Percy, whose status on the PGA Tour is based on his standing between 126th and 150th on the FedEx Cup table in 2017, will gain only spasmodic starts on the PGA Tour, this being just his fourth start of the 2017/2018 season.
Percy is two shots behind the opening round leaders, Kevin Streelman and PGA Tour rookie Beau Hossler, and is one of only three players inside the top fifteen who played the Monterey Peninsula Country Club.
The other two courses in the three venue rota, Pebble Beach Links and Spyglass Hill, appeared, on the surface at least, to play a little easier than Monterey Peninsula and so Percy has made an encouraging start.
Streelman has played well in each of the last two years at Pebble Beach and although seldom contending of late he hardly ever misses a cut these days and his consistency in that regard has been rewarded with a fine start this week.
Hossler graduated from the Web.Com Tour last year where he finished runner-up on two occasions, the outstanding former amateur now established in the professional ranks after attending the University of Texas.
Of the Australians aside from Percy, Jason Day began and finished his round of 3 under 69 with bogeys but did well enough in between at Spyglass Hill to be in a share of 32nd position, Rod Pampling is 53rd after his round of 69 at Monterey Peninsula, while Aaron Baddeley and Greg Chalmers opened with rounds of 71 at the same course to be 71st.
Stuart Appleby is 114th after his round of 73 as is Australian Open Champion Cameron Davis, Matt Jones is another shot back but for Adam Scott, playing his first event in more then two months, he opened with 77 to be 149th in the 156 player field.
Pre tournament favourite and Pebble Beach Links course specialist Dustin Johnson opened with a round of 5 under 67, while Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm are at 4 under and Jordan Spieth even par 72.

One argument that is often used for keeping instant replay out of Major League Baseball is the "human element" that is involved in the game. The umpires are the first and only word when it comes to making calls out on the field. A bad call on a bang-bang play or different strike zones among empires could definitely change the course of a ballgame but that is the way the game has been played for a century and a half. Traditionalists would argue that baseball is as old fashioned a sport as you can get and the game should continue to be played in the same fashion.
"If the first week of the year is any indication, the Sox will have no problem shutting down games if a starter carries a lead past the sixth inning," said Stankevitz.
Pena's an interesting option because the White Sox won't need a fifth starter more than a few times before early May. Using Pena in a swingman role could allow the Sox to delay their decision on, say, Alejandro de Aza/Brent Lillibridge or at third base for a month longer by carrying an extra position player. Either that, or the Sox could deepen their bullpen by keeping two of Gregory Infante/Jhonny Nunez/Anthony Carter/Freddy Dolsi in case the Sox needed an extra innings-eater to fill Pena's role when he has an upcoming start. Pena actually had two starts I'd qualify as "good" last year, but those were two of just three career starts-not exactly a good sample size. Plus, Pena is slated to be in the Sox bullpen, so he may not even get a crack at the rotation this spring.
Yet even before Rodriguez had his first at-bat to lead off the second, the Yankees were already down by 3-0. It got to 7-0 after just three innings, as Andy Pettitte — another icon of the steroid era — was chased out after getting only eight outs.
15. Washington Nationals – The Nationals are a better team than they showed for much of the season, but don't buy into the way they played in September, which featured a lot of games against their terrible division.
Jason Frasor is a graduate from Oak Forest High School and pitched for Southern Illinois University. His record this year is 2-1 with an ERA of 2.98, 37 strikeouts and 10 holds. Stewart was sent to the minors. Frasor will definately be an added bonus to the bullpen that already has sale jerseys, Matt Thornton and Sergio Santos.
Simply put, Harrell doesn't strike out enough opponents while walking too many. He appeared in eight games-three starts-with the 2010 White Sox and hardly looked impressive in those 24 innings, walking 17 and striking out 15. Like Humber, Harrell has been mediocre in triple-A, posting FIPs of 4.34 and 4.46 in 2009 and 2010 with Charlotte. Harrell doesn't have much-if any-edge over Humber, and that's not saying a whole lot.

International exchanges play an essential role in maintaining French teams' excellence; they also testify to such excellence. In addition to a large number of voluntary partnerships and collaboration agreements, Insmi organizes exchanges between networks through specific CNRS tools such as international research networks, international associated laboratories and international joint units.
Insmi's international research structures are distributed throughout the world as follows - the geographical areas are edited by the Direction of European research and international cooperation of CNRS (DERCI).
- International research networks (GDRI, Groupements de recherche internationaux) bring together several laboratories from two or more countries to coordinate research on a specific topic;
- International associated laboratories (LIA, Laboratoires internationaux associés) bring together partner institutions (PI) that contribute human and material resources to a jointly-defined project;
- International joint units (UMI, Unités mixtes internationales) are full-fledged laboratories that are located in other countries than France and staffed by personnel from both the CNRS and the partner country. The UMI device is the tightest level of cooperation the CNRS may build with a foreign institution: the UMI labs have equal status to the CNRS laboratories in France. The Insmi's UMIs are thus located:
Besides, researchers may respond to annual calls for two kinds of proposals:
- Joint Research Projects (PRC) which are jointly selected and financed by the CNRS and a partner institution abroad;
- International Program for Scientific Cooperation (PICS) which are cooperation projects based on an ongoing collaborative relationship.
The calls for proposals are coordinated by the Direction of European research and international cooperation (DERCI).

