Sensormatic Solutions Predicts the Top Busiest Holiday Shopping Days
With Its ShopperTrak Traffic Data Analytics
Peak
traffic days set to bring in nearly half of this season's U.S. shoppers
 Johnson Controls today announced that
Sensormatic Solutions,
its leading global retail solutions portfolio, released the annual ShopperTrak
list of the top busiest shopper traffic days for the 2019 holiday season.
"The Thanksgiving Day weekend - including Black Friday, and the Saturday after
Thanksgiving, November 30 - will continue to be crucial span days for all U.S.
retailers as they approach the holiday season," said Bjoern Petersen, president
at Sensormatic Solutions. "Our historical analysis also suggests that, because
there are only three Saturdays in December leading up to Christmas this year,
Boxing Day (December 26) will play a more prominent role in the U.S. It
represents another major day consumers are off from work and can shop and/or
return items they purchased or received."
The full list of predicted busiest shopping days
in the U.S. is as follows:
1. 11/29/2019 - Black Friday
2. 12/21/2019 - Super Saturday (Saturday before Christmas)
3. 12/26/2019 - Day after Christmas, aka "Boxing Day," in some global
regions
4. 12/14/2019 - Two Saturdays before Christmas
5. 11/30/2019 - Saturday after Black Friday
 6. 12/22/2019
- Sunday before Christmas
7. 12/23/2019 - Monday before Christmas
8. 12/28/2019 - Saturday after Christmas
9. 12/27/2019 - Friday after Christmas
10. 12/7/2019 - First Saturday in December
The predicted top busiest shopping days in Canada
include:
1. 12/26/2019 - Boxing Day
2. 11/29/2019 - Black Friday
3. 11/30/2019 - Saturday after Black Friday
4. 12/21/2019 - Super Saturday (Saturday before Christmas)
5. 12/14/2019 - Two Saturdays before Christmas
Shopper traffic insights can inform more than
foot traffic
Retailers can leverage traffic insights throughout the holiday season. Focusing
on the top busiest shopping days can help inform scheduling decisions,
merchandise floor sets, inventory fulfillment and even loss presentation
awareness.
"The holiday season typically means more action and opportunity for shrink, as a
result of high shopping volume," added Petersen.
"Traffic insights can and should be used to help
better prepare loss prevention staff to decrease shrink in key categories and
high-end items, from shoplifting and organized retail crime (ORC)."

Holiday spending expected to rise 5%, but don't expect bigger crowds at the mall
It may only be September, but the December holiday shopping rush is just around
the corner. Around 50% of consumers have already started looking for items on
their friends' and family's wish lists, according to a new online survey from
The Harris Poll and OpenX.
The holidays are a critical time for many brands: Sales during this time of year
can make up 30% of a retailer's annual revenue. Heading into the gift-giving
season, shoppers are expected to spend 5%
more this year than they did last year,
according to the survey.
However, while consumers plan to spend more this year, they also plan to spend
their money differently than last year. Cadogan's team expects
53% of all holiday shopping to be done digitally.
In fact, around 20% of purchases are
expected to happen on mobile devices,
driven predominantly by millennial shoppers.

Majority of consumers plan to return holiday gifts
Seventy-seven percent of consumers expect to return a portion of their gifts
this holiday season, according to a survey of more than 15,000 consumers
conducted by Oracle Retail. To make their returns, 65% of respondents said
they'd go to the store, while 32% said they'd return items by mail. Nearly 20%
of respondents said they expect to return more than half of their presents. Gen
Z plans to return the most gifts this year.

Wisconsin inmate confesses to 'Making a Murderer' killing: report
Plot
thickens in controversial case that's impacted the interrogation community
 A
Wisconsin inmate reportedly confessed to documentary crews that he killed Teresa
Halbach, the murder victim whose mysterious death is at the forefront of the hit
Netflix series "Making a Murderer." The inmate is serving time for a different
crime.
Shawn Rech, the director of "Convicting A Murderer," an unaffiliated new
documentary about Halbach's murder, told
Newsweek Monday that his production company received a confession from one
of the "notable convicted murderers from Wisconsin." He said the confession is
on audio. Rech is not releasing the man's name and has handed over possible
evidence to law enforcement as they continue to determine if the confession is
legitimate.
Two men -- Steven Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey -- have spent more than a
decade behind bars after being convicted for the 2005 murder of photographer
Halbach. Rech confirmed that the man who
 confessed
is neither Avery nor Dassey.

