Chitin Degraded by Chitinolytic Enzymes Induces Crystal Defects of Calcites
Mollusk shells have unique microstructures and mechanical properties such as hardness and flexibility. Calcite in the prismatic layer of P. fucata is extremely tough due to small crystal defects and localized organic networks inside calcites. Electron microscopic observations have suggested that such crystal defects are caused by the organic networks during calcite formation. Our previous work reported that the chitin which is the main component of organic networks and chitinolytic enzymes that bind to chitin were identified. In this article, to investigate the effects of chitin and chitinolytic enzymes on the formation of calcites, calcites were synthesized in chitin gel after treatment with chitinolytic enzymes. Chitin fibers seemed to become smooth and loosened after degradation. The crystal defects became larger as the chitin fibers became more degraded by chitinolytic enzymes in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that the shape of chitin fiber, which is regulated by the degradation of chitinolytic enzymes, contributes to the formation of small crystal defects.

40.1 Introduction
Biominerals are biogenic mineralized tissues containing a small amount of organic matrices which regulate crystal nucleation, orientation, polymorphism, and morphology of inorganic substances (Belcher et al. 1996; Chen et al. 2008; Falni et al. 1996; Weiner and Addadi 1997). The shell of Pinctada fucata, Japanese pearl oyster, has two layers: prismatic and nacreous layer. The prismatic layer focused on in this study is composed of calcite prisms that are surrounded by thick polygonal organic frameworks as intercrystalline organic matrices. Each prism in the prismatic layer of P. fucata consists of several small calcites. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) analyses have revealed that each calcite contains subgrain units of several hundred nanometers divided by crystal lattice distortions known as small-angle grain boundaries (Okumura et al. 2012, 2013); however, the crystal structures of adjacent grains were continuous. Calcites that contain such crystal defects are tougher and stiffer than single calcites of another type of shell that contain no crystal defects because the defects inhibit the propagation of cracks (Olson et al. 2013). TEM observations have also revealed that organic matrices inside the small calcite of P. fucata prisms are localized in networks (Okumura et al. 2012). The location of the organic network correlates with the location of the crystal defects, indicating that the organic network affects the formation of the crystal defects. Our previous report clarified chitin and chitinolytic enzyme as the components of this organic network (Kintsu et al. 2017), in which we indicated that the chitin treated by chitinolytic enzymes may induce the formation of crystal defects.
In this article, we performed calcium carbonate crystallization using chitin hydrogel and chitinolytic enzymes in vitro to assess the effects of such organic matrices on lattice distortion inside the synthesized crystals.
40.2 Materials and Methods
Calcium carbonate crystallization in the chitin hydrogel. Chitin hydrogel was prepared according to the previous method (Tamura et al. 2006). The prepared chitin hydrogel was incubated with Yatalase (an enzyme complex containing chitinase and chitobiase activities from Corynebacterium sp. OZ-21; TaKaRa) as chitinolytic enzyme for 24 h. After incubation, chitin hydrogel was filtered and washed with 10 mM calcium chloride to remove Yatalase. The chitin hydrogel was spread on a plate and put into desiccator filled with the gas of 5 g of ammonium carbonate (Kanto Chemical) to crystallize calcium carbonate in the chitin hydrogel for 24 h. Chitin hydrogel was dissolved in 50% sodium hypochlorite to collect crystals.
Calcium carbonate crystallization using chitin nanofiber. A chitin nanofiber solution (1.1% (w/v) was prepared according to the previous report (Ifuku et al. 2010). A solution of 10 mM calcium chlorite was added to the chitin nanofiber solution, followed by calcium carbonate crystallization in the chitin nanofiber solution using the same method described above.
Fixation of chitin gel. Chitin gel was fixed by using the method of cell fixation with glutaraldehyde, osmium tetroxide, and potassium permanganate for reference with some modifications (Gunning 1965). Chitin gel was incubated sequentially in glutaraldehyde, osmium tetroxide, and potassium permanganate solution for 1 h. After fixation, the sample was dehydrated by ethanol and embedded in Spurr resin (Polysciences, Inc., USA). Sections prepared by ultramicrotome using a diamond knife.
40.3 Results and Discussion
40.3.1 Observation of Chitin Fibers by TEM
In an initial phase of prism formation, after the organic frameworks in the prismatic layer are constructed, the space surrounded by the organic framework is filled with organic gel solution composed mainly of chitin and matrix proteins; calcium carbonate is then crystallized with organic gel solution in the space. The organic gel solution such as chitin and chitinolytic enzymes we identified can develop into organic networks during calcite crystallization and affect the crystallization to form small-angle grain boundaries. Therefore, we performed an in vitro calcium carbonate crystallization experiment using chitin hydrogel and chitinolytic enzymes.
40.3.2 Synthesis of Calcium Carbonate Crystals in Chitin Hydrogel Treated with Chitinolytic Enzymes
Although it is indicated that thinness and length of chitin fiber are important, it is difficult to achieve a uniform thickness and length of chitin fibers using chitinolytic enzymes. Chitin nanofibers prepared by mechanical cleavage were used because the chitin nanofiber has a uniform thickness of several dozens of nanometers. Calcium carbonate was precipitated in the chitin nanofiber solution using the same method as described above without chitinolytic enzymes. SEM image of formed calcium carbonate crystals showed that chitin nanofiber can also affect crystallization and the surface microstructure became polygonal (Fig. 40.2c).
40.3.3 X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Analyses of Calcite Crystals
These results showed that lattice distortion became larger as the chitin fiber became thinner. Although the data are not shown, TEM observation of the cross section of the calcite clarified that thinner chitin fibers were more easily embedded in calcium carbonate crystals. However, the lattice distortion ratio of synthesized calcite was still much smaller than that of prism calcite. This is perhaps because there are many acidic matrix proteins identified from the prismatic layer (Gotliv et al. 2005; Suzuki et al. 2004). Such proteins may also contribute to the increase in the lattice distortion ratio in calcite prisms.
Taken together, chitin degradation plays an important role in the formation of calcite prisms in the prismatic layer. Crystal defects became larger as the chitin fibers were degraded by chitinolytic enzymes, because the increasing surface area of chitin fibers strengthens the physical and/or chemical interaction between calcium carbonate and the chitin fiber. This strong interaction may allow chitin fibers to attach to the crystal growth front in a random manner, which prevents calcium or carbonate ions from being well-oriented around crystal growth planes, leading to the crystal lattice distortion. Therefore, in the prismatic layer of P. fucata, the thinness of chitin fiber may be precisely regulated by chitinolytic enzyme to induce the small-angle grain boundaries. This novel mechanism may provide useful insights to the fields of biomineralization and biomimetic material engineering.

