13 Hacks to Improve Your Google Search

13 Hacks to Improve Your Google Search
Even the king of all search engines can be throttled up with a few simple tricks. From finding flights to discovering new music, here are 13 ways to hack Google. Ever since the Internet's dozens of Web crawlers (AltaVista, anyone?) Type in “set timer for” followed by a number of minutes, or a specific hour you’d like an alert, and Google will graciously comply with an obnoxious beeping once the moment has arrived. Sometimes a memory lapse leaves you searching for the right word. To encompass a wider definition than you’re currently searching for, add a “~” in front of the word, and Google will pull up results from similar terms as well. Instead of slogging through your airline’s website, just type in your flight number and get an easy look at all the important stuff: flight status, times, terminal, and gate. For a search you want specifically from a certain site, just type your term and then “site:” with the desired outlet. Just like Siri, Google responds well to questions. Related:  Useful

I hope you’re OK with that. I know that you will enjoy in this amazing food tricks. Coffitivity DIY Dry Shampoo for Light or Dark Hair Dry shampoos have been all the rage among some of my friends lately, and I can understand why… A product that makes your hair look clean when it hasn’t been washed in the past three days that day is a tremendous help, especially for those of us with little ones who are lucky if we get to use the bathroom alone, much less shower every day… Dry shampoos are also great if you’re switching to “no-poo” or homemade natural shampoo , which will often leave your hair oily for the first week or so while your scalp adjusts to not having its natural oils stripped each day. Personally, I have naturally oily hair even when I don’t strip the oils, so I am a huge fan of dry shampoo. (On the upside, relatives with the same naturally oily hair haven’t started going gray until their 60s or 70s, so I have that going for me…) A wet-dry shampoo uses the same concept, but puts the oil absorbing substance in a quickly evaporating liquid like vodka or rubbing alcohol (or Rum if you like to smell like a pirate…)

tueursenserie.org Les professionnels du profilage criminel ont à relever un véritable défi. Alors que les crimes violents augmentent, les profilers usent de toutes les ressources disponibles pour arrêter les agresseurs. L’une de ces ressources est la victime du crime. La réponse repose dans une technique appelée "victimologie". La victimologie en elle-même est un domaine bien plus large, mais une certaine approche de la victime et du crime (psychologique, criminelle, clinique, etc.) peut permettre de créer une image mentale assez exacte de l’agresseur. Introduction Entre 1989 et 1993, dans la province australienne de Nouvelle Galles du Sud, une douzaine de jeunes touristes disparurent le long d’une des plus grandes autoroutes du pays. Ivan Milat Malgré ces différences, toutes les victimes partageaient une caractéristique commune : elles étaient toutes auto-stoppeuses et "routardes ". On relie à la victimologie les concepts de "méthode d’approche" "méthode d’attaque" "évaluation du risque" La victimologie Santé

20 essential PC shortcuts I've always liked that Windows gives me multiple ways to perform popular tasks. Say you want to print something. You could go to the File menu and select the Print command, or you can press the Ctrl button and the letter P. Ctrl+P is just one example of a keyboard shortcut. Shortcuts combine two or more keys to do something special that neither key does alone. I prefer to use shortcuts whenever possible. Get to know the basics There are certain shortcuts I use all day, every day.
