Apprendre les noeuds marins. Historique : L’expérience nous enseigne qu’il n’est pas absolument nécessaire de connaître des centaines de combinaisons de nœuds pour faire face à toutes les situations où un cordage est mis en œuvre à bord d’un bateau. Dans le domaine maritime, le futur marin se doit de connaître l’art des nœuds encore appelé «matelotage». Cela lui sera utile entre autre pour relier deux cordages entre eux, pour fixer une aussière (amarres d’un bâtiment), ou sur une bitte d’amarrage, pour récupérer et hisser à bord un homme tombé à la mer, pour fixer un pavillon ou tout simplement pour orner les bâtiments.

Les nœuds courants sont répartis en trois grandes familles : Les nœuds d’arrêt, pour finir un cordage, pour éviter que celui-ci ne file par une poulie, pour alourdir en son extrémité ou pour un amarrage d’urgence.

Mike was in his room writing a paper for his U.S. History class. On his desk next to his computer sat crunched Red Bulls, empty Gatorade bottles, some extra pocket change and scattered pieces of paper. In the pocket of his sweat pants rested a blaring iPod with a chord that dangled near the floor, almost touching against his Adidas sandals. On his computer sat even more stray objects than his surrounding environment. There must have been twenty browser tabs open.

Mike made a shift about every thirty seconds between all of the above. Do you know a person like this? The Science Behind Concentration In the above account, Mike’s obviously stuck in a routine that many of us may have found ourselves in, yet in the moment we feel it’s almost an impossible routine to get out of.

10 Places to Find Free Images Online and Make Your Content More Linkable. Attracting visitors to your website is a balancing act. On one hand, you must have great information, since that is the core of your service. The text is also the most important part of your site’s content that traditional search engines read, and thus, keywords, headings, originality, and links are so important. On the other hand, few people are going to sit around and read pages and pages of nothing but text – you have to make the page visually appealing. That is where the importance of images comes in!
