But possibly no recent planetary grouping can equal that of the two brightest planets Venus and Jupiter for the explanation that we seek. And if we involve the only recognized story of the Christmas Star literally, as passed on in St. Matthew, then what we genuinely demand is the appearance of not barely one, but two “stars.” The initial appearance would have been reckoned well in advance of the Magis arrival in Bethlehem, and the other at the conclusion of their long journey.

In Hellenistic star divination, Jupiter was the king planet and Regulus (in the constellation Leo) was the king star. As they moved around from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, the star “went before” the magi and then “stood over” the spot where Jesus was. In astrological interpretations, these phrases are alleged to refer to reverse motion and to placing, i.e., Jupiter seemed to reverse course for a time, then terminated, and in the end resumed its normal advance. In 32 BC, there was a series of seven alignments, including three between Jupiter and Regulus and a strikingly narrow conjunction between Jupiter and Venus near Regulus on June 17, 2 BC. “The coalition of two planets would have been a exceptional and awe-inspiring event” - according to many astronomers.

Others have offered a connectedness between a double occultation of Jupiter by the moon in 6 BC in Aries and the Star of Bethlehem, particularly the second occultation on April 17. This issue was quite nearby to the sun and would have been challenging to find, even with a small telescope, which had not yet been formulated. Occultations of planets by the moon are quite everyday, but an astrologer to Roman Emperor Constantine wrote that an occultation of Jupiter in Aries was a signaling of the birth of a divine king.

“When the princely star of Zeus, the planet Jupiter, was in the east this was the most robust time to confer kingships. Moreover, the Sun was in Aries where it is inspired. And the Moon was in very close alignment with Jupiter in Aries.”

Web Of Podcasts29 Nov 2009 09:27 am

When the signs of a new technology for developing web content appeared, nobody was aware about its growth speed. Now, after months, the podcasting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting) is going to be more and more popular and new publishers are developing content, based on this technology. They have found this method intuitive and attractive to clients. But regardless of the fascinating aspects of multimedia content, what other options make the podcasting different than other methods of providing and publishing content? Here, I have listed five major differences. Perhaps, at the time that you read this article, as this technology is going to be more mature day by day, new reasons could be added to my list. I leave it to the readers’ interests to search for new options.

  1. In spite of other known methods of delivering content which are mostly based on Push technology, the podcasting is based on pull technology. In push technology, the content is delivered, directed from the source to the consumer. The consumer has no control over it. For example, when a radio channel starts at a specific time, follows based on a predefined and fixed program and ends at a specific time, the consumer has no chance or permission to alter any part of it. If you lose a part of the program, you won’t be able to re-listen to it. You can not rewind it, stop it and think a while about the subject then re-play it. This is push technology. But, if you could have control of the flow of the content, it would be pull. The consumer selects the content and controls it. Podcasting is a kind of pull technology. You download selected content and use it based on your own desire and full control over the flow of content.

  2. However there are many notifying and automatic content syndication utilities, but you should always surf different websites for different content. This is your responsibility, as the consumer of the content, to go and visit the source of the content, on a website. But podcasting removes this step. Just one time, for ever, you choose your desire radio channel, news feed, poet channel or else. Then the aggregation software would be responsible to deliver the most recent casts right in your mobile MP3 player. After a while, you would even forget the address of websites and just listening to the downloaded up to date content would be your daily fashion.

  3. Internet connection is not that much easy to be available every time and every where. So, using web contents would be impossible in many cases. When you are driving, climbing, resting and walking in the morning, you would be deprived of having access to web content. No web log, no web surfing, no radio channel and else. But, the downloaded podcasts are available in the MP3 player which could be accessible to you in different occasions and places, making casts ready to use. No laptop and phone line to connect to the Internet is needed. No clean place to sit and use your PC for surfing the web sites is required. Everything is loaded in your tiny MP3 player which is able to play hours without any need to electricity plugged.

  4. The device for using podcasts is a tiny, every time and everywhere available MP3 player. The iPod is a brand which is owned by Apple company. It is why this technology is called Podcasting. The Pod is derived from iPod and cast from Broadcast. The iPod is not the only MP3 device that could be used. There are numerous providers of MP3 player devices that the consumer could use for listening to podcasts. These small devices are mobile. Consume very low energy to work. They are light and small. They are not expensive and are available with different capacities. MP3 players are very popular and you can see many people in the street that have hung them over their neck and are listening to the music. They are now part of the daily life. It makes the penetration ratio of the podcasts deeper than other type of contents that are basically dependant of having a PC, or laptop and Internet connection.

