NOTICE FROM THE AUTHOR: Hi and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Here's a small parody of Charles Dickens' classic book, A Christmas Carol, but using the characters from Star Fox and my own from my classic Krazoa Legends fic. This is just a tribute to Christmas and or Savior Jesus, so Merry Christmas! Please note that several things may have been left from the classic, but I had to change several things, considering that this is Star Fox, in order to make it sound appropiate for this fic.
Janus-Ebenezer Sharpclaw
Falco-Narrator 1
Alma-Narrator 2
Fox-Anton Landry
Little Boy-Little Chris (Son of Anton)
Krystal-Sharon Landry
Peppy-Mr. Campbell
Slippy-Spirit Of Christmas Present
Tricky-Spirit of Christmas Past
Scales-Spirit of Christmas Future
"They want me to WHAT?" Janus aksed in shock as Cecilia put down a letter on a desk.
"They want you to star on a Christmas Performance, called 'A Christmas Carol'. If I were you, I'd say yes."
"NO! I'm no actor! I am a RESEARCHER, not an ACTOR!"
"Oh, come on! Everyone got a paper, and they all said yes! Why can't you follow their example?"
"For the last time, I'm no actor! I'd be useless for that!"
"Oh, come on! Say yes! Please!"
Janus walked to the couch and there he sat, mad. Why would he want to do such a thing anyway? "...I forgot to mention the HUGE money involved as a gratitude award of ten thousand credits..."
"TEN THOUSAND WHAT?" Janus quickly took the paper from the table, took a pen, and started to sign it.
"What are you doing?"
"Acting! What else?"
"Oh, thanks sweetie!" She gave him a great hug, almost chocking him.
"Cough! Stop, you're chocking me!"
"Janus, will you please hurry up? Thw whole thing starts in exactly five minutes! Aren't you dressed?!" Cecilia screamed as Janus came out of the dressing room in full despair and hurry.
"Yes, yes, I am! Let's just get on the stage!"
As soon as everyone was ready, Falco, who was up somewhere hidden, started to speak as the narrator into his microfone, giving a start to the theater piece.
NARRATOR 2: And now, ladies and gentlemen, we now present to you, "A Christmas Carol"! This is a heart-warming story of a young man named Ebenezer Sharpclaw... *Ebenezer appears in the stage, sitting in a chair, counting credits with an evil grin.*
NARRATOR 2: An old man tormented by a dark past, with no Christmas Spirit at all. But, will he regain the Spirit in time before saving himself from a terrible fate? We will find out today...
*Stage changes to a small village in a snowy town. Ebenezer walks out of a giant house in a brown cloak with a staff, walking hastily across the streets in anger*
EBENEZER: Bah, humbug! Christmas! What a total waste of time! Who would want to celebrate such a thing? Who made it?!
YOUNG BOY: *Comes prancing across the stage happily until he accidentally collides with Ebenezer* I'm sorry! Merry Christmas!
EBENEZER: Don't say that word in front of me! And watch where you're going, unless you want me to beat you up with my staff! *Chris runs off in haste, scared* Stupid boy! I HATE Christmas! It's only a total waste of time! *walks around the streets, scaring people away* The world is only made of money! Money makes the world work! What about love, they all ask? *sings a song*
Just who cares? Love is a myth,
So it's only fair, that money is your friend,
*Chorus 1* Just who cares? Love is a myth, So it's only fair, that money is your friend,
I don't care, I got the money,
It is my friend, Love is a myth
Love is unfair, It's all useless,
So why have love, When you're happy?
*Chorus 1 repeats*
*Chorus 2* Love is unfair, it's all useless,
So why have love, when you're happy?
Christmas is a lie! It's not worth it!
Money's worth your life, if you stake it on money,
But I don't care, my life is fair,
With all the money, that I have
*Chorus 3* Christmas is a lie, It's not worth it!
Why should we care? It makes no difference!
And I end my song, With a little something,
I want to say, It's not worth it
Ignore Christmas, Why don't you hate it?
And that's why I say,
Damn Christmas!
*Ebenezer walks away from the stage. It changes to Ebenezer's house, where he is counting some money. A knock is heard on the door, he shrugs and opens the door. He smiles upon seeing his associate, Mr. Campbell.*
EBENEZER: Why hello, Mr. Campbell! Please, do come in!
