  • Spitfire Chapter 1 Everything Was the Same Where Caroline Panski Lived
    Spitfire Chapter 1 Everything was the same where Caroline Panski lived. All the streets in her neighborhood were the same. The rows upon rows of brick houses were the same, with the same windows and the same marble stoops. It had always been the same, and it always would be the same. There weren’t even any trees to break up the monotony. At twelve years old, Caroline was old enough to know that as long as she was stuck in her boring Highlandtown neighborhood in boring old Baltimore, nothing would ever change. And, therefore, nothing would ever be any fun. Inside the modest Panski home on South Clinton Street, Caroline sat in the cramped space afforded by the bow window and stared at the steady diet of rain and sleet outside. If only it would snow, she thought. Behind her, a clamor of mundane domestic noises competed with the radio: “It’s twenty-seven degrees Fahrenheit in Baltimore on this, the second day of December, 1952. Rain continues.” There followed a blast of tinny music, followed by a deep, serious voice: “Now, Edward R. Murrow and the voices of President Harry S. Truman, Bernard F. Baruch, Senator Robert Taft, General George C. Marshall, Governor Earl Warren, and more than forty other men and women in this evening’s performance of Hear it Now presented tonight, and every week, at this time. Later, an editorial: Children in Asia are dying of starvation and the bestselling books in America are how to get thin. But first, we go to the cold battlefields of Korea, where our brave American fighting men—” Always on alert for news from Korea, Caroline tried to block out everything but the voice on the radio.

  • Preliminary Researches on the Effect of Essential Oils on Moulds Isolated
    Iosim I. et al./Scientific Papers: Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2018, 51 (2) Winter Sports Tourism: Terminological Issues Iasmina Iosim, Carmen Dumitrescu, Simona Constantinescu Banat’s University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine “King Michael I of Romania”, 119, Calea Aradului, 300645 - Timişoara, Romania Abstract The scope of the contribution is to show the difficulty of rendering winter sports terminology in tourism mass media in Romanian, based on the assumption that other European languages (both Romance and Slavic) may encounter the same difficulties in translating winter sports terms. The readers may benefit from our observations and adopt (or not) our suggestions when dealing with the same issues in their own languages. The authors have established a list of terms based on English language dictionaries and on Internet sources and analysed the ways they could be rendered in Romanian. Research results show there are three categories of winter sports terms from a translational perspective: terms that can be translated into Romanian (Alpine ski > ski alpin), terms that can only be paraphrased (sledding > sanie), and terms that cannot be translated into Romanian and that need to be adopted as such (curling > curling).
