14 Google Search Tricks That Make Life A Whole Lot Easier
You think you know how to Google? You don't know how to Google.
Even the most seasoned Googler might not know every tip and trick available with just a few extra keystrokes in the search bar. Consider this your instructions manual for the world's most popular search engine.
Define A Word
The Scenario: You're playing Scrabble and some dumb-dumb says, "Hey, 'panacea' isn't a word!"The Solution: Just type "define:" followed by the word you want and Google will take you straight to the definition. Use the time you save to make smarter friends.
Search For Words In Exact Order
The Scenario: You want to find out the origin of a quote, but Google keeps giving results that are nowhere close.The Solution: Put your search phrase inside quotation marks.
Search For Related Words
The Scenario: You want to search for "alternative energy." But you know that phrase has a number of synonyms, like "renewable energy," and you want to search for all of them.The Solution: Put the worm-like tilde (~) in front of the search term for which you would like related results.
Exclude Certain Words
The Scenario: You want bread recipes that don't list "yeast" as an ingredient.The Solution: After you enter your desired search terms, add a minus sign (-) followed by the words you want excluded.
Search Within A Range Of Prices
The Scenario: You want to research digital cameras that fall within a certain price range.The Solution: First type in your term. Then separate the lowest and highest prices you're willing to pay with two periods (..). This trick also works for dates, if you're, say, looking for a news article published during a certain time.
Search Within A Website
The Scenario: You read an interesting article about Nelson Mandela on The Huffington Post, but you don't have the link and you can't remember the article's name or its author.The Solution: Type "site:" followed by the URL of the website you'd like to search. Then add your search terms.
Fill In The Blanks
The Scenario: You once heard that mixing Pop Rocks with _________ would result in _______, but you can't remember what either of those two blanks are.The Solution: Enter your search terms using asterisks as stand-ins for the unknowns. Google will fill in the blanks with possibilities.
Search By File Type
The Scenario: You have to do a PowerPoint presentation on 1920s slang, either because you're still in college or you live in Brooklyn, and you want to see how others have done it.The Solution: Search by file type to find other PowerPoints. Enter your search terms followed by "filetype:PPT."
Set A Timer
The Scenario: Your brain is fried and you want to take a break on YouTube. You also want to make sure you don't get sucked down the rabbit hole.The Solution: Type "set timer for" into the search bar and a Google timer will appear as the first result. Enter the time you want in hours, minutes or seconds and start the timer. Google will start beeping at you when your time runs out.
Do Math
The Scenario: You're terrible at math. Like, really bad at it. Or you're pretty good at math but have a really complicated problem to solve.The Solution: To the chagrin of your math teacher, you can type in an equation and Google will give you the answer on its calculator. That's right, Mr. Campisano: I didn't need Algebra II after all.
Convert Currency
The Scenario: You're planning a trip to Thailand but have zero idea how far your American dollars will get you.The Solution: Type in the name of the currency you currently own, add "to" and then type in the name of the currency you need to get.
Find A GIF
The Scenario: You know the exact GIF you need to send to your friend. But how do you find it?The Solution: Go to Google Images. Click "Search tools" and then "Type." Then check off "Animated." Prepare to impress.
Search By Title
The Scenario: You want to search for a photo of the sexiest man alive when he was in his prime. To be specific, you want to find Joe Biden's yearbook photo.The Solution: Type "intitle:" then the term you want. This will ensure the specified term is in the title of all the webpages in your results.
Make Google Flip Out
The Scenario: You want to freak out a friend.The Solution: Type "do a barrel roll" and hit enter.

Apple’s ‘Healthbook’ will finally debut as part of iOS 8 this Monday
Image Credit: Todd Hamilton
Apple will put on its big show at its world wide developers conference on Monday, and you can expect it to take the opportunity to introduce its long-rumored health and fitness app and platform, “Healthbook.”The announcement will be both more and less than the rumored “iWatch” wearable product announcement many Apple fans have been expecting. Less, because we don’t expect Apple to introduce any hardware on Monday. More, because Healthbook will likely be far more than just a device or an app — it will be a whole system for integrating health and fitness data across Apple’s product lines, complete with long-term trending and charting of your health and fitness progress.
