Canada advances to World Junior semifinals

BUFFALO, N.Y. Casey Cizikas scored a tiebreaking goal at 17:28 of the second period as Canada overcame outstanding goaltending from Benjamin Conz to post a 4-1 victory over Switzerland in the quarter-finals of the world junior hockey championship on Sunday.
The victory put Canada into a semifinal showdown on Monday night with the host United States, the team that ended Canada's five-year winning run with an overtime victory in the final last year in Saskatoon.
"It's the U.S.," said Canadian coach Dave Cameron. "There will be a lot of emotion but at this stage of the tournament it comes down to how we play, regardless of the opponent."
Louis Leblanc scored 4:17 into the third to secure a win that gave Canada a 19-0 all-time record against Switzerland. Zack Kassian, back from a two-game suspension for a hit to the head, scored into an empty net with 1:59 to play.
Canada outshot the Swiss 50-22, including 23-7 in the first period, but saw Conz make several spectacular saves to keep his mostly overmatched team in the game.

Small shops vs. Supermarkets

In the past few years countless small shops hale been forced to close because of the changes in public shopping habits and the increasing popularity of supermarkets. But do the benefits of supermarkets really outweigh those of small local shops? We cannot deny that supermarkets do have certain advantages. Firstly they provide a wide variety of goods at unbeatably low prices. Furthermore they create jobs for a greate number of people thus helping to reduce unemployment. In addition to this they are ideal for those shoppers who do not have time to visit more than one shop in order to do their weekly shopping. On the other hand the small local shop offers certain benefits that supermarkets will never be able to offer their customers. Due to their size small shops fit into residential areas easily making them more convenient in the case of ‘emergency’ shopping. Moreover they generally stay open later than supermarkets. Finally supermarkets will never be able to beat your local shopkeeper when it comes to friendly service.

Why is the expression ‘Mayday’ used as a distress call?

The term ‘Mayday’ is the internationally recognized radio telephone signal of distress. It is only used when a ship is in great danger and needs help immediately. The signal is transmitted on a wavelength of 2,182 kHz which is permanently monitored be rescue services on the shore. The use of the expression has a very straightforward explanation. It simply came from the French phrase’m’aidez’ which means ‘help me’. It was officially adopted internationally in 1927.




Why do they drive on the left In Britain and on the right in other countries?

The reason for this goes back to the days when people traveled by horse. Most people are right-handed and thus the left is the natural side to ride on if you are on horseback and need your right hand to hold a sword in case of trouble. So why didn’t the rest of the world do the same. Because of Napoleon Bonaparte. He insisted that his armies marched on the right and as he marched through Europe he imposed this rule wherever he went. In the twentieth century Adolf Hitler did the same. Signs reading ‘ Rechts fahren’ were put up whenever he took over a country.

The winner of "terrain throw" was Krzysztof Chmiel from Olsztyn. He had got one of Pestek's hammers before competition and was unbeatable. He as first defeated track and from near distance broke a tv-set.

The Dragon Boat Festival

In China, toward the end of June, people celebrate a holiday known as the Dragon Boat Festival. The festival is held to honour the memoryof Qu Xuan a politican and poet who in the year 278 B.C. have commited suicide by jumping into river. It is said that local people threw rice dumplings into water to save Xuan's soul from the evil spirits in the river.
