How to Enter:
The Worcester Regional Science & Engineering Fair encourages scientifically talented Worcester area middle school students ( grade 6-8) to enter the annual fair held at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. It is not necessary for a school to hold its own science fair in order to enter the Regional Fair. Students involved in research or independent projects may enter directly. Each school may send up to ten (10) projects, no exceptions. Team projects of up to 3 students may participate. Students must inform and consult with their science teacher and school before beginning a science research project.
This year the WRSEF Middle School Division, is using an online approach with the Registration Forms and process for registering for the fair. Forms now include a "Background Informational Sheet" along with the Research Plans (1A, 1B, C & D). This new informational sheet is not a Registration Form. It is only used for parent signatures and a bit more information.
Once the student has decided on a project, he or she will fill out the Informational Sheet, and Forms 1A & 1B and if needed forms C & D. These should be sent to the Regional Safety Review Committee (SRC) BEFORE the student begins the experimental phase, so the project can be checked for safety issues. These forms will be accepted through a rolling deadline of March 2, 2019. The SRC will review all the forms at a meeting during the second week of March. If the project is approved, WRSEF will keep the forms. If the project is not approved, it will be will sent back with comments and suggestions for changes. Once the changes are made on the forms, it can be resubmitted to the SRC..
After the SRC meeting, each school will receive instructions and a unique code that can be used to register up to TEN projects. The student(s) selected then need to register for the event using this code. Information such as team project partners, electricity needs, final project titles, etc. is to be entered.

Dear Mr. Desai,
I am sending under separate cover two copies of Health Bulletin No. 23, The Nutritive Value of Indian Foods and the Planning of Satisfactory Diets, with a reprint of a scientific paper about skimmed milk, etc.
You ask a number of questions about the nutritive value of separated milk and buttermilk. Separated or skimmed milk is of high nutritive value, since it contains all the valuable elements present in whole milk except fat and vitamin A. Whole milk of good quality is to be preferred to separated milk because it contains vitamin A, but there is no question that the regular consumption of separated milk very greatly improves the health and development of Indian children fed on "typical' Indian diets based largely on rice or millet, containing no milk or eggs, and very small quantities of vegetables. An important advantage of skimmed milk, of course, is that it is cheaper than fresh whole milk.
We have used imported dried skimmed milk in a number of experiments. Children receiving 1 oz. of dried skimmed milk powder daily for 3-4 months showed greater increases in height and weight than children on a precisely similar diet without milk. The general condition of the milk-fed children showed remarkable improvement. The milk was given in liquid form, roughly 8 times its weight of water being added to the milk powder to 'reconstruct' liquid milk.
There can be no doubt that liquid separated milk would produce the same effect as dried powder, which is after all only the former reduced to powder by a mechanical process. Such milk should on no account be allowed to go to waste. Only a little organization is required to arrange for its distribution to school children, etc.
With regard to taste, we have found no difficulty whatşever in persuading children to drink reconstructed skimmed milk, or, in another experiment now in progress, liquid separated milk. They seem to like it. I cannot agree that fresh separated milk has a bitter taste. I would suggest that any objection to the taste of such milk might be overcome by the addition of a little sugar. It could also be consumed mixed with cereals, in the form of pudding or porridge.
The transport of liquid separated milk is attended with the same difficulties as the transport of whole milk. Milk is a perishable article of food. Boiling or pasteurization to some degree extend the period during which milk remains fit for consumption. The only way to preserve milk is to turn it into cheese, or to condense, evaporate or powder it. The 'khoa' of Northern India, used in the making of sweetmeats, is an evaporated milk product which seems to keep for some time.
The distribution of liquid separated milk would have to be undertaken in the same way as that of liquid whole milk - i.e. on a daily basis. Boiling before distribution would cause no serious loss in nutritive value.
'Buttermilk' is a term which has several meanings in India. 'Buttermilk' made from curds Ś i.e., soured milk from which a good proportion of the fat has been removed - has roughly the same nutritive value as separated milk, provided no water is added. If, as often happens, large quantities of water are added to 'buttermilk' of this nature, the resulting product is still called 'buttermilk' but of course its food value has been greatly lowered. A third form of 'buttermilk' is the liquid which separates out when cream is churned into butter. This type of "butterşmilk' is of relatively low nutritive value, since most of the valuable elements remain in the original milk from which the cream was obtained. It should, however, not be waited, since it has some food value and is better than no milk at all.
One important fact should be borne in mind. Separated or skimmed milk is not suited to form the sole food of infants, it must be supplemented by some food substance rich in vitamin A - e.g. cod-liver oil. It may, however, be used with advantage to supplement the diets of young children past infancy when such diets are largely based on cereals and contain few vegetables and no animal protein. Separated milk in such circumstances is much better than no milk at all. Our own experiments have demonstrated its value as a food for older children. It would also be a very useful addition to the diet of expectant and nursing mothers.
I have no objection to your publishing this letter in the Harijan.