“Over the next year it’s likely that they’ll be introducing a biosensing wearable as well as the Healthbook platform,” says Halle Tecco, the CEO and co-founder of the digital health startup accelerator Rock Health. “For next week, it’s probably just the platform. We are excited about both / either products, because having a company like Apple in healthcare can really help move the industry forward.”
For about six months now, market watchers have been wondering when Apple will officially dip its toe into the health and fitness monitoring market. Many have speculated that a new iWatch wearable (if it ever comes) would be packed with ways to track your steps, workouts, stress levels, and a host of other body metrics.
Other rumors have suggested an app, rather than a device, will be Apple’s focus.
The rumored app, often called “Healthbook,” might keep tabs on vitals such as weight, heart rate, sleep, and nutrition. It may also track more clinical things like blood work, blood pressure, hydration, blood sugar, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation.
Several experts I talked with believe Apple will introduce some kind of health platform — fronted by a nifty app in iOS — this Monday. That platform could be followed by a health sensing device, like an iWatch, later on.
“I do suspect that they will announce Healthbook as a part of iOS 8, but I don’t believe they will release any kind of hardware device,” says Gartner lead Apple analyst Van Baker.
I believe this is true, for two reasons.
Samsung’s competitive position
First, Samsung has played its health card this week, and, like last year’s introduction of Samsung’s first Galaxy Gear smartwatch, it seemed a little rushed.Samsung held its “Voice of the Body” event in San Francisco this week, in which it announced the outlines of a new cloud-based, API-based health platform (called “SAMI) into which a variety of consumer health monitoring devices could report. Samsung also announced a new device, sort of: It trotted out the reference design for a new health wearable called Simband, which contains a bunch of cool sensors in the band and displays body metrics in real time on the front.
But the whole thing seemed a little half-baked to me. Simband is not actually a product you can buy. Samsung had no new hardware to show, no mobile health services — just plans for the future. Could it be that Samsung hurried to hold its big health show this week as a way preempting a health-related announcement (or announcements) next week at WWDC? This kind of public relations gaming has certainly happened before, and I think it might be happening now.
“Apple’s proposed HealthBook and iWatch, and Samsung’s ‘SAMI’ and ‘Simband’ are great starts at aggregating data from proprietary and 3rd party devices and apps into an easier to absorb presentation layer,” says Jim Bloedau of the Information Advantage Group, a San Francisco consultancy that helps startup enter the health market.
“This is just the beginning. When we combine this with the ‘lab on a chip’ technology that proteomics is starting to promise, and the cloud, we will have an ecosystem that will allow us to detect sooner the sentinel signs of bad health and avoid cataclysmic health events like heart attacks and cancer,” Bloedau says.
Samsung may have rushed its announcement because it had intelligence about Apple’s WWDC plans.
But now that Samsung’s half-baked announcement is out, Apple has even less reason to rush.
Apple’s preferred strategy
The second reason involves timing. Apple likes to jump into markets that already have some maturity and experience. The personal health wearable thing has been going on for more than a year now. Despite a recall last quarter, FitBit is selling a ton of its fitness devices. Samsung is rapidly gaining experience building and integrating the devices, and its products are getting better.Talk about the iWatch or some other health wearable has been going on for at least a year. I’m convinced that Apple has indeed been working on something for many months.
Gartner’s Baker has another take on the timing issue.
“I think the reason you’ll see Apple announce this now is that they want developers to create apps that feed into the Healthbook repository,” Baker says. “Apple put out Healthbook now and see what the analysts bring to the table.”
The real question is about how expansive Apple’s digital health plans will be. Sure, the consumer-facing stuff is going to be beautiful an highly functional, but will my health provider be able to access my health data on the back end?
And if so, how will Apple handle the wide variety of regulatory requirements that come into play when working with health providers? HIPAA rules — which ensure patient privacy — will demand a high degree of security and many protocols around who gets to access what data. The potential payoff for Apple could be huge, but that also may be more complexity than a consumer tech company wants to get into.
