Jersey Overseas Aid Commission 2015 Community Work Projects Jersey Overseas Aid Commission are seeking volunteers to take part in their 2015 Community Work Projects. They will be holding a presentation on Tuesday 21st October at St. Pauls Centre and welcome you to come along and find out how you could help. The aim of the Bangladesh 2015 project is to build additional classrooms, latrines, headmasters office and staff room at Little Stars Primary School in Muktaram Village which is in the Kurigram district in Northern Bangladesh. The Kurigram district has a population of approx. 2 million people, 17 rivers and its main crop is rice. This will be the third visit for a JOAC team. A team visited the school in April 2012 to help build classrooms and a team visited in 2013 to help construct a health clinic. The aim of the Uganda 2015 project is to build nursery
classrooms, latrines, and staff accommodation at Sermon on the Mountain Primary School in Luweero, Uganda. A team of JOAC volunteers helped to build classrooms at this school in 2007. The aim of the Zambia 2015 project is to build additional classrooms, latrines, and staff accommodation at Ng’andu Primary School in Mukuni Chiefdom of the Southern Province, Zambia. The school was opened in 1938 and although it has had some renovation work done it is one of the oldest in the area. Many of the children attending are orphans as a result of the high incidence of HIV/Aids in the area. Over the years Overseas Aid has found that a Team of equal numbers of males and females with an age range of 18 to 70 works well. Ideally they would wish to include some skilled tradesmen and a nurse but it is most important to have the
willingness to pitch in and work hard. Applicants should be reasonably fit and should not suffer from any health problems which would prevent them from carrying out physically demanding work for eight hours per day, five and a half days per week. It will also be hot; about 30 degrees so team members should be prepared to work in hotter conditions than they are probably used to. Each volunteer, if accepted, will be expected to make a contribution of £550 to the project cost and to provide all his/her personal kit. £50 is returnable at the end of the project providing the volunteer has maintained a good standard of behavior throughout and has completed the de-brief form and attended the teams welcome back session upon return. A recommended kit list will be provided during the training period.
Mauritian Reptiles Get The Backing Of International Philanthropist Thanks To Local Trust Company, Nautilus Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust is one of several local charities set to benefit from a multi-million pound charitable foundation, which is managed by Jersey based trust company, Nautilus. The Jersey Foundation, established by an international philanthropist, will be making pledges to several local charities throughout 2014, one of which is to Durrell for £50,000. The donation will fund conservation work in Mauritius. The £50,000 will support Durrell’s mission of saving species from extinction through the delivery of conservation projects on the ground and training Mauritian conservationists. On the ground, the funding will support efforts to restore six species of highly threatened reptile, including the Telfair’s Skink, Orange Tailed Skink and Gunther’s Gecko, on the network of small islands that lie off the coast of Mauritius. This includes funding a desperately needed 4 x 4 vehicle to move the team and
equipment to field sites, trips to each of the islands, and the movement of reptiles between islands to rebuild populations. The funding will also support the work with Mauritian Wildlife Foundation to build local skills for conservation through the provision of scholarships to attend the Endangered Species Recovery course that is based at the new Durrell Conservation Academy – Mauritius campus, as well as support for students coming to the UK and Jersey to receive specialist training. Jan Kenny, executive director of Nautilus, said: “It has been a pleasure to work with our client and to identify some really wonderful causes locally with which we are to provide financial support. We have an affinity with Durrell given that Nautilus also has offices in Mauritius and we can see first-hand the benefits the donation has made already. We hope that this is the start of an on-going relationship between Nautilus and Durrell.”
Oliver Johnson, CEO of Durrell, commented: ‘We are delighted to receive such strong support from a local organisation; it truly reinforces community spirit for both Jersey and Mauritius.
We can only continue to show our gratitude towards this generous foundation and hope that others can appreciate conservation and sustainability in the remarkable way that Nautilus have’.

Yes little ghoul, there are Halloween rules Halloween is the one evening a year where scaring the c*#p out of each other and begging candy from strangers is entirely acceptable. Monsters fill the streets, adults turn their lights off, teenagers too old for trick or treat use the night to rot their teeth whilst parents subject their babies, cats, dogs or even goldfish to the humiliation of being dressed as a tiny pumpkin. Whatever your Halloween plans, follow our do’s and don’ts guide for a fun, candy packed evening.

