Last year a medical college in Tamil Nadu had raised the cost of application forms of entrance exams to RS 25 thousand and the students who qualify had to again buy another form for 5 thousand Indian Rupees. Now you can guess the fee of this medical college could not be cheaper, of course it was not. The tuition fee of this college was 7.5 lakh annually. Some of the parents have also admitted that few other medical colleges have demanded even more and some of the college officials have even asked for capitation fee ranging from Rs. 27 lakh to Rs. 45 lakh. Medical study is probably one of the most expensive studies in India. Parents understand the money and the reputation a doctor gets and therefore do not mind paying a huge amount for it. It is also a truth that a doctor makes a good amount of money in India and in foreign countries they are in great demand. But for the students from not so well to do families, it is really a struggle to get the medical degree. Most of these students get these degrees through education loans. You can buy latest news images to know more about the medical colleges and their fee structure in India.

In India, doctor is considered as a form of God. You cannot get the certification of being God so easily. First you have to spend good amount of money to purchase application forms, then you have to struggle a lot to get seat in good medical colleges. Then comes the time to study hard and pay even bigger amount in the form of annual tuition fee. In dental colleges you have to buy many study based material like instruments, fillings etc as well apart from the books which again requires huge amount of money. Five years later when you get your MBBS or BAMS or BDMS certificates, your new kind of struggle starts. Where to go next? MBAs and Engineering students often got jobs through campus selection but it is not same for medical students. There are some medical colleges in India like AIIMS, CMC Vellore, AFMC Pune, JIPMER Puducherry, Maulana Azad Medical College Delhi, MMC Chennai, Seth GS Medical College Mumbai, Kasturba College Manipal etc where students need not think much of their future. These colleges are some of the top medical colleges in India. Getting admission in these colleges is guarantee enough of a golden future but for remaining yet more struggle follows. You can buy exclusive images of these top colleges in India to know more.

With few exceptions students do not get placements through campus recruitment in medical colleges. They first have to get internships. Some of them go for MS which makes them specialized in specific field of medicine, of course again lots of money gets involved here as well. After MS and internship they can apply for job in some hospital to serve us. Most of the doctors open their own clinics, no need to say here again they have to flow a big amount of money. But in the end everything goes well when the doctor starts earning money. It is very much true that the reputation and the money a doctor can earn are almost impossible in any other profession.

Ever feel like your head is splitting open? Headaches can be very debilitating. Many times a new patient will say to me, “Oh, that’s my normal headache.” Headaches may be common for many people, but they are never normal. Pain is your body’s signal that something is injured or not functioning properly.

There are many different forms and causes of headaches, including but not limited to:

• Dehydration
• Muscle Tension
• Low blood sugar
• Neck Problems
• Stress
• Not enough sleep
• Trauma
• Caffeine, or caffeine withdrawal
• Hormonal Imbalance

As you can see there are many different factors to consider. One thing that all headache sufferers have in common is that they have a spine and nervous system.

When the upper neck bones are shifted and/or not moving properly the joints, nerves, and muscles in that area become irritated and painful causing headaches and neck pain. What many people find interesting is that your pain may be felt one place but is being caused by a problem somewhere else.

This is called a referred pain. Most people are familiar with this concept of referred pain as it relates to heart attacks but there are also pain referral patterns with many neuromusculoskeletal conditions.

There are over 30 different muscles, nerves, and joints in the upper neck area that can cause pain anywhere from the upper back and shoulders to the front of the forehead and around the eyes. Head to the website listed below to see a picture of these pain referral patterns.

In addition, many headache and neck pain sufferers have a loss of the normal curve in the neck (known as cervical hypolordosis). You see it every day as people look at their cell phones with their heads kinked down or hunched over work stations. It is important that correction of this problem goes deeper than merely correcting posture. Don’t get me wrong good posture is very important; however, someone can have great posture when observed externally and still have these structural curve changes. It’s just like how a car can look perfectly fine from the outside but then you find out that the frame is bent.

