'Twas the Night Before Christmas ...
Here's the Google Meet video conference link (just like Zoom) - just click on the link -
meet.google.com/gmn-bewd-qgw - for our gathering tomorrow: 9:00 am Pacific Time (which will be 12 noon your time, Eastern Time).
How are you both, and how did your procedure go today, David?
Fondly, Scott
'Twas the Night Before Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN!
On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONNER and BLITZEN!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!

Hello Scott,
We sincerely apologize for our delay in responding. We have been very short staffed until recently and have been inundated with work on our national nursing home project. We have added 3 new staff members to our Account Services Team, including myself, and we are looking forward to providing more timely assistance!
We are very excited to hear about your interest in collaborating with the Stanford GI residents!
We do not have record of your attendance at any of our Immersion Trainings. Once you have registered for an upcoming Virtual Immersion Training, we will customize your organization’s partnership agreements and email them to you to be signed by an authorized signer. Once we receive your signed partnership agreements, we will create your organization’s hub file into our system, and we would be happy to connect you with Stanford University’s ECHO hub primary contact and with the primary contact of the specific ECHO program you are interested in collaborating with, as well.
Please feel free to reach out to us with any additional questions!
Kind regards,

Dear Carly, ECHO Replication team, Michael, Larry and Sanjeev, All,
Thanks very much. I just registered for the Project ECHO January 27-29, 2021 Immersion.
Sincerely, Scott
Scott GK MacLeodPresident, Founder, CEO, Professor
worlduniversityandschool.orgbest STEM CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World University and School
PSin the registration process, I wrote, and in these early stages for World University and School:
Academic Medical Center
I chose India as a second country and after the USA, but WUaS seeks to be in all ~200 countries and in their official languages, so would have chosen all ~200 countries given the choice..
World University & School seeks to develop WUaS medical schools to teach telemedicine & for online clinical care in all ~200 countries (per Olympics), as part of WUaS's major universities for online MD degrees, and in ~200 online teaching hospitals, - and also in all 7,117 known living languages.
But WUaS is more complex that this too; see the developing WUaS Annual Meeting Minutes - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/12/sat-dec-19-2020-wuas-minutes-for-open.html - which Meeting was on Saturday, December 19, 2020.
Additionally, could WUaS start with Hepatitis C (with which Project ECHO began, with a GI MD, a Pharm.D. and a psychiatrist) in each of all ~200 countries and in their official languages, and head too in the direction of telerobotic surgery in a realistic virtual earth for surgery - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSurgery?src=hashtag_click - eg - https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1334748457387532288?s=20 - and for further innovation and with robotics too ?
See some of you in the ECHO immersion on 1/27/20!

Dear Carly, ECHO Replication team, Michael, Larry and Sanjeev, All,
Thank you again so much for your email today, and making it possible to sign up for a Project ECHO Immersion Program.
Would it be possible please to do the WUaS / Project ECHO form-signing, et al., all digitally (since my printer stopped working about 3 months ago, and I may decide to head in a printer-free direction)? If not, I can probably find a friend with a printer, or may head out to purchase one).
Thank you, Scott
Again, How could Project Echo and World University and School best collaborate to create ~200 online medical schools in all ~200 countries? (And how could we do this in all ~200 countries' official and main languages?)
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School
And, beginning with Hepatitis C, how could Project Echo and World University and School best collaborate to create online Teaching Hospitals relating to these ~200 medical schools and ~200 teaching hospitals ~ https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital

Season’s Greetings 2021!

Scott & Jane MacLeod, Christmas, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 2019
Dear friends,
Happy New Year 2021! And Merry Christmas ...
What are you up to over these upcoming holidays? Will you celebrate with family in video conferencing? The Brown kin (the maiden name of my mother) will be getting together tomorrow in Skype video ;) and some Cuttyhunk family and friends on Xmas Day in Google Meet!
I hope this finds you well!
Here's the Earlham College (the college my mother went to her first year) aging reversal article, in the Harvard Medical School in Ophthalmology!:
“Earlham grads named co-authors on groundbreaking study that reversed the clock on aging”
And All, is this article suggesting promising research for getting genetic material to MUSCLES????? -
NeuBase Therapeutics Announces Positive Preclinical In Vivo Data for PATrOL™-enabled Anti-gene for the Treatment of Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1
More related Tweets and links here follow!
Genetic aging reversal by adding genes back into aging cells is indeed a novel re-conceptualizing and not easy to get my mind around in the details.
And what are your thoughts about AGING REVERSAL via genetic engineering - re Harvard / MIT Prof of Genetics' George Church's thinking https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk (1 minutes) (and see the 'longevity label in blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/se...).
And what about getting genetic information via genetic engineering to bones next, re aging reversal questions?
Glad to have given this UC Berkeley Anthropology Tourism Studies' talk on Friday:

