advertising with little money

Establish an online presence. There is a variety of ways you can use the Internet for free advertising:

• Build a website. Use a free online webpage-building platform offered by a free hosting service like Heliohost or AwardSpace. Free hosting sites also provide you with free subdomains, so that you do not have to purchase a domain name, and you can include your subdomain URL on all of your email messages, blog and forum posts and directory listings.
• Author a blog. There are many free-to-use blog sites that allow you to set up, run and interact with visitors on your very own, customizable blog. Blogging on topics related to what you offer is not only a great way for how to advertise at no cost to you, but also to build a reputation as an expert in your field.
• Create social networking accounts. Gain followers, connections and fans by setting yourself up on social network sites. Link your accounts to each other, to your blog and to your web page in order to exponentially increase your Internet free advertising capabilities.
• List yourself in directories. If you are interested in how to advertise online in a way that does not require regular maintenance, then directories are a great option. Simply search the Internet for directories and listing sites like SICCODE.com, choose your category and submit your information.
• Contribute to blog posts and forums that are related to what you are advertising. Don't make it obvious that you are trying to advertise for free by pitching yourself. Rather, offer useful advice and/or information that pertains to the subject matter of the blog you are commenting on, and include a link back to your site.

How to write a good C.V

When it comes to applying for a new job, your CV could be just the ticket to get you that initial foot in the door and secure an interview – but how do you ensure your CV is added to the interview pile rather than thrown straight in the bin?

Putting together a successful CV is easy once you know how. It's a case of taking all your skills and experience and tailoring them to the job you're applying for. But what if you don't meet the right criteria? Well, I've put together the following tips to help you get started in creating a successful CV and securing your first (or next) arts job.

Get the basics right

There is no right or wrong way to write a CV but there are some common sections you should cover. These include: personal and contact information; education and qualifications; work history and/or experience; relevant skills to the job in question; own interests, achievements or hobbies; and some references.

Presentation is key

A successful CV is always carefully and clearly presented, and printed on clean, crisp white paper. The layout should always be clean and well structured and CVs should never be crumpled or folded, so use an A4 envelope to post your applications.

Always remember the CV hotspot – the upper middle area of the first page is where the recruiter's eye will naturally fall, so make sure you include your most important information there.

Stick to no more than two pages of A4

A good CV is clear, concise and makes every point necessary without waffling. You don't need pages and pages of paper – you just keep things short and sweet. A CV is a reassurance to a potential employer, it's a chance to tick the right boxes. And if everything is satisfied, there's a better chance of a job interview. Also, employers receive dozens of CVs all the time so it's unlikely they'll read each one cover to cover. Most will make a judgment about a CV within sections, so stick to a maximum of two pages of A4 paper.

Understand the job description

The clues are in the job application, so read the details from start to finish. Take notes and create bullet points, highlighting everything you can satisfy and all the bits you can't. With the areas where you're lacking, fill in the blanks by adapting the skills you do have. For example, if the job in question requires someone with sales experience, there's nothing stopping you from using any retail work you've undertaken – even if it was something to help pay the bills through university. It will demonstrate the skills you do have and show how they're transferable.

Tailor the CV to the role

When you've established what the job entails and how you can match each requirement, create a CV specifically for that role. Remember, there is no such thing as a generic CV. Every CV you send to a potential employee should be tailored to that role so don't be lazy and hope that a general CV will work because it won't.

Create a unique CV for every job you apply for. You don't have to re-write the whole thing, just adapt the details so they're relevant.

Making the most of skills

Under the skills section of your CV don't forget to mention key skills that can help you to stand out from the crowd. These could include: communication skills; computer skills; team working; problem solving or even speaking a foreign language. Skills can come out of the most unlikely places, so really think about what you've done to grow your own skills, even if you take examples from being in a local sports team or joining a voluntary group – it's all relevant.

Making the most of interests

Under interests, highlight the things that show off skills you've gained and employers look for. Describe any examples of positions of responsibility, working in a team or anything that shows you can use your own initiative. For example, if you ran your university's newspaper or if you started a weekend league football team that became a success.

Include anything that shows how diverse, interested and skilled you are. Don't include passive interests like watching TV, solitary hobbies that can be perceived as you lacking in people skills. Make yourself sound really interesting.

