Dear Matthew, (and Larry), 

Thanks for letting me know that for WUaS to integrate edX in WUaS G Suite for Education it will be $50,000, and that for unlimited courses it will be $349 / student per year. It seems like WUaS will be seeking full-time undergraduate students (at the top of their classes from all 200 countries, in part, - in addition to the creative students) interested in 4 years' degrees (re retention questions, and who might enjoy studying even more than a 'full load.' How might we best aim for 9/1/2021 for matriculating Bachelor and PhD students, such that I can continue to let World Universitians know in the future?
And how to begin to plan for the 4 WUaS prospective Ph.D. students, including Prasanth K, for example (with his interest in developing Tamil language WUaS in Tamil) and with his interest in majoring in Cognitive Science. What do you think? Would he even be able to apply to WUaS through MIT's Brain and Cognitive Science program? Would WUaS reach out to MIT for this program, as WUaS plans to code for applicants? (And it's Prasanth who also Tweeted about his suffering; am not sure about the significance of this re WUaS mental health planning for our students, but WUaS isn't quite 'there' yet to offer mental health services, although our online medical schools are planning online psychiatry in the online teaching hospitals! Might WUaS collaborate with MIT psychiatry or similar for our students in this WUaS PhD and Bachelor degrees' application process. What does edX do in these 'mentsl health' for students' regards?)
Am glad Anant Agarwal reached out to me recently in WhatsApp: 
Anant Agarwal communications with me in new WhatsApp App on 2/11/21 -
In a new 'Open for all' group there on Feb 11 2021, Prasanth K. shared with me the following -


"A Message from Anant Agarwal, edX Founder and CEO

@⁨Scott GK MacLeod⁩ my major problem is centralised network.
CEO and particular authority gives the instructions and commands like Anant for edX.

We need to create a peer-to-peer network for Education

A decentralised system, on the other hand, is one in which complex behaviour emerges through the work of lower level components operating on local information, *not the instructions of any commanding influence* . This form of control is known as *distributed control* , or control in which each component of the system is *equally responsible* for contributing to the global, complex behaviour by acting on local information in the appropriate manner. The lower level components are implicitly aware of these appropriate responses through mechanisms that are based on the component's interaction with the environment, including other components in that environment.

peer-to-peer like
denoting or relating to networks in which each computer can act as a server for the others, allowing shared access to files and peripherals without the need for a central server.


Scott:
 Dear Anant, thank you for your messages ... Perhaps something like this from Phil Windley 

"The true value of the self-sovereign internet is that it provides an leveragable, adaptable, usable, accessible, and stable platform upon which anyone can innovate." » The Generative Self-Sovereign Internet https://t.co/2atVn52yWy

— Phil Windley (@windley) January 21, 2021

https://twitter.com/windley/status/1352258760085917697?s=19 could come into conversation with your great thinking. How to build this into You at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - at this early stage of WUaS's wiki development and even anticipating or planning for all 7.8 billion people, could be a starting place to realize your thinking (and in Wikipedia's 300 languages via WUaS in WUaS OpenCura WikiBase Wikidata)?

Scott 
 Hoping they at edX are also focusing on student retention questions as they focus on quality ... Anant?

Prasanth
@⁨Scott GK MacLeod⁩ "Self Sovereign Internet"  What a words!!

Prasanth
 @⁨Scott GK MacLeod⁩  Share some words about Phil Windley and your experiences with him

Scott
I think he has a PhD in computer science from UC Davis and lives in Utah presently where he's been working on self sovereign internet idea and other CS theory for decades ... Only know of him from Twitter, - and also possibly regarding a single cryptocurrency since Phil Windley knows Drummond Reed, whom I met at Stanford, also working in the cryptocurrency space and related CS IDEAS in Redmond Washington (and who went to Harvard and may know Bill Gates too)"
Communications here too -https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/02/oceanic-dolphin.html


Matthew, (Anant, Ned, Larry), in this major edX-WUaS coding planning moment in WUaS G Suite for Education, in what ways might WUaS facilitate Anant's seeking a decentralized "peer-to-peer network for Education" for 7.8 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item # or spin # or similar - possibly along Phil Windley's lines of thinking (and even without passwordshttps://twitter.com/windley/status/1360349564067221505?s=19 - and for a number of other reasons, some relating to coding for WUaS getting grades from edX? 
And could I let World Universitians and especially prospective students know in the WUaS News and Agenda for this Saturday's open Monthly Business Meeting on 2/20/21 that prospective Bachelor (150?) and PhD degree students (4 currently at WUaS - through MIT depts.?, Others welcome) will be able to apply to matriculate online this autumn, and have approximately a year's worth of courses to choose from and study in their prospective majors? (I usually send this announcement out on the Thursday before, so 2/18/21 this week). I would like for WUaS to head in a professional direction re scheduling and planning for this too.
Following up on previous 2 emails' questions further below later. Thanks to Anant for getting in touch in WhatsApp especially. Thank you. 
Best regards, Scott

February 7, 2021
Dear Matthew, Marissa, Ned, Cameron at edX, All, 
I hope this email finds you well. Just following up on our recent conversation in videography. In anticipating WUaS Monthly Business Meeting in 2 weeks, and matriculating 150 undergraduate students potentially as early as May 1, but probably September 1, 2021, I'm writing to confirm that what you said is that WUaS would have to pay edX about $101,000 to interoperate our developing platform with edX's dashboard ($50,000), and $17,000 (or $350 per student per year) for each 50 students we matriculate, and get grades for, as we proceed with probably BPPE licensing and WASC accrediting. Is this accurate? Newly, WUaS is seeking to plan for 4 possible PhD students too (taking possibly 7 years to complete their PhDs in English; 2 from India possibly, 1 from Morocco, and 1 from Indonesia). 
And since WUaS doesn't yet have a relationship with MIT's departments, in what ways would it be possible for these prospective WUaS PhD students to apply directly through MIT Departments to matriculate at WUaS? This is something Larry Viehland and I and Prasanth talked about at last month's WUaS Monthly Business Meeting - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/alpine-lily.html, and also perhaps through MIT Admissions - (https://twitter.com/MITstudents/status/1349417230623272960?s=20 ? In process, in what ways might our WUAS matriculating students get access to MIT Medical for counseling even (see below)?
One of our high achieving prospective PhD students today wrote 
இந்த உலகத்துல யாரும் என் அளவுக்கு துன்பம் அனுபவித்திருக்க மாட்டார்கள் என நினைக்கிறேன்.
Translated from Tamil by
I don't think anyone in this world has suffered as much as I have.

https://twitter.com/Prasanth0Nature/status/1358499275680804864?s=20

So would it also be possible for our WUaS PhD students to get access to MIT Medical (https://twitter.com/MITmedical) or similar for counseling too?
And in terms of interoperating WUaS's developing platform with edX's dashboard, and Houcemeddine above (in Tunisia, who helped install WUaS in Wikibase Opencura - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/12/sat-dec-19-2020-wuas-minutes-for-open.html - and in WUaS planning for students in all ~200 countries, and wiki teachers and learners in all 7,117 known living languages, and indeed, brainstorming-wise, wiki teachers and learners among all 7.8 billion people on the planet, for free universal people-to-people education), could Houcemeddine and perhaps Ned somehow work together to develop an interface between the edX dashboard, the emerging WUaS platform, partly WUaS Wikibase Opencura-centric, and in WUaS's G Suite for Education too, which WUaS has been in for years, and which also provides access to the Google Ecosystem including Translate and TensorFlow too? 
I think Prasanth as a matriculating student would welcome an opportunity for counseling, given the statement above (since I think life can be really hard in India, despite it's remarkable tolerance, and diversity and many languages and cultures). 
Thank you.