Ormer by Shaun Rankin has proved its culinary credentials yet again with the retention of its Michelin star. The results have just been released by the Michelin Guide 2015 for UK and Ireland. The award follows a succession of accolades for the Jersey restaurant, which is fast becoming known as a destination restaurant on the international scene. This year Ormer has picked up 3 AA Rosettes, The Food & Travel ‘Restaurant of the Year Award for Best Newcomer’ and been shortlisted for the coveted ‘AA Food Service Award’. Shaun Rankin, Chef Proprietor, Ormer Restaurant, says: ‘It’s been a hugely successful year for us and I am so grateful to both our diners and accreditors in the industry for their support. We opened Ormer in interesting times for the industry as a whole driven by change and innovation. The past few years have seen less formal Michelin dining rise in popularity and this is
an ethos we have embraced at Ormer – consistently high quality but also inviting and unpretentious. Michelin have very much recognised this shift themselves and have evolved to reflect current diners demands and embrace establishments that reflect the way people like to live their lives today. It’s vital that we stay current and obtainable whilst never dropping standards or loosing the traditional values of good customer service. I am elated for my entire team that we have retained the star for the second year running and we look forward to celebrating with our customers.’

Nightlife Jersey’s Nightlife, can be fairly predictable. There are the usual haunts that are visited by the weekly town goers; St Helier often being referred to as the ‘Big City’, Ironic as it is anything but. Call us mad but despite the size and consistency of Jersey’s party places we like it, The main clubs are often packed to the seams from 11pm onwards, the atmosphere created by the many hugs, handshakes and (god help us) High-pitched screams is contagious as a large portion of the Islands population flood to one parish. There’s rarely a dispute about which club to visit as the choice is small, which in no way takes away the fun of the evening. For early starters there are food places a plenty, an old favourite, St James Wine Bar offering hearty pub grub loved by all. Early drinkers can get a head start, joining Jersey’s thriving Karaoke scene, sardines is not even close to how jammed those pubs can get! Chimes is a great option where you are guaranteed to see a friendly face. If you’re not keen on moving after eating St James also offers a great nightlife alternative with Karaoke in the bar and a club upstairs. Not much of a singer? Our St Helier Capital has a range of live music, showcasing local talent, Chimes on a Saturday Night is crammed with people eager to hear great Anthems live. Not a weekly party goer? Don’t fret HouseTrap’s upcoming Halloween Party (featuring My Digital Enemy) on 25th Oct is set to be a sell-out. None of the above your scene? If you’re looking for something a little more up market, head to Rojo’s Cocktail bar, the assortment on offer is unlike any other in Jersey whilst the atmosphere is classic and understated. Rojo’s host several popular events typically on Saturdays which include a mixture of well-known DJ’s. With summer still on the horizon the Roof Terrace is the perfect place to be anytime and in winter turns into Apres Ski offering winter warmers to keep the chill at bay. Whatever your tipple, Jersey has it all.

Historic Buildings With A Haunted History Chillingham Castle Northumberland
Athelhampton House Dorset
www.chillingham-castle.com
www.athelhampton.co.uk
Dating back to the 12th Century Chillingham Castle has been continuously owned by the family of the Earls Grey and their relations; today it’s considered one of the most haunted castles in the UK. Chillingham features alarming dungeons and a torture chamber and holds regular ‘Ghost Hunts’. With ghostly tales and reported encounters visitors try to spot some of the castle’s reported other-worldly inhabitants. The castle had a record 8 executions; the ghosts of those are thought to still haunt the castle today, other reports include that of the ghost of Lady Mary, a blue boy, and even a tortured child.
Is said to be one of the most haunted places in the county, thought to have connections to the Royalists during the Civil War two duellists have been reported to haunt the Great Chamber. Often tapping sounds are heard coming from the wine cellar whilst the ghost of the Grey Lady has been seen around the house though perhaps the most famous is the pet ape, accidentally entombed in a secret passage behind the Great Chamber. Though never seen, it is said you can often hear it scratching from the panels as it tries to escape.
Tower of London London www.hrp.org.uk/TowerOfLondon/ Having been described as the most haunted building in Britain The Tower of London has been investigated by countless paranormal teams over the years. Henry VI is said to haunt Wakefield Tower only on the yearly anniversary of his death pacing until the clock strikes midnight, whilst the White Tower is consumed by the scent of perfume thought to belong to the White Lady, often seen to be waving at school children. There have been several sightings of Queen Anne Boleyn who was arrested and beheaded on the 19th of May 1536 for high treason.