Making the most of experience

Use assertive and positive language under the work history and experience sections, such as "developed", "organised" or "achieved". Try to relate the skills you have learned to the job role you're applying for. For example: "The work experience involved working in a team," or "This position involved planning, organisation and leadership as I was responsible for a team of people".

Really get to grips with the valuable skills and experience you have gained from past work positions, even if it was just working in a restaurant – every little helps.

Including references

References should be from someone who has employed you in the past and can vouch for your skills and experience. If you've never worked before you're OK to use a teacher or tutor as a referee. Try to include two if you can.

Keep your CV updated

It's crucial to review your CV on a regular basis and add any new skills or experience that's missing. For example, if you've just done some volunteering or worked on a new project, make sure they're on there – potential employers are always impressed with candidates who go the extra mile to boost their own skills and experience.

beatles v stones

At a New York dinner party a couple of years back, a beautiful woman — who else would dare? — teased Mick Jagger: “Everybody’s either a Beatles person or a Stones person. Which are you?” Characteristically inclined to repel even deadly serious questions with an eye roll and a shrug, Jagger took this one straight. “I’m a Stones person,” he replied.

That response is telling. Ever since they pulled ahead of the Fab Four on the hipness front in the late ’60s, the Stones have been weary and resentful of Beatles comparisons. In fact, the bands were frenemies from the start. Jagger hilariously describes being intimidated by the Beatles in their leather coats when they came to see the Stones perform in their very early days. And as Londoners, the Stones would forever be gobsmacked by having to stand in the shadow of a quartet from, of all provincial places, Liverpool. While Allen Ginsberg asserted that the Beatles made Liverpool “the center of the consciousness of the human universe,” Keith Richards saw it somewhat differently: “I mean, Liverpool is . . . as far as London is concerned, it’s Nome, Alaska.” The Beatles, to be fair, could be equally dismissive of their surlier rivals: “I think Mick’s a joke, with all that fag dancing,” John Lennon once sneered.

Nonetheless, the Beatles’ pre-eminence is undeniable. Far more than a band that you might like or dislike in relation to any other, “the Beatles are a phenomenon,” the Stones guitarist Brian Jones once evenly stated to a British journalist. In the ’60s rock solar system, they were the sun around which everything else revolved, and the Stones benefited too much from the Beatles’ reflected heat to be able to deny it. As far as America is concerned, without the Beatles’ breakthrough, there could have been no Rolling Stones. When it counted, the Beatles wrote a hit song for the Stones, talked them up in interviews and helped get them a record deal. Later on, the two camps would stagger their record releases in order not to hurt each other’s sales.

 Even the most gnarled and intransigent veterans of the Beatles-Stones debates will emerge enlightened by this book.  Far-flung sources demonstrate how profoundly these bands’ songs, statements and actions roiled the counterculture. It’s hard to imagine any artist, musical or otherwise, having as direct a social impact today. Both bands have middle class pretensions. Mick Jagger was born into a middle-class family in Dartford, Kent, England.His father, Basil Fanshawe "Joe" Jagger (13 April 1913 – 11 November 2006), and grandfather David Ernest Jagger were both teachers. His mother, Eva Ensley Mary (née Scutts; 6 April 1913 – 18 May 2000), born in New South Wales, Australia, of English descent,was a hairdresser and an active member of theConservative Party. Richards too was of the middle class or from a family with those pretensions . So both bands came from the aspirant middle class if not the full blown middle class. The Stones though come across as a much more working class band while the Beatles not being able to stay the course come across as a kind of fey middle class art school band in comparison witgh the Stones.

poems and their sense 5th year

POEMS AND THEIR SENSE 

If we took a walk down the river, we would start at the source, a spring then.

This stream flows across the Common and kisses with laughter, a tributary, under the railway embankment.

Across the wide flatlands, there is a group of allotments, 

the soil fertile from the Ice Age

and more recent accumulations of love done and finished in the marshes.

And

I had one romantic dream

and designed a perfect trip through Europe,

a "story" I wish I could re-read, re-watch, and re-live over and over again 

backwards the rest of my life.

A "story" to compensate her back for in return.

Across all the forgotten places of Europe, I took her with me,

by cottages with old people and by streams where life just went on in silence,

the old peoples love long extinguished by memory but not by  nearness

and one day they were you and me.

