Cannes: Weinstein Co In Exclusive Talks For 'The Coup'; Fest's 2nd-Biggest Deal So Far
EXCLUSIVE UPDATE: Well, it took all day, but I can tell you that The Weinstein Company is now in an exclusive negotiation and will close a U.S. distribution deal on a bitter bidding battle for The Coup, the John Erick Dowdle-directed thriller that stars Owen Wilson and Pierce Brosnan. I'd written yesterday that TWC was considered the frontrunner, but it was an all-day battle for the Bold Films picture that pitted TWC against Relativity. TWC has until early tomorrow evening to close a deal expected to land $5 million and that makes it the second-biggest acquisition of the Cannes market behind
the whopping $20 million that Paramount paid for Story Of Your Life. The hope is to give it a wide release late winter or early spring. Deal is being papered now by WME Global's Graham Taylor, who was also in the middle of that Story Of Your Life deal (with FilmNation's Glen Basner), and Nightcrawler (done with CAA). Nightcrawler, which closed with Open Road last night for $4.5 million, is also a Bold Films-backed production, so that company has also had a hot hand. Sierra/Affinity is selling both The Coup and Nightcrawler, a task that will be much easier for Nick Meyer with wide release domestic deals in place.
This is the culmination of a dealmaking marathon for Harvey Weinstein, David Glasser and their team, as they also landed Sing Street, the John Carney-directed Irish movie that he'll make with U2's Bono and The Edge.
EARLIER EXCLUSIVE, May 16, 11:17 am PST: Buyers have begun pulling out their wallets. I'm told that the bidding is up to $6 million for U.S. rights on The Coup, the John Erick Dowdle-directed thriller that stars Owen Wilson and Pierce Brosnan. The Weinstein Company is the front-runner, but it is battling it out right now with Relativity, with Paramount a lurking dark horse. Open Road had also been in the mix, but it sounds like it's now between the other three. The movie is backed by Bold Films and was scripted by the director and his brother Drew, who also produced. It is about an American family that relocates to Southeast Asia, only to find themselves in the middle of a violent coup. They struggle to find an escape route because the new parties in control are executing foreigners as quickly as they can round them up. WME Global is in the thick of the auction right now.

This comes as distributors are up to $4 million on the Jake Gyllenhaal-starrer Nightcrawler, with The Weinstein Company, Focus Features and Open Road in the mix and A24 and Fox Searchlight circling. Paramount got the fest market off to a flying start when it spent $20 million for North American and Chinese rights to the Denis Villenueve-directed science fiction tale Story Of Your Life, starring Amy Adams.

The action on The Coup is based in buyers seeing 11 minutes of footage, along with a trailer. This one could well be wrapped up before everyone heads off to tonight's parties on the Croisette.
In other deals done today, A24 acquired U.S. rights to Atom Egoyan's Competition title The Captive and the Ewan McGregor Aussie thriller Son Of A Gun, both deals in conjunction with partner DirecTV. Also, Sony Pictures Classics bought U.S rights to another Competition entry, Wild Tales, Argentinian filmmaker Damián Szifron darkly comic story of tragedy, love, deception, the past, and violence lurking beneath the surface of the everyday. Pedro Almodóvar counts among the producers of the pic, which will go out through Warner Bros in Argentina on August 14.

Paddy Madden says he is enjoying the new style of play Mark Robins has brought to the club.
"I haven't particularly had to adjust my game as I'm the kind of player who likes to get the ball and run at people," he said.
New manager Mark Robins has impressed Madden during his first couple of weeks at the club. The striker is particularly enjoying the style of play the former-Huddersfield boss has got the side playing.
"He's a very good manager and an ex-Premier League striker so he's more attacking, which is good for us front men," Madden said.
Luke Williams made his debut for the Iron against Notts County last weekend. The striker was very pleased with the Middlesbrough loanee's first appearance in the claret and blue.
The Irishman says training has been very good this week, despite the cruel 1-0 defeat against the Magpies at the weekend.
"Obviously it's hard to take the 90th minute goal we conceded on Saturday," said Madden.
The club have had a week to think about Saturday's encounter with Peterborough, something the squad have all appreciated, according to Madden.
The Posh currently lie fifth in the League One table, and the forward knows it will not be easy for the Iron.
He said: "Peterborough have been up and down League One and the Championship for quite a while now so they're going to be organised and hard to break down.
See much more from Paddy Madden, Mark Robins and Sam Slocombe on The Iron Player.

Colorado Governor targets oil & gas in move to reduce ozone levels. Operations above 50 TPY ozone precursors emissions become Major Sources under "Serious Non-Attainment" rules.
On March 26, 2019 Colorado Governor Jared Polis announced he was rescinding a request to the Environmental Protection Agency that would have given the state more time to come into compliance with ozone limits, according to an April 4, 2019 Denverite report.
Ozone levels around the Denver metro area have long been over EPA's accepted limits. The agency first raised a red flag in 2004, then the region was officially designated as a "nonattainment" area in 2008 and again in 2012. Since then, levels have not improved, which means the EPA is may soon downgrade the state's status to "serious nonattainment."
As a result, oil and gas operations in the region that have not previously been deemed "major sources" could soon receive that designation, which comes with new hoops to jump through and higher fees.
Right now, any operation that emits more than 100 tons of ozone or ozone precursors each year are designated as "major sources" and have to file for a Title V operating permit, which was created under the Clean Air Act. When the Front Range slips into "serious nonattainment" in July, the threshold for requiring Title V permit will drop to 50 tons per year.
Garry Kaufman, director of Colorado's Air Pollution Control Division, told Denverite that local Title V permit holders currently represent all kinds of industries, from power generation to breweries. The Coors plant in Golden, for instance, is one of them. But the breakdown is less diverse when it comes to businesses that emit between 50 and 100 tons per year.
"They're mostly oil and gas," he said.
Some of those companies might find ways to lower their emissions, while others will be subject to the new regulation and be required to offset their releases.
The governor's announcement came days before the Colorado Senate passed a controversial bill meant to give municipalities more control over where oil and gas development can take place inside their borders.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Colorado Oil and Gas Association said the "industry is a committed stakeholder" in lowering emissions across the state.
What this means to you
Colorado Governor Polis has rescinded a request to EPA to buy more time to meet ozone compliance levels. Under serious non-attainment (July 2019) the emission threshold for requiring Title V permits will drop to 50 tons per year ozone or ozone precursors. The breakdown of businesses that emit between 50 and 100 tons per year is mostly oil and gas according to Colorado's Air Pollution Control Division.

