Plate tectonics: Blockchain ledger and planning for technical programming - re Stanford, Blockchain ledger data standards for health care sound worth developing, Robotic surgery, Conceptually - like Quickbooks/Multi-Store/TurboTax particularly for their multiple countries' multiple languages, A realistic virtual earth at the street view, cellular, atomic and subatomic levels-think Google Streetview / Maps / Earth with TIME SLIDER and conceptually with group build-able OpenSimulator/SL- in all 7,099 living languages


Lots of possibilities, though a lot of it ends up being more of a governance (people) issue than technical.

Getting some consistent data standards would help a lot, which is something that top-down approach might work better, but we’re currently stuck with lots of local and regional developments.

Jonathan,

Blockchain ledger data standards for health care sound worth developing  ... per online WUaS teaching hospitals in ~200 countries' official languages / clinical trials in 7,099 living languages ...  and keeping in mind planning for 7.5 billion people ... and with Chinese, Spanish, English and German as pilot languages at World University and School in addition to the pilot languages of CC MIT OCW Translated Courses - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ - which include Chinese and Spanish.

Things get a bit more complicated technically in planning for a realistic virtual earth for Robotic surgery (which Da Vinci project, for example, Stanford's Dr. James Lau told me about in May - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/05/frigatebird-saw-my-first-robotic.html), for example, and from within a realistic virtual earth at the street view, cellular, atomic and subatomic levels - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/08/embryonic-plant-seed-of-realistic.html - (think Google Streetview / Maps / Earth with TIME SLIDER and conceptually with group build-able OpenSimulator/SecondLife - in all 7,099 living languages) and for STEM research, and what I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy, where we can build this together (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy).  Coding for this realistic virtual earth in combination with the Google Brain project - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/03/molecule-stanford-googles-tom-dean.html - and keeping in mind coding for all species, for example, makes this even a bit more technically interesting, I'd think. Stanford Neuroscience Professor Bill Newsome is a great contact here, and he told me he was just in communication with Google/Stanford's Tom Dean.

If online Medical Schools / Teaching Hospitals in each of all ~200 countries' official languages emerged in partnership with Stanford Medicine's Grand Rounds' speaker Sanjeev Arora MD with "Project ECHO" - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/06/bezoar-ibex-capra-aegagrus-stanford.html - as a basis (in all ~200 countries' languages informing standards ...) and beginning with, for example, Sanjeev's example of their beginning with Hepatitis C to bring specialists to rural areas, with the three specialists - a Gastroenterologist, a Pharmacologist and a Psychiatrist - the Blockchain ledger data on the World University and School non-profit side would develop alongside the Blockchain / Bitcoin data for Pharmacological resources on the WUaS Corp for-profit side, country by country, and grow complicated with machine learning, AI and machine translation.

Governance-wise, I think Google Streetview/Maps/Earth has already laid the beginning ground work for this - and it certainly could be a focus for the WUaS Nation States' wiki subject - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nation_States (each to become a major university at WUaS in its official / main languages) and in this WUaS realistic virtual earth - and with the "Economics" and "Governance", for example, as well as Internet of Things - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Internet_of_Things - wiki subjects among many others. There are a lot of Blockchain/Bitcoin potential coding endeavors at WUaS ... and WUaS, conceptually, seeks to build out of Intuit's Quickbooks/Multi-Store/TurboTax, particularly for their multiple countries' multiple languages - eg https://quickbooks.intuit.com/choose-country/ - and their potential focus on countries' developments even in their tax codes.

WUaS would like to begin by hiring many Stanford graduate students - in Medicine and CS for example - and especially who are native speakers of English, Chinese, Spanish and German, as well as students who might know the MIT OCW Translated Courses' languages.

(On the for-profit wing, how also to code the Blockchain ledger/Bitcoin to deliver 11.5% annually in perpetuity on all ~200 countries' stock exchanges - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/08/himalayan-monal-mit-stanford-grad.html)? This is technically complicated economics, I would think.

I think the technical requirements of coding for a realistic virtual universe will involve Stanford / MIT graduate students who know the medicine and STEM in order to be able to code for it (e.g. medicine in deep space).

I think Stanford's B.H. MD and A.V. MD might be good people to talk further with about some of this on the World University and School non-profit wing. And Stanford Medicine (and Law) could "drive" and benefit from these technical projects in multiple ways. But planning for the Blockchain ledger with all 7.5 billion people in mind is a/the real opportunity here for Stanford.

