In practice, a combination framework is probably the most useful type of framework for urban sustainability indicators. The advantage of a combination framework is that it can consolidate the advantages of several individual frameworks while simultaneously overcoming some of their weaknesses. CMHC has developed a combination domain-based/sectoral framework known as the Community Oriented Model of the Lived Environment (COMLE). In this framework, indicators are organized under areas of municipal government responsibility, such as housing and transportation and are linked to sustainability goals of environmental integrity, economic vitality and social well-being. 1, record 7, English, - Community%20Oriented%20Model%20of%20the%20Lived%20Environment

L'avantage du cadre hybride, c'est qu'il peut consolider les avantages de plusieurs types de cadre tout en écartant certaines de leurs faiblesses. La SCHL a mis au point un cadre hybride axé sur les domaines et les secteurs, cadre appelé le Modèle d’orientation communautaire de l'environnement habité(MOCEH). Dans ce cadre, les indicateurs sont classés selon les domaines de responsabilité municipale, comme le logement et les transports, et sont reliés aux objectifs de la durabilité de l'intégrité environnementale, de la vitalité économique et du bien-être social. 1, record 7, French, - Mod%C3%A8le%20d%27orientation%20communautaire%20de%20l%27environnement%20habit%C3%A9

Le «spin», ou l'interprétation partisane, est devenu un terme très employé par les médias. C'est la pratique selon laquelle les collaborateurs d’un candidat offrent instantanément, des divers événements ou déclarations du jour, une analyse favorable à leur cause. Plus ils essaient d’interpréter la question à leur avantage, et plus les médias essaient de présenter le côté opposé. 1, record 14, French, - interpr%C3%A9tation%20partisane

Procédé de vernissage des grès, consistant à jeter du sel marin dans le four à la fin de la cuisson. (Cette technique tend à disparaître à cause de la corrosion excessive des réfractaires du four.

This scenario represents the case where sharing or acquisition of an existing right-of-way is not considered practical for the reasons discussed previously but where the high speed rail right-of-way would share an existing corridor in order to mitigate the impacts of establishing a new rail corridor. Generally, this is best achieved by developing a high speed right-of-way alongside the conventional rail right-of-way minimizing the impact on adjacent land use and gaining the benefit of co-location in an established corridor from an environmental impact viewpoint. 1, record 16, English, - rail%20corridor
