"Look at camera for entry - Facial recognition in use."
Portland gas station using facial recognition technology to curb crime
 The
company installed facial recognition technology there and at other stores. They
say it's to prevent theft and potential danger by controlling who's allowed in.
There's a somewhat noticeable camera right above the entrance to the store. The
idea is the camera recognizes the face of people caught for things like
shoplifting and robbery at the store and doesn't allow them access inside. The
sign next to the camera says "Look at camera for entry. Facial recognition in
use." Regulars tell KGW they first noticed it a couple months ago.
KGW reached out to Jacksons Food Stores, Inc. corporate office in Idaho multiple
times Monday to find out what time of day the software is in use, what crimes
exactly get you banned from the store, or whether you can appeal it if you
happen to get misidentified. The company did not return our emails.

Costco Employee Claim to Proceed
Tourette's Syndrome & Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Claim
Hostile Work Environment Under ADA Can Proceed Against Costco
The plaintiff began his employment with Costco Wholesale Corp. in 1996 in its
Holbrook, N.Y., warehouse. During his tenure, his positions included serving as
a member of the floor crew, an assistant cashier, a cashier and a greeter. In
June 2013, the Holbrook warehouse came under new management.
Due to his conditions, the plaintiff would frequently touch the floor before
moving and would cough to avoid swearing, which was a verbal tic. According to
the plaintiff, following his transfer from greeter to assistant cashier, some
co-workers would mock his condition by saying "hut-hut-hike" to mimic his verbal
and physical tics. He further alleged that management overheard and was aware of
these remarks, although management denied ever hearing such comments.

CVS Wins in Non-Compete Agreement - SVP Exec is
Blocked
Former SVP CVS exec can't work for Amazon's PillPack, judge rules
A federal judge on Tuesday blocked a former CVS Health executive from working at
Amazon.com Inc's PillPack online pharmacy unit, saying that allowing him to take
a job where he would help drive its "disruptive strategy" would violate a
non-compete agreement.
"Months after entering an independent standalone agreement ... for which he was
well-compensated, Mr. Lavin, a high senior official at CVS with access to very
confidential information, went to work for a competitor," Judge McConnell said.
"That is wrong, and CVS is entitled to have the agreement enforced."'
In 2017, Lavin signed an agreement not to provide the "same or similar" service
to a Caremark competitor or take a job that "will likely result" in his
disclosing confidential information to a competitor for 18 months after leaving
the company, according to the order. CVS paid Lavin in stock worth nearly
$160,000 for his signing, the order said.

The CBD Market is Booming
But Hershey Says It Has 'No Plans' to Add CBD to Candy - Yet
Chocolates and gummy candy have become a popular vehicle for CBD, but the
non-psychoactive cannabis compound won't be in Hershey products anytime soon.
Hershey CEO Michele Buck said that the 125-year-old company is monitoring the
trend but doesn't have any plans to add CBD to its food just yet.
Currently, the Food and Drug Administration prohibits adding the compound to
food and beverages because it is a main ingredient in a drug used to treat
childhood epilepsy. The agency held its first hearing in late May to better
understand CBD and how to regulate it.
As
reported in the Daily last month, at $641 million U.S. sales in 2018,
CBD sales are expected to grow significantly over the next three years. In its
2019 report, the Hemp Business Journal projects that total CBD sales in the U.S.
could hit $1.5 billion by 2020 and $2.26 billion by 2022.

Forget the Mall, Shoppers Are Buying Gucci at Airports
Average Traveler - 3 or 4 Trips Per Yr.
72 Minutes Between Flights = "The Golden Hour'
 Makers
of luxury goods from liquor to perfume think they have found the antidote to the
fading American shopping mall: airport terminals.
For the first time last year, Estée Lauder Co. generated more revenue at
airports globally than at U.S. department stores, which for decades had been
beauty companies' biggest sales driver. Other luxury-goods companies, from
spirits maker Bacardi Ltd. to Kering SA's KER -0.56% Gucci, are also expanding
their presence at airport terminals.
 "Very
few channels have almost guaranteed traffic," said Olivier Bottrie, who heads
Estée Lauder's global travel-retail business. "When a department store goes
away, it's not a major catastrophe. But if a major airport went away, it would
be a major catastrophe."
Travelers, especially those coming from Asia, increasingly work high-end
shopping sprees into their trips, planning layovers around access to lavish
shopping, executives say.
Especially attractive is the influx of travelers with disposable income from
emerging markets such as China, India, Russia and Brazil, where the
fast-expanding middle class means untapped potential.

