Q: Multiple Root accounts in single AWS organization: IAM admin can't see all EC2 instances in specified region This question may seem noobish, but I am pulling my hair out with our AWS organization. We have 3 separate root accounts connected in a single organization with IAM accounts and policies. We can only see instances from the default root account in the EC2 list (yes I am looking in the correct region). We have shared full account access across all of the others accounts and accepted the invitations. Our billing works perfectly, and funnels from our main root account (and I can see billing of the other separate accounts fine). Even our highest level of admin (literally a grant permission to everything) cannot see instances launched from one of the separate root accounts.
Our goal is our admin group should see EC2 instances from all 3 root accounts in the organization without switching accounts or credentials.
I know this has to be possible, but I have spent at least 2 hours and have not gotten far. Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

A: There are some terminology issues here. There are no root accounts or main root accounts in AWS Organizations. There is one management AWS account and there are zero or more member AWS accounts.
The term root refers to an AWS Organizations construct within the management account that is the parent container for all of the member accounts in your organization. See AWS Organizations Terminology and Concepts for more.
There are two ways to 'join' a member account to an organization:

*

*an admin in the management account creates a new member account

*an admin in the management account invites an existing account to become a member

If you use option #1, administrative control over the member account is automatically provided for you through an auto-created IAM role called OrganizationAccountAccessRole that you can use to grant users in the management account administrator access to the created member account.
If you use option #2,  you do not automatically have full administrator control over the member account. If you want the management account to have full administrative control over an invited member account, you must create the OrganizationAccountAccessRole IAM role in the member account and grant permission to the management account to assume the role. To configure this, after the invited account becomes a member, follow the steps in Creating the OrganizationAccountAccessRole in an Invited Member Account.

A: @jarmod's answer provides a good overview of the terminology. I don't think it addresses your visibility problem.
Your assumptions appears to be that the master account of the organization should be able to directly see all resources of all accounts within the organization in its AWS console or via the API. That's not correct.
The resources in the accounts are generally still separated (allthough some things can be shared, but that's another matter), but you can change into these accounts by assuming a role in the accounts and then you're able to see the resources - this is what @jarmod is describing. After you changed into the accounts, you'll be able to see all resources within that respective account.
To learn more about organizations and their capabilities, here are some helpful links:

*

*Documentation on Managing Access Permissions for Your AWS Organization

*Services that can be used in conjunction with organizations
Resources within an AWS Account logically belong to that account and not to its organization.

Upon request, my wife and I gave one of our daughters a roll of sticky tape for her recent birthday. We figured she would enjoy using it with the wrapping paper she also asked for. Turns out she had grander plans and constructed a matching pair of somewhat fluid impervious DIY shoes.
This certainly took me by surprise. However it is just this 'thinking-outside-of-the-box' attitude that we at The Dirt Effect enjoy seeing applied to life. Anyhow she asked me if I could put it on the internet so the whole world could see her new shoes. I'd love to hear from anyone else who has had a crack at building their own shoes.

Harbaugh was arrested Thursday on child pornography charges in Monroe County. He was released on Thursday night after posting 10 percent of $100,000 bail, or $10,000. At the time of his arrest, Harbaugh was free after posting $5,000 or 10 percent of $50,000 bail on the Perry County charges.
On Saturday, Circuit Judge Daniel Emgee raised Harbaugh's bail to $500,000 and he was re-arrested. Jeff Hammel, Harbaugh's attorney, filed a motion to reduce the bond before Kolker, the presiding judge in the case. Hammel noted that Harbaugh was not likely a flight risk and he was entitled to bond. Hammel also told the judge that Harbaugh could be placed on home confinement. Harbaugh's mother, who attended the hearing, was disabled, Hammel noted, and he assisted her around the home.
Kolker denied the request to lower the bail, noting one of the conditions of the Perry County bond was that Harbaugh could not violate the law.
State records showed that Harbaugh applied for and received a permanent employee registration card in 2010. The license which is issued by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, allows someone to work as an unarmed employee of licensed private detective, private alarm contractor, private security force or locksmith in Illinois. Harbaugh did not renew his license in 2012.
Monroe County Sheriff Neal Rohlfing asked parents of children who may have had recent contact with Harbaugh to call the sheriff's department at 618-939-8651.

