Source text - German Wo gefräst wird, entsteht Zukunft
Auf dem Rüsselsheimer Werksgelände ist eine Hightech-Schmiede für Designmodelle und Konzeptfahrzeuge an den Start gegangen. Die Opel Post besucht die Kollegen im Zentrum für Hochgeschwindigkeitsfräsen.
Von links nach rechts. Stopp. Zurück in die Ausgangsposition. Ein Haken nach links oben und das Ganze von vorne – wie ein junger Hund tollt die Hartmetallspitze umher. Braune Hartplastikspäne fliegen durch die Luft. Ein leises Surren ist zu hören. Choreographin der tollkühnen Bewegungen hinter der Glasscheibe ist Stefanie Duinker. Die 23-jährige CNC-Dreherin hat die Hightech-Fräse, die das Werkstück bearbeitet, programmiert. Mit jeder neuen Bewegung ändern sich die Angaben zu Achs-Radien auf dem Bildschirm der Steuerungseinheit. Bewegung für Bewegung trägt der [1}Fräser{2] Material ab. Langsam erkennt man auf dem eingespannten Werkstück ausgewählte, charakteristische Linien und perfekte Schwünge.
Translation - English Where There's Milling, The Future Is Formed
A high-tech forge for design models and concept vehicles has been launched at the Rüsselsheim plant. Opel Post visits employees at the center for high-speed milling.
From left to right. Stopping. Back to the starting position. Zigzagging to the top left and then everything over again, the hard metal tip romps just like a puppy. Brown hard plastic shavings fly through the air. A quiet whirring can be heard. The choreographer of the daring movements behind the glass screen is Stefanie Duinker. The 23-year-old CNC operator programmed the high-tech milling machine that’s handling the workpiece. With every new movement, the data relating to the axis radii change on the control unit’s display screen. The milling-machine operator strips away material one movement at a time. Slowly you can make out the chosen characteristic lines and perfect curves on the clamped workpiece.

Source text - Russian Отсутствие в проектной документации необходимых решений по рекультивации земель, а также выделенных на это необходимых денежных средств, обоснованных в сметной документации, может служить причиной получения отрицательного заключения по проекту ВСМ в Главгосэкспертизе России. Это приведет к дополнительным расходам на корректировку проекта, потребует оплаты услуг по проведению повторной экспертизы и, самое главное, приведет к задержке начала строительных работ. Последнее обстоятельство может быть причиной ощутимых финансовых издержек.
Существуют (в случае нарушений или срыва сроков работ по рекультивации) риски возникновения конфликтов с землевладельцами и местными администрациями.
Статьей 8.7 Кодекса РФ «Об административных правонарушениях» [55] предусматриваются административные наказания:
Translation - English The lack of the necessary solutions for land cultivation in the project documentation, as well as its allocated needed funds in budget documentation, may serve as a reason for the HSR project's disapproval from the Russian State Expert Commission (Glavgosekspertiza). This will lead to further expenditure on the project's adjustment, require payment of services for a repeat examination to be carried out, and will most significantly lead to a delay in the commencement of construction work. The latter circumstance may be reason for appreciable financial costs.
There are risks (if there is a breach or upset to the terms of cultivation work) of conflicts arising with landowners and local authorities.
Article 8.7 of the Russian Federation Code "For administrative Infractions" [55] provides for administrative penalties:

Russian to English: Change in the physicochemical properties of water under the influence of an alternating frequency-modulated signal General field: Science Detailed field: Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
Source text - Russian Частотно-модулируемые электрические сигналы представляют собой нелинейно-искаженные сигналы с двумя интервалами однородности. Первый интервал аппроксимирован синусоидой основной частоты (fном = 50 Гц), второй – затухающим экспоненциальным сигналом. Генератор, получая мгновенные сообщения значения тока или напряжения, преобразует их, изменяя частоту несущего колебания, но оставляя неизменной его амплитуду, и в такой форме передает эту информацию системе [3].
Целью данной работы является исследование влияния электрофизической обработки дистиллированной воды на ее физико-химические свойства посредством приложения к ней переменного электрического потенциала, создаваемого электродами прибора «TRAL».
Translation - English Frequency-modulated electric signals are nonlinear distorted signals with two homogenous intervals. The first interval is approximated as a sinusoidal basic frequency (fnom=50 Hz), the second is a damped exponential signal. On receiving instantaneous current and voltage values, the generator transforms them, altering the frequency of the carrier wave, but leaving its amplititude unaltered, and relays this information to the system in that form. [3].
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of the electrophysical treatment of distilled water on its physicochemical properties by means of applying an alternating electric potential to it with the 'TRAL' device electrodes.

