Italian to English: Interview with Italian designer General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - Italian Chi e' Francesca Romana Correale?
Sono nata in Italia da una famiglia molto tradizionale e concreta dove ho imparato a distinguere il bello connotato da un forte elemento di qualità. Sia nei modi di essere delle persone che negli oggetti. Ad appena 4 anni sono emigrata in Venezuela in un momento nel quale il paese viveva una realtà dinamica di crescita e di benessere e lo spirito era quello di costruire un mondo nuovo. In questo fermento nascevano idee realizzate da architetti, artisti e letterati pazzeschi.... tra cui l'italiano Gio Ponti.
Le culture di tutto il mondo si intrecciavano generosamente creando una dinamica ineguagliabile. Questa vitalità mi e' rimasta dentro.
Come e' nata l'idea rivoluzionaria del manico?
Il Venezuela ha forgiato in me una ricerca incessante del bello nella naturalezza e veridicità delle cose e delle persone. Varcando il limite del possibile e non accettando compromessi di alcun genere. Ho cercato e cerco la bellezza infinita sia nelle persone, nell'arte, nella moda che nella poesia e nella musica. Il "mondo
nuovo" ti insegna che puoi creare ex-novo. Il bello quindi nel mio immaginario non ha una linea già tracciata e non e' limitato dal retaggio di un passato- presente e opprimente. Il "nuovo mondo" mi ha educato a credere e volere delle piccole e genuine rivoluzioni. Tutto sembra ed e' possibile. E' così che e' germogliato il seme di questi manici. Lentamente e nel tempo
Come giustifichi la tua creatività?
La mia creatività nasce dall'osservazione e dalla critica delle regole. Dagli stimoli che inconsciamente nel mio io provengono dal contatto con l'arte, la musica, le persone e la natura. Per esempio perché parlo di "critica delle regole" perché normalmente nel disegnare un prodotto di moda si devono rispettare dei canoni.
Difficilmente si violano perché vi sono esigenze di mercato e di produzione che lo impediscono. Io mi sono chiesta se per qualificare un progetto occorra riprodurre un marchio mille volte soffocando e imbruttendo una borsa. Inoltre l'uso spasmodico degli accessori ha ormai involgarito la borsa ostentando quel che non
e'. Rendendo una cosa fazziosamente bella e passeggera. Portabile ed interessante solo per una stagione. Io ho voluto invece ed all'opposto dare rilievo estetico e caratterizzante con linee pure ed essenziali astratte dal concetto del tempo. Il mio proposito e' ricreare degli oggetti immediatamente riconoscibili e
riconducibili al marchio a prima vista. A primo colpo d'occhio. Come effettivamente sta accadendo. Molte ragazze passando accanto a signore con le mie borse dicono "ahhh quella e' della Correale". Questo ideale e' il pilastro portante del marchio RC.
Perché così legata al territorio? Perché così fortemente appassionata nella lotta per una produzione nazionale con costi così alti e tempi più lunghi?
Il marchio e' fortemente legato al territorio. L'umanità del marchio ha radici intrinsiche nel territorio senese, nella cultura e nel paesaggio senese. Oserei dire persino nel cibo senese. Non ha caso la scelta dello struzzo. Animale che fino a poco tempo fa veniva allevato anche in Toscana. Il senso del bello qui e' terreno. E' doverosamente legato alla manualità e attigua alla qualita' dei prodotti locali.
Questo marchio per definizione e' un marchio fortemente territoriale.
Ma il Marchio e' anche indubbiamente molto molto personale?
Si effettivamente RC e' caratterizato dalla mia personalità ma e' anche un ideologia. Ed essa sta nella perdurabilita dei suoi prodotti che sia per qualità che per design vogliono viaggiare nel tempo ed essere di qualunque stagione e generazione. RC e' per definizione l'antitesi della moda.
Perché la scelta del social media?
Anche questa e' molto personale. Io ho un bisogno quasi frenetico di comunicare e possono attestarlo i miei amici più cari e lontani. Il marchio si pone verso il mondo e comunica con esso come io stessa comunico con i miei più cari. In modo aperto, onesto e costante. L'unico momento nel quale io "non comunico o rifiuto la comunicazione" e' in momenti di forte disagio o tristezza. Raramente voglio o
cercare un apertura verso l'esterno in questi casi.
Qual'e secondo te un oggetto perfetto?
L'oggetto perfetto per me non ha tempo e non ha sessoma ha un'anima!
Come gli angeli. Credo di aver raggiunto questa perfezione solo nella Skull bag computer in struzzo. E' comprata e desiderata da uomini e donne. Inoltre e' eterna per qualità e praticità. Chi ne ha una la difende con la vita!
perché una donna dovrebbe indossare una RC?
