What kind of food (throughout the book) do the boys eat in Lord of the Flies?I need to prepare a meal typical of what may be eaten on the island. I...

The most abundant food on the island was fruit. There were
groves of fruit trees, and the littluns spent most of their days eating more or less
non-stop. The fruits aren't named, but tropical fruits like star fruits, genip, sea
grapes, bananas, and chellomello would be representative of the types of fruit on such
an island. If you are trying to simulate these fruits, you could use grapes, cherries,
and kiwi; you can find star fruit in most supermarkets. You can also find unusual
varieties of bananas (or plantains), so that could be a fun thing to
try. 

Palm trees are mentioned often in the book. Different
varieties of palms grow different varieties of fruits. We think of coconuts, but many
softer fruits grow on palm trees (see the link below). Dates are from palms. We thinki
of them as dried fruits; however, the boys were not drying their fruits, but simply
eating them right from the tree, sometimes before they were even ripe. Some palm fruits
you may be able to find at a grocery store (depending on where you live) are acai
berries, jubaea, butia, and peach palm fruit.

You have
mentioned pig, so having some pulled pork would be a way to represent that part of the
menu.

In chapter 4, the diet is described as "fruit and
nuts, with an odd crab or fish." So you could add crab meat and a smaller fish like
orange roughy. For nuts, almonds would be a good
choice. 

Chapter 9 shows Jack's feast; they ate on palm
leaves and drank from coconut shells. It is easy to find coconut water in supermarkets
now, or you can get actual coconuts. 

Have fun with your
meal! 

Demonstrate that the fraction is a constant [log(x^2) + log(x^3)]/[ln(x^2)+ln(x^3)].

We'll prove that simplifying the fraction, the result does
not depend on the variable x.

We notice that the numerator
is a sum of logarithms that have matching bases.

We'll
apply the product rule:

log a + log b = log
(a*b)

log (x^2) + log (x^3) =
log (x^2*x^3)

log (x^2*x^3)= log
[x^(2+3)]

log (x^2) + log (x^3)
=  log (x^5)

We'll use the power rule of
logarithms:

log (x^5)= 5*log (x)
(1)

We also notice that the denominator is a sum of
logarithms that have matching bases.

[ln (x^2) + ln
(x^3)] = ln (x^5)

[ln (x^2) +
ln (x^3)] = 5*ln x (2)

We'll
substitute both numerator and denominator by (1) and
(2):

5*log (x) /5*ln x

We'll
simplify:

log (x) /ln x

We'll
transform the base of the numerator, namely 5, into the base
4.

ln x  = log (x) * ln
10

We'll re-write the
fraction:

log (x) /ln x = log (x) / log (x) * ln
10

We'll simplify:

1/ln
10

Since the result is not depending on the
variable x, the given fraction is a constant.

How did Laurie Prichett and Eugene "Bull" Connor differ in how they dealt with African American protestors?A) Connor responded to nonviolence with...

The only answer that is correct here is A.  Connor's
reaction to protests was very violent while that of Pritchett was much more restrained
and therefore more effective.

Bull Connor's reaction to
protests in Birmingham, Alabama was violent.  For example had his police officers allow
their dogs to attack black protestors who were doing nothing that was at all violent. 
By contrast, Pritchett's handling of protests in Albany was restrained.  He simply had
protestors arrested and made sure that they were treated
well.

The nonviolent approach that Pritchett took was much
more effective.  This is because it did not make the police and the white community look
bad the way Connor's tactics did.  This made it much harder for protestors to gain
support in Albany than in Birmingham.  If all police leaders had acted like Pritchett,
the movement would have had a much harder time gaining white
sympathy.

Discuss 'higher love' in the context of Raina Sergius relationship in Arms and the Man.

The term "higher love" has been mockingly used by Shaw to
suggest the absurdity of the romantic sentimentalism of Raina-Sergius relationship,
especially the hypocritical idealism of Raina's "soul's hero", Sergius Saranoff. The
Petkoff wax-doll, Raina, admires Sergius for his facade of heroism and romanticism. But
the "hero of Slivnitza" does not hesitate to flirt with the Petkoff house-maid, Louka,
behind Raina's back. Sergius's secret overtures to Louka and the behaviour as well as
observations of the professional Serbian soldier, Bluntschli, make Raina understand that
Sergius is not only a foolhardy soldier, but also an untrusworthy lover who is just
engaged in cultivating appearances of love and heroism with ulterior purposes. Shaw uses
the term "higher love" to ridicule the idea of an ideal romantic love which is based on
mutually flattering lip-service and false adoration. Sergius's plea for flirting with
Louka is characteristic of a self-gratifying opportunist, and the so-called "higher
love" is all bogus and rhetorical.

According to the theory of comparative advantage what tasks should one perform and what tasks should one purchase from others?

We generally talk about comparative advantage with
reference to countries rather than individuals, but individuals could be used to
illustrate this theory as well.

If Person A has a lower
opportunity cost for making a good than Person B, Person A has a comparative advantage
in terms of that good.  Person A should make that good and Person B should buy it from
him/her.

The reason for this is that it is in Person B's
best interests to buy that good from Person A even if Person B could make it him/her
self.  If Person B buys this good from Person A, B can use the time and resources she
saved (by not making the good) to make something that is more valuable.  Person B could
then sell that more valuable good to Person A and both will be better
off.

To fully understand this, it is really useful to look
at a chart showing opportunity costs for different people and different goods.  You can

Considering Article 19 and 20, should John Galliano be facing charges of incitement to racial hatred?

I think what you are essentially asking is whether
France's laws against hate speech are incompatible with Articles 19 and 20 of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  I would argue that those laws are incompatible
with the Declaration and that Galliano should not be facing criminal
charges.

Galliano's crime consists mainly, it seems, of
saying that he supported Hitler and that he wished more Jews had been killed so that the
particular people he was talking to would not have been alive today.  This is clearly
offensive, but it also falls under the category of "freedom of opinion and expression"
guaranteed by Article 19.

Galliano's opinions and his
expression of them did not cause or threaten to cause any physical harm.  They were
surely very hurtful, but there are many opinions that clearly should not be banned even
though they hurt other people.  Once we start trying to prevent speech that hurts the
feelings of some people, we are faced with a Fahrenheit 451 type
problem where we essentially are pushed to curtail all expression because all expression
can be hurtful to some.

So, I would argue that France's
laws do violate the Universal Declaration and Galliano should not be facing criminal
charges (he should just have been fired and no other company should hire
him).

What is the launch angle such that the maximum height of the projectile is equal to its horizontal range.The initial speed the projectile is...

We'll recall the basic motion equation applied to
determine the horizontal range:

x = v0*t => t =
v0/x

Since the maximum height is equal to the horizontal
range, we'll get:

v0x =
v0y

(v0^2*sin 2a)/g = (v0^2)*(sin
a)^2/2g

We'll recall the double angle
identity:

sin 2a = 2 sin a*cos
a

We'll simplify both
sides:

sin 2a = (sin a)^2/2

2
sin a*cos a = (sin a)^2/2

4sin a*cos a = (sin
a)^2

We'll simplify by sin a both sides and we'll
get:

4 cos a = sin a

We'll
divide by cos a:

sin a/cos a = 4 => tan a = 4
=> a = arctan 4 => a = 76 degrees
approx.

The launch angle of the projectile,
under the given constraints, is: a = 76 degrees
approx.
