As per Gourmet Traveller.

Australian food and travel magazine, Gourmet Traveller, has just announced its annual hotel awards. And taking the sunburnt throne is a little known Sydney hotel with only twenty-nine rooms.

The Hotel of the Year for 2018 so happens to be Paramount House, a WWII-era warehouse in Surry Hills that was once the Australian headquarters for Paramount Pictures. With rooms starting at an incredibly reasonable $240 a night, the "... four-year renovation of the 1940s landmark..." has resulted in this house of "... poise and style... but also fun and games...”. The hotel's location makes it the ideal stay, being within the immediate vicinity of a café, bar, cinema, and co-working space. A soon-to-be unveiled restaurant known as Poly and helmed by Ester's Mat Lindsay is also set to launch on the site.

Other recipients of Gourmet Traveller's annual hotel awards include, Hobart’s MACq 01 for Large Hotel of the Year and Best Minibar, Mornington Peninsula vineyard destination Jackalope for Boutique Hotel of the Year, and Alla Wolf-Tasker’s Lake House in Daylesford for Regional Hotel of the Year.

For graying baby boomers like me, going to the drive-in was a summer ritual. Of the dozens that used to be open in Massachusetts, only a handful remains, and none of them are near Boston. But that doesn't mean you can't catch outdoor films this summer. The Hatch Shell on the Esplanade along the Charles River presents Free Friday Flicks starting June 21 with Hotel Transylvania. Other family-friendly movies to be shown will include Despicable Me on July 12 and Here Comes the Boom (which was shot in and around our fair city) on July 26. The films start at sundown.

Also on Friday evenings, beginning in mid-June through the end of August, the Boston Harbor Hotel will feature movies on its patio overlooking the harbor, such as What's Up, Doc on June 14 and E.T. on July 5. The films will be preceded by music. Patrons of the hotel's Rowes Wharf Sea Grille restaurant are invited to enjoy the films. Yet another place to catch outdoor movies is The Shops at Prudential Center. It will kick off its Family Film Festival starting on July 6 and continuing on Saturdays through August 24.

While the outdoor movies will surely be great, they won't quite match the classic drive-in experience -- and that's probably a good thing. There was some hanky-panky going on amid the cheesy films and the ads depicting dancing popcorn boxes and other gourmet fare served at the refreshment stand. It reminds me of a story that my old pal, Dick Beech, enjoyed telling. An executive at a local television station back in the day, the mild-mannered Beech used to transform himself into the wacky children's TV show host, Willie Whistle. A tireless supporter of charities, Beech/Willie made countless personal appearances for organizations. He once volunteered at a drive-in event for the Jimmy Fund. After a short promotional film was shown, he made the rounds asking customers for donations and, er, interrupted the activities of a young couple. Imagine the couple's surprise when they discovered the popular clown tapping on their car's especially foggy windows. There won't be any canoodling going on at the outdoor films presented at the Hatch Shell, Prudential Center, or the Boston Harbor Hotel (but you could book a room at the hotel).

The movies are one of the many reasons that Summer Selects…Boston. Learn more about the hot events happening in the city this summer.

A Cockapoo or Cockerpoo is a cross-bred dog, created by crossing a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle, in most cases the Miniature Poodle. Breeders usually try to retain the small build of the spaniel, while retaining the wavy quality of the Poodle's coat.

The Cockapoo has been popular in the United States since at least the 1970s. It has become so common that many, if not most, Cockapoos on the market today are the result of breeding male and female Cockapoos rather than of a direct cross between the Cocker Spaniel and the Poodle.

The Cockapoo is still under development. Strictly speaking, the Cockapoo cannot yet be described as a dog breed because it does not 'breed true'. In breeders' terms, 'breeding true' means that, when two specimens of the same breed are mated, the puppies have consistently predictable characteristics and will resemble their parents, rather than exhibiting random characteristics of the dog breeds in their parents' ancestries. Further, the breed standards of breeds-under-development are invariably freer, more open to interpretation and cover more observable types than those of established or kennel club recognised breeds.

Cockapoos generally weigh between 20 and 24 pounds (9 to 11 kg) and stand about 14 or 15 inches (35 to 38 cm) at the withers. Like their originating breeds, Cockapoos come in a variety of coat colours, both solid colours and combinations. The general shape of the Cockapoo, in particular its ears, mostly resembles the Spaniel, but the coat and face are usually more reminiscent of the Poodle, some Cockapoos shed and some don't. They are loyal, and don't cost more than a cat to feed. They are pretty much odourless and they don't slobber.

Cockapoos are well known for their loyalty to their owner, and are known to get jealous if he/she pays attention to anything else. Like most spaniels, they can be very energetic, but this can vary widely from dog-to-dog. Like both their parent breeds they are trainable and intelligent.

Cockapoos are generally well off in the health-risks lists, so vet bills are usually not an issue. However, they can suffer from problems associated with either the Cocker Spaniel or the Poodle.