Many times we will see a new patient who has tried some treatments in the past that work for a short time but then the pain always comes back at some point. In most instances of reoccurring headaches and neck pain it is the curve correction part of the treatment that was lacking in order to achieve a lasting full improvement. Most people with these problems get muscle tension and pain at the base of the skull and across the top of the shoulders. An understanding of the anatomy reveals that these muscles are being stretched as a result of the curve changes and they become painful as they react to these changes. Correcting the curve problem and poor spinal biomechanics takes the stress off certain parts of the head and spine and prevents the muscles from continually trying to pull the head back. There are specific chiropractic adjustments and protocols that must be done to make this curve correction.

A thorough examination and assessment of your headaches and neck pain will reveal what specifically is causing the problem in your case.

As with most topics there is much more that could be considered and discussed. I just wanted to shed some light on an ongoing problem in many people’s lives. This is a problem that many people are suffering needlessly with when they could be helped.

Stay tuned for future posts where I will reveal some helpful tips that will help correct back pain, neck pain, and headaches, even while you have to sit all day. Become one of the millions that benefit from chiropractic adjustments each year!

Black man designation, what does it means to be your self? Sounds like an easy thing to do, but in reality it’s a lot harder than it sound. It’s a continuous struggle, to be yourselves. Being one self is the reason I admire the “Pride” community. That’s an unimaginable hill of acceptance to climb socially and personally. To join “Pride” you have to overcome a superego, which is what everybody you know and care about thinks. The struggle is not coming to term with your sexuality, but overcoming the beliefs of love ones.

In reading Michele Wallace’s: “Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman.” The notion of being your self is revealed in this fascinating book. I have to admit I did not know who Michele Wallace was. I knew who Faith Ringgold is, the brilliant Afro-American visual artist. I first saw her superb work: Flag for the Moon: “Die Ni… r ” in a slide lecture at the Maryland Institute College of Art siting in Dr. Leslie King Hammond’s cool class: Africans In the New World. I love that class. It was a revelation seeing myself reflected in art, a subject that I’m innately passionate about. It’s something the larger culture would not understand, I’m guessing. White folks are reflective in art… objectively speaking they’re the art, as we know it. Also artist Faith Ringgold is Michele Wallace’s mother as well of the dedication of this brilliant book.

And the book is dazzling and straightforward in so many ways, a true piece of art. Michelle Wallace explains what is was like to live at that time of the Civil Rights Movement, of black revolution, feminism black and white, and of becoming a young middleclass black woman, with the gnawing guilt of not taking the punishment that poor black where taking in her stead, of falling for the simplemindedness of ghetto life, of avoiding the purgatory of being middle class or not black enough.

Of growing up around black men – not an easy thing, for a group with out an establish culture. But rather a group that is looking to identify with a culture or reinvent a culture based on its differences with the dominant European culture. So everything had to be African or what ever that means. And with Africa, women’s roles are not chief, they’re likely but not necessarily subordinate to their men. Not much different from European culture but perhaps a few centuries behind. After all it was Europeans who first revolted against their kings to establishing a republic moving equality a little bit forward.

However, chilling and accurately Michele explains how she fell for the popular definition of ghetto life: “it was erotic, wild, free, intense, and liberating in its poverty and in the violence of its extremes.” And having myself worshiped at the temple of the king of punk funk Rick James, dancehall reggae and rap music I concur, ironically finding one self in a group.

Michele Wallace shed light on American stalwarts like Norman Mailer’s “The White Negro” and his assertion of the black man as a sexual outlaw its influence on the culture at the time, even now. Rap videos are the personification of the “black buck” every rapper wants to be the Black Macho with their video homage to Al Pacino’s 1985 “Scarface” that little paradigm to manhood. And as Michele points out, Euro-Americans “by controlling the black man’s notion of what a black man was suppose to be, it would successfully control the very goal of his struggle for “freedom.”

And by far it was the brutal buck who was the threat to the white man’s family his legacy and of course his wealth. Toni Morison makes lots of sense when she states: “Racism was always a cone game… ” however, Toni Morrison for as brilliant as she is, is ignored, because as Michele observes for black folks the pursuit of manhood is what stirred the collective imagination then and now, “in fact, that the black man risked everything – all the traditional goals of revolution: money, security, the overthrow of the government- in pursuit of an immediate sense of his own power.” – wow! What an amazing observation. Its no wonder we never heard of Michele Wallace.

