Characteristics of the “Performance Management” Process• Facilitates Quarterly Appraisals• Facilitates “mid-course” corrections through monthly reviews for specific departments• Defines desired corporate, division and department performance through “Business Planning”• Aligns individual performance to corporate, division and department performance• Facilitates mid-course corrections through Performance Reviews• Links performance on KRAs to a Variable Pay Scheme, to sharpen focus on performance around “business goals”• Facilitates a “Balanced view of Performance” through linking KRAs and Routine Responsibilities to “annual increments”• Focuses not only on “performance” but also on “development” P.B.S. KUMAR 7.
Definition of Performance - “KAUSABAN” Key Responsibility Routine Areas ResponsibilitiesKRAs are “Critical Routine Responsibilities areAchievements” required to “on-going tasks or outcomesdeliver Globals desired that are undertaken or deliveredbusiness results on a day-to-day basisThe targets for these are The targets for these comederived from the Corporate from the targets on processgoals and objectives- these efficiency that are either sethave been derived through internally in a department/the Balanced Scorecard division or as a part ofexercise initiatives like Six Sigma P.B.S. KUMAR 8.
Identifying Key Result Areas– KRAs are directly linked to the AAOIL’s business goals and to ensure that alignment, a tool called the “Balanced Scorecard” will be used. • Framework for articulation of corporate strategy • Development of strategic initiatives along 4 themes - Financial, Customer, Internal Process and Learning & Growth • Cascading of strategy to actionable initiatives (KRA’s) at Division & Department levels P.B.S. KUMAR 9.
Development through KAUSABAN– A key element of KAUSABAN, focusing on building individual capability using Competencies.– Competencies are “Skills and abilities described in behavioral terms that are coachable, observable, measurable, and critical to organizational performance” for e.g., teamwork – No marks assigned - used only for Development – Competency dictionary is under preparation. – Levels of Proficiency and behavioral indicators would be defined for each Competency once established. P.B.S. KUMAR 10.

KUMAR• Rater bias removed through the introduction of a reviewer 19.
Action PlanningThe Action Plan describes the specific steps, milestonesand resources planned by the Appraisee to accomplishthe KRA or Routine Responsibility. KRA TargetOrder Booking Rs. 20 CroreAction Plan:– Scan the market on an ongoing basis to identify opportunities– Analyze existing customer base to identify possibilities of repeat orders– Reduce cycle time to submit proposals/tender– Conduct analysis identifying reasons for loss of past orders and determine weather loss was due to technical or commercial reasons– Gather market intelligence on pricing strategy of competitors and keeps units abreast of the same– Have on-going discussions with units on bids being prepared so as to ensure that optimal techno-commercial bid is prepared P.B.S. KUMAR 20.
Monthly Reviews Objective • To facilitate “mid-course” corrections, and ensure that targets reflect market realities Applicability • Divisions where the targets are very flexible and their realization depends upon market forces • The division heads of the respective divisions need to decide at the beginning of the year whether monthly reviews are required for their divisions Process• Appraisee does self appraisal and determines how he/she is performing against the targets set for the quarter• Appraisee and Appraiser have a discussion around the targets and the Appraiser gives Feedback to the Appraisee on his/ her performance• If required, Appraisee and Appraiser revise targets for the quarter to reflect market realities [This is to done only if necessitated by business realities] P.B.S. KUMAR 21.
Quarterly Appraisals [Q1, Q2,Q3 & Q4] Objective • To assess performance of the Appraisee on KRAs, against the targets outlined for the quarter Process • You and Your Appraiser will rate your performance on the KRAs articulated at the beginning of the year on the basis of the Action Plan or Steps Taken by you for its accomplishment and the extent of achievement against outlined targets for the period. Appraisal Q1 Appraisal 1st Week of April Schedule Q2 Appraisal 1st Week of July Q3 Appraisal 1st Week of October Q4Appraisal 1st Week of January Computation of Your Final Score for the quarter will be arrived by adding up the “Final Score” individual ratings on each KRA and dividing it by the no of goals or KRAs . This will give you your score on KRAs. Final Score = Average of Scores on each KRA for the quarter P.B.S. KUMAR* Scoring will be done based on the 5 point rating scale mentioned in the next section. 22.
