Telecommunications, transport and electricity companies are on alert after a series of copper cable thefts in Central Victoria. Key pointsCopper thieves have targeted several places along the Calder HighwayCopper cabling was stolen on Sunday, causing $400,000 damage to Telstra infrastructureAuthorities say thieves are putting themselves and the community at risk of electrocutionCopper is commonly used in electrical motors, wiring, and anything that requires electricity. It has a wide range of uses including powering homes, in mobile network technology, and streetlights. The price of copper is $ Last year it reached a record-high market price of $14/kg. On Sunday morning, Telstra technicians discovered the Mount Holden base station in Sunbury was running on backup batteries, due to copper theft. The cut copper power cable at the Mount Holden site.ABC Central Victoria Shannon SchubertAn investigation found power cables for both Telstra and NBN had been cut and removed, disrupting the mobile coverage for Woodend, Mt Macedon, and surrounding areas. Police are investigating the copper thefts in Sunbury. They say cables were cut from two phone towers on May 13 and May 16 in Mt Holden Reserve. "It's understood between $5,000 to $10,000 worth of copper was stolen, causing damage of up to $400,000 to the business," a Victoria Police spokesperson said. Copper thieves cash in the cables at scrap metal yards or online. Electrical and telecommunications companies say copper theft is common.ABC Far North Brendan MounterCommunity at risk of electrocutionPowercor has also been a victim of the rise in copper theft in regional Victoria. "We've had incidents where offenders have ripped out underground copper cables from street lighting and other electricity infrastructure, leaving the community without lighting or power," said Powercor's manager of protective security and network facilities, Michael put themselves and the community at risk of electrocution and death, by leaving wires exposed. "In some cases, we've had live wires left exposed in busy public areas. These criminal acts pose a danger to our customers, communities and staff," Mr Hayes said Powercor had experienced recent incidents across Central Victoria, including in Woodend, Gisborne, and along the Calder is investing in smart technology and surveillance systems to catch criminals in real-time. "Powercor works closely with Victoria Police and other agencies to identify and target copper theft hotspots," Mr Hayes said."If you see copper being stolen, call triple-0."You can report exposed wires to us on 13 24 12. Anyone wishing to report anonymously those they suspect may be involved in copper theft can report it to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000." What you need to know about personal pronouns I, you, he, she, it, we , you they etc 1 Study and memorize! the following tables Singular English Portuguese I eu you familiar tu you semiformal você he ele she ela it* - Because all words in Portuguese are either masculine or feminine there is no specific word for "it". Use "he" or "she" instead. Plural English Portuguese we nós you more than 1 person vocês they masculine* eles they feminine elas * A group is always referred to as masculine if there is one masculine word present. So even if there is a group with 500 women and just one small boy the group is regarded as masculine! 1 Something to remember about personal pronouns The Portuguese very often don't use them. This is because, unlike Englsh, in Portuguese the actual verb contains the information needed to tell you who is doing what. So in English if you say "speak English" you don't know if it is "I speak English", "you speak English" "we speak English" etc. In Portuguese if you say "falo inglês" - it can only mean "I speak English" . So it is not necessary to say the "I" part. Compare the following Nós falamos inglês = We speak English. Falamos inglês = We speak English here the "nós" is omitted. 2 How to say "you" In English we use "you", very economically, for everyone - whether it is your husband, your child, your boss, a group of friends or a group or strangers we are referring to. Brazilian Portuguese is pretty similar to English. Brazilians use você singular and vocês plural for everyone. In European Portuguese the situation is a bit more complex 1 For family and friends the more familiar form "tu" is used. 2 The European Portuguese are also very fond of using the name of the person being addressed instead of using "you". Instead of saying to Alex - "Do you like football?" they'll say to him "Does Alex like football?". 3 In situations where they don't know the name of the person asking directions, talking to people in a shop etc they'll say "the Mister" o senhor or "the lady" a senhora or "the Misters" os senhores or "the Ladies" as senhoras. So instead of saying to someone in front of you in a supermarket queue "Are you going to be long" the Portuguese would say "Is the lady going to be long". Return to Grammar page Skip to Main NavigationSkip to contentWhich player would you like to have seen at United?Sunday 11 June 2023 0700Gabriel Batistuta, Roberto Carlos and Francesco Totti are among the legendary former names revisiting Old Trafford as part of Soccer Aid’s World XI this no doubt each member of the trio would have been fantastic additions to the Manchester United squad in their prime, with Batistuta regularly rumoured with