And 5TH Book is coming any day now (it's a birthing process:) -
"Light, Float, Sit, Watsu ~ Virtually: Bodymind Electricity Sings to Me at Harbin Hot Springs & Other Traveling Poems" - emerging soon, but besides a few blog entries, there aren't any web pages for this yet, but will emerge here ~ https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity ~ and in the Poetry Press at World University and School ~ http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html ~ a new publishing house! :)
If aging reversal pans out, it's a whole new world! Time grows longer, much longer! Much love for longer? To be seen!
Friendly inquiry: Is the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic of the past year in part a worldwide fire drill, with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 virus) being tested now one of many viruses giving rise to the ‘common cold?’ Were the events in Wuhan, China, and in Lombardy and Veneto, Italy, products of laboratories that got this pandemic happening in the internet news’ media? Further thoughts in blog and re 5 hypothetical news’ items - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/himalyan-monal-how-are-harbin-hot.html. If so this might be very good news re genetic engineering revolution underway, and for preparedness in the event of an emergency and many other ways.
Another fascinating remarkable development:
Free money?: you can begin to get free money daily with Stanford ‘Mine Pi’ crypto-currency; use this code: sgkmac
The mine-able Stanford 'Mine Pi' crypto-currency - minepi.com/sgkmac (and, on your smartphone, please use sgkmac as a referral code) - could become the basis for single crypto-currency in all ~200 countries.
Warm greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area.
Merry Xmas & Happy New Year!
Warmest regards, Scott
PS
It’s been another generative year for ideas in terms of daily blog posts - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com - as well.
Happy New Year and best wishes to all of you and your loved ones in this holiday season!

Hi Susan, Nelson, and All,
Thanks for inquiring about a video of my talk on Friday, Susan - http://tourismstudies.org/news_archive/MacLeod2020.htm. Am seeking to get a realistic virtual Harbin happening soon ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~ ...
I just did a little research and have done 5 UC Berkeley Anthropology Tourism Studies' talks in recent years 2012-2020, which I just updated to my CV: https://goo.gl/JZheSb (search on 'TSWG'), BELOW, and added talks here, to my "Doubleday's Hummingbird ..." blog post regarding this talk (12/2020) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html - re - http://tourismstudies.org/news_archive/MacLeod2020.htm. I think I've found all the TSWG announcements, except from 2018, "Harbin & Avatar Bots: Robotics & Tourism," regarding further access. Mahlon, any idea whether this TSWG announcement for my talk might be available? It was postponed from the spring to the autumn, and I can't find the announcement when I search for it.
A few of my TSWG talks have videos, if you'd like to see, in a scholarly way, Susan, where my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' project has come from, and where it's heading, and most of them have slides (except from 2012, where I'm hypothesizing I didn't use GDocs' slides).
Susan, I'm skeptical that a video from my TSWG presentation on 12/18/20 will be forthcoming (unless I'm able to upload my video talk in its 4 file formats somewhere, where one of the files is enormous), but creating TSWG videos into the future could be something to plan for beginning in January for the TSWG (and the simplest way could be via a new TSWG Youtube channel, and via UC Berkeley, with TSWG talks happening either in Zoom or Youtube; TSWG Zoom to a new TSWG Youtube channel could be best).

I've added this now working URL here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html - and here - CV: https://goo.gl/JZheSb - so far. I may create a similar AUDIO streaming file, from the Zoom files' recording file formats, for low bandwidth situations.
Quite a remarkable system of linkages, regarding TCP / IP, transmission control protocol / internet protocols , that make it possible to create and view such videos, and create group video conversations, in brand new ways.
Am up to 830 blog posts in the 'virtual Harbin' blog label here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual%20Harbin - in my daily blogging (much about writing MIT OCW-centric wiki WUaS into existence:).
Now why can't we head into virtual Harbin right now from home ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~ and soak, and do / write / EWVWG ethnography at the e-same time? ... and simply hang out in the pool area socially, as well as head into the pools some times?
Thank you, Scott

Hi, Nelson, Dean, All,
What's happening with collaborative ethnography, and in STEM / the social sciences, and humanities, too, at UC Berkeley, and on all 10 of the University of California campuses even, now virtually? This creation of a realistic virtual earth via ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy is about collaboration (with UC Berkeley video talk at bottom here) - .https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html. And this 12/18/2020 UC Berkeley Anthropology Tourism Studies' Working Group is about this - http://tourismstudies.org/news_archive/MacLeod2020.htm (and also for approaches to tele-robotic surgery, for example, which will involve much precision, robotics, and remarkable mapping technologies) . Thanks.

