Movado stock sinks after earnings and sales fall short
Movado Group Inc. shares sank 20% in Tuesday premarket trading after the watch company reported third-quarter earnings and sales that missed estimates. Net income totaled $17.8 million, or 76 cents per share, down from $26.9 million, or $1.14 per share, last year. Adjusted EPS of 82 cents fell well below the FactSet outlook for $1.03. Sales of $205.6 million were down from $208.9 million last year and below the $220.0 million FactSet guidance. "This year we made the strategic decision to increase marketing investments to drive sales across our powerful portfolio of watch brands," said Efraim Grinberg, chief executive of the company, in a statement. "While this effort led to market share gains, we fell short of our sales plan due to the category performing below our expectations as challenges intensified within the watch category and retail landscape, which combined with our increased marketing expenditures, impacted our results." Movado now expects fiscal year sales to be in the range of $690 million to $700 million, EPS of $1.55 to $1.70. The FactSet outlook is for sales of $729 million and EPS of $2.27. Movado stock has fallen 33.8% over the past year while the S&P 500 index is up 17.2% for the period.

Whether you call it a sub, hero, hoagie, or a grinder, everyone loves a good sandwich. That being said, a famous North Jersey sub shop is heading South.
Lenny and John's Subs has announced it is heading South to open a shop here in Ocean County. In a recent Sandpaper article, the North Jersey sub chain announced it is going to open a store this summer in Beach Haven. The new shop will be located in a building that once was home to the Juice House and Black Dog Café.
Lenny and John's are known for their famous Tuna Salad Sub which is a fan favorite.
The sub shop hopes to open in Ocean County in time for Memorial Day Weekend.
What's your favorite sub? I love chicken salad, lettuce, tomato, onion, peppers with Pepper-Jack Cheese.

Building research capacity for a disaster-resilient Australia
13 Oct 2020|Paul Barnes
SHARE Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to LinkedIn Share to Email
With ImagesWithout Images
Australia's threat landscape has changed dramatically over the past 12 months—starting with last summer's cataclysmic bushfires, followed by the appearance of Covid-19 and its cascading impacts on society and the economy, and now the expected arrival of La Niña weather patterns bringing increased rainfall and the onset of an early monsoon season in the tropics as well as increased cyclonic activity.
While current conditions are very different to those leading up to last year's crises, state, territory and federal agencies and local governments have sustained their efforts over the winter period to mitigate risk factors critical to the summer ahead. A viable question, however, is what does Australia need to emphasise now to position itself to better cope with the conditions of our near future?
Some steps towards answering that question have been taken by the initiation of the Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements. The royal commission published a set of interim observations on 31 August providing some insight into the direction of its thinking. These observations cover a selection of issues ranging from cultural burning practices and existing national natural disaster arrangements (including constitutional issues) to community health impacts and the role of local government.
A few days later, on 4 September, counsel assisting the royal commission released a set of draft propositions covering aspects of the terms of reference for the commission, informed by submissions and evidence supplied since hearings began in May this year.
While each document addresses several important elements, both focus on supporting increased research to enhance Australia's resilience to natural hazards and reduce disaster risk, aligned to national research priorities.
A key driver of that research capacity is the new national disaster research centre, announced by the government on 23 July with a commitment of $88.1 million over 10 years. The centre will be 'co-funded by partners from across Australia, including state and territory governments and emergency service agencies, universities and industry partners'. It is expected to be collaborative on a national scale.
Collaboration within Australia's higher education system on disaster resilience outcomes is obviously of benefit to all, but a question of some interest is how to structure a collective effort. Here are two ideas to support this important outcome.
The first focuses on intra-university teaching and research collaboration. In August 2011, the Innovative Research Universities (IRU) group published a brochure titled 'Disaster resilience: preparing, responding and adapting'. It outlined a variety of teaching areas and research strengths among its members that showcased different yet complementary expertise across a range of disaster management and resilience knowledge areas.
A logical extension of the intent of the IRU group could have been the establishment of a consortium to combine the teaching and research expertise of the member universities. Such a step could have led to unique learning opportunities by allowing students to combine units from different institutions, while cross-registered, and receive full credit for towards their final qualification.
Access to these types of opportunities would also allow undergraduate and postgraduate students to complete modularised units of study that match their professional development needs: some in their home university and others with partner institutions. In the case of disaster management agencies, in-service students could have combined units of study that meet institution-specific needs.
Further collaboration among consortium partners for joint supervision of higher degree research students would have required little additional effort given the processes already used in the Cotutelle model common in many Australian universities for linking with international universities on joint supervision of local PhD candidates.
Alliances like the IRU group's are not uncommon among Australian universities. The NUW Alliance for example, comprising the University of Newcastle, the University of New South Wales and the University of Wollongong, cooperates on shared strategic priorities in research and teaching that each institution might not be able to pursue on its own.
The second idea entails establishing or reinvigorating applied research centres or institutes to examine natural hazards and disaster resilience within universities and act as enablers of innovative thinking in private-sector and public-sector institutions active in disaster management. Australian universities have a long history of supporting research groups in these areas. Notable among those currently active are the Torrens Resilience Institute at Flinders University, the Australian National University's Disaster Risk Science Institute, the Centre for Disaster Management and Public Safety at the University of Melbourne, and Monash University's Disaster Resilience Initiative. They, like those that came before, play important facilitation roles between academia's 'hallowed halls' and the real world.
Creating wider opportunities to educate new cohorts of disaster management professionals and to generate new and easily utilised knowledge at both regional and national levels is critical. Australia can't afford to be in a position in which new entrants to the professions active in emergency and disaster management and resilience building must wait to learn real-world skills and develop insight on the job. Neither can we afford to leave emergency and disaster management agencies reliant on underdeveloped internal research capabilities, especially as research and development may not be core business.
The royal commission's advice on our national research needs can be supported through the creation (where needed) of university-based research and collaboration centres operating in close coordination with state-based disaster management agencies. In addition, we need to encourage the development of a consortium of universities collaborating on teaching core and evolving skills for enhancing disaster resilience. Such programs should be offered at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels, using the established Cotutelle model (where feasible) for domestic co-supervision of higher degree research candidates across consortium members.
The intellectual capability for these innovations exists already in our universities. We need to apply our productive higher education sector to support the new all-hazards, all-threats crisis-readiness and response repertoire required for the near future and beyond. Australia needs a networked consortium of teaching universities—including regional research centres—supporting our emergency and disaster management needs across the broad spectrum of existential threats we face.

