Ecommerce is proving to be the best channel for selling niche products. Online brands are able to reach their intended audience regardless of location, which is vital for narrower niches and special products.
Why niche products sell so well online?
Ecommerce gives forward-thinking merchants a bigger reach to compensate for a smaller target group, and endless opportunities to educate about a new product.
We work with many entrepreneurs who make or have designed/ invented their own improved version of a product to innovate traditional categories like sports gear, food, baby care, personal hygiene and many, many others.
They often sell exclusively online and we see how successful they are for two main reasons: good, original products and effective communication with the customer group. The key is building a community around people's shared interests and how an unordinary product fits in the puzzle.
Here, we give you awesome product examples that are welcomed by customers and change their traditional niches so you get inspired to start working on your idea or push harder and grow your brand if you already have one.
The following are niche products that have started a fad of their own and see awesome results in sales. If you have a similar idea, go ahead and launch!
You won't believe how many people are ready to order a selection of smoothies for the next 2-3 days instead of making them. That's proof people will pay for convenience.
Healthy meal deliveries are a growing niche too as more and more people can afford to order freshly cooked lunch at the office or a weekly family menu. Zielony Puzzle, for example, a Polish meal delivery, lets you choose your diet and menu preferences to stick to your eating regime.
Ripayon in France, on the other hand, makes ordering team or family meals for sharing easier than picking a few different dishes.
Especially with all things healthy on the rise, any product that saves time and helps people eat well on a busy schedule should be successful – given that quality and freshness really are as promised.
As consumers shy away from single-use plastics, innovative and eco-friendly solutions take the stage. Heavy DIY heads have been making their own reusable food wrap at home for a long time, learning from old times traditions in keeping food fresh.
For the modern busy person, however, now many options are available to buy online. LilyBee Wrap is one of them and is made from beeswax.
The family-owned company says that so far over 12,000 families have switched from cling film to its product so a massive change is underway and other environmentally-friendly solutions to everyday products are also likely to take over our homes.
We see a rise in more conscious buying – buying for life. It's the opposite of buying cheap and poorly made products, only to replace them with other cheap buys when they break or wear out.
Some people are tired of buying low-quality stuff and prefer to pay more for a better-made item that will last as long as they need it – some items like gear and leather bags sell to last a lifetime. There's a huge subReddit where people recommend such products made to last.
If this fits your philosophy and you already have a durable product that you can vouch will last to be inherited by your customer's grandchildren, stick the "buy it for life" and "built to last" labels on it and go ahead.
If not – maybe it's time to reconsider what makes more money. Many entrepreneurs joining the movement will tell you that premium products with a compelling advantage and a good margin is a much better business than pushing low-quality, low-margin stuff with no story to back it up.
With legislation of CBD in many countries, the use of CBD oil products is growing. Not just for people, but pets too. Studies suggest CBD has positive effects on many health conditions in our furry friends and we expect it to become mainstream health product just like any supplements soon.
Cannanine is one brand that offers CBD oils for dogs in case of epilepsy, joint pain, tumors, anxiety, and more. It's important to note their oils are completely THC-free, meaning without the psychotropic and addictive effect of marijuana.
Not kidding. Ingenious entrepreneurs figured out that we buy socks fairly regularly and in bulk, but don't want to spend time on it – their product takes the task off the plate.
Another example of eCommerce taking convenience to a whole new level. How niche is this? Do you own a pair of mustard-colored socks? Exactly.
That product niche is a great example how eCommerce can respond to the growing demand for craft, non-mainstream products.
Connoisseurs of cider, whiskey, beer, wine and others rely on small online shops to supply them with their favorites that are hard to find in traditional shops.
The beauty of those niche online shops is that they carry a large variety and often connect customers with small, artisanal and local producers. Also, niche brands with artisanal spirit find their fans and are able to share their journey.
Digital nomads and entrepreneurs – a key consumer group online and opinion leaders – travel a lot and bring their gear along. That's why it's only natural to see a demand for better backpacks.
They come with chargers, USB, Bluetooth, RFID and other geeky extras that we're not even sure how to use – but hey, there're people who do. The good thing about those smart backpacks is that they have to be well-made, durable, and so it's a premium product by default and you can make a good profit.
Only choose your suppliers carefully and make sure the products is really high-quality or you're quickly get busted.
Tea is making a comeback as it is associated with healthy living and mindfulness. It is still easily branded as an exotic product, not readily available in the Western world, so it can make a good premium.
Vahdam teas shortens the time from a garden in India to customer. Birchall Tea has been keeping the tea tradition alive for 140 years. Both companies' branding positions tea as an everyday luxury, which is in line with the overall trend for artisan foods and drinks, superior to mass consumption products.
Mindfulness is trendy and so are old-school products that bring back focus and connection to self – notebooks for handwriting aspirations, ideas, and plans. It sounds cheesy but journaling is making a comeback as all gurus tell their followers to write down for 10 minutes each day and chronicle their path to success.
You can either create your own planner designs and run a brand or import some ready-made notebooks. When deciding, think about the language your customers speak (English may not be best for everybody) and check for silly spelling mistakes if you're buying a ready product.
As Millennial women are at their peak now, they're the driving force in feminine care. They're more environmentally conscious than their mothers and care about the amount of waste their monthly periods produce.
This has led to many innovations in period hygiene products such as reusable menstrual cups, washable period panties, and biodegradable panty liners. It's a great time if you have such an idea, too. Anything that makes women's lives easier during that time of the month and takes the discomfort off their heads is going to be appreciated, really.
Big brands often lack specific types of clothing because they just don't fit with their trendy collections. So people who want timeless, functional clothes, have to look elsewhere. A growing cohort of entrepreneurs fill these gaps with specially designed sports gear, outdoor clothing, beach wear and so on. Buyers from specific regions and climates appreciate the choice available and the attention to functionality, not trendiness.
One such brand is Norrsken, which makes quality warm jackets for women in the areas of the Northern LIghts where winter's harsh and a jacket is worn most of time and to every occasion. The jacket's are designed to keep warm and look good in a woman's everyday. Not that this was impossible for a high-street brand, but Norrsken focuses on function and comfort, which many customers would appreciate.
Mass cosmetics are not created for the special needs of some users, they are for the lowest common denominator. So customers with skin conditions and harsh skin problems turn to niche beauty products for treatment and reassurance.
One brand that restores the confidence of people with vitiligo is Zanderm. Another is MiSMo Body Care that sells body and beauty products for people with highly sensitive skin including rosacea.
This is another product niche that's changing. People care more and more about the quality of their morning brew.
With organic, fair trade or just fresh selection, local roasting companies are overtaking the market. Fast delivery and monthly supply bundles help them stay competitive to store-bought mass coffee.
The Barrington Coffee Roasting Company, for example, has created a whole mini-universe around quality coffee with their barista training and cupping classes.
As environmentally-friendly lifestyle is spreading among the wealthier, the clothing industry is shifting to more sustainable manufacturing and attention to materials. Brands focus on very narrow customer segments like environmentally conscious surfers or highly sensitive to synthetic fabrics mothers-to-be.
Just like human food, pet food is getting a makeover. More and more pet owners are concerned with the quality of traditional kibble so they turn to companies that use human-grade ingredients and good production practices to make nutritious dog and cat food like Pure Pet Food, for example. This brand goes even further and freeze-dries its food to keep longer without preservatives and make the raw meal closer in texture to the convenient kibble.
Raw and no-grain diets are also on the rise so if you're in that niche, add some variety to the core meta-rich range.
Fan wearables are always cool. Some communities are so strong and so well-established niche markets that whole businesses can be built around them.
If you know the typical member of such group or you belong to one, it'd be way easier to enter the niche and reach those people without seeming like an imposter. Storiarts is an online shop for avid readers where they can find scarves, tote bags and other accessories with quotes from favorite books, spreading the love for literature.
You see the habits and needs are changing, lots of innovative products find their loyal customers and your wild idea might not be that wild after all! We encourage you to launch that original product of yours if you think it will make people's lives easier and better – so many entrepreneurs are already doing it in disrupting the sleep of big corporations.

