Breakthology is a venture of Tarunjit Singh Bachcher, a top organisation performance coach in India. Good to see the shiny new website of Breakthology.
I was a little work tied up in sending my registration cheque for Proto.in and sent some frantic mails on Friday asking the organisers if I could make the payment on the venue(Had filled the online registration form in time). Sadly, no response, and though I stay on IIT campus, decided that this event is not for me.Hence, no first hand event update from my side.Other bloggers have written on this though.

Log-likelihood, innovation variance and AIC seem to be similar though. It might be a difference in parametrization between R and gretl/EViews. Z

Quote of the Week (from last week)
Jesus issues the same call to all, but to different tasks. Someone put it rather quaintly: "to some, Christ calls 'leave boat and bay, and white-haired Zebedee.' To some, the call is harder - 'stay and mend the nets for me.' "
The Liturgy committee has been discussing the manner of distribution of the Holy Eucharist and the issue of intinction (dipping the host into the chalice) has been raised. As Holy Thursday nears, this is an opportunity to remind parishioners of the Church's guidelines on this matter. There are three reasons why the Church discourages this practice. The first is symbolic, the second theological and the third hygienic. Jesus said "Take and drink" and, so, the fullest symbol of "doing this in memory" of him is to take the chalice and drink from it. Secondly, the Church does allow for intinction in certain settings, but the Eucharist is dipped in the Precious Blood by the priest/minister and placed on the tongue. The theological problem with the way this is often practiced in North America is that the Sacred Host is carried away and dipped by the person receiving the Eucharist. We receive the Eucharist and do not help ourselves. Thirdly, people often perform self-intinction for reasons of hygiene, but the problem with this is that they are putting their fingers into a vessel from which others will drink. This is also an opportunity to remind parishioners that when receiving the Eucharist in the hand, the host is to be consumed in front of the minister and not on the way back to the pew. This is increasingly becoming more of an issue and I think it is important for our regular parishioners to model the proper manner of receiving the Holy Eucharist.
[editor's note: I have added this question to the Questions section of our Eucharist page.]
Many of you have had an opportunity to read the Archbishop's "Pastoral Letter on Death, Dying and Funerals" and the accompanying "Guidelines on Funeral Practices." Following the publication of these guidelines it is appropriate to confirm that our parish will now follow these guidelines concerning the matter of Eulogies at funerals. The Archbishop's guidelines reminded us that there is no proper place for eulogies during the Mass of Christian Burial.
The guidelines pointed out that eulogies can have an appropriate place during the wake service or at the reception after the funeral. Families are also invited to print out a word from the family in the funeral program that is often used. As a pastor it is always very difficult to deal with this issue when faced with a grieving family, so it is best to address it in this "neutral" time. For the past year and a half I have attempted to follow these guidelines (that are not new), but have often experienced great pressure from families to make exceptions. The problem is that every family who wants a eulogy believe themselves to be the exception. Sometimes the eulogies are appropriate and well done, but sometimes they are not. The problem is that there is no way to distinguish ahead of time the appropriateness of the words or delivery. The council of priests discussed this issue at great length several months ago and there was a strong consensus that this practice is raising ever greater pastoral difficulties. As our culture becomes more secular we often deal with family members who are not active members of the Church and have no real sense of the meaning of the liturgy or of the Christian understanding of death. Sometimes, eulogies can be an attempt to create meaningful ritual, but they do not belong in the funeral liturgy. The funeral liturgy is, first of all, a celebration of the family of faith and not just of the biological family. In addition, the focus of the funeral liturgy is not to celebrate the life of the deceased, but to celebrate the life, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus and what that means for the faithfully departed member of our Church family. Eulogies can often take on a life of their own and impose themselves upon the liturgy as being the most significant part of the gathering.
I realize that this position will not be welcomed by some parishioners, but I hope that you will understand the difficulties involved in this issue and be mindful of it in the event of planning a funeral or grieving the loss of a loved one. Our funeral liturgy is truly beautiful and there is ample opportunity to honour the memory of a deceased loved one as we follow the liturgical guidelines and the ancient practice of the Christian Church.
