Nature v. Nurture vol 1 (1)
NATURE V. NURTURE: A Greg Rucka Newsletter
Volume 1. Issue 1.
The very first it's-about-time what-was-he-waiting-for-issue.
A GENTLEMAN'S GAME: The First Queen & Country Novel
The new novel, A Gentleman's Game, is officially on sale as of September 28th. If you're a real go-getter, you can order it in advance from your favorite bookstore, and have them hold you a copy. If you're less inclined to plan so far in advance, you'll be able to find the book—well, just about anywhere, or so Bantam assures me.
I'm very proud of this book. This is rare for me. Mostly, I fall into a deep pit of loathing and fear when a book is about to come out. But this one, this one is special, and it feels special. It feels different, for lack of a better phrase.
It's a good book, that's what I'm trying to tell you. I may even go so far as to claim it is a very good book, or perhaps, possibly, an excellent book.
In consultation with my glorious Webmaven (who is not only brilliant, but incredibly hot, and how many people can you say that about, really?), I've decided to continue the trend started with the release of A Fistful of Rain—you guessed it, another contest.
This one, however, won't be so esoteric. No having to go through the Greg Rucka canon in search of a single detail to answer a question. Nothing like that. This will be simple. Straightforward. Easy, even.
Here's how it works: A Gentleman' s Game goes on sale on September 28th in a glorious hardcover edition suitable for framing, or, better yet, reading. If you purchase the book prior to October 15th, 2004, and mail proof of that purchase—meaning the dated receipt for the book—to me, you will receive, automatically, an originally designed bookplate, signed and numbered by yours truly. This will be a one of a kind item, only available through this contest, and will feature original art by Steve Rolston, one of the Queen & Country comic artists.
I'll say it again: send me the receipt proving you purchased the novel prior to October 15th, 2004, PLUS your name and mailing address (print clearly) and you automatically will receive the bookplate.
Additionally, if I receive your receipt prior to 10-31-04, you will be entered into a drawing for the following:
A complete set of the Queen & Country hardcover editions, covering the entire comic book series up to issue 24. The hardcovers are collectibles, and were made available to retailers on an initial order basis only. Several of the hardcovers are difficult, if not now impossible, to find. This set includes: Operation: Broken Ground (issues 1-4), Operation: Morningstar (issues 5-7), Operation: Crystal Ball (issues 8-12), Operation: Blackwall (issues 13-15), Operation: Storm Front (issues 16-20), and Operation: Dandelion (issues 21-25), as well as Queen & Country: Declassified Vol. 1.
We'll be giving FIVE of these away. Five chances to win. The drawing will be conducted by my daughter Dashiell, and overseen by my son Elliot. Elliot is four and a half, so you know he'll keep his seventeen month old sister in line.
That's the contest. Win-win, from where I'm sitting, and I even get to clear some of the comps out of my basement. What could go wrong?
So, to recap, here's the whole deal: Buy the new novel on or before 10-15-04. Mail the dated receipt, along with your name and address (printed out clearly, please), to me before 10-31-04. You will automatically receive the signed and numbered bookplate, and you will be entered into the drawing for the Q&C hardcover sets.
And the mailing address?
I Bought the Damn Novel Contest
(sorry, guys, the contest is long over)
And that's all I want to say about that.
There was so much to say about the comics currently on the stands that my Webmaven balked at overstuffing the newsletter, so we compromised. Here are the highpoints; the details (and all cover art) can be found on the website.
Adventures of Superman #632—from DC Comics. Lois Lane got shot. (My Webmaven likes cliffhangers.)
Gotham Central #23—from DC Comics. A real cliffhanger; to be concluded in October's #24.
Queen & Country #27—from Oni Press. This is second part of "Operation: Saddlebag."
Queen & Country: Operation: Dandelion—from Oni Press. The trade paperback collection of issues 21-24.
Queen & Country Scriptbook—from Oni Press. Hailed as the "gold standard" of scriptbooks.
Wonder Woman #208—from DC Comics. "Stoned, Part Three of Five," art by Drew Johnson.
Wonder Woman: Down to Earth—from DC Comics.
The trade paperback collecting my first six issues of Wonder Woman, 195-200, art by Drew Johnson.
All of these comic books are available at finer comic books stores everywhere. Don't know where to find a comic book store? The Comic Shop Locator Service can help you out.
Trade paperbacks are available through comic book shops as well as any reasonably stocked book store, though you may have to ask them to special order. And, of course, you can find just about anything you want online.
Why am I calling this newsletter Nature v. Nurture?
If you follow my work, you've probably noted a couple of consistent themes, a few recurring conflicts that seem to replay again and again. This isn't a big deal, and every single writer out there does it (and if you don't believe me, read three P.D. James novels back-to-back, she'll make the point for me). Some of these are themes that I'm aware of; some of them are entirely subconscious.
I once had an interviewer ask me, shortly after Shooting at Midnight was published, what it was I had against fathers and their daughters. When I yammered out a "wha?" he pointed out that, in three books in a row—Finder, Smoker, and Shooting, the plots all rotated around daughters in conflict with their fathers. If you lumped in my first novel, Keeper, and the very absent father in that one, I was four for four.
Never had even considered it, but he was right, it was there, and the best I could offer was that I had no idea myself, except that my own big sister has Down's Syndrome, and my father has always loved her as absolutely as any of his other children, and no, I didn't have any experience growing up that made me think Daddy didn't love Baby Sister.
I just didn't know it was there, and I sure as hell couldn't explain where it had come from.
But Nature versus Nurture, oh, man, I've been struggling with that one since I started scribbling stories out longhand while sitting in the back of English class during high school. Over and over again I come back to it, either directly or indirectly. In comics, my whole run on Elektra revolved around the question. In novels, it's the heart of Critical Space. Well, one of the hearts, at any rate.
And it has always been a consistent part of Queen & Country, both in the novel and in the comics. And it rears its ugly head again in A Gentleman's Game.
Why? I'm really not sure. It's like asking me why I write about female protagonists more often than male ones. I can give you a glib answer, and I can try to give you a serious one after that, but in the end, I don't really know. I am fascinated by the struggle between ourselves and our better angels. I look at stories about murderers and wonder how they got that way. I look at the world and at politics, and I wonder if the behavior I see is hard-wired in, or if it's a choice, or if it's both, or neither.
And I wonder if people can change. If the professional assassin can actually walk away from a life drenched in blood and find redemption, or if she's condemned to that path for the rest of her life. If the spy who burns out his soul committing horrible atrocities so that we can sleep safe at night thinks it's a fair trade, or if there's a way to survive the job without losing himself in darkness.
I wonder about our natures as human beings, and whether or not William Golding was correct, and it's all Lord of the Flies.
I don't expect to find an answer. But each time I write a story about it, I get to try again to understand it. Sometimes I think I'm close. Sometimes, I figure it's a wash and I should just give it up.
But I know I'll keep coming back to it in the end.
That's all for now. As the TELEX used to say, MESSAGE ENDS.
Be safe.