Exploring a digital humanities' approach to a realistic virtual earth in Google Street View
M, December 21, 2020
Dear Jean and Hugh, Lillian and Jane,
In this blog post from last January 5, 2020 - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/mudpot-exploring-digital-humanities.html - I inquire about the digital humanities and your work, and am writing again to ask about some of your thoughts further about this. Having just given a UC Berkeley Anthropology Tourism Studies' talk on Friday, regarding text-in-the-sidebar of Google Street View too, it could be fun to collaborate! (And welcome to your new home soon, Jean!:)
January 5, 2020
'Dear Jean and Hugh,
Very nice to see you over the holidays. And Happy New Year - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html ! Did you have a good holiday? Welcome to Miami, Jean (tomorrow, and tomorrow, and ... :)!
Hugh, at the brunch on 1/1/20 (at Ann's in Pgh), your mother suggested communicating a bit about your new director-ship (https://humanities.as.miami.edu/about-the-center/letter-from-the-director/index.html) position in the Humanities' Program at the University of Miami (https://humanities.as.miami.edu/about-the-center/staff-bios/hugh-thomas/index.html), - and brainstorming-wise, potentially about exploring a digital humanities' approach to a realistic virtual earth in Google Street View. How best to make these very easy and useful - and in exploring collaboration with Google even? Could we begin, brainstorming-wise, with your mother writing her memoirs in the next 2 months in conversation with you in the SideBar of Google Street View? And in conversation with the University of Miami's Humanities' Program?
Jean, am curious about the potential to write one's memoirs in the sidebar of Google Street View, and potentially to add photos/videos to the main part of Street View too, and then to print to book from there. This would also be useful and potentially as easy as in a Word / GDocs' document - and for students of history, and anthropology, and the social sciences, too. ...' (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/mudpot-exploring-digital-humanities.html).
Jean, how is your memoir project going, and even regarding photos?
My TSWG (Tourism Studies' Working Group at UC Berkeley) talk is here, in video too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html - but I only touch on text-in-the-sidebar a bit. I think however a memoir focus could be super in developing Google Street View with text further. Thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions?
Glad to be celebrating Xmas with family and friends in video conferencing, and newly bringing family together due to these information technologies, and now with the Covid-19 pandemic, - curiously and happily (i.e. it'll be nice to see Sandy on Xmas, since he hasn't come back to Pittsburgh for years)! Glad too to be bringing my first musical album to a first conclusion. It's called "Honey in the Bag" and I'm playing the Scottish Small Pipes - https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/ (am appreciating bandcamp a lot - if Geoff might be interesting in exploring this) - http://scottmacleod.com/piping.htm .
Lillian, thoughts also about writing, in a new way, in Google Street View, with text in the sidebar? (Am thinking this might revolutionize publishing - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - and at the WUaS Press planned in all 7,117 known living languages with Google Translate, and re science - with Street View at the cellular and atomic levels - and social science publishing especially. )
Merry Holy-Days, and Happy New Year! Shall we find a time to get together in video conferencing over the holidays?
Warm regards, ScottPSWriting blog label - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/writing - in my daily blog. PPS

