What's in these videos?
You guys check it out. That's a sea level. Did you know that on the ceilings, they have, like these speakers. That noise canceling? Yeah, I was like, It's so cool. I was looking at a house. I want this. No nose. It's like everywhere. Like no way. Yeah, my friend Liz, she's really cool. Follow her on Instagram. You're sure? Yeah. So there's a lot of stereotypes. Are Hopkins assuring your love them? One of the biggest ones, Higgins is really cut through. What is your opinion? It was a lie. Hi. Anyone out, out to get me? Maybe because I'm not a threat, But also what is so nicely? Everyone that I met is so helpful. I need help. Like I literally ask the smartest kid in class and no help me. Nobody, I mean or, like intimidating. So I really enjoyed that cock it. I don't understand why that's why they say that. I don't know whose that visible class time. Where is he? No. Do you feel like the pressure to study all the time? When you see everyone, I'll study and you feel like you just said? I'm I think so. I don't think like when I see people studying. I want to study, but it definitely is motivating. Like when I I don't want to study him like a like I'll go study because I can't. But also, it's like up to me. I I don't study just because everyone I don't want to do it then I don't and I don't have to because this fine in the week like wear, I don't work out again. Publish it. You have a social life. You have Just get this good. It's like really F Brody. So do you like your experience so far? Like, would you rather Did you regret your decision? Like two percent. Because to us. No. Please. Looks better. You know what your video? C level you. Joe. I do not regret. A school like this. Like, Okay, so I was intimidated at first, and I was like, I don't want to, Really. Now that I don't get scared too, but I don't. All because a school of this quality has so many resource is you're getting quality professors. Quality people talk, ask like everyone is motivated, intelligent, helpful, like everybody knows the struggle. And so coming. I know. Somewhere like I know I will be set future. I know I have amazing connections. I know Manami amazing people that I've known for the rest of my life, no matter how difficult. Whatever it is that way, get I know alone. Yeah, I'm not just gonna forget about me at a school like this because they want your students to succeed. So, Abel armies, quality teachers. All right, everyone. We love it, Love. Thanks, Luce. hi guys. So we are currently at Jimmy Stop and Jimmy the free shuttle. That can take you to a different locations near campus such as Peabody, which is like the Music Conservatory located in Mount Vernon, which is where we're going to go in today. And the shadow can also take you to ten station, which is where all the buses and trains eyes. And they can also take you to the campus, which is what the shadows that she intended for. This is some of like, Peabody's campus. Find those trees and that's a music conservatory. The people. The library's over there, but it's currently closed. Yeah, from Under and somewhere way. Want to get on campus for a while and, like I said, the Germans with three shuttles. So it's easy to access way to shop, which is when a you get into way currently on her way to the fund shop, which is one of our favorite coffee shops up here and get down here and not burn in. And it's kind of like a ten minute walk from the Jimmy stop, but toe make those trackers. We have a lot of studying to do because The gun shop is completely open until three a. M. Pretty nice. Here is the really boy. And it's like this is you gonna try today? The dirty boy. New coat. Yeah. So here's a verdict on Walking the line dance. It's Friday night. It's kind of cold outside, but then we're gonna watch King of the Seas. It's a show formed by the Baltimore stage. I think it's at center stage and it should be fun. So about like this Chinese family in Chinatown or whatever, but I don't really know of us if you could yeah. Three. There was a time. No. So. When contacted for dinner's ready. Go. No. What? Oh. No way. Our sub guys. It's currently two thirty amount. I'm heading back to my dorm. It's been a while Friday night, but it's all good because I had fun. I'm probably gonna crash for a while, but on my way back Good night, guys. wait. So today we're delivering Cafe, and this is one of the nicer dining halls. It doesn't except meal swipes. But if you have a plan with dining dollars, you can spend them here. And they have a lot of nice options, like noodle bowls. Powerball's burritos. I think they also have sushi, and it's just like a nice place. They can hang out with some friends when you want something that's better than efficacy. Yeah, wait, get a Powerball today. And so it's a rice bowl with trippy salad, zucchini, carrots, broccoli, squash and olives. And I got like, a cart garlic dressing for this and Caroline over here got a burrito. Yeah, tell me about it. And it's like hold for rice and and also like avocado. It's really seven dollars. I want to say it's also like seventy eight fighting dollars, which is a pretty good deal, especially when we're like reaching the end of spring semester when everyone was sounds like a lot of dieting dollars and we gotta spend it can also be So this globe things really cool? You can't control its displayed. So, for example, let's click on the Milky Way and there it is. And you could do like all sorts of different settings. You can like model earthquakes and stuff, too, and it's just super cool. So today we're at Bloomberg Hall, and this is the Physics and astronomy building, and it's one of my favorites. And as you can see, there's a huge telescope in the middle, and I'm pretty sure upstairs there's a more functional one that you can actually receive training to use. I've yet to do that, but once I do, I'll be using the telescope and the building very distinct architecturally, because, like everything else and Hopkins are very like crap. Very like brick and marble. But this entire buildings like concrete. Uh, so if you could see here, like hopped in Tuzla very liberal history with the space program, Um, I'm pretty sure Hopkins like Man's the fuse, the thing that you could see right here and they just kind of like detail a lot of this history, like within the building. So it's really cool. Just read about and look at and these air patches from like all the missions the Hopkins has been involved with in some way, I feel like people never think about physics or has drawn me when they think of Hopkins stands. Obviously, the med school is very well known, but Hopkins actually does have a lot of work in this department or in this field. And when I did my spring overnight visit after I got admitted, I actually got toe look into the Department of bed like we got a little spotlight things, and I got a look at the total Learn about the telescope that Hopkins was working on a class that gets in the ad, a camera, so that was really cool. You beast. Man, it's just way too. Wait. Rush on, so could sew sew that isthe son. Hey, Marty. Visiting my friend. Deal. She lives there. Thiss Right here is the freshman blood where most of the freshman level cap is way. Am I which is basically the same set of us anymore too. Tommy. Soon. No. No. Joe. This courtyard is where a lot of freshmen over the weather's nice. There's a lot of picnic tables. People can eat your tio tio, and then all the residential halls are divided between different houses. So you basically get place in your house with the residential device scans to go into a residence hall. It's There's a mail room in the residential office. Oh, Milton was pretty reliable and we can both send and receive mail at this. Mail rooms was pretty convenient. Five. Leave Teo Smoke. This's a bluesy lounge where a lot of my friends and I like to do with the other years was a pretty nice place with a lot of lights. The couch is pretty comfortable. Also assist hangout do more temples, lives, and then we also princess station for one of you puts anything out. We also have a self serve vending machine where basically combined whatever you want and then just scattered is automated cashier over there. And then going downstairs, you'll see a lot of more of the amenities that March has only ever laundry room there. And then, basically it's three dollars a load for both washing and drying them. It's it's okay, so bathroom's, a name or two, are divided