To teach a content area story that is not that suitable for ESL students in a mixed class, what will you do with the ESL studentsYou are an...

This is dependent really upon the level of language
acquisition each student has reached.  I have found that grouping my students in reading
situations has worked well for my ESL students.  Try to implement as many visuals as you
possibly can and keep the pace slower if possible.  If your school has side-by-sides,
these are very useful - these would be the exact book, but in their primary language.
 Lists of cognates are helpful for the students to have with them at all times during
class.  If you have a student who speaks the student's primary language as well as
english, there is also peer tutoring.  I often will get my english speaking students
started on their reading and then work with the individual ESL student, or group of ESL
students, to provide them with additional support.

Stress
the important vocabulary - if the are newcomers to the country, certainly limit your
testing to vocabulary but provide pictures/picture dictionary/translator with the
vocabulary.  DO NOT put them in the corner of the class - this can hinder the affective
part of their progression in the new culture and they NEED to feel included by YOU.
 They need to be taught just like the rest of the kids in your class if your school has
determined that you will have inclusion or mainstreamed ESL kids, but they just need
additional supports - visual aids, audio aids, translation devices, picture
dictionaries, etc.

A juice box measures 6.4 cm by 4.0 cm by 10.5 cm. It conains 250 ml of juice .The manufacturer wants to design a larger box by increasing each...

The dimensions for the small box = 6.4* 4 *
10.5

==> the volume of the box =
268.8

Let x be the ratio for the increase of the
dimenstion.

Then, new dimensions
are:

(6.4)x * 4x * (10.5)x  =
(268.8)x^3

However, we know that the volume of the new box
should contain 500 ml

Then the volume for the larger
container should be a little more that 500 cm^3    ( 1 cm^3 = 1
ml)

==> (268.8)x^3 =
500

==> x= 1.23 
(approx.)

Then new dimensions are
:

==> 7.872 * 4.92 * 12.915 =  500.2

I have to give a speech on this section of The Great Gatsby (Chapter 3, when Gatsby arrives).I'm analyzing a section when Gatsby comes in chapter 3...

It sounds like you have done a great job already! Yes,
Chapter III is of course our - and Nick's - first introduction to Jay Gatsby, and it is
key to realise how we have been prepared for his introduction by what others have said
about him and the rumours surrounding his rise to wealth and fame. You have done a great
job in identifying the "mask" that Gatsby puts on. Note too the use of unnatural phrases
like "old sport" in his dialogue and also the way that Nick
states:

Some
time before he introduced himself I'd got a strong impression that he was picking his
words with care.

It is also
important to note that just a couple of pages after this introduction Gatsby is
described as being on his own, isolated from his guests and the jazz age that he is so
eager to be a part of. It appears he doesn't "fit" in so many ways. And yet what
concerns me in your analysis is that it appears to focus too much on the negative
aspects of Gatsby. Let us also remember that in the same paragraph that your quote is
taken from, Nick tells us something very important about
Gatsby:

He
smiled understandingly - much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles
with a quality of reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in
life. It faced - or seemed to face - the whole eternal world for an instant, and then
concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favour. It understood you
just so far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe
in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you, that, at your
best, you hoped to
convey.

There is certainly
more to Gatsby's character than just his "mask" of trying to fit in to the rich, wealthy
scene of his times, and with this description we are given an insight into his genuine
character that conveys to us just what an amazing kind of man Gatsby was - which of
course emphasises the tragedy of this story as Gatsby feels that he has to be something
he is not to gain the love of his life.

What is the meaning of the title of "Lamb to the Slaughter"?

One of the reasons this story is so successful is that its
title works on many different levels, and part of the evident irony of the story is the
way that this title functions. Let us consider the main meaning of this phrase. "Lamb to
the slaughter" is used to describe someone who is normally innocent, weak and
defenceless going into a situation where they are going to get attacked, beaten up, or
killed (metaphorically if not physically). You could argue that it is Mary Maloney who
is going to get "slaughtered" by the news that her husband is leaving her. She is
clearly a well-meaning innocent. However, equally, and more deviously, it is Patrick
Maloney who comes like a lamb to the slaughter. He would never have expected his wife to
kill him (and nor would the reader) and thus goes like an innocent to his death. Of
course, the irony is compounded by the fact that lamb is literally used to slaughter
Patrick. Likewise it could be said that the policemen who come go like lamb to the
slaughter - they are intent on finding the murder weapon to find the killer, but are
innocently deceived by Mary Maloney into eating the very murder weapon that they are
talking about needing to find. They are poor, unsuspecting little lambs who are
metaphorically "slaughtered" or tricked by Mary into getting her off the crime
free.

