It was the French Emperor, Napoleon III, who first seemed to appreciate the disastrous position that would be the result of a fat shortage and so, in 1867, he commissioned Mége-Mouriés, a French chemist, to "investigate how far it was possible to produce a cheap butter for the Army, Navy and needy classes of the population which would be cheaper and of better keeping quality than the usual butter"... Mége-Mouriés began to experiment... and in 1869 he commenced making his new product in a small factory near Paris. He had noticed that his "near-butter" had a pearly appearance and so he called it margarine from the Greek word "margaron" which means a pearl. 2, record 3, English, - near%20butter

Extradition of the citizens of the requested state. Another question, which often arises, is whether a citizen of the requested state should be handed over for trial in respect of commission of an offence in the requesting State. The relevant treaty of extradition may contain provisions in this regard, but generally the provisions of treaties are silent on this question. It therefore becomes necessary for each government to decide whether it would extradite its own nationals even though there may exist a treaty between the requesting and the requested states. It may be argued, on the one hand, that if a state is competent under its own laws to try and punish its nationals for crimes committed abroad, there is no need to surrender them to the requesting State, as they can be dealt with adequately in the requested State. On the other hand, it may be pointed out that the courts of the country where the crime is committed would be in a better position to deal with the matter since witnesses would be available more readily there and it may also be necessary to have local inspection of the place of the offence. 2, record 8, English, - requested%20State

Stealth technology has as its fundamental principle the prevention of detection by the enemy, and applies not only to aircraft as is commonly assumed, but also increasingly to naval vessels and to armoured vehicles, although in the latter cases, it is nascent technology upon which comment must be reserved. Stealth technology, therefore, does not simply mean the evasion by aircraft of radar through the reduction of radar signature. It also encompasses the reduction of an aircraft's visibility in other spectra, most notably acoustic, visual, and infra-red. Consequently the popular term "stealth technology" would perhaps be better referred to as "low-observable technology. " 2, record 10, English, - stealth%20technology

Coffee pulp is the skin of the coffee fruit. It represents 40 per cent by weight(fresh) of the fruit, and is separated from the fruit by mechanical action with the help of water. Another coffee by-product is mucilage, which can be removed from the depulped fruit by natural solid fermentation. It represents 20 per cent by weight(fresh) of the fruit. Both can be obtained together without introducing drastic and costly changes in coffee processing itself.

Fibre fitness is another important fibre character affecting yarn strength. It gives number of fibres in the cross-section of yarn. Better the fineness of cotton, more would be the number of fibres per cross-section resulting in higher yarn strength. When other characteristics are same, fine fibres will produce a yarn of higher strength than coarse fibres. 1, record 12, English, - fineness%20of%20cotton

The number is a projection of what the expected winning speed rating would be for that particular race.

Planning of a multi-spectral auroral imaging observatory(AURIO) has been on its way for some years now in the ESA Programme(Stadsnes et al. 1987). In 1990 ESA selected AURIO together with an advanced particle and fields observatory, APAFO, to constitute the Space Science Elements in the Polar Platform Programme, but without accommodating these experiments on the first mission called ENVISAT-1. As of today it is not yet clear when AURIO will be flown. AURIO would provide images of the aurora in the IR, visible and UV-range, and of the X-ray aurora(from few keV to >100 keV) with much better spatial and temporal resolution than yet obtained. Together with the in-situ particle and fields measurements, this would enable studies of fine and medium-scale coupling processes between the magnetosphere and the upper atmosphere. 2, record 17, English, - auroral%20imaging%20observatory

In 1995, the Canadian Governments On-Line(CGOL) team launched an on-line service, Intergovernmental On-Line Information Centre, or InterGov, to be used as a work and research tool for governments and the general population. The InterGov site's primary role is to provide access to and information on official government services and information provide on-line by governments in Canada. Every effort is made not to duplicate information that is already provided by an official government source in Canada before any content is actually stored on the service. Where the information would better serve the user by being presented or consolidated differently here, the team attempts to present it across government jurisdictions. 1, record 18, English, - Intergovernmental%20On%2DLine%20Information%20Centre

L'équipe Gouvernements canadiens en direct (GCED) lançait en 1995 un nouveau service en direct qui serait un outil de travail pour les différents ministères mais également pour la population, le Centre d'information en direct intergouvernemental, ou InterGov. Le but de ce site est de fournir au public un point d'accès facile à toute l'information et à tous les services fournis par les gouvernements à travers le Canada en dirigeant les usagers vers leurs pages d'accueil officielles établies. L'équipe s'efforce de ne pas dédoubler l'information déjà disponible auprès d'une autre source officielle gouvernementale au Canada en effectuant des vérifications avant de charger l'information dans ce service. Lorsque l'usager bénéficierait davantage d'une consolidation ou d'une présentation différente de l'information, elle cherche généralement à présenter celle-ci selon les juridictions gouvernementales. 1, record 18, French, - Centre%20d%27information%20en%20direct%20intergouvernemental
