Title: #Scandal
Author: Sarah Ockler
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Publication date: June 17, 2014
Lucy's learned some important lessons from tabloid darling Jayla Heart's all-too-public blunders: Avoid the spotlight, don't feed the Internet trolls, and keep your secrets secret. The policy has served Lucy well all through high school, so when her best friend Ellie gets sick before prom and begs her to step in as Cole's date, she accepts with a smile, silencing about ten different reservations. Like the one where she'd rather stay home shredding online zombies. And the one where she hates playing dress-up. And especially the one where she's been secretly in love with Cole since the dawn of time.
When Cole surprises her at the after party with a kiss under the stars, it's everything Lucy has ever dreamed of… and the biggest BFF deal-breaker ever. Despite Cole's lingering sweetness, Lucy knows they'll have to 'fess up to Ellie. But before they get the chance, Lucy's own Facebook profile mysteriously explodes with compromising pics of her and Cole, along with tons of other students' party indiscretions. Tagged. Liked. And furiously viral.
By Monday morning, Lucy's been branded a slut, a backstabber, and a narc, mired in a tabloid-worthy scandal just weeks before graduation.
Lucy's been battling undead masses online long enough to know there's only one way to survive a disaster of this magnitude: Stand up and fight. Game plan? Uncover and expose the Facebook hacker, win back her best friend's trust, and graduate with a clean slate.
There's just one snag—Cole. Turns out Lucy's not the only one who's been harboring unrequited love...
This book was so unexpected, I loved it so much! more than I thought I would. As soon as I read the synopsis I knew this book is for me. However I haven't loved Sarah Ockler's last two books (The Book of Broken Hearts and Bittersweet) that much. I did love Twenty Boy Summer which is why I was waiting for that magic to appear again, and I'm glad I picked #Scandal up because it did finally make a reappearance.
In #Scandal, the main protagonist, Lucy ends up going as the substitute date for Cole, her best friend's boyfriend, as a favor to her. Lucy doesnt want to because a. she'd rather be playing online and killing zombies with her virtual friends and b. she's had a crush on Cole ever since he moved to their town and feels uncomfortable doing this. Still, Lucy could never say no to her best friend and ended up going. This is when the book starts, at prom. Lucy tries to stay away from Cole but somehow Cole always sticks by her.. I thought that was absolutely adorable and totally showed me that Cole actually might like Lucy.. of course I completely condemn cheating in my books but the way this was presented (and more info you get later on in the book) had my heart softening towards the two. It's more complicated than just a kiss and initially while I thought those two obviously should end up together I was a bit peeved at the cheating aspect.. because even if it was a kiss and it was brief.. still.. cheating is a no no for me. So basically, trust me when I say that it isn't what it looks like.
Ok now that the cryptic talk is over, I can start making sense. So next day Lucy finds out that someone uploaded all the discretions of her classmates at the after prom party, including her kiss with Cole, on her Facebook page.. lo and behold.. turns out her phone is missing. Of course being set in high school and, no offense, most high schoolers being immature, no one listened to Lucy when she said she didn't upload the photos and why the hell would she sabotage her friendship to do that? Since no one believes her and her best friend isn't talking to her anymore, she sets off trying to find out who screwed her over.
So discussing the plot and characters, I loved all the characters. I loved Lucy, even though she is flawed, she really felt guilty about the kiss and didn't make up any excuse about it.. I also love her best friend.. she didn't turn into the mean girl and tried to ruin Lucy's life.. she was surprisingly very mature and civil about it.. my heart hurt for her. Then there's Cole.. I initially thought he would turn into a douche but he was so sweet and caring and brought up the whole issue of why should the girl always get the blame (people started slut shaming her) when he was an equal participant in the kiss. What's worse is that all the slut shaming came from the girls.. and again, Lucy's best friend brought up the topic of how would these girls feel if that was their sisters getting slut shamed and ridiculed? I just felt that on top of all the fluff, many issues of our current society regarding women and inequality were made aware of. There's also e(VIL) who are a group of high schoolers that think technology is a way the government is controlling them and shouldn't be used.. they're the ones that don't have phones.. don't use the internet, or have Facebooks.. and that believe technology is evil. I initially thought they were so weird and random.. but when I got to know them.. I just loved them.. especially when I found out that one of them is actually a hacker! like what? how does that even make sense? haha.
As for the mystery, I personally had an initial hunch that was buried but later it turned out to be just that.. so I was surprised by who did it. But this book isn't really about the mystery.. it is more about the character growth and the friends and how different people can become friends and live harmoniously together. It is about people who make mistakes but try to make up for them.. about people that are wronged but try to forgive. It is about being honest and not making excuses for yourself or others.. it is truly about being human as well as the best person you can be. So overall I think #Scandal was a very fun and hilarious read but it also conveyed some important messages for our current society.

Porsche sales in the US were up 32 per cent in January, continuing the positive trend for Germany's most profitable car maker. The big news though is how demand increased for the Boxster and Cayman, which in recent years have been almost insignificant in the greater scheme of things.
Last year the Panamera/Cayenne outsold the Boxster/Cayenne 10 to 1 with over 80,000 vehicles versus just 8,000.
In the first month of 2013, sales of Cayennes in the US climbed 51 per cent, Panameras dropped 16.3 per cent, 911s were up 28.7 per cent and the Boxster/Cayman was up a whopping 127 per cent.
Porsche still sold fewer Boxster/Caymans than Panamera (393 vs 588), and although unclear from Porsche's sales figures we suspect the numbers will consist mainly of Boxsters – since the all-new Cayman doesn't go on sale until February/March.
It's uncomfortable seeing a company like Porsche sell way more SUVs and saloons than traditional sports cars, so it's good to see some of the recent trends reversed.

