A typical institute pattern would be for a chairman to either open the institute with a keynote address or invite someone else to do so. The keynote address is very important in defining the issues, setting the stage and tempo, and inspiring the participants to move forward toward a solution of the problems at hand. This address must be directed to the theme of the conference, else it may be time wasted. 5, record 1, English, - keynote%20address

The matchlock constituted the first mechanical device for firing.(...) For this improvement(...) two modifications of the hand cannon were necessary : the addition of a pan to hold the priming powder, which replaced the match in setting off the powder charge inside the barrel, and the addition of the serpentine, holding the match and thus freeing the hand of the shooter or his aide. These original matchlocks did not as yet include the leverage system worked by a trigger and indeed did, not have true "locks". Instead, the serpentine was a simple S-shaped arm pivoted in its center, the lower end serving as a handle by which the shooter moved the device manually. 1, record 3, English, - match

The second variant posits a reduced role for government, and the preservation of an integrated Canadian market as a result of "negative integration". This means that the provinces or states would commit themselves to the free movement of goods, services, labour, and capital among themselves and to achieve this, their powers would be limited by mutual agreement. Essentially, they would commit themselves to avoid discriminating against each other; in other respects each would have a free hand in setting policy. 1, record 4, English, - negative%20integration

La deuxième variante avance le principe d'une diminution du rôle du gouvernement et de la conservation d'un marché canadien intégré au moyen de «l'intégration négative». Cela suppose que les provinces ou les États s'engagent à permettre la libre circulation des biens, des services, de la main-d'œuvre et des capitaux entre eux et que, à cette fin, ils s'entendent pour limiter leurs pouvoirs. Cela signifie essentiellement qu'ils s'engagent à ne pas faire de discrimination entre eux; à tous autres égards, ils ne seraient soumis à aucune contrainte en matière de politique. 1, record 4, French, - int%C3%A9gration%20n%C3%A9gative
