Hi Ma, Sandy, All,

There are a pair of valleys out here where I live in Canyon 94516 on a ridge. Here's Canyon: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Canyon,+CA/@37.8291988,-122.1706483,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f87ef9ccad4e9:0x41abd803a47fdf7d!8m2!3d37.8306731!4d-122.1658805 ...
On one side of the ridge is the wilder side, "Indian Valley," I've heard it called, part of East Bay MUD (Municipal Utilities' District) and which probably long has been used for cattle ranching.
On the other side is the Canyon valley, with its US Post Office, and K-8 public school, about 1/3rd of a mile apart from each other, and both at the bottom of the valley - where this valley is kinda wild in its own way. There might be another 80-100 dwellings throughout a California sequoia/red wood as well as scrub oak type forest - or "redwood groves and ferns along the creek, through the mixed live oak, bay, and madrone forests on the steep hillsides, up to the chaparral and knobcone pines that grow along the ridge." Check out John van der Zee's book "Canyon: The Story of the Last Rustic Community in Metropolitan America" - https://www.grizzlypeakpress.com/canyon - https://www.amazon.com/Canyon-Rustic-Community-Metropolitan-America/dp/0615365558 (van der Zee graduated from Stanford around 1970 as well). A bit difficult to fathom, Canyon was supposed to have been bigger than Oakland, CA, population-wise, in the 1850s, due to its timber community, I've heard. According to this Wikipedia article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canyon,_California - Canyon was colorful history, and was notorious for its rowdiness in the late 1800s.
I live about 25 minutes away from Berkeley, and 40 minutes from downtown San Francisco, in the left wing of this 3 dwelling house - https://www.google.com/maps/place/World+University+%26+School/@37.8345507,-122.1633793,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipMaDiLSNqf_ExgyPct74zgt8q78HEbyeY68pCiJ!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMaDiLSNqf_ExgyPct74zgt8q78HEbyeY68pCiJ%3Dw203-h152-k-no!7i3264!8i2448!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xbc76546d8b81c2e7!8m2!3d37.8343827!4d-122.1635866 . You can see into my front room through the double doors in this picture.
I haven't seen any pairs of mallards in Canyon however :)
Both valleys have their own 'wildnesses,' and I live in the middle of this pair - a bit betwixt and between liminality-wise (in seeking perhaps a more civilized 'vision' of life, or of living in community) - and am developing MIT OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World University and School. Click on the photo of the Adobe house - here https://www.google.com/maps/place/World+University+%26+School/@37.8345676,-122.1634055,3a,75y,217.09h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sMlEYZVV1S7Hsw9Zx322SOw!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo1.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DMlEYZVV1S7Hsw9Zx322SOw%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D217.08772%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xbc76546d8b81c2e7!8m2!3d37.8343827!4d-122.1635866 - and spin the image around to see "Indian Valley." :)
Thanks again for the photo of the pair of mallards, Ma!
Warmly, Scott

My actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnography has an alternative culture, or countercultural, focus, from the 1960s forward, too - http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html- https://twitter.com/HarbinBook- https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity

Ma (Janie), Ann, Sandy, All
If you spin the image of the 'Adobe' house (URL is below again) to the left just a bit, you can "walk" down the road to where I live, about 1/4 of a "mile." I think there's a "764 Ridgecrest Road image" or two - as an Easter Egg to find :) - which is where I live, and you can see my house-let from there too.
I also found these interesting photos, and Canyon visit, in a blog entry by one Manuel Garcia jr. -

A visit to Canyon, California (May 2016)https://manuelgarciajr.com/2016/05/06/a-visit-to-canyon-california/

In my ongoing actual-virtual, physical-digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project, am seeking to facilitate the creation of a realistic virtual Harbin for actual-virtual comparison, soaking, visiting, as well as STEM research, and also via a new social science method I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy ...
For example, too, "walk" down the road 4 "miles' from the Harbin Hot Springs' gatehouse here ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (accessible from ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~) and "wander" around the streets of the nearby "town," Middletown, CA. You can't go in the Harbin gate to visit Harbin itself yet, and at this point.
So here's a new definition of the Harbin experience, from Harbin itself (which I just found here - https://harbin.org):
"Harbin experience ~ New def: "In its most common form, ‘The #HarbinExperience’ can be consciousness-altering and deeply transpersonal, with a feeling of unity, and mental and physical calmness. Many of our guests return to Harbin to reconnect with this experience" > @HarbinBook ~"
https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1262211871999844352?s=20 https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1262212832528969728?s=20
How to generate the 'Harbin experience' in a #RealisticVirtualHarbin - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualHarbin?src=hashtag_click - as well as VISIT ANYWHERE ON PLANET EARTH, at any time in history too! ? ... including WUaS in CAnyon 94516 :)
I haven't sought to find any species in Google Street View yet, like a pair of Mallards, but will keep you posted. And, importantly, Ma and all, you could you add your photo of this pair of mallards to Google Street View (itself), but not to Google Maps, or Google Earth, as I understand this. ... which is kind of the wiki idea ... (who here has added a sentence or a word to Wikipedia ?)
ScottPS'Canyon' blog label in my blog as well - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Canyon -
PPSAdobe house here - https://www.google.com/maps/place/World+University+%26+School/@37.8345676,-122.1634055,3a,75y,217.09h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sMlEYZVV1S7Hsw9Zx322SOw!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo1.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DMlEYZVV1S7Hsw9Zx322SOw%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D217.08772%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xbc76546d8b81c2e7!8m2!3d37.8343827!4d-122.1635866 ~

PPSAm thinking this is all a kind of 'history'https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Historyor 'virtual worlds' related - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Virtual_Worlds
... and you can wiki-edit these, learn from, teach to, these wiki subjects at WUaS too - and check out their MIT OpenCourseWare, eventually for free-to-students' online degrees ...

