Above is how the stone is shown displaying by language.
The
Rosetta Stone was the original key to the decipherment of hieroglyphics. It was a damaged stone (much of the top is missing), found by Napoleon's invading army, at Rosetta (apparently French for Rashid) in northern Egypt, in 1799. It was captured by the British while still in Egypt, and is now in the British Museum. It is a stela (or stele, a stone with writing carved on it) with the same message (a decree from Ptolemy V) repeated three times, in hieroglyphics (Late Egyptian), in Demotic (another version of Egyptian), and in Greek. The first 26 or so lines are missing from the hieroglyphic part. The Rosetta Stone enabled Champollion and others to finally make progress deciphering hieroglyphics. Here are all 14 lines, as best I can do from examining photographs (with a few question marks for signs that couldn't be figure out):

Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionary

What is the Rosetta Stone?

Hieroglyphics

N-original
N - Later

Combine the two above from thirteenth century B.C. inscription in the temple of Ramses II at Thebes. The pictures say, "Aset, great female, mother of the god, mistress of heaven. and you get it from this:

How to Read Hieroglyphics

First of all, there are hardly any written vowels. Just like Arabic, which is what we use in modern Egypt, most of the words are written using consonants only. That's why you'll find that ancient Egyptian words and names written using the English alphabet vary in spelling. For example Rameses and Ramsis, Amun and Amen, etc...
It's the same with Arabic now, I can spell my name in English in 3 different ways and still not get the sound right!
Now to make things more confusing (just for the fun of it!) - hieroglyphics can be read from left to right, right to left, and from top to bottom; the most common being from left to right.
Hieroglyphs

But there's a trick to it though, and I think it's quite smart: you just have to see which direction the sign is facing.
This wouldn't work with the water sign for example, so you can check out which way the animal or person signs are looking. So basically if the snake is looking to the right you read from right to left, and vice versa.
Any hieroglyphs inside a cartouche represent a king or pharaoh.
Determinative signs don't have a sound specific to them - they only represent the meaning of the word before them. There are male and female determinative signs that will let you know the gender of the person whose name is written.
Although this script has been dead for many centuries, it's still magical and beautiful. It's the key that unlocked the mystery of ancient Egypt and tells us of so many amazing stories past.
You can get yourself a cartouche with your name written inside in hieroglyphs as a necklace pendant

Enjoy this as I have. More to come.

27 uses for Baking Soda Pwoder

here are many non-poisonous products that can be used for basic household cleaning. Next to vinegar, the most useful of these is baking soda.
Like vinegar, baking soda has three major things going for it as a cleanser:

It's non-toxic. Sure, eaten in large amounts it might make you feel unpleasant, but it's not poisonous.
It's multi-purpose. The suggestions in this article are only a few of the many ways that baking soda can be used as a household cleanser.
Best of all, it's CHEAP! The cost of baking soda (especially when purchased in several pound large boxes) is far less than that of any other, specialized cleaning agent.

Baking soda (or bicarbonate of soda, as it is also known) is a naturally occurring material, present in most organic life forms. It can be "made" from sodium carbonate, or soda ash. The soda ash is dissolved in a carbon dioxide rich solution, and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) precipitates out.

As its name suggests, baking soda can be used for cooking. It can also be used medicinally, and, as we will discuss in this article, for cleaning.

In the kitchen
The kitchen is the most likely place to find baking soda. Don't stop with using it for baking, though!
1. A box or small bowl of baking soda in the refrigerator, freezer, or any cupboard will keep away unpleasant odors.
2. Similarly, baking soda will keep away garbage odors; sprinkle the bottom of the pail, and then sprinkle again after you put a new bag in.
3. Grease fires can be put out by sprinkling them with baking soda.
4. To clean surfaces, sprinkle baking soda on a damp cloth. Wipe, then rinse with clean water.
5. To remove stale smells from food containers, rinse out with hot water and baking soda. If the smell persists, let the container soak overnight in the baking soda and water mixture.
6. To clean silver, use a paste of 3 parts baking soda to one part water. Rub the paste onto each item, then rinse with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
7. To remove scuff marks or grease spills from the floor, sprinkle with baking soda and then wipe with a warm, damp cloth. This is even safe for no-wax floors!
8. For burnt-on food in the bottom of pots, sprinkle with baking soda, then add hot water. Let soak overnight; the dried on food will come loose much more easily.

