I'm afraid there's no such thing as a "best converting email subject line".
Well, at least this is a very broad question and needs some context.
Who are you sending an email to?
– Influencers?
– Your own email subscribers?
– A "cold" list that you've purchased from someone?
Every case is different. And there's no single subject line that would work everywhere.
But here are some lessons I've learned:
#1 Write the kind of email subject that you would use to email your friend.
Just think about it.
How would you email your friend? What subject would you use?
"Important Information About The Coat That You Have Left At My House"
"your coat"
I think the answer is obvious.
You would use a short and very descriptive email subject in lowercase letters.
So why don't you email other people like that?
#2 Make it as personal, as possible.
I have an article on my blog, where I talk about sending an outreach email to Rand Fishkin.
To make sure my email would not go to trash I used a subject line that would immediately hint him that this email is personalised. That it's not just a template that I'm sending to 99 more people.
So whenever you're trying to reach influential people – try to be as personalised as possible. They get hundreds of "templated" email outreach emails daily and I'm sure most of them don't even get opened.
#3 Can't make it personal? Make it relevant!
When reaching out to influencers it's always better to refrain from mass mail and follow the personalised approach.
But when sending an email update to your own list of subscribers, you can't get personal with each of them.
So you should at least try to make it relevant for them.
– Who are your subscribers?
– Why did they join your email list in the first place?
– What are they expecting from you?
– What are their pain points?
– How can you be valuable to them?
Once you answer all this questions – you'll be able to come up with great subject lines that would easily hook them.

You are probably not testing your subject line in your emails…
because you are uncomfortable.
Nah, who are we kidding?
You are AFRAID!
What if people WON`T open your emails, or even WORSE…
unsubscribe (yeah, I said it).
You want to know a funny thing?
You have to make sacrifices in the short-term in order to get long-term reward.
Yeah, while your are in testing mode some people might not open your emails and some people might even unsubscribe.
So what?
Too bad for them. They weren`t a part of your tribe after all.
And you want to know a secret?
If you scared them off by testing a subject line, they would probably never become one of your raving fans anyway.
The good thing?
If you were to test subject lines on your emails and managed to increase open rate with 10%, that could have major impact for your business. Let`s say that you have a 1% conversion rate on your sales emails (just for the sake of simplicity).
In the future when you have 100 000 subscribers, 10% increased open rate will mean 10 000 MORE people opened your email.
10 000 more people opening your email with 1% conversion rate is…
100 more sales!
If you sold a $100 product that would result in $10 000 more in sales!
Have those numbers in mind the next time you are afraid to test out your subject lines.
My best subject line so far is: "I got a surprise for you…"
Here are my 3 lessons I`ve learned from testing multiple subject lines:
– What you think might work, most likely won`t work (and the other way around)
– You have to detach your emotions when you are testing
– The only way to improve conversion is to test, test and test"

My top performing subject line in the last three years was this…
How To Improve Your Google Rankings In 5 Minutes
A very close second was this headline…
131 Words That Increase Website Traffic
and the top #3 lessons you've learned testing multiple subject lines
After eight years of email marketing, here are a few lessons I've learning about writing subjects lines:
1. Prescriptive headlines work best
If the subscriber sees that there is some specific benefit, that they will be able to take and apply as if it was a prescription, they'll be far more likely to click.
For the subscriber, it's all about ROI. They want to know what return (practical information) they'll get for their investment (2 minutes of their time).
2. They don't have to be the same as the article headline
A "headline" can be many things, a subject line, a title tag, header text, a social media post, etc. So headlines can (and should) be tailored to their purpose.
You don't want the reader to lose the "information scent" so don't change them too much, but it usually makes sense to change them to suit the purpose.
Subject lines have nothing to do with search engine ranking factors, so drop the keywords and focus on psychology.
3. The subject line is the first link in a long chain
And that chain may have other weak links. The purpose of the subject is to get the open… Once opened, the purpose of the teaser text in the email is to get the click…
Once clicked, the purpose of the headline on the landing page is the get the reader to move down the page…
The best subject line in the world won't help you if you have a weak link farther down the chain. Follow the path through to the end, finding and eliminating any friction or confusion.

~ Creating websites that get you customers. That's right, I don't just make stunning websites. SEO, Content, WordPress are friends!.
The best subject line I have used was based on a popular blog post on Mad Lemmings (my bog). The subject line was:
Multiply Your Email Subscribers Like Rabbits (with this simple trick)
I have tried a variety of subject lines in weekly blog emails, and also in email campaigns and this was one of the best.
What did I learn from this email subject?
1. I find that something surprising or humorous tends to get attention when people have so many boring emails coming into their inbox every day. Sure, my humor is a bit strange, but would you open an email that involved rabbits? Most people did.
2. Another thing that I think gets people to open an email is the promise of something useful or actionable. And this subject line delivers on both of those. It tells the reader that they could increase their email list fast (like rabbits).
Worth opening, right?
3. The last lesson I learned from this email was that adding a small extra bit at the end (in this case – "with one simple trick") can have a huge effect.
After getting the reader's attention with humor, telling them what they will learn, I finish by telling them it is done with just a simple trick. Too good to turn down!
Of course, it is never as simple as copying what has worked from someone else and repeating it.
You have to take the lessons above and try them on your audience and with your content and see if it works. It might not. So keep testing, and learning from what kinds of things people react to.

When testing multiple subject lines, I can't stress enough how important it is to test different variations.
Typically, subject lines that focus on highlighting a problem and a solution perform very well so don't overlook those.
When testing different subject lines, I also find that a simple subject line performs best.
If you have figures such as "10 Ways…" or "How X company increased their traffic by 20x…," those also tend to be well-received.
Lastly, don't be afraid to keep testing. If you find you get a better open-rate from one email to another, review your emails regularly and keep working that angle until it doesn't work anymore.
And if you really want more information, reach out to some of the people on your email list and ask them why they opened your email.
This will help give you additional insight into the email subject lines you should keep using and why.

~ As marketing director I shape and evolve the LCN.com marketing strategy to help introduce new customers to a brand I am extremely proud of.
Breaking through the noise within the inbox has become a huge challenge over the past few years due to the massive amount of information we're presented with as individuals.
We're exposed to hundreds of posts from friends, groups, brands, communities, etc. on various social networks, as well as the usual plethora of advertisements we're seeing on more traditional mediums each day.
Although each newsletter and email announcement we send to our customers is highly targeted, we have seen considerable success when using relevant emojis within subject lines.
I use the term "relevant" as the use of emojis has to be appropriate to both the audience and the message you're communicating.
We've achieved considerably higher open rates when taking this approach, and increased CTRs when the theme of the newsletter is consistent to that of the subject line (including design elements relevant to the type of images used within the subject line).
Optimised preview text is another specific area of email marketing where we've seen considerable success when testing multiple subject lines.
The preview text needs to a draw readers' attention to key points of a message and has helped us to greatly increase our open rates.
Used in conjunction with short and eye-catching subject lines, well-structured preview text can offer considerable value to the reader.