between male, female and general mutual. They all come with stalls and showers so he can use whichever. And then this is the kitchen is a refrigerator. Open oven here. Good. Bring me with you. Huh? No. Thank you. Five Now Tio Tio Smokin Oh, can I give a tour of a more too? Yeah, but welcome to Gil's room. Um, she has a lot of pictures. Is your side of the room? Look at this. Well, no. Am I the best one? Because it's social out. It's It's like socialist hoppenot. It's close to like everything on campus, like right in the middle. So you want to like climate for five minutes, going uphill every time That's true. Anything else you like? Baltimore too. Do you like the study room's became the study. All right, Social lounge. Hm. Pingpong ball. Yeah. Do use a kitchen at all? No, I can't. Well, as a space too big or too small or just right? I was just writing. That's really cozies. But then we have one of the smallest rooms because it's like the corner room, Like when you come up. This is the first room. So this is, like, smaller than the other. But like, we're rearranging furniture, too. And it's like, how's the sound proof? It's terrible. Like it. Just like walk through the halls. You could, like, hear just people talking. What's your favorite part of living here? It's my favorite part of living here. I know just how close everyone are like, all my friends are e just goto like you with, like, the whole, uh, floor is connected. So you want to, like, walk out the door? They go cold here. Gavin Peters here? Yeah. Where to? Anything else peace out. so to talk on my daily schedule. So on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I have buy materials and nine a. M. Organic chemistry at ten. And then I have about a one hour lunch break, which I purposely like plain reschedule out. So I don't have that. Then I have differential equations a twelve and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I have expository writing class from one thirty to forty five and that on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That same block is my computational protein structure. Prediction in design class. Then I go to the lab, my research shop for about an hour, four times a week. Yeah, that's my schedule on Mondays. I'm in this thing called Pilot for organic chemistry, and it's like a tutoring such a problem session problem, set session type of thing. And I think it's really helpful. A lot of classes have pilots, so a lot of student take advantage of that because, like, it really helps you, like, review the material and, like, really stay on track with that of your doing on DH, Then I haven't time to bounce on my extracurriculars. I'm part of Trump's City Science League, which I don't know if you guys are from the Wright Science Olympiad. But I was really involved with that in high school. So now at Hopkins, I'm part of Sofia's cell and I'm one of the board members. I'm the publicity head. And so the goal of chances sounds like it's basically promote like stem interest in my middle schoolers and now also high schoolers. But we basically teach them a lot of Science Olympiad events and have them. I participate in the regional and potentially state tournament. I love doing that and then and part of my medical engineering society. I'm one of the oppression representatives on the board, and we plan like a lot of events for that. They need be Emmy Department mainly for like the students to get to know each other, to get to know faculty and to really like network and just explore the department and really, like, get another major s Oh, yeah, those are my main to involvement. I don't spend too much time in the library by doing a lot of time studying. Uh, I liketo go to Mount Vernon to study a lot like I did. I can't tour of the bunch up earlier. But I love studying there because for me, if I study of people, I know I end up socializing. And so that's why I go to Brody a lot. The library. I will end up talking to my friends the entire time and not getting anything done. So really, it's just about finding, like, what's the right space for you to study in and on campus? There's just so many locations you can go and even like locations near campus. So you always find, like your place, that you can get stuff done to be productive and, yeah, so you always have people with you, too. So it's you never really feel alone, but like it's like you all are really committed to the grind, so This is Freshman Quad, and this is where a lot of the freshman residential areas are. Like all of the AM our buildings, um so the Aymara one into which are like your traditional dorm, where you have, like one roommate and a bathroom at the end of the hall that everyone shares and then am I three is sweet style, just like woman and McCoy holes with other two, uh, freshman living quarters and then freshen Quad also has thie F C, which is the main dining hall for freshmen and also some sophomores. Now we're approaching Decker Quad, which has Clark called the B M E Building as well as Mason Hall thie like undergraduate admissions building as well as Hackerman Hall, which we are approaching right now. And hacker mons pretty cool because it's like the electrical engineering building. And I've been in it sometime for some biomedical engineering society meetings. But, um, we have a divinci machine in here, and this is like when the state of the art surgical machines surgery in her group. Um, yeah, so it's really cool. I never going to use it, but I do want to, and I'm pretty sure there's like some hack to get to use it. Whyman Quad has the Shire Auditorium, which is nearly renovated as well. It's just some more academic buildings like Schaefer Hall, which we're going to tour, and a lot of people just sit out here to relax and think Frisbee and the catch and stuff, and it's one of the bigger quads. I think this also called Engineering Quad because it's also bordered by the hacker men and engineering advising office and Schaeffer. Finally, here's Kaiser Quad, which have Brody learning comment is, was Gilman Hall, which are also going to tour, and yeah, so these are all four of our Quat. So today, right off of sea, which is the Fresh Food Cafe, and this is the global station, and we have star fried noodles today or rice. And now we're at the route station, which has a lot of vegan and vegetarian options. Um, I had to sneak out rice from here sometimes, and these air the bagels thatyou can self toast. We have fruit and yogurt as well as a salad bar. And then we have a pizza and pasta bar, which is there every day. I like it in the pasta. Then this is a desert station duck ally. The desserts are kind of dry, and this is a self serve omelet bar, which is probably my favorite station. And we have ice cream every day to from Tau Harker Brothers, which is like a local ice cream brand. And, yeah, the flavors are pretty good. So freshman are required tto do a meal plan, and the options are the unlimited meal Plan B nineteen meal or the fourteen meal, and I have the fourteen right now. And the way it works is that as you decrease the number of Niels types again, your dining dollars increase and dining dollars can be spent at Charm R, which is Charles Street Market, the grocery store that's right below my dorm. And so anyone that lives in Woman Hall or, like McCoy tends toe do the fourteen meal plan Justcause charmers closer to us than ever, See, but a lot of people that live in the A m ours, especially M R three, have the nineteen year plan because they're like, right next to the cafe. Um, I actually tend to not use my meal, so I have so much. I use a lot more dining dollars just because meals types really only work at the fifty. So even like my fourteen meal. So it's like they don't really get used. S O sophomore have the option of switching to in on ly dining all their plan of eleven Charles comment and you live in Homewood or Bradford, the other main sophomore living quarters. They can actually go without a meal plan, but yes and extreme living in comments. And I will be doing the dining dollar plan because You beast. Man, it's just way too. Wait. Rush on, so could sew sew that isthe son. Hey, Marty. Visiting my friend. Deal. She lives there. Thiss Right here is the freshman blood where most of the freshman level cap is way. Am I which is basically the same set of us anymore too. Tommy. Soon. No. No. Joe. This courtyard is where a lot of freshmen over the weather's nice. There's a lot of picnic tables.

