The offload can be one of the most exciting and rewarding skills in the game of rugby union. The ability to deliver an accurate pass while in contact with the enemy is an art form in itself, and leads to high proportion of line break successes for the attacking side who can it execute well. The idea is that attacking play remains fluid and continuous just as the defence is preparing to stop and reset for another phase. The defenders think that the ball is momentarily "dead" after a tackle has been made and that there will be an opportunity to regroup. The offload shows unexpectedly that this will not be the case, and in that small moment there is a chink of light for the attack. 2, record 1, English, - offload

In general, any player whose assigned position is the left or right instead of the center. But more specifically, refers to players whose job is to come into the attack by bringing the ball up the side line(i. e., the wings) and to send good crossing passes into the center. 7, record 2, English, - wing%20player
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Pure "wingers" aren’t used today as much as they used to be. "Wingers" used to be the wide forwards or midfielders (who were sometimes called "withdrawn wingers"). Wing midfielders are sometimes called "winghalfs" or "wingmids" & wing fullbacks are "wingbacks." Today, it is more common to use wingmids or wingbacks to come up to cross the ball than to have wing forwards. "Wingers" who bring the ball up the side are often very fast and excellent dribblers. 7, record 2, English, - wing%20player

A wingback is a member of a football, i. e. soccer team. They play on the left or right wing(that's one or other side of the pitch only), and combine 2 roles. They act as defenders, but also seek to move forward to attack where possible. However, moving forward can create a gap in defence... when the team the wingback is pressing against launches a speedy counter-attack on the break, and gets behind the wingback. 5, record 3, English, - wingback

Catalysis where an electrophilic or nucleophilic group on the peptide chain of the enzyme forms a covalent bond with the substrate.

Many of the examples of covalent catalysis in enzyme-catalysed reactions involve attack by a nucleophilic side chain at an electron-deficient centre in the substrate; such attack is termed nucleophilic catalysis. Examples of nucleophilic catalysis are provided by chymotrypsin and fructose-bisphosphate aldolase, in these cases the nucleophilic side chains are those of serine and lysine respectively. Other types of side chain which have been found to participate in nucleophilic catalysis include cysteine... and histidine.... 3, record 7, English, - covalent%20catalysis

La catalyse covalente est utilisée par certains enzymes pour augmenter la vitesse d'une réaction chimique, en formant un intermédiaire covalent hautement réactif entre l'enzyme et le substrat qui possède une grande probabilité d'entrer dans l'état transitoire; ceci permet au substrat de trouver un passage plus bas pour traverser la barrière d'énergie d'activation. La catalyse covalente est de règle dans les réactions auxquelles participent les coenzymes : ainsi, le pyridoxal-phosphate participe à la décarboxylation oxydative des acides aminés par l'intermédiaire d'une base de Schiff, aisément mise en évidence par son spectre optique caractéristique. La plupart des transferts de phosphyryls à partir de l'ATP exigent une phosphorylation intermédiaire de l'enzyme, en général sur un résidu histidine, etc. 2, record 7, French, - catalyse%20covalente

A situation in which neither side could logically see any gain in attacking the other. Stability in this context has three dimensions : first, that it is unlikely that the balance could be altered to the point that one side believed a deliberate attack would be profitable; second, that massive nuclear exchange would not develop as a result of hasty, ill-founded or desperate decisions during a crisis; and third, that the maintenance of mutual deterrence does not require a competitive resource-consuming arms race. 2, record 16, English, - stable%20mutual%20deterrence

Situation dans laquelle aucune des deux puissances en cause n'a rien à gagner en attaquant l'autre. La stabilité qui résulte de cette situation comporte trois conditions : en premier lieu, il faut que l'équilibre ne puisse être modifié de telle façon qu'une des puissances devienne convaincue qu'une attaque nucléaire préméditée pourrait lui être profitable; en second lieu, il doit n'exister aucun risque qu'en temps de crise internationale une guerre nucléaire massive puisse être déclenchée à la suite d'une décision précipitée, irréfléchie ou désespérée; enfin, le maintien de l'équilibre ne doit pas entraîner une course aux armements dont le coût serait mutuellement épuisant.

Productivity bargaining is the name given to any negotiations between employer and employed by which the employees agree to accept new methods of higher labour productivity in return for some improvement in their pay or conditions of work. No specific technique exists; it is largely a matter of face-to-face negotiation, but it earns its place as a technique because it is conducted as a detailed and systematic attack on the outstanding problems of each side. 1, record 17, English, - productivity%20bargaining
