QUALITATIVE REPORT, vol.22, no.1, pp.123-135, 2017 (Peer-Reviewed Journal)
Limited studies have been conducted on the effects of error correction on acquiring oral proficiency and the teacher's role as error corrector. Thus, the present study aims to investigate English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers' perceptions of error correction in their speaking classes, reasons and types of errors they correct and their error correction strategies. The sample group in the study consisted of 15 English instructors working at a state university in Turkey. The data collection instruments consisted of a background questionnaire, reflections, interviews and essay papers. Results showed that EFL teachers seem to make corrections to improve learners' accuracy during speaking, grammar and vocabulary knowledge and pronunciation skills and that EFL teachers believe that error correction may contribute to habit formation in terms of self-correction among students, pragmatic and appropriate use of the target language, learners' accuracy and fluency. Another conclusion was concluded that teachers concentrate on pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary errors that directly distort meaning while speaking, and that they seem to use various strategies to correct errors. It was recommended that the curricula of teacher training programs should include topics to raise awareness of the issues such as reasons to make corrections, situations that require corrections, error types and correction strategies.

17 Tips on Amazing Cold Emails for Recruiting [+13 Templates]
Cold recruitment emails (and calls) can be tough. The kind of people your company wants to recruit are already being bombarded with hundreds of emails from other organizations and agencies.
How are you meant to stand out and grab your dream candidates' attention?
Your recruitment email needs to stand out for all the right reasons, so there's not a chance the recipient could ignore it.
Easier said than done, right? That's why we've put together 17 essential tips on how to create an outstanding cold email for recruiting (plus 13 best recruiting email templates you can customize and use in your next campaign).
Source the right candidates
The overall success (or failure) of any recruitment campaign will depend largely on who you're emailing in the first place. Are you emailing absolutely everyone who has an email address? Are you relying on an email list you bought? Or are you emailing a list you've carefully curated yourself?
Emailing everyone you can is a bad idea, not least because it's spammy and, depending on the exact circumstances, illegal. Even if you avoid getting fined, mass emailing makes it almost impossible to meaningfully personalize your recruitment cold email template.
Sending emails to a list you've bought gives you a better chance, but isn't without its dangers. For a start, if you've bought your list off the wrong person, chances are most of the addresses are out of date or incorrect. This means more bounced emails, which will ultimately hurt your sender reputation and deliverability.
If you have the time, it's best to source and build your list of potential candidates yourself. For example, you could use LinkedIn to search for and filter through ideal recruits, then use email finders to collect their contact info. This is also a great way to learn more about them to help with personalization later on. You can then also determine whether you want full-time staff, on-demand employees, or freelancers.
Bonus tip: When you're building and researching your list of potential candidates, look for opportunities to 'warm' them up. For example, do you have any shared connections in your network? Can you interact with them in any way, such as liking or commenting on one of their posts? Or maybe it makes sense to launch an ads campaign targeted at your candidates? Reaching out with even the tiniest existing connection will dramatically increase the chance your recruitment email will stand out in their inbox.
Whether you've built your email list manually or bought it, be sure to validate all addresses to prevent a high bounce rate. You can use dedicated tools like Verifalia or a built-in email validation feature within Reply.
Do your research
Many people think automation is a great way to blast out your email to as many people as possible. But by building your own list of potential candidates for job, you can send out highly targeted emails that will stand out.
Speaking to a friend who receives hundreds of recruitment emails, he complained the vast majority seemed to have made no effort to find out anything beyond his name: "I'd have emails from people asking me to apply for Business Intelligence jobs in finance when a quick look at my profile would show I only work with retail companies."
Go beyond whatever information you already have on your list and take a look online. Most people will have some kind of online profile you can use to double-check your info and find out more. For example, many job candidates will have a LinkedIn account with all their professional experience. If you're looking for coders, try looking at Github. Writers may have their own blog or be publishing on Medium. You get the idea.
Ideally, you want to find out:
- The candidate's past work experience
- Their skills and qualifications
- Their current employment status/position
- Their career goals
The goal is to find any information that's relevant to the job role you're recruiting for. That way you can make sure you're getting in touch with the right person with a recruitment letter template that resonates with them. I've seen failed recruitment emails requiring specific programming knowledge when a brief glance at any of the candidate's online profiles would clearly show they don't know that language. Don't make the same mistake.
Subject lines that get your email opened
It doesn't matter how good your email is if it's never opened. Presuming your email has actually been delivered in the first place (you have verified the email and not gotten yourself blacklisted, right?), the subject line is essential if you want your email to be read.
There are a number of factors you need to consider with a subject line, whatever kind of email you send:
The shorter the better. At Reply, we've found subject lines of 2-6 words to be the most effective. Any more and open rates tend to fall. Remember, longer subject lines will likely have the end cut off, especially if the recipient is checking their emails on a phone. Brevity is always best.
Do: New Analyst Opportunity
Don't: Open now for details on a new analyst opportunity that's perfect for you
Don't try to trick the recipient into opening the email with your subject. While adding a RE: and FWD: or an intriguing subject line might get your email opened, it'll only annoy the recipient if it's misleading or unrelated to the actual email, meaning your emails will head straight to the bin (and possibly be marked as spam).
Do: Python Developer needed
Don't: RE: Immediate action required!
Some sources prove that while using a contact's name in the subject line didn't affect open rates, adding a city name had a positive result. So, if you're looking for location-based staff then it's worth including the corresponding info in your subject line.
Do: Programmer needed in {{City Name}}
Don't: Programmer needed
Read your subject line with a critical eye. If it showed up in your inbox, alongside the other hundred or so emails that day, what would you think? Does it sound legit, or does it sound a bit over the top? As enthusiastic as you are about the job, using the subject line 'once in a lifetime opportunity' or '10x your income' in a cold email will make you sound like the Nigerian 419 scammers. If your subject line sounds too good to be true, then lots of people will assume it is and bin it.
Do: New career opportunity
Don't: Make millions with this fantastic opportunity!!!
Shared Connections
If the recipient was referred to you by a mutual friend, make sure to use their name in the subject line. It's a quick way of building trust and dramatically increasing your open rate.
