swimming style

    * Breaststroke 蛙泳
    * Backstroke 仰泳
    * Butterfly 蝶泳
    * front crawl 自由泳
Recreational Styles

There are a large number of different recreational swimming styles. Some of them are swum on the breast, some on the back, and some on the side. Of course, all the competition strokes can be swum recreationally.
On the Breast

    * Front Crawl is the fastest swimming style.
          o Trudgen (also known as Trudgeon): The trudgen is similar to the front crawl, except it is swum with a scissor kick
          o Trudgen Crawl: Similar to the trudgen, but with a flutter kick between the scissor kicks
          o Double Trudgen: Similar to the trudgen, but the sides of the scissor kick alternate
          o Double Trudgen Crawl: Similar to the double trudgen, but with a flutter kick between the scissor kicks
          o Dolphin Crawl: Similar to front crawl, but with a dolphin kick. One kick per arm or two kicks per cycle. This style is often used in training.
          o Catch up stroke: A variation of the front crawl where one arm always rests at the front while the other arm performs one cycle.
    * Breaststroke
    * Heads-Up Breaststroke: Similar to the breaststroke, but the head stays out of the water. This style is very popular for recreational and swimmers and also for rescue swimmers approaching a victim.
    * Butterfly
    * Slow Butterfly (also known as Moth stroke): Similar to butterfly, but with an extended gliding phase, Breathing during the pull/push phase, return head into water during recovery. This style uses four kicks or more per cycle.
    * Dog Paddle: face over water and paddling alternatingly with the hands.
    * Human Stroke: Similar to the dog paddle, but the arms reach out more and pull farther down.
    * Survival Travel Stroke: Alternating underwater arm stroke, one cycle for propulsion, one for lift to stay on the surface. This style is slow but sustainable.
    * Snorkeling: Swimming on the breast using a snorkel, usually in combination with masks and fins. Any stroke on the breast can be used, and there is no need to lift or turn the head for breathing.

On the Back

    * Backstroke (also known as Back Crawl)
    * Elementary Backstroke: Both arms move synchronized with a small synchronized kick. This is also sometimes known as the Lifesaving Kick
    * Inverted Breaststroke: Similar to Elementary Backstroke, but with a breaststroke kick.
    * Inverted Butterfly: Similar to Elementary backstroke, but with a dolphin kick. This is often used for training.
    * Back Double Trudgen: Similar to the Backstroke, but with a scissor kick to alternating sides.
    * Flutter Back Finning: Symmetrically underwater arm recovery with flutter kick.
    * Feet First Swimming: A very slow stroke on the back where a breaststroke movement with the arms propels the body forward feet first. This is often used for training.

On the Side

    * Side Stroke: Lying on the side with alternating underwater recovery and a scissor kick
    * Overarm Sidestroke: Similar to the side stroke, but with a over water recovery of the top arm

Other

    * Corkscrew Swimming: Alternating between Front crawl and backstroke every arm. This leads to a constant rotation of the swimmer. The stroke is used mainly for training purposes
    * Underwater Swimming: any style with underwater recovery can be swum under water for certain distances depending on the need for air. Underwater swimming on the back has the additional possibility of water entering the nose. The swimmer can breathe out through the nose or wear a nose clip. Some swimmers can close their nostrils with the upper lip.
    * Gliding: The swimmer is stretched with the arms to the front, the head between the arms and the feet to the back. This streamlined shape minimizes resistance and allows the swimmer to glide, for example after a start, a push off from a wall, or to rest between strokes.
    * Turtle stroke: on the breast, extend right arm then pull, after pushing with the left leg (while opposite limbs are recovering), then opposite limbs repeat this process, i.e. left arm pulls after right leg pushes. Uses muscles of the waist. Head can easily be above or below water: this is a slow but very sustainable stroke, popular with turtles and newts.

在外企混一定要懂的潜台词[zz]

老外的想法做法就是不一样,如果你想在外企混得好,有些潜规则你最好心里有数。
  
  Unacceptable:老外打小受的教育是人要以表扬鼓励为主,所以老外批评人比较含蓄.说你这件事办的unacceptable,已经算是说的很重了,中国老板在外企混久了,也便跟着装逼起来,对你不满,写email给你,左一个unacceptable右一unacceptable,潜台词相当于:你这个傻逼,你奶奶个熊,给老子小心点,X你妈的,等等.
  
  CC:就是Copy.我看email,第一看标题,第二看CC给谁,第三才看内容.CC给谁基本上能够说明对方的态度,CC一大批老板的,肯定不是啥好事,对方要推卸责任.潜台词:我这件事告诉你了哦,和我没关系了,你自己看着办吧,反正老板都知道?都盯着你呢. 最开心的是看到自己的名字在CC那一栏里面,因为那意味着那就是这封信不用回,看看就可以.有人会回的.
  