Convicted killer 'endorses' Nebraska Republican who used him in campaign ad
A convicted killer shouted out a mocking endorsement in court on Wednesday for the Nebraska Republican featuring him in a congressional campaign ad, KMTV-TV reported.
"Vote Lee Terry guys, greatest Republican ever," 26-year-old Nikko Jenkins said after a competency hearing. "Vote for Lee Terry. He's a great guy."
Jenkins has been the centerpiece of an ad released by the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC) earlier this month linking him to Terry's opponent, state Sen. Brad Ashford (D).
The commercial blasts Ashford for supporting the "Good Time Law," which allowed Jenkins to serve half of a 21-year prison sentence for robbery and assault charges. Less than a month after being released, however, Jenkins killed four people last summer. Democrats have called the commercial a "repellent, race-baiting ad" and called for it to be taken off the air, but Terry's campaign has refused.
Terry's campaign manager, Kent Grisham, distanced himself from the commercial in a statement to KMTV.
"We're not going to comment on the ranting of a serial killer who never should have gotten out of prison in the first place," Grisham said. "This man does not deserve one more second of publicity, which is why we refused to use his name or face in any of the ads our campaign produced."
According to Roll Call, Terry trails Ashford by 5 percentage points, with Ashford amassing 46 percent of support of 2nd Congressional district voters compared to Terry's 41 percent. Libertarian candidate Steven Laird has the support of 6 percent of voters, while another 7 percent remained undecided.

The HP ScanJet 5500C ($300) is a godsend for those who do a lot of photo scanningor would, were it not for the tedium of loading dozens of prints onto the platen one at a time. On the lid of the 5500C is an automatic photo feeder (APF), which lets you stack up to 24 3-by-5 or 4-by-6 snapshots, scan them, and save them at the push of a button. And the excellent quality of the prints is nice too.
The stylish 5500C is a large, heavy, solidly built device. On the front panel are ten buttons plus an LCD number panel, all intelligently marked and logically placed. In addition to the usual one-touch buttons (scan, print, and number of copies) the 5500C has a button that lets you scan directly to the Web site of your choice. Another button saves scans to your hard drive or CD automatically, and yet another button scans and then launches HP's software for creating a slide show on CD. There's even a button to send scans directly to your printer, not to mention a handy cancel button.
Because of the APF on the lid, you must disconnect and remove the 5500C's cover and place the transparent materials adapter (TMA) directly on the glass platen to scan slides and negatives. It is inconvenient to attach and detach, but worth the effort for the auto feeder.
The HP scanning software's interface is clean and convenient, with nothing to distract novices. But it also affords quick access to more advanced controls. The separate slide show creation software walks you through the steps of choosing your photos, adding background music, and burning to a CD, which you can view on a PC or a set-top DVD player that supports video CD media. The software is not as advanced as a true video-editing package (for example, you can't insert fancy transitions between photos), but it's a welcome bonus.
On our tests, the 5500C displayed a preview in about 6 seconds, thanks to HP's dual cold-cathode lamps. It scanned our 5-by-7 test photo in about 15 seconds. The 5500C produced sharp, pleasing scans of prints with realistic color, great specular highlights, and good detail in the shadows.
The convenient APF feature is hands-down the best innovation in consumer scanning in years. Excellent image quality and ease of use make the 5500C even more of a winner.

Eccentric reducer is also called the eccentric reducer, both ends of pipe diameter, used to connect different diameter tubes or variable diameter flange.
Eccentric reducer is also called the eccentric reducer, both ends of pipe diameter, used to connect different diameter tubes or variable diameter flange. Concentric reducer at both ends of the tube, circle, on the same axis diameter changes, in terms of axis of pipe position, the position of the pipe is changeless, commonly used in gas or liquid vertical pipe diameter changes. Eccentric reducer ends cut inside nozzle circumference, commonly used in horizontal liquid pipeline.
Eccentric reducer adopts reducing row of water heater technology, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons change, even in cloudy weather, rain, snow, also because of its high efficiency and has the characteristics of a good hot bath temperature reached first. At the same time, the more significant effect of energy conservation and emissions reduction, by reducing close technical water heater thermal efficiency can reach 73%, power saving, coal saving, and reduce carbon emissions. Reducing pipe roundness should not be greater than 1% of the corresponding end diameter, and the allowable deviation of plus or minus 3 mm.
Eccentric reducer nozzle tangent point upward, known as the roof installation, commonly used in pump suction, exhaust, cutting down as bottom flat installation, generally used for valve installation, use the net. Concentric reducer is advantageous to the fluid flow, at the time of variable diameter less interference on the fluid flow pattern, therefore vertical flow of gas and liquid pipelines using concentric reducer. Eccentric reducer with a side is flat, favors the exhaust or drainage, convenient driving and maintenance, so the horizontal liquid pipeline with eccentric reducer in general.