In the Bathroom

9.To remove stubborn stains from most surfaces, use a baking soda paste (3 parts baking soda, one part water). Apply, let stand, then scrub or wipe clean.
10. Hairbrushes and combs can be cleaned in a baking soda solution.
11. To avoid clogged drains, pour 1/4 cup baking soda down weekly. Rinse through with hot water.
All Around the House

12. To remove scents from a carpet, sprinkle with baking soda. Let stand for at least fifteen minutes, then vacuum. Repeat as needed.
13. If there is a smoker in the house, put baking soda in the bottom of each ashtray to keep away some of the stale smoke smell.
14. Baking soda in the litterbox will help prevent odors.
15. To quickly clean pets and remove "wet dog" odor, sprinkle with baking soda and brush out their fur.
16. To help remove spills, blot as much as possible. Then clean as you normally would. When finished, sprinkle with baking soda. Vacuum. This will decrease the chance that some of the spilled item will remain in the carpet and cause unpleasant odors later.
17. Children's toys can be cleaned using 1/4 cup baking soda in 1 quart warm water. Submerge in this mixture (or wipe with a cloth dampened in it), then rinse with clear water.

In the Laundry

18. Replace half of each measure of laundry detergent with baking soda to keep clothing fresh.
19. To remove grease stains, either add baking soda to the wash load or pretreat the stains with a baking soda paste.
20. Pretreat diapers in their pail with baking soda. This will keep odors from becoming overpowering between washings.
21. Baking soda increases the effectiveness of chlorine bleach. Add 1 / 2 cup to your laundry, along with the usual amount of bleach.
22. If you keep a laundry hamper, add some baking soda every day to keep the hamper from smelling between emptyings.

Outside the House (Yard and Garage)
23. Baking soda can be used to help clean up grease spills.
24. To remove burnt food from the grill, sprinkle with baking soda, then soak. After several hours, the charred pieces will come loose easily.
25. Lawn furniture can be easily cleaned with a rinse of 1/4 cup baking soda in 1 quart warm water.
26. The children's pool can be cleaned and have mildew removed by washing with baking soda in warm water.
27. Before packing away your camping gear after a trip, sprinkle with baking soda.
If you really get into using baking soda for cleaning, consider buying it in bulk; see if you can join a co-op or if your local natural foods or bulk store can order it for you. After all, it doesn't spoil, and the uses for baking soda are nearly endless!

Gerber Heritage

Nestlé and Gerber have long, rich histories of supporting the healthy growth and development of infants and toddlers.

In 1867 a pharmacist named Henri Nestlé was asked to look in on a neighbor’s child who couldn’t breastfeed. The baby thrived on the special mixture Henri created. Soon Nestlé’s innovation—the world’s first infant food—was being sold throughout Europe, and the first infant food company, Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé, was launched.
Gerber Products Company also began with attention to one baby. Following the advice of their pediatrician in the summer of 1927, Daniel and Dorothy Gerber started straining solid foods in their kitchen for their 7-month-old daughter Sally. Eventually, Daniel and Dorothy decided to strain fruits and vegetables at their canning business, based in Fremont, Michigan. Workers in the plant requested samples for their own babies, and the legacy of GERBER® baby foods began.

Committed to healthy babies from the beginning

Our company timeline shows our innovation in nutrition, safety, quality, and health, and illustrates our commitment to providing the best products for your child:

Gerber Timeline

2009

Releases the findings from the Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study (FITS) 2008, a follow-up study from FITS 2002. FITS 2008 evaluated the eating patterns and nutrient intakes of 3,378 children—from newborns to 4-year-olds.

Getting Some Answers

Nestlé and Gerber have committed to improving baby and child nutrition through innovation, backed by solid research. One of the most notable efforts was the Gerber-sponsored Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study (FITS) conducted in 2002. This dietary survey of approximately 3,000 infants and toddlers 4 to 24 months old—the first undertaking of its size—significantly increased the knowledge and understanding of how young children were really eating.
The results of the FITS study brought to light some key issues—notably that many toddlers failed to get adequate amounts of several important nutrients, including vitamin E, calcium, iron, potassium, and dietary fiber. In addition, it revealed that many toddlers weren’t eating a single fruit or vegetable serving on a given day.
Nestlé conducted a follow-up FITS study in 2008 of 3,378 children, expanding the age range for infants and toddlers from birth to 48 months. Compared with 2002, the 2008 study showed that infants are being breastfed longer and fewer children are consuming sweets and sweetened beverages on a given day. However, there’s still room for improvement in the diets of many toddlers and preschoolers. Many of their diets contain too much saturated fat and sodium, and need more fruit, vegetables, and healthy fats. Learn more about the results of the latest study.

