Palin slams 'bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie'
Palin has given a steady stream of interviews since Election Day.
(CNN) - Sarah Palin fired a new salvo in her war on the media, unloading in a new interview on her home state paper and "bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie."
The Alaska governor, who has granted a steady stream of interviews since Election Day, also told an Esquire reporter that she wishes she had told McCain campaign advisors she'd be "callin' some of the shots."
"Bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie annoy me....I'll tell you, yesterday the Anchorage Daily News, they called again to ask — double-, triple-, quadruple-check — who is Trig's real mom," she said, in an interview to be published in the magazine's March issue.
"And I said, Come on, are you kidding me? We're gonna answer this? Do you not believe me or my doctor? And they said, No, it's been quite cryptic the way that my son's birth has been discussed. And I thought, Okay, more indication of continued problems in the world of journalism."
But Palin said she had adopted a philosophical attitude on the downside of the spotlight. "You have to let it go," she said. "Even hard news sources, credible news sources — the comment about, you can see Russia from Alaska. You can! You can see Russia from Alaska. Something like that — a factual statement that was taken out of context and mocked — what you have to do is let that go."
The former Republican vice presidential candidate said again she regretted not taking a greater leadership role during the campaign season. "If I were giving advice to myself back on the day my candidacy was announced, I'd say, Tell the campaign that you'll be callin' some of the shots," she said. "Don't just assume that they know you well enough to make all your decisions for ya. Let them know that you're the CEO of a state, you're forty-four years old, you've got a lot of great life experience that can be put to good use as a candidate."
Despite a season of barbs aimed at the coastal elites, Palin seemed to offer an olive branch to the Big Apple: "I would think we all tear up during the national anthem at the beginning of a baseball game, don't we? That's an alikeness between Alaskans and New Yorkers," she said.
Update: In an Anchorage Daily News column published last week, the paper's editor said the only questions reporters there had asked about Trig's birth came when the paper undertook a project to debunk conspiracy theories surrounding the event, but that they had abandoned the effort because of a lack of cooperation from the Palin family.
"I don't believe we have ever published in the newspaper a story, a letter, a column or anything alleging a coverup surrounding your maternity," wrote the editor in an e-mail sent to Palin and reprinted on the paper's blog. "In fact, my integrity and the integrity of the newspaper have been repeatedly attacked in national forums for our complicity in the 'coverup.'
Later, he added: "...So I don't understand the behavior of the governor's press office. Did the governor not share my email with the press staff? Did the press staff deliberately ignore what I said in order to have a longer list of press 'outrages'? Or are they just sloppy with details? I don't know."

Sarah, darling, when are you going to learn that you are just playing into the hands of the media with each new invective you spew? Simply say "thanks, but no thanks" (like you did with that Bridge to Nowhere, wink, wink) and hang up the phone. Also, you'll want the media to be your friend in 2012; therefore, I would advise against trashing them at every opportunity.

Sarah could answer the question about who the mother of Trig is by releasing her medical records, or just the ones around the time of Trig's birth. Something Sarah has yet to do.
Steve... MEDIA RELATIONS? are you kidding? Sarah got SLAMMED for everything she said or didn't say. She and her family were demeaned , email hacked and made fun of. I have never witnessed anything like this attack in my 50 + years. Disgraceful.

I just wish CNN and the other media outlets would read these comments and realize that NO ONE is interested in whatever Sarah Palin has to say...
Do we collectively have to turn off the TVs and stop reading your on line publications before you get the message?
Silliness no longer has much tolerance in America... George Bush has surely cured us of that ....
Oh...you mean like she lied about firing the Public Safety Commissioner for not firing her brother-in-law? Well, if anyone could recognize lying it would be her...she must be right 🙂
What an absolute loof! If it wasn't for McCain choosing her as his running mate, I would have voted for him.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda gets you no where now. Can you imagine her as our President and Commander in Cheif? If you don't have a set of nuts in teh beginning, you're not gonna get them at all.
This woman needs to take a page from the Obama play book. If you screw up, you move past the mess as soon as possible. Admit the mistake, ignore it and make it a non-issue; do anything and then stop talking about it. Don't keep replaying it over and over again. That's politics 101, even I know that. She keeps trying to argue this issue about 'I can see russia from my house'..... blah blah blah the more clueless she looks. Every politician gets snipets of their words grabbed on by the media, fair or not. The difference is, if you are smart, you move past it real fast. The more I hear her post-election interviews, the more I think she will have no chance becoming the next GOP candidate. Hell, at this rate she may not even make it through her next governor race.
Isn't it funny how liberal whiners complain about somebody else's whining! All I ever heard from the press was that Obama's family was off limits for any comments or criticism. Apparently that was not the same for Palin. I don't blame her for being annoyed. Also....a word to some of the women here: Nobody is saying that you had some obligation to support this woman just because she's a woman...BUT...why does it seem that some of you go out of your way to prove it by trashing this woman? Man, some of you women are nasty. You won't be happy till you rip out her uterus. Let's all be honest here. If Sarah Palin looked more like Helen Thomas, you would think she was a freakin' genius!
Bo Diddlt
Please go do your job. If you really intend on pursuing politics on a national scale again, what you do right now is giong to tremendously effect those odds. As far as I can see your obsession with the public and medias commentary will render that impossible. Please use your head, and lead well – but stay out of the press with articles like these, or your career will end itself.