1 Minutes for Annual Meeting at World University and School
1
World University & School is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 Corporation legal entity in the USA, and a non-profit in the state of California:
0In partnering with edX, World University and School seeks $50,000 to interoperate our emerging WUaS platform (in WUaS Wikibase and G Suite for Education), 150 4-year undergraduate students, and ~$17,000 per 50 students, or ~$51,000 for 150 students per year to pay to edX, potentially beginning with WUaS's May-August term; this comes to $101,000 (with the tuition money WUaS pays to edX to be prepaid at the beginning of the term). This is to offer free-to-students' CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric online Bachelor's degrees, (initially in conjunction with edX), beginning in 2021.
1WUaS by the numbers' continued: WUaS plans to code for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar - for free, highest quality, people-to-people, wiki teaching and learning, in each of all 7,117 known living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning (and eventually hiring faculty members for each of these languages).
Regarding coding for 7.8 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item or similar, - see too: Season's Greetings 2019, https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html - for these 5 reasons to code for all people on the planet in all ~200 countries and all 7,117 known living languages.
WUaS seeks to hire 2.2 million employees (the size of WM), on both WUaS wings, many working 10 hours / week, and in all ~200 countries, with many on the academic side too. In doing so, WUaS seeks in these ~200 countries (per the Olympics) to create major online Universities for free-to-students' CC-4 OCW best STEAM Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD and IB high school degrees. While $14,000 per student per year (University of California instate tuition, excluding books and robotics' kits) is the amount WUaS seeks to receive as reimbursement initially from some ~200 countries' departments of education re WUaS's best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centricity, - from Morocco, as a developing country in the world, WUaS will seek to ask for $600 per student per year from their federal department of education, which is a little less than the amount they give as scholarships to Moroccan students ($200 / 3 months, so $800) per year, and which will cover WUaS's direct costs to edX. As WUaS's degrees come to offer the same value as MIT's or Stanford's degrees, WUaS will seek from the developed countries about $55,000 per year per student ('pegging' our reimbursement request from depts. of education on MIT's tuition), and from the developing countries about $14000 per year per student (instate tuition of the University of California) at first, and less initially from the poorest countries.
In creating online wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,117 known living languages and in all ~200 countries, with faculty members too, WUaS seeks to create free universal high quality people to people wiki education.
2WUaS seeks to proceed with partnering with the University of New Mexico's Project ECHO Dashboard Replication Team for WUaS telemedicine and online clinical care in our ~200 planned online medical schools, and online ~200 teaching hospitals, but will inquire further about how this would work with Project ECHO regarding each of all ~200 countries, as major online universities at WUaS, and in their official and main languages. WUAS has registered officially with Project ECHO Immersion Program in late January 2021. See: WUaS received an email regarding partnering with Project ECHO Replication team re - https://hsc.unm.edu/echo/get-involved/start-a-hub - and beginning with Hepatitis C.
Medical School (planning 200 online) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School
Teaching Hospital (planning 200 online) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital
This may best further be accomplished on WUaS's side in our G Suite for Education (for reimbursement for CC-4 best STEM OCW-centric WUaS degree programs, for example), and in our new WUaS Wikibase / Wikidata (re ~300 languages), and possibly with Stanford Medicine for related medicine course ware, since CC-4 MIT OCW does not have medicine OpenCourseWare because MIT doesn't have a medical school.
And regarding further collaboration: Stanford Center for Digital Health
https://twitter.com/StanfordCDH/status/1328354860954075136?s=20
Google's Verily's Project Baseline ... Robert M Califf
@califf001
Good high-level overview of our plans. How Verily plans to use $700M in new funding
https://twitter.com/califf001/status/1341430076982743040?s=20
How this would all work potentially with a possible single CryptoCurrency like Stanford Mine PI and DISTRIBUTED via UBI experiments, and also regarding the WUaS Educational Services' Store for Medical Textbooks will have to be worked out).
For now, you can begin to get free money daily with Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency now? Use this code: sgkmac Free money to come?:
The mine-able Stanford 'Mine Pi' crypto-currency - minepi.com/sgkmac (and, on your smartphone, please use sgkmac as a referral code) - could become the basis for single crypto-currency in all ~200 countries.
3WUaS planned telerobotic surgery and Project ECHO in all ~200 countries and in their official languages?
WUaS does not yet see any telerobotic surgery on this list of University of New Mexico's Project ECHO Institute TeleECHO Programs, eg as conditions they treat remotely - https://hsc.unm.edu/echo/institute-programs/ - so perhaps WUaS can add this to our Project ECHO Replicator HUB in some of all ~200 countries' WUaS Teaching Hospitals at our WUaS Medical Schools. And it seems like Project ECHO's 'hospitalization avoidance program' could offer numerous opportunities in these regards too for WUaS's online teaching hospital re medical conditions, symptoms, diagnoses and treatments, and online clinical care.
Example of surgery robotics to come?

3aProf Bede McCormack was present in WUaS Annual Meeting by sending an email during the Meeting, and regarding:Archaeology virtual earth? - #RealisticVirtualEarthForArchaeologyhttps://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForArchaeology?src=hashtag_click
See too: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/cistus-minutes-for-world-univ-sch.html
This realistic virtual earth for archaeology at WUaS will interoperate with a realistic virtual earth for surgery, and for robotics, for example.
4Accreditation & Ph.D. student inquiries -
Thanks to Mr. Imad Zalmat in Morocco, a 27 year old graduate in chemistry, who is potentially very interested in the planned Ph.D. program at WUaS.
And when Scott attended the BPPE licensing workshop in San Jose, CA in February 2019, BPPE said they could license not only Bachelor's degrees but also Ph.D.s! (BPPE licensing goes hand-in-hand with WASC senior accreditation initially, as these agencies develop in the information age in CA).
Imad is most interested in a free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric Ph.D. candidacy in Computer Science beginning in September 2021, with a likely 7 year average time to completion at first. Perhaps Imad could help develop a realistic virtual earth for chemistry in these regards, and in French and Arabic too, even in part, since his undergraduate degree was in chemistry - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click. Here again is a recent MIT Ph.D. recipient, Scott Greenwald, who's working on chemistry and physics at the molecular level in virtual worlds - https://twitter.com/scottgwald/status/1272880672449925121?s=20 - as an example of what Imad might begin to be coding in a computer science Ph.D.
In what ways could WUaS begin to hire on our academic wing in all ~200 countries for film production to help build out a realistic virtual earth at the Google Street View, cellular and atomic levels especially, in addition to developing a film-to-3D application for this:
- realistic virtual earth for film production ... and 1-1 correspondence