MR. CAMPBELL: *comes in and sits on a chair* Ahh, how are you, my old friend Ebenezer? Oh, how long has it been? Let's see... Oh yes, five years! *Looks around the place, and is a little surprised to see that everything is dusty* What has happened to your place? I do not remember it like this. It used to be so clean...
EBENEZER: Oh yes, excuse me, I have been very busy lately, with all this useless Christmas preparations and all...
MR. CAMPBELL: Christmas? Ah yes! How could I have forgotten? I think it is a nice time to spend, and it can also bne the key to a great business...
EBENEZER: *Jumps at the statement* Business? How?
MR. CAMPBELL: I am sorry, Ebenezer, but it is my secret, and I swore myself to secrecy, so if I told you, I'd be dying. But hey, I will give you a day to learn about it. You will see.
EBENEZER: Promise?
MR. CAMPBELL: Of course. You have my word. *Realizes it's getting late* Well then, I
must go... But I will try and return tomorrow. I will see you, Ebenezer...
EBENEZER: *Shows him to the door* Of course! Feel free to return anytime!
MR. CAMPBELL: Of course, and Merry Christmas to you. *leaves. Ebenezer stares at the man leave. He slams the door in pure anger.*
EBENEZER: Arrrgh! I HATE that word! That fool doesn't understand! Christmas is a total lie!
It's a useless celebration! Useless!
*Scene changes to Ebenezer's bedroom, where he comes in with a bathrobe with no sleeves. He sits on his bed and starts to meditate about Christmas* Hmmm... Great business? On Christmas? What did he mean? Oh well, I will think up a scheme about it in the morning... *Goes to his bed, and falls asleep. The midnight bell sounds, and a fell wind blows through one of his windows. He suddenly wakes up nervously* Agh, it is a col night indeed... *Walks to his window, but falls back on his legs scared* AGH! What are you?
SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS PAST: Ebenezer Sharpclaw... I have come to warn you...
EBENEZER: What are you?! Are you a ghost?
SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS PAST: I am the Ghost Of Christmas Past, and I am here to show you the error of your ways... By reflecting on your life...
EBENEZER: What does my life have to do with this?
SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS PAST: Allow me to show you! *Carries Ebenezer like if by magic, him screaming. He just vanishes with the spirit. Soon, he's in a small party. He looks around and gasps when he sees a younger himself*
EBENEZER: GASP! It is me!
SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS PAST: Of course! This is you when you were just a teenage lad!
You weren't as spooky as now, you were brighter! Happy! Look! *Ebenezer watches as his
younger self asks a young lady to a dance. The lady nods and they dance to the music.*
EBENEZER: Why, it is me... Why am I so happy? I was always betrayed by Holidays...
SPIRIZT OF CHRISTMAS PAST: We must return. Time has run out. *They reappear at Ebenezer's room* Well then, that is all... I must go. *The Spirit vanishes*
EBENEZER: WAIT! ... Bah, humbug! Must've been a nightmare. I ought to go to sleep.
SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT: I don't think so.
EBENEZER: Not another ghost!
SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT: I am the Ghost of Christmas Present, and I am here to show you what is happening because of your actions! *Ebenezer and the spirit are taken to a small house in the village*
EBENEZER: Where am I?
SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT: This is the Landry's house, the ones you always reject, even though they still care for you! Look at them!
EBENEZER: *Looks on to the house*
ANTON: *Places a small plate with food on the table* I know this isn't much, but hey, at least we have food!
SHARON: Yes dear, but must you really work for Ebenezer? He's just a pathetic bum!
EBENEZER: Why that little--
SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT: Quiet. Listen.
ANTON: I know, sweetie, but I have to do it. Otherwise, how am I going to bring food to this table?
LITTLE CHRIS: He's a little stingy, but I have a feeling that he will change on Christmas. I know it.
ANTON: I hope so.
EBENEZER: *Watches in compassion* How can he say that? I despise Christmas now. How?
SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT: It is all in the Christmas Spirit. Let us return to your home now... *They return to Ebenezer's room* There is more to see now... So, I must go... But I warn you... Your next visions willl not be as pleasant as the ones you just saw. Be warned... *The spirit vanishes*
EBENEZER: Warning? What was he saying? I should go to sleep before they all get to me. My mind is made up. *He returns to sleep. But by around four of the morning, he's suddenly awakened and taken into supreme darkness. A shadow appears* AAH! YOU! You're the Spirit of Christmas Future! What are you doing to me? *The shadow takes him to a grave, with two people standing in front of it.* Oh, My goodness! It is Anton! But, what is he doing there? *Stares at the grave, and sees that it has the name, "CHRIS LANDRY" written on it. He gasps* NO! Not their son! He was handicapped! He's the only thing they ever had! *The spirit takes him to another time. Three thieves are holding bags* What?
