You seem to have an online store and have big plans. You got a snazzy online store, you have started promoting it and business is coming in. Times are good. Congratulations!

By the way, who is maintaining your website? Anyone?

Ecommerce – Online Store Maintenance Specialists – Saint Petersburg, Russia

After hosting an online store, it is important to maintain it. Updating different segments on the store is an effective way of making your site look new to shoppers. Sites that are poorly maintained look outdated and untidy to customers, and therefore reduce their selling potential. Online store maintenance has to be part of your ecommerce strategy yet many merchants ignore it – quote often to the detriment of their business.

Benefits of Online Store Maintenance:

Site Security:

Regular updates of themes and plugins fight security attacks from hackers, scammers, viruses and many other nefarious entities. When you do routine maintenance of your store, you will be aware of possible threats and dangers, and take preventative measures beforehand.

A single breach can cause theft of confidential customer data, that in turn creates legal issues and also customers lose confidence in the business.

SEO maintenance:

Store maintenance should also include periodic SEO revitalization. Maintaining SEO through regular updates is necessary to maintain your ranking in search engines. Through regular maintenance, research new keywords and add them to your search term lists to improve internet accessibility. And don’t forget to adjust your SEO for voice based searches.

Regular maintenance should also include your social media sites, their integration with the website and making sure current content is posted regularly on the social properties of the company.

Increased Site Functionalities and User Friendliness:

Online shoppers are taking a risk when they go shopping and if for any reason they don’t feel secure, or they don’t see the information that they need or the shopping cart is too complicated, they abandon the site and go elsewhere. Abandoned shopping carts is a big issue for online merchants and one way of minimizing abandoned carts is to constantly monitor your online store and ensure that everything is working.

Some small business owners wonder why they need to maintain their store when it was working just fine 6 months ago. The reason is that the underlying software changes, the plugins change, the operating system changes and there are new security threats. If you don’t update regularly, soon you will have some sections of the webstore that no longer function. You may not know and be losing sales.

Upload Products to Marketplaces like Walmart, Amazon, Ebay, Google Shopping etc:

The more people see your products, the better your chances of making a sale. That is why savvy merchants list their products on marketplaces like Walmart, Amazon, Ebay, Google Shopping etc. However; unless you just have a handful of products, it becomes very difficult to manage and synchronize inventory across all these marketplaces. If you don’t, you may end up cancelling orders and that lowers your ratings. A good ecommerce specialist will help you use services like UploadMyProducts.com to upload inventory in bulk and synchronize across multiple marketplaces.

Room To Add New Opportunities:

You should have an ongoing relationship with a webmaster so you can add new functions and features as new opportunities arise. When you have an ongoing relationship, the web master has a vested interest in the company’s success and will be more than eager to explore new opportunities.

Who can help you with online Store Maintenance?

We can. At interloperInc.com, we specialize in small business online stores and can help you with routine maintenance, enhancements, SEO and CRM. Let’s talk.

Switzerland, the country known for its rich culture and traditions welcomed their favourite traveller actor Ranveer Singh back, in a grand way. The actor was completely immersed in Swissness the moment he landed in Zurich. Ranveer, who is the first Indian ambassador for Switzerland Tourism, will be visiting the Lake Geneva region. “Switzerland… It’s my kind of country! No matter how many times you visit, there’s always something new to explore. This time around I’m visiting the Lake Geneva region… This part of Switzerland is quite a hidden gem that I can’t wait to discover,” Ranveer said in a statement.

The region includes the Montreux also called “the pearl of Swiss Riviera”, Lausanne — the Olympic capital, surrounded by vineyards, a trio of hills rolling down to the lake and a medieval cathedral; and Lavaux, a Unesco world heritage site. The welcome party greeted him in typical Swiss Tradition, with the warm sounds of the traditional Alphorn while the choirs yodelled away! The ever so magnetic Ranveer Singh could not help but try out the Swiss instrument himself. We can’t wait to see what comes next!

Here are some pictures and videos of Ranveer Singh in Switzerland:

An MCU Masterclass For Everyone Before They Watch 'Infinity War' & No, There Are No Spoilers

Celebrities

Apr 262018

Yes, I know we’re kind of late with this article, but we were a little too busy covering every other news and memes related to ‘Avengers: Infinity War’.

But, better late than never, amirite?

Okay, so here we go. I’m assuming that whoever is reading this didn’t watch the first day first show of the greatest movie of this year, or probably this decade. This would be just a recap of all the movies and everything we’re expecting from the most anticipated movie by Marvel, ever.

