6,102	3Education & Reference	What are the requirement that are need to become a Radiologist?		To be a Radiologist you need to be a medical doctor. In the United States you can become a medical doctor by going to an allopathic school (MD) or an osteopathic school (DO) both are licensed as physicians in all 50 states and can examine patients, perform surgery and prescribe drugs. \n\nAfter graduation from medical school with either the MD or DO doctors who want to be radiologists enter a program of residency and internship for several years. \n\nRadiologists are not just who read x-rays though, radiology has many facets. Sure there are diagnostic radiologists who interperet x-ray images, CAT scans, MRI & PET scans, ultrasound, perfusion studies and all facets of diagnostic imaging. There are also interventional radiologists who may fix problems they find during an diagnostic exam such as by threading a catheter into a blood vessel to repair damage. There are radiation oncologists who use ionizing radiation to treat cancer. All of these are subspecialties of radiology that require a fellowship -more studies!- after the completion of the radiology residency. \n\nI have included some links below to the American Board of Radiology which is certifier for these physicians (as well as non-physician Radiologic Physicists). I have also included a link to the UAB Radiology residency program's website.

6,107	7Entertainment & Music	How did Punk music emerge?		The phrase "punk rock" (from "punk", meaning worthless or snotty, often applied to a street hustler or a young person who is disrespectful of authority, or disaffected youth; also meaning a beginner or novice [1]) was originally applied to the untutored guitar-and-vocals-based rock and roll of United States bands of the mid-1960s such as The Standells, The Sonics, and The Seeds, bands that now are more often categorized as "garage rock".\n\nThe term was coined by rock critic Dave Marsh, who used it to describe the music of ? and the Mysterians in the May 1971 issue of Creem magazine, and it was adopted by many rock music journalists in the early 1970s. For example, in the liner notes of the 1972 anthology album Nuggets, critic and guitarist Lenny Kaye uses the term "punk-rock" to refer to the Sixties "garage rock" groups, as well as some of the darker and more primitive practitioners of 1960s psychedelia. Shortly after the time of those notes, Lenny Kaye formed a band with avant-garde poet Patti Smith. Smith's group, and her first album, Horses, released in 1975, directly inspired many of the mid-1970s punk rockers, so this suggests one path by which the term migrated to the music we now know as punk.\n\nIn addition to the inspiration of those "garage bands" of the 1960s, the roots of punk rock draw on the abrasive, dissonant style of The Velvet Underground; the rebellious attitide and free spirit of The Doors and the snotty attitude and aggressive instrumentation of The Who and the early Rolling Stones; the sexuality, political confrontation, and surreal violence of Detroit bands The Stooges and MC5; the UK pub rock scene and political UK underground bands such as Mick Farren and the Deviants; the New York Dolls, and some British "glam rock" or "art rock" acts of the early 1970s, including David Bowie, Mott the Hoople and Roxy Music.
6,108	4Computers & Internet	has anybody else had problems with the lastest version of Yahoo! IM? (version 7.x)?	Ever since downloading the latest version of Yahoo! IM I've been plagued with problems, including having the program crash repeatedly, not sign in, make me appear offline when I'm on (to other users), sign me out repeatedly without any apparent reason, etc. Does anybody know why Yahoo! IM is having such problems? I've rolled-back now to Version 6.1, the extra features in 7.x just aren't worth it.	Have you tried re-installing the new version? Sometimes during a download packets are lost and the program will not run properly even if the install works perfect. I suggest removing your current version of yahoo IM completely then re-download the new version. That should make it work.

One gets put under investigation for improper relationship with an inmate.	It might be fair.\n\nIf your institution has a rule, such as, "Staff shall not fraternize with inmates," praying with and touching an inmate may violate that rule.\n\nAlso, it might depend on your individual circumstances. For example, you may have had improper relationships in the past and been warned not to interact on a personal level with the inmates. Under that circumstance, interactions that might not be improper for other staff might be considered improper for you.

6,132	9Politics & Government	Can anyone give me a simple explanation on Impact of colonial rule?		If it were simple it wouldn't be an exam question. \n\n(I'd write about specifics, and say the impact of colonial rule depends on the nature of the colonial power and rule, and the people who implemented it, and on the society and peoples on whom the rule was imposed. Fopr instance, there were great differences in the forms of colonialism practiced in Africa by Britain, France and Belgium. In almost every case colonialism introduced "modern" practices for good and ill, and creaated gerrymandered countries which intensified conflict between incompatible local societies.)

