Next Harry Potter

Izdavač J.K. Rowlingove misli da je pronašao dostojnu zamjenu za Harrya Pottera. Radi se o liku dječaka arheologa iz knjige 'Tunnels' autora Roderick Gordo i Brian Williamsa. Ta knjiga ima sve: dječaka arheologa, dobre vile, izgubljeni svijet i veoma zanimljivo putovanje u središte zemlje - rekao je Cunningham. Početkom 90-ih Cunningham je napravio revoluciju na tržištu knjiga otkrivši J.K. Rowling, čija je serija o Potteru do sada prodana u više od 325 miliona primjeraka sirom svijeta, što je autorici donijelo zaradu od preko milijardu dolara.

Tornado u Bosni?

Nagle klimatske promjene koje se osjete svuda u svijetu, za posljedicu bi mogle imati pojavu tornada u BiH, tvrde klimatolozi. Prošle godine je prvi tornado zabilježen u sjevernoj Dalmaciji. Moskva biljezi 33C , a Banja Luka je u maju bila najtopliji grad Europe. Najtopliji dio ljeta trebalo bi da bude krajem jula i pocetkom augusta. Protekla jesen u Europi bila je najtoplija u posljednjih 1000 godina, a zima ove godine najtoplija u posljednjih 150 godina. Klima u BiH će biti kao na sjeveru Grčke, predvidja se.

Führer Stadt

Adolf Hitler je i dalje počasni građanin Bad Doberana, grada koji će biti domacin godišnjice G8 susreta. Tokom nacističke prevlasti, više od 4 000 gradova je odlikovalo Hitlera kao počasnog građanina. Nakon 1945. većina je poništila takvu počast, ali ne i Bad Doberan. Oni su više vremena u komunizmu proveli pokušavajući zaboraviti prošlost nego suociti se s njom.

FASCINATING PEOPLE, Part 12

Pierre Trudeau was the fifteenth Prime Minister of Canada between 1968 and 1984.He was a charismatic figure who dominated the Canadian political scene and aroused passionate reactions. Admirers praise the force of Trudeau's intellect. They salute his political acumen in preserving national unity and establishing the Charter of Rights and Freedoms within Canada's constitution. Detractors fault Trudeau for poor administrative practices, arrogance, and lack of understanding of Canada outside Quebec. Nevertheless, few would dispute that Trudeau was a towering figure who helped redefine Canada. Trudeau led Canada through some of its most tumultuous times and was often the centre of controversy. Known for his flamboyance, he dated celebrities, sometimes wore sandals in the House of Commons, was accused of using an obscenity during debate there, and once did a pirouette behind the back of Queen Elizabeth II.