Bridge Direct - Instant Decisions

What do you need to know about short-term bridge loans?

    Bridge Direct     0

Short-term bridge loans are designed to be exactly as they sound, a short-term funding solution, designed to ‘bridge the gap’ until a more permanent solution comes along. The duration of a bridge loans usually ranges between 6-12 months, however, these are not set in stone.

Many property developers regularly use bridge loans to help finance the purchase of a property while the sale of an existing one is still pending. They can then begin any remedial works on the new property without having to worry about having to sell the existing property and hold off works.

With property purchasing, especially in chains, completion dates rarely go as expected. So by using a bridging loan as an advance to fill this financial gap, properties can be purchased, and turned around for sale or rent much more quickly, saving money and time.

As bridging loans are secured loans, there are no set criteria or credit checks involved.  As a secured loan the funds will be secured against assets already held by the borrower in an existing property or asset. This means as long as you hold enough capital in the asset being used as security, then you may be eligible for a loan.

Business Bridging Finance Options

Short-term bridge loans are usually available for up to about 85% of the property or assets value.  The interest on this these types of loan will often be slightly higher than that of a traditional loan or mortgage. However, these charges can be more than negated when you take into consideration the savings, in both time and money, which are made from being able to begin work on the property sooner.

It is this instant finance that banks just cannot offer. In the wake of the recent financial crisis, banks have become increasingly wary about who, when and where they lend their money. In order to protect their return there has been a drastic increase in set criteria and credit checks associated with both loans and mortgages. They become increasingly wary or may even reject your application straight away if you have had a history of bad or adverse credit.

A short-term bridge loan may be the answer to a financial dilemma when stuck in a chain, looking to purchase a property quickly or for any business application. As a bridge loan can be used against any business application, it is becoming increasingly common for these types of loans to be taken out to help fund;

  • Large tax bills
  • Large supplier invoices
  • Staff wages

Bridge Direct bridging loan solutions

So, whether you have discovered the ideal investment property and don’t wish it to get away, or need to release some capital quickly to pay your staff, taking out a short-term Bridge Loan could be the best option for you.

Kazimierz Tetmajer

Polish author

Kazimierz Tetmajer, in full Kazimierz Przerwa Tetmajer, (born February 12, 1865, Ludźmierz, Galicia [now in Poland]—died January 18, 1940, Warsaw), poet and short-story writer who was a member of the Young Poland movement.

Tetmajer belonged to a landowner’s family from the foothills of the Tatra Mountains. He studied philosophy in Kraków and in Heidelberg, Germany. Much of his lyric poetry received publication in the Kraków periodical Życie (“Life”). His nostalgic and pessimistic Poezje (“Poetry”), published in eight series between 1891 and 1924, shows the influence of the Romantic poet and playwright Juliusz Słowacki and of French and Belgian verse. Tetmajer’s collection of sketches and tales Na skalnym Podhalu (1903–10; Tales of the Tatras), written almost entirely in the local dialect, is considered his best work. Based in part on ancient legends of the Tatra Mountains area, these colourful stories describe the mountaineers, their violent lives, and their intense love of freedom.

Prince Albert Mountains

mountains, Antarctica

Prince Albert Mountains, major mountain group of Antarctica. A section of the Transantarctic Mountains, the Prince Albert Mountains extend for about 230 miles (370 km) along the Scott Coast of Victoria Land, west of the Ross Sea. They are bordered on the south by the Ferrar Glacier and on the north by the Priestley Glacier and the Deep Freeze Range. The isolated Mount Brooke (8,776 feet [2,675 m]), located west of McMurdo Sound, is the highest peak. At the northern end of the range stands Mount Mackintosh, at 8,097 feet (2,468 m). The mountains were discovered in February 1841 by the British explorer Sir James Clark Ross, who named them in honour of Queen Victoria’s consort. The area was first explored by the British in the early 1900s, followed by expeditions from New Zealand and the United States in the mid-20th century.

Handwritten typefaces can increase sales of indulgent products

Category: Blog & News

You may have noticed some brands attempting to represent themselves as provincial, “authentic” or perhaps natural?  From craft beer to café menus, everyone seems to be getting in on the artisan act. If that’s something you are interested in, it might be worth paying close attention to the typeface you choose for your packaging because that will impact how your customers perceive your product.

For example (figure 1 below), over time Macro has tried both a “machine” typeface form its semolina and a less formal, handwritten type typeface for its quinoa.  Without being privy to their testing, some related research from Austria may shed light on which would be more effective.

Typeface categories

Image 1. Categories of typeface

Handwritten typefaces can increase purchases

Noting that handwritten typefaces endow products “with a sense of human contact, warmth and sensitivity”, researchers from the University of Innsbruck were interested in the impact of typeface on real purchase behaviour.

Working with local producers, they developed packaging for two products, crisp bread and chocolate, creating variants with either a machine or “handwritten” typeface.

Table 1 (below) summarises what they found. Products packaged with handwritten typefaces were purchased significantly more than the same product with machine written text.

