“Remember O Lord what is come upon us.
Behold, see our reproach.
Our inheritance is turned unto strangers, our houses unto aliens….
Men said among the nations:
They shall no more sojourn here.”
How long before we realize that as long as GOD’S inheritance is trampled by Nazi-Muslims, the holy site of HIS House lies in ruins and militant foreign mosques pollute and pervert its holy purpose, nobody’s home in Israel is safe from harm?
Why shouldn’t Israeli homes be surrendered to aliens when the Temple Mount remains under foreign occupation?
Instead of crying, why not do something constructive like BUILD THE TEMPLE? If not now, when? Couldn’t the horrors proposed to be unleashed upon the Jews of faith in Gaza/Gush Katif and Shomron be a WAKE UP CALL to remember God’s House and build it?
Properly secure and restore the TEMPLE Mount, construct the House of Prayer for all peoples, invite God into the spiritual sanctuary of your hearts and minds, and welcome Him back into your physical lives and Land and your homes and property are safe and secure.

In the early 1900’s, F1 Motor Racing took place with primitive vehicles and elder gentleman drivers, nevertheless the main F1 Motor Racing Championship didn?t take place until the nineteen fifties. While the several years passed & the sport built up, it hastily became understandable that Formula 1 was the peak championship for motorsport. The racing vehicles were the speediest, the equipment was the most superior & the drivers were at the height of their physical shape coming from foreign countries all around the planet.
With the new introduction of sponsorship contribution, Formula 1 took on its more world-wide arrangement & is currently be taken seriously as big business ? with investment reaching millions and billions with immense ease. With big success arrives politic affairs and sometimes it is the people you are acquainted to and how much riches you have that brings you what you are after. Formula 1 Motor Racing is riddled with conspiracy theorists ? I will divulge to being one of them ? but depending on how absorbed you want to get in the Formula 1 Racing society, that part of things is quickly neglected. What in fact matters is what arises on the race weekend.
Touring over the earth for practically eight months of the year, Formula 1 Racing calls different countries large and small, prosperous & destitute, with colourful landscapes, amazing habitants and plenty of native knowledge to be soaked up. A race weekend covers Friday, Saturday and Sunday, a Formula 1 Racing weekend is an intense ride, from early testing, to the dying laps of the F1 race.
The fundamental configuration contains a F1 race every couple of weeks. now and then the Formula One calendar is played with a little bit & there are Formula 1 races on back-to-back weekends, or ever so often you have to go lots of weeks before seeing the known F1 racing drivers again. When it is time for another F1 race, you can monitor the news for your desired Formula 1 team as they appear at their destination. Friday consists of practice meetings, Saturday is for qualifying and Sunday is for competition time. For Formula 1 Drivers Bio’s, past and present, then go to F1Tribute.com now.

St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland is believed to have brought Christianity to Ireland in the fourth century. He is believed to have removed many practices followed by pagan religions during that time. He is famous for having driven away all the snakes from Ireland, which refers to the practice of snake worshipping.
He is thought to have died on 17th March. Some stories about him are products of fertile imaginations over the centuries. What is important is that he gave the Irish Catholics an identity. Irish people celebrate 17th march as St.Patricks Day. On this day, most of the cities where Irish have a big population celebrate the day with parades. This day is the day to celebrate the Irish spirit. Color green, shamrocks, and good luck.
Shamrock And Irish People -
Shamrock, the three-leafed clover has special significance for the Irish. Earlier this was also called the seamroy. Though some people believe that Shamrock was used by Saint Patrick to explain the Christian doctrine, though there are no proofs of that. Shamrock is surely the symbol of Irish. Along with other Irish symbols or other things that are associated with Ireland such as green, gold and Luck, shamrock reminds everyone around the world of Ireland immediately.
Traditional Food -
Corned Beef and cabbage meal is the traditional Irish food for the Saint Patricks Day. Though the traditional food has been Irish bacon, corned beef saves money and is becoming popular amongst the Irish Americans. On St. Patricks Day, Chicago River is turned green for several hours by using green vegetable dye. What a great way to celebrate the day. Wishing you all a Happy St. Patricks Day.

