Find and keep employees with a 'snug' fit
Jane Sunley's new book, "It's Never OK to Kiss the Interviewer," was prompted by an audience member's naïve question.
While the book (LID Publishing, January 2014) is aimed at job applicants, it holds truths for employers, too: Figure out if the candidate's values are in line with the company's; make sure the applicant's skills, attitude and work style are a good fit for the job; and find ways to make the new hire's transition into the organization relatively seamless.
Sunley is founder of Purple Cubed, a London-based company that helps employers attract, engage and retain workers.
Question of values
The author moves beyond these human resource management adages, giving concrete, down-to-earth specifics. For instance, although most reputable companies have "values" statements, they mean zilch, Sunley said in an interview, if companies "stick them on a wall and expect everyone to" adhere.
"This is where people go wrong," she said, adding that it's a mistake for managers to adopt a value and then "assume everyone knows what it means. It's not just about trite words like 'integrity' and 'honesty' and blah, blah, blah … it's about what those words mean to the person."
So if a company values "customer service," then it must define what that means in everyday practice -- and ask a job candidate to state her own definition.
"It might look different to different people," Sunley noted. "Everyone's going to say things like, 'The customer is always right,' and 'Make sure the customer is happy.' But I'd say, 'What about when the customer is wrong? What did you do? Because the customer isn't always right, is he?' Did [the applicant] tell the customer he was wrong in the right way? What was the outcome?"
A snug fit
As for ensuring the candidate and the job are well matched, Sunley suggested having the applicant address hypothetical scenarios, which can reveal how she handles stress or difficult people.
"I might say, 'The computer breaks today and you have a deadline, so what do you do?' Some people say, 'I'd pop down the road to a friend's and use their PC.' Another would be dumbfounded. You're looking for practical examples of what they've done. You're looking for a level of common sense, for potential. Does this person know how to deal with setbacks?"
Ask about the last time the applicant worked on a team: What role did the person play? What were the personality dynamics? What were the challenges? What was accomplished?
Sunley is also a big proponent of personality tests. The last time she regretted hiring someone was when the applicant's personality assessment revealed she could be a maverick, but the candidate convinced Sunley in her interview that she could comply with workplace rules.
"The few times I've ignored the results because I really liked the person, it's always gone wrong," she said. "We look for compliance not because we want pushovers but because we want people to live our values. [The applicant] managed to convince us that she would toe the company line. She was great for six weeks, and then she went absolutely nuts -- we'd agree on a course of action with her and she'd do completely the opposite, or she'd be moaning and groaning about why we had to do things this way or that way, which was hard because in a small business, one person can cause quite a tornado."
Tests aren't a "deciding factor, but it's very, very interesting how accurate some of these tests are," Sunley observed. "You'd think people would all say they're goal-focused, but it's interesting how the test can reveal those who aren't goal-focused at all."
Monitor the culture
Sometimes, ensuring a good fit between the worker and the job has more to do with the employer than the employee.
In her book, Sunley tells the story of "Craig," a partner at a large London law firm who complained constantly because his massive workload meant he rarely saw his family, "holidays were cut short, weekends often consisted of working in the study," she wrote. "He was bored, exhausted, unfulfilled and stressed out."
"If someone's moaning and groaning about his job, shouldn't somebody be doing something about that?" Sunley asked in a phone interview, adding that the misery that Craig experienced tends to be widespread at London's law firms.
"Employers sometimes complain about the way their employees behave, but I have to tell you that when we question the employer, the conclusion is usually that this has to do with the way they treat their people," Sunley wrote in her bio.
She said the changes that London's hospitality industry made to working conditions, about a decade ago, illustrate how employers -- even in the most demanding of professions -- can transform a miserable environment and keep good people.
"London's restaurants and hotels used to do all these split shifts, with three hours between shifts, which meant people couldn't do much, like go home, in those three hours, so they ended up staying for 14 hours," she explained. Moreover, restaurant and hotel kitchens were once notorious for profanity and violence. The result was working conditions "that were pretty awful."
But after notable chefs took a stand against vulgarity and aggression in their kitchens -- and several organizations banned split shifts -- conditions became far more tolerable, and workers became happier.
"Generation Y isn't going to put up with what Boomers put up with," she said. "Employers know that if they want the best talent, they need to make the conditions good. If you can take an inherently stressful industry like hospitality, where it's about working nights and weekends and long hours, and start being nice to people, you can completely change things. Why can't a law firm do that, as opposed to everyone saying, 'Well, this is the culture and that's the way it is'?"
Hit the ground running
Part of ensuring a healthy worker-job fit comes after the hiring, Sunley said. Rather than wait for the employee to step into the office, let him get a feel for his new job weeks or even months before his start date.
"The employer can give the new employee little tasks -- research the competition, research the company website, look up clients -- and [new hires] actually like to do that. I'd give them some kind of project. Say, 'We've got a new product launching next month; what ideas do you have around that?' There will always be in every business someone who needs extra help. So ask around to see who can use help with legwork or groundwork."
Including yet-to-start employees on company communications is also helpful.
"There are all sorts of things you can do -- sending out an organizational chart, to see where people fit; getting colleagues to write and welcome them and offer to answer questions; giving them access to the intranet or the company newsletter."

