Hallowed ~ a new poem

Hi M,

Just wrote and published a new poem this weekend:

Pink flowering currant: Old mountain ridge California-style


Old mountain ridge
California-style,
Pink flowering currant
not in bloom,
in Huckleberry Botanic
Regional Preserve,
east of Berkeley,
I hike on
a hallowed tunnel-green
trail way,
nicely level,
in the amazing light
of afternoon.

(Non-theist Friend, atheist Quaker too!)

Am checking out the hallowed word as a friendly non-theist too :)

Am liking all the flowers and images of natural things I find in Wikipedia which I post in my blog daily - they're pretty. It's going to be a hot day here this afternoon. National Parks are free today too since it's their 103rd anniversary, so I may head to Muir Woods NP (where we walked a few years ago) and the San_Francisco_Maritime_National_Historical_Park
(which museum I've never been in, although I've been on its Balclutha ship which was made in Scotland in 1886) at the far end of Fisherman's wharf - also a NP.

What are you up to today?

L, Scott

A lovely poem.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much, Ma!

I don't think you've ever said anything about my poetry.

I just added this link from Google Street View to the poem -
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Huckleberry+Botanic+Regional+Preserve/@37.8427579,-122.1949477,3a,75y,160h,90t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipM3dV0EfVZZEhw-LzwyJWb02Cv2xeI3V0KBBrYV!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipM3dV0EfVZZEhw-LzwyJWb02Cv2xeI3V0KBBrYV%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-0-ya90-ro-0-fo100!7i7168!8i3584!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x8be097cc35534266!8m2!3d37.8438698!4d-122.1954765 -
which the Web makes possible in great new ways! While you can turn 360 degrees around here, one still can't 'walk' along a path (that I found) in ways you can in other Google Street Views. But this will come ... great to be able to enter from a poem into the actual world it depicts ! Or? :)

You can travel in different ways in Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve from here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/08/pink-flowering-currant-old-mountain.html - however :)

Love, Scott

Thinking about the process of writing these poems here ...

How to get to 'hallowed' in poetry in a virtual world ...?

Am missing Harbin Hot Springs a bit, but seeking to create a virtual Harbin for online visiting (*and so much more).

to Larry

Dear Larry,

Thanks too for this email communication - https://twitter.com/MIT/status/1164680437345730560 - about a kind of atrocity, and how MIT handles this, - from MIT President Rafael Reif himself. World Univ & Sch has long not been able to communicate with President Reif, and would seek to do so much more in the future - and perhaps begin to become financially operational in the process.

Glad WUaS is Friendly/NtF/Quaker-informed both in terms of ethics, as well as financially. At bottom, here's Friends' Fiduciary's expense ratios for a variety of their Quaker mutual funds - http://www.friendsfiduciary.org/our-funds/investment-performance/ - with The Quaker Index Fund operating "with a tiered fee schedule of 0.30% (30 basis points) on the first $5 million, 0.25% (25 bps) on the next $5 million, and 0.20% (20 bps) on balances above $10 million" which at 10 million is close to the socially responsible Vanguard's FTSE index fund's expense ratio of .20 https://investor.vanguard.com/mutual-funds/profile/VFWIX - and a little above Vanguard's S&P index fund's expense ratio of .14 or .04% - https://investor.vanguard.com/mutual-funds/profile/VFINX.

Per the WUaS Minutes of 8/17/19 - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2019/07/minutes-for-wuass-open-monthly-business.html - it would be great to explore a UBI as a way to alleviate poverty and distribute a single digital currency backed somehow by many of the ~200 countries' central banks.

So sorry for the victims of J.E. What an extraordinarily crazy situation. (And glad to have been a whistle-blower at SF QMeeting in these regards too - perhaps protecting some children even).

How best to communicate further with MIT President Rafael Reif about some of these related questions?

