Planning our WUaS WIKI criteria for adding and with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning ahead - a first set of AI Universities?



WUaS - World University and School worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com

2:58 PM (42 minutes ago)
to LarryLydiaDennyEdwardMariannicoledgarrison26Juliette
Hi Juliette, (and All),

Thanks for asking: 

Would World Univ & Sch like your BetterHelp "writers to edit the wiki article directly, and provide links to the sources you included (Marie's articles, my fellowship video, and the Cornell article)?" and 

"May we please also include a link to our article database (https://www.betterhelp.com/advice) and start page (https://www.betterhelp.com/start)?" - 

and for your interest. CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch is a work in progress - and WUaS is planning to be in all ~200 countries' main/official languages, probably with the 'subject headings' in our SUBJECT TEMPLATE translated with machine learning (eg here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE). LIKE WIKIPEDIA as a 'front end' (which is curated by stewards per a developing set of guidelines for them), WUaS may also have info boxes such as this simple one here (but which will grow more complex) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychotherapy - and both the subject templates and these 'info boxes,' for example, will be interoperable with Wikidata/Wikibase structured knowledge database, which is both Wikipedia's "back end" as well as machine readable.  

FYI, World Univ & Sch donated itself to Wikidata (in its ~300 languages) in 2015, received the WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki as a front end in 2017, and they're not yet interoperable. But all of this will inform WUaS's developing editorial guidelines. To summarize World Univ & Sch, on the one hand, WUaS seeks to offer free-to-students' online CC-4 MIT OCW-centric, licensing, Bachelor's (and other) degrees (in ~200 countries' official languages), and on the other hand, WUaS seeks to facilitate editable wiki schools for open teaching and learning - in all 7111 known living languages. 

So, Juliette, have you ever added to a Wikipedia page before, simply by clicking 'edit' this page? Here are some beginning Wikipedia guidelines - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view - for your consideration. And here you can find criticism of Wikipedia's somewhat central "notability" criteria, based on verifiability, and much more here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Wikipedia . And here is a Wikipedia simplified ruleset - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simplified_ruleset - 


Core content policies
Other content policies
  1. Neutral point of view: Write from a neutral point of view. Make a fair representation of the world as reliable sources describe it. All articles should be balanced to convey an impression of the various points of view on a subject. Some views may get more attention than others, depending on the attention they receive in reliable sources. Wikipedia has no "opinion" of its own; it just accurately summarizes reliable sources.
  2. Verifiability: Articles should contain only material that has been published by reliable sources. These are sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, like newspapers, academic journals, and books. Even if something is true our standards require it be published in a reliable source before it can be included. Editors should cite reliable sources for any material that is controversial or challenged, otherwise it may be removed by any editor. The obligation to provide a reliable source is on whoever wants to include material.
  3. No original research: Articles may not contain previously unpublished arguments, concepts, data, or theories, nor any new analysis or synthesis of them if it advances a position. In other words, you can't make a point that hasn't already been directly made somewhere else in a reliable source. You can summarize, but it has to be based in the sources.
  4. Be bold in updating pages! Go ahead, it's a wiki! No mistake can break Wikipedia, because any edit can be undone. Encourage others, including those who disagree with you, to likewise be bold! If you find yourself disagreeing with someone's boldness, or they with yours, discuss it on the talk page. That's it.

But Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, while World Univ & Sch is an online group of wiki universities and schools, so is probably going to develop a different rule set ... And WUaS may seek to include, or be open to, original research, for example. 


So, yes, in principle, writers could, as you ask, "edit the wiki article directly, and provide links to the sources you included (Marie's articles, my fellowship video, and the Cornell article) ... ?," all of which I find to be helpful and smart potential resources; - but probably not your BetterHelp writers (see, too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/owl-online-psychoanalysis.html, including citation practices for Marie's psychiatry articles).

And while I think WUaS, like Wikipedia, is aiming in general to stay away from 'advertising' in its many forms, newly construed on the Web (and newly too with machine learning), I notice that forms of what I'd call  'advertising' have crept in to Wikipedia, for example, in listing companies (per its 'notability' policy), I think, but it's also per Wikipedia's selective, possibly inconsistent, guidelines, decided on by Wikipedia. But learning from Wikipedia's Psychotherapy page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychotherapy - and that BetterHelp itself is a Wikipedia article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BetterHelp - and with regard to World Univ & Sch's Psychotherapy page (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychotherapy), I think you'll see that BetterHelp isn't listed on Wikipedia's 'Psychotherapy' or 'Mental Health' pages, by way of further comparison. WUaS may follow suit in these regards. 

I'm including here Larry Viehland, who's the chair of the WUaS Board, and involved in some of this thinking-through process. And I'm including here Lydia Pintscher too, who is the Product Manager for Wikidata in its ~300 languages and as it grows its far-reaching structured knowledge database information technologies, and based in Berlin - since new WUaS rules would affect how WUaS emerges from Wikidata differentially from Wikipedia from Wikidata. And I'm including Denny Vrandečić, founder and chief ontologist, of Wikidata, who might have great ideas about all these questions. Juliette, would you like to help develop some guidelines further - and with regards to creating new great policies that would be fair, consistent, open and machine readable eventually? Lydia & Denny - what thoughts do you have in these regards? Juliette, I think World Univ & Sch will seek also to bring up these questions too at WUaS Monthly Business Meeting (3rd Saturdays), next on February 15th. 

