indicators and optimism for the third and fourth quarters.
The tone of the call was positive focusing on yearly gains and a positive look
at financial outcomes for the rest of 2022.
"We delivered what I believe is our best quarter ever at ADT," said ADT
President and CEO Jim DeVries. A snapshot of the financials shows a revenue
growth of 23 percent over the prior year and an adjusted net income of $50
million, or $0.06 per share. Total revenue in the second quarter was $1.6
billion, up 23 percent, with an end-of-period recurring monthly revenue (RMR) of
$369 million, up 5 percent.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
C-Store Assaults Up 75% - Grocery Store
Assaults Up 63%
Violence Against Retail Workers Is on the Rise. How to Keep Your Team Safe
Fostering a safe workplace starts with
strong internal policies and good communication--a framework employees need to
stay alert and decisive in the face of potential violence.
Here's yet another reason why you may be
having a hard time filling your retail positions: Grocery and retail
businesses are seeing an uptick in violence.
Between
2018 to 2020, assaults in grocery stores rose by 63
percent and those in convenience stores by 75 percent--that's
compared with an overall 42 percent rise in assaults over that same period,
according to FBI data reported by the
New York Times. Although workplace violence dipped in 2020--the result
of Covid workplace closures--it has steadily risen since, with a particular
increase in the retail space, says Kenna Carlsen, a research associate at the
National Safety Council, an
Itasca, Illinois-headquartered nonprofit that advocates for public safety.
The reasons for the
increase in violence are manifold. Mask enforcement, for one, has
resulted in customer disagreements that can turn violent, Carlsen says.
In a recent roundtable, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce also noted an uptick
in organized retail crime, which impacts both online and physical retail
businesses.
Businesses may not have the power to totally prevent violence, but there are
actionable ways they can better prepare their employees to recognize,
deescalate, and manage potentially violent interactions on the job. Here's how.
Formalize a plan and response
"The most essential step you can take to protect your employees is
having a really strong workplace violence policy in place," Carlsen
says. Carlsen recommends that leaders refer to the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration's workplace violence resources--like
its
Recommendations for Workplace Violence Prevention Programs in Late-Night Retail
Establishments guide--to create an effective and thorough workplace
safety handbook.
Improve employee communication and training
"Employees are the eyes and ears of your organization," Carlsen says. That's why
it's important for leaders to involve them in the development of your workplace
violence prevention program. Speak with your employees about potential risks
they've noticed on the job, regular customers who might be a threat, and any
measures they would find helpful with regards to maintaining a safe workplace.

Stopping Retail Shootings Before They Happen
Securing Retail Stores with AI-Powered Visual Gun Detection
Technology can help stores rapidly recognize
firearms, preconfigure actions, issue active shooter notifications and provide
instructions on how to respond.
Retail
fatalities are on the rise, leaving store owners and patrons more vulnerable
than ever before. In fact, according to the
D&D Daily's 2020 Retail Violent Fatalities Report, retail fatalities were up
40% between 2015 and 2020, with 2020 racking up the most fatalities and
incidents ever reported in a single year. And as we near the half-mark of 2022,
that trend is only continuing as evidenced by recent events such as the Buffalo
supermarket shooting. Clearly the retail industry needs more preventative
strategies to curb this alarming trend, and one of the most promising
solutions is visual gun detection with artificial intelligence (AI).
An AI-equipped visual system leverages multiple cameras in a store (and
oftentimes outside the store) and can detect the presence of a gun threat and
raise an alarm independently of where store personnel are located. The
system can also automatically send out alerts to onsite or offsite security
and/or first responders.
How AI Visual Gun Detection Works
In under one second, an AI-powered visual gun detection system can identify a
visible gun, and when it does, it sends an alert to a designated person that the
store decided on earlier. This could be a security officer at the store, the
owner, an employee or a third-party service on hand to monitor alerts 24/7. Once
the designated person confirms the active shooter, they can then initiate a
series of actions depending on a previously agreed upon plan and the
capabilities the store has built into its security system.
Leveraging Existing Investment in Video Surveillance
One of the advantages of technologies such as visual gun detection is that they
can be integrated seamlessly with most existing IP-based security cameras and
video management systems. This is an important point because many retail stores
have already invested heavily in their security system, and they want to
leverage that, not replace it. Their cameras don't change, but they are
harnessed with AI-powered software that can proactively spot and potentially
prevent harm if acted upon.

