Ten 'untranslatable' French words translated
Post Date: 2013-11-04 05:53:39 by Tatarewicz

Local, France French is a difficult language for us expats to learn and if the grammar rules, false friends and tongue-twisting pronunciations weren't taxing enough, things are complicated further by a number of words and expressions that are 'untranslatable'. Here are ten to look out for, along with our interpretations. Have you ever read a French word and struggled for what seemed like an eternity to come up with the English translation, before giving up in frustration? Well you're not alone and perhaps you were not to blame. The simple fact is that French is home to many words and phrases that just don't translate easily into English, if at all. This is naturally ...

George Noory welcomed lawyer and medium Mark Anthony for a discussion on the devil, evil spirits and hell. The devil exists but not in the way organized Christian religions have taught," he said, noting how the idea of a supernatural entity who controls people and is the central command of evil is primitive and contradicts monotheism. According to Anthony, the devil is a convenient scapegoat for frightening individuals into conforming to a particular dogma and for concealing the truth that evil is generated entirely by the human ego. "The devil is the evil that exist within all of us... we don't need a jerk with a pitchfork to motivate us to commit horrific acts of brutality, ...

Poster Comment:I met all of the Highwaymen in Chicago way back when we were working concert security for extra money. Now, Waylon and Johnny are dead and from what I hear, Willie can't pick since the arthritis got his hands. They wanted me to follow Kris Kristofferson out of the building to make sure no body messed with him. I was following him up the stairwell. When he got to the top, he turned around and looked at me. I told him it was cool. They wanted me to follow him out. It brings a tear to my eye. I worked many great shows all over the country, including Woodstock '94. It was the road trip from hell because of the bus crash on the way home. Many of my friends were medevaced ...

Ouija & Talking Boards: Historian and expert on Ouija and Talking Boards, Robert Murch, was joined by collector and author, Brandon Hodge, to discuss the rich history of the Ouija Board and earlier spirit communication devices (see images). Before the Ouija became synonymous with talking boards, there were numerous other boards and devices dating back to the 1800s (in fact Murch said he has some 500 items in his collection). In the 1800s, talking boards were an accepted pastime, and were especially popular after the Civil War, when so many soldiers died, Murch detailed. It was only after the 1973 film The Exorcist connected the idea of demonic possession with the use of the Ouija board ...

Science Daily Oct. 31, 2013 — Find a space with total darkness and slowly move your hand from side to side in front of your face. What do you see? Share This: If the answer is a shadowy shape moving past, you are probably not imagining things. With the help of computerized eye trackers, a new cognitive science study finds that at least 50 percent of people can see the movement of their own hand even in the absence of all light. "Seeing in total darkness? According to the current understanding of natural vision, that just doesn't happen," says Duje Tadin, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester who led the investigation. "But this ...

If you check a book out in Copperas Cove, Texas, you best make darn sure you return it. Failure to do so could result in a trip to the big house. Jory Enck learned that the hard way when he was recently arrested over a book, a GED study guide, that he checked out and failed to return three years ago, KEYE reports. The city ordinance was passed because some patrons weren't responding to requests to return their library materials. "The reason they passed it was that they were spending a tremendous amount of money replacing these materials that people just didn't return," Bill Price, the city's municipal judge, told KEYE. Enck was released on a $200 bond. KEYE ...

Comments from Dave Schectman (owner of Miles Franklin)... "...There are people who are close to me who refuse to even listen to what I have to say about our government, the economy and the state of the nation. They think I am too negative and too angry. They think the information they get from the main stream media is more credible than what I have to offer. Oh is that so? Well, I have learned that it is difficult, if not impossible to change the way people think and that's that! How any rational person can listen to the arguments and data we present and think we are all wet is beyond me! I don't get it, but I do get it. It's not me, it's not us, and it's them. ...

Mars Anomalies: On Monday's show, author and secret space program researcher, Mike Bara, discussed anomalies and artifacts on Mars, which he believes stem from a vast, technologically advanced civilization that may have vanished in a solar system wide cataclysm, possibly of their own making. The tidal model of Mars demonstrates that the planet was actually a moon of a planet that formerly existed in the orbit where Mars is now, he argued. He further suggested that another planet existed between Mars and Jupiter (as in Tom van Flandern's Exploded Planet Hypothesis). These two former bodies in our solar system were likely Super Earths, "very large rocky terrestrial planets about ...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- U.S. comedian Jimmy Kimmel, who hosts ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" show, has apologized for an offensive skit in which a kid suggested they should "kill everyone in China" as a way to solve the U.S. debt problem. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I apologize," said Kimmel. "It's most certainly not my intent to upset anyone," Kimmel said in his show broadcast Monday night. "There seemed to be a lot of people upset with me today, more upset than usual," because "on the show a couple of weeks ago, I was talking to a group of 5- and 6-year-old kids, about a bunch of things, and during that ...

In the first hour, genomic researcher Craig Venter talked about his work creating synthetic lifeforms. He explained that the idea came about after his team converted genome data into digital form and then they pondered whether they could reverse the process and "recapitulate life from that point" using chemicals in a lab. In 2010, they successfully created a complete bacterial chromosome via this process, producing "the world's first synthetic cell." Although the procedure is still in the early stages of development, Venter marveled at the positive potential applications which could arise from this process in the future. That said, he lamented that the public is ...

Conspiracies, Cover-Ups, and Crises: Peace activist, webmaster and talk show host, Michael Rivero, discussed a variety of controversial topics including TWA 800, the JFK assassination, health and environmental issues, and an impending financial crisis that is facing the world. On the subject of TWA 800, Rivera put forward that the tragedy was caused by an errant missile, that was launched during a Navy exercise, rather than a fuel tank accident. "To any objective observer," Rivero said, "this is absolutely another case of the government screwing up badly and refusing to take responsibility for it." To that end, he mused that the job of maintaining cover-ups, like TWA 800 ...
