A flintlock has three positions for the hammer: uncocked, half-cocked and fully cocked. In the fully cocked position the gun is ready to fire. If the trigger moves the sear just a bit, it releases the tumbler. In the half-cocked position you can load the gun. The trigger is locked in the half-cocked position and cannot release the tumbler ... After you fire the gun, it is in the uncocked position. 3, record 1, English, - half%2Dcocked

In a galaxy, roughly once every ten thousand years, a star gets disrupted by the strong tidal forces of [a] central supermassive black hole. About half of the stellar debris continues on its original trajectory, while the other half becomes gravitationally bound and falls back towards the black hole. The accretion of this bound stellar material causes a short-lived flare of emission, known as a tidal disruption event(TDE). 3, record 4, English, - tidal%20disruption%20event

The range of manoeuvre is very wide. Perhaps the most basic is the "kick turn". This enables a rider to do a 90 degree turn on the spot. It can be done on either a stationary or a moving board. The back foot should be right at the tail of the board with the front foot about half way along.

The facility houses a large pneumatic cannon (10-inch barrel diameter, measuring approximately 75 feet in length) employed to propel birds to their targets in order to simulate bird strikes with aircraft components. Aircraft components typically impacted include windshields, wings and empennage leading edges. 4, record 12, English, - flight%20impact%20simulator

NRC' s [National Research Council of Canada] flight impact simulators or bird guns have three parts : a storage reservoir(tank at the back) pressurized to the test pressure; a step chamber(half of the reservoir's pressure) ;and a barrel with sabot arrestor. The sabot, which holds the projectile, must withstand the launch, protect the projectile and crush the muzzle arrestor so that nothing but the projectile continues on to the target. Adjusting the thickness of the sabot lining helps various sizes of projectiles to fit in the barrel. The firing mechanism uses a double diaphragm method. Each diaphragm is made of very thin plastic material(Mylar). 2, record 12, English, - flight%20impact%20simulator

Le passage dans l'eau : le rameur porte son corps en arrière. Les jambes poussent en chassant le siège mobile vers la proue, puis tire vers soi l'aviron (ou les avirons). Lorsque la course du siège est achevée, l'aviron se trouve contre la poitrine.

The melon's roots can be traced back to varieties brought over by French settlers in the seventeenth century. In its heyday, half a century ago, the Montreal melon was the Queen of Melons. Its delicious, green flesh was prized in the fancy dining rooms of New York and Boston, where customers would pay a big price for the pleasure of eating just a single juicy slice. A 1938 handbook Vegetables of New York claimed that "handled skillfully and intelligently, the melon produces the largest fruits of its type in American cultivation. "A single melon could easily reach 15 pounds! And its unique spicy flavour was the reason it was also known as "The Montreal Nutmeg Melon. " 2, record 28, English, - Montreal%20melon
