Retail Fatalities & Violent Incidents Up 40% in the U.S. in 2020, According to
D&D Daily Reporting
Five-Year 40% Spike in Retail Fatalities
Reflects Nation's
Increasing Murder Rate & Gun Violence Trend
Despite COVID shutdowns, violent fatalities in retail reached an all-time
high in 2020, with 256 customers, 128 suspects, 123 employees, and 16 security
officers dying in stores or parking lots.
CLEVELAND, OH - January 19, 2021 -
The D&D Daily - retail's
leading digital news source for Loss Prevention, Asset Protection and Cyber
Security - released its industry-exclusive
2020 U.S. Retail Violent Fatalities Report, with support from
Interface Security
Systems.
Based on publicly reported data, the new report shows fatalities and violent
incidents in retail were at an all-time high in 2020 and up roughly 40% since
2016. There were 485 fatal retail incidents last year, resulting in 523 deaths
across the United States, reflecting 256 customers, 128 suspects, 123
employees/associates, and 16 law enforcement/security officers.
The Retail Violent Fatalities Report outlines a five-year trend of violence in
the retail industry and reveals the stunning reality that COVID-19 shutdowns
have had virtually no impact on bringing down violence. In fact, violent trends
have continued unabated since 2016.
"With murder rates and gun violence trends skyrocketing across America, it's no
surprise to see fatality rates continue to climb in Retail America as well -
especially given the protests and rioting around racial injustice, the
historical unemployment rates, the business failures from the COVID-19
shutdowns, and the digital transformation retail is going through," said Gus
Downing, Publisher & Editor of the D&D Daily.

Facebook Blocks Creation of Events Near Capitol, Halts Ads for Weapons in
Lead-Up to Inauguration Day
Following the recent unrest at the
US Capitol Building, Facebook is taking
extra precautions around Inauguration Day, amid suggestions that Trump
supporters may be looking to disrupt the event in a last-ditch effort to
overturn the 2020 election result.
Or worse. According to reports, it seems that some of Trump's passionate
supporters could be
seeking to cause chaos at the inauguration, in response to Trump's loss in
the November poll.
In order to counter the potential threat of further violence, and division
within US society, Facebook has
announced some tough measures to ensure that its platforms are not being
used to organize or contribute to such.
First off, Facebook is blocking the creation of any new Facebook events in close
proximity to the White House, the US Capitol building or any of the state
capitol buildings through Inauguration Day.

First Conspiracy Charges Filed Over Capitol Riot
FBI says communications among alleged Oath Keepers showed talk of 'sticking
together and sticking to the plan'; directions for making explosives with bleach
found in one home.
Prosecutors filed the first conspiracy charges related to the mob that stormed
the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6, saying in a new complaint that three rioters had acted
in an "organized and practiced fashion" and communicated before the breach to
create a plan. A search of one of their homes had turned up directions for
making explosives from bleach, according to the complaint.

FBI vetting Guard troops in DC amid fears of insider attack
 U.S. defense officials say they are worried about an insider attack or other
threat from service members involved in securing President-elect Joe Biden's

coming into Washington for the event.

More Capitol Rioters Being Terminated Across

Firing Workers When Political Expression Goes Too Far
 Political
expression by employees takes many forms-from friendly office banter to shouting
matches that disrupt the workplace. Off-duty political expression can run the
gamut, too, from yard signs supporting certain causes or candidates to unlawful
activity, such as what the nation witnessed on Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol
building.
When can employees who've engaged in disruptive political expression be
disciplined? Employers must tread carefully, as there are constitutional
protections for public-sector employees and some state law protections for
private-sector workers. But employees who break the law, violate an employer's
policy, disrupt work or harm an employer's reputation all may be subject to
discipline, including termination, legal experts say.

Coronavirus deaths rising in 30 US states amid winter surge
 Coronavirus
deaths are rising in nearly two-thirds of American states as a winter surge
pushes the overall toll toward 400,000 amid warnings that a new, highly
contagious variant is taking hold.
As Americans observed a national holiday Monday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo
pleaded with federal authorities to curtail travel from countries where new
variants are spreading.
As things stand, many U.S. states are already under tremendous strain. The
seven-day rolling average of daily deaths is rising in 30 states and the
District of Columbia, and on Monday the U.S. death toll surpassed 398,000,
according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University - by far the highest
recorded death toll of any country in the world.
Ellie Murray, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the Boston University
School of Public Health, said cases have proliferated in part because of
gatherings for Christmas and New Year - and compounded previous surges from
Thanksgiving and the return of students to schools and universities in the fall.
One of the states hardest hit during the recent surge is Arizona, where
the rolling average has risen over the past two weeks from about 90 deaths
per day to about 160 per day on Jan. 17.
The death rate from COVID-19 in Los Angeles County - an epicenter of the U.S.
pandemic - works out to about one person every six minutes.
But challenges to the vaccine campaign are surfacing worldwide.

