Joslin Scientists Advance Understanding of Human Brown Adipose Tissue and Grow New Cells
Joslin scientists report significant findings about the location, genetic expression and function of human brown adipose tissue (BAT) and the generation of new BAT cells. These findings, which appear in the April 2013 issue of Nature Medicine, may contribute to further study of BAT's role in human metabolism and developing treatments that use BAT to promote weight loss.

"Ok if you're desperate"
Reviewed Jun 12, 2013
Jeninthechi | Chicago, Illinois
We stayed here for 4 nights while waiting to move into our new apartment, we chose to stay here to save a few hundred bucks, especially since they don't charge for pets and we had to bring our two cats. When we pulled up we considered going elsewhere as there appeared to be some possible gang activity in the parking lot. We decided to give it a night and see what happened anyway. When we got to our non-smoking room the stench of cigarettes was just overwhelming. I think that they perhaps tried to strip the room of its smoke infused furnishings, as it was mostly the entrance way that smelt, but I guess they couldn't replace the doors. I ended up buying a plug in air freshener which took care of it for the most part. The room itself was outdated, old and just, grimy. The bathroom was even worse, I'm kind of amazed that La Quinta has the balls to put 'just renovated' on their website for this hotel. I didn't even want to take a shower here, as I thought I may come out dirtier than when I went in. When I tried to locate an outlet to charge my phone, my only option was the extension cord that the alarm clock was plugged into. The clock kept resetting because the wiring was so bad on it. Breakfast was OK, the muffins were appreciated, unfortunately their new breakfast attendant had still not learned how to fill the coffee machine properly by the time we left. I didn't even look at the pool, given how bad the rest of the place was. Location might be about the only thing this place has going for it. It's right off US 59 and has lots of places nearby to eat. Just don't walk to any of them. Definitely wouldn't stay here again, this was only our second La Quinta stay and it's probably our last.

"Some troubling issues"
Reviewed Jun 8, 2013
Anrol S | Houston, Texas
This La Quinta definitely has some rough spots. The lights didn't work in the first room we were given. When I noticed they were unplugged, I went to plug them in and saw the cords were frayed and had exposed wiring, clearly a safety hazard. When we mentioned it at the front desk, the agent said, "Yeah, a lot of them are like that." Not what you want to hear, especially given that four firefighters were killed here in Houston while battling a motel fire a couple weeks ago. Cleanliness is an issue. I'm sure the staff tries, but until a complete remodel is done, it's about like putting lipstick on a pig. The furnishings are worn, the bathroom needs some SERIOUS attention, and the room is heavily "perfumed" in an attempt to cover up some underlying musty odor. (If you're thinking maybe I just got a dud, wrong -- both rooms were like this.) One thing to note if you travel with electrical gadgets: outlets are in very short supply in the rooms. Also, the a/c unit is very loud, which I actually don't mind because it blocks any noise from the hallway. I can't speak to the pool, fitness center, or business center, as I haven't used them. The breakfast area is tiny, and the selection limited. Overall, I would say you're better off looking elsewhere.

I was suppose to stay for four days but could only stomach two. I left even though I had to pay for all four. One of the non-smoking rooms smelt like cigarettes and the other like mold. I asked to have something done about it and they moved my room & said they would clean it for someone else??? It was mold! Then my 12 yr old son went to get ice and had several teenagers in the hall threaten him. I wouldn't stay here again if it was free, much less if I had to pay for it!

The room was small, but clean. The breakfast was not great - one waffle machine with a long line, unflavored instant oatmeal, cereal, one flavor of yogurt, some fruit that looked like it may be on it's way out. Had to wait at the front desk for a while at check-in, and the desk was not staffed at all another day when I had a question. For the price, it barely met my expectations.

the rooms were standard. bed seemed to be clean and well made. The room next door to me had a dog in it that scratched at the door and barked / yelped EVERY NIGHT I stayed there. I contacted the front desk and was told there was nothing they could do but attempt to contact the owners since they were not in their room to quiet the dog down and make sure it didn't damage anything. it is within walkign distance of Hooters, IHOP (though it smelled like a sewer in their parking lot) Papa Deaux, and a couple buffet places I can not recommend.

