Eid al-Adha is a significant annual Islamic observance for many Muslims in Canada. It is also known as the Feast of Sacrifice or Festival of Sacrifice as it commemorates Ibrahim's(Abraham) willingness to sacrifice his son to God. Eid al-Adha is celebrated in Muslim communities throughout Canada around the 10th to the 13th days of the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah(or Dhul Hijja). It is a time marked by special prayers and many Muslims gather for special prayer services. Many people also visit family and friends, exchange greetings and gifts, and make donations to the poor and needy. Eid al-Adha is also a time for forgiveness and compassion. Eid al-Adha is known as the Feast of Sacrifice because it traditionally includes the sacrifice of an animal permitted for food(eg. a lamb) as an act of thanksgiving for God's mercy. Some of the food is donated for charitable purposes. 1, record 1, English, - Eid%20al%2DAdha

Normally, a blow-molded part is cooled externally by the mold cavity, forcing heat to travel through the entire wall thickness. With the poor thermal conductivity of plastic resins, molding cycle times of heavy parts can be considerable. Internal cooling systems are designed to speed the mold cooling time, thus reducing costs by removing some of this heat from the inside. Several systems have been developed that incorporate three basic approaches : liquified gas, super-cold air with water vapor, and air exchange methods. 1, record 7, English, - internal%20cooling%20system

Refroidissement interne des corps creux. Les corps creux à parois minces (bouteilles) ne posent pas de problèmes particuliers et, dans une certaine mesure, les temps de refroidissement sont proportionnels aux épaisseurs. Par contre, lorsque le corps creux comporte des épaisseurs supérieures à 1,5 ou 2 mm, le transfert thermique dans l'épaisseur de la paroi constitue l'obstacle majeur au phénomène de refroidissement, compte tenu surtout des faibles conductivités thermiques des matières thermoplastiques. Le temps de refroidissement devient pratiquement proportionnel au carré de l'épaisseur, c'est pourquoi on a songé à compléter le refroidissement par contact avec l'empreinte par un refroidissement interne selon les différents procédés décrits ci-après. a) Renouvellement de l'air de soufflage [...] b) Balayage au dioxyde de carbone [...] c) Procédé ISC (Internal Surface Cooling) [...] d) Procédé ALEX [...] 2, record 7, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20refroidissement%20interne
