I lay for a moment, listening to Tarekhan breathing quietly at my side, the heat of the day already rising. I have never seen snow, of course, but I remember reading the report of a box of it carried from the farthest north, like treasure, packed in straw. And one hears the stories bought back from beyond the horizon. A freezing world. Deserts of snow. Rivers of ice. White and weightless, it may be held in the hand if one can endure the pain of its cold fire. And yet it is nothing but water. Water, which cannot be held in the hand. Only its incarnation has been changed, and I believe it changes back again depending on the world in which it finds itself. I also heard that when they finally opened the box, it was empty. This mysterious snow had vanished. Someone no doubt died for the disappointment. Such is treasure. Maybe this is also death. That is not what we hear from the Priests. We all learned the prayer: ‘when the box of the tomb is opened may the body be perfect for the perfect life after life’. But have they seen the heat of the sun god rot and putrefy the charming flesh of the living, the young and the beautiful, with their nonsensical hopes and pointless dreams, into the contorted shapes of horror and monstrosity and petrified agony? Have they seen lovely faces cut apart, holes ripped open through muscle, heads smashed to bony fragments, the strange puckering of burned flesh where the fat has boiled? I doubt it.
Translation - Romanian
Am rămas aşa întins pentru un moment, ascultând cum respira încet lângă mine Tarekhan, în vreme ce arşiţa zilei creştea.. Desigur că nu văzusem zăpadă vreodată, dar mi-am amintit că citisem o informare despre cineva care-o adusese într-o cutie, ambalată în paie, ca o comoară, tocmai din nordul îndepărtat. Uneori aud unele povestiri cumpărate cu bani grei, povestiri de dincolo de orizont. Despre o lume a gerurilor, plină de pustietăţi de zăpadă şi râuri îngheţate: albă şi imponderabilă, aproape c-ai putea s-o ţii în căuşul palmei, dacă ai putea îndura săgetarea focului ei rece. Şi e ciudat, pentru că e doar apă, iar apa nu poate fi apucată cu mâna. S-a modificat doar întruparea ei şi mă gândesc că s-ar putea schimba din nou, depinzând de lumea în care se află. Am mai aflat că după ce au deschis cutia, nu mai era nimic în ea. Zăpada aceea misterioasă pierise cu desăvârşire. Cineva a plătit cu propria lui viaţă dezamăgirea pe care a produs-o, negreşit! Astfel se întâmplă cu orice comoară. Poate că aşa arată şi moartea, deşi preoţii noştri ne spun altfel. Ştim cu toţii pe dinafară rugăciunea „ şi când se va deschide lada din mormânt, fie ca trupul să rămână nestricat în toate vieţile viitoare”. Oare nu au văzut, orbiţi de speranţele lor absurde şi de visele lor fără de rost, cum se descompune şi putrezeşte sub razele zeului soare fermecătoarea carne a celor vii, a celor tineri şi frumoşi, oare n-au văzut cum se transformă în trupuri contorsionate de oroarea şi monstruozitatea unei agonii pietrificate? Oare chiar nu au văzut niciodată chipuri încântătoare cum zac spintecate sau rănile adânci dintr-un muşchi sau aşchiile unui craniu sfărâmat sau n-au văzut în ce fel straniu se încreţeşte şi se strânge carnea arsă după ce se topeşte grăsimea? Mă îndoiesc.

The extent to which a company hands over administration of its fleet varies considerably from company to company, with some opting for a full outsourcing arrangement, incorporating all aspects of fleet management and administration, and others focusing on a particular activity, such as accident management. A successful outsourcing contract requires the provider to communicate closely with the customer's drivers and key business functions such as HR, finance and payroll, as well as external entities, including the Inland Revenue. Correctly managed, the end result of an outsourcing arrangement should be a more efficiently run fleet.
Outsourcing non-core functions, such as fleet management, can save companies money, offer greater flexibility in the ongoing control of overheads and provide a source of consolidated expertise from their chosen supplier.
Translation - Romanian
Măsura în care o companie transfera administrarea parcului ei auto variază considerabil de la companie la companie; unele optează pentru un acord de externalizarea totală care incorporează toate aspectele de management şi administrare ale parcului auto, altele se concentrează asupra unei activităţi specifice, cum ar fi managementul accidentelor. Un contract de externalizare reuşit presupune ca furnizorul să comunice îndeaproape cu şoferii clientului şi cu angajaţii unor birouri cheie ale afacerii cum ar fi : Personal/Resurse Umane, Financiar şi Plata salariilor, cât şi cu entităţi exterioare, inclusiv cu autoritatea pentru taxe si impozite. Dacă este administrat corect, rezultatul final al acordului de externalizare ar trebui să fie un parc auto condus mult mai eficient.

Externalizarea unor funcţiuni care nu reprezintă esenţa afacerii, cum ar fi administrarea parcului auto, poate economisi bani pentru companii, poate oferi o mai mare flexibilitate pentru cheltuielile administrative şi poate oferi o sursă de expertiză consolidată de la furnizorul ales de acestea..

“Everything depends which side of the shotgun you’re on,” Herbert said. And sipped his coffee as if daring his son to press him further. Wells hadn’t understood then, but he did now. Truer words were never said. He wondered what his father, five years gone, would think of the man he’d become. He had just started down this path when Herbert passed on, and if his dad had any thoughts on the matter he’d kept them to himself.
Translation - Romanian
- Totul depinde de ce parte a puştii te afli, a spus Herbert. Şi a sorbit din cafea, de parcă îşi provoca fiul să insiste. Wells nu a înţeles atunci, dar acum ştia: nimeni nu a rostit cuvinte mai adevărate. Tatăl lui murise cu cinci ani în urmă şi se întreba ce ar fi gândit despre el, care era bărbat acum.