In early January, Joy-Ann Reid invited Pastor Mark Burns to be a guest on her MSNBC show to discuss disparaging comments that President Trump had made about Haitian and African immigrants. The pastor, a defender of Mr. Trump, refused to acknowledge a vulgarity the president had applied to those countries, as confirmed by two senators. Mr. Burns interrupted Ms. Reid when she spoke and talked over her when she tried to argue. Not one to brook insults from a guest, Ms. Reid called for a "time out" and told Pastor Burns he was wasting her time.
"You're wasting my time," he replied.
"Oh, well, then, if I'm wasting your time," she said, "then goodbye."
The interview abruptly ended.
It was a classically no-nonsense performance from Ms. Reid, 49, who has hosted "AM Joy" weekend mornings on MSNBC since 2016. She is a frequent substitute for other show hosts, including Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow. She wrote a 2015 book on politics and race, "Fracture: Barack Obama, the Clintons and the Racial Divide" — "provocative and well-argued," Kirkus Reviews said — and teaches a class at Syracuse University exploring race, gender and the media.
In the Trump era, Ms. Reid, the daughter of immigrants, has emerged as a heroine of the resistance to his leadership. And her forceful questioning style, matching that on conservative outlets like Fox, has resonated with MSNBC's viewers. She is popular on social media with fans who fondly call themselves #reiders. Her morning show on Saturday averages nearly 1 million weekly viewers and, for the last four months, she has bested MSNBC's competitor CNN, according to Nielsen, which tracks television ratings (granted, her competition then is general newsroom updates rather than another headline personality).
"Our prime directive is to constantly remind people that this is not normal and not to allow it to become mundane," Ms. Reid said in a recent interview at MSNBC's studios in Midtown Manhattan, referring to the architecture of the Trump presidency. Each week she makes sure to discuss the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. "We feel like one of our duties is to keep that story top of mind because it's fundamentally about whether we truly choose our own leaders," she said.
Ms. Reid was born in Brooklyn and raised in Denver alongside two siblings mostly by their mother, a college professor and nutritionist from Guyana; their father left the family when she was a child for his native Democratic Republic of Congo. "He was a phone father," Ms. Reid said. At 17, she was accepted to Harvard University, where she planned to study medicine.
But her mother died of breast cancer three weeks before school started. "I failed a bunch of classes," Ms. Reid said. "I was just depressed." She took a year off, returned to Brooklyn — staying with an aunt and working a temp job at Columbia Pictures — and then switched her major to documentary filmmaking.
"I was thinking Hollywood movies," she said. "Come to find out Harvard doesn't do that. So I had to study documentary."
Ms. Reid had also always been captivated by politics. In the late 1990s she moved to Miami to write for a local television morning show. There, she became a fixture among South Florida lawmakers. She was involved in minority outreach for voter education and blogged. In 2005 she met James Thomas, a longtime disc jockey and radio veteran known as James T, who hired her to produce a talk radio show for listeners in the black community.
"I had to convince her of the power we had in radio in Miami," Mr. Thomas said in an interview. "We were going to go to places people didn't want to go." This included Opa-locka, a town marred by gang violence and political corruption whose residents she interviewed. "We had Lou Dobbs on and Marco Rubio," Mr. Thomas said, laughing, referring to the conservative Fox Business Network host and the Republican Florida senator. "She loved to debate."
In 2011, Ms. Reid was named managing editor of theGrio.com, a news and analysis website aimed at an African-American audience. (By then she was also writing op-ed columns for The Miami Herald and appearing as a commentator on cable news.) Chris Witherspoon, now a correspondent for the movie ticket seller Fandango.com, was rewriting news briefs for the site when she arrived. "Joy said, 'You are way too fabulous to be behind your desk,'" he recalled. She promoted him to entertainment editor.
When the singer Whitney Houston died in 2012, MSNBC called Ms. Reid to speak about it on camera, Mr. Witherspoon said. "Joy said, 'I think you should do it,'" he recalled. He did so for a week and went on to appear on other talk and news shows. Ms. Reid, he said, "gave me my voice when I didn't have one of my own."
Despite a hectic schedule, Ms. Reid makes time for an extended family. "She is very girlfriend-y," said Jacque Reid, a television personality who is not related to Joy but has been close with her for a long time. She remembered a party her friend, who lives in Brooklyn, had in December. There were some celebrities, sure. "She also had the women who helped raise her, her cousins and their children. Those are the V.I.P.s in her life."
Ms. Reid got her television break in 2014 when she was hired by MSNBC to create a daily show called "The Reid Report." It was short-lived, though, canceled the next year because of poor ratings (along with Ronan Farrow's). "It was stressful because it was daily," Ms. Reid said. "There was a lot more management eyes on us. And when it ended, you know, it was not fun. But it did enable me to do something I hadn't done in my career, which was to actually be a field reporter."
Many of her stories focused on race in America. In 2015, she went to Mississippi to investigate the death of a man found hanging from a tree, suspended by a bedsheet, which some people said could have been a lynching. "I literally have never had an experience where I felt almost like I was waking through a haunting," she said. "You could just feel the ghosts of Mississippi past everywhere you went."
A few months later, Ms. Reid investigated why black churches were being burned down in Southern states, visiting a church in South Carolina that was across the street from a dark forest. "You could almost transport yourself back to the 19th century and see the enslaved people running, you know?" she said. "Everything about it had this omnipresent sort of pallor that I think America doesn't want to deal with."
She traveled to 10 states in eight months. "I think it was good for her," said Phil Griffin, president of MSNBC. "I tried to explain that to her. I said, 'You've got talent. Don't worry.'" In May 2016, she was named the host of "AM Joy." The show replaced one hosted by Melissa Harris-Perry, who got into a fight with MSNBC over remarks Ms. Harris-Perry made in an email accusing the cable network of trying to silence her and take editorial control, with suggested "racial implications."
Ms. Reid has hardly neglected the topic of race, but she also focuses on gender and culture. At the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland she said she watched men walking up and down the street with semiautomatic rifles "because they wanted us to know they had guns" ("us" meaning the media). She recalled a white woman on the elevator praising Mr. Trump for his anti-immigration stance.
"I should have known then that Trump would win," Ms. Reid said.
A week after she sparred on air with Pastor Burns, Ms. Reid focused on another topic: the national Women's March. Four screens in the studio showed live feeds from Denver, Washington, New York and Chicago, where women (and some men) poured into city streets, most protesting the policies of Mr. Trump. Ms. Reid's talk show panel was made up of women that reflected conservative, minority and liberal viewpoints.
In her class for Syracuse, which she teaches in Manhattan, Ms. Reid addresses the precarious definition of what the president calls "fake news," and why it is a dangerous concept. "Now, something is 'true' because you like it," she said. "If the information is displeasing to you or makes you uncomfortable, or is in opposition to your ideology, then it is 'fake.'" She is concerned consumers of news will isolate themselves, believing only what makes them feel good. "That's the problem," she said.
For her, Twitter is a tool to combat critics. Of Mr. Trump's State of the Union address, she tweeted that his goal appeared to normalize his presidency by using church, family and the military as "the tropes of 1950s-era nationalism." The president's son Donald Trump Jr. weighed in, saying his father embraced values hated by liberals. Her response? "Trump doesn't actually embody any of the values he's harkening back to," she wrote.
Still she conceded that she shares a characteristic with the president: Some people criticize her for being too reactive on Twitter. She laughed when asked about it. "I probably tweet too much and tweet my sort of reactions to things sometimes too quickly," she said. "And MSNBC agrees."
("Sometimes less is more," Mr. Griffin said when asked.)
Recently Ms. Reid got into a spat with David French, a conservative writer, after she mischaracterized a story he wrote about the risk of a nuclear attack on urban centers. "'Don't worry, it will only kill Democrats and minorities,'" she wrote in a tweet, which has since been deleted. Mr. French shot back that she had misconstrued his comments. Ms. Reid had not read his article, but a summary from another news outlet. She apologized.
"Everybody's human," she said. "We all are guilty of skimming the articles or reading the headlines."
In December, she was widely criticized for decade-old blog posts that mocked former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist. In the mid-2000s, she wrote that he was a closeted gay man whose marriage to a woman gave him political cover. She apologized to him and others she may have disappointed. Mr. Crist accepted her apology, on — where else — Twitter.
"The irony is that I actually really like Charlie Crist," Ms. Reid said. "He's such a lovely guy." But in today's polarized political climate, everything is fodder for critics and opponents.
"People don't just want to disagree with the people they disagree with," Ms. Reid said. "They want to destroy them."
In the summer, Ms. Reid came across a quote from Octavia Butler, an American fiction writer whose novel "Parable of the Talents" explored religious intolerance. To sum it up, Ms. Butler warned people to choose their leaders carefully. Ms. Reid pinned the quote to her Twitter account as a reminder to call out hypocrisy when she sees it in the Trump era.
"I think people should think more deeply about what they're electing, about who they're electing," she said. "Because that person becomes the embodiment of America."