Handwritten typeface on artisan products

Table 1. Product purchases by typeface

Handwritten typefaces make us feel warmer about the product

Delving further, the researchers discovered why handwritten typefaces had an effect on behaviour. In their words,  “Using handwritten typefaces… increases consumers’ perceptions of human contact, warmth, and sensitivity, which prompts their stronger emotional connection with the product and ultimately makes consumers evaluate the product more favourably.”

Typeface is more important for unfamiliar brands

Thinking more about the emotional engagement with a product, the researchers wanted to understand whether typeface impacts changed depending on the consumer’s regard for the brand. Hypothesising that those who already felt an emotional connection with a brand would not be influenced by typeface, the researchers presented people with a well-known brand of orange juice (Minute Maid) and a fictitious brand.

In this case people rated Minute Maid more favourably than the fictitious brand when machine typeface was used, whereas both brands were rated similarly in the handwritten condition. The upshot is that if people are already attached to your brand, handwritten typeface won’t change their ratings, but if you are a new brand it may be worth considering.

Handwriting is more important for indulgent products

Aside from brand familiarity, the type of product you are selling can also change the impact of the typeface you choose. In their final study, the researchers tested the impact of typeface on a functional product (e.g. insect repelling candle) and a hedonic one (e.g. scented, decorative candle). Here they found the impact of typeface was reversed. Handwriting was good for hedonic products, but machine typeface was better for functional (Table 2 below).

Product type by typeface

Table 2. Product type by typeface

What this means for you

When it comes to representing your brand and product through communication devices like packaging, sweating the small stuff like typeface is important. As this latest research has shown, less formal typefaces can help you sell more and improve product evaluations for hedonic products by increasing the level of emotional connection.

Why misspelling a name is more of a problem than you realise

Category: Blog & News

I was having a pleasant exchange via LinkedIn with one of my past managers when something interrupted my enjoyment. She spelt my name wrong.

Granted, spelling my name Bri is not as common as Bree, or even the fromage inspired Brie, but having worked with me and, indeed, my name being right there in my profile means she should have known better.

Is it a big deal? Yes. Paying attention to small details like a name can change behaviour in very real ways. It can mean a customer doesn’t do business with you or a recruiter doesn’t take your call. It can even change how people recycle, as some researchers discovered.

Trudel, Argo and Meng (2016) were interested in the impact misspelling a name had on how people discarded a paper cup.  Inviting a group of volunteers to rate the quality of drinking water, the researchers either spelled the participant’s name correctly (i.e. Sarah, Paul, Ashley) or incorrectly (i.e. Saruh, Pawl, Ashlee) and then watched to see how each person disposed of their cup.

Cups with misspelled names were recycled less

48% of those whose name was spelled correctly recycled their cup, whereas only 24% of people whose name was incorrect did so. Those who received a cup with no name were just as bad, with only 26% recycling.

What’s this about? Identity Bias. According to the researchers, “the presence, strength, and valence of an identity causes consumers to treat functionally similar everyday products differently during disposal. Further, we find that consumers are more likely to recycle a product linked to the self because trashing such a product creates an identity threat.”

Our name is central to our identity, and so mucking it up means you are attacking people are their core.

I’ll be honest, when a client with whom I have corresponded misspells my name a little bit of my desire to work with them dies.  It shows they do not care about forging a respectful connection. Goodness knows, I don’t get it right all the time either, but the lesson from the research is that small courtesies like getting someone’s name right make a big difference.  If you happen to realise your mistake, apologise as soon as possible. “I’m so sorry, I just realised I spelled your name wrong!” will do wonders to smooth over a festering resentment.

With apologies to Destiny’s Child, “Spell my name, spell my name, if you want my business, make damn sure you do this”.

People Notice Changes in Loved Ones during the Holidays

he holidays may be the only time all year that some families get together. It’s not unusual for family members to notice changes in loved ones that were not visible the year before or during phone calls.

Changes can range from clear differences in physical health and appearance to more subtle alterations in mood and cognitive abilities. Sometimes these changes are immediately apparent to a visiting relative or friend. Other times it is a nagging feeling that things are not quite right, causing lingering anxiety for the visitor long after they have returned to their own home.

Increasing longevity has brought with it both benefits and new challenges. The decline of a parent’s health or intellectual capacity often requires adult children to become involved in decisions about a parent’s life. These decisions are not easy and there are no simple solutions. Each older person and family system is unique. The right answer for one family may be inappropriate for another faced with a similar situation and decision.

If you have noticed memory or cognitive changes – even subtle ones – in older family members, it’s important to follow up. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, but there are many other factors that can contribute to cognitive changes including other illnesses – such as Huntington’s disease, Pick’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or vascular dementia – as well as injury, poor nutrition or problems with medication. One option is to discuss your concerns – at no charge – with a Master’s level clinician at the Alzheimer’s Association. AA Helpline clinicians can help you determine if you should take action and, if so, what next steps might be appropriate, including referral to physician or other health organization. Early detection and action are key to minimizing symptoms through medication, protection from possible neglect/abuse, legal and long-term care planning, and securing resources and assistance needed to continue to live independently.

