Notes

Mei Lin - caught a Bonita (only 12 inches) so threw back.  Then Mexican Cabrillo fish spot (Calico Bass) - caught 3.  Difficult to take on 'the fight' with Yellowtail Tuna - psychologically.


Jonathan:  Finished the video that some of us saw - up on LinkedIn.  Can put on F4H website.  Finished last week.  Now talking with Mei Lin and Sean about the business case for the Omega Project.  Don't know about China - would be next week if going.  Really pertinent questions from Tsing Tao. Alex was in Tsing Dao - sent questions in Chinese, Jonathan used google to translate.  Thinking China is working on an Omega system already, which Alex had said already.  Was on the radio last week for a thing called Sea Change (60 different channels all over country - can send link).  Also invited via ministry of South Australia to do a workshop down there.  Started a Facebook site:  OMEGA-Project-Earth (https://www.facebook.com/pages/OMEGA-Project-Earth/316730271838680) (this isn't the video Jonathan is talking about - that is on Vimeo with password 'Omega')

Invitation to this group:  Look at video and send back comments.


Jim Caldwell will be glad to review the Chinese

Mei Lin:  The business case ~ may reflect on kind of thing F4H can do for each other.  Jonathan and I had been in touch for several years, but these weekly calls have allowed me to dig in more and find out more, then able to connect him with people.  Last week connected with Taki Zervos who asked very specific questions from business aspects.  

Economics For Dummies: Sean Masaki Flynn - was able to introduce them and to Denise as well.  WIll follow up with an email intro redux.

How will expenses be met over the next 7, 10, 25, 50 yrs - how to get revenue from the products to sustain operations in the short medium and long run.  That is the economic model that Sean covers.

Confident that he has economics and finance background that can really help Jonathan.

Jonathan:  Spoke with friend in SF who is with the EPA, whose son works with the Chilean govt on economic models in marine industries. Now is the time to get smart economists around the table to work out the economics of OMEGA - algae products, water, aquaculture, energy - the cost of production vs the pricing possible

Denise- New client part of a TV network highlighting non profit organizations, very excited about this - paperwork underway to move forward on a couple of new shows - while in the middle of these negotiations  was in a cigar bar; another project with a nonprofit org that helps support war veterans.  Met some very powerful people in San Diego.  Met someone with money to invest. Marketing director in charge of $300 M fund Illumina - revenue $421 Million last year, works with Silicon Valley and around the world. Showed F4H team and flyer - . They can see Denise working with startup companies and take equity  in them to start their PR.  Can put her in touch with 10 companies to do that.  Just signed a contract with CleanTech in Silicon Valley.  Looking to invest in biotech and science and that sort of thing.

Jonathan - the roadblock is not the sequencing of genes:  Bottleneck is not the sequencing but what it means.

Kennan - most of Yamana folks are in the biological lifesciences- and seeing the breakdown - the healthcare industry use the tools - but we don't know what the conversation will be between science and biology and health - people who don't talk with each other. What is emerging strongly is to create an incubator that will help train scientists to open up and collaborate on working together on complex systems - that is the energy and direction for Yamana and why I am going to Minnesota

Denise - can you send me an email on Yamana - I will be reaching out to them today and will meet with Illumina tomorrow - would like to have them invest in Yamana

Jonathan - sign me up for beta testing

People in Australia are telling me I need some coaching before I go on TV in Australia

Denise - I will have to do a workshop on this in Silicon Valley and hopefully I will be up there every two weeks

Jim - I'm checking in - Green Energy Council is having conf 11/12-14/2014 in Tianjing and Hubei and Tsing Dao

Tianjing is on the Hubei Bay - which is where the Yellow River comes to the ocean from the Yellow Sea. I am doing a workshop on eco cities in November - want to set up partnerships between China and US companies to do various projects. Then go back in the spring. Its huge and a bit overwhelming - might as well think big and try to do what we can. There are really great sponsors (Jim - please add names if ok to do so)

Denise - I clarified with Illumina guys, one was Mr Yang, the other 2 were Caucasian - that I did not want to deal with any blood money - that I do background checks - and on the up and up - as the PR director of the American Chinese CEO Society - I am very clear that whatever money - authors, books, real estate, Hollywood, science projects - I want to talk with Jim once I know what they are looking at - obviously ROI is what Illumina wants.


Jim - going to meeting on Affordable housing in the Bay Area - Sustainability aspects of that project - exciting - getting together the various sustainability indices, ISO 9000, LEED, GRI and so on.  Working with Green Community Center at CleanTech.  One of finalists for clean affordable housing project.  Idea is putting community leaders to work in helping with the build.  Bringing in community colleges and tech training groups.


Mei Lin - Read an important report on Round Table for health;  Community development initiatives are now being seen as having very positive health outcomes.  Multistake holder gorups:  comm dev, affordable housing, green energy.  Ways in which they have currently as by-products of health increase population health.  Would be happy to send along this pre-publication report.  Walls Street, IRS and Federal Reserve are thinking of requiring banks to have community development projects.  If do loans and projects, have to reinvest in that community.  Entire project in Health HS in this area.  Because US investing considerable amount in health, a cost savings that will result.  A group of stakeholders put their money together and say 'we will do this' the Federal Govt will pay back the capital investment so they can do other projects if they accomplish goals.  Gearing up to do this.


Jim - Pay for Success program at the Federal Bank - various benefits like health, employment, crime reductions, etc - the key will be KPIs - key performance indicators so they can prove they did what they said they would.


Mei Lin - Evidence based medicine - IoM trying to get this into community health.  Sandy Bates and I had a wonderful talk with John Mattison of F4H also.

Institute for Population Health Informatics - PHII - Population Health Informatics Institute - making a whole community to use evidence based informatics based info.  What communities are trying to do what, what ppl are doing in trying to collect it.  Must be systematic in developing skill set on what communities want to have. Proposing long term national effort on evidence based health.  Financing on pop health - one day may have stock exchange for communities and investments in communities for great outcomes and a leader-board for other communities.  Effectively what China is doing already.  Thirlled to read IoM's Financing Population Health pre-circulation paper - happy to share with F4H who want to read it



Jim - there is a group called KPI library, wonderful resource. www.kpilibrary.com



Kennan - in my thinking which is developing in this area ; Bay Area Non profits - putting a lot of $'s in community development in Oakland - there are shortfalls in this approach - I am really keen because I see it as a powerful new entry in this area; David Snowden's non profit is a think tank - the power of micro narratives is a particular approach to go into a community - and have the answers emerge from the narratives - a specific dynamic about how to do it - to gather scientific foundation - this is an emergent answer to the need of "How to do assessment"


Elizabeth Miller has done a lot of work on assessment with Kennan - she is completing her PhD in this - has very cool insights into the next era of assessment -


Mei Lin:  Valerie Landau also!


Jonathan: Yesterday a conference call with someone from South Africa interested in an aquaponics industry.  He builds youth centers.  


Kennan - fabulous presentation on how to collaborate on complex problems, the input of thinking visually (but not narratively!) with http://conference.stiatemenos.com/stianow-summer-2014/conference-schedule/?eventid=3684; presented by Robert Gilman

There are no environmental problems

There are only environmental symptoms to human problems

Denise:  Electricity

Jonathan:  Patience and perseverance

Jim:  Inspiring
