The Jewish Donor Blog

The Jewish Donor Blog: " using, or plan to use, in prospecting. This cuts costs for acquisition since exchanges are far cheaper than rentals.
RELATIONSHIP BUILDING THROUGH RENTALS: Making your file available for rental, in addition to exchange, allows you to maintain positive relationships with core lists, even when the exchange balance gets too high(and their available list universe too low) for you to allow additional exchanges.
RENTAL INCOME: Renting your list generates extra income for your organization. We recommend keeping your fundraising rates low for your fellow nonprofits, but you can be institute more aggressive pricing for commercial entities.



Rental pricing for nonprofits in general is a solid two digit number ($85 per thousand, for example). But when settling on a rate for commercial mailers, you have a bit more room to work with. Aim to never have less than three digits ($150 per thousand is a decent number)."

Jew Speak: A Happy Moment

Jew Speak: A Happy Moment: "They concluded that it was not money, power & sex that made people happier but rather two key elements. One was keeping a gratitude journal and the other was performing acts of altruism. In other words being thankful for what we have and doing kind deeds makes a person happier. I didn't flinch when I read this. Jews have been saying this for thousands of years! Being thankful and doing kind deeds is built into the core of Judaism.

The first thing a Jew says in the morning is "modeh ani" which means "I am thankful" and one of the most admired figures of the Torah, Abraham, is famous for the kind deeds he did"

israel today | Israel eyes futuristic robot army - israel today: "As effective as Israel is at utilizing its human resources in times of conflict, the Israeli army may be on the verge of fielding the first fully robotic fighting force.
Israel's Ministry of Defense recently issued a call for the creation of an "Advance Guard," a robotic vanguard that will lead the charge in future battles in order to minimize human casualties.
The bi-monthly journal IsraelDefense reported that numerous Israeli defense contractors are working hard to meet the challenge."

Hurricane Irene and My Need for Control

Hurricane Irene and My Need for Control: "We live in New York, for goodness sake. We never have hurricanes (or earthquakes for that matter). The fact that Hurricane Irene was in the Bahamas, Florida and even North Carolina is one thing, but it’s not coming up to New York.

Then the city started to shut down. Evacuations, power outages and road closings. We are, for all intents and purposes, on lockdown as we brace for the storm.

As soon as the reality of the situation sunk in, I had this uncomfortable feeling that I couldn’t explain. There was some fear and anxiety, but that wasn’t it. And then, last night, I realized what it was.

I am not in control."

Rabbis-Notebook - Shoftim - Torah.org

Rabbis-Notebook - Shoftim - Torah.org: "Regardless of the power of a monument proclaiming G-d's singular sovereignty, Moshe told us that G-d hates "pillars," because they were standard expressions of idolatry.

I vividly recall one of my Father's congregants, a world respected art expert and restorer, who turned down a very lucrative contract to restore a church somewhere in Europe. My father Shlita pointed out that even more impressive than the congregant's acceptance of the demanded sacrifice was the manner in which he accepted the Halachik ruling. It was done without fanfare or apparent regrets."

100% Chance of an Earthquake

100% Chance of an Earthquake: "Stating that an earthquake is going to occur today is not really "predicting earthquakes". To date, they cannot be predicted. But anyone, on any day, could make this statement and it would be true. This is because several million earthquakes occur annually; thereby, thousands occur each day, although most are too small to be located. The problem, however, is in pinpointing the area where a strong shock will center and when it will occur.

Earthquake prediction is a future possibility, though. Just as the Weather Bureau now predicts hurricanes, tornadoes, and other severe storms, the NEIC may one day issue forecasts on earthquakes. Earthquake research was stepped up after the Alaska shock in 1964. "

The paper reporting their research, Memory Self-Efficacy Predicts Responsiveness to Inductive Reasoning Training in Older Adults, by Elizabeth A. L.

Secure Shell FAQ Section 1: About Secure Shell: "The SSH1 protocol is not being developed anymore, as SSH2 is being developed as the standard. Even if you are not using SSH2, many folks are establishing a path towards it. With three implementations (and growing) of SSH2 currently in the works, there is growing support (especially with the SSH2 protocol in IETF draft). However, there are arguments for and against running SSH1.

