Posted on 20 January 2011. Tags: army, bottom line, British, british army, eng maths, Gcse, Good, joining the british army, limit, line, niche, real desire, satisfaction, starting salary, subsidised
I am 29 years old and despite being employed and very much employable, I have never quite found my niche, never quite found satisfaction in any of the bottom line obsessed jobs i’ve had since leaving school.
I very nearly joined the army at 16 but didnt quite follow through, ive always really really fancied it but despite knowing the age limit is 34 i felt like maybe i was too old. I have no problems being told what to do, I am fit, or at least “always playing football and 2 circuit training classed a week” fit not “army fit” and liek i say i have a real desire for something out of teh ordinary.
I have a few gcse’s in eng, maths, I.T. etc so would appreciate any advice of what to join if indeed you would reccommend i did. I read good things about the subsidised living side of the army and see that a starting salary of 17.500 which is only slightly less than i get now…..
any advice or tips greatly appreciated.

In a new video report available below, Liberty News Network national correspondent and border-issues expert Andy Ramirez offers explosive details about the recent murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry by border bandits.
Among the revelations discussed by Ramirez is the news that border agents were forced to first use non-lethal weapons against the heavily armed criminals. Citing sources, Ramirez said the orders must have originated with disgraced former Tucson-area Border Patrol boss Victor Manjarrez and his superiors.
“Why would you send them out with non-lethal loads? … Why did we have to lose another agent in the line of duty?” Ramirez wondered.
He also attacked government arrest figures and the notion that the DREAM Act, a bill to allow the children of illegal immigrants to stay in the United States, would help tighten border security. “It’s a lie,” Ramirez said. “And sadly, we have lost another agent in the line of duty as a result of these continued lies.”
Another topic mentioned in the video report is the issuance of cards to Border Patrol agents with instructions “to hide,” as Ramirez put it, in the event of an encounter with Mexican military personnel on the U.S. side of the border. “And by the way, one of the allegations in this case — in the murder of agent Terry — is that there were Mexican military personnel among the [attacking] individuals,” Ramirez said. Anonymous sources inside the Border Patrol also told Ramirez “the word” is that Agent Terry was in pretty bad shape due to his gunshot wounds. However, reports he cited indicated that the alien got the first med-evac out while Agent Terry was moved by vehicle initially to a second location where he was then med-evac’d out, too.
Additionally, those same sources report that top Border Patrol management in Tucson Sector, as well as in Washington, D.C., at headquarters, have issued a gag order on all agents. Ramirez also reported that his sources claim agents will be fired if they are caught talking about the facts surrounding Terry’s murder. He says this is a common tactic that has gone on at the Border Patrol under David Aguilar for years, as well as at Customs.
Agents, retired and active duty alike, are very angry about the events surrounding agent Terry’s murder and the alleged cover up. Ramirez said they are providing information to ensure the truth does get out to the American people.

Does a clock’s second hand try to move non-stop around the clock, but it’s somehow stalled so it takes one second to get past each niche?
Or does it stop at each niche, and move to the next one after stopping at each niche for one second?
The question for the first one is what stalls the second hand over each line?
The problem with the second one is that it takes time to move from one point to another, and the second hand couldn’t just travel instantaneously to the next line. For it to work, some parts of the time the second the hand stopped at the niche would have to be equally divided on either side of the second, to give the second hand time to get to the next line. Is that what happens?
Or does it incorporate both, and take half a second to get to the next line, and half a second to pause on each line?
And in all of those, when and/or where does one second stop and the next begin? And what makes the second hand hesitate, wherever it hesitates?

During my days as a teen a became engulfed in the underground culture. I adopted a more radical stance on the issue. In my mind, the underground was the last line of defense against the tentacles of the corporate world…and anyone who was affiliated with them (mtv,bet, snoop, jay z) was considered a yoyo/flip flopper. Now the way I went by choosing who I listened to music wise was based solely on my view of them being firly against the yoyo’s….hence, not associating with them in any way (highly disappointed with gang starr on their final album for having snoop on it). So, in your opinion, when does an underground hip hop

Successful affiliate marketers have several qualities that make them good at what they do. Not everyone will have what it takes, but may carve out a nice niche for themselves and do quite well. Read on for more.
If this is your only source of income, you’ll need to give this business your all. Don’t do part of your homework or wait for others to hand things to you. If you want to be a successful affiliate marketing person, do what it takes to get ahead. This is your business, so treat it as such. We can look at ways to make you more successful and make your learning curve shorter so you get results quicker and begin to master the world of affiliate marketing.
Basic economics says that by satisfying demand, you earn your reward, or profit. Identifying demand in the online world may seem difficult. After all, there are millions of people looking for things and you want to be able to help them find it, and earn a commission in the process. But those millions of people are all searching for something, which means that you can find a nice little niche and fill the void and collect a paycheck at the same time. You aren’t limited to some geographic area in your hometown, unless you consider the planet too small of a market. Finding people won’t be hard. Finding people who want to buy won’t be hard either. Putting them together with their product is the challenge.
Next affiliate marketing tip is to have a line of products. I typically state that when beginning in this business, starting with one product is enough. It is and you should. But once you have the basics down, and some revenue coming in, start adding products to your business and helping more people. This gives you more customers and more revenue which leads to greater success.
Third point for affiliate marketing basics is not to put down your competition. Don’t get in the habit of bad-mouthing or making your business stand out in a negative way. This isn’t politics and we aren’t politicians. Mud slinging is unnecessary and will get you nowhere. Stick to the facts and learn from people who are better than you. Be a good student and prepare to be a better teacher.
Fourth point is to consider some customer service. Be prompt, courteous and answer the question posed to you. Nothing is more aggravating than canned responses that don’t address the original question, ignorant or disrespectful customer service in affiliate marketing.
The bottom line is to keep customers happy. Doing that ensures you have a great reputation and that referrals come your way which is better for your income.
There is risk in this business, just as there is with every activity in life. Take control of your business, get good at it, master it and make a difference. People will reward you for doing so.

Affiliate programs are a great way to make money because you don’t have to do anything but market them. The owner of the product takes care of the setup, maintaining the site, and they take care of the customers. This is why it’s worth it to take the time to market these types of products.
There are a number of sites that offer affiliate programs all in one place. It makes it easier to find products that are in line with your business. When you market products that are what your target market uses and needs, it will be easier to make sales. ClickBank and E-junkie are two that you can check out when you’re looking for products to market.
When you decide to look for products that are in line with your target market, you need to think about what they like, what they use, and what can help them. You don’t want to try to market things that they won’t use. Doing that is the best way to not have sales. If you can’t figure this out, create a survey and send it to your market. When they send the survey back, send a freebie of some sort to thank them for taking the time.
Once you have the ideas in place, go to the different affiliate sites and search for products that meet what you need. Most programs offer wonderful tools to help you promote the products you choose. They offer tools like buttons, banners, text ads, blog posts, and articles you can use. While these tools are not important, they do make it easier to promote the products.
Now that you have the products picked out, it’s time to start promoting them. There are several different ways to promote these products. You can add a button to your site that links to your program. This will help with the people that visit your site.
Another way to promote these products is to create a Twitter or Facebook post. Remember the 140 character limit on Twitter when you’re creating this ad. It’s a good idea to use a TinyURL link so it takes up minimal space in your ad.
Affiliate marketing is an easy way to make money with less work. You can find a number of products that’ll be a perfect for your target market and you’ll be able to increase your income while helping them at the same time.