With the movie being of just 160 minutes and 76 main characters (is this some sort of world record for having the most number of main characters?), so yeah, there will be a lot to unpack in the movie itself, so it’ll help to be prepared. It’s always good to be prepared.

All You Need To Know Before Watching 'Infinity War'

Let’s begin this MCU masterclass.

First and the most important thing that we need to discuss – What the hell is Thanos’ deal?

After his first appearance in ‘The Avengers’ in 2012, Thanos has mostly lurked in the shadows for the most part, for most of the movies, until now. As everyone knows, he’s the main antagonist of ‘Infinity War’.

The character brought to life by Josh Brolin had been described as “an amoral philosopher. He’s not the Devil, although he sometimes has the devil standing next to him.”

All You Need To Know Before Watching 'Infinity War'

He’s known to his followers as Dark Lord and to his enemies as the Mad Titan and he also controls Black Order, which is made up of Proxima Midnight, Cull Obsidian, Corvus Glaive and Ebony Maw.

Now, let’s talk about his previous appearances. In 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, he joined forces with Ronan the Accuser, but was then betrayed because he just wanted to use the Power Stone to his own advantage.

Then, in 2015’s ‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’, Thanos has an uncredited appearance in a post-credits scene. So basically, here’s where Thanos has decided to apparently stop hiring minions to do his bidding, saying, with his hand in the Infinity Gauntlet, “Fine. I’ll do it myself”. I’m pretty sure it’s clear, but if Thanos acquires all six Infinity Stones, he will become the most powerful man in the universe.

All You Need To Know Before Watching 'Infinity War'

Speaking of the Infinity Stones, here’s an explanation of what they are exactly and where all of them are. Yes, we have all been joking about the ‘rainbow rocks’ that this purple alien is doing anything and everything to find, but here’s why Thanos is so adamant to collect them.

First, there’s the Space Stone, or Tesseract, which, as the name suggests, controls space and creates portals. It was last seen with Loki, as he stole it from his late father’s vault at the end of 2017’s ‘Thor: Ragnarok’.

The Mind Stone instils powers and can be used for mind control.

Now, let’s come to the Reality Stone, or Aether, which is a liquid with destructive properties. Remember how that infected Jane Foster in 2013’s ‘Thor: The Dark World’. Now, it is with the Collector.

The Power Stone is a big one as it can annihilate anyone who touches it and level an entire planet. That sounds bad, just imagine it in action. Currently, it’s with the Nova Corps, given to them for safekeeping by ‘Guradians Of The Galaxy’ after they took it from Ronan.

The Time Stone is what was used to trap Dormammu, an evil inter-dimensional entity, in a loop in 2016’s ‘Doctor Strange’. Right now, it’s with Doctor Strange himself, as he wears it around his neck.

All You Need To Know Before Watching 'Infinity War'

Okay, we’re down to the last one and the most mysterious one. The Soul Stone has not yet made its debut in the MCU and its location is also unknown. So, we just have to watch ‘Infinity War’ to find out more about this stone.

In case you don’t have the time to binge watch every movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, here’s a little recap with the main highlight from each movie.

Iron Man (2008) – The movie that started it all! It was pretty smart of Marvel to start off the franchise with Robert Downey Jr, because who will not love him.

All You Need To Know Before Watching 'Infinity War'

The Incredible Hulk (2008) – The highlight of this one is Tony Stark aka Iron Man briefly showing up and hinting at forming a team.

Iron Man 2 (2010) – Not a fan favourite sequel, but hey, it did introduce us to the character of Black Widow.

Thor (2011) – This movie marked the first appearance of Loki

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) – This movie laid some groundwork for the first Avengers movie that would come out the following year, and it also introduced us to Bucky Barnes. But, the main part is that this movie is the first one where we saw the first Infinity Stone, the Space one, in the form of a glowing blue cube called the Tesseract.

All You Need To Know Before Watching 'Infinity War'

The Avengers (2012) – Now, this one was Thanos’ debut as he appeared in a post-credits stinger scene.

Iron Man 3 (2013) – Fans actually loved this sequel.

Thor: The Dark World (2013) – This movie introduces us to the Reality stone in the form of red goo, which was given to The Collector and is assumed till now that he has it still.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) – This one introduces us to the character of Falcon and also marks the return of Bucky, who resurrects as a super assassin known as the Winter Soldier.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) – Now, this is the first movie to give us a lot of insight about Thanos.