Start Healthy, Stay Healthy™ Origins

With the research from the 2002 FITS study, Gerber developed a program to help children start and stay healthy. When Gerber joined the Nestlé family in 2007, the Start Healthy, Stay Healthy Nutrition System was created to take advantage of the combined research, knowledge, and expertise of both companies. The Start Healthy, Stay Healthy Nutrition System is an innovative approach which helps you choose the right nutrition for your child based on his stage of development. Only Gerber offers a unique stage-based system with products, and feeding and nutrition guidance to support healthy growth and development and encourage healthy eating for your child from birth to 4 years.

Bed Bugs

Defiance: Remember when "sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite" was just a cute bedtime expression that didn't mean anything? Well, those days are over. After 6 decades of living largely bed bug-free, the US is facing a national infestation.

Bed bugs are shutting down businesses and being found at your local movie theaters and clothing stores as they inch closer and closer to your home..

Things that go Bite in the night...

Bed bugs are tiny insects that rely on the blood of humans or animals to survive. As babies, they are tiny as pinheads. A full-grown adult that's been making a nightly meal of you can balloon to the size of Lincoln's head on the penny. These little parasites are nocturnal and hate light, so they wait until the dark to creep out for their meals, which is why it can take so long to discover you've been sharing your home with them.

Keep Bed Bugs OUT of your home

History of Forced Tattoo

The history of forced tattooing is ancient, and it may be almost as old as the history of tattooing itself. Fortunately, forced tattooing has always been and continues to be very rare, except in certain subcultures. For people who have suffered forced tattooing, the experience can be extremely traumatic, but it can also be a starting point for discussions of atrocities and the underworld, and some victims of forced tattoos have spoken out about their experiences and welcome questions and discussion.
The oldest example of forced tattooing is debatable, but it is probably the use of tattooing in tribal initiation ceremonies. Many tribes around the world have a history of tattooing as part of their cultural and religious beliefs, and such tattooing often takes place during initiation into adulthood. In these situations, the initiate cannot actively choose to get tattoos, and he or she may be pressured into it out of fear of rejection or mockery. However, this is not the case with most native tribal tattoos; many people wear their tattoos with pride, and they enjoy being part of the living history of their people.

Another of the most ancient uses of forced tattooing is in the identification of criminals. The Romans, for example, marked repeat offenders with tattoos to make them easy to identify, and this practice was also adopted in some other regions of Europe. In Japan, criminals were tattooed on their foreheads in the 17th century, ensuring that they could never conceal the marks. Most forced tattooing of criminals consisted of a distinctive mark which identified someone as a criminal, but didn't necessarily indicate the crime.
Because of the link between tattoos and criminality in some cultures, criminals in various regions of the world practice forced tattooing on each other to mark themselves. In both Russia and Japan, for example, members of gangs may be tattooed after significant life events, and they may not be offered the freedom of choice. Forced tattooing is also sometimes used in gang initiations, especially in North America, with members of the gang marking initiates very distinctively, ensuring that they will find it difficult to leave the gang life.
European explorers in the South Pacific sometimes returned with stories about being kidnapped and tattooed by the Polynesians, although research suggests that sailors simply told these stories to attract attention, and to explain the body art they returned with. Such stories ensured that sailors would be welcomed into high-class salons and events, with sailors literally paying for their entrance with their stories and by allowing curious people to inspect their tattoos.
One of the most infamous examples in the history of forced tattooing is from the Holocaust, when people were tattooed upon entering concentration camps, work camps, and death camps. These tattoos consisted of identification numbers which were used to track people. Especially for members of the Jewish faith, these tattoos were extremely traumatic, because Jewish law forbids tattoos; fortunately, rabbinical judgments have determined that forced tattoos or tattoos which are needed for medical reasons do not violate Jewish law. After the Holocaust, some survivors attempted to conceal or remove their tattoos, while others have chosen to leave their tattoos visible to remind people of the events of the Holocaust.
Some members of the tattoo community also refer to a concept which they call “rape by tattoo,” a situation in which a tattoo is used like a weapon. This can take the form of a forced tattoo, but it may also involve tattooing someone's name or artwork without consent. While it may seem a bit odd to think of being traumatized by having your name tattooed onto someone else, this can be a very emotionally charged act which can make the victim feel as though he or she has lost a part of the soul.

