Lives of the Twelve Caesars: Otho
Ancient History Sourcebook ^ | Suetonius
Posted on 03/06/2002 2:03:28 PM PST by A.J.Armitage
I. THE ancestors of Otho came from an old and illustrious family in the town of Ferentium and were descended from the princes of Etruria. His grandfather Marcus Salvius Otho, whose father was a Roman eques but whose mother was of lowly origin and perhaps not even free-born, became a senator through the influence of Livia Augusta, in whose house he was reared; but did not advance beyond the grade of praetor. His father Lucius Otho was of a distinguished family on his mother's side, with many powerful connections, and was so beloved by Tiberius and so like him in appearance, that he was believed by many to be the emperor's son. In the regular offices at Rome, the proconsulate of Africa, and several special military commands, he conducted himself with extreme severity. In Illyricum he even had the courage to punish some soldiers with death, because in the rebellion of Camillus [See Claud. xiii and xxxv.2], repenting of their defection, they had killed their officers on the ground that they were the ringleaders in the revolt against Claudius; and they were executed in his presence before his headquarters, although he knew that they had been promoted to higher positions by Claudius because of that very act. By this deed, while he increased his reputation, he lost favor at court; but he speedily regained it by detecting the treachery of a Roman eques, whose slaves betrayed their master's design of killing the emperor. For in consequence of this, the Senate conferred a very unusual honor on him by setting up his statue in the Palace; and Claudius also enrolled him among the patricians, and after praising him in the highest terms, added these words: "a man of greater loyalty than I can even pray for in my own children." By Albia Terentia, a woman of an illustrious line, he had two sons, Lucius Titianus, and a younger called Marcus, who had the same surname as himself; also a daughter, whom he betrothed to Drusus, son of Germanicus, almost before she was of marriageable age.
II. The emperor Otho was born on the fourth day before the Kalends of May in the consulate of Camillus Arruntius and Domitius Ahenobarbus [April 28, 32 C.E.]. From earliest youth he was so extravagant and wild that his father often flogged him; and they say that he used to rove about at night and lay hands on anyone whom he met who was feeble or drunk and toss him in a blanket [Instead of the modern blanket, a "sagum", or military cloak, was used, whence the operation was called "sagatio"]. After his father's death he pretended love for an influential freedwoman of the court, although she was an old woman and almost decrepit, that he might more effectually win her favor. Having through her wormed his way into Nero's good graces, he easily held the first place among the emperor's friends because of the similarity of their characters; but according to some, also through immoral relations. At any rate his influence was such, that when he had bargained for a huge sum of money to procure the pardon of an ex-consul who had been condemned for extortion, he had no hesitation in bringing him into the Senate to give thanks, before he had fully secured his restoration [The penalty for extortion was expulsion from the Senate; see Jul. xliii.1].
III. He was privy to all the emperor's plans and secrets and on the day which Nero had chosen for the murder of his mother he gave both of them a most elaborate banquet, in order to avert suspicion.
Also when Poppaea Sabina, who up to that time had been Nero's mistress, was separated from her husband and turned over for the time being to Otho, he pretended marriage with her [According to Tac., Ann. 13.45, the marriage was a real one, as is also implied below]; but not content with seducing her, he became so devoted that he could not endure the thought of having Nero even as a rival. At all events it is believed that he not only would not admit those whom Nero sent to fetch her, but that on one occasion he even shut out the emperor himself, who stood before his door, vainly mingling threats and entreaties and demanding the return of his trust. Therefore, Nero annulled the marriage and under color of an appointment as governor banished Otho to Lusitania, contenting himself with this through fear that by inflicting a severer punishment he would make the whole farce public; but even as it was, it was published abroad in this couplet: "Why, do you ask, in feigned honor does Otho in banishment languish? With his own wedded wife he had begun an intrigue."
With the rank of quaestor Otho governed the province for ten years with remarkable moderation and integrity.
IV. When at last an opportunity for revenge was given him, Otho was the first to espouse Galba's causes, at the same time conceiving on his own account high hopes of imperial power, because of the state of the times, but still more because of a declaration of the astrologer Seleukos [Tacitus and Plutarch give "Ptolemaios" as the name of the astrologer]. For he had not only promised Otho some time before that he would survive Nero, but had at this time unexpectedly appeared unsought and made the further promise, that he would soon become emperor as well. Accordingly, Otho let slip no opportunity for flattery or attention to anyone. Whenever he entertained the princeps at dinner, he gave a gold piece to each man of the cohort on guard, and put all the soldiers under obligation in one form or another. Chosen arbiter by a man who was at law with his neighbor about a part of his estate, he bought the whole property and presented it to him. As a result there was hardly anyone who did not both think and openly declare that he alone was worthy to succeed to the empire.
