Hurricane Michael -
The Retail Impact
'The whole city looks like a nuke was dropped on it'
Photos show the devastation left in Florida by Hurricane Michael
Hurricane Michael battered Florida as the strongest storm ever recorded
in the region on Thursday. The category-4 hurricane with 155 mph winds
left two dead and washed away entire buildings.
Michael was downgraded to a tropical storm early on Thursday morning as
it churned across central Georgia with maximum sustained winds of about
60 mph. But photos from the scene in Florida show the devastation the
hurricane left behind. Several stores and restaurants, including a
Family Dollar, McDonald's and Waffle House sustained major damage from
the storm. See pictures below

Their store's grand opening was this week. Hurricane Michael left it in
ruins.
 When
they pulled up, ripped shingles, mangled cars and twisted street signs
were scattered everywhere. A massive tree trunk sat on debris of a
building they'd spent a year renovating into a family-friendly kids'
store. Its grand opening was set for this weekend.
"I wished I was dreaming," Brandon Troupe said of seeing their planned
project in ruins. "But it was real ... I still can't believe it. I'm
still trying to process it." The Troupes said they lost everything,
including the furniture, deck, walls and ceilings. "My heart stopped
... It has been a year effort and I just didn't know what to do," Sydni
Troupe said.

Businesses as Citizens: How to Respond to Disaster
Local governments, in particular, are increasingly strapped for the significant
resources necessary to respond immediately to a large-scale disaster.
Corporations often command the resources -- capital, products and people power
-- that public entities lack. With such an abundance of resources comes major
responsibility. Many companies are so well-positioned to spring to action in
the face of disaster, such as to offer shelter, items necessary for survival and
volunteer work from employees, that they have a moral duty to offer some
kind of support to the communities in which they operate during times of crisis.
All such companies must acknowledge and accept this duty.
If you're an executive wondering how you can do more to help your community
right now, understand that while there are certainly things you can do to help
communities recover from Florence, the most effective step you can take is
better preparing your response to the next natural disaster. Begin by
conducting an inventory of how your business's products, services and talents
might be useful in assisting victims of disasters. In moments of calm,
you're best able to think beyond the obvious: Maybe you could donate money and
volunteer time to recovery efforts, but could your company also tap into its
particular expertise to provide a needed hand? Could your people or systems help
with logistics planning or information sharing?
Take, for example, Target. Knowing that
Hurricane Florence was on the way, Target took advantage of its national reach
and distribution centers and identified 1,500 products it knew its customers in
the affected states would need before, during and after the storm. It quickly
altered its logistics plans and shipped those items to the relevant locations
ahead of the hurricane.
smartbrief.com
Report Shows How Disaster Preparedness Hasn't Improved
Last year, the U.S. suffered 16 major natural disasters - up 33 percent from the
year before - with collective recovery costs of more than $300 billion.
A recent
study by Esurance revealed that the vast majority of U.S. residents have
experienced at least 1 major weather catastrophe in the past 5 years. And
although 80 percent of respondents expressed concern about the increasing pace
of these events, less than half believe that their communities are getting
better at handling them. Furthermore, only 17 percent felt they were personally
prepared for an unexpected natural disaster.

CVS Pharmacy Completes Rollout of Time Delay Safes in All 900 California Stores
70% decline in pharmacy robberies during trail run in Indianapolis
CVS Pharmacy, the retail division of CVS Health (NYSE: CVS), announced today
that it has completed the rollout of time delay safes in nearly 900 of its
free-standing stores in California. The safes will help prevent pharmacy
robberies and combat the ongoing opioid epidemic by helping to prevent
diversion of controlled substance narcotic medications by keeping them out of
the hands of unauthorized individuals. In addition, the safes will help CVS
Pharmacy ensure the safety and well-being of its customers and employees.
Controlled substance narcotic medications that are sought after by robbers, such
as oxycodone and hydrocodone, are now stored in time delay safes in every CVS
Pharmacy store in the state of California. Time delay safes help deter pharmacy
robberies by electronically delaying the time it takes for pharmacy employees to
be able to open the safe. CVS Pharmacy first implemented time delay safes in
Indianapolis, a city experiencing a high volume of pharmacy robberies, in 2016.
The company saw a 70 percent decline in pharmacy robberies among the
Indianapolis stores where the time delay safes had been installed.

