 Equine Podiatry | Dr. Stephen O'Grady, veterinarians, farriers, books, articles
Hind limb interference is a gait abnormality that occurs when the medial (inside) portion of a hind foot strikes the opposite hind limb anywhere from the coronet to just below the hock.
As the hind limbs bear weight, the foot rolls off on the outside heel which allows the inside of the foot to move closer to the opposite limb often compounding the problem.
Overreaching is a more severe form of forging where the advancing hind limb approaches the fore limb even faster and the toe of the hind foot lands on the heel bulb of the front foot on the same side before the foot leaves the ground.

Hind also needed to be able to decide if her healer was being honest or not and what legal rights she has being treated by that person.

 Manas: History and Politics, Quit India
Hind Swaraj appeared first in installments in the pages of Indian Opinion, a newspaper founded and edited by Gandhi, and in 1909 was published as a book, though it was proscribed at once by the Government of Bombay.
Throughout, Gandhi remains clear that the replacement of white rulers by brown rulers would be of little consequence to the people if the new set of rulers governed by the same principles, with the same objectives, and with a similar commitment to principles of modern civilization.
There seems even less reason today to view Hind Swaraj as a merely Luddite or romantic document: in its ecological wisdom alone, and in its profound sense that there must be limits to human consumption, wants, and addiction to technological solutions, it remains an enduring and endearing work.

 Hind Limb Weakness in the Ferret - VeterinaryPartner.com - a VIN company!
Hind limb weakness is a clinical sign, meaning that it is an indication of a problem, but not an actual disease entity itself.
The keys here are that the weakness is confined to the hind limbs and the front half of the ferret is bright and alert, there is an absence of a pulse in the femoral vein (found on the inside of the thigh), and the hind legs are considerably colder then the rest of the ferret.
In conclusion, hind limb weakness is a common sign associated with many diseases and it will be necessary to work with your veterinarian to determine the cause and hopefully the treatment for the underlying condition.

 HIND vs. Eurotiger Effectiveness - Point of Existence Forum
While the HIND pilot is coordinating with his gunner, the Eurotiger pilot already knows the targets exact location and is moving in for the attack (being able to choose the angle of attack that much more precisely via that target box).
While it may have a mere third of the missle payload the HIND carries, the crisp vertical response given to the Eurotiger ensures dead on precision with the unguided rockets, no ammo needs to be wasted whatsoever.
Secondly, the HIND pilot is lacking the punch of the Hot3 missles, which ensure it only takes a mere 2-3 more to finish a tank or any other vehicle.

Hind is a simulation of the Soviet Mi-24 helicopter (codenamed "Hind" by NATO and nicknamed "Flying Tank" by Soviet troops), and the followup to Apache.
Gameplay was changed to fit the differences between the fast and maneuverable Apache and the slow and rock-solid Hind - Instead of relying on speed, Hind pilots must be prepared to take all openings possible to attack and focus on avoiding missile fire (as the hull can take machine gun and even cannon rounds happily).
HIND is the follow-on to Apache, a simulator about the AH-64 helicopter, released by Interactive Magic in 1995.
