The poem "A Red, Red Rose" by Robert Burns expresses the poet's deep love for his beloved in exaggerated terms. He compares his love to a newly bloomed rose in June and sweet melodies. He vows to love her still until all the seas dry up and the rocks melt in the sun. In the last stanza, the poet bids his love farewell for a while but promises to return even if it means traveling ten thousand miles. Burns uses vivid imagery and hyperbole to convey the infinite and enduring nature of his love in this celebrated love poem.Ch.1/L2 - the Northern Renaissance

Geoffrey Chaucer was an English poet and civil servant in the late 14th century, best known for The Canterbury Tales. He joined the court of Elizabeth, Countess of Ulster in 1357 and later took part in the Hundred Years' War, where he was taken captive until a large ransom was paid for his release. Chaucer married Philippa Roet in 1366, which helped advance his political career, and they had four children, though his wife's death in 1387 brought him financial hardship. He made major contributions to English literature as the first poet to fully capture the lives and language of ordinary people in England through works like The Canterbury Tales, The Book of the Duchess, and The House

Geoffrey Chaucer (1343-1400) was an English author who lived in London and worked for the English royalty in diplomatic duties. He is best known for his work The Canterbury Tales, a collection of stories told by a group of pilgrims as they travel to Canterbury Cathedral. The pilgrims come from various social classes and tell stories that provide insights into English life in the late-14th century. Though Chaucer intended to include 120 tales, he left the work unfinished at his death around 1400.Chapter11presentation

The 14th century was a time of calamity, decay, and violence in Western Europe. The Black Death pandemic devastated populations, weakening institutions and fueling social unrest. In Italy, writers like Petrarch and Boccaccio captured this turmoil, using new styles like the sonnet and novella. Giotto also broke from Byzantine tradition with realistic frescoes depicting emotional biblical scenes, beginning the Renaissance in art.Old English and Middle English Literature pptx

1) The document discusses England's trade and migration before 1560, focusing on an investigation of the early 16th century.
2) Wool and woollen cloth dominated England's trade, though other industries employed foreign craftsmen as well, such as Flemish weavers invited in the 14th century.
3) Students research primary sources on taxes levied on foreign migrants from the 15th-16th centuries to understand the main trades and role of migrants, finding textiles dominant but also other crafts like metalworking employing immigrants.Jean-Baptiste Lully

Jean-Baptiste Lully was born in Florence, Italy in 1632 and showed an early talent for music, learning guitar and violin from Franciscan friars. He moved to Paris in 1646 and gained the patronage of Louis XIV, becoming his composer and director of instrumental music. Lully established opera as a new French art form, combining drama, music, and ballet. He gained a monopoly over French opera and established strict rules for productions and the orchestra. Lully's innovations helped establish the modern orchestra and set the standard practices for conducting.Recently uploaded (20)

A Systematic Review:
Provides a clear and transparent process
Facilitates efficient integration of information for rational decision
making
Demonstrates where the effects of health care are consistent and
where they do vary
Minimizes bias (systematic errors) and reduce chance effects
Can be readily updated, as needed.
Meta-analysis can provide more precise estimates than individual
studies

The Virtual Medical Operations Center Briefs (VMOC) were created as a service-learning project by the Yale School of Public Health faculty and graduate students in response to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake.
Each year, students enrolled in Environmental Health Science Course 581Public Health Emergencies: Disaster Planning and Response produce the VMOC Briefs. These briefs compile diverse information sourcesincluding status reports, maps, news articles, and web contentinto a single, easily digestible document that can be widely shared and used interactively.
Key features of this report include:
- Comprehensive Overview: Provides situation updates, maps, relevant news, and web resources.
- Accessibility: Designed for easy reading, wide distribution, and interactive use.
- Collaboration: The unlocked" format enables other responders to share, copy, and adapt it seamlessly.
