After all players on both teams have delivered their stones to one end of the rink(an "end"), the stones are scored and then delivered to the opposite end.... Though a match may be played to a stipulated number of points, most are played for a designated number of ends(as 14, 17, or 21).  3, record 1, English, - curling

Le curling oppose deux équipes de quatre joueurs chacune. Une partie est en général de dix «bouts» ou manches. Une manche est complète quand toutes les pierres ont été lancées d'un côté de la piste à l'autre. Durant la manche suivante, les pierres seront lancées dans la direction opposée. Chaque équipe a huit coups par manche. C'est l'équipe dont le pointage accumulé est le plus élevé qui remporte la partie.  3, record 1, French, - curling

The matchlock constituted the first mechanical device for firing.(...) For this improvement(...) two modifications of the hand cannon were necessary : the addition of a pan to hold the priming powder, which replaced the match in setting off the powder charge inside the barrel, and the addition of the serpentine, holding the match and thus freeing the hand of the shooter or his aide. These original matchlocks did not as yet include the leverage system worked by a trigger and indeed did, not have true "locks". Instead, the serpentine was a simple S-shaped arm pivoted in its center, the lower end serving as a handle by which the shooter moved the device manually.  1, record 3, English, - match

(...) une platine de la forme la plus primitive fut ajoutée au canon à main; elle consistait en une tige en forme de S fixée par un pivot en son milieu de façon que, lorsque l'on tirait en arrière la partie inférieure, la partie supérieure, terminée par des mâchoires serrant un morceau de mèche allumée, venait automatiquement en contact avec le bassinet contenant la poudre d'amorce. Le tireur pouvait ainsi tenir son arme des deux mains et faire feu en agissant avec le doigt.  2, record 3, French, - m%C3%A8che

For projects using brick, make certain you have a brick trowel, brick chisel, mason's hammer, 4 ft. level, tape measure, pointing trowel, jointing tool, mason's line, wood line blocks and spirit level. The height and thickness of your walls are always important... Be sure to leave a space between bricks for your joint. This method is best to determine the spacing of your bricks. Then, drive a stake in the ground at both ends of your wall and stretch mason's line between them. The line will serve as a straight line guide and should mark the outside edge and top of your first course of bricks. Later, as you proceed, the guideline can be moved up to match each successive course of bricks. Line blocks can be used to hold line in place... When laying bricks, always start at the corners and keep the corners higher than the rest of your work. Work from the corners toward the center of your wall. Use the level frequently to check level and plumb. As the wall increases in height, move the line blocks up to the ends of your corner lead.  2, record 5, English, - line%20block