Tesco's New CEO Tells Court In $353M U.S. Fraud
Trial
"Shocked When Reading Legacy Paper" 3 Weeks Into New Job
Lewis, a witness at the fraud trial of Tesco's ex-managing director Chris Bush
and ex-UK food commercial director John Scouler, said he was presented with the
so-called "legacy" paper on Friday 19 September 2014, just three weeks after
joining the company.
The company's general counsel Adrian Morris presented him with the legacy paper,
which had been drawn up by Tesco finance director Amit Soni, the whistle
blower, which calculated that Tesco had misstated £246m ($353M U.S.) of profits
in its accounts.
 Lewis said the paper
"took two readings" and said the "most striking"
implication was that there had been a "potential misstatement" in the firm's
results in the first half of the financial year. The detailed paper also talked
about a number of accounting techniques used at Tesco to flatter the company's
figures.
Both Scouler and Bush had previously seen the legacy paper but prosecutors said
they remained silent about what was contained in the document.
Lewis pulled together a team which spent the weekend trawling through documents
alongside Tesco's auditors PwC, he also instructed audit firm
Deloitte
to carry out a separate review.
Lewis said by Sunday it had become clear there was a "significant issue" and
Lewis and Tesco's board agreed a statement to be issued to the stockmarket at
7am on Monday 22 September.
The statement, which sent Tesco's shares price plunging, said Tesco
believed it had overstated profits for the first half of 2014 by an estimated
£250m "due to the accelerated recognition of commercial income and delayed
accrual of costs."
Bush and Scouler have both been charged with one count of fraud and false
accounting.

Risk Oversight and the Role of the Board
Risk oversight is a primary board responsibility, and in the evolving
business and risk landscape directors need to develop and continuously
improve practices to establish a well-defined and effective oversight
function, according to
Deloitte's 2018 Audit Committee Resource Guide.
Boards play a critical role in influencing management's processes for
monitoring risks, and as such they should clearly define which risks the
full board should discuss regularly, versus risks that can generally be
delegated to a board committee. While many boards have a defined risk
governance structure, it is important to continually assess the
structure as companies face new risks.

New York Issues Final Guidance on Sexual-Harassment Policies
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo recently enacted an
anti-sexual-harassment law with stringent requirements for employers'
anti-harassment policies and training. A key component of the new law
went into effect Oct. 9 and requires every employer in New York to
establish a sexual-harassment prevention policy. In addition, New York
employers must provide employees with sexual-harassment prevention
training that, under the final guidance, must be completed by Oct. 9,
2019 (i.e., one year after the law's effective date).
Since the publication of the initial draft on Aug. 23, the NYSDOL made a
number of significant changes to the final guidance and model materials,
which include a model anti-harassment policy, model complaint form, and
model training program. lternatively, employers may adopt a similar
policy and training program that meets or exceeds the minimum standards
of the model policy and training.

4 Tips For NY Employers Navigating New Sex Harassment Law
Amazon scraps secret AI recruiting tool that showed bias against women
Amazon.com Inc's machine-learning specialists uncovered a big problem: their new
recruiting engine did not like women.
The team had been building computer programs since 2014 to review job
applicants' resumes with the aim of mechanizing the search for top talent, five
people familiar with the effort told Reuters. Automation has been key to
Amazon's e-commerce dominance, be it inside warehouses or driving pricing
decisions. The company's experimental hiring tool used artificial
intelligence to give job candidates scores ranging from one to five stars - much
like shoppers rate products on Amazon, some of the people said.
But by 2015, the company realized its new system was not rating candidates for
software developer jobs and other technical posts in a gender-neutral way. That
is because Amazon's computer models were trained to vet applicants by observing
patterns in resumes submitted to the company over a 10-year period. Most came
from men, a reflection of male dominance across the tech industry.
In effect, Amazon's system taught itself that male candidates were
preferable. It penalized resumes that included the word "women's," as in
"women's chess club captain." And it downgraded graduates of two all-women's
colleges, according to people familiar with the matter.