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rjAgHoN1uE4JcuGPiVnvDibpA0Fd4StA/view -
He is inquiring further of the University of California: what's happening with collaborative ethnography, and in STEM / the social sciences, and humanities, too, at UC Berkeley, and on all 10 of the University of California campuses even, now virtually? This creation of a realistic virtual earth via ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy is about collaboration (with UC Berkeley video talk at bottom here) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html. And this 12/18/2020 UC Berkeley Anthropology Tourism Studies' Working Group is about this - http://tourismstudies.org/news_archive/MacLeod2020.htm too (and also for approaches to telerobotic surgery, for example, which will involve much precision, robotics, and remarkable mapping technologies) .
7World University and School / the WUaS Corporation adopted the same budgets for 2021, as for 2020, per Larry Viehland, CFO, who made this motion.
2 Minutes for Annual Meeting at the WUaS Corporation 2The WUaS Corporation / WUaS Press is a for-profit general stock company legal entity in the state of California

http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html
AWUaS's CFO, Larry Viehland, in the middle of this Annual Meeting put a ~$200 check in the mail to WUaS, as a contribution, and for this the WUaS Corporation will give him 20 shares of the WUaS Corporation stock, and add his name and this exchange to the WUaS Corporation shares' spreadsheet for this as well.
BSingle cryptocurrency & UBI experiments for 7.8 billion people, brainstorming-wise, in ~200 countries, to alleviate poverty, and backed by most central banks, or legal systems:
WUaS is seeking to code for all 7.8 billion people at the WUaS Corporation, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar,, and to DISTRIBUTE a single CryptoCurrency such as "Stanford Mine PI" - and further DISTRIBUTED via UBI experiments ... with WUaS Educational Services' Store ahead ... (and regarding the edX Dashboard, the ECHO Dashboard, and WUaS in G Suite for Education - possibly also for reimbursement for CC-4 best STEM OCW-centric WUaS degree programs, but first in $ US dollars) / WUaS Wikibase is ahead ... and possibly also for the WUaS Educational Services' Store - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - also planned in all 7,117 known living languages, and in 200 countries in their main and official language.

(a nonprofit legal entity in the state of California)Minutes for Annual Meeting at World University and School
0In partnering with edX, World University and School seeks $50,000 to interoperate our emerging WUaS platform (in WUaS Wikibase and G Suite for Education), 150 4-year undergraduate students, and $17,000 per 50 students, or ~$51,000 for 150 students per year to pay to edX, potentially beginning in WUaS's May-August term; this comes to $101,000, with the tuition money WUaS pays to edX to be prepaid. This is to offer free-to-students' CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric online Bachelor's degrees, (initially in conjunction with edX), beginning in 2021.
1WUaS by the numbers' continued: WUaS plans to code for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar - for free, highest quality people-to-people wiki teaching and learning, in each of all 7,117 known living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning (and eventually hiring faculty members for each of these languages).
WUaS seeks to hire 2.2 million employees (the size of W-M) on both wings, many working 10 hours / week, and in all ~200 countries, with many on the academic side. In doing so, WUaS seeks in these ~200 countries (per the Olympics) to create major online Universities for free-to-students' CC-4 OCW best STEAM Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD and IB high school degrees. While $ 14,000 per student per year (University of California instate tuition, excluding books and robotics' kits) is the amount WUaS seeks to receive as reimbursement initially from some ~200 countries' departments of education re WUaS's best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centricity, from Morocco, as a developing country in the world, WUaS will seek to ask for $600 per student per year from their federal department of education, which is a little less than the amount they give as scholarships to Moroccan students ($200 / 3 months, so $800), and which will cover WUaS's direct costs to edX. As WUaS's degrees come to offer the same value as MIT's or Stanford's degrees, WUaS will seek from the developed countries about $55,000 per year per student ('pegging' our reimbursement request from depts. of education on MIT's tuition), and from the developing countries about $14000 per year per student (instate tuition of the University of California), and less initially from the poorest countries.
In creating online wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,117 known living languages and in all ~200 countries, with faculty members too, WUaS seeks to create free universal high quality people to people wiki education.
2WUaS seeks to proceed with partnering with the University of New Mexico's Project ECHO Dashboard Replication Team for WUAS telemedicine and online clinical care in our ~200 planned online medical schools, and online ~200 teaching hospitals, but will inquire further about how this would work with Project ECHO regarding each of all ~200 countries, as major online universities at WUaS, and in their official and main languages. See: WUaS received an email regarding partnering with Project ECHO Replication team - https://hsc.unm.edu/echo/get-involved/start-a-hub - and beginning with Hepatitis C.
- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School
- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital
This may best further be accomplished on WUaS's side in our G Suite for Education (for reimbursement for CC-4 best STEM OCW-centric WUaS degree programs, for example), and in our new WUaS Wikibase / Wikidata (re ~300 languages), and possibly with Stanford Medicine for related medicine course ware, since CC-4 MIT OCW does not have medicine OpenCourseWare because MIT doesn't have a medical school.
How this would all work potentially with a possible single CryptoCurrency like Stanford Mine PI and DISTRIBUTED via UBI experiments, and also regarding the WUaS Educational Services' Store for Medical Textbooks will have to be worked out)
WUaS planned telerobotic surgery and Project ECHO in all ~200 countries and in their official languages?
WUaS does not yet see any telerobotic surgery on this list of University of New Mexico's Project ECHO Institute TeleECHO Programs, eg as conditions they treat remotely - https://hsc.unm.edu/echo/institute-programs/ - so perhaps WUaS can add this to our Project ECHO Replicator HUB in some of all ~200 Countries' Teaching Hospitals at our WUaS Medical Schools. And it seems like Project ECHO's hospitalization avoidance program could offer numerous opportunities in these regards too for WUaS's online teaching hospital re medical conditions, symptoms, diagnoses and treatments, and online clinical care ...
Example of surgery robotics to come?

