Given the problem below, show how to convert the metric units to standard English (or Empirical) units.How much time would it take for an airplane...

To convert the quantities as expressed in the given
problem to standard English units of miles/hour and miles one should consider using
conversion factors.  A conversion factor is a fraction which is set up in such a was as
to cancel units we wish to eliminate and leave the desired units.  To obtain a
conversion factor, we start with basic definitions which relate the units of measure in
question:

1.00 miles = 1.6092
km

In the stated problem we wish to eliminate the km and
change them to miles.  Therefore our conversion factor must be set up so the miles are
in the numerator and the km are in the denominator.  We do this by dividing both sides
of the definition by 1.6092 km:

1.00 mile/1.6092 km =
1.6092 km/1.6092km  gives us the conversion factor

1 = 1.00
mile/1.6092 km

We can now use the conversion factor 1.00
mile/1.602 km to convert our given quantities.

4,700 km X
(1.00 mile/1.6092km) = 2,920 miles

790 km/hr X (1.00
mile/1.6092 km) = 490 miles/hr

We can see that the time of
the trip is still

T = 2,920 miles / (490 miles/hr) = 5.94
hours 

What happened to Grendel at the end of part one?

At the end of part one of Beowulf,
Grendel is mortally wounded by Beowulf.

Grendel enters into
Heorot after having its doors closed for twelve years. Grendel returns to Heorot upon
this night because the celebrations have resumed. A hero, Beowulf, has arrived at Heorot
to rid the mead hall of the monster.

Upon arriving at
Heorot, Grendel notices that the men sleeping in the mead hall are much larger and
stronger looking than the Danes he encountered there before. Regardless, he enters
anyway.

After killing one man, the last he will ever kill
(as foreshadowed by the quote "Destiny did not permit him to seize any more of mankind
after that evening"), Grendel grabs onto Beowulf's arm. Beowulf immediately returns the
grab. After a short battle, Beowulf has defeated Grendel. Beowulf has taken Grendel's
arm (which is hung "beneath the high gabled roof"). Beowulf, mortally wounded, slinks
back off to the lair he shares with his mother.

What is the genetic disorder of cystic fibrosis and what are the symptoms?

Cystic fibrosis is a disease that is inherited by children
from their parents. For a person to have cystic fibrosis, two copies of the cystic
fibrosis gene have to be inherited, one from each
parent.

Cystic fibrosis leads to the accumulation of mucus
in vital organs like the lungs, the pancreas and the digestive system. This leads to the
lungs getting inflamed which does not allow the patient to breathe normally. The
collection of mucus in the pancreas and the digestive system does not allow normal
production and distribution of enzymes which inhibits digestion. To manage the effects
of cystic fibrosis, patients have to take synthetic enzymes with their
food.

Some symptoms of cystic fibrosis are frequent lung
infections, difficulty in breathing, a salty tasting skin, poor growth and difficulty in
bowel movements.

i want to know,, if where really it started our values in life?im a little bit confused about it...? nothing

The usual advice is to live in the present. The past is
behind you, and the future seems too far away to think about. Our current moments, as
they say, are all we have. Generally, that’s good advice…but there are times when
thinking ahead can be valuable

If your goals are
vague, and you don’t put enough energy into establishing what they are, then you’ll find
yourself losing focus before you even have a chance to
succeed.

When you
think ahead, you see those opportunities. You also have a chance to pursue
them. 
Every day, you experience something new,
and often that distracts you from your priorities rather than suggests new approaches to
achieving your
aims

Take notice of
people who think quickly on their feet in meetings. You may be impressed and think to
yourself: these people are really clever.

It's important to
know what personal values we want to achieve in life, on and off the job. Then we can
make career choices that help us meet the most possible of these values. Making an
initial list of our values is usually the easy part. Most of us can come up with a long
list. The real challenge - the tough part of determining values - comes in the choices
we have to make in setting our priorities, in deciding which values we will give up or
trade off when we face inevitable
contradictions.

What are the differences between human and animal communication?

In rebuttal of the statement that animal communication is
inclusively instinctual and not learned, studies have been conducted with domestic dogs
and wolves brought up in captivity around humans. While dogs that are pets watch the
faces of humans and react according to their expressions, the wolves or wolf-mix dogs do
not generally pay attention to the owner's expressions. Therefore, it seems safe to say
that pet dogs have learned what certain facial expressions mean and they react
according.

readability="4.1142857142857">

...a new study has found that dogs
are able to tell the difference between happy and angry human facial expressions. ( href="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2008/03/animal-minds/virginia-morell-text">Related:
"Animal Minds" inNational
Geographic magazine.)

Of
high intelligence on the scale of animals, dogs have learned from experience that
certain reactions and voice level come from an owner depending upon the facial
expression. They have also learned that certain behaviors of theirs elicit certain
facial expressions and reactions from their owners.This fact is verified by biologist
Corsin Muller of the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna Austria. In this study
eleven dogs, among which were a fox terrier, border collies, a German Shepherd, a Golden
Retriever, and several mixed breeds, were trained to touch a screen that had either a
happy face or an angry face for a treat.

To ensure that the
dogs were not simply responding to just a smile or some single expression, they were
shown either top parts of a face or the bottom parts. The dogs were shown strange faces
(the left side of the face was used as dogs seem to prefer looking at this side), yet
the ones trained to identify happy faces were consistently able to do so. Other dogs
were trained to select the angry ones. Interestingly, more training was necessary for
the angry faces, possibly because the results of angry faces were negative (no belly
rubs or treats); nevertheless, the dogs identified these angry
faces.

While there may be no scientific proof, many a pet
owner will adamantly assert that his/her pet communicates with him/her. For instance,
one dog owner once had an intelligent mutt who "could not lie about her misbehavior."
Whenever she had eaten something not intended for her or done something wrong, if the
owner questioned her "Did you do this?" in a certain tone of voice, she would sit up,
and make a unique noise, hang her head, and nervously tap her tail quickly on the floor.
If she had not done the action under question she would not move her tail, and she
looked straight at the owner. Her answers were correct 100% of the time, the owner
asserted. Another owner of a horse spoke several times about how her horse seemed to
intuitively know what she was thinking sometimes. For instance, she stopped during her
ride one time to decide at a fork which path to take (she had never been there before).
After a couple of minutes she decided. At the very moment at which she made up her mind,
her horse, who had been munching on grass while waiting, suddenly jerked its head up and
went toward the path which deviated from the one on which they had been; this was the
one upon which the owner had decided. While scientists have contended that man has
ignored his sixth sense so long that it is diminished, this horse seems to have
it.

What are the parallels between the families of Agamemnon and Odysseus?

The stories of Agamemnon and Odysseus both belong to an
epic tradition referred to as the `return cycle`, a narrative tradition concerning the
returns of the heroes from Troy, of which only the Odyssey is preserved in epic form.
Many Greek tragedies are based on return stories.

In the
cases of both Penelope and Clytemnestra, the wife anxiously awaits the hero`s return.
Penelope remains faithful to Odysseus and spurns the suitors; Clytemnestra takes
Aegisthus as a consort and they together kill Agamemnon. Athena advises Odysseus and
Telemachus and helps them. Cassandra gives true advice to Agamemnon but because she was
cursed by Apollo is not believed and thus can avert neither his death nor her own.
Agamemnon has killed his daughter Iphigenia, which alienates Clytemnestra; Odysseus has
never harmed Telemachus.