With Valentine's Day happening yesterday, relationships are on people's minds. Here in Toronto, a number of people took the opportunity to tie the night in marriage, in celebration of this special day to celebrate relationships.
Over a candle-lit dinner, my wife and I were discussing the subject of discussion on the news for the day where they asked their viewers "Is marriage important to you?" Viewers called into the newscast giving their opinion on whether marriage is an old tradition and irrelevant for us today, or something to continue to hold on to tightly in celebration of commitment. There were varying views from each side.
One of the comments my wife heard from a viewer on the news reminded me Continue reading "Preparing for failure: Divorce before marriage?"

British Columbia—Directed Commercial Fisheries
Open: 15 March 2019 at 1200h local time
Closed: 14 November 2019 at 1200h local time
IPHC Regulatory Area 2B is located off of British Columbia, Canada. The IPHC sets the overall total allowable catch and season (called the "fishing period" in IPHC regulations) for the area. The Fisheries and Oceans Canada then allocates Pacific halibut among user groups in IPHC Regulatory Area 2B.
Canada's directed Pacific halibut fishery operates under an individual vessel quota (IVQ) system, where each licensed vessel is allocated a percentage of the IPHC Regulatory Area 2B catch limit to harvest at any time over an extended fishing season, historically March to November. In 2006, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) implemented a Groundfish Integrated Fisheries Management Plan (IFMP), where all vessels were accountable for all of their catch, both retained and discarded. All hook-and-line vessels, even those not officially licensed as Pacific halibut vessels, could retain and sell Pacific halibut as long as they had, or purchased, Pacific halibut quota shares to cover their catch.
In IPHC Regulatory Area 2B, in recent years, two British Columbian ports have received roughly 90 percent of the area's landed catch: Port Hardy and Prince Rupert/Port Edward. In 2016, Port Hardy received 46 percent of the area's commercial landed catch (2,718,000 pounds; 1,232.86 t), and Prince Rupert received 44 percent (2,646,000 pounds; 1,200.21 t). Ucluelet and Vancouver combined received seven percent of the commercial landed catch.

You must spot these charged levied on the by your budget. You could get the understanding of these disproportionate charges through the bank proclamation.
Most in the replies received by customers related to their reclaiming mortgage lender charges is the banks stating the fact that customers are actually mistaken during this issue knowing that the bills are lawful–banks extremely tactfully are more likely to refuse to cover against a person's reclaiming bank or investment company charges.

Your commercial real-estate transaction would not close until the mortgage is accepted. You could also improve the funds flow if your interest rate to the loan is normally low.

Moreover, the lender/loan servicer could very well reject your loan presumption application regarding various explanations as there are actually no formidable incentives correctly to take action. The bank loan servicer may impose fresh conditions towards loan predictions approval, raise reserve sum by many hundred a multitude dollars.
Even while you are allowed to be able to prepay typically the loan, it expenses an arm together with a leg if you would like prepay any loan. The prepayment penalty is normally called Defeasance. Basically you should pay any difference with interest concerning the note rate of one's loan and also the applicable ALL OF US Treasury rate for your remaining years from the loan!

Description of ConvertKit
ConvertKit is an email Service provider that's specifically marketed towards bloggers, podcasters, and other businesses that are building audiences.
It was started by Nathan Barry who had been a fan ofbeing a regular reader of the blog.
For a short moment, it was Rebranded to Seva, until they reverted back to ConvertKit.

Even if you don't end up using ConvertKit, his blog posts are always interesting and I suggest giving Nathan a followup.Email Receipt Software
What isn't So good about ConvertKit
Poor Part #1: Limited set of triggers/actions for innovative automations
Here are the causes available on ConvertKit.
Compare this with ActiveCampaign.
This means you can't really build The same type of complex automations you can in ActiveCampaign or Drip.
You also won't receive advanced Attributes in ConvertKit such as page tracking and lead scoring.
And that I miss having listing management Activities like unsubscribing people so you can do routine list hygiene.
Bad Part #2: Restricted A/B Testing
A/B testing is also a very important Attribute to have for almost any email service. Doing this regularly will help you better your open and conversion rates.
ConvertKit allows you to split Test your subject lines like this:
Which is helpful, for sure.
But there is no way to split test For things like delivery time, email body content, or automations.
Bad Part #3: Not a ton of customization choices for templates and forms
I really do like the forms which ConvertKit provides. They are nice and clean.
But the form editor is very Limited. Besides color, there is not much you can change. By way of instance, there's no way to change the font for any one of the text.
Unless you are willing to add in Your own CSS.
This is not a big deal for me personally, as I use Thrive Leads for my own forms. However, for people who do not use a third party tool, the absence of customization might be an issue.
Poor Part #4: No email templates
I don't personally send out email Newsletter type emails, so this isn't so big a deal with me.
But I know some companies do want This, that is why MailChimp is still common.
ConvertKit includes a few email Templates, but the procedure for using them is very dull. You will want to muck about with HTML and CSS that not everybody wants to do.
So you'll want to look elsewhere If this is what you want.
Some of The Best Features
Cool Characteristic #1: Seamless Visual Automation Editor
I really like the ConvertKit's Visual automation editor. It's a joy to use, especially once you compare it to a number of the additional automation editors on the market.
That is because ConvertKit makes Editing every step on your automation workflow easy.
Let us say one of the steps in Your automation is sending an emailaddress. With other providers, editing the email will take you out of the automation editor and into another email editor webpage. This can allow you to lose context of what you're doing.
With ConvertKit, what's Done within the automation editor . So clicking on an email step will make it possible for you to edit it inline. And you can also edit your types in precisely the same way.
It is a great experience and it Puts other automation editors to pity.
Cool Feature #2: Simple Segmentation within emails
Another Helpful feature is ConvertKit's ability to segment individual emails using conditional tags.
So let us say you wanted to create A single email to a list, but add a bonus voucher to your VIP clients. You can do this in ConvertKit such as this:
Pretty cool, right?
The syntax may look somewhat Odd to non-techies and you may have difficulty remembering what to type when you proceed to use it.
To help with this, you can click On the Personalize menu in the editor toolbar and then click the Subscriber's tags menu item. ConvertKit will then add the appropriate code snippet template straight into your email.
All you need to do is change to Your tag, and upgrade the content for both branches.
Cool Feature #3: Automobile resend broadcasts to un-opens
Each time you send out a Broadcast email, a certain proportion of people will not open it. Hubspot claims advertising and marketing emails just get 25% email open rates.
Maybe you did not write a good Headline, or else they were too busy at the time to take a look.
ConvertKit has a fantastic feature Where you can resend your air to the men and women who did not open it the first time.
This is available in stats page, Where you will see a button named Resend to Unopens.
Pressing it will Permit You to Re-send your email again, where you're able to make changes to your Subject Line if you wish.
I like this because you are able to Boost the eyeballs you receive for every single broadcast you ship out.
Cool Feature #4: Lead Magnet Double Opt-in
There are debates everywhere About whether you should use double breasted vs single opt-in.
The main reason why you need Double opt-in is that it will enhance your email list quality. But the principal argument against is the excess measure will damage your conversions.
All this is accurate.
However, if you are using lead Magnets, then ConvertKit can manage double opt-in for you automatically like this.
After the user clicks the downloading Button to acquire their lead magnetthey are automatically opted in. So you get the best of both worlds! Email Receipt Software

