It was 10am on a cloudy Friday when Bobby was struck by inspiration.  It was a day like any other. Bobby was sitting on his bed, curled up in a ball and Afsane was nearby reading a new book.

Bobby was deep in thought. His eyes were closed but his mind was active. His little tail was wagging softly. Occasionally he got up, turned around and sat back down again. This was part of his creative process. 

Then Bobby’s eyes shot open. “Yes! That’s it! I’ll… I’ll…” Then he rested his head again on his paws.  “No… it’s gone.” 

Asfane turned her attention back to her book and turned the page. The book was called, How to Live with An Extraordinary Dog. She wanted to better understand Bobby’s gift.

“You’ve done so many projects,” said Afsane. “Why don’t you revisit an old idea and explore it from a different viewpoint?” 

All over Bobby’s room were his photographs. They were all in special frames. He had taken photos of almost everything: parks, sports, markets, transportation, roads—whatever Bobby saw, he snapped a photo. But he didn’t know what to do for his next photography project. 

Bobby needed to refresh his mind. He jumped off the bed and walked over to his food area. On the wall in front of his red drinking bowl was a picture of his previous drinking bowl, a blue one. 

“I’m looking for a special subject, Afsane,” said Bobby after drinking some water. “Something which speaks to my soul. Something which lifts my spirits.” 

Afsane shrugged her shoulders and put down her book. “That sounds very serious, Bobby. Why don’t you just take a photo of… oh, I don’t know, that.” 

Afsane pointed to the open window. 

Bobby felt curious, so he jumped up and looked out the window. He didn’t see much. He watched the traffic and the dark clouds. But then, something caught his eye. 

Bobby barked and howled! “That’s it! That’s it!”

“See, I told you. There’s nothing boring about windows,” said Afsane.

“No. There! Children!”

Latein – ja oder nein?

(A)  Lange Zeit war es in Deutschland ein UNVERZICHTBARER Teil der höheren Bildung: Latein. Vieles sprach dafür: Die Beschäftigung mit dieser alten Sprache zwang Schüler dazu, detaillierte Grammatik-Kenntnisse zu erwerben. 
(B)  Wer weitere Fremdsprachen lernen wollte, konnte IN DER REGEL auf dieser Basis aufbauen. Nicht nur Grammatik, auch ein Großteil des Vokabulars findet sich in modernen romanischen Sprachen wieder. Selbst für das Englische sind Lateinkenntnisse sehr nützlich. 
(C)  Und schließlich basiert im Deutschen fast das ganze Spektrum an Fremdwörtern auf der lateinischen Sprache. Anders ausgedrückt, wer Latein kann, hat kein Problem, sich auf einem hohen sprachlichen Niveau auszudrücken.
(D)  Und doch legen neue Studien nahe, dass man heutzutage besser Zeit und Mühe in das Lernen einer modernen Fremdsprache investieren sollte. In unserer globalisierten Welt kann man nicht früh genug damit beginnen, sich Sprachen anzueignen, in denen man konkret mit anderen Menschen kommunizieren kann. Wer dann noch Zeit und Lust und Energie hat, kann Latein ja jederzeit als Hobby betreiben.

こんにちは。

今日もお弁当作り。今日は私と息子の分です。
主人は出張だったので、お弁当はいらないと。
昨日の夕飯は漬けマグロに山芋のとろろを白いご飯にかけたどんぶりメニュー。副菜は茄子の煮ものと小松菜のお浸し。それから具沢山の味噌汁だったため、お弁当用には何も残らず。
というわけで、夜のうちに、鶏肉を塩こうじにつけて置き、そして、朝から片栗粉をまぶして、180度の油で揚げるという、面倒なことをしました。手間暇をかけて、愛情弁当を作る母です。
塩こうじは、家庭料理には欠かせない調味料のひとつです。塩こうじにつけると、肉も柔らかくなり、そしてしっかりと味がつきます。片栗粉をまぶして揚げると、竜田揚げのできあがりです。塩こうじは、醤油と酒の調味料の代わりに使用することが多いです。肉にも魚にも使うことができる便利な調味料です。
お弁当用のサラダは、昨日の夜のうちに用意。キャベツとにんじんを適当な大きさに切り、レンジで2分半温め、そこにツナ缶とマヨネーズとレモンをかけて和えました。あとは彩りでトマト。そしてほんの少しのデザートにシャインマスカットです。
ご飯はのり弁風にしています。のり弁は、鰹節醤油（かつおぶし醤油）を白いご飯で挟んで、その上にのりをのせます。通常はこの上に魚をのせたり、揚げ物をのせたりするんです。なので、私は塩こうじの竜田揚げをさらにのせました。これお弁当にするとおいしいんです。
あー、朝から頑張りました。
今日は、一応写真も撮りましたよ。感想聞かせてください。

One of the most charming features of the Italian language is its apparent clarity. Unlike English, Italian is often described as a phonetic language: words are usually pronounced exactly as they are written.
Yet even in this musical and “transparent” tongue, there are exceptions—letters that fade, soften, or vanish depending on dialect, speed, or etymology. These are Italy’s hidden sounds, traces of the language’s long evolution from Latin to modern speech.

Let’s uncover some of the most interesting cases.