Q: Factory pattern with abstractions clarification I am trying to get clarification around the Factory Pattern as described (with examples) here:
http://www.oodesign.com/factory-pattern.html
When I attempt to implement the "class registration without reflection" example I get a null pointer exception. This is the same as has been described here:
factory method pattern with class registration produces a nullpointer exception
I understand why I am getting the null pointer exception (the HashMap is not populated by the time it is being used) and I know that I can fix it by using class.forName in the main or in a static block within the Factory implementation.
But doesn't that defeat the purpose of using this pattern? I thought the idea was that the object being created did the registration - if you are forced to manually load the class to force the static block to run, doesn't this violate the Open Close Principle?
Here is example code:
Main.java
public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Widget widgetA = WidgetFactory.getInstance().createWidget("WidgetA");
    Widget widgetB = WidgetFactory.getInstance().createWidget("WidgetB");

    widgetA.doSomething();
    widgetB.doSomething();
  }
}

Widget.java
public abstract class Widget {
    protected abstract Widget createWidget();
    public abstract void doSomething();
}

WidgetFactory.java
public class WidgetFactory {

    private static WidgetFactory instance;

    public static synchronized WidgetFactory getInstance() {
        if (instance == null) {
            instance = new WidgetFactory();
        }
        return instance;
    }
    private HashMap<String, Widget> widgets = new HashMap<>();

    public void registerWidget(String id, Widget widget) {
        widgets.put(id, widget);
    }

    public Widget createWidget(String id) {
        Widget widget = widgets.get(id).create();
        return widget;
    }
}

WidgetA.java
public class WidgetA extends Widget {

    static {
        WidgetFactory.getInstance().registerWidget("WidgetA", new WidgetA());
    }

    @Override
    protected Widget createWidget() {
        return new WidgetA();
    }

    @Override
    public void doSomething() {
        System.out.println("WidgetA");
    }

}

WidgetB.java
public class WidgetB extends Widget {

    static {
        WidgetFactory.getInstance().registerWidget("WidgetB", new WidgetB());
    }

    @Override
    protected Widget createWidget() {
        return new WidgetB();
    }

    @Override
    public void doSomething() {
        System.out.println("WidgetB");
    }

}

As mentioned earlier, to get it to work I can put this in the Main or the WidgetFactory class:
static {
    try {
        Class.forName(WidgetA.class.getName());
        Class.forName(WidgetB.class.getName());
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace(System.err);
    }
}

Again, can someone please clarify how this pattern should be implemented or share a technique to make this pattern work without having to update the Main or the WidgetFactory class each time a new Widget subclass is added?
Thank you for your help!

A: You cannot do this without reflection as the JVM-specification enforces lazy class loading to save resources. There is neither a parameter for the JVM nor a "EagerClassLoader" (which loads all classes of all jar files). See also the answers to this question and this one and this one.
However you can load all classes of ONE package via reflection with this code:
public static void loadAllClassesOfPackage(String packageName) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
        ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread()
                .getContextClassLoader();
        assert classLoader != null;
        String path = packageName.replace('.', '/');
        Enumeration<URL> resources = classLoader.getResources(path);
        File packageDir = new File(resources.nextElement().getFile());
        for (File file : packageDir.listFiles()) {
            if (file.isFile() && file.getName().endsWith(".class")) {
                Class.forName(packageName
                        + '.'
                        + file.getName().substring(0,
                                file.getName().length() - 6));
            }
        }
    }

As long as you only load the classes of one package with a "reasonable" number of classes, this won't take to much resources.
My sample code was inspired by this sample code which also loads the classes of subpackages as well.
Edit:
I extended my implementation with a branch for directories so that it works recursively.
public static void loadAllClassesOfPackageRecursively(String packageName)
        throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
    ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread()
            .getContextClassLoader();
    assert classLoader != null;
    String path = packageName.replace('.', '/');
    Enumeration<URL> resources = classLoader.getResources(path);
    File packageDir = new File(resources.nextElement().getFile());
    for (File file : packageDir.listFiles()) {
        if (file.isFile() && file.getName().endsWith(".class")) {
            Class.forName(packageName
                    + '.'
                    + file.getName().substring(0,
                            file.getName().length() - 6));
        } else if (file.isDirectory()) {
            loadAllClassesOfPackageRecursively(packageName + '.' + file.getName());
        }
    }
}

CC Artist Laureate Steele to Perform Portraiture – Live Online
September 29, 2020 News 0
Noted California artist and Culver City Artist Laureate Alexey Steele will launch a series of technology powered portrait sessions showcasing Culver City neighbors, beginning with long time Culver City resident Dr. Janet Cameron Hoult.
"Culver City has always been the heart of arts and innovation on the Westside, and with this project, Alexey Steele demonstrates both. His recent efforts to share artwork with our Culver City Emergency Food Drive have brought joy to our most vulnerable. Now with his live drawing sessions, he has met the challenge of social distancing and found a creative way to continue his work and share it with us all," said Culver City Mayor Göran Eriksson.
In an expansion of his Love My Neighbor project, Steele will select 6-8 Culver City neighbors to capture in portrait. For the first portrait, Steele has chosen long time Culver City resident, poet, teacher, and Honorary Artist Laureate for Culver City, Dr. Janet Cameron Hoult. Dr. Hoult has a rich history of civic service and contribution to the cultural life in Culver City, and she was instrumental in establishing its Artist Laureate Program. As a senior citizen, Dr. Hoult is in a high-risk category for contracting COVID-19.
On three separate dates, Steele will live stream remote portrait sessions with Dr. Hoult, who will remain in self-isolation in her home. She will maintain visual contact with Steele via video conference transmitted onto a TV screen in the artists' studio in Long Beach. There, Steele will be working on the portrait as if his model was sitting right in front of him. Each drawing session and his interaction with the model will be broadcast via Facebook Live. Viewers will be able to watch the portrait come to life, listen to Alexey's commentary about his work and his conversations with Dr. Hoult, and even ask questions. The sessions will also be recorded and available for later viewing.
"As we celebrate National Arts and Humanities Month in October, we want to recognize not only the leading role the arts have played in Culver City's history, but the starring role that arts can play in the city's long-term economic and cultural development. And, as this current health crisis has reminded us, the arts perform a vital role in maintaining the physical and mental health of the city's residents. Alexey's project exemplifies the creativity and community spirit to be found in Culver City," said Tania Fleischer, Chair, Culver City Cultural Affairs Commission.