Thus the fact that the "lamb" could be identified as
any one of the characters combined with the actual use of the leg of lamb as the murder
weapon serves to make this a highly successful ironic title that operates on many
different levels.

Describe Desdemona's personality (and what actress might portray that personality)? Quote a few lines from Othello to support your answer.

If I were the director, I would cast an actress who is
Othello's physical opposite.  She would be blonde, fair, and  delicate while he would be
tall, strong, and dark.  But beneath her gentleness, the actress would also be able to
show great strength of character.  She obeys her husband, but she is not a doormat.  She
is the epitome of perfection of a woman of that time:  beautiful, graceful,
non-confrontational, and unshakable in her love for her husband.  Desdemona does not
have Ophelia's weakness nor Juliet's immaturity.   She is able to defy her father's
wishes and elope with Othello.  Othello even calls her "my fair warrior."  She can hold
her own in front of the Senate and address her father's accusations calmly, succinctly,
and irrefutably: "I do perceive here a divided duty . . ."  With Iago in Act 2, she is
able to hold her own against his witty tongue without losing her dignity.  When Othello
rages at her and hits her, she responds quietly and assertively, "I have not deserved
this."

She is as good as Iago is evil.  She forgives
Othello not out of weakness but out of strength.  She dies loving Othello.  As she says
to Emilia in Act 4:  "His unkindness may do much; his unkindness my take my life but
ne'er taint my love."  Iago is unable to poison Desdemona's unconditional and absolute
love for Othello.

The women in this play are quite strong.
 In fact, it is interesting that only true friendship in the play is between Emilia and
Desdemona.  My choice of an actress might be a younger version of Nicole
Kidman.

Whats the link between ionisation and electric chargescience question HELP!

ioniosation means that a metalic or non-matallic element
becomes an ion instead of being an atom by gainig or losing electrons (in order to
complete its outer most energy level with 8 electrons and be in a stable state),,,,if
the element gains electron during ioniosation so it is non-metal since it has already
more than 4 electrons in its outer shell so gaining electrons is easier that losing for
it like the chlorine atom= (electronic configration 2,8,7) & it gains an
electron .

On the other hand ,the metallic elements lose
elecrtons since they already have less than 4 electrons inthe outer shell so losing is
easier to it than gaining like sodium atom =(electronic configration 2,8,1)& it
loses the an elecrton.

tip: the metallic element which
loses elecrton(s),loses its them from the outer energy level like Magnesium= (2,8,2) so
it loses the 2 outer electrons .Sodium= (2,8,1)so it loses its outer electron in L
level.

while the non meatllic elements which gains
electrons put them in the outer most energy level like florine= (2,7) so it puts its new
electron in the 2nd shell to be filled with 8 electrons. Chlorine =(2,8,7) also puts its
new electron gained during ioniosation or chemical reaction in its outer
level.

 The inert gases they don't make ions or share in
chemical reactions (concerning this part which talks about ions) because each one has 8
already electrons in its outermost shell & it needn't gain or lose electrons
(except Hydrogen which has only one shell completely filled with 2 electrons &
it also doesn't need to be ion)

Metals which lose electrons
, give them to non-metals :like MgO=Magnesium Oxide where Mg loses 2 electrons to give
them to the Oxygen atom which needs them so they make an ionic bond (meatl +non metal =
ionic bond)

What are the characteristics of Romanticism?

Romanticism as a literary movement marked a period when
authors, and society in general, became much less trusting of the church and other
institutions and much more interested in recognizing the worth and power of the
individual and individual experiences. Enhancement of personal perceptions through use
of drugs became acceptable, dreams and visions were recognized as being significant and
worthy of serious consideration and interpretation, and emotion was considered more
important than intellect. Reflecting many of these viewpoints, poetry was the favored
form of writing during the Romantic period.

