The "Lado" ensemble of the Croatian folk dance and song and the Ukraine national folklore ensemble "Verjovka" are staging a folklore spectacle in the Pula Arena on 8 August.


Ansambl narodnih plesova i pjesama Hrvatske "Lado" i Ukrajinski nacionalni folklorni ansambl "Verjovka" priredit će 8. kolovoza u pulskoj Areni folklorni spektakl.


This project, as "Lado" the host and the organizer announced, is one of the most demanding concert events of this season in Croatia.


Taj je projekt, kako je najavio domaćin i organizator "Lado" jedan od najzahtjevnijih i najvećih koncertnih događaja ove sezone u Hrvatskoj.


A total of 150 dancers, singers, musicians in a two-hour programme will perform the most beautiful and the most attractive musical and dance acts from the rich Croatian folklore heritage.


Ukupno 150 plesača, pjevača i glazbenika u dvosatnom će programu izvoditi najljepše i najatraktivnije glazbene i plesne točke iz bogate hrvatske folklorne baštine.


The Ukraine national folklore ensemble "Verjovka", with its unique style in performing Ukraine folk songs has been thrilling the audience all over the world for more than 60 years, which justifies the epithet of Ukraine as "the land of nightingale" thanks to its singers of velvet voices.


Ukrajinski nacionalni folklorni ansambl "Verjovka više od 60 godina svojim jedinstvenim stilom izvođenja ukrajinskih narodnih pjesama oduševljava publiku diljem svijeta te uvelike opravdava epitet "zemlja slavuja" koji Ukrajina nosi zbog svojih pjevača baršunastih glasova.


The price of the ticket for this unique folklore event, which is starting at 9.30 p.m., is HRK 150 and HRK 200, and they can be bought in the Aktiva Travel agency at the address Scalierova 1.


Cijena ulaznica za ovaj jedinstveni folklorni događaj, koji će započeti u 21,30 sati, je 150 i 200 kuna, a mogu se kupiti u Aktiva Travellu u Scalierovoj 1.

Research goals: The object of this research is the embryonic sac i.e. the architecture of placenta and embryonic membranes.


Ciljevi istraživanja: Područje istraživanja je arhitektura embrionalnog mjehura: placente i embrionalnih ovoja.


The homogenity of placental structure as a whole has been analysed and possible regional structural differences have been stated vertically from subchorionic to parabasal zone, and horizontally from the region of umbilical cord insertion to the edge of the organ.


Analizira se homogenost građe placente kao cjeline i ustanovljuje eventualne regionalne strukturne razlike: vertikalno, od subhorionske do parabazalne zone te horizontalno, od područja insercije pupkovine do ruba organa.


Structural changes during differentiation and maturation in chronological continuity were also estimated and compared.


Jednako tako ocjenjuju se i uspoređuju u kronološkom kontinuitetu strukturne promjene tijekom diferencijacije i maturacije placente.


The field of reference is the parenchyma of placenta with all its structural elements: chorionic villi, its syncytiotrophoblast with differentiated parts (alpha and beta zones), placental barrier (membrane), mesenchymal stroma, chorionic blood vessels, placental fibrinoids and intervillous space.


Referentno područje je parenhim placente sa svim strukturnim elementima: horionske resice, a u njima sinciciotrofoblast i njegovi diferencirani dijelovi (alfa i beta zone, čvorići), placentna barijera (membrana),mezenhimalna stroma, horionske krvne žile, placentni fibrinoid te intervilusni prostor.


Morphological stereological light microscopic analysis include electron-microscopic level.


Morfološko-stereološke svjetlosno-mikroskopske analize proširuju se i na elektronsko-mikroskopsku razinu.


Research goals: The main purpose of the project is the improvement of comprehension on determinants of criminal behavior and the effects of various treatments applied to convicts and persons prone to crime.


Ciljevi istraživanja: Glavni cilj projekta je unapređivanje spoznaja o determinantama kriminalnog ponašanja i efektima različitih tretmana osuđenih i osoba sklonih kriminalu.


This aim will be accomplished by work on two topics: the first includes examination and establishing the relationships between factors which theoretically belong to the domain of causal elements or correlates of criminal behavior on the one hand, and deviant, criminal and behavior during treatment on the other hand.


Ovaj cilj ostvarit će se radom na dvije teme: prva uključuje ispitivanje i utvrđivanje veza i odnosa između faktora koji teorijski pripadaju domeni kauzalnih osnova ili korelata kriminalnog ponašanja s jedne i devijantnog, kriminalnog i ponašanja u toku i nakon tretmana.


The second main topic relates to the construction and/or adaptation of psychological instruments for the assessment of criminologically relevant characteristics, as well as criminological and penological features.


Drugo glavno područje rada odnosi se na izradu ili/i adaptaciju mjernih instrumenata za procjenu kriminološki relevantnih osobina, te kriminolosko-penoloskih obilježja.


It is expected that the realisation of these aims, in addition to basic insights, can provide informations which will enable better diagnosis of criminologically relevant characteristics, improve planning and conducting the treatment (especially its individualisation), advance the execution of criminal sanctions and provide additional basis for undertaking more efficient strategies of crime prevention.


Očekuje se da će ova istraživanja, pored bazičnih spoznaja, pružiti i informacije koje će osigurati bolju dijagnozu kriminološki relevantnih karakteristika, poboljšati planiranje i provođenje tretmana (posebno njegovu individualizaciju), unaprijediti izvršenje krivičnih sankcija, te pružiti dodatne osnove za poduzimanje efikasnijih mjera prevencije kriminala.

Pepe Jeans pants started to be marketed way back in 1973 at Portobello Market stalls under the railway bridge in Notting Hill, accompanied by the sounds of dub reggae music in the background.


U Londonu, još davne 1973. godine, na štandovima Portobello tržnice ispod željezničkog mosta u Notting Hillu, uz zvuke dub-reggae glazbe, počele su se prodavati Pepe Jeans traperice.


Wishing to get hold of good jeans and cool clothes, young, rebellious people from the farthest parts of London traveled to this market, sometimes even for hours, by train, bus, bike… Today, 37 years later, one doesn’t have to get wet in the rain while buying Pepe Jeans clothes on the market.


Na ovu tržnicu, u želji da se dočepaju dobrih traperica i cool odjeće, dolazili su mladi, buntovni ljudi iz najudaljenijih dijelova Londona, putovali su, katkad i satima, vlakom, autobusom, biciklom… Danas, trideset i sedam godina poslije, više se ne kisne na tržnici dok se kupuje Pepe Jeans odjeća.


It is enough to walk into one of the Pepe Jeans stores and enjoy the charm of shopping since, today, Pepe Jeans pants, as well as other clothing items of this leading streetwear brand, are sold in over 300 stores in 60 countries worldwide.


Dovoljno je ušetati u jedan od Pepe Jeans dućana i prepustiti se radosti kupnje jer Pepe Jeans traperice, ali i ostala odjeća ovog vodećeg branda u svijetu streetwear odjeće prodaje se u preko 300 dućana u 60 država diljem svijeta.


One of such stores is wulf:sport’s Pepe Jeans Store in Zagreb’s City Center One shopping center, where in a beautiful interior and pleasant atmosphere, accompanied by the sounds of urban music and kind staff, one can find jeans in all colors as well as wacky shirts and blouses, which is enough to satisfy all trendsetters who love street fashion, the London vibe and a dynamic lifestyle.


Jedan od takvih dućana je i wulf:sportov Pepe Jeans Store u zagrebačkom trgovačkom centru City Center One, gdje se u prekrasnom interijeru, u ugodnoj atmosferi uz zvuke urbane glazbe i uz pomoć ljubaznog osoblja mogu pronaći traperice u svim mogućim bojama, lude majice i košulje, koje će zadovoljiti svakog trendsettera koji voli uličnu modu, londonski štih i dinamičan životni stil.

On the fifth day since the activity to save and fight for survival of the elephants - one of them being heavily injured during hunting - their false buyer (a person who owns a transport company and is in business of selling elephants), with approval of the Park and ZOO "Brijuni" Director, is still keeping the animal in chains in the truck trailer.


Petog dana od početka akcije spašavanja i borbe za opstanak slonova, od kojih je jedan teško ozlijeđen prilikom lova, njihov lažni kupac (inače, autoprijevoznik - trgovac slonovima) uz odobrenje ravnatelja Parka i Zoo vrta "Brijuni" još uvijek ga drži vezanog lancima u prikolici kamiona.


The elephant cannot even lie down and is not getting any food or water.


Slon ne može niti ležati niti sjediti, a ne dobiva hranu niti vodu.


Veterinary inspection supported our action and ordered release of the elephant, but it's "owner", salesman Antun Gertner does not wish to act in accordance with the Law.


Veterinarska inspekcija je podržala našu akciju, te je naredila oslobađanje slona, ali njegov "vlasnik", trgovac Antun Gertner ne želi postupiti po zakonu.


Police hasn't responded yet.


Policija nije još reagirala.


The female elephant, separated from the male elephant, is trying to hurt herself by banging against the iron pillars with her head and refusing to take food.


Slonica, koja je odvojena od slona, pokušava samoozlijeđivanje udaranjem glavom o željezne stupove i odbijanjem hrane.


Therefore, we decided that during today's (08/08/2000) action we would visit the place and contribute to the release of the elephant by our direct action, as well as stop the destruction of the flora and fauna of the Park and ZOO "Brijuni", it being the part of the national natural treasures.


Zato smo odlučili da tijekom današnje (8/8/2000) večeri krenemo na lice mjesta i svojim direktnom akcijom doprinesemo oslobađanju slona, te zaustavimo uništavanje životinjskog i biljnog svijeta Parka i ZOO vrta "Brijuni", koji je dio nacionalnog prirodnog blaga.


All NGOs and many citizens of Istria joint our activities and are today organizing signing of the petition "SOS for elephants and remaining animals at the Park and ZOO "Brijuni".


U ovo akciju uključile su se sve nevladine organizacije i mnogi građani Istre, te danas organiziraju potpisivanje peticije "SOS za slonove i preostale životinje u parku i ZOO "Brijuni".


Citizens of Osijek can sign the petition from 11 am to 2pm and from 7,30 pm until member of Osijek Green start their trip to Brijuni.


Osječani mogu potpisati peticiju od 11-14 sati te od 19,30 sati do polaska aktivista Osječkih Zelenih na put prema Brijunima.

Investing our clients’ funds is a demanding and responsible task, one we do not take lightly.


Investiranje sredstava naših klijenata zahtjevna je i odgovorna zadaća.


One of our guiding principles which we strictly adhere to is to invest client funds in instruments and strategies in which we too are willing to invest in and own personally.


Jedan od glavnih principa koji slijedimo je da sredstva klijenta ulažemo u one instrumente i one strategije u koje smo spremni uložiti i vlastita sredstva.


