Biller companies are struggling to create optimal payments environments in a rapidly changing payments landscape which is creating incremental risk and impacting costs that payments professionals must understand to succeed.
3 Point Alliance, a leading remittance payments solutions provider, has released a white paper aimed at helping treasury and other payments professionals leverage best practices for managing payments, compliance, risk and costs. In other words, this whitepaper is going to help you build optimal payments environments.
2. Compliance with an increasingly complex regulatory environment impacting risk profiles and costs.
This paper details market challenges and discusses some of the key optimization practices billers would use to maintain a competitive edge in a bill payments landscape marked by explosive growth and innovation.
"Accelerated technological change in the payments arena is driving billers to seek payments strategies that holistically align with business and marketing objectives combined with a changing payments landscape. Increasingly billers conclude outsourcing the payments function – which our new white paper explores – can streamline the payments function, reduce risk, and more effectively manage burgeoning compliance issues," said Gary Smith, national sales director at 3 Point Alliance.
This white paper describes what to look for in a payments provider and offers strategies for framing the payments outsourcing business process to control costs, reduce risk, manage compliance issues, and free up resources to respond to new marketplace opportunities.

Art Rocks
On 31 August, Art Rocks 2016 began: a national music competition in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Tropenmuseum, Kröller-Müller Museum, Drents Museum and Museum Het Valkhof. Together with the Grote Prijs van Nederland (music awards), the museums challenge musicians to write a song inspired by icons from their museum collections. In 5 preliminary rounds, the musicians perform live in the presence of the masterpiece they selected. The best acts go through to the final in the Paradiso music venue. In addition to the music competition, the museums offer a varied side programme with, for instance, a masterclass by Art Rocks ambassadors Giovanca and performances by Cata.Pirata (Skip & Die).
Final in Paradiso
50 artworks from various periods, styles and disciplines have been selected for this third edition of the Art Rocks music competition. Take inspiration from works by masters such as Van Gogh, Mondriaan, Andy Warhol, Rembrandt and Picasso. You can see the artworks at artrocks.nl , or visit the museum yourself! From the best entries, 50 acts will be selected by a professional jury and through public voting. These acts will compete in the museum, in front of their favourite artwork, for a place in the final. All the finalists win their own professional music video and a studio recording at Red Bull Studios Amsterdam. The winner of Art Rocks 2016 in Paradiso takes home a cash prize of € 1.000.
Ambassadors Giovanca en Cata.Pirata
Singer Giovanca and Skip & Die frontwoman Cata.Pirata also wrote their own numbers, inspired by Madonna (Roy Villevoye) and The Mandrill (Oskar Kokoschka) respectively. The ambassadors are also included in the jury and the varied side programme organized in the museums: including songwriting masterclasses by Giovanca, and performances with the artworks. The Kröller-Müller is organizing a masterclass with Giovanca on 1 October. More info and entry
You can listen to Giovanca's and Cata.Pirata's song below:
About Art Rocks

Q: Seeing "render is not a function" when trying to use Context API I'm trying to learn the Context API, and what I want to achieve, is showing the Logged In user in my header, as well as manipulate my menu options based on the logged in state (Is it safe to store 'isAuthenticated' in state?)
My context class:
import React from 'react';

const Context = React.createContext();

export class Provider extends React.Component {

    state = {
        isAuthenticated: true,
        user: {
            name: "Joe Smith",
            email: "joe.smith@here.com"
        }
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <Context.Provider value={this.state}>
                {this.props.children}
            </Context.Provider>
        )
    }
}

export const Consumer = Context.Consumer;

So, extremely basic. Sets up a state, and in some child components later, I want to display the chaps name.
My App.js is the using 'Provider', so that all my components have access to this data:
import React from 'react';
import { HashRouter , Route, Switch } from 'react-router-dom';
import Home from './components/home';
import Header from './components/header';
import Accounts from './components/accounts';
import Reports from './components/reports';
import Login from './components/login';
import {Container} from 'reactstrap';

import { Provider } from './context';

function App() {
  return (

      <Provider>
        <HashRouter>

          <Container>
            <Switch>
              <Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
              <Route exact path="/accounts" component={Accounts} />
              <Route exact path="/reports" component={Reports} />
              <Route exact path="/login" component={Login} />
            </Switch>
          </Container>
        </HashRouter>
      </Provider>