Prominent
authors of the Romantic movement include Jane Austen, Sir Walter Scott, Samuel Taylor
Coleridge, Percy Shelley, and William Wordsworth.

What is roulette?

Roulette is game played at casinos. The game involves a
circular wheel which has pockets. Players who play roulette can bet on a single number,
a range of numbers, a particular color or whether the number is odd or even. The
circular wheel is then rotated and a ball is spun. The ball after a few rotations falls
into one of the 37 or 38 pockets on the wheel. Depending on what the player choses and
where the ball landed, he/she loses or wins.

As with all
games at a casino the casino decides the payment that has to be made to play the game
and the price that a winner gets based on what the odds of getting what the player chose
are. It is meant to ensure that the casino always makes a
profit.

A 200 lb man hangs from the middle of a stretched rope so that the angle between the rope and x axis is 5 degrees.Find the tension in the rope.

When the man is hanging, the 2 sections of the rope are
symmetrical, with respect to the man.

The tensions, T1 and
T2, from the 2 sections of the rope, have the same
magnitude.

Since the system is in equilibrium the sum of
all forces in the horizontal direction is zero.

T1*cos 5 -
T2*cos5 = 0

But T1 = T2 =
T

Also, the sum of all forces in the vertical direction is
zero.

T1*sin 5 + T2*sin 5 - 200 =
0

We'll add 200 both
sides:

sin 5*(T1+T2) =
200

2T*sin 5 = 200

We'll
divide by 2:

T*sin 5 = 100

T =
100/sin 5

T =
100/0.0087

T = 1150
lbs

We notice that the tension in the
rope is over five times the weight of the man.

what are the metaphors in the story the comedy of errors? enumeration of metaphors and explanation of the meaning. ty!

1. Animals
-
Adriana thinks it is foolishness to submit so easily and she describes it as being as
"asses" (Act 2, scene 1, line 14)
- Luciana continues her argument with more
references to animals "The beasts, the fishes, and the winged fowls" (Act 2, scene 1,
lines 18-20).

2. Water
- Antipholus S. likens himself to a
drop of water that has plunged into the ocean to seek another drop (his twin brother and
mother), losing his own identity in the process. ( Act 1, scene 2, lines
35-40)
- The water image ties in with the background story of the forced
separation of Egeon's family and the two sets of twins by means of a shipwreck at sea.
The ocean is vast, and a drop of water is minuscule, heightening the sense of the
impossibility of the family's reunion and the miraculous nature of that reunion when it
finally happens.

3. Countries 
Dromio S.'s
extended comparison of the body of the (as he says) fat and unattractive Nell to the
globe of the earth and the parts of her body to different countries has one purpose
only, to make the audience laugh (Act 3, scene 2, lines
111ff.).

In chapters 1-8 of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, how does the action create a feeling of terror in the reader?

The action in chapters one through eight of Mary Shelley's
Frankenstein varies greatly. In the opening chapters, excluding the
letters, Shelley allows Victor to introduce himself to the readers. Victor tells readers
of his family's background and of his initial interest in science. It is not until
chapter four that the action of the story takes a horrific
twist. 

In chapter four, Victor describes himself visiting
graveyards and charnel houses (tombs) in order to collect "supplies" for his experiment.
He wishes to reanimate life and is gathering body parts in order to put life back into
them. In chapter five, Victor finds success. His creature awakens, looking at him with
yellow eyes and black lips. Given the limited nature of Shelley's description, reader's
imaginations are allowed to "run wild" (to be unrestrained). The image which readers
construct are, essentially, limitless in regards to horror. It is up to each reader to
figure out how horrendous the creature is (or is not). This certainly adds to the
feeling of terror for many readers. 

In chapter seven, the
death of William is described. The mark of death on his neck, readers are openly told
that the young boy was murdered. Readers, and Victor, assume the creature is
responsible. This adds to the terror of the tale. What more can the creature do? Chapter
eight adds to the horror. Justine has been charged with William's death, and readers
know that she is not responsible. Justine dies for being found guilty. This can be
terrifying for some readers given her lack of guilt. 

