...what's the fuss about? Sepak takraw looks and scores like volleyball, except players use anything but their hands to get the ball over the net. If the ball hits the ground on the opponent's side, or if the return is hit out of bounds, a point is scored. There are three players per side, though variations exist. But the game's telegenic oomph (and there's plenty) comes from sustained volleys, deadly serves-the hard plastic ball reaches speeds up to 100 km/h-and the cartwheel spike, a power move of agility and aggression where a player backflips into...
...subtly give people the impression that they are understanding the characters speaking, not reading words on the screen." Trying to translate one language to another in the course of a film has challenges and limitations that apply to dubbing as well as subtitling - unlike literature which has the safety net of footnotes, film subtitlers have to make it work in the moment, all while trying to adapt wordplay and cultural references.

Like all drugs, each of its components carries the risk of side effects, and these have to be weighed against the potential benefits. For over-55s in excellent cardio health, the net benefit would be minimal. So another study will involve 600 subjects who doctors believe run a 7.5% to 15% risk of having a heart attack or stroke in the next five years, regardless of age. None of them will have cholesterol levels or blood pressure that would qualify them for treatment under current guidelines...