Q: Does Entity Framework 6.1 support an XML data type natively? Some RDBMSs (including SQL Server) support XML columns. I'd prefer not mapping such a column to the string data type. Does Entity Framework 6.1 support XML natively in any way?
More specifically, can I map an xml column to one of the XML data types of .NET (such as XElement or XmlElement)? Does Entity Framework support XQuery that is integrated into normal LINQ queries and is translated to SQL queries?

A: No, only mapping it to string and then having to stream it back in to an XML document.
There is a long thread back and forth with Microsoft about doing this in EF4, 5, or 6, but it looks like they researched it and decided to punt.
You can read that here:

CraftPro Plus IV in White Ash makes my sewing area look so large. Shelves hold patterns, stabilizer tubs and everything I need. Great to have everything in one spot and so handy.
I just ordered this same model set up for my machine on one side and serger on the other. I asked the sales person about using the chair to sew and she assured me it was just like the Treasure model. I showed her the pictures of shelves and she said she didn't know why the photo showed those shelves. Now I am worried. I see that you also have shelves. Can you sit on your chair and sew without bumping your legs into the shelves?

Q: What is the difference between "He seemed to be angry." and "He seemed angry."? I want to know the difference between the following sentences:

*

*He seemed to be angry.

*He seemed angry.

I heard that when I use "to be" in the text like in above sentence, "to be" means "subjective". When without "to be" means objective.
When somebody says "She seemed to be beautiful", It means she is beautiful to someone."
When somebody says "She seemed beautiful?, It means that everybody thinks she is beautiful.
Is that right?

A: Both can be correct, but the second seems to show more of a continuous state. "He seemed to be angry" doesn't sound like he is regularly angry but "He seemed angry" could mean that his anger has lasted for a while. For instance, "he seemed to be nice" could describe that he was nice on a particular occasion. "He seemed nice" could mean he was nice on a particular occasion but it could also mean that whoever is saying it thinks that the person could be generally nice.

A: There is no difference at all. "to be" in "He seemed to be angry" does not achieve much, so it is mostly shortened. But some people are very quick at interpreting differences.

Naming the top dive sites in the world is a risky business. The ocean is constantly in flux, and the desires of scuba divers are wildly varied. However, a few sites do stand out above the rest in terms of diver reviews and constantly adequate conditions. Below you'll find our picks for the top 10 dive sites in the world.
If you disagree, don't hesitate to let us know in the comments below.
By the way, this is the summary article for our "top 10" series. Be sure to take a look at the other dive site round-ups before planning your next scuba diving adventure.
Congratulations, you've been to 1 out of 10 of the best dive sites in the world. Share it with your friends and let's see how you compare!
Cocos Island, which lies far from the Costa Rican Pacific coast, is only accessible by liveaboard, but is consistently ranked as the top destination in the world for hammerhead diving with this world-class dive site. The seamount known as Bajo Alcyone rises to 82 feet (25 meters) below the surface and is regularly home to large shoals of hammerhead sharks. The diving can difficult, but the plan is simple. Divers descend to the top of the sea mount, wedge themselves between the rocks and watch the action above.
When to Go: June to November for the best marine life. December to May for the best water conditions.
The best wreck dive in the world, the SS Thistlegorm lies in the northern section of the Red Sea. As a popular day trip and liveaboard stop, it's easily accessible from Sharm El-Sheikh. The wreck itself was a 420-foot (128-meter) British transport ship. Unfortunately, she met her fate in 1941 when she was sunk by a German air attack. Today, she remains a window into history with a visible cargo of trucks, jeeps, motorcycles, tanks and even a locomotive.
Blue Corner is a dive for the ages. It consists of a reef-covered wall which runs along the side of Ngemelis Island. While the dive is great at any time due to the massive schools of fish, this dive site shows its best face when the currents are strong. At that time, divers use reef hooks to attach to the wall and watch a number of pelagic species swim past. Common sights include tuna, sharks and eagle rays. Many Blue Corner alums claim that they have never seen so many sharks on a single dive.
Certainly one of the most unique night dives, the Manta Night Dive is a ballet for feeding manta rays. Just off the coast of Kona is an artificially illuminated area, divers descend to the sandy observation areas. As the light attracts plankton, mantas arrive to take advantage of the feast. All the divers need to do is to relax and enjoy the show while the graceful manta rays turn and spin above.
There are thousands of cenotes scattered throughout the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, and many of them could easily find a spot on this list. But the mystical quality of Cenote Angelita makes it hard to ignore. At approximately 100 feet (30 meters), the clear fresh water is separated from the salt water below by a layer of hydrogen sulphate. The appearance of this cloudy substance is otherworldly and makes for fantastic underwater photos.
Known for shark diving, Bahamas is a wonderland of fantastic dive sites. While you can swim with hammerheads, oceanic whitetips and reef sharks around the country, at Tiger Beach, you'll find daily encounters with tiger sharks. Several large sharks show up daily for their provided feast. While you wait on the sandy bottom, the sharks circle around the group for a few minutes, dining on the chum. You'll also probably see nurse, lemon and Caribbean reef sharks at this famous shark site.
A wonderland for macro lovers and underwater photographers, Secret Bay, or Mainit Muck as it's known locally, is a must-dive site in the Philippines. This site is quite shallow between 10 and 70 feet (3 and 21 meters), but it is quite productive for small marine life. Many have reported sightings of mantis shrimp, rare nudibranchs, gobies of all types and wonderpus. The site is also great as a night dive when Ambon scorpionfish, bobbit worms, seahorses and frogfish become active.
Diving between continental plates may sound risky, but scuba divers flock to Silfra Fissure year-round for the pleasure. Granted, these plates are moving so slowly, you will never know it. With 300-foot (100-meter) visibility, exploring the space between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates is a dream. Glide along the aquatic grasses full of blues and greens before snapping a picture between the rock faces of the plates.
Certainly an adventurous dive, the sardine run attracts pelagic-loving scuba divers to South Africa on an annual basis. During a few weeks from May to July, millions of sardines swim up the coast in order to reach Durban where they spawn. On the way, many predators wait to feast on the tiny fish. These larger animals include dolphins, birds, sharks and whales. Diving the sardine run requires patience as dive boats spend many hours on the chilly seas searching for bait balls. When one of these congregations is finally found, divers jump in quickly to see the feeding frenzy.
Raja Ampat seems to be on every diver's bucket list these days. There is good reason for it, and Cape Kri is one of the dive sites that put this region on the map. A few years ago, scientists recorded the most fish species on a single dive at this site. Diving at Cape Kri is fairly easy. You just need to dive into the warm water and slowly glide along the healthy coral reef, taking in all the colorful life around you.
Have you dived any of these superb dive sites? Still have a lot to see? Check off the bucket list feature above and then share your results with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.


