According to Edwin B. Flippo, "Recruitment is the process of searching the candidates for employment and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization." According to Yoder, "Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient working force." Dale S. Beach "Recruitment is the development and maintenance of adequate manpower resources. It involves the creation of a pool of available labor upon whom the organization can draw when it needs additional employees." Recruitment is the activity that links the employers and the job seekers. It is a process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. It begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applications are submitted. The result is a pool of applications from which new employees are selected. It is the process to discover sources of manpower to meet the requirement of staffing schedule and to employ effective
measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient working force. Recruitment of candidates is the function preceding the selection, which helps create a pool of prospective employees for the organization so that the management can select the right candidate for the right job from this pool. The main objective of the recruitment process is to expedite the selection process. Recruitment is a continuous process whereby the firm attempts to develop a pool of qualified applicants for the future human resources needs even though specific vacancies do not exist. Usually, the recruitment process starts when a manger initiates an employee requisition for a specific vacancy or an anticipated vacancy.

Anticipated: Anticipated needs are those movements in personnel, which an organization can predict by studying trends in internal and external environment. 3.

The recruitment and selection is the major function of the human resource department and recruitment process is the first step towards creating the competitive strength and the strategic advantage for the organizations. Recruitment process involves a systematic procedure from sourcing the candidates to arranging and conducting the interviews and requires many resources and time. A general recruitment process is as follows:
1. Identifying the vacancy: The recruitment process begins with the human resource department receiving requisitions for recruitment from any department of the company. These contain: • Posts to be filled • Number of persons • Duties to be performed • Qualifications required 2. Preparing the job description and person specification. 3. Locating and developing the sources of required number and type of employees (Advertising etc). 4. Short-listing and identifying the prospective employee with required characteristics. 5. Arranging the interviews with the selected candidates. 6. Conducting the interview and decision making The recruitment process is immediately followed by the selection process i.e. the final interviews and the decision making, conveying the decision and the appointment formalities.
Every organization has the option of choosing the candidates for its recruitment processes from two kinds of sources: internal and external sources. The sources within the organization itself (like transfer of employees from one department to other, promotions) to fill a position are known as the internal sources of recruitment. Recruitment candidates from all the other sources (like outsourcing agencies etc.) are known as the external sources of recruitment.
INTERNAL SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT 1. TRANSFERS The employees are transferred from one department to another according to their efficiency and experience. 2. PROMOTIONS The employees are promoted from one department to another
with more benefits and greater responsibility based on efficiency and experience. 3. Others are Upgrading and Demotion of present employees according to their performance. 4. Retired and Retrenched employees may also be recruited once again in case of shortage of qualified personnel or increase in load of work. Recruitment such people save time and costs of the organizations as the people are already aware of the organizational culture and the policies and procedures. 5. The dependents and relatives of Deceased employees and Disabled employees are also done by many companies so that the members of the family do not become dependent on the mercy of others. Advantages: 1. Motivated employees and Higher morale 2. Employees familiar with the organization 3. Higher probability of success 4. Industrial Peace 5. Relatively inexpensive 6. Training and skill enhancement 7. Overcoming surpluses and shortages Disadvantages: 1. Reduced scope for fresh talent. 2. Employees may become lethargic if they are sure of time bound promotions 3. Spirit of competition may be hampered 4. Frequent transfers of employees may reduce the overall productivity of the organization. 5. Political infighting for promotion
EXTERNAL SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT 1. PRESS ADVERTISEMENTS: Advertisements of the vacancy in newspapers and journals are a widely used source of recruitment. The main advantage of this method is that it has a wide reach. 2. EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTES: Various management institutes, engineering colleges, medical Colleges etc. are a good source of recruiting well qualified executives, engineers, medical staff etc. They provide facilities for campus interviews and placements. This source is known as Campus Recruitment. 3. PLACEMENT AGENCIES: Several private consultancy firms perform recruitment functions on behalf of client companies by charging a fee. These agencies are particularly suitable for recruitment of executives and specialists. It is also known as RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing) 4. EMPLOYMENT EXCHANGES: Government establishes public employment exchanges throughout the country. These exchanges provide job information to job seekers and help employers in identifying suitable candidates. 5. LABOUR CONTRACTORS: Manual workers can be recruited through contractors who maintain close contacts with the sources of such workers. This source is used to recruit labor for construction jobs. 6. UNSOLICITED APPLICANTS: Many job seekers visit the office of well-known companies on their own. Such callers are considered nuisance to the daily work routine of the enterprise. But can help in creating the talent pool or the database of the probable candidates for the organization.
7. EMPLOYEE REFERRALS / RECOMMENDATIONS: Many organizations have structured system where the current employees of the organization can refer their friends and relatives for some position in their organization. Also, the office bearers of trade unions are often aware of the suitability of candidates. Management can inquire these leaders for suitable jobs. In some organizations these are formal agreements to give priority in recruitment to the candidates recommended by the trade union. 8. RECRUITMENT AT FACTORY GATE: Unskilled workers may be recruited at the factory gate these may be employed whenever a permanent worker is absent. More efficient among these may be recruited to fill permanent vacancies. Advantages: 1. Qualified Personnel 2. Wider Choice 3. Fresh Talent 4. Competitive Spirit Disadvantages: 1. Dissatisfaction amongst existing staff 2. Lengthy process (Increased adjustment period) 3. Costly Process 4. Uncertain Process
The recruitment function of the organizations is affected and governed by a mix of various internal and external forces. The internal forces or factors are the factors that can be controlled by the organization. And
