Ils sont en terminale ST2S et st venus de Narbonne pour visiter Bordeaux, sur le thème Science et patrimoine.
Avec eux, nous voyons dans le quartier St-Seurin comment l’urbanisme traduit une certaine vision de la société dans toutes ses composantes, ainsi que les préoccupations d’hygiène et de santé.
Vous avez des orientations précises dans votre projet de visite du quartier évoqué dans « l’évadé de Saint-Seurin »? Contactez-moi, on en parle!

Seems like a good day to make a quiche.
Got lots of eggs just now and it seems like a good idea to crack while the eggs are plentiful. Is that an aphorism/adage? Maybe not.

A quotation from Ambrose Bierce
ADAGE, n. A hoary-headed platitude that is kicked along the centuries until nothing is left of it but its clothes. A “saw” which has worn out its teeth on the human understanding.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
“Adage,” “Devil’s Dictionary” column, San Francisco Wasp (1881-03-05)More about this quote: wist.info/bierce-ambrose/81811…

#Religion #Economie : dépôt financier avant le voyage à récupérer lorsque le croisé/pèlerin arrive à Jerusalem. Preuve inscrite en bois à conserver durant le voyage : évite le pillage/vol sur le chemin
= #adage 'chèque en #bois' + travel cheque.
Si non réclamé par le propriétaire ayant effectué le dépôt en garantie -> devient propriété financière des Templiers.

ʻO kēia ka lā hānau o Mary Kawena Pukui!
Today is the birthday of Mary Kawena Pukui, b. April 20, 1895 #olelonoeau #maryKawenaPukui #adage #wiseSaying #hawaiianLanguage #olelo #OleloHawaiiExcerpt From
‘Ōlelo No‘eau

We all learn the word “kahakō” meaning “macron,” the bar over the long vowel (as in its own final letter). But it also means “steep, sheer” as in this ʻŌlelo Nōʻeau:
“1527 Ka pali kahakō lele a koa‘e.
Sheer cliff reached only by the tropic bird.
A tall, inaccessible cliff.”

In the Fall 2024 Audubon magazine is an interesting article about a bird researcher who’s cataloging and photographing specimens of Hawaiian birds which are in non-Hawaiian museums. The reference to an ʻōlelo noʻeau caught my eye. Interesting! #olelonoeau #maryKawenaPukui #adage #wiseSaying #hawaiianLanguage #olelo #OleloHawaii #audubon #extinction

I don’t remember the last time my inner brand strategist felt compelled to search:
👉🏼 [campaign] AdAge
to read the behind the scenes story and find out which agency made an ad
but when the Keenan Thompson / Marcello T-Mobile ad came on I picked up my phone to see who the agency was
but when they got to the red-light therapy mask joke I realized it had to be an *actual* SNL writer
(these ads should have agencies quaking in their fancy sneakers)

#HawaiianPublicRadio didn’t post today’s #hawaiianWordOfTheDay so instead of sharing that, I’ll share my new favorite ʻŌlelo Noʻeau!
I kāhi ‘e no ke kumu mokihana, paoa ‘e no ‘one‘i i ke ‘ala.
Although the mokihana tree is at a distance, its fragrance reaches here.
Although a person is far away, the tales of his good deeds come to us.#olelonoeau #maryKawenaPukui #adage #wiseSaying #hawaiianLanguage #olelo #OleloHawaii #reputation #mokihana #1177

Can’t figure how to remove myself from the #AdvertisingAge email lists. Here is the page of email newsletters for my account. I unsubscribed around a fortnight ago. Clicking ‘unsubscribe’ in the emails doesn’t seem to do anything, either. Surely it can’t be that hard to get this right? The tech for this has only been with us for about 30 years. #AdAge #Crain

I wonder how you unsubscribe to Advertising Age’s emails. Clicking ‘Unsubscribe’ does not unsubscribe you. Either that, or Crain’s measures time differently. I removed myself last week … #AdAge
