Fil-Am Vets Rondalla
I would likwe to know the real History of the CPI (consummer price indexes) all around the world ?
England is the rel mother of this instrument… But in 1910-1914 all over the world the Cost of living was the most frequent question.. USA, France, Germany, Italy, Romania etc.
CPI is not used universally. The basket of goods that CPI measures also varied from country to country, for example, the Japanese CPI recently added flat screen TV to their basket of consumer goods.

I have never played an instrument before. Is it possible for me to learn a guitar song in 3 weeks?
If I play a history song I get extra credit, it could push me up to an A. I really want to do this! Have any suggestions or advice. Thank you.
If you learn to read tab, then guitar is probably the easiest instrument to learn quickly. If you practice for an hour or more a day, then you should be able to play an easy song within a couple of weeks. My first song was Holiday by Green Day, which I learned in about a month of playing.
Good luck!

What is the history of the banduria?
A 12 stringed instrument used in a rondalla.
The bandurria is a chordophone, a short necked lute in which is also flat backed and has anything from 12-stringed (Spanish examples to the bandurrias found in the Philippines in particular Northern Philippines). It is believed the bandurria has it’s origins in the medieval period in which the bandurria has a total of four strings. Later on during the renaissance period a fourth string was added. It was during the baroque period in which the bandurria was given five courses a total of 10 strings in the tuning was "G#, c#, f#, b, e and a". This is a major third above the standard e-a-d-g-b-e guitar tuning. Now in the Philippines the bandurria is found to have 14 strings and also uses their own Indigenous tuning for the bandurria in this case that is F#, B, E, A, D, G. Like with the counterparts, mandolin and charango (when speaking of Peruvian and other Andean musics). The bandurria is available in family of several different sizes.
The Bandurria in Peru: And also in Peru one would find 12, 14, 16, 20 stringed bandurrias. One of which is called a Marimacho bandurria which in English translates as "Hermaphedite bandurria, as told to me by my teacher Rene Hugo Sanchez. In this example of the bandurria this one is often played in Cuzco Peru and is considered a soloists instrument however is also played with ensembles. The instrumental arrangements may include solo which is bandurria alone or bandurria with vocals, or bandurria and guitar, or wind instruments such as the kena, bandurria, mandolin, guitar and percussion and so on. Many of the tunings for bandurria in Peru are found in the Cuzco department. The bandurria is played most often in the areas of Cuzco, Ayacucho, Araquipaand the Apruimac departmentos where the bandurria remains most popular there often in solo, or accompaniment with other instruments and or vocals.
The bandurria in this case maybe played with a pick or plectrum often nowadays with a guitar pick. The specimen I have is a 14-stringed lead bandurria in which is made in the 1950s and is a vintage model. Sounds quite resonant when played and great to play as an instrument; the marimacho bandurria is often tuned a fifth below from the bandurria specimen I have in which is similar to the charangon / ronroco is to that of the charango. The strings are particularly very light on many types of bandurria however. I can say for my specimen and personal experience with this bandurria. And if you own a similar specimen be very careful in the way you tune. Since the bandurria uses metal strings go very slowly in which you tune the strings and also make sure one should have an accurate and sensitive guitar tuner.
The Bandurria in Spain: The bandurria has its origins in Spain and medieval and earliest mentioning’s date back to the baroque area in Europe. However it’s now believed that the bandurria may have its origins to the Roman era Pandora. The bandurria in Spain unlike its Peruvian relative is much shorter in and a wider body. In the renaissance period the bandurria was played by picking with the fingers, and the technique of playing did not include the plectrum (citation bandurria/faq), the bandurria in the baroque period was a much smaller instrument then previous? Today’s bandurria in Spain is constructed from walnut, maple, ebony (fingerboard sometimes), cedar or sycamore; traditionally the bandurria had wooden tuning pegs. Today like many plucked lutes, the Spanish bandurria is assembled with machine-gear tuners.
The Bandurria in the Philippines: As with other former Spanish colonies the bandurria came relatively recent in its musical history along with other "western instruments". The bandurria in the Philippines is one of the primary instruments in playing the rondala (Philippino Folk music genre) the orchestration or assembly may be followed > bandurria > guitar > harp occasionally > octavina > mandolin > ukulele > flute, accordion, bass (upright or electric guitar) are often added in contemporary or modern rondala ensembles. The rondala in the Philippines is predominantly instrumental, other randallas in Mexico often feature the guitar, as with in other styles of rondala maybe more vocal in orientation.