In Chapter 39 of Great Expectations, how have Pip’s expectations changed?

This is an interesting question, because it is possible to
argue that Pip's expectations have not actually "changed" at all, in the sense that all
of the foreshadowing that Dickens has carefully planted has come to fruition, and we see
that the association with crime and with illegal activity that has accompanied Pip's
life from the opening chapter, when he is forced to steal for Magwitch, comes full
circle and he realises that his "great expectations" are based on nothing more than
dirty money emerging from a convict.

However, on the other
hand, Pip has believed that his great expectations are thanks to Miss Havisham, and that
part of those expectations involves a happily-ever-after marriage to Estella. With the
realisation that his wealth has a very different source, poor Pip is left to realise
that his hopes and dreams of being intended for Estella are vanished, as his response
the following morning shows:

readability="11">

When I awoke without having parted in my sleep
with the perception of my wretchedness, the clocks of the Eastward churches were
striking five, the candles were wasted out, the fire was dead, and the wind and rain
intensified the thick black
darkness.

This revelation has
signalled both to Pip and to the unobservant reader (if they haven't already realised)
that this will not be the fairy tale that Pip thinks it will be, but rather a somewhat
more warped reality which plunges Pip into darkness as he realises the truth about the
source of his expectations and where that leaves him. Note the pathetic fallacy in this
quote: the weather mirrors the feelings that Pip himself is
experiencing.

In Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, how many people go on the pilgrimage? What characteristcs does Chaucer like and what characteristics...

In Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury
Tales, 32 characters make the trip to Canterbury. 29 of these are mentioned
in line 24 of the “General Prologue.” The narrator joins this group (making 30). The
host, Harry Bailey, makes 31. The Canon’s yeoman, who joins the group later, makes
32.

If one had to make a gross generalization about the
virtues Chaucer commends and the vices he attacks, it would not be wrong to say that he
condemns pride (selfishness and love of self) and that he commends selflessness and love
of God. Pride, in Chaucer’s day and beyond, was considered the root cause of all other
sins. Pride involved placing oneself and one’s own interests before love of others and
especially love of God. By the same token, love of God was considered the most effective
antidote to pride.  Anyone who loved God truly and deeply would almost automatically
love everything else – and everyone else – in the proper
way.

The Knight, for instance, is a perfect instance of a
character who loves God first and foremost and who therefore provides an exemplary model
– a standard by which the other pilgrims can be judged. Little wonder, then, that
Chaucer begins with the Knight.  After reading about him and his worthiness, it is easy
to see how many of the other characters fall short of the example he sets. He is modest,
courageous, charitable, kind, and thoughtful, and thus he deserves his famous
description as “a verray, parfit, gentil knight” (72).

On
the other hand, his son, the squire, seems vain and somewhat immature.  He is not an
evil character by any means, but he is preoccupied (as young men often are) by the
pleasures of the world far more than his father is.  The same is true, ironically, of
many of the “religious” figures, including the Prioress, the Monk, the Friar, and
various others.  Most of the characters, in fact, display some sort of selfishness or
vanity that makes them targets of Chaucer’s often subtle satire.  They are shown to be
in bondage, in various ways, to the world, the flesh, and, implicitly, the devil – the
three great enemies all Christians in the middle ages were told they had to
resist.

In contrast, characters such as the Clerk, the
Parson, and the Plowman all provide, like the Knight, examples of worthy behavior in
their different ways. The Clerk is devoted to true study, thus using his God-given gift
of reason in the proper way.  The Parson is perhaps the only religious figure employed
by the Church who actually seems to deserve his job, because of his loving commitment to
his parishioners. And the Plowman, the Parson’s brother, has a humble social status but
is a splendid spiritual example.  The narrator says of the Parson that he was
always

Living
in pees and parfit charitee.

God loved he best with his
hoole herte

At all times, though him gained or
smerte,

And thanne his neighebor right as himselve.
(534-37)

In other words, the
Plowman’s love of God is constant (whether he is enjoying good fortune or enduring bad
fortune), and his love of God leads him to love his neighbors as he loves himself. 
This, it would seem, is the basic ideal by which Chaucer measures all his characters and
finds many of them sadly lacking.

In Pride and Prejudice how does Jane Austen use writing techniques to convey tone to influence the reader's opinion of certain characters,...

Some elements that can help analyze
tone are diction,
details, imagery, and
sentence structure. When Austen is describing  something
that she particularly feels is ridiculous, such as Mr. Collins, we can pick up on subtle
changes in these elements. While we are limited in space and can't go into detail about
all of the above here, below are a couple of ideas to get you
started.

Diction specifically refers to
an author's choice of words. Words have connotations as well as literal meanings, and
every word is chosen with care and intention. One word we see Austen using in her
description of Mr. Collins is eloquent. In particular, when he is
dining for the first time at Longbourn, after dinner, Mr. Bennet attempts to make
conversation with him by asking him about Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Austen then
describes Mr. Collins as being "eloquent in her praise" (Ch. 14). Though a reader might
miss it at first, this phrase and word particularly smacks of
sarcasm because, not only is it ridiculous of Mr. Collins to carry on
about Lady Catherine as he does, we later see that there really is little about Lady
Catherine that is worthy of being praised. She represents the characteristic noble class
that Austen is criticizing in the book. She is prideful, condescending, and treats
individuals as lesser people, such as Elizabeth even though she is a gentleman's
daughter simply because she has working class relations. The only other place we see
Austen use the word eloquent is in her description of
Darcy's first proposal. Austen relays that Darcy was "not
more eloquent on the subject of tenderness than of pride," meaning that he spoke less
about the nature of his feelings and more about the fact that his feelings degrade his
pride since Elizabeth is considered beneath him due to her working class relations, even
though she herself is a gentleman's daughter (Ch. 34). Here again we can
hear the sarcasm of her tone
because wounded pride clearly is not something one should be
eloquent about, or dwell on for any length of time, when
offering marriage.

The details Austen
relays in her characterization of Mr. Collins also clearly
reveal her tone. For example, after Mr. Collins praises the
fact that Lady Catherine approved of all of the changes he has made to his new parish
home, Hunsford, he also praises the fact that she suggested changes of her own. In
particular, Austen points out that Lady Catherine suggested adding "some shelves in the
closets up stairs" (Ch. 14). This may be a very subtle allusion to a reader who is
unfamiliar with the culture; however, the reader might notice that the punctuation
Austen chose to use signifies the comment's importance. She uses dashes to set it apart,
plus it is the last phrase in this paragraph describing Mr. Collins's exuberance over
Lady Catherine. Once the reader has noticed the phrase's importance, one can then
consider that those closets refer to bedroom closets, and that putting
shelves in a bedroom closet is an absolutely
ridiculous idea because it leaves the ladies with
absolutely no place to hang their gowns. Hence, this one
subtle detail does a lot to set the
tone and to paint both Mr. Collins and Lady Catherine as absolutely
ridiculous people.

Who are some of the characters from Bud Not Buddy and what are some words that best describe them? Thank You.(You Do'nt have to mention Lefty Lewis...