If you are looking for cheap flights to JFK then you are almost always in luck. It’s quite strange that the most expensive city in the United States almost always has the cheapest flights from far-away destinations, but it’s really true. The main factor in that is that nearly every airline you’ve ever heard of flies into JFK every day of the year. For example, from London, there are probably 8 or 10 airlines that fly between that city and JFK, so in order to fill their planes every day they have to be extremely competitive with their prices. Compare that to a city like, say, Memphis, Tennessee, which probably has only 1 or 2 airlines flying there from London regularly. When that happens the airlines can charge almost whatever they want and they’ll get away with it because some people just have to get on those planes no matter what. There are two other airports in the New York City region, and both of them also have very competitive fares so it’s usually wise to check all three before you finalize your plans. If you enter a airport code of NYC you can usually check all three at the same time, so it’s a good code to know.

“But there are other difficulties with the Ark of the Covenant that have to do with the possibility that it could have been part of the treasure of Rome brought by Visigoths to Rennes-le-Chteau. According to the Old Testament, Exodus, the Ark of the Covenant was constructed soon after the Israelites had escaped across the Red Sea from bondage in Egypt.
Modern engineers have been intrigued by the specification of the Ark because, if the directions are followed precisely, one ends up making a fairly powerful electrical condenser. It was a box of very specific dimensions made of acacia wood (an insulator). It was covered, inside and out, with gold (an excellent conductor). If the two surfaces of the gold were separated from each other, then a very powerful condenser of electricity is the result. In the dry air of the Middle East, it would accumulate a very powerful charge. (15)
But the Ark was more than just a condenser, it was a ’spark transmitter’ roughly tuned to a specific frequency by the very precise dimensions given to Moses for the basic acacia-wood box. In this matter, the Ark was similar to early ‘cavity tubes’ in 1930s radar research where the desired radar frequency was obtained by actually machining cavities of various volumes into metal blocks. {So we can see how electricity aided the gold merchants who were plating silver or lead from archaeology, perhaps. We know there are other galvanic and electrical sources for such power as well.} The Ark was a ‘cavity’ of precise dimensions, and one in a gold-sheathed box.
The Ark also had a top, of the same general construction as the basic box. This lid of the box had golden ‘cherubim’ at each end {Imagine if they were able to induce separate polar charges in the ‘high- spin’ atomic state per the writings of Gardner from ’science’; into each of these ‘cherubim’.} and a ‘Mercy Seat.’ {Mercy might then be like ‘devoted ones’ or a form of capital punishment to be used in conjunction with energizing the soul be ritual into the tubes we hear were receptacles for souls and which may tie in with the jade tubes on the head of the Prince of Palenque from the ’science’ segment.} The Bible doesn’t tell” us exactly how these components were arranged, or how they were attached to the Ark’s top. It is well to remember that although Moses is supposed to be the author of Exodus, according to Hebrew tradition, the earliest known written account dates from almost one thousand years later {And there is uncertainty about who Moses was and when he was around as we have shown. But, his sister was one of the most adept alchemists, I think.}. Moses might not have described everything about the Ark in the first place, but even if he had, it seems probable that some details would have become fuzzy in the one thousand years of oral transmission before the story was written down.
Without assuming any ’secret’ or ‘unknown’ components at all, but working only with the Ark as described, only two assumptions are necessary in order to construct a fairly powerful spark transmitter. One assumption is that an ancient, pliable insulating material was available so that the parts of the Ark could be attached in ways that both insulated them from, and conducted them to, the basic box condenser-cavity-frequency- modulator in order to produce a ‘circuit’. Such an insulating material was widely available to the ancient Israelites and Egyptians–bitumen, tar. {For example Sodom and Gomorrah and what is now Iraq is populated with tar pits. Pitch fires of a continual nature existed in places like the La Brea Tar Pits for eons and would have provided early man with fire, too.} And we don’t need to assume that artisans and priests in the ancient Middle East used bitumen to insulate and to seal simple electrical devices.
Wet-cell electric batteries, using acidic citrus juice as an electrolyte, were discovered in a Baghdad museum. (16) They were sealed with bitumen, and the internal electrodes were insulated from each other with bitumen. These primitive batteries have been dated to about A.D. 700. But fundamental electric devices were used much earlier than that. Tiny golden beads from XVIII Dynasty Egypt (c.1550 B.C.) were found to have only a thin coating of gold over some base metal {We showed Ashkelon had a calf of Ba’al with silver plating from Phoenicians and the National Geographic in ’science’. The Phocaeans had mass produced electrum plated coinage first according to Michael Grant, etc., etc.}. The beads are so small, and also without any sort of seam or hammered edge to the gold layer, that the gold could have been applied only by electroplating. (17) Given a citrus-juice battery like those of Baghdad {Where a printed circuit in a museum was thought to be embroidery by archaeologists until a computer expert saw it.}, electroplating of gold would not have been difficult. So we don’t have to assume an electrical insulating material, and we don’t have to assume basic knowledge of electricity in Middle Eastern antiquity. We know it.
