Career Diversity's Time Has Come: Mellon Foundation Awards AHA $1.6 Million to Expand Historians' Options
Julia Brookins and James Grossman | May 1, 2014
A PhD in a humanities discipline conventionally prepares a student to be a college professor. This is as it should be. Most graduate students seek faculty positions, and most research universities consider training the next generation of scholars as part of their institutional mission. But few humanities graduate programs prepare their students to earn a living or contribute to public culture in other ways as well. At a time when many scholars with doctorates struggle to establish long-term careers in the conventional faculty mold, and when more sectors of American institutional life clearly could benefit from the expertise and values derived from advanced education in the humanities, we must question our commitment to this narrow training, and explore the possibilities and implications of a broader perspective on the education of historians.
The American Historical Association's recent efforts to expand the career horizons of historians have culminated in a $1.6 million grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to continue, expand, and enhance our Career Diversity and the History PhD initiative. This grant will help us move toward establishing a new norm: doctoral graduates in history (and by extension the humanities) will know how to pursue career opportunities across a wide spectrum, including the professoriate, higher education administration, cultural institutions and other nonprofits, government, public education, and the private sector. And as these graduates fan out into a variety of careers, they will help us achieve an equally important goal: widening the presence and influence of humanistic thinking in business, government, and nonprofits. Implicit assumptions about historical context inform thousands of decisions made every day in nearly every institutional context, and we believe that a substantial proportion of those decisions are made without recognition of those historical assumptions, and certainly with very little actual historical knowledge.
This grant will fund a suite of national activities implemented by the Association, in concert with pilot programs at four universities that will demonstrate how a graduate program in history can serve all doctoral students, not just those on the path to tenure-track jobs at research universities.
Our four pilot projects will take place at PhD-granting universities—UCLA, Columbia University, the University of Chicago, and the University of New Mexico—with large enough programs to test substantial experiments in different parts of the country, and with enough administrative and faculty support for innovation to facilitate collaboration with colleagues well beyond the humanities.
The vast terrain covered by the recent conversation about problems with doctoral education in the humanities suggests considerable disagreement on such central issues as the ethics of graduating more PhDs than there are academic jobs, and the purpose and format of the doctoral dissertation. Yet the AHA's initial research has found a remarkable consensus on an agenda for change. Graduate curricula in the humanities—according to potential employers, university faculty and administrators, graduate students, and history alumni working beyond the academy—need to evolve in four ways:
Students must be required to practice communicating their knowledge and research to a wide range of audiences through a variety of media;
Curricula must provide intellectually relevant opportunities for students to work collaboratively toward common goals with others, both within and beyond their discipline—including disciplines beyond the humanities;
Programs cannot neglect quantitative literacy. Graduates who lack a basic threshold of quantitative literacy are disadvantaged in careers both within and beyond the academy, other than in that small number of instances when a historian can pursue a successful career without undertaking his or her share of administrative work;
Graduate education should instill in students the intellectual confidence to venture beyond their comfort zones, whether intellectual, cultural, or institutional.
Communication, teamwork, numeracy, confidence. This agenda for broadening graduate education will not divert PhD candidates from the training they need for a career in the professoriate. Indeed, we also hear from teaching-oriented institutions that new hires come to them prepared to be scholars, but not prepared to be faculty. The same skills that open new opportunities to our students would also speak to these laments and will enhance the professionalization of students who go into faculty positions as well. Professors with these skills will be better teachers, and more responsible citizens of an institution and practitioners of a discipline.
Each of the four partner universities has developed a unique plan for enhancing aspects of their doctoral curricula in ways that give students maximum scope to learn and to make their own professional choices without sacrificing scholarly rigor. While each pilot will be led by a senior faculty member, the AHA is not asking faculty members themselves to retrain or develop new expertise. Rather, each pilot, and all of the AHA's national project activities, will be focused on cultivating students' own agency as they engage in the kinds of training, experiences, and exploration that excite them and broaden their career choices. The AHA and the partner programs will put their efforts into activities that help open the history departments more fully to opportunities for their students to engage productively with the broader world.
The AHA will perform four main roles in this initiative: instigator, coordinator, clearinghouse of information, and strategic center of activities for history graduate students in history departments beyond the four pilots. In addition to coordinating the efforts of the pilot programs, the AHA will start or expand a range of activities and publications (see sidebar for details).
In the first stage of this initiative, already underway, AHA officers and colleagues located and learned from history PhDs working across a vast spectrum of occupations. We found historians working everywhere from investment banking and marketing to public policy, both inside and outside of government. They are thriving in nonprofit administration and human resources, and in management consulting and journalism. Inside the university as well, our doctoral alumni turn up in every imaginable job. They work in development offices, career and placement centers, and digital humanities centers, and as student counselors and budget specialists. These scholars have one thing in common: they have found success beyond the professoriate.
But most of these historians have had to find their own way, without substantial guidance or support; and few have remained part of a community of historians to which they could make substantial contributions. We want to learn from their experiences, and make it easier for future generations to find their way to rewarding careers. We want to redefine success as a historian in a way that takes account of all the possibilities. In the end, we hope, it will become clear that historians, whatever their career choices, take their training and their habits of mind with them into the workplace—and that those who leave the academy, as well as those who stay, have good reason to remain active members of the community of historians.
Julia Brookins is the AHA's special projects coordinator. James Grossman is the executive director of the AHA.
The AHA's Career Diversity Project
Thanks to the recent Mellon Foundation grant, the AHA will be offering several programs, activities, and publications related to career diversity, including:
Sessions, workshops, and job fairs at the annual meetings from 2015 to 2017 (and beyond, we hope) designed to help graduate students broaden their career horizons and increase awareness of the initiative and the resources it offers;
A "virtual mentoring" program in which a graduate student interested in a particular line of work can contact the AHA and be matched up with a history PhD who has volunteered to communicate with students via e-mail about occupational pathways and useful preparation. We already are building a substantial database of mentors;
A speakers bureau for history departments. We have already received requests from history departments for assistance in planning professionalization workshops and courses. In particular, we are seeing a new demand for people with history doctorates who are willing to discuss their career paths. We will continue to make referrals to departments, and we will use a portion of the project budget to send speakers to schools that can't pay travel expenses;
A competitive grant for individual departments of up to $4,000 for innovative projects relating to this initiative;
Online community spaces to foster engaged discussions on the issues central to this initiative. Some students have already found such resources at Versatile PhD, Academia.edu, and the "Vitae" section of the online Chronicle of Higher Education. None of these, however, is discipline-specific, which is essential to the productive trading of ideas and resources;
Expansion of the What I Do series, which features brief interviews showcasing the actual work of history PhDs employed outside the professoriate (see page 30 in this issue for more on this series);
Ongoing research on the career destinations of history PhDs, with data broken down by institution and other variables useful to prospective graduate students and the programs themselves;
A set of online and print resources-for prospective history graduate students, current students, faculty members, and directors of graduate study-that explores the curricular and professional possibilities of a history doctoral program. These will include web-based conversations, pamphlets, and interviews of historians working in various environments;
A meeting for directors of graduate study at the AHA annual meeting to offer a progress report and enable attendees to query our four participating institutions about their projects.

