CONT

A beautiful, delicate head characterizes the Arabian, often with a "dished" or concave profile below large, prominent eyes; a high-set, arched neck; and a naturally high tail carriage. The back is short and straight; the withers are pronounced and long; the chest is muscular, deep and broad; the shoulders long and sloping; the legs muscular with broad strong joints and clearly defined tendons; and the hooves small with very tough horn, wide at the heel. These points of "type" give the Arabian its distinctive beauty. The ideal height for an Arabian is between 14. 2 and 15 hands and may be chestnut, gray, bay, and black. White markings on the face and legs are common. The coat is fine and silky and the skin is invariably black. The mane and tail are full.

CONT

The Arab is possibly the most beautiful and most noble of all breeds of horse. There is no other horse that has the perfect combination of courage, stamina and speed, along with loyalty and gentle affection. Its hot-blooded nature and stunning good looks have been admired for hundreds of years. Many of the world’s breeds have been developed by crossing the Arab with more cold-blooded, docile horses with a heavier build.

CONT

At this stage, it is timely to make a closer examination of the structure of a grain of wheat; the starting material of the milling process. The wheat seed varies in length from 4. 8 millimetres to 9. 5 millimetres, depending on variety and degree of maturity. Its shape ranges from spherical to oblong. Running along the full length of the wheat seed is the crease, which reaches in depth almost to the middle of the grain. The seed, or berry as it is sometimes called, is made up of three main parts : the interior starchy endosperm, the seed coat or bran, and the embryo called the germ. An average well matured grain of wheat has approximately the following compositions : endosperm, 85%, bran, 13%; and germ, 2%.

Le moment est venu d'examiner de plus près la structure du grain de blé, point de départ des opérations de mouture. Le grain de blé mesure de 4,8 mm à 9,5 mm de long, selon les variétés et le degré de maturité. Sa forme varie de sphérique à allongée. Sa surface est parcourue d'un sillon longitudinal dont la profondeur atteint près de la moitié de l'épaisseur du grain. La graine est constituée de trois éléments principaux : l'albumen farineux interne, les membranes (le son) et l'embryon, qu'on appelle germe. La composition moyenne du grain bien développé est à peu près la suivante : albumen 85%, son 13% et germe 2%.

In the years since the New Look, several silhouettes have flourished for a time -- the sack dress, the miniskirt, the maxi among them. But the phenomenon of the New Look has yet to be duplicated.

CONT

Dior's Decade-Women'sFashions of the 1950s. Silhouette... silhouettes were more varied. On these outlines, women wore a trim bodice and very full knee-length skirt, or a fitted short, boxy jacket or blouse with a pencil-straight skirt. One style that hid all the rest, literally, was the cocoon-like sacque dress and coat, which fitted the shoulders and bloomed at the waist and hips.
