[...] gomme-résine extraite de la racine d’une Ombellifère, Ferula assa-fœtida, originaire de l'Iran et de l'Afghanistan. Elle laisse un goût amer et aigre et possède une odeur alliacée, très forte et écœurante, qui lui vaut son nom. Autrefois on l'employait comme antispasmodique. Actuellement, elle est peu utilisée, sauf en parfumerie, où elle peut entrer à faible concentration dans certaines compositions à base de rose ou d’odeur orientale.

Every novice knows the wigwam fire--indeed if a child who has never made a fire were told to build one, he would surely turn up with a wigwam, for it is the natural arrangement. But nevertheless, it is not without importance in the craft, for it is the core of every fire lay no matter how elaborate. Viewed in its own right and aside from its contribution as the starting torch of other lays, it has few qualifications as a cooking fire if one intends to do more than stew a pot of tea, because its heat is all thrown to the center of the pyramid and offers no spread for the utensils, and its coals all drop to one small spot in the center. It is good for light, however, and is prized in the evening. First the coil of birch-bark, or the chip of fat pine, or the handful of tiny twigs broken into a pyramid, or the fuzz-stick; then a few softwood sticks from the size of a pencil up to that of your little finger, stacked around it in wigwam fashion, and lastly the hardwood sticks of finger and thumb size. Remember to keep it tall and slender. And keep it small--a foot high and a foot wide at the base. 4, record 3, English, - wigwam%20fire

Feu en cône. Cette méthode est excellente pour obtenir rapidement des braises ou pour faire un petit feu de camp. Un feu en cône a l’inconvénient de faire les étincelles. Il demande donc de l’attention dans sa conduite et une surveillance constante. Pour le construire, il suffit de disposer en cône serré, autour d’un petit cône initial de brindilles et d’allume feu, des rondins de diamètre et de longueur progressivement croissants. Ménagez du côté au vent un petit couloir pour pouvoir introduire l’amadou enflammé. 1, record 3, French, - feu%20en%20c%C3%B4ne

Para los totalmente novatos, es recomendable acudir a una tienda especializada, de manera que los dependientes, a la vista de la corpulencia, la mano, etc., puedan aconsejarles la raqueta más idónea. Si esto no es posible y tampoco se dispone de ningún entrenador o profesor, lo mejor es acercarse a un club y preguntar a un jugador experimentado, que al menos en algo los podrá orientar. 1, record 11, Spanish, - novato

Polystyrène expansé. Préparation : La matière de base est un granulé d’homopolymère polystyrène qui contient du pentane à l'état liquide comme agent gonflant. Cette inclusion est faite au niveau de la polymérisation et le produit à ce stade est dit polystyrène expansible. Par chauffage(généralement à la vapeur d’eau), on obtient, par gonflement et autocollage, des billes qui peuvent être associées en forme. Le polystyrène expansé est une mousse toujours rigide comportant 98 % d’air immobilisé dans 4 à 6 millions de cellules par décimètre cube(le pentane disparaît par porosité et laisse des bulles d’air). 2, record 12, French, - polystyr%C3%A8ne%20expansible

Trop souvent le photographe se laisse entraîner dans une fausse sécurité par le terme «fixage». Même les films les mieux fixés peuvent pâlir ou jaunir s’ils sont insuffisamment lavés. Le dommage est alors dû au fixateur lui-même; la solution de fixage contient des composés sulfureux dissous, et si le film développé conserve la moindre goutte de fixateur, le soufre tache l'image du négatif à base d’argent. 1, record 13, French, - solution%20de%20fixage
