DocuSign Adds Tech Execs in Board Reshuffle
Five directors including founder Tom Gonser are leaving DocuSign's board as part of its post-IPO transition to a public company.
Matthew HellerJuly 12, 2018
4 Powerful Communication Strategies for Your Next Board Meeting
This whitepaper outlines four powerful strategies to amplify board meeting conversations during a time of economic volatility.
DocuSign is reshuffling almost half its board, with founder Tom Gonser among those leaving as part of what it called a "planned transition" to a public company.
Gonser, chairman and former CEO Keith Krach, and three venture capitalists are resigning while three executives with extensive tech experience — former GoDaddy CEO Blake Irving, Docker CEO Steve Singh, and IBM Watson general manager Inhi Cho Suh — will join the board.
The new board members "bring a wealth of experience across the public and private sector. And they bring unique perspectives in the areas of SaaS, big data, artificial intelligence, and serving customers from the largest enterprises to the very smallest businesses," DocuSign CEO Dan Springer, who succeeded Krach last year, said in a news release.

"This will offer a vital contribution to our growth and evolution as a newly-public company," he added.
DocuSign said in a regulatory filing that the decision of Gonser and the other departing directors to resign was "not a result of any disagreement with us on any matter relating to our operations, policies, or practices."
The electronic signature company went public in April at $29 a share and has surged 79% to close at $51.98 on Wednesday. It said Gonser and Krach will depart the board at the end of the year, while Jonathan Roberts, Scott Darling, and Rory O'Driscoll will step down at the end of August.
"Each have helped write important chapters of the DocuSign story," Springer said.
Among the new board members, Irving has more than 25 years of leadership experience at public corporate and consumer technology companies, including Microsoft, Yahoo and GoDaddy.
"In the SaaS industry, it's rare to see a company create a category from scratch, grow to lead that category, and then continue its innovation arc by extending to meet an even broader set of business challenges," he said of DocuSign.
"I've worked across a spectrum of enterprise technologies, so I can appreciate the impact that DocuSign is already having in that space — and its vast potential for the future," Singh said.

"Strange History" Lectures at BHS, Starting Wednesday Evening
By Claude Scales on July 25, 2011 11:22 pm in Arts and Entertainment, Brooklyn History, Events
The Brooklyn Historical Society, 128 Pierepont Street (corner of Clinton), in conjunction with the Brooklyn Brainery, is offering a series of three lectures by historian Benjamin Feldman, each on an unusual topic in Brooklyn or New York City history. You may attend all three, or choose à la carte. The lectures will be at BHS the next three Wednesdays, July 27, August 3, and August 10, starting at 7;00 p.m.
Our first session on July 27 focuses on the 1870 diary of a Fort Greene resident, Henry Knight Dyer, who went on to lead Dennison Paper, the precursor to Avery-Dennison, which of course makes every mailing label on earth nowadays. "Sauce for the Goose" on August 3 tells the story of a sensational 1835 lawsuit about jilted lovers that captured the city's attention all summer. Finally, on August 10, we'll cover the 1857 murder of Dr. Harvey Burdell, another weird and stunning scandal in New York's history.
The fee for each lecture is $10, or $8 for BHS members. For the August 3 and 10 lectures, the fee includes one beer.

