Not Experienced? Things To Know Before You Start

Filed under: Education Portal — admin @ 1:33 am

Web content writing is essentially a craft. It’s different from
writing for a magazine or academic writing. The main reason is
the short attention span of the surfers which means that you’ve
to grab their attention with graphics and great text. So, your
web content has to be to the point and interesting enough for a
second glances at least.

However, not all of us are prolific writers. So, if you think
that web content writing is not up to you, then you needn’t
worry about your business suffering. There are many professional
web content writers out there. And all you need to do is use the
internet to search for one who can do your web site content
writing for you. Or, with some help from us you can become your
own web content writer.

Let’s start with the title. The function of the title is to
describe the article or web content. However, this doesn’t mean
that your title should be a summary of the article. It should be
informative and specific, as well as eye catching at the same
time. For, example, if your article is about horses, then your
title should use the word horse. So, instead of writing
something like “Caring for Animals”, write “Caring for Horses”.

Then comes the actual writing. Even the best writers are often
faced with some starting trouble. So, don’t despair if you feel
that you’re stuck. It’s alright to tear up some of your initial
attempt at the first paragraph of your web content or article.
The opening paragraph is as important as the title. This is
because, the reader will read the first paragraph and only if
it’s interesting will he or she proceed. One option, in case
you’re stuck for an introductory paragraph is to write the rest
of the article and come back to introductory paragraph in the
end.

Also, it’s common to have more than one draft of the article.
The first draft is usually the rough draft which acts as the
foundation. Then you’ve to work at polishing this draft and
making it into the final finished web content or article. While
writing web content, you should also keep in mind the
requirements of the search engines.

The search engines have a different set of criteria like,
keyword phrases including keyword frequency, weight, prominence,
proximity and placement within the text and within the html. And
this criterion varies from search engine to search engine.
However, there’re a few basic requirements like keyword
placement within the text of web content and within the html
coding. And it’s the responsibility of the website content
writer to ensure that these requirements are met in the articles
or web content.

And if in the end you enjoyed web content writing so much that
you wish to become a professional web content writer, then there
are many web content writing companies that’ll be interested in
employing you.

Gender Roles and the Algonquian Women

Filed under: Education Portal — admin @ 9:30 pm

In this essay, I will identify the hardships placed upon Algonquian women by the English settler’s concepts of gender roles. I will also describe the women’s responses to the English settlers, and internal divisions between the Indian women and men.

Pre-contact Algonquian peoples “invoked a divine division of labor to explain and justify differences between men’s and women’s roles on earth” (Shoemaker 29). Thus, women were in charge of domestic duties, which included the cultivation of maize and other plant foods. Men’s duties included hunting, warfare, and the clearing of land for cultivation. English settlers were shocked by this division of labor; they regarded the male Indians as lazy for shunning farming and engaging in activities the English associated with the landed aristocracy’s favorite pastimes.

The response to the English settlers by Algonquian men and women reveal internal divisions between the two. Powhatan, chief of the Algonquian confederacy, tried to make the English his allies by supplying them with corn and women, and, at one point, trying to adopt John Smith. On the other hand, the Algonquian women were suspicious of the English. Many of the women refused to have contact with them, and “fled their homes in fear” (Shoemaker 39).

Another response to the Englishmen’s presence was to turn “a female tradition of sexual hospitality into a weapon of war” (Shoemaker 39). The women would lure Englishman to their villages, leaving their weapons behind, where they could be easily captured or killed.

Summer - A Time For Learning

Filed under: Education Portal — admin @ 9:20 pm

Summertime for college students is looked at as a time to relax and party for most students. Some students take the opportunity to do more important things with their summers but not enough of the do. Not all college students realize that learning is not all about what you learn in the classroom but it is also about what you learn on your own. Students should take the summer to not only work a full-time job but to also become an expert in their field.

If your major is nursing you should search the internet for nursing related forums and read nursing books so that you can become an expert in that area. If you are interested in owning your own business then you should find business forums on the internet and read great entrepreneur magazines such as Inc. and Entrepreneur.

Self education can not only aid a person at becoming an expert in their field but it could also improve confidence and creativity. In many cases you will find that the best learning you can get is outside of college. College is more for building teamwork and communication skills rather than learning.