Presiding Judge, Sonoma County Superior Court
Requests for admissions under Code of Civil Procedure Section 2033.010 are a powerful litigation tool. A case can be made, opposition overcome, or a loss resurrected through the effective use of requests to admit. However, a failure to propound proper requests, to pay appropriate attention to providing timely responses, and following through to obtain appropriate responses renders this discovery device completely ineffective, and may ultimately be fatal to the case.
The purpose of this article and self-assessment test is to familiarize courts and litigants with requests for admissions. Readers will learn about the scope of such requests, responses to requests, the effect of failing to admit without good reason, and the showing needed for recovery of costs and fees based on the requests.
CCP Section 2033.010 provides "Any party may obtain discovery ... by a written request that any other party to the action admit the genuineness of specified documents, or the truth of specified matters of fact, opinion relating to fact, or application of law to fact." However, requests to admit are not "true" discovery. Requests for admissions are primarily aimed at setting to rest a triable issue so that it will not have to be tried. Any matter admitted in response to a request for admission is conclusively established against the party making the admission, unless the court permits a withdrawal or amendment of the admission under CCP Section 2033.300. Wilcox v. Birtwhistle, 21 Cal. 4th 973 (1999). "[S]uch requests, in a most definite manner, are aimed at expediting the trial." Cembrook v. Superior Court, 56 Cal. 2d 423 (1961). While other discovery devices are meant to obtain proof for use at trial, requests to admit seek to eliminate proof at trial. St. Mary v. Superior Court, 223 Cal. App. 4th 762 (2014).
Scope of Requests
The scope of requests to admit is quite broad. "[T]he fact that the request is for the admission of a controversial matter, or one involving complex facts, or calls for an opinion, is of no moment." Grace v. Mansourian, 240 Cal. App. 4th 523 (2015). The request may seek a legal conclusion, and may seek an admission that a party was negligent or that such negligence was a legal cause of the injuries. CCP Section 2033.010; Garcia v. Hyster Co., 28 Cal. App. 4th 724 (1994). A request for admission may properly be used to establish opinions relating to fact or the application of law to fact. Burke v. Superior Court, 71 Cal. 2d 276 (1969); Chodos v. Superior Court, 215 Cal. App. 2d 318 (1963).
Requests for admissions are not limited to matters within personal knowledge of the responding party, and a responding party has a duty to make a reasonable investigation of the facts before answering items which do not fall within his personal knowledge. It is not enough to fail to investigate and then deny for lack of information in reliance on the lack of investigation. Wimberly v. Derby Cycle Corp., 56 Cal. App. 4th 618 (1997).
Responding to Request to Admit
A failure to timely respond results in a waiver of all objections to the requests, including claims of privilege or work product protection. CCP Section 2033.280(a). However, the requests are not automatically deemed admitted. In order for the matters to be deemed admitted, if the responding party fails to serve any timely responses, the propounding party must take affirmative steps by filing a motion for an order that the requests be deemed admitted. Unless the party receiving the requests served a proposed response in substantial compliance before the hearing on the motion, the court must order that the requests are deemed admitted. CCP Section 2033.280. Thus, if the receiving party serves substantially complying responses prior to the hearing, the court has no discretion but to deny the motion and to award sanctions if requested. On the other hand, if no such responses were served before the hearing, the court has no discretion but to grant the "deemed admitted" motion. CCP Section 2033.280; Demyer v. Costa Mesa Mobile Home Estates, 36 Cal. App. 4th 393 (1995).
With respect to whether responses are in "substantial compliance," with statutory requirements, substance prevails over form. Actual compliance with every statutory requirement is not required; rather, the response must achieve the statutory purpose or objective. Costa v. Superior Court, 37 Cal. 4th 986 (2006). St. Mary held a court must evaluate the proposed responses "in toto." The entire response, and not segregated responses, must be qualitatively evaluated to determine whether the response substantially complies with the statutory requirements applicable. The court may not grant the motion in part, and deny it in part. In St. Mary, verified responses to a majority of the requests in the proposed response were code-compliant, meaningful and substantive; the Court of Appeal thus held the proposed responses were "facially a good-faith effort to respond" to the requests. Note that unverified responses do not substantially comply with the law. Allen-Pacific Ltd. v. Superior Court, 57 Cal. App. 4th 1546 (1997).
Each answer in a response must be as complete and straightforward as the information reasonably available to the responding party permits. The responding party must admit or deny the request, or portions, true, or admit with qualifications, or specify any matter as to which the responding party lacks sufficient information or knowledge. If a responding party gives lack of information or knowledge as a reason for a failure to admit all or part of a request for admission, the response must state that a reasonable inquiry concerning the matter in the particular request has been made, and that the information known or readily obtainable is insufficient to enable that party to admit the matter. CCP Section 2033.220.