NYC Fatal Stabbings Surge 43% Amid Crime Spike
Stabbings on rise in NYC during surge in major crime
Stabbings are on a rise in the Big Apple amid
a citywide surge in major crime, according to the latest figures
obtained by The Post. The statistics, which cover the period through Aug. 7,
show that stabbings have risen by 11% compared to the same span last year
- from 2,465 to 2,756.
Fatal
stabbings have jumped a whopping 43% - from 48 to 69 - during the
same period, the data shows.
"People aren't afraid to carry guns, so obviously they are not worried [about
carrying] knives," a Manhattan cop told The Post. "Plus it is a lot easier to
get a hold of a knife." A Staten Island cop blamed the lack of serious
consequences for offenders.
The rise in stabbings comes amid a 36% spike in major crime citywide as
of Sunday.
Grand larceny was up a whopping 48.3%, from
20,374 to 30,205 incidents, auto theft rose 42%, from 5,589 to 7,939, and
robbery jumped 39.8%, from 7,366 to 10,294,
over the same period in 2021, the data show.
Meanwhile, murders were down 8.1%, from 284 to 261, the number of people
shot dropped 7.4%, from 1,101 to 1,020, and the number of shooting incidents
fell 10.1%, from 938 to 843, according to the NYPD data.
"The politicians will say 'Murder is down!' and ignore everything else," Joseph Giacalone, a retired NYPD sergeant and adjunct professor at John Jay College of
Criminal Justice in Manhattan told The Post earlier this week. "Meanwhile,
everything else is God awful."

Crime & Violence Not Keeping Shoppers Away
Is retail crime another reason to shop online?
Post-COVID, both empty storefronts and
retail crime can be seen as deterrents to shopping brick-and-mortar stores.
It's hard to escape the violence permeating our cities and this country -
particularly the associated gun violence. We should consider selling and
shopping, not survival and retail crime.
Retail crime does not appear to be a shopping deterrent, but some of its
byproducts may be formidable. Those are the sentiments of shoppers I reached
out to who live and shop everywhere from urban to suburban stores. Rather than
identifying individuals, the thoughts expressed seemed to be consistent among
those who shared their opinions.
"I don't think higher store robbery rates would cause me to shop less in stores,
even if I did know about them happening in the suburbs. Maybe I'm more rational
than others, but there's more of a chance of me getting hurt just
walking/driving around than getting hurt or even involved in a robbery.
Statistically, it doesn't seem to be an issue that would cause me to slow
shopping even if I were to be in an area with the higher retail crime
rates."
A resident of Chicago's Gold Coast reflected, "The only crime-related reason
that I am doing less in-store shopping is that there are fewer brick-and-mortar
stores to shop. Between the pandemic and crime, many merchants in my 'hood,
the Gold Coast and what was once the Miracle Mile (Chicago), have closed their
doors. That said, aside from apparel, I have always been an online shopper
and, more than crime, supply chain issues have increased my spending via the
internet. In an effort to support local merchants, I will typically try to find
something in two or three locations. Then, I'll buy online when not able to
locate whatever I am seeking in-store."

Progressive Manhattan DA Defends Crime
Policies
Op-Ed: To reduce NYC crime, invest in prevention
Last week, the Manhattan DA's office - along with its partners in the NYPD and
the U.S. attorney for the Southern District - announced sweeping indictments
against 24 alleged members of a violent criminal organization, charging them
with numerous shootings, murders, drug trafficking and gunpoint robberies
across Manhattan and the Bronx.
This
week, the Manhattan DA's office is partnering with CUNY's Institute for State &
Local Governance (ISLG) to award 10 community-based organizations with $20,000
each. These investments will engage young New Yorkers with supportive
services and work in the community - methods proven to keep young people,
and their neighbors, safe from gun violence.
While these two approaches are fundamentally different - the former a strong
enforcement action and the latter a critical prevention strategy - both are
essential to stop the swell of crime and gun violence that has plagued New York
City, and the nation, since the pandemic began.
Enforcement is a blunt tool to stop known drivers of violence from continuing to
harm the community. Last week's gang takedown was just the latest enforcement
action by DA Bragg. Our office has increased gun prosecutions by 26% this
year compared to last - in many cases seizing guns from alleged domestic
abusers.
While we have more work to do, as of early August, homicides in Manhattan are
down 12.5% this year compared to last, and shootings are down almost 20%
- outpacing declines citywide in both categories.
But enforcement alone won't deliver the enduring safety we need. It must
be paired with community partnerships to prevent violence upstream, provide
support for victims of crime, and help those leaving incarceration thrive and
avoid returning to jail.
Drivers of violence must and will be held accountable today. But preventing
other young people from taking their place tomorrow on the path to violence and
prison is the only sustainable way to deliver both safety and justice to our
communities. We will continue to bring to justice those who commit violent
crimes, but we all agree that a crime prevented is always better than a crime
prosecuted.

