Dubai, United Arab Emirates, January 22, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Award-winning firm’s (company) leader Mr. Hassan Elhais says the move is in recognition of the legal needs of the growing number of Chinese citizens residing in the UAE.

“The number of Chinese nationals who live in the UAE has been steadily growing and the population now accounts for a significant portion of the total number of residents.

“As one of the country’s elite law firms, Al Rowaad Advocates conducts a lot of its work for international clients and across multiple jurisdictions; in fact, 98 percent of our clients are expatriate. While we already offered versions of our website in English, Arabic, Russian and French, we are delighted to be able to extend the numerous resources on our extensive website to a new linguistic group.”

Citing embassy figures, BQ magazine estimated there were 200,000 Chinese nationals living in the UAE in 2015 – a total that is almost double the number of British citizens. Officials also tallied 450,000 Chinese visitors entering the country in the same year.

Mr Elhais says for those in need of legal expertise, where matters can be of extreme sensitivity, it is vital clients can access information in the language that they are most conversant with.

“The legal process can be, at times, an overwhelming one – particularly in a foreign country and foreign language. We have a number of staff members who are fluent in Mandarin and we are able to provide an exceptional legal service to clients with such requirements.”

Almost full content of the existing expansive website, which features a suite of articles on all areas of the firm’s legal expertise – including Arbitration, Banking, Business Civil, Criminal, Family, Inheritance, Maritime and Property laws – will be available to the firm’s Chinese-speaking clients. The website will be published in Mandarin, the primary language spoken in China. There are almost 1 billion native Mandarin speakers around the world.

Mr. Elhais says his firm is able to provide legal services for Chinese nationals both inside and outside of the country, particularly in the area of business law.

“Our firm has advised many of the top companies in the UAE on regulatory business matters and has years of institutional knowledge about how to set up and operate a successful business inside the country.”

Ben Talei, MD and his team are moving the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Center to an opulent, one of a kind new office that includes a self-playing Steinway Grand piano. The new office will be open on January 23rd and is located at 465 North Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills.

Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) January 23, 2017

The Beverly Hills Center for Plastic and Laser Surgery is moving to a brand new, state of the art medical office at 465 North Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills. Located in Suite 750 of the Rox San Medical Building, the new center offers great ease of access and privacy. Located in the heart of the Beverly Hills Golden Triangle, it will also be very convenient for patients who want to roam around Rodeo Drive to do some high end shopping.

Their first day at this new location is Monday, January 23rd and their phone number will remain (310) 288-0641.

The new facility features a self-playing Steinway grand piano, crystal chandeliers, striking marble floors, oversized leather chairs and valet parking. It might be the only such facility in the world to feature a stunning 2,500 square foot patio where patients can relax, enjoy an espresso and listen as the grand piano plays. It also features two of Beverly Hills' top aestheticians.

“Dr. Ben Talei's work is widely respected by physicians and loved by all his patients, including celebrities," states Adriane Schwartz, West Coast Deputy Bureau Chief for In Touch Weekly, Life & Style Weekly, and Closer Weekly. “I have celebrity friends who fly across the country to see Ben because he’s the only one they trust with their face. When you see his remarkable before and after photos, it becomes clear why he's considered a miracle worker.”

Offering a wide range of services, Ben Talei, MD, Director, Board Certified Dual Fellowship Trained Facial Plastic Surgeon, specializes in the Modified Upper Lip Lift to avoid issues commonly associated with classic lip lifting techniques. Talei is able to provide the most impressive, discrete results, with incisions that are almost invisible to the naked eye. He also pioneered The AuraLyft, the world’s most advanced face and neck lift. Featuring the most comprehensive deep plane release, The AuraLyft produces astounding, unmatched results so that patients of any age or gender can expect to look significantly more refreshed, rejuvenated and revitalized.

“At our new location we will continue to offer excellent surgical care and friendly, personalized treatments, but in a more private - yet spacious - setting. And the lighting and energy in our new location is dream worthy” states Talei. “While many cosmetic medical offices aspire to become more spa-like and antiseptic looking, we have taken a very different approach. We simply wanted an office that doesn't feel like one. You can enter our office and simply relax while appreciating the beauty of the facility itself.”