Fighting crime with Daylight Saving Time

On a seemingly-arbitrary Sunday each spring and fall, we all dutifully change our clocks by an hour, often griping about the hassle. Sometimes we do this only after missing an appointment, making the transition even worse. Even in a modern world where electronic devices update time for us, the shift of an hour messes with sleep patterns and daily routines – anyone with kids can tell you babies don’t respect Daylight Saving Time (DST). Why even bother with the shift anymore? What’s the point of moving an hour of sunlight into the evening?

In a new paper forthcoming in The Review of Economics and Statistics, we find that shifting daylight from the morning to the early evening has pretty hefty returns for public safety. When DST begins in the spring, robbery rates for the entire day fall an average of 7 percent, with a much larger 27 percent drop during the evening hour that gained some extra sunlight.

Why might this time shift matter? The timing of sunset is pretty close to the time many of us leave work, and walking to our cars or homes in the dark makes us easier targets for street criminals. We feel safer when we’re walking in the daylight, and it’s easy to imagine why light might have a deterrent effect on crime: offenders know they’re more likely to be recognized and get caught if they’re fully visible. The timing of sunset matters because our daily schedules can’t easily adapt to follow the daylight. Most people can’t leave work before 5pm, even if it would be safer to do so.

Congress occasionally extends DST, often with the stated goal of reducing energy consumption. In 2007 it extended the policy by four weeks – three in the spring and one in the fall. This produced a useful natural experiment for our paper, which helped us isolate the effect of daylight from other seasonal factors that might affect crime. It turns out extending DST saved $59 million per year in avoided social costs by reducing the number of evening robberies. Even better, robbery rates didn’t increase in the morning, even though those hours were darker – apparently, criminals aren’t early risers.

Does this mean we should extend DST further? It’s complicated. There’s research showing DST does not, in fact, reduce energy consumption. And other researchers find that the DST time shift has substantial costs, including reducing our response time and cognition, and adding extra stress on our bodies. It increases the number of traffic accidents, workplace injuries, and heart attacks in the days just after the time change, as our internal clocks are thrown off. But most of these costs are due to the transition between Standard Time and DST, not the sunset time itself. We could easily avoid them by moving to year-round DST – that is, permanently shifting that hour of daylight to the evening, and then leaving our clocks alone. Our research suggests that we’d be safer for it.

    "Why does everybody else have all the fun?"

Mick’s Story

Mick is my 15 week old Cattle Dog. He is my dream dog. I have wanted a well bred Blue Heeler for as long as I can remember, but I didn’t want one with the typical temper that they come with.

While at work I met a guy who bred cattle dogs. My husband and I drove out to his farm to check out some puppies. This breeder had something like 45 cattle dogs and every single one of them was beautiful. Not one had a nasty temperament and he really prides himself on this. The decision was made. I put in the order for the type of puppy that I wanted and bingo…along came Mick.

He is an absolute darling. He is cheeky and he is the most confident puppy I have ever met. I take him to classes to socialise him and his best friends are a Newfoundland and 2 German Shepherds, all 5 times bigger than him. I have big plans for this dog. Stay tuned to see his accomplishments.

He is also the face of my business.

The BSAVA recognise that fearful reactions to loud noises, such as thunder and fireworks are common in dogs and likely to be an issue in many other animals.

The BSAVA recommends that veterinary surgeons advise evidence-based therapies for these fear responses in order that they may improve the welfare of animals under their care.

These would include:

  • Behavioural management, such as provision of an enclosed place to hide.
  • Use of short term medication with anxiolytic and amnesic effects.
  • The use of pheromones as an adjunct may be beneficial in some cases.

While the short term management of fears and phobias may be necessary BSAVA recommends that long term treatments should also be implemented wherever possible, these include:

  • Behavioural therapy, using desensitisation and counter-conditioning.
  • Long term drug therapy, where required.

Those without expertise in behavioural medicine should consider referral to a behavioural practitioner.

Background Information

Many animals show a fear response to loud noises such as fireworks. Since many animals have more acute hearing that humans this may be a normal response to an abnormally loud sounds or it may become a phobia. These fear responses may be transient, and decrease as the animal gets used to the noise. However, a significant proportion of individuals will become sensitised, in other words the response will increase with repeated exposure. The particular response of an individual animal to noises will vary between individuals. Cats will usually try and escape or hide, whereas dogs may show a range of responses such as barking, seeking owner attention, pace, pant or vocalise. These responses can be severe and animals can be in distress throughout periods of exposure to noises, and for a prolonged period afterwards.

There is accumulating evidence that phobias can be treated successfully using behavioural modification techniques, such as desensitisation and counter-conditioning. These programmes can take some time, especially in cases where the response has been present for a long time, or is particularly severe. Therefore, owners are advised to consult their veterinary surgeon several months before fireworks are anticipated.