PRAGUE (FIBA EuroBasket Women 2017) – Czech Republic have been handed a major boost for EuroBasket Women 2017 after the host nation revealed Kia Vaughn will suit up as their naturalized player at the event.
While the international arena will prove to be new territory for the powerful center, Vaughn will be in familiar surroundings as she is now in her fifth season at ZVVZ USK Prague.
She wrote herself into local basketball folklore when she was crowned EuroLeague Women MVP in the Czech capital during 2015 when leading Prague to their first ever title in the competition.
"It feels good and as if I am part Czech already, so it is a blessing," said Vaughn, who is also a force on the other side of the Atlantic in the WNBA.
"It means that I get to represent a country, my family and friends in a very positive way.
"To have the opportunity to play at a major tournament like this (FIBA EuroBasket Women) is a good experience.
"The goal is always to win and I hope I can lead and bring my teammates with me.
"We just need to go out and do what we can to play some good basketball, and hopefully the support can be as good as it is for EuroLeague Women games [with Prague] as I really enjoy it," concluded Vaughn.
Czech Republic will start their tournament in Hradec Kralove and have been pithed into Group A with Hungary, Spain and Ukraine.

29 August 2018 / Working Here
The Code of Conduct serves to establish guidelines on how to conduct your behavior.
We are all responsible for maintaining and developing this shared environment. We want to have a common productive, collaborative and socially responsible space.
We hope that all our community members share our views and nurture this spirit and culture in their dealings with the Status community.
This code acts as both a courtesy to the overall community and an effective way of making your interactions with other Status users mutually beneficial.
Familiarising yourself with the guidelines here is an essential precondition to your participation in our community.
This Code of Conduct governs how we behave in public or in private whenever the project will be judged by our actions. We expect it to be honoured by everyone who represents the project officially or informally, claims affiliation with the project, or participates directly.
Respect other users
Status is about showing respect and humanity for one another: the word itself captures the spirit of social esteem in a human community.We want to grow a productive and agile place that can welcome new ideas in a complex field. We wish to improve every process in every development cycle and foster collaboration between groups with very different needs, interests and skills.
We gain strength from diversity, and actively seek participation from those who enhance it. This Code of Conduct exists to ensure that diverse groups collaborate to mutual advantage and enjoyment.
Reciprocate
Nothing is more important than to show appreciation for every and anyone's contributions, no matter if big or small. We show reciprocation by saying thank-you, contributing ourselves, and paying it forward.
Our work will be used by other people, and we in turn depend on the work of others. Any decision we take will affect users and fellow team members, and we should consider them when making decisions.
When somebody leaves or disengages from the project, we ask that they do so in a way that minimises disruption to the project. They should tell people they are leaving and take the proper steps to ensure that others can pick up where they left off.
Respect the staff
Core contributors have been chosen on a specific basis to have good judgement. The staff will always attempt to implement universally peaceful solutions, but are tasked with establishing the most civil solution for the majority of the community.
Therefore, they cannot always please everyone with the decisions made. Please help out to contribute to a healthy community.
Responsibility of actions
We can all make mistakes; when we do, we take responsibility for them. If someone has been harmed or offended, we listen carefully and respectfully, and work together to resolve the problem, those involved in the project are expected to resolve disagreements constructively.
The participants in the project should be able to accept and give constructive criticism, be it positive or negative, this is how we learn to work better.
Uncivil behaviour will not be tolerated in our community. Sutton's "No Asshole Rule" has these concise pointers on the kind of behaviour that is considered uncivil:
Two tests are specified for recognition of the asshole.
1) After encountering the person, do people feel oppressed, humiliated or otherwise worse about themselves?
2) Does the person target people who are less powerful than him/her?
Their unpleasant actions are catalogued as The Dirty Dozen:
- Insults
- Violation of personal space
- Unsolicited touching
- Threats
- Sarcasm
- Flames
- Humiliation
- Shaming
- Interruption
- Backbiting
- Glaring
- Snubbing
If there's something you don't know, do ask, questions are encouraged. Nobody is expected to be perfect in this community. Many newcomers just want to get acquainted with the project, so asking questions early avoids many problems later. The project is fast paced and ever evolving, so even people that have been around a long time might have questions.
Those who are asked or answer a general question should be responsive and helpful, directing people to the appropriate forums or channels is good, but answering the question is more important.
What we work together to produce is a complex whole made of many parts, and is the sum of many dreams. Collaboration between teams that each have their own goal and vision is essential. To be efficient and effective, and for the whole to be more than the sum of its parts, each team must make an effort to understand the system as a whole.
Wherever possible, we work closely with projects in the same space and others in the Ethereum community to coordinate our efforts. We prefer to work transparently and involve interested parties as early as possible. Collaboration at all levels improves the quality of our work and we value it both internally and externally.
Discuss and Communicate
Our community values discussion, information and decisiveness. We all lead by example, both in discussion and in action.We want to encourage new participants to feel empowered to take action, to experiment when they feel like their innovation could improve the project and at times to lead.
Sometimes not all of the data is available to everyone or a consensus on how to act can't be reached, but a decision must still be made. Not every participant will always agree on everything, but once a decision is made, it should be respected, accepted and work continued to achieve the common goal.
Give credit where credit is due
Some members may be more visible than others, but good ones use their visibility to highlight the great work of others. This may be accomplished in a variety of ways not limited to rewarding community members for their efforts.
Open Source Community
We invite any- and everybody to participate in any aspect of the project. Our community is open and any responsibility can be carried by any contributor who demonstrates the required commitment, capacity and competence.
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the Status People Ops team at [email protected], or by pinging @jb or @ceri, for a confidential chat.
All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The People Ops team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
Allegations of misconduct typically require some behind-the-scenes fact checking to verify what actually happened. If you're involved in an incident of misconduct, you'll be asked for your observations and recollections of the event. People Ops will follow up with you to let you know the next steps. Depending on the severity of the misconduct, this may be a formal warning, through to immediate dismissal.

