Squarespace made a name for itself as a powerful website builder with a range of hosting options. But its eCommerce solution is a lesser known component of the company's product line.
Squarespace claims its eCommerce division provides users with one of the most advanced eCommerce solutions on the market.
However, with so many choices, is Squarespace eCommerce really one of your best options?
A Web Builder That Does More
First and foremost, Squarespace is a web building platform. The company provides users with easy-to-use web design tools.
If you're not experienced in web development, Squarespace can help you build on online website or store.
Squarespace provides professional themes and templates that cover a variety of designs. So, if you decide you want to change the design in a few months, you can swap your template without any major issues.
For this reason, Squarespace is one of the most flexible eCommerce web builders on the market. The company's focus in this area means you won't have to sacrifice aesthetics for functionality.
You can also create digital catalogs, embed videos, import high-definition imaging, and employ a range of other product display options.
If the design of your eCommerce store is your priority, I recommend Squarespace.
Squarespace eCommerce Integration
Squarespace provides seamless integration for all its eCommerce applications. You won't need to customize themes or templates when setting up your online store. You can add or drop applications with the click of a button.
You can add events, products, services, blogs and plenty of other features -- all via a central platform.
Social Media Integration
I like to work with eCommerce companies that value social media. In the modern world of digital marketing, it's essential that your online store has a social media presence.
Fortunately, you can manage content and product sharing on social media directly through the Squarespace commerce platform. You can mass-post across multiple platforms at the same time.
This is a great feature. It will save you time and keep your social media presence up-to-date.
Automated Shipping Function
One of the most essential components of any eCommerce store is shipping logistics. You need to be able to be able to efficiently ship products and maintain control of inventory.
Many Squarespace eCommerce reviews overlook the importance of an automated shipping platform.
So, does Squarespace have an automatic shipping function?
Yes. You can calculate real-time shipping rates and delivery times with most shipping companies in the United States. Squarespace will also keep track of your inventory data to help you manage your products as they're purchased.
While its shipping function isn't as strong as some 'drop-shipping' eCommerce providers, it still saves you time and money.
Squarespace eCommerce Pricing
Squarespace offers two different eCommerce packages – Basic and Advanced. If you're purchasing the Basic plan; the monthly plan is $30 per month and the yearly plan is $26 per month. If you buy the Advanced plan; the monthly plan is $46 per month, and the annual plan is $40 per month.
|Price Per Month (Annual)
|Price Per Month (Monthly)
|Unlimited Products
|24/7 Customer Support
|Customer Accounts
|Gift Cards
|Advanced Shipping
|Flexible Discounts
There aren't too many differences between the basic and advanced packages. But if you want to take advantage of premium store options - such as gift cards, advanced shipping, and discounts - the advanced package is worth the few extra dollars.
Considering the range of eCommerce and web building features included in this plan, it's definitely a solid option.
Regarding a Squarespace transaction fee, the company partners with Stripe to process most transactions. Stripe charges 30c + 2.9% of the value of the transaction.
Free Trial - Can You Try Before You Commit?
If you're investing in an eCommerce platform, it's essential to try the service before you make any large purchases.
Squarespace offers a free trial of its eCommerce platform to help users adapt to its platform. A 14-day free trial is available with any of its packages.
Is Squarespace eCommerce Any Good?
It's essential to consider all the features included in an eCommerce package before making a purchasing decision.
Squarespace provides the perfect mix of eCommerce solutions and web building tools. You can design an aesthetic site with a powerful online store. Integrated shipping and payments also provide added functionality.
Best of all, you don't have to break the bank to purchase this service. I highly recommend it.

Before we start reading scientific papers we should all agree what science is. We all know what science is, right?
So what is it?
From the Oxford English Dictionary (Shorter)
"Theoretical perception of a truth, as contrasted with moral conviction (conscience)."
Sounds a little loose a definition for my purposes, and like it is a derivation of the argument between rationalists and theologians at the beginning of the Enlightenment. Perhaps I should have bought the full OED.

Most of our farming and ranching enterprises would welcome a little more help from time to time. That additional help can be hard to find or find with the skills desired. In other cases, hiring help may put too much strain on the budget. One-way cow/calf producers can make the time they do have go a bit further is by using an electronic personal assistant called the Management Minder. It keeps track of key dates and activities as they relate to managing the herd and shows them to you on an electronic calendar. Reminders automatically pop-up on your smart phone based on your inputs. There is some investment of time initially to set it up, but from that point on, it's on the job working for you. You can find the Management Minder at www.KSUBeef.org/managementminder. Continue reading "Tally Time – Resolve to get a Personal Assistant for your Cow/Calf Operation in 2019"

According to an Atlas of Mental Health created by CentreForum think tank people living in the South of England re more likely to say they are unhappy despite having lower levels of mental illness including depression.
People living in London Bedford, Milton Keynes, Brighton, and parts of Kent claim to be the unhappiest in the country – yet they have some of the lowest levels of diagnosed mental health problems.
Five of Britain's unhappiest 20 places were in London including the borough of Barking and Dagenham which came in the top five on two measures of unhappiness and yet had the 23rd lowest level of mental health problems.
In the league table of areas with the highest long-term mental health problems only Brighton & Hove (which came 3rd in the table) and Nottingham (7th) were outside the North and North West. The other worst areas in descending order were: Middlesborough, Blackpool, Manchester, Stockton on Tees, Knowsley, Nottingham, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Salford
Northern areas tend to receive less support for mental health issues and in some areas people are 4 times more likely to die from a mental health problem.
Poor mental health often leads to a poor diet, heavy drinking and smoking, all of which can lead to cancer or heart disease.
One in six adults suffers from mental illness such as depression or anxiety at some time in their lives.

