Recent research by the Times found advertisements (where some brands may have inadvertently contributed money to extremists) from a number of well-known companies and organizations had appeared along with the content of extremist group supporters on the YouTube video site. The Times said rape apologists, anti-Semites and hate preachers were among those receiving payments.

But his main Challenge will be in providing greater clarity to clients when it comes to deciding which videos are "ad-safe".

OPINION

I understand that news organizations put content because they need to make money from advertising so they can continue to invest in journalism. But to put disturbing ads is already very exaggerated.

Sincerely is a subject that bothers me because whenever we want to look for information or go to the Youtube everywhere there are advertising and ads. And now even more because we are in an era where globalization. The google boss should put some limits and have more watched the ads.

OPINION

By having something that is not widely available, collectors feel they are different from others. I think it all comes down to shallowness of human that we seek for approval or recognition for that we own and most of us do not use it. The fact is that there are certain percentage of people are like that. I think that the addiction of collecting and consuming shoes is bad.

THE DREAMS

In this entry I wanted to talk about a theme that affects us all: dreams. Not the wishes we want but the dreams of when we sleep.
Have you stopped to think that our dreams have meanings? What can some reality become?
So we'll talk about the types and the most common.

The dreams not only are needed for the body, it is also important for the brain. While nobody knows exactly what makes the brain work during sleep. Classify and store information, reconstruct chemicals and solves problems during sleep.

There are 4 types:

The lucid ones: Are dreams that can be controlled. It occurs when the individual is aware that it is dreaming.

The premonitory: Are visions that we have in the dreams of future events

The Nightmares: It's when the Sleep is Restless, anxious and Stubborn

The sexual: When we dream that we have sexual relations

The most common dreams: 


Fly: To dream that you are flying is the symbol of freedom. They symbolize our inspiration. To dream that you are flying like a bird, it means that you're going through bad times or tough times in your life.

To dream that you can not move or call: That means in real life you have difficulty expressing emotions or feelings.

Falling into the abyss: It means that you are losing control of your life and you have fear of failure also means that you have too many responsibilities and need to get away from them.

Dreaming that you fall teeth: Represents fear of looking ridiculous in your life or in real life and you don't get That feeling That others hear your opinion on a particular subject.

Dream chasing you: That it means you have a panic situation.
