Weerstand ontstaat allereerst uit goede voer en wateropname. Voeding gaat allereerst over energie, eiwit en het risico van pensverzuring. Vervolgens zijn mineralen, vitaminen en sporenelementen van belang. Weerstand ontstaat ook uit voldoende rust en beweging. Een gezonde koe in een goede stal, ligt gemiddeld 14 uur per dag op een droge ligplek. Beweging stimuleert de stofwisseling en klauwgezondheid. Ten slotte geldt: hoe gezonder de koe, des te meer weerstand. Klauwaandoeningen en infectieziekten als BVD en para-tbc verlammen de afweer van de koe. Hetzelfde geldt voor alle soorten ontstekingen. | Translation - English
The main cornerstone of disease resistance is good feed and water intake. Cow nutrition is mainly about energy, protein and the risk of rumen acidification. After that, minerals, vitamins and trace elements are important. Resistance also depends on sufficient rest and movement. A healthy cow in a comfortable shed lies down for an average of 14 hours a day in a dry bedded area. Movement stimulates metabolism and hoof health. In the end, the healthier the cow, the greater its resistance. Hoof problems and infectious diseases such as BVD and paratuberculosis (Johne’s disease) paralyse the cow’s immune system. The same is true for all types of inflammation. | | French to English: EU law | Source text - French
Dans une situation dans laquelle un enfant a sa residence permanente dans un Etat membre, mais sejourne dans un autre Etat membre sur le territoire duquel il mene une vie itinerante, il incombe a la juridiction nationale de tenir compte de toutes les circonstances pertinentes afin de determiner si l'Etat de sejour est devenu le centre habituel de ses interets de maniere suffisamment permanente. Ces circonstances pertinentes peuvent notamment etre le lieu de residence des parents et/ou du tuteur de l'enfant, la duree du sejour de l'enfant dans l'autre Etat membre (...) ainsi que l'integration sociale de l'enfant, qui peut se manifester par le fait que l'enfant sejourne chez des proches, est scolarise, suit une formation, etc. | Translation - English
In a situation in which a child has its permanent residence in one Member State but is staying in another Member State where it carries on a peripatetic life, it is for the national court to take account of all the pertinent circumstances in order to determine whether the latter State has become the habitual centre of its interests in a sufficiently permanent manner. These pertinent circumstances may include the place of residence of the child’s parents and/or guardian, the time the child has spent in the other Member State (...) and the social integration of the child, which may be demonstrated by the fact that the child is staying with relatives, attending school, following a training course, etc. | | German to English: Medical | Source text - German

As a high school pupil visiting the careers advisor, I was interested in modern languages but didn’t see myself as a teacher. What other jobs were there? “Well,” he said, “there’s translating and interpreting, but it’s a tough field to get into. Have you thought about town planning?”
Thirty years later, some of my best friends are planners, but here I am.
Experience
I have lived and worked in both France and the Netherlands where I passed the Certificaat Nederlands als Vreemde Taal [Certificate in Dutch for non-native speakers].
After starting out as an in-house translator I turned freelance in 1992.
Veterinary science is a special field: my husband is a partner in mixed practice in NE Scotland. Our official collaborations include acting as consultants on Roodbont Publishers’ “Signals” series of agricultural publications, including Cow Signals and Pig Signals.
Clients
Clients include the agriculture ministries in both the UK and the Netherlands (DEFRA and LNV), the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Shell International, the International Criminal Court in The Hague, several UK universities and a small number of translation agencies and private individuals.