Michele, to drive her perspective invokes the great James Baldwin who in his essay “Many Thousands Gone,” Notes of natives Son by Richard Wright: “recording his days of anger he has also nevertheless recorded, as no Negro before him had ever done, that fantasy Americans hold in their minds when they speak of the Negro: That fantastic and fearful image which we have lived with since the first slave fell beneath the lash… that admits the possibility of his being subhuman… “

James Baldwin too was a great observer and unquestionable artist. But questioned he was by the transformed father of black poetry Amiri Baraka who transformed Mailer’s sexual outlaw into the role model for the black revolution: the black man as a sexual outlaw by raping white vagina (Baraka was not PC), not groveling for it, Baldwin was questioned also by professional rapist Eldridge Cleaver, real black man (that was sarcasm). Henry Louis Gates, Jr. in his essay From the Stacks: “The Fire Last Time” in New Republic makes the statement about how Amiri and Clever felt about James Baldwin. “Baldwin was thus engaged in “a despicable underground guerrilla war, waged on paper, against black masculinity.” Young militants referred to Baldwin, unsmilingly, as Martin Luther Queen. James Baldwin did not fit the definition of black man’s 1960’s masculinity then and now but to be fair not many can, although they are many whom succeeded. And many more who benefited from the intoxicating swag it produces.

And if you define yourself as a black man, you will have to confront yourself by what historically has been the oppressor’s fear, the legendary mythological black penis, which will rape and take their white women their property and wealth. It’s a bit of a conundrum, one that finds black men as collaborator with their historical oppressors.

Metaphorically speaking

his black d… k is so big

when it stands up erect

it silences

the sound of his voice.

it obscures his view

of the territory, his history,

the cosmology of his identity

is rendered invisible.

When his big black d… k

is not erect

it drags behind him,

a heavy, obtuse thing,

his balls and chains

clattering, making

so much noise

I cannot hear him

even if I want to listen.

essex hemphill, black machismo.

Michel Wallace in pinpointing the differences that these men shared makes a great point in representing their similarities, that of the exclusion of black women. The black men like all men when they fail move on to the next chapter. For most of those failed revolutionaries of the 60’s it was another conundrum, socialism that proved to be the next political grab for power.

And power is the objective, power for the black man. Recounting and experience at the Harlem Schomburg Collection where a black male librarian confronted Susan Brownmiller when she was doing her book Against Our Will… She asked to see information about black women and rape. He said… “Then you need to ask about the lynching of black men.”… ‘I’m sorry, young lady. If you are serious about your subject you need to start with the historic injustice to black men. That must be your approach.” Michelle Wallace notes that in the obsession of the black man there is no room for black women.

And that white Feminist like Gerda Lener’s make a mockery when she say that black women have a higher status in their community compared with white women for Michele’s reality begs to differ.

And it is here where I think Michele Wallace makes an even greater contribution. She tells the awful truth. “Any black woman who’s got any sense treads lightly in Harlem.”… Black women, if she’s elegant or highbrow or intellectual, she’s pronounced funny looking, uptight and in need of a good brutal f..k. Why this hostility? Because the black women historical role as the matriarch was seen then as the emasculator of the black man, it was the black women who were use by the oppressor against the black man. Today that ideology has not changed as rap music continues to celebrate derogatory names for women as the go to antagonist.

It was the black slave superwoman who defines manhood. Fannie who ratter smash her babies brains out on a rock, ratter that letting her live as a slave. (Ophelia S. Egypt, J. Masouka, and Charles Johnson, “Unwritten History of Slavery: Autobiographical Accounts of Ex-Slaves,” Black Women In White America, ed. Gerda Lerner) Sethe from Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved refused to raise her child into slavery but rather cut her throat and kill her first. It’s this super woman who was forge in the crucible of America’s slavery.

Slavery was not germane to America; it was around long before the discovery of America. But America did forge a political kind of slavery where indenture slaves had to establish a beneficial demarcation. Institute by the minority of slave owning white men for their protection. These white men wanted a queen to showoff their wealth, thus the hard working white women was transformed into a helpless delicate forbidden flower one that was the complete contrast to the black women who had to works as hard as the men and supply the babies for the work force.

Under these circumstances an for her survival, the black women had to find allies, even if it was in the bed of a white man, for which many black men has never forgiven her. And her mental power and strength only served to reminded black men of their lack of power. The black women found ways of reinventing herself to move ahead adopting and imitating standards of white women. But hard as she tried the black women entered the Black Liberation Movement of the 60’s as an unwanted participant unless of course if she look white.