Dear Matthew,
I hope this finds you well.
Thank you for the clarification. HOW would the integration with Google's WUaS' G Suite for Education work with edX for grades etc., with our WUaS plans to build out in WUaS Opencura WikiBase/Wikidata's 300 languages, and for matriculating Universitian students and WUaS wiki editors in all 200 countries, conceptually here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - (and in planning for WUaS wiki teachers and learners in all 7117 known living languages) ? 
And would you be able please to include Larry Viehland in our communications each time, since he's chair of the Board at World University and School? Viehland@chatham.edu is his email address. Thanks. 
WUaS is still seeking funding. So is WUaS and edX still talking about ~ $17,000 per 50 students per year? And what please would be the next steps and costs to sign the edX-WUaS partnership agreement? (And would you please lay all of these out in writing)? Also, from you edX perspective, could WUaS matriculate 150 undergraduate students (and potentially at least 4 PhD students working toward their Master's degrees) September 1, taking engaging edX courseware which helps with studnet retention, in 29 majors (licensable be BPPE and accredit-able by WASC), for a first year out of 4 years' college?
Thank you,Scott
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation

PSHere are some ideas for where WUaS would like to head with a single science subject from our WUaS CC-4 MIT OCW-centricity (for reimbursement reasons from countries) to edX and beyond, first in English then in other languages with machine translation (some of which will happen in a realistic virtual earth in the Google ecosystem too) ...

Thanks for your LinkedIn social media message - re WUaS?

Hi Nancy, https://www.devex.com/people/nancy-o-704802 ... 
Thanks for your L.I. message. I didn't know about the SA online posting, and sorry to hear about Mr. Cavaliers' passing. Do you have a link, by any chance? I've been attending a few Shady Side Academy online events recently.  ... 

Hi Scott -

I learned about your great work when I read the post about you in SA online after getting the news of Mr. Cavaliers passing last month.

I graduated Sewickley Academy in 1978 + would love to connect + talk when convenient.

Thank you.

Until then, be well.

Oh boy, that's embarrassing and thanks for clarifying. When I ran Earth Twine, part of my goal was to do a similar thing to what you are doing at World University and School, more along the lines of job training. So I am very interested in learning more and hopefully can contribute a good thought or two based on my work.
Very good to be connected and I look forward to attending on Monday.
Thanks again,

Great, talk to you then, Nancy. 

Besides being CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric (in its 4 languages) for free-to-students' online accrediting and licensing degrees (Bach., PhD, Law, MD, and IB) first in English, World University and School is also a wiki, and planning wiki-schools for open teaching and learning in all 7117 known living languages; here's a main Subjects' area of focus - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - not yet in non-English languages. 
Here are two resources related to your Earth Twine interests - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Career_counseling and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Finding_/_creating_a_job_you_really_love - without much MIT OCW yet, and with much creative potential. The wiki is still in development, and will emerge with a Wikidata 'back end' in Wikipedia's 300 languages. 
Looking forward to meeting on Monday!
Thanks, Scott

Thanks very much, I will go through everything before Monday, look forward to doing so!

Iain McGilchrist and John Cleese 

I had some Zoom chats recently with Dr. Iain McGilchrist, who wrote the most interesting book I have ever read. I think some of my twits might enjoy them. Here’s the first. For the full clip, click here:https://t.co/v8innwUcmW pic.twitter.com/54i5b6CySa

... Talking about Creativity and John Cleese's new book too.
Both are brilliant, Iain is on the Isle of Skye interestingly.
Their talk made me think of creative Angela Farmer's Yoga course happening now for 4 Sundays, which I'm taking. Not as good as in person, traveling to Greece for example, and hanging out before And after with a kind of group of hippies from all over, but still good.
How are you? What are you up to? What are you exploring creatively? (Daily blogging and music-making continue to be creative explorations here:)

Are you walking any new untrodden paths chez toi? :)
Love, Scott This aging reversal genetic engineering with creams, syringes, capsules, intranasal sprays is really a path untrodden :) ... and especially in a realistic virtual earth for genetics - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click ... with a Film-to-3D App ... https://twitter.com/hashtag/FilmTo3D?src=hashtag_click ...

George @geochurch, Magda @ZernickaGoetz, Jay @JShendure - and tomorrow's is about recording embryos as they develop ~ https://www.allen-lineage.org/portfolio-item.html !!! 
Could such recordings be used for avatar bot electronic medical records, and for gene editing too of embryos (to edit out life-threatening genetic diseases even? ) ... and even film-to-3D into something like Google Poly (library of 3D objects, which is closing) and at the cell and molecular levels too? 
Path untrodden :)

How best to hire great people initially who will define World Univ & Sch, and in terms of Directors and first Project Managers - re this Hi-Ring email that just came through from the MIT Tech Review - 

MIT Tech Review - "Auditors are testing hiring algorithms for bias, but there's no easy fix" 

https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/02/11/1017955/auditors-testing-ai-hiring-algorithms-bias-big-questions-remain

Yale, Stanford, Harvard, Princeton? Cambridge Univ and with its ancient Christian, so regarding caring, roots, even - and with Information Technology online moment opportunity ? There are a LOT of India, Africa and Asia heritage PhD graduates from these universities to hire from - and regarding too WUaS planning for all ~200 countries as major online universities - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - and in their main languages, for free-to-students' degrees, and as wiki schools for open teaching and learning! 

Am not clear that the rings - or networks of MIT - hi !!!, would be the place to grow from in these regards?

Walking Path Untrodden

Jane MacLeodTue, Feb 9, 6:42 PM (5 days ago)to Carmen, Margaret, me

Beautiful snowy day. Love, Janie/Ma

Hi Ma, Carmen & Peg,
Just back from an evening walk in 55 degrees' weather, from where i'm living just north of Berkeley since 10/1/20, and 1.8 miles gradually uphill to the Unitarian Church (which is closed) - and back. 
I could conceivably move back into Canyon 94516 even in a few months (had moved out because I called the local police twice last summer to report some illegal break-ins and entries and thefts, and am staying in what I'll call a 'safe house' even. As a whistle-blowing about ethical wrongdoing a number of times over the past few years, I'm traveling a road less trodden. I had lived there for about 12 years, and it's beautiful but had scary aspects to its culture, and ethically, and which may be getting cleaned up too now in the Covid-19 pandemic, and possibly by federal authorities even ... 
I hope this finds you well and finding ways to walk the paths untrodden in beautiful area in your lives :) How are you?
Fond regards, Scotthttp://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethics?m=0

Missing Cuttyhunk, as well as good ethics 'in the air' culturally (which I think churches even help to generate) and as an anthropologist too of Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs which is itself a church, Heart Consciousness Church (HCC), and unaffiliated, and an unique California emergence ... both my academic projects and it are traveling paths untrodden too ... Thinking about you and John with regards to the Cuttyhunk Methodist Church and your lovely music there too :)

Hi Ma, Peg & Carmen,
I hope you're staying warm this winter. 
Clearing a path less trodden - perhaps too with MIT OCW-centric wiki World University & School - ethically even, Minutes have been a main part of this 14 year long journey thanks to the WUaS Monthly Business Meeting too, loosely conducted in the manner of Friends / Quakers even. But WUaS hasn't cleared the way yet to financial operation (as you may have noticed in the financial reports monthly). Can this be a next clearing of the path less trodden? Am hoping so 
Hoping this finds you well ️
Fond regards, Scott

Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org>12:39 PM (1 hour ago)to Larry, Iulian, FelicianDear Felician Stancioiu (in Brussels or Bucharest, Romania), 
Thank you very much for your email. If you would like to join the WUaS Monthly Business Meeting this Saturday, Feb. 20, 2021 at 9am Pacific Time, which is open and hour-long, we could talk further. Here is the Google Meet video conference link - meet.google.com/jnb-wgpq-gev (conducted loosely in the manner of Quakers / Friends). (Larry is the Chair of the Board of WUaS's both wings, and Julian in Romania is the named CEO of the WUaS Corporation, not yet financially operational).
At present 'topical solutions for joint pathologies' is not a direction the WUaS Press bookstore is seeking to head in, but WUaS may seek to generate pharmaceuticals as Hospital Technologies with time, and even regarding aging reversal genetic engineering pharmaceuticals. Perhaps your patent, and topical solutions, with your STEM cell + scientific interests, could become the focus for this regarding drug delivery vectors further. 
See, for example, Harvard and MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church "How soon could humans reverse the aging process with genetic engineering?"

WUaS is also seeking to develop clinical trials online with speakers of all 7117 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) 
Thank you again for your email. I will also add your email to World Univ & Sch's emailings for our open monthly business meetings. WUaS also holds an open WUaS News and Q&A at 10 am Pacific Time on Mondays, to which you are welcome, if this might be a better time for you, and if you'd like to communicate further. Thank you.

Some correspondence about your inquiry:
Dear Larry, 
Interesting inquiry in new LinqBio social media, the Global Bio-Medical Network, from Felician Stancioiu - 
https://app.linqbio.com/member?member=5f5417c7-40a9-48f8-ac67-99bad6eecc5a

Dear Prof Scott GK MacLeod, Recently I was granted a US patent – Nr. 10,543,242 - for making a topical solution containing a DMSO extract of a few plants (Geranium robertianum, Ribes nigrum, etc) which has excellent results on many patients with joint problems (arthritis, arthrosis, strains, sprains, lumbar or cervical pain, etc), and I am looking for a company in US to develop it.


(DMSO is a prescription medicine and dietary supplement. It can be taken by mouth, applied to the skin (used topically), or injected into the veins (used intravenously or by IV). DMSO is taken by mouth, used topically, or given intravenously for the management of amyloidosis and related symptoms.Sep 17, 2019Drug class: Solvent in chemical reactions

Short description of expertize
stem cells, mesenchimal, umbilical cord blood

While it looks like this patent isn't related to brain research, STEM Cells, or genetics, per his message, it could provide an opening for his patent for the WUaS Press / Corporation / Pharmaceuticals/Hospital Technologies, through him, to develop it in the US.
Could WUaS even eventually develop an anti-aging vaccine via genetic engineering in one way or another, re #WUaSAgingReversal - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/02/yukon.html - and another product beyond our books and carrying Lego Robotics' kits?
Let's talk further about this. 
Sincerely, Scott



Dear Felician Stancioiu, 

Thank you for your message in LinqBio social media, the Global Bio-Medical Network - https://app.linqbio.com/member?member=5f5417c7-40a9-48f8-ac67-99bad6eecc5a. Congratulations on receiving this US Patent for DMSO especially! And thank you for your inquiry.  Do you have the financial resources and expertise to develop this through the startup legal entity, WUaS Corporation, which is not yet financially operationally? WUaS is 2 legal entities in the state of California, 1) a for profit general stock company, and 2) a non-profit, and in the USA, at the federal level, WUaS is also a 501 c 3 non-profit organization: see, at bottom, for 1) non-profit World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - and 2) for profit WUaS Corporation - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html.
While it looks like your patent isn't related to neurology / brain research, STEM Cells, or genetics, per profile, the patent could provide an opening for your patent for the WUaS Corporation's plans for developing Hospital Technologies, - if you were pretty much solely able to develop this, first in the US.
Could WUaS Corporation even eventually develop an anti-aging vaccine via genetic engineering in one way or another, re #WUaSAgingReversal - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/02/yukon.html - and as another product beyond our books and Lego Robotics' kits? This is where WUaS is seeking to head. 
WUaS is also planning online Clinical Trials in all 200 countries and for speakers of all 7117 known living languages, regarding your - http://bio-forum.net/clinical-trials - and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) - (accessible from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects). 
What, please, is your email? Mine is sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org. Please email me further if you would like to communicate about this. 
Thank you. Scott

 A Message from Anant Agarwal, edX Founder and CEO
@⁨Scott GK MacLeod⁩ my major problem is centralised network.CEO and particular authority gives the instructions and commands like Anant for edX.
We need to create a peer-to-peer network for Education

A decentralised system, on the other hand, is one in which complex behaviour emerges through the work of lower level components operating on local information, *not the instructions of any commanding influence* . This form of control is known as *distributed control* , or control in which each component of the system is *equally responsible* for contributing to the global, complex behaviour by acting on local information in the appropriate manner. The lower level components are implicitly aware of these appropriate responses through mechanisms that are based on the component's interaction with the environment, including other components in that environment.


peer-to-peer like denoting or relating to networks in which each computer can act as a server for the others, allowing shared access to files and peripherals without the need for a central server.



Scott: 
 Dear Anant, thank you for your messages ... Perhaps something like this from Phil Windley https://twitter.com/windley/status/1352258760085917697?s=19 could come into conversation with your great thinking. How to build this into You at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - at this early stage of WUaS's wiki development and even anticipating or planning for all 7.8 billion people, could be a starting place to realize your thinking (and in Wikipedia's 300 languages via WUaS in WUaS OpenCura WikiBase Wikidata

 Hoping they at edX are also focusing on student retention questions as they focus on quality ... Anant?


@⁨Scott GK MacLeod⁩ "Self Sovereign Internet"  What a words!!


 @⁨Scott GK MacLeod⁩  Share some words about Phil Windley and your experiences with him

I think he has a PhD in computer science from UC Davis and lives in Utah presently where he's been working on self sovereign internet idea and other CS theory for decades ... Only know of him from Twitter, - and also possibly regarding a single cryptocurrency since Phil Windley knows Drummond Reed, whom I met at Stanford, also working in the cryptocurrency space and related CS IDEAS in Redmond Washington (and who went to Harvard and may know Bill Gates too)



 Distributed internet are other amazing words. And Manuel Castells has explored societal & economic implications of this more remarkably than anyone http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/people/Castells/castells-con0.html I teach ...


I teach a course, Castells' inspired on the Network Society, Information Technology, and the Global University http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html and may do so at WUAS this autumn for credit. May include Windley's thinking toward end of my course anew !

It's about social networks which process and manage information and are using micro-electronic based technologies.

