Introduction In this unit, we emphasise the strategic importance of marketing communication, rather than seeing it as merely a tactical process of promoting the other elements of the marketing mix. Brands exist in the minds of customers not only through their experience of a product or service, but also because of the long-term effects of communication. Traditional marketing models fail to capture the complexity of contemporary consumer behaviour. Simple cause and effect can no longer be relied upon

Frog skeleton
The frog has large eye sockets on the top of its skull so that it can see outside the water while mostly submerged. Large nostrils also at the end of the skull help it breathe while mostly under water. The frog uses long legs as a spring to jump from place to place and to swim through the water. Frog ribs do not wrap around its body like most vertebrates. Its ribs only offer protection from an attack on the back. This makes sense because the frog spends much time floating or crouching with only
Compliment Chain-- Documenting our respectful behavior
This video documents the celebration of our first 50 compliments of the school year. Mr. Harry's students celebrate each compliment received by building a chain.

Galaxy-Quasar Associations: Is the Big Bang Bung?
When we see a galaxy and a quasar near each other in the sky, it might be because they are really near each other, or it might be that they are far apart and just along the same line of sight. Tests performed by Alan Stockton (Astrophysical Journal 223:747-757, "The Nature of QSO Redshifts", 1978) on a sample of such pairs have shown that some galaxy-quasar pairs have the same redshift and so are accepted as being at the same distance. Other pairs with very different redshifts however have been
