Best Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Girlfriend 2021 – Contrary to the popular myths, buying gifts for women doesn't have to be a mystery that you can't answer. Whether you're in a new relationship or you've been with your girlfriend for a while, picking up the perfect gift is easy, especially if you shop online where you can see a lot of options at once.
Since every woman is different, just watch what she does in her daily life and you'll have your answer when you're wondering what to get for her. If she's really into fitness and healthy living, then picking up a juicer is a good idea. You can get the big machines that can make a lot of juice at once.
Appliances can sometimes be insulting if you get her a vacuum, for example, but if you know she needs something or really wants something unique, like an espresso machine for example, then it's okay to indulge her wishes on Christmas day!
If she has hobbies like sewing or beading, check out all of the craft options you can pick up. There are some name brand free arm sewing machines that will make sewing a breeze. Jewelry making tools are for the woman who likes to be creative and along with the tools, there are beautiful glass beads she'll love. She can even sell her creations on sites like Etsy or eBay!
If your girlfriend prefers her jewelry readymade, check out all of the options available there – like necklaces, bracelets, or rings. These can be friendship rings, promise rings or specialty rings featuring flowers, dolphins, hearts and more. Birthstone jewelry is a great option, too. Depending on how far you want to go, there's a variety of diamond jewelry available to melt her heart.
Women love a dependable cell phone, especially one that has all of the bells and whistles. You can pick up a smart phone with a slide out keypad that has Wi-Fi. These great phones can also double as an MP3 or MP4 player – plus the built in cameras take fantastic photos and videos. Grab a cell phone cover for her while you're at it. With flowers, animal skin and bright neon colors, you'll find something she loves.
If you know she wants clothes, then you have two options you can pursue. Check her labels to see what size she wears so that you don't accidentally get something too large or too small – or just buy her a gift certificate to the store of her choice and promise you'll take her shopping and to lunch one day!
Knowing your girlfriend's favorite genre in television or movies can help you pick out some of the DVD seasons of the television shows she loves. If she's into several different genres of movies, you can pick out a few of them, because they're sold at great prices. Not only that but if she's a movie buff, you can get movie theater gift cards to stuff into her stocking so that she can go see the latest blockbuster hits.

Everyone on the East coast is talking about the winter that wasn't. Ski season was a bust; as early as January, some stores began having "Global Warming Sales" on snow gear. But never mind winter. Now we may be skipping spring. So far, 2,200 temperature records have been shattered around the country.
Climate scientists who have been predicting the dangerous consequences of rising greenhouse gas pollution may as well go ahead and say it: We told you so. What we're experiencing now isn't a new normal. This is the end of normal. Human-generated greenhouse gas pollution (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and three groups of fluorinated gases: sufure hexafluoride, HFCs, and PFCs) has thrown the natural atmospheric balance out of whack. Our gorgeous planetary system of natural sources of carbon dioxide absorbed by natural sinks, like photosynthesis and marine plankton, has been disrupted; we're putting out more pollution than the earth can absorb.
(MORE: Browning: The Countdown to Clean Air Begins)
We indulge ourselves in a consoling fiction that New York will simply become like…Atlanta. Would that climate change were so simple. The Upper Midwest has reached midsummer levels, in mid-March. The Twin Cities have seen record highs in 8 of the last 10 days in the Twin Cities. Four of Chicago's five warmest March days just recently occurred; the mind-boggling thing isn't just a day of heat, but heat waves that stretch across many days. And, as Heidi Cullen, a scientist at Climate Central, explained, that warm weather "set the stage for severe thunderstorms that spawned rare, damaging tornadoes near Detroit."
We have achieved Global Weirding.
Gardeners have been remarking on the arrival of plants as much as three weeks ahead of schedule. Many of us raking and pruning are operating on two tracks: one is sheer pleasure at being able to garden all day long—in shirt sleeves, in Rhode Island, in mid-March! But another part of us is muttering anxiously. There's a disconnect between the arrival of pollinators and the blooming of plants. There's a danger of late, killing frosts—after the blooming cycle has begun, destroying crops and fruit trees. And there's another nagging worry. Never mind spring, even. What does this heat wave portend for summer?
But it's not just uncomfortable heat we have to face but risks on human health. Let's start with the pest problem. Bugs that normally die during winter—such as the ticks that carry Lyme disease—made it through easily this year, as they have for a while now. This year is part of a longer trend. The rate of Lyme disease in New Hampshire is about eight times what it was ten years ago, and Lyme disease is moving into Canada. Dengue fever—"break-bone fever"— has appeared in Florida, courtesy of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which is also bringing in yellow fever. With global warming, the mosquito has expanded its range.

Severe and prolonged heat isn't good for our lungs. Greenhouse gas pollution increases air pollution like smog. That worsens conditions like bronchitis, emphysema, and congestion. Smog is especially dangerous for children who have asthma, and it is associated with pneumonia and other respiratory infections that can be life threatening. The elderly are especially vulnerable to the ravages of heat waves.
And ragweed! The bane of American allergy sufferers. Bad news there. These long warm spells mean longer allergy seasons—millions of people will have a lot of trouble breathing. Pollen counts generally have been increasing markedly in recent decades; cities in Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Minnesota saw their pollen seasons grow by 11, 12, and 16 days. For that matter, warmer global temperatures are a gift to all invasive species. And most of them are not going to be welcome guests—for good reason. Plants like poison ivy thrive on higher CO2 concentrations.
What is most appalling about this situation is that we know how to fix the problem. But in spite of many polls showing that Americans support a fight against global warming, don't hold your breath for leadership from Washington, D.C. on greenhouse gas regulations. Most Democrats, much less Republicans, seem reluctant to generate controversial regulations restricting carbon emissions now. It will be a huge victory for President Obama' s administration to give safe passage to its strong new Mercury and Air Toxics Standards—and that rule will go a long way towards cutting carbon pollution. But right now, the president is sweating out his own warming cycle: election season.