As a new Christian, maybe 18 years ago or so, I used to attend a weekly Friday night bible study. That night I would meet with 15-25 other singles and dive into a study, then some of us would usually head out to eat together. I was brand new to the Word, and so eager to learn. I attended on and off for years, cutting my teeth on things I read but barely understood, wanting so badly to "get it", that struggle for comprehension only driving me to study more. It was the highlight of my week.
At the time I was teaching middle school science with a wonderful bunch of coworkers- a group that truly sought excellence from their students and in their own teaching. I had a lot of great friends there. But every Friday, I would receive an invitation- did I want to go to happy hour with them? I did go occasionally, but for the most part, my answer was no, and I would add that I was going to bible study. It happened so often that it got to be routine. A friend would ask "Would you like to go to happy hour, or are you going to bible study?" Eventually a good-natured friend quipped "Enough with the bible study… when's the test?!"
I cannot even remember all of the studies I have attended in the last 18 years, but I heard something recently in a study that struck me. I have been studying the book of James this year, and in Beth Moore's video for one of her sessions, she asks the question "when was the last time a bible study actually changed you, either how you behave or how you understand the nature of God?"
I can think of several in recent history. I studied Deuteronomy as a young mother of two (the third was not even on the radar yet). Want to learn about God as Father, and what perfect parenting looks like? Read Deuteronomy.
I studied Joshua in a time when it was unclear what my role as a ministry leader was.
I studied Ruth in a time when I was struggling with allegiance to natural family versus spiritual family.
I studied the Prodigal God (Tim Keller) when I was questioning the merit of playing by the rules.
I studied Revelation and realized that I was seeing Jesus for only half of what He is. Half of infinity is still infinity, but when my eyes opened to what I had not seen, well, oh my soul is all I can say.
Beth Moore's point in asking her question about the last time a bible study changed you was this: James 1 says "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." Her point is that as long as we sit and listen to all the pretty words and encouragement, but remain unchanged by them, then we might as well not attend.
Now is the point at which I could give a list of bible studies, conferences and books I have consumed that have not changed me a whit. Some were beyond me, some were simply not very good, but most that did not have an impact were probably because I did not allow it to impact me. For whatever reason- boredom, poor motivation, laziness- instead of doing the Word, I just went through the motions. And I feel regret.
The biggest reason I think I missed out in these studies is that I was treating the Word as if it were an inanimate, dead thing, instead of the living breathing thing that Scripture is. These are not dry, dusty bones, and if I treat it as such of course it will have no power to change. These are living God-breathed words, meant for me not only to read and study, but as James says, to do.
As to my humorous co-worker's question- "Enough with the bible study… when's the test?" It was funny, and it still makes me chuckle. But I wish I had the maturity to tell him what I would tell him now: there is no test, not for me. Someone already took it in my place and passed it for me.
So what is the point of studying then? The point is not to be measured and found adequate or lacking. The end goal is for nourishment- real nourishment. "He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD." Deut 8:3

Blueberries in a Blanket
In a small sauce pan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, lemon, and sugar.
Mash the blueberries lightly until juice is released and increase heat.
Bring liquid to a boil and add the cornstarch and water combo. Reduce heat and cook until thickened. Add additional sweetener to taste.
Meanwhile, microwave the cream cheese for about 30 seconds until soft. Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla.
Lay out a few of the wontons. Following package instructions, wet the edges and dollop the filling in the center. The package will explain how to fold pretty wontons, or you can fold into triangles. Repeat until no more filling remains, approximately 40 wontons.
Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with additional sugar. Arrange wontons in a single layer and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 8 – 10 minutes until edges and tops are lightly browned and crispy. Some filling may leak out (less will leak the more frozen the wontons are). Serve warm.
Ingredients — Makes 40
3/4 cup blueberries
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
2+ tbsp sugar
1/2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
8 oz. cream cheese
1/3 cup powdered sugar
vanilla extract small splash
40 count wanton wrappers
1 tbsp milk
Demerara sugar garnish

