"Sport. Ten 46 had accused thief who liked target and facial massages, led police on a chase last night in Stafford marketplace before being caught. The Stafford county sheriff's office has 63 year old Michael Vaughn's of Fredericksburg. He is accused of stealing a couple of $400 facial massage devices and a pair of headphones from target between Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. When deputies got a call about another shoplifting attempt last night at the target in Stafford marketplace, they spotted Vaughn's in a black Mercedes as the chase began a woman in the car, they say, did a tuck and roll dive out of the moving Mercedes, they said she was only left with a few bruises and scratches. Well, they chase continued in front of the target across the access road a complete lap around the chilies and Applebee's. They say diners were looking on as this happened before Vaughn's was finally caught. Top stories we are following at this hour on WTO.

And Virginia roadwork on the inner loop from Arlington boulevard is 66 skinny by two lanes to the left of course no merge coming on from arley to boulevard to get onto the inner loop. And I'm not sure if they may be blocking the ramp from the interlude to 66 westbound in that work zone as well, which would make sense that you're getting by to the left and the works on on 66 west of the beltway. Single right lane gets by an addition of the ramp into the express lanes or the entrance of the express lanes closed from westbound 66 of the beltway and then on 66 west of the fairfax county Parkway single left lane is getting by the work zone. There's a minor crash at route 29 at Linden hall bailard for that. Three 95 and 95 doing all right, interlude beltway. After one 23, by the way, are starting to set up along the left side of the roadway headed toward the dulles toll road. They've got the right lane blocked on the interloop after the dwellers toll road and in Maryland on the outer loop of branch avenue X at 7 crash is on the left shoulder. 95 on the Baltimore Washington Parkway, each running well to clear the crash, northbound after route 100 on the Baltimore Washington park white.

Workplace Perspective
"applebee" Discussed on Workplace Perspective
"In. But to your question, Theresa, about the opt out, the opt out right under this law is very limited. It's limited to where there's a sale of data where there's a sharing of data or where there is a use of sensitive personal information to derive characteristics about the individual. And selling and sharing are really specifically defined in the statute. And it really has to be, you are giving their data to a third party for monetary value or other commercial value or for cross contextual behavioral advertising. Those are the scenarios where you have to give people the right to opt out. I will say in my experience, it's pretty rare for me to see an HR group selling data or sharing data. It can happen though, and I'll give you one example. I had a client that was using a third party to do employee recognition program. So it employee was doing well. They sign up on this third party's website and they get, you know, Applebee's gift cards, whatever the prize is. Well, there's third party within also reaching out to those employees and saying, congratulations. Here's your gift card. If you want to learn about other services, here's a link. So at that point, they were commercializing the data that we were receiving. That's arguably a sale of data. So you have to look at your relationships carefully to determine if that's happening, but the opt out right is very limited. So the reality for most employers, and that's why that internal policy that I was talking about, you really, you map out all of the scenarios that you say, when we get a request of this type, here's our standard response. And you move through methodically there. So there's a rhyme and reason to it. And I will just as a key takeaway, it's all doable and bite sized pieces. It seems overwhelming for a lot of HR departments, but there's a way to map it out to your organization and what you're doing with data. I'll take your word for that because it doesn't sound a bit overwhelming, but I agree. I think if you break it down, you've made it very clear, some really good steps and employers can start to take and sort of baby step it along to get going. One of the interesting things you said was the use of sensitive information. I think you said to derive characteristics, is that going to impact employers who are trying to comply with data reporting requirements or internal DEI projects and things like that? Or does that fall under? This information is functional to us and therefore we need it. It's a great question. So what the law says is that if you are processing an individual sensitive personal information for the purpose of driving a characteristic of that individual, you must give that individual the right to tell you as a business, don't use my sensitive personal information for that purpose. The right is called limit the processing of my sensitive personal information. But you only have to extend that right if you are using sensitive personal information to derive characteristics, of course, the statute doesn't define what it means to derive a characteristic. So we're sort of left to our judgment as to what that means. But sensitive personal information is defined under the law as including certain demographic data, like gender identity, sexual orientation, it also includes information about disability, medical status, biometric information, so employers need to ask themselves, are we using one of these pieces of sensitive personal information to derive a characteristic about the individual? For example, I know this person is of a particular race, age, sexual orientation, and geographic location, I'm going to make an assumption about what their preferences are or what type of employee they would be. I'm going to derive a characteristic about them based on the intensive information I have. An example of this where this could come up is some companies will put into their system whether somebody is likely or not to be a delinquent Bill payer. And perhaps they put in there, I know people in this city block don't pay their bills. So we're going to send out more reminders to this group. Well, if you are using specific geolocation data, characteristic assumption, then perhaps that is using sensitive data to derive a characteristic. So it's a bit of a sliding scale, a gray area. But my recommendation for employers would be question number one is, are we using any of these pieces of information that would be considered sensitive? What are we using it for? You've got to map your data and how you're using it. And from that sort of inventory from that visibility into your data usage, you can then say, is this deriving a characteristic? Do we need to extend this right to