Biden & Harris Calling on Essential Retailers'
CEO's - Compensate For the Risk Workers Took
UFCW, FMI applaud key elements of Biden's coronavirus relief plan
Proposal includes hazard pay, beefed-up vaccine rollout, but NGA says
legislative battles lie ahead
UFCW hailed the legislative package's call for more coronavirus safety
measures for essential frontline workers, including COVID-19 vaccines, as
well as enhanced pandemic-related compensation and benefits, namely hazard
pay for frontline grocery and retail workers.
Meanwhile, FMI credited the Biden plan's focus on boosting the rate of COVID-19
vaccine distribution, an area where the grocery industry trade group said
supermarkets can play a pivotal role. Fellow food retail trade organization the
National Grocers Association, however, said the overall bill faces significant
hurdles in Congress.
UFCW International yesterday noted that a number provisions in the
American Rescue Plan seek more investment in protecting and supporting
essential workers. Topping the list is hazard pay - retroactive and ongoing -
for the extra efforts and risks faced by grocery store associates and other
frontline employees in doing their jobs during a surging pandemic.

New Variant Likely Become Predominant Strain
in U.S. by March
CDC: More contagious COVID-19 strain could lead to spike in U.S. cases by March
 The
CDC warned that the strain, called B.1.1.7, could lead to a spike in cases
across the U.S. It has already been detected in ten states.
The strain has been circulating in the U.K. since September and has quickly
become the dominant COVID-19 strain in the region.
"Taking measures to reduce transmission now can lessen the potential impact of
B.1.1.7 and allow critical time to increase vaccination coverage," the CDC said.
The variant is not known to cause more severe cases nor increase the risk of
a fatal infection.
It is likely
the vaccine will protect against B.1.1.7 as vaccine designers take into
consideration the potential for mutation when creating vaccines.
There are currently three known variants of the virus that causes COVID-19,
including strains first detected in South Africa, called 1.351, and Brazil,
called P.1.
Incoming White House chief of staff Ron Klain said the coronavirus pandemic will
get worse before it gets better, projecting another 100,000 deaths from
COVID-19 in the first five weeks of President-elect Joe Biden's administration.
Speaking to CNN's "State of the Union," Klain said Biden was inheriting a dire
situation, saying even with vaccines, "It's going to take a while to turn this
around."

Hey New York, No Jumping Ahead in Line to Buy the Vaccine
NY Governor Cuomo Looks to Bypass Federal Govt & Buy Pfizer Vaccine Directly
Pfizer says it would need federal approval to sell its coronavirus vaccine to
New York, dashing Gov. Andrew Cuomo's hopes of buying the shots directly.
Cuomo
asked the Manhattan-based drugmaker about placing a COVID-19 vaccine order
on Monday as he complained that the feds had left the state facing a shortage.
But Pfizer said the US Department of Health and Human Services would have to
approve such an arrangement based on the emergency use authorization that the
Food and Drug Administration granted for the groundbreaking vaccine.

Mass Inoculations Begin of 65+ in Calif.
Starting Thursday LA County to Offer Vaccines to Anyone 65+
"The COVID-19 vaccine rollout has been an enormous undertaking, especially
during an unprecedented surge where cases, hospitalizations, and deaths continue
to skyrocket," Solis said in a statement. "However, if we are to ever get out of
this dark winter, it is critical that we make headway vaccinating people 65
years of age and older as soon as possible."
LA County, the most populated county in the country, public health
department will hold a
vaccine town hall Tuesday evening and is
posting vaccination
information online.
"Gov. Gavin Newsom has encouraged all counties to start vaccinating residents
65 and older,"
Supervisor Janice Hahn said earlier on Twitter.
Great News: Los Angeles County Fire
Department officials said Monday that even a single dose of the two-dose
vaccine regimen appears to have driven down infection rates among staff
members. Since vaccinations began in late December, positive test results
have dropped from 18% to less than 6%, fire officials said in a news
release. "As the county continues to surge, new cases among department personnel
began dropping precipitously as did our test positivity rate," said
Clayton Kazan, the county Fire Department's medical director.