Other than Lefty Lewis and Bud Caldwell, there are several
characters in the novel, “Bud, Not Buddy” who impact the plot of the story. For
instance, Billy Burns is a bully who lives in one of the orphanages. Also, when Bud
strays into the Hooverville, he meets and kisses a young girl, Deza Malone.  Deza is not
a prim young lady. Rather, she is curious about boys and bold enough to act on her
curiosity.

During the visit to the Hooverville, Bud loses
Bugs, his friend and blood brother, when Bugs runs to catch the passing train. He and
Bugs had been good friends. In fact, Bugs found Bud to ask him if he wanted to ride the
trains with him. Bugs was loyal and brave.  He wanted to travel the country with
Bud.

Bud believes that the cranky band member, Herman E.
Calloway, is his father despite the fact that he has no absolute proof.  Calloway is
impatient and pushy. Miss Thomas is also in the band; yet, she is compassionate. She has
a delicate concern for Bud and the other band members treat him kindly because she does
so. Herman E. Calloway is the only one who hesitates to warmly receive
Bud.

How did those living both inside and outside of Chicago in 1890 view the city?

You asked two questions, and the second one seemed to be
the most comprehensive and helpful. The Devil in the White City by
Erik Larson is an account of the World's Fair in Chicago in the late 1890s. In it we
discover that Chicago was seen as a lawless, dirty, heathen, and backwards place by the
presumably more cultured and refined people in the East--and they were the ones who
mattered at the time.

New York was in contention for the
site of the Fair, and the people of New York were confident they would be chosen over
such a wild and undeveloped place as Chicago. When that did not happen, the people of
Chicago--and particularly the architect Burnam--found themselves an enemy of the
powerful city. None of the architects there would agree to work on the project, even
though in the end it would be a  reflection on their country. They were bitter enough
about the snub to let Chicago--and America--fail. Finally Burnam manages to get some of
them to work with him, but they--like most of the East--still saw Chicago as an unworthy
site to display America's best.

People in Chicago were,
indeed, a little overwhelmed at the scope of the project, and it takes them a while to
really get the project settled and going. They moved the site to edge of the water,
which in many ways shows their lack of understanding about the significance of the Fair.
The city did prepare for its guests in the best way it knew how, but it was still
basically a city of mud and squalor. Once the White City came to life, the city of
Chicago began to take pride in their grand
accomplishment.

In general terms, the East was right about
the physical conditions of Chicago. It was a rather wild and dirty place; however, in
terms of talent and ability, the East underestimated the talents and abilities of these
Midwesterners. When the world came to Chicago, it was met with an unexpected refinement
and hospitality (with the glaring exception of the killer Holmes) which made their
World's Fair experience even richer.

Summarize the plot of Edgar Allen Poe's short story, "The Masque of the Red Death." Please identify the climax of the story.

Prince Prospero, protagonist of "The Masque of the Red
Death," attempts to escape a plague decimating his land by retreating to a walled abbey.
Immediately, this action sets up a conflict, because it is the duty of the prince and
the nobles to try to alleviate suffering, not just to protect themselves. It echoes the
conflicts between safety and duty during the Black Plague, as chronicled, for example,
in Defoe's Journal of the Plague years. The name Prospero also invokes the similar
retreat and isolation of the powerful Prospero of Shakespeare's "Tempest." The Prince
holds a masquerade ball in the abbey. Suspense builds as a mysterious figure costumed as
the Red Death circulates around the masquerade. At the climax, the Prince confronts the
Red Death, which is unmasked not as a person, but as the inescapable disease itself. As
in many stories by Poe, horror is created through a sense of inevitabilty, i.e. that no
matter how much characters struggle to escape fate, their fate closes in on
them.

What is the difference between Theatre and performing art (Fine Arts)?Theater is a performing art, but what is excatly differentiates it from the...

Performing Arts is a large umbrella that includes Theatre,
Music, and Dance.  Fine Arts typically refers to the Visual
Arts.

According to Aristotle (Ancient Greece), there were
six essential dramatic elements: Plot, Character, Theme, Language, Music and Spectacle.
 While theatre artists might debate whether all six are absolutely necessary, you can
easily see that all are still a major part of a theatrical
event.

Using this list to compare Theatre to Fine Arts, it
is evident that there are significant differences.  A visual artist may include some of
these elements in their work, but I can't think of a single piece of visual art that
uses all of them.

Of course, the main difference is that
theatre, as a performing art, is meant to be performed and viewed at the same time.  A
piece of visual art is created first and then viewed.  Unless, of course, you are
talking about performance art, which is a hybrid of theatre and fine art.  In this form,
the creation of the art is meant to be viewed, but the emphasis is more on the visual
than on plot, character or language.

Can extracurricular activities help reduce teenage sexual activity?

I will argue that involvement in extracurricular
activities can help to reduce sexual activity in some teens.  Specifically, I will argue
that teens who engage in sexual activity as a way to improve their image of themselves
will be less likely to do so if they participate in
extracurriculars.

One reason for teens to have sex is low
self-image.  Some teens do not really like themselves.  They may engage in sexual
activities because they think this is the only way they will get others to like them. 
Or they may do so because it makes them feel like they are worthwhile.  If teens are
having sex for this reason, extracurriculars could help
them.

Extracurriculars can give teens a feeling of
accomplishment and belonging.  Teens can find an activity that they are good at.  This
will help them feel more worthwhile.  They can be part of a group.  This, too, will help
them feel more likeable.

In these ways, extracurriculars
can help reduce sexual activity among some teens.

How do we know Rainsford is an exceptionally fit man in "The Most Dangerous Game"?

After falling off the yacht, Rainsford shows his
athleticism by surviving the fall and the long swim past the treacherous rocks to
Ship-Trap Island. He began to doubt whether he could make
it.

For a
seemingly endless time he fought the sea. He began to count his strokes; he could do
possibly a hundred
more...

But when shots rang
out in the distance, Rainsford renewed his efforts.

readability="11">

He was almost on the rocks before he saw them;
on a night less calm he would have been shattered against them. With his remaining
strength he dragged himself from the swirling waters. Jagged crags appeared to jut up
into the opaqueness; he forced himself upward, hand over hand. Gasping, his hands raw,
he reached a flat place at the
top.

After a comfortable
night in General Zaroff's home, Rainsford was forced to be the prey for the Russian's
special game, and Rainsford was used all of his physical reserves to survive his two
nights on the run. He began by moving quickly, then executed "intricate loops" to double
his trail. He crawled when he needed and got no sleep the first night. The next day he
climbed trees, set traps and survived a brush with the quicksand in the Death Swamp.
Realizing he could not evade Zaroff's relentless pursuit, Rainsford chose to dive from
the cliff and take his chances with the rocks below. Another long swim returned him to
Zaroff's chateau, where he waited in Zaroff's bedroom. And then it was off for another
round of hunting--this time with Zaroff as the prey. Rainsford's physical prowess no
doubt contributed to his being the winner of the second hunt, and he was finally able to
enjoy a comfortable sleep in Zaroff's own bed.

If the original function gives the carbon 14 remaining as a function of the number of of years that have passed, what information does the inverse...

The decay function of the carbon-14 isotope is an
exponential function: N(t) = No*e^(-`lambda` *t)

`lambda`
is the decay constant, N(t) is the number of carbon 14 atoms remaining at time t and No
is the number of carbon atoms at t = 0.