  );
}

export default App;

So in this case, 'Header' needs access to my context.
My Header will show a menu (which, based on some info I'll add to the context, will show or hide options, login buttons etc).
Under the menu, I want to show a small info bar. Logged in user name, for example. So, my header class looks like this:
import React from 'react';
import Menu from './menu';
import InfoBar from './infobar';
import { Consumer } from '../context';

class Header extends React.Component {

    render() {
        const menuStyle = {
            paddingBottom: "5px"
        }

        return(
            <Consumer>

                    {value => {
                        console.log(value);
                        return (

Test

                        )
                    }}
                    <Menu  />
                    <InfoBar />

            </Consumer>
        )
    }
}

export default Header;

But the problem now happens. When I run my code, it compiles and runs, but right away, I get a runtime error:

TypeError: render is not a function updateContextConsumer
  C:/Storage/Scratch/ReactApp/accufinance/node_modules/react-dom/cjs/react-dom.development.js:16082

I read something about returns and multiple children, but my code seems to not have that issue. Any assistance with understanding the issue and where the problem is happening would be great. If I comment out the code in 'header', no error... but... no screen either. It seems to be occuring in the  area.

A: The Context Consumer uses a render prop, specifically a function as a child component, so it expects its immediate child to be a function (not a component). In your case, you can just move the div inside the function:
<Consumer>
  {value => {
    console.log(value);
    return (

Test

        <Menu />
        <InfoBar />

    )
  }}
</Consumer>

Render props are really powerful for when you want to expose a component's internal state to its children, but when you also want to use it with different types of children.
The pattern is like this:
class Parent extends Component {
  state = { name: 'Mike' }

  handleChange = (e) => this.setState({ name: e.target.value })

  render() {
    // Here's the main difference: We expect `children` to be
    // a function, and we pass name in as the argument
    return children(state.name);
  }
}

const InputChild = props => <input value={props.name} />

const HeaderChild = props =>
{props.name}

const App = () => {
  return (
    <Parent>
      {name => {
        // We could easily swap in `HeaderChild` here (or
        // anything else!), passing `Parent`'s internal
        // state.name to it instead:
        <InputChild name={name} />
      }
    </Parent>
  )
}

This is what makes Context work, because the Consumer doesn't have any knowledge of the components in its children, but it can expose its state (which is the value from the Provider).
The React docs have a great section on render props: https://reactjs.org/docs/render-props.html

A: If You're Using Functional Components and using useContext with createContext You Might Forget To add 'Provider' before rendering like myContext.Provider In My Case I Usually Forgets .Provider and writes only <myContext></myContext> instead i've to do this... <myContext.Provider></myContext.Provider>

Richard Walkus, a Madison, N.J., man who has a website devoted to Aibo, concurs. "They lost something," he said of Sony. "They lost stature."
Richard Walkus, who with his wife, Grace, owns four Aibos and runs the popular Aibo-Life.org Web site, says he has noticed a falloff in daily visits to the site and in new listings on its birth and adoption registry. He says there were fewer people, too, at last year's East Coast Aibo Lovefest Shindig, which he and his wife organize near their New Jersey home.
Walkus believes the weak economy has dimmed Aibo sales and travel to Aibo events but not owner enthusiasm for the machines. Still, he says chat forum postings reflect concern whether Sony's support for the Aibo line will remain strong.
Which is no surprise to Walkus. "It's more than a computer. It's not a pet, of course," he says. "But the ability of this thing to call for response and attention somehow builds an emotional bond."
"It was a very stiff legal position Sony took without regard to how it will affect the Aibo community," said Richard Walkus, a publishing house employee from Madison, N.J., who owns two Aibo robots but is now putting any new Aibo orders on hold. "Sony is to some degree undermining its own success."
"Aibo is an exciting toy, but Aibopet's enhancements kept the excitement going," said Richard Walkus, an Aibo owner. "He's made tools to see what mood Aibo was in, or set it in different life stages, or have better wireless communications. There are tools to see in real time what Aibo sees, and vital signs, emotions, mood, voice recognition. Those were enhancements riding on top of Sony's Aibo that Aibopet created."
But the key thing to remember about Aibopet's stuff, Walkus said, is that all of his programs were enhancements to existing Sony software; and to use it, Aibo owners had to purchase the original software from Aibo.
"My whole household is running on Sony electronics," Walkus said. "Now I will think about options. As far as Aibo is concerned. I'm hoping for some resolution -- but with time it will become just a toy rather than an ongoing project."