A Decade Ago, online diversity job search engines were mainly the field of a small population of hard-core techies. One of my favorite on this list is JobMo which lets you search by location using Google maps in over 20 countries, find and apply for jobs listed on sites like Indeed, Simply Hired, The Ladders and Monster, as well as allows you to research companies and compare salary information.
The jobs can be searched in a wide variety of ways, including by location, job title, company name, experience required, field or industry, and more. In addition to detailed search functionality, the site allows users to create an account, save searches and upload their resume and provides relevant career advice. You can narrow your search by location, keywords, and employer; plus, Monster has plenty of job search extras: networking boards, job search alerts, and online resume posting.
Cottam was informed the amniotic fluid contained cells this kind of as sloughed off skin, fingernail or hair from among the list of twins. Job seekers may also search job trends and salaries, read and participate in discussion forums, research companies and even find people working for companies of interest through their online social networks. There are tons of other smaller, more specific niche job search engines" that help cut through the fat and clutter of the larger job sites. Would be nice if every time I click on a job to check it our when I went back to the search results I didnt have to start over at the top. Job Banks primarily serving non-US audiences are included in the International Resources and any job bank I could target to a specific region or industry is listed under that category. Company web site: Using search engines such as Google or MSN, find the company.
Many of these sites also offer career tests that will help you determine which job will be right for you and they can provide relevant services to help you with career planning. Then, the job search engine will use this information so it can identify which job is right for you. WORKink : Provided by the Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work WORKink is a comprehensive list of job postings for Canadians with disabilities.
You can browse their salary records including average salary and salary range, job title, location and the name of the company, so that you can easily know which company has been providing what amount of salaries to the different accountant designations.

It's that time of year...kids flying the nest, trying to put together cool pads with roommates or by themselves and with no idea where to start. We are here to help. We put together a set of items, easy on the eyes, durable and comfortable --but also easy on the pocketbook. Remember to ask the landlord to paint the interior "Decorator White" before move-in day so that the perfect neutral backdrop for the new digs is all set. Those thrift store/garage sale/hand-me-down artworks will look great against the clean, white walls so you can really stamp your new space with your own grown-up style.
Of course, the navy blue is just a suggestion but the sofa, stools and the rug will take whatever your friends throw at them and still look stylish. xo, Carolyn

Just a few weeks to go until the prestigious and highly enjoyable Clare Priory Craft Fair. I did this fair for the first time last year, as several fellow stall holders recommended it. I was not disappointed! It was bustling with people, it was full of delightful, high quality stalls, and there was a great atmosphere and camaraderie throughout the event. I'm so looking forward to doing it again this year!
I expected to have a few weeks break after Clare, in order to restock for the Countess of Warwick's Show at Little Easton Gardens on the August Bank Holiday weekend. However, having moved to Yorkshire recently, I've been looking out for good shows in the Dales area, and discovered that the National Sheepdog Trials are being held this year just half an hour's drive from my new abode. They're at the end of July, in the grounds of the beautiful Jervaulx Abbey. I applied last week and am delighted that they have squeezed me in. It's a three day event so I'm going to be very busy, both at the event itself and also in the couple of weeks beforehand. As there are a finite number of dolls I can physically make, I'll have to spend all my spare time sewing in readiness for the event. Just as well I enjoy making my dolls so much!!
So, if you live within striking distance of Clare in Suffolk, or Jervaulx Abbey in East Witton, North Yorkshire, do come along and enjoy the events as well as snapping up a gorgeous doll or a set of padded letters. See you there!

The Justice Department has closed its investigation into the police shooting of a 79-year-old former Marine in Westchester County, records show.
Prosecutors concluded that the White Plains officers involved in the 2011 encounter that led to the death of Kenneth Chamberlain Sr. did not violate his civil rights.
Officer Anthony Carelli, 35, shot and killed Chamberlain after someone reported he was in distress and cops forced their way into his home on Nov. 19, 2011.
"The weight of the evidence indicates that the police officers believed that Chamberlain was threatening Sgt. (Keith) Martin with a knife and that Officer Carelli believed Martin was in danger," Joon Kim, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District, said.
Randolph McLaughlin, a lawyer who represented Chamberlain's family in an unsuccessful $21 million lawsuit, said he was disappointed but not surprised.
"This Justice Department has turned the law on its head. Under Obama, it was a friend to people involved in civil rights. Now, the opposite is clearly the case," McLaughlin said.

ALBANY, N.Y. - New York's Court of Appeals has decided that a conversion claim may be brought by a former Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. agent who says the company took information he needed when it reclaimed its computer.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit certified the question to New York's highest court, where it was answered in the affirmative in a unanimous opinion Thursday authored by Justice Victoria Graffeo.
"We believe that the tort of conversion must keep pace with the contemporary realities of widespread computer use," Graffeo wrote. "We therefore answer the certified question in the affirmative and hold that the type of data that Nationwide allegedly took possession of -- electronic records that were stored on a computer and were indistinguishable from printed documents -- are subject to a claim of conversion in New York.
"Because this is the only type of intangible property at issue in this case, we do not consider whether any of the myriad other forms of virtual information should be protected by the tort."
Louis Thyroff became a Nationwide agent in 1988 and was leased a computer until 2000, when Nationwide informed him that his contract had been cancelled.
Nationwide reclaimed the computer, which Thyroff says caused him to lose customer information and other types of personal information that was stored on it.
Thyroff filed suit against Nationwide, asserting several causes of action. Eleven causes were dismissed, and a district court granted Nationwide summary judgment.
Thyroff appealed to the Second Circuit, which asked the Court of Appeals to answer the conversion question.
"(It) generally is not the physical nature of a document that determines its worth, it is the information memorialized in the document that has intrinsic value," Graffeo wrote. "A manuscript of a novel has the same value whether it is saved in a computer's memory or printed on paper.
"So too, the information that Thyroff allegedly stored on his leased computers in the form of electronic records of customer contacts and related data has value to him regardless of whether the format in which the information was stored was tangible or intangible. In the absence of a significant difference in the value of the information, the protections of the law should apply equally to both forms -- physical and virtual."

Feeling A Bit Flat.
At least I was feeling a bit flat. Now I feel quite festive.
But when I did this drawing (drawn rather laziliy I must admit) I looked like I had been flattened by a steam roller in Roadrunner and Wile. E. Coyote fashion.