In today's world, road safety is more important than ever. With an increasing population in the United States, the roads have only grown more crowded. Heavier traffic leads to a higher percentage and likelihood of accidents occurring. Around the world, more than 1.3 million people die every year in a car crash while another 50 million people are injured or disabled from crashes. In fact, car crashes are the 9th leading cause of death in the world. How can we reduce these numbers? Well, road safety falls in the hands of both state and federal leaders, as well as the citizens. It doesn't matter how many rules are laid out, if people ignore them, consequences ensue.
Most road accidents are caused by human error; although, sometimes unmaintained roads and horrible weather conditions lead to accidents, as well. Here are some main factors that lead to traffic accidents: drunk driving, tiredness, speeding, road rage, failure to look or judge another car's speed properly, losing control of the vehicle, tailgating, distraction, carelessness, and inexperience.
How can crashes and accidents be prevented? Well, the government, non-governmental organizations, civilians, and more need to start taking action. More awareness of speed limits, alcohol limitations, seat-belt usage, child restraints, texting, and construction zones needs to occur. New policies need to be put in place to create safer streets, and older (but good) policies need to be enforced harder for them to take proper effect. Vehicles need to continue to evolve to be safe modes of transportation for not only the driver, but for pedestrians and cyclists, as well.
In order to lower the number of accidents, officials need to assess current problems with current laws, rules, and systems to determine why accidents keep occurring. A new and improved road safety strategy can then be put in place, which will have set actions to help prevent crashes from happening.
If nothing is done, the Association for Safe International predicts that traffic injuries will jump to the fifth leading cause of death by 2030 in the world.
As you can see, road safety is extremely important. Thousands upon thousands die each year from a car accident in America. This number can go down, and one way is to properly abide by traffic signs and traffic devices. If you're looking to purchase a new road sign or cone, barricade, or any other road safety device, check out the products here from Parking & Safety supply or give us a call at 239-464-6121.

Q: background thread how to update UI periodically How to run background thread correctly or run timer to update UI every 1 second? I mean when a activity is paused thread should be paused, when activity resumed thread or timer should be resumed and every second data must be updated on UI.

A: You can use HandlerThread class to create the thread, like below:
HandlerThread handlerThread = new HandlerThread("MyHandler");
handlerThread.start();
Looper looper = handlerThread.getLooper();
Handler handler = new Handler(looper);

After that, launch your runnable this way:
  handler.postDelayed(() -> {
            // runnable code here

            // call again thread after 1000 millis
            handler.postDelayed(this, 1000);
        }, 1000);

HandlerThread class, as every class in java, inherits from Object class that has wait() method. If you check the documentation, it says "Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object."
You should pause the thread by calling handlerThread.wait() according to your activity lifecyle, for example inside onPause() method. Remember to call notify() on the same thread instance when your activity is resumed, typically inside onResume() method.
Call handler.removeCallbacks when you're done :)

