15 tips to find exactly what you want on Google
Use these examples from his lessons to learn how to filter and focus your search results to get the answers you want.
You're probably not using Google to its full advantage. Although everyone knows how to search for something, there are a few quick tips that can help you get the exact results you're looking for, faster.
Google offers a "Power Searching" class and we took it so you don't have to. In the class, Dr Dan Russell, a research scientist at Google guides you through different lessons. Use these examples from his lessons to learn how to filter and focus your search results to get the answers you want.
See 15 easy tips for finding exactly what you want on Google:
1. First, let's start with some basic search features that you can use to get information you need really, really quickly.
* Type "movies" followed by a town or city to pull up a list of movies that are showing locally.
* Google "capital of" followed by any city to get a bolded answer.
* If you search "weather" followed by a city or a zip code, youll get the latest forecast.
* If you search a flight code — say Hawaiian Airlines 24 — youll get instant flight information.
* Try searching "time in Singapore" or any other city.
* Make conversions simple by searching something like "300 yards in miles" or "212F in C."
2. As usual, you might be able to find an Easter egg or two.

3. Now for some ways to filter your results. Google has a set of "operators" that you can add to your search to give it special instructions.

4. You can search within specific websites by using the operator "site: " For example, "site: timesofindia.indiatimes.com" will only search through TOI's archives.

5. You can also narrow down results by searching top-level domains like ".gov" for government sites, ".edu" for educational sites, or country codes like ".in" for Indian sites.

6. The operator "filetype:" is also useful. For example, you could narrow your results to only include PDFs.

7. Or if you're doing a research project and want to find data to download and work with, you could try searching for "filetype:csv" like in the example below (CSV stands for "comma separated values").

8. If you want to search for a specific phrase, put all the words together in quotes.

9. Say you're looking for results about something that has several different synonyms. If you search for several phrases with "OR" between them, Google will search for both options.

10. Google's search-by-image tool is also incredibly helpful. (Go to images.google.com to try it)
11. For example, if you have a photo you like but don't know where it was taken, you can image search it.

12. Or say you find something random and you have no idea what it is. Take a picture (on a white background), upload it, and, viola! Google figures it out for you.

13. Colour filtering in Google image search can be very helpful. Once you search for something, you can find the colour filtering options under 'Search Tools'.

14. That might not sound too useful right off the bat, but it can add context and let you find images based on information that might not be included in the text of the corresponding page.

15. Finally, if you're looking to do some cooking, you can filter recipes on Google by the time it takes to make, calories, and what ingredients you have.

Top 5 benefits of improving posture
Proper posture doesn't just straighten out your back and spine, but has other health benefits too. A poor posture is responsible for certain health problems; we list out why it is important to have a proper posture.
Proper posture: Benefits of improving posture #1
Avoid body pain: Most of us complain of back and neck pain. But body pain is a result of poor posture. We may not realise it, but if we are not walking or sitting straight this has a big effect on your back. Proper posture aligns the bones, muscles and ligaments. Maintaining a good posture will relieve you from back and neck pain rather than a strain muscle.
Proper posture: Benefits of improving posture #2
Breathing made easy: If you have trouble breathing, sit up straight. Slouching compresses the diaphragm and lungs making it difficult to breathe. Sitting up straight expands the lungs allowing you to breathe with ease.
Proper posture: Benefits of improving posture #3
Avoid joint injuries: Proper posture aligns the spine which avoids unnecessary pressure on the joints. Improving your posture can help you avoid wear and tear at the joints, reducing joint pain.
Proper posture: Benefits of improving posture #4
Eases your muscles: Poor posture actually make the muscles tense, but proper posture eases and relaxes your muscles. If you slouch for too long you will feel tired compared to sitting straight. This is clear proof that proper posture relaxes the muscles.
Proper posture: Benefits of improving posture #5
Help in digestion: Proper posture helps you improve digestion. If you slouch, you are suppressing your stomach and colon giving rise to digestion related problems like acidity.

Twister machine - It is available in most gyms but the twister machine is not an effective weight loss equipment. Twister machine is good equipment for mobility.

Must-have qualities in men to be Mr Perfect
Simi Kuriakose asks women about the qualities they seek in their ideal man, after a UK-study reveals shocking details.
The 21st century woman is independent, fun-loving and most importantly blunt. She says what's on her mind fearing none and is not hassled with what society thinks of her decisions. But when it comes to being with someone, there's a lot that she has on her checklist. A recent research in the UK interviewed about 2000 women and the results that surfaced were unbelievable. Women listed that according to them, the ideal man was someone who eats meat, drives an expensive car, rings up his mother twice a week, drinks beer, earns a handsome share a year (around 48,000 pounds) amongst other qualities.
So with women wanting so much from their Mr Perfect, the question that arises is, are women of this century becoming demanding and unreasonable, if not materialistic when it comes to selecting a partner for themselves? While finding a match, are the expectations of a woman extremely high?
Copy writer Bishnupriya Sen says, "Women today are not expecting a knight in shining armour to rescue them. They're more in control of their lives and want a companion... someone who respects her for what she has achieved." Gunjan Jain, a writer, contradicts stating, "Gone are the days when women looked for some 'real' qualities in men like chivalry, intelligence, independence, reliability, etc. Sadly the women of today just look for men with the best jobs, the biggest bank accounts or the most fashionable zip codes. Ask them about their dream man and their answer has to be someone like Chuck Bass (the rich bad boy of Gossip Girl). Talk about being materialistic and unrealistic!"
Clinical psychologist Mansi Hassan says, "Women do have high expectations from men as they themselves have become more achievement-oriented. The paradox is that they also are able to complete the missing aspects when they want to work on a relationship. But women need to be more realistic than materialistic as you need someone who matches your wavelength, emotional and attraction quotient. It is important to bank on a bankable person and not just someone with a good bank balance.
We asked some known faces what they think about the study and how'd they describe their ideal man?
Zoa Morani: Women today are more independent and don't need to depend on a man for anything, which is why the standard of her ideal man has risen. Now it's more about compatibility as women can take care of themselves. As for me, my ideal man would be someone who I can get along with like a house on fire, someone who's mature and understanding, so I can look upto him every single day and learn something from him. Everything else is relative.
Gauhar Khan: I don't think there's any such thing like an ideal man or woman. For me, it's important that the man I am with, has values and basic etiquette, is educated, is aware of what's happening around him, respects his family, women and people of all classes. I don't give one bit about how much beer he drinks, if he's sloshed or forgets his mother.
Aanchal Kumar: I can't identify with half the things this study stated. For me, the physical appearance hardly matters. It's more about the man's personality and not how much he earns or what he does in his pastime. My ideal man would be someone who I can have a conversation with and who's company I would enjoy. He should be a self-made man who respects everyone around him.
Kritika Kamra: Women of today are just more practical. Gone are the days when we used to wait for our 'Prince Charming'. There is no ideal man or woman. I am a little old school. I'll still wait for the chivalrous, self-made, righteous, successful man. But well, if that breed is extinct, the one that eats meat, drives a nice car, calls his mom and knows how to party will do just fine.
Sona Mohapatra: An ideal man from my point of view is one who is secure withs himself and has a clear understanding of what is fair and unfair and has the drive to change circumstances. The 'sense of humour' and the expensive car could be an added bonus but I can do without it too.
Bani J: I don't think it really matters what the man's assets are. I would prefer someone who is understanding, patient and funny. It will be really cool though if he earns as much money as I do, if not more and has a big house. Trust me, it doesn't matter if he even calls his mom or not, his mother should bother about that one.
The qualities of the perfect man according to this study are:
1. Six feet tall

3. Brown eyes
