An alternative newspaper is a type of newspaper that eschews comprehensive coverage of general news in favour of stylized reporting, opinionated reviews and columns, investigations into edgy topics and magazine-style feature stories highlighting local people and culture. Its news coverage is more locally focused, and [its] target audiences are younger than those of daily newspapers. 3, record 1, English, - alternative%20newspaper

[...] il est vrai que la création du journal alternatif est une conséquence de l'insatisfaction du traitement médiatique du mouvement contestataire. [Le sociologue] Benjamin Ferron définit d'ailleurs les activités des journalistes alternatifs comme «la production ou reproduction d'informations et de cadres d'interprétation des événements peu ou mal traités par les médias traditionnels». 2, record 1, French, - journal%20alternatif

The scratcher is a simple device, consisting of a band of steel that fits around a joint of casing, and stiff wire fingers or cable loops sticking out in all directions around the band(360-degree coverage). A scratcher resembles a bottlebrush, but its diameter is greater than its height. Importantly, for scratchers to be effective, the casing must be moved. This movement may be reciprocal motion in and out of the wellbore, rotary motion, or both. In general, the more motion, the better the cement job will be. 2, record 2, English, - scratcher

Screening liability is a rarely requested form of coverage which provides coverage under a CGL for all contractors employed by one Owner or General Contractor. The coverage is not specific to a single construction project but may apply to all contractors working at a single operating location such as a gas plant or pulp and paper plant. The contractors covered by the policy are usually mechanical, electrical, welding, plumbing and gas-fitting contractors : classes we’re not usually too keen on. 1, record 15, English, - screening%20liability%20coverage

VanLehn spends very little of his voluminous dissertation on demonstrating the coverage of his theory. Most of his effort goes into underlining its principled construction. First, he traces the performance of his model to a restricted set of sufficient principles, emphasizing that his design is transparent with respect to them. Second, he argues that these principles are necessary to the theory for empirical and explanatory adequacy by comparing them with potential competitors in what he calls competitive argumentation. In this context, it becomes essential to have well-defined processes by which modifications to the underlying principles propagate through the theory, via the kind of global constraints called entailments in REPAIR theory. VanLehn is now advocating his competitive argumentation as a general methodology for validating AI-based theories of human cognition(VanLehn et al., 1984). One of his central claims is that the contributions of a solid argumentation may well outlive the theory it was meant to support. 1, record 16, English, - competitive%20argumentation