the external factors are those factors which cannot be controlled by the organization. THE INTERNAL FORCES I.E. THE FACTORS WHICH CAN BE CONTROLLED BY THE ORGANIZATION ARE: 1. RECRUITMENT POLICY The recruitment policy of an organization specifies the objectives of recruitment and provides a framework for implementation of recruitment programme. It may involve organizational system to be developed for implementing recruitment programmes and procedures by filling up vacancies with best qualified people. FACTORS AFFECTING RECRUITMENT POLICY • Organizational objectives • Personnel policies of the organization and its competitors. • Government policies on reservations. • Preferred sources of recruitment. • Need of the organization. • Recruitment costs and financial implications. 2. HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING Effective human resource planning helps in determining the gaps present in the existing manpower of the organization. It also helps in determining the number of employees to be recruited and what qualification they must possess. 3. SIZE OF THE FIRM The size of the firm is an important factor in recruitment process. If the organization is planning to increase its operations and expand its business, it will think of hiring more personnel, which will handle its operations.
4. COST Recruitment incur cost to the employer, therefore, organizations try to employ that source of recruitment which will bear a lower cost of recruitment to the organization for each candidate. 5. GROWTH AND EXPANSION Organization will employ or think of employing more personnel if it is expanding it's operations. THE EXTERNAL FORCES ARE THE FORCES WHICH CANNOT BE CONTROLLED BY THE ORGANIZATION. THE MAJOR EXTERNAL FORCES ARE: 1. SUPPLY AND DEMAND The availability of manpower both within and outside the organization is an important determinant in the recruitment process. If the company has a demand for more professionals and there is limited supply in the market for the professionals demanded by the company, then the company will have to depend upon internal sources by providing them special training and development programs. 2. LABOUR MARKET Employment conditions in the community where the organization is located will influence the recruiting efforts of the organization. If there is surplus of manpower at the time of recruitment, even informal attempts at the time of recruiting like notice boards display of the requisition or announcement in the meeting etc will attract more than enough applicants.
3. IMAGE / GOODWILL Image of the employer can work as a potential constraint for recruitment. An organization with positive image and goodwill as an employer finds it easier to attract and retain employees than an organization with negative image. Image of a company is based on what organization does and affected by industry. For example finance was taken up by fresher MBA's when many finance companies were coming up. 4. POLITICAL-SOCIAL- LEGAL ENVIRONMENT Various government regulations prohibiting discrimination in hiring and employment have direct impact on recruitment practices. For example, Government of India has introduced legislation for reservation in employment for scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, physically handicapped etc. Also, trade unions play important role in recruitment. This restricts management freedom to select those individuals who it believes would be the best performers. If the candidate can't meet criteria stipulated by the union but union regulations can restrict recruitment sources. 5. UNEMPLOYMENT RATE One of the factors that influence the availability of applicants is the growth of the economy (whether economy is growing or not and its rate). When the company is not creating new jobs, there is often oversupply of qualified labor which in turn leads to unemployment. 6. COMPETITORS The recruitment policies of the competitors also affect the recruitment function of the organizations. To face the competition, many a times the organizations have to change their recruitment policies according to the policies being followed by the competitors.
Headhunting refers to the approach of finding and attracting the best
experienced person with the required skill set. Headhunting involves convincing the person to join your organization.
Headhunting Process
In today's rapidly changing business environment, a well defined recruitment policy is necessary for organizations to respond to its human resource requirements in time. Therefore, it is important to have a clear and concise recruitment policy in place, which can be executed effectively to recruit the best talent pool for the selection of the right candidate at the right place quickly. Creating a suitable recruitment policy is the first step in the efficient hiring process. A clear and concise recruitment policy helps ensure a sound recruitment process. It specifies the objectives of recruitment and provides a framework for implementation of recruitment programme. It may involve organizational system to be developed for implementing recruitment programmes and procedures by filling up vacancies with best qualified people. Components of the Recruitment Policy The general recruitment policies and terms of the organization Recruitment services of consultants
Recruitment of temporary employees Unique recruitment situations The selection process The job descriptions The terms and conditions of the employment
A recruitment policy of an organization should be such that: It should focus on recruiting the best potential people. To ensure that every applicant and employee is treated equally with dignity and respect. Unbiased policy. To aid and encourage employees in realizing their full potential. Transparent, task oriented and merit based selection. Weightage during selection given to factors that suit organization needs. Optimization of manpower at the time of selection process. Defining the competent authority to approve each selection. Abides by relevant public policy and legislation on hiring and employment relationship. Integrates employee needs with the organizational needs.
Factors Affecting Recruitment Policy Organizational objectives Personnel policies of the organization and its competitors. Government policies on reservations. Preferred sources of recruitment. Need of the organization. Recruitment costs and financial implications.
1. OUTSOURCING In India, the HR processes are being outsourced from more than a decade now. A company may draw required personnel from outsourcing firms. The outsourcing firms help the organization by the initial screening of the candidates according to the needs of the organization and creating a suitable pool of talent for the final selection by the organization. Outsourcing firms develop their human resource pool by employing people for them and make available personnel to various companies as per their needs. In turn, the outsourcing firms or the intermediaries charge the organizations for their services. Outsourcing the human resource (HR) processes is the latest practice being followed by middle and large sized organizations. It is being witnessed across all the industries. In India, the HR processes are being outsourced from nearly a decade now. Outsourcing industry is growing at a high rate. Human Resource Outsourcing refers to the process in which an organization uses the expert services of a third party (generally professional consultants) to take care of its HR functions while HR management can focus on the strategic dimension of their function. The functions that are typically outsourced are the functions that need expertise, relevant experience, knowledge and best methods and practices. This has given rise to outsourcing the various HR functions of an organization. HR Consultancies such as Ma Foi and Planman Consulting provide such services through expert professional consultants. Human