And I just think that that's like, it just depends on your life situation as it relates to how old you are, what you need to earn. But it is very difficult when you're trying to count on making money playing poker. In a game where just a lot of variants where just even the best players are going to lose and they're going to have big downswings and if you have no way to stabilize your bankroll, then you're just heading for a world of trouble.

Banana story. We've got kidnapped. I know we don't get to go. I remember the title of an article Alan B beaten robbed after missing cut in Hawaii. So yeah, there's something to read there.

But dude is a picture of him. He got the ship beat out of him. He got the shit kicked out of him, yeah.

I had never played a hint of oldham in my life and and by the time that six months was up. I was making too much money to go to work. Now i would. I would make one hundred and fifty bucks a night. Driving cabin mc two hundred if i played poker instead so i could drive in cabin started playing poker and that was like nineteen or twenty years ago or something. That was my last job. It's funny how familiar. That sounds to me because i was younger than you. A decade younger but i was working applebee's nineteen and found poker and i took the theory of bucher oldham for advanced players. Because that's of course. That's where i would start because those books back then. Why wouldn't i start for advanced players. I'm obviously a smart person at nineteen and need the advanced version. I and super nobody wants to read a hold them for people who aren't good at broker. Well there was a poker for dummies. I think back then to I pass that up. Because i wanted to advance players And super system and every day. I would bring it to work and get to work an hour early and read and then i would stay in our after my shift and read more poker and with this just mindset of being held bent on being a professional booker player And that was all. I thought about and that was all right so i it just funny to me as i see myself in your story like it's just the the immersion the same books and just the mindset right.

"And that's totally fine and like we say it's not about perfection. It's just about progress in putting in the effort and trying to show up for yourself every single day and so they don't have enough hours in the day. There's no busy enough schedule to where you can't eat healthy because there's no difference in time when it comes to putting something unhealthy in your mouth or just putting something healthy in your house is very very true. Even if you're eating out there is always a healthy eating option at any restaurant. I can find something healthy. I any fast food as well believe it or not. You have gotten actually. That's another thing that we do. Is you know. We have several challenges. Go out of town go on vacations. Go out to dinner. It's an anniversary dinner. It's a lunch with mom. They message us every single day. Hey i'm going to this mexican restaurant what can get. We're going to tell you exactly what you can get to stay on track. And that is. I think something that we provide a lot of people in groups and in other nutritionist. Don't do because they are so focused on stick to the plan to stick to this. If you don't if you if you veer off the plan it's it's all or nothing you you you've lost. No that's not what we preach here. And that's we wanna teach you how to live the lifestyle even when you're going out to eat to dinner Ruby tuesdays even applebee's like we can tell you exactly what to get japodlay. There's so many options out there and again that's just what we love to teach. You know that healthy lifestyle. You can do this anywhere at any restaurant at home wherever you are in the world literally. That's amazing and i think it's something that a lot of people struggle with. Is you know once you go off the plan in any way and you and you have to get fast food for some reason you know something unexpected happy and up in a restaurant and it's easy to just say well off the plan so i'm just going to get whatever i want or sometimes just truly not knowing sometimes you may think the salad is the healthiest option in. It's actually not exactly well. We actually tell people that all the time they're like. Can i get a caesar salad. And i'm like well. Here's the thing with a caesar salad. Not something you don't know. Is this about eight hundred calories just in the the addressing it which is absolutely insane. And i was guilty of that too because i love caesar salads but we taught how to make actual healthy salads and beneficial nutritional that actually benefits throughout the day and can give you that fuel that you need to get through the day instead of going and getting something in stepping backwards. Basically in your progress of something. That's not healthy. When you think in reality it is absolutely. Because i i don't know about you. I don't want to eat the healthy option. That's not really healthy. If it's not even going do that anyway than lee. I'd rather have a really awesome meal. It's one thing we're told what our challenges is. I'm eating better now than i did before i mean these are like gourmet foods and recipes. We have casseroles tacos burgers soups. We have ice cream. we have cheesecakes. I mean the. The list is endless of the recipes that we provide. Because i'm a foodie i love. I knew from a young age as a kid. That was one of my biggest issues with binge eating disorder. Is i would think oh..

