the posted:In the television show "House," Dr. Lisa Cuddy treats patients in the free clinic even though she's the Dean of Medicine. Do Deans actually do this, or is this just in this show as a plot device so that House can pop in and interrupt her? Depends on the hospital. I worked at a university teaching hospital where yes, the Dean of Medicine worked 1 clinic day per week. Mostly it was to see long-time patients that he'd been following for years, but occasionally he took a new patient or a walk-in. He also did Grand Rounds once or twice a year which meant seeing inpatients. Other hospitals will vary depending on the Dean's administrative workload and his or her interest in seeing patients vs conducting research.

unarmed1618 posted:If a house in minnesota (average yearly temperature=40 deg. F) has 19 16X32" clerestory windows on it's south side, and the utility bill in October is 115 dollars, Jan is 360, May is 138, how big is the house? I don't think this is sufficient information to answer the question. Do you have the physical address of the house and/or the name of the owner? Most counties have online tax information that mentions the square footage. Google something like "GIS countyname County statename tax records" (GIS = geographical information system in this case)

The Aphasian posted:Where can I find some pictures online of a Jian (mythical bird)? A GIS for "鶼鶼 illustration" led me to this page, which calls them Hiyoku-no-tori or 比翼の鳥. There's one very nice illustration on that page and a few less so. A GIS for 比翼の鳥 gives me a few more nice images including a nice one here. Hope that helps!

thelightguy posted:Bug lamps - you know, those yellow incandescent lamps people stick in their outside fixtures because bugs supposedly can't see them - did they exist/were they commonly used in the 1930s? From http://entweb.clemson.edu/pesticid/history.htm: quote:1931 It takes a while for new recommendations to become popular, so that implies a few years' delay before they became widespread. Additionally, this seems to imply that it was just becoming common that new homes were built with electric lighting, but that would mean any older homes still used gas. So I doubt they were commonly used - they may have been found in the most urban, newest construction, but if your setting is rural/older, probably not.

wigtrade.cc posted:Hey does anyone remember those patterns on the back of cereal boxes that usually just looked like a lot of random noise until you put on these special glasses which would reveal the hidden words? Decoder images. If you want to see examples, a GIS for "decoder red glasses" gave me the largest set of results.

McGiygas posted:I remember talking in my ceramics class about vintage red Fiesta ware (the ones with the uranium oxide glaze) and the teacher mentioned that some university had a display of the red Fiesta ware. Which university is it and are there any pictures or videos of it? Google "site:edu red fiestaware" or "site:edu radioactive fiestaware" (since some schools call it orange) - lots of different schools have info on it, most with pictures. Georgia State has the most information so maybe that's the one? There's also this page which seems to be associated with a museum, but it's not strictly speaking a university museum.

Elijya posted:How do tax deductions work with charity auctions? If I participate in a charity auction, and win an item/service that someone donated, can I write off the money from my bid even though I'm getting something for it? Does the person who made the donation get to write off the amount it sold for? That seems like double-dipping to me, so I wasn't sure how it all works, typically. No. Typically it's the donor of the item you are bidding on who gets the tax write off.

Ridonkulous posted:I'm Tryin to figure out a quoteand it's source but google is not helping because I don't have enough of the quote. Please help. Is there any chance you're thinking about the bible quote that goes "Consider the lilies of the field; they toil not, nor do they spin..."? Actually a large number of quotes, biblical and otherwise, seem to follow the "they do not X, nor do they Y..." pattern. Google: 'quote "do not", "nor do they" ' with the double quotes but not the single quotes.