Bar Celta "Pulpería" in Barrio Gótico.
Another very traditional aspect of Barcelonian food culture is their relationship with food at night. The bars with a food offer that is an inseparable part of the drinking experience reflects the close relationship between food and drink and the preference of gathering after office hours and having very late informal dinners that can start as late as midnight.
While walking through Barrio Gótico, one of the most famous areas of Barcelona, looking for a place to eat at night I notice a discrete place in an dark street. With not more publicity than an announcement board describing the name of the bar an a very powerful adjective that can't go without notice for the food lovers: "Pulpería" which came from the word "pulpo" which means octopus and literally means of a place where octopus is the specialty.
Through one single word your mind starts to image what's going on behind the kitchen and the cooks that everyday are cooking this delicious seafood classic and the many spices and ingredients involved in it.
People with a beer in hand are outside this half iluminated place with an interior design that probably hasn't changed in the last 20 years, the colors of the walls and wood objects reveal the passing of time.
A counter that runs along all the place with individual seats and all the food just behind a crystal clear glass is the heart of the spirit of this place where the clients seat or stand when no chairs are available and order directly to the cashier man whose job goes from pouring beer or wine and passing the uncooked or unheated food to the kitchen to charging the clients.
Only two people are in front of this counter, serving almost 40 people requests at once, at the back of Bar Celta you will find a table if you need to be seated with a group, but one thing should be said, its rather hot due to the heat from the kitchen that wraps all the place.
After ordering some food, the meaning of "Pulpería" arrived straight to me in the form of several dishes and the "Pulpo a feira" (Feira Octopuss) is the one that caught my eye, the cooking with herbs, olive oil and paprika makes this dish the specialty of the house.
More than 40 different options can be found in the menu from Padrón peppers, tortilla de patatas, prawns, chistorra to catalan cream.

Unisex clothing was a natural progression from changes in both women's and men's roles in society. When looking ahead many fashion designers predicted that people would wear unisex clothing in the future and ever since the 1960s it has been a valid look for both men and women.
Some women began to wear men's jeans and t-shirts in the late 1950s. In the 1960s jeans became a growing cult and by the end of the decade this look was widespread. With men growing their hair long and females with boyish figures, it became difficult to distinguish a boy from a girl in the 60s. Mass manufacturing of clothing meant it was possible for couples to walk around in exactly the same outfits. Both boys and girls wore long hair, headbands, worn out jeans and sloppy casual outfits.
Many adults feared that the gender switches of the young would bring about a rise in homosexuality. Not so, said the younger generation: It's just that we talk about it more openly."
There was a renaissance in the refinement of men's fashion during the early 1960s as it was influenced by Italian designers. Men's suits became more tight fitting. Formal leisure suits and single breasted suits with short tailored jackets and narrow lapels worn with narrow collared shirts and thin ties became popular. The mods proved that men could care about the clothes they wore. This attitude allowed changes in men's fashion as the decade progressed.
Narrow pants were worn by the fashionable young with 'winkle picker' shoes. Longer hair replaced the crew-cut, but it was still slicked back with oil and gel. Facial hair became more respectable and sideburns became popular. Custom made tailoring remained a tradition for men. Chelsea boots became fashionable.
In the late 60's men's dress became more fancy and feminine. Men grew their hair, wore wide polka dotted ties, paisley flouncy shirts in fluorescent colors and bell-bottomed velvet pants. The 'peacock' style of dressing became popular with men. Men dressed up as a form of self-expression or to attract women. Fashion designers strengthened their colours and made tight fitting trousers for men in bright and bold, purple and orange, flower prints on velvet fabric combinations. Jewelery collections were launched for men.
In the sixties pants became an accepted fashion garment for women. When the leg wasn't being revealed by the mini it was concealed beneath trousers. Styles like hipsters, bell bottoms and sailor trousers were popular. Pants for women were part of the new unisex fashion style that was becoming popular and the distinction between men and women's clothing became less and less. One of the frequent complaints was "You can't tell the boys from the girls these days". When woman stopped wearing bras, one Government department circulated the following memo "In future, female employees will wear bras but no pants."
As early as 1964 the trouser-suit for women had been launched in Paris by Courreges. Woman wearing pant suits were not allowed in clubs and restaurants and were banned from wearing them in the office. However, apart from this, pant suits became a permanent feature of women's wardrobes. Masculine trouser suits in charcoal-grey pinstripe and herring bone tweed and also black velvet or corduroy were created for women. In 1964, John Bates, working for Jean Varon, designed a pair of trousers with key holes at the knees.
'Moon Girl' pant suits were not popular in many countries despite being high fashion in Paris. Girls wearing them were usually not allowed to enter restaurants and clubs. Another popular combination was the mini dress worn with trousers, which enjoyed a revival in the late 1990's. Pinstripe suits, with pants or skirts, for women were the winter uniform according to an English manufacturer who dressed the models like businessmen from the city of London complete with bowler hats and furled umbrellas.
By 1970 designers were over the pretty feminine peasant styles that had been popular and created trouser-styles which were all the rage in London.
Winter clothes were a long-term investment. They had to be warm and wearable, have a fashionable line and be hard-wearing. Jackets were made with the highest standards of workmanship and in designer fabric.
Reversible clothes were popular as were fur trimmed coats. These were made with matching dresses or skirts.
The maxi look of long Russian inspired coats was designed to be worn over minis or trousers. They cost a fortune to be dry cleaned and some people were violently against the look
We all just got used to wearing brightly colored jeans, and already there's another trend that's here to stay: printed pants. Printed pants are definitely a tough trend to pull off as you don't want them to look like PJs! But, there's nothing to be afraid of. With the right amount of confidence and a little bit of creativity anyone can carry off this trend.
Play it safe: If you are new to this trend, play it safe with subtle prints like pinstripes and polka dots.
Cut is crucial: Patterned trousers can look preppy and even business-casual when styled correctly. While printed harem-style pants are hot on street style blogs, they can be hard to pull off in real life. The easiest and most flattering way to rock this trend is with a skinny cut.
Elongate your legs: This can be done in many ways, but wearing heels or wedges is probably the easiest. Ballet flats will look great with cropped styles.
Keep your top simple: Solid colours and slimming silhouettes will nicely complement the boldness of your pants. Sometimes patterned bottoms have a tendency to look like pyjama pants. Pair them with a neat dress shirt and blazer to accomplish the perfect look.
Remember, leggings aren't pants: Always pair your printed leggings with a tunic or a simple dress that covers your butt.
Be confident: As with almost every fashion trend, those around you can sense whether you feel good in something or not. Carry yourself with confidence and people will admire your bold sense of style.]

