downtoretail, that image is very difficult to interpret. You should consider posting a couple of better once. right now it looks like your EMI shields got discolored from some heat. I suggest that you remove it and take a look on how many bad/destroyed components you will find under there.
Wow! Thankyou so much for actually replying - it really means a lot!
I'll google how to do that, thankyou!
The area with the vent holes is where you have your backlight driver as well as your memory IC's. So you definitely need to take a closer look under the shielding.

As you create an estate plan, you may come to find that you have to share your thoughts, goals and other important information with your loved ones. For example, parents often have a conversation with their adult children. Just the same, you may find yourself discussing the finer details of your estate plan with your spouse.

Matters of child custody can be difficult for families to work through. When Florida parents cannot agree to custodial arrangements that serve the needs and interests of their kids and fit into their schedules, the courts may intervene to decide where the kids should live.

Property division during divorce can be overwhelming, especially if the parties do not know what to expect. It can be even more complex in circumstances of a divorce between spouses with a high net worth.
On behalf of Messer & Messer Law Offices posted in child support on Thursday, August 23, 2018.
Florida courts may look at many forms of income when deciding how much support parents should have to pay for the benefit of their children. They may evaluate the parents' salaries, bonuses, and benefits, as well as their income from investments, dividends, royalties, and pensions. These are only some of the ways individuals can collect money and, when it comes to supporting their children, Florida parents should expect to provide them with what they need.

A divorce can be a financial nightmare. Even those with high incomes and significant assets may find it difficult transitioning from a marital relationship into a single lifestyle. At least one of the spouses will likely have to find a new place to live, and both will have to make ends meet without the combined income of two earners.

There are different types of child custody that parents in Florida should be familiar with if they have child custody concerns. Parents may have questions about what exactly the different types of child custody are and how they may impact their child custody arrangement.

One of the most miraculous things that a Florida parent can experience is the development of their child. While different kids reach milestones at different times, parents often wonder at the major changes their children undergo between their first few weeks of life and their transitions into adulthood.

Florida residents who intend to divorce must often weigh significant emotional and financial factors. Soon, some of the financial matters that they felt confident about may be changing. In fact, in 2019, certain tax implications relating to alimony and prenuptial agreements could introduce uncertainty into the divorce process.

Police: teen mother, infant among six dead in possible cartel massacre
It appears family was "targeted," law enforcement says.
By Just the News staff
Updated: January 17, 2023 - 11:49am
said in a Facebook post
Law enforcement in California this week are investigating a brutal massacre in the town of Goshen that claimed the lives of half a dozen people, including a 17-year-old mother and her 6-month-old infant, as part of what may be cartel-linked violence.
The Tulare County Sheriff's Department said in a Facebook post that they found "six total victims" at the small Goshen home when responding to early-morning reports of gunfire.
"The victims include a 17-year-old mother and her six-month-old baby," the department said.
"Detectives believe there are at least two suspects and this is not a random act of violence," the sheriff's department said.. "It appears this family was targeted and there are gang associations involved, as well as potential drug investigations."
Goshen is located around halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, a little over 100 miles from the Pacific coast.

Endure trials for the sake of discipline. God is treating you as children; for what child is there whom a parent does not discipline? Now, discipline always seems painful rather than pleasant at the time, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed. Pursue peace with everyone, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springs up and causes trouble, and through it many become defiled.
Every parent knows tough love is sometimes the best way to truly care for a child who is headed in the wrong direction. While it is hard for the child, it is certainly just as hard for the parent. Yet the heartache caused is a small cost when change comes about.
In his rules for the discernment of spirits during the first week of the Spiritual Exercises, St. Ignatius notes that God works with those truly seeking him by encouraging, consoling and inspiring (tender loving care). On the other hand, for those caught up in a life of sin, God induces the sting of conscience, remorse, and agitation for change (tough love). Even for those truly seeking God, there may be areas of life in which sin does prevail.
Are there areas in my life where God is working for change through the sting of conscience, remorse, and agitation?
Lord, help us hold to follow the divine insights of St. Ignatius and to trust in your everlasting presence in our lives.

In the 18th century, Maisons fell to René de Longueil's grandson, Jean-René. He transformed a room into a chemistry laboratory (he get here a lovely Prussian blue) and a garden for rare plants: the tradition says that he planted the "only coffee who succeeded in growing in France"! He also hosted famous people. Like Voltaire, in 1723.
Whoa, this one immediately fell sick (smallpox) and nearly died. He wrote his will, called the priest by his side, but the doctor cured him with litres and litres of lemonade! Then he decided to leave Maisons. No sooner as he left his room, the floor started to burn: the downstairs apartments were completely in fire!