Launched in 2008, one of Europe's finest vessels the five-star Swiss Sapphire is another of our Swiss-managed ships, a true embodiment of luxurious river cruising of the highest standards as befits its flag.
Accommodating just 120 guests in stylish surroundings befitting a top quality hotel, and in contrast many similar ships carrying up to 200 people, you are assured the personal touch and a very spacious atmosphere in cabins and public areas alike. The ship's talented designers have brought to bear their decades of experience, incorporating a range of outstanding design features in superbly appointed cabins, gracious lounges and restaurants so your river cruise is one to treasure for years to come. Boarding through the elegant lobby, the décor's luxurious quality, the spacious feel of the public areas and a five-star ambience are immediately apparent. Superior quality fittings, subdued, atmospheric lighting, warm colours, highly polished pink and black marble floors and splendid wrought ironwork and gold banisters ensure that a gentle wander around the vessel promises classic cruising of a very high standard. There is a small boutique for your everyday requirements and forward on Diamond (upper) Deck is the elegant, deep-carpeted lounge and bar with a variety of leather and soft armchairs plus settees so whatever your mood or time of day, you have the ideal space in which to relax. Surrounded by extensive panoramic windows you can fully appreciate the passing scenery's splendours and the true fascination of everyday river life. All our ships' lounges offer guests an elegant space to relax in the most genteel of surroundings, a theme that is perfectly evoked here in subtle use of contrasting colour, lighting and décor; the results of using superbly talented interior designers are very well evidenced. Quality also extends to the 'professional' behind the bar, happy to prepare simple yet perfectly prepared fruit juices or a sophisticated cocktail - the perfect spot to while away the evenings with the gentle melodies of the ship's pianist in the background. Or perhaps join your friends for a twirl on the purpose designed dance floor. Aft on Diamond Deck is the Lido bar, probably one of the ship's most intimate areas, ideal to catch up on some reading, play chess or perhaps have a coffee whilst taking in the view through the panoramic floor to ceiling sliding windows. Descending the regal, wrought-iron staircase, also served by a lift, brings you to the Ruby (middle) Deck where the ship's main restaurant has the pleasantly wonderful feel of a top culinary establishment – which is exactly what it is! Exceptional tableware and high quality service compliment local and international creations presented at their very best. This is a truly superior fine-dining experience matching first-class restaurants onshore. Our very well-received open dining arrangements mean you can sit with whomever and wherever you wish, at tables ranging in size from four to six so you can be as private or sociable as you like. A staircase leads to the Emerald (lower) Deck featuring a small yet well-appointed fitness centre to help keep you in trim after all those sumptuous meals plus a treatment room for massages if you feel like pampering yourself (small additional fee). Crowning the entire ship is the Sun Deck, the perfect place to relax and wonder at the passing scenery. Here you can practice your swing on the 'putting' green, enjoy a game of giant chess, reflect on life from the perspective of the whirlpool Jacuzzi, unobtrusively watch the wildlife or marvel at the masterful way in which the captain and crew effortlessly ease the vessel along the river's course. Just forward of the wheelhouse is the Forward Sun Deck, a quiet spot where you can enjoy a yacht-like ambience and reflect on just how pleasant life can be. The Swiss Sapphire, where the Swiss service is alive and well, and a really special and intimate cruise awaits you.

While hydrogen is highly flammable, it has a significant advantage in that it does not pool and diffuses much more quickly than conventional fuels. The autoignition temperature of hydrogen is also quite high (around 580 C).

Forgive Tinny For His Childish Behavior – Socrate Safo
Controversial movie producer, Socrate Safo has pleaded with Ghanaians not to hold grudges with musician Tinny for releasing a song to attack him personality because he is still a child.
The 'Hot Fork' movie producer in an interview with Abrantepa on Radio Univers in Accra on Monday, said Tinny will grow up to know what he did was wrong.
Socrate said after hearing the song Tinny released to attack him, he appreciated the artistic value he exhibited on the track but not the insults he showered on him.
According to him, his criticism on Peace FM about Tinny's song "Badder Than Them" remix which features Edem and Jupiter, made him improve his skills on the latest "Socrate Atanfo" song. He said the song "Socrate Atanfo" is better than his earlier song "Badder Than Them" remix.
Socrate Safo added that he is not worried about what Tinny said in the song but is concerned with how Tinny improved on his talent on his latest track "Socrate Atanfo" compared to the remix of "Badder Than Them" which created the whole problem.

