Supercourse Newsletter, September 20, 2002
------------------------------------------
Friends,
Closing in:
It is wonderful, we will be most appreciative of a Halloween treat.
Of course, the treat is a lecture that we will cherish, and give to
the world, from you. Think about the lecture you are teaching this
week. How many students will be listening to it? Think about if it
were in the Supercourse, how many students would see it each
year&about 20,000. We are getting close. Eugene counted 882. All we
need is 118 more in 42 days. We can do it! It is not quite as piz-
zazzi to send out CDs with the top 984 lectures, 1,000 has a much
great harmony.
Bats:
Jan and I (Ron) invite you to visit with us at the end of September.
You can sit out on our porch in Wexford, PA, USA. We will give you a
glass of wine, or a soft drink and perhaps some Buffalo Chicken
Wings. At about 7:50 PM, the entertainment begins: the bats come out.
They swoop up and down gobbling up mosquitoes. There are three of
them (Curly, Larry and Mo as we have named them). There was a fourth,
shep, but sadly he took a dive into a closed window and was lost in
action. His radar was down that day. The price for seeing this enter-
tainment is, of course a lecture. If you send 2 lectures, we let you
see our deer and raccoons as well.
Supercourse Introductory Lecture:
We got a lot of great responses about the Supercourse lecture. Sadly,
if you look at the map of mirrored servers, we left out Madrid as was
pointed out by more than one person (all from Spain, of course).
Please include Madrid on your slides. Many people promised to present
about the Supercourse to their friends, neighbors, family and stu-
dents. Jaime Bech from Brazil did something wonderful for us, he
spontaneously translated the lecture into Portuguese. Similarly
Arturo Torres Peydro from Cuba did a masterful job in translating the
slides into Spanish. Rania Saad also translated the introductory
slides into Arabic and Eugene Shubnikov and Faina Linkov translated
the lectures into Russian. We will shortly be sending out the lec-
tures to all Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and Russian speaking coun-
tries. This will make it much easier to explain what we are doing. We
have made the introductory lecture and its various translations
available on the Supercourse as well. Enjoy, and if you have an op-
portunity, please take the opportunity to use some of the slides.
Library of Alexandria:
On Oct. 16th, 2002 there will be the opening of the Library of Alex-
andria in Alexandria Egypt. We have been invited to give two presen-
tations. Eugene Shubnikov will discuss the work of the Supercourse in
the former Soviet Union, and Ron will talk about building a global
Library of Alexandria Supercourse. This could be a very important
meeting in pushing the work that we all have been doing globally so
that a Supercourse will not be limited to prevention, but to all of
science.
Best regards from Pittsburgh,
Ron, Eugene, Curly, Akira, Faina, Larry, Mita, Rania, Abed, EunRy-
oung, Julia, Beatriz, Tom, Deb