People have accused Covington Catholic students of wearing blackface at a 2012 basketball game, but alumni say it was an innocent 'blackout' cheer theme
via @MarcusHWeber on Twitter
An old YouTube video resurfaced on social media over the weekend and sparked accusations of racism against Covington Catholic High School students, who are at the center of a controversy over a confrontation the group had with a Native American activist and a group of Black Hebrew Israelites.
A video of the school's student section, the "Colonel Crazies," shows several students with their faces, chests, and arms covered in black paint.
While the same video compilation shows students covered in other paint colours for other themes, the black paint resembles the racist blackface historically worn in productions mocking black people.
An old YouTube video that shows Covington Catholic High School students wearing black paint at a basketball game resurfaced over the weekend and sparked controversy among social-media users condemning the paint as blackface.
The "Colonel Crazies Compilation Video" depicts students in the crowd at basketball games with their faces, chests, and arms fully covered in black paint following along with school chants and motions.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSiE1H4JKQE?start=6
The video, which was reportedly uploaded by the school in 2012 before being removed sometime over the weekend, also shows students covered in other paint colours, including blue and white, at events listed as "Braveheart March" and "White Out."
One Twitter user posted a link to the compilation video alongside a picture from a game where all students in frame are dressed in black and four are covered in black paint, which the user called "blackface."
The front few rows of students pictured are gathered around a player from the opposing team who appears to be black and who the tweet says was among those "verbally abused."
VIDEO: https://t.co/pFgrJA1N0Q From :06 to 1:06 you can see a teacher or coach of #CovingtonCatholic leading the teens in a chant– several of the Covington students are in blackface. At this game, black players on the opposing team were verbally abused. pic.twitter.com/gqyNRUjYXD

The video calls to mind student sections that cheer along collegiate basketball teams, including Duke University's "Cameron Crazies," Texas A&M's "12th Man," and two Florida State University student fans who won attention in 2014 for covering themselves in head-to-toe glitter paint in the team's colours.
However, the images of "Colonel Crazies" students in black paint resemble racist characterizations of black people in blackface productions historically put on by white people.
Twitter users who said they're Covington Catholic alumni denied the accusations of racism and said the paint was common at games and followed a colour theme.
Correction. I graduated in 2011. We also played them our first game. My mistake. Still. This is me in my senior year. We did blackout my final game of regionals. pic.twitter.com/HHVByDoEVe

Another purported alumnus said the Covington Catholic cheering section displayed the same behaviour and dress depicted in the videos and pictures shared on social media against all teams, "no matter the race or ethnicity."
Lmaoooo. I was at this game SEVEN YEARS AGO. SEVEN! I'm shown in the background of this image. ITS CALLED A BLACKOUT THEME. WE HAD SCHOOL SPIRIT. WE DO THIS TO EVERY SCHOOL NO MATTER THE RACE OR ETHNICITY. Stop trying to force a fake story to drive your false narrative. https://t.co/9CRZZFxpeW

The school came into the spotlight after a video went viral showing a group of its students in a confrontation with a Native American activist in Washington, DC, on Friday.
Many condemned the students' behaviour in the video as racist, though extended footage released Sunday and a statement from the student at the center of the confrontation, Nick Sandmann, have added context to the incident.
Sandmann said that he and the other Covington Catholic students, who were in DC for the annual anti-abortion rally March for Life, were first targeted by a group of Black Hebrew Israelites, who launched insults and slurs at the students.
The Native American activist, Nathan Phillips, said in a later interview that he inserted himself in "a dangerous situation" in an attempt to diffuse tensions among the groups. Students quickly gathered around him and sang in a manner many on social media cast as mocking upon the video's original circulation.
The school at the center of the controversy surrounding the viral video of a confrontation between students and a Native American protester closed Tuesday over safety concerns and threats