Vers une société de mobilité
Les jeunes, l'emploi et le logement
Towards a Mobility Society. Youth, Employment and Housing
In France, despite the implementation of various public policies, the rate of youth unemployment has continued to rise since the 1970s. Is this an inevitable phenomenon? Have the obstacles to labour market insertion truly been identified?
Since it has been proven that living in a region with a high number of available skilled jobs systematically increases one's chances of finding employment, it seems surprising that French youth exhibit very little professional mobility. Why do young individuals in France not move to benefit from better economic environments?
This volume reveals that this trend stems not so much from personal or family choices, but from the existence of public policies that hinder mobility. Housing polices and government employment schemes in fact tend to ensnare young people in immobility. The authors of this volume propose five public policy measures that would increase youth mobility and thus improve their labour market insertion rate.

Did you know that 78% of people[1] do not achieve their New Year's resolutions? And did you also know that over half of all New Year's resolutions have been resigned to the bin of failure by January 31?
With this damming statistic, what's the point of having New Year's resolutions at all?
The New Year signals a new beginning just as the dawn of each day does. We tend to mark the ending of the old year and celebrate the beginning of the New Year, which gives us a much-needed boost of energy and motivation during the darkest part of year. Given that most of us take time off over the festive period, it is great to time to take stock of the old year and plan ahead for the New Year. And, the great news is, despite all those statistics, there are loads of people who achieve one or more of their New Year's resolutions! The trick is to understand what these people do differently to those who abandon their resolutions within the first month.
You will be pleased to know that the difference that makes the difference in achieving New Year's resolutions is not vastly different to what it takes to achieve goals!
So what makes the difference?
1. Crown off the old year
So many of us set new resolutions or just rehash the old (not achieved) ones, without truly taking stock and highlighting to ourselves what we actually achieved over the course of the past year. It is very human phenomenon to forget past achievements and take for granted, and not giving those achievements (and thus ourselves) the appreciation, admiration and pride that is due to them.
Collate your achievement profile for 2011
I invite you now to take one hour out your busy festive period, and really go back over this year, and discover and celebrate these achievements. Really challenge yourself to identify your achievements, your biggest learnings, your best memories, even if they seem small or insignificant to you, write them down! Also check out my earlier article on Celebrating your successes improves confidence and self-esteem!
Create an achievement board
To make this really fun, consider creating an achievement board (similar to a future vision board, just for past achievements) where you mark your achievements by month or by area with symbols, funky colours, memorable drawings or pictures of yourself.
Give awards for your achievements
How about giving awards to those achievements? Examples of achievement awards could be:
- Most fun experience award
- 'I am so proud of myself' award
- Super happy award
- Most challenging achievement award
- Biggest learning award
Be really creative with those and make the awards ceremony really fun. This is also a fabulous exercise to do with your children (if you have any) or get group of girlfriends together and give each other awards!
Notice how you feel about 2011 once you have done that. I know, a lot of us may fall into the trap of cataloguing all the things we wanted to achieve, yet for some reason did not. If that is you, put these to one side until you get to step 2!
2. Focus on what is important to you
This may seem rather simple, however it is crucial. A lot of us set New Year resolutions (or any goals for that matter) for things that do not really matter to us. We set them because we feel we should because we did not achieve them the year before, other expect it of us or it is what everybody strives for.
Weed out de-motivating resolutions!
The thing is, if something does not truly matter to you, it will not motivate you to achieve it either. So, as a next step, list all your resolutions that you want to achieve (past, present and future) and consider the following questions (also check out my blog article on Motivation! ):
- What is really important to you about that resolution?
- Why is that important to you?
- What would happen if you achieved it?
- What would happen if you did not achieve it?
- How motivated are you by this resolution? (you could use a scale 0 (not at all)-10 (high), or high, medium, low to make this more real)
Ideally write the answers to your questions down for each resolution you have, and then consider the final question:
- If you could achieve only one thing in 2012 out of all those listed, what would that be?
Really go into yourself and find out what truly excites and lights you up. You may have several resolutions or goals for next year that you truly wish to achieve. If so, list them in order of priority.
Make your resolutions SMART
Almost everyone will have heard of SMART[2] goals. It is an approach that has been proven to work well for most people. I invite you now to take your priority resolutions and make them SMART. For each goal make it
- Specific and simple: what specifically do you want? When, where, how and with whom you want this?
- Meaningful to you: what does this resolution look like, sound like, feel like when you have achieved it? How do you know unequivocally that you are on the right track and that you have achieved?
- Achievable: where are you now and what resources will you need to achieve this goal? What are the smaller steps that you need to do to achieve the goal?
- Realistic: given what else is going on for you, how much time, effort and energy can you devote to you resolution? Be real!
- Timed and toward what you want: can you put dates to the small steps? And when are you going to take the first step towards you goal? Is the goal stated in positive language – what you do want and not what you don't want. Also check out my blog article How serious are you about your goals?
3. Stepping forth into the New Year
Now that we have weeded out those resolutions that don't motivate you, and have made those resolutions that totally matter to you SMART, the final step is to increase the energy and motivation behind those resolutions to make them even more compelling and self-motivating.
Do one at a time!
Trying to work on all your resolutions at the same time, could be a step too far. This is backed up Richard Wiseman's and other research. People who tend to fail in their New Year's resolutions are trying to do too much in too short a time.
So, choose the one resolution that will make the biggest difference to you (either it is the most fun to do, will make the biggest impact on your life, is the easiest to accomplish, or any other criterion that works for you).
Spread out your resolutions over the year
And then, schedule in your other resolutions throughout the year. Be clear when you will start on each one, and when you will have accomplished it by. Consider using a vision board as a fun reminder and as a way to keep track of your progress.
If you would rather wait with scheduling in the other resolutions or you decided on one resolution for 2012, consider reviewing your resolutions each month and doing monthly resolutions, which are also very effective and keep motivation up.
Taking the first step increases motivation
Motivation is not just a feeling of energy towards a goal, it is also about using that energy to take the first step! And that first step is crucial. So be really clear, what your first step is towards your New Year's resolution, and take it in the first week of January. No matter how small the step, you will find it is worthwhile.
The trick is to schedule the next step, as soon as the first step is completed and get into the habit to diarise the next step as soon as you have completed the previous step.
Share your resolution with others
Get friends and colleagues to support you in achieving your resolution. Most people around you want you to succeed. When you lose motivation or feel that it is not worth it anymore, those are the people who will root for you and help you get motivated again. And more often than not, sharing our resolutions with others opens up new, quicker and easier ways of getting what we want. So be brave and go public with your resolutions!
Let me know how you get on!

