What is the fastest search engine on the internet?

On a ping test we found:

1) Google 8.29ms

2) bing 15.13ms (2x longer)

3) yahoo 31.9ms (4x Google)

This may be an indication that Google is the fastest search engine.

Ping only measures the "distance" from your computer to another computer on the net. All your test shows is the Google server computers are much "closer" to your computer than the other server computers. It tells nothing of the server computer or search software speed. The search engines themselves tell you how long the search took, use that figure to compare.

How were early geographic land maps made before the advent of modern technology?

These days they are in digital data. A cartographer will manipulate the digital data to revise them. It's possible to create site centred maps in this way.

In the past they were fair drawn and transferred onto printing plates.

To survey a map there are a range of options. Many of the maps today were created by traditional methods as shown below.

1. Stellar observations: to fix them in the right place in the world

2. Triangulation (at different precisions, depending on the size of the map): to create a framework

3. Traversing: to create control stations in populated areas.

4. Detail Survey: to add all the detail required by the map users.

Aerial surveys and GPS make life much easier today.

The stages in a budgeting process normally start with a communication from the centre as to what the budget policy is for the year with guidelines and briefing notes.

What products were sold in ancient Agora?

Central to every Greek city and town was the agora, a marketplace and meeting place. It was a large, usually rectangular space surrounded by buildings. Platforms, altars and statues of gods, sportsmen and political figures could also be found there. The stoa, which formed an edge of the agora, was a long building with columns. Shops were located in the stoa. More expensive items could be bought here.In some cities, local councils met in nearby buildings; other buildings were used to store public records and important political documents. Public spectators could watch criminals being placed on trial in the agora.Men and slaves usually did the shopping, with slaves and donkeys carrying the purchases; wealthier women may have visited to buy perfumes, jewellery and expensive cloth.Farmers came with their produce. In the large empty space of the agora, stallholders set up their sun shaded tables and sold such items as meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, cheeses, eggs, honey, wine, olive oil and animals (e.g. donkeys, horses, hens). Fresh meat and fish were displayed on marble slabs that kept the food cool. "Fast food" was also sold to hungry and thirsty shoppers.

In what year were cornflakes invented?

Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the superintendent of The Battle Creek Sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan invented Cornflakes. The story goes that Kellogg was trying to improve the vegetarian diet of his hospital patients. Whilst he was boiling wheat to try to make an easily digestible substitute for bread, Kellogg accidentally left a pot of boiled wheat to stand and become tempered. When it was put through a rolling process, the grains of wheat emerged as large, thin flakes. When the flakes were baked, they became crisp and light, creating the corn flake. He patented his product on 31 May 1884. The cornflake still had a way to go before being perfected. John Kellogg, with his brother Will Keith Kellogg, started the Sanitas Food Company to produce their whole grain cereals around 1897. The brothers argued over the addition of sugar to the cereals, so in 1906, Will started his own company called the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company, which eventually became the Kellogg Company.