Editor's Note:
Given the update on this story, we're re-running our
Jan.
2019 interview with Dave Thompson
of WZ in today's Daily (see LPNN column below), who talks about the high
profile "Making a
Murderer" case and the impact its had on the interrogation community.
'Ambiguous' Policy Forces Insurer to To Pay For $300K Jewelry Heist
Certain underwriters at
Lloyd's of London Inc.
can't escape a breach of contract claim brought by a jewelry store whose
products were taken during an armed robbery, after an Illinois appellate court
ruled the insurance policy was ambiguous.
Thursday's order affirmed a lower court's ruling in favor of
Turmusaya Jewelry Inc., which claims it lost
nearly $300,000 worth of merchandise in a 2013 armed robbery at its Burbank,
Illinois, store. The Cook County Circuit
Court previously entered an amended judgment in favor of Turmusaya and against
the Lloyd's underwriters for $349,507.
The underwriters claimed they were not
responsible for covering the loss because there were not two store employees
present during the robbery, which was
required under the so-called two-person warranty in the policy.
In its motion for summary judgment, Turmusaya argued the policy was ambiguous
because the two-person warranty was an express warranty, but the policy stated
there were no express warranties. Lloyd's underwriters argued that the
two-person warranty is a condition, not an express warranty.

Columbus, OH: Shoplifters get second, or third, chance in court diversion
program
The Helping Understand Barriers program is limited, for the most part, to crimes
against big-box stores and to defendants whose theft records remain in the
single digits.
Instead of standing before a judge to enter a plea, the men and women sat
outside the busy courtroom, waiting to start the process that would divert them
from the usual reckoning. All had faced a theft charge at some point in the
past. All were in Franklin County Municipal Court because they are accused of
stealing from a store again, for the second or third or maybe even fourth time.
Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein is betting that the best way to curb such
recidivism - repeat offenders are a huge drain on the legal system, retailers
and families - is to ask a simple question and then tackle the complex answer.
As best he knows,
the pilot effort underway since May is the first of its kind nationwide.
Diversion programs in Ohio and elsewhere commonly focus on first-time offenders,
juveniles or people charged with drug crimes. Those who choose to participate in
the theft program, called Helping Understand Barriers, complete a screening
survey that seeks to get at the underlying reasons for stealing. After the
assessment, they are connected to community services and organizations that can
address their needs, from food and housing to substance-abuse treatment and
mental-health care.
"We provide a plan that is specific and unique to the individual," Klein said. "The vast majority of folks who come through have economic issues or
mental-health issues - they need help." Defendants who successfully complete the
six-month program have their charges dismissed.

U.S. Labor Department extends overtime pay to 1.3 million U.S. workers,
impacting the retail and fast food industries
The U.S. Department of Labor on Tuesday issued a long-awaited rule extending
mandatory overtime pay to 1.3 million U.S. workers, far fewer than an Obama
administration rule that was struck down by a federal judge. Currently, workers
who earn a salary rather than hourly wages are automatically entitled to
overtime pay only if they earn less than $23,660 a year, a figure set in 2004.
The new rule will raise the threshold to $35,568 when it takes effect on Jan. 1. Workers who earn above the
salary threshold may still be eligible for overtime pay if they do not primarily
perform management-related duties.
The revised rule affects workers and employers in industries such as retail,
fast food, higher education and nonprofits. The rule would boost the salary
threshold to $684 per week.
Retail-clothing employees made an average
$485 per week in July, and restaurant
workers earned an average $387 per week in
the same month.

