Michel de Montaigne est mon compas depuis que je l’ai découvert dans mes classes de français au Lycée Condorcet. Les réflexions et études introspectives qu’il décrit dans ses “Essais” résonnent indubitablement dans ma tête d’adolescent qui les absorbe comme une éponge sèche. Les observations et recommandations qu’il fonde sur ses expériences de voyage sont la base évidente de la direction que prendra ma vie. Il écrit : “Faire des voyages me semble un exercice profitable. L’esprit y a une activité continuelle pour remarquer les choses inconnues et nouvelles, et je ne connais pas de meilleure école pour former la vie que de mettre sans cesse devant nos yeux la diversité de tant d’autres vies, opinions et usages.” Les voyages qu’il décrit sont onéreux, risqués et prennent beaucoup de temps – des semaines, voire des mois. Ils lui permettent ainsi de “frotter et limer” son cerveau à celui des gens qu’il rencontre.

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Richard D. Tavano for the Master of Science in Speech Communication presented February 20, 1986. Title: Humor Creation and Appreciation as an Indicator of Inter- cultural Communication Effectiveness: Toward a Theoretical Model APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Dr. D~anet Bennett A review of the theoretical and empirical literature from the field of humor and from that of intercultural communication showed that no investigations dealt with the possibility that a sense of humor might serve as an indicator of intercultural communication effectiveness. This study was conducted in order to assess that possibility. This paper has set out to answer the following questions: What cognitive processes are common to a sense of humor and to inter- cultural communication effectiveness? What does one's ability to 2 create and appreciate humor say about that individual's potential for intercultural communication effectiveness? Through the review of the literature, specific connections were suggested as theoretical con­ necting points or parallels.

Although foreigners could own shares in it, they had no voting rights, and no individual could own more than thirty shares. Because seventy percent of the shares were owned by foreigners, paying dividends on the stock meant depleting America's already scarce specie reserves. Its policies further weakened specie circulation in favor of dollars, and systematically undermined the role of its state counterparts, thus provoking the ire of regionalists who ensured its demise in 1811. For ten points, identify this short-lived federal arbiter of monetary policy headed by Alexander Hamilton. Answer: First National Bank (or First Bank of the United States) 2. The months of Atlcaualo (ah-tl-cow-AH-lo) and Tozoztontli (toe-zoz-TONT-lee) were dedicated to him, and he was believed to cause diseases such as dropsy and leprosy.

After becoming interested in physical fitness, this romantic nihilist created his own small army, the Shield Society. His work often involves the paradoxical relationships between survival and death, beauty and violence, and yearning for love while rejecting it.

    FOXNews.com - Letterman Regular Calvert DeForest, aka Larry 'Bud' M…5 - Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment News | Arts And Entertainment 03/22/2007 05:51 PM Letterman Regular Calvert DeForest, aka Larry 'Bud' Melman, Dead at 85 Thursday , March 22, 2007 NEW YORK — ADVERTISEMENT Calvert DeForest, the white-haired, bespectacled nebbish who gained cult status as the oddball Larry "Bud" Melman on David Letterman's late night television shows, has died after a long illness. The Brooklyn-born DeForest, who was 85, died Monday at a hospital on Long Island, Letterman's "Late Show" announced Wednesday. He made dozens of appearances on Letterman's shows from 1982 through 2002, handling a variety of twisted duties: dueting with Sonny Bono on "I Got You, Babe," doing a Mary Tyler Moore impression during a visit to Minneapolis, handing out hot towels to arrivals at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. "Everyone always wondered if Calvert was an actor playing a character, but in reality he was just himself — a genuine, modest and nice man," Letterman said in a statement. "To our staff and to our viewers, he was a beloved and valued part of our show, and we will miss him." The gnomish DeForest was working as a file clerk at a drug rehabilitation center when show producers, who had seen him in a New York University student's film, came calling. He was the first face to greet viewers when Letterman's NBC show debuted on Feb. 1, 1982, offering a parody of the prologue to the Boris Karloff film "Frankenstein." "It was the greatest thing that had happened in my life," he once said of his first Letterman appearance.
