Abstract
The paper examines the Middle-English text of the 'Franklin's Tale' by Chaucer and concludes that it is derived from Breton Lai, a style most famously used in the popular fiction of Marie de France in the Twelfth Century. Over the two hundred year period between the work of Marie de France and Chaucer, literature naturally progressed and it attempts to show that the "Franklin's Tale" is a text that has developed from the characteristically refined and escapist genre of Breton Lai.

From the Paper
"Chaucer is true to Breton lai convention in that he sets the story in a vague, but chivalrous pre-Christian past. The open ended and somewhat psychological dilemma posed at the end of the romance cannot thus be solved by means of Christian intervention. Hypothetically, the fourteenth century church would have advised Dorigen that keeping her promise to Aurelius and thereby committing adultery would be a far greater sin than breaking her promise to him. Arveragus, however, believes that his wife should keep her promise, which again deviates from the traditional allegiance to the loyalty of the lover in Breton lai."

Abstract
This paper briefly addresses the similarities of the Breton, Cornish, and Welsh cultures in the areas of language and myths, particularly the dominance of the sea in these cultures' mythologies. They are all Celtic cultures, which makes it easier to draw parallels, particularly as regards linguistic similarities.

From the Paper
"One of the influences on the development of the artistic movement known as surrealism derived from the writings and thought of Sigmund Freud. Freud has a particular influence on Andre Breton, one of the leading theorists of the movement, and Salvador Dali, perhaps its best-known practitioner. Each man acknowledged the contribution of Freud and produced works citing Freud directly.
Surrealism was an artistic movement with a strong political component. It was the most highly organized and tightly controlled artistic movement in this century, and its moral and philosophical leader was Andre Breton, who held the unofficial title of the Pope of Surrealism. Surrealism was also a life-style and a philosophical outlook that informed artistic expression, political action, and social life."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the decline and subsequent rebuilding of the Canadian labor movement between 1920 and 1940. It discusses the Cape Breton coal miners, the origins of the Cooperative Commonwealth in Oshawa, Ontario and the extent to which the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) served the interests of the working people and the labor movement during this period.

From the Paper
"The labor class in Canada experienced many shifts in their political and social climate during the period 1920-1930 in that the labor class rode upon the high waves of victory through their alignment with workers unions that succeeded in bring out about gains to these individuals only to have those gains abruptly removed following World War II. However, the determination of workers unions to organize combined with the injustices experienced by Canadian labor following the war resulted in a final victorious achievement for Canadian laborers, which they were able to realize finally in the late 1930s."

Abstract
This paper compares the paintings "Bar at the Folies-Bergere" by Manet to Paul Gauguin's, "Vision after the Sermon." Specifically, the essay considers several points of comparison. These include the comparative positioning of the female form in both works; the odd gaze of Manet's barmaid relative to the engaged gaze of the Breton women in Gauguin's master-work; the strange behavior of the mirror in Manet's work.

From the Paper
"The following paper will compare Manet's, Bar at the Folies-Bergere and Paul Gauguin's, Vision after the Sermon. Specifically, the essay will look at the following things as points of comparison: the comparative positioning of the female form in both works; the odd gaze of Manet's barmaid relative to the engaged gaze (or reverential down-tilted heads) of the Breton women in Gauguin's master-work; the strange behaviour of the mirror in Manet's work and how the divisive branch (or tree trunk, it is hard to say which) of the Gauguin composition serves a somewhat comparable..."

Abstract
This is a reflective paper of the work of the Rev. Mr. John Wm. McKenzie and Dr. Sherwood Hall, Canadian Presbyterian missionaries, who joined a small north Korean congregation in 1893. The paper explains the history behind the work of both Roman Catholic and Protestant missionaries in this area of the world. The paper further looks at the history of the Rev. Mr. John Wm. McKenzie, a native of Cape Breton, who followed in the reputation of the Scottish Dr. John Ross. Though he died within two years of reaching Korea his hard work is much remembered.

From the Paper
"The saga of North American medical and other Protestant missionaries and missions in Korea is a lasting element of Korea's modern history. Through much of the 19th century, the Korean field featured divisions between Roman Catholic and Protestant missionaries, the latter attached to several Canadian and American denominations. Medical and educational missionary work filled important needs in a society struggling with immense class gaps, much poverty, and after 1910-11, the results of the Japanese annexation of the Korean Peninsula."

Abstract
Surrealism, a movement that was transformed from a literary to an artistic one, investigated the direct exposition of the incognizant divulged by rational notions. This paper defines what surrealism meant to the artists from the 1920s and 30s. It also identifies many surrealist artists, including Andre Breton, Yves Tanguy, Paul Magritte, Salvador Dali, and how they contributed to the surrealism movement.

From the Paper
"Yves Tanguy, a painter, played a vital role in spreading the concept of Surrealism. He became influenced by Surrealism in 1924, after seeing the periodical La Revolution surrealist. Tanguy was greatly motivated to make art that depicted his inner world of dreams and the sub-conscious mind. The style in which Tanguy painted his paintings is referred to as Surrealism. Tanguy, like any other Surrealist believed that images and encounters in dreams could be used as an inducement for art. As a result, dreams, fantasy, and the element of chance played a significant part in his profession."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the surrealist movement, explaining that it was, at the same time, a poetic, philosophical and political movement and that the advent and development of photography as an art form had a great impact on surrealism. The paper describes and analyzes some of the works of early surrealists, including Man Ray and Andre' Breton.

From the Paper
"In a 1913 issue of Alfred Stieglitz's Camera Work, de Zayas criticized the medium of photography for being a "concrete representation of consummated facts," which "drew away the veil of mystery with which Art enveloped the represented Form." [Perpetual, p. 16] Yet the budding surrealist movement was beginning to embrace photography as a novel mechanism for the expression of its ideals. Photography allowed for a randomness that was central to surrealist practice. The innovations in photographic and developing techniques - especially those of Man Ray - gave surrealists a larger forum to explore their ideas of unstable reality, dream-like states and bizarre juxtapositions of everyday images."

Abstract
This paper looks at the public health dissemination model towards community exploration, needs assessment and information provision and inducing interest and voluntarism. It refers to small regional projects, NB Cape Breton, where attitudinal change is required ahead of large urban centres. Reference is also made to specialized outreach and information as in sub-Saharan African countries. It also discusses how overall, much time should be given to assessing target audience, culturally and to providing careful health promotion/AIDS prevention material, in ways that cultivate ongoing interest.

From the Paper
"Health Behaviour Change is now a usual model in approaching public health initiatives in North America. The PRECEDE-PROCEDE planning model seems suitable in its careful attention to assessing an environment and target audience well. (Gielen & McDonald: 2002) This paper introduces approaches to non-urban communities where AIDS remains a topic not discussed, or with many persons lacking a broad and accurate view of the pandemic. The public tends to become alarmed about AIDS as an incurable condition that is sexually transmitted. Myths still circulate as to how HIV is spread and its implications."