NY Times: Adidas Sells Diversity - Black
Employees Say It Doesn't Practice It
Fewer than 4.5 percent of the workers at the company's North American

'A lot of lip service' "What is frustrating is that none of us are empowered to

create a diverse workplace, but if anything, the numbers are getting worse. And
they don't care. It's a lot of lip service." nytimes.com
KPMG: Women Executives Believe
They Must Adjust Their Leadership Style More Often Than Men To Advance
A majority of executive women say they must both change their leadership styles
and be more adaptable than their male counterparts in order to lead successfully
and advance in their careers, according to a new study released today by KPMG
LLP, the U.S. audit, tax, and advisory firm.
"Advancing
the Future of Women in Business: A KPMG Women's Leadership Summit Report"
polled 550 high-performing executive women who are 1-2 career steps away from
the C-suite and have participated in the KPMG Women's Leadership Summit.
Key Findings:
Because of feedback like being "too bossy or demanding," "not aggressive
enough," "not collaborative enough," and "too direct," 58% of women surveyed
admit to changing their leadership style to combat such perceptions.

New Survey
Getting Lots of Media Coverage
Turning Cybersecurity Into a Competitive Advantage
70% of Seniors Experienced Cyberattack in Last 12 Months
Survey: Cybersecurity becoming key business driver by C-suite
Executives that participated in the
2019 C-Suite Perspectives: From Defense to
Offense, Executives Turn Information Security Into a Competitive Advantage study
found that the four main business impacts of a security incident were customer
loss (45%), brand reputation loss (44%) and revenue loss or operational (32%
each).
Companies still have a long way to go to protect themselves. A majority (70%)
of senior executives surveyed in North America and Europe report their
company experienced a cyberattack in the prior twelve months.
The predominance of cybersecurity as a business issue extends to the board, with
72% of executives reporting information security is an agenda item for every
board meeting. Respondents estimated an average cost per attack of about
$4.6M and the proportion of respondents estimating that the total cost of
cyberattacks to their organization is more than $10 million nearly doubled in
frequency from 2018 (7%) to 2019 (13%).
At the same time, customers want to understand what companies have done to
secure their products and services. Three-quarters of executives report that
security is a key part of their marketing messages, and 50% of companies
surveyed offer dedicated security products and services to their customers.
Additionally, 41% offer security features as add-ons within their products and
services, and another 7% are considering building security services into their
products.

Extreme Weather Poses Bigger Cyber Risk
Floods, storms and other natural phenomena caused half of all the hours of
telecommunications downtime in Europe last year, highlighting an area of
increased concern for corporate risk managers.
Outages occur more frequently because storms are causing more damage to network
infrastructure across Europe.
 Still,
companies can prepare for the fallout. Hackers are more likely to launch
cyberattacks when companies are vulnerable, such as during an outage or other
crisis.
In particular, hackers might time their attacks around disasters if they aim to
cause maximum damage to a company, he said. During a power outage, for example,
corporate security professionals should watch out for suspicious activity on
telecoms networks.
Some corporate cybersecurity leaders inform staff about emergency precautions
before a storm is expected to hit, WSJ Pro Cybersecurity
reported in September ahead of Hurricane Florence. Those measures can
include avoiding email because cyber criminals are more likely to target
employees during a chaotic period like a natural disaster.
Risk managers might rely on similar strategies to respond to weather-related and
cybersecurity threats. Those include assessing the security of service providers
and making sure employees continue to have access to emergency response manuals
if internet service goes down, Mr. Brill said. WSJ

As Cloud Adoption Grows, DLP Remains Key
Challenge
McAfee's new
"Cloud Adoption and Risk Report."
Most cloud adopters (87%) report business acceleration, and 52% claim to
experience better security. A closer look at the numbers, however, reveals a
need to better control information and applications in the cloud.
Only 26% of respondents say they can audit infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS)
configurations such as open access to storage buckets. One-third say they can
control application collaboration settings. Slightly more (36%) can enforce data
loss prevention (DLP) in the cloud. More than 35% of businesses with a cloud
access security broker (CASB) are more likely to be able to launch new products
and speed time to market - but only one-third of respondents use them.
Two years ago, security was the main obstacle to cloud adoption as companies
hesitated to share data with providers. Now, with providers buckling down on
security and business decisions accelerating the transition to the cloud,
they've grown accustomed to the switch but fail to realize cloud providers don't
cover all security. In some ways, they're still responsible.