Business Overview:

“If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.” - Anita Roddick.

Make a full-time income on a part-time basis in the trillion-dollar furniture and real estate markets. How? Assume ownership of this fun-to-run, rent-free home furnishings company specializing in real estate staging, social media marketing, and home show exhibiting.

The current owner, Angie, proved that within a few months of promoting brand new, brand-name furniture and mattresses for sale on social media, she could both pay the rent for a million-dollar home and provide a pleasant living for her family of four. But where Angie really made her money as a home furnishings dealer was by decorating homes for sale or rent with factory-priced, celebrity-branded furniture and wall art. She sold both the homes and the furniture for an average $50,000 net profit per deal. This opened the door for more interior decorating and home staging projects.

And to think Angie did all this part-time from her kitchen nook.

FOR SALE is a thriving home decor dealership license that would make an ideal add on for a real estate professional/investor, interior decorator, home stager, and/or someone looking to create a full-time income on a part-time basis with little to no rent.

This home decor dealership makes a six figure income in a variety of ways including staging and/or decorating condos, homes, offices, and vacation rentals, marketing furniture on social media, drop shipping furniture anywhere in the U.S., receiving referrals from a national team of independent furniture brokers, flipping homes, conducting fundraisers for charitable organizations with mattresses, and exhibiting big ticket items and kids furniture at home shows.

Note: The numbers in this ad reflect the owner’s 2019 projections. Initial training and ongoing support are provided by the parent company. Financial assistance is available upon request.

The euro is at its highest level in more than 3 years

  • Euro climbs above 1.22 against the dollar on Monday morning.
  • This marks its highest level since late 2014.
  • The single currency is benefitting from positive talks in Germany about the formation of a new coalition government.

LONDON – The euro has climbed to its highest level in more than three years on Monday as investors continue to take heart in the eurozone’s growing economic recovery and buy heavily into the single currency.

By just before 10.00 a.m. GMT (5.00 a.m. ET) the currency is higher by around 0.5% against the dollar to trade at $US1.2258, a level not seen since later 2014, as the chart below illustrates:

EuroMarkets Insider

The single currency has rallied strongly in the last week, especially after it was announced that Germany has moved closer to forming a new coalition to govern the country, several months after a general election failed to produce a clear winner.

Greater clarity and stability over the politics of the eurozone’s biggest economy will be almost universally welcomed by investors in the bloc, as it allows them to continue to focus on the economic story, which has seen growth accelerate rapidly over the last year or so.

The euro is also gaining some support from reports last week that Spanish and Dutch finance ministers have agreed to work together to push for a Brexit deal that keeps Britain as close to the European Union as possible. Having initially boosted the pound significantly, the report from Bloomberg has also helped the euro, which will benefit from further Brexit clarity.

Critics slam lawmakers who complained that their private gym doesn't have towels because of the government shutdown

  • The US government is partially shutdown, but members of Congress are still using their exclusive gym.
  • Some members of the House of Representatives complained to The Washington Post that there weren’t enough towels stacked in the gym Saturday morning, and they wondered whether it was because of the shutdown.
  • People on Twitter criticised lawmakers for complaining about the relatively trivial matter amid the shutdown.

Congress is currently scrambling to re-open the government after the Senate failed to pass a funding bill late Friday night, forcing a partial shutdown.

But some on Capitol Hill are concerned about the private gyms that are available exclusively for lawmakers.

“Members also complaining to me that the House gym lacks enough towels this morning and they wonder if it’s because of the shutdown,” Robert Acosta, a Washington Post reporter, said in a tweet Saturday morning.

Although some federal programs and branches close during a shutdown, the exclusive House and Senate workout facilities appear to have remained open.

Acosta’s tweet about the House members’ complaints drew outrage on Twitter.

Justin Kanew, a Democratic congressional candidate for Tennessee’s 7th district weighed in on the controversy, too.

During the 16-day government shutdown in 2013, the exclusive gyms stayed open, but towel service was unavailable,ThinkProgress reported at the time. The House gym features a pool, basketball courts, a sauna, steam room, and flat screen TVs. Taxpayers fund the cleaning and maintenance.

Deliberations between the Democratic and Republican party leadership over a funding bill are ongoing in an attempt to end the shutdown, but the two sides are also engaged in a nasty blame game. Republicans blame Democrats – particularly Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer – for blocking a key vote Friday night that would have averted the shutdown. Democrats, meanwhile, blame President Donald Trump for reneging on a deal they reached prior to the vote.

goldman lloyd blankfein
We received a delightful note from Goldman Sachs (GS) pr chief Lucas van Praag in response to this weekend's story in The Independent regarding supposed threats the bank had made to move bankers from London to Spain.

Hi Joe:

I, too, read yesterday's story in the Independent about us supposedly moving people to Spain. As an insider, I was almost certainly more surprised than you.