From the Forums: Windows Phone 7.8, BlackBerry 10 announcement and Microsoft
Welcome to another From the Forums! This week has been a busy one with the last handful of days featuring the launch of BlackBerry 10, as well as reports that Windows Phone 7.8 is officially rolling out to consumers. It's been an eventful day today with a few articles comparing the Z10 from BlackBerry against Windows Phone and the Lumia 920 in particular, along with our usual news coverage.
But what's being discussed on the Windows Phone community forum?
Windows Phone 7.8 is a hot topic, and has been since it was revealed by Microsoft to be heading to those who still own Windows Phone 7 handsets. With the rollout kicking off, forum member konaitor has created a thread to see who has received the notification and upgraded their hardware. Sporting new tiles and a number of other features, the update is set to refresh the life of older Windows Phones.
So have you received the update? Enjoying the new features in 7.8? Be sure to head on over to the "Check-in for 7.8 Update Through Zune, Have you gotten yours yet?" thread and notify the fellow WPCentralites of your experience.
BlackBerry launches the Z10, thoughts?
As mentioned above, BlackBerry has launched the Z10 smartphone to rejuvenate the brand and prevent the company from continuing in its down spiral. But what does everyone think about the two devices that have been announced? The Z10 and Q10 are on offer and have been discussed in the community forum to some extent.
This is what community member joeynox had to say about BlackBerry 10:
"Today is dday. BB10 is going to be shown off and the tech world is going to jump on it. There's so much buzz around this compared to the launch of wp8. Plus bb10 will have all the apps that are missing from wp8. Today can be a very bad day for wp8 and MS if Rims new os and phone is the next god phone."
It's a fair point. There's always the possibility that BlackBerry could regain its share of the market, but then there's the fact that it has been slipping relatively quickly for a while now. Is there enough in BlackBerry 10 to sway consumers and save the platform? What are your thoughts on BlackBerry's chances? Add your thoughts in the "Today is DDay or BB10 day" thread.
Microsoft can learn much from BlackBerry already?
Microsoft has caused concern for many of its fans and followers - including us here at Windows Phone Central HQ. We'd all like to see "more" from the company when it comes to Windows Phone. The BlackBerry launch could teach the company a thing or two about just how lightly it's backing Windows Phone, or is Microsoft pouring in the required amount of funding and team effort already?
Forum member bilzkh doesn't think so:
"Now look at WP8. At its heart it is a superb OS with the social network integration, lenses integration, augmented reality apps, NFC and Wallet, etc. Then why, why in the name of all that is rational and sensible is MS not pushing each of these elements to the end-user in meaningful ways? Or rather, simply put, why isn't MS putting in the money and commitment behind such an effort?
Why is it that we have to put up with a certain business division 'evaluating' Xbox's value on Windows Phone? Someone at the top needs to put Windows Phone front and center as a key pillar of Microsoft's future in an increasingly 'mobile computing' world, but clearly that isn't happening."
Does this ring any bells with anything you've considered, or do you believe Microsoft is getting most things right so far? Sound your opinion in the "What Microsoft should learn from BlackBerry" thread.