Octopus eggs: May 16, 2020 Minutes for 1) World Univ & Sch's Monthly Business Meeting, and 2) the WUaS Corporation

Minutes for World Univ & Sch's Monthly Business Meeting on Saturday, May 16, 2020

- https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/05/may-16-2020-minutes-for-1-world-univ.html

- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/20...

World Univ & Sch

0
World Univ & Sch will seek to translate CC-4 MIT OCW courses with improving machine translation in developing the following:
- Major online Universities in all ~200 countries accessible from here https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States (planned in ~200 nation states' main languages)
- Wiki schools for open teaching & learning planned in 7,117 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - where you, for example, can add a new academic or creative wiki subject - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - in an area you love).
As WUaS seeks to license with CA's BPPE and than to accredit probably with WASC senior, the free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric online Bachelor degrees - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School - and Ph.D.s, will be in English (re BPPE). Online Law and Medical degrees, as well as I.B. high school diplomas, will follow, in English, and other languages.
Books don't go across languages very readily, partly due to copyright issues, but WUaS plans also to build on MIT OCW's culture of translation into about 10 MIT OCW languages since its beginning - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_OpenCourseWare. These languages include Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, Persian, Turkish, Korean and others - https://ocw.mit.edu/about/our-history/.

1 Thanks to MIT President Rafael Reif and MIT Professor Sanjay Sarma, VP in the Office of Digital Learning, for making possible a 30 minutes' video conversation on Friday, May 1, 2020 per - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/dear-mit-president-rafael-reif-possible.html .Thanks too for Sanjay Sarma's email in these regards:

Hi Scott,
Best to email me and not Rafael. He is as you might imagine, flat out. And stay tuned.
-S-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanjay Sarma, 35-206 MIT. 617 253 1925 (T). 617 253 7549 (F).Assistant: Laura WhiteT: 617.324.7456 E: whitela@MIT.edu
2With edX (founded by Harvard and MIT) in about 15-20 languages, and CC-4 MIT OCW in 4 languages currently, - and with Professor Sanjay Sarma's interest in the many languages' focus of World University and School where India has 22 official languages - and in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, WUaS will seek to explore further a way to expand our WUaS multiple languages' focus, as well as, conceptually, a CC-4 MIT OCW into MITx on edX approach. This may occur by building a platform in collaboration with MIT and Harvard's emerging online course platforms in the midst of coronavirus as they play for their students in the autumn.
WUaS will follow up about possible ways the MIT Office for Digital Learning might be able to bridge something in a new way in these regards, and make something happen collaboration-wise.

3In communication with the MIT Office for Digital Learning, World Univ & Sch would seek to explore how working with MIT admissions might function regarding online WUaS students in the autumn (in something like the MIT OCW > MITx on edX platform, conceptually) - Harvard admissions too - for high achieving students, from all ~200 countries, and first in English? Eventually, WUaS would seek to develop especially China World University and School, Russia World University and School, and Iran World University and School, in these regards too. See, https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - each country's WUaS to become a major online WUaS University, in its official and main languages, and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University.
WUaS is seeking to matriculate 500-2,000 undergraduates this autumn in English online from all ~200 countries, for free-to-students' Bachelor degrees that are CC-4 MIT OCW-centric. Students would register, sign up, and apply via - worlduniveristyandschool.org - and WUaS will seek reimbursement from all ~200 countries' departments of education per student per year, as we plan to offer online MIT or Stanford-caliber degrees.

4Regarding money transfer mechanism - for WUaS reimbursements from countries' departments of education, and for donations to 501 c3 WUaS, for example, it's also regarding anticipating a single cryptocurrency (or multiple ones), that I think it has much merit to develop WUaS's own money transfer mechanism (on both wings, way beyond P.P.) - and also in planning for 7.5 billion people.
World Univ & Sch will seek reimbursement of $55,000 per country to begin for any number of potential 4-year undergraduate students to matriculate, and eventually moving toward, - from nation states' departments of education, and depending on countries' GDP - $55,000 per year per student, pegging WUaS reimbursement on MIT's tuition into the future.
(I've been reading many different newspapers online during coronavirus pandemic, and often using Google Translate for the languages I don't know (which machine translation is pretty great these days), and was amazed to see in the Hindustan Times (in New Dehli, India) that MacBooks cost as much as $1,999 in India - which could well inform WUaS seeking a full $55,000 per year per student reimbursement (in some of the developing world), if we could give students all live faculty much of the time, like at MIT / Stanford / Reed College for conference method, etc. Here's the article:
"Apple’s new 13-inch MacBook Pro launch: India price revealed: There are three other variants of the new MacBook Pro that are priced at $1,499 (Rs 1,13,000 approx), $1,799 (Rs 1,36,000 approx) and $1,999 (Rs 1,51,000) approx based on their RAM and storage capacities" - https://www.hindustantimes.com/tech/apple-s-new-13-inch-macbook-pro-launch-india-price-revealed/story-iHfWLpt807jgU9IpeM0yDN.html).

