infanticidio: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, recomienda no confundir con "parricidio", que representa un concepto más genérico y significa "muerte dada a un pariente próximo, especialmente al padre o la madre". "Infanticidio" apunta a la muerte dada a cualquier niño, sea o no hijo propio. 3, record 2, Spanish, - infanticidio

Some natural substances exist in various mineral forms (polymorphs) and some use of their inversion temperatures can be made in geothermometry. For example, B-quartz inverts to [alpha]-quartz with falling temperature at 573°C. We can determine wether quartz originally crystallized as B-quartz by etching with hydrofluoric acid, and thus decide whether it was deposited above or below 573°C. 5, record 4, English, - beta%20quartz

The forearm shiver is a straight-out shot executed by the defensive lineman using the heel of his hand, and then locking his elbows. The forearm shiver is usually used when he is in pursuit and a back or guard is coming out to get him. He should extend the palm of his hand out and lock his elbow and give him a real jolt and try to knock him off balance and down. 1, record 5, English, - hand%20shiver

Immédiatement après la mise en jeu du ballon, le joueur avance son pied arrière au même niveau que son autre pied. Toutefois, les pieds demeurent écartés. En même temps, il dirige vivement les paumes des mains vers la partie avant des épaules du bloqueur offensif. Au moment du contact, le corps, et les bras se détendent énergiquement. Après le contact, le mouvement de détente se continue en s’exerçant vers le haut. Ainsi, le joueur défensif déséquilibre son adversaire, car il en déplace le centre de gravité. 1, record 5, French, - pouss%C3%A9e%20des%20mains