by Dave Mindeman
Kurt Daudt is said to be a rising Republican star in Minnesota. And so, I have to seriously wonder about his judgment as he chooses to become the state chair of the Walker for President campaign....
"In Minnesota, we've seen how our neighbor, Wisconsin, has been able to turn around under the strong leadership of Gov. Walker," Daudt said.
Seriously, Daudt? You want to go there?
Here's what Daudt will be explaining to Republicans in Minnesota.
Wisconsin leads the nation in African-American unemployment. Currently 19.5%.
Scott Walker is cutting $300 million from Wisconsin universities but spending $500 million for the Bucks' basketball arena.
From Sept 2013 to Sept 2014, Wisconsin ranked 40th in the nation in private sector job growth.
Wisconsin is 50th in the nation for new business start-ups.
I'm sorry, Kurt Daudt, do you really want to point out that record ....especially speaking from Minnesota where the contrast between the two is not the kind of comparison that makes a conservative look good.
While it's tricky to attribute the well-being of a state's economy solely to its political leadership, Minnesota is experiencing much stronger growth than its neighbor. Dayton has also proved responsive to the business community, easing early fears that his liberalism might go unchecked.
Walker, on the other hand, has doubled down to the detriment of his state on policies that are backfiring. And if voters in his home state aren't buying what he's selling anymore, that doesn't bode well for his presidential campaign.
Yes, if Kurt Daudt is looking at the policies of Scott Walker as worthy of his admiration, then Daudt is betting on the wrong horse.
And maybe, it also means that we need a different Speaker of the House.

How Long Is the Zumba Cardio Workout?
How Long Is the Zumba Cardio Workout?
Zumba Fitness combines Latin-inspired and international music with dance steps to provide cardio workout that's more like a party. Hopefully, participants have fun, almost without noticing they are getting a good calorie burn at the same time.
Zumba workouts can be done in two ways: in a class or with a DVD. Although classes will vary in length based on the gym and the instructor, they're typically around an hour long. DVDs, on the other hand, come in a wide range of lengths.
Get your heart rate up during a Zumba workout.
Studio Classes
You can consider a live Zumba Fitness class a cardio workout in every sense of the word. Instructors typically provide a class lasting 55 to 60 minutes, depending on their agreement with the fitness club or dance studio they work for.
The cardio workout consists of a 5- to 10-minute warm-up and a 5-minute cool-down. The middle of the class presents up-tempo numbers that provide interval training, with intensive bursts of dancing interspersed with more moderate activity to allow you to catch your breath.
Zumba DVDs
The creators of Zumba have produced a number of DVD workouts that you can sweat through at home. The length of time each takes depends on the DVD that you choose.
For example, Zumba Blitz features three high-intensity 20-minute workouts; you can do one for a quick workout or all three for a lengthy session. Zumba Max is a 60-minute session, while Zumba Country — set to music with a Southern twang — includes two 30-minutes workouts.

Family-Friendly Websites to Excite Children about Their Heritage
If you want to excite your children about their family history, you have to begin by increasing their knowledge of YOU and YOUR HERITAGE. Here are a few sites that you can use to gather ideas for activities you can do with your children or to visit with your children (or grandchildren) sitting beside you.
Learn About Places
On the Kid's National Geographic website, children can learn the current form of government, population, language, and the currency used. Children can learn about geography, history, and the culture of states, and countries around the world. This site can serve as a spring
Learn About Dates
I found this site when creating scrapbooks for my children,
More About Dates
I'm a HUGE fan of the History Channel and I love their This Day In History website with quick videos and short articles about past events that happened each day of the year.
Talk During Dinner
This website is not for children to use and explore, it's for you to find conversation starters. The Family Dinner Project has so many ideas about getting children to talk, many of which can be twisted to talk about ancestors.
These are just a few of the useful websites that I have found to excite my children about their heritage. Granted, most of my heritage is Texas and Ohio, but there is a bit of Canadian and German in the mix. What other family-friendly websites have you found? Let me know and I'll add them to the list!

DescriptionIn the tropics, exotic plants have been widely introduced for industrial timber, for land reclamation and forage crops, and as ornamentals. In spite of the apparent opportunity for naturalization and spread, invasive exotic plants are scarce in many continental tropical forests. We examine several conditions under which exotic species do pose substantial threats to toprical ecosystems or to their management.

Does Print Media Carry Certain Advantages Over Digital?
In recent years, online advertising has grown immensely, leading to a decline in the number of advertisers choosing print media.
However, Forbes, which is, of course, a print publication, suggests that print still has its benefits, including helping a brand to reach a niche audience, to have a place in something physical and tangible, and to add credibility among some readers.
Print advertising is not dead because it can still offer things that the internet can't, Forbes says. For example, the post says, "Internet ads can disappear into cyber space instantaneously."
But, then again, online content also exists beyond tomorrow's fish wrap.
Proponents of online advertising counter that digital ads and content offer a higher level of engagement though the searchable and sharable nature of online communities. The effectiveness of online content and ads is also measurable in ways print results can never be, allowing marketers to take advantage of metrics and respond to what the audience is saying by its actions.
Online ad spending will surpass print this year for the first time. Print is a medium that may be teetering but has yet to be fully conquered by online ads.

