THE WESTFIELD NEWS WWW.THEWESTFIELDNEWS.COM MONDAY, APRIL 8, 2019 - PAGE 7 Pinterest sets sites on $1.5B in first public share offering NEW YORK (AP) — Pinterest, among a gaggle of tech companies planning to go public this year, hopes to raise as much as $1.5 billion in its initial offering of shares. The digital scrapbooking site said in a regulatory filing Monday that it will put about 75 million shares up for sale at a price between $15 and $17 each. That, at the higher end, could put the value of the company at around $9 billion, below the estimated $12 billion value from earlier sales of shares to investors, according to reports two years ago. Already, IPOs from tech companies have dominated head- lines this year. The arrival of Lyft late last month did little to diffuse ques- tions about how best to value tech companies with tons of potential, but not much in the way of profits, at least not yet. While Lyft has bounced back from a sell-off that dropped its shares well below its initial offering price, they remain below the heights reached in the flurry of first-day trading. Uber, Lyft’s rival, the messaging app Slack and the video conferencing company Zoom are expected to make their debut soon. Pinterest claims more than 250 million active monthly users and more than 2 billion monthly searches. The platform allows people to search for and “pin” images that interest them, whether it’s fashion, sports, pets or travel. Pinterest has long shunned the label of being a social net- work. It doesn’t push users to add friends or build connections. That means it’s avoided the privacy tangles that have ensnared After many days of preparation, the committee and volunteers take time out for a photo op.

Proposals ask colleges to take surveys on sexual misconduct BOSTON (AP) — A bill that would require colleges and universities in Massachusetts to conduct surveys on sexual misconduct at their institutions is coming before lawmakers for a public hearing. The Legislature’s Committee on Higher Education on Tuesday will take testimony on that and other bills dealing with sexual misconduct and disciplinary procedures on col- lege campuses. The legislation sponsored by Rep. Lori Ehrlich, of Marblehead, and Sen. William Brownsberger, of Belmont, calls on the state’s higher education commissioner to approve a model sexual misconduct climate survey that would be con- ducted biennially by colleges and universities. The schools could ask permission to design and substitute their own campus-specific survey. After completion, the institutions would have 120 days to submit a summary of the results to state officials and must also summarize the findings on their websites.

We had a tumultuous relationship when I was growing up because of his struggle with mental illness. Before going no- contact with him, every phone call caused me intense anxiety and triggered symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. My On The Tube decision to go no-contact was a long time coming, and I did not take it lightly. But I need this space from him for my mental well-being. He does not understand this. He thinks I’m taking a step backward, that I’m running away from the problem. I tried to explain to him how PTSD works, that events from years ago still haunt me because they were traumatic -- and happened to an impressionable child. But now I feel like a villain, as if I’m in the wrong somehow. And he’s still texting me regu- larly. Is there any way to make him understand that I need space, that the mere thought of seeing him or talking to him makes me panicky? I don’t want to cut ties forever, but I need time and space. -- Blamed for Bedlam Dear Blamed: I applaud you for seeking out the space you need during this time. It’s never ideal to have to cease contact with family members, but it is sometimes necessary. Your letter’s last line -- “I don’t want to cut ties forever, but I need time and space” -- says it all. Share that statement with your father. Know that he may not be in a healthy enough place to recognize and respect your boundaries. In that case, you might need to take more concrete steps toward asserting them -- such as blocking his number temporarily so you’re not barraged with stress-inducing texts and voice messages. Also, I hope that you’re seeing a therapist. PTSD should not go without professional treatment. Dear Annie: My 62-year-old live-in boyfriend of 13 years hates it when my daughter comes to visit on the weekends. The whole time that she’s here, he’s in a horrible mood. He says it’s “BS” that she comes to visit. She lives about an hour away. I love my daughter and will never tell her that she can’t come home. She is 32. What can I do to make things better? -- Incredibly Frustrated Dear Incredibly Frustrated: Your boyfriend is way out of bounds, and that sort of trash talk is inappropriate and hurtful.
