Record 1 2024-10-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • National and International Security
CONT

Security must not be confused with securitarianism, an obsession with security. Of course we need to defend our security, but it cannot go at the expense of the values we stand for. Because there can be no real security without freedom.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sécurité nationale et internationale
CONT

Le sécuritarisme, qui est un appel à plus de contrôle, plus de sécurité, plus d'armées, de polices, de frontières, etc.

Record 2 2011-03-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
CONT

Both players may retreat to a defensive formation when receiving a lob.

CONT

To ensure that you move foreward when at the net(and that you don’t take a long backswing), imagine there is a wall right behind you. Because of this wall, you can’t retreat the only direction you can go is forward... chances of hitting an effective volley are much greater if you stand your ground or move forward rather than if you back up.

PHR

Retreat for a lob.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sports de raquette
CONT

[La tactique des frères siamois.] Lorsque vous montez au filet, votre coéquipier vous suit ou s'y trouve déjà. Si vous devez retraiter vers le fond du court, votre coéquipier vous suit et vice versa. [...] Les coéquipiers retraitent au fond du court pour riposter à un lob.

CONT

Les lobs ont [...] un double objectif : d'abord l'adversaire peut être mis en difficulté pour smasher et perdre le point; ensuite cela l'oblige à reculer, à quitter la zone du filet, et facilite donc votre tâche pour le contraindre [...]

CONT

[Le lob oblige] l'adversaire à se replier. Après un lob de l'adversaire, il faut se replacer en arrière de la ligne de fond.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Deportes de raqueta
CONT

En nuestro desplazamiento para interceptar el recorrido de la pelota hacia nosotros es bastante frecuente pensar, por parte de todo principiante, o al menos de muchos, que si la pelota viene muy rápida, hay que retroceder hacia el fondo de la pista, porque se viene encima.

CONT

Si su compañero resta mal, debe retroceder inmediatamente para defender el punto.

Record 3 2010-07-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Track and Field
CONT

The standing throw starts with the athlete balanced over the rear foot, the shot nestled under the chin and positioned behind the right foot ... From this position, the rotation begins with the right foot, proceeding upward through the knee and to the hips ... The rotation continues through the trunk to the shoulders as the release action begins.

CONT

The legs, followed by the trunk and then the throwing shoulder, should initiate the stand throw... Many throwers throw much farther in warm-ups with their stand throw than their full technique and then go on [to] use their full technique in the meet.

OBS

Technique/tactics - throwing events.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Athlétisme
CONT

Record 4 2004-02-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Glaciology
  • Skiing and Snowboarding
  • Polar Geography
CONT

Fresh powder snow soon becomes "skied out", or "tracked out". This is sometimes known as "crud"(although this term is also used for breakable crust)... The problem is that the fresh snow is now packed down in some areas, and piled up in others. So the amount of resistance that your skis encounter is always changing. You need to constantly look ahead and anticipate this. When you’re about to go through a deep pile, push your feet forward slightly. For the firmer sections, stand more in the middle of the ski. Rather than persisting with the short, bouncy turns of true powder, you will be better served in crud by longer, rounder, carved arcs.

PHR

to ride crud

French

Domaine(s)
  • Glaciologie
  • Ski et surf des neiges
  • Géographie du froid
CONT

La neige trafollée est une neige qui a été tracée les jours précédents par des skieurs. Leurs traces ont parfois durci et rendent alors la surface irrégulière et désagréable à skier.
