  Louis Philippe. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
In the July Revolution of 1830, Louis Philippe was made lieutenant general of the realm and, with the support of the marquis de Lafayette, was chosen “king of the French.” His reign, known as the July Monarchy, marked the triumph of the wealthy bourgeoisie and a return to influence of many former Napoleonic officials.
In the early years of his reign, Louis Philippe’s basically conservative outlook was strengthened by a number of workers’ demonstrations and by several attempts on his life, notably that of Giuseppe Fieschi (1835).
Louis Philippe was known as the “citizen king” because of his bourgeois manner and dress, and he and his regime were satirized by Honoré Daumier.

  Hurricane Philippe (2005) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philippe became a hurricane on September 18 and stayed as such for two days before increasing wind shear from a non-tropical system took its toll on September 20 and weakened Philippe into a tropical storm.
Philippe continued to weaken as it looped around this low and was absorbed by it on September 23.
Philippe continued to steadily strengthen, becoming a hurricane late on September 18 as it traveled north in a low-shear environment and some models suggested that this trend would continue and Philippe would go on to become a major hurricane.

 Philippe IV
Philippe IV, called "le Bel" or "the Fair", King of France, was the son of Philippe III and his wife, Isabella of Aragon.
The election was ultimately determined by the diplomacy and the gold of Philippe's agents, and the new pontiff, Pope Clement V, was the weak-willed creature of the French king, to whom he owed the tiara.
His wife was Jeanne, Queen of Navarre, through whom that country passed under the rule of Philippe on his marriage in 1284; three of his sons, Louis X, Philippe V and Charles IV, succeeded in turn to the throne of France, and a daughter, Isabella, married King Edward II of England.

 Philippe : History
Philippe's was established in 1908 by Philippe Mathieu, who claimed the distinction of having created the "French Dipped Sandwich." One day in 1918, while making a sandwich, Mathieu inadvertently dropped the sliced french roll into the roasting pan filled with juice still hot from the oven.
Philippe's was forced to move to make way for the then new Hollywood-Santa Ana 101 freeway, and in 1951 relocated to the present location, which was a machine shop with a hotel on the second floor.
Philippe's "French Dipped Sandwich" is the specialty of the house and consists of either roast beef, roast pork, leg of lamb, turkey or ham served on a lightly textured, freshly baked French roll which has been dipped in the natural gravy of the roasts.

 FL&L @ MIT: Programs & Projects   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Philippe quickly needs to find himself another place to stay and enlists the student's help in locating one.
This program takes a fundamentally different approach from the traditional one: it first immerses the user in a linguistically and culturally authentic world and then provides them with two sets of tools: tools to understand what people are saying, and also (and this is what makes this program unique) tools to function within the story.
It can be used in a self-instructional mode, but it is best used with students first working with the program in the language lab and then participating in the classroom, in collaborative activities which build upon their individual work.
