TinyFrog Technologies Announces New WooCommerce Maintenance Service

December 19, 2019 – – TinyFrog Technologies, a San-Diego web design & development agency, announced today that it has launched its new service, WooCommerce maintenance. The monthly service is specifically tailored to WordPress websites that are running on the e-commerce platform WooCommerce.

WooCommerce is one of the most popular e-commerce platforms in the world. The open source platform integrates seamlessly into any WordPress website and offers the same level of customization and flexibility as the popular content management system WordPress.

However, WooCommerce sites are prone to security and development issues if the site is not properly maintained. TinyFrog Technologies has been offering WordPress maintenance and secure hosting services since 2012. After supporting WooCommerce sites for many years, TinyFrog finally decided to launch a specialized program for these sites.

“WooCommerce sites have very specific needs when it comes to hosting, security & maintenance,” said Chris Andujar, hosting manager at TinyFrog Technologies. “By taking care of those needs, our team can help WooCommerce site owners get better results from their online stores.”

As part of its WooCommerce maintenance service, TinyFrog’s development team manually updates the plugins, themes and core once a month for the website. For WooCommerce sites, plugin compatibility issues are very common and a skilled PHP developer can manage these quickly during the monthly updates. When you compare WooCommerce versus Shopify, another e-commerce platform, WooCommerce sites may require extra care, but there are additional benefits in terms of flexibility and customization.

The monthly service also includes 24/7 security monitoring, daily backups, performance monitoring and secure hosting. Clients receive support from TinyFrog’s expert WordPress development team. As an insurance policy for the site, the TinyFrog team will take responsibility and restore a website if it goes down for any reason, including due to the client’s own error.

“We’ve been working with WooCommerce for 10 years and our entire team has deep knowledge of the WordPress ecosystem, so we’re very comfortable in managing complex WooCommerce sites,” said Mikel Bruce, TinyFrog CEO.

In addition to WordPress and WooCommerce maintenance, TinyFrog specializes in B2B website design and development. Its team focuses on a conversion-based approach to web design and has built well over 1,000 websites since 2003.

Los Angeles Lawyer Offers Advice To Help Drivers Avoid A Holiday DUI

December 19, 2019 – – California based Los Angeles DUI Lawyer is reaching out to local drivers to advise how they may avoid committing DUI offences over the course of the holidays. Many people love to celebrate the arrival of the New Year with a night out. With the advent of the next decade, the holiday parties have already started, and local law enforcement has increased patrols to keep everyone safe. As a result, the number of arrests for driving under the influence, being under the influence of drugs and/or excessive public intoxication, has risen since the beginning of November.

A representative for the firm says, “We want everyone to enjoy their holiday celebrations. Unfortunately, many people don’t realize that California has some of the strictest DUI laws and the annual crackdown seems to start earlier each year. Even one large drink, or a strong drink on an empty stomach might be enough to put someone over the limit without them realizing it. We are always at hand to advise anyone who has been stopped. The best advice we can share is that you book a ride home if there is any chance that you may have an unexpected drink.”

For those who are stopped and asked to undertake a physical sobriety test, the firm states that drivers should the police do not have to read them their rights, including the one saying they have the right to contact a lawyer. They also do not need to wait until the lawyer is contacted before conducting the physical tests. However, the fact remains that those arrested for a DUI do actually have the right to speak to their lawyer. Learn more here: Drink Driving Lawyer Los Angeles.

Many who are charged for the first time with a DUI are embarrassed to reach out for help. They may not even tell friends and family, and they will most certainly avoid telling colleagues at work. In these circumstances, the best step they can take, according to the firm, is to call a DUI attorney who can provide the legal advice they need. Many who feel they should not have been stopped refuse to provide a specimen, unaware that refusing alone is a criminal offense under the Criminal Code. Failing to provide a specimen is considered a serious crime and is dealt with in the strictest manner. It also carries some major penalties which are considered separately in addition to the penalties they would be subject to under a standard DUI. This includes a driving prohibition throughout the country, a fine, plus a criminal record.

At this point, it is essential for drivers to have the strongest possible advocate who believes in building a case to protect their clients from the consequences of failing to provide a specimen. Regardless of the outcome of their DUI case, there is a mandatory driver’s license suspension for one year if they are convicted of refusing to provide a sample. There are additional jail time penalties to consider as well.

The firm is widely known for providing advice to their community, giving them the benefit of their attorneys’ years of experience and expert, comprehensive knowledge of Los Angeles’ Drink Driving laws. Recently, they were featured on Digital Journal for the advice they shared regarding drivers who were facing a 3rd Offense DUI. The article highlights that, “Matters can get very ugly in the event of a 3rd DUI offense, and the severe legal implications that come with a 3rd repeated charge could be tough to defend and avoid.”