V. Now he had hoped to be adopted by Galba, and looked forward to it from day to day. But when Piso was preferred and he at last lost that hope, he resorted to force, spurred on not merely by feelings of resentment, but also by the greatness of his debts. For he flatly declared that he could not keep on his feet unless he became emperor, and that it made no difference whether he fell at the hands of the enemy in battle or at those of his creditors in the Forum. He had extorted a million sesterces from one of the emperor's slaves a few days before for getting him a stewardship. This was the entire capital for his great undertaking. At first the enterprise was entrusted to five of his body-guard, then to ten others, two being chosen by each of the first five; to all of them ten thousand sesterces were paid at once and they were promised fifty thousand more. Through these others were won over, but not so very many, since he had full confidence that more would join him when the business was afoot.
VI. He had been inclined to seize the Camp immediately after the adoption, and set upon Galba as he was dining in the Palace, but had been prevented by consideration for the cohort which was on guard at the time, and a reluctance to increase its ill repute; for it was while that same cohort was at its post that both Galba had been slain and Nero had been forsaken. The intervening time [Between the adoption and the death of Galba, a space of five days] was lost owing to bad omens and the warnings of Seleukos. Accordingly, when the day was set, after admonishing his confederates to await him in the Forum at the golden milepost [A pillar covered with gilded bronze, erected by Augustus, in 20 B.C.E., on which were engraved the names of the principal cities of the empire and their distance from Rome. The Roman roads were supposed to converge at that point, but the distances on them were reckoned from the gates] hard by the Temple of Saturn, he called upon Galba in the morning and was welcomed as usual with a kiss. He also attended the emperor as he was offering sacrifice, and heard the predictions of the soothsayer. Then a freedman announced that the architects had come, which was the signal agreed on, and going off as if to inspect a house which was for sale, he rushed from the Palace by a back door and hastened to the appointed place. Others say that he feigned an attack of fever and asked those who stood near him to give that excuse, in case he should be missed. Then hurriedly entering a closed litter, such as women use, he hurried to the camp, but got out when the bearers' strength flagged, and started to run. His shoe came untied and he stopped, whereupon without delay he was at once taken up on the shoulders of his companions and hailed as emperor. In this way he arrived at headquarters, amid acclamations and drawn swords, while everyone whom he met fell in, just as though he were an accomplice and a participator in the plot. He then sent emissaries to kill Galba and Piso, and made no further promises in the assembly to win the loyalty of the soldiers than to declare that he would have that--and only that--which they should leave to him.
VII. Next, as the day was drawing to its close, he entered the Senate and after giving a brief account of himself, alleging that he had been carried off in the streets and forced to undertake the rule, which he would exercise in accordance with the general will, he went to the Palace. When in the midst of the other adulations of those who congratulated and flattered him, he was hailed by the common herd as Nero, he made no sign of dissent; on the contrary, according to some writers, he even made use of that surname in his commissions and his first letters to some of the governors of the provinces. Certain it is that he suffered Nero's busts and statues to be set up again, and reinstated his procurators and freedmen in their former posts, while the first grant that he signed as emperor was one of fifty million sesterces for finishing the Golden House. It is said that he had a fearful dream that night, uttered loud groans, and was found by those who ran to his aid lying on the ground beside his couch; that he tried by every kind of expiatory rite to propitiate the shade of Galba, by whom he dreamt that he was ousted and thrown out; and that next day, as he was taking the auspices, a great storm arose and he had a bad fall, whereat he muttered from time to time: "With long pipes what concern have I? [Proverbial of undertaking something beyond one's powers; cf., Cic. Ad Att. ii.16].
VIII. Now at about this same time the armies in Germania swore allegiance to Vitellius. When Otho learned of this, he persuaded the Senate to send a deputation, to say that an emperor had already been chosen and to counsel peace and harmony; but in spite of this he offered Vitellius by messengers and letters a share in the imperial dignity and proposed to become his son-in-law. But when it became clear that war was inevitable, and the generals and troops which Vitellius had sent in advance were already drawing near, he was given a proof of the affection and loyalty of the Praetorians towards himself which almost resulted in the destruction of the Senate. It had been resolved that some arms should be removed and carried back on shipboard by the marines; but as these were being taken out in the Camp towards nightfall, some suspected treachery and started a riot; then on a sudden all the soldiers hastened to the Palace without any particular leader, demanding the death of the Senators. After putting to flight some of the tribunes who attempted to stop them, and killing others, just as they were, all blood-stained, they burst right into the dining-room, demanding to know where the emperor was; and they could not be quieted until they had seen him. He began his expedition with energy and in fact too hastily, without any regard even for the omens, and in spite of the fact that the sacred shields had been taken out [From the Temple of Mars, to be carried through the streets in the sacred procession. To begin any enterprise during that time was considered unlucky, and weddings were avoided; see Ovid, Fasti, iii.393], but not yet put back, which for ages has been considered unlucky; on the very day, too, when the worshippers of the Mother of the Gods [Kybele, whose festival was from March 24 to 30] begin their wailing and lamentation, and also with most unfavorable auspices. For having offered up a victim to Dis Pater, he had good omens, whereas in such a sacrifice adverse indications are more favorable; and when he first left the city, he was delayed by floods of the Tiber, while at the twentieth milestone he found the road blocked by fallen buildings.