Do: {{Friend's full name}} said to get in touch
Don't: You've been recommended as a top developer
The bottom line? Experiment with your subject lines to see what works best for you. For example, some have found including emojis increases open rates, but in other sectors it drops them. By following the basic principles, you can then A/B test potential subject lines to finetune them and get the best results.
Bonus Tip: Making a good first impression
Although the subject line is the most important criteria in getting your email opened, there are other things the candidate will see that can affect your open rate. The first is the sender name. People connect with other people, and your prospective candidates are more likely to open your email if the sender details show your name, rather than ABC Recruiting Ltd. Make sure your header information is set up correctly to give the right first impression.
The other thing to check is the message preview: Most email clients will show only a brief preview of an email. Check what shows up in yours. Here are a few from my deleted folder:
- "If you are unable to view this message correctly, click here"
- "View this message in your browser"
- "http://img.randomrecruitmentcompany.com/1234.jpg." (My personal favorite)
In your recipients' minds, this automatically downgrades your email as something impersonal, seriously hurting your open rate. Test your HR email templates to see what comes up and then make sure the preview does its job, either getting straight to your message or customizing it to show a brief summary.
Your email should stand out
Most cold emails are generated automatically, or the content has been copied and pasted from other posts and with only the name of the recipient changed. We've all had emails like this, and we've all deleted them straight away.
For a start, make sure your email doesn't stand out for the wrong reasons. Failed merge fields can destroy your campaign, but they're easy to fix if you take the time to check your email. Similarly, if you have copied and pasted parts of your email, make sure it's all formatted the same (having different parts of your message in different fonts is a dead giveaway).
On the other hand, your cold email will be better than 99% of the others if you can demonstrate you've put some effort into it. It's highly important you include evidence so people can see they're not just another entry in a database. For example, you could include a comment on professional performance at the conference, a recent corporate blog post, or company achievement, as illustrated in this cool email template.
Subject: Looking for the best Ruby engineer to join ABC Inc
Hi {{FirstName}},
My name is Jason and I am CEO at ABC Inc. I found your profile on GitHub while looking for the top engineers with Ruby experience. I was impressed by your background and decided to drop you a note.
You probably don't often see CEOs reaching out to potential candidates to discuss career opportunities. But our company success so far is based on finding the best people and putting them together to work on fun, challenging, and exciting projects. That's why I focus a lot of my personal time on recruiting the greatest talents for our company.
We might have a position to tell you about, but that conversation can't begin until we listen to you first and make sure we are on the same page.
Please, let me know if you're interested to learn more and I will connect you with someone from our team.
Personalize your message
As well as saving you time and resources by sending out your offer only to relevant people, carrying out research allows you to personalize your message. While some may suggest dropping in obscure and irrelevant details you've found out ('I see you used to play the triangle in high school. Me too!'), in my experience this only makes you sound like a creepy stalker.
Instead, I recommend using relevant information that makes it clear you've actually done your homework and gone beyond the surface-level information. The following recruitment template does just that:
Hi {{FirstName}},
I'm Jason and I found your profile on LinkedIn while was looking for the best content marketers out there.
I saw that you're currently at {{Company}}, but wanted to reach out in case you're open to a new opportunity.
We are looking to hire a content marketing manager with a starting salary of {{Salary}} with equity options. We just closed our series B of funding {{Link to announcement}} and we're looking to develop our content playbook as a channel for user acquisition. Our team would like to talk to you more and have you lead our content team to help us jump-start those efforts.
Would you like to learn more?
Or you might choose to go with an even more personal job opportunity email template:
Hi {{FirstName}},
I was browsing through the top Java developers in the Toronto area on LinkedIn and came across your profile. Checked your Github profile too — impressive work on {{Project}}.
You look like a perfect fit for our engineering team at {{Company}}, so I thought we should get in touch.
Do you have the time for a quick chat this week?
If you can't resist bringing up some non-related stuff in your sourcing emails, make sure to make it relevant to your offer.
Hey {{FirstName}},
{{Your Name}} here from {{Company}}.
I noticed that you're not just a {{Skill}} expert, but a huge football enthusiast too!
We have an all-star football team here at {{Company}} — and a few job openings in {{Department}} that would be a perfect fit for you 🙂
If that sounds like something you would like to consider, let's set up a time to chat.
Use the power of visuals
Another way to make sure your staffing email template stands out is to include a visual — image, GIF, or video. This could be just a photo of your office or team (e.g. from the football practice mentioned in the template above), a funny picture or even a relatable meme, or whatever feels appropriate.
You can even add a dash of creativity and personalize the image. That would be a perfect combo to catch the recipient's attention. No worries, you can still automate your outreach using Reply and Hyperise integration 😉
If you have some time on your hands, go ahead and record a short video using tools like Vidyard or Loom. This could be especially handy when trying to reach top-tier candidates, the C-suite execs, or simply outstanding specialists. I am pretty sure that most of them would notice and appreciate your effort and at least take a second to drop you a line in response!
Check your tone of voice
When it comes to recruiting emails, most people write with all the personality of cardboard. Even the most outgoing recruiters seem to suddenly have a personality transplant the second they sit down to write an email. When we're communicating though, it's not just what we say but how we say it that makes a difference. The tone of voice you use in your email may be the deciding factor on whether or not you get a response.
For instance, even the tone of your opening can have a big effect.
There's a world of difference between "Dear Mr. Stark," and "Hey Tony." A long-established traditional company looking for professional Gen X candidates will benefit from the first greeting. On the other hand, a disruptive start-up looking for millennials or Gen Z candidates would probably go for the latter.
Either way, this is about more than just the greeting you use. Your entire email should reflect your brand if you want to attract the right kind of candidate.
Don't explain what the company does
People's time is precious, and explaining the basics is just a waste of that time.
If the candidate is familiar with the company, they already know what you do.
If they are hearing about the company/project for the first time, giving a detailed explanation of your history would simply turn your email into a bloated copy of what everyone else is sending, most likely destined for the trash.
Either way, filling your email with a detailed company history and profile is only going to hurt your reply rates.
