Becoming a better translator
My goal as a translator is to be continually improving.
If you're satisfied with your current skills, then you're not improving. And if you're not improving, you're stagnating.
As I see it, there are seven main areas where we can improve or expand as translators.
- Target-language ability
- Source-language ability
- Subject expertise
- Translation ability
- New field
- Soft (people) skills
- Sales and marketing skills
I try to be improving in at least one of these areas at all times.
1. Target-language ability
I read extensively in my target language. I pay attention to good writing, and ask myself why it's good.
I also write outside of translation. This was the main reason why I started this blog — to force myself to write natural English without the tether of a Japanese source text.
2. Source-language ability
I've been studying Japanese for a while, and as these things go I think I've learned it fairly well. But compared to a native Japanese speaker, there are so many gaps in my knowledge that it's embarrassing.
I can't let myself get complacent about my Japanese abilities, because if I do then I'll stop progressing. There's actually a term for this in the second-language acquisition lingo: fossilization.
I try to push myself in Japanese, reading in new topics, writing in Japanese as much as possible, and speaking with new people. I'm always on the lookout for new turns of phrase or expressions. I've also got a touch of the "translator's curse": constantly asking myself how I would translate some particularly idiomatic bit of Japanese into English.
3. Subject expertise
I'm actually fortunate in that I work professionally in the field I translate. Even so, my knowledge is incomplete. I'm not working full time in my field, and there are so many sub-fields and specialties that there's no realistic way I can become an expert in all of them.
So while I need to continually study in my chosen field of specialization, I also need to maintain humility when dealing with the engineers who work in some niche field day in and day out. Even if their English ability is sub-par, I can learn from them on the technical side.
4. Translation ability
No matter how good your grasp of the source and target languages, if you can't accurately reproduce the effect of the original, then you're not a translator; you're just a bilingual.
I look for good translations, and study them. When I read English, I'm on alert for pithy turns of phrase that can work for tough-to-translate Japanese terms. As I mentioned above, I also have the translator's curse: always thinking about how I would translate a particular Japanese phrase, and critiquing translations I see. It makes it very hard to enjoy subtitled movies, but it does put me in the mindset of thinking about translation.
Degrees and other courses in translation are one way to improve in this area. I'm sure that they can be valuable, although I'm personally self taught (notwithstanding, I've actually taught a few seminars on translation myself). If I were to do some postgraduate study now, I'd much rather go for a degree in a technical field like intelligent systems than a degree in translation. But it's certainly a viable alternative.
5. New field
In addition to deepening your knowledge of fields where you already specialize, you could branch out to a new field. It could be a small step — for example, expanding from automobiles into construction machines — or it could be a big step, like moving from finance to biochemistry.
A medical translator once offered to show me the ropes of medical translation. She was earning roughly twice what I was, working less, and was booked out for 6 months or more at all times. So it looked like a pretty good gig. But after about my third rat study, sacrificing poor little furry animals and examining the tumors that had been induced in various organs, I figured I'd stick with software, where mice only get clicked, never sliced.
6. Soft (people) skills
This is an incredibly important, yet oft-overlooked skill. Being pleasant to work with; projecting yourself as an expert without seeming cocky; projecting yourself as a professional without seeming like a jerk. I know it sounds corny, but I found How to Win Friends and Influence People (Carnagie) to be a valuable book on improving people skills.
7. Sales and marketing skills
As they say, you can have the best "skillz" in the business, but if nobody knows about them you might as well not have bothered. Sales and marketing skills can help you get your name at the top of the list, and be waiting in the wings when that next big project comes in.
I think that being the quintessential technocrats, a lot of translators are adverse to marketing. I know I was/am. Whenever I think of salespeople or marketers, I can't help picturing something along the lines of Glengarry Glen Ross.
But one of the great advances of the Internet age is that it's now very easy to market yourself without resorting to scumbaggery. Instead of the Glengarry Glen Ross approach of tricking people into buying your services, you can market yourself simply by putting your CV online, blogging, handing out business cards.
My final word of advice would be to look at the list above, and choose the area you'd least like to work on as one of your targets for improvement. We tend to like to work on things we're already good at, and let others languish. So the area you're least interested in improving is probably the area where you need the most improvement. For me, it's a toss-up between people skills and marketing. How about you?

EXCLUSIVE: Val Chmerkovskiy and Normani Kordei Talk Perfect 'DWTS' Score Despite Her Injury
Val Chmerkovskiy and Normani Kordei are clearly the pair to beat this season on Dancing With the Stars.
The duo's incredible Argentine tango earned them a perfect score on Monday night after continuously coming close to it, and ET caught up with the pair to get their glowing reactions.
"I've been waiting on it," Kordei told ET's Cameron Mathison and our special correspondent, DWTS season 21 champ Bindi Irwin.
WATCH: EXCLUSIVE: Normani Kordei Opens Up About Fifth Harmony, Joining Her Onstage for 'DWTS' Performance
Chmerkovskiy was also touched by judge Len Goodman's kind words after the dance, after Goodman previously held off on giving them a perfect score.
"It feels awesome, it's nice to finally build a relationship with someone I've listened to for the last seven years," Chmerkovskiy noted. "And it's nice for him to validate my work as a teacher and her work as a performer."
The perfect score is even more impressive given Kordei experiencing serious back and hip pain -- though you wouldn't know it from the way she danced.
"It all fell into place," Kordei said. "It happened the way it was supposed to, so I'm grateful."
"I just have to remind myself this is fun, this is something that I've always wanted to do, and I only have one shot to do it," she continued about her injuries. "It's been a struggle. I'm a lot better than yesterday even. I had some therapy earlier, and I've been icing it and taking a bunch of medicine, so I'm in the process [of healing]."
Of course, there's no rest for the competitive duo.
"First of all, we want to make it to the finals, we're not there yet," Chmerkovskiy stressed. "Once we do, we just want to do a performance that captures our energy and spirit. I think it should be fun. I think it should be a celebratory performance. And I think hopefully by then, we would have done every other genre where we could afford ourselves to come out and just have a blast."

