XORD ROSEBKKY AND LIBERAL LEAGUE. The Earl of Rosebery presided over a din&er of the Liberal League, held at the Hotel Cecil, and, in proposing the toast of Prosperity to the League," said that while not attributing excessive importance to bye-elections, he regarded the recent contest at Leeds, in the circumstances under which it had been fought, as an epoch-making election, a great triumph for Liberalism, and a damaging blow to the prestige of the Government. It was beginning to be judged by the country. With all his heart he hoped the end of the war would end the differences of the Liberal party; but he could not agree to abandonment of the principles of the League on Irish and other questions. He proceeded to criticise the Government in regard to their domestic policy, and in sketching the objects of the Liberal League mentioned that its members were determined that there should be no independent Parliament set up in Dublin. Mr. Asquith declared he would not include himself in any party for aggressive action against fellow-Liberals. "Their League offered no obstruction. Sir E. Grey having spoken, Mr. Barran gave a few words on the North Leeds election. The electors, he declared, had followed the advice of Lord Rosebery with the best results.
PRESENTATION TO LORD KITCHENER. Lord Kitchener was a guest at the annual South African dinner at the Hotel Cecil, London, and the Lord Mayor, on behalf of the Corporation of Cape- town, presented him with a sword of honour. Having expressed his thanks for the gift, Lord Kitchener said he had a confident hope that, in South Africa at any rate, the sword would never again be drawn from its scabbard. He paid a warm tribute to Lord Milner, in whom he said they all had confidence, wishing him every success in the arduous task which was now before him. Nothing, he added, would more assist Lord Milner in his great work than the rapid development of the country, which was full of natural resources and contained the makings of a new America in the southern hemisphere.
THEFT OF AFRICAN WAR MEDALS. The other morning the paymaster's office and the orderly room at the barracks at Berwick were broken into, and seventy-one South African war medals as well as two hundred and twenty-three clasps were stolen. The whole of the premises were also ransacked, but nothing else of value was taken, although everything was thrown into con- fusion. About a month ago the canteen at the barracks was also forcibly entered, and jE4 was taken.
===== STRUGGLE IN A CHURCH. A young man was observed to be acting strangely in the beautiful Roman Catholic church of the city of Cashel. He had got inside the marble altar rails, and resisted all the efforts to remove him. In the struggle he pulled down the marble structure, which fell with a crash, smashing the marble steps beneath. Ultimately the man was dragged from the church and given into custody. He is supposed to be a lunatic. He killed a goat on his way to the church.
RAILWAY STATION EXPLOSION. An explosion occurred on Thursday night at the Bat and Ball station, Sevenoaks, on the South- Eastern Railway. A policeman on duty outside the station heard a loud report and saw flames issuing from the waiting-room. Immediately afterwards a porter named Fuller rushed out of the room with his clothes on fire. He was followed by Station- master Bunce and a shunter named Brooks. The three men were taken to the Cottage Hospital, "where the man Fuller was detained. It is believed that an escape of gas was the cause of the explosion.
EXTRAORDINARY YARMOUTH STORY. An extraordinary story has been told to the Yarmouth magistrates of an attempt to fire a ship docked in the harbour. The barquentine Meda had been left by the captain with only the cook, named Herbert Mingay, who was shipped on Monday, on board. On the captain returning on Tuesday night he found his state-room on fire, while paraffin oil had been spread about with other inflammables. The door of his room had been forced, and he missed many of his belongings. Mingay was not to be found. At a late hour Mingay got on a shrimp boat, the Three Brothers, which was prepared for sea, cast her off, and was proceeding to sea, when the crew of the shrimp boat, who were in an inn on the quay, hearing of their boat beini; taken, went in pursuit in another boat, overhauled Mingay, and detained him till a policeman arrived. He had on the shrimp boat clothes and food, and the vessel looked fitted out for a voyage. He now admitted stealing the shrimp boat and the clothes from the Meda, but the fire he denied all know- ledge of. He was committed to the assizes on all three charges:
A NURSE'S MARRIAGE STORY. Mr. Justice Barnes has had befoir him, in the Divorce Court, the case of Burke v. Burke. This was the petition of Mrs. Alice Burke for a dissolu- tion of her marriage on the ground of the cruelty, desertion, and adultery of her husband, Frederick Burke.—Mr. Murphy, who appeared for the petitioner, stated that the petitioner had been a hospital nurse at the Liverpool Royal Infirmary, and she first met the respondent when he was an in-patient there, and had his leg amputated. As a result of the acquaintance, they were married at All Saints' Church, Princes Park, Liverpool, on January 1st, 1893. From the commencement of the married life the respondent systematically ill- treated his wife. A few days after the marriage he struck her. Subsequently the wife had to leave him in consequence of her husband's brutality. Later on he was convicted in Liverpool for obtaining money under false pretences. During the course of last year the husband appeared in London in "quite another capacity," viz., he was engaged in the service of the Church of England Temperance Society, and was also found to be living with another woman.—These facts having been proved, his lordship granted a decree nisi, with costs.