Prequalifying For A Mortgage Loan: 2 Things You Should Know
Buying your first home is a big step in life, and it can be a confusing process for a first-time homebuyer. The first step you should take when preparing to buy a home is getting prequalified for a home loan. The prequalification process is used to determine if you are even eligible for a home loan, and it can also help you determine what type of loan program you qualify for. Here are a couple things to know about the prequalification process.
Why Do You Need To Get Prequalified?
As you start looking for a home to purchase, your real estate agent will probably ask you if you are prequalified for a loan. If you are, there is a much better chance a real estate purchase will go through, and this is important for agents. If you find your dream home and cannot get a loan, you will have wasted your time and your agent's time.
Prequalification is also useful because it will help you know what homes to look at as you shop around. A prequalification from a bank will tell you how much money the bank will loan you. It will also give you other guidelines that can help you make the best decision, including the amount of money you will need to put down on a house when you find the right one.
You should also realize that a seller might be leery of accepting your offer on a house if you are not preapproved. If, for chance, you cannot end up qualifying for a loan, the seller of the house will also have wasted his or her time waiting for you to get financing.
While you do not have to get prequalified before buying a home, it will make the entire home-buying process run a lot smoother and faster when you find the home you would like to buy.
What Will You Need To Do To Get Prequalified?
When you begin the prequalification process, you will have to visit a bank to learn the exact requirements. Most lenders perform this process by examining and reviewing several different things, and these include the following:
- Income – The lender may send an income verification form to your employer. Your employer will have to fill this out and send it back, and this is done to make sure you have steady income to use to repay the loan.
- Assets and debts – You may also be asked to fill out a personal balance sheet. This sheet will ask you what assets you own along with the values of each, and it will ask you about debts. This is to determine the ratio of your assets and debts, and it is another tool lenders use to make sure a person will be able to repay a loan. Lenders also use debt-to-income ratios to analyze a person's financial state.
- Credit – While you do not need perfect credit to get a loan, the credit you have helps a lender determine what type of loan program to use. With excellent credit, you will have a lot more options when it comes to loan. If you have poor credit, the lender may be able to find you a loan program; however, you may have to pay a slightly higher interest rate.
After the lender reviews these three things, you will find out whether you are preapproved for a loan or not. If you get preapproved, you will need to avoid making large purchases or racking up major debt while you are in the process of buying a home. Any major changes to your finances could cause your bank to change its mind about giving you a loan. If you would like to learn more about getting prequalified for a loan, contact a mortgage lender in your area today.

our entryway is small & dark, but takes care of the basics of housing a doormat & a few hooks for coats.
i wanted to jazz the space up a bit by adding some color on the wall, a little artwork, & a few hooks. at some point in the future we would like to add a light in this space, but there is no electrical in the room, so a light will have to wait.
{this is the best & only picture of the entryway before i got my hands on it.}
some of my inspiration came totally from my own head. i adore chalkboard paint & pretty much like to use it wherever i can. i loved the idea of having a chalkboard wall (you know, floor to ceiling) but there just didn't seem to be a good space in our house for it. until i started brainstorming for the entryway. yep, it is covered in chalkboard paint. you may be thinking that i am crazy for wanting to paint such a small space with no light a dark color. you are right, i was probably a little crazy, but the great news is that the room really isn't too dark, even with the nearly black walls.
the bad news {isn't there always bad news?} is that i really didn't consider how messy a chalkboard wall would be. i think all of that creativity got in the way of reality. so, i may eventually try to add some kind of board & batten wall treatment in order to keep that chalk dust at bay.
my other inspiration is actually a pinspiration.
{see original post here}
i love this simple, clean look of empty frames. i was able to find a few fun frames from etsy, but am still on the hunt for a few more. i also originally planned to paint the frames white like in the pinspiration photo, but i sort of liked the original frame color & decided to keep it until i added more frames. i am also sort of loving the idea of painting the frames gold.
so without further adieu, our entryway:
{my welcome sign in fauxligraphy & frames. that little teeny white dot next to the lower frame is actually a magnet. i painted a couple coats of magnetic primer underneath the chalkboard paint so the middle of the walls are a teeny bit magnetic.}
{two sets of hooks for aaron & me. i added a framed chalkboard mirror on this wall too.}
i did actually paint chalkboard paint in the entire little room, even above the doorways, to be consistent because it is unlikely we would ever write anything that high. although my friend amanda suggested that i write something way up high that is semi-permanent. i am still thinking about that. i seasoned the walls by rubbing them with the side of a jumbo piece of chalk. then i wiped the walls with a damp cloth many, many times to try to remove the excess chalk & help with the messiness. the purpose of seasoning a chalkboard is so that when you go to write or draw on it, whatever you write or draw won't become permanent {well, permanent in that you will always be able to see it even after it is erased}. i am torn about the seasoning of the walls; i am glad i did so that we can erase things, but i am sad i did because (a) seasoning with the chalk is what is making the walls so messy, & (b) i wasn't tall enough (& was too lazy to get a ladder or chair) so the seasoning only goes up about 5.5 feet. oh well.
i would like to find a fun, colorful, & durable rug for this space, but for now, our old front doormat works. any ideas on where to get a good doormat?
would you paint any of your walls with chalkboard paint, or is it just me?

