Pulsatilla pratensis: [Medianthro] Call for candidates for the PhD projects 2021 - Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism - Charles University

Hi Susan, Ma, Pin, Ed, Tym, (Pat),

Very glad you came to visit in Canyon 94516, when I wasn't staying in a 'safe house' for whistle-blowing - thank you! 
Whistle-blowing to continue after the inauguration tomorrow at 9 am PT which ritual hopefully will go smoothly! 
Am appreciative of Stanford Fellow, China scholar, Quaker on Swarthmore's Board, and New Yorker Liz Economy's thinking here in general -

My money is on the enforcers https://t.co/O5GYL3JkUW https://t.co/EGexKCBlto

— Elizabeth Economy (@LizEconomy) January 19, 2021

https://twitter.com/LizEconomy/status/1351345591922511872?s=19 - and am wondering how California  law enforcement will strategize significantly reducing the illegal sex trade and illegal sex rings here; and similarly how will enforcement in a time of Covid-19 pandemic enforce this in all 200 countries effectively in a new way, to protect the innocent and prevent victims and harm, from such networks? 
Shared some related 'protection' as Hypothetical news' ideas last April toward the bottom of this blog entry -http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/himalyan-monal-how-are-harbin-hot.html?m=0.

Glad we're getting change in polity soon regarding the emergence of a new culture or communication climate in the USA - Yay! :)

Fondly, Scott

1/19 - Rock Center Online Lunch Series: Whistleblowers, Ethics and Compliance

Dear Joe, Steven, Mary, Erika, and Robert (whose email address I couldn't find online - could someone please forward this to him?), 

Thanks so much for your timely and informative Stanford Law Rock Center panel - https://law.stanford.edu/event/whistleblowers-ethics-and-compliance/ - just now. Here below is the question I asked in the text chat, and also regarding my question in the Q&A (not included) about a single cryptocurrency & the SEC, like Stanford Mine Pi, backed in some way by most of all ~200 countries' central banks. In what ways could, hypothetically, Stanford Mine Pi become a world currency (post Euro currency in 19 out of 28 countries, and post dollar), and list even on the emerging Silicon Valley Long-term stock exchange (which has passed one SEC hurdle) and distributed, brainstorming-wise even to all 7.8 billion people on the planet (each a Wikidata Q-item # or Wikidata Pin #) via UBI experiments - significantly to ALLEVIATE POVERTY - and in all ~200 countries and via the SEC, and re extending the SEC's whistleblowing mechanism to all ~200 countries from the ~100 with which the SEC currently works?
"Thanks so much for this panel. What's the mechanism please for adding other countries' whistleblowers, as countries and regarding their citizens ? (eg I’m curious about the other 100 countries out of ~ 200 countries total in the world (per the Olympics) … and to what degree even MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School and our emerging law schools in all ~200 countries and in their official / main languages could play - worlduniversityandschool.org.  Thank you, Scott - sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)"

Thank you, Scott

Call for candidates for the PhD projects 2021
(reminder)

The Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism at the Faculty of
Social Sciences of the Charles University in Prague calls for candidates
for the following PhD projects (each supported by a scholarship), for
its English-language PhD programme in Media and Communication Studies:


     Digital Game Industry and Culture in a Local Context (2
grant-funded Ph.D. positions)

The Ph.D. project will be associated with the grant “Developing Theories
and Methods for Game Industry Research,” which starts in 2021. Following
the rising interest in the study of game industries, the dissertation
should focus on digital game production in a specific country or region,
based on the student’s preferences. The project can investigate the
production routines, design patterns, stylistic choices, or the values
of industry practitioners, with or without a historical perspective.
Theoretically, it is expected to draw from game studies, cultural
studies, and political economy of communication (including the theory of
cultural industries). The methods may include ethnography, close
readings of game titles, discourse analysis, and content analysis. The
successful applicants will join the grant as a funded part-time researchers.

Proposed supervisor: Jaroslav Švelch, jaroslav.svelch@fsv.cuni.cz


     Digital life and learning in the times of COVID-19 and beyond

The COVID-19 pandemic has played a profound role in people’s everyday
experiences, which have even more than before moved to digital and third
spaces. The potential two research projects would either qualitatively
or by applying mixed method research explore those experiences through
the lenses of digital and media literacy. One would be looking at
education of children, while the other at social relationships and
isolation. Both local and intercultural/international research projects
are welcomed. They need to be interdisciplinary by being theoretically
and/or methodologically rooted in media studies, as well as other
disciplines such as education, childhood studies, cultural anthropology,
philosophy, psychology, health, law, etc. Proposals of innovative
research approaches are especially encouraged. The project is in English.

Potential supervisor: Markéta Supa, marketa.supa@fsv.cuni.cz

     Intolerant belief systems and their intersection in the online
communication

Western liberal democracies are polarizing along different lines and
this polarization is specifically visible in the online discussions on
various controversial topics. How does intolerance based on one
characteristic (for example age) relate to other intolerant belief
systems (gender, ethnicity, race, sexuality etc.)? How does intolerant
public online communication reflect societal norms and cultural
prejudice prevalent in the analysed culture? What is the role of
disinformation media in promoting the intolerant belief systems?

The phenomenon can be studied on various research topic and case studies
(ranging from politically exposed topics to debates among popular
culture fans). Studies are supposed to be rooted in theories on online
deliberation and its societal significance, intersectionality,
post-truth society and other relevant theories.  Project focusing on
this field can be submitted in English or in Czech.

Proposed supervisor: Lenka Vochocová, lenka.vochocova@fsv.cuni.cz

     Political leadership – new challenges, crisis and issues

The Ph.D. project should focus on these topics (political leadership as
a marketing tool, changes in political communication, leadership crisis
facing new issues) in relations to Climate change, Covid 19 pandemic,
global migration etc., methodologically it can be approached from
different angles. Theoretically, it should be rooted in the political
marketing theory and political communication theory. The research can
either focus on a specific case study or do a more comparative approach.
This PhD project can also be submitted to the Czech-language PhD
programme in Media Studies.

Proposed supervisor: Anna Shavit, anna.shavit@fsv.cuni.cz

     Discursive constructions of the environment

This PhD position consists out of research into the discursive
construction of the environment, climate and/or human-nature
relationships, driven by a discourse-theoretical (or other
post-structuralist) framework, that allows for attention for the
workings of contingency, hegemony, materiality and discursive struggle.
The research can be located in variety of social fields, including
media, the arts and/or museums.

Proposed supervisor: Nico Carpentier, nico.carpentier@fsv.cuni.cz

     Emerging Ethical Boundaries in Marketing and Strategic Communication

Currently, the communication profession (marketing, advertising, public
relations, strategic, and digital communication) faces an unprecedented
shift due to new information and communication technologies. This
evolution also opens new questions and generates many new ethical
problems, such as using personal data and information, the ability of
the public (consumers, voters, customers) to understand the persuasive
nature of some communication forms, the rise of hybrid journalistic and
commercial products such as content or native advertising etc. We
welcome Ph.D. projects tackling changes in communication that focus on
an ethical aspect in the business field (covert advertising, ethical
issues in a specific subfield such as tobacco or alcohol advertising,
etc.) or research of the ability of the publics to understand persuasion.

