Prepositions of movement

Prepositions are used to show movement to or from a place.
For example:-
to, through, across
We use to to show movement with the aim of a specific destination.

For example:-
I moved to Germany in 1998.
He's gone to the shops.

We use through to show movement from one side of an enclosed space to the other.    

For example:
The train went through the tunnel.

We use across to show movement from one side of a surface or line to another.

For example:
She swam across the river.

More prepositions of movement

She ran...
	across	the road. (from one side to the other)
	along	the road. (The length of the road.)
	around	the playground.
	away from	the policeman.
	back to	the shop.

Protestas en Hong Kong

Hong Kong mantiene el pulso

Agencias - miércoles, 01 de octubre de 2014

http://www.telecinco.es/informativos/internacional/Manifestaciones-Hong_Kong-democracia-Chi_2_1867980164.html#

Los manifestantes, que llevan en la calle desde el pasado día 22 para pedir más democracia, se preparan ante la posible intervención policial durante la celebración del Día Nacional Chino

 

Decenas de miles de manifestantes chinos mantuvieron ayer el pulso al Gobierno chino al permanecer inamovibles sus protestas en las calles de Hong Kong pese a las presiones del Estado para disolver el movimiento y a las intervenciones de los agentes antidisturbios de la Policía durante el fin de semana.
Los participantes del movimiento Occupy Central pasaron la jornada recopilando víveres y productos para mantener sus acampadas frente a posibles maniobras de las fuerzas de seguridad chinas. Las movilizaciones, que comenzaron el pasado 22 de septiembre, buscan promover mayor democracia para esta antigua colonia británica que volvió a la soberanía china en 1997 y que se rige por el principio Un país, dos sistemas.
Tras ocho días de protesta y después de que la Policía empleara incluso gases lacrimógenos y de pimienta para dispersar a los manifestantes, el movimiento se prepara ahora frente a una posible intervención para su desalojo antes de la celebración hoy del Día Nacional Chino.
Los miles de hongkoneses congregados en los cuatro puntos financieros de la ciudad se abastecieron de agua, frutas, galletas, impermeables, gafas, toallas, máscaras de gas, tiendas de campaña y paraguas al tiempo que levantaban barricadas para hacer frente a las posibles represalias.
«No tenemos miedo. Nos quedaremos aquí esta noche», aseguraba Sui Ying Chen, una estudiante de 18 años de la Escuela de Educación Profesional y Continua de Hong Kong. En su opinión, esta noche era «la más importante» porque «muchas personas poderosas de China continental vendrán a la ciudad» y lo que está pasando allí es algo que el Gobierno  local «no quiere que vean». Por todo ello, durante la última noche de vigilia crecían las especulaciones sobre una posible intervención de la Policía para expulsarles.




«NUESTRO FUTURO».
 Los manifestantes demandan una democracia plena y que el gobernador de la ciudad, Leung Chun-ying, que dimita, después de que Pekín se negase hace un mes a celebrar elecciones libres para la elección del líder regional de Hong Kong en 2017. Pekín gobierna en esta zona bajo una fórmula que concede a la excolonia británica cierta autonomía y libertades que no se disfrutan en China continental.
 «No sé lo que la Policía o el Gobierno me harán, pero estoy 100 por 100 seguro de que debo salir a la calle esta noche», explicaba Ken To, un trabajador de 35 años que lleva un restaurante en el barrio residencial de Mong Kok. «No solo queremos dinero. Queremos a nuestros niños, nuestro futuro, nuestra educación», añadió.
«Aunque me puedan arrestar, me quedaré hasta el último minuto», decía John Choi, de 16 años. «Estamos luchando por nuestro futuro», agregaba.
Los líderes del Partido Comunista se han mostrado preocupados por la posibilidad de que las protestas se extiendan al resto del país, razón por la que censuran las noticias sobre ellas. Las manifestaciones, que Pekín considera «ilegales», son las más multitudinarias en Hong Kong desde que China reanudó su mandato en 1997 y representan un gran desafío para Pekín, desde que aplastó violentamente las protestas pro democracia en Tiananmen en 1989.

'Robotisering kost tot 3 miljoen banen'

ROTTERDAM - Door de technologische ontwikkelingen komen er mogelijk 2 tot 3 miljoen banen op de tocht te staan. Dat meldt onderzoeksbureau Deloitte op basis van eigen onderzoek.

De onderzoekers spreken van een een conservatieve inschatting. Vooral voor lageropgeleiden, zoals administratief medewerkers, assemblagemedewerkers, pizzakoeriers en vakkenvullers is straks mogelijk geen betaald werk meer. Ook taxi-, vrachtwagen- en buschauffeurs lopen een hoog risico. Voor hoger opgeleiden liggen de risico's vooral bij beroepen op kort-hbo-niveau (laborant, verzekeringsagent, opzichter en elektricien) en op hbo/wo-niveau bij beroepen als accountants en analisten.

Mbo'ers

Groepen die hard geraakt worden zijn mbo'ers (1,3 miljoen) en medewerkers in de sectoren economie, recht en management (0,8 miljoen) en techniek (0,5 miljoen), aldus Deloitte.
Het uiteindelijke tempo van de ontwikkelingen wordt sterk beïnvloed door de snelheid waarmee arbeidsbesparende technologie in gebruik wordt genomen door het bedrijfsleven. „De GoogleCar rijdt nog niet op de Nederlandse wegen, maar drones zijn al gemakkelijk te koop in winkels en 3D-printen raakt steeds verder ingeburgerd”, stelt Deloitte.
Ook de ontwikkelingen in de regelgeving over robotisering beïnvloeden het tempo van de ontwikkelingen

Bijna de helft van de banen is binnenkort voor robots