The second assumption is that there were instructions, or a model, indicating what was to be insulated with bitumen, and what was to be solidly attached with the ubiquitous gold. {They had superconductive knowledge according to Gardner and calcium is useful in these regards.}
Let us consider one ‘cherub’ at one end of the Ark. These ‘cherubim’ seem to have been the Egyptian idea of a ‘griffon’–an animal with claws and long pointed wings {Important in the gargoyle genre of gothic architecture and alchemy.}, a sort of cross between a lion and a hawk. Let us suppose that our cherub at one end of the box had one gold claw connected to the inner sheet of gold on the acacia-wood box, and the other claw attached to the gold sheath on the exterior of the acacia box. Further, suppose that this separation was maintained up to the long wings, which were of gold. Suppose that the wings were hinged or pivoted to be able to ‘flap’ like a proper cherub. Maybe they were just mounted in a glob of bitumen with bars, wires, or much more flexible leather-sheathed chain-links {Or ultra strong human hair.} of gold maintaining the required connections.
Assembled like this, there would be a very formidable spark between the cherub’s pointed gold wings each time they were pushed close together. The Ark would arc–because of the electric charge that had accumulated in the condenser. And it would arc according to a rough frequency dictated by the dimensions of the Ark’s basic cavity. Touching the wings at once with bare hands would have resulted in instant death or burn depending on the strength of the charge that had been accumulated. Operating the Ark, or even touching it, would have been a potentially fatal business for anyone not thoroughly initiated into necessary procedures. The Bible mentions at least one instance in which a non-priest fell dead trying to save the Ark–the man grabbed it when it was in danger of falling off a wagon. This was in the early days of Israelite struggles in Canaan.
A priest could move the wings with sticks of wood as insulation, {Thales invented (?) a small steam engine.} or perhaps some fancier arrangement of moving the cherub’s wings was contrived. Maybe there was a simple lever system insulated appropriately with wood, leather and bitumen–pull the cherub’s tail (or head) and the wings would approach each other to make an arc, for example. Simple ‘wooden’ linkages.
Making such an electric arc in a dark place like a tent or a central Temple crypt without windows (i.e., the ‘Holy of Holies’) would have been hard on the priest’s eyes {and impressive to the great unwashed}. If the ’stones’ in the Urim and Thummim were sheets of mica, common in the Middle East, then The Bible’s ’silver bows’ in which they were mounted would have resulted in granny-style welder’s glasses. These would have saved the High Priest’s eyesight when communicating with the ‘Lord’.
This sort of ‘arc-spark’ transmitter would have sent bursts of what we call static out into the atmosphere. {And for uninitiated artists or journalistic historians they might describe it as forces such as waft and whirl in the Spielberg movie.}
What about the ‘receiver’? Let’s consider the other cherub at the other end of the arc. It would need to be completely separated from the structure of the Ark by a layer of bitumen. Its wings were supposedly golden, too, and if they were balanced and supported well, an ‘electroscope’ results. When this cherub was engulfed in a burst of electromagnetic radiation, its wings would repel each other and flap apart. This would naturally happen whenever the cherub at the other end of the Ark was manipulated to produce a spark-arc. If the receiving cherub’s wings were delicately counterbalanced, they would close again as the charge on the open wings dissipated.
There would be a charming and satisfying symmetry to the antics of these cherubim wings–a spark made by moving the transmitting cherub’s wings closer together would cause the receiving cherub’s wings to open.
{Do you think anyone sought to identify one as male and the other female and justify why men are entitled to ’spark’ females who must ‘open’ to them’?}
But the receiving cherub’s wings would sometimes open when the spark-cherub was not being operated. This electroscope would also respond to natural bursts of electromagnetic energy–lightning. A nearby storm would cause very definite wing movements indeed {If you can refer to the entry under divining-rod you will see they may have been able to track such natural energy as the Nazca lines which are over tectonic rifts deep in the earth.}, while a lightning strike hundreds of miles away might cause barely a twitch of the wings.
