Le rabot bélier a [été conçu] en Bavière, pour les couches minces de la mine de Peissenberg, il est utilisable à partir de 0,40 m de puissance, pour des tailles longues et en charbon dur. Il nécessite toutefois un bon toit. Son principe est le suivant : la taille, chassante ou rabattante, avec ou sans remblayage, est inclinée, tête en avant, sur le pendage [...] Un outil, muni de pics [...] et tracté par une chaîne marine, se déplace le long du front. L'énergie cinétique et la pesanteur le font rebondir et les chocs de ses pics abattent le charbon. La chaîne est commandée par deux têtes, chacune de 32 ch, ancrées l'une en voie de tête [...] l'autre en voie de fond [...] 1, record 2, French, - rabot%20b%C3%A9lier

acting out : the tendency to express urges, conflicts, and fantasies in uncontrolled action. In acting-out, the individual seeks to release impulses that are usually of a sexual or aggressive nature in order to gain relief from tension or anxiety. For instance, a girl who is afraid of men because of some traumatic family experience, but who refuses to face up to the extent of the trauma during psychotherapy because of increasing fear of it, will begin suddenly to flirt with a number of men. In this way she "proves" to herself and the therapist that she is not afraid of men and therefore does not really need to discover any cause of her fear. 2, record 3, English, - act%20out
