My understanding is that this is an unqualified "yes". The issue is the safe-harbor guidelines need to be adhered to. This means the earlier of annual *or* material event. Remember that part of the 409a review is going to look at external factors (comparables, the market, etc), and those do change independent of your business.
However, you don't need one (to the best of my knowledge) if you aren't issuing any options, as there is nothing to protect with the safe harbor.
Keith is correct in his response. If a company does not have a 409A appraisal of their stock, and if the IRS believes the option price of stock is less than its fair market value, the tax payer (option-holder who excised the shares) has the burden to prove otherwise. Board of directors should be concerned about subjecting employees and service providers with significant penalties and interest.
4 Though there may be perception of 'no change in the business,' this thinking is at least suspect, if not flawed. Is every customer relationship identical? every competitor the same? market position unchanged? Are the capital market conditions identical?
Rather than treating with benign neglect, better to provide valuation/status update, even though overall valuation conclusion may be same.
Stephen's reasons are all great and nobody can argue against them as being desirable, other than on the basis of cost in relation to risk. If significant option grants are made to Directors and officers, I believe this may be far more likely to trigger a challenge than small grants made to regular employees.
There are a number of 409A valuation sources out there I have seen priced from $1,000 to $10,000, with no clear evidence that the price is directly proportional to quality. When the risk is low, cheaper 409A valuations are easier to make!
By the way, I recently came a cross a Stock Option Agreement in which the section alerting the employee to his 409A problems and responsibilities were made very very clear. I would have expected prospective grantees to have been so scared by the risk and penalty potential that they may even question accepting the options.
Apart from the impact of the general economic situation and reduced liquidity potential, do we have any evidence that suggests stock options are being used less and less as a form of compensation due to the risks and costs of Option plans under 409A?
Simon; not that I have seen. 123(r) yes, for profitable companies especially, but not 409A. In a start-up scenario, you might personally feel that taking a 30% salary hit in exchange for options is a good deal. In such an event, the company takes a 123(r) hit, but from a cash standpoint the single employee taking significantly less salary more than makes up for the cost of the appraisal.
Note further, if the 123(r) valuation is even close to being accurate, then it is a wash where you've traded cash comp for stock comp and landed at a similar expense figure (while preserving all-important cash).
A more mature company may (and, to the extent I've seen, many have) decide that the employees do not consider options to be comp, so for them it is not a wash, and they eliminate the extra expense by eliminating the options.
Final point on this diatribe: I'm officially a 123(r) convert. I did think it was a silly idea previously, but the change in behavior I've seen is pretty telling. I now don't think that people really understood that shareholders were, in essence paying out of their own pockets for all those options. That they are less-often paying by granting options in a post 123(r) world...it doesn't say much for the idea that markets are efficient, but does say, to me, that 123(r) was the right call.