Apple announces new products at October event
"We have just watched an October apple event with new iphones. My name is Dave Nathan. This is the apple this extra and I'm joined by my wonderful colleagues from. Applebee's we have Scott. Thomas Tumble and tighter Stephen, what we did today that was interesting was apples. I am not apples high-speed event. Which introduced new iphones the log awaited iphone twelve and a new mini home pod. So let's get into talking about what was that. They showed us and what we made it all it was a pretty There were straight into it. I gotTA say Tim came on stage was no. Nothing about numbers or You know the usual marketing stuff that they put it the start he was just straight in there with Hallo. Here's some new stuff. So long enough that your dad had anyone else. Definitely I I noticed that too like. Wow. There aren't any numbers nothing just like straight to it is like I I loved the description with good as always and I thought the you could tell that the the quality they were trying to do the presentation was right there. I mean, it had all these things kind of zooming in zooming out like the part wearing. One of the part where they were demonstrating a family using the. The home mini right and at the very end, one of the major comes in front of them. So it wasn't like they were separate it was like, oh It was and but you know even though with all those. Useless facts I thought they presented way more details than usual and in the devices themselves. Definitely A it was a it was a slick operation I think again today I think we're going to use to these. Deterred I think we've heard of this non live event and I am yeah. I. Think they're they're pretty slick actually it was just over an hour I think in our ten minutes there but so. The puck a fair bit in their. Kicked off with the home pod. Many. So. Obviously, there's the main homepage has been out for how long three or four years or something on. Quite expensive and hasn't. been a huge success This one comes in a much, much more reasonable ninety, nine dollars. And apart from that like the sticking to you know the main points of at are. You know very much high quality audio declaim very good Seri- intelligence. That's obviously debatable depending on who you speak to. Security features. Like Intercom. So do any of us guys you guys 'em home pods as it is because I know I don't diamond the. Echo I'm Lee. I don't. Either I have an echo. I don't have a home pod, the full version neither. I I went with the A lady platform won't say the name by the way. Somebody was US tweeting that every time they would say, Hey s I. R I Siri kept activating on their phone. That's kind of a problem. With. All of you guys I don't think any of us have home pod and she simply just kind of costly. Yeah. So with this one, then tweak. tweak. Your interest. On. Your does now is ninety nine dollars. Yeah I definitely will sit down and take a look at it. I am seriously thinking about it that is within the price I would pay for something like that.
The $100 MBA Show
Should You Start Accepting Apple Pay?
"One of the reasons why I'm doing this lesson today on apple pay is it's something that I actually looked into a few months ago. I did a massive amount of research on. This is worth actually incorporating in our website in our payment process. Depending on your website could be something as simple as just flipping a switch or a custom solutions is can take some time and money in our case it's the latter. So I wanted to make sure before we invested the time in adding apple pay that is actually the right time to do it something that we should do now and will benefit us in the future. So I did all the research for you. Let me tell you what I think first of all, let's talk a little bit about apple pay is applebee's basically apple's mobile Wallet most of US know about apple pay because it's either incorporated in a iphone that you have or somebody you know that has an iphone were they pay Vajpai wave where they just you know bring their phone to credit card machine and a charges their account. This is just one aspect of apple pay, which is the NFC aspect the near field communication aspect where basically it's like the tap and go technology but apple pay is a lot more than you can actually pay via apple pay if you're an apple device for online transactions because has already secured safely your credit card information and really with a double click on your phone or A click of a gun on a laptop with a touch