Federalism, like in the USA, but regarding all 200 countries, and in a realistic virtual earth for nation states and people, all 7.8 billion

Hi Ma, 

Gave a pretty good piping lesson ... and good to talk to you beforehand ... Am finding my way with Piobaireachd and new repertoire with Taylor ... Would like to be more 'masterful' ... but good to explore  too ... We'll have a lesson next week, he's moving to Georgia the following week so no lesson, then we'll start in again at 6pm PT the week after ... Good to keep the lessons going ...
The US Capitol Siege on January 6, 2021?
All staged huh? That's dramatic ... I had wondered whether someone or parties were getting good film footage, (to pay the legal bills) ... but if it had spun out of control ... I guess if it was ALL staged there were contingency plans ... so law enforcement was 'in on it'? ... Partly in the name of defense planning too re federal governance questions? Could be ... New law generator too ??? The ' Incitement to insurrection' charge could generate new law applicable to US states too! ... 
Could this even affect a new kind of Federalism (US inspired?) for all ~200 countries that might emerge further with internet developments? What do you think? What roles could law and psychiatry come to play? What would a world constitution look like in these regards? Would it emerge our of the UN 's history, with lots to learn from? What role could the Web play? 
Time for a salad. Good to learn too from Angela ️ in her Yoga course I downloaded. She didn't teach with Victor this first Sunday. And it's a good first class - like being in a class with her and different from their other publications. She couldn't see the people in the class who were live last week - good too to learn, but less interactive and fun than going to a course of theirs in Greece or Oregon for ex. Still seeking a vision of ethics coming from Victor (which could be problematic with potential history) ... And am concerned what roles law and psychiatry could play on Lesvos Greece and with him and issues there ... In a new federalist system even ... To be seen ... Glad to be viewing Angela's video from Sunday ... 10 minutes yesterday 15 minutes today ... In the middle of this covid-19 pandemic (staged too?) 
With all those islands and it's history of democracy, Greece is a fascinating precedent for a kind of Federalism today ...

"Federalism is a system of government in which the same territory is controlled by two levels of government. ... Both the national government and the smaller political subdivisions have the power to make laws and both have a certain level of autonomy from each other."

Hello my wonderful Mother


Where I wonder is my wonderful wife, a MD, FUN, someone I can trust (due to ethics?), attractive (a George A word re Evolutionary Biology perhaps, and not necessarily ️ beautiful - culturally since this can be a limitation in seeking friend, yielding no fruit, ... Yet Possibly blond like A & S, past mutual loves), Possibly a Scot or of Scottish heritage, and re Wilson McLeod, Univ of Edinburgh professor of Scottish Gaelic, American, Haverford (so presumably with some Quaker background) and Harvard Law graduate  ... https://twitter.com/WilsonMcLeod/status/1359571811256655879?s=19 ... Who married a German woman, and they have a child in Edinburgh ... And who's Twitter profile - read it - reads 'hard-bitten, recalcitrant, saturnine' ... Interesting personality traits ... read it ... but this photo shows Wilson less so ... https://twitter.com/LLCatEdinburgh/status/1356961755809927168?s=19 (BEYOND THE BOOKS the pic says) ... so a realistic virtual earth for everything including languages ...??? Too?
Am a wee bit unclear about what's next re Navin's 2 months' notice for living here ... Could he be talking with MM even these days? ... Might things be on schedule for me to move back into Canyon 94516, into a house there (relating to HHS re Pin, and the State Dept. re Pat & Tim, even) re a federal authorities intervention re criminality in Canyon? I wonder if I'll know more by the end of this month  ...
Appreciating Taylor's calmness, and that things are coming together for him with big move, house, baby on the way ... Piping lessons, his focus on learning music ...
  Love, Scott 


Some further ideas about Federalism.

Examples of Federalism in Different 
Countries
Federalism is a system of government with one, strong, central governing authority as well as smaller units, such as states. If the central government grows too strong, then federalism comes closer to a unitary state, where the governing body has supreme authority and dictates how much power the units are allowed to have.

Hi Janie and David, 

Methinks we couldn't prove this - with a #RealisticVirtualEarthForJournalism bringing together all the active web cameras installed and working since the 1990s, for realism, and into something like Google Street View with time slider, for reference - but there's a NBC article suggesting that the biathlon world cup - cross-country skiing and rifle shooting - was held last year and Stina Nilsson won it - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/02/sarek-national-park-sweden.html. This article has interesting language about Swedes being a cross-country ski and 'strong' country. Is this biathlon a Swedish identity issue / event and re preparation for defense as a nation state too ?
I put in the label both Unitarian Universalist and Nontheist Quakers re Identity questions, and also the 'identity' label. I also blogged here about a single realistic virtual earth re US federalism extended to all 200 countries and in their languages - idea. Hmmm ... On Google Smart TV a picture of the pyramids in Egypt shows up regularly in the stream of AI generated images (which Google Smart TV has chosen) ... and how to build or engineer something vis-a-vis the Web that last 5700 years or longer is a question that comes to mind with these amazing solid and long-lasting buildings, and re WUaS.

Music - bagpiping - Piobaireachd

Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@gmail.com>11:25 AM (10 hours ago)to TaylorTaylor, 

I enjoyed the Sandy Boys' tunes ... melody esp. ... interesting to explore further. And thanks for the resources. 
Enjoyed, too, the Light music in the Dysart and Dundonald album in general which you shared with its pipe band version of a 'mensural' or measured or with beat The Desperate Battle Piobaireachd...
Re mixolydian scales and bagpipe chanters, see below re pentatonic scales. Also the SSP A chanter with D major key sheet music, and the SSP D chanter with G major key sheet music, may be pragmatic ways of accurately noting and play these scales with sheet music, but they may not be theoretically correct ways of characterizing the 9 note mixolydian scale on the bagpipe chanter. 
Re Myxolydian scales and bagpipe chanters, see below re PENTATONIC scales.
Here again are some great helpful Desperate Battle of the Birds to learn further the Piobaireachd uniquely beautiful nonmensurality yet with pulses ... 'playing with waves'  (which may be my next book of poetry's title)

This recently popped up on Twitter:
The bagpipe plays three pentatonic major keys ...
https://twitter.com/BagpipeFacts/status/1358375687896387588?s=19


Seeking further to develop helpful language for understanding the music we play ... And how do Pentatonic scales relate to the Mixolydian scale of the 9 note GHB SSP bagpipe CHANTER? ... And in making music ... ?

And re Pentatonic scale and bagpipes ... From Tim Cummings ...https://bagpipe.news/2019/12/15/tim-cummings-tunes-in-a-pentatonic-major/


Re Pentatonic too ...What musical key does the bagpipe play in?
http://www.themacleods.net/qanda/skmqa019.htm

"Please note that the pentatonic mode is notes 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 (i.e., do, re, mi, so, la, do) in any major scale. Any and all these notes are prominent in many "Celtic" tunes.
The sharp-eyed, knowledgeable reader will note that there is a G# missing in some of these scales. Bagpipe staff notation contains only two sharps - if any at all are noted. The reason is that the tuning of High G is an issue in that the pitch doesn't quite conform to a convenient category in Western music. It's typically tuned higher and G and lower than G#. Seamus MacNeill (Classical Music of the Highland Bagpipe, 1968, BBC) suggests that the proper pitch of this note is intended to maximize the number of pentatonic modes that can be played on the instrument ..."http://www.themacleods.net/qanda/skmqa019.htm

See you next Thursday! :)

Hi Ian, 

See you in about 40 minutes, - and just so we're literally on the same page, here's the Desperate Battle from Book 7 of the Piobaireachd Society, and the last 3 double-pages from the College of Piping's Yellow Tutor Piobaireachd Vol. 4 (Rev Ed.)  ... with the Crunluath A Mach (and Glengarry's Lament for this), and Crunluath Fosgailte and Crunluath Breabach.

Looking forward too to checking out your Rules for Piobaireachd in some of these regards too ... 