NATO condemns Syria attack on Turkey
Wednesday, October 03, 2012
The NATO Council condemned the Syrian attack on Turkey's south-eastern town of Akcakale in which 5 Turkish citizens were killed and 9 others wounded when artillery shells landed on the town.
In a statement released following an extraordinary meeting of the NATO Council at the level of ambassadors, NATO said that "as stated on 26 June 20l2, the Alliance continues to closely follow the situation in Syria. In view of the Syrian regime's recent aggressive acts at NATO's southeastern border, which are a flagrant breach of international law and a clear and present danger to the security of one of its Allies, the North Atlantic Council met today, within the framework of Article 4 of the Washington Treaty, and discussed the continuous shelling of locations in Turkey adjacent to the Turkish-Syrian border by the Syrian regime forces."
"The most recent shelling on 3 October 20l2, which caused the death of five Turkish citizens and injured many, constitutes a cause of greatest concern for, and is strongly condemned by, all Allies," the NATO statement said.
"In the spirit of indivisibility of security and solidarity deriving from the Washington Treaty, the Alliance continues to stand by Turkey and demands the immediate cessation of such aggressive acts against an Ally, and urges the Syrian regime to put an end to flagrant violations of international law," the NATO statement also said.

+ Sheriff's Office gets full reaccreditation
Sheriff W. Brad Steube reported Nov. 21 that the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies unanimously voted to give the Manatee County Sheriff's Office full reaccreditation.
The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies votes on reaccreditations every three years.
MCSO was required to comply with 464 standards in order to achieve the designation. A team of assessors reviewed MCSO's policies and procedures, management, operations and support services.
MCSO has been nationally accredited since 1990.
+ 12th Circuit names judge candidates
The 12th Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission nominated three candidates for its Manatee County judge vacancy, including one from Lakewood Ranch.
According to a press release, Erika Quartermaine, of Lakewood Ranch, was one of three names given to Gov. Rick Scott for consideration in filling the opening.
The other candidates are Charles P. Sniffen and Stephen Mathew Whyte.
Quartermaine is a prosecutor with the State Attorney's Office in Sarasota County.
The new judge will be sworn in March 1 and will replace retiring Judge George Brown.
+ Residents ask county to postpone land purchase
Tallevast residents asked the Manatee County Commission to postpone an agenda item for its Nov. 27 meeting regarding land purchase in the community.
In an email, members of Tallevast's Family Oriented Community United Strong group requested that purchase of the land for a county transit depot be rescheduled.
Tallevast residents are suing Lockheed Martin for personal endangerment issues after the Maryland-based advanced technology company discovered a hazardous leak at its beryllium plant property at 1600 Tallevast Road but did not inform residents.
Lockheed Martin is in the process of building a water-treatment facility to clean toxins from the community's groundwater. The project is expected to be completed next year.

