Genoese lace developed in the 16th century, imitating in its rigid tooth-like triangles the contemporary needlepoint lace Punto in Aria. When the fashion of collars turned towards soft falling bands, Genoese changed accordingly, being scalloped edged now and made of thicker thread, densely worked. By the mid 17th century Genoese lace went out of fashion. 1, record 5, English, - Genoese%20lace

Dentelle aux fuseaux italienne développée au 16e siècle [qui] imitait les triangles rigides de sa contemporaine, la dentelle «Punto in Aria». Quand la mode changea pour des cols en bandes molles, elle suivit le courant et opta pour des bords plus arrondis et fut travaillée dans des fils plus épais, et dans des motifs plus denses(et donc plus lourds). Cette dentelle devint complètement démodée vers le milieu du 17e siècle. 2, record 5, French, - dentelle%20de%20G%C3%AAnes

Malgré le succès des kits maisons, Hires décida, en 1884, qu'il pouvait vendre plus de soda racinette si les gens ne devaient pas le faire eux-mêmes. Par la suite, il mis au point un concentré liquide, un sirop pour fontaine à soda et un soda racinette en bouteille. D'où vient le nom? À l'origine, Hires voulait appeler son nouveau produit «Root Tea», c'est-à-dire «thé de racines». Il opta pour «Root Beer», ou bière de racines, sur les conseils d’un ami qu'il l'avait convaincu que, étant donné la popularité de la bière à cette époque, les consommateurs seraient davantage attirés par ce nom. 2, record 6, French, - sirop%20pour%20fontaine