Cleaning your gutters is one of the most important projects on the to-do list yet it's too often overlooked. Unfortunately, many of us wait until late into the fall season when the very last leaf falls before we decide to get it done. This delay exposes our homes to potential damage. Plus, it makes the job a lot more difficult to do.
If you do it a couple of times a year, in the fall and spring, cleaning gutters is easy. Just once, or not at all, and it can become back breaking work and cost you thousands of dollars worth of trouble down the road.
The problem with clogged gutters is more than just those annoying waterfalls that pour off the roof on rainy days, or the pretty icicles that hang around in the winter. This excess water wreaks havoc on the integrity of your home's structure. The gutter system of a house is designed to move water down from the roof and away from the home and it's foundation for proper drainage. Water that gets dammed up in the gutters finds the path of least resistance when it tries to drain and this often means it works right into the walls and ceilings of your house.
The first and most obvious issue with gutters filled to the brim with leaves, twigs, and other debris is simply a weight problem. When that debris gets wet it absorbs the rain water like a sponge and becomes extremely heavy. This burden puts stress on the gutters and their hanging brackets, and can pull the gutters off the house. Falling gutters are costly enough to replace on their own, not to mention any lights or windows they smash as they come crashing down.
Overflowing water from the gutters can also damage the paint and siding on a home, but unsightly water marks down the side of the house pale in comparison with what happens if the water get inside of a wall. Wet wood rots and loses its integrity, and this can go unseen behind the siding until it is too late.
Ice-damming is another major issue with clogged gutters. Blocked water can freeze when it backs up in the gutters, pushing up against the roof structure and working its way under the shingles destroying the wood, causing even more leaks.
Even flooded basements and cracking foundations are other symptoms of clogged gutters. If water isn't drained away from the house and it pools around the foundation it will expand when frozen and cause cracks which lead to floods in your basement or crawl space.
So what will you need to get the job done? You only need a few things and they depend on the method you choose. Many different tricks and techniques have been developed by home improvement magazines, experts, and handymen alike but the main concept is simple, just get on the ladder and pull the junk out of the gutters.
You'll need; a ladder, gloves, a container to gather the debris such as a bag or bucket, a garden trowel or small hand rake, and the hose.
Begin by setting the ladder an arms length away from a corner downspout, and tuck a few garbage bags in your back pocket so you can easily pull them out. Some people prefer to use a bucket and bucket hanger for the ladder, but it is much easier to use those little plastic shopping bags. A full bucket or big garbage bag can get pretty heavy and make the job tougher than a high wire act.
Hold your garden trowel or rake in your hand and begin your ascent. You never want to put sharp objects in your pocket when you are climbing a ladder, as they can harpoon you if you fall. Use the tool to pull the debris away from the down spout, being careful not to let any junk fall into the opening, which can create a clog. Take one handful at a time and fill up the bags, tying and dropping them to the ground as you go. Drop the bags away from the bottom of the ladder so they don't get in your way when you need to dismount.
Move the ladder and repeat. Never reach further than an arms length away from the ladder and be sure to get the dirt on the bottom of the gutter. A majority of it is from the asphalt shingles that run off into the gutter. This stuff gets very heavy when wet so don't leave it in there.
If you are afraid of heights or worry about dealing with the bags in such a precarious situation, simply grab handfuls from the gutters and drop it onto a clear spot on the ground. This is a very messy method, but you can rake up the debris later, safely and easily. Some guys drop the material down onto a tarp and shake it into a garbage can later.
Once you clean an entire length, grab the hose and spray down the gutter and into the down spouts to get all the small pieces you missed. If there are clogs that the hose can't clear, you can use a plumbers snake to clear them out. This is also a good point to see if your gutters leak at any corners or joining pieces. If they do, you can purchase a silicone sealant and very easily make the fix. Remember that water finds the path of least resistance, and that path us usually into the walls of your house, so a leaky gutter can be just as bad as a clogged one.
If you are ambitious, you can scrub down the outside of the gutters or touch up any spots with paint to keep your house looking its best.
Still hesitant on doing this yourself? Consider using a roofing or siding contractor, or even handy man, but get three estimates and don't always go for the cheapest one. The guy with the 1970's pick up truck with rock bottom prices could possibly do a great job, but may not have any insurance. Whom ever you choose, be sure they are insured. If someone takes a dive off the ladder and breaks every bone in his body and is not covered by his own workman's comp you, the homeowner, are liable. It's a lot easier to ask him for a copy of his up-to-date insurance papers than it is to make a claim on your homeowner's insurance policy, assuming it even covers such accidents.
One way or another, pushing this chore to the bottom of the to-do list could end up being a very costly mistake. If you get up there regularly it can be a breeze and you'll prevent the Hoover dam from forming in your gutters.

