Class #5 today. Great stuff. Still so hard. But words are coming, slowly but surely. At the end of this 3 months I'd like to take a month off then do another 2-3 months, then take the DLPT.

Ancient Egyptian chapter 6...going smoothly. Exercises coming up this coming weekend.

In other news, I managed a new 1RM in overhead press today: 125lbs. It was difficult, but the weight kept going up, so that's good. I also got in open water this past weekend. So cold! Felt great though after the first 100m or so.

Congrats on the PR. So close to one plate! OHP is probably my favorite lift.

Great words in class today.

nenadoknadiv
teretiti
rerni
zanemarivanje
omražen
tuga


And my instructor gave me a couple of homework tasks: to find out what jaglaci and visibabe mean. Has something to do with the first melt of snow, when winter ends, but not really. Hmmm...Radioclare?

Also about a third through HP1 (Harry Potter i kamen mudraca). L-Ring the book. Also 4 lessons in to both the Alexander & Elias book as well as the Hippocrene books.

Middle Egyptian is hard, but I bought the Complete Middle Egyptian from the TY publishers (like the Old English and Esperanto ones I already have) and I wish I had bought this when I started this Glyphstudy. It is so much clearer! So I'm slowly going through this book in addition to the C&M.

I'm still translating Mi stelojn jungis al revado for my monthly writing group. I might add an Esperanto half-challenge to my Super Challenge.

Wow, you're learning some hard words in this course :shock: I have no idea what rerni means!

Also never heard of visibabe. I feel like jaglaci are a type of flower, but I don't know which one without cheating and looking it up :lol:

Here's one of the articles we did yesterday, and possibly one of the saddest articles I've ever read, next to the one where the cleaning lady tried to "fix" the fresco:

Rumunjski stručnjaci kažu da su pronašli ostatke izgorjelih boja, platna i ekserčića koji vjerojatno potiču od remek-djela ukradenih prošle godine iz nizozemske umjetničke galerije. Ovi su ostaci nađeni u rerni žene čijeg se sina, među drugim osobama, tereti za krađu slika, uključujući Matissa, Picassa i Moneta.
Olga Dogaru, Raduova majka, učinila je samo ono što bi svaka majka uradila da spasi svog sina. Ona kaže kako je spalila umjetnine kada su istražitelji posumnjali da je njen sin umješan u jednu od najvećih pljački posljednjih dvadesetak godina. Radu Dogaru jedan je od tri Rumuna koji se sumnjiče za krađu remek djela svjetskih majstora iz galerije Kunsthal u Rotterdamu.
U oktobru su prošle godine iz te galerije ukradene slike: “Arlekinov šešir” Pabla Picassa, “Most Waterloo” i "Charing Cross most, London", Claude-a Monet-a, “Čitačica u bijelom i žutom” Henri Matisse-a, "Djevojka ispred otvorenog prozora " Paul-a Gauguin-a, “Autoprotret” Meyer De Haan-a" te " Žena sa zatvorenim očima ".
Lucian-a Freud-a.
Ukradene slike su procjenjene na vrijednost između 100 i 200 miliona eura.
Olga Dogaru je istražiteljima rekla da je u januaru, nakon što su joj uhapsili sina, zakopala slike najprije u napuštenoj kući, a potom na groblju u selu Caracliu u delti Dunava.
Kasnije ih je, u februaru, iskopala i spalila u pećnici kako bi uništila dokaze koji bi mogli teretiti njenog sina, navodnog organizatora pljačke.
Ernest Oberlander-Tarnoveanu, ravnatelj rumunjskog Nacionalnog istorijskog muzeja, kaže kako forenzičari analiziraju pepeo još od marta, te da očekuje rezultate već sljedeće sedmice.
Najviše im je, pri analizi, pomogao podatak da su u pepelu pronađeni ostaci materijala koju su koristili slikari prije nekoliko desetljeća.
"Neke od tih boja su vrlo otrovne i više se ne koriste. Također smo otkrili ekserčiće koji su davno korišteni za pričvršćivanje platna za okvir, a već odavno se ne proizvode”, izjavio je Oberlander-Tarnoveanu.
Lopovi, koji su se inače bavili prostitucijom i organizacijom sitnijih krađa, iskoristili su slabe mjere sigurnosti i provalili u galeriju 16. oktobra 2012. godine. Sva su djela stavili u obične plastične vrećice za nošenje i pobjegli automobilima. Navodno ih je gotovo zaustavila saobraćajna policija.
Radu Dogaru i dva druga osumnjičenika zadržani su u pritvoru, dok je trajala potraga za slikama i prikupljanje dokaza.
Osumnjičenici, za koje se vjeruju da nisu specijalizirani za umjetnine, nisu bili ni svjesni vrijednosti svog plijena.
Ukradena djela su dio privatne kolekcije avangardne umjetnosti Triton Fondacije. Ustanovi li se da je pepeo zaista ostatak ovih slika, biće to monstruozni zločin i ogroman, nenadoknadiv gubitak.

Had a difficult Middle Egyptian exercise for homework this week. Got it done, and I think I did it right.

Back in the day I did a Masters in Egyptology so used to be able to sight read all that - totally lost it all in 15 years since alas. :cry: This book of grammar was written by one of our lecturers so we used that. I still have it so happy to scan some pages if there's a particular topic you want more on.

Thanks Amandine! I'll let you know. I have quite a few grammars now.

I sucked in class today. Then I submitted my tweet to the 6wc bot and was told unemotionally that the 6wc is done. Was done at 2359 on the 11th, which is interesting, because I tweeted a bunch yesterday (the 12th) and the bot accepted.
