Answer:

The old woman told the knight that it is better to have a wife who is old and faithful instead of a beautiful wife who cheats. As far as riches or poverty is concerned, the rich have money but their worries did not end. Instead, their greed for finer better things increase while the poor are content with what they have.

Explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" includes "The Wife of Bath's Tale" from where the excerpt can be found. The tale of the Old Woman is told by the Wife, emphasizing on the themes of wealth and beauty.

When the knight criticizes the old woman for being so ugly and poor, she in return told her that beauty and riches are not the best of qualities a man needs. For the nobles of men have virtues that encompasses wealth and physical beauty. She also told him that an ugly wife is far more better than a beautiful one, for he will not have the stress of having a cheating wife. And for wealth, men who are poor have the most happy life than those who are rich. Riches only increases want and greed. Even "<em>Crist wol, we clayme of him our gentillesse,  Nat of our eldres for hir old richesse</em>". She adds "<em>Iesus, hevene king,  Ne wolde nat chese a vicious living</em>."

Her arguments are convincing for they are true. She also managed to make him understand it and thus, lead a happy life with him.

A) Identify the constitutional clause that is common to both Shaw v. Reno and Easley v. Cromartie.
eduard

Answer:

a. The Equal Protection Clause is a clause from the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The clause provides that "nor shall any State [...] deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws".

Its purpose is to apply substantially more constitutional restrictions against the states than had applied before the Civil War. Hence, in Shaw v. Reno, 509 U.S. 630 (1993), Supreme Court held that redistricting based on race must be held to a standard of strict scrutiny under the equal protection clause while bodies doing redistricting must be conscious of race to the extent that they must ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act.

While in the case of Easley v. Cromartie, 532 U.S. 234 (2001), Supreme Court held that the State violated the Equal Protection Clause in drawing the 1997 boundaries was based on clearly erroneous findings.

b. In the case of Easley v. Cromartie, an appeal from the decision given in hunt v. Cromartie was filed in the supreme court of the United States by Easley. In hunt v. Cromartie, the court held that the legislature of North Carolina did not use the factor of race while drawing the boundaries in the twelfth congressional district,1992. It was held by the court that the legislature did not violate the equal protection clause of the constitution and no evidence to prove that legislature set its boundaries on a racial basis rather than a political basis.

 In Easley v Cromartie the appeal was that drawing the boundaries for voting violated the equal protection clause of the constitution. The supreme court of the United States held that the decision of the district court is erroneous because it actually relied upon racial factors and this is not in the interest of the state.

In Shaw v. Reno the court concluded that the plan of North Carolina tried to segregate the voters on the basis of race.

If cooking is a ccp for ground beef patties in your seaside grill, then ensuring the temperature reaches _______ for fifteen sec
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

If cooking is a CCP for ground beef patties in your seaside grill, then ensuring the temperature reaches<u> 155 degrees F</u>  for fifteen seconds would be an appropriate critical limit.

Each CCP identified by grouping menu items into processes must establish significant limits in order to become a formal part of the HACCP program. The FDA Food Code and local health departments establish time and temperature specifications for all types of food served in restaurants. Find out the time and temperature requirements for each CCP for each food type for each menu item your restaurant serves.

Usually, the main limitation is to keep food as far away from the danger zone as possible. The "danger zone" is usually between 42 degrees Fahrenheit and 135 degrees Fahrenheit, but this upper limit depends on what you're cooking. The space between 42 and 135 is called the danger zone because this temperature range is ideal for the growth of bacteria and pathogens. The less time food stays in the danger zone, the less chance of contamination.