Thanks, Jonathan.

Best regards,
Scott

Subduction (Gros Morne, Canada): Blockchain(&Bitcoin) for Health Care for All?, Jonathen Chen, Stanford Professor of Medicine (Programmer too), How to code for "BlockChain (for health care+) w BitCoin w database for all 7.5 billion people for Univ Basic Income? Law & CS-coding", In coding too for Universal Basic Income (conceptually like Quickbooks/Multi-Store/TurboTax - and planning for the Blockchain re World University and School's many academic and educational services' endeavors ... there are Quaker service (AFSC) and moral economy (e.g. THE MORAL ECONOMY OF TOURISM - questions at play here ... where World University and School seeks to be in all ~200 countries' official languages as major universities and in all 7,099 living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning


Hi Jonathan,

Thanks so much for your email, and sorry you can't join the WUAS Corporation Board at this time. 

Since World University and School has two wings (non-profit World Univ & Sch and for-profit WUaS Corp), it would be great to stay in communication about our non-profit CC MIT OCW-centric wing planned as major online universities in all ~200 countries' official languages, and especially re, for example - "BlockChain (for health care+) w BitCoin w database for all 7.5 billion people for Univ Basic Income? Law & CS-coding" 
 https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/901594930707013632. Stanford Medicine could stand to benefit enormously with this via WUaSHealth Care data Blockchain planned for all people, - and especially as WUaS begins to develop something like Medicine OpenCourseWare for online Medical degrees and online teaching hospitals. (See, too, especially, this video -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeoYOyqOZ00 ... accessible here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/08/continental-shelf-blockchain-for-health.html.

As a programmer, how would you begin to plan for all 7.5 billion people re heath care data in Blockchain (if WUaS, for example can make this happen partly through focusing on developing Universal Basic Income coding-wise emphasizing the "UNIVERSAL") - and in all countries' official languages? 

Congratulations on becoming a Stanford Professor of Medicine. 

Best regards, 

Scott

Dear Jonathan,

Thanks for your excellent Stanford Grand Rounds talk today - http://medicinecalendars.stanford.edu/event/medicine-grand-rounds-understanding-healthcare-reform-pre-aca-to-aca-to/?instance_id=20184. It would be great to talk further about some of these questions and coding for health care and individuals in all ~200 countries re the blockchain - per your observation today about Britain and Denmark having databases of individual health care recipients / insurees in their countries, and World University and Schools' plans to create online medical schools with online teaching hospitals and with blockchain - and potentially planning for all 7 billion people in the world (in all 7,099 living languages).

So I'm writing to ask if you would be available to join the WUaS Corporation as a Board member?

The WUaS Corporation is a new development and legal entity, and wing of World University and School. World University and School is like CC Wikipedia (in its 358 languages) with CC MIT OCW (in its 7 languages) and Yale OYC, and seeks to create major online universities in each of all ~200 countries' official and main languages - Harvards/MITs/Stanfords of the Web (as well as wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all living languages - 7,099 in Ethnologue).

As the WUaS Corporation emerges, and as we file the legal paperwork for this (we've already filed the initial Articles of Incorporation), I'm writing to inquire whether you would be available please to be a first Board member (with the medical informatics portfolio in multiple languages) for this for-profit company, forking from World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2017/06/wuas-corporations-10-planned-for-profit.html - for just a few hours per week/month? In the process of incorporating newly as a for-profit, the startup WUaS Corporation will be able to offer only shares to Board members. Please let me know if you'd like to see the current business plan in its early phases. The potential growth of WUaS is significant.

The WUaS Corporation seeks to be in each of all ~200 countries and their official languages, and in all 8,444 languages (in Glottlog), as academic markets.

If I can answer any questions, or provide you with further information on the phone or in other ways, please let me know.

Thank you, Jonathan!