Why is she giving legitimacy to these rumors? Let her ask John Ewards about this! Imagine her being U.S. President or VP and the world writes about rumors. Will she start waging war about these? Serious lack of judgment and maturity. Please go away..
This is soooo September 2008. Welcome to the New Year, Sarah and CNN!

Ms. Palin. Keep quiet. I do not agree with the myths (Trigs real mother) but I am fascinated that you continue to show your lack of knowledge and depth. I beg you. Concentrate on the work of serving as Governor of Alaska and take care of your family. Your endless desire to play victim and stay in the news is not helping you…at all.
I do wish you the best.
Sherrol in Canada
........and this is the woman that wanted to be VP of the USA, and some people really, really wanted her to be also. Americans consider yourselves lucky she is back in Alaska and not representing your country in the world.
Palin is dangerous and yet still a joke, but you CNN need to stop giving her so much coverage. Granted, she's fair game and juicy fodder, but she's irritating, and even her quoted words in print grates on the nerves like chalk on a blackboard.
Shame on you John McCain for inflicting this woman on the human race.
Please, please go away! Why don't you focus on the problems of your state, and not your own state of affairs. You are the people of Alaska's servant. Serve and SHUT UP!!!!
Palin shows her true colors when she delivers one of her devisive, polarizing and accusatory speeches full of falsehoods and half-truths. She seems so full of herself when she incites the dittoheads who hang on her every word. Our country has suffered through enough of "your with us or against us" leadership. Her brand of politicing continues to take us down that road and will not lead to healing and trust in leadership. Credibility has taken a back seat to deception. We deserve better.
yawn.............
Yeah, too bad bloggers can't be honest like she is! I really don't think there's any doubt who is truly pathetic ... she can be seen above. Eat me Sarah!
Mike S. New Orleans
At least those poor teenagers won't have to get married now that Sarah lost the election.
PARTY ON!!
When people make fun of "you can see Russia from Alaska" they are taking it very much IN context, the context that you claimed SP. That's what makes it funny. YOU claimed it gave you experience in the international scene. If you had just said it as a fact, it wouldn't be funny.
If you don't get why it is funny, then I'm laughing again. If you had been elected... I'd be crying of course.
Remember when Al Gore lost. And he went away for a while? I'm thinking Gov. Palin should follow that model. She just seems to be dying to have someone hear about her sour grapes. On top of that, it seems she's building an "anti-media" platform for future campaigns.
Whimpy wacky Palin, we wish you'd quit your wailin'
Now we're all a copin', and you are still a mopin'
Too bad we still can hear ya, hollerin' from Wasilla
The crap you try to sell, we wish you'd go to HELL!
Since I can see the moon, I must be qualified to be an Astronaut.
SHE STILL SEES HERSELF IN THAT TIARA...IF YOU BELIEVE IT, SHE'S THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD PERSON SINCE HAMLET...

As opposed to boring, know-nothing, pathetic governors who lie.

Abstract. Most of rieonatal death occur in developing countries. Neottatal death rate in Indonesia in 1997 was 25 per 1.000 life births. This statistical figure drew the attention of Indonesian goverrtment. The purpose of this descriptive study was to know the diseases pattern of neonatal death, and access of the neonates mother to health care during their pregnancy and delivery. In HHS 2001, there were 466 infant deaths, of which 180 cases were rzeonatal. Neorlatal death in rural area (58.6%) was higher than in urban area (41.4%). Most of neonatal death which was early neonatal death was 79.494, the rest (20.5%) was late tteorlatal death. Most of neonatal death occurred when the delivery was attended by doctor or midwives. (57.2%). More than halfneotlutal deaths occurred at home (54.2%). Anzortg the neonates that died, 26.7% were given treatment prior to death, i,e. 8.3% taken to hospitals, 6.7% to doctor/nzidwife private practice, and 5.5% to puskesmas. The leading causes of early neorratul death are premature with low birth weight (35%), and birth asphyxia (33.6%), while the cause of late neonatal death are predominantly infection, such as tetanus (31.4%)). pneumonia (8.6%). ,followed by feeding problem (14.3%).

