| ARTICLES RELATED TO world economy | | | |  world economy: Encyclopedia II - U.S.-Iran relations - The 1979 revolutionIn 1979 Iranians revolted and the Shah was ousted for a second time. Ayatollah Khomeni became Iran's new leader, and soon began issuing vicious rhetoric against the United States, describing the country as the "Great Satan" and a "nation of infidels."
The American administration under President Jimmy Carter refused to give the Shah any further support and expressed no interest in attempting to return him to power. A significant embarrassment for Carter occurred when the Shah, now suffering from cancer, requested entry into the United States for treatment. Carter reluctantly agreed, but the move only re-inforced Iran ...

| | | | | world economy: Encyclopedia II - New York City - Media and the arts Because of its sheer size and cultural influence, New York City has been the subject of many different, and often contradictory, portrayals in mass media. From the sophisticated and worldly metropolis seen in many Woody Allen films, to the chaotic urban jungle depicted in such movies as Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, New York has served as the unwitting backdrop for virtually every conceivable viewpoint on big city life. New York’s portrayal on television is similarly varied, with a disproportionate number ...

A "Subway Series" between city teams is a time of great excitement, and any World Series championship by either the New York Yankees or the New York Mets is considered to be worthy of the highest celebration, including a ticker-tape parade for the victorious team.

Traditionally an agricultural society, by the 1970s, Iran had achieved significant industrialization and economic modernization. However, the pace of growth had slowed dramatically by 1978, just before the Islamic revolution.
Since the revolution, growth has been rather slow. Iran's current difficulties can be traced to a combination of factors. Economic activity, severely disrupted by the revolution, was further depressed by the war with Iraq and by the decline of oil prices be ...

In other people, aluminium is not considered as toxic a ...

Although the right to private ownership is guaranteed in Iran, banks and some industries -- including the petroleum, transportation, utilities, and mining sectors -- were nationalized after the revolution. However, Iran has recently been pursuing some privatization. (Oil price and debt problems are no longer relevant.) The import-dependent industrial sector is further plagued by low labour productivity, lack of foreign exchang ...

Aluminium - Etymology/Nomenclature history.
In 1808, Humphry Davy originally proposed the name alumium while trying to isolate the new metal electrolytically from the mineral alumina. In 1812 he changed the name to aluminum to match its Latin root. The same year, an anonymous contributor to the Quarterly Review objected to aluminum, and proposed the name aluminium.
Aluminium, for so we shall take the liberty of writing the word, in preference to aluminum, which has a less class ...

So, too, have movements to free large or distinct groups of slaves.

Though modern archeology throws doubt on the claims of such a mass exodus. However, abolitionism should be distinguished ...

Aluminium isotopes have found practical application in dating marine sediments, manganese nodules, glacial ice, quartz in rock exposures, and meteorites. The ratio of 2 ...

From 1950 until 1978, the United States was Iran's foremost economic and military partner; thus participating greatly in the modernization of its infrastructure and industry.

In 1996, the US Government passed the "Iran and Libya Sanctions Act" which prohibits US companies from investing and trading with Iran ...

Historically, slaves were often those humans of a different ethnicity, nationality, religion, sex or race than the dominant or aspirationally dominant group; typically taken prisoner as a result of warfare, capture meant death or slavery if one paid no ransom. Societies characterized by poverty, population pressures, and cultural and technological lag are frequently exporters of slaves to more developed nations. Today most slaves are rural people forced to move to cities, or those purchased in rural areas and sold into slavery in cities. These moves take place due to loss of subsistenc ...
