Dear East Penn Community,
I know we share the same feelings of shock, sadness, fear, and frustration in the wake of the school shooting tragedy in Parkland, Florida. While it is difficult to come up with the right words of comfort as you send your children off to school each day, please be assured that school safety is, and has always been, our number one priority. Here is what we have in place in East Penn School District.
- Student Assistance Program (SAP): a student, staff, and community referral system utilizing trained/certified professionals who identify available supports and resources for students in crisis
- Communities in Schools (CIS): a new service at EHS for the identification and referral for students suffering from mental health issues
- District Tip Line: an anonymous phone line service for those wishing to report concerns regarding drugs, alcohol, weapons, and violent or dangerous acts
- Building Level Quick Response Teams: a team of staff at each building trained to respond to emergencies
- Guidance Counselors: trained professional(s) at each building who provide services to students and families
- Outside Student Placements: students who cannot be educated in EPSD placed at facilities including Behavioral Health Association, Lehigh Learning Academy, and Allentown Learning and Achievement School
- School Resource Officer at EHS: a full-time armed police officer trained to work proactively with students and staff
- Emmaus Police Department and PA State Police: close partnerships established between police and administration, staff, students and parents at each school
- Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) Training: all district staff have been trained on strategies, guidance, and a proven plan for surviving an active shooter event
- CRASE drills: tabletop mock scenarios for staff conducted at each building during first half of 2017-18, evolving into drills for students to be conducted during second half of 2017-18
- School entrances: all doors locked after students enter in morning; access by swipe card or office "buzz-in" only
- Crisis Management Plan: posted in each classroom and office containing plans for handling many types of emergencies, including an active shooter event
- School Climate and Student Voices: strong emphasis across the district on the importance of establishing positive school climate and giving students opportunities for their voices to be heard
We are continually discussing and updating our procedures. Topics of safety and security often appear on monthly administrative meeting agendas. Building Quick Response teams meet monthly to brainstorm and update security procedures. The district constantly seeks advice from and meets regularly with law enforcement authorities. This week alone we have had numerous meetings and contacts between police and district personnel, seeking advice on school safety. Last year, a joint 4-hour workshop with PA State Police, Allentown FBI, and Emmaus Police Department was presented to all district administrators. And each year, administrators attend workshops, conferences, and seminars on school safety, bringing back valuable information used to update the district's Crisis Management Plan.
Also, district administration has discussed the recent news of possible local and national student protests and walkouts. We will neither encourage nor discourage student walkouts, nor will we prevent students from participating or discipline them if they do. Administration will facilitate any walkouts so that they are carried out in an organized and safe fashion. Administration will also be meeting with students to understand and assist with their concerns, be aware of their plans, and to offer additional ways to express their views such as letter writing and fundraising. We want any type of protest to be a positive learning experience for students. Above all, we want their voices to be heard.
Finally, parents have asked what can they do and say at home to support their children. Please feel free to share and discuss the contents of this letter. I have also included a few links to articles that may be of help.
- View Report to Parents – Helping Children Cope with Tragedy
- View Talking to Children About Violence: Tips for Parents and Teachers Website
- View N.Y. Times Article – Resources for Talking and Teaching About the School Shooting in Florida
- View N.B.C. News Article – What mental health experts say to their kids about school shootings
This is not an easy time for any of us, but please be assured that we will continue to create the safest and most positive learning environment possible for your children.

In the Oil & Gas industry, a crown block is a stationary section containing pulleys across which the drill line is threaded. This is in contrast to the traveling block, and it is the combination of these two types of blocks along with the drill line which enables the lifting of loads heavier than what a solitary line could support. Thus, a crown block is an important part of the drilling equipment arsenal aiding in geological exploration, well repair & maintenance, and overall environmental management.
Planning to lay down strategy for the next few years? Our report can help shape your plan better.
Due to the advent of natural gas fired electrical generation, gas exploration has reached record levels and this naturally becomes the chief driver for the crown block market. Newly commissioned onshore rigs have to conform to the latest EHS guidelines and the best kind of drilling equipment is necessary for this purpose. Possible threat of new entrants could however render the existing crown block model obsolete. Therein lies the opportunity for innovation in the crown block's design so as to mitigate this threat effectively.
To obtain all-inclusive information on forecast analysis of global market, request a PDF brochure here.
The technological segmentation is done on the basis of the crown block's weight which is adjusted in accordance to its desired load bearing capacity and applied pressure. The regional segmentation for this industry will be done as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World (ROW). Countries such as China, Russia, United States, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Colombia are likely to witness a surge in the demand for crown block setups.
For more actionable insights into the competitive landscape of global market, get a customized report here.
Some of the key players in the crown block market include Schlumberger, National Oilwell Varco, GE Oil & Gas, Aker Solutions, Baker Hughes, Halliburton, among others.