Details of ConvertKit
ConvertKit consists of 5 major building blocks. Let us take a glance at each.
Types are how you get readers Into your accounts. ConvertKit permits you to create both kinds and landing pages.
Forms may be embedded on any page Of your site, or through a standard modal popup. Landing pages are its own dedicated page hosted on ConvertKit's servers or your own site via a WordPress plugin.
There are 3 main styles to choose From for regular forms. Full, Minimal, and Clean.
As mentioned above, the kind Editor does not give you lots of customization options, although the built-in styles have a nice clean look to them.
Landing pages also only have 3 Styles to pick from and the exact same limited customization choices.
To tie everything together, let's Talk about ConvertKit's automations.
In ConvertKit, readers can Input an automation in 4 distinct ways.
Through a form, getting tagged, Possessing a custom area updated, or from a purchase.
From there, you can add an Event, Action or Condition.
Actions would be the easiest to understand. The most common actions are incorporating a contributor to one of your email sequences, add or remove a tag, setting a customized field, or introducing a delay.
Conditions let you branch your Automation based on a tag or custom area.
So you could use branching to Have your VIP clients go down 1 path and your non-VIPs go right down a separate path like this:
Last, you have Events, which pull your contributor Forward to another step in the automation when an event occurs.
Let's say one of the readers Is on day 2 of the 5 part email sequence, which will be trying to get them to buy your product.
You can add an event to your Automation using the Add tag event. If on day 2, the contributor buys your product (and you label them as a customer), it will pull them from their current email sequence they had been in.
Which is handy because you won't Annoy them with the last 3 emails in your order (by asking them to buy) because they are presently a client of yours.
ConvertKit's automation editor is Extremely fast and easy to use. As mentioned previously, I really like the ability to seamlessly edit emails and forms right within the editor .
It makes for a much greater Expertise when creating new automations.
Sending one-way mails in ConvertKit is straightforward.
Since there are no lists in ConvertKit, whenever you send a broadcast email you'll want to use their filter mechanism to target who you will be sending your air to.
You'll most often use the Subscribed to filter where you Can segment your broadcast to certain forms, tags, strings or products.
The email editor is only your Standard HTML email editor, with a couple extra options. Click on the A/B button next to the subject line and you're able to start a split evaluation between a couple different headlines.
The personalization button can be Used to input in merge tags into your email or to utilize the in-email label segmentation I talked about above.{ Email Receipt Software
Sequences are at which you can Create a string of emails that get sent to your readers in a predefined schedule of your own choice.
On the left, you'll notice all of the Mails on your series along with when they will be sent out. You can drag emails around on the left to rapidly alter the order they're sent.
To the right, you'll see the same Email editor as you possibly get for Broadcasts. So the very same characteristics apply, except you can not split test subject lines .
Unlike MailChimp or Aweber, ConvertKit is label and not record predicated. This means that you have a single database of readers on your ConvertKit account.
To set subscribers together, You can use tags or create segments. With sections, you can do things like developing a group of connections which subscribed before a particular date.
Or group subscribers by location Or any custom field you make.
ConvertKit also lets you drill Down into any particular subscriber you've got. You can see things like what sequences they are on, what emails you've sent , and if you are performing e-commerce, what goods they've bought from you.
What Else Is there to know?
How is Their support?
ConvertKit's support is great from My expertise. While there is no phone support like Aweber has, they offer email and live chat 365 days per year, 24 hours a day.
Email response time ranges from 2-3 hours in my experience. But live chat is generally pretty responsive.
Do they Have a busy community?
They've a Facebook group Called The ConvertKit Family. It now has 6k members and averages around 6 posts each day.
It's a good spot to get your Questions answered by additional ConvertKit users.
What Integrations do they provide?
ConvertKit includes a ton of third-party integrations. I now rely 86 at the time of this review, such as with tools such as LeadPages, ClickFunnels, SamCart, and Shopify.
You can find the full listing Of ConvertKit integrations here.
How Great is ConvertKit for direct magnets?
ConvertKit is awesome for lead magnets. Not only will it host your guide magnets for you, the automatic double breasted is a great feature.
How Good is ConvertKit for eCommerce?
ConvertKit is becoming quite a little better when it comes to eCommerce. They simply launched a new feature that's going to allow you to track every purchase made by a subscriber.
What makes this cool is that you just Can then start automations according to a purchase.
It's only working together with Shopify and Teachable in The moment, but this has a great deal of potential when they get things working with all e-commerce integrations.
Can it Handle live webinars or events?
To handle live events and Webinars, you have to be able to send emails out at a specific date and time. It's typical for webinars to send out multiple emails at specific times until it starts, for example 24 hours 8 hours 10 minutes earlier, etc..
ConvertKit can handle live events And webinars through broadcasts only. Which isn't too suitable because then you need to schedule all of your mails manually.
It'd be preferable if ConvertKit gave you a way to send emails at a particular time and date. But that is currently not possible through sequences or automations.
Can they Have an affiliate program?
Yes, ConvertKit offers the Standard recurring commissions as part of its affiliate program. The affiliate program can be hosted on Ambassador.
Alexis is their affiliate Manager, and she really does a nice job of keeping you updated about the numerous promotions they are running.
Who is Switching over to ConvertKit?
ConvertKit has been rising by Leaps and bounds, and I am reading about people switching to ConvertKit daily.
Here are a Couple of examples of Bloggers who have switched over to ConvertKit in their previous email service:
– Why I Switched To ConvertKit: The Unofficial Definitive Review
– Why I Switched From Aweber To ConvertKit
– 10 Reasons Why I Switched From Aweber to ConvertKit
ConvertKit Vs MailChimp
MailChimp includes a couple of Things going for it versus ConvertKit. It's cheaper, and it's better email templates.
But for everything else, ConvertKit certainly wins out. Particularly when you compare MailChimp's crappy automation editor contrary to the beautiful ConvertKit one.
Plus ConvertKit has tags that Gives you much better flexibility for segmenting your readers. MailChimp is extremely much lacking there.
ConvertKit Vs Aweber
The only reason I would Urge Aweber versus ConvertKit is if you're purely performing affiliate marketing/CPA offers. Then, it might be more difficult to get acceptance on ConvertKit, and Aweber are your very best option.
Aweber can be marginally cheaper Than ConvertKit.
Otherwise, ConvertKit is much better Compared to Aweber at pretty much everything else, including automations.
ConvertKit Vs ActiveCampaign
This is a much tougher comparison. ActiveCampaign is a great email marketing program, with a lot of features for power users. You are able to do more with its own automations, and it's better split testing capabilities.
Price wise, it's cheaper than ConvertKit at reduced subscriber amounts, but it's more expensive as you add more and more contacts.
However, ConvertKit is simpler to use, Using a nicer and tabbed interface.
Which one you should pick depends On your business requirements. Would you like something which just works for everyday email marketing tasks, without a ton of effort? Then ConvertKit could make a fantastic option.
But if you need more advanced or Complex automations, then ActiveCampaign is the better way to go.
ConvertKit's uses exactly the same tiered Pricing model as many other email services perform. So the purchase price goes up the more readers you have.
In comparison to its competitors, ConvertKit's pricing comes out in the middle of the pack at lesser subscriber levels.
But as you get beyond 10,000 Subscribers and beyond, ConvertKit actually does not jump up as much in cost as a number of the remainder.
Prices below are in case you pay Monthly, but should you pre-pay annual, you receive two months of service free.
ConvertKit doesn't normally Provide a free trial. But sometimes for different promotions, you may see them promoting a 30-day trial.
I've never seen some ConvertKit Discounts either. They do offer a wonderful 30-day money-back guarantee, nevertheless. Email Receipt Software
When I originally wrote this ConvertKit inspection, it was an up and coming email marketing support.
But three years later, ConvertKit Has firmly established itself as one of the significant players in the email marketing space.
Marketing automation is the Potential for email. It can help you target your clients better, resulting in higher conversion and sales.
What ConvertKit does is create Marketing automations really accessible to non-techie men and women. It also provides you with a headache-free consumer experience.
While it may not be the Strongest email marketing software out there, it does not aim to be. You have to understand it's an email service that's targeted towards bloggers and other content creators.
Just Be Sure You know its Limits, and choose whether you're ok with it.
If You're, then I highly Recommend you give ConvertKit an attempt.

