Specializzata nelle lunghe distanze, nel pattinaggio ha vinto tre ori olimpici e diciassette titoli mondiali e attualmente detiene il record mondiale nei 5000 e nei 10000 metri. Anche il fratello minore, Milan Sáblík, è un pattinatore di velocità.

Pratica anche il ciclismo su strada, dove ha vinto una medaglia di bronzo nella cronometro ai campionati europei e nove campionati cechi, tre in linea e sei a cronometro.

Carriera
Nel novembre 2005, a Salt Lake City, batte il record mondiale juniores dei 3000 m, con il tempo di 4'00"69. Alle Olimpiadi di Torino, nel 2006, si piazza al quarto posto nei 5000 metri. Nello stesso anno, a marzo, batte il record mondiale dei 10000 metri, migliorando di oltre 11 secondi il primato precedente.

Nel 2007 conquista il suo primo titolo internazionale, vincendo gli Europei di Collalbo, con il punteggio record (su piste all'aperto) di 162,954 punti. Stabilisce anche il record mondiale all'aperto nei 3000 e nei 5000 metri. Ai Mondiali di Salt Lake City vince l'oro nei 3000 e nei 5000 metri, stabilendo anche il record mondiale dei 5000 con il tempo di 6'45"61. Il 15 marzo 2007, a Calgary, diventa la prima volta a percorrere i 10000 metri in meno di 14 minuti, con il tempo di 13'48"33.

All'inizio della stagione 2007-2008, una caduta le provoca la rottura dell'omero e lo stiramento dei legamenti. Nonostante l'infortunio, si conferma nei 5000 metri ai Mondiali di Nagano. Nel 2009 vince la medaglia d'oro ai Mondiali completi di Hamar, piazzandosi al primo posto nei 3000 e nei 5000 metri; si confermerà l'anno dopo a Heerenveen. Sempre nel 2010, alle Olimpiadi di Vancouver, vince l'oro nei 3000 e nei 5000 metri e il bronzo nei 1500 metri.

Coca-Cola, China's Mengniu Dairy sign Olympics sponsorship deal worth record $3B: Report
By Thomas Barrabi Published June 24, 2019 SportsFOXBusiness
Coca-Cola 1Q earnings top estimates
FBN's Ashley Webster breaks down Coca-Cola's first-quarter results.
Coca-Cola and Chinese firm Mengniu Dairy on Monday announced a joint agreement to sponsor the Olympics through 2032 in a deal that is said to be worth a record $3 billion.
The agreement extends Coca-Cola's long-term sponsorship ties with the International Olympic Committee, which were set to expire after the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Coca-Cola's partnership with Mengniu on a top-line sponsorship also marks the first time that the IOC has combined non-alcoholic beverages and dairy products into a joint sponsorship category.

REDSKINS DENY OWNER DAN SNYDER SAILED YACHT TO CANNES TO FIND STADIUM SPONSOR
"This long-term agreement is another demonstration of the relevance and stability of the Olympic Games in these times of uncertainty," IOC President Thomas Bach said in a statement. "Having our longest-standing partner, Coca-Cola, an iconic American brand, together with a young Chinese company, Mengniu, joining hands under the roof of our Worldwide TOP Programme is a great example of the unifying power of the Olympic spirit."
Coca-Cola and Mengniu have jointly committed as much as $3 billion in the deal in terms of sponsorship rights and spending on media and advertising, the Financial Times reported, citing a source with knowledge of the negotiations. The sponsorship itself is reportedly worth $1.5 billion.
KO COCA-COLA COMPANY 52.18 +0.04 +0.08%
Coca-Cola declined to say whether the report about the deal's value was accurate. A joint press release said that the agreement, which spans six Olympic Games cycles and concludes in 2032, included "unprecedented investment and traditional and digital media to promote the Olympic values globally."
"We do not discuss the financial aspects of our sponsorship," a company spokesperson said.
Coca-Cola is the longest-running active sponsorship partner for the Olympics, with a relationship that dates back more than a century.
"We are honored and privileged to be a part of the Olympic Movement that makes it possible for athletes from all over the world to come together to represent their nations, pursue their dreams and be a part of history," Coca-Cola CEO and Chairman James Quincey said in a statement.
Mengniu is one of China's top producers of dairy products. The company's CEO, Jeffrey Lu, said the Olympics sponsorship deal is a "vital step in our international strategy."
"Membership of the TOP Programme will act as a catalyst for Mengniu to grow around the world," Lu said.