About the Universal Audio Apollo Twin MkII Duo Thunderbolt Audio Interface
Apollo Twin MkII is a ground-up redesign of one of the most popular audio interfaces we sell — delivering enhanced audio conversion with the tone, feel, and flow of analog recording. This 2x6 Thunderbolt audio interface for Mac and Windows features up to Quad Core processing, Unison™ technology, and the next-generation A/D and D/A conversion you've heard on hundreds of hit records.
Next-Generation Apollo A/D and D/A Conversion
Apollo Twin MkII improves upon the original Apollo Twin's gold-standard audio quality with completely redesigned A/D and D/A conversion; giving you increased dynamic range and ultra-low THD. This next-generation conversion results in breathtaking clarity, depth, and accuracy in recordings; heard on hit records by Kendrick Lamar, Coldplay, Brad Paisley, and more.
Unison Mic Preamp Emulation Technology
A Universal Audio breakthrough, Apollo Twin MkII's Unison technology gives you the genuine tone of the world's most sought-after tube and transformer-based mic preamps; including Neve,® API,® Manley,® and UA, complete with their signature impedance, gain stage "sweet spots," and component-level circuit behaviors.
Based on Apollo Twin MkII's unrivaled hardware-software integration, Unison lets you record at near-zero latency through preamp emulations like the included UA 610-B Tube Preamp, for authentic analog sound unmatched by other interfaces. Unison technology is also found on Apollo Twin MkII's front panel Hi-Z instrument input, providing dead-on impedance and gain matching for exclusive guitar and bass amp models from Fender, Marshall, Ampeg, and more.

Unlike competing interfaces, the Apollo Twin MkII powers UAD plug-ins inside all major DAWs for mixing and mastering (VST, RTAS, AU, AAX 64 format), greatly offloading the processing required from your host Mac or PC.
Built to Record: Improved Monitoring and Workflow
Apollo Twin MkII offers greatly improved monitor functionality versus the original Apollo Twin; with Mute, DIM, Mono, and ALT speaker switching. It also includes monitor remote controls and a built-in talkback mic for easy communication with talent and/or recording slate cues. These features, combined with Apollo Twin MkII's scalability, make it the new standard for professional desktop recording.
Here's What Warm Audio Say About the WA-87 Condenser Microphone
The classic '87 is arguably the most widely-used large diaphragm condenser microphone in pop recording history. Rather than base our WA-87 circuit on current incarnations of this mic, we decided to closely follow the early circuit designs that date back nearly half a century. As is true with many classic microphones, engineers who have worked with different versions of these microphones often prefer the warmer, more forgiving nature of the earlier commercially available models. The desire to re-introduce the warm tone of this classic mic at an affordable price to an all new generation of recording artists was the inspiration behind the WA-87.
Quality components make a better mic
The WA-87 features all discrete, premium components such as Fairchild FETs, tantalum, polystyrene, and WIMA film capacitors, and is rounded off with a Cinemag USA output transformer. The WA-87 proudly uses our own Lens Kondensator custom reproduction of the classic K-87 dual backplate/dual diaphragm capsule, as found in early '87
- Based on the classic "87-style" circuit.
- Microphone includes shock mount, hard mount and wood box.
- Polar Patterns: Cardioid, figure of eight, and omnidirectional.
- Capsule: Lens Kondensator LK-87-B-50V reproduction of classic dual backplate (four wire termination) K87 capsule.
- Diaphragm: 6 micron thickness, 1 inch diameter, gold sputtered membrane, NOS Japanese mylar (PET film).
- Output Transformer: CineMag USA.
- Frequency Response: 20hz - 20khz.
- SPL: .5% THD @ 125db (without pad),132db (with pad).