~ I've been making a full-time income with niche sites since 2013.
My best converting email subject line was "Uh oh… I almost forgot to send this to you." It was for an outreach campaign for one of my sites, essentially asking for a share for a piece of content… and it worked surprisingly well.
Three lessons I learned from testing subject lines:
1. Using unconventional words, and "keeping it casual" is a lot more effective than being professional.
You want someone to share a piece of content? Using a subject line like "You have to see this…" works better for me than something like "Here's something you can share with your audience."
2. If you know their name, just a simple "Hey name" in the subject line works very well. If anyone emails me with the subject line "Hey Chris" I'm usually opening it everytime.
Spammers usually don't email me with a subject line like that. Only people who know me do.
3. A subject line in all lower case letters doesn't improve open rates. At least for my tests it didn't.
My test size was small, but it actually led to a decrease in open rates. This isn't a do-or die piece of advice, but still noteworthy as I see a lot of people talking about it these days.
Chris Makara
~ Interactive Marketing & Digital Strategist. Skilled in
#SEO, #SocialMedia & #InteractiveMarketing.
It's no secret that subject lines have the biggest impact on setting the foundation for a successful email campaign. With everyone's inbox jammed packed of new emails, it's important to get the most out of your subject line.
On a recent outreach campaign, I used the subject line "Quick Question About Social Media Management" and it received an excellent reply rate.
In this initiative, I was not after a sale but instead looking for participants in an expert round up.
The reason this worked so well is that it let the person know exactly what the message entailed as well as the brevity of it. They knew it was going to be quick (which it was) and also knew exactly what it was going to be about.
When they opened the email, it delivered on exactly what the subject line had promised. I had no problems getting over 100 experts to respond.
Through the years, I have learned many things through testing subject lines. My top 3 lessons learned (and still learning) are:
1. Be direct
There's no sense fluffing up your subject lines with extra text or try to get too creative. You need to get to the point.
So I have found it best to remove as much irrelevant text as I can in order to provide a direct, concise message.
2. Be timely
Some of the best results have come from sending the right message at the right time. While this doesn't necessarily have to do with the subject line, the subject line can enhance/introduce the timeliness aspect of the message and generate more opens.
3. Be consistent
No one likes to feel like they have been duped. Therefore, your subject line should reflect what the email will contain.
Don't write subject lines that don't line up with the content just to generate higher open rates.
What good is a high open rate if no one is going to take action on the content inside the email?
Colin Klinkert
~ Full-time online business owner, investor, marketer and entrepreneur.
I will be honest with you… These are not my best converting email subject lines (got a couple I know only work well with my type of list), but they are nonetheless very good ones that helped me generate a lot of traffic and make a lot of sales.
Important note, these were sent to different lists of mine, for different reasons. Some of my lists are more active than the ones used below, so you need to do your own testing, but the ones I chose to show you are ones that can work in most niches.
A subject line as simple as "This is Hard to Believe…" (13.85% open rate) can be very effective.
Of course, you can't use this subject line in all situations, but if you can, you should give it a try.
It's hard for most people to resist. What's hard to believe? A lot of people are naturally curious.
Another good one is "Please keep this to yourself…" (13.43%) What's the secret? Even if it's something people don't care about, a lot of them would at least want to know what it is, and open the email… A decent alternative is: "This must be kept a secret…" (10.87%).
Descriptive subject lines can also be very effective: like "How to Build … in 30 Minutes or Less" (28.14%) and "Why … Matter & How to Get More" (23.92%). I also like to use scarcity: "Last Chance (Seriously)…" (35.50%), "Closing…" (20.32%) but then again it depends on the situation.
Sometimes funny subject lines work quite well, like "Bigger Than Kim Kardashian's… ;)" (13.56%). As you can see from above, Scarcity types really work (over 35% and over 20% open rates on a big list is quite good).
I would say that most of my best converting subject lines are quite short. I've become a big fan of short subject lines… The kind of subject lines that go straight to the point and have just one goal: make the recipient open the email.
Using the subject line as an introduction to the email is nice, but it doesn't guarantee a high open rate. The best ones are often the ones that create interest. Talk about secrets, good (or bad) news, etc.
Things that make people think: what is this?
Finally, I would say that it's quite important to think outside the box. People receive so many emails every day… You need to be creative.
Easier said than done, but if your subject lines are boring, people will never open your emails, which would then turn into a big waste of time (and money).
You should always dedicate some time to the subject line every time you draft an email.

I got the best open rates from these 3 techniques.
1. Anything that's Relevant and FREE
Eg. Test out our Free Schema Plugin
I test 3 subject lines per send out and using the Free method worked significantly better.
2. The Promise of Something Quick – Instant Gratification
Eg. Ain't No Joke – Just a Quick Promo Tip
I promised something quick and it got opened immediately. Out performed other "tip" related titles I sent out.
3. Being Personal and Making Them Expect Something
Eg. I've always wanted an SEO Checklist…
Expectation is a powerful thing when harnessed correctly. This was a simple test. I pitted it against a title based on the Relevant and Free technique and this version performed equally.
Other lessons:
- Longer subject lines should start with something intriguing or it will not work at all.
- Questions are a hit or miss. Make it intriguing and not sound like a robot.
- Using symbols do increase the open rates but never overdo it.

To this date my best converting subject line has been "Much goodies for you!" It was pretty puzzling at first, but after testing hundreds of email subject lines, I think I found a fbew important takeaways:
1. Never be too serious.
Email sucks. I don't know a single person that gets up in the morning and says to themselves "Oh boy, I can't wait to check my inbox today!"
It's a necessary evil for most people. So the last thing they need is another boring marketing headline. Try to bring some levity into it and leave the marketing talk in the dark corner it crawled out from.
2. Talk like a real person.
In my most successful subject lines, I kept the subject line casual and in sentence case (rather than title case where every first letter of each word is capitalized). This feels more organic and human made rather than polished and machined.
3. Make it about them.
The person opening this email needs to know instantly that they're getting something out of it. Remember everyone's favorite radio station?
It's WIIFM (What's In It For Me) and your subject line needs to communicate, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this email is all about them.

When it comes to converting email subject lines I think Dan Kennedy's method is the best:
Dan Kennedy's P.A.S. is what I consider to be the most reliable sales formula ever created.
You can typically use this for almost anything:
Problem – Present the problem your prospect feels
Agitation – Poke at that problem until it's visceral
Solution – Present your solution to the agitated problem
1. You've probably never tried these (enter problem)
2. The #1 reason why (enter problem)
3. You're going to regret this if you miss this deal (convert to P.A.S)
You can check out more here on the classic way P.A.S. is created.
The top #3 lessons I've learned testing multiple subject lines:
Lesson #1: It does not matter how often you test your subject lines but if you don't provide value, then you are going to lose your subscribers.
Lesson#2: Sometimes it pays not to be too serious, inject humor in your subject lines to make it more authentic.
Lesson #3: Invest in the curiosity of your market, you are already asking for their time so you might as well make it worth it.

