LONGMONT, Colo. -- Rosemary Bieker is the owner of a boutique store called Ivy Rose.“Ivy Rose has been in business a little over three years, and it’s a boutique full on on-trend clothing for women of all generations,” Bieker said.Bieker was inspired to start her own boutique after helping people look their best as a personal shopper for 15 years.“The store is a culmination of everything I’ve done in my career.”However, owning a small business is a fairly new endeavor for Bieker. So when the pandemic hit, it hit hard.“Business is down 50% from last year, so that in itself is a financial challenge,” Bieker said.Even with gloves, hand sanitizer and social distancing rules to stay safe, the truth is, fewer people are out shopping. Bieker says she had to learn how to do business virtually. The first step was upping her social media game.“I think I worked harder from March 17, when we were closed, until we reopened, than I ever have in the history of my store. Because you’re learning – like I didn’t know how to make a video, let alone a video of myself."After improving her social media, she knew she had to dig a little deeper to keep customers engaged. However, she didn’t want to go the e-commerce route – selling clothes through a website.“My passion is working with people and helping them one-on-one and wardrobing them and getting the feedback from them," Bieker said. "And e-commerce you basically put things in boxes, you ship them out.”Bieker doesn’t stand alone. Director of Denver Metro Small Business Development Center China Califf says most small businesses in retail thrive on the one-on-one connection with customers. That’s what sets them apart.“Maybe they didn’t have a product line that transitioned well to e-commerce but I’ve seen a lot of businesses that have been like ‘OK, now I have to enter into that space so I’m going to create something that’s aligned with what I already sell in my business and we’ll start with that,'” Califf said.Califf says the small business development center has received request after request of businesses seeking support to move business online. The center offers free consulting from industry experts and provides training courses.At Ivy Rose, Bieker found her own creative online solution. She calls it virtual shopping.“I schedule an appointment through Zoom," Bieker said. "And then what I do is I tour the store with the person just like if you were walking through the store yourself. So I go from rack to rack to rack. And that sounds overwhelming, but really it isn’t, especially if you’re interacting with the person.”Then Bieker rings up the purchase and can get it to the customer through shipping, curbside pickup or delivery if it’s local. Califf says the challenging growth small businesses have faced this year will help them in the future when competing with large companies that sell their products online.“It’s here to stay probably because when you think about diversifying your products and your sales channels, this is a good way to do it," Califf said. "And it’s an unfortunate time for people to be forced into that, but some of it will be lasting.”Bieker says her system has attracted new customers from out of state and she’s confident virtual shopping will continue even after the pandemic.“It’s fun. I enjoy it. It’s not that much different than someone being in the store.” 3377

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - On the day he was scheduled to meet with Los Angeles Police Department brass to discuss ways of stopping gang violence, rapper Nipsey Hussle was instead being mourned Monday by musicians, athletes and politicians.Hussle, 33, was gunned down in broad daylight around 3:20 p.m. Sunday in the 3400 block of West Slauson Avenue, in front of The Marathon Clothing store he founded in 2017 near Crenshaw Boulevard in South Los Angeles. Two other men were wounded in the shooting.Hussle had been scheduled to meet Monday with LAPD Chief Michel Moore and Police Commissioner Steve Soboroff -- a meeting Hussle had requested.``We were meeting at the request of (Hussle) with him and (Jay-Z's production company Roc Nation) ... to talk about ways he could help stop gang violence and help us help kids,'' Soboroff wrote on his Twitter page Sunday night. ``I'm so very sad.''Soboroff also wrote: ``RIP sir. Many of us will join together to stop whatever caused your and so many other tragic unnecessary killings.''Although some reports initially indicated the meeting would still be held Monday afternoon, KNX Newsradio reported the gathering was being rescheduled so Hussle's relatives can attend.Soboroff and Moore, along with other LAPD leaders and detectives from the gang and robbery-homicide divisions are expected to hold a news conference at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday to give an update on the investigation and address ``the surge in violence in the city of Los Angeles,'' according to the LAPD.Witnesses said a young man approached Hussle and two other men before firing a number of shots and fleeing to a nearby vehicle. One of the two wounded men was hospitalized in stable condition but the other declined to be taken to a hospital, sources from the Los Angeles police and fire departments told City News Service.Surveillance video from a business across the street obtained by TMZ shows what appears to be a suspect walking up to the clothing store, where multiple people are standing outside. The shooting occurs quickly afterward, although it cannot be clearly seen on the video. But one person can be seen falling to the ground, and at least three people are seen running from the parking lot.The Grammy-nominated Hussle, a father of two whose birth name was Ermias Joseph Asghedom, was pronounced dead at a hospital. The coroner's office reported that he died of gunshot wounds to his head and body, and his death was officially deemed a homicide.The suspect was described only as a young black male, LAPD's Chris Ramirez told reporters.Moore, speaking to reporters Monday at the crime scene, said he believes the gunman and Hussle were acquainted, meaning the shooting was likely the result of a personal dispute.``This was not a chance encounter. We don't think this was a sudden engagement,'' Moore said. ``... We are pursuing a number of investigative leads. We're looking at video evidence. We're looking to identify a vehicle.''``... I want to thank the community that has immediately begun reaching out to us with tips and leads. I need those to continue. More importantly, I think the person who's responsible for this, the people involved in this, they know who they are and they're watching this right now. And I'd ask them to surrender, and turn themselves in.''A coalition of African-American community leaders held a news conference near the crime scene Monday morning to call on the shooter to surrender to authorities. They also called for an immediate end to black-on-black violence, Project Islamic Hope CEO Najee Ali said.Hundreds of people gathered throughout the day at the shooting scene to pay their respects to Hussle, calling him a champion of the community, playing his music and leaving candles and flowers.Hussle was from the Crenshaw neighborhood and worked on music with members of both the Crips and Blood gangs, TMZ reported.Before he was shot, Hussle tweeted: ``Having strong enemies is a blessing.''After news broke that Hussle died, a stream of condolences flooded the Internet.This doesn’t make any sense! My spirit is shaken by this! Dear God may His spirit Rest In Peace and May You grant divine comfort to all his loved ones! ??????I’m so sorry this happened to you @nipseyhussle pic.twitter.com/rKZ2agxm2a— Rihanna (@rihanna) April 1, 2019 4304