resources business process outsourcing (HR BPO) is a major component of the worldwide BPO market. Performance management outsourcing involves all the performance monitoring, measurement, management being outsourced from a third party or an external organization. Many organizations have started outsourcing its recruitment process i.e. transferring all or some part of its recruitment process to an external consultant providing the recruitment services. It is commonly known as RPO i.e. recruitment process outsourcing. More and more medium and large sized organizations are outsourcing their recruitment process right from the entry level jobs to the C-level jobs. The present value of the recruitment process outsourcing industry (RPO) in India is estimated to be $2.5 billion and it is expected to grow at the annual rate of 30-40 per cent for the next couple of years. According to a recent survey, only 8-10 per cent of the Indian companies are complete recruitment processes. However, the number of companies outsourcing their recruitment processes is increasing at a very fast rate and so is the percentage of their total recruitment processes being outsourced. Outsourcing organizations strive for providing cost saving benefits to their clients. One of the major advantages to organizations, who outsource their recruitment process, is that it helps to save up to as much as 40 per cent of their recruitment costs. With the experience, expertise and the economies of scale of the third party, organizations are able to improve the quality of the recruits and the speed of the whole process. Also,
outsourcing enables the human resource professionals of organizations to focus on the core and other HR and strategic issues. Outsourcing also gives a structured approach to the whole process of recruitment, with the ultimate power of decision making of recruiting with the organization itself. The portion of the recruitment cycle that is outsourced range from preparing job descriptions to arranging interviews, the activities that consume almost 70 per cent of the time of the whole recruitment process. Outsourcing the recruitment processes for a sector like BPO, which faces an attrition of almost 50-60 per cent, can help the companies in BPO sector to save costs tremendously and focus on other issues like retention. The job seekers are also availing the services of the third parties (consultants) for accessing the latest job opportunities. In India, the trend of outsourcing recruitment is also catching up fast. For example: Vodafone outsources its recruitment activities to Alexander Mann Solutions (RPO service provider). Wipro has outsourced its recruitment process to MeritTrac. Yes bank is also known to outsource 50 per cent of its recruitment processes.
Outsourcing Process
How to Select a Recruitment Consultant If an organization decides to outsource its recruitment processes or activities, it is very important to find and select a suitable
recruitment consultant or consultancies, which can deliver results according to the needs of the organization. Today, there are thousands of consulting firms (consultancies) as well as freelance consultants working independently. An organization looks for various considerations and qualities before selecting the suitable recruitment consultant. The reputation of the consulting firm in the job market (based on expertise and experience). Who are the consultant's or firm's past and present clients? Consultant's expertise and experience (from how long has he/firm been in the business) Does the recruitment consultant have the requisite resources to complete the targets on time? Get the idea of the effectiveness and the services of the recruitment consultant from its current and past clients. Qualities of an independent recruitment consultant: Marketing skills Flexibility and adaptability Wisdom Exuberance Ability to prioritise Ambition Resourcefulness Diplomacy/ delicacy Selecting the right recruitment consultant is essential for the effective recruitment processes. A successful Recruitment consultant is someone who is determinative, focused, and able to create opportunities for him, works harder and smarter than competitors and continually set and achieve higher standards.
Advantages of outsourcing are: Outsourcing is beneficial for both the corporate organizations that use the outsourcing services as well as the consultancies that provide the service to the corporate. Apart from increasing their revenues, outsourcing provides business opportunities to the service providers, enhancing the skill set of the service providers and exposure to the different corporate experiences thereby increasing their expertise. The advantages accruing to the corporate are: turning the management's focus to strategic level processes of HRM accessibility to the expertise of the service providers freedom from red tape and adhering to strict rules and regulations optimal resource utilization structured and fair performance management. a satisfied and, hence, highly productive employees value creation, operational flexibility and competitive advantage 2. POACHING/RAIDING "Buying talent" (rather than developing it) is the latest mantra being followed by the organizations today. Poaching means employing a competent and experienced person already working with another reputed company in the same or different industry; the organization might be a competitor in the industry. A company can attract talent from another firm by offering attractive pay packages and other terms and conditions, better than the current employer of the candidate.
But it is seen as an unethical practice and not openly talked about. Indian software and the retail sector are the sectors facing the most severe brunt of poaching today. It has become a challenge for human resource managers to face and tackle poaching, as it weakens the competitive strength of the firm. 3. E-RECRUITMENT Many big organizations use Internet as a source of recruitment. E- recruitment is the use of technology to assist the recruitment process. They advertise job vacancies through worldwide web. The job seekers send their applications or curriculum vitae i.e. CV through e mail using the Internet. Alternatively job seekers place their CV's in worldwide web, which can be drawn by prospective employees depending upon their requirements. The two kinds of e- recruitment that an organization can use is – Job portals – i.e. posting the position with the job description and the job specification on the job portal and also searching for the suitable resumes posted on the site corresponding to the opening in the organization. Creating a complete online recruitment/application section in the companies own website. - Companies have added an application system to its website, where the 'passive' job seekers can submit their resumes into the database of the organization for consideration in future, as and when the roles become available. Resume Scanners: Resume scanner is one major benefit provided by the job portals to the organizations. It enables the employees to screen and filter the resumes through predefined criteria's and requirements (skills, qualifications,
experience, payroll etc.) of the job. Job sites provide a 24*7 access to the database of the resumes to the employees facilitating the just-in-time hiring by the organizations. Also, the jobs can be posted on the site almost immediately and is also cheaper than advertising in the employment newspapers. Sometimes companies can get valuable references through the "passers-by" applicants. Online recruitment helps the organizations to automate the recruitment process, save their time and costs on recruitments. Online recruitment techniques Giving a detailed job description and job specifications in the job postings to attract candidates with the right skill sets and qualifications at the first stage. E-recruitment should be incorporated into the overall recruitment strategy of the organization. A well defined and structured applicant tracking system should be integrated and the system should have a backend support. Along with the back-office support a comprehensive website to receive and process job applications (through direct or online advertising) should be developed. Therefore, to conclude, it can be said that e-recruitment is the "Evolving face of recruitment." Advantages of recruitment are: Low cost. No intermediaries Reduction in time for recruitment.
Recruitment of right type of people. Efficiency of recruitment process.