Our Saturday Spot Plays were largely terrible or overbet or both, so let's try to do better today. We have just two faces to focus on, but they are both very good and competitive fields – one at Gulfstream and one at Aqueduct.
Gulfstream 10th – 3yo fillies, MSW, 8.5 furlongs, turf – #9 Moonlit Cove (6-1) is a horse that has encountered trouble in each of her first two starts. The well-bred (Giant's Causeway out of Grade-1 winner Star Billing) had a very wide trip in her debut behind a slow pace. Then last time, she was in good position only to get stymied and shuffled back at the top of the lane and ultimately forced inside where she may have been a tad reluctant to go on through. The runner-up in that race is back today, #3 Asticou Trail (4-1) who can certainly win but Moonlit Cove will be a better price and has run two better-than-it-looks races. The longshot use for us is #2 Elude (15-1). She was making her turf debut on January 7th and was totally stuck in behind horses and never got a chance to run at all through the lane for trainer Tom Albetrani. #1 Talaagy (7-2) was also in that race with Elude and had a clean wide run to just miss. She can also win, but both Moonlit Cove and Elude will be very good prices worth including.
Play – Moonlit Cove to win and box in the exacta with Elude, Asticou Trail, and Talaagy.
Aqueduct 9th – Franklin Square Stakes – 3yo NY-bred fillies, 6 furlongs, dirt – #9 Maple Mo (2-1) is the horse to beat and ran well to break her maiden last time for trainer Linda Rice (who won four races between Aqueduct and Laurel yesterday). But there are a few potential other speed horses including #2 Bluegrass Flag (3-1), who was aided by a gold rail last time. We'll take a shot with #10 Wilburnmoney (12-1). She'll have to run faster, but her last two are better than they look. Two back, off a three-month layoff, she was compromised by a slow pace that was wired. Then last time in an allowance race, she was waiting to get to the outside late on the turn and into the top of the lane, and when she did get clear, came with a decent rally. That might have been a weaker field, but Wilburnmoney might get some pace to attack here at a big price. #7 Overnegotiate (5-1) turns back after pressing a scalding pace that fell apart going long and has two sprint races that are good enough.
Play – Wilburnmoney to win and box in the exacta with Maple Mo and Overnegotiate.

Empresses adapted to impress: Examining adaptation and translation in the TV Series Empresses in the Palace
Zhang, Shasha and Perdikaki, Katerina (2017) Empresses adapted to impress: Examining adaptation and translation in the TV Series Empresses in the Palace New Voices in Translation Studies, 17. pp. 105-131.
Empresses in the Palace_final.pdf - Accepted version Manuscript
Download (589kB) | Preview
This article examines the interrelation between adaptation and translation and the impact of this interrelation on the communication of cultural content in audiovisual products. The paper focuses on the case of the American adaptation Empresses in the Palace, which is based on the Chinese TV series The Legend of Zhen Huan. Empresses in the Palace was subtitled from Chinese into English and it was broadcast on US Netflix. The study discusses the adaptation changes that occur between the Chinese and the American version and the subtitling strategies used to render culture-specific references (CSRs). The American adaptation is a considerably edited version of the Chinese series; yet it is overloaded with cultural information which may be inaccessible to an English-speaking audience. The analysis shows that the condensation involved in the American adaptation affects the translation of CSRs and has potential implications for the circulation of cultural products in a digital era

Animals and Cake!
The children have had lots of fun in the last few weeks. Firstly, Betty celebrated her 6th birthday. She enjoyed a delicious cake from Jutta and Francesca. It has also been Neema's birthday (second picture) and she turned 9 years old. The children also enjoyed a wonderful trip to Arusha National Park during the school holidays. They really enjoyed playing and spending their holiday time with Francesco and Giulia who arranged that trip.

Some of those things are harder to teach than others to a degree that's equally effective.The trouble with pass protection is that the weakest link determines the strength of the chain. With run blocking, you can get away with some pretty poor execution away from the POA much of the time, and if you have a bad particular matchup in a particular game it's not going to kill your whole running game. Pass blocking, anyone's breakdown can be deadly.With run blocking, there's only a few things your target might do, and most of them will take him out of the play anyway. Pass blocking, your opponent might have any of several moves -- not that he's likely to have been coached in several, only that you'll meet different opponents and some of them will have different moves that they might not even have been coached in -- and many of them won't take him out of the play but lead him right to your passer. Your line sets, and then you see your better blocker is wasted against their bear crawler, and you can't move them around.Coaching up players in a spin series, etc. is simplified by the fact that you've selected just a few players to do it.

