If the coronary artery in question gets completely blocked by clot, blood flow stops entirely and the full thickness of heart muscle fed by that artery is damaged. This causes a characteristic change on the electrocardiogram(ECG) called "ST-segment elevation. "This type of heart attack is thus called an "ST-elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).

Si l’artère coronaire visée est totalement obstruée par un caillot, la circulation sanguine est interrompue, ce qui endommage toute l’épaisseur du muscle cardiaque alimenté par cette artère. Cette situation entraîne une modification caractéristique sur l’électrocardiogramme (ECG) appelée «élévation du segment ST». Ce type de crise cardiaque est appelé «infarctus du myocarde avec élévation du segment ST (STEMI)». 1, record 1, French, - infarctus%20du%20myocarde%20avec%20%C3%A9l%C3%A9vation%20du%20segment%20ST

Wakefield already has a number of traffic calming devices such as the sidewalk extension at the intersection of Chesnut and Main in the Square... the sidewalk is extended a short distance into the roadway [providing] several benefits to pedestrians. First, it shortens the crossing distance, especially important to slower walkers such as the elderly and folks with children in tow. Next, it gives pedestrians a safe place to see around parked cars to view traffic.

Stand with feet slightly wider than hip width apart and toes pointing out slightly. Squat down and grasp bar with a closed, pronated grip.... First pull phase : lift bar from floor by forcefully extending hips and knees.... Keep elbows fully extended(straight), head in a neutral position and shoulders over the bar. As bar raises, keep it as close to shins as possible. Transition(scoop) phase : as bar passes knees, thrust hips forward and slightly re-flex knees to avoid locking them.... Second pull phase : Forcefully and quickly extend hips and knees and plantar-flex ankles(stand on toes). Keep bar as close to body as possible.... Keep shoulders over bar and elbows extended(arms straight) as long as possible. When lower body joints reach full extension, rapidly shrug the shoulders upward, but do not let elbows flex yet. As shoulders reach their highest elevation, flex elbows to begin pulling body under bar. Continue to pull arms as high and as long as possible.... feet may lose contact with floor. Catch phase : after lower body has fully extended and bar reaches near maximal height, pull body under bar and rotate arms around and under bar. Simultaneously, hips and knees flex into a quarter squat position. Once arms are under bar, lift elbows to position the upper arms parallel to floor. Rack the bar across front of clavicles(collar bones) and anterior deltoids(front shoulder muscles).... Stand up by extending hips and knees to a fully erect position. Downward movement phase : lower bar by gradually reducing muscular tension of arms to allow a controlled descent of the bar to the thighs....

Triangulation Station. - A trigonometrical station, triangulation pillar, trig beacon or trig point is a fixed surveying station for the geodetic surveying and other surveying projects on nearby areas. They are generally known as Trigonometrical stations in North America, trig points in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia and trig beacons in South Africa; triangulation pillar is the more formal term for the concrete columns found in the UK. 2, record 7, English, - triangulation%20station

Trig pillars, or triangulation pillars in full, are concrete pillars usually(but not always) erected on hill or mountain summits. There are several thousand of them in Britain. They were erected by the Ordnance Survey(the government's mapmaking and surveying agency), mostly in the nineteenth century, as part of a painstaking survey of Britain, and they are the base of Britain's maps. Each of them represents a meticulously accurate position and elevation. In these days of aerial and satellite data they are falling into disuse but they are likely to be around for several hundred years yet. 9, record 7, English, - triangulation%20station
