<p>Ending your emails with <a href="http://mashable.com/2015/06/03/best-email-signoff/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=weekly-web-roundup-4644#OFzZMx01Nsq9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">&#8220;best&#8221; is actually the worst</a>. The signature has been a go-to in offices for years, but now that emails act more like text messages and less like letters, including it seems indifferent and archaic. What should you say when you&#8217;re signing off instead of &#8220;best?&#8221; Nothing. It&#8217;s time to ditch the forced sign off altogether. &#8211; Lauren Moorman</p><div>&nbsp;</div>  <p>Food labels need to change in order to make the <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-05-12/the-meaninglessness-of-healthy-food-six-ways-labels-need-to-change?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=weekly-web-roundup-4644" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">&#8220;healthy&#8221; label meaningful again</a>. Right now, the Food and Drug Administration&#8217;s guidelines for calling foods &#8220;healthy&#8221; and &#8220;natural&#8221; are unclear. In fact, the FDA doesn&#8217;t have a definition for &#8220;natural&#8221; foods at all. &#8211; Chad Cohen</p><div>&nbsp;</div>  <p>A new photo campaign from the child rights organization Plan International and the United Nations Population Fund is hoping to bring attention to the two million girls who give birth to children every year before their 15<sup>th</sup> birthdays. The exhibition, called <a href="http://mashable.com/2016/05/15/child-mothers-photo-series/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=weekly-web-roundup-4644#HIQ2psjgwEqS" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">#childmothers</a>, will premiere at the Danish Parliament in Copenhagen, Denmark on May 17 and will then travel the world. &#8211; Matt Diaz</p><div>&nbsp;</div>  <p>Opening a college bookstore that <a href="http://www.cnet.com/news/only-amazon-can-open-a-college-bookstore-with-no-books/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=weekly-web-roundup-4644" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">doesn&#8217;t actually have any books</a> in it is only something that Amazon could pull off. The brand just opened a store at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia without any shelves, inventory or checkout stations. Instead, the store serves as a same-day pickup and drop-off hub for students and faculty. &#8211; Ryan Paul</p><div>&nbsp;</div>  <p><a href="http://www.thedrum.com/news/2016/05/13/tic-tac-embraces-go-little-philosophy-small-personalized-marketing-stunts?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=weekly-web-roundup-4644" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tic Tac&#8217;s latest marketing campaign</a> got personal. The brand hosted a two-hour event on Facebook where it asked fans to post photos of Tic Tacs in the palm of their hands. A fortune teller then read their palms and read people their fortunes based on where the Tic Tacs were placed and what color they were. &#8211; Sarah Mellema</p><div>&nbsp;</div>  <p>Twitter might be loosening the restrictions on its 140-character limit. The social network is considering allowing its users to <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/16/11686112/twitter-140-character-count-limit-change-link-photo?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=weekly-web-roundup-4644" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">write longer tweets</a> by not counting photos and links in its character count. Twitter users may see the change take place in the next few weeks. &#8211; Andi Summers</p><div>&nbsp;</div>  <p><span style="Arial;color:#222222; background:white">Netflix and chill is not so chill if it takes up more time in your day than any other hobby.</span> On an average day, <a href="http://cordcutting.com/people-spend-more-than-twice-as-much-time-on-netflix-as-with-friends/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=weekly-web-roundup-4644" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Netflix users spend 100 minutes on the site</a>, which is more than twice the amount of time Americans spend socializing and communicating according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Binge-watching shows on Netflix also trumps reading, relaxing and exercising. &#8211; Hannah Kramer</p>
