An optical film (10), a polarizing plate, a liquid crystal panel, and an image display apparatus, wherein interference fringes can be made to be invisible, and cloudiness can be reduced. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided an optical film including a light transmissive substrate (11); and a functional layer (12) disposed on the light transmissive substrate (11), wherein the functional layer (12) has a concavo-convex surface (12A) forming a surface of the optical film (10); assuming that a slope angle of the concavo-convex surface (12A) with respect to a film plane of the optical film in a cross section along a direction normal to the film plane is a surface angle, a rate of a region in which the surface angle is 0.05 DEG or more is 50% or more in the concavo-convex surface; and the root mean square slope R delta q of a roughness curve on the concavo-convex surface is 0.003 or less.

A skin smoothing composition that has from about 0.5 to about 4% sodium silicate as measured by silica content (SiO2) and from about 0.1% to about 4.0% of a polyvalent silicate. The composition is provided in a carrier, for example, from about 10 to 98% water, and can be in the form of a water gel or oil-in-water emulsion. Further, the weight ratio of sodium silicate to the polyvalent silicate is equal to or greater than 0.7. and the polyvalent silicate is a silicate clay selected from the group consisting of bentonite, laponite, smectite, and kaolinite. Kits containing these compositions and methods of using these compositions are also provided.

A horizontal grinding type rice milling machine, comprising a rice milling chamber having grinding rolls fixed around a horizontal rotating shaft and a cylindrical foreign matter removal screen (S) vertically dividable into two screen half parts and covering the grinding rolls concentrically thereto, wherein a plurality of stoppers and flaps formed of arc members curved along the periphery of the circular cross section of the cylindrical screen orthogonal to the axis there of are fixedly installed on the inner peripheral surface of each of the screen half parts obtained by dividing the foreign matter removal screen (S) into two parts so as to be alternately disposed in axial direction, a distance allowing rice to pass while restricting the passing amount of rice is assured between the flaps and the outer periphery of the grinding rolls, and a distance between the stoppers and the outer periphery of the grinding rolls is set so as to not to pass the rice, both screen half parts of the foreign matter removal screen (S) are formed in the same structure and, when the screen half parts are reversed to each other so that both ends thereof in axial direction are replaced with each other.