Borrowing credit can feel like a very daunting process if you're unfamiliar with what's involved.
Therefore, it's always good to know the basics before you go ahead borrowing money; by asking yourself and the lender questions, you'll both be fully aware of what is going on.
What is the ideal amount to borrow?
Although it may sound like a very simple question to ask yourself, the amount people borrow can often be their downfall. You need to seriously consider how much you need to take out, if you can manage with only a £2,000 loan, don't opt for a £4,000 as it's unnecessary. Furthermore, the higher the amount you borrow, the higher your interest rate. Another important aspect is to shop around for the best deal, don't just simply settle for the first loan option you're offered. You need to make sure it works for you and your needs.
How long do you need to borrow it for?
Despite the fact that loans may be a very convenient and a useful resource to utilise, you need to understand that the quicker you repay your loan, the better it can be for you. Not only does a quick repayment mean you don't need to keep paying interest to others, but it also means your interest rate will be lower. The longer you borrow, the higher it goes. That being said, borrowing for longer does mean more manageable monthly repayments, and lower APR.
Will the loan be secured?
Prior to borrowing money, it's best to know the difference between secured and unsecured loans. Quite simply, a secured loan means the lender will require some form of security before lending any money, such as your property or a car. However, an unsecured loan means no collateral is required for the transaction, meaning you aren't at risk of losing your house if you default on payment. Normally, unsecured loans are student, personal, or payday loans as they tend to be smaller amounts.
Is it flexible of fixed?
Not only do you need to know about secured and unsecured loans, but you also need to be knowledgeable about flexible or fixed interest rates when evaluating a loan. Broken down, a flexible rate means the interest on your loan can change and could go either up or down. A fixed rate is an agreement that is a constant – your interest rate and payment agreements will remain the same throughout the loan. A fixed rate is ideal if you're confident your circumstances won't change dramatically.
What fees are involved?
When you're taking out a loan it's always vital that you read the small print to ensure you don't misunderstand the deal you're getting. If you don't know every aspect of your loan agreement, you could get caught out by unexpected fees. In the end, any fees will add to the overall cost of your loan, and is something to bear in mind throughout the process.
Another element to consider is your eligibility for the loan you've applied for; various factors can hinder your success. Major factors include income, age, credit rating, and residence – you need to be realistic about your likelihood of success when you apply. Also, if you've placed too many loan applications, you're at the risk of making the wrong impression and appearing desperate for money. Therefore, it is always best to check your credit score before each application to evaluate your own profile in the same way lenders see you and reduce the likelihood of rejection.
What is the APR?
APR is often a term we see, but have no idea what it actually means. Put simply, it stands for annual percentage rate, and basically indicts the yearly rate that's charged for borrowing money. Even though lenders are required to be completely transparent with the APR of your loan, make sure to ask questions if your APR doesn't match what's stated. You also need to keep in mind that more APR will result in higher repayments, and therefore a higher interest rate.
There is so much to think about when taking out a loan that many people don't give enough time and consideration to. To ensure you are fully comfortable with the loan you finally receive, make sure to totally understand what you want.
Finally, always check the representative APR before applying for a loan. The example provided by the lender has to dictate the offer which is applicable to 51% of individuals.
For Example:
4.3% APR Representative. Loan amount £10,000 for £185.32 per month over 60 months. Total amount repayable £11,119.20. Rate of interest per annum 4.3% fixed.