Awareness helps to save lives...Breast Cancer Ireland are keen to promote education and awareness amongst women of all ages.
It's a myth to think that Breast Cancer only happens to women over a certain age! Breast Cancer can happen to women young and old. Thanks to the speaker who came in to talk all about breast cancer and its early stages. We are now fully aware of all the symptoms.
The speaker introduced herself and her equipments. She went through the presentation she had prepared. The presentation included a lot of useful information. We found out that breast cancer affects 1 in 9 women. She read out the instruction on how to get the breast cancer app and how it works. We got to touch the mannequin which was helpful as you get a sense of feeling of what exactly you are looking for and what is normal around the area.
I found the talk very beneficial because I now know how to check for breast cancer symptoms. I discovered a new app which I intend to use regularly. I know 8 warnings to look out for and how to do the breast examination and how often should one do it.

text: Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Parkinson's Why is CPT interested in the impact of oxidative stress and inflammation in Parkinson's? In recent years, there has been some considerable interest in the role of free-radical damage or oxidative stress and how the body responds to inflammation, in the Parkinsonian brain. These 'stressor' factors create an environment in the brain which is not conducive to normal function and signs of oxidative damage have been shown to appear long before brain cells - neurons - actually degenerate in Parkinson's(PD): Oxidative stress is essentially an imbalance between the production of highly chemically reactive substances in cells and the ability of the body to counteract or detoxify their harmful effects, resulting in cell damage or death. Inflammation is the body's attempt at self-healing; the aim being to remove harmful substances, including damaged or degenerated cells and begin the healing process. When something harmful affects a part of the body, the biological response to try to remove it results in the signs and symptoms of inflammation. Strong evidence now exists to support a role for abnormal mitochondrial activity and increased oxidative stress, in the cause, development and effects of PD. A complex interplay occurs between mitochondria and other cellular complexes that affects cell survival, as mitochondria not only have a key role in cell energy production, but they are also the main cellular source of free radicals. Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to increased oxidative stress. Oxidative damage to lipids, proteins and DNA as well as a decrease in the levels of the important intra-cellular antioxidant glutathione, has been detected in post mortem PD brain tissue. These findings provide a plausible link between oxidative damage and the formation of abnormal aggregates of protein that are characteristic of PD, as oxidative damage, it is thought, induces alpha-synuclein clumping and impairs the proper degradation of the proteins. What are oxidative stressors? Oxidative stressors are more commonly known as free radicals. These are highly reactive and potentially very damaging molecules which can be produced by normal chemical reactions in the body or absorbed from outside sources (such as cigarette smoke, pollutants or ingested toxins). Free radicals only last for very short periods of time in the body, but have the potential to do damage to cells during that time. Specifically, free radicals are molecules which have an odd number of electrons, either one too many or one too few. This causes the molecules to become unstable and very reactive, and in an attempt to address this electron imbalance, the free radicals then react with other neighbouring molecules. This process, known as oxidation, is thought to cause damage known as oxidative stress to tissues, cells and neurons. How does this process relate to Parkinson's? Dopamine-producing cells in the substantia nigra region of the brain appear to be particularly at risk from free-radical production and damage and it is these dopamine cells which degenerate in Parkinson's. There is also some evidence that oxidative stress may cause or contribute to Parkinson's itself (1): for example, people with PD have been found to have increased levels of iron in their brain (2), especially in the substantia nigra. Iron is a powerful agent of free-radical damage - it can intensify oxidative stress if it is in a free or unstable state. Normally, a cell will use a protein called ferritin to surround the iron (a process known as iron chelation), this prevents the iron from stimulating oxidative stress, but levels of ferritin are also found to be lower in the brains of people with PD. Antioxidants (also known as free-radical hunters) maintain some control by offering themselves as easy targets to 'mop up' the free radicals. Antioxidants are chemicals produced by the body or absorbed from the diet which neutralise the effects of free radicals. Antioxidants stabilise lone free-radical molecules and make them stable enough to be transported to an enzyme, which combines two stabilised free radicals together to neutralise both. The brain contains multiple antioxidant defences. However, the level of one of the body's own powerful intra-cellular antioxidants, glutathione, has been shown to be reduced in the brains of people with Parkinson's (3). How is CPT shaping its research around oxidation and inflammation? Substantial evidence from brain tissue, cell growth and animal models of PD along with the analysis of human genetics support the involvement of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in Parkinson's progression and development. Mitochondrial dysfunction due to oxidative stress, mitochondrial DNA mutations during replication, altered mitochondrial structure and the interaction of pathogenic proteins such as a-synuclein with mitochondria all result in dopaminergic neurodegeneration. Thus, therapeutic approaches targeting mitochondrial dysfunction and related oxidative stress may hold significant potential in the treatment of PD. A number of antioxidant compounds have received specific attention from researchers and CPT is funding some promising studies here. Several have shown promise as neuroprotective agents: The Simvastatin trial The Deferiprone trial The NAC trial See also Dr Kambiz Alavian's research (Imperial College, London) - 'Identification of new drugs to improve neuronal energy production for treatment of PD' in our 'Preclinical projects' section.

Collection of Stories about Cows, Cattle and the Dairy Princess of America- Book by C.R. Lindemer
Top Ten Review from MidWest Book Review for Christine Lindemer & True Cow Tales – see the review here
True Cow Tales, an original anthology written and edited by C.R. Lindemer and published by Dog Ear Publishing, introduces us into the world of cows. These gentle giants have been living alongside humans for centuries, providing us with milk, meat and companionship. In fact, there is a long tradition of swapping stories and anecdotes about cows that has stayed mainly within the world of dairy and cattle farmers; stories that are humorous, heartwarming, sometimes scary and sometimes sad. Lindemer has collected these stories and reminiscences from sources all over the country and put them together in a volume titled, True Cow Tales.
Get ready for stories about favorite cows with names like "Sugar" and "Hoogey", funny stories about cows who wander off or suspenseful episodes with bulls. You will also read about the Dairy Princesses, beautiful young women who love cows and who spend a year promoting the dairy industry. They even have their likeness carved in butter! There is a section of poetry dedicated to cows including works by Robert Louis Stevenson. Scattered throughout the book are photographs and drawings of contributing authors with their bovine companions as well as the Dairy Princesses in all their grandeur.
For many of us who only encounter these ordinary yet magnificent creatures at state fairs or when driving though farm country, True Cow Tales provides a rare glimpse into another world. This book will also be popular with those who are more familiar with the bovine culture, and who truly know about their nature. This book will bring back fond memories for anyone who has ever lived on a farm or worked alongside dairy cows and cattle.
True Cow Tales has something for everyone, whether you have never even heard of 4-H or you have spent your life taking care of these wonderful and often overlooked animals. After reading this book, you might find that you loved cows more than you realized!