Campaigns to boost educational opportunities, create safer streets, and improve working conditions for farm workers will all get a hand up with $340,000 in grants from the McCune Foundation. Fifteen groups in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties received grants in November to empower teams of parents, immigrants, youth, and other activists in promoting beneficial changes in the community.
As the Foundation celebrates its 25th year, we recognize that more work is needed to create a just and fair society," said Sara Miller McCune, the Foundation's president and co-founder. "The Foundation's grants provide resources for groups to mobilize around the important issues of today.
Grant dollars provided by the Foundation will pay for salaries of community organizers, trainings, and other program expenses. In 2015, the Foundation awarded 30 grants and dozens of contributions totaling more than $800,000. Grassroots groups that meet the Foundation's funding guidelines may submit a letter of inquiry by the next deadline of January 15, 2016. Details on applying for a grant are available at www.mccunefoundation.org.

Singer, actor Marc Anthony making tour stop in Lehigh Valley
The singer, actor is scheduled to perform in October at the PPL Center in Allentown.
By Pamela Sroka-Holzmann | For lehighvalleylive.com
Singer, actor and television producer Marc Anthony will be making an appearance this fall at the PPL Center in Allentown.
The two-time Grammy Award and six-time Latin Grammy Award winner plans to take the stage Oct. 31 as part of his OPUS U.S. Tour. A tour fan pre-sale is scheduled for 10 a.m Wednesday and other pre-sales run from 10 a.m. Thursday to 9:59 a.m. Friday. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday and can be purchased at the QNB Box Office, the PPL Center's website, or by phone at 610-347-TIXX (8499).
"Opus" is Anthony's first new studio album in six years, and his eighth salsa album in the 26 years since Otra Nota(1993) established him. The album, recorded in Miami at Art House Society and Criteria Studios, is being released Friday on Magnus Media/Sony Latin Music. It's being described as a "blistering-hot" set of state-of-the-art salsa with Anthony teaming up once again with pace-setting producer/pianist Sergio George. George also produced Anthony's first salsa mega hits and co-produced his 2013 album "3.0."
OPUS's first single, "Tu Vida en La Mía," was released at the start of this year and became Anthony's record-breaking 30th charting single on Billboard's Tropical Radio Airplay. His second single, "Parecen Viernes," was released on April 19.
Anthony has received countless gold and platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and has been credited with more than 30 Billboard chart hits and more than 4.7 billion views on YouTube. He is known in the industry as the top selling tropical salsa artist of all time.
Aside from his music and acting accomplishments, Anthony in 2012 launched the Maestro Cares Foundation and hosts a series of fundraisers throughout the year to benefit the nonprofit organization and build orphanages in Latin America. He also has his own clothing and accessories line for Kohl's, and he is a minority owner of The Miami Dolphins. His entertainment and sports venture, Magnus Media, is one of the leading Latin artist and athlete representation companies nationally.
In September of 2017, Anthony and Magnus created the alliance of artists and athletes, "Somos Una Voz," to help provide humanitarian relief to areas affected by natural disasters throughout the southern United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico and other affected areas in the Caribbean.
The PPL Center is located at 701 Hamilton St., Allentown.

Q: What is sound drift correction on OS X and how should I use it? On Audio MIDI Setup there is an option to to enable/disable audio drifting for any sound output device?
What is this and how should I use it?
I do want to enable sound output for multiple devices: HDI TV and normal jack as I do not always know which one is connected.

A: *

*Select your clock source at the top of the window. This is the audio interface who's wordclock will be used for the other audio interfaces in the created aggregate.

*Select the Sample Rate, this is the sample rate that all the other audio interfaces will sample at.

*Drift correction should not be checked on the interface select above. All other audio interfaces / devices should have the Drift Correction box checked.
Drift Correction keeps these interfaces/devices in sync (in-time) with the primary interface from the drop-down menu at the top that you have chosen, which becomes the Master clock.