6,136	6Business & Finance	How much meat is there on a cow?		Looks like roughly between 30% and 50% of the full weight (depending on which cuts are selected and what percentage of the animal was fat).

6,137	9Politics & Government	Why did the European Nations went to "conquer" Arfrica?		The European nations didn’t just go to Africa to conquer it. The nations of North Africa and Europe knew each other with explorers and conquers going both ways and all of this going back pre-Roman. Central and Southern Africa was largely unknown. What was know was seen as primarily wild and without unifying nations. \n\nAs raw resources came into the awareness of various country, expansion began into these wild territories. Through the years this continued and grew. As the cultures involved came into increasing contact, abrasive relationships grew which as often as not led to hostilities.\n\nWhile today we can look back from what we consider a higher moral ground, that certainly was not the controlling policies of the day.
6,138	8Family & Relationships	how do you get a guy to like you?		To to you the truth, It really depends on the guy. Being yourself is the best way to meet the "right" person for you, but if you're looking to get with this ONE guy who you aren't sure likes you,... first try putting yourself into his life subtly. Make small interuptions in his daily activity. DON'T make a fool of yourself or anything, just put yourself in a position to be noticed. after a little while, make an appearance for him, greet him politely and ask him to go with you for coffee or dinner some time. \n\nIf he doesn't go for that, I don't think it could go much further, but I think you should atleast get his attention.
6,139	5Sports	What years did Kentucky win the NCAA basketball championship?		Kentucky has won seven postseason NCAA Tournament Championships: 1948, 1949, 1951, 1958, 1978, 1996, and 1998. Kentucky has won the postseason National Invitational Tournament (NIT) twice, in 1946 and in 1976. In 1946, the NIT was considered by many to be as prestigious as the NCAA Tournament. Kentucky was awarded the Helms Foundation Championship for 1933, as this pre-dated the NCAA Tournament and the NIT. Kentucky was the Associated Press (AP) National Champion in 1954; they finished the season undefeated (25-0), but declined a bid to the NCAA Tournament because three of their top players were graduate students and at that time were considered ineligible for NCAA Tournament play. \n\nTherefore, Kentucky can claim some form of basketball championship during the following seasons: 1933, 1946, 1948, 1949, 1954, 1958, 1978, 1996, and 1998.

6,145	7Entertainment & Music	How can someone order a guitar case online making sure the guitar will fit properly without seeing it?	Are there any sites that help. What measurements must be made?	Most guitars come in fairly standard size/shapes, which makes this sort of thing easier.\n\nAcoustic steel-string guitars tend to be mostly dreadnaught-sized, following the standard Martin shape. There are some other standardized sizes (OO, OOO, etc.) that are less common, but still standardized.\n\nElectric guitars have more random shapes, with the three "standards" being the Strat, Tele, and Les Paul. Generic electric guitar cases tend to be either sized for one of these standards, or a one-size-fits-all shape that doesn't fit your guitar snugly.\n\nThe net-net of all of this is that if you want a snugly fitting guitar case custom-ordered remotely, the vendor should tell you exactly how you can specify your guitar shape. Calton is one company that offers this, and they basically ask for a full set of measurements and a life-sized tracing of your guitar. (see below URL)\n\nIf you have a non-standard guitar and someone is promising a case that will fit it without these kinds of measurements, I wouldn't believe them.
6,146	9Politics & Government	Isn’t an anarchist organization oxymoronic?		No. Anarchists don't believe that no groups or organizations exist, but in the idea that authority rests in the individual rather than society/government. Voluntary participation in an endeavor whose aims are the same as the participant's does not run counter to anrchist philosophy.
6,147	0Society & Culture	Why do you need a license to catch a fish, but not to have a baby?		You don't need a license to have a baby, but you don't need a license to have an abortion either. Fishing is less personal than having a baby or aborting one. And let's face it: Fish can't vote.
6,148	8Family & Relationships	WHY CAN'T I TELL THE DIFRENCE BETWEEN LOVE HEART PAIN AND HUNGER PAIN.WHY?	THIS GIRL I DEEPLY LOVED DIED, AND I HAVE LOST ALOT OF WEIGHT SINCE HER DEPARTING.BUT NOW I CAN'T TELL IF I'M HUNGRY OR SORROW PAINS WHY??	wow, sorry to hear about your girl, thats sad. I dont know why you cannot tell the difference but maybe its because you are in a lot of pain right now and you feel like you are hurting all over. Again I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope things start looking up for you soon! :)
6,149	4Computers & Internet	what is the best way to get songs on your ipod nano?

