Multi-Institutional Disposition Authorities(MIDA) are issued by the National Archivist to provide direction to government institutions subject to the National Archives of Canada Act regarding the disposal of records common to all or a multiple number of institutions. They are designed to eliminate the need for government institutions to prepare individual submissions for and negotiate agreements with the National Archivist for records which have similar administrative or operational status. 2, record 1, English, - Multi%2DInstitutional%20Disposition%20Authorities

Les Autorisations pluri-institutionnelles de disposer de documents (APDD) sont émises par l'Archiviste national aux institutions fédérales assujetties à la Loi sur les Archives nationales du Canada afin de disposer des documents communs gérés par toutes les institutions fédérales ou du moins un grand nombre d'entre elles. Elles sont élaborées pour libérer les institutions fédérales de l'obligation de préparer des demandes d'autorisation individuelles et de négocier des accords avec l'Archiviste national pour des documents communs ayant une valeur semblable - qu'elle soit administrative ou opérationnelle. 2, record 1, French, - Autorisations%20pluri%2Dinstitutionnelles%20de%20disposer%20de%20documents

Speed Up Effects : Hill Effect. A common way of siting wind turbines is to place them on hills or ridges overlooking the surrounding landscape. In particular, it is always an advantage to have as wide a view as possible in the prevailing wind direction in the area. On hills, one may also experience that wind speeds are higher than in the surrounding area. 3, record 2, English, - hill%20effect

Hang gliders can be rigid or semi-rigid. Semi-rigid, which is the most common type, have aluminium spars and battens in their wings, but are covered in a tight sheath of Dacron cloth. Rigid hang gliders are made of hard, composite materials such as glass fibre and are becoming increasingly popular. In both cases, the pilot is suspended in a harness beneath the glider in a face down position and controls the direction and speed by moving a triangular control frame to shift his or her weight beneath the wing. 3, record 4, English, - hang%20glider

Un deltaplane est un aéronef non motorisé qui ressemble à un cerf-volant de forme triangulaire. Son vol est stable et sécuritaire et il se déplace à des vitesses se situant entre 30 km/h et 120 km/h. La pratique du deltaplane s'adresse surtout aux personnes persévérantes et en bonne condition physique, car la formation est relativement technique et le pilotage de l'aile demande un minimum de force. 4, record 4, French, - deltaplane