But if a one time there were a number of Arks, all made the same way, the receiving cherub would also respond to electromagnetic energy purpose full caused by a High Priest operating some distant Ark. If the transmitting Ark was many miles distant, the repelling movement of the receiving cherub’s wings might be very small–too minute to be detected, {There could be specified times to transmit and re-transmit back to a central area where a person was involved in the king’s chamber that accentuated their psychic sensitivity.} with certainty, by a priestly observer. But this problem could be easily solved. With a small light source, like a candle or an oil lamp {Or the pendulums covered in the Divining-rod entry with the psychic.}, ‘religiously’ positioned at specific places near the receiving cherub, even tiny wing movements could be greatly amplified by jewels on the wings. The jewels would reflect the light onto some surface–a wall of a Temple sanctum or the dark cloth of a bedouin canopy–so that, in a dark chamber, the reception could be clearly perceived.
The technology described above was well within the resources and capabilities of the Ancient Egyptian and Israelite artisans. The idea for it is the problem {He wrote this before the Mungo Man discovery.}.
More than one modern radio engineer has noted that the Ark of the Covenant was a primitive sort of ’spark transmitter’ that could send, and receive, strong electromagnetic impulses–in fact, the Ark seems quite similar to the transmitter with which Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1857-94) was able to demonstrate the existence of ‘Hertzian’ (radio) waves in 1888. With his slightly more evolved spark transmitter, Guglielmo Marchese Marconi (1874-1937) first sent long-distance electromagnetic waves in 1895 {He did not invent the radio and 25 years after Tesla died the U. S. Patent Office awarded the patent to Tesla, or at least acknowledged he discovered it. For those who know the origin of Tesla’s knowledge and ‘vision’ you will understand my suggestions about sensitive people or the akashic are mild in comparison.}, and then sent them across the Atlantic in 1901.
The Ark of the Covenant could have been used, and at one time must have been used, to send and receive messages over long distances. If the spark-arc could be generated in a sequence by manipulating the wings effectively {It should also be clear the codes and symbols used to send info would be important alphabet or language ingredients.}, then the bursts of static would radiate into the atmosphere in the same purposeful sequence. In the Marconi ‘wireless’ system, Morse code was mostly used. In the Morse system, for example, three short bursts ‘dot-dot-dot’, {Perhaps I should add this to my support for Ogham as an original language because Ogham adapts to this as well as sign language quite well.) represent the letter ‘S’, three longer arcs ‘dash-dash-dash’ represent the letter ‘O’. Therefore S-O-S could be sparked into the air. This is the international code for ‘Help!’
But every letter and every number can be represented by some combination of dots and dashes {The Mayan numerical system is a combination of these.}. That’s Morse code. If you have enough electricity to generate a lot of sparks, and if you have a lot of patience, {If they had chemicals in the cavity of the Ark such as phosphorus would this add to the spooky effects as well as the usefulness?} messages of any desired length and complexity can be sent. And much patience would have been required because, with a transmitter-receiver as primitive as the Ark, purposeful messages would frequently have been confused or completely drowned out by static from distant electrical storms. {Clearly the technology would be less useful if others were on the air at the same time, and the need for secrecy would be immense.} Our own early ‘wireless’ had the same problem, frustration, and inefficiency.”

Chances are unless you’re right in the throes of purchasing your
home, you’ve never even heard of private mortgage insurance.
But, if you intend to purchase a home and you don’t want put the
20% down that traditional lending institutions require, you’re
going to become very familiar with private mortgage insurance.
What is private mortgage insurance and who pays for private
mortgage insurance? This article will take the opportunity to
discuss private mortgage insurance and why you’re required to
purchase it; we’ll also examine the latest federal regulations
governing private mortgage insurance.
Let’s first define what private mortgage insurance actually is,
and why you might be required to purchase the insurance. Private
mortgage insurance is an insurance purchased to protect the
lender, not the borrower. The borrower however pays for the
mortgage insurance, and is provided to the lender instead of the
20% down payment normally required when purchasing real estate.
The insurance provides the difference between the fair market
value of the home and the actual price a lender may be able to
sell the property for, in case of a default on the loan.