Crime Surges as Cities Grapple with Police
Shortage
'Overwhelmed': Cops combat violent crime as ranks dwindle
Portland, Oregon, police confront a spike in
killings and more than 100 officer vacancies.
From Philadelphia to Portland to Los Angeles, killings and gun violence are
rising at the same time officers worn out by the pandemic and disillusioned
over the calls to divest from policing that followed George Floyd's murder are
quitting or retiring faster than they can be replaced.
Departments are scrambling to recruit in a tight labor market and also
rethinking what services they can provide and what role police should play
in their communities. Many have shifted veteran officers to patrol, breaking up
specialized teams built over decades in order to keep up with 911 calls.
Portland logged a record 89 homicides last year - roughly three times its
historical average - and is on pace to top that this year after already tallying
more than 50. A report completed for the city last month by the California
Partnership for Safe Communities found it had the largest homicide rate
increase among similarly sized cities and 75% of homicides in 2020 were by gun.
The city has seen nearly 800 shootings this year.
That follows a national trend. While non-violent crime decreased during the
pandemic, the murder rate increased nearly 30% in 2020 and the rate of
assaults went up 10%, according to the Brennan Center for Justice.
What law enforcement says is a staffing crisis could actually be a case of
misdirected resources, said Christy Lopez, co-director of Georgetown Law
School's Center for Innovations in Community Safety. Understaffed departments
sometimes shift detectives to patrol because of political pressure, but research
shows solving violent crime depresses crime rates more effectively than
putting rank-and-file officers on the street, Lopez said.
In Philadelphia, the department is down 550 officers from pre-pandemic
staffing and another 860 are on medical leave or restricted duty.

Social Distancing & Quarantine Guidelines
Loosened by the CDC
CDC drops quarantine, screening recommendations for COVID-19
The nation's top public health agency on Thursday relaxed its COVID-19
guidelines, dropping the recommendation that Americans quarantine themselves
if they come into close contact with an infected person.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also said people no longer
need to stay at least 6 feet away from others. The changes are driven by a
recognition that - more than 2 1/2 years since the start of the pandemic - an
estimated 95% of Americans 16 and older have acquired some level of immunity,
either from being vaccinated or infected, agency officials said.
"The current conditions of this pandemic are very different from those of the
last two years," said the CDC's Greta Massetti, an author of the guidelines.
The CDC recommendations apply to everyone in the U.S., but the changes
could be particularly important for schools, which resume classes this month in
many parts of the country.

How Major Retailers Prepare for Natural
Disasters - Part 3: The Home Depot
How The Home Depot Responds to Natural Disasters
On August 24, 1992, The Home Depot had an awakening. It was the day Hurricane
Andrew devastated South Florida and when we learned that we were not only a
retail store, but also a part of the infrastructure of communities to assist
citizens, first responders and relief organizations when disasters strike.
During
big storms, our merchandising, supply chain and operations teams work around
the clock in a complex effort to move necessary product and equipment to
stores caught in the path of hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes, wildfires and
other crippling events. Meanwhile, our human resources team, alongside
The Homer Fund,
activates to support associates in dangers way while our operations teams work
to be the last stores to close and the first to reopen to help communities
recover.
Our stores often become command centers for first responders and relief
agencies. The Home Depot Foundation partners with nonprofit organizations
like Team Rubicon, an organization that rallies military veterans to help and
empower communities in the wake of a disaster, to help deliver the right aid to
the right people - right when they need it. The Foundation also contributes to
the American Red Cross' Annual Disaster Giving Program to ensure it's prepared
to respond immediately after a disaster strikes.
Rebuilding after a natural disaster takes time, money and energy that many
victims simply don't have to spare. That's where we come in. From making sure
emergency supplies are on hand to helping repair and rebuild, Team Depot, our
associate-led volunteer force, instinctively goes into action to make sure
our communities have the support they need to recover.