IX. With like rashness, although no one doubted that the proper course was to protract the war, since the enemy were hard pressed by hunger and by the narrowness of their quarters, he decided to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible, either because he could not endure the continued worry and hoped that the war could be ended before the arrival of Vitellius, or from inability to resist the impetuosity of his soldiers, who clamored for the fight. He himself did not take part in any of the battles, but remained behind at Brixellum. He was victorious in three contests, but they were of little moment: in the Alps, near Placentia, and "at Castor's," as the place is called. In the final and decisive struggle at Betriacum he was defeated, but through treachery. For hope of a conference was offered, and when his soldiers were led out in the belief that they were to discuss terms of peace, a battle was forced upon them unexpectedly, just as they were exchanging greetings with the foe. After the defeat, Otho at once resolved to take his own life, rather from a feeling of shame, as many have thought with good reason, and an unwillingness to persist in a struggle for imperial power at the expense of such danger to life and property, than from any despair of success or distrust of his troops; for even then he had a fresh and strong force which he had held in reserve for a second attempt, while others were on their way from Dalmatia, Pannonia, and Moesia. Even the defeated troops were not so crushed as not to undergo any danger, and even without support undertake to avenge their disgrace.
X. My father Suetonius Laetus took part in that war, as a tribune of the equestrian order in the Thirteenth legion. He used often to declare afterwards that Otho, even when he was a private citizen, so loathed civil strife, that at the mere mention of the fate of Brutus and Cassius at a banquet he shuddered; that he would not have engaged with Galba, if he had not felt confident that the affair could be settled peacefully; further, that he was led to hold his life cheap at that time by the example of a common soldier. This man, on bringing news of the defeat of the army, was believed by no one, but was charged by the soldiers now with falsehood and now with cowardice, and accused of running away; whereupon he fell on his sword at the emperor's feet. My father used to say that at this sight Otho cried out that he would no longer endanger the lives of such brave men, who had deserved so well. Having therefore advised his brother, his nephew, and his friends one by one to look out each for his own safety as best they could, he embraced and kissed them all and sent them off. Then, going to a retired place he wrote two notes, one of consolation to his sister, and one to Nero's widow Messalina, whom he had intended to marry, commending to her his corpse and his memory. Then he burned all his letters, to prevent them from bringing danger or harm to anyone at the hands of the victor. He also distributed what money he had with him among his servants
XI. When he had thus made his preparations and was now resolved upon death, learning from a disturbance which meantime arose that those who were beginning to depart and leave the camp were being seized and detained as deserters, he said "Let us add this one more night to our life" (these were his very words), and he forbade the offering of violence to anyone. Leaving the door of his bedroom open until a late hour, he gave the privilege of speaking with him to all who wished to come in. After that, quenching his thirst with a draught of cold water, he caught up two daggers, and having tried the point of both of them, put one under his pillow. Then closing the doors, he slept very soundly. When he at last woke up at about daylight, he stabbed himself with a single stroke under the left breast; and now concealing the wound, and now showing it to those who rushed in at his first groan, he breathed his last and was hastily buried (for such were his orders) in the thirty-eighth year of his age and on the ninety-fifth day of his reign.
XII. Neither Otho's person nor his bearing suggested such great courage. He is said to have been of moderate height, splay-footed and bandy-legged, but almost feminine in his care of his person. He had the hair of his body plucked out, and because of the thinness of his locks wore a wig so carefully fashioned and fitted to his head, that no one suspected it. Moreover, they say that he used to shave every day and smear his face with moist bread, beginning the practice with the appearance of the first down, so as never to have a beard; also that he used to celebrate the rites of Isis publicly in the linen garment prescribed by the cult. I am inclined to think that it was because of these habits that a death so little in harmony with his life excited the greater marvel. Many of the soldiers who were present kissed his hands and feet as he lay dead, weeping bitterly and calling him the bravest of men and an incomparable emperor, and then at once slew themselves beside his bier. Many of those who were absent too, on receiving the news, attacked and killed one another from sheer grief. In short, the greater part of those who had hated him most bitterly while he lived lauded him to the skies when he was dead; and it was even commonly declared that he had put an end to Galba, not so much for the sake of ruling as of restoring the republic and liberty.

