Avon is the company with well established customer base, however, some of the marketing campaigns are the failures.  The key marketing tool used by Avon is direct advertising when the company representatives offer their customers the new products, provide recommendations about the new trends and product improvements.  One of the recent innovative products is the Instant Manicure Dry Nail Enamel Strips.

Visiting the cities of the United States may turn into a pleasant and rewarding hobby. Each destination brings its own zest into the general taste of modern life – every town and city is different – location, terrain, climate, cultural life – there are numerous aspects to compare. We are going to compare and contrast the two popular destinations – Chicago and Orlando and see in what way they are different and what they have in common.

The Genesis, the part from the Bible, and The Red Tent by Anita Diamant are two different books, which describe events from the period of early Christianity.

They touch fundamental aspects of Christianity and give different perspectives of the events that became the core stone of all Christian faith. The books like The Red Tent by Anita Diamant are not only entertaining reading,…

Put plainly, a programming language is a set of instructions used for creating computer programs. The choice of languages out there is vast and there is no language suitable for all purposes. The language used by the programmer in each specific case depends on the program. Some languages are pretty much suitable for only mathematical and engineering applications, others for business and graphics, still others for creating games. However, there are a number of ways to define a programming language. Say, what the language is used for: it is something used…

“The three hardest tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts: to return love for hate, to include the excluded, and to say, “I was wrong.” Sydney J. Harris. This is a quote that changed my point of view on lots of things. Being taken from cheap paper-back edition, printed on small torn page and underlined by the girl I hated from early childhood, it changed my entire life. Being a child, I admired a great number of people, and once decided to make a list of them. Suddenly I realized the problem I had – there were too many of them and I…

Promissory note is a negotiable instrument that contains a promise to pay a certain sum of money to a named person, to that person’s order, or to the bearer at a specified time in the future.

Normally, in the ovary the corpus luteum secrets steroid hormones (estrogen and progesterone), which are responsible for endometrium thickening as well as its development and maintenance. It is one of the most important roles that corpus luteum actually plays. If the implantation does not take place the secretion of progesterone stops (normally it happens in 12 days) and corpus luteum decays. Corpus ablicans is the result of that degradation and it is in fact a fibrous scar tissue. Afterwards it is expelled through the vagina. The entire process in big mammals is referred too as menstruation. However, if fertilized, the embryo starts secreting the HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). Corpus luteum…

A community can be thought of as “a geographically defined area with discernible boundaries” (p.242). This geographic understanding offers new insights into community development, as a border serves several important functions: guarantees the physical safety, protects natural resources and cultural heritage of a community. These functions of state borders also apply to community boundaries. Like states, communities were developed in certain boundaries to assure safety though delineation of police departments’ geographic area, give preference to their residents in terms of resource usage, and undertake special projects to preserve their cultural heritage.