Uber Dash Cam Catches Cop Lying to Write a Ticket, Forces Him to Fess Up to the Scam
September 15, 2017 Police State, U.S.
Los Angeles, CA — An Uber driver in Los Angeles got a taste of revenue collection at its finest—or worse, depending on how you look at it—when he was illegally targetted by a police officer to be issued a ticket. Luckily for this driver, however, he was recording with his dash camera and it caught the officer in a bold faced lie.
By: Matt Agorist
This article first appeared at FreeThoughtProject
The video is from an Uber driver named Derrick who was picking up a fare at LAX when he was pegged by an airport police officer as an easy mark.
The video starts as Derrick is driving up to the airport. When he gets to the proper pickup location—like everyone who picks up someone at the airport—he pulled in, put his car in park, and looked for the person he was picking up.
At 1:07 in the video, Derrick's car comes to a complete stop. Just 48 seconds go by before the officer makes the move to extort Derrick. He had not even been stopped for one minute, yet this officer was going to write a ticket.
How can the officer justify writing a ticket to someone who just pulled into the spot, you ask? He'll have to lie, naturally.
As the officer approaches Derrick's window to begin the extortion process, he makes the false assertion that Derrick has been parked in this spot for "eight or nine minutes."
"May I ask why you need my driver's license?" asks Derrick.
"Because I am going to issue you a citation for waiting," the officer says. The only problem was that Derrick had not been waiting.
Derrick tells the officer that he literally just pulled up. However, the officer could not have cared less. The officer was not going to back down from his asinine claim that Derrick had been there for eight or nine minutes.
The cop also couldn't have cared less about the innocent woman caught in the middle of his extortion racket who was being held up for nothing other than a ticket for the purpose of revenue collection.
"Why are you writing me a ticket, I don't want to have to go to court," Derrick says before the cop cuts him off. "There is no court," replies the officer.
"I feel like this is a money grab," Derrick tells the officer, and he was right.
"I just wanna do my job and send you on your way," the cops said, likely knowing that if he doesn't write 50 of those tickets a day he'll either be demoted or denied over time.
However, once it becomes known that Derrick was recording this entire time, the officer has a change of heart.
"By the way officer, I am recording this entire thing," Derrick says, revealing to the cop that his entire scheme had just been documented on video.
Once he realizes that his illegal citation was now caught on video, the officer then changed his tone, immediately.
"Are you gonna not write the ticket if I show it to you?" asks Derrick, who now has the upper hand.
"If you show it to me and it shows I'm making a mistake, then I won't write the citation," says the officer.
The video then ends and we can only assume that the officer did not write Derrick a ticket. Below is a video showing the power of recording cops as well as how cops are here to extort citizens.
Derrick pulls up to the airport around the 1:00 minute mark.
Police extortion in the US has reached epic proportions. It has gotten so bad that the Canadian government has issued a public service announcement for its citizens warning them that American Road Pirates, aka police officers, may very well rob them upon entry into the US.
Since September 2001 there have been 62,000 incidents of road piracy; resulting in a booty of over $2.5 billion, and that's just civil asset forfeiture.
Consequently, none of those 62,000 cases include revenue generated from arbitrary traffic 'laws' for victimless crimes, like the one Derrick was being extorted for. The total number of people who receive speeding tickets only, is 41,000,000 a year with an average cost of $152.00 each. That is 1 in every 5 licensed drivers in the US.
The total number of speeding tickets paid each year $6,232,000,000 which breaks down to around $300,000 generated per police officer for speeding alone. Tack on seat belt violations, license plate lights, window tint, rolling stop signs, and expired state-mandated documents and that number sky rockets.
It is literally highway robbery conducted on behalf of the ones who claim to keep us "safe."

Kaia Jordan Gerber, Cindy Crawford's daughter, is the new face of Penshoppe
Penshoppe unveiled their newest ambassador on Friday—Kaia Jordan Gerber, Cindy Crawford's daughter, who is making a name for herself in fashion and entertainment.At a young age, the 15-year-old is the face of Marc Jacobs Beauty and has graced the covers of Love, Pop, Vogue Paris and done campaigns for Miu Miu, Alexander Wang.
The campaign was shot in Downtown LA and behind the lens was Taylor Tupy, a young photographer recommended by Kaia's family. "Kaia is good friends with Taylor. He really knows what to motivate her," Jeff said. "There was good energy, good vibes on the set."
"This year is all about making bold moves. We wanted to change it up a bit. We wanted someone who resonates fashion. Someone very fresh. We believe in her. We believe she is going to be a big it-girl in the industry," Penshoppe Brand Director Jeff Bascon told Super after flying back from the shoot.
Everyone—from the production manager to the makeup artist—couldn't stop remarking about how much Kaia looks like her supermodel mom. "They kept saying, 'She looks exactly like Cindy, she sounds exactly like Cindy.'"
Jeff enjoyed working with Kaia. "It was exciting. She's very pleasant and she's a really pretty girl."
Kaia arrived at the shoot "raring to go." "I don't know how she does it. At a very young age, she moves very effortlessly," Jeff said.
But away from the camera, Kaia was just a regular girl. "It was cool. It was very refreshing to see someone like her who is obviously starting to be very big, be very grounded."
Kaia kept clothes from the shoot, pieces from Penshoppe's new Denimlab collection which is already in stores. The collection features a fun mix of tops and bottoms. "We have even better fit now," said Jeff. "We're on a constant quest for betterment. We're obsessed with developing and improving our craft and our products."
During down time, Jeff had the chance to talk to Kaia about the Philippines. "We were talking about the beaches, she was looking at my Palawan photos and she kept saying, 'I wanna go, I wanna go,'" said Jeff.
But for now, fans will get to see Kaia on billboards, on social media and in Penshoppe's stores in the Philippines and abroad. "Kaia will be seen everywhere," said Jeff.

Christmas Blood / Alien Raiders
Whether Christmas is a religious holiday for us, or just a way to celebrate giving, or whatever, we can all agree that it's mainly about trying to find more movies we haven't seen that are about a killer Santa or some shit. That's the true and sole meaning of Christmas, is what it says quite clearly in the Bible, and if you don't believe me I challenge you to tell me which verses it's not in. You can't do it, can you? Case closed. Anyway the point is this year I saw CHRISTMAS BLOODY CHRISTMAS but for those of you who would prefer to have the same title but shorter there's also CHRISTMAS BLOOD (Juelblod), a Norwegian one from 2017.
IMDb lists it as a horror comedy. It really doesn't read as one to me, but maybe it's an exceedingly dry sense of humor – there is certainly some absurdity to it, which is what I liked about it. It's very openly a Santa Claus version of HALLOWEEN. It opens in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve, 2011, when a little girl and her parents get killed by a guy dressed as Santa. The police show up in time to shoot the Santa, and Detective Thomas Rasch (Stig Henrik Hoff, THE THING premaquel), who's been chasing this guy for 13 years, unloads his gun into him while he's down.
A series of title cards during the credits tell us he's been committing Christmas Eve murders since 1998, when he left a naughty list of 324 future victims – all people mentioned in the media for breaking the law. By the time Rasch shot him in 2011 he'd killed 121 people from the list. (Prolific!) Oh well, good things he's dead now, now everybody can breathe a sigh of—
No, 'cause then we get a "Somehow Palpatine returned" type maneuver:
And then it says that in 2016 the Santa (they never say what his real name is; privacy policy, I guess) escapes. A new detective, Terje Hansen (Sondre Krogtoft Larsen, MAX MANUS: MAN OF WAR), tries to track him down, and tries to recruit washed up, off the force, enjoying his alcohol Rasch for his expertise. I like that he has a more Santa-like beard and belly now (though grizzled and broody). He refuses the call at first, but then shows up at headquarters wearing shades and dipping a gingerbread man into Hansen's coffee.
Meanwhile we get our A story about a group of college friends from Australia coming to Norway to visit their friend Julie (Marte Saeteren, PANDEMONIC) for Christmas. She's mourning her mother, who recently committed suicide, having never gotten over the guilt of a car accident that killed a child. Later we'll learn that criminal liability for the accident put her mother on Santa's list, so the house is one of his destinations.
Lately in the world of horror I've noticed a trend toward female protagonists who are intentionally flawed and/or into partying, but still very relatable and easy to root for. I really like this because women deserve more fun characters to play and also because it's a refutation of the old sex & drugs = death slasher formula. It acknowledges that actually those things can be fun and not bad and when they are who cares – they're not sins worthy of death. These days you can still be a horror hero after you slept with a guy you didn't know very well or got addicted to pills or whatever. It's as if they reformed a policy where you had to take a drug test to get hired somewhere. I get excited about that and then I read other people talking about the same movies and they just say it's bad writing and unlikable characters and they hated them and couldn't wait to see them die. Oh well.
But in this case I would get it. I didn't want to see these characters die, but I quickly found them insufferable. They should be having a fun time out in the snow with their old friends but they immediately start sniping about stupid shit. And it's an eyebrow raiser that the only Black character in the movie, Ritika (Haddy Jallow), keeps being in the wrong about every single thing, and showing no remorse. She smokes weed in the house after being told not to. They seem like they're being unfair about her having a past with Julie's boyfriend who's there, but then she sleeps with him in the house! She's just a huge asshole, and not in a fun way. Not that any of the others are much more interesting.
There is a cool thing that one of the friends, Annika (Kylie Stephenson) is deaf, but is truly treated as equal – just one member of the group, not separated out as a person who's in more danger than the others. She makes a poor choice in having sex with one of the gross weirdo dudes they summon to the house using Tinder, and that's okay. She could definitely do better and she soon realizes it and tells him off. The Tinder guys are a good inclusion though because they're skeezy in a very intentional way – characters we can enjoy seeing Santa Claus stick an ax in and raise to the ceiling. (Unfortunately there are only a couple outrageous kills like that. You don't really see him do much.)
This is a good setting for a Christmas horror movie because there's real snow everywhere and it's the time of year when it's dark all day, which causes a very unsettling feeling. It always seems like night, but it's actually day unless most of the lights are turned off. (Some of those scenes are too dark, though, in my opinion, and I'm not as quick to use that complaint as some.)
So the better parts of the movie are the investigation. The Loomis part, in other words. It's also the grossest part because CHRISTMAS BLOOD pushes the "coroner is so desensitized he casually eats around dead bodies" cliche to the breaking point by having him move a plate of bloody innards and then grab an English muffin piled high with shrimp. As he starts scarfing it down the frame is shared with the graphic display of an autopsied woman's genitalia, and then he repeatedly says "mmmmmm" about his snack. Then (here's where it's definitely too much, in my opinion) he drips some of the shrimp on the body, so he wipes it up with his finger and licks it off his finger. And Hansen sees that and runs outside and pukes. So that was the death of the coroner eating a sandwich trope. R.I.P.
As the detectives try to check on everybody from the naughty list who's still alive, they find bodies around town, and in maybe the best piece of ridiculousness they're looking at a map and realize that the murder sites form the shape of a Christmas tree, with the house where the friends are staying as the star on top. Now that's a psycho who plans ahead.
The writer/director of CHRISTMAS BLOOD is named Reinert Kiil. Looking him up on IMDb I first noticed he was younger than me, then noticed that he died last year. I couldn't find any other information about that, but RIP if it's true. IMDb also lists "Always drunk in interviews" as one of his trademarks.
Despite many weaknesses as a slasher movie I do think it's good looking and more watchable than many of the no-name Christmas horror movies I've encountered. It doesn't seem winky or retro, so I was surprised to read a 2018 interview with something called Don's Horror World where Kiil said he wanted "people to think JULEBLOD is made by a one-hit wonder director in the '80s" and that "it was important to have some less interesting kills in the film. Because back in the '80s all the cheap VHS movies I saw had one to two interesting kills." That's more meta than I would've figured but yeah, I guess he succeeded then. He's also very aware of how dark the cinematography is, and says it was intentional:
"I like shadows and darkness… I don't need to see everything. I need to feel and hear and see… I wanted the light to be almost burned out many places. And the darkness be completely dark… I wanted a more gritty VHS quality of the filming. And I believe we did. Some people hate it and some people love it. I am one of them who love that kind of style."
He also says he came up with the idea when he was 14, and that he initially tried to make it in 2010 with Gunnar Hansen playing the Santa Claus (a little after REYKJAVIK WHALE WATCHING MASSACRE), but he didn't get it off the ground until after Hansen died.
Before and in between directing gigs, Kiil worked as a property master, production designer and other crew jobs (favorite credit: researcher on BABYLON A.D.). His other movies as a director are FUCK NORGE (2004), WHORE (2009), INSIDE THE WHORE (2012), THE HOUSE (2016) and PANDEMONIC (2020). Unless and until I see any of those, he's the one-hit wonder director of JULEBLOD.
I also watched one called ALIEN RAIDERS (2008), which I learned about from my trusty copy of Yuletide Terror: Christmas Horror on Film and Television that I dig out every year hoping there's one I missed. This book has already earned its keep by tipping me off to DEADLY GAMES/DIAL CODE SANTA CLAUS a couple years ago, so anything else is extra credit.
ALIEN RAIDERS is set in a grocery store in Arizona on December 20th. At first it seems to center on a put-upon courtesy clerk named Benny (Jeffrey Licon, SNOOP DOGG'S HOOD OF HORROR), who possibly has a thing for checker Whitney (Samantha Streets, THE GIRL FROM THE NAKED EYE), whose cop stepdad Steadman (Mathew St. Patrick, WAR) dislikes him for some reason. While they're closing up and Benny is walking the aisles looking for straggler customers he comes across a person laying on the floor in a puddle of blood in the produce department. He doesn't panic, just approaches and in a really well executed sequence the camera rotates around to first show other people at gunpoint, then someone coming up behind him.
We've seen this armed squadron pull up and storm in, and they seem like a militia or something. But you still kinda figure this is one of those grocery store robberies we've seen in STONE COLD and COBRA. The twist is that it's not a robbery, and they're basically good guys: they're aware of some people being infected by deadly aliens and they've got to figure out which ones and kill them before they transform.
Those of us watching from home have a pretty good idea that it's more likely a movie about an alien invasion than a movie about people mistakenly thinking there's an alien invasion. But obviously the hostages in this store don't believe them, and there's an off duty police officer who was shopping in the store who starts shooting. Biggest problem there is that he shoots and kills Spooky (Philip Newby, THE POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES), their "spotter," whose job it was to put his hands on each person's face and sense if there was an alien inside them. He could've cleared everybody who wasn't an alien and they would've been on their way, but now they have to keep everybody.
The leader of the group is called Ritter (Carlos Bernard, LAVALANTULA) and there's another guy called Kane (Rockmond Dunbar, KISS KISS BANG BANG) who's very intense. They know all about alien shit and talk about it in front of hostages without explaining what's up. "Do you think it's a king?" "It stung me." etc.
A pretty cool part of the mythology is that Spooky and other "spotters" have this ability because they're drug addicts and their bodies are too ravaged for the aliens to take them over. They negotiate with the police to bring them another experienced spotter named Charlotte (Bonita Friedericy, SLEEPING DOGS LIE, THE LORDS OF SALEM), but it's a last ditch plan that none of them are very comfortable with, because she previously fucked up and got a bunch of people killed, which is a risk when you have to count on people whose main qualification is a long, serious drug problem.
I didn't love this movie – I think it needs at least one engaging character to focus on, maybe. But I have to take my hat off because it's a pretty cool idea and impressive low budget effort. It's a little bit of THE THING but mixed with INTRUDER or THE MIST because of the grocery store. And it's a full sized, fully stocked store, not some phony set, so it's a cool contained setting. The alien FX are quite good – people turning all bumpy, little bug creatures, etc.
And there are a some good moments. I laughed that one of the hostages finally manages to steal a gun from one of their captors like two seconds before an alien runs through the employees-only door and mauls him. Also when someone asks, of an alien-ified dude, "Was that Ken?" and someone answered, "Define Ken."
I am a simple man. I would've liked it more if they did more grocery store specific gimmicks. Do they ram the fuckers with shopping carts? Did they slam a tentacle in a cash drawer? Do they crush one in the cardboard compactor in the stock room? Or drop a pallet on one? Did they at least knock over some soup cans? Not that I remember. And unfortunately there is zero Christmas theming. Because of when it takes place there's a Christmas tree lot outside the store, the windows are painted up with jolly shit, there are big reindeer, snowman, snowflake, and candy cane decorations inside, etc. But nobody even mentions Christmas. They do not find that the aliens' one weakness is eggnog. The time of year is incidental, just background detail.
For some reason the, uh… human raiders or whatever the guys in masks are called have some type of cameras attached to them, and it will cut to their grainy green feeds sometimes, a not terrible but dated visual gimmick that doesn't add much. At first I wondered if it was a budget-lowering thing, but they really don't use it enough to make a difference. I actually think the reason is THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. ALIEN RAIDERS is from Warner Home Video's DTV horror label Raw Feed (2006-2008), which means it's produced by BLAIR WITCH co-director Daniel Myrick. Writer Julia Fair* was a production assistant on BLAIR WITCH. Director Ben Rock was the production designer of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, so he created those famous stick men. He also wrote the promotional TV mockumentary CURSE OF THE BLAIR WITCH and wrote and directed THE BURKITTSVILLE 7 and SHADOW OF THE BLAIR WITCH and served as a consultant for all the tie-in books and games. So if he wasn't thinking "let's try some of that switching formats stuff like on BLAIR WITCH" I bet there's a good chance somebody else was telling him to.
Also Wikipedia says "he is the son of former Orlando and Miami area Bozo the Clown Alan Rock." That doesn't support the argument I'm trying to make here but I think it's information you might want to know.
*David Simkins is also credited, and he had nothing to do with BLAIR WITCH, but he wrote ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING and an episode of Blade: The Series.
Since directing ALIEN RAIDERS, Rock has done a bunch of shorts, commercials and podcatss, plus the 2020 feature WRZ: WHITE RACIST ZOMBIES. Raw Feed's other releases were REST STOP, SUBLIME, BELIEVERS, OTIS and REST STOP: DON'T LOOK BACK.

