Who invented and marketed the first “clip on” headphones? i was watching the Americans a television show on FX and it shows one of the characters wearing a clip on stile earpiece. possibly the first market for these headphones was the US government in approximately cold war era. maybe earlier than early 21st century |

What advantages have motorized infantry enjoyed over standard infantry besides speed? maybe an edit on time period would better help people answer your question. |

What advantages have motorized infantry enjoyed over standard infantry besides speed? i assume that you're asking this from a World War II perspective. if not @Ryathal's answer may be better. some of the advantages offered by mobilized infantry are no longer noticeable as technology has improved and rendered certain features obsolete. |

Are there other ancient human rights (surely in its ancient consept) documents like the Cyrus Cylinder (c. 500BC)? i'm trying to understand what you're asking. is this a resource request? are you asking for more documents about human rights in history in general? if so i think that question is too broad. however. if you're looking for documents concerning human rights in its relation to the Cyrus Cylinder that may be more do-able. if you're looking for documents related to the use of the Cyrus Cylinder and its influence over human rights during the 60s when it was prominent in Iran that's even better. It would be helpful if you could clarify your question. |

What does 'trade in' mean in this article on the Westway project? yes written in 1982 as per the citation. your explanation appears correct. but what does a "backlog of $5.7 billion...appropriating only $800 million a year" imply? as per part two of the question, i'm not sure if the paper is trying to say that the federal government has $5.7 billion worth in states waiting for highway funds and is only prepared to give out $800 million a year or if they're stemming the flow of cash for regulative purposes? What do you think the tone of quote implies? i can get more surrounding text if necessary. |

How did the bureaucratic culture of Great Britain affect its response to the protests over the Stamp Act of 1765? @ihtkwot: you're right. in a sense. yes the basic idea is that bureaucratic government was too slow to respond to the type of populist grassroots movements in the colonies. i also second Russel, correspondance between the colonies took approximately 10 weeks one way. so 4 months coorespondance time is not unreasonable. but what I'm trying to argue is that there was a clash of the cultures between Britain and the U.S. that also has to do with the legal structure in which it would be appropriate to mention deference to parliamentary supremacy. |

How did the bureaucratic culture of Great Britain affect its response to the protests over the Stamp Act of 1765? thanks @ihtkwot! let me clarify. I do have some documentation on the Parliamentary response to the Stamp Act specifically the Gage and Conway correspondence (of which I've posted an excerpt here: docs.google.com/document/d/…). I just wanted to know if there were any sources you would recommend or if this thesis needs tweaking due to a lack of relevant information. |