The inverse
function can be calculated in the following way:

N(t) =
No*e^(-`lambda`*t)

=> N(t)/No =
e^(-`lambda`*t)

=> ln[N(t)/No] =
ln[e^(-`lambda`*t)]

=> ln[N(t)/No] =
(-`lambda`*t)*ln e

=> ln[N(t)/No]/(-`lambda`) =
t

The inverse function provides the number of
years that have passed if the carbon-14 remaining at a time t and the initial amount of
carbon 14 are known.

How does Amir please his father in The Kite Runner and to what extent does he succeed in doing so and at what cost?

Amir is rarely able to please his domineering father,
Baba, during his youth in the opening chapters of The Kite Runner.
Perhaps the only example comes when Amir wins the kite-flying contest, besting all of
the other entrants in Kabul. But Amir makes up for lost time when the two immigrate to
California. While Baba is forced to do menial work, Amir flourishes, achieving his goal
of graduating high school and, then, college. The two bond with one another on weekends
at the San Jose flea market, and Amir makes Baba proud when he falls in love with
Soraya, the daughter of the important Afghan General Iqbal Taheri. When Baba is
diagnosed with cancer, Amir is genuinely concerned, and he and Soraya take care of Baba
until his death. Baba dies knowing that Amir has become a mature, successful adult, but
the secrets he dies with--and which eventually become known to Amir--makes Amir question
his father's sense of honor and reevaluate their relationship.

Please help me... I have a question from my teacher : Prove the average cost and marginal cost intersect at the minimum average cost!

The
short-run marginal cost (MC) curve will at first decline and then will go up at some
point, and will intersect the average total cost and average variable cost curves at
their minimum points.
The average variable cost (AVC) curve will go down (but
will not be as steep as the marginal cost), and then go up. This will not go up as fast
as the marginal cost curve.
The average fixed cost (AFC) curve will decline as
additional units are produced, and continue to decline.
The average total cost
(ATC) curve initially will decline as fixed costs are spread over a larger number of
units, but will go up as marginal costs increase due to the law of diminishing
returns.

How may Beowulf's defeat of Grendel be described as the defeat of the "dark side" of the warriors's life?

In the epic poem, Beowulf, the hero
(Beowulf) defeats Grendel. Grendel represents darkness and evil. Grendel has been
banished into darkness given his ancestral link to Cain. Since his exile, Grendel has
been required to live only in darkness and cannot enter into the light. As the foe of
God, Grendel automatically becomes a foe of Beowulf.

The
epic is written from a Christian perspective. This means that the story supports
Christian theology and, therefore, the importance of good conquering
evil.

Beowulf, the Christian hero, must defeat God's foe,
Grendel. By conquering Grendel, Beowulf is able to show that God looks upon him with
favor. Therefore, his defeat of Grendel depicts the crushing of the dark side of life.
If Beowulf has a dark side, it is defeated by enacting revenge in the name of God upon
the hell-monster.

HOW R MOUNTAINS FORMED AND WHY R THERE MOUNTAIN LIKE AREAS MORE ON COSTAL AREAS RATHER THAN IN URBAN AREAS

Mountains can be formed more than one way, but the
commonest is by uplift. The surface of the Earth is composed of a number of separate
areas called tectonic plates, which float on the underlying mantle. Overall the tectonic
plates fit together like puzzle pieces, but as they move sometimes two of them will push
toward each other, and they will push each other upward and form a mountain range. Some
mountains are coastal, but others (for instance the Himalayas and the Rockies)  are far
inland; it all depends on where the edges of the plates
are.

As for the second part of your question, keep in mind
that the mountains came first, and the cities were settled later. People tend to settle
where there are resources that they need, such as a steady supply of drinking water,
arable land for producing food, and materials for building things. Since mountains tend
to be an impediment to travel and transportation of materials, and also tend to have
areas of harsher climate, most cities have grown up in flatter locations that were
easier for people to live in.

What techniques does the government use to try to find Montag in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451—and are they things used in society today?

In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, there are several ways
that the government tries to find Montag. First, there is the Mechanical Hound—which was
already with them at the fire—a "tool" the firemen used when they were burning the
houses of those with books, or chasing those people who tried to run away. The hound has
a needle with a solution that it injects into its "victim" which numbs the person.
Montag has killed his sergeant, Beatty. With this, the hound flies at
him.

It made
a single last leap into the air coming down at Montag from a good three feet over his
head, its spidered legs reaching, the procaine needle snapping out its single angry
tooth. Montag caught it with a bloom of fire, a single wondrous blossom that curled in
petals of yellow and blue and orange about the metal
dog...

After Montag turns the
flame gun on the attacking hound, it is only able to partially inject Montag in the leg;
numbed, the leg is useless, slowing him down when he desperately needs to escape.
(Later, another Mechanical Hound will try to catch Montag
again.)

There is not a Mechanical Hound in today's society,
though there are weapons that shoot tranquilizers instead of
bullets.

The other Salamander engines are roaring in the
distance, looking for Montag, and the sound of police cars "cutting across town" comes
to Montag. This would be similar to S.W.A.T. teams that are called out to pursue a
criminal on the loose.

As Montag is running, he listens to
the Seashell in his pocket that is blasting out news regarding the hunt for
Montag:

Police
Alert. Wanted: Fugitive in city. Has committed murder and crimes against the State.
Name: Guy Montag. Occupation: Fireman. Last
seen...

This would be similar
to television news breaks today, information being transmitted on the radio, and perhaps
even the spread of that same information on the Internet, either as a video or an online
news article.

There are also helicopters in the sky,
similar to those we have today (except in the story, they can turn into cars and then
back into helicopters).

Some of the tools the government
uses, as Bradbury describes them in his novel, are things that are a part of our modern
society. Others are still only the result of his imagination, but may become everday
elements of our world some day.

In a "Modest Proposal," what does Swift suggest in his proposal (on the surface)?

Swift, on the surface, suggests that in order to combat
poverty and famine in Ireland, the Irish should raise their children and sell them to
the landlords of Ireland as food. It would feed the destitute or could be considered a
delicacy for the wealthy. This proposal would help poverty and famine as well as control
the overpopulation that was hurting Irish families.

He
details what percentage of the population should be fed and at what age would be ideal
for consumption. He goes on to say that of course a certain percentage must not be sold
off in order to keep breeders available to raise the next generation of children for
consumption.

Of course, below the surface, the irony of the
title "A Modest Proposal" is quite obvious as this piece is not modest but rather
frightening and horrifying. It is a satirical commentary that showcases the oppressive
situation in Ireland.

What are some purposes and effects of Chapter 23 ("The Lee Shore") of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick?

Chapter 23 (“The Lee Shore”) of Herman Melville’s novel
Moby-Dick has a number of different purposes and effects, including
the following:

• By opening by referring to an
  earlier section of the novel, this chapter helps contribute to the unity of the
  book.


• By referring to the Pequod’s “vindictive bows,”
  this chapter helps foreshadow and highlight a major theme of the novel:
  vengeance.


• By referring to the “cold malicious waves” of
  the sea, this chapter helps remind us that all ocean voyages during Melville’s day were
  inherently dangerous. This was particularly true of the extended voyaging of whale
  ships, as when Ishmael mentions here a “four-years’ dangerous
  voyage.”


