Steven Kaiser Elected Jewelers' Security Alliance Chair
 Steven Kaiser (pictured), president of Kaiser Time, has been elected the new
chairman of the
Jewelers'
Security
Alliance (JSA). He takes over for Stewart Wicht, the
retiring CEO of Rolex U.S.A., who has completed his three-year term. The
news was announced at the JSA's annual luncheon, which took place on Jan. 12 at
the New York Yacht Club in New York City.
JSA president John Kennedy began the lunch with a moment of silence for the
group's longtime employee who
died in October, and a moment of silence for
one jeweler killed in 2018 during a robbery.
'War on Jewelry Crime' Helps Bring Total Industry Dollar Losses to Record
Low
Despite that one tragedy, Kennedy noted that jewelry crime is continuing to
fall. In 1992, he noted, 37 jewelers were killed. In addition, total dollar
losses have hit a record low since the year 2000. He attributes this to a "war
on jewelry crime" involving law enforcement, which the JSA has helped promote,
along with its members and supporters.
New JSA Board Members Elected
Alan Zimmer, CEO of Reeds Jewelers, a 60-store chain, was newly elected to the
JSA board. Reelected were: Patti Geolat of the Geolat Companies; Chris Hackler
of Signet Jewelers; Mark Smelzer, publisher of JCK; and David Tearle of the
Gemological Institute of America.
Law Enforcement Partners Recognized
JSA also presented the Annual James B. White Law Enforcement Awards to three
members of New Jersey's Paramus Police Department: Deputy Chief Robert M.
Guidetti; Detective Lieutenant Frank Scott, and Detective Nicholas Luciano.

Shutdown Impacts Air
Travel
East Coast Flight Delays - Staffing Shortages
LaGuardia Flights Halted Due to Staffing Shortage
The Federal Aviation Administration halted flights into New York La Guardia
Airport, one of the nation's busiest transportation hubs, due to a shortage
of air-traffic control staff, escalating the pressure on President Donald
Trump and lawmakers to end the government shutdown.
The Federal Aviation Administration ordered a ground stop at the New York
airport, citing staffing at an air traffic control facility in Washington.
Flights at Washington's Reagan National, Newark Liberty International and
Philadelphia International airports were also delayed Friday.
A staffing shortage also was reported at a facility overseeing air traffic in
Jacksonville, Florida, according to an FAA website.

Responsible use of facial biometrics in focus at
World Economic Forum
As issues related to artificial intelligence, and facial biometrics in
particular are receiving significantly increasing attention from the public and
elected representatives, several presentations at The World Economic Forum's (WEF's)
annual meeting for 2019 in Davos, Switzerland have explored the potential
benefits and risks posed by these advanced technologies.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a presentation that self-regulation by
facial recognition providers is important, not sufficient on its own,
CNBC reports.
Heavyweight panel weighs facial recognition benefits and risks

Amazon Is Pushing Facial Technology That a Study
Says Could Be Biased
In new tests, Amazon's system had more difficulty identifying the gender of
female and darker-skinned faces than similar services from IBM and Microsoft.
Over the last two years, Amazon has aggressively marketed its facial recognition
technology
to police departments and federal agencies as a service to help law
enforcement identify suspects more quickly. It has done so as another tech
giant, Microsoft, has
called on Congress to regulate the technology, arguing that it is too
risky for companies to oversee on their own.
Now a new study from researchers at the M.I.T. Media Lab has found that Amazon's
system, Rekognition, had much more difficulty in telling the gender of female
faces and of darker-skinned faces in photos than similar services from IBM and
Microsoft. The results raise questions about potential bias that could hamper
Amazon's drive to popularize the technology. nytimes.com
Fortune Article - LP's CCTVs Getting More
Coverage
"Retailers Are Using Cameras to Help Keep Their Shelves Stocked"
The use of computer vision combined with artificial intelligence in retail is
still in its infancy, but the technology is getting a lot of attention, not just
with small mounted cameras, but also with robots that patrol store aisles to
track inventory on store shelves.
Variations on the idea are pitched as a possible boon to retailers in dealing
with staff shortages, high employee turnover, and constant changes to their
product lineups. Several big chain stores are already experimenting with the
technology.
Walmart is testing robots that scan shelves at 50 stores across the country.
Meanwhile, home improvement store Lowe's has developed robots and shelf cameras
that it is now testing. And finally, Kroger's has partnered with Microsoft to
create "digital shelves that can show ads and change prices on the fly along
with a network of sensors that keep track of products," according to Bloomberg.