If you're not sure whether the candidate knows your brand, simply include several words about what your company deals with or just indicate the area of industry. That will be completely enough.
Subject: Love your {{Project Name}} project on GitHub
Hey {{FirstName}},
I'm an engineer at {{Company}}. I came across your GitHub profile and really liked your {{Project name}} project. I wanted to see if you'd be interested in working with us at {{Company}} — if you're up for it, I'd love to grab a virtual coffee next week to chat.
Best regards,
If you're sure that your company name won't ring a bell, you could go with something more informative. This would be especially appropriate when reaching out to technical specialists regarding the job at an innovative startup or company with an advanced tech stack.
Hi {{FirstName}},
I lead talent acquisition at {{Company}}. Our team is looking for a passionate {{Role}} with expertise in {{Technology or Skill}}. After coming across your LinkedIn profile, I believe you would be a great fit.
We're building {{Product Specifics/Stack}}. Does that sound like something you would be interested to learn more about?
I look forward to hearing from you!
Be Brief
I get it. You're sending your email and you want to make sure they know absolutely everything they might need to make their decision. So you start off with your company info (see tip #8 to remind yourself why this is a bad idea), the job description, the start date, all the benefits, and your pet policy.
Remember your objective is to get them to make contact, not sign a contract. That means keeping your message to the minimum needed to get your point across. If someone opens your email and they see an essay, then your email will be saved for later (AKA never seen ever again).
Sure, drop a link in with further details the candidate can check out if they choose to, but don't overwhelm them.
Hi {{First Name}},
I wanted to get in touch to find out if you are keeping half an eye open for a new job?
I'm looking for developers urgently for a client of ours in the {{Location}} area and wondered if this may be of interest to you...Let me know
Kind regards
That's a grand total of 52 words, which gives the prospective candidate exactly enough information to take the next step and get in touch if they're interested. Also notice how the email fits in a small amount of personalization, acknowledging the candidate is already in a job and asking if they're interested in a new one. As a rule, aim for a message of between 50 and 125 words for the optimal response rate.
Keep it simple and clear
If you want your recruitment emails to get results, it's important they're clear and understandable.
Of course, you wouldn't set out to write an incomprehensible email. However, people often unintentionally write emails that are difficult to understand. This might be because they're including jargon or leaving out important details.
One reason is the curse of knowledge. When you're in the middle of an industry or you've worked with a particular organization for years, it's easy to take for granted certain terms and phrases that you're familiar with. Most jobs come with their own particular vocabulary, but they're a different language to anyone else.
While certain industry-specific terms may be appropriate in a recruitment email (e.g. talking about the need for double-entry book-keeping to a potential accountant recruit or object-oriented programming to a coder), look out for jargon terms or buzzwords. Even if the candidate can understand you, 60% of candidates find jargon annoying. Telling them you're looking for a growth-hacking ninja could get your email deleted.
The second problem comes from writing to impress, rather than inform.
It's easy for recruiters to try and show off how clever they are with their expanded vocabulary. Unfortunately, this doesn't work so well when you're trying to establish a connection with a potential recruit.
Instead, keep things simple and clear in your cold recruiting email template. Studies have found emails written to a 3rd-grade reading level are more likely to get a response.
Hi {{First Name}},
{{Your Name}} from {{Company}} here!
We are looking to add a {{Role}} to our team in {{Location}}. I noticed that you have a background in {{Industry/Role}}, I believe you could be a great fit.
Would love to tell you more about what we're offering.
Are you up for a quick chat this week?
Remember: WIIFM?
One of the important rules of cold email copywriting is to put yourself in your prospect's shoes. If you're trying to sell something, ask why your prospective customers should care. When you're writing a recruitment email, you're effectively trying to "sell" them on a job opening, so ask yourself why your potential recruit should care.
What are you offering that they care about?
In effect, your candidate has only one question on their mind while they read your email: 'What's in it for me?' You might be proud of the latest award your company received, but does that actually mean anything to a candidate?
To make sure the whole email is relevant to your prospective candidate, imagine them asking "so what?" at the end of every sentence you've written. If the benefit to them isn't self-explanatory, make it clear why they should care. If there is no benefit, then cut the sentence altogether.
So what does matter to your potential recruits? Younger candidates are more likely to care about company values and how they fit in with their world-view, while more millennials are looking for fulfillment. Yet, salary is still the most important criterion for many.
Bonus tip: What's your unique value proposition for candidates? Most companies focus on what unique value they offer to customers. Why should someone buy from them and not their competitors? As someone responsible for recruiting, it's your job to establish your unique value to candidates. Why should they work for you rather than your competitors? If you're promising the same old benefits all your competitors are offering, you're not giving them any reason to pick you.
Hey {{First Name}},
We're hiring {{Role}} here at {{Company}} and there are at least 3 reasons why I think you might be interested in this offer:
- {{Reason 1, e.g. telecommuting/remote work}}
- {{Reason 2, e.g. being able to build your own team from scratch}}
- {{Reason 3, e.g. childcare benefits}}
I'd love to tell you a little more about the role — can we chat tomorrow?
Your main goal is to schedule a call/meeting
Any verbal communication is still considered to be much more effective than even the most informative correspondence. In the case of hiring a prospective candidate, the situation is the same.
If you're hoping your prospective candidate is going to read your message and immediately sign up to be on your team, I've got bad news for you. People generally don't make that kind of decision off the back of one single email. Instead, the goal of the message should be getting the recipient to agree to meet up or jump on a call. Here's a recruiting email template you can use in this case.
Subject: New career opportunity
Hi {{FirstName}},
I know a little bit about your background and had some ideas in mind. However, I work differently, and if you are open to chatting I'd like to begin with a dialogue instead of a pitch selling you a job. We might have a position to tell you about, but that conversation can't begin until we listen to you first and make sure we are on the same page.
I realize that my email may or may not have arrived at the right time. However, my goal is to connect with and understand an outstanding individual's professional frustrations/aspirations and then align those needs with the startup that can best fit or help achieve that person's goals.
What's the best way for us to connect?
