Translation - English Forests and Climate Change
A climate crisis is a problem across the entire globe. Human activity releases green house gasses, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) that trap the heat from the sun and increase temperatures. The rate of the temperatures at which happens even more than pessimistic predictions.
Forest loss and forest degradation contribute around 20% of all the CO2 released, as the carbon stored in the wood and the forest soil is released by burning or by biological decomposition. At the site of drying and conversions of forest swamps contribute even more per unit area as this process releases large amounts of methane, a much more potent green house gas than carbon dioxide.

Title: A Case Study of the Influence of Natural Resource Management on Rural Livelihoods at the Forestry Administration Division of Kampong Tralach, Kampong Chhnang Province, Cambodia
By
TOP Meng Nguon
I. Introduction
1.1 Background
Cambodia is a small country in South East Asia, bordering Thailand, Lao PDR and Vietnam. The capital city is Phnom Penh (11°33′N 104°55′E), official language is Khmer, Government is democratic constitutional monarchy, total area is 181,035 km2 , population (1998 census was 11,437,656 and July 2005 was estimated 14,071,000), population density = 78/ km2. Local currency is Riel, although US Dollars are widely used.
More than two decades of internal conflict has left the country with little infrastructures. In the last 10 years, the Cambodian Government has been working to rebuild the country.
1.2 Research Issues
What has been a concern is that there are now small scale of illegal logging, hunting and forest land encroachment by local people near by forests and outsiders; this is a kind of income-generating forest activities. It is, in fact, a real concern that population growing and poor rural people will not be guaranteed that forest resources will support their daily lives without controlling by techniques of forests utilization. Rural people livelihoods need a special attention from the government of Cambodia not only the household level, but also rather people in those areas, in which the forest policy and actual implementation to ensure rural people livelihood is crucial. Therefore, the needs of people livelihoods to place on the development agenda of Cambodia are clearly critical because livelihoods related to various factors, education, social justice, credibility, etc. What is more, actually the Royal Government of Cambodia did show commitment to the issues of rural livelihoods through various actions, including on the September 2003 finalization of the Prakas on the reorganization of the Department of Forestry and Wildlife to a Forestry Administration, a new model for forest management in Cambodia has been emerging.
1.3 Objective of the study
Having recognized of the widespread of poverty and not properly controllable natural resource utilizing by people who their lives depend on forest and non-forest timber products, the Royal Government of Cambodia has embarked on many actions for poverty alleviation program for future sustainable forest resource management, including the signed memorandum of the December-2001 Capacity Building For Forestry Sector (CBFS) Project supported by JICA in order to tackle the forest issues.
Objectives:
o To determine the effects of community involvement in CF management
o To find out the community involvement in the current Forest Management Planning process.
o To explore the underlying root causes of rural poor relying on forest resources.

Source text - English 3.0 WOOD PRESERVATION
3.1 Introduction
Wood, a biological material, will decay over time but may be accelerated when exposed to bio-deteriorating agents (Figure 3.1). The rate bio-deterioration and decay or conversely natural durability may be different for different types/species of timber as there are natural constituents within the timber that deter attack by terrestrial organisms – notably the fungi, wood boring insects and termites. The natural durability of different types of woods are normally compared and rated by subjecting different species of wood to the same elements of natural environment. This resulted in the natural durability rating of timber such as non-durable, moderately durable, durable and very durable. It should be noted that the sapwood of all timbers regardless of their natural durability ratings are non-durable.
If timber are used in an environment that the risk of attack by bio-deteriorating agents is minimal, the service life of the timber may be increased tremendously. However, when use in exposed conditions, the service life of not so durable timber may be enhanced by chemical preservation.
There are various wood preservatives and treatment processes available today and the appropriate selection of these are crucial. This lecture elaborates the current wood treatment activities in Cambodia and followed by the various options, preservatives and treatment processes, available and currently used to treat tropical timber in this region.

Source text - Russian Лиса и тетерев
Сидел одножды на дереве тететрев. Подошла к нему лиса и говорит:
- Здравствуй, тетеревочек, мой дружочек! Как услышала твой голосочек, так и пришла тебя проведать.
- Спасибо на добром слове, - отвертил тетерев.
А лиса притворилась, что не расслышала, и говорит:
- Не слышу я, что ты говоришь. Ты бы, тетеревочек, мой дружочек, сощёл на травушку погулять, по говорить со мной, а то я с дерева не расслышу тебя.
Тетерев сказал:
- Боюсь я сходить на траву. Нам, птицам, опасно ходить по зимле.
- Неужели ты меня боишься? - спрасила лисица.
- Не тебя, а других зверей боюсь, - сказал тетерев.
- Всякие звери бывают.
- Нет, тетеревочек, мой дружочек, нынче указ объявлен, чтобы по всей земле мир был. Нынче уж звери друг друга не трогают.
- Вот это хорошо, - ответил тетерев, - а то вот собаки бегут; кабы по-старому, тебе бы уходить надо, а теперь тебе бояться нечего.
Лисица услыхала про собак, навострила уши и бросилась бежать.
- Куда ж ты? – спросил тетерев. – Ведь нынче указ вышел: собаки лис не трогают.
- А кто их знают? – прокричала в ответ лиса. – Может, они указа не слыхали.
И была такова.

Birth Control Options
Birth control keeps you from getting pregnant during sex. There are many types of birth control. Some of the most common types are described below. New types are being tested all the time. Your healthcare provider can help you decide which type of birth control is best for you. But no matter which type you choose, you and your partner must use it the right way each time.
Condom
A condom is a thin covering that fits over the penis. (The female condom fits inside the vagina.) A condom catches sperm that come out of the penis during sex.
Spermicide
Spermicide is a gel, foam, cream, tablet, or sponge. It is put in the vagina before sex to kill sperm.
Diaphragm and Cervical Cap
Diaphragms and cervical caps are round rubber cups that keep sperm out of the uterus. They also hold spermicide in place.
Intrauterine Device (IUD)
An IUD is a small device that is placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
The Pill
The birth control pill is taken daily. It contains hormones that stop a woman’s body from releasing an egg each month.
Other Hormones
Hormones that stop a woman’s egg from being released each month can be delivered in other ways. These include injection, implant, patch, or vaginal ring.
Emergency Contraception (EC)
Emergency contraception can help prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. Hormone pills (“morning after pill”) are available over the counter to anyone over 18. A copper IUD needs to be inserted by a trained healthcare provider. EC can be used up to 5 days after sex. EC will not work if you’re already pregnant.
Tint box
Remember:
• Choose a type of birth control that is easy for you to use.
• Read the package to learn to use your birth control the right way.
• Most forms of birth control do not protect you from sexually transmitted infections (STIs). To protect against STIs, always use a latex condom.

As a result, all suppliers, their employees, temporary employees, and independent vendors throughout the world, as well as Maidenform employees who work with suppliers are expected to conduct themselves with the highest standards of honesty, fairness, and personal integrity. It is critical to the company stature to maintain high ethical standards by adhering to all applicable laws and avoiding even the perception of impropriety or conflict of interest.
