Todd Zola and I were members of the alt.rec.fantasy.baseball usenet group back when George Clinton was president. We knew what was coming.
And now, today, umpteen years later, we both published charts linking draft order to auction prices, which seems to be the new orange. Make of it what you will.
I think Todd's story does a fine job pointing out that using ADP for your mixed draft analysis is not enough. And I'm happy to embrace Todd's perfectly independently concluded idea that draft value is akin to auction value.
FWIW Todd and I are talking about sharing data and working on some new ideas, too.

Blueprint for effective insider trading enforcement
[*All views expressed here are personal and nothing contained herein reflects the views, opinions and beliefs of any organization.]
Given the illegal and secretive nature of market abuses like insider trading adjunct with the difficulties associated with its regulatory detection resulting from limited prowess of SEBI, it has historically been difficult for the regulator to ascertain the degree to which it occurs in practice.[1] Orders of SEBI, SAT and higher judiciary have played a critical role in shaping many of the elements of what constitutes insider trading. So effectively, the historical difficulty should have been eased over the past 30 years of enactment of the SEBI Act, 1992 and existence of SEBI. Recent Supreme Court decisions have indicated otherwise.
In the last year, the Supreme Court in two different cases before it, ruled that the motive on the part of the insider to seek profits is an essential precondition for a successful insider trading charge (SEBI v. Abhijit Rajan)[2] and that circumstantial evidence such as trading pattern and timing of trades was insufficient to prove a charge of disclosure of UPSI in absence of any direct evidence (Balram Garg v. SEBI).[3]
These rulings pertain to the very basics of enforcing insider trading regulation and come as a relief against orders that were being issued by the regulator in Balram Garg and many others where the provisions of the insider trading regulations have been evoked on basis of proof and grounds which posit reasonable doubts as to the contours of what constitutes insider trading. So the historical difficulty persists.
Notably, a reading of the provisions of Section 12 of the SEBI Act, 1992 demonstrates only a broad based prohibition on insider trading with the scope, manner and enforcement of the prohibition having been left to the wit of the regulator. On the other hand, the detailed framework with trading windows, definitions of insiders and connected persons as well as unpublished price sensitive information is derived from the insider trading regulations issued by the regulator by virtue of the powers vested with it in terms of the Act.
Effectively, insider trading regulation in India is meant to forbid exploitation of information asymmetry (resulting from a non comparable pedestal) that a trader may have over another and it derives both justification and appropriate limits from the policy of the legislation.
Without discrediting the advancements made by SEBI in polishing the policy on insider trading over the many years, the recent supreme court decisions could be considered as an opportunity to acknowledge the limitations of the regulator in enforcing the prohibition on insider trading and raises the need to study the precise rationale of the design of the extant policy (understood with actual decisions of the Board, SAT and judicial decisions).
It also merits a study of whether a different design of policy on the subject could provide the regulator with better direction and powers to meet an adequate standard of proof requirements. Lastly, it may also be important to analyse whether the design and enforcement adequately addresses instances arising as a consequence of increase in high frequency trading and dark pools.
Watch this space for more on this.