NRF Big Show Chapter 2 in NYC Goes Virtual
NRF Issues Statement about Changes to NRF 2021: Retail's Big Show
 The
National Retail Federation today issued the following statement from President
and CEO Matthew Shay regarding changes to the planned in-person NRF 2021:
Retail's Big Show - Chapter 2.
We have recently learned that the Javits Center, which is being used as a
venue for vaccine distribution for New York residents, will most likely be
unavailable during the first week of June, which is when we had planned
to hold the Second Chapter of our annual NRF Big Show.
"Vaccinations and the overall state of our nation's response to the pandemic
were always a primary consideration for an in-person gathering this year. And
while we were optimistic about the prospects of a quick timeline for vaccine
distribution, the reality is that it is taking longer than we had all hoped and
experts believe the process could extend through the summer.
After successfully launching the popular and virtual Chapter 1 of Big Show
this month, we are preparing to return online in June to provide even more
expansive content, networking, entertainment and expert insights for

Armando Juarez, who shot and killed Dallas police Officer Rogelio Santander Jr.
in April 2018, pleaded guilty Friday to capital murder and was sentenced to
life without parole.
Juarez fatally shot Santander and wounded his fellow Officer Crystal Almeida
and security guard Scott Painter at the Home Depot store near Forest Lane
and North Central Expressway on April 24, 2018.
The families of two Dallas officers shot last year inside a Home Depot have
filed a lawsuit against the alleged killer, the home-improvement store, a
Dallas-based security company and two people who worked security that day.
The two families allege negligence by Home Depot. At the center of the suit
is the allegation that security officers at the retailer "failed to perform
an adequate search" and properly detain shoplifting suspect Armando
Luis Juarez.

In an interview setting, investigators should be aware of the emotional
vulnerability of their subject. Regardless of the case amount, these
conversations may cause the subject to contemplate the multiple consequences
ahead of them and the embarrassment or shame that comes along with it. They may
also feel an aggravation towards the company or the interviewer themselves. With
a non-confrontational interview, focused on rapport development and respect, we
aim to pro-actively manage these concerns by empathizing and showing

Kroger Joins Amazon In The Race To Add 'Smart' Grocery Carts
Kroger recently became the
latest entrant when it rolled out new
"KroGO"
shopping carts on a test basis at its Madeira, Ohio grocery store
outside of Cincinnati.
Built by a company called
Caper Inc., the new carts come with a built-in video screen that is
essentially a smaller version of the scanners that Kroger has at its
checkout lines.
Customers can swipe rewards cards, weigh produce right at the cart, scan the bar
codes on items as shoppers plunk them off of shelves, and even put things back
and remove them from the tab. The cart gives shoppers a running subtotal of
purchases as items are added, helping people stay on budget.
Done shopping, shoppers can scan debit or credit cards and walk out without
standing in line. The only things the KroGO carts can't currently handle are
gift cards, coupons, cash, purchases of tobacco or behind-the-counter pharmacy
items like certain decongestants, and U.S. government food aid programs like EBT
and WIC.
Promoting the new technology in the Ohio store with signage that plays well
in the COVID-19 era, reading "Faster Checkout. Limited Contact."
Kroger has also posted a
slick
video on YouTube to promote the new carts.
Smart Carts Don't Just Benefit Shoppers
● Skipping checkout lines stores hire fewer cashiers, saving on wages.
● Smart sensors gives grocers the elaborate information they collect from
online shoppers.
● Customers bought about 18% more than average.

McDonald's Facing Dozens of Sexual Harassment
Lawsuits
McDonald's is navigating 3 new sexual harassment lawsuits
McDonald's is managing three new sexual harassment lawsuits that include
allegations of sexual assault and quid-pro-quo harassment. The suits were filed
in Kansas City, St. Louis and Los Angeles, according to an email sent to
Restaurant Dive.
The suits include claims the workers were ignored, mocked and retaliated against
when they complained about being harassed.
These cases come on the heels of a
$500 million sexual harassment lawsuit filed in April, as well as a
class-action lawsuit filed in
November 2019 alleging sexual harassment and a hostile work environment.
Prior to that November suit,
more than 50 complaints were brought against the company, while
McDonald's was
one of only 15 American companies to be sued by the federal government
multiple times for sexual harassment between 1998 and 2014.