73-Year-Old Man Sacrifices Himself Saving Wife From Being Struck by Truck
Posted 6:19 PM, October 1, 2019, by Rowena Shaddox, Updated at 03:53PM, October 1, 2019
MCCLELLAN PARK -- A 73-year-old Army veteran died pushing his wife out of harm's way in a fatal hit-and-run crash.
The collision happened Tuesday morning at the intersection of Palm Street and Arnold Avenue at McClellan Park, the former Air Force base.
The hit-and-run driver's 2006 to 2011 silver Toyota Tacoma in a photo provided by the CHP.
California Highway Patrol officials said the couple was making their way to a dentist appointment when they crossed the street, which had no pedestrian crosswalk, and 2006 to 2011 silver Toyota Tacoma was headed straight for them.
"He saw the vehicle coming and he pushed her out of the way," said CHP Officer Mike Zerfas.
CHP officials said the man was able to knock his wife to safety but ended up taking the full brunt of the truck's impact. The pickup truck immediately took off after the collision.
The CHP now says the truck likely has right, front damage.
"This happened at 9 o'clock in the morning," Zerfas said. "There's sunlight out, traffic's moderate, there's really no obstructions and judging by the debris field, he had to be aware that he hit something."
Despite medical staff nearby performing CPR, the man was pronounced dead at the scene, all in view of his wife.
"Law enforcement chaplaincy was out here and they were with her for quite a while," said Zerfas
"Probably served in Vietnam like I did and then he dies in a freak accident like this from somebody disobeying the law. Sad," said Air Force veteran John Williams.
Many in the area said it has been a problem intersection for some time.
"I walk in this place all the time. There's no crosswalks," Williams said. "Crosswalks make the driver sometimes aware, they may stop, but if there's no crosswalk, they don't do it."
"Area's like a damn racetrack," said McClellan Worker Cassandra Flemister. "Something needs to be done. It really does."
Update - October 6, 2019:
On Saturday, October 5, CHP arrested 70-year-old William Nathaniel Beasley at around 9:35 a.m in connection with this case.
Beasley, a resident of Antelope, will be charged with felony hit-and-run and manslaughter said CHP. Beasley is being held at Sacramento County Jail. CHP said a silver 2006 Toyota Tacoma was seized as part of the arrest. The truck had damage on the right front and right side, according to CHP officials.

