The ICBL was launched in October 1992 by a group of six non-governmental organizations : Handicap International, Human Rights Watch, Medico International, Mines Advisory Group, Physicians for Human Rights and Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation. These founding organizations witnessed the horrendous effect of mines on the communities they were working with in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America and saw how mines hampered and even prevented their development efforts in these countries. The International Campaign to Ban Landmines(ICBL) is a global network in over 70 countries that works for a world free of antipersonnel landmines and cluster munitions, where landmine and cluster munition survivors can lead fulfilling lives. The Campaign was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of its efforts to bring about the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty. Since then, we have been advocating for the words of the treaty to become a reality, demonstrating on a daily basis that civil society has the power to change the world. As a member of the Cluster Munition Coalition, the ICBL is engaged in the global effort to ban cluster munitions and to address their humanitarian impact. In December 2006, the ICBL decided to engage extensively in the global effort to prohibit cluster munitions. This marked the first time that the ICBL had become significantly engaged on an issue other than antipersonnel mines. The main reasons for the ICBL' s decision were that cluster munitions inevitably end up leaving behind large numbers of unexploded ’duds’ which behave essentially like antipersonnel mines; that many ICBL members had been already working extensively on cluster munitions; and that international efforts to achieve a global ban on cluster munitions were at a crucial point, a point where the ICBL could have a meaningful impact. 1, record 10, English, - International%20Campaign%20to%20Ban%20Landmines

La Campagne internationale pour interdire les mines (ICBL) a été lancée en 1992 par 6 organisations : Handicap International, Human Rights Watch, Medico International, Mines Advisory Group, Physicians for Human Rights and Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation. Témoins des conséquences dramatiques des mines antipersonnel sur les communautés avec lesquelles elles travaillent en Afrique, en Asie, au Moyen-Orient et en Amérique Latine, ces organisations réalisent qu'une solution à la crise des mines antipersonnel doit être trouvée et que cette solution n'est autre qu'une interdiction totale de ce type d'armes. En tant que réseau, nous jouons essentiellement un rôle de surveillance et de plaidoyer : nous élevons les voix de la société civile afin que nos préoccupations soient entendues par les décideurs / preneurs de décision. Au travers du rapport annuel de l'Observatoire des mines, nous contrôlons et évaluons la réponse apportée par la communauté internationale au problème global des mines et des restes explosifs de guerre. Nous plaidons pour : L'adhésion universelle au Traité d'interdiction des mines et à la Convention sur les armes à sous-munitions; La mise en œuvre complète et le monitoring de ces deux traités; Le financement adéquat du déminage humanitaire et des programmes de sensibilisation aux risques, ainsi qu'une efficacité accrue dans ces domaines; L'assistance aux survivants, à leurs familles et leurs communautés et ce, de manière significative et durable. Nos activités : Nous participons et contribuons de manière experte aux mécanismes du Traité tels que les Réunions des États parties et les Réunions intersessionnelles des Comités Permanents. Nous nous prononçons contre et condamnons l'utilisation des mines et des armes à sous-munitions et appelons les États non parties à adhérer aux traités. Afin de garder les problématiques des mines et des armes à sous-munitions au plus haut à l'agenda des gouvernements, nous entreprenons des actions auprès des médias, du grand public et entretenons des contacts directs avec les gouvernements. Nous menons un travail de recherche et produisons le rapport de l’Observatoire des mines qui a pour objectif de surveiller la mise en œuvre et le respect des dispositions du Traité ainsi que d’évaluer les efforts entrepris par la communauté internationale pour résoudre le problème des mines et restes explosifs de guerre. 1, record 10, French, - Campagne%20internationale%20pour%20interdire%20les%20mines

Rules : There are 3 teams, each with a different color jersey.... There are 4 players on each team... The players on the defensive teams form a square around the ball. This same square constantly follows all the movements of the ball. Each player is responsible for a corner of the square and is situated about 10-12 feet from the ball. The ball starts in the middle and one team sets up a serve. The serving formation is as follows; 2-4 players kneel down facing each other with heads down and arms outstretched. The ball is placed on their outstretched arms. The server approaches the ball and says "Omnikin" and another color(example : Omnikin Red!) before striking the ball with the fist in an upward motion. When the color is announced and the ball is in the air, the corresponding team must catch the ball before it hits the ground. If successful, that team sets up the serve immediately. If the team does not catch the ball before it touches the ground, then one point is awarded to each of the other teams on the court and that same team serves the ball. 3, record 13, English, - Kin%2DBall%C2%AE%20sport