WUaS seeks to add a money transfer mechanism for reimbursements, and as WUaS plans to build code for matriculating students in all ~200 countries' official languages, then also for speakers of all 7,117 known living languages as wiki teachers and learners, and then, conceptually, for each of all 7.5 billion people on the planet (also as wiki learners and teachers) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University. WUaS would likely begin this coding process in Wikidata's ~300 languages for something like every wiki WUaS teacher/learner a Wikidata Q-item # or a Wikidata PIN # ... and which money transfer mechanism could work in numerous ways, on the WUaS non-profit wing, for reimbursements, and donations; (And see, too, the WUaS Corp below regarding for UBI experiments? Bookstore? In Quickbooks ? in the online teaching hospitals).

5 World Univ & Sch will continue to develop in all ~200 countries and their official languages with something like, conceptually, MIT OCW into MITx on the edX platform, and with regards, for example, to the beginning Sri Lanka World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka - and in the Sinhala language - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sinhala_language (planned in Sinhala, and in the Tamil language too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Tamil_language in Tamil itself.

6Potentially in collaboration with Stanford University and Google / Alphabet - and regarding the WUaS money transfer mechanism in anticipating a single cryptocurrency (or multiple ones), and in planning for 7.5 billion people re UBI experiments - World Univ & Sch was glad to learn in the Stanford Law CodeX presentation by Ivan Lee on May 14, 2020 https://law.stanford.edu/2020/05/12/codex-meeting-may-14th-2020/ - https://twitter.com/CodeXStanford/status/1260997323284287489?s=20 - that the project he's working on recently added Thai language capabilities to the Chrome browser - thus I think completing all ~200 countries' main / official languages regarding information technologies on the web.
WUaS was also very glad to learn that Stanford alumnus Ivan Lee's datasaur.ai, drawing on Stanford Law contracts and in creating - "data labeling software for training natural language processing models, including Machine Learning-assisted labeling and workforce management features" - is offering their project for free to universities, - and, again, World Univ & Sch is planning ~200 online universities in countries' main & official languages. Amazing, and thank you!

WUaS Corporation
A
The WUaS Corporation's financial report shows, percentage-wise, nearly a ~200% increase over last month's revenue - but WUaS is seeking to structure the WUaS Corp to return what the S&P 500 stock market index has returned on average per year over the past 90 years, or potentially 11.5% annually.

WUaS seeks also to develop a productive 11.5 % a year very steadily for the next century and to grow to 2.2 million employees on both wings (e.g. potentially, 1,600,000 as student types working 10 hours/week) perhaps even, and in all 7,117 languages.

http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - https://twitter.com/WUaSPress .

B

In the WUaS Corporation planning to develop a payment money transfer mechanism which could work in numerous ways, e.g. for Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments to facilitate distribution of a single cryptocurrency backed by a large number of ~200 countries' central banks (post Euro in 19 out of 28 nation states) WUaS seeks to plan for digital currency with block chain ledger.

And the WUaS Corp seeks also to list on the emerging Silicon Valley long term stock market, and perhaps with regard to UBI experiments, as WUaS codes for all 7.5 billion people on the planet, (again probably in Wikidata's ~300 languages for something like every wiki WUaS teacher/learner a Wikidata Q-item # or a Wikidata PIN #) and in facilitating a single cryptocurrency. So WUaS seeks to facilitate UBI experiments for all 7.5 billion people in this 'WUaS coding moment' to alleviate poverty, and via distributing single cryptocurrency, with payment money transfer mechanism.

C

The WUaS Corp payment money transfer mechanism will also function in WUaS's bookstores / computer stores / robotic stores, as well as in WUaS hospital technologies' distribution centers, in the 7,117 languages - both on-the-ground and online - and potentially in Quickbooks with "Mine Pi" digital currency too, for example, and in most of all ~200 countries.

MIT admissions re online WUaS students in the autumn (in something like the MIT OCW > MITx on edX platform, conceptually)?

Harvard admissions too? … for highest achieving students …

WUaS is seeking to matriculate 500-2,000 undergraduates this autumn in English online from all ~200 countries, for free-to-students' Bachelor degrees that are CC-4 MIT OCW-centric. Students would register, sign up, and apply via - worlduniveristyandschool.org - and WUaS will seek reimbursement from all ~200 countries' departments of education per student per year, as we plan to offer online MIT or Stanford-caliber degrees.