So this summer when you are sitting around with nothing to do, go to the library or hop on the internet, you will be surprised what you find.

Why study abroad ?

Filed under: Education Portal — admin @ 12:23 pm

No two applicants have the same reason for studying abroad. A
global perspective and cross-cultural competence are crucial for
success in today’s world. Studying abroad will enrich your life
in many ways. In the present age, no person can afford to deny
that the demand for people, who are globally mobile, has become
a norm. Studying in a foreign university makes an individual
competitive, independent and responsible. Living in a foreign
environment gaining international exposure makes one adaptive to
different cultures and enables him to survive the pressures of a
competitive world.

Studying abroad is a rewarding, life-transforming experience
that complements any academic program! Nevertheless, there are
many issues you need to consider in deciding whether study
abroad is right for you:

What is the school’s focus? How is the curriculum organized? Are
the courses separate or integrated? What are the student
responsibilities? How are students promoted from one level to
another? What are the hours of study? How many hours a week is
the program? How much does it cost? What are the fees and what
is included in these charges? Are there extra fees for
insurance, books, and social activities? What is the location of
the program? Does the school have strict policies regarding
attendance, homework, and tests? There is a saying in America:
You get what you pay for.” But high tuition does not always
guarantee an excellent program”. Studying abroad may be that
crucial moment in your education that will change your life.
Nothing will be quite the same after you have studied abroad.
This is the absolute best time in your life to study abroad.
You’ll never get a better opportunity than right now.

Academic and professional programs and social activities on
campuses contribute to the all-round development of the
students. For example, cuisine, music, cinema and other customs
are commonly shared with others during the semester or academic
year. This sharing imparts an adaptive and progressive
constitution to the students. Broaden your intellectual horizons
and deepen your knowledge and understanding of international,
political and economic issues You’ll learn about YOURSELF,
become more independent and develop cross-cultural skills.
Building your resume (employers value international experience
in today’s globalized economy) Immersing yourself in different
culture and learning more about your host and home country
Meeting lots of interesting and resourceful people You’ll meet
some great new FRIENDS! See places you’ve only dreamed about!
Learn about yourself, be independent Test your abilities to
adapt and learn Enhance your career and prepare you for
leadership in your country or anywhere in the world. It’s one
thing to read about the culture of another country, but another
entirely to experience it yourself.

Ask yourself: How have I handled complex and new situations in
the past? Am I willing to try new things - everything from foods
to social situations? Am I comfortable making my own decisions?
Why the idea appeals to you? Do you want to learn another
language? Do I like to take risks?

Choosing an International School

Filed under: Education Portal — admin @ 11:15 am

Choosing a School Abroad

A major cause of concern for families moving abroad is the
provision of education for their children. Many worry that
schools in the destination country may not be able to offer the
same standard of education that has previously been available in
the country of citizenship. Research is vital prior to any move
abroad in order to make the best decision for your family.

Many countries around the world, particularly those with a high
proportion of expatriates, have a number of international
schools which use familiar models of education such as American,
British or other systems. These schools generally follow the
curriculum of their chosen model and teach in their native
language. A growing number of international schools follow the
International Baccalaureate which is accepted as an entrance for
university around the world. International Schools tend to be
located in the major cities of the world, although a few are
located in green spaces and these tend to offer boarding as an
alternative to a long journey from home to school. Most good
international schools offer a wide range of extra-curricular
activities that broaden your child’s education as well as
providing new interests and hobbies.

As well as the international school option, it may also be
possible to enroll your child into a local bilingual school. The
advantages of this would be that your child will quickly develop
new language skills and would better assimilate into the local
community. A downside however would be that the bilingual school
would most probably follow a different system than your child is
used to and there may be problems reintegrating back into
schools at home or universities. An international school would
be a safer choice, although these do tend to be more expensive
than bilingual schools. Whilst a school may describe itself as
an International School, it is important to check out the
nationalities of the students on role as some international
schools can have a student population comprising almost entirely
of local students. In these situations overseas students can
often feel isolated and unable to join in with the rest of the
school community.

