Pearsian
language CD-Rom
This site promotes a CD-Rom that teaches children Persian. The sample
pages look very cool. It seems that it's been prepared by professioinals.
I would consider it if I had a young child.
Iranian Society of Environmentalists
"Established for promotion of environmental knowledge qualitatively
through integration of development aspects and sustainable development aims,
applying appropriate technology, development of expert research activities
in environmental fields." -- Thanks to Payman Arabshahi

Kaveh from California
writes: I am the creator of this staion on mp3.com: it's called PERSIA
and my intention is to promote all the great artists.There are some very
good tracks in our station and we have managed to move towards the high
position stations in mp3.com. Right now we are station #15 which is a suprise.
Each time the music is played, mp3.com will pay the artists for the playtime,
so the artist himself/herself will benefit this exposure.
EuroPars
"Europars is a registered Dutch based company active in both Iran
and Europe. The company is launched and led by 4 ICT professionals with
more then 15 years of experience. Our core business is web design, advertising

Beyond Iran
Icuna
In Finnish, Icuna means "window." In Latin, Incunabula means
"cradle" or "beginning." In reality, Icuna is a new
media company that hopes to send you a one-minute film via email every weekday.
While they're not officially up and running just yet, they do have a fascinating
archive of one-minute wonders form the likes of Alex Cox, recent NYU film
school grad Julie Delpy, and the mind-bogglingly prolific Paul Mazursky.
So spare yourself sixty seconds for a filmic haiku. -- Yahoo review
Le piano graphique
Tre cool. This very hip and very French music simulator transforms your
PC into a fully funktified groove machine. It works by assigning a sample
to each letter on your keyboard: a breakbeat, a lead synth melody, a hip-hop
chorus, etc. Lay down a basic bass and drum track, then go crazy with the
leads. -- Yahoo review
Piet Mondrian
Mondrian's "transatlantic paintings" refer to a group of seventeen
works the artist began in Europe between 1935 and 1940, and finished in
New York after arriving in the States in 1940. The interest in these works
stems from the fact that they are the only pieces that were worked on both
in Europe and America. -- Yahoo review
InterPlanetary Internet
The Internet Society is an organization that works to ensure the growth
and evolution of the Internet and its infrastructure. The Interplanetary
Internet research group represents its latest foray into the future. The
goal of this project "is to define the architecture and protocols necessary
to permit interoperation of the Internet resident on Earth with other remotely
located internets resident on other planets or spacecraft in transit."
What's all that mean? Well, as far as we can tell, it means that if this
plan takes root, sending an email to Mars in the future will be much easier
than downloading an MP3 from Napster. -- Yahoo review
Underwater Archaeology
Beneath the waters of the Mediterranean lie vast amounts of relics from
the region's maritime history. Undisturbed for centuries, these items are
painstakingly uncovered, identified, catalogued, photographed, and analyzed
by teams of intrepid marine archaeologists from France and other countries.
This site highlights some daring expeditions and pays homage to past discoverers
who brought the complicated craft of modern diving to the fore. Like their
dry-land counterparts -- these marine archaeologists are concerned with
more than human artifacts. -- Yahoo review