#1 Challenge - Talent Shortage
Same For Integrators & Solution Providers
SSN News Poll gauges state of the security systems industry
The majority of News Poll respondents are bullish on 2019 with 85 percent saying
that they see continued growth. In total, 72 percent said they expect "continued
strong growth," while 14 percent said, "yes, but not as strong as 2018," and
another 14 percent said they do not expect to see the same growth in 2019.

Interestingly, respondents were split on what their key challenges are heading
into 2019, with 43 percent saying that "finding and keeping new
talent/employees" is the top challenge and another 43 percent choosing
"adapting to new technologies." The remaining 14 percent chose "having enough
working capital" as the top challenge.
"We find that both 'finding and keeping new talent/employees' (retention/keeping
tenured top performers) is tied closely to one of the other key challenges you
offer: 'adapting to new technologies, trends,'" noted one respondent.

Biggest Internal Retail Fraud Case in History
No jail time for 4 ex-Pilot Flying J employees
Judge orders up probation, service for 'good' citizens turned fraudsters
Good deeds, the judge said, "are not get out of jail free cards," but those good
deeds set four former Pilot Flying J fraudsters free Wednesday.
Senior U.S. District Court Judge Curtis L. Collier on Wednesday turned aside
prison terms for four former Pilot Flying J staffers who engaged in a $56.5
million fraud scheme to trick truckers into doing business with the truck stop
giant with fuel discount offers they never intended to fully pay.
Those four were former sales executives Kevin Clark, Michael Scott
Fenwick and Chris Andrews, and former regional account representative
Katy Bibee. All four struck plea deals, cooperated with authorities and, on
Wednesday, insisted they had been otherwise model citizens who engaged in fraud
to keep their jobs.

Weekly Retail Sales Slide 1.3%, Showing Snow and Shutdown Impact
Adverse weather - including snowstorms across large portions of the country -
coupled with concerns over the ongoing government shutdown ate away at weekly
retail sales as measured by the Retail Economist-Goldman Sachs Weekly Chain
Store Sales Index.
The report follows the release of several research notes from analysts trying to
figure out how retail and apparel sales will shape up this year. The most recent
from AlixPartners sees ongoing erosion of the middle market of traditional
retailing while "digital native" brands gobble up market share across the board.
In the weekly sales report, for the period ended Jan. 19, the index showed a
decline of 1.3 percent. "On a year-over-year basis, the latest week's sales pace
advanced by a sluggish 0.7 percent," said Michael P. Niemira, chief economist of
the Retail Economist LLC.

Millennials are changing remote work
Improving technology and changing expectations of work and family from
millennials are giving rise to a new office arrangement: the coliving/coworking
space, often on the beach but always somewhere far away. It's like WeWork meets
an upgraded hostel (in paradise) with free coffee, fast internet, a kitchen and
quiet spaces, along with all the serendipitous meetings and experiences that
make travel great. Leading the charge are companies like Selina, Outsite and

When the next recession comes, the robots will be
ready
For humans, it's a downturn. For machines, it's an opportunity
Employers slash payrolls going into a downturn and, out of necessity, turn to
software or machinery to take over the tasks once performed by their laid-off
workers as business begins to recover.
As uncertainty
soars, a
shutdown
drags on, and consumer confidence
sputters, economists increasingly predict a recession this year or next.
Whenever this long economic expansion ends, the robots will be ready. The human
labor market is tight, with the unemployment rate at 3.9 percent, but there's
plenty of slack in the robot labor force.
If it can be replaced by technology, it probably won't recover from a
recession.