Once a matter is admitted, a party may move to withdraw or amend that admission. CCP Section 2033.300. This is permitted only if it is determined that the admission was the result of mistake, inadvertence or excusable neglect, and that the party who obtained the admission will not be substantially prejudiced in maintaining that party's action or defense on the merits. Further, the court may impose conditions on the granting of the motion, including ordering that the party who obtained the admission be permitted to pursue additional discovery related to the matter involved in the withdrawn or amended admission, or ordering that the costs of any additional discovery be borne in whole or in part by the party withdrawing or amending the admission. CCP Section 2033.300. There is a policy in favor of trial on the merits, and that any doubts must be resolved in favor of the moving party. New Albertsons, Inc. v. Superior Court, 168 Cal. App. 4th 1403 (2008).
Chodos held that a party to an action may not necessarily avoid responding to a request for admission on the ground that the request calls for an expert opinion and the party does not know the answer. "[S]ince requests for admissions are not limited to matters within personal knowledge of the responding party, that party has a duty to make a reasonable investigation of the facts before answering items which do not fall within his personal knowledge." Smith v. Circle P Ranch Co., 87 Cal. App. 3d 267 (1978).
The requesting party may move to compel a further response where responses have been timely filed, but are considered deficient by the requesting party. Such a motion must be made within 45 days of service of the verified responses (unless otherwise agreed in writing). If the motion is not timely served, the requesting party waives any right to compel further response to the requests for admission. CCP Section 2033.290(c).
Effect of a Failure to Admit Without Good Cause
When a request to admit is denied, if the propounding party proves the truth of those facts at trial, he or she may seek an award of the reasonable costs and attorney fees incurred in proving those facts. CCP Section 2033.420(a). Sanctions "shall" be awarded unless the court finds any of the following: (1) an objection to the request was sustained or a response to it was waived; (2) the admission sought was of no substantial importance; (3) the party failing to make the admission had reasonable grounds to believe that that the party would prevail on the matter; or (4) there was some other good reason for the failure to admit. CCP Section 2033.420(b); Laabs v. City of Victorville, 163 Cal. App. 4th 1242 (2008).
A determination of whether a party had reasonable ground to believe that that it would prevail on the matter is evaluated as of the time the response is made. Laabs found a court must determine whether the party making the denial "held a reasonably entertained good faith belief that the party would prevail on the issue at trial."
In Wimberly, the appellate court ruled that at the time the defendant denied the requests, it had no reasonable basis to believe it could prevail on those issues at trial; it failed to designate its own expert and should have known it would be unable to use certain deposition testimony of the plaintiff's expert. Since the defendant did not produce evidence to support its denial, there was an insufficient showing that the denial was reasonable. According to Grace, in Brooks v. American Broadcasting Co., 179 Cal. App. 3d 500 (1986), "in a vehicle accident case, the police report determined the plaintiff's truck had been over the centerline. The trial court awarded costs of proof after finding the plaintiff unreasonably denied he was over the centerline. The court relied on the fact the plaintiff's lawyer did not speak to the officers who completed the report because he 'assumed' the report was ambiguous. ... Moreover, plaintiff did not contest that issue during trial."
In Grace, the defendant testified at a deposition that he believed that he entered the intersection on a yellow light, and on that basis, denied the request to admit that his conduct was negligent, and that it was the actual and legal cause of the accident. The court found that this belief was insufficient to justify the denial, due to the existence of contrary evidence. The court noted plaintiff's testimony that defendant ran the red light; the police report finding defendant at fault; plaintiff's accident reconstruction expert finding defendant at fault, and the absence of a defense accident reconstruction expert along with defendant's failure to depose plaintiff's expert. The question was not whether defendant reasonably believed he did not run the red light, but rather whether he reasonably believed he would prevail on that issue at trial.
In seeking costs and fees incurred in proving a denied issue or fact, the requested amounts must be segregated from costs and fees expended to prove other issues. See Wimberly; Brooks. Fees and costs cannot be awarded if the parties stipulated to facts, even if the responding party had previously denied them. Stull v. Sparrow, 92 Cal. App. 4th 860 (2001); Wagy v. Brown, 24 Cal. App. 4th 1 (1994). Grace held that fees and costs are not awarded in such a situation because the purpose of requests for admissions is to expedite a trial, and a stipulation achieves that goal.