I made perfect hard boiled eggs the other night.
For those of you who do not know me well, know this: making hard boiled eggs is a challenge for me. I do not do well when I cook something and the only instructions are "1) Put the something in a pan. 2) Add water to the pan. 3) Put on stove. 4) Cook until done."
I cannot cook foods boiled eggs or rice for several reasons. I get impatient and I peek and poke and prod and stir. I get distracted and let things boil dry. I fail to add enough water. I add too much water. I add unnecessary ingredients.
I'm a lot better at "no cook" recipes and desserts, especially anything baked. Which is weird as it seems to be the reverse for others – they can make staples but are intimidated by baking.
But last night, I did it. I paid attention. I sat back and waited for the boil. I set a timer when I turned off the heat and remembered to use a lid. And my eggs came out perfectly set. I feel like I am the first person in history to perfect the process. (Not even remotely, thanks Martha.)
I'm learning attentiveness and patience. That's my goal for the new year.
That and to learn to make rice without a rice cooker.
I am so far from perfect… and it's okay. I am Ruth-at-this-moment. Perfected.
So tell me, what did you perfect this week? What will you perfect in the new year?

I came across this quote from Coco Chanel this weekend and loved it some much I had to share it with you. It's so amazingly true! We can get so caught up in "being something" we lose sight of who we are, our place in the world, and what makes us happy.
Happy Monday!

Dalai Lama falls ill in Bodhgaya
Tibetan spiritual leader, The Dalai Lama, fell ill in Bodhgaya, around 110km from here, on Saturday leading to the cancellation of his discourse he was scheduled to deliver.
He is recuperating at the Gaden Phelgyeling Monastery, where doctors who accompany the spiritual leader on tours are attending to him.
"Guruji (The Dalai Lama) wanted to leave for Kalchakra Maidan at 8.15am for his discourse, but suddenly he began to feel tired and unwell. So he changed his mind and decided to rest. It has been very cold here for the past couple of days and there is a danger of him catching cough and cold," Gaden Phelgyeling Monastery's monk in-charge Amji Baba told The Telegraph.
Amji said that The Dalai Lama was being "attended to by his personal doctors, who include western and Tibetan ayurvedic specialists".
"We hope he will recover by Sunday to complete his sermons and rituals pertaining to the consecration of various gods and goddesses of one of our sects," he said.
The Dalai Lama, 78, is in Bodhgaya for a retreat since December 16 and will remain there till January 8.
In Bodhgaya, he is delivering sermons and taking part in various rituals and events.

" … how the 99 percent do book releases."Molly Fischer, Capital New York
De Grote Donorshow, a hoax TV program presented as a reality show, stands as one of the most effective and unique public awareness campaigns in recent years. The premise of the show was that a terminally ill woman would donate her kidney to the most worthy person of a group of people needing kidney transplants. She would make her selection based on how the contestants answered a series of questions, much like a dating program. Viewers were able to weigh in via text message on whom they thought should receive the lifesaving kidney.
Even before it was aired, the show provoked much heated discussion. Soon media across the Netherlands and beyond were debating the ethics of waiting lists and the propriety of turning organ donation into public entertainment. On June 1, 2007, when the show finally aired, millions of viewers worldwide tuned in to watch.
The surprising twist to an already spectacular and highly controversial program was that it was all a hoax. Just before the alleged cancer patient was about to choose the lucky recipient of her kidney, the host announced that the "cancer patient" was actually a hired actor. The entire program had been staged to raise awareness about the insufficient number of organ donors in the country. He then announced that the people who were performing as competitors to receive a kidney were, however, real patients awaiting kidney donors.
Within a day, 30,000 donor registration forms were requested. A month after the show aired, 7,300 new donors were registered by the Dutch donor registration. In Denmark alone, 700 citizens registered as donors the day after the program was aired — fifteen times the average on a regular Saturday. The show won an International Emmy for non-scripted entertainment.
This stunt was successful because the TV network used its prestige as a broadcaster to send a powerful political message. The cautionary glimpse at how the future might look forced the viewers to reflect on their own agency as witnesses to the disgusting spectacle of people competing for organ donations.
The stunt worked by breaking the implicit contract between broadcaster and viewer to make clear distinctions between truth and fiction. What justified the prank is that while the show itself wasn't real, the issues that it addressed were. The act of deception served to expose a very real need that was not being met, with the spectators forced to confront their own agency to address the issue.
The hoax is not only an effective tactic to get an issue on the agenda, it is also capable of causing a type of embarrassment that not only provokes reflection, but forces us to reflect on our most deeply held beliefs and take action. It lures people in and exposes them to a subversive idea when they are most vulnerable. In this case, it also pointed toward a practicalway of responding to the issue it raised.
The real action is your target's reaction
Researchers and politicians who had been quick to denounce the show and lament its social implications were forced to revisit their initial diagnoses, thus offering useful metareflectionon the event, their own role as commentators, and the future of reality TV. Millions of ordinary viewers were forced to do the same.
A lot of people felt misled after the show, and the trustworthiness of the channel might have suffered, but the positive outcome cannot be denied. So a few questions remain: do the ends justify the means? and how do you weigh competing causes or principles? — both classical activist dilemmas.
The donor show gave journalists around the world an excuse to cover the critical lack of organ donors. Many important issues have the same strategic challenge: they are chronic problems rather than acute crises, and therefore do not live up to the criteria for what makes news. If you add an unexpected twist to a good story with a clear and provocative point, as the Big Donor Show did, you provide the hook the media needs.

