“. . . when in the wrought chest the wind blowing over and the sea heaving struck her [Danae] with fear, her cheeks not dry, she put her arm over Perseus and spoke: My child such trouble I have. And you sleep, your heart is placid; you dream in the joyless wood; in the night nailed in bronze, in the blue dark you lie still and shine. The salt water that towers above your head as the wave goes by you heed not, nor the wind’s voice; you press your bright face to the red blanket. If this danger were danger to you, your small ear would attend my words. But I tell you, Sleep, my baby, and let the sea sleep, let our trouble sleep . . .”
—Simonides, Greek poet,
as quoted in A Soaring Spirit: Time Frame 600–400 B.C.

1. pandemic
an agency of the United Nations
2. social services
government-sponsored services
3. developing countries
low- and middle-income countries
4. World Health Organization
an infectious disease outbreak
Answer:
1. pandemic - an infectious disease outbreak
2. World Health Organization - an agency of the United Nations
3. social services - government-sponsored services
4. developing countries - low- and middle-income countries
Explanations:
2. The World Health Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health. The WHO Constitution, which establishes the agency's governing structure and principles, states its main objective as "the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health". It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, with six semi-autonomous regional offices and 150 field offices worldwide.
3. Social services are a range of public services intended to provide support and assistance towards particular groups, which commonly include the disadvantaged. They may be provided by individual actors, private and independent organizations, or administered by a government agency. Social services are connected with the concept of welfare and the welfare state, as countries with large welfare programs often provide a wide range of social services.
4. There is also no clear agreement on which countries fit this category. The term low and middle-income country (LMIC) is often used interchangeably but refers only to the economy of the countries. The World Bank classifies the world's economies into four groups, based on Gross National Income per capita: high, upper-middle, lower-middle, and low income countries.
Why is Pliny the Younger’s account of what happened at Pompeii important for historians of ancient Rome?
Answer:
His account and specifics, aloing with his qualifications of a successful lawyer and politions making him a reliable soucre makes his account the most important. No other account of pompeii comes close to his, and they also do not have his qualifications and achievements to make their account legitimate. Furthermore, his carrear proves this isn't some roman tale, rather a real event that occured.
Answer:
Pretty simple.
Explanation:
His source was the only reliable source that was qualified for reliability. While others wrote things like "Zeus brought his fury upon us" Pliny wrote something like the mountains erupted in hot red water as black mist flooded the land. Just a perspective.

Write a feature story on Queen Isabella and her decision to send Christopher Columbus on a voyage of discovery.
Answer: Columbus's Voyage
By: Me.
Explanation: Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who stumbled upon the Americas and whose journeys marked the beginning of centuries of transatlantic colonization.
Christopher Columbus originally wanted to find an all new water route to Asia, He was positive that he could get to Asia by sailing west on the Atlantic Ocean. This idea proved him to be very courageous due to the fact that no one has even discovered the true distance of the Ocean to the west. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain agreed to fund his voyage because they believed that if a whole new sea route was to be discovered that landed in the Indies it would help Spain have the upper hand in the competition against Portugal.
Throughout Columbus's voyage, Columbus began treating the natives very badly. This includes: enslavement, slaughtering & genocide, r..a..pe, and even starvation. Though Ferdinand and Isabella ordered that the natives be treated with the utmost kindness, Columbus looked past this little order and instead neglected the native's cultural history and identity by causing destruction on thousands of Native American families and individuals. In 1495, in a large slave raid, Columbus and his men rounded up 1,500 Arawak men, women, and children, and put them in pens. They selected what they considered the best natives and loaded them onto ships back to Spain. Two hundred died en route. Disease and death was one consequence of Columbus's voyages. Pre-Columbian America had been isolated from many infections that had swept through Asia, Europe, and much of Africa. American Indians had been spared most of the diseases common to societies that raise livestock.
When he returned to Spain in 1504 after his last voyage, Columbus was fifty-three and in poor health. Inflammation of the eyes sometimes made it impossible for him to read and he suffered agonies from what was once diagnosed as gout or arthritis but is now suspected to have been something called Reiter's syndrome.

Write the approximate slope and y-intercept of the line of best fit. Show your work, including the points that you use to calculate the slope and y-intercept. (3 points)
Answer:
Part B
Explanation:
The answer for part A: If the city is hotter in temperature more people will want the cold refreshing lemonade.
Part B: The line of best fit is a line that will have the same amount of point on each side so you should draw a straight line and then make sure it has the same amount of point on each side. To calculate the slope use Y2-Y1/X2-X1, Y-intercept is the point that intercepts the Y-intercept.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: Because if it is hot outside you will sweat more being less hydrated which is why more people would want a drink especially lemonade.

Prince Siddhartha’s experiences with suffering transformed [transformed: to change in appearance or character] him. Suddenly, his royal life seemed empty. He wanted to find the happiness and peace that the ascetic had found.
Siddhartha decided to give up his old life and search for enlightenment [enlightenment: the state of gaining spiritual insight and finding universal truth; the goal of Buddhists] . Becoming enlightened would mean finding deep truth and freedom from suffering.
One night, the prince asked his driver to take him to the forest. At the edge of the dark woods, Siddhartha removed his royal robes, sandals, and jewels. He cut off his hair with a knife. He put on a simple robe and carried only a small bowl for alms [alms: goods or money given to the poor] ,or gifts of food. Wishing his driver farewell, Siddhartha began his life as an ascetic.
Siddhartha met other ascetics as he wandered the forests and fields. Like him, they wanted to understand the nature of the world. They believed that they could reach enlightenment through meditation. While meditating, the ascetics sat quietly and focused their minds on spiritual questions. Siddhartha quickly became an expert at meditation.
The ascetics also denied [denied: to hold back and refuse something] themselves many basic needs. For example, they stayed up all night without sleeping. They sat in the hot sun without shelter. They held their breath for several minutes. They also fasted, or stopped eating, for many days at a time. They hoped to find spiritual truth through self-denial.
Siddhartha continued to follow the way of the ascetics for some time. He became terribly thin from lack of food. According to Buddhist tradition, he became so thin that he could touch his stomach and feel his backbone. Eventually, he became unhappy with this extreme way of living. And he had not yet found the key to enlightenment.

how did China change after being conquered by the Mongol Empire? I NEED -A P 3 X -ANSWER!!!!!!!!
Answer:
Until about 20 years ago, most scholars of Mongol-era China emphasized the destructive influence of Mongol rule.
One major scholar of Chinese history even wrote: "The Mongols brought violence and destruction to all aspects of China's civilization. [They were] insensitive to Chinese cultural values, distrustful of Chinese influences, and inept heads of Chinese government." This assessment fits in with the traditional evaluation of the Mongols as barbarians interested primarily in maiming, plundering, destroying, and killing.
As a 13th-century Persian historian wrote of the Mongol campaigns: "With one stroke a world which billowed with fertility was laid desolate, and the regions thereof became a desert, and the greater part of the living, dead, and their skin and bones crumbling dust, and the mighty were humbled and immersed in the calamities of perdition."
It is true that the Mongols, in their conquest of both North and South China, did considerable damage to these territories, and that great loss of life certainly ensued. The population of North China did decline somewhat, though earlier estimates that there was a catastrophic decline in population have subsequently been revised.
This assessment fits in with the traditional evaluation of the Mongols, It is true that the Mongols, in their conquest of both North and South China, The population of North China did decline somewhat, though earlier estimates that there was The Mongols perceived China as just one section of their vast empire.