Famous Londoners – Jonathan Wild…
February 3, 2014
The self-styled "Thief-Taker General", Jonathan Wild was one of the most famous figures of London's underworld in the early 18th century, credited by some as being the city's first organised crime boss.
Born to a family in Wolverhampton, Wild – who had at some point undertaken an apprenticeship as a buckle-maker – was married and had a son when he first came to London as a servant in 1704 and although he returned to the city of his birth after being dismissed, he apparently abandoned his family and returned to the capital in 1708.
Little is known of the first couple of years he spent in London but records show he was arrested for debt in March 1710 and sent to Wood Street Compter where he quickly ensconced himself and was even awarded the "liberty of the gate" – meaning he could leave the prison at night to aid in the apprehension of thieves.
It was also during this period that he came under the influence of a prostitute Mary Milliner. Upon his release in 1712 – thanks to an Act of Parliament passed to help debtors – he lived with her as her husband (despite his earlier marriage – and hers) in Covent Garden.
Acting as her protector when she was on the street, Wild also branched into the business of being a fence or receiver of stolen goods and racketeering offences like extortion. In 1713, he joined Charles Hitchen to be his assistant. Hitchen, who had been suspended from his position as the City's Under Marshal thanks to his practice of extorting thieves and their victims (it's thought he may have taught Wild the craft), was then working as a thief-taker.
Wild apparently took to the new role with fervour for when Hitchen was reappointed to his post as Under Marshal, Wild parted from his company and continued his work as a thief-taker, opening his own office in the Blue Boar Tavern in Little Old Bailey.
Wild's method of operation was simple enough – he would organise thieves to steal items and then, when it was announced that said items were stolen, claimed to have found them and would return them to the rightful owners for a "reward". At the same time, he'd often also aid the police by bringing to justice thieves from rival gangs (including Hitchen's, for they were now rivals) or those of his own gang who had crossed him – and in all his dealings manage to keep at arm's length from the actual business of stealing and receiving.
By 1718, Wild – who wore a sword as a sign of his authority and had pretensions of being a "squire" – was calling himself the "Thief-Taker General of Great Britain and Ireland". It's said that more than 60 thieves were sent to the gallows on the back of his testimony including the prolific housebreaker (and jail escapee) Jack Sheppard and his associate Joseph "Blueskin" Blake (who almost succeeded in killing Wild while he was awaiting trial).
Wild's pursuit of Sheppard was the beginning of his own downfall (although authorities had as early as 1717 passed an Act of Parliament aimed squarely at ending his criminal enterprise, it seemed to have had little effect, at least initially). Sheppard's demise had been unpopular with the masses and the press of the day – and in February 1725, Wild himself was arrested for assisting in the jailbreak of one of his gang members. Other members of the gang turned against him and eventually, in May that same year, he was sentenced to death for the theft of lace.
Having unsuccessfully attempted to kill himself by drinking laudanum before his execution, Wild was hanged at Tyburn on 24th May before a large and raucous crowd which apparently included an 18-year-old Henry Fielding.
Wild was buried in secret in the churchyard of St Pancras Old Church next to his third wife (and one of his many lovers), Elizabeth Mann (she had died in 1718 and he apparently married another woman shortly after). His body was later reported to have been dug up and eventually, following the recovery of a body with a hairy chest from the Thames which was identified as being Wild's, a skeleton said to have been his was donated to the Royal College of Surgeons (it's now on display in the Hunterian Museum).
The subject of numerous articles, books and ballads, Wild's story has been since told numerous times and for varying purposes. Among them are Daniel Defoe's True and Genuine Account of the Life and Actions of the Late Jonathan Wild, published in 1725, Henry's Fielding's ironic The History of the Life of the Late Mr Jonathan Wild the Great (1743), and John Gay and John Rich's The Beggar's Opera (1728) which features the character Peachum, said to have been based on Wild.

• A landmark exhibition looking at fashion in the Tudor and Stuart eras opens at The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace, tomorrow. In Fine Style: The Art of Tudor and Stuart Fashion features everything from a diamond ring given by King Charles I to his then 19-year-old wife Henrietta Maria, an ornate set of armour which belonged to 13-year-old Henry, Prince of Wales (the older brother of King Charles I – he died of typhoid fever at the age of 19), and a diamond-encrusted box in which Queen Mary II kept black fabric patches worn to conceal blemishes or highlight the creaminess of skin. A 58.5 carat pearl, named 'La Peregrina' ('The Wanderer') and given to Queen Mary I as an engagement gift from Philip II of Spain (and later presented to Elizabeth Taylor by Richard Burton on Valentine's Day, 1969), is also among the objects on show along with a pendant featuring a miniature of Queen Elizabeth I. The exhibition also features more than 60 portraits from the Royal Collection showing the fashions of the time, including a portrait by Sir Peter Lely of court beauty Frances Stuart, Duchess of Richmond, who famously refused to become King Charles II's mistress.