For a lazy Sunday, here's a healthier alternative to the standard English breakfast. Rich in protein.
So, first things first I had half a teaspoon of Glutamine 1/2 hour before eating (helps with repair to damaged gut, good for coeliacs recovering from eating gluten before diagnosis)
Next I fried onions, green peppers, garlic, mushrooms and left over boiled new potatoes from the night before. I added ground coriander, ground cumin and turmeric powder. Next, I put in some ready to eat green lentils and heated them up in the mix. Lentils are good protein and give slow releasing energy so a great start to the day, and they lower cholesterol levels as well as being good for digestive health.
Whilst this was all cooking, I heated some baked beans and made scrambled eggs. Served it all up on a plate with sliced cucumber and sprinkled over the top of the brunch sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds and roasted pine nuts. Sunflower seeds are high in energy and also a good source of protein as well as being a good source of folic acid. Pine nuts are a source of Vitamin E.
I would have had green leaves with this also if I had any but I ate them all for lunch yesterday!
Banana for pudding, and a glass of orange juice for vitamin C along with a big mug of rooibos tea (a naturally caffeine free tea, I have mine with goats milk as its easier to digest than cows and with a teaspoon of honey to sweeten)

As you get older, your body may start to let you down a little. Your muscles become slightly weaker, your joints ache, your bones become more brittle, and you may even become clumsier.
It's never particularly fun to injure yourself, but as you get older, it takes longer and longer for your body to heal from an injury.
One common injury people experience as they age is a pinched nerve. People have nerves throughout their entire bodies, but once in a while those nerves can become pinched — it's painful and uncomfortable, but there's often simple treatments for them.
WebMD explains, "Nerves extend from your brain to your spinal cord, sending important messages throughout your body.
If you have a pinched nerve (nerve compression) your body may send you warning signals such as pain… Damage from a pinched nerve may be minor or severe. It may cause temporary or long-lasting problems. The earlier you get a diagnosis and treatment for nerve compression, the more quickly you'll find relief. In some cases you can't reverse the damage from a pinched nerve. But treatment usually relieves pain and other symptoms."

Falsely accused man says it was St. John Paul II's intercession that cleared his name
Amaury Coutansais-Pervinquière | Jul 07, 2018
Touched by his story, Pope Francis later embraced Tomasz Komenda in Rome.
It's an incredible story. In 2000, a 23-year-old Polish man, Tomasz Komenda, was accused of rape and murder of a young 15-year-old girl. Despite his denials, he was found guilty due to scientific "proof" — two experts confirmed that the teeth marks found on the victim's body matched those belonging to Komenda.
Once in prison, the young man was in a veritable hell. Rapists were harassed, humiliated, and sometimes even tortured by their fellow inmates. And Komenda couldn't rely on the prison guards to ensure some sort of protection and order. As he explained in an interview with a Polish TV show, they "looked away."
His prayer to St. John Paul II
As he was unable to convince anyone of his innocence, the young man looked for help elsewhere. Although an unbeliever, he started praying to John Paul II. At the top of his bed, the Polish pope looked at him, smiling, in a photo given to him from his mother. "If you are a saint," prayed Komenda, "You are in heaven with this girl. If you must take me up there, take me now. If I must be free, let me be free."
Six months after this cry from the heart, a policeman knocked at his prison cell. He didn't believe in this young man's guilt and would help him prove his innocence. After a year of legal disputes Komenda was cleared. "The Holy Father heard me," he shared joyously. And when he was released in mid-May, he immediately promised to go to Rome to thank John Paul II, at his tomb.
"Only those who keep their word are respected" claims a Polish proverb. And Komenda kept his word. Less than a month after his release from prison he was in St. Peter's Basilica, surrounded by his mother and father, where he prayed privately in front of the altar where John Paul II is buried.
Pope Francis touched by his story
Komenda was unaware that his story had reached as far as the Vatican. The Papal Almoner, Archbishop Konrad Krajewski, who also happens to be Polish, had got wind of the story. The now freshly-appointed cardinal contacted the family and invited them to accompany him to St. Peter's Square, where Pope Francis holds his general audience on Wednesdays.
Divine Providence has a way of doing things. The family got as far as the pontiff himself, and were asked to say a few words. Touched by what he heard, Francis spontaneously held Komenda in his arms for a long time. He then asked his photographer to take some photos of him with the young man.
The story doesn't end there. The Komenda family were invited to dine with the then-Archbishop Krajewski. The meal was prepared by a once-homeless man named Enzo, who had also spent many years behind bars. "I will prepare him a feast like he has never had before!" exclaimed the chef.