ID, you can pay for things the fast way you could pay for anything and many big websites have caught on said, wow, this is actually a very, very fast way for people with apple devices to pay for goods I'm talking about online websites not even in physical stores. If you're in a physical store is a no brainer. You need to have NFC technology where you have tap and go where you're utilizing the whether it's apple pay or competitor like Samsung's. Even some credit cards now that have that built in but when it comes to your online store, apple pay again is a fast way for people to just use the stored information that's on their device on their computer on their phone or on their ipad to pay for things with a single click. Now, what's intriguing about this technology is basically allowing your customers to have as fast as a checkup process as they do with something like Amazon where They save all your credit card information you add to car or you just pay immediately and it's done. Amazon's really locked that down and it's the one of the reasons why they have such rapid growth and Jeff visas as one of the richest men that ever lived in the history of humankind and that technology that fast checkout is one of the reasons why Amazon so successful. So imagine you can borrow the experience in put it into your own. Website and that's really why I wanted to look into this because it really allows people to have a seamless checkout experience. The step where you at your payment details online for any transaction is the step where you're going to experience the most friction. This is where there's the most likelihood for people to abandon car. You can remove that friction altogether with something like apple pay you are one step ahead you're really gaining a competitive advantage from your competitor. And allowing your customers have a better experience. Now, of course, this is only relevant for those who have vices, and of course, apple pay should be an additional form of payment. So they can pay by credit card that you pay by apple pay. You might even want offer pay pal. The point here is is that it should be in addition to traditional credit card payment and you might be thing wall You know how many people actually using this Will there's two stats that really compelled me to say this is an important thing to implement in your website number one, five percent of all transactions online are paid with apple pay already in two, thousand and nineteen it's five percent you can increase your sales. Simply by offering this okay. Second in just five years from now in twenty twenty-five, the projection is ten percent they're going to go from five to ten percent in that short amount of time one and ten payments online are going to be with apple pay. You might be thinking what else ago well, another thing that makes people believe the apple's going to take over the carless payment is the sheer growth of the company itself apples at a tremendous pace. It's already the most valuable company in the world just hit a two trillion. Dollar valuation the Most Valuable Company in American history apple has already started to sell products at all different price points and they're not just an expensive product. Now, where you know you buy an iphone for twelve hundred dollars, they have iphones for five hundred dollars. Now they have the I watched, they have ipads for four hundred dollars. The point is that they want to get you in the ecosystem as early as possible as many people as possible because in all of that they on the same kind of software that will incorporate. Apple Pace, you'll be able to pay for things on those devices. Even if it's a four hundred dollar device, it's not an expensive piece of hardware. So applebee's only going to grow and experts have already said that you know paypal still the leader in online transactions and online payments, but they're starting to lose footing an apple CERNA gain on them and it all has to do with the fact that it's so seemless in order for you to pay for anything on pay pal if you're on a website, you choose the. PAYPAL option, and then the next sends you to pay pal and then you've got to sign into your pay pal and then you've got gotta authorize and you have to confirm. So it's a few steps and then you go back to the car and then you check out with apple pay. The experience is literally just choosing applegate and checking out you know you're going to confirm on your device either through face id or with touch ID, and it's a done deal over.

