The medicine man played the role of mediator between the gods and simple humans. He interpreted dreams, directed all religious ceremonies and dances, questioned the supernatural powers, looked into the future and advised the warriors. Finally he cured the sick, using magic plants, and practised exorcism and magic with incantations related to the Micmac nation’s religious mythology.  5, record 1, English, - medicine%20man

Stylistic synonyms :"medicine man", "pow(w) ow", "predictor" and "shaman". These three terms have all too frequently been used interchangeably, owing to the overlapping job descriptions of each one of these terms. The same can be said of the corresponding French equivalents "sorcier", "guérisseur", "chaman(e) ", "homme-médecine", "sorcier guérisseur", etc. Often an author's selection of one word over that of another is solely based on a particular perspective he wants to impart on his text : by using "medicine", he would emphasize the beneficial powers of the person in question; whereas by using "shaman", a term originally used to refer to a Siberian medicine man, the author would focus on the use of magic in the performance of rituals. Note however that "shaman/chamane" would be the term used by Europeans to describe the occult performed by non-Europeans; it would not be used by native peoples to refer to one of their own kind. As for "powwow", this author does not recommend its use today because of the confusion that might arise, owing to the polysemous nature of the term(could also mean a special meeting). Nevertheless the use of "powwow", a specific native term used by certain aboriginal tribes in the past, could impart an ethnic coloring to a given text if such is desired. The interchangeability of similar terms occurs also in French. Hence, in French, one who heals but is not certified as a doctor is commonly called a "guérisseur"; whereas one who specializes in magic(whether for medicinal purposes or not) is called a "sorcier".  7, record 1, English, - medicine%20man

Winches all have motors that drive or power the drum that spools the wire. An electric winch uses an electric motor. This electric motor is powered by electricity, just like a drill motor. Current changes on opposing poles spin a magnet that powers the motor and turns the winch. Since a winch is so heavy-duty, the electric motor on a winch must be robust with a solid electrical system that can handle a lot of charge. The winch motor also needs to adjust to handle heavier loads.  4, record 6, English, - electric%20winch

Attitude gyros, technically called vertical gyros because of the orientation of their spin axis, do precess, but correction is applied automatically. All attitude gyros have an automatic erection system that drives the gyro back to vertical when it precesses. The erection system detects gravity by means of a pendulous sensor that in turn opens air blast vanes on an air-driven gyro or powers electric torquer motors to drive the gyro back to vertical when it precesses.  3, record 8, English, - electrical%20torquer

The first variant posits retention of an integrated market, essentially as an indirect result of the fact that all provinces would have to exercise their(formally augmented) economic powers in ways acceptable to the United States. The argument is that, in practice, the autonomy of small states is inevitably limited by the power of bigger ones; for example, the dominant position of the United States requires Canada to follow the US lead on stabilization policy, and to conform to US-set rules on trade.  1, record 10, English, - integrated%20market

Selon ce raisonnement, l'autonomie des petits Etats est inéluctablement limitée par le pouvoir des grands; ainsi, la position dominante des Etats-Unis oblige le Canada à emboîter le pas en matière de politique de stabilisation et à se conformer aux règles commerciales des Etats-Unis.  1, record 10, French, - march%C3%A9%20int%C3%A9gr%C3%A9