Cold and flu season is here. Dr. Frank Lipman, founder of the Eleven Elven Wellness Center, shared 10 tips with the Huffington Post to naturally boost your immunity and keep those germs at bay.
10. Ditch The Antibacterial Soap
Lipman says antibacterial soaps are loaded with toxins and may create resistant bacteria. They also over-dry and crack the skin, making transmission of viruses that much easier.
9. Chill Out
Do breathing exercises, yoga or just things you enjoy to help boost immunity, relieve tension and enhance physical and mental resilience.
8. Break A Sweat
Adequate exercise helps keep your immune system healthy and robust, so keep moving throughout the winter.
7. Don't Skimp On Sleep
Get plenty of sleep to allow your body to restore and repair itself while at rest. Shoot for at least seven hours a night and try taking a 20-minute catnap if you're falling short.
6. Garlic
Not only does garlic repel vampires, Lipman says it also has antiviral properties and is a known immunity booster.
5. Eat Your Greens
Colorful salads and dark greens are loaded with flu-fighting phytonutrients, so eat up.
4. Lay Off The Junk Food
Lipman says sugar dramatically decreases immune function, and virtually all of the nutrients in processed foods get processed right out so they do nothing to strengthen immunity.
3. Antiviral Herb Supplements
Four great antiviral supplements are andrographis, olive leaf extract, grapefruit seed extract and elderberry extract. Use one or several in combination as a preventative measure.
2. Daily Probiotic
A recent study confirmed that probiotics could help fight off colds. Look for a probiotic with 10-20 billion organisms and take one every day.
1. Vitamin D
Adequate levels of Vitamin D are essential for the immune system to function the way it ought to. Lipman recommends taking a Vitamin D3 supplement daily.

The holiday season is upon us and while that usually means a lot of food, fun, friends and family, it can also pose some safety concerns for pets. Here are some tips to keep our four-legged family members safe and felling good!
Little bits of food here and there can sure add up and sometimes our furry friends don't know when they've had to much, which can make them sick. Despite how much they beg and give sad faces, it is best to keep them on their regular diets.
Plan on throwing a holiday party for all your friends and family this holiday season? Be sure pets have a quiet, secure place to escape to if the excitement of it all gets to be too much.
To make their dinner a bit more fun and keep them from begging at the table, put your dog's normal food inside of a Kong toy, with just a few small pieces of turkey, vegetables and gravy added. Your dog will be too busy enjoying their dinner to bother you while you're having yours.
Dogs love bones but turkey bones are a big no no, along with turkey skin. Stick to giving your pets small amounts of boneless turkey.
It's a no-brainer that we shouldn't give our pets alcohol, but sometimes fruitcakes and other recipes contain alcohol as well and those should be kept out of the reach of any animals.
Many people travel during the holiday season, which can mean several different scenarios for pets...
Whether you're taking your pet with you or leaving them behind, having a properly fitting collar is important to make sure they don't slip out of it and get away.
Having an ID tag with current information is super important. That way, even if your pet is lost, there will be a better chance they are safely returned.
If you plan on leaving your cat or dog with a pet sitter, be sure that he or she has solid references and is someone you feel you can trust.
If boarding your pet is the best option, check out the kennel beforehand, both online and in person. This will ensure that everyone has fun during the holidays.
Bread dough can cause intestinal obstruction, bloating and vomiting and should not be given to pets.
Don't feed your pet anything containing sage or other spices. Many spices can cause upset stomach and problems in the nervous system.
Chocolate is poisonous to dogs and should be kept well out of reach.
Raisins and grapes are toxic to dogs and can cause kidney failure.
Onions and garlic, cooked or raw, are toxic to dogs and can cause death.
Cake contains eggs, which could contain salmonella and that could be deadly to pets.
Nutmeg can cause seizures in pets and should be kept out of reach.
Follow these safety tips and you and your favorite furry friends are sure to have a fantastic holiday season!

