We support experimental-aircraft development and applications for EMS, under-served-rural-communities, native-Americans, border-patrol, forestry-management, etc. (After initially incorporating in KY to form a single 501(c)(3), we dissolved that entity for a simplified form creating an entirely self-financed, private-philanthropy. A Vanguard National Trust account has been setup for making annual-grants for specific experimental-aviation-related projects in conjunction with the Experimental Aircraft Assoc. Foundation [EAA] in Oshkosh, WI.) and similar organizations.

September 16, 2023

I’ve been looking for a team-communication-software package to use for collaboration with others regarding my two Vanguard philanthropic areas of interest: 1) eVTOL applications in EMS, etc.; and 2) early dementia detection, proper diagnosis, and likely prognosis. Recent examples in ultralight-eVTOL applications include the following:

Previous projects I’ve financed demonstration projects in the Amazon, for the Navajo Nation here in the U.S., etc. that are all detailed under my new Archive tab that I was forced to add to my two websites. I had to set-up a new access procedure for all my many archived research papers. This new procedure was forced upon me after I was sued for “copyright-infringement” due to including text and an image copied from another freely-accessible website document with no copyright-claim regarding those images or the accompanying text, and was all fully-disclosed as to its origin article, along with the original complete, full-text that I always put in my very-extensive research achieves, as illustrated in the typical example below. (Note there is no image or other copyright claim included anywhere within this or the other reproduced articles, now stored under my Archive-tab.)

 

I had set up my two philanthropic-websites simply for sharing my own heavily-annotated collection of research materials, that I keep on my PC, wanting to be able to easily access them while out-of-the-office, without my PC and only having my iPhone or sometimes my iPad, and to be able to share them with others who might share similar interests. For example, there are already 8,430 of research-papers in just my healthcare-related website, plus thousands more in my EMS-experimental-aviation-related website.

 

After having to spend thousands-of-dollars in legal-fees defending myself against a copyright-infringement-lawsuit by copyright-trolls, I was forced to move all of my extensive personal research archive under a now password-protected tab and only display those explicitly saying that they fall under a Creative Commons Copyright (cc) or just contain exclusively my own work. [If you already have credentials then you can Login to review them, otherwise you need to Request Access from my web-site Administrator. I’m hoping that fixes the copyright-infringement-issue and avoids wasting any more of my philanthropic funds on frivolous copyright-troll-lawsuits from which we not-for-profit-organizations, such as my own two, are supposed not to be liable for.

 

Here is a perfect example. I’m looking at Slack and for similar alternatives for enhancing communications with those who share similar research-interests with me, going beyond just creating my two web sites and archiving my many daily research documents under those two websites. A good example being working with the fellow from whom I purchased an experimental-eVTOL for a donation to the S.D. Air & Space Museum, that is now just in the process of being finally completed.

 

Bacground I originally setup all this as a 501(c)3 incorporated in Covington, KY and purchased an office-condo, but later decided to convert it into a simpler private philanthropic Vanguard Trust to avoid all the accounting requirements and endless hassles with the Federal Government on obtaining my Federal tax-exempt-status, which I finally gave-up-on after endless meetings with them in Cincinnati and thousands-of-pages of documentation as to what I was establishing.

 

Now 20+years-later and with today’s much-simpler LLC-options and remote-work-possibilities now available, which were not then available when I first started this effort, I still have my office-condo here in Covington, KY. It was originally set-up to work closely with the then newly-formed U. of Cincinnati Genome Research Institute, [my C8 Z-51 Corvette’s license-plate is still ‘GENOME,’] from back when I originally setup my 501(c)3 here in KY. That great new research facility had 365,00 ft.² of state-of the-art research lab space. I now still spend 60% of my time working on all this from here in Covington and 40% back at my new condo in the Bird Rock community of La Jolla, CA, where I now spend the winters.

 

Now that I have the ability to work from anywhere; here, there, or anywhere in between, such as my recent multi-day visit to Rotor-X in Chandler, AZ, previous Moog project here at Lunken Airport and the current major-project with the RYSE-Recon folks up in Mason, OH. While recently looking for additional eVTOL-based, EMS-related options here in the Cincinnati/Covington area, I was still able to attend the recent virtual conference at my favorite Scripps FrontRow lecture-series in La Jolla, that I often can attend in-person, but this time attended it virtually.

 

I’m considering moving full-time to La Jolla and using such virtual-meetings instead of working out of Covington, KY for most of the year and traveling all over the U.S. researching these various eVTOL options, plus my dementia-research-related work. [I originally developed my odd-documentation-annotation-methodology for my own keyword-and-phrase retrieval-search-system, that I developed 20+years-ago, long before the advent of Google-search and ChatGPT, that have now totally-replaced the need for it. (Now it’s just a very-hard-old-habit to break!)

 

Here is a perfect example of what I had been doing for the past 23-years in collecting and annotating my own copies of research documents for addition to my personal research-archives on my Dell office PC. This following example should also likely now be placed under my new Archive-tab, but I’ll risk using it in this open-tab on my website as an example of my old, odd, annotation method for keywords and phrases, using an inverted-file-structure, just to give you an idea of what I previously was doing with each of those many old documents. (Now I must try to break that old habit of just doing it automatically! After all these two-plus-decades of doing it, it’s now a very-hard old-habit to now try to break at age-81! (See, I just can’t seem to resist continuing to do it!)

I’m currently looking for team-communication-software to add to this ongoing effort. In addition to previously establishing my two public-websites for easy-access for any team-members working on one of my projects, such as the ultralight-eVTOL for educational purposes, mentioned above. (See, did it again!) The following is exactly what all of those old archived-documents look like and just like the one I was sued about and had to settle out-of-court to avoid the costly litigation to prove I am indeed an exempt, not-for-profit, philanthropic-organization and have been for the past-23-years now since that old incorporation as a 501(c)3 that was abandoned in favor of a simpler, private, philanthropic Vanguard-Charitable fund form, which it is today. After my passing, it will automatically become a Vanguard Trust to carryon both of these interest areas, indefinitely into the future paying-out 5% annually to fund research in my two long-term interest areas.

28 Best Slack Alternatives & Competitors for Team Communication (You Cannot Live Without)

Slack describe themselves as “Team communication for the 21st century”. You would have definitely heard about Slack if not used it. It is one of the most popular online communication-platforms designed to improve communication among teams in all ways. It’s a platform that brings together the key benefits of all the other tools, with a reactive speed of instant-messaging and the ability to check-in-from-anywhere. This messaging-and-collaborative-software brings your professional communication in one place.

The best thing about this office chat-tool is how effortlessly it has replaced long and messy email-threads with its instant-messaging-features. Quite evidently, the nature of the business is changing rapidly, thus more-and-more companies and teams are looking for a single-tool with multiple-functionalities than the-other-way-round.

If you are also one of them and looking for a different office-chat-software other than [just] Slack, we have made a list of Slack-alternatives that are much-more-versatile and easier-to-use than Slack.

 

[Keywords and compound-keywords (tags) are highlighted-and-hyphenated in italic-and-bold; place-names, organizations and titles are in bold; media-names put in italic.  Instead of underlining, I’ve been experimenting with hyphenating entire phrases – long-tail-keywords. This odd style was being tried to enhance generative-AI processing and ease-of-spotting items-of-interest in my specific website-achieved documents.  Now experimenting with generative-AI to eliminate this time-consuming distraction.]