Charlie Wilkins recently brought the cuisine and culture of the Hawaiian Islands to downtown Olympia.
The Lanai Café, located at 514 Capitol Way South, opened at the end of August last year.
"Hawaii is the only place in the world I know of that welcomes and sends away strangers with affection," Wilkins said, as he sat in the spacious and well-lit dining area.
"That is the true meaning of the word 'aloha.'"
Understanding that meaning took some doing.
"I was taught a good work ethic growing up on the farm," said the native of Nebraska.
"Hard work was no problem, and when I joined the Army, I did so with that attitude in mind."
It served him well; he spent a dozen honorable years serving, much of it in special operations.
But there were challenges, and meeting them played a significant role in opening The Lanai Café.
Wilkins allowed that as a soldier he saw much of the dark side of life.
"I also lived some of that dark life."
The biggest challenge he faced was a daughter born with serious medical challenges. Wilkins and his wife did all they could for her, but in the end, they had to give her over to a foster home.
"The Army helped us as much as it could, but it could not give our daughter what she needed," he said quietly.
"We made the decision to give her up so that she could receive better medical care."
Wilkins' daughter did receive that care, but at the age of 18 she passed away.
"The feeling that I had abandoned her ... "
In the wake of that feeling - along with the grief and anger of having lost a child so young that led to the slipping into the darker side of life - Wilkins said his Christian faith became real to him.
In time he became a licensed minister of the Foursquare church.
The church is a Protestant evangelical Pentecostal Christian denomination founded in 1923 by preacher Aimee Semple McPherson.
Through connections in Hawaii and his church, Wilkins and his wife, Kami, decided to open a restaurant that served not only unique and good food but also offered unconditional acceptance.
"We are the only restaurant in the area that serves Hawaiian food," Wilkins commented.
"But we also create a space in order to touch one life at a time."
To be in downtown Olympia places his café in a position to help people who have also walked on life's darker paths.
Believing that all individuals deserve a second chance in life, Wilkins made it a goal to hire people who had battled addiction and homelessness.
"This restaurant serves great food and is a refuge for those seeking it," he concluded.
"Life is not a 'fubared' as it seems."

host family reply
We are so glad to hear from you, we miss your stay with us and have been wondering if your schooling was going well. I see that it is and that you are going into the engineering field like your Dad. We hope that your Mum and Dad are doing well and you're not worrying them too much, just kidding. I know that you will do well in life as you have great parents and family and you know how important sc...hool is.
Hoping your friends are also doing well is XXXX behaving himself? LOL.
Thank you so much for the update in your life and maybe someday our paths will cross again.
Susan is still involved with step in Florida and she is looking for sponsors again this year. We wish we could sponsor but we will probably be moving and I have been a tad ill, I'm much better now.
You just keep doing well and make your parents proud, We think of you often as we enjoyed every day of your stay.
Christmas Letter 2011 from a student to his host family!
It's been a long time since we wrote each other! How is life? How is everything at home? I hope all is perfect there!
Here we have passed a great year. At summer, like all years, we have been at " lekeitio", that village near to the sea which has an island near. There, we celebrated that ferstival were we hang up of the goose's neck, it's really funny but for the moment I'm not taking part in thi...s event. Also, I have been with my parents at Scotland and I have to say that all those green views where really impressive. After the summer I started my last year at school, and for the moment I'm not doing bad, so the next year I hope to be studing for be an ingeneer.
Two nights ago we met with all my family for christmas, and it was really funny! Now I'm waiting for New Year's Eve because after a big dinner with my granrdad's I will met with all my frinds to celebrate the new year.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and take care in this new year!

Host a student from Spain for the month of July 2012
When I was first asked to host a student, I had a 1 year old developmentally delayed and an 8 year old, I said, "No", my hands were already full! Well to make a long story short, my husband and 8 year old, wanted to do it. So we welcomed 18 year old Alberto into our home for the month of July. It was an amazing experience, Alberto was such a great help taking the baby when I walked in the door to prepare dinner. He also helped set the table and cook! He helped my husband get the chores done and so on the weekends we could spend quality family time together showing Alberto the life style of an American family. We went on picnics, to the beach and the county fair. I'll never forget the excitement of Alberto watching the demolition derby! It was an awesome time and we really enjoyed hosting Alberto. Over the next 15 years, we hosted 18 students!

