...Jean-François Champollion (Champollion le jeune; 23 December 1790 – 4 March 1832) was a French scholar, philologist and orientalist, known primarily as the decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphs and a founding figure in the field of Egyptology. A child prodigy in philology, he gave his first public paper on the decipherment of Demotic in 1806, and already as a young man held many posts of honor in scientific circles, and spoke Coptic and Arabic fluently. During the early 19th-century French culture experienced a period of 'Egyptomania', brought on by Napoleon's discoveries in Egypt during his campaign there (1798–1801) which also brought to light the trilingual Rosetta Stone. Scholars debated the age of Egyptian civilization and the function and nature of hieroglyphic script, which language if any it recorded, and the degree to which the signs were phonetic (representing speech sounds) or ideographic (recording semantic concepts directly). Many thought that the script was only used for sacred and ritual functions, and that as such it was unlikely to be decipherable since it was tied to esoteric and philosophical ideas, and did not record historical information. The significance of Champollion's decipherment was that he showed these assumptions to be wrong, and made it possible to begin to retrieve many kinds of information recorded by the ancient Egyptians....

...in a script. A unit is the building block of conflict, and conflict is essential in drama. Scoring a script helps actors to clarify motivations, organize dramatic structure, and get specific with the nuances of the characters and the story. If scene partners score a script together, it can help get everyone on the same page. It is a tool to help actors focus their performances. There are many ways to score a script. Most modern American acting courses use a method that breaks scripts into "beats and units" and describes a character's arc in terms of "objectives, tactics and...

...Appendix 13 Teaching materials A13.1 Exercise Multicultural class Look at the person seated next to you in class, or anyone with whom you have frequent interaction. Then select somebody originating from a foreign culture. List three examples of non-verbal communication that she or he uses, describe them accurately and decode their meaning. Now ask this person to look at you and do the same. Then work together and compare both interpretations and try to understand why meaning was shared or, possibly, not shared. (This exercise can be implemented only with a good degree of cultural diversity within the student group.) A13.2 Exercise I ‘love’ cake Start from the English verb ‘to like’ and find its equivalents in French, German and Spanish. Do not hesitate to translate them back into English in order to detect differences in meaning. Include in your search some basic etymological grounds (e.g. gusto in Spanish is based on the word for ‘taste’). What differences in terms of world-views are suggested by the different conceptual dimensions of ‘liking’ (preference, affective, pleasure, love, enjoyment, eating/ingesting, etc.) and their attributions to people, things or situations? Suggest possible consequences for international marketing and advertising strategies. A13.3 Case Longcloud – Languages in cyberspace Language is a steed that carries one into a far country.

...Tuareg Rebellion Script for Narration By Nicholas Munce • Picture 1: The Tuareg rebellion is occurring within the circled area. • Picture 2: This is a detailed map of the area. The Tuareg rebels are trying to take the northern part of Mali and turn it into their homeland, Azawad. • Picture 3: The Tuareg rebels acquired many of their current weapons by smuggling them out of Libya after the Libyan civil war. Some of the smuggled weaponry includes rocket-propelled grenades, machine guns, explosives, and antiaircraft artillery mounted on vehicles. The issue, besides the illegal smuggling, is that some of these weapons are considered high-powered and are capable of killing a significant amount of people. • Picture 4: One of the most prominent issues with the rebellion is that Tuareg teens...

...The Rosetta Stone was found on July 19, 1799 by French soldiers. The Rosetta Stone was broken, long before it was found in 1799. The Egyptian name it has now, it was found in Rashid. This block of stone lay a clue to breaking a code that baffled scholars for centuries, the Egyptian hieroglyphs. The stone features a decree issued in 196 B.C. by a group of Egyptian clergy and Egypt’s ruler, Ptolemy V, attesting to his generosity and devoutness. It was originally displayed in a temple, possibly near the ancient town of Sais, the centuries later, it had moved to Rosetta and used in the construction of Fort Julien, where it was eventually uncovered by the French. The use of hieroglyphics died out after the 4th century and the writing system became an enigma to scholars. British scientist Thomas Young, who began studying the Rosetta Stone’s texts in 1814, made some initial progress in analyzing its hieroglyphic inscription. Young surmised that the cartouches------ hieroglyphs enclosed in ovals----- contained the phonetic spellings of royal names, including Ptolemy, who was...

