As we move further and further into the digital age,more people than ever are using their mobile devices for almost everything they do. This includes shopping for almost anything that they can think of. Because of this,companies are starting to cater their websites,advertising,and overall marketing plan toward their online customers. In a 2017 survey by Square and Mercury Analytics:

• 96% of Americans have used the internet to make purchases
• 51% of Americans would rather make all of their purchases online
• 67% of Millennials and 56% of Gen Xers would rather shop online than in a brick and mortar store
• 51% of Seniors have shopped online

Marketing professionals are quickly starting to use the internet as a way to reach as many of their customers as they can and grow their own customer base. According to socialmedia.com,90% of marketers use social media as a way to promote their business. However,it is taking longer for smaller companies to come around to this line of thinking,almost as if they consider the internet as a “fad” instead of the way future consumers will almost exclusively buy products. In another study from Square and Mercury Analytics,e-Commerce is growing at a rate of 23% annually,yet 46% of small businesses in America do not have a website. Therefore,it is imperative that small businesses get onboard with new digital marketing trends before they go by the wayside.

Online marketing is something that every business should put front and center in their marketing plan. It doesn’t matter if you call it online marketing,digital marketing,or e-Commerce marketing,it all comes down to the same thing.

As one of the key drivers after creating a new regulation was the harmonization of data protection laws throughout Europe, the one-stop-shop convention seems like a sensible addition. However, the principle is not as simple in practice as it can appear on paper, and the original Commission proposal has been modified heavily by its consequent GDPR adoptions.

-
The proposal from the Commission in article 15 is by far the simplest and most general approach: “Where the processing of personal data takes place in the context of the activities of an establishment of a controller or a processor in the Union, and the controller or processor is established in more than one Member State, the supervisory authority of the main enterprise of the controller or processor shall be competent for the supervision of the processing activities of the controller or the processor in all Member States.”

The Parliament took issue over the potential infringement of data subject rights when they are not able to easily lodge a complaint with a capable lead DPA if, for instance, contact is made difficult by language or financial means. In article 54a of its adopted text, the Parliament still bet on a lead DPA for the doling out of legal remedies, but it requires the cooperation of all concerned DPAs.The amount of concerned DPAs will also be greatly increased as a provision is also added for data subjects to lodge complaints with their local DPA in order for it then to work with the lead DPA on behalf of the data subject.Finally, the role of the Data Protection Board is heightened in its ability to decide in the situation of an unclear lead DPA and its eventual ruling in the event of the invoking of the consistency mechanism.

For over a hundred years, the Chicago Cubs have been beloved by millions. Did you know that prior to their current name, the team was once called the White Stockings? They were in the head of the pack for their first six seasons and then, unfortunately, the dry spell commenced. 1902 is the first year that the Chicago Cubs name became known.- to see what we mean.

Their first decade as the Chicago Cubs was to go down in history. It was the best decade of the team’s performance thus far. In 1907, Chicago Cubs memorabilia began to emerge. The Chicago Cubs became a household name and in 1907 they also won their first world series.

This win was followed in 2018, as the Chicago Cubs won the World Championship.

They visited the World Series in 1910 and 1918. They moved to a new playing field, located on the corner of Clark and Addison, in 1914.

William Wrigley acquired the Chicago Cubs in 1920, and in 1926 the field first bore the Wrigley name. Famed Rogers (the Rajah) Hornsby dominated the playing field during this time and, in 1929, the team got to the World Series once again. Through Prohibition and the Great Depression, the Cubs made it to the playoffs three more times.

In 1932, the Cubs added letters to their jerseys, which brought on a new type of memorabilia, especially since they changed their logo 4 times between 1940 and 1979.

The team took home the National League pennant in 1945, but the team was “cursed” in 1947. The story goes that the owner of the Billy Goat Tavern brought his stinky goat to a game. The goat, named Murphy, had such a strong odor that he was asked to leave. Murphy’s owner was offended and spoke the infamous “curse” that would plague Chicago Cubs fans for years to come.

- here.

Breaking the Curse

For the next twenty years, the Chicago Cubs were at the bottom of the league and didn’t win the World Series again until 2016. That was one angry goat!

When looking for Chicago Cubs memorabilia, you want to remember such legends Ernie Banks (1953-1972), the arrival of rookie Billy Williams (1961), third baseman Ron Santo, and power player Fergie Jenkins.

In 1967 and 1968, the team managed to get back to the postseason but failed to produce a win. Then a new curse took hold. In 1969, a black cat strolled across the field, bringing dire predictions from fans around the country. It would be 1984 before the team made it to the postseason again.

In 1998, Wrigley Field lit up for the first time, for evening games. In 1998, two gifted players made their way to memorabilia stardom. They were Kerry Word and Sammy Sosa. In 2001, the team had made six losing trips to the World Series, but 2001 was all about Sosa and his amazing skill. In 2003, the game was poised to go to the World Series but failed to make it and preprinted World Series materials were dumped in the river! In 2004, they enjoyed another winning season, the first back to back season wins since ’71-’72.

In 2007, the team went to postseason play and repeated the feat in 2008, only 104 years since they made it to the post-season two years in a row. 2008 also marked 100 years since a World Series win. Then the team headed into a downslide, annoying those in merchandising who again pre-printed winning memorabilia.

In 2015, the curse was revoked and the Chicago Cubs made it to the playoffs. In 2016, they won an impressive 103 games! This almost beat their record of 104 games set back in 1910. Look for Jake Arrieta, Kris Bryant, and Anthony Rizzo in 2016 memorabilia.

In 2016, the Cubs headed to the World Series, the first time since 1945, against the Cleveland Indians, who had last made it in 1948. The Chicago Cubs were victorious and won the 2016 World Series!

And so we are left to wait and see what the future brings for this team and the fans who adore them.-

The European court has merged the right to data portability with the honest of access in Article 15(2a) of the draft legislation. While the principles hidden the right to data portability remain part of the amended proposal, the European Parliament has limited| the scope of application of the new right. In the view of the European Parliament, the right to data portability flexibility| only apply where a direct transfer of personal data is “technically feasible and available”. Under the proposal submitted by the European Commission, the right to data portability would apply generally to all automatic processing systems irrespective of whether transfer of data is already technically possible. The amendment of the European Parliament thus no doubt tones down the potential impact of the right to data portability.

-
If the new honest to data portability would be interpreted in such a way as to be applicable exclusively if a technical measure for direct transfer of data is already available, users would only be able to rely on it in very limited circumstances. This interpretation may even bother controllers from advance standards, as the duty to transmit data only applies when this is technically feasible, thereby continuing to lock-in users.

-
While most social networking sites like Facebook and Google+ offer users the lasting to obtain a copy of their data, there are still considerable limits on the direct transfer of personal information to other platforms. In practice, users have to re-enter their profile information, photos, videos and other information manually in the new platform if they want to about-face from one social network to another. The right to data portability would address this problem.