A 3rd DUI conviction also carries a minimum of 120 days of jail time, and this period could be extended up to one year. While no one plans to get a 3rd DUI conviction, the best way to avoid a 3rd charge is to ensure the first charge is dealt with by an experienced lawyer. Fortunately, having an advocate from Los Angeles DUI Lawyer means anyone in this unfortunate position has an experienced professional who will explore all possibilities when fighting their case.

Those who have already received a DUI or any other related charge can call Los Angeles DUI Lawyer and request a free consultation. If they already have a DUI conviction, they may use the firm’s services to obtain a DUI reduction, removal or expungement as well. The firm provides a full range of services for drivers facing Drinking and Driving Charges, Driving Under The Influence, Impaired Driving Charges, DUI Criminal Defense, and so on.

Complete information on their legal services can be found on their website, along with a selection of useful resources. Interested parties are also welcome to follow Los Angeles DUI Lawyer through their social media channels on Facebook and Twitter to stay abreast of their latest news and announcements.

HAGENS BERMAN, NATIONAL TRIAL ATTORNEYS, Encourages Exelon Corporation (EXC) Investors with Significant Losses to Contact Its Attorneys, Securities Fraud Lawsuit Filed

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE /  December 19, 2019 / Hagens Berman urges Exelon Corporation (NASDAQ: EXC) investors who have suffered losses in excess of $50,000 to submit their losses now to learn if they qualify to recover their investment losses. A securities fraud class action has been filed against the Company and senior executives.

Class Period: Feb. 9, 2019 – Nov. 1, 2019

Exelon Corporation (EXC) Securities Class Action:

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants concealed that Exelon and its executives were engaged in unlawful lobbying activities and that revenues generated by Exelon's subsidiary, ComEd, were in part the product of unlawful conduct.

The Complaint alleges that the market learned the truth through a series of disclosures, beginning on July 15, 2019, when Defendants disclosed that both Exelon and ComEd had received a grand jury subpoena from the DOJ requiring information concerning their lobbying activities in Illinois.

Then, on Oct. 9, 2019, Defendants disclosed that both Exelon and ComEd had received a second grand jury subpoena from the DOJ, now seeking communications with certain individuals and entities, including Illinois State Senator Martin Sandoval.

On Oct. 15, 2019, Exelon announced the abrupt departure of Anne Pramaggiore, Chief Executive Officer of Exelon Utilities, and former President/CEO of ComEd.

Then, on Oct. 31, 2019, Defendants disclosed that the SEC had also opened an investigation into Exelon's lobbying activities.

Finally, on Nov. 1, 2019, the Chicago Tribune reported that according to a source with knowledge, Ms. Pramaggiore was one focus of the ongoing federal investigation. According to the same article, ComEd's lobbying investigation dated back to at least mid-May 2019, when the FBI executed search warrants at the homes of former lobbyist Mike McClain of Quincy, a longtime confidant of House Speaker Michael Madigan, and of former 23rd Ward Ald. Michael Zalewski. Additionally, the FBI sought communications among Madigan, McClain and Zalewski about attempts to obtain ComEd lobbying work for Zalewski.

If you invested in Exelon between Feb. 9, 2019 and Nov. 1, 2019 (the "Class Period") and suffered significant losses, you may qualify to be a lead plaintiff – one who selects and oversees the attorneys prosecuting the case. Contact Hagens Berman immediately for more information about the case and being a lead plaintiff.

"We're focused on recovering investors' substantial losses and proving Exelon concealed its illicit lobbying activities from investors," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.

iRobot Corporation (IRBT) Securities Class Action:

The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, iRobot reported explosive, double-digit revenue growth, which it attributed to increasing demand for its Roomba products, expanded gross margin due to distributor acquisitions, greater brand awareness and technological innovation. In reality, iRobot was engaging in channel-stuffing in order to inflate its sales and revenues figures, and had acquired two of its largest distributors in order to facilitate and conceal this deceptive practice. As a result of these misrepresentations, iRobot shares traded at artificially inflated prices throughout the Class Period.

The market learned the truth about iRobot's fraud through a series of disclosures between April 23, 2019 and October 22, 2019, when the Company, unable to continue its channel-stuffing scheme, announced disappointing quarterly revenues and poor financial guidance. All told, these disclosures caused iRobot shares to decline precipitously, wiping out significant shareholder value.

