RadioLovers.com - Old Time Radio Shows 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. Les nœuds d’ancrage ou d’amarrage, pour fixer un cordage à un support fixe ou non. Les nœuds de jonction (d’ajout) pour attacher deux cordages entre eux. Le nœud coulant. Le nœud de capucin.

The good news is that all learning resources are still available, but under a different address -- and everything is now certified as "safe".

8 Things Everybody Ought to Know About Concentrating - StumbleUpon “Music helps me concentrate,” Mike said to me glancing briefly over his shoulder. 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. 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. When we constantly multitask to get things done, we’re not multitasking, we’re rapidly shifting our attention. Phase 1: Blood Rush Alert When Mike decides to start writing his History essay, blood rushes to his anterior prefrontal cortex. Phase 2: Find and Execute

Khan Academy 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. For example, I wrote a post last week about alternatives to blocking domain registration information, and one of the tips was to use your dog’s name in contact info. I added a cute photo of a puppy from Flickr and received lots of comments and links to the post. There are some differences in the types of images that are available online, but keep in mind some images are free and others are rights protected. So what images can you use and which ones are protected? Public Domain Images are free to use however you want.

Mantak Chia As taught by Master Mantak Chia, Universal Tao Center, Thailand www.universal-tao.org In the Taoist tradition, positive and negative emotions are associated with the internal organs. One of the keys to good health is to become aware of the emotional energies that reside in the organs, and to transform the negative emotional energies into positive virtues. Taoists believe that we are all born with the virtues of love, gentleness, kindness, respect, honesty, fairness, justice, and righteousness. Figure 1. Unfortunately, as we mature and encounter more stress in our daily lives, negative emotions such as fear, anger, cruelty, impatience, worry, sadness, and grief often predominate. Figure 2. In the Tao "emotional intelligence" is a process of recognizing emotions by their effects on the body, and employing exercises that transform the negative emotions into positive life force, or Chi.
