After the end of the ice age the hunter- gatherer lifestyle came to an end in France. The agricultural revolution began in the Middle East but farming began in France about 6,0. BC. However the changed to farming from hunting and gathering food happened gradually. For a long time hunting was still an important source of food. Nevertheless by about 4,5. BC the stone age farmers had created a sophisticated society. They built impressive stone tombs and they also erected menhirs (standing stones).

At the top of Celtic society were the aristocrats. Below them were the farmers and craftsmen. Celtic craftsmen were very skilled workers in iron, bronze and gold. Furthermore trade flourished in Gaul and the Gauls built communities known as hill forts, which could be considered the first French towns. Then about 6. 00 BC the Greeks founded Marseilles and Gaul increasingly came into contact with the Mediterranean world. However the Gauls were hopelessly disunited. They were divided into about 6. Romans to conquer them. Roman France. First, in 1. BC, the Romans took control of part of southern France. They called it the province (In Latin provinicia). Today it is called Provence. Then in 5. 8 BC Julius Caesar began conquering the rest of Gaul. The Gauls failed to unite against him until 5. BC when a man called Vercingetorix led them. However the Gauls were crushed at the battle of Alesia and eventually they were forced to submit to Roman rule. Afterwards the Romans built a network of roads across Gaul to enable their army to march quickly from one area to another. Then in 4. 3 BC they made Lugdunum (Lyon) the capital of Gaul and under the Emperor Augustus many more towns were built. Slowly the Gauls adopted the Roman way of life (at least to a certain extent). Latin became a common language. Moreover some Gauls were made Roman citizens. Many Gauls came to fill government posts in Gaul and in 4. AD they were allowed to become Roman senators. Christianity arrived in France as early as the first century. Christians suffered terrible persecution. In 2. 50 AD a man named Denis was beheaded. He later became patron saint of France.

He converted to Christianity and his people followed. Once they shared the same religion there was less difference between the Franks and the native Romano- Gallic people. Slowly the two intermarried and their cultures merged. Clovis also issued a body of laws called Salic law and in 5. AD he made the little town of Paris his capital. After his death in 5. Franks ruled all of France. However the first dynasty of Frankish kings, known as the Merovingians had little power over the outlying parts of France. Provence and Burgundy kept some autonomy.

His son Charlemagne carried on his work and created a great European empire. He also forced pagan Germans to 'convert' to Christianity. Finally in 8. 00 AD the Pope crowned Charlemagne Emperor. Thus Charlemagne claimed to be the successor of the old Roman Emperors. Charlemagne was keen to keep the church's support so he founded many monasteries and he gave gifts of land to the church. Furthermore under Charlemagne there was a revival of art and learning called the Carolingian Renaissance. Charlemagne died in 8. His successor Louis the Pious announced that after his death the empire would be split among his sons. Louis died in 8. 40 and after some fighting his sons made the treaty of Verdun in 8.

