In my opinion a lot of people have at some point been bitten by the bug of opening a personal blog. The main reasons are because they dominate a subject and like to write about it. Another reason is that they simply have a hobby to which they want to spend more time by including related articles in a blog. I will focus the post on those professionals who want to progress in their specialty and think writing on a blog can be a good tool.

It can happen many times that we fall into the trap of single vision in the short term. The reason is that blogging takes time and effort to notice changes in our professional life. It is also common that seen from outside is seen as a sterile activity to face a future.

The benefits are divided into 3 areas: non-monetizable, indirectly monetizable and monetizable directly.

Monetizable Benefits

• The blog will help you to mark very enriching work dynamics since you will always have to be organized enough to find your writing time.

• It will be an important prop in the face of being a constant person in your work.

• It will propel you to be a creative person on a sustained basis. Having to be constantly in “search and capture” interesting content will positively affect your ingenuity.

• It will be a way of continuous learning. When you look back you will realize how much you have sown in your professional training.

Indirectly Monetizable Benefits

• The blog’s own activity and its promotion for you to read will lead to the expansion of your network. In addition you have done adding value to the known users. So it is very likely that some of these new relationships will lead to collaborations between professionals.

• With your acquaintances and in general you will begin to be considered an expert in the matter chosen in your articles. Does not it make sense? How is not going to be an expert who investigates and writes periodically on a specific topic? Needless to say, that can end up in requests for consulting jobs, or giving a course, etc.

• With the blog you have obtained a cover letter much more extensive and effective than any Linkedin profile. Looking for new professional opportunities, a good blog gives a very good image and will bring you to new horizons.

Directly Monetizable Benefits

• Publicity: If you get many monthly visits you will open the doors to you to insert advertising in your blog. This advertising can be of different types: Sponsors, through an account of google adsense or through advertising networks that make different advertisers available.

• Consulting services: For those readers who have managed to be relevant, it is likely that at some point they ask for advice that can evolve into a timely or stable consulting service applied to your subject.

• Courses and eBooks: Another option at your fingertips is to manufacture paid content. The most used routes are in online course format or by publishing an ebook in pdf format that can be downloaded by the interested user.

• Speaker or trainer: Another usual point is that certain events or companies contact you to give talks or some paper.

• Collaboration with some means of collaboration: If you have demonstrated your skills in a blog you can make them available to those interested in the type of content you publish.

In short, these are the ways and usual ways that bloggers get compensation for the effort invested. Nothing is in vain, the professional who manages to save the first few months of hard road writing and taking steps in a firm “post a post” has at his fingertips endless opportunities that can catapult him to be a reputed and respected expert in his sector . There is no doubt that this is a huge satisfaction.

Cancer can be a complex and daunting topic, but it’s important to know the basics. Here are some things you should know.

What Is Cervical Cancer and What Are Its Symptoms?

Cervical cancer affects the cervix, the neck of the womb that’s just beyond the vagina. Abnormal cell changes and the early stages of cervical cancer rarely result in symptoms, but if the cancer develops symptoms can include pain and discomfort during sex, pain in the pelvic area and abnormal vaginal discharge and/or bleeding.

Cervical cancer can affect women of any age, though it’s very rare under 25 and most common in sexually active women around 30 to 45 years old.

What Are the Causes?

The human papillomavirus (HPV), of which there are over 100 different forms, is the most common cause. The majority of sexually active adults will be infected with this at some point in their lives, and some can result in abnormal cell changes and potentially cancer. As HPV and other STIs can often go unnoticed due to a lack of symptoms, it’s vital to get regular checks, and there are even home STI kits in London available to test yourself for some infections – see greenwichsexualhealth for more information.

Screening and Diagnosis

The NHS provides cervical screening, also known as a pap or smear, for all women over 25 every three years. It’s every five years for those between 50 and 64, and only women over 65 who have not attended a screening since the age of 50 or who have had abnormal results will be invited.

Most abnormal cells found during the screening will be due to pre-cancerous changes or an infection. You will be invited back for a colposcopy appointment to check the degree of their abnormality.

Treatment

Abnormal cells showing severe changes can be treated with the LLETZ procedure.

Each year, approximately 3,000 cervical cancers are diagnosed in the UK. Surgery is often successful for cancer detected early on, though radiotherapy and chemotherapy are generally required for advanced cases. However, complications can occur, including frequent urination and vaginal bleeding as well as life-threatening complications like kidney failure.

Almost 1,000 women in the UK will die from cervical cancer each year, but preventative treatment and detecting it early can significantly boost survival rates and provide a more positive outlook.

