Bible Commentary at its best

A dear friend of mine Dr.Nalamothu Krishna had started a blog just on Bible commentary. In the beginning he would write the posts himself, insert adsense and what do you know, his blog started getting visitors and clicks. He is a very smart fellow this Doctor Nalamothu. He is a genuine practicing doctor in South India but could not put up with the beaurocrats in his line. He just asked  them to get lost and turned to the internet for an extra source of income. His dad is a well to do landlord. Today his blog has more contributors and is receiving more and more visitors and clicks. I have gone through some of the posts and they sound very interesting reading. All about the Bible I did not know is slowly being revealed to me. God bless Nalamothu Krishna!

His Bible blog can be found at  http://www.biblecommentary.in/

Google opens AdSense to ad networks

With Google working to add revenue for its AdSense members, it has decided to open up its system to ad networks.
According to the Inside AdSense blog, members will have the ability to allow multiple Google-certified ad networks to compete for display ad space on their sites. With this change, ad networks can also bid in Google’s auction to appear on AdSense sites. This new capability will help members generate the most profit for every ad that appears on their sites, whether the ads come from AdWords advertisers or Google-certified ad networks.
Google will be certifying all participating ad networks for adherence to its standards for user privacy, ad quality, and speed, and members will have control over which networks can show ads on their pages. The company says it will be slowly begin allowing ads from Google-certified ad networks to appear on AdSense pages over the coming months, so members won’t see an immediate impact on ads or earnings.

Facebook hits 500 Million Users !

Today Facebook announced that it now has over 500 million registered users, an increase of some 100 million in the last five months, and of 400 million in the last two years. Mark Zuckerberg has already told us that it is "almost guaranteed" that the site will eventually reach a billion users, but with no indication of when he thinks that might happen.
Facebook has managed to ride out the storm of the recent privacy controversy, and it has almost become accepted wisdom that users have little expectation of privacy so one has to admire their approach of pushing the envelope of what is acceptable and then pulling back by a fraction. Take a mile and give an inch is working for Facebook, and no mistake.
So what lessons should we take from this announcement? We would suggest three key takeaways:
* the easy growth in Facebook's English-speaking audience has probably peaked;
* the test for Facebook moving forward will increasingly be to achieve the same levels of penetration into emerging markets such as China, Brazil and India.
* online marketers with international brands need to develop multi-lingual social media capabilities if they are not to see market share eroded over time.

Interesting picnic locations

Are you interested in having a picnic adventure?  If you are, you are definitely not alone.  In the United States and all around the world for that matter, a large number of individuals, families, and couples love hosting or attending picnics.  One of the many reasons for that is because picnics don’t just involve eating, they also involve socializing with friends or family, as well as playing outdoor games and sports.If you are in interesting in hosting a picnic, you may be wondering what your options are, in terms of location.  If you are, you will want to continue reading on. Below, a few of the many places that are great for picnics are outlined below. 

Perhaps, the best place for a picnic is at a park. When it comes to parks, you will find that you have a number of different options.  No matter where you live, you should have access to a number of nearby parks, parks that many include public parks, campground parks, or state parks.  Most parks have areas that are ideal for picnics. These areas often include shade from trees, picnic tables, and nearby fun activities, like a pool or body of water for swimming or fishing.

Speaking of a body of water, you may also want to think about having your next picnic, should you choose to have one, near a body of water, such as a lake. As previously stated, it is possible to find public parks that are located near lakes; however, you may also be able to find public land that is ideal for picnicking. These areas may not necessarily have playgrounds for children or public restrooms, but they may provide you with a little bit seclusion, as well as an absolutely beautiful view.

Speaking of seclusion, if you are looking to have your picnic double as a romantic date, you may be looking for privacy.  One of the many ways that you can find privacy is in a wooded area.  This is best if you are already visiting a state park, public park, or campground park.  You can also use wooden areas around your home, namely ones that you may be familiar with.  As nice as having a picnic on a blanket in the forest may sound, it is important that you use your best judgment when taking this approach.

