Il permet d'obtenir des fards, des peintures ou encore des encres colorés. Autre type de colorant : la teinture. Contrairement au pigment, celle-ci est soluble. 2, record 1, French, - chimiste%20sp%C3%A9cialiste%20des%20pigments

The term "horse vaulting" is a bit misleading. It brings to mind the aerial leaps performed in gymnastic competitions on a padded stationary block. But the actual sport of horse vaulting is one of the three classic disciplines of horseback riding, the other two being dressage and jumping. ... While vaulting does include jumping onto and off of a moving horse, it also involves much more, as I learned on a visit to watch the Great Falls Vaulting Team practice. Led by coach Jennifer Williams, the team’s members ride bareback, kneel and stand on a moving horse, and perform the sort of riding tricks you might see in a circus. 1, record 4, English, - horse%20vaulting