The official number of bodies recovered from the Clinton estate in upstate New York is 14, says Quantico's Chief Medical Examiner:
"We have found, altogether, the complete remains of 14 human beings, all believed to be female in their late teens through early 20s. It looks like the most recent was reported missing in 2005. That number includes the three women recovered last night. Their torsos were in one of the other barrels. Not all 14 have been identified yet."LOTF correspondent on the scene Anatata Fukkuhiro says that no cameras or interviews are being allowed but that she can clearly see the Clintons still sitting calmly on their front porch in rocking chairs:
"It's like they're taunting the FBI. They just sit there, having told the FBI they won't be answering any questions until the recovery is complete and they can meet in a neutral location. It doesn't seem like they have anything to worry about."Clinton spokesman Christopher Blair told us:
"Of course they're not worried, you nitwits. You fell for this same shtick last time. Were you not paying attention when they discovered a serial killer who lived next door until a year or two ago? They might be thinking HE would be the obvious choice if you had to point fingers. Try not to be so stupid."He may be the reason the Clintons aren't worried but the rest of us know they are far more dangerous than a guy who was caught killing a few people a bunch of years ago. Of course the Clintons should be the first suspect.

Fear not BMW fans, the Bavarian brand may have finally heard your cries. Ever since the debut of the BMW i8, the idea of a mid-engined BMW supercar seemed more realistic than ever. Fans have been begging BMW for such a car ever since, to only have their dreams crushed when BMW would deny a supercar for the future. Well, it turns out that a BMW supercar may be coming after all. And McLaren will be helping BMW build it.
A new chairman, Harald Krüger (who we all hope is doing well) and new M Division Boss, Frank Van Meel have brought new life to the idea of a BMW supercar. The idea was actually previously in the works, before the BMW i8 had been born. The idea was to make a supercar with a carbon fiber tub that would house a mid-engine V8. However, the previous bosses at BMW squashed the idea, claiming that it was too expensive and that it would tarnish the green image BMW had spent billions on trying to create at the time. So after many failed proposals for such a supercar, the BMW i8 was born.
While incredibly impressive and fantastic to drive, the BMW i8 doesn't quench the supercar thirst had by so many enthusiast, especially the BMW M engineers. BMW's M team wants to create a supercar and it seems that the new BMW bosses are game for it.
This supercar, not scheduled to hit the road until 2019, will be a coupe at first with a roadster possibly coming later and will be co-developed by McLaren. The British supercar company will design and develop a carbon fiber tub as well as the chassis. Both McLaren and BMW will have their own versions of this joint supercar and they will both be built off of the same chassis, the same one being developed for the P16, McLaren's next supercar.
BMW will provide the power plant, which is rumored to be a 4.0 liter V8 with four, yes four, turbochargers. Two will be exhaust driven while the other two will be electrically driven, it's been rumored. This is said to make around 750 hp, which would be more than any McLaren gasoline engine to date.
The two cars should looks considerably different and the chassis is being developed with scaling in mind. The BMW version will have some unique body panels as well as a unique interior with a bespoke instrument panel as well as infotainment. BMW will likely use its own electronics as that's something it's a bit better than McLaren at, which is just a benefit of being the larger company.
This is some of the best news BMW fans have heard in a long time. We're all hoping, with every finger and toe crossed, that this is true and not another wonderful supercar that BMW squashes, like it has so many times. The pairing of BMW and McLaren is absolutely perfect. It's something that's been done before and the last time it happened the two companies created what is considered by many to be the greatest road-going car ever made, the McLaren F1. Here's to hoping that our dreams come true and the two companies can pull off magic yet again.

When you reply to some emails, the quoted reply appears on one very long line.
It's usually caused by someone using a lame email program (not to mention any names, but I've seen it most often with users of particular programs) that doesn't correctly wrap outgoing email messages; they just send a single, long line of text for each paragraph.
This isn't a problem when you're reading emails from people who don't realize they're using a broken mailer, because Mozilla automatically wraps the lines for you. But when you go to reply to it... Hello, horizontal scrollbar.
Mozilla provides a useful menu option for dealing with unruly emails like
that; just hit
Edit > Rewrap and you're done, right? But
it has the unfortunate side effect of moving the cursor to the very end of
the email, regardless of where you had it before. Wouldn't it be nice to
have it stay where you put it? Heck, for that matter, wouldn't it be nice if
you didn't have to worry about it at all?
The Solution:
AutoRewrap. Just install this handy little (6KB) extension into Mozilla or Thunderbird, and it does the rewrapping for you, as soon as you start a reply. No extra keystrokes needed on your part, either to do the rewrapping or to put the cursor back where you wanted it!
Install it today, and never worry again about replying to broken emails!
The Author:
David Perry, a Mozilla enthusiast and XUL hacker with an itch to scratch. This is my second (relatively) full-fledged extension, though I've done bits and pieces on a few others as well.