NRLM - <MSSRF> Partnership
Towards Empowerment of Women Farmers in Vidarbha
From Dec 2011 to Nov 2017
MKSP programme of MSSRF in Vidarbha Region
M S Swaminathan Research Foundation initiated the "Programme for the Empowerment of Women Farmers", the "Mahila Kisan Sashaktikaran Pariyojana (MKSP)", for empowering women farmers, including the widows of farmers who had committed suicide, in Wardha and Yavatmal districts of Vidarbha region, in 2007. The programme aims at creating an environment of hope that will help alleviate the mood of distress and empower women farmers to make key decisions pertaining to their agricultural practices and their households. The empowerment measures cover a wide range of areas related to: enhancing the productivity, profitability and sustainability of small-scale rain-fed farming; promoting household food security; strengthening institutions at the grassroots; and creating awareness on rights and entitlements.
MKSP is a membership-based programme wherein women farmers are formed into groups at the village level, called in Marathi as Jagrit Mahila Shetkari Samitis. The groups have operational guidelines, which ensure that their affairs are democratically managed, based on clearly spelt out objectives, norms, and rules. Each 'women farmers' group' is formed in such a way that it has a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 20 members. As of March 2014, there are 215 samitis spread across 60 villages in two districts of Vidarbha, namely Wardha and Yavatamal. The total membership is 3265.
MSSRF received funding from the Ministry of Rural Development, for a three year period, since December 2011 for strengthening and expansion of MKSP.

In his last years, Sam Simon redefined what it meant to be living with cancer. He was fulfilling his dreams and raising awareness about issues he cared about until his last breath.
Simon, who was most famous for co-creating The Simpsons, died on Sunday at the age of 59.
He was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2012 and was told he only had three to six months left to live. That's when he vowed to give away his fortune to charity—he made millions every year in royalties from The Simpsons and other producing credits on TV shows like Cheers, Taxi, and The Drew Carey Show.
The one-hour documentary "Rebel with a Cause: The Sam Simon Story" will air this Sunday, March 15, at 8:00 p.m. on FUSION.
"I'm not driven by long-term decisions that someone would make if they're trying to have as much money as they can when they're 90 years old," Simon said during an interview for the documentary "Rebel with a Cause: The Sam Simon Story" that will air this Sunday, March 15, at 8:00 p.m. on FUSION.
The Sam Simon Story, an upcoming Fusion documentary documenting his life as he fought cancer. (See a preview of the documentary above.)
"I have a limited time on Earth to do what I can do until I'm gone," he said. "You are a little more aware of it when you're sick."
Some who follow the philanthropy world closely said they'd never seen anyone try to unload a fortune quite so fast. Perhaps it was his commitment and love for animal rights that helped extend his fight.
Even a few days before he passed away, Simon was raising awareness about sea animals in captivity. When singer Britney Spears tweeted a photo of herself swimming with dolphins in Las Vegas, Simon responded.
"[The dolphins you] swim with are captured [and] killed at Taiji," he tweeted to his 58,000 followers, referring to the dolphin hunting operations in Taiji, Japan, made famous in the documentary The Cove.
Simon cared deeply about sea animals and illegal fishing. He donated an undisclosed amount of money to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, an activist marine conservation organization that fights against whaling and illegal fishing. The group named a ship after Simon: the MY Sam Simon.
Late last year he also spent some $8,000 to save a bull that was going to be killed because he was suspected of being gay; the 5,000-pound farm animal had failed to breed with any cows. Simon purchased the bull and then made a sizeable donation to a farm to take in "Benjy the gay bull."
Last August, he paid $50,000 to buy a farm just to be able to rescue some 400 chinchillas and close down the business. Before that, he made a sizeable donation to the animal rights group PETA so they could purchase 17 bears and free them from small concrete pens at roadside zoos in Georgia.
Simon also founded the Sam Simon Foundation, which helps needy families in Los Angeles and veterans. The foundation provides vegan meals to 400 needy families every day in Los Angeles. The group also rescues and trains dogs to help Iraq and Afghanistan veterans diagnosed with PTSD.
Throughout his illness Simon kept his sense of humor, the same quick and sarcastic humor that made him famous.
"Dr. Goldman needed a urine sample, a blood sample, a fecal sample, and a semen sample," he says in the forthcoming documentary, joking from his hospital bed. "So I just gave him my shorts."