BARREL: Heh heh Look at all this money!
KYLA: Who could have thought Ebenezer would have had that much money? He was a fool!
RON: Yup! And now, we have it all to ourselves! HAHA! *they all laugh*
EBENEZER: WAS? What are they talking about? *The spirit takes him to a desolate graveyard. He points to a grave. Ebenezer looks at it.* Heh, what could a-- AAH! *Screams when he sees the name "EBENEZER SHARPCLAW" written on it.* Stop! Please! No more pain! STOP!!! *The stage darkens, and Ebenezer appears in his bed, tossing and turning desperately, he suddenly gets up sweating from the pain* STOP! *He looks around, and realizes it was all a dream* What...? So, it was a dream after all. But... NO! I must not let those things happen! I can still be happy! I still can! *He opens the window, and to the shock of the villagers...* MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL! MERRY CHRISTMAS! *Comes down the stairs and out of his house in his usual outfit. A litle boy comes running around the block* Merry Christmas, boy! Here! *Gives him a bag of money*
LITTLE BOY: Wow, thanks! Merry Christmas! *Runs away*
EBENEZER: Yes, little boy, you too!
I have changed! I am new!
Christmas worked, I'm a new man!
It's all thanks to the people, they taught me everything,
So now I can be happy, Because of you!
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
*Stars of the theatrical piece come out, and they bow and greet the public*
EVERYONE: Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
...So it is to this day. Janus refused the credits and now he does the same characterization every year. And so, every year, they remember what Christmas is all about: Not money, or fame, but family and friends.
JANUS: From us to you...
EVERYONE: Merry Christmas!

How Business Outsourcing helps you to grow your Business
Business needs to be handled with proper ideas, strategies, plans, implementation, determining risk factors and solving and many more activities. So you have to divide your time between the core and non-core business functions in a clever way with diligence. Business outsourcing has become one of the most sought after option for a strategic business for both small and large business organization. From the past decade the growing amount of business outsourcing have made it a tried and tested model. This is much popular and widely accepted as a long term strategy for success.
Importance of Business outsourcing
Business outsourcing leads to an inexpensive, strong communication, well organized and goal oriented business. It can easily be described as the strategy to ire services of a third party which will enable them to execute the in-house projects. A study on some companies business outsourcing is done is done for the following reason :-
Limited Operational Costs
You can hire the right resources for your company from the countries like India where the projects are delivered at proper time, lower cost with quality results than hiring resources from UK, US or Australia. This helps to save the cost of company. You further end up saving revenues on operations like Cost of overhead, HR, administration and payroll.
Nullify your investment on Infrastructure
Business outsourcing helps to cut investments on infrastructures as there will be less expenses on infrastructural requisites like IT systems. Work desks, licensed software laptops and desks, internet connections and so on.
Focusing core business functions and the use of new technologies
You don't have to hire any resources for the critical activities of the organization. Outsourcing your projects such as conversions, development or designing your e-Commerce portals, mobile apps or web applications in different platforms and so on, you can concentrate on more important thing like sales.
Moreover you can choose the experts in that field who have professional knowledge of using new technologies. The project will be of higher quality and completed in lesser time at lower cost.
Get your work done during holidays
Most of the employees become unavailable during holidays. By outsourcing any project to any remote company you can avoid this disaster. There will be no seasonal fluctuations of work and your projects will be smoothly completed.

According to police, Zardad son of Khan Mohammad was cutting a pine tree from the nearby forest of the village when his first cousin Baboo Gulzar came and claimed the ownership of the tree, which led to an argument between them.
However, Gulzar reportedly opened fire at Zardad, his son Tahir Parwaz and nephew Khalid with a 12-bore shotgun injuring them seriously.
The injured were being taken to the Rural Health Centre but they died on the way. The accused managed to escape from the scene, the police said.

Fullerton's Bootlegger's Brewery has landed in the Inland Empire.
