The Balance In Bangkok, the poor and the elites The relationship between the poor and the rich, somewhat a delicate unstable balance of envy, anger, and to a large extent, submission to what 'cannot be changed' in their lives. Bangkok. A twisted, suffocating metropolis that absorbs the diverse traditions and lifestyles of modern and ancient practises. You can find just about every nationality, even stateless, in Bangkok. A hub for the homeless, and those seeking an escape from poverty. I've been here since 19 Sept. The people. Life in the slums is held in balance by the desire to survive.

Translation procedures, strategies and methods 1. Introduction ranslation typically has been used to transfer written or spoken SL texts to equivalent written or spoken TL texts. In general, the purpose of translation is to reproduce various kinds of texts—including religious, literary, scientific, and philosophical texts—in another language and thus making them available to wider readers. If language were just a classification for a set of general or universal concepts, it would be easy to translate from an SL to a TL; furthermore, under the circumstances the process of learning an L2 would be much easier than it actually is. The difference between an SL and a TL and the variation in their cultures make the process of translating a real challenge. 2. The translating procedures, as depicted by Nida (1964) are as follow: Technical procedures: analysis of the source and target languages;a through study of the source language text before making attempts translate it;Making judgments of the semantic and syntactic approximations. 2.1.

Libye : Tripoli entre doute et colère après le vote de l'ONU Un mélange de colère, de fatalisme, de doute et d'incrédulité. Voilà à quoi ressemble, vu de Tripoli, la réaction des kadhafistes au vote par le Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies, peu après minuit, de la résolution 1973. D'abord, la fureur, illustrée de manière tapageuse par l'irruption, ce vendredi vers 1H30 du matin, d'une centaine de partisans du Guide de la Jamahiriya dans l'hôtel Rixos, QG des médias étrangers et théâtre d'une conférence de presse du vice-ministre des Affaires étrangères Khaled Kaïm. Courroux spontané de jeunes patriotes du quartier, comme le soutient un traducteur du Bureau libyen de l'Information? On est en droit d'en douter. Le fatalisme, c'est celui de ce chauffeur de taxi au coeur de la nuit tripolitaine: "Les menaces et les sanctions, lâche Khaled, on a l'habitude. Volte-face Le doute, quant à lui, affleure jusque dans les propos -en apparence contradictoires- des figures de proue du clan Kadhafi.

Roast Turkey | Turkey Recipes Method In my books, the perfect bird is 6.5kg– 8kg in weight because that's a good size to handle, feeds about 10 to 14 people and has better flavour than bigger birds. If you're buying from a small producer, like the lovely turkey I used from my mate Paul Kelly, you'll often find these birds come with their own cooking instructions. Really good-quality birds do cook in a shorter time so follow the instructions if it has them. This year I'm using a flavoured butter to give a bit of extra love to my turkey, and this is a job you can do the day before. Get your turkey and use a spoon to work your way between the skin and the meat. Take your turkey out of the fridge a few hours before you are ready to put it in the oven so it has time to come up to room temperature. Open up the neck cavity and pack as much stuffing as possible in there, then carefully pull the skin back over the cavity, tuck it under the bird and pop it in the roasting tray.

‘Worst’ Thai floods kill 224, threaten Bangkok 05 October 2011 :: 10:10:33 am [ 2,835 views ] Authorities were meanwhile battling to stop the floods reaching the centre of low-lying Bangkok, as forecasters warned of more wild weather to come. “It’s the worst flooding yet in terms of the amount of water and people affected,” said an official at the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation who preferred not to be named. Two months of flooding have inundated 58 of 77 provinces — with 25 still severely affected — and damaged the homes or livelihoods of millions of people, according to the government. Wat Chaiwatthanaram, one of Ayutthaya’s best-known temples, has been closed to visitors after a makeshift dyke was breached at the former capital, a popular tourist destination north of Bangkok. “The water level inside the temple grounds is now 1.50 metres (five feet),” said Supoj Prommanoch, head of the Fine Arts Office in Ayutthaya. The northern city of Chiang Mai, another popular tourist destination, has also been badly hit. Tags :

Kadhafi sous la menace de frappes aériennes Cessez-le-feu Muammar Kadhafi a-t-il senti le vent du boulet ? Jeudi soir encore, le Guide libyen au pouvoir depuis quarante-deux ans promettait une offensive « sans pitié » aux 700 000 habitants de la ville rebelle Benghazi (est). Il a radicalement changé de ton, hier midi. Ce cessez-le-feu « immédiat » a été décrété alors qu'un compte à rebours était engagé. Ultimatum Ce premier recul de Kadhafi n'a guère convaincu les Occidentaux : « Nous jugerons les actes, pas les paroles », déclarait, hier, le Britannique DavidCameron, annonçant l'envoi d'avions de combat Tornado et Typhoon. Barack Obama assurait, hier soir, que « des opérations militaires seront lancées » si Kadhafi ne se conforme pas à la résolution. L'attitude de Kadhafi sera examinée à la loupe lors d'une réunioneuro-arabe, aujourd'hui, à Paris. Survols Quand la zone d'interdiction aérienne décrétée par l'Onu, sera-t-elle opérationnelle ?

Translating official documents February 11, 2010 by Corinne McKay Over the years, I’ve observed that many translators are somewhere between lukewarm and downright scornful of translating individual clients’ official documents: birth certificates, educational transcripts, diplomas, drivers’ licenses, you get the picture. I think that a lot of experienced translators view this as “beginner’s work” or not worth their time, so they take it off their range of services. Official documents are not a huge component of my freelance business, but they do total a few thousand dollars of income every year for me and the work is painless and gratifying. Here are a few reasons I think it’s worth including official documents in your range of services, and a few tips on how to do it successfully. Translating official documents is appealing because: It’s lucrative. And a few tips for setting your official document translations up for success: Like this: Like Loading... Related