6,152	3Education & Reference	is there a place I can type in my reference information and APA style will be done for me?	I need to type a reference list using APA style. I am confused by the order of the information. Is there a website that will put my information in the order it is supposed to go?	This is an instruction page to teach you how to do it yourself:\n\nhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_apa.html\n\nBe careful with citation-generating Web pages and software. If you don't input it exactly right or have an odd source, it will give you a wrong citation. Your teacher will probably not accept that you got it from software as a defense--they expect you to learn it yourself.
6,153	1Science & Mathematics	How do non-contact infrared temperature sensors work?	I saw a guy using one of these at school the other day. It was a handheld device with a laser pointer, which he could point at pipes on the ceiling and measure their temperature remotely.	Infrared is a type of light. When a solid is heated, it begins to emit light. The cooler it is, the less light it emits, and the lower the frequency of the light. Infrared is a type of light with a low frequency that we cannot see. Other types of invisible low frequency light include radio waves and microwaves (like in a microwave oven), while high frequncy invisible light includes ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays. If heated enough, an object will emit light in the frequencies taht we can see (called the visible spectrum). This is how an incandescent light works (with a glowing filament), or why logs in a fire will glow, etc.\n\nVery few things you encounter give off light in a range where you can see the light. But everything has some heat, and the amount of infrared light they release correlates to that temperature. So a remote temperature reading can be assessed by the amount of infrared light released.
6,154	2Health	How can I check to see if someone has autism or not?	I suspect that a friend of mine has it but he refuse to go to the doctor.	The best advice is to take the child to a developmental pediatrician or a pediatric neurologist for an evaluation. Here's a link to the criteria used to determine autism and related disorders.
6,155	6Business & Finance	what dose the goverement do with local and state taxes?		I assume you mean what DOES the government do with local and state taxes. If not, then it seems the dose is never enough. \n\nOn a local level, the taxes are used a number of things. Here are examples:\n(1) Installing and maintaning sidewalks and streets\n(2) Construction for the schools\n(3) Attract businesses to locate in the area\n(4) Entitlement programs such as medicaid.\n(5) Offer job-assistance for the unemployed\n(6) Employ police officers, firefighters, medical workers\n(7) Grants are given to organizations who can do charity work more efficiently than forming a government agency.\n\nOn the state, it's about the same type of spending but on a grand scale. Taxes are used to pay for the roads all over the state. The salaries of teachers, educators, and state agencies come from state taxes.\n\nThe role of government is to protect the people and allow them to live a free and productive life. The challenge occurs when more and more taxes are collected for entitlement programs. Some believe that problems can be solved by spending more money. Others will say that is not the best solution.\n\nIt is a good question - what does government do with the money. On a local level, you can always go to the City or County Manager and ask to see a copy of the budget. That will give you an idea of how the money is allocated and to be spent.

6,157	8Family & Relationships	What should I do when I flirt with a friend of mine and we are both married?	But we both feel this amazing feeling when we are together. Although is more like aw fantasy but we are attracted to each other. What should I do?	I did a similiar thing (except he wasn't married) and now my husband is divorcing me. It's probably a sign your marriage is lacking and whatever benefits you are receiving from the other guy (companionship, attention, etc) is making for this. Talk to your husband, be honest about how you feel and try counseling. Good luck.

6,159	1Science & Mathematics	what is atom?		An atom is the smallest form an element can exist in and still contain all the characteristics of that element. Atoms are formed of Negatively charged, massless, electrons orbitting around the nucleus. (kinda like the earth going around the sun) The nucleus is the center of the atom and is comprised of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons. All of these are made up of quarks, which are either possitive or negative, and held together by a substance called Glueon.
6,160	3Education & Reference	what is the best advise for writng college entrance essays?		Think back to things you have done in your life.

If it fits in with what the school is looking for, it will help. If it doesn't fit, it won't help.