Like most online industries now, email marketing has been Dominated by the identical big players for the previous ten years. Which means they get promoted very heavily and accomplish a great deal of mindshare.
Now and then, however, an Underdog disrupts the marketplace, causing long-time users to question their loyalties.
MailerLite has done precisely that.
So now, in this review, I will be tearing MailerLite from limb To limb to find out if it stands its ground against the big boys…
…and, what's more, whether youshould consider making the change.

Sign-up Process
Like most email marketing providers Nowadays, you will need to Go through a review process before being able to correctly use the software.
When you first register, you'll be asked to finish your profile.
This includes information such as your company name, site, Industry, address, business size, record size and even the type of material you plan to send.
Then, You Have to confirm your Site (or domain ).
This remains part of the approval process, and MailerLite will Simply inquire which email is related to that domain so they can email you a confirmation link.
As Soon as You've completed these Steps, you ought to wait it out.
The MailerLite team will review your application, assess your Site, and ascertain whether you are a good fit for their services.
(Quite simply, they are making sure you're not a spammer/scammer)
As shown above, you'll still be Able to utilize the software to create campaigns and perform with the features, but you won't have the ability to send anything until approved.
I had been"partially" approved within a few hours, which gave me a Temporary limitation of 500 subscribers.
Here Is What the email said:
Annoying, sure.
But while these measures are not perfect for getting started, it Does help prevent unscrupulous users from hurting everyone else's deliverability.
If you're anything like me, you'll rely on automations to handle The majority of your email advertising.
(We will get to automations soon, don't worry.)
But whether it is a new blog post, podcast, or timely Announcement, there's always a reason to send a more instant email.
That is where'Campaigns' come in.
Clicking the brand new'Produce Campaign' will give you several choices.
– Regular campaign: A traditional broadcast email.
– A/B split effort: Multiple email Versions, such as subject line, from title and, yes, even email content. (Woop!)
– Auto resend: Resend to readers who Don't open your broadcast email, together with the choice of changing the subject line and email content.
– RSS effort: Create a recurring campaign That sends fresh content to readers using your website's RSS feed.
Apart from a few additional options, the Majority of these will follow Exactly the exact same step-by-step procedure of a standard campaign.
So let's walk you through it.
As Soon as You click to create your effort, you'll be requested to Select a favorite editor, whether that's the dragn' drop, rich text or HTML.
You can switch to the Templates tab and choose from among their pre-designed email templates — that will move you into the dragn' drop editor .
In the time of writing, there are 21 email templates to choose From which is somewhat on the low side, but the designs are super modern.
And, of course, if you would just Prefer to reuse a previous email, you can click the'Recent Emails' tab.
For this example, I will select the first template in the library.
The editor is easy to use, Which makes viewing these templates a 5-minute job.
You can also use the blocks in the sidebar to include distinct Types of content to your email, such as videos, product columns, and societal connections.
After making your adjustments, simply click'Done Editing' and you'll Be taken to the recipients' options where you are able to choose your classes or sections.
The tab also allows you To develop segment-like rules , in case your targeting is not quite perfect.
Finally, right before sending, then you'll get to the'Program' screen.
This is where you control if your broadcast email should go Out, if that's immediately, at a set time/date, or according to your subscribers time zones.
Impressive, right? Pinterest Email Marketing