A: (This is answering an old question, but since I was researching the topic...)
It's to do with keeping different hardware devices in sync.
When you create an aggregate device, more than one piece of sound generation hardware may be required to operate concurrently. Even if these devices are running at the same sample rate, they're probably all using independent hardware clocks to send buffered audio through their DACs and actually generate sound. If these clocks get out of sync, the audio would drift out of sync too and eventually one or more of the hardware devices would start exhausting its data buffer before others had finished with theirs. In short, it'd get glitchy and break.
So for example, you might connect a TV via HDMI and use it as a second monitor to watch movies, but you might want both the TV speakers and your computer speakers to be used - maybe you've plugged in computer speakers with a subwoofer and you like the added bass that the TV speakers can't produce. So you use Audio MIDI Setup to add an aggregate device for both your computer and the TV. But the computer is sending digital audio over HDMI to the TV which independently decodes it - there needs to be some way to make sure both the computer and the TV decode at the same rate, without any clock drift over time screwing things up.
Over digital links like SP/DIF, hardware devices can both transmit and receive a signal in addition to the audio data which is used to perform this kind of synchronisation. It's called word clock. It's really important when you're recording digital audio, so that the recording digital sink is kept rigidly in sync with the transmitting digital source. You can find out more about it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_clock
If your aggregate devices all support word clock, then you don't need software drift correction - the master will be used as a word clock source and the word clock data will be sent to the other devices. They'll all use that clock to keep themselves in sync. Otherwise, any devices except the master which don't support word click need the drift correction switch turning on. This uses some sort of software mechanism for trying to combat clock drift (I don't know how it actually achieves this, or how robust / reliable it is).
In the TV example, you'd set the computer as the master audio device and add in the TV audio output, enabling drift correction for the TV (but not for the master device as that wouldn't make sense - the TV audio clock is corrected using them master as the reference). For another example of how word clock and drift correction work together, see steps 11 and 12 here:

Passion drives fishing event into seventh year
STEVENS POINT – Eric Koepsell and Seth Pionke have a passion for fishing and a desire to share it.
That's why, in 2008, the two men — Koepsell, a deputy with the Portage County Sheriff's Office, and Pionke, an officer with the Plover Police Department — started an event known as Cops 'N Bobbers, which brings children ages 4 to 13 and their parents together with local law enforcement for a day of free fishing.
Now, seven years later, the event has become an annual occurrence, attracting more than 100 children last year, according to Koepsell. This year, the event is scheduled for June 6 at Bukolt Park, with sign-in staring at 8:30 a.m. and the event itself starting at 9 a.m.
"It's a positive interaction with the community," Koepsell said. "A lot of times as an officer, you're not always dealing with positive situations. This gives officers the opportunity to meet with members of the community."
The event is held during free fishing weekend, which means no fishing licenses are required. There will be some equipment and bait available for use, but children and their parents are also encouraged to bring their own equipment.
Koepsell said he is continually thrilled by the way the event has grown over the years.
"It's a great feeling to see the same kids coming back year after year," Koepsell said. "They'll bring more of their friends or they'll spread the word to friends."
The Stevens Point Elks Lodge this year awarded a $2,000 grant — just as it did last year — to help support the event and its members will work alongside officers with the Portage County Sheriff's Office, Stevens Point Police Department, Plover Police Department and state Department of Natural Resources in giving instruction, preparing food for a free lunch and coordinating the event.
Chris Mueller can be reached at 715-345-2251. Follow him on Twitter as @AtChrisMueller.
Call the Portage County Sheriff's Office at 715-346-1400 and ask to register for the Cops 'N Bobbers program or email Deputy Eric Koepsell at koepselle@co.portage.wi.us or Officer Seth Pionke at spionke@ploverwi.gov. Please provide contact information, number of attendees, if equipment is needed and shirt sizes for children.