Proposed supervisor: Denisa Hejlová, denisa.hejlova@fsv.cuni.cz

     Current Media and Marketing Trends and Research in Health Communication

Health Communication in the Czech Republic is still a rather unexplored
field, which has been highlighted recently due to the Covid19 crisis. We
focus on health communication in general (theory, state of the field,
expert interviews) or specific subfields, such as vaccination
communication or nutrition literacy. We offer an interdisciplinary
approach in cooperation with medical and health experts from medical
faculties and other departments at Charles University.

Proposed supervisor: Denisa Hejlová, denisa.hejlova@fsv.cuni.cz

     Environmental Communication and Corporate Social Responsibility
(with a possible focus on the fashion industry)

Recently, many fashion brands included sustainability and environmental
issues in their communication and actions and this issue is widely
reported also in academic literature (Köcksal, Strähle, Müller and
Freise, 2017; Yang, Song and Tong, 2017; Garcia-Torres, Rey-Garcia and
Albareda-Vivo, 2017; Resta, Gaiardelli, Pinto and Dotti, 2016). It is
not only the fashion brands talking about environment, but also
stakeholders play an important role in the dialogue between fashion
brands and its consumers. Recently, more consumers demand “brands with
purpose”, that communicate its social responsibility, includes societal,
political or environmental issues (Montgomery, 2019). We welcome Ph.D
project focusing on producer or consumer research in this field, not
only limited to fashion industry.

Proposed supervisor: Petra Koudelková, petra.koudelkova@fsv.cuni.cz

     “Class Swap“: class-driven social experiments in Czech Reality
Television culture

This PhD. project will explore Reality Television programmes which are
grounded in swapping social positions of the upper-class participants
who are sent to socioeconomically adverse environments (such as Milionář
mezi námi [FTV Prima, 2020]; Experiment 21 [Prima Cool, 2020]; Utajený
šéf [TV Nova, 2017-20]; Zlatá mládež [ČT, 2016 a 2018], etc.)
International students are invited to select equivalent television
programmes produced in English. The project will be theoretically
informed by the scholarship on Reality Television as a neoliberal genre
transforming complex issue of social inequalities into the bipolar
structure of categories of “winners“ and “losers“. The study will follow
methodologies of content analysis, discourse analysis and narrative
analysis (or a combination thereof).

Proposed supervisor: Irena Reifová, irena.reifova@fsv.cuni.cz

     Discourses and practices of othering

This PhD position involves research in the broad area of othering. It is
expected to be driven by a post-structuralist approach, focussing on the
construction and practices of othering through, e.g. the media, the
arts, politics, or activism. Projects in this thematic area can examine,
for instance, the discourses and practices that create (old and new)
ethnic, political, cultural others, in specific contexts and/or at
different times, or how these practices can relate to social struggle
and resistance.

Proposed supervisor: Vaia Doudaki, vaia.doudaki@fsv.cuni.cz

Deer Medicine Rocks: Out of interest, why are you interested in a PhD in cognitive science, (if WUaS could develop this further from CC-4 MIT OCW) and regarding your interest in Tamil language World Univ & Sch even - in addition to your interest in EECS? *

Hi Prasanth and Larry,

Out of interest, why are you interested in a PhD in cognitive science, (if WUaS could develop this further from CC-4 MIT OCW) and regarding your interest in Tamil language World Univ & Sch even - in addition to your interest in EECS? 

For reading excellent books about the brain, I think, check out Sharon Begley's books (who is an alumna of excellent Yale University and remembered here by HARVARD & MIT Prof of Genetics' George Church -

Over 4 decades of Sharon Begley' strikingly clear prose will live on. For half that time, read her work from afar, until our first chat in 2007, then working with her on 48 more stories. I join many who miss her greatly already. https://t.co/dfRDhauUr5 @sxbegle

Dear Prasanth, 

Thanks so much for your email, and clarification about your interest in a Cognitive Science major. Thinking in terms of a Realistic Virtual Earth For Brain Science -  https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForBrainScience?src=hashtag_click (a plan and focus at WUaS - where a realistic virtual earth will become scientific laboratories, field sites and classrooms) - and in Tamil, and for solving social problems in Tamil Nadu and in India, I wonder how we at WUaS might focus our degrees further. Your engineering focus is very generative and when I read MIT OCW's https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/brain-and-cognitive-sciences/ - 
"To study its complexities, the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology combines the experimental technologies of neurobiology, neuroscience, and psychology, with the theoretical power that comes from the fields of computational neuroscience and cognitive science."  
- a key course resource here potentially, I see a focus on brain theory regarding cognitive science and a few courses below with a focus on language, eg acquisition. These MIT OCW courses are both at the graduate and undergraduate level, without very many in edX yet.

And when I read about the undergraduate neuroscience major and its courses at Reed College (where I went to school) - https://www.reed.edu/neuroscience/requirements.html - I see many basic science requirements (eg both chemistry and biology), some of which at Reed would have a laboratory component, which WUaS seeks to create newly in a single realistic virtual earth, but which may take a while to say the least - ie to study inside people's individual brains experimentally but virtually, and for example regarding language acquisition (eg of Tamil). 
(While all of this could be facilitated through the EECS engineering of a single realistic virtual earth for brains, in Tamil,- in brains' simulations with something like a Google Brain focus ... https://research.google/teams/brain/ ... and writing and publishing many scientific papers a year (and I know Google's Tom Dean there) and thus create many many careers, and a major online University in Tamil in Tamil Nadu online, as well as many Tamil language graduates with significant degrees - Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD and IB high school ... this is a decades' long project)
For you to develop the foundational knowledge in all of this too will be huge endeavor, especially since there are online 5 cognitive science courses at edX - https://www.edx.org/learn/cognitive-science - some in Japanese I think. 
And while I appreciate George Church's focus on George Church's focus on the brain and genes and aging reversal, I wonder if we might focus your EECS PhD with a cognitive science focus regarding the fascinating following science: 
Prof. George Church - The Project to Map the Human Brain
https://youtu.be/l63Bb5ZTue8

Dr. George Church — Brain healthspan extension
https://youtu.be/--TfH82bTi8

George Church - Cognition Genes. Aging Reversal. Lab-built Brain Components.
https://youtu.be/jH87sfVD36M

Dr. George Church — the BRAIN Project I/O & Human Genome Engineering
https://youtu.be/Q_zzFRjeGRI

Please watch these videos, and see if you'd like to gain the foundational knowledge in order to start a Master's toward the PhD. 
George Church could be a great ally and professor in some of this, since he's very creative in his science (and as a MIT professor is a colleague of MIT Prof of EECS Anant Agarwal). Could you collaborate with Anant whose first language is Kannada (from Mangalore in Karnataka)?
Cheers, Scott

We need to provide slides and audio also in all regional languages.Because it's important to concern the understanding of rural area students and students whose studied schools(10+2) in their regional language.
1. It's important to create a Technical terms based dictionaries for all Engineering departments first.I know there are some dictionaries available but not effective.Ex : https://www.tamillexicon.com/glossary/electrical-engineering/
We need to create a best one.Which has the specifications with Easy accessibilty to persons with disabilities.Each and every people( unliterates also) have the easy accessibilty to that.By accurate voice search in all languagesAnd also friendly for persons with disabilities like that course said(https://www.edx.org/course/web-accessibility-introduction?utm_campaign=social-sharing-db&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook)2.

