Lead Plaintiff Deadline is November 21, 2016

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2016 / Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Spectrum” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SPPI) in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The class action is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased Spectrum securities between December 16, 2015 through September 16, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Shareholders who have incurred losses in Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. are urged to contact the firm
immediately at classmember@whafh.com or

obtain additional information concerning the action on our website, www.whafh.com.

If you purchased shares of you may, no later than November 21, 2016, request that the Court appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class.

The filed Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) previously questioned whether the data from the 611 and 612 Studies were clinically significant; (2) the FDA instructed defendants in December 2012 not to submit the New Drug Application based on data from the 611 and 612 Studies; and (3) consequently, defendants’ public statements regarding the Company’s business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

According to the Complaint, on September 16, 2016, TheStreet.com published an article entitled “Spectrum
Pharma, FDA and the Buried Truth About a
Bladder Cancer Drug Meeting” by Adam Feuerstein. The article disclosed that Spectrum hid from investors a key detail of a meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), in which regulators told the Company not to seek approval for a bladder cancer drug because two clinical trials failed to benefit patients. The article also describes that a panel of outside experts convened by the FDA reviewed the apaziquone clinical data and decided unanimously the drug did not warrant approval – and that the FDA would almost certainly follow the panel’s recommendation and reject Spectrum’s drug.

Creating A Sales System For Small Business Success

Small business entrepreneurs need to document and implement a sales system to drive an increase in their sales performance.

Perth, Australia – September 28, 2016 /PressCable/ —

Craig Ridley, Head Business Coach at YourBusinessCoachingClub said today that small business entrepreneurs need to systemize their sales process to achieve turnover goals.

“Many business owners seem to have a real problem with the selling process” Mr Ridley said. “Whether it is a mindset that selling is a dirty job, whether people have a lack of confidence to put themselves into a sales discussion, or whether owners just want to focus their time on operational aspects of the business, too many small business entrepreneurs fail to capitalize on the benefits of a well-structured sales system.”

In a video workshop presented to members of YourBusinessCoachingClub, Mr Ridley outlined a number of simple strategies small business owners can use to create a successful sales system. These included:

Develop a mindset that selling is an important part of the business model as without sales, the business will not survive.

Don’t outsource the sales process to an external provider, businesses need to develop the internal capability for long term success.

Observe what the best salespeople do and document the process to create a tailored sales system.

Train the team to use the sales system to leverage results.

Manage sales leads with a good CRM and make sure the sales team are always tracking conversion rates for every sales activity.

The member’s workshop was supported by a small business coaching video on creating a sales system from the club’s YouTube channel.

Members of YourBusinessCoachingClub are encouraged to log in to the members area to view the workshop.

Florida PEO Company Informs Businesses About the Increase to Workers’ Compensation Insurance

PENSACOLA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2016 / Landrum Human Resource Companies, Inc., a company in Pensacola, Florida, that offers custom HR solutions, has announced that Florida’s workers’ compensation premiums will increase effective December 1, 2016. The increase in insurance premiums was recently addressed in a public hearing by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation after the National Council of Compensation Insurance (NCCI) submitted the rate filing request. Changes to this policy include an increase of 14.5 percent for workers’ compensation insurance. It was initially proposed to increase 19.6 percent.

The NCCI must revise the filing, with the new rate increase, to the Office no later than October 4th, 2016. The increase would become effective on December 1st, for both new and renewal business. No changes would be made for current policies.

“As business leaders, we hope that the potential impact of this increase on small businesses was carefully considered,” said Jo-Anne Audette-Arruda, Director of Risk Management for Landrum. “Workers need coverage in case of a workplace injury. By the same token, businesses need a stable workers’ compensation market. However, the cost of this coverage should not be so expensive that it would impede the growth of our economy.”

Audette-Arruda recommends that all businesses take the time to learn more about the Florida’s workers’ comp insurance increase, as well as explore opportunities to lessen these costs. She points out that while premiums may affect businesses operating costs, there are many measures that companies can take to reduce risk, improve safety and decrease claims, ultimately lowering insurance premiums.

“You don’t want to feel that the insurance companies are making big money off your struggles,” says Audette-Arruda. “We just want business owners to be as informed as possible regarding the increase and to let them know we are here to assist them.”

Insurance Commissioner David Altmaier stated recently that a task force has been formed in an effort to relieve the pressure on rates as quickly as possible and to find optimal policies that will protect workers as well as businesses struggling to pay higher premiums for worker’s compensation insurance.