I highly recommend Suetonius' "The Twelve Caesars" to all history buffs. He's one of the first historians to make an attempt at objectivity, and his style is highly entertaining; a much easier read than Tacitus, whose style is, well, more taciturn.

Is This the End for Tiger Woods?
by Jason Alsher | More Articles: Sports

They say all good things must come to an end; we just didn't expect it to look like this for Tiger Woods. On Thursday, after making it through 12 holes of the first round at Torrey Pines, Woods officially withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open. Once again, his ailing back continued to be his achilles heel. According to Woods, the two-hour delay, due to fog, didn't do his troubling back any favors.
"It just never loosened back up again," Woods said during a 90-second media session before getting into his courtesy car. "And when we went back out, it just got progressively tighter." Tiger continued by saying: "It's frustrating that it started shutting down like that. I was ready to go. I had a good warm-up session the first time around. Then we stood out here and I got cold, and everything started deactivating again. And it's frustrating that I just can't stay activated. That's just kind of the way it is."
This is the third occasion in his past nine showings that Woods has been forced to withdraw from a tournament due to back injuries. It's clearly a bigger problem than he led on when he decided to return to golf in December. Woods just can't seem to get over this hurdle. At this point in his illustrious career, does he have it in him to make one last push at Jack Nicklaus's major record of 18? We don't think so.
Andy Lyons/Getty Images
The Woods we have seen so far this season is merely a shell of his former self. For the first time in three years, Woods has fallen out of the top 50 world golf rankings. And this latest setback is not going to make matters any better. In 2015, Woods has played in three competitive tournaments, and the results shouldn't make anyone hopeful that Tiger has what it takes to return to his past glory. It was one thing for Woods to put up his career-worst round (82) at the Phoenix Open on January 30, but this last issue has to be even more draining, both physically and mentally.
Woods's superiority came not just from his incomparable competitive nature but also from his physical strength. The way he worked out, the power that he brought to the game of golf, had never been seen before. He revolutionized the sport, and others knew that if they wanted to compete with Tiger, then they were going to have to adapt themselves. But what's a guy to do when he no longer has the mental edge or physical dominance that made him unrivaled? That's the question Woods must now ask himself right now.
Unfortunately for the 14-time majors winner, we're not sure he's going to like the answer.