How does this story illuminate imperialism

Swift was born in Dublin seven months after the death of
his father. He was a Protestant in a predominantly Catholic country and a member of the
Ascendancy, that is, one of the privileged class who were supported by the English to
run their colonial property, Ireland. The oppression of Ireland was at its most intense
during theperiod when Swift was there. Swift was always the most political of the
18th-century satirists. As the battles between the Whigs and the Tories (liberals and
conservatives) evolved, he fired off pamphlets from a radical Tory position. As the
Whigs came into ascendancy, Swift returned to Ireland, to live. From Dublin, he fired
off the most powerful of his pamphlets demanding justice for Ireland. The most famousof
these pamphlets is A Modest Proposal (1729). The pamphlet is written in the persona of
an English economist, who is imbued with the rational principlesof Adam Smith and free
enterprise. This social scientist has turned his mind to the perennial problems
ofIreland—hunger and overpopulation—and come up with an ingenious solution:
state-sponsored cannibalism. Swift’s anger bleeds through in his detailed plan for
breeding Irish children and selling one-year-olds asmeat “at an entertainment for
friends; and when the family dines alone. …” We are horrified by the proposal,but we
also find it funny. Satire was never more powerfully relevant to man’s inhumanity to
man. He was not merely anti-imperialist but wanted colonies to be treated well to bring
great rewards to their empires.

Explain the water's path in a starfish's water vascular system beginning with the madreporite and ending with the tube feet.

Echinderms use their water vascular system to aid in their
locomotion. The madreporite is located next to the central disk and takes in water.  The
water continues to the stone canal to the ring canal and into the radial canals, located
in each arm. The radial canals carry water to the ampullae and provide suction to the
tube feet. The tube feet work by attaching temporarily to surfaces and move in a wave,
as one area attaches to the substrate, another releases. This action allows the arms to
propel the starfish and the suction can also be used to apply pressure to bivalves like
clams to cause the muscles keeping the clam shell closed to tire, thus opening the
shell. The sea star can then feed on its prey.

For what is Charles James Fox best remembered?

Charles James Fox (1749-1806) was a British politician
whose ideas were among the "most radical ever to be aired in Parliament of his era." He
was also the arch-rival of the popular Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger. Fox was
a conservative Whig and follower of Edmund Burke. Like Burke, Fox supported the American
cause during the colonies' revolt against England, and he was a vocal opponent of King
George III. He campaigned against slavery, advocated religious tolerance, and supported
the French Revolutionaries. Interestingly enough, Fox was close friends with King
George's son, the Prince of Wales. The King blamed Fox for many of the Prince's
"debauchery;" at one time considering abdication, the King refused to do so because he
knew Fox would rise to further power if his son became King. Later, when the
King fell into a fit of madness (probably from the hereditary disease, porphyria), he
mistakenly believed the hated Fox to be his friend, and his close ally, Pitt, his
enemy. 

In Macbeth, compare and contrast the attitude of Macbeth and Banquo to the prophecies of the witches.

It is vital to realise how Shakespeare is using these two
characters as foils. Both are present at the appearance of the witches and both receive
similar prophecies. The key difference between the way these two characters respond to
the prophecies of the witches lie in the fact that it is Macbeth that chooses to act on
their prophecies, giving in to his overriding ambition, whilst Banquo, although he
clearly has ambitious thoughts, does not give into ambition in the same
way.

Interestingly, the first time the witches appear to
Macbeth and Banquo, Macbeth is startled by their predictions, but it is Banquo that says
to Macbeth: "Why do you start, and seem to fear / Things that do sound so fair?" This
shows that Banquo is definitely not averse at first to the witches' prophecies. However,
this quickly gives way to doubt and scepticism, and later Banquo has troubled dreams
regarding the witches and their prophecy, and says to Macbeth: "oftentimes, to win us to
our harm, / The instruments of darkness tell us truths, / Win us with honest trifles to
betray [us]." This is in sharp contrast with the increasing fascination and obsession
that Macbeth (and his wife) have with the predictions of the weird
sisters.

Interestingly, it is the ghost of Banquo that
haunts Macbeth (rather than the ghost of Duncan), and one of the ghost's rebukes of
Macbeth is how Macbeth responded to the witches' prophecies in comparison with Banquo.
Thus the character of Banquo shows us that it is one thing to have ambitious thoughts
(and don't we all), but it is something completely different to become a slave to
ambition and be led into paths which involve committing murder and treason to satisfy
the thirst of ambition. Banquo thus stands in judgement over Macbeth - for it was
Macbeth that allowed himself to be manipulated by the witches into his moral descent.
Banquo, by remaining "good", demonstrated that fate will take its course without our
"help".

