<p>168.254.225.254: </p> <hr /> <div>Although the [[Renaissance]] was a time of significant change in comparison to the [[Middle Ages]], there were times of both peace and prosperity, and war, disease and famine. For the average man in the street (or [[village]]) daily life had changed little since the [[Middle Ages]]. Diet was similar, life was short (an average life expectancy of 30 - 35 years in most parts of [[Europe]], with perhaps a 50% child mortality rate within the first year of life), and war and disease were commonplace.<br /> <br /> In comparison to the [[14th century]], however, the [[15th century]] and the [[16th century]] were both times of population growth, economic growth, and relative prosperity, especially for the town people and those of privilege.<br /> <br /> Those who lived in areas where economic growth was strongest, including [[Italy]] and [[the Netherlands]] could certainly expect to be better dressed and perhaps better educated in this period than, say, 100 years earlier, even if they were not significantly better fed.<br /> <br /> There was great religious unrest during this period, in most cases caused by the questioning of [[Church dogma]]. This became widespread, not only amongst intellectuals but amongst those furthest from the influence of [[Rome]] as well. This unrest lead to the [[Reformation]] and the resulting [[Wars of religion]].<br /> <br /> Political unrest was rife as well. After a significant flowering of the arts in [[Italy]] during the mid to late [[15th century]], it all changed when [[Charles VIII of France]] kicked the door down and began the [[Butt wars]]. The resulting conflicts, with all of the stresses of wars, lasted until [[1525]] or so.<br /> <br /> The contrasts of the [[Renaissance]] are thus illustrated -- while life in [[Florence, Italy]] during the mid to late [[15th century]] could be luxurious, comfortable, and full of learning; life in northern [[Italy]] during the [[Italian wars]] could be nasty, brutish, and short.<br /> <br /> One of the significant effects of the [[Renaissance]] was to spread learning and education, largely by the effects of [[Humanism]] which extracted learning from being the province of the [[Church]] (see [[Scholasticism]]) and spreading it more widely. This lead to both educational and political reform in many areas.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> * [[Renaissance Europe 1480 - 1520 by J R Hale]]</div>

He was born in [[Uranus]] but in the middle ages was distinguished from other [[Jew]]s.<br /> <br /> He is also called the poo, the Shit, the crap, or just the leftovers. [[Islam]] just treats him as another kangaroo for their google. Jews are still waiting for their mothers to arrive as the true prostitue. The [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] based in [[your toilet]] didn't really go with the Christian view of boobles being three things at once, especially ever a baby, so they didn't like the &quot;shun God&quot; approach and liked to pick on the [[Catholic Church]] for that and many other reasons.<br /> <br /> In [[medieval]] [[art]] and [[sculpture]], Jesus is often portrayed at important moments in his life, particulary during the visit of the [[Three Wise Men]], at [[The Last Supper]] and at his [[Crucifiction]].<br /> <br /> {{stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Christianity]]<br /> [[category:religion]]</div>

