Liberation Day is celebrated each year on May 5 in the Netherlands to mark the end of the German occupation during the Second World War. The nation was liberated largely by Canadian troops. On May 5, 1945, the Canadian General Charles Foulkes and the German Commander-in-Chief Johannes Blaskowitz reached an oral agreement on the capitulation of Germany in Hotel De Wereld in Wageningen. One day later, the capitulation document was signed in the auditorium of the Agricultural University located next to the hotel. After the liberation in 1945 the decision was made that Liberation Day was going to be celebrated every 5 years. Only in 1990, the day was declared a national holiday, on which the liberation would be commemorated and celebrated annually.

Beginning in 1992 and culminating in 2004, the Rotman Canadian Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Awards paid tribute to Canada's most successful female entrepreneurs for their important contributions to the economy. The program was an initiative of the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management and BMO Financial Group. The purpose of these Awards was to provide national recognition to Canada's women entrepreneurs, whose successful businesses and achievements contribute so much to the Canadian and global economies as well as to their communities. By honouring these entrepreneurs, we helped to advance their business and personal networks; provide significant profile and visibility for them and their businesses; create additional opportunities to actively participate on for-profit and non-profit boards, government committees and/or industry associations; and increase the number of role models and mentors for all entrepreneurs, both male and female.

Ces Prix avaient pour but de reconnaître à l'échelle nationale les entrepreneures canadiennes qui, grâce à leur réussite et à celle de leurs entreprises, ont contribué si grandement aux économies canadienne et mondiale ainsi qu'à leurs communautés. En honorant ces entrepreneures, nous avons favorisé l'essor de leur entreprise et l'expansion de leurs réseaux personnels; accru de façon significative leur profil et leur visibilité ainsi que ceux de leur entreprise; créé des occasions additionnelles de participer activement à des conseils d'organismes lucratifs et sans but lucratif ainsi qu'à des comités gouvernementaux ou associations industrielles; et augmenté le nombre de modèles exemplaires et de mentors accessibles à tous les entrepreneurs, hommes et femmes.

Unlike drugs, to which HIV can develop resistance by genetically reshaping its component parts, the engineered (smart bomb) virus attacks a feature that HIV probably cannot alter without rendering itself harmless. In laboratory experiments, it reduced HIV to undetectable levels, raising the possibility of an entirely new kind of therapy for treating AIDS and maybe other viral diseases.

OBS

The virus doesn’t seem to infect any cells other than those infected with HIV. The method consists of reprogramming a virus, changing its natural target so that it kills another virus. However, the therapy based on injection of live viruses is unlikely to be approved easily.

CONT

The HIV-hunting virus has been designed by Dr. John Rose and his colleagues at Yale University School of Medicine this year. They worked with a well-understood virus that infects cattle, known as VSV, or vesicular stomatitis virus and stripped out the gene that makes its protein coat. In its place, they inserted human genes for the two proteins that constitutes the T-cell lack. This created a novel virus, coated with T-cell lock proteins avid to find HIV keys, a sort of HIV in reverse. When added to culture of infected human T-cells, the redesigned viruses sought out and killed them.

The United Nations University(UNU) project on "Natural Disaster Risk Management" places natural disaster management within the context of sustainable development. During the year, work was carried out to finalize a theoretical framework for the analysis of social vulnerability and its inclusion into disaster management planning. This novel concept was tested in a pilot phase and presented to scientific audiences in workshops organized in China, Fiji and Germany. In the next phase, the project will begin applying the framework in several case studies. This work is intended to make an important contribution to the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction(IDNDR).
