Color wields enormous sway over our attitudes and emotions. When our eyes take in color, they communicate with a region of the brain known as the hypothalamus, which sends a cascade of signals to the pituitary gland, on to the endocrine system, and then to the thyroid glands. The thyroid glands signal the release of hormones, which cause fluctuation in mood, emotion, and resulting behavior.

Are you someone who talks to yourself? An aspiring playwright? Both or anywhere in between? Wherever you fall on this spectrum, this guide will help you identify a soliloquy when you read it, see it or perhaps catch yourself in the act. In short, soliloquy is the act of expressing your thoughts out loud, even when no one’s there to hear you. Unlike a monologue, a soliloquy is a speech that’s always addressed to yourself.

We’re losing PPC ad data. While it used to show you almost all terms, Google AdWords now only offers specific keywords that meet a certain volume threshold. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has limited data from European traffic, and more restrictions could be on the way. This lack of visibility makes it harder to know what’s working and what’s not in PPC.

I don’t hear many people saying “for goodness’ sake” these days. “For conscience’ sake” and “for appearance’ sake” are pretty much nonexistent in my world, too. In fact, the only “for … sake” expression I hear lately includes a word I wouldn’t use in this space even if I could. So you might think, as I did, that these terms are on the outs. Therefore, you might figure, there’s no use worrying about whether they’re written with an apostrophe, as in “goodness’ sake,” with an apostrophe plus an S,

Out of all of the major social networks, Instagram has remained one of the most closed. It doesn’t let you put links in your captions. It hasn’t added as many other functions, though we do now have Instagram Stories. For a long time, it didn’t allow third-party apps to post to the platform. That last point was especially tricky for digital marketers.
