Advertising

Advertising is one of the ways in which merchant and manufacturers market their goods. Advertising does two things, it tells the buyers that a certain product is for sale, and where they can buy it. Publicity also means the same as advertising, though usually with a rather special sense. If a manufacturer is about to open a new factory, he may advertise in newspapers and put up posters or display it in the media.
    Advertising and publicity both really date from an early stage in man's life, every trade sign over a shop is a kind of advertisement, and trade signs certainly go back at least as far as the days of ancient Rome. An actual display of the goods is another old form of advertising. In medieval times a good deal of advertising took place at the regular trade fairs held in importance centres. Fairs and exhibitions are still held today in the various parts of the world. There are various ways of advertising. Direct advertising includes not only circulars, booklets, and pamphlets sent through the post, but also handbills distributed in the streets, or to people's home. Advertising at trade fairs and exhibitions may include other forms of advertising than display, posters may be used on the exhibitor's stand, and pamphlets may be handed to any inquirer. Cinema advertising can be done in two ways, either short films which work up to a climax disclosing the advertiser's message, or posters thrown on to the screen. Now television advertising is of great importance, the radio is also a great medium of advertisement.

Why kids run away

Why Kids Run Away Remember how you felt the last time you got in a big fight with your parents or one of your brothers or sisters? That kind of anger and hurt can be what pushes someone to run away from home.These are problems faced by lots of kids and teens — and there are ways to deal with all of these problems besides running away. Kids who think about running away might not know how to solve tough problems or don't have adults to help them. Sometimes a really big problem can make it seem like running away is the only choice. Unfortunately, the problems kids hope to escape by running away are replaced by other — sometimes even bigger — problems of life on the streets. When you think about running away, you probably imagine that there will be no more rules, no parent to tell you what to do, no more fights. Sounds great and exciting, right? In reality, running away is anything but fun. Kids and teens who run away face new problems like not having any money, food to eat, a s...

THE RIVER CROSSING.

It is no military secret that an opposed river crossing operation is difficult even under ideal conditions. But without adequate standard equipment and with a poor level of training of soldiers and officers, it could become impossible. But the Army Headquarters and Supreme Headquarters had strongly advised against embarking on an opposed river crossing because of inadequacy of equipment and deficiency in the training of troops for such a semi-specialist operation. The Supreme Headquarters had advised on unopposed crossing while the division passed through 1 Division's secure position to capture the town. The Division commander decided to take a grave and calculated risk that could be called bravado. But if the operation had been successful, as it nearly was, it would have been one of the most praiseworthy operations of the entire war. In the end, it failed and the commander had to take the blame for it.     The first landing, in which the Division Commander himself took part,...

How to lose weight

Choose a low-carb diet If you want to lose weight you should start by avoiding sugar and starch (like bread). This is an old idea: For 150 years or more there have been an infinite number of weight-loss diets based on eating fewer carbs. What’s new is that dozens of modern scientific studies have proven that, yes, low carb is the most effective way to lose weight . Obviously, it’s still possible to lose weight on any diet – just eat fewer calories than you burn, right? The problem with this simplistic advice is that it ignores the elephant in the room: Hunger. Most people don’t like to “just eat less”, i.e. being hungry forever. That’s dieting for masochists. Sooner or later a normal person will give up and eat, hence the prevalence of “yo-yo dieting”. The main advantage of the low carb diet is that they cause you to want to eat less . Even without counting calories most overweight people eat far fewer calories on low carb. Sugar and starch may increase your hunger, while avoiding t...