  Concern:中文翻译成"关注",其实根本不是关注的意思,老外要是说他很concern, 那就是事情不妙,所谓老外打喷嚏,中国人集体感冒。潜台词:老子很不爽,这事儿怎么这么乱七八糟,给我注意点!.
  
  Great:刚才说了,老外打小受教育要多夸人,少批评人,所以老外一天到晚把"It"s great!","you did a great job!"挂在嘴上,初听还飘飘然了几回,听久了,才知道其实压根儿就是他们口头禅,心里未必觉得你有多great,同义词还有fantastic! wonderful! Gorgeous! Fabulous!等等. 潜台词:还马马虎虎啦,一般般了,还过得去.
  
  F.Y.I:以前一直以为是forward邮件的时候系统会自动加上这几个字,因为人家转过来的信上都有这三个字母,过了好久才知道是人家自己加的,意思是:For Your Information.看到这几个字母意味着下面内容和我有关,但是关系不大,看看就好.因为对方如果要你采取行动,一定会说清楚:Allen,please……..而不会只是F.Y.I了事.潜台词:和你关系不大,给你随便看看.
  
  Issue:中文翻译成事情,其实是贬义词,准确意思是"不好的事情",老外说有一个issue,就是有件鸟事要处理.要有很多issue,那就是一团糟.潜台词:事情不妙,大家都赶快处理.
  
  Aggressive:中文翻译成"进攻性的",在外企里面意思含糊,褒义的有"具有开拓精神的","有事业心的",贬义的有"咄咄逼人的","喜欢没头脑乱闯的","容易得罪别人的",反正意思可褒可贬,看你自己琢磨. 面试时候说自己"aggressive"的,潜台词是:我可不是那种混日子的人,我是能干事的,招我准没错. 但是一但说别人"very aggressive",基本上潜台词是说:这傻逼凶巴巴的,不好相处,做事没头没脑,老闯祸…不是啥好鸟.
  
  Involve:中文翻译成"介入",反正involve的老板越高层事情就越复杂,director要是involve了,manager就开始紧张,VP要是involve了,中国区相关人员都别想有好日子过,得加班加得四脚朝天. 潜台词:大佬很生气,后果很严重.
  
  RESEND!:重传。 潜台词:有没在上班的呀?还没有答复过来?是不是在混水摸鱼?我的时间 很宝贵的,不快点回复你就死定了。
  
  highlight :强调,意思是说你搞不定一定要提前highlight出来,抗不住就早点讲,一般要highlight的东西都是比较难搞定的。
  
  urgent :紧急的,遇到这样的urgent的case你就有得麻烦了,电话基本不会停下来,好一阵子的热线。
  
  appreciate :欣赏。当事情自己解决不了的时候,需要别人帮忙的时候,或者是自己做错事无法挽回的时候,一句your kind help should be appreciated.就会发挥很大的作用 了。
  
  guarantee :保证,之前promise的东西没有出现,于是再次向别人求助的时候,对方一句Are you guarantee of it?让你很是尴尬,使对方陷入困境。对于sales来讲,此词使用的几率教高。
  
  my understandingis...翻成中文是我的理解是。潜台词是,应该是。你的理解有误,我在此再给你解释一下。虽然看上去是对方在说自己的理解,但基本上是认为你的看法是错的,他的是正确的。
  
  I’m very disappointed...中文是:我很失望。 潜台词是:你怎么搞得,弄成这样。后果有点严重,基本上这个人对你有了一个很差的印象了。

Wouldn't It Be Loverly?[zz]

All I want is a room somewhere,
Far away from the cold night air,
With one enormous chair.
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?

Lots of chocolate for me to eat.
Lots of coal makin' lots of 'eat.
Warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet.
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?

Oh, so loverly sittin' absobloominlutely still.
I would never budge 'till spring
Crept over the windowsill.

Someone's 'ead restin' on my knee,
Warm an' tender as 'e can be,
Who takes good care of me.
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly.
From<my fairly lady>

The Seven Steps of the Research Process[zz]

The following seven steps outline a simple and effective strategy for finding information for a research paper and documenting the sources you find. Depending on your topic and your familiarity with the library, you may need to rearrange or recycle these steps. Adapt this outline to your needs. We are ready to help you at every step in your research.


STEP 1: IDENTIFY AND DEVELOP YOUR TOPIC

SUMMARY: State your topic as a question. For example, if you are interested in finding out about use of alcoholic beverages by college students, you might pose the question, "What effect does use of alcoholic beverages have on the health of college students?" Identify the main concepts or keywords in your question.