Goldman Sachs President David Solomon's promotion to chief executive officer in October sets off a cascade of vacancies, none more important than for his current position.
Solomon, 56, will likely announce his successor — or a pair of them as co-presidents — in September before taking the reins from Lloyd Blankfein, according to people with knowledge of the situation.
Here are the leading candidates:
John Waldron, 49:
Waldron, a star dealmaker who came from Bear Stearns like Solomon, has been given a series of high-profile roles within the investment bank, culminating with his being named co-head of the advisory division in 2014. He joined Goldman in 2000 and has been co-head of the media and entertainment group and a practice catering to private equity firms.

You are hereForums / Genealogy Research / ALONSO DE RUBALCAVA
Hola prim@s,
On 16 May 1566, in Guadalajara, Alonso de Rubalcava appears as a witness in the PROCESO CONTRA JUAN DE BERMEO. His testimony is only in regards to the case, and gives no genealogical information - but it does list him as "maestro de la obra de nra sta yglesia(?), plus it gives us his approximate age (42/1524) and a signature (so we now know what he called himself: Alonso de Rubalcava or Robalcava).
Does anybody know his origins? Most have him as son of Mateo Rubalcava cc Juana Maria Gonzalez, and a grandson of conquistador Ruy Gonzalez and an Indian woman. I've seen books referenced, but I am leery of secondary resources, since we've seen some disproven with newer findings.
This new birth year raises new questions: if Alonso de Rubalcava was born ca 1524, that's going to make it difficult for him to be grandson of a 1st conqueror. Ages given on these documents are rarely 100% accurate; I usually give them plus or minus 10 years. But even if he were born in 1534, it would be a tight squeeze. Anybody?
Gracias y saludos,
Manny Diez Hermosillo
I think it's possible that we're wrong about Ruy Gonzalez age. he first appears in 1519 with Narvaez and I think most people estimated he was born around 1490-1495 but it's possible he was 10 years or more older than that in which case it's more than possible
When you stated that he was "maestro de la obra de nra sta yglesia",I think the information below, from Retonos, fits your Alonso de Rubalcava, as he was a church architect in two different places.
All this information comes from Mariano González-Leal, Retoños de España;
Tomo IV Vol. II; GONZÁLEZ DE RUBALCAVA -- pp. 293-319.
Don Alonso De ROBALCAVA
Born in 1526 in Las Heras, Palencia (Castilla y León), SPAIN
Father: Don Mateo De ROBALCAVA
Mother: Juana María GONZÁLEZ
The family moves to Nueva Galicia, MEXICO sometime between 1540–1545. Alonzo is about age 14–19.
1548 – Relations with "una India"
Their son Domingo De ROBALCAVA (1548- ) is considered Mestizo
Move: 1560 (about age 34) Pátzcuaro, Michoacán Occupation (1560–1567): The Viceroy of Mexico requested that Alonso use his profession, architect, as an act of mercy (i.e., no pay) for the Augustinian friars. Don Alonso and Fray Jerónimo de la Magadalena worked on the mission, first Catholic outpost in this territory in Santiágo de Copándaro, Michoacán
Property (8 August 1560): As a reward for working as architect on the Augustinian mission, Viceroy of New Spain, Don Luís de Velasco granted Don Alonso a large estancia, which would be passed to his descendants in perpetuity.
Occupation (1565): Don Alonso was the principal architect in Guadalajara for the second Cathedral. Guadalajara's population had grown since the first was built in the early 1500's. The new Cathedral was constructed of adobe and had three naves.
Marriage 1568 (about age 42)
Wife: Doña Beatriz LÓPEZ DE FUENLLANA (1546-1607)
They have 10 children, born between 1569 & 1581.
Hope this helps,
Lucy Sweeney
Hi Lucy,
Thank you, that is the same Alonso de Robalcava. That he was born in Las Heras, Palencia, is new to me. The other details are super helpful, too.
Here's a link to another NR thread, regarding the testamento of his wife, Beatriz Lopez, and a court case against her brother, Fray Diego de Fuenllana - which gives a partial genealogy:
Thanks again!
Manny Diez Hermosillo
Thanks fir the link, Manny.
Thanks for the link, Manny.

How Are CFOs Planning To Respond to COVID-19?Read more
For years now, the technology world has witnessed a battle rage between iOS and Android enthusiasts. Anybody familiar with this tech battle always suspected that generalities can be drawn between both camps. Now, there's research to prove it!
The recent study was performed by Battery Ventures, a venture capital firm. The study's results can both give you ammunition for your own device debates, as well as help with your company's marketing efforts. Here are a few of the most notable conclusions drawn from the study:
Android Users: More Likely To…
- Eat at McDonald's.
- Ride Public Transportation.
- Be Religious.
- Drink Beer Over Wine.
- Use Tobacco Products.
- Work a Blue Collar Job.
iOS Users: More Likely To…
- Have Flown in an Airplane within the past Year.
- Have Investments in the Stock Market.
- Drink Wine over Beer.
- Work a White Collar Job.
After reviewing this list, your mind may be racing to fit people that you know into these stereotypes, or you may even see yourself in some of these generalities. Or, you may even deem this list to be hogwash because you're an iPhone user that eats at McDonalds. Then there are other smartphone users that aren't even considered, like Windows Phone and Blackberry users.
This study has uses that extend far beyond determining what kind of smartphone users you should socialize with. Data like this can help you make better marketing decisions for your business. For example, if you own a brewery or a hardware store, then you will want to focus your mobile marketing efforts on the Android platform. If you're a financial planner, then making an iPhone app for your business will be a smart move.
Marketing your business on a mobile platform is no longer an option. The latest smartphone user statistics make mobile marketing out to be a solid investment for your company's advertising efforts.
- 60% American adults own smartphones.
- 4 out of 5 of which use their smartphones to shop.
- Mobile Internet browsing is expected to overtake desktop browsing as soon as this year.
- 72% small business owners planned to maintain or increase (by up to 30%) their mobile ad spending this year.
Your smartphone says a lot about you, maybe even more than you realize. To learn about the best way to utilize mobile technology for your business, call Tektonic at (416) 256-9928.