One of the most important cases the US Supreme Court will consider this term is Hobby Lobby's lawsuit challenging the Obamacare mandate that employer-provided health care plans must cover abortion and contraceptives. Hobby Lobby, a corporation owned and managed by a traditional Christian family, argues that the mandate violates their First Amendment rights.
Much of the discussion has focused on whether a corporation such as Hobby Lobby can even have First Amendment rights. But the issue of "corporate personhood" is a smokescreen. Hobby Lobby's corporate status has no bearing on whether under Obamacare, Hobby Lobby's owners, about whose personhood there is no doubt, have a right to run their business in a manner consistent with their moral beliefs. If the form by which Hobby Lobby did business was relevant to its right to operate free of federal interference, then Hobby Lobby could avoid the Obamacare mandate by simply reorganizing itself as a partnership or sole proprietorship.
Some Obamacare supporters cast this case as a conflict between Hobby Lobby's First Amendment rights and the rights of its employees to contraception and abortion. Hobby Lobby is not trying to stop its employees from obtaining contraceptives and abortions; it is simply asking that the government not force it to pay for them.
Forcing Hobby Lobby to pay for abortion services is especially offensive because Hobby Lobby's owners consider abortion a form of murder. Those who, like me, agree that abortion is an act of violence against an innocent person will side with Hobby Lobby. However, this case is not about the legality of abortion. It is about whether someone can have a "right" to force someone else to provide him with a good or service. Therefore, even those who support legal abortion should at least support a business's right to choose to not subsidize it.
Supporters of the mandate claim Congress has the power to create rights to privately-provided goods and services. They also say that Congress has the power to legislatively override the rights of religious liberty, property and contract. It is fair to ask what is the source of Congress's power to create new rights. It certainly does not originate in the Declaration of Independence, which expressly denies that rights come from the government, or from the United Stares Constitution, which nowhere granted government the power to redistribute or create artificial rights.
The principle that Government can force businesses to violate their religious principle even if those principles conflict with civil law could be applied in ways some Obamacare supporters may find objectionable. For example, what if the government argued that the Pentagon's need for some products produced by a Quaker-owned business trumped the Quaker owner's objections to war?
The hypothetical example above shows just how radical and dangerous are arguments in support of the Obamacare abortion and contraception mandate. If Hobby Lobby loses, the US Supreme Court will have endorsed the idea that the federal government can force individuals to violate their most sacred religious principles to satisfy any government demands. The central question of the Hobby Lobby case, then, is whether religious liberty will continue to be meaningful in this country. For what good is a religious liberty that protects your rights to attend a worship service, but allows the government to force you to live in opposition to the values preached at those services? This is why all supporters of liberty and limited government – regardless of their views on the morality of contraception – should be on the side of Hobby Lobby.

Who doesn't like a good holiday celebration? I know I do.
I often get questions in the contact center regarding different holidays.
- Does my child celebrate such and such a holiday?
- What are some holidays that are special to my child?
- To be sensitive to my child's culture and customs, are there things I shouldn't talk about?
- Should I only mention the tradition behind the celebration or can I also talk about the specific festivities?
The U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving is a good example. We are celebrating hospitality, God's goodness, and how the kindness of strangers helped save a whole community.
It's a great holiday and time with family, but how do we recognize it? Most of us over-eat, sit around watching football, and battle with strangers for parking spots and places in lines to buy stuff — which is hardly hospitable. And these customs would be difficult for a child in poverty to understand.
What about other holidays? Do you take your children trick-or-treating at Halloween? Do you hide eggs and eat Peeps at Easter?
Do you buy fireworks and light them up on Independence Day? These holidays are part of our culture and the way we celebrate is hard to avoid talking about.
So what do we tell our sponsored kids, Brett?
Be sensitive to their culture and customs.
For example, yoga is predominantly a form of exercise here in the U.S., and many Americans now practice it without any spiritual implications. However, yoga is still very much a Hindu practice in Asia, and thus it would have a negative implication to people who know about yoga's Hindu roots.
Halloween is a time to take our kids out and get free candy from generous neighbors, but in Latin American countries the spiritual association is prominent. It's associated with the Day of the Dead and is often celebrated with altars built to dead relatives — something the evangelical Christian community stays away from.
Then should I not tell my sponsored child about holiday celebrations?
Talk about the time you spend with your family. You can share your life with the children you sponsor. Be honest and open, but be sensitive.
You can also rely on our great staff members working in each of our country offices to be sure all communication delivered to the children is culturally acceptable and appropriate.
Finally, if you are unsure if something you are going to send or something you are going to write should be included, ask us.

Bursitis is a painful inflammation of a bursa, one of the small sacs at the joints that cushion the tendons, muscles and bones. Bursae normally enable fluid movement, but when overtaxed they can inflame and fill with fluid. Once a bursa becomes irritated, gritty and rough, it can create painful friction in the joint. Bursitis usually results either from repetitive stress or sudden injury and presents with swelling, redness and deep, aching pain. The joints most commonly affected by bursitis are the shoulder, elbow, hip and knee.
Risk Factors for Bursitis
Bursitis may result from overuse of a joint during work or play. Aging increases the risk of developing bursitis because as the tendons become less elastic they are more likely to tear. Individuals who work at occupations or engage in activities in which they put repeated pressure on certain joints are potential candidates for the ailment. This includes people who regularly:
- Plant or rake
- Shovel
- Paint houses
- Do carpentry
- Scrub floors
- Lay tiles
- Play golf or tennis
- Pitch baseballs
Other risk factors for bursitis include:
- Medical conditions that causes inflammation, such as arthritis
- Anatomical abnormalities that put unusual stress on a joint
- Certain infections
- Obesity
- Incorrect posture
- Inadequate stretching before exercise
- Reactions to particular medications
Treatment of Bursitis
Usually bursitis responds to simple remedies, although the inflammation may take a week or many weeks to subside. Patients should see their physicians to rule out more serious injuries. They are typically advised to rest the injured region, avoid activities that intensify discomfort, ice the area, and take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications. Sometimes stronger oral medications are prescribed to reduce inflammation and sometimes corticosteroid injections are administered. Physical therapy is often recommended to increase range of motion as healing takes place. Only in rare cases is surgery necessary to treat bursitis.
The bursae at the elbow and knee are located more superficially many others, and so are more prone not only to inflammation, as in "housemaid's knee," but also to puncture wounds that can lead to infection. Infection of a bursa is called septic bursitis and must be treated with antibiotics.