Normally, the lender will require a 20% down payment and forgo
the private mortgage insurance option. However, under certain
circumstances if the buyer has an excellent credit rating, is
well known to the lender, and is deemed to be low risk, private
mortgage insurance may be an option offered by the lender.
The current mortgage market seems to be flooded with such varied
products as the interest only loan and the 125 loans that
private mortgage insurance seems to be a thing of the past. You
rarely encounter a situation when the buyer is required to
purchase the private mortgage insurance; those situations most
likely to continue to require the purchase of the private
mortgage insurance are those where the lender is a traditional
lending institution. Mortgage companies have long since ceased
requiring borrowers to purchase private mortgage insurance.
Mortgage investors, such as the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
programs, have recently come to the aid of the borrower by
introducing an option to the primary mortgage market that allows
borrowers to pay as little as 5% down and purchase only enough
mortgage insurance to cover 25% of the loan; this creates a
potential citing situation for the borrower. The borrower may
pay a slightly higher interest rate in order to lower the cost
of insurance that the advantage lays here: mortgage interest is
fully tax deductible, private mortgage insurance is not.
There’s another option, also regulated by the federal government
and passed into law in 1999, known as the homeowners protection
act of 1998 established rules for regulation of private mortgage
insurance requirements once a homeowner reaches a level of 20%
equity. What the law requires, in layman’s terms, is that a
lending institution must notify you once your equity levels
reach 20% of the appraised value of the home. Once you the kind
of 20% equity level, you must be given the option to drop
private mortgage insurance. If this proposal had passed into law
some 20 years ago, it would have been met with great resistance
among the lending community; today, the interest only loan and
loans that offer mortgages in excess of the appraised value of
the home overshadow the effect of the 1998 homeowner’s act.
Many homeowners seem to mistake the private mortgage insurance
purchased in order to secure the loan, with that of the
homeowner’s liability insurance. Lenders are responsible for
making clear the distinction between private mortgage insurance
purchased to protect the lender versus the homeowner’s liability
insurance purchased to protect the homeowner. Both forms of
insurance will need to be purchased, and the borrower will be
responsible for payment of both insurance premiums.
Quite often as we go through the mortgage process, we encounter
many unexpected expenses; private mortgage insurance is normally
one of those unexpected expenses. As a consumer if you’re
contemplating the purchase of a home, contact your local lending
institution, or a mortgage company in your area, and asked for
information concerning the purchase of a home for first-time
homeowners. The information you’re provided should contain all
the terms, conditions and terminology explanations that you will
need in order to make an educated decision when choosing lenders
and homes.

Today, we’re going to cover 6 More BIG Benefits to selling Big Ticket items
as an AFFILIATE.
First, we had better define both Big Ticket Item and Affiliate.
A Big Ticket Item is any product or service that sells for more than $500 or
$1000.
An Affiliate is someone who sells other people’s products.
Or, at least, those are my definitions. I’m sure there are other possible
definitions but for this article, let’s stick with the simple descriptions I’ve
given, ok?
Now, let’s take a close look at benefits.
Benefit #1: Perks, Perks, Perks
You often get other types of perks or fringe benefits on Big Ticket items
besides your percentage of the sale.
Let’s take seminar or workshop seat sales as an example. As a seminar affiliate,
your job is to “put butts in seats”. So, if a seminar ticket costs $4997 and
your affiliate fee is $1000 per seat, you sell 5 seats and you make $5000. Not
bad!
But, in many cases, the seminar promoter also offers a deal where if you sell so
many seats, you can go to the seminar for FREE! They might run a “Sell 3, Go for
Free” campaign. So, not only do you make $5000 but you get to attend the $4997
seminar for free.
And sometimes the seminar promoter will offer an additional cut of the sales if
you sell over a minimum number of seats to their event. So, if you sell over 10
seats, you might get an additional $500 for every seat over 10 you sell. Even if
this isn’t offered, you can often negotiate a deal like this with the promoter.
These are just a few examples. There are many other types of perks that are
available or that you can negotiate.
Benefit #2: Super Affiliate Extras
Let’s say you get really good at affiliate selling Big Ticket Items. You could
become known as a super affiliate. A super affiliate is simply an affiliate who
is capable of generating a significant percentage of the sales of any affiliate
program.
In other words, you are “kicking butt” and producing more sales and revenue than
many if not all of the other affiliates in a product owners affiliate program.