According to client requirements, we will develop the best investment strategy based on the investment horizon and risk tolerance of that particular client.


Sukladno njegovim željama, investicijskom horizontu i toleranciji rizika za svakog klijenta razvijamo najbolju investicijsku strategiju.


The agreed upon investment strategy will be implemented by investing in a diversified portfolio composed of different asset classes, which is actively manage by our qualified portfolio managers.


Dogovorenu investicijsku strategiju implementiramo ulažući u diverzificirani portfelj sastavljen od različitih imovinskih klasa, kojim aktivno upravljaju naši portfolio manageri.


Throughout our dealings with our clients, we will monitor any and all personal and/or business changes that may impact on the agreed upon strategy and in consultation with clients will develop new and appropriate investment solutions if the need arises.


Tijekom suradnje pratimo promjene klijentove osobne ili poslovne situacije koje utječu na dogovorenu strategiju te u dogovoru s klijentima mijenjamo investicijska rješenja i kreiramo nova .


Relationships with our clients are based on an individualistic approach, discretion and a long-term, forward-looking partnership.


Odnos s klijentima temeljimo na individualnom pristupu, diskreciji i dugotrajnom partnerskom odnosu.


InterCapital offers investment solutions through five different investment profiles: cash, conservative, balanced, growing and aggressively growing portfolios.


InterCapital Vam nudi investicijska rješenja kroz pet različitih investicijskih profila: novčani, konzervativni, mješoviti, rastući i agresivno rastući portfelj.


The structure and shape that the portfolio ultimately takes is dependent upon the respective client’s current stage in life and their individual needs and interests.


Strukturu i ograničenja portfelja oblikujemo uzimajući u obzir životnu fazu i individualne interese klijenta.


The personal situation of each client is definitely the most important factor in the development of our forward-looking investment strategies; therefore, life cycle phase is a guiding framework for structuring the portfolio (see diagram below).


Osobna situacija svakog pojedinog klijenta ipak je najvažniji čimbenik prilikom razvoja investicijske strategije, stoga faza životnog ciklusa predstavlja okvirnu smjernicu kod strukturiranja portfelja.


In the first phase, individuals typically have low salaries and high costs.


U prvoj fazi pojedinci najčešće imaju niska primanja i visoke troškove.


For many of today’s professionals, education may run through their late 20's or early 30's, at which point a career begins to develop, revenues earned, and profits accumulated.


Za mnoge profesionalce danas je sasvim uobičajeno trajanje obrazovanja do kasnih 20-ih ili ranih 30-ih godina, kada započinju karijeru i ostvarivanje zarade.


During this time portfolios are generally smaller and more focused towards long-term growth.


U to doba portfelji su uglavnom manji te više okrenuti dugoročnom rastu.


The high costs which are typical for this stage can be attributed to the re-payment of education loans, as well as the first time home and / or vehicle purchases.


Visoki troškovi karakteristični za ovu fazu mogu se pripisati kupovini prvog doma i/ili vozila, kreditu za obrazovanje i slično.


The second phase is characterized by increasing net income and higher costs associated with both having and raising children.


Druga faza odlikuje se povećanjem zarade te visokim troškovima podizanja djece.


Establishing a family unit results in increased costs at this stage, and reduces the possibility of savings as well.


Trend sve kasnijeg zasnivanja obitelji utječe na povećanje troškova u ovoj fazi, te smanjuje mogućnost štednje tijekom ovog perioda.


In this phase, portfolios should be focused on long-term growth and increasing the equity component of the portfolio.


I u ovoj fazi portfelji bi trebali biti okrenuti dugoročnom rastu te povećanju dioničke komponente portfelja.


The third phase is characterized by peak earnings potential.


Treća faza predstavlja vrhunac zarađivanja.


Savings, investment and the elimination of credit are typical for this phase.


Štednja, investicije i eliminacija kredita karakteristične su za ovu fazu.


The stock component of the portfolio is still significant.


Dionička komponenta portfelja i dalje je značajna.


In the fourth phase, the emphasis is usually diverted to preserving capital while maintaining the same lifestyle.


U četvrtoj fazi naglasak se uobičajeno preusmjerava na očuvanje kapitala i zadržavanja istog stila života.


During retirement, living costs are lowered; however, money is often spent on leisure, travel and hobbies.


Tijekom mirovine troškovi života se smanjuju, no često se sredstva troše na putovanja i hobije.


The importance of the pension plan becomes apparent during this period.


Važnost mirovinskog plana postaje očita tijekom umirovljeničkog perioda.


Given the fact that the time horizon is shorter in this phase, it is desirable that the portfolio(s) consists of risk averse asset classes.


S obzirom da je vremenski horizont kraći, poželjnije je da se portfelji sastoje od niskorizične imovine.


InterCapital’s ancillary company, InterCapital Asset Management (ICAM d.o.o.), is a pioneer in the Croatian market with regards to the establishment and management of open-end investment funds with a private offering.


InterCapitalova tvrtka InterCapital Asset Management (ICAM d.o.o.) pionir je hrvatskom tržištu u osnivanju i upravljanju otvorenim investicijskim fondovima s privatnom ponudom.


The establishment of private funds was approved by the Law on investment funds in late 2005.


Osnivanje privatnih fondova omogućeno je Zakonom o investicijskim fondovima krajem 2005. godine.


During 2006 we founded the first private fund. Today the number of private funds under management has increased to seven.


Tijekom 2006. godine osnovali smo prve privatne fondove, a do danas je njihov broj narastao na sedam.


Last in the series of our Private Funds is our Stability Fund, which was started on the 17th of October 2008.


Posljednji u nizu je Fond za stabilnost koji je s radom započeo 17. listopada 2008. godine.


The so-called emergency fund, which we have at our disposal, can pay-out other funds under management who otherwise cannot sell portions of their assets under management in a quick and efficient manner.


Riječ je o tzv. interventnom fondu kojem se mogu dobrovoljno obratiti društva za upravljanje fondovima koja ne mogu prodati dijelove svoje imovine, a istovremeno imaju zahtjeve udjelničara za isplatama.


The requirement for the purchase of assets is for the respective asset management company, whose fund is under financial stress, to start the process of liquidation, culminating in the closing of the fund within a reasonable time.


Uvjet za otkup imovine je da društvo za upravljanje problematičnim fondom pokrene proces likvidacije, odnosno zatvaranje tog fonda u razumnom vremenu.


Initial investors in our Stability Fund are four associations for the management of mandatory pension funds (AZ Retirement Association, ROMF, PBZ-CO retirement company, Erste Plavi), as well as four leading companies who manage open-end investment funds (ZB Invest, PBZ Invest, Invest RBA, Erste Invest).


Inicijalni ulagači u Fond za stabilnost su četiri društva za upravljanje obveznim mirovinskim fondovima (AZ mirovinsko društvo, ROMF, PBZ-CO mirovinsko društvo, Erste Plavi), te četiri vodeća društva za upravljanje otvorenim investicijskim fondovima (ZB Invest, PBZ Invest, RBA Invest, Erste Invest).


The founders of the Fund dedicated 150 million HRK for the Fund’s establishment, with an initial payment of 50 million HRK, and the remaining 100 million HRK to be provided by InterCapital Asset Management (ICAM d.o.o.).


Osnivači su za potrebe djelovanja fonda dedicirali 150 milijuna kuna, s tim da je uplaćeno 50 milijuna kuna inicijalnih sredstava, a ostatak od 100 milijuna kuna uplatit će se na poziv InterCapital Asset Managementa (ICAM-a d.o.o.).


Other private funds under management are personalized funds of just one investor and are intended specifically for individuals with a significant amount of money to invest in the money markets and capital markets.


Ostale privatne fondove pod upravljanjem čine fondovi jednog ulagača te fondovi namijenjeni pojedincima sa značajnijim novčanim iznosima za investiranje na novčanom tržištu i tržištu kapitala.


The specific feature of private open-end investment funds, in relation to public open-end investment funds, is to sell shares in a fund with a private offering of "qualified" investors.


Specifičnost privatnih otvorenih investicijskih fondova u odnosu na javne fondove sastoji se u prodaji udjela u fondu privatnom ponudom “kvalificiranim” ulagačima.


Qualified investors are investors who conduct business as an investment or pension fund, as well as an investment management company, pension fund, bank, insurance, and/or brokerage company.


Kvalificirani ulagači su investitori koji na temelju važećeg odobrenja posluju kao investicijski ili mirovinski fond, kao društvo za upravljanje investicijskim ili mirovinskim fondom, te banka, osiguravajuće ili brokersko društvo.


Qualified investors are all companies and individuals whose net asset value exceeds 1,500,000HRK and are able to dedicate at least 750,000HRK in cash for the fund’s establishment.


Kvalificirani ulagači su i sva druga trgovačka društva ili fizičke osobe kojima neto vrijednost imovine prelazi 1.500.000 kn i koji za potrebe ulaganja u fond raspolažu gotovim novcem u iznosu od najmanje 750.000 kn.


The number of shareholders in the fund is limited to a maximum of 200, while the asset management company has the reserved right to accept or reject any potential investors.


Broj udjelničara u fondu je ograničen na maksimalno 200, a pritom društvo za upravljanje ima diskrecijsko pravo pozivanja i prihvaćanja potencijanih investitora.


The price per shares of the fund is not a publicly disclosed; rather, it is communicated to shareholders in a private manner, as are all reports relating to the operations of the fund.


Cijena udjela u fondu nije javni podatak, već se komunicira udjelničarima u privatnom aranžmanu, kao i sva izvješća koja se odnose na poslovanje fonda.


Private funds are subject to oversight by a regulator (Croatian Agency for Supervision of Financial Services), but in terms of an investment strategy they have a little more freedom of action in comparison to funds with a public offering.


Privatni fondovi su predmet nadzora regulatora (Hrvatske agencije za nadzor financijskih usluga), ali u smislu strategije ulaganja imaju nešto veću slobodu djelovanja u usporedbi s fondovima s javnom ponudom.

In the field above Kaštel Novi, from time immemorial is cultivated vine.


U polju iznad Kaštel Novog od pamtivjeka se uzgaja vinova loza.


Of the old sorts like for e.g. kaštelanski crljenak, in the world and particularly in California better known as Zinfandel, there is not many remained.


Starih sorti kao što je npr. kaštelanski crljenak, u svijetu, a posebno u Kaliforniji poznatiji kao Zinfandel, ostalo je vrlo malo.


Homeland of that American vine is Kaštel Novi where a few grape-vines still groves in the Mr. Radunić vineyard.


Domovina te američke loze je Kaštel Novi gdje nekoliko trsova još uvijek raste u vinogradu gospodina Radunića.


