Konnichiwa!

It is amazing that we had about 100 contributions 
to Earth Calendar Online during July even if most 
of you are on your holidays!! We have viewed
contributions from Australia, Brazil, Greece, 
Hawaii, New Zealand and Japan. Many thanks to 
those who have contributed this month!

You can view two new experiments --- a Real Slide
Show "A Waterfall Slide Show from New Zealand" by 
Mitchell and Lynne, and a video movie "A Garden
Spider" by Sota from Japan. Many thanks to 
Mitchell, Lynne and Sota!

As Lynne stated in the June Newsletter, to view 
video movies and Real Slide Shows, you will need 
to have installed Real Player G2.

If you wish to create video movie and Slide Show 
files, please feel free to ask Project Leaders. 
We can help you anytime.

If you wish to upload Real Media Video and Slide 
Show files to Earth Calendar Online, you can do 
this via the ONLINE POST function.

We look forward to your contributions from now on
as well. We also welcome new contributors! You can
contribute to any projects which suit your 
interests and class schedule. At the same time, 
we would like to focus on "Recycling" in the 
latter half of this year. Any of you and your 
children's ideas about sharing the topic will 
be welcomed.

We hope the rest of 1999 will be exciting and 
challenging for you!!

Best wishes,
