What is '...INBEAT...'? Listen ... and Think '...INBEAT...' (International Beat) Song by ZMMM: "...People get ready..." http://www.myspace.com/ziggymarley ................................... Think of '...INBEAT...' as being a '...Global Community...' that belongs to all of its Members... Just like an Internet based United Nations, if you will. It will be used as a mechanism for addressing some of the present and future Global Challenges through the timely introduction of '...Precisioned Initiatives...' that the Community can execute. Because of the precisioned attributes of the '...Envisioned Initiatives...', they would invariably be less costly and more effective than prevailing "programs". Why, you may ask? : Simply because the Initiatives will be coming directly from their '...Source Of Origin...'.