Best regards, Scott

Continental shelf: BlockChain (for health care+) w BitCoin w database for all 7.5 billion people for Univ Basic Income?, Facilitate Law- and Computer Science-coding in all ~200 countries' languages, And could WUaS do this in conjunction with Stanford Medicine and Stanford Law (and with MIT communities too)?, "Why Blockchain is a Game Changer for the Health Industry" article, How BLOCKCHAIN works video re healthcare, * World Univ and Sch's Law Schools (planned in all countries' official languages) * "Computer Science" wiki subject page, eventually for CC MIT OCW-centric degrees ... * WUaS Medical Schools * WUaS online Teaching Hospitals * Clinical Trials planned in all languages


In what ways could World Univ and Sch facilitate Law- and Computer Science-coding in all ~200 countries' languages for BlockChain (for health care+) with BitCoin, developing a database for all 7.5 billion people with a Universal Basic Income as a first service-focus, and as a reason to develop this universally?

And could WUaS do this in conjunction with Stanford Medicine and Stanford Law (and with MIT communities too)?

And if coding for Bitcoin and Health Care - planning for all 7.5 billion individuals on the planet in all 7,099 living languages - (e.g. emerging out of the "You_at_World_University" wiki subject  http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/You_at_World_University) - what else would WUaS best plan for re the Blockchain (since Universal Basic Income' UNIVERSAL word will entail coding for everyone) ...?

Quetzalcoatlus: The Farm, Stanford (The Farm), Interesting Stanford article about The Farm in the 1960s - and re Harbin Hot Springs from the '60s ... "Thanks, Richard Rorty ! > ? ", Is Harbin Hot Springs similar to CANYON: THE STORY OF THE LAST RUSTIC COMMUNITY IN METROPOLITAN AMERICA


Hi David, 

Interesting Stanford article about The Farm in the 1960s ... http://news.stanford.edu/2017/07/23/1967-year-summer-love-stanford/

1967: The year of the Summer of Love at Stanford

Stanford students celebrated the counterculture hippie movement with their own be-ins, concerts and protests in the darkening shadow of the Vietnam War.  
And in this article is this reference ...

Trip: http://stanforddailyarchive.com/cgi-bin/stanford?a=d&d=stanford19670131-01.2.15 ... and a link to a Stanford professor - https://history.stanford.edu/people/mark-mancall - who might have knowledge of some of this.

And based on this Stanford 1960's article, I made two Harbin book postsL

Hi David,

Nice to talk recently.

More about tmThe Farm in Tennessee here ...
http://thefarmcommunity.com ... and which looks like its still going, emerging from the 1960s somewhat continuously ... wonder what it's like on the ground (and re Harbin) ...

Wonder too what sort of gathering and totality emerged there for the eclipse.

Fond regards,
Scott

Richard Rorty (1931–2007) developed a distinctive and controversial brand of pragmatism that expressed itself along two main axes. One is negative—a critical diagnosis of what Rorty takes to be defining projects of modern philosophy. The other is positive—an attempt to show what intellectual culture might look like, once we free ourselves from the governing metaphors of mind and knowledge in which the traditional problems of epistemology and metaphysics (and indeed, in Rorty's view, the self-conception of modern philosophy) are rooted. ... https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/rorty/

This course asks:
What is information technology, broadly conceived? How did it develop? Who did it? What has been the process of diffusion into the economy and society? How and why did the Network Society take shape? In this course, we’ll analyze the interaction between society and contemporary information technologies, in a multicultural and comparative perspective. In doing so, we’ll examine what data and evidence are in the social sciences, how they are used, and how they are interpreted. We'll also explore how this informs the development of wiki MIT OCW-centric World University and School:

Blue Morpho: education and Scottish country dancing, "Why Blockchain is a Game Changer for the Health Industry", WUaS's "You at WUaS" and online teaching "Hospitals" and "Clinical Research" and again planning for all 7 billion+ people on the planet database-wise, Stanford Medicine Grand Rounds, WUaS developing in NEW Miraheze MediaWiki, WUaS is just beginning to matriculate/enroll students, and presently this is with an email from me, Here's an example of course structure for our first matriculating students re a MIT OCW course


Ross (and Liz),

Thanks for your email. See you tomorrow at Stanford Medicine if you're there; I met Jonathan Chen at another Grand Rounds not long ago - http://medicinecalendars.stanford.edu/event/medicine-grand-rounds-understanding-healthcare-reform-pre-aca-to-aca-to/?instance_id=20184.

Looks like Mountain View Scottish Country Dancing begins on Wednesdays on Sept 6 - http://www.mtview-rscds.org/.

And the RSCDS-SF has a fairly comprehensive listing of dances+ in the SF Bay Area - http://www.rscds-sf.org/classes/.

