Re your question about English teaching program in Hungary.  As I
promised earlier here comes a brief description of a program called LEED
(Languge for Eastern European Development). This foundation was
established in 1991 as a non-profit organization dedicated to improving
the quality and scope of tecnical English language training in Central
and Eastern Euprope. In 1992-93, LEED will initiate three projects.
1. The English for special purposes project.
2. The professional development project.
3. The local goverment intership project.
Projects are carried out by Americans selected for their academic and proffesio
nal backgrounds in business, law, and the applied sciences.

Hi folks,
I am new to this group, so let me start with a few words
regarding my person:
My parents are both Hungarians, but I was born in Munich,
Germany. Right now I am studying physics at the university
of Cologne, working at the Institute for Mathematics.
My problem is that I forgot almost entirely my mother tongue
Hungarian. So half a year ago I have started learning it over 
again. I am still in the phase of a beginner, but what would really
help me, is a 

      HUNGARIAN DICTIONARY as a FILE,

because for me as a programmer it is ridiculous to look up every 
single hungarian word in book, while I am used to get every help
I need by one keystroke in an interactive environment.

Can anybody tell me where something like a collection of hungarian 
words and their translations into English or German is available by
FTP or can anybody mail me such a list. A vocabulary with a few 
thousands items should suffice.

Thanks in advance,

           Zoltan

HUNGARIAN PARLIAMENT DEBATES MINORITIES LAW.  According to MTI,
Parliament began discussion of the long awaited law on minorities
on 29 September. The text was prepared in close cooperation with
minority leaders, and its codification took much longer than
expected.  The intention of the law is to stop assimilation of
minorities by assuring them collective minority rights and
parliamentary representation.  In the draft law under debate in
Budapest, members of minority groups would also retain a number of
individual rights. Collective rights did not figure in the
post-World War II treaties, but Hungary has brought the idea up on
a number of occasions since.  Under this concept, an official
representative body would be given legal status to pursue the
interests of an ethic or national group. (Judith Pataki, RFE/RL,
Inc.)
 
HUNGARIAN-SLOVAK CONTACTS.  Hungarian Prime Minister Jozsef Antall
received a delegation of the ethnic Hungarian parties represented
in the Slovak parliament, led by Coexistence Chairman Miklos
Duray, MTI reported on 29 September.  The two sides agreed on the
need for good relations between Hungary and an independent
Slovakia and for a mutually acceptable solution to the
disagreements over the Gabcikovo-Nagymaros hydroelectric project
and the sections of the Slovak constitution concerning national
minorities.  The same day a delegation of the opposition Alliance
of Young Democrats (FIDESZ) left Budapest for Bratislava for talks
with Slovak Foreign Minister Milan Knazko and other officials and
with representatives of Slovakia's Hungarian minority. The FIDESZ
delegation continues on to Prague for talks with Czech officials.

   Well, I've always thought Oz and Canada were faced with similar problems
   re cities... Toronto and Montreal, Sydney and Melbourne... Heck, both
   countries had to establish their National Capital Regions in "artificial"
   places like Canberra and Ottawa ;-) which were halfway in between!
   (ok I like Canberra and i like Ottawa/Hull :-) but where would they be
   without the government?)
   
   BTW, AW Reed's "Aboriginal placenames" gives "nganbirra" - "meeting place"
   as Canberra's origin, but also says that this word and another candidate,
   "kaamberra" may mean "woman's breasts", presumably because of the nearby
   hills. Ottawa seems to have been the name of the local tribe, and the
   name means "the traders" according to the Can Encyclopedia. Toronto seems
   to mean "place of meeting". Odd, because Toronto is the financial capital,
   while Ottawa is where the parliament is. But we do things upside down 
   up here sometimes. ;-)

Quite apart from the expense of shifting that heavy stuff in the first

It will certainly need to be formally registered, which means it will
need to comply with Australian Design Rules.  They are known to be tough.

My advice - sell up, and buy locally.  What's wrong with the good ol'

	Greetings,
	
	Lately, on a local Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) channel 
there has been a TV science fiction series by the name of "The Girl From
Tomorrow", which was produced by Film Australia around 1990. It is about
Alana who is from the year 3000 and her involuntary trips back and forth 
among the years 3000, 2500 and 1990 using a time-capsule and time-gate, etc. 

	The series was based on a science fiction by Mark Shireffef (sp ?)
and another author but I couldn't catch the latter's name. I wonder
if anybody knows and cares enough to email me the full name of the
novel and its authors. If possible, could you also inform me where in
Canada I can obtain a copy of this novel ? Please email me because 
I may miss the follow-ups on this newsgroup.

	My guess is the novel was also from Australia.

	Much appreciated,

The problem with dung beetles was not Cane Toads. Australian dung beetles
were adapted to the smaller faeces of kangaroos they couldn't cope
with cow faeces. This is why larger dung beetles were introduced. I'm
told its been very successful. (My memory is that the Beetles were African).
Also Cane Toads were introduced to Australia, Fiji and Hawaii to control not
flies but the Cane Beetle.

Cane Toads are still expanding their range but native amphibians are declining.

This is an appeal to all for humanitarian aid to "Flood affected people of

by the worst floods of its history- the damage has been unprecedented where overtwo thousands are dead, about three million have been uprooted, the communication infrastructure has been severely damaged, more than 50% crops have been destroyed and disease is spreading in affected areas. The people of Pakistan are contributing a great deal of help, but damage being so vast requires our assistance.
Within USA, flood relief account has been opened at number of places where contributions can be deposited. In Denver (Colorado USA), the following people are
collecting flood relief fund. Contributions can be made in cash or through a