I've been surrounded by discussions about violent video games over the past two days. With the tragic events at Virginia Tech people are searching for answers. And rightful so. Unfortunately, lawyer Jack Thompson drew a connection to video games on Fox News only hours after the event happened. Chris Matthews challenged Thompson's claim that video games caused the situation on Hardball. Even Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Phil have weighted in on this topic.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the families effected by this tragedy. The events of Monday gave the classes that I'm working with a lot to talk about. This week we started the violent video game research unit with 4 more English classes. The topic itself normally challenges the students, who are ready to provide anecdotal evidence on why violent games are not "bad." But with the heightened awareness of this week (4/20 being Columbine's anniversary), the students have a genuine interest in the topic. While some students argue that "of course they do" others are ready with story after story to disprove their claims. And proof is the essential lesson in this unit.
Using the evidence and looking at the proof, frustrates students who are used to having their opinion be enough proof. But I welcome that. I love their frustration and eagerness to challenge the topic. The focus of their paper is objective and evidence based. By hitting an emotional issue like this, it challenges them to remove themselves from the paper. The students are confronted with the hurdle of pulling their opinion out and solely focusing in a scholarly research. We are back at the process tomorrow and I'll give you an update.Photo by RichardAM

Time Inc. Now Selling Subscriptions Through the App Store
U.S. iPad owners can now subscribe to the iPad editions of all 20 of Time Inc.'s magazines through Apple's Newsstand, including InStyle, People, Sports Illustrated and Time, the company announced Thursday.
Time Inc. has been selling magazines on the iPad for almost as long as the two-year-old device has been on the market. Until now however, users were unable to subscribe to its magazines within the App Store. Instead, they had to subscribe to individual print editions through Time Inc. or a third-party vendor, and then authenticate those subscriptions through their respective apps. Some magazines, such as Sports Illustrated, deviated by offering bundled digital subscriptions on their websites, which permitted users to access content from a variety of connected devices.
Why didn't Time Inc. allow subscriptions to begin with? The company contested Apple's terms for the offering, which forbid the sharing of subscriber information with publishers. That information that is critical to Time Inc., which needs it to sell advertising packages.
Some publishers, including Conde Nast and Hearst, have bystepped this obstacle by asking users to opt-in with their information immediately after purchasing subscriptions in their apps. If users refuse, they may be prompted again to opt-in when they attempt to open certain features, like article bookmarking. A Time Inc. spokesperson told Mashable that the majority of customers have agreed to share their data with publishers via those methods; as such, the company now feels that "Apple understands our needs as publishers and we feel confident we can manage our subscriber base well," the spokesperson said.

I have about two chapters left before I type "The End" on the second novel in my new series. The first one, Paper Hearts releases early next year and this one, the one I'm <thisclose> to finishing releases a year later. Feels like a long time, doesn't it?
In this novel, and this happened quite by accident, my heroine is a people pleaser. She doesn't rock the boat. She likes when people like her. She does what she's expected. She becomes who other people want her to be. She forsakes her own dreams to make other people's dreams come true.
And she is miserable for it.
Guess where I got the idea for that character?
Yes, I am a recovering people pleaser.
I don't like it when people are upset with me--justified or not. I don't like conflict. I dwell. I stew. I think about injustices and develop defense strategies in my head for battles I'm not really fighting. It's a terrible way to spend your time, really.
I've learned, this year more than ever, that everyone has an opinion. Everyone has something to say about your choices, your vision, your goals, your dreams...have you ever noticed that? There are loud, loud people in the stands of your life, heckling you, challenging you, telling you all the reasons why something you're dreaming of can never, ever be.
And the crazy thing is, we listen to them! We listen to the critics, to the naysayers, to the ugly, ugly things they say--they get in our heads. We believe them. We think "They're right, this dream is stupid. Who am I to think I can start a business? Write a book? Go back to school? Change careers? Become a stay at home mom? Lose twenty pounds?"
Who am I to think there's something more for me out there than re-living the same day over and over and over again?
Who am I to want to make a difference? Who am I to want to change? Who am I to think I get to have a voice?"
Well, guess what. This year I've learned something about all those ridiculous questions the critics put in to our minds. I've learned that I am no one. On my own, I certainly do not have one ounce of anything good to offer.
But God...
Those people, the ones who call up the questions that haunt you in the middle of the night...the ones who are nice to your face but drag your name through the mud behind your back...the ones who make that face at the mention of your dreams...
Let's talk about them. These people you're trying so hard to please.
1. Are they out there pursuing their dreams? Are they fighting their own battles? Their own demons? Or are they sitting on the sidelines, eating popcorn, cozy and comfortable, watching everyone else go after what seems impossible, content to only comment on how everyone else is doing it wrong? How they disagree? How they could do it better...?
Because if they aren't out there fighting, if they're merely spectating...they don't get a say. They have no frame of reference, so why do they get to contribute to the conversation that influences your decisions?
2. Are they for you? I mean, really, one of the biggest "rules" (I think) of dreaming big is that you have to be very careful who you tell your dreams to. And then, when you're ready to tell that dream to the world, you have to be very careful not to allow yourself to listen to anyone but the people who really are invested in your life for the right reasons.
Because if they aren't a part of your story, if they aren't committed to helping you live this thing out the best you can...they don't get a say. Again, they have no frame of reference. They don't know the dreams God's given you, so how can they possibly be a part of the conversation?
3. Does their opinion really matter? Sometimes Adam will ask me this when I start to worry about this stuff. But what I've learned is that I have an opinion too. I mean, I spend all this time worrying what other people think and then it dawns on me...but what about what I think?
What do I think/believe/value/want? Don't those things matter? When you're busy pleasing people, they sure don't.
Friends. I am not willing to sacrifice God's will to make someone else "understand." I am not willing to explain every decision or dream or goal God plunks down in my heart just because someone doesn't "get it" or questions it for whatever reason.
People can disagree or spout of opinions or talk negatively or try to make you feel small...
But what they think of you is none of your business.
You don't serve them.
A friend of mine shared a quote with me that has just completely changed my outlook on this whole topic. Maybe it'll stick to your bones the way it has stuck to mine:
"You cannot please everyone all the time. In fact, if you can, you should worry about your integrity."
Today, my prayer is that I can stay focused only on God's opinion of me, cling to those poeple who are for me and let everything else fall away. Too many voices clog my mind anyway. I am only concerned with the ones that matter.

