Scientific wheat breeding in Canada had its origin in 1903 when Dr. Charles Saunders(son of William Saunders, the founder of Canadian Experimental Farms) selected one head of Marquis wheat from across of the European variety, Red Fife, and a much earlier maturing, unknown variety of hard red spring wheat from Calcutta, India. Since that time, more sophisticated breeding techniques have evolved but the original challenge of man against nature continues to be ever present. 1, record 10, English, - Marquis%20wheat

Au Canada, la sélection scientifique du blé remonte à 1903; cette année-là, Charles Saunders (fils de William Saunders, fondateur des fermes expérimentales canadiennes) sélectionnait le premier épi de blé marquis, à la suite du croisement d'une variété européenne, le Red Fife, avec une variété inconnue de blé de force roux de printemps, à maturation beaucoup plus hâtive, originaire de Calcutta. Depuis cette époque, les techniques de sélection se sont fort raffinées, mais le combat entre l'homme et la nature continue toujours. 1, record 10, French, - bl%C3%A9%20Marquis

... the nailing of wooden shingles and slates are entirely different. The heads of slating nails should just touch the slate and should not be driven "home" or draw the slate, but left with the heads just clearing the slate hangs on the nail. The opposite is true of wooden shingles and a man used to laying this material will invariably handle slate in the same way. As a consequence the slate, held too rigidly in place, is shattered around the nail hole, or the head of the nail crushed and eventually the slate may "ride" up over the nail and be blown off in a heavy wind... The temptation to use shingle nails instead of slating nails should be discouraged, for the slight saving in cost on the entire roof cannot approach the cost of repairs which may develop as a result of this practice. 2, record 11, English, - slate%20nail

Ce bloc s'emploie pour prévenir la pénétration du joueur défensif. Pour une ouverture pratiquée à droite, le joueur contacte avec son épaule gauche tout en logeant le côté gauche de sa tête sur la poitrine du joueur défensif. De plus, il vise les hanches et utilise ses bras de la même manière que lors d'un bloc de l'épaule. Dans le cas d'une ouverture à gauche, le joueur effectue exactement l'inverse de cette tactique. 1, record 15, French, - bloc%20renvers%C3%A9

Signs taken from comic and cartoon conventions such as arrows and speech bubbles can cause difficulty. In one poster about industrial safety, for example, stars and lightning-flash marks were used to indicate that a man had hit his head. This symbolic element introduced in an otherwise clear drawing was not understood and confused people.... Sequences of pictures, using the comic-strip convention, should be used with caution. 1, record 16, English, - comic%2Dstrip%20convention

La Bande Dessinée (...) vient d'acquérir en France des lettres de noblesse. (...) Il n'est pas sûr cependant que ces documents soient compris d'emblée par les personnes qu'ils visent. (...) La plupart de ces images conçues pour être comprises sans qu'on ait à utiliser le support linguistique, voient leur signification complètement dénaturée lorsqu'on prend le temps de les tester sérieusement. On oublie (...) que la B.D. ou le dessin, humoristique ou non, sont imprégnés de codes très précis et que ces codes ne sont pas immédiatement intelligibles par tous les publics. 1, record 16, French, - code%20de%20la%20bande%20dessin%C3%A9e

Monstre hybride à corps de lion, buste humain, ailes d'aigle, inventé par les Égyptiens. L'art décoratif français emploie à l'époque Louis XVI la sphinge grecque dont le buste est un corps féminin qui est ailé. Ce n'est qu'après la Campagne d'Égypte qu'on adopte le sphinx masculin et aptère. 1, record 17, French, - sphinx