Starting from May 2018, organisations that collect personal data of EU residents must become compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR.) The GDPR is a new law that aims to strengthen people's rights to privacy and protect their personal data.
GDPR places the burden of ensuring compliance on your entire organisation, especially functions like recruiting which rely heavily on collecting candidates' personal data. What should employers do to ensure GDPR compliance when they find candidates online or collect candidate data in their talent pools?
Please note: while Workable has consulted with legal professionals both in the creation of this guide and updates to our own product features, Workable is not a law firm. All information in this guide is general information only. It is not intended to constitute legal advice or seek to be the complete and comprehensive statement of the law, nor is it intended to address your specific requirements. Organisations should take independent legal advice regarding their own provisions for data protection.
Who must comply with GDPR and what are the penalties for non-compliance?
The GDPR applies to companies that process data of EU residents. This covers EU organisations and non-EU companies that offer goods or services to EU residents or monitor their behavior. All these organisations should become compliant when the law takes effect on 25 May 2018. If they don't, they risk being fined up to 4% of their annual global turnover (revenue) or €20 million, whichever is greater. Companies may also see their reputation hurt by fines or reprimands.
UK organisations must comply with the GDPR until Brexit is completed, and possibly afterwards too.
What are the basic GDPR terms and how do they relate to recruiting?
Candidates or "data subjects." Candidates are the data subjects because they can be identified through personal data they give to companies. For example, their resumes may include their names, physical addresses or phone numbers. The GDPR exists to protect this kind of data. Members of hiring teams are also considered data subjects under GDPR, but their own data will not be processed in the same extent that candidate data will.
Employers or "data controllers." Employers, or recruiters who serve as their company's main representatives to candidates, determine the purpose of collecting candidate personal data. This makes them the data controllers who are fully responsible for protecting candidate data and using it lawfully.
Our hiring specialists can answer all of your questions about GDPR and the Workable GDPR Feature Pack. Request a free demo to learn how Workable's all-in-one recruiting software can keep candidate data secure while making your hiring process more efficient.
How does the GDPR affect recruiting?
You need legitimate interest to process candidate data. GDPR obliges you to collect data only for "specified, explicit and legitimate purposes." This means, for example, that you can source candidate data as long as you collect job-related information only and you intend to contact sourced candidates within 30 days.
You need to have candidate consent to process sensitive data. GDPR requires you to ask for consent when you want to process data like disability information, cultural, genetic or biometric information or information gathered for the EEO survey or a background check. In these cases, you must ask for consent in a clear and intelligible way and provide candidates with clear instructions on how to withdraw their consent should they wish to.
You need to be transparent about processing candidate data. Companies must have clear privacy policies and recruiters are obliged to make those policies available to candidates. You must also disclose where you store candidate data (e.g. your ATS) and state that you will use this data for recruitment purposes only.
You need to assume responsibility for compliance (accountability.) Your company needs to be able to demonstrate compliance with the GDPR. For example, under GDPR, your company is responsible for who it does business with (e.g. an ATS provider or sourcing services.) If your contractors fail to comply with the law, your company is accountable as well.
Candidates have the "right to be forgotten." Candidates have the right to ask you to delete and stop processing their personal data. You must locate every place that you keep their information (e.g. spreadsheets) and delete it within one month after receiving the candidate's request.
Candidates have the right to access their data and ask you to rectify it. Candidates have the right to ask what data of theirs you hold. They can also request that you make corrections to any inaccuracies (rectify.) You must grant both requests within one month and provide candidates with a free, electronic copy of their own personal data.
What should employers do to comply with GDPR?
One of the first things that your company must do to prepare for GDPR is to conduct a companywide data audit. This process will show what kind of data your organisation collects, how, why and from where.
What are our candidate sources and how do we collect personal data? An example would be gathering candidate data via application forms linked from your job ads.
What kind of data do we collect and how much of it do we actually use? An example is asking candidates to provide their email, home address and phone number. You must be certain that all this information is needed for your recruiting (legitimate interest), otherwise you shouldn't be collecting it.
How do we use personal data in our operations? An example would be using candidate data to screen candidates and judge their suitability to progress to interview.
Where do we store data and who has access to it? An example would be storing candidate data in spreadsheets or an ATS and sharing them with hiring teams.
How does data flow within our company across processes/ functions/ departments? An example would be how candidate information is transferred from sourcers to hiring managers to hiring team members, so they can contact those candidates.
What are our processes for sharing, transferring, modifying and deleting data? Again, if you use spreadsheets to track candidate data, what process do you have for correcting inaccuracies or sharing the documents?
The name and contact details of your organisation. If you have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO), include their contact details as well.
A statement that any data requested will be used for recruitment purposes only. You need to explain your legitimate interest too.
The types of information about a candidate that reside in your company's files. These could be contact details, social and professional profiles, education and work experience.
Who you will share the data with. For example, if you are a recruitment consultant, you may share this data with your clients.
Where you find candidate data. It's important that you mention you use your sources lawfully.
Where the processing is based and where you store data. This is especially important if you transfer data outside the EU.
How long your organisation intends to store each candidate's data. If this isn't possible, you need to explain with what criteria you determine this period.
The candidates' rights. These include the right to be forgotten, to rectify or access data, to restrict processing, to withdraw consent, to be kept informed about the processing of their data.
Instructions on how candidates can take action on the processing of their personal data. Let them know how to access their data or request that you delete, rectify or restrict processing of their data.
Sourcing is an essential function for organisations that want to find great people. However, sourcing requires finding and storing personal candidate data so complying with GDPR all the way is critical.
Actually intend to contact those candidates. Simply building your talent database by adding candidate data in case you need it in the future is not legal under GDPR.
Plan to contact candidates as soon as possible. You can only keep a candidate's data without informing them for a limited time (a month at most). Contact these candidates as soon as possible and delete their data if they ask you to. If you change your mind about a candidate, and decide not to contact them, you must delete their data immediately.
Collect only the data you need. You may want to process candidate data relating to education, work history or skills along with contact details. These types of data make sense for your recruitment process. However, you should not process irrelevant data (e.g. cultural information) for recruiting purposes. If you need to process this data, make sure to explain it when you contact candidates and ask for their consent.
Obtain data lawfully. Gathering data from social profiles is legal under GDPR, if those profiles are publicly accessible and if you can reasonably assume that candidates expect to be contacted. For example, you may assume that a publicly accessible LinkedIn profile indicates a reasonable expectation of contact. Only then, you can proceed to process candidate data.
Acme, Inc. [address, phone number, email) has collected and stored your resume and contact details.
We process this data for recruitment purposes only. We found this data on [Linkedin] when looking to fill an open position at our company. We are storing this data in our Applicant Tracking System, [which stores data in the U.S and is fully compliant with EU data protection laws], and we will not share it with anyone else.
We would like to keep this data until our open role is filled. [We can not estimate the exact time period, but we will consider this period over when a candidate accepts our job offer for the position for which we are considering you.] When that period is over, we will either delete your data or inform you that we will keep it in our database for future roles.
You have the right to lodge a complaint about the way we handle your data with [supervisory authority] or you can contact our [DPO] at [contact details] for more information or concerns.
Be transparent. In your job ads, let candidates know that you intend to use their data for recruitment purposes only and how long you may need to keep this data. If you plan to gather more information about candidates (for example, by reviewing their social media profiles) as part of your screening process, you need to say that explicitly and explain how and why.
Sometimes you have more than one great applicant for a role. If you can't hire all of them, you may want to keep the ones you didn't hire on file for future roles. To remain compliant with GDPR, you need to make sure that you will not keep this data for a longer period than the one you originally mentioned to candidates. If, for example, you told candidates in your sourcing email that you would keep their data for a year after they apply, you don't need to send them another email until that year has passed. Conversely, if you told candidates you would keep their data until you filled this particular position, then you need to inform them again that you want to keep the data you had collected.
Link again to your recruitment privacy notice.
Let candidates know they can ask you to delete their data at any time.
If they ask you to delete their data, you must comply.
Often, you will find yourself possessing personal candidate data through means other than job applications or online sourcing. Candidates may give you their CVs at a career fair or a networking event. Or they may ask you to contact them with job opportunities. All these scenarios are lawful under the GDPR, but you need to be able to demonstrate that you have been transparent.
You can do this by preparing standard forms that provide all information required by GDPR and ask candidates to sign. Or you can email them afterwards with your recruitment privacy notice and the rest of the necessary information.
GDPR covers personal data that your company has collected in the past. This means that you must review your talent databases, spreadsheets and other files where you store candidate data before the law comes into effect in May.
If you determine that a candidate is unlikely to be qualified for future roles or is no longer relevant or you obtained their information too long ago, then you must delete their data.
If you store candidate data in your ATS, it'd be easy to delete the data of those who were disqualified. Take a quick look at all candidate profiles to see if there are candidates who are promising or whom you wanted to contact in the future. You could mass-delete the rest.
If you'd like to keep a candidate in your talent pipelines, reach out to them to inform them that you are processing their data.
For candidates that you want to keep in your database, prepare an email to give them necessary information. This email should be similar to the email you would send to sourced candidates in that it must include all information about what data you hold and where. These emails should also include links to your privacy policies. Your ATS may have bulk email functions that will make sending this email much easier.
Data processors have full access to your candidates' data. This is why GDPR expects you to be certain that your partners protect this data the same way you do.
Your most important vendor in recruitment is your ATS provider. Your ATS is the place where you will store almost all candidate data, send emails and delete or modify information. If your ATS complies with GDPR, it will be a great ally in ensuring your company complies as well.
If you aren't using an ATS, consider investing in one before GDPR comes into effect. Spreadsheets, which are the most common alternative to software vendors, may expose you to risks concerning GDPR compliance as they provide a poor audit trail, access controls and version control. One of the key benefits of spreadsheets is also one of their key flaws, in that they can be easily duplicated, modified and disseminated without the owner's knowledge. And, they are a cumbersome method of erasing and correcting data.
Whether GDPR applies to them as processors. If they aren't an EU company, they should either be part of the Privacy Shield (for U.S. companies) or be ready to sign effective data processing agreements that oblige them to follow GDPR's guidelines.
How they plan to become GDPR compliant. They should also be able to tell you where they store their data and how they ensure this data is protected.
Whether they use compliant vendors. They should have data processing agreements in place with those subcontractors.
Whether they have clear privacy policies. Review their privacy policies to ensure they comply with GDPR and can adequately protect candidate data.
Let candidates access their personal data upon request.
Determine the format of the electronic copy of their data that you must give candidates.
Establish a process to extract and send that copy.
Delete candidates' personal data or restrict processing upon their request.
Find all places where you keep data (you must have done this during your data audit) and establish a process to delete data from all these places.
Ensure you have processes to control different versions of candidate data. For example, you should not correct the same candidate data on one spreadsheet and not in another. Having an ATS in place can save you this trouble.
Let candidates withdraw consent (in case you decided to use consent as the legal basis for processing).
Compare this process to the process of giving consent. GDPR requires that the processes of giving and withdrawing consent should be equally easy and simple.
Ensure you communicate these processes clearly on your website and/or your terms and conditions.