Careful Planning

Before enrolling your child in any school abroad, make a visit
to the school and determine if the school offers the best for
your child. Take your child with you on each visit so they also
get a feel for the school. Some international schools will be
selective and others may have long waiting lists. Make sure that
the school you select is within traveling distance from home and
there is adequate provision for transport to and from school. It
is often quite beneficial to decide on a school first and then
look for housing after.

Forbes Magazine, The History

Filed under: Education Portal — admin @ 10:14 am

One of the most widely respected and important American publications of the last century is Forbes Magazine. Forbes Magazine was founded in 1917 by Scottish immigrant B.C. Forbes (who was, at the time, the leading columnist for the Hearst newspaper chain). Forbes was born in Aberdeen shire in Scotland and moved from Johannesburg, South Africa to New York performing various editorial and writing gigs just before he founded this vastly important business publication.

Forbes is published bi-weekly and contains up to 60 original and concisely-written articles in each issue which evaluate everything from the companies to the people that run them and has both a politically conservative and pro-business slant. Some of the topics covered in each and every issue of Forbes include articles on the worlds of industry, finance, international business, marketing, law, taxes, science, technology, communications, investments, entrepreneurships, etc. More than 5 million readers worldwide (and seven local-language editions) can attest to the longevity of this publication for the business world.

Coming up on its 90th Anniversary in 2007, the Forbes Empire remains one of the largest and most successful family businesses of its kind in the world. Steve Forbes, once a political candidate for President of the United States of America, is the magazine’s Editor-in-Chief and has a column in each and every issue called “Fact and Comment” which is quite popular with Forbes readers.

Each and every year, Forbes publishes its very popular list of the richest people and the biggest companies on Earth (who also, by the way, subscribe to this most accomplished publication). Absolutely no merger, ad campaign or lawsuit of importance on the planet goes unnoticed by Forbes Magazine and the stories in each issue will always vividly focus on the movers and financial innovators that are shaking things up in the business world. Forbes is also the best of the business periodicals that are published today for discovering new investment ideas and more investor focused than other business magazines. So, if you want to make sense of today’s incredibly volatile market, then read and you will be as enlightened as the giants of this most respected of industries are

Don’t purchase a Magazine Subscription through my site, you wouldn’t want to see my ugly mug on Forbes Magazine next top richest people in the world list.

Making Genius

Filed under: Education Portal — admin @ 8:47 am

In his excellent book: “Scientific Genius, Dean Keith Simonton of the USC-Davis, suggests that genuises are forming more novel combinations than the merely talented. His theory has etymology behind it: Cogito- “I think”- orginally connoted “shake together”. Intelligo, the root of intelligence, means to “select among”. This is a clear early indication about the utility of permitting ideas and thoughts to randomly combine with each other and selecting from the many the few to retain.

Like the highly intelligent child with a case of Legos, the genius is constantly combining and re-combining ideas, images, thoughts into different combinations on both the conscious and unconscious levels.

When asked how he was able to come to E=MC2, Einstein called it “combinatory play”. He hadn’t, after all, invented energy, mass or speed but he was able to look at the same world as everybody else and come up with something different. In fact, he considerd this combinatory play to be essential to his thinking.

In my book: “The Secret Creator Within”- 23 Ways To Awaken Your Creative Genius, I actually start my treatise with this important idea by presenting my first ‘Creative Pop’ after a much quoted line from Linus Pauling, the great chemist:

“The best way to get a good idea
is to get lots of ideas.”

To illustrate this concept let’s take Tony Bennet. It has been said of him: “Tony Bennet never sings the same song—once.”

When he was asked if he ever got tired of singing “I Left My Heart In San Francisco” his answer was revealing.

“Do you ever get tired of making love?”

When I heard him say this I wondered how could a man who has performed the same song thousands of times, surely on every occassion he’s had to do a concert in a very long career, still find it so new , so fresh, so exciting that he could compare it to making love?

It’s because he has found the magic in our ‘Creative Pop’— each time he goes on stage he’s looking for ALL the ways this song can be expressed. And after these many years, the countless perfomances of this, his biggest hit, he’s still searching for the next best answer.

It’s amazing when you think about it—he hasn’t exhausted the possibilities—after some fifty years.

