On Saturday, Justice Antonin Scalia died at age 79. What happens now at the Supreme Court? In 2004, after Chief Justice William Rehnquist was absent from the court after an operation, Brendan I. Koerner asked what happens when the Supreme Court has eight justices. The original is reprinted below.
Despite his plans to the contrary, Chief Justice William Rehnquist has yet to return to the Supreme Court after his tracheotomy last week. Instead, according to an official statement released yesterday, the 80-year-old Rehnquist will be working from home as he recuperates. How will the court function in Rehnquist’s absence, especially if another contested election gets thrown its way?
Although he is confined to his house for the time being, Rehnquist can still participate in Supreme Court decisions. Justice John Paul Stevens, who is subbing as chief justice with Rehnquist gone, made this clear yesterday when he commented that his cancer-stricken colleague “reserves the right” to cast his vote in upcoming cases. That includes cases for which the chief justice isn’t physically present for oral arguments; he will rely on transcripts and written briefings instead.
A region differentiated by what occurs within it rather than by a homogeneity of physical or cultural phenomena; an earth area recognized as an operational unit based on defined organization characteristics is called functional region.

Explanation:
Answer:
Cuneiform was used as a form of record-keeping and it was picked up by the speakers of different languages. This helped to perpetuate it across different cultures. Today it is largely preserved on stone tablets whereas other exemplars of early languages were kept on more perishable materials like leather or papyrus.
Explanation:
Cuneiform was a language that many societies in the Ancient Near East had in common. The cuneiform style was so dominant that scholars have said that it is the script for the first half of recorded history. Even to this day, cuneiform tablets survive in great abundance. The cuneiform script was not in itself a language. Scribes from different cultures could decipher and use it to convey information in a number of languages and not just ancient Sumerian. Among them is the Semitic language Akkadian which was the lingua franca of the Assyrian Empire and for the Babylonians. The Rosetta Stone equivalent for cuneiform is Bisitun Pass in Iran. There there are inscriptions recorded in Persian, Akkadian, and an Iranian language known as Elamite. This allowed researchers to decipher repetitive words across the different languages like “Darius” and “king” and so they could eventually piece together the information that cuneiform conveyed.