 Prasanth, 

Again, let's come back to a GDocs' "model," for potential ease of integrating Google Translate for this - for slides and audio, and in all languages in India, and also the official & main languages in all ~200 countries. 
Technical terms in GDocs' word, or GDocs' spreadsheet could become terms to train machine learning with, as new algorithms are written, and develop - eg for poetry and STEM.
If it's possible to set up the coding and translation framework - in Wikibase esp and abstract Wikipedia eventually ... . @derspiegel of January 18, 2021 contains a very positive article by
@hilmarschmundt to the abstract Wikipedia. With quotes from @hfordsa and @ma_kr

(where ma_kr is Markus Kroetsch a key programmer of Wikidata, a professor, and based in Dresden / Berlin. And Heather Ford is an anthropologist with a long history with Wikipedia in its 300 languages, and potentially helpful here too)
 - for a computer science bachelor's degree from MIT OCW - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/ - into edX - https://www.edx.org/course/subject/computer-science - in GDocs in all  22 languages in India, that would be a great starting point. 
A GDocs' translation approach, along with WUaS Wikibase / Abstract Wikipedia (in 300 languages), and with CC-4 MIT OCW in 4 languages, and edX in 15-20 languages can become bases for the Academic Press at WUaS - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - planned with machine learning in all 7117 known living languages. 
Will seek to add this to the GEG group, and how do we find coders for all of this in GDocs?

Gerngeschehen, es war mir ein Vergnügen,Scott.

Du hast mir sehr viele tolle Anregungen gegeben, wie wir gemeinsam Collective Intelligence nutzten könnten, um für WUaS eine Plattform zur innovative Ausbildung aufzubauen…
Bis zum nächsten Mal,Fritz

Crimson columbine: Narendra Modi, the head of India, and now the startup capital of the world is beginning to look like a hippy with its 1.3 billion people, and somewhat religious culture in modernity - .. but in my experience, Indians in large numbers are

 

Hi Ma, Susan, Pin, Ed, Tym, (Pat),

A further response to you, Susan and All, in the 'visiting in Canyon 94516' thread below.

Ma, All, I think Narendra Modi, the head of India, and now the startup capital of the world looks better with a shorter beard and shorter hair ... but here he's beginning to look like a hippy, as the head of India with its 1.3 billion people, and somewhat religious culture in modernity - https://twitter.com/1kunalbahl/status/1350668898098561024?s=19 ...https://twitter.com/narendramodi/status/1350470452527783940?s=20 

... but in my experience, Indians in large numbers are ur-hippies with their colorful clothing, and often happy celebratory (even trippy in some ways)  religious celebrations, so as head of WUaS I'm still on the fence about when or if to cut my growing hair. Modi uses Indian symbols effectively in his talks too. 
Do you think Indians are hippies in some ways, from your visits there? :)

Are you doing alright with all the DC turmoil, with National Guard on the move even? I might construe this as further kicking the tires of US starship enterprise car, which will lead to better #ActualVirtual democracy & now re internet & in #Covid19 pandemics. Are you doing ok :)

My barber in Berkeley closed with Covid-19, and I think in protest outgoing pres led to my growing my hair long too ... And Covid+19 seems to be bringing him down interestingly ... thanks to the media ...



Another warning about side effects from covid-19 vaccine in a German paper -
Corona vaccinationWarning from Norway: Possible side effects of the vaccine
The Norwegian authorities are monitoring risks of the Biontech and Pfizer corona vaccine for the very old and very sick.

Did I miss an opportunity on Friday in not applying to become a Stanford CodeX Fellow, and thanks possibly to an opportunity from Stanford Law's Hank Greely and Roland Vogl? I don't think so ... Re WUaS and Stanford climate ... I think WUaS and Stanford will be able to collaborate anyway ...
Heading out for a walk on a beautiful afternoon up to the UU Church of Kensington Berkeley / 1.8 miles each way, and a nice turnaround spot, since it's been closed probably for nearly a year as a place and a building, and probably due to Covid-19 pandemic meme clean up in one way or another (since serious genes of SARS-CoV2, seem to have been released in Wuhan China, and the Veneto/Lombardy Italy area in late 2019 ... sending some ripples through news' media via the internet, and 200 nation states! The future is 'a head,' as George Alexander MD used to quip - and I continue to look ahead to the genetic engineering revolution in this regard a bit, as well as even to starting a family :)

visiting in Canyon 94516

Dear Susan, Ma, Pin, Ed, Tym, (Pat),

Thanks again for visiting me in Canyon 94516, and thanks for your email.
Some further brainstorming, re en guard for the upcoming inauguration. And how to prevent anything untoward, since it's the prevention aspect that has much merit, since once some significant violence is perpetrated, things can spiral out of control to further atrocious violence. 
What further could be reason, Susan and All, for an identity / culture / the "Baked Alaskas" to disrupt this particular election and ritual inauguration transfer of regimes of power on Wednesday, re what the outgoing sick president stands to lose if he doesn't retain power? : My identity / culture hypothesis further (even re Castells' book "The Power of Identify" - and it's a significant theme in anthropology, sociology and the social sciences, academically ... ) And who could do this? TootsNJohns could be one group? 
TootsNJohns could make up a kind of cockamamie coup army, - who are a little bit off their ethical rocker ie mentally unwell, and re some of the men esp who may have become skilled and knowledgable in aspects of war even, which the toots could even know about intimately, and with their communicative power focus ... and TootsNJohns from all ~200 countries, and 7,117 living languages' identities (of which there are further many identities ... these aren't student protester identities of the '60s & '70s organizing for a better society or civil rights or peace re the American war in Vietnam) ... And even re my drying up tragic-source hypothesis, ie victims of the illegal sex trade, of illegal sex rings (way beyond Toots, but kids as victims, for example) ... And I too could know pieces of these incriminating SF Bay Area stories vaguely, and have evidence in a weak sense re narratives, regarding both the most conflicted or compromised to hell t w (of Canyon 94516, at 670 Ridgecrest), or similarly  a most compromised or conflicted to hell a s (of Pacifica) in the SF Quaker Meeting, and at SF State. (By TootsNJohns I mean illegal prostitutes and their illegal customers - in all ~200 countries and in all 50 US states)

SOME related humor about possibly planning somehow - in one of thousands of scenarios - for coup-prevention, from Nov 23, 2020:

Thank you for your mail. Has your mother sold her home and moved to a CCRC?
All the best.

