And Iran moved forward with plans to bring its first nuclear center into operation by the end of next year. But deep divisions prevented Congress from approving legislation. Supporters of rights for immigrants held several demonstrations. Also in Washington, several congressmen from the Republican Party were involved in cases of wrongdoing. One was former House majority leader Tom DeLay who resigned after being charged with campaign finance crimes. Another was former representative Mark Foley. He resigned after he was found to have sent sexual messages to male students working for Congress.
He was sentenced to death by hanging.
This mission will enable Hubble to last for approximately 5 to 10 years. The 6-minute suborbital flight was the only flight of the Constellation program that was supposed to replace the Space Shuttle fleet in the next decade. Investigations into the accident are still ongoing. As of late February 2010, the death toll is expected to rise.
Yet writers themselves hate to be categorised: there is something about being a writer that is all about putting your roots in the air. Stories, on the other hand, grow downwards, seeking the cultural nutrients in the soil. 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.
However much fun you had conceiving it, the end product is entirely new, entirely itself, and not always entirely happy. Jung Chang I had brought eight international writers together under the heading Migrations of the Mind to explore the challenges of taking stories between cultures.
Each writer exemplified the problems of a world increasingly built out of small and mobile communities. Yet as soon as they were put together on stage at the ICA, most of the participants fiercely refused to define themselves either culturally or nationally. Whether Chinese or Turkish, Moroccan or Northern Irish, they saw themselves purely as writers, compelled to tell certain stories not because they were representatives of their communities, but because they were compelled to write, full stop. One by one they queued up to challenge the premise of my event — but in doing so they brought out a quite different, and far more interesting problem.

While the article count of all Wikipedias together barely doubled, these Wikipedias often grew 5, 10 or 20 times. This shows that Wikipedia is progressing towards becoming less dominated by Europe and North America and integrating the entire world more, including a growing number of languages with new or weak written traditions. The Middle East grew into a major area for Wikipedias. There are 4 major Wikipedias: Hebrew with 50,499 articles, Turkish with 42,162, Arabic with 22,098 and Persian with 17,307. One year ago, 3 had more than 10,000 articles, 2 more than 1,000 and 1 more than 100. The total article count was 63,235. South East Asia, including 5 states in Indochina and 6 states in the Indonesian-Philipine archipelago, also grew into a major Wikipedia area. These include 9 state language Wikipedias with 83,328 articles, up from 39,690 one year ago. Of these, 5 major Wikipedias are Indonesian with 47,748 articles, Thai with 17,853, Malay with 16,592, Vietnamese with 13,027 and Tagalog with 5,856. They are Tetum , Khmer , Burmese and Lao.

The 4 biggest Wikipedias are Georgian , with 13,494 articles, Uzbek with 5,305, Azeri with 4,213 and Tajik with 4,018. One passed 10,000 articles for the first time this year. One year ago, no Wikipedia from these countries had more than 5,000 articles. The total article count was 7,064. Indian subcontinent Wikipedias took great strides forwards in 2006: 22 Indian subcontinent Wikipedias of the countries of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and the Maldives have 78,890 articles and 8,528 registered users. The 3 biggest Wikipedias are Telugu , with 26,114 articles, Bengali with 12,790 and Bishnupriya Manipuri with 11,760. During 2006 those two Wikipedias grew rapidly to Hindi 4,616 articles and Urdu 3,934. One year ago the article counts were 1,092 and 638. In addition to the 3 that passed 10,000 articles, 7 have passed 1,000 and 8 passed 100. One year ago, no Wikipedia from the subcontinent had more than 2,300 articles.
The total article count was 10,507. American language Wikipedias advance in 2006: 16 American language Wikipedias for the first time together passed 10,000 articles. Today they have 11,234 articles and 1,839 registered users. This includes 3 American languages of European origin with 8,271 articles and 373 registered users.

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. Не стоит искать там серьезных новостей, аналитики и статей об искусстве. Что там есть, так это легкий и живой язык с многочисленными фразеологизмами и даже сленгом, подробности скандалов из мира политики и шоу-бизнеса, слухи из жизни британской королевской семьи. Минусы — всплывающие периодически шокирующие снимки жертв преступлений, жутких болячек или людей-мутантов из индийских деревень. Плюсы — понятное изложение и полностью бесплатный контент, включая приложения. Есть даже раздел о России. Все статьи — довольно объемные и перенасыщены фотографиями, видео и виджетами соцсетей, но каждую предваряет анонс из списка коротких и понятных фраз, описывающих суть и самые эффектные факты материала.
Euronews О событиях в странах Евросоюза можно почитать на сайте телеканала Euronews. Статьи и видеосюжеты рассортированы по традиционным новостным разделам Europe, World, Business, Sport, Culture. Под видеосюжетами есть расшифровки. У немецкой радиостанции Deuche Welle есть сайт на английском языке. В проект Locals входят 9 англоязычных сайтов, каждый из которых освещает события в соответствующей европейской стране. Если интересует конкретная страна, то можно пойти в Википедию, найти раздел СМИ страна и выбрать из списка газет и изданий то, которое больше понравится. Например, для Ирландии эта страничка выглядит вот так. А если при чтении зарубежных газет будет не хватать новостей о России, загляните на англоязычные версии российских СМИ. Небольшой минус — большинство статей написаны не носителями языка, а представляют собой перевод с русского.
Но это не значит, что такие статьи не интересны изучающим английский — есть чему поучиться. На Puzzle English мы регулярно делаем подкасты, разборы новостных заметок и ТВ-шоу.

When pressed to say where her roots are, she recalled the image in the Koran of a tree that has its roots not in the earth but in the air. With an unprecedentedly mobile world population, writers are everywhere on the frontline of cultural exchange, putting into words the experiences of millions whose own identities are contested and denied. Yet writers themselves hate to be categorised: there is something about being a writer that is all about putting your roots in the air. Stories, on the other hand, grow downwards, seeking the cultural nutrients in the soil. 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.
Gibbs will follow local favorite son Gary Lindstrom, who announced the end of his lengthy public service career by not seeking re-election to the House seat. In local municipal elections in April, voters opted for change in a number of races. In Frisco, repercussions from the 2005 debate over bringing Home Depot to town were evident, as the top two vote-getters in the town council election were vocal opponents to the big box. Attorney Kent Willis and brewery owner Woody Van Gundy both won seats with the highest vote tallies, and restaurant owner Dan Fallon kept the seat he was appointed to in 2004. In Dillon, incumbent Mayor Barbara Davis easily won reelection, but voting for the third town council spot required a recount. A vote margin of a single vote held up as retired doctor Don Parsons won the seat over nonprofit director Lucinda Burns. The year at the resortsIn October, Vail Resorts reported a record year in terms of revenue as well as skier visits, and freshman CEO Rob Katz credited Breckenridge as being a top performer within the company. VR realized a 5. And as always, the race to be the first resort to open was notable again this year. Perennial Opening Day race winner Loveland Ski Area could only sit idly by on the morning of October 12, as friendly competitor Arapahoe Basin turned its lifts a full nine days earlier than it ever had. It perhaps was appropriate this year, as The Legend celebrates its 60th year of operation this season. 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.