Yesterday I was faced with the harsh reality that my travel-from-Guelph-to-Toronto-via-first-class-train adventure was almost derailed1 because of a potential Via Rail strike. The strike would have meant that the trains intended to get me to Ottawa from Guelph would not be in service and I would have to make alternate arrangements to get to and from the capital for this weekend's marathon.
Of course, the strike started shortly after midnight today and as such many were wondering what this would mean in terms of train service and pre-purchased tickets, and how this might affect the morning commute, cross-country travel, and boxcar jumping.
Shortly after arriving to the office this morning I had my answer. My not-so-first-class-but-still-rather-comfy trains from Guelph to Toronto and Toronto to Guelph were not affected. However, my first-class-and-oh-so-comfy trains from Toronto to Ottawa and Ottawa to Guelph were affected.
Or at least, partially affected.
What does partially affected mean?
It means that the trains will run from Toronto to Brockville, and then alternate transportation will be provided2. I can only assume that alternate first class arrangements will be made. Clearly this must involve a limo stocked with fresh oysters, caviar, and only the best of champagnes, right?
Needless to say, it seems that the gods-o-wanderlusting and the gods-o-marathoning got together and decided collectively to smile on me, as I shall arrive in Ottawa on Friday as scheduled – although perhaps a little later than originally thought.
So dear friends, there was no need to worry, no need to panic. While my first class adventure to Ottawa has been modified slightly, I'm still going to Ottawa, and I'm still going to attempt my second marathon in a month.
You might say my plans are back on track3. Ha! I kill me.
Okay. I'll stop now.
1 Ha! See what I did there?
2 Similar arrangements will be provided from Ottawa to Brockville, and then I'll board the train in Brockville, heading to Toronto in first-class comfort.
3 Zounds! There I go again!

This mini itinerary can be easily extended to include some time in your choice of Taroudant in the Souss Valley, Agadir or Essaouira on the Atlantic coast or even Marrakech.
With our many years of experience putting together practical and interesting itineraries for our clients we would like to recommend this journey for you to make the most of your time in this fascinating country. We are, of course, also able to tailor-make a holiday to suit your requirements for any or all of the following - UK departure airport, budget, hotel type/size, duration, activities, etc.
With our excellent prices for car rental, Morocco has opened up to some quite unique holiday experiences. Roads around the country are improving and are actually pretty good in most places, even in the mountains and desert areas they are now mostly asphalted. We do not recommend driving at night though as headlights can be optional and safety barriers on some mountain roads are non-existent. We have all driven extensively around Morocco and will be happy to share our experiences with you if you are at all unsure about self-drive or your chosen routes.
NB: This itinerary can be taken with the services of one of our English-Speaking drivers (or a National Guide). They will drive any type of vehicle at a flat rate per day per vehicle which includes your driver's food and lodging. Hotels are personal suggestions but there is usually a choice of styles and budget at each location.
Accommodation: the hotels in this itinerary are generally small, independent or family-run, properties which add significantly to your travel experience in this fascinating country - in the table below we have included suggestions for upgrades to "boutique" properties and deluxe options (please do not hesitate to request alternative hotels).
Transport: to take the stress out of arriving and departing we offer a private airport transfer service; we can deliver and collect your hire car from your hotel (or riad) at no extra cost. All our vehicles have a/c and come with a full tank of fuel, we provide driving directions and parking information for all accommodation (where relevant). The new highways linking Marrakech, Agadir, Essaouira and Casablanca will cut down journey times when you wish to get from A to B quickly but this also means that the other roads will be quieter and a pleasant alternative for sightseeing and travelling at a gentler pace. (NB. tolls apply on the highways).
Extra Information: all our holidays have a recommended route with suggestions for sightseeing; we are able, through our local agency, to book activities and specialist sightseeing, particularly in Marrakech or Agadir - such as cooking, quad bikes, camel rides, day hikes, etc.
NB. extend this holiday easily by adding nights in any or all of the locations.
NB: Flights available to book through us with a range of airlines, from various UK airports.

Councillor for the environment in Torrevieja, Fanny Serrano, has organised a
classical music concert to take place on the 28 th July in the natural park. The
orchestra will play in the zone known as La Pinada del Parque Natural and is
part of a new initiative to get the town's people to use its natural, open spaces
more and recognise its value.
The music will be provided by Torrevieja's International Symphonic Orchestra
and the idea came from seeing the impact of a previous concert performed
there; 'Habaneras en el Parque'. 'It will be a unique concert,' explained the
councillor, 'set in the heart of this natural area.' The music played will include
well-known pieces from the classical repertoire.
The audience for the concert will be limited to 100 people and you must
collect your invitation from either the Visitors' reception centre at the park or
from Agamed. It will take place at 10.30pm, a time picked in order that
participants can watch the sunset too.
Paco Martínez is director of the park and considers that an event of this type
is completely compatible with the park's environment and that it will not
disturb the animals. 'It will be a harmonious and a soft sound. The animals are
used to much louder noises,' he explained during the press conference. 'We
want people to link culture with nature, our goal is that people value the park
more highly.'
Agamed water company are patrons of the Symphonic Orchestra and are
delighted to be involved with the plans. They are very happy with the proposal
as are the members of the orchestra too.
The concert is planned during an important year for the park which is currently
celebrating its 20 th anniversary. 'It's a good present for the park,' said
Councillor Serrano, 'and for nature lovers.'