Sincerely, Scott

Thanks so much, Peter, for your great World University and School Logos and updates thereof.  
Am working on updating these Logos on WUaS web sites for both wings:
http://worlduniversityandschool.org

Now how to build out these two web sites / WINGS / separate legal entities in the Google ecosystem - and from FIRST "Google My Business" which the WUaS Non-profit is in as of yesterday - https://g.page/world-university-and-school?share - (and importantly because WUaS is in Google for Nonprofits).
Am including as attachments the two simple idea-rich 'header images' which are on WUaS Twitters:

'WUaS Press Corporation Bookstore Landscape'https://twitter.com/WUaSPress

Hi Konrad, Keith and Govind, 
Looking forward to the Forum for Advancing Reed - https://www.reed.edu/advancing-reed/ - in September. 
And great to share a table with you at Reed Reunions this past June, Keith and Govind. Konrad and Govind, I'd like to introduce you to one another: Govind is on the World University and School Board, if you don't know each other. Konrad (https://iris.reed.edu/directory/alum/111574) is a Trustee at Reed, on the left in the picture below. Govind (https://iris.reed.edu/directory/alum/124722), will you be there at Reed's FAR? Keith?  
Re FAR, am exploring in writing here how World University and School might be of benefit to Reed - and potentially re careers for Remedies.
First, World University and School would like to explore offering a required Hum 110 course online - inspiring especially - that we might call Hum 101 and also for developing the conference method online (in group video to begin) at World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - and eventually in 200 countries' official languages. So WUaS would seek to hire, for example, to hire Reedies who have gone on to graduate school to be graduate student instructors in this as WUaS develops.  
Second, WUaS would like to offer graduate school opportunities to Reedies - and for online Ph.D. degrees, as well as online MD and Law degrees, and eventually in ~200 nation states' languages, online. WUaS is in the process of licensing for Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees with the state of CA's BPPE presently. 
Third, WUaS would like to hire faculty and staff eventually from among Reedies. 
Fourth, WUaS also in 2017 became a second parallel legal entity - the WUaS Corporation - which is a for-profit general stock company. And WUaS would like to explore collaborating with FAR in developing this both online and on-the-ground with time. Reed could advance far with this wing, especially - and re collaboration! 
Fifth, coding opportunities at World University and School are enormous for Reedies! (WUaS is quite Google-centric, as well as Wikidata-centric). 
Have just added some of this to Reed's IRIS in my networking fields too re:
Reed Networking in IRIS alumni directory ...


Expanded description of your workPlease describe how you would like to help Reed students and alumni.Areas of interest (Based on the Center for Life Beyond Reed’s Communities of Purpose)Areas of researchProfessional associationsCertifications and specialized trainingConferences attending/ attended
Keith (https://iris.reed.edu/directory/alum/111534), let's talk further about the development of a realistic virtual earth for bioinformatics with time (am thinking Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth ... with CRISPR and Tensorflow +). 
WUaS is currently seeking funding to begin licensing with the state of California, as you can see in the WUaS Monthly Business Meeting Minutes from 8/17/19:
https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2019/08/wuas-minutes-for-17-aug-2019-coinzoom.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/08/gymnadenia-nigra-orchid-wuas-minutes.html ~
In addition to World Univ & Sch seeking the initial ~$5,000 to begin licensing with the state of California's Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE), WUaS is sekeing concurrently the initial ~ $12,000 + monies to begin the accreditation process, and then initial monies to begin to hire student interns such as Reedies, to develop WUaS, as well as financial commitments of monies for licensing, accreditation and hiring in 2020 and beyond.

So, am curious about ways to advance Reed by collaboration with World Univ & Sch. There's remarkable FAR growth potential here exp.
See some of you in person on the weekend of 14 September, and possibly some of you online too then! :)
All the best, Scotthttps://iris.reed.edu/directory/alum/123192

