Tutankamon o Tutankamón: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que las grafías "Tutankamon" o "Tutankamón" son las adecuadas para aludir al faraón egipcio de la dinastía XVIII, no así "Tutankhamon". [...] Así, del inglés "Tutankhamun" el español ha adaptado la forma a "Tutankamon", voz llana que prescinde de la secuencia kh, la cual es ajena a nuestro idioma. Además, tal y como indica la Real Academia Española en su cuenta de Twitter, la grafía "Tutankamón" es posible para reflejar la pronunciación aguda del nombre [...] 1, record 1, Spanish, - Tutankamon

"Zinjanthropus", "Nutcracker Man", Australopithecus boisei. Discovered by Mary Leakey in 1959 at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania (Leakey 1959). Estimated age is 1.8 million years. It is an almost complete cranium, with a brain size about 530 cc. This was the first specimen of this species. Louis Leakey briefly considered this a human ancestor, but the claim was dropped when Homo habilis was found soon afterwards. 2, record 3, English, - nutcracker%20man

Ce qu’ont découvert des anthropologues, et qui s’est mérité la Une de la revue Nature cette semaine, est un crâne ainsi qu’une mâchoire d’une espèce appelée Australopithécus boisei, une sous-espèce d’australopithèque - nos plus anciens ancêtres hominidés connus - dont le premier crâne avait été retrouvé en 1959 dans la Gorge d’Olduvai, en Tanzanie. L’australopithecus boisei est connu pour sa mâchoire massive et pour ses très grandes dents arrière, de la taille d’une pièce de monnaie, qui lui ont valu le surnom de «homme casse-noisettes». 2, record 3, French, - homme%20casse%2Dnoisettes

In recent years, several Correctional Service of Canada institutions have begun to offer treatment programs for low-risk sex offenders. These programs target sex offenders who need only minimal intervention before returning to the community and usually emphasize developing empathy for the victim and preventing recidivism. The Violence Interdite Sur Autrui (VISA) program emerged as an offshoot from these programs. It was developed specifically for men who have sexually abused children for whom they played a significant role (such as father, stepfather, grandfather, uncle or older brother). 1, record 5, English, - Violence%20Interdite%20Sur%20Autrui

Depuis quelques années, plusieurs établissements du Service correctionnel du Canada offrent des programmes de traitement à l'intention des délinquants sexuels à faible risque. Ces programmes visent les délinquants sexuels qui n’ ont besoin que d’une intervention minimale avant de réintégrer la collectivité, et ils mettent ordinairement l'accent sur le développement de l'empathie à l'égard de la victime et la prévention de la récidive. Le programme Violence Interdite Sur Autrui(VISA) est quelque peu différent de ces programmes en ce sens qu'il a été conçu expressément à l'intention des hommes qui ont agressé sexuellement des enfants auprès desquels ils jouaient un rôle significatif(p. ex., père, beau-père, grand-père, oncle ou grand frère). 1, record 5, French, - Violence%20Interdite%20Sur%20Autrui