Red Thistle SCD in Palo Alto, which I may have mentioned to you, appears to be for advanced dancers.

Startup World University and School is just beginning to matriculate/enroll students, and presently this is with an email from me and for an online CC MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree in English. If you know of someone who's interested, please invite them to email me at ___@worlduniversityandschool.org ; the (new) wiki is open for teaching and learning, and soon in many languages.

(WUaS is interested even in planning for very large numbers of students in all ~200 countries' official languages - and even all 7 billion+ people for Blockchain/bitcoin +. Here's an explanation of Blockchain's potential which I recently found helpful re health care data: "Why
Blockchain is a Game Changer for the Health Industry" -
https://twitter.com/GerdMoeBehrens/status/899024693050695680 (posted here recently - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch) - and for WUaS's "You at WUaS" and online teaching "Hospitals" and "Clinical Research" and again planning for all 7 billion+ people on the planet database-wise.

Hope to see you tomorrow morning if you're at Medical Grand Rounds.

All the best,
Scott

Ross, thank you as well.

Alas, for Scottish country dancing!

I'm teaching an open course on the Information Age on Tuesdays at 9 am in a group video Hangout beginning Tuesdays, September 26th - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - if you might be interested, and otherwise there are literally potentially unlimited opportunities on the wiki side -
wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org - for both teaching and learning, with much MIT OpenCourseWare, for example. What are you interested in learning?

See you soon!

Best wishes,
Scott

Hi Luca,

Thanks for your clear feedback. I hope this finds you well as well. I'm learning about this Miraheze Mediawiki software, and so am grateful for your replies.

By a) automatically or b) for myself, I meant by a) machine translation or b) by my own translation. Am I correct in assuming that Miraheze Mediawiki doesn't (yet) have machine translation, since I don't see a German translation, nor the option to machine translate this - neither on the translated "Mission" page you shared

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Mission&language=de&action=page&filter=

nor in the new "Frettinga" test page I created -

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Frettinga&language=de&action=page&filter=

I only see the option to type in my own translation. (I thought I might see the beginnings of a German translation, but also wonder whether that will further emerge when Wikidata-lexeme - http://wikidata-lexeme.wmflabs.org/index.php/Main_Page in Wikidata/Wiktionary emerges).

(I made the new Frettinga test page here https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Frettinga, and added just "de" to the priority languages, in reply to your question).

So thanks to you, here is the beginning of a translated Frettinga test page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Frettinga&language=de&action=page&filter=.

I'll begin to seek Chinese and Spanish translators for WUaS degree programs in those languages - and soon to begin to add MIT OCW courses to various WUaS Subject pages, when they are newly in Miraheze.

(And WUaS seeks eventually to generate an universal translator - and probably partly with Lexeme-Wikidata, since WUaS donated itself to Wikidata in Oct 2015, and even for academic publishing to paper+ (so book publication) - so how best to focus / help to create this in its emergence, Luca? Phabricator?)

I'll begin now to follow up on some of my other recent questions, and re Phabricator, especially for Citoid, and Templates for "Languages" as wiki schools in those languages, and Templates for "Nation States" as universities in their official/main languages.

How please would you suggest creating a list of languages on the left like Spanish here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nontheist_Quakers - and with Spanish, but where the priority languages also include German, and the MIT OCW languages - Chinese, Spanish, Korean, Portuguese, Turkish, Persian (which are MIT OCW languages - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/) - and Romanian, French, Russian, Arabic, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_languages_of_the_United_Nations), Hindi, Tamil, Scots Gaelic, Vietnamese, Japanese and Italian (and the option to easily add other languages, like Native American languages, for example) - also over on the left?

Thank you, Luca!

Best regards, Scott

Hi Luca (and All), 

Thank you again - and particularly for your helpful and encouraging responses to my questions about the new - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/ - which is coming along nicely. 

Eventually WUaS will seek to have machine translation available on this wiki, especially in that WUaS seeks to create an universal translator in all 7,099 living languages (for text, voice, for an academic press in all languages, potentially integrated with CC-0 Wikisource, and in a realistic virtual earth - and for (Google?) brain research even), but not yet. 