India Wants Pakistan Declared a "Terrorist State".....
NEW DELHI (AlArabiya.net, Reuters)
"It is time for the international community to think whether to declare Pakistan a terrorist country," Manish Tewari, the ruling Congress party spokesman said in New Delhi, in reference to the end from house arrest of Pakistani nuclear Abdul Qadeer Khan.
Khan, the man at the centre of the world' most serious nuclear proliferation scandal, was released on Friday after five years of house arrest.

Pakistan is a weak state
Dr. Ivo Sanader, Croatia [ Sunday, February 08, 2009 ]
Pakistan is just a weak state that isn't able to control many parts of its own territory. Some lousy Taliban terrorists are posing a threat to Pakistan and its army seems incapable of coping with them. Its security forces can't prevent and stop numerous terrorist attacks on civilian and state institution targets. This is why India shouldn't bother about Pakistan as much as it does. Pakistan just can't afford itself to start another war with India. India would just chew Pakistan and spit it.

Indians are getting way over their heads, they are occupying by force Kashmir, Sri Lanka and many other states, i believe it is time to call on the liberation of people including the sikh who want their own country. Let us see how much of india will be left to be called a DEMOCRACY, i call it the democracy of stick and stones and breaking of bones, where in each and every indian election 1000 die and as many lose their limbs in a railroad bombing. India is trying to play it both ways, supprt to israel, terrorize muslims and act as if they are the creators of wisdom, not a chance.

War and peace
[ Sunday, February 08, 2009 ]
This reminds me of when my marriage broke up - my 5 year old wanted to divorce my 4 year old because she didn't like her (and she didn't do what my 5 year old told her); and my 5 year old warned me that, if I didn't do as I was told she would leave me too. We can all divide the world up into the good 'us' and the evil 'them' - as the West and the Jihadists do; we can divide it into what's in the light and and what's in the shadow without noticing that unity contains both; or we can strive to build peace, and look at the tough issues that are preventing it.

Name:Michael Abel Alao
Hospital/Affiliation: Department of Paediatrics, University College Hospital Ibadan/Department of Paediatrics, Bowen University Hospital ogbomoso
Home Country: Nigeria
Host Country: Nigeria
Year: started in 2016
Status of the program: IN PROGRESS
Title of the project:
Community-based evaluation of renal dysfunction among children age 1-18 years using cystatin C in Ogbomoso Community, South-West
CKD, Pediatric Nephrology
Short description of the project or abstract:
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has recently been designated a disease of public health importance. Its prevalence has risen significantly with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) rising 600% within a period of three decades as illustrated by the United States Renal Data System (USRDS). Children of African descent are 3 times more vulnerable to CKD than caucasians in the United States inferring a likely vulnerability of the Nigerian child.
However, limited data exist on GFR -based evaluation of renal function in sub-Saharan Africa in the community compared to hospital-based data which may not be representative of the general population.
This study seeks to determine the prevalence of CKD in the community using cystatin C, an early biomarker of CKD, determine the severity and some associated risk factors.
1: This study seeks to determine the community-based prevalence of CKD using cystatin C-based eGFR in the paediatric population in Ogbomoso Community, South–West Nigeria.
2: Compare creatinine-based eGFR using Updated Schartz formula and cystatin C-based eGFR in Ogbomoso community
3: To identify some factors associated with CKD in Ogbomoso community
Rationale: Data available on CKD in paediatric are mainly hospital-based and may be non-representative of the true prevalence. Community–based study would capture the asymptomatic phase of CKD well above hospital-based data. This may be an ideal starting point for evidence-based renal care.
Population and Study design: This is a longitudinal study involving 630 selected children among 126,922 subjects aged 1 to 18 years in Ogbomoso Community ,South-West Nigeria.
Duration: The study would last a period of eight months
Significance: There are limited prior paediatric eGFR-population-based studies in Nigeria.This intends to provide a cystatin C and creatinine –based eGFR of paediatric population in Nigeria.
Learning or research objectives:
• Determine the prevalence of CKD in the community using cystatin C.
• Determine eGFR of children aged 1 – 18 years.
• Determine the severity of CKD in the community using the eGFR.
• Compare creatinine based eGFR to cystatin C based eGFR.
• Risk factors for CKD in the community.

