A traditional bread type of West Germany is known as pumpernickel ... This bread originated in Wesphalia and is made from a coarse rye meal, often flavoured with caraway and sour, and baked in steam for long periods of from five to six hours. The dough pieces are batched together for baking. This produces a heavy, dark and extremely well-keeping bread with a pronounced sour flavour. Commercially, pumpernickel is made in large 4 to 4.5 kilogram units and then sliced and packaged in smaller units. 1, record 1, English, - pumpernickel

Un des pains traditionnels de l'Allemagne de l'Ouest est le «pumpernickel», [...] ce pain est originaire de Westphalie et on le prépare avec de la farine de seigle grossière, souvent aromatisée avec du cumin et du lait sûri, et cuit longuement à la vapeur durant 5 à 6 heures. Les pâtons sont enfournés l'un contre l'autre pour la cuisson. On obtient ainsi un pain dense, foncé, qui se conserve très bien et dont la saveur aigre est prononcée. Dans le commerce, on produit le «pumpernickel» en gros pain de 4 à 4, 5 kilogrammes et on le tranche et on l'enveloppe en formats plus petits. 2, record 1, French, - pumpernickel

A traditional concept of international relations which asserts that peace among nations rests upon a delicate international equilibrium, or international distribution of power, and that whenever one state (or group of states) becomes too strong and powerful (which could potentially upset that balance), other states are duty bound to diminish the power and the influence of that state (or states) by any means possible, including war. 1, record 5, English, - balance%20of%20power
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Since balance of power sometimes means equilibrium, and sometimes means disequilibrium, it is not too surprising to learn that it sometimes achieves a position of majestic neutrality and consents to mean either one. In this usage, the balance of power becomes the equivalent of "the distribution of power"; just as temperature refers to a thermal situation, whether it be hot or cold, so balance of power refers to the power situation, whether it be balanced or unbalanced. 3, record 5, English, - balance%20of%20power
