Source text - French Ces pas ont 345 000 ans
C’est désormais établi : les plus anciennes empreintes connues de pieds humains, laissées dans les cendres encore fraiches du volcan Roccamonfina (sud de l’Italie) remontent à 345 000 ans.
Ces 56 traces de 20cm de long et de 10 de large, surnommés « les pas du diable », avaient été découvertes en 2003.
Leur datation, réalisée au Laboratoire des sciences et du climat et de l’environnement de Gif-sur-Yvette, grâce à la mesure des isotopes de l’argon contenus dans la roche volcanique, vient de livrer ce chiffre, précis à 6 000 ans près.
Les hominidés qui les ont laissées devaient être des représentants d’Homo heidelbergensis, espèce qui a suivi Homo erectus après sa sortie d’Afrique et qui a précédé Homo neandertalensis et Homo sapiens.
Ils étaient bipèdes, mesuraient environ 1,35 m, et devaient fuir une éruption qui s’annonçait, car leurs empreintes ont été recouvertes par une couche de lave qui les a figées.
Notre étoile n’est pas tout à fait ronde.
Grace aux données recueillies par le satellite Rhessi, Martin Fivian, de l’université de Berkeley, a calculé que le diamètre du Soleil est plus court de 12 km selon l’axe polaire que dans le plan équatorial. Soit 0,001% de différence !
Comme pour la Terre, la force centrifuge, due à la rotation du Soleil sur lui-même y est sans doute pour quelque chose. Mais c’est surtout son champ magnétique, qui, en agissant sur la pression du gaz en fusion, déformerait notre étoile.
Extraits de Science et Vie, décembre 2008
Translation - English These footsteps are 345,000 years old
It has now been confirmed: the oldest known prints of human feet, left in the ash of the Roccamonfina volcano (south of Italy) while the ash was still fresh, are 345,000 years old.
These 56 tracks, 20 cm long and 10 cm wide, nicknamed “the devil’s footsteps”, were first discovered in 2003.
Scientists at the Laboratory of sciences, the climate and the environment of Gif-sur-Yvette, using techniques, which measure the argon isotopes contained in the volcanic rock, have just dated them to this figure, accurate to within about 6,000 years, .
The hominids who left them must have been representatives of Homo heidelbergensis, the species which succeeded Homo erectus after his exit from Africa and which preceded Homo neandertalensis and Homo sapiens.
They were bipedal, about 1.35 m tall, and must have been fleeing an eruption which was threatening, for their footprints were covered by a layer of lava which has solidified them.
Our star is not completely round
Thanks to the data collected by the Rhessi satellite, Martin Fivian, from the University of Berkeley, has calculated that the diameter of the Sun is 12 km shorter along its polar axis than across its equatorial plane. That is to say a difference of 0.001% !
Like the Earth, the Sun has a centrifugal force, caused by its rotation on its axis, which is really quite considerable. But its magnetic field, acting on the pressure of the gas in the fusion processes, is considered the main cause of the deformation of our star.

Translation - English Other elements and collections
On the ground floor of the Museum fossils and minerals considered special, either for their spectacular appearance or for their excellent state of preservation are exhibited in three display cases (72-74).
Among the minerals worthy of note are the assemblage of crystals of gypsum, from Fuentes de Ebro (Zaragoza), the magnificent example of pyrites from Lucainena de las Torres (Almería), the vibrant red crystal of elbaite, (rubelite), from the high Lingonha (Mozambique) and, lastly, the largest crystal of vivianite extracted in Spain (Murcia).
Among the fossils of special interest are the collection of trilobites from famous localities and a salamander from the Miocene with the traces of soft tissues from Ribesalbes (Castellón), the skeletal structures of which are in an excellent state of preservation.
A display case with an exceptional specimen of pyrites from the most important site in the world, the Navajún (La Rioja) and by a large scale montage which represents the excavation of the remains of the mastodon Anancus arvernensis in the Pliocene deposits of Las Higueruelas (Alcolea de Calatrava, Ciudad Real) occupies the central area on this floor.
In the corners of the main floor four themed display cases (79-82) contain exhibitions on Ornamental Minerals and Gems, Amber and Fossils, The Physical Properties of Minerals and Crystallographic Systems.

