Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
The retail sector is square in Google's sights. While the other major search engines focus on online software and services, Google has recognized the need to crack the lucrative online retail market.
Google Base, launched in Nov 2005, was the first sign the Google was finally making moves towards an online retail presence. Though still in beta, Google Base has been the foundation for many more developments towards seriously challenging the reign of eBay and Craigslist.
Last Thursday saw Google rollout the first trial of its payment processing gateway. Aimed at challenging PayPal's (eBay's online payment system) virtual monopoly on the e-commerce payment market, their new service will be available to Google Base customers providing an all-in-one online retailing solution.
Their new payment platform is not restricted to Google Base customers only, and considering its transaction costs are cheaper than PayPal's fees, it appears an online retailing dogfight is looming. While other payment platforms have come and gone, Google has the power to enter the market and genuinely give PayPal a run for its money (Pun intended!).
Google's efforts to enter the online retail sector don't end at their new Google Base and payment gateway. The latest speculation suggests Google is releasing an e-commerce search engine that will allow retailers who do not currently sell products online to gain an online presence.
While most of the latest online retailing initiatives are being trialed in Europe, this latest venture has some clear long term revenue potential for the search giant which should make Google's weary shareholders much happier.

How to Make a friend punch themselves with an arm wrestling prank
Arm wrestling is one of the simplest, safest ways for two people to decide who is the stronger of them. If you find yourself arm wrestling a rather slow person, try this prank on them! All you do is convince them to try the new form of arm wrestling shown in the video, then do as these fine gentlemen do. Have some ice on hand in case your victim really punches themselves hard.

rabbee: sentience is dependent, on how it is encoded. much likened unto, a magnetic tape. how it is put together, arranged determines sentience. like a transceiver, if it is not put together in the right order it does not transmit or receive. and is why you can't just slop elements, of dna in a test tube and make it work. it has to have an specific order of arrangement, for it to work. sentience is by input, indicating intelligent design. the physical human body itself does not have sentience, without the interface to the casper. without the ruach inside of you, your body is dead.<quoted text>
Is the plasma that you're referring to the quark-gluon plasma - the 5th state of matter?
That does not explain sentience either.
with any out of body experience, your time to return is very finite. we are talking about something, beyond your ability to slightly comprehend. even i do not fully comprehend it, all i know is by actual experience in this area. my body does not continue to move around purposely, with sentience when my casper is not in it. the human human body by itself, does not have sentience. it has no idea i am gone it's the sane as dead, unless my casper returns in it. and i have never been out of my physical body, for more than 3 1/2 days.

As the founder of NLFBank I can assure you that this nonprofit is filling a dire need in the community. There is such Love in this place and it spreads out to the awesome clients we serve! Getting children and adults off the floor is essential to their health and success!
I am a board member at New Life Furniture, the only Cincinnati-based furniture bank. Delivering furniture and other essential items to families and individuals in need is a critical way to end the cycle of homelessness. The full time staff is professional, compassionate, and works to provide a positive experience for those that we serve. It is an honor to serve on this board in support of the New Life Furniture mission.
What a wonderful service New Life Furniture provides to families and individuals trying to get back on their feet! The volunteers I have come in contact with are dedicated and serve with such compassion and kindness. Many of the former recipients of furniture have even come back to donate their time and to serve others.
New Life provides a wonderful service, providing families with not just furniture but a home. This is done with dignity, grace, love and kindness. I enjoyed my time on the board and will continue to support New Life forever!
I have volunteered with New Life Furniture and have had a friend be a recipient of furniture after going through a time of homelessness. New Life Furniture fills a gap helping people make a home. Its one thing to have shelter, but I have seen first hand clothes in a pile on the floor to create "nest". The eyes of children light up when beds were delivered. A mother with tears in her eyes of gratitude to have a table and chairs to sit at while her and her family eat dinner together. New Life does all of this with excellence.
New Life Furniture has been a wonderful partner for my clients who are starting off in their first apartments. My clients have received great customer service when delivered and great furniture at that. I would definitely recommend New Life Furniture for any organization needing good gently used furniture for individuals and families.
They were able to help some of the families in our church with a full apartment of furniture. They were neat, on time and the furniture was clean and in good condition. What a blessing New Life Furniture is to many low income families in the Cincinnati, area.
We donated our gently used furniture to New Life Furniture and when the moving people came to pick it up , they were super friendly and timely! We are excited that our furniture will be used for such an amazing cause! Thank you so much!
New Life Furniture helps hundreds of individuals and families each year to go from no or almost no furniture to having places to sleep, sit, and eat in their residence. This organization is a huge blessing to people in crisis in our community.