Open: GRAMMY Awards 2018 Tina Turner, Neil Diamond, Queen & More To Be Honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards
GRAMMY Awards 2018 Tina Turner, Neil Diamond, Queen & More To Be Honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards
By RAWDOGGTV on January 10, 2018
TINA TURNER,NEIL DIAMOND, HAL BLAINE, EMMYLOU HARRIS, THE METERS, QUEEN, AND LOUIS JORDAN TO BE HONORED WITH RECORDING ACADEMY LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
The Recording Academy announced its Special Merit Awards recipients today, and this year's Lifetime Achievement Award honorees are Hal Blaine, Neil Diamond, Emmylou Harris, Louis Jordan, the Meters, Queen, and Tina Turner. Bill Graham, Seymour Stein, and John Williams are Trustees Award honorees; and Tony Agnello and Richard Factor are the Technical GRAMMY Award recipients.
A special award presentation ceremony and concert celebrating the honorees will be held in summer 2018. Additional details regarding the ceremony will be announced in the coming weeks.
"This year's Special Merit Awards recipients are a prestigious group of diverse and influential creators who have crafted or contributed to some of the most distinctive recordings in music history," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of the Recording Academy.
"These exceptionally inspiring figures are being honored as legendary performers, creative architects, and technical visionaries. Their outstanding accomplishments and passion for their craft have created a timeless legacy."
The Lifetime Achievement Award celebrates performers who have made outstanding contributions of artistic significance to the field of recording, while the Trustees Award honors such contributions in areas other than performance. The Recording Academy's National Board of Trustees determines the honorees of both awards.
Technical GRAMMY Award recipients are voted on by the Academy's Producers & Engineers Wing Advisory Council and Chapter Committees, and are ratified by the Academy's Trustees. The award is presented to individuals and companies who have made contributions of outstanding technical significance to the recording industry.
About the Lifetime Achievement Award Honorees:
Starting his career in the 1950s, Hal Blaine is best known as the lead drummer and founder of the legendary Wrecking Crew. He has recorded with iconic artists such as Elvis Presley, the Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, and many more. He lent his artistry to Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" productions, creating one of rock and roll's most recognizable beats. However, Blaine's talent does not stop at the conventional drum kit. Some of his best-known songs include him drumming on Sparkletts water jugs for the Beach Boys' "Caroline, No" and dragging tire chains across a concrete floor for Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water." During his impressive career, Blaine has worked on nearly 6,000 tracks; of those, 350 have been Top 10 hits, and 40 have been No. 1s (including fellow honoree Neil Diamond's "Song Sung Blue"), and worked on six consecutive Record Of The Year GRAMMY-winning tracks between 1965 and 1970.
Throughout an illustrious and wide-ranging musical career, Neil Diamond has sold more than 130 million albums worldwide and has dominated the charts for more than five decades with 38 Top 40 singles and 16 Top 10 albums. Before becoming one of the most noted and successful recording artists in the world, Diamond's early recognition came as a songwriter. His recorded songs have become a part of the fabric of America's songbook with a wide range of international hits that include "Solitary Man," "Cherry, Cherry," "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon," "I'm A Believer," "Red Red Wine," "Holly Holy," 'Thank The Lord For The Night Time," "Sweet Caroline," "Kentucky Woman," "Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show," "Cracklin' Rosie," "I Am…I Said," "Song Sung Blue," "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" (with Barbra Streisand), "September Morn," and "Heartlight," among many others. Diamond has won a GRAMMY Award, a Golden Globe Award, the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award, and a Kennedy Center Honor, and has been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriter's Hall Of Fame. In 2009, he was honored as MusiCares® Person Of The Year.
Emmylou Harris' career has been evolving since the 1970s, encompassing pop, folk, country, and now, alternative. She has recorded with myriad artists such as Gram Parsons, Beck, Elvis Costello, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Roy Orbison, to name a few, as well as with Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton as part of supergroup Trio. Harris' distinctive voice has allowed her to cross musical boundaries and made her one of the most influential and admired women in contemporary country music. Few in pop or country music have achieved such honesty or revealed such maturity in their writing. Forty years into her career, Harris, a 13-time GRAMMY winner, keeps proving that she never stops looking ahead.
Louis Jordan enjoyed his greatest popularity from the late 1930s to the early 1950s as the King of the Jukebox. The American musician, songwriter, and bandleader helped pioneer the sound of rock and was dubbed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as the Father of Rhythm & Blues and the Grandfather of Rock and Roll. Jordan's talent, combined with his comedic flair, helped him shatter race barriers, achieving popularity with both black and white audiences. Throughout his lifetime, he was able to duet with some of the biggest artists of his day, including Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong.
