Romance / 7 Best Ways To Start A Conversation On A First Date by Lordstar25: 3:47pm On Nov 11, 2015
Whether you’re a shy girl who has no idea how to start a conversation with a new guy or you’re a confident woman who can’t stand those awkward silent moments, knowing some of the best conversation starters are sure to help you out. Some of us have trouble starting a conversation on a second date too.

It’s not because we’re not smart or charming or interesting. It’s because our emotions and feelings don’t let our brains think clearly. A little bit of practice can make your first and next dates more exciting and fun. Plus, you will save your date from dealing with silent moments – a win-win solution for two of you. Take a look at the best first date conversation starters and pick what you think both of you will love to discuss.

1. Childhood memories
Even though not all of us have great childhood memories, there’s still something positive you or your date might have. When I begin to talk about my childhood, I have a number of interesting stories to tell, though it wasn’t so happy and trouble-free. If you see that your date speaks about his childhood with a smile on his face, keep asking questions and tell about your funniest memories too. This is a good way to learn more about each other.

2. Holidays
It’s a holiday season, which means, you have an awesome conversation starter. Talk about your favorite holidays and the ways you usually celebrate them. Recollect the most wonderful moments and ask your date about his too. Christmas is a charming holiday that everyone likes so why not make it your first date conversation starter?

3. Food
When I wrote ‘food’ I didn’t mean diet tips, diet goals and calorie intake. You can discuss your favorite and unfavorite meals and drinks, fruit and vegetables, or desserts. Food is a common topic to discuss on a first date. Unless you talk about your calorie intake and weight loss goals, your date will be eager to find out what you like. Romantic dinners are still popular, girls, and men know it.

4. Technology
Let’s face it: we live in a world where people fall asleep with their smartphones and check their timelines and emails every time they wake up. Discussing some old or new inventions is a great first date conversation starter. But make sure you don’t brag. If you see that your date doesn’t have a cool phone or he’s a poor student who knows nothing about Mac and iPhone, skip this topic, even if you have the latest gadgets. Otherwise, he will get you wrong.

5. Music
It may seem cliché and boring, but music has a magic power. It heals the soul, boosts mood and inspire us to move forward. Music is a perfect first date conversation ice-breaker too. You know almost nothing about one another so discussing music related questions will entertain both of you and help you find something in common. Who knows, maybe you two love Halestorm or still can’t get over the Beatles. You might listen to your favorite bands on a second date.

6. Career
Whether you are students or successful managers, discussing career goals and achievements is one of the best ways to start a conversation. It doesn’t have to take a lot of time, just a few sentences and that it. Again, no bragging and moaning. Avoid discussing and gossiping about your bosses and coworkers. The last thing you want is to turn your date into a business meeting.

7. Family
Family is a bit tricky first date conversation starter, but when other topics fail, why not talk about your families? Parents, siblings, nieces or nephews, whoever. If you have little kids in your family, make sure you talk about them. Your date will see how much you love kids, and know you will be a wonderful mom. Moreover, you will find out how he treats his parents and kids as well. If you are planning to build a relationship with this guy, you should know as many details about his family as possible.
First date conversation starters can vary from person to person. You can’t know what topics your date would like to discuss. Stay flexible. If you feel like your conversation starter is a total failure, quickly change the topic. Your date can also suggest some interesting topics. Don’t discuss your exes, crushes, family problems and health issues. He’s not interested in those details.

Programming / Google Has Introduce Offline Searching And Navigation by Lordstar25: 3:38pm On Nov 11, 2015
As You all know Google as The Popular Search Engine Through Out the Whole World Now.

Google has therefore Introduce Offline Searching and Navigation. To improve The Way Of Searching & More
Google Maps has rolled out a new offline mode allowing for driving directions and search, providing access to turn-by-turn directions and several other features in areas without a reliable cellular data or internet connection.

According to BBC reports, the new features will begin rolling out to Android users later on Tuesday, and Google says the iOS roll out will follow soon. Offline search and navigation was one of the biggest announcements, nearly six months later, that feature is finally reaching users.

The option to save certain areas has existed in Google Maps since 2012, but this is the first time they have been indexed for search and navigation. That means if you save the city you live in, you will be able to search for a place to have dinner and get a response without a cellular connection. Because of space constraints, the businesses stored will have names, star ratings, and phone numbers, but no photos or user reviews.

Similarly, directions will work from average traffic time rather than loading in real-time traffic data, although the route will update as soon as the connection is restored. The initial rollout does not include transit or walking directions, largely due to space considerations, but Google says those features will be added in the months to come.

The feature will be most useful for anyone navigating without a cellular connection, either in a dead zone or a foreign country that requires a second SIM. But project manager Amanda Bishop says even standard users will notice maps loading faster, because of the erratic nature of even the best data connections.

According to Google’s research, the average phone is offline for 10 percent of the day, much of which results from simple network congestion