There's a lot this email template for recruiters does right, but the subtle personalization is what we're focusing on. The email starts by explaining why you're emailing, and how you found out about them. Saying you found their profile on LinkedIn shows a perfect balance of professional interest. They're not just another name on a list you bought off a dodgy dealer, and you're also not stalking their Facebook feed to see what they had for breakfast last January.
The employment email template also demonstrates that research by showing you're aware of their employment status and have acknowledged it.
Show your recipients you've made an effort and you'll stand a better chance of getting their attention. Just because you're sending a cold email, it doesn't mean the content has to be cold.
Remember the CTA
Whether your goal is to engage a prospect or find employees your email template should always have good call-to-action. Looking through all the templates so far, notice how they all end with what action the candidate should take next.
- Would you like to learn more?
- What's the best way for us to connect?
- if you're up for it, I'd love to grab coffee next week to chat.
Two of these take the form of a question, which is a great way to increase your chances of getting a response. Keep it simple. Remember, the goal is for them to get in touch, so don't complicate your CTA with anything else ('Learn more about the job details here, and connect with me on LinkedIn and Facebook, and don't forget to read our company history. Oh, btw, would you like to get in touch?').
Make the most of your signature
When you're writing an email, it's important to make every word count. That's why a long-winded introduction to you and your company is self-defeating. However, you can say a lot by making the most of your email signature.
First of all, always identify yourself by including your name and your job title. Receiving an email from a clearly identified person, as opposed to an anonymous company rep, makes the email more personal and promotes engagement. By giving them a name they can Google, you're that much more likely to make an impression.
You can also use your HTML signature to link to relevant information (such as an 'About' page or LinkedIn profile), where they can learn more if they want to.
Thirdly, you can include a brief description of the company, maybe highlighting the value prop.
Steve Rogers
Head of Recruitment @ The Avengers
Top-rated company for advancement opportunities.
BTW, the same applies to your email template for reaching out to hiring manager as a candidate.
Just don't go over the top. I've received emails where the signature was twice the size of the email, with half the page made up of meaningless logos and awards. Keep it short and sweet to make the most of your signatures.
Bonus tip: Did you know a P.S. is one of the most read (and remembered) parts of an email? While we may scan and skip our way through an email, we're more likely to check out the P.S. If you have one thing you want your candidate to take away, consider using your postscript to make the point.
Follow up
In a recent post on why your emails aren't generating replies, William our SDR Lead shared how 3-4 follow-up emails can dramatically increase reply rates. This doesn't have to be complicated for your recruitment follow-ups. For example, be it for recruitment or email marketing templates, your first follow-up might look a little something like this:
Is the below of any interest to you?
How can you get away with less than 10 words? Because the purpose of a follow-up email is purely to direct the recipient's attention to the previous email. Nothing more, nothing less. You're not repeating yourself, not when your first email already does all that work for you.
Here are some tips to make your recruiter follow-up email template effective:
- Refer to your previous touchpoint - "I've tried to contact you last week but haven't heard from you yet."
- Offer some more details about the company and role - "BTW, we've recently closed a seed round with {{Investor}} and are ready to scale, so you will be in for a ride!"
- Show your interest in them and why you think they would be a good fit. - "Considering your previous success with {{Achievement}}, how would you like to take on the new challenge with us?"
Another smart follow-up strategy is to try and make it easier for the candidate to respond to your email:
Hi {{First Name}},
Thought I should give it one more try and reach out regarding the career opportunity at {{Company}}.
I believe your background is perfect for this job, so pardon my persistence.
Since I haven't heard back yet, I assume you're either:
1. Interested but too busy right now (and want me to follow up in a few weeks)
2. Not interested (and don't want to hear from me again)
Please, respond with "1" or "2" so I know how to proceed.
For your follow-up message to make sense, you obviously have to send it in the same thread as the original email. This also saves the candidate from having to search through their inbox for your previous email (spoiler alert: they won't bother) and shows this is a legitimate follow-up.
Connect across multiple channels
Just like sales outreach, your sourcing campaigns would be much better off if you go multichannel, i.e. add some additional touchpoints outside of email.
LinkedIn is probably the first channel you should be considering for that purpose. After all, if you have discovered the prospect there, why not touch base right away? And that doesn't mean sending a connection request or InMail with the job offer. Just look through their profile, like or comment on their recent post, or see if there are any mutual connections.
First, this will help you build awareness so that once your email hits their inbox you won't seem a complete stranger. Secondly, this will give you a good reason for outreach as well as the necessary info to personalize your message.
Hey {{FirstName}},
I've stumbled upon your post on {{Topic}} through a mutual connection on LinkedIn. Wanted to say that I was impressed with the insights you've shared. It seems that you are really keen on {{Matter}}.
That made me think that you would be a great fit for {{Role}} we're currently hiring for at {{Company}}.
Do you have 15 minutes to discuss this opportunity tomorrow?
Sometimes it also makes sense to pick up the phone and dial the candidate directly. For example, if they have viewed your email more than 5 times or accepted your request on LinkedIn.
Always analyze your email campaign data
Reaching out to potential employees is similar to the process of sales, and as in sales, the analysis of this type of communication will help you make the right conclusion and develop a script that is going to bring you the best results possible.

Aims. We aim to constrain the location, composition, and dynamical state of planetesimal populations and dust around the young, sun-like (G2 V) star HD 107146.
Methods. We consider coronagraphic observations obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (HST/ACS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in broad V (λc ≈ 0.6 μm) and broad I (λc ≈ 0.8 μm) filters, a resolved 1.3 mm map obtained with the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA), Spitzer/IRS low resolution spectra in the range of 7.6 μm to 37.0 μm, and the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the object at wavelengths ranging from 3.5 μm to 3.1 mm. We complement these data with new coronagraphic high resolution observations of the debris disk using the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (HST/NICMOS) aboard the HST in the F110W filter (λc ≈ 1.1 μm). The SED and images of the disk in scattered light as well as in thermal reemission are combined in our modeling using a parameterized model for the disk density distribution and optical properties of the dust.