Rating scale for Performance EvaluationThe rating scale used for the evaluation of performance on KRA’s is a five point scaleand is explained below:5: Exceeds Expectations consistently - Consistently exceeded the expectationsbeyond a point which deserves special mentionThis is the highest rating and is given when the results put in by an individual is trulyoutstanding.4: Exceeds Expectations occasionally - Exceeded most of the set expectations by areasonable marginThis rating is to be used when a majority of the the set expectations were exceededand outcomes and efforts were above average.3: Meets Expectations consistently - Met all the set expectations as per targetThis rating is the average rating, when an employee delivers what s/he is bound todeliver. Needs to be given only when all the expectations were met.2: Meets Expectations on most occasions - Met most of the set expectationsWhen an employee meets most, but misses some of the expectations, this rating isapplicable.1: Does not meet Expectations on most occasions - Failed to meet most of theexpectations. P.B.S. KUMARWhen a majority of the expectations are not met, this rating is applicable 23.
Final Appraisal Objective • To assess overall performance of the Appraisee on KRAs and Routine Responsibilities and to assess development against the Development Plan charted at the beginning of the year Time • End of Q4 [First Week of January ] Process• The Appraisee undertakes a self-appraisal and gives a rating on all the KRAs for the quarter [Q4] and Routine Responsibilities• The Appraiser then does the assessment & rating.• He/ she also reviews the actions taken towards achievement of the Appraisees’s development plan.• The Reviewer then reviews the ratings. At any stage the appraiser and/or reviewer can call for a discussion with the Appraisee.• The overall rating has to be a consensus between Appraisee, appraiser & the reviewer.• In case of a dispute, the reviewer’s rating will be treated as final and will feed into the Overall performance score of the Appraisee.• After ratings are finalized by the Reviewer, they are consolidated by HR and then, checked for “Rater Bias” P.B.S. KUMAR 24.
Final Appraisal Computation of Your Overall Score for the year will be arrived by taking a weighted “Overall Score” sum of ratings on routine responsibilities and average of ratings on KRAs for the 4 quarters. Overall Score = ((Average of Final Scores on KRAs for the 4 Quarters) * KRA Section Weightage) + ((Average of scores on Routine Responsibilities) * Routine Responsibility Section Weightage) Overall Performance Rating Annually [End of Q4] • Final Score for Q1 Key • Final Score for Q2 Relative Result • Final Score for Q3 Simple Average Weightage Overall Score Areas • Final Score for Q4 for KRAs** Will serve as the basis for Routine • Scores on Relative fixed pay increases or Weightage Responsi Routine Simple Average promotional decisions Responsibilities for Routine bilities Responsibiliti es*** Scoring will be done based on the 5 point rating scale as discussed earlier** Relative Weightages for KRAs and Routine Responsibilities are detailed in the following slide P.B.S. KUMAR 25.
Relative weights for KRA’s and routine responsibilities Objective • Top management to have greater relative weight on achievement of KRA’s vis-à-vis routine responsibilities (as compared to Middle Management and Junior Management) • Support or service functions to have greater relative weight on achievement of routine responsibilities than KRA’s (as compared to non-support/ production functions Core Functions Non-Support (Production) Divisions [For e.g., HSM, SIP, BF) Weightages KRAs Routine Responsibilities Top Management 70% 30% Middle Management 60% 40% Junior Management 50% 50% Support Divisions (For. e.g., CRG, Finance etc.) Weightages KRAs Routine Responsibilities Top Management 50% 50% Middle Management 40% 60% Junior Management 30% 70% Note: Classification of grades/ bands into Top, Middle & Junior Management will P.B.S. KUMAR need to be decided 26.
Removing rater bias Objective • To improve the consistency and soundness of the evaluation process • Removing rater (appraiser) bias through introduction of a reviewer • Applicable to final scores (arrived at in each quarter) and the overall performance score (computed at the end of the fourth quarter) Calculate the average of all the “overall ratings” given by an 1Methodology appraiser to each employee. Call this A Calculate the average of all “average overall ratings” (or average 2 of all “A”s) given by all Appraisers. Call this figure B. 3 Now check for variance for each Appraiser - (A-B)/ B * 100 = x% 4 If x% falls in the range -10% to 15%, there is no rater bias. If it does not fall in this range, there is a possibility that rater 5 bias may be occurring, and hence this forms an outlier For such outliers, the appraiser has to give justification for the 6 rating given and if the reviewer feels that the justification is not P.B.S. KUMAR sound enough, he/she may direct the appraiser to revisit the rating 27.