Motorcycle Body Repair
Most people think that when you get in a motorcycle accident, you have to buy all new parts. That's not always the case. A majority of the time those parts are repairable. Don't throw in the towel just yet and sink money into new parts for your bike. We'll evaluate the damage and give you a free estimate for your motorcycle body repair. If the part isn't repairable, we won't tell you otherwise just to get your business. Our number one priority is your safety on the road. If we can repair the body work, we'll let you know the cost and the choice is yours. At least you'll know that we're here if you need us, and that we have your back.
Once all of the damage has been addressed, we can touch up your motorcycle's paint job and apply a Candy Coat. We also offer custom airbrushing if you're looking to give your motorcycle a new look as well as vinyl dye services.
Safety First
Before getting you back on the open road, we check your bike's alignment, drive train and steering components. It is important to be absolutely certain that your motorcycle is in pre-crash condition. It's not enough just to buff out the scratches and dings. We want you to be able to ride with utmost confidence. At Car Struction, our main concern is safety first.

For anyone taking fish oil supplements, or eating oily fish because you've been made to believe it's good for you, think again.
Meta-analysis of oily fish and fish oil supplements showed no benefits whatsoever. For those who aren't aware of what a meta-analysis is, it's when researchers take lots of studies and trials and take an overall view of all of them, rather than just reporting on a single study. A meta-analysis is therefore far more worthy of your attention than any individual study.
Basically, the fish oil/oily fish thing has all been a big con to get you to buy something that you never needed in the first place. The oceans and seas are being depleted rapidly of life and we do not need to be killing more of it to make supplements that serve no value to health whatsoever. So stop buying this stuff!

Permanency in a Cookie JarOctober 12, 2018
The SawyersAugust 09, 2018
In the days and weeks after Kayden, Kylee, and Shawn Sawyer* were taken into child welfare custody, the teenagers repeatedly asked if they could live with their maternal uncle, Jesse. However, based on previous legal charges, child welfare workers quickly discredited Uncle Jesse's ability to provide support, and the siblings were placed in foster homes. Due to extenuating circumstances and agency procedures, fourteen-year-old Kylee was moved four times in three weeks, deeply compounding the trauma of being separated from her brothers and mother.
When the Sawyers' case was transferred to the 30 Days to Family® Ohio program…
SamanthaJune 15, 2018
Ten-year-old Samantha (name has been changed) came to live with her dad in Ohio five years ago, after being removed from her mother's care by a children services agency in her home state of Maine. With a complicated history of sexual abuse and the painful experience of being separated from her mom, it was important and necessary that Samantha receive trauma-informed counseling and ongoing support. Without this, her problems and pain would only continue to multiply.
CharlieApril 27, 2018
Charlie (name has been changed) was born on a snowy morning in early 2018. Unfortunately, Charlie is one of a growing number of babies born with drugs in his system. Because of a number of social issues, the hospital knew Charlie would not be able to go home safely. Charlie is not the first or the second, but actually the third child born to his mother and neither of his siblings are currently in their mother's custody. One child is in the custody of their maternal aunt and another in the custody of a cousin. Though the households are separate, the family is close and the siblings spend time together often. Kinship care has worked for this family in the past and Charlie's 30 Days to Family ® Specialist, Sarah, was determined to make it work again.

After all, Jacques Cousteau ranked the deep sinkhole among the world's top ten diving destinations after paying a visit in the early 1970's. That alone should give you an idea of the quality that is associated with the Great Blue Hole when it comes to diving in Belize.
Diving excursions that feature the Great Blue Hole are easy to arrange while in Belize. These excursions usually last a full day, and Ambergris Caye is a popular embarkation point. Once at the Great Blue Hole site, divers enter the water with a guide and begin their descent to the rim of the hole. This rim lies about 30 feet below the water's surface. From there, the descent continues. Once in the Great Blue Hole, divers will notice that the upper reaches are comprised of little more than rock wall. Deeper down, caves and stalactites await.
As for marine life, those who engage in Great Blue Hole diving often spot cleaning shrimp, groupers, angelfish, and nurse sharks. Should divers wish, some guides are known to chum the waters in an attempt to attract reef, bull, and hammer head sharks. It should also be noted that around the Great Blue Hole rim, there are elkhorn coral, purple seafans, gorgonian fans, sponges, and encrusting worms.
Great Blue Hole diving can be enjoyed year round. As for the best time to dive, February to May is arguably the period of choice, as this is when the chance of rain is at its slimmest. In relation to divers themselves, those wishing to explore the deeper depths of the Great Blue Hole should have plenty of diving experience. Divers who aren't as experienced are encouraged to stay near the rim of the hole. Anyone who lacks any real diving experience can look instead to arrange a Great Blue Hole snorkeling excursion.

Following the FIA's World Motor Sport Council summit in Singapore during the build-up to Formula 1's night race, a seven-page media release was distributed - by far the most voluminous such document for many years, although, admittedly, a vast portion of its bulk was made up of regional rally calendars for 2012, the FIA Truck Racing Championship, and such like.
In fact, the F1 portion extended to just a paragraph, which spoke glowingly of the progress made by the Indian Grand Prix's promoters, and - rather strangely - not a mention was made of the visor strip first discussed here, which was due to be made compulsory from this weekend's Japanese GP. As no word on its use was handed down by the WMSC, sources in the loop advise that the device cannot be made mandatory - with no official reason being given for the delay in introducing what seems a perfectly sensible device.
The FIA made no mention of helmet visor strips in Japan © sutton-images.com
Why was it delayed? Enquiries in Singapore and then Japan elicited little information, but it seems there are three sides to this story - respectively the angles of the wants; the want-nots, and - somewhere midway - the truth. It seems strange that drivers contracted to one helmet manufacturer have and have had no problems using the device, while others using different headgear have shied away from using the visor strip despite the benefits shown in tests undertaken by the FIA Institute.
However, according to a source close to the issue, the tests were exactly that - tests - with no practical experience having been gained. The source said: "We can do as many tests as we like, we can kick the helmets, hammer them, even shoot at them, but by the nature of testing there is no real live head sitting inside, which is why some folk are uneasy."
Another source suggested that the weight penalty of 0.06kg was simply too much, particularly under heavy braking, when a 5g-force turns a 0.06kg component into a weight of 0.3kg sitting on top of a dumbbell.
Then there appears to be an issue with unilateral 'mandatory use': "Whenever someone imposes something like that... when they imposed the wearing of the HANS device my collarbone was hurting and I actually raced without it," Rubens Barrichello told this column at Suzuka.
"Then that year I had a crash because I lost a suspension in Hungary and went straight on. If I hadn't had that HANS I probably would have been hurt. It's not easy driving an F1 car altogether, then they put this metal on the top of you, you just find it very bad. When you see the benefit of it is when you understand everything else."
The latest situation as of Thursday afternoon is that the FIA has allegedly asked all drivers to use the visor panel throughout the weekend, thus enabling all concerned to garner experience with the device ahead of mandatory use in 2012.
"I understand that we've been told to have it on the helmets," added Barrichello. "Then I read something that we were supposed to test them and get feedback. But as far as I am concerned, we are going to have it for the whole weekend. I actually had it in Singapore."
Thus all should be more clear after the drivers' briefing, traditionally held before the close of business on Friday. It seems like a far more interesting topic than discussing Lewis Hamilton's on-track antics...

