best place for outdoor world competitions in speed skating. Special refrigerating equipment provides the ice-cover of the skating field 8 months a year and ice tracks are kept ready for skating all year round. It is open for public skating December through March. Admission: about US $4. Skates rent is available on the first floor outside of the rink. A hotel (the Premier Medeu) is located near the rink. At 1691-meters above sea level, a nature lover will find beautiful mountain scenes surrounding the skating rink. The Medeu Gorge, located at 1520-1750 metres in the Kishkene Almaty river valley, is bordered by mountain ridges: Kim asar on the west, Kabyrgatau on its east, and Kunbel on the south-east. A road runs through Medeu gorge towards the Mynzhylky gorge. The gorge has 21,000 hectare of forests with birches, Tien Shan spruces, and mountain ashes. One of the attractions is a dike built in the valley of the Kishkene Almaty fiver to protect the city from landslides. The dike's collector has an impressive capacity of 6 000,000 cubic meters of water. It is this dike that has kept back a desastrous landscape in 1973.

The harshest winter weather in a decade lashes (охватывать) Europe, disrupting (разрушать) travel by air, land and sea — and claims (угрожать) the lives of hundreds
BY David Gordon

The new year made a stormy entrance last week, lashing the Continent with the severest cold snap (похолодание) in a decade. Snow, ice and subfreezing temperatures spelled (означать) chaos, and sometimes death, from the Mediterranean* to the Urals. More than 220 deaths, mostly among the homeless and the elderly, were reported as far south as Valencia, Spain.

Travel became a Homeric* task. In the Caucasus, an avalanche (лавина) sealed (окружить кольцом) 300 people in a mountain tunnel connecting Russia and Georgia for days. Air traffic was disrupted as was train travel. A Paris-bound Eurostar train carrying some 500 passengers got stuck in the Chunnel* for more than two hours, its engine stalled (останавливать) by snow. Ice clogged (препятствовать) river traffic on the Loire, Elbe, Main

and Danube. Even England's Thames* froze in places for the first time since 1963.

The brutal weather put a damper (действовать угнетающе) on New Year celebrations. Those who booked holiday trips to resorts on the Adriatic found snow, not sun, on beaches. Parisians ice-skated in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower early in the week, but by New Year's Day the city was a ghost town as its citizens hid from the chill (прохлада). In London, the freeze even muzzled (заставлять молчать) the chimes of Big Ben for a few hours on New Year's Eve.

The cold snap didn't spoil all the fun. In London, brave bathers still took the annual New Year's Day dip (ныряние) in Hyde Park's Serpentine.* And in the Netherlands, some 16,000 Dutch donned (надевать) ice skates Saturday for a 200-kilometer race across the frozen lakes and canals in Friesland. That's marking the best of a bitter situation.

of Utah. The city was founded in 1847 by a group of Mormon pioneers led by their prophet, Brigham Young, who fled hostility and violence in the Midwest.

locally within a small community that is working together.
There is also such a contrast between cities and smaller towns and villages.One of the reasons we moved from a small with 150,000 people to a smaller town of 10,000 was that the scale and complexity of the place seems so much more manageable.