Just last month, at the beginning
of October, around 50 German students at Gillete Road Middle School got the
opportunity for some authentic German cooking and eating! Herr (pronounced
"hair", meaning Mr.) Gerardi and Mrs. Hobbs collaborated to set the stage for
students to cook authentic German Käsespätzle
(homemade egg noodles with cheese), Petersilienkartoffeln (boiled potatoes with fresh parsley and butter),
as well as Knackwurst
(a short, plump sausage originating
from the Holstein region in Germany) . The Knackwurst was procured from Aldi's and
their Oktoberfest sale, and in keeping with the German and Austrian cultural
values of buying locally, the potatoes and parsley were from the Syracuse
Regional Farmer's Market.
Here, (right-to-left) Breanna Tucker, Joshua Wilk, Jordan Hudson ,Ann
Joseph and Jacob Parker learn the traditional method of making the Spaetzle
noodle, by pushing the dough off the end
of a spoon into boiling water.

Restaurant Week in New York City is getting stranger and stranger. First off, it lasted for 2 weeks before ending its run last Sunday. When it started, the prix fixe made infinite good sense. In the 1999, lunch cost $19.99. In 2007, it was $20.07. Something odd happened this year because despite its being 2010, Restaurant Week's prix fixe at lunch is now $24.07. But it's always represented an opportunity to go somewhere new and try something different which is what a group of us decided to do last Friday when we met at Resto, 111 East 29th St. between Park and Lex (212-685-5585) http://www.restonyc.com/

The BIG List: 50 Albums Every 20 Something Should Own
Aaliyah, Aaliyah [2001]
Aaliyah's self-titled electro R&B opus—the last before her untimely passing—showed a more matured and defiant baby girl, at her best artistically. With exquisitely nuanced vocals, the understated chanteuse tackled commitment, regrets and retribution, with a mild dose of sass—a woman at a crossroads ready to take the next big step? That should sound familiar.

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Lorenzo Cain knocked in a pair of runs and provided the go-ahead RBI single in a five-run sixth inning, as the Kansas City Royals rallied for a 9-8 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Kauffman Stadium.
Jeff Francoeur capped the big inning with a two-run single and Alex Gordon, Billy Butler and Mike Moustakas each plated a run in Kansas City's second straight win in this three-game set.
Elliot Johnson added a solo homer and Bruce Chen (2-0) picked up the win with two shutout innings of relief. Greg Holland notched his seventh save with a perfect ninth inning.
Tampa Bay couldn't hold onto an early five-run lead, receiving a shaky effort out of starter Jeremy Hellickson before Jake McGee (0-2) was tagged for all five runs during Kansas City's big sixth inning.
Luke Scott went 3-for-3 with a solo homer, two RBI and two runs scored, Matt Joyce homered for the second straight day, James Loney drove in a pair and Evan Longoria fell a home run short of the cycle, going 3-for-5 with two runs scored.
"We pitched well in the first week or two, we didn't hit. Now we're hitting well and we can't seem to hold the lead," said Joyce.
Kansas City trailed 6-1 after Scott's homer to start the fourth, but Gordon contributed an RBI single in the bottom half and the Royals cut their deficit to two in the fifth before breaking through with a five-run sixth inning.
Butler doubled to begin the fifth and scored two batters later on Cain's triple. Moustakas' sac fly then brought the Royals within 6-4 and they would bat around in the sixth to take the lead.
"We just stayed within ourselves and kept pecking away," said Butler.
McGee replaced Hellickson on the hill to start the frame and quickly loaded the bases by giving up three singles. Kansas City received an RBI groundout from Butler and then tied the game on Eric Hosmer's hit past shortstop Yunel Escobar.
Cain then lifted a soft fly ball into left to put the Royals in front, 7-6, and McGee's walk to Moustakas loaded the bases and ended his night. Kyle Farnsworth took the mound and Francoeur ripped a base hit up the middle to plate a pair and give Kansas City a three-run cushion.
Tampa Bay didn't go quietly, pushing two runs across in the seventh on RBI singles from Loney and Scott off Royals reliever Tim Collins, but ultimately would fall short. Aaron Crow took the mound after Scott's hit and got Jose Lobaton to ground out with a runner on second to end the inning.
The Rays failed to get a runner on base the final two innings.
Joyce and Ben Zobrist hit back-to-back solo homers in the first and the Rays tacked on two more in the second, with Kelly Johnson contributing an RBI double and Desmond Jennings adding a sacrifice fly for a 4-0 lead.
In the third, Longoria's hit into left got past a diving Gordon and went for a triple. Loney followed and lined a single to center to make it 5-0 Rays, but the Royals countered in the bottom half of the frame on Elliot Johnson's leadoff homer.
Kansas City hasn't scored a run in the first inning over its last eight games
... Hellickson gave up four runs on nine hits over five innings of work ...
Kansas City starter Luis Mendoza was tagged for six runs on seven hits over
four innings ... Tampa Bay was 4-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