However, back to the release: one paragraph caught the eye, namely an announcement for seven FIA awards for volunteers and officials, including 'Outstanding official of the year'. This seems an overdue award, yet for some reason the FIA saw fit to relegate this item to the back page.
One senses the hand of FIA president Jean Todt in this, for the Frenchman is a lifelong motorsport enthusiast, having first become smitten while a student in Paris, which led him to marshal and involve himself in club activities before co-driving in amateur events ahead of turning professional. He therefore understands the passion at the root of the sport.
That the World Rally Championship-winning co-driver and former boss of Ferrari's F1 team has the 'common' touch his predecessor Max Mosley - who once admitted to being attracted to the sport due to his controversial surname being basically unknown in the paddock - so patently lacked was proven last year when Todt introduced the concept of noted drivers acting as stewards' advisors.
Yes, some decisions handed down by the various quartets during the past 12 months or so have proved contentious, but on a scale of 0-10 they average around three. There is little doubt that Todt's concept beats the previous system, whereby the stewards worked and reported through a political strategist, with some decisions being very much off that scale.
Hopefully the outstanding official of the year award and others like it will prove to be as inspired as the driver-steward concept, particularly as it appears open to officials in any form of FIA motorsport - which AUTOSPORT has always covered and coveted. Although it's a strong possibility the award will go to somebody serving in a more senior category of motorsport, the award could just as easily go to a junior marshal officiating in a club event in Outer Mongolia.
As F1 expands across the globe it is obvious that many new circuits do not have corps of trained marshals. Yes, the USA has thousands of marshals to draw on, but India has few, if any, while the likes of China and Turkey simply have no F1 culture. Obviously in such instances experienced marshals are required to work alongside local volunteers, in both operational and training capacities.
Medical staff members, too, need to be recruited, and there are obvious differences in the sort of injuries suffered in racing-car accidents to those inflicted, say, during knife fights. Doctors and other trauma specialists require training not only on aspects such as extraction but need to be stationed at danger points around the circuit, while circuit hospitals need to be staffed not only with the correct medical disciplines, but also the right headcounts within the various disciplines.
Marshals risk life and limb for little or no financial reward © sutton-images.com
An often-repeated fallacy has it that F1 has not suffered a death since that of Ayrton Senna at Imola in 1994. Six years later at Monza a marshal, Paolo Ghislimberti, died after being hit by a flying wheel during a first lap accident; six months later - in 2001 - flag marshal Graham Beveridge was killed, again by a wheel, following a similar incident at Melbourne.
They are not alone in paying the ultimate price. During F1's 61-year history scores more have died, whether hit by flying wheels, crashing cars or in fires. However, human cost is not the only price paid by the thousands of volunteers who sacrifice weekends to officiate at F1 grands prix: many pay their own transportation and accommodation costs, often to events held across the globe.
One would have thought that in a sport as flash as F1 such workers performing vital, skilled roles would at least have their major costs reimbursed, but no. While said volunteers pay their costs - often at premium prices during grand prix weekends - they receive nowhere near sufficient compensation for their expenditure, let alone time.
There is no doubt F1 could not exist without these unpaid volunteers, yet at the other end of the scale sits a man whose daughters this year blew over £100millon on real-estate properties, with one recently tying the knot in a Saturday ceremony costing around £4.5million. Indeed, the Belgian GP lost that amount the very next day. Yes, their funding came from the Ecclestone family trust, but that was founded on profits made via F1.
The Singapore GP provides an insight into the numbers involved: the race deployed over 1100 marshals drawn from 27 nationalities. Each required at least five days' accommodation, with travel (mainly air) adding substantially to their costs.
Flag marshals receive two to three days' training, although vehicle recovery officials are required to complete a course running to 256 hours. Medical staff not seconded by the local hospital, or those flying in from overseas, invariably take leave for the period - another costly sacrifice.
Multiply all this by 20 grands prix per year and you gain an idea of the scale of it all. The FIA's initiative cannot adequately reward those whose passion, enthusiasm and commitment make F1 possible - not that that is the intention - but it certainly recognises their efforts, and that alone is a step in the right direction.
And this is only the tip of the iceberg: events across the globe - be they circuit racing or rallying, hillclimbing or drag racing; whether with tin-tops, single-seaters or trucks - rely on these unsung heroes to make it all happen in a safe and organised fashion. As you read this the FIA's global cluster of national sporting bodies will have received full details of the award. While the winner will no doubt be a worthy recipient, the backstory is that the many volunteers who make motorsport possible will, by implication, be recognised.

Is it considered a federal offense to deface an already busted mailbox? Regardless, it certainly took a good deal of chutzpah to pull off this piece of graffiti work. Last summer folks in the Lyn-Lake area were bemused to find that one of their blue mailboxes had been adorned with a gentle sea cow. While some graffiti is political, some ego-driven, some just plain stupid, the intention of this work was obviously to make others smile, and for that, we are grateful.

