Intimacy coordination... is an emerging practice in television, film, and theater.... The goal of [intimacy coordination] work is to create a work environment where the actor(s) feels safe performing intimate actions or scenes.... the definition of an "intimate action or scene" can vary. It might have an even broader definition in a college classroom than on professional sets. Typically, intimate actions and scenes might include hugging, kissing, simulated sex, and nudity, for example. Many organizations also include scenes that involve sexual violence. 2, record 1, English, - intimacy%20coordination

The biostromal algal-rich beds were interpreted to have formed primarily through the hydrodynamic accumulation of phylloid algal plates in response to currents and wave action in water depths of 5-10 metres.

One trained and licensed to prepare, manage, and either prosecute or defend a court action as an agent for another and who also gives advice on legal matters that may or may not require court action. Many of the terms listed above may be used interchangeably depending on the jurisdiction. These titles, and the rank and powers attributed to them, vary significantly from province to province and from state to state, thus necessitating a careful check of the pertinent jurisdiction's usage before choosing a term for a legal text. The following trends may be noted. "Lawyer" is a generic term. "Counsel", frequently used in Canada, may be a general term, or may refer more specifically to a lawyer who can plead in court. A "barrister" is a courtroom lawyer as opposed to a "solicitor" who is basically an office lawyer.(In Canada, both of these functions may be carried out by the same person). In some jurisdictions, "attorney" is used as a synonym of "lawyer", but in others, "attorney" becomes synonymous with "solicitor". Moreover, an "attorney-at-law" may sometimes plead in court. "Advocate" is the general word for a lawyer in Roman law jurisdictions(i. e. Quebec). 3, record 7, English, - lawyer

Mixers vary greatly in their design and action on the dough. Some stretch and knead while others cut and pinch, but the remarkable fact is that most mixers, provided that they are sufficiently fast, are capable of bringing dough to an equivalent physical state. Developments in high-speed dough mixing have led to mixers that are bigger(e. g. up to 1000 kilograms of dough capacity), faster, cooler, safer and cleaner. Advances and improvements have largely been a matter of refinement designed to keep pace with customer demands, government regulations, and practical production requirements. Although the horizontal bar mixer remains the most popular commercial design, "spiral" mixers have recently started to enjoy considerable success. 1, record 8, English, - horizontal%20bar%20mixer

Il existe différents types de pétrin qui offrent une grande diversité d'action. Certains étirent et malaxent la pâte tandis que d'autres la découpent et la pincent. Ce qu'il y a de plus remarquable, c'est que, quel que soit leur type, à peu près tous les pétrins donnent des résultats semblables. Les progrès dans le domaine des pétrins à vitesse élevée ont donné lieu au développement de pétrins plus gros (par exemple, jusqu'à 1 000 kilogrammes), plus rapides et plus propres, faits de matériaux qui s'échauffent moins et offrent une plus grande sécurité. Tous les progrès et améliorations sont attribuables en grande partie au désir des boulangers de répondre aux demandes des consommateurs, de respecter les règlements gouvernementaux et de satisfaire les exigences pratiques de la production. Bien que le pétrin à axe horizontal soit encore le type de pétrin le plus utilisé, le pétrin à mouvements en spirale gagne du terrain depuis quelques temps. 1, record 8, French, - p%C3%A9trin%20%C3%A0%20axe%20horizontal
