When might be some good possible times to potentially talk on the phone about Project ECHO and World University and School's planned online Medical Schools and teaching hospitals in all countries and their official and main languages - and possible collaborations?
Thank you too for sharing your card with me.
Looking forward very much to talking further with you. Thank you.
All the best,

Dear Dr. Prober,
Very nice to meet and talk with you this morning after Stanford Grand Rounds' excellent talk by Dr. Sanjeev Arora's "Medicine Grand Rounds: Democratizing Knowledge to Reduce Disparities in Healthcare – Project ECHO" - http://medicinecalendars.stanford.edu/event/medicine-grand-rounds-democratizing-knowledge-to-reduce-disparities-in-healthcare-project-echo/.

Project ECHO is extraordinary ... and WUaS may be able to help with plans for all countries' official languages ...
Will probably head to Stanford to develop WUaS Corp further as well as focus on writing my next book - of poetry.
Wanting to make advances in the WUaS Corporation with Board and Officers (will probably work with Bylaws from Nolo Press related), and create an entity that is both excellent in all ~204 countries and all 7,099 living languages and returns 11.5% in perpetuity, if possible ... and where the communication between both wings is well-focused, generative and excellent legally as well.
Just heard back from Gerd that he's not available to be on the WUaS Corporation Board. He's excellent and very knowledgeable in STEM and synthetic biology, and is an Apple Programmer, but I most appreciate the quality of communication I see in his email, and have experienced in knowing him. He's in some of the Google group video Hangouts from 2012 here below on my web page -
"Hi Scott,
Great to hear from you. Unfortunately, I am quite busy and not able to take more responsibilities for the present. Good luck with your next steps.
As the new WUaS Corporation emerges, and as we file the legal paperwork for this, I'm writing to inquire whether you would be available please to become a WUaS Corp Board member of this for-profit company (with the Synthetic Biology / related STEM portfolio), forking from World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html
- for just a couple of 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.
The WUaS Corporation seeks to be in each of all ~200 countries and their official languages, and in all 8,444 languages, as academic markets.
How best could we possibly please talk further about this?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Scott"
... There's a quality of ethic and integrity and reason I appreciate in all of our communications - that are both caring and also realistic in modernity/internetity (a term I think I've coined).
But I'm also very very appreciative of my friendly communication with Larry over the years of developing World University and School, and re this new WUaS Corporation too.

Hi M,
How is your day going? It's cooler here in San Mateo area just north of Stanford this afternoon compared with Canyon.
Stanford Medicine's Grand Rounds meets tomorrow morning at 8 which means a waking up at 5 am morning ... Just left Stanford after a great talk by Wesleyan Professor "Paula Matthusen: Sounds in Remembered Spaces and before" - https://events.stanford.edu/events/702/70213/ - whom I've emailed and hope to stay in communication with academically.
She records sound from underground tunnels and in all sorts of places, and composes musical pieces from this - quite remarkably.
How would sound from a recording from a realistic virtual earth of a tunnel below the Library of Alexandria sound today compared with when the tunnel was built - is a mind expanding question?
Heard back from a first likely affirmative WUaS Corp Board member, who is a Doctor of Pharmacology, and has a Stanford MBA, and who is originally from India .... D.J. ... all big pluses ... and perhaps with the Pharmacology / India / Stanford Business School-related portfolios :) Have emailed her asking if I can add her to name to the Board list in the next paperwork filing steps. Perhaps she's even looking for a job ... and perhaps can be remunerated in shares.
Will email a few further invitations to the WUaS Corp soon ...
L,
Scott

Good morning, M,
Here I was at Grand Rounds ... and I had read just before
this that there's a bike sale for $33.50 each beginning at 7 am by the
Stanford Police, which I've checked out - get a ticket early come back
at 11:45 to line up in numerical order.
The talk's by Dr. Arora MD from New Mexico, originally from India, about Democratizing Healthcare knowledge ...
"Medicine Grand Rounds: Democratizing Knowledge to Reduce Disparities in Healthcare – Project ECHO" ... right up WUaS's online avenue . . Not making video rounds
examining unique symptoms and diagnosing them on the fly ... was SO
great ... I'll email him since he gave me my card ... and Stanford's Dr Charles Prober, who focuses on these questions, and who
gave me his card too!!!!!!
Would be great if the WUaS online bookstore planned first
in 358 languages with Wikisource's Creative Common's commercial
licensing for the database could emerge out if both Quaker EarthLight
bookstore and Stanford's ... and develop with IT into all of Wikipedia's
358 languages then into all 7,099 living languages.
How are you?
L,
Scott

Stanford Medical Bookstore that is :) ... and in all countries' official
lAnguages at WUaS's online medical schools and teaching hospitals :)