Updated August 24, 2021 at 5:27 PM ET
The House of Representatives narrowly approved a budget resolution that provides the framework for a $3.5 trillion spending deal following an impasse between House leaders and centrist Democrats that threatened to derail progress on the vast majority of President Biden's domestic agenda.
Tuesday's vote was 220-212 along party lines.
House leaders used a procedural workaround to avoid a lengthy battle and a separate vote on the budget resolution itself, but the rift between Democrats over how far Congress should go in reshaping the role of the federal government is still unresolved.
At odds were a group of moderates who wanted to vote now on a Senate-passed, bipartisan infrastructure bill instead of following through with a two-track strategy, whereby infrastructure and the broader spending bill would advance in tandem.
Party leaders say they hope to finish work on a spending bill by Oct. 1, leaving just weeks to address serious concerns among centrists over the cost of Biden's spending plans.
Democrats are attempting to move forward with this spending legislation without the support of any Republicans — a plan that gives leaders little room for error.
Pelosi insisted two domestic bills should be tied together
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., pursued a strategy of tying the fate of a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill to the broader spending plan full of Democratic priorities. She has repeatedly insisted the House would not vote on the infrastructure bill until the Senate passes the larger spending package. Progressives worry advancing a vote on infrastructure could lose much-needed momentum for the broader budget.
After hours of late-night talks Monday, Democratic leaders offered a compromise to the centrists who called for a vote on the infrastructure bill. Pelosi agreed to add the budget vote into a procedural measure and add a provision specifying that the House would vote on the infrastructure bill by Sept. 27.
The procedural vote also set up debate and a vote on a voting rights bill for later Tuesday.
"Passing an infrastructure bill is always exciting for what it means in terms of jobs and commerce in our country," Pelosi said in a statement Tuesday afternoon announcing her commitment to the Sept. 27 deadline. "We must keep the 51-vote privilege by passing the budget and work with House and Senate Democrats to reach agreement in order for the House to vote on a Build Back Better Act that will pass the Senate."
Each of the moderate lawmakers who had demanded an early vote on infrastructure ultimately fell into step with Pelosi and voted for the measure. While they got a commitment on a date certain on the bipartisan bill, they did not extract any assurances on the size or substance of the policies in the broader bill.
Pelosi and other leaders have insisted that the only way to make good on promises to address climate change and provide support to workers and families is to tie the two bills together.
"I know we will succeed because of the confidence I have in the shared values of all in our Caucus for America's working families," Pelosi told Democrats in a letter sent Monday as negotiations dragged on between the two camps. "The success of each bill contributes to the success of the other."
As leaders worked to find the votes for the compromise, Pelosi told reporters Tuesday morning, "When we bring up the bill, we will have the votes."
The House adopted the same budget resolution that was approved this month in the Senate. Democrats plan to use a feature of the budget process, known as reconciliation, to avoid a Republican filibuster in the Senate. But there is little agreement on what should be included once a budget is passed.
Some moderate Democrats argued infrastructure investments can't wait
A group of nine centrist Democrats, led by Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., had released statements demanding an immediate vote on the Senate-passed infrastructure bill.
"We have the votes to pass this legislation right now, which is why I believe we should first vote immediately on the bipartisan infrastructure package, send it to the President's desk, and then quickly consider the budget resolution, which I plan to support," Gottheimer wrote. "We need to get people to work and shovels in the ground."
A 10th moderate, Rep. Stephanie Murphy of Florida, released an op-ed Monday night criticizing Democratic leaders linking the two bills, saying it was "poor legislative strategy" and vowing, "I cannot in good conscience vote to start the reconciliation process unless we also finish our work on the infrastructure bill."
Progressive members have said the bipartisan bill is insufficient and falls short of Biden's promises. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, has framed the budget bill as the best way for Democrats to pass priorities such as addressing climate change, federal funding for family support like child care and money for education.
"The American people delivered us the House, Senate, and White House not only to improve roads and bridges, but to improve their daily lives, too," Jayapal said in a statement after the Senate advanced the budget. "We can do that by using this governing moment to ensure that President Biden's complete agenda is realized."
The centrist Democrats have support from their ideological counterparts in the Senate
Sens. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., have both supported the push for the House to vote on the bipartisan bill immediately while leaders work out differences on the bigger plan.
Sinema went a step further Monday when her spokesman, John LaBombard, issued a statement saying the senator "will not support a budget reconciliation bill that costs $3.5 trillion."
Leaders hope to pass both bills before the end of September. But the difficulty of getting Democrats to agree how to take this procedural step means the process of writing the details of the spending bill and agreeing to a final price tag is likely to be incredibly contentious — just within the Democratic caucus.
Soon after the House vote, Jayapal put down a marker saying progressives' position was "unchanged" on moving the bills together. "As our members have made clear for three months, the two are integrally tied together, and we will only vote for the infrastructure bill after passing the reconciliation bill."

