LAY CARE [8 records]

Record 1 2022-08-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Occupation Names (General)
  • Plant and Crop Production
  • Horticulture
DEF

A person employed to tend, cultivate, or lay out a garden.

CONT

Gardeners with experience should cope with all the tasks needed to keep a garden under control – including weeding, grass cutting, strimming, pruning, planting, mulching, feeding, spraying and lawn care – and know when to do them. A top-notch gardener will be able to help you plan your garden, suggest and source plants and even mentor you, if you want to learn more. You shouldn’t expect a gardener to do the jobs that a landscaper would do, such as lay a patio, build a wall or put up a garden building.

  • Animal Behaviour
  • Birds
DEF

The practice in certain bird species of depositing their eggs in the nest of another species.

Domaine(s)
  • Comportement animal
  • Oiseaux
CONT

Le parasitisme de la reproduction atteint sa forme la plus complexe quand l'oiseau pond dans un nid étranger, laissant au propriétaire le soin de couver et d'élever les jeunes [...]

OBS

L'oiseau parasite ne fait pas de nid, ne couve pas ses œufs et n'élève pas ses petits. Il se contente de pondre dans le nid d'un oiseau d'une autre espèce (l'hôte), et c'est celui-ci qui se charge de l'incubation et du nourrissage.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Emergency Management
CONT

Because every response to a terrorist event is unique, there is an emerging realization that a response can be conducted by an array of non-traditional first responders, including local public health authorities, front-line health care providers, food inspectors, and lay responders.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion des urgences
CONT

Puisque chaque intervention en cas d'acte terroriste est unique, on prend de plus en plus conscience qu'une intervention peut être dirigée par une panoplie de premiers intervenants non traditionnels, comme les autorités locales de santé publique, les fournisseurs de soins de santé de première ligne, les inspecteurs alimentaires et les intervenants civils.

Subject field(s)
  • Tort Law (common law)
  • Law of Obligations (civil law)
CONT

... it is for the court to lay down the general standard of care exacted by law.... This will ordinarily take the form of an incantation of the traditional formula of the reasonable and prudent man.

E. g. the care which an occupier must observe for the safety of persons who have come upon his land has been meticulously formulated in accordance with a fine graduation of standards corresponding to the degree of benefit which he derives from their visit.