Bolton agree England U21 striker deal!
Bolton Wanderers have agreed a fee o sign Watford striker Marvin Sordell. Sordell was due to play in tonight's game against Millwall but was withdrawn by Watford's owner.
The young stiker has scored 9 goals in 24 appearences this season and is expected to complete his transfer to Bolton tonight. The deal would be a great move for Bolton especially since Kevin Davies is still being targeted by Sunderland.
Bolton Wanderers have secured a deadline day deal for young Arsenal winger Ryo Myaichi, who will spend the rest of the season at the Reebok Stadium.
Bolton secure USA International defeder deal!
Bolton take on 45 goal French star!
Bolton Wanderers have taken French star Seb Le Toux on trial at the Reebok. Currently signed with Philadelphia in the USA, the 28 year old striker would not have any work permit issues and could play for Bolton as soon as this weekend. Le Toux has been training with Bolton Wanderers for the past week and could secure a permanent move to the Reebok.
The striker has been directly involved in 45 goals since 2010 - scoring 25 himself and helping his team mates by assisting for a further 20.
News is filtering through that Chelsea have finally managed to thrash out an acceptable deal with Bolton defender Gary Cahill. The centre back's personal terms and demands were believed to be the sticking point in finalising a deal. Manchester United reportedly rejected an approach from Cahill's agent and since then things have kicked up a notch with the Stamford Bridge Club.
It is thought that Cahill has (or will) sign a 5 year deal with Chelsea in the next 24 hours. The deal is thought to be worth in the region of £7 million to cash strapped Bolton Wanderers. Cahill also wants a multi million signing on fee.

Prop. 47 Has Not Caused a Rise in Crime, Says Stanford Study
By Law Offices of Virginia L. Landry, Inc.
Many law enforcement officers have blamed a rise in crime in many California counties on Proposition 47, which allowed thousands of inmates convicted of certain non-violent felony crimes to be eligible for a reduction in charges and an early release. A study by Stanford Law School, however, disagrees that the inmates that have been released are to blame.
For example, in San Francisco, only 20 inmates were released after they were deemed not to be a threat to public safety. These individuals had previously been convicted of now-misdemeanor crimes including non-violent thefts or simple drug possession. According to the San Francisco Police Department, the city is now facing a rise in auto and home burglaries, neither of which have been affected by Prop. 47 and which are still considered felony crimes.
The Stanford study has found that so far, out of the 4,454 individuals released under Proposition 47, only 159 have been arrested for new crimes. While they agree that the long-term effects of Prop. 47 remain to be seen, they have concluded that it is highly unlikely that the crime spike was caused by releasing people whose crimes are now considered misdemeanors. According to District Attorney George Gascon, who co-authored the measure, it must be remembered that crime trends are always shifting. Other parts of the country are also experiencing spikes in crime, and they certainly are not affected by Prop. 47.
Since the enactment of the law over one year ago, California is slated to save an excess of $150 million on prison spending this year, which can then be applied to mental health services by the middle of next year. According to the study, not only has the law saved the state money, but it will also mean that there will be over 3,000 less incarcerations per year.

