 BCE to convert to trust   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
BCE Inc., one of Canada's largest companies, is fading into history, driven to a trust conversion by a looming tax burden, possible policy changes in Ottawa and the prospect, observers said, of a takeover by rival phone company Telus Corp., which unveiled an income trust conversion plan a month ago.
BCE was facing a "substantial increase" in taxes in 2008 because tax shelters will be fully used in the first half of next year.
The timing of the trust conversion was driven, in part, by the risk of a change in the federal government's policy on income trusts that has led to a flow of conversions to the tax-efficient structure, Mr.

The Yuezhi were visited by a Chinese mission, led by Zhang Qian in 126 BCE, that was seeking an offensive alliance with the Yuezhi to counter the Xiongnu threat to the north.
Some time after 126 BCE the Yuezhi, possibly disturbed by further incursions of rivals from the north, moved south to Bactria, that had been conquered by the Greeks under Alexander the Great in 330 BCE, and since settled by the Greek dynasties of the Seleucids and the Greco-Bactrians for two centuries.
As they settled in Bactria from around 125 BCE, the Yuezhi became Hellenized to some degree, as suggested by their adoption of the Greek alphabet and by some remaining coins, minted in the style of the Greco-Bactrian kings, with the text in Greek.

Cornelia's husband, Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus died in 154-153 BCE, leaving her to raise her daughter and two sons on her own, with Tiberius being around the age of nine and Gaius being an infant.
She was a major factor in fashioning his subsequent image as a martyr for the popular cause, which was gaining momentum in Rome, largely because of Tiberius' land reform progam.
