What is snowskating?... it's skateboarding on snow. That's just the most basic explanation out there, but of course there a some more variables.... There is the technical side of snowskating that resembles the street style way of skateboarding with its flips and ollies. At the other end of the spectrum there is the surf-like snowskating style like longboards on snow, where you find your way through deep pow in a flow way of riding. The first snowboard was called the Snurfer which was invented around 1964. It consisted of some sort of small surfboard and a rope in front of the board to hold on too. There were no bindings present, so you could say the first snowboard was actually a snowskate. 2, record 5, English, - snowskating

Pendant cette semaine, les poètes réciteront des poèmes dans les villes et villages canadiens. Ils ne le feront pas en studio ni dans des amphithéâtres, mais plutôt là où ils sentent l'envie de le faire, que ce soit dans un parc public, un véhicule de transport en commun ou un salon de coiffure, ou même dans la rue. En outre, les poètes distribueront des recueils de poésie. La Semaine de la poésie à l'improviste est une initiative de Wendy Morton, une poétesse de Victoria. L'idée lui est venue que la poésie trouverait des adeptes si plus de gens y étaient exposés, peu importe l'endroit. Il faut également signaler l'importante contribution de abebooks.com, le promoteur de cet événement en collaboration avec la Victoria Read Society.

World Environment Day, commemorated each year on 5 June, is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enchances political attention and action. Our agenda is to give a human face to environmental issues; empower people to become active agents of sustainable and equitable development; promote an understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues; and advocate partnership which will ensure all nations and peoples enjoy a safer and more prosperous future. World Environment Day is a people's event with colourful activities such as street rallies, bicycle parades, green concerts, essays and poster competitions in schools, tree planting, as well as recycling and clean-up campaigns. 1, record 15, English, - World%20Environment%20Day

La Journée mondiale de l'environnement a été lancée par l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies en 1972 afin de marquer l'ouverture de la Conférence de Stockholm sur l'Environnement humain. Une autre résolution adoptée le même jour par l'Assemblée générale est à l'origine de la création du PNUE. La Journée mondiale de l'environnement peut-être célébrée de multiples façons, y compris des marches, des défilés à vélo, des concerts, des concours de rédaction et de dessin dans les écoles, des plantations d'arbres, des campagnes de recyclage et de nettoyage et bien d'autres activités encore. Dans de nombreux pays, cet événement est un occasion pour promouvoir l'intérêt et l'action au niveau politique. Ce jour là, des chefs d'États, des premiers ministres et de ministres de l'environnement prononcent des discours dans lesquels ils s'engagent à agir pour la sauvegarde de notre Terre. Des engagements visant l'établissement de structures gouvernementales permanentes destinées à la gestion et à la planification économique de l'environnement sont pris officiellement. 1, record 15, French, - Journ%C3%A9e%20mondiale%20de%20l%27environnement

Le Gîte Ami is a homeless shelter in Hull. Since 1983, homeless persons are provided with temporary shelter for up to seven days per month. During this period, they may obtain meals without headaches and, have access to housing research resources and also obtain income, particularly through employment. The provision of temporary shelter is based on a perspective emphasizing self-empowerment and therefore aims at encouraging these individuals in their own efforts at reintegration into society. In a family atmosphere, these persons may therefore regain their strength and create bonds, both of which are essential for getting off the street. 2, record 16, English, - Le%20G%C3%AEte%20Ami

Situé à Hull, Le Gîte Ami est un refuge pour les sans-abri. Depuis 1983, les personnes itinérantes peuvent y loger pour une période de sept jours par mois. Cette période leur permet de se nourrir sans casse-tête tout en ayant accès à des ressources pour trouver un endroit où loger et de l'argent pour vivre, notamment par l'accès au travail. L'offre d'un refuge temporaire s'inscrit dans une perspective de prise en charge et vise ainsi à encourager ces gens dans la poursuite des démarches individuelles de réinsertion sociale. Dans un climat familial, ces personnes peuvent donc se refaire des forces et créer des liens, deux éléments essentiels pour sortir de la rue. 2, record 16, French, - Le%20G%C3%AEte%20Ami

Wind in urban areas is generally calmer than those in rural areas. This reduction in velocity is due the frictional effects of the city's vertical surfaces. However, some street and building configurations within a city can channel the wind and increase its velocity through a venturi effect.

Si la réduction des vitesses est le principal objectif des mesures d'apaisement de la circulation, celles-ci ont un effet sur les volumes d'automobiles et cela sans réduire l'accessibilité aux quartiers apaisés.

On s'épargne ainsi un inconvénient des mesures traditionnelles qui impliquent de changer les sens de rue ou la création de cul-de-sac.

A highly efficient urban-transportation system proposed by Nobel laureate Arno Penzias at Bell Laboratories, that would dispense with buses, subways and private cars. In his vision a fleet or passenger vans, each equipped with a global-positioning system and cellular phone(plus whatever amenities its operator chose to offer)-all linked by computer to a central dispatching program, would provide total customized coverage of every street and every neighborhood in town, 24 hours a day. Through the computer and the cell phones, drivers would receive destination instructions; using GPS, dispatchers would keep tabs on the real-time progress of each vehicle. Passengers would call up the service, be met with minimum delay transfer only if necessary and relax while professional drivers took them to their desired destination. 1, record 26, English, - passenger%20vans%20fleet