Dear Paula,
Thanks for your great Stanford talk just now - "Paula Matthusen: Sounds in Remembered Spaces and before" - https://events.stanford.edu/events/702/70213/ - and great to talk afterward.
More about the planned wiki Music School at World University and School here - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/876902749035573248 (planned for all instruments +, each a wiki subject page for open teaching and learning, in all 7,099 living languages) - and beginning Music Composition, and Computer Music wiki subject pages as well (before WUaS moves to a new wiki emerging from Wikidata / Mediawiki (Wikipedia's database and front end in 358 languages). Wiki CC WUaS is like CC Wikipedia with CC MIT OCW (in 7 languages).
In what ways will be able to create new musical pieces re your talk, pieces and "Sounds in Remembered Spaces and before" I wonder?
Thank you, and nice to meet you - and let's stay in touch!
Best regards,
Scott

Hi Gregory,
Thanks for your email, and sounds great. As prospective WUaS Corporation Board member (with the finance portfolio), one question I've been thinking about in the big picture is how to generate 11.5% annual returns in perpetuity with all 10 planned for-profit revenue streams (currently) in each of all ~200 countries and indeed in each of all 7,099 living languages in Ethnologue (8,444 entries in languages in Glottolog), each an academic market. And how best too to anticipate going public in each of all ~200 countries' official languages (i.e. be listed and traded on their stock markets) ... while developing with bit coin and the blockchain and planning for helping develop an universal basic income with related taxation country by country. Conceptually this could all develop with Quickbooks/Turbotax/Intuit Multi-store in all of their languages, as well as Wikidata (Wikipedia's database in 358 languages) and related databases - and with WUaS law school and computer science students writing this code, in each country's language. You could add potentially enormous value in helping to develop the financial language for this step by step. The potential WUaS shares for this, especially once we get financially operational, would be significant.
Thanks and looking forward to talking further about this!
Great! - Google Sites is redesigned ... and it's within the Google ecosystem ... and it's free (for some educational organizations that have Google Education, and WUaS does) :) ... (but ... see caveats at bottom) ...
Learn how to use the new and much improved Google Sites service to easily create great-looking websites. The new Google Sites is not yet available to the general public, but you may be able to access it if you have a Google Apps for Education account from your school. Businesses may also have access to it through the Google Apps for Work option. This video shows you all the ins and outs of using the new Google Sites!
"The new Google Sites is not yet available to the general public, but you may be able to access it if you have a Google Apps for Education account from your school ..."
*!!!
Looks like Google Sites got re-vamped last November, that it’s free, and that it may even be workable for setting up a business (which is great, since it’s developing within the Google Ecosystem … re Google Neural Machine Translation, TensorFlow, Android) … and it’s simple …
BUT ...
Google Sites works with the two most recent desktop versions of the following browsers:
Chrome
Firefox
... and the business/rest of world is still much on Windows/Internet Explorer (possibly ~75%?), I would guess ...
*!!!
And another limitation re World University and School, which plans to be in all countries' official and main languages ... and work in ALL browsers, where I think that almost all browsers have been designed to serve web pages ending in .htm and .html ... the limitation that Google Sites does NOT serve web pages that end with these .htm and .html suffixes anymore would lead to WUaS NOT using Google Sites ... see ...
No longer serves .html/.htm Web pages, like Google Pages did. All static HTML Web pages previously hosted on Google Pages can be migrated to Google Sites, but users later attempting to access them, as well as Portable Document Format (PDF) or other migrated files, must download those files in order to view them.
*
WUaS will probably not go with Google Sites until it serves web pages with .htm and .html suffixes, for example, since ALL browsers read these, and WUaS seeks to be particularly accessible in all ~200 countries and in all 7,099 languages and especially online in Africa, for example.
But, on the other hand, it may be worth experimenting with after all ... (and .htm and .html web suffixes may eventually develop in Google Sites, and/or CC MIT OCW-centric WUaS students in the developing world, for example, may be able to easily get Chrome ... ) ... but probably, in terms of priorities and given its limitations, after the WUaS Corp next steps occur in the upcoming months.
*
Still in the thinking phase here, S ... re free universal CC MIT OCW-centric education in all countries' languages - and a bookstore - and which information technologies ... and whom to code this further ..... very nice to talk with you ...

Interpreting this as a kind of hippy approach to being adventurous underway on the road (given the photo) ... and I also see this as Steve Job's thinking for high-achieving Stanford graduates a few decades after the 1970s - as Apple Computer's founder, and coming out of the 1960s and 1970s and Reed College - and as encouraging taking risks in career paths ... a few decades after the 1970s, when times have changed ...

How can World University and School engage Stanfordians and its graduates to help grow WUaS with Steve Jobs and Apple's technological creativity and design and re Jobs' Stanford Commencement speech ... ?

California Supreme Court justice urges reflection, public service at Commencement
It's commencement day at Stanford - so it's busy with everybody graduating ...

Hi M,
Greetings on a hot day from Stanford. How is the weather where you are and how are you?
Glad I'm inside today in air conditioning ... Glad too to have met with my friend S here at Stanford (who may help to develop the online WUaS bookstore) ... Seeking today to build a WUaS Corp Board ...
Dad was a risk taker ... and I'm not sure what he would have said about Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address, which you'll find here (and which is worth re-watching if you have seen it already) - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/06/rainbow-springs-river-florida-stay.html - where Steve concludes by saying "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish" but I think Dad would have loved this, and would agree ...
