A Saintly Remedy
Our lives today are so rushed, with our different jobs and projects, that while stuck in such chaos we don’t realize that we need to unwind a bit.
You could tell me that when you get home, you are able to relax, but I would say that you are the exception. Often times, even when we finish our work at the office, we are unable to rest, because this is exactly when the notorious “second job” starts at home: taking care of the kids, making dinner, getting the school uniforms ready for the next day, making sure that the homework was done. In other words, the stress keeps coming until much later. This is why we should strive to make the most of every moment we live.
Since I really enjoy reading about motivation, self-esteem, incentive and other such topics, I found this piece I would like to share with you and with which I greatly identified.
Did you know that you carry within your body a saintly remedy for several different things, even the liver? I’ll give you a hint: It is in your mouth and there are no contraindications to its use. Do you know the name of this remedy? Read this article and discover for yourself. Hope you can understand Portuguese though…
Yet if after reading it, you are still unable to put it to the test, think twice: This is an excellent formula and guarantees great results! 
Three Steps to Term Searcher’s Paradise
Hello everyone! After spending some time away from the blog, I want to share with all of you today a tip on a very helpful terminology search tool.
It is called IntelliWebSearch and I found out about it during a lecture by translator Fernando Campos Leza during the 3rd ABRATES International Translation and Interpretation Conference, which took place this year in Porto Alegre. These events are always so good for learning new things. And this is what I will share with you now!
IntelliWebSearch is what Michael Farrell, the guy who developed the tool, calls the “Three Steps to Term Searcher’s Paradise.” This means that you perform searches in three stages only, streamlining your work. The tool is nothing more than a series of shortcuts for your most highly used search sources to guarantee that you waste less time.
This is what it looks like:
You select the word you want to search for in any program and press CTRL+ALT+B to open the program. Then you click the Search number you want to use, granted that all are fully customizable!
By clicking GroupSearch, you search all the sources from a given group at the same time; and in PluriSearch, you search in those that you configure.
There are five groups, each one of which has 10 sources; or in other words, you can include your 50 favorite search sources, separate them into categories (groups) and configure everything in the way that is most convenient for you.
The complete configuration requires a bit of work, but it can really pay off! I am already configuring mine here…
Ah, and here I am at the ABRATES Conference with co-worker Wandrianne and my beloved former boss, Renato Beninatto! =)
