Personnel Branches were created to enable members of the Canadian Forces in related occupations to identify with each other in cohesive professional groups. These groups are based on similarity of military roles, customs and traditions. They should not be confused with the NDHQ organizational elements, also called branches, such as those responsible to Chief Personnel Careers and Senior Appointments, Chief Air Doctrine and Operations and Chief Engineering and Maintenance. 1, record 3, English, - Legal%20Branch

les branches du personnel ont été créées afin de permettre aux membres des Forces canadiennes (FC) faisant partie de groupes professionnels connexes de s'associer et de former des ensembles organisés, constitués selon la similitude de rôles, de coutumes et de traditions militaires. Il ne faut pas confondre les branches du personnel avec les éléments organisationnels du QGDN, qu'on appelle bureaux en français et «branches» en anglais, comme ceux qui sont sous la direction du Chef - Carrières et nominations supérieures, du Chef - Doctrine et opération aériennes et du Chef - Génie et maintenance. 1, record 3, French, - Branche%20des%20services%20juridiques

Sphinx moths are strong fliers, with a very rapid wing beat. They feed on flowers, much like hummingbirds. Most species feed at dusk or at night; a few feed during the day. Some species have large areas of the wings devoid of scales and resemble bumble bees. Larvae of most species have a soft spinelike process near the posterior end of the body and are often called hornworms; some are pests of tomatoes, tobacco, and other plants ... 4, record 4, English, - hawk%20moths

In Canada and Europe, examples of the Sphingidae family (formerly Smerinthidae) are more commonly called hawk moths, whereas in the U.S.A, the term "sphinx moth" is preferred. However both terms are used in Canada to refer to individual species e.g. pandora sphinx, but bedstraw hawkmoth. 5, record 4, English, - hawk%20moths