ANGLESEY JEWEL ROMANCE. The story of the recovery of the Anglesey jewels provides all the elements of a great romance. The valet who robbed his master, the mysterious lady who disappeared with the plunder, the innocent people in Paris who wanted to return it to its owner—on the basis of a cash payment—and the detective and his confederates who succeeded in "spoiling their game," might all have sprung from the imagination of a Conan Doyle. With charac- teristic shrewdness Detective-inspector Drew kept back the full details of Gault's confession until the recovery of practically the whole of the jewels was assured. Had he published it as soon as it was made, the lady in whose possession they were might have dropped them into the sea. As it was, shortly after Gault's trial a man in Paris communicated with Lord Anglesey's representatives, saying he believed he had come across some of the jewels and would be willing to sell them back. To encourage him the detectives, acting as Lord Anglesey's friends, bought several of the jewels at nominal prices. The ruse was effectual. Presently the man in Paris spoke of the great pear-shaped pearl, valued at £12,000. For this 35,000f. (£1,400) was offered, but the negotiator was dissatisfied, and said he would like to see Lord Anglesey him- self. Accordingly one of his lordship's servants dressed for the part and went to Paris. "Where did you get the jewels?" he asked. "We were searching the ashes at Martinique after the eruption of Mount Pelee," was the reply, "and we found them there in a tin box with a letter Baying what they were." Eventually, it was arranged that a representative of the Marquess (who was in reality a detective) should accompany the man to a cafe, where his two friends who had the pearl should hand it over in exchange for the money. The man made it a condition that the detective should remain in one part of the cafe while he went among the crowd in another part and obtained the pearl. This was agreed upon, and he went away, fetched the pearl from his friends, and handed itf over. The detective gave a signal, and within two minutes the three men were appre- hended. Women in the crowd had been acting as detectives, and had noticed the two men from whom the jewel was obtained. Chief-inspector Drew arranged the coup. Three weeks ago he left London, giving it out that he was going to Switzerland on holiday in order to throw in- terested persons off the scent. It was from Switzer- land that he organised the recovery of the jewels and the capture of the men. He has succeeded in getting back nearly £30,000 worth of the jewellery lost, the value of the whole of which was estimated at something over £40,000. Under the French law the arrested men cannot be extradited. Gault's lady friend will be the next to engage the attention of the detective, and there is already a suspicion of her whereabouts. An appeal is to be lodged against the de ci-1 n in favour of Sir Roger Palmer delivered bv Justice Swinfen Eady in the Thames fishery dilute. Werk has been stopped at a Dublin laundry bv an eel 3ft. long and over 41b. in weight, finding its way into one of the water-pipes of the establishment. With a membership of 419,606, the General Federation of Trades Unions had an income of £29,962 during the year just ended. Its total funds now amount to £76,969.
THE Vi loN C,vn\s. In an an- wer leJ Uie -ttner U.i> <.o Mr C" 03 who asked whether the charges made under he proclamation of August 15th, 1901, fur the cost of maintenance of wives and children in the concentra- tion camps against burghers on commando who did act surrender before September 15th have now been cancelled, and whether, 'n the cases of the i arms sold under the proclamation to make good these charges,steps have been or will now be taken to reinstate in these farll1" the burghers whose farms were thus sol Mr. Chamberlain has stated that no steps han; been taken to recover the cost of maintenance since the conclusion of peace. Farms which were being advertised lor sale when the terms of surrender were signed were withdrawn by notiee published 00 June 6th. No other action has been taken in the matter, but a report from Lord Milner is now on the way home.
A CANAANITISH CASTLE FOUND. Dr. Settin, Professor of tiie Protestant Theological Faculty at Vienna University, whose discovery of one of Solomon's castles was recently reported, has now arrived at Trieste. The results of the explora- tion tour are much larger than was anticipated, writes the Chronicle correspondent. Dr. "Settin has succeeded in excavating in Jezreel Valley a Canaanitish castle three or four thousand years old, also two Jewish fortresses and an Arabian castle. The explorer has also found in old cemeteries a great number of archteological treasures, among them a Jewish altar, decorated with six cherubim, four lions, and two mythological wall paintings supposed to be unique.
