The throat chakra is the 5th chakra and like its name, it is centered in the throat area of the body. The areas it governs are the throat, mouth, ears, thyroid gland, arms and hands. The fifth chakra rules our abilities for communication, creativity, connection and personal intentions. It is also connected with our ability to communicate through hearing, speaking, and listening. It refers to both normal audible communication and the emotional and mental communication we all use in our relationships. It helps us speak the truth from our inner soul as our spiritual voice, as well as to make good decisions and to come up with good ideas. It is also represented by the color blue.

The camel pose is a great exercise for posture and flexibility. This position stretches the entire front of the body-the ankles, thighs, groins, chest and throat. The camel pose also makes hips more flexible, reducing the risk of hip injury that comes later in life. This pose can improve posture as a result of strengthening the area around the spine. With regular practice of this position, you can eventually develop a long and lean frame.

Record 7 2012-01-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
DEF

The part of a tennis racquet that is held in the hand and covered in tape (grip) or any substance of that kind.

CONT

A tennis racquet is normally held at the end of the shaft called the "grip". The "shaft" is a long structural part of a tennis racket, stretching from the throat area all the way to the butt of the racquet. Only a part of the "shaft" is made for contact with the hand. This part is called the "handle". Nonetheless some authors have confused the issue by making "shaft" and "handle" synonyms by saying that new dampening materials have been incorporated in the "handle", when they really mean "shaft" :"... features Head's Ultrazorb in the handle to dampen vibration and a new contoured grip for more secure feel".

CONT

As the shaft enters the handle it may be covered by an octagonal foam rubber pallet. Frames are balanced with lead put into the pallet during production.

CONT

... a racquet which has two handles ... Single-handed players use the top handle, with the bottom handle providing stability. The off-set handles help players strike the ball further in front of the serve and the forehand. The loop design of the handle dampens vibration ....

Record 12 2004-01-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

A rocket engine is a device in which propellants are burned in a combustion chamber and the resulting high pressure gases are expanded through a specially shaped nozzle to produce thrust. The function of the nozzle is to convert the chemical-thermal energy generated in the combustion chamber into kinetic energy. The nozzle converts the slow moving, high pressure, high temperature gas in the combustion chamber into high velocity gas of lower pressure and temperature. Gas velocities from 2 to 4. 5 kilometers per second can be obtained in rocket nozzles. The nozzles which perform this feat are called DeLaval nozzles(after the inventor) and consist of a convergent and divergent section. The minimum flow area between the convergent and divergent section is called the nozzle throat. The flow area at the end of the divergent section is called the nozzle exit area.

Pressure Formers. Beloit modified their design of suction former to produce the Hydraulic Former.... It had been found that the pressure differential was easier to control when the vacuum system was removed and hydraulic pressure increased within the forming lid. Subsequently, the hydraulic channel was simplified utilizing an adjustable throat as the flow control. The only other operating variables are the area of the roof(which helps to control forming pressure) and the location of the couch roll.

Double overlock seamer.... a sewing machine for performing twin overedging and seaming in one high-speed operation. Specially designed top and bottom variable feed dogs pull the two plies through a three needle stitching area with improved, simplified elements for diverting one ply edge while the other is being overcast. The upright overcast edge of the top ply passes through a tunnel formed through the top feed dog. A guide wall attached to the throat plate guides the top edge away from the bottom overedging station. A guard wall can be attached to the presser foot to keep the turned-up top edge away from the seaming needle. A fiber optic/pneumatic system controls automatic stop, presser foot/top feed retraction and between-work thread cutter functions. Alternative front edge guides facilitate feeding the two plies in registration.
