Note:
(1) Copy this URL without breaking and copy into the address line of your browser.
(2) You have to have the latest JAVA before downloading this recording file.
(3) If you are using TEXTWRANGLER, remove it from your laptop, since it impedes the opening of the downloaded recorded file for your viewing with the Blackboard Collaborator.

Dear Edwin:

(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I below) in response to the Reference (a) above.

(2) I am very delighted that you noticed my words at the end of the Reference (a) above;

“This April 18th event was the initiation of constructing the Electronic United Nations!! -- Hence, Let’s work together!!”

As I said during my presentation, our approach is autonomous democratic compared with autocratic totalitarian approach which often ignores the National Boundaries, the very basic social infrastructure, in most of aggregating simulation models, as violating the very basic iron rule of simulation — i.e., “Make simulation as much close to SIMULAND as possible” -- here the SIMULAND is the target of the simulation.

The main purpose of our GEWS/GUS is to promote rational scientific approach for decision-making with critical thinking for the capacity building of bureaucrats and young aspiring future leaders.

(3) Pls visit Reference (a) above to retrieve appropriate info of our GLH/ECOWAS videoconferencing event at the Stevens Institute of Technology on April 18th.

Pls also make sure to retrieve the file which recorded the entire session in the Reference (b) above.

If you have a second computer screen, you may display the presentation slides of Tapio, Victor, Hans and mine (*) while you watch their presentation in the recorded file on your first screen — by this way, you can read small letters appeared in the Blackboard Collaborator webcam on the latter screen.

(*) You can download those slides in the References I sited in the Reference (a) above.

Dear Paco:

(4) Many thanks for your succinct minutes of our session (Reference (c) above).

Dear ECOWAS colleagues in Benin, Nigeria and Sierra Leon:

(5) Sorry we could not have you during our 4/18th event.

Pls come in our next rehearsal, which I will inform to you soon. I would like to do this prior to our workshop at the GLORIAD office at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville (UTK) with the NSF fund.

Keep in touch.

Best, Tak

Thanks a million Tak for your total commitment and outstanding leadership prowess.
They made the ECOWAS focused Video-conferencing an unequivocal success on April 18, 2013.

I am looking forward to viewing the Blackboard Collaborate recording of the event.

You got it right there, this could be ' The initiation of constructing the Electronic United Nations'

Sure, you can count on all of us to work together and sustain this momentum, is just great to see history in the making !

Paradoxically however, the Health care and the Community development officers at the ECOWAS headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria who I spent days prompting to participate in the event did not in. They also did not follow-up to explain what problems they may have had if any at-all, in accessing the 'Blackboard'

Victor, Mike, Youcef and other team-players at the Stevens Institute, you did a marvelous job.
The Blackboard collaboration approach was unique and first time ever in Africa.

I have also not seen it used here in Germany either.
More grease to your elbows.

Guess the flowers have started sprouting over-there as we have right now in Germany.
Enjoy the fresh fragrance of Spring.

Best, Edwin