How do Shopify Plus and Magento Enterprise compare in terms of functionality? Read this article and find out which ecommerce solution excels in this area.
Like any professional and reliable ecommerce solution, both Shopify Plus and Magento offer basic store functionalities including shopping cart, page management, shipping choices, complete product management, checkout options, usable reports, and more.
As the online store is set up and grows over time, it requires advanced online store functionalities. We are talking about functionalities such as drop shipping, additional checkout options, reviews, additional payment gateways, data-driven marketing actions, advanced and intelligent couponing, and much more. These extra functionalities could make a huge difference to your online store.
Shopify Plus has over 500 applications in the App Store while Magento has over 9000 modules in the Magento Connect. For large ecommerce store owners, some features can mean a good deal of more customers or extra revenue.
Whilst Shopify Plus has a great feature-list that will satisfy any type of business, Magento Commerce excels in a few areas such as promotions or discounts and merchandising and production. You can use promotions and discounts as part of Magento features such as customer segmentation and scheduled updates. The Magento platform allows two types – catalog price rules which are broader rules applied based on criteria in the catalog and cart price rules which are condition-based rules applied in the checkout.
Shopify on the other side is easier to use and it is ideal for standard product catalogs and selling simple products. There are third-party extensions and options to extend the functionality and the types of products for Shopify, however, Magento is a little bit stronger solution. We can say that Magento has a stronger-native feature set, however, most of the functionality can be achieved with Shopify Plus as well.
One aspect of product management that Shopify is definitely stronger is the CSV import. For an average seller, with a straightforward catalog, it is much simpler to get it right. The users who have used this function a few times said they hadn't had any issues. With Magento, this has always been a big problem. Shopify has an excellent plugin called Excelify and this is a valuable application that makes the process cleaner and quicker and it also reduces errors.
We hope this article was useful and will help you in the decision-making process.

Now i know the Fallen Malakim is coming out and will most probably have the most definite canon rules we will ever see on this subject but I have my own take, Non-Canonical version of how Malakim Fall and what they become afterwards. Do not read ahead those who value the purity of this choir and would like to think them invincible...
Warlocks- Now the title of Warlock for a Fallen Malakim at first seems strange, more like something to call a human sorceror, unless one considers the actual meaning of this word. Warlock means oath-breaker, and since Malakim are highly honlorable and oath driven beings, indeed they must take at least four, then one who is Fallen must have somehow broken all their oaths, until they have become meaningless to it.
The Malakim were created as Pure uncorruptible beings to thwart Lucifer's rebellion, and they did their job well, but even God is not perfect and neither were exactly the malakim. The One Above knew that one day one of these Pure Ones would fall in to Hell, it would be as inevitable as some demons redeeming, but She wanted to stave this day off as long as possible. however the Malakim proved reliable and well for millennia, not a one even came close to the Pit, until Uriel's Crusade.
Uriel's overzelousness in this conquest worried a lot of people, what had started as a clean-up turned in to a a complete quest for Ethereal Annihilation, Uriel and his servitors began slipping towards the Pit and Lucifer was pleased. God however in the interests of keeping the Malakim from disaster, pulled Uriel back to let off steam, then temporarily let the Word of Purity move back in importance. The irony of this was that by pulling Uriel back and doing this to stop the first malakim fallings, God had also set abput making it even easier for Malakim to be corrupted and Fall.
Enter Samuel, a former servitor of Purity, now of the Sword, examining the demons and their society so as to better understand them. Gradually he came to tolerate them, then respect them, then to admire them, and he let his oaths and tasks fall by the wayside. He received dissonance for disobediance to Laurence, he gained dissonance for denying his nature, in time he became a pitiful discordant creature, hunted and hated by his own. It was in this dark state that a revelation occurred, the malakim could not fall because they were filled with the light of God, it shone brighter then in any other choir, the only way out for him was to make himself blind to God. So Samuel became Samael, Blind to God, and the First Warlock.
Heaven was in uproar and Laurence was dragged before the Seraphim Council to explain, cowering under the joint gazes of Dominic and Michael, for one of the few times in agreement about angelic conduct. As it happened it also set about the creation of the Ronin, a League of Outcast Malakim, determined to be masterless and fight the war how they wish, or not fight it at all.
To cover up his failure Laurence began an earnest hunt for Samael and the Ronin, that ended in failure. A squad of four Malakim caught up with Samael in the Corporeal Realm under the guard of four strong soldiers and two Calabim, by the end of the conflict the soldiers were dead, one of the Calabim had been soul killed the other had lost his vessel, and the four malakim had Fallen as well. Now Hell had five warlocks, and heaven's spirits dropped lower.
Hell had never been able to duplicate an infernal version of the Malakim, but now they had prototypes to copy, however cloning warlocks proved more difficult then expected, and there are still only a few to each Prince. Needless to say Malakim hunt Warlocks with unparalled fervor, above even Shedim and balseraphs, and Warlocks return the hate in spades.
Resonance - Being the ulitmate Oath Breakers themselves, they have the ability to see agreements between others, and tear them apart, they can make even the most dependable people dodgers, turn even the best of friends and lovers to betryal, cause priests to give up the faith, scientists to lose faith in logic. They perceive with a perception roll agreements and affirmations made by people, then use will to break them, the check didgit is the indicator of how important the oath they perceive, and how much damage is done to it, and how quickly.
Dissonance - It is dissonant for a warlock to swear to do anything of an honorable nature, or to allow honorable inidividuals to continue with there dilusions.
Appearance - Another irony is that the ebon shaded Malakim become bright white when they Fall, but not a healthy white, but rather like the white of toxic fungi. Their eyes burn a brilliant and frightening red, gleaming with devilish evil. They take handsome vessels, with hidden flaws that they only reveal in secret, they like to be charming in public, monsters in secret.

Editing Lyrics: A Morning Glory Lesson
Spring sunshine has arrived! My heart jumps with joy to hear the bird's song and smell the fresh morning air. This spring I declared to be the year that I would raise Morning Glory flowers from a seed packet! Since my brown thumb has been known to kill silk flowers, I doubted my seeds would ever become flowers.
So, I planted my seeds in a fancy crystal vase with beautiful tumble-glass in the bottom. At least if the flowers didn't make it I would have a vase filled with glass-decorated dirt that would look great.
As days passed, I was shocked to see the whole package of Morning Glories had sprouted and were quickly overgrowing the vase! WOW, I had a flower garden sprouting out of a crystal vase. Time to transplant them. Before I could transplant them, I had to untangle their roots from all the decorative glass pieces in the vase. I also had to remove the fancy, tumble glass shards to uncover the core roots of each flower growth.
After all the clutter and glamour was removed from their roots, each tiny flower could finally do what it was designed to do, bloom in the morning. The very next day the tiny Morning Glories not only bloomed, but they bloomed all day long!
My songwriting often parallels my crowed, decorative vase. I often get too caught up in finding decorative words and phrases. Much like each Morning Glory seed, my song lyrics cannot bloom with all the extra attempts to decorate the words. However, when I remove the impressive, decorative stuff from my lyrics, a stronger lyric reveals itself. Then the song lyric blooms with a more authentic meaning. I can no longer hide under layers of extra, decorative words. I must strip down my lyrics to the words that are REAL! And to write real, I must become real with myself! Then my lyrics will have more meaning to the listener.
Now I know that the impressive word for this is "editing" song lyrics. But I call it writing what is real!
How do you know when you are being real in your writing? Do you have any favorite "impressive" words you find yourself having to edit out of your lyrics?