If you think I am the best person to do it it is not for me to say No - The only trouble is about getting back the same night - as Sunday trains to Dorking are not very good.
Would it be possible for me to record it on some other day? I shall count on you to tell me what to say.
P.S. I have had a letter on the same subject from Frank Howes - Can this be an answer to him as well?
1. Secretary of the Musicians Benevolent Fund. He later (1956) became Secretary to the R.V.W. Trust.
2. The letter was written in response to a request by the Musicians' Benevolent Fund to make an appeal on their behalf on the BBC's regular Sunday charitable appeal slot. Frank Thistleton recalled in a note to UVW: "I remember this incident very well. The BBC found it impossible to relay the Appeal from Dorking and said that they never recorded appeals. So dear V.W. had to come to London on one of the foggiest nights of the year, and how he got back I shall never know beyond the fact that he provided himself with a car as an alternative to a bad train."

Q: Is Relativity a specific instance of Riemannian geometry? If I am a mathematician and do not anything about Special/General Relativity, then should I study Riemannian geometry to learn Relativity? Is Relativity just an instance/example of some particular Riemannian manifold? Is Relativity completely contained with Riemannian geometry or are there distinct aspects to it? Thanks

A: General relativity takes place on a Lorentzian manifold, not a Riemannian manifold: the geometry is supposed to be "locally Minkowski" rather than "locally Euclidean". As such, the (pseudo)metric tensor is an indefinite bilinear form with signature $+---$, rather than a positive definite bilinear form.
I would say that general relativity is "a specific instance" of Lorentzian geometry in the same sense that classical mechanics is "a specific instance" of Euclidean geometry: that is, I wouldn't say such a thing at all. Although maybe you mean something different by the phrase than what I imagine.

A: Is Relativity completely contained with Riemannian geometry or are there distinct aspects to it?
Definitely not: the notion of "shortest path" (geodesic) behaves radically different in these theories.
So there are some VERY distinct aspects (because of vectors of negative length etc.) in relativity. But if you are new to the subject, then it is possibly useful to learn Riemannian Geometry first, because

*

*A lot of technical stuff is the same

*It is easier, more geometric, very "visual"

*In General Relativity one often "slices" spacetime and talks about 3-dim Riemannian Manifolds  - so you have to know that stuff anyway

I am super excited today ... because this weekend I'm taking in a showing of Avenue Q on Broadway. But in the meantime, I simply must tell you about my lusts!
Hot Pink Tassi ($14.99 at tassi.com): This is quite possibly my new favorite invention. The stretchy pink headwrap secures my hair perfectly when I'm washing my face, sleeping, showering ... you name it, my locks are well-protected and kept out of harm's way! Plus, when I shake my hair out, it looks exactly as it did before I pulled it up and secured it with the Tassi. And what's better than that?
M.A.C Eye Shadow Suites: Yes, I admit it ... I am a sucker for perfect packaging. And this product's got all that and more. Each of the eight duos in this assortment from the Suite Array Collection are absolutely perfect not only because of the adorably compact packaging, but because the colors are all unbelievably gorgeous. I'm torn between two faves -- Smoke & Ash, a combo of silver and grey, and Blue Zone, with pretty purple and blue. The sparkle is fantastically blinding in both, and the color payoff is just right.
Sally Hershberger Star Shine ($12.99 at drugstore.com): Looking for shining, shimmering locks? Then this is definitely the product for you. My tresses are anything but glossy when left to their own devices ... but a few spritzes of this magical potion and they're glistening, glimmering and altogether gleaming!
the Brow Box packaging really works well for the Eye Shadow Suites.