A few new vineyards of that grape-vine were planted while the grape-vine of the Kaštela’s Crljenak found its place also in the Bible Garden.


Posađeno je i nekoliko novih vinograda te loze, a loza kaštelanskog Crljenka pronašla je svoje mjesto i u Biblijskom vrtu.


In early autumn 1998, my wife came to New York for three months as a Fulbright scholar.


Početkom jeseni 1998. godine supruga je kao Fulbrightov stipendist došla u New York na tri mjeseca.


During the first month, when she searched for accommodation for all of us, she was staying with her teacher Deborah Hecht, an actress and stage speech teacher at the New York University, Tisch School of the Art.


Prvih mjesec dana, dok je tražila smještaj za obitelj, gostoprimstvo joj je pružila njena nastavnica Deborah Hecht, glumica i profesorica scenskog govora na New York University, Tisch School of the Art.


After about a month, Ana and I joined my wife in New York.


Već smo nakon otprilike mjesec dana Ana i ja došli za mamom i suprugom u New York.


We planned to stay for two months and go back home with her, but we stayed for five months instead.


Nas dvoje smo planirali ostati dva mjeseca i vratiti se s mamom kući, a ostali smo pet mjeseci.


After the transatlantic flight which was not at all a problem for Ana, entering the United States was an easy thing.


Nakon prekooceanskog leta koji je Ana podnijela sjajno, ulazak u SAD nije bio kompliciran.


The American passport officer only gave me a useful piece of advice: "Take care of your daughter".


Američki pasoški službenik samo je rekao kao koristan savjet: "čuvajte kćer".


It did concern me, but only for a short while.


To me zabrinulo, no, ne za dugo.


After taking care of some customs formalities, we were in America.


Nevelike carinske formalnosti i mi smo u Americi.


My wife made all of the arrangements for our arrival and after a lengthy search she borrowed an apartment from some people who were to go on a theater tour for a few months.


Supruga je pripremila sve za naš dolazak, a nakon dužeg traženja iznajmila je stan od ljudi koji su na par mjeseci otišli na teatarsku turneju.


In order to gain approval for our stay in the apartment, she had to undergo a long interview with the tenants' representatives.


Da bi ušli u taj stan morala je ići na dugotrajni interview sa predstavnicima stanara.


They could have refused to let us stay there if we did not meet their standards.


Oni su mogli odbiti naš ulazak u kuću, ukoliko ne odgovaramo njihovim standardima.


However, we proved to be suitable enough.


Bili smo podobni.


The apartment was cozy and comfortable, located on the second floor of a well-maintained building, and was twice as big as our apartment in Zagreb.


Udoban i komforan stan na drugom katu dobro održavane kuće dvostruko je veći od našeg zagrebačkog.


The short time we spent there was the most intense and most significant time in our lives.


U njemu smo, iako relativno kratko, proživjeli najintenzivniji i najznačajniji dio našeg života.


Peaceful Suffolk Street on Manhattan, in the Lower East Side, is often used as the location for shooting movies because of its picturesque look of an early 20th century New York neighborhood.


Mirna ulica Suffolk, na Manhattanu u četvrti Lower East Side, zbog svoje karakteristične slikovitosti New Yorka s početka 20. st., često je poprište filmskih snimanja.


We spent many an evening and night awake, watching the movies, mainly thrillers, being shot right below our window.


Više smo večeri i noći probdjeli promatrajući s našeg prozora snimanja prizora, uglavnom kriminalističkih filmova, koji su se odvijali odmah ispod nas.


Everything was close and within reach: the NYU, the library, parks, interesting cafes, the market place, and Chinese and Italian restaurants.


Sve nam je bilo blizu i na dohvat, NYU, biblioteka, parkovi, zanimljivi kafići, tržnica, kineski i talijanski restorani.


After all, our neighborhood was located between Chinatown, Little Italy and Soho, and the nearby Williamsburg Bridge connected us with Brooklyn.


Konačno, naša je četvrt smještena između Kineske četvrti, Male Italije i Sohoa, a obližnji most Williamsbourgh bridge nas veže s Brooklinom.


We felt safe and at ease in America and New York.


U New Yorku i Americi smo se osjećali sigurno i udobno.


It was a significant change compared to my experience of 25 years ago.


To je bitna promjena od mojih iskustava od pred 25 godina.


Throughout our stay, New York seemed (and indeed was) a very safe city, Manhattan in particular.


New York nam se tijekom cijelog boravka činio (i bio) vrlo siguran grad. Mislim na Manhattan.


As far as we could tell from the Croatian newspapers, there were more murders and robberies in Zagreb and Croatia.


Više se ubojstva i razbojstava događalo u Zagrebu i Hrvatskoj, što smo pratili preko našeg tiska.


If there was an armed robbery in a park on Manhattan, it was the breaking story on TV news for three days.


Kada bi netko na Manhattanu nožem iznudio neki novac u parku o tome je televizija brujala bar tri dana.


We felt safe on the subway and even late-night strolls did not seem like a risky thing to do.


Osjećali smo i sigurnost u podzemnoj željeznici, a i kasne večernje šetnje nisu nam izgledale opasne.


The New York subway, our frequent means of transport, was one of final proofs of Ana's deafness.


Newyorška podzemna željeznica, naš česti prijevoznik, bila je jedan od posljednjih testova Anine gluhoće.


We were surprised that the loud and disturbing noise, the screeching of brakes, the deafening banging and squeaking of carriages in curves, loud and sharp horns and sudden noisy passing by another train did not bother her at all.


Iznenadilo nas je da joj jaka i neprijatna buka vožnje, škripa kočnica i zaglušna tutnjava i cviljenje vagona u zavojima, jake i prodorna sirene i iznenadno bučno mimoilaženje vlakova nije ni najmanje smetalo.


She did not pay attention or respond to these sounds even though she wore hearing aids.


Na te zvukove nije se ni osvrtala ili reagirala iako je nosila slušne aparate.


We have a touching memory from the subway: a young man, seeing her hearing aids, said "I love you" in sign language.


Iz podzemne željeznice nosimo i dirljivo iskustvo kada joj je jedan gluhi mladić, zapazivši slušna pomagala, uputio američkim znakovnim jezikom "I love you".


Among other things, we had an opportunity to listen to some great music in the carriages and at the stations, performed by individual artists, many of who deserve a chance to play onstage, at least in Zagreb.


Inače, čekajući vlak, a i vozeći se podzemnom željeznicom, naslušali smo se dobre glazbe koju su izvodili individualni glazbenici na stanicama i u vagonima, od kojih su mnogi zaslužili scenski nastup, barem u Zagrebu.


The first adult with the cochlear implant I ever met was Ken.


Prva odrasla osoba s kohlearnim implantatom koju sam upoznao je Ken.


The way we met was a coincidence like many other events connected to Ana's story.


Put do njega je koincidencija nalik na druge zgode koje su pratile priču o Ani.


While Suzana was staying at Debbie's (Professor Hecht's) place, Darby, a deaf actor who wanted to become a professional actor, paid a visit.


Dok je Suzana stanovala kod Debbie, kako smo je zvali, profesoricu Hecht je potražio Darby, gluhi glumac koji je želio započeti profesionalnu glumačku karijeru.


By meeting Darby, whose mother was an eminent university professor and also deaf, Suzana was introduced to the circle of hearing-impaired intellectuals.


Upoznavši Darbyja, čija je majka poznata sveučilišna profesorica također gluha, Suzana je počela upoznavati svijet gluhih intelektualaca.


Darby introduced Suzana to Ken, the cochlear implantation coordinator at the Lenox Hill Hospital.


Darby je upoznao Suzanu s Kenom, koordinatorom za kohlearnu implantaciju pri Lenox Hill Hospital.


Ken is a person with a deep knowledge of the hearing-impaired community and thus gave us several addresses of parents of children with cochlear implants and made it easier for us to contact them.


Ken je osoba s velikim poznavanjem zajednice gluhih te nam je pribavio više adresa roditelja djece s kohlearnim implantatom, a i preko njega smo s njima uspostavili lakši kontakt.


Ken, an exceptionally kind and witty man, full of vitality, highly educated and cultivated, was operated on in his late forties.


Ken, neobično duhovit i drag čovjek, pun životnog veselja, iznimne kulture i obrazovanja, operiran je tek u svojim četrdesetim godinama.


According to him, his speech did not improve significantly, but his hearing ability became much better.


Govor mu se, prema njegovim riječima, nije bitno promijenio, ali čujnost je bitno bolja.


At first, I did not know what this meant.


Prvi čas nisam znao da je o tome riječ.


I only knew that he was deaf.


Znao sam samo da je gluh.


My wife told me not to cover up my mouth with my hand when I speak, because he still had a habit of lip-reading.


Supruga me je upozorila da ne sakrivam usta rukama dok govorim, naime on se i dalje služio navikom čitanja s usta.


Ken fascinated me although the performance of his speech processor and implant was not very impressive.


S Kenom sam bio impresioniran iako me ono što sam očitavao kao učinak njegovog procesora govora i implantata nije oduševio.


In fact, I did not think it made any difference.


Dapače, nije mi se činio nečim jako značajnim.


It was a disappointment.


To me razočaralo.


I expected him to speak better and I expected the differences between his speaking and mine to be much less pronounced.


Naime očekivao sam u govoru više, očekivao sam da se razlike u kvaliteti govora, mojeg i njegovog, neće toliko razlikovati.


However, I disregarded the fact that Ken was operated very late in life.


No, smetnuo sam s uma kasnu Kenovu operaciju.


In the end, he himself explained this.


Konačno to nam je kasnije i sam objasnio.


Meeting Ken also lead to the discovery of Katz, a great Jewish snack bar which is one of New York's culinary legends.


Susret s Kenom je i otkriće Katza, sjajne židovske zalogajnice koja je kulinarska znamenitost New Yorka.


It had been visited by American presidents, as well as movie, music and sport celebrities, gourmands, tourists and people from the neighborhood.


Nju su pohodili i američki predsjednici i filmske, pjevačke i sportske zvijezde, gurmani, turisti i susjedi, a s Kenom i mi.


We also visited it with Ken.


Katz, jednostavan i jeftin restoran, bio je odmah iza ugla na kraju naše ulice.


We still exchange letters with Ken, who is sincerely thrilled by Ana's progress.


S Kenom se i danas dopisujemo, a Anin napredak ga iskreno veseli.


In America, all doors are open if you are willing to make the effort to find the way that leads to them.


U Americi su sva vrata otvorena, ako se potrudite do njih naći put.


Everyone will make time to talk to you, unlike our experiences in Croatia, and the result depends on many things, but chiefly on you and your presentation.


Svi će vas primiti na razgovor, za razliku od onoga što smo naučili u Hrvatskoj, a rezultat ovisi o mnogim činiocima, ali najviše o vama i vašoj prezentaciji.


