JENIS-JENIS KAIN SPREI

Mengenal Karakteristik Bahan-Bahan Kain Sprei

Sprei adalah kain rumah tangga yang penting. Anda tentunya tidak tahan untuk tidur di atas kasur tanpa dialasi kain sprei. Namun, kain sprei yang digunakan pun tentunya harus berkualitas baik untuk menjamin kenyamanan tidur Anda. Jika ingin membeli kain sprei sebaiknya Anda mengetahui jenis-jenis kain sprei terlebih dahulu. Bahan kain sprei yang paling umum dan paling direkomendasikan adalah kain katun. Kain katun sangat direkomendasikan karena sifat bahannya yang tidak panas dan mampu menyerap keringat. Kain katun sangat nyaman untuk digunakan sehingga menambah kenyenyakan tidur Anda.

Terdapat dua macam bahan kain sprei dari katun, yaitu cotton combed dan cotton caded. Cotton combed memiliki kualitas yang lebih bagus dibanding cotton caded. Serat benang yang digunakan untuk kain sprei cotton combed lebih halus.  Kain sprei ini juga memiliki rajutan dan penampilan yang lebih rata. Sebaliknya, kain sprei cotton caded memiliki serat benang yang kurang halus dan hasil rajutannya juga kurang rata. Namun demikian, keduanya tetap nyaman digunakan karena sama-sama terbuat dari serat kapas. Jenis kain sprei yang kedua adalah TC (teteron cotton). Kain sprei ini terbuat dari campuran cotton combed 35% dan polyester (teteron) 65%. Kain sprei TC kurang mampu menyerap keringat namun lebih tahan kusut juga tidak melar walaupun telah dicuci berkali-kali.

        Selanjutnya, terdapat kain sprei CVC (cotton viscose). kain sprei ini merupakan perpaduan dari 55% cotton combed dan 45% viscose. Vicose merupakan serat yang terbuat dari kayu. Jenis kain sprei ini juga nyaman untuk digunakan karena mampu menyerap keringat. Tingkat susut pola bahan kain ini juga lebih rendah jika dibandingkan dengan katun. Yang terakhir adalah kain sprei dari bahan polyester. Kain sprei ini dibuat dari serat sintetis yang umumnya juga digunakan untuk membuat produk plastik. Kain sprei ini kurang mampu menyerap keringat sehingga memiliki tingkat kenyamanan yang paling rendah. Namun, Anda tidak perlu khawatir karena polyester umumnya dicampur dengan viscose, linen, atau katun untuk mengurangi sifat panasnya.

Mini-tornado, hail strikes South Bandung (NEWS ITEM)

             A “mini-tornado” coupled with a hail storm hit some areas in South Bandung on Wednesday afternoon for approximately 30 minutes.
           The weather panicked residents as hail stones penetrated corrugated iron rooftops. The wind swirled things around while hail stones made thudding sounds on our roof. Residents reported that the authorities had shut down the electricity in the area to prevent short circuits
          “There was no sign of rain. All of a sudden, we saw dark clouds above followed by strong winds. Afterwards, it rained hard with hail stones,” said a resident.

What is a tornado?  (REPORT)

            Tornadoes are known as one of the most damaging disasters. What is the description of tornadoes? A tornado is a very powerful column of winds which spirals around a center of low atmospheric pressure. A tornado will look like a large black funnel which hangs down from a storm cloud.
          The name "tornado" derives from the Latin "tonare". It means "to thunder." While the Spanish developed the word into "tornear" which means "to turn or twist". This is why a tornado is sometimes called twister or cyclone.
          The winds inside a twister can spin around at speeds up to 500 miles an hour, but it usually travels at roughly 300 miles an hour. This speed twisting makes a tornado the most dangerous storm.
             The average tornado has a diameter of about 200 to 300 yards. The smaller tornadoes are known as satellite tornadoes. These small offspring, about 50 yards across, can be very fierce and do lots of damage.
          The forming of a tornado can be very quick. Sometimes it can form in a minute or less. A tornado can travel across the ground at high speeds, then it can suddenly vanish. Most tornadoes last less than twenty minutes and travel less than 15 miles. However, the super storms sometimes travel over 100 miles before they are exhausted.

Simultaneous Interpretation Past and Present

SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETERS

Perkuliahan ke 11

Simultaneous Interpreting

A.What is a simultaneous interpreter?

A simultaneous interpreter is - as you can tell by looking at the words - someone who interprets for someone in another language while the speaker speaks without interruption. This is the opposite of consecutive interpreting, because a consecutive interpreter awaits his turn and does not start speaking until the speaker allows him the time to do so. Simultaneous interpreting is one of the most common kinds of interpreting. But also the most difficult. Very few translators (who are used to getting the time to really think about their translations) can do it, and not even all interpreters can do it well.