Respublika Stadionu, in full Tofiq Bahramov adina Respublika Stadionu and often referred to as Tofiq Bahramov Stadium, is the second largest football stadium of Azerbaijan.
It was built to serve as Azerbaijan's national stadium. Construction began in 1939, but World War 2 delayed works and it took until 1951 for the stadium to open.
The stadium was initially named after Josef Stalin, but got renamed Lenin Stadium in 1956 and again renamed in 1993 after Tofiq Bahramov following the death of the referee that was one of the linesmen of the contentious 1966 World Cup final.
In 2012, the stadium underwent an extensive refurbishment which included a new roof being built on top of the stands.
Respublika Stadionu has never belonged to a specific club, but was generally used by Qarabag for many of their home games. In 2016, Qarabag opened the much smaller Azersun Arena as their new proper home, but they have continued to use Respublika Stadionu for their high-profile matches including most European matches.
Respublika Stadionu has traditionally been the stadium where the Azerbaijan national team has played most of their home matches, and continues to do so regularly despite the opening of the new Baku Olympic Stadium.
Tofiq Bahramov Respublika Stadionu is located in central Baku just north of the centre at roughly 2.5 kilometres from the main railway station and 4.5 kilometres from the old walled city.
The stadium can be reached by metro. Metro station Ganclik lies right next to the stadium. It is on both lines 1 and 2 that cross Baku's city centre.
Tofiq Bahramov Respublika Stadionu is located in a dense and busy urban neighbourhood in central Baku. There are plenty of places to eat and drink in the area around the stadium including multiple food outlets in the Ganjlik Mall that lies next door.
Similarly, there are multiple hotels at walking distance from the stadium and many more apartment rentals. Smith Hotel, Divan Express Baku, and Anatolia Hotel are some very well-rated options at easy walking distance from the stadium.
Click here for an overview of hotel near Tofiq Bahramov Respublika Stadionu and here to explore options elsewhere in Baku.
Tickets for Qarabag matches can be bought at Tofiq Bahramov Respublika Stadionu from a few days before the match.
Ticket prices depend on the opponent but expect to pay between AZN 1.00 and AZN 5.00 for a ticket.

Corbett: Gay marriage remarks not meant to offend
Gov. Tom Corbett speaks at Dow Chemical's new research-and-development facility in Collegeville, Pa. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania's governor says he's sorry if anyone was offended when he compared gay marriage to the marriage of a brother and sister during a TV interview.
Republican Gov. Tom Corbett issued a statement Friday saying his "words were not intended to offend anyone" and apologizing if they did.
Corbett says his comment during the WHP-TV morning news interview was meant to provide an example of the categories of people who aren't legally entitled to obtain marriage licenses in Pennsylvania.
In the interview, Corbett says his lawyers made an inappropriate analogy in a recent court filing, comparing same-sex marriage to the marriage of children. He says the marriage of a brother and sister is a better analogy.
Pennsylvania is the only state in the Northeast that allows neither gay marriage nor civil unions.

Moscow, Sep. 11 (Notimex).- Russian President Vladimir Putin could meet with the president-elect of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, in the framework of the summit of the Group of 20 (G-20) in Argentina next November, or during a visit to Mexico, the Kremlim revealed today.
"There are options to consider: a flight to Mexico or a meeting in Argentina," said Kremlin collaborator Yuri Ushakov, when asked by the press about a possible meeting between Putin and the future Mexican president, the Russian agencies Itar -tass and Sputnik, reported on Tuesday.
The adviser to the Russian president did not rule out that the meeting will be held within the framework of the G-20 summit, scheduled to take place in Argentina from November 30 to December 1, or even that Putin will travel to Mexico.
"Argentina is not far away, so there are several options that we can consider: a flight to Mexico or a meeting in Argentina, both options will be taken into account," Ushakov added, clarifying that he still did not know which one would be chosen.
The future Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marcelo Ebrard, reported the day before that López Obrador invited the Russian president to his protest on December 1, at the end of a meeting with the Russian ambassador in Mexico, Viktor Coronelli.
"López Obrador invited (Putin) to accompany him on December 1 at the swearing-in ceremony and inauguration," Ebrard told reporters after his meeting with the ambassador.
The next Mexican foreign minister said that López Obrador was ready for Putin's visit at the most convenient time for the Russian president.