The organizations differ in terms of their size, business, processes and practices. A few decisions by the recruitment professionals can affect the productivity and efficiency of the organization. Organizations adopt different forms of recruitment practices according to the specific needs of the organization. The organizations can choose from the centralized or decentralized forms of recruitment, explained below: Centralized Recruitment The recruitment practices of an organization are centralized when the HR / recruitment department at the head office performs all functions of recruitment. Recruitment decisions for all the business verticals and departments of an organization are carried out by the one central HR (or recruitment) department. Centralized from of recruitment is commonly seen in government organizations. Benefits of the centralized form of recruitment are: Reduces administration costs Better utilization of specialists Uniformity in recruitment Interchangeability of staff Reduces favoritism Every department sends requisitions for recruitment to their central office
Decentralized Recruitment Decentralized recruitment practices are most commonly seen in the case of conglomerates operating in different and diverse business areas. With diverse and geographically spread business areas and offices, it becomes important to understand the needs of each department and frame the recruitment policies and procedures accordingly. Each department carries out its own recruitment. Choice between the two will depend upon management philosophy and needs of particular organization. In some cases combination of both is used. Lower level staffs as well as top level executives are recruited in a decentralized manner.
Recruitment is a function that requires business perspective, expertise, ability to find and match the best potential candidate for the organization, diplomacy, marketing skills (as to sell the position to the candidate) and wisdom to align the recruitment processes for the benefit of the organization. The HR professionals – handling the recruitment function of the organization- are constantly facing new challenges. The biggest challenge for such professionals is to source or recruit the best people or potential candidate for the organization. In the last few years, the job market has undergone some fundamental changes in terms of technologies, sources of recruitment, competition in the market etc. In an already saturated job market, where the practices like poaching and raiding are gaining momentum, HR professionals are constantly facing new challenges in one of their most important function- recruitment. They have to face and conquer
various challenges to find the best candidates for their organizations. The major challenges faced by the HR in recruitment are: 1. Adaptability to globalization – The HR professionals are expected and required to keep in tune with the changing times, i.e. the changes taking place across the globe. HR should maintain the timeliness of the process 2. Lack of motivation – Recruitment is considered to be a thankless job. Even if the organisation is achieving results, HR department or professionals are not thanked for recruiting the right employees and performers. 3. Process analysis – The immediacy and speed of the recruitment process are the main concerns of the HR in recruitment. The process should be flexible, adaptive and responsive to the immediate requirements. The recruitment process should also be cost effective. 4. Strategic prioritization – The emerging new systems are both an opportunity as well as a challenge for the HR professionals. Therefore, reviewing staffing needs and prioritizing the tasks to meet the changes in the market has become a challenge for the recruitment professionals.
1. Quid Pro Que These are the people who say that " I can do this for you, what can you give me" These people value high responsibilities, higher risks, and
expect higher rewards, personal development and company profiles doesn't matter to them. 2. I will be with you These people like to be with big brands. Importance is given to brands. They are not bothered about work ethic, culture mission etc.
3. I will do you what you want These people are concerned about how meaningful the job is and they define meaning parameters criteria known by previous job. 4. Where do you want me to come These people observe things like where is your office, what atmosphere do you offer. Career prospects and exciting projects don't entice them as much. It is the responsibility of the recruiter to decide what the employee might face in given job and thus take decision. A good decision will help cut down employee retention costs and future recruitment costs.
Recruitment is of the most crucial roles of the human resource professionals. The level of performance of and organization depends on the effectiveness of its recruitment function. Organizations have developed and follow recruitment strategies to hire the best talent for their organization and to utilize their resources optimally. A successful recruitment strategy should be well planned and practical to attract more and good talent to apply in the organization.
For formulating an effective and successful recruitment strategy, the strategy should cover the following elements: 1. Identifying and prioritizing jobs Requirements keep arising at various levels in every organization; it is almost a never-ending process. It is impossible to fill all the positions immediately. Therefore, there is a need to identify the positions requiring immediate attention and action. To maintain the quality of the recruitment activities, it is useful to prioritize the vacancies whether to focus on all vacancies equally or focusing on key jobs first. 2. Candidates to target The recruitment process can be effective only if the organization completely understands the requirements of the type of candidates that are required and will be beneficial for the organization. This covers the following parameters as well: Performance level required: Different strategies are required for focusing on hiring high performers and average performers. Experience level required: the strategy should be clear as to what is the experience level required by the organization. The candidate's experience can range from being a fresher to experienced senior professionals. Category of the candidate: the strategy should clearly define the target candidate. He/she can be from the same industry, different industry, unemployed, top performers of the industry etc. 3. Sources of recruitment The strategy should define various sources (external and internal) of recruitment. Trained recruiters The recruitment professionals conducting the interviews and the other recruitment activities should be well-trained and
experienced to conduct the activities. They should also be aware of the major parameters and skills (e.g.: behavioral, technical etc.) to focus while interviewing and selecting a candidate. 4. How to evaluate the candidates The various parameters and the ways to judge them i.e. the entire recruitment process should be planned in advance. Like the rounds of technical interviews, HR interviews, written tests, psychometric tests etc.
Recruitment management system is the comprehensive tool to manage the entire recruitment processes of an organization. It is one of the technological tools facilitated by the information management systems to the HR of organizations. Just like performance management, payroll and other systems, Recruitment management system helps to contour the recruitment processes and effectively managing the ROI on recruitment. The features, functions and major benefits of the recruitment management system are explained below: Structure and systematically organize the entire recruitment processes. Recruitment management system facilitates faster, unbiased, accurate and reliable processing of applications from various applications. Helps to reduce the time-per-hire and cost-per-hire. Recruitment management system helps to incorporate and integrate the various links like the application system on the official website of the company, the unsolicited applications,