Recently I have had several conversations with female friends on how they feel that men are threatened by their successes and their independence. My friends feel that their successes and independence are keeping them from either meeting guys that they really want a future with or keeping guys that they feel they hit it off with. However, as conversations go on and I learn more I hear a recurring theme: they aren't letting men be men.
Often, prior to landing the person of your dreams, you probably were taking care of yourself or yourself and a child and you felt that you had everything under control, that you have a plan and that things have worked for you thus far. Now enters this great person and you're trying to figure out how to make that work, as well. Here's the thing: men are men and women are women. It might seem like a minor detail, but it carries a lot of weight.
Men, especially, need to feel that they are being the man in the relationship or "the one that wears the pants" so when a strong, independent woman emasculates them — they usually decide to move on. Men need to feel that they are able to contribute, able to take care of and able to be the man you fell in love with.
If you're constantly fixing your own car problems, pumping your own gas, taking out your own trash — he's going to start to feel that you don't need him and he will find someone else that does.
It may be hard to let a man take care of you if you've been taking care of you for quite some time, but let the tides turn. Let your man do the things a man should and restore the equilibrium that may be shifting in your relationship; you'll be glad you did. Cheers!

Previously! Sarah didn't want Ferdinand's frittata, MK built bombs and stole Ferdiand's money and peaced out, Helena peaced out, Donnie jizzed in a cup, no one checked Kira for maggotbots STILL.
Krystal Goderitch is back you guys! She's totally taking self-defense classes you guys! She's been working out you guys! She's going to be prepared for the next time someone tries to victimize her you guys! She's going to get to the bottom of things you guys! And she'll still tell everyone around her everything she knows about everything she's found out with intermanet searches you guys! She's a warrior now!!
Sarah is determined to spend a whole day with Kira for motherly daughterly bonding no matter what. Sarah has her hair in a side braid which is a new look for her and is supposed to echo Mrs. S's hair and therefore be maternal.
Anyways, the two of them are painting a mural and having fun when Sarah receives a text from Helena: "Don't worry about me sestra", it says and I scoff. We all know Sarah won't worry about you, Helena, so don't you worry about Sarah worrying. Not only has she not once come to see you since she's gotten back, she doesn't even know you're gone. Kira hears the text and is sad because she thinks Sarah has to go already. Sarah is dedicated to this Day of FUN and is staying. Of course Sarah doesn't even bother to reply to the text even though she has no idea why Helena is telling her not to worry because ugggggggghhhhh I'm so not happy with this.
Alison has sent over some research and made a beautiful, easy to read, soothingly coloured, lovely flow chart of how companies and people are connected: Neolution, Brightborn, DYAD, Dr. Leekie, Evie Cho, Topside etc etc, they're all there with helpful arrows. Sarah, using her eyeballs, sees that Geneconnexion, the company that Fee used to find his sister, is part of Brightborn, which is where Evie Cho works, who was at DYAD and is a Neolutionist…Sarah, uses her brain and is like, aha! I knew that Fee's loser sister is a fake and Mrs. S is all NO DROP IT, it's probably just a coincidence, and I literally made this face:
Cosima finds out that Brightborn is having an exclusive orientation today. Well, how handy! Since Sarah is busy bonding with Kira and Cosima sees how busy Alison is and Cosima is like all science-smart, Cosima volunteers to go down with Donnie as his surrogate mother. Because…Donnie is posing as a gay couple with Fee and they need a surrogate and they need to find out what's going on down there and man not only is this whole thing getting complicated, it's also stupid for a clone to go to the place where they have people that worked for DYAD and will recognize them. Even I can see that. Just have Donnie and Felix go. But no, this is the plan they go with.
Sarah and Kira go to visit Felix in his loft to invite him for dinner. Best line of many this episode:
Sarah tells Fee about his loser sister being part of the whole clone thing with the company Geneconnexion but he thinks Sarah's just acting like a jerk and the sister walks in and still has coke on her nose and Sarah is honestly jealous of Fee's real sister and I'm still tired of this whole storyline.
Cosima and Donnie go to the orientation. Donnie doesn't like his outfit "I look like a geriatric skateboarder" but Cosima looks hot and those shoes I must find for myself. I love them. Inside, Cosima and Donnie sign non disclosure agreements and Cosima asks for a copy because she is smart. The receptionist informs them it's a special day because Evie Cho herself is here today and Cosima is all oh oh and I'm all duh.
Evie walks into the room and starts talking about how great the program is. She has an x scar on her cheek that wasn't there before but no one ever addresses this?
She tells a story about how she was a sick child with an auto immune disease and was basically bubble boy but then bio-engineering saved her therefore Brightborn is good so give us your extra embryos. I may be summarizing there but it's what I do, it's a gift really.
Sarah is moping around the loft while Fee's stupid sister Adele teaches Kira ballet. Kira spills the beans that she was in Iceland with her granny and Adele thought Fee's family was Irish and clues? Sarah snitches hair from a brush and glasses from mimosas to give to Scott so he can do a DNA test and then she's all, byeee gotta go continue Kira's Day of Fun.
Evie finishes her presentation, the other doctor comes in, and the group splits in two for tours of the insanely expensive Brightborn facility. This is the perfect time for Cosima, a clone that probably someone in this place probably knows about and will probably recognize, to go sneak around and investigate because she is a scientist and smart or so the writers keep telling us.
Krystal shows up to insanely expensive Brightborn facility cause she wants a baby. Evie Cho sees her and almost craps herself. Evie thinks Krystal is Sarah and tells Susan Duncan (who in the building with Ira because of course they all are) that Sarah the missing clone is here.
Susan and Ira are in town to clean up Ferdinand's mess at the dentist's office with the assistant and the slit throat. There is an unacceptable lack of Ferdinand in this episode, which I do not agree with. 0/10
Donnie is looking at a Brightborn baby and he so badly wants a baby of his own. The mother lets him hold the baby. He's so happy until Krystal comes into the room and coos over the baby, making him stare at her with his mouth open in shock. "Um…I have to go…shit" he stumbles, to the general disgust of the room.
Back at the police station, that guy, the union guy that is involved with the maggotbot plot and was threatening Beth you know who I mean, he's there. He shows Art Alison's election flyer and is all, wow sure is weird how much this Alison person looks like Beth, isn't it, don't you think that's weird and suspicious huh? Art puts on his best constipated face and disagrees.
