Fnac

Fnac is a large French retail chain selling cultural and electronic products, founded by André Essel and Max Théret in 1954. Its head office is in Le Flavia in Ivry-sur-Seine near Paris. Fnac is an abbreviation of Fédération Nationale d’Achats des Cadres ("National Shopping Federation for Executives").

Core values

The company's founders, André Essel and Max Théret were both part of France's Young Socialist movement. Fnac was founded in 1954.

Fnac holds "forums" throughout the year, which are opportunities for customers to have dialogue with people such as Pedro Almodóvar, George Lucas, and David Cronenberg, discussions with authors including Paul Auster, Pierre Bourdieu, and Françoise Giroud in addition to concerts. Musicians playing in these concerts have included Yann Tiersen, Ben Harper, Keane and David Bowie.

Each year a "Book Fair" is held with discussions among writers, politicians and the public. Topics related to literature, culture, society and the sciences are discussed. Since 2001 the company has also annually presented an award, Le prix du roman Fnac, whose winners are chosen by a panel of booksellers and members. Dominique Mainard, Pierre Charras and Pierre Péju are among those who have won. These events are shown on the company website fnaclive.com (in French).

  • Fine-needle aspiration cytology, a diagnostic procedure used to investigate lumps or masses under the skin
  • Fnac (Fédération Nationale d’Achats des Cadres), French chain store
  • FNAC (rifle), a variant of the FN SCAR assault rifle
  • Fonds national d'art contemporain, a public collection of contemporary art in France.
  • FN SCAR

    The Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle (SCAR) is a gas-operated (short-stroke gas piston) self-loading rifle with a rotating bolt and a firing rate of 625 rounds/min. It is constructed to be extremely modular, including barrel change to switch between calibres. The rifle was developed by FN Herstal (FNH) for the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) to satisfy the requirements of the SCAR competition. This family of rifles consist of two main types. The SCAR-L, for "light", is chambered in the 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge and the SCAR-H, for "heavy", fires 7.62×51mm NATO. Both are available in Long Barrel and Close Quarters Combat variants.

    The FN SCAR systems completed low rate initial production testing in June 2007. After some delays, the first rifles began being issued to operational units in April 2009, and a battalion of the US 75th Ranger Regiment was the first large unit deployed into combat with 600 of the rifles in 2009. The US Special Operations Command later cancelled their purchase of the Mark 16 (or MK 16) SCAR-L and planned to remove the rifle from their inventory by 2013. However, they will continue to purchase the Mk 17 SCAR-H version, and also plan to purchase 5.56 mm conversion kits for the Mk 17, supplanting the loss of the Mk 16.

    ENGLISH TRANSLATION :
    second hand minute hand 'didadida' in heart
    My eyes gleam blinking so emptily
    My heartbeat 'putongputong' rhythmically beat
    I ask myself want you love you how deeply
    I want to live and endeavour with you how recklessly fast
    My heart goes up and down rhythmically pulsing
    Wu...
    tomorrow i'm marrying you
    tomorrow i'm marrying you
    If it isn't everyday traffic bothers all of my dreams
    (if it isn't the night that blackout only discover my empty loneliness)
    Tomorrow i'm marrying you
    tomorrow i'm (finally) marrying you
    If it's not you propose to me
    If it's not you advise me
    If it's not the suitable time you moved my heart
    (But I'm just at this moment terrified)
    秒针分针滴答滴答在心中
    我的眼光闪烁闪烁好空洞
    我的心跳扑通扑通地阵阵悸动
    我问自己要你爱你有多浓
    我要和你双宿双飞多冲动
    我的内心忽上忽下地阵阵悸动呜...
    明天我要嫁给你啦
    明天我要嫁给你啦
    要不是每天的交通烦扰着我所有的梦
    (要不是停电那一夜才发现我寂寞空洞)
    明天我要嫁给你啦
    明天我要(终于)嫁给你啦
    要不是你问我
    要不是你劝我
    要不是适当的时候你让我心动
    (可是我就在这时候害怕惶恐)