So the scope of an Apple digital health announcement could be very narrow or very wide. At the very least I expect to see Healthbook announced as a new part of iOS, as well as a cloud service for storing and crunching certain types of personal health data. At the very most we’ll see an all inclusive API-based ecosystem that invites participation from non-Apple apps and devices, and also loops in doctors, health plans and health care providers.

Why You Should Choose Sprinting Over Jogging for Greater Gains
https://www.onnit.com/academy/why-you-should-choose-sprinting-over-jogging-for-greater-gains/?a_aid=aad&utm_content=buffer4c824&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer
The trend to use long steady-state runs to train for sports and to get in shape continues to this day. It is true that one can get in shape from jogging, but you will be conditioned to run long and slow. The problem is that most sports fall in the middle between absolute strength and endurance; if we only train the endurance end of the spectrum, then the burst of speed and quickness may not be there when you need it most.
A study by Hunter et al. found that four weeks of repeated sprint training increased peak running speed and repeated effort sprints. Simply stated; if you need to express a physical attribute, then that attribute needs to be trained; therefore, if you want to get fast then you must sprint. Most athletes would be better off focusing less on the seven mile runs and concentrate on training the energy systems needed for competition; the bottom line is that athletes need less jogging and more sprinting.
Sprint training not only increases your speed, power, and preparation for the physical demands of sports and military preparation, but it can also have metabolic ad- vantages when trained properly. In a recent study in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition, Exercise and Metabolism, the researchers found that 2-minute sprint interval sessions done 3 times a week for 6 weeks elicited the same fat burning effects as a session of 30 minutes of endurance exercise.
If fat burning is the goal for your training, it is more efficient to move faster in less time to get the same affect of longer cardio sessions. I say it is time to get back to the basics and call upon the strengths of the athletes of the Ancient world where sprinting dominated. It is time to start sprinting in order to achieve greatness like the athletes and soldiers of Ancient Greece.
Performing a dynamic warm up consisting of mobility exercises, skips and light runs will warm the body up and minimize injuries. The sprints do not have to be 100 percent of your maximum running speed. Many times I either build my speed up during the runs or adjust my effort in accordance to the distance; the shorter the distance the faster I run.
Lastly, where recovery is concerned it is best to only perform sprint workouts 1-2 times a week with a few days rest in-between sessions. The sessions themselves should not be too long on time or distance. I usually perform about one mile of sprints in total and it can last anywhere from 15-40 minutes. Below are some of my favorite sprint training routines.
A1. 200 meters – 3 rounds @70-75% – walk what you ran for rest
B1. 100 meters – 6 rounds @80-85% – walk what you ran for rest
C1. 50 meters – 3 rounds @100% – walk what you ran for rest
A1. 200 meters – 5-6 rounds – 30 sec rest
B1. 100 meters – 5-6 rounds – 60 sec rest
A1. 200 meter run – build
A2. Bodyweight Squats – 25 reps
A3. 200 meter run – build
A4. Push Ups – 20 reps
A5. 200 meter run – build
A6. Sit Outs – 1o reps (each side)
A7. 200 meter run – build
A8. Shoulder Roll to Hip Ups – 10 reps (each side)
A9. 200 meter run – build
A10. Forward Roll to Stand – 15 reps
Benefits of Sprint Training
In ancient times, sprinting was a way of life and a staple in training protocols. As the centuries progressed, we began to favor dialing down the speed and increasing the distance. Jogging originated in the mid-17th century and became progressively more popular during the 1960’s and 70’s. Jogging gained notoriety when boxers made it a staple during their training camps and from there it quickly sprouted out to other athletes and weekend warriors alike.The trend to use long steady-state runs to train for sports and to get in shape continues to this day. It is true that one can get in shape from jogging, but you will be conditioned to run long and slow.

