“In 2007, the 57th FIFA congress voted to create an online system for male 11 a-side international football transfers as one of the recommendations of the FIFA task force “for the good of the game”. The objectives were to increase integrity and transparency in the market by increasing data available to football authorities on every transaction and to enforce rules on the protection of minors. “

(EN) – The Landreader Glossary of the British landscape | Dominick Tyler
“I am a photographer and writer with 16 years experience of documentary and long-term reportage projects. In 2008, whilst working on a book called Wild Swim with writer Kate Rew, I photographed countryside from the Outer Hebrides to the Isles of Scilly and found that my own vocabulary for landscape was woefully inadequate. This realization led me to start collecting words for landscape features, words like jackstraw, zawn, clitter and logan, swash, cowbelly, hum and corrie, spinney, karst and tor.
I’m going to spend a year photographing examples of British landscape features described by these and around a hundred other words. This project will combine photography, text and crowd-sourced information to generate the first ever glossary of the British landscape.
The Landreader Project encompasses geology, ecology, geography and topography but treats these distinctions lightly, drawing equally from science, vernacular and lore to present an exploration of landscape as it is experienced. The richness and depth of the English language
is apparent in the lexicon of the British landscape and so this work is also a study of words – colloquial, scientific, prosaic and poetic.
By investigating the interplay between language and landscape, this work will raise questions about our relationship with the environment and the changes that this relationship has undergone. The naming of landscape features was a driver of language development; ever
since humans have communicated, they have communicated about their surroundings. Our increasingly urbanized lives and the resulting loss of countryside knowledge means that a large part of this communication has become vestigial and many of the words I’ve collected have fallen into obscurity. In general we no longer need to be able to describe the landscape with …”

(MULTI) – IATE Term of the Week: Bookie | TermCoord
“The Oxford Dictionary defines a bookie as the informal version for a bookmaker, or the “person whose job is to take bets, calculate odds, and pay out winnings”. Team-sports frequently bring along competitiveness among the supporters of clubs and these sometimes try their luck betting some money for or against different teams. The characters of bettors often appear in films, where money was at stake for the fastest racehorses.
In this sense, bookies have always been a necessary figure in sports, because they organise and control the bets, which, depending on the sport, can involve high amounts of money. Even though sometimes they are related to illegal gambling, nowadays official organisations keep track of such business transactions.
Bookies must be quite busy at the moment, now that the World Cup 2014 just began in Brazil. People bet for their favourite football teams to …”

(EN) – Selective Attention | Simply Psychology
“A bottleneck restricts the rate of flow, as, say, in the narrow neck of a milk bottle. The narrower the bottleneck, the lower the rate of flow.
Broadbent’s, Treisman’s, and Deutsch and Deutsch Models of Attention are all bottleneck models because they predict we cannot consciously attend to all of our sensory input at the same time.
This limited capacity for paying attention is therefore a bottleneck and the models each try to explain how the material that passes through the bottleneck is selected.”

(EN) – Soccer World Cup Glossary | The SB Nation
“Confused about what’s going on at the 2014 World Cup? We can help.
Soccer — more commonly known as football (but we’ll stick with ‘soccer’ here to avoid confusion) — is the most popular team sport on the planet. Originating in England in the 1800s before spreading rapidly around the globe, soccer is played with two teams of eleven players each, the objective generally being to score more goals than the other team in 90 minutes, split into two 45-minute ‘halves’.
There is one ball, and goals are scored by getting into the … goal. Regulation-sized goals are 24 feet (7.32 m) wide by 8 feet (2.44 m) high, and in order for a goal to register the ball must completely cross the line of the goal without any rules being broken by the scoring team.
The most notable aspect of the sport, of course, is that all but one player on each team, the goalkeeper, is barred from using their hands to touch the ball while the ball is in play. Every portion of the body bar the arms is legal to use.”

(EN) (PDF) – Gut Microbiome Glossary | American College of Gastroenterology
“When most people think of bacteria in the intestines, they think of that bacteria as a bad, dirty thing. GI professionals, however, know that bacteria (certain bacteria, and in the right combination) is a very important part of a healthy digestive system. Medical experts have long known about the importance of bacteria in the gut, but in the last few years their understanding has grown by leaps and bounds.
The human gut microbiome is a diverse, complicated community of microbes that live in the intestines. This bacterial community has a profound impact on how the body functions. The microbiome is so vital to human health that some researchers look at it as an organ, influencing nutrition, immunity, metabolism and physiology.
As researchers gain a greater understanding of the microbiome, they’ll likely have better knowledge about probiotics, and how to prevent and cure illnesses. The American College of Gastroenterology, along with the World Gastroenterology Organisation recently observed the … (click here to read more)”

“Like any other technology, art form or field, digital cameras have their own nomenclature. The alphabet soup of jargon can be as confusing and intimidating as trying to understand how all those dials, buttons, levers and menu options affect the pictures and videos that you capture. Fear not, because we’ve defined the most important words, phrases, commands and options you’ll need to know when shopping for and learning to operate your new DSLR, mirrorless, smartphone or other camera.”

“Compliance with laws, rules and regulations is one of the most important factors for the success of financial institutions. Compliance protects the reputation and credibility of financial institutions; protects shareholders and depositors, and provides safeguards to institutions against legal sanctions. Compliance is a comprehensive and multi-aspect responsibility involving all parties in the financial institution. It starts with the board of directors and senior management and ends with all employees, each according to the powers and tasks entrusted to him.

“Common medical abbreviations for medical transcription.
Author: R. Strucel. This reference was created for Globalrph to help translate occasional texting codes that appear sporadically in correspondence from friends, colleagues, and other professionals. At least once a month I receive messages from younger professionals that are difficult to decipher based on the presence of several texting shorthand abbreviations. I had the author create two separate versions. The primary version simply lists the acronym followed by the definition. The alternative version lists the phrase / translation first and the texting code that represents the phrase.

“Zapraszamy do korzystania z internetowego serwisu encyklopedycznego dla profesjonalistów z dziedziny motoryzacji.
Motoryzacja to całokształt spraw związanych z zastosowaniem pojazdów drogowych lub szynowych napędzanych silnikami spalinowymi (a także w ostatnich latach pojazdów napędzanych silnikami elektrycznymi i hybrydowymi). Potocznie przez motoryzację rozumie się jednak motoryzację samochodową, związaną z zastosowaniem samochodów osobowych i ciężarowych, autobusów i pojazdów jednośladowych. Ich eksploatacja wymaga infrastruktury drogowej oraz odpowiedniego rozmieszczenia stacji paliw i warsztatów. Oddzielnym problemem jest zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa ruchu na drogach przez stosowanie prawa drogowego, dbanie o sprawność techniczną pojazdów, odpowiednie oznakowanie dróg itp. Motoryzacja ma także duże znaczenie gospodarcze, bowiem oddziaływuje na rozwój przemysłu, transportu, turystyki itd.”
