Difference between effective manager and efficient manager.

To understand the difference between an efficient and
effective manager we need to understand the difference between efficiency and
effectiveness.

Efficiency refers to the ratio of output and
input. Higher the output obtained from a given quantity of inputs used, higher is the
efficiency. Effectiveness is a measure of the total output. Thus efficiency is concerned
with reducing waste and unit costs, while effectiveness is concerned with increasing
total output.

We will illustrate this difference between
efficiency and effectiveness by an example . Let us consider two production managers. 
The first manger produces 1000 units of widgets per day at a cost of $8 per widget,
while the second managers produces 1200 units of same type of widgets per day at a cost
of $8.5 per widget. In this situation the first manager is more efficient than the
second one. However, if the widgets sell at price of $12 per widget, and profit on the
1000 widgets produced by first manager is $4000. In comparison the profit on the 1200
widgets produced by the second manager is $4200. As the second manager is able to
generate greater profit, he is more effective than the first
one.

In the Crucible, What is an example of reputation?

Reverend Parris might be an example of reputation.  He
seems so worried about how people will perceive him and his status that he fails to
account for some basic realities that impact everyone in Salem.  His niece is
essentially out of control and his lack of emotional affect towards her because of his
precious reputation precludes her from being stemmed in her accusations that drive the
town to a naturally destructive end.  At the same time, the overriding fear of the
besmirched reputation of the townspeople causes them to sever bonds with one another. 
When someone is accused of being a witch, we don't see anyone assisting in their defense
or offering to assist because the same accusation can be leveled against them.  This
lack of solidarity is because everyone is concerned about their reputation before
anything else.  In the end, the overriding desire to protect a social reputation might
have had a detrimental impact on the social order in general.

What grudges does Thomas Putnam have against Francis Nurse, and what would be a quote explaining Putnam's grudge? Please describe the grudge, too.

A reason that Mr. Putnam seems to hold a grudge against
the Nurse family is one that he shares with his wife.  Rebecca Nurse has chastised Mrs.
Putnam for "seeking loose spirits" and sending her daughter to Tituba to conjure the
spirits of Mrs. Putnam's seven dead babies.  Now, she encourages Reverend Parris to send
Mr. Hale back home when he arrives and just rely on "good prayer" to help the ailing
Betty Parris and Ruth Putnam.  Rebecca says that they should "go to God for the cause
of" their troubles and "blame [them]selves" instead.  At these words, Mr. Putnam quickly
angers, saying,

How may we blame ourselves?  I am one of nine
sons; the Putnam seed have peopled this province.  And yet I have but one child left of
eight -- and now she
shrivels!

The Putnams see
their terrible luck as a sign that the Devil is at work in Salem.  To be sure, it would
be incredibly painful and frustrating to lose so many children, especially when the
Nurses have "never los[t] a child, nor grandchild neither" and they have buried all but
one.  The terrible injustice of the Putnams' losses have encouraged their grudge against
and suspicion of the Nurses.

What is the significance of Jaques and Touchstone in Shakespeare's As You Like It?

Jaques and Touchstone have similar purposes in one regard
in As You Like It, but have very different purposes in another
regard. First, they have similar purposes in that, though of different backgrounds and
stations in life, both serve as diversion and amusement for the principle characters
attached to them. Jaques, though a lord in exile with Duke Senior, diverts the Duke with
his melancholy and with his wordy witticisms--the wit of some of which he may be
unaware.

On the other hand, though Touchstone similarly
provides amusement and the diversion from word play for the royals he serves (first at
court and still in the Forest of Arden), he has always had the lowly station the court
jester in motley (multi-colored clothes) as the Shakespearean Fool. The major difference
between the Shakespearean Fool and Clown, aside from being urban and rural,
respectively, is that the Fool intends to make word play and be witty whereas the Clown
does so unintentionally by accident rather than by choice. By this part of the
definition, Jaques might reasonably considered to be fulfilling the office of accidental
country Clown for Duke Senior's group of pastoral
exiles.

