What is commonly called "stalking" includes such things as repeatedly following someone; spending extended periods of time watching someone's home or place of work; making repeated telephone calls to someone or her friends; making contact with someone's neighbours or co-workers; and contacting and possibly threatening someone's new companion, spouse or children.

Bien qu'il n'existe pas actuellement de consensus clair en termes de définition de la traque furtive, il existe cependant un certain nombre de points communs entre les différentes définitions utilisées. Ainsi, il faut : une victime et un persécuteur, dont les conduites relèvent du harcèlement, se manifestant par une intrusion répétitive et non sollicitée de la part du harceleur dans la sphère privée de la victime, un sentiment de peur, voire d'insécurité chez la victime.

Subject field(s)
  • Organized Recreation
CONT

An advance man has to make sure the little American flags passed out at a rally aren’t stamped "Made in Taiwan." The wheels-up party is another tradition lovingly nurtured. When an event is over, the advance team goes back to the hotel bar, the party beginning as soon as the candidate is "wheels-up" at the airport.

CONT

I have been invited by one of my new friends to a “Wheels Up” party this weekend. This is a new concept to me; when a visiting delegation completes its mission and leaves the country for home, it is customary for the regular in-country project staff to have a Wheels Up party, celebrating the takeoff(wheels up) of the plane that takes them back to wherever they came from.

  • Telephone Services
  • Internet and Telematics
CONT

Making calls to your friends and family through your normal telephone is becoming obsolete. It is now the norm for people to talk to their friends and family with instant messaging services such as Yahoo, AOL, and MSN. Another version of using your computer to communicate is using VoIP(Voice over Internet Protocol) [, i. e. ] a class of hardware and software that allows people to use the Internet for making telephone calls. One of the many advantages of this type of service is no surcharge. The amount you pay for this service is included in your monthly Internet fees. AOL is coming out with a new "Total Talk VoIP" that is to replace AOL Internet Phone. The difference being that with AOL Internet Phone it was available exclusively for those who were members of AOL. With Total Talk VoIP, broadband users throughout American and Canada will enjoy the convenience offered by AOL.
