Dear Alex:
==========

(1)  Pls visit the English version of ANNEX-II (Draft #3) in "Community
     Development with E-Learning and E-Healthcare in Amazon, Brazil" --
     Grant application to the InfoDev of the World Bank at

          http://www.friends-
partners.org/GLOSAS/Manaus%20Workshop/InfoDev_Application/infoDev_Proposa_%20v_4.html

     This is your project "Amazonian Core of Technologies for Distance
     Education and Healthcare, based at the University of Amazon," which
     goes along with your CampusNet of establishing Multimedia Resource
     Centers (MRC) at the main campuses of 6 Federal Public Universities
     and at their branch campuses in the localities of their states in
     Amazon areas -- see my previous list distribution about it
     "(10/07/01)(1)CampusNet and Community Development Network in Amazon,
     (2) GUS/UNESCO/UNITWIN Networking Program" at;

          http://www.friends-partners.org/pipermail/gu-l/2001q4/000060.html

     Pls make your final check of the English version (Draft #3) -- pls
     also note Roberto's msg in ATTACHMENT I below and let me know your
     comments about them.

          Dear Roberto:
          =============

          Many, many thanks for your kind effort of translating its
          Portuguese version into English.  I am very happy to know that
          you made a very good use of the machine translated version (by
          http://world.altavista.com/tr) which I sent to you before.  Your
          format in Draft #2 is very convenient, but my Draft #3 reverted
          it to original format since it will be printed into hard copy
          for our InfoDev grant application.

          Dear Steve:
          ===========

          Many, many thanks for your kind effort of refining the English
          version made by Roberto.

(2)  I will next work on the revision of the main text of our application
     to the InfoDev -- you have sent me your comments by your msg of
     10/17/01.

Dear Prof. Yamasawa:
====================

(3)  I strongly suggest that you read this ANNEX-II, particularly its
     Section 4.  I hope this will be a good reference for your vision
     setting of your new Shinshu University.

(4)  I am looking forward to receiving the outline of your workshop in the
     fall of next year soon.
          

Best, Tak

          Excerpt from Roberto's msg of 10/16/01

(1)  Roberto's msg:
     ==============

     At page 12, line 237, it was difficult to translate, the original
     document was not clear to me, about the influence of a speech on over
     an initiative's success.

          Original:
          =========

          A iniciativa inovadora da UnB n o logrou sucesso, principalmente
          quanto a inadequaç o do discurso de sua direç o que apresentava
          a educaç o a distância como substituto do ensino presencial e um
          meio de resolver os conflitos políticos existentes à época.

          Roberto's Draft #2:
          ===================

          The innovative initiative of UnB did not attain success mainly
          owing to inadequate guidance on its direction that presented
          distance education as a substitute for in-person education and a
          way to solve political conflicts of the time.

          Draft #3:
          =========

          The innovative initiative of the UnB did not attain success
          mainly due to inadequate guidance on its direction that
          presented distance education as a substitute for in-person
          education and a way to solve political conflicts of the time.

(2)  Roberto's msg:
     ==============

     At page 16, line 310, on the 5th, 6th and 7th grades on Public
     Schools, careful, attention, in Portuguese the word "rede" is used
     just to mean a traditional management, not an online network. The same
     was observed in other sections.

          Original:
          =========

          c) PROJETO TV ESCOLAR - funcionou no Estado entre 1972 a 1978 em
          canal aberto, destinado a alunos de 5ª, 6ª e 7ª séries do ensino
          fundamental da rede pública.

          Draft #2:
          =========

          c) School TV Project functioned in the State between 1972 and
          1978 in open channel, aimed for 5th, 6th and 7th grade pupils of
          public basic schools. 

          Draft #3:
          =========

          c) School TV Project: functioned in the State between 1972 and
          1978 in open channel, aimed for 5th, 6th and 7th grades of
          public elementary schools.

(3)  Roberto's msg:
     ==============

     At page 40, line 782 please note the word " banco" in Portuguese was
     translated by the machine as "banks". In portuguese the same word is
     used also for bench, so I decided better fit with the word desk.

          Original:
          =========

          Há uma ampliaç o quantitativa do contingente de candidatos ao
          ensino universitário, tanto pelo aumento das taxas dos que
          chegam à faixa etária, tradicionalmente, demandante, quanto pelo
          retorno aos bancos escolares de outro contingente em busca de
          requalificaç o para um mercado de trabalho em completa
          transformaç o;

          Draft #2:
          =========

          The cohort of university education candidates is expanding
          quantitatively, due as much to the increasing of the number of
          traditionally demanding people arriving at college age as due to
          the return of another contingent to scholarly desks searching
          for requalification for a work market in full transformation.

          Draft #3:
          =========

          quantitatively, due as much to the increase of the number of

          for requalification for a work market in full transformation.

(4)  Roberto's msg of 10/29/01:
     ==========================

     I suppose the original text is meaning schools along the Amazonas River,
     but this may be better confirmed by Alex.

          Original:
          =========

          c) PROGRAMA TELECURSO 2000   1° Grau - funciona em 5 escolas da
          zona ribeirinha desde 1997.

          Draft #2:
          =========

          c) Telecourse 200 Program: basic education which functions in 5
          peripheral schools since 1997. 

          Draft #3:
          =========

          c) Telecourse 2000 Program: basic education which functions in 5
          schools along the Amazonas River since 1997.