The NBN is fast rolling out across the country, and if you haven't been connected yet then you'll probably be online before you know it. Since the National Broadband Network has become such a hot topic lately, extra scrutiny has been placed on the speeds offered, and whether customers can actually reach those advertised speeds.
In late 2017, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) began to crack down and even fine the major telcos for their allegedly misleading NBN speed claims. Since then, however, telcos have begun advertising what's called 'evening speeds'. With so much jargon and a lot of terminology flying around, what means what, and what internet speeds can you expect? Read on to find out.
You'll probably know that there are four NBN speed 'tiers' available. However, what you may not know is that the way speeds are advertised has changed recently. Below is a short brief on what the company responsible for rolling out the NBN – creatively named NBN Co – calls the speeds.
Away from the NBN is good old ADSL. If you're still connected to ADSL, the fastest speed you can hope you achieve is 24Mbps, and that's for ADSL2+. For simple ADSL, the fastest you can expect to achieve is 8Mbps.
It's all well and good knowing what the NBN speed tiers are called at a wholesale level, but what do the NBN providers actually call their speed tiers? And how are you supposed to know which is best for you?
The way telcos describe their NBN speed tiers is sometimes different to how they are described at the wholesale level. Expect 'clever' marketing language like 'Turbo' or 'Supercharged', for example. Below are a few providers and what terms they use to describe their NBN speeds.
Exetel is one of the relatively few telcos that keeps it simple – Standard Plus and Premium are the two labels used to describe the speed tiers on offer. Plans with unlimited data start at under $60 a month, while top tier plans with unlimited data start at under $90.
iiNet is another telco that keeps it dead simple, describing its NBN speed tiers as Basic, Standard Plus and Premium. Unlimited data starts at $70 a month, and those willing to sign up for 24 months get a Fetch bundle included. Top tier unlimited NBN costs just less than $100 a month.
Telstra has a fairly simple approach to NBN plans, with four plans on offer as well as two 'Casual' plans on a month-to-month basis. Telstra simply avoids any representation of speeds, adhering to what NBN Co calls them – with the 'Standard Plus' speed tier coming as standard on both unlimited plans.
Vodafone NBN operates across three speed tiers – Standard, Standard Plus and Premium. Vodafone calls these speeds Essential, Essential+ and Premium. Pretty easy to remember, right? Prices start from under $70 a month and all plans are notably month-to-month. However, the Vodafone Wi-Fi Hub is technically on a 36-month contract; you pay $180 upfront and every month you receive a $5 credit on your bill.
TPG has quite a large array of NBN plans across three speed tiers – Basic, Standard Plus and Premium. TPG calls these speed tiers a rather descriptive 'NBN 12', 'NBN 50' and 'NBN 100', respectively. TPG used to call its speed tiers fun terms like 'Superfast' and so on – but no more. Unlimited data starts at about $60 a month, while the top speed tier with unlimited data starts at about $90 a month.
Internode bucks the trend and uses a slightly different approach to its NBN plans. Plans are called 'Bronze', 'Gold' and 'Platinum', describing 12Mbps, 50Mbps and 100Mbps speed tiers respectively. Plans start at about $70 for unlimited data, with no lock-in contract as standard, attracting a $99 setup fee.
MyRepublic operates across just two speed tiers – Standard Plus and Premium. MyRepublic calls these two speed tiers 'Essential' and 'Premium'. Prices start from $69.95 a month, and all plans come with unlimited data. Users have the option of a one month or 12-month contract, with cheaper modem prices the longer you sign up.
Start is a telco that gives back and supplies internet to those on the fringes of society. Unlimited data starts from $75 a month. The speed tiers available are Standard, Standard Plus and Premium. Start tends to offer a free speed boost from Basic to Standard, and this tier is called 'Quick'. The Standard Plus NBN plan is called 'Faster', while the Premium plan is called 'As Fast as It Gets'.
Optus, for such a large telco, has a fairly concise range of NBN plans. Rather than indicate speed, its plans come on the Standard Plus speed tier by default, with an optional NBN 100 upgrade available for $30 per month. It has two base plans: the 85 Plan features unlimited data, Optus Sport, and unlimited calls to local, national, and Australian mobile numbers; the 99 Plan includes the above, plus Fetch TV and a premium channel pack.
You've probably heard the term – but what does 'evening speed' actually refer to? 'Evening speed' is a relatively new designation that is supposed to give a more realistic representation about the maximum NBN speeds you can expect to achieve in peak periods.
Peak periods are from 7pm to 11pm and frequently experience maximum speed slowdown of around 20% or more.
Top-flight NBN 100 plans can be reduced to 80Mbps or worse in peak periods.
Marketing is one thing – but which provider actually delivers the fastest NBN speeds?
It's all well and good placing trust in the provider to accurately represent their max evening speeds, but what are you actually going to get in the real world?
This in effect means that out of the 'big four' providers, TPG was technically rated 'the best', as its plans were more likely to achieve their maximum speeds. That is to say, on a 100Mbps max speed NBN plan, TPG's plans were performing at 88Mbps – or roughly 88%.
Smaller telcos such as Aussie Broadband, which limits subscription uptake to maintain maximum speeds, may be worth a look into.
While this is a generally guide only, it does serve those looking for a new provider a benchmark on which to base the large telcos on.
Running your speed test over Wi-Fi will almost never produce as good a result as if you have your computer hooked up to an ethernet cable, plugged into the wall.
Other people using the internet at the same time as when you run your speed test can heavily skew results.
VPNs can affect overall speed due to routing traffic through a foreign country or location far away from your home.
Other factors such as your choice of server can also impact test results. Also note that some providers may even be able to detect you're running a speed test and prioritise bandwidth to you, which may not give an accurate representation of what speeds you actually experience!
speedtest.net, ozspeedtest.com, fast.com and many other sites provide free, safe speed tests that also provide other data such as how your speeds rank against others.
All in all, running a speed test is a very simple process and can give an insightful look into how your internet is performing.
My internet is terrible – what can I do?
You may have to provide speed tests at many times throughout the day, such as in the morning, at midday, in peak periods and even later at night.
You may have to do this over several days to satisfy your telco.
If after you've jumped through several hoops, and you're still unhappy, you can refer your complaint to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO). Note, that this is usually the last resort. Successful complaints can result in breaking of contract with no penalty, speed downgrades at no penalty, refunding of monthly fees and so on.
Is Your Internet up to Speed?
NBN and internet speeds have been under the microscope lately, and it's tempting to panic and do something drastic. However, the good news is that NBN speeds are generally improving among the big telcos over time. Telcos tempering expectations has also stemmed a hefty rise in complaints seen in late 2017 and early 2018.
With that said, getting optimal internet speeds can also be belied to the customer. Choosing the right plan for you comes down to more than just choosing the cheapest one. Additionally, if you suspect your internet speed isn't up to scratch, you can raise it with your telco and run a series of speed tests just to confirm. With internet being a hot topic lately, you can wade in by making sure your own internet is up to the task first.

If this sounds even vaguely familiar, you've got function to do but we'll get to that later. Then in 1998 our Provincial Regulations OHS/HSE regulations (WorkSafe BC – WSBC) changed, and obtaining the capability to rescue a worker from a confined space became a written requirement. In addition we have personnel that are also educated in NFPA Higher Angle rescue and IDLH Entry confined space rescue, who are proficient in breathing apparatus and atmospheric monitoring. The second goal was to produce a pool of highly trained personnel which could be temporarily utilized to supply rescue solutions for a lot more difficult and hazardous confined space entries.
Non-entry rescue, of course, demands the appropriate gear be in place before the accident happens. Prior to going onto a web-site, our staff are expected to take industrial fall protection, confined space, gas monitoring as well as WHIMIS and Lock Out/Isolation instruction. Classroom sessions are portion of the curriculum but they are not the focus of this course.
This is why self-rescue and non-entry preparing and preparation is so vital in industrial confined space circumstances. This was a great opportunity for our staff (mainly city firefighters) and the client's staff (industrial firefighters) to have a two-way exchange of understanding. The newer generation of these detectors give wireless alerts, enabling security teams to track alarms from a remote office and enact rescue procedures more swiftly.
Even even though Rescue 1 and I were from two distinct fire departments, we moved through our actions and drills as a well-oiled machine. When your group is faced with producing life and death choices, in our opinion, there is no will need to overcomplicate your actions. Our industrial rescue teams undergo a thorough screening process and then an in depth coaching system positioned onsite. It is to identify the finding out curves that have had to take place in the private rescue sector.
As the world's biggest and most influential fire safety organization, NFPA publishes around 300 codes and requirements intended to avoid the loss of life and property. There are basically three varieties of confined space rescue procedures, and the 1st is the most idyllic: Merely place, workers rescue themselves. I did not see (and did not know to ask for) any hazard assessment, entry procedures, rescue procedures, WHIMIS, emergency contact info, and so on.
Rescue can be made safer by organizations willing to take the methods so that self-rescue and non-entry rescue are viable solutions for all workers in the field. I am making use of these stories to outline the progress private rescue has made over the years and as a studying tool for organizations hiring private rescue providers. Even though we had some pretty competent rescuers on sites, these rescuers were not properly versed in the needs, security procedures, policies or culture on industrial and building web sites.

