We could not have Kept History without Canadian Talent Throughout the years, Canada has overcome many fears, faults, victories, battles, hardships and countries. Not only did the world come to know Canada as the great peacemaker, but also through Canadian broadcasting. The CBC and NFB helped preserve the identity of French-Canadians not only in broadcasting works but also in forming the way the culture itself is preserved. French-Canadians play a big part as well. It all started in 1929, the Royal Commission on Broadcasting (the Aird Commission) was known to ensure that Canada's cultural identity is reflected in the radio programming available to Canadians.
The development of the stationary steam engine was an essential early element of the Industrial Revolution; however, for most of the period of the Industrial Revolution, the majority of industries still relied on wind and water power as well as horse- and man-power for driving small machines. The first real attempt at industrial use of steam power was due to Thomas Savery in 1698. He constructed and patented in London a low-lift combined vacuum and pressure water pump, that generated about one horsepower (hp) and was used in numerous water works and tried in a few mines (hence its "brand name", The Miner's Friend), but it was not a success since it was limited in pumping height and prone to boiler explosions. Newcomen's steam powered atmospheric engine was the first practical engine. Subsequent steam engines were to power the Industrial Revolution The first safe and successful steam power plant was introduced by Thomas Newcomen before 1712.
Due to this, a portion of the population with diabetes became resistant to insulin. Ely Lilly partnered with Genentech, a biotechnology company, to genetically engineer bacteria that could synthesize and secrete human insulin; this was termed “Humulin.” The market’s response was poor, however to the large-scale biotechnology plant, where $700 million was invested. Consumers resisted its high price. Also, Ely Lilly failed to recognize the different flow patterns of diabetic patients, who wanted to control their blood glucose levels carefully. Trajectory of customer need is the path over time of increase in performance improvement in an industrial segment which consumers demand or want.
Market share began declining in 1983 and by 1987 was less than 1% of the market. In 1986 P&G developed a revolutionary new shampoo formula that combined the cleaning properties of a shampoo with those of a conditioner. Following a successful launch in the U.S. it was decided to re-launch this product as a “new-improved” version - Pert Plus, in Canada. Examining internal and external factors affecting the success of the product launch it was shown that the positive factors outweighed the negative. Pert Plus was a breakthrough product and P&G would have first-mover advantage in the largest segment of the hair care market.
Canada is renowned for their peacekeepers and no other country is considered more peaceful. In the 21st Century, we see expressions of the Canadian Identity every day. Elements of the Canadian Identity are liberalized immigration policy, a policy of multiculturalism, a commitment to bilingualism, the Canadian Bill of Rights, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, a commitment to peacekeeping and a commitment to protecting and promoting Canadian culture. Whenever the question of “What does it mean to be Canadian?” arises, you often hear the words multiculturalism, freedom, hockey, democracy and family. Canada is a land where multicultural societies live side by side in harmony with minor irritations here and there.
Expression of Nationalism Nationalism is a feeling that people have of being loyal to and proud of their country often with the belief that it is better and more important than other countries, or a desire by a large group of people (such as people who share the same history, culture, language, etc.) to form a separate and independent nation of their own. Nationalism can be expressed in a variety of ways and at a variety of levels. The Quebecois and the First Nations of Canada express their nationalism through politics, national days (culture), and language. Quebec independence debates are an example of expression of nationalism.
The World’s First Telephone Have you ever wondered how the telephone came to be? Of all inventions, the telephone has made the largest impact in the Industrial Revolution. It led to and impacted so many positive things throughout the world. The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell, made an enormous impact, and was the beginning of something amazing. Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in March 1847.
Martin Cooper is a pioneer and visionary in the wireless communications industry. Forty two years ago he changed the world by making the world’s first cell phone call. He stood on a New York City street on April 3, 1973, with a 10-inch-long, 2.5-pound phone nicknamed “the brick” and called his engineering nemesis at the much bigger Bell Labs. Years later with eleven patents in the field, he is recognized as an innovator in radio spectrum management. Martin "Marty" Cooper was born December 26, 1928, in Chicago, Illinois.
In many countries all over the world more or less similar steam engined automobiles have been constructed in this period. From 1828 on many inventors have been developing electric vehicles with a peak in production and sales in the first decennium of the 20th century.The electric cars had only a low range of travelling distance. This was a big disadvantage in this period of extension of road infrastructure. The electric car lost the battle against the petrol powered car but at the end of the 20th century new developments in electric car techniques have given this type of car new possibilities. Probably the most important change in the history of the automobile was the invention of the four stroke petrol engine by Nikolaus Otto in 1867.
A Society, which is build mainly on a mixture of different cultures, many interesting things may happen. Canada, America and Britain are the best examples. The huge cultural crossover lead to an interesting cultural outcome. With such a variety and freedom we all want to belong to something that we can best identify with. People who live in nations that are based on an extensive history of cultural traditions are more aware where they belong, and what to identify with.
