How did the Potsdam Conference lead to the Cold War?

The Allied
Powers during(1939€“1945) were Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States. Those
three nations held a number of conferences during the conflict to coordinate their strategy
against the Axis Powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan). By May 1945, the war in Europe was over.
Therefore, Potsdamwhich took place from July 17, to August 2, 1945was the last of these
meetings.

The main reason why Potsdam was the beginning of the Cold War was
Germany's complete defeat. The Anglo-American alliance with Soviet Russia was an unnatural one:
only a common hatred of Nazi Germany had kept them together. There had been a lot of hostility
and distrust between Moscow and the West before the war, and they resurfaced after Germany's
surrender. In addition, the West feared the Soviet troops might Communize the lands they
occupied.

Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, had attended all of the
previous meetings of the Big Three and he was present at Potsdam. Winston Churchill, British
prime minister, was also experienced at these conferences. Stalin and Churchill did not trust
each other. Churchill was especially suspicious of Stalin's motives and machinations in Eastern
Europe, and talks over the fate of Poland were fraught. Potsdam was the first conference for
America's new president, Harry S. Truman.

The leaders of the three nations
discussed the occupation and administration of Germany and Austria, the establishment of Polish
borders, reparations, and the unfinished war against Japan. The Potsdam Declaration, which
demanded Japanese surrender, was issued.

The Potsdam Agreement, which ended
the conference, was open to diverse interpretations. It broke down within a couple of
years.

In Act 1 Scene 5 how does Romeo praise Juliet?

In addition to
's remarks above, as he first encounters , he speaks to her in a religiousin the first quatrain
of a sonnet that conveys the theme of Romantic love:

If I
profane with my unworthiest hand

This holy shrine, the gentle sin is
this:

My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand

To
smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

First, Romeo
adresses Juliet with the metaphor "This holy shrine," and personifies his lips as two
"holy pilgrims" that wish to worship the shrine by touching and kissing.  Juliet
demurs, thinking his advances too strong; she suggests that the pilgrims' hands can also touch
the saints' shrines, and such a touch is equal to a kiss.  Undeterred, Romeo then calls Juliet
"dear saint" and asks her if he can do what pilgrims' lips do in prayer, and he steals
a kiss.  Then, in a final metaphor, Romeo suggests another kiss that, by her kiss, his "sin
is purged,'' thus continuing the metaphor of a saint who can obtain for a person the forgiveness
of sin.

What are Boo Radley's physical features in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Without having met , , ,
and Dill imagine Boo as a kind of monster who is "about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging
from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch." Jem imagines that
Boo has a long scar on his face and bloodstained hands. 

Interestingly, when Scout meets Boo after Boo has saved her life and Jem's, she offers
a very scant physical description of Boo. He has a white face and white hands, hollow cheeks,
gray eyes that are almost "colorless," and hair that is "dead and thin, almost
feathery."

Scout describes the way Boo movesuncertainlyand says that Boo has a
cough and takes a handkerchief to his mouth. Boo speaks very little and communicates with Scout
by squeezing her hand to let her know he wants to go home. He only says, "Will you take me
home?" as a scared child would. She takes him home and mentions that he has to stoop to do
so, indicating that he is taller than she is. She says she never saw him again. The reader knows
little about how Boo actually looks, but can tell from his motions and actions that he is an
exceedingly gentle and scared soul.

Which is the value of the sum x1+x2+x3, if x1, x2, x3 are the solutions of the equation x^3-3x^2+2x=0?

The equation x^3
-3x^2 +2x =0

is a third power polynomial . Then it has 3 roots:

x1, x2, and x3

In the standard form of third power
polynomial:

ax^3+bx^2+cx+d=0

Viete' relation states
that:

x1+x2+x3= -b/a

Then in our equation:

a= 1

b=-3

c=2

d=0

Then x1+x2+x3= -b/a= 3

What are Boxer's thoughts in chapter 4?

During the
Battle of the Cowshed,becomes whatcalls "the most terrifying spectacle of all" when he
rears up on his hind legs and kicks a stable boy in the head and kills him, causing the men who
saw the attack to run off in a panic.

For his bravery
Boxer is rewarded the "Animal Hero, First Class " medal. However, Boxer is not
entirely happy with himself. Upon killing the boy, he says he had forgotten that he was wearing
iron shoes.tries to tell him he has done a good thing, but Boxer is too sorrowful to listen. He
says, "I have no wish to take life, not even human life." It seems that in the
excitement of the battle, he had forgotten his own strength.

Books that can compare and contrast with A tales of two cities (URGENT) So i'm been debating to whether do the essay on these two books, pride and...

Contrasting a
Tale of Two Cities and Pride and Prejudice might be interesting since they present two different
kinds of societies: one stable, one highly unstable; one English, one French; one traditional,
one revolutionary; etc.

In the book The Egypt Game, chapter 10, "The Return to Egypt," what is the confusion about the word "sign"?

On
Halloween, the three girls make plans to leave the group of trick-or-treaters they will be with
to make a brief stop at Egypt. Elizabeth nervously asks what they are going to do, and April
says that they will stick close together and wait for a secret omen, or sign, showing them that
the time is right to separate from the others. Marshall, who overhears much but usually says
little, asks whether the sign will be a pigeon feather, and April replies mysteriously that they
will know it when it happens. 

As soon as they join the large group, Marshall
stops in his tracks and says he wants a sign. The girls are mortified that he would speak
publicly about their secrets. He had never blabbed before. They scold him for speaking of their
game out loud in the hearing of others, but he clarifies: "Not a secret sign. ... A sign to
carry." Melanie realizes that Marshall thinks they are part of a demonstration. He has
never gone trick-or-treating before, but he is aware of peace demonstrations that were common in
California in the 1960s, the time period in which the book is set. 

The confusion about the word "sign" is that the girls think
Marshall is referring to the secret omen they discussed earlier, when he really is referring to
a physical sign like the sign a demonstrator would carry.