The 1973 release Vagabonds of the Western World, the third studio album by Thin Lizzy, is a cohesive collection of original style and substance by this group from Ireland. The songs are presented in a range of rock sub-styles from British style blues-rock to their own style of Irish folk rock with some slight psychedelic and jazz tinged numbers. The album would prove to be the high water mark for the original trio of Phil Lycott (bass, vocals), Eric Bell (guitars) and Brian Downey (drums, percussion).
The surprise success of the "Whiskey In the Jar" single gave Thin Lizzy a larger recording budget and studio time to record Vagabonds of the Western World. The album was recorded in London during the summer of 1973 and was co-produced by Lynott and Nick Tauber.
The album starts with the excited slide guitar over thumping rhythms on "Mama Nature Said". Here Lynott's raspy vocals add a further sonic level to this fun stomp with an obvious environmental lyrical overtone. "The Hero and the Madman" begins with an odd spoken intro provided by guest Kid Jensen over the music built on bass and drums rhythm along with Bell's guitar finely floating in a wah-wah like haze before exploding into an astronomical closing guitar lead. "Slow Blues" is an aptly titled track by Downey and Lynott with several distinct sections, including a funk-based verse and a folksy/psychedelic mid-section.
"The Rocker" is the only track on the original album credited to all three group members and this thematic track may be the record's most indelible. Here, the guitar and bass lock in for a fine series of riffs and pretty much all of the final three minutes of the song are reserved for an extended guitar lead. The title song begin's with the traditional Irish greeting "Tora Lora Lora" over Downey's floor tom beat. Eventually, "Vagabond of the Western World" breaks into moderate but dramatic verse and more straightforward choruses.
"Little Girl in Bloom" features cool, odd beats and some overlapping vocals and fine harmonies, all provided by Lynott. The song is built mainly on pairs of bass notes that make it simple but very original until about three minutes in when the complete rhythm kicks in with a bit of guitar harmonizing, a preview the sound of Thin Lizzy in future years. "Gonna Creep Up on You" is another basic but interesting rocker, leading to the album's original closer, "A Song for While I'm Away". This unique track is vocally like a sixties pop ballad complete with strings and orchestration but with strong drum rhythms that are much harder rocking and give it a duplicate sound. When the album was later released for CD, four additional tracks were added including, "Whiskey In the Jar", the Zeppelin-esque riff-driven blues rocker "Black Boys on the Corner", the rock/reggae/bosa nova fusion of "Randolph's Tango", and the heavy blues rocker "Broken Dreams".
Just a few months after the release of Vagabonds of the Western World, Bell abruptly left the band citing ill-health and disillusionment with the music industry. Thin Lizzy used several guitarists in the subsequent years before forging their signature dual-lead sound that brought them to even higher fame in the mid 1970s.
Part of Classic Rock Review's celebration of 1973 albums.
After a long musical journey which included style shifts, various lineup changes and five less-than-commercially successful albums, Thin Lizzy finally broke through in 1976 with Jailbreak. This quasi-concept record has an overlying theme about a figure simply known as "The Warrior" breaking away from the despotic "Overmaster" to lead the oppressed masses in a dystopian-shattering revolution. But the real beauty of this album is tilted far more towards its sound than its lyrics, as Thin Lizzy had fully mastered the the crisp, harmonized guitar attack with much rhythmic movement to complement the distinctive, barked-out lead vocals of composer and front-man Phil Lynott.
Thin Lizzy was founded in Dublin in 1969 when Lynott and drummer Brian Downey left their group Orphanage to form a new band with musicians formally from the band Them. In 1971, the group relocated to London but the musical style remained distinctly Celtic with lyrics strongly referencing Dublin and surrounding areas. In 1972, Thin Lizzy's version of a traditional Irish ballad, "Whiskey in the Jar" was a smash hit in their native Ireland and reached the Top 10 in the UK. However, album sales did not follow suit and after, the departures of several guitarists, Lynott decided to morph the group's sound towards harder rock and recruited Scott Gorham and then-18-year-old Brian Robertson for a double lead-guitar attack starting with the 1975 album, Fighting.
However, the record label was growing impatient with lackluster sales and gave Thin Lizzy one final chance to produce a commercially successful album. With producer John Alcock, the band extensively composed, rehearsed and recorded tracks over the winter of 1975-76, developing a tight arrangement on each of Jailbreak's nine track.
The opening title track, "Jailbreak", is a pure hard rock song of action with timeless theme of escape. It musically builds tension a bit during verses, setting up a satisfying chorus release, and contains other cool distinctions ranging from the corny alarm section under the bridge to the cool lyrical nod to Robert Johnson's "Hellhound on My Trail". Co-written by Robertson, "Angel From the Coast" picks up where the opener left off and accelerates with much movement in the hyper-funk lead riff and rhythm. This song features exceptional drumming by Downey with great rudiments throughout by the entire band and the soaring, harmonized lead precedes a rapid funk chord effect by the two guitars in an extended bridge jam.
"Running Back" was the album's most controversial track, internally. Intended as the lead single from the album, Lynott and Alcock brought in session keyboardist Tim Hinkley to add more "pop" elements. This was done against the objections of Robertson, who had played a large role in the original arrangement, including his own additions of piano and bottleneck guitar, and Robertson ultimately did not play on the album version of this song. Although a bit tacky lyrically, "Romeo and the Lonely Girl" features a pleasant music mix with acoustic backing the blues/jazz electric guitar, animated drums and a later piercing guitar lead. The dramatic "Warriors" was co-written by Gorham and is the hardest rocker on the album, employing some mid seventies-style heavy metal with just a tad of punk, adding to the overall sonic diversity of the album.
The original second side of Jailbreak is where the true musical gems are found. "The Boys Are Back in Town" is, by far, the most distinctive Thin Lizzy song. It features interesting chord progressions during the verses, a brilliantly simple chorus hook and one of the most indelible rock riffs ever put to record as Gorham and Robertson perfectly harmonize their guitars during the post-chorus breaks. Lyrically, the song originated as a tribute to a returning vet from Vietnam but later morphed as a sort of party anthem dedicated to any number of traveling heroes. Although the song was not a tremendous charting hit upon its original release, it has been used countless times at sporting events, in movies, on television and as a permanent fixture on classic rock radio all over the world. In contrast to the preceding popular upbeat number, "Fight Or Fall" is quite mellow and laid back with acoustic guitar and subtle electric overtones, but with a still steady and upbeat rhythm by Lynott and Downey. This fine track is divided by slight rudimentary breaks between the verses and features a bit of American soul added to the ending section.
"Cowboy Song" starts as a subtle, Western ballad with Lynott's bass imitating a trotting horse. But soon breaks into a riff-driven hard rocker, especially with the infectious riff which builds to triple harmonized guitars, post lead section. The final verse cools with just bass and drums, before this all explodes into a blistering, blues/rock guitar lead later in the song. The album concludes with "Emerald", a strong rocker in tribute to Irish heritage and one more thematic "fight" against invaders, with dueling guitars to nicely symbolize the battle and rebellion. This closing track is also notable as the only composition on this album credited to all four band members.
Jailbreak was the group's first Gold album and it set them up for subsequent success in the years that followed. However, a bit of the commercial tailcoats were severed when both Lynott and Robertson suffered ailments and injuries which caused large parts of the 1976 tours to be cancelled and expedited the production of the group's follow-up album, Johnny the Fox.
Perhaps the last great classic album by Thin Lizzy, the 1979 release Black Rose: A Rock Legend, peaked at number 2 on the U.K. album charts, making it the band's most successful album commercially. Produced by Tony Visconti, the rich sound established on the group's previous albums continues and is built upon by the eclectic songwriting of lead vocalist and bassist Phil Lynott. Thin Lizzy has been hailed as the first true rock band from Ireland, and Lynott took this privilege seriously by composing several songs through their career which were rooted in Irish tradition, starting with the famous Irish traditional folk song, "Whiskey in the Jar", which was Thin Lizzy's first charting hit in 1972. On Black Rose, the closing title song contains a seamless medley of Irish standards and Celtic mythology, presented within a top-notch rock arrangement that makes this album one of a kind.
Thin Lizzy recorded their commercial breakthrough, Jailbreak, in 1976. On this album, the group established their signature twin guitar sound with guitarists Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham and the success of the album saw the group touring alongside bands Like Aerosmith and Rush. However, Lynott contracted hepatitis and the tour had to be cancelled. The following tour was again cancelled, this time when Robertson got a hand injury resulting from a drunken brawl, which ultimately resulted in artery and nerve damage. The 1977 album, Bad Reputation, was recorded as a trio, but Robertson did rejoin the band for the critically acclaimed Live and Dangerous in 1978. However, the strain between Robertson and Lynott ultimately resulted in the guitarist being replaced by blues-inspired journeyman Gary Moore.
Lynott and Moore had played together in a band called Skid Row in the late sixties right before Lynott formed Thin Lizzy. In 1974 Moore briefly joined Thin Lizzy during a tour in 1974 and was a replacement for Robertson during a tour in 1977. Black Rose saw the first actual recording to feature Moore, who offered a shredding contrast to Gorham's more traditional style, but advanced the dual guitar sound to a level not seen by the band before or after.
A long drum roll introduces the unique composition "S & M", which is driven by flange-drenched rapid funk music and starkly brutal lyrics. This track was co-written by drummer Downey, who provides a consistent shuffle throughout and also adds a slight drum solo later. "Waiting for an Alibi" is pure upbeat rock and probably the best constructed pop/rock track on the first side. The first single released from Black Rose, the song features further harmonized guitars by Moore and Gorham and well-crafted, poetic lyrics by Lynott. "Sarah" completes side one as a ballad with slightly Latin rhythms dedicated to Lynott's then-newborn first daughter. This song sounds different than anything else on the album due to the instrumental arrangement and additional session musicians, including a pre-fame journeyman harmonica player called Huey Lewis. Moore's fine, sharply contrasting lead guitar after the second verse/chorus temporarily brings the song back into the hard rock realm.
"With Love" is a desperate song with a dark feel overall where guest bassist Jimmy Bain supplies a boogie bass pattern under the dualing lead guitars. The closing "Róisín Dubh (Black Rose): A Rock Legend" is a wild Irish rock odyssey by Lynott and Moore where everyone in the band is at the top of their game performance-wise. Consisting of a blend of traditional songs fused together by original riffs, Rolling Stone recently called this "the best Irish rock song of all time". Completing the tribute to the Emerald Isle, Lynott name-drops some famous Irish artists during the improvised outro, including James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, and Van Morrison.
While Black Rose was a critical and commercial success, Thin Lizzy could never quite ride the success as their bad luck continued when Moore abruptly left the band later in 1979. The band recorded three more studio albums to mediocre receptions before Thin Lizzy's breakup in 1983. Tragically, Lynott died three years later due to complications from substance abuse, solidifying this album as the group's final masterpiece.

I am a big fan of Aveeno. I have very dry skin and this brand works on me. The giveaway is awesome, I might actually join.
I need to check out Aveeno. I've heard they have some amazing products! Thanks for sharing.
Life's unscripted moments are the most precious. So many of my best times with our daughters have arisen from impromptu activities and I treasure those moments so much!
This looks like a wonderful campaign 🙂 I remember using Aveeno from the time I was young – my Grandma always had it!
We are big fans of Aveeno, it is great to help take care of your skin. This sounds like a fun campaign.
What a fun contest. Unscripted moments are definitely the most fun. I use Aveeno all the time!
My youngest uses Aveeno exclusively due to skin problems he has. We love their products! Thanks for the contest info!

I love how gentle Aveeno is, especially on people with sensitive skin. This is a great campaign.
I personally love how unscripted or unplanned photos come out. It is fun capturing special moments of my children.
i just love aveeno!!! Here in WNY blasting the heat all winter is horrible for skin. I always buy aveeno lotion and it helps deal with my dry skin!
Such a great content! I love your Instax case. We don't carry our around very much but probably would more with this.

This is such an amazing giveaway indeed. I love the phone lenses and the scarf camera case is just gorgeous. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
This is a great campaign. I once sat with a friend in a bar in Hong Kong, and the two girls beside us were snapping selflies with their iPhone camera timer — for 20 minutes. They would laugh and smile as the pics were taken and then do it all over again. They weren't even talking to each other or enjoying the live music. I told my friend, if they actually had a conversation, they wouldn't have to fake their laughter for Instagram!
I love Aveeno. It's the only product I use for my body and skin. I love this campaign because there is such pressure to "appear" perfect via social media and there is a lot of planning that goes along with that perfection. Unscripted moments are definitely the best.
Wow — I'm looking forward to seeing some of the pictures that are submitted. We love Aveeno at our house. Use it all the time.
Congrats on being an Aveeno ambassador. They have the really effective beauty products.

