AdSense for Domains Expands Use of Keyword Hints - Inside AdSense: "AdSense for Domains Expands Use of Keyword Hints
Wednesday, January 13, 2010 | 12:47:00 PM
Labels: AdSense features
You asked for it, you got it! AdSense for Domains, which launched a year ago to help publishers earn revenue through ads placed on undeveloped domains, now uses optional keyword hints more often. These keywords are suggestions supplied to Google by domain owners about the types of content users are looking for when they arrive on an undeveloped domain. They are used to help our system determine the best ads to place on these domains. For example, with the domain www.rockstarsand.com, a publisher might suggest the keywords "bitumen" and "mining" so that ads may appear from advertisers offering oil extraction products. "

2007 October | ChaiDomains.com - Part 2: "We are able to keep the Torah and are not being threatened with loss of life, loss of income, loss of shelter, we need not fear persecution for our religous beliefs and customs. We can support Ha-Torah by embracing it, and we can be happy, because the ways of the Torah are ways of pleasantness.We should also recall that:

Hashem Elokim commanded the the man saying, “You may certainly eat from every tree in the Garden. But from the Tree of Knowledge of what is good and evil, you shall not eat from it, for on the day you eat from it, you will certainly die“. (Bereeishis 2:16-2:17- The Metsudah Linear Chumash)"

In The Beginning: "Moshe, our teacher seemed to have had gotten caught up in the mathematics of the matter and was questioning Hashem how it was possible to provide meat for the 600,000 with available supplies of sheep and cattle. Indeed Moshe had even considered a parve alternative, how about fish?

Was there enough fish in the sea to satisfy the appetites of the 600,000 for a month? It seems that Moshe’s dialogue with Hashem was a highlight pointing out the nature of man’s desire"

New York Religious Discrimination Lawyer :: Religous Discrimination :: Morristown, New Jersey Employment Law Attorney: "Similarly, where employees need a little flexibility to practice their religion outside of work, the employer might have to comply. This might mean not scheduling an employee to work on her Sabbath day, for example, or relaxing a dress code so that an employee can wear religious garments.

Companies do, however, have some flexibility in how they accommodate employees. An employer is required to make reasonable accommodations -- not to accept whatever accommodation the employee suggests, nor to spare the employee all expenses in making the accommodation. For example, your employer might give you the day off for a religious observance, but do so without pay."

Why So Many Diets Do Not Work. | The Writers' Cafe

2008-09-17T11:05:00.000-07:00

Why So Many Diets Do Not Work. The Writers' Cafe: "Why do so many diets fail?
Getting the human body to use fat as its fuel is apparently going against the general method for which the human body is designed, regarding using energy stored as fat.

The body must go into an emergency mode which is the mode it goes into during fasting, and later starvation. Yes the body can consume fat as its preferred source of energy, however the carbohydrate intake must be extremely restricted to very low levels. Also you can not go on a diet like this for a day, go off the next day and then go back on (and expect it to work) because the body first uses up the energy stored in the liver (as glycogen) and also to some extent and will actually break down muscle during its first 24 hours of extreme carbohydrate deprivation."

9/11/2001- The Writers' Cafe: "Political theorists would have us believe that the economy of our country has taken a major downturn simply because perhaps a handful of the wealthiest have lost a few poorly placed bets on the great economic roulette wheel of “high tech stocks”.

Our nation’s leader would now have you believe the same “voodoo economy” nonsense that his party predecessors have promoted. Many armchair critics have already sited the president’s agenda as nothing short of class war"

Philosophy- The Spiral Staircase. The Writers' Cafe: "Life as we experience it is rarely just one straight and direct line from point A to point B. Perhaps if life was like that then perhaps life itself would not be so very interesting. I imagine one of my readers dropping his head into his hands at this point and saying to himself “interesting, that’s what you call my endless tsuris, struggles and aggravation, interesting!” yes exactly!
If you think deeply about it (as us philosophers often do) just about any single happy memory you may have, most likely has some aspect of sadness or melancholy contained within it. Or, if you prefer, perhaps some of our sadest moments may hold some aspect of joy (even if it is of a bittersweet nature) within it."

"In order to eat chocolate ice cream, you will need some ice cream, and a spoon would be nice.

In order to blog, you will need a computer, some way to connect to the Internet, some sort of text editor (wysiwyg: what you see is what you get, works well), some sort of host (be it Google or Word Press) an Internet browser (that’s the icon you click on that takes you away into the Internet world) and a keyboard would be nice!

editors note: Blogging is better than eating chocolate ice cream not necessarily simpler.

If you eat chocolate ice cream too fast, you might get an ice headache.

If you blog too fast you might make a few typos, a much different sort of headache.

While your eating chocolate ice cream, you might be tempted to do something else. If you do something else while eating chocolate ice cream, you might spill your ice cream, and make a mess."

Oy Vey! They Became Religious! | Cross-Currents: "And while R’ Eliezrie may be right that it is an act of insecurity for a baal teshuvah to try to limit interaction with non-frum relatives, isn’t such insecurity understandable?

Not having had the benefit of being raised in a frum environment, he/she is constantly learning on the job. It would be unreasonable to expect a baal teshuvah to have the same confidence in himself as an FFB.