[editor's note: I have added a section on Funeral Liturgy to Questions section of our Eucharist page.]
STACM Holy Week Schedule (online schedule)
The holiest days of the year are almost upon us and we are invited to enter into them in the spirit of a retreat. Holy week is the culmination of the whole Lenten Season and the Sacred Triduum is the culmination of Holy Week.
Holy Thursday
The Triduum will begin on Holy Thursday night with a celebration of Mass of the Lord's Supper beginning at 7 pm at Canadian Martyrs. This liturgy will include the washing of feet and will conclude with a Eucharistic procession to the hall and a time of adoration and prayer until midnight. Parishioners are invited to return at some point for a time of "watching" with the Lord as we remember his time in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Good Friday
There will be a children's Way of the Cross at STA parish hall at 11 am on Good Friday. This event was originally scheduled to take place at CM but we need to use the large screen and stage at STA as the Way of the Cross will be done in silhouette. There will be a Solemn Liturgy at 3 pm at both locations and a Way of the Cross at 7 pm at STA followed by The Passion of the Christ at 7:45 pm in the Parish Hall. Good Friday is a day of fasting and abstinence (no meat or alcohol and one main meal during the day). This is truly a Holy day and not just a holiday from school and work. Let us make it Holy by setting it apart for the Lord.
Holy Saturday
The Easter Vigil is the greatest liturgical celebration of the year. This year we will be blessed to baptise two young catechumens and bring four people into full communion with the Catholic Church. The Vigil will be held at STA at 8pm and will begin outside with the blessing of the Easter Fire the procession of Light and the Easter Proclamation of the Exultet. We will have all the readings (it is a vigil after all) and then the Liturgy of Baptism and Eucharist. There will be a celebration in the parish hall after the vigil Mass.
This is our first Triduum as the newly constituted parish of St. Thomas Aquinas Canadian Martyrs. I invite St. Thomas Aquinas Parishioners to embrace the Holy Thursday Mass at CM as their celebration, and likewise, that Canadian Martyrs parishioners embrace the Easter Vigil at STA as their Easter Vigil.
It is customary for Catholics to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation before the celebration of Easter (this used to be referred to as "The Easter Duty"). The Sacrament will be available throughout this coming week at the following times: Wednesday 7:30-8:30 pm at CM, Thursday 3-4 pm at STA, Good Friday from 4-5 pm at both locations and Holy Saturday 2-4 pm at Canadian Martyrs. I hope that parishioners will avail themselves of these opportunities to prepare for the Easter Mysteries.
Altar Servers
There is also an abbreviated schedule of Holy Week events available here.
We want to acknowledge the tremendous amount of work done by the members of our Altar Society. These dedicated volunteers of our parish take the time to polish all the brass in the Churches, the Sacred vessels, clean the Altars and Sanctuary, the Sacristy, wash out the holy water containers around the Church and keep all the linens washed, ironed and looking beautiful. Thank you all for your dedication and hard work.
The Marriage Course [info]
On Thursday the 20th of April the parish will be beginning another session of "The Marriage Course" It will be held at Canadian Martyrs. This is a seven-week course designed to strengthen marriages. The course involves a relaxed catered meal with each couple at their own candle-lit table with music in the back ground, followed by a talk on video and discussion questions for just the couple. Please call Maria McDonald at 422-0564 for more information.
NOTE: If you are interested in this course please register before April 12. If there are not enough couples registered we will have to reschedule this until the fall.
Each Sunday there is a dinner for the homeless and underfed at St. Andrew's Church on the corner of Robie Street and Coburg Road as Hope Cottage is closed on the weekend. Each week a different service organization prepares the meal On Sunday April 23rd, the Social Action Committee of STACM is preparing that meal. We are looking for volunteers to cook casseroles and/or help with the serving and clean up. There will be sign up sheets at the back of the church this weekend. If you have any questions please contact Joyce Giacomantonio at 423-3289.

Does law enforcement actually care if you drive with your permit without taking your first behind the wheel lesson?
I want to drive but I haven't taken my behind the wheel lessons because of Coronavirus. If I drive and get stopped by the police, will they care if I haven't taken my lessons yet?
I'm in the state of California driving under a California DMV Instructional Permit.