All You Need To Know Before Watching 'Infinity War'

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) – This movie acts as an introduction to Scarlet Witch and Vision, with Vision being created by the Infinity stone from Loki’s scepter and an Iron Man suit.

Ant-Man (2015) – Well, this one has Paul Rudd!

Captain America: Civil War (2016) – After all the damage done in the last Avengers movie, this one shows the government wanting to establish the Sokovia Accords to keep the Avengers under U.N. oversight. While Iron Man likes this idea, Captain America doesn’t. This is also T’Challa aka Black Panther’s first appearance.

Doctor Strange (2016) – An origin story that basically introduces us to the Time stone.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) – Well, this is Tom Holland’s big debut as Spider Man.

Thor: Ragnarok (2017) – In this hilarious movie, we meet Valkyrie, who will also pop up in Infinity War.

All You Need To Know Before Watching 'Infinity War'

Black Panther (2018) – I guess this one is still fresh in everyone’s mind so don’t even need to recap it.

Wow, that was a lot of movies. I’m going to end this somewhat educational journey about the Marvel Cinematic Universe by saying that everyone should be prepared for some deaths in ‘Infinity War’; we’ve known for a long time we’ll be losing some people, but if you’re still in denial, it’s finally time to face it.

Avengers: Infinity War Is Not A Marvel Movie So Stop Expecting Happiness

Celebrities

Apr 262018

It’s 2 am and I just got home from Avengers: Infinity War. Is it a masterclass in filmmaking? Yes. Is it worth a watch? Of course. Is it a Marvel movie? Hell no!

Now, you’ve probably already booked your tickets (if you haven’t, come on man, do it already) and I don’t want this review to influence your decision whether to watch this movie or not. So, before you read any further, if you haven’t already, book your damn tickets!

With so many people to satisfy, Avengers: Infinity War was in danger of becoming a movie that tried pleasing too many people while ending up pleasing none. Luckily, it ended up pleasing us in the most dastardly way possible.

Okay now, in terms of what to expect. Just like you would from any Marvel movie, you want some main characters, a few sub plots here and there and a bad guy with an evil plan. But no, Marvel fan! That’s not what you’re getting here. While every Marvel movie to date has been made to, sort of, pander to the audience, Avengers: Infinity War doesn’t. Not one bit. In fact, you will walk out of the cinema hall wondering if the movie you just saw was indeed a Marvel movie.

There’s no easy way of putting this folks, Marvel just ripped everyone off. They didn’t deliver what was expected of them. I didn’t walk out with a huge smile plastered on my face. I didn’t feel the rush of adrenaline. Where was it? Did I do something wrong? What’s missing? And then it hit me. Hope.

Yeah, the one word I can use to describe everything that’s wrong with Avengers: Infinity War is, hope. How do you know a movie is a huge success? When it earns a billion dollars? No, it’s when it breaks free from the monotonous happy ending we are accustomed to getting at the end and offers something much darker instead. A world where there is no hope.

When was the last time you watched a brilliant movie yet felt absolutely nothing at the end of it? I can’t think of an emotion that could aptly describe the way I feel right now. No, I don’t hate Marvel. This is a brilliant movie. But, I guess that’s its biggest flaw too.

I’ll let you in on a little secret. I cried tears of joy when I watched the final trailer for the movie. But, I didn’t shed a single tear throughout the movie. Didn’t even come close. Was it because not enough characters die? Was it because no on consequential dies? Was it because we’re too detached from the plot to care? No. It’s simply because we were sent so deep down the rabbit hole we ended up face to face with the sad truth, everything is finite. All good things must, eventually, come to an end.

Yes, Marvel fan. They may be talking about a Phase IV and all the cool stuff that they’re going to be doing over the next few years. But, if this is any indication of what’s to come, get ready for a universe where happy endings are as scarce as the hair on Homer Simpson’s head.

There’s no need to start questioning whether booking those tickets was a mistake. Avengers: Infinity War is a must watch for any person who has invested the last 10 years of their life into this series. Hell, you may even have a totally different opinion about it.

Am I going to watch every other Marvel movie ever made? Of course. Will I rewatch Avengers: Infinity War? Yeah, I’m going on Saturday. Is it the greatest crossover event in history? Yup. But, and I ask this question again, is it a Marvel movie? No.

