As Brad didnt know what discount brand means. Here is my explanation:
discount brand is a cheap or low quality brand... (I thought this must exist, even if i dont have any marketing at all and i got one of my worst marks for the marketing course i had to take ... lol)

And after googleing i found the following defintions: discount brand: a rare entity, this is a brand, such as a discount warehouse, where its equity depends on perceived low price, i.e. good value.

London Business School uses the same definition...

Disount brand 1

Discount brand 2


I hope you know now what a discount brand is??

Rebound Exercise

Experience the relaxing effects of Zero Gravity,
enhance your vision, strengthen and cleanse
every cell of your body through the miracle of...

"Children seem to instinctively know that the 'bounce-ability' of a bed or couch has health giving benefits. Just like the bounce-able bed, rebound exercise uses three natural forces, gravity, acceleration and deceleration to strengthen and cleanse every cell of the body, all at the same time. Think about that . . every cell, not just certain muscles, get stronger and toxins are removed from everywhere simultaneously. Now, what other form of exercise can do that? " Linda Brooks, certified reboundologist
The miracle of rebound exercise was first discovered by Albert Carter in 1977 and confirmed by Kenneth Cooper's Institute of Aerobic Research. Scientists at NASA, the American National Aeronautics and Space Administration conducted controlled research and confirmed it to be "the most effective exercise yet devised by man." It is 68% more effective than jogging, but minus the shock and damaging effects on the joints and back.

You may be wondering why such a simple exercise can be so effective. With every gentle bounce, all 75 trillion cells of the body are pitted against gravity, acceleration and deceleration. This interaction strengthens and cleanse every cell while saving strain on muscles and joints. As all the cells in your body become stronger and healthy, you naturally become healthy too.

The rebounding action also activates the lymphatic flow and enhances the immune system which is vital for defense against foreign bacteria, viruses and malignant or cancerous cells. Bouncing on a well-built devise like the Needak Probounder 2000 will not hurt your joints or back as the special springs absorb 90% of the shock. In fact, rebounding stimulates regeneration and help your body to heal and remain young.

Since 1977 thousands of users around the world had experienced one or more of the following therapeutic effects by using the Needak Probounder 2000 that Carter designed with a team of engineers:
• Improves vision
• Improves balance, coordination, dexterity and endurance (enhances sports performance)
• Lowers cholesterol and triglycerides
• Tones muscles, supports glandular system
• Improves conditions related to arthritis, cancer, osteoporosis and other degenerative diseases
• Improves varicose vein and bladder control
• Improves memory, learning abilities and enhance alpha states for better programming
• Improves sagging and wrinkling of skin
• Increase metabolism and burns more calories


Unlike other exercises which target only certain sets of muscles, aerobic rebounding is a whole-body exercise. It builds up every cell and muscle, including cells of the brain, eyes, internal organs, tissues, ligaments and bones. After bouncing 5 weeks for 15 minutes, twice a day, I experienced a healing of my once-broken right ankle bones that had been aching for 20 years.

Rebounding may just be the answer to your health or exercise programme. Five to 15 minutes 2 to 3 times a day, will keep you healthy and fit. No outfit is needed. Just step on and enjoy. The rebounder is being used successfully in the training of Olympic athletes and sportsmen. So whatever game you take, it will enhance and carry you to a higher level of performance.

About 20 years ago, the Hong Kong Government invited Albert Carter to show its police force and firemen how to keep fit at their work-place using rebound exercise. A team of engineers were assigned to him and they came up with the best design ever that came to be known as the Probounder 2000. The Hong Kong government purchased 20,000 units.

The amazing benefits of rebound exercise has been proven by researches and thousands of users in schools, gyms, hospitals, rehab centres, homes, offices, factories and even board rooms around the world. Indeed it is being recognised by health professionals as the bottom line for health and fitness. It is the Ultimate exercise today and of the of the future.

An elderly woman spent a leisurely shopping at the mall. Upon return to her vehicle, she found four strange males sitting in her car. Frightened, the woman dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun. She told the men that if they did not get out of the car, she would shoot. The four men ran off quickly, whereupon the lady got into the car. Her key, however, would not fit. The woman realized that her car was the identical one parked a few spaces down. She drove to the police department and reported the story. The officer on duty laughed hysterically and pointed to the other end of the counter where four pale men had reported a hijacking by a mean old lady; no charges were filed

Figuring they could sell parts on the black market, two men broke into an auto shop and stole six batteries and five carburetors. As the two were making their getaway, their car broke down. The duo called a tow truck and were immediately reported by the driver. It was later found out that the car broke down because the battery had died.

Sanger, Texas - Four teenagers, including the police chief's son, broke into a funeral home. They had planned to steal embalming fluid, dip cigarettes in it and smoke them. But when they couldn't find any fluid, they decided to cut off the finger of a corpse and took turns trying to smoke it.

The Eagle Nebula, also called M16, is a classic star forming region, a place roughly 7,000 light-years from Earth where gas and dust are thought to feed the birth of new stars. Several hot young stars born in the process now live just outside the Pillars, physically sculpting the colorful structures with intense ultraviolet light
Few pictures of the heavens have intrigued earthlings as much as a 1995 photograph of the Eagle Nebula, with its soaring star factories dubbed the Pillars of Creation. Here was star birth in action, all captured in vivid color by the Hubble Space Telescope.

The interresting question all Astronomers asking ist, does the Eagle really have eggs in its nest that will become stars before the whole nursery is blown away forever? Will the Pillars of Creation live up to their name?

The Eagle Nebula created its first stars about 3 million years ago -- very recent by astronomical standards. Ever since, radiation from the hottest of those stars, a cluster of which are near the Pillars, has been breaking apart the dust and molecules that formed their cocoon. It's a little like the Sun evaporating water on a wet street, Thompson explained.