If you have an "Instructional Permit" (a restricted Learner's License?), you're driving legally (if there is a licensed driver accompanying you), and law enforcement doesn't care if you've taken "behind the wheel" driving lessons or not. You don't ever have to take "behind the wheel" driving lessons at all, but you DO have to take and pass the Written portion of the driving test. Which you've already done, or else you wouldn't have a permit.

WHY can't you respect the well established law? Why is it ok to go around the law because of this or because of that? Without having any "behind the wheel" training, what makes you seem to think that you are qualified to drive? I think it's a big mistake.
I have been greatly inconvenienced by this covid19 situation, but I just stay home and keep myself busy there.
The police will be happy to confiscate the vehicle and cite you for all your violations. If you are unlicensed, then any insurance on the car will not be in effect.

Yup. They will run an investigation if an unlicensed (and therefore uninsured) driver gets pulled over or has a crash. Will not be able to buy insurance if you have a driving record before you have a drivers license.

You must drive with your parent, guardian, spouse, or an adult 25 years of age or older, who has a valid California driver license.
Have them take you to a park so you can practice.

Forget about your 'registration paper'. If you have license plates on your car or a current registration sticker on your windshield, that is proof that the car is registered. You wouldn't have either of those if your car was NOT registered.

Mallorca in February
Hola my friends!
This time we traveled by plane… since crossing over to Mallorca Island in our caravan could be hazardous. 🙂 Mallorca has no campsites anyway… so we decided to rent an apartment. I found a great deal, because February and March are off season. Even renting a (new) car for two months and 4 days cost only 340,00 Euros!
Just click on photos to enlarge.
Because good deals are sometimes booked years ahead, I booked last April. We were really excited, since we have never spent a vacation in one spot so long… in other words, we decided to test the snow bird thingy. We checked the temperatures for this time of year. The temps were always between 60 and 75 degrees. So you can imagine the shock when the first 8 days were just above freezing, rainy, and hurricane winds. When speaking with folks around us, they looked surprised at our naive trust, confirming that the cold temperatures are absolutely normal for this time of year. So what does this tell us? Don't trust those temperature sites… they are often sponsored by travel online sites….. need I say more?
To be honest with you, I love it when it's stormy outside, especially when we can see the Mediterranean sea churning like a washing machine, right outside of our glass sliding doors. Perfect weather to hammer away at my lap top and work on my second novel, (more about that another time. 🙂 ) Hubby reads the newspaper, watches soccer, and meanwhile the Olympic games… shhh… don't tell him… but I welcome this weather.
When a sunny day does come, like yesterday, all the more we rejoice, and OOO and AAA at all the glorious scenery sparkling in the sunlight . Take a look… the following shots were from our outing yesterday.
Hope you enjoyed the photos! If so please share and or leave a comment…. I love to hear from you too!
Waving to you from Mallorca,
"Earth Rocket to Mars, we are now approaching Planet Earth."
A translucent light blinked, "Mars to Earth Rocket, good luck! And bring back living species!"
Three green Martians stepped out from their flying saucer. They overlooked a stone fortress surrounded by acres of vineyards. Near the fortress, groups of living creatures gathered around tables drinking and spitting.
"Looks like we found our living specimens!" the tallest Martian said. "What a bizarre way of consumption."
"The sign over there is in Spanish! It just so happens – Spanish is one of the 1000 languages I learned for this trip!" The shortest Martian slowly read out loud;
"Private wine tours in Rioja!"