Our acquaintance Victor, a Professor at New York University, recommended that we take Ana to a doctor who was a friend of a friend of his.


Naš znanac Victor, profesor na New York University, preporučio nam je da s Anom odemo do liječnika koji je znanac njegovog znanca.


He even sent him a short letter asking him to see the parents of a hearing-impaired Croatian child, whose mother was studying in America.


Poslao mu je i kratko pismo sa zamolbom da primi roditelje jednog gluhog djeteta iz Hrvatske, čija je majka na stipendiji u Americi.


To my surprise, the doctor turned out to be Dr. Noel Cohen, the dean of the School of Medicine, the head of the ORL Department at the New York University Medical Center and one of the most eminent experts in the field.


Začudo, to je bio upravo prof. dr. Noel Cohen, dekan Medicinskog fakulteta i šef otorinolaringologije na New York University Medical Center i jedan od najpoznatijih svjetskih stručnjaka na tom području.


We immediately received a call from his office and made an appointment.


Odmah su nas nazvali iz njegovog ureda i zakazali sastanak.


We did not know what we could expect and had no clear idea of what we actually wanted to hear.


Nismo znali što možemo očekivati i nismo imali jasnu predodžbu što želimo čuti.


We prepared for the conversation, but we wondered if we would be able to ask the right questions.


Pripremali smo se za razgovor, ali pitanje je hoćemo li znati postaviti prava pitanja.


We decided to let the conversation take its own course.


Odlučili smo prepustiti se tijeku razgovora, pa što bude.


Suzana translated Ana's medical records into English and we went to Dr. Cohen to have him examine Ana and teach us about the cochlear implant, its perspectives and development.


Suzana prevodi na Engleski Anine medicinske nalaze, a dr. Cohenu smo se uputili da Anu pregleda, a nas pouči o kohlearnom implantatu, perspektivama i razvoju.


Dr. Cohen saw us in early October.


Dr. Cohen nas je primio početkom listopada.


He is a kind of person who radiates kindness and confidence and gives you his sincere, undivided attention during conversation.


Iz njega zrači dobrota, odiše povjerenjem, a u razgovoru vam poklanja punu iskrenu pažnju.


His approach to patients reminded me of my father.


Svojim me je pristupom pacijentu podsjetio na mog oca.


After he and his assistants examined Ana and reviewed the medical records, he confirmed that Ana was a candidate for cochlear implantation.


Nakon pretraga njegovih asistenata i njega osobno, te pregleda medicinske dokumentacije potvrdio nam je da je Ana kandidat za kohlearnu implantaciju.


His recommendation was summarized in one line: "If you go ahead with the operation, there is nothing to lose, only so much to gain".


Svoju je preporuku sažeo u rečenicu: "Nema se što izgubiti, s operacijom se može samo dobiti".


He said he was willing to operate on Ana.


Iskazao je spremnost da operira Anu.


We only came for a checkup and advice, but at that point, fascinating possibilities that we had not even dreamed of began to unfold.


Došli smo na pregled i po savjet, a otvorile su se fantastične mogućnosti na koje nismo ni računali.


When he realized how little time in America we had and how little money was available to us, he said that everything would be fine and that he would put Ana on the top of his waiting list.


Kada je čuo s koliko malo vremena i novaca u Americi raspolažemo ustvrdio je da će sve biti u redu, a Anu će staviti na sam vrh svoje liste.


He advised us to contact our life and health insurance company about the expenses for surgery and said that he would do something for us too.


Savjetovao nas je da se za troškove operacije obratimo tvrtci preko koje imamo životno i zdravstveno osiguranje, a i on će sa svoje strane nešto učiniti.


We paid $250 for the first visit, while at subsequent visits, Dr. Cohen would follow us to the receptionist and gave a discreet sign not to charge anything for the checkup.


Prvi smo pregled platili 250 $, a kod narednih bi dr. Cohen došao za nama u kancelariju i diskretno dao znak da se ništa ne naplaćuje.


As a Fulbright scholar, my wife had temporary American life and health insurance and we, as family members, could also use it with reasonable participation in costs.


Supruga je kao Fulbrightov stipendist imala privremeno američko životno i zdravstveno osiguranje, a mi smo ga, kao članovi obitelji, uz prihvatljivu naknadu mogli koristiti.


However, the insurance company was not willing to promptly respond to ours and Dr. Cohen's inquiries about the conditions for surgery.


No, oni nisu bili voljni spremno odgovoriti na naše upite i upite dr. Cohena o uvjetima za Aninu operaciju.


However, to be truthful, they eventually contributed to the realization of surgery by covering part of the medical expenses.


Istini za volju, na kraju su i oni, s pokrićem dijela bolničkih troškova pridonijeli operaciji.


While we were thinking about the ways to get the money for the operation and the short time we had left in America, Dr. Cohen generously used his reputation to help us.


Dok smo mi razmišljali o izvoru novca za operaciju i kratkom vremenu koje nam u Americi preostaje, dr. Cohen je nesebično koristio svoj ugled da nam pomogne.


It was only later that we found out that the surgery and the cochlear implant cost about $54,000, an amount beyond our reach.


Tek smo kasnije saznali da sama operacija i kohlearni implantat s procesorom govora koštaju 54.000 $ što nam je bilo nedostižno.


Eventually, he made Ana's surgery possible by his great efforts and a significant donation on his part.


Na posljetku, Anina je operacija omogućena njegovim zalaganjem i velikom osobnom donacijom.


His secretaries, Carol and Ariel, were also very helpful, in word and in deed, and made our coping with the hospital's administrative systems easier.


Veliku smo pomoć imali i od njegovih tajnica, Carol i Ariel, koje su nam savjetom i djelom olakšavale probijanje kroz sustave bolničke administracije.


They always had a kind word for Ana, and occasionally even a doll.


Uvijek bi našle za Anu lijepu riječ, a i pokoju lutku.


Thus began the most beautiful days of our lives.


Počeo je najljepši dio našeg života.


The autumn in New York was magnificent.


Jesen u New Yorku je bila prekrasna.


My wife worked hard on her postgraduate acting curriculum at New York University.


Supruga je intenzivno radila na svom programu u okviru poslijediplomskog studija glume na New York University.


She was virtually away all day.


Praktički nije je bilo cijeli dan.


She would leave at 9 a.m. and return home at 7 p.m., unless she went to the theatre.


Ujutro u 9 sati bi otišla i vraćala se navečer u 19, ukoliko poslije ne bi otišla u kazalište.


I was working on my technical book and got close to my own child, which I never had a chance to do in Zagreb.


Ja sam pisao stručnu knjigu i zbližio se s vlastitim djetetom što u Zagrebu nisam imao prilike.


Spending almost 24 hours a day with a child, during which I was on my own, without my wife, for at least 20 hours was a great lesson.


Biti praktički 24 sata s djetetom, a od toga bar 10 sati sam bez supruge, velika je škola.


With Ana's afternoon naps and nights spent working, I had plenty of time to write.


Uz Anin popodnevni san i noćni rad imao sam dosta vremena za pisanje.


My daughter is a very, very tough and stubborn child and sometimes she is impossible to discipline (with the experience in child-raising that I had).


Ona je jako, jako živa i tvrdoglava, i koji puta je nemoguće izaći s njom na kraj (s mojim iskustvom).


Since she learned how to get out of her cot, we could no longer put her to sleep and go to another room.


Otkrila je kako može izaći iz kinderbeta, pa je više ne možemo samo ostaviti spavati i otići u drugu sobu.


She would climb out a dozen times, wander around and only when she became exhausted after being repeatedly put her back into bed, stay there and fall asleep in a minute.


Po desetak puta izađe van, švrlja okolo i tek savladana umorom, nakon našeg upornog vraćanja, ostaje u krevetu i brzo zaspi.


We never gave in to her clandestine and cunning attempts to sneak into our bed and she graciously went back to hers.


Njene tihe i lukave pokušaje da se noću uvuče u naš krevet otklanjamo te se disciplinirano vraća natrag.


I spent a lot of time with Ana in the parks and walking around Manhattan.


S Anom provodim mnogo vremena u parku i šetnjama po Manhattanu.


We did it every day.


Svaki dan.


The parks are full of greenery, friendly squirrels, and are wonderfully arranged and maintained, with rubber pads beneath seesaws, jungle gyms and toboggans.


Parkovi prepuni zelenila, druželjubivih vjeverica, sjajno su uređeni i održavani, s gumenim oblogama na podu podno ljuljački, penjalica i tobogana.


Sometimes, if we were lucky, my wife would also join us in the park.


Koji puta imamo sreće i mama nađe vremena za zajednički odlazak u park.


We usually went to St. Marks Place Park near 15th Street and 2nd Avenue.


Obično odlazimo u park St. Marks Place kod 15. ulice i 2. avenije.


It has a special, secluded area where only children and the people accompanying them are allowed, so there are no people who could disturb the children's playing or your peace.


Ulaz u posebno ograđeno područje je dozvoljen samo djeci i njihovoj pratnji tako da nema ljudi koji bi mogli omesti dječju igru ili narušiti vaš mir i spokoj.


In other parts of the park, the homeless sit quietly in the sun, picturesque with their entire possessions in bundles or shopping carts.


U ostalim dijelovima parka mirno su se sunčali beskućnici, slikoviti sa cjelokupnom imovinom u zavežljajima ili dućanskim kolicima.


Usually, there was a trailer parked nearby, where they could get free coffee or warm soup, but there was also a police car.


U blizini je obično parkirana kamp prikolica u kojoj se besplatno dijeli kava i topla juha, ali i policijski automobil.


The circumstances forced me to improve my, until then, modest cooking skills.


Silom (ne)prilika, dotada nevješt, pomalo sam kuhao za nas dvoje odnosno troje.


I used to go to the nearby market place where the food was much cheaper.


Odlazio sam na obližnju tržnicu gdje su namirnice mnogo jeftinije.


Turkey drumsticks, the size of a small ham with roasted potatoes and pasta in a (overspiced) champignon sauce became my specialty, while crispy bacon baked in the microwave was a delicious treat.


Pureći batki veliki poput omanje šunke i pečeni krumpir te rezanci u umaku od šampinjona (s pretjeranom uporabom mirodija) postali su moja specijalnost, a u mikrovalnoj pećnici pečena hruskava slanina - poslastica.


One of my responsibilities was doing the laundry, which proved to be a mistake.


Moja je zadaća i pranje rublja što će se kasnije pokazati lošim izborom.


I would go to a supermarket and got lost in the vast quantity of products. However, I later became something of a shopping expert.


Odlazio bih u supermarket gdje sam se u početku u množini artikala gubio, ali uskoro sam postao stručnjak za kupovinu.