*Hi Mr.Mazumdar,
Thanks for the mail.

Yes my mother has been in CCRC since March 2020 ... And I think she's sold her house, although the covid-18 pandemic was just growing in significance in March, and I never saw the deed!

Cheers, Scotthttp://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/India?m=0

Mr Mazumdar, Ma, Pin,

I would add I never saw the ..." ...deed transfer."
Writing from living in a 'safe house' (from perpetrator / offender potential violence by monotheisms' Quaker relateds and Canyon-ites????) And am pretty completely impoverished without life partner to begin a family - ZB in B?

Hi Susan, Ma, Pin, Ed, Tym, (Pat),

Thanks again for visiting me in Canyon. Beautiful day from my 'safe house' and on the garden patio with winter jacket on, but almost not needing it.
Re the importance of the upcoming Biden/Harris inauguration, re regime change and current pres' incentives to stay in power (which may be ENORMOUS re his wrongdoing and lack of ethics), what precautions against air or sea attacks are there in place? An attack from Russia (re pres-elect connections there 4 years ago), China, a country in the ME, Mexico, US military even???, or domestically from 'Baked Alaska' - nuclear even - would/could probably keep him in power in one swell goop, and he would have left that morning avoiding fallout. Organized via the internet /dark web? 
How are you all, esp in the greater DC area in the unfolding covid-19 pandemic meme US 'clean up', and genetic engineering revolution? 
Good  monthly business meeting for WUaS yesterday, newly recorded http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/bryce-canyon-national-park.html?m=0 in video. 
Warm regards, Scott@scotmacleod

Hi Scotty-
Honestly, what would be the reason for Russia or China to attack us? The 45th President has done so much to weaken our influence on the rest of the world, hollow out our own economy and erode our civil society that a physical attack would be an unnecessary waste of their resources.  Social media gave them a bellows to blow on the embers of division; a cheap and effective way of accelerating Trumps dumpster-fire of a presidency.
I doubt if Canada or Mexico would have any interest in annexing us.  
Have a cuppa, rest easy, and hope for an early spring. Love,Susan

Susan, All, 

Appreciating your feedback (re feedback loops) and reasoning. Lots of  lines of reasoning 'out there' (and when power plays a role - these unexpected unpredictable lines of reasoning or code may or can grow more extreme) and regime changes in a counter-balancing super nation states' loss of its federal capital would change any balancing of power among 200 countries dramatically,  that might have emerged in last 4 years. Will to power re many nation states'? So glad we have 200 nation states' meeting - it's been awhile since the Golden age of the city state in ancient Greece, Athens, as polity!? 
Did some repub coupla film directors get some good footage on Wed 1/6/21 re my  kicking the tires' hypothesis to pay an ENORMOUS legal bill post 1/20/21 for the wrongdoing pres? And if things had gone awry? Related my  kicking the tires' ideas &
Tweet ...  https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1346958861542952963?s=19- here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/lantern-flower-ceropegia-are-you-doing.html?m=0
And a little more about kicking the tires herehttps://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/meteora-greece.html?m=0.

I also think the outgoing pres is pretty mentally ill and a serious danger to many, and this would be his last possible attempt at power. Drama is one game here.
Writing from a 'safe house' and after what I'll call a non-creditable death threat via social media music streaming (somehow SF Quaker Meeting related?) ...and after whistle-blowing too by calling the Moraga police about mentally ill? Offender /perpetrator psychopath (T Wylie, - what happened in Kyle's death?) former landlord in Canyon.
Am enjoying my cups of tea with view of GG Bridge on remarkably clear day, and hope you are too. Some further feedback and  friendly tea conversation in email :) Hope you are tea enjoying, Susan, too, and that the inauguration doesn't go awry :)
Warm regards, Scott

(By TootsNJohns I mean illegal prostitutes and their illegal customers - in all ~200 countries and in all 50 US states). And what could be going on, or have gone on, even at the Claremont Hotel / Fairmont Hotel in Berzerkeley in some of these regards. 
(Persoanlly, if I could, I'd set back the illegal sex trade into the stone age if California law isn't doing the job, re under the law shit, and re lack of enforecement - but in all 50 states, and in all ~200 countries - too too many victims in atrocious ways, but the so-called 'oldest profession' is difficult to reduce significantly except perhaps during Covid-19 pandemic, but for how long??? Probably not easy at all in CaliFORNIa )...

World Univ & SchAgenda & News


AWorld Univ & Sch has 2.5 prospective PhD graduate students for this autumn 2021, and WUaS is wondering about collaboration with MIT Admissions - https://twitter.com/MITstudents/status/1349417230623272960?s=20) - and if they might apply to WUaS through even.

A1WUaS partnering with edX continues, and WUaS is seeking 150 undergraduate students for free-to-students' CC-4 best STEM OpenCourseWare-centric Bachelor degrees beginning May 1, 2021, or September 1, 2021 in English, from all ~200 countries. 


A2WUaS has reached out to Anthony Willoughby, an alumnus of Harrow in these regards, with an inquiry about WUaS seeking Harrow graduates for free-to-students' online Bachelor degrees - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/eastern-screech-owl.html .



BOne of WUaS's prospective graduate students, Prasanth Karuppasamy, in Madurai, India, is already beginning to translate the MIT OCW Circuits and Electronics' course into the Tamil language - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mc6PsDUlU3J7dLEvoeTYplLzm3U7F9XXwJI7j_kZKVs/edit?usp=sharing - with the approach outlined below, and which could become the basis of the WUaS Academic Press with machine learning for all ~200 countries' official languages (and indeed in all 7,117 known living languages) in GDocs even. Such a translation process is a great way for Prasanth to learn and even eventually teach this course material in Tamil and English, I'd think.
Could WUaS add the entire MIT OCW course - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-002-circuits-and-electronics-spring-2007/ - into GDocs, and then with Google Translate THANKS TO GLOBAL EDUCATOR GROUP (GEG) coders, have it automatically emerge in a second GDocs' document - eg "into Tamil language - Circuits and Electronics" https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mc6PsDUlU3J7dLEvoeTYplLzm3U7F9XXwJI7j_kZKVs/edit?usp=sharing ?
So, brainstorming-wise, and in creating a new machine translation academic press in GDocs, how to translate CC-4 MIT OCW's Circuit and Electronics - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-002-circuits-and-electronics-spring-2007/ 
into GDocs in Tamil here - 
'into Tamil language Circuits and Electronics' - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mc6PsDUlU3J7dLEvoeTYplLzm3U7F9XXwJI7j_kZKVs/edit?usp=sharing

then INTO something like this - 
https://www.edx.org/xseries/mitx-circuits-and-electronics

in TAMIL? 
And focus on the MIT OCW VIDEO Lectures early on  - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-002-circuits-and-electronics-spring-2007/video-lectures/ ? 
Thank you, Scottworlduniversityandschool.org


B1Prasanth is seeking to join WUaS beginning with this WUaS Monthly Business Meeting as well. 