Managing Your Subscribers
Possessing granular control over your readers is arguably one of The most essential facets of any email marketing software today.
Because highly personalized efforts are necessary if You're searching to increase opens, clicks, and, above all, your own conversions.
And while most providers allow you to"tag" subscribers in order To target them more effectively, MailerLite uses a slightly different strategy.
When you start up your subscriber dash, you'll notice two Options; Segments and Groups.
Segments are essentially principles.
Your subscribers belong to a section only when they fulfill the Specified principles, and are automatically inserted or eliminated accordingly.
Here is what setting up a rule looks like:
Notice the way you can also combine Rules, as well as an alternate rule when the first does not exist.
Pretty smart, eh?
The following tab is for classes, and also the difference in title, These behave much like your usual"tagging" system.
(MailerLite even debated Changing the title to'Tags', but finally decided against it.)
Contrary to Segments, Groups are upgraded manually or via an Automation rule — that we'll get into in a moment — and they have no value besides what you actually call them.
As you start to use this platform, you'll Start to understand At which Segments and Groups are typically used, but MailerLite offers a hand in the event you're unsure:
Basically, groups are more of a Deliberate activity on a per-subscriber basis, whereas Segments allow you to bulge multiple contributors together according to a common denominator.
A tad confusing, I will admit… but I believe it's a fair trade-off For the added flexibility. Besides, they are optional.
Finally, the'Fields' tab is used to customize your email copy.
You'll notice that MailerLite has Already populated this area with their own areas, such as name, business, and nation.
If you want to create your own custom fields, you can do so by Clicking the'Add new field' button.
So how do they actually work?
You can either upload a CSV record of your subscribers along with Your custom field information in separate columns… or may simply add these fields to your forms which will only apply to future readers.
Here's a screenshot of a test field I made and added to a form:
I won't go too much into the form Things here since I have an entire section on that below, but this is the strategy I would recommend if you wished to use this feature.
Again, as Soon as You've collected your custom field data from fresh Subscribers, you are able to pull them in to your email content and subject line.
Just click the'Personalization' drop down and select your Customized field.
I am barely scratching the surface Of what is possible with custom fields, but it's important to understand that this is a feature you can use.
Overall, it is reasonable to state MailerLite has their contributor Management and personalization features on stage. Pinterest Email Marketing
Landing pages.
If you are not impressed by what you have seen up to Now, then perhaps The page builder will tickle your fancy.
After selecting'Landing Pages' from the forms page, then you'll be Able to pick from 8 pre-designed templates.
Again, while the template selection Isn't winning any awards, but it does offer a great foundation to work from if, for example most people, you do not have that natural eye for design.
I went ahead and selected the'Lead Generation' template, however They finally do the identical job; accumulate an email address.
This time, the editor will Provide you 17 building blocks to Further construct or change your landing page.
Now, I have used my fair share of Visual site builders, and this is already better than some dedicated solutions *cough* WPBakery.
Together with the fundamental building blocks, you can use components like Hero segments, popup buttons, testimonials and countdown timers.
It won't be replacing landing Page builders like Thrive Architect or even LeadPagesanytime shortly, but credit where credit due, this item over-delivers on all three form types.
Form Builder Tool
Unlike some email advertising tools, MailerLite really Provides a Decent pair of type building tools.
Not only that, but you can also create popups and landing pages Through this same interface, so there's a whole lot to cover here.
Let us start with your Bog-standard embedded form.
These forms are first created inside MailerLite so as to get An embed code, which you can then place on your site to display it on specific pages.
Despite beginning super fundamental, the form designer lets you To personalize everything in the form style, subjects, background, name, enter fields and, clearly, the button.
Form text can also be edited directly, which Provides you a chance To visualize your backup in real time.
It would have been nice to have Some templates here, but as you know, there is more to some form than simply its physical appearance.
Clicking the'Settings' tab will Make It Possible for you to configure the way the Form works, including adding additional fields and setting a custom success page.
(There is even a GDPR compliance option. Sweet.)
And talking of the success webpage…
…MailerLite also enables you to customize the default message, Which can replace the embedded kind also prevents users from redirecting.
Last but certainly not least, you Can check the way your form screens on cellular by shifting the toggle to responsive mode.
You won't Have the Ability to make any layout changes , but it makes Sense to check, nevertheless.
So that's an overview of this Embedded form but as I said before, you can also create popup forms in MailerLite.
While the Vast Majority of the setup process is identical, you will find Still a few differences I'd love to point out.
Unlike embedded kinds, you can choose between a set of Templates:
While this isn't the most Comprehensive choice, they do offer a fantastic base to work from and the editor is at least as simple to use for this form kind.
Clicking on the'E-commerce' template takes me into a preview Before moving into the editor.
Here, you'll notice there are a few new choices under form types Now around:
Contemplating paid tools like Thrive Leads exist for ribbons and slide-in forms, it is pretty impressive to observe this level of control over popup forms.
And, as before, you can play with the styling options to get it Matched up with your own branding.
Finally, you can Select the close Behaviour of your form under the'Settings' tab.
The default option is the X icon, but you can swap out this for A"No thanks" text option, or have both.
That is where most email Marketing platforms will leave you, but MailerLite has one more trick up its sleeve.
Click here to begin your free account of Mailerlite.
Reporting & Analytics
Like most tools, you'll find a summary of your campaign Data in the dashboard.
Here you'll see everything from campaign open and click data, Subscriber development, automation analytics, and form signups.
Clicking into any campaign will Give you special reporting for this campaign.
This is where you'll discover a few more advanced statistics such as Unsubscribes, spam complaints, bounces, studying surroundings, email client and more.
This should be plenty of Information for the average consumer…
…but if you really want To dig into the numbers, it is possible to click into different areas of this report for a more comprehensive breakdown.
You can find some real gems beneath These reports.
For example, the'View Email' tab also displays a click map, so You can see your readers interacted to one another.
Reports for automations are also Accessible under the'Automations' tab, even though I found to be less enlightening than effort reports.
Here's a Fast example:
Overall, MailerLite does a Stellar job with their reporting interface, and many will find the available statistics more than sufficient to meet their needs.
Email Automation
What's email marketing without a dash of automation?
For many reading this, MailerLite's automation capabilities Could easily make or break this review.
The great news? If you have used a visual workflow builder, You will instantly feel at home here…
Much like the rest of MailerLite, That the automations interface is simple, clean and simple to navigate — something which certainly can not be said for each and every email advertising software.
After establishing your trigger, you can Start adding measures to your workflow.
These measures can be anything from sending an email, adding a Postpone, a conditional split, or an act, like moving a contributor or updating their records.
Here's a straightforward workflow I put together, where subscribers Are unsubscribed when they don't open my email within 7 days.
There are innumerable Possibilities when it comes to workflow automations similar to this, and MailerLite ought to have no trouble with the huge majority of use cases.
Granted, it is not quite as Feature-rich as something like ActiveCampaign because it lacks a number of the conditional elements. (Split, Visit, Goal, etc.)
For example, there's now no automation for transferring Readers directly into a different automation.
That being said, most of these actions can still be achieved by moving Subscribers into various classes that trigger new automation workflows. It is just not as efficient…. yet.
Another question of efficacy here is when creating new emails In the automation workflow builder.
After having an email block to The workflow, you will be asked to put in your subject line which then appears on the block itself.
From there, clicking on the'Design email' button will fire up the Editor:
Now, you'll be briefly Redirected to the typical campaign creation wizard, which I covered earlier in the critique.
This time, however, once you've established your email, clicking the 'Done editing' button will guide you back to the automations workflow instead of the usual sending options.
Ultimately, your email will be Loaded into your automation.
A Wonderful touch here is having a thumbnail preview of your Email inside your automation block, so it's possible to find an idea about what it contains at a glance.
While this procedure may seem like A grind on newspaper, it's really much faster than what I am utilized to with other email marketing tools — ActiveCampaign being a fantastic example.
On the other hand, if you have come over from something such as ConvertKit where The editor is loaded inside the automations builder, you will likely find this a downgrade in functionality.
It is quick enough for me, Personally, however I guess it's all relative.
Before I wrap up this section, there is one type of automation You will not find in MailerLite, and I think that it's important to highlight.
Site tracking.
The ability to trigger an automation (or measure ) based on how Readers interact with all the pages on your site.
This kind of behavioral targeting just is not accessible MailerLite at this time, so if it's something you use or intend to use, you might want to skip this one. Pinterest Email Marketing