Asura Online
Asura Online tells a tale originating from the famous classic Chinese novel "Journey to the West". It defines itself in a darker setting and twists from the original. You begin your journey at the Flower Fruit Mountain (Hua Guo Shan), where the monkey king Sun Wukong once lived. One day, you received a Mark on your body which the monkey king once had too. Driven by a sense of destiny, you left your home and set out to explore the world, seeking the reason of the mark's appearance and its link to the fate of the world.
The stories are unveiled through various cut-scenes with spot-on voice-acting. As you travel around the world, it is not hard to note that the towns, monsters and NPCs' do make reference to the original novel.

The Timeless Wisdom of Harry S. Trumanby Bob Underdown
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
Here's 150 Memorable quotes from President Harry S. Truman. Harry S. Truman (May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972) was the 33rd President of the United States (1945–1953). As President Franklin D. Roosevelt's third vice-president and the 34th Vice President of the United States (1945), he succeeded to the presidency on April 12, 1945, when President Roosevelt died less than three months after beginning his historic fourth term. Truman, in sharp contrast to the imperious Roosevelt who kept personal control of all major decisions, was a folksy, unassuming president who relied on his cabinet. He popularized such phrases as "The Buck Stops Here" and "If you can't stand the heat, you better get out of the kitchen." His approval ratings in the polls started out very high, then steadily sank until he was one of the most unpopular men to leave the White House. Popular and scholarly assessments of his presidency eventually became more positive after his retirement from politics. Truman's legendary upset victory in 1948 over Thomas E. Dewey is routinely invoked by underdog presidential candidates..