Police Reassess Security for Inauguration & Demonstrations After Capitol Attack
 In
the wake of last week's assault on the Capitol, Mayor Muriel E. Bowser of
Washington called for officials to expedite security preparations for the
inauguration.
Federal and local authorities across the country pressed their hunt this weekend
for the members of the angry mob that stormed the Capitol building last
Wednesday, as Washington's mayor issued an urgent appeal to start preparing
immediately for more potential violence before, during and after the
inauguration of President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.
Security experts warned this weekend that some far-right extremist groups
have now started to focus attention on Inauguration Day and are already
discussing an assault similar to the one on the Capitol.
As of Sunday,
nearly 400 people had joined a private group online dedicated
to what is being billed as the "Million Militia March," an event scheduled to
take place in Washington on Jan. 20.

A Sure Thing... Don't Bet On It
The NFL Playoffs began this past weekend,
resulting in heartbreak for some and hope for others. Millions of dollars were
also exchanged over the weekend as sports bettors invested their "interest" in
the games as well (not that I would know anything about that). There is rarely a
bet that is considered "a sure thing" as many who lost money can empathize with
this statement. However, there are many fans and bettors that feel otherwise and
entered the Wild Card weekend with full confidence in their teams performance
and guaranteed win. Truth be told, this same error is made often in

Working Together on Halting the Sale of Stolen Items Online
Integrity, Notification, and Fairness in Online Retail Marketplaces for
Consumers (INFORM) Act
We want to take a moment to express our focus and commitment to helping and
improving the lives of loss prevention and asset protection team members.
PPS is
a company dedicated to being your trusted advisor for all your LP needs.
As we begin 2021, a growing concern for the LP industry is finding a way to
prevent stolen merchandise from being sold online. The ongoing COVID-19
restrictions are forcing more people to buy online than in previous years. This
shines a bright light on the continued problem of stolen merchandise being sold
using third-party platforms like Facebook Marketplace and Amazon. This is a
significant concern for retailers because the marketplace requires little
authentication, which makes tracking the criminals increasingly difficult. It
has even drawn the attention of Organized Retail Crime (ORC) networks, which use
these online marketplaces to resell their stolen merchandise anonymously. The
Department of Homeland Security's 2020 "Combating Trafficking in Counterfeit and
Pirated Goods" report,
read here, stated this is not only a United States
problem, but it's a global problem. It explained counterfeit and pirated goods
"amounted to as much as a trillion dollars in 2016".
In 2020 the Integrity, Notification, and Fairness in Online Retail Marketplaces
for Consumers (INFORM) Act was introduced to Congress,
read here. The INFORM Act
will require any online marketplace to collect and verify the third-party
sellers' business information. It will include government ID, tax ID, bank
account, and contact information, and high-volume sellers will be required to
provide their contact information to consumers. This act will make it
increasingly difficult for ORC networks to create and sell from fake accounts.
Any ORC network that attempts to resell stolen items, law enforcement and retail
asset protection teams will be able to track them better.
 As we begin the year, please be sure to take the time to educate those around
you and lobby for the INFORM Act.
If you would like more information about PPS's services or products, please
contact Tim Gates by phone at 888-542-3065 or 252-362-1232 or by email at

What the CFO's Are Reading
What Good Looks Like in Cybersecurity
Naturally, C-level executives want to know what good looks like and how to
measure it. Penetration tests, internal vulnerability scans, and IT control
checklists remain go-to tactics, but a new generation of tools is taking things
to the next level.
 Cyber
risk ratings firms. Boston-based BitSight Technologies leads an industry
that continuously monitors externally visible risk factors that indicate an
organization's vulnerability to a data breach. Ratings are expressed in
numerical and alphabetic scores that non-technical leaders can easily grasp.
These firms don't purport to offer a comprehensive assessment, as you would need
permission to look inside a company to do that. Nevertheless, it's amazing how
much you can objectively determine about a company's security posture by looking
from the outside.
Cloud access security brokers. About 20 years ago, Salesforce.com became
the first notable company to offer software as a service (SaaS), delivered from
the cloud, a radical alternative to traditional, licensed software products.
Over 30,000 companies operate as SaaS application providers, including
Microsoft's Office 365, Workday, ServiceNow, and Box, as well as infrastructure
as a service providers like AWS and Azure. Because these providers require a
connection to the customer's network, numerous data security and privacy
compliance issues need proactive management.
The not-for-profit
Cloud Security
Alliance (CSA) has developed dozens of security and privacy risk factors
that are distinct to cloud service providers.
It's FAIR to measure risk. Well-respected organizations such as NIST and
CIS have developed control frameworks that guide IT teams and are foundational
to proper management. Compliance with the elements of these frameworks typically
gets measured qualitatively in traffic light indicators.
Third/fourth party applications. An organization is only as strong as its
weakest connected partner, and you can also apply these tools to the ecosystem
of third and fourth parties.

