THE SEARCH ENGINES

THE SEARCH ENGINES

Alta Vista
http://www.altavista.com/

Alta Vista is a full text search engine, which uses “spiders” or “robots” to create its own databases from public Internet Web pages. It uses the word, acronym or phrase that is input and creates a database of Web sites containing those terms. The results are listed with the most relevant sites first. Alta Vista is considered a single or individual search engine since it searches individual sites only.
Additional features of Alta Vista include a directory of Web sites reviewed by its editors and organized by category. If you’re not sure what terms to search, you can select a category and follow its path to get where you want to go. A section with Web tools allows you to send and receive email, map out a set of directions, translate foreign language information, catch up on the latest news, etc. A business center and shopping directory are also available from the home page.

Reaction: Alta Vista for me, is a good example of search engines because it provides web and newsgroup search engines, as well as paid submission service and it is a unique engine because it uses spiders or robots to create its own databases.

Dogpile
http://www.dogpile.com/

Dogpile is a meta-search engine that transmits a search simultaneously to several individual search engines and their databases of Web pages. The default list of search engines queried varies. You can also customize Dogpile to search specific search engines. Results are retrieved in lists of 10 hits from each engine queried. If more than 10 results are found, a link to the next list of hits is given. It is important to remember that meta-search engines only spend a short time in each database and may only retrieve a small percentage of any of the results in any of the databases queried.

Reaction: Dogpile also for me is a best example of search engines for the reason that Dogpile fetches and ranks results from multiple search engines, letting you search for key word, pictures, audio, video, news,or phone numbers.

About.com
http://home.about.com/

About.com is a directory similar to Yahoo that covers more than 50,000 subjects with over 1 million links to resources on the Internet. The directory consists of over 700 sites organized by individuals called Guides, into 36 channels or subject areas. The Guides are experts in their individual subjects, who gather and create hundreds of thousands of pages of content to share with users. Guides are selected for their ability to provide the most interesting information for users, their commitment to finding the best sites, and their passion for their subject and the Internet.

Reaction: About.com search engines is also consider for me as a great types of engine in the reason that it covers a large number of subjects.

FRIENDSHIP


"If only I had a close friend."
"who cares?"

"who can I trust?"

Friendship: What is a friend? There are acquaintances, casual friendships, close friendship, and intimate friendships. We all have acquaintances, faces we recognize and people we greet by name. Casual friendships happen through continued contact. Close friendships are developed through sharing of interests and spending time together in certain activities.

But intimate friendships are what everyone desires and needs. These are friends that stay with us no matter what. They listen to us and are genuinely interested in what is best for us. They always tell us the truth, even if it hurts sometimes. But that's okay because they are interested in our well-being.

When you are in trouble or facing a difficult situation, who do you depend on to help you sort it all out? Who do you wish you could turn to? Everyone wants the of friend that will be there for them no matter what.
Who are your friends? Are they just acquaintances, or intimate friends? Sometimes even our friends may let us down, but there is one thing that is sure--Jesus wants to be your friend. When you accept His friendship you will never be disappointed.

MY VALENTINE'S

MY VALENTINE'S

"The best use of life is love,
the best expression of love is time,
and the best time to love is now"

"No matter what I say, what I believe,
and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love."
1 Corinthians 13:3b

"Love means living the way God commanded us
to live. As you have heard from the beginning,
his command is this: Live a life of Love."
2 John 1:6





Life is all about love.
People keep on saying: a month of February is a month of love(February 14 "Araw ng Puso"). It is true? Exactly, love should be your priority, primary objective, and greatest ambition. Love is not a good part of your life, it's the most important part. And love should not exist only in the month of February, it should be exist everyday, every hour, every minute or even every seconds because the best use of life is love.

Sometimes, when you full of happiness because of the great things you've experience, you like to speak to the public of what a good things you've encounter, you want to tell and share to them of what makes you smile, and that is what I've feel now...hehe..

Before when I was just come and go in our Church, I have no close friends because actually I am a shy girl. "Sabi pa nila",
I am uneducated girl in times I am in Church. Yes, I don't know how to deal with them, how to build a relationship with them especially to the youth. I'm always comparing my self with them that I'm not a perfect friend to them. I'm a poor conversationalist. I don't seem to know how to begin interestingly. I sometimes answer question in monosyllables. I must appear a big bore to other people. But didn't know what I feel inside my heart. I'm always wishing that someday I can build a relationship to the youth, I want to join them every time when they have an activity, outing, party, fellowship or any kind of enjoyment they did, but I don't know how, how to begin. I'm always looking down my self, and I'm always put to my mind that this is my stage of my life forever.

