FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY... "Disparition" - roughly pronounced diss-pah-ree-see-ahn - technically translates as ‘disappearance’, but it has an extra usage in France that might confuse English speakers. In French, 'disparition' is defined as ‘the act of going missing or fading away’. It also means to ‘no longer exist’, and in this sense, it is often used to talk about death in a polite or euphamistic way. After the death of a famous figure in France, you will often see newspapers headline with the phrase 'la disparition de' followed by the person’s name. It is similar to saying ‘the passing of’ in English when talking about death. If they were of particular importance, the team at the Elysée (French presidential palace) may send out a press release about a 'cérémonie d’hommage' (a tribute) for the person following their 'disparition'. Confusingly, you will also see people use 'disparition' to mean ‘disappearance’ in the sense that someone or something is now missing or not able to be located. Unlike many French words or phrases, there are no grammatical clues to follow here - 'disparition' is used in exactly the same way whether you're talking about a person who has gone missing or a person who has died. As such, you will need to read further in the French article to get necessary context to figure out if the person has died or if they are missing. Use it like this: La disparition récente du fils de Charles de Gaulle a donné lieu à de nombreuses commémorations en ligne. - The recent passing of Charles de Gaulle's son has given rise to many commemorations online. La police a publié des mises à jour sur la disparition de l'adolescente, mais nous n'avons toujours pas beaucoup d'informations. - The police have issued updates on the disappearance of the teenager, but we still don't have much information. europeanamericantravel.com

Every wonder when you have been told a history again and again, and it is said to be true. But then it turns out to be not very based on reality. Bits can be true, but the most important part is missing. I give you an example: If you read the House of Commons. Committee to Enquire into the Burning of London from 1667 with the title "A true and faithful account of the several informations exhibited to the hounourable committee appointed by the Parliament to inquire into the late dreadful burning of the city of London together with other informations touching the insolency of popish priests and Jesuites ..." It covered that it was 300 frenchmen that did the arson of the London in 1666. Not an accident started in the bakery. What we are let believed by historians from academia. Frenchmen was moved first from France to Stockholm, Sweden. And then on the Swedish ship named Skipper, just before the fire in England. One thing to notised, was that Kings Life-Guard under King Charles II demanded the caughted french arsonists to be released.? When the Londoners did not want to do so. The Kings Life-Guards directed weapons toward those who hold the arsonists. One important reason why the arsonists was imported. The arsonists do not have any relevance, nor empathy for the affected one. This methode can we see still use today. Just wonder if historians from academia just like to tell an recirculated story, not keen to check and tell what really happens. In this case, the facts has been available for over 350 years. Why? Can it be ideology are more important for the historians from academia? And how many other stories historians from academia tell, that's not true?

Text Memory Akeel Abboud Dedication: To Friends of Old Times Spaces carried by the story of a time tired of the characteristics of old age. A repetitive novel whose doors are knocked by sadness and dominated by nostalgia, views that live with the nature of this world full of turmoil, and life is the connecting line between the archived existences with the scent of memory through the echoes of scenarios waiting for their place in the space of the scene, while the beginning is a description of titles that were retrieved in a breakable world. The past and the present are a set of numbers moving in the circle of this extension where opposites gather, sometimes intersect and sometimes meet, and remain like this so that they do not die. The eighties, like the seventies, are models of spaces that were prepared in a way that enabled them to reveal that brilliance that did not lose its luster, but rather added something to the wrinkles of that history, like my friend who still clings to the throne of his flowing theater before he bid farewell to life according to the phenomenon of migration, and for this reason the intervals that limit the times are considered a set of bridges surrounded by walls. The invisible here represents that space that cannot announce its subjects, but it will become part of a project, and this project remains as wonderful as the splendor of my friend who is still present in the circle of the text.