Michael Bay says Transformers 4 won't be a reboot
Michael Bay says Transformers 4 won't be a reboot
Love it or hate it, Transformers is essentially Michael Bay's franchise, and he's made it distinctly his own.
As much as many people hate his work, myself included, it would indeed feel really odd if he wasn't at the helm of it, and fans were very happy he was willing to give Transformers 4 a shot.
As Collider informs us, shooting has wrapped on Bay's smaller dark comedy, Pain and Gain, and Bay talked extensively about his Transformers 4 plans to the L.A. Times.
Bay insists that despite reports to the contrary, Transformers 4 won't be a reboot. "That's maybe the wrong word. I don't want to say reboot because then people will think we're doing a Spider-Man and starting from the beginning. We're not. We're taking the story that you've seen – and we're taking it in a new direction."
The next Transformers will indeed have a new cast, which means no Sam Witwicky, or Shia LeBeouf for those who aren't Transformers inclined. This movie the Transformers may also be spending more time in space as well.
"I want to go a little off but I don't want to go too sci-fi," Bay said. "I still want to keep it grounded."
Perhaps now that he's worked with a lot less money on Pain and Gain, he said the Transformers budget will be cut down about $30 million. Bay is also a bit nervous about trying to top himself again, and that this will "absolutely" be his last time doing Transformers, but again, he said that the last time. Still, he promises, "After this one I will leave it in the best hands possible. That's the plan."
Yet who else could deliver Transformers like Michael Bay? If the movies developed any degree of intellect and didn't blow sh*t up every ten seconds, it just wouldn't be the same.

Q: Checking Threaded Comments My office just upgraded to a new version of Office 365, and with it came a new way that comments are done. The old comments are now referred to as "notes" and the new comments are now called "comments".
In one of my workbooks, I have a button that, when clicked, will look through certain cells to check whether there is a comment or not. It will then color the cell based on what it finds.
(my full code for the button is posted below)
Line 9 contains the issue
In previous versions of Excel, this button worked just fine. However, now it only works if the cells have "notes" and does not work if they have "comments". In my code, the class that I had been using was called "Comment", so my code was something along the lines of "If Cells(row, col).Comment Is Nothing...". This class still works, but only looks for notes. I have looked through the Object Library and under the hidden objects, I found a new class called "CommentThreaded". I tried changing my code to that ("If Cells(row, col).CommentThreaded Is Nothing...") but it does not work. When I click the button, I now get a run-time error: applictaion-defined or object-defined error when it tries to access this new class.
Does anyone know what I need to change to get my button to work with threaded comments?
Thanks,
Mike

Solange's supreme creativity is undeniable! After the release of her third album, A Seat at the Table, the 'Saint Records' founder has gifted us with the visuals of two of the tracks: "Don't Touch My Hair" and "Cranes in the Sky".
Solange is without a doubt a leader in all things that are aesthetically pleasing and her two latest Music Videos are no exception. While "Don't Touch My Hair" was completely shot in New Orleans, "Cranes in the Sky" had 42 different set-ups (in nine cities)! Furthermore, the fashion employed was extravagant to say the least - not only do both videos showcase high-end couture and designs from a myriad of emerging artists (that pink puffer jacket was a college thesis piece!, some of the costumes were made out of leaves and drugstore-bought paper or were simply homemade mama Tina specials.
Honourable mentions should go to Alan Ferguson (Solange's husband) for co-directing both videos with her; smooth Sampha for featuring on 'Don't Touch My Hair'; and neo-soul god Raphael Saadiq for co-producing the album.
If you enjoy some Andre 3000 falsetto, some brutally honest social commentary, some motherly wisdom from Tina Knowles-Lawson, or if you just simply revere Master P, then A Seat at the Table is an album to be devoured. Solange herself describes it a "A highly honest, disruptive, angsty record with all of the nuances that I wanted to express." In other words: An album that white America NEEDS to listen to.