Ireland Falls By Mrs Vera West
Ireland, once a Catholic country, has now accepted abortion "rights":
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/05/26/irish-voters-say-yes-abortion/
"Ireland's campaign to save the country's Eighth Amendment, which bans abortion, is conceding it has lost Friday's referendum by a landslide. The people of Ireland "weighed it in the balance and it came down on one side. I obviously would have preferred if they had come down on the other," John McGuirk, communications director for the "Save the 8th" campaign, told national broadcaster RTE, according to Reuters. "There is no prospect of the (abortion rights) legislation not being passed," McGuirk added. Many who voted in favor of repeal are crying "tears of joy" with the prospect of abortion access in their country."

Migration Mania By James Reed
With mass migration comes all of the good things of diversity such as corruption and scandals, before we even get to the migrants:
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/12344/germany-asylum-scandal
"Germany's Federal Office for Refugees and Migration (Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge, BAMF) will review more than 25,000 asylum decisions after allegations of corruption at its regional office in the northern city of Bremen. Interior Minister Horst Seehofer announced the audit after it emerged that a former official at BAMF's Bremen branch allegedly accepted cash bribes in exchange for granting asylum to at least 1,200 refugees who did not meet the necessary criteria. Five others, including three lawyers, an interpreter and an intermediary, are also being investigated."
Fear of Arrows By John Steele
Fair enough; the elites and inner city chatterers fear guns and other phallic symbols, but isn't it drawing a long bow, to be against, well, long bows?
https://www.naturalnews.com/2018-05-17-stupid-democrats-want-to-ban-archery-because-they-claim-it-promotes-gun-culture.html
"New York Democrat Linda Rosenthal has introduced new legislation that would completely eliminate all shooting sports from New York schools, effectively disallowing students from using any form of equipment that launches any kind of projectile, which Rosenthal believes contributes to the spread of "gun culture." Because she doesn't like guns, Rosenthal naturally has a negative view towards the culture that surrounds their use in the United States. And if she gets her wish, New York school students will be forced to live as she does, as they will no longer be allowed to play laser tag, shoot Airsoft guns, or even participate in archery clubs at school, as all of these programs can lead to "violence," in Rosenthal's view.
The Police State By Charles Taylor

Battle Station Soon By James Reed
I have been reporting on evidence of the accelerating movement to World War III, in my last article quoting Chinese sources that China is already on a war footing. The latest piece of evidence:
http://gazette.com/mattis-tells-air-force-academy-graduating-class-your-primary-weapons-system-now-is-your-attitude/article/1626487
"The 984 graduates at the Air Force Academy on Wednesday got an unedited introduction to the difficult world they now face as new officers. The graduation's keynote speaker, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, told the group they will see battle soon. And they will be expected to win every fight. "Your primary weapons system now is your attitude," Mattis said. That's no surprise to the Class of 2018, all of whom have spent the majority of their lives in a nation at war. But having war as a daily backdrop isn't enough to condition troops for how tough those fights can be when you're in the middle of them, Mattis said. "Always be ready to fight and win," Mattis said. "There is no room for complacency."
Massacres in Australia: Not by Gun By John Steele
After the school shootings in the US, the globalist gun banning tribe have been squawking about how Australia is free from the US "disease" because of Johnny Howard's gun ban. But, a little more research dispels the myth that Australia has avoided massacres. What has changed is only the weapons used, and of course the methodology, used to define and record such "massacres." Drug-related shooting where there are less that four victims killed or wounded are not counted, thus keeping the statistic tidy. Put in such drug and gangland killings and wounding, and so-called gun free Australia starts to look like the US in certain regions. Parts of Sydney are warzones already:

There have been massacres to match recent US shootings, only involving other weapons, such as the Cairns child massacre, where 8 children were killed with a knife, the Quaker Hill Nursing home arson in Australia that killed 14 and the Lin killings in which the assailant used a hammer to kill 5 people:

Sex Slavery in the Netherlands By Tom North
The mass grooming and raping of British children seems to be merely a part of the rape of Europe, with a similar event happening in the Netherlands:
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/05/the-netherlands-1400-underage-dutch-girls-forced-into-sex-slavery-by-migrant-background-males
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/05/22/underage-dutch-sex-slavery-foreign-pimps/
"Every year more than one thousand underage Dutch girls are groomed and then blackmailed into sex slavery by young pimps with migrant backgrounds, an investigation has revealed. With gifts, drink, and drugs, so-called 'loverboys' will seduce a girl into agreeing to become his sex partner before taking pictures or video footage of the encounter which will then be used as leverage to force her into prostitution, Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad reports. "These men are mostly Moroccans, Turks, Caribbeans, and Roma. The lion's share of them have a migrant background," said Gideon van Aartsen from Watch Nederland, an initiative which coordinates with the nation's police on efforts to fight child sexual exploitation (CSE).
Dhimmitude in Germany By Richard Miller
The term "dhimmitude" refers to the existence of non-Muslims living under an Islamic system, as Germany and much of Europe is fast becoming:
https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Dhimmitude_(definition)
https://www.amazon.com.au/Strange-Death-Europe-Immigration-Identity/dp/1472942248
Part of the alleged dhimmitude social contract, that the Left think exists, is that if they defend Islam, they will get cool positions in the new regime. Hence the following;

It is good to see a wee bit of good news in this time of the dark days of the rule of Mordor. Thus, in Italy:
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/05/21/new-italian-government-eurosceptic-anti-mass-migration-coalition-agreed/
"Coalition partner party leaders will go to the Quirinal Palace Monday evening to meet with Sergio Mattarella, the Italian President, to officially form a populist, Eurosceptic government which has prompted panicked headlines across the continent. The emergence of the League ('La Lega', northern Italy, tax-reforming, anti-mass migration) and Five Star (southern Italy, anti-establishment) coalition follows months of hard-fought negotiations since the national elections in early March.
The Slow Death of America By Charles Taylor
America is slowly dying and I see it here every day in my home city of Tallahassee, Florida. I cannot imagine what it would be like living in a city such as Baltimore, which is essentially a warzone. Yet, leaving crime to one side, it is economic decline, contrary to Trump, which is evident, everywhere:
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-05-21/when-43-americans-cant-pay-food-and-rent-we-can-safely-say-economic-collapse-here
https://www.theorganicprepper.com/americans-rent-food-economic-collapse/
"You know all those reports about how lots of Americans can't afford a $1000 surprise expense like a medical bill or a car repair? Well, forget additional expenses. It turns out that nearly half of the families in America are struggling to pay for food and rent. And that means that the economic collapse isn't just "coming." It's HERE. United Way has done a study on a group of Americans they call ALICE: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. The study found that this group does not make the money needed "to survive in the modern economy." ALICE is your child care worker, your parent on Social Security, the cashier at your supermarket, the gas attendant, the salesperson at your big box store, your waitress, a home health aide, an office clerk. ALICE cannot always pay the bills, has little or nothing in savings, and is forced to make tough choices such as deciding between quality child care or paying the rent. One unexpected car repair or medical bill can push these financially strapped families over the edge.
Genital Mutilation is Now Just Part of British Multiculturalism By Peter West
Contrary to all the textbooks pushed in social sciences courses to brainwash the young at universities, multiculturalism is not about ethnic diversity within the existing liberal-democratic framework. Multiculturalism, after mass immigration gets past a critical point, becomes changing the system and replacing the previous majority with a new majority, and tossing out institutions like the liberal/democratic rule of law, and replacing them with something new and sinister, a "rough beast," to use William Butler Yeat's phrase, that we have not clearly seen yet. It does not happen overnight, but it is the inevitability of Fabian gradualism:
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/05/21/report-slams-uk-failure-prosecute-fgm-abuse-europe/
"A report has slammed the "national scandal" of the UK failing to prosecute a single child abuser committing or enabling Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), saying it shows the system is failing to fight the practice, which is associated with some migrant groups. The document, produced by the Quilliam Foundation, claims "Britain remains alone in Europe in its inability to prosecute FGM" and examines different explanations, including "a lack of witnesses", "cultural sensitivity", and the "existence of legal loopholes". It highlights figures showing that, in 2016-2017 alone, 5,391 new cases of FGM were recorded in the UK, but authorities failed to bring a single perpetrator of FGM to justice. Altogether, around 9,000 women sought National Health Service (NHS) help because of the practice in that 12 month period."