Many headachs and migrains will start from the cervical spine so by releasing that tension even along your ocippital ridge will help reduce the pain. Every reflexologist is diffrent but it is important to get the work done. I have learned diffrent points and styles of reflexology and the best and most effective method was from Dr. Manzanares. He's a medical doctor from Spain. Very cool and knowledgable man. Also look into CrainoSacral Therapy, very powerful stuff.

6,169	8Family & Relationships	how to encourage a kiss?	HOW TO GET A KISS WITH OUT PUSHING AND HOW TO ASK SOMEONE TOBE YOUR GIRLFRIEND WITH OUT SOUNDING CORNEY	The key is eye contact. You need to find a quiet moment when your sitting close and look into her eyes. If she looks back into yours then slowly move in for the goods. If she stays put then you pretty much got the green light. If for some reason things don't go as planned just say how pretty she looked and you just felt a need to kiss her. Then maybe say something like it was dumb of you to think she'd want to kiss a guy like you. Never underestimate the power of pity!\nGood Luck!

It's easier to learn Spanish if you already know how to speak English than not being able to speak at all.\n\n2] The best programmers [according to computer science literature] know many languages. Because different languages solve the same problems in different ways, you have more "tools" in your intellectual toolbox than someone who just knows VB.\n\nGood luck with VB! BTW, I'm a professional VB programmer who wishes he knew C++.

6,183	6Business & Finance	which came first the chicken or the egg?????		This is actually very easy to answer, based on evolution the egg had to come first. Evolution works like this: There are slight changes in the genetic information of the sex cells (i.e. eggs and sperm) of individuals that are passed on to the offspring of any two parents. These changes in the genetic makeup are called mutations. Mutations can either have: 1) A deleterious effect on the offspring (genetic disorders may arise, many times these are lethal); 2) sometimes these mutations may be advantageous, making an individual more fit than its neighbors (this is sometimes referred to as conferring an advantage); or 3) these mutations can have no effect, making no change from parent to progeny.\n\nIn the case of the chicken, it must have evolved from something else that became less fit than the chicken and eventually becoming extinct. The chicken became a chicken from this other organism through mutations that built up over time in subsequent generations. However, whatever the genetic makeup that finally became defined as a chicken, that individual was first conceived and developed in an egg before being hatched. The egg and sperm that fused to produce the chicken didn't bypass the period of gestation within an egg that had developed in the bird family millions of years before the chicken came along.\n\nSo the simple answer to this question is the egg came first -- unless you believe in fairy tales?

Any other questions just email me, I know someone in active duty from each branch.
6,191	1Science & Mathematics	are you aware of KUMON class??	do you think it is effective???\n\nwhat can you say about it???	I'm familiar with their approach to teaching math, though not with the school itself. I have experience tutoring math to middle school and high school students.\n\nTheir approach involves self-paced learning, rote memorization, and repeated practicing of problems. There's a defined sequence of skills that you build, and you don't move on to a new subject until you've mastered the previous one.\n\nMany people object to the idea of rote memorization. Also, some students find doing drills boring. I think everyone should learn math this way. A little boredom now can prevent many years of frustration later.\n\nThe problem with current public education is that most students get to high school without having mastered the basics. Students who get 80% correct on a test in fractions or multiplication will move forward to the next subject. That type of automatic promotion dooms them to a cycle of frustration. If you give a class of 10th graders a test in 7th grade level math, most will not get 100% correct, or even 90%. There's no way they'll ever do well in math if they're lacking in fundamental skills. They ultimately label themselves "dumb in math" and give up hope of excelling.\n\nI can't say whether any individual Kumon school is good or effective, but I strongly believe in their approach. I've seen it work many times.
6,192	8Family & Relationships	How can I get girls to get closer to me?