It's finally moved into the space that, until recently, was Wild Donkey Brewing Company, 2351 W. Lugonia Ave., Suite G, Redlands.
I guess we can keep a secret.
Fullerton's Bootlegger's Brewery has landed in the Inland Empire.
It's finally moved into the space that, until recently, was Wild Donkey Brewing Company, 2351 W. Lugonia Ave., Suite G, Redlands.
I guess we can keep a secret.
The clock is ticking, literally.
Tickets are available for I & I Brewing's — my, how time flies! — fifth anniversary, set for Sunday (January 8).
OK, so Montclair's Dragon's Tale Brewery opened a few months back, quite a bit later than the owners had anticipated.
And the brewery just had its ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this month.
Then it makes perfect sense that the official grand opening party would be delayed as well, right?
It's set for January 7.
Offering a truly unique experience for Inland Empire (and likely Southern California) beer drinkers, Sour Cellars officially opens December 30 in Rancho Cucamonga.
You see, every beer produced by the brewery is a barrel-aged sour, plus the brewery specializes in newly isolated wild yeast strains.
Beer geeks, rejoice!
On Wednesday (December 21), Corona's Skyland Ale Works moved to its new location, a much larger brewery and taproom.
Some tickets are still available for Barons Market's Ho-Ho-Hoppy Holidays backroom beer pairing event, set for 6 to 8 p.m. tonight (December 14).
Rancho Cucamonga's No Clue Craft Brewery is pairing with first responders and police personnel to remember and raise funds for the victims of the Dec. 2 terrorist attack in San Bernardino.
The event will take place from noon to 9 p.m. Saturday (December 3) at the brewery, 9037 Arrow Route, Suite 170.
Covina's recently-opened Barley Lodge Brewing is now Arrow Lodge Brewing.
The explanation of the name change is that it was "due to confusion", and I'm guessing the confusion is with a certain Costa Mesa brewery.
Early name changes, however, are nothing new to Southern California breweries.
If you're interested in obtaining a Hangar 24 Craft Brewery Barrel Roll membership for 2017, now's the time to pull the trigger.
Although Riverside's Packinghouse Brewing Company wasn't around in the '80s, the brewery — which has been around six years — is celebrating its anniversary in '80s fashion on Saturday (November 12).
The brewery is hosting its Totally Awesome '80s Party from 1 to 10 p.m.
The anniversary party will feature the brewery's Hoppy Saison 6th Anniversary beer, as well as small-batch variations of the Saison and Grisette. Like, omigod!

I invite family, friends and a lot of models, like Chrishell Stubbs, Sedene Blake, Jaunel McKenzie — the more the merrier
I grew up in the ghetto in Kingston, Jamaica. There were a lot of us living in a small room (13 on my dad's side and four on my mum's) and we'd just sit around laughing and eating. I learnt to cook from my great grandma and my grandma also. We'd mix up a lot of stuff together and reinvent things for leftovers. There was a lot of ackee and saltfish and the back of the chicken, which is basically just bone, with no leg or breast because we couldn't afford the whole chicken.

Today, Microsoft posted a video of Larry Hyrb unboxing the Xbox One. Below is the video, check it out and then I'll get into what's included.
Alright, that's a pretty big box wouldn't you say? Looks like Xbox One will indeed include a headset despite someone at Microsoft saying it wouldn't. It is a little disappointing to see there is a power brick again, I was under the impression that it was going to be inside the console this time around.
The fact that Xbox One comes with a 4K rated HDMI cable shows that Microsoft isn't the cheapskates everyone accuses them to be. I'm not up to date on all this 4K stuff, but it's supposed to be the next step in HD TVs and computer monitors.
The Kinect 2.0 looks pretty cool, I'm glad it has squared off edges and is a little sleeker. The console itself looks infinitely better than the original 360, yes it's enormous, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The added space and vents helps when it comes to heat and fan noise, it should help the system run cool and stay quiet.
Finally, I want to point out that sweet, sweet controller. Personally, the 360 controller is my favorite controller for any console, and the One controller looks like a huge improvement.
That's a lot of stuff for $500, but does this hardware carry that level of value for you? A lot of the premium features that the Xbox One offers requires you to be online and have an Xbox Live Gold subscription. Compared to PS4's $400 price tag and now that they charge for online gaming, which do you plan to buy or are you waiting to upgrade? Sound off in the comments and let me know.