Every culture around the world have their own unique traditions and customs when it comes to welcoming babies into the world. Some are formal, solemn and religious while others seem strange, even bizarre. Here we look at the different customs for the birth, naming and welcoming of babies around the world:

In Hindu countries, the heads of newborn babies are often shaved carefully. It is believed that this rids any bad luck from a previous life. In Buddhism, monks perform a hair shaving ritual as well for purification one month and one day after the birth of the baby.

Muslims perform a ceremony called an Aqiqah exactly a week after the birth. This is an important religious ceremony to represent the child becoming a servant of Allah. A piece of hair is cut then weighed and then the equivalent weight in gold or silver is offered to the poor.

Smoke and heat are considered important purification methods in some parts of Africa and Asia. It is believed that the properties of heat and smoke heal the mother and offer protection to the newborn. In Thailand a ritual that women perform is known as jufaj and involves spending 11 days lying alongside a fire. This is to frighten off evil spirits and help the woman’s uterus to heal.

In Malaysia, mothers spend 44 days in confinement, called pantang. This is to regain their strength and health. The women sit by fires, apply hot oils and stones onto their bodies and wrap their abdomens in a traditional binding.

Some bizarre rituals include the dropping of babies from the Sri Santeswar temple in India. For hundreds of years babies are dropped 50 feet onto sheets below being held while people celebrate and sing. The dangerously-sounding event is thought to bring wealth, health and good luck.

In the UK, naming our babies is down to the parent’s choice in a christening or naming ceremony. For a beautiful range of Ireland Christening Gifts, visit https://www.gifts4baby.ie/ However, in some places, the decision is down to others. In Bhutan, babies are named 3 days after birth by a priest. There are no surnames and most names given are unisex and religious. As you can imagine, many children end up with the same name, so nicknames are common here.

In Japan, on the seventh night after birth babies are dressed in white to be a part of a naming ceremony called Oshichiya. Names given are often the same as their grandparents and are written in beautiful Japanese calligraphy to be displayed in the home.

The umbilical cord is often something that gets placed in a baby’s keepsake box, but some cultures offer it much more reverence. A male family member in Brunei will wrap the cord in a white sheet and bury it near a flower or tree. Jamaicans follow a similar tradition and plant a tree above the buried cord to mark the start of a baby’s new life.

In a day and age where technology is at the forefront of everything we do, there are thousands of different accessories available to kit out your car and enhance the experience within. Since we are in this age, there are electronic items to consider, but also mechanical devices which serve a fantastic purpose. Not only are there internal accessories to consider, but external, which make up some of the most useful devices. Here are some of the best accessories you can get your hands on:

GPS Systems / Sat Navs
As one of the most cost effective methods of navigation, Sat Navs use impressive technology to direct you to where you need to go, often succeeding in helping you reach all destinations. With touch screens and safety cameras included on new models, you can essentially travel as necessary in the comfort of knowing that you’re likely to get where you need to go, even without knowing where that is yourself.

Pressure Washer
Pressure washers turn the chore of cleaning into good fun! Packing extremely high power, they certainly provide enough force to clean your car. Making the entire cleaning experience more enjoyable, power washers have revolutionised cleaning.

Heavily Scented Air Freshener
There are various brands which provide a forever fresh smelling aroma, so be sure to do your research and find the longest lasting which in effect eliminates odor. There are many air fresheners out there for the car which mask smells and do not embody a long lasting, powerful smell, but be sure to look out for one which will keep your car smelling fresh regardless of what happens, and for a long period of time.

Car Bracket
A car bracket is the perfect external accessory for carrying items like bicycles when you travel. Bikes can otherwise take up a lot of room in your trunk or inside your car, so to be able to attach them to the outside of your car is a life saver. Be sure to check these out, and consider buying one to give you plenty of room inside your car, either for passengers or so not to obstruct your view.

Roof Rack
A roof rack allows you to transport multiple items at your own leisure, items such as tools, luggage, equipment, skis and so on. With a similar concept to the car bracket, the roof rack perfectly utilises the space on top of your car, allowing you to transport items from one location to the next, with little hassle. If you are going on holiday or traveling a long distance, the last thing you need is a cluttered car, so luckily for you drivers out there this prevents such a circumstance.

Are you planning to buy a new home? Well, if yes then you would surely agree that buying oneis definitely something that requires untiring efforts to proceed. This is not an easy task. It requires a deep market research and finance of course. However, if you are planning for buying next home then it is always advisable to make an adequate plan and move in the direction accordingly.

Pre-preparations before applying for buying a new home:-

You have to make sure that you buy a home in the locality that is close to your working place, it should be accessible easily through any mode of transport. Apart from this factor, the home being an affordable one also matters a lot.