After winning the NIT Championship in the 2017-18 season, the Penn State Men's Basketball team had some lofty expectations for themselves heading into 2018-19. They didn't live up to them.
The Nittany Lions had a lot of unfortunate luck and plenty of freshmen moments on their way to a 14-18 season that concluded with a gut wrenching loss to Minnesota in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament. A loss that really embodied the type of season they had; some bad officiating, bad free throw shooting, and the allowance of an insurmountable run by the opposition….but mainly bad officiating.
But moving onto a more positive note, Penn State was able to put together a very strong second half of their Big Ten Schedule, winning seven out of the last 10 contests after starting 0-10. Going on such a hot stretch to end the season does nothing but boost the confidence of such a young team.
Looking ahead to next season, the team will be without Josh Reaves who was one of the best defenders in the Big Ten for his entire four-year career. And it is yet to be known whether or not standout junior forward Lamar Stevens will stay or go, though many expect he'll declare for the NBA Draft.
What the Lions do know though, is that they will get back extremely experienced players like Jamari Wheeler and Mike Watkins; while the ultra-talented guard duo of Rasir Bolton and Myles Dread will be back with a full season of play time under their belts, and all the confidence in the world after the team's hot finish.
Along with these key returners, the Nittany Lions bring in a top-60 recruiting class that is deep with size and skill. More importantly, redshirt-sophomore guard Izaiah Brockington will finally be available to play after having to sit this season due to his transfer from St. Bonaventure.
Brockington was a 3-star guard in high school and he has NCAA Tournament experience with the Bonnies. That can play well with a team who is hungry to get there, especially if that team includes the super-talented Lamar Stevens. Izaiah hit 44% of his shots for St. Bonaventure, including a 41% clip from 3-point range.
In Pat Chambers' 9th season at the helm of Penn State Basketball, he could have one of the most complete rosters that he's ever had. Using the experience and growth of this year's late season success can pay dividends for next season. Let's all hope it does.

Redaction of your CSR's will be critical
FDA takes step in direction of EMA Policy 0070 for public disclosure of clinical data: Redaction of your CSR's will be critical.
On January 16th, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a pilot program (1,2) to evaluate whether disclosing certain content included within clinical study reports (CSRs) following approval of a NDA, improves public access to drug approval information. This looks like the first steps towards something similar to EMA Policy 0070 (3) i.e. public disclosure of documents from marketing authorisation applications.
As the FDA's release states "Scientific progress and new drug innovation don't take place in a vacuum. The exchange of information that informs decisions to undertake research, invest in new scientific endeavors, and prescribe and use certain treatments effectively are a critical part of enabling the development and dissemination of new medical technology. Transparency related to this information can play a critical role in maximizing the public health value of the resulting innovations."
Kinapse offers end-to-end Clinical Trial Disclosure services (4). Depending on your organisation's needs, we can provide advice on requirements, build our recommended capability solutions and then support delivery of any required activities. From protocol registration through to results posting, we've got your clinical team covered.
Currently, the regulatory demands our industry faces are only increasing. For instance, the recent EMA Policy 0070 is forcing companies to manually anonymize and publish clinical reports. In support of this, we have developed our redact360 solution (5), which combines our deep trial transparency expertise and an innovative technology for the redaction, anonymisation and risk assessment of clinical documents for public disclosure. For EMA Policy 0070, redact360 enables you to redefine your approach, release your resources and reduce your compliance burden.
Over the last 10 years we have completed more than 10,000 trial transparency deliverables for leading biopharmaceutical clients. Our combination of an off-the-shelf CTD solution (redact360), together with an expert team of CTD professionals, and the greatest depth of experience and track record of success in the industry, means that Kinapse is the market leader in making clinical trial information publicly available.