The Paradox 1
Due to Focal discontinuing the Tc90Tdx this model has been discontinued. Focal's new version of this tweeter is a cheap snap together piece of plastic that is in no way comparable to the older model, and it will not be used by GR Research.
This model has been replaced by our new A/V-1 model. The following is the last info made available on this model before it was discontinued.
The Paradox-1 has been once again updated! It now has an all new series network.
The series network gives the drivers the electrical control of a third order network, yet still keeping the reactive components in the signal path to a minimum.
This new series network also compensates for some baffle step loss, but does so without the use of any resistors in the woofer path that might degade the sound quality of this great little driver.
With the series network it is really hard to tell there is a separate tweeter and woofer playing. The tweeter and woofer blend together as if they were a single driver.
The electrical in phase drivers and minimum phase shift of this design help the imaging. The sound stage is very three dimensional, with width, depth, an pin point center stage focus.The Paradox-1 uses a modified Focal Tc90Tdx. The decision to use this tweeter came only after hours of subjective listening to virtually every available tweeter. Its speed, level of detail and musical accuracy is astounding.
The woofer is our very own GR-130. It is an excellent match to the Focal tweeter. The end result is a very open, natural sound.
The Paradox-1's series crossover utilizes an air-core foil inductor and is wired point to point using only oxygen free copper wire. Plus, each connection is sealed with glue-filled heat-shrink to prevent oxidation of the wire.
We devoted hours and hours perfecting a simple and elegant design with very little in the signal path -- all in all, a labor of love.
"Truly he who equalizes the least equalizes best..."
Without a doubt we offer the most complete kits on the market. Pictured below are the parts that are included in the Paradox-1 kit. This kit is available shielded or unshielded.
This kit has it all: woofers, tweeters, foil inductors, Axon caps, OFC wire, binding post, ports, gaskets, solder, glue filled heat shrink ( for sealing all of your connections ), screws, plans, instructions.
Suggested retail price of a completed pair in Black is $1000.

As a professional stylist my creativity, eye for proportions, color, and knowledge of textiles are the tools I utilize for the canvas of the human form. Each client has unique personal style. A great stylist helps them discover how to express themselves visually while staying true to their personality and lifestyle.
With my knowledge of garment construction, capsule wardrobes, personal shopping and designer consignment, my clients have a unique advantage each time they dress. I help clients understand the "why" behind fit and the "how to" look effortlessly stylish. I go beyond the trends to help clients invest in their wardrobe with slow-fashion; pieces that are made to last and sourced from a vast network for retail and designer consignment.
I am also the lucky mother of two children, whom I desperately try to impart my knowledge to. My daughter, like many pre-teens, vacillates between rebellion and emulation. My young son currently has an affinity for awkwardly short pants. Luckily, my husband has always been a fantastic dresser so not all is lost on the Homefront.
We have resided in the Charlotte area for the last 10 years, taking a brief hiatus to Bristol, TN during the Great Recession. I love living in the south; sunshine and mountains heal my soul. While not shopping, closet editing, or consigning, you'll find me hiking in the woods, reading, on our boat, or fastidiously cleaning – glad that at least one of my hobbies is productive.
There are several great stylists in the Charlotte, N.C. area, each with their own approach and ideal client. If you are curious as to how I can help you please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or 704.221.6121 (text or voice)

Sauber's new 2013 car, the C32, looks slimmer, smoother (thanks to removal of the C31's stepped nose) and sports a brand new colour scheme, so you'll have no problem spotting it out on the track.
The team's drivers are all new too. Nico Hülkenberg joined from Sahara Force India, while Esteban Gutiérrez graduates from GP2 after finishing third in the standings. Robin Frijns takes on simulator duties as the team's official reserve and test driver.
The sidepods of the C32 are notably slimmer than the Formula One norm up to now and are responsible for giving the new car a very distinctive look. "The airflow in this area has a major influence over everything that happens at the rear of the car, and the compact rear gives Sauber's aerodynamicists more scope to optimise rear air flow.
The C32's rear axle is also new, said to further improve tyre management and allow the drivers to extract more performance during qualifying. While the C31 was kind to its tyres in the race, sometimes it struggled to build heat in its tyres during qualifying, the C32 is designed to address this issue.
"We have set ourselves lofty goals with the Sauber C32-Ferrari, and I'm confident that we'll be able to meet them. The C31 gave us a very good basis, to which we've made further improvements. Our aim is to line up for 2013 with a car that is competitive from the first race, but which also offers extensive potential for further development," said Sauber F1 Team's Chief Designer, Matt Morris.

For many of our customers the retail store is their battleground. As a consumer approaches your product's aisle the vast majority of shoppers do not know what brand of product they will buy that day. Oft-quoted marketing research claims that 70-75% of consumer packaged goods buying decisions are made at the shelf. That's a scary statistic if you are a small business owner or entrepreneur, trying to gain sales momentum through retail distribution. Jane or Joe Consumer doesn't realize how hard you've worked to develop your recipe or formula. They have no idea that you spent endless hours with a designer until your package design and product label conveyed the perfect brand message. In the blink of an eye, that consumer will make an impulsive decision whether to choose your product or Product X. It's not fair! Why doesn't the consumer see how much better your product is?
Fear not. Thankfully, your product is not defenseless against a whimsical and fickle consumer. Consumer buying behavior has been studied and analyzed by a multitude of researchers, scholars, and consultants. We can learn from their work to get a glimpse into the consumer's mind. So what influences a shopper as they stare at the options? As you know, human beings have many senses. Some of our basic senses are sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. All five basic senses can influence a consumer to say "I am going to buy Product X!" But which of our senses is the most important? At the risk of sending perfume testers and food samplers to the unemployment line, I'm pretty sure it's the sense of Sight. Research has determined that 92.6% of consumers put the most importance on visual factors when purchasing products (source: Seoul International Color Expo 2004). In a separate study, they claim that people make a subconscious evaluation about a person, environment or product within 90 seconds of their initial viewing (source: CCICOLOR Institute for Color Research). Not much time for your packaging to give it's silent sales pitch!
So as a packaging engineer, entrepreneur, or small business owner what can you do? I have a simple, albeit biased, suggestion: Focus on your product's packaging. Look through this checklist and honestly evaluate your packaging:
Does your package evoke an emotion that stimulates a purchase?
Your labeling should communicate the benefits and effectiveness of your product.
Even iconic brands must be changed regularly to stay fresh
Does your brand stand out on a me-too shelf?
Make sure your label gives the consumer the info they seek
Give us a call today at Custom Label. Let us help you build the optimum packaging for your brand and product. That's why our tag line is:

Okay. I'm going through a couple of days of a mini manic episode so my mind is all over the place. I'll try to write this so I can get it off my head.
I've always dreamed of the idea of moving to a different country, living in a place where no one knows who I am, away from my family, a fresh start. I don't mean like "disappear without telling anyone", but just moving.
My goal was always to go to a country in the same continent. However, a year ago I came across a different country I had never contemplated before. It's in the opposite side of the planet, a completely different culture. Sure, it has good things as well as bad things, but at least they're new. It would be the ultimate "fresh start".
It's not like I had a plan, I didn't even admit it to myself, but just having that thought in the back of my mind brought me so much peace. A new hope for my future, like I'd never had before.
Last week I decided that maybe I should actually look into it, and started reading about it. Then I came across a video of a girl explaining how she had just gotten her visa, and my hurt sank. It's not like I thought getting a visa took 5 minutes, but I just had the realization that this is for neurotypicals only. Having a stable and important job, a degree, a career, a good relationship with your family, a good reason to move to that country. I will never have those things that you need to have in order to get a visa.
This is a neurotypical world built for neurotypicals only.
This is one part of the whole thing. The other thing that really triggered me is sexism.
Both mine and that culture are sexist, just like any other culture in this planet. That's obvious.
However, sexism manifest itself differently in every case. And although that culture is much more conservative, and I'm sure sexism is well integrated into that, there are also some other things there that don't exist here. Like men respecting and treating women nicely, or finding a girl beautiful regardless of her tits size, or boys talking about how they genuinely want to get married and have kids when they're a couple of years older.
I had never seen that before. Ever, in my life.
And considering how fucking traumatized I am, and how hard it is for me to just be around men, the idea of living in a place where men are less scary sounded like a fucking dream.
Guess is not going to happen though.

