Practical 6:
The invisible web(datebase) provides us with many useful and relevant information on the topic we are searching on. It includes (title, subject, date, content, report etc.) whereas other search engines might not have it. This allows the researcher to find the piece of informations they want easily.

Other search engine might not have the information that the user want, and they returns alot of useless informations.

Database will be updated frequently by authors, so the informations will be up-to-date and accurate. Throughout the years, database will be expanding tremediously, users will definitely benefit from it.

Yes, i will definitely use invisible web(database) research for my respective diplomas. From the database, i can easily retrieve the informations i want for my diploma rather than finding in other search engines. This will save me time and the informations are more accurate.

Practical 4 & 5:

2. Briefly reflect on lessons learnt from this practical:
a. What benefits do you get when using different search facilities to search for resources related to your topic?
b. How do you feel about using site feeds in your blog? Would you use this in future?

Having different search facilities benefit me alot as i will be able to search for more revelant informations that i need. As different search facilities provides me different results, i can expose myself with ideas for my research and it will not constrain me from using other search facilities.Example: Google, Yahoo Directory etc.
Site feeds reduces the time needed to update the informations myself, as it will automatically updates. i will be sure that my informations is always up-to-date. I will definitely use site feeds on my blog or websites as people will know that my informations are definitely up-to-date.

Worldwide, between 80,000 and 100,000 kids start smoking every day.
Among young teens (aged 13 to 15), about one in five smokes worldwide.
Between 80,000 and 100,000 children worldwide start smoking every day - roughly half of whom live in Asia.
Evidence shows that around 50% of those who start smoking in adolescent years go on to smoke for 15 to 20 years.
Some Tips to Quit Smoking

1) Identify the times you are most likely to smoke. For example, do you tend to smoke when feeling stressed? When you are out at night with friends? While you are drinking coffee? When you are bored? While you are driving?

2) Keep a diary to help you determine such risky times. Record each time you have a cigarette, including time of day and what you are doing.

3) Make a plan about what you will do instead of smoking at those times that you are most likely to smoke. For example, drink tea instead of coffee -- tea may not trigger the desire for a cigarette. Or, take a walk when feeling stressed. Remove ashtrays and cigarettes from the car. Place pretzels or hard candies there instead. Pretend-smoke with a straw.

4) Let all of your friends, family, and co-workers know of your plan to stop smoking and your quit date. Just being aware that they know can be a helpful reminder and motivator.

5) Prior to your quit date, start reducing your cigarette use, including decreasing the number and strength of the cigarettes. However, DON'T do this simply to make your diary "look good!" Get rid of all of your cigarettes just prior to the quit date and clean out anything that smells like smoke, such as clothes and furniture.

6) Avoid smoke-filled settings and situations in which you are more likely to smoke.
7) Exercise to relieve urges to smoke.
Symptoms

How severe your symptoms are depends on how long you smoked and how many cigarettes you smoked each day. Common symptoms include:
-An intense craving for nicotine
-Tension
-Irritability
-Headaches
-Difficulty in concentrating
-Drowsiness and trouble sleeping
-Increased appetite and weight gain.
A milder form of nicotine withdrawal, involving some or all of these symptoms, can occur when a smoker switches from regular to low-nicotine cigarettes or significantly cuts down on the number of cigarettes smoked.
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO QUIT!

Practical 3:

Briefly reflect on lessons learnt from this practical by answering questions below :
A) Were you impressed by google’s search functions/features? Why?
B)How do you feel about participation in discussion forum? Is it helpful for your research? Do you feel anxious about talking to others you do not know?
C)Why must you do citation and bibliography?

a)Yes, I am impressed by Google's search functions and features. Compare to other search engines, Google has an advance search that the user can specifically enter the informations that need to get the exact information they need.
b)This is definitely the first time that i am participating in a discussion forum. The information that users replied are useful and it made me have a clearer idea of what I am researching on. I think that i will not be anxious as it will be posted online and we might not even know who are we talking to.
c)We need to acknowledge and hightlighting the source from where our information come from to prevent copyright and plagarism.