Now, most product owners, if they are smart, know that it is vital for them to
recognize and reward these super affiliates. After all, they are selling more
product then anybody else and they want to encourage them to continue to do so.
So many product owners will give a higher percentage of product sales to super
affiliates. If normal affiliates receive 50% of each sale, super affiliates
might get 65% to 75%.
Super affiliates may also be given advance opportunity to sell new products
being introduced by a product marketer. This means they get to sell the new
product before all the other affiliates are allowed access to it.
Plus, if you are the super affiliate, you can often negotiate other benefits,
tailored specifically to what you want for selling these Big Ticket items.
Benefit #3: Multiple Streams of Income
As an affiliate, you can help market multiple Big Ticket Items. These items can
come from the same or different product owners. And the products can be focused
at the same or different target markets.
So even if one product has a slow down in sales, the other products may be doing
fine.
Now, I am not telling you to go out and become an affiliate for a ton of
different Big Ticket items. You still need to choose products you believe in and
that are of high quality. In the long term, this will serve you much better than
a “scatter-gun” approach to Big Ticket affiliate sales.
But, the ability to chose several high quality Big Ticket items to market as an
affiliate, means that you can diversify your income streams so that you are not
dependent on one stream alone should the market slow in that area. Robert Allen
calls this Multiple Streams of Income.
It’s just a sound business concept that you should follow, even as an affiliate!
Benefit #4: Differentiate or Die!
There are a ton of products and product owners out there running affiliate
programs. Many of these programs are marketing or selling E-Books or other low
profit items. How will you differentiate yourself from all the other affiliates
flogging the same low ticket products?
I believe that the best way to set yourself apart from others is to sell Big
Ticket items as an affiliate. Many existing affiliates are uncomfortable selling
items with a big price tag because they have a hard time justifying the value of
the product to themselves.
This is why it is so important to sell only items you believe in. Your belief in
a product comes from you having carefully evaluated the product and ensuring its
high quality, yourself.
But once you understand the benefits a product can provide, it’s very easy to
sell the product to others, even when it costs a lot more.
And selling Big Ticket items gains you the appreciation and respect of product
providers much more quickly than selling their low ticket items will. That
appreciation can translate into the perks and extras we’ve discussed on other
sections of this article.
Big Ticket Affiliate Selling puts you in another class from those who only do
affiliate sales of low ticket items!
Benefit #5: Continuous Residual Income
Another type of Big Ticket item is one where the price is not a fixed amount,
one time sale. Instead, the customer purchases a product or service where they
continue to make regular payments.
Examples of this type of Big Ticket item are Membership sites, Shopping Cart
Service or Monthly Hosting Fees.
Many affiliate programs are setup such that you continue to receive a percentage
or a fixed amount per period (e.g. monthly) as long as the person you sold the
original membership remains a member of that service.
For example, the hosting service I use (where I keep my web pages) has an
affiliate program similar to the one I just described. For each person I sign up
for their service as an affiliate, I received $10. EVERY MONTH that the
person continues to use their hosting services.
Now this doesn’t sound like much. But consider this… I only pay around $25 per
month for hosting myself. All I have to do is make 3 affiliate sales of the
service and my hosting is FREE! (3 sales x $10/sale = $30 covering my
hosting costs)
Anyway, I think you get the idea that selling as an affiliate for a service
where you get an ongoing cut of the revenue stream is itself a Big Ticket Item
over time. Especially if you sell a lot of them.
Benefit #6: Multiple Tiers Means More Profit For You With No More Work!
Some affiliate programs are also setup such that you can also make money from
2nd tier sales
2nd tier sales are simply any sales of a product that a customer buys from the
same product owner or marketer after the first one that you sell that customer
as an affiliate.
Let’s look at an example.
Let’s say you sell an internet market marketing home study system for $1499 as
an affiliate to Customer X.
You get 50% of the sale or $749.50.
Customer X is very happy with the product and decides to buy the ADVANCED
internet marketing home study system directly from the creator of the original
home study system for $2499.
Now, you were not involved in the 2nd sale at all. But because the affiliate
system you joined was of the 2 tier variety, your agreement with that affiliate
program says that you get 25% of all future sales of any products in the
affiliate program to the same customer you original brought in for the first
sale.