The Price of MailerLite is no doubt among the tools biggest Selling points, and let's face it, we all love a fantastic bargain.
For starters, they offer an infinite free plan that includes All features (including premium) for up to 1,000 subscribers.
While There's some subtle Branding in your mails using this program, it is still an wonderful alternative for anyone starting out.
And what about the premium plans?
It turns out, at around half the Price of the rivalry generally, MailerLite is undoubtedly one of the least expensive options on the industry. Plus, if you are ready to pay annually, you are also able to get a much better discount.
In fact, I haven't been able to locate anything that does exactly the same job, cheaper.
MailerLite is one of the few email advertising tools to disrupt The (very crowded) sector in recent years, and that's no easy feat.
While it's not as fast as ConvertKit, or as feature-rich As ActiveCampaign, or as template-heavy as MailChimp, it works exceptionally well at just about anything you can throw at it.
I find MailerLite strikes the perfect balance Between flexibility, speed and simplicity, and all at a price point you will seriously struggle to conquer.

"There's nothing to see at ChopCult.com yet, but when we launch the site this summer, ChopCult will be the first news magazine, blog feed, photo dump, public forum, online classifieds, social network and e-store for people and companies who build and ride custom motorcycles. All kinds: American, Japanese, British and European. Think your favorite message board without the content Gestapo, Newsweek without the politics, Myspace without the sex predators, Flickr without the nature shots, Craigslist without the retards and Google without the Viagra banners. Just cool people, old bikes and lots of 'em."

Have you updated your PC to Windows 10 from an earlier version of Windows at some time in the past?
If so, there's a very good chance that the System Restore utility was turned off during the update process. And for most users, that's not a good thing.
When turned on, System Restore (usually) makes it easy to roll your Windows installation back to a previous state if something ever goes wrong during a program installation or some other serious issue arises.
In other words, this awesome tool can really can get you out of rather serious jams.
The thing is you'll need to have at least one saved Restore Point that you can roll back to if something does go wrong with your machine.
If System Restore is turned off it cannot create any Restore Points, meaning there won't be one available to you should you ever need it.
Luckily, it's very easy to check whether System Restore has been disabled or not. If you discover that it is currently disabled, you can turn it on with just a few mouse clicks. Simply follow the steps below:
1 – Press the Windows+S key combination to open a Search box.
2 – Search for the words system restore, then select Create a restore point from the list of search results.
3 – Select the System Protection tab. You should now see a list of available drives. The C: drive is the critical drive because that's the drive that typically holds your Windows installation and all of its related files.
4 – Select the C: drive, then click the Configure button.
5 – Select the radio button beside "Turn on system protection".
6 – Click Apply, then click OK.
7 – Click OK again to close the "System Properties" box.
That's all there is to it. You can now rest assured that System Restore is active and ready to create periodic Restore Points that you can roll back to should your system ever become corrupted or unstable.
Bonus tip #1: System Restore is great for quickly resolving many Windows issues, but you can't depend on it as a full-fledged backup routine. That's why I strongly recommend that you periodically create a System Image Backup as well.