~ Founder of Niche Site Project, helping people create & monetize niche websites
The highest converting subject line for me is "Sold for $10K" which outlines the story for selling a niche website. I considered a conversion to be a click-through to the blog post in this case.
The open rate was 43.7% and the click-through rate was 30.3%. I think it worked well because there was a dollar amount listed.
Lesson #1: Use brackets and dashes.
Anytime I have added a bracket or dash the open rate and click-through rate is higher. Sometimes it is only a minor improvement but that counts.
Lesson #2: Use a number, especial a dollar amount.
People like to see numbers for some reason, and they like dollar amounts even more. If you can be very specific and mention the exact figure, like $10,479, that is even better.
I don't know why I didn't use the exact figure that day or split test it.
Lesson #3: Leave an open loop.
You want the reader to wonder about what's in the email. The subject line above says that something has been sold, but I don't say what.
The reader certainly has an idea and is speculating in his or her mind about what it could be. They almost certainly figure it out and when they open the email, they confirm their thoughts.
Lastly, you should build a swipe file for subject lines – when you see a great subject line or headline, make note of it. Then you can refer to the list in your swipe file for ideas.

~ Inbound marketing nerd and well, that's all.
For us, it's not exactly a subject line but rather a prefix in bracket that educates our customers and stands out in the inbox.
For example for new blog posts we use the bracket [NEW POST] , for limited time offer we use [LIMITED TIME OFFER]
What we have found out is that while some more intrigue based subject lines get more open, in the end, these tend to have low CTR to the offer or low conversion rate.
The bracket system allows us to stand out in the inbox and get a fair open rate while pre framing people for what is in the email and drastically increasing the conversion rate we send to our landing page.
Another thing we learned from testing multiple subject lines is that subject lines that are not capitalised and written like casual emails tend to get much more opens these days.
So for example, instead of writing:
Here Is What 40 Experts Learned About Email Marketing, I will use:
here is what 40 experts learned about email marketing…
The fact that I don't capitalise tends to actually increase the open rate because the email stands out against everyone's capitalised subject line.
This works especially well if you combine this with tactics to get people to reply to your emails (because people who reply to your emails then have your emails land in their primary inbox).

Best converting subject line:
How to Improve Search Engine Rankings with Relevant Content
Lessons learned:
1) The quicker we get to the pain point in the subject line the better our open rate.
We try to make sure we do this in the first 2-3 words of a subject line, and carry this theory through every post as well to make sure the reader knows what they will get as fast as possible.
2) Our open rate improves the more actionable a subject line. Shock value and fluff doesn't distinguish us enough from the pack.
3) Sticking with subject lines that use the five W's and one H has been the best way for us to accomplish lesson 1 and lesson 2.

~ I teach others how to build profitable authority sites
In my experience, I get both highest open rates and most sales when there's a 4 to 5 figure dollar amount per month in the subject line along with some indication of how to generate that income.
I'd be happy to give an example from my most opened email in the sequence:
$10,000/Mo. in 60 Days (No Joke). This has a 44% open rate.
This conversion concept applies to my automated sequence emails along with broadcast emails.
I restrict this method to occasionally and ensure the content, whether email message and/or product being promoted is top-notch and based on real results (not theory).

~ Husband, father, engineer, sports fan and huge geek when it to comes to automating and outsourcing his activity.
One of my best-converting subject lines was discovered accidently and as such revealed some interesting insights…
Subject Line – "Insert Subject Line Here"
Result – No change from my lists open rate of 60%
While I have many other lists most of which don't get the open rate and click-through rate for this larger lists where I made the mistake of not inserting a subject line.
Lesson 1 – The factor that most influences if an email is opened is first WHO is sending and the previous relationship established with that person.
Lesson 2 – I tried this subject line as a test on other email lists with a worse historical open rate and my open rate went down from the average.
Meaning if you have a good relationship with your audience your subject line has less influence on the open rate.
However, if you have a poor relationship with your list then your subject line does matter.
This does "dodge" your question but it was an interesting finding that I thought would be worth adding to your list of response.

Here are my top 3 e-mail marketing lessons:
1. Make the headlines PERSONAL to YOUR audience…
2. Start a story in the subject line your audience will want to hear the end of…
3. Don't trick your audience into opening…that will only work once 🙂
Overall, YOU know your audience, speak directly to them and treat the relationship you are building as a marathon…not a sprint!

~ Email marketing consultant | Columnist | Customer Philosopher | Aspiring Stand up
Here are my lessons in subject line testing:
* Make more variants. As a rule of the thumb only 1 in 10 variants brings a real killer lift so if you only do 2 variants (let's call them A and B) you are missing out on a lot of potential improvements.
* Don't test for opens only, or count unsubscribes or bounces when determining the winner. That is just silly, but I have seen it happen often enough.
* The less testing you do to achieve your goals, the better! So start with the tests that have high potential and the ones where you can re-use the outcomes.
Here are some more great email testing lessons.

We send out a lot of emails. Couple of key learnings:
1) Try sending from people instead of "no-reply@" emails. For example, have an email come from your company CEO or Founder and see how that works vs. the generic no-reply emails.
We've found that people are more likely to engage with people.
2) Try conversational subject lines. One of our best email open rates has a subject line of "quick question".
3) In addition to sending out emails the old fashion way, use Gmail sponsored promotions (sponsored emails in Gmail) and target them using customer match (i.e. people's email accounts).
Actually, it's a lot easier to test out lots of different email subject lines using sponsored emails than actually sending out organic emails.
Matthew Barby
~ Global Head of Growth & SEO @HubSpot, award winning blogger, industry speaker and lecturer @DMIgroup.
Top Subject Line: "A gift from me to you."
One of the big things that I've found from testing subject lines is that the more personal and emotive the subject line, the better.
By that I don't just mean placing their name in the subject, but more playing to their specific wants/needs.
I try to keep my subject lines short and straight to the point. They're typically around 5-7 words in length and I've found this to work much better than longer subject lines.
Finally, try to think about how you can set the expectation for the content within your email.
Test a variety of subject lines within your campaigns, along with a variety of intro sentences (don't underestimate the power of this section either.
The last thing you want to do is spend all this time building your email list and end up with a ton of unsubscribes and low engagement rates.

~ Author of http://OnBlastBlog.com . Here to help guide and inspire bloggers (and those who have yet to become one!)
I wouldn't say that I have a "best converting" email subject line, because I'm always testing new ones and comparing them versus others.
A few lessons learned from testing multiple subject lines:
– Relevancy matters (spend time emailing the right people, instead of just focusing on a 'click bait' subject line – if it's important and relevant to the recipient, they'll open the email regardless of whats in the subject line)
– Providing value in the subject is crucial (its critical to highlight how opening that email will benefit the recipient)
– The simpler, the better (short, sweet and to the point is the most effective. Long, convoluted and complicated subject lines just leaves everyone confused as to what you're really trying to do)

We have a team that does a lot of prospecting but the structure can be extrapolated across any email you ever make.
{Name of business owner} there are some {critical|severe} {problems|errors} with {insert website}
The name makes it personalized and more likely to catch their eye. Critical (split test severe) is an adjective that increases the urgency of the headline.
Problems (split test with errors) carries a heavy negative connotation and thus increases the urgency of them opening the email.
Inserting the website allows for additional personalizing and thus you have a hyper targeted, personalized message that appears urgent and needs to be opened.
My first lesson learned and advice that everyone who will ever write an email should follow is not to reinvent the wheel.
There is a lot of psychology that comes into crafting headlines and also metrics which a headline can't overcome, (how engaged is your audience, do you deliver a lot of value in your emails, etc.) but analyzing what other people are doing can really help take your game to the next level.
Matt wrote an awesome post on this explaining how to pick the best people to emulate and he gives away over 500 of them here…
Under promise and over deliver. This is a virtue that I strive to implement in all areas of my business, not just email headlines, but if you have an insanely hyped up headline then make sure you deliver the goods.
Don't be afraid to hire a pro. If you are putting together an email sequence for a product or service and you really want the best results, hire someone who specializes in creating high converting email sequences.