1.3 Service Contract
The services described will be put out to contract for an obligatory period of 60 (sixty) months from the date of the award of the bid. The definition of the programming, implementation, development and operation of the services are set out in later sections of this document. At the end of this obligatory period, the SAT will have the possibility of opting for one of three mechanisms to guarantee is continuing operation:
4) The renewal of the contract object of this bid.
5) The renewal of the contract object of this bid, with the option of purchasing the loaned components at residual value.
6) The opening of a new bid with similar services.
The XXXXX Supplier will have to take into account, for the purpose of his economic proposal, the useful life of the infrastructure which he will make available to the SAT for the delivery of his services, reflecting this in the assessment of what is possible, in financial benefits in bidding for the services, if the said useful life of some components is greater than the duration of the project.
The assignment of the services will be to a sole supplier in a single consignment.
1.4 Current Situation
The process of the current transaction, described generally, starts when the importers/exporters need to perform the import/export/transit of goods to/from/via Mexico and fulfil the formalities to obtain the licences/permissions/authorisations from the relevant authorities.
In processes related to Foreign Trade, both in private industry and in government, we find the following statistics:
• Approximately 30 participants involved (Shipping Agents, Customs Agents, Exporters, Importers, etc.)
• Approximately 40 different documents used in the supply chain, non tariff, customs restrictions and regulations, among others.
• Approximately 200 different information data, between 60 and 70% of which are captured on more than one occasion in the different government departments (RFC, Folio, Validities [Vigencias], Country of Origin, etc.)
• There exist 35 non tariff regulations and restrictions, in compliance with Annex 22 of the Norms of General Character of Foreign Trade.
• Systems have developed for exchanges between Customs and the Secretary of the Economy (SE), the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock-rearing, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (SAGARPA), the Health Secretary (SS), the Secretary of National Defence (SEDENA) and the Secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT).
• Some 162 formalities with 310 different types, related to operations of import, export and transit of goods in the country have been identified.
• 767 Customs Agents and 670 Customs Representatives exist in the census.
• The census of active importers is 55,535.
• Around 37,853 export permits are issued by all the government departments involved.
• Around 1, 133, 349 import certificates are issued by all the government departments involved.
• 7.5 million Standard licences and 6.5 million remittances of funds are processed each year.
• On average each Customs Agent and/or Customs Representative prepares 811 licences per month.
• Each licence, on average relies on 7 pages of annexes which are sent to Customs.
• In addition, each licence relies on 7 pages of annexes which are for the exclusive use between the Importer and the Customs Agent and/or Representative (invoices, supporting documents, working papers, etc.)
• The Importer's archive consists of its licence and 7 annexes.
• The Customs Agent's and/or Representative's archive consists of its licence and 14 annexes.
• On average between 7 and 14 pages are annexed to the licence, pages which have to do with the compliance with the tariff regulations and restrictions which sometimes are lost in the inspection platforms of the Customs in our country.
• From 1 hour to 90 working days (depending on the number of licences applied for) are needed in the General Customs Administration to achieve the delivery of certified copies of licences.
• For certification, the process can take from one hour to three working days (depending on the number of licences applied for).
• The licences are not stored within adequate standards of security because of the fact that there exist wet, wrinkled licences, etc. However preventative methods in case of a disaster cannot be relied on.
• Working conditions in the store are not adequate, generating additional expenses, as for example masks, respirators, etc.
• The volume of paper which is handled at present is equivalent annually to some 27,000 trees.
• The physical archives have to be conserved, as a minimum, for 5 years.
• So that Customs can conserve a physical archive of 68,124 annexes to licences, a space of approximately 18 square metres is required.
• An importer safeguards on average 252 licences per year in his archive, which takes up 5 square metres.

Domaine de Merlin, l’enchanteur, de la fée Viviane et des chevaliers ensorcelés….la forêt de Brocéliande est bien ce royaume mythique de la légende arthurienne.
Partez explorer ses mystères en prenant garde aux sortilèges qui pourraient vous faire aimer ce lieu plus que nul autre.
En arrivant à Paimpont, face à sa très belle abbaye du XVII siècle qui se mire dans un lac placide, une autre Bretagne se dévoile, intemporelle et mystérieuse.
Voici l’entrée de l’antique forêt de Brocéliande dont les paysages envoûtants, succession de sous-bois, landes, fougères et vallons, nourrissent depuis toujours l’imaginaire des hommes.
Légendaires balades
Il faut prendre son temps et s’aventurer au hasard des sentiers pour que la magie opère.
Au détour d’un chemin apparaîtra alors le Val Sans Retour, superbe vallon sinueux et sauvage dominé par les falaises pourpres qui serait le domaine de la fée Morgane.

