Record 4 2011-08-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
DEF

To cross intentionally into a partner’s forecourt territory either to volley an opponent’s service return or groundstroke rally shot.

OBS

There is a slight difference between "poaching" and "interception". The first term implies a resolve to move over to one's partner's side of the court, whether one is expecting to make contact with the ball or not. The second term implies less doubt as to whether the ball will come or not. It will come and the player will meet the ball to put it away. In general, the French term "interception" conveys both English meanings. Related terms :cross, switch, to cut to the middle, to pick off the return of service.

CONT

The non-server will attempt to reach the return of serve and place an unplayable first volley; the net player of the receiving team will seek to intercept this first volley to win the point without extending the rally.

PHR

to poach on ad, poach on the serve, poach the service return.

French

An increment of a pricing system for diamonds based on weight threshold.

CONT

CONT

A random selection of three diamonds of equal size carat weight, colour and clarity may vary in price by up to 50%. The reason for this is : the first could be a perfectly proportioned Ideal Cut diamond that would sell at a premium of about 20%; the second could be a nice average diamond of "good proportion and finish;" the third could be a poorly proportioned diamond that was cut to retain enough weight to cross a weight/price threshold.

OBS

Tapeless splicing is used to form face-veneer panels from several pieces. The backs and faces are glued to the cross bands and the core. The edges of the core are planed on the jointer. The core stock is edge glued and cut to panel size by a clipper machine.... All the plies are then ready to be glued into a sheet. Glue is applied to the sheets of veneer as they go through large rollers.... After the glue is applied to the cross-banded layers, core, face, and back panels, the press-gluing operation begins. The use of the giant hot press... is one of the crucial steps in the manufacture of plywood. Extreme pressure and controlled heat are used to cure(set) the adhesive.... After heating and pressing, skinner and trim saws cut the panel edges and stack the panels in one automatic operation....

stake marking the line where a cut or fill meets the original grade.

Slope stakes are set on lines perpendicular to the centerline (one on each side), at the points where the cut and fill slopes intersect the natural ground surface. The sloping of the slope stakes outward allows the eqpt to work to the stake without removing it, indicates the direction of the centerline of the road, and enables the eqpt operators to read the stakes more easily. Slope stakes are placed at 30 M intervals on tangents and at 20 M intervals on horizontal or vertical curves. Wherever a sharp break in the original ground profile occurs, it should also be staked.

The slope stake indicates the lateral limits of cut or fill at a given cross section.