NRF welcomes 'Reasonable, Thoughtful Approach' to overtime pay expansion
Federal Prosecutors Conducting Criminal Probe of Juul
Federal prosecutors in California are conducting a criminal probe into
e-cigarette maker Juul Labs Inc., according to people familiar with the matter,
escalating law-enforcement scrutiny of the startup. The investigation by the
U.S. attorney's office of the Northern District of California is in its early
stages, the people said. The focus of the probe couldn't be learned.
Blamed for a rise in vaping among teenagers, the fast-growing company has come
under increasing scrutiny by state and federal officials. The Federal Trade
Commission, the Food and Drug Administration and several state attorneys general
are investigating its marketing practices. The Trump administration said earlier
this month that it planned to ban most flavored e-cigarettes.

21 State Attorneys General Urge Congress Protect State
Marijuana Programs From Federal Interference
The attorneys general of 21 states sent a letter to congressional leaders on
Monday, voicing support for a bipartisan bill that would shield state-legal
marijuana programs from federal interference.
Led by Washington, D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine, along with the top law
enforcement officials in New York and Nevada, the letter emphasizes that the
Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Through Entrusting States (STATES) Act would
enable cannabis businesses to access financial services, increasing transparency
and mitigating risks associated with operating on a largely cash-only basis.
"Forcing legal cannabis businesses to operate only in cash leaves communities
vulnerable to violence and crime," Racine said in a press release. "Our
bipartisan coalition is urging Congress to pass the STATES Act because it would
allow those in the legal cannabis industry to access the U.S. banking system,
provide long-overdue transparency and accountability, and deter criminal
activity like robbery and money laundering."

Cannabis Abyss: Keeping up with Workplace Drug Testing
As more states have legalized marijuana for medicinal or recreational use, the
number of companies utilizing drug tests, particularly for marijuana, has begun
to decline.
With new state and local laws regulating the use of formerly banned drugs,
employers must pay careful attention to their drug testing policies or risk
costly fines and penalties.
Testing regulations vary state by state, city by city
Drug testing of job applicants and current employees are governed by state and
local laws, with the exception of a handful of federally regulated fields, such
as the transportation and nuclear industries.
Across the nation, the law regarding employer-mandated drug testing varies
widely from one state to another and sometimes even within the boundaries of a
state itself. For instance, the cities of Boulder, Colorado and San Francisco
have more restrictive drug testing policies than those required by their state's
laws. While other states do not have laws that expressly address drug testing,
their courts have interpreted the state constitution or state
anti-discrimination laws to prohibit or restrict drug tests in various
situations.
To further complicate matters, not all drugs are treated the same, especially as
an increasing number of state and local governments are legalizing marijuana for
medicinal or recreational use.

Rethinking Risk Management
Where most organizations fall short in risk
management tools,
technologies, and talent, and how they can improve.
Modern businesses are increasingly aware of risk management's importance;
however, many fail to implement the right approach for their specific needs,
said Jack Jones, chairman of the FAIR Institute and EVP of R&D at RiskLens,
explained in an interview with Dark Reading.
"Over the last several years, the conversation around risk quantification and
risk analysis has evolved from 'can it be done' to 'should we do it,' and now,
'how do we do it,'" he said. The "how" is a problem for many risk professionals
who try to implement change and are challenged by organizational and industry
inertia that pushes back against them, Jones said.
Some of the pushback they normally hear: "We already do risk management," "What
we've been doing works; why change?" and "What you're proposing is not yet 'best
practice.'"
One of the major holes in modern programs is they aren't actually managing
risk. "What's they're doing is controls management," said Jones, explaining
how this approach is more checklist-based than compliance-based. "That's
superficial from a risk perspective because they're not applying any rigor to
measuring how those controlled instances matter," he added.
Tips for Better Risk Management
There are four components to determine how well an organization can manage the
risk landscape: models, the data applied to those models, skills of people doing
the work, and the tools they use. Oftentimes, risk analysis is performed by
anyone in the business who happens to be assigned to the work, Jones noted, and
many companies lack risk measurement tools.