I just about spit my coffee onto my keyboard when I read that ... 'change my life' huh? Well if that's all it's gonna cost me for a life changing experience, I'm off to the kitchen gadget store.
So I'm sitting here having a cuppa joe, an Americano type of joe, that I made with my Moka Pot. Man I like coffee this way. Smells great ... tastes yummy. Is all very good. Makes me think I have to do some reading and writing again. Will do.


You've finally decided to add marketing automation to your digital marketing strategy. Good decision. If you're at this point and find yourself scratching your head wondering where to start, this post is for you.
Here at SME Digital, we're all about proving marketing effectiveness, and marketing automation is a great way to scale sales and marketing, tying efforts back to revenue.
Below are the first three steps to get you on the road to success.
Take a close look at each page of your website to compile a list of potential points of conversion. These conversion points are any point in which you request a response to your call-to-action.
Once you've identified these points, make a note by each that details what each response says about the lead's interest when they respond to your request.
For example, a lead who wants to contact you during their visit to your consultancy's website is interested in the services you have to offer. A lead who wants to download an ebook from your website is showing interest in the topic that ebook covers.
Tip: Some of these calls to action may already live on your site, which would mean you've already completed step 1 & 2 and would only require tying them to a landing page to capture information within a marketing automation platform.
Once you've identified your points of conversion and understand where the leads' interests lie, it's important to tie a desired outcome(s) to each one that aligns with your business goals. In other words, what do you want this lead to become, or to do next?
If someone is subscribing to your daily blog, you may want them to download additional content for more information and/or schedule an appointment to speak with a new business representative.
If someone fills out a "contact us" form, chances are you have the right idea if you want the next step they take to be purchasing your product or service.
If someone requests an industry resource, the outcome you want is for them to want more resources and/or purchase your product or service.
How warm are the conversions?
The warmer the conversion, the less messaging you need to get the lead to convert. A very warm conversion would be someone who responds to the "Hire SME" call-to-action. We know they are very interested and would not want to risk losing this lead by offering them a variety of additional content. This conversion calls for direct messaging that requests the information needed (name, email address, etc.) and communicates we will be in touch shortly to schedule a 30-minute consultation.
What materials do I need to get in from of them?
The content that you provide at specific conversion points should align with where the lead is in the buying process. The secret to turning leads into customers is to make yourself valuable to them at all stages on the path to purchase by sending them the right information at the right time. Refer back to my previous post for a closer look at how to align content to the sales cycle.
When and how often should I be messaging them?
The frequency of your messaging should align with your sales cycle. If you are an ecommerce company with a fast sales cycle, your messaging may be a few times a week to ensure you make a sale, whereas if you are a software company with a longer sales cycle, it may be bi-weekly or even monthly.
Striking a balance between conversions and unsubscribes takes finesse and a bit of testing to find what works best for your business. A good rule of thumb when deciding frequency of messaging is to ask "what do I have to say?" If you have valuable content to share on a frequent basis, you can send messages once or twice a week. But, don't send messages for the sake of sending messages unless you want your unsubscribe list to skyrocket. Your email reputation affects your deliverability, so finding a good balance is imperative to effectiveness.
Now that your framework is established, it's time to start building your campaigns within a marketing automation platform such as Marketo, Infusionsoft, Hubspot, Oracle Eloqua or Pardot.