Cfree money with Stanford Mine Pi
And interestingly, WUaS's 2 prospective PhD students, and another WUaS Academic contact are availing themselves of Pi cryptocurrency already, and via my network. To get  free money daily with the Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency now, use this code: sgkmac from minepi.com/sgkmac on your smartphone, and every 24 hours you can 'mine' it by clicking a button, and getting more Stanford 'Mine Pi' crypto-currency for free.



DWUaS will soon receive sign the Project ECHO-WUaS Academic Medical Center partnership legal documents for ~200 online WUaS academic medical centers (eg ~200 online medical schools, in ~200 countries' languages, and ~200 online teaching hospitals) with Project ECHO (based at the University of New Mexico), and in the context of meeting its founder Sanjeev Arora MD at a Stanford Medicine Grand Rounds he presented in 2017 (with some potential here for WUaS partnering too with Stanford Medicine for open course ware for medicine, since MIT has neither a medical school nor a law school, and for CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in these areas). 



EWUaS's federal 990-N card 
WUaS also just successfully filed our 2020 990-N card continuing our federal 501 c 3 status (and in California, WUaS is 2 separate legal entities - see: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/indiana-bat.html). 




WUaS Press / Corp

1The WUaS Press is seeking, and has begun in a beginning way, to develop a new academic press in GDocs with machine translation for all ~200 countries' official and main languages, and potentially for all 7,117 known living languages. These book would print to paper, and be post-able, or mail-able, in most of all ~200 countries too. 


2During the WUaS Annual Meeting on Dec 19, 2020, Chair of the WUaS Board, Larry Viehland, contributed $200 US dollars to the WUaS Corp, and for this received 20 shares in a certificate. Please contact WUaS if you might be interested. 


3WUaS is exploring, too, listing on the emerging LONG-TERM Silicon Valley Stock Exchange. This would include WUaS planning for all 7.8 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item #, and potentially to distribute via UBI experiments a cryptocurrency, like Stanford Mine Pi (possibly backed by most of ~200 countries' central banks, post Euro, for ex.), to alleviate poverty.


4A new book in the Poetry Press at World Univ & Sch - and planned with machine translation:

Thanks, Prasanth, 

WUaS has a music school planned as you may know - and planned in all 7,117 known living languages, for ALL musical instruments - each a wiki subject school for open teaching and learning - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Music_School - Check out the Raga subject, without any MIT OCW yet, I think.

Great, 

This Tweet from Mickey Hart just popped up earlier - 

Celebrating "the first rockstar of drumming" on his birthday today, Gene Krupa. pic.twitter.com/nHCcktKDYH

— Mickey Hart (@mickeyhart) January 15, 2021

https://twitter.com/mickeyhart/status/1350120060355010560?s=20 - and he was one of 2 drummers in the (most inspiring to me) Grateful Dead rock and roll band, 1965-1995, but which were particularly great from 1965-1979 for me (with my scholarly interest in the 1960s and '70s - and legacy thereof in India too), and he's sharing a lot of fascinating history even on Twitter about the Dead and musicians who came before ... to give you an idea of where the wiki side of WUaS can head:

I just looked up 
Did the Grateful Dead play in India? but didn't find anything, however the Grateful Dead did play in Egypt and many countries in Europe from 1965-1979 and beyond, for example. :)

Prasanth, 

In terms of even creating jobs in India in its 461 languages (14 of which are extinct) with World Univ & Sch, how to best let people add the above - in Tamil for example - 
History?, Ethnomusicology? Drumming? Rock and Roll? or let any Indian wiki-teacher or wiki learner add their own category .... 
And based on the emerging editable WIKI and MIT OCW-centric information technologies - at ACADEMIC WUaS but with an interest in the improvisational aspects of Raga, metaphorically, as well as in knowledge generation - with much further room for innovation and invention, programming and machine learning? 
Cheers, Scott

The word 'beats' here referring to drum strokes - also refers to hippies, another similar word for 'beats' or almost bohemians - and which words have different connotations in Tamil - and where language, circling around, is one of the things that makes WUaS unique (planning for all 461 languages in India, and for all 7,117 known living languages - and with Natural Language Processing / NLP ... and developments in AI and machine learning)

Cheers, Scotthttps://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/hippies ('hippies' blog label in daily blog ...)

WUaS PhD program candidates

Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org>Wed, Jan 13, 11:44 AM (2 days ago)to Prasanth, Zalmat, Larry, Sri, Koh, AvivDear Prasanth, Imad, Aviv, Larry, All, 
Thanks to a helpful inquiry from Aviv (see below) in an email and via Twitter about studying for a degree at WUaS, I'm writing Aviv, further, to let you know that WUaS is only at this stage planning to offer online Bachelor and PhD programs based initially on the undergraduate and graduate courses in CC-4 MIT OCW - https://ocw.mit.edu/ - and as WUaS plans to proceed with licensing and accreditation in California for these.
Aviv, if you might be interested in a WUaS PhD programs - now with 2 prospective PhD candidates, and possibly yourself - I'm writing to let you know not to get your hopes up too much about beginning in September 2021. 
WUaS is seeking for WUaS PhD programs to begin in September 2021, but WUaS's partnering with edX, and to access edX courses (and for edX courses from CC-4 MIT OCW) is a very gradual process, so WUaS PhDs could begin after 9/2021 too, & I'm not sure when. Thnx
https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1349411804233887744?s=19
As our WUaS partnering with edX proceeds for free-to-students' online CC-4 OCW-centric Bachelor degrees, WUaS will develop an application process too - and now, thanks to all of you inquiries, for prospective PhD positions too.
Sincerely, Scott

Imad in Morocco
Prasanth in India

(Could you all somehow apply to WUaS through the MIT admissions' process itself - and to matriculate at WUaS, and eventually at World Univ & Schs in all ~200 countries and in their official and main languages, like India's 22 official languages in 1 nation state? Prasanth, Tariq Khan, and Prem Kumar, and a very productive "Fwd: MIT OCW in all languages" and re machine translation with the India National Machine Translation Mission in Google Meet video conference yesterday). This is all unfolding as our WUaS platforms develop.