Results. A detailed analytical model of the debris disk around HD 107146 is presented that allows us to reproduce the almost entire set of spatially resolved and unresolved multi-wavelength observations. Considering the variety of complementary observational data, we are able to break the degeneracies produced by modeling SED data alone. We find the disk to be an extended ring with a peak surface density at 131 AU. Furthermore, we find evidence for an additional, inner disk probably composed of small grains released at the inner edge of the outer disk and moving inwards due to Poynting-Robertson drag. A birth ring scenario (i.e., a more or less broad ring of planetesimals creating the dust disk trough collisions) is found to be the most likely explanation of the ringlike shape of the disk.

Are you planning to renovate your home? Get your finances in order with these tips
Home renovation is becoming increasingly popular as homeowners seek to improve the livability, comfort and value of their homes. According to a recent study by Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies, home improvement spending could hit an all-time high in 2023.

Once you know how much money you need, the next step is to find the right online loan for you. There are many different types of loans online, so it's important to compare rates and terms before choosing one.
You should also consider the fees associated with each loan. Some online lenders may charge origination fees or prepayment penalties, so be sure to read the fine print before signing anything.
Once you've found the right loan for your home improvement project, it's time to start planning your renovations. With a little planning and these tips, you can finance your home improvement project stress-free.
Consider taking out an online loan for your home improvement project.
Home improvement project, you can consider taking out a loan online. Online loans such as CitrusNorth can be a great option for home improvement projects because they often have lower interest rates than traditional loans and can be repaid over a shorter period. Plus, you can usually get pre-approved for a loan online in just a few minutes.
Here are some tips from Torben A. Carlsen of CitrusNorth to help you get started:
-Check your credit score: Your credit score is one of the most important factors lenders will consider when you apply for a loan, so it's important to know your score before you apply. You can get a free version of the credit report from all three major credit bureaus each year.
– Shop around: There are many online lenders to choose from, so it's important to compare rates and terms before deciding. Be sure to look at the total cost of the loan, not just the interest rate.

Finally, home equity loans or lines of credit can also be used to fund home improvement projects. These loans can often offer lower interest rates than other types of loans, but they usually require you to post your home as collateral.
Whichever option you choose, it's important to compare the rates and terms of multiple lenders before making a decision. By doing your research and shopping around, you can ensure that you get the best possible deal on your home improvement loan.

Office of the Press Secretary
Letter from President Clinton on Iran
I hereby report to the Congress on developments concerning the national emergency with respect to Iran that was declared in Executive Order No. 12957 of March 15, 1995, and matters relating to Executive Order No. 12959 of May 6, 1995. This report is submitted pursuant to section 204(c) of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1703(c) (IEEPA), and section 505(c) of the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1985, 22 U.S.C. 2349aa-9(c). This report discusses only matters concerning the national emergency with respect to Iran that was declared in Executive Order No. 12957 and matters relating to Executive Order No. 12959.
Following the imposition of these restrictions with regard to the development of Iranian petroleum resources, Iran continued to engage in activities that represent a threat to the peace and security of all nations, including Iran's continuing support for international terrorism, its support for acts that undermine the Middle East peace process, and its intensified efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction. On May 6, 1995, I issued Executive order No. 12959 to further respond to the Iranian threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.
Executive Order No. 12959 (60 Fed. Reg, 24757, May 9, 1995) (1) prohibits exportation from the United States to Iran or to the Government of Iran of goods, technology, or services; (2) prohibits the reexportation of certain U.S. goods and technology to Iran from third countries; (3) prohibits transactions such as brokering and other dealing by United States persons in goods and services of Iranian origin or owned or controlled by the Government of Iran; (4) prohibits new investments by United States persons in Iran or in property owned or controlled by the Government of Iran; (5) prohibits U.S. companies and other United States persons from approving, facilitating, or financing performance by a foreign subsidiary or other entity owned or controlled by a United States person of transactions that a United States person is prohibited from performing; (6) continues the 1987 prohibition on the importation into the United States of goods and services of Iranian origin; (7) prohibits any transactio n by any United States person or within the United States that evades or avoids or attempts to violate any prohibition of the order; and (8) allowed U.S. companies a 30-day period in which to perform trade transactions pursuant to contracts predating the Executive order.
In Executive Order No. 12959, I directed the Secretary of the Treasury to authorize through licensing certain transactions, including transactions by United States persons related to the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal in The Hague, established pursuant to the Algiers Accords, and other international obligations and United States Government functions. Such transactions also include the export of agricultural commodities pursuant to preexisting contracts consistent with section 5712(c) Of title 7, United States Code. I also directed the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to consider authorizing United States persons through specific licensing to participate in market-based swaps of crude oil from the Caspian Sea area for Iranian crude oil in support of energy projects in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan.
Executive Order No. 12959 revokes sections 1 and 2 of Executive Order No. 12613 of October 29, 1987, and sections 1 and 2 of Executive Order No. 12957 of March 15, 1995, to the extent they are inconsistent with it. A copy of Executive Order No. 12959 was transmitted to the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House by letter dated May 6, 1995.
2. In its implementation of the sanctions imposed against Iran pursuant to Executive Order No. 12959, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (FAC) of the Department of the Treasury has issued 12 general licenses and two general notices authorizing various transactions otherwise prohibited by the Executive order or providing statements of licensing policy. In order to ensure the widest dissemination of the general licenses and general notices in advance of promulgation of amended regulations, FAC published them in the Federal Register on August 10, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 40881). in addition, FAC disseminated this information by its traditional methods such as electronic bulletin boards, FAX, and mail. Copies of these general licenses and general notices are attached to this report.