Visit our contact page
JERSEY, Channel Islands, Jan. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quotient Limited (NASDAQ: QTNT) (Quotient or the Company), a commercial-stage diagnostics company, today provided internal performance evaluation data for its extended immunohematology (IH) microarray, and announced the commencement of the European field trial for its initial Serological Disease Screening (SDS) microarray. The Company also disclosed continued strong top line growth in its core liquid reagent business for the quarter and for the nine months ended December 31, 2018.
"I am very pleased to report the progress which we have been able to make. We are well positioned with an ISO certified MosaiQ manufacturing system, a CE marked MosaiQ instrument and the resources required to bring a commercializable MosaiQ testing menu to the transfusion diagnostics market. The Quotient team continues to operate well to achieve the targets which we set earlier this fiscal year." said Franz Walt, Quotient's Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Walt added "Our ongoing menu expansion plans are progressing well as evidenced by our first SDS microarray entering its field trial and the development data for our extended antigen panel. When available, the extended antigen panel is designed to be a game changing innovation which will replace the initial IH menu that is planned for use in our European hypercare launch."
Extended Antigen Assay Performance
In development studies performed for the extended antigen microarray the following concordance data were achieved in sample sizes of between 120 to 280:
MosaiQ IH Microarray – Extended Antigen Typing
Blood Group Antigen A B D C c E e K k Cw
Concordance 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 99.6% 100% 100% 100% 100%
Blood Group Antigen Kpa Fya Fyb Jka Jkb M N S Leb P1
Concordance 100% 99.5% 100% 100% 100% 100% 99.1% 99.4% 100% *
* An additional assay for the P1 antigen is in the final stages of the print concentration phase of development.
These studies also demonstrate equivalent or improved performance for the antigen assays included on the initial IH microarray. Ongoing development plans include commencement of Verification and Validation for the extended antigen panel in the near future.
MosaiQ Platform
MosaiQ, Quotient's next-generation platform is designed to deliver fast, comprehensive antigen typing, antibody detection and serological and molecular disease screening, using a single low volume sample in a high throughput automated format. MosaiQ represents a transformative and highly disruptive unified diagnostic testing platform for transfusion diagnostics and beyond. Through MosaiQ, Quotient expects to deliver substantial value to its initial target market of donor testing laboratories by providing affordable, routine, comprehensive characterization and screening of blood products, on a single automated instrument platform designed to radically reduce labor costs and complexity associated with existing practice.
Quotient Reconfirms the Following Regulatory and Commercial Milestones
European Regulatory Approval Quotient filed for European regulatory approval for its initial MosaiQ IH microarray in September 2018 and continues to expect to file for the initial Serological Disease Screening (SDS) microarray in the first half of calendar 2019
European Commercialization Quotient has received invitations to participate in tenders once MosaiQ has obtained European approval for the initial IH microarray
IH Microarray Ongoing Development Quotient continues to plan for a Verification and Validation study for the expanded IH antigen testing menu during the first half of calendar 2019
U.S. Field Trials Quotient expects to commence U.S. field trials with the expanded antigen testing menu in the first half of calendar 2019
U.S. Regulatory Approval Quotient expects to file for U.S. and European regulatory approval for the expanded IH microarray in the second half of calendar 2019
Fiscal Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results
"The conventional reagent business recognized strong product sales of $6.7 million in the third quarter, up 15% year over year. Top line growth for the first nine months of this fiscal year was driven by 17% growth in sales to OEM customers, while direct product sales grew 18%. " said Franz Walt. Mr. Walt added, " In the quarter gross margin was adversely impacted by incremental manufacturing costs related to bringing our new Allan Robb Campus on line while continuing to operate our existing manufacturing facility. Milestone payments earned from the approval for sale in the U.S. of certain rare antisera reagents developed for a key OEM customer contributed $806,000 of other revenues in the first nine months of the last fiscal year."
Key revenue and profit results are summarized below (expressed in thousands)
Dec 31, Dec 31,
Product sales — OEM Customers $ 4,719 $ 3,829 $ 14,744 $ 12,625
Product sales — direct customers and distributors 2,004 1,824 6,090 5,164
Other revenues — 206 19 806
