Unlike Google Adsense, this new way of making money allows you to click and earn. The more you click, the more you earn. The rule is quite simple.
How you make money
You view websites in 30 second sessions via the “Surf Ads” page. Once the 30 seconds is up, you’ll either get a green tick sign or a red ‘X’. The green tick sign means you’ve earned $0.01 and as premium member $0.0125 for the visit and the ‘X’ means you have not earned money for the visit. You’ll get red X’s when you have more than one website from the “Surf Ads” page open. When this happens, you get no credit.
A valuable benefit to both the members and the advertisers is the repeat exposure that the advertiser gets. Whenever you click and view a website, you can visit that website again in 24 hours as long as the visit cap hasn’t been reached. That’s right! After 24 hours you can click and view the website again. This gives the advertiser optimal exposure by using “repeat advertising” and it further increases the members earning potential.
Earnings example (based on current averages)
» You click 10 ads per day = $0.10
» 20 referrals click 10 ads per day = $2.00
» Your daily earnings = $2.10
» Your weekly earnings = $14.70
» Your monthly earnings = $63.00

Vietnamese workers learn foreign language before going abroad to work
VietNamNet Bridge – According to a communiqué from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), representatives of IOM and the Jordanian Labor Ministry on February 27 took a field trip to where, according to IOM, over 200 Vietnamese workers are being oppressed.
Among the visitors were representatives of the Boat People SOS Committee under the US Department of State.
According to the communiqué, most of the workers are women, except for four young male machinists.
Theodora Suter, IOM’s representative and officials of the Jordanian Labor Ministry were appalled at seeing Vietnamese women who had been beaten and were clearly starving. Suter paid special attention to a worker named Tran Thi Anh, who fainted during the visit.
The IOM and the Jordanian Labor Ministry immediately called doctors to take five workers, including Anh, to a hospital.
The communiqué also says the mission had to struggle with guards to get into the workers’ dormitory, where they were able to collect evidence of maltreatment.
When 167 Vietnamese workers decided to stop working and went on strike, the employer sent security guards to suppress and beat them.
Local police didn’t protect Vietnamese workers, but joined security guards in assaulting them. IOM recorded the words of one female worker: “They held our hair and threw us to the ground like frogs”.
According to Tuoi Tre newspaper’s sources from Jordan, Vietnamese workers are afraid for their lives and want to return to Vietnam as soon as possible.

SIMILARLY: More than 100 Vietnamese laborers in Malaysia died in 2007
Many Vietnamese workers in Malaysia strangely die
17:12′ 28/02/2008 (GMT+7)
The coffin of a Vietnamese worker in Malaysia at Noi Bai Airport
VietNamNet Bridge – Within only one week in late 2007, three Vietnamese workers were reported dead in Malaysia, raising the total number to over 100 in 2007.
According to the Overseas Labor Control Agency, around 130,000 Vietnamese workers have gone to Malaysia to work in production and processing industries. Since 2004, the agency has reported many strange deaths, mostly occurring during weekends.
From April 2002, when Vietnam began to send its workers to Malaysia, to January 2008, 315 deaths were recorded. Notably, up to over 100 Vietnamese workers died in Malaysia in 2007. This figure is much higher than in other countries, and has stirred up suspicion.
According to statistics by the Hanoi-based Noi Bai International Airport, most of the bodies of Vietnamese who die abroad and are transported into Vietnam through this airport come from Malaysia. In June 2007, Noi Bai received 15 bodies, 10 of which were from Malaysia. The ratio was 6/11 in July, 11/12 in August, 8/9 in September and 6/8 in October 2007.
A Vietnamese worker who is working in Subang 2 State, Malaysia, said since 2002, he knew of 10 Vietnamese workers who suffered sudden deaths. Many witnesses in Malaysia and the families of victims confirmed that the dead workers were healthy and strong before they died.
Dao Cong Hai, Deputy Head of the Overseas Labor Control Agency, said his agency sent a working-group to Malaysia in 2005 to survey the living standards of Vietnamese workers and sudden deaths, but were not able to discover any wrongdoing.
The reasons behind many of these deaths, according to the Overseas Labor Control Agency, is poor health conditions of many workers.
“We may say that Vietnamese people are not stronger than workers from other countries. Especially, Vietnamese are used to a humid environment and when they live in countries with dry weather, where temperatures vary greatly, their immune systems become weak. Many laborers work hard, drink a lot and don’t live healthily, and they can suffer fatal complications,” Hai said.
The high number of deaths of Vietnamese workers in Malaysia was first warned about several years ago. In October 2005, Deputy Head of the Overseas Labor Control Agency Vu Dinh Toan told the media that Vietnamese many Vietnamese works who wind up dead in Malaysia is because of their poor health, weather difference, drinking, etc. He confirmed that after the phenomenon was reported, health check-ups for workers before leaving for Malaysia was corrected and the number of deaths has already reduced. After three years, the figure is now increasing. Original source here.
FINAL NOTE: IN 2006, A MAN TOLD ME HE JUST STOPPED HIS BUSSINESS IN EXPORTING VIETNAMESE LABORERS TO MALASIA BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO HIM, ‘IT IS TOO TERRIBLE. EVERY WEEK WE HAVE TO GO TO THE AIRPORT TO RECEIVE A COFFIN’. I DID NOT BELIEVE. NOW IT IS REAL AND LIVE.
In SAS 9.*, after you have opened your data file, you need to make a ‘temporary’ data file to work on it. This will help avoid any harm to the original data you may unintentionally make.
Most SAS beginners can create the temporary file. Let’s say you’ve already opened a file called ‘worker’. Now you want to make a file called worker2 to work on.
SAS syntax:
data work2;
set worker;
run;
When looking at variables, you see the need to re-code one or more variables, to make them suitable for some type of analysis. But it has happened to many that after recoding, data disappears, or you just see only few observations in the data ‘work2′.
If the mistake lies on your thinking that you need to open file ‘work2′, you may run this:
data work2;
run;
Then, you continue with command ‘if’ to re-code variables.
If you do this, the data disappears after recoding. The newly created variables have just overridden all data in work2.
The correct way to do is to keep everything in one. That is:
data work2;
set worker;
if……then;
if…….then;
run;
Here you have new data set work2, with new variables.