Investment Fraud Attorneys
Financial advisors encourage investors to believe in them, building relationships with investors and relying on a foundation of trust and confidence to conduct business. Sadly, there will always be brokers who abuse this trust and use the broker-investor relationship to their own ends. Brokers and brokerage firms often claim they act in the best interests of their investors when, in reality, they may convince investors to purchase investments and securities with incomplete, deficient or misleading information or investments that unsuitable, which is to say are not appropriate for their clients.
When broker misconduct or deceit results in investor financial losses, victims need a team of high-quality attorneys they can rely on for representation. There aren't many such law firms available, however. In the U.S., there are only about 300 law firms who tackle this kind of work, and of those, very few do it full-time. Erez Law has the depth, resources and personnel that other firms – both large and small – don't possess. Our firm has the manpower and infrastructure other investment loss firms lack.
Helping You Fight Dishonest Brokers
Erez Law serves investors who have suffered losses at the hands of fraudulent and dishonest brokers from across the U.S. including Puerto Rico and nations across Latin America, like Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela. Many people lose their retirement savings and investments without realizing they were working with a bad broker. While stock and bond prices do rise and fall, some losses stem from broker misconduct – not the natural market tide. The experienced investment recovery lawyers at Erez Law can help clients tell the difference between honest and fraudulent losses.
Erez Law understands that investors have worked for years and often decades saving for retirement, children's education, to support family members, to accumulate wealth, to create a sense of financial security or to leave behind a legacy. Dishonest brokerage firms and brokers can dash those aspirations with just a few bad recommendations or actions. Investors that sustained investment losses may be the victims of brokerage firms and financial advisors that are incompetent or acted intentionally to mislead their customers.
Whether by negligence or fraud, brokerage firms and financial advisors that have failed to follow industry standards and applicable rules and laws may be responsible for their customer's losses. Erez Law specializes in representing investors in cases to recover investment losses when caused by wrongful conduct. Erez Law represents individual investors, retirees, trusts, pension plans, partnerships, family partnerships, family offices and ultra-high net worth individuals.
Jeffrey Erez and his team of licensed investment loss attorneys help investors who have sustained significant stock and bond losses, fund losses, or structured product losses due to bad financial advisors. As a skilled securities fraud and broker misconduct law firm, we can thoroughly investigate your claim and tell you if we believe you have a case. We will help you decipher if a bad broker infringed upon your rights as a trusting investor.
Types of Investment Fraud
Securities firms and the brokers they employ have a duty to only recommend suitable investments. Thus, there are strict regulations that they must follow, from state and federal laws overseen by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), to obligations imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Agency (FINRA). Brokers acting as advisors that are compensated based on the assets they manage are charged with a fiduciary duty. Additionally, some states impose a higher fiduciary duty on brokers. If the firm fails to train or supervise its brokers properly or does not properly investigate securities prior to selling them to clients, they may be held liable for the customer's investment losses.
If you lost money due to broker fraud or misconduct, your broker recommended unsuitable or inappropriate investments given your circumstances, objectives and risk tolerance, your broker misrepresented the risks of an investment, or your advisor failed to diversify your portfolio properly, you may be able to take legal action. The team at Erez Law have recovered over $150 million dollars on behalf of our clients who have suffered unnecessary losses at the hands of a broker they trusted, and we are prepared to help you. Types of investment fraud cases we have handled include:
- GPB Capital Holdings Fraud
- Steepeners/Structured Products Investment Losses
- UBS Yield Enhancement Strategy (YES) Investment Loss
- Hedge Fund Fraud
- Preferred Shares of Stock Fraud
- Junk Bonds and Junk Bonds Fraud
- Ponzi Schemes
- Fraudulent Oil and Energy Investments
- Private Placement Fraud
- Structured Products
- Puerto Rico Bond Fraud
- EB-5 Immigrant Investor Fraud
- Variable Annuity Investment Fraud
You have a right to expect that your investment advisor will act in an ethical and responsible manner, all while striving to meet the obligations required of them according to industry rules, state and federal laws. When the people we entrust with our hard-earned money fail to work on our behalf and instead act on their own self-interests, our belief in the system and our financial futures suffer. That's why the team at Erez Law has committed to holding securities firms and brokers accountable for their greedy or irresponsible actions. We do it to protect you, the investor, and to protect others from falling prey to their fraudulent schemes.
Erez Law represents investors on a contingency fee basis. We will not earn a fee unless we are successful in making a recovery for our clients. Clients are responsible for costs. Contingency fee is calculated before deducting costs incurred in the case.

