Where Will Marvin Ellison - Former LP Executive - Lead Lowe's?
In just over a week, J.C. Penney CEO Marvin Ellison will leave behind the woes of the struggling department store sector and return to the world of home improvement. But he'll have his work cut out for him at Lowe's too.

Ellison, who previously served in various executive roles at The Home Depot, will take the reins as CEO of Lowe's after a lackluster performance in the first quarter of the year. The home improvement retailer reported Wednesday that sales in the first quarter rose 3% to $17.4 billion from $16.9 billion in the year-ago period, with total comparable sales up 0.6% including at stores in Canada and Mexico. Comps in the U.S. rose 0.5%. Sales through Lowes.com, meanwhile, rose 20%, according to the retailer. retaildive.com

Editor's Note: Joining HD as Vice President of Asset Protection and rising to EVP in his twelve year tenure was a remarkable feat and for him this move back into the home improvement industry where he excelled not only makes sense but its a brilliant move for both parties. As Lowe's has never been able to beat HD in quarterly results this will be Ellison's biggest challenge and puts him in a place where he hit home runs for years.

UK's Daily Mail Asks: 'Is Amazon's facial recognition system racist?'
Expert claims AI 'discriminates against black faces'
Amazon's facial recognition tool is being referred to as a 'recipe for authoritarianism and disaster' after it was revealed to be used by law enforcement officials.

Now experts say it raises even greater concerns, as the artificial intelligence used to power the technology could exhibit racial bias.

Many are calling on Amazon to release data that shows they've trained the software to reduce bias, but it has yet to do so.

The controversy was spurred by a report from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which found that Amazon's facial recognition tool, dubbed 'Rekognition', is being used by law enforcement agencies in Oregon and Florida. The ACLU voiced concern that Rekognition could be misused to identify and track innocent people in real-time.

But Amazon said 'quality of life would be much worse' if technologies such as as this were blocked because of fears they may be misused. dailymail.co.uk

Up To 2.39% Of Retail Sales - Lost To Fraud
39% of worldwide card fraud losses occur in the U.S.
Credit card fraud is occurring across retail, e-commerce, financial services and lending sectors at an alarming rate. Every $1 of fraud costs organizations in these industries between $2.48 to $2.82 – that means that fraud costs them more than roughly 2 1/2 times the actual loss itself. Fraud cost as a percent of revenues ranges between 1.58% to 2.39%* based on research just published by The Nilson Report.

Payment card fraud globally has climbed to over $22 Billion in losses. What is alarming for USA credit card issuers is that the United States has 39% of worldwide card fraud losses.

SmartMetric has created a powerful biometric fingerprint reader that sits inside a bank’s credit or debit card. Using the cardholder's fingerprint to unlock and activate the card as the card user touches the card's surface. In less than a second the card user’s fingerprint is scanned and then matched with their fingerprint stored inside the card. Of course if the person trying to use the card is not the card holder, the card will not work. globenewswire.com

School Shooting Survivor Calls For ‘Die-In’ Protest At Publix Supermarkets
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor turned student activist David Hogg is calling for a “die-in” at Publix Super Markets on Friday to protest the chains political donations to a pro-gun Republican gubernatorial candidate.

Hogg wants his Twitter followers, and there are 800,000 of them, to “die-in” at Publix stores, which means lie on the ground inside the supermarkets for 12 minutes at 4pm Friday.

Hogg is critical of the Lakeland-based chain due to its donations to Adam Putnam. The supermarket has donated $670,000 in the past three years. The former U.S. representative recently described himself as a proud National Rifle Association supporter and he has a top rating from the group. cbslocal.com

Another Major Mexican Company Shutting Down DC - Record Levels of Violence
Grupo Lala, one of Mexico's 20 largest private companies, shut down operations at a distribution center in southern Tamaulipas state at the beginning of May due to security conditions the firm said "were not adequate to continue operating." The company, which controls almost 50% of the milk market in Mexico, offered few details, saying it was working with authorities to "restart activities as soon as possible." businessinsider.com

Companies Try Nudging Their Way to Better Ethics
Drug maker Eli Lilly & Co. wants its employees to report wrongdoing and bad behavior. Part of that effort involves encouraging employees to watch videos of real-life situations in which their colleagues discuss the real-time ethical choices they made in the course of doing business.

Eli Lilly and other companies are looking to influence how people make decisions and are using “nudges,” or choice architecture, as a way to promote ethical behavior among their employees. Nudges are one of the ways businesses are deploying behavioral ethics to reaffirm their values and to keep employees focused on questions of ethics and compliance as they engage in their daily work.

“The idea is to keep this topic in front of people in any way we can,” said Ms. Barnes. “We know from research that when people have this kind of messaging in front of them they are more likely to make the right decisions.” wsj.com

The top five shopping center trends are...
Communal dining-or food halls-tops a list of breakout retail concepts in shopping center developments.