Dear Mitchell (and Larry),

Thanks for your call today just after I sent out the email with World Univ & Sch's Minutes, Mitchell, from Canada. I'll be available to talk at 7pm PT this evening, or 9am tomorrow. From your telephone message, I wasn't clear whether you might be interested in investing in a World University and School UBI bank card in all ~200 countries, as we code for people the same number of countries and in all 7,111 known living languages - so planning for all 7.5 billion people - or what - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University. But it's the legitimacy of a relationship with a state entity, such as the state of California (with its Stockton UBI experiment) that's important for WUaS - as well as the goal of alleviating poverty. Hoping too to distribute a single digital currency with blockchain backed in some way by a large number of central banks via UBI (the bank of California / Sacramento the state capitol may be the first such bank). All speakers in 7,111 languages are potential wiki teachers and learners at WUaS - our World University and School starting place. 
All the best, Scott

Dear Larry,

Maybe you saw in one of the bank statements I sent that I received ~ $3.49 in royalty for something book related from Amazon, but it doesn't show up yet on the Kindle report where it says it might! 
Thanks for participating in WUaS monthly business meeting on Saturday, and sending out the WUaS MBM 8/17 minutes soon.

Just registered for a Google for Nonprofits' workshop online on September 10th -  "Upcoming training on managing volunteers with Google products, a new Google for Nonprofits Community, and more" - and, AMAZINGLY, got WUaS listed on Google Search ... and big step in WUaS's platform development:

Added Peter's new Logo to this! Thank you again!
Quite glad to be in Google for Nonprofits, and now in the new "Google My Business" software in the developing Google Ecosystem for WUaS, which we talked about at MBM ... but not sure how to handle their "Google Ad" - with a $100 credit for ads - approach in this, which appears to be central to "Google My Business"  - for connecting with customers! All this entrepreneurial language in an online developing university! Their system keeps sending next steps, which is helpful, as if a Google person is guiding the development of WUaS in "Google My Business" but I think these emails are at least in part AI generated.
Sincerely, Scott

Dryas octopetala (Mountain Avens): Reed College Weekend FAR (Forum for Advancing Reed) & Quaker friends in Oregon! *** FAR CollaborationS with WORLD UNIVERSITY AND SCHOOL - re Ph.D.s, Medical Degrees, and Law Degrees? Interns and Graduate Students? + + +

Wow, Carl and Trudy!

Thanks! Will tell you more about the Reed FAR gathering while in Portland! Sofa or Thermarest on floor sounds great! Hello Trudy! Very nice to e-meet you here! Looking forward to meeting you in person soon!

I recall your thinking re Friends' World College and in many other ways in contributing to World University and School as a Board member, Carl! Thank you again so much. Actual real-world grounding presently is taking the form of focusing on 1) state of California's Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education licensing - for online MIT OCW-centric free-to-students' Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees in English - for prospective matriculating students from all around the world in all ~200 nation states. World Univ & Sch's donated ourselves to Wikidata in 2015 for co-development, and got Miraheze Mediawiki as a new wiki in 2017 as a consequence, and importantly will get 2) Wikipedia/Wikidata's ~300 languages working with MIT OCW in its 5 languages. After BPPE licensing, languages are our 2nd real world grounding. I suspect you've been glancing occasionally at the monthly 3) financial reports / budgets in the WUaS News and Agendas; and if I recall correctly you attended 1 or 2 online monthly business meetings. (Trudy - do you have roots in the Society of Friends?) This is our 3rd real world grounding, and with Larry Viehland as CFO, but there's not enough money to do any budgetary planning, or to hire staff. WUaS will build on this real world grounding of a 4) core curriculum from MIT OCW - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VRHhXYsk-V9lvSh5onaU2hnEhwoapSN7HyBK1P09LIk/edit?usp=sharing accessible worlduniversityandschool.org . And this may look much like an edX platform eventually within the Google ecosystem / Wikidata platform (eventually in 300 languages). And as you may have read re actual real world grounding, WUaS is 5) seeking our 2nd undergraduate matriculating class for free-to-students' online Bachelor degrees in 2020, as we begin the licensing process. This hasn't been a wiki-wiki (fast in Hawaiian process), but Wikidata / Wikipedia also is developing 6) communities of PEOPLE in about ~200 of these ~300 languages, a significant real world grounding, which WUaS seeks to build on. The real world is diverse with languages, and the web translates these remarkably! I think the last real world WUaS grounding I'll mention is TWO legal entities we've now created, circling back to the realities of the law / licensing - A) 501 c 3 World University and School, and B) a for profit general stock company, the WUaS Corporation (or Press), both legal entities in the state of California, and the 501 c 3 being a federal US designation.

