legislature just weeks before. Gregoire told supporters that February 13

据“中央社”报道,加拿大魁北克省圣吉德镇(St-Jude)10日晚间地层下陷,小镇一栋被喻为最美丽的民宅陷入地底。11日已救出一人,仍有三人失 踪。
获救的是民宅男主人。援救人员虽拒绝表示男主人情况如何,但吉德镇长贝拉弗(Yves de Bellefeuille)当天透露,情形不乐观。
陷入地底的房屋,沿着目前已断裂的崖壁而建,靠近风景优美的雅玛斯卡河(Yamaska River)。地层下陷后,这栋房屋、三辆车子,及一段石灰路面,全都陷入地底。
吉德镇位于蒙特娄东北方50公里处,整个小镇看起来绿油油的,地质主要为黏土与流沙。当地居民说,此地以前也发生过自然灾害,但从没有像这次这么 严重。数年前一场地层下陷,使当地一座小桥完全消失。
民宅陷入地底后,还有一点绿色屋顶露出地面,援救人员当天都在援救陷入地底的四名人士。他们必须费力清除湿泥才能勉强钻进屋内,找寻失踪者。由于 房子会幌动,援救人员有两次进入屋内又退出。当天傍晚,总算找到了一人。
吉德镇消防员葛瑞格华(Francois Gregoire)表示,地层下陷的地方留下一个大洞,现场情形令人心悸。

郝琳(右二)、刘湘云(右一)和格雷瓜尔(左二)完成大河城堡的交易
有香港居民身分的中国亿万富豪、云南柏联集团总裁郝琳20日在法国买入波尔多一家酒庄并在与儿子乘搭直升机巡视时失事后,他的12岁儿子的遗体21日已找到,但他本人下落不明,据信已经遇难。他的妻子兼柏联集团董事长刘湘云因在临上飞机前「害怕直升机」而没有随行,倖免于难。
法新社21日引述现场消息说,出事前郝琳的妻子刘湘云因「害怕直升机」,在最后一刻决定不陪丈夫和儿子登机出游,结果逃过一劫。她表示,起飞前原酒庄主人葛瓦(James Gregoire)曾按照清单,彻底进行飞行安全检查,当时葛瓦甚至不许别人替他关上机门,直至完成检查为止。有消息说,直升机坠机前正飞返酒庄,距目的地仅数分钟航程。
云南「春城晚报」21日说,郝琳一家的云南家属已于当天从成都启程前往法国处理善后事宜。法国方面则由一位副省长在事故现场指挥搜救工作。郝琳的手机已警方被定位。

A Russian milestone: 1st black elected to office

Associated Press Writer – Sun Jul 25, 9:22 am ET
NOVOZAVIDOVO, Russia – People in this Russian town used to stare at Jean
Gregoire Sagbo because they had never seen a black man. Now they say they
see in him something equally rare — an honest politician.
Sagbo last month became the first black to be elected to office in Russia.

瑞士拒绝一对夫妇公民身份申请,因为他们“拒绝与异性握手”
信源:澎湃新闻|编辑:2018-08-18
因“拒绝与异性握手”,一对夫妇无法成为瑞士公民。
据8月18日报道,瑞士洛桑的一对穆斯林夫妇因拒绝与异性握手而无法成为瑞士公民。
洛桑市长格雷格瓦尔·尤诺德(Gregoire Junod)表示,市政府拒绝批准这对夫妇的公
民身份申请,是因为他们缺乏对性别平等的尊重。
雷格瓦尔·尤诺德透露,洛桑市政委员会数月前曾向这对夫妇提出质询,以确认他们是
否符合获取公民身份的标准,17日公布的最终裁决显示,他们没能达标。
雷格瓦尔·尤诺德没有透露这对夫妇的国籍和其他细节,仅表示他们没有与异性握手。
“他们对于回答异性提出的问题也显得十分困难。”雷格瓦尔·尤诺德补充说。
这对夫妇将有30天时间对该决定提出上诉。
《卫报》报道称,一些虔诚的穆斯林认为,伊斯兰教不允许他们与直系亲属之外的异性
进行身体接触。
作为曾向这对夫妇提出质询的三人委员会成员之一,洛桑副市长皮埃尔-安托万·希尔
德布兰德(Pierre-Antoine Hildbrand)对于当局拒绝这对夫妇的公民身份申请的决定
表示“非常满意”。... 阅读全帖

election history, Republican Dino Rossi was declared the winner in the
initial automated count and again in the subsequent automated recount. It

来自主题: HongKong版 - 宝宝取英文名的困惑
我要纠正一点。新加坡政府官方用简体字,和民众给孩子起名用不用拼音一点关系都没
有。事实上,任何人只要他们想,都可以用客家话、广东话、闽方言拼写来起名,但是
之所以用拼音的越来越多,是因为他们都意识到拼音、简体字、普通话这三样东西是大
势所趋、与时俱进。是他们的政府和民众务实的表现。
香港这边,你说的学普通话的劲头,也是港人务实的一面,这不需要政府来做什么额外
工作,环境使然。另外,你说的有个很矛盾的地方,既然越来越多的港人愿意学好普通
话+了解大陆,那么Liu Dehua这种拼写又怎么会不被正确念出呢?如果仅仅是为了方便
,给孩子同时起个英文名不就完了?所以我不认同你说的“考虑这么拼写的家长都是这
么考虑的”,相反,我基本相信这样做的家长是怕孩子在香港长大但得不到认同、被排
挤或者被歧视。
回到起名字这个问题上,我不是说要带着大国沙文主义的态度来看这件事,认为“广东
话比普通话低一等”云云,而是简单从文化传承的角度来说。你如果去过伦敦、纽约,
那里有各种各样的族裔,没有人会说“我们为了方便所以给孩子起个英文名”,你照样
会看到成千上万的拿着美国护照/绿卡的法国人叫Gregoire,德国... 阅读全帖

Not yet, that's just Gregoire's proposal.
Legislature needs to approve it for it to take effect.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Visitors to Washington state parks may have to pay a
fee, starting in July.
A bill to create the Discover Pass passed the Legislature and is awaiting
Gov. Chris Gregoire's signature.
A pass would cost $10 a day or $30 a year per vehicle.
The Olympian reports the passes are expected to generate more than $64
million every two years. Most of the money would go to the state Parks and
Recreation Commission. Smaller amounts would go to the Fish and Wildlife
Department and the De... 阅读全帖