Landrum provides staffing and human resources solutions for businesses in Florida and states they understand the pain of coping with rising costs. Those interested in learning more about Landrum HR services are encouraged to visit their Facebook page, or email them at questions@landrumhr.com.

New African American Paranormal Urban Fantasy Romance Novel By N.D. Jones

Paranormal romance author, N.D. Jones, has just launched her brand new book, “Of Beasts and Bonds”.

Baltimore, United States – September 28, 2016 /PressCable/ —

Amazon

Paranormal/urban fantasy romance author N.D. Jones has launched her brand new book, “Of Beasts and Bonds”. The book went live September 18, 2016. The book is available in eBook and paperback formats at all major online book retailers and is expected to become a big hit with fans of the paranormal/urban fantasy romance world.

More information on the book can be found here: https://booklaunch.io/ndjones/ofbeastsandbonds

This is the fourth book Jones has authored. The book was written with the aim in mind to thrill readers with a paranormal romance novel that includes mystery, mythology, and magic. There’s also particular excitement about this launch because it’s the middle book in the author’s captivating Death and Destiny trilogy.

“Of Beasts and Bonds” sets its main focus on Sanura and Assefa’s incomplete mate bond. Their new relationship is tested when Mami Wata sets her malevolent eyes on them, manipulating beasts, sacrificing humans, and creating heartache. To save the world from Mami Wata, a water goddess with a bloody thirst for power and an insatiable appetite for death and destruction, Sanura and Assefas must defeat her beasts and the Water Witch of Legend.

The book’s cover art was created by Jesh Designs and “Of Beasts and Bonds” is being released by Kuumba Publishing.

N.D. Jones has a background in high school social studies where she taught, primarily, African American teenagers who were assigned many books in school, most of which contained few characters who looked like them. The author’s background helped shape the creation of the book by inspiring her to develop three-dimensional and engaging characters of color set in a magical world of African and African American culture and mythology.

When asked about why she wrote the book, Jones said: “Of Beasts and Bonds” is the second book in my Death and Destiny trilogy, so there was no question I would continue with the series when I finished “Of Fear and Faith.” In fact, the reason I have a trilogy is because I wrote one hellishly long story a few years back, just for fun. When I thought about turning the work into a bona fide novel, I knew it was far too long for a single work. I’m not J.K. Rowling and this isn’t the Harry Potter series. Most people don’t want to read a 600+ page book by an author. So I divided my very rough draft into three manageable parts. For the most part, I stayed true to my draft for “Of Fear and Faith.” For “Of Beasts and Bonds,” I kept most of the ideas but essentially started from scratch, adding, for example, more supporting characters and some kickass scenes of magic.”

The author has hopes the book will encourage more readers to try black speculative fiction. This positive outlook from the author is certainly testament to her optimism considering some of the mishaps during its creation. There were a couple of mishaps, for example, the author decided to, at the last minute, hire a different cover designer. While she liked the dark, grittiness of her original cover, she wanted something a bit more striking and visually appealing.

In a recent interview, the author made a point of thanking her daughter, Najja. The teenager is a budding graphic artist who drew the logo for Kuumba Publishing.

Hydrogen Technology Poised to Transform Commercial Trucking- Commercial Hydrogen Retrofits Diesel Engines for Improved Performance

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2016 / Commercial Hydrogen, Inc., a Texas based company, is already drastically impacting the Commercial Trucking industry. This company produces a hydrogen-based product that significantly reduces emissions, while positively enhancing performance.

Performance gains are from reducing fuel consumption and boosting the life-span of the engine and its vital components. Commercial Hydrogen specializes in retrofitting commercial trucks. The retrofit or ‘bolt-on’ products are for 10-15L diesel engines. Also, the system is for trucks manufactured from 1980 to the present.

According to Todd Fowler, CEO of Commercial Hydrogen, Inc., “Our products are at the leading edge within the existing billion-dollar industry. Our 5th Generation On Demand System provides a unique capability that no other company, product line, or system is able to replicate.”

Commercial Hydrogen manufactures and distributes two different products. One is for older, non-EPA (Pre-2011). The other is for the newest 2017 EPA rated vehicles. Each product has achieved incredible fuel and operating efficiency gains by creating, then injecting hydrogen vapor directly into the combustion cylinder. This enables the engine to operate at an optimized level of efficiency. They have also achieved lower levels of wear and tear than for those without this modification.