What's failing the real world grounding for WUaS is actual revenue streams - to be able to reach out to students! Hoping to build in a Quaker way both with increasing numbers of matriculating students and with increasing revenues to educate these students, not necessarily one by one or brick by brick, but certainly in f/Friendly ways at World University. So on the one hand, WUaS has 1-7 positive real world groundings, and, on the other hand, WUaS has -1--2 negative real world groundings. Infrastructure-wise, this translates to A) Google platform (think edX with MIT OCW),  B) CA's BPPE licensing (and eventually with WASC senior accreditation probably), and C) revenue streams hopefully from government reimbursement from all ~200 countries around the world, and all 50 states in the US +! And I think with revenue, World Univ & Sch will be able to do Friendly outreach to students! Ah, real world grounding!


Thank you and looking forward to seeing you, Carl, and meeting you Trudy! Hoping to arrive on Thursday September 12th, and depart on Sunday the 14th, if that time frame works for you! Thank you for your kind offer of Quaker hospitality!

Friendly regards, Scott

Hi Carl,

Greetings from the SF Bay Area! Thank you so much for being on the World University and School Board a few years' ago (see, too, "World University and School's Board Emeriti" here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation). How are you?

I'm thinking about attending the Reed College FAR weekend on the weekend of Saturday, September 14, 2019 (formerly the Reed 'Volunteer' weekend), and I'm writing to inquire if I might possibly please stay with you?

I'm seeking to explore collaboration potentials with Reed FAR (https://www.reed.edu/advancing-reed/index.html) re World University and School as well especially. - and in planning for online free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric accrediting PhD, Law and Medical Schools, first in English - and as career opportunities (re the Reed Alumni Career Network too).

Am planning at this point to drive north from the SF Bay Area.

WUaS has come so far, but has generated no monies yet to speak of whatsoever, and no graduate students yet either as we begin BPPE licensing and WASC senior accrediting. So I think networking at Reed FAR could be good/great for this. It would also be great to fly to Portland one of these years for Reunions or FAR.

Am active a fair amount on the Non-theist Friends' email list these days, which also has a role at FGC (and Pacific Yearly Meeting is joining Friends' General Conference I've heard, and after not being a part of this organization or its predecessor since the 1940s or so! Big Friendly changes afoot!).

Hoping your summer is going well, Carl, and that it's coming to a close in a great way. It would be great to see you as well.

Friendly regards, Scott

Carl Thatcher
9:07 AM (9 hours ago)
to trudynutter, me

Definitely, Scott!  For which nights are you planning on being here?  I would love to hear about the Reed convocation you're attending.  As you know, my sofa accommodations here are not luxurious, but they may fit your needs for just the weekend.  Trudy Nutter, my fiancee/partner is here also.  She's a former UofO alum and very needed addition to my life and this household. And she's a good cook too!  I think you'll like her also.

Perhaps you remember--address is 1407 SE 130th Ave., and we're just south of Stark St., north of Division.  On street parking ok.  We don't get around much anymore, being official homebodies!  But so far, being 70+, (just myself; Trudy's only 65) we remain healthy and active.

As you remember, I was quite excited and involved with the dream we both had of founding an actual institution for world-based post-secondary education.  I still share that dream.  But I felt forced to abandon your efforts then once I realized that you had no actual real-world grounding for them and seemed uninterested in creating any of that beyond wiki-this and that!  So perhaps you have moved beyond the wiki-wiki stuff and have greater interest in what it would take to have a real-world institution??  I'm thinking of definite outlines of a business plan, like staff, budget, core curriculum with means, physical location(s), recruitment, actual goals and timelines?  For me, these would be first and sine qua non priorities to establish in any realistic effort toward the dream.  So, let's talk!  But I can't be on board with the wiki-this and -that stuff with none of the real-world grounding I have mentioned.

