  • What Is Brand
    WHAT IS BRAND ANS. A brand is a product, service, or concept that is publicly distinguished from other products, services, or concepts so that it can be easily communicated and usually marketed. A brand name is the name of the distinctive product, service, or concept. Branding is the process of creating and disseminating the brand name. Branding can be applied to the entire corporate identity as well as to individual product and service names. Brands are usually protected from use by others by securing a trademark or service mark from an authorized agency, usually a government agency. Before applying for a trademark or service mark, you need to establish that someone else hasn't already obtained one for your name. Although you can do the searching yourself, it is common to hire a law firm that specializes in doing trademark searches and managing the application process, which, in the United States, takes about a year. Once you've learned that no one else is using it, you can begin to use your brand name as a trademark simply by stating it is a trademark (using the " TM " where it first appears in a publication or Web site). After you receive the trademark, you can use the registered (?) symbol after your trademark. Brands are often expressed in the form of logos , graphic representations of the brand. In computers, a recent example of widespread brand application was the "Intel Inside" label provided to manufacturers that use Intel's microchips. A company's brands and the public's awareness of them is often used as a factor in evaluating a company.

Dutch side PSV Eindhoven’s clash at home against the Russians in a crucial match could affect Manchester United’s qualification from the group stage. If the Dutch champions win their final group stage match then Manchester United must beat Wolfsburg away in Germany to qualify. The match kicks off at 19:45 on Tuesday, 8 December. Thursday, 10 December 10, sees Scottish champions Celtic travel to Turkey for their match against Fenerbahçe featuring former Premier League stars Robin Van Persie and Nani. The match, kicking off at 18:00, sees the home side needing to avoid defeat to qualify. Ajax host the already qualified Norwegian side Molde at the Amsterdam Arena the same night and can qualify with a victory if Celtic also win in Turkey. Simon Green, head of BT Sport, said: “The final games of the group stages in European competition are always a vital and exciting time for teams and fans alike. BT Sport will give everyone the opportunity to watch these crucial UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League games exclusively live.” BT Sport is the only place to watch all of the 351 exclusively live UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League matches.

  • “We Were in One of Those Training Sessions Where We Would Run Like Crazy, and Bölöni Says to Barbosa: “Pedro, Isso Tá Lento” (“Pedro, You’Re So Slow”)
    Diogo Matos interview at TRIBUNA EXPRESSO – March, 2020 “We were in one of those training sessions where we would run like crazy, and Bölöni says to Barbosa: “Pedro, isso tá lento” (“Pedro, you’re so slow”). He replies: “‘Sim, László, talento!” (“Yes, László, talent!”) Diogo Matos won the championship with Sporting, but he retired from football at age 28, due to injuries. He ended up having a more active career off the field than on it, although his work is based precisely on combining what happens on the pitch with what happens in the offices, as explained in an interview with Tribuna Expresso. He brought management and training together, led the Sporting Academy, started to work with the Portuguese Football Federation in the process of certifying training clubs and is now a FIFA high performance expert - a position that he alternates with golf, which he started to play with former colleague, Phil Babb. Are we next to a golf course because in the meantime youve switched from football to golf? [laughs] No. I live close by, so it’s convenient for me. But I like golf a lot and I'm also helping the Federation to increase the quality of what’s on offer. Do you like it more than football? No, no. But I like it a lot. I think they are perfectly complementary, both in terms of physical and mental activity. It is a need that is being created and that is increasing more and more, because it is a very challenging sport, and I like challenges. How did you start playing? I started playing golf while playing for Sporting.