Indictment Charging "Cocaine Base" Includes All Types, Even if "Crack" Specifically Mentioned
US v. Ramos: Ramos was convicted by a jury of several counts of distributing cocaine base and use of a firearm during a drug trafficking offense. On appeal, he made several arguments based on the theory that the Government was required to prove specifically that the drugs at issue were "crack" cocaine, as opposed to some other form of cocaine base, based on the on the indictment's charging him with distributing "cocaine base, commonly known as crack." The Fourth rejected all of those arguments, holding that the "commonly known as crack" language was surplusage and that the statute dealt with any substance with a detectable amount of cocaine base. The court also held that Ramos was not entitled to an entrapment instruction at trial and was not the victim of sentencing entrapment.

Representing longtime clients like Steven Tyler, of the band Aerosmith, and newer artists such as deadmau5, and solving complex legal and business issues relating to contracts and copyright law is all in a day's work for Dina LaPolt '90 (Music).
LaPolt, who was named one of this year's power lawyers by The Hollywood Reporter, owns and operates LaPolt Law, P.C., a boutique transactional entertainment law firm in West Hollywood, Calif. The firm specializes in representing recording artists, songwriters, producers, musicians, authors, writers, photographers and actors.
LaPolt, whose love for music began in high school, credits her participation in running the College's Concert Committee, then called Jedi Productions, for helping to further develop her career interest in music.
"I produced numerous concerts while at New Paltz, including the 1989 show featuring Joan Jett & the Blackhearts," said LaPolt. "The experience taught me to never compromise your passion or what you want to do with your life."
Prior to becoming an attorney, LaPolt was a musician and served as talent buyer/concert promoter and a personal manager, all of which, she says, have allowed her to bring a unique insight to the practice of law.
"When I was a musician, I was very focused on being able to support myself with my music. I never chose another path even when others tried to convince me to have a backup plan I could "fall back on." I never paid attention to anyone's doubts and I threw all my eggs in one basket."
She added, "Thank God I did that! Had I not focused solely on music, I would never been exposed to the music business and that is where I had my epiphany! When I started out as a musician, it never dawned on me that the business side of music was a viable career—as soon as I understood this, I started focusing on the business rather than trying to make it as a musician. I would have never gotten into music law if I hadn't had the life experience of being a musician and an artist."
In addition to practicing law, LaPolt serves as one of the attorney advisors to the Grammys Creator's Alliance and is an activist for creators and celebrities in the areas of privacy, copyright and fairness in radio. She also teaches a class titled "Legal and Practical Aspects of the Music Business" at the UCLA Extension Program and served as the editor of Building Your Artist's Brand as a Business, published by the International Association of Entertainment Lawyers in 2012.

Make way for Demi Lovato as the Queen of Disney returns to the music scene with her first single in fourteen months. 'Cool For The Summer' has been hailed as the "biggest hit of Demi's career so far" and we cannot help but agree.
'Cool For The Summer' was written by Demi herself as well as Ali Payami, Alexander Erik Kronlund and Savan Kotecha, who previously penned Demi's last hit 'Really Don't Care'. The track is produced by God of Pop Production Max Martin who has twisted his magic knobs (naughty) for everyone from Britney Spears to Jennifer Lopez to Adam Lambert.
The new single, which is the first to be lifted from Demi's forthcoming fifth album, is a fresh and infectious pop dance anthem that will have you shaking like a cool lemonade all summer long.
Demi Lovato releases 'Cool For The Summer' in the UK on September 4.

Marvel Cinematic Universe Thor Ragnarok Actor Lands Leads in DC Comics Cinematic Universe Shazam / Captain Marvel Movie!
Actor Zachary Levi has been cast to play Captain Marvel a.k.a. Shazam in the DC Comics Cinematic Universe's Shazam film.
The actor played Chuck Bartowski on the Chuck TV series of the same name for 5 seasons from 2007 to 2012.
He also played in the short-lived Heroes Reborn TV series in 2015-16.
Zachary Levi also plays Asgardian Fandral
No word on who will play Captain Marvel / Shazam's alter ego of child Billy Batson.
In recent years the Shazam / Marvel Family has expanded.
They have been at odds with Black Adam aka Teth Adam in the comics…
…who will be played by Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson and is not expected to be the standalone Shazam film, but his own Black Adam film.
I hope this diverse iteration of the Captain Marvel / Shazam Family is the one we'll eventually see on the silver screen.

1. For any couple, buying an engagement is one of the biggest investments of your lives, so it is worth spending the time to do your research to get the ring that you want. The stone, usually a diamond, is the feature piece of any engagement ring. Familiarise yourself with the 4 C's; these are the carat, colour, clarity and cut of the gemstone. You will need to balance the qualities of these factors to get the diamond that is right for you at an affordable price.
2. If you are working with a small budget, you should consider the 5th C; cubic zirconia. A cubic zirconia stone is indistinguishable from a real diamond except by an expert, but is a fraction of the cost. You could always plan on replacing the c.z. stone with a real diamond later in life when finances improve. Make sure that you receive your certificate with your diamond, the two go together.
3. Shop around. There are plenty of options available. High street stores are a good place to start as you will get a good idea of what styles are available and a good indication of price. If you are looking for vintage, there are plenty of shops in and around the Powerscourt Centre that stock a good range of upcycled rings. In recent years, a number of boutique diamond retailers have popped up off the high street. Certainly, they are worth meeting as they can offer value. However, don't feel pressured to buy just because they have invested time in you.
4. Internet retailers, are very competitive on price, but just remember that the price you see is not necessarily the price you pay. Bank charges, duties and taxes, if the ring is being shipped into Ireland, can really add to the cost. Also, be aware that the image of the ring you are viewing is not necessarily the image of the ring you are buying. If you choose to buy online, remember you can always get all your money back if you decide to return the ring.
5. Some couples choose to go to Antwerp or New York to purchase their ring. There are good deals to be got there, but just be aware that the guys you meet at the stores there are very good sales people who know that you are there for the weekend to buy and will price accordingly. Drive a hard bargain.
6. Don't forget the most important factor for you to consider when purchasing your engagement ring is price. Decide on how much you are willing to spend and stick to your budget. Good Luck!

