Wednesday December 06, 2006: on this day
Well, in the case of Copper Mountain resident Rainer Hertrich — the only human in recorded history to complete such a streak — he found a five-dollar bill. On the county and municipal level, programs were established to enable fire mitigation and fire prevention planning. Homeowners worked to clear dead and dying trees from their properties, and a widespread Community Wildfire Protection Plan took hold across the county. But the more we know about the pine beetle epidemic, the more nuance it seems is needed in the debate. While beetle-killed trees grow in numbers, a new argument about a consequent rise in fire danger arose.
Water, or lack thereof, was less of an issue this year, as the hydrological year between 2005 and 2006 was one of the wettest on record. And on June 5, Dillon Reservoir filled to capacity, and excess water spilled through the glory hole for the second year in a row. In other environmental news this year, a surge of run-off from an abandoned mine above Breckenridge threatened a number of species in April. The result of the mine run-off: the Blue River flowed a deep orange color right through downtown Breckenridge, though no long-term impacts to the ecosystems there could be reported.
Finally, boosted water flows in the same Blue River were the goal of the Breckenridge Sanitation District with their proposed Blue River Pumpback Project — where a series of pipes and pumps would recirculate water flows normally lost to Dillon Reservoir back into the river further upstream. The year was marked with much progress on the project; funding was secured and scheduling and planning begun. County welcomes some impressive new neighborsLate last year, the county realized the dream of a fully-functioning, advanced new hospital to its boundaries, the culmination of years of hard work by county commissioners and staff. While the finishing touches on a new Flight-For-Life helicopter hangar are yet to be finished, the MOB opened for business this summer without a major vacancy.
Reuters Крупнейшее мировое новостное агентство. В отличие от своего главного конкурента Associated Press выкладывает в открытый доступ большое количество материалов самой разной направленности. Несмотря на экономическую специализацию публикует новости и статьи по общей тематике. Кроме того, есть бесплатное приложение.
Новости структурированы, написаны в строгом информационном стиле. Для изучающих язык такая подача помогает понять суть события и без словаря, а также изучить массу полезных выражений. Минус — несколько сухой стиль изложения, деловая направленность. Часть контента они выкладывают на сайт, остальное доступно по подписке.
Газета британская, но достаточно широко освещает международную тематику, есть специальный раздел о США. Статьи очень живые, интересные и тематики разнообразные — от высокого искусства до советов о личной жизни. Специально для любителей языков созданы разделы Languages и English and creative writing. Стиль изложения бывает сложным, особенно если речь о колонках, но в обычных информационных статьях — довольно понятный язык, хотя и более сложный, чем в BBC или таблоидах.
Есть платная подписка, но даже того объема, который доступен бесплатно, вполне достаточно для того, чтобы быть в курсе событий. Можно установить бесплатное приложение с приятным дополнением в виде еженедельной подборки увлекательных лонгридов. Основной контент — о том, что происходит в Великобритании, но также есть отделы международных новостей. Для доступа к статьям The Telegraph необходимо зарегистрироваться, но можно это сделать через соцсети.
The Independent отличает легкий стиль изложения, увлекательный раздел LifeStyle и все материалы доступны бесплатно и без регистрации. Минус — статьи ориентированы на читателей, живущих в Великобритании. Обе газеты предлагают приложения, а The Independent даже два — ежедневное и еженедельное. The Daily Mail Популярные британские таблоиды еще называют чтивом домохозяек.
Слоган одного из них — News, sport, celebrities and gossip — точно отражает суть таких газет.
Пока не поступало сообщений о сколько-нибудь серьезно пострадавших в аварии. Это происшествие, четвертое по числу столкнувшихся транспортных средств за последний месяц, произошло как раз накануне первой Национальной Конференции по использованию дорог. На церемонии открытия прошлым вечером в Лондоне сэр Джон Стоун, советник по дорожному движению области Метрополитэн, раскритиковал стандарты дорожного движения страны. Он сказал, что очевидным стало то, что британские водители еще должны выучить многие из основных правил дорожного движения.