Mistah F.A.B., the "Crown Prince" of Bay Area Hip-Hop, returns to the forefront of the national scene with the 21-track, star-studded Son of a Pimp 2, hitting stores May 27th.
The sequel to F.A.B.'s breakthrough Son of a Pimp, released in May 2005, Son of a Pimp 2 marks the North Oakland emcee's first official studio release since 2007's Da Baydestrian.
As the Bay Area's Ambassador, Mistah F.A.B. has friendships with dozens of rappers in every region and scene in hip-hop, reflected in the absurdly strong cast of all-star guests including Kendrick Lamar, Boosie Badazz, IAMSU, E-40, G-Eazy, Too $hort, Snoop Dogg, 2 Chainz, Jadakiss, Keak Da Sneak, Raekwon, Schoolboy Q, Bun B, Slim Thug, Z-Ro, Paul Wall, Lupe Fiasco, Tech N9ne, B.o.B, Keyshia Cole, Curren$y, Devin the Dude, J Stalin and a posthumous appearance from Bay Area legend The Jacka.
The album features production from some of the best in the game, such as Pete Rock, IAMSU, P-Lo, Jake One, The Mekanix, Tha Bizness, Erk the Jerk and Juneonnabeat. As impressive as the guest list is for Son of a Pimp 2, Mistah F.A.B. did not make the album merely to show-off his massive rolodex.
Keeping true to his legacy as a sociopolitical griot, F.A.B.'s album documents social justice issues such as mass incarceration, intersections of race and class, local activism, and more. As a noted storyteller, F.A.B. also included vivid songs about love, loss, and survival.
Son of a Pimp 2 is also an inspirational reflection on how the rapper overcame a tumultuous upbringing to become an upstanding citizen in his community.

IN HIS RECENT EXHIBITION at Shanghai's new Rockbund Art Museum, Cai Guo-Qiang included, in addition to a few works of his own, the folk contraptions and bittersweet narratives of nine Chinese countryside inventors, or, as he calls them, "Peasant da Vincis." Since 2005, the artist has collected the homemade submarines and cobbled-together flying machines of these amateur engineers, and, as the collector, curator, and ranking artist of "Peasant da Vincis," he deployed their inventions throughout the newly renovated spaces of the museum in his customarily expansive and spectacular manner. Mostly variants on aircraft, watercraft, and robots, these devices coalesced under Cai's curatorship into a fanciful installation evoking a mythological dreamscape of swooping dragons, swarming dragonflies, and fleeting fish.
One of the few contemporary art museums in China explicitly devoted to socially and

Gefunden bei AutoBlog.com bzw. Motorcyclenews:
Bereitet sich BMW etwa auf eine Teilnahme bei der MotorGP vor?
Bilder und Berichte in englischsprachiger Presse lassen es vermuten.
Zitat Autoblog.com:
"…Jeremy McWilliams has been spotting testing what is said to be a 990cc GP bike. The cycle's speed are said to not be competitive with the current frontrunners, and it's just as well since the engine size limit drops to 800cc after next season. This leaves BMW's intentions a bit unclear – is this simply a science project, a step towards an effort in 2008, or will the boys from Munich actually field a ride this year or next?"
Motorcycling schreibt dazu:
"However, it shouldn't be dismissed entirely. The quality of effort that BMW is putting toward this project really is of the highest calibre. They have poached some supremely talented people, the componentry on the bike is absolutely top-spec and contemporary, right down to the Dorna TV broadcast unit, and the contract McWilliams is rumoured to be on makes him one of the best-paid riders in the world, despite not racing."
Mal schauen was da draus wird.

Ikegami Unveils HDL-57 Remote-Controlled Compact HD Camera for PTZ Use
The HDL-57 is a compact high-definition camera designed for use on remotely controlled pan/tilt heads in applications such as parliamentary television or robotic studios
Ikegami announces a new addition to its range of broadcast quality television cameras. The HDL-57 is a compact high-definition camera designed for use on remotely controlled pan/tilt heads in applications such as parliamentary television or robotic studios. It can also be used wherever a high-grade fixed-position compact camera is required for intercutting with the output from full-size studio cameras. Camera head and controller are housed in a single robust rectangular unit measuring 90 x 103 x 180 mm (width x depth x height) and weighing 1.5 kg. The HDL-57 can be operated remotely or via its rear control panel.
Three advanced 2.5 megapixel 2/3 inch CMOS sensors are employed to deliver wide dynamic range and, in principle, no smear. Each sensor incorporates active processing circuitry and delivers a digital output to the camera's digital signal processor, all in a very small device with low power consumption. The sensors are equipped with native progressive and interlace modes. 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 720/59.94p, 720/50p and 1080/23.98p are available from the camera head. 1080/23.98p output is available as an option.
Full digital processing is employed within the HDL-57, from imagers to HD-SDI output, delivering high signal integrity and high picture quality as well as stable and reliable operation. Master gain is processed through a high-grade low-noise amplifier with negative feedback. Video noise cancellation circuits deliver images of wide dynamic range even at high gain level. Specified performance parameters include F11 at 2,000 lux sensitivity, 60 dB signal-to-noise ratio and 1,000 television lines resolution in 1080i format (700 TVL in 720p format).
Among the operating features of the HDL-57 are six-position switchable gain (0 to +30 dB), six electric shutter speeds (1/100 to 1/2,000 second), four-position optical filter (100, 25, 6.2 and 1.6 per cent) and a two-position electronic colour correction filter (3,200 and 5,600 K). The optical filter wheel is motorised and can be operated from Ikegami remote control panels such as the RM-50B and OCP-300. Using these filters in combination, the camera can handle a very wide range of lighting conditions. Auto-white-balance mode is available to cover the full range of colour temperatures.
The Ikegami HDL-57 operates on 12 volt DC power (11 to 16 volts), consuming 18 watts or less. It delivers two HD-SDI outputs and has a reference signal input accepting tri-level HD sync. The camera will be demonstrated on the Ikegami stand (11.A31) at IBC2015, Amsterdam, September 11-15.