Translation - English Brocéliande, Land of Legends
Realm of Merlin, the enchanter, of the fairy Viviane and of the bewitched knights ….the forest of Brocéliande, is really the mythical kingdom of the Arthurian legend.
Set off to explore its mysteries but beware the magic spells which could make you fall in love with this place as with no other.
When you arrive in Paimpont and look across at its very fine seventeenth century abbey, which is reflected in a placid lake, another Brittany reveals itself, timeless and mysterious.
Here is the entrance to the ancient forest of Brocéliande, whose bewitching landscapes, a succession of brushwood, heaths, bracken and little valleys, have always fed the imagination of men.
Fairy tale walks
You have to take your time and wander at will along the footpaths for the magic to work.
At the bend of a path you will catch sight of the Val Sans Retour, a superb little winding, wild valley, dominated by purple cliffs which is supposed to be the realm of Morgane, the fairy.
Nearby are situated the Miroir-aux-Fées, or Fairies’ Mirror, an isolated pond reflecting the moods of the sky, the Arbre d’Or or Tree of Gold, and the l’Hôtié de Viviane or House of Viviane
Atmosphere, atmosphere
Many other natural places of nature, such as the deep valleys of the Chambre-aux- Loups or Wolves' Chamber at Iffendic or the wild valleys of the Rivers Serein and Aff possess his same bewitching charm, which gives this region its atmosphere.
On the edge of the forest, discover the charm of the villages of Saint-Péran, Monterfil, and Tréhorenteuc with their churches and manor houses built in sandstone or in purple schist
And don’t forget the abbey-church of Saint-Méen-le-Grand, which is classified as an historical monument.

Translation - English Rennes a city which knows how to party.
Rennes is as lively by day as by night
A city of charisma, joie de vivre, dynamism…. and a lot more besides.
As a showplace of the historical and modern in Haute Bretagne this city has both elegance and real soul, making life here truly pleasant. It definitely is worth a visit!
Rennes – city of Art and History
You will fall helplessly in love with the city when you stroll through the historical centre of Rennes; in the Place des Lices and the Place de la Mairie you will come across the two architectural styles typical of Rennes. Sublime medieval half-timbered houses with colourful facades line one square, while imposing seventeenth century town houses with sculptured stonework elegantly line the other.
Only a stone’s throw away you are right in the middle of the popular shopping areas with their cobbled alleys and squares, where you can spend a wonderful time wandering and shopping. Your stroll through town leads you past church forecourts and portals, opening up views into pretty inner courtyards. Near the River Vilaine you come across the City Hall, built in the classical style, opposite the impressive, predominantly Baroque City Theatre.

Translation - English Towns of character
The historical and ancient, still flourishing towns of Bécherel, Châteaugiron and Combourg have a strange, picturesque charm which well justifies their title of “Little Towns of Character”. What, then, is the secret of their beauty?
Bécherel, Town of the Book
You can enjoy hunting for and perhaps finding a rare pearl of a book in Bécherel, a pretty Little Town of Character which has preserved its seventeenth century charm.
Town of the Book since 1989, it houses a large community of booksellers, bookbinders, artists and antiquarians whose activities constantly enliven its streets.
The town’s main attraction in spring is the Book and Arts Festival which attracts a considerable number of secondhand dealers and visitors.
Châteaugiron, a former medieval fortress
The Little Town of Character of Châteaugiron, lying between Rennes and Vitré, is another gem displaying its sixteenth century mansions with their corbels, decorated in the Gothic or Italian styles and its sailcloth merchants’ houses.
Combourg
The Little Town of Character of Combourg, the cradle of Romanticism, boasts a magnificent medieval fortress, owned by the family of the famous writer, François-René de Châteaubriand.
“It was in the woods of Combourg where I became what I am,” said the writer about the early flowering of his genius.
Enjoy strolling around the “Tranquil Lake” and let its dreams inspire you!

Credentials
German to English (RAF training, verified) French to English (RAF training, verified) French to English (The Polytechnic of Central London, verified) German to English (The Polytechnic of Central London, verified) Spanish to English (Bachelor of Laws, London University)
I am a translator of legal, scientific and technical documents, a Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, and a member of the Société Française des Traducteurs, a professional and trained translator, with experience in the fields of defence, law and education. I translate from French, German and Spanish into English. I first trained as a translator in 1976. After working in the City of London for the Munich Reinsurance Company, I spent 7 very exciting years as an officer in the Royal Air Force, where my language skills were constantly in use. I served for some time in Berlin (before the Wall came down) where I made professional and personal contacts with the French Air Force and with the German populations of our local borough of Spandau. As a qualified teacher, from 1987 to 2009, I taught French, German and Spanish in secondary schools. My native language is English and I translate only into this language. I set up my present business as a freelance translator in November 2009, but that is not a true reflection of my experience as a linguist. I have used languages in many ways, but always with accuracy and reliability, during a varied career, in which I have occupied management posts. I have translated in all my fields of expertise for customers in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium and Austria. A graduate in Laws, I translate a wide variety of legal texts. Marketing texts cover many fields including holidays e.g. part of a data base about Brittany and the revised tourist information and guided tours for an historic town in Northern Germany and various Spanish tourist leaflets. As a Science graduate, I also handle technical and scientific texts. My main specialist translation fields are:Legal, General sciences and geosciences, Tourism, Government/politics, International Org/Dev/Coop, Environment and ecology, Education, Defence/aviation. I should be delighted to work with you and await your response.