Accreditation & Ph.D. student inquiries -
Thanks to Mr. Imad Zalmat in Morocco, a 27 year old graduate in chemistry who is potentially very interested in the planned Ph.D. program at WUaS.
And when Scott attended the BPPE licensing workshop in San Jose, CA in February 2019, BPPE said they could license not only Bachelor's degrees but also Ph.D.s! (BPPE licensing goes hand-in-hand with WASC senior accreditation initially, as these agencies develop in the information age in CA).
Imad is most interested in a free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric Ph.D. candidacy in Computer Science beginning in September 2021, with a likely 7 year average time to completion at first. Perhaps Imad could help develop a realistic virtual earth for chemistry in these regards, and in French and Arabic too, even in part, since his undergraduate degree was in chemistry - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click. Here again is a recent MIT Ph.D. recipient, Scott Greenwald, who's working on chemistry and physics at the molecular level in virtual worlds - https://twitter.com/scottgwald/status/1272880672449925121?s=20 - as an example of what Imad might begin to be coding in a computer science Ph.D.
In what ways could WUaS begin to hire on our academic wing in all ~200 countries for film production to help build out a realistic virtual earth at the Street View, cellular and atomic levels especially, in addition to developing a film-to-3D application for this:
- realistic virtual earth for film production ... and 1-1 correspondence
Super! "New technology revolutionizes film and television"

6UC Berkeley talk re WUaS
Scott gave his UC Berkeley talk on Friday 12/18/20, and announced WUaS further too, re Actual-Virtual ethnographic and STEM field sites ... http://tourismstudies.org/news_archive/MacLeod2020.htm ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html ...
He is inquiring further of the University of California: What's happening with collaborative ethnography, and in STEM / the social sciences, and humanities, too, at UC Berkeley, and on all 10 of the University of California campuses even, now virtually? This creation of a realistic virtual earth via ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy is about collaboration (with UC Berkeley video talk at bottom here) - .https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html. And this 12/18/2020 UC Berkeley Anthropology Tourism Studies' Working Group is about this - http://tourismstudies.org/news_archive/MacLeod2020.htm too (and also for approaches to telerobotic surgery, for example, which will involve much precision, robotics, and remarkable mapping technologies) .
7WUaS adopted the budgets for 2021 as for 2020 per Larry Viehland, CFO, who made this motion.
WUaS Corp(a for profit general stock company legal entity in the state of California)Minutes for Annual Meeting at the WUaS Corporation
AWUaS's CFO, Larry Viehland, in the middle of this Annual Meeting put a ~$200 check in the mail to WUaS, as a contribution, and for this the WUaS Corporation will give him 20 shares of the WUaS Corporation stock, and add his name and this exchange to the WUaS Corporation shares' spreadsheet for this as well.
BSingle cryptocurrency & UBI experiments for 7.8 billion people, brainstorming-wise, in ~200 countries
WUaS is seeking to code for all 7.8 billion people at the WUaS Corporation, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar,, and to DISTRIBUTE a single CryptoCurrency such as "Stanford Mine PI" - and further DISTRIBUTED via UBI experiments ... with WUaS Educational Services' Store ahead ... (and regarding the edX Dashboard, the ECHO Dashboard, and WUaS in G Suite for Education - possibly also for reimbursement for CC-4 best STEM OCW-centric WUaS degree programs, but first in $ US dollars) / WUaS Wikibase is ahead ... and possibly also for the WUaS Educational Services' Store - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - also planned in all 7,117 known living languages, and in 200 countries in their main and official language.
CBook
The 5th book "Light, Float, Sit, Watsu ~ Virtually: Bodymind Electricity Sings to Me at Harbin Hot Springs & Other Traveling Poems," in the Press at World University and School, is forthcoming in 2020 - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html.
WUaS seeks to develop an Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital big box, middle box, little box (bookstore/cafe) business strategy in all ~200 countries and in all 7,117 living languages for books/ computers/ robotics/ hospital technologies in the WUaS Educational Services' Store - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - where WUaS is now an 'authorized' carrier of the 3 Lego Robotics' kits, Mindstorms, Spike Prime, and WeDo 2.0.

