The body weight squat is perhaps the best lower body exercise a person can do. It basically works all the major muscle groups of the thighs, glutes and hamstrings.... Position your feet slightly wider then hip-width apart with your toes slightly turned out. Hold your hands out in front of you at shoulder height. This will counterbalance your weight and help you keep your balance. Slowly and under control, bend your knees and lower yourself down as far as you can without lifting your heels off the floor and then, after a brief pause at the bottom, push your weight back up until you are back at the starting position.

What is snowskating?... it's skateboarding on snow. That's just the most basic explanation out there, but of course there a some more variables.... There is the technical side of snowskating that resembles the street style way of skateboarding with its flips and ollies. At the other end of the spectrum there is the surf-like snowskating style like longboards on snow, where you find your way through deep pow in a flow way of riding. The first snowboard was called the Snurfer which was invented around 1964. It consisted of some sort of small surfboard and a rope in front of the board to hold on too. There were no bindings present, so you could say the first snowboard was actually a snowskate.

In many cases, the A-tool can accomplish the same job as the K-tool. The A-tool may cause slightly more damage to the door than a K-tool, but it will rapidly pull the cylinder. Many locks are manufactured with collars or protective cone-shaped covers over them to prevent the lock cylinder from being unscrewed. The A-tool was developed as a direct result of those lock design changes. The A-tool is a prying tool with a sharp notch with cutting edges machined into it. The notch resembles the letter A. This tool is designed to cut behind the protective collar of a lock cylinder and maintain a hold so that the lock cylinder can be pried out.

Bon nombre de serrures sont dotées de colliers ou de bagues de protection coniques qui les recouvrent pour empêcher de dévisser le barillet de serrure. La conception de la barre arrache-serrure découle directement de ces modifications apportées aux serrures. La barre arrache-serrure est un outil d’effraction composé d’une barre-levier munie d’une tête à deux tranchants en forme de A. Cet outil est conçu pour être inséré derrière la bague de protection du barillet et retenir ce dernier pour permettre de l’arracher.

To complete a distress a seizure of the chattels is necessary. A seizure may be either actual or constructive. It is actual by laying hands on the article, or on one of several articles, and claiming to detain it or them until the rent is satisfied. The most proper manner of making a distress is for the person distraining to go upon any part of the premises out of which the rent issues and take hold of some personal chattel declaring that it is taken as a distress in the name of all goods, or of so much as will satisfy the rent in arrear, and this will be a good seizure of all. No particular form of words is, however, necessary provided the intention is manifest.(13 Hals., 4th, pp. 155-156)

The fashion trend of the day was for the ladies to line their grey cloaks with red velvet, the colours of the British military uniform. In a show of force, [Captain Jonathan] Prescott assembled the women and had them reverse their cloaks and hold their brooms so as the broom handles looked like musket barrels as they marched on the grounds of Capt. Prescott's house. The privateer's thought it was a garrison of British soldiers and wasted no time in hightailing it out of the harbour in their three ships.

DEF

A basic parachute training where the first parachute jump is a freefall descent from at least 10,000 ft with an instructor holding on to each side of the student parachutist.

CONT

Another method for a first jump is called Accelerated Freefall or AFF. With AFF, you actually jump out of an airplane at about 12, 000 ft(3658 m) and free fall for about 40 seconds before you pull the ripcord to open the parachute. During the freefall you have to maintain an aerodynamic body position. To ensure that all procedures are followed correctly, two instructors hold you from the time you jump until parachute opens.

  • Racquet Sports
DEF

The result of hitting the tennis ball with a tennis racquet; sometimes refers to the actual placement of the ball or manner in which it is struck.

CONT

A shot is the combination of a stroke and the situation in which it is used.

OBS

"Long" is an informal expression used to indicate that a shot went out past the baseline. Important nuance: a "stroke" implies early preparation and a complete follow through. If one were to envision a stroke, one would see a series of sequences, ending with a "shot", i.e. the result of all of the above. Consequently, a "shot" is the result of the "stroke". "Shot" implies a quick, sharp movement because one is focusing on the end result, not the series of sequences leading up to it. A "blow" is rather an imprecise, general term similar in meaning to "shot". Although many would like to maintain these nuances in English, "shot" and "stroke" are often used synonymously. "Blow" is used only rarely. Note, however that although there are two possible equivalents ("coup" and "frappe") in French, neither are semantically identical to the English offerings. The Spanish term "pegada" works well as an equivalent for "shot", although technically the term more specifically refers to the actual hitting action caused by the racket coming in contact with the ball, and not to the end result [cause vs effect].

CONT

Keeping your feet wide apart is an important key to maintaining good balance and positioning while moving from shot to shot.

Pluriel : des remonte-pentes.

OBS

remonte-pentes (pl.) : Cette graphie, puisée des Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandées par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, est attestée dans le Petit Robert (2006).