"They go on 'whine' tours? Now that is really weird!" The middle Martian said. "Let's observe them!"
In a flash, they beamed their bodies behind large oak barrels by the fortress walls. Their ears grew as they listened to the living specimens communicate.
"We stayed overnight in Barcelona." A female homo sapien gushed.
"Oh how lovely! And we visited the oldest tavern in Madrid," another creature squealed.
"Got to give it to 'em," a deep voice drawled. "I've never tasted the likes of this in Texas! It's way too dandy to spit out! Sure wish humans would get better with age too!"
The group began to sputter and giggle, when suddenly one of the human specimens tripped and tumbled against the wine barrels.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" he exclaimed.
Three tall green Martians slowly emerged from behind the barrels.
The mesmerized group returned the Martians' shocked stares … till a male human raised a glass and slurred, "You guys sure look like you need a drink!"
Before the Martians could protest, each one was handed a glass of fizzy red wine.
"We like sparkles." the middle Martian said and sniffed the wine, swirling it in his glass till he finally dared to taste it.
"Mmmm good … more MORE!" the three exclaimed. (After all they had just completed an exhausting 125 year long trip).
Suddenly a voice boomed out of a Martian's finger-ring. "Soooo? What shape is Planet Earth in?"
The Martian took a long swallow, before answering. "This sun filled planet is like one big fermenting grape – enticingly sweet – but irresistibly naughty."
"Have you found any living specimens yet?" The voice sounded impatient. "You know that you must return before night fall!"
The three Martians giggled. "Return? Are you out of your extra-terrestrial mind?"
The leader tossed the blinking ring into the vineyard and winked his forehead eye at their new found friends. "Here's to this day, we'll never remember, with the friends we'll never forget."
"Cheers!" They all raised their glasses in salute.
"Here's to galaxies and aliens,
Martians and Homo sapiens.
Rich soil and Spanish sunshine!
Sniff, swirl and savor – sweetly we favor,
A glass of Rioja wine!"
Mallorca's Pretty Bizaare Trees
Most folks are proclaimed tree lovers, and I'm no exception. Not only Palm trees grow here… but….well, you'll see. I never expected to see so many wacky looking trees on the island. You could say I've going berserk over the bizarre.
Mallorca is famous for its almonds…and naturally the Almond trees. Almond cake is THE cake of Mallorca, and it's truly delicious. Almond trees are pretty… the most bizarre trees are the Olive trees .… each one a unique piece of modern art. Take a look at the ones that caught my eye… and my camera.
As a child I used to love to climb our huge pine tree in our backyard, so I guess I'm partial to pine trees. What about you? Do you have a favorite tree?
Vacationing with Friends and Family
Do you vacation with friends and/or family… or do you prefer going on your own or as a couple?
We've gone on many a vacation with my brother, and it has always been wonderful. This time we were six folks, and it was even better. I dare say it was the big H vacation!
Harmonious, Humorous, and Happy … of course we enjoyed Heavenly views, not to mention….. Hiking up Hills, Horsing around and drinking plenty of delicious French wine…Hic.
Well, just to make a sweet story short… exactly – four minutes short… I put a little video together. … It might just get you into the mood of traveling with others … cause it's really true; … the more the merrier.
My Last Rose
While on a stroll in my windswept yard,
I searched for plants that weren't hit too hard.
For rain, hail and winds stripped and cropped,
Dainty rose pedals till they dropped.
But then a sun ray shone down from the sky,
And something pink and shiny caught my eye.
I pushed back the fern and lifted a branch,
To see sparkly rain drops twinkle and dance,
Upon a single rose – spread in full blossom,
A delicate beauty – quietly awesome.
For nothing is quite as lovely or shines much brighter,
Than when frail life morphs into a damn good Fighter.