The History of Geisha

First geisha appeared in the early 1600s. After 8 centuries of fighting among the warrior lords, the country was united under a military dictator, or shogun. Tokugawa Ieyasu quelled the internal warfare, unified most of the country, and in 1603 became shogun, establishing his government in Edo (now Tokyo). This Edo-based shogunate lasted some 265 years and is called the Edo period. Under shogun rule, Japan isolated itself entirely from the rest of the world. During that time, prostitution was controlled. Special “pleasure quarters” were set up. The pleasure quarters became the places of sexual freedom. Exclusive prostitutes or courtesans would entertain samurai warriors. It was there where the first geisha appeared. These geisha were men. They also were called jesters (hokan) or drum bearers (taiko-mochi), and they were there to make the guests laugh. In 1751, some customers in a Shimabara brothel were surprised when a female drum bearer came to their party. She was referred to as geiko, the term still used in Kyoto instead of geisha. By 1780 female geisha outnumbered the men; by 1800, a geisha was a woman.
Even after the novelty wore off, female geisha remained in high demand. By the 1750s, the licensed quarters had already been in existence for 150 years, and yujo (the prostitutes) were not as skilled in the arts as they had once been. In fact, the entertainment of the pleasure quarters had probably gone a little stale. The new female geisha took the quarters by storm. They sang popular songs; they were fun to talk to. And although in the official hierarchy of the licensed quarters, geisha stood near the bottom, customers preferred the fresh-faced geisha with her shamisen to a high-ranked yujo.

The geisha in the licensed quarters were forbidden to sleep with the yujo’s customers. In 1779 geisha were recognized as practicing a distinct profession, and a registry office (kenban) was set up to provide and enforce rules of conduct for them. Geisha were not to wear flamboyant kimono, or combs and jeweled pins in their hair. Arthur Golden further explains:A traditional image of a geisha in the West is often confused with what was a prostitute from the 1800s. The look of a prostitute and the geisha is very distinct. Geisha tie their obi tied in the back. A prostitute, on the other hand, wear her obi tied in the front: she is taking her kimono on and off all night; she can’t have a dresser come in, so she ties it in front herself. Also, the image of lots of hair ornaments — it is also of the prostitutes. Geisha wear much simpler ones. (The Secret)
Under these regulations, geisha completely separatedfrom the prostitutes. Geisha prospered. The simplicity of their appearance became highly popular. They spread over the country while Japan continued to shut itself out from the rest of the world.
World War II also had great influence on the image of geisha. Japan proclaimed war against the United States. The Japanese were sure they would win because the emperor’s power was divine. After the United States bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan surrendered. The country had been devastated. The United States Army headed by Gener al McArthur came to Japan. Already a year and a half before the surrender, the war was having its effect on the geisha districts. The expensive restaurants at which they entertained were required to close at eleven, and geisha to cease entertainment at ten. Sayuri recalls the times of Depression during World War II:
Our okiya had been stripped off the things other families had lost long ago, such as stores of food, undergarments, and so forth. … The neighborhood association began confiscating many of our ceramics and scrolls to sell them on what we called the “gray market,” which was different from the black market. … It was mainly housewives selling off their precious things to raise cash.

The geisha districts were required to close down completely on March 5, 1944. Since the geisha houses were closed, the Americans looked for fun elsewhere:Even as the Meiji government had essayed to provide ladies of pleasure for early foreign visitors and residents, so the Japanese government thought to do it for the Occupation forces. Soon after the surrender there was a poster in Ginza inviting young ladies to join a “recreation and amusement association” for the entertainment of the Americans. It had a few gatherings in the basement of a Ginza department store, but soon became a cabaret for Japanese. The government early indicated a willingness to set aside a generous number of pleasure quarters for the exclusive use of the Occupation.
The American troops found pleasure with the streetgirls. They called them geisha (wrongly pronounced “geesha”). The new “geisha” had neither the accomplishments nor the brains of the real ones. However, Americans used the term geisha because it was easy and convenient. Japan lost the war, and the geisha their reputation.

