Advanced Search Operators with Google



Andreas describes and demos some of the advanced search operators that Google uses to find exactly the data you want! (Most of these will work in any browser / search engine, by the way!)
From: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=35&v=fAQwWwZ8fs4&feature=emb_logo

A search operator or a search parameter is a character or string of characters used in a search engine query to narrow the focus of the search. ‘Search Operators’ are specific commands we can use in search engines to refine search results. Search operators are powerful and can save searchers a lot of time, especially since most operators can be used together.

Operator
Description
Example
site:
Get results from certain sites or domains.
olympics site:nbc.com and olympics site:.gov
link:
Find pages that link to a certain page.
link:youtube.com
related:
Find sites that are similar to a web address you already know.
related:time.com
-
When you use a dash before a word or site, it excludes sites with that info from your results. This is useful for words with multiple meanings, like Jaguar the car brand and jaguar the animal.
jaguar speed -car or pandas -site:wikipedia.org
"
When you put a word or phrase in quotes, the results will only include pages with the same words in the same order as the ones inside the quotes. Only use this if you’re looking for an exact word or phrase, otherwise you’ll exclude many helpful results by mistake.
"imagine all the people"
OR
Find pages that might use one of several words.
marathon OR race

8 Car Secrets Only Experienced Drivers Know



Are you one of those drivers who trust their car mechanic fully? Good for you if you’ve found a true professional who takes good care of your vehicle! Unfortunately, not all mechanics are responsible and honest with their customers. There are several things they don't want you to know so that they can take advantage of you when you bring your car in.

SUMMARY:
- The truth is that the biggest problem with the battery comes not from the battery itself but from the wires connected to it. The spots where they're attached to the battery get damaged by corrosion.

- Various car experts state that the earliest you should start to worry about an oil change is after driving a minimum of 7,500 miles.

- You'll probably agree that no one can ignore the terrible screeching of car brakes. But the most likely cause of these terrible sounds is rust on the brake pads.

- Some car service centers attract clients by promising free bumper-to-bumper examinations of their vehicles. After you bring your car in, a mechanic will most likely discover that it has tons of problems — which need to be fixed right away.

- Don't fall for the offer of free lifetime muffler replacement! If you agree to this, you'll just end up paying more money in the long run.

-  Before you drive to the garage, mark the tires with chalk. You can write the letters "RL" on the rear left tire and "FR" on the front right tire. After you get your car back, check where the marks are.

- Few people know that the most widespread reason for the check engine light to appear on your dashboard is because your gas cap isn't fastened well enough.

- Your mechanic may suggest that you buy additives for the engine, gas tank, or transmission. After you agree, you find out that these additives cost you an arm and a leg!

"You need to change the oil as soon as possible!" 1:47

"You need to replace your brake pads right now!" 2:43

"Drop in for a free inspection!" 3:51

"Your car might break down if you don't use these services!" 4:31

"I'll rotate your tires!" 5:03

"Your check engine light is on. You must have a serious problem!" 5:57

"Your car needs special additives to run better!" 7:02

How to Kill a Tree




5 Best Ways for How to Kill a Tree
 #1 Hack and Squirt
#2 Tree Girdling
#3 Roundup
#4 Salt
#5 Spraying Leaves

Chemicals to Use:
The main chemicals used for killing trees are Epson Salt, Hi-Yield Kill-Zall and Roundup which have the same active ingredient, and Fertilome Brush & Stump Killer which is used for killing trees by spraying the leaves.

#1 Hack and Squirt:
This is a super fast way to kill smaller trees. You simply use a hatchet to cut into the bark and spray with 50/50 roundup concentrate. This is a good method if you have a lot of small trees you need to thin out of a forest. It's not very practical if you live in the city unless you don’t mind a dying tree in your yard for several months.

#2 Tree Girdling:
You could be old school and use an antique hand saw or just use a generator and reciprocating saw. Cut a 1” slice out of the bark and first layer of the tree all the way around. Then chop it out with a hatchet. This will cut off the water supply to the tree and it will die. I would only use this method if you live in the boonies are wanting to harvest the tree later for firewood once it is dead and dry.

#3 How to Kill a Tree with Roundup:
This is the best way to kill a tree in your yard. Cut your tree down with a chainsaw. I love my 460 Rancher. In the lighter outer ring of the tree drill holes and then fill the holes with 50/50 Roundup. Killing the tree like this will kill the tree stump and all the roots completely. Just cutting down most trees isn’t enough for them to die. This will avert any shoots coming up from the stump or roots.

#4 How to Kill Tree with Salt:
This works well especially if you don’t like using chemicals. It works much the same as using roundup. First, cut the tree down and then drill holes all the way around in the lighter outer ring of the tree. Fill the holes with Epsom salt. This should kill the tree. This is also a good way to remove tree stumps.

#5 Kill Tree by Spraying Leaves:
 I always have a bunch of little trees popping up in my yard like weeds. Using Fertilome Brush & Stump Killer works well these. Mix 4 to 8 ounces into 1 gallon of water. Screw the top on and pump and Shake to mix well. Spray the leaves thoroughly. You can see that I have a bunch of trees that I can quickly kill this way.

How to Pack Books



Learn how to pack books with care in this video. We'll show you a few options to protect your collection, including several ways to stack the books and the best way to prevent wrinkles and tears that could damage the pages.

·         Use smaller boxes to prevent overloading. You can use larger boxes as long as you don't fill them up all the way
·         Because books are significantly heavier than most other household goods, reinforce the box seams with extra tape
·         Line each box with crushed packing paper
·         Hardback books should be packed spine to spine, while paperback books should be stacked vertically
·         Wrap special books in packing paper for extra protection--just be sure to avoid taping the book surface

·         Fill in any gaps with more packing paper.