FBI's 'Voice From the Field" Continues to Get
Coverage
FBI Agents Say Shutdown Is Damaging Cyber Investigations
Funding Holdups for Subpoenas and Confidential Sources Are Interrupting
Probes
FBI agents say the government shutdown is impeding their investigations,
including cybersecurity probes, with the lack of funding compromising their
ability to pay confidential informants and leading to legal processing delays.
 The
FBI Agents Association, composed of current and former FBI agents, on Tuesday
issued a report titled "Voice From The Field." In it, more than four dozen
special agents across the country anonymously describe how the government
shutdown has affected investigations and their personal lives. They also contend
the shutdown is posing a clear and present risk to national security.
Special agents have continued to work without pay because they are deemed
essential. They were last due to be paid on Jan. 11. The FBIAA warned the
prolonged shutdown is affecting agents' financial security, which could then
translate into on-the-job problems.

Many organizations find that getting their data privacy house in order is paying

invested in data privacy to meet GDPR guidelines suffered fewer data breaches in
the past year.
Cisco Systems' new

professionals worldwide, found that nearly 60% of organizations have met most or
all GDPR requirements, and close to 30% expect to do so within a year.

Targeted Attacks Abusing Google Cloud Platform
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services have been targeted by a newly discovered
malware campaign delivering malware via PDF file decoys, according to
Netskope Threat Research Labs.
Attackers are reportedly using the Google Cloud App Engine platform to deliver

victims to malicious payloads. The research conducted by the team verified
evidence of these attacks targeting governments and financial firms worldwide,
with multiple decoys possibly linked to the Cobalt Strike advanced persistent

Meet Scout, Amazon's delivery robot that aims to help solve the last-mile
problem
Trial runs began this week in Washington State
 Amazon's
latest attempt to solve the puzzle of last-mile delivery is neither a whirring
drone nor a smiling delivery person. It's a blue, neat robot bearing Amazon's
logo that's known as Scout, the
company announced.
Scout, which was developed at the company's Seattle research lab, will soon be
moving down sidewalks at a "walking pace" in Washington's Snohomish County
starting this week.
"We're starting with six Amazon Scout devices, delivering packages Monday
through Friday, during daylight hours," Amazon announced in a statement. "The
devices will autonomously follow their delivery route but will initially be
accompanied by an Amazon employee."

Amazon's "Reverse Supply Chain"
Where Pallets of Returned Goods are Resold by Hustlers
With a couple hundred dollars and a few minutes, you could go to a liquidation
website right now and buy a pallet full of stuff that people have returned to
Amazon. It will have, perhaps, been lightly sorted by product category - home
decor, outdoor, apparel - but this is mostly aspirational. For example, in one
pallet labeled "home decor," available for sale on liquidation.com, you could
find hiking crampons, shimmer fabric paint, a High Visibility Thermal Winter
Trapper Hat, a Mr. Ellie Pooh Natural White Paper List Pad, a St. Patrick's Pot
O' Gold Cupcake Decorating Kit, a Spoontiques Golf Thermometer, a Feliz
Cumpleanos Candle Packaged Balloon, and five Caterpillar Hoodies for Pets.
On Amazon's website, sophisticated sorting algorithms relentlessly rank and
organize these products before they go out into the world, but once the goods
return to the warehouse, they shake free of the database and become random
objects thrown together into a box by fate.

Walmart Tests New Payments Approach To Up Online
Conversions
Walmart Labs, the technology arm of Walmart, discovered that most declined
purchases on the retail giant's site were soft declines, which are credit card
rejections due to generic issuer errors such as server timeout or issuer
unavailability. While the site usually sends a customer back to the payment page
to re-enter their credit card information after a soft decline, many customers
ultimately decide to abandon their rejected purchases.
"To save the orders dropped off from Soft Declines, we implemented a feature
that automatically resends the same card/name/address information the customer
had previously entered after the payment receives a Soft Decline," wrote Ling
Jing, product analytics manager, payments, in a blog post. "The response of the
automatic attempt overwrites the initial Soft Decline status. This version
retries once, and the response on the auto retry is the final status of the
attempt and was tested against the original version using Expo."
