Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Is it possible for any religious organization to censor what it’s members read? I’m not talking about countries where the government is one of religious nature and therefore what the religion says the government follows through with it. I’m referring to religious bodies or organizations whether loose knit or close community; could the leaders of the organization actually censor or ban what its’ members read? For instance, where I live there are various organizations affiliated with different religious groups. So can one organization that is affiliated with Hinduism censor what it’s members read? Or can one organization that is affiliated with Christianity, such as Roman Catholicism or Anglicanism censor what it’s members read? I know that religious leaders and organizations can advise against reading such and such. But is it possible that they can implement stricter policies?

NEW YORK, New York (Achieve3000, April 30, 2008). Michael Bitz is known for coming up with creative ways to make school fun. Bitz is a 36-year-old professor from Columbia University in New York. He is the founder of a popular program in which kids practice reading and writing by creating comic books. This month, Bitz beat out about 150 others to win a national competition—and a $250,000 fellowship—for his latest educational program. The program helps students learn academic subjects while creating their own record labels.
Bitz is the first-ever winner of the fellowship. It was awarded through The Mind Trust, a nonprofit group. The Mind Trust’s mission is to encourage entrepreneurial solutions to problems in U.S. schools. The organization seeks bold ideas that will promote change in public education. It is also interested in programs that are inexpensive. The organization wants to ensure the programs can easily be replicated.
Bitz’s program, called “Youth Music Exchange,” meets both of these qualifications. First, it provides a creative way to learn. Second, it costs about $2,500 per school. This is relatively inexpensive for a high-tech program.
Bitz is already trying out his new idea in several after-school programs in New York City. Students in the programs compose songs and create digital music tracks. They even design cover art for their CDs. They even develop plans for marketing their CDs.
Through the fellowship, Bitz hopes to expand the program to Indianapolis schools. Unlike the schools in New York City, it will become a part of the regular school day there. That will be a challenge in many districts. This is because there is an intense focus placed on reading and math. Those subjects are tested under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. Concentration on these core academic subjects frequently occurs at the expense of other non-tested school activities, such as music and art.
Although it is music-based, Bitz says that his program addresses schools’ concerns about meeting their annual progress goals associated with NCLB. He believes that Youth Music Exchange will likely boost test scores in subjects such as math and reading. For example, Bitz says, students can develop math skills by outlining marketing and business strategies for selling their CDs.
“[Youth Music Exchange can be] built into the process of what the children are supposed to be doing,” Bitz said.
Students who have used the program agree that it helps them learn. This surprised Madelyne Giron, 13. She says that the fun she was having in Bitz’s music program related to the work she was doing in her English class. “We were writing the songs, and we did similes [and] metaphors,” she said.
Youth Music Exchange also seems to have social benefits. Andre Joyles organizes the program at a high school in Queens, New York. Joyles says the program can assist with the often challenging task of building teen confidence. Joyles noted that one sophomore was painfully shy at the beginning of the school year. This student had a secret interest in writing poetry. But she never shared her work with anyone. Through the program, the student began putting her words to music. She then shared the effort with her peers. “She never really used to express herself,” Joyles said. “She’s open with us now.”
Student Katherine Saldana noted that making CDs has helped the kids in her after-school program to get along better with one another.
Bitz said that bringing music-making to schools is a sure way to draw kids in. “There’s just something about music that helps kids connect to themselves and the world at large,” he said.

Hi,thanks for reading.
Im in a bit of a dilema, i have been given a business by a dear friend of my dad.
He had invented a cleaning product that is in my opinion the best the market has ever had! not mentioning names but they are nothing good compared to this product…it had even been used in buckingham palace and given the queens stamp of approval ! he has teached me the secret ingredients and method of producing this product but im at a loss where to go with it? When he was in business he did everything solely in his garage at his home & made a comfortable living from it. He ceased in business due to ill health and a marraige breakdown but was on the brink of having large interest by an american cleaning company..not mentioning no names…I am still young at 29 but i am a hard worker and committed to everything i do. I just dont know how to start having little money to start it up again can anyone give me good advise on how to go about things ?
any advise is valuable….thanks

It seems like most lucrative degrees and eventual careers nowadays are math-centric. You really need to have an affinity for numbers if you want to get a decent job in this crappy economy.
I, on the hand, am not that good in mathematics. I excel in other areas. My bad luck with numbers is averted in effect by my affinity with words. I am excellent in utilizing the English language. Being a bookworm, I have good reading comprehension, a wide array of knowledge on a plethora of topics, and am a speed reader. Such skills seem to be overlooked, if not completely ridiculed, by employers. A solid career seems unclear to me as of now. I just want to find a niche major and stick with it in college.
Can anyone suggest any major which would fit my seemingly mediocre skills?
