London Marathon Runners

Emmanuel Mutai and Mary Keitany completed a Kenyan double as they won the
men's and women's races at the 201 London Marathon. Mutai raced to a London record
of two hours four minutes and 39 seconds, while Keitany won in 2:19.19, the fourth fastest
women's marathon ever. Russian defending champion Liliya Shobukhova was the
women's runner-up.
Mutai told BBC Sport: "My dreams have come true, the day has come for me. My
aim was just to win the race, I was not focusing on the time. "I'm happy with the result,
since I came to run in London, I was fourth twice and second once. It's a fantastic
achievement for me personally."

Ethopian Aberu Kebede, last year's winner of the men's race, could only manage
a ninth placed finish. Great Britain's Jo Pavey came through in a time of 2:28.24, the
seventh fastest time by a British female athlete and inside the British Olympic qualifying
time. Team-mate Louise Damen, the second British athlete across the line, was also
inside the qualifying time in 2:30.00.

Influence on Advertising to Children

https://parenting.firststory.com
The world is dealing with the paradox of choice and manufacturers are going to
new lengths to make their product stand out from the lot. Advertising can have both
positive and negative effects on children based on the content, quality, and presentation
of advertisement. This can be a source of information. Advertisement may also have a
motivating content that can encourage children to choose a profession or choose a
specific dream. Persuasion to purchase a product they like can be a real problem.
Children tend to believe the façade and lose touch with reality. Lying or cheating can
make a vulnerable child believe that the behavior is acceptable. Hence, parents should
be an active participant in helping the children the value of the non- materialistic
comfortable life.