2007 vw jetta stock radio JumpStart?
So I had to JumpStart my jetta after leaving
the lights on. The battery sparked pretty
good when connecting the cables but it
fired right up and everything works fine
except the radio. No power, no light,
nothing. It seems that the jump killed it. I've
checked every fuse in the car, left the radio
fuse out for awhile and unhooked battery
for 10 min. Still no sign of life in the radio.
I'm about to remove the radio to check for a
fuse in the back. Is that the right move?
Does it have a fuse in the back?
3 Answers
when the radio loses power, it thinks it is being stolen- when your battery went dead, it confused the poor radio- you will need a code to reactivate the radio- there may be more to it, because you were makin' sparks there on the battery- don't do that- the battery can explode-
Thanks. Yes I have the code on my paperwork but there is no power to the radio for me to put it in. It doesn't come on and say "safe" mode or anything? Can anyone confirm that the radio has a second fuse on the back that the jump could have blown?
I mentioned the sparking because I thought it might indicate it could have stressed the fuses or radio. I know they are bad and wasn't trying to. A large v8 jumped me off. So I'm wondering if that stressed my system.

Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases | Year: 2016
Background: Aedes aegypti mosquito is responsible for transmitting human diseases like dengue and chikungunya. Personal or space protection with insect repellents is a practical approach to reducing human mosquito contact, thereby minimizing disease transmission. Essential oils are natural volatile substances from plants used as protective measure against blood-sucking mosquitoes. Methods: Twenty-three essential oils were evaluated for their repellent effect against Ae. aegypti female mosquito in laboratory conditions using Y-tube olfactometer. Results: The essential oils exhibited varying degree of repellency. Litsea oil showed 50.31%, 60.2 %, and 77.26% effective mean repellency at 1 ppm, 10 ppm and 100 ppm respectively, while DEET exhibited 59.63%, 68.63%, 85.48% and DEPA showed 57.97%, 65.43%, and 80.62% repellency at respective above concentrations. Statistical analysis revealed that among the tested essential oils, litsea oil had effective repellency in comparison with DEET and DEPA against Ae. aegypti mosquito at all concentration. Essential oils, DEET and DEPA showed significant repellence against Ae. aegypti (P < 0.05) at all 3 concentration tested. Conclusion: Litsea oil exhibited effective percentage repellency similar to DEET and DEPA. The essential oils are natural plant products that may be useful for developing safer and newer herbal based effective mosquito repellents. Source

Abstract: Nagarmotha (Cyperus scariosus) rhizomes collected from 13 locations in India were characterized for oil content using hydro-distillation method. The distilled oil was subjected for estimation of its chemical composition using GC-MS. The oil yield analysed by using hydro-distillation varied from 0.20% Padampur (Orissa) to 0.58% Tilakgram (M.P.). The Gas chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses of the 13 hydro-distilled oils showed considerable differences in their chemical composition. The major compounds present in essential oil of nagarmotha rhizomes were identified as cyperene, longifolin, caryophylline oxide and longiverbenone. The amount of cyperene varied from 5.77% (Tilakgram M.P.) to 24.17% (Raipur, Chhattisgarh), longifolin varied from 5.95% (Raipur, Chhattisgarh) to 20.43% (Panna, M.P.), caryophyllene oxide ranged from 2.42% (Padampur, Orissa) to 10.38% (Tilakgram M.P.) and longiverbenone ranged from 3.96% (Padampur, Orissa) to 12.71% (Badarpur, Orissa). All the nagarmotha rhizomes and oils were also characterized for their carbon isotope composition using Isotopic Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS). The carbon isotope ratio of the oils varied from -11.15 (Ujjain MP) to –15.78 (Sitapur UP) per mil. Similar values of carbon isotope composition were obtained by estimation directly in the nagarmotha rhizome. © 2016 Har Krishan Bhalla & Sons. Source

Adulteration in aromatic oils with natural isolates and identical synthetic compounds is common practice in flavour and fragrance industry. Blending of synthetic materials is done in such a way that the chemical profile by gas chromatography of product (adulterated) oil remains nearly identical to original one. This practice makes complex issue for detection of adulterants in aromatic oil. In the present study, natural and adulterated essential oils of lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) and palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii) were differentiated and identified on the basis of their carbon isotope composition (13C/12C) using isotopic-ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) technique. This technique differentiates the natural oils (lemongrass and palmarosa oils) with adulterated oils by showing decrease in their carbon isotopic composition as blending of synthetic compounds viz. geraniol, citral, polyethylene glycol (PEG), dioctyl phthalate (DOP) and diethyl phthalate (DEP) of these adulterants with increasing order (5 % to 50 %). © 2015, Har Krishan Bhalla & Sons.

