Powerpoint Presentations
The new Microsoft Office 2010 Beta offers terrific features and effects to change, manipulate and give digital images a more personal, artistic or compelling look while presenting it in an attractive and professional format. Ideally, sound or a narration are added, even video… however, in terms of mere presentations to showcase a product or a service or anything of educational or informational value one should never forget that a powerpoint presentation is a means to an end or rather a tool: nothing can replace the presenter, the voice, the personality behind it all. . . that’s what drives it, what gives it its soul and makes a presentation compelling, persuasive and memorable.
While good quality pictures always pull, the text should be minimal. Here as with everything in web design and artistic expression it’s about finding and developing one’s own style.
But before we get there, it’s important to familiarize ourselves with the various features and learn the techniques. Once we know what’s possible we can let our imagination flow and add to it what it needs to express what we want to say and how we want to say it.
Like anyone else when getting a new program, I have been playing and experimenting with the “Classic Photo Album” feature using digital pictures I took on Noordhoek beach over the past few months. In fact, this is the very first exercise I did and I am looking forward to doing some more using sound and music.
Web Design Consulting
Compelling PowerPoint Presentations for business and individual purposes will be offered in WP Best eShop and we are looking forward to discuss with you your needs at Web Design Consulting.
We will soon be back with more . . . given we’re not grilled, cooked and fried in this incredible heatwave before!

Judaica Art
I have a personal friend that I have known for years who designs and creates exquisite Judaica Art items, from silver, gold, and precious stones. They are breathtaking, real collector’s items. In this post I will show you a Kiddush Cup for Shabbos. First take a look, then I will describe it. For a full size picture click the picture.
Kiddush Cup
Kiddush Cup with its Plate
Everything that you see is personally hand made by the artist. This is a Judaica – Shabbos Kiddush Cup with its plate. On the plate is engraved the Lechem HaPanim (the “Showbread”) as it stood in the Holy Temple. The side of the Kiddush Cup is engraved with a picture of the Shabbos table. Note that the entire Kiddush is engraved around and under the top edge of the Kiddush Cup, 400 letters.
This Judaica piece is just beautiful, makes your heart beat fast just to look at it. It might not be an exaggeration to say that if Betzalel were alive today, that this artist would be in the first row of his assistants.
If you would be interested in considering purchasing this item I can arrange a meeting between the two of you. Please leave a comment here (which will not be published) with your contact details, preferably your phone number, and what language you prefer, English, Hebrew, or Yiddish.

The Nine Days
Mourning for the Bais HaMikdash
My Father Really Let Me Have It
It was many years ago that my father gave me such a stinging and ringing slap and threw me out of the house. I’ll never forget the pain, and I can still hear the ringing in my ears. I was shocked at the time, I thought that he loved me, I thought that we were buddies. The years have gone by and now I am a father, and I understand now that it was not an act of hatred, it was an act of love. He does love me, and we are buddies, but he’s dead serious that I behave myself and not get out of hand.
Last year on Shabbos Chazon, at Shalosh Seudos, I heard a beautiful idea from the Rav who hosted the event:
During these days Nishmas Yisroel rises up in importance and beauty. The gemora recounts that one of the great Talmudic sages, Rebbe Eliezer Ze’ira, one day started putting on black shoes. They asked him why was he wearing black shoes? He answered in order to mourn over Yerushalayim. They answered back, who are you to do extra to mourn for Yerushalayim? And they threw him in jail.
To put yourself forward and mourn for someone, or something, demands that there exists a certain level of relationship, otherwise it is odd. Who can mourn for Yerushalayim? Are you a mechutan with Yerushalayim?
The Rav told the story that when he went to pay a shiva call at the home of one of the late great sages, that he was moved to say to one of the younger sons, “I see that until today I lacked a certain appreciation of you that I didn’t internalize before. The passing of your father was a blow to the whole Jewish people. Everyone is broken, everyone is mourning. Then why am I sitting on this side and you are sitting on that side? Why am I coming to comfort you, and you are not coming to comfort me? The answer is because you are a son of R. Shlomo Zalman and I am not. That is what separates us. That is your greatness that I do not share.”
When a Neshama leaves the world to its eternal home in Heaven, who mourns, who sits shiva? Only the seven closest relatives — the children, the parents, the siblings, the spouse. When the revelation of the Shechina departs from the world, who mourns, who sits shiva, so to speak? We do, on Tisha B’av. These are the days that the Nishmas Yisroel rises up in importance and beauty, as the close ones, as the children so to speak, of the Shechina. Banim Atem LaShem Elokaichem.
May we be amongst those who will see with their own two eyes the nechamas Tzion and the haramas keren Yisroel.

Jun 19, 2009
During these days I am relaunching my hosting company, BRap Hosting. I say “relaunch”, because indeed about a year ago I launched the business with a different structure, not far from a simple hosting reseller plan, but I quickly discovered a major problem in that too much power was in the hands of one person, (not me), and that if and when he would choose to be an @$$-&*##, he can essentially bring down my whole business. Not smart. So I disappeared sort of, and then restructured the business in a different format, and now, well, let’s go!!!
There are three main divisions in BRap Hosting. First and foremost are the hosting packages. BRap Hosting is resolved to maximize customer benefit by supplying him with the best of both worlds — cheap website hosting without compromising excellent customer service. I work with several data centers, all of whom feature 99.99% uptime, but more important to me is the “percieved uptime”, that is, how the end user feels server response. There are many reasons why the user may get time out errors even though the server is technically up. For example, when Henry hogs system resources (before he gets caught), Sam will feel that the server is not responding, even though it is “up”. Anyway, I work with data centers that besides promises and guarantees, in practice the customer has a good experience.
I lowered my prices in order to provide the customer with cheap website hosting, as I am targeting households and small businesses, who don’t have extra money just to throw away. On the other hand, through my background in computer programming, and in education, coupled with my refined character traits and aspiration to be good and to do good for others, my customers position themselves to have above average customer service from a staff which has ears that hear, and a heart with empathy. I still remember not long ago when I was a newbie to internet use, so I understand what it means to be new, yet my understanding and experience are deep, and my ability to explain is well above average.
Since I work with several data centers I have the flexibility to offer two different hosting packages, to fit the customer with a framework which most corresponds to his needs. Additionally, I have the option to easily resolve something which is uncommon, yet does happen, that in retrospect the chosen data center does not correspond with the customers true needs, to move him over to more appropriate framework with a minimum of disruption.
I am offering a reduced rate through Sunday evening GMT, as a way to get acquainted with the company. See the link here:
http://braphosting.net/launchsale.html
The two other divisions, so to speak, are two blockbuster products which are in production. One of them, pre-hosted niche sites, is sort of finished, just undergoing upgrading for added quality and customer value. The other product you can see on the site, that one is not almost finished.
Additionally, in the “Other Products” department, BRap Hosting offers discounted prices on high quality products which are appropriate for someone with a hosted domain.
I will talk about these products more in later posts.