B.When is it necessary?

You need a simultaneous interpreter when at least one person attending your event cannot understand what the speaker says, due to the fact that he speaks a different language, and there is no time or opportunity to let the speaker pause regularly.

Some examples...

• You are holding a stockholders meeting in English, but several trustees or members of your board of management, and several stockholders, speak Chinese and could have difficulty with the English language. And perhaps you are expecting questions to be asked in Chinese which the English speaking people present should also understand. In that case it is best to use an interpreter booth, one or (preferably) more simultaneous interpreters, and a sound system with microphones for the interpreters, microphones for the speakers, and headsets for everyone.
   
• You are a marketing research company. You are going to have interviews with some respondents - in Chinese. But an English speaking representative of your foreign customer wants to listen in on several interviews. In that case, you reserve an extra room for one or more simultaneous interpreters and your guest, put a video camera and at least one microphone in the interview room, and a sound/video system connected to it in the other room, with a set of headphones for the interpreter.
   
• You are organizing a symposium with Chinese speakers, but are expecting a number of English speaking visitors. In that case you hire one or more simultaneous interpreters, and a so-called whispering or guide set for the sound (microphone, infrared transmitter and sets of headphones).
   
• An English-speaking customer of your law firm sues one of his Chinese business relations. You hire one or more simultaneous interpreters and let them whisper a translation of the proceedings of the trial.
  You are organizing a conference with both English-speaking and Chinese-speaking speakers and visitors. There will be speeches and discussions in both languages. You reserve a conference center or hall, an interpreter booth, microphones, headphones and... simultaneous interpreters.

C.How many interpreters do I need?

In the examples you regularly see mention of a need to hire more than one interpreter. But now you might ask: How do I determine whether I need one interpreter or more? In order to be able to find the answer, you need to know how a simultaneous interpreter works. It is really a very complex process, one that only very few interpreters can handle well. A speaker is speaking, and that speaker does not stop or pause. He keeps talking. Therefore the interpreter must do the following while the speaker is talking:

• listen to what the speaker is saying
• translate it in his mind,
• render the translation in his microphone, and
• (and this is the most difficult part) at the same time listen to what is being said while he is speaking himself.

This requires a kind of mental miracle, and that is why it is an unusually demanding and complex activity to carry out, one that requires an unusual level of concentration, which tires out the interpreter rather soon - which affects his concentration, which, in turn, affects his performance after a while, and ... well, you get the picture. There are some solutions for this problem: Sometimes the event's program offers possibilities for regular breaks, perhaps because of visual presentations in between the speeches. In that case it is not impossible that one interpreter will suffice. But if the speeches go on and on, you may expect the interpreter to get too tired after a while. In that case it can be necessary to hire more than one interpreter, so they can alternate. Or perhaps you can get another interpreter for different parts of the day - be creative. But whatever you do, do not underestimate the need for a solution of the interpreter's exhaustion problem, because a serious loss of concentration when he gets tired, will result in a loss of quality in the translation. Of course it is expensive to hire interpreters. But if you are going to spend money on it anyhow, why not make sure you get quality translations? An exhausted interpreter will do no one any good. Moreover - if an agency or an interpreter estimates a potential assignment to be too exhausting for one interpreter to do well, and you are not willing to pay for an extra interpreter, there is a good chance that the assignment will be flatly refused.

D.Are there different kinds of simultaneous interpreters?

Yes and no. Although the principle is the same in all cases, there are even different names for different kinds of simultaneous interpreters.

Whispering interpreters are simultaneous interpreters who whisper their translations. Usually they work under circumstances where the listeners are a minority as far as their language is concerned: it can be one person, or perhaps just a few. Is it one or two people, then the interpreter will usually work without sound equipment and he will literally whisper his translation to his listeners.

Conversation interpreters can be simultaneous interpreters, but not necessarily. In the abovementioned example of the marketing research company it is clear that a simultaneous interpreter is needed to translate the interviews. But is there time for people to pause during a conversation, and is there no objection to having participants in the conversation wait for the translation each time a sentence is spoken, you may consider using a consecutive interpreter.

Court interpreters (= legal interpreters) are usually simultaneous interpreters. The chance, however, that you will need a court interpreter, is rather slim - unless you work for a court. Since most courts already have a list of interpreters they work with, we will not explain the work of this kind of simultaneous interpreters any further.
Conference interpreters are, in fact, always simultaneous interpreters. They generally work in interpreter's booths.