One of my favorite Twitch Streamers, Vinny Vinesauce, regularly hosts streams where he glitches videogames for comedic effect. This is often done in an emulator with special software, but I created a device that allows for deliberate, controlled glitches on the original Game Boy hardware. He used the device in one of his streams, click here for a link.
The device is based around the Super Game Boy (SGB), a Super Nintendo cartridge that allows gamers to play Game Boy games on their TVs. Interestingly, the cartridge actually contains all the CPU and RAM chips that a regular Game Boy has, which makes the innards functionally identical to the original system.
I hooked the VRAM address and data bus, the WRAM address and data bus, and the Cartridge address and data bus up to an arduino with the help of some shift registers. In order to induce a glitch, one of the lines is pulled low, thereby changing the data or address being sent through the system.
I was met with interesting timing challenges during this project. If any of the lines are pulled low for more than one or two cycles in the SGB, it resulted in a hard crash instead of a glitch. The SGB runs at about 4Mhz, while the Arduino runs at a firm 16Mhz. I thought that as long as I kept my code efficient enough, the Arduino would certainly execute my code fast enough to quickly pull a line low for a single SGB cycle. In practice though, this was not the case. I learned that the Arduino's digitalWrite() functions actually took around 50 cycles to complete, leaving the SGB lines pulled low for around 13 cycles no matter how efficient my code was. In order to solve this problem, I had to write some basic assembly instead of using the stock Arduino functions. With this improvement, I was able to get enough granularity to keep lines pulled low for a single SGB cycle.
Pretty interested in making one of these myself, don't suppose you have a parts list/wiring diagram available anywhere?
I was lazy and I never actually created any schematics for this version of the corrupter, but I am working on a new version and I have schematics up for it on GitHub. The operation of the new corrupter is exactly the same as this one.


There is mutual benefit in the simultaneous development of both the agricultural and industrial sectors of a town in generating self-sustaining effects on its economic growth. Both sectors perform complementary roles that become equally advantageous.
As productivity in the agricultural sector increases, it produces more food and raw materials which the industrial sector purchases and transforms into higher value-added finished products. Higher productivity in the agricultural sector increases farm incomes, allows households to spend more and, with the large rural population, becomes a strong market for goods produced by industry.
Local government units (LGU) are extremely crucial components of such development since they have the most active role. They must be guided and empowered to regulate land use.
This is the main reason why the municipality of Atimonan, one of the most progressive towns in the province of Quezon, recently firmed up plans to chart its development as an agro-industrial center, anchored on agriculture and tourism.
Located on the western shore of Quezon province, 173 kilometers southeast of Manila, Atimonan is blessed with both natural and historical riches. The local government officials of this first-class municipality are looking forward to the development of their town in partnership with the private sector.
If the Philippines does not use available new technologically advanced fossil fuel power plants using cleaner technologies, power costs may rise sky-high.
Atimonan Mayor Rustico Joven Mendoza together with his able staff recently accepted the final Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) documents from environment planner, Grandt Planners. Mendoza said CLUP seeks to achieve a synchronized development, supported by an adaptive infrastructure system in the municipality.
A fast-growing town known for its cleanliness, beautiful beaches, and historical and natural scenery, the agro-industrial development of Atimonan is part of the LGU's socio-economic development program that it hopes will contribute in increasing the local residents' income, create more jobs and strengthen markets in both sectors. It will also further close the gap in living standards with the more industrialized urban areas.
Among the key industrial infrastructure projects to rise soon in Atimonan is a 1,200-megawatt high-efficiency low emission (HELE) coal power plant which, pending approval of a government permit, will be constructed by Atimonan One Energy (A1E), a subsidiary of Meralco Powergen.
Former Public Works Secretary and now CEO and president of Meralco PowerGen Rogelio "Babes" Singson said there is a need to replace old and ageing power plants in the country to boost the available reserves and avoid potential power interruptions. Unfortunately, the use of modern clean coal power technology is an issue which so-called cause-oriented organizations seem to be unable to wrap their heads around.
I totally agree that coal may not be the cleanest way to generate electricity, but new HELE technologies have greatly reduced any adverse impact on the environment, including in the town of Atimonan. If the Philippines does not use available new technologically advanced fossil fuel power plants using cleaner technologies, power costs may rise sky-high. If the country closes coal-fired plants today, it will not only be paying an arm and a leg for the electricity it needs. It will have to deal with power shortages that will cripple the economy and bring misery to the poorest of the poor.
While construction of the power plant has yet to commence in Atimonan despite receiving a Certificate of Energy Project of National Significance, A1E has been busy partnering with the town's LGU to help local residents enhance their livelihood and living conditions.
A1E in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Philippines Foundation also rolled out last year the New Carinay Housing Project in Atimonan where a significant number of families residing in Sitio Carinay, Barangay Ibaba were awarded with new single detached houses with power and water supply, and toilet and bath, as well as proper sewerage system. They were also provided with technical vocational training programs to sustain their livelihood.
With CLUP, the LGU of Atimonan envisions to transform this beautiful gem into a smart city and a key tourist destination south of Luzon.
We are living in a democratic country where any person or organization is free to decry government and private programs. I just hope we can all be on the same page in terms of achieving the common good, working towards sustainable development, rather than pushing our own personal interests and agenda that may be a bane to progress and development.

