The Times of India -

Doctors can now prescribe certain drugs used in psychiatry through video-consultation 

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/75110587.cms

(I think I'd prefer a FDA approved approach here, and even talk therapy, - but interesting)

And here's an article in German, from "Stern" but about the historic peace churches too -

Mennonites, Quakers, Baptists - how well do you know Christianity?

(Translated from German - and the article is a video)

very nice version of St. John's Passion by JS Bach ...



Kim Stafford on Haiku in the Columbia River Gorge
"Oregon Poet Laureate Kim Stafford on Haiku"
https://youtu.be/c3uJ_MEqPAQ

And Kim Stafford was a conscientious objector in the 1970s (as was I in a way), and in the Church of the Brethren interview - https://youtu.be/0GEEkan_uRk (Brethren Community Television) - he describes himself as a 'wild child' in the '60s and '70s, at about the 12 minute mark - which I take as a reference to being a hippy. Good to hear.

I think it was in an Oregonian newspaper article from yesterday even that I learned of Kim Stafford, but I can't find it now. And this "Poems for the Pandemic"  - https://projects.oregonlive.com/kim-stafford/ - isn't it, albeit it's interesting that Kim Stafford is writing Coronavirus pandemic poems, and in the Oregonian. Am appreciating too the image of a poet I'm seeing and hearing, - as well as learning of a kind of pacifist alternative progressive western history of him and his father. I don't hear this history all that much these days.


And here's an interesting talk by his father, also a Lewis & Clark Professor in Portland, OR -


Both father and son seek to make writing poetry accessible, and not formidable! Great :)

Some interesting articles regarding some of what we've communicated about:

PREPARING FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL
How COVID-19 is affecting medical school admissions

And here's an article from 'The Stern' ('The Star') in German, - and about the historic peace churches too -

And re tourism and great apes (both of which I have scholarly interests in) -


And here's a Covid-19 dashboard - https://sites.google.com/view/covid19-dashboard/ and from Google and Wikipedia (in ~300 languages)! And could this become the bases for avatar bot electronic medical records for all 7.5 billion people (and re my World University and School's online medical schools and teaching hospitals in all ~200 countries, and in all 7,117 living languages!!!)? ... You at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University ... Have you seen that Google and Apple are talking about developing an App for contact-tracing? These are huge generally progressive companies, I'd say ... It could be amazing to help all 7.5 billion people with online electronic medical records.



I have much to learn from Connor Sinclair in now 4 videos of my lessons. Am very glad to have this
resource, and I updated the tune list for my upcoming "Honey in the Bag" album last night - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/western-honey-bee-re-my-upcoming-honey.html -- as well. :)

What are you up to for this Sunday? Have you been out for a walk yet?

Sending love this Easter, Scott