Rob Kazinsky gave yet another indication that Warlow is going to lose it, and let go off his monstrous vampire side in the final episode:
"This guy's a timebomb if he goes off. It's not just scary, it's cataclysmic," Kazinsky told the Herald last week. "He's an incredibly powerful vampire, and as a fae, he throws fireballs. He can take what he wants, but he's trying his best to be understanding, to be a good guy, to make her love him of her own free will. She has a choice, and he's given her that."
"He's an addict. He can't fight his nature and he can't fight his natural cravings. Unlike a junkie, he doesn't just have a relapse, he has a bloodbath. It's not just one person, he has to drink 10, and he can't control that side of him."

Transfer news: Nurnberg are looking to sign a defender in January
Nurnberg general manager Martin Bader has admitted the club are likely to sign a defender in January.
By Thomas Zocher
Last Updated: 04/12/13 5:59pm
Sweden international defender Per Nilsson is paired with former West Ham and Middlesbrough player Emanuel Pogatetz in the heart of the defence.
But Bader admits the club - currently sitting in 17th in the Bundesliga table with no wins in their opening 14 games - need back-up in case one of the duo should be unable to feature during the second half of the season as they battle to avoid the drop.
Bader told BILD: "Finding a solution for defence is also about taking good care of those current players we have in that position.
"We need to remain in control of affairs at the back if Per Nilsson or Emanuel Pogatetz should become unable to take part for us at some point."
Balitsch hopes
Meanwhile, Bader feels the club will open up the door for former Germany international midfielder Hanno Balitsch.
The 32-year-old had been a first-team regular at Grundig-Stadion until he was ousted from first-team training by former Nurnberg boss Michael Wiesinger in September.
But he has done well in training with the reserves and may get an opportunity as new manager Gertjan Verbeek seeks to guide the club to safety.
Bader told Nurnberger Zeitung: "Hanno really did everything he could to reset things to zero. Why should we then close the door for him now?
"He could well get back to match action, if he does impress the manager in training."

Printer Reviews
Printers are one of those technology items that you buy once and hope you can use forever. That's practically the case today; we have a number of printers still in use after 5-10 years. That being said, each year brings slightly upgraded features, whether it's faster print speeds, better quality output, enhanced wireless connectivity, or a broader feature set. For most users, all-in-one units, which include copy and scan functionality, as well as fax capability in small office-oriented models, are the best value, but even within that category, there are a huge range of options!
By the way, to see all of our top picks in every printer category, check out our Printer Buyer's Guide, updated quarterly!

The glutes or gluteus maximus (also known collectively with the gluteus medius and minimus, as the gluteal muscles, and sometimes referred to informally as the 'glutes') is the largest and most superficial of the three gluteal muscles. It makes up a large portion of the shape and appearance of the hips.
It is a narrow and thick fleshy mass of a quadrilateral shape, and forms the prominence of the nates.
Its large size is one of the most characteristic features of the muscular system in humans,[1] connected as it is with the power of maintaining the trunk in the erect posture. Other primates have much flatter hips.
The muscle is remarkably coarse in structure, being made up of fascicles lying parallel with one another, and collected together into large bundles separated by fibrous septa.

