Squirrels mainly travel between the tree crowns. Wherever trees are too far apart, as is the case around roads, they venture onto the ground. As six roads cross through the Gijsbrecht van Aemstelpark, squirrels would end up as road kill victims. To put an end to this situation, six squirrel bridges were created in 2012. In places where several squirrels had been run over, rope bridges were created to give squirrels safe passage between the tree crowns on either side of the lane. 2, record 1, English, - squirrel%20bridge

What is snowskating?... it's skateboarding on snow. That's just the most basic explanation out there, but of course there a some more variables.... There is the technical side of snowskating that resembles the street style way of skateboarding with its flips and ollies. At the other end of the spectrum there is the surf-like snowskating style like longboards on snow, where you find your way through deep pow in a flow way of riding. The first snowboard was called the Snurfer which was invented around 1964. It consisted of some sort of small surfboard and a rope in front of the board to hold on too. There were no bindings present, so you could say the first snowboard was actually a snowskate. 2, record 7, English, - snowskating

Kernmantel ropes... are either static, which means the rope has no stretch, or they are dynamic which means that the rope has a shock absorbing capacity.... static rope is sometimes used for rope runners or as accessory cord. Static rope does have its uses in specific situations such as abseiling prusiking, or for example, when cleaning new routes, when it can be important not to have a stretchy rope which will rub over sharp edges in a swing motion, and can easily cut through. However, whilst static ropes do not stretch as a climber bounces during abseiling, they do vibrate from side to side which can cause fraying. 2, record 8, English, - static%20rope

At the heart of the repulping operation is the pulper itself. The most common design, illustrated schematically in Figure 14-3, is the low-consistency pulper with ragger and junker, which is usually run at 5-8% consistency, and may be operated in either continuous or batch mode. Strings, wires and rags are continuously withdrawn from the stock as a "debris rope". Initially, a few "primer wires" are rotated in the stock to start the rope, after which the rope builds on itself. Heavy objects are thrown into a recess at the side of the pulper by centrifugal force; this material is usually removed from the "junking tower" by a bucket elevator or grapple. 1, record 18, English, - debris%20rope

Le recyclage des vieux papiers fait appel à un triturateur en continu équipé d'un tire-toron et d'un extracteur de débris (...) Les cordes, fils métalliques et torons sont extraits en continu de la suspension sous forme d'un "câble de débris". On commence par placer dans la préparation de pâte quelques fils métalliques servant d'amorce pour démarrer la formation du câble qui se continue par la suite. La force centrifuge projette les objets lourds dans une cavité sur la paroi du triturateur; ces matières sont évacuées de la "tour à débris" au moyen d'un élévateur à godets (...) 1, record 18, French, - c%C3%A2ble%20de%20d%C3%A9bris