DMCA Infringement Takedowns Work
date icon March 29, 2016

18 years after Congress passed copyright legislation in 1998, it is still working effectively and as intended today. In fact, as a testament to the foresight of its authors, these laws are enabling today's content-rich Internet platforms to operate. The laws strike a balance between facilitating free speech and creativity while protecting the interests of copyright holders.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act creates safe harbors for Internet platforms by ensuring they will not be liable for what their users do, so long as the platforms act responsibly. For example, when platforms remove content after giving notice to the owner that it infringes on a copyright, the platforms are considered to be acting responsibly.
These smart laws allow people to post content that they have created on platforms – such as videos, reviews, pictures, and text. In essence, this is what makes the Internet great. The safe harbors enable platforms to operate at the scale necessary to create huge benefits for consumers and creators. They have fueled the creation of a booming domestic Internet economy that was worth nearly $1 trillion or 6 percent of GDP in 2014.
One sign of the safe harbors' enduring success is the increasing number of notice and takedown requests that are received and efficiently processed. Records at the Copyright Office show that over 60,000 online providers have registered to participate. In fact, courts have ruled that it was the intent of Congress for this system to be used. What's more, Internet companies have implemented technological solutions beyond the requirements of the law that make it easier than ever for copyright holders to combat infringement. For example, websites like Scribd and Pinterest offer one-click forms that are readily accessible.
In addition to this effective tool for combating infringement, the content industry is increasing the amount of legal services available to consumers. Only a few years ago, copyright holders were concerned that BitTorrent platforms accounted for 50 percent of Internet traffic in the United States. Now, Netflix and YouTube represent over 50 percent of prime time viewing traffic and BitTorrent traffic has dropped to single digits. In addition, studies indicate that the introduction of lawful online video and music platforms is typically followed by reductions in online infringement by 50 percent and 80 percent, respectively.
Together, the growing use of the DMCA safe harbors as an effective tool for takedowns to combat infringement and the increasing accessibility of legal online services show the content industry is winning. Perhaps the best example is YouTube – it is now a significant source of revenue for the content industry, but is also a platform that could only exist due to safe harbors.

Q: htaccess 301 redirect after change in one part of the url how do I redirect urls from old url to new url? Here is the case:
http://www.lorem.com/ipsum/dolor/sit -> http://www.lorem.com/ipsum/dolor/amet
http://www.lorem.com/ipsum/dolor/sit/lipsum -> http://www.lorem.com/ipsum/dolor/amet/lipsum
http://www.lorem.com/ipsum/dolor/sit/vulvat -> http://www.lorem.com/ipsum/dolor/amet/vulvat
http://www.lorem.com/ipsum/dolor/sit/lol    -> http://www.lorem.com/ipsum/dolor/amet/lol

The customer has renamed sit to amet. Do I have to create one redirect per link, or can I redirect sit to amet and all the pages under sit in one go?

A: You will need only one RewriteRule to handle this.
Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^(ipsum/dolor)/sit(/.*|)$ $1/amet$2 [L,NC,R=301]