After getting an idea of the locality and prices, the next thing to decide is whether you go for cash-payment or part-payment. Part-payment can be done in two ways, part-payment directly to the property dealer or house lender, and part-payment through home loans. You should make your choice as per your convenience and ease of availability of the two options. If you are going for the home loan then you had better have a thorough online research for all possible home loan schemes including the loans granted for bad credit too.

Check out the details:-

It is important to know the comprehensive details about the person from you are buying next home. You should check all the legal documents related to the home. If you are buying through a home loan financial lending service then you must have a deep knowledge about the reputation and also track the history of it if possible.

If you buy on installments then what will be the interest: –

Whether you take loan through a moneylender, house lender or any bank, you must have a prior knowledge of the interest rates. Interests adds up quickly to your principle amount and results into 50 percent increase in the total amount to payback from your side at the end of the installments period of 25 to 30 years. Try to reduce the interest rates by good monthly installments or down payment options. You can even choose a good home loan scheme with much lower the interest rates.

Carefully reading the terms and conditions: –

Before signing up the papers related to the home loan, you must read all the instructions. You must have the idea of duration of loan, number of monthly installments and amount of installments. You must have a compromise between monthly payments and interest charges because long term loans results in lower EMI but increased percentages of interest rates.

Comparing among all possible alternatives: –

Evaluate all the options to buy new home, after all you are moving to a better, classy and luxurious property than your current home. Isn’t it? Mortgage companies help in a multitude of ways to buy a new home through finance. They often sometimes hire a mortgage broker for you. They can improve your search for new home as well as home loans. A trusted residential mortgage broker has a license number which can help you to find them through internet. The mortgage broker would ask you about your information through online application processing. Mortgage rates will be then fixed as per your financial record of accomplishment.

With proper time management and use of all the available resources, you can find the best ways for buying your next home. Take at least two to three weeks to reach the final decision.

There are many websites available for married persons to help you find a date online. Yet, finding the right website, which allowing total anonymity, discretion, and safety, can be hard. A woman looking for a one-night stand, on the wrong website, can harm you in the end. Your reputation and family can be hurt if the information is not kept secret and your bank book is hurt is it is an online scam website; there are many of them to watch out for.

While some people may not approve of married liaison website pages, you can find an element that is irrefutable: it calls for honesty. Unlike singles online pages, where married individuals will often fib to attract a potential partner, participants on married affair websites are totally conscious of the situation of their prospective accomplice and can decide to get caught up with a single person or even a person who is married to himself. This commonality might often give everybody a sense of relaxation and comfort in the relationship.

Women seeking affairs many times make out they do so because they think they’re taken for grant and paid no attention by their husbands. They tend to be looking for the passion and novelty that a secret affair offers. A discreet companion can make them feel good in relation to their body or they may very well be in love with a guy other than their husband. And, obviously, the secret relationship can be only about the sex.

In spite of these factors, a lot of hitched ladies (and gents) are going to the Web in a look for an appropriate partner for a discreet relationship. As many ladies used common social network sites such as MySpace and Facebook to look for possible partners, other people have discovered sites purposely made to cater to those wanting married affairs. These sites are now a popular means for men or women to discreetly meet.

Your married affair can remain hidden with these three basic tips.

1. Keep all contact between you and your trust in one safe place. A text, email or phone message between cheating husbands, cheating wives and their lovers seen by their spouse is the easiest way to get caught. It happens to the best of them. A badly timed text message or phone call is seen by a spouse is a quick ticket to divorce court. Keeping all your contact on the website where you met is the safest way to keep this from happening to you. Affair websites all have email services and you should keep all your contact there. Leaving the anonymous safety of a cheaters website is a big no-no. Never use your phone or regular email accounts. Of course, it is a thrill to hear from your lover or to tell them you are thinking about them but don’t let it happen. The anonymous profile and email you started with is the only place you should correspond.
2. You and your naughty rendezvous should meet at the place of your discreet encounter. Do not travel anywhere together. Being seen in public with your cheating woman or cheating man is a big mistake. Always meet at the final destination of your discreet encounter. The chance of being seen is higher than you may think. When you begin to consider the sphere of people who you and your spouse know it’s amazing. Consider the number of people you know at work, your families, your friends and acquaintances, social and your children’s activities. These are all people who could potentially see you with the wrong person. This number can be in the thousands. And believe me people love to gossip. Your spouse is bound to hear about your affair.
3. Never ever keep any kind of receipt and always pay cash. The paper trail of credit cards, bank cards and receipts is almost impossible to completely get rid of. Today’s aggressive marketing means anything other than a phony name and cash will be followed up and that could look suspicious. Therefore always pay cash for whatever you do. Obviously don’t use your name on registers etc, use your profile name when in need of a married affair. These three tips will certainly help to keep your discreet encounter in fact discreet.
