48 year-old Reza Eshghabadi and his 40 year-old wife Ashraf Nabiloo were guilty of importing opium from the Middle East. The couple used photo frames to hide 1.5 kilograms of opium. Police and customs officials caught Eshghabdi and his wife Nabiloo in November 2003 at Vancouver International Airport, while the couple were waiting for two shipments of opium. Eshghabadi and Nabiloo are opium addicts. The police found two sets of digital scales and many drug related devices in the couples apartment in North Vancouver. However, this pair of opium addicts said the scales are used for weighting their lovebirds. The couple were found guilty in their second trial. I don’t see the purpose of holding extra trials. Governments should make drug dealers suffer from long sentences and increase their penalties. This is the only way to reduce drug smuggling.

Although using your dog to ease your daily life may seem cruel, it is in fact the exact opposite that can cause harm to your canine friend.

Of course! It’s great that you’re getting some exercise. Your little pooch, however, needs some independence so that it can adjust to the real world.

Shielding your little friend from its canine culture may lead to developmental problems. This may result in nervous behavior or even cause illnesses leading to an early death.

Regardless of how small your dog is, be sure not to treat it like a baby. Give it the opportunity to live its life to the fullest.

A selection of treasures, the world’s cultures from the British Museum are making their North American debute this summer at Victoria’s Royal BC Museum.

Rosetta stone is a dark gray-pinkish granite stone with writing on it in two languages, Egyptian and Greek, using three scripts, Hieroglyphic, Demotic Egyptian and Greek. British physicist Thomas Young showed that both the demotic and hieroglyphic writing contains both alphabetic and symbolic elements which were closely related. This fact that the stone contains the same passage written in three different languages allowed it to be an ancient Code Book.
Darya-ye Noor “Ocean of light” is one of the largest diamonds in the world weighing about 182 carats. It’s color, pale pink is one of the rarest colors in diamonds. In 1965 a Canadian team concluded that the Darya-ye Noor may had been part of a large pink diamond that have been cut into two pieces; the larger part is Darya-ye Noor, the smaller part is believed to be 60 carats presently studded in a tiara. Both parts presently forms part of the Iranian Crown Jewels.
Tutankhamen came to the throne at age nine and ruled until his death at about age 18. During his reign he brought peace to his kingdom, by restoring worship of the Egyptian deity Amon. He was not an important king, but is so well known because of the treasures of his tomb, which was found virtually intact. Many other tombs fell to the grave rob robbers.
