The logic of a studyblr

Spend your whole afternoon reblogging motivating posts while consistently neglecting your own responsibilities

me rn sorry

Me: *reblogs studyspo, gives advice on studying, posts dank memes about studying and college*

Also me: *hasn't touched a textbook in weeks*

Tips for translators in small languages by Corinne McKay

There are languages like Spanish (tons of work, lots of translators), and languages like French and German (good amount of work, not a surplus of translators), and then there are languages like Tagalog, Nepali, Bulgarian, Amharic, Icelandic, and so on. What are some pathways to a viable freelance business if you do one of those languages of lesser diffusion?

Assess the demand. You only need enough work for one person, but in some languages, that may be a struggle. Consider adding additional services like interpreting, editing, voiceover, etc. You may have to be a little more open to offbeat jobs than someone who translates German or Japanese.

Expect to be asked to translate anything and everything in your language. You don’t have to say yes; never take on anything that’s outside your capabilities. But expect that clients will think of you as “the Haitian Creole translator,” not “the Haitian Creole pharmaceutical translator.”

If you want to work with agencies, blanket the field. Get a membership to Payment Practices (not an affiliate deal) and sort out the highly-rated agencies; for example those rated 4.0 or higher in the two factors that PP rates. Then start cranking out the applications; aim for three to five per day. Every agency that could potentially use you, anywhere in the world, should have your resume on file.

If you want to work with direct clients, look for trade ties between your non-English country and the US, the UK, or other English-speaking countries. Most countries have some sort of economic development authority, foreign direct investment authority, or similar entity. Look there for ideas, then contact companies related to those industries that might need you.

Consider translating into English with a native English-speaking proofreader. Normally I don’t recommend going anywhere near translations into your non-native language. But for small-diffusion languages into English, I think it can work, and sometimes it’s the only option. First, there just aren’t that many native English speakers who translate from Lingala or Khmer. Second, lots of these niche countries are fairly major tourist destinations for English speakers, very few of whom speak a word of the local language. So you might find work translating for, say, resorts in Indonesia or the Philippines or Thailand that want to attract English-speakers.

I was asked how I draw ribbon banners, and since I’m sick and can’t concentrate on my work, I thought I’d make some GIFs. (Sorry about the bad quality, though. Due to Tumblr’s file size limit, I had to reduce the colours and delete some frames, but I’d say you can still see how I draw some of the ribbons that I added to a page in my bullet journal.)

My greatest fear is that I am intelligent enough to know what I want but not intelligent enough to achieve it.

You're a little obsessed with yourself, aren't you?

well no one else is gonna do it

study-well

Hello, do you know any studyblrs from UCL (please reveal yourselves i've been looking everywhere)

Hello! I don’t so can people from UCL can reblog this please?

THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE

First day of lectures, started out with some Quantum Mechanics, the stuff that got me into Physics in the first place! Couldn't have started any better off!

update i have concerns about where katherine is going

ppl: Wow your course of study is so impractical, there are no jobs in that

me: Haha yeah I guess I care more about bettering myself as a person and studying something I actually care about that gives me a reason to get up in the morning than letting the grinding wheels of capitalism crush my soul lol :)

ppl: what

me: what

Euler’s Identity: eiπ + 1 = 0. Euler’s Identity is an Equation about constants π and e. Both are “Transcendental” quantities; in decimal form, their digits unspool into Infinity. And both are ubiquitous in scientific laws. But they seem to come from different realms: π (3.14159 …) governs the perfect Symmetry and closure of the Circle; it’s in Planetary Orbits, the endless up and down of light waves. e (2.71828 …) is the foundation of exponential growth, that accelerating trajectory of escape inherent to compound interest, nuclear fission, Moore’s law. It’s used to model everything that grows. What Euler showed is that π and e are deeply related, connected in a dimension perpendicular to the world of real things - a place measured in units of i, the square root of -1, which of course doesn’t … exist. Mathematicians call it an imaginary number. These diagrams are visual metaphors. Imagine a graph with real numbers on the horizontal axis and imaginary ones on the vertical. Exponential function, f(x) = ex, ordinarily it graphs as an upward swooping curve - the very paradigm of progress. But put i in there, Euler showed, and eix instead traces a circle around the origin - an endless wheel of Samsara intercepting Reality at –1 and +1. Add another axis for Time and it’s a helix winding into the Future; viewed from the side, that helix is an oscillating sine wave.The rest is easy: Take that function f(x) = eix, set x = π, and you get eiπ = -1. Rearrange terms and you have the famous identity: eiπ + 1 = 0. That’s the essence of Euler’s alchemy: By venturing off the real number line into this empyrean dimension, he showed that disruptive, exponential change (the land of e) reduces to infinite repetition (π). These diagrams combine the five most fundamental numbers in math - 0, 1, e, i, and π - in a relation of irreducible simplicity. e and π are infinitely long decimals with seemingly nothing in common, et they fit together perfectly - not to a few places, or a hundred, or a million, but all the way to forever.

You can take this farther, too. If you write that function above in a more general but still simple form as f(x) = e(zx), where z = (a + bi), what you get is no longer a circle but a logarithmic spiral, combining rotation and growth - now both at the same time- These graceful spirals are also found everywhere in Nature, from the whorls in a nautilus shell to the sweeping arms of Galaxies. And they’re related, in turn, to the Golden Ratio (yet another infinite decimal, 1.61803 …) and the Fibonacci Sequence of Numbers (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, …). But the weirdest thing about Euler’s formula - given that it relies on imaginary numbers - is that it’s so immensely useful in the real world. By translating one type of motion into another, it lets engineers convert messy trig problems into more tractable algebra - like a wormhole between separate branches of math. It’s the secret sauce in Fourier transforms used to digitize music, and it tames all manner of wavy things in quantum mechanics, electronics, and signal processing; without it, computers would not exist.