News item: "Apple finally adds the Beatles music to iTunes." A post about fantastic content that "just happens" to your writer.
Every now and then, you look in awe at something your marketing communications writer has delivered.
"This is fantastic," you say.
Your writer doesn't disagree. She also doesn't tell you that it took almost no effort. After all, she can't make it look too easy, or else you'll think that anybody can do it.
A writer told me about being in this situation when she delivered one of these pieces last week. Mr. Casey had asked her to write up an interview with two teachers for the annual report that her son's high school publishes. She and the teachers spoke for about a half-hour, then she went home with her notes and recording. A few days later, she put their exact words into print, edited them for brevity and readability, had another look at it the following day, and sent it off.
Mr. Casey loved it, saying that it fit well with the theme of the report and that he was extremely grateful for the talent she brought to it.
There was a break and I went into this shop and bought an old poster advertising a variety show which starred Mr Kite.
It said the Hendersons would also be there, late of Pablo Fanques Fair…The band would start at ten to six. All at Bishopsgate. I hardly made up a word, just connecting the lists together. Word for word, really.
I wasn't very proud of that. There was no real work. I was just going through the motions because we needed a new song for Sgt. Pepper at that moment.
Should it cost the same?
So, if you think the piece is brilliant, but the writer considers it a throwaway, should you pay less for it?
Of course not. Whether your writer sweated bullets or just peeled it off, it solved your business problem equally, and that's what's important.
If you don't think so, then tell Apple that "Mr Kite" should cost $.69 in iTunes instead of $1.29 because John didn't put much effort into it. And let me know how that works out for you.

After doing a lot of research into Growth Mindset (Youtube Carol Dweck as a starting point) I decided to introduce the idea to the children by using the 'Austin's butterfly' story. The Youtube video is available here but I created my own pictures and told them about a boy that was in my class at another school to make it seem more real.
Although this lesson and discussion only took around 45 minutes at the start of term, I can honestly say it has been one of the most valuable and memorable lessons of the year for the children. I regularly hear them giving each other unprompted feedback and saying "keep on going – remember Austin?" which has helped created a really nurturing environment in the classroom, full of minds that are willing to keep trying at anything. Powerful stuff!
Why not try developing a Growth Mindset classroom?