LITTLE RIVER, S.C. - The Regis (Mass.) softball team conceded four runs in the top of the fourth inning as the Pride suffered an 8-1 defeat to Wilkes University in the first of two games on Tuesday afternoon at the North Myrtle Beach Sports Complex.
With the loss, the Pride moves to 1-2 on the season, while Wilkes improves to 4-3.
The Wilkes offense was the story on the day, getting on the board in the top of the first thanks to the first of four extra base hits they would collect on the day. Freshman Britny Jumalon (Torrance, Calif.) picked up a two-out triple, and would score a batter later on a Pride error to give her team a 1-0 lead.
The lead was short-lived, as Regis got the run back in the bottom of the first. Three straight singles to open the inning from Kelsey Grimard (Pelham, N.H.), Kayla Pieta (Middletown, Conn.), and Ellery Rasmussen (Kingston, N.H.) were followed up by a groundball to second by senior Alexa Nejaime (Sandisfield, Mass.), driving in Grimard from third. The Pride, however, couldn't get home Pieta and Rasmussen and the game would go to the second even at one.
Wilkes picked up a single run in the top of the third, but broke the game open with four runs in the fourth. A two-run, two-out single from freshman Megan Magoon (Barnegat, N.J.) to drive in Sarah Gibson (Chico, Calif.) and Christina Gambino proved to be the biggest blow of the inning. Wilkes added single runs in the fifth and sixth to secure the victory.
McLellan got the loss in the circle for the Pride, allowing six earned runs in the loss. The win went to Celine Podlesney (Hazle Twp., Pa.), who allowed just one earned in the complete game victory.
Offensively, Rasmussen was 3-for-4 on the day, with Grimard going 2-for-4 for the Pride. Magoon was the offensive leader for the Colonels, going 2-for-3 with two RBIs and three runs scored.
Next up for Regis, they'll take on Penn College for the second game of a doubleheader for the Pride.

Love me in the darkest places of my heart
Where polite niceties disappear
And what is left are crude, evil thoughts
That ought not see the light of day
Love me when I am weak
When I cave into my basest desires
And show a side of me
The world will never accept
Love me for things unknown
The parts of me that lie hidden
Underneath the rainbows and smiles
Things I am afraid disclose
Love me for my failures
When my heart calls out to you
Yet shrinks back in fear
Because it recognises its ugliness
Love me in spite of
My brokenness
My neediness
My hopelessness
When I am unlovable
That is when I need you to love me most
Love me.
Inspired by Love Sonnet XVII, by Pablo Neruda.

Tonganoxie pounds Bishop Ward
By SJ Munoz PrepsKC staff writer
It was yet another punishing night for a Tonganoxie opponent as the Chieftains pounded the rock on their way to a 52-6 win over Bishop Ward in the opening round of the Class 4A Playoffs.
"We had the rain on and off, so we didn't know what was going to go on, but they came out and fought hard," Tonganoxie head coach Al Troyer said. "That's what we wanted to do. The guys were able to respond when we got down, kind of like what happened last week against Basehor-Linwood, and just keep going once we got the lead."
In a game which was played at Bonner Springs because of field conditions, it looked good for Bishop Ward early after they returned a fumble for a TD for the first score of the game, but that didn't last.
Following the Cyclones' touchdown at the 9:14 mark of the first quarter it was all Chieftains.
Tonganoxie scored 46 unanswered in the remainder of the half to race ahead and never looked back.
As is usually the case, the Chieftains went to the ground to get things going.
A 5-yard run by Tyler Ford made it 7-6 Tonganoxie. Just three minutes later, Shane Levy ran it in from 35-yards out and it was 14-6.
The final score of the first was a pass from Ford to Ben Johnson to make it 21-6 after one.
Another connection from Ford to Johnson at 9:27 of the second had the Chieftains up 28-6.
Then Johnson scored again, this time on defense returning an interception 55 yards, putting Tonganoxie up 34-6.
The Chieftains added two more rushing scores as Levy scored for the second time on a 29-yard run, while Jared Sommers got his first TD with just over two minutes left in the second and Tonganoxie took that 40-point lead (46-6) into the half.
In the second half with a running clock most of the way the Chieftains added one final TD.
Tonganoxie scored on the ground for the fifth time as Sommer's 10-yard rush, his second score, made it 52-6.
Bishop Ward's season comes to an end at 2-8.
With the win, the Chieftains (9-1) advance to the regional round where they will host 10-0 Baldwin.

Neon Rebel Devlog 1 Procedural City Generation in Unity, With Interiors.
CLICK HERE for more info on Neon Rebel and the development
In this installment of the devlog, I just basically go over the basic concept of Neon rebel being that the main focus will be procedural generation from a design standpoint. Instead of relying on noise to generate terrain and the environment around the player, I'll be implementing a system I like to call, "Controlled Procedural Generation". This will make the cities and other environments feel much more alive and much more likely to appear as if they were in fact designed and placed there for a reason. I'm incredibly excited about how smooth things are going and super happy about the response from peer reviews. I know what you see on screen isn't as impressive, but when people play with what I have, their eyes light up and the suggestions start coming out fast. That is why I decided to maybe share this project this early.

