A spoiled mouth is one which reacts falsely to the indications of the bit, whatever may be its sensibility otherwise. Horses with very tender mouths or mouths rendered excessively callous by bad bitting and indifferent riders usually come under this class. Aside from the effects produced by variations of temperament in the horse, it is the bars that must be examined for an explanation of these varieties of mouth, for it is upon these more or less sensitive gums that the action of all bits fall to a greater or less extent. 2, record 3, English, - spoiled%20mouth

L'échelle de psychopathie (PCL-R). Hare a développé une procédure d'évaluation qui permet de mesurer les composantes affectives, interpersonnelles et comportementales de la psychopathie reliées de près aux conceptions traditionnelles du trouble telles que celles de Cleckley (1976) et de McCord et McCord (1956). Cette procédure est une entrevue semi-structurée consistant à interviewer le participant sur différents domaines de sa vie. Elle a pour avantage une meilleure identification des tentatives de simulation et de manipulation de la part de participants pouvant être habiles à duper. Elle s'accompagne d'une échelle, appelée Échelle de Psychopathie de Hare. 1, record 6, French, - habile%20%C3%A0%20duper

A method of grafting grape vines in which the fruitwood cutting is notched at the lower end. The rootstock cutting is also notched, but at the upper end and, most importantly, with a notch design which will allow the fruitwood piece to fit into the rootstock piece like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. After the two are pressed together in a way which causes the cambium layers to remain in tight contact, the couplet is stored on its side in a warm, moist condition for several weeks until a callous forms around the union, sealing it. 2, record 11, English, - bench%20graft