Many options Intentionally make a closed system, which is tedious to maneuver away from as soon as you begin. However, with a platform named Ecwid, you no longer have to be concerned about this. Actually, the whole aim of the business, which began in 2009, is to quickly and inexpensively make an online store system on your present websites.
You do not have To make a completely different website. Just apply Ecwid on any platform, CMS or social networking (in five minutes) and you are all set.
This raised my Attention, since I know the struggles that come along with attempting to migrate sites, especially in regards to ecommerce. So, I wanted to gather a comprehensive review of this Ecwid system to see if it's worth the time.
It's quite Impressive what Ecwid has done since 2009, with over 1 million retailers getting signed up. What is even more cool is that the Ecwid merchants span over 175 distinct countries, showing that this isn't only a platform for most people in the US or Europe. Even companies in developing countries have a opportunity to find an internet store heading, and you do not even have to squander your prior website if you have one.
The usership Continues to grow, particularly considering Ecwid is now PCI DSS Level 1 certified. If you are not certain what this is, it is pretty much the gold standard for security in the ecommerce world. You can rest easy knowing you and your clients' information is safe and secure.
In addition to The overall merchant count, over 20,000 active users are utilizing the Ecwid Shopping Cart for WordPress. The gap between that 20,000 and also the 1 million is the fact that you don't require a WordPress site to implement Ecwid. So, the 20,000 only identifies WordPress users using the plugin.
Ecwid is a hosted Alternative for building an online shop. Unlike competing products like Shopify, Bigcommerce and Volusion, which permit you to build a fresh website with e-commerce performance, Ecwid is geared more towards people who currently have a website and simply wish to add an internet store to it.
Much like other E-commerce platforms, Ecwid lets you set up'catalogs' of goods, and include photographs, pricing, weight etc. . each. You are able to define shipping rates, accept credit card payments and so on — all of the crucial stuff that you would expect to be able to perform with an e-commerce solution.
However it differs Significantly from competing products such as Shopify, Volusion, Squarespace and Bigcommerce in that it is not actually designed to let you create a fully-featured, standalone e-commerce website; instead, it is intended to enable you add an online store to an present online existence.
The Product operates by providing you a widget which gets placed on other sites — hence the name Ecwid: it is short for'E-commerce Widget'. You receive a few lines of HTML code (the widget) to add into an existing website or social networking profile, and your store is displayed wherever you have inserted this code.
Ecwid makes Strides in the market by catering to businesses that don't need to start a brand new website. The main attribute is that you can take your old website and quickly incorporate the Ecwid system inside a couple of minutes.
You can also Mirror the system on various other websites if you plan on selling elsewhere on the web. Manage all these sites from 1 place instead of switching between multiple dashboards.
Another pleasant Feature is the syncing between multiple devices. Sell on-the-go with your smartphone. This means you could go to a tradeshow to make a few sales and each one of these sales are represented onto the backend of your website.
The system is Also designed to integrate nicely with social networks, so you may sell your things on Facebook if desired. 1 part of Ecwid we particularly enjoy is the shipping facet. With real time shipping integrations you constantly know what's going on with your orders and at which they're being shipped to.
Thanks Into Ecwid's point-of-sale (POS) functionality, you may use your Ecwid store to sell not just online but in physical locations too — in shops, market stalls, at concerts and so on.
Together with Ecwid's POS Performance, irrespective of whether a customer buys a product in store, online, in their telephone or through Facebook, everything remains in sync – i.e., the retailer's catalogue, inventory and customer / transaction information.
There is a couple of ways that you can use this feature: the simplest is probably to use'Paypal Here.' This involves downloading the Ecwid iOS program from the Apple's App store, connecting it to the Paypal Here support, and then taking payments utilizing a mobile card reader (pictured above).
You have two options when it comes to POS Hardware and Paypal This: you can either buy a processor and swipe reader (for $24.99) or a chip and also tap reader (for $79.99). Both can be ordered straight from Ecwid.
If you're based outside The US / UK, or want to work with another mobile device type, the fantastic news is that Ecwid also functions with all the Vend, Clover, NCR Silver and Square POS systems. These all facilitate utilizing a larger selection of hardware in a physical retail location (full-sized card readers, receipt printers, cash drawers tablet stands etc.) and are usable in more nations.
Ecwid Storefronts are responsive, meaning they will display correctly across devices — desktop, tablet and cellular. In an era where smartphone internet surfing is eclipsing desktop browsing, this is vital.
Granted, it is a fairly Standard plan, where features such as discount vouchers and support are not available, and it only allows you to sell up to 10 products in two classes — but this could actually be adequate for some users, and using it's a good way to try the system out.
However, A vital point to notice about the free plan is the fact that it is not great from an search engine optimization standpoint — you need to be on a paid program to make certain that your product pages talk to search engines accurately (more on SEO below).
Ecwid is ahead of the Pack in that its storefronts can be mechanically translated into nearly 50 distinct languages — clients can view your store in their own language, without you needing to worry about creating alternate versions of it. Ecwid provides this functionality by detecting visitors' language mechanically according to their browser settings / IP address.
Competing products such as Shopify And Bigcommerce are nevertheless to supply this type of performance — that they force you to rely on third party programs, the creation of numerous shops or Google Translate to provide different language versions of your store, which can be less than ideal. So a definite triumph for Ecwid here.
Search engine Optimization (SEO) in Ecwid is a pretty straightforward affair. You are able to edit the name of your webpage and its own meta description; the relevant fields are pre-populated for you automatically, but you can tweak them to match your search engine optimization objectives.
So Far as I can tell But you can not manually change the URL of a product — you have to make do with the one that Ecwid creates for you. This isn't ideal because keywords in URLs are used by some search engines to categorise content through indexing.
One place where Ecwid does not perform quite so Well on the search engine optimization front involves AMP — accelerated cellular pages. As its name suggests, AMP pages load quicker on cellular devices. This encourages people to stay longer on your page, thus increasing'dwell time' –something that's believed by many SEO experts consider to be rewarded with Google with preferential treatment in search results. Additionally, Google occasionally highlights AMP webpages in carousels in search results, providing AMP content an extra little boost.
The Export option permits you to export product information, orders and clients (again, in CSV format) and means that if you ever feel the need to migrate your shop to a different e-commerce platform, then you shouldn't have any major problems doing so.
WordPress does not Supplied any e-commerce performance from this box, so anybody wishing to sell on the stage will need a third-party solution like Ecwid. There is an Ecwid plugin available, therefore adding an Ecwid store to your WordPress site is very straightforward — you can get up and running with a couple clicks.
Squarespace comes with Increasingly good e-commerce attributes, but the number of payment gateway options is quite limited — you need to utilize Stripe or Paypal. (And using Stripe only works if you are selling products from particular countries). Another main problem with the built-in Squarespace marketing tools is that they don't facilitate dropshipping, and complete export of products is not currently possible.
Integrating Ecwid with Squarespace allows you to bypass these constraints, and adding it into some Squarespace website is quite simple: it's a simple matter of including a code block into a webpage and pasting some HTML into it.
As With Squarespace, there's currently no dropshipping choice for Wix users, so again Ecwid can provide a fantastic workaround. A committed app is provided by Ecwid to enable you incorporate the product onto a Wix shop easily.
Ecwid provides a pretty Restricted number integrations with other well-known apps. Integrations do exist with key services Mailchimp, Xero and Freshbooks; but to be honest the range of integrations may be more extensive — competing goods such as Shopify provide a much wider range of programs. Notable omissions in the Ecwid store include Quickbooks and Zendesk, for example (that said, a Quickbooks integration is coming shortly ).
Ecwid's Interface is pretty user friendly. Like many similar online shop builders, you get a vertical menu on the left that lets you access key performance, and the place on the right is used to edit or display related products, site reports and content.
As with any e-commerce tool, you'll need to Spend a fair amount of time getting your head about creating catalogues and product variations, establishing shipping rates and so on…but there isn't anything that should represent also a lot of a learning curve.
If You're stuck however, you can always get in contact with Ecwid's support team — more on this later — or, even if you are on a'Business' or'Unlimited', you can take advantage of the included customization support (you get 2 hours and 12 hours customization period from Ecwidon these plans).
I am not a Attorney, so please note that the below observations shouldn't be interpreted as legal information, but I'm planning to do my best to spell out some of the major GDPR problems facing Ecwid consumers under.
With the introduction of That the EU's new GDPR laws, there are several legal measures that website owners now should take to ensure that they are adequately protecting EU clients' and visitors' privacy. There are serious financial penalties for not doing so (to the point where it is usually a good idea to speak with a lawyer on what to do); and even when your business is not based in the EU, you still will need to comply with the regulations where any site visits in the EU are concerned.
There does not Appear to be Anything that stops you fulfilling the first few requirements readily enough with Ecwid, although you will have to devote time and possibly money creating adequate notices and crafting data capture forms so that they are GDPR compliant.
So for example, if you Utilize a Facebook Advertising cookie in conjunction with your Ecwid shop, you'll be breaking up GDPR laws unless you have a banner set up which does all of the above.
Nowout of the box at Least there is not a means to deal with the cookie consent issue with Ecwid. Nor is there a decent app accessible from the Ecwid app shop (the only option on this front I can find, the'EU cookie banner', doesn't appear to provide the essential functionality — despite costing $1.99 a month to utilize ).
It Seems to me that the only option available to Ecwid consumers is to use a professional product such as CookiePro, which will provide all the essential functionality to make cookie approval fully GDPR compliant. Despite being a strong product nonetheless, Cookiepro does require quite a lot of configuration and you'll need to put quite a lot of time aside to set it up.
I really enjoy The fact which you're able to run a website without paying for anything. This makes the setup process that much easier, since you just need to punch in your email and make a password to proceed right to the backend port.
The machine has Wizards for every platform that you would like to place your shop on. If you've got a WordPress site, just walk through three steps to get up and running. You could also click on choices like Facebook and Joomla, based on the place you want to market.
The backend Design is flawless, because it walks you through every site creation and integration measure with some nice photos and text. As soon as you get your shop implemented on a site or societal page it appears fairly sleek.
The design Depends somewhat on the theme you have on your website, however as you can see below, it displays photos well and appears clean and easy to navigate. I particularly enjoy the Shopping Bag area, which is prominent and easy to locate for customers when they want to checkout.
The closing Design item that makes sense to mention is the vocabulary tool. Since running an online store generally requires you to reach out to individuals from all over the world, you're bound to stumble upon some customers who'd like to read product webpages and other content in their native language. Ecwid supports 45 languages, so when a user wants to translate from English to Spanish, that is no problem at all.
A Few of the programs Will help you out with rating and reviews, rewards programs, automatic ad tools, analytics, custom layout topics and much more.
Ecwid is a Third party solution to your current site, so you'd typically have to implement additional SEO and advertising tools to really get out the word. Nevertheless, Ecwid supplies quality SEO qualities to help retailers increase their visibility in Google searches.
Each step is Clear and concise, so that you can just go in there and sort in a product name, price and image then save the product for afterwards. Of course you could always open up the More Powerful Options, however they different these for when you are ready to start ramping up your store.
Ecwid offers A Chat With Sales attribute which is one of my favourite ways to talk to companies. Only send them a query and you can work on something else until they respond.
It is not always Simple to locate an ecommerce platform which does not charge fees, but that is just what you get with Ecwid. They never charge any sort of trade fee with any of the programs they provide, making it desirable for any store that's trying to keep down costs and to improve margins.
Remember that Ecwid isn't a payment processor, so you have to set up something like PayPal or Stripe to process all of the trades that come through your site. It is rather simple to implement one of these systems, since Ecwid incorporates with over 40 global payment choices. However, each one of these processors have their particular trade fees so that you need to get ready for them.
· The'starter site' option is a fantastic stopgap measure for merchants who want a shop fast, but have yet to create a full website in order to bring the Ecwid widget to.
Ecwid comes With four plans, among which is completely free. They market the free program like mad, and mention that a number of different platforms drag you into a free trial, where you will eventually need to pay.
The Free plan Lets you sell 10 products, while the Venture program ups that count to 100 goods and you get things like an iPhone management app. The company program goes up to 2500 products for a wonderful price and you get live chat support. Priority support comes alongside the Unlimited plan and you can also sell an unlimited amount of products.
Ecwid is one of The cheapest solutions on the market. You may see that it's actually more affordable than many of the other platforms we have reviewed previously, so if you're searching for value, this could be the right plugin for you.

