Caixa de ferramentas para tradutores A lista de recursos on-line apresentada a seguir foi compilada por Fabiano Medeiros, do editorial da Ed. Mundo Cristão, com base em sugestões de vários tradutores. Many thanks ao Fabiano por autorizar a publicação dessas dicas tão úteis. Você tem sugestões para acrescentar à lista? Deixe um comentário. DICAS DE DICIONÁRIOS E FONTES DE CONSULTA 1. A primeira dica é a seguinte. Descobri por acaso... No Google, você digita a palavra ou expressão seguida de DIC. Ex: overwhelming DIC. O resultado são as definições fornecidas pelos dicionários mais importantes... 2. Para quem prefere algo mais profissional, basta acessar o www.onelook.com e digitar ali a palavra ou expressão. O Onelook é uma espécie de portal dos melhores dicionários online, técnicos ou não. 3. Alguns endereços específicos (eu mantenho o ícone dos melhores na minha barra do IE, para fácil acesso): Monolíngues inglês Cambridge http://dictionary.cambridge.org/ (há uma versão americana também) Chamo a atenção de vocês para este dicionário por ser altamente prático. Como veem no exemplo abaixo, a Cambrige criou esse negócio de "apor" uma ETIQUETA em versal logo no início do verbete, já indicando o(s vários) campo(s) semântico(s). Isso facilita muito a consulta, porque remete você para o contexto imediato em que está trabalhando e reduz a perda de tempo na consulta por significados. Claro que isso não é possível em todos os verbetes... E não é algo que resolve todos os problemas. Mas ajuda muito em muitos casos! Ex: get was found in the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary at the entries listed below. · get verb OBTAIN · get verb REACH · get verb BECOME ILL WITH · get verb START TO BE · get verb CAUSE · get verb BE · get verb MOVE · get verb TRAVEL · get verb DEAL WITH · get verb HAVE CHANCE · get verb UNDERSTAND/HEAR · get verb PREPARE · get verb PAY · get verb CONFUSE · get verb ANNOY · get ver

Eis o texto central de Harvey na nossa discussão sobre a relação entre a crise financeira e a crise urbana. 

Subprime Cities: The Political Economy of Mortgage Markets Entrada x  Manuel Aalbers m.b.aalbers@gmail.com 06:52 (13 horas atrás) para URBGEOG  Dear colleagues,   Last month the book "Subprime Cities: The Political Economy of Mortgage Markets" was published: http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1444337777.html   It's an edited volume with contributions from human geographers, urban sociologists and political economists. It features a foreword by David Harvey and contributions by Saskia Sassen, Elvin Wyly, Kathe Newman and many others. Besides an introduction and conclusion, the book consists of two major parts, the first dealing with "The Political Economy of the Mortgage Market" and the second with "Cities, Race, and the Subprime Crisis". Several chapters focus on the U.S., while others focus on the U.K., the E.U. and global perspectives. Please find the table of contents and the two back cover reviews below. You can find a sample chapter (pdf) online.   There are paperback, hardcover and e-book editions available. The paperback edition is reasonably prices. I hope you will also consider this book for teaching purposes.   Best wishes, Manuel -- Manuel B. Aalbers, Ph.D. University of Amsterdam  Department of Geography, Planning and International Development Studies Nieuwe Prinsengracht 130  1018 VZ  Amsterdam The Netherlands http://home.medewerker.uva.nl/m.b.aalbers/       "There has, prior to the publication of this book on Subprime Cities, been very little concern for examining and interpreting this sequence of events and explaining the role of urbanization and financialization (along with rent-seeking) in this whole dynamic. What this book does is to begin upon the complex task of exploring and explaining the urban roots of crisis formation in general and of the dynamics of the most recent crisis in particular. We have here an astonishing and revelatory understanding of the urban roots of the fiscal crisis." -

Why Mix Urban Planning and Social Media? Contemporary urban planning uses many techniques to get people involved in a particular planning process. These techniques range from mail-in or telephone surveys to multiple-day design charrettes or open houses. The advent of social media, which is a set of tools found on the internet like blogs, forums, wikis, social networking sites, and collaborative software, is really exciting for the planning field. All of these tools can help communities think about, design, and build the kind of communities they want. Social media tools can also help planners and local governments stay in touch with people to make planning more effective and representative. This essay describes social media in more detail and tries to explain why people like to participate in social media. It also describes ways in which social media can help planning be more participatory. Nevertheless, there are some limits to social media. Hopefully you will find this article interesting! There are plenty of links and references to follow where you can learn more. - Daniella Fergusson

CityCar The CityCar electric automobile, developed and prototyped by Smart Cities, is designed to meet the demand for enclosed personal mobility - with weather protection, climate control and comfort, secure storage, and crash protection - in the cleanest and most economical way possible. It weighs less than a thousand pounds, parks in much less space than a Smart Car, and is expected to get the equivalent of 150 to 200 miles per gallon of gasoline. Since it is battery-electric, it produces no tailpipe emissions. The architecture of the CityCar is radical. It does not have a central engine and traditional power train, but is powered by four in-wheel electric motors. Each wheel unit contains drive motor (which also enables regenerative braking), steering, and suspension, and is independently digitally controlled. This enables maneuvers like spinning on its own axis (an O-turn instead of a U-turn), moving sideways into parallel parking spaces, and lane changes while facing straight ahead. Shifting drive to the corners in this way enables the CityCar to fold to minimize parking footprint, and to provide front ingress and egress (since there is no engine in the way). This dramatically changes its relationship to streets and cities. It can park nose-in to the curb in far less than the width of a traditional parking bay, and it can park at very high densities. It is possible to park three or four CityCars in the length of a traditional parking bay. The front compartment of a CityCar accommodates passengers and the rear compartment provides generous storage for baggage, groceries, and so on. When a CityCar folds, the baggage compartment remains level and low for easy access. CityCars accommodate two passengers, which suits them to meeting the requirements of the vast majority of urban trips without excess capacity. They are designed for intra-urban trips, which are fairly short between recharge opportunities. This fits them gracefully to the capabilitie

Why the U.S. Government Should Embrace Smart Cities Growth through Innovation, Cities, Competitiveness, Infrastructure, Governance Bruce Katz, Vice President and Director, Metropolitan Policy Program Fast Company Save Facebook Share inShare 10 StumbleUpon E-mail Print JULY 26, 2011 - The hottest wave in technology today is not about the individual consumer, but the "smart city."   Global companies, having wired people throughout the world, are now on a mission to connect cities, within and without, through the integrated application of advanced technologies like wireless sensors and processors, mobile and video telecommunications, and geographic information systems. The tantalizing prospect: cities and metropolitan areas that use technology to manage urban congestion, maximize energy efficiency, enhance public security, allocate scarce resources based on real time evidence, even educate their citizenry through remote learning.

The United States would seem tailor made for this market transformation. One of the most urbanized countries in the world, cities and metropolitan areas house over 83% of the population and generate 90 percent of national GDP. American companies (and the U.S. military) have been innovative leaders in the invention of technologies critical to making cities smart. Despite these natur

As discretionary expenditures, transportation programs likely face significant changes if they are to cope with spending cuts across all levels of government. These changes would require not only reprioritizing the use of scarce funds, cutting ineffective programs, and improving the performance of remaining programs, but also encour­aging states and local partners to find other sources of funding for transportation.

Accessibility is the ease of reaching valued destinations, such as jobs, shops, schools, entertainment, and recreation. As such, accessibility creates value. Capturing some of this value would allow state and local governments to invest in the operations, maintenance, and in some cases expansion of their transportation networks. Accessibility, as an outcome-oriented metric,
