Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts.

The Power 9 ISEE Math Middle Level course is a one stop shop to thoroughly prep for the math portion of the Middle Level ISEE. I have spent the last three years preparing students for the middle level ISEE exam, and have seen students make it into the most prestigious private schools in the country, including Harvard Westlake and Brentwood located in Los Angeles, California.

Translation is a textual and discursive practice embedded in competing cultural identities and language ideologies; it is a site through which we can observe the operations and implications of language power. In this regard, multilingual societies provide fertile ground for the exploration of translation practice from the perspective of sociolinguistic tension.