Retailers: Time to Review Your Disaster Plans
Strategies for Retailers to Weather the Storm this Hurricane Season
Hurricane Season 2022 is underway, and with it comes the looming threat of
outages and downtime for retailers. Forecasters are projecting an
above-average storm season for the sixth consecutive year, with the first
tropical storms forming and Hurricane Agatha already making landfall in May. As
we head into the peak of the season, retailers should review their disaster
avoidance strategies as they seek to protect critical equipment and prevent
downtime.
The
Impact of Downtime
Natural disasters are a threat to any retailer's bottom line as downtime can
severely hinder a store's ability to drive revenue. According to the Uptime
Institute's 2022 Outage Analysis, more than 60% of outages reported in the
time covered resulted in at least $100,000 in total losses, up from 39% in 2019.
This will likely come as no surprise to many, as the COVID-19 pandemic led many
retailers to adopt new digital strategies that made them heavily reliant on
digital infrastructure and ecommerce.
Address the Threat
Prevention and visibility are essential factors in achieving the always-on
power retailers demand, especially with many retailers pushing data to
distributed infrastructure at multiple locations. While both big box chains
and small businesses face the same size and scope of natural disasters, each
retailer should take a unique approach that fits their individual needs.
A disaster avoidance strategy that incorporates integrated power management
technology should serve as retailers' first line of defense against outages
stemming from hurricanes and other disasters. Depending on the size of the
retailer and number of stores it operates, such a system should include the
following:
●
Uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs)
●
Disaster avoidance software
●
Remote monitoring and predictive analytics
To avoid compromising customer data and privacy, retailers should make sure to
incorporate cybersecurity safeguards as part of any decisions around procuring
power management equipment, especially as ransomware has grown in prominence and
impact.

The Growing Physical Security Market
Report Predicts $62.75 Billion Growth for Physical Security Over Next Four Years
Global concerns about crime and terrorism
cited as reasons for market growth
The
growth of the physical security market is picking up speed thanks to global
concerns about crime and terrorism. Global market research firm Technavio has
released its 2022-2026 forecast and analysis for the physical security market,
with a forecast estimating an increase of $62.75 billion over the next four
years.
Driving factors in this market growth are driven by global concerns about crime
and terrorism, Technavio said. The report cites major contributing factors
such as growing populations in modern cities and unemployment among youth.
The firm also said that the incidents of crime and terrorism are not only a
concern for developing nations.
"Terrorism and crime incidents are not limited to developing economies; the
number of such incidents is also rising in developed economies," Technavio
noted. "Hence, businesses, as well as commercial and residential complexes,
are employing physical security solutions, which involve video surveillance,
access control, and others."

Nationwide Starbucks Union Strikes
Starbucks workers hold strikes in at least 17 states amid union drive
Workers allege over 75 people have been
fired in retaliation for organizing this year
Workers
at Starbucks have held over 55 different strikes in at least 17 states in the
US in recent months over the company's aggressive opposition to a wave of
unionization.
According to an estimate by Starbucks Workers United, the strikes have cost
Starbucks over $375,000 in lost revenue. The union created a $1m strike fund
in June 2022 to support Starbucks workers through their strikes and several
relief funds have been established for strikes and to support workers who have
lost their jobs.
Starbucks employees have alleged over 75 workers have been fired in
retaliation for union organizing this year, and hundreds of allegations of
misconduct by Starbucks related to the union campaign are currently under
review at the National Labor Relations Board, including claims of
shutting down stores to bust unions,
firing workers and intimidating and threatening workers from unionizing.
Starbucks has denied all allegations.
More than 200 Starbucks stores around the US have won their union votes,
with dozens of stores currently waiting for their election votes.