I think it's fair to recognize that GDPR is synonymous with big business – from lawyers to business consultants of all types, there is no shortage of self-proclaimed experts offering GDPR-related services. However, how many of these "experts" are really experts in EU law and legally admitted to practice law in the EU? And why is this so important in the context of advising companies on how to comply with GDPR?
In this article, I explain why getting the right lawyer on board – and ensuring that that lawyer is trained as a EU lawyer and admitted to practice in the EU – is key to maximizing your chances of being deemed compliant with GDPR, including the "national derogations", as well as with other EU privacy laws and regulations.
Ever since the EU has adopted the new Regulation in April 2016, and granted a 2-year transition period for complying, all sorts of service providers have invaded the space to offer their services to companies that collect personal data of EU residents. With GDPR coming into force on May 25, 2018, many companies fear the huge fines that the EU will impose for the breach of the new regulation, and these companies are looking for expert assistance with GDPR compliance.
Law is a profession that is eminently local and whose practitioners are ill-prepared to advise on foreign pieces of legislation unless such local practitioners are also trained in and admitted to practice law in the foreign jurisdiction. Like any piece of legislation in any part of the world, the GDPR is the intellectual product of a specific culture and of a unique legal and regulatory environment. Its drafters were themselves trained as EU lawyers, the EU supervisory authorities that will be tasked with enforcing it are composed of EU experts, and the courts that will be asked to interpret the regulation are staffed with judges who are also trained in EU legal concepts and admitted to practice law in the EU. The same way that U.S. legislation is very much influenced by the U.S. cultural environment and frame of reference, EU legislation is the quintessential product of a very European approach to regulation and, particularly in the context of GDPR, a very civil law-based approach to regulation. The definition of privacy the drafters of the GDPR used in the regulation is a European definition, and is very different from the U.S. definition of privacy. The European definition is founded on rights and freedoms that are not only deeply rooted in European history, and particularly WWII, but which are also recognized in another very European piece of legislation, the European Convention on Human Rights. This definition of privacy, and the legal and regulatory framework in which privacy rights of EU residents are enforced, are very difficult for U.S. lawyers to understand, appreciate, and anticipate in connection with any advice they give on GDPR unless they have themselves also been trained as EU civil law (as opposed to common law) lawyers.
Being able to advise on GDPR, or on any EU piece of legislation for that matter, is much more difficult and complex that simply being able to read the English version of the regulation – which anyone can do. Apart from the distinct cultural foundations upon which GDPR was drafted, GDPR is also the result of intense political negotiations between the 28 Member States of the EU. As much as the GDPR was designed to uniformise a broken and unpredictable EU privacy regulatory framework comprised of a patchwork of often contradictory 28 national legislations, in the end the GDPR did not reach that level of perfect unanimity and Member States will still need to adopt their own law around GDPR. As a matter of fact, more than 50 areas addressed by the new regulation aren't actually settled by GDPR, and the GDPR expressly invites the Member States to legislate these areas in their national law.
Like any lawyer currently advising on other pieces of EU privacy legislation such as the EU Privacy Directive 95/46/CE (which will be replaced by the GDPR) or the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC (which remains untouched by the GDPR), a lawyer advising on EU privacy law, and the GDPR implementation in particular, cannot limit himself or herself to simply reading the text of the GDPR and ignoring not only the current 1995 and 2002 legislation as well as overlooking all current and future GDPR-accompanying national legislations in the area. Contrary to the GDPR, the national legislation – for the most part – is in the local language and is built on local legal and regulatory framework that only a locally-trained lawyer versed in principles of the civil law and being able to read the text in the local language can fully understand and advise on. Whenever personal data of residents of the EU is collected and processed, applicable law will be the interplay of national law, sometimes even regional privacy law and consumer law, and EU law. Any lawyer who advises on the impact of processing personal data in the EU will therefore need to advise on the EU text as well as on the various applicable national data protection and consumer laws applicable to where the data subjects whose personal data is collected are based.
Clients who respond to an offer of assistance by or solicit the services of a U.S. lawyer on GDPR compliance should therefore check to ensure that that U.S. lawyer is also trained as a European lawyer and admitted to practice in the EU, that he or she has privacy experience in the EU or, if he or she has none of those credentials, that he or she works with a EU-admitted privacy counsel in connection with the advice that the U.S. lawyer is giving. The knowledge and experience of an EU trained and licensed lawyer is key to not only protect the client but also the U.S. lawyer from a possible malpractice claim.
As a European and U.S. lawyer advising U.S.-based companies in their compliance with EU laws, including the GDPR, I personally find current times very exciting from a privacy law standpoint. Privacy lawyers on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean have in GDPR and accompanying legislation – current and yet to be produced at both the EU and EU Member State levels – enough to keep them busy for years to come. The International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) has predicted that GDPR will lead to the creation of 28,000 Data Privacy Officer (DPO) positions at the EU level, while the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés, the French Data Protection Authority, anticipates thousands more just in France alone, and many of these new roles are being filled by lawyers. Despite Brexit, Elizabeth Denham, the UK Information Commissioner, has conveyed the country's determination in implementing the GDPR within its national law despite the UK leaving the EU in March 2019.
I am confident that with proper collaboration between U.S. lawyers and EU trained legal counsel, U.S. companies will be successful in meeting and complying with the requirements of the GDPR. We're all in the same boat, so let's get to work! If we can assist let us know!