Sears reportedly misses vendor payments while
banks push for liquidation
After news broke this week that Sears was arranging a possible bankruptcy
filing, Reuters reported early on Thursday that the retailer has
missed payments to vendors, adding to imminent bankruptcy concerns. Later in
the morning, The Wall Street Journal reported that a group of lenders -
including Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Citigroup - are
pushing for Sears to liquidate in Chapter 7 rather than reorganize in
Chapter 11. Unnamed sources cautioned in the Journal story that "the situation
is fluid and that Sears could still find another source of capital to prop it up
through a restructuring." A Sears spokesperson did not immediately respond to

How to Use Technology to Improve Duty of Care Obligations
Duty of Care is gaining momentum. The idea is simple: employers have a duty
to keep their people safe. Whether your employees are on-site or travelling,
in a cubicle or on a construction site, in the States or abroad, that duty
remains - to protect your employees from unnecessary risk of harm. But an
increasingly mobile and global workforce has brought new challenges to
fulfilling these obligations. Thankfully, recent technology trends can help you
overcome these challenges through improved emergency monitoring, better employee
location tracking and streamlined communications.
Monitor for Emergencies
 The first step in protecting employees is identifying the emergent threat
quickly and accurately. Today, threats come in all shapes and sizes. Some
threats - like a fire, flooding or active shooter - are hyperlocal. They only
affect employees in one city, building, or even floor. To protect your people
and locations from these local threats, you need to monitor hyperlocal
information resources that alert you to danger down to the street level.
Examples of hyperlocal sources include a city's local police department or news
outlets. You can also gather threat detail from your employees, people on the
frontlines who share threatening events as soon as they appear.
As soon as you understand three elements of an emergency - event type, severity
level and proximity to your people and assets - you can jump into action by
communicating with your people, navigating them away from danger.
Better Understand Employee Location
Clearly seeing a threat's proximity to your employees is important. And with
today's mobile workforce, your employees' location is far from set in stone.
Employees travel regularly, and many work out of satellite offices. In an
emergency, you need to know the exact location of your employees, so you can
communicate to them, account for them, and give them the help they need.

Biometric 'Smart' Shopping Carts
Walmart Patent Wants To Monitor Your Health & Stress Levels While You Shop
Walmart sales associates may not be able to read customers' minds, but they soon
might be able to monitor shoppers' heart rates to get a little more insight on
how they're faring during their shopping trip.
The company's recently published patent application - titled "System And Method
For A Biometric Feedback Cart Handle" - aims to equip shopping cart handles
with the ability to gather biometric data to determine when customers might need
help.
The patent states that "the shopping cart, upon being moved, 'wakes up' from
being in a low-power or 'sleep' state mode." Then, readings on temperature,
pulse, speed, and the force at which someone grips the handle or pushes the cart
would be used to create a baseline of the customer's condition.

UK Amazon staff 'forced to work in sub-zero temperatures in giant warehouse'
STAFF at an Amazon warehouse have been forced to work in sub-zero conditions,
according to shocking claims revealed today. Workers at the facility in Dundee
had to fill out orders for the US retail giant in conditions around 3C - which
then fell below 0C overnight, it is alleged. Health and Safety Executive advice
states that warehouses should be around 13C.
 It
comes as trade union GMB said there were more than 440 serious accidents at
Amazon's UK sites since 2015. Workers' injuries including fractures, head wounds
and collisions with heavy equipment have doubled in just four years, according
to Freedom of Information data. GMB General secretary Tim Roache said: "These
figures give a horrifying insight into (Amazon's) warehouses. No one should go
to work worried about breaking bones."
The company has faced intense criticism over its working practises and tax
affairs in the past. But an Amazon spokesman said: "According to the UK
governments Health and Safety Executive RIDDOR, Amazon has 43 per cent fewer
injuries on average than other transportation and warehousing companies in the
UK. "Amazon is a safe place to work and reports to the contrary are simply
wrong."