Best Microsoft Edge Tips and Tricks for Android and iOS
Microsoft has launched the Edge browser (Chromium) for Android, and iOS. If you have downloaded this browser, and want to figure out what you can do with this, here are some tips and tricks that will help Android and iOS users get the best out of this browser.
Edge browser Tips and Tricks for Android & iOS
1] Change page layout
Like the PC version, the mobile version of Microsoft Edge also allows users to change the page layout so that people can get the most out of the new tab page. By default, it starts with Informational. However, it is possible to change it to something else so that it shows what you want to see.
To change the page layout in Microsoft Edge, you have to do the following. At first, open up the browser on your mobile and tap on the three horizontal lines visible on the top-right corner.
Following that, choose a different page layout – Focused, Inspirational, etc. If you select the Custom option, it allows you to show or hide a few things such as most visited sites, image of the day, and feeds.
2] Change default search engine
By default, Microsoft Edge uses Bing as the default search engine. If you do not like to use it and want to opt for Google or something else, here is what you should do. At first, tap on the three-dotted icon on the homepage and select the Settings option. Following that, find out the Search option, and tap on it.
Here you can see an option called a Default search engine. If you tap on this option, you can select a new search engine as the default.
3] Set it as the default browser
If the pre-installed Chrome or Safari browser doesn't excite you and you want to change it as soon as possible, Microsoft Edge will be a good option. For that, the following steps need to be followed.
Tap on the three-dotted icon, and select the Settings option. In the Settings page, find out Set default browser option, and tap on it. Then, tap on the Change default apps button.
It opens your mobile's Settings page from where it is possible to set Microsoft Edge as the default browser. Tap on the Browser app option, and choose Edge from the list.
Read: How to close all open Tabs in Edge at once on Android and iOS.
4] Continue browsing
Some browsers allow users to close all browsing tabs on exit. If you want to obtain such a feature in Microsoft Edge, this functionality is for you.
By default, if you close the browser in the middle of a search when some tabs are opened, you can find the same when you re-open the browser. However, if you do not want to continue using that feature, you can close all opened tabs on exit. To enable this feature, go to Settings, and find out Browsing options > Continue browsing.
From here, select Start fresh option.
5] Manage saved passwords
Although it is not recommended to save passwords in the browser, many people often do that to speed up the sign-in process on a regular website. If you have done that already and you want to manage them from one place, you are in luck.
To manage saved passwords, open Settings, and visit the Saved passwords section. Here you can find all the saved passwords. Tap on any of them, to view or delete.
If you want to delete a saved password, you must enter the password/pin/fingerprint to verify.
6] Use Dark mode
By default, it shows your device's theme. In other words, if you are using a system-wide dark theme, Microsoft Edge will show the same.
However, if you want to use dark mode in the Microsoft Edge browser, here is what you will do. At first, open the Settings, and go to Appearance > Theme. From here, select the Dark option.
It doesn't require restarting the app as it affects the change immediately.
7] Use Reading mode
If you often read long articles on your favorite website, the reading mode might be a bliss for you. It blocks all the unnecessary elements of the webpage and shows only the article on your screen.
If you want to utilize this functionality, open a webpage in the browser, and tap on the "reading mode" icon in the address bar.
Now you can read your article without any distraction.
8] Enable Do Not Track
When you visit a website, the administrator can track various things, including browser information. However, if you want to share minimal information with the website owner, the Do Not Track feature can be handy for you. Like most of the other browsers for mobile as well as PC, Microsoft Edge also includes the same functionality. To turn it on, visit the Settings page, and go to Privacy and Security.
From here, tap on the Do Not Track option, and toggle the corresponding button to enable this feature.
These are some of the essential Microsoft Edge tips and tricks for Android and iOS that can help you get started.

The first game in the Five Nights at Freddy's saga was released less than two years ago, but the franchise has already become an enormous sales success, with a movie adaptation in the works. Now there's word that Freddy Fazbear and his animatronic accomplices might be making their way to consoles.
Over the weekend, a fan asked about console ports on the Steam Community page for the most recent mainline installment in the series, last year's Five Nights at Freddy's 4. The next morning, developer Scott Cawthon hopped into the thread to confirm that such a project was in the works.
"Actually, yes!" Cawthon wrote in response to the fan. "I'm talking with a few companies who are interested in doing console remakes of the original games." It's not clear whether these "remakes" would make any changes to the original releases, or simply provide access to the games on systems like the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One.
The Five Nights at Freddy's franchise found its popularity thanks to successful releases on mobile platforms, and on PC via Steam. The series' penchant for jump-scares meant that it was a major hit for YouTubers looking for new content to use in their reaction videos.
Cawthon produced sequels incredibly quickly, with the first releasing just three months after the inaugural game made its debut. Most were fondly received by fans, with the exception of RPG spin-off FNAF World, which was pulled by its creator shortly after launch.
Now, Cawthon is working on a side story titled Sister Location, so it makes perfect sense that another company would be tasked with giving prior installments a second life on consoles. However, given the massive amount of exposure this series has had in the past two years, it remains to be seen how much of its audience remains untapped.

Q: Introspection to get decorator names on a method? I am trying to figure out how to get the names of all decorators on a method. I can already get the method name and docstring, but cannot figure out how to get a list of decorators.

A: I'm surprised that this question is so old and no one has taken the time to add the actual introspective way to do this, so here it is:
The code you want to inspect...
def template(func):
    def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        return func(*args, **kwargs)
    return wrapper

baz = template
che = template

class Foo(object):
    @baz
    @che
    def bar(self):
        pass

Now you can inspect the above Foo class with something like this...
import ast
import inspect

def get_decorators(cls):
    target = cls
    decorators = {}

    def visit_FunctionDef(node):
        decorators[node.name] = []
        for n in node.decorator_list:
            name = ''
            if isinstance(n, ast.Call):
                name = n.func.attr if isinstance(n.func, ast.Attribute) else n.func.id
            else:
                name = n.attr if isinstance(n, ast.Attribute) else n.id

            decorators[node.name].append(name)

    node_iter = ast.NodeVisitor()
    node_iter.visit_FunctionDef = visit_FunctionDef
    node_iter.visit(ast.parse(inspect.getsource(target)))
    return decorators

print get_decorators(Foo)

That should print something like this...
{'bar': ['baz', 'che']}

or at least it did when I tested this with Python 2.7.9 real quick :)

A: If you can change the way you call the decorators from
class Foo(object):
    @many
    @decorators
    @here
    def bar(self):
        pass

to
class Foo(object):
    @register(many,decos,here)
    def bar(self):
        pass

then you could register the decorators this way:
def register(*decorators):
    def register_wrapper(func):
        for deco in decorators[::-1]:
            func=deco(func)
        func._decorators=decorators
        return func
    return register_wrapper

For example:
def many(f):
    def wrapper(*args,**kwds):
        return f(*args,**kwds)
    return wrapper

decos = here = many

class Foo(object):
    @register(many,decos,here)
    def bar(self):
        pass

foo=Foo()

Here we access the tuple of decorators:
print(foo.bar._decorators)
# (<function many at 0xb76d9d14>, <function decos at 0xb76d9d4c>, <function here at 0xb76d9d84>)

Here we print just the names of the decorators:
print([d.func_name for d in foo.bar._decorators])
# ['many', 'decos', 'here']

A: As Faisal notes, you could have the decorators themselves attach metadata to the function, but to my knowledge it isn't automatically done.