Thank you, Scott

and eventually checking out light music too :) re

Piping lessons with Ian weekly pretty much starting in two weeks, if my finances improve? Would be good ... And another piping student? Would rather play in person to explore some things. And would rather also teach my society and information technology course and global university again this autumn when WUaS might have 150 undergraduate students :) and perhaps teach Yoga again ... All in a WUaS Yoga hall music lab Robotics' laboratory in part in Canyon? ;)

Ma,

Interesting too that Patti and Taylor for example have taken a number of trips in the last year ... Why haven't I traveled much I wonder? India in 2013-2014, Harbin weekly through 2015 or so ... With book published then ... Some trips north to Oregon, and PA too, since then... Could the mentally ill NG have something to do with it - and re past 20 years of unethical / harmful actions (how many murders even?)? ... 
And how to begin traveling again ? WUaS is gradually growing ... Maybe travel will be ahead with this ...? Peter Bothe in Bremen has interesting positive father energy (although he's not) .... but we're not in touch these days that much ... and I didn't travel somehow I'm communication with him ... And Larry hasn't facilitated travel for me ... And WUaS still isn't financially operational to begin to cover costs ... I think I'll have to begin traveling again on my own initiative ... 
How my wonderful mother to begin traveling again? A ladies' group question? (After house and wife, And together with my wife to be and solo too?) Tempus fugit ... Yet Desiderata too ...  https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html ...
Sending  love, Scott

Genes - family - SGKMacLeod family history

Hi Mark,

Thanks. Can't seem to add Francis Earnest MacLeod's hints and photos to my tree. It says try again repeatedly, which I've done before too. Seem to be blocked repeatedly from connecting with Uncle Franny with his Boston accent and just a few years at Harvard ... before he becomes an avatar bot such that we might even speak with him interactively about family history as this iterates and improves. Some similar issues with Benjamin Lincoln re software (re Benjamin Chadbourne misnomer) ...maybe a realistic virtual earth for history and genetics will aid in this veracity-seeking and coding in genealogy software! 
So cool to learn so much from it  as I do -and your explorations herein are so great and helpful ...thank you!

Thanks, Mark 
... Will check it out ... Was on a smartphone (not 'large' laptop screen) when doing this ... But I would rather facilitate a single realistic virtual earth for everything that would fix such problems in the truth-seeking interoperability .. and in a realistic virtual earth for genetics ... And for genealogy ... Would likely or like to get started however with this conceptually GREAT IMAGE - Swiss Army Knife mRNA - https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/02/05/1017366/messenger-rna-vaccines-covid-hiv/ since we're in the middle of the genetic engineering revolution, and re genealogy too. Will check out what you suggest first (since I was able to save Ernest James MacLeod's picture on smartphone, but then not Francis's in the same interface).

Jerry Gabay - Hugh Thomas introduction, some whistle-blowing

Hi Jerry, Hugh, Ma, Ed,
Following up on these photos of Hugh, Ed, myself, which I just shared - https://photos.app.goo.gl/6E8GUDW4W6f6aVBJ8  - and finding this Oregon Live newspaper article which surprised me. Are you by any chance still alive Jerry (am not sure you'd answer this anyway:)?
On the off chance that the reports of your death are greatly exaggerated - https://obits.oregonlive.com/obituaries/oregon/obituary.aspx?n=jerry-gabay&pid=195728424 - I'd like to introduce you, Hugh and Ed to one another. Hugh's a friend (see his photo again) from my high school years (in different high schools in Pittsburgh) who is now a Professor of Medieval History at the University of Miami (with a Yale BA and a Yale PhD) and whose father was the senior editor at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for decades, where his sister Lillian (with a Swarthmore BA, although not a Quaker I think), was its city desk editor, for decades too, but a year or two ago moved to Houston to become a deputy editor at the Houston Chronicle. Ed is a Kaiser Permanente physician MD, and friend (I played bagpipes at his wedding around the year 2000), who went to UC Santa Cruz as an undergraduate, and UCSF for his medical degree (after working as an acupuncturist for a few years between), and who went too to Lick Wilmerding high school (high achieving high school in SF), and is a SF native. Jerry Gabay, as I've written before is a lawyer, a member of the Society of Friends, I think, and a Stanford graduate from the early 1970s, I think, and has a University of Oregon Law degree but perhaps not immediately after Stanford I think too. Jerry, were you actually born in Turkey, and moved to Arizona even in your teens (contrary to article above), if I remember correctly? And Jerry's also a former Navy Seal, whose house is close to the Quaker Meeting in Portland, Oregon, and with whom I stayed for a couple of nights a few years ago, had a fantastic bicycle ride around Portland, and met some interesting friends of his on that visit as well. (I saw Jerry again 2-3 years ago when I was north visiting Reed, - and, at a meal, with Quaker Carl Thatcher,... who was also, like Ed, on the WUaS Board for awhile).

Hi Jerry, Hugh, Ma, Ed,

Following up on these photos of Hugh, Ed, myself, which I just shared - https://photos.app.goo.gl/6E8GUDW4W6f6aVBJ8  - and finding this Oregon Live newspaper article which surprised me. Are you by any chance still alive Jerry (am not sure you'd answer this anyway:)?
On the off chance that the reports of your death are greatly exaggerated - https://obits.oregonlive.com/obituaries/oregon/obituary.aspx?n=jerry-gabay&pid=195728424 - I'd like to introduce you, Hugh and Ed to one another. Hugh's a friend (see his photo again) from my high school years (in different high schools in Pittsburgh) who is now a Professor of Medieval History at the University of Miami (with a Yale BA and a Yale PhD) and whose father was the senior editor at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for decades, where his sister Lillian (with a Swarthmore BA, although not a Quaker I think), was its city desk editor, for decades too, but a year or two ago moved to Houston to become a deputy editor at the Houston Chronicle. Ed is a Kaiser Permanente physician MD, and friend (I played bagpipes at his wedding around the year 2000), who went to UC Santa Cruz as an undergraduate, and UCSF for his medical degree (after working as an acupuncturist for a few years between), and who went too to Lick Wilmerding high school (high achieving high school in SF), and is a SF native. Jerry Gabay, as I've written before is a lawyer, a member of the Society of Friends, I think, and a Stanford graduate from the early 1970s, I think, and has a University of Oregon Law degree but perhaps not immediately after Stanford I think too. Jerry, were you actually born in Turkey, and moved to Arizona even in your teens (contrary to article above), if I remember correctly? And Jerry's also a former Navy Seal, whose house is close to the Quaker Meeting in Portland, Oregon, and with whom I stayed for a couple of nights a few years ago, had a fantastic bicycle ride around Portland, and met some interesting friends of his on that visit as well. (I saw Jerry again 2-3 years ago when I was north visiting Reed, - and, at a meal, with Quaker Carl Thatcher,... who was also, like Ed, on the WUaS Board for awhile). Have you gone 'under the water,' metaphorically, Jerry, underground that is, and regarding the Internet media sphere surface - and could that Oregonian article be giving you 'cover' even? And could you be even looking into questions of the illegal sex trade and even atrociously with minors and kids in the Quaker Meeting in Portland, and even all along the west coast, from Seattle to SF (where I was a whistleblower in 2017 - how many others of us might there be?) to Santa Barbara to San Diego and to the east coast (internationally, possibly, even???) somehow, - and as a lawyer, a former Navy Seal, a Stanford graduate, and a Quaker (and perhaps not caught in the networks of people who could be even perpetrating such 'atrocities' - strong word, ... and is this all about 'criminal gangs' going through the throes of defeat regarding 'drying up source' post-Covid-19 ? ??) and so documenting and learning further about these potential illegal situations or cases (which could even go back as far as Joel Bean, a founder of Pacific Yearly Meeting in the 1930s or '40s, and from which PYM Yearly Meeting, the new-at-the-time North Pacific Yearly Meeting split from, around 1980, - and in which I think I participated in its first gathering while active in the Multnomah Monthly Meeting in Portland)?

