Hi,
 
Because of sevral e-mail requests, I am posting again this message here for the
benefit of others who might need such service.

I have used the following service for several conversions from NTSC to PAL that 
have been mailed back to Europe. I understand that the conversion is made

original tape.

There is a service in Raleigh, NC where video conversion from any country format
to any format can be made for several types of cassettes(BETA, VHS, VHS-C and  8 mm).
This will allow playback of videotapes made overseas, here on U.S. TV's and VCR's
(NTSC System). The service will also convert the other way around, from
U.S. system to any of the systems used anywhere else in the world (PAL,
SECAM, etc..)

Well, since you mentioned correction, it should be noted that the English 
Language differentiates between Arians and Aryans. Arians were the group of 
people around Arius river (Harrir rood) in today's Afganestan which also 
were part of the Persian empire.

Salam bar Doostan,

I follow more than 15 newsgroups regularly, sci being one of them. Each 
newsgroup has a group of regular contributers and sci is certainly not an 
exception. However I think sci is different from any other newsgroup in 
that most its contributors don't use their real names.
I would say more than half of the articles posted to this newsgroup are posted
either anonymously or posted by people who don't use their real names. I was
reading an article posted by 'Haji Firooz' this morning in which he/she had
tried to make peace between 'Satan' and 'Agha Javad'!!  I don't know how
the rest of people feel but I would much rather follow a serious discussion 
between Behzad and Babak than a discussion between 'Satan' and 'Haji Firooz' 
even though I don't know any of them, and this is irrespective
of the subject of the discussion! (All names are given just as examples and
in fact I appreciate Haji Firooz's effort to put an end to some of the
nonsense shouting exchanges on this public forum)

In short I don't know want to read into this current trend. I used to
think that people were scared to voice their political opinions and that
is why they wouldn't use their names but obvioiusly I was wrong (a couple of
weeks ago somebody posted a recipe anonymously!). If anyone has any theory
explaining this (which again I think is unique to sci) please let me know.
Otherwise please try to use your real names.

Be Brave, use your real name!

Right, if you consider akhounds' barbarism, human
rights violations and intensified repression (e.g.,
arresting 113,000 women a year for baseless charges)
the "affair of Iran."

Certainly, the opposite is not true. After all, Khomanie was
very nice to everyone before the revolution (remember HaMeh
Ba Ham). While no one can 100% guarantee what would become of
Mojahedin when the current regime falls, couple of key
points may be examined. Shah kept to power due to its
foreign (US) ties and its military might. Khomanie and its
regime kept to power due to backward religious belief of
many and the huge popularity that Khomanie enjoyed at the
beginning of the revolution. Mojahedin on the other hand
neither have the military might of the Shah or religious
attraction of Khomanie. They are supported and  made of
highly educated individuals whose only goal are to bring
democracy to Iran. The slightest move toward dictatorship
will result in its destruction. 

Also, look at their behavior in the past two decades. While
they have captured many Pasdars during the war, not even one
of these Pasdars (some of them were directly involved in the
torture of many Mojahedin) were executed and almost all
were released to go to where ever they wanted to. Many of
these X-Pasdars chose to stay with NLA. These X-enemies of
Mojahedin joined NLA because of the way Mojahedin treated
each other and their "enemy".

Finally, the world has changed. End of cold war has brought
new realities. You see even in third world countries like
Jordan, they are talking about election, parliament, etc. I
have no doubt that whoever comes after this regime, must at
least satisfy basic democracy in Iran; things like freedom
to dress, drink, listen, associate, read, write, elect and
be elected to some parliament.

The same poeple who have been spying for S.H. and C.I.A and having been 
fighting against their own people while staying in next door country.
Well thats kind of hard to believe that they are going to bring back peace
and democracy to Iran. You need to take some classes in political science
(e.g. Polotical Science 101.1,..... etc.) instead of Engineering courses, 
if you want to run a country. To bad almost all MKOs people are educated
in Engineering area(As they claim) and have not any experience in politics.

Just another deep thought..... :)

From: Japan Times, December 24, 1992
                 
Iranian surgeons carry out low-cost heart transplant
                 
NICOSIA (Reuter-Kyodo) Iranian surgeons performed a heart
transplant on a 16-year-old boy and said Tuesday the cost
of the operation was only a fraction of that in other
countries.
                
The two-hour operation, described by Iranian television as
Iran's first, was carried out Monday in the southern city
of Shiraz, the site of one of Iran's best medical schools.
                  
It named the head of the transplant team of eight surgeons
as Mohammad Ali Sanjarian.

"I feel fine," Mahmoud Haqparast, who received the heart of
a teenager killed in a car accident, told the television
from his hospital bed.
           
Sanjarian said the operation cost 250 million rials ($170,000)
in other countries but only five million rials ($3,400) in
Shiraz University's Namazi Hospital.
        
Iranian doctors have been performing kidney transplants for
several years, after the country's top religious leaders ruled
that the transplant of human organs does not violate Islamic
law.
            
The Iranian news agency IRNA reported in May that doctors had
successfully carried out Iran's first heart transplant in the
northwestern city of Tabriz.

Hello all,

	We are doing research on various items that international countries
would be interested in exporting and importing.  The items can consist of
anything from clothing to large machines.  Of course, they must be a legal
product to enter and exit the different countries.  These are some questions 
that we are trying to find the answers to:
 
1.) How would we gather information concerning the legal regulations on
	shipping to or from Iran or any other Persian country? 

2.) Who would an individual contact in those countries about shipping
	requirements?  

3.) What kind of licences or paper work does a company need to enter
	that foreign market place?


I really would appreciate any help concerning this matter.  Thank you very
much for your time and hope to hear from you soon.




Sincerely,


Ron Ables

An organization that once claimed to be "Iran's spearhead in the 
strugle against world imperialism" is now contempt and excited about
being on the air for a few minutes in a US TV station !

I must say:

Hello,

Well I really don't know anything about these legal regulations that you have
asked for, but I just know this that there isn't "ANY OTHER PERSIAN COUNTRY"!!

Maybe you meant arabic country! but in that case Iran is not an Arabic country!

With best regards