Prasanth, and All, 
I'm writing again to let you know please NOT to get your hopes up too much about matriculating at CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School in September 2021 or before. The previous two matriculating Bachelor's degree classes at WUaS, pre licensing and accrediting, have both not gotten access to edX courses, with grades and sign ins for example. Also as I've written before, there will be an emerging WUaS PhD application process, and perhaps through MIT Admissions for WUaS - https://twitter.com/MITstudents/statu... - and probably with a developing identify verification approach too so that WUaS can prove to accreditors (like WASC and CA's BPPE) that it's you as students who are doing the academic work, and not with the help of others, and even with an honor code like this MIT Honor Code like - https://integrity.mit.edu . 
I'm also not sure yet per this 1/16/21 WUaS Monthly Business Meeting's free money item how people can INCREASE this amount. I'm also not sure yet how people can buy things with Stanford "Mine Pi." 
Again, for those who here who are not getting the free 'Mine Pi' cryptocurrency daily, please go here and start to earn freely: 
To get  free money daily with the Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency now, use this code: sgkmac
from minepi.com/sgkmac on your smartphone, and every 24 hours you can 'mine' it by clicking a button(https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/sierra-tiger-lily.html)
So, until May 1 or September 1 2021, please explore the wiki side of World Univ & Sch, and about which you'll find some inspiring ideas on the wiki side here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/makoshika-state-park-bad-lands-montana.html - in conversation partly with Prasanth, and even in terms of creating large numbers of jobs in India in all 461 known living languages in India. 
Best wishes, Scott

AWorld Univ & Sch has 2.5 prospective PhD graduate students for this autumn 2021, and WUaS is wondering about collaboration with MIT Admissions - https://twitter.com/MITstudents/statu...) - and if they might apply to WUaS through even.

A1WUaS partnering with edX continues, and WUaS is seeking 150 undergraduate students for free-to-students' CC-4 best STEM OpenCourseWare-centric Bachelor degrees beginning May 1, 2021, or September 1, 2021 in English, from all ~200 countries. 


A2WUaS has reached out to Anthony Willoughby, an alumnus of Harrow in these regards, with an inquiry about WUaS seeking Harrow graduates for free-to-students' online Bachelor degrees - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/20... .



BOne of WUaS's prospective graduate students, Prasanth Karuppasamy, in Madurai, India, is already beginning to translate the MIT OCW Circuits and Electronics' course into the Tamil language - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mc6PsDUlU3J7dLEvoeTYplLzm3U7F9XXwJI7j_kZKVs/edit?usp=sharing - with the approach outlined below, and which could become the basis of the WUaS Academic Press with machine learning for all ~200 countries' official languages (and indeed in all 7,117 known living languages) in GDocs even. Such a translation process is a great way for Prasanth to learn and even eventually teach this course material in Tamil and English, I'd think.
Could WUaS add the entire MIT OCW course - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-002-circuits-and-electronics-spring-2007/ - into GDocs, and then with Google Translate THANKS TO GLOBAL EDUCATOR GROUP (GEG) coders, have it automatically emerge in a second GDocs' document - eg "into Tamil language - Circuits and Electronics" https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mc6PsDUlU3J7dLEvoeTYplLzm3U7F9XXwJI7j_kZKVs/edit?usp=sharing ?
So, brainstorming-wise, and in creating a new machine translation academic press in GDocs, how to translate CC-4 MIT OCW's Circuit and Electronics - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-002-circuits-and-electronics-spring-2007/ 
into GDocs in Tamil here - 
'into Tamil language Circuits and Electronics' - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mc6PsDUlU3J7dLEvoeTYplLzm3U7F9XXwJI7j_kZKVs/edit?usp=sharing

then INTO something like this - 
https://www.edx.org/xseries/mitx-circuits-and-electronics

in TAMIL? 
And focus on the MIT OCW VIDEO Lectures early on  - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-002-circuits-and-electronics-spring-2007/video-lectures/ ? 
Thank you, Scottworlduniversityandschool.org


B1Prasanth is seeking to join WUaS beginning with this WUaS Monthly Business Meeting as well. 


Cfree money with Stanford Mine Pi
And interestingly, WUaS's 2 prospective PhD students, and another WUaS Academic contact are availing themselves of Pi cryptocurrency already, and via my network. To get  free money daily with the Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency now, use this code: sgkmac from minepi.com/sgkmac on your smartphone, and every 24 hours you can 'mine' it by clicking a button, and getting more Stanford 'Mine Pi' crypto-currency for free.



DWUaS will soon receive sign the Project ECHO-WUaS Academic Medical Center partnership legal documents for ~200 online WUaS academic medical centers (eg ~200 online medical schools, in ~200 countries' languages, and ~200 online teaching hospitals) with Project ECHO (based at the University of New Mexico), and in the context of meeting its founder Sanjeev Arora MD at a Stanford Medicine Grand Rounds he presented in 2017 (with some potential here for WUaS partnering too with Stanford Medicine for open course ware for medicine, since MIT has neither a medical school nor a law school, and for CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in these areas). 



EWUaS's federal 990-N card 
WUaS also just successfully filed our 2020 990-N card continuing our federal 501 c 3 status (and in California, WUaS is 2 separate legal entities - see: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/20...). 




WUaS Press / Corp

1The WUaS Press is seeking, and has begun in a beginning way, to develop a new academic press in GDocs with machine translation for all ~200 countries' official and main languages, and potentially for all 7,117 known living languages. These book would print to paper, and be post-able, or mail-able, in most of all ~200 countries too. 


2During the WUaS Annual Meeting on Dec 19, 2020, Chair of the WUaS Board, Larry Viehland, contributed $200 US dollars to the WUaS Corp, and for this received 20 shares in a certificate. Please contact WUaS if you might be interested. 


3WUaS is exploring, too, listing on the emerging LONG-TERM Silicon Valley Stock Exchange. This would include WUaS planning for all 7.8 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item #, and potentially to distribute via UBI experiments a cryptocurrency, like Stanford Mine Pi (possibly backed by most of ~200 countries' central banks, post Euro, for ex.), to alleviate poverty.

Dear Prasanth (in Madurai), Tariq (at the India National Machine Translation Mission) in Mysore, India, Karky's Office Chennai, Prem (In Kochi, Kerala), Larry, 

Thank you so much, Prasanth, Tariq and Prem, for our great Google Meet conversation for an hour yesterday about "Fwd: MIT OCW in all languages" and the 22 official languages in India and esp. the Tamil language. And it was very nice to meet you, Tariq. Prasanth, regarding your interest and recent emails about further translation into the Tamil language program, I come back to my previous email here below. And I wonder even how to create a machine translation press (WUaS Press) in GDocs (which could print to paper at the end of the process, and be mailed through the post in India), using the example below again, but newly perhaps with Anant Agarwal's Circuits and Electronics' MIT OCW course in GDocs to create both a platform, for STEM machine translation, as well as STEM terminology. So this would be a WUaS Press GDocs' platform for machine translation / machine learning, where perhaps human translators, Tariq, of the 22 scheduled languages in India could 'train' Google Translate in GDocs. 
How to add the MIT OCW "Circuits and Electronics' " course to GDocs - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-002-circuits-and-electronics-spring-2007/ - and to prepare some beginnings of this course for machine translation into Tamil as a test case, like again:

Let's get the WUaS Press started in GDocs - which seems to be such a GREAT platform to develop a new press in. 

