3 Reasons to Take Time to Read Every Day
December 26, 2013 by
Whether you get lost in an e-reader, your smartphone, or a good old-fashioned hard-cover, the benefits of reading remain the same. Here are three reasons to always keep reading a part of your daily routine.
1. Reading reduces stress.
Studies report that reading is a more effective means of stress relief than listening to music, going for a walk, playing video games, or sipping tea. Pick up your favorite engrossing novel, enjoy some peace and quiet, and get lost in the story weaved by your favorite author.
2. Reading keeps your brain in shape.
Consider reading a form of exercise for your brain. A person's participation in creative activities, like reading, while young has been shown to slow cognitive decline later in life. Such activities may even ward off Alzheimer's disease.
3. Reading is free entertainment.
A visit to your local library can provide you with several hours of free entertainment. Compare this to the price of a movie or amusement park ticket, and your wallet will thank you.

Three Ways to Use Google for More than Web Searches
December 10, 2013 by
Google is the most widely used search engine on the web, but this beloved site is also home to a number of other helpful features. These impressive tools will have you rethinking how you spend your time on Google.
Google News
Since Google gives you access to all of the best websites and sources of information on the web, it only makes sense that it would also give you top breaking news stories as soon as they happen. Google News pulls the top headlines from other news sites across the country and around the world and compiles them all into one convenient place.
Panoramio
A division of Google Maps, Panoramio is a photo sharing website that allows users to view photos and upload their own from places around the world. Simply drag the Google map until you find a place of interest or type a location into the search bar and explore photos of aerial views, scenery, and local hotspots in that area.
Google Trends
Find out what Google users from around the world are searching for with this in-the-know feature. Google Trends details the most searched people, items and events from around the web, and it even creates charts with categories like actors, books, fashion brands and games to see what the top searches are.