The lyrics never changed, “the city by the bay” never went anywhere new, the “cable cars still flew half-way to the stars” each time. The basic melody never changed. But this mastersinger could vary the nuance, the phrasing, the tempo, or the scale each time into a myriad of exciting new combinations.

It’s true Tony Bennet never sings the same song—once!

Did TV producer Lorne Michaels stay with the same cast of Saturday Night Live? No, he constantly looked for new talent, skits, and ways to present humor. He too, always on the quest for the next answer.

Did writer/producer Norman Lear stop creating TV sitcoms when All In The Family was a blow out success? No, he went ‘Uptown’ and everywhere else in his creative search because he kept generating the next idea.

Did Bill Gates stop growing his tiny company in 1975 or stop with his first successful idea, a prototype software package, and halt with the name Microsoft? No.

Mr. Gates went on to the next ideas, and still hasn’t finished finding all of them. He eventually became the richest man in the world.

One way of looking at a problem just doens’t cut it and certainly doesn’t generate genius.

So, how is this done? How can we start to ‘awaken’ creative genius? To explore this I lean heavily on a theory I’ve developed based on a comment by Charles DuBois. He said:

“The important thing is this:
to be able
at any moment to scarifice
that which we are for
that which we could become.”

If we ponder these words carefully, and then ask ourselves: what stops us from creating more ideas and solutions, what makes us so satisfied with the one answer we usually can find? We discover a key in the above quotation from Dubois.

Very often its because we cherish our current state, that immidiate solution, so much that we become too afraid or too timid in changing or discarding it. We’ve been taught, through education and experience, to be afraid of change.

Make no mistake about it, generating the next answer requires a change in your thinking and motivation. It takes courage, too. You must sacrifice what you’ve already found as soon as you find it. Who would want to do that? No one does. No one except ‘original thinkers’ and creative geniuses.

To them this is second nature. They are so content in combining ideas and shuffling together one position against another that they hardly find much sacrifice in losing a single solution shortly after its discovery. There is a sort of inner converstation that is constantly pulsing— which they heed— because it leads to real breakthrough, what I call ‘original’ thinking.

7 Suggestions for Choosing a College When the College Chooses You

Filed under: Education Portal — admin @ 12:49 pm

How do I choose a college that is right for me? This is the question that I’m asked at least once a week. And frankly, it isn’t easy trying to explain to students (and their parents) one very basic fact of the college admissions process: You don’t choose the college. The college chooses you.

Here is a very simple way you can look at this complicated process.

You and a crowd of high school graduates are standing on one side of a big field. Each one of you desperately wants to go to a good college. On the other side of the field are all the colleges and universities that exist in the country. After assessing your qualifications (merit), you send applications to all of the schools that you wish to attend. The admissions officer at those schools sends you a letter of acceptance or rejection. Out of your acceptances, you pick one college and walk across that field and through the doors of that particular institution. For different reasons, different students will go to different colleges and some will not go at all.

Did you make the choice or did someone make it for you? Usually, the college makes the choice for you. You get to choose from those schools that actually choose you. For the most part, the people who work in college admissions are gatekeepers. They can accept or reject your application at will. If necessary, they can come up with some pretty convincing evidence to support their decisions: high or low entrance exam scores, excellent or poor grades, outstanding or terrible writing samples, or an abundance or lack of extracurricular activities.

Based on such criteria, it seems as if everybody in that big open field is getting a fair shot based on merit. But this only disguises some of the built in advantages that go to you if you are a student who has the “right” background. The reality is that most students just don’t have the “right” background. Supposedly, the good news about higher education is that it is egalitarian. Regardless of your background, there is a college on the other side of that field that fits you–all the way from the community college with its open door admissions policy to the elite university with its not-so-open door admissions policy. It seems as if that great tracking system you thought you escaped in high school tracks you right into college and your place in society.

So are you going to choose or be chosen? With very few exceptions, most of you will be chosen. It hurts me to say that because it suggests that there is something terribly twisted about our entire educational system. Maybe, it is. Maybe, it isn’t. Until the verdict comes in, here’s what I suggest you do:

Suggestion #1

Know that the college admissions process is a game mostly decided by people who must make assumptions about you, your abilities, and your potential.

