Using search engine gateway smarter to find your information
Today, I want to share with you how I use search engine gateway to find information. For those of you who know the term "search engine gateway" for the first time, I strongly recommend you to read the article "What is search engine gateway?" I wrote before and go to Navino's website to see how it works.
Put it in simple, by adding a short search name, which represents one website, before the search keywords, I can search hundreds of search engines with just one search box. Search engine gateway gets the search name information and forwards me to the pre-defined search engine. For example, Navino defines "b" as Google's blog search engine. So if I want to search something on "Linux", I just use "b Linux" in my search box and the search gateway would forward me to Google's blog search engine with the keyword "Linux".
Navino has already defined some search names for most popular search engines. These search engines are assigned with one-letter search names for easy use. Some of them are Google, Yahoo's stock information, Weather.com's weather information, and dictionary.com's dictionary search. Navino also allows you to recommend search names for some websites, but those search names are required to be approved for wide public interesting only.
Sometimes, a few search engines I want to use are not in Navino's public search name database. Therefore, Navino also allows me to define private search names for personal use only. These search names are not required to be approved and can be used immediately after define.
One more trick when I use search engine gateway is, I define private search names as a shortcut to my favorite websites. For example, I defined "h" for Hotmail.com. When I want to check my email, I just put "h" in the search box and the gateway will forward me accordingly to the hotmail website.
I hope this article can help you to use search engine gateway better and smarter. And I also want to hear from you about your story how to use search engine gateway in the near future. Enjoy!

Reading, Your Key To Technology
We live in a great day and age. Information is readily available at all times. We have cable TV, radio, computer applications and the Internet. We're experiencing information overload most of the time.
Unfortunately, some people are not able to take advantage of the benefits of the Information age. The reasons may range from lack of access to an inability to use information literacy tools. And some people are not interested in the benefits of technology and information.
However, there is only one real barrier to taking advantage of the information age. The irony is most people impose the barrier on themselves. Yes, it is true.
There is one fundamental skill needed to take advantage of all the information around us. Everyone has the skill in varying degrees. The skill is reading. Yes, reading is the only mandatory skill needed to take advantage of the information age. How else can one assimilate all the knowledge available to us?
Now, let's consider why people don't realize reading is their barrier to the information age. The simple answer would be the reason why they are reading. There are two main reasons why people read. The reasons are for pleasure and work.
People read for pleasure and leisure. There are thousands of books published every year on a multitude of topics. The book stores are full of books and magazines. You can read fiction and or non-fiction. The thing about doing anything for pleasure and leisure is you get to it when you can. And there is nothing wrong with that.
People read work related material. There is email, reports, and paperwork of all kinds to be read. And much of this reading can be tedious and boring. Work related reading can cause fatigue and negatively impact reading for any other reason. Outside of the regular reading material for work there are trade journals and magazines to be read. Truly, this kind of reading is enjoyable but your employer may not allot time for it on the clock.
You need to be aware of another kind of reading. This kind of reading will allow you to take advantage of the information age. You should be reading for expert knowledge. Now reading for expert knowledge is not quite the same as reading for leisure or for the job. Reading for expert knowledge has a different end result. The end result of reading for knowledge is to become an authority on a topic. When you read this way, you are reading to gain insights, skills, tips, hints, tricks of the trade, and an insider's working knowledge of a topic.
When you read this way, you systematically read trade journals and magazines, articles, and books for a specific period of time. You may read about one topic for a year and then move on to a related topic. Or you may read several books on one topic over a long weekend. Read several authors with opposing views to get a sound overview of any subject or topic. Find other media and opportunities to supplement your quest for expert knowledge. In no time, you will discover that you know more about your topic than the average Joe.
So, how else can you benefit from reading? Reading will give you ideals. Reading will challenge your views, and expose your biases and prejudices. Reading will introduce you to new people and places. Reading will inspire you. Reading will tickle you. Reading will make you change your ways. Reading will tug on your heart strings. Reading will give you many hours of enjoyment. And by the way, reading will make you smart.

Head Lice Myths
Head lice are one of the most commonly misunderstood topics today. There are several myths about head lice, some of them may have a thread of truth to them, but most are simply widespread misunderstandings.
- Head lice can jump from person to person: This is untrue; head lice cannot jump or fly. They spread through direct contact, or indirectly by means of personal items such as hat, combs, brushes etc.
- It is absolutely necessary to use a pesticide in my house to rid it of head lice: Though you can choose to do this if you want, it really is not necessary and not recommended. Head lice can only live for about 2 to 3 days when they are not on a human host. If there happens to be lice eggs on carpet or furniture, when they hatch they will have to feed within a short period of time or they will die. Vacuum the carpet and furniture, and then concentrate on bedding, clothes, combs, brushes and stuffed animals.
- You can treat a head lice infestation with petroleum jelly: Though a petroleum jelly may smother lice, it will not kill the nits, or lice eggs. In addition, it is very hard to remove it from the hair.
- It is necessary to shave the hair when treating for head lice: It is true that this will help to more easily treat for head lice, but it can be a traumatic experience, especially for children. Of course this is much more true for girls than boys, but a boy may not like his head shaved either. The better option is to treat the condition, and carefully remove all the nits with a specially designed nit removal comb.
- You can use gasoline or kerosene to kill head lice: CAUTION: This is not only an extremely ineffective means of trying to treat head lice; it also does not work. You should never use gasoline or kerosene on any part of the body as the fumes are combustible and may cause injury or death. Many children have been hurt or killed when parents try to use this form of treatment.
- Lice can transmit disease: Though head lice are an uncomfortable and embarrassing condition, it has few risks. The danger is in a rash or lacerations on the scalp due to scratching that may become infected.
- Clean people do not get head lice: This is completely untrue. Anyone can catch head lice, no matter how clean they are. In fact, head lice prefer a clean, healthy scalp, but it matters little to these tiny insects whose head they infest.
To properly combat head lice, you need to know the facts. Learn as much as you can about head lice infestation and you will be better prepared if one of your children comes home with these little pests.