In 1969 Michele Wallace writes of the surprise many black women had, that black men where coming to their defense. Nonetheless the black women had to know her place; misogyny was an integral part of the Black Macho, a slave morality its philosophy of victimhood declared the black man were more oppressed than the black woman that the black man with is sexual superiority, because the black man did agree with Mailer’s assertions of sexual outlaw, was entitle. However heading into this revolution the black woman believe that it was her time to be rescued. That finally someone will do the fighting for her. She was not aware of the contradictions of the time that her designated responsibility for the revolution was to have babies.

It wasn’t a revolution for black people after all, but a grab for power for the black man. Justified by and entitle with the injustice against black people. It’s what humans do; now the victims, the black men are exploiting the people who help their revolution. The women.

But not all women took that laying down. Many were ambitious and understood how the game is played. Enter Angela Davis and Nicki Giovanni, Like Huey Newton Angela Davis and Nikki Giovanni are every bit the revolutionaries. And will use any and everybody to achieve their goals like the men who fornicated their way true the black revolution. Remember defining manhood is the goal. Admittedly like a great performer they had to become what their audience expected them to be strong black leaders. And Angela Davis and Nikki Giovanni are just that to this day.

For me Michele Wallace made a revelation in telling Angela’s story regarding her relationship with George Jackson Soledad Brother, “a man who had made it eminently clear that he consider black women enslaving.” Michel quotes. I got to be hones here. I never understood the infatuation of intellectual young black women with incarcerated inmates, the jailed brudders. All the sistas love them; people wonder why boy’s copy pants-down prison look. Well Michelle gave me a genesis, Angela Davis. Why did she fall in love with this man? Granted the ideology, but what the hey. Every black person was a socialist at the time. She could easily find a black man who shared her ideology that was not incarcerated.

But then I return to The Pride movement, Angela Davis did not have Pride, 60’s black power did not include Pride although Audre Lorde was around. But Just look at the treatment James Baldwin and Bayard Rustin got. What’s closet gay a girl to do? Fake it. And fake it Angela Davis did. Just like all closeted homosexuals you go to extremes to hide your individuality. By doing so Angela Davis to this day has set the standard for black women, thank goodness not all of them. But Michele Wallace is right! Angela Davis, for all her achievements, she was seen as the epitome of the selfless. Sacrificing “good Woman”- the only kind of black woman the Movement would accept. She did it for her man, they said. A woman in a woman’s place, the so-called political issues were irrelevant.” A slave morality! So much sow that some women in jail take pride and solace, because they did it for their man.

Ad to the list of gay women fitting, while staying in the closet is Nikki Giovanni. I got to admit, I love her work, she definitely has talent so des Amiri Baraka and Eldridge Cleaver though. But ideology is different. And Michel Wallace points out the damage her ideology cost at the time for her support for the movement, by asking the women to have babies so they could have “something to Love,” a self reflecting stamen for sure. By the time she advice them to wait until you can afford a baby, Michele said it was to late for a lot of women were on welfare. Can’t blame Nikki Giovanni for that, it was all part of the atmosphere of the time if you wanted to fit in, to be black.

Michele Wallace’s book is insightful I’m glad I read it. Her perspective was one I did not see. Then and now the lives of the black women are ignored as long as the black man is still a victim, systematically under attack by the pedagogy of white supremacy. We will not hear her voice unless under the subtext of the struggle of the black man. I drank the Kool-Aid like many people who wanted to believe that there is a just and social order that will take care of me, I mean this is the lie, fight for the black man is a fight for you, but the reality is a grab for power by a small minority, however in the land of opportunity it’s up to you to get up and get it. Michele Wallace and Faith Ringgold did just that.

Did you know men want respect more than love? That they are more insecure than most women think they are? And they struggle with their emotions on a scale which is not understood by many women?

Men can be very complex to understand when you look at it from a female perspective. But the fact of the matter is that there are many interesting things about men most women aren’t even aware of. Read the following tips and discover all the things you didn’t know about men so far…

• A man can have sex with you without being attracted to you emotionally…

Isn’t it quite the opposite when it comes to the case of females? Did you know that a man can be extremely physically attracted to you on one end and not really like you at all emotionally or the other end?