20 Apr
Just recently, a tragic accident kills the young promising actor here in the Philippines. All his fans, friends, love ones and family were shocked of what had happened. They are on their way to go home when the accidents happened. Sadness filled the faces of those people who knew him and love him. Too young to die, but it is an accident and it is out of our control as human beings. Everything happens for a reason, and that reason that only God knows. Though he passed away so young, he will remain alive in his love ones heart.
Indeed he will remain alive because his cornea will be donated to most needy individual. Out of the goodness of his family's heart, they will donate his cornea. It is so noble act to help others and give those precious eyes of their son to other people. For the last minute of his life, he was able to give happiness to other people. His death is so sudden and makes us all sad, but it is a blessing to other for his cornea will give bright future to the recipient of his cornea. Praise the Lord for his cornea will change the life of those recipients. They will have a better and bright future ahead.

My work ranges across the full spectrum of Private Client work, including everything from trusts to Powers of Attorney and estate administration, including advising people about disputed estates.
I qualified as a solicitor in 2000 after studying at DeMontfort University, Leicester. I specialise in Private Client work, advising clients on their personal affairs. My clients are often business owners or retired professionals with reasonably complex affairs that require bespoke solutions in relation to both their Wills and personal tax planning. I work closely with our Commercial and Corporate teams at BPE to advise business owners who may be considering re-organising their business interests to ensure that this is done in a tax efficient way.
I also offer advice about protection of those interests, to include 'business wills' making sure that the right people will be making decisions in the event of the client being unable to do this himself for whatever reason. A large part of my work is advising clients about inheritance tax planning and protection to enable them to take control of their affairs so their wealth and assets are preserved for their family and the next generation.
Our Private Client team can make the process of drafting a Will as easy as possible, guiding you through any technical or difficult issues with care and sensitivity.
You can begin the process by filling in this Will Questionnaire and one of our team will be in touch

7.20.17: Your morning briefing
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Welcome to the PaymentsSource Morning Briefing, delivered daily. The information you need to start your day, including top headlines from PaymentsSource and around the Web:
Card brands want quick action in China: American Express, Mastercard and Visa are all preparing to submit requests for licenses to operate in China within months, reports Reuters, which adds it may still be a long time before the networks can do business in China. The U.S. card brands will have to pass a security review, face other regulatory hurdles and overcome a business and political culture in China that has been inconsistent in how welcoming it will be to foreign financial companies. Visa and Mastercard have long wanted to do business in China, and the government in 2015 said it would open its borders to the companies, bowing to pressure from the World Trade Organization that dates to 2012. But China has not given a clear path to the card networks beyond general rules that would require the companies to make substantial investments and have a local presence inside the country. In May, the U.S. and China agreed that more detailed guidance would come this summer, and Reuters reports that guidance has been issued, citing unnamed sources. Visa, Mastercard and American Express could challenge UnionPay, though they would face an uphill battle given UnionPay's government-backed monopoly over the Chinese credit card market.
No more interchange cap workarounds in the U.K.: British regulators have outlawed card surcharges, where consumers can be charged up to 20% extra for card payments, The Guardian reports. The government is responding to industries that are charging extra "processing" or "handling" fees for cards to get around interchange fees of up to 3% for credit cards and 2% for debit cards. While most companies are absorbing these costs, some, such as movie chains and airlines are levying the extra charges. In an interview with The Guardian, the consumer group Which? said the ending of surcharging was "long overdue" and added, "Previous action to protect consumers from excessive card surcharges has been difficult to enforce, leaving consumers paying over the odds just for paying by card. These new rules will finally put an end to this unfair practice." Other consumer groups warned industries may respond by raising general prices for goods.
A bad day for Brits who mislead consumers: In another move designed to thwart stealth costs to consumers, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority is warning banks and other currency conversion companies they will face penalties that mislead consumers on rates, reports the Financial Times. The FCA said that despite government warnings, some providers still have tools on their site which convert currency at the interbank rate, a practice that gives consumers the misleading impression that the displayed rate is the one they will receive, rather than the worse consumer rate they will likely get. Consumers are left with the impression these interbank rates are available to them, and often don't find out until it's too late to shop for another currency exchange provider.
Don't 'Venmo' strangers: A week after reports came out that lots of people confess to using Venmo to pay for drugs, the social transfer service unwittingly finds itself in the middle of another odd payment trail. The Verge reports Venmo was used as part of a film equipment theft ring in Los Angeles. The crooks targeted victims on Facebook Marketplace who are looking to sell camera or video equipment. The cash came in small installments instead of a large payment, from a group called "Andy Mai," which insisted victims receive payments via Venmo. The scammer asks the victim to show up with the camera for the exchange, and Venmo subsequently blocked the transfers to the victim's account because of a violation of Venmo policies regarding an exchange of payments for goods. The scammer then escapes with the equipment. The Verge reports at least $20,000 worth of equipment has been stolen in this manner. Venmo told the technology news site that it's designed for payments between groups of friends and people who trust each other—and people should not use Venmo to pay or people they don't know.