Naphtali (Hebrew: נפתּלי, Naftali; "my struggle"), (b.2250 AM or 1754 BC), was the second son of Jacob and Bilhah (who was a servant to Rachel). He is the ancestor of the Tribe of Naphtali, one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. (Genesis 30:7 )
Entry into Egypt
In 2298 AM (1706 BC), Naphtali came to Egypt permanently, having visited Egypt twice before to buy grain during the famine of 2296-2302 AM (1708-1701 BC). He was 47 years old at the time and had four named sons: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.
In his deathbed blessing of Naphtali, Jacob said this:Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns. Genesis 49:21
Naphtali in fiction
Naphtali appears in many motion picture and television projects depicting the life and career of Joseph. Because Naphtali's role is relatively undistinguished, the portrayals of him in these projects is probably accurate enough.

I'm reading that general relativity let's us describe physics from the point of view of both inertial and accelerated observers. What does that actually mean in terms of doing actual physics? For example, say a physicist performed Millikan's oil drop experiment or Young's double slit experiment or decomposed white light with a prism: (1) in deep space, far from any gravitational field, (2) on Earth, (3) near a black hole. I'm assuming she would get different results, and I'm assuming that in some way this is near the heart of what's important regarding GTR, but how exactly? In other words, what are the implications of GTR for understanding these experiments?
Thank you

This guest post was written by Joe Bunting of The Write Practice.
So you started blogging to make some money. Adsense, advertising, and affiliate sales looked like a pretty good way to make a living. You thought you could make money while you slept at night.
Sounded good at the time, right?
But where's the money?
You set up your Adsense account but you've only got pennies trickling in. No one wants to buy your banner ads. And the only affiliate sales you've landed are a few Amazon books that earned you $1.13. You've slaved on your blog for months, years even, working for a pittance. You thought it was going to be easy making money online.
Now you're wondering if you wasted your time.
This is where I was a few months ago. And then something happened that changed my blogging strategy forever. Someone offered me a job.
Your blog is your resume
Pretend you're an employer, a marketing firm with 100 employees, and you're looking to hire the 101st.
Who are you going to choose? All the candidates look the same: similar educationa; backgrounds, similar experience. But one of them has a blog with 500 subscribers, a Twitter account with 1,000 followers, and is already an expert with Google+. The other candidates don't. Who are you going to hire?
Here is a strange but true thing I heard an actual employer say:
"The blog is the new resume."
Resumes are outdated and growing irrelevant to today's employers. Your blog gives a much fuller picture of your identity and your expertise. Nowhere else can you so quickly get a sense of a person's skill, experience, and ability to engage others around what they know.
The other model for making money online
In only six months, I got two job offers, three requests for consulting work (one for over $200 an hour), and was asked to work on three paid projects. On top of that, I generated hundreds of leads for high-priced, hourly work.
Just by blogging to a group of people who needed services, in my case, to creative writers. The best part is that you can do this, too. Anyone can. It's very simple.
1. Who: Define your audience
Who is your audience? You need to know who your audience is because you need to figure out what services they need. Define their:
- career
- hobbies and interests
- age
- demographics
- annual income.
If you've been blogging long with any success, you probably have a fairly good idea of this already. I didn't need to do a survey to realize most of my readers were over 30, well educated, and wrote novels and creative non-fiction as a hobby.
If you don't know this yet, make it your top priority. If you can figure out how they think, you can sell to them (and in this business model, what you are selling is yourself).
The best way to define your audience, in my opinion, is simply by meeting them. When someone begins to comment regularly, email him. Ask to chat over the phone; if you live nearby, meet for coffee. By interacting with your fans you solve two problems at once, you get to know your audience and you turn them into friends. Once they become your friends, you get the opportunity to make them into your customers.
2. What: Identify what they need
If you don't know your audience, you won't understand what they need.
My audience is creative writers, so I developed a site that I thought would interest them. Slowly, as I began to understand who was reading my blog, I realized there was a huge need for editing. My readers liked to write, but they didn't like to edit. I found my opportunity.
As you get to know your audience, identify what they like to do and what they hate. What are they good at? What are they terrible at? And how can you help them be better?
As you do this, you'll begin to spot opportunities for your services. They might need:
- Education: You could develop a course teaching them what they don't know.
- Consulting: You could sell your time and expertise helping them solve their problems.
- Complimentary services: You could sell services that your audience needs.
Let's break down the complimentary services section a bit more because I think this is where this blogging model becomes really interesting. For example, I realized my audience—creative writers—needed editing services. So I began to pitch this to some of my friends and they loved it. Some of them even approached me!
If marketers are your audience, on the other hand, offer design or copywriting services. If homebuyers are your audience, offer listing services. If your audience needs a lawyer, then offer your legal services. If your audience blogs, you could offer ghost-blogging, design, editing, or copywriting services.
3. How: What if you don't have any skills to offer?
Now, let's say you're writing to people who want to get better at internet marketing. You think your audience needs help writing copy, but you don't have any experience in copywriting.
I had this problem. I knew my readers needed editing help. I had some expertise with editing, but I didn't feel comfortable selling my services to the guy who comments on my blog every day. What if I do a bad job and he gets upset and leaves?
So I started reaching out to editors, asking their advice on how to be a better editor. I emailed, called, and met face to face with them. This is when the most surprising thing happened.
One of them, an editor who has worked with bestselling authors, offered me a job. So not only did I get some practical knowledge to help (and sell to) my readers, I had his name to back me up. And one of the reasons he hired me was because my blog was my resume. He saw I was already passionate and talented. It was an easy decision.
After that, selling my services became much easier. And a much better way to earn money with my blog than selling Adsense.
This is a very quick overview. Do you have any questions about how to sell your services and use your blog as a resume? Have you done this with your own business?