They just don't dare to get close, they want to look at me but are too shy to go further.\nEveryone keeps saying that's unbelievable that I'm single, because for how I'm I should be too busy dating or already married.\nWhat can I do?	I read your comments:\n\nI'm looking to date girls to get to know them and have fun, but I'm open to serious relationships, even to marriage.\n\nJulie, I have good manners, I'm good looking, I have good hygiene, and I'm a fun person but I have no success.\nWhat is that of trying too hard?\n\nI think that you need to display for self confidence and girls will notice you.
6,193	8Family & Relationships	how can I know my boyfriend's not lying to me?		First you have to think this simple question, has he ever lied in the past? Someone who has never lied to you before you should be able to trust more quite obviously. Does this person have a reason to lie to you? Remember that more than half of our communication is based upon body language. Learn to read more than just his words. Although there is no exact way to tell if someone is lying you can always do your best to learn how the person acts when they are telling the truth and when they are lying. Without knowing what you think the person is lying about I can't really go into any more detail. Just remember that in a relation trust is a key factor. If you can't trust someone you really can't be that close to them. Be as straight forward as possible. Hope this helps, best of luck.
6,194	9Politics & Government	Western Civilization is not being very serious in coping with the jihadist threat.Do you agree?		yes.\n\nThis is actually not a very new thing. 'The West' has been fighting with Islam for over a thousand years. The only time this ever stopped was when the west was fighting Communism and Facism for 70 years in the 20th century.\n\nThe people that believe that 'all war is bad' are the people that are causing the west to sleep at the wheel on this issue. All war is NOT bad -- World War 2 was NOT bad, that was a good war. The Napoleonic wars against France were NOT bad wars. The US Civil War was EXTREMELY bloody, it was also innevitable and it was by and large a necessary war.
6,195	4Computers & Internet	find prime numbers?	can someone give me some ideas to write an efficient algorithm to find prime numbers?	There are some efficient ways of finding prime numbers:\n\nThe naive way to see if a number n is prime is to divide it by all the integers from 2 to the square root of n. If none of these divide n evenly, n is prime.\n\nThere are more sophisticated ways linked below - if you want to find all primes in a given range, the Sieve of Eratosthenes (link below) is a good way to do that. There are also probabilistic tests - i.e. you can be 99.9% (or however much you want less than 100%) sure n is prime. These have the general advantage of being much faster. The Fermat primality test (link below) is a good example of these, and relatively simple to implement.

What are the requirement that are need to become a Radiologist?

To be a Radiologist you need to be a medical doctor. In the United States you can become a medical doctor by going to an allopathic school (MD) or an osteopathic school (DO) both are licensed as physicians in all 50 states and can examine patients, perform surgery and prescribe drugs. \n\nAfter graduation from medical school with either the MD or DO doctors who want to be radiologists enter a program of residency and internship for several years. \n\nRadiologists are not just who read x-rays though, radiology has many facets. Sure there are diagnostic radiologists who interperet x-ray images, CAT scans, MRI & PET scans, ultrasound, perfusion studies and all facets of diagnostic imaging. There are also interventional radiologists who may fix problems they find during an diagnostic exam such as by threading a catheter into a blood vessel to repair damage. There are radiation oncologists who use ionizing radiation to treat cancer. All of these are subspecialties of radiology that require a fellowship -more studies!- after the completion of the radiology residency. \n\nI have included some links below to the American Board of Radiology which is certifier for these physicians (as well as non-physician Radiologic Physicists). I have also included a link to the UAB Radiology residency program's website.

How did Punk music emerge?

The phrase "punk rock" (from "punk", meaning worthless or snotty, often applied to a street hustler or a young person who is disrespectful of authority, or disaffected youth; also meaning a beginner or novice [1]) was originally applied to the untutored guitar-and-vocals-based rock and roll of United States bands of the mid-1960s such as The Standells, The Sonics, and The Seeds, bands that now are more often categorized as "garage rock".\n\nThe term was coined by rock critic Dave Marsh, who used it to describe the music of ? and the Mysterians in the May 1971 issue of Creem magazine, and it was adopted by many rock music journalists in the early 1970s. For example, in the liner notes of the 1972 anthology album Nuggets, critic and guitarist Lenny Kaye uses the term "punk-rock" to refer to the Sixties "garage rock" groups, as well as some of the darker and more primitive practitioners of 1960s psychedelia. Shortly after the time of those notes, Lenny Kaye formed a band with avant-garde poet Patti Smith. Smith's group, and her first album, Horses, released in 1975, directly inspired many of the mid-1970s punk rockers, so this suggests one path by which the term migrated to the music we now know as punk.\n\nIn addition to the inspiration of those "garage bands" of the 1960s, the roots of punk rock draw on the abrasive, dissonant style of The Velvet Underground; the rebellious attitide and free spirit of The Doors and the snotty attitude and aggressive instrumentation of The Who and the early Rolling Stones; the sexuality, political confrontation, and surreal violence of Detroit bands The Stooges and MC5; the UK pub rock scene and political UK underground bands such as Mick Farren and the Deviants; the New York Dolls, and some British "glam rock" or "art rock" acts of the early 1970s, including David Bowie, Mott the Hoople and Roxy Music.

do you think it is fair to get suspended or fired for praying with an inmate.?

once praying with the inmate one pats the inmate on the hand and tells him he will be okay after standing there in prayer with the inmate. One gets put under investigation for improper relationship with an inmate.