International Internship in 2013
International Internship took place from August to September in 2013.
Our 3rd-year students experienced on-the-job training at 7 locations in 6 countries overseas and 3 locations in Japan.
|Kanagawa, Japan
|Name of Project
|Yokosuka base, U.S. Navy Project
|From August 26 to September 6, 2013
|Name of Student
|WANJALA, Richard Makokha from Kenya
The Internship was an eye opener towards my future as a civil engineer as I got to interact and have first-hand experience with more engineers. I really encourage this kind of activity for the undergraduate as it gives meaning to the class work that they are usually partaking.
|Osaka, Japan
|Name of Project
|Eastern site of Minoh Tunnel Project, New Meishin Highway
|From September 2 to 13, 2013
|Name of Student
|WANG, Ziran from China
|I was impressed by the advanced technology and equipment, and the well done site arrangement as well. Also, I realized the role that class knowledge is going to play in my career and obtained motivation to work harder. Furthermore, I was given lots of valuable advice from staffs and engineers in the site, which I will surely take seriously into consideration when I have to make decision for the future.
|Name of Student
|MBITHI, Michael Kinama from Kenya
|We had the privilege of learning about tunnel construction technology, quality, safety measures, as well as the various facilities necessary for smooth flow of work during tunnel construction. It was also a great opportunity to be part of a Japanese company and to be able to observe and learn several work ethics. I must also say that this greatly improved our Japanese language communication skills. Aside from that, we also had time to learn more about Japanese culture as we visited one of the company's engineer hometown in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto.
|Ehime, Japan
|Name of Project
|Kanogawa Dam-Tunnel Spillway
|September 16 to 27, 2013
|Name of Student
|KIM, Daeyoon from South Korea
|Before I go to the Internship site, I got really stress and worries to work there, because I should use Japanese only in the construction site. But It was not a problem and I could understand what they were asking and saying. This internship gave me so many things. I felt the application of study from University is important. I think the University study is a just basic concept for Civil Engineering and to do work with this, I need more study and trying.This internship was a really great experience for me. I know how people work in Construction Company and what I need for these works.
|Manila, Republic of the Philippines
|Name of Project
|Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Project (ARISP-III)
|September 8 to 21, 2013
|Name of Student
|YAMAMOTO, Moemi
|Through this internship, I realized there are many connections between the actual project and what I have studied in my university. And I learned what is needed for civil engineers. Furthermore, I could know the flows of project which I can't learn in academic study. The image of work as a civil engineer became much clearer. It will stimulate my future study. And I could improve my communication skills with foreigners in English. It was a good opportunity to know different culture. All the things I experienced in the Philippines made my perspective broader than before.
|Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam
|Name of Project
|Babraja Interchange Construction
|August 26 to September 6, 2013
|Name of Student
|GOTO, Daichi
|I spent two weeks in Brunei as an internship trainee at a highway interchange construction site. I learned the general idea of how construction projects are carried out. Typical hardness of projects abroad was especially interesting for me. This internship program abroad was established this year for the 1st generation students at international course. I have long been looking forward to taking part in the internship since my 1st year. During this internship, I talked to Japanese engineers, Brunei workers and foreign workers. I really appreciate all the people who helped me for giving me such a great opportunity.
|Hanoi, Vietnam
|Name of Project
|Urban railway transportation system : Line 2 project
|August 23 to September 10, 2013
|Name of Student
|NAGASAKA, Tsuyoshi
|I worked as a trainee at a Japanese consulting company. Basically I was taught about consulting company itself and relationship between it and JICA, governments. I also thought about some problems of the project. All of officers are so kind to me, and they kindly taught me anything I asked them. I communicated not only with Japanese but local officers, and it was great experience for me, because it was the first time to contact with local officers at the office, and I realized again that it is necessary to be a good English speaker if I want to work overseas. This program was a great experience for me.
|Name of Project
|Transport Sector loan for national road network improvement in Vietnam
|August 22 to September 10, 2013
|Name of Student
|KONO, Ketsushi
During this internship, my task was taking lectures about the system of ODA project and site visiting. I had never been concerned about ODA project, but after this internship, I became very much interested in it. I think this internship was very meaningful to me.
|Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
|Name of Project
|North-South Expressway Construction Project, HCMC-Long Than-Dau Giay Section
|September 9 to 20, 2013
|Name of Student
|KAWABE, Daigo
|Two weeks of the internship was short, but the thing which I got was very big. The specialized field that I learned at a university was just practiced in the real construction spot and was able to get deeper knowledge. The fascination and the reality of working abroad as the Japanese civil engineers were beyond my expectation. This internship was very meaningful for me to consider my future plan.
|Savannakeher, Laos
|Name of Project
|The Project for Improvement of National Road NO.9
|August 26 to September 7, 2013
|Name of Student
|MISHIMA, Koji
It was very precious experience for me. This was my first time to work in a company. Working is different from what I did in schools and university. For what I have done ever as a student, it was my responsibility, so if I failed or mistook, it puts only me to inconvenience, but the manager has the responsibility to what I did in the work. This point was very impressive for me. And observing how the project progress, I come to be able to imagine how I will work in a company in the future more clearly.
|Jakarta, Indonesia
|Name of Project
|The Urgent Rehabilitation Project of Tanjung Priok Port
|From August 26 to September 6, 2013
|Name of Student
|MITSUYOSHI, Yasuo
|In this summer, I experienced a part of port construction in Indonesia spending almost all day with Japanese engineers. Through training at the site, communication with local engineers and life with Japanese engineers working around the world, I have got the clear vision of working all over the world as a civil engineer.
|Istanbul, Turkey
|Name of Project
|Marmaray Project
|September 4 to 20, 2013
|Name of Student
|SHIMIZU, Yuma
|I joined this internship to know working at construction site abroad concretely.
This internship was very meaningful for me. I learned how to construct tunnels with seeing the Bosporus strait tunnel and how to cover concrete at real construction site and so on. I will be trying to this experience into something positive in my future.
|Name of Student
|KURASAKI, Ryo
The experience in the internship motivated me to study more about civil engineering. Both at the construction and office, I felt the passion and proud of constructing important tunnel which will bring benefits and prosperity to whole Turkey. As I want to contribute to developing countries in my future, getting involved in this Marmaray project gave me a clear vision of working abroad.