MIT admissions

$55,000 per country, eventually moving toward, from nation states' departments of education, depending on countries' GDP, MIT's then $55,000

draft letter to Sanjay Sarma

Re money transfer mechanism, it's also regarding anticipating a single cryptocurrency (or multiple ones), that I think it has much merit to develop WUaS's own money transfer mechanism on both wings (way beyond P.P.) - and also in planning for 7.5 billion people. Will add to Minutes.

"Free yourself from the mass media, the virus doesn't exist"

Hi Ma, Ann,

Rain much of the night, seems unusual, but kinda welcome ... Some 'big' internet thoughts ... and re Information Technology theory even ... per following news' article "Free yourself from the mass media, the virus doesn't exist" - https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/plus208035545/Corona-Demos-Berlin-Der-Virus-existiert-nicht.html.

With a 6 minute video of which I could see half only once before a pay wall popped up in the journalistically-excellent Welt.de newspaper ("The World" in German, as media there too). I teach about the related following ideas in one of my courses - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html. In article there's an interesting theoretical perspective too re 'MASS SELF COMMUNICATION' thesis in Castells' book "Communication Power" - as new/significant with internet -

"Free yourself from the mass media, the virus doesn't exist"
https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/plus208035545/Corona-Demos-Berlin-Der-Virus-existiert-nicht.html
CORONA-DEMONSTRANTEN
„Befreit Euch von Massenmedien, der Virus existiert nicht!“
Stand: 07:34 Uhr
Martin Heller
Head of Video Innovation

which is about "corona demonstrators" in one of millions of articles in last few months -

? symbolically significant ?

Or could one also interpret this article as an understanding advertisement to get readership - i.e. sticky eyeballs - if not to sell this newspaper monetarily. Germans seem more reasonable, balanced and measured with all things financial than Americans, but they also haven't given rise to Silicon Valley innovations, and the info tech revolution. And the article's title echos revolutionary thinking, yet meme-wise ( where meme could be 'imitated replicating cultural units' - or repeated words).

And even if I were able to view the article a second time behind its pay wall, like I can view Boston Globe's articles behind their p'ay wall' in the Tor browser - I wouldn't be able to view the article's video a 2nd time in the Tor browser because Tor's orientation to coding for privacy currently makes videos inaccessible, and likewise machine translation. (That I was able to see half this video once on Android smartphone in Chrome browser, and after which a pay wall popped up, and in a second different browser, Firefox, is new to me) - in thinking about all these I.T. processes, and social theory-wise too. (I also checked this article in Tor browser, and can't read it behind its pay wall, unlike Boston Globe articles, for example).

A further "HYPOTHETICAL News' " item (I'm making this up): It was Stanford laboratories (either in Palo Alto or in China) that created a SARS Covid-19 virus, and released it in Wuhan, partly as a radical action, and also to focus the world on 'in case of emergency' OF EMERGENCY global epidemic scenarios. And there was another related release of this SARS Covid-19 in Italy (as hypothetical news). The rest of the coronavirus pan-demic has been 'memes' :) .. now how to 'test these hypotheses' :)? (And I asked my former landlord about his saying that the virus in Wuhan, China was due to vial with virus in a vial and in "archery contest in Wuhan, China"" I later called him about this to check on it, and when I asked him explicitly about this, he said the vial with virus in it and "archery contest in Wuhan, China"" was "fake news"??? (per https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/03/courtship-display-heartsong-and-all.html ) ... Hmmm ... Philosophical skepticism has merit.

Also, re internet privacy questions, having just got a monthly Google Maps' update of my trips when I've carried my smartphone I think - and again re privacy questions - and the Google Apple contact-tracing project re the coronavirus pandemic, it looks like Google already knows exactly where I've traveled in the past month ... https://www.google.com/maps/timeline?ved=0ENaiAggAKAA&pb=!1m2!2m1!1s2020-04&gid=118114165587746804948 ... Hmmm .. is some of the media about Google Apple contact-tracing project fake news itself? Has the coronavirus pandemic been significantly fake news? (and per this recent online Oxford university talk "Freedom of Expression & the Weaponization of Information" - https://pcmlp.socleg.ox.ac.uk/event/freedom-of-expression-the-weaponization-of-information-with-antonina-cherevko-adviser-international-media-support (a bit old school, as well as culturally Russian or east bloc thinking even:) - by Antonia Cherevko (who speaks Russian natively) ... Hmmm .

As a Castellian (Manuel Castells), am thinking about some of these things in these regards (and also re http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html).

New hypothesis - social media gives us all who use it and post 'communication power' :)

Moist outside but ...

Sri Lanka's Freedom College's Expression of interest in collaborating with World University and School (cont.)