  5. Possibility of developing podcasts is high. It is cheap and easy to develop. From very professional radio channel owners to amateur poets who have little audiences among their school friends would be able to easily develop podcasts. Just a personal computer with very basic multimedia capabilities, like, microphone input, audio output and software to record voice, combine with background music and convert to low quality and small size MP3 format. Then you need just a FTP account for uploading the MP3s. A very basic knowledge about RSS 2.0 standards is also required. For this last option, you can use current available feeds and alter them for your own needs. I just started using this method, as learning RSS 2.0 needs times. I copied an already created RSS file and edited it based on my own needs and it worked without having enough knowledge. To download your podcasts, the consumer should install very basic aggregator software, one like iPodder (http://ipodder.sourceforge.net) which is free. And finally a MP3 player software like iTune (http://www.itune.com) or Microsoft Media Player which is already installed on Windows operating systems.

Podcasting, like web logging, is rapidly growing and every day, new podcasts in different fields, from poetry to technology, from training to radio channels are being created and published on the Internet. There are special directories and websites that index podcasts and podcasting websites. You can start from one of these directories and reach hundreds and thousands available and known podcasts on the Internet. One of these directories is http://www.podcast.net which has categorized podcasts in a directory structure. It could be a good start point for your adventure.

Introduction

In recent years forums has emerged as a great tool for sharing resources, ideas and views worldwide. Even, search engines are now giving more value to forum posts. One can create a forum and can enjoy high traffic on there site. Creating a forum needs nothing but any of the free forum software installed on your webserver. I will give some basic terminological details -

General Description and terms used
This topic can only be better understood if you have knowledge for few basic terms. If you are aware of following terms just skip it for the next heading.

Admin - Admin is organizer of the forum. He can add or delete any user, can ban any IP address, manage all forums and boards on the forum and do all house keeping activities.

Topic - Topic appear as menu on any board. Usually, every topic is replied. The topic and replies together make any discussion.

User - Simple visitors of the forum. They have a User ID and a password. They can also add image called ‘avatar’ and a signature.

Posts - Any topic or reply is called a post.

Profiles - Every user has a profile, it contains - user id, date joined number of posts, date of birth, signature and other details (Email id, AIM, YIM etc.).

Banning and warning users - If any user goes beyond the rules of the forum, he/she should be banned or warned. Warning means a tag is added to the name of member, while banning means that member cant login and even cant create a new login from his/her IP address.

Pruning - Some boards are set as auto pruning, this means all dead and useless topics are deleted automatically after some time.

Bulk mail - An admin can send mail to all the users. This is called bulk mailing.

Forum skin - The overall look and feel of the forum is governed by forum skin. Admin can add new skins to any forum. Some forums offer their users ability to select any skin from a list. There is at least one skin called default.

Some valuable tips


1. Choosing topics
When creating the forum, be careful. In my opinion try to stick on one domain, instead of, putting all-in-one forum. For example if you are taking jokes as the base of your forum don’t mix cooking in it. Better you open two separate forums for that. Periodically consider to open new boards.

2. Censorship and pruning
Censorship not only helps your board to be clean and trouble free but also keeps members visiting. If your forum allows using inappropriate words, you will soon see that many members have left your forum. Make sure that your forum is viewed at - home, office, schools and other public places, keeping it clean will always attract more traffic.
Pruning is regular deletion of dead posts. Don’t use auto pruning for useful boards as they may be viewed even if there is no new replies, but it is always good to set auto pruning of chat based and test area boards.

3. Adding Moderators
Adding global moderators is one of the best loads sharing exercise for any webmaster. Moderators are normal user with some extra capabilities like - editing any post, warning any user, changing and setting user profile.

4. They never click on ad
It is usually seen that member never click on ad. This is a problem for administrator to generate money by using Ad-sense type of ad. One thing can be done - put ad on your forum on the basis of number of prints instead of number of clicks. Try to join some member exchange drive of few companies like - ebay, my space etc. where you can earn good money by making your members joining these community.

5. Once a trouble maker , always a trouble maker
If you think that a member is not following the rules of your forum take quick action. The proper way of action is usually - first warning him/her and then one can consider banning him. A rule of thumb is - Once a troublemaker, always a troublemaker. So make take quick action against such members. Even you are losing one member you can make sure other will not leave due to that troublemaker.

6. Increasing Traffic
Usually all search engines give a higher rank for any forum post. Like if you are searching for any topic and there is a forum post regarding that topic, you will see that search engine will place forum topic first in its search. With this in mind one can say that, more the topics posted more the traffic it will attract. One can also opt for advertisement drive; this will help in establishing the forum. Once we got a good number of members just stops advertisements.

Conclusion

Forum administration is an integral part of forum health. A good forum is one which achieves its goal and members found it useful. I am not in favor of strictly administrating everything, but I am in favor of friendly administrating it.

Traffic Pulling Domains29 Nov 2009 03:38 am

Would you purchase anything from someone with a “@yahoo.com” or “@hotmail.com” e-mail address? I certainly wouldn’t! For starters, people using these e-mail addresses give others the impression that they’re not taking their business seriously.

