Préparation à l'Agregation interne
------------------------------------
Les collègues qui préparent l'agreg interne se retrouvent sur la liste
agreg-anglais@egroups.fr crée par Jean Sahai, notre collègue de Guadeloupe ( sharad@ais.gp ). Cela leur a permis de confronter leurs
expériences (décevantes!!!) du CNED, et de produire ensemble des lettres de
protestation.
Vous trouverez le texte de ces lettres sur le site: http://agreg.fr.fm
Si vous voulez préparer l'agreg interne, ne manquez pas les précieuses infos que Jean a
rassemblées pour vous sur tous les aspects de l'épreuve. Ne restez pas isolés, allez
visiter: http://agreg.fr.fm , vous y trouverez une mine
d'infos utiles!
Et n'hésitez pas à vous inscrire à la liste ( http://www.egroups.fr/subscribe/agreg-anglais

interne....et se posent les mêmes questions que vous!

Foot and Mouth Disease (The Scout Report -- March 2)
------------------------------------
Foot and Mouth Disease -- MAFF
http://www.maff.gov.uk/animalh/diseases/fmd/default.htm
Foot and Mouth -- BBC News [RealPlayer]
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/in_depth/uk/2001/foot_and_mouth/default.stm
Foot and mouth disease is a highly contagious but not necessarily
fatal viral infection that is transmitted through dust particles in
the air, infecting the hooves and mouths of pigs, cattle, sheep, and
goats. In recent weeks, a string of cases have been reported in
England, sparking fears of another repeat of the epidemic of 1967, in
which over 400,000 animals were destroyed. Farmers and government
officials have so far followed the standard plan for dealing with
such outbreaks: isolate affected farms and destroy infected herds. As
part of this effort, local authorities have been empowered to prevent
all foot traffic in designated areas and there has even been talk of
delaying the impending general election in Britain for fear that
politicians and staff on the campaign trail might spread the disease.
Users who want to learn about the disease and measures to control it
should consult these two sites. The first is provided by the
Ministries of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food (MAFF), and offers the
best source of official information and news on the outbreak and the
government's response. The second site, a special report from the
BBC, contains breaking news, analysis, background information, and
audio and video selections. [MD]
[ pour l'écrit et les documents officiels, voyez le site MAAF. Une 'fact sheet' vous
donnera tous les renseignements utiles:
http://www.maff.gov.uk/animalh/diseases/fmd/leaflet1.htm
le site de la BBC est plus "affectif", prenant en considération la détresse
des éleveurs.

[ trop complexe pour des élèves du secondaire]
Although the damage from Wednesday's earthquake has been estimated at
$2 billion, many in Seattle and western Washington feel rather lucky.
The 6.8-magnitude quake has been linked to only one death (a heart
attack), and the physical damage could have been considerably worse.
Experts attribute the relatively moderate damage to the fact that the
quake began 30 miles underground and to the retrofit measures taken
since the mid-1980s to brace area roads, bridges, and buildings.
Still, a number of counties in western Washington have been declared
federal disaster areas making available federal funds and loans for
uninsured losses, emergency housing, and to repair public facilities.
While some people remain hospitalized, for the most part Seattle has
returned to daily business, with most schools and highways open. The
clean-up and repairs, however, will likely take several weeks.
The _Seattle Post-Intelligence_'s special report on the quake
contains breaking news, archived stories, transportation updates, and
photos. The _Seattle Times_ offers a large collection of photos,
while the _San Francisco Chronicle_'s report includes links to
numerous stories as well as another photo gallery. CNN's report
includes video selections, related stories, and some additional
resources. Scientific information on the quake and related resources
on earthquakes in general can be found at the above three sites from
the US Geological Survey (USGS) and the one from Pacific Northwest
Seismograph Network (PNSN). [MD]
