Q: How would you solve this?Somebody got hurt very bad

Just got a call from a woman who replied my interpreting ad(yeah i do translations: chinese/italian mainly). But she doesn't need an interpreter but a lawyer apparently.

 

Her brother is in a jail (today is the 10th day) for assaulting a Chinese man on the higway. The Chinese first asked for his broken nose  100,000 RMB now he wants 80,000 to settle it.  Apparently the Italian guy refused to meet a lawyer  and the Chinese girlfriend of this italian advised him not to contact the embassy.

 

What do you think?

I'd be inclined to ask why she said not to get in contact with his embassy?

Does she know the bloke who her 'boyfriend' had a scrap with? Could this be s scam for compo and she will do a runner?

The very first thing anyone should do on being detained abroad is contact their consular services.

If he did contact the embassy they would tell him to engage a lawyer. They at least might be able to point him towards a somewhat decent lawyer, I don't think they'd be of much help aside from that though.

 

I doubt the lawyer would be able to do much other than help negotiate the compensation he will need to pay.

Even if nothing happens, always contact the embassy, otherwise the whole thing can disappear with no documents or proof of anything. It's a CYA (covery your ass) in case you disappear without a trace.

Stiggs:

Yep, CYA.

 

I think that when your embassy is involved, and everyone knows it, it's a good deterrent if people decide they want to f**k with you because they know the local law won't do anything.

 

Having the embassy at least know what is happening and who is involved could be what makes a corrupt police official decide it's not worth playing his usual games this time and just do it legally instead.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