Hi folks, we are planning a trip and are going to be staying the first few nights in Positano (traveling there from Naples) before heading up to Venice for a couple of days. I was wondering what might be the best way to get from Positano to Venice. So far I have been looking at the train and from Naples to Venice seems to be the easiest way. We had considered flying, but honestly, with the travel to and from the aiport, checking in, waiting, worrying about luggage, we decided the train would be more leisurely (we are on holidays after all). Are we correct in assuming Positano to Naples to Venice would be the best route to take? Any other suggestions? Any help would be great. Thanks so much for your input.

Travel between Positano and Venice
Report Abuse
Of course, you're on holiday, not on a rushed business trip, so definitely forget the hassle of flying.
The two options are Naples to Venice (with bus Positano to Sorrento for Circumvesuviana railway to Naples) or Salerno to Venice with bus Positano-Salerno. Either works.

I would take the ferry from Positano to Salerno (great way to see the last of the AC) and then train from Salerno to Venice. No need to hassle with the bus.

Last year I did an overnight trip from Rome to Positano. On the way there, we took the train to Naples and then the Circumvesuviana to Sorrento, and then a cab to Positano, whew! On the way back however, we went through Salerno, which involved much fewer connections. Instead of a bus, I would highly recommend the 45 minute ferry from Positano to Salerno. It's a gorgeous ride with views of Amalfi, Ravello, Vietri sul Mare. Once you get off of the ferry, it's a leisurely 10 minute walk to the train station. Sure, the train was delayed a hour once we left, but it was easy! The ferry schedule is here: http://www.coopsantandrea.com/. You can buy tickets day of at the ticket counter a few hours before your intended departure. I am not certain about the Salerno to Venice, so you will want to check the Trenitalia website. I think I saw a trip that takes about 5.5 hours with one change in Rome. Hope this helps!

It's 5.5 hours from Naples to Venice (Santa Lucia, main dead-end station in Venice with always it seems a change of trains in Rome. And it will take you two hours to get to Naples train station from Positano either via Sorrento or Salerno.
Man in Seat 61 says tickets from 19 euros at www.trenitalia.com - does this mean for both trains - 19 euros Naples to Venice - as would you have to book two 19 euro trains?
Just curious - if anyone knows be clear it up for me.
Report Abuse
many naples to venice train links involve a change of trains at Bologna - one of the neatest cities I've seen in Italy - put bags in station baggage deposit and spend a few hours to break your journey in one of Italy's oldest-looking and sweetest-looking cities perhaps!

THanks all for the speedy (!) replies - will look in to both options of naples and salerno and compare prices. Also PalenQ that sounds neat... if it worked out timewise it would be great to see another city... any recommendations for just a few hours there?

