thank you very much

English to Latin
Love her. The context of this is a mariner or seafarer telling or commanding someone to love their sailing boat. The passage reads:

"Take care of your boat now. Love her. She’ll be more than a home. She’ll be your friend."

Many thanks, Martyn


 * Do you want the entire passage? Just that phrase is Eam ama. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 18:07, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Homework Document Translation English to Scottish Gaelic
My daughter had to do a project on a family member who migrated to New Zealand, the only person we had information for was my grandmother whose main language is Scottish Gaelic. She has to do an oral presentation in that person's character. Pleas help translate the information below:

My name is Catherine MacRae, people usually call me Kate. My maiden name was MacKinnon.

I travelled alone and left the Isle of Skye on the ferry to mainland Scotland where I stayed with a friend for a few nights. Then I travelled on the overnight train to England arriving in time to embark on the Shaw Savill and Albion Co., Limited steamship ‘Tainui’. This left Southhampton England, on 9 September 1920, stopped in Auckland and continued to Wellington where I arrived on the 31 0ctober 1920, the voyage took 59 days, which is 8 weeks and three days. Most days the sea was calm but somedays I was reminded of the ferry trips to the mainland of Scotland which could be very rough. Calm to me was enough for others to call it rough, when I thought it was rough others on the ship were thinking that staying in England may have been a good idea.

Most of my companions on the voyage were single females the youngest being 19 years of age, the eldest was a housekeeper in her forties. There was a married woman travelling with her infant son to join her husband in New Zealand. Thirty three of my companions were from England, one from Wales, another from Ireland. With nine of us from Scotland. The time on the ship allowed me to improve my English, as my main language is Gaelic.

Before The Great War I was engaged to the boy next door. When War was declared, he and the other young men of the community enlisted in the war, leaving the less able members of the family to continue on the crofts, or fishing in the north sea, which they did admirable. After the War the returned servicemen were offered the opportunity to go to New Zealand and settle there. The Government offered them assisted passage; the government gave them money towards their cost of travel. My fiancé accepted this offer and travelled to the other side of the world. Once he was settled and had a job he wrote and let me know, so that I could start making arrangements, he sent me money to help with my fare and once I had enough I finalised my travel details, so that I could join him and get married. It was scary leaving everything and everyone I knew in Scotland, especially my two older sisters, five younger brothers and a younger sister. It was also exciting to travel around the world to start a new life, and get married.

My fiancé worked on the wharfs in Wellington, so that is where I came to when I arrived in New Zealand. He had arranged accommodation for me until we could get married. Once we were married we brought a house on the hill in Johnsonville. Two years late we had our first child.

The hardest part was not many people spoke the language that I had grown up with, which was Gaelic. My husband and I helped start the Gaelic Association of Wellington. As there were a number of people from Scotland we still had the Traditional Hogmanay celebration each New Year with First Footers and ensuring the table was full of food. I make the traditional shortbread recipe that we used at home. Most of my spare time is spent knitting. We continue to celebrate Burns night with the piping in of the Haggis, Ode to the Haggis and a recital of one of his poems by each household in attendance.

What I missed the most was the large community gathering each week as I was one of nine children and my husband was one of fourteen. The lack of Gaelic language in everyday life was strange and not always having someone to talk to made me feel lonely often. Life in New Zealand was not as harsh as it was on Skye. There we walked everywhere, things took a lot longer at home, and the winters without being snowbound for days on end was wonderful. Late I had two brothers that came to live in New Zealand, and one settled in Australia.

 * This reminds me of how The Klingon Dictionary advises that the verb meaning "to be afraid" is rarely used in the first person.

Unspecified language
Italic textRecently the Air Force refined its understanding of the core duties and responsibilities it performs as a Military Service Branch, streamlining what previously were six distinctive capabilities and seventeen operational functions into twelve core functions to be used across the doctrine, organization, training, equipment, leadership, and education, personnel, and facilities spectrum. These core functions express the ways in which the Air Force is particularly and appropriately suited to contribute to national security, but they do not necessarily express every aspect of what the Air Force contributes to the nation. It should be emphasized that the core functions, by themselves, are not doctrinal constructs.[9] [edit] Nuclear Deterrence Operations The purpose of Nuclear Deterrence Operations (NDO) is to operate, maintain, and secure nuclear forces to achieve an assured capability to deter an adversary from taking action against vital US interests. In the event deterrence fails, the US should be able to appropriately respond with nuclear options. The sub-elements of this function are:[9] Assure/Dissuade/Deter is a mission set derived from the Air Force’s readiness to carry out the nuclear strike operations mission as well as from specific actions taken to assure allies as a part of extended deterrence. Dissuading others from acquiring or proliferating WMD, and the means to deliver them, contributes to promoting security and is also an integral part of this mission. Moreover, different deterrence strategies are required to deter various adversaries, whether they are a nation state, or non-state/transnational actor. The Air Force maintains and presents credible deterrent capabilities through successful visible demonstrations and exercises which assure allies, dissuade proliferation, deter potential adversaries from actions that threaten US national security or the populations and deployed military forces of the US, its allies and friends.[9] Nuclear strike is the ability of nuclear forces to rapidly and accurately strike targets which the enemy holds dear in a devastating manner. If a crisis occurs, rapid generation and, if necessary, deployment of nuclear strike capabilities will demonstrate US resolve and may prompt an adversary to alter the course of action deemed threatening to our national interest. Should deterrence fail, the President may authorize a precise, tailored response to terminate the conflict at the lowest possible level and lead to a rapid cessation of hostilities. Post-conflict, regeneration of a credible nuclear deterrent capability will deter further aggression. The Air Force may present a credible force posture in either the continental US, within a theater of operations, or both to effectively deter the range of potential adversaries envisioned in the 21st century. This requires the ability to engage targets globally using a variety of methods; therefore, the Air Force should possess the ability to induct, train, assign, educate and exercise individuals and units to rapidly and effectively execute missions that support US NDO objectives. Finally, the Air Force regularly exercises and evaluates all aspects of nuclear operations to ensure high levels of performance.[9] Nuclear surety ensures the safety, security and effectiveness of nuclear operations. Because of their political and military importance, destructive power, and the potential consequences of an accident or unauthorized act, nuclear weapons and nuclear weapon systems require special consideration and protection against risks and threats inherent in their peacetime and wartime environments. The Air Force, in conjunction with other entities within the Departments of Defense or Energy, achieves a high standard of protection through a stringent nuclear surety program. This program applies to materiel, personnel, and procedures that contribute to the safety, security, and control of nuclear weapons, thus assuring no nuclear accidents, incidents, loss, or unauthorized or accidental use (a Broken Arrow incident). The Air Force continues to pursue safe, secure and effective nuclear weapons consistent with operational requirements. Adversaries, allies, and the American people must be highly confident of the Air Force’s ability to secure nuclear weapons from accidents, theft, loss, and accidental or unauthorized use. This day-to-day commitment to precise and reliable nuclear operations is the cornerstone of the credibility of the NDO mission. Positive nuclear command, control, communications;

Altruistic behaviour raises major questions for psychology and biology. One hypothesis proposes that human altruistic behaviour evolved as a result of sexual selection. Mechanisms that seek to explain how sexual selection works suggest genetic influence acting on both the mate preference for the trait and the preferred trait itself

My tears are heavy and I try not to breakdown everyday and keep a smile on my face, but it has become too hard I know I can't last much longer. I wish I could erase my memory of you and start over, but then I think that would have been much worse. My love for you will never go away I wish you would see that,my love.