A young family who lived on Cookstown's Loy Street has been 'driven out' of their home because of the late-night shenanigans of club-goers, according to their landlord.
The couple and their baby were living in a home that faced on to the main street, but were often woken by revellers leaving nearby licensed premises late at night.
After losing his tenants to a more quiet area of town, Shane Beckett has questioned the ability of authorities to deal with the problem.
Hitting out at council and police, he said he appeared before councillors to explain his tenants' difficulties at an Environment Committee meeting in January.
Those living in his four properties have had club-goers urinating on their doors, glass bottles strewn across their yards, and found couples getting intimate beside their homes. But he said he has since been told he cannot have details of how the decision to renew the license was reached, as it comes under commercial confidentially.
Mr Beckett told the Mail: "Some of my tenants have now been driven out of their homes because of the problem.
Asked what he would do to resolve the issue, he said: "The buses must drop off at the door of the nightclub... then go and park in the Burnavon and then at kicking out time, they need to queue up in the double lanes and pick up from the door. It's all about crowd control," he explained.
"They need to be held back from the top of Loy Hill and away from residents homes (and) the nightclub needs to keep its doors open to allow people to use the toilets, until the last bus has gone."
The Mail contacted the club for a comment, but so far, they have not replied.
Asked why the licensing discussion could not be made public, a spokesperson for the council said: "Information that relates to the financial or business affairs of any particular person is specified as exempt information and so the business was transacted and a decision taken in-committee.
"The council will continue to support the police in dealing with public order issues, where appropriate."
Speaking for the PSNI, Superintendent Mike Baird said: "Cookstown has a vibrant night time economy, with members of the local community and visitors enjoying what the town has to offer.
"I would like to remind those who are out at night to respect the people who live in the local community and be mindful of how their actions can impact on their lives.
"The local police continue to work closely with licensees and community representatives in the town to address any concerns that are brought to our notice.
"I would ask anyone who is aware of antisocial behaviour to please contact police on the non-emergency number 101 and let us know."

Maser Ultrasonic Pest Repellers are electronic transmitters of high frequency sound (well above the 20 KHz frequency which is the upper limit of the hearing range of the human ear).They emit intensive sound at high decibel levels (sound pressure) that is audible and painful to pests but is inaudible and harmless to humans. The pests will usually leave the area being protected by the ultrasound. They do not get killed.
The powerful sound waves generated by the transducers of Maser repellers are within the hearing range of many pests and cause them pain and discomfort. Sometimes they will leave the area being protected immediately, in other cases it will take as long as two to three weeks before significant reduction in infestation occurs.
Maser's transducers are completely quiet. If you cannot hear them do not think that the unit is not working. You cannot hear ultrasound
Model: Standard
This model is a stand alone system that can protect an enclosed area of 300 sq. ft.
Model: Tailor made I
This model is a stand alone system with an additional transducer. Apart from protecting the main workstation the additional transducer protects the area of false ceiling or flooring in the ATM/Server room/Data centre/Hub room etc.
Model: Tailor made II
This model is a stand alone system with two additional transducers. Apart from protecting the main workstation the additional transducers protects the area of false ceiling or flooring in the ATM/Server room/Data centre/Hub room etc.
Location of Maser Ultrasonic Rodent Repeller:
Aim the Maser unit to the wall so that the sound will "bounce around" and will reflect from walls, ceiling, room contents and floor and will be present throughout the area. Since ultrasound usually does not penetrate walls, it is important that it bounces around corners to cover larger areas. Plug the Maser unit into a 230 volts standard wall outlet.
Extension cords may be used if necessary. The green light (LED) will go ON and OFF to indicate that the unit is working. Leave the Maser unit ON 24 hours a day.
Maser units are designed for indoor use. If used outdoors they should be protected from the weather. Outdoors, because there are fewer possibilities for reflection of the ultrasound and many things that will absorb or dampen sound, their use is limited.
Area of Effectiveness:
A single Maser unit will protect an area of 300 sq. ft. in the work place or cabin. In the areas of the false ceiling/flooring the additional transducer will protect an area of 150 sq. ft. Under difficult conditions, the size of the area that will be protected can be considerably less. The type of structure, contents and partitions may limit the area of effectiveness.
Important considerations are the cleanliness of the area, the means of entry for rodents(easy or difficult), protection of food present in the area, and the availability of alternate source of food and water. Try one Maser in the area you wish to protect. Within two or three weeks, or sooner, you should see a reduction in pest activity (sightings of rodents and droppings, and damage).If not, you may need one or more additional units.
Maser units are guaranteed for one year from the date of purchase by the user against defects in materials or workmanship.