Una donna dovrebbe indossare RC solo se prova il desiderio di uscire dai luoghi comuni e vuole essere all'avanguardia con stile e qualità sapendo che la sua personalità viene definita da se stessa e dal suo comportamento e soltanto corredata ed accompagnata dal mio marchio in trionfo. Mai in sostituzione ne di un carattere ne tanto meno del suo potenziale. Con quelli si nasce e si e' non si diventa. E' una donna dinamica in eterno movimento. capace di vivere famiglia e lavoro senza tralasciare la sua femminilità.
Translation - English Who is Francesca Romana Correale?
I was born into a very traditional, down-to-earth family from which I learned to appreciate beauty when defined by quality. Such beauty could be found in both a person’s personality and in objects. When I was just four, I emigrated to Venezuela, at a moment in which the country was going through a dynamic reality of growth and wellbeing, and the spirit of the whole entity was building a new world. This ambience was the breeding ground for the ideas carried out by great architects, artists and writers... among which was the Italian Gio Ponti.
Cultural traits from the entire world were generously interwoven creating an unique dynamic. This vitality has lived on inside me.
How was this revolutionary “handle concept” born?
Venezuela has taught me to search relentlessly for beauty in the true nature of things and people. To go beyond the limits of what is possible and to refuse any sort of compromise. I have always sought , I still seek, infinite beauty, be it in people, art, fashion or in poetry and music. What the “new world” teaches you is that you can create from scratch. Therefore, beauty, in my imagery, is not a fixed line and is not limited to the legacy of an oppressive, ever present, past. The “new world” has taught me to believe in and to look for small, true revolutions. Everything seems, and is, possible. And this is how the seed for these handles has grown: slowly, over a long time.
How do you explain your creativity?
My creativity is born from observation and from questioning the rules. It is born from the stimuli that subconsciously I have received from my contact with art, music, people and nature. For instance, I speak of “questioning the rules” because normally, when designing a fashion product, you must follow certain rules.
These rules are rarely broken because there are marketing and production requirements that prevent it. I have asked myself whether it was really necessary, in order to define a product, to repeat a brand a thousand times over, thus suffocating it and making it ugly. Besides, bags have become vulgar due to the indiscriminate use of accessories, which just underlines what those bags are not. The result is an object that can be beautiful but is intentionally short-lived. Its interest and wearability will last only for one season. Instead, I have intended to do the opposite: to give aesthetical prominence to pure lines and basic elements, devoid of the concept of time. My purpose is to create objects that are immediately recognisable and referable to the brand at first sight. Instantly. As it is actually happening. Girls walk past a lady with one of my bags and they go “ahhh, that's a Correale bag”. This is the ideal and the backbone of the RC brand.
Why are you so bound to territory? Why are you so strongly passionate about this fight for local production, with such high costs and long production times?
My brand is strongly bound to territory. The human side of this brand has deep roots in the Siena region, in its culture and landscape. I’d even dare say, in the food of the Siena region. Choosing ostrich leather was no accident. These animals were, until not so long ago, even bred in the Tuscany region. This is a wordly sense of beauty. It is fully linked to handcrafts and attached to the quality of local products.
This is, by definition, a territorial brand .
However this Brand is also, undoutedly, very, very personal, isn't it?
Yes, indeed. RC is infused with my peronality, and yet it is also an ideology. This ideology is shown in the durability of its products which, due both to their quality and their design, would like to travel through time and belong to any season or generation. RC is, by definition, the antithesis of fashion.
Why have you chosen to be in the social media?
This is another very personal choice. I have a frantic need to communicate, for which my dearest and most distant friends can testify. The brand faces the world and communicates with it in the same way I communicate with my loved ones: in an open, honest, constant manner. The only situation in which I “do not communicate or refuse communication” is when I am in deep distress or sorrow. I rarely want or seek to open up to the others at these times.
According to you, what is the perfect object?
The perfect object, for me, has no time or sex, but it does have a soul!
Just like angels. I think I have achieved such perfection only in the Skull computer bag in ostrich leather. It is bought and desired by men and women alike. Besides, it is eternal in its quality and practicality. Whoever has one, defends it with their very life!
Why should a woman use an RC?
A woman should use RC only if she feels the need to escape clichés and wants to be at the avant garde with style and quality, knowing that her personality has been defined by herself and by her behaviour; a woman who is only equiped with and accompanied by my brand as a sign of success. But never as a substitute for her personality nor for her potential. These are something you are born with, not something you become. This woman is a dynamic woman, in perpetual movement, able to manage work and family without losing her femininity.
