Lawyer Advertisement Ideas, No Spoof!

As with business, lawyers also need to advertise themselves as part of a campaign to get clients. And the Internet is one of the most appropriate media for this purpose. So what ideas would be better for the commercial?

Lawyers need to highlight their services, describe their portfolio or outlines various cases ever handled and won. Unless they have already been well-known, the advertisement does not need to be done intensively. The idea of self promotion can be put aside, just wait for "the victim" to come to hire them. Does this sound cynical?

Lawyer advertisement ideas should not promote things too dramatic or glamorous because currently you are not releasing a new movie.

The things that need to be done besides advertising promotions are as follows:

1. When shaking hands with a man you first meet. say, "if you have a case that I can handle?"

2. When the person is asking about you, say that you are not selling something but offering something

3. When the person has a problem with his marriage life say that you are not the angel of savior, you are just an ordinary person who wants to help others.

Okay, now the question is: Are you going to do as suggested above? What an idea! If yes. it means you need to advertise yourself. If not, you also need to do so. If you think it's a silly suggestion as it is straight to the point, you need to create your own narration to your ad.

Do not try me, my audience are comedy lovers.

Car Insurance? Which Do You Choose: Reliable, Cheaper Or Fast?

Which is the priority? When it comes to car insurance, what you need is a trust to support all facilities to make things easy, reliable, cheaper and fast. Where can you get all such services, anyway? First, do the survey and compare. Search on the Internet. Have a serious online activity to meet your need.



However, if your tour then gets distracted there, get back to your initial idea, and imagine--if necessary close your eyes first--that the car Insurance you're looking for, despite it is no more bounded by distance, place and space, comes from a trustful source . If you choose a reliable one, you don't have to ask your father in-law about it, right? Like, "What else, Papa? If it is not Cheaper? Faster?" Lol. It is more than: that everything is available online.



Again, don't get distracted. Because the Internet, on the one hand, is known as a home base for spamming, and, on the other hand, is a pleasure cage for anybody knowing no where to go. You can buy and sell car here with or without insurance. Whenever you need some reliable or cheaper stuff, things online can provide fast service whether you like to follow it up or no.



So after reading this, go, have your car insured. No matter how simple it is to presume as not reliable, cheaper, fast as what you have in mind, you should build a positive thinking.



Don't do as I do: build a dream of having a car by blogging!

Embrace the Quirkmeister!

You have to be one to understand one.
That's what I sometimes say to foreign friends who want me to get into it over Canadian culture and try to define something, anything that is essential Canadian.
Maybe I should just turn up k.d. Lang.
Really loud.
Then maybe they'd get it.

Her voice is immediately familiar and sends me to my happy place. There is just no other singer who can elicit in me such deep veins of melancholy and joy.
If you heard cheering down the street from inside that house with the red door, that was me, watching k.d Lang accept her official induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at tonight's Juno awards in Regina...me, cheering for the rightness of it all, and her fabulous speech.  

"I think the fact that I'm standing here receiving this award says more about Canada than it does about me, because only in Canada could there be such a freak as k.d. Lang receiving this award. Only in Canada could there be people like Stompin' Tom Connors and Rita MacNeil. So I am here to tell you, my friends and my countrymen, that it is OK to be you. It is OK to let your freak flags fly. Embrace the quirkmeister that is inside all of us.

And I'm not even just talking artists, every single person in this nation has the right to be themselves, live life go team go. I love you Canada, thank you so much."

This is not the first time the Edmonton born singer has stolen the show at the Junos. 
Here she is in 2005 singing a Canadian classic. 

Go ahead and turn up the volume. I'm right there with you.

Back at school, changing the world not so quietly.

Time has chosen their 2013 list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
This is the 10th such list from the magazine and one that measures future potential as much as it rewards current success in various fields. Only 35 women made the list, including Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl who survived a vicious attack by the Taliban. Her ordeal and passionate advocacy earned her one of seven cover portraits.

"Malala, the human incarnation of the inhuman Nietzschean precept that whatever doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, has been catapulted to prominence and handed the resources and connections to campaign on a grand scale."

I wrote here about Yousafzai last fall, hoping my children and their peers would include her when looking for heroes beyond the pop culture pin ups. 
(Missing the point)

Today, the young activist is back at school, this time in the U.K., at a girls school in Birmingham.
After a week where we were reminded of the unsettling tides of the new terrorism, can I help but be cheered at this video of her tour in her new school?

try to praise the mutilated world

Spring is taking her time to arrive.

Our neighbours to the south face yet another grim reality about modern life as another president delivers a eulogy for victims of a horrific tragedy and black helicopters buzz about jittery cities.

My own hometown where I continue to live is considering adding a casino to our waterfront that would torpedo the culture of a city that I love.

I see the tips of yellow peeping through the dirt in my yard but flurries still threaten their immediate arrival.

 I need a little help today. Fortunately, it's April. National Poetry Month. I hope to share some of my favourites in the remaining days of April but here is one needed today.
It is from a well worn collection on my shelf "she walks in beauty", a gift from my mom.
It was also one of a collection of poems shared in The New Yorker in the days after the attacks on September 11th, 2001.


Try to Praise the Mutilated World

Try to praise the mutilated world.

Remember June’s long days, 

and wild strawberries, drops of wine, the dew. 