As great as it is to go camping in a beautiful location, a secluded location, or one that gives you access to a number of other fun outdoor activities, like swimming or boating, you may be looking to stay at little bit closer to home.  If that is the case, you can have your picnic right in your own backyard!  This is ideal if you are looking to have a picnic with your family, namely small children. Doing a few “practice,” picnics at home may help to prepare your young children for the real thing later on.

Although not as glamorous as the above mentioned picnic locations, you can also have a picnic right inside your home. This is best if you had a small picnic planned, but the weather took a turn for the worse and you are unable to have your outdoor picnic.  Laying a blanket down in a family room may provide you with enough space to have the picnic of your dreams, just indoors. This is particularly ideal if your picnic was intended to be a romantic date for you and your partner.

The above mentioned locations are just a few of the many places that you may be able to hold a picnic. When deciding where you would like your next picnic to occur, it is important that you place a focus on the size of your picnic, like how many people you plan on inviting. Doing so will enable you to choose a location that will allow you and all of your guests to have a great time.

Learn All About Hemorrhoids Here

Hemorrhoids are generally enlarged or inflamed blood vessels in the posterior rectal region. The most usual symptoms of hemorrhoids are rectal bleeding, blistering, pain and itchiness.

Hemorrhoids can be internal (situated inside the posterior lower rectum) or external (beneath the skin around the anus). These two kinds of hemorrhoids may occur at the same time.

Some common symptoms of hemorrhoids are the following:

1. Rectal bleeding
2. Irritation
3. Bulging out of the skin (a hemorrhoid) from the rectum
4. Leakage of stool

Usually, rectal bleeding does not impose pain, all throughout the bowel movement. This is a very common symptom of hemorrhoids. After the bowel movement, you may observe that there are bright red blood smudges on the feces or in the toilet paper after cleaning the anus. The quantity of blood is fairly small. However, even a little amount of blood can cause the toilet water to look like vivid red and can be alarming to the person.

Less commonly, bleeding may be serious. In very rare cases, critical blood loss from rectal bleeding may result to anemia, causing weakness, exhaustion, or other related warning signs.

Without a clinical diagnosis, it is very unlikely to discover the real origin of the rectal bleeding. So, everyone with this symptom should undergo a medical exam performed by a doctor or at least a licensed medical practitioner.

Hemorrhoids can cause irritation and itching of the affected skin around the anal area. Itching can be a result of a mixture of various factors, such as the following:

1. Internal hemorrhoids can permit leakage of stool that can be itchy and irritating to the skin in the rectal area.

2. Over cleaning may irritate the skin in the rectal region.

3. Individuals with external hemorrhoids can develop minimal protrusion of the skin, commonly known as skin tags. These can often be not easy to keep clean, causing itchiness.

4. Inflammation of hemorrhoids can cause itchiness and inflammation.

On the other hand, pain may develop in persons who have thrombosis or coagulated blood within the hemorrhoid. This can happen within either external or internal hemorrhoids. Clotted external hemorrhoids are of color plum bulge. When the skin around the rectal area becomes swollen, severe pain can be experienced.

Coagulated internal hemorrhoids may also cause pain, even though commonly less extreme. Hardly ever, if the blood circulation to an internal hemorrhoid is reduced, the hemorrhoid can become asphyxiated. Asphyxiation can result to severe pain, and the lessened blood flow can cause gangrene, wherein the affected skin is dead. This can be a fatal complication and needs urgent surgical treatment.

Hemorrhoids are more likely to form in individuals who are:

1. Strain to pass bowel movements

2. Have critical constipation, diarrhea or stomach ache.

3. Have the habit or routine of prolonged sitting or standing

4. Older

5. Pregnant

6. Have a pelvic tumor

To determine the real cause of hemorrhoids, your doctor or clinician will test your rectum and anus, and may insert a gloved tube or finger into the anus.