HOLBEIN'8 CHANNEL SWIM. Mr. Montague Holbein started on Thursday even- ing on his attempt to swim across the English Channel to the Kentish coast, entering the water at Cape Grisnez shortly before half-past five. He commenced his swim at the beginning of the eastern or flood tide, going off with a powerful stroke, and making a good pace through the water. The weather conditions could not have been more favourable, the sea being almost smooth except for a little ruffle occasionally on the water caused by ths light easterly breeze. He was accompanied by friends on the tug Gianville, those on board including two medical men. He was well rubbed with oil before starting, and wore a specially-fitted mask and goggles for the protection of his eyes. Soon after his start the sea became very choppy. There was a strong tide setting eastward, and Holbein was steadily drifted along towards Calais. He swam in superb style, and made fairly good headway across Channel, considering the very strong tide. By 11.30 Holbein was about half- a-dozen miles off Calais in his effort to reach the English coast. The lights on the English shore had been visible for some time, and steady progress was made towards them or the first hour or two of the westwnv.l ti<'e, but this also strengthened, and was quite Ic.l.i.h n Channel. By two o'clock in the morning Holbein pluckily kept ahead, and was carried steadily back to Cape Gri*•<•• and past that point. He was covering three miles an hour for the greater part of the time, but I i- progress directly towards England by h:.if-past f. >• was only represented by eight miles, alll "ugh he nad swam about thirty. It had been i.ticipated th.it he would reach the Varne buoy, miles off !> iver, on the westward tide, but, as this was a consultation of the experts on board was held, with the result that Holbein was advi. d to give up and try again. Holbein refu-ed to accept the advice for some time, and con- tinued to persevere with his swim. His friends emphasised their advice later with the result that Holbein agreed to come out. He was bitterly disappointed, and jumped into the boat quite unassisted at six o'clock. He was quite fresh and strong, whilst, to the surprise of everyone, his temperature was normal. On landing at Dover Holbein, who had an enthusi- astic reception, expressed his inn determination to try again.
SOCIETY LIBEL ACTION. The hearing has been concluded in the House of Lords of the case "Dora Xealc v. Lady Amelia Susannah Gordon-Lennox," which is an appeal in an action for libel and slander from an order of the Court of Appeal directing that the action should, in accordance with a compron i-e entered into by counsel representing both parties, be referred to a private arbitration. Miss Xe.; <• submits that the order of the Court of Appeal should be set aside, and the case allowed to go to trial, on the ground that she consented to an arbitration conditional only on Lady Gordon-Lennox withdrawing all imputations against her character.—The Lord Chan- cellor, in moving that the judgment of the Court of Appeal be reversed, said Sir Edward Clarke had, in what he believed to be the interest of his client, suggested that the case should be heard privately, but that she was perfectly within her rights in having her character vindicated in public.—The appeal was allowed, and tI". judgment of the Court of Appeal reversed with costs.
SALESWOMAN AND ENGINEER. At the London Sheriff's Court, < ;i Friday, before Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell and a jury, the remitted case of Xon-ie v. Butchart came on for hearing. This was an action to recover damages for breach of promise of marriage, the plaintiff being a Miss Margaret Norrie, a saleswoman, and the defendant Mr. James Butchcrt, an engineer in the employ of the British India Steam Navigation Company, on the steamship Golconda. Defendant did not appear, and was not represented.—Mr. Pollock, counsel for the plaintiff, said that some six years ago the plaintiff was a saleswoman in a large boot store in Glasgow, and the defendant seventh engineer on board the steamship Golconda. Defendant was now, however, fourth engineer, having been promoted. The acquaintanceship soon ripened into friendship, and then into something more. In July, 1899, the defendant, just before leaving for a voyage, asked the plaintiff to marry him. She consented, and the wedding was fixed for July, 1900, but a postponement was agreed to. In November when pressed to fulfil his engagement, he declined. The plaintiff was now twenty-seven years of age, and the jury would doubtless bear that in mind in assessing the damages, as some of the best years of her life had been wasted. A large number of affectionate letters passed between the parties, defendant signing him- self, "Your ever faithful Jim," and later, "Your ever loving Jim." At the end of the letters were those little crosses which, said counsel, meant so much to the lovers at the time, but so little when read in the dry atmosphere of the Sheriff's court. Counsel concluded by saying that the plaintiff left her situation at the defendant's instigation, and was also put to some expense in preparing her tremxeau.— Miss Margaret Norrie, the plaintiff, residing at Govan, near Glasgow, went into the box and bore out the counsel's statement. The defendant sent her a telegram just as she was about to start for London, and told her he could make no arrange- ments for the wedding. Plaintiff added that defendant was in receipt of £8 per month, but now it was more, on account of his promotion.—The jury assessed the damages at £ 125.—Judgment for that amount was entered, with costs.