The nettles that methodically overgrow 

the abandoned homesteads of exiles. 

You must praise the mutilated world.

You watched the stylish yachts and ships;

one of them had a long trip ahead of it, 

while salty oblivion awaited others. 

You’ve seen the refugees heading nowhere,

you’ve heard the executioners sing joyfully. 

You should praise the mutilated world. 

Remember the moments when we were together

in a white room and the curtain fluttered.

Return in thought to the concert where music flared. You gathered acorns in the park in autumn

and leaves eddied over the earth’s scars.

Praise the mutilated world

and the gray feather a thrush lost,

and the gentle light that strays and vanishes

and returns. 

Adam Zagajewski

Have a good weekend.

A Company With Natural Security Guards? Where?

Security Guards Needed By Big Companies! Great! But, correction. Not only by the big ones, but also by small enterprises! Indeed business needs conducive situation, therefore safety should be taken into consideration. And those looking for a job for this position must also have conducive personality. Strong mentally and spiritually.

Thousands Of Men Needed To Protect Business. Your job includes fighting against intruders and protecting a sacred spiritual document from theft and threat. So prepare yourself if you like to be a tough faithful security guard, start practicing and improving your martial art from now on. Go to the gym, have your body well built, unless you lack budget, go to the river and lift the rocks and stones there instead of having a comfortable workout in an air-conditioned room. However, if this sounds silly, skip it.

But, why silly? Think about side effect advantage.

First, you get back to nature. You can feel the fresh water flown from the mountain, unpolluted and might be potable. If you're lucky you'll see a crocodile there smiling at you. The crocodile won't bite you, because it knows you are so tough. You are a security guard most companies would like to hire. Your job is so noble that not only crocodile, but also lizard and chameleon will feel touched by your nobility and sincerity.
Second, the river might keep hidden treasure, who knows after washing your clothes and drying them around the bushes, you'll hear a whisper telling you to jump to the river and search for some China. Maybe ceramics, jewelry or diamond belonging to Ming Dynasty remains there. But if you think it's a bullshit, don't bring your buffalo there and let it empty its bowel.

Business might not need such story like this. It needs protection and safety. As soon as get a job in a big company as a security guard, ignore the whisper of nature as written above, okay? But if this kind of story turns you on while having a rest, I hope you still have a sense of humor on duty while everybody thinks you are the most intolerable person on earth.

"Senseless."

Justin Trudeau chose an apt word to describe the horror that broke Boston's heart this week.

We agree, shake our heads and shudder. 

If we work in media, however, we will try to make sense of it.

We will scramble for sources and work the phones, the contacts, and these days, keep a sharp eye on Twitter and all the myriad new media that can make traditional sources seem to play catch up.  

It is a dizzying race to get there first. 

Last year, our family got caught up in this very circus from the safety of our couch.  We began to watch HBO"s The Newsroom. Written by the brilliant Aaron Sorkin, the show was constructed around real life news stories delivered by an idealistic prime time cable news crew. It was hardly a hit as many critics deplored Sorkin's preachy characters and levelled charges at him of elitism and bias. True but are we to believe bias isn't evident everywhere else? I kept watching but that's no surprise.  Call me a sucker for literate speechifying and witty repartee. Old movies with flinging quips have me enthralled and I don't care if no one I know talks like this. No one I know is Ironman either. The point is an idealized version of humanity, which Sorkin's The West Wing did with perfection. I fell for the cast and the romantic underpinnings and ignored the irritating low points, for few writers on television can make the heart soar quite like Sorkin.

Now it turns out from the real life coverage of the Boston bombings, that Sorkin got it right, making him a prescient philosopher king who may also be a pompous ass for all I know but that's beside the point.

Earlier in the week, we saw that race to be first result in inaccurate reporting, first from CNN's breathless announcement, picked up by other news organizations, that a suspect was in custody. By the end of the day, they were backpedalling. This is hardly new and few journalists are innocent-we've all made mistakes in the search for the story. But these days, when the method of getting the story has been turned upside down, I wonder if all that craft that went into reporting is dead.

So what? Isn't it more democratic to demolish top down business models and allow all of us to make our own news? The immediacy of Twitter is damn seductive-we are enthralled and now accustomed to rapid fire discoveries. But when you work in a newsroom, as I did a million years ago ( see here) and discover there are rules to follow and methods to mine, you understand and respect that process and craft do more for the story than just getting it out. Suddenly, I hear news reporters on radio and television, adding qualifying tag lines" this is a developing story" or a "fluid story" or introducing their show as champions of "long form journalism". Restraint has always been important in complicated news stories but now, it appears to be a choice that one makes and then announces to others as an apology or...

 a triumphant line in the sand.

Or not. Here is how it played out on CNN.

Here is the now infamous episode of Sorkin's fictional but not-so-much Newsroom as they handle the news of Gaby Giffords' shooting. The episode"I'll try to fix you" has, says Salon magazine, become " prescriptive and culturally omnipresent" as the Twitter world lit up this week with references to Sorkin's show. It's worth watching the whole clip, if only to imagine a world where people actually behaved in this manner, and not just in Sorkin's imagination. While you watch, keep in mind that The Newsroom was renewed for a second season which will begin this July on HBO.  I'll be watching.