Man files human rights complaint after Costco searched his backpack but not
women's purses
Company says bag search policy is stated on
signs and in membership brochure
 A
B.C. man says he was discriminated against because his backpack was searched
while leaving a Costco store but female customers with large purses didn't get
the same treatment. Ryan Morris filed a complaint with the B.C. Human Rights
Tribunal claiming discrimination on the basis of sex. The tribunal
recently dismissed his claim.
"To some degree, Mr. Morris' complaint relies on the assumption that men carry
backpacks while women carry purses," wrote tribunal member Pamela Murray in her
decision. "I note that women may use backpacks and, equally, men may carry what
may traditionally have been referred to as purses."
The decision says Morris, who describes himself as a white man and a Costco
member since 2000, claims that on one day each in June and July 2017 a female
attendant asked to check his backpack as he left the store. The incidents
embarrassed him, the decision says, because other members stared at him as they
left.
In response to his complaint at the time, the manager pointed out the sign at
the store's entrance that reminds members that Costco may search their bags. The
policy is also stated in Costco's membership agreement.

'Let Go of My Hand!': Old Navy Employee Follows Black Shopper Outside of Store,
Attempts to Apprehend Her for Allegedly Stealing
A Canadian woman is speaking out after she says she was racially profiled and
assaulted by an Old Navy staff member who accused her of shoplifting from the
store.
Calderon, who arrived wearing a shirt with the tag still attached, said she was
there to make an exchange and was considering buying a white dress she tried on,
that is until she claims she was racially profiled. After taking her concerns to
management, the woman said she decided to take her business elsewhere. That's
when she says she was followed and confronted by an Old Navy employee.
Video from the incident shows the worker grabbing Calderon by the arm and
refusing to let go, despite her repeated objections. "If she doesn't let go
of me I'm going to press charges!" she shouts. "Stephanie, I'm going to press
charges against you. Let go of my hand." A pair of security guards stand idly
by as the two women go back and forth.
Stephanie, still holding Calderon by the arm, accuses the woman of leaving with
an item - a $13 shirt - she did not arrive with and demands to see her receipt,
proving she made a purchase. When Calderon refuses, the employee presumes she's
guilty.
The video sparked a torrent of angry reactions from social media users, many who
chided the employee for putting her hands on the woman.

Did shortage of security & police lead to shooting at Toronto Raptors parade?
'I Am Amazed That There Weren't More Injuries'
 There
were significant security flaws in how the event was executed. I am amazed that
there weren't more injuries. Had the Raptors played like this event was run they
would have been eliminated in the first round. The square was already jammed to
capacity, and there were too many people forced against fences.
The first sign that things may not go according to plan was when the media
accreditation table had to be moved because of the crowds were so large and
overwhelming. I have attended many significant events. The first thing I noticed
was the total lack of police from other police forces. We do not have
enough police in the entire city for a parade with one million never mind two
million people.
There were not enough security or police in the square and there were too
many people. There was no way to control the crowd. There was no way to
police the crowd or help people in distress. There was also a lack of security
and planning around the buses and the parade route which caused them to run
massively behind schedule - causing more distress to the tens of thousands of
people in the square.

GTA: 22 males arrested in series of cellphone store robberies, 9 cases
remain unsolved
 Toronto
Police say an investigation into 32 reported cellphone store robberies in the
Greater Toronto Area over a six-month period has resulted in the
arrest of 22 males and laying 278 charges. However, nine of those cases are
still unsolved. Insp. Lauren Pogue held a news conference detailing the
investigation, dubbed the "Matrix Bandits," which started in December 2018. The
string of robberies spread across the GTA in the areas of Toronto, York, Peel,
Halton and Hamilton, according to police.
Police said that during the robberies, between two and five males would enter
stores and control and intimidate employees and customers by using weapons,
threats and zip ties. The employees were ordered to fill large gym bags with
cellphones, said investigators. Police said the suspects would then flee the
stores using stolen vehicles and car-jacking, said police. Investigators allege
the group was using social media platforms to recruit more members.

