Military technical school is typically 1 to 3 months in duration, though some schools are as short as 2 weeks or as long as 2 years. Upon graduation, military technical school recruits are qualified only as apprentices and must work under supervision until they have completed a more extensive on the job training program.

Multiple issues orphan February 2009 refimprove May 2008 essay like September 2008 Or date May 2008 Technical presentations serve engineering, scientific and high tech purposes, describing advances in technology, problem resolution, product design and project status. In general, technical presentations serve one of two purposes 1 to inform e.g., knowledge transfer, classroom instruction or 2 to persuade e.g., convincing others to adopt a design approach or accept the results of an evaluation process . Subject Matter Expert s SMEs , individuals who are well versed in the topic being presented, generally make technical presentations. Audiences may range from highly technical fellow engineers and technologists to non technical, and part of the challenge of preparing and presenting technical material is gauging the knowledge level of the audience. One reason for this is that, unlike other public speaking occasions, technical presenters are not usually expert presenters. Instead, they re usually experts in the material, but not in projecting, engaging the audience, demonstrating enthusiasm, using humor and other best practices successful presenters use. They may have little or no preparation for, or background in, public speaking , yet they are required to do so. Often they present material as if the material should speak for itself, no additional enthusiasm or expression required. In his book, Presentations for Dummies, Malcolm Kushner s chapter on Technical and Financial Presentations includes comments by Dr. David Haussler , the mastermind of the human genome project and an expert on technical presentations. Dr. Haussler says that enthusiasm is the most important element of a technical presentation. Enthusiasm and belief in what you are trying to convey are more important than the technical details, says Dr. Haussler. You can be technically perfect, but if you re not enthusiastic about what you re saying, people will fall asleep or walk out. They ll never remember it. References ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2009 A technical decision is a term used in boxing when a fight has to be stopped because of a headbutt. In boxing fights, referees have to pay deep attention to the action going on between the fighters, especially when the two combatants are fighting close to each other. This is because, in the case of a cut, the referee must decide whether the cut was caused by a punch or by a head collision. Only the referee can make that decision. Most head collisions in boxing are probably unintentional, especially when both boxers are trying for a knockout , many times getting involved in close range fights. If a boxer intentionally butts an opponent s head, this is considered a flagrant foul that could result in disqualification of the offender. In the case of a cut to the head, it is the referee s responsibility of taking the injured boxer to a Medicine medical doctor seated at ringside as many times as the referee thinks necessary, regardless of the referee s decision of the cut being provoked by a punch or not.