• By saying that he looked upon Bulkington with
  “fearfulness,” Ishmael foreshadows Bulkington’s fate and at the same time characterizes
  himself as a man of sympathy and common sense: he is not stupidly
  brave.


• By saying that he offers this chapter as a
  “stoneless grave” for Bulkington, Ishamel indicates that at least one man – perhaps more
  – will die as a result of this voyage. His intention to commemorate Bulkington shows
  Ishmael’s own decency and concern for other people. The foreshadowing of Bulkington’s
  death already contributes to the tragic tone of the
  book.


• By referring to the forthcoming voyage of the
  Pequod as a “tempestuous term,” Ishmael hints that the voyage will not be an easy
  one.


• By characterizing Bulkington as a man ever in
  pursuit of goals besides comfort, Ishmael implies his admiration of the bravery of
  whale-men in general and thereby also implicitly characterizes
  himself as a brave man.


• By
  describing a ship as rushing

readability="5">

for refuge's sake forlornly . . . into peril; her
only friend her bitterest
foe!

Ishmael reveals his
taste for paradox and his appreciation of the complexities of life.  Ishmael is not a
simplistic thinker, as passages such as this already
imply.

• By directly addressing the reader (as
  when he asks, “Know ye, now, Bulkington?”), Ishamel engages in a kind of conversation
  with the reader, making the tone of the book more intimate and literally
  dialogical.


• At one point Ishmael declares that
  

readability="9">

all deep, earnest thinking is but the intrepid
effort of the soul to keep the open independence of her sea; while the wildest winds of
heaven and earth conspire to cast her on the treacherous, slavish
shore?

By expressing
admiration for such thinking, he thereby characterizes himself as an intrepid soul
intent on keeping his independence and avoiding slavishness.  It remains to be seen
whether Captain Ahab will also emerge as such a person. In any case, this passage
foreshadows a major theme of the novel: life itself as a kind of metaphorical
voyage.

• By declaring his admiration for people
  who take brave risks rather than living merely comfortable lives, Ishmael raises a major
  question posed by the book: should Ahab be seen as such a person, or is he something
  else, something smaller?

What does Chillingworth mean when following his talk with Dimmesdale, he says to himself, "it is well to have made this step?"The Scarlet Letter by...

In Chapter X, Roger Chillingworth, the physician for the
Reverend Dimmesdale, investigates the heart of the minister, digging into his heart,
Hawthorne writes,

readability="6">

like a miner searching for gold; or rather, like
a sexton delving into a
grave....

But, much like many
men of science, Chillingworth goes too far as he would see into the soul of his patient
as well.  Suspecting that the Reverend Dimmesdale has "a strong animal nature,"
Chillingworth probes deeper and deeper into Dimmesdale's spirit.  He tells the minister
that he has found some unsightly plants growing on a grave, where they grew out of his
heart because he may have had "some hideous secret that was buried with
him."

Dimmesdale remarks that perhaps the man wished to
reveal this secret, but he could not.  When Chillingworth asks why not, the minister
replies that only Divine mercy can disclose secrets buried in the human heart since
there is no retribution for sin, and it can only be revealed on "that last day."  To
this remark, Chillingworth asks why the person cannot "reveal it here?" Dimmesdale
replies that some must keep their secrets in order to be able to continue the good they
do.  But, Chillingworth contends that such men deceive themselves.  "Is Hester Prynne
the less miserable, think you, for that scarlet letter on her breast?" Dimmesdale
agrees,

I do
verily believe it....Nevertheless, I cannot answer for her.  There was a look of pain in
her face which I would gladly have been spared the sight of.  But still, methinks, it
must needs be better for the sufferer to be free to show his pain, as this poor woman
Hester is, than to cover it up in his
heart.

As Roger Chillingworth
tells Dimmesdale that he suspects that physical illiness can be a mainifestation of
spiritual illiness, the conversation greatly disturbs Dimmesdale, and he hurries from
the room.  After he leaves, Chillingworth congratulates himself for having "made this
step" of asking Dimmesdale about what lies in his heart.  For, he has noticed the
passion that possesses the minister, and if the minister can display such passion, he
easily could have displayed another passion, an erotic
passion:

"He
hath done a wild thing ere now, this pious Master Dimmesdale, in the hot passion of his
heart."

Now, Chillingworth is
convinced that Dimmesdale has committed a sin of passion.  He thinks he has found the
man who sinned with Hester.

What is the message of Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem "Ozymandias"?

The meaning or themes of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem
“Ozymandias” are fairly straightforward and are also highly traditional. Basically, the
poem reminds powerful people that their power is only temporary. However much powerful
people may wish to think that their power is immortal, they are only deceiving
themselves. Earthly power is mutable, and indeed all human beings (Shelley may imply)
need to remember this lesson.

What makes all these meanings
highly memorable, of course, are the techniques Shelley uses, including the
following:

• The speaker of the poem doesn’t
  himself preach; instead, he merely quotes the words of another person (the "traveller"),
  so that we are more likely to listen and consider the opinions the poem expresses. The
  speaker himself does not come across as a mere propagandist; rather, he presents himself
  as an honest reporter.


• Although the poem has obvious
  relevance to (and implications for) powerful people of the present day, Shelley keeps it
  from seeming a mere piece of contemporary political propaganda by making it a lesson
  about powerful figures of the past.  Readers are more likely to listen to a general
  moral lesson than to a lesson that seems aimed at particular political targets of the
  present.


• By keeping the poem short, Shelley gives it
  added impact and increases the likelihood that it will be read.  Few people have taken
  the time to read Shelley’s long political poems, but many, many readers have read and
  been moved by “Ozymandias.”


• By presenting this message
  about mutability in the form of a sonnet, Shelley deals ironically with a genre often
  associated with love.  However, Shakespeare’s sonnet 55 is similar in various ways to
  Shelley’s poem, as are various political sonnets by Milton and Wordsworth.
  


• Shelley uses extremely vivid and memorably imagery. 
  Rather than treating his topic in vague, abstract, or general terms, he creates highly
  specific images, as when the traveller describes a statue he has
  seen:

readability="15">

. . . “Two vast and trunkless legs of
stone
Stand in the desert... Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a
shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold
command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet
survive, stamped on these lifeless things . . .
(2-7)

• Shelley uses
  irony when he lets Ozymandias speak for himself by reporting the inscription carved on
  the dead king’s crumbled statue:

readability="8">

‘My name is Ozymandias, king of
kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
(10-11)

• Immediately
  after reporting these proud and now almost ridiculous words, the traveller merely
  observes: “Nothing besides remains” (12). Rather than spelling out the lesson for us,
  the traveller, the speaker, and Shelley all let us draw the obvious conclusions for
  ourselves. The poem thus shows respect for its readers'
  intelligence.

Name and discuss the importance of the three major sacred texts of the Abrahamic religions.

The three Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam, are often referred to as "religions of the book" because their religious beliefs
include reliance on scriptural texts as sources of religious authority; in the most
extreme form, this reliance on scripture becomes the "sola scriptura", or salvation by
scripture alone, doctrine of some branches of
Christianity.

