Finnish to English: Geology General field: Science Detailed field: Geology
Source text - Finnish Mustaliuske- ja metakarbonaattisivukivien sinkin, kuparin ja nikkelin pitoisuudet ylittävät saastuneen maan arviointiin suositetut SAMASE toimenpideraja-arvot (taulukko 1). Arseenin ja vanadiinin keskiarvopitoisuus ylittää SAMASE toimenpideraja-arvon vain mustaliuskesivukiven osalta.	Translation - English The contents of zinc, copper and nickel in the black shale and metacarbonate country rock exceed the SAMASE limit values recommended for the evaluation of contaminated soil (Table 1). The average content of arsenic and vanadium exceeds the SAMASE limit value for the black shale country rock only.

Estonian to English: Viniculture/marketing General field: Marketing Detailed field: Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
Source text - Estonian Tegelikult Quinta dos Cozinheiros’es me usume, et masin, kuigi see võib olla vajalik mõningate tööde jaoks, ei ole veel võimeline valima parimaid oksi, kõrvaldama kasutuid võrseid, eraldama tooreid viinamarju küpsetest, põhimõtteliselt ei ole valmis optimeerima lõikuse kvaliteeti ja tervust. Seepärast me näeme vaeva hoidmaks inimese ratsionaalsust juhtivates töödes, meeste teadmisi ja jõudu kasvatamaks ja paremaks tegemaks veini, naiste hoolivust ja pehmust valimaks parimaid vilju, sest me usume, et just selles viinamarjaistanduses hakkame me tegema parimat veini.	Translation - English Indeed, in Quinta dos Cozinheiros we believe, that a machine, although useful for certain tasks, is not yet capable of selecting the best boughs, removing the useless shoots, or separating the unripe grapes from the ripe; in principle is not capable of optimising the harvesting quality and the cutting. Therefore, we take pain to preserve the human rationality in the leading tasks, the knowledge and strength of men for growing and improving the wine, the care and gentleness of women for selecting the best grapes, because we believe that in this vineyard, of all others, we will be making the best wine.

	X Why did the menu change? The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to. The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability. More information on the changes... Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu? Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
