This is the story of Joseph and his brothers. Joseph can interpret dreams. When he interprets dreams about his family, his brothers hate him. They hate him more because he is their father's favorite. When Joseph comes to bring them food, they plot to kill him but decide to sell him to merchants who are traveling past them. Joseph ends up in Egypt, a servant to Potipher. He gets thrown into jail where he interprets dreams for the other prisoners. His ability is brought to the attention of Pharoah who has him removed from jail to interpret his dreams. He becomes a ruler of Egypt.

This is one of my favorite Bible stories but so much was missing from this version. Though it is for children, they can understand the whole story and too much was missing in this book that it felt like I was walking into the middle of the story. I felt that I was missing the story. It also ended abruptly so I got no closure of when Joseph's brothers come to Egypt to buy food during the famine. Children may need a little explanation, but they know when things are left out. I'd like to see the author rewrite this book and put the whole story of Joseph and his coat and his brothers. The illustrations are beautiful, and they deserve the full story also.

Join Nataša Pantović, Maltese and Serbian researcher of ancient worlds, on a mind-boggling tour of history and sounds - from the Ancient Sumerian Priestess Sin Liturgy right up to the development of Ancient Greek and Cyrillic alphabet.

This new novel contains a dialogue between two European cultures, Roman and Greek from an Ancient Slavic perspective, an intimate encounter of Balkan, its history and culture, a glimpse into the evolution of Ancient Egyptian’s, Ancient Maltese, Ancient Greek - Ionic and Slavic sounds.

A Brief History of the world Beyond the Usual (the subtitle of the book) contains the historical overview of the development of people, sounds and symbols as frequencies.  

The author tells us why the ancient Slavic culture in Balkan had difficulty in expressing its origins, how did Sumerian cuneiform script influence the world of thought, and how did the Babylonian Amarna letters bring the revolution of consciousness. How does “B” of the Slavic name for “Bog”, “God”, connects the two distant relatives - Phoenicians and Europeans?

Traveling in time through the Ancient Maltese Temples (2,500 BC), to Maltese Ancient Greeks (600 BC), Minoan Crete, Sicily, and witnessing a Mycenaean Ancient Greek cultural explosion, reading this historical fiction, we witness the subconscious imprint within the development of the alphabet of various nations. This is a brief history of the world beyond the usual.

You own a company that does business with internationally renowned clients and whose press statements are published worldwide. Your business may not yet exist, but due to the growing global economy, these dreams have become a reality for many companies like yours.

As the economy and the corporate world remain global, we see that the need for language translation services has become even greater than ever. Writeliff writeliff.com/ recognized it very well and responded efficiently in terms of providing high-level translation services. Translation experts shared their ideas and thoughts about current industry trends and what companies need to be aware of in order to compete successfully. We will discuss this in this article.

Why are companies translating their content?

Companies can have a number of motivations to translate their content to the global audience. It may be to facilitate ventures and commercial partnerships abroad or to expand its market penetration and sell to consumers worldwide. However, for whatever reason, today's companies are becoming more specific as to what content they are dedicated to translating and to which audience.

I found an interview with Dougal Cameron, the Director of Operations for the electronic book publishing platform, called Pubsoft. He shared some great ideas that all global companies should know. He said people are avoiding doing 20 or 30 different quick translations. There is more emphasis on why it is translated for a particular audience. An accurate and simple translation can make a big difference in the way the content is obtained.

Take another expert's opinion into consideration. Ian Henderson, Chief Technology Officer at one of the technology companies, says that both poor-quality translation and very sophisticated translation cause a bad impression of the business on the target audience. It also negatively affects the brand, as the content is the first thing people read to learn more about you and your company.

So, what should you know?

If any company wants to translate its content, there are usually three main options, they are automatic translation, professional translator, and crowdsourcing. Each has its own pros and cons and specific purposes.

Which should you look for?

The translation modules that apply to certain content are based on their nature and priorities. You can use high-level translation services for your creative versions or advertising campaign, automatic translation for internal purposes, and crowdsourcing for user-generated content. The trend is becoming smarter about your content and selecting the right quality properly.

Writeliff offers highly professional translation services that not only allow you to present your content to the audience in the desired way but also to deliver the brand's message most positively and accurately.

This book being the end of the Jade del Cameron series was the book equivalent of the 10th season of Friends. Or that stupid made for TV movie that was supposed to be the big wrap up for CSI.

So disappointing.

Despite the dull cover, this is an interesting story set in Ancient Egypt. It starts out with a village that needs to move, but one member of the tribe who lost his wife has turned to madness and his sister is unsure whether he will go with them.

It's a slow boiler that reads a lot like mythology, so not a fast action read, especially in the beginning. I've taken my time reading it to absorb the beautiful imagery as well as assimilating the story and getting to know the characters. These are all well drawn and distinctive.

There's a supernatural-scifi element layered over a well-researched historical background which I found rather unique. Also uncommon is the story involves common village dwellers rather than the grandeur of the king and queens of Egypt.

A little slow in places, but will appeal to those who like to read old folktales.