Boston Celtics officials say NBA Hall of Famer Bill Russell is doing OK after collapsing during a speaking engagement near Lake Tahoe.
Team spokesman Brian Olive says the 80-year-old Russell felt faint after the Thursday morning fall at the Hyatt Regency resort in Incline Village, Nevada, but was planning on returning home to Seattle this evening. Witness Michael Rooney tells The Associated Press that Russell was telling a story about Wilt Chamberlain to a roomful of Konica Minolta employees when he started to sway at the podium and then fell backward. Rooney says Russell seemed to be conscious as hotel personnel and first responders came to his aid. The meeting was cut short and attendees left. Russell, a five-time NBA MVP, is considered one of the best players in basketball history. He won 11 championships in 13 years as a center with the Celtics. As a player-coach for the last two, he was the first black head coach in a major U.S. pro sport. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1975, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2010 and was honored last year with a statue outside Boston's City Hall.
The Washington Wizards have officially signed veteran forward Paul Pierce. Pierce, who turns 37 in October, spent 15 seasons with the Boston Celtics before being traded to the Brooklyn Nets last season. ''We are very happy to welcome Paul to our organization and add his championship experience and history of clutch play to our team,'' Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld said in a statement. Pierce averaged a career-low 13.5 points last season in his first year with the Nets. But he is a 10-time All-Star who has gained a reputation as one of the best big-moment players in the league. Led by guards John Wall and Bradley Beal, Washington reached the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs last season, their first postseason appearance since 2008. "He will be a good fit alongside our young, dynamic backcourt while his presence and leadership will make a difference for us both on and off the court,'' Grunfeld said of Pierce.
Armstrong met cycling doping panel
An attorney for Lance Armstrong says the banned-for-life cyclist met in May with the panel investigating cycling's doping past. Armstrong attorney Elliot Peters declined to reveal specifics of what was discussed in the seven-hour meeting on May 22 at a hotel outside Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C., but says Armstrong set up the meeting. Peters told The Associated Press on Thursday that ''Lance answered all their questions.'' The panel is expected to issue its report on doping to the International Cycling Union later this year. Peters says there was no request or offer to reduce Armstrong's lifetime ban from sport in exchange for the meeting. Armstrong was banned over his use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Nadal, Djokovic highlight US Open
Defending champion Rafael Nadal and top-ranked Novak Djokovic highlight the men's field at the 2014 U.S. Open. The United States Tennis Association said Thursday that Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Juan Martin del Potro and Lleyton Hewitt will also be among those who received direct entry into the hard-court Grand Slam tournament. Nadal will defend his title in the tournament that begins Aug. 25 in New York. Djokovic will put a streak of four straight appearances in the final on the line. Among Americans receiving direct entry were John Isner and Sam Querrey. The men's final is scheduled for Sept. 8.
Mona Barthel of Germany reached her second quarterfinals of the year when she beat qualifier Gabriela Dabrowski of Canada, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, at the Swedish Open. Barthel, chasing her third WTA title, will face Kaia Kanepi for the first time today. The Estonian defeated another qualifier, Richel Hogenkamp of the Netherlands, 6-3, 6-1, to play in her third quarters this season.
Laura Diaz shoots 62 in Marathon
Laura Diaz got off to a surprising start at the Marathon Classic in Sylvania, Ohio. Diaz shot a 9-under 62 for a four-stroke lead in Thursday's opening round. U.S. Open champion Michelle Wie shot a 2-over 73, 2008 Marathon winner Paula Creamer was at 72 along with another perennial contender at Highland Meadows, Morgan Pressel. The defending champion, Spain's Beatriz Recari, and the world's No. 1-ranked player, Stacy Lewis, a Toledo native, were well down the list at 1 under. Despite being winless in the past 12 years on the LPGA Tour, Diaz stunned the field by birdieing her first five holes in a round that included nine birdies and no bogeys. She made a 30-footer on her fifth hole, the 14th. Then she stepped back and enjoyed the moment.
In between his rounds Thursday at the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship, Michael Gellerman felt a little uncertain about his game. After beating Jon Veneziano, 3 and 2, later in the day, Gellerman was all smiles about making the quarterfinals an hour from his hometown of Sterling, Kansas. Two more wins Friday, and Gellerman, a senior at Oklahoma, will be playing for the title. ''It was a fun day, but it was also very intense, a grind all day long,'' Gellerman said. ''It's nice to play close to home because it gives me some sort of comfort. It's great to sleep in my own bed and eat my momma's cooking.'' Gellerman will face Floridian Robert Geibel in Friday's first quarterfinal. The second quarterfinal will pair Hawaii's John Oda with Doug Ghim of Illinois. Southern California's Rico Hoey, the Pac-12 freshman of the year, will face Jess Bonneau of Houston after that. And the final quarterfinal match pairs San Diego's Byron Meth, a co-medalist, with fellow Californian Bryson Dechambeau.
49ers open posh, high-tech stadium
San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York got a little teary on his drive to Levi's Stadium on Thursday. His voice cracked while talking about taking his young son to games at the stadium for years to come. Others had a different reaction upon walking into the building: Wow! With confetti streaming down under a blue sky, the 49ers officially opened the $1.2 billion stadium in Santa Clara with a ribbon-cutting ceremony complete with all the opulence of their new home. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, linebacker Patrick Willis and left tackle Joe Staley joined York and others on stage to cut the ribbons.