Total revenue $ 6,723 $ 5,859 $ 20,853 $ 18,595
Product sales from standing orders (%) 67 % 76 % 67 % 75 %
Gross profit $ 2,537 $ 3,534 $ 8,050 $ 10,652
Gross profit as a % of total revenue 37.7 % 60.3 % 38.6 % 57.3 %
Gross margin on product sales (%) 37.7 % 58.9 % 38.5 % 55.3 %
Operating (loss) $ (19,028) $ (17,095) $ (58,629) $ (52,062)
Capital expenditures totaled $1.4 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared with $5.1 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2017, reflecting the finalization of the construction of our new conventional reagent manufacturing facility earlier this year.
During the third quarter Quotient announced the closing of an underwritten public offering of 10,615,385 ordinary shares at a price to the public of $6.50 per share, which includes the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase up to 1,384,615 additional ordinary shares. The net proceeds to the Company from this offering was approximately $64.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
In October 2016, the Company issued $84.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes and later issued an additional $36.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes in June 2018. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company sold to the purchasers the right to receive, in the aggregate, a royalty right equal to 2% of the aggregate net sales of MosaiQ™ instruments and consumables in the donor testing market in the European Union and the United States.
During the third quarter the Company entered into a first supplemental indenture to modify the terms of its previously issued Senior Notes as follows:
extending the maturity date of the Senior Notes to April 15, 2024
revising the principal amortization schedule to delay by two years the initial redemption of the Senior Notes now set to commence on April 15,2021
revising the periods and redemption prices related to the optional redemption by the Company of the Senior Notes
permitting the Company to issue up to an additional $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes following the European CE marking of the Company's initial MosaiQTM IH Microarray
In consideration for these modifications, the Company agreed to pay to the noteholders a one-time consent payment of $3.9 million and agreed to increase the aggregate amount of the Royalty Right from 2% to 3%. The supplemental indenture became effective in December 2018.
Quotient ended the quarter with $107.7 million in available cash and other short-term investments and $112.8 million of debt, net of $7.2 million in an offsetting long-term cash reserve account.
Outlook for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2019
Product revenue is expected to be in the range of $27.6 to $27.8 million for the full fiscal year. Other revenues (product development fees) of approximately $0.45 million are also expected in the fiscal year. Forecasted other revenue assumes the receipt of milestone payments contingent upon achievement of regulatory milestones for certain products under development. The receipt of these milestone payments involves risks and uncertainties.
Operating loss, reflecting incremental investments in our development priorities, is expected to be in the range of $75 to $78 million including approximately $18 million of non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization and stock compensation.
Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $4 to $5 million.
Product sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 are expected to be in the range of $6.8 to $7.0 million, compared with $6.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.
Quarterly product sales can fluctuate depending upon the shipment cycles for red blood cell based products, which account for approximately two-thirds of current product sales. These products typically experience 13 shipment cycles per year, equating to three shipments of each product per quarter, except for one quarter per year when four shipments occur. The timing of shipment of bulk antisera products to OEM customers may also move revenues from quarter to quarter. Some seasonality in demand is also experienced around holiday periods in both Europe and the United States. As a result of these factors, Quotient expects to continue to see seasonality and quarter-to-quarter variations in product sales. The timing of product development fees included in other revenues is mostly dependent upon the achievement of pre-negotiated project milestones.
Quotient will host a conference call on Thursday, January 31st at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss its third quarter fiscal 2019 financial results. Participants may access the call by dialing 1-877-407-0784 in the U.S. or 1-201-689-8560 outside the U.S. The conference call will be webcast live on the Company's website at www.quotientbd.com.
A replay of this conference call will be available through February 7, 2019 by dialing 1-844-512-2921 in the U.S. or 1-412-317-6671 outside the U.S. The replay access code is 13686635.