Focus Report: Technologies to ensure online
security
The global average cost of a data breach to a business is $3.86 million, which
is a 6.6% jump from a year earlier. In the U.S., the average price tag swells to
$7.91 million per breach, according to the Ponemon Institute's recently released
report "2018 Cost of a Data Breach Study: Global Overview."
The reason behind those rising costs are twofold; the average cost for each lost
record grew 4.8% and the average size of data breaches increased 2.2%. The
report was based on interviews with 2,200 information technology, data
protection and compliance professionals from 477 companies that have had a data
breach in the last 12 months. The results came from companies based in 15
countries, including 65 companies in the U.S., and 7% of the companies were

The man Waco police had been trying to arrest when a K-9 turned on his handler
and was shot has been arrested by U.S. Marshals and is now behind bars. It was
Kevin Copeland that police were looking for when they went to a residence last
Friday when two-year-old K-9 Kastor attacked his handler as officers breached

on a Dollar Tree clerk and the taking of her phone. Store personnel told police
Copeland became irate, assaulted the clerk, destroying things in the store,
breaking glass throwing items on the floor, knocking over merchandise displays
and picking up a cash register and slamming it to the floor. As he was leaving,

accused of coming toward her, grabbing her by the collar and slamming her to the
floor. She told officers he came at her a second time and once again threw her
down behind a car, tearing her clothes.

died after Stop and Shop altercation
 The
family of a Brooklyn man who died after being tackled by employees at a Flatbush

medical examiner ruled Nimmons' death a homicide just last month. Stop and Shop
issued a statement that said, "We remained saddened by the unfortunate event
that took place at our Flatbush store on April 14, 2018 and we are continuing to
cooperate fully with law enforcement."

Ring Leader of International Cyber Fraud Ring of 9 - Returned to US to Face $4M
Federal Racketeering Charges
Romanian national was returned to the United States Friday to face federal
charges that accuse him of being the leader of an international cyber fraud
ring that used malware to steal in excess of four million dollars
after taking people's passwords, personal identifying information, and bank
account information.
According to the indictment, Chita was based in Romania and led a
racketeering enterprise that operated in the United States, Romania, Canada,
Croatia, Latvia, Hungary, Bosnia, China, Jordan, Malaysia and elsewhere. The
goal of the enterprise was to generate money through various criminal acts,
including wire fraud, trafficking in counterfeit services, and money laundering.
It began operating as early as 2007.
Among other things, Chita's group sent "phishing" emails purporting to be
from the Better Business Bureau, the IRS, U.S. Tax Court, the National Payroll
Records Center, and others. When a victim clicked on a link in a fraudulent
email, specialized malware incorporating a "keylogger" was installed onto the
victims' computers, allowing members of the criminal enterprise to capture
sensitive and confidential information, including the victims' bank account
information.
The defendants also are alleged to have engaged in an extensive campaign of
online auction fraud, placing ads for non-existent cars and other expensive
items on eBay, Craigslist, Autotrader.com, and other websites. According to
the indictment, victims were tricked into wiring thousands of dollars to money
mules to purchase these vehicles. The money mules then transferred and laundered
the proceeds for the benefit of the enterprise.
Eight other defendants were named in the indictment unsealed today. Two
defendants-Daniel Mihai Radu, 39; and Manuel Tudor, 37, -have already been
extradited from Romania and are awaiting trial in Cleveland. The other five
defendants remain at large. justice.gov

Knowing the basic interview questions is one thing. Having the
answers is another. What's more important is communicating openly and honestly
in a professional manner that shows thought, vision and your business knowledge.
Try to apply your background to the interviewer's business and how you can
impact it and add value. The key to a successful interview is bridging the gap
between your background and the prospective employer's company and needs.
Preparation-preparation-preparation!