I guess that I shouldn't be surprised--it seems like the whole world sometimes is "off-beam"--not connected with real-world necessities as I see them.  So why not just live in the fantasy "sandbox"?  But I am functionally unable to go there!  I still believe in a Quaker ideal of making a better real world, one brick at a time!  You?

Best, Carl

Thank you, Peter!


5In 1) World Univ & Sch seeking an information technology team to help code WUaS newly potentially in the Google Ecosystem (and possibly in Wikibase / Wikidata too),  WUaS will attend Reed College's Forum for Advancing Reed (FAR) over the weekend of Saturday, September 14th. Part of this process will likely involve beginning to code for the 2) WUaS Corp / Press's online bookstore, computer store, robotics' store, hospital technologies' store + (see 14 planned revenue streams - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html).

The WUaS Press - https://twitter.com/WUaSPress (as distinct from https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch) - will publish its 4th book this autumn, "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually!: How different it is to soak at Harbin, than to realize it in virtual reality." See, for example, https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/cuttyhunk-west-end-ponds-to-dance-or.html. WUaS is seeking to create a realistic virtual earth and realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs as actual-virtual, physical-digital STEM ethnographic field site, as part of this overarching project.

WUaS has reached out to CoinZoom founder, Todd Crosland, re the possibility of planning, conceptually, for coding for WUaS learners and teachers and students in all ~200 countries and in all 7,111 known living languages - and therefore plan for all 7.5 billion people - in exploring developing a single cryptocurrency with blockchain backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks (think 19/28 Eurozone countries), and with our WUaS law schools in each of ~200 nation states' official languages. And WUaS is also seeking to explore distributing such a single cryptocurrency to all 7.5 billion people via Universal Basic Income experiments to explore ways to alleviate poverty. See the following correspondence:



CoinZoom Launches Visa Card for Cryptocurrency


Dear Todd, and Larry,

Thanks and fascinating. And congratulations. World Univ & Sch is seeking to plan for WUaS learners and teachers and students in all ~200 countries and in all 7,111 known living languages - and therefore plan for all 7.5 billion people - in exploring developing a single cryptocurrency with blockchain backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks (think 19/28 Eurozone countries), and with our WUaS law schools in each of ~200 nation states' official languages. And WUaS is also seeking to distribute such a single cryptocurrency to all 7.5 billion people via Universal Basic Income experiments. Perhaps your CoinZoom Visa Card could be a vehicle for this, and thus benefit from related growth. 7.5 billion people is an enormous market. Looking forward to communicating further about this with time. 
I'd like to introduce you both to one another here. Larry Viehland is the chair of the Board at 1) 501 c 3 World University and School - https://www.guidestar.org/profile/27-3105368 - and the acting chair of the Board at the 2) WUaS Corporation (a for profit general stock legal entity) - https://twitter.com/WUaSPress (see, too - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html) but where we haven't become financially operational yet. See, too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation. Todd is the Founder & CEO CoinZoom, a global digital currency exchange; buy, sell, and spend Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and more. See Todd's recent Visa CoinZoom Card information below. 
Best, Scott

Hi Scott,
I am excited to share that through my latest venture, CoinZoom, we have launched the CoinZoom Visa Card, allowing customers to instantly convert their crypto balances to fiat and spend at over 53 million Visa merchants worldwide. CoinZoom is a U.S. regulated cryptocurrency exchange that offers services in buying, selling, and spending bitcoin, ripple, ethereum, and other top digital currency pairs. 
The CoinZoom Visa Card is linked directly to customer accounts, enabling them to pre-select the wallet they wish to debit when they use the debit card. The card utilizes the latest technology in credit cards, including making payments through Chip, Contactless and PIN, as well as cash withdrawals from ATMs. 
You can learn more about the launch of the CoinZoom Visa card here. 
Don't miss the opportunity to be one of the top 200 people who can register for early access and refer the most friends to CoinZoom, to win either a CoinZoom Black, Platinum, Gold, or Preferred Visa card.
Best,
Todd CroslandCEO and FounderCoinZoom