A genius design team built the office from floor to ceiling: Antonio Tadrissi of Prototype Design Labs from Toronto, Canada has taken special interest in the office, building every single finish and piece of furniture in his own factory. The lightning and artwork have also been designed and manufactured with Antonio’s personal involvement. Prototype Design Labs is known for its “anything is possible” approach to design and fabrication, experimenting with new materials and forging relationships with independent artists to create original interiors that defy design type and transcend trendiness. Some of the studio’s previous clients include BMW Canada, Benson and Hedges, Absolut Vodka, recording artist Drake, and Intercontinental Hotels.

A native of California, Dr. Talei holds degrees from UCLA and the San Diego School of Medicine (UCSD) and completed his residency training in Head & Neck Surgery at New York Presbyterian Hospital. He holds multiple degrees and certifications. Dr. Talei is an avid author and speaker as well as humanitarian, dedicating his time and skills to help others, including through Operation Smile, HUGS (Help Give Us Smiles), and Healing the Children on Cleft Lip & Palate and Microtia missions to Honduras, Ecuador, Vietnam, Guatemala and Colombia. Dr. Talei set up a “Heroes for Hope Race” in Manhattan and Brooklyn, raising money for Brain Cancer Research.

Leading payments research and consulting firm, Mercator Advisory Group, offers complimentary outlook on trends shaping the payments industry in 2017.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) January 23, 2017

Fintech has been labeled the great disrupter of payments, and it is very much a force to be reckoned with. But could the emerging environment of regulatory uncertainty disrupt the great disrupter in 2017? Mercator Advisory Group’s latest research note, 2017 Payments Outlook, summarizes the 2017 Outlook forecasts available from six of Mercator’s research practices—the Credit, Debit, Prepaid, Customer Interaction, Commercial and Enterprise Payments, and Emerging Technologies Advisory Services—as well as the forecast for Merchant Services. The Outlooks highlight the sweep of changes Mercator anticipates for the volatile year ahead as well as the technology trends that will drive change beyond the 2017 horizon.

“Last year, “disruption” was the watchword in payments—primarily the fintech variety. This year disruption by financial technology (fintech) firms might well be joined by regulatory uncertainty, which could be more disruptive than either regulatory or deregulatory certainty,” comments Ken Paterson, Mercator Advisory Group’s VP of Research Operations and author of this overview Outlook for 2016.

Download this and all of Mercator Advisory Group’s 2016 Payments Outlooks.

The 2017 Payments Outlook summarizes the major themes from Mercator’s advisory services, themes that include:

•     The particular vulnerability of the prepaid segment to regulatory gridlock
•     Major product and transaction routing changes that magnify the regulatory uncertainties for debit
•     Positive business outlook for credit cards, albeit with some growing profitability challenges
•     Increasing interest for fintech solutions within commercial payments—as well as growing fraud risks
•     The emerging role of financial institutions as application platforms
•     The immediate need for payments stakeholders to embrace tokenization, machine learning applications, and application programming interface (API)-based architecture
•     The rising competitive tide of mobile loyalty apps among merchants

The free 2017 Payments Outlook is the last in a series of eight Outlook notes by Mercator Advisory Group that provide insights into trends and new themes on the horizon that will have a significant impact on the payments and banking industry, consumers, and the ways companies do business in 2017 and beyond. The subjects of these Outlooks set the foundation for Mercator Advisory Group’s research agenda for the coming year and provide a framework for key points of engagement that Mercator Advisory Group will have with its clients in 2017.

The Outlooks for 2017 are presented by each of Mercator Advisory Group’s Advisory Services—Credit (including Merchant Services), Debit, Prepaid, Customer Interaction, Commercial and Enterprise Payments, and Emerging Technologies—and can be downloaded without charge.

Companies mentioned in this document include: Amazon, Apple, Chase, Citi, CVS, Disney, Dunkin’ Donuts, Early Warning, Facebook, Ford, Google, IBM, Kohl’s, Macy’s, MasterCard, Microsoft, PayPal, Rite Aid, Samsung, Starbucks, Tesla, USAA, Visa, Walmart, and Wells Fargo.

Bestbodyfatscales.com a review website that has been set up for doling out relevant and up-to-date information on fat monitors, recently reviewed top body fat scales and trimmers.