Now I understand that you don’t want your regular e-mail address in ads that you run on free ad sites to prevent spam, but let’s look at this matter constructively.

If you don’t buy anything from Yahoo! off-line, why would you buy from a Yahoo! online? If you’re serious about your business you have to show it through your actions. And the first action to take is to buy your own domain name and use it for all of your e-mails.

Let’s say you are to purchase a product from me. Will you be quicker to purchase from me and trust me if my e-mail address is “edmund@ebizmodelsyoucancopy.com” or if you read an ad from “edmund@yahoo.com?” I’m the same person, but which e-mail address makes you trust me more and believe I’m operating a legitimate business?

If you’re not ready to put up a website, create a professional presentation with your e-mails. They’re your main form of communication online and it’s the main brand people see when you communicate. Every time you send an e-mail you’re advertising. Do you realize that you’ll never make decent money online if your e-mail address ends with “@hotmail.com”?

When you come up with a name for your website or Internet Business get a .com or .biz entity, not a .net, .info or any other domain entity. Why?

When you want to send a package overnight what company do you think of first? Probably Federal Express (FedEx). This is simply because they were the first company to do overnight shipping. You can use UPS or Airborne Express or some of the other smaller companies, but FedEx is the company that gets the most business because they’ve practiced the idea of overnight shipping in the first place. On the same analogy, you need to have a .com domain because that’s where visitors will go first no matter how many new domain endings are created years and years from now.

If you have any other domain name then you’ll be setting yourself up to lose visitors to whoever has the .com domain for your name. Outside of earthlink.net how many .nets come to your mind right now? On the other hand, how many .coms can you think of?

When you hear about a cool company and want to see if they have a website, do you try their name with a .com or with a .net or .info or .tv first? If I’m a compulsive gambler, I’ll bet all my money and assets that you will try the .com first every time and you always will because it’s always going to be your first choice before any other domain entities.

So if you haven’t already, get a great domain name for your Internet Business and buy it before it gets taken. This is a small price to pay for a huge investment. If you’re not willing to invest a few dollars then you don’t have a business. If you want to be taken seriously by your prospects, take your domain name just as serious. This can mean life or death for your Internet Business in its initial stages of birth.

When back pains in your back interfere with your quality of life, getting an effective treatment or cure quickly becomes very important. When a doctor can not pinpoint the exact vertebrae which are causing the pain, regular spinal surgery isn’t the safest choice.

Traditionally these people had limited options, but now laser spinal surgery is widely available. As a matter of fact, there are quite a variety of benefits over conventional surgical procedures.

Laser back surgery is less hazardous and is suitable for patients who aren’t suitable for a traditional back surgical operation. Various other distressing symptoms associated with the spinal column, like sciatica or decreased sensation in the legs or feet can also be effectively treated by microinvasive laser surgical methods.

Regular back surgical techniques involves damaging much of the nearby delicate soft tissue. This is not the case with laser spine techniques. A wide range of surgical procedures can nowadays easily be employed through a single minute surgical cut. This leaves most of the tissue around the problem area whole and allows a briefer stay on the hospital ward and physiotherapy. Studies have shown that in comparison to regular spine operations, laser spine operations may boast an increased chance of a cure and are thus appropriate for many more individuals.

So, be sure that having minimally invasive Laser spinal surgery can ease your spinal pain without jeopardizing your long-term health.

The Arts Today24 Nov 2009 08:53 pm

The mainstream artworld has had a love/hate relationship with graffiti. On the one hand, gifted creatives such as Banksy have made graffiti an aesthetic pleasure, utilising stencils to create tricky graphics with political points attached. This sort of graffiti was likely to grow trendy with the masses and the likes of The Guardian pressroom : appealing to both eye and intellect. This form of graffiti is even purchased as graffiti prints, and hung on the walls of middle class homes and corporate meeting rooms.

Nonetheless, what of the usual kind - the tagger, the gangbanger variety - this is just seen as antisocial, a crime perpetrated by the talentless. But this is to misinterpret graffiti as strictly art. To a lot of individuals, it’s not only an artform, but a method to put your stamp on a district, or even a rejection of society altogether : anti-establishment, anti-social, even anti-art.

Graffiti has always been an undercover activity, although the results are public. The targeted market is frequently unbeknown. Is it for a rival crew? A message to an individual? To the public at large? Or….possibly it’s simply uncalled-for and out of nothing to do.

Whatever the reasons may be, there seems to be a permanent need to spray graffiti. Some cities have admitted that graffiti isn’t a short-term craze, so they’ve designated areas where graffiti is permitted - usually uninhabited areas, but from time to time busier zones like boarding that surrounds urban buildings under construction.
