Judaism 101: Rosh Hashanah: "one important similarity between the Jewish New Year and the American one: Many Americans use the New Year as a time to plan a better life, making "resolutions." Likewise, the Jewish New Year is a time to begin introspection, looking back at the mistakes of the past year and planning the changes to make in the new year. More on this concept at Days of Awe.
The name "Rosh Hashanah" is not used in the Bible to discuss this holiday. The Bible refers to the holiday as Yom Ha-Zikkaron (the day of remembrance) or Yom Teruah (the day of the sounding of the shofar). The holiday is instituted in Leviticus 23:24-25."

Foundation Stone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "a midrashic narrative of the more important events of the Pentateuch believed to have been compiled in Italy shortly after 833 CE, writes: “Rabbi Yishmael said: In the future, the sons of Ishmael (the Arabs) will do fifteen things in the Land of Israel … They will fence in the breaches of the walls of the Temple and construct a building on the site of the sanctuary”.
Religious Jewish scholars have discussed the precise location of the rock."

450 pound Black Marlin eaten by shark - YouTube
450 pound Black Marlin eaten by shark - YouTube: "Barry Cross (skip) estimated it to be around 450lbs, so thats what i go with even though i might agree with some that its closer to 350 than 450. For a reference, at the end of the video when i'm holding the head, i'm 6'4'. It might also be helpful to know that the boat is 65ft long and has a beam (width) of 17.5ft."

Here is a hot tip for WordPress Plug-ins.
Take the time to read the description for each and every plugin you are interested in using on your WordPress site. If you do not understand what the plug-in does, I would like to suggest not installing it.
Perhaps it is already even installed that maybe consider deactivating it. If you just gotta have it (even though you may not thoroughly understand what it does), then consider installing and not activating until you learn what it does.
I read the description of the plug-in below and simply did not have a perfect understanding of how it operates.

Aharon Moshe Sanders (99): "the mind is an incredible filter it is continually altering 'our true' reality. The thing I am just beginning to realize is-'whatever current paradigm your brain has taken hold of'- is going to be applied to just about everything and everything in your own tiny little 'brain defined' world. That's why one needs to remember to check in with real people and ask questions, and never forget to ask for what you need."