There's no doubt that Pinterest can be a huge driver of traffic to your website. (Don't believe us? Check out the amazing case study we mention inside Zero to Pinterest that will have your jaw on the floor!) But, how do you know for certain if Pinterest is generating leads for your business, or is just another enjoyable social media time waster?
There are three questions you need to answer to find out if Pinterest is working as part of your traffic-building marketing strategy:
- Does traffic to your site from Pinterest convert? (Are these peeps sticking around once they get to your site; opting in, and/or reading your blog posts?)
- Are people pinning images from your site? If so, which ones are generating the most pins?
- Are people using the "Pin It" button on your site? (Don't know what this is, or how to install it? We go over the easy instructions in Zero to Pinterest).
Unless you're psychic, there's only one way for sure to find the answers you need: Google Analytics.
Now, looking at charts and graphics might not be everyone's idea of a party. But, it's important to see where your website traffic is coming from so that you can focus your marketing efforts! Go Indiana Jones on the data and find your traffic holy grail.
Assuming you already have a Google Analytics account set up and installed on your site, here's how to dig up the dirt:
Referral Reports
This is a super easy way to see at a glance how many site visits came through Pinterest. Go to Traffic Sources, then click on Sources > Referrals Report. If Pinterest.com (or m.pinterest.com – the mobile version of the site) is not listed in your top ten referral sources, then simply search for "Pinterest" using the filter above the table of results.
Custom Reports
Custom reports allow you to view specific data points that you are interested in tracking. For Pinterest, it would be helpful to know which pins (pages) on Pinterest are generating the most visits, how long those visitors stay on your site, how many pages on your site they looked at, or whether they left immediately (bounced).
Dashboards provide an excellent overview of your site activity. You can add widgets to your dashboard to track specifics and, when you check your dashboards regularly, you'll get a good overall idea of how Pinterest is working as a traffic builder.
Key areas to keep an eye on are:
- Daily visits from Pinterest
- How long do users stay on your site
- How many (and which) pages are they looking at
Dashboards will help you quickly understand which content on Pinterest is most resonant with your audience (i.e. they are staying on your site after they click through, they are pinning images from your site, etc.).
Pinterest can be your traffic holy grail, but only if you use it optimally.

Interview with redhead Kierra Wilde
I got to meet Kierra Wilde some time ago on twitter while scouting newbies for a site. Kierra had that look of a girl next-door who might be innocent and naughty at the same time. The Denver native is 19 years old and her 34D rack have been featured in quite some films. Kierra started in the adult business as a camgirl, then after having some offers she heard the Calling of porn, so she decided to g full-fledge pornstar. Kierra not only has a pretty face and big boobs, but also she has a very well-rounded-ass which she has put in action several times. She was kind enough to give me an exclusive interview. Please read below to get to know more about this ginger cutie.
BoobsRealm.com: When and why did you start in the adult business?
Kierra Wilde: Spring 2013, started web camming as an interest
BoobsRealm.com: How did your family and friends react when they found out about your career choice? What do they think now?
Kierra Wilde: They were shocked and concerned. Now they still don't know what to think, they want me to be happy with my life at the end of it.
BoobsRealm.com: What is your bra size? When did your breast start to grow?
Kierra Wilde: 34D started to grow in 5th grade
BoobsRealm.com: Did you have any expectation before getting into porn and then found out it was different? Or was it as you imagined it?
Kierra Wilde: I expected for agents to be more considerate and professional. I expected for producers to be creepy and unprofessional but it was the opposite. Agents can be more unprofessional then producers.
BoobsRealm.com: What sites have you shot for?
Kierra Wilde: Exploited college girls, immoral productions, devil's films, evil angel, DogFart blacks on blondes, combat zone, Adam and Eve, kink.com, dungeon corp
BoobsRealm.com: Have you gotten turned on while shooting the scene? Or is it possible to act all the time?
Kierra Wilde: Yes I have several times. It depends on the talent, work environment, as well as producer/videographer input and requests for scene content. At the same time I can get into character well and act when needed.
Kierra Shows her 34Ds
BoobsRealm.com: Do you have any restrictions? anal, bukake, swallowing, etc?
Kierra Wilde: My restrictions are no water sports, hardcore bondage, electro shock, anything illegal
BoobsRealm.com: Has your private sexual life changed since you got into porn?
Kierra Wilde: Yes I play with myself more as well as I have to be aware of how conflicting it is to have relations with people outside of the industry.
Kierra during her first gangbang
BoobsRealm.com: Was there a scene during which you thought " I quit" or maybe "This is the perfect job"?
Kierra Wilde: First scene for exploited college girls was great and had me thinking this is perfect job…when I shot for kink it was such an exhausting shoot it had me thinking if I should continue with this type of work.
BoobsRealm.com: Is there a pornstar you would love to shoot with?
Kierra Wilde: I would love to shoot with mild Kendra lust or Chloe amour.
BoobsRealm.com: Is it difficult for a pornstar to find a boyfriend outside the business? What is your experience or what have you heard about it?
Kierra Wilde: It is difficult because as an adult model I need to have independence with my work and it can be hard to balance a between boyfriend and business..someone outside of industry is not going to understand compared to a male talent that is familiar with how things go in the adult business world.
BoobsRealm.com: Facial, swallow or spit?
Kierra Wilde: Facial
BoobsRealm.com: If you could play a character in a porn parody, who would it be?
Kierra Wilde: Lindsay lohan- Cady from mean girls
Kierra being a mean girl and sucking two big black cocks

