Source text - Italian Benvenuti a Gardaland. Pardon, a Xxxxxxxxxxland. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, il Grande Burattinaio di quello strano, anzi stranissimo, e bizzarro, e pressocch� inedito, e inesausto, fantasmagorico e strabiliante parco giochi di cui solo lui conosce regole e motivazioni, avrebbe voluto che io non pronunciassi mai quella parola. Gardaland. Oh, Gardaland! Gardaland, o cara. Io, invece, ho da pronunciarla, e mi si seccasse la lingua � e la penna, o se preferite ancora il mouse � se non lo far� ogni volta che vedr� comparirmi davanti all�improvviso, come una misteriosa apparizione, una sua scultura � rinoceronte appeso, o balena, o macchina da scrivere, o bagaglio da viaggio comprensivo appunto di rinoceronte, o rinoceronte-divano, o cartello a forma di bocca che sia. Gi�, perch� di Gardaland, il Xxxxxxxxxx conosce ogni anfratto e ogni segreto. Di Gardaland, il Xxxxxxxxxx � figlio naturale � l� ha fatto la sua accademia, il suo apprendistato, la sua scuola dell�obbligo. Gardaland �, che gli piaccia o no, al contempo la sua bottega artigiana e il suo romanzo di formazione. L�, a Gardaland, ancora giovanissimo, il Xxxxxxxxxx ha lavorato, vissuto, sudato, amato forse, e sofferto, e scoperto e imparato, uno a uno, tutti i trucchi del mestiere, come costruir balene e rinoceronti e mostri marini o fantastici o preistorici o quant�altro serve allo spettacolo del divertimento quotidiano.
Translation - English Welcome to Gardaland. Sorry, to Xxxxxxxxxxland. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx is the Puppet Master of that strange, weird, bizarre, almost unprecedented and timeless, phantasmagorical and breath-taking adventure playground of which only he knows the rules and reason. Perhaps he would have wished I'd never used that word. Gardaland. Oh, Gardaland! Gardaland, my dear. I, however, have used that name, and may my tongue - or my pen - run dry, if I won't do so every time one of his sculptures - a flying rhinoceros, or whale, or typewriter, or suitcase with rhino, or rhino-sofa, or sign the shape of a mouth, appears in front of me suddenly, as if by magic. Xxxxxxxxxx knows every nook and cranny, every hidden secret of Gardaland. Xxxxxxxxxx is the natural son of Gardaland, this is where he studied, took his apprenticeship; this was his school. Gardaland is, whether you like it or not, just as much his workshop as the story of his making. In Gardaland, at a very young age, Xxxxxxxxxx worked, lived, sweated, perhaps even loved, suffered and discovered. He learnt all the tricks of the trade, one by one; how to make whales and rhinoceroses, sea monsters, fantastic or prehistoric creatures, or anything else for the show.
Spanish to English: Rolfing & sport General field: Medical Detailed field: Sports / Fitness / Recreation
Source text - Spanish Los deportistas tienen en general mejor postura que las personas sedentarias, pero los entrenamientos exigentes pueden provocar sobrecargas y desequilibrios. Los corredores utilizan más el tren inferior que el superior,
si juegas al tenis tendrás un brazo más fuerte que otro… Si nos miramos en un espejo, podemos apreciar que curvamos la espalda, encogemos los hombros y adoptamos posturas incorrectas. Una mala postura
conlleva rigidez, dolor, malestar... y ello repercute en un mal rendimiento profesional y deportivo.
Translation - English Sportsmen & women usually have better posture than people with a more sedentary lifestyle, but strenuous training regimes can overload the body and cause imbalance. Runners use the lower part of their body more than the upper part of the torso. A tennis player will have one arm stronger than the other. If we look in the mirror, we may see a slight curvature of the shoulder, we shrug it off but end up with bad posture. Bad posture leads to rigidity, discomfort ... and poor professional and sporting performance.
Spanish to English: Incompatible behaviour training General field: Science Detailed field: Psychology
Source text - Spanish El adiestramiento de conductas incompatibles quizás sea la mejor manera para pedirle a tu perro que deje de hacer algo que te molesta y de eliminar problemas de conducta. Además de no ser traumático para tu perro, es mucho más efectivo que los castigos verbales y los MAR.
Esta estrategia es terriblemente sencilla y es sorprendente que no sea considerada en la mayoría de los libros antiguos. Para que la comprendas mejor, te pongo un ejemplo.