Dear Hugh, Rob, and All, 
Thanks so much to Hugh for your email response re the following pictures - https://photos.app.goo.gl/6E8GUDW4W6f6aVBJ8 - and hi Jean, Ma, Lillian, Ed, Ann :) ...  
Good to be in communication too here, and re other recent emails, Hugh, (to Rob, you, and all, for ex.). 
Just added some comments to these photos - https://photos.app.goo.gl/6E8GUDW4W6f6aVBJ8  - and learned that Jerry Gabay seems to have passed away in 2020. Curiously, he was a navy seal, and I think this obituary may be somehow partly false, since it omits this information - https://obits.oregonlive.com/obituaries/oregon/obituary.aspx?n=jerry-gabay&pid=195728424 - although I only knew him very little, as a Quaker in Portland Oregon, and with Turkish background, in a Quaker Meeting there I was attending from 1979-1987 or some. (I worry a little about this passing, since it could have been, with his Turkish heritage especially - and his integrity too - racially motivated even somehow!). I've added the comments to the pictures below, and invite you too to add comments - another form of social media ! :) 
Some of these pictures are from Pittsburgh, with a good one of Hugh! Some are of Stanford, and one is of the ridge across Indian Valley where I lived in Canyon 94516 for 12 years until fairly recently (staying in a 'safe house' now, I'll call this, just north of Berkeley).
Please add comments, all, if so inclined, - as a new form of social media :)
Thanks again for your email, Hugh!
Regards, Scott

Dear Hugh, Ma, Jerry, Ed,

 

Some photos of you and related from 2014-2015 + 2021. Not sure who the person is, or what what the algorithm is, in Google Photo, that chose these - 

 

https://photos.app.goo.gl/6E8GUDW4W6f6aVBJ8 

 

Some are from Pittsburgh PA over Xmas, including the bench remembering my father in Mellon Park in Pgh. Others are from Portland, Oregon, I think (Jerry?). And others are from the SF Bay Area.

 

Fond regards, Scott

Ma, David, 

How could a single realistic virtual earth (think Google Street View with time slider) help us find out - so seek the truth of, or prove, or do information arbitrage - whether this Biathlon World Championship 2021 is happening in Sweden, or in Slovenia, during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, in Europe ... and even what is happening in the biathlon? 

Could it help journalists write better stories, and do better journalism, if, without, they might nab a photo here and a photo there off the web, and write stories that might not be totally accurate (eg reflecting last year's events?)? 

Could we combine all the existing web cameras all over that have been installed since the 1990s (since the first graphical user interface browsers started 1993 or so, leading to the massive development of the Web), I think, and may still be transmitting data ... and now into Google Street View with Time Slider, to help fill it out ... in addition to sending more Google cars & walkers around even to set up further web cameras too - and for surrounding web cameras for stadium like situations too, or archaeological digs through time (Troy, Çatalhöyük) ? 

And how to systematically fill in the gaps of missing web cameras, making societal decisions about privacy, surveillance and AI. The idea of a single realistic virtual Universe (which I'm heralding) - for tele-robotic surgery in space on the way to Mars in the 2030s, at the cellular and atomic levels, is such a MASSIVE DATA idea and project - filling supercomputers indefinitely into the eternal future with 1s and 0s, bits and bytes, and what comes after ... and creating and writing history too! ... but societies in all 200 countries have already made the decision to do this in a seed way since the 1970s, so it could be likely to continue, and lead to further orientation of societies around computers somehow .

.. And how would this unfold in a developing Realistic Virtual Harbin Hot Springs for actual-virtual ethnography, and not just in the 2020s, but how about planning for the 2120s .... where are the existing web cameras in California???? 

And what's the law, and what would be the academic research protocols re privacy of research subjects / informants for all of this are a whole set of other questions. (Is China leading the way in putting cameras across China - but possibly almost for a kind of repressive state, as I read this, but in what ways could one develop the installations of web cameras for a happy state or nation state, and democratic ones, and great-law abiding ones:)? And how does Pennsylvania do this differently already from Maryland for Scotland from California? 

All or much for learning purposes ... 

Fond regards, Scott

Stina Nilsson, Olympic champion cross-country skier, changes sportsBy OlympicTalkMar 23, 2020, 8:37 AM EDT

Hi Janie and David, 

Methinks we couldn't prove this - with a #RealisticVirtualEarthForJournalism bringing together all the active web cameras installed and working since the 1990s, for realism, and into something like Google Street View with time slider, for reference - but there's a NBC article suggesting that the biathlon world cup - cross-country skiing and rifle shooting - was held last year and Stina Nilsson won it - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/02/sarek-national-park-sweden.html. This article has interesting language about Swedes being a cross-country ski and 'strong' country. Is this biathlon a Swedish identity issue / event and re preparation for defense as a nation state too ?
I put in the label both Unitarian Universalist and Nontheist Quakers re Identity questions, and also the 'identity' label. I also blogged here about a single realistic virtual earth re US federalism extended to all 200 countries and in their languages - idea. Hmmm ... On Google Smart TV a picture of the pyramids in Egypt shows up regularly in the stream of AI generated images (which Googe Smart TV has chosen) ... and how to build or engineer something vis-a-vis the Web that last 5700 years or longer is a question that comes to mind with these amazing solid and long-lasting buildings, and re WUaS.

edX - WUaS developments

Dear Matthew,
I hope this finds you well.

Thank you for the clarification. HOW would the integration with Google's WUaS' G Suite for Education work with edX for grades etc., with our WUaS plans to build out in WUaS Opencura WikiBase/Wikidata's 300 languages, and for matriculating Universitian students and WUaS wiki editors in all 200 countries, conceptually here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - (and in planning for WUaS wiki teachers and learners in all 7117 known living languages) ? 

And would you be able please to include Larry Viehland in our communications each time, since he's chair of the Board at World University and School? Viehland@chatham.edu is his email address. Thanks. 
WUaS is still seeking funding. So is WUaS and edX still talking about ~ $17,000 per 50 students per year? And what please would be the next steps and costs to sign the edX-WUaS partnership agreement? (And would you please lay all of these out in writing)? Also, from you edX perspective, could WUaS matriculate 150 undergraduate students (and potentially at least 4 PhD students working toward their Master's degrees) September 1, taking engaging edX courseware which helps with student retention, in 29 majors (licensable be BPPE and accredit-able by WASC), for a first year out of 4 years' college?
Thank you,Scott
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation

PSHere are some ideas for where WUaS would like to head with a single science subject from our WUaS CC-4 MIT OCW-centricity (for reimbursement reasons from countries) to edX and beyond, first in English then in other languages with machine translation (some of which will happen in a realistic virtual earth in the Google ecosystem too) ...

 MIT's departments, in what ways would it be possible for these prospective WUaS PhD students to apply directly through MIT Departments to matriculate at WUaS?