What is the importance of (studying) history for propaganda, liberation and national integration? HELP!?
i need this for my history class. please help? What is the importance of (studying) history for propaganda, instrument for liberation and tool for national integration? HELP! thanks a lot!
To put it in plain English history has a horrible way of repeating itself sometimes we learn from it and other times we do not, for instance the first world war was supposed to be a war that ended all wars, but before we knew we were back fighting the Germans again it is as if the people who are in charge just ignore the signs because how many innocent people are dying in conflicts right at this moment has history taught the leaders of government no , Perhaps the politicians never learn history and of course we all know that they are only in their jobs for what they can get. when a country is at war the industries that provide the weapons and materials earn a huge amount so it is all wrong the politicians should finish the wars at their board rooms fight it out amongst themselves and no more people getting blown to pieces. Sometimes the money to be made out weighs the innocent deaths the politicians want us to believe them and to justify war when there is none. It is all about money and history is full of moments in difficult times when oil, natural resources like gas gold diamonds they all make the world go round , they are set at such a high price-by the companies to make them rare they sit in bank vaults to be sold to the highest bidder this behavior creates the market the need to own and people are stupid to fall for it , women get bought diamonds for marriage they do not realize that the human suffering to get these precious stones cost lives of innocent people .Human beings keep on making the same mistakes they are greedy selfish and cruel they have needs that some of us do not understand they create markets for rare items and everyone must have it how bizarre, History should teach us to better our lives not to make the same mistakes over and over again but some people never listen they do not want to they only want more.

If you could play ONE instrument PERFECTLY, effortlessly, which would you choose to play??
Say you were able to pick any musical instrument, and you were granted one wish to play that instrument perhaps better than anyone has ever played it in the history of humankind…which instrument would you choose? Piano, drums, guitar??? Trumpet? Violin? Sax? other? and why?
I cannot choose here, and I am putting this to a vote. My grandfather used to play ragtime on his piano, and the whole room would shake…I am so so partial to piano, using your feet and hands, it’s just an unbelievable instrument. I play it, but not nearly well enough to be satisfied, and I dream about just sitting on the bench and belting out rag or rachmaninoff, filling the room with staggering notes. I also LOVE the drums, but I’m too spastic! haha.
piano, so versatile.

What do you need to become a marine biologist?
At school, I’m doing a project and I need to know many things about Marine Biology. Such as, their salary, good schools, instruments used, history and many other things. We need at least 15 facts. Do you have any good websites I could use to get that information? Please don’t answer the questions for me because I need to make a bibliography, too.
Barry University, Miami, Florida, Marine Biology Concentration in Biology Major
Boston University Marine Program
California State, Long Beach: Marine Biology Major
^ Those are some of the best in america
A good marine biologist can work up to 110k
They study the plant and animal life in the oceans. They collect data and if a marine animal is sick they take it in and help it get better.
Marine biologists study the ecology and life of marine environments such as oceans, lakes, and ponds. They often work in teams with other scientists including geologists and engineers in order to assess the environmental impact of proposed development projects, pollution, and to research aquatic life.
Hope I helped =)

instrument issues with my 91 Dodge Shadow Highline Convertible?
The speedometer works fine, but the odometer and trip meter don’t work at all, the tachometer jumps as you accelerate and the fuel gauge is sitting firmly below E regardless of fuel level. Is it likely that changing out the entire instrument cluster could fix all of these? Is there a history regarding the instruments on this model? I just bought it.
What occurs is not only do wires internally corrode but they can actually dry out and crack or the soldiering on the instrument cluster cracks.Actually bec these clusters are made mostly via machine especially it’s soldiered board ends up with minor faulty connections usually right from the very beginning.The key here is not only does Dodge use low grade or thin wiring in some of it’s circuits but solder itself will deterate due to the O-Zone and within 10 yrs a soldered board of any kind will end up requiring to be re-soldered by removing the old solder with a soldering iron and solder sucker and then soldering new solder step by step throughout the whole board especially the grounds.
I’d try to remove the cluster and then check the solder over and use a magnifier glass check it over closely bec more then likely it has bad connections causing your problem but remember check the wiring and it’s grounds.
There could be some U pick auto wreckers out there that still have vehicles that age like yours for you to remove a cluster cheap from but I’d still check it over and have it soldered bec it’s quite old, but you might find a vehicle like yours that has had the cluster assembly replaced on it.
Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way it’s possible via a dealership or a auto parts store to perhaps get a free print out of the cluster and it’s circuit and its wiring so you’d know where to look for the ground etc wires.Just note that most ground wires are black but some might be say black with a yellow stripe but still be a ground.When they use this type of wire code it just means that the circuit that their using the ground for is labeled by the yellow stripe.So reading color codes can some times be tricky and having the wiring info could help you greatly but remember even the factory sometimes changes the color of wire they use and they don’t note the changes in the diagram.