A: I've add the same question. In my unit tests I just wanted to make sure decorators were used by given functions/methods.
The decorators were tested separately so I didn't need to test the common logic for each decorated function, just that the decorators were used.
I finally came up with the following helper function:
import inspect

def get_decorators(function):
    """Returns list of decorators names

    Args:
        function (Callable): decorated method/function

    Return:
        List of decorators as strings

    Example:
        Given:

        @my_decorator
        @another_decorator
        def decorated_function():
            pass

        >>> get_decorators(decorated_function)
        ['@my_decorator', '@another_decorator']

    """
    source = inspect.getsource(function)
    index = source.find("def ")
    return [
        line.strip().split()[0]
        for line in source[:index].strip().splitlines()
        if line.strip()[0] == "@"
    ]

With the list comprehension, it is a bit "dense" but it does the trick and in my case it's a test helper function.
It works if you are intrested only in the decorators names, not potential decorator arguments. If you want to support decorators taking arguments, something like line.strip().split()[0].split("(")[0] could do the trick (untested)
Finally, you can remove the "@" if you'd like by replacing line.strip().split()[0] by line.strip().split()[0][1:]

A: That's because decorators are "syntactic sugar". Say you have the following decorator:
def MyDecorator(func):
    def transformed(*args):
        print "Calling func " + func.__name__
        func()
    return transformed

And you apply it to a function:
@MyDecorator
def thisFunction():
    print "Hello!"

This is equivalent to:
thisFunction = MyDecorator(thisFunction)

You could embed a "history" into the function object, perhaps, if you're in control of the decorators. I bet there's some other clever way to do this (perhaps by overriding assignment), but I'm not that well-versed in Python unfortunately. :(

A: That's not possible in my opinion. A decorator is not some kind of attribute or meta data of a method. A decorator is a convenient syntax for replacing a function with the result of a function call. See http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.4.html?highlight=decorators#pep-318-decorators-for-functions-and-methods for more details.

A: It is impossible to do in a general way, because
@foo
def bar ...

is exactly the same as
def bar ...
bar = foo (bar)

You may do it in certain special cases, like probably @staticmethod by analyzing function objects, but not better than that.

A: You can't but even worse is there exists libraries to help hide the fact that you have decorated a function to begin with.  See Functools or the decorator library (@decorator if I could find it) for more information.

as human annotations inherently have limits on precision and consistency. Other methods that focus on video facial landmark detection utilize both detections and tracking to combat jittering and increase precision, but these methods require per-frame annotations in a video.
registration, i.e., optical flow, is a source of supervision.
SBR can enhance the precision of a generic facial landmark detector on both images and video in an unsupervised fashion.
Since the supervisory signal of SBR does not come from annotations, SBR can utilize a very large amount of unlabeled video to enhance the detector.
SBR can be trained end-to-end with the widely used gradient back-propagation method.
SBR consists of two complementary parts, the general facial landmark detector, and the LK tracking operation. The training procedure of supervision-by-registration with two complementary losses. The detection loss utilizes appearance from a single image and label information to learn a better landmark detector. Many facial landmark detectors take an image I as input and regress to the coordinates of the facial landmarks, i.e., D(I) = L. L² loss is used on the co-ordinated L with ground-truth labels L*.
The first detector is CPM, which utilizes the ImageNet pre-trained models as the feature extraction part. The first four convolutional layers of VGG-16 is used for feature extraction and use only three CPM stages for heatmap prediction. The faces are cropped and resized into 256×256 for pre-processing. We train the CPM with a batch size of 8 for 40 epochs in total. The learning rate starts at 0.00005 and is reduced by 0.5 at 20th and 30th epochs.
Good news! Now you may swap face with celebrity in a second with our brand new app SWAPP!
The second detector is a simple regression network, denoted as Reg. VGG-16 is used as the base model and change the output neurons of the last fully-connected layer to K×2, where K is the number of landmarks. Input images have been cropped to 224×224 for this regression network.
The datasets used to compute the 300-W, AFLW, youtube-face, 300-VW and YouTube Celebrities. The result of SBR is shown in fig:2 is performed on both the Reg (regression-based) and CPM (heatmap-based) on AFLW and 300-W. Normalized Mean Error (NME) is used to evaluate the performance of images.
Back-propagating through the LK layer enables more accurate gradient updates than self-training.
Also, experiments on synthetic data show that annotation errors in the evaluation set may make a well-performing model seem like it is performing poorly, so one should be careful of annotation imprecision when interpreting quantitative results.

Q: Axios can't set data Here's my data:
data: function(){
    return {
        contas: [{id: 3,
            nome: "Conta de telefone",
            pago: false,
            valor: 55.99,
            vencimento: "22/08/2016"}] //debug test value
    };
},

And here's my get request:
beforeMount() {
    axios.get('http://127.0.0.1/api/bills')
        .then(function (response) {
            console.log("before: " + this.contas);
            this.contas = response.data;
            console.log("after: " + this.contas);
        });
},

The problem is I can't access this.contas from within axios.get(). I've tried Vue.set(this, 'contas', response.data); and window.listaPagarComponent.contas = response.data; without success.
My console shows:
before: undefined
after: [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

But Vue Devtools shows only:
contas: Array[1]
  0: Object
    id: 3
    nome: "Conta de telefone"
    pago: false
    valor: 55.99
    vencimento: "22/08/2016"

Here's my full code.

A: To be able to access this.contas inside axios.get() do you need binding "this" to keep variable usage scoped:
mounted() {
    axios.get('http://127.0.0.1/api/bills')
     .then(function (response) {
        console.log("before: " + this.contas);
        this.contas = response.data;
        console.log("after: " + this.contas);
     }.bind(this));
}

A: In option functions like data and created, vue binds this to the view-model instance for us, so we can use this.contas, but in the function inside then, this is not bound.
So you need to preserve the view-model like (created means the component's data structure is assembled, which is enough here, mounted will delay the operation more):
created() {
    var self = this;
    axios.get('http://127.0.0.1/api/bills')
        .then(function (response) {
                self.contas = response.data;
                });
}

Or you can use arrow function in ES6 standard if you only aim to support modern browsers(or using a transpiler like babel), like:
created() {
    axios.get('http://127.0.0.1/api/bills')
        .then((response) => {
                this.contas = response.data;
                });
}

this inside arrow functions are bound according to lexical context, which means the this in the above snippet is the same as the one in created, which is what we want.