~ Niche blogger. Affiliate marketer
My favorite converting email line is – "Hey".
1. Select a crisp but short subject line – The subject line has significant influence. Select a line that is a cross between a teaser and information, but not too long (50 characters max.).
2. Be personal – E-mail newsletters are often not successful because the sender sends out information to an anonymous audience.
As a user you do not want to be bombarded with advertising or be a part of a newsletter subscribers list that sends out ads all the time.
Therefore, write a newsletter to not just a group of subscribers but to a person.
3. Present relevant information – Newsletter mails are a great content marketing tool.
Analyze what blog posts have received the most clicks in the past month and place the three of the most popular posts in your newsletter.

"Sorry, I goofed"
and the top #3 lessons I've learned testing multiple subject lines
1. "Free" is the best word in the world for my audience. If I put that in the subject line the open rates are always higher.
2. "New" and "Latest" always work very well. (Sorry, this may not be earth-shattering but often it's the obvious, simple things that we all miss).
3. "{!firstname_fix}" – OK, not that exactly, but using the first name in the subject line works better than when you don't have it.
So, what can we deduce from this? People like Free stuff, New things and they like to be called by their first name. 🙂

My top performing email subject line to date:
"Get 61% more email opens in 1 minute"
This subject line had a 56% open rate, about double my average. It also had a 13% click through rate and drive a nice stream of affiliate revenue.
Lessons learned:
I've learned that top performing subject lines have one of the following elements:
- Urgency/scarcity
- Curiosity
- Offer
- Self-interest
- Social proof
- Story/case study
Three in particular have worked well for me…
1. Create an information gap with curiosity
For example: This WordPress plugin increased email signups 353% (overnight)
The subject line opens a loop that your audience will want to close by checking out the email.
2. Quantify results
For example: 21 tactics that generated 19,011 social shares (without spending a penny)
It's a case study that shows people how to get serious results without pulling out their wallet.
For example: Get 61% more email opens in 1 minute
The subscriber will realize benefit in the subject line, plus it seems bite-sized. People love things that are actionable and deliver quick results.
3. Use a case study/ story
For example: How Share As Image increased blog traffic 70% in 4 months.

#2 Readers want resources which expose them to more successful folks, to build their networks.
#3 Big numbers may just mean big clicks. Folks dig some major league value, and appreciate seeing the lead in to that value through the subject line.

~ I build web experiences. Then, I market the SH!T outta them. MBA. [http://ryanwashere.com ].
I actually want to go out on a limb here and say that subject lines aren't as important as marketers think.
The fact is there are so many other variables that do in to what makes a person open an email that subject lines are somewhat insignificant.
Personally, as opposed to optimizing individual subject lines, I prefer to look at who we're targeting for our list and what type of value we're providing them.
If we're consistently building a list of interested people and sending them good, relevant emails on a well timed basis, they'll open anything.
With that being said, I like to focus the subject matter on the benefit of the email to the reader.
If you try and over optimize every headline you'll run into the boy who cried wolf situation where no one will open your emails again (i.e. "This is the Sale of the Century", when it's really just a weekly sale).
Panos Melissaropoulos
~ Moosend ' s Co-Founder and Business Development Director.
That's a very interesting and challenging question: Every email has its own story. However, there are some stories better than others.
The best converting email subject line according to our statistics was sent by an e-commerce shop on May 2013.
The subject line was humane, laconic, simple, with a touch of mystery: "An apology and a gift!"
This subject line accompanied an email that was sent half an hour after the ordinary dispatch of a campaign that contained a mispriced product.
Our client apologised for the mistake to his subscribers and in the same time he promised them a present.
This movement really sky-rocketed the open rate! The end-user was essentially thinking: "They made a mistake, now they apologise and they have a present for me!
Let's open the newsletter to see what's happening!" The mailing list of our client consisted of 250,000 subscribers. The open rate on this specific email was up to 40%, double than usual.
The top 3 lessons we came across are the following:
1. Personalisation
Personalising the subject line by inserting the first name leads to higher open rates. On average, across all industries, unique open rates increase by 26% when subject lines are personalised.
The end-user has the feeling that this email addresses him directly, feels more comfortable and engaged with the communication.
Personalisation can also take place by inserting the home city of the subscriber or any other personal information that we have that can become handy and match with the content.
2. Keep it short
The length is important! The rule of thumb is that the subject line shouldn't be longer than 50 characters. This can appear to be a magic number in terms of open rates.
Having said that, for clients that are targeting iOS users it is highly recommended to use subject lines up to 35 characters, on account of the fact that the iOS shows 3 dots after that threshold.
What we keep in mind is that the subject line needs to attract attention and in the same time be short and consistent.
3. Avoid spammy words
There are words and then there are words: After all, words are what writing is all about. The usage of specific words in your subject line and in your content can condemn your email to land in the junk folder.
Words like "urgent", "desperate", "please help", "Free spins" or "Hot women/men" have a negative impact.
These words are detected as spammy by email clients and have the opposite effect than your good intentions.
Stuart Walker
~ Niche marketing blogger. I publish niche markets, epic tutorials, done for you niche research reports, and more hot content.
My biggest lessons from email marketing and testing headlines are…
1. Scarcity works a lot so use it. Giving people final warnings and last chances gets them opening.
2. Negative / fear based headlines work, i.e. "bad news". "final warning".
3. Using emoticons in your headline increases open rate. I've been testing this recently with great success.
4. Curiosity works well. Make them intigued to find out what's inside by being vague or at least not making it clear what they will find.
5. Focus less on open rate and more on click rate…or more importantly who converts, it's the most important thing. Open rate uis just a vanity metric and not that important.
People taking action / converting is what's important. Sometimes getting less people to open but more of the RIGHT people works best.
My recent best converting subject line was simple "Bad news."
I use it regularly to convey scarcity and give final warnings about prodiucts going offline or deals ending.
I write a lot about how to write high converting emails here.
Take email marketing to the next level!
You've read how these experienced email marketers are testing multiple subject lines in their business. All you have to do is take their examples to the bank and profit in your own ventures.
Once you start creating your own subject lines you too can see your open rates boost like never before.
I hope you enjoyed the expert insights so onto this note, I wanted to thank you and the marketers involved to help create the article and spread awareness about it. You make the hard work count.