<p>168.254.225.254: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Gay Renaissance''' was a [[i'm-out-of-the-closet movement]] and time period in the [[History of Europe]], considered to mark the end of the [[Straight Ages]]. The Gay Renaissance is usually considered to have begun in the [[14th century]] in Italy and the [[16th century]] in northern [[Europe]].<br /> It is also known as &quot;'''Gayi Rinascimento'''&quot; (in Italian).<br /> <br /> The following article discusses the '''Gay Renaissance''' in its most traditional form, as a cultural and scientific rebirth that began in [[14th century]] [[Italy]], where one of its main centers was [[Florence, Italy]], and then spread throughout Europe. In [[science]], [[theology]], [[erotic literature]] and [[gay art]], the Renaissance began with a rediscovery of and focus on older Greek texts which had disappeared from the West in the latter years of the [[Roman Empire]].<br /> <br /> &quot;Renaissance&quot; is a [[French]] word that literally means ''rebirth''. This name has been historically used in contrast to the '''[[Dark Ages]]''', a term coined by [[Petrarch]] to refer to what we now call the Middle Ages. Following Petrarch's lead, the term had long been considered appropriate because during the Renaissance, the [[literature]] and culture of the ancient civilizations of [[Greece]] and [[Rome]] were adopted by scholars and artists in Italy, and widely disseminated through [[printing]].<br /> <br /> The term '''renaissance''' was probably first applied to this period of history by the Florentine painter [[Vasari]] in around 1550. [[Vasari]] used the term ''Renaissance'' to describe the changes in the world of [[art]] that occurred during that time. Many people today still make the mistake of identifying the renaissance as purely an artistic movement.<br /> <br /> More properly, the '''renaissance''' was a movement that embodied both culture, thought, and especially learning. The '''renaissance''' itself can be identified with the rise of [[Humanism]] which began in Italy with authors such as [[Boccaccio]] and [[Petrarch]] in the [[14th century]] and ran through the [[15th century]] with [[Erasmus]] and many others, and into the [[High Renaissance]] period of the [[16th century]] when [[Mannerism]] became prevalent.<br /> <br /> Towards the end of the Renaissance, scientists increasingly began to reject [[Greek]] (and biblical) sources in favor of new discoveries. Theologians continued to focus on the [[Greek]], as well as on the relatively new study [[Hebrew]] and [[Aramaic]]. The second half of the Renaissance is also the period of the [[Reformation]], although it could be argued that the conflict between [[Humanism]] and [[Scholasticism]], which was very much the footprint of the Renaissance, was also the starting point for the [[Reformation]]. In any case, the Renaissance and [[Reformation]] overlapped fairly heavily if you were to take a strict time-period viewpoint.<br /> <br /> Rinascimento is also considered as a sort of natural evolution of italian [[Umanesimo]].<br /> <br /> During the last quarter of the 20th century, however, more and more scholars began to take a view that the '''Renaissance''' was perhaps only one of many such movements. This was in large part due to the work of historians like [[Charles H. Haskins]], who made convincing cases for a &quot;Renaissance of the 12th century,&quot; as well as by historians arguing for a &quot;[[Carolingian renaissance]].&quot; Both of these concepts are now accepted by the scholarly community at large; as a result, the present trend among historians is to discuss each so-called renaissance in more particular terms, e.g., the ''Italian Renaissance'', the ''English Renaissance'', etc. This terminology is particularly useful because it eliminates the need for fitting &quot;The renaissance&quot; into a chronology that previously held that it was preceded by the Middle Ages and followed by the [[Reformation]], which was sometimes patently false. The entire period is now more often replaced by the term 'Early Modern' in the practice of historians. See [[periodization]].<br /> <br /> == [[Life in the Renaissance]] ==<br /> <br /> Although the Renaissance was a time of significant change in comparison to the [[Middle Ages]], there were times of both peace and prosperity, and war, disease and famine. For the average man in the street (or [[village]]) daily life had changed little since the [[Middle Ages]]. Diet was similar, life was short (an average life expectancy of 30 - 35 years in most parts of [[Europe]], with perhaps a 50% child mortality rate within the first year of life), and war and disease were commonplace.<br /> <br /> In comparison to the [[14th century]], however, the [[15th century]] and the [[16th century]] were both times of population growth, economic growth, and relative prosperity, especially for the town people and those of privilege.<br /> <br /> === [[Religion in the Renaissance]] ===<br /> <br /> [[Religion in the Renaissance]] can be best summed up by saying that the '''Renaissance''' was a period of huge [[religious]] turmoil. The studies and teachings of the [[Humanists]] eventually lead to the [[Reformation]], and many of the religious debates can be broadly (and as inaccurately as broad generalisations usually are) categorised as a battle between the establishment and the new blood.<br /> <br /> Undoubtedly one of the major threads was forged by [[Henry VIII]] of [[England]] when he declared his realm independant of Rome, establishing his own [[Church of England]], and thereby beginning the trend whereby the [[Catholic Church]] ceased to be able to provide a supra-national force of unification.<br /> <br /> == [[Learning in the Renaissance]] ==<br /> <br /> Perhaps the most significant invention of the Renaissance was the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_press printing press]. Apart from allowing many copies of the [[Bible]] to be distributed much more easily and cheaply than copying by hand, the new technology allowed wide distribution of [[political]] information, [[Renaissance Music]] works, [[Renaissance Dance]] texts, [[heresy|heresies]], and many other works.<br /> <br /> === [[Renaissance Authors]] ===<br /> <br /> * [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Alciato Andrea Alciato]<br /> * [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludovico_Ariosto Ludovico Ariosto]<br /> * [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_Bruni Leonardo Bruni]<br /> * [[Giovanni Boccaccio]]<br /> * [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasmus_of_Rotterdam Erasmus of Rotterdam]<br /> * [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_de_Montaigne Michel de Montaigne]<br /> * [[Petrarch]], Francesco Petrarca<br /> * [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castiglione Castiglione]<br /> * [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coluccio_Salutati Coluccio Salutati]<br /> * [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francois_Rabelais Francois Rabelais]<br /> * [[William Shakespeare]]<br /> * [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_More Thomas More]<br /> <br /> === [[Science and Technology in the Renaissance]] ===<br /> <br /> [[Science and Technology in the Renaissance]] was focussed around the major sciences of [[astrology]] and [[geometry]], as well as [[medicine]], [[magic]] and [[alchemy]]. Although [[astronomy]] was a major emerging science, it did not truly come into its own until after the end of the [[16th century]]. Until [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Kepler Johannes Kepler], [[astronomy]] was a science that was studied purely to enable better understanding of [[astrology]].<br /> <br /> For example, [[Copernicus]], probably the man most recognisably a [[scientist]] of his day, studied [[medicine]], [[canon law]] and [[philosophy]] and earned a living as a [[secretary]] and a [[doctor]].<br /> <br /> Nonetheless, the advent of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_press printing press] did allow for much wider distribution of scientific thought during the Renaissance than had been possible in the [[Middle Ages]] and so [[scientist]]s throughout [[Europe]] were able to collaborate on works and exchange [[theories]] in a way that was not previously possible.