"We're focused on investors' losses and whether the company inflated its reported revenues," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding iRobot should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program.

Canopy Growth (CGC) Securities Class Action:

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period Defendants falsely represented and failed to disclose that: (i) Canopy had exaggerated and/or overestimated the potential market for its products in Canadian retail stores; (ii) as a result, Canopy had failed to properly account for inventory and demand for its products, leading to inventory write-offs and restructuring charges; (iii) all of the foregoing was reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on the Company's financial results; and (iv) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

The complaint alleges that the true details regarding Canopy's business and prospects entered the market on Nov. 14, 2019, when the Company announced a disappointing 2Q 2020 earnings, blaming the poor results on inventory write-offs and restructuring charges for product returns, return provisions and pricing allowances.

HAGENS BERMAN, NATIONAL TRIAL ATTORNEYS, Encourages Aurora Cannabis (ACB) Investors With $200k+ Losses to Contact Its Attorneys, Application Deadline Approaching

Aurora Cannabis (ACB) Class Action:

The complaint alleges that Defendants misled investors about Aurora Cannabis' business and prospects.

More specifically, according to the complaint, Defendants misleadingly and repeatedly touted the Company's continuing revenue ramp quarter-to-quarter. In addition, as recently as Oct. 3, 2019, the Company provided investors a construction update on its operations and growth initiatives, including on its Aurora Sun and Aurora Nordic 2 projects, touting that Aurora continues to progress construction of the "Sky Class" facilities.

But on Nov. 14, 2019, Aurora Cannabis shocked investors when it announced wider than expected losses and that revenue had declined by 24% quarter over quarter. In addition, the cash-strapped Company disclosed it would be halting construction immediately at its Aurora Nordic 2 and Aurora Sun facilities.

MarketWatch reported, "[a]nalysts said that investors had a reason for anger and distrust." An analyst at Jeffries reportedly noted, "With possible cash pressures evident, announcing ceased construction at facilities despite a press release just 6 weeks ago praising progression, and now EBITDA (and cash) positive looking unlikely this year, it would be fair for investors not to believe them."

This news sent the price of Aurora Cannabis shares plummeting about 17% on November 15, 2019, the largest single-day percentage decline for Aurora shares in more than five years and the lowest closing price since October 2017.

"We're focused on recovering investors' losses and whether Aurora Cannabis misled investors about its operations and growth initiatives," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Bennett Velasquez Discusses the Sustainability Trends to Watch Out For in the Hospitality Industry

COLUMBIA, SC / ACCESSWIRE / December 19, 2019 / As a Hospitality, Retail and Sports Management (HSRM) student at The University of South Carolina, Bennett Velasquez strives to become a leader in the hospitality industry on matters of sustainability and the environment. His desire is to find responsible ways to lessen overall waste where possible in the hospitality and tourism industry and create "smart business tactics." Due to his strong passion for sustainability in the hospitality industry, Bennett Velasquez discusses the latest trends.

Solar Energy Roofs and Energy Saving Windows

During his studies, Bennett Velasquez has noticed the increasing trend among hotels of solar energy roofs and energy-saving windows. More and more hotels are opting for adding solar panels to their rooftops to help power the building and reduce energy consumption. Many new properties are also making installing energy-saving windows a priority. These windows help keep the temperature inside the room and reduce energy consumption.

Saving the Bees

Although not many people know this, the bee population is in rapid decline due to industrial agriculture, pesticides, parasites, and climate change. The decrease in the bee population could have a significant effect on biodiversity. Hotels such as the Waldorf Astoria, New York have begun to take steps to save the bee population. Some other hotels that keep bees on their roofs include the Mandarin Oriental (Paris), W (Taipei), Fairmont Waterfront (Vancouver), and St. Ermin's Hotel (London).

Food Waste Reduction

Bennett Velasquez mentions that research shows the hotel industry produces 5 to 7 million tons of food waste a year. To reduce their overall food waste, hotels are taking significant steps to remedy this issue. Some hotels have considered implementing à la carte menus instead of buffets to minimize excess food. Other hotels are focusing on sourcing local produce and adding only seasonal foods to their menus. Composting programs to help hotels dispose of food are becoming more and more common. On-site herb gardens are also on the rise.

Bennett Velasquez is a freshman at The University of South Carolina in Columbia. Although he just started his college career, he is the recipient of the Garnet Scholarship and the South Carolina Life Scholarship. Bennett is a Green Scholar at USC and is the Carolina Sustainable Newcomer of the Year. He also has been invited to attend the prestigious and competitive Cesar Ritz Hotel and Hospitality Management School in Switzerland.