If you’re looking to increase the amount of “green” on the planet or just in your wallet by dropping your fuel expenditure, here’s a look at 2014’s most eco-friendly cars.
1: Peugeot 308 BlueHDI 120 – 91.1mpg, 82g/km CO2 It’s no surprise to see a small, frugal diesel engine leading the fuel economy stakes. Peugeot’s 308 - the 2014 European Car of the Year - returns an incredible 91.1mpg combined with just 82g/km CO2 when fitted with the French firm’s BlueHDI 120hp 1.6 turbodiesel unit. How long will it be before we see a conventionally fuelled family car that breaks the 100mpg barrier?
3: Hyundai i20 1.1CRDi – 88.3mpg, 84g/km CO2 When Hyundai facelifted the i20 supermini, part of the package of revisions included the launch of a super-efficient diesel model, using the firm’s excellent 1.1-litre three-cylinder engine. In eco-orientated Blue trim, it emits just 84g/km and averages an impressive 88.3mpg. Combined with great value prices, Hyundai has a compelling deal – one of the greenest regular-engined road cars, for one of the best-value prices on the road.
5: Volkswagen Golf 1.6 TDI 110 Bluemotion – 88.3mpg, 85g/km CO2 Yet another Volkswagen Golf variant that nails its brief perfectly, the 110hp Golf Bluemotion’s 1.6-litre turbodiesel unit will cover an incredible 88.3 miles for every gallon of juice it sips. With a projected range of more than 900 miles per tank, assuming an average of around 1012,000 miles per year, it means you might only have to fill up 11 times in 12 months.
7: Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTI 95 – 85.6mpg, 88g/km CO2 Given the Fiesta is much newer than the Vauxhall Corsa, with much newer engines, too, the Vauxhall’s older, smaller 1.3 turbodiesel returns similar power and similar fuel economy from 0.3 litres less. It offers exactly the same fuel economy as the Ford at 85.6mpg combined. Even at 3g/km CO2 more, it won’t make a difference to road tax – it’s still free. There’s a new Corsa coming soon, though, so expect even more.
9: Citroen C3 1.4 e-HDI Airdream – 83.1mpg, 87g/km CO2 Not to be outdone by its parent firm Peugeot, Citroen has also made its most fuelefficient supermini yet. The Citroen C3 in Airdream guise emits just 87g/km CO2. This equates to diesel fuel economy of 83.1mpg. As Citroen dealers love to do a deal, it’s a green supermini that’s well worth checking out. http://cars.uk.msn.com/features/green-motoring/top-10-most-economical-cars
2: Renault Clio 1.5 dCi 90 Eco 2 – 88.3mpg, 83g/km CO2 We know first hand just how efficient the Renault Clio 1.5 dCi 90 Eco2 is – we’ve got one and it’s delivering impressive real-world fuel economy. In real-world conditions, we’ve seen more than 84mpg, so with a very careful right foot and some clever hypermiling techniques, we’re confident Renault’s claims of 88.3mpg with 83g/km CO2 would be achievable.
4: Kia Rio 1.1 CRDi – 88.3mpg, 85g/km CO2 The roomy and practical Kia Rio five-door, five-seat supermini is a star when it comes to economy. With 88.3mpg and 85g/km CO2, Kia said it was the most economical conventionalengined car on sale anywhere in the world at launch. Well, it was until Hyundai rolled out the i20 sister car (above) with CO2 emissions that beat it – by 1g/km...
6: Ford Fiesta 1.6 TDCI 95 Econetic – 85.6mpg, 85g/km CO2 The UK’s favourite car is the sixth most economical one - when it comes to petrol and diesel, that is. Returning efficiency like this and combining it with the Fiesta’s traditional feisty driving dynamics, it’s no surprise it’s so popular. Ford’s most frugal supermini will return a claimed 85.6mpg with 85g/km CO2, meaning like every car before it, it’s road tax free.
8: Peugeot 208 1.4 e-HDI EGC – 83.1mpg, 87g/ km CO2 With the 208, Peugeot has made its prettiest supermini since the classic 205. But it’s not just an attractive face: the super-efficient 1.4-litre e-HDi engine is also very fuel-efficient too. It is capable of returning up to 83.1mpg and emits just 87g/km, with a clever and seamless stop-start system cutting inner-city exhaust emissions as well, like many cars on this list.
10: MINI One D – 83.1mpg, 87g/km CO2 The MINI One D is the first premium supermini in our rundown to combine low running costs thanks to high efficiency and all the prestige you’d expect from a marque like MINI. With its new third-generation hatchback, it’s really hit the nail on the head when it comes to blending desirability and brand image with what small car buyers want – lots of fuel economy and fun handling.

New Apprentices For Guernsey & Jersey Gas Guernsey and Jersey Gas have taken on their first apprentices for three years, including the company’s first ever female apprentice. ‘Following the company’s restructure, we are now looking to the future and need to ensure that we have the right people who are qualified and experienced and can deliver the service that our customers expect,’ said commercial director John Davies. ‘We had more than 50 applications across the three islands which we believe reflects our commitment to our very loyal workforce. People recognise that they can have a long, interesting and challenging career and we are delighted that so many people wanted to join us.’ All of the applicants went through an assessment programme that included informal and formal interviews, work-related testing and on-site assessment.