Pope: God Makes People Gay; But Does He Make Popes Communists? By Peter West
I knew it, I just knew it! The Pope would say something bloody stupid just about now, and he did not disappoint me, because I am beyond disappointment:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-god-made-gay-homosexuality-vatican-catholic-church-sex-abuse-chile-juan-carlos-cruz-a8360421.html
"A victim of clerical sex abuse has said Pope Francis told him God made him gay and his sexuality "does not matter". Juan Carlos Cruz spoke privately with the pontiff last week about the abuse he suffered at the hands of a prominent Chilean priest. After his sexuality came up in conversation, Francis reportedly told him: "Juan Carlos, that you are gay does not matter. God made you like that and loves you like this and I don't care. The Pope loves you like this. You have to be happy with who you are." The comments are arguably the most explicit acceptance of homosexuality publicly spoken by a head of the Roman Catholic church, which teaches that gay sex is a sin."
China Set to Rule the Waves By James Reed
Hands up who can see how the West will end? It could be by ethnic explosion, immigration implosion, or China will just rise and crush all before it:
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/05/21/expert-china-navy-double-us-2030/
"China's navy is on track to be double the size of the United States' by 2030, which puts U.S. interests at risk in the Asia Pacific and around the world, a U.S. military expert testified at a recent congressional hearing. "The future size of the [People's Liberation Army] Navy will be about 550 warships and submarines by 2030. That is twice the size of today's U.S. Navy," said Retired U.S. Navy Capt. James Fanell at a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Thursday. "As such, it's clear the U.S. Navy is at great risk. We simply are not adequately sized or outfitted to meet our national security commitments in the Indo-Asia Pacific, let alone around the globe," said Fanell, former director of intelligence and information operations for the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet. Fanell said the Chinese navy, or PLAN, currently consists of about 400 warships — at least 330 surface ships and 66 submarines. Meanwhile, he said the U.S. Navy has 283 warships — 211 surface ships and 72 submarines." So, China is set to rule the waves.
Let's Talk about the Coming EMP By John Steele
I am not aware of any interest, outside of this site about the EMP (electromagnetic pulse) issue in Australia. With the threat of a war with China fast approaching, ordinary people should be aware that EMP attacks, by exploding an atomic bomb in the atmosphere, have the capacity to knock society back to a pre-electric era, by destroying unprotected electronics, and that is a lot of the modern world: There is some discussion of this issue in the US, where, unlike Australia, the issue is being taken seriously:
http://readynutrition.com/resources/emp-commission-warns-of-year-long-blackout-and-a-massive-death-toll_14052018/
http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/emp-commission-warns-of-year-long-blackout-and-a-massive-death-toll_05102018
"A federal EMP commission report warns that even the smallest EMP attack on our grid system would down it for about a year, if not longer. A year-long blackout would certainly be coupled with a massive death toll that would devastate entire populations. The so-called EMP Commission report said that this threat is very real, jeopardizes "modern civilization," and would set back living conditions to those last seen in the 1800s. As a result of the chaos, millions would likely die, according to the report titled "Assessing the Threat from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP)," from the recently re-established Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack.
The End of Britishness By Peter West
The British new class elites, as seen in the example of the BBC, have viewed the recent Royal wedding as showing that there is nothing essentially white about Britishness, that Africans can be just as British as those who trace their ancestors back to the Saxons, for example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chyAlmoZLGA
Of course, this cultural nihilism is not extended to, say, the African migrants, or Muslims, who do have a culture, and an absolutely fab one at that. How then is this double standard justified? In short, it is not because these elites now rule so there is nothing to justify because they make the rules. These elites are the same sorts of creatures who see nothing at all wrong with modern London:

The Left Defends the Most Vicious Gangs on Earth By Charles Taylor
Let us catch this one before, like most pollution, it just disappears into the environment, making the world a wee bit more toxic:
http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2018/05/17/journalists-admit-trump-called-ms-13-animals-still-declare-label-racist/
http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/05/17/celebrities-freak-after-trump-calls-ms-13-gangsters-animals/
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/05/17/nancy-pelosi-on-trump-calling-ms-13-gang-members-animals-does-he-not-believe-in-the-spark-of-divinity/
http://www.breitbart.com/video/2018/05/17/tucker-carlson/
"Left-wing journalists conceded on Thursday that President Donald Trump had referred to MS-13, not immigrants in general, as "animals," but still argued that Trump was racist — or that he was to blame for their own failures to provide accurate context." Well, what has this violent Latino gang got up to that the left are defending, remembering that much of the left still defends the communist revolution?
Chinese Mass Indoctrination Camps: Coming to a Quiet Suburb Near You? By James Reed
This item tells of the creation of Chinese mass indoctrination camps in the US. First, one needs to know what an "indoctrination camp" actually is. Here is the good old New York Post to enlighten us:
https://nypost.com/2018/05/17/inside-chinas-new-mass-indoctrination-camps/
"Hour upon hour, day upon day, Omir Bekali and other detainees in far western China's new indoctrination camps had to disavow their Islamic beliefs, criticize themselves and their loved ones and give thanks to the ruling Communist Party. When Bekali, a Kazakh Muslim, refused to follow orders each day, he was forced to stand at a wall for five hours at a time. A week later, he was sent to solitary confinement, where he was deprived of food for 24 hours. After 20 days in the heavily guarded camp, he wanted to kill himself. Chinese authorities in the heavily Muslim region of Xinjiang have ensnared tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of Muslim Chinese – even foreign citizens – in mass internment camps.
European Sex Crime Update By Richard Miller
Sex crimes in Europe have become as common as popular sports, perhaps. But, to take one example, say Finland, a place that we don't hear too much about, who is committing these crimes?
https://gellerreport.com/2018/05/sex-finland-migrants.html/
https://voiceofeurope.com/2018/05/93-of-migrant-sex-crimes-in-finland-are-committed-by-migrants-from-islamic-countries-study/
https://www.alandsnyheter.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Polamk_rap129_verkko.pdf
"An investigation into Finland's police data by the country's police academy, shows that 131 Finnish citizens became victims of sex crimes committed by asylum seekers in the year 2016. A total of 1052 asylum seekers were suspected of crimes in 2016 and virtually all were men, who together represented 29 nations. Two thirds were Iraqis and the age of the suspects was evenly distributed. Finnish women were victims in 8 out of 10 cases committed by mostly Muslim asylum seekers: 108 out of 116 suspects of sexual offenses came from Islamic countries like Iraq (83), Afghanistan (14) or Morocco (6). Almost half of sexual offenses were committed against Finnish girls under the age of 18 of which some were seeking men to access tobacco and drugs, the study says. Among the sexual offenses that asylum seekers were suspected of rape is the most common, with 32% of the reports. Almost one in 7 cases, or 16%, were about was gang rape and another 16% of the reports were for sexual harassment. 3 out of 5 sexual assault with asylum seekers as suspected offenders occurred in public places, 1 in 5 in private homes, 1 in 10 at refugee centres and 1 in 4 in unknown places."
All the Vibrancy of the Royal Wedding By Peter West
I imagine that there may be one or two peole who feel a little uncomfortable about the choice of partner that Prince Harry made: Meghan Markle, a 36-year old divorced multiracial actress. And, they married on the same date that Henry VIII had Anne Boleyn's head chopped off, surely a good omen:
https://www.livescience.com/62612-royal-wedding-boleyn-beheading.html#?utm_source=ls-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=05202018-ls
This is a wedding which the Queen approved, perhaps because she had no choice. As the establishment papers have been pouring out, this brings Britain into the 21st century. Welcome to their world, not your world, or that of your ancestors, which is being quickly dismantled in the New World Order, or is it Disorder. Yes, accepting mass immigration which has transformed many British cities into non-white majority enclaves, is not enough, for every institution must be deconstructed. Expect some future Royal wedding to push the agenda further with the first gay marriage. Then transgender, then whatever the elites are pushing next. What about a Muslim Royal? Why Not? It would be racist not to, surely?