New York, New York (PRWEB) January 24, 2017

BestBodyFatScales.com, a review website owned and managed by Tommy Banks, a fitness expert and guru, recently dished out a lot of useful information about body fat scales or fat monitors that help users understand how much extra weight that they have put on. The website’s aim is to change the way people analyze their diet and workout requirements and offers relevant information on body fat scales. BestBodyFatScales.com owner and fitness pro Tommy said that these scales are instrumental in measuring the possible impacts of diet and body fat on human body.

A body fat scale uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis or BIA for providing a correct measure for the fat stored in human body. The technology is painless and sends out an imperceptible electric current through the human body. Fat is a poor conductor of body fat, and the body fat is measured by the resistance experienced by the electric wave. Body fat scales such as Withings WS-50 Smart Body Analyzer (http://www.bestbodyfatscales.com/withings-ws-50-smart-body-analyzer/) are different from the bathroom scales as it measures body fat, and not just weight overall, so that the users can get to act on their extra pounds and change their diet and workout plan accordingly.

Tommy Banks, who is a fitness freak himself and loves reviewing fitness products based on first-hand experience and sharing his experience on Facebook, recently said that acceptable body fat is a variable which is based on different factors such as age, height and gender. He said that by following the body fat scales, people can bring important changes in their health and fitness routine by following the body fat scale they use. Therefore, it is important to use the best body fat scales.

“Through this blog site, I and my team of fitness experts would try to add important information about body fat scales from time to time. I have worked in the fitness industry for years and I know these low-cost body fat scales can work wonders when it comes to analysing the body fat. I think fitness enthusiasts would benefit a lot by reading my in-depth reviews and fitness tips on a regular basis”, said Tommy recently.

MexicoLite Intra will help shippers and 3PLs rate point-to-point LTL shipments in Mexico.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) January 23, 2017

SMC³ unveiled its latest innovation Monday during the first day of the Jump Start 2017 supply chain conference, announcing it has created an LTL rate benchmark for shipments traveling point-to-point within Mexico.

The new product, MexicoLite™ Intra, joins the CzarLite® family of trusted and widely used base rate products. The solution is an extension of MexicoLite, which contains base rates that are already well established for shipments traveling between the U.S. and Mexico. MexicoLite Intra offers rating solutions based on dimensional weight, modeled on Mexico-to-Mexico postal codes and delivered in Mexican pesos.

Before the introduction of intra-Mexico pricing, shippers and logistics service providers working in Mexico did not have a reliable way to benchmark the pricing data they received from carriers. These customers now have the power to determine their best costs for their shipments every single time.

“U.S.-, Canadian- and Mexican-based shippers and 3PLs have lacked a set of intra-Mexican benchmark rates for use in their negotiations with carriers. We created MexicoLite Intra to fill that void and meet overwhelming marketplace demand,” said Andrew Slusher, president and CEO of SMC³. “These customers now have the ability to compare our neutral base rate with rates provided by each carrier.”

To fulfill its promise of being an ally for shippers and 3PLs operating within Mexico, SMC³ has partnered with the top Mexican carriers to present a holistic view of the market and accurately measure shifts in pricing. SMC³ will expand and grow its Mexican benchmarking services as the needs of customers change.

About SMC³

SMC³ is a hub of expertise in the LTL arena. Fueled by heavyweight, analytical APIs, SMC³ delivers its core competency – LTL pricing expertise – through collaborative pricing technology that supports end-to-end, ongoing predictability in shipper/3PL-carrier relationships. More than 5,000 North American shippers, carriers, logistics service providers and freight-payment companies rely on SMC³’s sophisticated LTL base rates, content, and expert bidding and planning tools to make the best business decisions, achieve higher returns on their transportation investment, and meet the dynamic demands of the market. Through hosted API solutions, SMC³ supports the entire supply chain with industry-leading speed, reliability and performance. SMC³: Investing a lifetime to help optimize freight transportation.

Two Days After the Largest Women’s Rights March in History, Donald Trump Reinstates the Global Gag Rule

New York (NY) (PRWEB) January 23, 2017

Today, Mr. Trump reinstated the Global Gag Rule, an executive policy that extends Congressional abortion restrictions on foreign assistance by barring US foreign aid from going to any foreign organization that performs or provides information about abortions as a method of family planning.

