Interpreting (or interpretation) is an activity that consists of facilitating oral or sign language communication, between two or more speakers who are not speaking (or signing) the same language.
Interpreters can work in a variety of settings such as international events and conferences; at technical, business, legal or political meetings; at court hearings; and at police interviews.
There are two types of interpreting: consecutive and simultaneous.
In the most popular form of simultaneous interpreting the interpreter sits in a booth wearing a pair of headphones and speaking into a microphone so that delegates at a meeting or conference receive a real-time account of what is being said in a language they understand.
Consecutive interpreting is used for smaller meetings,

When I was in fifth grade, or Primary 7 as we called it back in Scotland, a Bible exhibition came to Glasgow. I think it was run by the Philadelphian Bible Society in Britain. It was fascinating because many of the exhibits were models of buildings and places in
A while back there was a popular programme on the telly. It was called "A very peculiar practice." The main theme, for me at least, was the inability of the main character to decipher what was going on under his nose.When I speak to someone for the first time, I inevitably ensure that I am at my most polite. Polite, the British version, differs from other cultures. More often than not, in America of all places, this is not a helpful mode of communication. My son plagues me, “is it nine?”“Look at the timer dear, 19 minutes to go.”“It is a rule?”“Yes, it’s rude to telephone people before 9 at the weekend, it’s a rule.” He searches my face for a hint of deception.The key to conducting a successful telephone conversation, is the ability to tune into the timbre of the other person. I prefer to talk to someone face to face, as I am a visual learner and need those cues. Without them, I need to listen very carefully and adjust my tone. My own telephone skills are p
Although some people believe that dreams are prophetic and others believe that dreams are just a way for the mind to rid itself of the rubbish from the day before, most dream experts believe that interpreting dreams enables the subconscious mind to communicate with the conscious mind.

Credit reports and credit scores are very important for people all over the United States. There are three major credit bureaus that operate for consumers in the United States and they are the ones who are responsible for the credit scores and credit reports that you can request about yourself. But do these credit reports and scores really matter? Furthermore, what consequences can a bad credit score or report have on your future? Likewise, are there any benefits to having a better credit score to your name?
Obtaining your Credit Report and Credit Score
The three major credit bureaus in the United States are Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. All of these credit bureaus obtain information about consumers all over the United States, and if you have a credit card in your name then you automatically are eligible for a credit report and credit score. It must also be noted that these credit bureaus calculate each of their scores slightly differently, although there’s talk o
"C-dero" agreed with everything I said in my last post except for the last paragraph. Here is my response to his thoughts on that section.I think it when you even bring the issue that one's interpretation being authoritative over another is when you create more problems.Having an authoritative interpretation of Scripture doesn't create problems, it solves problems. Now, whenever there is a question in the Christian community regarding what is true doctrine, we have a voice given authority by God to settle the matter, instead of everyone having to rely on their own abilities and their own perception of being "inspired" by the Holy Spirit. No contradiction in teaching. No democratic vote. Just the authority of God.This is when I become a minimalist in Biblical interpretation. What I mean is that you have the Bible in its historical context, written to a certain type of people in particular times which meant what it meant to them and even within this understanding there is self-evidence
"C-dero" asked the following question in the HCR forum, and I think it is an important one, especially within the Protestant community. The division and contradiction that sola scriptura creates is the big pink elephant in the living room of Protestantism. I can't tell you how many Protestants I've heard who either utterly deny that there is a problem, or who actually praise denominationalism as "diversity."However, it seems to me that C-dero is a person who is not afraid to confront the problem areas in Protestantism and to search out a solution, instead of just pretending that these problems don't exist. This is not the first time that he has asked a question that attempts to take a bold and honest look at his faith. I respect that and I think it is refreshing.You may have heard this before, "the best interpreter of scripture is scripture itself."How meaningful is this catch phrase? Is it not true that the one who asserts such a concept is the Bible's interpreter? Does he/she not
Can't beat the entertainment of Conversations with Bob! Here is my latest!Bob,Beautiful! Loved your comments and your honesty regarding social issues. One good dose of honesty deserves another. I am not fond of the Democrats. I think they are caught up in the same "Domination System" (to use Walter Wink's phrase) as the Republicans. They are not our saviors as much as some other progressives think. I don't like the politics of faith in order to get votes. I don't like Democrats who try to sound religious or wear their faith on their sleeve in order to do that, even as that has been successful for Republicans. Frankly, I don't like appeals to Jesus, YHWH, or the Bible to authorize a viewpoint. If one's viewpoint does not stand on its own merits, then no amount of "supernatural authority" will make it any better.To alienate more of my progressive friends, as much as I appreciate Al Gore's attention to the environment, I don't think all the facts are in regarding Glob
Philip Eng & Foong-Koon Cheah (Cambridge University Press) "Interpreting chest X-rays can seem baffling and intimidating for junior doctors. This highly illustrated guide provides the ideal introduction to chest radiology. It uses 100 clinical cases to illuminate a wide range of common medical conditions, each illustrated with a chest X-ray and a clear description of the significant diagnostic features and their clinical relevance. Where appropriate, CT scans and bronchoscopic imaging are also included as part of the investigation. Pulmonary medicine is largely based on the strong foundation of the plain chest radiograph. Indeed, chest radiography is the single most common investigation carried out in hospital practice. This collection of case studies will help make the learning process easier, more enjoyable, and less painful. As well as offering enlightening pearls of core knowledge in chest X-ray interpretation, it highlights some of the pitfalls that might wrong-foot the inexpe

Mental Notes had a great post a few days ago listing the kinds of indications to look for in understand if your child is suffering from a serious problem. Behavior can mean many things, often because of the context of situation. You may need help to figure out what needs the attention.
I will take issue with one of his assertions. While it is true that a full assessment takes a lot of time and there is very little incentive from the doctor's perspective to do the full diagnostic and medicating as a trial is a widely used method of diagnostics, I'd advocate for the full evaluation before medicating. There are too many stories of "kids like zombies" floating around to say nothing about this.
Bring your child to a mental health professional who will take a full 45 to 60 minute evaluation, or more to determine a diagnostic of ADHD. I've known several clinicians in my community who will take 2 to 3 sessions to do a complete background including some standardized tests. I think that is
To understand this post, you probably need to read the two posts preceding it -- my original post on the topic, and Woodward's response.It seems to me that it is precisely because God is the author of Scripture that we can allow for an innumerable number of personal interpretations of Scripture -- at least as many interpretations as there are people. For in his infinite mind, God knew before time began how each one of us would read and interpret the Bible. As He inspired the sacred authors, He kept each one of us in mind -- not in a general sense, but, rather, in a personal sense -- so that we can really say that God wrote the Bible for me, just as I can really say that Jesus died for me -- not in a general sense, but in a personal sense.There is a caveat to this, and that's the Church. We should not, as many people do, see the Church as robbing us of our freedom to interpret Scripture as we want. Rather, we should see the Church as helping us in our conversation with the Father