Gigi is a 1. 95. 8 American musical- romance film directed by Vincente Minnelli processed using MGM's Metrocolor. The screenplay by Alan Jay Lerner is based on the 1. Colette. The film features songs with lyrics by Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe, arranged and conducted by Andr. The American Film Institute ranked it #3. AFI's 1. 00 Years.. Passions. The film is considered the last great MGM musical and the final great achievement of the Freed Unit, headed by producer Arthur Freed, although he would go on to produce several more films, including the musical Bells Are Ringing in 1. Set in turn- of- the- 2. Paris, the film opens with Honor. Being a charming old rou. The one thing Gaston truly enjoys is spending time with Madame Alvarez (Hermione Gingold), whom he calls Mamita, and especially her granddaughter, the precocious, carefree Gilberte, aka Gigi (Leslie Caron). Following the family tradition, Madame Alvarez sends Gigi to her Great Aunt Alicia (Isabel Jeans), to be groomed as a courtesan to learn etiquette and charm. To Alicia, love is an art, and a necessary accomplishment for Gigi's social and economic future. But Gigi shows disdain for such trivial love that a man and his mistress usually have. Remaining true to her girlish, yet charming personality, she finds herself having the most fun when she is with Gaston, whom she regards as an older brother. Like his uncle, Gaston is known as a wealthy womanizer. The whole of Paris watches his every move, and Parisian high society shows unrestrained judgment towards him and his mistresses. Gaston's latest mistress attempts to run off with her ice skating instructor, in response he publicly humiliates her, resulting in her attempted suicide. After this ordeal, Gaston wishes to retreat to the country but his Uncle insists on him staying in Paris and attending more parties. Gigi makes a wager during a card match with Gaston, suggesting that if he loses, he has to take her and her grandmother to the sea with him when he goes on vacation. Gaston agrees, and they all travel to the country. While Gaston and Gigi spend countless hours having fun together, Honor. Meanwhile, other women at the resort are shown holding perfect poise constantly, and giving off an air of boredom and disdain for anything unfamiliar. Gigi on the other hand, is pulling Gaston out of his depressive rut with her carefree, fun attitude. Once Gigi and her grandmother return, Gaston goes to Monte Carlo for some time. During this time, Gigi's aunt and grandmother discuss the possibility of Gigi becoming Gaston's mistress, thereby fulfilling their goals for her. Madame Alvarez, though dubious at first, agrees to let Gigi train around the clock to prepare for Gaston's return. Gigi accepts this as a necessary evil. When Gaston returns, he is underwhelmed when Gigi appears in her new dress. Gaston stammers out that she looks like a giraffe and that he misses her old outfits. He storms out, realises his folly, and rushes back to apologize. He tells her that she looks lovely, and that he will prove it to her by taking her to tea. Gigi's grandmother refuses and tells Gaston that this may ruin her reputation to be seen unchaperoned with Gaston before her reputation has even begun. Gaston, angered, storms out once again. As he walks, he starts to reflect about Gigi. He stops and realizes suddenly, that she has become a woman whose charms, wit, and personality have sent his head spinning, and comes to the conclusion that he has developed a romantic desire for Gigi. Although he has doubts due to their enormous age difference, he also realizes that he loves her even more than he thought (unheard of between a man and a mistress) and he wants to be with her. He proposes an arrangement to Madame Alvarez and Aunt Alicia for Gigi to become his mistress. They are overjoyed, while Gigi isn. Gaston talks to Gigi and she tells him that she isn't the type of girl who wants publicity and to be dumped by him one day, then having to become someone else. After Gaston accidentally reveals that he loves Gigi, she admits that she has feelings for him too, but wants their relationship to remain platonic. Gaston leaves angered, but Gigi later calls him up admitting she would rather be with him than without him and agrees to accompany him in public. Gigi dresses in finery for their date, and when Gaston arrives he is entranced by her beauty. They go to a restaurant, where Gigi acts the role of courtesan perfectly, but Gaston is uncomfortable and concerned for Gigi because of the unrelenting judgment of other patrons. Gaston, too in love with Gigi to give her this appalling life of uncertainty and judgment, leaves without a word after dragging her home crying. However, he stops a little way down the street and realizes his love for her is too strong so he does something