Q: Как добится вызова по цепочке функций объектного типа возвращающие SELF? Хочу добится вызова функций по цепочке, как например в C++ или Java. То есть, чтобы функции объектного типа вернули SELF. И тогда можно было бы связать эти вызовы по цепочке. Что-то вроде:
result := objType(1).setValue(2).addValue(1).printf();

Пробовал вернуть тот же тип, но так не работает. Самый упрощённый пример:
create or replace type objType as object (
    val int, member function addValue (val int) return objType)
/
create or replace type body objType as
    member function addValue (val int) return objType is
    begin
        self.val := self.val + val;
        return self;
    end;
end;
/

Выводит такую ошибку:
LINE/COL ERROR
-------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
4/14     PLS-00363: expression 'SELF.VAL' cannot be used as an assignment target

Как такое можно реализовать?

A: В функциях первый параметр всегда ссылка на сущность объектного типа SELF. Причём, если она не указана явно, то по умолчанию её режим IN, то есть константная ссылка, о чём и упомянуто в ошибке.
Изменить режим на OUT в этом случае не поможет, так как нельзя изменять сущность объекта пока она не присвоена переменной.
Единственное решение, в функции создать копию на SELF и вернуть её как результат.
Вот результат рабочего примера (код реализации ниже):
select listmaker (tokenList ('abc','def')).pad ('>>','<<').join () result
from dual
/

RESULT
----------------
>>abc<<; >>def<<

Реализация:
create or replace type listmaker as object (
    tokens tokenList,
    constructor function listmaker (tokens tokenList) return self as result,
    member function pad (lval char, rval char) return listmaker,
    member function join (delimiter char := '; ') return varchar2
    )
/
create or replace type body listmaker as
    constructor function listmaker (
        self in out listmaker, tokens tokenList) return self as result is
    begin
        self.tokens := tokens;
        return;
    end;
    member function pad (lval char, rval char) return listmaker is
        my listmaker := self;
    begin
        for i in 1..my.tokens.count loop
            my.tokens(i) := lval||my.tokens(i)||rval;
        end loop;
        return my;
    end;
    member function join (delimiter char := '; ') return varchar2 is
        ret varchar2 (32767);
    begin
        for i in 1..tokens.count loop ret := ret||tokens(i)||delimiter;
        end loop;
        return rtrim (ret, delimiter);
    end;

Q: Multiple ports for the SAME rails app I'm trying to figure out a means of deploying my RAILS app (rails 3.2, apache, passenger). The app has two distinct means of communication.

*

*Users connect to our https site as is usual for a rails app. This is signed by a standard commercial CA.

*Automated machines connect to our site and use client certificate authentication and retrieve data. This is all managed by our own CA and certificates.

At the moment i am not considering balancing, the app will run on one machine.
I cannot combine the two methods using optional certificate checking on 443 as this would impact other apps running on the same apache instance so I believe i require two seperate ports for the app.
How should i go about managing this? Can apache be configured to point to the same application through seperate vhosts (possibly via proxying to passenger standalone)? Should i be looking to break my application into two seperate applications with some shared library or engine? Should i just deploy twice pointing to the same DB (how would this affect caching)?
Is there a better way to distinguish between connection ports than checking for the client cert and if so assume an automated connection?
I'm also interested in both hacks to get it to work quickly as well as the correct rails way to architect something like this.
Thanks

A: In your rails app, if you're looking to have behaviour conditional on the request type, you can add a little helper method like this:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  def api_request?
    request.port == 443
  end
end

Then in your other controllers:
class UserController < ApplicationController
  def index
    @users = User.all
    if api_request?
      render :json => @users.to_json
    else
      render :action => :index
    end
  end
end


