The kitchen, a very important place in the castle, is usually located a good distance away from other castle rooms and buildings, especially the great hall, which is a large room where people gathered for meals and other activities. This was because of the danger of fires. The kitchen staff needed to use fire for cooking, but since the kitchen was busy all day and every day, sometimes kitchen fires grew out of control could spread to other parts of the castle. Each kitchen also had a garden, where vegetables were grown. Back then, food could not be kept in refrigerators like today. Some vegetables could be stored underground, but not for long, so most vegetables were picked fresh from the castle garden as they were needed. But of course, dinner in the castle consisted of many other things, like bread, meat and fish. So, to prepare a full meal, many cooks were needed. The castle kitchen employed a whole team of people, some of them made bread, and others prepared desserts or cooked meat dishes.

?????? Digital advertising is booming, and this year it has become a $72bn industry. For the first time, more money has been spent on it than on TV ads. The explanation is simple: online video ads are growing both in popularity for consumers, and effectiveness for brands. To make video advertising easier for you, we published a new e-book: A Guide to Online Video Advertising, which features an in-depth look at the growing trends, and the best opportunities for marketers. In general, people are watching more video than ever on their smartphones and tablets to consume content. Increasingly, consumers are turning their attentions from TV screens, and toward digital brand messaging in the form of videos. Online video ads have proven to be more engaging than traditional TV buyers, as viewers reported heightened emotion response and a greater likelihood of taking action. In fact, young viewers show greater emotional engagement toward brand messages than non-branded content. This means that, with brand messages, online video ads may produce a better emotional effect on the audience. So, it’s crucial for advertisers to develop a strategy for effectively and efficiently reaching audiences across multiple devices.

M: You mean Mary, your friend since college?

W: Yes, it’s just some small things that make me feel bad. She forgets to close the fridge door after taking a cold drink, and she never cares to take the garbage out or fetch the mails.

M: Well, if I were you, I’ll talk to Mary about what’s bothering me.

W: I can’t do that. We’ve been friends for years.

M: Are you afraid you’ll offend her or something?

W: Yeah, perhaps. I still want to be friends with her.