General License No. 1 described those transactions which were authorized in connection with the June 6, 1995, delayed effective date contained in Executive Order No. 12959 for trade transactions related to pre-May 7 trade contracts. General License No. 2 authorized payments to or from Iran under certain circumstances and certain dollar clearing transactions involving Iran by U.S. financial institutions. General License No. 3 authorized the exportation of certain services by U.S. financial institutions with respect to accounts held for persons in Iran, the Government of Iran, or entities owned or controlled by the Government of Iran. General License No. 3 also contained an annex identifying 13 Iranian banks and 62 of their branches, agencies, representative offices, regional offices, and subsidiaries as owned or controlled by the Government of Iran. General License No. 4 authorized (1) domestic transactions involving Iranian-origin goods already within the United States except for transactions involving the Government of Iran or an entity owned or controlled by the Government of Iran, and (2) transactions by United States persons necessary to effect the disposition of Iranian-origin goods or services located or to be performed outside the United States, provided that they were acquired by that United States person in transactions not prohibited by the order or by 31 C.F.R. Part 560, that such disposition does not result in the importation of these goods or services into the United States, and that such transactions are completed prior to August 6, 1995, General License No. 5 authorized the importation into the United States of information and informational materials, confirmed the exemption of such information from the ban on exportation from the United States, and set forth a licensing policy for the exportation of equipment necessary to establish news wire feeds or other transmissions of information. General License No. 6 authorized the importation into the United States and the exportation to Iran of diplomatic pouches and their contents. General License No. 7 provided a statement of licensing policy for consideration, on a case-by-case basis, to authorize the establishment and operation of news organization offices in Iran by U.S. organizations whose primary purpose is the gathering and dissemination of news to the general public. General License No. 8 authorized transactions in connection with the exportation of agricultural commodities pursuant to pre-May 7 trade contacts provided that the terms of such contract require delivery of the commodity prior to February 2, 1996. General License No. 9 authorized import, export, and service transactions necessary to the conduct of official business by the Missions of the Government of Iran to international organizations and the Iranian Interests Section of the Embassy of Pakistan in the United States. General License No. 10 provided a statement of licensing policy with respect to transactions incident to the resolution of disputes between the United States or U.S. nationals and the Government of Iran in international tribunals and domestic courts in the United States and Abroad. General License No. 11 authorized the exportation of household goods and personal effects for persons departing from the United States to relocate in Iran. General License No. 12 authorized the provision of certain legal services to the Government of Iran or to a person in Iran and the receipt of payment therefor under certain circumstances.
General Notice No. 1 described information required in connection with an application for a specific license to complete the performance of Pre-May 7 trade contracts prior to August 6, 1995 (except with respect to agricultural commodities as provided by General License No. 8). General Notice No. 2 indicated that the Department of the Treasury had authorized the U.S. agencies of Iranian banks to complete, through December 29, 1995, transactions for U.S. exporters involving letters of credit, which they issued, confirmed, or advised prior to June 6, 1995, provided that the underlying export was completed in accordance with the terms of General License No. 1 or a specific license issued to the exporter by FAC. General Notice No. 2 also noted that the U.S. agencies of the Iranian banks were authorized to offer discounted advance payments on deferred payment letters of credit, which they issued, confirmed, or advised, provided that the same criteria are met.
3. The Iranian Transactions Regulations, 31 CFR Part 560 (the "ITR"), have been comprehensively amended to implement the provisions of Executive Orders No. 12957 and No. 12959. The amended ITR were issued by FAC on September 11, 1995 (60 Fed. Reg. 47061-74) and incorporate, with some modifications, the General Licenses cited above. A copy of the amended regulations is attached to this report.
4. In consultation with the Department of State, FAC reviewed applications for specific licenses to permit continued performance of trade contracts entered into prior to May 7, 1995. It issued more than 100 such licenses allowing performance to continue up to August 6, 1995.
5. The expenses incurred by the federal government in the 6-month period from March 15 through September 14, 1995, that are directly attributable to the exercise of powers and authorities conferred by the declaration of a national emergency with respect to Iran are approximately $875,000, most of which represents wage and salary costs for Federal personnel. Personnel costs were largely centered in the Department of the Treasury (particularly in the Office of Foreign Assets Control, the Customs Service, the Office of the Under Secretary for Enforcement, and the Office of the General Counsel), the Department of State (particularly the bureau of Economic and Business Affairs, the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, the Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs, and the Office of the Legal Adviser), and the Department of Commerce (the Bureau of Export Administration and the General Counsel's Office).
6. The situation reviewed above continues to involve important diplomatic, financial, and legal interests of the United States and its nationals and presents an extraordinary and unusual threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. The declaration of the national emergency with respect to Iran contained in Executive order No. 12957 and the comprehensive economic sanctions imposed by executive Order No. 12959 underscore the United States Governments opposition to the actions and policies of the Government of Iran, particularly its support of international terrorism and its efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them. The Iranian Transactions Regulations issued pursuant to Executive Orders No. 12957 and No. 12959 continue to advance important objectives in promoting the nonproliferation and antiterrorism policies of the United States, I shall exercise the powers at my disposal to deal with these problems and will report periodically to the Congress on significant developments.

One of those films you miss the theater-run of, slightly forget about until they pop up somewhere and trigger the "Didn't I want to see this?"-thought. Maybe I should start a To Be Watched list.
The shoplifters don't just shoplift goods. This is a mild spoiler that won't make sense until the end of the film. In the beginning of it, it's just a poor family adopting a neglected toddler. Like in 10 Minutes it is shown that you can create your own family – this one is just built on much less sturdy foundations.
The funny thing is that for a long time little seems wrong with those foundations. Yes, some dodgy things happen and what are the exact relationships between everyone but by golly: at least they try t stay upright in a society that doesn't even notice that it keeps kicking them down.
I'm also impressed by the acting and the thin balance between sharing and silence – it never gets annoying that we don't know everything (yet). Except for that one story line; I must have missed the clues here. Or it was simply shoplifted from the story: everything and -one can clearly be.

With Kevin not able to make it this week so he could tend to some family business, I decided it would be best to push forward the any way that we could. This meant me choosing to play bass and leaving it up to Rich to find a lead guitarist. He found Fred and we were off. Scott also took this opportunity to invite Steve, the bass player from the Eleven Band we both played in from 12 years ago, to also play lead guitar. Ironic that I was to play bass and Steve was to play lead, but that is the entree the chef served, and it was to our liking. There music was pretty good.