THE FUTURE,
MADE POSSIBLE.


Jacqui Slack, one of our professional triathletes representing Torq, has been enjoying some southern hemisphere training and racing – here's what she has to say.
It was a beach start which I have been working on since I came to Australia I was ready for the gun to go, I bolted into the water it was a good start but I panicked and dolphin dived too early even after all that practice, I was separated from the front group by the first buoy but continued to swim strong and did my best to look out for a wave on the way in but no such luck. The run out of the water was solid it was a 150 meters on soft sand which zaps your energy I ran well and I didn't lose any time to the other girls I think everyone found it difficult. I had a great transition and managed to get one foot in my shoe as I leaped on my bike then it was straight round the roundabout and a time trial for at least half a lap until a group formed.
I knew I was in the second pack as we could see the leaders on the turn around. I was in a good pack as we had some potential winners in the group, so everyone wanted to work to catch the leaders and that's what we did. I rode really strong (probably my best ride ever). I put myself in great positions every time we hit the hill or a corner and I was always ready for a break if someone tried to go. Every lap we gained time on the lead group until finally on the last lap they only had a 25 second lead great we were all in the race. The run was very hard not only due to the hill we had to run up 8 times, but because of the heat I've never ran in such hot conditions it was tough.
I ran solid but slowed on the 2/3rd lap due to cramp. I ran through this and was able to push on and catch a couple of girls before coming on to the last lap. I finished in 25th, which was good considering I was ranked 40th going into the race. The most important thing about today was that I really enjoyed the race and had the fastest bike split of the day, however I'm still not quite there on the swim, but this will come with another 6 weeks of Max's (coaches) swim sessions. Can't wait to get back into some solid training and look forward to the season ahead – happy times. I had so much support out on the course thanks to everyone for their cheers it really spurs you on.

What is Criminology?
If you're interested in a career that serves the public, then the field of criminology may be right for you. Criminology is the study of crime. As a branch of sociology, this focus area looks at how crime affects individuals and society as a whole, and it can take a wide range of forms in terms of career application. Those who study crime might work within a police force or as part of a research firm, or they may teach courses on the subject. For criminologists, identifying the motives behind the crimes is essential to deterring future criminal activity.
Schools of Thought
There are three primary schools of thought within the field of criminology: classical, positivist and ecological. Each school of thought seeks to address the issue of how to understand and prevent criminal behavior. As the oldest school of thought, classical is more widely known, and it rests on four principles: that individuals can act on their own accord because of free will; that people prefer pleasure over pain, which leads them to analyze the consequences of their actions ahead of time; that appropriate punishment will deter criminal activity; and that the key to deterring crime is through swift and certain punishment.
Positivists believe that biological, environmental and psychological factors affect a person's ability and desire to commit crimes. This school of thought was the first of the three to use the scientific method for studying human behavior, thus making criminology a respected discipline among the sciences. Ecological criminology, which is also referred to as the Chicago school of thought, asserts that psychological and environmental factors play key roles in criminal behavior. Ecologists believe that environment is a strong motivating factor when it comes to crime.
Criminology vs. Criminal Justice
Criminologists and people who study criminal justice have similar aims in mind, but criminology and criminal justice are different fields. In fact, criminal justice could be considered a subfield within the larger area of criminology. While criminology focuses on crime, criminal justice focuses on how crime gets punished. It's the practical side of the criminology coin. People who study criminal justice typically end up in careers related to law enforcement or the justice system, such as detective work or judicial services. Criminologists are more focused on the "why" behind criminal activity, which lends itself to careers that are based in research.
Those who study criminology and criminal justice have a vast array of career options available to them, according to About Careers. Police officers, federal investigators, border patrol agents and corrections officers all draw from backgrounds in the fundamentals of criminology. Criminologists might also specialize in different areas, such as forensic science, which is a branch of investigative science that uses scientific methods to solve crime and answer specific legal questions. Counselors, social workers, prison psychologists and other similar professionals also use criminology to understand how people think and to correct negative behavior.
Related Resource: Disaster Program Manager
Criminologists would be well suited for any field that requires a strong grasp of psychological, sociological and scientific concepts. Some schools offer programs that are specifically designed on the study of crime while others offer a more indirect route to the profession. If you're interested in a career in criminology, know that you can take this field in a number of directions based on your overall objectives and individual interests.


Crescent School District has recently completed an engagement review/accreditation process and has been recommended for full accreditation by Advanc-Ed.
A team of teachers and administrators form the school worked on looking at the improvement process currently in place in the district. On April 24 and 25 a team of four school administrators from three neighboring districts visited the Crescent campus to document the work of our district that was submitted as evidence. In that process they interviewed 53 students, 23 staff members, 14 parents and 2 administrators to identify the things the district does well and areas to consider for improvement. The recommendation for accreditation has been sent to the full committee and the district will get a final notice from Advanc-ED that we have continuing accreditation from 2019 to 2024.
Special thanks to the accreditation team and to all of the staff, students, and parents who came together to make this a positive process for our school!