man thinking about Australian tourists for a Christmas horror movie just makes me wonder has there ever been an Australian Christmas horror movie in the sweltering summer with santa in shorts and everyone at backyard bbq playing cricket with wheely bins as wickets and shit.
That would rule
We recently watched Red Christmas which takes place at Christmas in Australia and features Dee Wallace.
Those are the good points. The bad points are basically everything else, including a lack of shorted Santas, cricket or backyard BBQs.
Don't watch Red Christmas, is what I'm saying.

Intentionally making a movie to replicate a forgotten, purposefully shitty 80's slasher, replicating the crappy aspects is a pretty ballsy move – doesn't particularly make me want to watch it, but I respect it. It also sounds like a very Norwegian thing to do, somehow.
Alien Raiders sounds kind of awesome, never heard of it before- thanks! Shame it sounds like they didn't really pull it off, but It's definitely on my radar now.

Following the huge success of games and other apps, mobile online shops are quickly starting to populate the Apple, Google and Windows stores, entering a market that shows no signs of slowing down. In the eCommerce industry, all the big players are starting to rely on mobile apps to generate more sales. Amazon, JD, TaoBao and TMall are just a few examples of online stores that have developed and published their own app.
Do I need an app for my store?
Since more and more people are using their mobile phones to browse the internet, having an mobile online shop that is optimized for all mobile devices (responsive design) is mandatory, not only to improve the positioning on search engines, but also to increase sales. What about an app then?
According to online studies, users are not always satisfied with the apps on the market. Not everyone can be connected to the Internet all the time (because of an inadequate infrastructure or prohibitive costs), and even more are not satisfied with the mobile experience.
If you want your app to be downloaded on all the phones available, creating multiple apps for all the Operative Systems is a must. Also, you will have to plan what permissions will be needed, such as internet connection, access to users' data, etc. Furthermore, apps require frequent updates and design changes to adapt and stay popular.
The app must offer new and exclusive content, in order to let people more engaged.
You must have a clear branding and positioning strategy for your app.
Last but not least, an app can be profitable for an online store only when your brand is already known or you are actively promoting your store on other platforms: if they don't know you, why should they download your app?
Although mCommerce is growing and users demand better and better experiences when browsing websites, apps are profitable only when considering all the above aspects. Can you keep your app updated on various platforms? Why shouldn't a user delete your app after just a few minute?
We believe that apps are an incredible opportunity for companies and users alike, but when it comes to eCommerce, your time and energy should probably be invested in other projects. In a very competitive market, it is mandatory to create a shop with responsive design to match the expectation of savvy users. With the mobile version of the shop, there is no need to download the app to buy: just click, enjoy the experience, and purchase as usual.


Cholesterol remains one of the most popular forms of labelling of oligonucleotides, especially those destined for use in therapeutics, including antisense and siRNA.1,2 Most oligonucleotides are hydrophilic, so they are constantly challenged in their ability to permeate cell membranes. In order to improve cellular uptake, one strategy is to conjugate oligonucleotides with hydrophobic molecules that are non-toxic and cholesterol is one of the most popular choices.
In 1993, Glen Research introduced Cholesteryl-TEG phosphoramidite (1) and the corresponding CPG support (2). Later, in 2008, we introduced the simplified version 5'-Cholesteryl-TEG phosphoramidite (3), designed solely for 5' labelling of oligonucleotides.
In those early days, the cholesterol to make these products was sourced from sheep's wool and the products were perfectly useable for their intended research and development purposes. However, it has become clear that this cholesterol source was unacceptable in situations where product oligonucleotides were required to be certified as being free from BSE/TSE contamination. Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) that affects cattle. There is also a spongiform encephalopathy associated with sheep, called scrapie, that has been shown to induce BSE in cattle.
We are happy to report that our raw material cholesterol is now from a plant source and our cholesterol products can now be certified as free from BSE/TSE contamination.
Glen Research also offers other hydrophobic labels, 5'-a-Tocopherol-TEG Phosphoramidite (4) and 5'-Stearyl Phosphoramidite (5), to improve the cellular uptake of oligonucleotides.

How a grandparent can get custody of a grandchild | Lindamood & Robinson, P.C.
Many grandparents feel that it would be best for a child if they obtained legal custody. While this may be something that some consider, it is easier said than done.
— If the parent(s) of the child sign a power of lawyer that hands over the ability to make decisions for the child.
— Go to court to fight for custody. In this case, it is required that you file a lawsuit in which you ask the court to grant you custody.
— That the grandchild has lived with you for a minimum of six months.
— A court has previously named you guardian of the child.
— Ability to prove that the child is being harmed by his or her current living conditions or those who are caring for the child.
— Both of the parents, a surviving parent, or a conservator must agree that it is best for the child to live with you.
There are times when a grandparent can get legal custody of a grandchild or grandchildren. In some cases, this is simple as the child's parents agree. Conversely, there are times when a lawsuit must be filed in order to start the process.
If a grandparent is interested in this, he or she should understand the law, the challenges, and what types of details may come up along the way.


Beaumont will be going through some major changes in the new year but not everyone is happy about it.
Fred Davis has lived in the community for 27 years and is not pleased that Mayor John Stewart will see his salary jump from $64,500 a year to an annual salary of $100,000 plus benefits when his job becomes full-time in 2019.
"I was shocked and disappointed, particularly given these economic times, the previous council did vote in favor of a pay raise to take effect after the last election and the understanding was they would not revisit that pay raise until 2021 so to go back to the troth a year into their mandate was extremely greedy" says Davis"
Mayor Stewart has said the salary jump was based on a study done last year which showed Beaumont councilor and mayor salary was extremely low compared to other municipalities.
Davis says the issue has caused a lot of division within the community that officially becomes a city in 2019.
Beaumont is the 5th fastest growing community in Canada with an annualized five-year growth rate at 4.1%.

CSUF runs the largest accredited (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) MBA program in California and the third largest in the United States. Fullerton's business school has been in the publication for six consecutive years.
The Princeton Review uses the surveys of students attending universities or colleges that have a qualified MBA program. Along with these surveys are statistical information about each institution, which include student population, campus life, admission requirements and the student/teacher ratio.
The information provided by students and administrators make up 11 ranking lists which have categories such as best professors, best campus facilities, most competitive students and greatest opportunity for women, to name a few.
None of these lists claim to rank the schools in terms of overall quality. They are meant to be used as a tool for assessing what school is the best fit for each individual student.
Some students, however, feel as though the ranking does not necessarily add prestige to a university. Brittney Poff, 21, a fourth-year child and adolescent studies major, agrees.
Although The Princeton Review is a well-known method of researching prospective colleges and universities, some students prefer to do it on their own. Jacqueline Mendoza, 21, an entertainment and tourism major, went that route.
Whether or not students use The Princeton Review to determine their college choice, many of the same criteria are considered in their decision. And even with the tuition hikes, CSUF is still considered a good bargain.
Students' opinion in regards to CSUF's overall performance has also been positive.
Tycie Forbes, 21, believes the Criminal Justice Department is good, but of course there is always room for improvement. The fourth-year student based this opinion on his own experience pursuing that particular major.

