What was the relationship between Plato and Aristotle?

A good starting point for this is
chronology.

Plato was born to an aristocratic family in
Athens in 424, followed the philosopher Socrates, left Athens after Socrates death in
399, and after some years of travel returned to found his academy in approximately 384
(the approximate date of Aristotle's birth. Plato died in
348.

Aristotle was born in Stagira in 384, to a father who
was a court physician to the Macedonian king Amyntas. He went to Athens in 367 (at
approximately the age of 18) and stayed there studying in Plato's Academy for 20 years,
only leaving in 347, after Plato's death.

Thus when
Aristotle arrived at the Platonic Academy as a teenager, Plato was already a middle-aged
philosopher who was at the height of a fairly distinguished career. Although he seems to
have recognized that Aristotle was a promising student, Aristotle was just embarking on
his career at Plato's death.

Moreover, at the end of his
life, Plato was focussing on metaphysics (the idea-mathematicals) and Aristotle would
have been involved in areas of practical reasoning which were a bit outside the main
areas of focus of the Academy of the period.

How does Steinbeck present and develop the central character of Lennie Small in Of Mice and Men?

Steinbeck presents Lennie as a childlike man. Lennie is
simple-minded. Next to George, Lennie is a large man:

Lennie is 'his opposite, a huge man, shapeless
of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide, sloping
shoulders.'

He would never
hurt anyone intentionally. Lennie doesn't know his own strength. He is strong and heavy
handed. He is mentally challenged:

Lennie is mentally handicapped: he cannot quite
remember what had happened in Weed; he speaks with a child's vocabulary; and he bursts
into tears when George makes him give up the dead mouse that he has been secretly
petting in his pocket.

Lennie
would never have broken Curley's hand if Curley had not instigated the
fight.

Likewise, Lennie only meant to quiet Curley's wife.
He never meant to break her neck.

George loves Lennie
unconditionally. Lennie loves George. The two of them are as close as family is. Lennie
trusts George. He has lived by his every word.

With simple
trust, Lennie has no idea what George is about to do. Lennie would never have believed
that George was about to shoot him. George meant everything to
Lennie.

macrophages are white blood cells which ingest bacteria. In order to digest the bacteria, which organelle must macrophages have a good supply of?

The organelle needed to digest bacteria would be a
lysosome. Lysosomes are found in most cells, but are particularly plentiful in
macrophages, because these cells engulf and destroy bacteria and other
pathogens.Lysosomes are small membranous sacs of enzymes. There are about forty
different hydrolytic enzymes that have been identified in the lysosomes of
cells.

Once a macrophage engulfs a bacteria by the process
of phagocytosis, the bacteria ends up in a membranous sac called a phagosome. When a
phgosome encounters a lysosome inside the cell, the two membranes fuse. This creates a
phagolysosome, which is where the bacteria get digested.  So in answer to your question,
an active macrophage would probably have an abundance of both lysosomes and
phagolysosomes present.

An individual creates literature in a social context, thus, necessarily linking Literature and Society-Evaluate... (ans in minimum 300 words please)

There are an unlimited number of examples you could use in
responding to this statement. It would have been helpful to know what type of literature
you are dealing with, but the basic connection and relationship holds
throughout.

When Mark Twain planned to write The Adventures
of Huckleberry Finn, he was very familiar with the society of the area along the
southern Mississippi River. He thoroughly understood the relationships between whites
and blacks and between different classes of whites, and his writing draws on that
knowledge to add to the richness of the story.

When an
author prepares to write a factual biography of an historic figure, research and
preparation for the writing will necessarily include analysis of the society and culture
in which the subject lived and how those impacted the subject's life and
activities.

There are as many other examples as there are
written works.

How is the American workforce changing?

The American workforce is changing in many different
ways.

First, we are shifting from a manufacturing workforce
to a service workforce.  That is to say, we now offer more services and produce fewer
tangible goods. This is to some degree a function of the fact that it is less expensive
to make goods in other countries.

Second, the workforce is
changing in its demographics. Even though there is high unemployment right now, given
that the birth rate in the United States is lower, there could be a shortage of workers
at some point in the future, particularly when all of the baby boomers
retire.

Third, the American workforce is not as
well-educated as previous generations were.  We have more people who cannot read, write,
or do math than in generations past.

Fourth, the American
workforce is adjusting to the need to be technologically savvy, although not yet
enough.  There are jobs that remain unfilled because there are not enough workers who
are highly technologically skilled.

Fifth, the American
workforce, because of the present unemployment situation, is more likely to be a
workforce of people who are employed only part-time, with lower wages, and without
benefits. As a subsidiary of that trend, people are far more likely to have more than
one job.

Sixth, there is a trend today for workers to
telecommute in many industries.  This was initially frowned upon by many employers, but
they have learned that people can be "watched" at home and can be just as, if not more,
productive.

Seventh, the American worker today changes jobs
far more frequently than at any time in our history, sometimes voluntarily and sometimes
involuntarily.  In times past, people often spent their entire work lives working for
one company.

There are many other differences, but these
are some of the major ones I have noted over the past 40 years.

Integrate [((log(5) x)^2 + sqrt 2*(log(5) x) + 9)/x] with respect to x.

We have to integrate: [((log(5) x)^2 + sqrt 2*(log(5) x) +
9)/x] with respect to x.

use the relation log(a)x = ln x/ln
a

[((log(5) x)^2 + sqrt 2*(log(5) x) +
9)/x]

=> [((ln x/ln 5)^2 + sqrt 2*(ln x/ln 5) +
9)/x]

=> (1/ln 5)(ln x)^2/x + (sqrt 2/ln 5)(ln x)/x
+ 9/x

Int[(1/ln 5)(ln x)^2/x + (sqrt 2/ln 5)(ln x)/x +
9/x]dx

To find Int[(ln x)^2/x
dx]

let y = ln x

dy/dx = 1/x
or dy = dx/x

=> Int[y^2
dy]

=> y^3/3

substitute
y = ln x

=> (ln
x)^3/3

Similarly lnt[ln x/x dx] = (ln
x)^2/2

=> (1/ln 5)(ln x)^3/3 + (sqrt 2/ln 5)(ln
x)^2/2 + 9 ln x + C

The required integral is
(1/ln 5)(ln x)^3/3 + (sqrt 2/ln 5)(ln x)^2/2 + 9 ln x +
C

"Shakespeare's themes are as relevant today as they were when he wrote them." Discuss with close reference to the themes of Macbeth.

One of the hallmarks of Shakespeare's many plays is the
way that in them he is able to tap into universal themes, that are just as relevant in
today's world as they were in his own times. Also, what is notable is the way that his
plays can be performed in a number of different cultures and geographical locations and
still be just as relevant. I remember reading about a production of this play that was
set in an African tribe which lost nothing of its force or power in the way that it had
been adapted to fit this setting.

The central theme of this
brilliant tragedy is that of ambition and how pursuing it can corrupt us as humans and
make us become evil. Macbeth is taunted by the possibilities of the power he could
achieve and the kind of glory he could attain, which corresponds with his own ambition
and his desire for power. Note what he says in his famous soliloquy in Act I scene
7:

I have no
spur

To prick the sides of my intent, but
only

Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps
itself

And falls on
th'other--

The dangers of
ambition and how it can lead us to jump so high that we metaphorically fall on the other
side of the horse we are trying to mount is a message that is just as relevant for
today's world as it was then, as it corresponds to being human and the dangers of
letting ambition drive us so strongly that we end up doing things that we either regret
doing later on or that we end up failing. This play therefore, is just as relevant
because of its themes today as it was then.