Thank you smithgarder

Well just head to the Centro Storico (sp?) or historical city center and stroll around - here are many arcaded old streets and the university - Bologna is said to have more certified medieval buildings than any city in Italy, I read. So besides the cathedral - the usual highlight of Italian cities just stroll around - the train station is about a mile from the city center if I recall correctly.

And if you like the night train (sleeping cars): Salerno dp 20.38 - Milano Centrale ar 6.55.
Connecting buses and trains:
Milan dp 7.35 - Venice ar 10.17
Positano dp 16.40 or, may be a bit risky: 17.50

or better. Positano dp 18.10 via Sorrento to Naples

Www.trenitalia.com for the online train ticket from €19>
Man in Seat 61 - I have lpooked at many fares for the next few months and see no 19 euro Naples to Venice fare but only 39 as the cheapest and relatively few of them - mainly 59 and full fare, I presume, of about 85.
Where are your touted 19 euro fares?

They Came To Spokane As Prisoners And Stayed
And there they were: members of Field Marshal Rommel's deadly Afrika Korps, picking apples in the Okanogan Valley.
"I wasn't dreaming as I beheld this scene, but it was fantastic enough to have been a dream," wrote a Spokesman-Review reporter on Nov. 19, 1944.
German prisoners of war, held at Fort Lewis, were once shipped east to pick apples. Their hearts were not in it, the reporter concluded. The Desert Rats, their proud hats cockily askew, "lazed away," picking only 40 boxes a day compared to the 361 boxes turned in by the champion Chelan picker.
In Arizona meanwhile, Italian infantrymen built swimming pools, picked cotton and tended lettuce fields.
World War II prisoners of war, held in scattered camps throughout the United States, were generally well-fed, working and paid for their work. U.S. officials, fearing retaliation against the more than 100,000 Americans held prisoner overseas, ensured their treatment fell well within the rules of the Geneva Convention.
For some, the camps were all they needed of America. For others like Gino Clarizio, it was just the beginning.
Today, you can hear Clarizio singing in the Spokane Memorial Arena or wherever he may be installing flooring for Floormart. His Italian heritage is as obvious as the opera he breaks into, the grapes he tends in his back yard, the small pension he collects from the Italian Army.
"Italian welfare," he says with a laugh when the check arrives. It's a good joke, but nothing is funny about how he earned it.
Clarizio's youth disappeared in a cloud of desert dust: three years of fighting for the Italian Army in North Africa. By the time the young soldier left his tank waving a white sheet in surrender, his dreams of becoming a lawyer had blown away.
Taken prisoner of war, he was transported to a camp in Arizona and eventually went to San Francisco where he distinguished himself in the motor pool. After Italy was liberated, he continued to work in California alongside American servicemen. He visited uncles in Oakland. He performed in choirs and quintets singing "You'll Never Know How Much I Love You."
At war's end, Clarizio went home to Italy. In his devastated town of Bari, he helped disarm bombs, sold surplus equipment and eventually married Mary, the girl next door.
His father-in-law had emigrated to Spokane years earlier. (Mary's brother Laurence Ferrante was a North Central graduate who died fighting the Axis Powers.)
The couple followed Mary's family here. Settling in Spokane, they struggled to learn English, raise three sons and start over. It's been a good life, though not always easy.
"It's tough," Mary said. "It's like being born again."
"When I came to this country, I started at the bottom," Clarizio says. "But I made a foundation."
Wilhelm Leneke made one as well.
The German soldier was held a prisoner of war in Texas and Utah. In 1953, after Germany was divided by the Iron Curtain, he returned to the United States.
"He must have had pleasant memories of it," said his former wife. "I don't know if he would have even come later at all except for the fact he had been a prisoner. He knew what he was coming to."
For four decades, Leneke worked in Spokane, mostly in nurseries. He also returned home frequently and grew more and more homesick.
In 1993 when the Berlin Wall went down, he went back. At 83, he returned to East Germany to rebuild the family farm. The story made Germany's national news.
It also ended his marriage because his wife didn't want to go.
Leneke is 85, his health is failing, but he is still working on that farm.
"You leave home, you leave everything you know," his former wife said.
The Spokesman-Review reporter said it years ago:
"Incongruous business, this thing called war."