I LOVE my E-bike!
I have never before mentioned a product I use, but this time I can't help myself.
If you should ever consider buying an electric bicycle, you might just be overwhelmed by all the choices that are on the market. I was. I try to support local stores, so I set off visiting one bike shop after the other. All of them offered e-bikes, but not one of them had a folding e-bike in their itinerary. The sales person usually began to leaf through his catalog to present me a folding e-bike starting off with about 2000 Euros ($ 2232.90). Wow… that was out of my league.
Although I was skeptical about buying a bike before I could test ride it, I decided to check the internet.
In my search, I listed: compact fold, maximum loading, minimum mileage/kilometer range and price. The E-bike Xia was the only one that showed up.
And amazingly enough … the price was right! https://www.germanxia.de/
Since we camp a lot, I needed a bike that could easily fold and be stored in the back of our Nissan. The maximum weight was important, since I'm not exactly a light weight and I do carry heavy camera equipment with me. A big added plus is when the battery is fully charged… the e-bike runs up to 138 kilometers!
I love LOVE my e-bike. For the first time in years, I have no knee pain after a bike tour. The comfortable upright position, without having to lean on my wrists is perfect. And it's easy to get off and on the saddle, because of the low slung bar.
Yes, There Are Age Limits: At least 40 US states and Canadian provinces have a minimum operator age for e-bikes, typically 14 or 16 years of age. In Alberta, 12 year olds can operate an e-bike, but in Quebec, you must be 18.
Speedy Enough: Think cars are that much faster than an e-bike? Think again. The average car speed for around-town driving is 18 mph. Average e-bike speed? A very respectable 15 mph.
Yes, They Still Count as Exercise: Though they're pedal assist, an e-bike can still give you a workout, improving your cardiovascular health, fitness, and aerobic capacity.
Here are a few photos of my Stallion… Ah… s'cuse me, my e-bike. I call him Silver, as in the Long Ranger's horse … Hi Yo Silver! My boomer friends will surely know what I'm talking about.
Tarifa, the most beautiful beach I've ever seen!
Of course that doesn't mean there aren't many more beautiful beaches. But the Tarifa beach is the most beautiful one I've ever seen. (Click on photo to enlarge!)
We would never have discovered this place if we had never met Javiar, the owner of a beach side restaurant.
Because we ordered a huge fish platter at the ungodly hour of 11:30 in the morning (we were the only guests), Javiar was the host with the 'mostess'. He told us of so many wonderful places that we must see, none of which were in our guide-book or in the tourist center. So, I can only recommend — talk to the natives!
Since Javiar's passion is kite-board surfing, he told us we must go to Tarifa, which just happens to be the El Dorado for kite board surfers in the world! Meanwhile we found out that Tarifa is called Europe's wind capital. Due to the Strait of Gibraltar, which forms an ideal wind tunnel, it's blessed with 300 days of wind and sun every year!
Only a two-hour drive from Marbella, Tarifa lies in the most southern point of Europe. When we arrived we were literally blown away – more ways than one!
But what really impressed me were the clear turquoise waves spewing out, in long billowing formations. Gusts of spindrift sprayed from their crests, reminding me of swarming insects gathering in silent dance formations, before spreading into masses of buzzing clouds.
Tarifa is mainly known, though, for its canned Tuna. Maybe you too have opened a tuna can from Tarifa? Every year from March until August, tuna, up to 3 meters in length and 700 kilos in weight, pass through the Straits of Gibraltar to spawning grounds in the Mediterranean. Guess how old Tuna can get! 35 years old! Who would have thought that?
In conclusion, if you like, check out the short slide show with a few more of my impressions of Tarifa.