US Response to Russia's SolarWinds Attack
Biden's $10 Billion Cybersecurity Proposal: Is It Enough?
Security Experts Say Proposal Amounts to a
'Down Payment'
President-elect Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion proposal for COVID-19 relief
includes nearly $10 billion in cybersecurity and IT spending.
Tucked away near the end of the "American Rescue Plan" is a proposal to spend $9
billion to help the U.S. Cyber Security and Information Security Agency and the
General Services Administration complete cybersecurity and IT modernization
projects.
The Biden administration also proposes spending $1 billion for several other
cybersecurity and IT initiatives, including:
●
$200 million for the rapid hiring of security experts to work for
the Office of the U.S. Chief Information Security Officer as well as the
Digital Service unit in the White House;
&uuid=(email)) ●
$300 million to fund additional IT projects within the GSA;
●
$690 million
for a CISA project designed to improve monitoring and incident response across
federal agencies.
The proposed new spending on security and IT improvements is in direct
response to the
SolarWinds supply chain hack, which has affected federal agencies,
including the Treasury, Commerce, Homeland Security, Justice and Energy
departments, as well as numerous private firms. Biden said earlier the
hacking incident reflected a gap in U.S. cybersecurity capabilities.

Fourth malware strain discovered in SolarWinds incident
Symantec said it identified Raindrop, the

Cyber-security firm Symantec said it identified another malware strain that was
used during the SolarWinds supply chain attack, bringing the total number to
four, after the likes of Sunspot, Sunburst (Solorigate), and Teardrop.
Named Raindrop, Symantec said the malware was used only during the very
last stages of an intrusion, deployed only on the networks of very few selected
targets. Symantec said it encountered only four Raindrop samples in the cases it
investigated until today.

Regulations Are Coming
Bezos' Newspaper - The Washington Post - Are They a Little More Connected?
Silicon Valley braces for tougher regulation in Biden's new Washington
The Democratic Party's calls for regulation have grown more urgent in the days
since Biden won the presidency, his party took control of the House and the
Senate - and Trump and his allies further exposed the risks of a largely
unregulated Web.
The aftermath of the DC attack now sets the stage for a political reckoning
between Washington and Silicon Valley, as long-simmering frustrations with
Facebook, Google, Twitter and their digital peers threaten to unleash the
most aggressive regulatory assault against the tech industry in its history.
On the eve of his inauguration, Biden and Democratic leaders in Congress are
pledging to take aim at the country's largest social media platforms out of
concern that they imperil the very fabric of American democracy - and the
billions of people who use these digital services every day.
"The Biden administration knows we need to update our technology regulations
for the 21st century," said Sen. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), who has long
called for wide-ranging reform.
Democratic leaders for years have proposed a bevy of new legislation to
shrink Silicon Valley's corporate footprint, restrict its insatiable
appetite for data and stop the spread of falsehoods online.

Detecting The Act of Stealing - Concealing -
Lying - Emotions?
Emotion Detection in Tech: It's Complicated
The advancement of human-machine partnerships requires emotion detection and
appropriate responses in context, but it's a tough problem
Of all the potential types of analytics, emotion analytics is one of the
toughest to perfect because human emotions are complex. For example, there are
genuine reactions and fabricated ones as well as cultural and individual
differences that shape our perceptions and behaviors. There are also other
things to consider such as context. While emotion analytics is clearly important
to the future of analytics, AI, robotics, intelligent automation and
applications, the early-stage excitement can lead to unrealistic expectations.
"Detecting and classifying emotionality is still a challenging problem," said
Manish Kothari, president of research institute
SRI International, which is
currently developing advanced Emotional Artificial Intelligence automotive
technology that will enable the next generation of vehicles to detect drivers'
emotions and respond accordingly. "It's easy to detect extreme arousal, extreme
happiness or extreme unhappiness, but to detect the subtler elements is still
challenging."
Context improves accuracy, such as having a diagnosis or knowledge set
indicating that a person is depressed, he said.
Who's adopting emotion analytics
Dan Simion, Capgemini North America's VP of AI and Analytics said his company is
seeing more adoption among consumer-facing clients in the media,
entertainment, retail and travel and hospitality industries.