Hi Rifai, Peter and Partha,

Typed in 'Free College' in Google Translate, selected Sinhala, and got both:
නිදහස් විද්යාලය
nidahas vidyālaya
What a lovely script. Slightly different connotation than "Freedom College" in English.
Coupons and Promo Codes re ORAP ... as incentives to take edX courses ... Hmmm... and an inspiring realistic virtual earth for STEM classrooms ... https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click ... somehow as incentives too? I don't know that students are seeking to take edX courses in the same way that students are applying to MIT and Stanford at the undergraduate level - yet.
Will keep the .edu domain name in mind - thanks. Also, brainstorming-wise, WUaS may develop our online medical schools with online teaching hospitals for online clinical care and research building out of something like Sebastian Thrun's Udacity approach:
Introducing #UdacityAIforHealthcare Nanodegree program!
Due to the #COVID19 #pandemic, there has never been a better ti‍me to understand the impact of #AI on the #healthcare industry and to learn how you can leverage AI for patient care. Learn more https://bit.ly/3bxC8wF.

https://twitter.com/udacity/status/1260268573836132352?s=20... which also takes, like edX, a nanodegree approach to incentives ... and perhaps as different incentives than ORAP.
Thanks again for your email.
Regards, Scott
Have posted some of our correspondence here thus far:

Hi !
Yeah ! Languages from the Indian sub continent somewhat look the same due to Sanskrit and Pali origins. Sinhala is an Indian language that is extinct in India and Sri Lanka is the only country that uses Sinhala. Z is missing in the alphabet so Zebra is pronounced Sebra.
The degree programmes are actually a combination of selected individual certificates. Only difference is you have to enroll into the university and the exams are proctored if I am not mistaken. It is all in the degree certificate. You can consider that too. Ubiquity does that. Have you checked out Nopaymba.com and wikispecies?
Regards,
Rifai

Rifai, All, Yay!No Pay MBA, from edX etc - https://www.nopaymba.com - cool Ubiquity Univ - https://www.ubiquityuniversity.org - coolSpecies - https://species.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and https://species.wikimedia.org/ - Here's WikiTree - planning a complete family tree, presumably for all 7.5 billion people - https://www.wikitree.com And WUaS seeks to code for all 22 million Sri Lankans, each a Wikidata PIN# as wiki teachers and learners at WUaS too ..Beyond degrees at Nidahas Vidyalala ... Degrees at WUaS? Seeking to license with the state of CA's BPPE, and probably WASC senior (which accredits Stanford and MIT), first in English ... and offer online Bachelor, Ph.D. Law, Medicine, and IB High School degrees - in Sinhala too and all 200 countries' official languages ... conceptually on something like MIT OCW into MITx on the edX platform, but perhaps newly in collaboration with MIT and Harvard as they all go online for the autumn due to the coronavirus pandemic ... stay tunedRegards, Scott

*

Rifai, and All,
WASC senior accredits Stanford and UC Berkeley and all the UCs in California, but not MIT (re "which accredits Stanford and MIT") ... and WUaS may accredit with WASC senior too, as we explore licensing with state of CA's BPPE concurrently.
Pre coronavirus pandemic, here are the 5 reasons WUaS seeks to code for all 7.5 billion people on planet earth - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html - from Dec 31, 2019 blog post ... and now with the Apple - Google contact-tracing application unfolding, there may be further collaboration potential for WUaS with Google/ Alphabest in the future. This is especially re WikiTree and which 7.5 billion person focus - at a key WUaS coding moment - you'll find in the Agenda & News for WUaS for today's WUaS Monthly Business Meeting.

Hi !The last time I logged in, wikitree was empty. It has grown now so I could work on it now. For someone who believes in the creation of man (Adam) and lineages of Semitic people, genealogy can be categorised into 3 or 4 periods as per historians.
Adam to Abraham - Key figures are correct but major mistakes are obvious.
Abraham to Jesus Christ (referring to the period) - Mistakes might be present but some lineages might be accurate.
Jesus Christ to Today - Some lineages are accurate. This period is the best to work on.
For a code to be unique it should be tagged with biometrics at FBI verification levels. If not two people with similar patterns can be mistaken. Need to RnD on using a webcam for iris scan or using a computer scanner to scan a fingerprint. The other option might be to have a mile long code to represent the 7.5 B.Eg: SLWPCMBNG000000000001
Accreditation is quite useful when working with Commonwealth member states. If you can get accredited by one body mentioned in the UGC Sri Lanka site and you can cover many countries in Asia, Africa, Australia & Europe.
I had an email conversation with Moodle 4 Teachers on providing a free post graduate diploma for teachers (open shared content of MA in Teacher Education from the Open University of Sri Lanka. They have discontinued the programme). There are few more courses for teachers. If you approve the certificate can be assured by Sri Lanka WUaS and displayed on WUaS Sri Lanka page. Exemptions can be granted for students who pass an exam conducted by WUaS. This can be a separate project unrelated to MIT OCW centric.
The students could be proctored online for impersonation. Copying can be reduced by keeping the student occupied in the exam, maybe an MCQ type paper with 60 questions within 60 minutes. Once the student passes the certificate is issued. They normally issue a certificate once the learning outcomes are met. This might take off with a non-accredited, non-proctored and non-verified certificate from Freedom College (Nidahas Vidyalaya will be renamed).
Speaking of contact tracing it would be great to partner with Google as they have bigger dominance than Apple. If you like to start with tracing WUaS Alumni might be able to share a piece of code. It is not wiki based but googling might help.
Regards,
Rifai
Freedom College