Alibaba rewrites its e-commerce playbook
Reuters | Thu Jul 20, 2017 - China's e-commerce giant is abandoning its unique selling point. Alibaba is trumpeting a push into bricks-and-mortar shopping. It's not alone but the stakes are particularly high for the $392 billion giant led by Jack Ma as it marks a reversal of the asset-light model which fuelled its extraordinary profitability. Ma's so-called "New Retail" strategy envisions marrying two worlds. The basic idea is that Alibaba will now build some of its own test stores from scratch and upgrade existing brick-and-mortar shops in partnership with established retailers to make them more efficient in both online and offline sales.
Payments firm Ingenico to buy rival Bambora for 1.5 billion euros
Reuters | Thu Jul 20, 2017 - French payments specialist Ingenico is to buy rival Bambora from Nordic Capital for 1.5 billion euros ($1.7 billion), the latest in a series of deals in the sector. The acquisition of Stockholm-based Bambora, which had gross revenues of 202 million euros in 2016, would lift Ingenico's earnings and lead to synergies, Ingenico said in a statement on Thursday. Payments firms have become targets for credit card companies and banks seeking to capitalize on a switch from cash transactions to paying by smartphone or other mobile devices.
One-third of card payments contactless
BBC | Thu Jul 20, 2017 - More than a third of all card payments are now contactless, according to new figures. Trade association UK Finance said 33% of all spending on plastic was settled with a tap instead of a swipe in May, almost double that of last year's 18%. There was a particular rise in travel-related purchases, such as foreign currency exchanges and airport terminals. A total of £4.5bn was spent through contactless payments in May. Total plastic card spending was £57.2bn on both credit and debit cards. Compared with last May, people spent more on debit cards at £40.6bn, up from £37.9bn the year before. Credit card purchases increased to £16.6bn from £15.2bn.

An upcoming exhibit will highlight the relationship between dogs and their older owners.
Mount Saint Vincent University researcher Dr. Ardra Cole's "Grow Old Along with Me: The Meaning of Dogs in Seniors' Lives" will debut this weekend in Musquodoboit Harbour, the first of five locations.
"It's an exhibit of photographs taken over a long period of time," she explained. "The photographs are of older adults and their dogs ... just doing regular day-to-day things."
For the project -- which has been in development for two years -- her research team spent time with 14 people and their pets, taking photos and listening to their stories.
She hopes the public will be able to see how meaningful and important the relationship is between seniors and their canine companions, so communities can start focusing on how to maintain them for as long as possible.
Cole is also the founder of ElderDog, a national non-profit organization which helps older dogs find homes, helps seniors care for their dogs, and helps find new homes for dogs when older owners can no longer care for them.
She came up with the idea for the charity while working with people who were caring for family members with Alzheimer's disease.
"Through that research I came to learn a lot about the role of the family dog in the care team, not only for the ill family members, but also their caregivers."
She explained those with dementia can have difficultly making connections with humans, but it's easier with dogs.
"Dogs do not judge," she said. "In a lot of cases, people who have dementia are always in a position of having to try to make themselves understood -- and feeling less than able to do that in most cases -- but with a dog, a dog doesn't care."
None of the people featured in Cole's project are Elderdog participants; the seniors are all healthy and living independently with their dogs.
Everyone is welcome to come out to the five public exhibits -- including dogs -- the sites selected are pet-friendly.
"Grow Old Along with Me: The Meaning of Dogs in Seniors' Lives" will be in the following locations:

