CONT

And long before today's Cyber Monday — the U. S. shopping phenomenon following hot on the heels of Black Friday — became an annual American Thanksgiving marketing blitz to encourage consumers to go online for their bargains.

DEF

[...] jornada en la que los comerciantes de Estados Unidos y otros países lanzan ofertas y promociones para aumentar las ventas por internet[,] suele celebrarse el primer lunes después de Acción de Gracias.

OBS

ciberlunes: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el término "ciberlunes" es adecuado en español para referirse a lo que en inglés se llama "Cyber Monday" [...] Puesto que en español el elemento compositivo ciber- se escribe con i latina, la grafía adecuada de este sustantivo es "ciberlunes", y no "cyberlunes". Además, se escribe en una sola palabra, no "ciber lunes", pues en español los términos que comienzan con elementos compositivos se escriben unidos [...] Aunque en sentido estricto no se trata de un nombre propio ni de una festividad —⁠lo que lleva a escribir esta expresión con inicial minúscula—, puede percibirse como el nombre propio de una campaña comercial. En este caso no resulta inadecuado escribirlo con inicial mayúscula ("Ciberlunes").

Rusty tussock moth.... Larvae attack all conifer seedling species.... These gregarious caterpillars completely denude a seedling before moving on to the next, and can occur in patches of 5-100 styroblocks.... The adult male is rusty-brown with a white dot and light brown band on each forewing. The female is flightless, sedentary, with light tan hairs covering the body. The population overwinters as white egg masses which can be cemented to the sides and bottoms of styroblocks. They will adhere to the blocks after seedlings have been lifted and blocks washed and stored. Because the eggs are white, they often go unnoticed. Larvae emerge from these egg masses(often on styroblocks) around May, and actively feed on newly emerged seedlings. They are hairy, up to 28 mm long, have two black hair "pencils" projecting forward and one to the rear, four golden brushes of hair on the back, accompanied by eight warty protuberances with yellow and black hairs on each segment.

Tail male general is the same thing as tail male; the word "general", in such case, implying that there is no other restriction upon the descent of the estate than that it must go in the male line.... The word "general", in the phrase, expresses a purely negative idea, and may denote the absence of any restriction, or the absence of some given restriction which is tacitly understood.(Black, 5th, p. 1303)

When selectively updating a small object at a very high rate on a raster screen, an annoying flicker can occur. The flicker is not constant; the small object appears solid at times, and at other times it appears to go black or look like a ghostly image that is hardly there. This phenomenon is known as band flicker.

OBS

Video produced in 1994 by Sneyd Syndicate Inc., Orillia, Ontario. This touching drama describes how a little boy is affected by witnessing his father beating his mother. Seven-year-old Jonathan is having trouble at school. He has a quick temper, a short attention span and he is reluctant to tell anyone what's troubling him. A black-eyed Susan in a bouquet of flowers reminds him of his mother's black eye and his father's violence, so Jonathan refuses to go home. When his mother comes to pick him up, the abuse is revealed, and Jonathan's family gets the help they need. The aim of this film is to show children in similar situations that there are things they can do to help themselves.

  • Racquet Sports
DEF

Width of the racquet frame beam.

OBS

There are many ways of rendering the concept of "profilé" in English. If the width of the profile changes from one spot on the racquet to another, then the term "beam" is preferred, e.g. tapered beam design for the all round game. If one wants to specify that the beam is narrow, regular or conventional (i.e. not a wide-body), the term "frame", as in "narrow frame" or "conventional-width frame" is preferred. When one speaks of a "conventional frame", one implies that the profile or beam is constant, straight and narrow. Related terms: shaft, frame cross section.

CONT

The Dunlop Revelation series features both the isis (Impact Shock Isolation System) vibration dampening system in the handle and the Dual Taper profile. The Revelation Classic is a superlight frame that has a 26-28-19 mm Dual Taper beam. The Revelation Pro 90, with a 23-25-21 taper, is the choice of Dunlop touring pros Wayne Ferreira and John McEnroe.

CONT

Pro Kennex has brought back a fmiliar name for its new 22 mm beam frame.

CONT