As a Microsoft fan, I've always found their biggest problem is their inability to realize when they HAVE a problem.
demented0ne67 says:
Agreed...they have alot of potential both with windows 8 and windows phone 8 but they don't take advantage of it all because of that
ny_yankees says:
Right now Microsoft cares more about their new XBox 720 coming out than WP8 since at least in the gaming world, Microsoft has more than 3% of share
Shambels says:
I agree the wp8 is out and so once the Xbox is on its way they can work on the phone more. Xbox is one of their major products so its important to retain that market share and grow on it. I'm betting that the integration with 720 and the windows phone will be a huge leap forward....but that's just a wishful guess. Microsoft just needs to get more coordinated within its departments.
Panwo1 says:
A company the size of MS should be able to focus on many projects at the same time and even coordinate the releases of new things in parallel like they did with WP8 and Win 8. The whole time this was going on their Office division was working on Office 2013 & 360. The Windows Phone 8 OS is as good or better than the competition depending upon which features you care about, their biggest challenge is winning over people's minds. Apple is a huge greedy company that has the LARGEST profit margin on its phones, but that is not how they are viewed. MicroSoft needs to re-image itself and its products to win over hearts and minds. The new surface and Windows 8 commercials are a step in the right direction but it will take a sustained effort to break the hold of the Apple cult.
stumpy1570 says:
Lets have some fun. How about deep inside Microsoft and Nokia there was an agreement. Microsoft agrees to fund and then back off, giving the OS to Nokia. Nokia agrees to keep it and pay royalties and Microsoft moves into what they want to be, a services only. The only thing that throws my silly story amiss is they made the surface and possible surface phone. But, its fun to dream.. I'd love for Nokia to stay by itself and just take it. Cheers!!
poddie says:
I'm starting to think the same way. MS just doesn't seem to want to fully commit to WP. Nokia seems fully behind it.
SiikPsychotiik says:
I have often thought of this as well. Nokia just seems to be giving much more effort toward the OS. I don't know if I would want them too fully put Windows Phone in Nokias hands, but a deeper collaboration between the companies with much of it being handled by Nokia.
dreamfly says:
WP8 is really in danger of being pushed aside because BB is quite strong on the enterprise side. The dual profile is an awesome feature. The traditional strong suit of messaging functions are still there. As for my WP8, I can't say MS is stroing at all in the enterprise. Heck my Lumia 920, unlike my HD7, still can't connect to my coporate network using WiFi because there is a problem in the WPA2-Enterprise protocol that MS never seemed to know or fix. So unless MS suddenly are more aware of the threat, they will probably proceed as normal until it's too late.
Infamy79 says:
I think that Blackberry has lost their Enterprise strengths now that they have abandoned their old BES email solution and switched to ActiveSync only. Blackberry 10 isn't even compatible with the old Java based BES 5 servers and BES 10 is essentially just an extension of their mobile fleet management tool Blackberry Mobile Fusion, but even that isn't compatible with legacy Blackberry 7 devices or older.
big dooze says:
From an Enterprise perspective, that was the only way they could survive. No one wants a proprietary hardware device to manage in their datacenter while Exchange can do everything the BES could do. Blackberry has a long way to go to get back into the enterprise though. On the MS side, System Center and Exchange natively manage Windows devices, to get full device management for other platforms requires hosted solutions like Intune or 3rd party hw/sw devices. If I were the CTO, its a no-brainer for me...WP is easier to lock down, secure and manage over all other platforms, that means apple and android too. Partner a WP with Windows 8's multiple form factors and BYOD would be a non-entity in my org. I do like the left swipe gestures though, that is slick...wouldn't mind if WP introduced that, rather than the "hold down the back button" style we have now.
Infamy79 says:
I'm a WP fan, have been using it since WP7 launch day, but even I can acknowledge that BES has features that ActiveSync doesn't even come close to. Also why couldn't BES 10 support both ActiveSync & the legacy BES system? WP doesn't even have VPN support yet, its move to the enterprise is still very half baked.
big dooze says:
who needs VPN on a phone? i find that to be a bit of stretch. If companies deploy SharePoint, they can have access to all the corporate assets they need, on a phone...
BB-04 says:
let me clear a few things up for you. When you are connected to BES 10 you have all the services that you had on bes 5 in cluding push email. The introduction of active sync gives the customer the option to use the one they prefer. BlackBerry mobile fusion is now renamed to BES 10. For now two servers are required on to run BBOS 7 and older phones and one to run BB10 phone but can be managed from the same computer console. In May bes 10 will be the one stop for all mdm solutions as it will manage BB10, BBOS, Android, Apple and Wp8.
Big Dooze- I don't understand why you like having you wp8 locked down by you companies IT department but to each their own. I guess you like smartphone that are locked down to the functionality of dumb phones. Just so you know with BlackBerry Balance BB10 will be the easiest to lock down. I like being able to use what I pay for that's I like the BB10. My IT department can't touch my personal data so I'm free to use my phone as I please and I never have to worry about my information being erased when I leave an employer.
big dooze says:
Why do I want to lock down your personal phone on my corp network....really?
donnyheryanto says:
Windows Phone is a wonderful OS & genius idea. But after using wp for almost a year, I'm wondering, do MS use their own WP for everyday uses as their cellular Phone? If they do, they'll understand the reliability & user experience should be updated.
As a phone the basic modern phone functionality experience must be put first. The messaging notification, reliability & integration should be improved.
And as the application software is growing and i installed many software, it need something like grouping or hub maybe?
ernica says:
I'm realy pissed off with Nokia and Microsoft. They release the 7.8 update, but this update does not fix the lock screen bug (it freezes sometimes and I missed important calls becouse of this bug) and the earplug controls bug when the screen os off, which does ONLY work only when the screen is on.
Frack You, Nokia! Frack you, Microsoft®!
wpward291 says:
BB10 looks good when Att get it ima have to snag it. See which one becomes my primary device 920 or BB10
Sean Davison says:
Alright... so now it's called a "traditional app grid" as opposed that same weak, boring ho-hum, old-ass, used since WM2003, unimaginative garbage that the rest of them use?
OK, got'cha. And this thing being compatible with android apps? Give me a break, did they come into this knowing that developers would ignore it or what?
It's a damn shame people will go even slightly ape-shit over that "notification hub" (hub... really?) just looking at it in video and pictures it looks MESSY and cluttered.
To all of you who are suddenly BB apologists who feel the need to praise them for what looks like lack luster shit, while also downing MS and calling them "dead", I BEG you to go end yourself. You are what's wrong with this whole thing.
Angry_Mushroom says:
So looking through a few of the comments. The race starts now between BB10 and WP8? Both seem to have equal weaknesses and pretty equal strengths. (Not counting games)
gilesjuk says:
Moved from iOS to WP8 and used WP7 briefly before getting the 920.
WP8 just isn't a big enough jump. It seems as if Microsoft is falling into the same bad habit as they did with Windows Mobile, changing stuff behind the scenes that nobody cares about (kernels) and then don't very little to the front end.
Blackberry 10 will do so much better IMHO. Hardware and software working together in harmony.
I think Nokia are the only ones contributing anything useful to Windows phone. Without them it would have died by now.
Jazmac says:
Nice. Seems fluid, flexible and responsive. I love what they did with notification. I wonder how they will price out their apps. On my HP Touchpad, the apps were pretty pricey with the better apps coming in about 4.99. But all in all, it looks good. Could it pry my fingers from my Lumia 920? Not today. At least, not unless the next WP update doesn't support notification. Also, I need to see how the BlackBerry performs in real time and if it will be supported on the BES. But it looks pretty good.

They all eat BBQ but they don't vote the same way
Not far from where that ash tree is said to have smoldered, there's a blazing fire at Danny Hurdle's barbecue joint. Everything here is pig. Pig aprons, pig signs, pig candy holders. A chalkboard next to the entrance proclaims: "Today's pig was from South Mills, N.C."
Not really, Hurdle laughs. His grandkids wrote that to honor their pop-pop's hometown.
What's now Carolina Brothers Pit Barbeque used to be a landmark in Ashburn: the Partlow Brothers store. They sold groceries, hardware, gas, oil. Hurdle, 64, is a stonemason by trade but bought the Partlow building six years ago and took up barbecue.
From Hurdle's place, it's easy to imagine the old Ashburn. Some of the Victorian houses have been restored with curatorial care, though many of the old buildings were torn down. There are still trees and greenery here along Ashburn Road, but perhaps not for long.
NV Homes planted a trailer a stone's throw from Hurdle's place to build 18 high-end homes in a newly developed cul-de-sac. All 18 are stamped sold on the site plan.
Hurdle can feel the changes sweeping Ashburn. He can see it every day in his restaurant. On this day, there is a young Sikh boy, a Muslim man and working women on a lunch break. He added beef and chicken to his menu to keep up with changing dietary needs. "Not everyone eats pig," he says. "But they all eat barbecue."

For most senders, unlimited sending plans will be the most beneficial and cost-effective plan. If you're not sure which plan works best for you, contact our support team and we will help you identify the plan that fits your budget and your needs.
The dashboard modules make it easy to keep track of your quota and your use. Managed growth of your email list is more efficient when you are monitoring the number of new subscribers and cleaning out inactive email addresses.