Turns out the guy is on to Alison and Donnie's entire drug selling scheme through the store Bubbles and Art is like whaaaaat but plays it cool. He calls Sarah and is pretty mad about this whole turn of events. I don't blame him. He could get in real trouble for helping drug dealers, not matter how awesome they may be.
Sarah tries to find out more about Kira's dreams. Kira hums and haws throughout the episode until finally at the end she tells her mom that she 'feels' the other clones. Feels their feelings. Rachel is the angriest. Helena is lonely. (Ah yes, Helena, remember her?) So she's like, clairvoyant or something and also there's that thing about how she may or may not have a bot type thing in her but NO ONE IS LOOKING ugghhhhgghghhghg.
Sarah calls Alison and they fight over who is the worst person for trying to sell drugs. Sounds like they're even to me. Alison mentions that Helena is missing, along with some camping equipment. Sarah wants to know where she is and Alison is all, I dunno, you dumped her here 3 months ago! Fair enough. They hang up on each other and call each other a bitch. Clone fighting FTW.
Susan Duncan goes looking for Kystal, that Evie thinks is Sarah, but finds Cosima, are you keeping up? They're in the huge, gorgeous, windowed swimming pool in the insanely expensive Brightborn facility. They talk and Cosmia thinks Susan doesn't know who she really is and manages to steal Susan's keycard.
Felix brings Adele to the safehouse for the dinner invite and what the actual fuck are you kidding me? Sarah is understandably furious. What I don't get is why Mrs. S keeps trying to keep the peace here. Felix is clearly in the wrong. Just because someone may or may not be a relative doesn't mean they're good people. You don't KNOW HER. You don't bring someone you just met to THE SAFEHOUSE where your family, including your little niece, is hiding. Eff this entire storyline. By the end of the episode, Sarah gets a call about the DNA test results and Scott tells her Adele is Fee's biological sister. Sarah is crushed and cries. Kira soothes her. Fee is being a jerk. Adele is the worst. The only character worse than Adele is Transgender Tony.
Cosima tells Donnie to get rid of Krystal so she doesn't ruin everything. That's Cosima's job, you guys! Donnie sees Krystal sipping on her iced coffee and stealing beauty products in the spa/massage area of this insanely expensive Brightborn facility and poses as an employee to try to get info out of her. Krystal wants a massage for her stiff neck so Donnie, pretending his name is 'Ronnie' (hahahahahahahahahaha) goes behind the counter and fake types on the computer to 'find' an open appointment and wouldn't you know it, he's open right now.
'Ronnie' finds an open room and this scene you guys. Tatiana acts the hell out of this character. Krystal isn't my fave but I love how Tatiana holds her lips so it looks like she has lip injections, how she walks, even how she holds her iced coffee. It's perfection.
Susan Duncan tells Evie that she was wrong about seeing Sarah Manning, that was Cosima. Evie is like, huh? Evie doesn't think Cosima should just be roaming around and looking into things either so they all agree to bring Cosima in. You know where this is going, right?
'Ronnie' starts to massage Krystal, who immediately spills all she knows. "Can I trust you?" she asks, and then tells him she's investigating Brightborn and DYAD and that she thinks they're conducting human experiments….through cosmetics. So close, Krystal. She thinks she's a target and says how that 'French doctor' helped her. 'Ronnie' slips up and asks if she means Delphine, freaking out Krystal, then tries to soothe her by saying her own name, freaking her out even more. Krystal uses her self-defence moves, kicking him in the junk and then, hilariously, judo-chops Donnie in the neck. Donnie goes down hard.
As Krystal tries to leave, she bumps into the evil female EMT that was sent by Susan Duncan to find Cosima. Evil EMT thinks she is Cosima and grabs her. Krystal's self-defence moves don't help her this time and she gets locked into another room. Krystal talks into the security camera, apologizing for stealing the spa toiletries, dumping them all on the table. "I just came here to, like, have a baby" she says, tearfully, and I wonder how much of her act is an act. Susan, Ira and Evie watch on the security monitors. "Evie. That's Krystal Goderitch" Susan says, disgusted and I feel for Evie. It's a comedy of errors!
Cosima finds a linen closet with scrubs and changes into them to do more sneaking. She's finds a maternity ward with birthing happening, and other pregnant women hanging around. There's some kind of study going on and these are all poor, impoverished type women that are getting paid for being human lab rats.
Cosima gets dragged into the room with the screaming woman giving birth and holds her hand as the baby is born. The baby has a ton of facial defects and the other doctor is all, oh damn this sucks.
They take the baby away and Susan Duncan comes in and introduces herself.
Cosima is upset about all of this, duh. Susan tries to convince her that is for the greater good and unlocking the human genome. "We're your Onocmice!" Cosima says, and all the Orphan Black recappers use Google at once, crashing the intermanent. Susan says if Cosima shares the original's genome then they can unlock the cure and heal Cosima so she won't dieeeee. Poor Cosima. The struggle is real.
The episode ends with Ira swimming in the huge, gorgeous, windowed swimming pool in the insanely expensive Brightborn facility. Susan Duncan joins him, walking very seductively. She is so excited to be close to the original, so close that she starts making out with Ira and it doesn't look like this is the first time. This reminds me of Dr. Leekie and Delphine.
Yuck. But the real issue I have with this is: who the hell kisses like that? Looks uncomfortable.
Hey, remember Shay? I guess she moved back to Winnipeg.

Computer Science amid Others
CS among other sciences:
- I remember a conversation with Juris Hartmanis a long time ago in which he described the early days of Computer Science. He and others had to argue that CS was of fundamental interest, that CS was not lesser Math and that some of the central Math questions were central in CS and vice versa, with techniques that went back and forth. They had to take these arguments to Mathematicians.
- And a few days ago, Prabhakar Raghavan and Christos Papadimitriou told me an anecdote that had to do with their travails taking these arguments to Physicists.

It was my eldest granddaughter Kara's prom night a couple of weeks ago. The preparations took weeks especially finding the right dress, she had an idea in her head and then we had the problem of finding it but her Mum came good in the end and found this stunning dress for her. I felt so proud of her that night, she has turned into an amazing person who is a credit to her Mum and Dad.
Kara's Dad has a twin and his daughter is the same age so they shared the car and went together, making an amazing entrance, especially getting out of a limousine which Mum organised.
I wish we had prom nights when I was at school or even when my children went to school but it is only in the last few years that they have now become popular in the UK. I think it gives them a good end to school and a chance to shine as an adult…..well most of them lol
If you have any pictures of prom nights send them into http://nannycool.com and we can have a page of prom nights.
