What is the most expensive coin in the world?
The 1933 Gold Double Eagle was going to be the world's most valuable coin, but was never officially issued.
The first coin to sell for over US $1 million was a specimen of the rare 1913 Liberty Head (the "V") nickel, of which only five were struck. It is unusual among the rarest and most valuable coins in that it contains no precious metal whatsoever. It is currently the second most expensive coin ever traded, at $4.15 million.
The current record-holder is the 1804 Silver Dollar (which, despite its name, was actually struck between 1834 and 1860), a specimen of which was sold for $5 million in 2007.
What are operation concept and just in time operation?
Operations is the process of creating what it is your business sells. So for Burger King, it's how you create the burgers, fries, chicken nuggets, etc. that accounts for your revenues, for Merry Maids, it would be how the maids actually go about cleaning one's house.
An operations concept is the way you go about creating those products. For instance, Burger King has chosen a centralized kitchen method, whereas some Chinese food places choose to serve food buffet style, and some burgers are ready made and sold in vending machines.
Just-in-time operations is a method of operations that allows producers to keep very low in-house inventory levels of raw materials by ensuring that the parts used for today's production (burger patties, lettuce, tomatoes, fries, buns, chicken nuggets, etc.) arrive first thing in the morning (or several times a day) and are nearly ALL consumed during that day's production so there is nothing left over that needs to be stored until tomorrow. Tomorrow's deliveries will arrive tomorrow for the number of units that need to be produced tomorrow. This way you need very little space allocated to storage of raw materials or finished goods, but it requires tremendous skill at forecasting production requirements and coordinating deliveries.
Can you find daily satellite pictures?
You can check these satellite and aerial imagery providers (many of the latest hi-res imagery must be purchased):
NASA and NOAA make available large amounts of free satellite imagery available, but it won't be real-time or daily and you often have to search for it.
Other than Google Earth and Google Maps you can also try other mapping programs (NASA World Wind, MSN Virtual Earth, ArcGIS Explorer, etc.). There are also mapping websites: Bing Maps, Yahoo Maps, Flash Earth, etc.
Difference between Google and yellow pages?
It it not quite clear for most people what is the difference between Google and yellow pages. Well, Google its the world's biggest search engine, yellow pages its a local business directory. This huge difference seams to be confusing for most of business owners and definitely hurt their online advertising goals. If you are looking to promote your business to a local mass clientele, I don't see why one choose to list it business on a local directory.
Which version support tilt and 3D rotation?
If you mean Google Earth then all versions of Google Earth support 3-D tilt and rotation through the keyboard, mouse, or other input device. See related question below.
If you mean another software application or tool then the answer depends on the context.
What is another name for boiler hen?
The most common alternative name for a boiler hen is a 'stewing chicken', but 'boiling fowl', 'fowl' and just 'boiler' are all used. A boiler hen is basically a more mature chicken, sometimes one with a first career as an egg-layer, and in that case obviously female. I have been working on the same question as I'm translating a French cookbook, and they really like their chicken distinctions (actually all their distinctions). A nice little guide is here: http://web.foodnetwork.com/food/web/encyclopedia/termdetail/0,7770,1240,00.html
Why is it important to be specific when you specify a text string in a search?
It is important to be specific with a search string in Google because Google's Algorithm is word specific when it grades results displayed in Search ENgine Results Pages.
EG. If I am searching for the calories in a slice of stuffed crust pizza from Sbarros, i will get a more targeted result in the SERPS(Search Engine Results Pages) if I use the search "Sbarro's Stuffed Crust Pizza Calories" as opposed to "Sbarro's Stuffed Crust Pizza".
The reason is in the process of elimination. Google returns results based on eliminations so the more queries put forth the more results narrowed down to.
How to disable Google translation bar in Firefox and IE?
My answer:
Use a script called 'DontshowTranslate.user.js'
in Greasemonkey firefox extension.
1- Install Greasemonkey firefox extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/748/
Greasemonkey allows you to customize the way
a webpage displays using small bits of JavaScript.
Hundreds of scripts, for a wide variety of popular sites,
are already available at http://userscripts.org
You can write your own scripts, too.
Check out http://wiki.greasespot.net to get started.
restart Firefox.
now Greasemonkey is installed.
then load the script 'DontshowTranslate.user.js' inside
2- go on this page:
http://userscripts.org./scripts/show/60261
click on the green install button
save these two little gems somewhere on your disk for future use.
now Google Translate is gone.
if you want Google Translate back
disable the script in Greasemonkey.
i hope it helps.

What does it cost to franchise a business?
The cost to franchise a business varies, from online franchise kits costing less than $100 to high-priced consulting groups charging $100,000 and up. Both extremes of this range are ridiculous.
Many business owners successfully franchise their own businesses using franchise documents bought from vendors on the web, just as many people look to buy forms such as bill-of-sales from web vendors. Google search for/under Franchise Documents and look for a USA vendor. You will find some companies based in the USA and others outside of the USA. I would definitely buy only from a US company and from one using credit cards not Paypal.
It is a little known fact that most franchise attorneysreceive their income from representing franchisees litigating against franchisors. Is this really the kind of writer you want writing your documents?

Is Beyonce still a Christian till today in 2011?
It bothers me to have to answer this question, because when I received Jesus Christ, it was my understanding that it was forever.
I always like to go back to the oft-spoken example "You are no more a Christian because you sit(or speak, or sing) in church service than you are a car because you stand in a garage."
Back in the day when Destiny's Child were still together and making music, Beyonce made that bold statement that she wasn't "gon' compromise [her] Christianity"(I'm A Survivor, 199?) Problem is, short of murdering someone in Satan's name or getting 666 tatted on her shoulder, she has done a lot of things in the public that call into question whether or not her life is submitted to Christ(which is what it means to be a Christian. It means that, even though you are living your life and making decisions, those decisions should be made with the purpose of glorifying our Savior and drawing people to a relationship with Christ.) A lot of her celebrity has come from the bravado of she and her husband. She chose to marry a man that calls HIMSELF "Jay-hova"(still not sure what he means by that. It's hard to believe that he means to honor Jesus Christ in that he doesn't honor him in the content of his other lyrics, but that's another post.)
Back to Beyonce...sure, she's celebrity, but shows a LOT of her skin in her videos, live shows, ads, and red carpet appearances and has had no problem using vulgarity sexual inuendo in much of her acting(see her role as "Foxy Cleopatra" in Austin Powers and as "Etta James" in Cadillac Records.)
I have to acknowledge her philanthropy in the Houston area as well as around the country (and probably the world.) However, you do not have to be compelled by Christ to give to charity, seeing as they often serve as tax shelters for people with a lot of money (not saying that's why she does it, I'm just saying it doesn't automatically make her a Christian.)
Ultimately, the only one that knows what's going on with Beyonce's soul is the True and Living God. I believe that she has had ample opportunity to follow Christ. No one gets it a 100% right 100% of the time, but we can only know a tree by the fruit it produces. I'm praying and pleading the blood of Jesus Christ over Mrs. Knowles-Carter (or whatever her last name is now) and the entire entertainment industry and leaving it up to God to judge whether or not she's welcome in Heaven.