I accept that Sunday journalism is difficult, particularly in the UK where many titles compete for a share of a pretty small market, but there was a time when fact-based reporting wasn't thought of as an oxymoron. Oh well.

Chris Christie Donald Trump.
Chris Christie, left, and Donald Trump.
REUTERS/Scott Audette
Hillary Clinton ripped New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday, saying at a rally he is someone who follows Donald Trump around "holding his coat."

Clinton's comment came as she unleashed a blistering attack on Trump's Atlantic City casino business in a speech from the abandoned Trump Plaza Hotel on the New Jersey resort town's famed boardwalk.

"It is no secret that Atlantic City has gone through some tough times, but the people of AC are determined to turn things around," the presumptive Democratic nominee said. "You've got a city council and a mayor working hand in hand."

"And if your governor would start doing his job instead of following Donald Trump around holding his coat, maybe we could really get New Jersey's economy moving again," she said.

Christie became one of Trump's highest-profile supporters soon after he dropped out of the presidential race in February. Christie is on the short list to be Trump's running mate.

Last month, a New Yorker story painted Christie as "a sort of manservant" to the Manhattan billionaire — a characterization his spokesman fiercely contested.

Singapore, UK and Canada central banks issue joint report on cross-border payments

THE central banks of Canada, Britain and Singapore on Thursday jointly released a report on cross-border payments and settlements, which provides a framework for assessing transactions in greater depth and discusses how alternative payment models can be implemented.

In the report, "Cross-border interbank payments and settlements: Emerging opportunities for digital transformation", the Bank of Canada, Bank of England and Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) examined three models of cross-border payments. They were supported by a group of financial institutions led by HSBC Bank and including OCBC Bank, the Toronto-Dominion Bank, UOB and Payments Canada.

Two of the models examined are built on existing domestic interbank payments using traditional technology, while the third uses wholesale central bank digital currency and its various applications through distributed ledger technology.

The report concluded that the models could be used to improve access, speed and transparency of cross-border payments, but would require more work from industry and regulators to develop the models further. The banks added that future projects could focus on implementation and policy challenges.

Market voices on:

Sopnendu Mohanty, chief fintech officer at MAS, said: "Payments infrastructure has rapidly improved over the last few years. Domestic transfers can now be completed almost instantly and at low cost. With this as an aspirational benchmark, there is a huge opportunity to improve cross-border payments. This collaborative effort by the central banks and financial institutions across the three jurisdictions helps us identify gaps and areas of improvements in cross-border payments, and sets the foundation for further technical experimentation."

Scott Hendry, Bank of Canada senior special director of financial technology, noted that the cross-border payments space has significant room for improvement.

"Major changes are being proposed by current service providers as well as startups that regulators need to research to better understand. This project was a major step forward in international cooperation and in our understanding of the possible alternatives," he said.

Victoria Cleland, Bank of England executive director for banking, payments and financial resilience, said the strength of financial systems depends on the ability to make secure and efficient payments, and many national payment systems are already benefitting from innovation and change.

"In this context it is important that cross border payments, which totalled 1.8 times global GDP (gross domestic product) in 2016, are enhanced too. They are at the centre of the international financial system, enabling trade, investment and money transfers," said Ms Cleland. "This report, which is itself a great example of international collaboration, provides a foundation that will enable further exploration of how innovation could improve this crucial aspect of finance."

Dispute Over Meal And Rest Period In California

Our Los Angeles Labor Lawyers Explain

California employers are alarmed since the California Legislature enacted § 226.7(b) of the California Labor Code in 2001. This section of the Labor Code requires California employers to pay the employees one hour’s pay at their usual rate for each working day the employee had to miss out a meal or rest period due to work. The California Labor Commissioner held in a landmark case namely, Hartwig v. Orchard Commercial, Inc., that the additional hour of pay an employee may recover under Labor Code §226.7 for missed meal or rest periods is a penalty, not a wage, and is, therefore, subject to a one-year statute of limitations. There is a line of decisions after the landmark case Hartwig, which either held claim of missed meal or rest periods a penalty, not a wage or the other way round. Therefore, it is a huge controversy in California whether claim of missed meal or rest periods is a penalty or wage, since the period of limitation for the claim is determined based on the settlement of the controversy.