How data breaches forced Amazon to update S3 bucket security
Amazon launched its Simple Storage Service (better known as S3) back in
2006 as a platform for storing just about any type of data under the sun. Since
then, S3 buckets have become one of the most commonly used cloud storage
tools for everything from server logs to customer data, with prominent users
including Netflix, Reddit, and GE Healthcare. While S3 rolled out of the gate
with good security principals in mind, it hasn't all been smooth sailing.
The issue of S3 bucket security has come to a head in recent years with
prominent data breaches affecting companies like Uber, Accenture and even the
United States Department of Defense. Nearly all of these breaches had one common
factor - the administrator in charge of managing cloud storage misconfigured
security settings, leaving them open to the public. You might be wondering how
this keeps happening time and time again. Shouldn't there be security defaults
available to stop these breaches?
Back in 2017, Amazon added additional security changes to help combat the
growing wave of security incidents due to misconfigured S3 buckets.

Russian Hacker Pleads Guilty to Huge Data Thefts From JPMorgan, Others
A Russian hacker admitted Monday that he executed the largest known cyber-attack
against a U.S. bank, pleading guilty to charges that he stole data on more than
80 million clients of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and other institutions that netted
hundreds of millions of dollars in ill-gotten gains.
The hacker, Andrei Tyurin, 36, was accused of stealing customer information from
12 financial news companies, banks and other financial firms, including
Fidelity Investments, E-Trade Financial and Dow Jones & Co. His
co-conspirators used the information to ply customers with spam emails promoting
stocks, hoping to cash out at higher prices, the government has said.
Tyurin could face 15 to 20 years in prison and has agreed to forfeit more than
$19 million.

Do You
Know if You Have Been a Victim of Spear Phishing?
In the past two years, a lot of cyber incidents have had one major
similarity: they started with a spear-phishing email. Spear phishing involves
very targeted spoof messages where cyber criminals impersonate someone you know,
hoping that you will click on a link or open an attachment. For instance, you
get an email from a co-worker who asks you to proofread something. You click the
link and you are asked to login to your OneDrive account. But the email wasn't
really from your coworker, it only looked that way. And now the bad guys have
your OneDrive credentials.
In the example above it was easy to miss that the message came from
john.smith@abc.co instead of
john.smith@abc.com (note that only one
letter is different in the domain extension). More than 35 percent of all cyber
incidents start with human error. So take an extra moment to look more closely
at the emails you receive and where they are actually coming from. |

 |
The Netflix true-crime documentary series "Making a Murderer" highlighted the
case of Brendan Dassey and the interrogation that led to a highly controversial
"confession" and guilty verdict resulting in Dassey's incarceration.
Worldwide leaders in non-confrontational interviewing techniques,
Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates
(WZ), took a stand by highlighting the issues and errors made in these
interrogations leading to coerced confessions - and have continued to use this
case as an example in their training programs.
Dave Thompson, CFI, discusses the impact "Making a Murderer" has had on the
interrogation community and how it's helped push the evolution of this essential
skill for practitioners ranging from law enforcement to loss prevention.

A 'Grass Roots' Campaign to Take Down Amazon Is Funded by Amazon's Biggest
Rivals
Free and Fair Markets accused Amazon of stifling competition and innovation,
inhibiting consumer choice, gorging on government subsidies, endangering its
warehouse workers and exposing consumer data to privacy breaches. It claimed to
have grass-roots support from average citizens across the U.S, citing a labor
union, a Boston management professor and a California businessman.
What the group did not say is that it received backing from some of Amazon's
chief corporate rivals. They include shopping mall owner Simon Property Group
Inc., retailer Walmart Inc. and software giant Oracle Corp., according to
people involved with and briefed on the project. Simon Property is fighting to
keep shoppers who now prefer to buy what they need on Amazon; Walmart is
competing with Amazon over retail sales; and Oracle is battling Amazon over a
$10 billion Pentagon cloud-computing contract.
The creation of a group aimed solely at Amazon is an indication of the degree to
which competing companies have coalesced to counter the growing and accumulated
power of Amazon and how far competitors are increasingly willing to go to
counter-strike. Lobbyists that exaggerate the extent of their grass-roots
support-a practice known as "AstroTurf lobbying"-are common in Washington, but
it is rare for a nonprofit group to be created for the sole purpose of going
after a single firm.