A 9-year-old boy who was shot and killed in Mattapan, allegedly by his older brother, was a Hennigan Elementary School student, according to Boston Public Schools spokesperson Brian Ballou.
The Hennigan School is located at 200 Heath St. in Jamaica Plain.
"Counselors are at the school and are available for any students or staff," Ballou said in an email to the Gazette on Feb. 10.
According to bpdnews.com, the Boston Police Department (BPD) responded on Feb. 7 to a report of a person shot at 617 Morton St. in Mattapan. Officers found a 9-year-old boy suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to Boston Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. His 14-year-old brother was arrested shortly thereafter.
"Based on the evidence at the scene and statements by individuals, including the juvenile, investigators believe the boy was handling the firearm recklessly when it discharged," stated the police report.
The 14-year-old is charged with involuntary manslaughter and illegal possession of a firearm.
The boys' names have not been released due to their ages.

1. EBay enjoyed an extremely successful 2012 in terms of mobile revenue. How do you plan to build on this in 2013?
In 2012 we exceeded our original targets for mobile sales reaching $13 billion and we're expecting to see this grow to over $20 billion this year. Mobile has revolutionised the way people shop and I believe that the high street of the future, with mobile at its heart, represents an exciting new chapter in the world of retail.
This year we're working with some of the UK's biggest retailers to help them get the most out of mobile. We have invested in new technologies to improve the search function and introduce augmented reality to our eBay Fashion and Motors apps.
2. Bricks-and-mortar stores have been forced to adapt to changing times by adopting a multichannel approach to retail. How important is mobile to eBay's own multichannel strategy?
The world is no longer about online or offline – it's about connected commerce – the ability to shop, anytime, anywhere. Mobile is the glue that brings these online and offline experiences together.
For example, one third of all eBay transactions today are "touched" by mobile, meaning users access listings or post products using their mobile, even if the sale isn't made on a mobile phone.
For retailers it's a powerful channel that can increase sales and must not be neglected.
3. EBay paints itself as a partner for high street retailers, but aren't you really a competitor as you're taking sales away from their own stores and e-commerce sites?
Not at all. Our business is structured so that we can only continue to grow if the brands and retailers who sell through our platform are successful.
Unlike other online marketplaces such as Amazon, we don't have an inventory of our own products, so it's absolutely true to say that we're a partner, not a competitor. We're a channel that many leading retailers use.
For retailers using eBay as part of an omnichannel strategy, we provide an alternative platform to reach millions of new customers around the world.
Retailers retain full control – it's their shop window to curate as they wish. Today over 100 well-known brands and retailers use the site and the number keeps on growing.
4. Which type of device is currently most popular with your users – desktop, smartphone or tablet? And how do you see that changing in the next 12 months?
The eBay user typically uses different devices at different points in their shopping journey.
We know that one third of all eBay transactions are touched by mobile and sales from tablet devices are up 55% compared to the same time last year.
This trend is only going to increase with the arrival of 4G and the rise in smartphone use.
5. How does user activity differ between tablet and desktop?
Shoppers today want a seamless, omnichannel shopping experience with the ability to shop anytime, anywhere – from browsing at home or price checking on the way to work, to locating stock and checking availability in-stores.
Last Christmas we found that tablet shoppers tended to spend the most, with the average user spending £154 compared to smartphone shoppers who spent around £85 each.
With a host of new tablet devices arriving to market, we'll see more consumers than ever shopping via this format.
6. How popular is the barcode scanner in your mobile apps? Do you think this capability had an impact on the success of your apps?
Our RedLaser app is incredibly popular and has contributed to the success of our app downloads because it enhances and improves the in-store experience for the consumer.
But it's not the sole reason that we've seen 120 million downloads of our apps globally.
Other factors include PayPal, which allows shoppers to make an instant purchase just by entering one password. All of our apps are user friendly and most importantly, available across a range of devices and operating systems.
Our eBay Fashion app and Motors app are also doing incredibly well, proving the powerful impact of technologies such as image recognition.
7. The eBay homepage was recently redesigned to use a tiled layout. Is this part of a move towards making the site responsive?
As a business, eBay embraces a culture of evolution and change – we wouldn't be a leader in our industry without it.
Last year we took the next step by creating the new eBay, which offers a cleaner, more contemporary and consistent experience, with innovation that makes buying and selling easier and more enjoyable.
The new site also focuses on personalisation, to give eBay users a curated shopping experience that's relevant to them.

