I'm looking at his wiki article right now, and it doesn't really show anything really good he did
It's certainly not my area of expertise, and I'm largely gathering this from the Wikipedia article, but my understanding is that he's generally credited with making the USSR the second superpower by "forcing" industrialization to happen (reference 2), and with leading the defeat of the Axis powers (i.e. Nazi Germany) in Europe after Hitler's failed invasion -- although I imagine it's up for debate how much he mattered there, as opposed to the soldiers and military commanders on the ground. According to reference 9, he's popular with a substantial number of young Russians.
that's what my good points were about him, he helped the company become a superpower but a lot of it was forced so I dunno how that could necessarily make him a good leader
I think I might just go with someone else, might look into Lenin a bit more
1. Explain, at the subatomic level (protons, neutrons, and electrons), how chlorine gas has a yellow-green color. In other words, what about the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons that a chlorine atom has makes it yellow-green in color?
The only thing I could come up with was that the interactions with the above three particles create energy in such a way that its wavelength would fall in the "yellow-green" range, but other than that, I have no idea where to even begin. In particular, I can't explain how exactly those particles would create such an energy.
2. Explain the reasoning behind diatomic gases. Be sure to address halogen gases as well as non-halogen gases.
I mentioned that with gases like F2 (F is a halogen) and N2 (N is not a halogen), they form single and triple bonds with themselves respectively to create a more stable molecule and the like. But why don't other atoms do this as often (S, P, C, Fe)?

^to the above, what level of chemistry are you at? Most of it can be explained with quantum but I don't know how advanced chemistry that would entail (been a while for me)
1. Yes, it would have to do with wavelength that is given off - based on the electron shells and the fact that the shells are unstable enough due to wanting only 1 electron to complete the octet.
2. Halogens do because, again, they only need 1 electron to complete the octet. Because of this, their pull toward other electrons is strong enough to create single bonds often with themselves (because you never are going to have just one atom alone, you'll have an abundance, and the strength of the electron and proton is strong enough it'll bond to become more stable). The reason why NOF do as well is because their electron shells are tiny compared to the rest of the periodic table. They only have n=1 and n=2 shells, so the proton pull, again, is strong enough. I don't know if you guys have gotten into pull strengths (I think I didn't learn it until inorganic) but that's the gist of it.
Also, S and P, in particular do do this, just not in a diatomic form. S4 and S6 and P6 are common in nature. The reason they don't do it as often has to do with pull strength again. I'm wanting to explain this in physical chem terms but again, depending on your level, might not be appropriate :/
So, I have to do a presentation in Physics, arguing that Tidal Power is better than any other power source. Does anyone know of any good sources that I could use? Thanks in advance.

Lol, have you [even] thought about this or attempted the assignment?
Also, there's bound a heckload from Hansard or Congressional Record and your academic papers; though, if it's for grade school or something, I don't think that'd be entirely appropriate. [Edit: As references/sources and for arguments.]
As for other forms of energy/power, there's coal, oil, gas, petroleum, nuclear, biomass, biofuel, solar, wind, and some others that I haven't listed. The sources are pretty much in the name of the forms of energy/power - coal, oil, gas, ... solar radiation, wind.
I'm writing a story that incorporates a few Pokémon (namely, Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Arceus).
Is there any rule that states that the first letters of these names must be capitalized? Apparently, the fact that they are trademarked/copyrighted/whatever-the-term-is names doesn't cut it to some of the people with whom I'm going to share my story (I'm submitting this to one of the creative writing professors on campus).

I disagree. In Harry Potter for example, when referring to a Patronus as the name of the magical creature (not a specific Patronus like Harry's), they capitalized it, i.e., "Lupin knows all about Patronuses". I don't think there's any proper rule for this, just do whatever seems best stylistic.
I've got a geometry/optics question- it isn't homework though, more of a personal curiosity.
Consider Escher's "Circle Limit" series of drawings:
1. Is there a mirrored surface that could transform this image into a non-distorted pattern (all of the white lines become straight?). I'm thinking along the lines of anamorphosis. Assume you have access to an invisible camera in case you need to have the camera between the mirror and the picture but don't want the camera to see it's own reflection.
2. Is there a transform that could be applied in photoshop that would accomplish the same thing? (obviously the areas around the edge of the circle would be blurry or have gaps in it, since there's an exponential loss of information as you get further from the centre of the circle)
3. Is there a mirror or a transform that would convert an ordinary infinitely-repeating pattern to look like an Escher circle limit?