Re Languages - which are WUaS's first and foremost area (of about 10 areas) ... worlduniversityandschool.org (each planned, in that language, as a wiki school or a major university i.e. Harvard/MIT/Stanford) - it would be great to be able to just list all 295 languages in Wikipedia in the left column of WUaS's new wiki, and also plan for all 7,099 living languages (in Ethnologue), 8,444 entries in languages (in Glottolog), the languages of the ISO 639+ and then make it possible for an academic linguistic researcher or a computational linguist, for example, to add other ones they find or invent etc. (... similarly for WUaS Nation States, each to become a major university in their official / main languages).

Would it be possible please to just begin creating "Languages" and ~200 (Olympics?) "Nation States' lists in the left column, soon-ish? ("Nation States" would be in English and their official/main languages again, to start).

In the meantime, I'll explore using the language tag you suggest - "" ... 

Re the Wikidata-Lexeme, which Lydia's team has been developing ...  https://twitter.com/nightrose/status/898936778807291908 ...
http://wikidata-lexeme.wmflabs.org/index.php/Main_Page - it looks like this is NOT a WMF project - Warning: this is not a live Wikimedia Foundation project. - so it could potentially become integrated independently of WMF. 

I'll continue with developing some of my previous questions in this thread e.g. a) Citoid in Wikipedia's languages and re Miraheze Phabricator and b) WUaS TEMPLATES which would also be integrated languages-wise (above). I'm curious to begin too adding individual CC-4 MIT OCW courses to individual WUaS wiki subjects (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Computer_Science - and which might connect with matriculated students - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/You_at_World_University), but this would probably wait until the WUaS SUBJECT TEMPLATE is working in Miraheze. How best to integrate the SUBJECT TEMPLATE in multiple languages WITH Wikidata/Wikibase, and language by language, is also an imminent question. 

In the meantime, I'll also begin to explore the English-German translation potentials further, and seek Chinese and Spanish academics and coders - since these are WUaS's pilot languages. Thank you. 

Gratefully, Scott

Hi Luca (and All), 

Thanks so much, Luca, for your many good suggestions!

I'll check out - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CustomSidebar - and many of your other good Miraheze information technologies, and re these previous beginning attempts at "Languages" and "Nation States" at WUaS: 






In a Stanford Law Codex presentation (with Stanford Law Professor Roland Vogl) two weeks ago, I met MIT"s and lawyer Dazza Greenwood, who's leading Blockchain development in Cambridge, MA. 


... planning for Blockchain (and Bitcoin) at this stage has much merit. 

Here's an explanation of Blockchain's potential which I found helpful re health care data: "Why Blockchain is a Game Changer for the Health Industry" - https://twitter.com/GerdMoeBehrens/status/899024693050695680 (posted here recently - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch) - and WUaS's "You at WUaS" and Teaching "Hospitals" and "Clinical Research" are planning for all 7 billion+ people on the planet database-wise.

WUaS is also planning an online Academic Press - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - in all 7,099 living languages with robust machine translation (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Academic_Press_at_World_University_and_School) and similarly an online Bookstore, and potentially coding these with CC-0 Wikisource (per Lydia) in Wikipedia's 295 languages. All of this would integrate with Blockchain and Bitcoin in all ~200 countries, and the WUaS law students (and Computer Science Ph.D. students) in all ~200 countries' official languages could help code for this in their countries' legal system. 

Thank you, Scott

Here's an example of course structure for our first matriculating students re a MIT OCW course. 

Dear T:
The course web site is https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/sloan-school-of-management/15-031j-energy-decisions-markets-and-policies-spring-2012/index.htm.   It looks to me like this course was offered live in the spring and will not be offered live this fall.  However, the web site has links to all of the materials that you will need to take with course as an independent study course with me.

The grading scheme listed on the web site cannot work, since there won't be students to make a team.  Instead, I will assign you a pass/fail grade based on your completing the work and sending me the assignments and on your doing well on the tests that I generate for you.  Okay?

The next step is for you to explore this web site and make sure that you discuss any problems with me.  Sincerely, L.V.

Eared quetzal (eared trogon): Meditation emerging from the warm pool at Harbin Hot Springs even, Moving to the Center, A bit more Yoga daily, Does movement create new cells and neurons? (I asked Google) Yes, for example, see these articles, Hippy~anjali Yoga Notations, But how would Yoga asana localization possibilities HEAL?, Columbia Univ - "How do wounds, cuts, scrapes, lacerations heal?", Now how to reverse and heal eustachian tube dysfunction ...