Ce qu'il faut pour jouer au Kin-Ball® : Un gymnase, un ballon léger et surdimensionné (1,22 mètres de diamètre!) [et] trois équipes de quatre joueurs [...] Les règles du jeu sont simples. Chaque équipe porte des dossards d’une couleur différente. L’équipe qui détient le ballon doit attaquer l’une des deux équipes adverses en l’appelant par sa couleur. Pour ce faire, elle frappe le ballon à un endroit stratégique du terrain de façon à ce que l’équipe attaquée ne soit pas en mesure de le récupérer. Les joueurs qui se défendent de cette attaque doivent absolument éviter que le ballon touche le sol en utilisant n’importe quelle partie de leur corps. S’ils échouent, le point est accordé aux deux autres équipes. S’ils réussissent, c’est à cette équipe d’en attaquer une autre, et le jeu se poursuit ainsi jusqu’à ce qu’il y ait un point ou une faute commise. Tout le plaisir du jeu réside dans l’utilisation de différentes tactiques pour tenter de déjouer les équipes adverses. 1, record 13, French, - sport%20Kin%2DBall%C2%AE

The designer [of a show jumping course] can choose from a wide range of jumps that fall into three main categories : uprights, spreads, and triples. Uprights are jumps with the elements placed one above the other. An example is the post and rail, which has poles placed one above the other between two posts. This jump can generally be made higher or lower by adjusting the rests or cups on to the posts. A spread in an obstacle set up so that the horse has to jump both height and width. Spreads include the well-known water jump, the double oxer(two sets of uprights with a hedge sandwiched between), and the hog's back(three parallel rails, with the middle rail higher than the other two). The most common triple is the triple bars, which has three poles on separate supports. The poles are set [at] different heights, with the lowest one at the front. The jumps looks a bit like a staircase. Combinations are two or more jumps placed so close together that the horse can take only one or two strides between each one. Three jumps is the maximum in a combination. 4, record 21, English, - pole

Le concepteur [d'un parcours de saut d'obstacles] peut choisir parmi une vaste gamme d'obstacles qui se divisent en 3 principales catégories : les obstacles droits, larges, et triples. Les obstacles droits ont des éléments placés les uns au-dessus des autres. C'est le cas, par exemple, de la stationata. Les barres horizontales superposées sont soutenues aux extrémités par 2 poteaux. On peut normalement hausser ou abaisser cet obstacle en ajustant les supports sur les poteaux. L'obstacle large fait sauter le cheval en hauteur et en largeur. Parmi les obstacles larges, on retrouve la fameuse rivière, l'oxer double (2 plans de barres parallèles avec une haie entre les 2) et l'obstacle de volée (3 barres parallèles, l'élément du milieu étant supérieur aux 2 autres). Les triples barres constituent l'obstacle triple le plus répandu. Les barres sont disposées en escalier, c'est-à-dire que la plus basse est devant. Les combinaisons sont formées de 2 ou plusieurs obstacles distancés de façon à ce que le cheval ne puisse prendre qu'une ou 2 foulées entre chacun d'eux. Une combinaison peut comporter un maximum de 3 obstacles. 3, record 21, French, - barre

Found in Wales and Scotland, in England where it borders those two, and in the area around Omagh, Northern Ireland, the Old Red Sandstone is a huge set of sedimentary rocks(primarily brown and red, giving it its name) dating to the Devonian. It is a marine formation, having been laid down from 408 to 370 million years ago as earlier Silurian rocks uplifted by the formation of Pangaea eroded and slid into a body of fresh water(probably a series of large river deltas). They are extremely thick, up to 11, 000 meters in places, and can be subdivided into three categories "Lower", "Middle", and "Upper" from oldest to youngest. As a result, the Old Red Sandstone is a rich source of marine fossils. 4, record 25, English, - Old%20Red%20Sandstone

Passive Aeration Windrow Composting.... PAWS [Passively Aerated Windrow System] has two essential features, passive aeration and envelopment [...] The air in the middle of a compost pile or windrow is warmed up by the heat generated by oxidation of the waste by the decomposer organisms. Warm air naturally rises upwards and outwards of the composting mass. As nature abhors vacuum, the warm air is replaced by cooler air mostly from or through other parts of the compost, setting up a mostly internal circulation until the air is almost uniformly warm and oxygen-deficient thus creating anaerobic pockets that generate malodours. 3, record 29, English, - passive%20windrow%20composting