Like all American housewives, I watched the morning TV shows as I cooked, particularly heated debates on the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.


Poput pravih američkih domaćica za vrijeme kuhanja sam pratio jutarnje televizijske programe, a posebice žustre senatske debate za smjenu i u obranu Billa Clintona.


To be truthful, my wife often prepared the lunch before she left in the morning, and I only had to warm it up or finish it at noon.


Istini za volju često je prije svog jutarnjeg odlaska supruga pripravila ručak koji je trebalo ili prigrijati, ili mu dati završni oblik.


Family life was certainly good for Ana, but we wanted her to socialize and to have contact with her peers.


Obiteljski život zasigurno je Ani godio, ali mi smo željeli da se socijalizira. Željeli smo da bude u kontaktu s djecom svoga uzrasta.


Therefore, she attended the Manhattan Children's Club, i.e. a kindergarten, twice a week, where she fitted in very well.


Stoga je Ana dva puta tjedno pohodila Manhattan Childrens Club-u tj. dječji vrtić, gdje se vrlo dobro snašla.


She immediately developed a sense of discipline necessary for being in the kindergarten and was no different from other children.


Odmah je usvojila disciplinu koja je nužna za život u vrtiću i nije se razlikovala od druge djece.


At the kindergarten, Ana's deafness was accepted as an ordinary fact and we were surprised that they did not ask any questions or set any limits to her stay.


U vrtiću su Aninu gluhoću prihvatili kao nešto sasvim uobičajeno te nas je iznenadilo da nisu postavljali nikakva pitanja niti ograničenja za njen boravak.


Ana's staying at the kindergarten gave me some free time to wander around New York.


Njenim odlascima u vrtić i ja sam dobio nešto slobodnog vremena za lutanja New Yorkom.


In early November, Ana stopped attending the kindergarten, due to the American viruses that she had no immunity to and which constantly attacked her system, as well as the high expenses.


Početkom studenoga Ana je prestala ići u vrtić, što zbog izbjegavanja američkih virusa na koje je nenavikla i koji su je stalno napadali, a i zbog visokih troškova.


In the kindergarten's tradition, she left a print of her hand on the wall there.


U vrtiću je prema njihovoj tradiciji, kao znak svoje prisutnosti, ostavila na zidu obojeni otisak svoje ruke.


In the evening, after she came from the kindergarten or directly from home, Ana and I would go to meet her Mum at the faculty.


Navečer bi, ili poslije vrtića, ili od kuće, Ana i ja otišli pred mamu na fakultet.


After having a cup of coffee in one of the cafes, we would walk along Broadway through Soho to our neighborhood in the Lower East Side.


Poslije kave u nekom od kafića šetnjom bi se preko Broadwaya kroz Soho vratili kući u našu četvrt Lower East Side.


We carried Ana in a very practical back carrier, a smart investment of 70$.


Anu smo nosili u praktičnoj leđnoj nosiljci, korisnoj investiciji od 70 $.


It was a fortunate thing that I did not bring the pram from Croatia, which would only interfere with free movement on the subway with its many staircases.


Sva je sreća da nisam nosio kolica iz Hrvatske koja bi nam samo otežavala kretanje podzemnom željeznicom uz koju su vezane mnogobrojne stepenice.


In the evening, she used to watch the crowds of people go by with great interest.


Sa zanimanjem je pratila vrevu ljudi u predvečerju.


On our way home, we would sometimes visit a store with a good discount.


Uz put skočili bi i do kojeg dućana s povoljnom rasprodajom.


She loved it, and sometimes she would fall asleep during shopping.


Uživala je, a ponekad i zaspala.


We often treated ourselves to a delivered Chinese dinner, which was both cheap and delicious.


Za večeru bi se znali počastiti brzo dostavljenom hranom iz kineskog restorana, što je bio najjeftiniji, a i vrlo ukusan način prehrane.


For 15$ we got so much food that there were leftovers for my lunch the next day.


Za 15 $ bilo je toliko hrane da mi je dio ostao još i za sutrašnji ručak.


The only problem was communicating with the people at the restaurant; their English was bad and we sometimes got food we did not order.


Jedini je problem što se s njima dosta teško sporazumijevalo, naime, slabo su govorili Engleski te bi ponekad dobili i nešto što nismo naručili.


On Saturdays and Sundays, we socialized with teachers from the University, colleagues from the theatre and parents of children with implants.


Subota i nedjelja su dani druženja s nastavnicima s fakulteta i kolegama iz teatra te s roditeljima djece s implantatom.


A small and successful colony of my former students often visited us in the evening.


Mala i uspješna hrvatska kolonija mojih bivših studenata nam je često navečer dolazila u posjet.


There would be wine from Peljesac and we would also make dinner for our friends.


Našlo bi se i crnog pelješkog vina. Priredili bi i večeru za prijatelje.


On Sundays, we sometimes went to the German Evangelic Church, where both Ana and I felt comfortable, and then to Central Park.


Nedjeljom bi znali otići u Njemačku evangeličku crkvu, meni i Ani srodnu, a potom u Central Park.


Going to the theatre in the evening also meant that we had to hire a babysitter, namely a student from Suzana's faculty, who was happy to provide the service with minimum charge.


Večernji odlasci u kazalište vezani su uz angažiranje babysiterice što je rado i povoljno obavljala studentica sa Suzanina fakulteta.


Ana did not mind the replacement.


Tu je zamjenu Ana bez problema prihvatila.


Instead of going to the movies, we rented films in a nearby video rent every day and under more favorable conditions than in Zagreb.


Odlaske u kino kompenziramo s filmovima koje dnevno uzimamo u obližnjoj videoteci pod povoljnijim uvjetima nego u Zagrebu.


We created an at-home atmosphere of a movie premiere by popcorn prepared in the microwave.


Ugođaj filmskih premijera postizali smo uz pomoć mikrovalne pećnice u kojoj smo si pripravljali svježe kokice.


It was not easy to decide between the 600 movies from the American movie industry which are released every year.


U množini naslova koji redovito pridolaze iz američke filmske produkcije od preko 600 filmova godišnje nije se lako snaći.


We saw many famous stars in second-rate movies.


Koliko li smo samo poznatih glumaca vidjeli u lošim filmovima.


The lack of subtitles forced us to watch more attentively.


Odsustvo pisanog i prevedenog dijaloga upućuje nas na pažljivije gledanje filma.


We saw a number of eminent actors playing substandard roles.


Uočavamo mnogo poznatih glumaca u lošim izdanjima.


Although we did not have a satellite or cable TV, the dozen TV channels we could watch on our TV were enough to keep us both informed and entertained.


Desetak televizijskih kanala koje smo hvatali na našem televizoru bez satelita i kablovske televizije bili su nam dostatni za kvalitetnu informaciju i dobru zabavu.


Ana also started to show interest in television and proved to have good taste by choosing The Simpson's as her favorite.


Tu se i Ana počinje zanimati za televizijski program te iskazuje probirljiv ukus gledajući Simpsone, crtić za odrasle.


We met Lisa and Danny, about whom I will write more later on.


Upoznali smo Lisu i Dannyja, o kojima će kasnije biti više riječi.


We shared in the love of Italian cuisine and exchanged our experiences of good and cheap restaurants.


U zajedničkoj sklonosti talijanskoj kuhinji izmjenjujemo iskustva o dobrim i pristupačnim restoranima.


Thus we found an inexpensive and excellent Italian restaurant near their apartment, run by friendly Albanians from Kosovo.


Tako smo u blizini njihovog stana našli za nas prihvatljiv i odličan talijanski restoran koji su držali simpatični Albanci s Kosova.


The Italian restaurants we frequented in Little Italy were run by Latin Americans whose attempts to speak with Italian accents were less then convincing.


Naime, talijanske restorane u koje smo odlazili u četvrti Mala Italija držali su Latinoamerikanci s komičnim pokušajima talijanskog izgovora.


We also visited pizzerias, Chinese and student snack bars and fast food restaurants.


Odlazimo i u pizzerije, kineske zalogajnice, studentske zalogajnice, ali i fast food restorane.


Children are welcome in all bars and restaurants and they are given pastel crayons and drawing paper before you order, which gives the parents the space to eat and talk and engages the children in a creative activity that does not disturb other guests.


Djeca su svugdje dobrodošla u lokalima i restoranima i prva je stvar prije narudžbe da im se daju pastelne bojice i papir za crtanje. To ostavlja roditeljima vremena za razgovor i jelo, djeci pruža kreativnu zabavu kojim ne ometaju druge goste.


However, we sometimes let Ana crawl under the tables like the other American parents did.


Doduše znali smo Anu pustiti da puže ispod stolova kao što su to radili i drugi američki roditelji.


It was nice to eat in restaurants where there were barely any smokers, and those who did were isolated in one corner.


Ugodno je ići u restorane gdje se pušaći mogu tek jedva uočiti, a i izolirani su u svojim kutovima.


We enjoyed the smoke-free restaurants and cafes, not just because of Ana.


Restorani i kafići bez duhanskog dima su nam godili i to ne samo zbog Ane.


Even before she was born, we were disciplined enough to quit smoking, after years of being passionate smokers.


Već smo prije njenog rođenja, a nakon dugog pušačkog staža, disciplinirano prestali pušiti.


It proved to be a great advantage in America, because you practically commit yourself to isolation if you want to smoke.


To je u Americi olakšanje jer ste praktički izolirani u nastojanjima da zapalite cigaretu.


Even when you have guests, those who smoke step outside onto the street to indulge their habit.


Pa kada vam i dolaze gosti, oni koji puše, izlaze povremeno iz vašeg stana na ulicu da bi utažili svoju naviku.


We saw people like that everywhere.


Na te smo ljude nailazili posvuda.


Dressed in thin coats and light clothing, they would leave their offices to smoke, standing near the back entrance of a skyscraper and shivering with cold.


U tankim kaputima i odjeći izlazili bi iz svojih kancelarija i u podnožju svojih nebodera kod stražnjeg izlaza drhtali su na zimi i pušili.


It was particularly interesting to see the Wall Street brokers and businesswomen who, because of their light clothes, looked as if they were pursuing another kind of profession.


Posebno su zanimljivi bili brokeri na Wall Streatu, a i poslovne žene koje vam se, lagano obučene, čine da se bave nečim drugim.


In fact, the only reason that kept them out in the cold, in front of the business buildings, was their smoking vice.


Zapravo, one tu stoje na hladnoći, pred vratima poslovnih zgrada, samo zbog poroka duhanskog dima.


For Halloween, the night before All Saints' Day, we were invited to spend our holidays in Fulton, a remote province of the State of New York, at the home of Suzana's NYU teacher and actress Debbie, and Boris who was also an actor. They were both dear friends.