Surveys are a powerful tool in email marketing. You can use surveys to learn more about your readers, to find out what they are interested in, why they are reading, and what they would like more of. You can also do some market research and test out new ideas for products and services. Surveys and polls are a good way to create more dynamic interaction between you and your email list and can also be used to help integrate your email marketing with your social media accounts (posting your results on Facebook, for example).

When crafting the messages for your Forward to a Friend page, always welcome the new reader to your business and your campaigns. Thank them for their interest, and consider adding your email address as a forum for any questions or concerns they may have regarding your business.
About This Feature Snippets are short lines of text that instruct our system to populate user-defined content into anywhere there is a snippet. This tool is particularly helpful for repetitive information or for newsletters that will be shared among multiple accounts.
How to Use This Feature From the top menu in your MyNewsletterBuilder account, mouse over "Newsletters" and select "Snippets" in the drop down menu. You will be taken to the Newsletter Snippets page. There you'll see the "Manage Snippets field, as well as a left side "Actions" menu that includes the option to create a new snippet.
If you have not created any snippets in your account, you will find three default items already installed. The stock snippets are customizable contact information fields, including #contact_data# (snippet that contains your photo and website), #contact_photo# (just your photo), and #contact_photo_HTML# (an HTML link to your contact photo).
Each snippet has already been linked to the information you used to set up your account, and will populate that information if inserted into a newsletter template.
[+] Edit Contact Info [+] Add or Edit SnippetBest Uses When creating content to be shared with multiple accounts, using snippets allows you to create a consistent look and format for the presentation of essential information, products, brand information and more. Including snippets for Name, Contact Information, and other important information will ensure that each of your sub-accounts presents their personal details in a uniform manner. You can also create product snippets to automatically populate product photos, prices, and links into your newsletters without having to recreate the presentation.

How to Use This Feature To get to branding, hover over "Tools" in the main menu and select "Branding". To customize, you can move through each section to create the look that best represents your brand.
[+] Add Graphics [+] Change Theme [+] Customize Your Color SchemeBest Uses Branding is essential anywhere on the internet. Conventional marketing wisdom tells us that a person will recognize your brand after 7 impressions. Your subscriber forms should at least contain the basics of your brand: logo and color scheme. Using different colors not associated with your brand may confuse and deter potential subscribers.
About This Feature
This feature enables you to create a customized subscription process for new subscribers to your email marketing campaigns. You can create forms, preview your forms, select email groups for your subscribers to join, restore default settings and choose whether or not to display tokens from this page. Select from a single-step sign-up process or a multi-step sign-up process.

How to Use This Feature
This feature is accessed by selecting "Subscribers" on the main menu, then clicking "Sign-up Builder." You can navigate through the options using the left side "Actions" menu. There are two types of forms to choose from. These are:
One-Step Form: creates a single sign-up form that collects all the information you need without further pages involved.
Multi-Step Form: incorporates a partial form as the initial sign-up form, and navigates the subscriber through a 3-step process hosted on MNB's servers. Please note: once you've created the form, you can customize (brand) the sign-up process.
[+] Create a One-Step Sign-up Form [+] Create a Multi-Step Sign-up FormBest Uses Using sign-up forms is the easiest hands-free way to gather new contacts &emdash meaning new leads. Short, single-step sign-up forms are often the easiest way to ensure subscriber follow-through. However, using buttons or text links present a more clutter-free method of directing people to your newsletter. Which ever you decide, make it sing with your brand and personality. If you create a multi-step form, we highly recommend proceeding directly to "Branding" (under "Tools")to ensure continuity in your branding.
About This Feature The confirmations system allows you to create a customized automated confirmation email to new subscribers. You will also be able to preview your newsletter and restore default settings from this page.
How to Use This Feature To access this feature, select "Subscribers" from the main menu and click on "Confirmations." This will take you to the Confirmation landing page.

This will take you to the Newsletter Scheduler page, where you will set up your newsletter to before hitting the final "send" button to turn your newsletter loose on the world.

