The National Artists Program, a federally funded project held in conjunction with the 2003 Canada Winter Games, will be held in Bathurst and Campbellton, New Brunswick from February 22 to March 8, 2003. The Program will focus on the following four artistic disciplines : Dance, Music, Theatre Arts and Visual Arts. The primary objective is to create artistic works inspired by and representative of the spirit of the Canada Games. The Games motto "Come Celebrate Winter", local settings, Games sporting venues, and the wide diversity of the participants should provide an excellent starting point for these artistic works. Four participants from each province and territory between the ages of 16 and 23 years of age(one in each of the four disciplines) will be featured during the two weeks of the Games. The participant will travel on the chartered airplanes as part of the provincial/territorial teams, the cost being borne by the federal government. The philosophy of the National Artists Program is to "bring together bright and talented young artists from each province and territory(representing a variety of disciplines) and challenge them, under the guidance of senior arts facilitators, to use the games as the inspiration for their art in order to see "the artistic and cultural dynamics that can be produced when the best of Canada's budding athletes come together with the best of Canada's emerging artists. 2, record 1, English, - National%20Artists%20Program

Le Programme national des artistes est un projet financé par les gouvernements fédéral, provinciaux et territoriaux dans le cadre des Jeux du Canada. Le programme englobe les quatre disciplines artistiques suivantes : Danse, Théâtre, Musique et Arts visuels. L'objectif principal est de réaliser des œuvres artistiques qui s'inspirent de l'esprit des Jeux du Canada et qui l'illustrent. Le thème des Jeux; les atouts de la région, les sites de compétition des Jeux, et le caractère distinct de chaque participant devraient constituer une excellente source d'inspiration. Quatre artistes de chaque province et territoire (un par discipline) auront l'occasion de se mettre en valeur durant les Jeux du Canada. Les participants et participantes voyageront aux frais du gouvernement fédéral avec les équipes provinciales et territoriales. La Société d'accueil verra aux repas, à l'hébergement et au transport local des artistes durant les deux semaines des Jeux. Le Programme national des artistes a pour philosophie de réunir des jeunes artistes brillants et talentueux de chaque province et territoire qui œuvrent dans diverses disciplines et de les inviter, sous la supervision de mentors, à utiliser les Jeux comme source d'inspiration artistique, afin de voir quelle dynamique artistique et culturelle peut se dégager lorsque les meilleurs jeunes athlètes et les meilleurs jeunes artistes se rencontrent. 2, record 1, French, - Programme%20national%20des%20artistes

The French government is also depending its focus on g. e. c. Alstrom's "Pendular train", which has been criticized by the French public as the poor man's TGV. The first prototype expected to debut next year will travel at TGV speeds of 190 to 220 miles-per-hour on the special TGV lines and 140 miles-per-hour on conventional track. 1, record 2, English, - pendular%20train

La technologie pendulaire permet de compenser l'insuffisance de dévers : grâce à des cylindres hydrauliques et à des dispositifs de compensation (pendulum links), les voitures se penchent vers l'intérieur de la courbe. Ainsi, les passagers peuvent continuer à lire ou à bavarder sans renverser leur café ni s'agripper aux bras de leur fauteuil. 2, record 2, French, - train%20pendulaire