HI Rifai, Partha, Peter,

Thanks again for your email, Rifai. Have posted below a conversation I had with WikiTree founder, and its lead developer, on Dec 14, 2020 (see videos of them) ... they're potential collaborators (WUaS and Wikidata), and via Wikidata in its 300 languages. WUaS donated itself to Wikidata in 2015 and got WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in 2017 (this is WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and planning to code, conceptually, for all 7.5 billion people on planet) but they're not yet interoperable.
ARe your interesting-

- WUaS is seeking to create a single realistic virtual earth at the cellular and atomic levels too - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click - with realistic avatar bots (living and past), of humans and all other species ever, and for genealogical research too. Big data project! But for matriculating WUaS students, and wiki teachers and learners as speakers of all 7,117 known living languages.
BRe your "Accreditation is quite useful when working with Commonwealth member states. If you can get accredited by one body mentioned in the UGC Sri Lanka site and you can cover many countries in Asia, Africa, Australia & Europe."
... Re World Univ & Sch accreditation-thinking presently, WUaS is conceiving of this as if a Sri Lankan student applies to and gets into MIT or Stanford on-the-ground (with their accreditations), travels to Cambridge or Palo Alto to study for 4 years, gets a hypothetical chemical engineering degree, for ex., and then returns to Sri Lanka, and takes a licensing exam there in Sinhala or English in order to be able to practice as a chemical engineer in Sri Lanka. WUaS accreditation in other countries in the future (and re a WUaS Sri Lanka law school's which we've already emailed about) is something for the future.
CRe your "approve the certificate," and "proctoring" ... WUaS is currently thinking in terms of edX courses in one way or another re WUaS degrees. (WUaS is considering modularity in these regards too - where a student could take a single edX course, brainstorming-wise, get an edX certificate, and have this course apply to their 40 courses necessary for a free-to-students' Bachelor degree; am not sure how the payment issue would work if the student wanted the edX certificate along the way to a degree, since payment to edX is involved if a student wants an edX certificate). WUaS, brainstorming-wise, is thinking in terms of the edX platform for test-taking, assessment etc. too.
DYes, this email address is already part of Google for Education, and G Suite: Having just got a monthly Google Maps' update of my trips when I've carried my smartphone I think - and re privacy questions - and re the Google Apple contact tracing project re the coronavirus pandemic, it looks like Google knows exactly where I've traveled in the past month, already ... https://www.google.com/maps/timeline?ved=0ENaiAggAKAA&pb=!1m2!2m1!1s2020-04&gid=118114165587746804948 ... Hmmm
EWUaS is a little Friends' oriented (unprogrammed Quakers, nontheist Friends, atheist Quakers / agnostic F/friends, and UU too) ... And with regard to genealogy, and DNA sampling too (per Ancestry. com, but which WikiTree doesn't do), we'll navigate the 3 monotheistic religions (C - M - J) accordingly. Heading also (way) beyond the 7 religions in Huston Smith's "The Religions of Man" first published around 1957.

PPSemails with WikiTree and Wikidata ...
Chris, Aleš, Markus, Denny, Lydia and All,
Magnus Sälgö just connected with me again in Telegram (see below) re SINGLE family tree questions in WikiTree, presumably for 7.5 billion people on the planet, and I wanted to share this with you, as well as let you know why else World Univ & Sch is seeking to develop, brainstorming-wise, with 7.5 billion people. I'm sorry that I don't know Bayesian statistics in these regards>

WUaS is seeking to plan for, brainstorming-wise, coding for all 7.5 billion people for the following reasons:

All 7.5 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item number (or PIN in the Wikidata ecosystem or similar) for

i) wiki Universitians in 7,111 known living languages, and matriculated students in all ~200 countries,

ii) Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records, with genetic therapies, and for molecular tele robotic surgery, for ex.,

iii) Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (and to alleviate poverty), and to DISTRIBUTE a single cryptocurrency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks (where the Euro is in 19 out of 28 EU countries, and backed by their central banks in one way or another) ... and potentially with UBI experiment recipients able, for example, to mine the "Mine Pi" cryptocurrency (as a mineable single cryptocurrency), developed by Stanford graduates, by clicking on the 'lightning button' brainstorming-wise. (See, too, European Central Bank head, Christine Lagarde here - https://twitter.com/ecb/status/1205225680453210112?s=20 )
iv) a single family tree for genealogy research as in WikiTree (https://www.wikitree.com, and see too World Family Tree - https://www.geni.com/worldfamilytree), and for aggregating DNA samples too (see item 2 again).(See, too, the WUaS Annual Meetings' Minutes https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/arabian-sand-gazelle-minutes-for-annual.html )
Magnus is raising quality and "verifiable in reliable sources" questions re approximately 600,000 entries that were recently added to WikiTree, and how bots didn't work out very well.
I'm including Peter Norvig here too since he may have great knowledge about how to explore proceeding with single WikiTree family tree questions with genetic data - and for all 7.5 billion people on planet earth, as well as re the above WUaS questions. Peter, you're a Bayesian statistician, aren't you? Whom else? Markus?
Thoughts, ideas, questions, clarifications ... ? Thank you.
Best,
Scott

