![]() You can also readily see tables, diagrams, layout, etc. Similarly, if you’re working with a document converted from a pdf file and you come across an unwanted hard return, you can easily press Alt+Delete to cancel the segment you’ve just opened manually delete the hard return, and re-open the segment with the whole sentence. It’s a simple matter to press Alt+PageDown to expand the segment (or Alt+PageUp to shrink the segment, if you want the segment smaller). The fact that you’re working within Word means that problems become apparent as you work sometimes a segment may only contain half a sentence as there’s a full stop in the middle, or a colon. It’s easy to create glossaries on the fly (highlight the term in the source segment, then press Crtl+Alt+T, then repeat with the term in the target segment) and you can use up to three glossaries of your choice, but only one translation memory (plus a BTM, a large translation memory that you can use for concordance searches, but not add to as you work). There are a few easy-to-remember keystrokes: Alt+Down to move to the next segment, Alt+End to end your translation, Alt+Home to go back to where you last left off… The manual is straightforward and there’s an excellent Yahoo group for support. As I’ve said, it operates within Word, so you aren’t faced with a different working environment from the outset. That was another huge boost as it introduced me to the delights of concordance searching and untranslatable attributes, all concepts I’d heard of but had no real understanding of what they were or how you applied them! Since then, I’ve learned as I’ve progressed, teaching myself as I’ve needed to know something, be it aligning previous translations to stock translation memories, building glossaries, or discovering the delights of Pandora’s Box to help Wordfast work smoothly with Dragon voice recognition software.įor me, Wordfast is extremely intuitive, ideal for translators who aren’t particularly technologically-minded. After a year or so, I attended an intermediate training course run by John di Rico in Nice in the autumn of 2007, following on from the ProZ conference in Aix. ![]() I’d already downloaded the (free) trial software before attending the workshop and managed to do a test translation or two, so, armed with my new-found knowledge, I bought the full version of the software soon after my return and I haven’t looked back since!įor me, the beauty of Wordfast was very much that you could learn on the job admittedly only at a very basic level initially, but you can achieve good results without any formal training. After the two days, my mind was made up: Déja Vu would have been my first preference, but was too expensive for a freelancer not yet working full-time, Trados (Workbench) was far too complicated and way out of my comfort zone (in those days), but Wordfast seemed to offer the best of both worlds – reasonably priced, relatively straightforward to use and operating in a familiar Word environment. It was a fascinating opportunity to spend an intensive weekend seeing what all the fuss was about – and an invaluable chance to try all three tools hands-on for myself AND to get to grips with the basics of CAT tools. However, my interest was piqued by an ITI workshop run by Michael Benis back in 2006: an introduction to CAT tools, looking specifically at Trados, Wordfast and Déja Vu. I didn’t think I translated particularly repetitive texts and I certainly received many documents by fax (or, heaven forbid, by post!) that didn’t remotely lend themselves to electronic processing in a computer-assisted translation environment. In fact, I used to dictate my translations to be typed up by the typing pool, but that’s an entirely different story… I was quite happy with my translation workflow, but when I got divorced in 2005 and started to work towards translating full-time, talk of translation memory and what it could do to help translators’ productivity started to filter through to my not particularly receptive ears. I’ve been translating in a professional capacity for 31 years now, most of which have been without translation memory of any kind, hard though that may be for newcomers to the profession to imagine. These are the only tools I’ve used in earnest, so whilst I’ve heard great things about Déja Vu and MemoQ, I can’t possibly comment. ![]() I’ve been meaning to write about CAT tools for some time now, but before you all shoot me down in flames, I should start off by saying that I don’t claim to be a technological wizard! This is a purely personal analysis, based on my use of Wordfast Classic and Trados Studio.

For a complete rundown of the build, here are the links for the blog series for ease of access: Intro, PCBs, Panel, Build Guide, Mechanical, Pico/TX816 IO code, and finally usage. The video demo (embedded below) shows off the system running a very 80s-sounding rendition of Holst’s famous ‘Jupiter’ from the planet series, and we all agree it sounds pretty sweet. The firmware for the Pico part of the system can be found on the firmware GitHub. Both PCBs, including a PCB-based front panel, were developed with KiCAD. Also sitting on this PCB is the GY-PCM5102 I 2S DAC, and the MIDI connectors needed to connect to the system controller. wanted to emulate the look and feel of the original TX816 aesthetic, developing a custom PCB handling the user interface for four of the eight channels, and a second acting as an interface to the Raspberry Pi using a Pico. But with the power of modern hackable electronics, and the MiniDexed firmware running bare-metal on a Raspberry Pi getting access to a compatible synth doesn’t have to break the bank. This beast of a synth was used by the cool bands of the 80s as well as TV studios, and ownership of the original machine is an expensive investment. When it asks for a username/password, it’s the user you created on your Pi.Over at Simple DIY ElectroMusic Projects has released a complete DIY modular design for simulating the classic 80s Yamaha TX816 DX/FM modular digital synthesizer.