She's a hardworking lady. And you know when she's passionate about something. I mean she was like stop. Don't even stop the conversation. Stop talking to other people and I'm like April. Let's your wonderful client. I did her wedding years ago. I'm GONNA keep shopping. I just saw I called asked for other references and then Dr Kirkpatrick who works with Dr Lie. He recommended you and then somebody at the. What is the golf course? What is the golf course in a Wassot Patriot? Golf course those guys recommended you and then somebody who I knew knew. Somebody said that you built the pool for Shangri law. Is that correct? That is correct. Yes sir how in the world have you built such a great reputation or are you paying these people? Unfortunately that was a case we'd been out of business a long time ago. Okay well you're having a lot of success now so I wanNA start off at the very beginning. What was your life like a growing up as a kid and you know where. Where did you grow up? Actually I grew up in the East Tulsa area in a town cockatoos which is where we still live and it's actually our businesses located. I'm one of four brothers We were a I would say low to middle income family and what that equates to basically is. I fortunate I was the second oldest brother so I only had to wear my older brothers. Close unfortunately my youngest brother. He had four groups close. Oh wow the time it got down to him and that was Kinda how it was back in those days but but we learned early on that my parents care of our needs but any time we wanted something at that point we had to go out and we had to work for it. What did your parents do? My Dad was an instructor at a at an avionics school here in Tulsa and my mother was actually a nurse. So when did it occur to you that you wanted to become the pool guy you know because a lot of people out there that don't ever unfortunately find they're calling or something they enjoy doing? A winded occurred to you. I love pools. Well it's it's a little bit of a story if I can kinda start at the beginning and you can make a short story long if you want to. Because that's the podcast and our listeners. Love the story so you can give it anyway. What happened was whenever I graduated high school. Actually join the military. I went to the Army Aviation Division of the military went through my training and when I got out of my training I was nineteen years old and I was in the army reserves. And I didn't know what I wanted to do. I thought I wanted to have an aviation career but the more I looked into the more I thought well. I'm not sure that's right for me. And so it's kind of ironic. Because my brother was the store manager of a local company here in Tulsa and said. Hey we're hiring people. Would you like to come to work at this company and I said sure why not you know I? I wasn't afraid of work and so I went to work. There is actually as a laborer digging ditches for this company and I ended up staying with this company for ten years really. Yeah and I worked my way up to a foreman with the company and at that point I was twenty eight years old twenty nine years old and I had an opportunity. Economy tanked a little bit in Tulsa. This is back in ninety eight or nine hundred ninety. Excuse me and so a friend of mine was a ups driver and he said. Hey you know what? Why don't you come dry forests because we hire people at Christmas time? You know Christmas drivers for the extra load and so I actually went to work for them driving back in nineteen ninety and they hired me permanently as a ups driver. I did that for two years driving. And then the next six years I wanted to management with them and I was actually in operation supervisor for ups. What did you learn at ups? I've read case studies about ups. I LOVE UPS. We WE GET PACKAGES. Devon the ups packages delivered every day. No Yeah I'm always high five in my guy giving I love that guy. What did you learn during your time at? Ups You know. The biggest thing learned there was how to run a company efficiently especially when I got into the management side of the company. It's a joke when you go into management. Ups If you cut yourself you better bleed brown if you don't believe Brown. They don't want you in management and that was kind of the joke. I think they were kind of serious too about it at some point so but that was kind of how it got along with their but at the age of thirty five years old my wife and I've been married for probably a year to at that time. I always kind of look over at her to confirm everything correctly but I decided I did not want to be part of Corporate America got. I decided and my wife. She was in corporate America too. She had quit her job About six months earlier she a lifeguard in corporate America actually. She has been a lifeguard at this time. She was a vice president for a computer training center in Tulsa got it and so anyway so whenever I told her I said you know what I said. If you want to quit your job Stay home pursue your career. Because she's an accountant she's GonNa take on accounting with different companies and stuff. I'll continue to work for two more years and then at that point we'll make a decision what we WANNA do their life well unfortunately or fortunately have you. WanNa put it about two months after that promise I made to our came home and said guess what honey. I just gave my thirty day. Notice it work and I'm I'm leaving. Ups really and so. You didn't ask her about this. I I don't know if she shaking your head. No so I'm going to say I did not is that a pro tip. Is that a pro tip. Are you recommending for the listeners? Out there to not tell their spouse before they switched careers. It's always better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Okay now I want to ask this because I started my first business. When I was sixteen years old and my parents basement we started what became. Dj CONNECTION DOT COM at the time it was called CMS DJ service. So I don't know I don't really know what it's like to not have my own thing on the side when I worked at Applebee's target and direct. Tv I always worked. I've always had my own thing. Was It scary for you? With what the age of thirty five starting your own thing. And how old were you now? Thirty six I was thirty five years old when you started your own thing at the age of thirty five. Uber had that thought of what have I done just about every day every day. So how did you go out and get the funding to start the Pool Company? Well what we did was Since I've been a management at ups for six years. I'd acquired some stock that was part of the Management Center program that they had and so whenever I left. Ups cashed all that stock in and we figured we could survive on it for probably maybe six to nine months then at that point if things were taken off we were. GonNa go to the line. So how did you? How did you avoid the super? How did you get your ten customers if you can remember well what we did? When we started the company I started out subcontracting to other pool companies. So I I knew how to tile on knew how to excavate a tie rebar so I thought hey I can market myself to these other companies until I can kind of get a foothold on the industry and get things going on our own and I thought why could do that for several months where we did it for about a month then at that point then someone heard about us and next thing I knew we had a pool sold and then another and then another. And then another it just snowballed from there.