14 Dec 2019 (from SF Bay Area)Thanks, Magnus - From WikiTree - https://www.wikitree.com/ - "Welcome to The Free Family Tree, growing stronger since 2008.
Together we're growing an accurate single family tree using DNA and traditional genealogical sources" ... Am curious how WikiTree is planning for a SINGLE family tree re dealing with large amounts of data (which machine learning thrives on), based on their history since '08. About 600,000 entries of 7.5 billion people on the planet is .008 %, and this seems like helpful quantification re aiming for 7.5 billion people in a single family tree, but I don't know Bayesian statistics which seems like it could help further significantly - and potentially with issues of verifiability esp. Mathematics can clear up messes, - especially if museum and university peoples could help with this. World Univ & Sch which donated itself to Wikidata in 2015 and received WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki as a consequence in 2017 aims for 7.5 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item # (or similarly named, such as PIN - like Personal Identification Number in the Wikidata system) for 4 reasons initially (see: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/arabian-sand-gazelle-minutes-for-annual.html). Will email that thread from a few weeks ago about all of this. Tack! Magnus

Psychotherapy, Psychiatry and Quakers / nontheist Friends ... and trying to post to the Nontheist Friends' Network web site in Britain

Trevor, Nontheist Friends' Network, and NtFs,
Thanks for opening this up, non-theisticallly Friendly-wise. I experimented further with your experiment, and attempted to post that which is below here - https://nontheist-quakers.org.uk/2020/05/11/nfn-website-news-as-home-page-posts/comment-page-1/. But both experiments didn't seem to work, and even after I logged into Wordpress.
Non-theistic Friendly greetings, Scott
I was very very impressed with adolescent psychiatrists Dr. Karriem Salaam a few years ago, and I'd think that Friends' Hospital in Philadelphia has many excellent head psychiatrists. The video of Dr. Salaam is impressive here in a related Tweet (from 9 Sep 2018):
"How to prepare your kids for life on their own ahead of college - from Friends Hospital in Philadelphia, one of America's oldest hospitals:Dr. Karriem Salaam gives some tips on preparing your children for life on their own. http://fox29.com/good-day/355005577-video… > https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School… ~"Have expanded the Tweets here in this related blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/05/great-blue-turaco-potential-benefits.html (see, too the 'Nontheist Friend' label as well as the 'Quaker' related labels)

Agenda & News ...

World University and School

0- Major online Universities in all ~200 countries accessible from here https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States (planned in ~200 nation states' main languages)- Wiki schools for open teaching & learning planned in 7117 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - where you, for example, can add a new academic or creative wiki subject - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - in an area you love).
Free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric online Bachelor, Ph.D., law and medical degrees, as well as I.B. high school diplomas planned, beginning this autumn with - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School.

1 World University and School emailed this letter to MIT President Rafael Reif - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/dear-mit-president-rafael-reif-possible.html - and as a consequence videoconferenced with MIT Professor and VP in the Office of Digital Learning, Sanjay Sarma, for 30 minutes on F, May 1, 2020. See, too:
"WUaS LiveStream M, May 11, 2020 - MIT collaborations as Harvard & MIT go online?" https://youtu.be/XYWHeG434xw (from  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdURAADdLc9ctxnbismtXzQ ).

2 With Professor Sanjay Sarma's interest in the many languages' focus of World University and School - India has 22 official languages - and in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, WUaS is seeking to explore further a way to expand our multiple language focus, as well as, conceptually, a CC-4 MIT OCW into MITx on edX approach, by building a platform in collaboration with MIT and Harvard's emerging online course platforms. WUaS is inquiring whether the MIT Office for Digital Learning might be able to bridge something in a new way in these regards, and make something happen collaboration-wise.

3WUaS is seeking to matriculate 500-2,000 undergraduates this autumn in English online from all ~200 countries, for free-to-students' Bachelor degrees that are CC-4 MIT OCW-centric. Students would register, sign up, and apply via - worlduniveristyandschool.org - and WUaS will seek reimbursement from all ~200 countries' departments of education per student per year, as we plan to offer online MIT or Stanford-caliber degrees.

4 WUaS seeks to add a money transfer mechanism for reimbursements, and as WUaS plans to build code for matriculating students in all ~200 countries' official languages, then also for speakers of all 7,117 known living languages as wiki teachers and learners, and then, conceptually, for each of all 7.5 billion people on the planet (also as wiki learners and teachers) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University. WUaS would likely begin this coding process in Wikidata's ~300 languages for something like every wiki WUaS teacher/learner a Wikidata Q-item # or a Wikidata PIN # ... (and which money transfer mechanism could work in numerous ways, eg for UBI experiments? Bookstore? In Quickbooks ? in the online teaching hospitals).

5WUaS is in communication with Nidahas Vidyālaya - Freedom College - නිදහස් විද්යාලය - in Sri Lanka (southeast of India) about online WUaS degrees there in the Sinhala language as well as in English.

See the beginning Sri Lanka World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka - and in the Sinhala language - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sinhala_language (planned in Sinhala, and in Tamil too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Tamil_language in Tamil itself).