Dear Matthew, Marissa, Ned, Cameron at edX, All, 

Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org>Feb 7, 2021, 2:48 PM (4 days ago)to Marissa, cameron.kaubris, Ned, Matthew, 4982103, Larry, abdelwahebDear Matthew, Marissa, Ned, Cameron at edX, All, 
I hope this email finds you well. Just following up on our recent conversation in videography. In anticipating WUaS Monthly Business Meeting in 2 weeks, and matriculating 150 undergraduate students potentially as early as May 1, but probably September 1, 2021, I'm writing to confirm that what you said is that WUaS would have to pay edX about $101,000 to interoperate our developing platform with edX's dashboard ($50,000), and $17,000 (or $350 per student per year) for each 50 students we matriculate, and get grades for, as we proceed with probably BPPE licensing and WASC accrediting. Is this accurate? Newly, WUaS is seeking to plan for 4 possible PhD students too (taking possibly 7 years to complete their PhDs in English; 2 from India possibly, 1 from Morocco, and 1 from Indonesia). 
And since WUaS doesn't yet have a relationship with MIT's departments, in what ways would it be possible for these prospective WUaS PhD students to apply directly through MIT Departments to matriculate at WUaS? This is something Larry Viehland and I and Prasanth talked about at last month's WUaS Monthly Business Meeting - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/alpine-lily.html, and also perhaps through MIT Admissions -

 (https://twitter.com/MITstudents/status/1349417230623272960?s=20 ? In process, in what ways might our WUAS matriculating students get access to MIT Medical for counseling even (see below)?
One of our high achieving prospective PhD students today wrote 
இந்த உலகத்துல யாரும் என் அளவுக்கு துன்பம் அனுபவித்திருக்க மாட்டார்கள் என நினைக்கிறேன்.
Translated from Tamil by
I don't think anyone in this world has suffered as much as I have.

https://twitter.com/Prasanth0Nature/status/1358499275680804864?s=20

So would it also be possible for our WUaS PhD students to get access to MIT Medical (https://twitter.com/MITmedical) or similar for counseling too?
And in terms of interoperating WUaS's developing platform with edX's dashboard, and Houcemeddine above (in Tunisia, who helped install WUaS in Wikibase Opencura - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/12/sat-dec-19-2020-wuas-minutes-for-open.html - and in WUaS planning for students in all ~200 countries, and wiki teachers and learners in all 7,117 known living languages, and indeed, brainstorming-wise, wiki teachers and learners among all 7.8 billion people on the planet, for free universal people-to-people education), could Houcemeddine and perhaps Ned somehow work together to develop an interface between the edX dashboard, the emerging WUaS platform, partly WUaS Wikibase Opencura-centric, and in WUaS's G Suite for Education too, which WUaS has been in for years, and which also provides access to the Google Ecosystem including Translate and TensorFlow too? 
I think Prasanth as a matriculating student would welcome an opportunity for counseling, given the statement above (since I think life can be really hard in India, despite it's remarkable tolerance, and diversity and many languages and cultures). 
Thank you.

'Federalism' & 200 countries and in their languages - at WUaS ?

US 'federalism' idea extended to 200 nation states, and in their languages? 

Hi Ma from the UU Church ... How was your day? Heard a Harvard Nobel laureate economist on Zoom - https://fsi.stanford.edu/events/quarter-century-‘-proper-scope-government’-theory-and-applications - today and a Federalism for all 200 countries' idea came up (had asked a question) ... Even re WUaS and a realistic virtual earth idea .... Just as talk was beginning, Jesus comes by with a very loud leaf blower outside, (so Stanford c/wouldn't turn on my mic easily ?) ... ...made me wonder whether everything's on schedule re Pin even and Navin and leaving 1749 at the end of March and even re a schedule of 'cleaning up' Canyon? ... First good piping lesson with Ian today after 11 years ... Inspiring learning conversation ... Good to connect too ... and I learned a lot! .with more to learn from the video recording :) .. what are you up to for rest of week:) pretty night now up on hill on bench ... Soon to walk 🏡 me 😌 :) Love Scott

WUaS - World University and SchoolWed, Feb 10, 11:15 AM (1 day ago)to nontheist-friendsHi silent Friends, NtFs, non-theist Friends, Nontheist Quakers, 
Blog post with this first email from Sunday - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/02/urho-kekkonen-national-park-finland.html ... and what do you think? And what do you think too of the "Save Salla" Finland by the way? A third correspondence in blog about WUaS developing relationship with edX ... 

Non-theist Friends (NtFs), friendly Quakers

Greetings, Nontheist Friends (NtFs), friendly Quakers, 

I hope this email finds you well. 
Glad to write that NtF inspired (in part) CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School is growing. WUaS is newly partnering with edX, and seeking 150 undergraduates to matriculate this autumn 2021 for free-to-students' online best STEAM CC-4 OCW-centric 4-year Bachelor degrees, first in English. WUaS also has four possible PhD students (7 years to completion?) and is seeking for these to apply and matriculate at WUaS through MIT Departments themselves. In doing this, WUaS is also seeking to develop online WUaS counseling and potentially through something like MIT Medical - and for our students from all ~200 countries, many with English as a second language, and from very different cultures than in the US or Anglophone countries, for example. 
On our WUaS wiki side, WUaS is seeking to build out wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,117 known living languages, and will blog about both of these developments today in a post with communication with edX and MIT > https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/MIT.

I think the Guilford College President's search is continuing, with more about this here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/cedrus-atlantica.html . Please contact Max Carter if you have a possible candidate in mind.

* Hi NtFs, Non-theist Friends/Quakers, 
Here's a blog post re NtFs as well as a realistic virtual earth for 'seeking the truth of' even - #WUaSseekTruthOf  .... https://twitter.com/hashtag/WUaSseekT... (with this #hashtag)
Did the Biathlon World Cup 2021 occur as the Web could be suggesting and in the middle of the Covid-19 Pandemic, which may be 'cleaning up' other issues, besides replicating genes causing flu like symptoms? Some ideas for this here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/20... - and throughout blog over the past year or so, as 'Hypothetical News' in some instances. 
How could we know if Biathlon World Cup 2021 is occurring?
Methinks we couldn't prove this - with a #RealisticVirtualEarthForJournalism bringing together all the active web cameras installed and working since the 1990s, for realism, and into something like Google Street View with time slider, for reference - but there's a NBC article suggesting that the biathlon world cup - cross-country skiing and rifle shooting - was held last year and Stina Nilsson won it - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/02/sarek-national-park-sweden.html. This article has interesting language about Swedes being a cross-country ski and 'strong' country. Is this biathlon a Swedish identity issue / event and re preparation for defense as a nation state too ?
I put in the label both Unitarian Universalist and Nontheist Quakers re Identity questions, and also the 'identity' label. I also blogged here about a single realistic virtual earth re US federalism extended to all 200 countries and in their languages - idea. Hmmm ... On Google Smart TV a picture of the pyramids in Egypt shows up regularly in the stream of AI generated images (which Googe Smart TV has chosen) ... and how to build or engineer something vis-a-vis the Web that last 5700 years or longer is a question that comes to mind with these amazing solid and long-lasting buildings, and re WUaS.
Thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions? 
Friendly greetings,Scott

Dear Fritz and Anthony, and Universitians: 

Thanks for joining the open WUaS News and Q&A, Fritz, (from Munich, Germany), and thanks for emailing afterward just now, Anthony (and for joining this open conversation a couple of times recently): 
"My apologies Scott for not being able to make it this evening.
With best wishesYours Anthony"
Here's the video from today - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B1Sfa6XVcrXvqfATZaebQjKcMgSCeW2t/view - and a related blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/02/bottle-tree.html ... Fritz is standing in his bathroom, I think ... and much about a realistic virtual Universe for space exploration, as well as a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs (my actual-virtual Ethnographic field site). Some too in the blog entry about the 'rad' 1970s, and online connecting and music making :)
Sincerely, Scott

