Although the term "paraglider" generally refers to the entire aircraft assembly, paraglider pilots often used the term "paraglider" in specific contexts as a synonym of "wing" and "canopy," in which case it refers to the self-inflating structure made of non-porous fabric and not to the entire assembly. 6, record 1, English, - competition%20paraglider

Dans la plupart des opérations de coiffure, il faut séparer les cheveux par des raies exécutées à l'aide d’un peigne. Ces raies doivent toujours être faites avec beaucoup de soin car elles sont, en partie, une condition du succès. Les raies permettent de travailler avec précision et netteté. Elles doivent être droites et régulières, qu'elles soient horizontales, verticales ou en diagonale. 2, record 2, French, - raie%20en%20diagonale

"Tilt-up construction ... is a quick, economical method of constructing concrete walls. Wall panels are cast horizontally on the floor slab. Then, once they are strong enough, a mobile crane lifts the panels up and sets them on a foundation. The panels are temporarily braced while the roof and upper floor framing is constructed. An investigation of the incident in North Carolina revealed that the employer had failed to install adequate bracing, and/or had removed temporary braces on several of the tilt-up wall panels, before completing all permanent connections to the structure. ... Ensure that tilt-up panels are properly braced to resist wind and lateral forces. 3, record 3, English, - braced
