Double jersey fabric is made on a machine with two sets of needles to produce two layers knitted together to make a double thickness. All the loop tops are formed between the two fabrics so the front and back of the fabric look the same as the right side of a single jersey fabric. Double jersey fabric is more stable than single jersey but has less stretch. Both staple and filament yarns can be used. 3, record 1, English, - double%20jersey

The triangle pose, or trikonasana, provides a lateral stretch and tones the spine. It strengthens leg and back muscles and is thought to improve digestion. Starting in mountain pose, spread your legs slightly more than hip distance apart. Stretch your left arm up alongside the left ear, then bend your body to the right, extending the right hand down the right leg. Repeat on the other side. In a more advanced triangle pose, you extend one arm all the way to the floor and the other to the ceiling. 2, record 2, English, - extended%20triangle%20pose

Dans la posture du triangle vers la droite, il faut essayer de garder la jambe droite étirée sans bloquer le genou. Un étirement à l’arrière de la cuisse droite et sur tout le côté gauche devrait se faire ressentir.

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 3, English, - static%20rope

Les alpinistes se servent presque exclusivement de cordes dynamiques, c'est-à-dire élastiques, plutôt que de cordes statiques, très peu élastiques et utilisées surtout en spéléologie. En alpinisme, les cordes statiques servent toutefois en cordes fixes pour «équiper» des sections de parois : les grimpeurs remontent ensuite le long de ces cordes au moyen de poignées spéciales. 1, record 3, French, - corde%20statique

There are probably dozens of Box Canyons in California; this one is a colourful ravine through the Mecca Hills at the east end of the Coachella Valley in the southeast of the state, 40 miles from Palm Springs. The sides are formed by upturned strata-twisted, buckled and eroded, they stretch for about 8 miles along the canyon, which is part of a metamorphic zone associated with the nearby San Andreas Fault. This runs through the Coachella Valley then southeast past the Salton Sea and affects the geology of a wide strip of land at either side. 1, record 4, English, - box%20canyon

The panels are rolled up like window shades at launch and housed in rectangular "blanket boxes" measuring 15 feet by 20 inches. When fully extended, each 15-foot-wide blanket will stretch 110 feet. From the tip of one two-blanket wing to the tip of the other is roughly 240 feet. The blankets include some 32, 400 solar cells covering a quarter of an acre. The blanket boxes are locked to the sides of the P6 truss for launch.