Another Gem for the Gun Banners By Charles Taylor
Yes, another shooting here in the US. It was getting near the time when one would expect the Deep State to either rollout another psy-ops, or alternatively, for some kid on Big Pharma meds, to flip a switch and go mad:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/santa-fe-high-school-shooting-suspect-idd-as-dimitrios-pagourtzis-live-updates-today-2018-5-18/
"The suspect in a Friday's deadly Texas high school shooting has been identified as 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said 10 people were killed and 10 others wounded in the shooting Friday morning at Santa Fe High School south of Houston. The suspected shooter, who was in custody, also had explosive devices, including a molotov cocktail, that were found in the school and nearby, said Gov. Greg Abbott, who called the assault "one of the most heinous attacks that we've ever seen in the history of Texas schools." Police found pressure cookers and pipe bombs around the school, one law enforcement source told CBS News.

THE LEAGUE'S FREEDOM CAMPAIGN
No political movement can exist in a moral vacuum, and Australians have traditionally accepted that it is the Christian Faith that generated our heritage of representative government. While the League maintains a small full-time staff primarily motivated by Christian service, it is the extensive network of volunteers from all walks of life who form the backbone of the Movement.
The League of Rights seeks to help create a body of dedicated men and women who serve not for their own material gain, but as custodians of those truths and values which must form the basis of all successful efforts to defeat the enemies of human dignity and freedom.
The League encourages and equips individuals to independently exercise their own initiative in the service of freedom.

What we do in emergency relief
After natural disasters people in the affected regions are often left with nothing. Earthquakes, flooding or storms quickly destroy whole regions and livelihoods. In the event of armed conflicts, the civil population suffers above all from violence and lack of food and medical care. Immediate aid and emergency relief try to mitigate the consequences of crises.
The consequences of disasters and armed conflicts destroy the livelihoods of a great number of people. They destroy whole regions and with them basic food resources as well as health, hygiene and transport infrastructures. Every minute counts ‑ that is why the emergency relief of the GRC runs like a clockwork.
Acute emergency relief
The modular system
During the first days and weeks after a disaster, it is necessary to save lives and secure survival. The specific emergency relief depends on the situation on site. The GRC first of all assesses the situation and coordinates the relief activities with the Red Cross and Red Crescent Society of the respective country. After that, for example, relief supplies like food, tarpaulins, clothing and kitchenware are distributed. The supply of drinking water and sanitation is secured.
The Red Cross Red Crescent Movement as a worldwide recognised, neutral and impartially acting humanitarian actor also provides support in armed conflicts, when the population suffers or infrastructures are destroyed. We bring aid to the injured, to refugees and displanced persons and the sick, provide medicine, water and food orsupport the building of shelters, usually via the local sister society. We also support them in establishing their own structures for the management of volunteers.
Relief supplies on site and in stock
If possible, relief supplies like food, tarpaulins and clothing are locally procured and transported to the crisis region on the shortest and quickest way. Alternatively relief supplies for 300 000 people are available in the logistics centres of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in Kuala Lumpur, Panama and Dubai. Relief supplies from Germany are usually flown-in only if the capacities of these international logistics centres are not sufficient.
Above all, relief flights from Germany will start if the basic needs of the affected population shall be secured and if relief can only be brought into the country from outside, primarily in the case of large-scale disasters.
This starts with clean water and basic medical care. Therefore the GRC provides three different types of Emergency Response Units ‑ ERUs in its logistics centre at the Schönefeld airport in Berlin: The mobile Red Cross hospital, the mobile health care unit and water- and hygiene units.
The emergency relief units, tents and hygiene packets are stored in the logistics centre and are delivered on request. Relief supplies with an expiry date such as food and medicine are bought within the shortest period of time. For this purpose the GRC has concluded framework agreements with numerous suppliers in advance. In the case of an emergency, the suppliers will deliver the relief items immediately.
The modular system—flexible and fast emergency relief
In an emergency the GRC can react quickly and flexibly with its emergency response units. These mobile modules are deployed for the supply of a large number of affected people and in the first few days help to create the most important prerequisites for efficient humanitarian aid. Flexibility, speed and need-orientation are the skills that are required in a disaster situation.
The German Red Cross has therefore developed together with other national societies a unique modular system for worldwide disaster relief. The various modules can be adapted to the situation and to the specific needs in the disaster region.
The GRC keeps three different emergency response units available for this purpose: the mobile Red Cross hospital, the mobile health care unit and the mobile DWS units for drinking water supply and disease prevention.
In addition, basic technical equipment, emergency vehicles and tents are kept available for the Red Cross aid workers.
These mobile units have proved themselves in practice in disaster relief operations. They are designed for deployments of between three to four months in crisis areas, during the first two weeks of which the team is completely self-sufficient. In addition the units can be operated self-sufficiently in terms of energy by using their own power generators. Even the packing material of the units is part of the utilisation plan—it is used to construct tables and shelves.
The modules are compliant with international standards. Handling is simplified to enable disaster response staff and volnteers from different countries to work together. These Emergency Response Units (ERUs) are known by this name internationally and they have often proved themselves in practice to be a well-conceived system of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
Relief logistics
A structure and an overview are needed in disaster situations. The GRC's relief logistics have proved themselves in practice in many operations and have been repeatedly further optimised in terms of the details.


Feminism has been an ongoing movement or rather an ongoing discussion that has come into the light at least through last year. Because art imitates life, we saw a lot of movies and shows on celluloid and various other platforms that celebrated this reform. But then alternatively, there is still an entire school of thought where this so-called "movement" is being taken lightly and even portrayed in a negative light. Intrinsically we have been brought up in a patriarchal society, and feminism looks like it has waged a war against this upbringing, but is that really true?
To uncover the mysteries of Patriarchy and the modern woman, Bebo sat down with her Veere, actor Swara Bhaskar on her show What Women Want with Kareena Kapoor Khan on Ishq 104.8 FM. This show is where she is not just clearing the fog around the age-old concept of "women are too complicated to understand" but is also asking the important questions to women, for women and about women!
In the recent episode, they finally decided to lay out all the cards on the table of why patriarchy seems to be diminishing the voice of the modern Indian woman. They spoke about the core values and the solution to patriarchy and feminism being at loggerheads. But regardless of the haters and trolls on all sides of the spectrum, it is an important discussion which would need a lot of powerful and strong opinions. This two-part discussion is something that you should definitely lend an ear to.

Q: Printing a line by updating an already outputted line Forgive me if the title is not lucid, but I could not better describe it in a single sentence.
Consider I have the following in a loop, which increments counter each time it runs.
output_string = 'Enter the number [{0}]'.format(counter)
When I do a print output_string, the output goes like:
Enter the number [1]:

When I print this line again with the incremented number, like:
Enter the number [2]:

It will of course follow the 1st line and the cumulative output would be:
Enter the number [1]:
Enter the number [2]:

However, I don't want this. I want the first line line should be updated and without adding another line, the output should just change in the first line itself.
Like, it should display Enter the number [1]: and after that it should do an in-place replacement for [1] and the screen should read: Enter the number [2], without adding an extra line.
I hope I am being clear. The reason I am doing this is because I am taking in large inputs from the user and I don't want to clutter up the terminal when I can just keep on incrementing what I want within a single line.

A: If your script will be running on Unix/Linux you could use the curses module.