So because Customer X is buying another product within the same affiliate
program and he was originally sold his first product by you… You get 25% of that
sale. In this case $624.75.
And you weren’t even involved in the second sale! Nice!
And that wraps it up for 6 More Big Benefits To Selling Big Ticket Items As An
Affiliate.

ever-advancing underworld of crackers, and to meet many
developers’ requests to both companies, they have come together

flexible, multi-layer, universal software copy protection and
licensing system, based on a combination of encryption and code
obfuscation techniques and aimed at prevention and protection.
The new product will be able to combat the latest and future
software threats with ease, including: reverse engineering
tricks, cracks and illegal use. Now for the first time ever it
will be compatible with different programming platforms and
environments. While the announcement of the partnership just
occurred today, the product itself has been in development state
for quite some time Both project participants are planning to
launch the beta-version in the near future.
StrongBit Technology- Specializing in windows applications copy
protection and licensing systems plans to combine their famous
protection techniques with 9Rays.net who currently specializes
in .Net software protection and decompilation. Both groups are
finally combining efforts in development of a collaborative,
cross-platform, software copy protection and license management
solution
Both 9Rays and StrongBit are known by their current
anti-cracking tools using encryption and “protection by
obfuscation” principles in application protection and license
management. Until recently these great products were always for
different programming platforms or compilers. StrongBit
EXECryptor is intended for protection of 32bit executable files
written in Basic, Delphi, and C/C++. Spices.Obfuscator from
9Rays it is oriented to protection of .Net applications.
Based off of in-depth private scientific research in software
reverse engineering, analysis, and cracks StrongBit (part of
SoftComplete Development) developed an innovative approach to
software protection based on various techniques including their
renown code obfuscation method coined ‘Code Morphing’.
Professionals have used this technique as a complete solution in
software copy protection and license management. The EXECryptor
2.x series that combines ‘code morphing’ obfuscation with
program code encryption launched two years ago, in July 2004. As
a result of some of the best protection schemes in the industry,
today it has the reputation of “uncrackable software protection”
with an open challenge to crackers. Today it is at the top of
software protection and licensing tools, with one of the longest
standing uncrackable records to date.
The 9Rays’ Spices.Obfuscator one of Spice.Net suite components
is a .Net code protection tool that offers the wide range of
technologies to protect .Net code and intellectual properties.
Spice.Net comes with five components - Obfuscator, Decompiler,
Modeler, Investigator and Documenter. Other features of this
technology are automatic size optimization and additional
options like assembly merging, adding managed resources,
self-installation and encryption features. Thus, Spices.Net does
the entire cycle of assembly processing - obfuscation,
optimization, and verification of the generated assemblies, with
both a .Net Framework and Compact Framework versions and also a
Console version.

Viral Marketing is all about giving away your own free product or service along with your ad copy (contact information, link, email, etc.). In turn, recipients of your free product are allowed to pass it along to their own clients, prospects, visitors and others as a freebie. This is a quick way to multiple your marketing at no extra expense and without extra effort on your part.
Here are some popular viral marketing techniques to follow:
1. Ebooks - Share your no cost ebook with your website visitors. Include a nice full-color ad for your most popular product line with links to your website and email. Tell recipients to share copies of the ebook with their own site visitors and other contacts.
2. Software - Share a trial or “lite” version of your software with your website visitors as a freebie. Don’t forget to include that ad for your most popular product line with links to your website and email. And tell recipients to share copies of the software with their own site visitors and other contacts. For help creating software, hire help from online bid sites like Elance.com.
3. Web Host - Offer to host small business web sites on your server at no charge. In exchange, place your own banner ad at the top of the site for viral marketing. You can setup a fold for their site and they can choose their own domain name and have it redirected to that folder.
4. Templates - Design your own website or other templates, include your own marketing information on them and give them away as free downloads or as an electronic package. Grant permission for recipients to pass them along.
5. Articles - Write articles about your industry. Include your website and contact information in the byline and grant permission for others to publish as long as they keep the byline in tact. Then people can use your contact on websites, in ezines, newsletters and other places where once again, viral marketing will speed the spread of information about your business.
6. Discussion Board - Set up a Discussion Board on your website with your banner ad attached at the top. And invite others to link to it and use it for their own sites.
In summary, by using viral marketing strategies, you can reach out all over the Internet with much less effort. See which methods work best for you and repeat them as often as needed.