The End of the Great Resignation - At Least in
One Sector
Restaurant mogul Danny Meyer says inflation is ending the Great Resignation in
the hospitality industry
As
everything from food to energy gets more expensive, restaurant goers are also
tipping their waiters more-making the historically high turnover sector a bit
more attractive for employees.
Inflation-inspired higher tips are driving workers back into the restaurant
industry, Danny Meyer, the founder of Union Square Hospitality Group, which
owns of Shake Shack and a number of other NYC-based restaurants, told CNBC on
Tuesday.
"Inflation has cut both ways in our industry... There's no question that
menu prices are higher than they've ever been," Meyer said in an interview with
Jim Cramer on "Mad Money." For hospitality workers, this means "if you do
have a tipping model in your restaurants, servers are making more money than
they've ever made before."
The opportunity to make more money in tips now-compared to low-inflation times-may
slow down the Great Resignation in the sector, in which quitting has reached
epidemic levels.

Another Pharmacy Chain Under Fire for Opioid
Crisis
WVa AG reaches settlement with Rite Aid over opioid supply
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey's office has reached a
settlement with Rite Aid that may total up to $30 million in a lawsuit
alleging oversupply of opioids at pharmacies in the state, he said Thursday.
"Money will not bring back the lives lost from this epidemic, but we are looking
for accountability," Morrisey said in a statement. The lawsuit alleged the
pharmacy chain failed to monitor and report suspicious orders of prescription
painkillers.
The lawsuit against the remaining pharmacy defendants continues, with a trial
date in September, the statement said.
Funds from all opioid settlements will be distributed under an agreement with
cities and counties on the use of future settlement proceeds to address the
opioid crisis in the state, the statement said.

$10 Million Reward for Ransomware Gang Members
State Department offers $10M for details on Conti ransomware gang members
The
State Department on Thursday announced a $10 million reward for information
related to five specific individuals associated with the Conti ransomware group.
The Russian-based cybercriminal group has wreaked havoc around the world.
As of January 2022, there were more than 1,000 victims
of attacks associated with Conti ransomware and
payouts exceeding $150 million, according to the FBI.
The agency is seeking information on Conti associates known as "Tramp," "Dandis,"
"Professor," "Reshaev" and "Target," the agency said Thursday and
first reported by Wired. A previous reward offer,
announced May 6, promised $10 million for information leading to the
identification and/or location of people who held "a key leadership position"
within Conti. An additional $5 million reward was available to anybody
who could provide information leading to the arrest and or conviction of anybody
in any country conspiring to take part in a Conti variant ransomware attack.
Agency officials made the announcement at
Black
Hat, the annual cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas that brings
together cybersecurity experts and policy makers from around the world. The
State Department had a booth at the event advertising the rewards - with
T-shirts, posters, casino chips with QR codes - which are administered through
its
Rewards for Justice program.
On Feb. 25, the day after Russia invaded Ukraine,
a message appeared on the group's website pledging support for Russia and
warning that it would attack "the critical infrastructures" of any country
that took action against Russia. The group quickly softened the message, but a
Ukrainian researcher with access to Conti's servers released a trove of messages
exposing the inner workings of the group.
Some thought the situation
hobbled the group, but it remains up and running. In late April the
group launched a series of attacks
on the government of Costa Rica, demanding $20 million and calling for
protests in the streets as the government refused to pay. In July, researchers
with
IBM's Security X-Force published research showing TrickBot, an associated
cybercrime operation, had been "systematically attacking Ukraine."
But the chats did offer a window into the day-to-day operations of the group,
showing it to be a highly organized, if somewhat inefficient, and structured
operation. "Target," for instance, was seen chatting to "Stern," one of the
main leaders, about various teams' monthly salaries, according to an
analysis from cybersecurity firm Trellix, implying some kind of management
role.