A: Try this
print('enter the number[1]', end='\r' )

If you're using Python 2.7, don't forget from __future__ import print_function.


In February, PUMAX Composite Index that comprises of manufacturing and services sectors fell to 46,93 by 0,18 points with respect to previous month. PUMAX, retreated to 26th month low with the value of 46,93 in February.
The most important reason for the decrease, seen in the Composite Index happens to be the slowing down of service index. On the other hand, partial slowdown in manufacturing sector restrained the rate of decline in the composite index.

Gold mine to introduce renewable energy and battery storage to lower costs and environmental impact
Help our customer introduce renewables into their energy mix without compromising power reliability
Leverage the benefits of hybrid energy and minimise capital outlay
Lower energy costs and minimised environmental impact
Client Gold Fields Australia
Location Laverton, Western Australia
Sectors Mining
Gold Fields Australia committed to reduce its carbon footprint and use renewables for at least 20% of total life-of-mine power requirements in new projects.
Two years previous, after a gas line extension was built by AngloGold Ashanti to service their mining operations in the region, Gold Fields Australia were able to use gas, a cleaner cheaper fuel source than the diesel it was using at the time to power their operations going forward.
That's when they turned to Aggreko to deliver a 22 MW gas power station. Working closely with them to understand their needs, we delivered highly efficient bespoke modified engines that reduced their fuel costs and environmental impact.
Knowing Aggreko had recently announced the launch of microgrids-as-a-service for customers who want to leverage the benefits of a hybrid energy solution while minimising capital outlay, discussions began about how and if this could be incorporated into their current power package without compromising the micro-grid stability or reliability.
Gas power
To integrate 7.3 MW of solar power generation, and 2MW / 1 MWh battery storage with the existing gas supply as a hybrid power station – under one contract and with no capital outlay.
This unique energy package combines solar, thermal and battery storage that's seamlessly integrated and managed by our powerful software platform - guaranteeing full system availability and optimising their existing thermal assets life.
This new solar gas hybrid power station will meet the increased daily power needs of the entire mine of 24.2 MW, with 8 MW allocated to the Wallaby underground mine and the remaining 16.2 MW for the processing plant, associated facilities and the mine accommodation camp.
Our ingenious solutions keep it simple for you
Can we help you dig deeper?
Power generation is a significant proportion of operating costs of the Granny Smith mine for Gold Fields.
Using the latest hybrid energy technologies will enable them to significantly lower their total cost of energy and reduce their carbon footprint, while demonstrating their ongoing commitment to both environmental sustainability and innovation at its operations. All of this without compromising the reliability of power supply and productivity of the mine.

President's Statement on Unity
Introduction to the Larry Donnell Kimmons Memorial Lecture Series
The prophet Isaiah said about Jesus:
"Finally, he will cause justice to be victorious. And his name will be the hope of all the world."
Matthew 12:20-21 NLT
I greet you in the name of Jesus, the hope of all the world.
Believers today are divided by so much hurt—and that division breaks the heart of Jesus. And it breaks my heart. But I am committed to our healing.
Jesus' vision for his people is unity. In John 17, Jesus said to his disciples and to all those who would eventually believe on account of their testimony:
"I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me." John 17:20-21 NLT
As followers of Jesus, our most powerful testimony to the world is our unity. But unity is not sustainable without healing and reconciliation.
Authentic unity comes through our universal commitment to fix our eyes on Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Unity does not come through political activism or ideological uniformity. Unity does not come through sociological theories or theological debate. Unity is so much bigger than that, so much higher than that. Our commitment must be to the truth, the truth that is found in Jesus. Jesus gave John a glimpse of the Father's heart, unity, and design for his people in Revelation 7:9-10:
"After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" Revelation 7:9-10 ESV
Jesus also taught us to pray, "your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." That is my prayer today. That God's will, God's kingdom, as pictured in the Revelation 7 vision given to John, would be present on earth, at Pepperdine, just as it is in heaven. That all members of our community know in their heart of hearts that they belong here, that they are seen, heard, loved, valued, respected, and empowered—here.
Nelson Mandela said, "It is necessary to heal the wounds of the past if you are going to build your country and to have unity. I am working with people who fought me very bitterly before the elections. It was my responsibility as the man who is leading the majority party, my responsibility to heal the wounds of the past and to work with people who were my opponents."
Today, I am thinking about Larry Donnell Kimmons about justice, about healing, and about unity. 52 years ago tomorrow, Pepperdine experienced a tragic event on its campus—the fatal shooting of Larry Donnell Kimmons by a Pepperdine security guard on our campus. Some of our alumni were there and have shared with me the story of what happened on that fateful night in 1969. In the midst of racial tensions and riots in LA, Pepperdine was thrust into the spotlight of a violent and divided city. We may not know the precise details of what was said that night and what motivated that horrific shooting. But enough is known for us to recognize that this young man's life was unjustifiably taken on our campus and lives were shattered as a result. The lives of his family and friends and generations of our black community have suffered as a result of the life taken that night.
Today, this day, March 11, 2021, must be a day of healing. We have made important efforts to acknowledge Larry Donnell Kimmons' life and death. The mounting of this portrait and the words of President Benton owning the sin that led to his death, the establishment of this annual lecture series, and recently the naming of the Larry Kimmons Belonging Award at our law school. But as I start my presidency, I am compelled to do my part to help heal this long-standing divide in our Pepperdine family.
We who are here today did not cause this tragedy. We did not pull the trigger that night. But we are a family, we are the body of Christ, and as such we are inextricably linked to one another as a community. God designed us to live in community and therefore we would be woefully self-centered, merciless, and without compassion to intentionally distance ourselves from this devastating part of our history. To the degree that Pepperdine failed in our response to this tragedy at the time, or to the degree that our community has tolerated any racial animus toward one another over the decades since, we are, as a community, responsible for that. Paul said in Philippians 2: in humility consider others more important than yourselves. That is what kingdom community like. What we do here today, we do as an act of community, in community, for community. What I say here today, I say with the full authority of the Board of Regents on behalf of this university that we all love so dearly.
We live in a broken and divided world, but as believers we know how to heal, we know what is the right thing to do when our past is stained with division, wounds, and injustice. As the African SanKofa bird wisely counsels us, in order to move forward, we must look back, take responsibility, and remember. Remembering is a powerful tradition. But we mustn't stop there. We must remember AND move forward with purpose and conviction not to repeat our wrongs. The powerful legacy of Larry Donnell Kimmons's life for the future of our university is our unflagging commitment to building a kingdom of God community of belonging so that things like this don't happen again.
As the Apostle John said: "let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."
It is in the remembrance of young Larry Donnell Kimmons that we change things so that his life and death were not in vain. We change things not only for Pepperdine's community, but so that Pepperdine may become a light and a leader in the national conversation on racial reconciliation and justice in our world.
Although most of our family members who were present at that time are no longer here to help us heal, we are here. It is my deepest desire to be an instrument of healing and unity. I also recognize that mere words can never bring Larry back or reconcile the long-standing divide in our history, but these are not mere words—these are heartfelt words offered humbly in the context of Christian community where Jesus is Lord and desires to bring his people together by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Some may understandably feel that this is too little too late. But given the options to speak or be silent, I felt compelled to speak, and I call on all of us to lay down that which divides us and lift up the name of the One who unites us.
And now may we, being rooted and grounded in love, have the strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that we may be filled with all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:17-19 ESV

