Aurora Cannabis has signed a deal to supply medical marijuana to Shoppers Drug Mart.Gavin Young/Postmedia News files

TORONTO — Licensed producer Aurora Cannabis has signed a deal to supply medical marijuana to Shoppers Drug Mart.

The agreement is subject to Health Canada’s approval of the pharmacy chain’s application to dispense medical cannabis.

Aurora’s products are expected to be sold online, as current Canadian regulations prohibit the sale of medical marijuana in pharmacy locations.

Shoppers Drug Mart’s deal with Aurora comes after it recently signed similar deals with licensed medical marijuana producers Aphria, MedReleaf and Tilray.

The pharmacy chain’s parent company Loblaw Companies Ltd. applied in October 2016 for a license to dispense medical marijuana.

Other pharmacies have also lined up similar supply agreements, such as deals between Maricann Group. and Lovell Drugs and CanniMed Therapeutics and PharmaChoice.

2018 Social Media trends $PEEK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:27 PM on Tuesday, February 27th, 2018
  • Live streaming will continue to dominate social media
  • Video will continue to grow as it has for the past couple years
Milo Loftin

Writer, entrepreneur and social media influencer Natalie Zfat joined Good Morning San Diego to talk about the the social media trends of 2018.

When she’s not engaging with her 450K followers, Natalie loves sharing her entrepreneurial thought leadership at conferences and universities, including Carnegie Mellon, Parsons: NYU Stern School of Business, Internet of Things World and SXSW.writer, entrepreneur and social media influencer with a professional mantra that success means never doing the same thing twice (unless it was really fun the first time).

The top five social media trends for 2018.

5. Ephemeral Content will be dominating social media. Ephemeral content is content that is short-lived, typically expiring in 24 hrs like that of Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook stories. Viewed as more authentic by viewers than long living content or branded and sponsored posts.

4. Video will continue to grow as it has for the past couple years. They have been shown to promote higher interactions, likes, retweets, shares, etc. – integrating video content into social strategies and tying it into all written content will be pivotal in 2018.

3. Influencers aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. In 2018 expect to see more brands embracing influencers and in doing so finding more authentic ways to connect with current and new audiences.

2. Live streaming will continue to dominate social media for an array of brands from news networks to fashion designers. This will begin to be a more integral part of social media strategies for smaller and medium-sized brands, who can share unique content to build and grow their audiences.

1. Regulations: We are also likely to see a change in the way that social media platforms are managed. There is still a need to more successfully regulate inappropriate content – and the Russian bots that have promoted rhetoric across social platforms have boosted this need. We may see changes to social media agreements and how our content is viewed and approved.

Rising Chinese imports push #Copper higher $LBSR $TTC.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:08 AM on Tuesday, February 27th, 2018

  • Price of copper rose on Monday as higher imports to China and strong economic data cemented expectations of solid demand from the world’s biggest metals consumer
  • Rising global stock markets also fuelled appetite for riskier assets including metals, said Societe Generale analyst Robin Bhar
  • Price of copper, used in power and construction, surged last year on expectations that lower scrap imports to China would increase demand for refined metal

The price of copper rose on Monday as higher imports to China and strong economic data cemented expectations of solid demand from the world’s biggest metals consumer. Rising global stock markets also fuelled appetite for riskier assets including metals, said Societe Generale analyst Robin Bhar.

“Both macro and micro factors are good,” he said. Benchmark three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange closed 0.2 percent up at $7,110 a tonne, not farom a four-year high of $7,312.50 touched in January.

Copper imports to China rose 13 percent from December to 314,525 tonnes in January, while refined nickel imports doubled to 26,691 tonnes and refined zinc imports surged by 287 percent to 67,111 tonnes. Prices of nickel and zinc, used in the steel industry, also rose on the strong import data and a surge in Chinese steel futures after reports that China’s top steelmaking city will extend production curbs.

Nickel finished 1.2 percent up at $13,925 a tonne, close to three-year highs, and zinc ended near its highest since 2007 after gaining 0.8 percent to $3,531.50. Chinese imports of scrap metal, meanwhile, fell to the lowest level in nearly two years in January after restrictions were introduced. Scrap copper imports were down 28 percent year on year.

The price of copper, used in power and construction, surged last year on expectations that lower scrap imports to China would increase demand for refined metal. Robust economic data reinforced expectations of strong demand for metals. Prices for new homes rose in January and a poll showed that China’s manufacturing sector is expected to register another month of relatively solid growth in February.