The Meters—Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste, Art Neville, Cyril Neville, Leo Nocentelli, and George Porter Jr.—are considered by many to be the founding fathers of funk and, for more than 50 years, they have grooved their way around the globe. They have toured and performed with such artists as the Rolling Stones, Dr. John, Robert Palmer, Labelle, Earl King, Allen Toussaint, and Lee Dorsey. Their trademark sound of syncopated layered percussion intertwined with gritty grooves on guitar, bass, and organ, blends funk, blues, and dance grooves with a New Orleans vibe that is regarded as one of the most influential in music history. The Meters' unique place as a touchstone for countless artists across many genres and as one of the most sampled groups in all of hip-hop and pop music, have kept them relevant to contemporary audiences in a way that few groups can claim.
In a career spanning more than 40 years, Queen has amassed a staggering list of sales, awards, and hall of fame inductions that is second to none. Their impressive string of No. 1 albums and top-charting singles continue to put Queen in the Top 10 of all-time iTunes sales. The band has received multiple Ivor Novello Awards, an MTV Global Icon Award, and two recordings enshrined in the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame®—"Bohemeian Rhapsody" and "We Will Rock You"/"We Are The Champions," which also remain popular songs at sports events and arenas around the world. Recently, Queen became the first artist ever to sell more than 6 million copies of an album in the U.K. with their Greatest Hits album. Even with the tragic loss of their uniquely talented frontman Freddie Mercury*, Queen remain one of the most revered bands in rock and pop history, able to claim one of the most enduring song catalogs of all time. With their sterling song craft, virtuoso musicality, and colossal spectacle of their live performances, Queen—John Deacon, Brian May, Mercury, and Roger Taylor—captured hearts and conquered charts like no other band in history, a legacy that continues to live through the ongoing work and concert performances fronted by May and Taylor, presently joined for concert performances by the extraordinary American vocalist Adam Lambert.
Tina Turner has been the Queen of Rock and Roll since she started her musical career in the 1950s. She is well-known for her extravagant live performances and impressive raw voice. Globally, her concert ticket sales have broken records for every tour. Turner's albums have all consistently charted on the Billboard 200 and have sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. Her grandeur has been admired by many other prominent figures, including Beyoncé, Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, and David Bowie. Her determination and sheer talent has crystallized her as a household name around the globe.
About the Trustees Award Honorees:
At the Fillmore Auditorium, Fillmore West, Winterland, and Fillmore East, Bill Graham* created the modern rock concert. He discovered and managed artists such as Santana, and organized national tours for Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, and George Harrison. Having arrived in America as a 10-year-old Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany with not much more than the clothes on his back, Graham raised millions of dollars for charitable causes by staging Live Aid as well as many other benefit tours.
Seymour Stein's cutting-edge consciousness for the next wave in music can be traced all the way back to the late 1960s, when he began his career at Billboard magazine at the age of 15. Having founded Sire Records with producer Richard Gottehrer in 1966, Stein's eccentric taste in music combined with his knack for predicting what the next big thing in music will be, has continuously proven to be prosperous. His talent has earned him the title of Vice President of Warner Bros. Records along with being co-founder of Sire Records, a sub-division of Warner Music Group, and inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Some of Stein's most notable discoveries include Ramones, the Pretenders, Talking Heads, k.d. Lang, Barenaked Ladies, Echo & the Bunnymen, the Cult, the Cure, Tom Tom Club, Spacehog, Primal Scream, Seal, Madness, Madonna, Depeche Mode, the Smiths, Ice-T, and the Undertones.
John Williams is one of the most prolific and celebrated film composers of all time. He has won 23 GRAMMY Awards spanning the last 50 years, with various honors for composing/scoring, performance, and arranging. In addition to his GRAMMY Awards, Williams has won five Academy Awards, four Golden Globes, seven British Academy Film Awards, and four Emmys. His 1977 soundtrack to Star Wars was an Album Of The Year nominee and was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame in 2007. Some of Williams' most notable scores include Jaws, the Star Wars series, Superman: The Movie, the Indiana Jones series, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Home Alone, Hook, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, the first three Harry Potter films, Catch Me If You Can, Memoirs of a Geisha, War Horse, and Lincoln.
ABOUT THE TECHNICAL GRAMMY AWARD HONOREE:
Tony Agnello and Richard Factor, through their company Eventide, have influenced the way we make records for nearly 50 years, inventing and producing a wide variety of original audio effects devices, creating the first rack-mounted special effect processors for studio use, and making sophisticated studio processors available to musicians. Founded in 1971 in the basement of Sound Exchange studio on West 54th St. in New York City, Eventide invented the first tape machine autolocator for the Ampex MM1000 multitrack recorder, allowing the operator to precisely and automatically rewind the tape to a specific location at the press of a button—a feature soon standard equipment on every professional machine. Since then, they've created myriad products that have forever changed the recording industry, including the landmark H910 Harmonizer® effects processor, whose underlying technology forms the basis of all pitch-shifting and pitch-correction devices today. It allowed the use of delay and pitch effects separately and in combination, impacting the sound of records such as David Bowie's Low, Kraftwerk's Computer World, AC/DC's Back In Black, and Parliament-Funkadelic's "Aqua Boogie."

