DEF

A reality that is difficult to confront but impossible to deny because it is blatantly obvious.

CONT

[Even] when we want to deceive ourselves it's difficult because inflation is such an in-our-face part of everyday life. It's almost like when your best friend gives birth to an ugly baby. You lie and tell her that the kid is beautiful, hoping that some day he will be. But the parents aren’t blind, and they know the kid isn’t going to be supporting the family by modeling anytime soon. [Inflation] is a funny thing. Like the ugly baby, you can deny its existence even as it is goo-gooing you in the face. But eventually the truth will come out.

CONT

Confronting the ugly baby... The culture you have created as a leader might not be as pretty as you think it is.

So what are the options for distance coaching? We can design an individual programme for you based around the following processes :-Telephone at agreed times. 30 minute discussion supported by exercises. Instant messaging at agreed times. Just the same as a telephone call but no cost. Just type messages back and forward-a digital conversation! E-mail. Take your own time. Work when you want to and your coach will reply. Whichever suits you best, you can be sure that your coach will take you through a structured coaching process, helping you to set and achieve powerful goals.

CONT

Le pédagogue doit maîtriser le matériel technologique relié à l'enseignement et à l'encadrement à distance, mais il faut éviter de faire passer les préoccupations technologiques avant les objectifs d'apprentissage pédagogiques, car les TIC demeurent un support à l'enseignement. En téléenseignement, l'interactivité entre le professeur et les deux groupes d'apprenants est primordiale pour permettre l'expérience de la classe virtuelle. De même, l'interactivité entre les groupes est souhaitable, mais elle est en fonction du temps disponible, des outils pédagogiques développés et de la qualité des expériences des participants.

CONT

C'est évident qu'il y a certaines réticences à envisager le coaching à distance. De notre point de vue, toute situation, tout choix, toute personne a les qualités de ses défauts. Concernant cette forme de coaching, elle a l'avantage de faire abstraction des apparences et de se focaliser sur l'essentiel, sans parler du confort lié à l'absence de déplacement : le service, à domicile et à coût réduit.

The next question to ask yourself is how do you learn? If lectures put you to sleep, you most likely don’t learn well by listening, which means an instructor-led class is probably not the best choice. If, on the other hand, you can’t make yourself study on your own, the structure of an instructor-led class might be exactly what you need. If you learn better by reading a book, either self-study or online training might be the best choice.

Anglais

Subject field(s)
  • Audiovisual Techniques and Equipment
  • Audio Technology
DEF

Headphones cushioned in such a way that they do not allow sounds from the outside to be heard.

CONT

Closed-air headphones trap sound better and circulate it around your ears to produce clean, isolated sound, but experts are cautious about the use of anything in daily situations where you can’t hear outside noises - especially approaching vehicles, sirens, shouting, intercom announcements, etc. This may be partly why reviewers have a tendency to recommend open-air headphones with Noise Cancellation technology as best for portable audio units.

OBS

counterattack: term also used in table tennis.

OBS

Related term: reply.

CONT

If your opponent is at the net and you can not make an effective passing shot, it is best to throw up a defensive lob. On the other hand, if you are well balanced and your opponent is not crowding the net, you may elect to hit a counter-attacking shot that may be a passing short or a topspin lob.

Subject field(s)
  • Masonry Practice
CONT

For projects using brick, make certain you have a brick trowel, brick chisel, mason's hammer, 4 ft. level, tape measure, pointing trowel, jointing tool, mason's line, wood line blocks and spirit level. The height and thickness of your walls are always important... Be sure to leave a space between bricks for your joint. This method is best to determine the spacing of your bricks. Then, drive a stake in the ground at both ends of your wall and stretch mason's line between them. The line will serve as a straight line guide and should mark the outside edge and top of your first course of bricks. Later, as you proceed, the guideline can be moved up to match each successive course of bricks. Line blocks can be used to hold line in place... When laying bricks, always start at the corners and keep the corners higher than the rest of your work. Work from the corners toward the center of your wall. Use the level frequently to check level and plumb. As the wall increases in height, move the line blocks up to the ends of your corner lead.

CONT

Use plastic line blocks to attach line to corners and ends, which are always built up first. Lay bricks flush with line, but do not push it out. Line blocks, unlike pins and nails, leave no holes in mortar to be filled in later.

Français

Domaine(s)
  • Maçonnerie
CONT

  • Landscape Architecture
CONT

If Memphis was not developed and was left alone to grow naturally, it would be forest. Many of the plants that grow best in my shady garden, then are native woodland plants. So, if big trees dominate your landscape like mine, you might have to say goodbye to perky zinnias and marigolds, day lilies, petunias and sunflowers. But you can embrace another whole world of plants. They might not be as showy as the sunlovers, but they hold a delicate charm. Shade gardens are places of special, quiet beauty.

What you need in order to access on-line music distribution services : To get to the Internet Underground Music Archive(IUMA) RockNet, Kaleidospace and metaverse. com, you’ll be best off with full Internet access, and a sound card that gives your computer audio-capability, unless you own a Macintosh, which already has sound capacity built in. If you have full Internet access, connect to the World Wide Web(WWW). The quickest way to each service is to use your favorite WWW browser. With the more-powerful Mosaic browser, you can listen to the music on-line, but you need a very powerful computer. Point you browser at the following Universal Resource Locators(URL) : IUMA, RockNet, Kaleisdospace, metaverse. com. The home page of each site usually has a how-to guide. If your system doesn’t allow WWW access, but lets you use gopher(like Concordia University's Pavo system), go to your main command prompt, and type in gopher URI. for site. Once at the site, you will have to download the sound files to your Internet system, or directly to your PC(assuming you use a terminal server.)

OBS

Yet there are limits to the technology as it now exists. Even with a high-speed modem and the necessary sound card, a three- or four-minute song can take anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours to download. It can also use up a large amount of computer storage space.