The Crime, Conservation and Communities Database is growing into a learning platform sharing worldwide examples of communities tackling wildlife crime. If you would like to share your case study, then don't go away! Contact email@example.com and submit your experiences to help us create a dynamic learning platform of what works (and what doesn't work) in engaging communities to tackle illegal wildlife trade.

The project is working specifically with people from the Mogiya caste, a caste that is involved in hunting and collection of ethnobotanical plants from forest areas.
Rather than introducing a pre-planned scheme of collaborative management between Thung Yai government officials and Karen villagers (whose relationship is one of distrust), this project initiated a learning process directed toward incremental improvement of the status of wildlife - in particularl
Surviving Together was initially implemented in Myanmar and worked with park authorities and local communities to stop poaching and to shore up protected areas. The programme used a four pronged approach:
The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) has helped the government of Indonesia protect tigers by protecting livestock (mostly goats) from tiger attacks in villages near the Bukit Barison Selatan National Park in southwestern Sumatra.

Behind the eyeglasses, behind the wine glasses, behind the pint glasses. Why is everyone keeping me behind glass?
So I have been asked to reveal my true myself. The one with the bad jokes, the one who keeps getting in trouble in Europe, and the one who works for peanuts-wait, don't let my bosses hear that one.
So Mr Huff, when were you born, where did you grow up, what do you like to drink, who is your favorite singer? Do you really want to know all that stuff? Too bad, though David Bowie wins hands down.
Who Are You?
I think a great way to get to know a bit about me is to understand why I work for Paradocx.
Quite a few years back I had an office desk job working at a claims processing facility, auditing claims. Snoresville. I was restless, bored, and unchallenged. Trust me. it had it's perks, but I just had a really hard time staying motivated. "Patrick, Wake up!"
At the time, I started a beer blog and it was getting pretty serious. One night, at one of our infamous Christmas parties, I asked the group how many of them loved their jobs. Only one raised their hand, isn't that sad.
Work. Work. Work.
I later found out that only about 13% of Americans enjoy their careers. Well that wouldn't be so bad if we didn't spend such a large part of our life working.
I think about my wife who gets up at 7 am. Get's to work by 9 am. leaves work at 5:00 pm, and gets home at 5:30 pm. That's 10.5 hours a day set aside for her career. That's 52.5 hours per week. Most of us, including me, for quite some time, hate their jobs.
The reasons are varied, but for me, I just wanted my career to line up with my passions and bubbly personality. First, I am quite the social butterfly; I like people. Second, I love food and drink. Last but not least, third, I have an over-following river of creativity.
Will You Take Me In?
Luckily, I am able to channel all of those characteristics at Paradocx. Was I originally looking for Paradocx? Well sort of. I was building a relationship with Hard Cider. I found a cidery/winery in MD. I worked there for a short time but the commute was two hours one way. The interest remained and I found myself later looking in the same industry - Wine, Beer, or Cider.
In the meantime, I completed my Cicerone training (Sommelier for Beer), taking an endless amount of social media and online marketing courses. I have more certificates than I could possibly need.
I sent my resume to some local wineries in the Brandywine Valley. It's all about timing you know. This was August of 2014. I stopped into The Market at Liberty Place and dropped off my resume. Luckily, they called soon after and the rest is history.
Well not quite. I worked mainly in the tasting room in Landenberg, at the winery. I loved it. The staff, the overlords, the customers, but of course I wanted new challenges, and eventually they learned about my blog and newsletter talents. I jumped right in and found my true element.
I was soon offered a role developing social media graphics and banners. This was pretty new for me but I stepped up, put my big boy pants on and rose to the challenge. I have quite a bit to keep me busy and absolutely love it. They allow me to put my personality into it and to wear shorts.
The winery is growing and I plan to grow along with it. Though I think I really stopped growing at 15. Nevertheless, I enjoy it here and can't wait to see what's next.
One Final Thought
Ok. I promised not to bore you with nonsense trivial matter, but that's too bad. Here are a couple useless facts about me.
Favorite PDX wine? Yield
What food are you into now? Poke. It's like sushi in a bowl.
How tall are you? Depends who I am standing next to.
What is your favorite TV show? It involves a blue police box and a doctor.
How old are you? None of your business, but there was no internet or video games at the time. Well does Pong count?
What car do you drive? A big wheel. Try fitting a keg of beer on that, but where there is a will, there's a way!
Boxers or briefs? Depends who I am standing next to.
What's you favorite gadget? Echo Dot. Alexa, How many people read my blog?
Cheers. Find me at the winery some time. Ask for Sir Patrick. That's my official title.