Open: 444 Meaning Universal Frequency Vibration
444 Meaning Universal Frequency Vibration
By RAWDOGGTV on August 2, 2017
444 The spiritual meaning of 4:44 is one of many repetitive numbers designed to get your attention and serve as a
directional message from the universal mind.
The universe will usually send you the number 444 when you feel unsure or conflicted. The Universe will use various signs and/or symbols to communicate with you: Animals, street lights going off or on, finding dimes or quarters, repetative verbal messages …..
444 carries a powerful message from the universe: It means your guides are by your side to protect and guide you and offer the very best for you.
When the universe is trying to communicate with you, you will see a specific number in a variety of places, usually for at least a few days. At first, it might seem coincidental; after a while, the number vibration will be impossible to ignore.
444 meaning itself refers to an angelic Frquency surrounding you and taking comfort in the protection afforded you from the angels. Your angels are always near you, all you have to do is reach out to them via thought or silent prayer. You just may not get the answer in the form you expect nor when you expect it, but it will always come on time
Numbers (signs/symbols) are a part of the universal language | Ancient Knowledge, Consciousness, Sacred Geometry.
Symbolism, is a universal language; whereby all beings can communicate.

Free Market Cryptocurrencies -Jeff Berwick
What is cryptocurrency? Cryptocurrency is a form of digital money that is designed to be secure and, in many cases, anonymous.
It is a currency associated with the internet that uses cryptography, the process of converting legible information into an almost uncrackable code, to track purchases and transfers.
Cryptography was born out of the need for secure communication in the Second World War. It has evolved in the digital era with elements of mathematical theory and computer science to become a way to secure communications, information and money online.

Proceeds from the 28th annual benefit gala—to be held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City during GRAMMY® Week two nights prior to the 60th Annual GRAMMY Awards®—will provide essential support for MusiCares (www.musicares.org), which ensures music people have a place to turn in times of financial, medical, and personal need. The evening's tribute chairs are Shelli and Irving Azoff, Dorothy and Martin Bandier, Kristin and James Dolan, and Anna Chapman and Ronald Perelman.
Fleetwood Mac are being honored as the 2018 MusiCares Person of the Year in recognition of their significant creative accomplishments and their longtime support of a number of charitable causes, including MusiCares, the premier safety net of critical resources for the music industry.
"Our 2018 MusiCares Person of the Year tribute is a celebration of firsts—the first time our annual signature gala will be held in New York City in 15 years, and the first time in the benefit's history that we will honor a band," said Portnow. "This excitement is only matched by the genuine thrill and privilege of paying tribute to Fleetwood Mac, a legendary and influential group of artists whose music has provided the soundtrack for music lovers around the world."
"It's a tremendous honor to be the first band to receive the MusiCares Person of the Year award," said Mick Fleetwood on behalf of Fleetwood Mac. "Independently and together, we all set off on a journey to spend our lives as artists, songwriters, and musicians. None of us did it alone and there were plenty of helping hands along the way, so we applaud and celebrate MusiCares' guiding principles of giving musicians a helping hand and a place to turn in times of need. We are very appreciative of this recognition."
As one of the best-selling bands of all time, Fleetwood Mac have sold more than 100 million records worldwide and established their place in rock and roll music history. Having created a distinctive sound that endures today, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Their 1977 album Rumours remains one of the best-selling albums of all time. In 2015, the band's classic and most successful line up—comprising Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Stevie Nicks—reunited for the first time since 1998 for the On With The Show tour. The tour sold out arenas across the globe and showcased classic hit songs from Fleetwood Mac's career such as "The Chain," "Go Your Own Way," "Dreams," "Don't Stop," "Big Love," "Little Lies," and "Rhiannon," among others.
The MusiCares Person of the Year tribute ceremony is one of the most prestigious events held during GRAMMY Week and was last held in New York City in 2003. The celebration culminates with the 60th Annual GRAMMY Awards at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, Jan. 28, 2018. The telecast will be broadcast live on the CBS Television Network at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
Established in 1989 by the Recording Academy, the MusiCares Foundation offers health and human services and programs to members of the music community, including emergency financial assistance for basic living expenses such as rent, utilities, and car payments; medical expenses, including doctor, dentist and hospital bills; psychotherapy; and treatment for HIV/AIDS, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, hepatitis C, and other critical illnesses. MusiCares offers nationwide educational workshops covering a variety of subjects, including financial, legal, medical, and substance abuse issues, and programs in collaboration with health care professionals that provide services such as flu shots, hearing tests and medical/dental screening.
The MusiCares MAP Fund® provides access to addiction recovery treatment and sober living resources for members of the music community. Staffed by qualified chemical dependency and intervention specialists, MusiCares offers Safe Harbor Room® support, sponsored in part by the Bohemian Foundation, to provide a network to those in recovery while they are participating in the production of televised music shows and other major music events. MusiCares holds weekly addiction support groups for people to discuss how to best cope with the issues surrounding the recovery process.