Your business plan is basically an instruction manual for your business. It describes who you are, why you are there, what you do and how you will do it. As such it is both a vital tool for securing funding and financing as well as being a live, working document.
Your plan needs to be carefully put together to ensure it is logical, clear and comprehensive and outlines your objectives, operations, risks and finances, leaving the reader in no doubt as to who you are and what you are trying to achieve.
At Social Firms Wales we have been producing business plans with our clients for many years. They have been very well received by funders, banks, stakeholders and clients and have been successful in securing grants and loans from a number of sources. We work closely with our clients throughout the development process to ensure that their business plan is a true reflection of their goals and ambitions. We have worked hard to develop a framework business plan with social aims that combines stark business concepts with a strong social focus and believe our plans strike the right balance between being well researched, business-like and relevant, and being succinct, clear and readable.


No Bay games for well over a month and then two arrive in the space of a few days. Gone was the optimism of the previous game but the Boy Mark and I, joined by Coventry Neil, still set off for an afternoon in the East End of Newcastle.
The phrase "Bang goes your mangoes get Martin's windows" made about as much sense as us taking this trip together in the hope of collecting three points.
For starters it looked like Shanks, replaced by new-boy Kane, had paid the price for the defeat on Tuesday night and didn't look like a happy bunny as he took his place on the bench before the game. Lumsden also found himself on the bench as he swapped places with Laws.
For the first few minutes it looked like the switches had inspired the whole team, especially Norris who found himself the freedom of the right wing.
Chris Youlden blasted over from one of Chuck's pinpoint crosses then, after finding himself some space in the penalty area. Both his shot and rebound were saved.
But when Benfield came into the game, it became a midfield battle on a boggy pitch that just got wetter as the rain continued to fall.
On the touchline, the dynamic duo shouted their orders as the team worked their socks off.
I think they were some of the phrases...but as hard as the team worked they didn't seem happy and as they tried to arrange and rearrange the team's positions on the pitch it didn't look like there was going to be anything to show for their efforts.
Jennison, was called into action when Benfield's Taylor bore down on goal. Luckily, he skied his shot. The Bay keeper was soon called into action again and this time saved the Bay after coming on top in a 1 on 1.
With the half-time whistle looming, the Bay had an amazing bit of luck. Youlden's shot seemed to bounce off a Benfield player's backside and loop into the Benfield net.
Half time refreshments and no chip butties at all!
The goal seemed to give Whitley belief in themselves, or was it the dynamic duo's half time team talk? They dominated the second half. Norris had a game in complete contrast to the one he had against Norton. Although the defence still looked a little shaky, the lads finally looked good going forward. They were almost rewarded when Bell's shot was saved but Kempster's deft chip was also stopped.
The Bay, however were not to be denied and when Kane rolled the ball calmly across the eighteen yard line, Chuck completed his afternoon with a perfect first-time strike that zipped into the net. Paddy's first reaction was to berate the defence for something or other before finally congratulating Chuck. Is there really no pleasing him?
Foalle came on for Kane and the chances continued to come and go, with Kempster forcing the home keeper into a one-handed save. A third goal looked imminent but then the tables were turned when Flynn sliced a cross past Jennison and suddenly the roles were reversed. The Bay were hanging on. The situation was made even more nerve-racking by Neil's constant cries of "this is going to be a goal" whenever Benfield attacked and he was finally told to shut up when he called out "Hand ball!" along with the home management and supporters. Too honest by far that lad!
A certain goal was then cleared off the line by the Bay defence and we breathed again with the home fans screaming the ball was over the line. Into the final minute and another moment of panic as Jennison dropped the ball in the penalty area but luckily he recovered in time. Apart from that scare he had performed well.
At last a victory for Paddy's boys.
On the touchline, Paddy decided to have a go at the ref, instead of the players, as we all waited for the final whistle. A priceless moment came in the very last minute of added time when Paddy barked his instructions to one player at the same time as another player was telling the referee what he thought of his latest decision. The roars of laughter in the stand behind Paddy did not go down well with the Bay supremo. But we thought it was funny.