Note: If you have any additional arguments either way, I'll post them. -AC

There are structural weaknesses in SSH1 which leave it open to additional attacks
SSH1 is subject to a man-in-the-middle attack
SSH1 has more supported platforms
SSH1 supports .rhosts authentication (it's against the draft for SSH2
SSH1 has more diverse authentication support (AFS, Kerberos, etc.)
Performance for SSH2 is not equal to SSH1"

OpenSSH Alternatives for Mac OS: "recommended for interoperating with OpenSSH from Mac OS machines. Note that Mac OS X includes OpenSSH by default.
NiftyTelnet 1.1 SSH is an SSH1-only implementation which comes with a scp-style program. Written by Jonas Wallden.
"NiftyTelnet 1.1 SSH r3 is an enhanced version of Chris Newman's NiftyTelnet 1.1 application which adds support for encrypted terminal sessions using the SSH (Secure Shell) protocol. Please read the included Readme file before distributing this version."

MacSSH is an SSH2-only implementation.
"MacSSH is a modified version of BetterTelnet with SSH2 support. [...] The only SSH2 client for Mac OS that I could find is a commercial product thats costs more than $100, and it crashes my Mac when closing a session... Since it's best to do things by oneself, here's MacSSH."

Fugu is an implementation of SFTP and SCP for Mac OS X."

WinSCP :: Understanding SSH

WinSCP :: Understanding SSH: "Generally, the client will choose methods that are the least intrusive to the user, if they are available. In most cases, the client provides the option to choose which methods can be used. In WinSCP, you can configure this on Login dialog."

A Writing Revolution § SEEDMAGAZINE.COM

A Writing Revolution § SEEDMAGAZINE.COM: But does increasing authorship matter? And is this increase a blip or a signpost? Authorship has risen steeply before. The period of the first steep rise, near 1500, coincides with the discovery of the New World and Protestantism, which saw the publication of the first vernacular Bible, translated by Martin Luther. The second, near 1800, includes the Industrial Revolution and its backlash, Romanticism. The current rise is much steeper.

A Writing Revolution § SEEDMAGAZINE.COM

A Writing Revolution § SEEDMAGAZINE.COM: Soon, nearly everyone will publish. Before 1455, books were handwritten, and it took a scribe a year to produce a Bible. Today, it takes only a minute to send a tweet or update a blog. Rates of authorship are increasing by historic orders of magnitude. Nearly universal authorship, like universal literacy before it, stands to reshape society by hastening the flow of information and making individuals more influential.

To quantify our changing reading and writing habits, we plotted the number of published authors per year, since 1400, for books and more recent social media (blogs, Facebook, and Twitter). This is the first published graph of the history of authorship.

Jewish Rituals for Healing & Hard Times.

Jewish Rituals for Healing & Hard Times.: Comfort, comfort My people, nachamu nachamu ami.” (Isaiah, chapter 40, verse 1)
The prophet Isaiah offered these simple but profound words from God to the Jewish people after the Temple was destroyed and all hope seemed lost. For Isaiah, comfort existed in the belief that a better day was coming and in the certainty that good would triumph over evil. 

Literature Studies, Art, Music, & Culture | The New School Continuing Education

Literature Studies, Art, Music, & Culture | The New School Continuing Education: Jewish intellectual life has deep roots at The New School. Between the World Wars, many prominent Jewish scholars lectured at the university in the social sciences, humanities, and the arts. In 1933, The New School demonstrated its commitment to academic freedom by establishing the University in Exile to provide a safe haven for persecuted Jewish scholars including Leo Strauss and Max Wertheimer; in subsequent decades, they were joined by such luminaries as Hans Jonas and Hannah Arendt.

Chai (symbol) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chai (symbol) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Chai (Hebrew ḥai חַי "living") is a symbol and word that figures prominently in Jewish culture. It consists of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet Chet (ח) and Yod (י).
The Hebrew word ḥai חַי "living" is related to the term for "life", chaim; ḥayyim. It appears in the slogan "`am yisrael chai!" (עַם יִשְרָאֵל חַי, "The people of Israel live!").