Game Changer
Michelle N.
Opmerkingen: Overall, SendinBlue has been a huge game changer for our company. I have been doing the email marketing for over 5 years and with our previous provider it was a time-suck for little result. I'm happy that there are constantly updates and changes being made to stay current and enhance the features available. Not only has SendInBlue saved me a ton of time, it has really increased the value of our email marketing program.
Pluspunten: It's overall ease of use was a big pro when I first saw it, but I think the selling point for me was the contact management capabilities. The ability to keep all of our lists in one place and be able to filter for certain contacts has changed the way that we market and has made the process of personalizing one hundred times easier.
Minpunten: Being the analytics person for the company, I am disappointed with the limited abilities of pulling our results.

A great email marketing automation tool
Abigail N.
I use the SendinBlue free plan that allows me to send 9000 emails monthly. I rely on SendinBlue solely for their automation feature (PS: It's still in Beta).
It's rare to find a free email marketing service that offers automation which was the reason why I signed up for SendinBlue. I still use MailChimp but I'm starting to find myself using it less than I did before SendinBlue.
I used the automation to create a free 5-day email course. The path was simple: Visitor fill form on my website added automatically to a list wait two minutes send welcome email + course brief wait five minutes send day 1 of email course wait 23 hrs send day 2 wait 22 hrs send day 3 (etc...)
It was simple to do, all I had to do was create the templates for each email and select them when creating the workflow and tada my course was good to go. I had to validate my account by answering a few questions such as where I got/will get the emails on my mailing list from. Once I sent them a link to the sidebar and fly-in widget on my website for the email course, to prove that I wasn't spamming anyone or buying lists, my account was validated. I wasn't happy that SendinBlue doesnt have a direct integration on Facebook, to include a tab for getting fans to subscribe, so i contacted them on facebook and they replied with a solution.
Pluspunten: To me the pros are: Free 9000 monthly email send Amazing email automation for email courses etc. Fast and helpful customer support Responsive email template: I tested the emails on my PC, tablet, kindle tablet and phone and it looked great.
Minpunten: After I created my email course I received no notification to let me know if someone had signed up to my course or if they had completed the course. I contacted customer support and was told that they didn't have such option on their platform yet so I'll have to manually track my subscriber activities through the contacts section and automation log. I wish the signup form were as fluid and fully customizable as MailChimp's especially the ability to use an image as the header of a signup form.

Great value for small businesses
Matthew V.
Opmerkingen: Really positive. I have been able to set up my own business and others with SendInBlue and they like it a lot. Definitely worth the value.
Pluspunten: Very low cost with a lot of features including unlimited contacts. The only limit really is 300 emails per day max but when you are starting out with email marketing that's not a big deal, especially with newsletters. They have a very nice automation workflow process that has a lot of options similar to big competitors that cost more. Also, if you need to create a new email template it has the option to open a new tab and then easily refresh it, unlike other competitors. The API connection is easy to find and work with. Overall a great software solution for small businesses.
Minpunten: Not much of anything, I have seen other systems have a few more features in the automation builder but those were not really used anyway.

Best value
Geverifieerde reviewer
Over all my rate is 9/10, and I have left all other different mailing list software for sendinblue.
I have recommended to at least 10/20 friends and customers in this period.
Thanks !
Even if sendinblue is not the cheaper, I think that related to the customer service is the best mailing list software you can use.
Sending a mail is very simple, and I just hope it will have more templates in the future, to avoid loosing time in developing a new kind of email.
Minpunten: I just think price of dedicated IP is a little expensive, especially if you are an agency and you need to administrate many customers .

Newsletters and automation
Navid A.
Opmerkingen: We started as a cheap alternative for newsletter several years ago, then added some office automation. Compared to their competitors, there are many tools missing, and tutorials missing, solutions for partners and agencies are limited and expensive
Pluspunten: Sending newsletters, automation, good tech support, pricing is affordable
Minpunten: Documentation not clear, no pop ups, limited number of landing pages, landing pages with limited functionalities, luck of communications from Sendinblue, white labels and partnering expensive and complicated

Email Marketing Made Easy
Sarah bernardina B.
Opmerkingen: So far SendInBlue is still my favorite email provider above anything else. You can start from free and can only upgrade when your audience grows.
Pluspunten: This Email Service Provider is my favorite one. When I discovered about this I was able to like the functionality of this tool. The easy usage, how it works, how the app is designed for easy usage. Everything is great especially for beginners who wanted to apply email marketing on their websites. SendInBlue also has this pay as you go scheme so poeple who has limited audience can only purchase or take action depending on their need.
Minpunten: So far what I don't like is how a form is designed. Just based on my perspective of designs. I hope there are other options on how to design a form that will look like more professional. The output is so big at times and so hard to adjust on websites especially if websites are designed for mobile friendly. Also I hope there is an option for adding a button then when the button is clicked will popup the form. So far it's all about the design embedded on a website is what I don't like.

Excellent Email Marketing Tool
Miguel P.
I think SendInBlue is an excellent tool for use in Email-Marketing.
Its very user friendly and it has all the important features you need to do a good job in managing the newsletters. But for me, the most important point is the Customer Support: is AMAZING!
They really do an effort to help you in all you ask.
If you have to choose an Email marketing tool, SendInBlue is the one to choose!
Pluspunten: The Costumer Support
Minpunten: You cannot send a text explaining something, in the email test.

I would like to relay on you!
Maciej C.
Opmerkingen: For me and my company the high availability is very important. Generally our experience is good with you guys, you offer great products, but sometimes we have to get in contact with you to solve some connection issues or deley problems. Getting in touch is also quite difficult, you don't offer any emergency phone number to contact you in some emergency cases, email respones are slow. We had situation that we had to switch to Google mail for our transational emails, but that was few months ago. Since few months everything works fine and we are happy to use Sendinblue. Keep doing what you are doing!
- transactional emails
- sending campaigns
Minpunten: - sms is too expensive (at least for Poland)

It's everything i need
Mariano T.
Opmerkingen: I love that it lets me send emails without throwing complex features in my face. I buy an email platform, and it does just that. I love it.
Pluspunten: It does everything i need, and not more than that. It is simple to use to get the results i want.
Minpunten: Not having an iphone app to see reports and handle at least the basic operations.