Ahh Smile offers superior denture applications in our two locations in Laredo, Texas and Zapata, Texas. Our team of dentists and professionals specialize in the application of complete and partial dentures for patients who are in need of replacing missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Ahh Smile dentures applications are made of acrylic plastic, porcelain, and other metal materials that ultimately finish highly resemblant of natural gum tissue and teeth. Denture applications include several options to resolving missing teeth and bridges, and are an efficient and practical method and an alternative to dental implants that can be used to support cemented bridges and eliminate the need for dentures. Ahh Smile denture applications are performed in safe, comfortable environments, giving patients a unique, relaxed experience and a long lasting, superior solution to patients who are missing some or all of their teeth. Call Ahh Smile in Laredo or Zapata to schedule a denture application today!
Ahh Smile offers two types of denture applications – complete dentures and partial dentures. While the two offer a solution to missing teeth and surrounding tissue, patients might require a certain procedure depending on the nature of their issue. Thankfully, Ahh Smile denture application options accommodate every patient's need.
Ahh Smile complete denture applications are typically "conventional" or "immediate." Conventional complete dentures are made after the teeth has been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal. This application is typically ready for placement in the mouth anywhere from 8 weeks to 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed. Opposed to conventional complete dentures, immediate denture applications are made before the tooth are extracted and are ready for positioning immediately after the teeth are removed. This means that the patient does not have to spend anytime without teeth during the healing period. Due to the shrinkage of gums, however, immediate dentures might require additional adjustments and are at times considered only temporary solutions.
Ahh Smile also offers partial denture applications for patients with some remaining natural teeth. Partial denture procedures consist of replacing teeth attached to a plastic base that is connected by metal and holds the denture in place inside the mouth. Fixed bridges replace one or more teeth by placing crowns on the teeth, and continuing to insert artificial teeth to them. Completed partial dentures ultimately fill in the spaces created by missing teeth and simultaneously prevent the existing teeth from changing position. Partial dentures are removable and have a natural-looking finish to them.
While typically applied to elderly patients, Ahh Smile denture applications can serve patients of any age that have lost some or all of their teeth.
How Are Ahh Smile Denture Applications Made and Performed?
Ahh Smile denture applications in Laredo, Texas and Zapata, Texas are made through a process that typically lasts several weeks. Once we determine whether the patient needs a complete denture application or a partial denture application, our team of dentists and professionals make a complete impression of the patient's jaw, measuring how both jaws relate and how much space is between them. Once this segment is complete, Ahh Smile creates models of the shape and position of the denture for the patient to try. These dentures serve as trials that are continuously tested and evaluated prior to the final denture. The denture application is completed as the final denture is casted and adjusted.
While a denture applications can be an entirely new experience and patients might take time getting used to them, Ahh Smile dentures are a great solution to missing teeth. After the procedures, patients are known to see temporary changes in their speaking and eating habits. Ultimately, however, patients will get accustomed to biting, chewing, and digesting their food. While the dentures can also cause an unfamiliar feeling during the first two weeks as the patient is mandated to wearing the denture during sleep, denture applications are permanently removable and will not interfere with sleeping habits. Additionally, removing the dentures for certain hours throughout the day and at night can also be healthy for gum tissue as it allows it to rest and be cleansed by the tongue and saliva, ultimately improving gum health.
Schedule Your Ahh Smile Dental Filling in Laredo, Texas and Zapata, Texas today!
Ahh Smile denture applications are a great solution to patients who are looking to restore some or all of their missing teeth. Though one might be led to think that dentures are for elderly people, denture applications are used by many people age 40 and over who have lost their teeth due to neglecting regular dental checkups or who have ultimately lost their teeth due to various issues including swollen gums, or loose, gapped, or shifting teeth. Thankfully, Ahh Smile in Laredo and Zapata puts forward a solution to patients by providing various applications performed in a comfortable environment in a smooth, pleasant experience.
Call Ahh Smile in Laredo, Texas and Zapata, Texas to find out more information on denture applications today!

This past week was the Semana Santa, or Holy Week, here in Spain. Yesterday, of course, it was Easter, but the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are commemorated for an entire week here instead of a single day. Elaborate processions took place during the week which included pasos (a large, ornate float with sculptures depicting Christ), marching bands, and a ton of people wearing capirotes, which are large conical hats which are resemblant of the ones worn by members of the KKK, although completely unrelated. We saw parts of a few of these processions since there was at least one happening every evening during the week, and I've attached some pictures below.
When Jesus called two fishermen, Peter and Andrew, into the discipleship, his invitation to them was, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him" (Matthew 4:19-20). As missionaries, we are also "fishers of men," with the purpose of finding and inviting others to come unto Christ.
This incident happened at the beginning of Christ's ministry. After His death and resurrection, which we commemorated this week, Peter, along with a number of the other disciples, went fishing at the sea of Tiberias. During that night of fishing, they caught nothing. The next morning, the Savior appeared and instructed them to cast their nets on the other side of the boat, and when they did that, they caught so many fish that their nets were on the verge of breaking.
I've been thinking about that story a lot recently, and the meaning that it has personally for me. It's definitely been one of those weeks where it feels like I've been "casting my net over" and over again without having the desired results. I imagine how the apostles felt, many of them fishermen by trade, after having spent an entire night on the water without a single catch. I suppose that's the same thing which I've been feeling recently.
Last Monday, we had a really great lesson with Miguel and Jessica. We talked about temples and eternal families, and they shared with us their desires to keep progressing to the point of baptism and so forth. A few days later, after having a lot of difficulty getting ahold of them to work out a time for another lesson, they just kind of shrugged us off, it seems: "Oh, we don't know when we'll have time to meet again, but we'll give you a call when we do." I've been a missionary for long enough to know that very rarely will somebody actually do that, so I guess we'll see what happens. Elder Pack and I are scratching our heads, trying to figure out what we should do now.
We spent a lot of time contacting during the week and trying to share the pass along cards and video for the #PríncipedePaz Easter initiative. On Wednesday, we met a woman named Yvette. It turns out that we had given her mother a pass along card the night before, and Yvette, who had met with the missionaries some 15 years ago, actually stopped us in the street one evening, expressing her desire to meet with us and learn more. So, we ended up talking for a while with her in the streets, and then even went to her house and finished up the lesson there. We also found out that her mom's sister, or rather, her aunt, is actually our neighbor who we've talked to several times. This all seemed great! But, flash forward a few days later when we went back to our return appointment, and we were somewhat bluntly informed by Yvette that she really wasn't interested at all in changing or the message. I think that's the quickest turnaround from new investigator to former investigator that I've seen on my mission so far.
Another potential investigator that we picked up while contacting was a young man named Filipe. On the determined day and time that we set with him to meet, we showed up at the address he gave us and found out that it's the local chapel of the "Luz del Mundo" church. Awkward. Undaunted, we rang the doorbell, and we were invited in to have our lesson with Filipe and Juan, another member of the Luz del Mundo church. Juan already knew a bit about Joseph Smith, the Restoration, and the Book of Mormon, and we have a return appointment set to teach them the restoration again. Although they were respectable and kind during that lesson we had, it remains a bit dubious their motives for meeting with us. We'll be finding out if they just invited us back to be able to "teach us the truth" or if they're really interested in knowing about the message of the restoration, but whatever is going to happen, I just don't want it to turn into a Bible bash or anything negative like that.
A month and a half ago, we contacted a couple in the street, Monica and Miller. At the time, they lived in Valdepeñas, a city in our mission, but quite a long ways away from Motril, so we had sent their contact information to the missionaries there (one of them being my good friend Elder Darrington, actually). A few weeks ago, we received the news from Elder Darrington that Monica and Miller were moving to Motril, and that they still had a desire to meet with the missionaries! We were going to have a lesson the other week, but they had to cancel the appointment at the last minute because their family from Valdepeñas came down to surprise them. So, we were trying to call them back the other day to arrange another time to meet, and, well, long story short, a prostitute answered the phone instead of our potential investigators. We even called the next day from a different number to make sure that we weren't being duped, but yeah, I guess that Monica and Miller got a new number and a prostitute picked up their old one. So, now we have no way to contact them.
In short, things didn't work out quite as we planned this week. But, as we learn from this story with the disciples, the "catch" will come in accordance with the Lord's timing. I'm sure that the apostles would have liked their first catch of the night to have been the final big one, and not the other way around, but certainly it was worth the wait, for all good things are worth waiting for. The Lord has called us to be fishers of men, and we know from these accounts that He watches over his fishermen. Although I would say that everything in terms of the progression of the work here isn't quite going in the way that my mind wants it to be going, I take a lot of solace in knowing that it's going in the way that God has planned it to go as I try to align my will more with His going onwards. I know that "[Christ] is risen, as He said," and that his marvelous work is still taking place today.