Project Summary
This restaurant refurbishment project is located in Shepherds Bush. It involved full stripping out the flooring and installation of a new hardwood floor. The walls were renovated and re-painted, toilet facilities were upgraded and bought up to date. An amazing new marble serving bar has been installed. The new marble serving bar is the feature piece of the whole restaurant. New bench seating has been added, the old front doors were replaced with clean, modern glass doors and new backlit picture frames for the walls. The project took 3 months in total, which included planning, ordering and construction. We were on site for only 1 month during the whole construction phase.

It's okay to blink, you won't miss a thing
Breakneck speeds, relentless ferocity and uncompromising personalities. Formula One is almost born for the big screen, yet with only Senna and arguably Driven to its name, the motor sport remains an unexplored avenue within the film industry. Coming off the back of Asif Kapadia's multi-award winning 2010 documentary and the sport's growing popularity Ron Howard marks his 22nd directorial appearance with the first true F1 feature film, Rush.
Set against the backdrop of Formula One's golden age, the seventies – where the sport was terrifyingly dangerous and the drivers were rockstars – Rush explores the turbulent relationship between two very successful, but very different drivers. Powered by passion, competitiveness and arrogance, England's James Hunt and Austria's Niki Lauda engaged in one of sport's greatest rivalries and the film showcases their constant battles from their early years as rookie drivers through to the grand stage that culminated in the infamous 1976 season.
Peter Morgan, who previously penned sport biopic The Damned United, provides the screenplay for Rush and though he certainly captures a similar seventies atmosphere to Tom Hooper's football film his script is weaker and fraught with errors. The famous writing tip to show rather than tell is lost among painful exposition and lazy voice over. Ron Howard masks these mistakes with competent direction, hurrying the film along to ensure a fast rhythm, but never pauses regularly enough to give any scene meaningful impetus. Interesting plot tangents, such as Lauda's unusual relationship with his wife (Alexandra Maria Lara who makes the most of a virtually silent role) and the psychology of the racers who put their lives on the line for a living, are only ever referred to, but never fully explored.
As the true standouts from the film, Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl deliver powerful and emotionally rich performances as Hunt and Lauda respectively. Nina Gold, the casting director with an unrivalled eye for talent, continues to impress with two lead actors who match the characteristics of the drivers perfectly. Hemsworth's brilliant-blue eyes, blonde hair and suaveness juxtaposing Brühl's fiery attitude, stubbornness and broken English accent, the resemblance is uncanny. Their likeness is so remarkable in fact that you could easily be fooled into believing this is old footage of Hunt and Lauda. The two stars dominate the film, but any praise is diminished by the weakness of the support cast and their underdeveloped characters.
All mediums of production collide to deliver compelling action set pieces that perfectly capture the experience of a race day, but even they are underused. Hans Zimmer's score is predictably stirring, yet surprisingly and impressively surpassed by the atmospheric sound design. Anthony Dod Mantle's daring cinematography is rich and varied, offering a blend of visual styles and artistic flourishes. The unsettling nature of the aesthetic echoes the ever-changing quality of the sport and supplements the inner turmoil the characters suffer, but it also weakens the experience. The schizophrenic visual style and severe jump cuts that separate them only serve to confuse the viewer and emphasise the tragic inconsistency of the entire film.
With a strong budget, tried and tested formula, talented cast and experienced crew Ron Howard's film was a grand opportunity to finally see a compelling feature length Formula One film, but his Rush is a forgettable movie that teases audiences with flashes of the high octane thrill ride they expected, but leaves them with little more than a middle of the road drama that suffers a stuttering start and never quite gets into gear.

I have lived in the Netherlands for more than one year, and I just started a Master's programme in Social, Health and Organizational Psychology. Before this period, I worked with children who have mental issues and Syrian refugee teenagers as a psychologist. I got little experience on Culture and Art at a newspaper in Turkey. I work for Red Cross Amsterdam and ESN Utrecht as volunteer jobs, which make me very happy, motivated, and satisfied. Riding my bike, visiting museums, travelling, painting, and writing are my hobbies. And of course shopping, girls! A funny thing about me is that I was exchanging bottles with Dutch supermarkets to make money and buy chocolate behind my mom's back. I was only 5 when I met with the black market! Last, but not least, I am obsessed with my agenda and coffee flavors!

I am a Romanian Game and Media Technology Master's student who has a lot of hobbies. One of them is writing, which goes hand-in-hand with reading, but there's also traveling, going to concerts and watching TV shows…and making lists. So if you ever want book recommendations or movie recommendations or just a random list that you're probably never going to actually use made, you know who to contact!
Babette Vanlancker, Writer
I'm a Master's student in Social, Health and Organisational Psychology, and this is my first time studying in The Netherlands. I'm Belgian, but have been going to school in English since I was nine, so I speak Dutch (Flemish) and English fluently. I really enjoy spending time with family and friends, running, biking, going to the movies, learning about all things psychology, and having tea!
We are looking forward to meeting you all and to see you at all the ESN activities! Have a great time in Utrecht and enjoy our posts!
