Le calage. [...] Il caractérise l'action sur un relief : le bord de la semelle de la chaussure (carré interne, externe ou bout de pieds) s'appuie de façon précise sur les «grattons» ou les «réglettes». Son utilisation s'effectue par transfert du centre de gravité au-dessus et légèrement en avant de l'appui afin de prévenir les déséquilibres arrière. Trois paramètres conditionnent l'efficacité de la tenue du calage : la précision du point d'application de la force sur le relief rencontré, la fixité de la cheville, la justesse des alignements appuis-bassin, puis de l'alignement bassin-tronc permet la continuité de la transmission des forces. 2, record 6, French, - calage

Australia and New Zealand commemorate the ANZAC Day public holiday on April 25 every year to honour the bravery and sacrifice of the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps(ANZAC), and of all those who served their country. ANZAC Day is also a public holiday in Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tonga. The ANZAC tradition began in World War I with a landing on 25 April, 1915 near Gallipoli on the Turkish Aegean coast. Because of a navigational error, the ANZACs came ashore about a mile north of the intended landing point. Instead of facing the expected beach and gentle slope they found themselves at the bottom of steep cliffs, offering the few Turkish defenders an ideal defensive position. Establishing a foothold, the Anzacs found an advance to be impossible. After eight months of stalemate the Allies withdrew, leaving 10, 000 dead amongst the ANZACs and over 33, 000 British dead. 1, record 12, English, - ANZAC%20Day
