An effective facilitator does not just end at asking effective questions. Proper timing and accurate delivery are also important. For a good and effective facilitation, the APPLE technique might work best. APPLE is the acronym for asking the question, pausing to allow the participants to comprehend the question and think of an answer, picking a member to provide an answer, listening to the answer provided, and expounding or elaborating more on the answers given. More importantly, listen to the answers of the questions you asked. 2, record 1, English, - APPLE%20technique

ENVISAT/ASAR may be calibrated using the ERS [European Remote Sensing Satellite] instrument. Two SAR [synthetic aperture radar] images of the same area are required and at least one strong point-like target must be visible in both scenes. The target response should originate from the same stable scatterer. For the technique a very coarse digital elevation model(DEM) of the scene is suitable. The method bases on the very well-known timing parameters and high orbit accuracy of the ERS instrument(5 cm radial and 15 cm along track orbit accuracy). 2, record 2, English, - high%20orbit%20accuracy

An electropalatograph(also termed palometer) is an instrument that records the timing and location of tongue contact with the hard palate during continuous speech. The technique requires the speaker to wear an artificial palate that is moulded to fit the roof of the mouth. Tongue-palate contract is recorded by a number of silver or gold contacts located on the lingual surface of the artificial palate(also termed pseudopalate). 1, record 4, English, - artificial%20palate