A most beautiful coastal walk.
As I sit here listening to the ocean roar behind my open terrace doors, I am gratefully soaking my feet in a basin filled with warm water, colored in a golden hue, from the 4 bags of chamomile tea.
What a day! I never knew that Spain has thousands and thousands of miles of gorgeous pedestrian walks along the Andalusian coast line. The walks, a combination of board walks, hard packed sand, and tiled walks — wide enough for 6 cyclists to ride abreast, are dotted with palm trees, beach bars, restaurants, and tapa stands. Between clusters of trees, trickling waterfalls find their way into the hundreds of streams, flowing into the Mediterranean.
Although it seemed like a thousand miles, we walked 'only' about 15 kilometers. That's a lot for me, since I'm not used to walking such distances, and my sore toe didn't help either. The forever changing views of dancing lights reflecting over breaking waves, the peace, friendly faces, and the crisp salty air, spurred me on … causing me to forget that we have to walk back too. Everything is so immaculately clean, shiny, and welcoming… (Is that a word?).
Click on an image below, in order to see a slide show and larger images.
You get the impression that Spain is a rich country, flourishing, and happy.
But…. The other day we walked away from the fancy shore lines, and saw quite another Spain. Slums, poverty, and sad faces. Like in so many tourist areas, unfortunately those who serve the tourists, live in pathetic dwellings. Like in so many tourist areas, the real-estate lords, shovel in the cash, and the service folks, come way too short.
Spain is recovering, slowly but surely, though, from a serious crisis. Everywhere you look you see builders, construction workers, and shops opening. It surely must help that Europeans aren't traveling to Turkey anymore, which allows countries like Spain to profit from the additional stream of tourism.
This is the second addition of our trip to Marbella Spain. Hope you enjoyed it, and if so … let me know. 🙂
Marbella, Spain
Marbella, Spain … this time we aren't in our caravan underway, too many miles (2,400 kilometers or 1,500 miles) from our town in Germany. Besides, driving over snowy mountain passes is no fun with a caravan. But I'm not sure which is worse; we rented a small car with a stick shift. I haven't driven a stick shift for over 30 years…needless to say, the car and I died several deaths, accompanied by wild, clacking, windshield wipers (under the DRY glaring sun) since I couldn't figure out how to turn the darn things off. BUT — we made it. The car is now parked in a terrible underground garage! Yes, a garage with tight corners, low ceilings, steep hills and valleys! Honestly, I'm afraid to take it out … maybe next week….or the week after that?
After a lot of research I found a lovely one bed room apartment with a gorgeous sea view, for a quarter of the normal price, since February is in the off season. …………………..Click for larger image.
You would never think it's off season, though. Cafés and restaurants are full, masses of pedestrians stroll through the ancient city streets of Marbella, and summer time sounds of laughter, balls bouncing along sidewalks, and the smell of suntan lotion overrides perfume scents. The only thing, but a big difference, is that the beaches are almost empty. Not a soul is in the water, and even those who dare dip their toes into receding waves do it only once, to hastily bury their feet back into the warm sand.
The wide pedestrian walks under palm trees, swaying in the almost constant wind, the garlic and grilled fish aromas, and the interesting architecture of the endless high rise buildings, adorned with gigantic balconies and picture windows, confirm that Marbella is a huge tourist magnet. Other than the 'ancient city square', Marbella is modern, and doesn't offer much more culture. But a number of interesting cities are within a good hour's drive, like: Seville, Gilbrator and Malaga. We haven't visited them yet… but plan to. I will be sharing about them as well….if I ever dare drive the rented car out of the hall-of-horrors underground garage.
Want to see more? OH GOOD! Then just click

How to reduce the busy-ness in your business
Like most people, when I start my work day my first instinct is to check my email. I tell myself I'm checking for anything urgent that came in last night that may need immediate attention.

What happened to my goals and my to-do list for the day? How did I get so busy? Read More
What a Brand Should Look for in an Influencer Marketing Partner
Whether or not a business should work with influencers and micro-influencers to promote their brand is a pretty hot topic these days. While there can be many benefits to influencer marketing like reaching a new audience, building backlinks and building a (positive) reputation – there can also be drawbacks. These hidden hindrances can include cost, time to execute and a potential negative effect on your brand reputation if you partner with a certain influencer, so it's important you thoroughly research your potential partner and choose someone that truly fits with your brand's identity.

