About us Members of the EUATC are national associations of translation companies established in any European country. In order to encourage genuine national representation and co-operation, only one association per country can become a member. In countries where more than one association of translation companies exists, the associations are encouraged to work together to further the unity and strength of the industry. In countries where no association exists, the General Meeting may agree, by unanimous decision, to approve the membership of an individual company for a period of one year. During this period, the EUATC will help that company to promote the creation of an Association of Translation Companies in that country. Members are entitled to send two delegates to the General Meetings held twice a year (although each country has only one vote). Anita Hostnik
From EFL learning theories to EFL teaching practice: Activating action research 1 I use the term ‘scientific research’ rather than the term ‘research’ in order to separate it from a (...) 1As humans, we carry out some form of research from a very young age. Even as babies, every new object we taste or feel is a form of experimentation as we try to understand the world in which we live, and our relation to it. We continue to experiment all our lives. We observe, we draw conclusions, we form hypotheses, and then we test the hypotheses to see if they are valid. 2Scientific research, on the other hand, follows certain rules of methodology, data collection and publication that take it beyond and above our ‘everyday research’. 31. 42. 53. 64. 75. 86. 97. 108. 11To get straight onto the right track, and also to save a lot of time, our action researcher would do well, prior to elaborating his experimentation, to refer to existing theory and research in the field that interests him. 14Action started prior to action research at INH2. 17or Narcy:
How to Backpack Europe Alone & on a Budget Good morning! Hope everyone is having a nice chill Saturday like me. Yesterday I returned from one of my routine trips to the Netherlands (I go there 2-3 times a year because of my studies). So I decided to do a travel post! Travelling used to be essential to my life. My best trip so far was in the summer of 2012, when I went around Mediterranean Europe for two months. Europe is one of the most expensive places to travel, but also one of the safest & easiest. Budget I started out with a budget of about 500 Euro per month. How? To reduce costs further, you can also hitchhike. I was also careful with my expenses – no eating out, only basic food from the cheapest stores; no souvenirs or extra purchases, only the most needed clothes and shoes. Bottom line: – 1000 Euro per month Tourist budget: hostel + transport + average expenses. – 500 Euro per month Traveler budget: free lodging (couchsurfing or tent) + transport + basic expenses. Planning I did not plan anything but my route! Transport 1. 2.
Ciclo da Reciclagem: o lixo gerando novos produtos - Ecologia e Meio Ambiente - Ser Melhor Rosemeri não sabe que o isopor que protege sua nova máquina de lavar pode ser reciclado. Paula guarda lâmpadas fluorescentes queimadas em casa, pois não sabe se elas podem ou não ser recicladas. Lurdes compra por semana em torno de 8 caixas de suco e leite em embalagens longa vida ou Tetra Pak, mas não sabe que pode destiná-las para reciclagem. Talvez você, assim como elas, também esteja cheio de dúvidas quanto aos processos de reciclagem de cada tipo de material e é este o objetivo deste artigo, mostrar, de forma simplificada, alguns dos processos aplicados na reciclagem de papel, aço, alumínio, plástico e outros. Muitas famílias hoje dependem da indústria da reciclagem. Neusa Maria faz parte de um processo enorme que envolve pessoas, indústria e sociedade e que imita o próprio funcionamento do planeta em seus ciclos de criação e destruição, que funcionam há muitos bilhões de anos. Hoje a indústria da reciclagem está em um estágio tecnológico bem avançado. Latas de Alumínio Resultado:
Stress Relief During Exams - Teen Yoga & Mindfulness Being a teen is stressful. From academic pressure, to hectic social schedules, and trying to prepare for life after school, teens have a lot on their plates. Things can really seem to pile up this time of year with the stress of exams looming. Stress can manifest itself in multiple ways, from mental turmoil to physical pain. Many of our Teen Yoga students were happy to find that participating in the class helped to aid the symptoms of stress, and help them learn strategies to manage their stress on their own terms. So, to help remind our students how to de-stress and keep calm in the next few weeks, we’ve put together this guide for stress relieving yoga poses and mindfulness practice. Stress relieving yoga poses: Child’s pose: A wonderful relaxing pose that gently stretches the back while giving your whole body the chance to slow down and surrender. Mindfulness practices: Gradual Relaxation: Laying on your bed on your back start to relax your body one bit at a time.
La solución sueca para la prostitución: ¿Por qué nadie intentó esto antes? En un mar de siglos de clichés desesperados porque ‘siempre habrá prostitución’, el éxito de un país sobresale como un faro solitario que ilumina el camino. En apenas cinco años, Suecia ha disminuido drásticamente la cifra de mujeres dedicadas a las prostitución. En las calles de la ciudad capital, Estocolmo, la cantidad de prostitutas ha sido reducida en dos tercios y la de clientes en un 80 por ciento. En otras grandes ciudades suecas, el comercio sexual en las calles casi ha desaparecido. Adicionalmente, es nula la cantidad de mujeres extranjeras que ahora están siendo traficadas a Suecia para comercio sexual. La trascendental legislación sueca de 1999 En 1999, luego de años de investigación y estudios, Suecia aprobó una ley que: a) penaliza la compra de servicios sexuales y b) despenaliza la venta de dichos servicios. * El informe íntegro del gobierno de Escocia acerca de políticas sobre prostitución puede ser leído en www.scottish.parliament.uk

Information About Illegal Drugs & Alcohol Abuse - Drug-Free World I Haven't Made Any Trash In 2 Years. Here's What My Life Is Like My name is Lauren. I'm a 23-year-old girl living in NYC and I don't make trash. For real. No garbage bin, no landfill. Nada. I know what you are thinking. I didn't always live what some call a "zero waste" life. But I started making a shift about three years ago, when I was an Environmental Studies major at NYU, protesting against big oil, and president of a club that hosted weekly talks on environmental topics. Wrong. In one of my classes, there was another student who always brought a plastic bag containing a plastic clamshell full of food, a plastic water bottle, plastic cutlery, and a bag of chips. One day I was particularly upset after class and went home to make dinner and try to forget about it, but when I opened my refrigerator I froze. This was the first time in my life that I felt like I was able to look at myself and say, "YOU HYPOCRITE." Quitting plastic meant learning to make all of my packaged products myself. How did I go from zero plastic to zero waste? 1. 2. 3.
