Quality-of-hire metrics are becoming more mainstream as companies recognize their competitive advantage. Quality-of-hire translates directly to better business performance, as high-performing employees generate substantially more revenue than low performers. Financial models demonstrate that even small improvements in new-hire quality deliver significant returns that outweigh other initiatives. Measuring quality-of-hire requires collaboration across departments over long periods, but the potential rewards of increased revenue and competitive differentiation make the effort worthwhile.

The document summarizes an experiment measuring pressure in goat eyes using an applanation tonometer. The experiment found that increasing vitreous pressure in the eye did not consistently increase or could decrease anterior chamber pressure, but increasing anterior chamber pressure did raise vitreous pressure. The conclusions were that anterior chamber pressure measurements do not correlate with vitreous pressure, vitreous pressure may be high even when anterior chamber pressure is normal, and glaucoma damage is caused by high vitreous pressure rather than anterior chamber pressure.

Working Compassionately with Legacy Code, RubyConf 2015Amar Shah
Your code is your partner. It struggles against you, but also alongside you. Your code comes to you as it is, not as you wish it were. Like a real-life partner, it has a history that you’ll never fully know; like a real-life child, it bears your imprint, but it is wild, unruly, and fiercely self-sovereign. You’ll never stop working with code that’s hard to figure out or difficult to change. But this code, this stubborn creature, is entrusted to you. Let go of your anger at the developer who wrote it. Let go of the terror of being blamed for its unforeseeable regressions. Let go--and find joy.
2014 NJP - Oscillatory solitons and time-resolved phase locking of two polari...Guilherme Tosi
This document summarizes time-resolved measurements of two polariton condensates formed in a semiconductor microcavity under nonresonant excitation. The measurements directly observe oscillatory behavior as dark or bright soliton-like waves form between the excitation spots. They also observe phase locking of the two initially independent condensates over time. These phenomena provide insights into the underlying dynamics of polariton-polariton interactions and propagation of polariton condensates.
Working Effectively with Legacy Code: Lessons in PracticeAmar Shah
Code rots. Even the best designs can fall into chaos, weighed down by changing requirements, hard-coded dependencies, and overzealous cut-and-paste. Eventually, the mess has to be cleaned up, but there's just one problem: There are no tests. No one knows exactly what the code is supposed to do. You will think you're fixing it, but instead you'll break it--and you won't even know.
A few months ago, I inherited just such a mess. In this talk, I'll explore Michael Feathers' classic Working Effectively with Legacy Code, a comprehensive and accessible guide to refactoring the even the ugliest, most neglected code bases. Using real examples, I'll explain how Feathers' techniques are working for me.
The document summarizes research on generating and observing stable vortex lattices in polariton condensates in semiconductor microcavities. Researchers pumped three spots in a triangular geometry and observed the formation of a honeycomb lattice containing up to 100 vortices and antivortices extending over tens of microns. Numerical simulations matched the experimental observations and showed the lattice forms due to ferromagnetic coupling between the condensates at each pumped spot, with the phase locked by the imposed triangular geometry. The vortex lattice was stable for many minutes and highly sensitive to the optically imposed geometry.
The document discusses corneal dystrophies, which are a group of inherited corneal diseases that are usually bilateral, symmetric, and slowly progressive. They are not related to environmental or systemic factors. The document provides details on several specific types of corneal dystrophies, including granular dystrophy type 1, granular dystrophy type 2, Reis-Bücklers dystrophy type 1, and macular corneal dystrophy. For each, it describes aspects such as name, age of onset, genetics, clinical features and diagnosis, histology, and recurrence after treatment.
2012 NPhysics - Sculpting oscillators with light within a nonlinear quantum f...Guilherme Tosi
This document summarizes research on sculpting oscillating quantum fluids of light within a nonlinear polariton condensate. Key points:
1) The researchers were able to directly image stable quantum oscillator wavefunctions of polariton condensates in real space using a simple optical microscope.
2) By injecting polaritons at two spatially separated points, an effective potential was created that trapped the polaritons into quantized energy levels resembling a simple harmonic oscillator.
3) Varying the pump properties in real time allowed controlling the shape and energy levels of the potential, demonstrating potential for integrated polariton-based quantum devices.
Haskell is a general-purpose, purely functional programming language with non-strict semantics and strong static typing. It allows programmers to define their own types and write concise, modular code due to its laziness and rich type system. Learning Haskell can transform how developers think about programming by teaching advanced functional concepts not found in other common languages.