It's a great hotel in a great location!
Wonderful hotel in perfect location. Great price, immaculately clean and comfortable. The included breakfast was one of the best free breakfasts we've had. Only booked mountain view - which was beautiful - but had room 522, a corner room with view of the sea too. Right on the beach and at the quieter end of the bay, away from the throngs of day trippers. Would definitely go back.
The only negative comment I would make about the times I have stayed is that the cooked breakfast is never hot or even warm and the buffet layout appears chaotic.
Excellent hotel. Our second visit as we were so impressed last time. Very well ran. All the staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and spacious. The pool is very good too. I can't say anything bad about Hotel Marina Soller, I'd recommend it to anyone.
Reception staff were mostlyu all very friendly. We arrived late in the evening and they had kept us some food back from dinner, and gave us drinks too. The staff in the restaurant weren't too cheerful, apart from Alex who always smiled and chatted away. Hotel was clean. We opted for a seaview room - highly recommend this! Surrounding area was beautiful - none of those commercialized shops and pubs. All independent cafes, shops and authentic restaurants.

It's all the more grotesque because of its evident sincerity. This misguided Hollywood remake of Wim Wenders's 1988 Wings of Desire, said to be the swan song of the late Columbia Pictures president Dawn Steel, is about angels in Los Angeles watching over human lives; one of them (Nicolas Cage) falls in love with a heart surgeon (Meg Ryan) and decides to become human. Wenders's angels were derived from the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke; the only literary reference this film makes is to Hemingway's mean-spirited memoir A Moveable Feast, which is celebrated here for its sensual descriptions of taste. If you've never seen the lovely Wenders film, maybe you'll be charmed by this low-grade variation, all of whose best qualitiessuch as the airy crane shots poised over city vistas and freewayscan be traced back to the original; otherwise you might run screaming from the theater. (Reportedly the film made more sense before some of the actors decided to improve the script with their own dialogue.) Directed by Brad Silberling (Casper) from a script by Dana Stevens (Blink); with Dennis Franz and Andre Braugher. (JR)… Read more »

Chronicle of a Disappearance
Palestinian independent Elia Suleiman returned to Nazareth after many years in New York to make this 1996 first feature, an intriguing, highly sophisticated, and often very funny combination of fiction, documentary, diary, essay, and home movie. Armed with irony, absurdist humor, and a handsome visual style, Suleiman offers a surprisingly comprehensive portrait of middle-class Palestinian life in Israel and a complex understanding of Arab identity within that world that encompasses both family and friends. Film Center, Art Institute, Columbus Drive at Jackson, Saturday, March 28, 4:00, and Sunday, March 29, 2:00 and 6:00, 312-443-3737.

Reflecting on the death of his beloved grandfather (Robert Loggia), a fifth-grader (Joseph Cross) in a Catholic school experiences a crisis of faith. Though I wouldn't call this comedy-drama especially memorable, it can at least be lauded for its sincerity.