Inclusive Education |
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) in Maharashtra
The Education for All Movement, the central government's flagship SSA, seeks to ensure that every child, including those with special needs, is provided an elementary education. As far as disability is concerned the SSA has adopted a zero rejection policy. It provides for universal access to infrastructure and curricula in schools. Maharashtra is at the forefront of this scheme. In all 380000 teachers from Maharashtra attended workshops on inclusive education through the SSA. 414277 children with special needs were identified and 380723 enrolled under the SSA in Maharashtra as of Jun-2009, . Of these about 9000 children were provided a home-based education.Beyond elementary school it is up to the state education boards to ensure access to further education. For this the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) initiated accommodations and waivers in 2009. This year for the first time, 9 students with autism from Pune division and 10 students from Mumbai appeared for the Maharashtra SSC 10th standard board exams. Lets look at why this is a significant social event.
Modern education of children with disability traces its history to Jean-Marc Itard a French physician. On the cusp of the 18th and 19th centuries Itard attempted to educate Victor, a feral child discovered in the forests of Aveyron. Although Itard himself judged his work with Victor a failure, this renowned experiment marked the first time that anyone considered the possibility that persons with disabilities could be educated.
Edouard Seguin (mid 1800s), a French educator, developed a method for teaching children with intellectual disability in order for them to take their rightful place in the societies of their day. The early training schools were based on these concepts. The schools were small and homelike with 8 to 10 residents. The original goal was the return of children to their families after a period of intervention.
Despite these early efforts, it was later concluded that educational and therapeutic approaches had failed. Persons with intellectual disability were scapegoated and regarded as the root cause of many social problems. Institutionalisation and segregation into special schools became the principal means of 'protecting' intellectually disabled persons from society and also for 'safeguarding' society against the social ill thought to be caused by an expanding population of defectives (Jackson 1999).Mainstreaming
Lloyd Dunn (1968), a special educator, declared that most children with mental retardation could be "mainstreamed" in classes with typically developing age-mates. He questioned the need for segregated special education classes for most children with mental retardation. He highlighted the lack of evidence to show that children with mild mental retardation learn any better in special education classes than in regular classes. Lloyd Dunn pointed out that educational techniques had advanced sufficiently to allow the effective schooling of most children with retardation alongside other typical children.Normalization
Wolf Wolfensberger (1972), a scholar, activist and prolific author in the field of development disabilities extended the idea of normalization to the service delivery system itself. He called on all residences, schools, and other services for persons with retardation to be as normative as possible. Parent and professional advocacy groups also fought hard for legislative and legal victories to decrease the size of large institutions.Inclusion
Inclusive education seeks to overcome every barrier - physical and academic- to ensure the child is educated with their peers (Sigafoos 2003). It stresses the importance of peer interaction in the final outcome for the child who is to enter into the adult world on a level playing field. To this end academics is given a secondary role. The child is supported for all physical needs to enable participation in the classroom experience with their peer group. Academic difficulties are addressed by a remedial teacher or special educator attached to the class who helps the child in parallel with the regular curriculum. The child may be learning at a level many grades below the rest of the class but has the benefit of meaningful social interaction.It has taken 200 years for the vision of Itard to reach the SSA, the national inclusive education program. The universal principles of justice, fraternity, and equality secured for all citizens by the constitution are driving us to ensure children with autism and other disabilities are educated alongside their peers. That is why nine children with autism have appeared for a board exam in Pune. That is why this is a significant social event.

An Innovative Solution for Diagnostic Testing
This customer is a leader in the development and commercialization of novel pharmaceutical and diagnostic products that enable physicians to provide greater individualized patient care. One significant product the organization developed is a patented Gastrointestinal (GI) Diagnostic Testing Kit. Physicians can request the kit online from the organization's laboratory and have it sent directly to patients who then administer it in their own home. Previously, patients had to go through extensive testing which required them to go to multiple doctors' offices over the course of weeks or even months. Even worse, because these tests were done at different times, the test results or the blood/stool samples would often get lost, adding more unnecessary stress to patients, who then had to repeat these tests.
The new GI Diagnostic Testing Kit solved many of these patient problems by being easy to administer at home and combining multiple tests into one kit. However, they discovered another obstacle to making this testing process a truly innovative experience: the system for requesting and delivering results.
The current process was entirely manual, which was contributing to the lost results and samples. There were many different parties involved in requesting, testing and delivering patient information, and the paper process meant that there were large gaps of time between testing and results delivery. All of this created a high potential for mistakes, and the organization decided that, to turn its product into a true competitive advantage, it needed a digital solution to replace the manual process.
Custom Portal Reduced Patient Stress and Delivered More Accurate Results
After researching consultants and software, the organization decided to partner with Dunn Solutions and use the Liferay platform to deliver a full-featured portal that would serve patients, physicians and laboratory technicians with this process of diagnostic testing.
The new patient portal needed to achieve the following:
- Integrate with the laboratory's patient database in order to
retrieve and display data.
- Simple registration for patients and doctors.
- Tracking for the current status of the tests at each point of
the process and a way to display it.
- Controls for laboratory technicians and doctors to release
results when they were ready.
- Extensive patient information tagging.
- Geolocation to identify drop-off locations for patients.
In addition, the organization wanted the portal environment (both the database and servers) to be fully hosted and managed with Microsoft Azure technology, in order to ease the burden that managing the environment would place on the laboratory staff. This freed the team to focus on doing what it does best: accurate, efficient diagnostic testing.
The organization had a solid vision for how it wanted to use all of these functionalities to create an experience that differentiated them as a business. Once it had the right features and integrations in place, the team started to craft the right system.
Both patients and doctors are able to quickly and easily register themselves on the portal. Patients use codes given to them by their doctors at the beginning of the testing process, and doctors use their unique National Provider Identification (NPI) number for authentication. Once registered, patients and doctors are able to see exactly where the test is at every stage, including the doctor's initial request to deliver the test to the patient, delivery to the patient, delivery to the laboratory, testing by the laboratory and the final results. Because the portal provides patients with the closest drop-off location for their test, the entire process is now significantly easier for them. They receive the test, administer it, drop it off and receive a notification from their doctor as soon as the correct results are available. Because doctors have control over when to release the results, they are also able to ensure that everything is correct and there has been no mix-up with the patient's data. If there does seem to be an error, the system is already integrated with patient data tagging to help doctors and laboratory staff understand whether any mistake has been made.
The new portal leverages many out-of-the-box features of Liferay to accomplish all this, including single-sign-on access, two factor authentication, and customizable workflows and tasks. Dunn Solutions' expert developers also integrated the portal with many third-party systems, including EMR, accounting systems, and third-party logistics companies such as FedEx.
A Revolutionary Patient Testing Experience
The new patient portal has changed the lives of individuals struggling with chronic GI issues. The easier process of in-home testing, as well as being able to combine multiple tests into one, has reduced patients' stress while producing more effective results. The laboratory's new patient portal streamlines the doctor/patient eco-system. With its ease of registration, access and dynamic results displays, this new portal reduces the number of doctor visits needed previously. Doctors can now order tests, send tests to the lab and release results to the patients directly from the portal.
The organization has been able to expand this solution further with interactive graphs of test results, a native mobile application that allows information to be accessed offline and text messaging capabilities with the platform for faster communication. Overall, it has achieved a unique, customized solution that enhances the effectiveness of its product and delivers a customer experience that fully integrates with the rest of its business.