Little Fires Everywhere Short Summary
Little Fires Everywhere Summaries
Disclaimer: This work has been donated by a student. This is not an example of the work produced by our Essay Writing Service.
At the beginning of the novel by Celeste Ng, the fire burns down Richardson's house. It is Izzy, the youngest child in the family that is suspected of having caused the fire intentionally. Assessment from the fire department asserts that there are multiple areas the fire originated from. As the other children (Moody, Trip, and Lexie) watch the damages, Izzy is nowhere to be found.
The Brief Plot Overview of the Story
The narration goes back to a year earlier with the arrival of Mia and Pearl in Ohio. They lived in the property owned by Richardson. The two had been moving from one place to the next but promised they would live in one place this time around.
Moody befriends Pearl. Later, he invites Pearl to their house. Pearl finds Richardson's family fascinating, and the children are beautiful. Though Mia notices that Pearl is slowly getting fascinated by the family of Richardson, she allows Pearl to continue visiting them. They all grow to like Pearl.
At Stacy Perry's party, Pearl loses touch with Lexie, Trip, and Serena. She Calls Moodie to take her home. Later Richardson offers Mia a job. Pearl is not happy as she feels that she will ruin her relationship with the family.
When Izzy is suspended from school, she punishes the school by inserting toothpicks into school locks. Later, Izzy works for Mia as a photography assistant. A case of a photograph of Mia holding Pearl evokes many questions from the children.
When Richardson and Family attend a birthday party, Mia notices that the child adopted by the McCullough's is the same as the one Mia's former workmate Bebe left at the fire station. Mia informs Bebe about the child's whereabouts.
Bebe comes to Mia's house to inform them that she was denied access to her child when she went to the McCulloughs'. Bebe later goes to the media houses about her child and even sues the state that she wants custody of her child. When the Richardson family realizes that it is Mia that caused the drama about the child, they begin investigating her origin. The baby saga continues even after Mia's identity is exposed.
Pearl begins a relationship with Trip, which creates much drama in the family. Later, Bebe loses the case to take the baby. When everything is clear about who informed Bebe of the baby's whereabouts, Mia is chased away from Richardson's house. Izzy burns the house in retaliation and goes away.

We all know someone who's idea of a good time is hanging off cliffs. If you're looking for Christmas gift ideas for a rock climbing enthusiast, here's some unique rock climbing gift ideas. Rock Climbing Gift Ideas You can always tell a rock climber by their appearance. White chalk fingers, bleeding knuckles, bent fingers and…a grin a mile wide. Whether they are climbing in indoor climbing gyms or hanging off Half Dome in Yosemite, rock climbers are very receptive to rock climbing gifts. Here are a few gift ideas that will make you a favorite with them.
1. Rock Climbing Gym – Most metropolitan areas now have rock climbing gyms. These gyms are typically indoor areas where rock climbers can work on their techniques. Walls come in a variety of terrains and with differing holds. Membership costs range all over the place, but climbers will love the gift.
This is a particular good rock climbing gift idea for people living in big cities and who can't head off for an afternoon of knuckle crunching. 2. Climb International DVD – The Climb International DVD is a highly recommended financial planning tool for rock climbers. Why? Well, the DVD contains climbs from exotic locations such as Thailand and China. After watching the DVD, the average rock climber will suddenly start saving every penny from their paycheck, rolling nickels and generally being as cheap as possible. The goal? To save enough money to travel to these locations for a personal rock climbing adventure. The DVD can be a bit hard to find. Search for it by name on any search engine and you should be able to find it. Expect to pay roughly $20 for this mouth watering movie. 3.
Build Your Own Indoor Climbing Wall – You have to be very careful when giving this gift. This book gives step by step instructions on how to build an indoor climbing wall. This, of course, requires one to have a space in which to build said climbing wall. Basements and garages are typical locations, much to the chagrin of spouses. Personally, I wouldn't put my name on the "from" section of the gift card. You can expect to pay $10 or so for this evil little book. 4. Climbing Holds – Climbing holds are plaster molds that are put on a climbing wall. They come in all kinds of vicious shapes, which are perfect for bending fingers in truly unnatural positions. If you know someone who has built a climbing wall in their garage or house, this is a perfect gift.
Since each climbing hold is more or less unique, just pick the ones that grab your fancy. They come in a wide range of prices, so it is often best to shop by what you can afford. Helpful Tip: Look closely at the holds. If you can't imagine how a hand would possible hold onto a particular hold, that is the one to buy! 5. Nomad Rock Climbing Journals - A little self-promotion. Nomad Rock Climbing Journals are great gifts for rock climbers. These writing journals allow climbers to keep track of their climbs, impressions, people the climbed with, routes and any additional information they feel necessary. Over time, the climbing journals become a history of climbs and a great keepsake. A great Christmas gift, you can see the rock climbing journals by clicking the link in the byline of this article and expect to pay $25 for the journal with case. As you know, there is simply no way to keep a climber from climbing.
You might as well give in and give them a Christmas climbing gift.