Microsoft launches e-commerce tools as Amazon rivalry intensifies
Microsoft is rolling out technology to help retailers manage their business
online, its latest effort to attract customers who are in a constant battle with
Amazon.
Retail is a particularly fruitful market for Microsoft as the software company's
Azure business takes on Amazon Web Services in cloud infrastructure. Big box
stores like Walmart, grocery chains such as Kroger and pharmacies
like Walgreens are increasingly choosing to park their cloud servers with
Microsoft so as not to pour money into the pocket of their biggest competitor.
AWS still has numerous retail customers, including J.Crew, Kenneth Cole,
Levi's and Sainsbury's.
Dynamics 365 Commerce is an expansion of Microsoft's Dynamics 365 for Retail,
which focused on supply chain management, staffing and promotions. Microsoft
started developing the new technology following conversations with customers
about a year and a half ago, Alysa Taylor, a corporate vice president at
Microsoft, told CNBC in an interview last week.

Indianapolis, IN: Metro Police looking for man suspected in 70-80 thefts from
The Home Depot and Lowe's
 The
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) and surrounding agencies are
looking to identify and arrest a man believed to be responsible for 70 to 80
thefts from central Indiana home improvement stores. Detective Michael
Schollmeier says the man has been stealing power tools and tool kits from stores
like Home Depot and Lowe's since December of 2017. "The unofficial amount is
right around $100,000 is where we're at, what we've known he's taken from the
home improvement stores," Schollmeier said. Schollmeier says the same man has
stolen items from every Home Depot and Lowe's store in Marion County multiple
times. He has also been caught on camera stealing from home improvement stores
in surrounding areas, Schollmeier said.
Carmel Police recently shared a photo of what appears to be the same man
committing theft at a home improvement store. Security videos from multiple
stores show what appears to be a white man in his 30s or 40s with short brown
hair. The man loads several power tool kits into a cart and quickly pushes the
cart past the checkout area without paying. At that point, police believe the
man takes the stolen items to a small silver car with a black top and damage to
the front end and back left panel. IMPD has recently put increased focus on
cracking down on shoplifting and organized retail crime. In August, a two-day
joint operation between IMPD and the Indiana Retail Organized Crime Coalition
resulted in at least 25 arrests at big box stores.

Vancouver, WA: Suspect in attempted kidnapping at Vancouver Mall convicted of
same crime 4 years ago
 A
14-year-old girl managed to get away safe when police say a man tried to kidnap
her from the Vancouver Mall over the weekend. Court records show that the
suspect, 49-year-old Steven Hayes, has been convicted of kidnapping before.
After Hayes appeared in a Clark County courtroom Monday, the girl's father Jason
England shared that his daughter is safe and at home.
"My daughter is doing great, if you knew Gracie-- she is strength, a light and
one the most positive people I know," England said. According to law
enforcement, the girl did exactly what she should have in a situation like that.
When Hayes approached her she stepped away, making space. That's when Hayes
allegedly grabbed her. As he tried to take her from the store, she yelled "fire"
-- potentially saving her life. "This girl did absolutely the right thing by
yelling 'fire,' which is something people pay more attention to," Vancouver
Police spokesperson Kim Kapp said.

as a car crashed through the Woodfield Mall. The 22-year-old driver drove a
black SUV through the doors of the Sears store and kept driving until he got to
the middle of the mall when he was stopped by mall patrons. It was shortly after
2 p.m. on September 20, when calls to 911 began pouring in. More than a dozen
callers reported the SUV weaving through the lower level of the mall. Some
thought it was a shooting and reported it to 911 dispatchers. Others called
while hiding inside the mall. No injuries were reported. The driver remains in
the hospital undergoing evaluations. He has not yet been charged and his name
has not been released.

The difference between success and failure is in the
planning and the execution. Taking something from a thought or idea to a reality
can be a long and painful process lined with failures and detractors. But a
great idea is only as good as the plan you have to bring it to life and the
execution everyone delivers to give it a life. Because without the two the great
idea never existed. As one "C" level executive once told me - He never saw a bad
great idea as it was always the failed plan to roll it out and the poor
execution that killed it.
Just a Thought,
Gus