En los libros antiguos de adiestramiento se explican técnicas para evitar que tu perro te salte encima cuando llegas de la siguiente manera:
"Cuando el perro le salte encima, déle un rodillazo sorpresivo. Esto hará que deje de saltar"
"Cuando el perro le salte encima, písele suavemente las patas traseras"
Bueno, la utilidad de estas técnicas es prácticamente nula. Además, como te podrás imaginar, esos métodos pueden tener consecuencias realmente dramáticas para el pobre perro.
¿Dónde está el problema de esas técnicas? Primero, se utiliza el castigo físico. Segundo, se aplica el castigo cuando el perro ya ha saltado sobre la persona, así que no se evita la conducta que se quiere eliminar.
¿Cuál sería una estrategia alternativa para este problema? Enséñale a tu perro una conducta incompatible. Por ejemplo, tu perro no puede saltar mientras está sentado. Entonces, puedes enseñarle a sentarse y perfeccionar la orden "Sentado" hasta que sea muy confiable. Luego, simplemente dile "Sentado" cuando llegues a tu casa, antes de que te salte encima.
Listo! El problema se ha solucionado.
Otra posibilidad sería intentar que la conducta de saltar encima se extinga. Para esto simplemente tendrías que ignorar a tu perro cuando te salta encima. Sin embargo, esto no es muy fácil de lograr, especialmente con perros grandes. Por eso, el adiestramiento de una conducta incompatible es la mejor solución para este problema.
La gran ventaja del adiestramiento de conductas incompatibles es que cada una de esas conductas puede ser entrenada sin necesidad de castigos o MAR. Por tanto, no estresarás a tu perro ni le causarás ansiedad.
Translation - English Incompatible behaviour training is the best way to get your dog to stop doing something annoying and solve behaviour problems. Beside not being traumatic for your dog, it's a lot more effective than verbal punishment and NRMs (No Reward Markers).
This is an incredible simple strategy and you'll be surprised to learn it wasn't even taken into consideration in most old books. To better explain it, here's an example.
Old training books described techniques to stop your dog jumping on you when you get home in the following way:
"When the dog jumps on you, knee it down. This will make it stop jumping."
"When the dog jumps on you, step lightly on its rear paws."
These techniques are all but useless. What's more, as you can easily imagine, these methods can lead to really dramatic consequences for the poor dog.
So what's the problem with these techniques? First, they use physical punishment. Second, the punishment is given when the dog has already jumped on the person, so this doesn't stop the behaviour you want to eliminate.
What's an alternative strategy for this problem? Teach your dog an incompatible behaviour. For example, your dog can't jump while it's sitting. So, you can teach it to sit and work on the order "Sit" until it gives really solid results. Then you simply tell your dog to "Sit" when you come home before it can jump on you.
That's it! Problem solved.
Another thing you can do is try and eliminate the jumping behaviour. To do this you simply ignore your dog when it jumps on you. Nevertheless, this isn't very easy to do, especially with big dogs. Therefore, incompatible behaviour training is the best solution to this problem.
The big advantage with incompatible behaviour training is that each of these ways to behave can be trained without the need for punishment or NRMs. So you won't subject your dog to stress or anxiety.
Spanish to English: Clicker training General field: Science Detailed field: Psychology
Source text - Spanish Cómo funciona el adiestramiento con clicker
El adiestramiento con clicker se basa en el condicionamiento clásico y el condicionamiento operante.
Primero tienes que aplicar el condicionamiento clásico, haciendo que tu perro asocie el sonido del clicker con algo agradable (generalmente comida).
Lo que sigue es sencillo. Cada vez que tu perro ejecuta la conducta que le quieres enseñar, haces click y le das alguna recompensa. Con unas cuantas repeticiones, tu perro habrá aprendido lo que querías enseñarle.
Después que tu perro realiza frecuentemente esa conducta particular, tienes que añadirle una orden a toda la secuencia.
Por ejemplo, si quieres enseñarle a tu perro a sentarse, primero tiene que aprender a hacerlo sin la orden verbal. Una vez que lo hace frecuentemente para recibir su recompensa, le dices "Sentado" antes que él se siente. Después de unas cuantas repeticiones, él responderá a la orden.
¿Por qué usar el clicker en lugar de sólo darle la recompensa? Porque con el clicker podrás marcar el momento exacto en que tu perro realizó la conducta deseada, incluso si no estás cerca de él.
Los métodos de educación canina usados en esta técnica son: atracción, captura y moldeado.
Translation - English How clicker training works
Clicker training is based on classical conditioning and operant conditioning.
First we have to use classical conditioning, so your dog associates the noise of the clicker with something nice (usually food).
The next step is simple. Every time the dog does what you're training it to do, click with the clicker and give it a reward. As you repeat the exercise your dog will learn what you want to teach it.