Lincoln Ave.; 773-871-3000). A postshow reception with Coval follows. Tickets run $15 (admission, plus a CD of excerpts from the book) to $25 (admission, CD, and the book).
Best Bets for Things to Do This Week
The economy's in the dumps; gas prices are still sky-high; and half of your Olympic faves have been thrown out for doping. You've got enough soapbox material for a lifetime. Step up: Speaking your mind is encouraged at the Bughouse Square Debates in Washington Square Park, just across the street from the Newberry Library (60 W. Walton St.; 312-255-3700). The jam session runs from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 26th alongside the library's 24th annual Book Fair. Participation is free.
Admire, part one
Forget what you think you know about opera divas. Nicole Cabell has glamour-gal good looks, not to mention pipes of steel. The soprano stars in the Lyric Opera's fall production of The Pearl Fishers with Nathan Gunn (no chopped liver himself), but you can catch her at 8 p.m. this Thursday, July 31st, singing works by Ravel, Liszt, Previn, and Guastavino at Ravinia (Lake-Cook and Green Bay Roads, Highland Park; 847-266-5100). Tickets are $10 to $50.
Admire, part two
Also onstage, also easy on the eyes: Luciano Pavarotti mentee and dreamboat Vittorio Grigolo sings a tribute to the master, with the help of soprano Olivia Gorra, in Millennium Park's Pritzker Pavilion (Michigan Avenue and Randolph Street; 312-742-7638). The free concert of works by Puccini and Verdi begins at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, July 26th, followed by the city's annual illuminated boat parade, Venetian Night, on the lakefront at 7:45 p.m.
Hotshot Nitin Sawhney has composed scores for movies (Mira Nair's 2007 flick The Namesake) and video games (Playstation 3's Heavenly Sword), but with A Throw of Dice, he mined material a little further back on the timeline. Hear his score for the 1929 Indian melodrama—with Sawhney playing piano and celesta, and the Grant Park Orchestra on everything else—alongside a showing of the film at 8 p.m. Wednesday, July 30th in Millennium Park's Pritzker Pavilion (Michigan Avenue and Randolph Street; 312-742-7638). Admission is free.
An indie-music echo to last week's Pitchfork: Wicker Park Fest (Damen Avenue between North Avenue and Schiller Street; 773-384-2672) runs from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, July 26th and Sunday, July 27th with an impressive roster of acts, including Prefuse 73 (7:25 p.m. Saturday), Joan of Arc (7:55 p.m. Saturday), and Bob Schneider (8:45 p.m. Sunday). Admission is $5.
Or get a leg up on summer's biggest, sweatiest, most anticipated music fest. GALApalooza, a Lolla-sneak-peek-slash-fundraiser for the Buckingham Fountain Restoration Project, kicks off at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 31st in the Petrillo Music Shell (235 S. Columbus Dr.; 312-742-4808). The evening includes cocktails, a buffet, and a performance by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. Tickets run $350 to $10,000 at parkways.org.


Leicester City have been boosted by the news that Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans and Rachid Ghezzal should be fit to face Spurs on Saturday evening.
The trio were absent on Wednesday evening as the Foxes earned a point with a 1-1 draw against Fulham.
England international Maguire has been absent since injuring his knee in the win at Cardiff City over a month ago, while Evans was substituted in the win over Watford last weekend.
Summer signing Ghezzal, who returned to full training with his teammates earlier in the week, picked up a leg injury ahead of their trip to Brighton & Hove Albion two weeks ago.
With the trio's return a boost for Claude Puel ahead of the visit of Spurs, the Foxes will definitely be without Jamie Vardy for the clash at the King Power Stadium.
The striker had suffered a recurrence of a groin injury in training and was forced to miss the midweek game against Fulham.
Amid talk that he might possibly need surgery to solve the issue, Puel has admitted he is hopeful he could return for their next game against Crystal Palace.
"No he won't need surgery," the Frenchman told the press, as reported by Leicestershire Live . "He has a little pain. I hope he can recover in 10 days and be available for the next game.
"We will see. I don't want to push him too much.
"We have a lot of games and we want to have all the squad available. We will see for the next game.
"It's just something about the pain. We need to be careful."