Canadian filmmaker Ann Marie Fleming, a child of Chinese and Australian parents, directed this intriguing and original 1996 film about her Chinese great-great-grandfather. An orphan in 19th-century Hong Kong, he was kidnapped, put to work in a brothel, and taken to San Francisco; there he converted to Christianity, worked as a servant to a Jewish family, and returned to Hong Kong, where he worked for a doctor and eventually became a surgeon. Fleming's approach to this colorful material is extremely playful and ironic, mixing fiction and documentary as she uses both actors (including Kwok Wing Leung, George Chiang) and herself to recount the story in a highly stylized manner. Fleming will attend the screening. Film Center, Art Institute, Columbus Drive at Jackson, Friday, March 20, 8:00, 312-443-3737. –Jonathan Rosenbaum
Ayn Rand: A Sense Of Life
Michael Paxton's 145-minute documentary portrait of the Russian-born novelist (The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged) and philosopher is absorbing but not entirely trustworthy about what it chooses to include and omit from her life. (Her 14-year affair with her young acolyte and intellectual heir, Nathaniel Brandena relationship that ended in acrimonyis accorded only three and a half minutes.) What this film chooses to concentrate on, however, it handles potently: her lifelong hatred of communism and collectivism, her worship of Hollywood (and early acquaintance with Cecil B. De Mille), her romantic predilections, her careers as screenwriter, playwright, and eclectic guru. Paxton ably incorporates original animation, contemporary interviews with friends and associates, and a great deal of archival material (mainly film clips and footage of Rand speaking). Don't expect any critical perspectives on the woman, however; this is hagiography all the way. (JR)… Read more »
The plot of the film delivers a number of satisfying twists and turns, claims Columbia Pictures in a press handout for this crime story set in the Florida Everglades. To ensure that audiences can fully enjoy these surprises, we ask that you please not disclose the events and ending. So let me concentrate, rather, on disclosing the philosophy of the movie, which John McNaughton directed from a screenplay by Stephen Peters. What I'm supposed to find satisfying is predicated on the idea that almost everyone in the world is trash. Unfortunately, when one goes along with this premise, who does what and to whom doesn't matter a whole lot. Maybe the film will keep you amusedand maybe not. Despite the castKevin Bacon, Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Theresa Russell, Robert Wagner, and Bill MurrayI found it preposterous. (JR)… Read more »
A reclusive, old-fashioned, intellectual novelist and widower living in London (John Hurt) stumbles accidentally into a screening of Hotpants College II at his local multiplex and becomes hopelessly, obsessively enamored of one of its young American stars (Jason Priestley). Fan magazines and the purchase of a VCR fail to satisfy his longings, so he travels to the Long Island town where his beloved resides and plots to encounter him in the flesh. This perfectly realized, beautifully acted, sweetly hilarious 1997 first feature by English writer-director Richard Kwietniowski, adroitly adapted from Gilbert Adair's short novel of the same name (a comic variation on Thomas Mann's "Death in Venice"), is a witty, canny meditation on the power of pop culture in general and the rationalizations of cinephilia and film criticism in particular. What makes it perhaps even better than Adair's clever novel, which is somewhat limited by its first-person narration, is the beautiful balance of humane sympathies Kwietniowski achieves; at no point does the foolishness or vanity of either character wipe out our sense of his dignity, and Fiona Loewi is no less touching as the movie star's girlfriend. A "small" film only in appearance, this is as solid and confident as any first feature I've seen this year.… Read more »
Maybe I'm just a sucker for backstage stories about theater people as well as for Thandie Newton (Flirting, Gridlock'd), but this English picture kept me absorbed, happy, and occasionally amused despite its dubious details. Lambert Wilson plays a celebrated London playwright having an affair with an emerging actress (Newton) who's cast in his latest play. As he tries (with little success) to cope with the rage of his wife (Anna Galiena) and the ambivalence of his three children, the play's lead actor (Jon Bon Jovi), a notorious womanizer from the States, offers to seduce the neglected wife. Eventually the playwright is brought face-to-face with his double standard. The dubious details include the play itselfwhich seems awful, but apparently isn't supposed to beand some trumped-up melodramatics toward the end. The uneven John Duigan (The Year My Voice Broke, Flirting, Wide Sargasso Sea, Sirens) directed from a screenplay by his sister Virginia; with Barry Humphries and David Warner. (JR)… Read more »
The only other adaptations I've seen of the Alexandre Dumas novel (which I haven't read) are the Classics Illustrated comic book and the 1939 James Whale potboiler, both of which I prefer to this vulgar and overwrought 1998 free-for-all, which makes you wait interminably for the story's central narrative premise. (The Whale version spills the beans right away.) Written and directed by Randall Wallace (best known as the screenwriter of Braveheart), this starts off as a Three Musketeers sequel, trusting that its hefty cast and fart jokes will keep you interested. But to be fair, the story is close to foolproof once it finally gets going. With Leonardo DiCaprio, Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, Gerard Depardieu, Gabriel Byrne, Anne Parillaud, and Judith Godreche. 132 min. (JR)… Read more »
I've only skimmed the best-selling novel that this is based on, so I can't say precisely how much Elaine May's screenplayproduced and directed by Mike Nicholstakes from it. But something resembling a Brechtian comedy about the Clintons and scandal-ridden politics in general has emerged from the adaptationsomething witty, thoughtful, timely, grandly entertaining, and ultimately very serious about the way presidential campaigns are run. It's no surprise to learn that outside the movie the filmmakers support the Clintons over their enemies; what is surprising for a mainstream movie is that final moral judgments are basically left up to the viewer. (By comparison, Wag the Dog seems like a bit of flip arrogance.) John Travolta is wonderful as Clinton stand-in Jack Stanton, a southern governor running for president, and Emma Thompson as his wife is only a shade less convincing; Adrian Lester adeptly plays the idealistic black political strategist who goes to work for them and leads us into their world. Matching up the others with their real-life (and sometimes not-so-real-life) counterparts is part of the game this movie invites one to play, but whether one recognizes their characters or not, Billy Bob Thornton, Kathy Bates, and Larry Hagman give May's dialogue all the color and nuance it deserves.… Read more »
Not so much a sequel to The Fugitive as a lazy spin-off that imitates only what was boring and artificially frenetic about that earlier thriller; the little that kept it interestingTommy Lee Jones's Oscar-winning inflections, better-than-average directionis nowhere in evidence. Once again Jones plays a marshal bent on capturing a wrongly accused fugitive from justice (Wesley Snipes this time around), though why we're supposed to be interested in or diverted by this fascist bully terrorizing whole sections of Chicago and New York in order to track down his innocent prey escapes me entirely; the character is equally dull as hero and villain, and it's not clear much of the time which he's supposed to be. The usually interesting Robert Downey Jr. is miscast as another government agent, and Irene Jacob as Snipes's lover isn't around long enough to ameliorate the motion sickness. Written (very badly) by John Pogue and directed (if that's the word) by Stuart Baird; with Joe Pantoliano, Daniel Roebuck, and Tom Wood (deputy marshals back from The Fugitive), LaTanya Richardson, and Kate Nelligan.

Playing a widow devoted to the grown son (Johnathon Schaech) who brings his fiancee (Gwyneth Paltrow) back to his family's Kentucky estate, Jessica Lange establishes a spark of interest in this psychological thriller with her giggly demonic performance. But the film never adds up to anything more than an elaborate tease; the writing and directing of Jonathan Darby, a British TV veteran and Hollywood executive, make the proceedings neither believable nor compelling, so what might have been another Rosemary's Baby isn't even a halfway decent genre exercise. With Nina Foch, Debi Mazar, and Hal Holbrook; cowritten by Jane Rusconi. (JR)… Read more »
From the Chicago Reader (March 2, 1998). — J.R.
Probably the Coen brothers' most enjoyable movie — glittering with imagination, cleverness, and filmmaking skill — though, as in their other films, the warm feelings they generate around a couple of salt-of-the-earth types don't apply to anyone else in the cast: you might as well be scraping them off your shoe. The Chandler-esque plot has something to do with Jeff Bridges being mistaken for a Pasadena millionaire, which ultimately involves him as an amateur sleuth in a kidnapping plot. A nice portrait of low-rent LA emerges from this unstable brew, as do two riotous dream sequences. Set during the gulf war and focusing on a trio of dinosaurs — an unemployed pothead and former campus radical (Bridges), a cranky Vietnam vet (John Goodman), and a gratuitous cowboy narrator (Sam Elliott) — this 1998 feature may be the most political Coen movie to date, though I'm sure they'd be the last to admit it. With Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, David Huddleston, John Turturro, and Ben Gazzara. R, 117 min. (JR)… Read more »
A touching and pungent contemporary noir by the same basic team that yielded Nobody's Foolwriter-director Robert Benton, cowriter Richard Russo (this time with an original script rather than an adaptation of his own novel), and septuagenarian actor Paul Newman, glowering with underplayed intensity. Though this movie is as much about aging as the late westerns of Howard Hawks (and evokes in particular the wizened melancholy humor of El Dorado), it also forms a kind of dialectic with Nobody's Fool by focusing on upper-class ties in LA (as opposed to working-class ties in a small town in New York), as well as offering an extended gloss on the novels of Raymond Chandler. Playing a former cop and retired private detective who now occupies the garage apartment of his best friends (Gene Hackman and Susan Sarandon), both former movie stars, Newman gets sucked into a mystery that ultimately tests his various loyalties as well as his own identity. The remainder of the stellar castespecially James Garner, Stockard Channing, Giancarlo Esposito, and Reese Witherspoonplays a significant role in the process. Sturdily constructed and gracefully written, this is a movie that shines. (JR)… Read more »

