At the time, housewives used laundry soap bars to washclothes. Surf offered them significantly better clean, with much less effort. The promise of ‘superlative whiteness’ – the articulation of a great clean at the time, connected with consumers and helped to establish the brand. Surf was the first national detergent brand on TV; the brand used TV to effectively educate their consumers on how to use detergent powders in a bucket for a better wash. Surf Excel made a big “splash” with their “Daag Achhe Hain” advertising campaign. The following is an analysis of the first such commercial. The advertisement features a brother and sister duo walking home from school, when the little girl falls into a puddle of mud. Crying, she looks to her brother for help. Her brother gets an idea and starts “beating up” the puddle of mud, demanding an apology. After a time and a lot of mud on his uniform, he stands up and says, “Sorrybola.” The narrator then removes all apprehensions of dirt and stains and says, “Daag Acche Hain.”This advertisement is universally well-loved. This is so because it does a lot of things right. It makes use of children’s appeal to get the advertising message across.The advertisement does what seldom others do cater to the emotions and sentiments of the viewers – and succeeds with it. Not...

...Marlon Christopher T. Cadungog October 1, 2014 BSIT – 1B Ms. Jo Janine Nikkie I. Tuna English 1 Soul Surfer Soul Surfer is the inspiring true story of teen surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm in a shark attack and courageously overcame all odds to become a champion again, inspiring millions worldwide through the love of her family, her sheer determination, and her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. This essay will cover some questions and their answers through explanatory paragraphs. Compassion: Changing People’s Point of View Why does compassion change the way we view things? Let us first define it: It is the pity for suffering, with the desire to help or to spare. The definition itself explains the answer of the question. Compassion can be the natural instinct of a merciful individual who tends to help mostly those who are needy as of certain individuals - who are more likely Samaritans - being practiced. Compassion changes our viewpoint because of this, since it provides us the courage and will to change and to be open for new possibilities and opportunities, as Sarah told Bethany that it could move people to do great things and can also provide a new perspective. It could also be considered as a life changer, as it can greatly influence individuals that have gone through several trials and problems. It can also empower us to be prudent; being persistent enough to do good things with faith in God towards other people, especially our loved...

...Billabong International began its operations in 1973, thanks to the inventive of the founder, Gordon Merchant, who wanted to create new kind of surfboards for better enjoying is favorite activity (Billabong 2009). From the North Burleigh factory the company grew exponentially: during the 80’s Billabong went international, during the 90’ it consolidated its position in the international scene and from 2001 it began a series of acquisitions that expanded Billabong products from surfboards to wetsuits, snowboard, outwear, watches (Billabongbiz 2011).

For example a 2008 research of the firm BrandFinance, evaluated the worth of Billabong brand equal to $1.6 billion, 41% of the company’s value (SmartCompany 2008). That it explained with the fact that Billabong operates in the highly competitive and very brand-conscious surfwear industry. The surfwear industry exploded in the 80´: when it comes to garments, all the major technical brand began to be available not only to the specialists, but also to the rest of the consumer population This created a big opportunity for all the mayor competitors alongside with Billabong, but also put pressure on them, since they were force to find a balance between two different direction, one leading to the basic market of surfers and the other to the secondary market of the emulator.

...Soul Surfer In the 1960s, the term “soul surfer” was used to describe a surfer who surfed for the pure pleasure of surfing. Though they may enter competitions, a soul surfer is more so motivated by a spiritual, compassionate, peaceful way of life.

...What is the wave of future surfboard? This is a question that has been asked by surfboarding aficionados since the 1960’s. According to the Firewire Surfboards case study, many surfers prefer their “gear” old school or custom-shaped to order. At the San Diego based, Firewire Surfboards, developer and CEO, Mark Price, has challenged those very ideals with the creation of his far lighter, stronger, and more flexible foam to make their boards. The issue lies with having the surfing community accepts the fact that change must happen to launch the sport to the next level. Firewire Surfboards was launched in 2005 by Mark Price to create a surfboard that according to him, “Will create wave-riding magic”. Mark Price, a former surfing pro, understands that there is competition that can hinder the success of his business. The biggest hurdle for Firewire is the past. Many surfers prefer to have their equipment custom-shaped to order. To try to tap into this market, Firewire is introducing its first custom board line and so that their product can reach the “hard-core” surfers. Firewire Boards is prepared to sell the new line for a bit more than $600.00. On the other hand, Channel Islands (competitor), sell’s their off-the-rack boards for $ 650.00. In the end, many of the local shops are trying to buy boards from Firewire and put their mane on the product. Firewire is also looking to tap into the developing of boards for beginners that can help them compete with companies like Surftech...

...definition of determination. In her youth she pioneered to get women to be taken seriously as professional athletes. She has had to overcome many obstacles at such a young age such as the attack, rejection, and equal treatment. But these setbacks and sacrifices have led her to be victorious despite only losing one battle. She had a dream to be a professional surfer but it wasn’t as simple as that. Bethany Hamilton was born in Kauai, Hawaii into a family of surfers. At such a young age surfing was a big part of her life. At age eight she entered in a state-wide surf competition and won both the long board and short board divisions. Later, she was then the runner up at a national competition. Bethany had one dream, one goal in life, and it was to become a professional surfer. This all changed in the blink of an eye. At age 13 it was just like any other ordinary day when she went out into the water to do what she loved most, surf. Bethany was waiting for a wave when all of a sudden a shark bit her left arm and pulled her underwater. One shark was all it took to ruin her dream, but not for Bethany. After this brutal attack, Bethany was left with only one arm. She had to go through multiple surgeries just to survive. She lost over sixty percent of blood due to this attack. This not only affected her physically, but emotionally as well. “Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts.

...Soul Surfer is an autobiography about the life of Bethany Hamilton. Residing in Hawaii and her parents being surfers, Bethany was drawn to the water and surfing. However, at age thirteen while surfing with her best friend, Bethany was severely attacked by a fourteen foot tiger shark which resulted in the loss of her left arm right under her shoulder. Throughout the attack and the aftermath of it, Bethany remained calm, hopeful, and maintained her faith in God. All of these attributes led Bethany to begin surfing again and become a successful professional surfer and inspiration to many people. Soul Surfer and Bethany Hamilton can serve as a worldwide inspiration to motivate people to keep persevering through life even under unfortunate circumstances because you never know what the future has in store for you. This idea can be seen on page 198 when Bethany relates life in general to surfing and says “Life is a lot like surfing… When you get caught in the impact zone, you’ve got to just get back up. Because you never know what may be over the next wave.” This quote is an underlying message throughout the entire book and is applied to Bethany’s life as well as anyone in the human population. Bethany in particular faced a devastating hardship when at age 13, she was attacked by a shark while surfing which resulted in the loss of her left arm. At the time, it seemed as if her promising future as a surfer was derailed. However, Bethany’s determination and faith in God led...

...!!!What Is A Wave Period? Have you ever tried surfing? In order to surf, we need waves. However, there are things that a surfer needs to consider when looking at waves. One of the things that surfers look at is the size of the wave. For more experienced surfers, they will most likely want to surf on waves with a high amplitude. Also, it won’t be any fun if a wave appears and disappears quickly. Surfers will want to ride waves that last long, or waves with a long cycle, and so they look at the wave period. The __wave period__ tells us how long it takes for a wave to complete its cycle, or we can say that it is the time it takes for two wave peaks to occur. The conventional symbol for wave period is ‘’T’’, and its standard unit is in ‘’seconds’’....
