Two developments that had an especially important impact [on music in the 1960s] were quotation music and minimal music. The former, which involved the use of earlier music as material for new compositions, represented an idea with a long tradition in Western music. Quotation had been a standard procedure during the medieval and Renaissance eras and it persisted in occasional use throughout the common-practice period.... Quotation music of the 1960s was set apart, then, not so much by how pervasive it was(though it was certainly that) but by the fact that the borrowed material consumed such a large portion of the musical structure that its "foreign" nature was emphasized to such a marked degree.... Not uncommonly, entire compositions were made up of quotations. 2, record 1, English, - quotation%20music

The principal environmental impact of driftnets is related to the bycatch of non-target species. In general, driftnets have a high degree of size selectivity and can efficiently be regulated by mesh size. Few alternative fishing methods are available to catch the species targeted by driftnets, and the impact for some of these gears is controversial. Solutions are proposed to mitigate the environmental impact of driftnet fisheries by alternative fishing gears and improvement of selectivity. 2, record 3, English, - driftnet%20fishery

The yoke is the back part of the shirt that connects neck and shoulders and may assume a variety of shapes and patterns depending on the shirt model. Commonly, the yoke is made of one piece of fabric. However, on custom shirts, it makes sense to have a split yoke so the varying degree of your sloped shoulders can be accommodated correctly. Also, a split back yoke can help to match the shirt pattern on the sleevehead. A split yoke is also often used on higher end [ready-to-wear] shirts, but since they are symmetrical, the impact is limited. 2, record 4, English, - split%20back%20yoke

Orthotherapy is the specialization of kinesitherapy. This profession aims at relieving muscle pain and joint stiffness, often resuting from improper posture, abrupt movements, accidental falls, impact trauma, accidents and even the lack of physical activity. Requiring a higher degree of specialization than kinesitherapy, Orthotherapy is primarily concerned with determining the nature of disorders, based on extensive knowledge and understanding of the functioning of musculoskeletal and organic systems. 1, record 14, English, - orthotherapy

L'orthothérapie est la spécialisation de la kinésithérapie. Elle est une profession qui vise à soulager les douleurs musculaires et les raideurs articulaires souvent dues à des défauts de posture, à des gestes brusques, à des chutes, coups, accidents et même, au manque d'activité physique. Plus spécialisée que la kinésithérapie, l'orthothérapie a comme rôle d'identifier la nature du problème en approfondissant et en comprenant le fonctionnement des systèmes organiques et du musculo-squelettique. 1, record 14, French, - orthoth%C3%A9rapie