All three Abrahamic religions accept the
majority of the Hebrew Old Testament as a religious text. Where they diverge is that
most branches of Judaism accept only the Old Testament and commentaries on it as
containing religious truth, and believe that the Messiah predicted in the Old Testament
has yet to arrive. Christians identify Jesus Christ with the Jewish Messiah, and accept
as Scripture the New Testament accounts of Jesus and his followers as well.  Islam
accepts Jesus and the Jewish prophets, and the Bible as an edifying text, but believes
Mohammed to have been the final religious prophet and the Koran given to Mohammed as the
final and authoritative scriptural text.

In "Harrison Bergeron," why does the ballerina wear handicap bags "as heavy as those worn by two-hundred pound men?"

The ballerina who reads Harrison's escape bulletin is
hinted to be the same one who Harrison chooses as his Empress. She is strong and
graceful, more so than any other woman, and her mask is "hideous." Since she has unfair
advantages in her looks, strength, and voice, she is heavily handicapped so nobody will
feel inferior in comparison.

readability="11">

She must have been extraordinarily beautiful,
because the mask she wore was hideous. And it was easy to see that she was the strongest
and most graceful of all the dancers, for her handicap bags were as big as those worn by
two-hundred pound men.
(Vonnegut, "Harrison Bergeron,"
tnellen.com)

Her voice is
"luminous" and when she (if it is she) removes her handicaps, she is shown to be more
beautiful than anyone. Her handicaps are preventing her from reaching her true
potential, as intended by the handicap laws; nobody can be better than anyone else, and
so her abilities are negated to keep her "average." If she is the same ballerina, then
her true potential was truly extraordinary, because as soon as she removes the handicaps
she is able to fly alongside Harrison.

what are the differences between leaders and managers?

The term manager typifies the more structured, controlled,
analytical, orderly, and rule-oriented end of the continuum. The leader end of the
continuum connotes a more experimental, visionary, unstructured, flexible, and
impassioned side.

Managers and leaders are not the same.
They think differently internally, and behave differently
externally.

In truth, leaders and managers tend to see different
aspects of work and organizational life as important, and therefore, worthy of their
time. They tend to treat people differently, and they spontaneously react to others
differently. They tend to allow their people to have different focuses, and to limit
their people in different ways.

Leadership is
defined as the act of arousing, engaging, and satisfying the motives of followers-in an
environment of conflict, competition, or change-that results in the followers taking a
course of action toward a mutually shared vision.

perimeter of a rectangle is 44cm if the rectangle is divided into 5 congurent rectangle find the measure of each rectangles plz draw figure

Given that the perimeter of a rectangle is 44cm,
and that the rectangle is divided into 5 congruent rectangls, find the measure of each
of the rectangles.

There is not enough
information given to give a unique answer. Let the length be given by 5a, so the width
is (22-5a). Note that 5a+(22-5a)+5a+(22-5a)=44=the perimeter. Then each of the
subdivided rectangles has dimensions l by (22-5a). e.g. for a=1 you have the large
rectangle with dimension 5x17, and each small rectangle with dimensions 1x17; if a=2 you
have the large rectangle with dimensions 6x16, and each small rectangle with dimensions
6/5x16.

a  a  a   a   a total
length=5a
---------------
|   |   |   |   |   |       width =
22-5a
---------------

If you are also given
another constraint, for instance the area of either the large rectangle or one of the
subdivided rectangles, or are asked to find the largest such rectangle by area, then you
could give a unique singular answer.

As the question is
stated, let the length be 5a, then the widthis (22-5a) and each of the small rectangles
has dimensions ax(22-5a).

*(The area of the large rectangle
is 5a*(22-5a) and the area of each small rectangle is a*(22-5a).

(2,3), (3,-2) and (8,k). find k

What is your question?

Let's
suppose that you want to determine k when the points are on the same
line.

First, we'll determine the line taht is passing
through the points (2,3) and (3,-2):

y = ax +
b

If (2,3) is on the line, then it's coordinates verify the
equation of the line:

3 = 2a + b => b = 3 - 2a
(1)

If (3,-2) is on the line, then it's coordinates verify
the equation of the line:

-2 = 3a + b
(2)

We'll substitute (1) in (2) and we'll
get:

-2 = 3a + 3 - 2a

-2 - 3 =
3a - 2a

-5 = a

a =
-5

b = 3 - 2a => b = 3 + 10 =
13

The equation of the line that is passing through (2,3)
and (3,-2) is:

y = -5x +
13

Now, we'll impose the constraint that this line to pass
through the point (8,k), too:

k = -5*8 +
13

k = -40 + 13

k =
-27

The line is passing through all these
given points, for k = -27.

Besides "Rip Van Winle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" are there any other stories that have something to do with politics during that time period?

You might like to consider "The Devil and Tom Walker" and
the way that it describes the involvement of the devil figure that appears in this story
in various political events of America, especially regarding its genesis. Although these
aren't specifically related to any of the major political events that we can see
referred to in, for example, "Rip Van Winkle," such as the Civil War, at the same time,
there is definitely a sense in which this tale, like all of Irving's other tales, can be
considered a political satire that criticises America's past involvement in a variety of
crimes. Note how the devil presents himself in "The Devil and Tom
Walker":

I am
he to whom the red men consecrated this spot, and in honour of whom they now and then
roasted a white man, by way of sweet-smelling sacrifice. Since the red men have been
exterminated by you white savages, I amuse myself by presiding at the persecutions of
Quakers and Anabaptists; I am the great patron and prompter of slave dealers, and the
grand master of the Salem
witches.

Clearly, the devil
links himself to major events of America's past such as the Salem witch trials, the
slave trade and the eradication of the indigenous peoples of America. These are clearly
very political in a number of ways.

In Henry V, how does the Prologue of Act III deal with the issue of nationalism?

A key function of the Chorus in this excellent play is to
"fill in the blanks" as it were of what the staging is unable to achieve, and to ask the
audience to use their imagination, helped by his words, to "see" what cannot be shown on
stage. Thus it is that the Chorus pleads with the audience to "eke out our performance
with your mind" and to "Work, work your thoughts." Through the description of the Chorus
in this speech and the power of our own imagination, we are encouraged to see the navy
leave England and sail to France, and we are taken to a
siege.

It is key to realise that, when it comes to the
theme of nationalism, the Chorus in this play presents one perspective or voice. The
bombastic nature of the Chorus would lead us to believe that everyone in England is
swept up in some kind of nationalistic frenzy, as the following lines
suggest:

readability="24">

Grapple your minds to sternage of this
nave,

And leave your England, as dead midnight
still,

Guarded with grandsires, babies and old
women,

Either past or not arrived to pith and
puissance;

For who is he, whose chin is but
enrich'd

With one appearing hair, that will not
follow

These cull'd and choice-drawn cavaliers to
France?

If we were to listen
to the Chorus alone, we would think that all men of age were taken by Henry to fight in
France, leaving England only populated by women, infants and old men. The rhetorical
question infers that every man would, for honour's sake, be willing to fight for England
and go to France. However, before we get swept away, let us remember that Pistol and his
cronies are going to France to fight for the soul purpose of making profit. Thus we can
see that the nationalistic spirit of the Chorus is undercut by other, dissenting voices
in the play.

Solve the following modulus equation: |x-1| = |x| +1

The modulus of a number x is a value equal to -x if x
< 0 and equal to x if x >= 0.