Russian to English: How to promote business using the internet General field: Marketing Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - Russian Как раскрутить бизнес с помощью Интернета
Чрезвычайно интересным было выступление Бориса Акимова, генерального директора Фермерского проекта «Лавка» — прямо-таки учебное пособие на тему «Как раскрутить бизнес с помощью Интернета». Свое выступление автор достижений, о которых сейчас пойдет речь, провел в рамках темы «Использование современных технологий для привлечения и удержания потребителя (case studies)». Приведу его текст дословно, поскольку выступавший — профессиональный журналист, прекрасно владеет языком, и он очень красочно рассказал свою историю.
«Не удивляетесь, что у меня фермерский проект, а я почему-то участвую в секции, посвященной ИТ? — начал Борис Акимов. — Тут уже говорили, что наступит время, когда бизнес без ИТ не сможет существовать. Так вот: наш проект показывает, что его суть в ИТ, хотя вроде бы он и фермерский».
Translation - English How to promote business using the internet
The talk was extremely interesting from Boris Akimov – general director of the LavkaLavka farm project. It was really a teaching aid on the topic of ‘how to promote business using the internet’. This accomplished founder gave his talk on the topic of ‘the use of modern technology in attracting and retaining customers (case studies)’. I will quote his text verbatim since the speaker, a professional journalist, has a wonderful command of language and told his story very vividly.
“Don’t be puzzled by the fact that I have a farm project and am taking part in the workshop on IT for some reason”, begins Boris Akimov. “We’ve already discussed how the time is coming when business won’t be able to survive without IT. And here you have it: our project shows that it has IT at its core, even if it is ostensibly a farming cooperative.”

With an economy increasingly focused on exports, the region’s commercial and cooperation tries with the wider world are growing ever stronger.
It draws investment from many countries.
It is the centre for vast mineral resources and is home to the largest industrial complex and to highly professional and creative personnel.
Sverdlovsk Oblast is a geographically vast and diverse region and divided into administrative districts.
Ore is mined and processed, and metals are smelted, in the harsh climatic conditions of the Northern Administrative District.
The unique flora and fauna belonging to the foothills of the Nether-Polar Urals and the forest and water resources have all been preserved here.
The mining administrative district with Nizhny Tagil at its centre is a world-renowned region of metallurgy and mechanical engineering, where the most sophisticated machines and equipment are manufactured and major exhibitions are held.
The ‘semi-precious stone belt’ – marking rich deposits of gemstone minerals – proceeds from this district.
This is where the Demidov factories also originated.

Jaime Holmes BA German & Russian, DipTrans IoLET (“the gold standard for translation professionals”), MITI.
Your translator for ‘technology’ and ‘marketing’ content—combining technical accuracy and creativity to produce well-crafted prose.
Translating from German and Russian affords me the wonderful privilege of communicating and sharing your amazing ideas and innovations—to help you progress in your journey—whether that be in growing your client base, professional development, improving your customer service or promoting a social cause.
I’m all geared towards getting your ideas out there—making a positive difference by helping you make inroads. This makes translation for me both enjoyable and meaningful.
As well as being a part of new and exciting innovations in a fast-changing world, translation also allows me to enjoyably keep abreast of cutting-edge developments in industry, in society and on the market.
I am a native English speaker and translator, working from German and Russian into English. My experience encompasses technical fields (incl. hydraulic & pneumatic systems, the energy sector, chemistry, electronics, oil & gas, and transport), patents and marketing content (such as press releases, surveys and website translations). I also translate in the fields of tourism & leisure and broader (more general) fields. I combine both technical accuracy and creative flair.
In particular, patent translation has also become one of my key specialisms over the years, in which I regularly translate patentability reports, claims, specifications and abstracts for individual clients and the World Intellectual Property Organisation.
My translation career began with Daimler Ltd Stuttgart (then Daimler-Chrysler), which furnished me with experience in translating technical specifications, where my work largely consisted of translating and proofreading automobile legislation.
I have since built up many years of experience, which is now attested by my qualified membership of the Institute of Translation & Interpreting (UK) as well as my Diploma in Translation from IoLET—the acclaimed “gold standard” in translation.
I am fluent in German and Russian. Living in Russia for 6 years as a registered sole trader has given me particularly valuable cultural and linguistic knowledge and understanding of the Russian language.
I am also acquainted with HR (human resources) practices, having worked for NOMS (of the Ministry of Justice) HR department where I resolved issues regarding pay, employee records, performance management, attendance management policy and pensions.
With advanced level qualifications in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics), I am technically minded and translate in a number of technical fields.
I graduated from the University of Nottingham with a Joint Honours degree in German and Russian, with distinction in spoken Russian.
