To do a gastric bypass, the surgeon makes a small pouch, called a gastric pouch, in the upper part of the stomach. The pouch is about the size of an egg or golf ball. The surgeon also separates the upper part of the small intestine from the middle part of the small intestine. The middle part of the small intestine is then attached to the gastric pouch. This directs food into the middle part of the small intestine, instead of the lower part of the stomach. 2, record 1, English, - gastric%20pouch

Requiring none of the expense or vast open space necessary for regular golf, clock golf required only a bit of lawn and the equipment supplied in this set : 12 numbers, a ball, and a club. Players placed the 12 numbers along the edge of a circle to represent the face of a clock. After making a hole at any point within the circle, players went from number to number, trying to putt the ball into the hole; whoever completed the course with the fewest strokes won. 3, record 2, English, - clock%20golf%20set

Au golf, on donne des noms aux coups selon a) l'endroit duquel la balle est frappée : un coup initial sur un tertre de départ, un «coup de départ» (tee shot); sur l'allée, un «coup d'allée» (fairway shot); sur le versant d'une colline ou le long d'une allée en cascade, un «coup dénivelé» (sidehiller shot); depuis le haut d'une colline, un «coup en aval» (downhiller shot); depuis le bas d'une colline, un «coup en amont» (uphiller shot); sur le tablier (ou la lisière) du vert ou à proximité de celui-ci, un «coup d'approche» (approach shot), ce dernier coup pouvant soit 1. faire décrire à la balle un lob ou arc élevé pour que, avec un effet de rétro, elle s'arrête dès qu'elle touche le vert, un «coup d'approche lobé», ou «coup bombé», ou son générique, «coup d'approche-retenue» (pitch shot); soit 2. faire décrire un léger arc à la balle pour qu'elle roule sur le vert en y parvenant, un «coup coché», ou «coup calotté», ou son générique, coup d'approche-retenue) chip shot, dit aussi : pitch-and-run); soit 3. imputer à la balle juste la force nécessaire pour rouler jusque sur le vert, un «coup d'approche roulé»; ou b) la façon dont la balle est frappée : avec force, un «coup massé» (punch shot); avec une trajectoire en hauteur pour sortir d'une fosse de sable, de l'herbe haute ou d'un obstacle d'eau, un «coup éjecté» (explosion shot); ou avec une forte ou douce poussée du fer droit pour atteindre la cible sur le vert, un «coup roulé» ou «un roulé» (a putt). 2, record 12, French, - coup

For play the grass is cut short, lower than two inches, and has the appearance of a golf green, although a grass court must be much sturdier to resist running and sliding. Because the bounce is low and the ball skids and skips, the grass-court game is extremely fast, favoring an attacking player with strong serve and volley who gets to the net quickly. This contrasts widely with the clay-court game and its premium on base-line play. 5, record 15, English, - grass%20court