THE CORONATION THE KING'S CONVALESCENCE. The King for the first time since his stay on tin Victoria and Alber: walked on the promenade deci above the pavilion on Monday. To do this his Majesty had to pass up and down a flight of stairs, and he did so unassisted. This constitutes a very marked advance in the King's progress, and indicates how well the wound is healing. The British Me licil Journal says: We are pleased to be able to state that the King is doing well, and has made more rapid progress than was anticipated. The wound is reduced to very small proportions. Putting aside actual accidents, the public need not fear any second postponement of the Coronation, nor be uneasy as to the King's ability to go through the ceremony with safety and without exhaustion. On Tuesday his Majesty was up on deck at an earlier hour than usual, and was an interested spectator of the start of the yachts engaged in the race for his Majesty's Cup. The Royal yacht left her moorings just before one o'clock and went for a cruise to the eastward. The King has had a number of visitors to see him, and on Monday the Empress Eugenie, who is staying at Cowes on board her yacht the Thistle, paid a visit to the King and Queen. The Queen and Princess Victoria, accompanied by Sir Frederick Treves, afterwards went on board the Royal yacht Osborne, and made a private visit to Netley Hospital. A SEA TRIP TO SCOTLAND. Their Majesties, who will return to Cowes after the Coronation and will stay there for at least a week, will then proceed from Cowes to Balmoral, says the World, and in order to avoid the long rail- way journey from Gosport to Ballater, it is con- templated that they shall go from the Solent to Aberdeen on the Royal yacht. The Braemar Gatlu ring, which has not been held since September, 1899, will probably be revived this year, but it is understood that it will take place at Old Mar Castle, and not at Balmoral. CEREMONY REHEARSALS. Several rehearsals of the Coronation ceremony within the Abbey have been held under the direction of the Duke of Norfolk, Earl-Marshal, General Sir Reginald Pole-Carew instructing the noblemen and others in the task of marching in the prescribed fashion. Among those attending on Monday were Lord Churchill (ActingLord Chamberlain), Viscount Valentia, Lord Rosebery, General Pole-Carew, Dr. Sheppard, Canons Robinson, Duckworth, and Henson, the Dean of Westminster, Bishop Welldon, the Bishop of Winchester, Mr. Victor Cavendish, Earl Spencer, the Earl of Pembroke, and several of the Pages and the oflicials of the College of Arms. BEARING THE ROYAL TRAINS. Special attention has been devoted to practising the pages in the important duties which devolve upon them in bearing the trains of the King and Queen. The King will not carry the enormous weight of the Imperial mantle during the long progress from the annexe to the" theatre." But the mantle rests upon his shoulders during the investiture with the ring and the two sceptres, the putting on of the Crown, the presentation of the Bible, the enthronisation, the homage, the crowning of the Queen, and the Holy Communion. Some forty yards of the purest cloth of gold have been used for this magnificent robe, in addition to its sumptuous embroideries and <ipp/iqi,{<, into which heavy gold and silver threads also enter largely. Hence the necessity for support of the great weight in a manner that is something more than a picturesque formality. Lord Suffield fulfils the duty of Master of the Robes, and the train will be carried under his direction by six peers who are still minors, namely the Duke of Leinster, the Marquess Conyngham, the Earls of Portarlington and Caledon,Lord Vernon, and Lord Somcrs. They will be assisted by Viscount Torrington, who was one or the Pages of Honour at the State opening of Parliament in February last, and the Hon. V. A. Spencer. The Queen will have no ceremonial vestments to assume, but her train is of immense length, and will be a heavy burden to sustain. The Duchess of Buccleuch, as Mistress of the Robes, herself assists in bearing it, and the pages will include the youthful Marquess of Stafford, Lord Claud Nigel Hamilton, the Hon. Robert Palmer, the Earl of Macclesfield, the Hon. Edward Lascelles, and the Hon. Arthur Anson. INVITATIONS TO MAYORS. The Earl Marshal, in accordance with his Majesty's commands, has addressed communications to all Mayors of towns of over 20,000 inhabitants inviting their attendance at the Coronation cere- mony. The invitations were sent out by telegram on Sunday night, and an immediate reply by tele- gram was requested. The text of the invitation foi the Coronation ceremony sent to Mayors of pro- vincial boroughs is as follows: "I am commanded to send you an invitation for the Coronation on August 9th. If you wish one kindly reply. You would have to wear robes and chain if no robes, uniform or Court dress, with chain." The Mayoi of Clonmel sent the following reply to the Earl- Marshal's message: "Neither wish for nor will accept invitation to Coronation.