That all starts when you click the send button. For email marketing best practices, its recommended that you only send emails to subscribers who have confirmed their subscription to your newsletter. If you have a social media presence, posting to Facebook is a great way to take advantage of a potentially new audience.
About this Feature The Enterprise tool allows users to create and share newsletters, templates, and media with a network of linked sub-accounts. Enterprise accounts are ideal for businesses with multiple branches, locations, or outlets who need to create uniform email content to be issued from multiple sources. Enterprise accounts are available as an upgrade to standard MyNewsletterBuilder accounts. Once you have subscribed to the Enterprise service, you will need to provide MNB's support team with a list of any MNB accounts that need to be added as sub-accounts. We will need approval from the sub-account holders as well. Once in place, you will be able to share content with all linked sub-accounts through the Enterprise menu.
How to Use this Feature On the main menu, hover over "Accounts" and select "Enterprise" to be directed to the on the Enterprise tab in the sub-menu at the top of your screen. This will take you to the Enterprise Account Services page, where you can review your account summary, search sub-accounts, manage sub-account groups, push, share, and send content.
[+] Summary [+] Search [+] Groups [+] Push [+] Send [+] ShareBest Uses The Enterprise account management system is ideal for franchised businesses, organizations with multiple locations, or affiliate programs. Enterprise accounts are great ways to create a uniform, branded message and still allow for personal or customized touches. Try building brand-centric newsletters in your master account to ensure essential content is presented the way you want, but leave room for each sub-account to add information relevant to their specific client base or network, such as regional news, contact information, or local specials.
About This Feature Once your newsletter is ready to go it's time to select your sending options. You have two: Smart Send and Manual Send. With Smart Send, you select the day you want to send and MNB sends the newsletter as soon as possible on that date. Manual send enables you to select the date and the specific time that your newsletter will send.
How to Use This Feature To access your sending options, hover over "Newsletters" in the main menu and select "View." In your list of newsletters, click "Send" next to the newsletter you wish to schedule. Once you are on the sending page, click on the drop down menu for "Method" under "Step 1: Scheduling Options" and choose either Smart Send or Manual Send.
[+] Smart Send [+] Manual SendBest Uses To get your newsletters out quickly, same-day Smart Send is your best option. This enables MNB to fit your newsletter into the sending queue as soon as possible. Smart Send usually sends shortly after midnight for newsletters scheduled a day or more in advance, so you do not need to schedule a time for those wee hour deliveries./br> There is some research indicating that arrival time matters in some email endeavors. For those who like to send their newsletters at certain times of day, Manual Send is a great way to ensure that your newsletters arrive with optimum timing.
About This Feature Just as you can create a list of all the subscribers who have opened your newsletters, you can also create a list of all the subscribers who have not opened your newsletters. This is an effective tool for locating and removing inactive subscribers from your list. To successfully complete this process, you'll need to know where files download to on your computer and should plan on renaming file downloads.
How to Use This Feature In order to create a list of subscribers who have not opened a newsletter in the past 6 months, you will first need to create a list of those who did open your newsletter. You can then use this list to create a new list, based off of your full subscriber list, which will consist only of inactive subscribers.
[+] Create a List of Subscribers Who Opened in the Last 6 Months[+] Create a List of All Subscribers
[+] Create "Did Not Open in Past 6 Months" list
Best Uses We normally suggest going back 6 months if you are looking to lower the size of your email list and remove subscribers that aren't quite as likely to open in the future. The general rule of thumb is that most subscribers who have not opened in 6 months are not likely to ever open again. You can go back more or less if you choose.
About This Feature You can view the number of opens for each newsletter you sent by navigating to "Reports". If you wish to create a list of all opens for the last three months, the following instructions will guide you in this process.
How to Use this Feature To create a list of subscribers who have opened an email at least once in the past three months, you will first make a new group, copy the list of subscribers who opened a newsletter, and then copy that report into your new group.
[+] How to make a list of opens for the last 3 monthsBest Uses Looking at your open report will give you a good idea of who is actually opening and reading your newsletter. This may inform future email marketing decisions, such as segmenting your efforts based on the degree of interaction you are seeing from your subscribers.
Note that you can use this process to check opens for any amount of time or for particular types of newsletters. For example, you could look at all of the opens for your sales newsletters and compare that to the open list for informational newsletters, etc.
About This Feature MNB allows users to integrate and move subscribers between accounts in several ways. In addition to transferring active subscribers, you probably want to consider using the same unsubscribe/suppression list from the original account. This tutorial will show you how to do both.
How to Use This Feature
[+] Export lists [+] Import the .csv files [+] Unsubscribe the suppression list from the new accountBest Uses Maintaining a clean sending list is really quite important - and let us just say - sending to unsubscribed parties is a terrible way to break in a new account! Not to mention, it makes quite the mess to clean up. By importing a suppression list you can be sure that you are only sending to interested parties.
About This Feature Picmonkey is one of the photo-editing services built into MNB Genie to allow you to edit images during newsletter creation. You can use PicMonkey to do everything from adjusting saturation and hue to adding textures, frames, overlays and effects. If you're using pictures of people, Picmonkey also has a very easy-to-use re-touch feature which will keep everybody looking their best.
How to Use this Feature You can access Picmonkey from the newsletter you are actively editing. To do this, click on the picture icon in the toolbar, or click an existing picture and then click on the picture icon in the toolbar to edit that specific picture. In the image options box, click on the "Edit Image" dropdown menu and select Picmonkey. The Picmonkey image editor will open up in a new window. If need help using Picmonkey you can visit their rockin' help center.
Best Uses Images can brighten up an email marketing newsletter and help to draw the reader's eye down the page. Every image you choose should represent you and your content well. Using photo-editing enables you to focus and enhance your pictures. You may find that images need to be altered to fit with your template theme. Using a photo-editor that plugs directly into your newsletter creation process is the most effective way to make and measure these alterations. Picmonkey shines in editing pictures of people - use this feature to add special effects, textures and frames and to retouch faces and bodies - we're talking blemishes, shadows and awkward posture, not glamour photography. We do not recommend photo-botoxing and liposuctioning your images.
About This Feature Pixlr is one of the photo-editing services built into MNB Genie to allow you to edit images during newsletter creation. You can use Pixlr to make simple adjustments to your images, add filters, or use the toolbar to edit your image hands-on. Note: Pixlr functions a lot like Photoshop, so if you are looking for those types of tools, Pixlr would be the appropriate choice.
How to Use This Feature You can access Pixlr from the newsletter you are actively editing. To do this, click on the picture icon in the tool bar, or click an existing picture and then click on the picture icon in the toolbar to edit that specific picture. In the image options box, click on the "Edit Image" dropdown menu and select Pixlr. The Pixlr image editor will open up in a new window. If need help using Pixlr, we highly recommend Pixlr's community-driven support page with Q&As and tutorials.