A song about cowboys started it all for Toby Keith in 1993, and now he's returning to that same theme for his lyric video for his latest single, "A Few More Cowboys." The single is the perfect mix of country pride and patriotism, true to Keith's signature style.
In the song, Keith sings about how the world would be a better place if we simply had "a few more cowboys." If that were the case, Keith sings there would "be be a lot less outlaws/With a few more amens, be a lot less bad calls."
Keith released a lyric video for the single on Thursday (August 18), which sends him galloping into the Wild West, among other places. The images that flash across the screen not only depict traditionally-dressed cowboys, horses, and Western scenes, but police officers, firefighters, and first responders...the modern day "cowboys."
The lyric video perfectly represents not just the lyrics themselves, but the deeper meaning behind "A Few More Cowboys." Fans have loved the song so far, and it hit the 47th spot on the Billboard Country Airplay chart.
If you haven't heard "A Few More Cowboys" yet, you need to right now. Check out the lyric video below.
Once this video gains traction, we won't be surprised if the song climbs even higher up the charts!

Kentucky Holds Off Tennessee, 64-63
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Makayala Epps put No. 12 Kentucky on her shoulders before teammates joined in a stirring comeback past 19th-ranked Tennessee.
The Wildcats then sweated through a late lull that gave the Lady Volunteers several chances to mount their own furious rally that fell just short because of a few bounces off the rim. All of which made the celebration by Kentucky players and fans even sweeter when the horn sounded on a hard-earned victory.
Epps scored 14 of her 23 points in the third period as the Kentucky women rallied from a 10-point deficit before holding off No. 19 Tennessee 64-63 on Monday night.
"We were down seven (at halftime) but we weren't deflated about it because we knew what we were doing wrong," said Epps, who scored 17 in the second half. "We made some changes at halftime and coach (Matthew Mitchell) told us to go out there and have fun - a lot of fun."
The Wildcats certainly weren't enjoying life in the first half.
Kentucky (15-3, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) looked down and out trailing 35-28 at the break before Epps shifted momentum by pushing a quicker tempo resulting in the Wildcats' first seven points of the period. She kept going to the basket to help Kentucky take a 49-44 lead into the fourth that reached 10 before a wild finish.
"Makayla really, really took over in the third quarter," Mitchell said. "That was a huge development for our team. ... I was proud of her in the second half. She played with a lot more confidence."
Tennessee (12-7, 3-3 SEC) stormed back within a basket several times thanks to Te'a Cooper, who made consecutive baskets and had a chance to tie the game with 10.7 seconds left. But she made just one of two free throws, about 20 seconds after Andraya Carter also missed one of two and committed a foul in a scramble for the rebound.
Two missed free throws by Kentucky's Batouly Camara with four seconds left gave Tennessee another opportunity, but the final horn sounded before Cooper could get off a final shot that hit the rim.
"I thought I had enough time but obviously I didn't," said Cooper, who had 18 points. "I was trying to draw a foul and get the shot off but it didn't work."
Kentucky's Janee Thompson added 15 points including five points down the stretch that proved critical as the Wildcats missed shots and continuously gave Tennessee opportunities. But Kentucky survived to end a four-game slide against the Lady Vols.
Diamond DeShields added 13 and Mercedes Russell 12 for Tennessee, which led by as many as 10 before going cold in the pivotal third period.
Kentucky gained a hard-earned victory despite 36 percent shooting overall. But the Wildcats committed just 10 turnovers - which Mitchell described as "walking on water" - while forcing the Lady Vols in 21 that led to 18 points.
Tennessee made 23 of 55 (42 percent) and outrebounded the Wildcats 41-38 but lost for the third time in four games.
"I thought we had great looks," Tennessee coach Holly Warlick said. "I thought we were going to win the basketball game. We had our chances. We had great shots. We had great looks. We didn't knock them down."

Painted palm trees arc cross a dark-blue sky in minaret-shaped frames, and exposed rafters high above the dining room evoke the feeling of an outdoor meal along the Mediterranean. The kitchen matches the dining room's traditional touches with a flame-fired oven that bakes fresh pita bread to order and crackling wooden embers that give kabobs their rich, smoky flavors. Guests also share small plates of hot and cold mezza, such as falafel and tabbouleh, as the light from ornate chandeliers casts freeform shadow puppets against linen-covered tables.

You might think that Selfridges is the last place you'd go to relax - with its frenzied shopping floors and multi-sensory in-store services, but if anyone can created a sanctuary in a busy department store, Cowshed can. In the little ground floor axis between the food hall and street fashion where once was Groom, the popular brand set up by the Soho House group has set up shed, and it's just lovely. Strangely quiet, considering the surroundings, the little spa offers customers the chance to step away from the shopping madness for some relaxation and pampering time. The space boasts four manicure and pedicure comfy armchair stations, complete with individual TVs and headphones, so you can really shut out the racket from the rest of the store. Tucked away at the back are two treatment rooms, decked out in Cowshed's clean and simple style- think shed-like wooden panelling. But no hay. On offer are the usual grooming suspects -– massages, waxing, facials—but they're done using Cowshed's natural, therapeutic products, which are based on several moods - from "grumpy" to "wild", although there doesn't seem to be a "Laughing Cow" range – funny that.

