Dear Gabriel:

(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I below).

(2) As you see in the References (a), (b) and (c) above, we will conduct ÒGlobal Lecture Hall (GLH)ÓTM multipoint-to-multipoint, multimedia, interactive videoconferencing during our conference at the Stevens Institute of Technology in the morning of April 18th.

Victor and Rob are now finalizing its press release — see its DRAFT #1 in ATTACHMENT II below.

(3) Colleagues of our Global Early Warning System (GEWS) project for the selected Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) in the west coast of African continent will participate in this videoconferencing — see the last page of the Reference (d) above.

(4) According to Michael, in addition to those colleagues, students and general public (who can access Internet) can participate in this videoconferencing through its webinar web site, i.e., they can view the conference room (including the images of those ECOWAS colleagues) in the auditorium of the Stevens Institute of Technology.

(5) Hence, our immediate and urgent need of the help from the student group of your GlobalGiving would be as follows;

(a) As soon as I receive the final version of the press release from Victor and Rob, I will upload it here in this list.

I would then greatly appreciate it if your student group can disseminate it as widely as possible to publicize the availability of tremendous capabilities of ultra high speed broadband Internet of GLORIAS (of Greg Cole at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville (UTK)) via the ÒAfrica Coast to Europe (ACE)Ó of Baharicom Development Company (of Victor et al at the Stevens Institute of Technology).

(b) I will also upload the URL of the webinar.

I would then greatly appreciate if your student group can join in the GLH since they can hear/view the conference so that they can raise questions to the speakers — they have to send their request to Michael who would administer the questions.


(6) We plan a subsequent workshop with a demonstration of GEWS on the verification of energy propositions made by President Obama and former Vice President Al Gore at the SIPA of Columbia University — hopefully in this coming fall (Reference (e) above).

We would then greatly appreciate it if we could have the help of your student group on the system analysis of socio-economic-energy-environment systems and data gathering of various ECOWAS countries — see the last page of the Reference (f) above, as constructing global simulation model with distributed mode in a virtual global supercomputer.  This will certainly change the world with youngstersÕ fresh creative brainpower!!  On the other hand, as helping our GEWS, they would learn many — e.g., system analysis, simulation methodologies, conflict resolution, negotiation techniques, inter-culture and multimedia literacy, etc., to name but a few -- in a sense, hands-on learning.

(7) We plan to create GEWS and GUS in many African and other countries.  We will then need many, many help from youngsters around the world.

Pls feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

Best, Tak

Tak,

How can a student plot their education to be able to support the GEWS project? How can an everyday individual support the project in the meantime?

New York, ??Date??, 2013:  On April 18, 2013, an international alliance of eminent scientists will detail new achievements of broadband Internet that will provide basic human services to millions in African countries.
 
The meeting will begin with a public presentation and a ÒGlobal Lecture Hall (GLH)ÓTM videoconference through Internet with participants from some of the ECOWAS (Economic Community Of West African States) countries.  Location is the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, beginning at 0900 EST. Among those participating will be Dr. Jerry Hultin, former President of Polytechnic Institute of New York University, Dr. Thomas Mensah, initiator of broadband Internet, Dr. Victor Lawrence, Chairman, Baharicom Development Company, Dr. Greg Cole, Principal Investigator of the Global Ring Network for Advanced Applications Development (GLORIAD), Dr. Hans Herren, President of the Millennium Institute, Prof. Tapio Varis, Acting President of Global University System (GUS) and Dr. Takeshi Utsumi, Founder, the Global Early Warning System (GEWS).
 
The breakthroughs are a vast expansion of communications capability among institutions such as schools, health care delivery, and other providers of basic services globally. The focus is one of the most volatile of current regions, West Africa.
 
For the first time, researchers in this region and Europe will be able to pursue answers to some of the most difficult issues of our day, including some of the most basic matters of human wellbeing, using the fastest and most sophisticated available technology.  
 
Crucial to this have been the new communications infrastructures of GLORIAD and  
BaharicomÕs new ultra-high speed ÒAfrica Coast to Europe (ACE)Ó submarine cable with USD $700 million from the European Union. GLORIAD is funded by the National Science Foundation and various governments, such as Russia, China, Korea, and India, etc, -- total so far about USD $280 million.
 
The GEWS is collaborating with GLORIAD and ACE in building innovative methods of resolving conflict, providing a foundation for economic and social progress, and training future leaders and decision-makers, as unleashing and energizing abundantly available brainpower in African continent for globally collaborative creativity.