Kierra Wilde: Short term: (inside) create content for Kierrawilde.com (outside) get new car
Long term: (inside) start feature dancing and building modeling portfolio (outside) buy property
BoobsRealm.com: Have you met your fans? Were they respectful or did they think you were in "sex machine mode 24/7"?
Kierra Wilde: I have met a fan or two. There were respectful, they were surprised as I was that someone recognized me.
BoobsRealm.com: Would you like to add something else to the fans reading the interview?
Kierra Wilde: I am currently taking requests for custom videos. Look up kierra wilde on customs4u.com Follow me on Twitter and Instagram @kierrawilde . I am also selling panties and booking for skype shows, to inquire about either email me firstname.lastname@example.com

Q: Customer who have sensitive skin – "Please give me recommendations of basic skin care products (toner/lotion/essence/cream) for sensitive skin~" please also recommend me pore primer and BB cream as well~"
A: Ben & Sera ATO-K answers – "Why do you apply layers and layers of products when you have a sensitive skin? If you want a healthy skin, eliminate the numbers of product you are applying to your skin immediately. The main point is improving the strength of the skin itself!!! The answer is simple – let your skin have its own strength using hypo-allergenic, ingredients that aren't banned moisturizer. Moisturizer with good ingredients enhances, recovers and relieves the protecting wall of the surface of the skin constantly.
Acen, atopy (skin with problems) is due to an immune system breakdown

More Q&A
Q1. It says no coloring, but the cream is in brown color and not transparent?
A1. There is no coloring added, some ingredients have natural brown color and this is why
Q2. Can I use Ben & Sera's ATO-K with other products?
A2. Collagen condensation because of stem cell might give you slight tightening feel on your skin. You can use lotion or cream when you feel the tightness happening to your face. (There is no irritation at all)
A2. When you are using ATO-K with other Ben & Sera products, just apply ATO-K to the area that has skin problem. Get it all absorbed into the skin and then start applying other Ben & Sera products.
Q3. I see the dead skin cells coming out and I feel tightness on my skin, is it ok?
A3. No worries, old cell coming off your skin is a good sign and you will see less and less dead skin cell after using 3 to 4 days. Also there is an ingredient that extracts the bodily waste, you might feel your skin is a little tight. If you have a really dry skin, finish it with a lotion or cream of your choice.
Q4. One can get red in the face or can get pimples on the face?
A4. Human skin sometimes reacts to new ingredients differently. Since our product never contains harmful ingredients, this kind of skin trouble will be disappearing after 2 to 3 days.
Q5. One's skin ca keep peeling?
A5. If one apply our product on skin, this kind of skin trouble can be happened. Since our essence promotes the skin cell reproduction. It will promote the skin circulation, and dead skin cells will be disappearing and removed after a few days.

