Authoritative parenting is often considered the ideal style for its combination of warmth and flexibility while still making it clear that the parents are in charge. Children of authoritative parents know what is expected of them. Their parents explain the reasons for the rules and the consequences for breaking them. Parents also listen to their child's opinions, but the parent remains the ultimate decision maker. 2, record 1, English, - authoritative%20parenting%20style

Read the paper, went to the shops where I managed to get myself some alpine climbing trousers from Decathlon.

Advantages and disadvantages of certain materials. Whipcord is made for laborers, postmen, milkmen, and such and will not get wet with the first raindrops. Corduroy, on the other hand, soaks up moisture too easily and is not very durable. Wool will remain warm even when drenched and is the best answer for outdoor wear. You may consider lederhosen, leather pants imported from the Alps. The knicker length variety, though expensive, are a good investment because rocks will not tear them. Non-waterproof nylon wind pants are useful to wear over other trousers in windy, frigid areas and when climbing extensively above timberline. Wind pants should be loose-fitting and have a drawstring around the ankles to prevent wind from blowing up the legs. Rain pants in waterproof fabric are of some value in wet, brushy areas, but in general the lack of ventilation makes these pants unsatisfactory. A light pair of cotton pants may be used as extras for hot weather, but are no substitute for wool pants in cold weather. 7, record 3, English, - climbing%20pants

Avantages et inconvénients de certains tissus. Le velours absorbe l'humidité, donc une fois mouillé sèche difficilement.

Lakes, rivers, and watersheds are the ultimate "collectors" of atmospheric pollution. Thus, one research approach has been to operate lakes and watersheds as large-scale, "calibrated" collectors, since the surface environment experiences a total loading, due to a combination of all deposition processes. This approach has led to establishing calibrated watersheds as monitoring sites which are combinations of streams, lakes, and plant communities under intensive measurement. In these watersheds, hydrologic weirs are set up in stream entering and leaving small study lakes, or settling pools. 1, record 9, English, - calibrated%20watershed
