A cultural coalition made up of several Canadian media industry groups &mdash; including the Canadian Media Production Association (CMPA), the Writers Guild of Canada (WGC) and others &mdash; argued ISPs should be required to help pay for the production of made-in-Canada music, films and television.

Each battery is made with manganese oxide nanorod electrodes, which absorb sodium when an electrical current passes through them.

The Bible is a large, complicated text containing three quarters of a million words and the typesetting is quite complex because of the wide range of literature types found in scripture and the need for several types of note. 'For all the issues that are still to be solved, ETEN is trying to do things that the world's biggest tech companies haven't cracked yet, such as rendering minority languages correctly on mobile devices,' says Mark Howe. 'There's a unity among Bible translators and publishers that stands in stark contrast to the fractured, fratricidal smartphone industry.'

The project has 17 pilot sites in sub-Saharan Africa to-date, providing prepaid energy services to over 3000 people who did not have access to electricity &mdash; a fraction of the over 1.3 Billion worldwide. The lab has been developing custom software applications to integrate off-the-shelf hardware components, and also provide the operational and management mechanisms needed. Communications with the sites are over the mobile networks.