Here's my actual-virtual Harbin field site ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~ :)
Am hopeful per today's conversation, that our WUaS matriculated students, our faculty members in all ~200 countries' official and main languages, and our wiki universitians in all 7,117 known living languages, will all be able to PUBLISH academic papers - and creative, teaching Youtube videos esp. on the wiki side :) WUaS WIKI is a self-publishing mecca! And hopefully WUaS will invent a new form of publishing from Google Street View with Time Slider, Text-in-the-Sidebar ... to paper, and with machine translation too! :)

High School Friends from Shady Side Academy in the 1970s in Pittsburgh, PA, the radical Allman Bros with Jerry Garcia in '73 at Cow Palace in SF

Hey Greg, Henry, Nancy, you g _ _ s, 

so great to see you last night, Henry and Greg - and thanks for joining us. Nancy, I thought I caught a hint of you behind Greg's curtain ... (in his virtual music studio :)
Thanks so much for organizing and hosting this too Henry!
Am pretty much into caffeine and music these days as my 'uppers' ... and they're nice ... green tea, coffee, and Allman Bros ' 73 - AAAhttps://youtu.be/DNAmXz8kc6I - and the Dead - https://archive.org/search.php?query=Grateful%20Dead%201977 - and some Blues ... You? Seeking to head newly in the direction of the Blues with Scottish Small Pipes' 3 chanters - A mixolydian, D mixolydian and B flat mix (flatted 7th note) ... See, below "So, I return to Ma ... and Marsalis ... :) 
Am wondering too for real-real time music-making across the country about patching in telephone signals with group video. We could even do 2 separate interweaving group videos at the same time (like 2 rooms at a party) ... with Greg inviting people to his Zoom pro video conferencing, and then I on my smartphone could potentially invite another group of you in Google Meet video conference (I think) which I haven't tried yet. 
Here's the great French sociologist, philosopher Bruno Latour with a recent Doonesbury cartoon - BBBhttps://twitter.com/BrunoLatourAIME/status/1358371084014346240?s=20 - by Gary Trudeau which he started drawing as a student at Yale in the late196os -  "the throes of '60s and '70s counterculture,"[1] ... Henry, Trudeau is a New Yorker too ... have you run into him? Are we all Zoombies, or Zombies ? or ... ?
Greg, when I go to Duluth MN in Google Maps - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Duluth,+MN/@46.7646466,-92.3910849,10z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x52ae527e782e37ff:0x90fdbf76eb580c72!8m2!3d46.7866719!4d-92.1004852 - and zoom out, what town do you live close to? Is the Hiawatha National Forest one of your 'field sites'? :)
Great especially to connect with Pittsburgh friendliness - civility even?:) - (from the 'rad' 1970s as teenagers ?:))
ScottHere's my actual-virtual Harbin field site - ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~ :)

So, I return to Ma ... and Marsalis ... their guidelines for playing music ... http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm ... (and could this lead too to jamming with the Allman Bros in 1973 on bagpipe? .... or to Glaswegian Kinnaris Quintet, verging on Scottish traditional chamber music, even?)
So, as I wrote to my Ma last night ... 
I played bagpipes and piano last night .. Scottish Country Dancing sheet music (ear candy) was most enjoyable to play and hear :) ... and in retrospect I could have piped more slowly and relaxedly (playing some jigs and hornpipes) ... and am seeking to chart out some new goals eg for albums 2, 3, & 4 (Piobaireachd, Light Music, 'Pibroching the Blues' with Allman Bros '73 +)
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/02/yukon.html ... and even - way out of the box - to eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology or brain chemistry naturally - with music - and explicitly with consciousness :) ... and here's a kind of riff with the above on this - http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingLovingBlissvavMusicalInstrument.htm -

Non-theist Friends (NtFs), friendly Quakers

Greetings, Nontheist Friends (NtFs), friendly Quakers, 

I hope this email finds you well. 
Glad to write that NtF inspired (in part) CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School is growing. WUaS is newly partnering with edX, and seeking 150 undergraduates to matriculate this autumn 2021 for free-to-students' online best STEAM CC-4 OCW-centric 4-year Bachelor degrees, first in English. WUaS also has four possible PhD students (7 years to completion?) and is seeking for these to apply and matriculate at WUaS through MIT Departments themselves. In doing this, WUaS is also seeking to develop online WUaS counseling and potentially through something like MIT Medical - and for our students from all ~200 countries, many with English as a second language, and from very different cultures than in the US or Anglophone countries, for example. 
On our WUaS wiki side, WUaS is seeking to build out wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7117 known living languages, and will blog about both of these developments today in a post with communication with edX and MIT > https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/MIT.

 MIT's departments, in what ways would it be possible for these prospective WUaS PhD students to apply directly through MIT Departments to matriculate at WUaS?

Dear Matthew, Marissa, Ned, Cameron at edX, All, 

I hope this email finds you well. Just following up on our recent conversation in videography. In anticipating WUaS Monthly Business Meeting in 2 weeks, and matriculating 150 undergraduate students potentially as early as May 1, but probably September 1, 2021, I'm writing to confirm that what you said is that WUaS would have to pay edX about $101,000 to interoperate our developing platform with edX's dashboard ($50,000), and $17,000 (or $350 per student per year) for each 50 students we matriculate, and get grades for, as we proceed with probably BPPE licensing and WASC accrediting. Is this accurate? Newly, WUaS is seeking to plan for 4 possible PhD students too (taking possibly 7 years to complete their PhDs in English; 2 from India possibly, 1 from Morocco, and 1 from Indonesia). 
And since WUaS doesn't yet have a relationship with MIT's departments, in what ways would it be possible for these prospective WUaS PhD students to apply directly through MIT Departments to matriculate at WUaS? This is something Larry Viehland and I and Prasanth talked about at last month's WUaS Monthly Business Meeting - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/alpine-lily.html, and also perhaps through MIT Admissions - (https://twitter.com/MITstudents/status/1349417230623272960?s=20 ? In process, in what ways might our WUaS matriculating students get access to MIT Medical for counseling even (see below)?
One of our high achieving prospective PhD students today wrote 
இந்த உலகத்துல யாரும் என் அளவுக்கு துன்பம் அனுபவித்திருக்க மாட்டார்கள் என நினைக்கிறேன்.
Translated from Tamil by
I don't think anyone in this world has suffered as much as I have.

https://twitter.com/Prasanth0Nature/status/1358499275680804864?s=20

So would it also be possible for our WUaS PhD students to get access to MIT Medical (https://twitter.com/MITmedical) or similar for counseling too?
And in terms of interoperating WUaS's developing platform with edX's dashboard, and Houcemeddine above (in Tunisia, who helped install WUaS in Wikibase Opencura - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/12/sat-dec-19-2020-wuas-minutes-for-open.html - and in WUaS planning for students in all ~200 countries, and wiki teachers and learners in all 7,117 known living languages, and indeed, brainstorming-wise, wiki teachers and learners among all 7.8 billion people on the planet, for free universal people-to-people education), could Houcemeddine and perhaps Ned somehow work together to develop an interface between the edX dashboard, the emerging WUaS platform, partly WUaS Wikibase Opencura-centric, and in WUaS's G Suite for Education too, which WUaS has been in for years, and which also provides access to the Google Ecosystem including Translate and TensorFlow too? 
I think Prasanth as a matriculating student would welcome an opportunity for counseling, given the statement above (since I think life can be really hard in India, despite it's remarkable tolerance, and diversity and many languages and cultures). 
Thank you.