This is basically the main reason why a man will not hesitate to have sex with you even if he does not plan on having a long term relationship with you. And this very fact confuses a lot of women.

As for most women this is actually the opposite, they can’t imagine having sex with a guy unless they like him at one level or another.

• A man will always struggle to understand what you’re feeling unless you show a strong emotion & convey the message to him in clear terms…

One of the most common complaints women have against men is that they are never good listeners and always struggle to understand what’s going on in the female mind.

But the fact of the matter is that most men will have absolutely no clue what is going on in your head unless you make it absolutely obvious to him by showing some kind of a strong emotion to him.

• Men don’t like to be pushed into doing things they need to know that they are in control…

Do you know that if you try to make a man do something you want him to do you will always fail at it? In fact, the only way to make him do what you wanted to is to make him feel like you are not trying to force him into anything.

Men don’t like to be told what to do ever. In fact, they always want to feel as if they are in control of their actions and don’t want to be pushed around.

• The less you care the more he will start to care…

It’s funny how this concept is so true. The less you care about him, and the less you care about keeping him around the more he will start to care about you. When he knows that you don’t really need him, he will subconsciously start needing you.

Wading through the pile of horse racing handicapping factors and the information available for each race is a monumental task. That being said, you really need to refine the information you use to form an opinion. It’s not enough to see that the trainer has a 20% win average. You have to ask yourself, where did those wins come from? If the trainer has a 20% win average overall, but a 25% win average with horses entered in dirt sprints, it means little to you if the race you’re handicapping is a turf route.

When researching the trainer of the horse look at the number of races that trainer has entered and see if the conditioner has a preference. There are some trainers who are well known for their prowess as a grass trainer but who struggle with horses racing on dirt. The same is true when it comes to the age of the horse. Some are very good at preparing young horses and bringing youngsters to the races ready to run, but those same trainers struggle to win with older horses.

While it matters whether there seems to be a pattern you must also consider how many opportunities the conditioner has with each kind of race. If the venues where the trainer keeps horses have a lot of grass races then he may seek horses that race well on turf and owners who have such horses. If the trainer races in the North during the colder months it’s obvious that there won’t be many opportunities to race on the grass.

Fillies are perhaps the most difficult race horses to manage because their mental and emotional state is changeable. They easily become discouraged in a race and will sometimes go from running well in one race to sulking in the next. That’s the reason some trainers are better than others with young female horses.

It takes a special trainer to keep a peaceful and settled atmosphere in the barn and during training in order to instill calmness and a sense of purpose in young female horses. Check the stats on wins with two year olds and three year olds and also ascertain how well the trainer does with fillies and mares. When you handicap take nothing for granted and don’t accept trainer or jockey stats unless they relate specifically to the gender and age of the horses in the race as well as the distance and surface of the race.

Women constitute a larger chunk in our society. However the history of struggle of women to stand on equal footings among their male counterparts is not very scintillating. From the suffrage movement of 1980s till today the struggle is continued in one or the other way. The developed countries have alleviated their status in a better way whereas the developing countries are still struggling. The incorporation of gender equality in its sustainable development goals by United Nations reflects the need to uplift the situation of women all around the globe. The commitment showed by the developing countries towards achieving this goal is commendable. However the subjects for which the strategies are being devised, laws are being enacted and actions are being taken, must also realize the importance of their voice and their inclusion in the system at par with their male counterparts.

The first step for women empowerment and for women to make their voice heard is to participate in the politics. The importance of being an active participant in the political process is realized from the fact that only after being elected and after becoming a part of the legislative body, they will be in a position to make their voice heard and shall be able to communicate the grievances and problems faced by women at large. Finally to shape the laws which benefit women as well.

Five reasons that hinder women to participate in politics:

1. Cultural Barriers: In most of the developing countries, the role of women is to be a mother, sister and daughter. She supposed to look after the house. They are not allowed to choose whatever profession they want in the first instance even if they are allowed; the choice is limited for women.

2. Lack of education: Firstly the level of education in these countries is not up to the mark. The women who are educated prefer to remain safe by joining professions like teaching etc. Secondly the majority of women do not hold the required knowledge about the processes and women are also not given access to the experience of contributing in the important policy making issues due to this reason. This further deteriorates their situation.

