John, 
Thanks so much for your email and interest in the Restorative Yoga explorations on Saturday's at 8 am Pacific Time ...

And great, John, if I've moved forward the WUaS Academic Medical Center and the Yoga hall into a vacant, with property deed 670 Ridgecrest Rd, Canyon 94516 by tomorrow morning, but it's not looking like it yet  ... Maybe Saturday May 2 ... Have a great trip to Tahoe!

Also asked Gemini 
What restorative Yoga asanas could people do - (and as we may live to 150 and well beyond:)? - that 80 and 90 year olds could do at age 135 some of which effects would also be measurable in our avatar agent electronic health records as digital twins emerging from little Google Pegman in Google Street View with Time Slider interoperable in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForYogaAsana, a #RealisticVirtualEarthForYoga and in 1 iterating #RealisticVirtualEarth #ForEverything re 8 limbs Yoga and say starting with 3 inner body (as a kind of consciousness or awareness) yoga meditations without tennis balls with yogini Angela Farmer selected from - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCJfXwm97rw ?

Stanford Law CodeX - [codex_group_meetings] TODAY! CodeX Mtg (4/23 @1.30p PT): elAbogado (via Zoom) 



Dear Roland, Martin, Veronica, Stanford Law CodeX, 

Thanks so much for your great ElAbogado AI - https://www.elabogado.com/lawyers/about-elabogado/ - Stanford Law CodeX presentation on Thursday April 24, 2026 (and looking forward to the recording here - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL48E61C121CAD0E1B  - or here - https://www.youtube.com/@stanfordlawschool).

I wonder for example how to adapt "The AI platform that generates, qualifies and distributes potential clients for lawyers" to an AI platform that generates, qualifies and distributes potential students for law faculty, or academic faculty, or universities at World University and School, planning 250 + online law schools in all 200 countries (from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States) and in their main languages (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages in these languages), and building on MIT OCW in 7 languages - https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/ & https://ocw.mit.edu/, so, further, at Spain World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Spain - planned in the Spanish language from - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Spanish_language - and where MIT OCW is in Spanish - https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/spanish/ - but since MIT doesn't' have a law school, there aren't yet many MIT OCW law courses to translate into Spanish, or similar. (And there are 20 countries in the world plus Puerto Rico (a U.S. territory) where Spanish is the official language, out of about 200 countries, per the Olympics). 

In the text chat, asked: 

Brainstorming, in what ways could one extend this ElAbogado AI to law faculty teaching online e.g. in each of all 200 countries’ WUaS Law Schools partly as LLMs, and in these countries’ languages ? Thanks, Scott GK MacLeod (and see - Law Schools at World University and School (planned in main languages in them)

Veronica, how best for World University and School to start generating and saving our datasets (in all 200 countries' languages for all ~200 WUaS Universities) for AI and ML purposes, paralleling ElAbogado AI's 15 years of data you continue to draw on for your AI to further develop? 
Thoughts?
Thanks for making the ElAbogado AI platform generation process so transparent too!
Looking forward to staying in touch.