“I have known and worked with Stephen Karel for quite some time now (over 10 yrs.). I have found, not only has he provided valuable services when needed, but he also has maintained a professional relationship. With past positions, I've found Stephen to thoroughly screen candidates and present only the most qualified that fit our needs. I would not hesitate to contact Karel&Company for top-level recruitment expertise.”
“Great Results, he is personable and expert”
Karen Ciechanowski Dir. of Talent Resources AECOM.
“In my 15+ years as an HR professional I have had occasion to work with many executive recruiters. I have always been quite selective when utilizing these services. With Steve Karel, it was clear his service was superior to any others I had encountered prior and since. Steve was always the consummate professional with the highest integrity. He was always thorough and tenacious in meeting the requirements of our staffing needs. All of the assignments I worked with Steve on were of the utmost difficulty and these positions tended to fall into the “needle in the haystack” category. Despite these challenges Steve never disappointed. Moreover, aside from being a brilliant recruiter, he was a fun to work with.”

8. This is funny and it can save you money!
“Welcome aboard we are delighted that you have joined our company”...then six months later, you want to kick yourself, or maybe someone else in the rear. Your company followed all the proper procedures and still made a bad hiring decision. At this point your company has invested a lot of time, and wasted a lot of money, and now the entire process has to start all over again – very costly. In a large number of the companies that we have quarried, for which we have performed a forensic analysis, their hiring process has experienced this type of scenario. All of them have well- developed and structured hiring protocols that screen, test, and do due diligence. Still they have all experienced the same type of failure rate.
“I love you, you are perfect, now change”, is a very costly concept for hiring people.
Working with Karel&Company is unlike working with any other executive search firm. You will love our results and our unique approach, we take to get there.
K&Co. will fill your position with the best candidate, one who will fit into your company, and we guarantee it.

12. This will save you money.
The “right” candidate must have all the desirable qualifications and experience, including solid business acumen and prowess.
This is our “25% -70%-5% Formula” ™
A résumés value to K&Co. is only worth about 25% of the candidate’s obvious value; if the candidate doesn’t possess the correct background, skills, experience, total passed performance, positions held, accomplishments, business acumen, wins, education, etc. you shouldn’t be wasting your time. Regardless of anyone's “gut feelings," the candidates' presentation at an interview, or what others say, etc.
We consider 70% of their value to you is their compatibility factor:
personality, character, chemistry, and temperament. And,
The last 5% is luck, every company and every person needs some luck.
Example: Let us say the candidate is considered the “Albert Einstein” or “I.M. Pei” of his or her field or discipline, but if they do not fit into your company’s personality, character, temperament or chemistry. That person, if hired, will be an abject failure.
“Needs A nalysi s” ™
Be aware, that most people have some biases, and during an interview some of these “feelings” might distort the critique of the interviewer, and thus their feedback. However, this can be minimized by our Needs Analysis methodology.
Most people are heavily influenced by their perceptions and what they expect to see. Even when something is right before their eyes, it can be hard to “see” because of preconceived notions. They may feel that they are looking at things in an impartial way, but it can be difficult to avoid these biases.
The three of hearts should be red, not black.
Our Needs Analysis, coupled with our years in experience of screening, vetting, performing due diligence, and evaluating C-level and senior management, has made K&Co. one of the leading retained executive search firms in our areas of expertise. Remember, emotions and “feelings” can determine decisions. Different perceptions of the position by either the candidate or interviewers will guarantee failure.
The candidate’s interviewing skills do not reflect competency or the ability to succeed in the position.
Our “Needs Analysis” TM is a methodology that has been created over the last 30 years that will enable
your company to review the hiring process, internal hiring procedures and interviewing techniques thus, gaining a more precise, and honest feedback from your key interviewing staff, resulting in hiring the best possible candidates.