It might be fair.\n\nIf your institution has a rule, such as, "Staff shall not fraternize with inmates," praying with and touching an inmate may violate that rule.\n\nAlso, it might depend on your individual circumstances. For example, you may have had improper relationships in the past and been warned not to interact on a personal level with the inmates. Under that circumstance, interactions that might not be improper for other staff might be considered improper for you.

Are there any simple ways to make a backdrop for a park scene? What materials can I use?

Please help me. I need a simple way to make a backdrop. Are there any good websites with directions? What should I make it out of? \nThis is for a play.

Sew light blue Sheet sets together, use cotton batting for clouds, and either real, or fake greenery for trees, just staple them on in a pattern to form outgoing branches, disguise the seams of the sheets by drawing on trunks with brown fabric paint. Add depth by putting a cut out of building in the backgound, either painted on, or paper copied. Place park benches on the area in front of the sheet backdrop.

Can anyone give me a simple explanation on Impact of colonial rule?

If it were simple it wouldn't be an exam question. \n\n(I'd write about specifics, and say the impact of colonial rule depends on the nature of the colonial power and rule, and the people who implemented it, and on the society and peoples on whom the rule was imposed. Fopr instance, there were great differences in the forms of colonialism practiced in Africa by Britain, France and Belgium. In almost every case colonialism introduced "modern" practices for good and ill, and creaated gerrymandered countries which intensified conflict between incompatible local societies.)

Looks like roughly between 30% and 50% of the full weight (depending on which cuts are selected and what percentage of the animal was fat). With an average full weight beef steer of around 1200 lbs, that's roughly between 360 and 600 lbs of retail beef cuts.

Why did the European Nations went to "conquer" Arfrica?

The European nations didn’t just go to Africa to conquer it. The nations of North Africa and Europe knew each other with explorers and conquers going both ways and all of this going back pre-Roman. Central and Southern Africa was largely unknown. What was know was seen as primarily wild and without unifying nations. \n\nAs raw resources came into the awareness of various country, expansion began into these wild territories. Through the years this continued and grew. As the cultures involved came into increasing contact, abrasive relationships grew which as often as not led to hostilities.\n\nWhile today we can look back from what we consider a higher moral ground, that certainly was not the controlling policies of the day.

how do you get a guy to like you?

To to you the truth, It really depends on the guy. Being yourself is the best way to meet the "right" person for you, but if you're looking to get with this ONE guy who you aren't sure likes you,... first try putting yourself into his life subtly. Make small interuptions in his daily activity. DON'T make a fool of yourself or anything, just put yourself in a position to be noticed. after a little while, make an appearance for him, greet him politely and ask him to go with you for coffee or dinner some time. \n\nIf he doesn't go for that, I don't think it could go much further, but I think you should atleast get his attention.

What years did Kentucky win the NCAA basketball championship?

Kentucky has won seven postseason NCAA Tournament Championships: 1948, 1949, 1951, 1958, 1978, 1996, and 1998. Kentucky has won the postseason National Invitational Tournament (NIT) twice, in 1946 and in 1976. In 1946, the NIT was considered by many to be as prestigious as the NCAA Tournament. Kentucky was awarded the Helms Foundation Championship for 1933, as this pre-dated the NCAA Tournament and the NIT. Kentucky was the Associated Press (AP) National Champion in 1954; they finished the season undefeated (25-0), but declined a bid to the NCAA Tournament because three of their top players were graduate students and at that time were considered ineligible for NCAA Tournament play. \n\nTherefore, Kentucky can claim some form of basketball championship during the following seasons: 1933, 1946, 1948, 1949, 1954, 1958, 1978, 1996, and 1998.

How can someone order a guitar case online making sure the guitar will fit properly without seeing it?

Are there any sites that help. What measurements must be made?