3. Institutional Barriers: they include the processes and procedures which make it difficult for women to survive in the working scenario. To adjust so that they may become acceptable in a particular environment in an organization, women need to transform their feminist behavior into certain masculine flows which isolate them in the society or in the other scenario creates huge pressure on them to maintain work and life balance.

4. Patriarchal system: Patriarchal system pervades in every field in the developing countries. Women are not allowed by the male members of their family in the first instance to select this field. If they do select, they have to face the patriarchal culture in their working environment as well which undermines their skills and snubs their voice.

5. Economic dependency: this is also a major reason, as most of the women in the developing countries maintain domestic chores; they are highly dependent on their male members. This economic dependence not only shatters their level of confidence at one hand but also discourage them from exhibiting such intentions or desires.

These are the more or less universal reasons which create hindrance in the way of women to participate in politics. To achieve the goal of gender equality and increased participation of women in politics firstly the authorities need to understand the root causes which are responsible in a particular contextual setting. Only then the corrective actions and measure shall work.

The affiliate marketing secrets I’m sharing here aren’t really “secrets” to some affiliates. But for me, when I started affiliate marketing back in the early 2000’s, they would have been useful to know about. It would have saved me several years of hard work if I would have known about these factors in an affiliate business.

I spent a huge amount of time trying out bad strategies and promoting low paying products. It was immensely frustrating not only to struggle getting results as an affiliate, but when they did eventually come to see such tiny little commissions that it was hardly worth all that struggle!

The fist insight I’m going to share is to get an email autoresponder. An auto-responder is a software which allows affiliates to collect emails from a website and automate the delivery of email messages to your list.

For a long time I didn’t have an auto-responder. I simply tried to get people to my websites and sell affiliate products directly from there. But there’s a problem in that customers will often need several contact points before they purchase something. So a single landing on a website will seldom generate a sale. On a website, a visitor only has a small window of opportunity to make a buying decision. But once you get your visitors email information, you can extend this time period by months, years and even decades!

You can give them many more “touch points” with which to showcase your offerings, give value and help your subscribers with whatever issue they are facing.

The next issue I faced was choosing the affiliate products which I would sell. The products I chose as an affiliate were those which I would have bought myself. This is a good policy because you can more easily create content around something you’re interested in. But I choose low value products and used affiliate programs which paid the least! I didn’t know this was an issue till much later when I discovered subscription affiliate programs which paid ongoing commissions for each sale.

With a low value product from eBay or Amazon, for example, you only get tiny amounts – usually less than 10% commission. Digital products pay more like 30%-50% commission. Then there’s high ticket products which have a much larger value. A high ticket product sale can earn you the same as by selling hundreds of the lower value item.

With a product range you can benefit from subscription products, one off commissions and high ticket sales. In addition to this you can also benefit from a built in sales team, who close sales on your behalf. With most affiliate products, you refer a sale and only get paid once. So you need to continue selling more and more products. With subscription and high ticket, you can continue earning from your referrals, potentially for years. So the same work is rewarded much more with such a strategy.

Another huge benefit of using such a product range is that paid marketing strategies are much more within reach. I struggled with free marketing tactics, making sporadic sales which amounted to very little income. With a high ticket product range, it’s much easier to make a profit while running paid marketing.

Plus, once you’re profitable, and are running paid advertising campaigns, you can scale up quickly. Simply increase marketing budget! With organic and cheaper marketing strategies, this is much more difficult. I was struggling for years because I was selling low value products and using free marketing strategies which couldn’t be scaled up!

Another affiliate marketing secret which I didn’t discover until a few years of struggle is to get help. Back in the early 2000’s it was far more difficult to build an online business from scratch. You needed more technical know-how. You needed to be able to build websites yourself. Today software takes much of the technical wizardry out of building online business. You can press a couple of buttons and have a ready made website up and running in minutes. You can also join a group of other affiliates which can help enormously with your mindset and personal growth.

Going it alone as an affiliate is tough, especially when well meaning family members and friends are trying to talk you out of it, and telling you that it’s a scam! Once in a community of online entrepreneurs, my confidence grew. I was able to ask questions and get things done more easily. Other people had similar questions to me, and joining groups where coaches and mentors were on hand shortened the learning curve.