“Just one day after the 44th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade and two days after the largest women’s march in history, Mr. Trump has demonstrated his commitment to dismantling women’s rights around the world,” says Janet Benshoof, president of the Global Justice Center. “We now know the Trump Administration’s sexist and misogynist rhetoric will be put into effect immediately, with deadly consequences for women here at home and around the world.”

Under international law, abortion is protected medical care for women, the denial of which can constitute violations of women’s rights to be free from gender-based discrimination, free from torture, cruel and inhuman treatment and rights to life and health. By imposing restrictions on abortion access in the US and abroad, the US is violating women’s human rights.

Since 1971 the Helms Amendment has barred any US foreign aid from being used to perform or provide information about abortion. These restrictions apply to all US aid, including humanitarian aid to women and girls raped in war, which violates their rights to necessary medical care under the Geneva Conventions. The reinstatement of the Global Gag Rule, which extends the reach Helms by limiting what foreign organizations receiving US family planning funds, can do with their non-US funds and censors even the information and counseling that women can receive, is sure to increase the impact of the Helms Amendment.

US abortion restrictions on foreign assistance have become a matter of serious concern to our allies. In the past 5 years, countries and international entities including the UN and EU have recognized that abortion is protected medical care for girls and women raped in war. The European Parliament has gone as far as specifying in its budget that the EU’s humanitarian aid must be provided in accordance with international humanitarian law and not be subject to restrictions imposed by partner donors, such as the US. This amendment was put into effect to limit the restrictions of Helms but will also apply to the Gag Rule.

“The reinstatement of the Gag Rule will only serve to put the US further out of step with our allies,” says Benshoof. “These violations of women’s rights cannot stand. The EU has already put in safeguards to protect their humanitarian aid from US anti-choice restrictions. We will continue to work with the international community to limit the US’s ability to determine the medical care that women in places like Congo, Iraq, and Burma can receive.”

At a standards meeting held in January at AUDI AG in Ingolstadt, Germany, carmakers, Tier 1 suppliers, and technology providers from around the world have reached agreement on key technical and procedural elements of the upcoming SAE Recommended Practice (RP) Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) and automated parking alignment and charging of electrified vehicles.

WARRENDALE, Pa. (PRWEB) January 23, 2017

At a standards meeting held in January at AUDI AG in Ingolstadt, Germany, carmakers, Tier 1 suppliers, and technology providers from around the world have reached agreement on key technical and procedural elements of the upcoming SAE Recommended Practice (RP) Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) and automated parking alignment and charging of electrified vehicles. The goal of this standardization is to ensure interoperability and performance between the wide range of electrified vehicles being developed by carmakers worldwide, and the wireless charging stations that will be widely deployed to streamline the charging of the next generation of EV’s and PHEV’s. The SAE J2954™ Taskforce, chaired by Jesse Schneider, has been working since 2010 to develop the specifications and standards needed to achieve seamless interoperability.

“Charging your vehicle should be as simple as parking it and walking away—and wireless charging with SAE J2954™ enables that freedom and convenience to do this automatically,” says Mr. Schneider. “Automakers believe that wireless charging can greatly help to make both electrified and autonomous vehicles mainstream, and they have been active supporters of our standardization efforts. Reaching a decision for a common J2954™ RP test station, equipped with circular topology, provides automakers with the technical direction for their wireless charging system design, development and production release plans to meet industry compatibility, interoperability and performance standards. It is a major step forward for the industry.”

The Taskforce members have agreed on specifications for the SAE J2954™ Test Stations, which automakers will use as a basis to develop their wireless charging systems, and to verify that they will interoperate with charging systems and vehicles sold by other makers. The Taskforce agreed that the WPT1 (3.7 kW) circular coil system and the WPT2 (7.7 kW) circular coil system will be in the Test Stations used to test products developed by car makers, Tier 1 suppliers, and charging infrastructure suppliers to confirm SAE J2954™ compatibility. These wireless charging systems charge at the same rate that existing Level 1 and Level 2 wired chargers operate.

Earlier in 2016, SAE International performed bench testing of these systems at the US Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory and TDK to confirm that charging rates, efficiency, and emissions can meet regulatory guidelines and consumer expectations. Testing results validated interoperability between different coils (both circular and DD) with high efficiency. This enabled the RP SAE J2954™ test station to have a greater degree of freedom to prove interoperability with other topologies with newly established interoperability criteria. The goal is to standardize key elements but at the same time “keep the door open” for innovations in wireless automated charging in the future.