The player with the lowest hand value loses a life. ![]() Each player decides which suit is their point suit, and totals up their cards in that suit. After the player to the knocker's right has discarded, all players reveal their cards. You must keep the hand you had at the start of that turn, but each other player gets one final turn to draw and discard. If at the start of your turn, you believe that your hand is not the lowest and that at least one other player will be unable to beat your hand even if they are allowed one more turn, you can knock instead of drawing a card. However, if you draw the top card of the stock, you are free to discard the card that you drew onto the discard pile, leaving your hand unchanged. You must keep the card you took and discard one of the cards that was previously in your hand. Note that if you choose to take the top card from the discard pile, it is illegal to discard the same card, leaving the position unchanged. discarding one card face up on top of the discard pile.drawing the top card either from the stock pile (without showing it to the other players) or from the discard pile.The player to dealer's left begins and the turn to play passes clockwise around the table. During play, the discard pile is always kept "squared up" so that only the top card is visible and available to be taken. The next card is turned face up on the table to start the discard pile, and the remaining undealt cards are placed face down next to it to form the draw pile or stock. The cards are shuffled and are dealt out one at a time, starting with the player to dealer's left and continuing clockwise until everyone has a hand of three cards. The turn to deal passes on clockwise after each hand. The maximum hand value is 31, consisting of the ace and two ten-point cards in the same suit.Įxamples: K- 8- 5: value 23 (sum of all 3 cards)Ī- 6- 4: value 11 (the ace is worth more than the spades)ĭetermine the first dealer in any manner you desire. If you have three different suits the value of your hand is the value of the highest card in it. If only two cards are in the same suit you can add those, or use the value of the odd card if it is higher than the sum of the other two. So if you have three cards of the same suit, you can add up all three. The value of a three card hand is calculated by adding up the value of the cards held in any one suit. For scoring hands, the Ace is worth 11 points, the Kings, Queens, and Jacks are worth 10, and all other cards are worth their pip value.

This Blitz is not to be confused with Dutch Blitz, which is a version of Racing Demon, sometimes played with special cards.Įric Kent learned the game in the late 70's from older siblings, who had in turn learned it from friends visiting from the UK, and they called it Ride the Bus, and used a somewhat different method of keeping score.the Greek banking game 31, which is similar to 21 except that the object is to draw cards adding as near as possible to 31 without exceeding it.the German game 31, also known as Schwimmen, Schnauz or Hosen 'runter, which is like the game on this page, except that cards are swapped with a central pool of three cards, rather than using a draw and discard mechanism.There are at least two other games called 31:.This Scat has no connection whatever with the German national card game Skat.Some of these names can cause confusion with other games: In the USA it has various names including Scat, 31, Blitz, Cabbage, Cadillac, Kitty, High Hat and Geronimo. There are many slightly different versions of the rules: some of these are listed in the variations section. It is played in the USA, the UK and other places. Players have a three card hand and the aim is to collect cards in a single suit worth 31 points or as near as possible to that total.

She has to call room service-even room service designated for only NoMad has a lag time. In a city where cocktails are easier to grab than coffee, the French woman is screwed. She’ll need to use the safe for her lingerie! And there are no coffee makers in the rooms. Unfortunately, the French woman can only have one really good dress with her, because there are two drawers the size of small end tables in the closet. Treats and notes left in rooms exhibit knowledge of each individual guest-a book, a record, a scented candle. NoMad knows its customers like a doorman knows a condo’s residents. (There are also mosaic-tiled marble showers in the bathrooms for a quick rinse after a fling on the couch.) And should the French Woman want to bathe and socialize, or prefer a romantic bubble bath with a view, pedestal tubs are one step from the Bellino linen-topped beds. “We try to make the guest rooms feel collected,” said Zobler. The NoMad feels remarkably homey, down to the green-marble thresholds and dark-paneled doors that open into airy rooms with hardwood floors, original art on the walls, and all the signature finishes that differentiate NoMad: nailhead trim, ABC carpets, velvet chesterfield couches (housekeeping says they’re easy to clean!), and lots of layering detail-books, lamps, barware. He knows not to use the word “classy,” and so the French woman leaves with him. But if she’s ready to gamble, the NoMad’s high-limit gambling room resembles something in Monaco with its surprisingly masculine hexagonal room, almost entirely lit by the five-point Louis Tiffany topaz stained glass ceiling-a place where a man of discernment retires to gamble his discreet millions. Here, the French woman can relax without ever having to see a casino. Opulent jewel tones-garnet, sapphire, amethyst, and emerald-enliven the tufted velvet pieces set against subdued gold-flecked architectural glass, charcoal, aubergine, and black paint, or dark floral wallpaper.
