net art : adwords happening Christophe Bruno, April 2002 Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2003 >>> press-book >>> Google.Art How to lose money with your art ? At the beginning of April, a debate took place on rhizome.org mailing list, about how to earn money with net art. I decided to launch a happening on the web, consisting in a poetry advertisement campaign on Google AdWords . I began with the keyword "symptom". As soon as the campaign was launched, I was able to see the results. My first satisfaction occured when somebody who had typed "hemorroid symptom" on Google arrived on my website, after having clicked on my ad. I decided to explore this new world and to launch several campaigns. How 12,000 people saw my "poems" in 24 hours and how I was censored by Google In 24 hours, I launched the following campaigns, with the keywords "symptom", "dream", "mary", "money".

The Economics of Happiness When I was 21, I told my father that I didn’t want to work with him any longer at the ice cream company he co-founded, Baskin-Robbins, and I didn’t want to depend on his financial achievements. I did not want to have a trust fund or any other access to or dependence on his money. I wanted to discover and live my own values, and I knew that I wasn’t strong enough to do that if I remained tethered, even a little, to my father’s fortune. I left Baskin-Robbins and the money my father had made selling ice cream because I didn’t want to live a life of affluence based on a product that could harm people’s health. I also recoiled at the idea of inheriting a life of privilege while so many others had to struggle for their basic livelihood. © narvikk I didn’t take the steps I did because I thought money is bad. There seem to be two schools of thought about the relationship between money and happiness: On the one hand, there are those who say money isn’t that important.
How to use the Internet to advertise ... Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in retail businesses, the majority of retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price but some retailers earn an agreed percentage of the sales in commission, paid by the wholesaler to the retailer. Procedure[edit] Some drop shipping retailers may keep "display items" on display in stores, so that customers can inspect an item similar to those that they can purchase. Retailers that drop ship merchandise from wholesalers may take measures to hide this fact to avoid any stigma, or to keep the wholesale source from becoming widely known. Small business[edit] Online auctions[edit] Many sellers on online auction sites, such as eBay, also drop ship. Custom products[edit] Developments[edit] Benefits[edit]
What is a non-dual God? | A Course in Miracles Explained We have confirmed our suspicions: It is indeed a old Caucasian man with a wizened face and a long beard in the sky, sagely presiding over the Earth. The Bible doesn’t really help either: So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. The truth is far from this. “Man made ‘God’ in his own image. Si Dieu nous a faits à son image, nous le lui avons bien rendu. This old man is not our creator, but is our creation. (For an excellent summary of the 4 main paradigms of any religious / spiritual system regarding ‘God’, please read The Four Major Attitudes of Learning in the Return to God as entailed in The Disappearance of the Universe) God as described by ACIM is a non-dualistic God, ie. completely outside of duality. The Tao that can be spoken of Is not the Everlasting Tao The name that can be named Is not the Everlasting name (Chapter 1) Oneness is simply the idea God is. Pursah: There are no differences in Heaven and no changes.

How to Help Someone Who Won’t Help Themselves “We work on ourselves in order to help others, but also we help others in order to work on ourselves.” ~Pema Chodron Recently I got into a hypothetical conversation with someone who very quickly turned hostile and accusatory. Let’s call her Jane. My first instinct was to get defensive, but then I realized this subject was quite raw for Jane, and there was likely something going on below the surface. Usually when people are combative seemingly without cause, there’s some underlying pain fueling it. As we got to the root of things, I learned that Jane was holding onto anger toward someone she once loved, and she felt a strong, driving need to convince people that this other person was wrong. Since she acknowledged that she’d been feeling depressed, lonely, and helpless, I felt obligated to at least try to help her see things from a different perspective. She was committed to being angry and hurt, and all she wanted from me was validation that she was justified. So what do we want? 1. 2. 3.
