Opportunity

Working with Ascent Certified Implementation partners and collaboratively with Tobii Dynavox leadership and process owners, Ascent was able to deploy an order and inventory management solution on Salesforce that increased the speed, visibility and ease with which the company delivers innovative solutions to customers. Visibility into inventory levels, device availability, device location, device condition, and customer trials status were requirements that have been achieved. Including an integration to upstream sales operations, as well as, downstream shipping and packing systems with label generation for a complete solution.

SAINTS OF THE DAY (February 17)

The Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order were seven men from the town of Florence who became bound to each other in a spiritual friendship.

The Seven Holy Founders are Saints Bonfilius, Alexis Falconieri, John Bonagiunta, Benedict dell'Antella, Bartholomew Amidei, Gerard Sostegni, and Ricoverus Uguccione.

They led lives as hermits on Monte Senario. They had a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

On Friday, 13 April 1240, the hermits received a vision of Our Lady.

She held in her hand a black habit, and a nearby angel bore a scroll reading "Servants of Mary."

Mary told them:

"You will found a new order, and you will be my witnesses throughout the world. This is your name: Servants of Mary.

This is your rule: that of Saint Augustine.

And here is your distinctive sign: the black scapular, in memory of my sufferings."

They accepted the wisdom of Our Lady, wrote a Rule based on Saint Augustine and the Dominican Constitutions, adopted the black habit of an Augustinian monk, and lived as mendicant friars.

The men founded the Order of Servites, which received the approval of the Holy See in 1304.

Servite, a Roman Catholic order of mendicant friars — religious men who lead a monastic life, including the choral recitation of the liturgical office, but do active work — founded in 1233 by a group of seven cloth merchants of Florence.

They are venerated on February 17 because it is said to be the day on which Saint Alexis Falconieri, one of the seven, died in 1310.

All seven were beatified on 1 December 1717 by Pope Clement XI. They were canonized by Pope Leo XIII on 15 January 1888.

The Heart of Compassion

Compassionate God,

your generous presence

is always attuned to hurting ones.

Your listening ear is bent

toward the cries of the wounded.

Your heart of love

fills with tears for the suffering.

Saint Juliana Falconieri

1270-1341

Feast Day: June 19

Patronage: bodily ills, sick people, chronic illness

Saint Juliana Falconieri was born into a noble Florentine family. Her father died when she was young and she was raised by her mother and Uncle Alexis, who was one of the founders of the Servites. At 15, she became a Servite Tertiary, dedicating her life to prayer, penance, and caring for the sick and those in need. Eventually, other women joined her and she founded the Servite Tertiary Sisters. When she was dying, she couldn’t receive the Eucharist in her mouth so the priest laid the host on her breast, and then it disappeared then she died.

Frenglish differences in Miraculous - Episode 12

Darkblade/Le Chevalier noir

"Le Chevalier noir" means "The Dark knight". I guess translating it literally would've lead to some copyright issues with Batman hahaha.

Nadja doing the news

En: Armand d'Argencourt, one of Bourgeois' opponents and a fencing instructor at Françoise Dupont High School, was pummeled in the polls. In fact, d'Argencourt acquired the least number of votes in Paris history.

Fr: Face à lui Armand d'Argencourt, professeur d'escrime au collège Françoise Dupont, recueille un pourcentage de voix extrêmement faible. Tellement faible que si l'on regarde les élections depuis 1977, aucun candidat n'avait...

Against him Armand d'Argencourt, a fencing professor at Françoise Dupont middle school, obtained an extremely low percentage of votes. So low that if we look at the elections since 1977, no candidate had... (her voice is muffled)

In recent history, the first mayor of Paris was indeed elected in 1977 (it was Jacques Chirac). However, there have been different times when mayor elections were held before that, including after the French Revolution of 1789 (there were 6 different mayors over the course of 5 years, including one who quit the very day he got elected because he had received too much threatening mail).

Marinette, asking Kim why he won't run for class president

En: So, what did Chloé say to you this time? She offered to go on a date with you?

Fr: Alors raconte, elle t'a dit quoi Chloé cette fois-ci ? Qu'elle ne sortirait jamais avec toi ?

So, tell me, what did Chloé tell you this time? That she would never go out with you?

Love how the English dub just said the absolute opposite of the French one.

Marinette when Alya asks her about her election program

En: Uh, I have no idea. I still can't believe I raised my hand.

Fr: Oh, j'ai pas encore réfléchi. Oh pourquoi je me suis mis dans un pétrin pareil ?

Oh, I haven't thought about it yet. Oh why did I put myself in such a mess (lit. in a kneader)?