—CONDON, Mayoi aacl M.P., East Tipperary." CORONATION ITEMS. It is announced at The Hague that owing to the state of King Edward's health, no special or diplomatic mission will be sent by the Netherlands to London for the Coronation festivities. A Coronation committee at Wolverhampton has arranged for the roasting of an ox on Saturday, in celebration of the Coronation. Coronation festivities have been arranged at Buenos Ayres for Friday and Saturday. The authorities have, a Times telegram says, conceded permission to fly the British flag on these days. Simultaneously with the Coronation at West- minster Abbey, there will be a special service at St. Saviour's, Southwark. The service will be choral, but the music, owing to the unavoidable absence of a large number of the choir on their holi- days, will be of a simple character. The Coronation chairs which the peers and peeresses are to use are being eagerly competed for. They are all branded with the King's monogram and other devices, and are all to be sold after the Coronation. It is already evident that there will only remain at most some one hundred and fifty of these chairs for competition among the outside public, so keen is the desire on the part of the peers, the Government officials, and others to have them as mementos. It is officially announced that the Abbey will be open from Tuesday, 12th inst., until Saturday, 16th inst., between the hours of 10 a.m. and six p.m. On Tuesday only the Colonial, Indian, and native troops will be admitted under command and without charge. The charge for admission on the other days will be as follows: Wednesday, August 13th, 5s; Thursday, August 14th, 2s. 6d. Friday and Saturday, August 15th and 16th, 6d. THE NAVAL REVIEW. The lists shewing the positions which the ships taking part in the Naval Review at Spithead will occupy indicate that in the main arrangement will be very similar to that observed at the original assembly of the Fleet in June. In all there will be six lines, that designated F being reserved as the anchorage for foreign warships. This will be on the Isle of Wight side, and next to the foreigners will be the principal British line, designated "E," headed by the flagship of the Channel Squadron, and in this will be the Royal Sovereign, which takes the place of the London as flagship of Sir Charles Hotham, the Admiral in supreme command. Lines D and C will be composed of some of the older battleships, cruisers, and smaller craft, while line B is allotted entirely to torpedo-boat destroyers, which will be moored off the mainland between Southsea and Stokes Bay. Nearer in shore will be a smaller line, designated "A," reserved for special service boats. The full list is as follows, the names reading from east to west: LINE E.—Battleships: Majestic, Jupiter, Han- nibal, Prince George, Magnificent, Mars, Trafalgar, Nile, Royal Sovereign, Edinburgh, and Dreadnought; the cruisers Niobe, Doris, Pactolus, Sutlej, Furious, Prometheus, St. George, Juno, and Brilliant. LINK D.—Battleships: Revenge, Empress of India, Camperdown, Anson, Resolution, Benbow, Sans Pareil, Collingwood, Devastation. Cruisers: Cres- cent, Endymion, Australia, Galatea, Apollo, Melampus, Severn, Andromache, Minerva, Rainbow, and Hyacinth. LINK C. — Cruisers: Immi rtalite, Narcissus, Hawke, and Scylla. Gunboats: Antelope, Jason, Spanker, Speedwell, Gleaner. Skipjack, Renard, Hebe, Alarm, Sheldrake, Sha/pshooter, Seagull, Juseur, Circe, and Hazard; the training ships Northampton, Calliope, Cleopatra, Dolphin, Wan- derer, Pilot, Martin, Liberty, Nautilus, and Sea- flower. LINK B.—Destroyers Succe", Zephyr, Electra, Zebra, Flirt, Fervent, Wi/.ard, Syren, Racehorse, Snapper, Haughty, Angler, Roebuck, Ranger, Sunfish, Swordti h. Sprightly, Lively, Opossum, Decoy Gipsy, Skate, Dasher, Charger, Starfish, Ferrer, Hunter, Hasty, Contest, Shark, Hornet, and Ha iock. "What an excellent way of settling the drink question it would be if all the public-houses weie kel-t by members of the Blue Ribbon Army!" said ftir. Justice Darling at the Law Courts. Damages to the amount of £4,000 were obtained at Leeds assizes against the Lancashire and York- shire hail way Coir:p; ny by Mr. Filner CasS, a com- traveller, who was injured in a railway accident at lioibeck.

Aside from SEO, our number one traffic driver is the IFB Weekly Newsletter (it'll be coming out tomorrow). Over the years, it's been such a consistent traffic driver, and eventually income driver, that even though the newsletter costs money to maintain, it's worth the investment.
We aren't the only ones who have seen great results from newsletters, ecommerce sites get twice as effective results from newsletters than from social media, even ProBlogger reported that a single newsletter for his site Digital Photography School generated over 10 times the traffic as his social media efforts.
That's pretty old school, no? All these new social networks and strategies, and newsletters are still killing it?