KATHMANDU, Nepal - Nov. 9, 2018 - PRLog -- Nepal, famous among tourists as a county of " Mount Everest", a Himalayan country. The tourist visiting Nepal on the different Nepal tour package is rising this November 2018.
Nepal through a small country in a world map has a diversity found in few other countries of the World. The formation of the Himalayan range 50 million years ago has carved Nepal in such a way, this country has a wild latitudinal variation.
This country barely rises from 60 meters above sea level (bordering India) and reached a staggering height of 5,380 m (Everest Base Camp). The amazing thing is this variation is within 250 Km south to North. Here live people of different ethnic. There are around 205 ethnic groups in Nepal following their own traditions, cultures, language, and food.
Talking about the diverse Nepal tour package. There is a wide variety of Nepal tour package such as; Trekking in Nepal, adventure tours in Nepal, cultural tours in Nepal, nature tours in Nepal, wildlife tours in Nepal, Incentive tours in Nepal to name a few.
Mainly Nepal is famous for trekking as it is a home of two of the worlds best trekking trails 1) Everest Base Camp treks 2) Annapurna Base Camp Trekking. So there is a large number of tourists coming to Nepal for trekking.
The nature tours in Nepal are famous among Malaysians. They love the view of the Himalayas. The whole northern section of Nepal is Himalayan range and drawn by scenery supplementing the Himalayas.
Tourism is one of the biggest sources if injecting foreign currency into Nepal economy. Nepal is a gifted natural country and the only way to improve the economy is through tourism. The rise of social media promotions, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), has made Nepal visible to all parts of the world.

MMC's Women in Leadership Panel
Averee Nelson, Digital Managing Editor|April 9, 2021
Every March, the United States recognizes the achievements and contributions women have made to our society, culture and overall history that have often remained invisible to the mainstream narrative of our history. 2021 has been a turning point in women's history and the women's suffrage movement. Looking back to the early women suffragists fighting for the simple ability to exercise the right to vote in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, some would say it is long overdue to finally see Kamala Harris be sworn in as the first woman Vice President of the United States.
At the tail end of Women's History month, Marymount Manhattan College hosted a Women in Leadership Panel, moderated by MMC's President, Dr. Kerry Walk. Opening the discussion to a Zoom call of over 100 eager zoom box participants, President Walk made the astonishing point that only 32% of colleges have presidents who identify as women. There is an even smaller percentage of those women presidents who are openly a part of the LGBTQ+ community.
In a college as small as Marymount Manhattan College, it is crucial to have open discussions about inclusivity and diversity. Even though approximately 80% of MMC's enrolled students in the Fall of 2020 identify as female, there are still absent conversations from our quotidian routines. The key takeaway of this panel is that women have come so far in making strides toward gender equality, but there is still work to be done.
Led by President Walk, the panelists consisted of Jill Bright, Erika Kirchner and Professor Benedetta Sampoli Benitez. Bright is an alumna of MMC's class of '84, as well as the Chief Administrative Officer at the global investment and merchant bank LionTree LLC, with over 25 years of experience working in senior executive roles such as Conde Nast and American Express. Kirchner is the Senior Vice President of Human Resources at the publishing company Bertelsmann, Inc. located in New York, NY, with a background in strategic leadership positions across the field of Human Resources. Professor Sampoli Benitez is the Chair of the Division of Sciences at Marymount Manhattan College and previously worked as a research fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. All three panelists have leadership skills across a vast spectrum, and they offered encouraging advice to combat the gender divide in the future careers of MMC students.
The conversation began with the question of if any of the panelists imagined themselves to work their way into the positions of leadership that they hold today. Professor Sampoli Benitez was the first to unmute and explained that she never actually thought that she would be in a position of leadership, especially as the Chair of the Science Department. However, she was able to see that it was possible at Marymount because her predecessor was a woman. Professor Sampoli Benitez admitted that it was difficult to be heard when she first stepped into the position, but she has adapted into her role as an "advocate" for her students and her colleagues.
Science is a department that requires collaboration and a playing field where everyone is working together. Professor Sampoli Benitez speaks on this aspect of her division, saying that she has never seen herself as above her students in the lab or when researching. She values sharing her visions with her students and colleagues, as well as listening to everyone and making changes to her plans when others suggest them.
Erika Kirchner also admitted that she never saw herself to be in a position of leadership and this feeling has been rooted in gender-based stereotypes. It is not uncommon for women in the workplace to hear the stereotype that they are "bossy" when they are in command or that they aren't friendly when they are leading a team. Kirchner sees it as more valuable to negate the stereotype of women being "bossy" leaders and replacing it with "collaborative." These generalizations are harmful when women hold executive positions in companies because it dismisses qualifications and experience.
Jill Bright views "leadership [as] curating followership." Bright elucidates this point by explaining that women have begun defining their positions through "influencing." It is better to champion and help others through influencing their actions rather than governing or demanding how they act in the workplace.
Rolling with this topic of "followership," Kirchner added that followership is an important stepping stone to helping others manifest a common goal and work together to get to a higher level. Kirchner moves to the topic of students finding a mentor who will parallel the style of leadership they seek to reflect in their own careers. The quest to find a mentor is not always the easiest task but it is important to be aware of what leaderships you gravitate towards and to be able to find a mentor you feel comfortable with, Kirchner explained.
To Bright, "360-degree" leadership is the best method to be mindful of. According to HealthManagment.org, a 360-degree leader "involves identifying yourself as a leader who simultaneously influences people at every level of the organization." Rather than looking down on others in the workplace, it is more efficient to work towards building a collaborative and empowered team of people that can work together and succeed together.
There was a moment in the talk where the panelists addressed that it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to be in positions of leadership, especially as women. President Walk posed the topic of imposter syndrome for the panelists to discuss in relation to their own careers. In the article: "Stop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome," by Ruchika Tulshyan and Jodi-Ann Burey, they define imposter syndrome as "doubting your abilities and feeling like a fraud at work, [which] is a diagnosis often given to women." For far too long, high-achieving women, who hold high positions in companies and work day and night for their accomplishments, doubt the legitimacy of their achievements. Tulshyan and Burey point out that "Imposter syndrome took a fairly universal feeling of discomfort, second-guessing, and mild anxiety in the workplace and pathologized it, especially for women." Typically, while men progress in their careers without this doubt and "second-guessing," women are burdened with this syndrome of uncertainty in professional life being characterized and projected as normal.
Bright responded to the topic with the sad reality that women get questioned a lot by their male counterparts. However, it does not have to be the reality women face in the workplace if they look past these syndromes and stereotypes and instead focus on their qualifications. "It doesn't matter how you look but [rather] if you are qualified," Bright said.
Professor Sampoli Benitez explained that we need to move past the narrative that "Women have to be nice" or "likable." It is a hindrance to women's ability to succeed and craft meaningful "followerships."
Closing the conversation, President Walk asked if any of the panelists had a final word of encouragement or advice for those in the call. "You have to be fearless about all your roles," Bright said. No matter what role you are in – whether it be in work, as a partner, or as a parent – it is important to be unapologetic and confident when fulfilling these roles. Professor Sampoli Benitez said: "Put your best foot forward, don't be discouraged, and embrace the vision of being a future leader." Despite all the struggles women face as leaders, it is not impossible to succeed and the opportunity is never too far away to grasp.
As the event time came to an end, audience members filled the chat with celebratory thanks and left the call with newfound enlightenment to face the world with fierceness and confidence. While waving goodbye and thanking the panelists for their words of wisdom, President Walk offered a cheerful and empowering salute to those next in line for roles in leadership, exclaiming "Lead on!"