BIC Video News Show: Sandbox (SAND) Review
By Nicholas Pongratz
Updated by Kyle Baird
In this episode of BeInCrypto's Video News Show, host Jessica Walker digs into the Sandbox.
The Sandbox is a blockchain-based virtual world that allows users to create, build, buy and sell digital assets in the form of a game.
A 325% gain for their SAND token since October has also been a very strong signal.
With the world going mad for everything metaverse-related, a less-known project caught our eye this week. It started way back in 2011, but the Sandbox seems to be hitting its stride exactly ten years later! A 325% gain for their SAND token since October is also a very strong signal.
So, in this video, we'll tell you everything about the Sandbox — what it is exactly, who are its founders, its competitive advantages, the chart of the SAND token, as well as who has invested in the idea, and what you need to know before its big launch at the end of the month!
What is The Sandbox?
Launched in 2011 by Pixowl, The Sandbox is a blockchain-based virtual world that allows users to create, build, buy and sell digital assets in the form of a game. By combining the powers of decentralized autonomous organizations and non-fungible tokens, the Sandbox created a decentralized platform for a thriving gaming community.
According to the official whitepaper, the Sandbox platform's main mission is to introduce blockchain technology in mainstream gaming successfully. The platform focuses on facilitating a creative "play-to-earn" model, which allows users to be both creators and gamers simultaneously. The Sandbox also employs the powers of blockchain technology through the SAND utility token, which facilitates transactions on the platform.
Who Are the Founders of The Sandbox?
Arthur Madrid is co-founder and CEO at Pixowl, and he is one of the driving forces behind The Sandbox. He graduated with a degree in economics from Université Paris Dauphine in 2000. Madrid's professional career began as a consultant for Eurogroup Consulting France, but he soon found his entrepreneurial spirit.
Sebastien Borget is also a co-founder at Pixowl and serves as the COO of the company. His professional career began as a project lead for 1-Click Media, and since then, Arthur Madrid and Sebastien Borget have been an entrepreneurial duo. They founded Pixowl in 2011 and have been continually working on projects together.
What makes The Sandbox unique?
The Sandbox is a unique platform because it introduces blockchain technology to the world of gaming. The gaming industry is a huge untapped market when it comes to the adoption of blockchain tech, and Pixowl saw that in 2011. By creating a universe where gamers can create and collect blockchain-based assets, the Sandbox aims to revolutionize the market. It makes a niche for itself in the global market of gaming even though there are many competitors nowadays.
By focusing on user-generated content, the Sandbox creates a metaverse of involved players who contribute to the platform's further development. Not only that, by introducing the SAND token, the Sandbox promotes decentralized governance and allows users to share their views and ideas about the development of the project. Thanks to the evolving technology, decentralized governance is becoming a must-have in blockchain-based projects.
The company started out with a bang and attracted support and investments from numerous big names in the gaming industry. These include brands like Atari, Helix, and CryptoKitties. The latest one is SoftBank and we'll take a closer look at their investment right after we check out their parabolic chart.
SAND chart
SAND has been on a meteoric surge in 2021, gaining over 9,000% over the past 12 months. And while the chart before October 28th does show that incredible climb, we decided to focus on that specific date.
There are several things that happened around that day, so it's perhaps a combination that triggered the rally. Some credit the hype after Facebook's renaming to Meta and their decision to go all-in on metaverse projects. Others claim it's more about the multiple investments from Ubisoft and the approaching Alpha event when players will be allowed in their metaverse.
SAND/USD Chart by TradingView
Whatever the reasons, the price went parabolic and gained over 500% in less than a month. After a slight reversal, it's trying to break even higher at the time of recording. A sort of formal debut is expected for November 29, so we think you should definitely mark it in your calendars and watch the SAND token chart!
SoftBank investment
Focusing a bit more on those first days after the rally, we came across a very important investment, from a very prominent fund. The Sandbox raised $93 million from investors led by SoftBank's Vision Fund 2.
This latest fundraise came a little over a year after the last round, as the company saw fast growth in monthly active users and crossed $144 million in transaction volume on the platform. It also marks Vision Fund 2's first investment in a company that issues its own cryptocurrency.
This investment will help fuel the growth of the Sandbox creators' economy as it expands from gaming into fashion, architecture and virtual concerts, Sebastien Borget, chief operating officer, said in an interview.
"We are creating this open metaverse. We are positioning the Sandbox against those giant tech companies who are claiming the metaverse to be theirs, offering an alternative where users are first," said Borget.
Sandbox Alpha event
The Sandbox is opening up part of its Metaverse to players for the first time via a multi-week play-to-earn Alpha event. Only a handful of lucky players will get to enjoy the full experience, but it will allow them to monetize their time spent in the Metaverse. They'll be able to purchase land and create NFTs within the game and can earn SAND by completing various quests and staking the token.
According to a Nov 17 announcement from the firm, the event will start on Nov 29 at 1 pm UTC and will run until Dec 20. A select group of just 5,000 users will have the chance to earn up to 1,000 SAND and three exclusive NFTs via time spent across 18 experiences developed by The Sandbox teams.
The three exclusive NFTs will only be available during the event. They will depict a medieval-style gate, a blue and black dragon, and a longsword that are all usable in the Sandbox Metaverse.
The Alpha Pass is an NFT ticket that grants full access to the event to 5,000 individuals. Some 1,000 are up for grabs in a raffle for Sandbox Landowners, and 2,250 more will be given out to Sandbox account holders via daily social contests over a three-week period. These golden tickets will also be on sale on OpenSea's secondary market between Nov 29 and Dec 19.
Players without the pass will be able to access three experiences and the Alpha Hub, a multiplayer gaming mode that features a range of locations and quests, but they will not be eligible for P2E rewards. According to data from OpenSea, the floor price for Sandbox NFTs sits at around 1 ETH, worth around $4,200 at the time of recording.
Let's wrap things up with some key figures: Sandbox's creation tools in beta mode have more than 30,000 active users each month. Its virtual real estate lands have more than 12,000 unique owners in the community. The total value of the virtual world exceeds $2 billion at the time of recording and there are more than 165 partners, including Snoop Dogg, The Walking Dead, the Smurfs, Deadmau5, and Care Bears own LAND.