With all this potential strangeness in the jam, Lee decided to take the week off at the last moment so he could tend to his new abode. Probably a mistake on his part as the music was strong and solid. This left Scott and me to hold down the rhythm of the band with the Deadstein regulars of Rich and Alan.
Since I was playing bass I wasn't going to sing too much but Fred and Steve also helped out on some vocals. I did manage to sing the West LA and the One More Saturday Night. From the recording perspective I made a blunder in that I disabled the recording on my bass track after the warmup jam and I didn't realize it until the second set. Fortunately it was me and no one else in the band and I was able to over dub the bass for the firsts et at home. The bass in the second set is as was played at the jam. For me it was a fun and interesting night of music. A great opportunity to try my hand at playing bass which is a lot of fun. The Cumberland was really fun to do and the Other One was also a blast.
In the world the Grateful Dead just are off of the successful celebration of the 50-year career with the Fare the Well shows in Chicago. Scott was still buzzing from the shows just a few days ago. Until we freak again, Freak Out!
And from Scott's perspective.

The Evolution of Sustainable Business
"Sustainability" describes principles that minimize negative environmental and social impacts, both now and in the future. Businesses are increasingly adopting sustainability principles, and their reasons for their doing so are continually evolving. Sustainability principles are not directly compelled by law. Meanwhile, a prescription for attaining sustainable business remains somewhat elusive. ISO 14000 may offer the most rigorously-developed guidelines. ASHRAE Standard 100-2006, entitled Energy Conservation in Existing Buildings, attempts to prescribe sustainability principles for a more narrowly-defined audience.
"Sustainability" emerged as a business buzzword in the 1990s. The first business leaders to embrace the concept may have done so primarily for boosting their companies' public images. If so, then their investments in waste recycling and resource conservation may have been perceived as a way to grow their companies' value, as reflected in the goodwill line item on their balance sheets.
In 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was signed into U.S. federal law in response to recent examples of egregious corporate fraud. Stated broadly, the Act attempts to ensure higher standards of corporate responsibility, especially regarding financial and accounting liabilities. Since environmental performance can have enormous financial implications, corporate sustainability programs emerged as a tool for offsetting the risk of failing to meet regulatory scrutiny. In other words, by investing in sustainability initiatives, corporations insured themselves against regulatory non-compliance.
Fast-forward to today. Popular awareness of climate change is influencing consumers' purchasing behavior. A growing number of consumers demand products and services that offer a reduced "environmental footprint." Wal-Mart advances the sustainability concept by challenging its suppliers to wring as much waste as possible from their manufacturing and distribution efforts. Eaton Corporation, a diversified manufacturer of auto and aircraft components, recently joined the Green Suppliers' Network, so that its suppliers could coordinate efforts to "improve processes, increase energy efficiency, implement cost-saving opportunities and optimize use of required resources to eliminate waste." For suppliers, then, investment in sustainability programs becomes the cost of gaining access to markets… or perhaps the cost of simply staying in business.

Lawrence Joseph Ellison is one of the most remarkable people in tech. From being an adventurer and adrenaline junkie to a licensed aircraft pilot, the founder and chairman of Oracle – one of the most valued tech brands in the world – is known for his lavish lifestyle. Born in Bronx, New York, Ellison was only nine months old when he came down with pneumonia and his mother sent him to Chicago to live with his uncle and aunt, who adopted him.
Ellison turned out to be a bright student, excelling in math and science. However, his education life was a little unsteady; he enrolled at the University of Illinois, Champaign, where he won science student of the year. However, he dropped out of college and enrolled at the University of Chicago, but dropped out of there, too. He then headed to California and switched from job to job, and along the way, picked up basic computer skills, which he finally used at Amdahl as a programmer.
Ellison was inspired by a paper on relational database systems and while working for Ampex Corporation, his projects consisted a database for the CIA, which he named Oracle. He founded Software Development Labs with Robert Miner and Ed Oates and then, renamed the firm Relational Software. They soon rebranded as Oracle Systems Corporation and then turned to Oracle Corporation. Oracle flourished quickly and in 1986, the company had its IPO, with revenue of $55 million.
A trait that makes Ellison such an accomplished leader is that the billionaire never chased money – all that mattered to him was to work with interesting people. Oracle started out with four employees and its goal was to get to 50 employees, and not so much as to make a lot of money. The company worked for a lot of different tech companies in Silicon Valley and before Ellison knew it, Oracle had built a product.
Besides this, the technology mogul has always given importance to standing out. "If you do everything everyone else does in business, you're going to lose," he says, "The only way to get ahead is to be different."
Above all of his vast realm, Ellison has given back to society, too. He has donated up to 1% of his wealth to charity and has signed The Giving Pledge. He has also donated $200 million to establish a cancer research center called the Lawrence J Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine of USC.
From a young boy who seemed unfocused to flying high into becoming a world-class leader, Ellison is always set out to discover his limits and is looking to do more, with a great deal of passion within.

Prescription Drug Trends and Their Effect on Health Plan Costs - Part Two
3 minute read time
Part two of a two‐part series for employers facing rising drug costs
Between 1999 and 2015, health insurance premiums for employer‐sponsored plans soared 203 percent, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. One of the drivers of those increases is rising prescription drug costs. Drug costs spiked in 2014, explains Pam Olson, Employee Benefits Account Executive, Johnson Insurance. "In 2014, prescription costs went from 3 to 4 percent annual increases to 10.2 percent," she notes, adding, "2014 also saw a 19.2 percent rise in specialty drug costs."
Continuing pharmacy increases forecast
The Kaiser Family Foundation projected that prescription drug costs would be approximately 10 percent of total health costs for plans in 2017, and the percentage is forecasted to increase slightly over the next several years. In 2017, specialty drug costs are projected to account for 35 percent of overall prescription drug spending by health plans. With double‐digit annual increases, this may exceed 50 percent by 2020.*
Strategies to face the challenges
Health plans have employed strategies to control rising prescription costs. Consider these approaches, and be sure to read part one of this series for more cost‐controlling ideas.
Use Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) clinical programs:
- Prior authorization – helps ensure appropriate, safe use of medications by requiring authorization prior to covering the cost of expensive, high‐risk medications that are subject to off‐label, experimental or improper use.