More details on how to identify and develop your topic.


STEP 2: FIND BACKGROUND INFORMATION

SUMMARY: Look up your keywords in the indexes to subject encyclopedias. Read articles in these encyclopedias to set the context for your research. Note any relevant items in the bibliographies at the end of the encyclopedia articles. Additional background information may be found in your lecture notes, textbooks, and reserve readings.

More suggestions on how to find background information.

Return to the top


STEP 3: USE CATALOGS TO FIND BOOKS AND MEDIA

SUMMARY: Use guided keyword searching to find materials by topic or subject. Print or write down the citation (author, title,etc.) and the location information (call number and library). Note the circulation status. When you pull the book from the shelf, scan the bibliography for additional sources. Watch for book-length bibliographies and annual reviews on your subject; they list citations to hundreds of books and articles in one subject area. Check the standard subject subheading "--BIBLIOGRAPHIES," or titles beginning with Annual Review of... in the Cornell Library Classic Catalog.

More detailed instructions for using catalogs to find books.

STEP 4: USE INDEXES TO FIND PERIODICAL ARTICLES

SUMMARY: Use periodical indexes and abstracts to find citations to articles. The indexes and abstracts may be in print or computer-based formats or both. Choose the indexes and format best suited to your particular topic; ask at the reference desk if you need help figuring out which index and format will be best. You can find periodical articles by the article author, title, or keyword by using the periodical indexes in the Library home page. If the full text is not linked in the index you are using, write down the citation from the index and search for the title of the periodical in the Cornell Library Classic Catalog. The catalog lists the print, microform, and electronic versions of periodicals at Cornell.

STEP 5: FIND INTERNET RESOURCES

SUMMARY: Use search engines. Check to see if your class has a bibliography or research guide created by librarians.

Finding Information on the Internet: A thorough tutorial from UC Berkeley.


STEP 6: EVALUATE WHAT YOU FIND

SUMMARY: See How to Critically Analyze Information Sources and Distinguishing Scholarly from Non-Scholarly Periodicals: A Checklist of Criteria for suggestions on evaluating the authority and quality of the books and articles you located.
Watch on YouTube: Identifying scholarly journals    Identifying substantive news sources

If you have found too many or too few sources, you may need to narrow or broaden your topic. Check with a reference librarian or your instructor.

When you're ready to write, here is an annotated list of books to help you organize, format, and write your paper.


STEP 7: CITE WHAT YOU FIND USING A STANDARD FORMAT

Give credit where credit is due; cite your sources.

Citing or documenting the sources used in your research serves two purposes, it gives proper credit to the authors of the materials used, and it allows those who are reading your work to duplicate your research and locate the sources that you have listed as references.

Knowingly representing the work of others as your own is plagarism. (See Cornell's Code of Academic Integrity). Use one of the styles listed below or another style approved by your instructor. Handouts summarizing the APA and MLA styles are available at Uris and Olin Reference.

Available online:

RefWorks is a web-based program that allows you to easily collect, manage, and organize bibliographic references by interfacing with databases. RefWorks also interfaces directly with Word, making it easy to import references and incorporate them into your writing, properly formatted according to the style of your choice.

  • See our guide to citation tools and styles.

  • Format the citations in your bibliography using examples from the following Library help pages: Modern Language Association (MLA) examples and American Psychological Association (APA) examples.

    Style guides in print (book) format:

    • MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. 7th ed. New York: MLA, 2009.
      (Olin Reference LB 2369 .G53 2009 [shelved at the reference desk]; also Uris Reference, others)

      This handbook is based on the MLA Style Manual (Olin and Uris Ref PN 147 .G444x 1998) and is intended as an aid for college students writing research papers. Included here is information on selecting a topic, researching the topic, note taking, the writing of footnotes and bibliographies, as well as sample pages of a research paper. Useful for the beginning researcher.

    • Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. 6th ed. Washington: APA, 2010. (Olin Reference BF 76.7 .P83 2010 [shelved at the reference desk]; also Uris Reference, Mann Reference, others)

RESEARCH TIPS:

WORK FROM THE GENERAL TO THE SPECIFIC.
Find background information first, then use more specific and recent sources.
RECORD WHAT YOU FIND AND WHERE YOU FOUND IT.
Record the complete citation for each source you find; you may need it again later.
TRANSLATE YOUR TOPIC INTO THE SUBJECT LANGUAGE OF THE INDEXES AND CATALOGS YOU USE.
Check your topic words against a thesaurus or subject heading list.