So how do you create effective newsletters? The tactic we are going to focus on today is getting those newsletters opened.
The subject line.
Whether you have 10 subscribers or 10,000, the subject line is the gateway to your content. Like the post title, the subject line only has a fraction of a second to capture your reader's attention, and it can make the difference between a successful newsletter and one that gets sent to the trash.
Short and sweeet
Email subject lines get cut off after a certain amount of characters depending on what email service your recipients are using. To make sure they get the most important information, make sure your subject lines are no longer than 60 characters. You can make them longer, but put the least important stuff at the end.
Identify yourself
Make sure your newsletter recipients know where your email is coming from. Sometimes your name will work if your readers know you by name, other times, it's good to stick to your blog's name. "IFB" gets more opens than "Jennine Jacob." Maybe I need to do less "behind the scenes" type work. Heh.
Earn Trust: make sure your content is relevant
The quickest way to undermine your open rate is to pull crazy tricks to get opens without delivering in your content. Make sure your subject line always reflects the content of your newsletter, and they both reflect the type of content on your blog.
Ask a question
Asking a question is a wonderful way to pique someone's curiosity. Your questions can hint that the solutions are in your email, for example:
Is your blog traffic growing fast enough?
Then the content of your newsletter should have either a link leading to where they can find out how to grow blog traffic quickly, or offer those tips directly in the email.
Use Power Words
We've talked about power words before, words like "easy" and "free" are compelling words. For example:
DIY Summer Trends You Can Do For Free!
If you publish a lot of DIY's this can get your reader's attention.
Offer Exclusive Content
One way to get readers to look forward to your emails (and even drive subscriptions) is to offer content and services not available on your site. We used to run our "Blogger Spotlight" feature in our emails which drove a lot of opens, people looked forward to seeing who would be featured in each newsletter. You could offer deals, downloads, special content you don't offer anywhere else… the sky is the limit!
Numbered Lists
I have to tell you the numbered list post thing is like crack. Take the title of this post for example. Time and time again, we get not only better results, but MUCH better results from numbered lists. It's hard to do anything else, but hey, it works.
Test with A/B split testing
You can't know what works without testing. One way you can test, is to see how many people open your newsletter, but the most useful tool I have used is A/B split testing. Mailchimp has this with their newsletter service. It sends out two different subject lines to a small portion of your subscription list, then which ever subject line gets the most opens gets sent to the rest of the list. It's great for honing in on what exactly will resonate with your subscribers.
So now you have a few tips to get started, all that's left is getting subscribers for your newsletter!

My wife is gone again for another tour to the Alaskan wilderness. This time she'll be gone for a whole month, about the time of her previous stay. This is her third time leaving me for an extended period, and this time was profoundly different from the other two. I never like to see her go, it is literally losing your best friend in the whole world, but it never seems to have struck me as hard as it did this time.
It made me remember a truism I was told by a Canadian armed forces parachute instructor. He was explaining how the third jump with a military parachute (substantially smaller than a recreational one) is the worst you will ever do. It went like this: [WARNING: The rest of this is basically a sorrowful, self-indulgent introspection and is likely pretty damn boring if you're not me or my wife. You have been warned] (more…)

See this Bloomberg News video segment of Dr. Marc Faber giving a big picture overview of the US and world economy.
Within the first few minutes, Faber takes the viewers and program anchor to school on a multitude of economic/financial issues.
His response to the anchor's assertion that the Fed has done very well in keeping money and liquidity tight and curtailing the easy money policies of the past:
"Well, I think that the Fed, since June 2004, has increased the Fed Funds rate from 1 percent to 5.25 percent. But money hasn't been tight, because the definition of tight money is that credit/debt...credit market volume, or the debt growth, slows down considerably. That is tight money.
And believe me, when you have tight money the art market doesn't go up by 27 percent like in the US last year. And you don't see new highs in stocks, and you don't see new highs in asset markets like commodities and real estate..."
Don't miss this.

It has been one year since Tania Gomez was honored as a Dress for Success Ambassador. In that year, Tania's life has gone through many positive shifts as she strives to grow and blossom as a professional, multi-faceted woman. The classes and programs that Tania attended on her journey with Dress for Success have changed her life in a multitude of ways both in her body and in her mind. She is not the same women she once way and in a year, she will be even greater.
In June of last year, Tania graduated from the Financial Literacy Program which gave her the necessary knowledge and skills to get her financial situation under control. Then, in September, Tania decided to begin a new chapter in her life that began with the Wealthy Being program. She had been wanting to run the NYC Marathon and in pursuing that dream, Tania has already ran two races and recently completed the Brooklyn Half on May 19th, 2018.