Suggestion #2

Know that most colleges cannot afford to be overly selective or they’d go out of business.

Suggestion #3

Know that your determination and your ideas can lead you to success, in spite of your background.

Suggestion #4

Know that going to an elite college doesn’t necessarily mean you will get a good education and a high-status career.

Suggestion #5

Know that going to a community college doesn’t necessarily mean you will get a bad education and a dead-end job.

Suggestion #6

Know that you are always much more than where you go to college and the amount of tuition you are able to pay.

Suggestion #7

Not only should you know this…you have to believe it.

Film Financing - Can Film Graduates Take the Challenge?

Filed under: Education Portal — admin @ 6:34 am

(Copyright 2005)

Graduates from a Film Studies program have a new opportunity in
film & video production. Of course, with every opportunity comes
a challenge - and in this case, the challenge is to find
financing for your, or your employer’s, projects.

With the advent of digital equipment the scope of film & video
production has widened. The usual Hollywood styled film
production is no longer the only route to a career for film
graduates. There are a multitude of opportunities in audio and
visual applications throughout business, government and the
entertainment industry. That means OPPORTUNITY for the keenest
graduates to produce their own film & video projects, or to land
the most interesting positions with leading film & video
production companies.

Financing has been a dirty word for years in the film industry.
The ‘Blue Suits’ and the cold heart of the banker are synonymous
with the enemy of the creative. However, in this new era of
opportunity you need to be both the ‘Blue Suit’ and the creative.

How do you find a way to learn about film financing, film
budgeting, etc.? First let’s look at Film Studies programs.

There are so many Film Study programs available now that I find
it confusing, and I’ve worked in the film industry for over 20
years. The Universities are taking a Liberal Arts degree
approach to their curriculums, and the Colleges/Schools are
primarily taking a hands-on technical approach. In either case,
it is unarguable that Film Studies is big business. The
following excerpt from The New York Times Company, published
March 6, 2005©, made it clear to me how big a business Film
Studies really is:

“Some 600 colleges and universities in the United States offer
programs in film studies or related subjects, a number that has
grown steadily over the years…. At the University of Southern
California, whose School of Cinema-Television is the nation’s
oldest film school (established in 1929), fully half of the
university’s 16,500 undergraduate students take at least one
cinema/ television class.”

Which College, School or University will best prepare the
graduate for a career in film & video? If a student has invested
2 to 4 years of their lives in this degree, how can they turn it
into a worthwhile career?

Let’s see what the Universities say about their own programs,
and the kind of results they expect - that is, what the Graduate
will be capable of when entering the work force. This
promotional letter, posted on one University’s web site, says it
all:

“A major in Film Studies is not an occupational or professional
degree. A sound program of studies in this discipline, however,
should qualify a student for a variety of vocational
possibilities. Obviously an individual will need to employ his
or her knowledge about film in either a creative or a practical
capacity and, in either case, exercise the judgment and
initiative that a rigorous pursuit of a major in Film Studies
should develop.”

The use of ’should’ twice in three sentences tells the story -
it’s up to you, Bud!

Film Studies programs (at any level) either don’t address, or
don’t address strongly enough, the major force behind all film
and video production - the MONEY! If the word money is brought
up at all, it’s only a handshake and a nod. Most undergraduate
programs have very little mention of Film Budgeting, and such
things as Cost Reports and Business Plans are treated as foreign
topics entirely. The Masters programs are only slightly better.

The reason for the void of information on such things as Film
Budgets, Cost Reports, etc. in the academic sector originates
from the big Hollywood production machine. The perpetual
negotiations with the three big guilds (SAG, DGA and WGA), as
well as with the IATSE & Teamster crew unions has forced the
producing studios to be extremely confidential.

That era of total confidentiality isn’t over, nevertheless there
is a huge demand to know more about film financing, film
budgeting, etc. The new crop of Independent Film & Video makers
want to make their own projects, find their own financing and do
their own film budgeting and reporting of production costs. It
is even increasingly possible for producers to distribute their
own projects over the internet.