a move even before he scored a wondergoal for Fiorentina at the Theatre of Dreams in 2000. Carlos was a thorn in our side with Real Madrid and one of the world’s great left-backs during the 1990s and 2000s and, while Totti was a loyal Roma man for an astonishing 25 years, he’d have been loved by the crowd here in Manchester. So, on that theme, which players would our writers have loved to see play for United over the years? Let’s start with a man who’s been in the news this week…When Batistuta almost broke the net VideoWhen Batistuta almost broke the netGabriel Batistuta returns to Old Trafford on Sunday, so let’s recall his ferocious goal for Fiorentina at Old Trafford…KARIM BENZEMA Even though the centre-forward showcased his enormous potential with his performances against United in the 2007/08 Champions League, it would have been hard to predict just how brilliant a striker he would become. He scored in the 1-1 draw at the Stade Gerland and said after a 1-0 loss at Old Trafford “I’ve still got a lot of work to do if I want to play at the top level.” However, Sir Alex had already seen enough and tried to buy him, only to later reveal the £42 million asking price was too steep, despite bidding up to £35 million. Instead, the France international went to Real Madrid, where he won five Champions League titles, before joining Al-Ittihad after 14 years of magnificent service. Adam MarshallGARETH BALE It’s no secret that Bale’s rapid ascent to becoming one of the Premier League’s standout performers had caught Sir Alex Ferguson’s eye, prior to our legendary manager’s retirement in 2013. United were heavily linked with the ex-Tottenham winger that summer before his world-record transfer to Real Madrid, and while an Old Trafford move didn’t happen on that occasion, it felt like he was regularly rumoured to be joining the Reds in end-of-season windows that followed. I remember hoping we’d get a deal done particularly in 2018, after his extraordinary Champions League final cameo off the bench against Liverpool, when he suggested in a post-match interview that he needed to play more often after being asked about a potential return to England. The rumours were swirling again at that time, but the Welshman would only end up coming back to these shores for a loan spell with former club Spurs in 2020/21, ahead of announcing his retirement earlier this year. Mikey PartingtonBale with Cristiano Ronaldo after another Champions League I was heartbroken by Ronaldinho in consecutive years, as the Brazilian helped eliminate England on the way to World Cup glory in 2002, before spurning a move to United in favour of Barcelona 12 months later. With the press reporting that the transfer from Paris Saint-Germain was imminent, there were rumours that the once-in-a-generation attacker had even agreed a squad number – would it be the shirt, to fill the considerable void left by David Beckham, who had recently joined Real Madrid? Alas, the then-23-year-old would be unveiled at the Nou Camp, rather than Old Trafford, and Sir Alex Ferguson had to turn to a different Ronny for his attacking plans. Things turned out well for both sides in the end – Cristiano Ronaldo’s exploits in Manchester need no introduction, while Ronaldinho became a Champions League winner and the world’s best player at his new club. But part of me still wonders just how good it would have been to see his sensational samba skills up close. Sam CarneyWESLEY SNEIJDER Sneijder was linked with United for what felt like every single transfer window for a number of years, with the midfield maestro continually displaying his talents on the global stage. He was a key cog in the Netherlands' side that reached the 2010 World Cup final, and I remember watching him and being in awe of his calmness and vision. Had he come to United, he would undoubtedly have been a hit, with Sneijder also possessing a keen eye for goal. There were a couple of summers, too, where the Dutchman was seemingly destined to end up at Old Trafford, but it wasn't to be in the end. Having shown his talent for the likes of Inter Milan and Real Madrid, there is no doubt in my mind that Sneijder could have done great things in Manchester. Joe NelsonSneijder was seemingly linked with United twice a year!PAUL GASCOIGNE Sir Alex Ferguson famously knocked Liverpool off their perch within seven years of his November 1986 appointment at Old Trafford - but our legendary manager might have got there even sooner had he completed the signing of England's mercurial midfielder Paul Gascoigne in the summer of 1988. "Sign this boy, get on the phone to him on Monday," the boss reportedly told Martin Edwards, United's chairman at the time. But Gazza had already had his head turned by Tottenham Hotspur and instead of trading Tyneside for Old Trafford, the creative powerhouse moved from the North East to North London. Our boss still bought well in that period from 1987 to 1990, adding the likes of Steve Bruce, Lee Sharpe, Mark Hughes, Mike Phelan, Neil Webb, Gary Pallister, Paul Ince and Denis Irwin to the Reds' ranks. But the addition of one more British or Irish player, arguably the most naturally gifted of them all, would surely have completed United's title-winning jigsaw well before May 1993. On the flip side, the regret felt at missing out on Gazza was eventually eradicated by the arrival of another brilliant maverick, Eric Cantona, four years later. C'est la vie.