Best Uses Images can brighten up an email marketing newsletter and help to draw the reader's eye down the page. Every image you choose should represent you and your content well. Using photo editing tools enables you to focus and enhance your images. You can also create backgrounds and banners for your newsletter. You may find that images need to be altered to fit with your template theme. Using a photo-editor that plugs directly into your newsletter creation process is the most effective way to make and measure these alterations. Pixlr has amazing filters which allow you to quickly and dramatically alter images. You can also do all of your basic adjustments, as well as take advantage of the toolbar to add text, change colors and draw on or erase parts of images. We recommend that only those with a very steady hand pick up the pencil or eraser - or someone could lose an eye.
About This Feature Once your newsletter has been successfully processed, Reports is where you will go to see how well your campaign is performing. This area is home to your complete online email newsletter tracking statistics, which allows you to analyze your email marketing efforts and make adjustments accordingly. Utilizing and understanding these reports is essential to creating better and better newsletter campaigns.
How to Use This Feature Under "Reports" in the main menu, you can click on links that take you to Newsletters, Auto-Series or Activity pages.
- The Newsletter Report page will show you metrics for each newsletter sent. (More details below)
- The Auto-Series Report page will show you each Auto-Series you are running, the status of the series, your most recent and your upcoming send dates. You can click on any individual Auto-Series for further information.
- The Activity Report page will show a list of contact additions, updates and removals along with a status, start date, and finish date.
Best Uses The reports page is one of the most important areas of your account; it is where you gauge the success of your email marketing campaigns. If, for example, you can see that you are getting more positive reaction over time this shows that your newsletters are improving and are gaining more interest. Conversely, if you see that "opens" of your newsletters have been declining over time, you could identify if there is a change you implemented in the newsletters that your readers did not like, or perhaps you haven't been varied enough to keep interest. This information is essential to catering your newsletters to your target customers and/or fans, ensuring happy readers and a successful campaign.
About This Feature
Add to your safe senders list is a feature offered by most email providers, such as Gmail or Outlook. It enables you, the subscriber, to better ensure that your favorite emails reach your inbox. By taking this step, you are basically letting your email provider know that you want to receive emails from that particular email address. It also lets the provider know that the email is not spam and prevents them from placing the email in your spam folder.
How to Use This Feature
How you use this feature depends on your email provider. We've included instructions for the most popular services.
[+] AOL(8.0 & higher)
[+] Hotmail
[+] Yahoo
[+] Gmail
[+] MacMail
Best Uses
This feature is a great way to avoid having to sift through unsightly spam for those treasured newsletters that you signed up for.
About This Feature Emails that bounce have failed to arrive in an inbox for one of two reasons:
A hard bounce is the failed delivery of an email due to a permanent reason like a non-existent address. These bounces are automatically removed from your subscriber lists.
- A soft bounce is the failed delivery of an email due to a temporary issue, like a full mailbox or an unavailable server. This may also happen if an email server marks your email as spam. Soft bounces are particularly important to note because MNB will automatically attempt to resend to soft bounces. These bounces are not removed from your subscriber list unless you remove them.
How to Use This Feature Bounces are located on a newsletter report. To locate them, click on Reports --> Newsletter. Then look for the column titled "Bounces," these are listed for each newsletter that had bounces. No number is great news! If you have some numbers, don't worry - it happens to the best of us. The bounce report gives you some information as to why those newsletters didn't reach their destination - and what subscribers didn't get to read your riveting newsletter.
[+] View Bounces [+] Bounce DetailsBest Uses Keeping your email list clean is essential for optimum email deliverability. Your email reputation is what keeps your newsletters landing in inboxes rather than being filtered out as spam and sending emails to address that bounce will cause you to look suspiciously like a spammer. Besides, there's really no point in using up valuable time and emails sending to addresses where they'll never be seen or read.
Exporting your soft bounces makes it easy to compare to previous sends and remove bounces by uploading the bounce report to remove subscribers.
When it comes to removing email addresses that bounce it is best to go ahead and remove hard bounces immediately and compare soft bounces from month to month. Soft bounces that repeat for more than 2 or 3 months months can be removed. You can also view the soft bounce details and remove contacts based on this information.
About This Feature The auto-series reports page offers a look at the data generated by your email newsletter auto-series. Newsletter auto-series allow MNB users to create an set of newsletters that are automatically sent at predetermined intervals. The reports page keeps you up-to-date with the sending schedule and recipient data.
How to Use This Feature To find the auto-series reports page, click on "reports" in the top menu of your MyNewsletterBuilder account. You will be taken to the reports landing page. Now click on "auto-series" along the sub-header row and you'll be taken to the reports page listing all of the auto-series that you've created.
[+] ReportsBest Uses Use the auto-series reports page to track the reception of your ongoing series. If you notice a growing difference in the number of recipients versus the number of subscribers, head back to the "reports" main page to see a further breakdown of the data from each newsletter in your auto-series. An increase in "bounces" or a decrease in "opens" might mean it's time to reevaluate your sending schedule.
About This Feature The Unsubscribed (also "Unsubs") field is found within the reports section of MNB, available from the main navigation. This is the metric that shows you how many people unsubscribed to your newsletters via any individual newsletter sent out. This information allows you to see how well (or rather, not well) received your newsletters have been, as people will only unsubscribe if they feel they are being spammed or that the content is not relevant to them. This also allows you to see if any particular newsletters are causing people to unsubscribe.
How to Use This Feature To access this report feature, click on "reports" in the main menu. You will then see a listing of your sent newsletters, listed in chronological order, with the most recent at the top. For each newsletter sent, you will be able to see various metrics, including "Unsubs". You can click this number to go into the unsubscribed report. Once you are in the report, you can navigate through options using the "Actions" menu on the left side.
[+] Viewing the Unsubscribed Report [+] Go to Summary [+] Export ReportBest Uses This feature allows you to see who is unsubscribing from your newsletter. Pay attention to which newsletters lead to the most and the least unsubscribes. What was different about the successful newsletters? Did people unsubscribe immediately after viewing the newsletter, or did they take some time? You can then adjust your newsletter strategy accordingly. If you did not have many unsubscribes, and then suddenly begin to have a lot, what have you started doing differently? Are you sending out more newsletters than usual? If so, perhaps your readers are feeling spammed. Have you changed the way you are presenting your content? If so, perhaps your readers feel the content is no longer relevant to their interests. This sort of self-reflection will lead to better newsletters and a better future subscriber retention rate.
About This Feature The Subscribed (also "Subs") field is found within the reports section of MNB. This is the metric that shows you how many people subscribed to your newsletters via any individual newsletter sent out. This information allows you to see how well received your newsletters have been, as people will only subscribe if they like the content. This also allows you to see if any particular newsletter has more or less effect than others in getting new people to subscribe.
How to Use This Feature To access this report feature, click on "reports" in the main menu.