13. “He’s a truth wizard”...which explains some of Stephen’s abilities, Dr, Milo Sobel.
A generation ago, Dr. Maureen O'Sullivan, Professor of Psychology at the University of California in San Francisco, coined the term "truth wizard," to describe the rare individual who possesses the innate ability to recognize the words, speech patterns, breathing, tone, pace tones, attitudes, demeanor, composure, truthfulness and accuracy of what someone is saying ... even over the telephone. Using pattern recognition and applying emotional sensitivity, these 'Truth Wizards' are capable of determining if the subject is telling the truth. “Phone lattices,” an arrangement in space of isolated points (e.g.,
lattice points) in a regular pattern provide a very effective and reliable understanding of a person's sincerity, not deflected by the subject's physical attributes or lack thereof. Through her research into “Truth Wizards,” she determined that most of these talents were inborn, and then developed over the course of a lifetime. Moreover, at the time, Dr. O'Sullivan was able to identify less than a hundred individuals with this gift.
Despite the passage of time and the seeming lack of necessity to identify more candidates as 'truth wizards,' if only for research purposes (given the embrace of O’ Sullivan’s contribution by the academic community), the population of 'truth wizards' has not been formally expanded. Amongst the cognoscenti, however, it is known that, although a still rare breed, "truth wizards" certainly exceed a hundred heads. In my personal experience as a researcher, author and management consultant, extraordinary individual come to mind as members of this exclusive club: Stephen A. Karel, CEO of Karel&Company executive search.

15. The following will give you a glimpse into Mr. Karel’s personality profile:
Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which measures four qualities of a person -- introversion/extroversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, judging/perceiving -- is often used to help match people up with careers..
Mr. Karel’s MBI is ESTJ; “Administrator” - Good manager, steady, balanced.
His type is often described as a “pillar of strength.” Best adjective would be responsible.
He is outstanding at organizing, setting up orderly procedures and in detailing rules and regulations. Mr. Karel would be comfortable in evaluating others and tend to judge how a person is doing in terms of standard operating procedures. He could be a little abrupt with those who get out of line, and he also may not be responsive to points of view and emotions of others.
Has a stoic ethic.
He is always prepared. At a cursory glance, might seem to be pessimistic. He is realistic about errors and shortages.
Traditions and ceremonies are very important, and he tries to maintain them.
He has a good sense of responsibility, and obligations. When at a party, in order to have a good time will help the host with serving and cleaning up.
He is conservative by nature.
Most people like to be in his presence.
He tends to take on too much, and might worry who will do it?
He is not impetuous and sudden changes do not sit well.
He is a strong advocate of fundamentals, and the need to fulfill them.
The care of others, especially the young and the old, and those in position of authority, is of special concern.
He has a deep commitment to the standards of society. He does not like to be associated with people or institutions, which are outside the social pale.
He is a stable person. “A good day’s work for a good days pay.”
Strong sense of right and wrong, and is disapproving of wrongdoers.
Tends to do the right thing at the right time. He does not put things off.
Likes to get things done in an organized and orderly manner.
Mr. Karel is comfortable in evaluating others, and tends to judge how a person is doing in terms of standard operating procedures. He follows routines well. He has a place for everything. He is a facilitator rather than a director, a catalyst rather than a commandant.
In addition to the Meyer Briggs sorter you might also want to look at The Minnesota Multiphase Personality Inventory, which attempts to measure propensity for substance abuse or other pathologies, is regularly used to assess candidates for sensitive positions in police departments, banks, nuclear plants and the like. The Neuroticism, Extroversion and Openness Personality Inventory breaks personality down into five characteristics that some companies use to assess traits such as management potential, etc.

16. A thank you note…
Dear Mr. Karel:
On behalf of the Stuart Dean Company, Inc., please accept this communication as acknowledgement of our deepest appreciation for the excellent services you provided in our successful executive position search for our Senior Vice President and National Director of Operations.
You were selected to take the assignment because of your reputation of Karel&Company as a premier executive search firm. This was confirmed by referrals and clients who attested to the Karel&Company patented process of qualifying, selecting and presenting only the best candidates to the client.
We found this to absolutely true and our expectations were exceeded as you directed and completed the search. The process of taking the time to visit and interview the management staff, understanding the nature of the niche business we operate, and drilling down to present superior candidates was precise to our needs. From over 300 résumés reviewed and multiple network contacts you made, and hiring executive manager and senior management staff and the Board of Directors was presented with candidates all of whom could do the job. The time and detail you spend researching and testing the potential candidates is the most thorough that I have ever witness in my 30 years in the human resources profession. These remarkable experiences lead to the selection of the most appropriate candidate and the one who is truly committed to the company.
Stephen, you provide the mentoring to facilitate a solid interview process and educated staff to maximize efficiency and capability for recruitment and selection. Most of all you were available, patient and perspicacious, and objectively guided us through the difficult selection process. In the end you helped solidify and present a very good offer of employment to our candidate. You facilitated the candidate entry into the company and still maintain contact to assure both incumbent and client satisfaction.
The Stuart Dean Company, Inc. is very pleased with the services provided and we look forward to the future to continue our relationship.