Here's the book's first poem, and Google Translate - https://translate.google.com/ - as a little step toward translating it: 

Light, Float, Sit

Light

lights

Harbin

harmony 

in one, waters warm, 

immense, immersion, milieu d’eau.

Float

flies 

in warm

watery 

ease-me-in present, 

a gift of flight in fluid d’eau, 

where freedom finds releasing in among hug nude friends. 

Sit,  

roots

around,

touch all cells, 

water pool food

intimate naked yes exchange, 

of mind body suit seamlessly freeing we who connect under stars, skies, Harbin-wise.

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2013/09/swimming-iguana-email-to-cynefin-and.html

Am thinking it might be good regarding my 4 poetry books as 'products' in the Tamil language potentially, to keep them 'whole' (rather than choose my favorite 10-20 poems for example, and compile these into a new volume). And we can work out the further steps to the WUaS Press in GDocs re printing to paper etc later! 
I've created some beginning documents below, but won't share access with you quite yet, until we work out a translation and publishing process little further. 
Regards, ScottAs this web site develops - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - I'm hopeful WUaS can develop this WUaS Press and WUaS Bookstore in Tamil on a new platform experimentally, and possibly sell your translation of my book from this even.

HI Scott,

Glad you got the Land’s End gift certificate.  Have fun.  It took a while to get there.  Mail is a bit erratic these days.

I’m limiting myself to just the recap of the day’s news. Or trying to.  I feel strongly that I need to be informed about what is going on.    It is a fascinating week in terms of news, isn’t it?  The Sunday NYTimes in the Review Section had a number of thoughtful articles on the current scene. 

Did I understand there is in the offing another bagpipe student?  I wasn’t clear about that. And, is your current student going to be able to continue to study with you after he moves?

The sun is shining and Longwood has installed a fire pit very near to my cottage (location determined by me) so I hope to try it out this Saturday for the regular Saturday outside lunch.

Hope you have a good week.

Love, Ma

Hi Ma,

Thanks for your email. Thanks too much for the Lands' End card - maybe the USPO got bogged down in the after-Xmas rush? :)
Yes, how 'Desiderata-best' to navigate the media's communication power, and daily meditation-wise too)? I look at the NY Times' headlines daily ... And lightning rod seems to pull ifocus toward him - am curious how Biden will navigate the Media smokescreens - ie the News - as the legal processes fortunately still roll on with the lightning and smoke, - based on Obama years.  
Will give Taylor a lesson next in 2 Thursdays ... (And he, newly, hasn't paid yet for the only lesson in the new year so far, but there's a two week window of time to pay - until just after the next lesson, re kicking the tires too of financial system developments during Covid-19 pandemic???)
Am exploring taking lessons further to focus my 2nd iteration of 'Honey in the Bag' album, and even to begin two further albums' planning - read my yesterday's email to Ian Whitelaw here and below http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/big-bend-national-park.html?m=0. 


Thank you, Ian!

This video - https://youtu.be/ENzIxbMEo2c - was inspiring in a number of ways, the Piobaireachd to a rhythm with the images of the farm, the quartet and their playing remotely, all the examples of small piping, and the different bagpipes too, the compositions, in some ways a kind of groove too in some, and more, all videos of mostly Australian Scots, - almost a SSP+ showcase from OZ! Thank you for thinking of me and sending this. What can I 'riff' with idea-wise and in terms of the SSP sound I'm heading for? To be seen ...

One piping video (Uilleann) I find inspiring on numerous listenings is Catherine Ashcroft and Maurice Dickson's 2 tunes, slow and fast  -
catherine ashcroft & maurice dickson (mochara) - táimse im' chodladh/king of the pipers

https://youtu.be/P40YOU8ggJk - but playing and learning from this re note duration, and with Catherine's almost meditation (I think), in very beautiful way.

It's the expressivity I appreciate too ...
Catherine Ashcroft & Maurice Dickson (Mochara) - Táimse im' Chodladh/King of the Pipers
https://youtu.be/P40YOU8ggJk
(but on Uilleann pipes, - and with guitar too for expressive synergies).

Playing a tune one is learning with a metronome, can help, but not necessarily with expressiveness, which may come out of the communication between piper and accompanist.

So, in what ways could I head toward this kind of Catherine Ashcroft note duration for expressive beauty on the Scottish Small Pipes, and in the 2nd iteration of my 'Honey in the Bag' tunes - https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/ - I ask myself, and potentially in conversation with you too.

And similarly Stuart Liddell's fingering - "Stuart Liddell - Lunchtime Recital 2010: 3 of 8" (2010)

- https://youtu.be/pQEJf5XZPL8 - even for slow tunes like "My Home," and for both simple and complex tunes, - for the unique remarkable flow experiences of listening, is very inspiring. How to develop such wonderful open fingering for playing expressive light music, not on Stuart's amazing sound highland pipes too, but on small pipes?


And could I plan for 2 further bagpiping albums, after a 2nd iteration of 'Honey in the Bag' - 1) one, of the 10 most beautiful Piobaireachd (to my ear, - and what is beauty in a Piobaireachd, or what is 'lyrical' beauty in tunes in light music? - And what is beauty in piping?), and 2) two, the other album with new favorite light music tunes? Such goals help me also improve my piping - and toward beautiful playing, with conversation with you - and are helpful re Guidelines for Playing a Musical Instrument - http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm - almost in terms of 'charting.'

And I'd like to innovate excellently with Piobaireachd and in new ways with the SSP compared even with the GHB, and riff naturally with the 1973 Allman Bros I sent you, after first finding some keys in which this is possible.

Am working too (tonight when I was playing) on developing my Crunluath a Mach, the Taorluath a Mach, the Crunluath Breabach, and Crunluath Fosgailte, from the back of the CoP Yellow Tutor, Vol 4 Revised edition - and for first playing "The Desperate Battle of the Birds."

I'd like my first tune on the Piobaireachd album to be 'The Desperate Battle of the Birds,' which I find very beautiful as well.

Might we get together to talk about some of this further please?

Thank you so much for sharing the inspiring "Jimmy's Gift" video ... am seeking a kind of excellence in playing too, in both the classical Piobaireachd, re expressiveness, as well as in the Light Music, to create almost trance, whirling, flight flow experiences (coming into conversation with Stuart Liddell, and maybe some of the tunes from his Piping Live Glasgow 2010) for the listeners. I used a metronome with headphones on my first album, but think that GREAT drum rhythms - perhaps generated with Scottish AI Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Drumming - on headphones would be interactively and communicatively beneficial and could even be wonderful.

Thank you, Ian, for your thinking!

