How are legal principles different than America today compared to when Miller wrote "The Crucible"?

Part of what makes the current system of justice theoretically more advanced than the setting of Miller's work revolves around the rights of the accused that are embedded in the legal system.  The reality of the defendant having a certain set of inalienable rights that cannot be vitiated represent bedrocks of the American system of jurisprudence.  These elements are nonexistent in Salem because the mere accusation of being referred to as "a witch" created a setting where individuals had to defend their innocence.  In the current theoretical notion of American justice, the prosecution has the burden of proof to prove the guilt of the innocence beyond a reasonable doubt.  In attempting to achieve this goal, the prosecution must prove their case by meeting an evidential burden which consists of physical evidence, motive, opportunity, as well as eyewitness testimony.  Except for the last item, which was more subjective and hearsay, the need to prove these elements were not present in the Salem notion of justice.  For example, Abigail's testimony is never cross examined, evaluated, or assessed.  Rather, the mere mention of "witchcraft" creates such a emotional contagion amongst the citizenry of Salem that her accusations are taken as truth, as opposed to a sample of evidence that must be examined and cross examined.

What are the top 5 plants that help memory?

Nature gives us a few plants with extraordinary effects on memory.

One possible top of plants which can improve your mental activities:

1) Ginseng

Ginseng is among the most popular herbs in herbal medicine around the world, being used for its therapeutic effects since ancient times. Ginseng presents important benefits for brain function, causing dilation of vessels at this level and thereby increasing blood flow.

Although the effect of menthol on aggressive centers is directly and immediately, in order to obtain maximum efficiency, it  requires a minimum of 12 days cure. 

What symbols in Lord of the Flies and The Odyssey can be compared together?I was told I could maybe compare the beast and the obstacles Odysseus...

You seem to have two questions here: What symbols can be compared/contrasted? and Do Odysseus's encounters represent inner fears?

First, some symbols that can be compared are sea conch in Lord of the Flies and the sea itself in The Odyssey. The conch symbolizes society's rule of order which also includes respect of orderly freedom of speech as opposed to anarchic freedom of speech as demonstrated by Jack at the breaking of the conch. The sea in The Odyssey symbolizes the power of nature, and therefore the gods, over mankind. [The conch also symbolizes a higher order of rule over mankind.] It also represents both the good and the bad that the gods can bestow on a person while directing their path to their ultimate fate. [The conch also determined the good and bad for the boys on their way to their ultimate fate.]

Other comparable symbols are Piggy's glasses and the dreams the gods bestow. Piggy's glasses are the means by which he sees, remembering that seeing symbolizes knowing, perceiving, wisdom. Dreams are a means by which a dreamer "sees" into problem or the future by discovering a solution or by revelation; the dreamer attains wisdom.

Both stories share a common symbol in food turned to bad purposes. In Lord of the Flies, the pig hunts start out as a means to acquire food and turn into ritual exercises in savagery. In The Odyssey, food and banqueting are symbolic of inhuman deeds, like the poison Circe puts on good food to cause it to turn humans into animals.    

Secondly, inner fears are definitely part of Lord of the Flies, which is especially clear if you think if the Beast. However, inner fears are not part of The Odyssey unless you give the story a Freudian interpretation, in which case you could label Odysseus's encounters as projections of his own subconsciousness and, therefore, manifestations of his own inner fears. Personally, I think a Freudian psychoanalytical critical approach is not applicable to The Odyssey but Freudian critics will readily disagree with me!

What are some suggestions for training hotel staff to handle unusual circumstances?

Hotel industry is a business in which it is not possible to plan each and every act of service provided to the guest. There is a very wide variety of guests coming to the hotel. They come for very diverse purposes. In addition, external factors such as weather affect the activities and requirements of the guests. Then there can be personal expected problems of the guest, for which the guests may turn to hotel staff for help - for example, a guest may fall sick, or may misplace his passport. In situations like this, a guest staying in a hotel far away from home, may have no one else to turn to for help. A good hotel understands these requirements of their guests and prepare their staff  to handle a wide variety of such situations.

It is obvious that if a hotel is to provide good service to their guest in all routine as well as non-routine and unexpected situations they must be well trained to handle such situations.

The most important part of this training should be inculcating in the staff an attitude of helpfulness and positive action. They should be trained to sense the problems faced by guest and encourage the guest to seek help. Guest seeking help should not be seen as a problem but as an opportunity for obtaining their loyalty, continued patronage, and wide word-of-mouth publicity.

While it is not possible to predict the exact nature of and timing of each situation that will arise requiring action from the hotel staff, it is possible to identify and classify various types of help that guests may require. All staff should be provided an overview of such problems. In addition, specific staff should be given more intensive training in handling specific types of situation. In this way a staff member hill be able to directly provide necessary assistance to the guest, or at least direct them to the right person who will be able to help them.