'Talvar 2' To Be Based On Gurugram Murder Case & We're Already Looking Forward To This Thriller

Celebrities

Apr 262018

After the massive success of ‘Talvar’, which was based on the sensational Arushi Talwar murder case, the makers are eyeing the second installment. Irrfan Khan’s intense performance and Meghna Gulzar’s direction created a wave in India in ‘Talvar’. In fact, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that somewhere the movie did make an impact on the verdict of the case.

Based on the 2008 murder, ‘Talvar’ was a story of 14-year-old Aarushi and her domestic help Hemraj who were found dead, which formed the main angle of various sub-plots of the crime. This incident has been in news over the years. The trial of the case led to the life sentence of Aarushi’s dentist parents – Rajesh Talwar and Nupur Talwar. However, in 2017 the Allahabad High Court acquitted the parents after nine-long years.

Converting it into a franchise, now we have ‘Talvar 2’ in the works. Written and directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, the movie will be based on the Gurugram school murder case. A mention of it still sends shivers down the spine.

The premises of the screenplay will revolve around a 7-year-old who was brutally killed in the premises of the school and the prime accused was a school senior. This incident took place last September at Ryan International School, Gurugram where Pradyuman Thakur, a class 2 student was found dead with his throat slit inside the restroom.

Talking about the film to a leading daily, Vishal Bhardwaj said “Talvar was about much more than the heinous crime itself, the film held up a mirror to society and exposed several loopholes in the system. Such crimes shake the very moral fabric of society and need to be analysed in a much deeper sense. The world is not just black and white, there’s more to a crime than just victim and perpetrator. That’s why we have decided to continue making true crime procedurals like Talvar.

“Our journey on Talwars more than just a film for us. It is a telling example of how big screen stories, when handled honestly and sensitively, have the power to alter the lives of people associated with the real incident. We are excited to embark on our vision of compelling storytelling, yet again with Vishal Bharadwaj, and taking the Talvar franchise forward,” told Priti Shahani, from Junglee Pictures to TOI.

‘Talvar’ was shot in a Rashomon-esque storytelling pattern where the incident was shown again and again from different perspectives, leaving an open platform for viewers to decide whom they should believe.

And now with Vishal helming ‘Talvar 2’, we are already looking forward to the film.

The Avengers Have A Message For Everyone Who Loves Spreading Spoilers: Don't Be A Tom Or A Mark

Celebrities

Apr 262018

‘Say no to spoilers’ – it’s not a hard concept to understand. But, some people have a hard time grasping this and they don’t realize how much spoilers about a movie or a TV show can affect someone if they had been waiting for a really long time to watch it. As I’m writing this, I witnessed a real-life after-effect of a spoiler in my office as someone had an almost breakdown after reading something about ‘Avengers: Infinity War’.

The movie has still not released and if you’re one of those lucky bastards, please refrain from telling everyone what happens. People have been waiting for 10 years for the movie of the decade and if you like giving spoilers to people just to mess with everyone, then you’re the worst kind of person, tbh.

Marvel Released A PSA To Stop People From Giving Spoilers About 'Avengers: Infinity War'

Everyone might have been considering just taking a break from social media till they watch ‘Infinity War’, which is quite understandable, but it turns out there’s someone who hates spoilers than all of us and that’s Marvel, of course. After so much hype and anticipation, they don’t want anyone’s experience watching the movie for the first time to be ruined.

To make sure every Marvel fan enjoys the movie, Marvel released a PSA and it’s pretty hilarious.

It’s staged as if all the actors are being held in an interrogation room and being questioned separately so that they’ll leak the plot. But no, it’s as if all these superheroes have the superpower for resisting as well.

Only, if they had gotten Jake Peralta to irritate them so much they would have been so sick of it that they’ll just break.

Marvel Released A PSA To Stop People From Giving Spoilers About 'Avengers: Infinity War'

People who give out spoilers are such sadists that they wouldn’t care about anyone else. But, if their favourite actor comes and tells them, maybe that will make a difference. After all, who can say no to Chris Evans for anything, ever. No one can resist him.

Let’s look at it from another way. Imagine being part of the biggest movie franchise ever and then you can’t even talk about it until it comes out. Now, imagine how hard it must have been for all of these actors to contain their excitement and not tell everyone what happens. If they can do it, you can too. Follow their example. Maybe, except for Tom Holland or Mark Ruffalo.

Another special mention is required: Marvel literally put a tape on Tom Holland’s mouth because they know he’s the weakest link. It’s okay, Tommy, you made it without giving anything away, we’re so proud of you.

Here’s the whole PSA and don’t forget that Thanos demands your silence.