In addition, I think WUaS would be interested in exploring communicating with you further regarding possible, actual, mental health counseling online - under the supervision of World University and School's medical doctors (of which Ed Smyth MD above is a founding Board member) - for matriculating Bachelor's degree students in the autumn of 2020, first in English, and along the lines of Cornell, your, Juliette, alma mater's, approach to student psychotherapy and counseling (eg in the web sites I shared with you). In addition, too, in these regards, to WUaS exploring facilitating online Lacanian psychoanalysis, WUaS may also seek to develop an operant condition approach (eg BF Skinner-informed) approach to mental health - https://youtu.be/ckNB9lAPhf0 from KP-affiliated MD Jeffery Walsh - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzr5henOY-jyfLaREAc0_1g?reload=9&reload=9 ). 

Thank you for your interest and questions, Juliette, and I look forward to hearing further from you, as we perchance co-think these questions through further. 

With best wishes, Scott

P.S. Again: I looked up 'Cornell University student mental health services' and found these following helpful perspectives regarding World Univ & Sch in the autumn. 


Highlights:

  • Students are now able to access care when they need it, through 25-minute counseling sessions that can often be scheduled the same day. 
  • Students have increased flexibility in deciding which mental health provider they see and when: they can select a counselor based on convenience or availability (i.e., first available appointment or a visit with a provider of their choosing).
  • A student’s first visit is a 25-minute session during which the counselor will focus on meeting the student’s immediate needs, learning about the student’s goals for treatment, and making a recommendation for next steps, if needed (e.g., a 25-minute or 50-minute follow-up appointment, group counseling, or referrals to other resources on or off campus).

Mental Health Care

Our Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) and primary care medical services teams work together to provide confidential, professional support for Cornell students. 
Common reasons students seek include care include:
  • Stress & anxiety
  • Depression & loneliness
  • Trauma or grief
  • Adjustment challenges
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Questions about identity
  • Managing existing mental health conditions
Not a student? Please see our Who We Serve page.

Services

See information below about …

Individual counseling . . .


Individual Counseling

Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) offers a safe place to talk with someone privately about any concern. Our services are confidential, and designed to help you process and problem-solve regarding issues that may be affecting your quality of life and ability to learn.
Our 35+ professional therapists include psychologists and clinical social workers from diverse cultural and clinical backgrounds who are trained and experienced in dealing with the wide range of mental health concerns faced by college students. Counselors work closely with our on-staff psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners to support students who may need medication evaluation and management. 

* New as of Fall 2019 *

  • CAPS is now offering more rapid access to care, with 25-minute counseling visits that are often available within the next 24 hours. (Follow-up appointments, when needed, may be 25 minutes or 50 minutes.)
  • Students no longer need to schedule a phone assessment as the first step to getting care. Instead, just schedule an in-person visit online or by phone (see below).
  • You can now decide which provider you want to see, and when.
  • There are now more options for follow-up care and other types of mental health support. 

Appointments

25-minute counseling appointments

These counseling sessions are designed to address your immediate needs and provide short-term guidance and support. View our counselor bios here.
You may schedule 25-minute counseling visits as needed. If you want to see the same counselor again, you may work with them to schedule a follow-up appointment (see below). Counselors may also recommend group counseling, psychiatry, behavioral health consultation, or other Cornell Health, campus, or community resources.
Schedule a 25-minute counseling appointment:
  • Log in to myCornellHealth (24/7) and click “Appointments” 
  • Or call 607-255-5155 (#3) or stop by Cornell Health during business hours
It's particularly the language of all of the above and with regards to Cornell students that I find helpful regarding prospective students at World Univ & Sch.

And edX CAREERS - https://www.edx.org/careers (founded by MIT and Harvard) - just newly posted this - that when you work for edX you work for MIT: "Did we mention you'll be working for MIT and enjoying some of the best perks and benefits around?"

See: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/panthera-stanford-law-school-codex-mtg.html



"Thanks so much again for your timely and topical Law Pilot courses' CodeX presentation. Perhaps since Stanford just became a member in edX (Harvard and MIT founded educational platform based in the US and in Cambridge, MA), collaboration potential between Stanford Law, edX and LawPilot re platform will emerge. Both Law Pilots' lawyers in various countries, and regarding translation / tweaking, might be able to develop in this multilingual platform (& probably with developing machine learning).

Re crypto, yes it could be great to schedule a call. Brainstorming-wise, how would Law Pilot courses re GDPR and EU 'money laundering' directive work to regulate a post-Euro, coded-by-Stanford graduates, cryptocurrency called 'Pi' - which is mineable with algorithms? (Cryptocurrencies in general - eg Bitcoin, Etherium, Ripple, etc. +1000s - are potentially mineable, but Pi was coded specifically for end user mineability, by hitting the 'lightning' button). Could 'Pi' come after the Euro and the dollar in all ~200 countries' official languages - and how would this be regulated, and what would courses on an edX platform or a LawPilot platform look like? More about Pi here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/ligers-and-tiligers-and-panthera-leo-x.html - and in the 'UBI' label in my blog here.