The American Space Agency Nasa... is putting several million dollars into the project under its advanced concepts programme. At the heart of a space elevator would be a cable reaching up as far as 100, 000km from the surface of the Earth. The earthbound end would be tethered to a base station, probably somewhere in the middle of the Pacific ocean. The other end would be attached to an orbiting object in space acting as a counterweight, the momentum of which would keep the cable taut and allow vehicles to climb up and down it. A space elevator would make rockets redundant by granting cheaper access to space. At about a third of the way along the cable-36, 000 km from Earth-objects take a day to complete a full orbit. If the cable's centre of gravity remained at this height, the cable would remain vertical, as satellites placed at this height are geostationary, effectively hovering over the same spot on the ground. To build a space elevator such a geostationary satellite would be placed into orbit carrying the coiled-up cable. One weighted end of the cable would then be dropped back towards Earth, while the other would be unreeled off into space. Mechanical lifters could then climb up the cable from the ground, ferrying up satellites, space probes and eventually tourists. The biggest technical obstacle is finding a material strong but light enough to make the cable; this is where the carbon nanotubes come in. These are microscopically thin tubes of carbon that are as strong as diamonds but flexible enough to turn into fibre. In theory, a nanotube ribbon about one metre wide and as thin as paper could support a space elevator. 2, record 33, English, - space%20elevator

La NIAC (Institut des Concepts Avancées de la NASA) a publié une étude fin 2002 sur tous les aspects d'un système d'ascenseur spatial, de la construction aux opérations. Premièrement, l'ascenseur serait constitué d'un câble d'une longueur de 91 000 km et d'un diamètre variant de 1 micron à 11.5 cm. Ce filin serait mis en orbite à l'aide d'une navette spatiale aidée de quelques propulseurs supplémentaires, qui, une fois en orbite géostationnaire, serviraient de contrepoids. Les forces centripètes repousseraient alors la partie haute du filin vers l'espace tandis que la partie basse serait attirée par la Terre, mettant le tout en tension. Ce premier lien serait capable d'envoyer plus d'une tonne en orbite. Il suffira ensuite d'utiliser ce premier câble pour en mettre en orbite de nouveaux. Ces filins seront constitués de nanotubes de carbone. Le plus gros défi technologique serait de construire 91 000 km de nanotubes car aujourd'hui la technologie ne permet d'en construire que quelques centimètres. Le ratio actuel nanotube/résine epoxy est de 60/40. Il faudra réussir à descendre à 98/2. Les principaux risques liés au transport par ascenseur seront dus aux météorites, aux ouragans ou aux attaques terroristes. Le filin pourra être réparé in-situ. Ce système ne nécessiterait pas de maîtriser la fusion nucléaire. De simples batteries et panneaux solaires suffiront à alimenter l'ascenseur. La plupart des technologies nécessaires existent déjà ou existeront dans le court terme. Les prévisions actuelles prévoient un budget de 7 à 10 milliards sur 15 ans. 2, record 33, French, - ascenseur%20spatial

What is the lower atmosphere? The troposphere [and] the stratosphere... What is the middle atmosphere? The mesosphere is the layer of neutral atmosphere below the thermosphere, extending from around 50 kilometers above the Earth's surface to around 80 kilometers. The composition of the lower and the middle atmosphere is remarkably constant up to around 70 kilometers, comprising approximately 78% Nitrogen, 20% Oxygen, and the remainder small quantities of Argon, Carbon Dioxide and Water Vapour, and traces of Helium, Neon, Krypton, Xenon, Methane and Hydrogen.

L'air y garde une composition identique à celle de la basse atmosphère (hormis le cas de l' ozone et celui de l'eau, réduite à un gaz à l'état de traces) et voit ses mouvements régis par les mêmes lois qu'elle. Cependant, les réactions photochimiques induites par la présence d'ozone stratosphérique fournissent à l'air un apport de chaleur, de sorte que lorsqu'on s'élève dans la stratosphère, la température devient d'abord constante, puis se met à croître; ce n'est que plus haut, dans la mésosphère, que le profil thermique vertical est à nouveau décroissant. 2, record 34, French, - atmosph%C3%A8re%20moyenne

Fresh powder snow soon becomes "skied out", or "tracked out". This is sometimes known as "crud"(although this term is also used for breakable crust)... The problem is that the fresh snow is now packed down in some areas, and piled up in others. So the amount of resistance that your skis encounter is always changing. You need to constantly look ahead and anticipate this. When you’re about to go through a deep pile, push your feet forward slightly. For the firmer sections, stand more in the middle of the ski. Rather than persisting with the short, bouncy turns of true powder, you will be better served in crud by longer, rounder, carved arcs. 2, record 35, English, - crud

Looking like an oversized white gauze bandage, the surgical zipper is a polyester patch with a polyethylene zipper running down the middle. The underside is coated with an adhesive like a Band-Aid. To close an incision, the surgeon peels off the paper strip exposing the adhesive, and places one edge on each side of the wound. While gently putting up on the tab, the surgeon pulls the zipper shut; as the zipper comes together so too do the edges of the skin. The process takes less than two minutes. 1, record 44, English, - surgical%20zipper
