In which part of South Carolina was Joel Roberts Poinsett born?
Charleston is the part of South Carolina where Joel Roberts Poinsett (March 2, 1774 - December 12, 1851) was born.
Specifically, Poinsett was educated and trained to spend his life as a skilled botanist, linguist, physician and statesman. All of his education and experience culminated in his years as Special Envoy of 1822-1823 and as first U.S. Minister to Mexico of 1825-1830. With his knowledge of diplomacy, languages, plants and science, he recognized the importance of the late-blooming poinsettia plant and managed to get specimens sent from its native Mexico to the United States of America in the early 19th century.

Which statement best describes the ideal of loyalty to ones supervisor?
An ideal supervisor first and foremost always thinks about the company's needs. He or she are natural born leaders, as leaders aren't made, they are born to lead. The ideal supervisior knows not to take sides between employee's and to never discuss something that one employee may have discussed with him or her amoungst other employee's. An ideal supervisor is a person who the company and employee's can trust. He or she can get the job done the right way without screaming at employee's or making them look stupid in front of their peers and most importantly an ideal supervisor is a team player because if a supervisor isn't a team player they don't stand a good chance of getting the work done the right way or shipped on time.
These days with all of the Reality Shows on Television it's sickening how you see the (supposedly boss) yelling and embarrassing employee's. That's not the real world and if it is, then that person is sick. No one needs to be-little anyone to get the job done, a little bit of respect and knowing how to talk to people wins out every time.
What did Rene descartes emphasize and assert?

David Rutherford discovered nitrogen, Travers and William Ramsay discovered neon, krypton and xenon. Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay discovered Argon.

How do scientists know that there was a supercontinent?
Scientists know there was a supercontinent, specifically Pangaea, through several lines of evidence. These include the matching geological formations and fossils found on continents that are now widely separated, as well as the distribution of certain species that suggest they were once connected. Additionally, paleomagnetic data shows the historical positions of continents, indicating they were once part of a larger landmass. The study of plate tectonics further supports the idea of continental drift and the existence of supercontinents over geological time.

How do you make a glider fly in circles?
Is this a trick question? Is it a real glider or a model/toy? It's tough enough flying powered aircraft in actual closed circles in the sky, much less a glider. The best you can regularly expect from a glider is a tight corkscrew up or down. A true, closed circle in the sky by a glider would require some VERY accommodating updrafts. But assuming you have that VERY rare condition...
You roll the ailerons into the turn, stepping on the appropriate rudder at the same time, being careful to maintain the aircraft in a coordinated attitude, reach the angle of turn you desire, center the rudder, check for aircraft coordination. If it is coordinated, great. If not, adjust with judicious use of the rudder. Hold that pose. You are now in a turn, making circles, until such time as you command another control input... or your rare updrafts quit on you and you run out of altitude... whichever comes fist.
What are the units you use for measuring a moment?
If you mean a brief moment of time: seconds.
If you mean momentum: this is mass x velocity, so the units are kg x meters / seconds

When did René Descartes invent the coordinates?
Descartes was a very philosophical person. In fact he's the father of modern philosophy
He thought the world on 3 axes, he had to do this while he was trying to solve the riddle of pappus.
But to be more specific he invented the coordinate system while he was sleeping with one oven at he's side and had 3 dreams.
the answer you're looking for, is that "Descartes dreamt the coordinate system, then he did it reality on a compendium of one of he's 3 books of philosopy"
What unique things need to be discovered?
We don't know, that's why they need to be discovered.