he never thought he would do; proposes marriage to Gigi. The final sequence reverts to Honor. The couple are elegant, beautiful, and happily married with a sense of fun and love that has been unseen when looking at other relationships high society has to offer. Production. When Lerner arrived in Hollywood two years later, Freed was battling the Hays Code in order to bring his tale of a courtesan- in- training to the screen. Another roadblock to the project was the fact Colette's widower had sold the rights to her novella to Gilbert Miller, who planned to produce a film version of the 1. Anita Loos. It cost Freed more than $8. Miller and Loos. He and Freed discussed casting; Lerner favored Audrey Hepburn, who had starred in the Broadway production written by Loos, but Freed preferred Leslie Caron, who had co- starred in An American in Paris for him. Both agreed Maurice Chevalier would be ideal for aging boulevardier Honor. Lerner agreed to write the lyrics if Freed could convince Bogarde and designer Cecil Beaton to join the project. He decided to approach Loewe once again, and when he suggested they compose the score in Paris, Loewe agreed. When Chevalier, who already had agreed to appear in the film, first heard . When he discussed his waning interest in wine and women in favor of performing for an audience in cabarets, Chevalier inadvertently inspired the creation of another tune for his character, . The lyrics for another of his songs, the duet . Lerner disliked the melody, but Loewe, Freed, and Minnelli voted to include it in the film. The producer then asked him to fly to London to speak to Leslie Caron, who was living there with her husband Peter Hall. Lerner was surprised to discover the star had become Anglicized to the point of losing her French accent. She had recently starred in an unsuccessful stage production of Gigi, but when she heard Lerner's interpretation of the story greatly differed from that of the play, she accepted his offer. Her singing voice was dubbed by Betty Wand, though Caron filmed mainly to her own tracks (a brief clip of Caron's voice is heard in the DVD extras.) Dirk Bogarde expressed interest as well, but ultimately was unable to free himself from his contract with J. Recalling Louis Jourdan from his performance in Three Coins in the Fountain, Freed offered him the role of Gaston. The weather had become unseasonably hot, and working in non- air- conditioned hotel rooms was uncomfortable. Minnelli began scouting locations while Freed and Lerner discussed the still incomplete script. Lerner had taken liberties with Colette's novella; the character of Honor. Gigi's mother, originally a significant character, was reduced to a few lines of dialogue delivered off- screen. Lerner also expanded the focus on Gigi's relationship with her grandmother. Loewe was at the piano while Lerner was indisposed in the bathroom, and when the former began playing a melody the latter liked, he later recalled he jumped up, . And that melody ended up being the title song for Gigi. Lerner was unhappy with the look of the scene as it had been shot by Minnelli, and at considerable expense the restaurant was recreated on a soundstage and the scene was reshot by director Charles Walters, since Minnelli was overseas working on a new project. Audience reaction was overwhelmingly favorable (8. Lerner felt it was twenty minutes too long and most of the action too slow. The changes he proposed would cost an additional $3. Freed was loath to spend. The songwriting team offered to buy 1. Impressed with their belief in the film, MGM executives agreed to the changes, which included eleven days of considerable reshooting, putting the project at $4. At a preview in Encino, audience reaction changed from . It premiered at the Royale Theatre, a legitimate theatrical venue in New York City, on May 1. It is not only a charming comprehension of the spicy confection of Colette, but it is also a lovely and lyrical enlargement upon that story's flavored mood and atmosphere. The Metrocolor rates recognition for its soft pastels under Joseph Ruttenberg's lensing; the Beaton costumes, sets and general production design are vivid physical assets at first sight. The skillful integration of words- and- music with the plot motivation makes this Gigi a very fair lady indeed as a boxoffice entry. No doubt inspired by the finicky, claustrophobic sets and bric- . The exception is Gingold, who inhabits, as always, a world of her own. The winner is Chevalier, in a performance that makes one feel as if you're gagging on pastry. In tribute to Gigi's domination of the Oscars, the MGM switchboard answered calls the following day with . Gigi, eventually along with 1. The Last Emperor, would hold the record as the film(s) with the most Academy Award wins in every category in which it was nominated, until 2.

