definition - physiocrat - During the 18th and 19th century, a group of mostly French "economists" led by Francois Quesnay, physician to the King of France at the time, performed some of the first autopsies of the time. - Autopsies were banned for the longest time for religious reasons - When Quesnay performed autopsies, he discovered networks of tubes in the circulation system and this led him to surmise a network of circulation in another field, economics - Quesnay advised the king, hence the name physiocrat - So modern economics has its roots in biology - it was a case of biomimicry!

Die französische Regierung plant die Anpassung an eine Temperatursteigerung um 4° bis zum Ende des Jahrhunderts. Die Libération gibt einen Überblick darüber, wie Frankreich dann aussehen wird.

In Frankreich ist ein Komitee zur Anticipation von Trockenheiten im Ministerium für die ökologische transition zusammengekommen. Der zuständige Minister hat dabei die Situation im Departement Pyrénées Orientales als Vorzeichen dessen bezeichnet, was im ganzen Mittelmeerraum bevorsteht. Er Versuche, einen "Krieg um das Wasser" zu verhindern.https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/climat/secheresse-en-france-le-chaud-dans-linconnu-20230427_75BMFEACMNABDKKZZM7GWCRHAM/

In Spanien hat auch der normalerweise Gerichte April die seit Januar 2022 herrschende Trockenheit nicht unterbrochen. Die Ernten werden voraussichtlich um 60% schlechter als üblich ausfallen und in manchen Zonen komplett ausbleiben .

Wieder was auch beschäftigt sich damit, dass isch die Wahrnehmung des Wetters verändert, weil man sich an die geänderten Bedingungen anpasst und die früheren Verhältnisse vergisst Punkt Menschen ohne 30 haben in Frankreich in der regelkrankheiten Winter mehr erlebt und halten ihr fehlen deshalb auch für selbstverständlich. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/climat/avec-le-rechauffement-des-temperatures-les-hivers-perdus-entre-amnesie-et-nostalgie-20240117_RINBQOXOLRDU7GZ27UMHFDBH3U/

Broadly an extended excerpt of François Caradec's Dictionary of Gestures.

“Aprender a hablar y a comprender es apren-der otra cosa diferente al léxico y las estructuras gramaticales: en general, es aprender los diferentes tipos de encadenamiento de los enunciados en el discurso del otro y en mi propio discurso, en entrar en los diferentes juegos del lenguaje tanto en relación con la realidad como discurso del otro

This source is questionable in it's sourcing and seems to mix several different methods and systems, so we'll need to treat it with a massive grain of salt.

It does Mention Abb'e Jean Rozier (1734-93) as a historical figure related to propagating a system of card indexing which is a new name to me and thus worth looking into.

Is Abb'e here a title? (potentially the French translation of the English abbot which is correctly abbé, so this may have had a typo.)

The dates of life given would indicate that this is not the balloonist/scientist Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Fran%C3%A7ois_Pil%C3%A2tre_de_Rozier

Apparently this is often misattributed to Voltaire

In published instructions issued on May 8, 1791 in France, Gaspard-Michel LeBlond by way of standardization for library catalogs suggests using playing cards either vertically or horizontally but admonishing catalogers to pick one orientation and stick with it. He was likely familiar with the use of playing cards for this purpose by Abbé Rozier fifteen years earlier.

Abbé François Rozier cleverly transferred book titles onto the blank side of French playing cards instead of cut octavo sheets as a means of indexing after being appointed in 1775 to index the holdings of the Académie des Sciences in Paris.

I wish he'd written more here about this. Now I'll have to dig up the reference and the set up as I've long had a similar thought for doing this myself.

I'll also want to check into the primacy of the idea as others have certainly thought about the same thing. My initial research indicates that both François Fauvel Gouraud and Isaac Pitman both wrote about or developed this possibility. In Pitman's case he used it to develop his version of shorthand which was likely informed by earlier versions of shorthand.