Pay attention to which newsletters gather the most and the least subscribers. What was different about the successful newsletters? Did people subscribe immediately after viewing the newsletter, or did they take some time? You can then adjust your newsletter strategy accordingly. Furthermore, with this feature, it is easy to gather together subscribers with similar interests into their own unique categories. If a newsletter garnered a ton of new subscribers, this would be a sign that whatever was covered in that newsletter was very interested to those people. You can use the Copy Subscribers option to then gather all of these users into a single category to target.
About This Feature Opens are located on a newsletter report. To locate them, click on Reports --> Newsletter. Then look for the column titled "Opens," these are listed for each sent newsletter that has been opened by at least one subscriber. This number indicates how many people opened your email.
How to Use This Feature Click on the number under the opens column in your newsletter report. This will take you to the "opened report," a more detailed analysis. On the opened report page, you will see the email addresses that have opened your newsletter and you will see how many times they opened your newsletter. You can navigate through more options using the "Actions" menu on the left side of the page. On the actions menu, you can view the newsletter summary, view subscriber data, copy subscribers or export the subscribers who opened your email. You can also click on a subscriber's email address to edit their subscriber information.
[+] Go to Summary [+] Subscriber Data [+] Copy Subscribers [+] Export ReportBest Uses This feature allows you to track which readers are most engaged with your newsletter. It also lets you see how your newsletters perform in relation to one another. If one newsletter received a large number of opens and another did not, you can compare what is different about them. Or, if one newsletter caused a group of readers to open it, you could save that group of recipients as a separate subscriber group and email them to reward their participation. The people that repeatedly open your newsletters are the audience you most want to focus your attention on.
About This Feature Complaints happen when recipients mark your email marketing campaigns as "spam." This is sent back to our system for monitoring. We take spam super seriously here - too many complaints (more than 1 per 1,000 emails)results in us freezing your account until we can chat with you.