Bets on higher copper prices increased on the COMEX exchange, with funds’ net long position rising for the first time this year in the week to February 20. LME aluminium finished down 0.1 percent at $2,138 a tonne but still within sight of a six-year high of $2,290.50 touched in January.

“With no apparent shortage of supply, we expect prices to ease back in 2018,” Capital Economics analyst Simona Gambarini said in a note. SUPPLY: Global primary production rose in January, according to the International Aluminium Institute. There was also an increase in exports of semi-processed aluminium products from China, the world’s largest producer. And in the United States a smelter was poised to restart idled production if Washington curbs imports. LME lead closed 1.9 percent up at $2,580 and tin finished down 0.1 percent at $21,625.

  • Finnish app Recolor is seizing a 3D coloring app craze in the US.
  • Popular among young women, Recolor frequently ranks among the top 100 grossing apps in the US.
  • “People are tired of gaming, they want interaction,“ says a Recolor investor, noting a lessening interest in games.
  • Recolor’s growth paints a picture of shifting app demographics, use and monetization in the Entertainment category. 

Smartphones aren’t generally seen as relaxation devices.

But if you ask Tero Kuittinen, an investor in viral coloring app called Recolor, that’s changing: It’s indeed the pursuit of relaxation that has gotten millions of Americans hooked on the app and its myriad motifs ranging from Venice Carnivals to My Little Pony.

“Coloring app appeal is in stress relief – they are used to alleviate anxiety,” says Kuittinen, whose New York-based investment firm, Kuuhubb, recently bought Recolor’s parent app studio, Sumoing.

Recolor has tapped into a veritable explosion in the digital coloring space. Since its launch in 2015, the Finnish app has gained more than four million users in the US and is now making north of $1 million per month from a clique of paying users – mostly college-educated women aged 18 to 44.

‘The most diverse place in App Land’

Nordic gaming hits like Candy Crush and Minecraft may still top app charts, but in the past two years, the rise of apps that enable users to paint, sing, decorate has been total.

Coloring in particular: According to Sumoing founder Ilkka Teppo – whose team found their first global hit in Recolor after picking up on how attached their wives were to coloring books – the niche is fast supplementing games in the US.          “[Coloring] is entertainment, but with a more creative touch. It’s not about competition, but creativity and relaxation,” Teppo told GoodNewsFromFinland earlier.

Gaming app sessions declined 16 percent last year versus a 43 percent surge in the ‘Music, Media and Entertainment’ category, according to Yahoo-owned database Flurry. Flurry

Between January 2015 and March 2016, coloring app downloads in the US went from nearly zero to 10,5 million, LA Times, citing Nielsen research, reported. The growth has kept pace: according to AppAnnie, during many days last December, the US iPad Top 5 charts featured three coloring apps.

“I think people are growing tired of passive gaming; they want interaction and use their phones to create things,“ says Kuittinen, whose Recolor and its main rival Colorfy have captured most growth.

And it’s a fast-developing market with new trends and features popping up constantly: “Community building, color-by-numbers, and now, 3D coloring booming since the end of January,” Kuittinen, an app industry veteran, says. “This space is like the Galápagos Islands. The most dynamic and diverse place in App Land.”

Coloring is just one part of Kuuhubb’s bigger strategy of investing in a fast-growing category of lifestyle apps for women; it also recently acquired interior design app Neybers.

Shortly after launching an Instagram-inspired redesign of the app in early February, Recolor went from 130th to 17th place on the US iPad Appstore, surging past YouTube and Spotify. Recolor

Finland’s next big app sensation?

Recolor, which estimates it will have 1 billion tasks completed in its app 2018, has not only managed to make women addicted to its myriad coloring tasks – it’s also pulling in major advertisers. In contrast to “the outmoded” and “static” state of the gaming app industry, Kuittinen says, the creative app revolution opens up new ad opportunities.

For example, Lionsgate’s recent ‘My Little Pony: The Movie’ ad campaign in Recolor involved sponsored movie trailers, banner ads and sponsored ad tasks. This way “people will spend a good ten minutes inside the brands’ visual universe,” Kuittinen says. Recolor’s next big growth market, India, will by contrast depend almost entirely on influencers.

With its well-educated female core demographic, Recolor has attracted brand partners like Disney, Cosmopolitan and Lionsgate. Cosmopolitan / Recolor

Besides its growing ad business, Recolor’s other trump card in the “global war” playing out among hundreds competing apps, is advanced technology: “Our 3D pictures recreate the transparency of glass, the gloss of metal; lights and shades,” Kuittinen says.

After Supercell’s hit ‘Clash of Clans’, could Finland’s next big app sensation be a digital coloring book?