Most of all joining a community of online business owners helped me believe that I could build an income from affiliate marketing. Before this I struggled with mindset issues and lack of confidence. If you doubt you’re going in the right direction, it’s much easier to quit, or dawdle. It’s easier to procrastinate and lose your direction.

To sum up, these are my affiliate marketing secrets:

1. Get an autoresponder – an email marketing service made a huge difference to my affiliate business

2. Use subscription products, high ticket products and a product range, rather than low value products which only offer single commissions

3. Get help – join an online community where you can build trust with a coach, find accountability partners and get questions answered.

Affiliate marketing is a tough business to crack and the drop out rate is around 95%. Remember the reason you’re doing it and find a good program and stick to it.

Computer microscopes are changing the way science is taught in the elementary and middle school classroom. Traditional methods involved setting up bulky equipment along with making flawless slides for getting a clear picture of the object to be studied. Students would many times struggle to locate the critical elements of the prepared slide. With the computer microscope it has become easier for the teacher to concentrate on content rather than setting up the equipment. Images can be projected on a large screen for the entire class to view.

Hand-held digital microscopes such as the SmartScope are one of the best science tools for use in the classroom. Firstly, it can be easily set up by simply connecting to a computer through the USB port. This simple feature has eliminated the need for the teacher to explain details of the instrument, as in the case of the light microscope. Secondly, the hand-held digital microscope has a flexible lens which is capable of achieving a range of magnifications.

Viewing prepared glass slides of common specimens of animals, insects, plants, amphibians and frogs, is as easy as setting the tip on the slide and adjusting the light level and focus dials. Many students struggle with making their own slides, for instance when the slides develop air bubbles. The computer microscope allows teachers to project a single slide for every student to see allowing them to discuss important features using only one slide. Students can even work individually, eliminating the need for constant attention of the teacher.

With the help of the computer microscope teachers can now encourage self study, as the instrument is easy to operate. Students can study in groups since the device can be connected to the computer using the USB port and images can be studied on the computer monitor. This method allows a more interactive learning experience, as students can discuss different ideas and new things with each other. Students can work in groups to import images and make PowerPoint presentations.

In addition to everyone being able to view the samples, many computer microscopes feature the ability to record video and time-lapse videos which can be used to study different stages of a particular process such as cell multiplication or a chemical reaction.

Computer microscope software often allows the students to take still images of the sample being studied. The advantage is that students can take the images over a period of time as well as at the exact time when a process takes place, thus providing them accurate picture of the process under observation.

Computer microscopes have not only improved the teaching standards, but also encouraged students to work together and learn as well as they share different ideas on the subject being studied. In most cases students found it difficult to learn and understand subjects such as biology, physics and chemistry. More often it is difficult for the teachers to create a picture that correlates theory with the actual environment. For instance, when intricate structure of rocks is being taught in the class, it may not be possible for the students to visualize its existence in the real world. However, technology has now made it possible for the students to relate concepts learned in the lectures with what actually exists.

Some guys will take quite a unique attitude when it comes to premature ejaculation. The attitude usually goes something like this:

Why should I last long during sex when my girlfriend doesn’t even care? I mean she never complains about it and I always stimulate her in other ways anyway. Plus she prefers oral sex over regular sex. I can give her oral sex, and then have regular sex and not have to worry about if I last long during sex. I think it’s better this way since I don’t have to struggle to last and can just ejaculate after a minute or so.

This is an interesting take in rationalizing premature ejaculation. It even sounds like it might make sense, right? I mean it appears as his partner is enjoying sex. It’s not like he is ignoring her needs, and matter of fact it seems like he is providing her with her desired pleasures. And of course he is getting off himself in a timely one or two minute fashion. Everything seems fine, right?

Wrong.

There are many things wrong with the above statement. Let’s go through why this is simply the lazy man’s excuse for living with premature ejaculation and not taking actions to find solutions.