The Best Inspirational Instagram Business Accounts

Remote Online Notarization (RON) in TexasMay 14, 2020 / RON
Texas was one of the first states to authorize remote online notarization, also known as RON. This process lets commissioned notaries connect with clients online and notarize documents over a live audio-video call. Texas law has permitted online notarizations since July 1, 2018.
Getting authorized to perform online notarizations in Texas is a simple process. The first step is to become a commissioned Texas notary.
Once you have a traditional Texas notary commission, you can visit the Texas secretary of state's website and apply for your online notary commission. To be approved, you'll need to meet some basic requirements.
Benefits of RON for Texas Notaries
With the help of modern technology, the notary industry has evolved. Real-time video conferences over the internet allow people to access notary services without physically meeting a notary in person. This makes the notarization process more convenient and efficient for both notaries and their clients.
One of the greatest benefits of RON is how it simplifies scheduling. You can connect with clients anywhere in the country and schedule online notarizations anytime day or night.
Other benefits of RON include:
- Perform notarizations from the comfort of your home
- Online notarizations are more flexible and efficient
- RON saves time and money by eliminating the need for travel
- Digital identity proofing and credential analysis reduces the risk of fraud
- Digital documents eliminate paperwork and provide an added layer of security
RON speeds up the process for a wide range of notarial acts, including oaths, affirmations and routine real estate and banking transactions.
Requirements for Online Notaries in Texas
Before you can apply to perform online notarizations, you must first become a state approved traditional notary. Notaries.com makes this process simple, but first you need to meet the state requirements.
Traditional notaries in Texas must:
- Be 18 years or older
- Be a legal resident of Texas
- Have no criminal convictions or felonies
- Purchase a $10,000 notary bond
Remote online notaries in Texas must:
- Hold an active Texas notary commission
- Have no convictions for felonies or crimes of moral turpitude
- Have a Digital Certificate with an electronic signature
- Ensure the Digital Certificate meets state requirements
- Be issued by a third-party provider
- Use Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology
- Be X.509 compliant
- Renders any subsequent changes to the document evident
- Have an electronic seal that meets state requirements
In addition to the requirements above, you need to have access to a third-party company called a RON service provider that can perform identity proofing and credential analysis for your clients. These processes confirm the identity of your clients and confirm their documentation is valid.
RON service providers typically provide a platform that you and your clients connect to for the live video conference. They also record and document your video conferences, which helps you meet the state requirement to maintain electronic records of your online notarizations.
How to Apply to Become a Texas Online Notary
You can apply to become a remote online notary 100% online. You will submit your form using the secretary of state's electronic commissioning system.
The steps to getting your online notary commission are listed below. Before you apply, you need to have an active traditional notary commission in the state of Texas.
Step 1: Provide Your Information
You need to have the following information handy for your application:
- Your notary identification number
- Your date of birth
- The last four digits of your Social Security number
- Your last name
- A valid email address
This information must exactly match the info on your active notary commission.
Step 2: Acknowledge State Requirements
All applicants must agree that they:
- Will comply with identity proofing and credential analysis requirements outlined in Texas Administrative Code Chapter 87
- Will use a third-party provider that can prove it uses PKI technology from a X.509-compliant PKI service provider
- Can promptly provide the secretary of state any necessary instructions or techniques supplied for a vendor that allow your digital certificate and seal to be read and authenticated
- Meet all eligibility requirements for traditional notaries
On the application, you need to check a box next to each statement above to confirm that you agree.
Step 3: Sign and Submit the Statement of Officer Form
For this step, you must download the Statement of Officer form and sign it using your digital certificate. Notaries and other elected officials are required to fill out this form, which includes an oath of office and anti-bribery statement.
After you fill out the form, save the file to your computer and upload it to the secretary of state's online notary application system.
Step 4: Upload Your Digital Seal
Texas requires you to upload an electronic seal to the online notary application system. The seal must be provided in one of the following file formats: JPEG, BPM, JPEG, PNG or TIF.
To be valid, your electronic seal must also:
- Contain the words "Notary Public, State of Texas" around a star with five points
- State your name
- State your notary identifying number
- Include the date your commission expires
- Be a circular form no more than one inch in width and 2 ½ inches in length
- Have a serrated or milled edge border
Once you upload your seal, it will appear on the screen.
Step 5: Pay the State Application Fee
Texas charges an application fee of $50 plus a 2.7% convenience fee. You're required to pay using a credit card.
Step 6: Review and Submit Your Application
After you enter your credit card number, you'll see a summary of all the information you've entered so far. Before you click "Submit My Application," review your information and confirm that everything is accurate.
Once you submit the application, you'll receive a notary application number for future reference. You will also receive a confirmation email.
It typically takes three business days to receive a response from the state about your online notary application. If you do not receive a response in this time, you can contact the Texas secretary of state's office at 512-463-5705.
What Is a RON Service Provider?
A RON service provider is a third-party provider that handles the support and technology side of remote online notarizations. These software companies typically provide a variety of important services to online notaries, including:
- Desktop or smartphone applications that connect the notary and clients
- Advanced identity proofing and credential analysis
- Technology that launches, captures and stores audio-video recordings
- Long-term storage for audio-video recordings and digital documents
- A platform for collecting payment from the client
Every provider is different when it comes to services and prices. But, with a little research, you can find the one that best fits your specific needs. Texas requires online notaries to provide the name of the RON service provider they use.
You are free to change your provider at any time, but you need to update the state as soon as you make the switch.
Procedures for Remote Online Notarizations in Texas
State-registered online notaries can legally perform online notarizations over audio-video conferences, but they must follow specific procedures for RON outlined in Texas law. First, you must be in Texas when you perform an online notarization. But your client can be located anywhere.
The notary cannot revise any part of the document other than the section containing the notarial certificate. An online notarization might require you to return a document to the client to fix incorrect information or make other modifications.
According to Texas law, online notaries must ensure that their electronic signature remains valid and up to date. And they must use the electronic signature only to perform online notarizations. Traditional face-to-face notarizations require a handwritten signature on the notarial certificate.
Online notaries in Texas must also keep a record of every RON they perform. This includes a video recording of the entire online notarization and a notation showing the type of identification used to confirm the signer's identity.
Notaries.com makes it simple to get your Texas notary commission and take the first step toward becoming an online notary. Get started today and experience the convenience and efficiency that RON provides.