Assessing Development Plans Assessing Development Plans ⇒ During the year-end appraisal, the Appraiser will rate the Rating Appraisee on the Competencies, based on the 5 point rating scale Competencies* mentioned below. ⇒ These ratings will be used only for “Developmental purposes” and will not form a part of the “Overall Score” and will thus not be linked to incentives or increments. Other Skills ⇒ The Appraiser will also assess the achievement of the Development Plan of the Appraisee on Other Skills during the year, on the action plans charted by the Appraisee. This however, will not result in any scoring of any sort ⇒ Based on the “current performance levels” of the incumbent, the Career Appraiser, in consultation with the Appraisee, will capture “Career Aspirations* Aspirations” for the Appraisee, if any will provide his/ her assessment of the readiness/ potential of the Appraisee based on the scale mentioned in the next slide. P.B.S. KUMAR* Scoring will be done based on the 5 point rating scales detailed in the next slide 28.
Rating Scales for Competencies and Career Development For Competencies A: Role Model- Encourages and influences others to display the skill. B: Strength- Almost always demonstrates behavior/skill where appropriate C: Capable- Often demonstrates the behavior/skill D: Development Area- Sometimes demonstrates the behavior/skill where appropriate E: Learner- Has not yet demonstrated the behavior/skill. For Assessing Potential The following five point rating scale will be used: ⇒High - This individual can advance well above (one or two levels above) current position ⇒Moderate - This individual shows potential for taking on greater responsibility or moving to next management/technical level over a period of 6-12 months ⇒Limited - This individual can continue to contribute significantly in his/her current position, but may have limited upward growth opportunities. A lateral move may be an appropriate growth opportunity for this individual ⇒Key Resource - This individual is a key resource in his/her current position. This vital knowledge precludes movement at this time, but development opportunities should continue to be identified ⇒Too New- This individual has been in his/her current position less than six months and is too new to evaluate P.B.S.

Pokemon players arrested after bringing real arsenal to tournament - The Washington Post
Pokemon players arrested after bringing real arsenal to tournament
Weapons and ammunition allegedly brought to a Pokemon tournament in Boston by James Austin Stumbo and Kevin Norton. The two were arrested on Saturday. (Boston Police Department)
On Thursday, hundreds of Pokemon players from around the globe began arriving to the Hynes Convention Center in Boston for the game’s annual World Championship. There were grand masters from Mexico, senior champions from Chile and a junior Pokemon prodigy from Portugal — all competing for a first prize of $25,000.
Each brought with them their own armada of cards: paper armies of fictional creatures with names like Blastoise and Charmander, Jigglypuff and Pikachu.
Two contestants, however, showed up packing a much more potent type of arsenal.
Prosecutors allege 18-year-old Kevin Norton and 27-year-old James Stumbo were planning to carry out a mass shooting at the Pokemon World Championships in Boston. (Reuters)
Kevin Norton and James Stumbo had driven cross-country from Iowa to participate in the Pokemon tournament. According to Boston Police, the disgruntled gamers had threatened online to kill fellow contestants and had packed accordingly.
Their secret weapons weren’t adorable cartoons but rather real, secret weapons: a 12-gauge Remington shotgun, an AR-15 assault rifle, scores of bullets and a hunting knife nearly a foot in length, all stored in the trunk of their car.
On Saturday, cops arrested the men after receiving a tip from tournament security, searching their car and seizing the weapons. Norton, 18, and Stumbo, 27, did not have the proper licenses, cops said, and have been charged with unlawful possession of both a firearm and ammunition.
But Boston Police painted the arrests as much more than a permit issue. Officers had prevented “a potential tragedy,” they said.
“This incident is a good example of private security reaching out to their local Boston police district and relaying information to detectives and BRIC analysts in order to identify the very real threat,” according to Bureau of Intelligence and Analysis Commander Superintendent Paul Fitzgerald.
Neither Norton nor Stumbo could be reached for comment Sunday night.
Their arrests have divided America’s Pokemon community, with some supporters suggesting that the incident was a joke gone too far and others arguing that the arrests had prevented a possible bloodbath.
“It’s good to know they were arrested,” one person wrote on PokeBeach, a popular Pokemon-related Web site. “Such a shame people aren’t taking this as seriously because [of jokes like] ‘It’s Pokemon, people still play Pokemon?'”
Indeed, the arrests are revealing just how seriously some people take Pokemon.
Crime at card games is nothing new. Many times a bad black jack hand or a marked poker card has led to violence. Some men have even lost their lives at the table: victims of rage or robbery or gambling grudges.