The best cost-benefit email marketing
Geverifieerde reviewer
Opmerkingen: Its great, thanks!
Pluspunten: The same services and features that offer big email marketing brands but with a better price.
Minpunten: That huge orange warning sign that appear on Gmail (it didnt happen with Mailchimp)

Buggy HTML compose interface and lack of support for mobile left us wanting
David H.
Opmerkingen: First, great ability to manage multiple lists, and focuses attention on the acquisition of emails without manual entry. Much better pricing than other software depending on your sending habits. Second, Oftentimes I would have to "save as draft" and go back and edit or duplicate from an existing email because the HTML editing interface would crash. Combined with the inability to do anything from mobile meant it was hard to get out important announcements about events and other happenings on short notice. Maybe not really its strong suite, so still giving 4 stars for overall excellence.
Pricing, very competitive
Beautiful, well integrated with email acquisition
Minpunten: Buggy editing window often required lots of page refreshes/work arounds

Email Marketing At Its Best
Paul C.
Opmerkingen: From growing new subscriber lists in different markets as well as marketing to exisiting customers it can all be done simply in the one place with SendInBlue. Highly recommend.
Pluspunten: This software is so easy to get up and running whether you have 10 contacts or 10,000 on your list. Segmentation of contacts is simple and very flexible. A fantastic library of templates is included to use or customize as you see fit. Detailed reporting is provided on all of your campaigns and is very easy to read and again configure as needed. Finally, customer support is quick and responsive.
Minpunten: I do not have any issues with this software.
Beoordeeld op 27-11-2019
Very good for the money
Amanda W.
Opmerkingen: I really enjoy this program and with a little learning curve, am able to send out newsletters to my subscribers. The metrics are on target with other offering and easy to understand. Creating different audiences and conditions is very simple, and the price is very reasonable. If you have a small business, I would suggest Sendinblue for maintaining a mailing list.
Pluspunten: The pricepoint first drew me to Sendinblue. I was using another program but once I hit 2k+ users the price doubled. My mailing list is still rather small with little return, so I needed a cost-effective program to grow my audience but not lose money. I also love that I can put my subscription on hold, because there are months when I don't need to send a newsletter, and every penny saved is one I can reinvest with a better return elsewhere. Another great feature is that it was simple to move my mailing list from one provider to another. For someone who is technologically challenged, I was quite pleased by this.
Minpunten: Creating a newsletter body isn't as simple as with other programs. There are templates and drag and drop features, but I found them to be lacking and more complicated than my previous mailing list provider. For my first letter, I had to add unnecessary captions for my photos because I couldn't delete that part of the template.

Great value and constantly improving
Mark L.
Opmerkingen: Send in Blue was pretty basic for the money when we started and not charging for DB storage was what made us purchase. Over the last year or so they have been improving the platform and now it is a solid offering.
Pluspunten: Ease of replicating queries and also being able to query the contact list in many ways to create segments
Minpunten: Not being able to identify sender / IP when using multiple IP's for the same sender.

Awesome Service and Quality Support
Ahmad M.
Opmerkingen: We used to have lower open rates but when we moved to Sendinblue, the team helped us improve our open rates a lot and we were able to reach more users than before.
Pluspunten: I liked the support these guys are providing and the automation features. Scheduling of campaigns, Facebook ads etc.
Minpunten: The campaign builder has not much modules to choose from.

Good choice when Mailchimp became too expensive for your size
Luuk D.
Opmerkingen: We grew a lot on Mailchimp and it became too expensive for us. We found Sendinblue and it worked well enough for our needs. It has a functional campaign editor that is a bit glitchy and not as polished. But usable enough! Their API (we use the Ruby gem) is simpler to use than Mailchimp with on feature clearly lacking: we cannot register our subscribers server-side AND send an opt-in.
Pluspunten: It's cheaper than Mailchimp for our list size.
The campaign editor is glitchy. I addressed the issue but the devs had other priorities than details (understandably).
The API doesnt support server-side double-op-in subscriber registration, but is overall easier than Mailchimp's.

Hi Luuk,
Thanks for taking time to share your experience with us! I¿ve shared your feedback about the email builder with our team, and I'm happy to confirm that we already have some great improvements coming very soon!
SendinBlue API users who would like to implement a double opt-in process have a couple of handy options for achieving this functionality:
1. SendinBlue Automation can be used to build a double opt-in process, using the workflow in this post: https://help.sendinblue.com/hc/en-us/articles/211244629.
2. Alternatively, you could use the current API functionality and follow a similar logic as described in the Automation post above.
I hope these suggestions are helpful, however if you run into any questions, or would like to share additional feedback with us, please don't hesitate to contact our customer care team. You can reach us anytime at [email protected] -- we'll be glad to help!

When setting up campaigns and sending - good.
Not good when disallowed to send a campaign or upload contacts, slow to let you know sometimes and not so understanding of the customer.
Not good that the facility to see opens has been taken away - unless you upgrade!
Pluspunten: Templates, Look and ease of use. Quick to replicate campaigns and change.
Admin can disallow you to use and send campaigns for reasons known only to themselves. Not good for the customer, when SendInBlue as a platform is overall good.
In the beginning I nearly gave up, as I just thought they were trying to get me to buy a larger package.