Brand Hong Kong. Video. Mainland and Hong. Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA). This week is not and shall not be construed as a state holiday. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has initiated the study on the economic benefits and implications of Hong Kong joining the Asean- China Free Trade Agreement (FTA) since last year. Tsang said in an interview with Xinhua Friday that the secretariat of this union was still going through some . Hopefully our wish to be included in this process would be favorably answered. Recalling the history of Hong Kong- ASEAN economic ties, Tsang said the city, as a small but outward economy, used to rely heavily on the United States and European countries and was thus extremely vunerable to the fluctuation of the international market. Back in 2. 00. 7 when the current government took office, it started to make changes. What we are looking to bond with them is not just direct and simple relationships but complex and multidimensional ones. Last year, Thailand was Hong Kong's 9th largest trading partner and 1. Meanwhile, Hong Kong was the kingdom's 7th largest trading partner and 4th largest export market. Despite the devastating floods, the trade value between HK and Thailand exceeded HK$1. Tsang also noted that Thailand was spearheading a trend of using Hong Kong as a springboard to reach market in Chinese mainland. Last year, 1. 6. 7 percent of Thailand's trade with the mainland was routed through Hong Kong. A Repulse Bay residential site could set a record for price per buildable square foot in the SAR. The 4. 6,7. 00 square foot plot, tenders for which close at noon today, is expected to fetch between HK$1. HK$1. 9. 1 billion - or HK$3. HK$4. 5,4. 00 per buildable square foot. The current record in the category is held by a 7. Mount Kellett Road, The Peak. In 2. 00. 6, Sun Hung Kai Properties (0. HK$1. 8 billion, or HK$4. But topping the current record may prove challenging. Vincent Cheung Kiu- cho, national director of valuation at Cushman & Wakefield, said: . Meanwhile, Sa Sa International (0. Simon Kwok Siu- ming reportedly put on the market a 6,1. He is seeking HK$3. HK$5. 8,5. 37 per sq ft. Revealed: who paid what in race for chief - Half of Leung Chun- ying's campaign chest of HK$1. The documents submitted to the Registration and Electoral Office showed that the Association of Experts for Modernization, of which National People's Congress deputy Maria Tam Wai- chu is honorary chairwoman, donated just over HK$1 million to Leung. Tam also donated to Leung, Tse said. Leung has been close to the association, showing up at its general meeting last year, where two officials from the central government liaison office were also present. But Tse stressed that no one from the liaison office had forced them to make the donation. The six individuals chipping in HK$1 million each include tycoon Li Ka- shing's sister- in- law Catherine Chong Yuet- ngai, Cammy Poon Kwok- ling, Albert Li Chee- man and Lei Ioc- heng. Six other individuals and companies each donated HK$5. Among them was Sun Hung- kai Properties former chairman Walter Kwok Ping- sheung. Chow Tai Fook Nominee Limited, chaired by Henry Cheng Kar- shun, also donated HK$5. Cheng was earlier criticized for changing support from Henry Tang Ying- yen to Leung. Of the HK$1. 4. 8. Leung raised for his election campaign, he spent HK$1. The biggest chunk, HK$3. HK$2. 5 million went to agents and election assistants. Compared with Leung, Tang received fewer large- sum donations, with the biggest amount just HK$2. Ten people each donated HK$2. Tang, with three of them having close relationships to Li Ka- shing. They include Grace Woo Chia- ching and Justin Chiu Kwok- hung, who are both executive directors of Cheung Kong (Holdings). Canning Fok Kin- ning, managing director of Hutchison Whampoa, also donated HK$2. Those who donated HK$1. Tang include Lifestyle International Holdings boss Thomas Lau Luen- hung, Liberal Party honorary chairman James Tien Pei- chun, and Macau casino tycoon Stanley Ho Hung- sun and his daughter Pansy Ho Chiu- king. Tang raised HK$1. HK$1. 0. 9. 7 million. The biggest items of expenditure were also rental, office and transportation, at HK4. Tang also spent almost HK$3 million on hiring agents and election assistants. Both Leung and Tang have said they will donate the unspent campaign money to charity. Parents will have to dig even deeper to keep their children studying under the English Schools Foundation. The foundation has informed parents - with regret - that primary school tuition fees will go up by 4. HK$6. 6,1. 00 a year. Tuition fees for students in Year Seven to Year 1. HK$9. 8,0. 00, while those for Years 1. HK$1. 02,0. 