The consensus reached by the Taskforce enables carmakers the freedom to design the components for their own vehicles based on their preference for coil topology and power electronics design, while assuring that such systems will interoperate with the charging source that is deployed on the ground.

In 2017, the Taskforce will decide on other aspects of the standard, including standardization for wireless charging systems capable of WPT3 (11 kW) charge rates. The specifications of the SAE Test Station and procedures for validation for both the vehicle and infrastructure chargers will be defined in the SAE J2954™ Recommended Practice to be published later this year. The final SAE J2954™ Standard is to be published in 2018 based on actual vehicle test data.

On February 6th at the Center for Sustainable Energy in San Diego (the day before the SAE Hybrid Forum), the SAE J2954 Taskforce is having a technology forum to discuss standardization, status and plans for vehicle testing, and implementation of wireless charging systems with CARB, CEC, and the public.

Stephan Piscano, Founder of The Real Estate Networking Group with 2.3 million members, hosts special event for charity. Stephan discusses what his intense connection with his network means to him, the value real estate investors and real estate agents receive from these free real estate webinars; Stephan also reveals his motivation to share "insider" information with his network.

Napa, CA 94559 (PRWEB) January 30, 2017

As the founder of the largest real estate investor community online – "The Real Estate Networking Group" Stephan Piscano, has been the center piece of developing a new way for real estate agents, real estate investors, and real estate service providers to connect and engage in a social media format largely utilizing Stephan's massive reach on LinkedIn, but his mission is far greater than than just connecting real estate professionals.

“At our CORE, our mission statement is to create self-aware investors, and allow every one of our 2.2 million members in our network the ability to take back control of their money, their dreams, and their overall financial future. We see it as our greatest purpose to take back the control that the big banks, and the overall political structure has stolen from us for so many decades,” Piscano said

The drive to succeed and drive to learn started early in Piscano. “I was raised by a single mom, we moved 33 times before I was 18, we never owned anything. I would always see the landlords coming to collect rent, and I wanted to 'be that guy'. I wondered what it was that made them different, or special, and I realized later on that the most powerful resource they had then, and that myself and my partners have now is information.”

“Access, to information, resources and opportunity is what makes the difference not only in real estate but largely in any line of business, and I am so humbly thankful to be able to share whatever access, and resources I am blessed to have with everyone in our real estate community on LinkedIn or anywhere else. We realized very early on with ListedBy.com, and The Real Estate Networking Group, that our most valuable asset we had to offer was not our marketplace, or our features, rather it was OUR PEOPLE.

Our stories, our successes and even our failures, we exist largely on the premise that collectively we are all stronger, and better together than we are apart. I am blown away by how fast we have grown, and I am truly thankful that we have now connected with our members on more than 200 real estate webinars. We have had several millionaires made, and hundreds of lives and lifestyles changed as a result of the mutual connection and knowledge of our member base”. – Stephan Piscano

As Stephan approaches the milestone of 200 webinars, he wanted it to be something special. To date, the ListedBy team has never once charged any attendee for a webinar, they are always 100% no-cost, and serve as a key communication option for everyone who is a member of one of Stephan’s LinkedIn groups or opt-in email database. The 200th real estate webinar will also be no cost to members and nonmembers alike, but will allow all of us the opportunity to give back to charity.

For the first time ever, when someone registers for the no-cost webinar, that member will have the opportunity to make a voluntary donation to the “Freedom and Virtue Institute”, a charitable organization supported by ListedBy, EquityBuild, and by Stephan Piscano personally. This particular charity is one that Stephan has worked with extensively because of its amazing dedication to giving inner-city children an opportunity to learn fundamental business and life skills and create “the future self-aware investors of the next generation”.

In addition to the acceptance of charitable donations, ListedBy will be matching any donations made up-to $2,500USD.

“The start of a new year is the most exciting time to be an investor, there is more fluctuation now than at any other time. As investors we know that more fluctuation means more opportunity for profit and wealth creation. I promise you everyone that attends this webinar will not only have the opportunity to help an amazing charity, but will also receive extremely valuable, free knowledge that if put to use WILL result in a better financial future, and a better overall understanding of how the markets work, and how we together can capitalize on the opportunities that present themselves." – Stephan Piscano