How much money are you wasting on paid content promotion?
How do you get more traffic from content marketing? You can either create more or better content, or you can distribute that content better. In the latter case, it's likely you've considered paid content promotion. And rightly so: if your content performs, it makes sense to promote it, right? The thing is, does it perform? The whole ROI equation for paid content promotion is in that "if". Promoting content that doesn't perform is wasting money while promoting content that performs is money well spent.
"Half my advertising is wasted, I just don't know which half" said John Wanamaker. Do you know?
So now let's say you want to double the performance of your content with paid content promotion. If you're focused on the right content marketing analytics KPI's, it's likely that lead generation is the stat you want to double. So let's see the various ways you have to generate 1,280 leads with the same 13 pieces of content.
What a lot of marketers tell us they do is that they spend a similar amount of money on each piece. This rule has the benefit of being super easy. But is it efficient?
Each piece gets exactly $902 worth of promotion.
Is the budget you'll need with this method. Let's compare it with other methods that use data to optimize results.
Buy 2,000 clicks for each top performing piece to double its 2,000 organic visits.
Buy 500 clicks for each average piece to double its 500 organic visits.
Buy 250 clicks for each low-performing piece to double its 250 organic visits.
Now let's see what this would look like if the KPI that matters to you is lead generation. Again, there's some difficulty in doing this and I'll cover that below. But let's say you knew which are the 2 top performing posts from a lead generation standpoint. What would you do?
Simple: bet everything on red! Allocate your entire budget on these 2 posts.
Now you're only spending $6,400 to double your content performance, a 45% savings on your initial budget.
This model is of course oversimplified. But no matter how sophisticated the model is, in real life, you'll have the same phenomenon. The way you allocate your paid content promotion budget makes a huge difference in the results you get.
So you might be wasting up to 45% of your paid content promotion dollars by not allocating it properly. How can you fix that?
To do the right allocation, you need data. You need to know as much information in real-time as possible to understand how your content is performing. And not just from a traffic generation standpoint: from a lead generation standpoint. This is precisely why you need predictive insights – or what we call content marketing intelligence – to guide your promotion efforts.
Content marketing intelligence technology starts analyzing your content in real-time as soon as you've done some organic promotion. This means data on traffic but also leads generated for each piece of content. From there you can make several decisions: update or fix content or amplify its impact with paid promotion. So you're not spending money on the low-performing content – only on the top-performing ones. And you can repeat this indefinitely as the data evolves.
As we're consistently suffering from information overload (or content shock), marketers are fighting for limited attention from their target audience. To overcome that and get results, it makes sense to pay to play. But by doing so without having the technology to gather the data, you're wasting a big part of this budget. With the predictive insights that content marketing intelligence system brings, you can allocate your budget dynamically on your topic performing content and generate much better ROI from paid content promotion.

En finanzas, riesgo sistémico puede ser interpretado como "inestabilidad del sistema financiero, potencialmente catastrófico, causado por eventos idiosincráticos o condiciones en los intermediarios financieros". Se refiere al riesgo creado por interdependencias en un sistema o mercado, en que el fallo de una entidad o grupo de entidades puede causar un fallo en cascada, que puede hundir el sistema o mercado en su totalidad.

Es importante no confundir este término con riesgo sistemático, que hace referencia al riesgo común para todo el mercado.

Explicación
La forma más fácil de entender el riesgo sistémico es lo inverso de una política protectora. Así como los gobiernos e instituciones que monitorean los mercados establecen políticas y reglas para salvaguardar los intereses de los participantes en los mercados, todos los participantes están entrelazados en una red de dependencias que nacen de compartir exposición a los mismos factores económicos, y que están bajo el control de los mismos mecanismos regulatorios.

El riesgo sistémico no debe ser confundido con el riesgo del mercado, pues este último es específico del ítem que se desea comprar o vender. Este tipo de riesgo puede ser mitigado. Por ejemplo, considere un portafolio de inversiones perfectamente balanceadas, o diversificadas. En este caso se puede decir que el riesgo de mercado ha sido anulado. Sin embargo, si sucede una recesión económica y el mercado en general se hunde, esta diversificación podría resultar de poca importancia. Este es el riesgo sistémico del portafolio.

La esencia del riesgo sistémico es la correlación de las pérdidas. El riesgo sistémico tiene el problema de que es muy difícil de evaluar. Por ejemplo, mientras que las estimaciones econométricas y la investigación en los ciclos de diversas industrias proveen información importante para predecir recesiones, la información del riesgo sistémico es usualmente muy difícil de obtener, puesto que las interdependencias en los mercados financieros juegan un papel fundamental. Si un banco quiebra y debe vender todos sus activos, la caída en los precios de estos activos puede resultar en problemas de liquidez para otros bancos, creando así pánico en el sistema interbancario.

Una frecuente preocupación es la potencial fragilidad de algunos mercados financieros. Si los participantes transan en niveles sobre sus bases de capital, la falla de alguno de los participantes puede privar a los demás de liquidez, y producir un efecto dominó que exponga a todo el mercado al riesgo sistémico.

