  Subject: ask for your comments, photos of world war 2

  Greetings
  We, Professors and students of Toyama University (Japan) are advancing a project, named DJ50, with people in German universities. In the DJ50,we compare Japan with Germany of the last 50 years,and then we put products from our study on our homepage.

  We are collecting your opinions generally for the renewal. Things we expect you to send are comments,photos and illustrations abount the World War 2 and a postwar period.When you send photos and illustrations,please be sure to attention to copyright and then submit yours with allowance of a copyright folder.
  The deadline is as follows; August 12th (Japan Standard Time).
  The War was over in Japan on the the very day.We will do it to the memory of the incident and in order to remember tragedies of the war.A good opportunity everyone has is that we will be able to be more conscious of those wars on the day.
  Opinions of the third party are useful,espacially in a sense of gaining objective insight.In addition,the opinions can prevent us from concluding with bias.

• Electronic Emissary Project (University of Texas)
  "There are now more than 35 million people worldwide with access to global electronic mail. Many of these millions are subject matter specialists whose knowledge encompasses a wide spectrum of expertise. What if connections could be made so that volunteers from among this group could communicate directly with students and teachers who are studying about the experts' specialties? Students and teachers of the Information Age need to be able to make connections outside the geographic and temporal bounds of their communities. Their mentors should include subject matter and pedagogical experts from both down the hall and around the globe."

• The annual CHI conference is the leading forum for the exchange of ideas on all aspects of human-computer interaction. CHI 96 invites you to submit work to share with the CHI community. This year's theme is Common Ground and CHI 96 seeks the active participation of everyone interested in human computer interaction. CHI is one of the most diverse communities we can think of anywhere, with contributors from many disciplines, institutional settings, geographical locations and intellectual perspectives. Where else can you meet graphic designers, writers, computer scientists, anthropologists, teachers, industrial designers, software engineers, lawyers, psychologists and many others, from every continent except Antartica, all under one roof? At this year's conference we stress communication across groups, for the purposes of learning from one another, influencing one another, and collaborating with one another."
