RE: English Service on Al-Jazeera News (When Mullah Nasreddine and Millions Like Him No Longer Trust The Western Media) (fwd)

If you can please send email to Al-Jazeera at marketing-europe(a)aljazeera.net and show them you are interested in an english service. I've attached the correspondence I've had with them today. regards joe http://www.dot-god.com/ The dot.GOD Registry, Limited ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2001 12:02:25 -0500 (EST) From: !Dr. Joe Baptista <baptista(a)pccf.net> To: Marketing Europe <marketing-europe(a)aljazeera.net> Subject: RE: English Service on Al-Jazeera News (When Mullah Nasreddine and Millions Like Him No Longer Trust The Western Media) I would suggest that Al Jazeera's Management consider is a live english translation service carried over the internet. You simply broadcast you video through an existing software product like read video while providing simultaneous translation in english. I think that would be more cost effective and will reach more people then an english service on an additional satelite transponder. Many Americans and other westerners are searching for answers and were not getting much attention from our local broadcasters. All we end up getting is propaganda and not much else. In closing thank you for the consideration you have given my request. regards joe baptista On Tue, 30 Oct 2001, Marketing Europe wrote: > Dear Mr Baptista, > > Thank you for your kind email and for your interest in Al Jazeera Channel. > > We have forwarded your request for an English service to Al Jazeera's > Management. > > Al Jazeera is aware of the need for an English service.

<nettime> New Scientist: Microwave Crowd Dispersal Tested (ADT)
by Soenke Zehle 30 Oct '01

30 Oct '01

http://www.newscientist.com/hottopics/tech/heatison.jsp New Scientist.com The World's No.1 Science & Technology News Service Microwave beam weapon to disperse crowds 19:00 24 October 01 Jeff Hecht, Boston Tests of a controversial weapon that is designed to heat people's skin with a microwave beam have shown that it can disperse crowds. But critics are not convinced the system is safe. Last week, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) in New Mexico finished testing the system on human volunteers. The Air Force now wants to use this Active Denial Technology (ADT), which it says is non-lethal, for peacekeeping or riot control at "relatively long range" - possibly from low-flying aircraft. ADT uses a 2-metre dish to create a narrow beam of microwaves that can be scanned across a crowd or even aimed at individuals. AFRL is using infrared photography to analyse the heating effect on the volunteers' bodies. AFRL says that the 3-millimetre wavelength radiation penetrates only 0.3 millimetres into the skin, rapidly heating the surface above the 45 °C pain threshold. At 50 °C, they say the pain reflex makes people pull away automatically in less than a second - it's said to feel like fleetingly touching a hot light bulb. Someone would have to stay in the beam for 250 seconds before it burnt the skin, the lab says, giving "ample margin between intolerable pain and causing a burn". Little data But critics question the AFRL's claims that the weapon's undisclosed exposure levels are safe. John Pike of think tank Globalsecurity.org fears that the beam power needed to scare people may be too close to the level that would injure them. Air Force scientists helped set the present skin safety threshold of 10 milliwatts per square centimetre in the early 1990s, when little data was available, says Louis Slesin, editor of Microwave News. That limit covers exposure to steady fields for several minutes to an hour - but heating a layer of skin 0.3 mm thick to 50 °C in just one second requires much higher power and may pose risks to the cornea, which is more sensitive than skin. A study published last year in the journal Health Physics showed that exposure to 2 watts per square centimetre for three seconds could damage the corneas of rhesus monkeys. 19:00 24 October 01 # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo(a)bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime(a)bbs.thing.net

measley, -I- am an idiot? Wow, that sorta hurts. I am an idiot because I believe to a great degree that the USA in danger.... thats nice. Thanks for making me feel at home. Cant effectively rebut my statement, so you insult me, and not even creatively! which causes more hurt feelings. I really do feel hurt, its weird. Maybe its because I am normally sleeping right now and I feel out of it, or perhaps I am excited that my beloved Knicks are going to break Jordans ass open tonight... right there at MSG. Perhaps I am extra touchy because I havent been laid since saturday, and thats what I consider a dry spell. Well, you are an insensitive, uncreative jerk. fascism- A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. b. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government. Oppressive, dictatorial control. Where do you see my advocation of any of these? You simply dont and wont ever. Does a fascist state encompass all of those listed traits? Or just one, or shades of one and none of the other, or perhaps bits of all? Define your terms before you use them, not knowing what they are. I am all for guns, but shit, dont wave one around if you dont know how to use it, it may go off in your face. If you wave around your proud lexicon like that, I am amazed that you still have a face and that someone hasnt shot it off for you. gatton

VCL gives the customer the power to conduct automated conference calls, on their own, for small groups or with the assistance of an operator for larger groups. A key component of VCL's business model is the ability to offer clients a cost effective, yet scalable means of communications that can be customized to meet individual customer needs. On demand or scheduled conference calls allow the moderators control to conduct their own conference calls in a convenient, quick and cost effective manner. With firmly established relationships within the industry and extensive knowledge of teleconferencing technology, VCL is aiming to capture a substantial share of revenues generated within the billion dollar teleconferencing industry. ======================================= UNIVERSAL DOMAIN (OTC BB:UDCCF.OB) Monday's Closing Price $0.20 per share 52-week Range $0.080 - $0.760 For further information, please contact: Investor relations 800-889-6005 or 604-646 1075 mailto:ir@viacall.com ======================================= VCL's customer base will have access to undisrupted services twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. VCL's advantage in this industry is management's years of experience in providing telecommunications services along with very competitive rates to end users. VCL has state of the art technology and relationships with key providers that will allow VCL to be a leader within the teleconferencing industry. VCL's products and services can be viewed at www.viacall.com. The voice conference call market has posted unparalleled growth over the past three years with annual growth averaging 30 to 40%. This $2 billion dollar market is estimated to become a $17 billion dollar industry within the next 2 years. This growth is due, in large part, to the globalization of businesses around the world and uneasiness within the travel industry due to recent events. Growth is also taking place because of the implementation of the Regulation Fair Disclosure Act in the United States that requires all public reporting companies to make earnings and analyst conference calls, corporate media announcements and other information available simultaneously to all investors. Similar changes in regulatory policies in England, Canada and Japan are imminent. +>+>+> SUMMARY... There is still an opportunity to invest within the teleconferencing industry. With the recent acquisition of VCL Communications Corp., http://www.viacall.com (OTCBB: UDCCF), investors can participate in this rapidly growing market. >>===================================>> DISCLAIMER Wallstreet Universe is an independent electronic publication providing information on selected companies.