As a general rule, it's hard to go wrong taking the opposite position of New York Sen. Chuck Schumer on just about any subject of public import. Gun-control, healthcare, government spending, whatever, find out which side Schumer is on and choose the other.
Which brings us to eight words I never thought I'd say or write.
Chuck Schumer is right on the Iran Deal.
In a statement posted last Thursday (originally planned for Friday, but pushed up after the Obama administration chose to leak the news against Schumer's wishes), Schumer lays out a series of concerns about the deal that will sound familiar to many on the right who have opposed President Obama's capitulation to the Iranian mullahs.
If Iran's true intent is to get a nuclear weapon, under this agreement, it must simply exercise patience. After ten years, it can be very close to achieving that goal, and, unlike its current unsanctioned pursuit of a nuclear weapon, Iran's nuclear program will be codified in an agreement signed by the United States and other nations. To me, after ten years, if Iran is the same nation as it is today, we will be worse off with this agreement than without it.
I think it's pretty unarguable that what Iran wants is a nuclear weapon. Under this deal, they'll get it, but it will be on some other president's watch and you won't hear much about how it all started with President Barack Obama's "deal," because the mainstream media will have been busy polishing the turd that is his "legacy."
What President Obama should've done was not "go to war" (his strawman alternative), but instead tightened the screws even further. The sanctions were working. The Iranian economy was in the crapper and there was growing dissent.
Instead we got a "deal" that gave us a laughably weak inspections regime that we don't even know the breadth of (due to two confidential side deals that Iran negotiated with the IAEA). Obama, the tough negotiator that he is, tossed in ballistic missile and conventional weapons sanctions into the deal—despite claiming that the discussions were only about Iran's nuclear program and nothing else—while failing to get four Americans held by the Iranians released.
The big question now is whether or not this (stupid) inverse treaty deal that GOP Sen. Bob Corker came up with can garner the 1/3 of Democrats needed in one of the chambers of Congress to sustain a presidential veto. Some claim that they can, which is why Schumer was allowed off his leash and allowed to oppose the deal. Others worry that Schumer may bring enough Democrats with him to deal President Obama the embarrassment of his presidency.
I tend to think it's the latter. I just can't imagine enough Democrats abandoning Obama no matter what sort of deal that he made. Democrats are too much invested in the racial grievance narrative that to oppose Obama means you're racist, to toss it just when it may be the only thing that can deliver Hillary Clinton the White House.
It may be 10 to 15 years before we finally see the end results of the deal President Obama has made (if the next president doesn't rip it up and try again). But what I suspect we'll see is an Iran with nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles to carry them; a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv; and a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.
That will be the Obama legacy.

On January 20th, 2020 Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 will no longer be HIPAA Compliant
Microsoft has announced that on January 20th, 2020 Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 (Server 2008R2) will reach their EOL (End of Life) Product Life-cycle; meaning Microsoft will no longer provide routine security updates making these systems considerably more vulnerable to cyber attacks and therefore no longer HIPAA compliant. Even the presence of a single non-compliant device (computer, router, switch, etc.) can deem your entire site to be non-compliant so this should be taken seriously to avoid potential data loss and/or fines.
As you are reviewing your IT budget for 2019 take into account that some or all of your hardware may need to be replaced. If you still have Windows 7 32-bit operating system computers in your environment you should consider replacement.
Any facility that has Windows 7 64-bit operating system computers deployed may have hardware deployed that
can easily be upgraded to Windows 10 Pro or may need only minor upgrades such as memory.
Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 is a software operating system that does not have upgrade options. You will definitely need a new server platform to address a migration to Windows 2016 Server or Windows Server 2019 operating system.
Because of the number of systems/sites still running these older operating systems scheduling PC and server upgrades is several months out. Considering supply issues from the Far East (trade sanctions, etc.) hardware vendors are experiencing supply shortages and price pressures.
Aside from the hardware supply line, scheduling downtime for your migration to the new operating system/hardware and possible application compatibility issues for the new operating systems should be considered. A gradual roll-out of new PCs will reduce the budgetary impact and allow staff members to familiarize themselves with the new operating system.
Having a plan to deploy a new server for your facility well in advance of the deadline of January 20th, 2020 will make a smooth transition a lot more likely. January 2020 will be here in no time.

LAS VEGAS -- Byron Scott isn't wasting any time putting his stamp on the Cavaliers, even if it's just the summer version.
In their Vegas Summer League debut, the team immediately began showing some of the up-tempo traits Scott has promised to bring next season.
Though the outcomes of the games rarely have meaning, the Cavs' 88-82 victory over the D-League Select team at UNLV Tuesday had the fingerprints of the future.
For the last week, as the team has been practicing together in both Cleveland and Las Vegas, Scott and assistant coach Paul Pressey have been putting the group through some marathon practices with heavy running. When the rest of the roster shows up for training camp in the fall, they can expect more of the same.
During the game the mandate was obvious as the players were pushing the ball at every chance. Sometimes even when there wasn't a natural fast-break situation, they pushed it anyway. The 88 points is a lot for a summer-league game, which is just 40 minutes instead of the usual 48, and the Cavs racked up numerous easy transition baskets on the way to shooting 54 percent.
"Rebounds, turnovers and even made baskets, we're going to try to run off all of them," Scott said. "We have to try to get a little more organized offensively. The main thing is guys are making a conscious effort to get up and down the floor."
The organization part was an issue. The Cavs committed 20 turnovers and eight of were charged to Danny Green. But in general, the players seemed to be making an honest effort to adapt to their coach's demanding new style.
Part of the reason Scott thinks it can work is because of J.J. Hickson, who was putting his agility and quickness to use. Hickson scored 18 points on 9-of-12 shooting, knocking down several of the mid-range jump shots he's been working on since the end of the season. But he did miss all six free-throw attempts.
More important to Scott, though, was how Hickson responded when Scott challenged him at halftime. After getting just one rebound in the first 20 minutes, Hickson got eight in the second half. He was pushed, playing 38 minutes perhaps in an effort to test how he'd handle all the running.
Because of it, there's a chance Hickson will sit out Wednesday's game to recover a bit.
"He's just trying to get in the flow and getting his timing down," Scott said of Hickson, "and understand the system we've given him over the past five days."
Green had 12 points, four rebounds, four assists and three steals in a choppy performance. Cavs 2009 first-round pick Christian Eyenga played well, scoring 13 points with two athletic blocked shots. The Cavs are hoping to see some consistency out of him this week.
Pooh Jeter, a free agent with the team for summer league, had an impressive 17 points with seven assists.
Gilbert humbled by fans offer: Cavs owner Dan Gilbert was contacted by numerous fans Monday and Tuesday who wanted to help pay for his $100,000 fine issued by NBA Commissioner David Stern for his open letter following LeBron James' departure.
"I would like to say thanks for the incredible outpouring of support by the numerous loyal and passionate Cavaliers fans who have offered to contribute to paying the recent fine I was assessed by the NBA," Gilbert said in a statement. "The humbling offer by so many is another reflection of the strength of Cavs fans and the people who live and work in this region and are always the first to step up and have each other's back."
Gilbert will pay the fine, but is encouraging fans who wanted to donate to do so to the Cavaliers Youth Fund.
Cavs look at Morrison: The Cavs were one of a handful of teams that attended a workout Tuesday for former No. 3 overall draft pick Adam Morrison. The team is considering various small forward options, though Morrison is down the list. He has averaged 7.5 points on 37 percent shooting for his four-year career and just 2.4 points for the Lakers last season.

