Amicus (Trade Union)

In 2006 Amicus and T&G union members voted to merge to create Unite, one of Britain and Ireland's newest and biggest trade union with around two million members.
==Pro-nuclear activities==
In March 2006 Amicus union members working in nuclear power stations converged on the UK parliament to tell MPs that Britain needed a new generation of nuclear power stations. According to their press release:
 
:Organised by the Nuclear Workers' Campaign (NWC), the lobby of Parliament is timed to convince MPs, the Prime Minister and his Cabinet that nuclear power is the right answer as part of a secure and balanced energy policy. Nuclear workers lobby parliament, Unite website 29 March 2006, acc 31 October 2013 
 
The Times newspaper reported that "Amicus, Britain's biggest private sector union, is backing the use of nuclear power, pressing the Government to speed up its energy review and support new nuclear plants urgently. The union says that nuclear power is essential to combat soaring energy costs, in part caused by deregulation, which are threatening thousands of jobs because parts of industry are cutting back production."

AminoSweet

AminoSweet is a new name (as of November 2009) for the artificial sweetener aspartame. The aspartame producer Ajinomoto rebranded its product in November 2009.Shaun Weston, Ajinomoto brands aspartame ‘AminoSweet’, FoodBev.com, 17 Nov 2009, accessed 24 Mar 2010 A story reporting the rebranding in FoodBev.com says, "The name AminoSweet is appealing and memorable. It reflects that AminoSweet comes from the same amino acids that are abundant in the food we eat every day." The name change might be seen by critics as an attempt to give aspartame/AminoSweet a natural gloss and to distance it from the many scientific controversies that have grown up around its use.Ralph G. Walton, M.D., SURVEY OF ASPARTAME STUDIES: CORRELATION OF OUTCOME AND FUNDING SOURCES, dorway.com, accessed 24 Mar 2010

Amir Abbas Fakhravar

From HJS Event profile:
Amir Abbas Fakhravar is an Iranian student dissident, founder of the Confederation of Iranian Students and President of the Iranian Enterprise Institute. Arrested for his writings and criticism of the Islamic Republic aged 17, Amir Fakhravar spent over five years in jail suffering from brutal torture. With the help of American friends and Iranian dissidents, he moved to the United States in May 2006 where he has since met with President Bush, senior administrators in the State Department and The Pentagon as well as other prominent analysts, policy makers and experts on Iran to discuss the current situation of young Iranians, jailed journalists and political prisoners. Amir Fakhravar is the author of three books and an honorary member of English PEN and International PEN. 'HJS Event: Iranian Options - How to Confront the Clerical Regime', HJS website, 28 October 2008. (Accessed 8 April, 2009) 
==Adelson view==
Sheldon Adelson is reported to have expressed the desire to support Fakhravar. Connie Bruck writes:
:After Emerson’s presentation, Pooya Dayanim, a Jewish-Iranian democracy activist based in Los Angeles, chatted with Adelson. Recalling their conversation, Dayanim observed that Adelson was dismissive of Reza Pahlevi, the son of the former Shah, who had participated in the Prague conference, because, Adelson said, “he doesn’t want to attack Iran.” According to Dayanim, Adelson referred to another Iranian dissident at the conference, Amir Abbas Fakhravar, whom he said he would like to support, saying, “I like Fakhravar because he says that, if we attack, the Iranian people will be ecstatic.” Dayanim said that when he disputed that assumption Adelson responded, "I really don't care what happens to Iran. I am for Israel."Connie Bruck, The Brass Ring: A multibillionaire’s relentless quest for global influence, The New Yorker, 30 June, 2008.