Rhythm & Hues' CG mouse sits on Nathan Lane's shoulder in this long, long shot.
animatronic version created by Stan Winston Studios, and a computer generated version created by Rhythm & Hues Studios.
Several of the CG mouse shots are undetectable. Unlike dinosaurs, an eighty-year-old ocean liner, or a nasty one ton brain bug, everybody knows what a mouse looks like and how it moves. Not only do the laws of physics and mechanics need to be adhered, but the common appearance of the common mouse needed to be perfectly produced, and animated. While CG has convincingly created fantasy, nightmarish creatures with an amount of 'believablilty', no CG representation of a common animal has ever been as successful, nor used so extensively, than in MOUSEHUNT. Rhythm & Hues produced 20 shots containing the CG mouse.
The mouse climbs onto the podium in one of the best CG mouse scenes in the film.
dynamic camera moves of first unit photography. The lighting of the CG mouse, cheese, fruit, whatever, always seemed naturalistic and real, as if those items actually existed in the background plate's world. The mouse's tiny, short hairs were realistically portrayed, sometimes with a keen little backlight, highlighting only the tips of the hairs. And in only a few cases, the animation was quite realistic and plausible.
Entire sequences use the real mouse, an animatronic mouse, and the CG mouse interchangeably, and all the techniques flow together to produce seamless sequences without the distraction of obvious visual effects.
There are plenty of terrific, memorable CG mouse shots (if you can spot them). The absolute finest, in my opinion, are a series of shots where the mouse climbs onto the auction podium, near the end of the movie. It's not jumping, climbing, or evading anything. It's just sitting there, knawing on a piece of string--the CG mouse is indistinguishable from a real mouse. The twiches, the highlights, the movement are all very realistic. And the mouse is rather large in frame and unobstructed, too, not hidden behind dust or blurred by camera movement.
The CG mouse tramples over Christopher Walken's face.
Another long, tight, unobstructed shot takes place as Christopher Walken is foiled by the little bugger, and lies flat on his back in the snow. In one long shot, the mouse travels down a wire, walks all over his face, and leaves Walken a little present on his chin. Once again, all the twiches and ticks that we've all seen in real mice are accurately presented.
A wide shot of the two brothers trying to smack the mouse with a broom is another inspired, wonderful shot. The mouse runs all over the kitchen floor, with Nathan Lane smacking his broom all over the floor, with the mouse darting out of the way moments before the impact. It's undoubtedly a CG shot, due to the complicated nature of the mouse's movements, but that fact doesn't really hurt the shot.
Not only did Rhythm & Hues create believable, realistic looking CG mice for the film, but they also produced other CG elements, as well. In one sequence, the mouse launches a cherry into a minefield of mousetraps, all ready to snap. The cherry bounces all over the kitchen floor, narrowly missing the traps at every bounce. It eventually spins and rests beside a trap, only to cause it to snap. The entire sequence was produced with a CG cherry that not only holds up to scrutiny, but moves with realistic grace. The camera pulls in very tight on the cherry, and even as it almost fills the entire screen, it holds up, with the skin accurately reflecting the room's light source.
A CG cherry rolls toward the trap in this photorealistic shot.
As the mouse gets away with olives and other food on his back, the real-life, trained mouse was used, while CG food was placed on his back. The best shot of the sequence is a harrowing camera move, with the camera tracking backwards, the mouse running toward the camera, and the brothers stumbling behind the mouse trying to nail it with a vacuum cleaner.
There are other CG moments in the film, such as the spinning quarter that realistically moves, spins and eventually fills the screen, even under the tricky lighting of a single flashlight. Some of the film's introductory visual effects shots are not up to the caliber of the rest of the film, and appear cartoony--a disgusting cockroach climbs out of a cigar box, and wreaks havoc in Nathan Lane's restaurant. The introductory shot of the cockroach didn't look or move realistically at all. The insect's shadow was hokey, and the movement was quite robotic and cartoonish, as were the closeups of the cockroach parts that are featured later in the scene.
Non-mouse effects that also appear in the film are found in a nice sequence, where the brothers mistakenly ignite gas through the chimney, blowing Nathan Lane hundreds of feet into the air. The initial shots of the brothers being engulfed by flame are really neat--they're realistic without being gory or overly-violent. The smoke trails and explosion elements were nicely comped and fit well into the background plates. Another cool shot occurs as the brothers blow up the bugbomb, burning the floor in a circular pattern, eventually disintegrating it. It's a nice, detailed shot that has a lot of character.
Not easily overlooked is a beautiful transition early in the film. The camera dollys toward a bakery window, where a huge cake with a tiny plastic house on the top is showcased. The frame, complete with the brothers' reflection, slowly dissolves to an exterior nighttime shot of the house where most of the film takes place. It's a lovely shot; patient and simple, and providing a wonderful transition to the next scene.
The box containing Catzilla was actually a CGI model, built, animated and rendered by Rhythm & Hues.
Rhythm & Hues also fashioned a CG box to represent the box that houses a nasty cat. The cat causes the box to bounce up and down on the ground, finally with the cat's four paws blasting out of the sides of the box. These shots are extraordinary, and truly appear as if they were live-action special effects.
There are also a series of shots that are quite cartoonish, and that lack the realism of the best of the CG shots. Right after the cat's four limbs break out of the box, it hobbles away as the camera cranes up. While the lighting and matchmoving were exceptional in the shot, the cat's movement is silly and quite fake. Its arms look like stiff rods that rotate in a circular pattern. The cat should never have had to walk like that. Also quite disappointing is the Stan Winston Studio cat, which doesn't look real at all.
There are a few shots, also, of the CG mouse that are recognizable as effects shots. Three of them involve highly complicated moves that, when combined with some not-so-great rendering/compositing, become noticeable. One is the mouse's slide down the banister, and the next shot of it bouncing off the wall, landing on a paint can. The landing is the worst part of the shot, as the mouse looks like it stops on a dime and lands without any recoil. Another shot that suffers from perhaps too much movement is a shot looking straight up as the mouse jumps from a shelf to a light chain, and then to another shelf. The matchmoving is excellent in the shot; however, as the mouse hangs off the last shelf, a close look at it reveals its synthetic nature. The fur seems flat, and the contrast just doesn't seem right.
The film's final CG mouse shot is one of the movie's most challenging effects shots. The ten second shot takes place at the end of the film, with the mouse sitting on Nathan Lane's shoulder, testing out various cheeses. This shot is a fine example of fine execution, with the only distraction being the complicated choreography of the mouse. Within the shot, the mouse picks up cheese, eats it, spits it out, even nods to Lane, right on cue. The tracking, lighting and shadows are top notch throughout the entire shot, which is almost agonizingly long. Even as Lane turns and walks off camera, the mouse truly seems attached to his shoulder.
Of the 160 total effects shots for MOUSEHUNT, only a few are recognizable. There's a terrific couple of sequences where the mouse is running away from danger--one, where he's being chased by an avalanche of nails, and another where he's running from a deluge of water. Both sequences are exciting and seamless, which accurately sums up the visual effects effort for the entire film.

Nestor Hippolyte Antoine L'Hôte, né à Cologne le , décédé à Paris le , est un égyptologue, peintre et dessinateur français. Au cours de trois expéditions en Égypte il réalise d'innombrables esquisses et dessins, insérés dans les Monuments de l'Égypte et de la Nubie de Champollion, puis dans ses propres publications, mais dont une grande partie disparaît pendant plus d'un siècle.