John Hambrock at the Kenosha Public Museum
John Hambrock is the creator of the comic strip The Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee. It first appeared in newspapers on November 12, 2006, and is syndicated worldwide by King Features Syndicate. He was at the Kenosha Public Museum this afternoon in the Artist's Studio talking about and displaying his work.
His cartoon works and the works of other cartoonists are on display at the museum through September 29th. The name of the exhibit is, "More Than Funny: Cartoons and Comics From the Kenosha Festival of Cartooning." Cartoons and comics displayed are from such artists as Hambrock, Dave Coverly, Greg Cravens, Norm Feuti, Stephan Pastis, Hilary Price, and Michael Jantze. Some of the cartoons even explain to the reader the exact steps the artist takes in developing his/her work. On the 29th, a fundraiser auction will be held at the Rhode Theatre, in conjuction with the Festival of Cartooning, auctioning off some of the artwork currently on display.
Here are a few pictures of some of the cartoons which are currently on display in the South Gallery of the museum (on the second level):
Hambrock was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The youngest of three boys from a working class household, he would call Ft. Wayne his home until leaving for college at the age of 18. Hambrock did not have a career as a cartoonist in mind; initially, during his early years, it was marine biology. While he was interested in science, it was the arts in which he finally majored.
Hambrock was voted the most artistic male in his senior class in high school. He then attended Indiana University. He has a degree in Graphic Design, from the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida.
While in college, he and a team of four other student team members won first place in the Philip Morris National Marketing Competition for college students. His creative team was honored at the headquarters of Philip Morris in New York City. He also received numerous industry awards during his years as a graphic designer, both in Chicago and in Wisconsin.
In 1985, soon after finishing college, he was recruited by James Courtenay James, Inc., a small design agency in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In 1986, he moved to Chicago and went to work for The Hirsch Design Group, a mid-sized loop design firm.
Hambrock left Hirsch after 10 years to start his agency, In-House Communications. His company specializes in industrial advertising, packaging and print design, with a client list that includes major industrial and retail manufacturers, as well as one of the country's leading law firms.
In 1986, Hambrock married Anne, whom he has known since high school. Anne became the driving force in helping him achieve success in his cartooning career. They have two sons and a daughter.
While at The Hirsch Design Group, Hambrock had the opportunity to work on the Keebler cookie and cracker account. It was here that he was introduced to the Keebler Elves. Drawing Ernie the Elf opened his eyes to the passion of cartooning. It was this passion, combined with a love of science, an interest in politics, and a flair for writing, that eventually led to the creation of The Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee. Launched by King Features Syndicate on November 12, 2006, the comic strip is celebrating continued success in newspapers worldwide.

My name is Betsy Klein and this is my third year at LCCS as a Special Education teacher. I graduated from Ramapo College in 2013 where I received my B.A. in Visual Arts and my Elementary Certification. A year after graduating I decided to take courses at Kean University to obtain a Teacher of Students with Disabilities certification. I was previously a paraprofessional in the Mountainside school district for two years. I have worked with students in first through sixth grades and have gained great experience from the different age groups. I knew I wanted to be a special education teacher when I was filling in for a teacher for a whole month and I loved the size of the classroom, the ability to talk with each student, and watching them succeed when the content was difficult for them. I am also a painter and enjoy creating images in an abstract way. In high school I had a sculpture displayed in a small art gallery in New York City. I love working on new art projects, big or small. I have painted on multiple surfaces from canvases to walls to furniture. I am looking forward to a new and great school year.
This year we are using a new curriculum called Eureka Math. It is sectioned by modules and includes discussion questions for students to explore what they already know and build on their current knowledge.

I get to play at school. No, really. And so do our students.
This time, we gave birth to an idea of converting a couple of broken plastic desktops destined for the rubbish tip into a giant Monopoly set (not a new idea). And this was not going to be just an extraordinary set in size. The challenge was on and today – we played our first game!
The set is 'ours', based on our (school) surrounds and places, streets, stations, utilities where our students spend their lives. The custom Community Chest and Chance cards are a work of many suggestions from students and staff in person or via Moodle forum, full of lines some of which only we would fully appreciate and laugh or curse at. Cards were designed and worked on collaboratively by several people via Google Docs.
On the 'physical' side, the tables were cleaned, sanded, primed, painted, balanced, hinged and carefully detailed – again by many! Cards had to be printed, cut, laminated, shaped and collated, thanks to the work of a bunch of students over the week in a very relaxed working atmosphere.
But this was not just 'anything goes'. In design, for example, everyone was encouraged to have a go at even the trickiest little detail. "Go on, have a go and don't worry if you stuff up. But do know there are standards expected and you can just do it again if not ship shape." (eg. all letters had to be stencilled, no free hand). Failure was no huge deal but willingness to (first, at least) have a go and improve WAS. Some kids contributed a little, some a lot, none of it compulsory, none of it forced.
There were kids who handled a power drill for the first time, done their first roller paint, first masking tape, those who learned the need for a washer under a nut, learned the difference between oil and water-based paints (made an interesting clean up time I tell you 😛 …). there were kids who gave up but came back to do a better job. There were kids who had done nothing all term but were now happy to spend a couple hours working on the cards, laminating, contributing card entries. There were kids who saw the 'magic' of a collaborative online doc via Google Docs for the first time and more …
And then there were questions! Last week, I tweeted a link to a document to encourage deeper questions about our lives that games like Monopoly can stimulate. And have we got some beauties there – thank you @7mrsjames @drb @scratchie @malynmawby @billgx for your contributions.
We have already asked the kids, casually as we were making the set, and more formally this morning in class, to reflect on some the questions asked. And, as expected, the occasion generated some gems of insight. So far, we have touched on themes of (I'll list, so many there, statements are all students' unless indicated otherwise):
- poverty ("oh, but I live in Medina (lowest property on our board), that makes me a poor **** doesn't it"),
- economics ("if the bank just printed more money everything would just get more expensive, people wouldn't actually have more of stuff … [inflation anyone?]),
- equity ("yeah but if some ****** has everything to start with how harder is it for me then. That's bullshit, not fair!…),
- opportunity ("some players get behind but they can make up for it and get smart and start winning…"),
- racism, prejudice of kinds ("if you had a special rule for one player and they couldn't get shit unless they did what others asked them to do … that would suck, I wouldn't want to be that."),
- importance of learning ("Monopoly is about half luck and half skill". Me: So, you have no control over luck but you have control over skill. How do you get that? Student: You learn stuff and understand. Me: Bit like in real life? Student: Hmmm … yeah, it's a bit like that yes.)
- moral choices ("… but if you could just steal stuff and everyone else would steal yours and you want to then carry a shotgun around that wouldn't be good in the end."),
- philosophy of happiness ("I don't know what makes a successful person. In Monopoly you have to be rich I suppose, I real life you don't always have to be but it's boss if you are because you can buy shit and all that…")
… and more!
All these are individual gems, many overheard by others in the chaos and teenage noise but they were like a razor cutting through to what I believe is the purpose of great education – learn how to ask and wrestle with questions, problems that matter to you and the people you share a community with.
Thank you to all question contributors, thank you for your supportive tweets all along (you know who you are 🙂 ). Most of all, a massive thank you to the 16 contributing students and 3 staff members at our school for making this happen and giving us a sense of being a part of something good, successful, enjoyable and maybe, just maybe, triggering a few lifelong reminders.
Now that you got through all these words … please do check out the photos 😉 (click on the image to see larger). Cheers!