In addition to her growing interest in personal health, Tania has also participated in the LeadHership Program, which she is due to finish in a month. Through the lessons and seminars of the program, Tania has felt a positive shift in the trajectory of her career. For Tania, the LeadHership Program has been monumental in her career path. Being a participant of the program has opened up Tania to new opportunities to grow professionally and apply for managerial and supervisory positions at her job. Her faith and belief in her own abilities has grown immensely and Tania is no longer afraid to seize the opportunities that come her way.
In April of 2017, Tania celebrated a major achievement at work. She was promoted to the position of Community Service Specialist and with her hard work and fierce dedication to her job, Tania is looking to move up the ladder at her company and there is no doubt she will achieve anything she sets her mind to.
As Dress for Success gave Tania a new, positive outlook on life, Tania is committed to giving back and empowering others around her. When she needed a helping hand and some guidance, the Dress for Success sisterhood was there for her and Tania is motivated to do the same for women around her. Her humility is exemplary and her recognition for a female solidarity is key to empowering herself and others around her. Currently, she is involved with the CAP project through which she is able to mentor a young lady transitioning out of the foster care system. In her spare time, Tania volunteers at Dress for Success including the recent Be Bold Gala of 2018.

PRO Rugby has let all players know that they are exercising the Voluntary Termination clause in each of their contracts. This likely signals the end of PRO Rugby. In a letter to players PRO Rugby CEO Doug Schoninger blamed issues with U.S.A. Rugby has a reason for exercising the termination clause. The door was left open to resolving the issues but with the league not able to make much happen on the expansion and sponsorship front, as well as deteriorating relations with various groups it doesn't look likely. It looks like the end of PRO Rugby in the current form.
Despite having their Voluntary Termination clause exercised players are still employees of PRO Rugby through the end of the clause. Schoninger also notified players that payment that was due on December 15th will be paid later this week. He cited the ongoing issues with U.S.A. Rugby as the reason for the delay.
Take the jump to read the letter.

Ultrasound guided Vascular Access
I. Introduction and Indications
Emergency physicians are often called upon to rapidly establish intravenous access for critically ill patients. Depending on the clinical scenario, cannulation of a peripheral vein is first attempted and if unsuccessful, a more central vein is tried. Several factors including body habitus, volume depletion and history of intravenous drug abuse can make this a challenging task.
- Real-time visualization and anatomical guidance of venous cannulation
- Minimize number of attempts
- Decrease complication rates
II. Anatomy
It is important to appreciate the sonographic difference between veins and arteries. Veins are thin walled, non-pulsatile, easily compressible, and in a patient with normal hydration status larger than arteries (Figure 1). This principle applies to both the central and peripheral vasculature. In this section we will discuss the basic anatomical landmarks required to perform peripheral and central venous cannulation.
Central Veins
When deciding which central vein to cannulate, we usually think of either the subclavian or internal jugular vein. The femoral vein should only be considered if the above veins are not accessible. As already hinted by its name, the subclavian vein runs for a significant distance under the clavicle. Ultrasound visualization in this area is extremely difficult, as the high acoustic impedance of the clavicle bone causes a large acoustic shadow in most areas of the image. Only in a very lateral or supraclavicular approach imaging can be obtained. This makes it a more difficult choice for cannulation under ultrasound guidance. In contrary, the internal jugular vein traverses the neck virtually unopposed by bone making it an ideal vessel to evaluate using ultrasound. The internal jugular vein runs vertically in the neck lying at first lateral to the internal carotid artery, and then lateral to the common carotid as it eventually unites with the subclavian vein. The internal jugular vein lies underneath the bifurcation of the sternal and clavicular heads of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), which is used as an external landmark when trying to locate the vein.
The common femoral vein is formed by the superficial femoral vein and
the deep femoral vein approximately 5-7 cm caudal to the inguinal ligament.
It is joined by the greater saphenous vein (a superficial vein) from medial
prior to passing under the inguinal ligament to form the external iliac
The common femoral vein lies medial to the artery only in the region immediately inferior to the inguinal ligament. It quickly takes a location posterior to the artery within 2 - 4 cm of the inguinal crease and remains posterior to the arteries into the calf (see also DVT chapter).
Figure 1: Still image of left internal jugular vein in transverse view.
Peripheral Veins
The antecubital veins of the arm are most commonly used in the emergency setting (Figure 2). Superficial veins that traverse the antecubital fossa include the cephalic and basilic veins. The cephalic vein begins in the radial part of the dorsal venous network and ascends upward within the superficial fascia in front of the elbow in the groove between the brachioradialis and biceps brachii. The basilic vein begins in the ulnar part of the dorsal venous network. It runs up the posterior surface of the ulnar side within the superficial fascia of the forearm in the groove between the biceps brachii and pronator teres. The brachial veins begin at the elbow, by the union of the venae comitantes of the ulnar and radial arteries and lie deep to the superficial veins mentioned above. The deep brachial vein lies adjacent to the pulsatile non-compressible brachial artery.