I was really excited for my treatments in the cowshed as I have heard great things. I got a speedy manicure and a speedy pedicure. I had two bail technicians one for my hands and one for my feet. The lady that did my toes was amazing she was really thorough and did a great job. The lady who did my hands on the other hand was messy and did not do as good of a job. She did not seem to have the attention to detail as the lady doing my toes. She put too much nail polish on my nails and when she put the top coat on she missed the sides on the majority of my nails which is very noticeable. I did not expect from a spa in selfridges and would consider about returning. Overall the experience was good and it was very relaxing but they need better nail technicians.

Today, the crazy son of a bitch who lives next door to me once again got into a loud, rather one-sided argument with his cat. 20 minutes later, he knocked on my door, asking if he could stay at my place for a couple of days. The look he gave me when I said no has me fearing for my life. FML
Today, after years of training and competing, I realized that the universe does not want me to play the piano. Not only do I have hands that can fit in toddler-sized gloves, my carpal tunnel is already to the point where I have to wear a brace at night, at the ripe old age of 14. FML
Today, while getting ready to go to bed, I told my boyfriend that I feel depressed due to the lack of intimacy in our relationship. His response was to roll over, fall asleep, and send a deadly fart my way. FML
Today, I sat awkwardly and pretended like I didn't notice my cousin discreetly trying to masturbate while talking to me. This isn't the first time anything like this has happened. FML

Nokia has unveiled the Nokia 6212 Classic, its first commercially available handset to feature integrated Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. With NFC on board, the handset allows consumers to share content, access services and information make payments with a tap of the device. The Nokia 6212 Classic is a 3G phone which is expected to start shipping in the third quarter of 2008 in select markets in Europe and Asia with an estimated retail price of EUR 200 before taxes and subsidies. "NFC-capable handsets such as the Nokia 6212 classic are set to change the way mobile phone users interact with devices and services in their surroundings," says Jeremy Belostock, the Head of Near Field Communications, Nokia. "With the Nokia 6212 classic, people can swap items like business cards or calendar notes by simply tapping their handsets together. With ever-increasing device functions and services available, ease-of-use is essential. One way to keep things simple is NFC." Nokia says that Near Field Communication is designed for secure interaction between electronic devices. By tapping an NFC-enabled tag, consumers can receive new content such as weblinks, audio files or contact data directly to their phone. They can activate a profile in their handset or open applications such as FM radio or web browser. Photos and videos can be easily shared by tapping another NFC-capable phone and pairing with a Bluetooth NFC-enabled device. The phone can also be used like a virtual travelcard and wallet to make mobile payments. Travel tickets are charged over the air and users can store their credit card information on the device and access their account online directly from the handset.
Nokia says that using the Nokia 6212 for payment and ticketing purposes requires a service subscription and the installation of an appropriate secure application. Security for transactions is assured as the handset can be set to allow payment only when the user expressly authorizes the transaction via an additional passcode. The Nokia 6212 classic allows consumers to personalize and edit their own NFC tags, be it for writing calendar entries or setting the alarm clock. The sales pack of the Nokia 6212 classic comes with three sticker tags, one of which opens the NFC introduction in the phone.
The Nokia 6212 classic boasts a 2 megapixel camera, bright 2-inch QVGA display, stereo FM radio and music player supporting multiple formats, plus a microSD card for expanding the phone's memory.