Here is some of our correspondence thus far:- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/east-india-rosebay-expression-of.html- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/05/vernal-hanging-parrot-stanford-law.html
(Greetings to Nidahas Vidyālaya - Freedom College's founder Mohamed Rifai in Sri Lanka; WUaS is developing a similar approach in German and Greek - see: "WUaS LiveStream M, May 11, 2020 - MIT collaborations as Harvard & MIT go online?" https://youtu.be/XYWHeG434xw from  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdURAADdLc9ctxnbismtXzQ - and seeking potential heads in Chinese, Spanish, and other WUaS pilot university languages).

6World Univ & Sch was glad to learn in the Stanford Law CodeX presentation by Ivan Lee yesterday https://law.stanford.edu/2020/05/12/codex-meeting-may-14th-2020/ - https://twitter.com/CodeXStanford/status/1260997323284287489?s=20 - that the project he's working on recently added Thai language capabilities to the Chrome browser - thus I think completing all ~200 countries' main / official languages regarding information technologies on the web.
WUaS was also very glad to learn that Ivan Lee's datasaur.ai - "data labeling software for training natural language processing models, including ML-assisted labeling and workforce management features" - is offering their project for free to universities, and, again, World Univ & Sch is planning ~200 online universities in countries' main & official languages. Amazing, and thank you!

WUaS Corporation

A
The WUaS Press's financial report shows, percentage-wise, a tremendous increase over last month's revenue - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - https://twitter.com/WUaSPress.

BThe WUaS Corporation plans also to develop a payment money transfer mechanism which could work in numerous ways, e.g. for Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments to facilitate distribution of a single cryptocurrency backed by a large number of ~200 countries' central banks (post Euro in 19 out of 28 nation states). WUaS seeks also to list on the Silicon Valley long term stock market, and perhaps with regard to UBI experiments, as WUaS codes for all 7.5 billion people on the planet, (again probably in Wikidata's ~300 languages for something like every wiki WUaS teacher/learner a Wikidata Q-item # or a Wikidata PIN #) and in facilitating a single cryptocurrency. So WUaS seeks to facilitate UBI experiments for all 7.5 billion people in this 'WUaS coding moment' to alleviate poverty (via distributing single cryptocurrency).

C
This WUaS payment money transfer mechanism would also function in the 7,117 languages' WUaS bookstores/computer stores/robotic stores, as well as in WUaS hospital technologies' distribution centers - both on-the-ground and online - and potentially in Quickbooks too, for example.

Tym, Sid, David, Ken, Larry, MDs and All,
As a further followup from April 17, 2020 and regarding making online psychoanalysis and psychiatry available, I suppose it's especially here in Canyon 94516, for example, but also in Quaker circles, bagpiping circles, possibly in circles at Harbin Hot Springs, my ethnographic field site, and possibly on Cuttyhunk Island, MA as well - all somehow 'remote' places or groups 'apart' - that I see the potential benefits for individuals of online psychotherapy & psychiatry. And mobile technologies make it possible - in this time too of the coronavirus pan-demic - to potentially make available psychiatry both in the city, and in rural remote locations - and potentially highest quality psychotherapy as well! (I realize too that Harbin Hot Springs thinking - my actual < > virtual ethnographic field site might offer other completely different approaches to psychotherapy than may be offered in teaching universities' hospitals, in all ~200 countries, for example, - and which is interesting to learn from as well).

I've posted an email and some Tweeter posts below with many further resources and ideas in these regards, including Oregon Health & Sciences' University (for reference, but with nothing online presently) resources. How best to develop approaches that could help people online in these regards?

I've posted an email and some Tweeter posts below with many further resources and ideas in these regards, including Oregon Health & Sciences' University (for reference, but with nothing online presently) resources: Am hoping to create much online psychiatry in my big educational project - and potentially even an online California School of Psychoanalysis (post-Lacan, and post-Freud) in all languages - and also to begin to do research about this regarding language and cultural differences in all ~200 countries' official and main languages.
How best to graduate excellent Quaker, Non-theist Friend, and Unitarian psychiatrists in particular, and in many languages? Am posting below many Tweets about online psychiatry, psychotherapy and psychoanalysis ...
Do you think Oregon has success with psychoanalysis, or psychiatry, regarding graduates from OHSU in Portland, for example?). I just looked this department up, and found:
George Keepers, M.D. - https://www.ohsu.edu/school-of-medicine/psychiatry
We offer expert consultation, evaluation, and treatment for a wide variety of mental health conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, post-traumatic stress disorder, ADHD, and many others. We also provide outcome based measurement care to support patient centered best practice treatment. We have the resources of an academic health center to handle complex conditions that require ongoing psychotherapy, medication management, and options for treatment resistant depression such as Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). Our clinic also offers neuropsychological and pharmacogenetics testing.Outpatient Psychiatry ClinicsMedical Director: James Hancey, M.D.https://www.ohsu.edu/brain-institute/psychiatric-department-clinics-and-divisions
For a brief snapshot of psychiatry in Oregon today, too.
In my teaching of Yoga, I'd also seek to add a western psychiatric component to this (and potentially via WUaS especially).
