3) (=juego) billiardsGUERRA CIVIL ESPAÑOLA Spain's political climate was extremely volatile in the 1930s. The elections of February 1936 were won by a coalition of socialist and anarchist groups known as the Frente Popular or FP, and were followed by a period of social disorder. On July 18 of that year, General Francisco Franco led a military coup. In the ensuing war Franco's side was known as the Nacionales and the government forces as the Republicanos. Neither army was well-equipped, so foreign support was a decisive factor: the USSR sent aid to the Republicans and volunteers from all over Europe formed Brigadas Internacionales (International Brigades) to fight for the Republican side. Fascist Italy and Germany sent troops and weapons to Franco. The fighting was bitter and protracted, and the Nationalists' superior firepower finally triumphed. The war ended officially on April 1, 1939, when Franco proclaimed himself Jefe del Estado, a position he held for the next 36 years.See:ver nota culturelle FRANQUISMO in franquismo* * *1) (Mil, Pol) war2) (fam) ( problemas) trouble, hassle (colloq)* * *= war, warfare.Ex.

•* * *corriente11 = tide, draught [draft, -USA], groundswell, flow, stream.Ex: What has happened is that yet another institution has so overlapped with our own that we are being swept along on the tide of the technological revolution.
Ex: Perhaps the sociological light was extinguished by the political draught of the time.Ex: The groundswell of movement towards integrating previously unrelated technologies and markets is now gathering a reasonable head of steam.Ex: The vocabulary used in conjunction with PRECIS is split in two sections, one part for Entities (or things) and the other for Attributes (properties of things, for example colour, weight; activities of things, for example flow, and properties of activities, for example, slow, turbulent).Ex: Voters felt the stream of news coming out of London had little to do with ordinary people.* agua corriente = running water.* con corrientes de aire = draughty [drafty, -USA].* corriente abajo = downstream.* corriente + arrastrar = wash up.* corriente arriba = upstream.* corriente de agua = water body [waterbody].* corriente de aire = air current, draught [draft, -USA].* corriente de chorro, la = jet stream, the.* corriente en chorro, la = jet stream, the.* corriente oceánica = ocean current.* corriente sanguínea, la = bloodstream, the.* llevarle la corriente a Alguien = play along with.* seguirle la corriente a Alguien = play along with.corriente22 = stream, electricity supply, mains electricity.Ex: If no such standards can be observed then, it would seem, romantic fiction along with westerns and detective stories must be regarded as some sort of cul-de-sac and rather stagnant backwater quite separate from the main stream of 'literature'.
Ex: Europe and Australia (where experimental transmissions have been going on for some time) have a 50 Hz electricity supply, 625 line transmissions, and two non-compatible colour systems, PAL and SECAM.Ex: Every electrical appliance that connects to mains electricity has a fuse, usually in the plug.* adaptador de corriente = power adapter, mains adapter.* cable con corriente = live wire.* corriente alterna = alternating current (AC).* corriente eléctrica = electrical current, electric current, electrical power.* Corriente Eléctrica Ininterrumpida (CEI) = Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).* corte de corriente = power cut, power failure.* corte de la corriente eléctrica = power failure, power cut.* luchar contra corriente = labour + against the grain.* regulador de corriente = current regulator.* seguridad contra corrientes eléctricas = electrical security.* toma de corriente = outlet, socket, socket outlet, light socket.* transformador de corriente = mains adapter, power adapter.corriente33 = trend, strand, current, movement.Ex: Current trends favour cataloguing practices which can be applied to a variety of library materials.