Murder Suspect Kills Himself After Standoff
Man reportedly a Denver murder suspect
Published February 20, 2009 • Updated on February 21, 2009 at 12:09 pm
A man wanted for the murder of his ex-girlfriend in Colorado shot and killed himself after a police standoff at a Logan Square building, officials said Friday.
At least 30 police cars responded to the scene of the barricade situation, near the intersection of Kimball and Fullerton avenues, police said.
Police said that on Tuesday night in a suburb of Denver, 35-year-old James Martin followed his ex-girlfriend, 34-year-old Amber Cremeens, after she left the gym. When she realized that he was following her, she called her current boyfriend, who then called 911.
The boyfriend tells a 911 dispatcher that the ex-boyfriend "has been stalking the hell out of her."
"He will not leave her alone," Cremeens' boyfriend tells the dispatcher. He is identified only as Alex in the call.
According to the 911 tapes, Martin pulled up next to her and tried running her off the road.
"He can't get you if you keep driving, Amber," the boyfriend tells Cremeens.
Moments later, Cremeens is heard screaming.
"He's trapping you?" the boyfriend asks, and then, "He's trying to run you off the road?" before losing the call.
A subsequent caller to the 911 dispatcher reports a car accident and a shooting in the area where Cremeens said she was being chased.
Wheat Ridge, Colo., police said Cremeens' car was run off the road before she was shot inside it.
Police said Cremeens dated Martin for about eight years until August and that he exhibited "stalking behavior" toward her.
Martin's neighbors told The Denver Post Friday that he had showed them three guns he had bought to protect himself from neighborhood gangs. Martin had reportedly told friends he and Cremeens had made up and he was excited about a possible reunion.
Martin left the Denver area after the incident and headed east toward the Chicago area, police said.
Just after 4:30 Friday afternoon, officers said they noticed a vehicle matching the description of Martin's and followed him. Police said he took off on foot and barricaded himself in the front vestibule of the apartment building.
After a nearly three-hour standoff, with several failed attempts at communicating with Martin, he shot and killed himself, police said.
Authorities have not confirmed the man in the Logan Square building was Martin; however, the standoff and death occurred at the residence of one of his family members and that his vehicle was found nearby, police said.

Opinion: How to get an endorsement deal
By Stuart Williams 2010-06-09T12:47:00.159Z Guitars
Monthly posts from the man who sorts the gear reviews
An endorsement deal, it's the elusive symbol of stardom, but just how exactly do you get your hands on the goodies? Total Guitar's Reviews Editor Stuart Williams explains the business behind the dream.
What is an endorsement deal?
Apart from getting a record deal and hearing yourself played on the radio, having gear companies beating down your door to give you free stuff is a sure sign that you're a proper guitar icon.
The problem is, unless you're at the level described above, the only thing you'll be getting for free is nine months to pay off the bill. Usually, you're still gonna have to cough up, but you might be offered a discount on the full retail price of your gear.

There are no hard and fast rules for who is eligible for an endorsement deal, and it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. It'd be cynical to suggest that endorsements are nothing more than a sideways form of marketing on a manufacturer's part, but the reason you'll be given an endorsement in the first place is because you have a profile.
As an example, a band that gigs locally, sometimes does small tours, and has no label affiliations will probably have to get in the queue for the till with the rest of us. However, if you're touring regularly, getting some good support slots in decent-sized venues and getting coverage in magazines and on TV/radio, you stand a good chance of attracting Brand X's attention.
For reasons we'll point out in a moment, if you're realistically in with a shot of getting an endorsement deal, you should choose the company for the right reasons..
The pros and cons of free gear
You're probably starting to notice a pattern here - endorsements are directly related to a band or artist's level of success. People come and watch you play, check your website, and give you media coverage. All the while you're using branded gear.
Of course, there are obvious plus points for the artist, too. If you're touring internationally, it's common to have the gear you specify provided for you in different countries, and you'll often get access to a wealth of loan instruments for recording (even if you don't get to keep them).
However, there's no such thing as a free lunch - it's a two-way street. Once you get to the level that manufacturers throw free gear at you, you'll be expected to help market their gear. This means that you'll be contractually obliged to use their gear at all performances, take part in advertising campaigns and demonstrate at events. Get caught using another brand's guitar/amp/pedal, and you might find the well dries up pretty quickly.
Perhaps the greatest irony is that once you get to this stage, you'll be able to afford to buy your gear anyway!
