Sadah

The state of "Sadah" bids farewell to the chief mason

The state of Sadah lost yesterday, God willing, the late Rajab Ibn Ma'doud (Abu Badr), who got off his horse after a rally full of construction, construction and construction.

The forgiven, God willing, was one of the signs of building and construction in his field since the dawn of the Renaissance.

His talent, may God have mercy on him, was innate, as he did not study engineering in specialized universities, and everyone testified to him with mastery and skill.

Drawings and pictures, like other things that we pass through, were shared by artists and photographers to provide content that explains the seriousness of the situation we are living in now, and that almost all countries of the world have been infected with this dangerous virus.

Where painters express that this virus is the enemy of the earth and people, because it may kill them or cause them to other problems.

Also in some drawings, it is an illustration that this virus targets the respiratory system, and infects the lung directly, which causes difficulty breathing in the affected person. This is an indication that the virus is very dangerous and cannot be underestimated.

This facilitates the recipient’s understanding that the virus targets specific organs in the body, which is one of the most important organs of the body.

And do not forget the most important role of these drawings, as it urges the public to use antiseptics and cleaning tools to prevent infection with this virus, as well as avoid mixing with others and avoid contact with surfaces and other things that lead to infection with the Corona virus.

And the most important of all is staying at home, to protect yourself and all your family members.

These drawings also contribute to strengthening the psychological aspect of people and encouraging them to stay safe, to stay away from everything that causes infection with this virus, to stand side by side to overcome this crisis, to cooperate with decisions issued to combat it, and to provide everything possible to end it and eliminate it.

One of the biggest issues the marketing industry has faced since its early days has been misleading ads which means hiding transparency or using false information of products to buy customers and increase companies’ income. According to a statistic in 2016, the size of misleading ads in whole world was about $800 billion while its size in Arab countries was about $60 billion, surly these numbers have increased because of multimedia specialty.

Misleading ads has many forms such as: cheating consumers using celebrities and influencers on social media to let them speak about the product or posting their images, Imitation of Website functionality, comparative information, lying with statistics by info graphs -in fact stats are easy to distort because most people don’t understand it even experts!

In 2009,  Dr Fanelli’s study showed that 33.7% of data scientists use questionable research practice. It can result in modifying results and biased interpreting of data that help companies to create a good mislead advertisement.

The most popular issue was when Colgate claimed that 80% of dentists recommended the brand! Consumers believed that 80% of dentists recommended Colgate while 20% recommended other brands. It turns out that when dentists were surveyed, they could choose several brands not just one. According to The Telegraph newspaper, this completely misleading statistic was banned by the Advertising Standards Authority, but nowadays many brands of toothpaste promote their products using Brilliant words!

As well as Reebok did with its shoes when they announced: Lab tests “proved” that the shoes work “your hamstrings and calves up to 11% harder and tone your butt up to 28% more than regular sneakers  just by walking!”. The FTC stated that Reebok paid $25 million for this deceptive advertising.

So, we all have to use critical thinking and being aware of these kinds of advertisements especially what affect on our health or skin.