Food Halls - Communal dining is not a fleeting trend; it's here to stay, and growing - to hit 300 by 2020.

Pop-Up Shops - Retailers are taking advantage of the pop-up shop movement.

Fast-Casual Dining - By 2025, food and beverage retailers are expected to dominate 20% of total space in American and Canadian retail properties.

Showrooms - Combining e-commerce and brick-and-mortar retail, showrooms - e-retailers opening physical stores where the customers can "try before they buy," but must order merchandise for delivery to their doors rather than carry it out.

Experiential Retail - Consumers are increasingly looking for unique and exciting experiences to draw them offline and into stores, and a number of retailers are responding to these changing mindsets by implementing interactive elements in their locations. chainstoreage.com

Study: ‘Seamless shopping’ is still a pipe dream
While most consumers expect the ability to shop effortlessly across channels, only 7% of retailers currently provide a complete unified commerce experience that allows a customer to “start the sale anywhere, finish the sale anywhere,” according to the “2018 Customer Experience/Unified Commerce Survey,” from Boston Retail Partners (BRP).

Knowing that consumers will often stop shopping a brand after just one bad customer moment, retailers are making big plans to converge digital and physical retail environments to facilitate a seamless experience across channels going forward. Within three years, 50% of companies plan to offer a complete unified commerce experience that allows a customer to start and finish the sale anywhere. chainstoreage.com

The best department store in the world is...
For the fourth time, a U.K. department store that is over 100 years old has taken home top honors at the Global Department Store Summit in London.

Retail GDPR Warning

GDPR: We’re Just Getting Started
"Bad Time to Have a Data Breach"
What the CFOs are reading about GDPR
During the early phase of enforcement, information commissioners in charge of overseeing GDPR compliance in each country will be looking for flagrant violations to emphasize the gravity of the rules and make examples of negligent organizations.

In other words, the next several months would be a particularly bad time to experience a bad data breach, especially if your organization’s GDPR response is slow, ineffectual, or incomplete. Editor's Note: Commissioners looking to set examples.

U.S. businesses that fully commit themselves to GDPR compliance will be ready for regulations that may emerge in response to Equifax, Facebook, election interference, and whatever big data scandal comes next. Even without new regulations, given the current pushback, American businesses should seriously consider the problem of damaged public trust. They need to figure out how to maintain and project a reputation for corporate responsibility.

So what should an organization be doing now that the heat is on? cfo.com

A Data Protection Officer's Guide to the Post-GDPR Deadline Reality
The EU's General Data Protection Regulation deadline is here -- now what? These four tips can help guide your next steps.

1. Think GDPR and beyond. Organizations must build a "privacy-by-design" approach and ensure their privacy and security programs encompass more than GDPR.

2. Know how to respond to DSARs. One unknown for all of us is the volume of data subject access requests (DSARs) that our organizations will be processing. Data subject rights are detailed in GDPR articles 12–23. Under this law, you must provide customers and contacts with an easy way to exercise their rights.

3. Implement and refine your vendor management program. Another area to consider is your vendor management program. Be sure you are flowing down your GDPR obligations to vendors who handle EU citizen data. You do not want to suffer financial consequences because of a vendor's lack of compliance. It's also a good idea to document your reviews and follow up with vendors who are still in process on their journey to establish consistent lines of communication.

4. Maintain an updated data inventory. Last, but certainly not least, it is imperative that your organization updates its data inventory and data flows, and be ready to map new flows as they develop. darkreading.com

Only 7% Currently Offer “Start Anywhere, Finish Anywhere” Order Capabilities
According to a new report from BRP, rapidly evolving customer expectations are driving a major transformation in retail. The 2018 Customer Experience/Unified Commerce Survey combines research on customer expectations with survey findings on retailers’ current capabilities and future plans to highlight areas of opportunities for retailers.

About $1.2 billion in cryptocurrency stolen since 2017
Criminals have stolen about $1.2 billion in cryptocurrencies since the beginning of 2017, as bitcoin’s popularity and the emergence of more than 1,500 digital tokens have put the spotlight on the unregulated sector, according to estimates from the Anti-Phishing Working Group released on Thursday.

Of the $1.2 billion, Jevans estimates that only about 20 percent or less has been recovered, noting that global law enforcement agencies have their hands full tracking down these criminals. retailcrowd.co.uk

Americans Get an F on Password Security
Almost half of U.S. consumers use one to five passwords to access all of their online applications, a survey by The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company (HSB), part of Munich Re, has found, indicating many use the same password for different accounts.

As for how Americans store the passcodes they need to access a growing number of banking, retail, social media and business applications, it’s much more likely they will use a sticky note than a secured password management app, the study concludes. cpapracticeadvisor.com

Untangling the worldwide web of counterfeiting
In response to the increase in counterfeiting, organisations such as International Trademark Association (INTA) are expanding their anti-counterfeiting programmes and many governments are improving their legal, enforcement and judicial processes and mechanisms.