Just Love This Software!
Jeana Y.
Opmerkingen: Feeling blessed... found this... other companies are more expensive, increasing their rate based on subscribers.. which is not good.. Sendin blue is meeting our overall requirements..
Pluspunten: Everything! 1. with this software we have folders for different client, sign up forms - double opt in.. completely editable to your requirement 2. Easy to use and feeling blessed after having this.. Saved many hours
Minpunten: So far nothing is coming in my mind.. ha aha

Excellent Bulk Mail Provider
Terry W.
Opmerkingen: Send in Blue are excellent bulk email providers, combining common sense with high standards and the sort of value for money that to my knowledge is not available in the industry with any other organisation even approaching this level of quality and service. I must admit I was surprised that they don't offer an im support service, which is pretty common in the industry, but they do respond pretty quickly on email. I did also tell them that I feel they should let new clients know more about their procedures, since I was horrified that my first send hung at 500, having used previous providers where sends just hung and didn't get any further due to technical problems with their systems. It wasn't a problem in this case. They have a standard procedure of halting the send at 500 to check the stats are OK before completing the send. But I did suggest they should tell people that! However it's an assurance that the company is ensuring the continued quality and credibility of its system, which is important for all its clients. And I do believe they are a listening company, so hopefully they will tell new clients more about their procedures. These are hardly major issues though. This is an excellent service and would be difficult to better at any price, and certainly at the prices being charged by Send in Blue.

Marketing + Transactiona..I couldnt ask for more
Vicente R.
Using mainly WordPress its vital to have a good transactional mail service provider(we can't rely on WordPress solely for mail sending). With Sendindblue i just make sure all my contact forms messages are sent and received..with a good reporting too at Sendinblue side.
Adding to the fact that it also provides great email marketing features, it's awesome that i can manage both within the same platform
The drag and drop is very intuitive and easy to use. It also has all the features i need to design a good campaign. Automation tools work great and are created in minutes.
The transactional email service is the main reason that made me adopt Sendinblue over other platforms. It's a 2-in-1 that i really needed.
Support is fast and effective.
Minpunten: There is nothing that i dislike in this platform.

Very satisfied
Marielle V.
Opmerkingen: Overall the user-friendly interfase is very nice to work with.
Easy to use
a lot of possibilities
Minpunten: the setup of a new account can be les complicated Many of our customers complain that many emails end up in the spam box. After a few times, SendinBlue comes up with an upgrade for a dedicated server, but that is too expensive for our customers. this is also perceived as user-friendly by us and our customers: unexpected costs. a managersaccount for all our customers (more than 10 and stil growing) is very expensive because we have small companies as customers.

An excellent low cost alternative to Mailchimp!
Paul V.
Opmerkingen: We took up Send in Blue after working with Mailchimp for about three years. We had no issues with Mailchimp aside from the cost and the fact that it wasn't based in the EU, which after Safe Harbour was abolished and due to Mailchimp being base in the US, made it a service which breached Data Protection guidelines for Academic Institutions. SendinBlue offers most of the features offered by Mailchimp, and its automation feature in some ways is superior to Mailchimp's. The only issues we came across were to do with the Email design interface - ok, but not quite as polished as Mailchimp's. Also, the Transactional Email API, although good and less expensive than Mandrill, wouldn't work with our in-house CRM (more a limitation of the CRM than SendinBlue, but still an issue). It's that limitation which prevented me from giving SiB 5 stars. Overall, and despite those minor gripes, SendinBlue is an excellent service that I have no problem in recommending to others.
Pluspunten: Good interface, no limit on the number of email addresses - a good alternative to Mailchimp's subscriptions-based pricing.
Minpunten: The Email designer interface isn't quite as easy to use as Mailchimp's, but it's not a terrible interface by any means.

Ministry of Labour, Training
and Skills Development
Wood splitters are a significant cause of workplace injuries in the forestry, farming, and wholesale sectors. When used in commercial operations many injuries are caused because workers have access to the point of operation. Several critical injuries have been reported to the Ministry of Labour.
Splitters generally utilize a hydraulic cylinder to force a piece of wood between a steel wedge and a plate and are either vertically or horizontally oriented. The hydraulic cylinder travel is controlled by a foot or hand control. In many cases these controls are unshielded allowing unintentional operation, and are located close to the point of operation, which may not prevent workers access to the pinch point. Some newer models are equipped with two hand controls or offer them as optional equipment.
Splitters are used in industrial workplaces for the production of firewood. For the most part, these would not be found in logging operations, but would be found in workplaces that would fit the definition of a factory under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (the Act).
Workers must not be able to have access to moving parts which my injure them. Wood splitters have exposed pinch point(s) (between the log and the plate and/or the steel wedge) that can endanger a worker, similar to a punch press. In addition to fixed guard solutions that prevent access to the hazard, other solutions may be used. Devices such as interlocked moveable guards, two hand controls, and electronic devices such as light curtains may be used to prevent the workers from accessing the point of operation.
If an operating control(s) are used as a guard (e.g. hand controls, foot pedal) for a splitter not otherwise guarded, they must also meet the requirements of section 28 of the Regulations for Industrial Establishments. This requires the control(s) to be in a location where the safety of the operator is not endangered, be arranged so that they cannot be operated accidentally, and not be made ineffective by tie-down devices or other means.
Where more than one worker is involved in the operation of the machine, additional controls or other safeguards may be required to ensure each worker is protected.
Many splitters are fitted with infeed and outfeed conveyors, which must also be guarded in accordance with sections 24 and 25 of the Regulation for Industrial Establishments.
Standards such as CAN/CSA - Z142-02 "Code for Power Press Operation: Health, Safety, and Guarding Requirements" should be consulted to determine the adequacy of guarding.
Regulation for Industrial Establishments – Sections 24, 25, 26, 28, and 76.