Biographie

Fils de François-Isidore L'Hôte, sous-chef à la direction des douanes de Cologne, et de son épouse Zoé, née Dequen, Nestor L'Hôte naît le  dans cette ville, française sous le Premier Empire. À la suite de la désastreuse campagne d'Allemagne et de la débâcle des troupes napoléoniennes, sa famille s'installe à Charleville. Nestor s'y passionne pour le dessin et la peinture, et prend des cours auprès de Jean-Baptiste Couvelet puis probablement de Léon Cogniet. Mais aussi, dès son plus jeune âge il prend goût à l'archéologie romaine et égyptienne. À 18 ans, son père le fait entrer dans l'Administration des Douanes. Un travail qui lui laisse suffisamment de loisirs pour assouvir ses passions et terminer à 22 ans un Cours élémentaire d'archéologie égyptienne, grecque et romaine, composé d'après les meilleures autorités tant anciennes que modernes. Après différentes affectations, il est en poste à Paris en 1827 pour rédiger une nouvelle version des règlements et code douaniers. Un de ses  supérieurs encourage sa passion pour l'Égypte antique, en lui facilitant avancement et congés. D'autres « bonnes fées » ne manquent pas autour du jeune homme : sur recommandation d'un ami de Charleville, L'Hôte rejoint le groupe de la Revue encyclopédique sans pour autant, semble-t-il, y figurer comme auteur. Le directeur de la Revue, Marc-Antoine Jullien  lui fait rencontrer Jean-François Champollion, son voisin lors d'un dîner terminant la réunion mensuelle des rédacteurs. Champollion, qu'il séduit par ses connaissances et à qui il présente dessins et manuscrit du Cours d'archéologie. Ainsi se tisse une relation, parfois orageuse, mais qui durera jusqu'à la mort du tout premier déchiffreur des hiéroglyphes, auquel le jeune Nestor voue une véritable dévotion, quand il ne le trouve pas insupportable.

Au cours de trois expéditions successives, Nestor L'Hôte réalise une œuvre considérable, en partie publiée de son vivant ou peu après sa disparition, mais dont l'essentiel ne se trouvera exhumé qu'en 1957. Le peu de célébrité de Nestor L'Hôte en dehors du cercle des égyptologues s'explique aussi par une disparition précoce : atteint de dysenterie dès le deuxième voyage en Égypte, il est contraint de se faire rapatrier en France lors du troisième, et il meurt à Paris le , à 37 ans. Et les efforts importants déployés par son frère Édouard L'Hôte ne suffiront pas à réellement permettre la diffusion de ses travaux.

Première expédition : sur le Nil avec Champollion (1828-1830)
Peu de temps après sa rencontre avec le savant, Nestor L'Hôte devient membre dessinateur de l'expédition franco-toscane en Égypte, que prépare Champollion : cofinancée par le roi Charles X et par le Grand-duc de Toscane Léopold II, l'expédition est dirigée par Champollion et comprend Ippolito Rosellini de l'université de Pise, professeur de langues orientales et auteur trois ans plus tôt d'un ouvrage sur le procédé de traduction des hiéroglyphes par Champollion, un médecin et dessinateur : Alessandro Ricci, Antoine Bibent, architecte auteur de travaux sur Pompéi, deux naturalistes Giuseppe Raddi, Gaetano Galastri un mathématicien : Gaetano Rosellini, oncle de Ippolito et plusieurs dessinateurs : Giuseppe Angelelli, Salvatore Cherubini, Alexandre Duchesne, Albert Bertin, Pierre-François Lehoux, etc. et Nestor L'Hôte. Enfin, Charles Lenormant profite de sa position d'inspecteur des Beaux-arts pour être du voyage.

Le Moniteur du , décrit les participants français, avec le style de l'époque : « Préparés de longue main à cette exploration scientifique, se confiant avec toute raison aux lumières et au caractère de leur chef, protégés partout par le nom vénéré de leur Roi, ils ont quitté la côte de France, le  dernier, sur la corvette l'Églé ». Une fois arrivé à Alexandrie, Champollion confirme l'organisation : « (...) Mon départ pour le Caire est définitivement arrèté pour demain, tous nos préparatifs étant heureusement terminés, (...) chacun ayant sa part officielle d'action pour le bien de tous. Le docteur Ricci est chargé de la santé et des vivres ; M. Duchesne, de l'arsenal ; M. Bibent, des fouilles, ustensiles et engins ; M. Lhôte, des finances (...) ».

Dans leur ouvrage : Sur le Nil avec Champollion, Diane Harlé et Jean Lefebvre font revivre le détail de l'expédition, avec les yeux et la plume de Nestor L'Hôte, en puisant dans son journal et sa correspondance familiale, pour l'essentiel adressée à ses parents.

Les jeunes dessinateurs sont d'emblée ravis par les merveilles orientales du Caire, puis s'adonnent aux premiers travaux de relevés (Gizeh) avant que toute l'expédition, et un canon, ne s'embarquent dans deux navires à voile triangulaire, pour remonter le Nil. Non sans multiplier les arrêts qui sont autant d'occasions de relevés : Saqqarah, Minieh, Béni-Hassan, Antinoé et El Tell (Amarna), Siout, Saouadjé, Panopolis, Girgé, Denderah, Keft. Et enfin, Thèbes : « Je vous écris depuis la plus ancienne et la plus magnifique capitale du monde (...) ».

Les sites de Louxor et Karnak donnent lieu à une première série d'illustrations, mais seront de nouveau traités au retour, car le voyage reprend vers l'amont et la première cataracte du fleuve : Herment (Hermonthis), Esna, El-Kab, Edfou, Gébel Silsileh, Kom Ombou (Ombos) et enfin Assouan, le franchissement en barque de la première cataracte, et la splendide île de Philae, qui ravit L'Hôte : « nous avons quitté ma chère île de Philae ; je lui ai fait un éternel adieu, mais je l'ai toute entière dans mon souvenir, j'en connais tous les recoins, et mon portefeuille est garni de ses plus beaux sites ».

C'est alors la Nubie avec les sites de Kalabcha (Talmis), Dakké, Maharraqa (Offendina), Ouadi es-Séboua (Per-Amon), Derr, Ibsamboul pour les deux temples d'Abou Simbel, puis, à l'extrême sud du voyage et le passage à l'an 1829 : Ouadi Halfa et la deuxième cataracte. Dans le petit temple de la reine d'Abou Simbel : « On peut même admirer, à l'égal des chefs-d'œuvre grecs, la puissance et la finesse avec lesquelles l'artiste égyptien a rendu, dans les figures de la reine, les contours et le modelé de la nature. Rien de plus vrai ni de plus gracieux que le galbe des hanches et du bassin, dont les formes sont admirablement senties sous la robe serrée qui les recouvre sans les altérer ».