Trifolium stoloniferum: Is this #HarvardMedicalSchool lab getting #QuakerEarlhamCollege students learning about #AgingReversal #ReversalMechanism?
Dear Dick, Janie, Lucy, Ann, Alden,
Ma, Dick and All, here's the Earlham College aging reversal article, in the Harvard Medical School in Ophthalmology!:
Earlham grads named co-authors on groundbreaking study that reversed the clock on aging
Dick and Ann, and All, is this article suggesting promising research for getting genetic material to MUSCLES????? -
NeuBase Therapeutics Announces Positive Preclinical In Vivo Data for PATrOL™-enabled Anti-gene for the Treatment of Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1

More related Tweets and links here follow!
Thoughts! Dick can I learn what you might think of the NeuBase article in particular?
Genetic aging reversal by adding genes back into aging cells is indeed a novel reconceptualizing and not easy to get my mind around in the details.
And what are your thoughts about AGING REVERSAL via genetic engineering - re https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk - and Harvard / MIT Prof of Genetics' George Church's thinking (see the 'longevity label in blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/longevity)

Hi Scott,
Hope this finds you well. I saw this article in the Guardian yesterday and thought it might interest you. Fascinating to think about what people's lives were like and what languages they spoke in this now-innundated landscape. So much to learn! Hopefully we'll be beyond covid by next summer and can say hi again on Cuttyhunk. All best,Bede
Scientists suggest parts of expanse that once connected Britain to mainland Europe survived waves and had settlements

THANKS Bede!Fascinating too ... I looked up Doggerland artifacts:
"Evidence of Doggerlanders' nomadic presence can be found embedded in the seafloor, where modern fishermen often find ancient bones and tools that date to about 9,000 years ago. These artifacts brought Doggerland's submerged history to the attention of British and Dutch archaeologists and paleontologists." Dec 1, 2012

Glad you liked that article and thanks for the links. I look forward to learning more about what the archeologists, paleontologists and anthropologists can tell us about Doggerland.
Also pleased to know I got marked present for the WuAS meeting! And yes, very much looking forward to a visit to Cuttyhunk next summer.
Merry Holidays and Happy New Year to you, too!Bede

Hi Bede,
Thanks a lot for your email. Perhaps the research of - https://colleen-morgan.com - Colleen Morgan, with UC Berkeley Ph.D. in archaeology, a focus on digital archaeology, and now a lecturer at the Univ of York may be of interest to you - https://www.york.ac.uk/archaeology/people/academic-staff/morgan/ - https://twitter.com/clmorgan. (She's a colleague, and acquaintance, has some hippy roots, having gone to Univ of Texas, Austin for undergraduate education).
Am hoping CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch can create a realistic virtual earth for archaeology in Google Street View with TIME SLIDER for all of this (dovetailing with my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' project - http://tourismstudies.org/news_archive/MacLeod2020.htm - where in this 4th UC Berkeley Anthropology TSWG talk of mine, I lay some further related ideas, tools and thinking ... ) ... WUaS seeks to do this with a realistic virtual earth for robotics - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics?src=hashtag_click ...
Here's the realistic virtual earth I have in mind in Street View ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~)
I'll add your name to the upcoming WUaS Minutes (which were also the Annual Meeting for WUaS this year!)
See you on Cuttyhunk!
Merry Holidays and Happy New Year to you (and with Season's Greetings email to come!)
Scott

How would Avatars work with AI?
"I'm curious how the AI would work with these avatars."
See the Sunheart > our ethnographic audio interviews at Harbin > the animated Max Ehrmann Desiderata Youtube video - in my UC Berkeley talk slides from F 12/18/20 at the end of the presentation.



I'm curious how the AI would work with these avatars. Our physical bodies determine our thoughts to such an extent that it's an open question whether a digital version of an ancestor could really be called a full recreation.
Most of my ancestors who came by way of Boston (specifically the Warrens) were English Puritans who went to their deaths with a certain stoicism. I think awaking them before the General Resurrection would be...jarring for them, to say the least. ;)
Here's some fun info about the ones buried in Weston (Ensign John Warren and Mary Warren were my 9th great-grandparents):http://westonhistory.org/data/uploads/recent-features/2019-11/farmers-burial-ground-2019-pdf-coompressed.pdf