Za Hallowe'en, "noć vještica" tj. noć uoči blagdana Svih svetih pozvani smo na odmor u Fulton, u dalekoj provinciji države New York, kod Suzanine nastavnice s NYU i glumice Debbie i Borisa, također glumca, dragih prijatelja.


The train journey along the Hudson River was a beautiful experience and so was the car ride to the small village with only a handful of houses.


Lijepo je putovati vlakom uz Hudson River, a zatim automobilom do malog mjesta od desetak kuća.


Boris's family home was actually a church that his father had rebuilt into a house.


Borisova roditeljska kuća je zapravo crkva koju je njegov otac pretvorio u njihov dom.


We decorated the front porch with the traditional carved pumpkins with candles and Ana also got a small one especially for her.


Ukrasili smo trijem tradicionalno izrezbarenim bundevama s umetnutom svijećom, a i Ana je dobila jednu malu.


Here, in small a village, we began to discover how close the people in parishes were.


Tu, u malim mjestima, počinjemo otkrivati prisnost ljudi u crkvenim općinama.


The only church in Fulton, which felt familiar to me, was a Methodist church.


U Fultonu, jedina i meni bliska crkva je metodistička.


It was there that I sought and found peace.


Na tom sam mjestu tražio i nalazio mir.


The people were curious about what a Croat was doing in a remote rural area, they showed genuine interest in my country and the war that we went through, and their prayers for peace and joy lifted my spirits.


Njih je zanimalo što jedan Hrvat radi u dalekoj provinciji, iskreno su se zanimali za zemlju iz koje dolazim, za rat iz kojega smo izašli, a njihove su molitve za mir i sreću krijepile dušu.


However, we kept Ana's health problems to ourselves.


Svoje smo probleme oko Ane zadržavali za sebe.


We had a similar experience in Marple Head, Massachusetts, but also at our Evangelic Church in New York, where waited until after the surgery to share our story.


Isto smo kasnije doživjeli u Marple Headu, Massachusetts, ali i u našoj Njemačkoj evangeličkoj crkvi u New Yorku, gdje smo im tek poslije operacije rekli o čemu se radi.


We knew that the operation was the beginning of a long journey, the journey of learning how to speak and listen.


Znali smo da je operacija tek početak jednog dugačkog puta, puta učenja slušanja i govora.


It was not just something Ana had to do, but us as well.


To se učenje nije odnosilo samo na Anu već i na nas.


We had to gain experience, meet the parents and children, hear the opinions of rehabilitation specialists on what would be the most important thing for Ana's post-operative progress.


Trebalo je steći iskustva, upoznati roditelje i djecu, čuti mišljenje i stručnjaka za rehabilitaciju, što će nakon samog čina operacije biti najvažnije za Anin razvoj.


Also, we did not want to waste our time in America by missing out on some quality rehabilitation for Ana.


Isto tako nismo željeli vrijeme u Americi ostaviti bez kvalitetnog rada na Aninoj rehabilitaciji.


My wife established an extensive network of telephone contacts across America and contacted the John Tracy Clinic, a Los Angeles-based institution founded by the actor Spencer Tracy whose son was deaf.


Supruga je razapela široku mrežu telefonskih kontakata po Americi i uspostavila vezu s John Tracy Clinic, ustanovom iz Los Angelesa, koju je utemeljio glumac Spencer Tracy poučen primjerom svog gluhog sina.


We made use of their correspondence courses and later we used videotapes.


U radu s Anom koristili smo njihove dopisne tečajeve, a kasnije i videovrpce.


We met many parents of children with cochlear implants, as well as many American experts on rehabilitation, and they all supported out endeavors to make the surgery possible.


Upoznali smo više roditelja djece s implantatom, više američkih stručnjaka s područja rehabilitacije i oni su nam davali podršku u našim nastojanjima da omogućimo našem djetetu operaciju.


We were also faced with a strict and rigid attitude of the deaf community opposing the implantation.


Upoznati smo i s oštrim i nepomirljivo krutim stavom organizirane zajednice gluhih koja je protiv implantacije.


We bought professional books and video-courses from Canada, which is a country renowned for excellent rehabilitation methods.


Nabavljali smo stručne knjige, tečajeve s videovrpcama iz Kanade koja je poznata po vrsnosti rehabilitacije.


We ordered two books on rehabilitation methods for younger and older children with cochlear implants.


Od tamo smo naručili dvije knjige o metodama rada s manjom i većom djecom s kohlearnim implantatom.


We also ordered a rehabilitation video-manual.


Uz knjige smo naručili i videokasetu s priručnikom za rad na rehabilitaciji.


We had several telephone conversations with the author of these books.


Više smo puta telefonski razgovarali s piscem tih knjiga, prof. Warrenom Estabrooksom iz Kanade.


He was surprised that we ordered both books, for younger and for older children, and tried to talk us out of it.


On se je začudio našoj narudžbi obje knjige, i za mlađe i za starije, i odgovarao nas je od toga.


We explained that it was easier to order both books now and, after all, there were people in Zagreb who could certainly use them.


Objasnili smo mu da nam je jednostavnije sada naručiti obje, a konačno i u Zagrebu će nekome to dobro doći.


We were not used to such a caring approach.


Nismo navikli na takvu pažnju i odnos.


We later found out that he was an expert of great importance and reputation.


Kasnije smo saznali da se radi o stručnjaku iznimnog značaja i ugleda.


My wife made telephone contact with Toby and Jim, the parents of little Julia, whose address we got from Ken.


Supruga je uspostavila telefonski kontakt s Toby i Jimom, roditeljima male Julie, čiju smo adresu dobili od Kena.


They kindly invited us to meet them.


Oni su spremno prihvatili našu želju da ih upoznamo.


Dr. Cohen also operated on their daughter.


I njihovu je kćer operirao bio dr. Cohen.


They lived outside New York and one Sunday Jim came to pick us up with his car.


Živjeli su izvan New Yorka i jednog je nedjeljnog jutra Jim došao autom po nas.


After we arrived to their home, we found out that the family was celebrating a birthday and we were invited to the family lunch.


Po dolasku smo ustanovili da je rođendan u obitelji i pozvani smo na obiteljski ručak.


It was a great joy to meet Toby, Jim and five-year old Julia, who gave us the best insight into life with a cochlear implant, and also offered us their friendship.


Sreća je bila upoznati Toby, Jima i petogodišnju Juliju koji su nam dali najviše uvida u život s kohlearnim implantatom, ali dali su nam i svoje prijateljstvo.


The very fist time we met, they offered to let us stay with them, in case there were any complications and we had to prolong our stay in America.


Već prigodom prvog susreta su nam ponudili svoje gostoprimstvo, ukoliko se s realizacijom operacije nešto zakomplicira te moramo ostati duže u Americi.


Thus we began to realize how open and how ready to help someone in need the Americans were.


Tu počinjemo spoznavati američku otvorenost i spremnost pomoći drugima u nevolji.


Seeing and hearing Julia was a great discovery for us.


Vidjeti i čuti Juliju bilo je za nas otkriće.


Her speech ability was fascinating and she had an encyclopedic knowledge of American history, particularly the presidents.


Njen govor nas je fascinirao, a živa zainteresiranost za američku povijest, posebice američke predsjednike za nas je bila enciklopedijska.


It was particularly interesting to listen to her when her processor was off.


Posebice je bilo zanimljivo slušati je kada je procesor bio isključen.


The only difference was a little softer pronunciation.


Tek nešto mekši izgovor. U školi koju je počela pohađati su odmah zamijenili sve tepihe sa sintetikom i postavili one od prirodnih materijala.


When she started attending school, the school authorities immediately replaced all synthetic-fiber rugs with rugs made of natural materials since the synthetic fibers can generate static electricity, which can affect the performance of the speech processor.


Naime, sintetika proizvodi statički elektricitet, a on pak može naškoditi elektronici procesora govora.


During one late visit to Dr. Cohen, in the waiting room, we met Miranda, who had recently been operated on, and her parents Lisa and Danny.


U čekaonici dr. Cohena, kod jednog kasnijeg posjeta, upoznali smo nedavno operiranu djevojčicu Mirandu, mamu Lisu i tatu Dannyja.


Miranda was a little younger than Ana and her parents naturally understood the interest we expressed in their experience.


Miranda je nešto mlađa od Ane, a roditelji naravno shvaćaju naš interes za njihova iskustva.


We immediately bonded with them.


S njima smo trenutno uspostavili prisne prijateljske odnose.


They informed us of the list of surgery expenses and the cochlear implant, gave us important advice on the way to do business with the life and health insurance company and the hospital administration and shared their experience of the surgery itself and the post-operative care.


Uputili su nas u troškovnik operacije i kohlearnog implantata, davali dragocjene savjete o odnosima sa tvrtkom životnog i zdravstvenog osiguranja, bolničkim administracijama i naravno prenijeli svoja iskustva o samoj operaciji i postoperativnoj njezi.


During the time we lived near Lisa and Danny's home, Ana and Miranda often played together.


Kako smo stanovali u blizini Lise i Dannyja, Ana i Miranda su se mogle često igrati zajedno.


Lisa also offered to baby-sit Ana occasionally, so I could have a free afternoon to visit the library.


I Lisa je znala čuvati Anu tako da sam dobio i koje slobodno popodne za odlazak u biblioteku.


Living in an environment with lots of children, we noticed that Ana was among the very few who used a pacifier.


U okruženju s mnogo djece primijetili smo da je Ana praktički jedina koja koristi dudu – varalicu.


She kept it in her mouth all the times. At night we had to wait until she was fast asleep to take it from her without her noticing it.


Imala ju je ne neprekidno, a i po noći je trebalo da zapadne u dubok san kako bi joj neprimjetno uzeli dudu.


She wore them out pretty quickly, which was a major problem, because it was not easy to find pacifiers whose quality matched the quality of those we used to buy in Zagreb.


Brzo ih je trošila što je bio poseban problem jer u dućanima nismo nailazili na dude koje bi svojom kvalitetom odgovarale onima na koje je navikla i koje smo kupovali u Zagrebu.


American parents told us that their children barely used pacifiers and that it was not a competitive product.


Američki su nam roditelji rekli da njihova djeca praktički dudu nisu koristila te to nije kurentna roba.


It took us a long time, even a year after returning to Croatia, to get her to kick this bad habit.


Dugo nam je trebalo, čak godinu dana po povratku u Hrvatsku, da je odviknemo od te loše, a njoj drage potrebe i navike.


We struggled with low-grade oral infections and were worried about the jaw formation that could be affected by long-term frequent use.


Borili smo se s blagim infekcijama oko usta, a brinula nas je i formacija čeljusti zbog duge i stalne uporabe.


The parents of children with implants used to get together and organize meetings and subtitled cartoon shows for children.