Chelsea target Seri could flourish for Pellegrini's West Ham
by Ben Goodwin share
3 minute read 7/6/2018 | 04:46pm
According to reports, West Ham could try to hijack Chelsea's hunt for Jean Michael Seri this summer.
West Ham have "made contact" with Nice over a move for Seri, according to reports, as they look to beat Chelsea to the £35m midfielder.
Seri is keen on a move to the Premier League, and his £35m release clause has had Chelsea on red alert all summer.
The Blues are looking to strengthen their midfield this summer, as Danny Drinkwater is likely to leave the club, Cesc Fabregas has just turned 31 and Tiemoue Bakayoko had a horrid first season in London.
Seri will of course be compared to N'Golo Kante due to his stature, but the Ivory Coast international is much more attack minded than the Frenchman, and could be a valuable addition at Stamford Bridge as they look to recover from last season's disaster.
Averaging over two key passes per game this season, the 26 year-old would help Chelsea unlock deep defences with both his passing and dribbling, something they struggled with this season, but he would also face fierce competition for playing time.
Of course, Chelsea aren't even sure who their manager will be next season as links to the likes of Maurizio Sarri blow hot and cold, so the Hammers could capitalise on that uncertainty and grab Seri from under the Blues' noses.
Javier Pastore's wage demands put a halt on a deal for the PSG playmaker, so it makes sense for Manuel Pellegrini to turn to Seri, and the wiry midfielder could actually be a better fit in East London.
Perfect for Pellegrini?
Pellegrini has promised to bring a much more attacking brand of football to the London Stadium next season, and grabbing a midfielder than can carry the ball forward and unlock deep defences should be the first port of call.
At Chelsea, Seri will face competition from the likes of Kante, Fabregas and Bakayoko, but the 26 year-old can be the star of the show under Pellegrini as he enters his prime.
Seri grabbed two goals and five assists this season, but his overall impact on the game goes far beyond what the stats tell you, and if Pellegrini can get him firing behind the likes of Marko Arnautovic and Manuel Lanzini then West Ham fans could see a lot of goals next season.
Despite trying plenty of risky passes (5.3 long balls and 2.1 key passes per game), Seri boasted a 90 per cent pass success rate for Nice last season, and his set piece taking ability would be a great weapon to have as well.
£35m for a player with such natural passing ability is an absolute no brainer if Pellegrini wants to get the ball moving quickly around the huge London Stadium pitch, and the uncertainty and competition for places at Stamford Bridge would make that a much riskier career move for the 16-cap man.
So, West Ham fans, would you like to hijack Chelsea's move for Seri? Is he worth £35m? Let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll below…

There is a difference between islands and continents in terms of geology.[8][9] Continents are the largest landmass of a particular continental plate; this holds true for Australia, which sits on its own continental lithosphere and tectonic plate (the Australian plate). By contrast, islands are either extensions of the oceanic crust (e.g. volcanic islands), or belong to a continental plate containing a larger landmass; the latter is the case of Greenland, which sits on the North American plate.
One type of volcanic oceanic island is found in a volcanic island arc. These islands arise from volcanoes where the subduction of one plate under another is occurring. Examples are the Aleutian Islands, the Mariana Islands, and most of Tonga in the Pacific Ocean. The only examples in the Atlantic Ocean are some of the Lesser Antilles and the South Sandwich Islands.
Readings indicate that the seafloor off the French island's eastern shoreline is sinking at a rate of approximately 0.4 inches per month. — David Grossman, Popular Mechanics, "French Island Might Be Sitting On Top of Gigantic Underwater Magma Shift," 20 Mar. 2019 Video from the scene showed black smoke still rising from the island more than an hour after the crash. — Jeffrey Collins, Fox News, "New military jet crashes, pilot ejects in S Carolina," 28 Sep. 2018 The Cambridges reportedly embarked on their trip to Mustique, a private island in the Caribbean, in mid-July after a fan spotted them at an airport in St. Lucia. — Erica Gonzales, Harper's BAZAAR, "Prince William Is Back From Vacation with a Fresh Tan," 8 Aug. 2018 Both men saw their chance of the big time after Japanese forces attacked Shanghai's Chinese districts in 1937, leaving the international concessions as islands in a sea of panic and devastation. — The Economist, "A gripping tale of Sodom sliding towards its bloody end," 12 July 2018 Higgins arrived on the island from Nevada in March without much Spanish, but brought 40 years of management experience. — Fortune, "Puerto Rico's Bankrupt Utility Has No Leader After Pay Scandal," 12 July 2018 The heavily forested Prince of Wales Island near the southern tip of the Alaska Panhandle is the fourth-largest island in the U.S. — Time, "All 11 People on Board Survived Alaska Plane Crash, Coast Guard Says," 11 July 2018 This island is the homeland of jamu, a traditional system of health and beauty treatments based on botanical ingredients. — Jennifer Goldstein, Marie Claire, "How To Spice Up Your Skincare Routine," 18 Jan. 2019 The little island of 23 million people off China's coast is of great importance to Beijing. — Alex Ward, Vox, "Trump's China strategy is the most radical in decades — and it's failing," 18 Sep. 2018
A third type of volcanic oceanic island is formed over volcanic hotspots. A hotspot is more or less stationary relative to the moving tectonic plate above it, so a chain of islands results as the plate drifts. Over long periods of time, this type of island is eventually "drowned" by isostatic adjustment and eroded, becoming a seamount. Plate movement across a hot-spot produces a line of islands oriented in the direction of the plate movement. An example is the Hawaiian Islands, from Hawaii to Kure, which continue beneath the sea surface in a more northerly direction as the Emperor Seamounts. Another chain with similar orientation is the Tuamotu Archipelago; its older, northerly trend is the Line Islands. The southernmost chain is the Austral Islands, with its northerly trending part the atolls in the nation of Tuvalu. Tristan da Cunha is an example of a hotspot volcano in the Atlantic Ocean. Another hotspot in the Atlantic is the island of Surtsey, which was formed in 1963.
An island may be described as such, despite the presence of an artificial land bridge; examples are Singapore and its causeway, and the various Dutch delta islands, such as IJsselmonde. Some places may even retain "island" in their names for historical reasons after being connected to a larger landmass by a land bridge or landfill, such as Coney Island and Coronado Island, though these are, strictly speaking, tied islands. Conversely, when a piece of land is separated from the mainland by a man-made canal, for example the Peloponnese by the Corinth Canal or Marble Hill in northern Manhattan during the time between the building of the United States Ship Canal and the filling-in of the Harlem River which surrounded the area, it is generally not considered an island.
MacLaren and Forbes stake out a criminal transaction that becomes a shootout. MacLaren's team is directed to assist an older traveler team: the incident's survivors, whose leader, Rick Hall, reveals that the deal was the assigned transfer of a device with a Russian traveler team. MacLaren is shocked by the violence between teams and by Hall's jadedness. Hall's teammates, Carter and Luca, are both dying, but Marcy saves Luca by transfusing Carter's blood; Marcy suspects Luca is her brother due to his suffering from night terrors. Hall demands that he become the leader of a merged team, and demands MacLaren kill Forbes to prevent their exposure. MacLaren and Forbes arrest Hall and Luca, and the team transfers the device. Trevor quits football to focus on his grades, but is grounded. Ray demands more gambling information from Philip. Carly rebukes Jeff, who harasses Marcy. Carly and MacLaren sleep together.
Travelers is a Canadian-American science fiction television series created by Brad Wright, starring Eric McCormack, Mackenzie Porter, Jared Abrahamson, Nesta Cooper, Reilly Dolman, and Patrick Gilmore.[1][2] The series was an international co-production between streaming service Netflix and Canadian specialty channel Showcase for its first two seasons, after which Netflix took over as its sole production company and exclusive worldwide distributor. The show premiered in Canada on October 17, 2016, and worldwide on December 23, 2016.[3] A second season followed in 2017, and a third season was released on December 14, 2018.[4][5] In February 2019, McCormack revealed that the series had been cancelled.[6]