Story Of Development

The whole debate started when the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) construed and enforced the meal or rest period payment as a wage, which paved way to the application of the three-year statute of limitations. This holding of DLSE prompted the huge filings of class actions against California employers for alleged meal and rest period violations, which often resulted in ample settlements. Later in 2004, DLSE changed its view and an emergency regulation was issued in part, which clarified and stated that the payment was a penalty and not a wage. Even though this change was a boon to employers, it was only a momentary one; DLSE withdrew the emergency regulation, and pursued the formal regulatory process. Then in June 2005 the landmark case Hartwig, was decided, and there was a growth favoring the employers. In another important case, Caliber Bodyworks, Inc. vs. Superior Court of Los Angeles, the California’s Second District Court of Appeal analyzed § 226.7(b) and found that though the section does not expressly label the payment a “penalty,” it is in the nature of a statutory penalty because it requires the employer to pay more than the value of the missed or non-compliant meal or rest period. It also found that the payment does not compensate the employees for any extra time worked, but rather punishes the employer for its failure to provide required meal and/or rest periods; therefore, it should be considered a penalty. However, Caliber Bodyworks, Inc. case did not conclude this issue. There are various other cases which discussed and debated the controversy at large. Some of those cases are: Murphy v. Kenneth Cole Productions, Inc.; National Steel and Shipbuilding Company vs. Superior Court of San Diego; and Mills vs. Superior Court of Los Angeles. Later in 2006, DLSE decided to draft a new regulation, until then law dealing with the missed meal or rest period claim remained fluctuating in California courts.

Only time will clear the fog from the issue whether claim on missed meal or rest period payments are penalties, wages, or both. Until such a settlement is reached employers are to be cautious, and should take adequate care in complying with the rest and meal period requirements, and stay updated on new developments.

Can Your Car Really Be Hacked? Six Points to Know

Bill O'Leary/The Washington Post via Getty Images
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

For the futurists paid to warn humanity about the next doomsday, car hacking is a delightful topic. It’s a real thing, too, about which automakers have demonstrated practically zero authority or leadership. But since the last time we visited this subject, car hacking still hasn’t reached piss-your-pants paranoia, and won’t send your loved ones zooming into a brick wall. At least not yet. Here’s what we know and need to learn about this tricky subject.

1. Automobile CAN networks were never set up for data security, and still aren’t.

Back in the days of the floppy-disk personal computer, Bosch developed the CAN bus (Controller Area Network) system to digitize the modern car while cutting the complexity of contemporary wiring harnesses. That was 1986, a full decade before the OBD-II protocol surfaced on production cars and “hacking” meant your dad was out in the backyard chopping a tree. Without speaking like semiconductor engineers, CAN is a series of data pipelines that connect various computers throughout the vehicle. It regulates commands sent across an entire network, prioritizes them, and rejects faulty signals. For example, a command to increase the vehicle’s engine-fan speed may take precedence over a request for oil-pressure status. There are dozens of ECUs (Electronic Control Units) in modern cars connected across several CAN networks.

But these networks were never designed to encrypt messages or shield the network from malicious attacks. Automakers separate these CAN networks by what makes sense from a production standpoint, not because they have an innate desire to protect components like the steering and throttle from intruders.

“The problem is real,” says Richard Wallace, a director at the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Michigan. “Until fully-automated vehicles arrive, it’s probably not the hugest concern. It’s not a non-concern, either.”

2. Most hacks require physical access and manufacturer-issued tools.

In 2013, many people gasped when two IT guys took control of a Toyota Prius with a laptop in the back seat. We saw the “60 Minutes” video in February where Lesley Stahl freaked out as she lost control of an Impala. Then there was the anonymous 14-year-old who hacked into a car at a Delphi-sponsored conference using $15 worth of equipment purchased at RadioShack. Subprime auto lenders can remotely disable a car whose owner misses a payment. In all these dramatic cases, however, the hackers (or the bank) needed physical access to the cars—sometimes to the point of ripping apart the dashboards—to initiate the hacks. One such hack in August, after two researchers inserted a Trojan virus into a Tesla Model S from a wired laptop connection, remotely shut off the vehicle while it was moving.

Behind the sensationalist headlines is a highly cited 2011 study by the University of Washington and the University of California, San Diego. Researchers took two identical unnamed cars and claimed that “for every vulnerability we demonstrate, we are able to obtain complete control over the vehicle’s systems.” While they commandeered a telematics unit by sending false phone signals and broke into Bluetooth modules with excessive pairing requests, the hackers first needed manufacturer OBD-II diagnostic tools and access to ECUs on those specific vehicles. Only then could they take them apart, reinstall them with compromised code, and spread the attacks through the CAN bus to control other critical ECUs, such as for the powertrain and steering.

The proposed Right to Repair memorandum would eventually make such tools available to licensed independent repair shops instead of restricting them to franchised dealerships. Automakers claim this could make cars less secure. There is also a possibility that shared, open-source infotainment platforms, such as Android or Linux, could spread the same vulnerabilities across multiple manufacturers that use them.

But since at least 1996, when OBD-II debuted, automakers have built their electronic networks with proprietary code that—other than the exact profit margins per vehicle—is among the most closely guarded data in the industry. Could a mechanic with computer science skills mess with your Benz in the shop? As it stands, your car is more likely to be stolen, stripped, and sold off than it is to get hacked in this manner.

