In baseball, part of the infielders' job is to cover bases. That is, they stand next to a base—on a force play or appeal play with one foot on the base. In general, the first baseman covers first base, the second baseman or shortstop covers second, the third baseman covers third, and the catcher covers home base.

Cover versions can also be in different languages; for example, Falco's 1982 German-lang ...

When a scandal breaks, the discovery of an attempt to cover up the evidence of wrongdoing is often regarded as even more scandalous than the original deeds. Typically, a cover-up draws an entire organization, or sometimes only its leadership, into complicity in covering up a crime that may have originally been committed by a few of its members. This is often regarded as tacit approval of that behaviour. Some cover-ups are successful (by the simple fact no one can confirm one). Most fail, however, due to the nature of cover-ups to entail more manpower, more resources, and thus leave too much evidence and too m ...

The advice to "duck and cover" holds good in many situations where structural destabilization or debris may be expected such as during earthquakes or tornados. At a sufficient distance from a nuclear explosion, the shock wave would produce similar results and ducking and covering would perhaps prove adequate. However within a certain radius (depending on its height and yield), ducking and covering would do little to protect against the intense heat ...