Worth Seeing: Which movies to watch this weekend, May 6
Entertainment // Movies
Mick LaSalle, Peter Hartlaub
Barbershop: The Next Cut: This comedy finds a tone that allows for the possibility of tragedy, which is appropriate for this story of a fun neighborhood spot that happens to be in midst of a horrible crime wave. The movie features strong performances from Ice Cube and Regina Hall as the barbershop's owners and a funny reprise of Eddie, the ancient, opinionated barber played by Cedric the Entertainer. Rated PG-13. 112 minutes.
— Mick LaSalle
Green Room: There is plenty of grindhouse-quality mayhem in this outstanding punk rockers versus white supremacists horror thriller. But for all the wicked plot turns and marvelously gratuitous carnage, the film's greatest asset may be its realism. Like non-cinematic life, it's not very tidy, not completely comprehensible and no one is safe — a low budget movie where the filmmaker is in complete command of the chaos. Rated R. 94 minutes.
— Peter Hartlaub
A Hologram for the King: Tom Tykwer, oozing directorial confidence, guides this brisk adaptation of the Dave Eggers novel, featuring a winning central performance by Tom Hanks, as an IT salesman who really needs to put over a big sale in Saudi Arabia. Rated R. 108 minutes.

This Client's Lips Have Made Her Very Happy!


In this case, the client, Nicole Landry, was going through divorce proceedings. As part of the proceedings, Landry's husband's lawyer sent a subpoena to RBC ordering a bank employee to attend court with information on Landry's accounts. The employee also faxed account statements to the husband's lawyer without Landry's consent. This was a violation of RBC's own policies, which required the consent of an account holder before releasing information. The faxing of the documents directly to the husband's lawyer was also a violation of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), as it was outside the scope of the subpoena, which requested the documents for court records.
The disclosure of Landry's account information exposed the fact that she had been concealing the existence of a personal bank account, contrary to her legal obligation to reveal all her assets in the divorce proceedings. Landry sued RBC, claiming its disclosure of information contrary to its policies and PIPEDA had caused her personal harm and humiliation.
The court agreed RBC's disclosure of Landry's account information directly to the husband's lawyer violated PIPEDA. However, it also found the disclosure of the documents to the divorce court was proper under the subpoena. Regardless of the latter, however, the court said the PIPEDA violation was a serious error on the part of RBC.
The court found most of the humiliation and personal harm Landry suffered came from the release of the divorce settlement and her own secretive conduct. However, in recognition of the bank's breach of her privacy, it awarded Landry a token amount of $4,500 in damages. She had asked for $100,000 in her claim.
RBC argued that it acted in good faith – conducting an internal investigation and re-training staff on following bank policy when faced with third party requests for personal information. The bank also argued that since the information would have been disclosed as a result of the subpoena, the customer did not suffer any harm as a direct result of the wrongful disclosure. The case brings into question whether, due to this precedent, companies will automatically face PIPEDA damage awards due to employee errors, despite reasonable efforts to avoid such breaches.
Though the decade-old PIPEDA allows for monetary damages for humiliation suffered as a result of a violation of the act, this is only the second time damages have actually been awarded. In 2010, the Federal Court awarded $5,000 to a client of a bank whose credit profile contained the credit history and personal information of someone else.


