Free GIS datasets SIG Politique de la Ville How to Use Google Search More Effectively [INFOGRAPHIC] Among certain circles (my family, some of my coworkers, etc.) I'm known for my Googling skills. I can find anything, anywhere, in no time flat. My Google-fu is a helpful skill, but not one that's shrouded in too much mystery — I've just mastered some very helpful search tricks and shortcuts and learned to quickly identify the best info in a list of results.

That search process also included determining when to rely on Google and when to utilize scholarly databases, but on a fundamental level, it appears that many people just don't understand how to best find the information they seek using Google.

Digital aerial images from kites or balloons How do I get the camera airborne? Now that you have your camera ready, you need a way to get it up in the air. There are 4 options I’m going to chat about: hot air balloons, hydrogen balloons, helium balloons and kites.

Believe it or not, they actually work; in fact they can be big enough to lift people ( Hydrogen balloons: (don’t even go down this road). Helium Balloons: Now this is the way to go. Kites: These work great when you have steady wind.