Lebron James Gets Bad News
Ryan E.
The game "would you rather" has been a popular online game in which players are given a choice between two options. The choices are felt to be relatively similar in value, so it's interesting to see what answer other people landed on.
One of the most famous questions the platform ever asked was "Would you rather find $5 on the ground or have your local WNBA team win the championship?"
Over 85% of players chose the five dollars.
As a result, I wouldn't blame you if you had never heard of Britany Griner before she became a political meme.
She's the WNBA star who's been trapped in a Russia prison for about four months after trying to bring drugs across a border.
LeBron James' response to the issue?
"I would be feeling like, 'Do I even want to go back to America?'"
Man, it's too bad LeBron isn't the one stuck in that prison…
Enes Kanter Freedom, an NBA player who has his priorities straight, put LeBron back in line VERY quick.
"You are free to leave buddy or you can even volunteer for an exchange for her. Some people literally have NO idea what is it like to live in a dictatorship. Keep taking your freedom for granted."
Enes came from a place where freedom isn't a given. Would you like to trade places, LeBron?

Why our parents still have power over us

The thing I hated about being a kid, besides the bell-bottoms and night retainer, was not having any power.
Sure, I could throw a tantrum, maybe get my way now and then, but in terms of controlling what happened to me, the big-picture stuff, it was out of my little hands.
Most kids may not care about being powerless, but I always did.
It's not that I played Monopoly wanting to own Boardwalk and Park Place, but I at least wanted to be able to roll the dice.
I was 10 when my dad died, and about a year later I decided it was time to take control.
I wanted to be independent, and I needed money of my own for that.
I decided to get a job. Kind of odd for a child, I know, but I was nothing if not odd.
Child-labor laws posed a problem, of course, but then I found the one industry where youth is an asset.
I became a model.
I know it's cheesy, embarrassing, pathetic, but look, I wanted to earn money, and $75 an hour was nothing to sneeze at.
I signed up with the Ford Modeling Agency.
For a couple of years, every day after school, I'd call Ford's children's division and talk to the booker, asking her what "go-sees," or auditions, I had that afternoon.
By the time I was 12, I was regularly working for Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Macy's.
All right, so maybe working is a bit of an exaggeration. I was paid to put on clothes and get my photo taken.
Not exactly brain surgery.
On jobs, most of the other kids were accompanied by their mothers, pushy women who sat on their children like hens. Me, I went alone.
My mom worked, and the idea of asking her to accompany me seemed to defeat the whole purpose of having my own job.
I worked until I was about 13. That's when a photographer made me a proposition.
Well, actually, I guess propositioned me is the more accurate term.
He called me up one night after a photo shoot and asked me if I wanted to make $2,500.
I was a little confused, since photographers usually have to make deals through the modeling agency. I wasn't even sure how he got my home phone number.
He said he worked for some people, and when they came into town he arranged "meetings" for them. I still wasn't picking up on what he meant.
"All you have to do," he finally said, "is go to this guy's hotel room. Open a bottle of wine, have some cheese . . ."
Suddenly I got it. I hung up the phone and never told anyone about it. Not my mom, not the modeling agency, no one.
I should have, but I didn't. I quit the job soon after. I was 13. I may have had some money in the bank, but it didn't make me feel any more powerful.
I guess I always thought that when I finally became an adult, when I could make all my own choices, those feelings of powerlessness would disappear. But the truth is, they don't.
As an adult you can make your own decisions, you can eat what you want, stay up as late as you want, wear the same underwear for days at a time, but you will always be beholden to someone or something, in particular your parents.
No matter how old, or rich, or successful you become, your parents will always have some degree of power over you.
You may not see them, they may be old and frail, they may even have died, but their power persists.
It's a cliché, of course, to complain that your parents can make you feel like a kid even when you are fully grown, but the older I get the more I realize that all clichés are true.
Don't believe me? Here's an easy test of your parents' power over you. Pick up the phone and call them.
How long does it take for your mom or dad to make you yearn to get off the phone?
My friend Andrew has the record. He says it only takes his mom three words to piss him off. And you figure one of those has to be "Hi."
I have another friend with a demanding job who's greatly admired in his field. He told me a few weeks ago that his father still doesn't "get" what he does for a living.
"He has this magnificent gift," he says, "to reduce my greatest accomplishments to lucky breaks."
Another friend of mine says he can't stand his mother's unconditional praise.
"She has never once pushed me to do better," he says. "The thing is, why do I care?"
Why indeed?
I doubt there are any scientific studies proving this, but it seems pretty clear that parental power takes many forms.
Some parents offer too much love, others too little.
I know one 26-year-old woman who flies into a rage whenever her mother makes a passing comment about the jeans she likes to wear.
Then there's the thirty-something executive I know who still lets his mother dress him.
Some parents use money to exert control; others are more old-fashioned and rely purely on guilt.
My mom and I have gotten along remarkably well over the years.
She is the opposite of overbearing and intrusive. She rarely calls me, thereby forcing me to call her. Classic Sun Tzu.
And then, of course, there is the magical power our parents have when it comes time to present a potential spouse. Show me one master of the universe who isn't reduced to a quivering mass of gelatin when it's time to meet the parents.
Hasn't Ben Stiller built an entire career around this?
But the greatest parental power may be their inexorable ability to keep us coming back for more.
How many people do you know who quit their parents? Sure, we all fantasize about it, but who actually does it?
The nature of this power mutates over the years, like a radiological agent.
Parental power breaks down, it's got a half-life, but it always survives. Its more obvious, mundane aspects weaken over time.
When you're 5, your mom can sit on you in the aisle of a Toys "R" Us if you are having a fit. When you're 25, she's got to be more manipulative. When you're 50, she's going to be Livia Soprano.
The thing you have to accept is that your parents' power over you will not go away.
The best thing you can do is quit complaining about it. No one wants to hear an adult whine about what their folks did to them as a child or what they continue to do to them today.
There are only a few things more pathetic, and frankly, I can't think what they are.
To get power as an adult, real power over yourself and your life, you first have to accept that you will never have complete power.
It may sound like some 12-step Deepak/Oprah platitude, but it's true. Once you identify the power your parents still hold over you, once you name it, you'll find yourself be-coming more powerful.
My friend Michael insists that "everything you can't stand about your parents at 14 winds up being what you most admire about them by age 40."
I think that's true, but it happens only if you're able to see yourself and them in perspective.
So what if your parents still have power over you? So what if they still make you feel like a kid?
Get over it: That power is entirely in your hands.

"Can I bring my baby?" I recommend to get a baby sitter for the time if possible because you will probably learn a lot more if you come by yourself. However, babies are welcome if you can't find a babysitter of course.
You don't need to bring anything else apart from comfortable clothing to wear and a water bottle if needed.