There's clearly a direct link between the misrepresentation of Black youth as inherently criminal and the justification given by those who brazenly take their lives. The publishing industry can't solve this problem, but the relative lack of children's books by and about people of color nonetheless functions as a kind of "symbolic annihilation." Despite the fact that the majority of school-age children in the US are now kids of color, the US publishing industry continues to produce books that overwhelmingly feature white children only. The message is clear: the lives of kids of color don't matter.
For yesterday's election, it would have mattered if you were, say, in Kentucky rather than New York City. But at this point, when money has come to matter more than votes, any work to raise the consciousness of people who can influence decision-makers and resist the lies of money-driven campaigns is the most important work we can do.
Excellent analysis, as always, Lyn!

Asia-Pacific countries pledged bold and innovative action for food security and livelihoods
11.09.2020 14:12 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) — Innovation, solidarity, coherence and strong partnership among and within countries of Asia and the Pacific are required for the region to rebound from the damage caused by COVID-19 and the ongoing effects of chronic undernourishment.
That was a call made by more than 40 member countries of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations concluding a four-day regional conference. About 750 participants, including representatives of the private sector and civil society, pledged to work to transform food systems, making them more sustainable, productive and resilient, and to feed a hungry world in a way that is profitable for farmers yet produces healthy food that is accessible to all.
«To transform food systems for sustainable healthy diets we must have coherence, partnerships and solidarity to reduce the costs of production,» FAO Director-General QU Dongyu said on the final day of the 35th Regional Conference for Asia and the Pacific, hosted by the Government of Bhutan.
«Big data, a digital economy and mobile technology will help producers achieve that.» Today, mobile technology is leading innovation «and a smartphone in the hands of a smallholder farmer is his new farming tool,» the Director-General added.
The Conference also learned more about the establishment of a FAO Office of Innovation and the creation of an International Platform for Digital Food and Agriculture.
The Conference heard that agricultural innovation can reduce back-breaking drudgery, and that food chains in the Asia-Pacific region are increasingly benefitting from technological innovation such as drones, satellite imagery, big data and block chains.
«Leveraging data, innovation and technology has shown that, here in Asia and the Pacific, we have brilliant minds, scientists and an entrepreneurial spirit that will lead us through the challenges presented by COVID-19 and help us conquer malnutrition and poverty,» the Director-General said.
The Conference held a special session dedicated to the application of new technology and innovation in agriculture, which are wooing back young people and empowering women in the sector, according to participants. It was agreed that new and innovative food and agricultural policies, processes, investment and learning could get the region back on track to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2 (ending hunger and promoting sustainable agriculture) by 2030.
COVID-19 underscores the need to redouble efforts to end hunger and poverty
The Asia-Pacific region is home to more than half of the world's undernourished people, and with the impacts of COVID-19 the number of hungry people in Southern Asia could rise by nearly a third to 330 million in the next ten years.
The participants heard how FAO's recently launched COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme, would help countries mitigate the immediate impacts of the pandemic while build back better, accelerating global hunger-fighting efforts through a focus on innovation.
The Conference was chaired by the Minister for Agriculture and Forests of Bhutan, Yeshey Penjor, who called for strengthened collaboration: «While great strides had been made to reduce poverty and hunger by so many countries, COVID-19 has upended the momentum. We must prepare for higher risks ahead of us and make sure that there is sustainability in the food supply chain,» he said.
The Conference also appreciated the FAO Hand in Hand Initiative that aims to enable matchmaking, bringing the right partners together at the right time, to help the region move forward and meet the needs of member countries. The Initiative has already seen the launch of state-of-the-art tools such as the Hand-in-Hand Geospatial Platform and the FAO Data Lab for statistical innovation.
«Ironically, the fact that COVID-19 has driven us to meet remotely has, in some ways, helped us to move away from formalities and get closer together,» said Director-General QU, referring to the fact the Regional Conference was held entirely in virtual mode for the first time in FAO's history. «So while we are separated by some 11 time zones, we have still managed to come together, have thought-provoking discussions and reach consensus on a number of important issues.»
There were a number of other firsts and achievements. The private sector joined for the first time a FAO Asia and the Pacific Regional Conference. Civil society organizations also continued to have an important voice. Prior to the conference, which is part of FAO's regional governance structure, national consultations were held in member nations across the region — another first.