When your dog has learnt to frequently do what you wish, you add an order to the sequence.
For example, if you want to teach your dog to sit, first the dog must learn to sit without a verbal command. When the dog has learnt to sit frequently to receive the reward you say "Sit" before it sits down. The dog will respond to the command after you've repeated the exercise a few times.
Why should I use the clicker instead of just giving a reward? With the clicker you can click in exactly the right moment when your dog does what you want, even if you're not nearby.
The dog training methods used in this technique are called: luring, capturing and shaping.
Spanish to English: Rolfing article General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - Spanish Sin apenas darnos cuenta, todos los días adoptamos malas postu- ras, tensiones y gestos que pueden acabar afectando a nuestra salud y bienestar. Factores genéticos, per- sonales, laborales influyen en la aparición de estas molestias. Pero hay otro elemento que incide espe- cialmente sobre la persona: la fuerza de la gravedad. De esto se dio cuen- ta hace años Ida P. Rolf, Doctora en Bioquímica por la Universidad de Columbia (EE.UU.) y creadora del Método de Integración Estructural, más conocido como Rolfing. Esta in- vestigadora norteamericana descu- brió que la forma de nuestro cuerpo se desarrolla y cambia por la influen- cia de la gravedad.
Translation - English Without even really realizing it, every day we are adapting to bad posture, tension and movements that can affect our health and well-being. Genetic and personal factors, as well as working conditions, influence these problems. There is however another element that has an effect on people: the force of gravity. This was something that Ida P. Rolf, a Doctor specialized in Biochemistry at Columbia University (USA), and the creator of the Structural Integration Method, commonly known as Rolfing, had been considering for years. The North American researcher discovered that the shape of our body develops and changes under the influence of gravity.
Spanish to English: Destructive dogs General field: Science Detailed field: Psychology
Source text - Spanish Los perros destructores son un gran problema para mucha gente y, muchas veces, para ellos mismos. Esos perros que se dedican a masticar los muebles, los zapatos, las plantas y todo lo que encuentran, suelen terminar abandonados o en un albergue en espera de una familia que quiera adoptarlos. Igual suerte suelen correr los perros que destrozan el jardín cavando huecos donde les da la gana.
Lastimosamente, las conductas destructivas son muy frecuentes en los perros y no creo que exista un solo perro que jamás haya sido destructor, aunque sea por un corto tiempo. Esto porque masticar cosas y cavar son conductas naturales en los perros. Tan naturales como respirar, alimentarse o hacer sus necesidades.
Por supuesto, algunos perros tienen más necesidad que otros de expresar estas conductas. A los terrier, por ejemplo, generalmente les encanta cavar y en muchos casos es imposible evitar que lo hagan. La conducta de masticar cosas es más común en todos los perros, pero los perros de caza y otras razas criadas para trabajos duros suelen tener más marcada esta conducta.
Aunque masticar cosas y cavar en el jardín son conductas inapropiadas para los humanos, también son conductas muy naturales para los perros y por eso no es conveniente tratar de erradicarlas. Lo mejor que puedes hacer para prevenir y solucionar problemas de destrucción es redirigir las conductas destructivas hacia objetos resistentes o lugares adecuados. Es decir que, más que adiestramiento canino, tienes que llevar a cabo un programa de enriquecimiento ambiental para tu perro (aunque algo de adiestramiento también hay en estas soluciones).
Los entrenadores de la vieja escuela tienden a solucionar los problemas de perros destructores mediante el castigo. Simplemente castigan a los perros cada vez que éstos empiezan alguna de las conductas destructivas. El problema con ese enfoque es que suele causar más problemas que aportar soluciones. La mayoría de los perros desarrollan otras conductas inapropiadas en respuesta a esos "tratamientos" e incluso pueden aumentar la intensidad y frecuencia de las conductas destructivas.
Por eso, en esta sección encontrarás soluciones a través de la redirección de las conductas destructivas, y no a través del castigo. Es decir que, en lugar de enseñarle a tu perro a no masticar y no cavar, le enseñarás a masticar solamente sus juguetes y cavar solamente en un lugar determinado construido específicamente para eso.
La estrategia de redirigir las conductas inapropiadas es equivalente al enriquecimiento ambiental que se hace en los zoológicos modernos. No solo sirve para solucionar el problema en cuestión, sino también para mantener la salud psicológica y emocional de los animales (y muchas veces mejorar la salud física a través del ejercicio).