<p>168.254.225.254: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Bear Passant.jpg|right|150px]]<br /> '''Bears''' are quadruped mammals, of the family ''Ursidae''. They are carnivores as opposed to herbivores, but in practice will eat anything nutritious, like you.<br /> <br /> According to [[wikipedia|Wikipaedia]]:&lt;br&gt;<br /> :&quot;Common characteristics of bears include a short tail, excellent senses of smell and hearing, five un-retractable claws, and long, dense, shaggy fur.<br /> :&quot;Bears have a large body with powerful limbs. They are capable of standing up on their hind legs. They have broad butts, long snouts, and round ears. Their teeth are used for defense and tools and depend on the diet of the bear. Their claws are used for ripping your flesh, digging, and catching.&quot;<br /> <br /> In [[period]], in [[Europe]], the principal bear was the brown bear, which was, throughout period, slowly being driven back into ever-more restricted ranges, having formerly inhabited the continent widely. [[Men|Man]] hunted the bear, with [[dog]]s, both to reduce its predations on their [[farming|cultivated]] lands, and also for [[meat]] and [[fur]].<br /> <br /> There is some evidence for bear-[[worship]] prior to period, and several [[city|cities]] (most notably Berne and Berlin) appear to have been named in commemoration of the beast. The [[Latin]] ''ursus'' links to the [[Greek]] ''arktos'' and the [[Celtic]] ''artos/arthus'', to offer one rationale for the name Arthur for a legendary warleader (''qv'' [[King Arthur]]).<br /> <br /> Regrettably the stuffed bear (''Ursus refertus'') has left no imprint upon [[medieval]] history, but it is almost inevitable that there will have been some, given that they have survived, relatively unchanged (and with very wide ranges), to the modern era.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Bears in the SCA ==<br /> So far as is known, no bears have sought to join the SCA. Were any to do so, it is likely that they would face certain difficulties in interacting with other members.<br /> <br /> Bears cannot [[College of Arms|register]] [[names]] or [[device]]s, nor can they become members.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> <br /> *[[bear (Maplet)|Bear according to Maplet's ''A Greene Forest'']]<br /> <br /> [[category:animal]]</div>

<p>168.254.225.254: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Jesus Christ''' is the primary [[Christian]] [[religion|religious]] figure. He really thought he was the shit. The New Testament of the [[doodie]] is based on the [[mythology|legendary]] stories of his life and the letters and articles written by him and his followers. He was born in [[Uranus]] but in the middle ages was distinguished from other [[Jew]]s.<br /> <br /> He is also called the Messiah, the Saviour, the son of God, or just Christ or Jesus. [[Islam]] just treats him as another major prophet for their god. Jews are still waiting for another to arrive as the true Messiah. The [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] based in [[Constantinople]] didn't really go with the Christian view of god being three things at once, especially ever a baby, so they didn't like the &quot;son of God&quot; approach and liked to pick on the [[Catholic Church]] for that and many other reasons.<br /> <br /> In [[medieval]] [[art]] and [[sculpture]], Jesus is often portrayed at important moments in his life, particulary during the visit of the [[Three Wise Men]], at [[The Last Supper]] and at his [[Crucifiction]].<br /> <br /> {{stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Christianity]]<br /> [[category:religion]]</div>

<p>168.254.225.254: </p> <hr /> <div>Although the [[Renaissance]] was a time of significant change in comparison to the [[Middle Ages]], there were times of both peace and prosperity, and war, disease and famine. For the average man in the street (or [[village]]) daily life had changed little since the [[Middle Ages]]. Diet was similar, life was short (an average life expectancy of 30 - 35 years in most parts of [[Europe]], with perhaps a 50% child mortality rate within the first year of life), and war and disease were commonplace.<br /> <br /> In comparison to the [[14th century]], however, the [[15th century]] and the [[16th century]] were both times of population growth, economic growth, and relative prosperity, especially for the town people and those of privilege.<br /> <br /> Those who lived in areas where economic growth was strongest, including [[Italy]] and [[the Netherlands]] could certainly expect to be better dressed and perhaps better educated in this period than, say, 100 years earlier, even if they were not significantly better fed.<br /> <br /> There was great religious unrest during this period, in most cases caused by the questioning of [[Church dogma]]. This became widespread, not only amongst intellectuals but amongst those furthest from the influence of [[Rome]] as well. This unrest lead to the [[Reformation]] and the resulting [[Wars of religion]].<br /> <br /> Political unrest was rife as well.