Ed Hardy Geisha Makeup Solid Perfume Vanity Kit retail value for $35.00 at Uniprix drugstore or available on ebay.
I'll be lying if I said that I bought this palette because of the cute packaging and the cuteness of each products were calling for me. Admittedly, I'm a sucker for cute packaging and needless to say, I came home with this geisha on tow, lol!
It's my first experience with Ed Hardy Colors makeup product and I'm very excited to share some pictures of their cool shadow palette and color swatches.
I love how it's presented … the colors, signature Ed Hardy perfume/parfum solids, and that it has lights built in. Very cool! Good for travelling. I got this in blue box and it comes in pink also, which has different shades. And, to make it better, it's all under $15.00 on special!
It also has a mirror, and when you open the doors of the mirror, lights are on the doors.
Seriously! I mean seriously, how can you say no to this palette! It's freaking amazing.
They came together and made something amazing. You can have a lot of fun trying different looks from extreme to tame and having a fun blast time seeing what looks good on you.
Another cool feature about the makeup kit, is that the makeup brushes have "Ed Hardy" printed on them. Instead of using nameless makeup brushes, now you can have "Ed Hardy" makeup brushes.
I'll do a separate review on the lip gloss with color swatch on my next post seeing this post is getting lengthy as I go carried away with so much to share with all of you.
Both parfume smells amazing. I love the cue iconic design on this packaging. Easy to carry in the purse.
The color swatches from left to right are as follows: Navy Blue, Moss Green, Off White, Bronze, Turquoise and Dark Brown.
Color swatches taken directly from the pan.
You know how expensive makeup could be right, so to get that much makeup is actually a bargain! Buy one for yourself and another as a holiday gift. Must Buy!
The colors are definitely wild, and would go perfect with your favorite Ed Hardy outfit.
Leave me a product in the 'comment below, twitter or facebook! :)' box, and I might review it for you!
That Ed Hardy palette is gorgeous! I love the packaging and the colours BUT a mirror with lights? I need that in my life!
Loving this Ed Hardy box special value set you got! It has everything covered from your makeup to the scents & love the lighted mirror packaging, you got an awesome deal!
I had no idea Ed Hardy did makeup, let alone palettes like this! I'm really impressed with the pigmentation of those eyeshadows, wow! I'll have to keep my eye out for them!
Yes, I saw different makeup products by Ed Hardy, the eyeshadow palette, lip gloss, perfume, makeup gift sets with their iconic "Love Kills Slowly" on the packaging.
It has a very pretty makeup package …I am glad that you like this palette!
Yes, I do. Love the packaging and can't wait to play with all the pretty colors!
I love Ed Hardy, especially their packaging! I didn't even know this existed. SHARON… you find the best beauty deals. Is it a Canada thing? Because I don't even know where to look for such great items where I am. Maybe someone in the US will see my comment and chime in but I totally wish I found super treats like this!
I seriously had no idea Ed Hardy did make-up. It's not really my style, though I'm loving the idea of a palette that has a lighting kit in it already haha.
Reblog! If you miss this post, you got to check this one out.

In civil conflicts around the world, unarmed civilians take enormous risks to protect themselves and confront heavily armed combatants. This is not just counterintuitive – it is extraordinary.
In his book Resisting War: How Communities Protect Themselves, Oliver Kaplan explores cases from Colombia, with extensions to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, and the Philippines, to show how local social organization and cohesion enable both covert and overt nonviolent strategies, including avoidance, cultures of peace, dispute resolution, deception, protest, and negotiation. These "autonomy" strategies help civilians retain their agency and avoid becoming helpless victims by limiting the inroads of armed groups.
Join us for a talk with Oliver Kaplan to learn more about the autonomous protection mechanisms employed by communities in the context of the past and present internal armed conflict in Colombia.

Oliver Kaplan is an Associate Professor at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver. He is the author of the book, "Resisting War: How Communities Protect Themselves", which examines how civilian communities organize to protect themselves from wartime violence. As part of his research Kaplan has conducted fieldwork in Colombia and the Philippines. He was a Jennings Randolph Senior Fellow at the U.S. Institute of Peace. Kaplan received his Ph.D. in political science from Stanford University and completed his B.A. at UC San Diego.

Q: Fit triangular distribution I have the following data
dat<-c(16.254884, 14.077510, 12.851675, 19.152597, 11.511230,
   16.122911, 16.099962,  9.670949, 12.523661, 15.257432, 13.603848,
   14.118873, 12.632340, 15.413753,  5.426383, 11.369880, 12.895920,
   13.635134, 15.118388,13.154107, 8.913164, 17.302810, 14.968054,
   16.200151, 16.068944, 18.571952, 15.247535, 15.018281)

I am using this code to find the mode:
Mode_fc <- function(x) {
     ux <- unique(x)
     ux[which.max(tabulate(match(x, ux)))]
 }

Using MyParam, I am able to get the min, max and mode
MyParam <- c(min= min(dat), max= max(dat), mode= Mode_fc(dat))

When I enter these values into the code below fitdist works as expected
fitdist(dat, "triang", start = list(min=5.4, max=19.2, mode=16.3))

But, when I try to read in MyParam I get all sorts of errors
fitdist(dat, "triang",
 start = list(min=MyParam[[1]], max=MyParam[[2]], mode=MyParam[[3]]))

I know the issue is with optim(), but I have not been able to figure out how to fix this problem. Any suggestions are appreciated!.