Taylor,
What textbook would you use, and even on an iPad or tablet? What continuing education credits would you take, or how would this work, if you were teaching civics / history in a highest achieving academic high school in Georgia? Could you choose the continuing education credits, from Harvard for example, or would you have to take the continuing education 'units' from the school you were employed by?
I concluded my UC Berkeley Anthropology Tourism Studies' talk on Friday, 12/18/20, with a question about how to bring Sunheart, my friend and main informant in "Naked Harbin Ethnography" alive again in avatar form (since he passed away this autumn). I have about 10 audio interviews I made, which could become interactive, and the basis of AI chatbot developments which eventually could pass the Turing test). See my blog too re bringing Richard Rorty alive as an avatar in a similar way - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Richard%20Rorty?m=0 - with ideas here in a number of posts
In a peacock spider blog post, with UC Santa Cruz virtual / world/ gaming archaeology conference, and mentioning UC Berkeley archaeology Ph.D., now York Univ lecturer, Colleen Morgan, that now seems to have disappeared (there are 2 peacock spider blog post URLS here ) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/eos-genus-historical-reenactments-in.html - I found and posted a game of a hunter-gatherer in video game from 10,000 - 50,000 years ago, that could be the digital basis, pre-language, of avatars of our human ancestors from prehistory - WITH CONTINUAL ITERATION potential, and by all of us, with new evidence and new thinking. (Not being able to find the Peacock Spider blog post I'm thinking of with archaeological video games/representation, potentially because they've been edited, makes me want to create a backup of each post in a MS Word document or similar, on my own computers:).
9 generations back? (Like my ancestor Benjamin Lincoln - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lincoln-78 (about 6-7 generations before me) - and here's his gravestone https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/4852/benjamin-lincoln (and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Lincoln ... and Ancestry .com SUCKS ... ie is Really PROBLEMATIC as my cousin, Mark MacLeod says, who 'lives Ancestry .com' writes, in these regards, and historically, for ex, saying his name is Benjamin L Chadbourne .:) - who accepted the sword of surrender from the British after the American Revolution, was no. 2 to George Washington, apparently?), with relatively little dialogue or writings available, with which to create datasets for bringing B.L. alive as avatar-person to talk and interact with ... ? (Identity and money probably play a role in Ancestry .com's historiography and genetics, sadly ...). Start with a digital avatar, and historical knowledge, linguistic knowledge, do digital history through building out an interactive avatar ... via ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy ...
If 'identity politics' could be playing a role in all of these genealogy historical websites, as data sources, I'm in a Richard Rorty philosophy (even with hints of the social gospel, - and I think he had some Scottish ancestors :) ... and was a Univ Chicago Ph.D., and Princeton, Univ of Virginia and Stanford Professor of philosophy / comparative literature, who flipped the whole philosophy project :)
Cool stone of Ensign John Warren and Mary Warren, and thanks for sharing ... and interesting identity-wise especially ... I'm interested in bringing James Edward McLeod who emigrated from Scotland in the first half of the 1800s, to PEI, where he was a tailor and kiltmaker for example, and where more and more data is emerging thanks to Mark MacLeod in particular (now living in Maine, but a Stanford alum) ... and James Archibald Brown (mother's maiden name), also I think from Scotland to the US in the first half of the 1800s ... iteratively ... but worth getting a variety of avatar coding information technologies going first ... toward historical veracity, and conversational interactivity ... evidence, and thinking, as data sets, to talking and conversation ...
Check out the last few slides of my talk re AI chat bots ... https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1SI2U7ssoy52met1OIwDwT5CbVLz98RuYRVE4OY5dj6A/edit?usp=sharing ... slides 89-92 as key ideas, pre conversation ... with the interviews being the basis of the datasets ... aggregating more data from social media, telephone call recordings, if we could get access to them (Sunheart worked in crypto in the US services in Germany ~1965-1966) before coming to Harbin in around 1980, and living there since then. He was also brilliant, and fascinatingly influenced by the 1960s, and 1970s, and originally from Ohio :)
Thoughts, suggestions, questions, ideas? And what do you think of the Desiderata poem, slide 92, and even re career thinking, for example?
Cheers, ScottAs I begin to near the close of adding the ~38 Scottish Small Piping tunes to my upcoming album here - https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/ -
i am finding the process generative, I may begin to start recording Piobaireachds as well. :)https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/bagpiping

Taylor,
Looks like Rorty has a Yale Ph.D. and went to the Univ of Chicago as undergraduate - https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/rorty/ -And could one use genealogy web platforms as data set sources for interactive avatar bot ancestors - now with DNA too?
For example, this is my mother's father, "Sandy Brown," aka Alexander Chadourne Brown, in WikiTree - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Brown-92991 - who had one or two chemical engineering degrees from MIT (and now my mother, his daughter, has newly become a private person in WikiTree here ... if I'm not logged in ... all these platforms are working out privacy, identity, and so many other new web-emergent genealogy questions and issues ...:)
And CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch is planning to code, brainstorming-wise, for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, and even interoperate with WikiTree for genetics, since they are planning for a single family tree (presumably for all 7.8 billion people too, at least DNA-wise)
How to bring my grandfather, Sandy Brown (ACB or Alexander Chadourne Brown), alive in conversational avatar bot form, and with everyone who remembers him, and our family members' contributions, memories, data etc?
Are you in WikiTree, or is Ensign John Warren? I didn't find you when I searched just now. (It also seems to be much better quality than Ancestry, and it's free ...and has an honor code even, and process ...)
How best to develop veracity and great identity-affirmation processes with genealogy software, I wonder?

Am curious about R&R energy and Piobaireachd ... could be interesting exploration ... and re your move to Georgia (identity and culture-wise too ... while keeping in mind one's career, eg becoming a teacher + :)) ... bit of a trip to say the least :)
Musical cheers,