Hillary Clinton And What Her Candidacy Has Meant To Me
It is important to talk about Hillary Clinton. It is important, even for someone who was not a stakeholder in the U.S elections of 2016, the campaign for which went on for much longer than healthy or necessary.
By Srishti Agnihotri Nov 10, 2016 4 min read
It is important to talk about Hillary Clinton. It is important, even for someone who was not a stakeholder in the U.S elections of 2016, the campaign for which went on for much longer than healthy or necessary. I did watch this election, mesmerized, like the rest of the world. I also watched it with a sense of ambivalence towards Ms Hillary Clinton. This ambivalence eventually grew into reluctant admiration and then something resembling affection.
I had no illusions about her. She was an establishment candidate, with more interventionist policies than someone like me, traditionally sceptical of American intervention in the word, would be comfortable with. But it was evident, from the beginning that she was overwhelmingly qualified, with a wealth of policy experience, and had survived, still standing, (weather-beaten but standing) almost 30 years of non-stop public scrutiny.
But this article is not about that. It is really, a reflection on the personal impact Ms Hillary Clinton's, now unsuccessful, run for the Presidency of the United States of America has meant for me. One may think that it is unusual for an Indian to write this way. What do I have to do with the U.S.A and its elections? What concern is it of mine that the country has elected her rival, who was not her equal in merit, qualifications, grace, dignity, grit, experience, or any reasonable metric on which leaders should be elected?
And yet, this morning, while my WhatsApp buzzed with updates from friends about the election results, I was seething with anger. Her defeat felt oddly personal. Nursing my bile, I wondered at the character lesson her run seemed to have taught me. My first thoughts were that a qualified woman running against an utterly unqualified man, even a man who bragged about sexual assault and talked of banning Muslims from the U.S.A, would still lose.
I did a lot of mental gymnastics. I imagined how Hillary would be received, if she had not committed the unpardonable political miscalculation of being born a woman. I remembered the experiment where identical resumes of candidates named Jennifer and John, were evaluated differently by scientists. Jennifer with the same resume, was perceived as less competent.
I wondered how your her rival would be received if he were a woman. There was no escaping the misogyny. A reversal of gender might have ensured Ms Clinton a landslide victory. But that is rank speculation. Let us focus on stuff that actually happened.
The people of the U.S.A, in their wisdom, have chosen to elect a man who bragged about sexually assaulting women (trigger warning).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8U0IaMsRf4
As a 20 something woman, I do not know how more people did not find that horrifying. Even without going into the merits of the double-digit sexual assault allegations against him, it is undeniable that his words show an utter and callous disregard for women, and their worth as human beings. (I refer of course to 'believe me, she would not be my first choice, 'blood coming out of her wherever', 'miss piggy', 'miss housekeeping', 'dogs' 'pigs' and the other consistent sexist comments ). The sexism, was accompanied by Xenophobia, Islamophobia, and a tendency to mock persons with disabilities, parents of war heroes and prisoners of war. Perhaps nothing summed things up better than the Huffington Post Editor's Note that followed every article on Donald Trump. The note said 'Donald Trump Regularly incites political violence, is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther, who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims- 1.6 billion members of an entire religion- from entering the U.S'. Perhaps the last straw for me, was a tweet by the Indian newspaper Times of India, crediting Mr Trump for "grabbing America by the …"
But when the anger subsided, I decided to write this article, from a less bruised, more affectionate place. I wanted to reflect on Hillary Clinton for a moment. We must all respect the mandate of the people of America, appalling as we find it. But I felt that as a young woman, I must appreciate her, because I am afraid, not enough people will. Young women like me, sometimes, take the battles fought by women like her too much for granted. Today, as a lawyer in India, I go to Courts that are still full of male lawyers. When I see the brightest and the best senior women lawyers of the same Courts, I think with a sense of thrill and awe, at how hard they must have fought over the decades, to make a place for themselves. I reflect with gratitude how they made my life a little easier and blazed trails I could follow. When I hear Hillary Clinton speak, I feel some of the same thrill.
Being fully aware of her flaws, the agonies she has had to go through, and the compromises she made to get where she is, I am grateful for Hillary Clinton. I am grateful for her ambition, and for the fact that she obviously 'cares too much about winning'. For ambition, has too long been the prerogative of men. I appreciate her for making history, and for daring to step into a campaign where she would be subject to incredible vilification, conspiracy theories, and a sexist double standard. In the course of this campaign I read stories about women who were born before women could vote, proudly voting for Hillary Clinton.
But more than anything else Ms Hillary Clinton, should be appreciated for the moments when, I decide to stand up for myself, when I am ambitious, care too much about winning. In those moments, I used to be afraid of being unlikable. Many people are familiar with the exhausting tightrope walk of being smart in a non-threatening way, being ambitious, but not too ambitious. Those who aren't aware of it, can watch this flawless Chimamanda-Beyonce collaboration.
These days, I raise my voice when it has to be raised. I push ahead, when I must. I am less afraid of being seen as career oriented. When the shadow of conditioning falls over my psyche, and a voice whispers to me 'What if they all find you unlikable?' I smile to myself and say, "So what? Look at Hillary Clinton."