"Carol has created the perfect search offering for any level candidate to take full advantage of everything available today. Her background in search and recruiting allows her to help you create an outstanding marketing tool for your job search (a very professional, well written and keyword rich resume) and train you in all the latest techniques in search using some of the best tools in the industry, starting with LinkedIn. She is very sharp, easy to work with and creates a great work dynamic for her and her client to work within.
"There are many people in the business of writing resumes and providing job search advice—but none of them compare to Carol. This isn't just a business for her—it's a quest to help you, and she offers much more than the transactional relationship I've experienced from others in this field.
She partners with you, and coaches you in a way that leaves you better off. She doesn't just add in some power phrases and keywords to your resume and LinkedIn profile—through an in-depth interview process she carefully crafts a targeted and concise description of your value, designed to appeal to your audience. In addition, she provides insight and guidance so you can be successful in your search after her work is done.
And Carol is diligent about her work—she schedules carefully and delivers promptly. It is the optimal blend of efficiency, support, and output that can quickly get you on the right track.
"Over the past year I have received many interviews based on my resume. Although I know it is the experience and education that ultimately made their decision; the style and organization of the content, I feel, played a large role in getting it in front of the right people. Before using your services, I was not getting any interviews.
I have recently accepted an Executive-level position with a Fortune 10 corporation. During the first interview, the hiring manager commented on my excellent resume, which got his attention.
The only regret that I have is that I did not pay for your interview and other services initially because I might have actually gotten my dream-role sooner!"
"The methods and techniques that were used through the resume and search boot camp gave me the confidence to broaden my network. I received results in less than 24 hours of "going live" with my updated profile, resume and employment search techniques. This has been a great experience."
"It was a true pleasure working with Carol on my career search. Carol is a real mentor and coach. She leans in and helps on all aspects of a career search. The value she brings far outstrips the cost. Highly recommended!"
"I've been so busy working over the past years, I hadn't taken the time to market myself. I entrusted Carol to help me get my career accomplishments in order. As a digital marketer, I understand the importance of search engine optimization and today's job search requires the same of our online career profiles. Carol created a keyword rich profile that enabled me to be found by the right hiring managers and recruiters.
"Carol's help was extremely beneficial in communicating how I can add value to potential clients and employers. She is a gifted communicator who is skilled at making sure the right message is delivered.
Since utilizing Carol's services, my profile views and contacts from potential clients and recruiters have increased significantly. I secured a new advisory role as a result of the increased attention, and have several strong leads in the funnel.
"I followed your advice. I reached out to a Senior Vice President using your intro email from our training session.
"After 20+ years in the workforce and a couple job searches under my belt from times past, I felt ready to tackle my current job search. As a hiring manager myself I was armed with the knowledge of what effective and poor resumes looked like. I had great prior experiences and successes to tout, and my career reflected an upward trajectory. I was confident I would find something great quickly which was bolstered by the outplacement services provided by my prior employer (one of the blue-chip OSPs in the industry).
Almost a year of searching came and went with only a couple opportunities along the way. Frustration and anxiety increased as the months went by. I was doing everything the outplacement firm taught me to do, and the OSP provided me with their "certified effective resume." I didn't understand why I was having such a difficult time finding my next opportunity…until I found Carol Sosalla and her company Hit Interview!
I didn't know Carol, but after connecting with her on LinkedIn, reading about her and her company, and speaking on the phone with her briefly, I knew after 10 minutes that she could reignite my job search campaign by dramatically improving my marketing tools, give me the motivation I needed to retrench and relaunch my campaign, and most importantly, help me understand how to job search in 2015 rather than 1990 like I had been instructed in the past. Let's face it, much has changed in the business world over the last 25 years, but job search has changed tremendously in just the last 3-5 years. Carol is highly in tune with those changes, and has the knowledge and expertise that will help you conduct an effective job search in today's, competitive, and highly automated job market. She is not only knowledgeable, but she is supremely professional. She commits to and delivers on her deadlines. The only surprise you'll get from her is when the quality of her deliverables are beyond your expectations.
"Hit Interview will always be my top choice for career related services. I asked Hit Interview to help me redesign my resume following a string of disappointments by several resume writers. Carol, Hit Interview's CEO, personally worked with me to transform my resume and put my job search back on track.
Carol is very professional, thorough, courteous and trustworthy. I particularly found her resume questionnaire tool very effective at helping me to think through my accomplishments and achievements. Her friendly disposition helped me to open up about my job search aspirations, which helped me immensely in providing quality answers. Carol effectively manages delivery expectations by setting the deadlines and meeting them without excuses. Given my past experiences, that was a breath of fresh air.
"Focused, calculated and strategic are the three words that immediately come to mind when I think of Carol Sosalla. She is absolutely remarkable when it comes to putting together a game plan strategy to help enable you to market yourself the right way to the right people at the same time. Carol did a phenomenal job with my LinkedIn profile, resume and cover letter. Her uncanny skill to design a portfolio for me was lifesaving for me. I had been involved with other people that claim they can do what Carol did for me but they could not carry her lunch when it comes to putting together the right pieces of information I provided her, in the right places to gain the most powerful impact possible from a marketing standpoint for myself looking for a new job opportunity.
Carol's ability to do things when she says she is going to do things as far as scheduling appointments, calls or to do actions on her behalf were second to none. It was quite wonderful to just provide Carol with all the information I could regarding myself and my current situation and to see her develop not only a strategy, Carol produced the most articulate resume for me, which included all of the "KEY" words or phrases these internet search engines recognize when they sort through all of the thousands of resumes online.
"Working with Carol proved to be the best decision I have made this year. Her skill in understanding where I've been and where I was heading was incredible. Leveraging her experience in digital networking as well as trusting her expertise on the importance and health of your personal brand proved to be priceless as I started the search for my next opportunity.
"Carol brings much more to the table than just helping to develop an excellent resume and LinkedIn profile. Her in depth knowledge of networking and the recruiting, hiring, and search process makes her an invaluable ally for anyone seeking to make a job or career change. She will help you make the best use of your time in finding opportunities, and help you make a solid presentation when you find them.
"Everyone is busy, and looking for the perfect company, but it is hard to change gears and put a resume and social media package together for your target companies that will make an impact. With a plethora of resume services out there, which one do you choose and can trust? Well Carol Sosalla was a diamond in a pile of coal that made an impact for my career search. Carol's extreme knowledge, experience and professionalism made this journey a lot easier than I thought it would be. I have never been happier and feel extremely confident now that my profile is ready to rock.
"While I've always been a strong networker with a deep background of success in a number of roles, I've never been very good at telling my story effectively through my resume or LinkedIn profile.
Carol was able to quickly understand my professional goals, my current skill set, and what I would need to portray publicly in order to achieve those goals. She crafted a resume, updated my LinkedIn profile, and generated a cover letter template that has gotten results every single time I've applied for a role.
In a matter of just a few weeks, using the material that Carol prepared – along with the skills she taught me in a brief training session – I've had a number of interviews for roles that were a great fit for my goals.
"I have always been reluctant to hire someone to help with my career search. After reviewing Carol's web site and an initial consultation, I decided to take a leap a faith. I couldn't be more pleased with the results.
Carol can help any level person navigate all aspects of the career search process, providing insider tips on resume screening, LinkedIn networking and how to search for and then research a position. She does all of this expediently, with a wealth of knowledge & expertise and for a price which is a phenomenal value. Unlike the piranhas out there, Carol does not charge by your wealth or expected earnings, rather an extremely reasonable flat fee for service performed.
She was able to provide top-notch deliverables and professional training that refined my message and targeted my goals. She listened carefully from the beginning, crafting custom questions, and then worked with me to formulate a compelling profile and resume. In addition, she guided me through the process for an effective interview execution. The result was a new position within two months, far exceeding my original goals.