Cast away the smokescreen for good!
Helping people stop smoking is my true passion. I smoked for 20 years and underwent several unsuccessful attempts at quitting, so I know the pitfalls only too well and this is why I am extremely confident I can help you quit for good! So much so that, if you are a suitable candidate for quitting smoking in A SINGLE SESSION, I offer you a 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE: For up to 6 weeks I will give you your money back on request if you are not completely satisfied with the treatment you received. Alternatively, you can have a free follow-up session within the same time period in the unlikely event that you need it.
You can become a non-smoker in a single session without any withdrawal symptoms.
Hypnosis is "the most effective way of giving up smoking" (New Scientist vol 136): it neither matters how many years you have been smoking nor how much you smoke per day.
Hypnosis is not a temporary fix; with your effort and commitment you can easily make it permanent!
With hypnotherapy you are 5-15 times more likely to succeed than with willpower alone.
Some hypnotherapists claim that you do not require any willpower to stop smoking with their methods because your unconscious mind will magically see to it that you will never smoke again regardless of your conscious will, and that if you had the willpower, you would not need professional help. This is quite simply incorrect. The truth is that you have to actually want to stop and make a firm decision. If you are clear about your goal and truly committed to it, then hypnosis will take care of the rest and help you access the power of your unconscious to reprogram your imagination, thereby helping you make the transition with ease, and without cravings, so you can truly embrace your new life as a non-smoker, fully aware on a deep level of the fact that stopping smoking was one of the best decisions of your life, and that by having stopped you have not given up anything at all! You will find it easy to understand and accept that it was time for you to let go and move on, and it will feel good that you allowed this liberation to happen.
Being a non-smoker is your natural state, and you can easily see yourself this way once again as you focus on what really matters to you: health, happiness and true freedom of choice. It will feel a bit like coming home. Smoking may have seemed like a way for you to feel good, but now you can easily make a firm decision to find new ways of feeling good from deep within yourself as you develop a more conscious relationship with yourself. Are you ready to let go of the pain it used to cause you and see how much you have to gain by doing so – all without having to substitute one habit for another?
Perhaps you have been using cigarettes as a coping mechanism to deal with unwanted feelings. Recent research published by the World Health Organisation has confirmed a link between smoking and low self-esteem. As you learn to control your smoking habit rather than letting it control you, you will find that you will gain confidence as you reclaim your freedom, and that it is possible to experience no side effects and no cravings, and that you will not feel deprived or missing out on something. You really do not need tobacco to be confident or cope with stress.
You may have thought you were smoking to relax, but in reality, smoking has only added to the stresses and strains of your life; perhaps it has even become one of the biggest stresses of your life altgether! Tobacco is a stimulant: it increases your general stress levels as it increases your heart rate and puts you into a semi-permanent fight-or-flight state. As you know, frequently when you have a desire to smoke, it seems that you cannot relax until you give in, so you smoke only to feel normal, to feel like non-smokers do all the time, free from the desire to smoke. Smoking really is not tantamount to enjoying life. You will enjoy life even more without smoking tobacco, and there truly is absolutely nothing to fear. You might eventually even completely forget you were ever a smoker as you stop thinking about it altogether and focus on far more wholesome things in your life.
You may have been brainwashed into thinking that becoming a non-smoker is difficult. But this is really not so! If previous unsuccessful attempts to stop have reduced your self-esteem and tricked you into thinking that you will never be able to stop, do not believe your own thoughts! The truth is that every unsuccessful attempt at stopping has brought you one step closer to becoming a non-smoker as you understand your habit better and better. Research indicates that 45% of all smokers eventually stop! Most stop cold turkey and do not rely on nicotine patches or medical drugs to help them quit. Instead of falling for the pharmaceutical industry which is medicalising the issue in order to cash in by selling you another drug, these people know well that they can simply use the power of their minds to get there. Many of them do not even need hypnosis, but for those who find it hard to go it alone, hypnosis – especially in conjunction with CBT – is a very powerful tool with an extremely high success rate.
As you already know, there is nothing glamorous about smoking. Your identification with this cultural relic of the past only came to be because of the multi-billion dollar industry that's behind it. Do not leave your future in the hands of the tobacco companies. They need you; you do not need them. Tobacco is the only legally available consumer product which kills people when used entirely as intended. If introduced today it would not stand the slightest chance of being legalized. Cancer and heart disease are the two most common fatal diseases, and smoking is a major cause of both. It is quite obvious that smoking kills, and it does not discern. It can kill anyone, and it can kill you.
Passive smoking kills too, it just takes a little longer. On average, smokers die 13-14 years prematurely, and the average smoker loses 14 minutes from their life expectancy each time they smoke a cigarette. That's the same as a loss of six days with each month of smoking that passes! Especially the last few decades of life can be miserable for smokers who begin to feel much more serious effects of their decades-long habit. I strongly encourage you to have a look at some very powerful images – they really get across what is in store for the the vast majority of smokers who do not quit in time.
To ensure success it is essential to have a positive attitude and to mentally prepare. This is why, after you contact me to stop smoking and we both agree that you are sufficiently motivated, I will ask you some questions and give you some instructions to follow for a week or so in order to destabilise your habit. They include identifying all the reasons why you wish to stop smoking and a self-monitoring exercise where you write down your thoughts while smoking a cigarette and rate how much pleasure you actually derived from it. You can try this exercise right now if you have never done it; it can be quite an eye-opener!
What is your session going to be like? After discussing your reasons to stop, examining your self-talk and looking at the health issues of smoking in some more detail (and believe me, there is a lot you probably do not know at this point), I will teach you a very effective self-hypnosis technique designed to enable you to completely relax on cue whenever you need to. You will learn about the three-fold mechanism of tobacco addiction and how what most of us think of as withdrawal is really just a bodily adjustment due to detox. I will show you why the physical component of it is, although undeniably real, very short-lived and only a tiny aspect of the whole picture and how it can easily be taken care of. Finally, the hypnosis itself – which will be individually tailored to your specific needs based on the information you have given me – will help you reprogram your unconscious with all the suggestions that you need to come out the other end a happy non-smoker who won't look back!
* Disclaimer: Success depends not only on the skill of your therapist but it also depends largely on your emotional readiness to quit. For a minority of people a single-session approach is not recommended. I will not accept you for this program if I feel that it is not appropriate for you. In this case you will benefit much more from a multi-session approach stretched over several weeks, where we will do some more in-depth cognitive-behavioural preparation work in order to boost your self-understanding, motivation, confidence – in other words, your readiness to quit and commitment to stick with it for good. In-between these sessions you will probably experience a number of 'failures' when trying not to smoke. We will reframe those into powerful learning experiences with valuable insights into your personal smoking process. Your self-understanding and readiness to change can grow, and it will help maximise the likelihood of you reaching your goal. Every session will represent a significant step forward on your way to freedom. My 6-week 100% money-back satisfaction guarantee (or a free follow-up session) is only valid for suitable single-session candidates. For obvious reasons, it is not applicable for multi-session candidates.

