Resolved Question: Which school trip should I go on?

Ok, so for the longest time I've wanted to go every over the world, and now my high school design class is going to Europe! I'm so exited! Anyways, there are 2 slightly different trips that I can pick from, and I'd never be able to decide by myself! I know it's far away, but I'm supposed to decide now So, here are the two trips: Trip 1: 17 days; Goes to Frankfurt, Heidelburg, Munich, Innsbruck, Venice, Rome, Florence, Lucerne, Alsace, Paris, London, then back home to Florida. Sightseeing Tours In: Heldelberg, Lucerne, and Colmar. Walking Tours In: Munich, Rome, Paris, and London. Other Attractions Heldelburg Castle, Dachau, Sistine Chaple, St. Peters Basilica, Colosseum, Duomo, Notre Dame, and Versailles. Trip 2: 19 Days; Vienna, Munich, Venice, Rome, Florence, Lucerne, Alsace, Paris, London, then back home. Sightseeing Tours: Vienna, Munich, Venice, Vatican City, Rome, Florence, Versailles, Paris, and London Walking Tours: Paris and London Other Attractions: Schoenbrunn Palace, Dachau, Doges' Palace, Vatican, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica, Colosseum, Notre Dame, Louvre, Versailies, Seine Cruise, and Eiffel Tower. The so they are a little different. The first trip goes more places, and the second trip is longer. The second trip also does more but it also costs more. So which one do you think i should go on? Also, if you've been to any of these places, which ones were good and which ones not so much? Anything else I should know about? Thanks!!

Resolved Question: If Denver, Colorado was to host the Winter Olympics, would you consider traveling to Denver for the games?

Denver, Colorado was originally awarded the 1976 Winter Olympic Games but due to financial cost to host the games, Denver withdrew having the Winter Olympics in Denver and the Olympics went to Innsbruck, Austria instead who also hosted the Winter Olympics in 1964. Although I have read that Denver, Colorado has considered putting forth a bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics, the only way this could happen is if Chicago did not host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. If Denver was to be awarded the 2018 Winter Olympic Games, it would be the third time the Western United States has hosted the Olympics; the first being in 1960 in Squaw Valley, California and the 2002 in Salt Lake City, Utah. If Denver, Colorado USA was to ever host the Winter Olympic Games, would you attend the games in Denver? Why or why not? =================================================== If Denver did host the Winter Olympic Games, I would like to visit the Winter Olympics in Denver because my one of the goals I would like to do in life is to attend the Olympics and if the Olympics were held in North America, I would have better access to seeing the games.

Open Question: I need this answer before 11:30 PLEASE!!!!!!! I need this reworded(most) I tried and It didnt really work.?

