What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit(ADU) ? An accessory dwelling unit(ADU) is a legal and regulatory term for a secondary house or apartment that shares the building lot of a larger, primary home. The unit cannot be bought or sold separately, but they are often used to provide additional income through rent or to house a family member. For example, an elderly parent could live in a small unit and avoid having to move to an assisted living facility. 1, record 1, English, - accessory%20dwelling%20unit

Le rapport entre les soins familiaux et les soins formels est ainsi décrit : «[...] à la fois interdépendants et irréductibles les uns les autres. Ils constituent deux systèmes autonomes, ce qui les rend non substituables.» Ils obéissent à des logiques fort différentes et s'exercent selon des modèles qui leur sont propres : les soins familiaux sont adaptés, diversifiés, permanents; les soins formels sont normés, universels, définis; les uns relèvent du lien social, de l'échange, du don, de la dette symbolique; les autres relèvent du critère de l'utilité et de l'efficacité économique. 1, record 4, French, - soins%20familiaux

Generally, the key to coaching is to ask open-ended questions you don’t know the answers to(as opposed to asking questions for the sake of asking questions). The content team has to structure the choice so that the user couldn’t juste fly through the system by choosing an open-ended questions choice each time.

The heart of the cyberrevolution remains, of course, the personal computer. Cheaper, faster, more versatile and easier-to-use PCs are infiltrating the social fabric. Software like Mosaic and Netscape has made navigating the Internet a lot less daunting for average citizens.... The modern, well-wired home already offers its occupants a head-spinning array of computer-borne activities. Children use CD-ROMs to play games and hear music. Teenagers flock to online services not only to "chat", but also to reach primary school work sources... Adults have access to instant stock-market quotes, to online versions of magazines and to "clubs" where people gather to discuss astronomy, genealogy or bicycling. 1, record 8, English, - cyber%20revolution