Price-Fixing Conspiracy?
New lawsuit accuses Amazon of e-book price fixing
Lawsuit alleges pricing deal between
e-commerce giant and top five publishers
hurts competition
 Amazon
Inc., which originally came up with the idea of charging bargain-basement prices
for electronic books, is now being accused of forcing customers on other book
sites to pay too much for them.
A lawsuit filed Thursday in a federal district court in New York alleges that
a deal between Amazon and five major book publishers has led to higher e-book
prices for all consumers, because it prevents rival retailers from selling
any of these publishers' e-books at a lower price than on Amazon.
The suit, which was filed by the law firm Hagens Berman and is seeking
class-action status, said Amazon charges high commissions and other costs to
publishers, "which in turn significantly increases the retail price of the
e-books they sell on Amazon.com." As a result of the deal with the five big
publishers, the price they charge on Amazon also has to be the price they charge
everywhere else.
"In a competitive market, the Big Five could sell e-books at a lower price on
their own websites or through Amazon's retail competitors that offer lower
commissions and fees," the lawsuit said.
Calling it a "conspiracy to fix the retail price of
e-books," the suit alleges that the deal between Amazon and the five
publishers-which it said account for 80% of all books sold in the U.S.-violates
antitrust law.

COVID Pushes 3 Years Of Median Online Sales
Growth in 1 Year
Online holiday sales grow north of 45% in 2020
U.S. shoppers spent $201.32 billion online during the season, up an enormous
45.2% from $138.65 billion in 2019, Digital Commerce 360 estimates. That's
more than triple the year-over-year growth rate during the holidays for the year
prior, when web sales grew at a rather sluggish 13.6%.
COVID-19-related shifts in buying behavior translated into an additional
$41.54 billion in digital revenue for November-December.
Online's share of total retail sales in November-December soared to 25.7%, up
from 19.2% in the year before, according to Digital Commerce 360. That means
more than $1 in every $4 spent on retail purchases during the holidays came from
online orders in 2020.

Tipton County, TN: Suspects wanted in identity theft ring spanning across
the Mid-South
 Many
of people return gifts after Christmas but investigators say identity thieves
are also busy making bogus returns at big-name stores. Tipton County Sheriff's
investigators are working with law enforcement in Shelby County, Middle
Tennessee and north Mississippi to break up an ID theft ring. The crooks are
targeting citizens and retail stores. Investigators believe they are working out
of Tipton County and Memphis.
"We believe the individuals and maybe more are in the photos are involved in the
identity theft ring," said Bill Daugherty, chief deputy with Tipton County
Sheriff's Office. Investigators have released pictures of some of the people
connected to the theft ring and of the vehicles being used -- a 2013 to 2015
Lexus RX has been seen in surveillance video. Investigators say the crooks get
credit cards from retail stores using a stolen social security number. Those
purchases are returned for store gift cards at other stores in the region.
Investigators say the main stores targeted are Best Buy, Target, JC Penney and
Kohl's. It appears, according to law enforcement, to be well coordinated.

Ventura County, CA: Commercial theft and burglary cases lead to multiple arrests
Authorities arrested suspects in several commercial theft and burglary cases

Getting advice from trusted friends, family members, co-workers and former
bosses is always a great thing to do and, quite frankly, it can help you to see
more clearly. But remember, at the end of the day it's your decision to make and
it's your decision that you have to live with. Your friends, co-workers, and
former bosses won't be living with the consequences, but your family will be. So
you've got to be more sensitive to their advice. Advice is easy to give, hard to
follow and almost impossible to live up to. And everyone has a lot of advice to
give; it's the easiest thing to give. Just remember, at 5 a.m. after all the
advice has been given, the mirror may be where the answer lies.
Just a Thought,
Gus