We have to
solve |x-1| = |x| +1

|x-1| = |x|
+1

If x - 1 > 0 => x > 1 or x >
0

=> x - 1 = x +
1,

=> -1 = 1, not
possible

If x - 1 =< 0 , x can be greater than or
equal to 0 or less than 0

=> 1 - x = x + 1 =>
x = 0

1 - x = -x + 1 => 1 = 1, always true. The
given equation is true for all values of
x<0

The required solution of the
equation is [-inf. , 0]

What do the three people who are consulted about the angel symbolize in the story?"A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

A most unconventional story, "A Very Old Man with Enormous
Wings" presents along with its magical realism a bit of satire in the three people who
are consulted about the old angel with buzzard wings,dirty and
half-plucked.

1.  Elisenda -
The wife of Pelayo is called by her husband to examine the appearance of the very old
man with huge buzzard-like wings.  As the husband and wife, Pelayo and Elisenda, stare
for long periods at the unsightly angel, they

readability="5">

very soon overcame their surprise and in the end
found him familiar. 

But,
when they try to speak to him, the angel replies in an incomprehensible dialect with "a
strong sailor's voice."  So, they consult a neighbor woman who "knew everything about
life and death." Still, in true capitalist fashion, Elisenda becomes an opportunist
and decides to sell tickets to see it.

2. The
wise neighbor woman - The neighbor who "knew everything about life and
death," the woman takes only one look before she determines that the angel has come for
Pelayo and Elisenda's child.  As a satiric representation of the superstitious character
of the Columbian people, the neighbor woman suggests that the club the old angel to
death--one must eliminate what one does not understand.

3.
Father Gonzaga - representative of the Roman Catholic
Church which also exerts great influence in the lives of the Colombians, Father Gonzaga
follows the canon of the church--"he reviewed his catechism in an instant"--in dealing
with this fallen angel.  The priest speaks to him in Latin, which all celestial beings
understand since it is the language of the Holy Church. 
However,

readability="5">

nothing about him measured up to the proud
dignity of angels.

So, in
observance of the hierarchy of the Church, Father Gonzaga determines that he must write
to his bishop so that he, in turn, can write to the Pope, the Supreme Pontiff, "in order
to obtain the final verdict from the highest courts."  Thus, nothing is really done
because of the bureaucracy of the Church.

All three of
these characters interpret the existence of the man with enormous wings within the realm
of their particular delusions thereby creating the ambiguity and absurdity that is
thematic of Marquez's narrative.

What is the game calld that Leo and Stargirl play at the mall?

I'm not sure whether Stargirl actually had a name for her
"game." You might call it the fifteen-minute game or guess the card game. What she would
do, and persuaded Leo to do with her, is pick out a person at the mall, on the street,
or wherever she happened to be and follow that person for fifteen minutes. During that
time, she would try to guess what kind of card that person needed that day. They would
invent a story for the person based on his or her body language, facial expression,
things he or she bought, and so on. The didn't actually send the cards to anyone. It was
just a way to observe people (or stalk, in Leo's
opinion).

Read chapter 21 of the book for more
information.

What is Atomicity?

The atomicity of a substance is the number of atoms that
each molecule of the substance has.

To illustrate this with
an example, consider the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to form
water.

2H2 + O2 -->
2H2O

Two molecule of hydrogen react with one molecule of
oxygen to form two molecules of water. Each molecule of hydrogen has two atoms of
hydrogen, the atomicity of hydrogen is two. Similarly each molecule of oxygen contains
two atoms of oxygen, the atomicity of oxygen is two. One molecule of water contains two
atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, the atomicity of water is
three.

In gases, mono-atomic gases have molecules that are
made of only one atom, this is shown by the inert gases. Diatomic gases have two atoms
in each molecule, examples are hydrogen, carbon monoxide, chlorine, etc. Triatomic gases
have three atoms in a molecule, examples are ozone, nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide,
etc.

How is dramatic irony portrayed in act 3 scene 5 of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet?

You have certainly chosen a scene fraught with dramatic
irony!  Of course, before we begin exploring why this is so, it's always good to review
the definition.  Dramatic irony generally occurs when a character thinks one thing,
while the reader/audience knows the reality of the situation.  The dramatic irony of
this particular scene revolves around Romeo/Juliet and the Lady/Lord Capulet.  When
Romeo and Juliet bid each other adieu in this scene they say the
following:

readability="12">

Juliet:  O, thinkst thou we shall ever meet
again?

Romeo:  I doubt it not; and all these woes shall
serve / For sweet discourses in our time to come.

Juliet: 
O God! I have an ill-divining soul/Methinks I see thee, now thou art below/As one dead
in the bottom of a tomb.

Even
if it is an audience member's very first time watching (or reading) Romeo and Juliet,
because this is, in fact, a tragedy and because of the indicators given by the chorus,
we know that Juliet is right, they will meet again; however, it cannot be amid "sweet
discourses" as the two surmise here, but amid despair and sadness.  Further, even upon
first reading and perhaps not knowing that Romeo will next be seen by Juliet
directly in a tomb, this still can be seen as incredible
foreshadowing.

Ironically, much of the dramatic irony in
this scene has more to do with Juliet's parents than with Juliet herself. First, Lady
Capulet misreads Juliet's tears:

readability="6">

Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? / What,
wilt thou wash him from his grave with
tears?

Even though the truth
comes out a bit later in the scene, here it is clear to the audience that Juliet is
pining for Romeo, not Tybalt.

Further, Lord and Lady
Capulet are absolutely thrilled with the match of Paris and Juliet.  Juliet's parents
plan for her to wed Paris on Thursday!  What we know:  Juliet is already married to
Romeo (and she wants a husband named Paris like a hole in her head, pun
intended).

What is done about the fire in Chapter 8 of Lord of the Flies?

Having seen the beast on the mountain near their original
signal fire, the boys are now afraid of returning there. There is nothing to be done
about the fire now since the beast is so near. They all seem to be willing to give up
the signal fire and all hopes of being rescued because of their fears. Only Piggy is
able to come up with what seems an obvious solution: They can build a new fire in a new
location right on the beach, far away from the beast. Ralph and his remaining followers
all agree, and they proceed to build a new fire. However, Jack has already quit the
group and is in the process of forming a new one of his own. They decide to kill a pig
and have a feast. Following their sadistic killing of the pig, they realize they have no
way to cook it. So, they raid Ralph's new fire, getting burning wood to start yet
another fire of their own.

In "The Tell-Tale Heart," how exactly did the narrator satisfy the questions of the police?

The way in which the narrator, initially at least, manages
to satisfy the police when they come knocking on his door is by coming up with a
convincing lie which is supported by the appearance of the old man's room and his own
calm demeanour. Note how the text describes this
process:

I
bade the gentlemen welcome. The shriek, I said, was my own in a dream. The old man, I
mentioned, was absent in the country. I took my visitors all over the house, I bade them
search--search well. I led them, at length, to his chamber. I showed them his treasures,
secure, undisturbed.

The way
in which the narrator is thus able to convince the police and satisfy them is based on
his creation of a plausible explanation for the scream and for the absence of the old
man, which is supported by the "secure" and "undisturbed" nature of his treasures. If
the old man had been killed, presumably the criminal would have stolen his treasures, so
showing the police that they have not been meddled with adds great credibility to his
story, because obviously the police would not believe at first that anybody would be
insane enough to kill without the desire to gain that person's
property.

What one change you would make to the structure of the federal government if you were able?