I was disappionted that we could not get any closer. It reads like we can go inside...
Food and entertainment where Excellent!
I thought it would be more. We just went up to the Fern Grotto, but there wasn't much to see on the way up, and it was only the one thing to view. I found it a little expensive for what it was.
great event
I thought the Luau portion of the combo tour was excellent. But, the riverboat cruise to the fern grotto was misleading. They didn't tell anyone that you could no longer walk through the Fern Grotto until we were all gathered on a platform close by the grotto. So there was very little to see. I had gone before when you could walk through and I had told my companions how wonderful it was going to be. I think they tried to make up for it by having Hawaiian musicans play, but it was basically a 15 min cruise back and forth for almost $50!
Enjoy a Hawaiian lei greeting at your arrival. Luau show includes a spectacular ceremony in a torch-lit Lagoon Amphitheater along the famous Wailua River! The hypnotic presentation of the Luau ceremony begins with the traditional blowing of the conch shell and torch lighting. Then dramatically, Pele, Goddess of Fire and Volcano, emerges out of the darkness from atop a lava flowing mountain, to tell her story. The dances that follow acknowledge all the Golden People of Hawaii, including dances from Tahiti, Hawaii, Philippines, New Zealand and Samoa. This is truly an unforgettable performance!
Guests are welcome to gather around as we unearth the Kalua Puaa (roast pork) from the traditional underground oven (imu), where it has been cooking since early morning.
Menu Garden Isle Green Salad, Poi, Three Bean Salad, Jello, Oriental Fried Rice, Kalua Pig, Teriyaki Beef, Abodo Chicken, Sweet Sour Mahimahi, Macaroni Salad, Namasu Salad, Lomi Salmon, assorted fresh fruits, assorted breads/butter, Snowflake Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, hot vegetable of the day, Coconut Cake, Haupia, Rice Pudding, coffee/punch.
Location: Kapaa/Wailua River
Check-in: Gardens open at 4:45pm
Imu Ceremony: Begins 5:45pm
Cocktails & Music: Begin 6:15pm. Mai tais, beer, wine, standard bar drinks and soft drinks are available throughout the dinner hour.
Duration: 6:15pm - 9:00pm

Take an enchanting cruise on Hawaii's only navigable river to Kauai's magical Fern Grotto. Enjoy Hawiian history, flora and music along the way. The river winds its way through dense, tropical flora and past areas rich in the history and legends of old Hawaii before arriving at the famous Fern Grotto itself, a lava rock grotto covered with ferns.
The Wailua area itself was once royal grounds in the olden days, and boat operators will share their fascinating stories while family members entertain guests with Hawaiian songs. The destination of the cruise is the famous Fern Grotto, a lava rock grotto covered with tropical ferns. At the grotto, you will be serenaded by Hawaiian musicians playing traditional, local songs. In this beautiful, tropical jungle setting, nature has formed a natural amphitheatre with acoustics that are remarkable.

Study abroad in Boston
Study English in Boston, an attractive city on the banks of the Charles River in Massachusetts.
Boston is one of the oldest cities in America and, meaning it is full of historical sites and great museums. The city was founded in 1630 and later played an important role in the American Revolution. The city's four kilometer-long Freedom Trail, a path which passes 16 places of historical significance, is a fantastic place to learn about this part of the city's history.
The city is the home of some of the most important universities in the USA including Harvard and MIT. The city's students give Boston a vibrant, young atmosphere and the innovative approaches for which these institutions are famous are reflected in Boston's beautiful architecture and thriving arts scene. The city is also well-known for sports, with locals passionate about the city's teams including the Celtics (basketball), the Bruins (hockey) and the New England Patriots (American football). Furthermore, many runners know the city because of the famous Boston Marathon, which is held every April on Patriots' Day and attracts around half a million spectators.
The cuisine in Boston is focused on seafood, with local specialties including lobster, oysters, cod and chowder. The best place to try local specialties is in the Seaport District, where there is a lovely view of the harbor. Other great neighborhoods to explore include upper class Beacon Hill, the Italian influenced North End and Victorian Back Bay. For a day out of the city bustle, head to Boston Harbor Islands for a long walk, some kayaking or a spot of fishing.
Being the home to some incredible academic institutions and known for its scholarly environment, Boston is a fantastic place to study English. The Boston accent is very similar to the standard American accent that is used throughout TV and films, so students will find it easy to communicate and understand the locals from the very beginning of their stay.

Red Nose
How to prevent: Blood vessels dilate when the temperature drops―the reason many people get flushed noses after romping outside. Since sun exposure can also cause redness, wear plenty of SPF 30 sunblock, even in the dead of winter. Try Kiehl's Sun Protection Lotion SPF 30 ($19.50, kiehls.com). Wear a ski mask when outdoors for prolonged periods. "It's best to create a physical barrier," Felderman says.
How to treat: Flushed features should fade soon after you come indoors. To speed up the process, apply a warm―not hot―compress to the skin for a few minutes.
When to see a professional: If redness persists―especially if it's accompanied by whiteheads or visible blood vessels―seek medical treatment for rosacea, a form of acne. A dermatologist can prescribe antibiotics or perform a laser treatment to reduce the appearance of blood vessels or redness.