I want to share with you my personal story. I faced this event invitation subject lines problem 4 years ago when I just started my career in marketing. Luchia, my marketing manager, gave me a task to create, don`t really remember, I think, 15 different event invitation letters, that we were going to send over by email.
"Well, not a problem at all", I said. A mysterious smile appeared on Luchia`s face and she mentioned that I have to pay an extra attention to the subject lines. "Do not screw up. Do the research", she said. A deep and serious tone of her voice gave me a clear understanding, that that`s going to be not that easy peasy lemon squeezy. And, seriously, it wasn`t! I was not mistaken at all. I passed through all these research stages, that I described below and discovered the true power of words. Hope, my story will help you.
Stage #1. Panic
Tons of information. All these dos and don'ts. Headache. Frustration. What a great start, right? 🙂
Stage #2. Well, OK. All Kidding Aside. What Is an Event Invitation Letter?
There are quite a few marketing channels, which help to promote your activities. Inbound marketing: online advertising, SEO, SMM; outbound marketing: print advertisements, cold calls, etc. But the only one, which helps to build personal relationships, is email marketing. That`s the beauty of this channel.
An event invitation letter is a way to start a private conversation with your potential customer.
But pay attention, you are not alone; many of your rivals are knocking on a recipient's mailbox as well. Therefore, you have to grab reader's attention from the very first sight.
Stage #3. What You Should Write in the Subject Line for Event Invitation
Statistically proved, 33% of recipients decide whether or not to open an email based on subject line alone. Usually, people read 700 words per minute, classically, a subject line`s length is about 50 characters.
That`s mean, you have only 4 seconds to engage your reader. Only 4 seconds! To make a tempting and yummy offer.
I want to share with you some useful tips for writing a winning and an eye-catchy event invitation`s subject line. They will increase your Open Rate.
1. Be Smart, Be Specific
Do you remember the well-known SMART-approach? Everything starts from a specification. An event invitation letter is a kind of notification. And, to be honest, it's not a good time to be mysterious here. You need to be 100% clear about your goal and let customers know exactly what they're about to open.
While planning your event, you've been thinking about your targeted audience (the "WHO"). Now an e-mail invitation has to inform your attendees why they have to attend your event. The "WHY". Write an attractive and specific sentence.
2. Use Name in the Subject Line
I want to quote Dale Carnegie's words. "Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language". He is right and we have to use this wise advice.
3. Use Action-Oriented Words
Inspire your readers and make your emails more clickable adding a call-to-action vibrant verb at the beginning of a subject line.
4. Be Sweet and Make Recipients Feel Special
No need to explain, here are two awesome examples:
"An exclusive offer for you"
"Private invite"
See? Yummy! Already want to open 🙂 True magic!
Stage #3. What You Should NOT Write in the Subject Line for Event Invitation
1. Don't Make False Promises
Be honest. No one likes liars. You have to be reliable. Build a win-win position. Don't try to make your recipients open an email using fake statements in a subject line. Broken promises have consequences. It makes lover Open Rate and higher Unsubscribe Rate. Is that what you really want? Nope. Then don't play this game.
2. DO NOT OVERCAPS or Overuse !!! Exclamation !!! Marks!!!
Queen Anne is dead! Such emails look spammy. They are irritable and ugly. People ignore them and that's not a surprise.
3. Do Not Avoid Numbers
Numbers talk. People like to use measurements, it helps to evaluate, predict payoffs and see the big picture at the same time. That's a proven good practice to use numbers either in blog posts` titles or emails` subject lines. Use it!
Stage #4. How to Test Your Subject Line
You cannot rely on your own predictions. Achtung! A good A/B test recipe: choose two really different variables. Try to play with various value propositions, emotions, subject line`s length, statements vs questions, including numbers vs not including numbers. There are many things to try.
Then, show these two versions to two similarly sized audiences, and analyze which one performed better.
Seems difficult. GEVME can solve all your test`s problems. Find out more here.
Stage# 5. Mistakes with Subject Lines for Invitation Letter
1. You Are Trying to Cram All and That`S Make Your Subject Lines Too Loooooooong
Email subject lines will get cut off if they're too long, especially on mobile phones. No more than 50 characters. Read it twice and repeat it. Try to compose your proposition using fewer than 50 characters (five to seven words). That's quite a common mistake, that's why I'm so annoying and persevering here.
2. Wrong Spellings and Grammar Errors
People will not open your illiterately written event invitation letter. Period. Please, proofread your content.
3. Never Reuse Event Invitation Email Subject
That`s disrespectful. Do not waste either your or recipients` time.
4. You Can Be Funny, but Do It Carefully
All things are good in moderation. Sometimes it's better to leave jokes to professionals; comedy writing is a difficult skill to master.
5. Say No to "RE" and "FE"
Do not "reply" or "forward" an email multiple times, because you will end-up with this: "FW: FW: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: You're Invited to Startup Award". Looks pretty bad.
Stage #6. Examples of Good Subject Lines
Here are 4 good email subject lines for events:
- Free Workshop: Winning Marketing Strategies
- You're Invited to Gummi Bears` Party
- Don`t Miss Out: 5th Event`s Management Conference
- Monday: English Speaking Club 7PM at the Golden Park
Stage #7. Finish. Heaven
We've just discovered the true power of words and it's time to take a break. Take a breath, drink your coffee and get creative juices flowing.
Also, later on, you will need to write a business event invitation email. Learn how to make it effective here.
Good luck! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and wishing many successful email subject lines!
Create subject lines that will make users open the letters with GEVME Email marketing.

In this episode of Kikaida, (cue soundtrack: Jiro… changeee… Kikaida) the human-like Jiro transforms into his powerful alter ego Kikaida to fight for justice and battle another of evil Professor Gil's surprisingly similar-looking minions.
Fast-forward from the '70s though, and 2008 needs a new idol. Like beautiful but chronically single Jennifer Hunter who secretly becomes Ashlyn, a fidelity inspector battling cheating men who all look alike on the inside – unfaithful. In Jessica Brody's debut novel "The Fidelity Files," Ashlyn morphs into each man's fantasy – whether football-mad flight attendant, savvy poker player, or naïve business traveler. Then she tests them for the intention to cheat, ensuring that her client's mate does all the propositioning until it's clear he would've had sex with her, but escapes before things go all the way.The plot remains irresistible as a succession of men fail (frighteningly common) or pass (dumbfoundingly rare), and the titillating tension only increases as Jennifer struggles to keep her identity a secret from friends and the world, and somehow finds time to fall in love.
That is, until one last assignment (Jennifer…changeee…Go, go go go!) alters her position on love and relationships for good.
It's one superpower every girl wants.