But one day, a big surprise happened, God gave me an instrument that will be the bridge that I can build a strong relationship to them. He cares me and he introduced me to my co-youth in our Church that will be the steppened-stone of my life stage to them.

Now, I am very happy that I am a part to their lives, we are always together every time we have an activity and party in our Church. And you know what, another thing that makes me happy this month...? Simply, even my special someone is already my friend now (how nice!!! hehe..), but I'm not expecting more of that, I'm happy already of what close we are now. I'm enjoy my self together with him and them. I'm happy because he can do to share with me the enjoyment he encountered in his life. And I'm very happy also that he makes me laugh every time I'm sad and every time I have a problems. Thanks for them, and thanks for God. I love you.

HAPPY VALENTINE guys..... HAPPY VALENTINE TO ALL OF YOU....
GOD BLESS US....


"Life minus love is equal to zero"

MY PERSONAL ENCOUNTER


MY PERSONAL ENCOUNTER

It is not accident!

Exactly, Life has a great purpose. It is possible that we are not planned by our parent, but God plans you to be born as you are a candidate for the process to deepen your understanding the purpose of your existence and to know more who God really is?

Possibly, you are struggling in some areas of your life that you need to be filled, to be enlightened for you to experience the real joy and the significance of your life. Perhaps, you will ask, What will be the center of my life? What will be the character of my life? What will be the contribution of my life? What will be the communication of my life? And what will be the community of my life as I exist in this world? Definitely, you find it difficult in seeking the complete details that your heartfelt desire will come into reality and fully granted.


Sometimes, you are too much depressed in your family, you get hurt with your mama, you get hurt with your papa, you get hurt with your brothers and sisters, with your relatives, or it could be your family gets hurt from you, without even knowing in which area you commit mistakes. I understand situations like these, there are times we are expecting too much from our family especially in times of pain. In fact, there are few who are closer to their friends experiencing greater things from the people around in which they never experienced from their own family. It suddenly comes to your mind, are all these things the center of my life? How can I say I am a blessed individual? How can I say that God is good? How can I believe that He will never leave me, and He will never abandon me, and how can I say that He is present, a very present in times of need, that He is now
Missing in action of this situation where I am right now...


Another thing, when people who are closer to you, are also the people who will utter all manner of evil against you. It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! that seems you loose everything, HOPE, JOY,LOVE. You would certainly sa every do of success has been closed and will no longer open for you to get in and pursue the things you have started.
and


I understand all of these! Yes, it really hurts! but God is in control of every situation of our lives. I have done on this stage of circumstances, in fact it was worst. I will tell you, God never does , letting you down, he doesn't allow situation in which you cannot stand; he never fails, because he is a perfect God. Try to get back to yourself and keep on checking, evaluate from the time you were born. From the time you learn how to speak. You feel there's an air, and a smile because of joy while you are with your family who was taking good care of you until such time you have reached into another stage of life.



Now, are you burn that failures, persecutions, discouragement, hurts, are the things first you encountered? Think it deeply! God doesn't end up with sadness but he ends up with happiness, if you are in the process of adjustments, pains, then it is not yet the end of your journey, but very time for you to move on and to be more dominant to step up into the ladder of life's maturity. How can we say that God is powerful? How can we say that he is a miraculous God? How can we say that he is a God of restoration? And how can we go deeper of knowing him out from these types of situation? Do you think that you will now him better or you will have personal encounter with him, out from these situation? What are you going to share to the people around you?

God is just introducing himself so that we will know him better and above all, we could worship him in Spirit and in Truth as what he wants us to do. When you think he is
Missing in Action during your difficulties, it doesn't mean he leaves and rejects you, but he is just allowing various situations for you to realize what will happen without him, apart from him you can really do nothing, and so that everyone of us will be aware that life is nothing or bankrupt without God. He watches over you, nor leaves and forsakes you. He died on the cross for the joy of our salvation; he suffers pain,thirst,because of you, and his great love for you that no one can fathom. Are these not enough for you to meditate? Not enough for you to be awakened? God is extending his hand for you, calling you, because he wants you wholehearted commitment to be used for his Glory. Love expresses time commitment as Jesus gave to everyone of us.

Think that you were
SHAPED to serve him, and commanded to go and bear fruit. Start renewing your Spirit, mind, and everything with the Holy Spirit so you will get the benefits more than what you desire. God said: If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land... Faith is still the best armor, and prayer serves as our weapon in facing the cruelty of life...

there's gonna be a GREAT REVIVAL, a GREAT CHANGE, a GREAT RESTORATION, and a GREAT HARVEST...

All Glory, Honor, belong to Jesus... May you be praised Oh LORD.......
