...Why Brands go native? An increasing number of companies are attempting to leverage the pull capabilities that social media offers, instead of pushing masses of meaningless content in front of consumers. As users become more involved in brand conversations, they do not want to be talked at but rather engaged with. Native advertising offers these capabilities and when it is done well, the benefits far outweigh the costs. All in all, it is a new form of brand promotion that can have an extremely positive impact on marketing goals. Native advertising is a form of paid media where the ad experience follows the natural form and function of the user experience in which it is placed. Benefits & Costs The benefits of native advertising are tremendous, for it consistently outperforms traditional advertising across all engagement benchmarks. 25% more people look at native ads over static banner displays, and it has proven to lift purchase intent and increase brand affinity. Additionally, consumers have been shown more likely to identify with a company because valuable content, instead of an unoriginal call-to-action, was offered. On the other hand, high costs can be a major obstacle for companies hoping to get a foot in the native door. While the price of traditional advertising has been averaged at around $3.50 for every thousand impressions, native ads come with a much larger price tag. Exact costs are not widely available yet, as each publisher is establishing their own standards...

...“Don’t run. By the silence it renders its solitude. Please don’t run” Peter plead, as Tom ran across the narrow hall, and sheltered himself, along with peter, in a dim room. Peter, a smart young boy with a cautious behavior, never really enjoyed adventure, however; he never really enjoyed being oblivious either, and Tom, a dimwitted little boy with a personality of a potato, always enjoyed dragging Peter along with him on his crazy schemes. “I told you, everything will be fine!” Whispered Tom strongly as he slowly tries to calm Peter down, “All we have to do is find them, and then we’ll scram, you dig?” A week earlier, as the boys were crossing out their to-do list, over heard a woman with information, information which was so important to them. They had thought it to be imperceptible. They dropped their jaws and shook to their knees, their mind imploded as they heard the unceasing sound of joy in their heads. “Do you believe it Peter, they’re finally here!” Said Tom as his head bobbed, “I told you we would find them!” Peter, worried as always, slowly began to twitch out of fear “We should just um… pretend we never heard it, Okay?” stammered Peter, and with a quick smack over the head, Tom shouted “ARE YOU JOKING?” The boys encroached a small dim room, filled with female clothing and smelled of a strong fruity scent, Peter began to slowly tear up, and whimpered “Tom, please I don’t want to do this anymore, what if she catches us, SHE WILL KILL US!” Tom,...

There’s a lot of thing that circling on his mind. He just had a fight with Shige. It was his fault. He realized that. He knew he was a very bad person.

...Comment on the film "The moments of happiness" "The moments of happiness" describes a story of an Indian family whose family members were living separately because of work. The main character, whose name is Raj, was busily working in New York City and had not came back to his own country for about 8 years. After 8 years, he finally decided to go back and see his family, especially his father, who had some problems with him before he went to New York. While he was there, his father was diagnosed with cancer. It gave Raj a shock. Raj tried his best to make up the things that he did not do with his father during the past years and attempted to get his father cured no matter what way it took. Nevertheless, his father died in the end. But his father shared every moment of his remaining life with his family members. What is more, he was never afraid of death and made every moment happy in his remaining life. Four issues in this movie made a profound impression on me. First, gender discrimination: Raj asked his wife why she needs to work, and rather than being a wife who looks after the house and children. Besides, Raj's mother said she did not study when she was young because she is a female. Second, racial discrimination: Raj put his all efforts into his work and eventually achieved success in his project, however, his company transferred his project to another staff member who is Native American. Third, immigration problems: To a foreigner, it is really hard to be a resident...

...Gender Communication Differences Many days end with a long commute home after a study intensive day of school or a hard day of work. Pulling into the driveway of a quiet neighborhood my mind is scattered and ready for relaxation. Walking through the garage I crack the fridge to grab a cold beer. Mr. Samuel Adams is the only supplement that will get me through the bombarding of conversation that is about to ensue. Just as I walk through the door a deep breath is taken. Finally I am ready for the various conversations my family will attempt to extract out of me, just as a dentist pulls teeth. Every day I experience difference’s in language between men and women. Conversations between each parental figure differ and provide concrete evidence about gender communication. As John Piece once stated “Communication is not only the essence of being human, but also a vital property of life.” As vital as water is to life, language flows in all different direction depending on its source. Humans use language to create a flow of conversation between each other in order to sustain relationships. Deborah Tannen writes there is a noteworthy variance between how men and women communicate. Rapport-talk is using language as a way of establishing connections and relationships with others (62). Since women are trying to establish relationships, they tend to speak more privately. Interacting with my mother at home provides an exact replica of how women chat at home. Walking through the door I am...