English to Spanish: North American event breaks record / En Norteamérica, un evento que rompió récords General field: Marketing Detailed field: Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Source text - English Also in June, nearly 430 roadsters and 660 people travelled from across North America to Maggie Valley, North Carolina, for the fourth annual North American XYZ Owners Event, making it the largest roadster gathering to date.
Owners came from as far away as Europe. The event began with a rousing Friday night welcome at the Maggie Valley Festival Grounds. Saturday featured all-day rides through the scenic Smoky Mountains. An intense afternoon thunderstorm was no deterrent, serving instead to prove the safety and stability of the XYZ roadster in quickly changing weather conditions.
Rhonda Marsh of Sevierville, Tennessee, won $1,500 in XYZ parts and accessories for her best-in-show modified SRS roadster, while Lowell Kursinsky of Warren, Michigan, won the grand prize draw for an all-expenses-paid trip for two to the 2012 Pan-European XYZ Roadster Owners Event next summer.
The weekend closed with an optional Sunday ride on the famous “Tail of the Dragon” section of US-129, an 18-km (11 miles) stretch of road known for its more than 300 curves.

Source text - English Top 10 free things to do in Copenhagen
Ignore Scandinavia’s expensive reputation – Copenhagen has plenty of things to do that don’t cost a thing. State art museums, bike hire, parks and all-night dance parties break the Scandinavian stereotype. Here are 10 of the best of free Copenhagen.
Free cycle hire in Copenhagen
Copenhagen is kind to cyclists and locals take advantage of the wide bike lanes lining most roads. Renting a two-wheeler is the best way to get around town quickly and is a healthier alternative to buses. The city’s free bikes can be hired at 110 bike racks around the city centre between April and November for a DKK20 deposit.
Preserved bog girl at the National Museum
The free National Museum's permanent prized exhibit is the embalmed body of the Bronze Age Egtved girl. Her 3,500-year-old preserved oak coffin has maintained her body, clothes, comb, bracelets and blonde hair eerily intact.
Pristine parklands in Copenhagen
Wake up early and experience the summer sun on your face with a walk around Orsteds park, Frederiksberg Garden or Vondelpark. Fountains, sculptures and street performers keep the interest high.
Free Sundays at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek
After a bite in the glass-domed Winter Garden, explore the post-Impressionists’ gallery upstairs. As well as pieces by Toulouse-Lautrec and Van Gogh, the museum has one of the world’s richest collections of Gaugins. Gaugin was married to a Dane, and the light captured in many of his paintings reflects the work of other Danish painters and of Denmark’s landscape itself.
Swimming at Islands Brygge
Swimming right in the centre of downtown Copenhagen is the perfect way to cool off from the swelter of a Scandinavian summer. The waterfront Havneparken of this quiet residential neighbourhood, stretching from Langebro in the north to Bryggebroen in the south, is among Copenhagen’s most popular spots for taking a midday or evening dip.
Walk in Christiania
The hippie ‘free town’ of Christiania is free in every way. Spend a few hours in the area, filled with inventive murals and sculptures and abuzz with quirky characters.
Entrancing art at Denmark's National Gallery
The only museum in Denmark with 700 years of Western art and cultural history under one roof holds old masters such as Matisse. Lesser-known Danish works are equally astounding. Be transfixed by Danish painter J.F Willumsen's 1912 A Mountain Climber.
Dance till dawn at Ideal Bar's Club Night
Copenhagen's trendy set comes out in droves to party at VEGA bar's street-level lounge. From Wednesdays to Saturdays the club hosts themed evenings, with free entry for all.
Changing of the guard at Amalienborg
Poker-faced guards change position every day of the year at noon outside the royal Amalienborg Palace. During the ‘Vagtparade’, the guards are relieved by colleagues arriving on foot from Rosenborg Castle. It’s a tradition accompanied by music if the queen or other royal family members are present at the palace.
Art Previews at Larm Gallery
Get your fill of modern art at this recent addition to Copenhagen’s galleries. Most galleries hold free previews on Fridays from 5pm. Larm in Valby comprises five separate galleries and hosts free previews on Thursdays.
Translation - Spanish 10 cosas gratis que se pueden hacer en Copenhague
Olvídese de la fama de cara que tiene Escandinavia: en Copenhague hay cantidad de cosas gratis para hacer. Los museos de arte estatales, el alquiler de bicicletas, los parques y las fiestas que duran toda la noche rompen el estereotipo escandinavo. Aquí están las 10 mejores cosas del Copenhague gratuito
Alquile bicicletas gratis en Copenhague
Copenhague es amable con los ciclistas y los lugareños aprovechan los amplios carriles para bicicletas que hay en casi todas las calles. Alquilar una bici es la mejor manera de recorrer la ciudad rápidamente y es una alternativa sana a los autobuses. Las bicicletas gratuitas de la ciudad se pueden alquilar en cualquiera de los 110 puestos que hay en el centro, entre abril y noviembre, por un depósito de DKK20.