Earlier this year, a man was arrested at a poker tournament in Ontario, for instance. Harnam Matharu was arrested for allegedly assaulting and robbing someone at a previous tournament, the Globe and Mail reported. Matharu was the chip leader and close to winning $200,000 when cops intervened. Despite being detained, he still received $80,000.
But that was poker, a game associated with the Wild West and still notorious for high stakes, high tempers and hijinks.
As the prize money demonstrates, however, Pokemon tournaments are no joke. They routinely draw hundreds of contestants. And in one weekend, winners can earn enough money to live on for the rest of the year.
Although most Americans think of it as a child’s game from the mid 1990s, Pokemon has proved a resilient and powerful cultural force.

“The franchise keeps revamping itself, creating new ways to get kids hooked on the game and keep the money flowing out of parents’ pockets,” Colleen O’Neil wrote in 2013. “Pokémon is in its sixth generation, with the recent release of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y for the Nintendo 3DS in October 2013, which sold more than four million units worldwide in the first two days of its release.
“But while most of the kids who grew up with Pokémon have moved on to other device-driven addictions (collecting Facebook friends instead of Pokémon), some of them have taken advantage of the franchise’s long history to hone their skills and become true Poké-masters,” she wrote. “There’s even a well-established, invite-only Pokémon World Championships. That’s right, every year a whole convention center fills with men and women in Pikachu costumes, hunched over their Game Boys, tapping away at their screens for a chance at glory (and cash prizes).”
From his social media posts, Stumbo appears to have been a successful player.
In a recent Facebook post, for example, he boasted that he planned to spend his earnings from this year’s national Pokemon tournament on “guns and strippers[s].”
“Boys an girls this is going to be a guns and stripper weekend!!!” he wrote on July 30 above a photo of an e-mail announcing that his $1,000 Pokemon check was in the mail.
Posted by James Austin Stumbo on Wednesday, December 29, 2010
Stumbo, seated at left, during a 2010 tournament in Hawaii.
That post eerily foreshadowed this weekend’s arrests in a number of ways.
First, there was the company.
One of the commenters on the Facebook post was none other than Kevin Norton.
“But imagine [what] would she do for $1,000,” Norton said, referring to a stripper. “I approve of pokemans [sic] funding strip clubs.”
According to his Facebook profile, Norton is a high school student in Ames, Iowa, about 36 miles away from Stumbo’s hometown of Des Moines.
From Facebook, the two appear to be friends, frequently messaging each other about late-night Pokemon games or prospective tournaments.
The other hobby they seemed to share, however, was guns.
Norton’s Facebook profile picture appears to show the skinny 18-year-old firing a pistol. It was posted June 20 and the only comment on it is someone writing: “Thug.”
Posted by Kevin Norton on Sunday, May 11, 2014
On Wednesday, the two Iowans apparently merged their two hobbies into one ill-fated trip.
“Kevin Norton and I are ready for worlds,” Stumbo wrote on Aug. 19 above a photo of a white car with a shotgun and an AR-15 on the trunk. “Boston here we come!!!”
Some of Stumbo’s friends appear to have shrugged off the photo as a joke.
“Columbine pt 2,” wrote one.
“Don’t worry about it,” answered Stumbo.
“Just don’t get mad when you lose the auto win,” the friend replied with a smiley face.
“My AR-15 says you lose,” Stumbo answered.
“Another Boston massacre,” the friend wrote.
Another series of comments was even more chilling.
“Good luck!” a second friend commented on the photo.
“With killing the competition?” Norton replied, according to the Daily Beast.
Whether or not Norton and Stumbo were serious, the Facebook posts worried fellow Pokemon players, who then tipped off tournament organizers.
When the two arrived in Boston for Thursday’s opening ceremony, they were blocked from entering the convention center, according to BPD.
“Hynes Convention security called the Boston Police Department, which radioed two officers to look into Norton and Stumbo,” according to the Daily Beast. “The ‘officers were informed’ of Stumbo’s post on Facebook, according to the police report. When Stumbo was questioned, he claimed the post was taken out of context. However, Norton told police where their car was parked and that it had weapons inside. Norton said the shotgun was his but the AR-15 was Stumbo’s. Neither man produced a permit to carry firearms.”
Cops seized the vehicle, while Norton and Stumbo were released pending a search warrant, according to BPD.
When a judge approved the warrant the next day, police popped the car’s trunk to allegedly find a 12-gauge Remington shotgun, a DPMS model AR-15 rifle, several hundred rounds of ammunition and a hunting knife. They then issued an arrest warrant for the Pokemon players.