Retour, porté par le courant du Nil, avec arrêt dans les sites déjà visités et travaillés, mais aussi de nombreux autres : Ibrim, Amada, Gerf Hussein, Dendour, Beit el-Ouali, Kertassi, Débod. Et de nouveau : Philae, et la descente vers Thèbes.

« Nous avons été jusqu'à présent fort occupés, nous le serons moins à Thèbes parce que nous devons y séjourner longtems et que l'on mettra dans le travail plus de mesure et d'ordre qu'il n'y en a eu jusqu'à présent. C'est du moins ce que promet Mr Champollion qui s'est montré, en conscience, trop exigeant ; mes trois collègues sont outrés contre lui, parce qu'il leur avait promis plus de la moitié de tems pour eux, condition qu'ils avaient exigée pour venir, tandis qu'il les fait piocher sans relâche. Quant à moi, je fais mon affaire et je vais mon train ; je contente tout le monde (...).  J'ai pris mon franc-parler avec Mr Champollion, à qui je parle franchement quand il est ridicule ; nous n'en sommes que meilleurs amis. Entre nous, Mr Champollion, hormis les hiéroglyphes et les sciences où il est extraordinaire, est du reste irréfléchi, enfant, ignorant les convenances et les égards, en un mot, incapable de conduire une expédition ».

Ce passage de lettre, comme de nombreux autres de son journal ou des lettres aux parents, éclaire l'ambiance parfois désastreuse au sein des membres de l'expédition, manifestement soumis par leur chef à des exigences transgressant les engagements préalables, sans doute non contractualisés. Ce qui ne fera qu'empirer par la suite, quand la date du retour en France ne cesse de reculer. Mais contrairement à ce qu'écrit L'Hôte ici, il semble participer activement à l'esprit de révolte, voire la susciter, avec un caractère parfois irascible (qui s'applique aussi très injustement à sa famille). Peut-être un double-jeu dans sa relation avec le Maître... Jeanne Vandier d'Abbadie note que : « en dépit de son enthousiasme, de son ardeur au travail et de l'admiration profonde qu'il portait à Champollion, il avait une nervosité maladive qu'il n'arrivait pas à dominer, et son caractère détestable suscita, plusieurs fois, des ennuis à son maître. (...) Heureusement, Champollion semble avoir ignoré cette irritation ; il en aurait été d'autant plus affecté, qu'il aimait plus particulièrement ce compagnon dont il appréciait la vive intelligence, le tempérament ardent et original, l'enthousiasme et l'étonnante puissance de travail. Il était, évidemment, de tous ses collaborateurs, celui en qui il avait le plus de confiance et qui, par ses connaissances égyptologiques, lui était le plus utile ».

Ombos, Gebel Silsileh, Edfou, El-Kab, Esna, Tôd, et, de nouveau Thèbes et Louxor, avec encore ses deux obélisques, Karnak. Travaux très pénibles dans les nombreuses tombes de la Vallée des rois, comme ils avaient été pénibles dans le grand temple d'Abou Simbel dont l'accès se faisait en rampant dans un boyau étroit. Cependant, le plaisir l'emporte sur la fatigue : « Mais le tombeau le plus joli, le plus élégant de tous ceux de la vallée, c'est celui du roi Ousiréi (...). C'est un bijou ! Je croyais en y entrant pénétrer dans le boudoir de nos plus élégantes Parisiennes ; rien de comparable au fini précieux de la sculpture, à la fraîcheur et à la délicatesse des peintures, à la recherche et au bon goût des ornemens (...) ».

Gournah et le Ramesséum : « La fatigue et l'ennui de l'hiéroglyphe, la chaleur et les autres inconvénients n'ont aucunement nui à mes travaux, j'ai pu tout concilier, et mon portefeuille ne m'aura coûté que cinq ou six quintaux de sueur et deux ou trois livres de chair. Je commence à être un peu fatigué et je suis bien aise de voir la campagne s'avancer. Dieu ! que l'hiéroglyphe est ennuyeux, qu'il est accablant ! Nous en avons tous une indigestion ; tout le monde se relâche et ne travaille que par raison, par devoir. » Deux jours après, c'est le plaisir d'assister à un mariage, et de le décrire : « La mariée ne paraît point dans ces cérémonies, et dès le jour de ses noces elle est étrangère à la société, c'est un être accessoire, une espèce de meuble ; c'est l'homme qui se marie, ce n'est point la femme (...). Ce n'est pas en Orient que les femmes sont heureuses ! ». Mais les hommes ne le sont guère plus, selon L'Hôte, et le fellah moins que tout autre, dans un régime qu'il écrit tyrannique, où tous oppriment tous.

Son ami Alexandre Duchesne quitte l'expédition le . De leur amitié témoigne le croquis représentant Nestor dans la tenue locale que Champollion et ses compagnons ont adoptée depuis Le Caire : « Ci-joint mon portrait croqué en quelques minutes de Duchesne ; c'est comme vous voyez une figure un peu maigre, mais c'est assez cela, et j'y reconnais ma physionomie bien frappante – je désir que ce croquis vous arrive sans vinaigre et sans coupure de canif ».