Of Straight Razors and Demon Barbers.Monday, May 25th, 2009
You know I have never really been a fan of straight razors. Don't really know why. Apart from those rare occasions when they are ground into claws, brazed to copper pipes and attached to the fingers of leather work gloves, they just never really appeal to me. Normally, I find such evil and dangerous implements fascinating.
And straight razors are indeed evil. Unintentionally evil, grant you, but evil nonetheless. They are one of the few, relatively large, non surgical blades whose edge geometry is specifically designed to allow them to hold one of the keenest edges known to man. Even at the cost of strength. But in spite of my being intellectually aware of this, they just don't *look* the part. Yes, they usually do have a little flair, but for the most part I find them waaaay to functional looking.
They are almost like box cutters to me. Equally dangerous, but they just don't carry an aesthetic that evokes that primal awe that so many other blade designs do. Now I bring this up not for idle chitchat, but rather because I had occasion to analyze my thoughts about such a razor. Specifically a replica of the razor used by Johnny Depps character Sweeny Todd in the movie "Sweeny Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.":
Now this is a nice looking razor. I'm not saying it isn't. The thing is, it just doesn't speak to me. I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know if there is any real significance to it, but on the surface, it looks to me like the miniature equivalent of a machete. Just like any other razor. All go, no show. Well maybe a little show. But not quite enough show.
The funny thing is that, shortly after Sweeney Todd came out, having been glamorized by the movie, there was a sudden surge of custom straight razors on the market. Here's another example I found somewhat more attractive:
Arguably a much more modern design approach to the straight razor, and it certainly looks the part.. Black micarta scales with beautiful shiny accents, all rising up into what looks like it's gonna be a sweet looking blade, and then… disappointment. It still looks like a folder horribly abused. So horribly mutilated that the doctor recommended that the tip be amputated. Sigh.
Here's an arguably more cutting edge design:
So now maybe we're getting somewhere. This design eschews the classic straight razor grip for a contemporary designer folder grip. Not a bad look. Personally I thought it could have done without the spider web motif, but hey. But yet again… as my eyes travel up from the hilt, that sinking feeling returns. Dagnabbit!
OK, so I admit I am biased towards points. And curves. And organic shapes. Perhaps with a few more curves or something, I might find straight razors more appealing. But that would defeat the point of a "straight" razor. And in any case, I think it'd be like lipstick on a pig. I dunno if it's possible to gussy up a straight razor enough to make it look good, without changing the very things that make it a straight razor.
But who knows. Maybe my expectations are a little high…

Investigations for Science Fair Projects
What is a Science Fair?
What is a Science Fair Project?
A science fair is a competition where you, the contestant, enter your science projects.
How is a Science Fair Project Different from any other Science Project?
Every science project has rules to follow. What distinguishes one science project from another are the rules used in developing the project. Thus, even science fair projects can be different if the rules of the fair the projects are competing in are different. This is why, except for individual school fair, there are specific rules for regional, state, and national science fairs. These rules are published online. Know the rules of the fair you are entering and adhere to them as you design and develop your science project.
Rules and Guidelines for International Science and Engineering Fair
The two types of science project investigations most
commonly required for science fairs are:
Science Project Investigation: Experimental
Experimental Investigations involve manipulating one variable to see how it affects a second variable. YIKES!! While this may sound difficult, it really isn't. Let me give you an example of an experimental investigation:
Purpose: To determine how air temperature affects plant growth?
Since a variable is something that changes, the two variables identified in the purpose are: air temperature and plant growth.
Which of the two variables would be manipulated, meaning that you would control how it is changed? This would be the air temperature around a plant.
Note: The manipulated variable is called the independent variable.
The remaining variable, plant growth, is what is being observed to determine if changes in air temperature affects its growth.
Note: The affected variable is called the dependent variable, which makes sense since changes in this variable (plant growth) depends on how you manipulate the air temperature (the independent variable).
FYI: When experimenting, you want to control as best as possible other things that might affect plant growth, such as light, humidity, type of soil, etc…
Science Investigation: Comparison
Comparison Investigations involve comparing a single property of two or more things that do not affect each other. For example:
Purpose: To determine how the magnetic strength of an electromagnet compares to the magnetic strength of a magnet.
What is the property being compared? Magnetic strength.
What are the sources of the magnetic strength? There are two types of magnets–an electromagnet and a magnet.
If you don't find what you need, ASK JANICE.

This is my first post on my new site. Hope to share "Do it yourself" hints and tips with the public at large. This is a sharing site, because I sure do not have all the answers. I love it when I get tips and am always searching the internet for them.
Isn't it wonderful that we live in a time where answers are just a click away. To be truthful, much of the info on the web has to be taken with a "grain of salt". But ideas to do something better often pop up seemingly out of nowhere. I find it works best if you can't figure out a way to do something, let it go for awhile and the answer will magically pop into your head.

GAP cable knit scarf & gloves / Moloh grey dress / Emporio Armani coat (budget HERE) / UNIQLO turtleneck sweater / Gianvito Rossi knee high boots
December has just arrived, but I can't stop dreaming and planning Christmas already. For many people it might be just a nice holiday because they can take a few days off from their job; for children and teenagers the winter break is the key to happiness; for everyone who works in stores Christmas is the heaven of income; but for me this is the time of the year when magic happens. No, no, I'm not talking about fairies and pixie dust, but about real everyday life magic, that we ourselves create and spread. Always remember that we are the creators of our own happiness. To take myself, for instance, I am happy when they turn on the lights in the center of the city on the 1st of December; when my spiced apple compote candle is burning in the room I'm working in; when I buy Christmas decorations and food; and the last but not the least, when I am warm, always warm. That I am going to be this season thanks to my new adorable knitted accessories from GAP…
And this is how I start my festive project with GAP, as a part of their global Styld.by Campaign.
Wish you all a lovely beginning of December!

I heard SAX was probably my best choice, but when looking for tutorials on using the api I didn't find a whole lot of relavent stuff. I ended up writing my own xml parser at one point (a while ago), but I'd much rather use a standard. I don't know how they work, though. Mine would just load it into memory in a tree structure, and I had methods like addChild(node) and setAttribute(key, value), save it as needed, and things like that.