"As a young boy in Mechanicsville Virginia Nate Medina had a habit of disappearing nate and had a tendency to wander. He'd sneak out the back door. If you didn't keep an eye on him and he would would go onto people's front porches and if they had wind chimes he would just stand under their wind chimes and listen to the wind chimes chime. That's neat stat. It Kevin Metheny. Nate was always drawn to sound partly because he had William Syndrome is a genetic condition that involves developmental delays and heart problems and people with Williams Syndrome often have hyper-sensitive hearing at six years. Old Nate couldn't talk but he sang or hummed. Almost all the time one day nate seemed irritable. He couldn't use words to tell his parents what was wrong but clearly something was that evening. His parents looked at the couch. Innate wasn't humming in fact he wasn't moving his lips had turned blue. Nate Sister Caroline Caroline was nine years old at the time and remembers it clearly. I just got back home from my daycare after school and I was watching teenage mutant Ninja Turtles Dell's and like my parents started freaking out because they realized that he wasn't breathing and they were on the phone with nine one one nine nine one one was telling them how to do. CPR until they got there and my mom noticed shining. They're looking in fear so she shoved me into the office office to watch my show. Her parents rushed him to the hospital. As word about nate spread through town was at dinner at Applebee's with my family of five going through my facebook theme Tamra letter new. Nate's Mom Diane in Highschool Sa Diane Post a request for prayer. Nate's a heart had stopped and they were trying to revive him and we play store orders at our restaurant and my world continued on and her world completely stopped. Nate's parents always feared this day. Might come but they didn't expect it to happen so quickly. The local hospital tried to prep up nate to take a helicopter ambulance to you the A but they couldn't seem to stabilize him. And after just a few hours nate died. Nate's nate's older sister. Caitlin remember seeing their dad the next day for years. He'd give a nate his morning meds. He woke up really early. And he's like what do I do with my more makings. Yeah I just remember. Actually seeing him cry for the first time does looking desperate for what to do next three days later. Tamra that woman at Applebee's was at nights week thinking of his mother Diane. I felt the weight eight of that loss and it just felt so heavy. A wanted to help. But I didn't know how she mentioned this to another woman and as the two of them stood the next nate's casket. They formed a plan. They decided that for one year they would shower. Diane's family with anonymous acts of kindness and they'd recruit women in different corners of Diane's life to join them we created a facebook group. I chose five ladies and Michelle chose five ladies that was it. They called themselves the secret sisters. Each of the twelve women was assigned a month and for that what month they commit to three things. Pray for Nate's family every day since small gestures of love throughout the month and give one larger gift all anonymously. Nate's parents remember getting that first card signed from the secret. Sisters immediately began investigating the people were that looks like so and so's handwriting and thus began the stream of anonymous notes and gifts from the secret sisters stairs. Tamra says she and the others usually made deliveries under the cover of darkness. I was terrified that I would drive by their house and they would recognize my car. Are you know when was the last time you Ding Dong ditch. Somebody as a forty year old. It was always a joy getting ready to go out the door and all of a sudden. It's like Whoa. There's a there's basket on the front porch or there's something hidden in the mailbox or there's something out of my car. They were really creative. The family was given crafts. AFS Food and gift cards to movies and bowling alleys and restaurants things to distract them from their grief. It Touch Diane that these mysterious givers. I knew her son so well. For example Diane received one gift in particular that reflected nate's obsession with ladybugs. She opened the package edge to see a set of wind chimes. Just like the ones nate used to wander off to find. Small ladybugs dangled among the chimes. I just started crying. I mean it was joy mixed with grief. Nate was still being remembered. You would hear those chimes go off just about every day it seemed like and it was just a subtle reminder that that's something something they loved a year after nate's death. His family received a large stuffed envelope from the secret sisters. We're like Oh what's IT GONNA. It'll be now and It was a puzzle when they put the Jigsaw together. They saw an invitation to a picnic at the park. It was finally time to meet the secret. Sisters is the day of the party. The twelve women from different parts of Diane's life gathered nervously under a shelter are at the park waiting to finally reveal themselves then Diana and her family arrived they got out of their car and they scanned across and saw all of a standing there. It really wasn't overwhelming moment. We all pretty much were in tears. Then they reminisce together about a year that had turned from terrible sadness too deep deep joy it was the best thing that could come out of a horrible situation looking at all. The friends soon gathered Tamra saw that over one year a little idea had turned into something big. I realized that the seemingly small things that we do in life