Advertisers, agencies and social media combine to
tackle online threat
Sixteen of the world's biggest advertisers have joined together to push
platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Google's YouTube to do more to tackle
dangerous and fake content online.
The Global Alliance for Responsible Media will also include media buying
agencies from the major ad groups - WPP, IPG, Publicis, Omnicom and Dentsu - as
well as the platform owners, the group said on Tuesday at the ad industry's
annual gathering in Cannes, France. According to a statement by the group, the
initial focus will be on content dangerous to society, such as that promoting or
recruiting for terrorism. The alliance will work to to reduce the impact of such
material by developing protocols and processes that platforms can use to police
themselves.
Members of the alliance include Procter & Gamble, General Mills, Mastercard,
Facebook, Twitter, Google, Omnicom Media Group, and GroupM. reuters.com
Amazon Adding 30 Cargo Jets - Expanding Fleet to
70
Amazon is taking to the skies to help make one-day delivery a reality.
 Amazon
is partnering with GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) to lease an
additional 15 Boeing 737-800 cargo aircraft. These 15 aircraft will be in
addition to five Boeing 737-800s already leased from GECAS and announced earlier
this year. In addition, Amazon
expanded upon an existing 40-plane lease partnership with Air Transport
Services Group (ATSG) by leasing 10 Boeing 767 cargo planes in December 2018.
Amazon launched Amazon Air in 2016 to support package delivery without relying
on third-party shipping providers such as UPS, FedEx, or the U.S. Postal
Service. Leveraging advanced algorithms and software used for capacity and route
planning, the e-tail titan says Amazon Air can transport hundreds of thousands
of packages per day.
The company's fleet of at least 50 leased aircraft will fly in the U.S. out of
the more than 20 air gateways in the Amazon Air network.

suspect remains hospitalized after an officer involved shooting at a restaurant
in Mansfield. The incident happened in the early morning hours at the IHOP
restaurant off Highway 287. Witnesses tell said a man came into the restaurant,
pulled out a weapon, and began waving it around. Concerned diners called 911 and
when responding officers arrived they set up perimeter, allowing customers to
exit out the back of the restaurant. Officers at the scene say they saw the man
"pointing his gun in several different directions as he was moving through the
restaurant," said Sgt. Travis Waybourn. The suspect, who has not been
identified, also attempted to leave the building "while displaying the weapon."
Police say the man ignored verbal commands and continued to approach an officer
who then "fired on the suspect striking him in the lower torso."

Rocky River, OH: Elderly man threatens to shoot
Get Go employee over lotto number mistake
An 82-year-old man is no longer welcome at one Rocky River gas station after he
became belligerent with employees. The elderly man reportedly entered the Get Go
to purchase lottery tickets around 5:30 a.m. on June 16. The man, who is known
to lawfully carry a concealed handgun, began complaining that the employees
never get his lottery numbers correct. Police said he threatened to set his gun
on the counter if the clerk didn't run the numbers correctly. He then threatened
to shoot the clerk's fingers off. The man eventually left the store without
further incident. We're told the clerk was understandably upset, but ultimately
declined to press charges against the man.

Louis County: Instant Karma; Thieves steal a Boa Constrictor, bitten during
get-a-way
It happened at the Exotic Amphibian Reptile Center. "The entire box, the whole
cage and took it," said owner James Brumley about the Sunday theft. Brumley said
the two women posing as customers first inquired about a particular pet. Brumley
said that's when the two women saw an opportunity and went through with their
plan to steal the boa while in its cage before driving off with the reptile. "The girl that was working said that as she realized they grabbed it and came
outside as the car drove off and heard someone scream," Brumley said. That's
because he believes the boa may have bitten one of them.

Take the Pledge
Diversity - Inclusion - Equality
Hire 1 Diversity Team Member in Next 3 or 4 Hires
Two Executives Attend NRF Protect 2020 Free
 As
we challenged the attendees at the NRF's Ring of Excellence Award keynote
session last Thursday we'd like to extend the challenge industry-wide by
including it here in our Tip of the Day column.
For over twenty years the Daily has quietly sponsored Keith White's, EVP The
Gap, International Organization of Black Security Executives (IOBSE) conference
and website. With building and hosting the site for over twenty years now, while
Keith White has helped literally hundreds of young college students enter the
work force. His efforts have truly made a difference and impacted so many.
Therefore we feel it's only appropriate to challenge every retailer out there to
make concerted effort and make the pledge that they'll hire a diversity
candidate within the next four hires and be more inclusive in their overall
hiring practices.
|
With Joan Manson's NRF group, Women in LP, having
made such an industry impact, let's keep it going and broaden it to
include all the nation's retailers.
Take the pledge and let us know how it progresses over
the next year and the two retailers making the biggest impact,
percentage wise, will select one of these executives to attend
NRF Protect 2020 free of charge and with absolutely no
obligation. The two retailers will also be featured in a
Spotlight on Leadership column sharing their story, all of
which will be monitored and any ties decided by the NRF VP of LP Bob
Moraca. |