In 2018, four unconnected people suddenly undergo personality changes at what would have been their moments of death: Marcy, a young, intellectually disabled woman, is assaulted but fights off her attackers and is no longer impaired; high-schooler Trevor concedes a mixed martial arts fight after being overmatched; heroin-addicted college student Philip drops his syringe just as his roommate injects a fatal overdose; and young mother Carly stares down her baby's abusive father. FBI agent MacLaren tracks their subsequent communication and confronts them; they reveal that they are among thousands of time travelers sent from the future to avert a global crisis, and that MacLaren was to die that night while pursuing a murderer they have already killed; MacLaren is taken over by a fifth traveler, who happens to be the team's leader.


Nvidia discrete graphics architecture of Kepler not only affects the desktop-class platform, notebook platform, also has a great role in promoting, due to the performance impact of the Intel Core Duo processor Core graphics, Nvidia mobile level discrete graphics gradually toward high-end products and reduce mobile graphics product category, will focus on the Kepler architecture, new architecture and process technology enables a discrete graphics performance has been further enhanced, and power consumption has also been further control.

Reduce power consumption, the TSMC 28nm process also plays an important role, but at the same time reducing power consumption to enhance the performance will depend on the core architecture. Mainly refers to the The Kepler lessons Fermi on R & D experience and lessons learned in order to improve and optimize. NVIDIA is also very stressed, Kepler, a hardware unit maximizes energy than designed.
P Series is the flagship portable business series, so the smaller the size of the screen design, this fujitsu P772 12.5-inch matte display, maximum support 1366 × 768 mainstream resolution, consistent with the previous generation P771, the screen border with matte effect treatment, and feel comfortable, and effectively prevent the contamination of the fingerprints and other stains.

2012 in the first half later to the Intel's new Core Duo processor, but the major notebook manufacturers new to follow up the pace is very fast, which is still the most noteworthy super very hot for this product. Computex Taipei this year, has also become a super-pole of this stage to flex its muscles, the first-tier makers of this new super pole had been full debut. In addition, the new benchmark of a new generation of Apple Macbook Retina unprecedented high-resolution screen also re-erection of notebook products.
The touchpad design has not changed, still-in-one design of the previous generation P771 and FUJITSU Lifebook P772 Battery, uniform surface distribution of the bulge a bit like, an increase of the friction of the surface use relatively smooth. In the palm rest position to the right of the touchpad design fingerprint identification system, to provide a protective effect for the user's data security.
Steady improvement in chip maker technology, Intel, AMD and Nvidia, the Big Three continue to enhance its own deal with Core process technology, performance and optimize the type of frame structure, thanks to the support of advanced technology, end-user in the hands of notebook processing performance stronger, lower power consumption and battery life will also be further extended.
Intel is expected to have more than one hundred models of ultra-pole of this advent of the second half, when it will set off a wave of Ultrabook war, then we will see support for touch ultra extreme of this advent.
3000 - 4000 dollars or so entry-level notebook the notebook market for the mainland occupy a large proportion, laptops getting cheaper and does not leave, but the consumer's budget for the procurement of notebook also getting lower and lower people will ask in the end, a low-cost notebook How should I choose to be assured it?
Especially students in the purchase of the notebook, the first is supposed to be practical, but also is cost-effective entry-level users, followed by the appearance design, beautiful and stylish appearance allows users to feel good, and most direct themselves and others know where the money value for money spent, again, is to choose a well-known brands, after all, guaranteed in the aftermarket. Evaluation today COMPAQ Presario CQ58 is a low-cost notebooks, more accurately, a notebook for student users.
Einstein once said: "anything should be simple but not simplistic" (everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler) from the official propaganda point of view, the CQ58 is set with a meet their lifestyle notebook, the biggest feature of simple elements into X Series, is also a selling point, this is lifestyle, rather than features and configuration.
This notebook is not a large-scale release, but then for this to COMPAQ sales, enhance brand is not much help line, COMPAQ CQ58 has a 6cell and 9cell high capacity COMPAQ Presario CQ58 Battery and always been low-key approach, even the previous did not media product evaluation, but this COMPAQ apparently full of confidence in the product, and continued to stay ahead in the low-cost laptop, and continue to put pressure on opponents.
Intel will give you the beginning of every appetizer before meals "first course", this year is still a Core Duo processor processes the change of the year, the new third generation of cool wisdom within the processor architecture uses advanced 3-D three gate transistor technology, 3-D gate transistor in the case of combination of 22-nanometer process technology can guarantee the lower rate of leakage, and higher processing performance. 22-nanometer process technology in the same space so that the chip becomes smaller, combined with the new 22-nanometer process Core Graphics HD Graphics 2500/4000, compared to the SNB architecture processor IVB architecture processor with lower power and higher performance .
The third-generation Intelligent Core processor also has brought more core graphics card HD 4000, which makes a lot of focus on the gaming and mainstream 3D games users will be able to get a good experience in the support of the core graphics, which is very important improvement. The first time, core graphics support DX11, three-screen output, and parallel computing, of course, more computing units with enhanced 3D performance.
Immediately following the footsteps of Intel, AMD in the first half focusing on publishing a new generation of APU acceleration processor code-named the Trinity, starting a total of five models for mainstream notebook and ultra-thin notebook markets, AMD processor distribution re-deployment, 35W TDP, A6 and A8, A10 three models as well as higher performance for the mainstream notebook market, ultra-thin notebook market-oriented A10 and A6 two, TDP is 25W and 17W, respectively, which 25W A10 is a 4-core processors on the market first launched specifically for thin and light notebook. The new generation of APU What new technology? Trinity in Llano the basis of new technologies include: DX11 terms of enhanced surface subdivision and graphics processing performance, the TURBO the CORE 3.0 automatically overclock (GPU intelligent OC), standard support Display Port1.2 output, adding the AMD Eyefinity wide area display technology, to increase the acceleration of HD media and support for laptop battery life, AMD PowerXpress 5.0 technology.
As the TravelMate series latest product ACER5760Z equipment INTEL the IVB latest platform, using a third-generation Intelligent Core processor, it also holds an unusually powerful artifacts - NVIDIA's flagship GeForce the GTX660M independent graphics card. Powerful specification achievements in the 5760Z ultimate gaming performance, ultra-thin LED backlit screen with 15.6-inch large-size screen with Dolby-certified JBL brand audio professionals make it even more is to give its top video entertainment experience.