...The High Art of Handling Problem People Dealing with difficult people is a special skill—and an increasingly necessary one. By Hara Estroff Marano, published on May 01, 2012 - last reviewed on July 02, 2012 The walk-in medical clinic was about to close for the day when Susan Biali got a call from one of her longtime patients. Could the doctor please hang in a bit longer? The caller was feeling very ill and needed to see her immediately. An exhausted Biali extended her already burdensome day and waited for the patient to arrive. Some time later, the woman sauntered in; she was perfectly fine. She just needed a prescription refill. "She totally lied to me," the Vancouver doctor recalls. "Afterwards, I was so upset that the degree of my reaction troubled me. I'm a general physician with some training in psychiatry. Yet I couldn't put my finger on exactly why I was so bothered. I thought it was a flaw in myself." Eventually, she identified what set her off: "You think you're in an innocuous situation—a typical doctor-patient encounter. But the woman took complete advantage of my compassion. Then, not only wouldn't she acknowledge the lie, but she looked at me blankly and demanded, 'Can't you just move on and give me my prescription?' She made me feel that I was the problem." Bottom of Form Ever wonder how an encounter goes so quickly awry? Doubt your own perceptions? Feel thrown totally off balance by another person? Find yourself acting crazy when you're really a very...

...Love indubitably unites as much as it divides. This story is very much an example of the inconsistency between the personifications of the sea and the land, and the heartache this causes. The short-story is called “Sea Story” and is written by A.S. Byatt in 2012. Its’ main event is partially set in Filey, which is east of the Yorkshire coast and partially in Oxford. Although this is where the main events unfold, we follow a bottle from England and through the world’s vast oceans. The short story’s maincharacter is Harold, a sensitive poet with the ocean in his blood. The story follows him, trying to win his love back, as she studies eels in the Caribbean. Harold was born close to the sea and raised by parents whose love for the waves and the marine life were eternal. His father was an oceanograph, as was his grandfather, and Harold’s mother was an English teacher who wrote “fierce little poems about the waves and weather”. (p. 1, ll. 8-9) It was through his mother that Harold decided to become a student in English literature and this is the distinct difference between him and Laura. Harold chose life on land. Although he carries the sea at heart, he chooses to stay on land and become a graduate in English literature, whereas Laura chooses life in the sea among the waves and the nurdles. She is in ways the opposite of Harold; A “marine Goddess” (p. 4, l. 127) who rises from the deeps of the ocean and steals Harold’s heart. With her long and white-gold hair she ascends...

...His body shook violently from side to side blood and froth gurgled freely out of his mouth. He was writhing in pain, hands clasping onto his chest and his face was contorted in a picture of pure pain. Panic, bordering on hysteria, set in. I was caught off guard by this sudden relapse. I panicked, not knowing what to do yet afraid that touching him might further aggravate his pain. Time seemed to stretch into infinity before the ambulance arrived. I sat on the swivel chair at the doctor’s desk, my hands gripping the soft black leather handles of the chair. The doctor sunk back into his huge brown leather chair, clearing his throat before he began to speak. “Mr. Foo, according to the scan results, your son is suffering for cystic fibrosis, whereby his lungs will not be able to perform their function. There is no cure for….” I was no longer hearing the doctor. The pain that surged through my veins found its way to my heart, repeatedly stabbing it until I could no longer tolerate it. I felt total, pure disillusionment and my stomach churned in bitter bile. Why was this happening? Why, of all people, Terry? The fact sent an immense bang into my head, stabbing it with thousands of knifes. “…..don’t keep your hopes high. In fact, there is no hope unless a donor turns up. We have already placed him on the waiting list. All you can do is wait and care for him. Or maybe you can consider putting him to sleep forever.” Something within me snapped as the words “no hope” registered. Still...

...I used to think that I was just meant to be alone, that I never would find the right one. Sometimes I would stop to take a look at myself and think that maybe there was something wrong with me. Maybe I was so broken that no one could fix it. I usually take wise decisions in my life. But every time love came around everything changed. I put my heart on a silver plate and got the little pieces that were left from it thrown back at me. I was giving up on love and of all I ever thought love was. And then I met him. “It is scary”, I told him and shrugged. He laughed at me. “What do you mean?” “Well… what if we fall for each other and then it all goes to hell?” He looked at me and answered quickly: “Yeah, what if that happens? But what if it doesn’t.” I took a deep breath. This is how it is; you can take several steps back when someone else takes just a little tiny step forward. You can protest and say “Wow, back off! I didn’t come here to give my heart away and slowly dig down needle-sharp nails in it. That has been happening way too many times before”. You can do that. Or you can run up to him and start laughing while you’re kissing him. It is like choosing between always having a gray sky or having sunshine with risk of a few showers. Do you see how easy it was? “Jamie, you can’t go on like this. You have to start living again”. I knew Lydia was right, but my body didn’t seem to cooperate with my brain. My attempt to get off the couch looked more like...