For technical reasons, "G#" redirects here. For G-sharp, see G♯ (disambiguation). G (named gee /ˈdʒiː/)[1] is the seventh letter in the ISO basic Latin alphabet. History Use In English, the letter appears either alone or in some digraphs. Alone, it represents a voiced velar plosive (/ɡ/ or "hard G"), as ingoose, gargoyle and gamea voiced palato-alveolar affricate (/dʒ/ or "soft G"), generally before 'i' or 'e', as in giant,ginger and geology ora voiced palato-alveolar sibilant (/ʒ/) in some words of French origin, such as rouge,beige and genre In words of Romance origin, 'g' is mainly soft before 'e' (including the digraphs ae and oe), 'i', and 'y' and hard otherwise. There are many English words of non-Romance origin where 'g' is hard though followed by 'e' or 'i' (e.g. get,gift), and a few in which 'g' is soft though followed by 'a' such as gaol, margarine, and an alternative pronunciation of vegan. The digraph 'dg' represents a voiced palato-alveolar affricate (/dʒ/) as in bridge or judge The digraph 'ng' represents either a velar nasal (/ŋ/) as in length and singa consonant cluster of the latter with the hard G (/ŋɡ/) as in jungle and fingera consonant cluster of /ndʒ/, as in spongeor binge The digraph 'gh' (which mostly came about when the letter yogh, which took various values...

...Plot Having stolen some compromising documents from a powerful and successful entrepreneur/gangster at a party, a man known as Fred (Lambert) escapes from the police and takes refuge in the underground world of the Paris Métro. There he integrates with the dwellers and befriends several colourful characters, some of which are living under the subway to avoid police arrest like him. While the gangster's henchmen look for his trail, Fred develops a romance with the gangster's young trophy wife Héléna (Adjani),who had invited Fred to the spoiled party, and is bored with her gilded-caged life. Fred forms a pop band with some of his friends, like "The Drummer" (Reno) and Enrico The Bass Player (Serra), who compose the songs. While he is working on his project, Héléna's powerful husband pressures the police to find Fred. One of Fred's sidekicks, The Rollerskater, who had been targeted by the police from a long time, is captured by Commissioner Gesberg (Galabru). Another one, The Florist, robs a train carrying money alongside Fred, and then escapes. At a performance in the subway with the newly formed band -which was possible because Fred paid off the actual performers of an announced concert, with money from the train robbery, and put his band in their place- Fred is searched by the police and a henchman of Héléna's husband. The henchman shoots Fred just when Héléna was about to reach and warn him of the approaching danger. The film ends with Héléna kneeling beside Fred, who is...

... 1. A researcher studied the effects of 3 experimental diets with varying fat contents on the total lipid (fat) content in plasma. Total lipid level is a widely used predictor of coronary heart disease. 15 male subjects who were within 20% of their ideal body weight were put into 5 groups of 3 according to age. Within each age group the 3 experimental diets were randomly assigned to the 3 subjects. The reductions in lipid level after the subjects were on the diet for a fixed period of time were recorded as follows. Fat Content of Diet 15-24 25-34 Age 35-44 45-54 55-64 1 Extremely Low 0.73 0.86 0.94 1.40 1.62 2 Fairly Low 0.67 0.75 0.81 1.32 1.41 3 Moderately Low 0.15 0.21 0.26 0.75 0.78 a) What was the blocking variable? Why do you think this blocking variable was used? b) Give the model for the experiment. What is the additional major assumption that is needed here? How could you do a very rough check of whether it was violated? c) Given that SSTO = 2.75856 set up the ANOVA table and test whether the mean reduction in lipid level differs for the 3 diets.

...Peignot, of the Paris foundry Deberny Et Peignot, recruited Frutiger based upon the quality of the illustrated essay Schrift / Écriture / Lettering: the development of European letter types carved in wood. Frutiger's wood-engraved illustrations of the essay demonstrated his skill, meticulousness, and knowledge of letterforms. At Deberny & Peignot foundry, Frutiger designed the typefaces "Président", "Méridien", and "Ondine". In the event, Charles Peignot set Frutiger to work upon converting extant typefaces for the new phototypesetting Linotype equipment. Adrian Frutiger's first commercial typeface was Président — a set of titling capital letters with small, bracketed serifs, released in 1954. A calligraphic, informal, script face, Ondine ("wave" in French), also was released in 1954. In 1955, Méridien, a glyphic, old-style, serif text face was released. The typeface shows inspiration by Nicholas Jenson, and, in the Méridien type, Frutiger's ideas of letter construction, unity, and organic form, are first expressed together. In 1956, he designed his first-of-three, slab-serif typefaces — Egyptienne, on the Clarendon model; after Univers, it was the second, new text face to be commissioned...