Hosting an elegant Easter brunch or spring soiree? I've got the perfect floral party favors for you! They're DIY mini tulip bouquets, and they're ridiculously easy to make! I found some Galentine's Day-inspired mini spray rose bouquets on Pinterest, and I figured it'd be fun and festive to do the same with seasonal flowers for Easter. I chose tulips, since they have the cleanest foliage and don't need any filler flowers to make a full bouquet. Not only do they make great Easter party favors, they also function as elegant place cards for festive country spring tablescapes, too!
All you need to make mini tulip bouquets is some pretty pastel tissue paper (I found mine on Amazon), 2-3 dozen fresh tulips, twine, and scissors. Also, depending on how long the function is, you may want to invest in some floral water vials.
Any pastel tissue paper will do– but how gosh darn pretty is this watercolor tissue paper? Each sheet is 15″ x 20," so it's perfect for crafting.
Before you start snipping stems, decide on a size and theme for each spring tulip bouquet. I chose multicolored tulips in sets of three. I also decided to keep the stems about five inches long, which worked perfectly.
Then, I folded the tissue paper in half into a triangular shape. I folded the bottom a few times to better fit the bouquet and then arranged the tulips around the apex.
Next, fold the bottom of the tissue paper around the tulip stems and gently roll up the sides one by one. The wrapping process should be similar to a Chipotle burrito. Secure either with ribbon, string, or natural twine.
I also thought it'd be fun to mix up the tissue paper, so I incorporated two distinct patterns into my mini spring tulip bouquets.
Repeat for every guest attending your event– and voila! You're done!
I also love the idea of using mini bouquets as place cards, as well. Simply attach a name card to your spring tulip bouquets and place on top of a pastel napkin and plate. It looks super cute and festive, especially if you're going for a more minimalistic, country spring decor motif.
Is anyone else hosting brunch this Easter Sunday? Even though it's a higher stakes meal (right up there with Thanksgiving in my family!), my fool-proof strategy has always been to keep guests entertained– and hydrated. Give this delicious white peach spring sangria a try! Oh, and if you're not sure what to wear, be sure to check out this all white Easter brunch outfit idea! Happy hosting, y'all!

"The challengers will erase the middle market", says Head of Information Security at major European bank. The fickle fashions of the finance world
Best Practice, Finance, Payments September 5, 2018June 12, 2019 Amanda Oon
It's entering A/W season, and the finance world is pretty in pink, as Coral-card challenger bank Monzo is set to become the latest UK technology 'unicorn', lining up new finance that pushes its valuation to over £1 billion. The £150m of investor funding is the latest in a winning streak for the London-based fintech platform since they raised their first million in just 96 seconds three years ago.
Both the high street and consumers have been keeping their eye on the rise and rise of these digital disruptors, flooding the market in various shades of bubble-gum. And according to the Head of Information Security at a large European bank, there is a real cause for concern.
Monzo and its coral cards have become the latest UK tech unicorn
"I see a future where the challengers have completely taken over the consumer market", he predicts. "They can innovate at a rate that bricks and mortar just can't. A few of the largest traditional banks will survive…the Barclays, the HSBC's…and do mostly B2B business. The middle market will just completely disappear".
There's a number of striking accessories that have given challengers their winning edge. Particularly popular amongst millennials, their smartphone-based interface and attractive rates have won over customers in their millions. But their pièce de résistance? An upper hand in security and
Challengers like Monzo and Starling are keen to use technology to distance themselves from the traditional banks
trust. Legacy technologies and the risk averse nature of many conventional banks has left their innovation strategy looking pretty last season, as Andy Cory, Head of Identity Management at digital transformation company KCOM is quick to point out.
"Banking is traditionally very slow to adopt new tech and thinking… (they)….carry a great deal of momentum and changing their IT direction is like repointing a supertanker".
Cumbersome operations can lead to IT projects being "rushed for the sake of customer convenience over security". On the other hand, the newer and more flexible core technologies of the challenger banks mean that, according to Cory, they can bypass this "convenience versus security debate" and focus on the "altogether 'easier' currency – online identity". A 2018 Edelman Global Trust Barometer rated technology the most trustworthy sector at 75% while financial services flopped at 54%. Tellingly, Monzo keep their distance from the traditional banking label, stating "We're not a bank. We are a tech company based in Hackney. That means we do things a little differently."
Some traditional banks are reinventing their look. Forbes reveals RBS is "feverishly building a new mobile-only bank" and has set internal goalposts to switch 1 million of its existing NatWest customers onto its mobile-only offering. They say if you can't beat 'em, join 'em…
Digitalisation may be the latest trend, but a major UK bank admits that traditional threats like BEC and social media engineering are still tripping them up. If the high street wants to stay in style its banks need to up their security game and keep the trust of their clients. Fashion or finance, shoppers are fickle, and they're not careful, it may soon be the end of the line for the bricks and mortar banks.