Large-capacity Doosan vertical turning lathes occupy centre stage at new Hanwha Aerospace's aero-engine parts production facility in Vietnam.
South Korean-based Hanwha Aerospace, part of the Hanwha Group – a FORTUNE Global 500 company – has announced that its plans to significantly ramp up production and supply of civil aircraft aero-engine parts (fans and compressors) to the global aerospace market through the creation of a new manufacturing facility in Vietnam, are nearing completion.
The new factory, located near Hanoi, is substantial and, at 60,000㎡, is approximately eight times the size of a football pitch. Building works, which began in 2017 are expected to be completed by the end of 2018.
Once fully operational it is anticipated that Hanwha Aerospace will be able to increase sales turnover to 1 Trillion Won (USD 879 Million) and lead the aero engine production industry by 2025.
To help the company achieve its ambitions it has invested heavily in a number of large-capacity Doosan vertical ram-type lathes (VTRs). By the end of January 2019 it is expected that 30 Doosan VTRs will have been installed at the new Vietnam factory – rising to 120 machines by 2024.
The Doosan machines supplied to Hanwha Techwin comprise VTR 1012F and VTR 1216F models.
Doosan's F-designated VTR machines have a fixed cross beam design, as opposed to a travelling cross beam design – and, as such, are particularly suited to the machining of smaller, shorter components such as aero-engine rings.
In addition both VTR models also have a wide column and box guideway design, and are equipped with powerful ram-type spindles (up to 45kW/400rpm) and large diameter cross taper roller bearings for heavy-duty machining operations.
The machines also feature servo-driven tool changers for fast and accurate tool change, high-efficiency swarf evacuation and management systems for increased productivity and trouble-free machining, and a maximum turning diameter up to 1600mm (VTR 1216F).
"Across the world Doosan machine tools are used extensively and are specified by global aerospace OEMs and by leading manufacturers in the aerospace supply chain.