'I Spit On Your Grave 2' First Trailer
DVD NewsTrailers by Howard Gorman	on July 23, 2013 1 comment
Whilst Anchor Bay Entertainment tend to steer clear of sequel territory they clearly felt that 2010's rape/revenge remake I Spit On Your Grave (grossing only $570,000 worldwide) was desperately shouting out for a sequel.
None of the original cast will reprise their roles in this direct-to-DVD fare although the original helmer, Steven R. Monroe is intent on exploring further ways to terrorise a female lead and have her take care of all the men who made her suffer. Rather than having to deal with a bunch of rednecks this time the leading lady, played by Jemma Dallender, will take on a group of photographers when a photo shoot gets just a tad out of hand.
I Spit On Your Grave 2 will receive its UK premiere at the Film4 Frightfest in London next month whilst the UK DVD release date is yet to be announced.
We'll leave you with the trailer below.
What starts out as an innocent and simple photo shoot soon turns into something disturbingly unthinkable. Raped, tortured and kidnapped to a foreign country, Katie is buried alive and left to die. Against all odds, she manages to escape. Severely injured, she will have to tap into the darkest places of the human psyche to not only survive, but to exact her revenge.

#TravelTipTuesday • 🥑GROCERY SHOP🥑 • Why? • ✨Eating out every meal while traveling can be the number one budget sucker. Grocery shopping for a meal or two on a trip is a great way to cut costs! • ✨ Picking up some destination specific snacks can lead to new favourite treats that will turn into memories. • ✨ It's a great way to take in the daily life of the locals and practice some basics in whatever language is spoken there! • ✨It can take you off the beaten path to some unexpected adventures. Like in the picture above when a grocery shopping trip took us out of the tourist area near Neuschwanstein castle to the neighbouring town, Schwangau. • 🖤My Suggestion🖤 • 🥪Sandwich stuff is always really easy to assemble and the ingredients last pretty long! • 👊🏼Pro Tip: When picking veggies to add to your sandwich, try to find the driest consistency. Tomatoes will make a sandwich soggy pretty quickly and avocado will be mushy in seconds! I like to get cucumbers to add a crunch🥒 • Do you ever grocery shop while travelling? What's your go to meal for on the go travel?

Chicago Breast Cancer Organization Disappears without Notice
Ruth McCambridge
July 14, 2012; Source: WBBM-CBS Chicago
Y-Me, an organization providing support for people with breast cancer diagnoses, closed abruptly last week and now State Sen. Ira Silverstein, who participated in its fundraising race this past May (an event that reportedly involved 20,000 people and raised more than $2 million) is calling on the attorney general to open an investigation. A spokeswoman is saying that the demise of the organization involved no wrongdoing and that the situation will be laid out for all to see in bankruptcy court next week but that does not address the erosion of trust that will be caused by the closure, which, as far as we can see, happened with no public notice.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that contributions to the organization had descended from $16.7 million in 2007 to $5.2 million in 2010 and its investments were $803,204 as of June 30, 2011, as compared to $1.5 million a year earlier. Margaret Harte, who founded the group's signature event, a fundraising race, accused the group of mismanagement and said it had over-expanded. Over-expansion plus declining revenues equals "not good," but the public who supported this organization still deserves an explanation.
Adding to the problem here is the fact that this group has the same public as many other groups. The next time people are going into their pockets or to their friends for a cause, will they think twice? –Ruth McCambridge

UPDATE: Wal-Mart Pay now available nationwide
Wal-Mart press materials
Dan O'Shea
UPDATE: Wal-Mart said Wednesday that its Walmart Pay mobile payments app is now available in the more than 4,600 Wal-Mart stores nationwide. The retailer also said that Walmart Pay transactions increased 45% in the last week since it accelerated the app's rollout.
Wal-Mart continued to speed up availability of its Walmart Pay mobile payments offering, earlier this week rolling it out in 14 more states including New York, California and Washington.
The expansion comes less than two weeks after the retailer began accepting Walmart Pay in stores in 15 other states.
Wal-Mart has said more than 20 million shoppers use the QR code payment app monthly.
Wal-Mart isn't messing around, having made its mobile payments app available in stores in 29 states just in the last couple weeks, up from just a handful before the recent push.
Not that Wal-Mart hadn't been planning to do this all along, but its expansion of Walmart Pay neatly coincides with at least two other pieces of big news on the mobile payments front. First, the CurrentC mobile payments app, of which Wal-Mart was one of the backers, recently appeared to be put out of its misery while still in beta. Like CurrentC, Walmart Pay is an app that requires phones to scan QR codes at the payments terminal to complete a purchase.
Second, Apple announced that it's expanding Apple Pay to be available on the online checkout pages of several retailer websites—Wal-Mart not among the initial list of retailers aiding Apple in this expansion.
It's still early days in the mobile payments sector. It's hard to say if payments apps based on QR code scanning can thrive, even though CurrentC never made it out of the trial stage. To be fair, it may not have been the fault of the technology so much as the possibility that it's backers had their plates too full with other obligations and priorities to put much energy behind CurrentC.
Still, the expansion could be a sign that Wal-Mart is content to take its own path with its own store-branded payments app, rather than relying on a third party like Apple. Maybe Wal-Mart eventually will accept Apple Pay, but as Richard Crone, principal at Crone Consulting, recently told Retail Dive, the retailer is the one in the driver's seat during the payments evolution.
"One line of thinking is if you can get millions of customers paying with your own app that you've branded, you're in control and can continue to use that app to offer its users special incentives," Crone said. "What you've got is a great relationship builder."