'Dangerous' New Tool for Scammers
Why robotexts are scammers' favorite new tool
If you've recently received a text claiming to have a delivery update for a
package you never ordered or providing an urgent security alert for a bank
you don't belong to, you're not alone.
So far in 2022, the Federal Communications Commission has received more than
8,500 complaints about "unwanted text messages," according to a consumer
alert released last month.
That number is on track to surpass the number of complaints in 2021, which
included 15,300 messages. But according to industry data, the number is
likely just a small sliver of the problem. Spam-blocking app RoboKiller
estimated that consumers received more than 12 billion robotexts in June
alone.
Like robocalls, robotexts aren't just a nuisance - they're a powerful tool for
scammers. In fact, experts say that in some ways scam text messages can be
even more dangerous than robocalls. With one click, a victim could be tricked
into providing information used to hack into their bank account or work
email.
"I would argue that, in a way, robotexts are actually more dangerous," said
Teresa Murray at Public Interest Research Group, a consumer watchdog group. "Maybe not more annoying, but more dangerous because it's more difficult for
consumers to determine whether a robotext is legitimate or not."
Part of the increase in texts, Murray says, stems from a decrease in robocalls.
Since an FCC mandate
requiring all voice providers to implement call verification software went
into effect last summer, robocalls declined by nearly 50 percent, according
to a report from her group. More than half of U.S. phone providers have since
implemented some sort of robocall mitigation software for voice calls, forcing
scammers into a new line of business.

Does Your Company Have Ransomware Coverage?
Cyber-Insurance Fail: Most Businesses Lack Ransomware Coverage
Even among businesses with cyber insurance,
they lack coverage for basic costs of many cyberattacks, according to a
BlackBerry survey.
Organizations
lack sufficient levels of cyber-insurance coverage to protect themselves in case
of a ransomware attack, with just 14% of businesses with 1,400 or fewer
employees boasting coverage limits above $600,000.
These were among the findings of a BlackBerry and Corvus Insurance survey of 450
business decision-makers for IT and security solutions, which also revealed more
than a third (37%) of respondents currently lack coverage for any ransomware
payment demands.
Nearly six in 10 (59%) of respondents said they hoped the government would
cover damages when future attacks are linked to other nation-states, and
fully half of small to medium-size business (SMB) respondents said they hoped
Uncle Sam would increase financial aid in all ransomware incidents.

Cybersecurity Conferences Sweep Las Vegas
What to watch for as 'Hacker Summer Camp' gets underway in Las Vegas
A trio of cybersecurity conferences - BSidesLV, Black Hat USA and DEF CON
- kicks off this week in Las Vegas in what's collectively known as Hacker Summer
Camp, bringing together policymakers, executives, experts, hackers and
enthusiasts against a backdrop of some of the most unsettled international
events of recent years.
Thousands of cybersecurity professionals will gather on the Vegas Strip
nearly six months into Russia's war in Ukraine, two-and-a-half years into the
COVID-19 pandemic and less than two weeks after U.S. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi's historic visit to Taiwan triggered a wave of cyberattacks.
All of this, in addition to the looming risk of COVID-19 infections, will drive
much of the conversation at panels, workshops, in the hallways during the
conferences, and we'll be there to cover as much of it as possible.

Amazon 'Spying on the Layout' of Homes?
Antitrust researchers and data-privacy experts say Amazon's Roomba purchase is
'most dangerous, threatening acquisition in the company's history'
People don't buy a Roomba to have it "spying
on the layout of your home," a researcher said.
After
Amazon on Friday said it acquired iRobot, the company behind Roomba vacuums,
data-privacy experts and antitrust researchers quickly raised alarm, saying
the tech giant could use the purchase to vacuum up personal information from
inside users' homes.
Advanced Roomba vacuums have internal mapping technology that learns the
floor plan of a user's home. The devices can also "adapt to and remember" up
to 10 floor plans "so users can carry their robot to another floor or a separate
home, where the robot will recognize its location and clean as instructed,"
press releases by iRobot say. Some models have low-resolution
cameras to avoid obstacles and aid in mapping.
"People tend to think of Amazon as an online-seller company, but, really,
Amazon is a surveillance company. That is the core of its business model,
and that's what drives its monopoly power and profit," Evan Greer, the director
of the nonprofit digital-rights-advocacy organization Fight for the Future,
told Wired. "Amazon wants to have its hands everywhere, and acquiring a
company that's essentially built on mapping the inside of people's homes seems
like a natural extension of the surveillance reach that Amazon already has."
Ron Knox, a senior researcher and writer for the Institute for Local
Self-Reliance - a nonprofit that gives tech assistance to community businesses -
said in a series of
tweets after the acquisition was announced that the
$1.7 billion deal, the fourth-largest acquisition in Amazon's portfolio, "may
be the most dangerous, threatening acquisition in the company's history."