So what works making a wise, pivot, pivot to the future, will I am Omar Abba, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. This is tech news briefing, im Tanya, boosters reporting from the newsroom in New York coming up clearing up the cloud, and more specifically, how safe it is a look at how some companies stumble indie face of cybersecurity risks asking the question. How safe is big data in the cloud. And how are companies staying on the ball? That's after these tech headlines. The Trump administration is examining whether to require the next generation five G cellular equipment, be designed and manufactured outside China. The move could reshape global manufacturing and further fan. Tensions between the countries as part of the review US officials are asking telecom equipment manufacturers, whether they can make and develop US bound hardware, which includes cell tower electronics as well as routers and switches, the conversations are in early and informal stages.

Some of the biggest restaurant operators are pushing back against fees, charged by delivery companies. The latest journal reporting says McDonald's Applebee's and cousins, submarines are among the chains negotiating to pay lower commissions and asking their delivery partners to spend more on marketing, and promotional discounts is comes at the right time. According to a recent analysis of credit card data delivery companies are plowing money into their businesses and intensifying the competition since two thousand seventeen for example, grub hubs market share has roughly have while door dash and Uber. Eats have gained businesses. And French, 'electronic aerospace company, Thales is exploring new artificial intelligence tools warns that will eventually separate, and keep track of unmanned aircraft at low altitudes. The journal says the company is convinced such tech offers the best chance to cope with the antiquated growth in commercially operated. Drones, here's the story, existing radars and human traffic, controllers simply won't be able to handle the crush of data and only a applications are likely to have the capacity to react quickly enough to maintain a safe, buffer around individual drones. The trend was evident during the Paris air show last week with several companies disclosing new ideas for opening up additional airspace, for unmanned aircraft coming up putting data into the cloud can make it more secure.

I think a lot of people look at the cloud and think that there's a lot of hackers always going after it. And that's the main cause of concern. However, if you look at a lot of the different issues that people have had over the past few years, it's usually down to human error, and a Miskin figuration a misunderstanding of, maybe what they were dealing with and really work consortium of, of members of, of regulated financial institutions.

Yeah, is with as amendment of collaboration and it might be it's not clear in the contract ultimately who's responsible for what with new European regulations on privacy and network security coming into force? It's a critical time to benchmark company practices. There is more of an expectation. Now from customers say will we need some help you'll the expert. But go the cloud provider. You'll the expert this, you'll technology you need to educate us in good us through this. So if we do something wrong, we don't expect us the private tournaments. I will. That's not all out. That's you will folk moving expectation now from customers saying, well, we, we won't and education training piece around that and really guide it through.
