[EX Q]: Actor John Bradley  who plays Sam  Tarly  told TV Guide that characters are going to keep being pushed by new elements and traveling the seven kingdoms deeper and faster than ever before.
"Each of the characters this year is placed in a completely alien environment at some point in the season that they've never been placed in before "  Bradley  said. "The thrill is seeing how they react to it and how they respond... This season  I think  more than any other is stretching these characters."
But  Bradley 's comments are intriguing from a character perspective. An alien environment isn't necessarily a physical place; it's an unfamiliar situation (Arya  no longer sniffing out traitors)  an important task (Cersei trying to play nice with others)  or a new threat (White! Walkers!).
"The stakes definitely feel ramped up  " Bradley  told TV Guide. "We know that we've got a real job to do. This has been a part of people's lives for so many years. This is our eighth season  and we are kind of feeling the pressure to get it right because we want to satisfy people...we just kind of want to give them an ending that they deserve."

[EX Q]: The peer-to-peer lender LendingClub  is on the cusp of being investigated by the US Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission  and it is in emergency talks to coax more buyers onto its platform to shore up the business.
 LendingClub  made the disclosures in a regulatory filing on Monday.  It  follows the shock ousting of  LendingClub  founder and CEO Renaud Laplanche last week after an internal review. The stock crashed 26% on the day and is down over 50% since then.
The board cited issues with "data integrity and contract approval monitoring and review processes" for Laplanche's exit  as well as issues surrounding an apparent financial conflict of interest in an investment Laplanche made in a company doing business with  LendingClub .
The forced exit of Laplanche has sent  LendingClub  into a full-blown crisis that threatens the very core of  its  business.
UPDATE: Since  publication LendingClub  has provided BI with the following statement:
 LendingClub  was founded in 2007 and is a peer-to-peer lender; consumers can take out loans of up to $40 000 (Â£27 654)  supplied by a third party  that are then packaged up and sold to institutional investors who want to receive the stream of interest payments in return. It matches lenders with investors  a little like UK companies such as Zopa.
 LendingClub  says:
But Laplanche also failed to disclose his personal interest in  a fund that LendingClub was considering investing in   and The Journal claims he had invested millions in  that fund  so it could buy LendingClub's loans  effectively to boost demand.
The vehicle  which Bloomberg said was Cirrix Capital  bought $114.5 million worth of  LendingClub  loans in the first quarter of the year  according to Monday's filing.  LendingClub  director John Mack and Laplanche are all investors in Cirrix  according to Bloomberg. Cirrix is now helping Lending Club with emergency funding.
 LendingClub  claims to take no credit risk itself  but  it  clearly has some exposure to the risk if  it  is investing in a fund that is buying  its  loans. Discussing  LendingClub 's investment in the vehicle that bought the loans   LendingClub  says  it  "determined none of these events were required to be recognized or disclosed."
As a result of the whole fiasco   LendingClub  has received a grand jury subpoena from the US Department of Justice and has been contacted by the SEC   it  said in a filing on Monday.  The company  says "no assurance can be given as to the timing or outcome of these matters. "
LendingClub  also warns that  it  may face legal proceedings over the whole thing  but  it  says  it  doesn't think any liabilities from an eventual judgment will have a "material effect on  its  financial condition."
 LendingClub  is already facing two class-action lawsuits in the US  both filed since the start of the year.
One  filed in California  accuses  the company  of "making materially false and misleading statements in the registration statement and prospectus issued in connection with the IPO regarding  among other things  the company's business model  compliance with regulatory matters  and their impact on  the company 's business  operations  and future results."
Another  lodged in New York  claims people "received loans  through  the company 's platform  that exceeded states' usury limits in violation of state usury and consumer protection laws."

[EX Q]: Alison Friedman  continued to surpass the fundraising of  her  eight Democratic competitors for the partyâs nomination to challenge Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) in November  in what could be one of the nationâs most hotly contested midterm congressional races.
 Friedman   an anti-human-
trafficking activist  tapped California celebrities and philanthropists to help  her  raise more than $1 million in about six months.
 Her  most well-known donors include actress Jennifer Garner; singer Barbra Streisand; Alexander Soros  son of the liberal billionaire donor George Soros; and Peter Getty  grandson of the oil tycoon. Other notable donors to  Friedman  include Donna Brazile  former head of the Democratic National Committee; singer Graham Nash; singer Bonnie Raitt; and Eleanor Smeal  president of the Feminist Majority Foundation.
 Friedman   who moved from Washington to McLean in April to run for the seat  worked for People for the American Way and a California congresswoman before a six-year stint in the State Departmentâs anti-trafficking office  which ended in 2015.
In a news release   Friedman  said  she  raised more money from individual donors than all of the Democrats  as well as Comstock.
Comstockâs campaign pointed out that most of  Friedmanâs  money has come from donors in California.
Pelletier  who entered the race in October  raised $207 044 for the quarter  slightly more than Wexton  although both lagged behind  Friedman .
 Friedman  is spending at a quick pace  but  she  still had the most cash going into 2018 with $687 085  followed by Helmer with $482 543  Wexton with $473 796 and Stover with $413 621.