00. Part of the fee increases will go to ESF staff, who are getting a pay rise of 4 percent. The staff payroll makes up 8. ESF budget. The rises are also to cover spending of HK$3 million on an ESF Therapy Centre. Furthermore, the ESF needs to spend HK$2. Sha Tin Junior School, Sha Tin College and Kennedy School, Du Quesnay wrote. The ESF was hoping expenditure would have been met by subvention from the Education Bureau, but will now have to pay itself owing to the failure of the government to decide in time on the future of the subsidy. The bureau has frozen the annual subvention at HK$2. Peter Law of the ESF Concerned Parents Group, who has a child in Year Eight at Sha Tin College, said the ESF should use its huge reserves to cover pay rises for staff. A bureau spokeswoman said the subvention review is proceeding. The ESF raised primary and secondary school fees by an average of 2. There was an average increase of 4. JPMorgan Chase wants to build up revenue in Asia- Pacific. JPMorgan Chase named Jeff Urwin as its new chief executive for Asia. Pacific, to take over from Gaby Abdelnour who said last month that he was leaving the firm. He will continue to report to Jes Staley, chief of the investment bank's operations. It would be the first time JPMorgan's global head of investment banking was based in Asia. Pacific, the company said. Urwin is a relative newcomer to JPMorgan, having come to the bank through its acquisition of Bear Stearns in March 2. Urwin has no direct experience of running an Asia- based investment banking business, having been co- head of North American investment banking before his appointment in his current role last June. JPMorgan, the third- ranked adviser on mergers globally this year, is second in the Asia- Pacific region after Morgan Stanley, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The firm has advised on US$2. Hong Kong- based Hutchison Whampoa (SEHK: 0. Abdelnour was tapped to run the firm's Asia- Pacific unit in July 2. Under his leadership, JPMorgan set up a securities joint venture on the mainland, bought a stake in a trust and a guarantee company, and established a locally incorporated bank. He was, however, once global head of emerging markets for Lehman Brothers, in which role his coverage included Asia, excluding Japan. Before joining Lehman Brothers in 1. Urwin was head of business in the developing countries division at Midland Bank in Britain and he graduated from Birmingham University in 1. In his role as head of investment banking coverage, newly created for him, Urwin oversaw the deal origination efforts of JPMorgan's investment bank. He takes over at a time when JPMorgan's investment bank is riding high globally, but when the firm is pushing to build up its Asia- Pacific revenue. Urwin will move to Hong Kong next month, according to JPMorgan. A New York- based real estate blog reported in February that Urwin's 8,8. US$2. 6 million Upper East Side townhouse in Manhattan was up for sale again, according to a Corcoran listing. Separately, Morgan Stanley hired Bank of America's Gabriel Butler as head of electronic trading for Asia, excluding Japan, according to two people familiar with the move. Butler, who was head of electronic trading sales at Bank of America Merrill Lynch - where he worked until last week - would start at Morgan Stanley in Hong Kong by August, the people said. Butler replaces Joseph Sarcona, who was promoted to global co- head of listed derivatives for the electronic trading team in New York, they said. Goldman Sachs neither admits nor contests HKEx's findings, but accepts the censure and had co- operated fully, the exchange said. The Hong Kong stock exchange has publicly censured Goldman Sachs Structured Products (Asia) for breaching listing rules by allowing errors in the documents related to HK$6. Nikkei- linked warrants it issued last year. The committee said it had considered suspending the Wall Street investment bank from trading but decided against it as the bank had already voluntarily halted the issuing of warrants in Hong Kong for eight months - from April to November - and had addressed the regulatory concerns arising from the errors. The bank was cleared by the exchange in December to continue issuing structured products. Chim Pui- chung, legislator for the financial services sector, said public censure was too light a punishment. The exchange should slap a heavy fine on them as a warning to all warrant issuers. In February last year, Goldman Sachs issued the listing documents regarding the launch of the Nikkei 2. Stock Average Index warrants containing the errors, which caused mispricing. The mistake caused the price of the warrants to soar, and they traded normally for six weeks before the errors came to light. |