He trotted up till he faced the garden- wall, and then turned short round to the house, and as he rode close up under the gable- end, he gave Sergeant Craucher directions to take three men and force the door; but he and the sergeant soon saw that this trouble was spared them, for the door stood wide open before them. - "La Vendée An Historical Romance", Anthony Trollope.

Bangar Ruinbringer is the Imperator of the Blood Legion. He is considered a "wild card" among the current three Imperators of the charr High Legions, and is said to be both distrustful and prone to rage. He has a strong hatred for humans, which overcomes his suspicions about the other two Imperators to retain a shaky alliance against the Flame Legion. He rules from the Blood Citadel to the east of the Blazeridge Mountains.
After becoming the Imperator of the Blood Legion, Bangar Ruinbringer gained a fierce reputation as a stern leader prone to rage whom few would dare to question. He did not trust the Ash Legion and preferred to send his own soldiers on covert ops mission whenever needed rather than relying on the other legion's finest.
In the past, Bangar ordered Crecia and Rytlock Brimstone to infiltrate the Flame Legion and sabotage it from the inside. In his view, a female charr like Crecia was perfect for the mission as the Flame Legion, who belittled females, would not suspect her of being a spy for the Blood Legion. When Rytlock eventually returned from the enemy garrison alone, Bangar was initially furious at him for blowing his cover and disobeying orders until he learned that Rytlock had stolen Sohothin, a recovered magic sword once wielded by Prince Rurik and which had been intended for Flame Imperator Gaheron Baelfire, from the Flame Legion upon his departure. Bangar would later learn that Crecia had stabbed Rytlock in the leg after the theft and sounded an alarm in the garrison to make Flame Legion chase after him in order to take suspicion off herself so she could continue carrying out her mission for her imperator.
Deciding to use Sohothin as a propaganda tool against the Flame Legion, the Blood Imperator sent Rytlock and the Stone Warband on the front lines. Although Rytlock used the sword with diligence at first, his fame as a legendary Flame Legion killer and wielder of Sohothin gradually emboldened him and made him ignore his superiors' orders. Bangar summoned Rytlock to the Blood Citadel where he voiced his displeasure and that he had considered executing the reckless warrior for the acts of defiance. Although he justified his arguments with Rytlock's disobedience having needlessly endangered his fellow soldiers in battle, he also made it clear that he did not like Rytlock believing he was better than the Imperator himself.
Instead of executing the warrior or making him a gladium as punishment, however, Bangar promoted Rytlock and sent him on "a tour of the legions" so the warrior's presence would "motivate" the other High Legions. As he delivered the punishment masked as a reward, Bangar enjoyed the thought of Rytlock, who did not hold a high opinion of the other legions at the time, being miserable abroad more than he enjoyed winning their verbal clash.
After leaving Destiny's Edge in the aftermath of the failed battle against the Elder Dragon Kralkatorrik and returning to the Blood Legion in 1320 AE, Rytlock was accused of being a traitor for collaborating with humans such as Logan Thackeray and was demoted to scrapper with Bangar doing nothing to prevent the demotion. However, Rytlock rose quickly through the ranks by killing any superior that insulted him and taking their position until he reached the rank of tribune. As a result, Bangar assigned him to the Iron Legion's territory in Ascalon as a Blood Legion representative to join another tribune, Fierhan Sparwind.
Bangar's hatred of humanity remained even after Dougal Keane's successful covert mission to retrieve the Claw of the Khan-Ur on behalf of General Almorra Soulkeeper and Ash Imperator Malice Swordshadow led to talks of a ceasefire between charr and humans from 1324 AE onward. Despite his views, however, the Blood Imperator did not openly oppose the Ash and Iron Legions and ultimately joined them in signing the ceasefire agreement which ended the lengthy charr siege on the Stronghold of Ebonhawke and led to further negotiations between legion representatives and human ambassadors at Summit Peak which would result in the signing of the Ebonhawke Treaty.
"By Bangar's blade!" is a common Blood Legion saying.
"All a real charr needs is their claws and teeth." is a saying attributed to Bangar.
When first he returned to the Blood Legion, he was stripped of rank and assigned menial work. An overseer called him a traitor, and Rytlock killed him. That's how he became an overseer. Later, a legionnaire called him a deserter, and Rytlock killed him as well. That's how he became a legionnaire.
Let a centurion call him a friend to humans, and Rytlock would rise again.
He was no longer a friend to humans, especially not to Logan Thackeray.
Rytlock spit from the top of the wall and watched the gobbet fall a hundred feet down before smearing.
"He'd better hope the Seraph never fight the Blood Legion."