Scott




Ma, but I'm recalling I have 1 further lesson from 2020 left with National Piping Center in Glasgow, - and thanks to your kind music lesson gift, I could sign up for Another series of ten lessons with the NPC instead of Ian Whitelaw in southern Calif's - depending on my goals for these lessons - with Scots' slightly hippy piper Ali Hutton?). And thanks to the marvel's if lesson recordings, I'll likely listen now to my lessons with Connor Sinclair as I revisit my first iteration of Honey in the Bag' on SSP.
So glad you got your fire pit installed - and for this Saturday's outdoors' get together with friends - newly at Longwood! :))

Hi Ma, 

Germany is entering a national election phase through September 2021 with its very different COALITION party politics. Angela Merkel, Chancellor and in the CDU party (slightly right of center, and a large party), - but Germany as a whole is somewhat LEFT of center, and more socially oriented ... with a very DIFFERENT social contract with its citizens, than most other countries in the world - is stepping down after 16 quite successful years, I think history will write. And does a new civil 'PITCHED BATTLE' for the Chancellorship now begin there in that Democracy, where money, image-making and reaching the people - the voters - are all significant in different ways? The parties choose their candidates, and the Green's Robert Habeck is likely to be the Green Party's candidate. Who can actually win - ie has enough money?? - and the backing of their party?  The SPD is the slightly left of center party, and also large - and Olaf Scholz is leading in its polls. 
(From TAZ.de ... a German paper started in 1979, which is actually a cooperative) ... 
"Before the election of the new CDU boss: Does Merz do it with green?
Friedrich Merz polarizes. The party decides whether he is the right CDU leader. But can Merz also become the first black and green chancellor?" (Google Translate)
 
https://taz.de/Vor-der-Wahl-des-neuen-CDU-Chefs/!5739205/


(From the English "The Guardian" .... )
"German CDU on verge of electing divisive figure to replace Angela Merkel
Millionaire lawyer Friedrich Merz is favourite to take centre-right into federal elections
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/13/german-cdu-on-verge-of-electing-divisive-figure-friedrich-merz-to-replace-angela-merkel

Could Scholz or Habeck win the Chancellorship - and in the coalition - not winner-take-all, politics of Germany? 
Whom will the media elect in Germany, if the media and Covid-19 elected Biden - with the US people in a landslide victory? :) Will this be an interesting election idea-wise? (Many municipal elections can seem quite boring to many, for example.:)  
Looks like the Democrats in the US are coming to 'winner-take-all' power, if Biden's inauguration goes smoothly - wow (after the last 4 tense years)!
Ideas, thoughts, questions, suggestions?

Love, Scott

Ma,

Interesting headline from Frankfurter Rundschau Newspaper

Donald Trump plans to flee the USA - and goes into hidinghttps://www.fr.de/politik/donald-trump-us-praesident-flucht-usa-ermittlungen-schottland-brasilien-jair-bolsonaro-90158758.html

What does it mean, and why no other similar headlines so far, I wonder?
Love, Scott

Ma, 
How was your day? How are you doing re the media fray? :) It's a melee of words and symbols ... 

Lots of 'palace guard' playbooks (sports' teams' wise, and from history) come to mind in the upcoming days to the 1/20/2021 inauguration, so that just keeping Biden alive - and through to the day after the inauguration - whether he attends this actually - OR VIRTUALLY (due to covid-19 pandemic risk????) could be one wise strategy for the US polity to engage ... :) And Rump thinks in terms of force, in one way or another (one interpretation of Jacques Lacan's REAL??? ... and I'm glad the media got Rump on video from from his imaginary to the symbolic, saying he'd support an orderly transfer of power) What do you think?

May have begun a new machine translation press - for all 7,117 known living languages - in GDocs today :)) with Google Translate :) @WUaSPress :)

Looks like an opportunity - a corrected link message - to apply to be a Stanford Fellow by Friday ... Hmmm ... :)

 Love, Scott

Hi Ma,

How are you? How was your day yesterday?
We had a great talk about machine translation re WUaS with 3 colleagues from India yesterday, one new, Tariq Khan, the project officer at the India National Machine Translation Mission, and capably smart and supportively connecting like Indians can be. Amazing what group video makes possible! All were from south India: Prasanth in Madurai, Tariq in Mysore, and Prem in Cochi, Kerala. Kinda incredible. :) 
Is N's face changing due to the Covid-19 vaccines she's taken two doses of? Possibly, in pic on Twitter ... An effect I hadn't thought of before ... Still circulating ... Is it hard to circulate out here during covid-19 self quarantine in seeking a life partner? - just different I think ... Stay in touch with the Robbs re ? Marrying a MD still appeals, but connecting naturally has much merit, - and with someone who could live in the SF Bay Area for a few years? 
Desiderata is realistically helpful in words https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html - in life. 
Love, Scott

Ma, 

When you have mRNA vaccine material at the molecular level coursing through your body as a TEST (human lab animals???? - in case of emergency???? ... many ethics' questions here, re Covid-19 pandemic, and international law in these regards too) to see if it can prevent one virus of the common cold, or similar, what might it do to one's fertility too - and when it's basically completely UNTESTED, with zero DATA about this too, for example? I think the Swiss newspaper article (https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1347968206116319232?s=20 - https://twitter.com/sgkmacleod/status/1347968413486878721?s=20 - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/garden-of-gods.html?m=0) about taking this vaccine, that about 1/4 of MDs in Switzerland won't take the Covd-19 is very germane here.
On with circulating, and in seeking a life partner, as well as WUaS, as the last 4 years' political climate comes to a close!
Love, Scott

Dear All, 

Looking forward to seeing you here soon - meet.google.com/wpn-uztr-qyo - (9:30 am India Time on Wed. 1/13/21, and which is 8pm Pacific Time in the SF Bay Area on 1/12/21 this evening).
There are 22 scheduled languages in India, and in total, "The number of individual languages listed for India is 461. Of these, 447 are living and 14 are extinct." - https://www.ethnologue.com/country/17-92

Am hoping we can learn from CC-4 MIT OCW being translated into between 4 and 10 languages - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translate... - over the past few years, but I don't know this history. 
Am hoping too WUaS can possibly engage the edX platform for new courses - and for grades and sign ins, for example - from CC-4 MIT OCW emerging in Tamil, for example, and perhaps this Circuits and Electronics' course first, taught by MIT Prof of EECS, Anant Agarwal - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-002-circuits-and-electronics-spring-2007/ - as well as possibly using Google Translate and TensorFlow AI, and even engaging Stanford's ethos of education, re enjoyment and excellence (and from which Stanford University, edX CEO Anant Agarwal, has his PhD). 
Tariq, I look forward to learning from you what the India National Machine Translation Center (are these it - https://www.ntm.org.in - and - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Translation_Mission) is working on and thinking in these regards.
Talk with you soon - in just over 5 hours! 
Cheers, ScottWUaS Universal Translator (for 7,117 known living languages in Ethnologue, as well as more in ISO 639 and Glottolog)- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator - 
Beginnings of India World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool... - planned in all 22 scheduled languages in India, from CC-4 MIT OCW into edX, and similar, and with 10s or thousands of wiki pages too!)