La chica del pantano en el Museo Nacional
La pieza más importante del Museo Nacional (con entrada libre) es el cuerpo embalsamado de Egtved, una chica de la Edad de Bronce. Su ataúd, hecho en un tronco de roble, ha mantenido sus ropas, peine, pulseras y cabello rubio misteriosamente intactos.
Los prístinos parques de Copenhague
Levántese pronto y sienta el sol de verano en la cara dando una vuelta al parque Orsteds, el Jardín de Frederiksberg o el Vondelpark. Fuentes, esculturas y artistas callejeros competirán por su interés.
Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, gratis los domingos
Tras comer algo en el Jardín de Invierno con su bóveda de cristal, explore la galería post-impresionista en el primer piso. Además de las obras de Toulouse Lautrec y Van Gogh, el museo tiene una de las mayores colecciones de Gauguin del mundo. Gauguin estaba casado con una danesa, y la luz capturada en muchas de sus pinturas refleja el trabajo de otros pintores daneses y del paisaje danés.
Nadar en las Islas Brygge
Nada mejor que nadar en pleno centro de Copenhague para refrescarse del sofocante verano escandinavo. El Havneparken, el paseo marítimo de este tranquilo barrio residencial, que va desde Langebro al norte hasta Bryggebroen al sur, está entre los sitios más populares de Copenhague para un chapuzón al mediodía o a la tarde.
Caminata por Christiania
La muy hippie “ciudad libre” de Christiania lo es en todo sentido. Pase algunas horas en la zona, que está llena de imaginativos murales y esculturas, y poblada por extravagantes personajes.
Fascinantes obras de arte en la Galería Nacional de Dinamarca
El único museo en Dinamarca con 700 años de arte y cultura occidentales bajo un único techo cuenta con obras de maestros como Matisse. Los trabajos de artistas daneses, menos conocidos, resultan igualmente sorprendentes. Déjese conmover por “La Montañista” del pintor danés J.F.Willumsen (1912).
Baile hasta el amanecer en la Club Night del Ideal bar.
Los más marchosos de Copenhague acuden en tropel a bailar al lounge del bar VEGA, que se encuentra a nivel de la calle. De miércoles a sábados, la disco organiza noches temáticas, con entrada libre para todos.
El cambio de guardia en Amalienborg
Los guardas con sus inexpresivos rostros cambian posiciones todos los días del año en la puerta del Palacio de Amalienborg. Durante el ‘Vagtparade’, los guardas son reemplazados por sus compañeros, que llegan a pie desde el Castillo de Rosenborg. Es una tradición que se acompaña con música si la reina u otros miembros de la familia real se encuentran en el palacio.
Avances de exposiciones en la Galería Larm
Llénese de arte moderno en esta nueva adición a las galerías de Copenhague. La mayoría de las galerías ofrece avances de sus exposiciones los viernes a partir de las 17hs. Larm en Valby comprende cinco galerías separadas y ofrece avances gratuitos los días jueves.

The main points of the test that have to be carried:
• Cleaning / degreasing surface;
• Application of penetrant;
• Penetration time;
• Excess penetrant removal;
• Drying;
• Application of developer;
• Developing time;
• Inspection.
7.1 CLEANING
The purpose of cleaning is to eliminate any traces of dirt or grease from the surface to be inspected and from the possible breaking defects, so that it does not interfere with the penetrant's action.
7.2 APPLICATION OF PENETRANT
• Spray the penetrant on the part to be inspected so that the surface is completely covered.
o In high temperatures, reapply the penetrant.
• Penetration time: 15 minutes
7.3 EXCESS PENETRANT REMOVAL
• Remove any excess penetrant using a water jet with a pressure below 2.5 bar.
- Be careful to remove all traces of penetrant without overusing the water jet.
• Dry the surface to be inspected carefully with a clean cloth or paper.
• Avoid fluff or loose threads
• Apply the developer within 3-5 minutes.
7.4 APPLICATION OF DEVELOPER
• Spray a thin, uniform layer of developer onto the surface to be inspected, so that it completely covers the area that needs inspection.
7.5 INSPECTION
• Developing time: 7 to 30 minutes.
• Follow any instructions on the developer;
• Carry out the inspection ( at >1000 LUX).
8. ACCEPTABILITY CRITERIA
The purpose of this phase is to define the criteria for the acceptability of the breaking defects revealed. The following marks mean unacceptable defects:
• Circular red marks with a diameter over 1.5mm.
• Linear red marks over 1.5mm long and 1mm wide.
Those pieces considered defective must be submitted to the repair procedure, after which they should undergo another liquid penetrant test.