Q: How to specify additionalProperties with l5-swagger I am trying to write OpenAPI documentation for a project (written with Laravel) and struggling with several API points.
One returns
{
    "active_options": {
        "1": {
            "name": "name1",
            "type": "type1"
        },
        "2": {
            "name": "name2",
            "type": "type2"
        },
        "3": {
            "name": "name3",
            "type": "type3"
        }
    },
    "server": {
        "url": "URL...",
        "settings1": "value"
    },
    "message": "Server settings retrieved."
}

I am struggling with how to write this annotation with l5-swagger plugin.
The "1", "2", "3" are optional and any combination of them is valid.
I wanted to use optionalProperties, but I don't know how to combine them together.
This is the closest I got:
     *   @OA\Response(
     *     response=200,
     *     description="Settings",
     *     @OA\JsonContent(
     *       @OA\Property(property="options",
     *         @OA\Items(
     *            @OA\Property(property="name", type="string"),
     *            @OA\Property(property="type", type="string")
     *         )
     *       ),
     *     )
     *   ),

But the sample generates this:
{
  "options": [
    {
      "name": "string",
      "type": "string"
    }
  ]
}

Which obviously is missing the "1": ... part.
Maybe a better question would be how to do unnamed properties?

A: This is my solution:
    /**
     *
     * @OA\Schema(
     *     schema="ExampleResponse",
     *   @OA\Xml(name="ExampleResponse"),
     *   @OA\Property(property="message", type="string", example="My solution."),
     *   @OA\Property(property="errors", type="object",
     *     @OA\AdditionalProperties(type="array",
     *       @OA\Items(
     *          @OA\Property(property="name", type="string"),
     *          @OA\Property(property="type", type="string")
     *       )
     *     )
     *   ),
     * )

     *
     */

The Battle of Santiago
Posted by: Andy Dalziel February 7, 2021
The most stupid, appalling, disgusting and disgraceful exhibition of football, possibly in the history of the game".
Those were the words used by British commentator David Coleman to describe the group game between the hosts Chile and Italy in the 1962 World Cup.
It has become known simply as the "Battle of Santiago".
Chile had been awarded the World Cup in 1956 but preparations for the tournament were severely disrupted by an earthquake in 1960, the worst ever recorded in human history. It meant that their infrastructure had been severely damaged, with some foreign reporters deciding it was madness to allow the tournament to proceed as planned.
Two Italian journalists in particular did not hold back. They described a country where the phones didn't work, taxis were as rare as faithful husbands, and that whole swathes of the population were subject to poverty, illiteracy, alcoholism, and prostitution.
When their articles were translated into Spanish there was outrage, and Chilean newspapers responded in kind. They call Italians fascists, over-sexed, drug addicts and in league with the mafia.
The two Italian journalists were forced to flee the country, whilst an Argentinian member of the press corps who was mistaken for one of them was beaten up so badly that he was hospitalised.
By the time the match kicked-off in front of a hostile home crowd, emotions were running high on both sides.
It took 12 seconds for the first foul to be committed, and, within eight minutes, Italy were down to ten men. Left-half Giorgio Ferrini was sent off by the English referee Ken Ashton, but refused to leave the field. He was eventually marched off the field by policemen.
Running battles continued all over the pitch, and Ashton did nothing when Chile outside left Leonel Sánchez landed a left-hook on Italian right back Mario David. That was in retaliation for a foul by David minutes earlier.
Ashton later explained that his back was turned to the incident. When David attempted to exact his own revenge on Sánchez by kicking him, this time Ashton did see it, and he too was sent off. That was the prelude to more violence, with Sánchez breaking the nose of another Italian, Humberto Maschio with a left hook. Ashton's eyesight again seemed to fail him as Sánchez remained on the field.
A burning sense of injustice remained with the Italians for the rest of the tournament.
Half-time did little to cool tempers, and three times more the police had to come on to the field to help restore order. In the end Chile won the match with two late goals and would go on to reach the final, eventually losing to Brazil.
Ashton never refereed a World Cup match again, although he did achieve later fame as the inventor of yellow and red cards.
In the aftermath feelings continued to run high. Italian restaurants were boycotted in Chile, whilst, in Rome, the army had to be deployed to protect the Chilean embassy.