L'Hôte et ses compagnons pensent quitter l'Égypte dès le mois d'octobre, mais l'attente d'un navire se prolonge pour de multiples raisons qui d'abord excèdent L'Hôte. C'est cependant l'occasion de parcourir et de croquer Rosette et le Caire en tous sens, d'en dresser le panorama depuis la citadelle, sur autorisation expresse du Pacha, Méhémet Ali. Les jeunes dessinateurs, L'Hôte, Bertin et Lehoux, se focalisent finalement sur le projet de « rapporter en France le panorama le plus magnifique qu'on ait jamais fait », au point même de laisser Champollion embarquer sans eux (il prend la mer le ). Celui-ci leur écrit depuis Alexandrie :

« Son Altesse Sérénissime le Pacha (...) m'a témoigné hier au soir le vif désir de posséder son portrait et celui d'Ibrahim Pacha, tracés par vos doctes pinceaux. (...) J'ai donc cru pouvoir répondre de votre empressement et de votre zèle, et il est convenu qu'à votre arrivée, son Altesse posera le tems nécessaire. Distribuez-vous donc les rôles pour jouer la pièce vite et bien. Arrivez donc, broyez vos couleurs, lavez vos pinceaux et venez recevoir le premier hommage qu'un Pacha n'ait jamais payé aux Beaux-Arts ! C'est une révolution en faveur de la peinture. Vous avez l'honneur de la consommer ».

Mais les trois dessinateurs privilégient la réalisation du panorama du Caire, et les multiples démarches de préparation de leur propre retour. Le Pacha devra attendre ! Ils embarquent finalement à bord de La Comète le  pour partir le 26 et arriver à Toulon le .

Après l'expédition franco-toscane (1830-1838)
Après la quarantaine de rigueur, du fait de la peste, L'Hôte retrouve Champollion, ses amis parisiens, puis sa famille, du repos, et enfin son emploi dans l'administration des douanes, non sans avancement. Vertement tancé par Lenormant pour son mauvais caractère et ses écarts de conduite vis-à-vis du chef de l'expédition, il aurait reconnu et regretté ceux-ci. Il aide Champollion, d'abord Conservateur au Louvre, puis à la Bibliothèque royale, au classement des antiquités ramenées d'Égypte.

Et avec Cherubini et Lenormant, L'Hôte est présent chaque jour d'une terrible semaine, pour accompagner son illustre maître, gagné par la maladie, jusqu'à sa mort (le ) qui le plonge dans un véritable désespoir.

Dans ce contexte vient la publication anticipée de l'ouvrage de Rosellini (Monumenti dell'Egitto e della Nubia), présentation séparée des travaux résultant d'une part de la rupture entre ce dernier et le frère aîné du défunt, Jacques-Joseph, qui se constitue légataire de son œuvre, et, d'autre part, de la volonté de Léopold II, soucieux de tirer sans tarder les fruits de son investissement dans l'expédition.

Une commission ministérielle, comprenant Jacques-Joseph Champollion, Lenormant et Letronne, est nommée pour achever la publication posthume du livre de Champollion Monuments de l'Égypte et de la Nubie, qui intègrera un nombre important de planches dues à Nestor L'Hôte.

Nestor L'Hôte publie chez Leleux en 1836 un ouvrage de circonstance, coïncidant avec l'érection place de la Concorde d'un des deux obélisques qu'il a tant de fois dessinés à Louxor. Il publie également plusieurs articles et prépare les manuscrits d'une grammaire copte.

Deuxième voyage (1838-1839)
La rédaction du livre de Champollion ayant mis en évidence de nombreuses lacunes, qui avaient été reportées à un voyage ultérieur, Nestor L'Hôte est candidat à un nouveau départ, et, à la demande de Jean-Antoine Letronne, successeur de Champollion à la chaire d'archéologie, il est missionné à cet effet par le ministre d l'Instruction Publique, Narcisse-Achille de Salvandy. Il s'agit cette fois d'une expédition solitaire, qui démarre sur le sol égyptien d'Alexandrie le . Ses Lettres écrites d'Égypte en 1838 et 1839 sont adressées principalement à ses commanditaires, Salvandy et Letronne.

L'Hôte se rend directement à Thèbes, Gournah et dans la Vallée des Rois : « Cette vallée, où renaissaient pour moi de tristes mais précieux souvenirs, semble avoir pris un air d'abandon, une teinte de mélancolie plus austère et plus profonde que jamais. J'ai mis mon lit à la place qu'occupait le sien, et ma pensée se plaisait à faire revivre son image ; que ne pouvais-je de même évoquer le génie qui l'a immortalisé !  ».

Atteint d'une grave dysenterie, Nestor L'Hôte doit subitement regagner Le Caire. Il profite de sa convalescence pour enfin tenir l'engagement de Champollion au Pacha : en faire le portrait. Ce sera une représentation grandeur nature sur un premier tableau, à cheval sur un deuxième : « Je suis assez flatté de cette circonstance, qui me met ainsi de moitié dans l'accomplissement d'un fait qu'on peut dire unique dans les annales de l'Orient, d'un prince musulman se faisant peindre grandeur naturelle, en présence des grands qui l'entourent et en dépit des lois du Koran ; il est vrai que Mehemet Aly n'y regarde pas de si près, et qu'il donnerait, pour un régiment de plus, tous les korans du monde et leurs commentateurs ».

Une fois remis, il retourne en Moyenne Égypte, notamment à Amarna où il met en évidence la rupture provoquée par la nouvelle religion monothéiste d'Akhenaton. Puis Thèbes et Karnak, où il constate et dénonce combien les antiquités disparaissent vite, entre deux voyages. Sur tous les sites visités, il réalise de nombreux moulages. De nouveau, une crise de dysenterie oblige à un retour précipité au Caire, puis en France qu'il regagne le , après un passage à Rome qu'il vaut à tout prix découvrir. Mais on constate, à l'arrivée à Marseille, que des infiltrations d'eau dans la cale du navire ont détruit l'ensemble des empreintes ou moulages qui y étaient entreposés. Les dessins et documents sont intacts, mais la plupart faisaient référence aux empreintes et n'ont plus d'intérêt véritable.