Translation - English Destructive dogs are a big problem for many people and this can also often cause problems for the dogs too. Dogs that dedicate their time to chewing furniture, shoes, plants and anything else they can get their teeth on, usually end up abandoned, or in a kennel waiting to be adopted. Dogs that destroy the garden, digging holes anywhere they please, usually end up the same way.
Unfortunately, this kind of behaviour is very common in dogs and I don't think there's ever been a dog that was never destructive, at least once in its life. This is because, chewing things and digging holes is part of a dog's natural behaviour. To a dog, it's as natural as breathing, eating or having a pee.
Of course, some dogs have a greater tendency to behave like this. A terrier, for example, will love digging, and in many cases it'll be impossible to stop it. Chewing things is very common in all dogs, but hunting dogs and other breeds that were bred for hard work will usually have a more marked propensity for this type of behaviour.
While chewing things and digging in the garden are inappropriate for humans, it's only natural for a dog to behave like this, so it's not a good idea to try and eliminate this behaviour. The best thing to do to prevent and solve destructive behaviour is to redirect the destructive behaviour towards more resistant objects and appropriate places. In other words, rather than dog training, what you have to do is enrich your dog's environment with a specific plan (although there is also a little training involved in these solutions).
Old-school trainers tend to solve problems caused by destructive dogs using punishment. They simply punish the dogs every time the dog starts to behave destructively. The problem with this approach is that it usually causes more problems than it solves. Most dogs will develop other inappropriate behaviour in response to this "treatment" and the intensity and frequency of the destructive behaviour can increase.
Therefore, in this section you'll find solutions involving the redirection of destructive behaviour, not punishment. In other words, instead of teaching your dog to not chew or dig, you'll teach it to chew just its toys and dig only in a certain place you've dedicated to dog digging.
Redirecting inappropriate behaviour is the equivalent of environmental enrichment in modern zoos. It's not just used to solve the problem in question, but also to keep the animals psychologically and emotionally healthy (and this also often means an improvement in physical health too).

Content writing
Content written for your audience on the basis of a detailed brief:
For a few years I worked as a journalist and part of the editorial staff for the music/cultural magazine Riviera Beat, and I still love writing with a passion. I have also worked as an interpreter at Rimini Trade Fair, for international journalists, and the Marco Pantani Foundation. In 2008 I was short-listed by Robert Half (Turin) as Director of the Fiat Group’s languages dept.
I enjoy my work and take pride in providing a quality service, meeting deadlines and giving feedback in a friendly, 2-way relationship with the client. I prefer not to accept jobs with deadlines that are unrealistic, as the quality of the translation and delivery on time are essential. Where I'm coming from:
My grandfather made his name during the Second World War making rubber boats for the commandos with Bostik. My grandmother taught me everything I know about tennis, and other noble sports. My father was chief engineer in the Royal Navy, part of the team that commissioned the first Polaris subs. He moved on to become chief nuclear safeguards engineer at Hunterston power station, and finally specialised in Quality Assurance. He taught me a lot about many things. My mother was a stage actress, and I'm sure she's responsible for my passion for music, art, and writing.
I was born in England in 1965 and brought up on Treasure Island with swashbuckling pirates, hobbits, and sci-fi. I went to school, played rugby, chased girls and did all the usual things young boys do, including some that didn't go down too well with the powers that be. After moving to London I worked in the music business, then as a photographer, before marrying my beautiful Italian wife and moving to "il bel paese" where we opened a beach bar and had 3 beautiful babies, who are strapping young girls now. I worked as an English teacher at the International Forum Languages School of Forli before starting my career as a full-time professional translator 7 years ago.
Where I'm at:
I'm currently working as a full-time professional translator.
I enjoy my work and take pride in providing a quality service, meeting deadlines and giving feedback in a healthy, 2-way relationship with the client that has often become a friendship. I prefer not to accept jobs with deadlines that are unrealistic, as the quality of the translation and delivery on time are essential.
Apart from my family and work, my passions are writing and kiting. You can find some of my writing on the Personal Page of this profile or at the links below. My hobbies include extreme/outdoor sports, mountain climbing, bivying, camping on mountains, ski mountaineering, freediving, kitesurfing, surfing, windsurfing, motorcycling and I love messing around with classic bikes and cars, especially if they've got Triumph or Harley written on them it seems. After restoring a 1970 Triumph Bonneville a few years ago, I’m currently restoring a 1966 Triumph Spitfire MkII to her original glory. Here’s a few pics.
I also collaborate with clients in the motorbike
sector and currently ride (and do all my own work on) a Harley.
I hope you've enjoyed reading about my work. Send me an Email to discuss a potential project.

In 2008 I was short-listed by Robert Half (Turin) as Director of the Fiat Group’s languages dept.