Cyperus scariosus R.Br. (Nagarmotha) is pestiferous perennial, delicate slender sedge found wildly in various parts of the country, especially in damp or marshy areas and collected wildly for extraction of its essential oil using steam distillation. The rhizomes of C. scariosus possess pleasant aromatic odour, the essential oil is used as anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-fungal agent and it is also used as one of the ingredients in several formulations for the Ayurvedic systems of medicine. Phytochemical studies have shown that the major chemical components of this herb are polyphenol, flavonol, glycoside, alkaloid, saponins, sesquiterpenoids and essential oil. Rhizome of the plant is used in fever, arthritis, diuretic, nervine tonic, treatment of diarrhea and dysentery, leprosy, bronchitis, amenorrhea and blood disorders. The fruits of the plant are used as carminative, diuretic tonic and have stomachic. The details of plant and its essential oil, chemical constituents and biological activities have been described in this review. Source

What are the obstacles in the way of effectively solving the environmental crises of our time? What can we do to overcome them? These may be two of the most important questions heading into the 21st century. Organized human societies have the ability to completely change the world. While we have excelled at building, destroying and rebuilding, we have not succeeded at conserving, preserving, and sustaining.Priviledged Goods: Commoditization and Its Impact on Environment and Society suggests that our propensity toward environmental destruction - a tragic flaw of the modern economy - can be understood as a result of hidden economic forces. These forces drive social and economic development towards increasing mobilization of energy and material beyond what is actually needed to achieve general prosperity and meet basic human needs. The author explains the complex concept of commoditization using examples from key sectors of society. Interdisciplinary in scope, Privileged Goods:...

1 POINT OF VIEW ARTICLE BY MAC TEFFT SENIOR CONSULTANT, DDI SELECTION SOLUTIONS POINT OF VIEW HIRING FOR THE WHOLE PERSON HIRING FOR THE WHOLE PERSON: IT S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, BUT IT MATTERS TO YOUR ORGANIZATION In 1959, the year after NASA was established by President Dwight Eisenhower in response to the Soviet Union s launch of Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, the agency began recruiting its first astronauts. Emphasizing flight experience, NASA asked the military services to identify members who met specific qualifications, including a height requirement they could be no more than 5 feet 11 inches tall, as the space capsules they would travel in would be tiny. The seven men selected from a pool of 500 candidates had been subjected to numerous intense physical and psychological screenings (a grueling process captured in the book and film The Right Stuff about the original seven astronauts). Now, more than four decades after Neil Armstrong first stepped on the surface of the moon and on the heels of the end of the space shuttle program, NASA is charged with recruiting and selecting astronauts for the future a future that is no longer about going to the moon but about furthering scientific study, helping staff a permanent international space station, and eventually embarking on a manned mission to Mars. Your organization probably isn t plotting a mission to Mars and you may not need to hire astronauts, but it s all relative. Like NASA, you must recruit, select, and develop the talent you need to achieve your missioncritical goals. To ensure that you do, you need to take a whole-person approach to defining positions, looking beyond the one or two overriding criteria that may appear to be most important for success (e.g., technical experience, familiarity with the organization, the ability to get along with others) to create and assess against a complete picture of what an individual needs in order to succeed in a given role and help the organization achieve its business objectives. In examining how NASA recruits and selects for its most demanding and coveted job, we see some valuable and instructive lessons for any organization looking to acquire the right talent. LOOK FOR MORE THAN AVIATION EXPERIENCE As mentioned above, when NASA initially sought astronauts, it wanted accomplished pilots. But now, as its web site makes clear, the agency seeks individuals with an exceptional combination of qualifications: Creativity. Ambition. Teamwork. A sense of daring. And a probing mind. That s what it takes to join NASA. In other words, NASA considers the total package the whole person. In evaluating astronaut candidates, in addition to looking for those who have the right mix of knowl- 1