The recent doubling down on House investigations into Donald Trump and his campaign's alleged collusion with Russia, his businesses, his taxes, and his presidency yielded subpoenas for thousands of documents. While some of Trump's former associates have dug in their heels on giving those documents up, others are working directly with Democrats on the investigation.
One of those former Trump associates is his former communications director and confidante, Hope Hicks. Hicks took over the post from Anthony Scaramucci, who took over for Sean Spicer, who took over for Michael Bubke, who took over for Sean Spicer when he was acting communications director after Jason Miller. It's been quite the controversial position.
Most famously, Hicks helped draft the statement written on Air Force One by Trump for his son, Donald, Jr., that the infamous 2016 Trump Tower meeting was in regards to Russian adoptions. Within hours after releasing that statement, it was proven to be a lie when emails with the subject line directly referencing the exchange of dirt on Hillary Clinton were publicly released.
Hicks is far from the only associate involved in the probe, but she is one of the few following the law and cooperating.
Other associates have refused to do so. For instance, former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly has been notoriously closed-mouthed after requests for documents related to the security clearances for Trump's son-in-law and daughter, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Kelly left a memo during his time as chief of staff that raised concerns about Trump pushing those clearances through despite issues with them.
Hicks was involved with Trump's campaign since its very beginning and testified as to some of the activities she witnessed there. She refused to answer questions in front of Congress once before about Trump's activities in the White House, citing executive privilege after the Trump administration advised her to do so.
