  • Telephone Services

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.

OBS

Canada's climate change plan calls for a 55 million tonne(Mt) cap on Large Final Emitters and the creation of a carbon offset trading system to achieve these levels. A target price of $15 has been set as the maximum that industry will have to pay to offset one tonne of carbon.... All Canadian companies will have the opportunity to capitalize on reducing carbon emissions starting in 2008, but the credit process and eventual market potential are still unclear. As the system unfolds, it will be important for Large Final Emitters and other companies or individuals to maximize their potential gain.... If companies are able to achieve improve efficiency and share best practices by looking for ways to reduce emissions and trade credits, then the market should expand. Likewise, if firms see a social benefit from minimizing their climate footprint, they will be encouraged to continue.

OBS

Ce système veut que les grandes entreprises vendent des parts de pollution aux petites entreprises qui ne pourraient pas survivre autrement ce qui forcerait en même temps les grandes entreprises à investir dans des solutions antipollution pour compenser pour les crédits vendues. Une étude faite il y a des années à ce sujet a conclu que ce système diminuerait l'émission totale de carbone.

OBS

La notion de «carbon offset» se rend aussi par «droits d'émission de carbone» et par «compensation des émissions de carbone», selon le contexte. Ne pas oublier de mettre le pluriel à «crédits».

Subject field(s)
  • Personnel and Job Evaluation

There are two main types of point structures which are typically used with formal quantitative job evaluation methods. First, the single point structure calls for each job to have its own points score and a rate of pay tied to that point score. This type of structure is very complex to administer and difficult to explain and defend as it attempts to provide a high degree of precision in the salary plan.