Most guitars come in fairly standard size/shapes, which makes this sort of thing easier.\n\nAcoustic steel-string guitars tend to be mostly dreadnaught-sized, following the standard Martin shape. There are some other standardized sizes (OO, OOO, etc.) that are less common, but still standardized.\n\nElectric guitars have more random shapes, with the three "standards" being the Strat, Tele, and Les Paul. Generic electric guitar cases tend to be either sized for one of these standards, or a one-size-fits-all shape that doesn't fit your guitar snugly.\n\nThe net-net of all of this is that if you want a snugly fitting guitar case custom-ordered remotely, the vendor should tell you exactly how you can specify your guitar shape. Calton is one company that offers this, and they basically ask for a full set of measurements and a life-sized tracing of your guitar. (see below URL)\n\nIf you have a non-standard guitar and someone is promising a case that will fit it without these kinds of measurements, I wouldn't believe them.

How do non-contact infrared temperature sensors work?

I saw a guy using one of these at school the other day. It was a handheld device with a laser pointer, which he could point at pipes on the ceiling and measure their temperature remotely.

Infrared is a type of light. When a solid is heated, it begins to emit light. The cooler it is, the less light it emits, and the lower the frequency of the light. Infrared is a type of light with a low frequency that we cannot see. Other types of invisible low frequency light include radio waves and microwaves (like in a microwave oven), while high frequncy invisible light includes ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays. If heated enough, an object will emit light in the frequencies taht we can see (called the visible spectrum). This is how an incandescent light works (with a glowing filament), or why logs in a fire will glow, etc.\n\nVery few things you encounter give off light in a range where you can see the light. But everything has some heat, and the amount of infrared light they release correlates to that temperature. So a remote temperature reading can be assessed by the amount of infrared light released.

what dose the goverement do with local and state taxes?

I assume you mean what DOES the government do with local and state taxes. If not, then it seems the dose is never enough. \n\nOn a local level, the taxes are used a number of things. Here are examples:\n(1) Installing and maintaning sidewalks and streets\n(2) Construction for the schools\n(3) Attract businesses to locate in the area\n(4) Entitlement programs such as medicaid.\n(5) Offer job-assistance for the unemployed\n(6) Employ police officers, firefighters, medical workers\n(7) Grants are given to organizations who can do charity work more efficiently than forming a government agency.\n\nOn the state, it's about the same type of spending but on a grand scale. Taxes are used to pay for the roads all over the state. The salaries of teachers, educators, and state agencies come from state taxes.\n\nThe role of government is to protect the people and allow them to live a free and productive life. The challenge occurs when more and more taxes are collected for entitlement programs. Some believe that problems can be solved by spending more money. Others will say that is not the best solution.\n\nIt is a good question - what does government do with the money. On a local level, you can always go to the City or County Manager and ask to see a copy of the budget. That will give you an idea of how the money is allocated and to be spent.

Has anyone tried reflexology for migraine?

I am a reflexologist and yes, I have helped many of my clients with their migraine's. Start by working your big toe, where your frontal cortex is located. A long the medial phalange to the end of the medial metatarsal. These locations are your cervical(neck and upper back) and thoracic spine(mid back). Also Work the plantar foot under your toes. This is where your trapezius and scapular muscles are located. Many headachs and migrains will start from the cervical spine so by releasing that tension even along your ocippital ridge will help reduce the pain. Every reflexologist is diffrent but it is important to get the work done. I have learned diffrent points and styles of reflexology and the best and most effective method was from Dr. Manzanares. He's a medical doctor from Spain. Very cool and knowledgable man. Also look into CrainoSacral Therapy, very powerful stuff.

It's easier to learn Spanish if you already know how to speak English than not being able to speak at all.\n\n2] The best programmers [according to computer science literature] know many languages.

which came first the chicken or the egg?????

