MOVE BACKWARDS [13 records]

Record 1 2025-03-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Rugby
CONT

Once a ruck has formed you can only play the ball with your feet—playing the ball with your hands in a ruck is a penalty—and the offside rules are very strict. You have to join the ruck from behind—if you join from the side, that's a penalty. Rucking players try to push their opponents backwards and move the ball backwards with their feet, making it available for their teammates. Once it's out the back of the ruck, it can be picked up. The rules of the ruck favour the tackled player's team, but if the tackling team successfully push their opponents back and move the ball to their side with their feet, it's their ball. This is called a counter-ruck.

This movement allows for the correct positioning of the saw blade in conjunction with the stone.

As opposed to "fixed bed sawing machine."

CONT

Shiploaders are normally used in pairs with one man operating each loader. Grain is conveyed to the top of the shiploader and falls by gravity through a large spout into the ship's hold. These machines can normally swing from left to right, extend the boom and telescope and rotate the vertical spout. The operator, who sits in a cab mounted on top of the shiploader, can move the loader either up or down or backwards and forwards allowing it to reach into all parts of the ship's hold. Shiploaders are used extensively in many parts of the world.

Les chargeurs de [navire] fonctionnent généralement en paire, chacun sous la conduite d'un opérateur. Le grain, élevé jusqu'au sommet du chargeur, se déverse par gravité dans la cale du cargo, par une grosse goulotte. Ces machines peuvent tourner à droite et a gauche, allonger la flèche et faire pivoter la goulotte verticale. L'opérateur, de sa cabine, peut faire monter, descendre, avancer ou reculer le chargeur et atteindre ainsi toutes les parties de la cale. On utilise largement les chargeurs de bateau dans beaucoup de pays.

X-Y tables are flat tables, usually constructed of aluminum or steel, that move along linear axes at 90°(perpendicular) to each other. They always move on a horizontal plane and are configured so that one is on top of the other. "X" moves from left to right and "Y" moves backwards and forwards, in reference to the operator. Configured in this manner, the tables become a complete positioning system themselves, or they can be incorporated into a larger production system.

What is meant by the inverted pyramid, basically, is that you lay out the facts in descending order of importance. It is the standard narrative, inverted. Instead of beginning with a problem, such as a murder in a mystery story, and ending with the resolution, you tell the resolution in the beginning, then move steadily backwards to where the narrative normally would begin.... A major reason for writing news stories in the inverted pyramid form is so the bottom can be cut without eliminating some crucial detail.

CONT

In the inverted pyramid, ... the first paragraph usually summarizes.