Nevertheless, the problem continues to grow. Why? One reason is that criminal enterprises increasingly view counterfeiting as a low-risk, high-reward revenue stream. The involvement of organised crime has raised the level of sophistication in counterfeiting, enabling counterfeiters to exploit more unsuspecting consumers into buying their illicit products, the revenues from which are then used to fund further illegal activities.

Online Counterfeiting
Counterfeiters often sell their goods to unsuspecting consumers under the guise of legitimate businesses and have discovered that they can easily run their counterfeiting activity on the Internet. Indeed, criminals prefer to sell counterfeits on the Internet for many reasons:

● They can hide behind the anonymity of the Internet (on the Dark Web even their internet protocol addresses can be hidden).
● The Internet gives them the reach to sell to consumers globally, outside of the national limits of law enforcement.
● Counterfeiters can display genuine goods on their site and ship counterfeit goods to the consumer.
● When one site is shut down, another one can quickly be opened, making it a struggle for brand owners to stop a counterfeiter.
● Criminal networks use complex server systems, which allow for hundreds of websites to sell the same products while making it difficult for law enforcement to track the counterfeiters.

These tactics have led to a proliferation of online counterfeiting, giving brand owners and governments the arduous task of finding and shutting down the counterfeiting rings. While the link between the increased sales of counterfeits on the Internet and the harm caused to businesses, governments and the public is certain, the solution is complex and challenging. As a result, how to address the sale of counterfeits on the Internet has become a hotly debated topic within industry and among policymakers. Who is responsible for addressing the problem? What legal, policy and voluntary measures should be put in place? Read more worldtrademarkreview.com

A global approach to anti-counterfeiting
The presence of counterfeit goods on the market has a number of consequences for both legitimate brands and their consumers. While brands are losing revenue and customer trust and suffering damage to their reputations, consumers are simultaneously finding themselves out of pocket and saddled with sub-quality goods. Beyond this, there are also far wider-reaching consequences, such as health and safety issues – especially as a consequence of buying medicine, cosmetics and electronics that are fake.

No matter how many enforcements are carried out, how many marketplace sites and listings are shut down or how many third-party platforms are monitored, it is never possible to eliminate all instances of infringement. However, it is not necessarily a losing battle. Instead, it requires a change of focus; brands must develop and implement a global anti-counterfeiting strategy that places the consumer at its heart.

Before considering such a strategy, it is important to understand the environment in which brands are operating and just how counterfeiters are thriving online. Read more worldtrademarkreview.com

Update: Volusia County, FL: Pawn shop owner sold millions of dollars in tools stolen from Home Depot Millions of dollars worth of high-end drills were being stolen and hocked on eBay and detectives traced the entire operation to a single strip mall pawn shop. Accused mastermind Richard Hill was arrested, as were his two teams of suspected accomplices, who Sheriff Mike Chitwood referred to as hired “boosters” — front-line thieves who stealthily removed the DeWALT drills from local hardware stores and brought them to Hill to be sold online, he said. Due to the level of organization, detectives charged Hill and others with racketeering and other felonies. “Volusia County detectives, when they get a tip, they are going to run it and work it to the ground,” Chitwood said of his detectives during a media conference Thursday afternoon in front of Richard Hill’s Music & Pawn, 2550 S.

Ties to Terrorism?
IED Rips Through Indian Restaurant in Canada mall
15 people people wounded, Two suspects on the loose
An explosion caused by an "improvised explosive device" ripped through an Indian restaurant in a mall in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga, wounding 15 people, Canadian police said. Peel Region Sergeant Matt Bertram said two suspects with their faces covered to conceal their identity entered the Bombay Bhel restaurant late Thursday, dropped some sort of IED device and fled.

"We have no indication to call it a hate crime or any kind of terrorism act," Bertram said.

Peel Region paramedic Joe Korstanje said three people suffered critical injuries and were taken to the hospital while the remaining 12 victims suffered what he described as minor and superficial injuries. Police later updated the condition of the three critically injured patients to stable.

The explosion happened just after 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, and the plaza where the restaurant is located was still sealed off on Friday. wpri.com

Tip of the Day
Sponsored by Vector Security Networks

Staying focused - at times the most difficult task of all. With days slipping by as if no progress at all is made. Feeling guilty as you drive into work and remembering those you didn't follow up with or call just to check in. Finding that zone where the day disappears and you've hit all the balls out of the park is a great feeling and at best only happens two or three times a week. So the question is: how do you move forward every day of the week and make all of them highly productive? - A struggle even for the best. Simple - Get focused on the day at hand. Commit to yourself exactly what you've got to accomplish that specific day and go do it regardless. And don't allow yourself the luxury of letting anything stand in your way - unless it's a family emergency. Dedicate yourself that day to your objectives of that day and that day alone as progress is measured by small steps and each day you can make a few. You've just got to commit yourself to making them each and every morning.

Just a Thought,
Gus