This is actually very easy to answer, based on evolution the egg had to come first. Evolution works like this: There are slight changes in the genetic information of the sex cells (i.e. eggs and sperm) of individuals that are passed on to the offspring of any two parents. These changes in the genetic makeup are called mutations. Mutations can either have: 1) A deleterious effect on the offspring (genetic disorders may arise, many times these are lethal); 2) sometimes these mutations may be advantageous, making an individual more fit than its neighbors (this is sometimes referred to as conferring an advantage); or 3) these mutations can have no effect, making no change from parent to progeny.\n\nIn the case of the chicken, it must have evolved from something else that became less fit than the chicken and eventually becoming extinct. The chicken became a chicken from this other organism through mutations that built up over time in subsequent generations. However, whatever the genetic makeup that finally became defined as a chicken, that individual was first conceived and developed in an egg before being hatched. The egg and sperm that fused to produce the chicken didn't bypass the period of gestation within an egg that had developed in the bird family millions of years before the chicken came along.\n\nSo the simple answer to this question is the egg came first -- unless you believe in fairy tales?

are you aware of KUMON class??

do you think it is effective???\n\nwhat can you say about it???

I'm familiar with their approach to teaching math, though not with the school itself. I have experience tutoring math to middle school and high school students.\n\nTheir approach involves self-paced learning, rote memorization, and repeated practicing of problems. There's a defined sequence of skills that you build, and you don't move on to a new subject until you've mastered the previous one.\n\nMany people object to the idea of rote memorization. Also, some students find doing drills boring. I think everyone should learn math this way. A little boredom now can prevent many years of frustration later.\n\nThe problem with current public education is that most students get to high school without having mastered the basics. Students who get 80% correct on a test in fractions or multiplication will move forward to the next subject. That type of automatic promotion dooms them to a cycle of frustration. If you give a class of 10th graders a test in 7th grade level math, most will not get 100% correct, or even 90%. There's no way they'll ever do well in math if they're lacking in fundamental skills. They ultimately label themselves "dumb in math" and give up hope of excelling.\n\nI can't say whether any individual Kumon school is good or effective, but I strongly believe in their approach. I've seen it work many times.

I read your comments:\n\nI'm looking to date girls to get to know them and have fun, but I'm open to serious relationships, even to marriage.\n\nJulie, I have good manners, I'm good looking, I have good hygiene, and I'm a fun person but I have no success.\nWhat is that of trying too hard?\n\nI think that you need to display for self confidence and girls will notice you.

how can I know my boyfriend's not lying to me?

First you have to think this simple question, has he ever lied in the past? Someone who has never lied to you before you should be able to trust more quite obviously. Does this person have a reason to lie to you? Remember that more than half of our communication is based upon body language. Learn to read more than just his words. Although there is no exact way to tell if someone is lying you can always do your best to learn how the person acts when they are telling the truth and when they are lying. Without knowing what you think the person is lying about I can't really go into any more detail. Just remember that in a relation trust is a key factor. If you can't trust someone you really can't be that close to them. Be as straight forward as possible. Hope this helps, best of luck.

Western Civilization is not being very serious in coping with the jihadist threat.Do you agree?

yes.\n\nThis is actually not a very new thing. 'The West' has been fighting with Islam for over a thousand years. The only time this ever stopped was when the west was fighting Communism and Facism for 70 years in the 20th century.\n\nThe people that believe that 'all war is bad' are the people that are causing the west to sleep at the wheel on this issue. All war is NOT bad -- World War 2 was NOT bad, that was a good war. The Napoleonic wars against France were NOT bad wars. The US Civil War was EXTREMELY bloody, it was also innevitable and it was by and large a necessary war.

find prime numbers?

can someone give me some ideas to write an efficient algorithm to find prime numbers?

There are some efficient ways of finding prime numbers:\n\nThe naive way to see if a number n is prime is to divide it by all the integers from 2 to the square root of n. If none of these divide n evenly, n is prime.\n\nThere are more sophisticated ways linked below - if you want to find all primes in a given range, the Sieve of Eratosthenes (link below) is a good way to do that. There are also probabilistic tests - i.e. you can be 99.9% (or however much you want less than 100%) sure n is prime. These have the general advantage of being much faster. The Fermat primality test (link below) is a good example of these, and relatively simple to implement.

Why is a building a building when it's already done? Shouldn't it be a "Built"?

Stupid questions get more answers.

For the same reason we drive on the parkway and park on the driveway... It's just the way it is...

Can We Teach People To Think Or Just Guide Them With Cues And Methods; Letting Them Find Their Own Way?

All people think. Some do it with greater success than others. \n\nYou can teach logic and you can teach patterns of inquiry, but I don't believe you can "teach" synthesis or evaluation. Some forms of analysis maybe because they can be pattern based. What a good teacher can do though is create situations where challenge and practice are possible.