Roditelji djece s implantatom susretali su se i organizirali sastanke i projekcije novih crtanih filmova za djecu koji su za tu prigodu posebno opremljeni pisanim dijalozima – titlovima.


We attended one of the shows with Lisa, Danny, Miranda, Jim, Toby and Julia. We also saw Ken and several other familiar faces.


Tamo smo otišli s Lisom, Dannyjem, Mirandom, Jimom, Tobby i Juliom, Naravno, sreli smo i Kena i još nekoliko već poznatih lica.


Before, during and after the screening, there was a reception with refreshments for both parents and children. Consequently, throughout screening there was a crowd of children wandering between the screening room and the luxurious lobby of the multiplex cinema on Lincoln Square, getting some Coca Cola, going to the bathroom or looking for their parents who were using this time to socialize with others.


Prije, za vrijeme i poslije projekcije trajao je prijam i zakuska za roditelje i djecu, tako da je cijelo vrijeme između dvorane i raskošnog predvorja multiplex kina na Lincoln Square-u stalno cirkulirala povorka djece različitog uzrasta, čas po Coca Colu, čas na WC, a čas tražeći roditelje koji su se zgodno družili.


This was an opportunity to see children with various degrees of hearing disability, with and without implants, those who were preparing to undergo surgery and those for whom surgery was not an option.


Tu smo imali prigodu vidjeti djecu s različitim stupnjevima gluhoće, s implantatom i bez, oni koji se pripremaju za operaciju ili oni za koje to nije.


There were cases of brothers and sisters, where one sibling was deaf and the other was not, or both were deaf, or one was deaf and the other was hard of hearing.


Bilo je kombinacije braće i sestara kod kojih je jedan gluh, a drugi nije, oba gluha, jedan gluh, a drugi gubi sluh.


It was a beautiful and inspiring thing to see, as was the opportunity meet and talk to their parents, hear about their experiences and feel their optimism and joy of life.


Krasno i poticajno je bilo vidjeti, upoznati se i razgovarati s njihovim roditeljima, čuti iskustva, ali i osjetiti optimizam i životnu radost.


There were also those parents with much greater problems than my wife and I had to face.


A bilo je roditelja s daleko težim problemima no što smo ih supruga i ja imali.


We started the rehabilitation at the League of the Hard of Hearing in New York.


Započeli smo i s rehabilitacijom u League of the Hard of Hearing u New Yorku.


Twice a week, we would visit Carol Zara, an excellent rehabilitation specialist, at the League in 23rd Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues.


Dva puta tjedno odlazili bi u 23. ulici, između pete i šeste avenije kod Carol Zare, njihove vrsne rehabilitatorice.


She even learned a few words of Croatian, but we thought her methods of work were more important and we did not insist on her using Croatian when working with Ana.


Ona je čak naučila nekoliko riječi na Hrvatskom, ali nama je najvažniji sam rad i metode te nismo insistirali da se njima koristi u radu s Anom.


We taped the sessions on video, in order to be able to work with Ana at home.


Vježbe su se održavale i prije i poslije operacije.


We liked the fact that everyone, children and rehabilitation specialists, sat on the floor, both in group and individual sessions.


Te smo satove snimali videokamerom kako bi kasnije sami mogli raditi.


We also liked the spacious and well-lit rooms equipped with a lot of toys, the nicely decorated waiting room for parents and children and the close relationship with the staff.


Dopalo nam se kako svi sjede na podu, i djeca i rehabilitatori, kod grupnog, a i kod individualnog rada, prostrani i svijetli prostori i mnoštvo igračaka, uređena čekaonica za djecu i roditelje i prisan odnos s osobljem.


Sometimes, we would watch sessions with other children.


Koji puta bi promatrali i rad s drugom djecom.


Knowing that we were from Croatia and were preparing for surgery, their social worker offered a symbolic price that we could afford, even without our asking.


Znajući da smo iz Hrvatske i nalazimo se pred operacijom njihov nam je socijalni radnik, i bez našeg upita i traženja, predložio simboličnu cijenu koju smo mogli platiti.


At the League, besides other parents, we met the mother of Miss Caitlin, who was the first child to get the cochlear implant about a decade ago.


U ligi smo, pored drugih roditelja, upoznali i majku gospođice Caitlin koja je pred desetak godina bila prvo dijete s kohlearnim implantatom.


We had just seen her story in a prime time TV documentary.


Upravo smo i na televiziji, u prestižnoj dokumentarnoj emisiji gledali priču o njoj.


Their life and her experience and progress helped to reinforce our decision to go ahead with the operation.


Njihov životni put i njena su nam iskustva i razvoj puno pomogli u prihvaćanju za nas već donesene odluke o operaciji.


It took time for our wishes and hopes to take a more defined shape.


Trebalo je vremena da želje i nade poprime konkretne oblike.


After the initial enthusiasm, our first doubts began to appear.


Poslije prvog ushita počele su dolaziti sumnje.


Time passed by without a definite answer to the question of how to actually purchase the device and to cover the expenses of the costly surgery.


Vrijeme je prolazilo bez nekih određenih odgovora na pitanje kako realizirati nabavku aparata i platiti skupu operaciju.


The family resources were not enough, and living in America was also expensive.


Obiteljski resursi nisu dovoljni, a i sam život u Americi zahtjeva svoje.


The Fulbright Scholarship provided for a decent living, but nothing more.


Doduše, Fulbrightova nam stipendija osigurava pristojan život, ali ništa više od toga.


In consultation with Dr. Cohen, we started our search for foundations and ways to get the cochlear implant at a favorable price.


Uz konzultaciju s dr. Cohenom započinjemo tragati za fondacijama i putevima povoljne nabavke kohlearnog implamntata.


With his personal and written support, we contacted the Cochlear Corporation, the American franchise of the Australian company Cochlear Limited.


U uz njegovu osobnu i pismenu podršku obraćamo se Cochlear Corporation, američkom predstavništvu australske tvrtke Cochlear Limited.


They produce a state-of-the-art speech processor and a cochlear implant Nucleus® 24 Cochlear Implant System which Dr. Cohen prefers.


Oni proizvode najsuvremeniji procesor govora i kohlearni implantat Nucleus® 24 Cochlear Implant System koji dr. Cohen preferira.


We contacted our life and health insurance company again.


Obraćamo se ponovo tvrtci preko koje imamo životno i zdravstveno osiguranje.


For two months before and one month after the surgery, my wife made several calls a day to our insurance company or our insurance agent.


Supruga je dva mjeseca prije operacije i mjesec dana nakon operacije, svaki dan po nekoliko puta, telefonom nazivala naše osiguranje ili našeg posrednika preko kojeg smo osigurani, i tražila načina da oni snose bar dio troškova.


Dr. Cohen also contacted them by mail.


Pismeno im se obraćao i dr. Cohen.


The social worker of the hospital contacted us privately and tried to help us raise money for the surgery.


Javio nam se, bez našeg traženja, socijalni radnik bolnice i on nam sa svoje strane nastoji pomoći u nalaženju sredstava za operaciju.


We had a friend in a high position at the Croatian consulate in New York who had experience with American hospitals and surgeries, but could not give us any information on the American foundations to which we could turn for help, nor could he indicate any alternative solutions.


Imali smo visokopozicioniranog prijatelja u hrvatskom konzulatu u New Yorku koji je imao iskustava s američkim bolnicama i operacijama, ali nije nam mogao dati nikakve informacije o američkim fondacijama kojima bi se mi obratili, niti nam je znao ukazati na moguće putove.


We decided to go to Washington and visit some institutions where we hoped to find help.


Odlučili smo krenuti u Washington do nekih institucija za koje smo se nadali da nam mogu pomoći.


Plus, we also had to find a way to prolong the three-month Fulbright Scholarship, which was to expire soon.


A trebalo je poraditi i na produženju tromjesečne Fulbrightove stipendije koja je uskoro i isticala.


Luckily, I have a dear childhood friend, Mila, who has been living and working in Washington for years.


Bila je sreća što u Washingtonu već više godina živi i radi Mila, moja draga prijateljica još iz djetinjstva.


She kindly invited us to stay with her.


Ona nas je srdačno pozvala u goste.


The cheapest way to get to Washington was to hire a car, with a university discount.


Najjeftiniji prijevoz do Washingtona bio je najam automobila uz koji je išao i neki sveučilišni popust.


Although I am usually a grouchy passenger, I was impressed by my wife's skillful driving around New York and on the highway to Washington and back.


Impresioniralo me je, kao suvozača gunđala, snalaženje moje supruge u vožnji New Yorkom te autoputovima do Washingtona (i natrag).


It was also the most interesting and pleasant trip we had in America, because we could stop anywhere we wanted or when Ana needed something.


To je ujedno najzanimljiviji i najugodniji put jer smo s Anom mogli stati kada nam se prohtjelo i kada je ona nešto trebala.


We saw a small part of America from the car, and when we got lost, walking into a small-town police station at night was a real adventure.


Vidjeli smo djelić Amerike iz automobila, a kada smo noću zalutali doživljaj je bio ući u provincijsku policijsku postaju.


We went sight-seeing in Washington, but we did not visit the White House, because, despite the constant rain, there was a line several hundreds of meters long at the entrance.


Turistički smo obilazili Washington, ali u Bijelu kuću nismo išli jer je unatoč kišnom vremenu red za ulazak bio dug par stotina metara.


We only used the opportunity to take some photos of ourselves in front of it.


Iskoristili smo prigodu samo za fotografiranje pred njom.


The Kennedy Center was one of the sights we did not miss and my wife used the opportunity to go to the theater while I babysat Ana.


Kennedy centar je bilo jedno od mjesta koje nismo propustili, a supruga je iskoristila vrijeme i za odlazak u kazalište. Anu sam naravno čuvao ja.


We did not feel as safe in Washington as we did in New York.


Onu sigurnost koju smo osjećali u New Yorku nismo imali u Washingtonu.


We were very cautious about the neighborhoods we visited and we mainly kept to well-frequented places.


Pazili smo u koju četvrt ulazimo, a uglavnom smo se držali reprezentativnih mjesta.


When I wanted to take Ana to a park, I went to a neighborhood of diplomatic residences.


S Anom sam u park išao u četvrt u kojoj je bilo više diplomatskih rezidencija.


Staying with Mila in her house in a beautiful residential area was like having a country vacation.


Kod Mile, u kući koju je imala u divnoj rezidencijalnoj četvrti, bilo nam je kao na ladanju.


Besides her hospitality, she gave us the best and the most useful advice in Washington.


Osim gostoprimstva ona nam je dala najbolje i najkorisnije savjete u Washingtonu.


She instructed us on ways to communicate with the institutions and she also asked Victor, whom I mentioned above, to help us.


Uputila nas je u načine komunikacije s institucijama, a zamolila je i već spominjanog Victora da nam pomogne.