What is the inscribed angle A pertaining to a 4 inch section of the circumference of a circle with diameter 11 inches?
Solve for A and I'll tell you how to tick off a postal clerk when they tell you that your toploaders aren't machineable.

What is 4"? The circumference of the full arc, the sides of the triangle, or the circumference of the arc that corresponds to one of the sides of the triangle?
I'm not quite sure, or I might be able to help.

Went to a new shop from a friend's recommendation, DQ'ed for willful violation of CR 100.6b.
I took the quotient of the arc and the circumference and multiplied it by 360 to find the angle at the centre of the circle.
I then drew a line from A to the centre to split the triangles and form right angled triangles.
Knowing the hypotenuse and an angle, I worked out the lengths of the other two sides of the lower triangles.
Knowing that the middle line is equal to the radius, two sides of the upper triangles becomes known, so A is easily calculable.
The DDM (Domestic Mail Manual) section 200 Regarding Commercial Letters or Cards:
3.12.1 Machinability
To ensure transport through automated mail processing machines, a mailpiece and its contents must bend easily when subjected to a transport belt tension of 40 pounds around an 11-inch-diameter drum.
It specifically identifies credit cards as flexible enough to be machineable. Simply holding a toploader (with a land in it perhaps) and folding it greater than 160% should be enough to convince them that the object will indeed bend around an 11 inch drum.
Personally I try to avoid clerks because I don't want to have this argument. I use the APC or simply buy stamps and then stamp them and dump them in the outgoing.

I've been reviewing basic maths because I'm afraid I'm getting old and senile so I'm testing my brain to see if it's still working.
Simple calc problem. But I don't know how to interpret it. I'm told that the derivative of a function f'(x^2) = 1/x and asked to find a function f(x) such that f(1) = 1.
What I don't understand is how to interpret f'(x^2). When you take the derivative of f(x^2), are you taking it with respect to x or to x^2? If it's with respect to x, then f(x^2) = ln|x| + C, but if it's with respect to x^2, you can rewrite the first equation as f'(x^2) = 1 / sqrt(x^2), then f(x^2) = 2 * sqrt(x^2) + C, thinking of x^2 as any substitution symbol as you integrate.
So, given no other information, what is the convention?

The orthodox interpretation would be the second one you mentioned: If f'(x^2) = 1/x, you can recover f by thinking of f as a function of a new variable, u. Then f'(u) is such that when u is replaced by x^2, the result is 1/x. Thus f'(u) = 1/sqrt(u) = u^(-1/2).
If you can, please just comment on the worst mistakes or something like that - from a more grammatical point of view, stylistics are not the main point of the assingment.
Thanks a lot in advance.

I am trying to get better at making decks. I have had trouble creating more competitive decks as I only really build with the cards I have. I dont have that many value cards, in function or expense. I (almost) never play at FNM type events so its not like im playing against $2k decks. If I do usally play at one, Its a draft or limited game. Any advice on building decks is greatly supported! DMs are appreciated.
Thank you!
To put it more simply, it's like saying, "I can prove Jesus is real and loves you. See? Here's my Hispanic friend Jesus. He's had a crush on you for a long time. Tell em' Jesus."
Here's a joke! Whats the internal temperature of a Taun-Taun?
This isnt really homework but a question i have been pondering on for a long time. Did the united states sell arms to either sides (or both) during pre-world war two? This may be a stupid question.

Don't know about the Axis, but I would only expect some US manufacturers were selling to Germany, Italy or Japan in the lead-up (especially prior to the later months of 1939). Here again though, we enter a problem of terms: Japan and italy aren't large countries, and while Germany was reasonably sized itself, it (and Italy) lacked the colonial empires of the other European powers, so they were engaging from a resource-deficient position relative to the Allies. This meant that in the lead-up to the war, they (especially Germany) tried to stockpile resources. So does it count if we sell them raw materials that fueled their wartime economy but didn't sell the end weapon product?

your guess is as good as mine buddy. Id just multiply (summa 0-3) (summa 0-7)(summa 0-31) and call it a day.
Oh I see now, I was confused because it had nothing on the bottom. But that makes sense.
Also, its just something they put on the side of a building. Its really really long...