Select A Ticket Press Releases
BCS Tickets at SelectATicket.com - Two Heisman Trophy Finalists, One Game
Get BCS tickets and see college football greats Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford - two finalists for the 2008 Heisman Trophy. SelectATicket.com can get the best seats for gametime.
Get BCS tickets and see college football greats Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford - two finalists for the 2008 Heisman Trophy. SelectATicket.com can get the best seats for gametime.
College Football fans who have BCS National Championship Game tickets will get to see two Heisman Trophy finalists play in the BCS Championship Game.
BCS Championship Tickets Available Now at SelectATicket.com
2007 Winner Tim Tebow leads his Florida Gators in to battle against 2008 Heisman Trophy Winner Sam Bradford and the Oklahoma Sooners. See both of these stars at the BCS game on Thursday, January 8, 2009 at Miami, Florida's Dolphin Stadium. Tickets are on sale at SelectATicket.com.
Celebrate the New Year with tickets to the BCS game. ''The most outstanding college football player in the country last year was Tim Tebow. Bradford was the only man who could have kept Tebow from becoming the 2nd back-to-back Heisman winner in college football history, and he did. Beyond that, these teams are deep with talent,'' said Tara Rau, Vice President of Acquisitions and Risk Management at SelectATicket.com.
''There's always a lot of arguments but I think the BCS got it right this year, it is a matchup of the two best teams in college football. It's a game you don't want to miss,'' said Rau.
College Football's Division I National Championship is pitting two of the hottest teams in the nation against each other. Oklahoma won the Big 12 championship and Florida took home the SEC title. The two teams - the Oklahoma Sooners and Florida Gators - are No. 1 and No. 2 in the final BCS standings.
Both have had long winning streaks. Since losing to Texas, Oklahoma has won seven straight games, and set an NCAA record for points in a season. Florida has played well too - with nine straight wins since being upset by Mississippi.
What's a game without some controversy? The way the game has been decided has been controversial. People have criticized the way the BCS chooses who plays. The teams are picked using a combination of the often complicated and confusing BCS computer rankings and two polls.
Among those who want change: the most popular politician in the country right now. President-elect Barack Obama has his take on how the championship should be decided. Not by polls and computers. In an interview with 60 Minutes, Obama he said he wants a playoffs series to decide. He said, ''I don't know any serious fan of college football who has disagreed with me on this.''
Either way, tickets to the BCS championship game are coveted,and SelectATicket.com can get the best seats.

The Picture Palace
I went to see Looper in a double bill with Dredd 3D. The two films worked very well together: they are both set in a dystopian future, they both include some rather far out drugs and they both feature psychic powers.
I had high expectations for Looper. Every review I had read was glowing with praise, friends were impressed and my social media streams were alight with good word on the film.
Maybe those high expectations were part of the problem. They never help the viewing of a film. It is always better to be blindsided by a classic or surprised by what you had assumed might be a clunker. That's part of the fun of going to the cinema. When the lights go down, you roll the dice.
I was impressed and entertained by Looper, but it didn't completely flip my lid. It didn't bake my noodle, flip my burger or, indeed, mash my potatoes.
It just sort of came and went. In fact, at certain moments, I was a little bit bored.
It's a high concept sci-fi film that is, rightly, not concerned with the intricacies and paradoxes of time travel. Instead, we have a character piece that, eventually, pits Joseph Gordon-Levitt against his older self, played by Bruce Willis.
Director Rian Johnson turns what in other hands would have become a cat-and-mouse action romp into something much more offbeat and surprising. Johnson is an interesting director who made a splash a few years back with his debut feature, Brick - a fun, if slightly contrived, film noir and high school mash-up.
He followed that with a disappointing mess, The Brothers Bloom, that left everyone wondering if Brick was a one-off.
It's good to see him back on form and bringing his offbeat sensibilities to a mainstream Bruce Willis movie like Looper.
It's also nice to see the return of good, old-fashioned, thought-provoking science fiction movies. There's been a cool trend recently for modesty scaled, thoughtful science fiction of the kind that I feared the success of Men in Black had killed forever.
We've had Children of Men, District 9, Monsters, Moon and Source Code. They are all modestly made, but full of challenging ideas. That's the great thing about good sci-fi, it is never really talking about the future, it is always talking in code about the preoccupations of the present day.
I wouldn't put Looper in that high company, but it is an interesting and novel take on the time travel genre. It isn't as thought-provoking or ornate as something like Primer from 2004 or Timecrimes from 2007, both highly recommended, but it had fun with a neat concept.
But, what did you think of Looper? Did you think Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon Levitt looked at all alike? Did the fact it made no sense whatsoever put you off? Post your thoughts below.
Also, as an aside, I've noticed my blog readers are way smarter and better informed than me, so maybe you can help me with this one. I remember reading ages ago about a project that reminds me of Looper. A producer like Joel Silver or Jerry Bruckheimer had a script that they had been trying to get made for decades about a man hunting his older self. What was that film? Can anybody find it on the web and send me a link?
I have set up a Facebook page for this blog. ''Like'' if you want blog updates, want to put a trailer my way or suggest a blog topic.