The beginning note is meant to explain to that the speaker of the poem is the Duke of Ferrara; this provides the reader with location (Italy) and class environment (aristocratic). In the opening lines Browning sets the scene for the poem, focusing the reader's imagination on the painting on the wall. The central premise of the poem is put in place: the dead wife will appear to arrive back to life only through the artistry of the picture. Through this, Browning allows the reader to start to think of the lady as a real person, once very much alive, and initiates a "relationship" between the dead lady and the reader. Once the reader begins to feel sympathy for the lady, then the subsequent "reasons" given by the Duke concerning her "imperfections" will seem every the more outrageous. Here, Browning accomplishes two things: a) an emphasis on the mastery of the artist, "Fra Pandolf," who created a work of art that makes the dead lady seem so animated; b) an introduction to the Duke's subtle, mocking tone with the phrases "piece of wonder" and "busily a day". These words seem to be heavy with ridicule and scorn for both lady and artist. At this point the reader might start to think the Duke was jealous of the man who "fussed" over his wife but who, ultimately created—not a masterpiece—but just a portion of one. It should be noted that, unlike some other figures in Browning's work, Fra Pandolf—and later, Claus of Innsbruck—is an imaginary, not historical, figure. The use of the word "you" informs the reader that there is an immediate addressee within the fiction of the poem; the speaker is not addressing the reader, but another character. More specifically, it indicates that the speaker of the poem, the Duke, is now addressing the emissary directly, asking him to sit and gaze upon picture of the dead lady. The reader may imagine the emissary sitting in a seat while the Duke stands and delivers his speech. In effect, the emissary is now in a subordinate position. The words "by design" imply that the artist is well-known and has some prestige attached to his name. The Duke may want to advertise that it was his possess talent for hiring the right artist that was responsible for the "life- like quality" of the picture. The Duke also stresses that every of the painting's viewers— "strangers like you"—remark upon the painting's life-like look. In addition, the Duke appears more taken with the painting than with the real lady the picture represents. The image of emotion—the "passion" in the "glance"—seems more valuable to him than genuine emotion. The use of the word "its" instead of "her" suggests that the Duke has more of a relationship with the painting than he did with his dead wife. With these details, Browning begins to interject the notion of the Duke's jealousy. That "passionate glance" might have been placed there by the painter, whom the Duke probably sees as a rival for his dead wife's affection. These lines suggest just how striking the depth and passion of the image are, since apparently every previous viewers have wanted to know what excited the Duchess enough to inspire that look in her eyes. The Duke also betrays his possessiveness and desire for control when he comments that "none puts by / The curtain . . .but I." At this point, Browning suggests more of the Duke's possessiveness, as he tells the emissary that it wasn't his presence alone that made his wife glad or caused the "spot of joy," which may literally have been a blush. The Duke insinuates that this blush must have arrive to her face from either being in the company of a lover or from her far too impressionable and undiscriminating nature. The Duke begins to offer his guesses at what, aside from some illicit pleasure, might have caused the Duchess to blush. Two readings are possible, turning on the reader's sense of how seriously the Duke believes in the monk's vows of celibacy. If the painter was not the Duchess' lover, then her nature was simply too susceptible to flattery for the Duke's likinng. This section of the poem begins the Duke's long list of complaints against the Duchess First and foremost, she was innocent, too easily pleased and impressed. He blames her for not seeing any difference between being the wife of a "great man" and: being able to look the sunset; receiving a bouquet from someone of status below the Duke's; or riding a white mule. While he thinks it's fine to be courteous ("She thanked men,—good!"), she gave every men the nice of respect that only a man with his family's rank and distinction deserves. Having recounted the Duchess's imperfections, the Duke announces that, even though her faults were many, he would not lower himself—"stoop"—by telling her what bothered him. Note how the Duke tries to paint himself as a "plain-spoken" man, one who has no "skill" in "speech." At this point in the poem, the reader may realize the Duke is well-skilled in the uses of language. The Duke explains that, even if he had the ski

I said "Fra Pandolf" by design, for never read Strangers like you that pictured countenance, The depth and passion of its earnest glance, But to myself they turned (since none puts by The curtain I have drawn for you, but I) And seemed as they would ask me, if they durst, How such a glance came there; so, not the first Are you to turn and ask thus. Sir, 'twas not Her husband's presence only, called that spot Of joy into the Duchess' cheek: perhaps Fra Pandolf chanced to say "Her mantle laps Over my lady's wrist too much," or "Paint Must never wish to reproduce the faint Half-flush that dies along her throat": such stuff Was courtesy, she thought, and cause enough For calling up that spot of joy. She had A heart---how shall I say?---too soon made glad, Too easily impressed; she liked whate'er She looked on, and her looks went everywhere. Sir, 'twas every one! My favour at her breast, The dropping of the daylight in the West, The bough of cherries some officious fool Broke in the orchard for her, the white mule She rode with round the terrace---every and each Would draw from her same the approving speech, Or blush, at least. She thanked men,---good! but thanked Somehow---I know not how---as if she ranked My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name With anybody's gift. Who'd stoop to blame This sort of trifling? Even had you skill In speech---(which I have not)---to make your will Quite clear to such an one, and say, "Just this Or that in you disgusts me; here you miss, Or there exceed the mark"---and if she let Herself be lessoned so, nor plainly set Her wits to yours, forsooth, and made excuse, ---E'en then would be some stooping; and I pick Never to stoop. Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt, Whene'er I passed her; but who passed without Much the same grin? This grew; I gave commands; Then every smiles stopped together. There she stands As if alive. Will't please you rise? We'll meet The company below, then. I repeat, The Count your master's known munificence Is ample warrant that no just pretence Of mine for dowry will be disallowed; Though his fair daughter's self, as I avowed At starting, is my object. Nay, we'll go Together down, sir. Notice Neptune, though, Taming a sea-horse, thought a rarity, Which Claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze for me!