Tweak up clichés, anecdotes and idioms
Be weird and all out by jotting down all-what comes-to-mind on a paper or MS Word. Some minutes later, take a look to see, what stands out. This works to get terrific creative writing story starters

Don’t go crazy if you cannot put down a complete sentence. Jot down words randomly, as they come and then play around with synonyms feature of MS Word

Creative Writing Story Starters: IDEAS

Ideas for creative writing story starters are here, there and everywhere. You only have to align your creative thinking to grab at the wandering straws.
Try out the following…

Grab a novel or book that is close to your plot and leaf through to hijack inspiration

Procrastinate
Watch a movie closer to the theme that is bugging you
Take a walk
Explore surroundings
Procrastinate

Getting Inspiration for Creative Writing Story Starters

In case you do not know what you have to write about, but just want to write something, then the best advice is to get inspired first. Inspiration can always come as a surprise package.

They can inspire us, move us, motivate us, touch us, and so much more; all the core ingredients that go into a writer’s work. Be sure to watch movies, even re-watch them, so that you pump in food for the brain that you can convert into your own words and pour out on paper in your able fashion
Read: if movies are not your cup of tea, perhaps books are. Gain inspiration from other writer’s work; it ought to help
Get it out; flush out the clog: in this modern age, don’t just count on the phone or live interactions in order to talk to someone. What I have seen working for many other writers are things such as chat channels. They simply log on to the web and start talking to random others. By doing this they are able to vent out whatever thought is holding back their writing abilities and also lets them become acquainted with another person. And if this is not the path you want to go down, start writing; even if it is just some random thoughts that hit your brain waves. You never know where the inspiration can come from and reignite the fire within
Draw: by this point I do not mean you need to be as good as Picasso or Leonardo da Vinci. Everyone can draw to a certain extent; some much better than others. Just sketch out anything; even doodle if you have to. Sometimes words can be expressed through a portrait, a pattern, a painting, or even a doodle. You know how the saying goes, “A picture says a thousand words”. So doodle if you have to in order to get those thousand words gushing out of the pen in your hand and splashing ink across full pages
Food for the soul: Yes, if you have not already guessed so, I AM talking about music here. Music inspires us to write our original lyrics & poetry on many occasions. Simply getting started by inking down a simple poem can refuel the imagination engine instilled within our heads and lead us to writing longer passages filling page after page, line by line.

So my dear reader friends try your level best to implement these best 5 tips to squish the writer’s block and get your groove on. You were a good writer, still are and will always be as long as you do not fear the writer’s block like cancer; it is only a miniscule flu bug that comes and goes once you know how to tackle & remedy it.

How to Write a Conclusion to Your Story/Letter

How to Write a Conclusion

A conclusion is the “summing up” of your whole research. No matter how much of a killer your actual examination is, if you write a loose conclusion, you spoil the whole essence. Like a good investigator, you have to clearly delineate the important points during your research that aided in identifying the acquired results.

How to Write a Conclusion in General

A general conclusion for any kind of writing needs an analytical approach and the ability to dissect and screen out. You have to be specific and diagnostic in presenting a conclusive statement. It should explicitly state the analysis that you have reached by drawing on established facts or solid argument. Your closing should encompass the whole study in brief yet giving it a DIRECTIONAL ENDING & FINALE.
Any general conclusion can be simple explained as:
Conclusion = Results Inferred From Data + Results Inferred From Previous Studies + Your Own Analysis

How to Write a Good Conclusion

To write a winsome conclusion you have to be specific, precise and explicit. The more analytically you express your point the much you gather in making an impression. A good conclusion is one that is believable and clearly illustrates the points on which it is based. On the other hand, a random or vague explanation or mere repetition of things doesn’t count as a good conclusion.

How to Write a Conclusion for an Essay

An essay is a thread of various paragraphs without any distinctive filing under separate headings. To write a conclusion for an essay you need to designate the last two or three paragraphs. Since, essays normally consist of an analytical summing up with a personal opinion over the matter under discussion, hence your conclusion should reflect your point of view.
You can add external evidence like a quote or anecdote but you should NEVER stray from the points discussed in your preceding paragraphs. Essentially, a conclusion for an essay would draw from points already explained or mentioned in the essay. But the only difference is the summing up and extraction of the analysis from them.