Does anyone know a gap in Macbeth that can be filled with a monologue? Any ideas will be great.I really need help with my English assignment...

One of the most famous "gaps" in the play is the murder of
Duncan.  The murders of Banquo and Lady Macduff are dramatized in the play, but the
murder of Duncan in Act II, scene ii, is an off-stage event.  There are two visits to
Duncan's bedchamber, one made by Macbeth when he actually murderers the king, and then
Lady Macbeth goes back to return the daggers to the scene of the crime.  Either of these
visits to Duncan's bedchamber would make a good
soliloquy.

Another much discussed gap is the change that
comes over Lady Macbeth from her exit in Act III, scene iv until she re-enters the play
in Act V.  How does she change from the assertive and confident woman of early in the
play to the guilt-ridden sleepwalker of the end?  This gap would be a good opportunity
for a monologue too.

The links below will give you more
detail about the scenes I have mentioned.  Good luck with your
assignment.

Analyze the point of view of the story.

The story is told in the third-person limited omniscient
point of view, for the narrator constantly transmits things to us exactly as Granny
perceives and remembers them, almost literally in Granny’s words. Thus, for example, we
learn of Granny’s great concern for Hapsy (paragraphs 41, 50, 57, 60), a favorite
daughter whom Granny apparently expects to appear. But the narration does not tell us
that Hapsy is present, and from this, together with Granny’s vague memories, we are led
to conclude that Hapsy died many years before, as a young woman, in childbirth. Briefly,
therefore, because the narrator allows us to share everything going on in Granny’s mind,
we see both the surfaces and depths of Granny’s character.

How does the author convey his message/theme in The Red Badge of Courage?Please cite 2 examples from the book

While The Red Badge of Courage
has more than one theme, or message, that Stephen Crane proposes through his
narrative, the Naturalistic theme seems the most salient.  That is, Crane portrays
Nature as an impersonal force with Henry Fleming isolated and alone.  For, as a
man, Henry is at the mercy of a superior and cosmic force in spite of his own thoughts
and instincts.

Here are two examples of this
theme:

1.  Stephen Crane candidly reports the inhumanity of
man to man amid the brutish forces of nature.  When Henry runs from the violence and
chaos, he finds no solace in the woods; instead, he
is

obliged to
force his way with much noise.  The creepers, catching against his legs, cried out
harshly as their sprays were torn from the barks of
trees. 

As he moves deeper
into the woods, he espies what he believes is a lovely spot only to happen upon the
horror of discovering a decaying body.  As he flees, Henry turns, fearing that the
corpse may be calling out to him:

readability="6">

Off was the rumble of death.  It seemed now that
Nature had no ears....He conceived Nature to be like a woman with a deep
averson to tragedy.

2.  At
the very end of the novel, after Henry has suffered through his fears and isolation and
emerged triumphant from battle, the weather of the indifferent nature is similar to that
of the battle in which he has run away. In Chaper VII, Crane describes the
setting:

At
length he reached a place where the high, arching boughs made a chapel.  He solftly
pushed the green doors aside and entered.  Pine needles were a gentle brown carpet. 
There was a religious half
light.

But, in the next
sentence Crane narrates,

readability="7">

Near the threshold he stopped, horor-stricken at
the sight of a thing. He was being looked at by a dead man who was seated with his back
against a columnlike
tree.

This gruesome sight is
placed amid the tranquil beauty of nature in much the same design as that of the novel's
conclusion which portrays Henry's victory and coming of age, rather than his frightened
fright, evincing the indifference of Nature to that which transpires with man, although
Henry imagines that it is sympathetic as he has "rid himself of the red sickness of
battle,"

with
a lover's thirst to images of tranquil skies, fresh meadows, cool brooks--an existence
of soft and eternal peace. 

Can it be proved that the vectors u = 3i + xj and v=(x+1)i + xj, can never be perpendicular, no matter what value is given to x.