Another common site for peripheral venous access is the external jugular vein (v. jugularis externa). It receives blood from the exterior of the cranium and the deep parts of the face and is being formed by the posterior facial and auricular vein. The v. jugularis externa runs perpendicularly down the neck, in the direction from the angle of the mandible to the middle of the clavicle at the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoideus muscle. In its course it crosses the sternocleidomastoideus muscle obliquely, perforates the deep fascia in the subclavian triangle and ends in the subclavian vein,. The external jugular vein varies in size and is occasionally duplicated.
Figure 2: Still image of a peripheral vein.
III. Scanning Technique, Normal Findings and Common Variants
When attempting to localize these vessels on the ultrasound machine it is important to remember that superficial vessels stand alone while deeper vessels are paired.
Procedure Technique:
A linear array transducer with frequency ranging from 7.5 to 10 MHz is recommended for ultrasound guided vascular access. Care must be taken to cover the probe with a sterile sheath prior to starting the procedure (Figure 3). The depth, direction and patency of the central or peripheral vein should be examined using ultrasound prior to needle insertion. A proper "time-out" procedure step should be assured when necessary.
Figure 3: Linear probe with sterile sheath cover.
Central Venous Access
Internal Jugular Vein (IJV)
The patient is prepped as if you would attempt a traditional line placement.
The patient's head can be placed in the conventional rotated position
or kept in a neutral head position.
A potential benefit of a neutral head position is that the internal jugular vein assumes a more lateral position to the carotid artery (it would rotate anterior and over the artery with head movement to the opposite side). Keeping the two major neck vessels in a parallel rather than perpendicular alignment can minimize the risk of arterial puncture should the needle be advanced too far. This is especially important in patients with low venous filling pressures and vein collapse.
Ultrasound should also be used to locate the sternoclaidomastoid muscle when choosing a puncture site. Needle insertion through the muscle should be avoided whenever possible. It can lead to bleeding and painful hematoma.
The indicator on the transducer should be oriented in the same direction as the indicator on the screen and located in the upper left hand side of the display. It can be used as a reference point when directing the needle towards the vessel of interest.
The transducer is placed in transverse orientation over the triangle formed by the two heads of the SCM. Slowly slide the probe distally, until you find the area of interest, two dark and oval or round appearing vessels. Use the transducer to compress the vein to confirm that it is indeed the vein and not the artery (Video clip 1). Position the vein in the center of your image and place the needle to the midline of the transducer. Estimate or measure the depth of the IJ vein from the skin surface. You can use the same distance when determining how far from the transducer the needle should enter the skin when the angle of insertion is close to 45 degrees (Figure 4 and 5). In this scenario it is also important to remember that the length of the needle should be at least 1.4 times as long as the measured depth of the vein (Illustration 1). Align the needle with the longitudinal axis of the vein while advancing it.
Video clip 1: Shows compression of left internal jugular vessel.
Figure 4
Figure 5
Figure 4: Patient
preparation and position for right IJ central line placement.
Figure 5: Needle insertion technique right IJ.
Illustration 1: When the needle is inserted in a 45 degree angle, the path of the needle is approximately 1.4 times as long as the measured depth of the vessel. This can be estimated using the Phythagorean theorem, whereby the needle path equals the hypotenuse (c) and depth of the vessel and distance from transducer are the legs a and b of the triangle.
Advance the needle under direct ultrasound vision ('dynamic technique').
The sonographic appearance of the needle tip on the screen is a hyperechoic structure that casts a narrow shadow called "ring-down" artifact (Figure 6). Following cannulation of the vein using ultrasound guidance, standard Seldinger technique should be used to place the catheter during which ultrasound is usually not needed.
The technique for central venous access of the Femoral Vein (FV) is similar to the above descibed IJ approach. Especially in patients were the femoral vein runs inferior to the artery, ultrasound can guide in a more oblique approach, minimizing the risk of accidential arterial puncture.

Peripheral Venous Access
Patient is placed in supine position with tourniquet applied to assist in vein engorgement. Transducer is placed on the antecubital fossa in transverse axis and the same technique described above is used to identify and cannulate the peripheral vein of interest. An alternative approach is positioning the transducer in a long or sagittal axis to the vessel of interest. This is very helpful to confirm that an approporiate angle was used to cannulate the vessel.

showing good position and patency of IV catheter. The IV flush is seen
as a rainbow-colored "twinkle" on color Doppler. Note that the