Protecting Your Home from Termites!
Termites: How to Reduce Your Home's Risk of Infestation
Termites are the most economically important wood-destroying organism in the United States, with approximately $2 billion per year being spent for their prevention and treatment. This high-dollar amount could be reduced if homeowners implemented a number of relatively simple, inexpensive, practical measures around their home and outlying structures that reduce the risk of subterranean termite infestations. Such preventive measures are very cost-effective given that a home typically represents one's largest monetary investment.
Many construction and landscaping features literally can invite termites into one's home. An awareness of basic termite biology and habits can help you understand the necessity of certain prevention measures. The goal is to recognize and alter conditions around one's home so as to reduce the termites' environmental requirements for moisture, food (wood), and shelter.
Termite Biology and Habits
In many parts of the United States, subterranean termites are the most common type of termites that infest homes. These termites need moisture to survive. They are closely associated with the soil, where they typically construct an underground nest or a series of interconnected nests, hence the name "subterranean termites." The termites excavate narrow tunnels through the soil, creating a network through which they can travel very long distances (hundreds of feet or more) to reach food. They also transport soil above ground to construct mud tubes (shelter tubes) and to line their feeding galleries in wood. Soil serves as a source of moisture that helps protect termites from the drying effects of air. It also shields termites from predators (ants, birds, lizards, etc.) that feed on them.
Cellulose (especially wood) is the main food source for subterranean termites. In nature, termites feed on dead wood, including roots and stumps. Around homes, termites readily feed on wood mulch used in landscaping. However, any type of mulch provides termites with needed moisture and protection from the elements. In homes, termites often first attack wood that is located close to the soil (i.e., lower parts of the house). They then can follow the framework of the house to gain access to upper levels and floors. As they feed, they excavate galleries in the wood. Termites also can tunnel through inedible materials such as foam insulation, plaster board, etc. as they search for food.
Do not unknowingly invite termites into your home!
Employ any of the following measures to help disrupt the termites' ability to locate moisture, food (wood), and shelter.
Solutions to Termite-Conducive Situations
Problem: Cellulose (wood, dead plant material, paper, etc.) in contact with soil provides termites with ready and unobservable access to food.
- Keep all wooden parts of the house foundation at least 6 inches above the soil.
- Keep mulch levels several inches below the siding and wooden parts of the structure.
- Avoid or minimize use of wood mulch next to the foundation.
- Remove dead trees, stumps, and roots near the structure.
- Never store firewood, lumber, or paper against the foundation or in the crawl space.
- Remove wood debris and form boards.
Problem: Moisture accumulation near the foundation provides water needed for termite survival.
- Grade or slope soil away from the foundation.
- Divert rain water away from the foundation.
- Maintain clean gutters and down-spouts.
- Install down-spout extenders and splash blocks.
- Use drain tiles if site is flat.
- Divert lawn sprinklers and irrigation water away from the foundation.
- Promptly repair leaking faucets, water pipes, and air conditioning units.
- Use mulch sparingly (no more than 2 inches depth is recommended).
- Keep plants and ground covers 3-4 feet away from the house foundation.
Problem: Poor ventilation in crawl space provides water needed for termite survival.
- Cover approximately 75 percent of the soil surface in the crawl space with a vapor barrier (4-6 ml polyethylene sheeting).
- Install 1 square foot of vent opening per 300 to 500 square feet of crawl space area (when using a vapor barrier).
- Install 1 square foot of vent opening per 150 square feet of crawl space area (without a vapor barrier).
- Enhance cross ventilation.
- Remove any vegetation covering vents.
Problem: Hidden termite access.
- Install trellises and trim plants so that they do not contact the house.
- Do not build flower planters against the house.
- Regularly inspect cracks or joints in concrete slabs for evidence of termites.
- Install metal flashing when attaching porches or decks (even when using "treated" lumber) to an existing house.
- Remove mulch that contacts siding or obscures a clear view of the foundation.
- Never install foam board insulation (polystyrene) below grade.
Annual Inspection Checklist
- Water is directed away from the foundation.
- Wood and other cellulose materials (including mulch) are away from the foundation.
- The foundation is exposed around the entire house.
- The basement (or crawl space) is relatively dry.