We use vector theory here. From vector theory we know that
two vectors u and v, can be perpendicular only if the dot product of the two vectors is
zero.

So we have to first find the dot products of the
vectors given.

We have u = 3i + xj and v=(x+1)i + xj. The
dot product of the two vectors is u.v = (3i+xj) .
((x+1)i+xj)

=> 3(x+1) + x^2 = x^2+3x +
3

=>  (x + 3/2)^2 - (3/2)^2 +
3

=> (x+3/2)^2 +3/4

Now
(x+3/2)^2 +3/4 is always greater than or equal to 3/4 no matter what x
is.

Thus we prove that the dot product of u and v is
greater than or equal to 3/4.

Therefore,  as
u dot v can never be equal to zero, we prove that u and v can never be perpendicular, no
matter what the value of x is.

Which is seen in the example below: horizontal integration, vertical integration, low-cost strategy, global strategy, diversification...

In my opinion, this is an example of vertical
integration.

Vertical integration happens when a company
buys up certain kinds of other companies.  Specifically, it is when a company buys up
companies that supply it with things that it needs or that buy the product it makes. 
For example, if a car company buys a glass company, that is vertical integration because
every car needs lots of glass.  In this case, Pepsi is going buy KFC because KFC is a
company that will buy Pepsi's products.

So vertical
integration is where you buy companies that go up and down the supply chain.  This is
clearly an example of that.

Who is the antagonist in "The Necklace"?

Let us remember that the story is told from the third
person limited point of view, zooming in on the thoughts and feelings of Madame Loisel.
Because of this, her opinion dominates. What is interesting about this short story,
therefore, is that there is actually no character or person who Madame Loisel is in
conflict with. Actually, the antagonist would be the expectations and desires of Madame
Loisel herself that she is constantly wrestling with. Consider the following
quote:

She
grieved incessantly, feeling that she had been born for all the little niceties and
luxuries of living. She grieved over the shabbiness of her apartment, the dinginess of
the walls, the worn-out appearance of the chairs, the ugliness of the draperies. All
these things, which another woman of her class would not even have noticed, gnawed at
her and made her furious... She would dream of silent chambers, draped with Oriental
tapestries and lighted by tall bronze floor lamps, and of two handsome butlers in knee
breeches, who, drowsy from the heavy warmth cast by the central stove, dozed in large
overstuffed
armchairs.

Although actually
she is economically stable as a middle-class French woman, her desire for more and her
feeling of entitlement for more is what drives this darkly ironic short story by
Maupassant. By the end, at least part of us can't help feeling that she has certainly
got what she deserved for her pretensions and her inability to be grateful and accept
what she has.

The Epic of Gilgamesh and Genesis both contain stories of a flood that wipes out almost all living things. Compare these stories and their...

The stories are very similar, but contain minor
differences. As humbahaha pointed out, the Genesis flood is sent because of humanity's
wickedness, while the Gilgamesh flood happens due to mankind becoming too numerous and
noisy ("Enlil heard the clamour and he said to the gods in council, 'The uproar of
mankind is intolerable and sleep is no longer possible by reason of the babel.'").
Additionally, the storm in Gilgamesh pours down for six days and six nights, compared to
the 40 in Genesis. And while Utnapishtim sends a bird thrice from his boat, Noah sends
it 4 times - it returns the third time with an olive branch, and the fourth not at
all.

There are, of course, other differences dealing with
the end of the story, as Utnapishtim gains immortality and Noah is told to repopulate
the Earth, etc.

By the end of act 2,the audience are filled with sorrow and respect for hermione,how does shakespeare achieve this?Please answer this as soon as...

Well,I have recently read the summery of (the winter's
tale) by shakespeare,,,,Hermione was asked by her husband ( Leontes ) to bring Polixenes
round in order to extend his visiting to Sicily and stay for a longer time with his dear
friend Leontes after Polixenes refused saying that he had to go to Bohemia to do his
jobs there,,,

Actually Hermione was able to let Polixenes
agree to stay for a longer time but that let the jealous Leontes feel that his faithful
wife and his blamless friend were having a secret relationship behind his
back.