Austin (Alan Ellis) has spent his entire life convinced that something terrible is bound to happen to him. One night, he has the pleasure of rekindling a romance begun almost thirty years ago with Ruth (Leslie Williams), a multiple divorcee whose personal life is in turmoil. Their mutual friends (Judi Laganga and Tait Ruppert) look to Austin as Ruth's last shot at normalcy, and are hoping the wildly unpredictable Ruth will help loosen Austin from the grip of years of depression and lifelessness.
Director David Christopher says, "Working on the efforts of characters who, in their "later life," are hoping to change their situation, has been very meaningful to the actors and myself."
What critics had to say about the New York production:
"Charmingly clever yet immeasurably touching." —I.
"Seldom can a sad story have been told with more fun and humor." —The New Yorker.
"In eighty breathless minutes [A.R. Gurney] vaults from the joyous shiver of renewal to the shudder of lost opportunities, leaving us with an anguished tableau of self-realization." —NY Newsday.

The Boston Red Sox placed outfielder Manny Ramirez on irrevocable waivers yesterday, and they are hoping that another team will claim him and enable them to shed the five years and $104 million remaining on his eight-year, $160 million contract, two major league executives said.
If a team claims Ramirez before the deadline tomorrow, it will become responsible for Ramirez's contract, and Ramirez's often turbulent three-year association with the Red Sox will end. Unlike with revocable waivers, Boston cannot pull back Ramirez if he is claimed. If no team claims Ramirez, the Red Sox will retain him but will have at least alerted other clubs that they are willing to trade him.
''It's a weird thing, to be honest with you,'' said one of the executives, both of whom spoke on condition of anonymity. ''I don't know what they're thinking, other than they want to get out from under that contract.''
It seems unlikely that, with only three days to decide, a team will suddenly add a $100 million wild card like Ramirez to its lineup and its budget. But the Yankees, who might pursue the free-agent outfielders Gary Sheffield or Vladimir Guerrero anyway, are one of the few teams that can take the financial hit. The Yankees also have a soothing, powerful manager, Joe Torre, who has handled moody players like Ramirez.
The Yankees did not return phone calls because they were holding organizational meetings in Tampa, Fla., but one club official said Ramirez was part of their internal discussions yesterday after they tried to decipher why he had been put on waivers. The 31-year-old Ramirez, who attended George Washington High School in Washington Heights, angered Red Sox officials this season by saying he wanted to finish his career with the Yankees.
If more than one club claims Ramirez, the club with the poorer record will have the right to him. So, if the Yankees, who tied with the Atlanta Braves for the best record in the majors this season, are interested, they will have to hope no other teams make claims.
While putting players on waivers is a formality that happens hundreds of times during the season, both executives said the timing of Boston's decision was unusual and signals that the team is serious about moving forward without Ramirez. Dan Duquette, who was dismissed as the general manager in 2002, signed Ramirez to the contract before the 2001 season. Ramirez is the second-highest-paid player in baseball, behind Alex Rodriguez of the Texas Rangers.
''I guess they're hoping someone takes him,'' one of the baseball executives said.
Neither Theo Epstein, Boston's general manager, nor Jeff Moorad, Ramirez's agent, returned phone calls yesterday seeking comment on the waiver move. Club officials are forbidden by Major League Baseball to talk about players who are on waivers.
Ramirez is one of the most intimidating hitters in baseball and hit .325 with 37 home runs and 104 runs batted in last season. In Ramirez's three seasons in Boston, he has hit 111 homers and driven in 336 runs in 416 games. Offense has never been a problem for Ramirez, whose career highs with the Cleveland Indians include a .351 average, 45 homers and 165 R.B.I.
But Ramirez is an introverted player, and some of his off-the-field actions may have caused the Red Sox to question whether they want him to be a part of their future. The Red Sox, who just completed their second year under new ownership, did not offer Manager Grady Little a contract for 2004 this week and are searching for his replacement. Apparently, they are also willing to subtract Ramirez and search for a new left fielder.
Ramirez missed a weekend series in Boston with the Yankees from Aug. 29 to 31 because of a sore throat, but he was seen out with the Yankees' Enrique Wilson at the Ritz-Carlton in Boston, where he resides, on that Saturday night and skipped a doctor's appointment that Sunday. When the Red Sox twice asked him to pinch-hit at Philadelphia on Sept. 1, Ramirez said he was too weak. Little benched him for one game the next day in Chicago against the White Sox.
''I'm putting the team out there that I feel has the best chance to win,'' Little said then.
While earning the American League wild card this year, the Red Sox set a record for total bases in a season, but they need superior pitching to be more competitive. If the Red Sox unload Ramirez's salary, the money that will be freed will allow them to pursue a free-agent starter like Bartolo Colón or Kevin Millwood.

so now what
introversion=mysticism=contraction=process of change incurred through directing senses inward
considering centroversion
working at the antique shop is good for me. it reminds me of when i worked at the small health food store in sugar loaf…i accomplish more of my personal goals than if i were home all day. i bring in books, notebooks and sketchbooks, and create all day. something about knowing that i am earning money just for sitting there takes away maybe the guilt of self-indulgence associated with creativity…i just sit back and do it without worrying about what else i should be doing.
today i read gunther's initiation in the aeon of the child and considered centroversion.
on sockets and conduits
if i've lowered my eyes and closed my mouth and sat quietly and alone, and not opened myself up to true engagement, it is only because i need to be so careful when i do so, because when i do it i do it hard, i empty myself out and take you all in to see you clearly, but this is tricky business and i've learned cannot be done with anyone, because if you're that sensitive the switch of it could kill you.
my hope is that i can trust my intuition and use it wisely, that i can keep those out that must be kept out for preservation, but not reject those for whom a connection with would be important.
and when the matter is uncertain, i wonder which mistake would be worse.