Even in situation that cannot be handled by the hotel or its staff to full satisfaction of the guest, the staff should be trained to provide assistance to the guest in getting outside assistance. For example, in case of minor illness a guest can be treated by a resident doctor of the hotel, but in case more specialized attention is needed then the hotel should train its staff in the kind of help that they can provide to help the guest obtain required medical attention.

5 February: Placed purchase orders on inventory, $10000 worth of boots, credit term 30 days from date of invoice. 16 February: Received inventory...

Hi, thank you for your help. In addition, it was mentioned the firm uses the weighted average method of valuing inventory & perptual inventory system to record inventory.

So, should the entry should be as follows?

16 Feb

Dr Inventory - Industrial Leather Boots   $10,000

Cr Cash at Bank - EDB                                   $10,000

If so, I would like to ask since the question did not mention that the invoice on 16th Feb was processed, it was merely receieved. Shouldn't there be another recording on 10 March, 30 days from the invoice for payment?

Or should it be
16 Feb
Dr Inventory - Industrial Leather Boots $10,000
Cr Account Payable - EDB                      $10,000

Then, a record of payment on 10 March, 30 days from invoice?

I need help in finding a topic to write about from the short story "The Necklace" that relates to how the necklace changes Madame Loisel's...

You could write about the way the status of Madame Loisel only appears to change through the wearing of the necklace and about how her confidence is false or only fleeting, a bit like Cinderella's - it is all due to change very shortly.

She has four things in her favor at the Ball - two attributes are real and hers alone (her beauty,her lively bright personality) but two are false (a ball gown they couldn't afford and a necklace which doesn't belong to her, and which itself later turns out to be fake.)

Think about these things:

What is Madame Loisel's first physical reaction to the necklace?

What is she afraid of if she goes to the Ball 'unprepared?'

Explain in the detail the sentence where she is pretty and popular at the Ball. How is she feeling inside? How does the necklace contribute to that? Does it make her 'feel like a million dollars?' Is it because she has temporarily elevated her status to that of the other girls?

Finish by commenting on her level of confidence as she scuttles like a drab poor church mouse through the Champs Elysee.

How do Mrs. Reed, Mr. Brockelhurst, Mr. Rochester, and other characters lie to Jane?Topic: deception

Mrs. Reed is Jane’s auntie. She had promised her husband to take care of Jane and to treat her as one member of the family. However, Jane becomes a burden to Mrs. Reed. After an incident between Jane and his cousin John Reed, in which he bullies her, Jane is sent to the Red Room, where she experiences feelings of fright and panic. As a result, Mrs. Reed decides to send Jane to Lowood, a boarding school for orphans. She lies to Mr. Brockelhurst, the master of Lowood, by telling him that Jane is a deceitful child. Many years late, when Mrs. Reed is in her deathbed, she confesses that she had also lied to Jane’s healthy uncle, who lives in Madeira. She assured him that Jane had perished in school, during an epidemic of typhus. The following passage shows Jane’s bewilderment:

“Why did I never hear of this? I asked

“Because I disliked you too fixedly and thoroughly ever to lend a hand in lifting you to prosperity…” Chapter XXI

Mr. Brockelhurst is a typical Victorian character. He is a clergyman that proclaims to follow the Christian doctrine. However, what he thinks about goodness and evil is far from being in accordance with Christianity. Furthermore, he professes charity by using religion to justify his attitudes. Still, he is neither charitable nor sympathetic when he proclaims that Jane is a liar. His statement is false. Nevertheless, Jane has to endure this deceit until Miss Temple receives a letter from Mr. Lloyd asserting that those accusations are untrue and fabricated.

To analyse Mr. Rochester character, we have to put the novel in its historic context. In the Victorian era, the gentleman was on the top of the social stair. Mr. Rochester responds to the criterion of a gentleman since he owns a big estate and belongs to rural gentry. His father was wealthy and after his brother’s death, he became the master of Thornfield. Likewise, he can establish his own rules, like hiding an insane wife in the attic and preventing it from being known. He lies to Jane because he is in love with her. Her moral attributes attract him, since she is different from the women he met before. Jane guides her master into a moral path and Rochester believes that Jane will rescue him from his tormented life. Nevertheless, the presence of Bertha Mason forces Jane to flee Thornfield, after having refused to become his master's mistress.

Another character also lies to Jane. Grace Pool, Bertha’s guardian, often gives inaccurate justifications in order to keep the secret of Bertha Mason. Nonetheless, Bertha’s lies are also justifiable since Rochester is her employer. When Jane asks Grace Pool about the fire in Rochester’s bedroom, she answers:

“Only master had been reading in his bed last night; he fell asleep with his candle light, and the curtains got on fire” chapter XVI
