Translation jobs are undertaken by professional translators who are well versed with at least two languages.Translation can work at two levels: inter-state or regional language translation and inter-national or foreign language translation. Some forms of parent involvement with the school such as communications with school, volunteering, attending school events and parent--parent connections appeared to have little effect on student achievement, especially in high school.

Stupidman Downloads,Copies a FileSome superheroes drink a potion,take a pill,utter somemagic words. I put my fingers on a keyboard and becomeSTUPIDMAN.I am currently reading the free chapters of the new e-book"Internet Profit Pearls" (IPP). I understand theexplanations of why some popular strategies don't work andthe advantages of some lesser used,yet cost effectivemethods. My problem is implementing the tactics. Butapparently I'm not alone.One tactic is creating a "junk" email address. I went toa free email service and thought Stupidman needs an emailaddress. Guess what? Stupidman was taken, in fact thefirst three versions were taken. I finally secured aversion but even creating an email address does not comeeasy for me.Downloading the book was easy(at least it was with Winzip)but then IPP says I have to make a copy. Never having madea copy my blood pressure begins to rise, but there is alink to a tutorial site and a brief description of thesteps for copying. Wanting to delay the inevitable andavoid becoming gaseous dog(see previous articles) I clickthe tutorial.Remembering we have Windows 98, I select it, then "gettingstarted" and......get the old "the page cannot be displayednotice". (Sometimes I think this is a cookie that attachesto me rather than a computer.) After two more attempts Igive up and return to IPP.For those of you who know what you are doing, this nextpassage is really boring and is intended for soul mates ofStupidman.Usually my son,Greased Lightning, ignores everything I saybut one time he responded to my mutterings about the wastedprinter ribbon and paper when I would print a 22 pagearticle and only wanted 3 paragraphs. He responded,contemptuously of course, by showing me how to select aportion of the article. Click the cursor (also known asthe curser when your hand twitches) at the top left cornerof what you want to copy, left click and hold,then drag tobottom right corner of what you want to copy. Thishighlighted area can be printed. Now hold the Ctrl keydown and press P. A gray page will pop up, click selection(it's in the middle on the left side) then ok. If you havepaper in the printer(a future article?) you'll get a copyof exactly what you want. (Warning: More than likely thegray page defaults to all. If you get too cocky with thisnew technique you will forget to click selection and end upwith 22 pages of stuff).Using this valuable technique, I copy the instructions onhow to copy a file. (I'm a lot more comfortable with hardcopy in one hand while I hit the wrong keys with theother.) (In a future article I'll describe some of theexperiences I've had with the Alt key.)Instructions in hand, I try to copy the file/book. Unfortunately,as I found out the next day, the instructionswere written for PKzip while I have Winzip. But 30 minuteslater,mostly due to hesitancy and gaseous dog phobia, I endup with a good copy of the book by following theinstructions within Winzip.(I really don't know how ithappened as the memory is very blurred.)A word of caution to members of the tribe of Stupidman whoare reading the book. Chapter 3 is very technical and fullof alphabet soup. If you are like me you will be lessstressed if you read the last screen of Chapter 3 (thematerial in the yellow box) before you read the rest of thechapter. (It's ok to do this,it's not like reading thelast page of a mystery when you are in the middle of thebook.)Coming Soon: Stupidman Brands,Sends Email Attachment Stupidman Creates SIG File,Opens LockThe Internet Adventures Of StupidmanWill Put A Smile On Your Facewww.stupidmanok.com WEBMASTERS AND EZINE PUBLISHERSYou may reproduce this article on your site, or link tothis page, or reprint it in your Ezine.
