new problems to solve. There can and should be many failures along the way. This is part of the artistic process. The lighting designer shouldn't hesitate to make as many mistakes as possible - just don't make the same mistake twice. There is great satisfaction is designing the lighting for a production that fulfills the needs of the playwright and also meets the objectives of the director and other designers. There is however far greater satisfaction in knowing that you have succeeded in your goals

should say back, why not just say ‘same to you’ ? I ask for no more. Our successes are conditioned by the ammount of risk we are ready to take. Earlier on today I visited a local farmer about three miles from where I live. He could not have been more than 55, but he said he was already too old to farm vigorously.

The Christian faithful have to be trained and taught to make that support efficient. This work seeks to be a contribution to that mobilisation. 2. The Rationale of the Thesis The rationale behind the choice of this topic is that very little effort

J’OBSERVE EXERCICE 1 A - Read these different sentences carefully and write them on line A under each of the cartoons.

CEO Glass is thinking strategically as he positions Wal-Mart in new markets to help meet the retailing challenges of the decade. He is also thinking strategically when he decides to use technology to maximum advantage. And he is thinking strategically by spending time

Le principe, que nous retrouverons plus loin, est qu'il n'est pas indispensable que les individus qui y dialoguent se connaissent. Bien entendu, le fait de se connaître dans la vie réelle ( nous utiliserons RL, pour Real Life dans la suite de ce texte, et SL, pour Second Life ou vie virtuelle ) n'est pas rédhibitoire, mais la pratique montre que le « mur » porte des messages de personnes que l'on connait peu ou pas du tout, et encore, dans le cas des réseaux restreints. Par ailleurs, la pratique