Blackwater Guards Sentenced to Jail
By Lhalo
April 13, 2015 in AngelsSpin.com Political Talk
One guy got life and the other three got 30 years.

Outsourcing military operations to contractors should have been more scrutinized.
Location: The Sandbox
Should have never happened.
We should pass a new law (because God knows we need more laws) that says anytime we go to war, it automatically triggers a draft. Americans will start paying a lot more attention if they know people they love might actually be pulled into it.
I'm not really for a draft because it will never happen without so many exemptions it turns into a joke but the military on the ground should have control of all aspects of a war zone and anyone operating in the zone should be subject to military rules and order.
When these guys were over there who was holding them accountable for anything?
They were hired by the State Dept
I get that but where they even paying much attention to them? I agree that this is something that never should have happened
That's one of those things that may sound good in theory but would be terrible in practice. Like most everything in this country that would impact the middle class and below the most, kind of like Vietnam. Meanwhile those with money and means would be more likely to find a way to keep their kids from going to war or even if they end up in the service working in a secure building somewhere miles from any threat.
So basically just the way it is now.
I get that the rich and well connected will always find a way to weasel out of things like this. But that's happening now. Having a draft puts skin in the game for folks that would never otherwise. By the way, that includes my three boys. It's not that I want us to have a draft. It's that I want us, as a people, to be more aware and invested when our country goes to war. Hopefully this awareness will prevent us from going into situations that we shouldn't.
But I know it won't.

No way. The draft is just one more way to take away rights. "We demand that you give us the right to kidnap you, torture you for several weeks and then send you to kill other people or you will go to jail".
This is the opposite direction of where we should be going as a country. Besides, as it has been pointed out, the only people who suffer from this lack of choice is poor and middle class.
Screw that.
TobiasFunke and Vegas Halo Fan
Yeah except currently we don't have a draft where people are forced into military service where they end up in some godforsaken place trying to kill and not be killed by someone they've never met and likely don't have a problem with. I've got nothing but the utmost respect for our service men and women but they choose to enlist and know that with that comes doing whatever they're told. That's a far cry from implementing a draft.
i'm not sure what would trigger another draft. we're all extremely worn out and tired of foreign wars, but what if it's WW3? remember how patriotic everyone was after 9/11? lots of people joined the military after the attacks and there were US flags everywhere. patriotism is plentiful here.
i think if someone invaded the US, i think we'd tend to see more of a "Wolverines!" kind of approach by private citizens.
Location: Las Vegas, NV
My father, who was career military, always said "It's a rich man's war and a poor man's fight." He was dead on.
These guys basically operated without any rules or oversight, and they were paid mercenaries. This result was pretty predictable.


As you may have seen, we've been working on letting you see your credit card balances within Monzo, to help you avoid being surprised by your monthly bills.
Today we're excited to bring an early version to Monzo Labs, starting with support for Barclaycard cards.
What's included in the first version?
You can link Monzo to your Barclaycard account, and see your card balances in the account tab.
If you're using iOS, opting in will also turn on the new iOS Account Tab, which needs some polishing before we enable it for everyone.
We wanted to start with just one card provider, to make sure the feature is useful before putting lots of work into handling the diversity of lots of card types. We started working on American Express because it's the card provider we see the most Monzo users regularly paying, but ran in to some connection issues, so moved to the second most popular, Barclaycard.
We'll use TrueLayer to securely connect your credit cards to Monzo. TrueLayer are an FCA-regulated service provider. When you connect, Truelayer gets read-only access to your other accounts which lets Monzo display your info. We're using Truelayer because it helps us build and test something quickly, and integrate with other credit cards and banks in the future with less additional effort. They've put a lot of work into taking a bunch of disparate APIs and providers, and standardised them as much as possible for companies like Monzo.
Firstly, make sure you have app version 2.40.0 or newer installed, then opt-in to the feature in Monzo Labs.
After you opt in, we'll send you a feed item linking to the feature tour and authorisation flow.
TrueLayer securely stores those, and uses them to provide us with your balance and some other basic card information.
A few minutes after connecting, you'll see your card listed at the bottom of the account tab, and we'll automatically refresh the information a few times a day.
If you want to remove the integration, opt-out of the feature in Monzo Labs and we'll remove your information from TrueLayer.
When will this come out of Labs? Is this a final version?
We're releasing quite an early version of this feature. We don't expect the broad strokes to change much, but we know there is a bunch of small refinements needed before we can enable the feature for everyone.
We'll take this feature out of Labs once we have the confidence that the connection flow works, and that the balance information displayed is correct. What's most important is that the feature is usable (and safe for the general population), rather than feature complete.
Once the basics are in place, we can start building on top of them as part of other projects.
What are we looking for feedback on?
Whether or not it helps to see your balance listed within Monzo.
What problems you think this could solve for you, with a little more work.
Balances don't update realtime, they'll update about once a day. This is limited by the how often the card provider updates their information.
We're only displaying balances for now, no transaction data - nothing will affect your feed or budgets.
If Barclaycard owe you money, you'll still see a negative balance in the Monzo app - we're working on a fix for this with TrueLayer currently.
Thanks for helping us test, looking forward to hearing what you think!
Right then, I'm off to try this out!
Sadly I do not have a Barclaycard account but it's cool to see this being tested now!
I've just tried this on iOS & got an error "Barclaycard is not supported", when I tapped continue on the 3rd screen.
Hey, thanks for sharing - at what point in the flow do you see that screen?
It may be there's one more feature flag we need to activate. one moment!
Same here. Right after pressing the 'Connect to…' button (on iOS).
Do you have more information on this? Truelayer ask for your full login details (at least elsewhere), this gives them the ability to have full access not read only access. What's stopping them except from going to prison if caught?
Give it a couple of minutes then try again - we forgot to remove the staff-only feature flag on the backend.
Thanks for catching that so quickly!
Could you provide some more information on the "connection issues" you experienced with AMEX? Is this an AMEX only issue? i.e. why Barclaycard is now the preferred option.
Also how easy is the read-across to other CreditCards? Say Barclaycard comes out of Labs in 2-3 weeks, will say Lloyds CreditCards be easier to implement/ quicker?
They are regulated by the FCA, much like banks and other open banking services - so would suffer large penalties if they used details for anything other than what they're given permission for.
I'm 'connected' now, just waiting for my balance to feed through (as the app says).
"Connected" here, waiting to see it in the account tab.
Yes, working now and waiting. New Account tab has appeared as promised.