1. First of all, his girlfriend likely isn’t complaining for the typical reasons. She may not want to bring up the issue due to embarrassment. Many women don’t want to “rock the boat” with this issue so they remain silent.
2. Many women have actually never experienced earth shattering orgasms (or true orgasms at all) through standard sex! This is very common and the reason why? You guessed it. The man’s inability to last long during sex. This may very likely be the case here. I guarantee if this woman could experience the kind of long lasting sex that results in earth shattering orgasms, she would in fact speak up and say, “look dude, you need to teach yourself to last long during sex pronto!”
3. You (the boyfriend) are actually having low level sex and you don’t even know it. Ejaculating after only a minute or two is not experiencing true sexual excitement. For many guys that’s actually considered a subpar orgasm. So this guy is only having mediocre sex at best. He says he “doesn’t have to struggle” to hold out long enough during sex but he has no clue that it’s “the struggle” (which doesn’t have to be a struggle) which makes your orgasm ten times stronger.

If someone was to take a step back and reflect on their life, what they may find is that it is often hard for them to receive what they need to survive, let alone thrive. So, when it comes to money, they may rarely have enough.

Keeping a roof over their head is then going to be a challenge and they might not always have enough to eat. Due to this, they are seldom going to have enough money to buy ‘luxury’ items.

One Big Struggle

They might not have been on holiday for years and they might not even think about going away either. But, if they are struggling to make ends meet, they won’t have much energy left to think about such things.

Now, this is not to say that they won’t have a job and will be living on handouts. No, they could have one or a number of jobs, but, no matter how many they have, they won’t earn enough money.

Another Area

Along with this, they may find that there are not many people in their life and those that are in their life are not very supportive. Thanks to this, they could believe that they have to do just about everything by themselves.

When it comes to their romantic relationships, this might not be any better as they might not have ever been in a relationship. Or, if they have, they may have been with at least one person who wasn’t able to truly be there for them.

Running On Empty

If they were a plant, they would only receive a few drops of water every now and then. As a result of this, they won’t receive what they need to grow and expand but they will receive just enough to make sure that they don’t die.

Therefore, it will be normal for them to be in a deprived state, and to see life as being one big challenge. They won’t need to look for challenges to overcome, simply getting through each day will be a challenge.

Putting In the Work

If they typically work hard and do what they can to try to change their circumstances, it could be said that they will be doing the right thing. This will mean that they won’t just be sitting around, waiting for their life to change.

Still, it could be even harder for them to handle what is going on as they will exert so much effort, whilst receiving very little in return. If they have the tendency to feel like a victim, it won’t be much of a surprise.

A Saviour

At times, they may imagine what it would be like for someone to come and save them from what is going on. With this being a time when they would finally receive what they needed to be able to thrive.

At other moments, they could wonder why other people are able to receive what they need and are not struggling like them. It could seem as though these people have something that they themselves don’t have or are special in some way.

No Control

They could believe that the only way that their life will change is if what is going on ‘out there’ changes. Unless this happens, they will just have to put up with what is going on and continue to suffer.

However, although it may seem as though what is going on externally is the issue, what if this is not the case? What if what is taking place inside then is what is stopping them from receiving what they truly need?

A Deeper Look

There is the chance that, deep down, they don’t feel safe enough to receive and, thus, have the need to keep the world at bay. The trouble is that as they are not aware of this, it is as if someone or something ‘out there’ is depriving and/or even punishing them.

At this point, they could struggle to understand why they would be this way, especially as it is not serving them. To understand why this is, it will be necessary for them to take a closer look into what took place during their formative years.

Way Back

This may have been a time when they missed out on the care that they needed to be able to grow and develop. So, when they were not neglected, their caregiver might not have attuned to their needs.

By not receiving the attuned care that they needed, they wouldn’t have been able to bond with their primary caregiver. When their caregiver was there, though being out of tune with them, they would have traumatised them.

A Threat

Human contact, something that they needed, and life in general, would have ended up being associated as a threat to their very survival. The way for them to handle this pain would have been for them to shut down and disconnect from themselves.

As they were totally powerless and dependent, they had no other way of responding. Back then, being in a disconnected state and keeping life at bay would have stopped them from being traumatised, along with depriving them of the nutrients that they needed, and now, it will cause them to suffer unnecessarily.

Awareness

This brutal stage of their life will be over but a big part of their being won’t have moved on from what happened. This is why they will still have the need to keep life at a distance and why they will rarely, if ever, be able to receive what they need.

If someone can relate to this and they are ready to change their life, they may need to reach out for external support. This is something that can be provided with the assistance of a therapist or healer.