The CEO of the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications, Mr Ken Ashigbey, has asked the Ghanaian public to desist from abusing internet data during the lockdown period following the outbreak of the coronavirus in Ghana.
In a statement, Mr Ashigbey urged the public to adopt responsible internet etiquette and avoid the use of online entertainment services during digital traffic rush-hours, that is between 9:00am and 11:00am and 7:00pm -11:00pm.
The statement explained that this will enable the services providers meet the high demand during this period.
"The optimum and seamless operation of telecommunications and emergency services during this period; which has seen increased voice, data and mobile financial services usage.
"We believe turning off background applications when not in use, and taking advantage of collaborative teamwork platforms and technologies with colleagues and not exclusively using dedicated video applications, will also help in the rational use of the internet," the statement said.
It also encouraged the public to "avoid making unnecessary video calls, not only during rush hours; but also at all times, adopt Cloud Services for document storage, digital signage, and download only the files necessary to your computer.
"If it is possible, send a link to the file's location as opposed to attaching the file itself."

SAN JOSE, CA — April 20, 2020 — FICO, a global analytics leader, announced today that its FICO® Cyber Risk Score continues to see significant momentum in the cyber insurance marketplace with strong growth and new customers in 2020. The FICO® Cyber Risk Score is the industry's most accurate cyber risk score in the market, providing clear transparency for underwriting and helping drive better business decisions.
Volante Global, Tarian Underwriting Limited, and RLI Insurance Company join a growing list of global insurance carriers currently leveraging the FICO® Cyber Risk Score for underwriting, portfolio management, risk aggregation, modeling and pricing.
The FICO® Cyber Risk Score has also been recently nominated by the cyber insurance industry for Advisen's Cyber Risk Model of the Year. In addition, Chartis Research named FICO as a category leader in cyber risk quantification in the Cyber Risk Quantification Solutions, 2019: Market and Vendor Landscape report.
"FICO has become the trusted name in cyber risk scoring in the insurance marketplace and we are pleased to work with industry leaders," said Julie May, vice president, cyber security solutions, FICO. "The FICO Cyber Risk Score gives cyber insurance underwriters the ability to measure cyber risk for an individual insured, or in aggregate across their entire book or segments of their book of business. With integrated workflows and dashboards, insurers are actively engaging their customers and prospects in the cyber risk assessment process, bringing transparency to cyber risk measurement."
While the cyber insurance marketplace continues to experience rapid growth with projections of the market reaching US$ 10B by 2025, models for underwriting cyber insurance have remained relatively unreliable due to the evolving cyber landscape. Insurers are also faced with an increasingly stringent regulatory environment with the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe. FICO delivers an empirical solution, bringing science to the challenge of managing cyber risk to help insurers grow their book of business. The FICO® Cyber Risk Score is the only score that provides a predictive, forward-looking assessment of cyber risk, leveraging a behavior-based, data-driven and empirical method to measure cyber risk.
To check out the 2020 Cyber Risk Award nominees and cast a vote for the FICO® Cyber Risk Score visit.