2 edge and experience, the agency also must assess for both skills, which are developable, and personality traits (e.g., the sense of daring and probing mind), which are not. Success Profiles which define the ideal candidate in terms of skills, knowledge, behavior, experience, and personal attributes provide the perfect framework for taking a whole-person approach to defining what s needed for success in a job. And while you probably don t need to evaluate candidates as thoroughly as NASA vets potential astronauts, you need to have in place systems, processes, and tools that provide the data needed, relative to the Success Profile, to make accurate and informed talent decisions. HAVE THE RIGHT FLIGHT PLAN In an article on the NASA career web site, Lt. Col. Cady Coleman describes a 16-day space shuttle mission in which she personally interacted with 30 experiments. It is a challenge to work quickly but well. It is like having 30 customers in 16 days. There isn t time for mistakes. You need to go up there and do your best. Imagine trying to write an accurate job description for such a role one that not only captures the tasks but also the stressful environment in which they need to be completed. Even then, the job description, lacking the requirements that an individual needs in order to become an astronaut, wouldn t capture all of the facets that would define the right candidate. Yet, when it comes to defining a target job, one of the most common mistakes is to confuse the job description with the Success Profile. A job description often spells out the tasks and responsibilities that must be performed in the job, perhaps some minimal qualifications but little else. And while still valuable as a realistic job preview to help potential applicants determine whether or not the job will be right for them, the job description has little value as a tool for determining what the ideal candidate will look like. That is the function of the Success Profile. When organizations rely solely on a job description to guide their recruitment and selection activities, they hamstring their efforts because they have defined only what the new hire will do in the job, not what will make the candidate the right fit or how he or she will be successful meeting the objectives. This is a critically important distinction as there will be many individuals who will be able to fulfill the job duties and responsibilities, but that ability does not always equate to the motivation to do the job, an ability to adapt to the organizational culture, or the likelihood to be engaged in the work or remain in the job for the long haul all factors that are addressed by the creation of a Success Profile. Simply put, job descriptions tend to focus on the what s, and ignore the how s. AS THE FUTURE BECKONS, YOUR HIRING CRITERIA NEED TO CHANGE Re-evaluating what s required to be a successful astronaut isn t new to NASA. By 1964, just five years after the first seven astronauts were chosen, NASA had already acknowledged that future astronauts needed to do more than simply control a spacecraft. Hotshot pilots with the right stuff gave way to accomplished aviators who also possessed superior academic qualifications. Applicants were required to have an advanced degree or an equivalent level of experience in a field such as engineering, natural sciences, or medicine. Alan Shepard, 2
3 one of the original seven astronauts and, in 1961, the first American to travel into space, possessed only a bachelor s degree. Neil Armstrong, meanwhile, the commander of the 1969 Apollo 11 mission and the first man to set foot on the moon, had a master s degree in aerospace engineering. While the job astronaut still was called the same thing, the requirements for the job had evolved. Multiple factors are making it imperative that organizations take a fresh look at the criteria they are using to hire and promote people. Many of these factors are probably already on your radar screen: increased complexity within roles, greater demands on employees, the impact an improving economy and employee retirements are likely to have on turnover, the challenges associated with a multigenerational workforce, etc. Others may not be so obvious, like the sometimes subtle ways the nature of jobs change over time. For instance, a decade ago a leader may have been charged with directing the activities of a homogeneous group of professionals or team members. Now, that same job may require the leader to navigate a complex, matrixed organizational structure while leading a team of diverse professionals with dotted line reporting relationships in which some members work virtually and may even be located in other parts of the world. If the success profile for that role hasn t been updated, it is very likely outdated and at least partially inaccurate. And if the picture isn t accurate, how can your talent decisions (hiring, promotions, etc.) have the impact your business leaders demand? This need for continually refreshing a Success Profile is driven home by a recent analysis we did of data we have amassed in our work with clients going back more than three decades. We identified the most common competencies that our clients were looking for when hiring for frontline leader positions. While, not surprisingly, Decision Making has remained the undisputed most common competency (after all, leadership success is driven by the ability to make good decisions) and Communication has also remained near the top of the list, the popularity of others has surged or ebbed. Coaching, for instance, didn t crack the top 10 in the 1980s or the top 5 in the 1990s, but it has been a top-three competency ever since. So, what happened in the 90 s that precipitated this rise in the importance of coaching skills? For many, it was the realization that modern, high-involvement, teambased organizations would require supervisors to play more the role of a mentor and facilitator than simply that of a high-level technical expert or advisor to the day-to-day aspects of their direct reports jobs. There s no overstating the point: Roles are constantly evolving, and at least every few years you need to take a fresh look at your critical positions, and ask those leading the organization to articulate how expectations and demands are changing. Furthermore, there is great value in asking individuals in those roles, How has your job changed? And what skills and motivations are going to be required to meet these changing expectations? ENSURING MISSION SUCCESS The biggest challenge about being involved in the space program is the need to be able to be good at and know a lot about a lot of things, says astronaut Coleman. But avoiding many of the common mistakes we see when it comes to taking a whole-person approach to talent shouldn t be nearly so challenging. Here are some pointers: 3