Leontes decided to put Hermione in prison and when
that happened her small child Mamillius died from sadness about his mother who used to
love him and play with him all the time. when Hermione heard that she fainted ay once
and Paulina ( her friend ) told everyone that Hermione died so that Leontes wouldn't try
to get rid of her by another way (as he thought she was
guilty).

Hermione the innocent lady , of course the readers
of a summery to that play or the ones who watched it felt sorry for her,,,, Shakespeare
wanted to show as: what does our week points do to us when we don't consider the matters
well before doing the actions ( which is very obvious in Leontes's charater ) and the
result of that is being alone .... like the tree which has no leaves or fruits.....stays
lonely don't know what to do......after being bare ,,,,in the winter
season....The Winter's Tale .

What is the conflict between the Swede and everyone else?

The major conflict is between the Swede and the other
characters. He sets himself apart at the story’s exposition, and through his
drunkenness, the card game, his fight with Johnnie, and his swift encounter with the
gambler, he is always at odds. One might see him as a protagonist because he is a
solitary person encountering difficulties—usually the role of the protagonist. Because
we learn so little of him, however, he is not a good candidate for protagonist. The
others stress his nationality primarily to preserve his separateness (note that the
others are identified by trade or location, and that they are named; i.e., Bill the
cowboy, Blanc the Easterner, Scully the hotel keeper, Johnnie the son of the hotel
keeper). These distinctions do even more to stress that the Swede is an
outsider.

What effect does the temperature of nitrogen gas have on the pressure it exerts?

Nitrogen approximately follows the ideal gas law which
gives the relation between pressure and temperature as pV= nRT, where p is the absolute
pressure of the gas; V is the volume of the gas; n is the amount of substance of the gas
in moles; R is the gas constant (which is 8.314472 J*K^-1*mol^-1 in SI units); and T is
the absolute temperature.

Therefore from pV= nRT, we get p
= nRT / V. So as the temperature increases, for the volume and amount of the gas
remaining constant, the pressure exerted increases and as the temperature decreases, the
pressure exerted decreases.

why put NaOH and copper sulphate in protein solution to test for proteins?what reactions do these chemicals have with the protein solution that...

To test for proteins a BCA assay can be used. This test is
performed with a stock BCA solution which contains Bicinchoninic acid, salts of sodium
and Cupric sulfate pentahydrate in a solution with a high
alkalinity.

During this test, when the BCA solution is
added to proteins the peptide bonds in the proteins reduces the Cu 2+ ions to Cu 1+
ions. This reduction is dependent on the amount of protein in the solution. Following
this, two molecules of bicinchoninic acid chelate with each of the Cu1+ ions, and form a
purple-colored product which strongly absorbs light at a wavelength of 562
nm.

Looking at the absorption spectra after the chelation
and comparing it with solutions with a known protein concentration allows us to
determine the protein concentration in the solution being
tested.

What are some ways Danforth shows pride in the short story The Crucible?

In The Crucible, Judge Danforth
exhibits excessive pride and arrogance through his actions, his words, and his
attitude.  Three specific moments, all in Act III, are indicative of those
attributes.

One is when Danforth plays rather fast and
loose with the law.  We know the girls have eaten with some regularity with the judges;
and, while perhaps the court did not have the official status of the court system today,
the court was powerful enough to execute the guilty and should not have been so
comfortable with the accusers.  When Giles Corey comes to court, Danforth can't seem to
make up his mind whether official courtroom procedures should be followed or not.  When
it suits him, they do; when he'd prefer to ignore them, they don't. He says, "The pure
in heart need no lawyers."  Obviously, in this courtroom that's not true.   Clearly
Danforth sees himself both as being the law and being
above the law.

Another way Danforth
demonstrates his pride is in his dealings with Proctor.  Despite the fact that Proctor
virtually signs his own death warrant by admitting to adultery, and despite the fact
that Abigail actually leveled a not-so-veiled threat to cry witchcraft on Danforth
himself, Danforth is unwilling to recognize the fact that Elizabeth may have lied in an
attempt to save her husband from the gallows.  This is a moment of true revelation for
Reverend Hale, who quits the proceedings for good; but for Danforth there is no
bending.