Setting up your Sprint Program
When setting up your sprint programs it is important to ease into it if you are not familiar to this type of training. Sprinting requires much more force production from the muscles and if they are not used to this type of training it is very easy to pull a hip flexor or hamstring muscle. In sprinting you also produce more force into the ground therefore more force will return from the ground and back through the body which places greater stress throughout the bones and joints. Sprinting too much too soon may cause aches in the hips, knees and ankles. Sprints do not need to be performed on a hard track surface. Many times I do my sprints on grass or a turf field to minimize the pounding of my joints.Performing a dynamic warm up consisting of mobility exercises, skips and light runs will warm the body up and minimize injuries. The sprints do not have to be 100 percent of your maximum running speed. Many times I either build my speed up during the runs or adjust my effort in accordance to the distance; the shorter the distance the faster I run.
Lastly, where recovery is concerned it is best to only perform sprint workouts 1-2 times a week with a few days rest in-between sessions. The sessions themselves should not be too long on time or distance. I usually perform about one mile of sprints in total and it can last anywhere from 15-40 minutes. Below are some of my favorite sprint training routines.
Basic Sprint Routine
In this routine you will start with the longest distance and move down to shorter distances. As the distances decrease, your speed in the runs will increase (I put percentages of running speed for the distances in the chart). I prefer either a walk or light jog of the same distance for your recovery.A1. 200 meters – 3 rounds @70-75% – walk what you ran for rest
B1. 100 meters – 6 rounds @80-85% – walk what you ran for rest
C1. 50 meters – 3 rounds @100% – walk what you ran for rest
Sprint Conditioning Routine
This session looks easy on paper but it is a tough challenge. You will run 200 meters, rest 30 seconds then run a 100 meter run, rest 60 seconds and then repeat the round for a total of 5-6 rounds. The speed is whatever you can handle. I usually build them up so I am running the second half faster than the first.A1. 200 meters – 5-6 rounds – 30 sec rest
B1. 100 meters – 5-6 rounds – 60 sec rest
Sprint & Bodyweight Circuit
There are days when I want to run sprints but I focus more on conditioning than speed. On these days I build my run speed up and add some bodyweight exercises in-between. Below is an example of the sprint and bodyweight com- bi-nation circuit I like to perform. Feel free to substitute different run distances and bodyweight drills.A1. 200 meter run – build
A2. Bodyweight Squats – 25 reps
A3. 200 meter run – build
A4. Push Ups – 20 reps
A5. 200 meter run – build
A6. Sit Outs – 1o reps (each side)
A7. 200 meter run – build
A8. Shoulder Roll to Hip Ups – 10 reps (each side)
A9. 200 meter run – build
A10. Forward Roll to Stand – 15 reps

The Most Common Languages Spoken in the U.S. After English and Spanish
1Expand
What's
the language that the most Americans speak after English? As you'd
probably guess, the second-most common language spoken in the U.S. is
Spanish. But if you look at the most common languages after English and Spanish, the results get a little more surprising, especially when you parse them by state.
Using data from the American Community Survey
conducted by the Census Bureau, where respondents were asked to list
the languages spoken in their household, Ben Blatt from Slate made maps
of the most commonly spoken language in each state.
2Expand
Spanish
blankets the country except for two French areas: in a handful of
states near the Canadian border and Louisiana. Yupik, a Native American
language, is the second-most spoken language in Alaska, and Tagalog is
popular in Hawaii thanks to the large Filipino population. Now keep your
eye on that German-speaking pocket in North Dakota.
If
we remove Spanish from the mix, we start to see some truly surprising
trends. All sorts of ethnic, immigration, and cultural patterns start to
reveal themselves. You can see more Native American languages like
Navajo and Dakota, lots of Korean and Vietnamese states, and plenty of
our original Colonial Era holdouts: Italian, French, Portuguese. Then
there are some outliers like Russian, Arabic, Hmong, and French Creole.
And I don't think I would have guessed Tagalog would be the third-most
spoken language in California.
The
most shocking fact to me was seeing all the households that speak
German—I can't say it's a language I hear hardly anywhere except when I
travel to Europe. However, the prevalence of all those German-speaking
states doesn't mean that German is the third most-spoken language by
Americans. The third-most spoken language in the U.S. overall? Chinese.
Check out the story for plenty more language-based maps. [Slate]
