If hockey is our most popular national game, then nobody does a better job of making us feel like Canadians that the people of Plaster Rock. Every year, this community brings together 96 teams from across North America to compete for the "World Pond Hockey Championships". This is "four-on-four" play, with no goaltenders and plenty of action! All games are outdoors on a lake which is home to 24 ice surfaces. This means that many teams can play simultaneously for an exciting three days. Nothing like this exists anywhere else in the world. It serves as a celebration of Canadian culture-not just our love of hockey but, our love of hockey on the ponds, lakes and rivers of our childhood. 1, record 5, English, - World%20Pond%20Hockey%20Championships

Les matchs se déroulent dans un jeu vif, 4 contre 4 et sans gardiens de but! ils se jouent en plein air, sur un lac comptant 24 patinoires, ce qui permet à un grand nombre d'équipes de jouer simultanément pendant trois jours trépidants.

Top of the company's range, however, and proving popular with the owners of latest generation container vessels, is Intersleek, a silicone elastomer foul release coating which is effectively non-stick. Suited to vessels operating at speeds in excess of 15 knots, water action on the hull as the vessel passes through water constantly cleans the coating so that only slime takes hold and can be washed off with a low-pressure water wash at a drydocking. 1, record 6, English, - silicone%20elastomer%20foul%20release%20coating

Animation Software : A popular method called key frame animation... Every animation sequence usually has a few key points. For instance if you want to animate a ball dropping from the top of the screen to the bottom, the key points are the top and bottom positions of the ball. The software program can compute the positions of the ball in the frames in between. This process is called tweening. The computer tweens for all the frames in between, whereas the animator provides the data for the key frames, where the action starts or stops or changes course. The animator also decides on the number of frames that the animation sequence lasts. This process is not very different from traditional animation where you have key frame animators and tweening artists. 3, record 7, English, - key%20frame

The principal difference between a plea of guilty and a plea of nolo contedere is that the latter may not be used against the defendant in a civil action based upon the same acts. As such, this plea is particularly popular in antitrust actions(e. g. prixe fixing) where the likelihood of civil actions following in the wake of a successful antitrust prosecution is very great. 1, record 8, English, - nolo%20contendere

Mixers vary greatly in their design and action on the dough. Some stretch and knead while others cut and pinch, but the remarkable fact is that most mixers, provided that they are sufficiently fast, are capable of bringing dough to an equivalent physical state. Developments in high-speed dough mixing have led to mixers that are bigger(e. g. up to 1000 kilograms of dough capacity), faster, cooler, safer and cleaner. Advances and improvements have largely been a matter of refinement designed to keep pace with customer demands, government regulations, and practical production requirements.

Il existe différents types de pétrin qui offrent une grande diversité d'action. Certains étirent et malaxent la pâte tandis que d'autres la découpent et la pincent. Ce qu'il y a de plus remarquable, c'est que, quel que soit leur type, à peu près tous les pétrins donnent des résultats semblables. Les progrès dans le domaine des pétrins à vitesse élevée ont donné lieu au développement de pétrins plus gros (par exemple, jusqu'à 1 000 kilogrammes), plus rapides et plus propres, faits de matériaux qui s'échauffent moins et offrent une plus grande sécurité. Tous les progrès et améliorations sont attribuables en grande partie au désir des boulangers de répondre aux demandes des consommateurs, de respecter les règlements gouvernementaux et de satisfaire les exigences pratiques de la production. Bien que le pétrin à axe horizontal soit encore le type de pétrin le plus utilisé, le pétrin à mouvements en spirale gagne du terrain depuis quelques temps. 1, record 10, French, - p%C3%A9trin%20%C3%A0%20axe%20horizontal

Earth Day Canada campaign. In the first year of this annual campaign, over two million Canadians will wear a green ribbon to commemorate Earth Day. Sponsorship and donations created by the campaign will be used to create much needed manuals and resources for community tree planting projects. One of the most popular Earth Day events, tree planting is an environmental action in itself. It is also a symbolic act that commemorates and reaffirms our environmental commitment. An estimated three million trees are planted to mark Earth Day in thousands of Canadian communities. Individuals and families, community and employee groups and school classes are among the most active tree planters. 1, record 11, English, - Green%20Ribbon%20Campaign

A number of laboratory beating devices are in use around the world for routine testing and experimental work.... The two devices most commonly used in North America are the Valley beater and the PFI mill. The Lampen mill is more popular in Scandinavia, the United Kingdom and Australia. The Jokro mill is favored in Germany.... The Lampen mill consists of a hollow circular housing rotating around a horizontal axis at 250 rpm, in which a smooth spherical 10-kg ball is allowed to roll freely.... The pulp sample is milled by the rotating ball at relatively low consistency(3. 0% for softwood, 3. 6% for hardwood), providing a slow, gentle refining action. The main variable affecting the uniformity of action is the micro-roughness of the ball and housing. 1, record 12, English, - Lampen%20mill
