What is Bookmark (World Wide Web)

-


A bookmark is a saved shortcut that directs your browser to a specific Webpage. It stores the title, URL, and Favicon of the corresponding page. Saving bookmarks allows you to easily access your favorite locations on the Web.

When you are looking at a particular Web site or Home page and want to be able to quickly get back to it later, you can create a bookmark for it. You can think of your browser as a book full of (millions of ) Web pages and a few well-placed bookmarks that you have chosen. The list that contains your bookmarks is the "bookmark list" (and sometimes bookmark is called a "Hotlist.")


How to Create a Bookmark on Browser :


1. To create a bookmark, simply visit the page you want to bookmark and select Add Bookmark  or   Bookmark this Page from the Bookmarks menu.

2. In Internet Explorer, you can click the star icon to open the Favorites sidebar and click Add to     Favorites to add the current page to your bookmarks. The website title will show up in your bookmarks list along with the website's favicon if available. As your collection of bookmarks grows,

3. You can create folders to organize your bookmarks into different categories.

4. It is helpful to bookmark frequently visited websites and useful references since you don't have  to   remember the URLs.

5. Additionally, you can just click the bookmarks instead of typing in the full web addresses.
Some browsers even display your bookmarked pages in the autocomplete drop down menu as you type in the address bar. This allows you to visit bookmarked pages without even opening the bookmarks window or sidebar in your browser.

NOTE: A bookmark only stores the location of a webpage, not store the contents of the webpage itself. Therefore, when you open a previously saved bookmark, the contents of page may have changed since the last time you viewed it.

What Is Global Positioning System - Introduction To GPS - How It Works

-
Image
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of at least 24 satellites. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, with no subscription fees or setup charges. The U.S. Department of Defense (USDOD) originally put the satellites into orbit for military use, but they were made available for civilian use in the 1980s. GPS or Global Positioning System is a network of orbiting satellites that send precise details of their position in space back to earth. The signals are obtained by GPS receivers, such as navigation devices and are used to calculate the exact position, speed and time at the vehicles location. GPS is well-known for its military uses and was first developed by the US to aid in its global intelligence efforts at the height of the Cold War. Ever since the early 1980s, however, the GPS has been freely available to anyone with a GPS receiver. Airlines, shipping companies, trucking firms, and drivers

The Benefits and Risks of Ultra-Violet Radiation

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a type of energy produced by the sun and some artificial sources, such as solariums.  Ultra-violet (UV) lasers for Raman spectroscopy typically include laser wavelengths ranging from  244 nm through to 364 nm . UV radiation isn’t like the sun’s light or heat, which we can see and feel. Your senses cannot detect UV radiation, so you won’t notice the damage until it has been done. Theoretically UV Raman spectroscopy is no different from standard analysis using visible laser wavelengths.  However, in practice there are a  small amount that gets through has both positive and negative effects.  Positive effects of UV Photolithography:  UV is employed in fine resolution photolithography and hence is extensively used in the field of electronics. Vitamin D Production :  UV from the Sun is needed by our bodies to produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps strengthen bones, muscles and the body’s immune system. It may also lower the risk of g