I am not sure I would really want to do this, but I often
think that I would like to change our governmental structure to make it impossible to
have divided government.  Divided government is the situation we have now where Congress
(or just one house of Congress) is controlled by the party that does not have the
presidency.

When we have divided government, it seems like
nothing gets done even if there is, as there is now, a sense of crisis in the country. 
The Democrats and Republicans can't agree on anything and our problems grow as they
bicker.  It would be nice to see us have a system in which one party got to try its
plans out without being hindered by the other party.  Then we could actually see which
party had ideas that would work.

I would change things,
then, so we would have fewer checks and balances and the executive and legislative would
be controlled by the same party.

If cosecA-sinA=x^3 and secA-cosA=y^3, then show that x^2y^2{x^2+y^2}=1

`csecA - sinA= x^3
`

`==> 1/sinA - sinA =
x^3`

`==> (1-sin^2 A)/sinA =
x^3`

`==> (cos^2 A)/sinA = x^3
`

`==> x=
((cos^2A)/sinA)^(1/3)...............(1)`

`secA - cosA =
y^3`

`==> 1/cosA - cosA =
y^3`

`==> (1-cos^2 A)/cosA =
y^3`

`==> (sin^2 A)/cosA =
y^3`

`==> y= ((sin^2
A)/cosA)^(1/3)......................(2)`

Now we will
substitute into the equations:

`(x^2 y^2)(x^2+y^2) =
1`

`((cos^2 A)/sinA)^(2/3) ((sin^2 A)/cosA)^(2/3) (((cos^2
A)/sinA)^(2/3) + ((sin^2 A)/cosA)^(2/3)) = 1`

`((cosA
sinA)^(4/3) )/ (sinA cosA)^(2/3) (((cos^(4/3) A)(cos^ (2/3) A)+(sin^(4/3) A) (sin^(2/3)
A))/(sinA cosA)^(2/3))= 1`

`==> (cosA sinA)^(2/3)(((
cos^2 A) + (sin^2 A))/ (sinA cosA)^(2/3))= 1`

Reduce
similar terms.

==> `cos^2 A + sin^2 A =
1`

`==> 1 = 1`

``Then,
we have proved that if  `secA -cosx = y^3 `   and  `csecA-sinA= x^3 `  Then, `(x^2 y^2)
(x^2 +y^2) =
1`

At the end of Chapter 3, what does Nick tell himself he needs to do before he can fall in love with Jordan Baker?

There is a roughly drawn love affair that remains
unfinished in the midwest. He must first write a letter to break up with her before he
can allow himself to get closer to Jordan. Fitzgerald is making the point that, though
love affairs can be murky in nature, there is a proper way in which to handle
them.

Identify the main conflict portrayed in " The Sniper"and explain the chioce3-4 sentences of explanation with examples

“The Sniper”, by Liam O’Flaherty offers several forms of
conflict, both internal and external. Of course, the sniper is battling against external
forcers in the form of enemy fire. He kills the soldier who prepares to fire at him from
an armored car. He also kills the woman on the street, an informant who is apparently
working with his opposition. Further, he struggles with internal conflicts, such as
hunger, thirst and pain (when the opponent sniper fires a shot into his arm). Still, it
is likely that the greatest conflict for the sniper is the civil war.  The quotations
below illustrate the sniper’s remorse:

Although the sniper
hit his target, his response to the shooting is remorseful rather than victorious. (“The
sniper looked at his enemy falling and he shuddered. The lust of battle died in him. He
became bitten by remorse.”)

Likewise, the streets are
clear. He can leave the rooftop without encountering the dangerous bullet fire from his
enemies. However, he is dissatisfied and disgusted by his role in the war. (“Weakened by
his wound and the long summer day of fasting and watching on the roof, he revolted from
the sight of the shattered mass of his dead enemy. His teeth chattered, he began to
gibber to himself, cursing the war, cursing himself, cursing
everybody.”)

Finally, when he sees the other sniper, dead
in the street, his remorse and disgust are heightened by the fact that he has killed his
brother. (“Then the sniper turned over the dead body and looked into his brother's
face.”) The death of his brother would surely be a loss under any circumstance. However,
the realization that he is the responsible party must certainly create greater disdain
for his role in the civil war that wrecks his country.

Experts say that in 2007 the world population increased by 211,000 people every day. Did experts arrive at this figure by actually counting the...

I'm not sure once in how many years the census is
conducted in each country to determine the population. I guess it is around once every 5
years.

To arrive at the number by which the population of
the World is increasing everyday, experts don't have to count the number of people born
each day and subtract the number of people that die each day from it. That is something
that would be impossible to do.

A rough increase in the
World population everyday can be estimated using other methods. Experts can take the
latest population figure of each country and subtract from it the population figure
during the previous census. The increase in population can then be divided by the number
of days that have passed between the two census. This gives the increase in population
everyday for each country. The sum of this for all the countries would give a rough
estimate of how much the population of the World is increasing by
everyday.

What year does the story take place in the book Speak?

We are never actually given a precise date in which the
novel is set. However, if we consider the various cultural references and the kind of
slang language that is used, we can effectively identify a decade. Consider the
following list of the groups that Melinda refers to as being present in her school, and
from which she is excluded:

readability="19">

We fall into clans: Jocks, Country Clubbers,
Idiot Savants, Cheerleaders, Human Waste, Eurotrash, Future Fascists of America, Big
Hair Chix, the Marthas, Suffering Artists, Thespians, Goths,
Shredders.

If we examine this
list of the various "clans" that there are at Melinda's high school this leads us
towards the conclusion that this excellent novel must be set somewhere in the 1990s due
to the cultural reference points we are given here and elsewhere. In a sense, however,
one of the great enduring values of this story, which still means that it is being read
and studied today, is that, although it is located in a specific millieu, at the same
time its theme is universal and is something that can be related to by students
nowadays.

How does Dimmesdale react the the truth that Chillingworth is Hester's husband and what does that say about chillingworths actions?

When Hester finallly tells Dimmesdale about
Chillingworth's true identity, Dimmesdale runs the gammot of human emotion. He initially
does not handle it well at all. When she first introduces the name of the man who is her
husband, Chapter 17 says, "Never was there a blacker or a fiercer frown than Hester now
encountered."

This angry posturing doesn't last long,
though. He soon falls to his knees on the forest floor, saying he should have known it
and felt it in his guts all along. He then follows this by blaming Hester for allowing
him to be in so much pain and in the clutches of the enemy for so long, just by keeping
her silence. This drives Hester near madness. She can handle anything but Dimmesdale's
disapproval. She holds the weakened, sickly man as a hug-hostage until he finally
forgives her.

Dimmesdale finally realizes that, although he
is plagued with guilt, he finally knows someone whose sins are worse than his own -
Chillingworth. He and Hester face their lowest low, but they face it
together.

How did Alexander the Great actually die when he was on his way back home from India?

According to the University of Maryland School of Medicine
report of 1998, Alexander probably died of typhoid fever.n the week before Alexander's
death, historical accounts mention chills, sweats, exhaustion and high fever, typical
symptoms of infectious diseases, including typhoid
fever.

Previous most popular theories hold that Alexander
either died of malaria or was poisoned.

Alexander died
between the evening of June 10 and the evening of June 11, 323 BC.This happened in the
palace of Nebuchadnezzar II in Babylon.