I'll do my best to be around for a game or few.
Anyone down for some tribes this Sunday??
We need someone to host still! Unfortunately no one can see the server any time I try to host!
Game is up, hopefully its visible.
Most people i have seen in the game so far, lets keep it up!
Thanks for hosting rookie. The server ended after thin ice, I was hoping we were just switching to cnh or hunters or something but no new match was started! Either way, good games all around, it was fun to play again.

Gangasagar Mela or also called Gangasagar fair is the largest mela in West Bengal and the fair is held in the place where the river Ganga and the Bay of Bengal form a connection together. Thus the name called Gangasagar Mela came into picture.
The river Ganga originates from Gangotri glacier. This lies in the snow clad Himalayas. The Ganga descends down the mountains. It then reaches the plains at Haridwar. After that it flows through piligrimage places like Benaras and Prayag after which it goes to the Bay of Bengal.

Brittany Crafton's Conjoined Twins In Critical Condition After Being Born Sharing A Heart
Lindsay McCane
Newborn conjoined twins remain in critical condition at a Georgia hospital after they were born sharing a heart and a liver.
The two boys, named Chandler Kaiden and Chance Aiden, were born by cesarean section on Monday, November 9 at the Georgia Regents Medical Center and are now being cared for at the neonatal intensive care unit of the Children's Hospital of Georgia in Augusta.
According to Fox News, Brittany Crafton, 26, a first time mom, had no idea she was having twins, much less conjoined twins, until she went in for her second sonogram.
"I knew something had to be different when the ultrasound took longer than expected. The news of them being conjoined was truly surreal," said Crafton, adding that she fell in love with her boys from the moment the doctor told her she was pregnant.
The ultrasound showed her son's embracing, which is why she decided to continue with the pregnancy, even though she knew there would be struggles after they were born.

"How could you do something to two little babies, just looking like they're hugging each other?" she said. "When I got to see it on the sonogram. I was like there's two babies, it like they're hugging. It was very surprising, shocking, nerve-wracking, all at once. You know when you have a plan and the plan doesn't go as you expect, but God has a plan for all of us and he has a plan for the boys so I just leave it in his hands."
Prior to the boy's delivery, Dr. Paul Browne, who is the section chief of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at Georgia Regents University (GRU) and Health System (GRHealth), said their chance of survival was good even though they were joined at the chest, WJBF reports.

"We have tools that help us predict children's chances of survival, but most of that depends upon the heart," Browne said previously. "What makes this case special, is that the heart the twins share is quite normal and has been functioning very well for them. So, we believe it will continue to function well after the delivery."
Aside from being joined at the heart and liver, the conjoined twins also suffer from clubfoot, and one of the twin's hip is dislocated. A GoFundMe site called "2 Smiles 1 Heart" has been created in hopes of raising money to help pay for the twin's care. So far, the fundraising page has raised $5,035 in 18 days.
"All funds will go directly to Brittany to assist with the twins. Please continue to pray with us," the page reads. "With God all things are possible!!!!"

For now, Crafton, who is a hairstylist, has not decided if, or when, she will separate the twins. Right now, she is just focusing on caring for them and trying to figure out how to pay for their expenses, which will include specialized car seats, cribs, and clothing, as well as their medical and rehabilitation costs.
According to a hospital press release, Crafton's sons were the first set of conjoined twins to be born at the academic health center in Augusta. The Children's Hospital of Georgia is the second-largest children's hospital Georgia. It was recently ranked number one in the nation for quality and safety by the UHC. The hospital's website states that conjoined twins occur in approximately one out of 60,000 births.

Stacey Abrams showed the power of up-close and personal politics | Editorial
In Georgia, Stacey Abrams and her team didn't rely on television or social media. They met people where they were, in their communities. And they organized people to make a difference. (Michael Holahan/AP)
Georgia's Senate runoff race offers important lessons for political campaigns around the country on old school, grassroots organizing of voters.
Democrats flipped two seats in the historically red state, upending a Republican stronghold and practically ensuring President-elect Joe Biden an easier ride as president. So badly was the status quo thrown off-kilter that Republican lawmakers are already talking about trying to restrict absentee voting, as mail-in voting helped to mobilize throngs of new voters.
We know Georgia is no stranger to such voter suppression tactics. The runoff system itself, held when no candidate gets a majority of the vote, was created in the 1960s to dilute the Black vote and give white candidates an edge. But it didn't work this time around.
Thank Stacey Abrams, Georgia's former House minority leader, and the dozens of churches and other community and activist groups that held massive registration drives and rallied people to the polls.
Abrams kept her word not to go away quietly after losing a 2018 gubernatorial bid because of what she called outright voter suppression, including the purge of voter rolls and denial of new registrations. She started the voter organization Fair Fight, and Republicans soon didn't know what hit them. What do they say about a scorned woman? She comes back with a vengeance and turns a red state blue — at least in the U.S. Senate.
Abrams and other already entrenched groups, such as Black Voters Matter, canvassed the state searching for unregistered voters, including large swaths of people who had never registered, or those who might have been on the voter rolls, but didn't participate in the process all that often.
In the age of social media, when Facebook and Instagram pages fill up with political ads during election season, activists used more traditional methods, like door hangers, and focused on issues to engage potential voters, such as systemic racism. They made people see how government could be meaningful to them.
The result: a record breaking 4.5 million people voted in the runoff elections and Black voters led the way in solidifying a Democratic victory. We're all better off because of it, too.
With Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock in the Senate, it will end the Republican majority, the tyrannic reign of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the political gridlock that made it hard to get anything done. The country will, we hope, get a meaningful stimulus plan that will help people through the financial hardships caused by COVID-19. Reams of legislation that passed in the House, only to stall in the Senate, may finally see life. We hope desperately that it also means the country can began to restore faith in our democracy.
Florida ought to take some tips from Georgia's playbook on engaging an electorate. People often complain about the status quo, saying it's time for change in Tallahassee, where Republicans have controlled the Governor's Mansion since 1998, the Florida Senate since 1994 and the Florida House since 1996. And since last year, when three liberal justices were forced to retire at age 70, Florida also has a Republican Supreme Court, where membership in the Federalist Society is the ticket for appointment.