Her daughter Lida also taught us a few things about America.


I od njene kćeri Lide smo naučili nešto o Americi.


Lida's talents won her a scholarship and admission to a prestigious high school attended by the children of the American social, i.e. political elite.


Lida je svojim sposobnostima zaslužila stipendiju i upis u elitnu srednju školu u koju polaze djeca američke društvene i političke elite.


She was proud to tell us that one of the new pupils was deaf and that her schoolmates learned Sign Language, without any outside pressure, to be able to communicate with her.


Ponosno nam je ispričala kako je u toj školi jedna od novih učenica gluha, te su svi đaci samoinicijativno počeli učiti znakovni jezik kako bi mogli s njom komunicirati.


This was one of many examples of social awareness we encountered, and our own experience is also a witness to this.


Na takve primjere socijalne svijesti smo često nailazili, a i vlastitim primjerom o tome možemo svjedočiti.


We visited the deaf people's associations, e.g. the Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf, as well as those of which the scope of activity was the rehabilitation and education of the deaf.


Obilazili smo institucije za gluhe, na pr. Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf i one koje se bave rehabilitacijom i edukacijom gluhih.


There was virtually no significant institution in America that we did not contact, whenever we found a new one, they would already know everything about Ana and us.


Nije praktički bilo značajnije institucije u Americi kojoj se nismo obratili, a čim bi neku novu nazvali već su znali za našu Anu i za nas.


They kindly received us and heard us out, gave advice, offered assistance within their limits, in the spirit of the saying: "To he who knocks it shall be opened".


Lijepo su nas primili ili saslušali, dali savjet, ponudili pomoć u okviru svojih mogućnosti, sukladno izreci: "Tko kuca otvorit će mu se".


To be truthful, we did not contact the associations of deaf people because of their rigid, declarative official standpoint that rejected the cochlear implant.


Doduše s asocijacijama i udruženjima gluhih nismo kontaktirali zbog njihovog krutog i deklarativnog službenog stava o odbijanju kohlearnog implantata.


We understood that they had developed their own language, a complex Sign Language, formed their culture and a strong and organized community in America, and received adequate financial support from the state, which would be unrealistic in Croatia.


Razumjeli smo da su oni u Americi razvili svoj jezik, složeni znakovni jezik, svoju kulturu, imali su snažnu i organiziranu zajednicu te primjerenu državnu potporu, kakvu mi ne možemo očekivati u Hrvatskoj.


After all, there are 2,000,000 of them.


Konačno ima ih oko 2.000.000.


After we returned to New York, we contacted Sarah through the AGB Association. She is a deaf young lady whose speech ability and education were fascinating.


Preko AGB Association smo po povratku u New York stupili u kontakt sa Sarah, gluhom gospođicom zavidnog govora i obrazovanja, s kojom smo i danas u kontaktu.


We still keep in touch with her. We wanted to meet successful and prosperous people who had found their place in society through their exceptional talents despite the handicap.


Željeli smo upoznati uspješne i prosperitetne osobe, osobe koje su se unatoč svom hendikepu nametnule u društvu svojim natprosječnim sposobnostima.


Her life story was an enlightening one.


Njena nam je životna priča bila vrlo poučna.


We learned how to communicate with the deaf, we became more disciplined with respect to the clarity of pronunciation and we were careful not to cover our mouths when speaking.


Učili smo se komunicirati s gluhima, disciplinirali smo se u izgovoru i jasnoći te pazili da ne zaklonimo usta pri govoru.


We no longer went through life by looking in just one direction.


Nismo više ravno gledajući prolazili kroz svijet.


We noticed the deaf everywhere, communicating by sign language, and this was something to which we had never paid particular attention before.


Svugdje smo zamjećivali gluhe u komunikaciji znakovnim jezikom, nešto o čemu prije nismo vodili računa niti obraćali pažnje.


They seemed to be, and indeed were, a rather self-contained community.


Činili su nam se, i bili, dosta zatvorenom zajednicom.


At that point, Ken contacted us and mentioned the possibility of a free surgery with the MED-EL cochlear implant system, which at the time was in the experimental stages at the Lenox Hill Hospital.


U to se vrijeme javio i Ken spomenuvši mogućnost besplatne operacije s MED-EL sustavom kohlearnog implantata, koji je u to vrijeme u Americi bio u eksperimentalnoj fazi na Lenox Hill Hospital.


However, this would require starting from scratch at another clinic and with another doctor; but our choice was Dr. Cohen.


Za to bi trebali početi praktički sve iz početka, na drugoj klinici, s drugim liječnikom. No, naš je izbor bio dr. Cohen.


Knowing that MED-EL has secure professional support in Zagreb, we tried to discuss this implant.


Znajući da u Zagrebu MED-EL ima osiguranu stručnu podršku mi smo pokušali razgovarati o tom implantatu.


However, despite the fact that Dr. Cohen was willing to make an exception in our case and use this implant, it was not a part of the privileged offer available from the Cochlear Company.


Međutim, to je unatoč voljnosti dr. Cohena da ga iznimno za nas primjeni, bilo izvan beneficirane ponude koju je moguće dobiti od tvrtke Cochlear.


This would take more time than we could spend in America.


Za to bi u Americi trebalo provesti mnogo više vremena nego što ga mi imamo na raspolaganju.


We were worried about the expert and technical support available in Zagreb, and we contacted Mr. Ronald E. West, the director of the franchise of Cochlear, Englewood, Colorado, the manufacturer of Nucleus®, through Dr. Cohen.


Zabrinuti za mogućnosti koje nam se u Zagrebu pružaju oko stručne i tehničke potpore, uz pomoć dr. Cohena smo bili u kontaktu s gosp. Ronald E. West-om, ravnateljem predstavništva tvrtke Cochlear, Englewood, Colorado, koja proizvodi Nucleus®.


He kindly referred us to Dr. Boris Pegan (with all telephone numbers and addresses) as the only doctor in Croatia who was familiar with their program and who could provide expert and program support that our child would need after the surgery.


On nas je vrlo ljubazno (sa svim telefonskim brojevima i adresama) uputio na dr. Borisa Pegana kao jedinog liječnika koji je u Hrvatskoj upoznat s njihovim programom i od kojega se može dobiti stručna i programska podrška koja je našem djetetu potrebna nakon operacije.


As far as our request about a favorable purchase of the cochlear implant and the speech processor was concerned, he suggested that we send a letter.


Što se tiče naše molbe za povoljnom nabavkom kohlearnog implantata i procesora govora, sugerira nam da se obratimo pismom.


In mid-November Ana got sick. We found out later that it was an ear infection.


Sredinom studenoga Ana se naravno razboljela, infekcija uha, što smo kasnije saznali.


She had a fever, but the pediatrician we were referred to failed to call us, despite having promised to do so.


Visoka temperatura, a liječnik - pedijatar na kojega smo upućeni se unatoč obećanja ne javlja.


His nurse claimed he would be in touch soon, but time went by without his call.


Njegova medicinska sestra tvrdi da će se javiti svaki čas, ali to se unedogled produžava.


Ana's temperature was rising.


Temperatura raste.


The next day, we still had no word from the doctor, and the nurse kept giving us vague answers.


Pošao je dan, dolazi drugi, liječnik se ne javlja, a medicinska sestra nas i dalje zavlači.


We did not know what to do.


Ne snalazimo se.


Finally, after raising my voice, I managed to get the answer: the doctor would not examine patients that he had not seen when they were healthy.


Tek nakon djelotvornog podizanja glasa zbog odugovlačenja dobivamo odgovor: liječnik ne prima bolesne osobe koje prije toga nije vidio zdrave.


We were advised to go to the emergency room of a nearby hospital.


Savjetuje nas da se obratimo hitnoj službi u obližnjoj bolnici.


At the emergency room, a kind female doctor gave Ana her full attention and excellent medical care.


Hitna služba u jednoj obližnjoj bolnici. Vrlo draga liječnica pruža Ani vrhunsku liječničku njegu i pažnju.


The diagnosis was infection of the auditory canal.


Infekcija slušnog kanala.


The outpatient treatment that we underwent at the same hospital, but under the care of another doctor, was a long process.


Liječenje, koje nastavljamo u ambulantama te bolnice kod druge liječnice, potrajalo je dugo.


We had to go for a number of checkups, because antibiotics are prescribed sparingly and only as the last resort.


Uslijedili su mnogi odlasci na preglede jer se antibiotici štedljivo izdaju, tek nakon što se iscrpe sve druge mogućnosti.


In addition, at the doctor's recommendation, Ana got an asthma inhalator.


Uz to, kao dodatnu preporuku liječnika Ana dobiva inhalator za astmu, postoji mala sumnja.


There was a slight suspicion of her having asthma.


Izgleda da je to američka fobija.


Even on the subway, we saw posters with health care authorities' warnings about this disease in infants.


Čak i u podzemnoj željeznici nalazimo plakate koji upozoravaju na tu bolest kod djece.


However, we believed that Ana was not asthmatic and, besides, the inhalators were too expensive so we (rightly) quit this treatment.


Mislimo da je to kod Ane suvišno, a inhalatori su nam preskupi te (s pravom) odustajemo od tog tretmana.


Consequently, we received astronomic bills that introduced us to the complex world of life and health insurance and the bill charging system.


Svemu tome slijede i visoki računi koji nas uvode u labirinte životnog i zdravstvenog osiguranja i službi za naplatu računa.


We got bills for the services of doctors we never saw, but who were allegedly consulted on Ana's treatment.


Stižu i računi za liječnike koje nismo niti vidjeli, a koji su navodno konzultativno bili uključeni u Anin tretman.


Naturally, we did not want to pay those bills without getting a proper explanation and we had a lengthy correspondence with the hospital administration.


To naravno ne želimo bez obrazloženja platiti i vodimo duge prepiske s bolničkom administracijom.


No sooner had we answered one letter from them, we got two more, as if we did not answer them at all.


Kako odgovorimo na jedno pismo stižu dva nova kao da uopće nismo pisali.


They called us on the phone.


Zovu telefonom.


Once we explained something to one officer, we would never hear from him again, but had to explain the whole thing again to another.


Kako nekome nešto objasnimo, taj se više ne javlja već komuniciramo s drugim.


Next, the agency specializing in bill collection contacted us.


Zatim se javlja agencija specijalizirana za naplatu računa.


We had duplicate correspondence and duplicate telephone conversations.


Vodimo dvostruku prepisku i dvostruke razgovore.


We forwarded all bills to our insurance company, which kept a low profile, and it was impossible to contact them directly.


Sve račune prosljeđujemo osiguranju koje se drži po strani, a s njima stupiti u direktni kontakt je nemoguće.


Luckily, we had Danny as our advisor, who had been through thick and thin to get his insurance company to cover the expenses of his daughter's cochlear implant.