Is Being Self Employed The Right Thing For You? By Rachel Matthews
their careers where progression seems to level off and their jobs no longer provide a challenge or allow them to perform to their potential. Fun – all of the above factors can contribute to making the running of a company a fun and exciting job. You chose the company business model, objectives and plans and created your own job role, so in theory it should be just right for you! We all dream of having the perfect job, but it can be a reality for those who are self-employed. Money – if all goes to plan and your business becomes a profit-making success, there’s almost no limit to how much money you could make – compared to your earnings potential if you were employed by someone else.
can affect both your performance in your job and your home life. People who are self employed are more likely to take their worries home with them as they feel a constant pressure. Failure – we all make mistakes from time to time. It’s just a natural part of the learning process and even the most successful business owners wouldn’t have got where they did without the odd slip-up or misjudgement here and there. Some of us are better at dealing with failure than others, though, and your attitude will have a great impact on the success of your business.

When the HeadHunter Calls “Headhunters
approach employees even if they seem perfectly happy – who does that? I do that.”
Suddenly you’re a godsend, savage is not a word EVER heard, you aren’t stealing people you’re presenting opportunities, raising the talent and knowledge of the company you have been retained by. If you are a client in the know, you have me on Speed Dial. In today’s world the term headhunter is heard less often, it has transformed and instead you will hear of Talent Acquisition Specialists, Search and Selection Consultants or my personal favourite ‘The Corporate Handyman’ (or woman). No matter the term the definition is the same, views have extended beyond the distastefulness a headhunter used to experience.
For the client we are a natural part of the corporate function, a needed and valued service in these times of elevated competition, so much so that many companies now encourage their own resourcing teams to include headhunting as part of the overall recruitment strategy. Headhunter; This is clever. Where Client A will spend thousands of ‘savage who cuts off and preserves the heads of pounds recruiting using the local press or social media, enemies as trophies’. Client B has strategically planned to attract Client A’s workforce. The solution provided by a headhunter is a I was hoping to begin this article with a savvy and inter- cost-effective way to ensure a company stays at the top esting definition as to the role of a headhunter, the above of their game. You need to search the market, strategiis the first definition I came across in my trusty Oxford cally placed adverts may yield results but these are active Dictionary, needless to say this is not what I do. candidates. A headhunter will source Passive candidates. With a little more digging, Google threw this at me ‘’Approach and offer a job to a person working at a rival firm.’’ As far as definitions go, this one is pretty basic. I would argue that much more effort goes into sourcing and attracting rival talent, that being said it is by far the more favourable definition of the two.
Doesn’t this all seem slightly Un-ethical? Maybe… and that is why in time’s past it was viewed with slight contempt, however times have changed. If you aren’t doing it, your competitors are.
People are no longer ‘just grateful’ to have a job, employees want careers, opportunities, development plans and Many would not be blamed for thinking of headhuntmost importantly to feel valued and appreciated by their ers as savages, it has been a common conception over employer. In my experience, when headhunting a candiyears past, the word headhunter has experienced more date, they will tend not to explore another opportunity than its fair share of animosity. In truth, headhunters are if they are 100% satisfied with their current employ, that sometimes still viewed as menial professionals who will is not to say that the majority of employees are unhappy, stop at nothing to disrupt your workforce, steal your top happiness and complete satisfaction are a distance apart, performers and place them, yes, probably in a rival firm. however most employees would be lying if they said Headhunters approach your employees even if they there wasn’t an element of their current role they would seem perfectly happy – who does that?

The this opportunity, it is likely to be tempting. whole process is viewed in a completely different way. But just how do candidates feel about being approached?
Stepping back into history again headhunters were used to often experiencing a less than polite response from perspective candidates, I don’t blame them, by approaching you we are often invading your space, calling you out of the blue or pinging un-solicited e-mails into your inbox. We get it, we do, but without using these methods we would have no way of getting in touch with you. Generally apologies are the first words from my mouth. Snap back to present times and responses have changed dramatically. Passive candidates are a lot more open to hearing from the headhunter, candidates are sometimes flattered they have been identified or recommended, some candidates put work in to ensure they (or their profile) looks attractive to headhunters (Thank you LinkedIn). Those approached are almost always curious to hear what may be on offer. If handled sensitively the arrangement between Client, Candidate and headhunter can be a beneficial one ensuring reward and satisfaction for all parties. So…. Client or Candidate, next time you see my name pop up remember there is nothing scary about it. Oh and HAPPY HALLOWEEN. Marie-Clara Thaureux