Seems the musical Valentine of choice this year was a copy of Britney Spears' ... Baby One More Time, which remained the nation's best-selling album for the second week in a row. Thanks to the gift-giving holiday, Spears' album enjoyed its best week yet, selling 230,000 copies for the week ending Feb. 14, according to SoundScan. That was up 50,000 copies over the previous week, and enough to practically lap the competition. (The No. 2 album by Offspring sold a distant 130,000 copies last week.)
In fact, nine of the Top Ten titles all enjoyed a Valentine's Day sale boost last week. Only rapper Foxy Brown's Chyna Doll, which came in at No. 10, failed to cash in.
The hearts holiday certainly paid off for veteran pop/R&B producer Quincy Jones. His love song collection, From Q With Love, jumped from No. 191 to No. 82 its second week in stores.
But perhaps the artist celebrating most loudly today is Cher, whose three-month-old album Believe jumped from No. 21 to No. 7 in just two weeks' time.Riding the wave of her unabashedly groovy single "Believe," which is *this* close to going No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Cher's back on top, and just in time for ABC's made-for-TV sweeps-month movie about her life with the late Sonny Bono.
The only act to debut with a new album in the Top 50 last week was Collective Soul. The latest from rock radio's staple band, Dosage, came in at No. 21. The various artists compilation, 1999 Grammy Nominees, debuted at No. 30.
From the top, it was Britney Spears' ... Baby One More Time, followed by Offspring's Americana; Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (selling 127,000 copies); `N Sync (116,000); the Dixie Chicks' Wide Open Spaces (113,000); 2Pac's Greatest Hits (96,000); Cher's Believe (93,000); Shania Twain's Come On Over (92,000); Everlast'sWhitey Ford Sings the Blues (88,000); and Foxy Brown's Chyna Doll (83,000).

Oprah Inspires a Transcendental Meditation Reawakening
Welcome to the year 2012. Some might see it as 1969 revisited, considering protests of all sorts happening in major cities, marijuana as medicine (legally this time), and a refreshed interest in meditation. If the Beatles could make something so popular 40 years ago, Oprah Winfrey is the lady who can set the tone for our country's trends and obsessions today.
The latest news of Winfrey's attraction to Transcendental Meditation (TM) is not just about her craving to reduce stress, feel happy and content in life; it is born out of a deep desire to connect with "that which is God." In other words, her motivation for practicing is to find the divine in herself, through her thoughts, her mind, and her body.
Transcendental Meditation is a type of practice that does not require a set standard, method, or deprivation of anything to achieve; it is just a simple way to stream thoughts so that you can connect with the source of thought that is believed to come from a higher power. Call it God, the Goddess, the Universe, or Your True Self; this higher thought can also come in handy when success and triumph are on the line.
Take the late, great, Steve Jobs for example. In his biography, Jobs was said to have loved taking walks amongst the trees to think and discuss his ideas. He said walking and talking was a way for him to let his thoughts flow like a river, much like the goal of TM. This was a way for him to organize, discard, or act upon those thoughts that inspired him the most.
After its die-out in the Regan Era, TM had been put on a shelf. Thanks to the media, the end of the world scare, and the popularity of yoga and meditation, TM is once again rearing its mystical head in our society of spiritual seekers and business icons alike.
If it worked for David Lynch, the Dalai Lama, and the Doors, it will work for Oprah. If it works for Oprah, you can be sure it will be something that will spark the interest of millions of Americans across the country. We may not be practicing to inspire peace signs in protest of the Vietnam War, but history does have a way of repeating itself.
Ask anyone who is privy to the Mayan Calendar or the dawning of the Aquarian Age, and they will tell you that a huge awakening is taking place. Perhaps it is time to trade in our stale thoughts for a new way of thinking. Can you imagine all the people living a life in peace? You might think you're a dreamer, but I guarantee you are not the only one.

Right now on the farm my morning chores are to feed and water the rabbits. I have learned a lot about rabbits in the last year, and still have a lot to learn. The book we reference here on the farm is Rabbit Production by Cheeke, Patton & Templeton.
One of my favorite parts is when a mother rabbit kindles (gives birth) and we go in to count how many bunnies she had. They are so tiny when they are first born!
In the warmer months, just-weaned rabbits are put out onto pasture in what we call Harepens. These have slatted floors so that the rabbits can reach lots of fresh grass. We move them at least once a day, sometimes twice.
Do you raise rabbits?

If you sent a request to do a mini-profile (we have about three-dozen so far), you should have received an email back from me with the questions. If you didn't get a reply, that means I didn't get your request. Please resend it and remember to put "mini-profile" in the subject (this allows me to pull them from spam if they end up in there).
We have about 30 questions, thanks to CJ Lais and Mark McGuire, and each participant gets five. No two readers will have all the same questions, but obviously there is some crossover. That said, I am familiar with many of you who are participating, so I sent you questions I knew would be in your wheel-house, where applicable. Ex: if you are a parent, you probably got a parenting question, if you're a pop culture whiz, you got the Tan Mom one and if I know you are a cook or a foodie, you got the question on that topic.
Nothing is embarrassing or invasive, they are just fun. I did want to answer a few questions I've been seeing.
Do you select the profiles you like most, or do they all run: As long as the (simple, basic) guidelines are followed, and you don't drop an F-bomb, all profiles appear on OTE. This is my fourth year doing this feature and we've never rejected a submission.
What if I am not photogenic: Check out Jae Wright, Matthew Guilbault or Michael Henry's mini-profiles from years past. They both had creative ways to submit photos that were a little less-expected (but still them).
What if I have done one in the past, can I do another: Absolutely. The questions are different each year — and we have several people who participate each year.
Blog commenters can be really mean. I don't want to be insulted or embarrassed: Blog commenters are much nicer when I am not at the helm. We have never had a problem with nastiness on mini-profiles in the past. That said, all comments will be read and moderated by Taylor Rao, and she will assure that no negativity or nastiness gets through.
If you missed the details last time, they are here. Looking forward to seeing all the answers!

Bob Corker is one Republican I can stand to listen to. He is thoughtful, intelligent and articulate, which is probably why the Tea Party is gunning for him. I never voted for him, but I don't have issues with him. I don't agree with him on much, but he is a skilled speaker. We could certainly do worse — and we have.

