Which countries, besides the U.S., are still using primarily the inch-pound system?

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about the metric system
According to a survey taken many years ago, the only countries, besides the U.S., that have not officially adopted the metric system are Liberia (in western Africa) and Burma (also known as Myanmar, in Southeast Asia). These two countries did not have an official policy of converting to metric, at least at the time of the survey.

What is a pound cake?

Land O'Lakes: FAQs (Frequently asked questions)
The classic recipe for a pound cake includes 1 pound each of butter, sugar, eggs and flour. It is a thick, dense moist cake. The mixing of the butter incorporates enough air to provide the support a pound cake needs. Mixing the butter with the sugar is done before all the other ingredients are added. During baking, the air in the butter expands and the moisture in the eggs turns to steam, raising and lightening the cake.

Are the team ministers primarily "administrators" ?

Total Ministry FAQ
Only if you view a traditional parish priest as primarily an administrator. Just as a rector would, Team Ministers will do some supervising, supporting, and training for the other ministers in our congregations. For example, a Pastoral Care Minister on the Team would help with the preparation of lay Eucharistic visitors (LEVs); or the Liturgist would support the musicians and help train the acolytes.

Is a point 1/72 of an inch or not?

Frequently Asked Questions for letterpress
It is important to realize that in the age of computers (more specifically, in the age of Adobe Systems and digital document preparation), there are two different measures called "points". The traditional point — created in America by Nelson Crocker Hawks in 1877 at Marder Luse and Company and adopted by the newly formed American Type Founders (ATF) in 1892 — is defined as 996 points fitting into 35 centimeters. This gives a point equal to 0.0138349", or 72 points equal to 0.

Is 3/8 inch wood thick enough?

FAQ's
For a small panel the size of mine or the size of a HotRod and with the amount of support these panels have, almost certainly so! I don't plan on being abusive to the panels anyway. For a control panel on a four-player cabinet, I would go with thicker wood, but then I would have to route out the joystick mounting area.

Cherish Bound
Pixels represent the smallest point of light a computer monitor can display. A dot represents the smallest printable unit on a printer.

Should I use a 3-inch or a 2-1/4 inch trackball?

FAQ's
The 2-1/4 inch trackball was really only used in Centipede. Most other games (golfing games, Millipede, etc.) used a 3-inch or larger ball. The 2-1/4 should have less resistance (it should spin faster and longer), but the 3-inch should be physically easier to spin and easier to control. The 2-1/4 also allows you to substitute billiard balls for the normal trackball, which can give an interesting effect. For me, it came down to cost. The WICO 3-inch trackball is $50 and the 2-1/4-inch is $25.

What is a United Inch?

Logsart.com
United inches is a term used in the framing industry that we use to describe the size of a print for the purpose of pricing. The number of united inches in any given image is the sum of its length and its width (one side only for each). Thus, in effect, it represents 1/2 of the perimeter of the print. For example, an image that is 10 x 20 has 30 united inches whereas a 24 x 36 inch print has 60 united inches. We use united inches for pricing as well as for determining shipping costs. Absolutely.

Why do we have to sell to other countries?

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about the metric system
Our own population cannot absorb all the products our industries produce. Our companies need to sell outside the U.S. to stay in business and keep U.S. residents in their jobs. Because our companies have to buy certain raw materials overseas (that aren't available in the U.S.), their money is going out of the country and they need to make sales overseas to bring back the funds used to buy those raw materials.