How to Aliyah

How to Aliyah: move to the other side of the reader to make room for the next person called to the Torah. Having blessed the Torah, you are now honored with being invited to stay at the reading table for the next aliyah. At this time, or perhaps after the next aliyah, or even after all the aliyot, one of the gabbaim (the people at the reading table who assist the reader) will read a prayer called a Mi Shebeirach ("The One Who Blessed..."). If this is done while you are standing at the reading table, you will be asked for your Hebrew name, which may be given in the form: [Your name] ben/bat [your mother's name] and [your father's name]. You may use the name of only one parent if you so choose. When the next aliyah is completed, you may return to your seat. It is customary to take a longer route back to your seat than that which you took to ascend to the bima, signifying your reluctance at leaving the Torah.

What Is a Hamsa?

What Is a Hamsa?: A hamsa is an amulet shaped like a hand, with three extended fingers in the middle and a curved thumb or pinky finger on either side. It is thought to protect against the “evil eye” and is a popular motif in both Jewish and Middle Eastern jewelry.

Where Does the Hamsa Get its Name?

The name “hamsa” comes from the Hebrew word “hamesh,” which means five. “Hamsa” refers to the fact that there are five fingers on the talisman, though some also believe it represents the five books of the Torah. Sometimes it is called the Hand of Miriam, after Moses’ sister.

Chai and the number 18

Chai and the number 18: Judaism places great value on life and the word 'chai' has become symbolic of that value and the hope that goes with it.

The Hebrew word 'chai' is spelt with the Hebrew letters chet and yud. These letters are often used to form a decorative item, for example to be worn on a chain around the neck.

In Hebrew, each letter has a numeric value. The numeric value of chet is 8, and the numeric value of yud is 10; thus the numeric value of the world chai is 18. Because of this association between chai ('life') and the number, 18 has come to be seen as something of a lucky number. A common practice is for a donation to charity to be made in a multiple of $18 - for example the donation will be $18, or $36, or $90, or $180 (of course, larger multiples are also possible and sometimes given).

Character Analysis of The Seagull - The Characters of Anton Chekhov's Comedy

Character Analysis of The Seagull - The Characters of Anton Chekhov's Comedy: "orin decides that his life would make a worthy short story.

SORIN: Once upon a time in my youth I was bound and determined to become a writer – and I never became one. I was bound and determined to speak beautifully – and I spoke hideously {…} I was bound and determined to get married – and I never did. Bound and determined to live in town my whole life – and here I am, ending it all up in the country and that’s all there is to it."

Is Barter Right For Your Small Business? - Forbes

Is Barter Right For Your Small Business? - Forbes: "For example, a printer barters a brochure job for food from a local restaurant. Or a lawyer accepts personal and/or real assets from a client in barter for legal representation.

Small business should look for barter opportunities. For example, with too much inventory and too little cash, barter can be part of a survival strategy in a bad economy. Slow-turning goods become the equivalent of cash to pay for something that in a better economy would have been covered by the cash flow and profits from customer sales."

Do You Keywords Mean Something Else?

Do You Keywords Mean Something Else?: "One needs to be careful when selecting keywords to make sure that you select phrases that do not unintentionally conflict with unrelated industries.” In these days of fast-moving technology, frequent use of acronyms, and jargon proliferation, that happens more frequently than you might think."

What you can export from Facebook and how

What you can export from Facebook and how: "Facebook isn’t the most helpful when it comes to pushing information to another social networking site – in fact, it’s the least helpful. But if you want your Facebook-created data for keeps, there is an option provided on the site. Under your account settings, there’s a link prompting you to download your information. Keywords: Your information. Anything you’ve ever shared on the site will be included – and nothing more. Facebook’s policy specifically says you can’t take anything created by another user."

Why Google+ kicked out William Shatner

Why Google+ kicked out William Shatner: "Now, Google+ is taking a page out of Facebook’s…book. Just as Facebook learned from MySpace’s mistakes, the startup site is trying to rise above the noise of its rival, simplifying social networking and pulling out all the stops to keep out what have become some common pitfalls: Questionable identities, business pages (a boon for business owners, occasionally irritating for users – although they’re heading to the site), and controversial groups.