A Fifth Lethal Weapon
Posted by Urban Legend - Tuesday, October 07th, 2008
After the era of the sequels, the age of trilogies (Star Wars, Back to the Future, The Godfather, Scream, The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean) now rises the time for . . . quintologies (or whatever it's called ) with Alien 5, Spider-Man 5, Indiana Jones 5 and now Lethal Weapon 5.
Interviewed by IGN, actor Columbus Short (Quarantine) confirmed a fifth installment of the Lethal Weapon franchise for which he is in talks to play Murtaugh's son.
Short also added that Lethal Weapon 5 is on the "fast track", which means that Warner Bros would like to to start the production as soon as possible. Does it mean to be ready for a summer 2009?
The last opus was also made in a hurry, and in a record time in 1998.
Nothing is known about the story, but different sources are saying Riggs (Mel Gibson) is about to retire, but pulls Murtaugh (Danny Glover) out of retirement to solve one final case.
2 replies
Its about time
i love lethal weapon movies i hope every one involved comes back to do lethal wepon 5. i don't want the series to end so soon.

Marie Miguel has been a writing and research expert for nearly a decade, covering a variety of health- related topics. Currently, she is contributing to the expansion and growth of a free online mental health resource with BetterHelp.com. With an interest and dedication to addressing stigmas associated with mental health, she continues to specifically target subjects related to anxiety and depression.
A person's mental health is important, especially in a marriage. Having poor mental health can affect your spouse and your relationship negatively, and can lead to arguments and disagreements, among other issues. Luckily, marriage counseling can help to improve your mental health in many ways, and we'll discuss a few reasons how and why in this article.
It can Help Clear the Air
One thing that can hurt your mental health is keeping your emotions bottled up. If you have an issue with your partner, you may keep it to yourself and not address it to keep the peace. However, forcing these natural feelings down internally may cause them to compound so much that your feelings may surface suddenly, seemingly without warning. This type of reaction may be more hurtful to your relationship than if you had just addressed the situation in a timely manner. Without the ability to express these emotions in a constructive and healthy way, your relationship may be damaged.
A counselor can help you (and your partner) by helping you to express your emotions in a safe and supportive environment. They can also help articulate your feelings in a different way that your partner can understand, may be more receptive to, and not feel offended by. Further, they can help improve your communication between one another by helping establish a healthier dialogue, including teaching you skills to problem-solve together more effectively.

It can Help You Identify and Address Underlying Childhood Trauma
Sometimes, the trauma you experience as a child can retreat to your unconscious mind and quietly influence how you feel and act, especially in situations that elicit a similar emotional response to the trauma that you underwent in your childhood. For example, if you were neglected as a child, you may now be overly clingy in your relationship. If you were physically or verbally abused as a child, you may be prone to aggression. Childhood trauma doesn't excuse negative behavior, but it is a reason, and it can be treated. A counselor will use many different techniques to make the person move on from their childhood.
You could Discover a Diagnosis
You may be experiencing a mental health problem that you are unaware of. For example, you may have major depressive disorder, but feel like a marital issue is the source of your depressive symptoms, when they run much deeper than your marriage. Under the guidance of a marriage counselor, you can talk about your situations and symptoms, and you can help create a more complete emotional picture of yourself with your counselor, and they may come to a diagnosis. It is unwise to choose a counselor that will rush a diagnosis without due diligence, or enough insight. Diagnosing someone takes time and shouldn't be treated lightly.
After you are diagnosed, a marriage counselor can help treat you.
Helps You Come Up with Goals
When you are experiencing emotional and mental difficulties, identifying any sort of motivation can be difficult. Coming up with a plan to achieve your goals may seem like an insurmountable nightmare. A counselor can help you by allowing you to come up with a plan that best suits your needs and skills – not only for the improvement of your marriage, but also personally and professionally. Throughout the plan's implementation, your counselor will be able to help you modify your plan as you are working through it, if things need to be adjusted, or your goals change. They are a good source of non-judgmental support that can be relied upon to provide unbiased feedback.

You can Examine Your Marriage In-Depth
If you and/or your partner feel unhappy generally in your marriage, this can take a serious toll on your mental health. Every couple will go through hardships in their relationship, but if you feel that you are sad more often than not in your marriage, a counselor can help you salvage your relationship, if both you and your partner are willing. A marriage counselor can help identify, address, and work with you and your partner to resolve issues in your marriage. They may teach you communication skills, help you set a schedule to spend time with your partner throughout the week, assist with coming up with shared goals that you both can work towards, or simply just provide an open environment for you and your partner to connect.
Counseling Anywhere
Everyone deserves the best mental health for themselves as possible; sometimes, it can take hard work to improve it. No matter your situation, you can improve your mental health through counseling, medication, and/or self-help.
When you're having a marital problem, you may need help right away. One way you can do this is by speaking to a professional online, from anywhere that you have connectivity. Online services such as BetterHelp provide you with around-the-clock counseling that can accommodate your busy schedules and help you to improve your marriage and ultimately live a better life for yourself, and together.