Carl Kiser is Co-Owner of Aaron’s Freight in Tomball, Texas. He states, “I’ve been using Commercial Hydrogen’s products since 2011. We continue to see mileage gains between 10% and 25%, and sometimes more. With your newest generation of product on our newest trucks, we have been getting 20% to 30% mileage gains. The 2007 Peterbilt’s have achieved up to 33% mileage gains.”

Commercial Hydrogen’s track record is impressive. Real-world achievements are mileage increases of 10-33%. Just as important, emission reductions of 50-70% of CO2 and NOX particulates. This is one of few products currently available in which both market performance and environmental impact create an incredibly positive economic result.

The company goals are to enable partner fleets to increase profitability while reducing carbon emissions. The environmental impact is considerably more positive than what is now occurring in non-retrofitted vehicles.

The bottom line is that Commercial Hydrogen enables more profitable margins and operations for both fleets and smaller or individual operators.

New Business Funders- Tips to Improve Credit Scores for Entrepreneur’s

PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2016 / One of the greatest challenges facing the entrepreneur is raising capital to start and operate a new small business. Traditional lending sources look to revenues, cash flow, assets, etc. to justify the typical business loan. The start-up doesn’t have these items, yet.

According to Troy Bohlke, CEO of New Business Funders LLC, “the entrepreneur is in a bind. He has no business results to point to, since he is in a start-up phase. He usually has to rely on friends, family and, especially, his own credit report to qualify for a business loan.”

So what is an entrepreneur to do?

First, learn what it takes to improve your credit report. You must be current on all personal loan payments, with an excellent payment history. Credit card balances need to be low – ideally no more than 30% of credit limits. The overall amount of debt is an issue, as is the credit mix (types of debt). Also, there should be no derogatory items, such as loan defaults, collections or too many credit inquiries. All of these items help to determine the FICO score, which is an industry guideline for rating credit. The FICO is used by the three major credit reporting bureaus: TransUnion, Experian and Equifax. While they all use this rating system, the scores each provides may vary slightly from the others.

Unfortunately, it can take time to resolve some of these items. It took time to get where you are, so it may take some time to change direction, especially your credit history.

An option provided by New Business Funders, LLC is a reputable credit restoration service. For those who understand the credit industry, it is possible to have certain items challenged or removed. This results in a quick improvement in the credit score. At New Business Funders the threshold rating is only 680, a relatively modest credit score.

But what if I can’t get my score up fast enough? With credit restoration, you can get a quick bump up in 30 days. For some this is still not enough. The best advice is to seek a partner who has a strong credit rating to bolster your combined scores. Obviously, the higher the FICO score, the lower the interest rate on any loans.

A word to the wise. Get a line of credit as soon as possible, even if you don’t need it yet. It will always be there as a back-up for growing your business.

To get more information on how to quickly bolster your credit score, please contact New Business Funders LLC at 1-855-680-3426 or ext 101 or email funding@newbusinessfunders.com.

Gas vs. Diesel Trucks – Which is the Better Investment? Commercial Hydrogen, Inc. Provides an Answer in this Debate

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2016 / Some fleet operators are debating the gas vs. diesel engine issue. Of course, this is rather complex, due to the wide variety of performance requirements and vehicle types.

Some are switching to gasoline, but these are likely to be small- to mid-sized trucks. And more cars are becoming available with diesel engines, too.

There is one innovation that could tip the scales to diesel for most applications. That is On Demand Hydrogen injection systems. The use of retrofit kits developed by Commercial Hydrogen, Inc. of Houston, Texas is dramatically improving mileage and maintenance costs. As an additional benefit, air emissions are significantly improved, too.

“We are one of the best kept secrets in the industry. Our 5th Generation Hydrogen On Demand kits are designed for both late and older model diesel engines,” claims Commercial Hydrogen, Inc. CEO, Todd Fowler. “Our retrofits are paid for in less than one year, just in fuel savings alone,” Fowler continues.

Factors to consider in the gasoline/diesel include mileage, power, maintenance costs, longevity, initial cost and resale values are issues to be considered. While conclusions vary depending on individual conditions, one thing is certain – the debate goes on.

Mileage: While diesel is assumed to have the edge in this category, the higher cost of diesel fuel needs to be considered.

Torque/Horsepower: Gasoline engines generally have higher horsepower, but the diesel wins the torque contest.

Maintenance Costs: The tractor engines will tend to have higher costs, due mainly to the degree of usage vs smaller vehicles. Traveling 80,000 to 100,000 miles a year for mid- to large-size vehicles will result in more maintenance over the course of the year, even though frequency per mile is less.