Old people like this  you passed on trains in places you would never see again, they will be you and me, and love 

will be extinguished 

but nearness will continue

1.What does it mean "backwards the rest of  my life"

2.The line To compensate her back for in return. What is the normal language to say this

3.What happens to the two lovers in the end.Are they happy 

4.Why do you think the poet has one romantic dream

5.5. what does the poet mean about love and nearness

6.Whats the difference between a poem and a story

lovers and loving 5th year class topic for discussion

Rock-a-bye baby
In the tree top,
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks,
The cradle will fall,
And down will come baby
Cradle and all."
~  from "Rock-a-bye Baby," first printed c. 1765.

Probably for as long as nursery rhymes, fairy tales and lullabies have been around, people have commented about their stories' high-cruelty and high-severity of consequences.  The lyrics above, from maybe the most famous of English-language lullabies is no exception.  Yet many mothers understand the lyrics;  they understand how their love for their child is kindred to watching their own heart get up and walk outside of them - beyond their control - beyond their ability to safeguard, yet still carrying all of their hopes.

After hearing the artful lyric, a natural question that may arise is:

Why do our loves reside so often out on a limb?

I confess have no credentials, and no way to prove I know what it takes to be a “competent lover,” let alone a “good lover” (if such a thing could ever be proved).  But I can prove, using clear, objective measures, I am a good financial investor.
Being a Good Lover is Remarkably Similar to Being a Good Investor
To be a good investor, you have to look at most of your assets and ask the question:  Where are the best places to invest them?  As an investor, you cannot simply put all your assets into “cash in the bank” and play it safe most of the time – not if you want to experience better-than-average returns on your investments.

Possibly against many expectations, to be a good investor, to achieve better-than-average returns, you have to be exposed to huge downside risks almost every day.

Why?  The best investment returns are achieved through owning percentage ownership (or complete ownership) of business enterprises.  And the common stock market’s valuation of business enterprises is often “volatile,” a romantic technical word that practically translates to:  At the start of each business day, and each night when you lay your head down and try to go to sleep, you do so with the knowledge that on that day, or sometime during that night, you could lose a huge percentage of your wealth (as worldwide stock investors have experienced steadily, most nights these last seven trading days).

To be a great financial investor, you have to take most of your assets and invest them into enterprises outside and beyond yourself.

Love relationships are remarkably similar.
If an investor were to look at the daily percentage price moves of common stocks, they might be surprised to see that even during positive “bull” markets (where prices are appreciating) it is possible on most days for stocks to still lose value.  There can be more “losing” days than “winning” days in an asset class, even if the asset class is increasing in value over the long-term.
Even great investors’ assets can lose money most days.  Being a great investor is not about “winning most days.”  With investing, it doesn’t matter what happens “most days;” rather, it matters if you can realize great benefits at some point in the future.
Similarly, good lovers should not expect that “most days” are going to be winning.  They might be.  They might be in the big picture.  But if they are not winning most days, that sometimes happens – even when you are doing the right things and are on a good path.  A great lover, or a great investor, can feel, or have clear indications more days than not, that things are not clearly going in their favor. 
If a person plays it safe and doesn’t extend themselves every day into love relationships, they may face less drama, loss, and constant exposure to volatility.  But they are also less likely to have enduring love relationships, because love relationships, in the real world, involve volatile people, and the constant exposure to others’ actions, which are always beyond your control.
Investors who always focus on playing it safe, by always staying in cash or fixed-return instruments, don’t face as much volatility (but oddly, less-visibly, they may be exposing themselves to more risk – but that is a whole other long, complicated discussion – for another day, another post).  Almost always, in financial investing, the net long-term result of “reducing risk and always playing it safe” is:  The return-on-investments is less, and those kinds of investments (cash and cash equivalents) slowly bleed net value – as their purchasing power diminishes because of the effects of inflation (and taxation).
It is very likely that there are brilliant, great people who are successful for most, or all, of their lives because they spend their time reducing their exposures to risks.  But, personally, I doubt those people are great lovers – and they are never great financial investors.
To love is to risk.
There is no love without constant exposure to many significant risks.  Generally, the more you love, the more you expose yourself to risks.
To be in love is to be at risk.
You can reduce your risk of loss, but that will also likely reduce your involvement in loving relationships.

To be a good lover, you choose to live out on a limb . . . to some degree, all the time.  That’s where lovers live.  Similarly, that’s where great financial investors live most of the time.
