Those from the eighteenth century are not exclusively culinary, also incorporating medical, veterinary and household recipes. Surviving examples are almost all from genteel or elite households, the people who had time and resources to create them, and are preserved in local archives or dedicated collections.

Furthermore, I find it interesting to read a German text as well as its English translation and compare how the original and the translation express the same story. As a double major in German and Linguistics, I have learned a lot about the structure of language and crosslinguistic differences that make each language unique. Translation was the perfect way to engage creatively with each language and its unique linguistic features. Moreover, since literary works are not only concerned with linguistic creativity but also reflect the culture of the respective linguistic community, translation is an important facet of cross-cultural communication.

  • Aruba Book 2 Final.Pub
    The first night of leisure time I had in Aruba was a disappointment compared to what I imagined the exotic locale should offer. They cancelled the planned party at the club, and I was determined to find where things were happening on the social scene. Unfortunately everything was very subdued on that particular evening. SHIPS TRAVELED I sailed to Aruba on the Esso Bolivar once and the S.S. Chattanooga a couple of times. Savanna, Georgia was the home town of the Captain of the Chattanooga. He became a very good friend of my wife and me. His third mate, Calidino, from Passaic, New Jersey, was also a good buddy. Calidino later sailed to the Far East, bringing us an exquisite Oriental vase when he returned. JOB ASSIGNMENT I was hired as an instrument mechanic specifically for the study they were making on the temperature difference between a bare thermocouple and a shielded (or protected) thermocouple in the roof and wall tubes of the cracking plant furnaces. The shielding was actually a special stainless steel tubing to protect a thermocouple on the surface of a furnace tube from the high operating temperatures. The thermocouples used were made of two lengths of 12 gauge wire of metal alloys each of the two wires made to different specifications. For example the thermocouple used for temperatures up to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit was made with one iron wire and one Constantan. Different alloys of wire were used for different applications. The heat sensing end of the two temperature sensing wires were carefully twisted together using a special jig to make a solid mechanical contact.