Maybe the answer, then, is for political campaigns to step up their ground games and mobilizing efforts and do a better job of reaching new voters and exciting those who have become disengaged.
Mail-in voting, which has resulted in increased voter participation by making it easier to cast a ballot, will only help the cause. Yeah, voting is supposed to be a civic duty. But we know too many people who don't think the political process works for them, and so they stay home. That is the reality whether we like it or not.
The good thing is that Abrams and Georgia have proven that mindset can be changed with a boots to the ground mentality. They reinvigorated an old formula for modern times. So we say congratulations to them. And we can't wait to see what Abrams plans to do next. We certainly don't think this is the last we have seen of her. Perhaps there is another gubernatorial run in her future?

Interworld Electronics, has announced the release of a new family of PCI Express Mini Cards—the mPCIe-ICM Series from ACCES I/O Products, Inc.. These isolated serial communication cards measure just 30 x 51 mm and feature a selection of 4 or 2 ports of isolated RS232 serial communications. 1.5kV isolation is provided port-to-computer and 500V isolation port-to-port on ALL signals at the I/O connectors. The mPCIe-ICM cards have been designed for use in harsh and rugged environments such as military and defense along with applications such as health and medical, point of sale systems, kiosk design, retail, hospitality, automation, and gaming.
The RS232 ports provided by the card are 100% compatible with every other industry-standard serial COM device, supporting TX, RX, RTS, and CTS. The card provides ±15kV ESD protection on all signal pins to protect against costly damage to sensitive electronic devices due to electrostatic discharge. In addition, they provide Tru-Iso™ port-to-port and port-to-PC isolation. The serial ports on the device are accessed using a low-profile, latching, 5-pin Hirose connector. Optional breakout cables are available, and bring each port connection to a panel-mountable DB9-M with an industry compatible RS232 pin-out. The mPCIe-ICM cards were designed using type 16C950 UARTS and use 128-byte transmit/receive FIFO buffers to decrease CPU loading and protect against lost data in multitasking systems. New systems can continue to interface with legacy serial peripherals, yet benefit from the use of the high performance PCI Express bus. The cards are fully software compatible with current PCI 16550 type UART applications and allow for users to maintain backward compatibility.
The mPCIe-ICM Series is especially useful in applications where high common-mode external voltages are present. Isolation is required to guard electronics from transient voltage spikes and offers greater common-mode noise rejection in electrically noisy surroundings containing industrial machinery and inductive loads. These applications include factory automation, energy management, military/mission-critical, industrial ON/OFF control, security systems, manufacturing test, process monitoring, and kiosks. In addition to protecting industrial applications from the influence of high external voltages, isolation eliminates troublesome ground loops.

In the event that you notice a strange white rash within your mouth, you might have an ailment called thrush. It's an infection caused by the candida fungus, which is yeast.
It can cause diaper rash in infants or vaginal yeast infections in women. Anyone can get thrush, but it happens most often to very young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Smaller amounts of the candida fungus are in the mouth area, digestive system, and skin.
If you've spied strange white patches in baby's mouth, maybe it's case of thrush. Learn how to identify thrush in babies and the way to clear up chlamydia quickly. Even though symptoms of thrush can be irritating, it cannot hurt you or your baby.
How Does Child Get Thrush?
White, slightly raised areas in your mouth are common signals of thrush. They're usually entirely on your tongue or inner cheeks. They can also appear on the roof of your mouth, gums, tonsils, or the trunk of your throat. These areas may look like cottage cheese.

Find Myself
by Kolton Thomas
© Copyright - Kolton Thomas / Kolton Thomas (191924380894)
Find Myself is an upbeat song telling of how we grow up and get lost in the world from time to time - but with some faith, we can always find our way back to who we really are.
Genre: Rock: Soft Rock
1. Find Myself
Kolton Thomas is a singer songwriter currently residing in Little Rock, Arkansas. His music is primarily acoustic driven with tones of folk, indie, and soft rock. Kolton's lyrics are based mostly on themes of looking inward and asking meaningful questions about our past and present selves.
Find Myself is Kolton's first single released in 2017. The song captures this feeling of lostness when we grow up, explore, and stray too far from who we once were. The song has hopeful tones about finding our way back to who we know we should be.
Kolton describes how he wrote the song:
"The song was written during a trip to Haiti. I was living with a Haitian family for 3 months, and I got talking with the neighbor in broken English and Haitian Kreyol. When I told him I was a musician the Haitian man went and retrieved an old, beat up classical guitar and told me I could borrow it during my stay. When I took it back to my room and tuned it, I found that it actually had a wonderful tone. I played around with this picking pattern that was inspired by a few John Mayer songs I'd learned until I came away with the guitar part to Find Myself. As I played it over an over again that night, the words and the melody started coming to me and I knew immediately there would be something special about the song. There is so much we learn about ourselves when we travel far from home and then make the journey back. Find Myself is written to capture just that, with the hope that if we keep searching, keep believing, we'll come back to who we were even if we feel lost."