²¹ More than a year later, back in Idomeni
I return more than a year after the closure — the marchers' journeys further scattered, and the tent poles broken. My cab driver sleeps in the car while I walk around. It is a very hot day, very bright. I had expected it to rain. Upon returning to the station, I realise there is a problem with my camera. I wake up my driver and we go back, over the border.
Shortly after returning, I develop the films. My film roll has been lost. I look at its unseeing shades of black, grey and white — they are mute, they resolutely refuse to speak. But I know — I attempt to know — the images they held, of those sunny hours in the sun. I retrace my steps, slowly, on the former camp grounds:
At the station, an abandoned DUTY FREE shop (photo) ; a sign CAMPING IS ONLY PERMITTED IN DESIGNATED AREAS (photo). The police station is empty, or asleep. Advancing along the train tracks : the impression, at first, that this is all, that there's nothing else (photo). But slowly, from the gravel, tent pegs emerge, and a few grey covers — uniform, shapeless, UNHCR ; I stop — a grey glove of a kid (photo). I pocket the miniature model of a car ; 30 Serbian dinars were left in the bushes ; the tricolour German flag on plastic charity bags — the German flag on Greek soil (photo). At times, the remnants of fires can be read upon the tracks (numerous fires were lit here).
Painted on wood :: OPEN THE BORDER :: The writing is fragile in the dazzling light (photo). Steel fences accompany the country's last meters : a few shreds of clothes floating from the barbed wire (photo). A small altar — no candle — next to the road (photo). Nothing moves (photo).
I walk along the border wall; it is a dried up field — a solitary tree (photo), a pump (photo) ; higher up, on the hill, the remnants of a small camp (photo) — or is rather, simply, the villagers' dumping ground ? One hesitates, for the language of ruin is not specific, here, it only coarsens details and debases.
On the site of the main camp :: among the growing bushes, one can imagine a rudimentary system of canalisation (photo). The earth was levelled in places — a guess — in order to provide suitable ground for the Great Tents. A bit further on, among the trees, clothe lines join the branches : clothes have been dried in this place.

Welcome to French Friday!!!
Francais Vendredi!!!
Today let's talk about "Pixie Dusting" skincare products!
Dr. Lucy Pure Natural Skincare…Only Tinker Bell can Pixie Dust!
"Pixie Dusting" is a term used when a potent ingredient is "dusted" into a skincare product so it can be used on the label. Unfortunately this is all too common in the skincare industry and very misleading, on top of that the products that we just spent our hard earned money on are not powerful enough to make that difference, we then lose hope and start to mistrust all skin care companies.
"Pixie Dusting" unfortunately happens in the natural skincare lines also. This is why when we buy a natural product and get sooo excited thinking we are going to make some positive changes to our skin with less chemicals and when they fail and do not work we get discourage and start looking again for that "Fountain of Youth". Thus the "Round Robin" continues!
No Worries! There is light at the end of the tunnel!
We pride ourselves here at Dr. Lucy Pure Natural Skincare in our products and that they are never, ever "Pixie Dusted!" Just potent ingredients in a powerful formulation that make a difference in your skin!
One of the best ways to try any product line is to start with samples!
All five of the Dr. Lucy products come in a Sample/Travel Kit with a generous amount in each one. The Sample/Travel Kit is FREE with a value of $24!!! You pay only $9 for shipping and handling.
Now is the right time to give your skin that youthful, dewy, pump glow!
It's Your Skin…Feed It, Love It, Live in It!

Youth leaders proclaim: Involve us every step of the way, from planning to inception to evaluation of AYSRH programs
OUAGADOUGOU, May 11, 2017—During the second and final day of the meeting—"Examining progress and planning for further evidence-informed investments in adolescent and youth sexual and reproductive health (AYSRH)"—youth leaders from the nine Ouagadougou Partnership countries closed the two-day event with calls for greater youth participation in all stages of AYSRH programming and their priorities going forward.
"Recognize that young people are the actors of today, not tomorrow," said Hadja Idrissa Bah, a youth leader from Guinea.
"We need to strengthen the capacity of youth to strengthen their participation," said Isidore Djifa Kuessan, a youth leader from Togo.
In addition to strengthening youth involvement in AYSRH programming, recommendations from the young leaders included: making sure contraceptives are free for youth; reaching vulnerable youth populations, especially those who are not in school; conducting outreach activities for youth in local languages; scaling up AYSRH services through health services at schools; and strengthening multi-sectoral collaboration, particularly with the ministry of justice.
The technical meeting, which took place May 10-11 at Sopatel Silmande in Ouagadougou, was hosted by Pathfinder International and its USAID-funded Evidence to Action (E2A) Project, with the Ouagadougou Partnership Coordination Unit, and support from USAID, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and MSD/Merck.
The proclamations resulted both from the young leaders' own experiences with AYSRH programming and advocacy in their countries, and the exercises they took part in during the workshop.
On May 9, the youth leaders participated in a pre-meeting workshop facilitated by the Torchlight Collective where they were prepared to deliberate with country teams composed of senior ministry of health officials and civil society organizations. From May 10-11, they worked with those country teams to examine their Costed Implementation Plans for Family Planning, analyzing how well they address AYSRH and how they can be enhanced to better meet youth needs through the incorporation of evidence-based best practices.
"I have learned a lot and my skills have been strengthened," said Ibrahim Ousmane Kane, a youth leader from Mauritania. "I will share [what I've learned] with young people."
A youth leader from each country then reported out to all participants about activities in those plans that should be prioritized and how those activities could be strengthened through the incorporation of best practices, including:
- Increasing access to quality youth-friendly contraceptive services, including through incorporation of youth-friendly service delivery elements into existing contraceptive services and expanding youth-focused mobile and community-based services.
- Adapting programs to reach underserved and vulnerable groups of youth, including married adolescents, first-time parents, and out-of-school youth.
- Formalizing mechanisms for meaningful youth participation in the development and implementation of Costed Implementation Plans and AYSRH programs.
- Scaling up evidence-based practices to increase family and community support for access to contraceptive information and services by young people.
- Expanding contraceptive choice for adolescents and youth through the application of WHO Medical Eligibility Criteria, removal of legal and policy barriers; providing nonjudgmental counseling services; and ensuring access to a full range of methods, including long-acting reversible contraception and DMPA-SC.
- Enhancing multi-sectoral coordination.
- Ensuring access to comprehensive sexuality education in schools and in out-of-school settings.
- Integrating gender-transformative approaches to plan and implement activities.
The outcomes of this workshop will contribute to the implementation of the Ouagadougou Partnership's Youth Think Tank Road Map, which was developed during the Partnership's 5th Annual Partners Meeting in December 2016. The outcomes will also inform preparations for the 2017 Global Summit on Family Planning in London at both country and regional levels. All partners who hosted the workshop will continue to support the nine countries to ensure youth are involved in AYSRH planning, advocacy, and programming, and that Costed Implementation Plans include evidence-based practices to best meet the needs of the region's adolescents and youth.
A small team from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) also participated in the meeting to learn about how they can adapt the methodology to hold a similar meeting in their country. The meeting in DRC is planned for June 2017.