Reverse All Engines! Alert Citizens Ahead!
There was no benevolence in the Board of Trustees' decision.
What the papers did not report was that the School District had failed to seek input from the community members who live around Persons Field when the idea of acquiring the park was first raised over two years ago.
What the papers did not report was that on April 19, 2005, the Coeur d'Alene City Council, on a motion by Dixie Reid and seconded by Ben Wolfinger, voted unanimously (Council members Woody McEvers, Deanna Goodlander, Al Hassell, Ben Wolfinger, Dixie Reid, and Ron Edinger voting "aye") to approve Resolution 05-031. That resolution included a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Coeur d'Alene and School District #271 to pursue an equitable agreement whereby the east portion of Persons Field (3.235 acres), which is owned by the City, will ultimately be conveyed to SD 271. The Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Mayor Sandi Bloem with her signature notarized on April 19, 2005. It was also signed by Wanda Quinn, President, Board of Trustees, with her signature notarized on August 1, 2005. In other words, nearly eight months ago, the Coeur d'Alene Mayor and City Council had agreed the City was going to convey Persons Field to the School District.
What the papers did not report was that at its meeting on May 2, 2005, the Coeur d'Alene School District Board of Trustees voted to approve for signature the Memorandum of Understanding re: City of Coeur d'Alene/Lakes Middle School. The motion was offered by Sid Frederickson and seconded by Christie Wood. The motion passed 5-0-0 with Chair Quinn and Trustees Wood, Frederickson, Zipperer, and Newby voting in favor.
What the papers did not report was that at its regularly scheduled meeting on November 8, 2005, the Coeur d'Alene City Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider items SP-11-05 and V-1-05. These agenda items comprised a request by Patano Architects, on behalf of School District 271, for the Commission to approve "...a Community Education Special Use Permit to allow the construction of the new Lakes Middle School which will replace the existing middle school at 15th and Hastings and a 6 1/4 foot height variance from the allowed height of 43 1/4 feet for a non-rsidential use in the R-12 (Residential at 12 units/acre) zoning district." After hearing considerable testimony from School Superintendent Harry Amend and architect Mike Patano and Jon Mueller, the neighbors who use Persons Field as their city park and live near it lined up to speak in opposition. Though it was a city park at stake, Parks Director Doug Eastwood was not present at the hearing to answer Commissioners' questions.
There were some significant revelations during sworn testimony before the Planning Commission on November 8, 2005. In this exchange between Planning Commissioner Mary Souza and Superintendent Amend:
Souza: "Has there not been any public hearings or opportunities for the neighborhood to give their input?"
Amend: "This is, um, of course, our Long Range Planning Committee meetings are open to the public, but usually people don't come to those that aren't part of the Committee. What we consider the planning process where the community would be involved is starting now. We did announce, though, in the spring, it was covered in both papers, that the plan was to build the new Lakes at Persons Field."
Souza: "But the plans for this particular project have not been shared with the public until tonight?"
Amend: "That is correct. Yup."
So with the April 19, 2005, Memorandum of Understanding the deal was done between the City and the School District. Persons Field was going to be the site of the new Lakes Middle School, but the School Superintendent would avoid getting surrounding community members involved until November 8, 2005!
Another exchange between Commissioner Bowlby and Superintendent Amend revealed that the School District had not yet made a decision about how the old Lakes Middle School property would be used if Persons Field was conveyed to the District. Commissioner Bowlby asked if the School District retained ownership of the old Lakes Middle School property, would the District be committed enough to create some open space (to replace the space lost with the District's acquisition of the City's portion of Persons Field) in the Lakes Middle School existing area.
Amend: "No, but yeah, and I think that would, um, if that would, and that part of the question would be, if the District sold the building, would they keep some of the site available? Yeah. I have not had that conversation with the Board. "
In the two years of planning for the remodeling or relocation of Lakes Middle School, why hadn't the Superintendent had a conversation with the Board of Trustees about the use of the old Lakes Middle School property if the District relocated the school to the Persons Field site? And how could the Superintendent and Board of Trustees reasonably expect voters to approve a $40-$50 million school plant facility levy without knowing how the District intended to use or dispose of the old Lakes property?
During the Planning Commission hearing, City Associate Planner John Stamsos chimed in with this revelation:
Stamsos: "Keep in mind that as one of the owners of the property, the City did sign this application, which essentially means that they're, well, they're invested in it and they're okay with the application going forward." In other words, the Planning Commission whose members had not seen the April 19, 2005, resolution and MOU before the November 8, 2005, meeting was being asked to rule on an application to which the City itself was an interested party. Furthermore, if the Planning Commission recommended against approving the application for the Community Education Special Use Permit (as it ultimately did), the applicants (Patano Architects representing SD 271) could appeal that decision to the Coeur d'Alene City Council, the same City Council that on April 19, 2005, had already approved the MOU agreeing to give up Persons Field.
And without knowing the Mayor and City Council had already made the City an interested party to the Special Use Permit application, what did the Planning Commission members do? They listened to sworn witnesses, they asked excellent questions, and they voted to recommend rejecting the application based on the following findings:
- Finding B8A: "That this proposal is not in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan policies." Specifically, the Commission found it deficient on policy 18B1, that parks, open space, and recretational facilities should be provided for neighborhoods as well as for the community; on policy 51A, that it did not sufficiently protect and preserve neighborhoods both old and new; and on policy 51A5, that residential neighborhood residential land uses should be protected from intrusion of incompatible land uses and their effects.
- Finding B8B: "The design and planning of the site is not compatible with the location, setting, and existing uses on adjacent properties."
- Finding B8C: "The location, design, and size of the proposal are such that the development will not be adequately served by existing streets, public facilities, and services."
At the hearing's conclusion, the Planning Commission voted 3 in favor and 2 opposed (Commissioner Jordan was absent) on a motion by Commissioner Rasor, seconded by Commissioner Messina, to deny without prejudice the Community Education Special Use Permit.
Following what was probably an unexpected defeat before the City Planning Commission, the School District held a public meeting for the community at Lakes Middle School on November 28, 2005. The newspapers reported that approximately 50 community members attended. The meeting was moderated by Superintendent Harry Amend. Lakes Principal Chris Hammons and Patano Architects Mike Patano heard questions and comments from the community. One would have thought that in the intervening 20 days between the Planning Commission defeat and this meeting, the School District would have got its stories straight and its act together and have been fully prepared to answer any and all reasonable questions and concerns raised by the community. But that's not what happened.
Even with the School District's Chief Financial Officer, Steve Briggs, present, Superintendent Amend was unable to explain the expected costs of the project or its alternatives without being led through it by one of the community opponents!
The School District's transportation officer was notably absent, so questions and concerns about traffic changes in the neighborhood around the proposed new Lakes Middle School went unanswered and unaddressed.
One audience member asked if community members would be able to freely access the new Lakes Middle School playfields as easily and openly as they could access Persons Field now. The audience member explained that at another school in the District, he and some friends had been playing football on the school field and were asked to leave by the local police. He wanted to know if the police would also run them off the fields at the new Lakes Middle School. It happens that Principal Hammons was at the podium when this question was asked. Principal Hammons' answer was evasive; that the School District would strive to be good neighbors with the neighborhood. It would have been appropriate, even expected, that Superintendent Amend would interject at this point and explain the School District's policy regarding public use of District school playfields, but he sat silent and allowed Principal Hammons to twist slowly, slowly in the wind.
The appeal to the City Council was filed by Patano Architects on November 9, 2005, and the appeal was ultimately scheduled to be heard by the City Council at the regularly scheduled Council meeting on December 6, 2005. But at the School District trustee meeting on Monday, December 5, 2005, the District elected to withdraw the appeal.
As opined earlier, withdrawing the appeal and leaving (for now) Persons Field as a city park was not an act of community charity by the School District. It seems much more likely that the School District, remembering the defeat of the $50 million Kootenai County jail expansion issue in the November 2005 general election, probably came to realize that if it pushed too hard for Persons Field, the voters in the School District might vote down the entire school plant facility levy. So the District decided to cut its losses and withdraw the appeal. The newspaper quotes in today's papers from School District trustees were, well, self-serving spin.
I suspect that over the years the Coeur d'Alene School District, like the Kootenai County Sheriff's Department, has come to take for granted voter support for more funding . Maybe funding was a done deal in the past, but the times they are a-changing. The Mayor and Council of the City of Coeur d'Alene and the Kootenai County Commissioners have got their wish: More and more people are moving here from other places. The result? We who have not lived here all our lives (and many, including some of the folks around Persons Field who have) are unwilling to any longer accept the word of elected and appointed officials without question. We don't owe them political allegiance, we aren't impressed by their family lineage or political connections, and we sure as hell aren't going to be intimidated by them.

