Translating poetry is considered one of the most complicated types of translations. It
encounters many difficulties, the most important of which is the question of possibility or
impossibility of translating poetry. So, it is better to start by asking the following question: is
the translation of poetry possible? Or is it impossible? It is definitely a rhetorical question
because translation is as old as the presence of translated texts, which fills the shelves of
libraries. One can ask despite these difficulties, who would discourage people of the world
from translating poetry merely because it is fundamentally impossible? (Mann, 1970: 211)
The present paper will elaborate, in more detail, upon the necessary traits of translation and
poetry, and will seek the intellectual attitudes that deal with the issue of the possibility or
impossibility of translating poetry by representing the views with or against the translation of
poetry, as well as shedding some light on the problematic issues to be tackled in this arena.
Finally, it will adopt a certain assessment model of a selection of texts that show the
impossibility of translating poetry. It is worth mentioning that the idea of writing a paper on
this theme is the outcome of the researcher's work with poets. The researcher have edited and
translated a book from English into Arabic entitled On Poetry and Translating Poetry
(2012, Beirut: Al-Jamal Publishing House). She faced many problems that urged her to write
this paper, among which, for instance, are the phonological, linguistic and cultural ones. The
paper will adopt translations taken from this book to show these difficulties.
In the present work, it had been measured the concentration of radon gas (CRn) for (10) samples of cement used in constructions before and after painting them using enamel paint, purchased from the local markets, to see the extent of its ability to reduce emissions of Rn-222 in the air. These samples were obtained from different sources available in the local markets in Baghdad and other provinces. The measurements were done by the American-made detector (RAD7). The results showed that the highest CRn in the air emitted from cement samples after coating was in the cement sample (Iranian origin) where the concentration was (58.27 Bq/m3) while the lowest CRn was found in building material samples

راجت فكرة تجديد الأدب الأوروبي بشكل عام، والأدب الإسباني بشكل خاص، بداية القرن العشرين و انعكس ذلك من خلال تبني القطيعة مع معتقدات المدرستين الكلاسيكية والرومانسية اللتان هيمنتا على الساحة الأدبية لعقود خلت. لقد ظهرت العديد من المدارس التجديدية التي رفضت القوالب الأدبية و الشعرية القديمة و تبنت نظريات شعرية لم تكن معروفة سابقا, و كان من بين تلك المدارس المدرسة السريالية. في هذا البحث نعطي فكرة عن المدرسة ال

Mobile phones are widely used nowadays, for different application such as wireless control and monitoring due to its availability and ease of use. The implemented system is based on "global system mobile (GSM)" network by using "short message service (SMS)". The design mainly contains a GSM modem and interfacing unit circuit with microcontrollers. This system could control up to eight different electrical devices such as light, Air conditioner, washing machine and many more applications which needed in daily life in different area (House, Office, or factory, etc.). The control is done by sending a specific SMS messages from traditional or smart phone. The controlling devices are restricted to a pre-defined phone number and are set in the so

Research methodology: philosophy and techniques, founded by philosophers and applied by scientists, and no accurate application of techniques except with a deep understanding of philosophy, as a prerequisite. This fact is almost completely absent from the Iraqi and Arab academic mentality. This constituted one of the dimensions of the double crisis - theoretical and applied - of research methods in the social sciences. As first, there is no philosophy of science, neither as an independent material nor as an introductory subject, but not even an oral confirmation. Secondly, the advancement of quantitative research methods are presented without a background philosophy, as sol
CO2 Laser (10600nm) is the recent method in the management of challenging skin scar resulting from trauma, burn and surgical wound. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy & safety of fractional CO2 laser (10600nm) in treatment of skin scar. Materials and Methods:Twenty patients with different types of scars treated with fractional CO2 (10600nm) laser, (10 patients) were given additional intralesional Triamcinolone. Results: All of the twenty patients included in this study showed some sort of improvements in scar texture, height and pliability and all of the ten patients who received intralesional Triamcinolone after laser show complete satisfaction. Conclusion:Fractional CO2 (10600nm) laser can be used as alternative, ef
