Ahmadinejad was elected in June, but his opponents said the vote had been rigged and took to the streets in protest. At least 30 people were killed and hundreds were arrested.

Canada produces about 10 per cent of the world’s supply, but because it can cause severe lung problems its use in this country is limited. Instead most of it is shipped to developing countries. In this News in Review story we’ll look at how those sales are helping a dying industry in Canada but sickening and killing workers in countries like India.

    2004 Annual Report ���������������� ������������������ ������������������ ���������������� ����������������� ����������������� ��������� ��������� President’s Message (Robert S. Millar) This has been a very successful year for Canadian Defence & Foreign Affairs Institute. Rarely can an organization in its third year of operation state that its target audiences are hearing its messages. As the leading policy think tank focusing on defence, foreign affairs and security issues, CDFAI is taking advantage of many opportunities. Through its Fellows program and its Advisory Council, CDFAI has the team to produce quality research, run exceptional education projects, and improve its outreach initiatives. This success is due to a great network of individuals and organizations created across the country and internationally. Our list of partners includes many of Canada’s top universities, policy think tanks, both here and abroad, and organizations that are likeminded in educating Canadians about the importance of Canada’s world presence. Because Canada relies on international trade for 40% of its Gross Domestic Product, this country and Canadians must understand the role that a nation such as ours can play in the world. Only by playing our full part can Canadians ensure the free fl ow of goods, services and ideas internationally. As 2004 developed, the Institute’s core activity became more focused on developing authoritative research that is useable, objective and credible for education and outreach purposes. CDFAI is taking full advantage of the internet for communicating with large audiences at home and abroad. (You can visit our website at www.cdfai.org to fi nd out more about the organization and subscribe to our free materials.) Building a successful organization requires the time and personal commitment of many individuals.

  • Unit 5 Space Exploration
    TOPIC 8 People in Space There are many reasons why all types of technology are developed. In Unit 5, you’ve seen that some technology is developed out of curiosity. Galileo built his telescope because he was curious about the stars and planets. You’ve also learned that some technologies are built to help countries fight an enemy in war. The German V-2 rocket is one example of this. You may have learned in social stud- ies class about the cold war between the United States and the for- mer Soviet Union. There was no fighting with guns or bombs. However, these countries deeply mistrusted each other and became very competitive. They tried to outdo and intimidate each other. This competition thrust these countries into a space race, which was a race to be the first to put satellites and humans into space. Figure 5.57 Space shuttle Atlantis Topic 8 looks at how the desire to go into space drove people to blasts off in 1997 on its way to dock produce technologies that could make space travel a reality. with the Soviet space station Mir. Breaking Free of Earth’s Gravity Although space is only a hundred or so kilometres “up there,” it takes a huge amount of energy to go up and stay up there. The problem is gravity. Imagine throwing a ball as high as you can. Now imagine how hard it would be to throw the ball twice as high or to throw a ball twice as heavy. Gravity always pulls the ball back to Earth.

Rather, they hold senior positions in the executive branch and the judiciary, where they continue to enjoy impunity. These officials control a vast infrastructure of repression that permeates the lives of Iranian citizens. …Defiance of these norms often comes at a terrible cost, with Iranians frequently facing unjust detention, torture, and even death.”1 Table of Contents 1.