What does that quote mean? Have you ever really pondered this and wondered how it works?
If you want something in your life to change, you have to change your actions right? I've announced here that things are changing as I shift over to my new business face for this blog.
It's scary, it's exciting, it's fun…I LOVE CHANGE! I need to say that a few more times okay? I LOVE CHANGE!!!
I use to live by this motto and seek out ways to invite change into my life but somewhere along the lines as I got older and more settled into the comfortable life I had created for myself I began to be a little afraid of change.
What? I'm looking back and saying to myself, HOW, WHERE AND WHEN did this happen? I don't like it and I'm going back to LOVING CHANGE!
Part of why I think I've been drawn to my new calling as an Organizer that it's all about helping people through a process of change. I'm fascinated by what becomes a catalyst for change in peoples lives. It seems so often that people don't change something until they HAVE TO. Why is that?
I've always been the kind of person who invites change into my daily life, ask my husband, ask my friends…I re-arrange furniture, artwork and re-organize closets at the drop of a hat. Then I sit back and observe how one change is the catalyst for another. I would encourage anyone who is thinking of making a change to consider creating change rather than reacting to something else to allow change into your life. Creative action will invite the kind of change that is rewarding and lasting. Allowing things to change as you react to "stuff" happening in your life isn't a bad way to go either but if you can decide consciously in action and create an intention for your change then you will shift the change from reactive to creative. Now that's the kind of change I want to encourage!
This process is so amazing to watch; once you have laid the ground work you can sit back and let the dominoes follow the new pattern you have laid out!
What is a catalyst for change in your life? Is it reactive or creative?

With six new IPOs this week expected to raise a combined $556 million, it's safe to say the 2016 IPO market has fully recovered.
You see, there was a low volume of 2016 IPOs prior to this week due to volatility in the broader markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 dropped 4.5% and 5.5% during the first two months of the year, respectively. That caused many IPOs to delay their launches. Only four companies went public over that same period.
But April saw a surge in IPO activity that included MGM Growth Properties LLC's (NYSE: MGP) massive $1.1 billion debut. That was the biggest IPO of 2016 and the largest deal since First Data Corp. (NYSE: FDC) raised $2.6 billion in October 2015.
Now, more companies are readying themselves to go public. And leading the pack of upcoming IPOs this week is SiteOne Landscape Supply Inc. (NYSE: SITE)…
SiteOne Landscape is the largest distributor of landscaping tools and supplies in the United States. A spin-off of Deere & Co. (NYSE: DE), SiteOne boasts 477 locations and sells irrigation units, fertilizers, and other supplies for residential and commercial use. The company posted sales of $1.5 billion last year. It plans to raise $210 million by offering 10 million shares at a price range of $20 to $22 each. The firm commands an $863 million valuation and will start trading on Thursday, May 12.
Here's the rest of this week's upcoming IPO calendar, including one deal that's backed by one of the largest pharma companies in the world…
Five More New IPOs This Week
Acacia Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: ACIA) provides high-speed modules that connect data centers. The startup mainly sells optical cables to cloud service providers for the purpose of quickly processing network traffic. Acacia earned $239 million in sales last year and is one of the few startups that's turned a profit before going public. The company benefits from its biggest customer ZTE Corp. – one of the largest independently owned telecom firms in China. Acacia is set for a $99 million deal by selling 4.5 million shares at a $21 to $23 price range. The company is valued at $889 million and will hit the market on Friday, May 13.Viamet Pharmaceuticals Holdings LLC (Nasdaq: VMET) is a biotech firm developing treatments for fungal diseases and infections. The company's lead drug candidate will treat common nail fungus, which affects an annual average of the 32 million people in the United States. Viamet is backed by Novartis AG (NYSE ADR: NVS), the third-largest drug company in the world. It will generate $86 million by offering 5.7 million shares at a price range of $14 to $16 each. The firm commands a $389 million valuation and will debut on Thursday, May 12.
Turning Point Brands Inc. (NYSE: TPB) sells tobacco products, including Zig-Zag rolling papers, cigar wraps, and chewing tobacco. The firm is profitable and posted $200 million in sales last year. However, Turning Point's annual sales fell by 2% in 2015 due to declining sales across the broader tobacco industry. The company will raise $76 million by selling 5.4 million shares for $13 to $15 each. It's valued at $278 million and will start trading on Wednesday, May 11.
Oncobiologics Inc. (Nasdaq: ONS) is set for a $60 million deal by offering 5 million shares at a price range of $11 to $13. The biotech has not announced an official IPO date but is expected to hit the market sometime this week.

Hi, I'm Afzal, your Subject Librarian for Arabic, and Politics.
Task 4: If a researcher came to you asking how they could share their research data with somebody external to the University what would you recommend?
What I knew about the topic beforehand:
That there are Facebook type networking sites for researchers of all disciplines such as www.researchgate.net where researchers can get to know one another's work, and share meta-data and even collaborate to a limited extent but not in real time: this is through the usual means such as emailing, file attachments, web page sharing, perhaps you tube, LinkedIn. Given the nature of research and links to funding there is reluctance to share Data in the way it is done within a department or institutional project.
What I know now:
Whilst researchers can exchange their data via USB sticks, external hard drives even conventional post, there aren't any data collaborative forums or 'data internets'. This is because of the lack of standards, policies, and consensual sharing guidelines, differing copyright laws, university and institutional regulations which would satisfy researchers.
Sharing is practically limited to the researcher's institution, where data sharing contracts would be in place.
How did you obtain this knowledge?
I came to the above answer by entering 'data sharing researchers' in Google. I didn't really finding 'Data Rooms' where the world's researchers come together and 'chat data' – (Of course, these data rooms would have protective security locks). The results invariably focused on individual organisations e.g. at Edinburgh. I was expecting some kind of inter-institutionally owned 'data labs'.
What else would you like to know about the topic?
Where do we go from here given the emphases being placed on collaborative and group research at the funding level and Open Access at the output level. This surely cannot be limited to an individual institution anymore: for instance, how do researchers from Oxford, Bristol, and the Max Planck Institute share data – is progress being made to enable this?
How did you find this task? How would you improve it?
Disappointing answers owing to a lack of developed national strategy, which will not help us progress. To improve: provide 'model' responses to all the tasks.