Looking for work is a drastic step for most of my friends; so if you guys are reading this (and who else does?), let's review a survival skill we learned in college –- mooching.
First, mooching is not stealing. Rather it is making the most out of something offered for free. Opportunities are everywhere. In Gone With the Wind, Scarlet O'Hara's proclaimed: "I'll plant Tara, and never go hungry again." Hunger would not of been an issue if she had only known about super center free samples. Let's start there.
One -- Take a baby with you. Ask for a sample for junior, too. Employees never catch on that a toothless infant has no use for beef jerky embedded toothpicks. So his is yours.
Two -- Wear a baseball cap. My research shows that lined with plastic wrap, a hat can hold about 23 pizza rolls.
Three -- When the server offers a tray selection say, "I have a discriminating pallet, requiring more then one taste and may I see your wine list?" Working quickly, you can swallow about 12 cheese and crackers before the store manager and/or security arrives.
Back when I married, when the earth was void and without form, our reception food was basically punch and large can of Planter's Nuts. Not anymore. Today's brides are obligated to feed the world. It can work to your advantage.
My nuptial reception strategy is all about logistics: Be near first in line while the Swedish meatballs are warm. But no matter what line position you have, let the bride and groom cut the wedding cake first. It is very tempting to slice a section while they are having pictures made but will be really awkward if you do. Tradition says the bride must take a slice of wedding cake and shove it in the groom's face. Women find this hilarious so don't fight it.
Soon you will move on to advanced mooching such as double dipping. First time through the reception line, say you are a friend of the groom, second time, friend of the bride. Technically it's honest, as you probably like them both -– allowing seconds on chicken wings.
Another great opportunity, though seasonal, is Halloween. But don't take your kids trick or treating in your neighborhood. Those folks are as broke as you are. Try perusing wealthy areas. The rich give great goodies. I am told that on Halloween, Gulf Shores, Ono Island residents hand out pork chops.

Top doc outlines COVID-19 vaccine rollout plan for Windsor-Essex
Jan 13, 2021 • Last Updated January 13, 2021 • 3 minute read

The medical officer of health for Windsor-Essex is expressing confidence in the local health unit's ability to get COVID-19 shots in the arms of more than 400,000 people by September.
Dr. Wajid Ahmed on Wednesday presented the bones of a plan to tackle the "massive undertaking," including the order in which residents will receive the vaccine at mass immunization clinics and the responsibilities of various community groups in accomplishing the months-long task.
"We have a huge task between now and up until August to make sure we are vaccinating the majority of the people in Windsor-Essex," Ahmed said.
The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit is at the helm of the local COVID-19 vaccine rollout committee, which has members from eight other sectors, including local political leaders, Indigenous leaders, pharmacists, and home and community care partners. They will be responsible for supporting the immunization of various population groups like adults receiving chronic home care and the Indigenous population, as well as providing the municipal infrastructure needed for the rollout.
Also on the committee are representatives from local hospitals, first responders, non-hospital physicians, and post-secondary schools.

"It does require a lot of collaboration, a lot of work. We see that there is a lot of work ahead of us, and we want to make sure that we all come together, we work in a systematic way."
Phase 1 of the province's vaccine distribution plan identifies the top priority groups for immunization: residents, staff, and essential caregivers at long-term care and retirement homes (roughly 10,000 people); health-care workers (11,000 people); adults in remote First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities (the number of which is not identified in the health unit's draft plan); and adult recipients of chronic home care (7,000 people). In Windsor-Essex, the local health unit and Windsor Regional Hospital have already inoculated most of those associated with long-term care and retirement homes.
Phase 1 is expected to last until "maybe sometime in February or March," Ahmed said.
Phase 2 of the vaccine plan is expected to begin immediately after, "when we start to see significant and steady increase in vaccine supply not only in Windsor-Essex, but throughout the country." It starts with essential workers, of which there are an estimated 35,000 in Windsor-Essex. Adults age 75 and older are next, followed by those ages 60 to 75 (approximately 84,000 people).
Then about 30,000 residents belonging to "at-risk populations" get the jab, with the remaining 200,000 adults and children coming last.

To inoculate nearly 350,000 people in Phase 2, the health unit intends to hold mass immunization clinics and have other clinics led by primary care providers. The vaccine will also be offered at some area pharmacies, much like the flu shot.
In September, Phase 3 will begin. During that time, people who have just arrived in the region or who were previously unable to receive a shot will be able to access one. By that time, everyone who wanted the jab in the region and was eligible for it will have received it, Ahmed said. Ineligible individuals include those with a fever or acute illness, or who had an active case of COVID-19 when they were supposed to be immunized.
Ahmed said he expects as many as 8,000 people will be vaccinated each day in WIndsor-Essex at the height of the rollout, with roughly 4,000 daily injections on more typical days.

Currently, he said, the health unit and Windsor Regional Hospital have the capacity to deliver between 1,500 and 2,000 shots per day, but they only have the supply to administer between 800 and 1,000.
"It will be crucial that we are all in this together and we continue to work together," Ahmed said.
"I feel pretty confident with my team. I think our team has proven time and time (again) to be delivering what we promised — and whatever we promised we actually delivered much better."

There are nearly 10,000 kids in foster care on any given day in Washington State, and a local organization is looking for volunteers to help those kids.
The Seattle-based non-profit Amara runs two local emergency sanctuary homes, one in Seattle and one in Tacoma, that house foster kids who are waiting to receive placement in a long-term home.
The homes have the ability to care for several kids at a time, and sanctuary staff and volunteers provide care and comfort.
These types of homes were approved by the legislature two years ago, and they're looking for volunteers.
"We want the community engaged in helping care for the children in our community. And so our staffing model is we have one paid staff and one or two volunteers on every shift. And that means we have to have a very robust group of dedicated volunteers," says Jennifer Kamel, Director of Children's Services for Amara.
The organization is hosting an informational meeting on Thursday for those looking to become a volunteer. It will take place on July 27 at 6pm at Amara's headquarters at 5907 MLK Way South in Seattle. A similar informational meeting will be held in Tacoma in August.

Q: issues appending to a multidimensional array PHP I have:
$overr=array();

$overr[]=array("selector"=>array('vi'=>mysql_num_rows($myquery),'pes'=>
$pess,'prp'=>mysql_num_rows($my_3_query),'em_t'=>$u_h));//this is in a loop

As you can see, I'm trying to append to the array ($overr) and add another array inside.
The problem is, its adding 2 arrays inside $overr, so when i try using the selector key name to echo a certain array inside $overr, it doesn't work, because the key name (selector) is inside another array...if that makes any sense. Well here's the result i get when echoing:
echo json_encode ($overr['selector']);//I know i shouldn't be using json_enocde for echoing but its only for temporary testing.

The result:
null

but when i do this:
echo json_encode ($overr[9]);

it works fine, and prints the 9th array out..
I've tried changing the way i append to the array:
$overr[]="selector"=>array('vi'=>mysql_num_rows($myquery),'pes'=>
    $pess,'prp'=>mysql_num_rows($my_3_query),'em_t'=>$u_h);//notice i don't have array at the beginning anymore.

And that returns a syntax error.
I need to be able to use the selector as the key.
Am I not appending to the array properly?
Any help is much appreciated.

A: Try
var_dump($overr[$arrayNumber]['selector']);

A: I'm not really sure if this meets your expectations, but in your first case can make use of selector as key. For example getting the first selector:
$firstSelector = $overr[0]['selector'];

If you prefer to write it in some other fashion, e.g. like:
$firstSelect = $overr['selector'][0];

You need to change the way you build the $overr array.
//this is in a loop
$overr['selector'][] = array(
    'vi' => mysql_num_rows($myquery),
    'pes' => $pess,
    'prp' => mysql_num_rows($my_3_query)
    'em_t'=>$u_h
);

A: Appending to the array with [] brackets appends numerically. If your array had one existing entry, the append would add at index 1. This is why $overr[9] works.
Your loop would result in $overr looking like
$overr => array(
    0 => array("selector" => array(...),
    1 => array("selector" => array(...),
    ...
);

In other words, the "selector" key is hidden inside another array and so cannot be accessed directly with $overr['selector'] but rather $overr[n]['selector'] with n being some index depending on your loop length.
If you want to add to the selector key array, you could append like so inside your loop, assuming the selector key is already set:
$overr['selector'][] = array(...)

Please post an example of what you are trying to achieve, if this does not answer your question.