So why real names and no fake accounts? It’s not like these have necessarily damaged Twitter or Facebook – but it has made them slightly less credible (despite verified accounts"

This Week @ ripe – August 5th « ripe – blog

This Week @ ripe – August 5th « ripe – blog: "Take, for instance, a current client of ours out in California.  We’ve been working with them over the past couple of months and have developed a super-colorful, extremely fun brand.  While we usually encourage clients to stick with one or two brand colors, we decided to go out on a limb and use a half dozen or so interchangeable hues for this project.  When it came time to design their business cards, we thought it might be fun to use all of their various colors on the back and to allow people to choose which color their business card would be.  However we nearly threw that idea out before even presenting it to the client.  Printing it the right way – with spot color – would require a six color print job which is tricky, time consuming and, of course, more expensive than a traditional four color run."

Cloud-Based Endpoint Management Tools Gain Traction - ReadWriteCloud

Cloud-Based Endpoint Management Tools Gain Traction - ReadWriteCloud: "Microsoft's Intune, for example, uses a similar hybrid client/cloud approach and offers a wide spectrum of protection including anti-virus, inventory and patch management, and centralized desktop firewall and security policy management. It costs $11 per endpoint per month. And traditional anti-virus makers like Panda, McAfee, and Trend Micro all have offered similar client/cloud versions of their desktop security tools for at least a year or more.

Network access control products were the buzz of 2006-7, but since then the products have seen less press play as they turned into deployment nightmares"

Closing Angel Investors

Closing Angel Investors: "So for example, if the revenue royalty is 2% that means that every month that percentage is paid back to the investors. (These payments are made only after the company has actually received payment from its customers.They are not made on accounts receivable.) It's a hybrid instrument because it normally comes with an equity kicker. This means that once the investor has gotten back his principal plus interest, he can also hold onto a few percentage points of equity"

Angel Investors

Angel Investors: "Angel investors differ from venture capitalists in that they are investing their own hard-earned money into your company rather than that of institutional investors. They usually invest in the range of $25,000 to $250,000.

Here is some important advice if you are pursuing angel investors. Don't waste your time chasing investors more than an hour's drive from where your company is situated. Both angel and venture capital investing are face-to-face relationships. If something starts to go wrong at an investment, the investor wants to be able to reach it in no more than an hour's car commute. They do not want to have to jump aboard a plane to hold an impromptu meeting with management team"

Business Models

Business Models: "Your strategy explains what your business will do. Your business model explains how it will do it. The former is the what part; the latter is the how part.

Have you ever seen one of those movies where two businessmen agree to do a multi-million dollar deal based on a sketch drawn on the back of an envelope? If you haven't, you have probably read about such an event in a business magazine or newspaper article. Such stories are the stuff of business lore. Despite their ubiquity, the idea goes directly against what most of us are taught which is that writing a business plan is the mandatory--and unavoidable--first step in creating a business."

Demonstrate Your Values In Online Customer Communities - Forbes

Demonstrate Your Values In Online Customer Communities - Forbes: "everything you sell is a commodity, value – product, price, service – is the threshold of a customer community, but values are the foundation. Anyone can find value, but when customers like your values, they tell their friends. Indeed, the most dynamic and potentially viral element of any online community is the feeling members have about your values. But remember, that “feeling” can go either way – positive or negative.

Here are a few guidelines for establishing compelling values online that match your values offline:"

TheWritersCafe.org - Where Writers Can Share Their Ideas.: "There always seems to be some element of gloom that gets added to so many festive holidays.

With that, here is something which is recorded music, so those who feel it is not proper to listen are advised to surf on by."

What's Dragging Bank of America Down - Business - The Atlantic Wire

What's Dragging Bank of America Down - Business - The Atlantic Wire: "lot of people think the bank will have to raise capital, and any major capital raise will be massively dilutive. The bank just can't get its hands around the liabilities it's facing.'

Its purchase of Countrywide is dragging it down, write Jonathan Stempel and Joe Rauch at Reuters: 'The lawsuit may complicate Bank of America Chief Executive Brian Moynihan's efforts to contain losses from the bank's $2.5 billion purchase in July 2008 of Countrywide Financial Corp, the nation's biggest mortgage lender. That purchase, engineered by Moynihan's predecessor Kenneth Lewis, is now considered a disaster for Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America because of the costs of litigation and writing down bad loans.'"
