Who can find world music awards 1996 full show?
It does not appear that the 1996 World Music Awards full show can be viewed anywhere online. Your best bet may be to post an ad on a site such as Craigslist and maybe someone might have recorded it.
Where are some good websites to get ocarinas?
The instrument can be purchased many places:
- ebay.com (I recommend you be sure it is brand new and not used)
- songbirdocarina.com
- stlocarina.com
- fl-oca.com/eocarina.htm
- clayz.com
- hindocarina.com
- whistleworks.com
I suggest getting the sweet potato one because it is easier for people who are just starting. Songbird.com is awesome--Zelda replicas are best from songbird or stl.
Remember that Zelda melodies are played on an Alto C in the actual game. Most of these sites will be found to sell soprano or tenor C models.
Where does Who2.com get its information?
According to the editor of Who2, Fritz Holznagel:
We do all our own original research for the biographies you see on Who2. Some we do on the Internet, but other research we do with the more classic books, periodicals, and so on. In Cincinnati I use both the public library and the Mercantile Library, a 175-year-old private institution downtown.
What is a decision trail in qualitative research?
According to Polit and Beck (2010) a decision trail (analogous to an audit log or audit trail) "articulates the researchers' decision rules for categorizing data and making analytic inferences" (page 498). Essentially, a decision trail is the documentation of the analytic choices made throughout the research. It enhances transparency and is "a useful way to enhance the auditability (explicitness) of the study" (page 498), all of which contribute to rigour and trustworthiness.

What is a public HTML directory?
A public HTML directory is a directory that the outside world can "see." There's one on every webserver, even if all the first page does is challenge for a username and password.
If the folder wasn't public, the webserver wouldn't serve it to the browser.
How to start a clinical laboratory for the clinical research?
What exactly do I need to start off this business?
Background research is reserch that shows where you got the information from and its past.
Is it ok to download more than 1 search engine in computer?
You can actually use search engines only online. There are other type of search tools that do off-line "desktop" searches, but they are not referred to as search engines.
A match
"A match" in this question means item #1 is exactly the same or very similar to item #2 (or to multiple items). The easiest way to understand "a match" versus "no matches" is to recall the childhood game in which you turn over cards in 3 rows, with say 5 cards to a row. You then turn over one card and pick a second card-- if they match, you get ahead. If they don't match, you turn both cards over and start again until you turn over two separate cards that match. This is called a "memory matching" card game.
No matches
"No matches" means that nothing is exactly the same or very similar to the question you have asked.
The matching process
The "matching" process is used by many "search" functions, online and off-line. Off-line, the best example is a library with the old card catalogue drawers with index cards for each book. Mentally, we know what subject we want and we visually search for close matches. You might search for "Civil War" and then have to manually decide what "fits" your search and what doesn't. Online, the big difference between the "memory matching card game" is that we cannot use our own judgment online as to what matches UNTIL after we see what is available. Comparing online to the library example, we can see what is in the library index but we have to do a lot of manual and mental sorting. But online, to make this easier, programmers write special programs to help us find good matches without having to spend time weeding through bad matches. BUT to be successful searchers online, we must be able to use words that narrow down the item or topic we want. For example, if I only type in "Civil War" when I actually want to find text about "Union Soldiers+Civil War", then I might get billions of "Civil War" webpages but have a tough time wading through all the results just to find the "Union Soldiers" documents/webpages.
Online Examples
1. Google uses "matches" (plus how they rank webpages) to give the best matches in the results. If you enter the search words as "dog food", Google will not show you "Atlantic Ocean", for example.
2. Any website that uses "on site" search boxes such as Google-OnSite or Freefind or Pico (all free search engines for websites) will give you "close matches" to whatever you searched for on that website.
3. Major companies or shopping websites use an internal onsite search engine. If you visited a website that sells pottery and you asked for "Native American pottery", it wouldn't show you "Canadian Artists" (unless the web designers did not properly code their webpages).
Tips to find "(good) Matches" and to avoid "No Matches"
- review how to do a library search - you'll use many of the same skills online
- "play" at searches so you learn how search engines "see" the words you enter. One interesting way to play is to enter common words and look at the number of results. For example, go to Google and type in "the" -- just the. The results will be enormous! Now, try "Home Page" or "My Page"-- again, huge results because it is used so frequently by so many people. Now, try "Zelienople PA" (yes, it is a real place!)-- you'll see it has just under 600,000 results. That's far less than the search for "the". It's very difficult to find a word or phrase that has extremely low results, unless it is an obscure topic!
- think of words that say exactly what you want
- narrow down the subject - instead of "celebrities", use the person's name or celebrity+person's name
- learn to use the built in definers like the plus sign or minus sign (plus means "include this" and minus means "exclude this")
- if you get billions of results, continue to narrow down the subject
- try different words or reverse the words
- learn how webmasters write webpages so you'll learn about "keywords"
- if you want a magazine, use that word in front of the topic, such as "magazine+cats"
- if you want professional journal articles, use "journal+the subject you want", like "journal+insomnia"
- if you want to learn grammar rules, say for "how to use commas", enter "grammar+commas"
- The more you search, the better you will get at finding the results you want.
Which two people developed the basic idea of the internet?
- Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider proposed the original concept in April 1963, in memoranda discussing what he called an "Intergalactic Computer Network".
- He then convinced Ivan Edward Sutherland and Robert (Bob) William Taylor that this computer network concept was very important.
- In the same time period, other people had (mostly working independently) developed the aspects of "packet switching", the technique used by the Internet, with the first public demonstration presented by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), on August 5, 1968, in the United Kingdom.
- In mid-1968, Bob Taylor had prepared a complete plan for a computer network, and, after ARPA's approval, a Request for Quotation (RFQ) was sent to 140 potential bidders. Only 12 took it seriously enough to submit bids.
- ARPA awarded the contract to build the network to BBN Technologies on April 7, 1969. The initial, seven man BBN team was led by Frank Heart.
- The first message on the ARPANET was sent by UCLA student programmer Charley Kline, at 10:30 pm on October 29, 1969, to Stanford Research Institute. The message arrived corrupted and the computer immediately crashed. A second attempt about an hour later succeeded.
- The first permanent ARPANET link was established on November 21, 1969, between UCLA and Stanford Research Institute. By December 5, 1969, the entire four node network was established (University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Stanford Research Institute's Augmentation Research Center (SRI), University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), and University of Utah (BYU)).
- In 1975, the ARPANET was declared "operational". The Defense Communications Agency took control since ARPA was intended to fund advanced research.
- ARPANET was formally decommissioned on February 28, 1990.
- The modern Internet was authorized by Congress on December 9, 1991.
How does all the information get into the internet?
Information gets on the Internet when somebody decides to make it available. For example, a company may put information about products and services it offers; a person may set up a personal Web site with any information he considers worthwhile to share, a non-profit organization may share information it considers important, a political or religious organization may distribute information about its goals, etc.
By the way, the information "on the Internet" is actually stored in hard disks, and similar equipment, on computers called "servers". The Internet is not a place to store information, it is just the way to access that information.