In French, when you say you're in a kneading machine it means you're in trouble. It can be seen as a clever pun here since Marinette is a boulangerie girl.

Overall, the English dub is more about on the campaign and speech, when in French the focus is put on Marinette's program and how she's actually gonna represent the students once she's elected.

Armand d'Argencourt talking about his ancestor's story

En: Until he was overthrown thence by a wealthy Frenchman who used his dirty gold to buy the loyalties of the common people.

Fr: Jusqu'au triste jour où il fut renversé par un roturier, qui se servit de son or pour acheter la loyauté du bas peuple de Paris.

Until the sad day where he was overthrown by a commoner, who used his gold to buy the loyalty of the common/lower people of Paris.

Classist much?

Related to the previous point, d'Argencourt has a very old mannered way of speaking which is shown a little bit differently in French. He uses a tense called "passé simple" which is today only used in writing but never orally, except by old or very conservative/aristocratic people. He also uses very old mannered sayings. An example of that is at the end of the fencing class when he says "le cours se termine séance tenante", which could be translated as "the class ends forthwith".

Nadja's catchphrase

En: Don't be bemused, it's just the news.

Fr: Si vous voulez de l'info, j'ai ce qu'il vous faut.

If you want info, I have what you need.

"-fo" and "faut" are pronounced the same way in French, which makes her catchphrase rhyme.

Nadja, quoting mean comments about d'Argencourt to him

En: [...] That you're "stuck in the dark ages, like a stubborn old rusted battle axe".

Fr: [...] Que vous êtes "un fossile moyenâgeux" et que vous êtes "buté et complètement dépassé".

That you're "a medieval fossil", and that you are "stubborn and completely outdated".

D'Argencourt

En: Poisonous wretch.

Fr: Palsambleu.

Can't really translate that one, but it's a very old curse word. It comes from shortening "par le sang de Dieu", which literally means "by God's blood". Indeed, it used to be frowned upon to use God's name to swear, and the word was replaced by "bleu" (blue), of which the final sound is the same, as a euphemism. "Palsambleu" is today not used by anyone, and you can only find it in old comic theater plays.

Chloé to Sabrina

En: Why do I bother?

Fr: Roooh, t'es un vrai boulet.

Roooh (the sound French people make when they want to complain about something), you're a real "boulet".

I've explained before what boulet means, but it's interesting to notice that Chloé is using it for someone other than Marinette for once, especially considering that Sabrina is supposed to be her friend.

Marinette to Rose

En: Your cushions could be very pink.

Fr: Ton coussin pourrait être rose pailleté.

Your cushion could be glittery pink.

Can't forget about the glitter!!

Darkblade's knight

En: Listen or be imprisoned.

Fr: Écoutez-le ou vous serez embastillé.

Listen to him or you will be imprisoned in the Bastille.

The French language has a specific word to say "sent to the Bastille".

Chat Noir to the knights

En: Guys. Do you only know heavy metal?

Fr: Mais c'est qu'elles sont dangereuses les boîtes de conserve.

These tin cans sure are dangerous.

I can't translate the exact turn of words he uses there literally, but the point is that his pun is different as he calls Darkblade's knights tin cans.

Marinette after she sees Chat Noir get tackled by knights

En: Ouch! Cat Noir. Hurry.

Fr: Aie, alors ça ça doit pas faire du bien.

Ouch, this thing can't feel good.

French Ladybug is more compassionate lol.

A che sono servite dunque tutte queste pagine. Puntavo ad afferrarla, a riaverla accanto a me, e morirò senza sapere se ci sono riuscita. A volte mi chiedo dove s’è dissolta. In fondo al mare. Dentro un crepaccio o in un cunicolo sotterraneo di cui lei sola conosce l’esistenza. In una vecchia vasca da bagno colma di un acido potente. Dentro un fosso carbonario d’altri tempi, di quelli a cui dedicava tante parole. Nella cripta di una chiesetta abbandonata di montagna. In una delle tante dimensioni che noi non conosciamo ancora ma Lila sì, e ora se ne sta là insieme alla figlia.

(What is the point of all these pages, then? I intended to capture her, to have her beside me again,and I will die without knowing if I succeeded. Sometimes I wonder where she vanished. At the bottom of the sea. Through a fissure or down some subterranean tunnel whose existence she alone knows. In an old bathtub filled with a powerful acid. In an ancient garbage pit, one of those she devoted so many words to. In the crypt of an abandoned church in the mountains. In one of the many dimensions that we don’t know yet but Lila does, and now she’s there with her daughter.)
