  • 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.

    AND SO WHAT IF CRISTIANO IS ‘TAPET ’? by Georgi FILIPOV (Bulgaria) / Laura TOMA (Romania) Summary The fight for the rights of lesbians and gays has taken big strides over the last few decades. But there are still some fields where to be a gay is an untouchable topic and football is one of them. The people from Bordeaux, football professionals and fans, are revealing the reasons which are not letting this barrier to be crossed. Article Have you ever imagined that your favorite player Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi is homosexual? Many fans probably have never thought on this issue. Others might have taunted the opposing star in anger simply because they suffered during a game. But imagine one of them to recognize himself as gay. Would you be shocked? Will you feel stuffed? Or you will respect him less? Perhaps the fans of Girondins Bordeaux should ask themselves the same questions. Yoann Gourcuff, one of the best French football players, was their idol for several years. And he is one of those who are suspected of being gay. But it seems that at least until the end of his playing career it will not be clear if it is true. Meanwhile Gourcuff is under pressure even from some teammates in Le Blues team. He was named “tapet” from Franck Ribery during the camp of the French national team before Euro 2012. ‘The issue is very complex, as in football the topic of diverse sexuality is taboo. Players prefer to keep it to themeselfes. There are players who have confessed, but after the end of their career”, Fabien Pujo, the coach of amateurs of Lormont, the second best football team in Bordeaux, said.

Benzema is always an option as the team progresses to attacking the goal. Ramos again showed nerves of steel to chip the ball into the net from the spot after a VAR review for a handball by defender Marc Bartra, who appeared to have been pushed by visiting forward Borja Mayoral. The Morocco striker also scored a treble two weeks ago. It is understood that with Benzema playing, he is the first line of attack amongst the BBC trio. The two goals made him the top French scorer in La Liga history surpassing Zidane. They also played out a scoreless draw in the WSL Cup in December that ended with a United triumph in a penalty shootout. But with just one minute go until halftime, Antlers grabbed a lifeline.