For Andrew and Dina Parise and the Parise Racing team, this weekend at the Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod Assoc. race did not turn out as well as they had expected, on the track but off the track was another story.
"The cars are running very well. " Stated Andrew Parise . "Dave Jordan, our Crew Chief is doing a great job on both cars. We are qualifying well, and are making good, solid passes. We had a few glitches this weekend that caused us to go out early in the game. My '53 Montana Bros. Corvette had problems, and I did not make it out for first round. It'sO.K. We will be back at it for Atco. "
Andrew qualified with a 6.098 @ 236.34 MPH and Dina qualified with a 6.190 @ 229.94. 2nd and 5th respectively. When it came time for first round, Andrew did not make the call. Regardless, the crew continued to work hard. "We could not do what we do without the help of Dave Jordan our Crew Chief, and crew member Charlie Saccoccio. Also on hand was Nick Montana (Montana Bros. Pro Chassis Dasign), James Montana and Dean Mauro. We appreciate their hard work!." Stated Andrew Parise.
" My '63 Tim McAmis Corvette was running well all day." Stated Dina Parise. "I went up for first round, and BAM! She smokes the tires and has wicked tire shake! I'm out! From hero to zero in a split second. One minute they congratulate you on the last race win, the next minute they console you. That's drag racing! No worries, I'm ready for next week!"
Maybe things on the track were not going well, but up in the suites at Maryland International Raceway, there was much to cheer about.
Through Parise Racing's Vettes for Vets program, there were many Military members in attendance as VIP's for the NEOPMA race. The members ranged from active duty, retired Veterans, to Wounded Warriors.
The VIP's were treated to a great day of racing as well as good food and a bird's eye view of all of the action. All this followed by a well deserved introduction to the crowd, made by Johnny Rocca. Not to mention Johnny's donation to the Wounded Warrior Project!
Parise Racing would like to thank MIR for accommodating the Military members so well. Thank you especially to Royce Miller, Bryan Starner, Johnny Rocca and Fabian for making the day so special for the 'Vettes for Vets' VIP's, and for supporting the program itself.
Parise Racing would also like to thank Rustic River Bar and Grill for providing a wonderful lunch for the VIP's.
Lastly, a special thank you to ;Pete Berner and John Montecalvo, of the MMPSA for taking the time out to meet with the VIP's. Not only did they meet with the VIP's, they gave them some great items to take home. Your generosity and caring was certainly appreciated.
Parise Racing's next stop will be ADRL at Virginia Motorsports Park May 21-22.
Going to ADRL? Stop by Parise Racing at VMP and make a donation to the Wounded Warrior Project or, you can donate on line: http://www.pariseracing.com/causes.php .

Healthy Kids
: Stronger Muscles May Mean Better Health for Kids
By Amy Norton
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, March 31, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Preteens with strong muscles may have healthier blood pressure, cholesterol and body-fat levels than their less brawny peers, a new study suggests.
More than 1,400 sixth-graders had their strength tested with a hand-grip exercise. Overall, the stronger kids appeared to have a lower risk for heart disease and diabetes, according to the study, which was published online March 31 in the journal Pediatrics.
Greater strength was associated with lower levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol and triglycerides (another blood fat), and higher levels of "good" HDL cholesterol. The stronger kids also had slightly lower blood pressure and blood sugar.
What's more, the benefits were specifically linked to muscle strength. It wasn't just a matter of strong kids being thinner or more physically active, said researcher Paul Gordon, a professor of health, human performance and recreation at Baylor University.
"Even when you factor in these other things, that association with strength is still there," Gordon said.
The finding doesn't prove that stronger muscles directly lead to better health, Gordon said. Still, he said, "this sheds light on the fact that strength may be just as important a predictor of kids' [health] as aerobic fitness."
A pediatrician who reviewed the study agreed. "This suggests kids need a strong heart and strong muscles," said Dr. Bradley Berg, medical director of pediatrics at Scott & White Healthcare in Round Rock, Texas.
"I think the take-home is, kids should be well-rounded in their activities," Berg said. "Not just cardiovascular, and not just strengthening."
That doesn't mean your child needs to pump iron, Berg and Gordon said. Younger kids should lift only light weights, if any, until their bones are mature, Berg said.
Whatever their age, kids can increase their strength with any activity that involves "lifting their body weight against gravity," Gordon said. That can mean climbing -- on an indoor climbing wall or old-fashioned monkey bars on the playground -- or doing push-ups, for example.
Dr. Timothy Church, a professor of preventive medicine at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La., said the activity a child participates in doesn't need to be weight-lifting. "It could be yoga," he said.
Church has studied the health effects of different forms of exercise in adults. He said the combination of strength training and aerobic exercise -- like brisk walking -- works better than either alone when it comes to cutting blood-sugar levels and excess weight.
"There's no reason to believe that wouldn't be true in kids too," he said.
The new findings are based on more than 1,400 students, aged 10 to 12, at 17 Michigan schools. Based on their hand-grip test, the children were divided into three groups of low, moderate and high strength.
Among boys, the third with the greatest strength had LDL levels that were 10 points lower, on average, than the third with the lowest strength. The same was true for girls. When it came to triglycerides, stronger kids had levels that were 20 to 30 points lower.
As for blood pressure and blood sugar, the differences were less dramatic. The high-strength group had levels that were a few points lower, on average, than the low-strength group. Why would strength affect something like cholesterol? "Muscle is different, metabolically, than fat or bone," Berg said. "Muscle is active. It burns a lot of calories."
It makes sense, he said, that stronger muscles would influence blood fats and sugar.
And although an 11-year-old's cholesterol or blood pressure might not be a health threat now, the concern is that those patterns will continue into adulthood, Gordon said. "Kids with risk factors tend to become young adults with risk factors," he said.
Church said the findings offer one more reason to make sure kids have well-rounded, quality physical education in school. "This is an example of why PE is so important," he said.