- 14-year-old Ylona Garcia was the first runner-up to last year's 'Pinoy Big Brother: 737', who is now known for her singing and acting career
- She shared with the press the worst comments she got on social media but affirmed that she has not replied to any of them
- Garcia has also been a victim of bullying in Australia for her heritage
With tremendous success comes a troop of bashers.
This side effect of fame was what prompted former Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) housemate Ylona Garcia to talk about some of the worst comments she got on social media.
(photo credit: lifestyle.abs-cbn.com)
During an exclusive interview with Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP.ph), she said that these haters thought that she was not pretty enough to be in show business.
READ ALSO: YES! AlDub tops 2016 'Most Beautiful Stars'
"When people said that I should get my face done. That I don't belong here. That I don't even belong in showbiz," were some of the worst lines she received.
However, it did not stop there - some of the comments she got from these bashers were way below the belt.
"[Some said] that I don't even belong in this world. That I don't even belong to my mommy," she shared.
READ ALSO: Look at these stunning Pinay celebrities without makeup!
Despite the scathing remarks left on her social media pages, she has never responded to any of them.
"People say whatever they want to say because I just put myself out there. I don't reply to it kasi (because) that's their opinion and I respect that. That's who they are as a person. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so I'm okay with that. What I do is I just love. Yeah!"
PEP.ph's interview comes after the press conference of her debut album, 'My Name is Ylona', where she also shared another instance of being bullied.
READ ALSO: Badjao Girl is now a badass model!
"When I was in grade 4, I was bullied for my skin, for the way I speak, for the way I basically [am]—being me," she said.
The bullying she received made her accept her strengths and weaknesses, and eventually helped her in surviving one of the difficult stages in her life.
(photo credit: onemusic.ph)
"One thing I learned from that was to stay strong always. They are just bullying you for what was God-given," she added.
The 14-year-old singer/actress was born in Australia to Filipino parents and is the third child among five siblings.
Despite having been joining singing competitions in her adoptive homeland, her big break was when she joined 'Pinoy Big Brother: 737' last year where she became the show's first runner-up.

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
—Psalm 118:24
I watched as the juvenile heron walked on the edge of the water.
He was so small—at least when compared to what he would someday be.
You see, he's not just any heron.
He's a Great Blue Heron.
There will come a day when he will be large and graceful with flowing feathers off the top of his head.
That day has not come yet, but God has made it so that it will.
We have an internal map made by God, as well.
We are babies and children for a few short years, then we become adults.
When we are "born again" as a new Christian, we begin a growth process, also.
When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are "new" Christians.
We are young in our faith, but we are on a pathway of change as we learn to trust God more and more.
It is okay to be new.
We will be different one day.
God has made it so that we will.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Created a cpio file of files approximately the size of compressed audio files.
2.Unpack that file on a mounted 4GB SD card
3.After near 512MB (approximately) the system will become sluggish (logging
activity likely sucking all of the CPU)
4. The cpio unpacking stops with Input/Output Error

I'm using my notebook's (Dell Inspiron 6000) SD card reader:

Created attachment 149246 [details]
/var/log/messages while inserting the SD via a USB2.0 reader
This is very likely unrelated: I'm attempting to insert the SD card using a
USB 2.0 SD card reader. The attached file is the logged output during the
device insert (and removal: after the line with "REMOVED").
I do get a /dev/sdb device, but fdisk will not read it. I'm definitely NOT
getting the /dev/sdb1 partition which I can still get on the SD card slot on
the notebook after a eject and insert cycle.
I want to use this SD card reader so I can reformat the SD card.
For what it's worth. I have not yet rebooted since the BUG that started this
bug report.
This bug might have to do with using larger than 2GB SD card than with any
general bug. I was able to upload the data without problems to a 2GB SD card
using 2.6.20-1.2981.fc7. I have not retested the 4 GB card with this kernel.
I think this is actually a hardware defect with a lot of cheaper card readers.
I managed to duplicate this with a 4GB card, using a reader that exhibited
similar problems that you describe. Why I think this is a hardware problem is
that it corrupted the card on Windows too.
There are two types of >2GB cards out there.
- SDHC cards (which need an SDHC capable reader)
- old format SD cards that break the spec and just happen to work on some
readers, but not all.
I don't think there's much we can do here.