Recently, I gave a speech in English at an important event, where I informed international partners about civilians abducted by Russia. I prepared my speech using all the advice I usually give to my clients. After my speech, a record number of people approached me. "Your speech was very clear; we understood how we could help," they said, handing me their business cards. I'd like to share specific tips for those preparing to speak to European and American audiences. 1. Time Management: I understand that there's a lot you want to say, but there’s always a time limit, and people start to get restless if you exceed it—especially international audiences. 2. Define Your Call to Action: Before you start preparing, decide what you want people to do after hearing your speech. It shouldn’t be just "think about it" or "raise awareness." Be specific about what action you want them to take. 3. Limit Key Points: Focus on 2-3 main points at most. It's easy to want to cover everything, as everything feels important, but listeners can get overwhelmed with too much information and might miss your key messages. 4. Know Your Venue: Sometimes the location makes a big difference. My event was in a church, so I emphasized how Russia has abducted and tortured priests. 5. Avoid Overloading with Numbers: Prepare additional statistics as handouts or supplementary material, but only share the most impactful numbers. Help people visualize them. For example, if you’ve had 10,000 requests for help, say that and compare it to the population of a small town in the country where you're speaking.

The Word of the Day Today is: Lèse-majesté layz-MAJ-uh-stee\? ? noun. Lèse-majesté (less commonly spelled lese majesty) can refer to a true crime or offense, or to something likened to a crime or offense. Most often, it’s the latter, with lèse-majesté referring—seriously or playfully—to an act of disrespect that diminishes the dignity or importance of someone or something. In the former use, lèse-majesté refers to a crime (such as treason) that is committed against a sovereign power, or to an offense that violates the dignity of a ruler as the representative of a sovereign power. ….Their less-than-formal attire at the wedding was regarded in jest as lèse-majesté…. Examples: "The graphic novelist Posy Simmonds has won the Grand Prix at France's Angoulême International Comics festival—the first time a British artist and author has been awarded the world's most prestigious prize for lifetime achievement in comics. … "I wanted to take the story of Madame Bovary but update it and it would be my story," she said. "When it was published in French, I was rather frightened. I was worried it would be seen as lèse-majesté that I had appropriated this great French classic. But they really liked the book, which was wonderful." — Angelique Chrisafis, The Guardian (London, England), 24 Jan. 2024 Did you know? Lèse-majesté (or lese majesty, as it is also styled in English publications) came into English by way of Middle French, from the Latin laesa majestas, which literally means "injured majesty." The English term can conceivably cover any offense against a sovereign power or its ruler, from treason to a simple breach of etiquette, but lèse-majesté has also acquired a more lighthearted or ironic meaning, referring to something that insults or shows disrespect, especially to a particularly pompous or self-important person or organization. As such, it may be applied to a relatively inoffensive act that has been exaggeratedly treated as if it were a great affront.

1-31-24 : Mother, Maria Magdalena, & Sananda Sekhmet , by Eli Galla https://lnkd.in/gJW3WFG4 My Dear Beloved Brothers & Sisters. It is I, Sekhmet. I am very happy to be here once again on this Beloved conference call. Beloveds, yes, so much is transpiring energy-wise, and event-wise on your Beloved Planet. Beloveds, you can feel into the energies that are shifting very rapidly, right now. Enough of the Truth has been exposed to open up the doors of consciousness into the collective consciousness of Humanity for Beloved Beings to really take notice of how all of these events that seemingly came up from nowhere are connected. And this of course in the United States has very much to do with this sham Presidency unfolding in the way that the Cabal had designed to carry out their agenda of a one world order. They, the Cabal, wanted to eliminate a majority of Humanity, and although they tried, and were very obvious about it, and heavy-handed. It has not gone the way that they projected that it would. So now they are scurrying around trying to find ways, that will put them back on track for having this amount of complete control over Humanity that they covet so very desperately. Their agenda of making the Human species a transhumanist race is not being allowed to happen. Instead, the Truth of who they are, how their machine of domination works, and what is at the core of it, which is very heinous, is coming out. And when you have 2 impeachment proceedings going on at the same time. This is groundbreaking, we would say. This probably has never happened before. Definitely not in the way that it is happening now, because both of these events are related to one another. The politicization of the agenda of what is supposed to be the bastion of justice in this country is being shown to be an utter nightmare for Humanity.