LONDON (AP) — Scottish actor Sean Connery, considered by many to have been the best James Bond, has died, according to the BBC, who cited his family. He was 90. In a varied career, Connery played James Bond seven times, starting with “Dr. No” in 1962. His portrayal defined the suave secret agent for a generation of fans. He also had major roles in films including “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” “Highlander” and “The Hunt for Red October.” Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she was “heartbroken” at the news. 536

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The number of homeless people counted across Los Angeles County jumped 12% over the past year to nearly 59,000, with more young and old people and families on the streets, officials said Tuesday.The majority of the homeless people were found within the city of Los Angeles, which saw a 16% increase to 36,300, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority said while presenting January's annual count to the county Board of Supervisors.The previous tally found a slight decrease in the homeless population.Two years ago, voters passed a tax hike and housing bond to make massive investments to help solve the homeless crisis.Officials said Tuesday the same people have not remained on the streets.The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, a county agency, said it helped 21,631 people move into permanent housing during 2018 — a pace that could rapidly end homelessness if economic pressures had not pushed thousands more into the streets.About a quarter of the people became homeless for the first time in the past year, and about half of those cited economic hardship as the primary cause, the authority said.To catch up, cities need to overcome resistance to the placement of housing and shelters, officials said.Supervisor Janice Hahn called the numbers "disheartening.""Even though our data shows we are housing more people than ever, it is hard to be optimistic when that progress is overwhelmed by the number of people falling into homelessness," Hahn said.The Los Angeles County numbers mirror similar point-in-time tallies across California, as state officials struggle to address a lack of affordable housing. In addition, officials said, wages among lower income people have not kept up with the rising cost of living.The count found a 24% increase in homeless youth, defined as people under 25, and a 7% jump in people 62 or older.Officials estimate about 29% of people experiencing homelessness in L.A. County are mentally ill or coping with substance abuse problems.About two-thirds of all people on the streets are male, just under one-third are female, and about 2% identify as transgender or gender non-conforming. 2159

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A homeless man is facing a murder charge in what authorities say was a random attack on a California father, who was stabbed in the neck as his 5-year-old daughter sat on his lap in a crowded beachside steakhouse.Jamal Jackson, 49, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of 35-year-old Anthony Mele. He was being held in Ventura County jail on a .5 million bail. It was unclear Saturday if he had an attorney to speak on his behalf.Mele and his wife were eating dinner with their daughter Wednesday at Aloha Steakhouse in Ventura. The girl was sitting on her father's lap when prosecutors say Jackson walked up and stabbed Mele in the neck.Prosecutor Richard Simon said patrons and a restaurant employee followed Jackson out of the restaurant, even though he still had the knife. They kept track of him until police arrived and arrested him.Mele was taken to a hospital and died Thursday after being taken off life support."It's horrible," Simon said. "You don't think you're going to be killed when you go out to dinner at a nice restaurant with your family and you didn't do anything."Simon said the two men had not interacted before the attack."He was just sitting there with his daughter in his lap," Simon said. "You're not supposed to die that way."Mele's loved ones started a GoFundMe page to help raise money for a funeral and to support his wife and daughter.Mele's Facebook page was filled with photos of his daughter and said he was a manager at an AT&T store.Police confirmed Saturday that a bystander reported a man who turned out to be Jackson for disruptive behavior several hours before the stabbing.According to the bystander, a man was yelling on the promenade not far from the restaurant about three hours before the attack.Patrol officers were out on other calls so command center staff monitored the man — who turned out to be Jackson — via a pier security camera system for more than 20 minutes before determining he didn't seem to be a threat, police said.Police are asking anyone who spoke with Jackson during that time to contact investigators.The killing prompted the Ventura City Council to increase police patrols in the area and add staff members to monitor security cameras, among other measures."We are extremely disheartened and infuriated by this criminal attack," Mayor Neal Andrews said in a statement. "We will not tolerate this in our community. Nothing is more important than the safety of our visitors, residents and businesses."If convicted, Jackson faces up to 55 years in prison. He has prior convictions for burglary and unlawful sexual intercourse dating back to the 1990s, according to online court records. 2696