- Step therapy – requires trial of a preferred alternative before a higher‐cost, non‐preferred drug is covered within selected therapeutic categories.
- Quantity limits – restricts the quantity of selected drugs to minimize waste and ensure prescribing consistent with Food and Drug Administration and manufacturer dosing guidelines.
- Specialty split‐fill program – limits the covered amount of a specialty medication being used by a member for the first time. Instead of a 30‐day supply, members might receive a 15‐day supply for half the copay. It limits waste on medications that don't work as desired for that patient.
- Concurrent and retrospective drug utilization review – identifies trends in pharmacy claims to enhance patient safety. For example, these reviews can help detect potential drug interactions or plan members who may be doctor shopping for opioid prescriptions.
- Disease management programs – improve the health of members with specific chronic conditions and reduce costs associated with avoidable complications.
- Adherence monitoring – aims to reduce the number of patients, estimated at 25 percent or more, who don't take their medications as prescribed. Increased medication adherence can provide significant health benefits and reduce overall health care costs.
Additional opportunities to manage prescription drug costs
- Make use of a specialty pharmacy for specialty drugs mandatory. "Requiring use of a specific specialty pharmacy can provide better care with education, monitoring and outreach programs to support the member and his/her physician," Olson explains. Mandatory use of a specialty pharmacy can also provide deeper discounts which result in lower out‐of‐pocket expenses for the member and lower costs for the plan, compared with retail pharmacies. Specialty pharmacies are also better equipped to meet the requirements for proper storage and shipment of these high‐cost specialty drugs.
- Choose a PBM with fraud, waste and abuse prevention programs. As intermediaries between insurers and the health care industry, pharmacy benefit managers are well‐positioned to monitor prescription drug usage to help keep pharmacy costs down by identifying fraud, waste and abuse with prescription drugs.

Abstract: Lemon (Citrus limon) fruit is used for culinary and non-culinary purposes throughout the world. In traditional medicine, lemon fruit juice is used as home remedy for a variety of gastrointestinal disorders. This study evaluates the effect of lemon juice on gastric and duodenal ulcers and determines its interaction with conventionally used antiulcer drugs; pantoprazole and ranitidine. The antiulcer activity of lemon juice at two different doses and its interaction antiulcer agents was evaluated in acetic acid induced chronic gastric ulcer, pylorus ligation induced gastric ulcer, ethanol induced gastric ulcer, stress induced gastric ulcer, indomethacin induced gastric ulcer and cysteamine induced duodenal ulcer models. In all these models, the common parameter determined was ulcer index. The lemon juice produced marginal ulcer healing effect and augmented the ulcer healing effect of pantoprazole and ranitidine in acetic acid induced chronic gastric ulcers, while in pylorus ligated rats, lemon juice demonstrated gastric antisecretory and antiulcer effect. Both doses of lemon juice also showed significant antiulcer effect in ethanol induced, stress induced and indomethacin induced gastric ulcers. The lemon juice also reduced ulcer area in cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcer. Lemon juice possesses dose dependent antiulcer effect and augments the antiulcer action pantoprazole and ranitidine in rats.

Spiralling court cases: Teachers' bodies welcome govt move
The joint action committee of FUTAB and FUSTAB has welcomed the initiative taken at the level of chief secretary and cabinet coordination department to identify reasons behind spiraling court cases as well as contempt proceedings in different departments.
The joint action committee of federation of university teachers' associations of Bihar (FUTAB) and federation of university service teachers' association of Bihar (FUSTAB) has welcomed the initiative taken at the level of chief secretary and cabinet coordination department to identify reasons behind spiraling court cases as well as contempt proceedings in different departments.
The education department has the dubious distinction of being among the front ranking departments facing nearly 3,000 court cases, including nearly 500 contempt cases.
Some of the litigations have continued for over a decade, with the department and the universities unable to resolve them.
The joint conveners of JAC, Dr Sanjay Kumar Singh and Dr Dilip Choudhury said that some elements in the education department had developed expertise in not only misleading the state cabinet but also distorting cabinet decisions to create unnecessary misunderstanding.
Citing two recent issues, they said that the re-designated demonstrators on the basis of apex court order had been granted status of teachers vide government notification on June 14, 2006, but its non- implementation led to several writ petitions and ultimately contempt proceedings".
"While the contempt case is pending, some weird interpretation of statutes were placed before the state cabinet, which decided to withdraw the earlier order and a fresh notification was issued bringing the re-designated demonstrators back into the non-teaching fold. As a result, several of them have retired," they added.
Maintaining, that the high court has stayed the order, they said, "Now the government finds itself in an awkward situation of defending its action in the stay proceeding as well as contempt petition which is also underway. When the facts were explained to the education minister PKSahi, he agreed with the federation's view and assured to reconsider and review the government decision. A detailed memorandum was also placed by the federation," they added.
The distortion in cabinet decisions came to light when the education department sent draft notification for grant of pension and other benefits to retired teachers and employees of the universities to the finance department. The draft denied time bound promotion benefits to the pensioners.
"The deputy chief ministercum-finance minister, Sushil Modi rejected the modifications and directed the education department to modify the draft strictly in accordance with the cabinet decision. This resulted in delays and the modified notification could be issued only a few days back. Had the finanance department failed to notice the departure from cabinet decision, the matter would have landed in the court by now," said FUTAB working president Dr Kanhaiya Bahadur Sinha, adding, it was good that the government had realized the importance of implementing the State Litigation Policy 2011.

text: The leading causes are disease, hormones, and environmental factors. Here, too, it is advisable to first have a urinary and physical examination by the veterinarian. Castration is often an effective solution to this problem (even unsterilized cats can start spraying during heat). Marking with urine can reduce stress factors. For example, if marking occurs when a cat is seen outside, stick these windows off. Possibly medication can be given to reduce stress. It is essential to clean the areas where the cat has marked well (e.g., sequentially with water, soap, and fire spirits). In general, it appears that a cat that sprays a lot can unlearn this in a completely different environment. Consult with a behavioral specialist.