That said, I also agree with those who commented that a baal teshuvah can’t just ignore his non-frum relatives. First and foremost is the halachic imperative.

Becoming a baal teshuvah is much more than a lifestyle change; it’s a commitment to observe the mitzvos, all of them. [The Gerer Rebbe, the 'Beis Yisrael', often expressed his dissapointment that only the non-frum become baalei teshuvah, but FFBs don't...."

"...Are we so afraid of what we teach our kids that they can’t know that their grandparents are not Frum. In my mind it is an act of insecurity that some try to limit the relationships between family members, except in a case that there is intent for malicious harm. Is our Yiddiskiet so weak that we need fear interaction with families members will harm our children’s Yiddiskiet.

I have much personal experience with this. My in-laws where the classically traditional Jews. Growing up in the thirties and forties they had parents that where Shomer Shabbos, but they received no Yeshiva education. They ate kosher in and Chinese out..."

In The Beginning: "may have only been a small minority at first that complained regarding lack of meat and were dissatisfied with manna, that they managed exert a negative influence on the rest of the people. R. Shimon sites leadership who were held accountable for not seeking to soothe the complainers an encouraging them to be faithful. The complaining had effected Moshe so negatively that he in turn complained to Hashem that he could not carry the entire nation alone, Hashem then instructed Moshe"

National Geographic magazine: February 1999 @ nationalgeographic.com: "water throughout and around the Everglades is managed and controlled by two agencies, the South Florida Water Management District and the Army Corps of Engineers. Water, which naturally would have flowed throughout the park, is held in reservoirs, channeled in dikes, and, above all, prevented from spilling into bordering farms and the suburbs of Greater Miami. To water managers, say Pimm and Bass, the drying western prairies of the Everglades in the spring look like an excellent place to dump excess water, which is what happened for several years beginning in 1993. While this protected some homes and roads, it has proved a disaster for the sparrow and, the biologists suspect, for other species, including many wading birds, such as egrets and herons whose nesting patterns have also been disrupted. “We’re losing the sparrow and probably other species just because of water management decisions,” says Bass on the flight back to the airport. “Admittedly, it is a big problem managing the water here, especially in stormy years. But all it takes is holding off a couple of months, as the agencies did last year, to let the birds nest and rear their young. It’s a matter of making the right decision.” If the Cape Sable sparrow’s nesting grounds are not flooded, Pimm and Bass think their population will begin to increase. For other species, though, no decision will change their fate; they are simply doomed to disappear from Earth. "

The Action Blog - Blog Action Day » Blog Archive » Why Bloggers Will Change the World, and How You Can Help: "Freedom of speech. Blogs allow ordinary citizens to exercise the power of the freedom of speech in ways that have never been possible before. Sure, we were always able to get on a soap box and spout off, but until now, there was no way to really be heard. And sure, even now it’s hard to be heard with so many blogs out there, but there’s no question that it’s much easier to be heard by a global audience now than it once was. The freedom of speech is a powerful tool, and one that is taken for granted by many people in the industrialized world. Blogs make that tool even more powerful. "

Kapporas To Swing And Slaughter Or Not To Swing And Slaughter

2007-09-18T19:49:00.000-07:00

Opinion of the Authur, Aharon Moshe ben-Dovid (AhMbDvd):

The ritual slaughter of Chickens is a well established custom for jews prior to Yom Kippor. It is a simple ritual that when performed properly gives one a deep sense of how extreme a harsh judgement from Hashem can be.

Kaparos: The individual (a male takes a male chicken, female a female chicken, and a pregnant women takes two female chickens, and one male chicken) and recites a short passage of scripture three times while encirling a live chicken above one's head. The person doing the Kaparot then witnesses the slaughter of the very same chicken.

As far as any possible controversy there really should be none. The kosher slaughter of the chicken has never been questioned by any animal rights groups. Probably the biggest element which provides for an incredible amount of controversy has to do with using the actual slaughtered chicken itself as Tzeduka. Because if you personally do not wait around until the chicken which you witnessed being slaughtered is fully processed (multiply this by a number proportionate -even if its say 10%- of the ortthodox population in Brooklyn) then you could well imagine that the bodies of the dead or dying chickens begin to pile up quickly, which is exactly what happened in http://crownheights.info/index.php?itemid=7711&catid=3 Crown Heights in 2006.

The most simple, understandable and normal thing to do after personally witnessing the kosher slaughter of the animal that was specifically intended to serve as a substitute for a negative judgement from Hashem, would be to wait for your slaughtered animal to be further processed in a kosher manner and take it home to be cooked, and eat it!

Any issue regarding how, or when to eat the chicken which was personally slaughtered for you, in your name, as a partial atonement, or reminder of you aveiras (sins) can alaways be handled. However the thing that you (if in Brooklyn you represent an individual amongst thousands) need to keep in mind, elect not to take the kosher, freshly slaughtered chicken home to cook and to later eat, is that you are now contributing and yes creating a situation where there will bound to be a surplus of thousands of chickens (including the one slaughtered in your name) which will not be subsequently and efficiently fully and humanely processed for consumption in accordance with kosher halacha.
