Is the Chinese language relatively easier to learn than Japanese?

Why or why not?

I’m a college freshman, and I placed into an intermediate level of Spanish. While it is a beautiful language, I’m sick of it, quite frankly.

I wanted to take Korean @ first, but unless I plan on working with the Korean community, I don’t see why I would need it. I can pronounce Japanese words pretty well, but I just hate the prospect of having to learn all those writing systems.

I’m majoring in Communications with a concentration of Speech and Hearing Sciences because I aspire to be a speech-language pathologist. One of my former English teachers (who is Filipino American) strongly suggested that I minor in Chinese because there are a lot of Chinese people in America and because China is becoming a world power.

Does this make sense to you? Would Chinese be the best Asian language to take? Is it hard to learn? On job resumes for a speech-language pathologist job, would I stand out, if I were to become fluent in Chinese?

Thanks in advance!!!!

I believe so. Japanese’s words comes from Chinese. The hard thing is the strokes of the Chinese character.

Also learn Spanish as well.

What is the best screen capture software on the mac to make demo videos?

I have SnapZ Pro which works, but I’ve seen better software that shows a little animated circle each time you click on something. Is this done with an animated cursor or is it part of some really nice video screen capture software?

I’ve used Jing and it works really well for capturing your screen.

To create clicks and stuff, I’ve used Qarbon Viewlet Builder and it does this great. However, it’s not freeware.

Good luck!

Does the fossil ‘Ida’ present a rare opportunity to study creationists in ‘damage control’?

By: admin
Published: March 10th, 2010

Creationists right now are in damage control; it’s code red for them as I write this. The public interest has been captured by science, science that leads people inevitably to the conclusion that the bible is not much more than a complete load of nonsense. During the next couple of days, I think we’ll see creationists doing interviews and talk shows, trying to deflect public interest away from science and trying to make the public doubt the information that scientists are giving them.

For the anti-creationists, is this a rare opportunity to see that kind of tactics creationists use when in this situation so that when this situation occurs again, and it will because finding fossils is one of those ‘sooner or later but definitely’ scenarios, anti-creationists will be better prepared to deal with the tricks, deceptions and generally unethical tactics employed by creationists to defend their dying belief system?

Ida is not really "the" missing link, just one of many. I can’t see creationists getting too worked up about it.

5 Tips To Picking The Right Online Business Success System

By: admin
Published: March 10th, 2010

Choosing your own online business system can either make you or break you. To achieve success on the internet, you have to think about the opportunities available for you to take on. In this article, I’ll show you how to carefully decide on these opportunities.

1.Choose an Online Business System

There’re certain kinds of systems available on the internet. To promote your own physical products, consider going for internet auction sites such as eBay or Yahoo! Auctions. You might want to take pictures of your products for credibility and consumer interest. You also have to think about whether you’d like to ship the products worldwide or just your country, the shipping costs, product delivery costs, packaging costs and the terms and conditions of those online sites. A number of entrepreneurs have become millionaires just by selling on internet auctions alone.

If you’d like to promote other people’s products and earn commissions from them, you might want to consider the internet system of affiliate marketing. There are thousands of successful affiliate marketers who have spent most of their time on the internet promoting other people’s products. You have to find a niche that you are knowledgeable about or you have interest in it. For example, you have an extensive knowledge on coffee. Build a website of great quality content on coffee, or coffee machines, grinders, etc and become an affiliate of Amazon. com to promote the coffee products you’d like to sell to your consumers. When consumers buy that certain product from your affiliate link that leads to Amazon.com’s order page, Amazon will track you and present to you your commissions.

To further promote your products or other people’s products, you can use the masterful system of web copywriting. Copywriting uses the direct response method of persuading the customer to buy the product. It is usually written in a form of a sales letter. Copywriting has been known to increase sales by almost 63%. You can also try your hands on freelance copywriting. Once you have mastered the skill from copywriting training, you may post your services to organizations that need a copywriter. A master copywriter could be paid up to $20,000-$25,000 per sales letter, making it one of the most highly paid careers in the world.

2.Select a Mentor

It is almost impossible to learn the secrets to a successful online business if you do not have a mentor. In my opinion, it is crucial for you to learn by someone who is more experienced. A mentor is a successful person who has made mistakes in the internet world and has tried out a certain system and stick with it. He has the resources for you to learn from and establish your internet business. For example, I use the system of web copywriting to teach my apprentices, using the strategies I have used over the years and has never failed to bring me profit.
Be careful when choosing a mentor. Make sure that the people who’ve learnt from him have benefited after learning and implementing his methods online. In this way, it shows that this scenario could be applied to you and that you can succeed as well as they did or even obtaining better results.

3.Networking

When you’re attending seminars or workshops organized by your mentor, get to know the people around you. They may have the resources that you might need help with like web design, traffic generation, etc. Thus, you’ll save time and money. You could also do joint ventures with them or create your very own mastermind group to create products together and launching them. In this way, you’ll learn more from the input that the other members have contributed. Who knows? They might end up becoming your business partners.

4.Constantly Reinvent Yourself

The internet is a complex world that is constantly changing and you have to keep up with it. Some of the techniques you’re learning now may not work after a couple of months or years. Tasking assignments like submitting quality content articles for traffic generation to your website manually may need you, in time to acquire software that will automatically submit it to various article directories. You will also have to work on your website and design it in such a way the content is completely visible for sales purposes.

5.Outsourcing

Once you’ve learnt all that you need to know, it is time to apply them. However, could you see yourself doing all this?

Setting up a website,Web design,Header graphics, HTML, Content, Copywriting, Video, Audio,Traffic Generation, Articles, SEO, E-mails, Autoresponders, E-mail marketing.

If you try to do all of that, you may find that the phrase “stressed out” is an understatement. Not only will you tire yourself out, you will also have a VERY slow start to your business. You have to outsource the workload out to people who have expertise in that certain field. For example, you might need a writer to generate content for your site, articles and emails or a web designer to handle web design and other technical details.

Do not give up so easily when things do not go your way. ind the problems and fix them. Make these things work out for you. An online business success can only happen if you put enough hope and effort into it.