This is a report for WHO, conducted by experts in London. Its main task is to judge the impact of air quality on human health in European region.
Important concepts are addressed in this report:
- Time-series studies
- Meta analysis
- Publication bias
- Many interesting (a bit complicated) tables and statistics

In qualitative analysis, it is essential that a researcher knows how to link different categories to see:
1) who (or which documents) say relatively same things
2) what factors tend to be ‘determinants’, and what are ‘dependants’, according to the informants’ accounts
So, linking categories help us to :
1) map out the net of meanings related to the issue under study
2) test and build theoretical model to explain the issue
Nvivo allows you to link a text, or a few lines of text to other sources of information in four ways:
1) link the selected text with a annotation – that is, you just make an internal note, to record something interesting about this document. In this case, the link does not actually ‘go out’. The text is linked to your thinking only.
2) link the selected text with a file in a set of files you are working on. Let us say you want to link it with a another document you think says same thing about one issue.
3) link the selected text with a website. This is in case you want to resort to that website later to take some more evidences for your arguments
4) link the selected text with another selected text in another documents. Interesting! In this case, you must have already made a node somewhere else. Then link the text with it.
But what to do with all the links now? Later when you build your model, you will need to import nodes into it. Because the nodes are accompanied with links, all the links can go with them.
Open model explorer in Nvivo, create a New, and then import the nodes for your new model.
Here we see a network of things, thanks to the ‘links’. Amazing!
But, that is quite descriptive. Then you should decide the direction for each link. Remember, you have to resort to informants’ accounts to make direction of links. Otherwise, the model is contaminated by your pre-defined theoretical ideas. The same rule should apply when you make the links in the earlier step. Just let the informants determine factors they think important for their behaviors.
When you ‘ve done with making link directions, what will you see: A model describing factors related to each other; some factors tend to be the ‘core’ ones.
Still, what you have done is purely descriptive.
if you are just reviewing a topic, then relax now.
If, however, you are writing a paper/thesis, the above is just the first, but extremely important, step.
What you have to do next is to interpret the ‘results’.
Now, go back to your theoretical thinking, sit conveniently in a nice sofa, and ask yourself why the model appears in that way.
If you are thinking in a feminist way: Is this because of gender norms?
If you are thinking in a functionalist way: Is this because each ‘factor’ in the model has some ‘function’ in the life of people you are studying?
If you are thinking in a materialist way: Is this because of unequal access to resources?
So on and so for.
Now, go back to your theoretical chapter (if you have written one). You should rewrite it basing on your reflections with the model. Mandatory! The following chapters are just to describe the model components and ‘variations’ (using Assay function to see differences in ideas between different groups in regard to age, sex, occupation, so on so for. It is like to make a cross-tab table in SPSS. But before that, you should have already grouped different age groups into different ‘sets’. Set is synonym for ‘group’). Nvivo will, of course, not produce numbers, but texts.
The Assay will help us to decide if there is any ‘pattern’ according to informants’ attributes (being men/women, old/young, unemployed/employed). It even helps you to decide which kind of ‘ideas’ are more often repeated by showing you the percent of each idea.
Then come to the discussion chapter, write what you have reflected in above task. Check grammar, print it out, and submit it!
Keep discovering Nvivo!

Tropical Medicine and International Health
volume 10 no 4 pp 357–365 april 2005
Objective:
The National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) in Vietnam is based on application of
insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs), spraying of insecticides and early microscopic diagnosis of malaria
and treatment (EDTM) with artemisinin drugs. This study explores the implementation of the NMCP at
provincial level and its impact on malaria incidence (mi) and prevalence in Binh Thuan in southern
Vietnam.
Methods
Data on implementation of EDTM, distribution of ITNs, annual mi and Plasmodium index
(pi) were derived from intervention logbooks and surveillance records kept by the provincial Malaria
Station since 1988. The relation between interventions and the change of pi over time was analysed with
Generalized Estimating Equations.
Results
Control activities focused on the highly endemic zones where ITNs were distributed free of
charge to ethnic minority groups, including twice yearly re-impregnation, from 1992 onwards. This
almost completely replaced insecticide spraying. Complete ITN coverage of these groups was achieved in
1995, constituting 40% of the entire population. In all malaria endemic communes, primary health care
posts were consecutively upgraded or installed, mainly between 1992 and 1995, offering EDTM with
artemisinin drugs free of charge. Before 1994, mi peaked to over 50/1000, pi to over 16% in the highly
endemic zones. In 1998, these had decreased to below 9/1000 and 4% respectively. The effects of the
interventions could not be discerned with statistical significance.
Conclusion
Malaria incidence and prevalence declined significantly in Vietnam, possibly due to the
malaria control efforts, but coinciding with rapid socioeconomic changes