Believe me, the film school graduate who has a thorough
understanding of their Film Studies program, AND understands the
basic processes of Film Budgeting, Cost Reporting and Business
Plans, is light-years ahead of the pack. A film studies graduate
who can help prepare a financing package (that is, help to
prepare a Film Budget and a simple Business Plan) would
absolutely blow away any Independent Film & Video Production
company. Can you imagine an Independent Producer who wouldn’t
LOVE to have help with preparing and presenting a financing
package?

I used to assume that the film students had a lack of interest
in Film Budgeting and Costs (of any kind). Not anymore. I
recently did a survey of film students at a respected film
school. Here are the results of the survey:

Over 80% of the students said they felt it was important to know
more about budgeting and how it affected their careers as
filmmakers.

Film & Video production is one of the biggest industries in THE
WORLD (next to weapon manufacturing, of course). The wide spread
use of digital medium has created a new opportunity. That
opportunity, although less expensive than the Hollywood style
film productions we’ve grown used to, is still costly and
requires financing. How do you get that financing? Where do you
start?

Answer: You start with the basics of Film Budgeting, Cost
Reporting and very simple Business Plans. If you can calculate a
focal point, or learn how to operate a video camera, a Film
Budget is a piece of cake.

Based on my experience over the past 20 years in the film
industry, I can confidently say:

1. Graduates from Film Study programs who know the basics of
film & video production money (Budgeting, Cost Reporting and
Business Plans) will find they can take on more responsibility
in their film & video projects, and

2. as a result will have more successful careers than their
peers who haven’t learned to prepare Film Budgets, who don’t
understand any production’s Cost Report and who never saw a
simple Business Plan.

So how does a film student get familiar with Budgets, Cost
Reports and a simple Business Plan? I’ve been a Production
Auditor for 20 years and I’ve NEVER shown a crewmember a Final
Budget or a Weekly Cost Report (the universally standard
financial report card issued to the Financiers and Producers
every week) in that entire time. They are considered sacrosanct
by Studio Executives, Producers and Financiers everywhere.

Well, I’m about to tease you with some relevant articles that
will open the door enough to let you walk through. They’re
written for the complete novice, so be patient if you’ve already
been exposed to budgets and cost reports.

Tips For Receiving On-Line Accredited Degrees

Filed under: Education Portal — admin @ 7:39 pm

While a great many individuals dream of getting a degree, it is sometimes seemingly impossible to interrupt your career and or family life to go back to school. Many of us, of course, have jobs and find that the traditional schedules offered by community colleges and universities often make it impossible for us to juggle our schedules to attend. Or perhaps we have family members, kids more than likely, that we simply must dedicate our time to. These are the very things that are making online college courses ever so more attractive. And don’t think for a second that the colleges and universities across the country aren’t recognizing this and responding in kind.

A great alternative for the person who desires to attend college classes is to go the route of an online accredited degree. This is a degree from a college or university with accreditation, which means it meets the state’s guidelines and is deemed to be every bit as credible as a brick-and-mortar earned degree.

The programs offered in the form of online degrees very greatly. It is advised that anyone pursuing this avenue of higher learning do their homework and learn as much as they possibly can before making their decision as to which classes to pursue. There is ample information to be had, so by all means request as much as you feel is necessary to obtain the information that you’re after. We must remember that there are so many degrees offered through the online accreditation process that your choices are becoming ever more diversified. Degree levels include Associates, Bachelors, Masters and Doctorates.

The advantages to getting an online degree are virtually endless. You do not have to commute and there is no need to schedule classes and reshuffle your life around someone else’s schedule. The only thing you really have to do is be on yourself to stay disciplined to get your work done.

I will again repeat what I said earlier because of its great importance. It is absolutely paramount that you make sure that the degree that you are pursuing and the classes that you are taking are indeed accredited. There’s nothing worse than wasting your time and money taking classes that you will not get credit for, unless of course you are doing it for your own edification.

If you were ever considering getting a degree to improve your chances of landing a job, or getting paid more, or even to perhaps change careers completely, now is the time to do it. The future is promised to no one and now with the advantages of online accredited degrees, there really is no excuse for not pursuing these wonderful opportunities. Most of these online classes are delivered by way of computer. Don’t be intimidated by this if you are not computer savvy. A simple computer and Internet connection will be more than enough to get you through. So now you know. No excuses, get out there and get it done.
