I like MailChimp‘s messages a lot. For example, right as you enter the web site, it says: “Send Better Email”. If you want to join, it tells you: “Join more than 8 million people who use MailChimp to design and send 600 million emails every day.”, and, more, the button invites you to sign up for free. The journey continues when you plan to register: “Sign up in 30 seconds. No credit card required.”. Even after you create your account, messages like these are commonplace: “Send a lovely HTML email along with a plain-text alternative version.” or “This is your moment of glory!” (prior to sending a campaign). Initially, I thought all the logic behind is to try and make things a bit friendlier, funnier and pleasant. I’ve seen some other CRO (conversion rate optimization) recommending practices like this. And, then, I go to this web site: Voice and Tone » Now, I know there’s much more to these message than I previously thought. It looks like there’s quite a science behind this, with user’s feelings including things like “Curiosity / Interest / Optimism” and so on. I suggest you have a look at the web site and consider adding similar things to your web site. Voice and Tone »
Based on New Research: The Best Time to Tweet for Clicks, Retweets, and Replies: “Tweets sent between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. earn the most clicks on average” “Tweets sent between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. earn the most total engagement on average” “Tweets sent at the 9:00 p.m. hour in the U.S. earn the most retweets and favorites on average” “When analyzing our tweet data, I did not control for these extraneous factors, and I’m sorry for the confusion this has caused. Analyzing the data as-is means that, when you see a result of 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. as the hour in which tweets receive the most clicks, this is an average amount of clicks for all of the tweets in that particular timezone. This is an important consideration for a couple reasons: – It means that large accounts with many followers have an unusually large influence on the average amount of clicks per tweet. – Especially in the early morning hours, these large accounts have a disproportionate effect on the average amount of clicks because of both the high follower count and the relatively low tweet volume from many of the other Twitter accounts.”
Focus 95% of your healthy living energies on: Cooking your meals from fresh whole ingredients while minimizing restaurant meals and ultra-processed foods (and remember too “minimize” is a relative term and one that you can continually improve upon but need not start at awesome), and then eating those meals free from distractions and ideally with friends or family. Exercising as often and as much as you can enjoy, and ideally more days of the week than not, while still remembering if all you can find are short bursts, they’re good too. Not smoking Cultivating good night sleeps (dark, cool and quiet rooms, no screens right before bed, set sleep times, no caffeine past noon, rare alcohol within 3 hours of bed time would be a good start) When indulging, asking first if it’s worth it, and second what’s the smallest amount you need to be happy? Drinking alcohol only in moderation (1 daily for women, 2 for men) Nurturing your friendships and relationships (source & more: Weighty Matters: Use the 95:5 Rule To Forever Ignore All Further Healthy Living Advice)

Take A Cold Shower Tony Robbins starts every morning by jumping into a 57-degree Fahrenheit swimming pool. Why would he do such a thing? Cold water immersion radically facilitates physical and mental wellness. When practiced regularly, it provides long-lasting changes to your body’s immune, lymphatic, circulatory and digestive systems that improve the quality of your life. It can also increase weight-loss because it boosts your metabolism. A 2007 research study found that taking cold showers routinely can help treat depression symptoms often more effectively than prescription medications. That’s because cold water triggers a wave of mood-boosting neurochemicals which make you feel happy. 8 Things Every Person Should Do Before 8 A.M. — Medium
Let’s say you want to search for someone on Skype, and that person gives you his/her Skype ID. You search for it. The trouble is, if that person has a name which is common, you will get lots of results. How do you know, when having the exact ID of a person, which of the names in the list are the ones you are looking for?
I found the solution online.
I keep receiving SPAM emails from that web site, and I thought others should know about this.
A few days ago, I’ve seen Mad Max: Fury Road (2015).
My conclusion?
The biggest complaint I have with the movie is not about action, actors, script, or anything else. It’s about having a soul. Just like most movies by Christopher Nolan, this movie, also, has no soul. The main hero has some internal fights with his past. They are ignored, or just mentioned (he says he needs redemption, but that’s it). There’s little to no romance between characters. The good guy wants to live, but, despite his actions (he fights a lot), he doesn’t let this be seen too much. When he sees some almost naked ladies with water on them, and then he shares a cab with them he has little to no reaction to them. Incredibly hot girls, long ride, nothing happens (being mad is no excuse). Even the lack of suspense (I talk about it in the current article) is an emotion which is lacking. There’s not lust for anything, for living, for pleasures, for ethics, for a goal, for nothing. “Look, I’m powerful, he seems to be saying, and I lived to see another day”. At the beginning of the movie, he eats a reptile. But he’s not fighting too much, he doesn’t care so much, he doesn’t have a lust for living. Not too sexy, in my opinion. The main character also has the big fault of not having any faults, he doesn’t seem vulnerable and human. Also, to decide that the good guy is good and the bad guy is bad, you need more than a mask, you need to see it through their actions. This doesn’t really happen. Other than that, just like in movies by Christopher Nolan, George Miller does a great job. Entertaining, nice script, good actors, good everything. One year passes, and all you remember is the action and graphics, but not too much the emotions you’ve had. Compare this with Quentin Tarantino, which gives you all the things above, and, still, manages to add lots of emotion to everything. And, also, he has suspense. As a conclusion, it’s still a good movie to watch, smart, good reviews and average grade on IMDb and so on.
Below, my feed-back (spoiler alert!, read my review after you see the movie).
In his new book, Liquid Intelligence: The Art and Science of the Perfect Cocktail, author and mixologist Dave Arnold reveals the secret ingredient for any perfect cocktail: salt. Just stirring in a pinch will cause the other flavors to pop. Because of the way salt interacts with your taste buds, the sweet ingredients will taste a little sweeter, the sour ingredients will be a little more sour, and your tongue won’t register the saltiness at all. It’s the same reason you put a very small amount of salt in pastries or ice cream. Just make sure it’s only a pinch and whatever cocktail you’re making will taste better than ever. Make Any Cocktail Taste Better by Adding a Pinch of Salt
On most of the blogs I own, I have a high bounce rate, between 80 and 90%.
I recently wondered – is it OK to have such a high bounce rate?
I’ll give you below what the general theory says, and then I’ll suggest how I view things.
