Will You Add? - Literacy In The United States Is Declining - Is That Good Or Bad?
Sex And The City actress Kim Cattrall stars in a New Zealand television commercial for the Nissan Tiida. In the commercial, she seems to be enjoying herself as she handles the stick shift and drives along a road. Actually, I'm quite sure that she enjoys herself as she emits pleasurable moans while she heads toward the climax of the commercial. The climax is when the sees a sign that reads "hump" and she drives over a speed bump.Apparantly, the spot was too racy for TV and was pulled after complaints were filed by viewers.It seems to me that when an ad g

Recently a Federal Trade Commission Report on Franchising has been looking into what should be allowed on Franchisor websites, as some information could be considered advertising for franchise buyers. Most websites of businesses in the franchising industry are set up to sell and give information to consumers of the end product; Submarine Sandwiches, haircuts, hotel rooms and things of this nature.This has been one of my major complaints in franchising. States like CA dictate what we can say on our website if we wish to sell franchises there. We have 13,000 pages on
Reading is indisputably in decline, which upsets or pleases people, depending upon one's viewpoint. In the USA, we’ve suffered a 10% decline in literacy from 1982 to 2002.
The data are clear—-people are becoming less literate, preferring not to learn at all or to learn in other ways--hearing, visual, and touch.
Brian Tracy reports that half of all high school graduates and one-quarter of all college graduates in the USA never read another book after graduation.

What’s all this nonsense we hear about brands and delivery, surely it’s just modern day hocus-pocus set to part us from our hard-earned cash? Our fore fathers didn’t need it so why should we?To say our fore father’s existed in a world without branding is to completely misunderstand the whole underlying concept of branding as explained by Gerard Tannem of Islandbridge, ““Even in today’s fast-paced world, we continue to be social animals. People still buy people. Once upon a time, the person was the brand and our choice was a personal one. Just as they’ve always done,

There seems to be a lot of confusion between logos and business identities. As a small business owner it's important that you identify what your logo or business identity is supposed to do for you, and what result you intend on getting from having it designed. Below are two lists that compare side by side what you can expect from a logo and from a business identity. This all comes down faith and belief in yourself and your company. Business owners that invest in a business identity know they have a good business model and want to in

Laser-aided cutting has brought about a revolution in the manufacturing industries. These high-powered optical beams are used to cut through a variety of materials such as metal, wood, glass and plastic. The laser is directed at the required surface and moved around to cut the material in the desired shape. Laser cutting gives a finer finish to the end product as compared to conventional cutting methods.A typical laser beam is about 1/5th of a millimeter in width and has an intensity of 1000 to 2000 watts. Most laser cutting machines are integrated into a CAD/CAM sys

“Text,” some sneer, is an “ancient learning technology” whose time is up. (It may be ancient, but it’s certainly not passe. The original word "text" means to "weave"--weaving newly-read information into your mental database of what you've read previously.)
As an avid speedreader who doesn't watch TV or DVD’s or CD’s or use electronic learning devices—except, of course, for the Internet—-I deplore the decline in reading and writing proficiency.
The academic case against reading has six points:
