-Liam Lacey, THE GLOBE AND MAIL

“A gloriously cinematic doc”
-John Anderson, VARIETY

These words are about the Canadian Documentary ‘Up the Yangtze’ which opens its theatrical run in Canada on February 8th, 2008. The documentary already had chosen as the best Canadian Documentary at the Vancouver Film Festival and its named one of Canada’s Top Ten Films. The film is about the worldn’t largest Dam built across the Yangtze river in China.

In my society its very noticeable how people are behind money. I couldn’t find an answer for the ‘why?’ in my mind. I think that may be the reason for the economic success of these countries.

Later I realized that there are more opportunities to make money too. Internet makes it even easier to build wealth.

I came across this Designer Clothing Wholesale website called Merchandize Liquidators . They sell name brand clothes and apparels in wholesale price. Their inventory has most of the famous brand names.

Rocawear Pants

Brands included Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Rocawear, Apple Bottoms, EckoRed, Charter Club, Polo, Simply, Union bay, American Rag, Yank, Perfection Jeans, C.K, XOXO, Fubu, LIZ CLAIBORNE/LUCKY BRAND DUNGARE, VINCE INC,LIZ CLAIBORNE/LAUNDRY DIV,LA LAB INC/CHIP & PEPPER, DEVANLAY US INC/LA COSTE, SEVEN FOR ALL MANKIND LLC, GUESS INC, WARNACO GROUP-CALVIN KLEIN JEANS.

OK,How it is related to making money?. I see a great opportunity here. For those who have an idea to open an Ebay store targeting a niche market, Merchandize Liquidators can be a good supplier. I don’t have much experience with ebay, but what ever we do on web we are dealing with a huge market with easy access. Whether it be selling or earn money by advertising for your free content.

“You make money when you buy not when you sell.” I found this quote when I did some research on Ebay niche marketing. You can get a pretty good idea about selling on ebay by reading this article here. I think Merchandize Liquidators will be a good choice in the clothing and apparel niche to “make money when you buy”. They have one page devoted to make money on ebay too.

Sail across a stormy sea
If thats what it takes me baby
To show you how much you mean to me
And I guess its just the woman in you
That brings out the man in me
I know I cant help myself
Youre all in the world to me

If you find that too much technical, RSS is a format where regularly updating contents or news in a website can be syndicated through,by using a RSS reader or feed reader you can read the new content in the website without visiting the website.For example let’s say you regularly visit five different websites for read news,now if those websites have feed you can subscribe to those feeds through one of the readers.Now you don’t need to go to those five websites every week.Login to your reader…. there you go all of the new contents will be updated there.It’s convenient to follow the news of your favorite websites.

There are many RSS readers.Some popular ones:Google reader, Newsgator,Bloglines

I think it’s a good tool to a language learner who has the need of grab much knowledge in a short period of time.Find useful websites which can help you in your learning process and subscribe to them.I will write about useful websites here time to time.Book mark them or Subscribe to them to keep in touch with them.