Japan Display: Loser In The Race For Apple's OLED Business
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Japan Display (6740.Japan) tumbled 6% to 171 yen in Tokyo this morning after Citi Research downgraded the stock and cut its price target by more than half to 200 yen a share.
It has been long rumored that Apple (AAPL) will use Samsung Electronics (005930.KS/SSNLF) to manufacture OLED screens for its iPhones next year. Citi thinks Apple will adopt OLED for some 5.5" iPhones in 2017 and eventually all 5.5" models in 2018.
Japan Display is therefore a big loser in the mobile display game. It supplies LCD screens to Apple, which accounted for over half of its earnings last year. Japan Display is way behind its Korean counterparts in OLED technology.
Here are analyst Kota Ezawa's new numbers:
We lower our forecasts for FY3/17 consolidated sales to ¥1.0217trn from ¥1.0683trn and OP to ¥25.5bn from ¥30.8bn, and our FY3/18 numbers to ¥1.0892trn from ¥1.138trn for sales and to ¥18.9bn from ¥32.8bn for OP.
While Apple's pivot to OLED is not news - Japan Display has already tumbled 51% this year - Citi's new insight is that Japan Display won't be cash flow positive in the next two years. This is because Japan Display is now investing in OLED factories. It plans to spend 50 billion yen this year and 200 billion yen next. "These OLED investments will result in FCF remaining well in the red: we forecast FCF of -¥33.8bn in FY3/17 (previously -¥4.2bn) and -¥18.2bn in FY3/18 (-¥7.1bn)," wrote the analyst.
Citi's new price target of 200 yen implies 13.7 times the bank's 2017 earnings estimate.

To organize something new is always interesting. From zero to perfect circles for running, search for a sports complex, to explore the rock formations on the subject of training, exploration trails, find the gims... I Think in the valley of the river Serio all this a hundred times passed by the Italians.
However, I am just a wild migrant entered by wild wind. Even if all the forces trying to penetrate the local spirit, to participate in activities of climbers Bergamo Nembro and Albino. I try. But not enough contact, language skills, daily routine, misunderstanding of customs and traditions. It is sad to realize my place slightly to the outside. So... I have to reinvent the wheel.
So, sector by sector I explore the Valgua gorge where multiple rock walls for climbing. Running by the roads of the upper part Albino, Bondo-Petello and around lake Endine was assimilated in the process of preparation for the expeditions. On a training climb to the summits of Coca, Alben and Corna-Piana me took Paolo Valoti, Franco Testa and Matteo Galizzoli; on several mountains I climbed solely by the map. Fences in the surrounding villages were sought if there were no partners for rocks.
- So, we'll meet at seven o'clock, - I waved a hand in farewell Alessio Cossali. We just left from trainings in Oratorio Albino. - Let's make a technique.
- Need I bring a climbing shoes?
- No, sneakers is enough. We will climb and go just by foot.
So on Friday I had matarutse in the canyon, just to find a suitable wall fifteen meters. All overgrown with grass and bushes it had a good ground. There were many cracks, crevices and holes. So in Saturday morning at seven o'clock Alessio and me zealously thrashed hooks, put "friends" and "nutts", fixed Cams.
- It is necessary to remember, - I sighed. - And to explore this kind of rock. In Kazakhstan and the Himalayas are a different breed.
- Is easier here?
- No. Your limestone is more difficult - smile turned confused. - Even though it is much softer.
We organized the stations, climbed the walls with anchors, cut the air by commands - just like in the good old days. Passing along the trail climbers watched with amazement at the spectacle. However! It is alpinism. Something created by own hands - from the rules of safety and reliability. When every meter of the route brings the pleasure of a job well done. When at the end of training begins to loom the North face of Aiger or Everest - no more, no less!
And the next day from a nearby village Alzano rushed to me Aldo Mutti.
- Wanna see a new sector?! - as always he was full of energy. - Let's go to Vertova?!
What so! Let's do it! Twenty minutes later we found ourselves in an interesting place - cave of San-Patricio. In the slope above the valley was an old marble mine, but now it was adapted for climbing purposes. The place was suitable for a picnic on the roadside, warm and Sunny day was the best proof of that. Strange, but we were just two visitors only. Yes sometimes stopped to look at athletes different tourists in cars and motorcycles.
- Get out by the overhanging hold! - advised Aldo. - And then a hole on the right!
- Am full of critics, - I muttered. - So many fresh routes, it is possible to scroll it on-sight.
We climbed as a leaders one by one. In a result for a few hours we managed seven runs - mostly 6b. And for a snack managed to do what had one year dreamed of - to ride 6c on-sight again. It was a pleasure. When the feet are holding vertical, and hands are fixing is just for the minuscule. Despite the fact that the internal looseness off scale high, I flowed harmoniously as a quiet warm wind over the dark rock. And yet... three weeks ago in the La-Sportiva office recived shoes "Cobra" - from the first steps I fell in love with it.
- Right, Dennis! Right, - whispered from the bottom Aldo. - Is there a gap, and then a hole just for one finger.
"My God! - stubbornly I was silent. - Is better to climb for the left." And was rewarded with a small carna allowed to hold the body in equilibrium, to cling to the wall, right hand went to the pickup... it was too small for two hands, had to remove two fingers of the right palm, left to substitute. And then elegantly two-toed feet to stand under the overhang to catch up... and... and! Substituted, was the second leg suddenly Salsola marble. Wah! Derngate! At heart, however, I don't even flinch...
I tried to resist micro-plate, gently returned the leg to the point, and slightly shifted the equilibrium to the right. Quietly swung, and got to "tram handles" on the vertical. This is the way to put a "Cobra", to believe on friction. Ah! By the tram is impossible me to pull off from here.
- Cool, Den! - already at the bottom congratulated me Aldo. - we can to climb on 7a at next week.
- After a trip to Calabria scored two extra pounds, - I said. - There is a kitchen so that yum! Need to get rid of them, then will think about sevens.
- Perfectly! is very good training with additional weight
On the road in the car we laughed and joked. The surroundings of Bergamo built for adventure. Are beautiful mountains and rocks around, many friends. It means that is coming time to discover a new project. Challenging, exciting, interesting. What, in fact, trained and spend days on the rocks. Tearing the skin, remove veins, stretch ligaments and estivate muscles to the trash. The project of self-exploration.