Conflict Of Interest? Councilmember Registered As Company Lobbyist

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Only CBS13 has learned a Sacramento councilmember registered as a paid lobbyist for a nationwide corporation, after voting in favor of a local contract.
It may look bad, but it's legal.
The message is sparklingly clear on giant new city of Sacramento digital billboards. What's become cloudy is the politics that got them there.
CBS13 has learned that within weeks of the council's unanimous vote to approve its contract with Clear Channel, Councilmember Rob Fong became a paid Clear Channel lobbyist.
The vote was May 11, 2010; Fong registered July 1, 2010, as a lobbyist with the secretary of state.
It's a timeframe proving questionable to government watchdog Common Cause.
"To the general public, I think it would have the appearance of wrongdoing. But, in this case, you'd have to look into the correspondence. When did that correspondence and negotiation take place? When did it begin? We know sometimes it takes months to develop a lobbying contract," said Phillip Ung, policy advocate with Common Cause.
Fong refused an on camera interview for this story, but told CBS13's Steve Large off camera that he has done nothing wrong.
Public documents show, while continuing to serve on the city council, Fong has earned in excess of $100,000 a year as a lobbyist, and that he has made at least $10,000 a year from his work for Clear Channel.
A review by the city attorney's office and Fair Political Practices Commission revealed no violations by Fong.
Fong has recused himself from council discussions on Clear Channel since becoming their lobbyist, and has announced he will not seek re-election.
Sacramento's conflict of interest code states no full-time employee can have another job funded in any way from a city contract, but councilmembers are part-time employees.

A New Deal Hero
July 01, 1985
Harold Ickes of the New Deal by Graham White and John Maze (Harvard University Press, 263 pp., $20) The title of this book gives the reader hope that the authors will open a window on the idealism, the accomplishments, and the significance of the people who made up the Roosevelt administration. But that hope quickly dims. The book presents only a minuscule part of the story of the New Deal that transformed the stark capitalism of the 1920s into the welfare state of the 1930s.

Secrecy and Democracy: The CIA in Transition by Stansfield Turner (Houghton Mifein, 304 pp., $16.95) "Arrogant, insensitive, absurd ideas … [he] has ruined the place. …" That was the common run of rightward Washington comment on Stansfield Turner as director of Central Intelligence by the end of 1977, his first year in office. By then Jimmy Carter no longer maintained his deceptive pretension to bi-Pauline balance.

The IDG team's redesign is inspired by the restaurant's motto of "tradition with a twist." A softer color palette of cream and magenta floral fabrics and wall coverings with a cherry blossom motif and warm wood accents give the space a more modern, elegant feel. IDG expanded the hostess and bar areas, added booth and banquette seating for greater comfort, installed luxury vinyl flooring and custom lighting throughout the restaurant.
"We worked with IDG on our airport location years ago, so we knew we were in good hands," Flo's owner Dustin Wallace said. "They are very creative, and they also understand the restaurant business and how to execute their ideas so that they serve both form and function."
In addition to the redesign of the approximately 4800 square foot interior, IDG remerchandised products and displays surrounding the bar area to better showcase Flo's cocktail offerings.
From initial concept sketches to completion, the project took less than six months, wrapping up just before the holidays. Actual construction was done in approximately five days, much of it taking place at night after the restaurant closed.
"It was extremely valuable, as small business owners, that we were able to remain open during our remodel," Wallace said. "Ideation Design Group strategically planned every step of the process, and crews worked a lot of late nights to keep disruption to a minimum."
2014 marks the 10-year anniversary for Ideation Design Group. IDG is located at 5013 E. Washington St., Suite 270. To learn more about IDG's projects and services visit ideationdg.com or call (602) 792-1781.
About Ideation Design Group

The Phoenix-based firm recently completed the high-profile remodel of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport's Terminal Four, which features traveler-friendly renditions of local favorites like Cowboy Ciao, Chelsea's Kitchen and Barrio Café.

