People Who Are Bilingual Are Smart, Creative And Better Lovers

If you thought accents were sexy, imagine how absolutely mind-blowing it would be to have the person of your dreams tell you those three magic words in more than one tongue.
There’s just something about people expressing their thoughts in multiple languages that is so appealing.
It might be that they’re more in tune with their own thoughts and emotions.
Or, perhaps they’re just better communicators in general.
A growing body of research indicates that people who learn to speak more than one language throughout their lives have essentially trained their brains to be stronger muscles, making them smarter, more creative and more responsive to their own feelings and emotions.
But, after studying both Spanish and Mandarin Chinese for a few years each, I think there is something deeper to speaking more than one language than meets the eye or brain. It’s something in the heart, in the soul.

History of Advertising - The Pros and Cons of Advertising

History of Advertising

It is difficult to imagine how advertising worked before television, the radio and the Internet, but, in fact, advertising goes back to ancient Greece where people wrote " For Sale" on the sides of their houses if they wanted to move. In the Middle Ages merchants hung wooden signs in front of their stores to show people what they were selling.
The invention of the printing press in the 1440s had a big effect on advertising. Flyers and posters could be made very cheaply and by 1600 newspaper ads were common.
After the Civil War advertising agencies became popular in America. First they only sold space in newspapers and magazines but later on they also wrote and produced their own ads.
The invention of the radio in the 1920s and television in the 1940s revolutionized advertising. Companies could now inform millions of people about their products over the airwaves. More recently the Internet and e-mail have led to the development of new advertising strategies.

Market Myths and Polish Realities

An interview with Jan Olszewski
 Jan Olszewski gained his reputation in Poland as a human rights lawyer, having defended political dissidents since the 1960s. He was a top adviser to Lech Walesa and the Solidarity trade union movement in the 1980s. Olszewski was Poland's third prime minister after the collapse of the Communist government in 1989. He held the position from December 1991 to May 1992. In Poland's September 1993 elections, Olszewski's political alliance, The Movement for the Republic did not receive the 5 percent threshold vote needed for representation in the Polish Parliament.

word order - adverbs with the verb

Subject + verb + place + time

Toms walks to work every morning.

- some adverbs (for example: always, also, probably, hardly ever) go with the verb in the middle of a sentence:
 Tom always goes to work by car.
I always have to phone him. 

- Adverbs go AFTER am/is/are/was/were:
 The traffic isn't usually as bad as it was this morning.

- if the verb is two or more words (can remember/doesn't smoke/ has been stolen etc.) the adverb goes AFTER THE FIRST VERB
I can never remember his name.

- PROBABLY goes BEFORE NEGATIVE
I probably won't see you.
I will probably not see you.

- we also use ALL and BOTH in these positions:
We all felt ill after the meal.
My parters are both teachers.
Sarah and Jane have both applied for the job.
We are all going out this evening. 

What Does Cost Effective Mean When It Comes to Health Insurance?

Cost-effective health insurance usually means insurance that is cheaper to maintain than the cost of medical bills, but for businesses and employers, it has a slightly different meaning. Insurance for employers is cost effective when the employer gets more out of the program than it puts in and finds that the health insurance program does not interfere with its ability to cover other business-related costs.

A view to a sell: will Spectre’s brands get the traditional Bond boost?

Product placement in 007 films is nothing new, but it’s not always the big deals, such as Heineken’s in Skyfall and now Belvedere vodka for Spectre, that pay the biggest dividends