3. Wireless hacks could become a serious threat, but they’re not yet.

Charlie Miller (pictured at top) and Chris Valasek, the software duo who manhandled that Prius like champs, have recently claimed a successful wireless attack on a Jeep Cherokee without any prior wiring or physical tampering. This is where our eyelids start twitching. Previously, in that 2011 university study, researchers claimed to commandeer an unnamed car by breaking into Bluetooth, telematics, and other wireless systems, but only after first modifying the CAN bus through the OBD-II port with factory software. Miller and Valasek, since calling the Cherokee one of the “most hackable” cars last year, say they can locate any Chrysler vehicle equipped with Uconnect using a Sprint cell phone, insert malicious code over the air into the infotainment software, and then disable the brakes and transmission (as witnessed by a Wired reporter in a test car). They’ve been sharing their research with Chrysler, which has released a software patch to specifically blocks such exploits.

Shortly after, researcher Samy Kamkar intercepted cellular signals from GM’s OnStar app and then was able to start a car, lock it, and perform other remote functions that are supposed to be limited to the car’s owner. BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler, and aftermarket Viper security alarms are apparently just as vulnerable to this hack, according to Kamkar. To top it off, he also built a $30 wireless device that tricks keyless entry fobs and steals their unique code, thereby allowing access to any vehicle. Yet another team sent special text messages to an OBD-II dongle (the kind insurance companies use to track driver behavior in exchange for discounts) connected to a C6 Corvette and showed they could cut the brakes. Only a few of these manufacturers have released software updates.

A well-equipped new car packs around 40 wireless access points—Bluetooth, cellular, satellite, Wi-Fi, tire pressure monitors, keyless ignition, and other background systems—derived from some of the same vulnerable components we have in our phones and PCs. But automakers don’t appear to understand their componentry as well as these enterprising computer scientists who, for the moment, are benign enough to work with them and patch the holes. Others may not act this nice.

“The automotive industry needs to understand their own system and the cybersecurity role it plays,” said Jack Pokrzywa, who is leading a committee of automakers and suppliers within the Society of Automotive Engineers to develop the first industry-wide security standards. “Cybersecurity has to be embedded in the concept-and-design phase. As development goes on, how do you validate it while you develop it? What is your response function when you have an incident?”

When 16 automakers were asked this question in a February survey by Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.), only two could answer how they would diagnose or respond to an attack in real time. Industry safeguards for preventing unauthorized remote access were deemed “inconsistent and haphazard.” When it came to wireless uploads to third-party servers, “most [automakers] do not describe effective means to secure the data.” Even by the standards of Massachusetts politicians, this is not good.

4. In-car purchases and personal data could present a ripe target in your car, as elsewhere.

Our digital lives aren’t private, and neither is anything we click, swipe, and search in our cars. While it’s pretty harmless to view Facebook on your BMW, what happens when we let our cars store all our personal information? Automakers, in partnership with big data firms like SAP, are trying to turn our vehicles into one-stop shopping centers. For example, on a future version of Audi MMI, you might be able to pay for gas or parking directly from the car. At that point, hackers worldwide will have every incentive to scan your onboard hard drive and anything else connected to your car, looking for credit cards, addresses, social security numbers, passwords, and other personal information.

“We hear about banks and retail stores [upgrading security] but not as much from the automotive industry,” says the SAE’s Pokrzywa. “We have to be ready.”

5. V2V and V2I networks are models for vehicle security.

Connected vehicle networks, known as vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure, eventually will become the street-level version of air-traffic control. Since a coordinated, multi-vehicle attack would be mayhem—think four-way green lights activating in your town’s busiest intersection—V2V engineers consider high security from the onset. In the nation’s largest V2V trial right in our Ann Arbor hometown, the University of Michigan has installed two-band radios that send each vehicle a security certificate that expires every five minutes. It’s similar to those used on encrypted web pages, except the car (or hacker) gets booted if the network can’t verify the signature. Also, the U of M’s system doesn’t use satellite, cellular, or any Internet-based signals to function (the radio frequency is close to what 5.9-GHz cordless phones use). At this stage, you’d need to physically break into a traffic signal box on the street and know a frustrated municipal employee working the controls in order to bug everyone’s car over V2V. It’s possible determined insiders could poison such a system. But for outsiders, the network wouldn’t be easy to break.

“It’s inherent,” Wallace says. “You can’t have a network without network security.”

    6. Automotive cybersecurity standards are coming.

    Automakers pledged last summer to share information on security threats and best practices. But it won’t be until the SAE releases J3061, “Guiding Principles on Cybersecurity for Automotive Cyber-Physical Systems,” that we’ll have one governing standard. Wallace proposes a few bullet points: Will this include repeated, over-the-air updates to ensure every single car gets patched with improved software? Will automakers take the lowest supplier bid when they could have spent more on better security? Will mechanics be able to easily screw up someone’s car by plugging in bad code? A new bill from Sen. Markey that would require automakers to “immediately detect, report, and stop” hacks in real-time could even push such industry standards into law. For the time being, the nation’s fleet is so old—the average age is 11 years—that most drivers may not be vulnerable to any serious hacking. Perhaps that ratty old Oldsmobile Alero has its fine points, after all.