By Jason, April 1, 2018 in Let's Talk Cruise!
Like all-inclusive resorts, Caribbean cruises offer many components of a vacation for a single nightly rate. Once you settle on an itinerary and choose your cabin type, you'll get your lodging, daily and nightly entertainment, and three meals a day plus snacks (and drinks like water, coffee, and tea) for one price. If you choose a budget cruise line or a cruise line with lower rates for kids, your cruise itself may even be downright cheap.
If your cruise takes you to Curacao, you won't have to look hard for ways to spend an affordable day in the island's capital of Willemstad. Within walking distance of the cruise port, you'll find the famous city center with its brightly-colored Dutch Caribbean architecture; the Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge, which swings open with much fanfare when ships come into port; and Willemstad's floating market, which features fresh fish and local produce along with locally made wares.
Just a 15-minute taxi ride away, you'll also find the Curacao Sea Aquarium, an affordable place to take the kids for an up-close look at local sea life. Ticket prices for adults are $21, kids ages five-12 are $11, and kids four and under are free. For the price of entry, you'll see local tropical fish and coral, sea lions, rays, turtles, and even sharks.
While Nassau in the Bahamas is known for its famous hotel and water park, Atlantis Paradise Island Resort, you don't have to pay the $161 per adult (or $99 per kid) they charge to spend a day in their water park.
The port of Nassau offers several inexpensive ways to spend the day. It all starts with a free beach you can walk to directly from the cruise port. If you disembark your ship and walk to the right for 20 minutes, you'll wind up on Junkanoo Beach, a local favorite with gorgeous, clear water, powder white sand, chairs for rent, and food and drink stands.
If you don't mind traveling, you can also catch a taxi or Nassau's #10 bus to nearby Cable Beach for a day of fun in the sun. Again, chairs are here for rent and you can bring a picnic or buy street food from local vendors.
While Aruba is not typically considered a cheap travel destination, it can be an affordable option for cruise passengers who have only a day to spend. This is partially because all beaches in Aruba are public and within a short taxi ride of the cruise terminal. And beyond cheap beach days, Aruba does offer some cruise excursions that are more affordable than those on many other islands.
To save money on a relaxing beach day in Aruba, pack a picnic lunch from the ship and head to gorgeous Palm Beach or Arashi Beach, both of which are less than 20 minutes away. You can rent a chair or bring your own umbrella, plus pick up food and drinks from vendors if you don't bring your own.
While San Juan and greater Puerto Rico saw plenty of destruction during hurricanes Irma and Maria, the island nation is already on the mend. Fortunately, most cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean, continue to include San Juan on their itineraries as the city rebuilds and opens more amenities back up for cruisers.
San Juan is a great stop for budget-minded cruise passengers, mostly because of the beauty and history you'll find freely on display. You can tour historic Old San Juan, which was founded in 1521 by Ponce de Leon. Marvel at the brightly-colored 16th and 17th century houses, as well as local sites like Christopher Columbus Square and the Governor's Mansion. You can also visit the city's two famous forts, Fort El Morro and Fort San Cristobal, for a small entry fee of $5. Kids 15 and under are free.
Since all beaches in Grand Cayman are public, this cruise port can be an affordable place to stop, despite the island's pricey reputation. Within just 15 minutes by taxi, you can arrive at either the world famous Seven Mile Beach or Smith's Cove, a public enclave known for its amazing snorkeling.
On Seven Mile Beach, the Governor's Beach section offers ample parking and access to some of the clearest waters in the world. The area called Public Beach (though, as we said, they are all public) on Seven Mile Beach offers more amenities than Governor's Beach, with a child's play area, restrooms, showers, and even floating trampolines and other water toys during high season.
Grand Cayman's most popular shore excursion, a trip to swim with stingrays at Stingray City, is also more affordable than you might expect. For around $40 per person ages five and up (kids four and under are free), you'll be picked up from the cruise port and whisked away to Stingray City to wade in waist-high waters with stingrays. Once in the water, you can pet the majestic creatures and get your picture taken holding one.
It's true - cruise fares are not all inclusive. But by pre-purchasing beverage packages and extras and prepaying gratuities in advance, you can in a way create one. Good points about cheap ports. A local taxi at many ports in the Caribbean can take you where you want to go or give you a tour, as well, far cheaper than the cruise line excursion.
Have been to all except Curacao. Would love to go there...it looks so clean and pretty with all the colored homes. When we cruised to some of these places we usually did just get off the ship and catch a taxi or tour van that just took us pretty much anywhere we wanted. Always was fun and we could stop anytime and anywhere we wanted...just ask what they charge when you get in the cab or van. There are usually quite a few tour cabs and vans waiting for the people to get off the ship. If it's in Jamaica you are told to not get on one without a red license...but that was years ago and may have changed...always good to check into things to be safe.

What do you think – True or False?
2. While preparing for a job interview, put yourself in the interviewer's shoes to see things from their perspective.
3. Role playing to prepare for typical interview questions is really important.
5. A job interview is a one-direction conversation, like on a talk show.
6. Interviewers are like dogs; they can smell my fear.
7. The "real me" will shine through whether I'm dressed in pajamas or a suit.
8. Sending a thank you note is an important way of standing out.
9. Making demands for your ideal salary and vacation in the initial interview is a risky proposition.
10. It doesn't matter if I'm 5 minutes late. Everyone runs late to interviews.
C.J. Liu (professional coach) has provided some comments on these statements in a Payscale blog post. While this is an American blog – from my experience the observations made in this blog post are also relevant for the Australian job-seeking environment. It is worth noting that where an organisation recruits on merit (eg public sector roles), sending a thank you note is unlikely to have an effect on your chances of winning a role.
If you work for an organisation that recruits on 'merit' (most publically funded organisations), you will generally be required to go through a competitive selection process to win a promotion. For some people this means applying for a job that they have been doing or 'acting-in' for months. Here are some tips to help you secure a promotion.
· don't assume that the way the job has been done in the past is the way that your Company still wants it to be done. Ask the same questions that your competitors will be asking of the job selection contact person (e.g. Do you anticipate any major changes in the short and medium term? What are the key challenges that this position will need to address over the next 2 years?).
· do not rest on your laurels. You will be competing with talented people who have put a lot of effort into researching and preparing for the selection process.
· being interviewed by people you know can be disconcerting. Do not assume that because you are known by the selection panel that they will fill in any gaps. You have to demonstrate and describe fully your experiences and actions, just like your competitors.
· do not use the 'I'm too busy to write a good application' or 'I'm not good at interviews' as an excuse. Find the time for things that are important, and get some assistance with interview practice.
If you have been doing a great job, and you are well prepared, you can go into a selection process with confidence.
