Building strong, muscular arms takes more than hard work and
dedication. It also takes a plan-one rooted in science, based on
the latest research, and proven to deliver results. Massive,
Muscular Arms: Scientifically Proven Strategies for Bigger Biceps,
Triceps, and Forearms is that plan and so much more. Massive,
Muscular Arms takes an in-depth look at the underlying principles
of biomechanics and anatomy to provide you with a better
understanding of why your results may have stagnated and how small
adjustments to the most common arm exercises can make them more
effective. You will learn about the importance of training for
strength and why low-rep strength work is a necessary component to
building more aesthetically impressive arms. Packed with over 65
exercises designed to work deep into the muscles, you will be able
to substitute selected exercises into your existing program or
follow one of the six featured training programs (for novices and
experienced lifters alike) that are designed to blast through
plateaus and take your arm development up a notch. Author David
Barr, a certified strength and conditioning coach who has over two
decades of experience in strength and conditioning, also provides
you with sidebars that debunk the popular myths that are associated
with arm training. Safety considerations for more advanced
exercises and advice on how to perform exercises correctly and
reduce risk of injury are also included. Let Massive, Muscular Arms
help you take your training to the next level! CE exam available!
For certified professionals, a companion continuing education exam
can be completed after reading this book. Massive, Muscular Arms CE
Exam may be purchased separately or as part of the Massive,
Muscular Arms With CE Exam package that includes both the book and
the exam.
Dave Barr knew from 12 years old he wanted to be a Marine.
Following a series of menial jobs - including working at a shoe
shiner in a barber's shop and in service stations - at 17 he joined
the Marines before shipping out to Vietnam. This was his dream come
true - flying as a helicopter gunner - and he ended the war with an
impressive 57 Air Medals, one Air Medal for every 20 combat
missions. After leaving the Marines, like many veterans, Dave found
it hard to hold down a good job and stay out of trouble. It was
then that he read about Israel. Always looking for a rush, Dave
learnt to skydive before deciding to take his chances - emigrating
illegally to Israel. He was inducted into the Israeli Army and then
the Paratroopers, where the training was difficult - involving long
tough marches, as well as learning Hebrew. After serving his time,
he left Israel - and back in the USA, Dave was stuck in a rut and
ready for his next adventure. This is the second volume of Dave's
memoirs. Just as rich and colourful an account as the first
instalment, the book portrays a professional soldier's view of the
'sharp end' of war. Following on from his time in the Israeli Army
paratroopers, Dave travelled to Rhodesia and fought alongside the
Rhodesian Light Infantry. His next assignment was with the South
African Defence Force in operations in South West Africa and
Angola. Then came the fateful day and near fatal injuries as a
result of a land mine explosion. Almost a year later following 20
operations and Dave was finally allowed back onto active duty and
doing what he did best, being a soldier.

For years, language teachers have increasingly been using
technologies of all kinds, from computers to smartphones, to help
their students learn. Current trends in TELTL (technology-enhanced
language teaching and learning), such as artificial intelligence,
virtual reality, augmented reality, gamification, and social
networking, appear to represent major shifts in the digital
language learning landscape. However, various applications of
technology to mediate language learning may be informed by
reflecting not only on the present but perhaps more importantly on
relevant insights from past research and practice. Emerging
Concepts in Technology-Enhanced Language Teaching and Learning
explores the recent development of the new technologies for
language teaching and learning to gain insights into and synergy of
the theories, pedagogies, technological design, and evaluation of
TELTL environments for comprehending the trends and strategies of
the new digital era as well as investigate the possibility of
future TELTL research direction. The book includes trends shaped by
contemporary issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Covering topics
such as digital education tools, L2 learnings, and sentiment
analysis, this book serves as an essential resource for
researchers, language teachers, educational software developers,
administrators, IT consultants, technologists, professors,
pre-service teachers, academicians, and students.
This volume focuses on computer- and digitally-assisted language
learning in all of its forms: technology-enhanced language
learning, network-based language learning, mobile-assisted language
learning and so on, in close relation to the topic of
sustainability. How can these technologies and techniques be
implemented in a sustainable and repeatable way? The book covers a
wide range of areas in terms of this "sustainability". These
include: (1) education (teacher/learner training) (2) normalisation
(integration) (3) systems (reliability, support, development) (4)
mobility (mobile-assisted language leaning) (5) innovation (trends,
research) The volume samples research and practice in CALL from
around the world, organised into sections. It has an introduction
and a conclusion written by the editors (Ana Gimeno, Mike Levy,
Francoise Blin and David Barr) which covers the state of the art at
the moment and directions it is likely to take in the future.
Les Forces d'operations speciales (SOF) n'ont jamais fait partie
integrante des capacites militaires du Canada. Des unites speciales
ont certes existe a certaines periodes de notre histoire, mais
elles ont toujours oeuvre dans l'ombre, a la limite de la
reconnaissance. Elles ont presque toujours ete marginalisees.
Cependant, la tragique attaque lancee par des terroristes sur les
tours jumelles du "World Trade Center" a New York, le 11 septembre
2001, a considerablement modifie leur image. Les SOF sont devenues
depuis des forces de premier plan. Les essais qui forment cet
ouvrage concernant les SOF ont ete rediges par des experts en la
matiere. Pris collectivement, ils constituent un recueil exhaustif
d'informations et de connaissances sur les SOF canadiennes et sur
des questions et sujets qui s'y rapportent. En somme, l'ouvrage
permet au lecteur d'acquerir une solide base sur la theorie, le
contexte historique et l'evolution des SOF, y compris les
evenements qui favorisent leur expansion."

This book examines the role of computers in language learning and
teaching in higher education. In particular, it considers the
pedagogical and practical value of designing a language-learning
environment around computer technology. Whereas considerable
research has already been undertaken in analysing the value of
individual computer tools and packages (such as e-mail), the study
gives a broad appraisal of their individual and collective value,
without being too exhaustive. Using quantitative and qualitative
data, based on research visits to three universities, Ulster,
Cambridge and Toronto, this study provides examples of effective
practice in the area of the exploitation of Information and
Communication Technology for language learning and teaching. It
draws on the experience of these three institutions, as well as the
findings of current literature in this area, in order to establish
a set of essential criteria that institutions need to meet when
creating a computer-based environment. Although these criteria are
based on experience with language-learning environments, they are
essentially generic in nature and may be applied to other
computer-based learning environments.
