The word “map” is always associated with geography and used by teachers to show the parts of Great I Britain and their capitals. But at the same time the map is a great source of activities challenging and appealing to the students. I tried some of them in different groups of students from elementary level up to upper$intermediate. Activity 1 The aim of this activity is to enable students to find the isles on which The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated. The students look at the map and the teacher gives the key sentence: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated on the British Isles… What other isles can you find? All of them belong to the UK. For further practice you can choose one or two islands to find more information. You can also attract your students attention to the pronunciation, transcription and the use of articles with geographical names. Activity 2 You can choose one for further practice, for example the Isle of Man. I tried “gap filling exercise”, it’s a pair work. Students ask questions to find information about the Isle of Man. Student A Country name: Isle of Man. Government type: parliamentary democracy. Administrative divisions: 24 local authorities, each with its own elections. Constitution: unwritten.

  • Mount Murray Report
    16. THE COMPLIANCE ISSUE i) Introduction 16.1 In the last sub-section of our account of government actions following Professor Crow’s Report, we reported on deficiencies of action in the current failure to recognise or to accept the need for ensurance of compliance with laid down procedures. In this section we take this important matter further. 16.2 In 1991 the procedures for the receipt and processing, consideration and determination of planning applications by the Department of Local Government and the Environment were rudimentary and rarely documented. 16.3 The irregularities which occurred in respect of the Mount Murray development appear to have arisen for reasons which include the shortcomings of procedures, the failures of staff of the planning office, the failures of Planning Committee, and the absence of credible mechanisms to devise proper procedures to deter such failures and/or to identify and correct those which occurred. 16.4 Accordingly, we have given careful consideration to the issues involving the proper regulation of planning applications and their determination by the Planning Committee and to the enforcement of compliance with such regulatory procedures as are introduced. 16.5 We make specific recommendations in section 19 in respect of many of the matters of concern which we raise in this particular section. ii) Corporate Approach 16.6 In a pro forma letter dated 5th August 2002, Mr Corkill, Chief Minister, presented a “new initiative” on behalf of the Council of Ministers which he called “Corporate Government and Business Planning”. The new initiative is said to seek to secure greater corporate working and greater use of business planning within government, to be about changing the role of the Council of Ministers, and to be about changing the role of the Chief Officers Group.1 The Chief Officers’ Group is described in sub- section 7 (xxi) above.

  • Celtic League Halts Dangerous Weapons Tests
    Celtic News Archive 1996 - 2002 Celtic League halts dangerous weapons tests - 24-05-96 This week, the Celtic League successfully frustrated secret UK MOD attempts to start tests on countermeasures for so called "smart weapons". We argued the tests would pose a danger to ships and aircraft in the Irish sea area. The MOD initially would neither confirm nor deny our claims (then good sense appears to have prevailed). The tests at Aberporth missile range in mid Wales have now been deferred for a month. The League argued that the technology aimed at disabling Global Positioning Systems, on which the smart weapons depend, could pose a danger to others such as commercial ships, fishing craft and aircraft which use the systems. We set out below (in lay man's terms) detail to back up that argument. GPS is a vital component of modern navigation: It aids accurate navigation, geographic measurement of islands in the ocean, life saving and the control of rockets. Its pinpoint accuracy makes it a vital component of so called smart weapon technology which was demonstrated to such devastating effect during the Gulf War. GPS was originally a project of the US military which built the system of 24 satellites which span the world. Since 1990 the technology has been available for civil use and this enables a wide range of users to determine accurately the position of ships, land vehicles or aircraft. The GPS satellites rotate around the the earth in an elliptical orbit at an average height of 20,000 km. Eight satellites are "visible" at any one time in an intersecting orbital pattern.