Troisième voyage (1840-1841)
Non sans hésitation, du fait de l'état de santé de L'Hôte, le nouveau ministre de l'Instruction Publique, Abel-François Villemain, le missionne pour un troisième voyage qui débute le .

Après avoir de nouveau effectué des relevés à Gizeh et Saqqarah, où il découvre un cartouche d'un pharaon inconnu : Ousekaf, il prend la direction de la Haute Égypte : Thèbes, el Kab, Edfou et enfin Philae. Copies d'inscriptions du sanctuaire d'Isis dans le temple de Behbeit el-Hagara, ainsi que des dessins du texte gravé au linteau des portes du petit temple rupestre de Sikayt. Il dessine quelques-unes des stèles-frontières qu'il découvre dans le désert avoisinant Tell el-Amarna. Partout de nouveaux moulages ou estampages. L'Égypte a encore changé du fait des circonstances internationales, l'autorité du Pacha est affaiblie et les étrangers qu'il protège sont en butte à l'hostilité de la population. L'Hôte est soumis de même à la mauvaise volonté et aux vols de ceux qu'il emploie, ce qui s'ajoute à la fatigue. Il se lance cependant dans un aller-retour exténuant vers la mer Rouge à partir d'Edfou, puis un deuxième aller-retour de 17 jours, tout aussi fatigant, vers les mines d'émeraude et le port de Bérénice, qui le déçoivent profondément.

Une satisfaction pourtant lors du retour au Caire, avant de quitter ce pays définitivement le  : il vient d'être promu au grade de chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur.

Sentant probablement que le temps lui est compté, L'Hôte s'affaire à exploiter sa moisson dès le retour à Paris. Mais une pleurésie, compliquée d'une fièvre cérébrale, met fin à l'entreprise : comme son illustre maître, Nestor L'Hôte meurt à Paris très peu de temps après le retour d'Égypte, le . Il a presque 38 ans.

L'œuvre de Nestor L'Hôte

C'est dans l'ouvrage cité de Diane Harlé qu'on trouve expliqué le parcours des 5 à 600 dessins et aquarelles disparus avant que le Musée du Louvre en fasse l'acquisition en 1957, ceci à partir d'un  premier dépôt confié par Édouard, frère de Nestor, à Letronne afin qu'ils soient remis à la Bibliothèque nationale... ce qui sera fait un siècle plus tard, et de multiples décès et successions ayant transformé le don en vente.

Regroupés en deux albums, ces originaux sont aujourd'hui numérisés sur Gallica. On peut y constater la précision des relevés topographiques, des relevés d'hiéroglyphes et de leur compréhension, la qualité des aquarelles ou des dessins paysagers...

Pour Christiane Ziegler, Conservateur en chef chargée du département des Antiquités Égyptiennes du Musée du Louvre : « Témoignage vivant et passionné, l'œuvre de Nestor L'Hôte se veut aussi inventaire scientifique. Inventaire graphique des sites reproduits avec une maîtrise exceptionnelle, dans le respect des proportions, des perspectives et des formes, selon une technique que seule égalera, bien plus tard, la pratique photographique du grand angle. Inventaire écrit, enfin, au fil des pages, dans une description minutieuse des sites traversés, témoignant souvent d'une réelle culture archéologique ».

Pour Jeanne Vandier d'Abbadie, épouse de l'égyptologue et ancien conservateur en chef de ce département du Louvre Jacques Vandier, et à qui on doit d'avoir, la première, tiré l'œuvre de Nestor L'Hôte de l'oubli : « Son talent de dessinateur était réel, ses esquisses précises étaient tracées d'un trait sûr et élégant. Ses sérieuses connaissances des hiéroglyphes lui permettaient de copier les inscriptions sans erreur, ce qui lui donnait une supériorité sur les autres dessinateurs de la mission ».

Nestor L'Hôte : semeur de vocation chez un jeune cousin

« De toute façon, les efforts de Nestor L'HÔTE, son travail épuisant n'auront pas été perdus puisqu'ils sont à l'origine d'une des plus illustres vocations égyptologiques. Le père de Nestor L'HÔTE, en effet, qui finissait sa carrière à Boulogne-sur-Mer, comme inspecteur principal dans les douanes, chargea un de ses jeunes parents de classer les papiers rapportés d'Égypte par son fils. Ce jeune homme, en étudiant ces documents, fut pris d'un tel enthousiasme pour l'égyptologie, qu'il y consacra toute sa vie. Il s'appelait Auguste MARIETTE. Lorsque plus tard, MARIETTE créa le Musée du Caire et le Service des Antiquités d'Égypte, il dut souvent penser aux lignes navrées et indignées que son cousin avait écrites sur les disparitions criminelles des antiquités et il dut souvent associer à son œuvre la mémoire du compagnon de CHAMPOLLION. (...) Ainsi, ce prolongement de son œuvre, son œuvre elle-même et toute sa vie contribuent à faire de Nestor L'HÔTE une des figures les plus attachantes de l'égyptologie à ses débuts »

The city is offering a free online course to help Calgarians become better prepared in case of an emergency or disaster.
The free interactive course, called Ready Calgary, explains the essentials of emergency preparedness, covering such topics as knowing the risks, making an emergency action plan, and building a 72-hour kit.
"The eLearning course outlines simple preparedness actions Calgarians can take now to help themselves during an emergency or disaster, and allow first responders to help others who are more vulnerable," the city said Monday in a release.
The course should take about 40 to 60 minutes to complete.

"This is us saying we've done a lot of work co-ordinating and collaborating within the city, and now we're asking the public to pick up their part, and prepare themselves," said Tom Sampson, chief of the Calgary Emergency Management Agency.
"So, know the risks, know the risks in your community, it helps you identify those. Make an action plan, not just for yourself but for your family."