Longevity: Diesel is designed to last longer, especially when miles traveled is considered.

Acquisition Costs: Diesel is higher, but then again, it is expected to last longer.

Resale Values: Diesel will usually have higher resale value.

The addition of Commercial Hydrogen’s hydrogen kits is now a major factor. Their approach is to install a retrofit package to the engine. Pure hydrogen vapor is injected directly into the combustion chamber and compliments the base fuel. The retrofit kits work with diesel and CNG/LNG engines and are designed to be installed during normal fleet maintenance cycles.

The result is improved performance and enhanced air quality. In fact, Commercial Hydrogen has found a reduction of 50 percent to 70 percent of particulates, CO2 and NOX. Considering mileage and maintenance costs, plus the powerful improvements in air emissions, Commercial Hydrogen is a game-changer in the gasoline vs. diesel debate.

The stickers help musicians to train both their ears and their hands in unison, putting their ears, sight, and hands together to get a better understanding of what a note looks, sounds and feels like.

Tempi explains that their stickers come with a full 100% satisfaction guarantee. The company says that the product will help customers to memorize their piano keys, save money on piano tuition and play music notes with confidence or they can get their money back.

The Amazon page listing emphasises that the Tempi piano keys stickers simplify the potentially overwhelming note recognition process, increase music reading skills, and accelerate learning. This combination can help to improve music play quickly and efficiently, helping to make music more fun.

Tempi piano key stickers can be easily applied to the piano keys, allowing practicing musicians the ability to accurately play the music they love. The listing explains that they allow the piano player to start practicing in less than 10 minutes. The stickers are compatible with any piano or keyboard, and they are easy to remove once the notes have been memorized. It also means musicians can place them on or off the keys as they wish to test themselves.

Mexican Assets Pivoting on U.S. Presidential Campaign Results

PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESSWIRE / September 28, 2016 / In the lead-up to the U.S. Presidential election, the impact of U.S. trade agreements with its North American neighbors has become a central point of contention between the candidates. Each party platform has a distinct strategy for handling trade relations, and the differences between those plans could have significant consequences — in either direction — for business in Mexico that are trying to maintain access to the U.S. market. MarketChameleon.com analyzed the trends in Mexican stock values and volatility to determine any connections between the election and market movements.

Given its prominence in the campaign discussions, and the country’s economic ties to the U.S., the Mexican currency and Mexican stocks have been pushed around by the twists and turns of the U.S. election polling. Obviously, the American people are the most impacted by the outcome of this election. Mexico’s economy might be a close second, though, and that fact has led to increased volatility for Mexican assets.

Ahead of this week’s widely anticipated debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, the Mexican Peso fell to a low against the dollar. This came amid Trump’s steady gain in the polls over the last few weeks, which saw the Republican nominee narrow his polling deficit to nearly a dead head as the first debate got underway. Trump’s policies could impose significant roadblocks for Mexican companies selling into the U.S., and the shift in market conditions echoes that.

Following the debate however, which many media pundits called in favor of Clinton, the peso immediately rebounded.

Similarly, the iShares MSCI Mexico Capped ETF [$EWW] made gains following the debate This ETF tracks a basket of Mexican equities. Major components include telecommunications firm América Móvil [$AMOV], beverage and retail company FEMSA [$FMX] and the media company Grupo Televisa [$TV].

The implied volatility for EWW has itself been volatile over the past year. It’s been a long election season, for the candidates, for the electorate, and for Mexican companies, who might be at the mercy of an election in another country.

While the past year has seen swings in EWW’s implied volatility, the measure has been rising for most of the past several weeks. It hit a multi-month low in early August at 17.4, just after the conventions, when Trump’s poll numbers were at their low. However, implied volatility bounced back as the poll trend reversed, and reached 27.3 about a week ago, as Trump’s poll numbers came up to about even with Clinton’s. This was the highest mark since June.

There has been a slight dip lately, but levels remain near multi-month highs.

The ATM Straddle premium for EWW is relatively constrained, but it is an ETF and less susceptible to sharp near-term moves than individual stocks. At the time of this post, the straddle premium for the October 7 expiration is $1.59, or 3.3%. It’s $3.28 (6.7%) for the November 4 expiration — just before the November 8 election. The November 18 expiration (just after the U.S. election), has a $4.10 straddle premium, or 8.4%.