NEWARK, N.J. -- The Carolina Hurricanes went into the Christmas break feeling good about themselves after a win over the Boston Bruins on Dec. 22. The New Jersey Devils made their return to work a triumphant one Thursday by beating the Bruins.
Now the task for two of the teams on the outside looking in of the Eastern Conference's playoff picture is to figure out how to play all the time like they did against the Bruins.
The Devils and Hurricanes will each be looking to build some consistency Saturday afternoon, when New Jersey hosts Carolina at the Prudential Center.
Both teams resumed play Thursday, when the Devils defeated the host Bruins, 5-2, and the visiting Hurricanes fell to the Washington Capitals, 3-1.
The Devils (13-16-7) are looking to win consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 13-15 and only the second time since opening the campaign with four straight victories. If New Jersey is to build a winning streak, it will require the type of formula head coach John Hynes saw on display against the Bruins.
"Our recipe to be good is we got a great performance in goal, our special teams were both very good and we had a real detailed, gritty, cohesive, systematic 5-on-5 game," Hynes said following practice Friday. "And that's what we need to do to win."
The Hurricanes (15-16-5) have also struggled to string together victories. Carolina is 4-8-2 since its most recent set of back-to-back wins and has just three winning streaks all season.
On Thursday, the Hurricanes failed to build on their pre-break win over the Bruins in a sluggish loss to the defending Stanley Cup champion Capitals. Carolina recorded just eight shots apiece in the first and second periods and went 0-for-4 on the power play.
"I think we just weren't ready to go like we needed to be," Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour told reporters following the game. "That's on me. I saw it and talked about it, but I should have done something different. I don't know what, but we were not ready to go like we needed to be against that team at this time of the year."
MacKenzie Blackwood and Petr Mrazek, each of whom started at goalie for the Devils and Hurricanes on Thursday, are likely to be in net again Saturday for their respective teams.
Blackwood, a 22-year-old rookie, earned his first NHL win Thursday, when he made 40 saves. Blackwood, who has made four appearances and two starts, has never faced the Hurricanes.
Mrazek took the loss Thursday after stopping 30 shots against the Capitals. He is 4-1-0 in six career appearances against the Devils.
A pair of key Devils players, left wingers Taylor Hall and Marcus Johansson, will miss Saturday's game. Hall didn't play Thursday due to a lower body injury while Johansson, who is on injured reserve, has been sidelined the previous two games due to an upper body injury.
Hurricanes defenseman Hayden Fleury, who hasn't played since Dec. 13 due to a concussion, skated with his teammates Friday. His availability for Saturday is uncertain. Carolina may also be without center Jordan Staal, who was out the previous two games with an upper body injury.

As we celebrate Enterprise Holdings' 60th anniversary, we're going back in time to revisit some of the company's key milestones.
Did you know that it was during our second decade in business that one of our entrepreneurial managers pioneered our trademark "We'll pick you up" service?
2017 marks our 60th anniversary, so we're taking the opportunity to explore some of the key milestones in our history. Did you know it was only in our second decade that we came up with our now trademark "We'll pick you up" service?
During its second decade, Enterprise continued to grow, expanding beyond its hometown St. Louis roots and beyond its core car rental and leasing business.
Focusing on neighbourhood locations and the needs of local renters, the company opened offices in Kansas City, Atlanta, Houston and key markets in Florida – in fact, it was in Orlando that an entrepreneurial manager pioneered our trademark "We'll pick you up" service which was quickly adopted throughout our operations.
After surviving the energy crisis and its lingering effects on the auto business, the company sought ways to diversify into non-automotive areas – acquiring a hotel/motel in-room coffee service operation and a Mexican food business. Here are some highlights from this decade.
Join us on our Graduate Programme and you'll not only benefit from 60 years of history, but you'll get a real chance of influencing how successful we are in the future. Browse all our graduate jobs, internship and customer service roles. We even have home working positions available across the UK.
This blog originally appeared on the Enterprise Holdings website. Enterprise Holdings is Enterprise Rent-A-Car's parent company.
When you apply for an internship at Enterprise don't expect to make coffee, they've got more important things for you to learn and experience.
Networking is a great way to find a graduate job. If you are attending an event for the first time, here's a simple plan of action.