4 Stay ahead of the business. Success Profiles need to be current in order to reflect changes in the business and in individual job requirements. But strategic talent acquisition is all about being forward-looking, taking into account where the organization is heading, not just where it is now. As you conduct job analyses, consider what the job is likely to become in the future and construct the Success Profile accordingly. Sometimes you can do this by learning from previous shifts in jobs or roles and seeking benchmark data accordingly. Other times it may involve the realization that the organization needs people to do their jobs differently than they have done them in the past. Either way, you must remain open to the possibility that jobs are likely to require a shifting set of skills and priorities for success in the future. Don t overemphasize competencies. One of the most common mistakes we see is that organizations will limit their job profiles to just the competencies required for the job. While competencies are certainly important, the problem with this approach is that it underestimates the importance of personal attributes (or stable, undevelopable traits), which are often the most important determinant in whether or not an individual succeeds or fails in a job. We all know of people who are highly skilled but have a difficult time adjusting to change or learning new tasks. Similarly, a detail-oriented person may excel as a team member but be ineffective as a leader because he has trouble letting go of the responsibilities better suited to the rest of the team. What s more, these personal attributes, including those that drive job motivation, will inevitably impact whether he or she is likely to remain in the job long term the ideal, given the replacement costs incurred with turnover. Look at the family not the job. Given the breadth of roles that exist in most organizations, creating Success Profiles for each and every position is unrealistic. Instead, create profiles at the job family level, taking advantage of the like competencies, skill requirements, and other factors that figure into the definitions of multiple jobs that can be grouped based on similarities in job scope and responsibility... not necessarily function. For example, consider a manufacturing facility where people with specialized roles (welders, assembly technicians, quality control) are needed on the production floor, but all must have strong interpersonal and problem-solving skills and a proclivity for teamwork in order to be effective. A singular core Success Profile could cover the majority of requirements for all of these positions. Identify core competencies and personal traits or motivations for the family as a whole and reserve the detailed analysis at the function or job level for where technical knowledge and experiences may differ drastically. This saves time not only during the development of the Success Profiles, but also during the maintenance phases when your focus is on ensuring continued alignment for future needs. Understand how the elements within Success Profiles interact. In building and applying a Success Profile, it s important to keep in mind that relationships exist between the individual components that can potentially cloud your talent decisions. For example, when looking to fill those positions vacated by retirees, there may be generational differences that might skew the organization s best efforts to accurately evaluate a candidate s true fit with a position. We found in looking at some selection-tool validation studies we have conducted across 4
5 CONTACT INFORMATION WORLD HEADQUARTERS a broad range of manufacturing leadership jobs that both younger and older workers were viewed similarly in terms of overall job performance, and the groups scored similarly in areas such as quality of work, and punctuality. However, there were some generational differences in the competency ratings uncovered for Safety Orientation (older workers score higher on average) and Adaptability (younger workers score higher on average). Therefore, if positions are expected to become open due to retirements, it s important to fully identify the skills that are required, not just the experience, before beginning your staffing process. When attempting to identify your Success Profiles, be sure to gather input from a cross-section of your experts to avoid a skewed view of what success may look like. In our example of the selection tool validation research, focusing solely on experience instead of requirements related to Safety Orientation and Adaptability, which are also critical to success in many types of jobs, could lead to unanticipated skill gaps in your workforce. BLAST OFF! While the space program and the type of individuals NASA needs to become astronauts has changed over the last 50-plus years, the agency s focus on the future when seeking astronauts has remained constant. How future-focused are your efforts to identify the talent your organization needs not just for today, but for tomorrow? We can help you identify the talent you need for the future, even if you aren t looking to shoot for the moon (or Mars).
