Dear Valerie and friends,
We are always doing progress in a number of fronts at the same time, and I
am glad to inform that in the 2nd edition of the Novo Deit Libras we have
adopted a more consistent set of conventions than we did in the previous
edition of the Novo Deit Libras, as well as in the original Deit Libras. I
hope you will enjoy the progress.
Thank you, and blessings to all,
Fernando

> So Eda, Yuri, Fernando, and everyone - Your efforts to write LIBRAS are

> discussed trying to correct or re-write some of the SignSpellings in the
> dictionaries, and I actually did a little work on that with Fernando last

> one's fault, but there are some SignSpellings that are not the way I write,

*"I have always felt as I pass from the turmoil of urban streets through
the gates and onto the campus of an institution of higher learning,
anywhere in the world, a sense of relief and comfort, solemnity and
freedom. The feeling is not unlike that when one enters a national park,
for this is what colleges and universities are -- they are sanctuaries,
preserves -- of civilization. They are the only institution in the course
of human endeavor whose sole purpose and mission is to know the course,
content, and directions of civilization, to understand, preserve protect,
and transmit these findings, and to seek further advances and new insights
into the truth of ourselves and the world...[The] environment
should...assure exposure to all the necessary skills and the best ideas and
conceptual frameworks of the time, and provide stimulation from an active,
well-read thoughtful, positive, innovative, and open faculty, all in an
atmosphere of freedom and tolerance. Like libraries that have to have all
the books to make sure they have the one somebody needs, we have to have
the freedom at universities to tolerate and encourage all sorts of
individual diversity, both in faculty and students, so that we can be sure
that the best mind gets the exposure to the best cognitive resource which
might enable that one-in-a-million new idea that can change the course of a
discipline, or civilization." *