Q: GameKit presenting authentication view controller automatically instead of waiting for me to present it According to Apple's documentation, you should set GKLocalPlayer.local.authenticateHandler, once at app launch, with a closure that accepts a viewController and an error. And if the viewController is not nil, you should save it and present it to the user at the appropriate time.
I copy/pasted their example to my own app, and the behavior I see is completely different.
Instead of giving me a view controller to present later, immediately after setting the closure, the standard Game Center UI is presented. At this point my closure is not yet called. Then, after either logging in or tapping "Cancel", the Game Center UI is dismissed. At this point the closure is called. error correctly reflects whether the user logged in. But in either case viewController is always nil.
If I restart the app after tapping "Cancel", the system seems to remember that I cancelled. Then the UI is not presented, and the closure is called with viewController still being nil and error being non-nil.
This behavior is undesirable to me for a couple reasons:

*

*I would like to set this closure on app launch, but I don't want the UI to present right away (like Apple suggests in its docs).

*If a user declined to log in and then wants to do something that requires logging in, I would like to present the saved view controller in-app, rather than showing an alert telling them to go to Settings (which is the most I can do at the moment, AFAIK).

For context, I am setting the closure in a top-level SwiftUI view like this:
struct ActiveGamesView: View {
  @State private var isPresentingAuth = false
  @State private var gameCenterAuthVC: UIViewController?
  @State private var gameCenterEnabled = false
  @State private var isMultiplayerGamingRestricted = true
  @State private var isPersonalizedCommunicationRestricted = true

  var body: some View {
    NavigationView {
      VStack {
        Spacer()
        NavigationLink(destination: Text("This is the online play area")) {
          Text("Play Online")
        }
      }
    }
    .onAppear() {
      authenticateGameCenter()
    }
    .fullScreenCover(isPresented: $isPresentingAuth) {
      GameCenterAuthView(underlyingViewController: gameCenterAuthVC!)
      // This is a UIViewControllerRepresentable that just presents gameCenterAuthVC.
    }
  }

  private func authenticateGameCenter() {
    gameCenterAuthVC = viewController
    isPresentingAuth = viewController != nil
    gameCenterEnabled = error == nil
    isMultiplayerGamingRestricted = GKLocalPlayer.local.isMultiplayerGamingRestricted
    isPersonalizedCommunicationRestricted = GKLocalPlayer.local.isPersonalizedCommunicationRestricted
  }
}

As expected given the current unexpected behavior, my fullScreenCover closure never gets called, so my saved gameCenterAuthVC never gets presented.
My question is: is this auto-presenting UI normal, and Apple just didn't update their docs? Or am I doing something wrong?

A: yes i've also thought that the apple docs are confusing on this point ("Present the view controller so the player can sign in.") i don't think you need to (or can?) "capture" the viewController and save it for later. so when/if you want to log in to Game Center you call the following
GKLocalPlayer.local.authenticateHandler = { viewController, error in
}

this need not happen at app launch. and the authenticateHandler closure can be empty.

Q: Amazon S3 object restore from GLACIER not working with Python boto3 Trying to restore an Amazon S3 object from GLACIER with the code below.
import boto3

s3 = boto3.resource('s3', verify=False)

bucket_name = r"my-source-bucket"
bucket = s3.Bucket(bucket_name)
key ="glacier_file2.txt"

try:
    bucket.meta.client.restore_object(Bucket=bucket_name, Key=key, RestoreRequest={'Days': 1, 'GlacierJobParameters': {'Tier': 'Expedited'}})
except Exception as e:
    print({"Problem Restoring": str(e)})

The code submits successfully, however the object still shows as in GLACIER in the AWS console as well as when I query it with boto3 even days later. If I run the following code I see it still shows GLACIER.
key = s3.Object(bucket_name,key)
print (key.storage_class)
print (key.restore)

>>>>GLACIER
>>>>ongoing-request="false", expiry-date="Sun, 19 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMT"

When I try to do this same thing in the AWS console, I see that it says it's both in GLACIER AND restore is complete?

Does anyone have any insight? After restoring, I'm actually able to download the file, which tells me it's not actually in GLACIER, despite saying it is in the browser, and also in boto3. Is something wrong with how the storage class is being reported after a restore occurs?
edit I should point out I'm doing an expedited restore, which only takes a few minutes.

A: After doing a little more research, it appears that a "restore" is not what one would expect. Once an object goes to GLACIER there is no going back, other than "temporarily" restoring it (like I've done above) and then overwriting it. For example, I was able to run this command after restoring glacier_file2.txt
aws s3 cp s3://my-source-bucket/glacier_file2.txt s3://my-source-bucket/glacier_file2.txt --force-glacier-transfer --storage-class STANDARD

https://newbedev.com/how-do-i-restore-from-aws-glacier-back-to-s3-permanently
This would not work if I had not triggered the temporary GLACIER restore.

A: When restored, S3 will create a temporary copy of the object that is available to access for the specified duration. This is what you were seeing when you queried your request: it was finished (ongoing-request="false") and the requested duration was 1 day which is the expiry date (expiry-date="Sun, 19 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMT").