Venezuela's participation in Brazilian refinery may be paid with oil
Brazilian daily newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo said the proposal made by Venezuelan state-owned oil company Pdvsa aims at delivering Brazil some 70,000 oil barrels per day for its participation in Abreu e Lima refinery, which commissioning is scheduled for late 2014
The partnership between the two oil companies was agreed in 2005 by then President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. Under the agreement, Pdvsa's financial contribution would amount to 40% of the cost, which is currently estimated at USD 17.1 billion, compared to USD 2.3 billion estimated back in 2005.
To date, the construction works of the refinery have been afforded by Petrobras only, which, according to Folha de Sao Paulo, has already invested more than half of the money needed to complete the project, DPA reported.
Based on information from Folha de Sao Paulo, Venezuela has offered to deliver Brazil some 70,000 barrels of oil per day so as to pay for its participation in the plant, which commissioning is scheduled by late 2014.
Notwithstanding, the proposal faces some hurdles within Petrobras, as the firm prefers money in cash, but the final decision is the hands of the Brazilian president as well.
Gagging Twitter users
Pablo Jiménez Guaricuco was summarily dismissed from his Clerk III job at the Autonomous Service of Public Registries and Notaries' Offices (Saren). He read a notice published in a newspaper on November 5 informing the public that he was no longer employed to the Saren. He was sacked despite the fact that he was taking a leave of absence from work due to a work-related accident, and that he enjoyed security of employment under the parental job-immunity privilege. Most probably, the decision was influenced by his role as a union organizer. But what did he do, besides leading protests, to deserve the sack? Well, he allegedly sent off a series of tweets that definitely hurt the sensitivity of the Saren Directorate.

The story of Jackie Robinson West is a reminder that a systemic problem in any of Chicago's neighborhoods — violence, poverty, failing schools or homelessness — is a problem in our own.

I purchased these 4 handsome looking mugs for a grown son of mine to celebrate his birthday. They are well made, easy to hold and of a hefty weight. The design is attractive, simple and colorful. The art design is meticulously performed.
I have been collecting all the pieces in this set and love the pattern. Each piece is hand made and the artists are very good craftsman. The profits are returned to the workers so I have a beautiful set every day table ware and the workers benefit from my purchase.

Linkin Park vs. Halloween ThemeFriday, June 14th, 2013
Michael Myers is generally not in a very good mood. He has a lot of issues. When I played him Linkin Park's 2007 track "What I've Done" he got really angry so I told him I would post it on my site. He's doing better now but I wouldn't talk to him for a while if I were you. [mini_player audio="/music/link_park-what-ive-done.mp3" artist="Linkin Park" track="What I've Done" year="2007"] [mini_player audio="/music/halloween-theme.mp3" artist="John Carpenter" track="Halloween Theme" year="1978"]

Fit Travel: 10 Best Coastal Hikes in the United States
Kalalau Trail, Kauai, Hawaii
The Kalalau Trail is the really the only access point to Kauai, Hawaii's rugged north shore. The full trail runs for 11 miles and takes a challenging full day to complete, one-way. For fit backpackers, it's a rollercoaster-trail dream come true because it climbs along cliff edge, dips down through lush tropical forest, and bottoms out at sea level at both Hanakapi'ai and Kalalau Beaches. Most day hikers only hike the first two miles from the trailhead at Ke'e Beach to Hanakapiai Beach, but the views becoming increasingly better if you push on. You'll trek through the trail's five major valleys until you finish at Kalalau Beach. You can pitch a tent here and camp before heading back. If you want to hike a bit slower, you can break the 11 miles up by camping at the six-mile mark at Hanakoa Valley (the only other place to legally camp on the trail.)