Norton and Stumbo were arrested on Saturday at a hotel in Saugus, near Boston, according to police. They will be arraigned Monday in Boston Municipal Court.
“Prior to the event this weekend, our community of players made us aware of a security issue,” the Pokemon International Company said in a statement on Sunday, according to the Daily Beast. “We gathered information and gave it as soon as possible to the authorities at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center who acted swiftly and spearheaded communication with the Boston Police Department. Due to quick action, the potential threat was resolved. The Pokemon Company International takes the safety of our fans seriously and will continue to ensure proper security measures are a priority.”
Reactions from the Pokemon community ranged from surprise to disgust.
“Woah,” wrote one commenter on the PokeBeach article about the arrests. “That’s not very Pokemon master-like!”
“And just when I thought the playerbase couldn’t sink any lower,” wrote another.
“Wow, just wow,” wrote a third, before praising the Pokemon gods for intervening.
“Thank Arceus the authorities got it all under control.”

Federal appeals court reinstates Ferguson grand juror's suit | Daily Mail Online
Published: 13:45 EDT, 20 June 2016 | Updated: 13:45 EDT, 20 June 2016
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A federal appeals court ruled Monday that a judge wrongly tossed a lawsuit by a woman wanting to speak publicly about her time on the grand jury that declined to indict the Ferguson police officer who fatally shot an unarmed black man.
A three-judge panel with the St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the lawsuit by the woman identified only as "Grand Juror Doe."
The lawsuits claim Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch mischaracterized the jury's findings when he announced in November 2014 that the panel declined to indict Ferguson officer Darren Wilson in the death three months earlier of 18-year-old Michael Brown. Wilson later resigned.
That shooting — and the grand jury's clearing of Wilson — fueled often-violent protests and propelled the "Black Lives Matter" movement and debate over police treatment of minorities.
Grand Juror Doe's lawsuits, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri, allege McCulloch wrongly implied that all 12 jurors believed there was no support for any charges. Under Missouri law, an indictment requires agreement by nine of the panel's dozen members, and grand jurors are sworn to secrecy under the threat of contempt or other charges.
Grand Juror Doe took that oath twice — first when the grand jury convened in May 2014, then again four months later when her term was extended to allow the panel to consider evidence and testimony related to Brown's death.
The U.S. Justice Department ultimately concluded that evidence backed Wilson's claim that he shot Brown in self-defense after Brown first tried to grab the officer's gun during a struggle through the window of Wilson's police vehicle, then came toward him threateningly after briefly running away.
Grand Juror Doe has insisted her experiences on the panel — it met on 25 days over three months, hearing more than 70 hours of testimony from about 60 witnesses — "could aid in educating the public about how grand juries function" and help advocate for changing how grand juries are conducted in Missouri. The secretive process came under added scrutiny after the Ferguson case.

.net - Make some List Union in C# - Stack Overflow
Make some List Union in C#
I have 3 lists which every one of them has some instance of following class:
public List<Menu> Childs=new List<Menu>();
I fill everyone of these list in code below:
public List<Menu> GetAvailableMenus(string[] roles)
var adminMenu = new List<Menu>();
var terminalMenu = new List<Menu>();
var gaurdMenu = new List<Menu>();
GetAdminMenus(adminMenu);
if (roles.Contains("terminal"))
GetTerminalMenus(terminalMenu);
if (roles.Contains("gaurd"))
GetGaurdMenus(gaurdMenu);
return adminMenu.Union(gaurdMenu).Union(terminalMenu).ToList();
my problem is Union action just concat these list and do nor merge them in order to remove redundant items.
does anyone has any idea what should I do?

You haven't overridden Equals or GetHashCode for your Menu class, so Union has no way (except reference equality, which won't work here) to know that there are duplicates. Implementing those methods in a sensible way will make your code work.
Guidelines for Equals
Some info on GetHashCode
Alternatively, you can just pass in your own implementation of IEqualityComparer as another argument to the Union method.
Your Menu class needs to properly implement IEquatable<> in order to determine whether two entries are the same or not. Otherwise Union will use the default equality, which will compare reference equality.
If you provide an equality comparer for Union then it will be able to merge and not just concat your lists
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb358407.aspx
Update - reading your question again I'm wondering if you also want the child menu items merged too. If that's the case, then I think you will need to write some logic to do this - I don't think there's any way of using the Linq Union operator to do this nested merging. share|improve this answer answered Jul 16 '11 at 10:52
