In the conflict between Polyphemus and Odysseus, which is more important: physical strength or intelligence? What makes you think so?

Answer:

Physical Strength

Explanation:

Odysseus, as a noble Greek warrior, is expected to possess great physical strength, and, in a number of places throughout The Odyssey, Odysseus displays feats of strength far in excess of anything anyone else could do. When he returns at long last to Ithaca, disguised as a beggar, he accepts Penelope's challenge to shoot an arrow through the gaps of twelve axes lined in a row. But this is not the real test of strength; it's the fact that Odysseus is able to string the bow in the first place that shows this. No other man could possibly hope to perform this great feat, and all the suitors fail.

Stabbing out the eye of the Cyclops Polyphemus was another example of Odysseus's enormous strength. He uses a large stake which he needs to lift up all by himself before driving it deep into Polyphemus's eye. And that takes some doing. Also, Odysseus, at the prompting of Tiresias the blind seer, lifts a huge wooden oar and carries it over his shoulder, walking so far inland that people won't know what it is. They'll think it's a winnowing fan. Odysseus can then make a sacrifice to Poseidon, god of the sea and cause of most of Odysseus's trials and tribulations.

Much of what Odysseus does in The Odyssey shows how clever and crafty he is. However, he is one of the most heroic soldiers of the Trojan War. Had he not been physically strong, he could not have held such respect among his men.

Hope this helps, have a great Wednesday!

Read these two paragraphs from a science course, looking for similarities in how the paragraphs are organized.

Light
Light passes through some materials without scattering. We call objects of this kind transparent. Clear glass and clear plastic wrap are two transparent objects. Other objects, such as wax paper or frosted glass, let some light through but scatter or block the rest. These objects are translucent. Then there are opaque objects, which do not let any light through. Opaque objects block all light. Instead, they produce shadows on a surface when an object prevents light from reaching that surface. You are an opaque object. So is a wooden door, a refrigerator, or a moose.

Sound
Sound travels in waves that are produced when something vibrates. Sound waves are invisible—we cannot see the movement of sound through the air with our eyes. Unlike light, sound needs a medium, something to travel through. Sounds can move through solids like walls or clothing, liquids such as water, or gases such as air. Walls, water, and air are all examples of different media through which sound travels.


Both paragraphs describe how a type of energy moves, or travels. How are the structures of the paragraphs alike?


Choose the answer that best compares the structures of the two paragraphs.

Both paragraphs start with a general statement about how the energy form moves—
then they get more specific.

One paragraph is about light and objects that interact with light; the other is about sound.

One paragraph starts with a concept while the other paragraph starts with an example.

Both paragraphs are about a form of energy that we use in our daily lives without thinking about it.

First, choose two sources from each of the research
documents provided on this page, and summarize each
source below, in your own words. Be sure to include
the title of each source in your summary.

Second Page:Source: “Acceptability of smartphone technology to interrupt sedentary time in adults with
diabetes”
Abstract
Breaking up sitting time with light- or moderate-intensity physical activity may help to alleviate some negative health effects of sedentary behavior, but few studies have examined ways
to effectively intervene. This feasibility study examined the acceptability of a new technology
(NEAT!) developed to interrupt prolonged bouts (≥20 min) of sedentary time among adults with
type 2 diabetes. Eight of nine participants completed a 1-month intervention and agreed that
NEAT! made them more conscious of sitting time. Most participants (87.5 %) expressed a desire
to use NEAT! in the future. Sedentary time decreased by 8.1± 4.5 %, and light physical activity
increased by 7.9± 5.5 % over the 1-month period. The results suggest that NEAT! is an acceptable technology to intervene on sedentary time among adults with type 2 diabetes. Future
studies are needed to examine the use of the technology among larger samples and determine
its effects on glucose and insulin levels.
DISCUSSION
The current study suggests that the NEAT! technology is a feasible and acceptable tool to intervene on sedentary time among adults with type 2 diabetes, who may be unduly adversely
affected by excessive sitting. Participants used the technology for an average of 21 days over a
1-month period and indicated that using the technology made them more aware of how much
time they spent sitting. Furthermore, the majority of individuals agreed that they would use the
technology in the future if it were available, further suggesting NEAT!’s acceptability. As smartphone usage in the USA continues to rise, this ubiquitous technology may provide an opportunity to intervene to improve the health of a large proportion of the population.
CONCLUSIONS
Given the expected rise in the prevalence of diabetes in the USA, as well as the strong detrimental association between sedentary time and insulin or glucose levels, innovative approaches are
needed to break up prolonged sedentary behavior among the large proportion of the population affected by diabetes. The results of this study suggest that the NEAT! technology is an
acceptable tool for use by adults with type 2 diabetes. Additional refinement of the technology
is needed further to optimize improvements in sedentary time, physical activity, and breaks in
sedentary behavior. Examination of longer-term effects of using the technology on glucose and
insulin levels is also warranted.

Why are six people living in a geodesic dome on the slopes of a volcano in Hawaii?
Passage: "Right now, six people are living in a nearly windowless, white geodesic dome on the slopes of Hawaii’s Mauna Loa volcano. They sleep in tiny rooms, use no more than eight minutes of shower time a week and subsist on a diet of freeze-dried, canned, or preserved food. When they go outside, they exit through a mock airlock, clad head to toe in simulated spacesuits. The dome’s occupants are playing a serious version of the game of pretend—what if we lived on Mars?"

Imagine your school receives a large donation. The school board is considering three different possibilities for making use of the money: a new cafeteria, a new library, or a new gymnasium. Consider the state of these facilities at your own school, why each is important, and why each does or doesn't need the money for upgrades or repairs. Then, write a letter to the school board explaining your findings and expressing your opinion about which is the best choice to receive the donation.