After we got home, I did some research to find that it is an Imperial Moth. I was so surprised. Growing up (and still today) one of my favorite books was A Girl of the Limberlost by Gene Stratton Porter. The story is all about a girl growing up in Indiana. A large part of the book centers around the main character's search for a pair of Imperial moths. So I feel like now I've seen a part of my childhood in real life.
Some info about the Imperial moth:
- Adults live for only a day and do not feed.
- Pupation occurs underground.
- Wingspan of 3 1/8 inches to 6 7/8 inches.
- They can be found from western Maine to Nebraska, and south to Texas and the Keys.

The UN's highest court will rule Friday on a German request to order Italy to stop its courts from admitting compensation claims for Nazi war crimes.
International Criminal Court judge president Hisashi Owada will read the decision at 0900 GMT at the court's headquarters in The Hague, the ICJ said in a statement.
The two European Union members have been waging a legal battle since December 2008, when Germany filed an application before the court.
Berlin said that by permitting claims for abuses that occurred between September 1943 and May 1945, Italy "failed to respect the jurisdictional immunity" that modern-day Germany enjoys under international law.
The cases relate to compensation claims for deportations of Italians and other acts by Third Reich troops during World War II after Germany's former Axis partner switched sides and joined the Allies in September 1943.
Last year, Germany's lawyers told a 16-judge bench the "consequences would be severe" should Italian courts be allowed to continue hearing these war crimes claims.
Germany said it could put "all interstate peace settlements in jeopardy by allowing domestic courts to re-examine and reopen them", allowing plaintiffs to "shop around for the most favourable courts."
Italy on the other hand, said the cases were admissible as abuses committed by German troops amounted to "international crimes" which have precedence over state immunity.
This included the case of Luigi Ferrini, who was deported as a forced labourer to Germany in August 1944.
Ferrini claimed compensation from Germany in 1998, and a 2004 Italian Supreme Court decision in his favour started an avalanche of claims by relatives and widows of victims of Nazi war crimes.
There were now 80 cases pending with 500 plaintiffs, German lawyers told the court when the two countries argued their cases before ICJ judges in September.
Also before the ICJ as a non-party state is Greece, because of victims of a 1944 German massacre at Distomo, in which 218 people were killed.
Relatives of the victims of the Greek massacre refiled a case before Italian courts.
In 1997, a Greek court had ordered Germany to pay 28.6 million euros to the Distomo plaintiffs, but opposition from Berlin and the reluctance of Greek justice ministers meant the ruling was never enforced.
An Italian court, however, upheld the original ruling.
Established in 1945, the ICJ is the UN's highest judicial organ and settles disputes between states.

I am entertaining the dream to have a commuter car that would be more fuel efficient, without going deep in debt to purchase some newish hybrid standard model.
So, there are some guys building this (after the "Locost" Ron Champion school):
Never mind the humorus name. :/
My idea was to build a superlight, simple car with engine converted to run on LPG (about half the price of gasoline, here).
Of course I would need windshield and roof, sometimes it pours over here and winters are very cold.
My estimates place this project consuming like 4kg gas/100kg and would be a great improvement over the Benz.
Any thoughts or ideas?

Very common situation.
Note that this 'trivial' variant has been further trivialized by automation through the 'Label Security' option. That relieves the developer of the FGAC design burden and places that on the [non-developer] security administrator's shoulders (where it should be).
Never the less, the only way I can think of to really understand the impact of FGAC is to do some of Tom's famous benchmarks with and without the (manually) rewritten clause. Received on Fri Jul 16 2004 - 21:47:22 CDT

What is this, and why is it important?
Reconnecting to the origins of our food is of utmost importance in our increasingly green society. Buying locally severs the tie to fossil fuels used to transport and process food not purchased locally, encourages local prosperity, and decreases pollution and habitat loss associated with non-sustainable food production.
What can YOU do?
- Purchase food from local vendors, often marked "farm to table"
- Shop at local farmers markets
What is Columbia doing?
Columbia Dining works with both the NYC Greenmarkets and a multitude of local vendors to provide locally grown and produced foods to the Columbia Community. Approximately 52% of all food served at Columbia is purchased from vendors within 250 miles of the Morningside campus. Read more about Columbia's sustainable dining operations.

If it was not bad enough having your rival try to sue you out of the market, Samsung Electronics managed to stuff up the launch of its new Galaxy S III by not having enough of them ready.
The company is estimated to have lost more than 2 million units of sales in just a month by not having enough ready.
Some of the shortage stemmed from a manufacturing glitch that affected some European sales, while major carriers in the United States have had to delay delivery of some pre-ordered phones.
The Galaxy S III has received positive reviews and sales are likely to top 10 million in the first two months since its launch.
Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi said that Samsung seemed to have been caught off guard by the demand, not because they did not believe in their own products, but because they might have over-estimated the competition.
Other than the iPhone and HTC's One X there's not much out there at the moment, which would have certainly helped Samsung, she said.
Samsung claimed that its component shortages have been resolved and it is running at full tilt to meet demand.
However a spokesperson told Reuters that demand far exceeded its expectations. To make matters worse, some people thought its expectations were optimistic, but they turned out to have misty optics.
The word on the street is that the Galaxy shortage will only be a temporary hiccup, but it is affecting some 2 million units of shipments in the April-June quarter.
Barclays has lowered its forecast for Samsung's second-quarter Galaxy S III shipments to 6.5 million from 8 million, but raised its third-quarter shipment forecast by 1 million to 15 million.

BRIDGEPORT -- The sister of Alejandro "Macho" Velez said Monday she warned his girlfriend to stay away from him just days before police say he stabbed the girlfriend to death.
"I told her my brother has mental issues and she should be careful what she was dealing with," said the sister, who asked that her name not be used. "He was always fighting with her, and she called me to come get him because he was bugging out, but I told her to call police."
Velez, 37, remained in critical condition Monday at Bridgeport Hospital. Police said he took an overdose of pills Saturday night after stabbing to death 28-year-old Tinese Benson, the mother of a young son, at his mother's apartment in the Bishop Curtis Homes senior housing apartment building on Palisade Avenue.
It was Bridgeport's first homicide of 2014.
Velez's sister said he had been taking medication for a psychiatric illness. He was to be arraigned in state Superior Court here upon release from the hospital.
The sister, who discovered the body of Benson and the unconscious Velez in the fifth-floor apartment, said that the night before, her brother and Benson had been loudly arguing on State Street.
"They had a very unhealthy relationship," she said.
After Velez was released from prison, his sister said, he was being treated at a local clinic. She said Velez and Benson, who has a criminal record, met in a program.
"When he first brought her to my house, I told him it wasn't a good idea to start a relationship with someone he met in a program, but unfortunately for both of them, he didn't listen to me," she said.
The sister said their mother lives by herself on a fixed income in the Palisade Avenue apartment, but was recently given a trip to Florida as a birthday present. She said her brother agreed to take care of the mother's pets.
She said her brother was on life support at the hospital and police won't let her see him.
"I pray every day for my brother and I pray every day for the girl's family," she said. "A young boy no longer has a mother, and that is very sad."