A: Your problem (admittedly fairly subtle) is that the likelihood of data under the triangular distribution is zero (and hence the log-likelihood is negative-infinite) if any of the data are outside, or on the boundaries of, the distribution.  Illustration:
library(fitdistrplus)
library(mc2d)  ## needed for dtriang

Trying the fits (as in your example above):
L1 <- list(min=5.4, max=19.2, mode=16.3)
fitdist(dat, "triang", start = L1)  ## works
L2 <- list(min=MyParam[[1]], max=MyParam[[2]], mode=MyParam[[3]])
fitdist(dat, "triang",  start = L2)  ## fails

Let's break this down a bit and see what the actual log-likelihoods are for each set of parameters:
do.call(dtriang,c(list(x=dat,log=TRUE),L1))
##  [1] -1.935669 -2.159550 -2.311845 -6.045302 -2.510156 -1.947902 -1.950044
##  [8] -2.868448 -2.356862 -2.032059 -2.215681 -2.154794 -2.341722 -2.016325
## [15] -7.955320 -2.533557 -2.305925 -2.211875 -2.046264 -2.272062 -3.063767
## [22] -2.355858 -2.061854 -1.940724 -1.952947 -3.461371 -2.033063 -2.056619

All finite values.
(test2 <- do.call(dtriang,c(list(x=dat,log=TRUE),L2)))
##  [1] -1.926160 -2.150652 -2.303450      -Inf -2.502540 -1.938423 -1.940570
##  [8] -2.862702 -2.348631 -2.022796 -2.206960 -2.145882 -2.333434 -2.007021
## [15]      -Inf -2.526044 -2.297509 -2.203141 -2.037041 -2.263528 -3.059363
## [22] -2.375012 -2.052673 -1.931228 -1.943481 -3.533698 -2.023803 -2.047423

Two infinite values, which correspond to the min and max values.
which(!is.finite(test2))  ## 4 15
which.min(test2)  ## 4
which.max(test2)  ## 5

We can easily get around this by tweaking the minimum down a bit and the maximum up a bit from the observed values:
eps <- 0.100
L3 <- list(min=MyParam[[1]]-eps, max=MyParam[[2]]+eps, mode=MyParam[[3]])
fitdist(dat, "triang",  start = L3)

This works fine.

The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is the primary rate that major banks charge each other for loans of maturities not greater than 1 year. Banks make loans to each other because they are legally required to have a certain percentage on hand compared to their liabilities, and since this fluctuates daily with their business, they sometimes have surpluses to lend out or they have deficits that are usually eliminated by borrowing from banks with surpluses. Since most of these loans are for less than 1 year, and the interbank market for longer maturities is illiquid, and, therefore, difficult to price, the LIBOR excludes maturities greater than 1 year.
Treasuries are not taxed by the states.
Because these other factors increase the demand for US Treasuries, prices will be higher — and their yields corresponding lower — than would be justified by only considering the credit default risk.
A panel of 8 to 16 different contributor banks are chosen for each of the 10 currencies for which LIBOR rates are provided. Contributor banks are selected annually, and are chosen based on the amount of business conducted in a specific currency, their reputation, and on their creditworthiness. Some banks, especially the large international banks like the ones listed above, are contributors for more than 1 currency.
The LIBOR was 1st published in its current form in January 1, 1986 by the BBA, but began as a list of interest rates quoted by 4 banks for the United States dollar in the 1970s to serve as a basis for setting the interest rates for floating rate notes and syndicated loans outside the United States. The major impetus for calculating and publishing the LIBOR was to serve as a benchmark to settle contracts based on interest rates, including forward rate agreements, interest rate swaps, and foreign currency options.
The LIBOR for a particular currency is most depended on the local interest rate for the currency, such as the Feds Fund rate for the United States dollar, but is also depended on the contributor banks' expectation of future rates, the profiles of the banks consulted, and the liquidity of the currency in the London cash market.
Although the LIBOR is not set by the central banks, the interest rates set by the central banks do affect the LIBOR, which generally move together unless credit events involving banks causes them to diverge. Thus, the LIBOR remained high even as central banks were lowering their rates during the Credit Crisis in October 2008.
In this 5-year graph of the LIBOR, the increases in the LIBOR resulting from the central banks raising their rates and from increased risks of lending to banks in September and October 2008 during the Credit Crisis are both evident.
Since the LIBOR is not set, but rather is a reported average of what large banks have been charging and paying each other for each currency in recent transactions — or, if there have not been any recent loans of the reported currency and term length, then the banks give their opinion as to what they would have charged — no government or any of their agencies, including their central banks, has any direct control over the LIBOR rate. During the credit freeze of September 2008, banks were reporting their opinions since there was little interbank lending to go on. Banks were afraid to lend to other banks because lenders didn't know which banks were holding toxic subprime mortgages or derivatives based on subprime mortgages, and which banks had sold credit default protection through credit default swaps to holders of toxic assets, which is what led to the credit crisis that began in 2007.
Many financial contracts and variable interest rates are pegged to the LIBOR, which, on December 31, 2007 had a notional principal of $393 trillion (USD). Many corporate loans are based on the 3-month LIBOR and half of all subprime mortgages issued 2004 – 2006 had adjustable rates pegged to the LIBOR. Hence, when the LIBOR jumps, as it does in any general credit event affecting banks, the cost of loans increases significantly for both businesses and consumers, which limits both capital and consumer spending, potentially driving economies into a recession. For instance, the LIBOR jumped when Bear Stearns collapsed on March 17, 2008, and during the several credit events that occurred in September 2008, such as when Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy on September 15, 2008. Many banks also suffered major losses when Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were taken over by the government, reducing the value of the banks' stock in these corporations to near zero, which further increased the risk of interbank lending, and therefore the LIBOR.
Another reason why some bankers submitted lower rates from what they were actually paying is because higher rates indicates that the bank is in financial stress. For instance, Barclays Bank was submitting the highest bids in 2007, causing the media to speculate that Barclays was in financial trouble, so Barclays started submitting much lower bids to remain within the range submitted by other banks. Moreover, Barclays had no Chinese wall between the derivative traders and the banking officials who were submitting the LIBOR estimates, allowing some collusion between the 2 groups to maximize profit.