Rolling Out Amazon Palm Print Payments at
Whole Foods
Amazon begins large-scale rollout of palm print-based payments
The technology has drawn scrutiny from
privacy activists and politicians.
Amazon
will expand its
Amazon One palm print checkout system to dozens of Whole Foods locations,
marking the most significant expansion of the technology that was introduced in
2020.
Amazon One allows customers to speedily check out at retail locations using
only their palm prints after storing a scan of their hand via an interface
at Amazon's kiosks. The palm print data is encrypted and stored on Amazon's
servers. And before you worry too much about COVID-19 transmission or future
pandemics, Amazon One works when you hover your palm over the scanner-unlike
some handprint tech.
Amazon initially added the technology in its Amazon Go stores and the
now-shuttered Amazon Books retail locations. It then made its way to several
Whole Foods locations in the Seattle area. (Amazon has owned the Whole Foods
grocery chain since 2017.)
Now, Amazon Go will expand to 65 Whole Foods stores across California.
The rollout starts in Malibu and Santa Monica, with more locations adopting it
in Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, and the Bay Area over the next few weeks. Amazon
previously rolled the tech out to a few select locations in California, but
never at this scale.

Bellevue, WA: 5 charged in organized retail theft ring, totaling $100K+
2
suspects arrested in Retail Crime Theft ring, including convicted killer of Tuba
Man. At least two people were in custody in connection with a retail crime ring
that officials say is responsible for more than $100,000 in stolen merchandise
from several high-end stores in Bellevue and the Seattle area. One of those
people was Billy Chambers, 29, the same person arrested in 2008 for killing
53-year-old Edward McMichael, Seattle's "Tuba Man." A Bellevue Police
spokesperson said there are six total suspects in these cases with two currently
in custody. Of the six suspects, five have been charged, according to police.
Bellevue Police Department detectives say the first case saw four suspects
charged, three of them allegedly stole more than $93,000 in Louis Vuitton
bags. The fourth was charged for selling the bags. Police say they hit the
Louis Vuitton twice in June 2022. Detectives found the bags for sale online, set
up a buy and arrested one of the suspects. The three arrested in this crime ring
were Chambers, Memory Yearby and Earnetra Turner. Trey Kendall was arrested for
selling the bags.
"These suspects were aggressive and coordinated in their efforts and often
physically confronted employees or security who stood in their way," BPD Captain
Shelby Shearer said. "These crew also caused significant damage to the stores
during the thefts, causing some businesses to close for the day to clean up the
mess."
The second case saw detectives arrest a 24-year-old for multiple thefts
totaling nearly $13,000 from the Bellevue Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack in
October and November 2021. The suspect, Janay Luckey, walked into stores, cut
off security tags and left. She is also accused of selling these items online.
Luckey's criminal record stretches down the highway to Seattle, where she is
charged with five counts of organized retail theft and trafficking out of
Seattle, with those totals reaching more than $84,000.
BPD's third case involves a theft nearing $7,000 from Ulta in Factoria.
Detectives here say two people stole 62 bottles of perfume, one was arrested in
Kent and the other was a suspect in the Louis Vuitton theft. The two used a
rental car and left, but the merchandise here was recovered.

Bronx, NY: 'I Couldn't Even See:' Masked Thieves With Bear Spray Terrorize NYC
Jewelry Store in $800K Heist
10
people in masks used bear spray to temporarily maim workers in an NYC jewelry
store before swiping nearly $1 million in merchandise and fleeing the scene,
authorities say. Video shows workers and others scrambling into nearby stores as
a security worker grabs his face in pain. People walking by on the street were
also sprayed, and a street vendor said he had to use milk to flush his eyes.
Mojib Ullah, a manager at a nearby clothing store, says he's been working in the
area 13 years and has never seen local crimes of today's magnitude and
frequency. He blames the pandemic, and says now, "this area is getting by worse
and worse every day. They robbed the corner store, three times. Across the

With everything that goes on in one's personal and professional life, it's
oftentimes difficult to be able to really focus on the day's objectives. It's
easy to get lost in everything going on around you and, while no one can bat
1,000 everyday, you've got to be able to separate -- to use your work as a form
of escape from everything and to get lost in your work. Your work can give your
mind the chance to separate from virtually anything going on in your life which
allows your subconscious time to rethink-refresh- and hopefully see things more
clearly. It's like using work as therapy. The trick is forcing yourself to do
it. Much easier said then done.