The final incident of Danforth's pride and
arrogance occursin the final scene at the jail.  Rev. Hale has reappeared to try to save
innocent lives, and even Parris has come to plead for some grace on their behalf.  Hale
appeals to Danforth reasonably, asking him to simply delay the executions.  Danforth's
tirade makes it clear he will not bend, for he is God's voice on earth.  In fact,
earlier in this act, Danforth has the audacity to speak as one gifted with God's
authority:

John Proctor, I've seen your power. You are
combined with
ANTI-CHRIST!

Danforth
never bends and never admits he is wrong or even could be wrong. 
Never.

What does the following quotation mean: "There are times...when one must lose a little beauty if one is to keep what little beauty one already...

The quote "There are times...when one must lose a little
beauty if one is to keep what little beauty one already has," from "The Flying Machine,"
by Ray Bradbury, is a paradoxical statement. The Emperor is responding to his desire to
keep things the way they are in his kingdom in ancient
China.

The flying machine, invented by the man who is
brought to the palace, allows mankind the opportunity to enjoy the world's beauty as
never before. However, the Emperor is fearful that someone might use the machine for
something other than its access to the world's beauty. For instance, someone might try
to fly over the Great Wall of China, an evil intent as the Emperor sees
it.

The Emperor also does not want the word he knows to
change, so he is willing to sacrifice the beauty brought by the flying machine to
preserve the world he so enjoys—in the beauty he has created and
maintains, especially in his invention of the mechanical box with the miniature trees
and birds within it.

What is the significance and theme of the work?

“The Cask of Amontillado” is one of the best-known Poe
stories. All the characteristics of Poe’s fiction are there: an unusual and bizarre
setting, a disturbed narrator, a lurid and therefore arresting antagonist, and an act of
deliberate and depraved cruelty. According to Poe’s theory of the brief prose tale, it
is clear that his main concern in “The Cask of Amontillado” is to hold the reader’s
attention and emotions in a mood of both disbelief and amazement. Poe’s development of
the weird character of Montresor and the ghoulish setting are to be judged as they
contribute to the story’s impact. If readers silently protest that “this can’t be
happening,” “the narrator is not going to wall in Fortunato alive, and leave him,” then
Poe would have said that his story was a success as a brief prose
tale.

Find the length of the graph of f(x)=(1-x^2)^1/2 on [0, b]

We'll use the formula of calculating the length of the
graph:

L = Int sqrt{1+[f'(x)]^2} from x = a to x =
b

In our case a = 0 and b =
b

The length of the graph of f(x) = sqrt(1-x^2)
is:

L = Int sqrt{1+[(sqrt(1-x^2))']^2}dx , from 0 to
b.

We'll calculate the derivative of
sqrt(1-x^2)

[sqrt(1-x^2)]' =
-2x/2sqrt(1-x^2) 

[sqrt(1-x^2)]' =
-x/sqrt(1-x^2) 

{[sqrt(1-x^2)]'}^2 =
x^2/(1-x^2)

We'll add 1 both
sides:

1 + {[sqrt(1-x^2)]'}^2 = 1 +
x^2/(1-x^2)

1 + {[sqrt(1-x^2)]'}^2 = (1 - x^2 +
x^2)/(1-x^2)

We'll eliminate like
terms:

1 + {[sqrt(1-x^2)]'}^2 =
1/(1-x^2)

L = Int dx/(1-x^2)

L
= arcsin x from x = 0 to x = b

L = arcsin b - arcsin
0

L = arcsin
b

The length of the graph of
the function f(x) = sqrt(1-x^2), over the interval [0,b], is L = arcsin
b.

Which text did Shakespeare use to base Julius Caesar on? What changes did he make and why?

The primary source for Shakespeare's Julius
Caesar is Plutarch's Lives.  He concentrates on the
Caesar, Mark Antony, and Brutus.

Although Plutarch is his
source, Shakespeare uses the information about these three men to weave a compelling
story about Rome and the change that took place from a Republic to an Empire.  He
doesn't try to pass judgement but he presents the
events.

In a history book, we can read about these events
but Shakespeare puts a human face on the major players.

He
also uses the play to ask important questions.

How does one
stop Caesar from destroying the Republic since the people (mob) want to crown him king? 
Is the majority always right?  Does a war, in this case a civil war, resolve anything? 
Does anybody win?

Shakespeare uses the information gained
in Plutarch to spring board into these and other important
questions.
