a new study has suggested.
Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the statistical likelihood of what job a person wil
l end up with, the study by the Office for National Statistics found.
Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything
from intelligence to length of life.
A child born December is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in
January will tend to a debt collector, they found. A February birth appears to increase the chances
of being an artist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots. Meanwhile, April and May
are said to have a fairly even spread of professions, births in the summer months mean a much lower
chance of becoming a high-earning football player, doctor or dentist.
The study was got by researchers who analyzed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations
using information from the last survey, the Daily Mail reported. Although these trends may be difficult
to explain, correlations between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis.
Spring babies are at greater risk of illnesses including schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, asthma
and autism.

| Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