Anticonvulsant drug helps marijuana smokers kick the habit

Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have found clinical evidence that the drug gabapentin, currently on the market to treat neuropathic pain and epilepsy, helps people to quit smoking marijuana (cannabis). Unlike traditional addiction treatments, gabapentin targets stress systems in the brain that are activated by drug withdrawal.
In a 12-week trial of 50 treatment-seeking cannabis users, those who took gabapentin used less cannabis, experienced fewer withdrawal symptoms such as sleeplessness, and scored higher on tests of attention, impulse-control, and other cognitive skills, compared to patients who received a placebo. If these results are confirmed by ongoing larger trials, gabapentin could become the first FDA-approved pharmaceutical treatment for cannabis dependence.
"A lot of other drugs have been tested for their ability to decrease cannabis use and withdrawal, but this is the first to show these key effects in a controlled treatment study," said Barbara J. Mason, the Pearson Family Chair and Co-Director of the Pearson Center for Alcoholism and Addiction Research at Scripps Research. "The other nice thing about gabapentin is that it is already widely prescribed, so its safety is less likely to be an issue."
Mason led the new gabapentin study, recently published online ahead of print by the journal Neuropsychopharmacology.
Stress Circuits
Addiction researchers have long known that recreational drugs hook users by disrupting the normal tuning of their brains' reward and motivation circuitry. But as scientists at Scripps Research and other institutions have shown in animal studies, cannabis withdrawal after prolonged heavy use also leads to the long-term activation of basic stress circuits. "In human cannabis users who try to quit, this stress response is reflected in reports of drug craving, sleep disturbances, anxiety, irritability, and dysphoria, any one of which can motivate a person to return to using, because cannabis will quiet these symptoms," said Mason.
A 2008 study by Pearson Center Co-Director George Koob and his colleagues found that gabapentin, an FDA-approved anticonvulsant drug that resembles the neurotransmitter GABA, can quiet this withdrawal-related activation in stress circuitry in alcohol-dependent rats. That finding motivated Mason to set up a pilot trial of gabapentin in cannabis-dependent individuals, whose withdrawal syndrome features a similar over-activation of stress circuits.
She and her colleagues recruited cannabis users with local newspaper and web ads headlined: "Smoking too much pot? We want to help you stop." "We needed only 50 subjects, but we quickly got more than 700 queries from cannabis users who were eager to quit," Mason said. "Some people deny that cannabis can be addictive, but surveys show that between 16 and 25 percent of substance use treatment admissions around the world every year involve people with primary cannabis dependence."
Twice as Many Abstinent from Cannabis Use
The trial was based at Mason's laboratory at The Scripps Research Institute. Half of the 50 recruits were randomly assigned to take 1,200 mg/day of gabapentin; the rest were given identical-looking placebo capsules. Over 12 weeks, Mason and her colleagues, including a medical team from the nearby Scripps Clinic, monitored the subjects with tests. Using standard behavioral therapy techniques, they also counseled the patients to stay off cannabis.
The subjects' self-reports and more objective urine tests revealed that gabapentin, compared to placebo, significantly reduced their continuing cannabis use. "Urine metabolite readings indicate about twice as many of the gabapentin subjects had no new cannabis use during the entire study, and, in the last four weeks of the study, all of the gabapentin subjects who completed the study stayed abstinent," Mason said.
Gabapentin also clearly reduced the reported symptoms of withdrawal such as sleep disturbances, drug cravings, and dysphoria. And even though gabapentin normally is thought of as a brain-quieting drug that can cause sleepiness as a side effect, there was some evidence that it sharpened cognition among the cannabis users. Seven gabapentin and ten placebo patients sat for tests of attention, impulse-control, and other executive functions just before the start of the trial and at week four. While the placebo patients tended to score lower after four weeks of attempted abstinence, the gabapentin patients generally scored higher.
Help Resisting Cravings
Addiction researchers now recognize that one of the effects of repeated drug use is the weakening of executive functions -- which can happen through the over-activation of reward circuitry as well as by withdrawal-related stress. "That weakening of self-control-related circuits makes it even harder for people to resist drug cravings when they're trying to quit, but gabapentin may help restore those circuits, by reducing stress and enabling patients to sleep better, so that they function better while awake," Mason said.
She is now conducting a larger, confirmatory study of gabapentin in cannabis users, as well as a new study of a novel drug that targets the same stress circuitry.
"People in the treatment community have told me that they're eager for these trial results to come out, because until now nothing has been shown to work against both relapse and withdrawal symptoms," Mason said.