People sometimes like to mark valid email marketing as spam.
How to Use This Feature First click on "Reports" in the top menu bar. You will then see a listing of your sent newsletters, listed in chronological order, with the most recently sent at top. For each newsletter sent, you will be able to see various metrics, "Comp" (Complaints) being one of these. Unlike some other metrics, we do not provide an email list of complainants. Complainers are automatically removed from your email subscriber list. As for whiners... we'll let you deal with that.
[+] Viewing the Complaints [+] Newsletter ReportsBest Uses This feature allows you to track what content is most effective in your newsletters. It keeps you out of hot water - or lets you know that you're going to be in hot water. It's a good indication that a webinar or training session may be in order.

Best Uses When it comes to convenience, there isn't much better than auto-series sending. You write the newsletters, line them up, then relax with a nice cup of tea. Some of the reasons a person might want to do such a thing (other than sheer pleasure, of course) include offering content that needs to be read from the beginning, having an ordered series of newsletters that you would like people to be able to start at any time, or having an introductory series of newsletters that starts after a specific purchase or interaction. You can also use auto-series to set up seasonal newsletters in advance and rest easy knowing you part is done and MNB will do the rest.
About This Feature This page lets you update existing subscriber information. Fill out a CSV (Comma Separated Value) file with the information you would like to update and submitting it. It's as easy as that!
How To Use This Feature
- Go to Subscribers on the main menu bar and select "Update" from the drop down menu.
- You will need to upload a CSV file with the correct column headings. We recommend downloading our CSV template, as it is pre-populated with the headings that our system recognizes. The download link is found at the top of the screen.
- Input the updated subscriber information in the CSV file and save the document, preserving the CSV format.
- Warning! To preserve existing subscriber data in the system, check the box next to "Ignore Blank Fields" on the Subscriber Update page. When this is not done, the system will overwrite your existing subscriber data with blanks. Nobody wants that.
- On the Subscriber Update page, click the "Browse" button to search for and select your CSV file.
- Finally, click "Upload File" when you are ready to upload. To check the progress of your upload, visit Reports → Activity.
Note: A CSV file is a spreadsheet that opens in Excel, Numbers, and similar spreadsheet programs. Your CSV file should have a heading row in the first row, and subscriber information listed as columns under each respective heading. The order and headings must be formatted precisely. Again, we highly recommend downloading the CSV template to use as a guide. This is located on the Add Subscribers page. It's just easier that way.
Best Uses There are many reasons why you might need to update subscriber information. Perhaps a company you email has new email addresses or several of your contacts have recently updated their mailing address with you. Keeping subscriber information accurate and up to date is an important part of list hygiene (read: it helps keeps your email out of the spam folder). It's easy if you follow the directions above. As always, feel free to contact support if you need help.
About This Feature MNB offers three options for adding subscribers to your account. This feature is vital to growing your email list successfully. Adding new subscribers can be done in large batches or a few at a time.
How To Use This Feature From the main menu, select "Subscribers," then click "Add." Under Step 1, select the subscriber groups) you want to add contacts to and use one of the following functions from Step 2:
[+] Quick Add [+] Form Add [+] Upload Detailed FileBest Uses
Choose the update method that is best for your purposes. If you have a long list of email addresses without any additional subscriber details, the easiest thing to do is copy and paste your entire list into the "Quick Add" box. If you have spreadsheet with email address with subscriber information included, uploading a CSV file is a more efficient option. If you only have a few contacts with details to add to your list, or you want to upload vCards, adding via "Form Add" and entering their subscriber information is the preferable route.
Fun Fact: MyNewsletterBuilder (MNB) automatically removes duplicate addresses from the same subscriber category. Upload subscribers to multiple groups, and send confidently, knowing that subscribers will not receive multiple copies of duplicate addresses automatically.
About This Feature The Groups page lets you view, add, and edit subscriber categories. These categories are your different mailing groups. There is no limit on how many subscriber groups can be in an account. Subscribers must be in a group in order for you to send to them. A single subscriber can be in multiple groups at a time, and will only count toward the subscriber quota once. They will also only receive newsletters once when you send to multiple groups.
How to Use This Feature Click "Subscribers" on the Main Menu. Select "Groups." Use this feature to access, edit, create, and export subscriber groups.
[+] Exporting Groups [+] Adding a Group [+] Manage Your Groups[+] Make Edits to Groups

Having multiple subscriber groups helps to better focus your email marketing efforts, sending relevant content to those who are the most suited to receive it.
You can download the results of clicks or opens from one campaign and create a new subscriber list by uploading the downloaded CSV file into a new or existing subscriber group.

The product Purmelt is a reactive polyurethane hotmelt. As a result of its prepolymers, it is moisture curing. PU hotmelts are used today in a broad range of industrial sectors.
Performance of various adhesives systems for perfect binding
Requirement Dispersion Hotmelt EVA-based Hotmelt PU-based Adhesion +++ ++ ++++(+) Cold resistance ++ (+) ++++(+) Heat resistance +++ + ++++(+) Curing speed + ++++ +++(+) Aging ++++ ++ ++++ Resistance to oils +++ (+) ++++ Cuttability + +++ ++ Roundability +++ +++ +++(+) Processability +++ +++ +++
The graphic arts industry also has challenging applications for this type of adhesive. Whatever the application – perfect binding, gluing off thread-stitched or thread-sealed books, side gluing or endpapering – Purmelt meets all the requirements and ensures optimum results in terms of pot life, fast curing and maximum initial tack.
This new generation of adhesives is distinguished particularly by its tremendous adhesion to a multitude of different paper types and various other materials. With a coat thickness of only 0.3 to 0.6 mm, they differ noticeably from conventional adhesives systems. Depending on air humidity and paper moisture, 50 to 80 percent of ultimate bond strength can be achieved after only about 6 hours. Final curing takes a maximum of 24 hours.
After reaction, the Purmelt film displays high flexibility at both high and low temperatures. Brochures bound with Purmelt show no loss of quality at temperatures up to 120°C and remain elastic rather than becoming brittle even down to temperatures as low as minus 40°C.
Purmelt has already made inroads into the hard cover sector as well. The adhesive is still roundable for a definable period after perfect binding/gluing off with Purmelt. Even after final curing, the book spine permanently retains the desired rounded shape thanks to Purmelt's physical properties.
After final curing, Purmelt is absolutely immune to the migration of mineral oils from the printing inks. This yields considerable benefits in the converting of papers printed in the sheet-fed offset process.
The recycling process also benefits from the extreme hardness of Purmelt, as it can be filtered with ease during paper recovery. Entrainment in the paper is excluded, thus eliminating the risk of stickies.
Purmelt Dual Cure
Henkel's patented Purmelt Dual Cure system allows for in-line binding of edition bound books. This revolutionary product offers a dramatic improvement upon the standard 24-36 hour crosslink and cure rate of standard Polyurethane based hot-melt. With Dual Care, when adhesives are applied to perfect bound books, and exposed to UV lamps, the crosslinking process begins immediately, and 80 % cure level is achieved in approximately 3 minutes.
Purmelt Micro Emission
Purmelt Quality + Henkel Responsible Care = MicroEmission
Although Henkel achieves high standards with its existing products and occupational health and safety instructions, Purmelt MicroEmission represents the only sustainable solution to the problem – with a massive reduction in monomeric isocyanate. No labeling as hazardous materials is required. Product quality and the resultant economy for the user remain at the high standard for which Henkel is renowned. Purmelt MicroEmission delivers full adhesive performance. Together we can push the technical standard of occupational health and environmental protection to a higher level.