OBS

Le générique «remontée mécanique» englobe les funiculaires, les téléphériques, les télécabines, les télésièges et tous les téléskis de type câble ou tire-fesses. Parmi les tire-fesses, on compte : 1. l'arbalète, téléski à archets ou «remonte-pente en T» qui tracte deux skieurs, chacun des côtés de la barre (ou archet double) les tirant sous les fesses; 2. le téléski à perches ou «remonte-pente en J» dont l'extrémité en forme de J tracte un skieur sous les fesses; 3. le téléski à soucoupes ou «remonte-pente à soucoupe(s)» que le skieur glisse entre ses deux jambes. Dans tous les cas, le skieur se laisse tracter, sans s'y asseoir. À l'origine, les génériques «téléski» et «remonte-pente» désignaient le type de remontée que l'on appelle maintenant «tire-fesses»; ce terme également devenu générique, il y a lieu d'utiliser les termes précis pour rendre les spécifiques correspondant à «T-bar», «J-bar» et «poma lift» ou «button lift».

OBS

Ce type de téléski a déja été considéré comme «débrayable»; ce dernier adjectif désigne maintenant le système qui permet à une télécabine ou un télésiège de ralentir sa course à l'embarquement et au débarquement sur un câble d'appoint au débit ralenti. Dans le cas du poma, la perche ne débraie pas mais se détache du câble de traction pour s'aligner sur une suspension d'évitement; elle se réenclenche au câble tracteur sous l'effet du poids du skieur.

A valve which controls pressure, volume, or flow direction in a fluid transmission system.

CONT

Pneumatic systems are often compared to hydraulic systems, but such comparisons can only hold true in general terms.... Control valves are... a necessary part of a typical pneumatic system.... The control valve consists of a lever with two lobes. [In the off position], a spring holds the left poppet closed so that compressed air entering the pressure port cannot flow to the brakes. [In the on position], one lobe of the lever holds the left poppet open and a spring closes the right poppet. Compressed air now flows around the opened left poppet, through a drilled passage, and into a chamber below the right poppet. Since the right poppet is closed, the high-pressure air flows out of the brake port and into the brake line to apply the brakes. To release the brakes, the control valve is returned to the off position.

It can keep and use separate databases for separate vehicles, tracks, or classes. Some of the really sophisticated stations have a prediction deviation function [which] gives a reliability value of the prediction.

The 3000 adds humidity, dew point and heat stress index.... But for an all out weather station you can hold in the palm of your hand, the Kestrel 4000 provides all of this, in addition to wet bulb, altitude, air density and barometric pressure. Most importantly, 250 of these readings can be recorded in the device's memory and later transferred to the farm computer.... Michael Naughton of Nielsen Keller-man said the company released the 1000 in 1999 with the intention of it being a tool for sailors and outdoor sports and weather enthusiasts. "Farmers are turning out to be a really big part of our business. The 4000 is really popular with them. We were surprised by the demand for little hand-held weather stations, "he said.

You may also consider a slaved HSI. Slaving automatically compensates for gyro heading errors and keeps your HSI in agreement with your compass. It uses a magnetic flux sensor mounted in the wing or tail of your aircraft to sense changes in magnetic heading and sends corrective signals to your HSI.

By tradition, grain ships have been loaded using shipping spouts hung from high galleries on the jetty. Thus, the larger or broader the ship's beam, the higher the gallery. With the advent of even larger bulk carriers, it is becoming fashionable to load grain ships using jetty-mounted ship-loaders with loading booms reaching out over the ship's hold. These ship-loaders, when equipped with telescopic vertical discharge spouts, emit less grain dust since grain is discharged deep down in the hold.

  • Corporate Management (General)
CONT

Modular companies aren’t a fad. Their streamlined structure fits today's tumultuous, fast-moving marketplace. Outsourcing noncore activities yields two advantages : First, it holds down the unit costs and investment needed to turn out new products rapidly. Second, it frees companies to direct scare capital where they hold a competitive advantage. [The idea is to] focus on a core competency and outsource the rest.

OBS

module: a structural unit or component with a specific function in a larger unit or system.

OBS

Using the modular model, companies can achieve rapid growth with small amounts of capital and a compact management.

It is attractive in white thread on a colored background and is useful for decorative purposes on objects that do not have to be laundered. (The Stitches of Creative Embroidery, J. Enthoven, 1964, p. 142).

Suppose you blindfold a man and ask him to hold out his hand, palm up. Now place a weight on his palm; he will certainly notice it. As you add more units of weight, he notices their addition too. But after his palm is carrying a good deal of weight, you can add just as big a weight as you did in the beginning, and yet this time he will reply that he is not conscious of any addition. In other words, the greater the total weight he is already carrying, the less will be the effect of an extra or marginal unit of weight.