The major difference in their purposes is that
Touchstone, whether he wants to or not, whether by design or by accident, reflects back
the worth and truth, if there be any, of the person conversing with him, whereas Jaques
provides an alternate point of view about the pastoral life of the exiles in Arden.
First, a touchstone (a geologic stone) is so named because when gold or silver is rubbed
on it a distinctive mark is left behind that identifies the true nature of the metal.
This was quite important in eras where metals of inferior origins were passed off as
gold and silver. Similarly, Touchstone's conversations with other characters display the
worth of their points of view and their beliefs. A good example is Touchstone's
conversation with the old shepherd, Corin, in which the truth and sincere simplicity of
Corin's believes is made evident since Touchstone can't offer an opinion, witty or
otherwise, that can stand up to Corin's statements.

Jaques'
melancholy spirit and gloomy conversation, on the other hand, stand as alternatives to
the prevalent points of view in the play. All the other characters, except perhaps
Touchstone, are all delighted with the pastoral life and the life of simplicity in
Arden, which includes the deposed Duke Senior and his exiled lords. However, as a good
example of his purpose, Jaques disagrees with the exiles' belief that the forest
creatures, such as the deer, are there to provide food for them and that the death of a
deer is a sad but necessary event. Jaques presses the point that the exiles are exerting
the same rule of order that drove them into exile, the law of "right by power." In the
end, Jaques yields to his view of life and chooses to explore exiling himself into a
truly pastoral monastic life.

What is the significance of ball parties in Pride and Prejudice?

Ball parties were really the only times when the girls had
the chance to speak freely with the men they were interested on. Like, for example, Jane
and Bingley's communication was only possible during those ball parties, and even
Charlotte made a point of saying that Jane had to step up her game because ball parties
seemed to be the only time she chatted with him.

As far as
Elizabeth, she was able to also speak openly to Darcy during the second ball where they
met. She made all her observations on him and she was actually able to score him off in
a mini showdown that they had where she basically called him a snob for not
dancing.

In general, balls were the parties that were
understood as the "husband picking faires" and men were likely to make a strong
acquaintance during a ball when the ladies show themselves at their brightest and
prettiest, and where they also have the opportunity of demonstrating their talents in
dancing and singing.

This doesn't have much to with school, but, since I love The Hunger Games, I wanted to ask if it will evolve into a movie?

As much as I'd absolutely love to see this series become a
movie, I can't imagine it could do any justice to the
book. 

There are plenty of movies that incorporate first
person narrative [think Fight Club], so I don't think the first person narrative will be
the problem.  I think that the problem lies in how well the idea is presented.  This is
a problem I think the SyFy channel demonstrates VERY well.  Many of their original
programs are...creative to say the least, but often so poorly executed in dialouge and
set design [which is to some degree understandable, they're not made of money] that most
people keep flipping the channel.  I think if made into a movie, The Hunger Games would
only attract a very small audience and probably won't make enough money to balance out
Hollywood checkbooks.  Now, if THG had a cult following like the Twilight series, I'm
sure enough screaming preteens could rally a movie, but alas, THG isn't as popular
[which I find gastly].

My personal opinion is, I'd rather
keep THG in my mind and heart than see them forced and butchered by low budget and bad
acting on the big screen. 

Show that the points A(3,4), B(3,1) & C(8,4) are the vertices of a right-angled triangle. Find the length of the perpendicular from A to BC.

We have A(3,4) , B(3,1), and
C(8,4)

are vertices of a
triangle.

Let us calculate the length of each
side:

lABl = sqrt(3-3)^2 + (1-4)^2]= sqrt9 =
3

lACl = sqrt(8-3)^2 + (4-4)^2]= sqrt25=
5

lBCl= sqrt[(8-3)^2 + (4-1)^2]= sqrt(25+9)=
sqrt(34)

Then BC is the longest
side.

if ABC is a right angle, then
:

BC^2 = AC^2 + AB^2

34= 5^2 +
3^2

34 = 25+9

34=
34

Then ABC is a right angle triangle where BC is the
hypotenuse.

Now to measure the line from A to
BC

Let D be a point on BC such that AD is perpendicular to
BC

==> let AD = y

let  
 BD = x

==> CD = sqrt34-
x

AB^2 = BD^2 + AD^2

9 = x^2 +
y^2........(1)

AC^2 = CD^2 +
AD^2

25 = (sqrt34-x)^2  +
y^2.........(2)

Let us subtract (1) from
(2):

==> 16 = (sqrt34-x)^2 -
x^2

==> 16 = 34 -(2sqrt34)x + x^2
-x^2

==> (2sqrt34)x =
18

==> x= 18/2sqrt34= 9/sqrt34= 1.54
(approx.)
