Arts & Humanities - 31 March 2007

I am writing a paper on Hubert von Herkomers painting "our village nurse" . I need more information about nursing during that time era. Were nurses their own contractors? Did they get hired by the patients or did they work exclusively for doctors? How is it that there would be a village nurse? Any input is appreciated. I can't seem to find any resources answering these questions, if you know of one, please let me know. Thanks

i found a painting by Sophie Gengembre Anderson called "Young Girl Fixing Her Hair" and the subject is identical to my girlfriend.
i even showed it to her mom and she thought it was her daughter for a moment.

I've narrowed it down to:

Dune
Ringworld
Journey to the Center of the Earth

I'm leaning towards Journey to the Center of the Earth, but what's your input?

Im planning to take dance lessons over summer just for fun. I really dont know what kinds there are... I want something that teaches you to move every body part. Nothing like the splits or flips, high jumps. Just so I cant move well and know how to.

I'm almost 25 and have always wanted to act but for some reason never pursued it. And now I really want to but feel as though I'm too old.

Which order would make the most sense? I understand there's some overlap between The Illiad and The Odyssey (or at least one expects you to know events that happened in the other).

Will reading them in the "wrong" order cause mass confusion? Or at least more confusion than I would have the other way?

I'm curious as to who people think the best leader in American history, living or past, is. This topic can be debated extremely so please back up your answer with solid details. Thank you.

We laugh and we cry, we feel happy and we feel sad, we love and we hate, we feel pain we feel yoj, we work so hard to get something! But why? In the end we will loose everything. I think life is a gift ( not by god ) and we have to enjoy it! We have to make it as happier as possible, we should give love as much as possible, and laugh as much as possible We dont have to take life so serious! What is your opinion?