Federal Transportation Agency Investigates Fiery Church Van Crash That Killed Seven
Joshua Gill Religion Reporter
The federal agency that investigates major automobile accidents is launching an investigation into the Florida church van crash that killed five children and two drivers.
The National Transportation Safety Board announced the investigation Wednesday, saying that a team of eight will travel to Gainesville, Florida, and coordinate with the Florida Highway Patrol to investigate the Jan. 3 crash, The Associated Press reported. The NTSB made a point of noting that the government shutdown prevented the agency from investigating sooner. (RELATED: Three Killed In Medical Helicopter Crash)
NTSB is sending an eight-member team to conduct a safety
investigation of the highway crash that killed seven and injured eight in
Gainesville, FL, on January 3, 2019, during the partial government shutdown.
— NTSB_Newsroom (@NTSB_Newsroom) January 30, 2019
Gov shutdown prevented NTSB from sending investigators toGainesville immediately following crash. NTSB is coordinating with Florida HwyPatrol, which opened its investigation immediately following the crash. 2/3
FHP's excellent work will greatly assist NTSB's safety investigation while they
continue their police investigation. 3/3
The crash, which killed a total of seven people and injured eight others, occurred when a car and a tractor-trailer collided while heading north on Interstate 75.

The two vehicles crashed through a guardrail and smashed into the van and a semitrailer. A fifth vehicle, unable to avoid the pileup, crashed into people who were thrown from the van. The van belonged to a Pentecostal church group that was traveling from Marksville, Louisiana, to Disney World.

The District of Columbia is tied with Mississippi, at 62 percent for the highest rate of unintended pregnancies in the nation. Unplanned births can be costly and significantly impact those who may already be struggling financially. We also see disparities by ward. Unintended and teen pregnancy rates have dropped in every ward since 2002 except in Wards 5, 7, and 8.
This bill will expand access to contraceptives, and in so doing, tackle the issue of unintended pregnancies head-on by allowing pharmacists to dispense certain forms of contraceptives directly, without a prescription.
Currently, women must obtain an annual prescription from a physician for most self-administered hormonal contraceptives. This requirement burdens women who do not have a primary care physician or for whom access to a physician is irregular or inconvenient. It also prioritizes exclusively physician-based care at a time when many women rely on team-based healthcare in community settings.
Women who are unable to regularly obtain self-administered hormonal contraceptives from a physician may turn to other, less reliable forms or worse yet, no contraception at all.
This bill would allow licensed pharmacists to dispense self-administered hormonal contraceptives – including pills and patches – without a prescription if certified by the Board of Pharmacy and according to a written protocol established by the Boards of Pharmacy and Medicine. The patient would first be screened for risk factors based on eligibility criteria promulgated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and must be referred to a primary care provider or clinic after dispensing or if the use is not recommended. The bill requires regulations to be issued by the Boards by October 1, 2017.
The bill complements a process already in development through the Department of Health to allow for collaborative practice agreements whereby pharmacists work with physicians to dispense similarly low-risk medicines and vaccinations.
A number of other jurisdictions are moving in a similar direction. California, Washington, and Oregon now allow for pharmacist-dispensed self-administered hormonal contraceptives, and legislation is pending in South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, and Hawaii.
