Balance exercises keep our bodies strong and stable. We should practice it along with other forms of exercise to gain maximum benefit. Balance is required for everything we do, including activities such as bending, walking, running, or even getting up from a chair.

The new French meteorological radar, ROMUALD, has been operational since October 2001 in French Guiana making it possible to gain two hours in forecasting adverse weather conditions. ROMUALD is the first of a series of nine weather radars that, by 2004, will make up a network covering the Greater Caribbean to make better predictions of intense rainfall, and cyclones. The design and operation of ROMUALD("Radar d’observation météorologique d’utilisation aisée localement et à distance")(the easy-to-use local and distance meteorological observation radar) result from the co-operation between Metéo-France and CNES(the French Space Studies Centre [called the "Centre national d’études spatiales"]) [...]

DEF

Strokes played between delivery of service and completion of a point; trading of shots between opponents before someone finally fails to make a return and consequently loses the point.

CONT

If you yourself are forced wide, with your opponent moving to cover a sideline return, a cross court response can put you back in the rally.

CONT

Sampras won the 22-stroke rally with a crosscourt backhand to break Agassi for the set and, as it turned out, to break his spirit as well.

CONT

You can advance the cause of your pairing by improving the ability to use the player nearer the net [net guard] to intervene, or fake to do so, in the exchanges.

OBS

Slight nuance between the English terms "rally" and "exchange". In a "rally", the ball must bounce; the term implies an "exchange" of groundstrokes. One can have an "exchange" of any type of shot, for instance, an exchange of volleys, where the ball never touches the ground. Moreover an "exchange" takes place between points; whereas a "rally" can take place between players simply wanting to hit a few balls without keeping score. In Spanish the term "intercambio" is generic. Therefore it means either "rally" or "exchange", depending on the context - "un intercambio de voleas de cerca, un intercambio de golpes de revés". Furthermore, one can use the term "exchange" in English when referring specifically to the length of a rally, i.e. the number of consecutive balls that pass over the net, as in the phrase "At Wimbledon, there were nary an exchange that exceeded 4 shots".

PHR

Baseline, close-quarter exchange, 10-shot rally. Stroke, tempo of a rally.

PHR

KNEEl JUMP. In this event, the contestant sits on the floor at a given line and must have his/her feet flat on the floor with the bottoms up. From this position, he/she then jumps as far forward as possible, lands on his/her feet, and maintains balance. The contestant is allowed to swing his/her arms back and forth to gain momentum for the leap forward. The practicality of this event comes from the quickness and balance one has to have while being on the moving ice during break up.

Vermicast. Organic Fertilizer... In the crudest sense vermicast is simply organic material that has passed through the gut of a worm. However during this otherwise unglamorous process the castings gain their not inconsiderable potency. The gut of a worm is teeming with bacteria and enzymes with which it digests its food. Huge numbers of these stay with the castings. It is these creatures that release the nutrients locked in the soil and make them available for plants to take up. So the vermicast is full of soluble plant-friendly nutrients, and the capacity to continue it's good work in the soil with the bacteria and enzymes.

acting out : the tendency to express urges, conflicts, and fantasies in uncontrolled action. In acting-out, the individual seeks to release impulses that are usually of a sexual or aggressive nature in order to gain relief from tension or anxiety. For instance, a girl who is afraid of men because of some traumatic family experience, but who refuses to face up to the extent of the trauma during psychotherapy because of increasing fear of it, will begin suddenly to flirt with a number of men. In this way she "proves" to herself and the therapist that she is not afraid of men and therefore does not really need to discover any cause of her fear.

Varian has just released a new extended interaction amplifier(EIA)-the VKB-2400T-that delivers a 1KW minimum peak power output(with a 30 dB minimum gain) at 95 CHz, well into the millimetre waveband. Small and light, the new amplifier provides excellent phase stability, and has already demonstrated up to 2. 3 KW of peak power at 95 CHz. Operating life of the EIA is expected to exceed 5000 hours and it is warranted for 1000 hours of operation.