I am headed off to Every Husband's Nightmare Bazaar tomorrow afternoon to deliver all my creations. It is a boutique bazaar (they turn our inventory into vignettes and conduct all the checkout purchases). There is a palpable "buzz" of energy as folks cart their wares into the huge room and distribute them on tables with labels marked "Red and White", "Old World", "Traditional Christmas" and on and on.
The doors open at 1pm and since I avoid MAYHEM at all costs I show up about 4pm. By then most of the tables are FULL to capacity. My first year I was dismayed that there was no room on the table. No worries. I was instructed to just pile my stuff on top! Usually the table marked "Beach and Whimsical" is nearly empty because most Portland folks don't decorate with a beach theme and whimsical is not a popular craft genre. So I get to hog the table, LOL! My beach stuff sells really well and if it doesn't I don't care because it has a chance to sell here at the beach.
I made some beachy Christmas Tree Toppers with the 8 inch gold snowflakes I got at Michael's.
My sea glass driftwood crosses sell really well every year! I make some Mary and Child Christmas themed crosses and it will be fun to see how well they sell.
I made more wreaths with the Dollar Store Wreath Forms and bags of shells. The wreath form is covered with a crocheted table cloth I got at a garage sale. I hot glue the shells and they attach easily to the crochet!
….and I have a progress report about my dolphin statue/mermaid upcycle. I have had so much fun so far and now the fun really begins as I get to decorate her. I am trying to think a romantic beachy name for her, any suggestions?
Now the fun begins….I will finish decorating her skirt and glam up her base.


What is next for IPEX?
Much has already been written about the show and its history, see Frank Romano's blog yesterday for a good recap. Ralf Schlozer also wrote about IPEX earlier in the week.
While it's still too early to tell if IPEX 2014 is going to be a success for the exhibitors and visitors, I'd like to present my observations and a couple of thoughts on what may happen next.

Dev: Despite "good" sales, Papo & Yo didn't cover development costs
28 March 2013 | By Jonah A. Falcon
Papo & Yo developer Vander Caballero explained the reason that PlayStation Network title, which was a transparent allegory for life with his abusive father, is heading to Steam is that while sales were "good" on PSN, it didn't cover development costs.
According to Caballero, "Despite the good sales, the cost of the game has to be covered," he said. "We have covered already parts of the cost of the game, but when it comes out on Steam, we'll make money. Then we'll cover the whole cost of the game."
Papo & Yo will begin preorders on the 4th April at 10% off til its release on the 18th April, lowering the cost to $13.50. Preorders will also get the game's soundtrack free as well.

Bridge-viewing platform operated by Strada Private Limited. (File Photo/Sun/Fayaz Moosa)
Strada Private Limited, the company which operates the brand Newport, has been served notice to vacate Lonuziyaaraih Kolhu were it operates a restaurant and a bridge-viewing platform.
An official from Ministry of National Planning and Infrastructure reports the company was served 30-day notice to vacate the premises last Sunday.
Strada Private Limited was awarded the land during former Maldivian President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom's administration.
The Managing Director of Strada at the time was Zahid Rameez – former council member of Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM).
Zahid resigned from Strada shortly after Yameen's defeat in the presidential elections of 2018, and parted ways with PPM following Yameen's arrest for money laundering.
Strada, after the Maldivian administration demolished its beverage outlet, Chai Time, in Lonuziyaaraih Kolhu, asked the State for MVR 14.4 million in compensation.
However, release of compensation money was put on hold at the instructions of Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Strada's restaurant chain, Newport, was also under investigation by the ACC over the award of contract to prepare the banquet to celebrate Maldives' 50th Independence Day. ACC had forwarded the case to the Prosecutor General's Office for criminal charges, but the Prosecutor General's Office later decided not to proceed with charges.