Hi M,

I imagine you've settled in home again, and could even have enjoyed a lovely breakfast on the back porch today. How's the weather? How are you?

I've been sitting in meditation every day for years now (the dailiness partly emerging from the warm pool at Harbin even - where such meditation in cross-legged lotus pose, as a kind of anchor in its buoyant water, is really releasing and can be somehow uniquely wonderful).

But I'm now wanting to add a bit more Yoga after this sitting - and until I'm 874 (and then yet a bit more Yoga after this:) - say to about 15 minutes of Yoga in the morning now. For example, today I did Sun Salutations, and Viparita Karani (legs up the wall pelvis elevated chest opener pose - which is a favorite regenerative one for me) ... and partly re my R eustachian tube dysfunction (gargling with salt in very hot water seems to be the one thing that might help - and a Nadi pot isn't my thing:), and my shorter right leg, and my right shoulder injury, and with the bellows under my right arm on my small pipes, and now after the R top tooth crown ... - and I was able to do sun salutations and Viparita Karani re my right should today, I'm glad to say .... but I still can't do full chest openers like shoulder stand or any pose that pulls that right front shoulder "pinion attachment" I'll call it. So I think active yoga movement will generate fitness and wellness, and even connections (neural, cellular et al).

Does movement create new cells and neurons? (I asked Google) Yes, for example, see these articles:

http://www.livestrong.com/article/534560-does-exercise-increase-red-blood-cells/

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/science/neurophilosophy/2012/feb/23/brain-new-cells-adult-neurogenesis


Would also like to explore the "plan" word, possibly with B ... G's planning thinking "If you don't plan, someone else will" ... could be relevant here too.

Interesting that Bri is moving closer to the center at Crosslands-Kendall, and downsizing.

In further planning - and re "moving to the center" (I hear G's thinking here again) - I think it could be fascinating to move to Palo Alto with Stanford as its center, or in terms of possible plan B and C ... to Boston (Concord area?) ... or to Philadelphia, and perhaps downtown center near Friends' Center in Phil or somewhere between Arch Street as another Quaker center and the University of Pennsylvania, if ... for example. Eventually, when I'm 85-100 or older, it might be interesting to move to Crosslands/Kendall even ... (since I've lived in the Media/Swarthmore/Wallingford area at Pendle Hill before, for example). But Stanford and Palo Alto of these places is the nicest with the nicest weather too. Culturally? ... I like proximity to Cuttyhunk for community (as a definition of culture here) ... but I don't think I want to live in New Bedford.

Heading to Quaker Meeting today ... would be great if the SF Meeting was in a very beautiful location, in a very beautiful building, with much green around, and generated a culture of trust, and I'l also say generativity - and for kids in the children's program too, as well as adults. In its attempt to be of service, it's chosen a pretty down and out area of SF to be in ... but this all could change too. It's possible even that a World University Bookstore will emerge even in the front room of the SF Quaker Meeting this October amazingly.

Two new Logos for WUaS too -

Hi M,

Glad to hear ... and thanks for your email. Hi to Kare!

Found two articles on how exercise - such as Yoga asana with its range and localization possibilities - creates a) cells and b) neural cells
(called neurogenesis) ...
http://www.livestrong.com/article/534560-does-exercise-increase-red-blood-cells/

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/science/neurophilosophy/2012/feb/23/brain-new-cells-adult-neurogenesis

But how would Yoga asana localization possibilities HEAL - say the floaters in my eye from my recent tooth process - is another question?

So I looked up in Google "why would filling a body part with blood heal it?" (such as from a particular Yoga pose) and found:

How do wounds, cuts, scrapes, lacerations heal?

http://goaskalice.columbia.edu/answered-questions/how-do-wounds-cuts-scrapes-lacerations-heal

Now how to reverse and heal eustachian tube dysfunction ...

Heading to Stanford soon for a noon Ph.D. defense - https://events.stanford.edu/events/704/70497/ - and re WUaS genetic engineering, and also to a concert in Stanford Memorial Church by a choir from the Burlingame Episcopal Church that sung in England this summer - https://events.stanford.edu/events/696/69687/. It might be an interesting choir to explore singing in this autumn - and both for harmonizing and music-making as well as networking.

L,
Scott