Дорожная дисциплина в стране намного хуже чем в Америке, и особенно опасна манера водителей обгонять. Начинать обгон без соответствующего сигнала слишком опасно, и у водителей наблюдается настолько же рискованная тенденция вклиниваться в ряд после обгона. Однако, пожалуй, самой распространенной формой нарушения явилось нежелание водителей частных автомобилей сворачивать на внутреннюю полосу движения, если имеется такая возможность. Сэр Джон сказал, что слишком многие вынуждены оставаться на средней или даже на внешней полосе, несмотря на состояние дорожного движения, следствием чего является нетерпение водителей, намеревающихся обогнать и пытающихся встать слишком близко вслед впереди стоящему транспортному средству, тем самым увеличивая вероятность аварии. Конференция продолжается.
А теперь о переговорах стран Общего рынка. Мистер Джеффри Риппон, ответственный за проведение переговоров, прошлой ночью вылетел в Брюссель. Предполагается, что целью его поездки является попытка уменьшить разногласия между нашей страной и Европейским Экономическим Сообществом по поводу доли Британии в бюджете Сообщества. Появились признаки того, что некоторые европейские лидеры едва ли принимают нынешнее предложение Британии всерьез, и в Уайтхолле осознают то, что главная задача мистера Риппона в настоящий момент — сделать ясным для Шестерки, что в самой стране предложение считают разумным и реалистичным.

What Happened in 2006 Major News Events, Popular Culture, History Prices
New industrial relations laws took hold in March, as unions joined the Federal Opposition and state governments in a vow to fight implementing the legislation. As Prime Minister John Howard celebrated 10 years in office in March, he disappointed Treasurer Peter Costello who said the Prime Minister promised him 12 years ago to hand over the leadership crown to him before two terms were up. Business In the second-biggest share offer in Australian history behind the T2 sale seven years ago, the Federal Government finally gave the green light for the third sell-off of Telstra shares. T3 shares began trading on the Australian Stock Exchange in November. The Government parked the remaining 17 per cent of Telstra stock into the Future Fund to sell down over time. Many Australians felt the pinch of three interest rate rises during this year, with the final Reserve Bank decision for 2006 setting the financial climate at 6. Farewells Australia reeled with shock as it lost two icons in the same week in September - conservationist and self-proclaimed "wildlife warrior" Steve Irwin and motor racing legend "king of the mountain" Peter Brock. Celebrities, friends and family mourned the death of actress Belinda Emmett , wife of entertainer Rove McManus, who lost her long battle against cancer in November. Courage Australians marvelled at the incredible survival of two miners, Todd Russell and Brant Webb, trapped for 14 days in May in a steel cage after a mine collapse in Beaconsfield in northern Tasmania.
But the rescue was tinged with sadness by the death of third miner, Larry Knight. The story took another tragic and ironic turn as television journalist Richard Carleton died at the scene covering the event for the 60 Minutes program. In that same month, Australian climber Lincoln Hall was miraculously found alive on Mount Everest , but fellow climber Sue Fear was lost after falling down a crevasse in Nepal. Celebrities As usual, the rich and famous grabbed their share of memorable moments in 2006.
Irwin, 44, is survived by his wife, Terri, and their two children, Bindi Sue and Robert. The killer told his wife he had molested children 20 years ago and was dreaming about doing it again.
Нолан будет выполнять роль исполнительного продюсера в сиквеле, объявили в Warner Bros. Вместе с Ноланом в качестве исполнительного продюсера, как ходят слухи, Бэтмен и Супермен вскоре могут появиться на экране вместе. The film is slated for release in summer 2015, but there has been no word on who will play Batman. Bale has previously shot down rumours that he would play the masked hero again.
When David Edgar, chairing a session on theatre and censorship, asked the Northern Irish playwright Gary Mitchell whether he spoke for the Protestant community in North Belfast, Mitchell replied pugnaciously that he spoke only for himself. Mitchell knows all too well what it means to be accused of representing a community. He calmly described the intimidation that he and his family have received at the hands of loyalist paramilitaries who object to his portrayals of their culture. Her play Bells, staged last year at the Birmingham Rep, explores the world of the mujra: so-called dancing clubs prevalent throughout South Asia and now common in Britain.
As a young girl, Whittaker-Khan watched candy-coated Bollywood representations of the mujra, and wanted to be a courtesan when she grew up. Even in writing Bells, she explained, she was as much attracted by the glamour as she was horrified by the closeted prostitution.