And how would the trajectory of money laundering directives in Europe, brainstorming-wise, affect regulation of, and courses about, the 'Pi' cryptocurrency, planned to come after the Euro in 19 out of 28 nation states, (and after the dollar), via regulation - as well?"

Ma′unga Terevaka volcano: "Honey in the Bag" album in A, Scottish small pipes' chanters in B flat and D * * * Scott MacLeod solo album "Honey in the Bag" tune list

$

Hi, Finlay (MacDonald), and Roddy (MacLeod),

Thanks for your email, and for checking on Monday morning about your availability for a lesson (before you leave for the States on Wednesday?) Tuesday? Looking forward to it, if we can fit a lesson in. I'm emailing both of you with regard to my remaining 6 lessons with the NPC (since you might have some good ideas about this too, Roddy - as the NPC's principal).

In addition to taking lessons in preparation for my upcoming "Honey in the Bag" album, which I'm planning to do fairly traditionally (see these tunes - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/gobies-scott-macleods-honey-in-bag-cd.html), playing MSR HJ slow airs etc., on a SSP A chanter, I'm also interested in learning to play the Scottish small pipes' chanters in B flat and D, and

1) with GHB sheet music (let's call this in the key of A mixolydian - with 2 sharps in the staff key notation - see below), as well as

2) Open Band (Berkeley) Scottish Country Dance band sheet music in multiple keys for the sheet music staff notation (but mostly in the keys of A, D, G, C and B flat in the sheet music staff notation). (See - https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand).

So I'd be interested in learning which NPC teachers might have experience with these other Scottish small pipes' chanters and keys. If Mr. Nevans (re his playing "small pipes, and also an expert on theory!!!") is one possibility, great - but if there are other NPC teachers who have explicit experience with this, I'd be interested in learning of them too. And, to share a concrete practical example, playing "The Battle of Waterloo" tune works on the A chanter and on the D chanter - and I could use the GHB sheet music in A to play both. Why and how to think about this? (The 4 drones of my Walsh Scottish small pipes, with a combination drone, and the ability to produce a fifth sound-wise, or chord-wise, raise another set of related questions I'd be interested in conversing about with a potential NPC teacher as well). (And could I even possibly explore become a National Piping Centre online Scottish small pipes' teacher at some point in the future - and with these foci too?). Thank you!

Cheers, Scott

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

The bagpipe scale is based on the Mixolydian mode or scale. This scale is based on a major scale but with a minor seventh. Specifically the bagpipe uses the A Mixolydian mode. This is related to the key of D Major and contains the notes, G, A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G, and A.

Here are my off-the-cuff suggestions for a beginning soloist for these tune types. Keep in mind that bands and more advanced soloists will often play these faster - especially the marches.

Slow Marches, airs & waltzes ........... 45-60 bpm
2/4 marches .................................. 58-68 (maybe up to 74 if not competing)
6/8 marches .................................. 55-68
4/4 marches .................................. 74-80
Reels ........................................... 74-80
Strathspeys .................................. 108-120
Jigs ............................................. 108-120
Hornpipes ..................................... 74-82

Hope that helps.

Western Honey Bee re upcoming 'Honey in the Bag' Scottish small pipes' album ....



Scott MacLeod 
9:58 AM (5 hours ago)
to Connor, Andrew, Roddy, Finlay

Hi Connor,

I'm writing to inquire about Skype lessons with you on my Scottish small pipes. How might this work best? Would you be available to meet some afternoon at 4 or 5 pm, Glasgow time, in Skype (which is 8am or 9am in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I live - in Canyon CA 94516)? Or another time? Am seeking to develop my "Honey in the Bag" Scottish small pipes' album and CD (on my A chanter), as well as experiment playing B flat and D chanters and with the Combo Drone on my Walsh SSP and for a Scottish Country Dance band I play in in Berkeley. Thanks very much.  (I've lived 2 full years in Edinburgh, studying at Fettes College in the 1st year 6th in ~76-77 and at the University of Edinburgh in 2003-2004 in the School of Celtic and Scottish Studies, and where Gary West was my tutor, so - like you, Andrew, with CMU / Pittsburgh PA / USA culture, am a bit familiar with Scottish culture). Thank you.

Best regards, Scott

PS
FYI, Connor, here are some recent related emails to Roddy and Finlay in these regards:

Thanks so much, Finlay and Roddy,

I think I'd like to explore taking the next 5 lessons or so with Connor Sinclair, as a young world class piper (with a music degree from the Glasgow Royal Conservatoire in piping in part too) who also plays the flute and whistles in an ensemble / traditional music group (where many keys are played here by Connor Sinclair on the flute and whistle - https://gnossmusic.com/media/ :). And he's won the Gold medal at the Northern Meeting (https://www.pipesdrums.com/article/northern-meeting-2019-day-1-silver-medal-goes-to-mackenzie-mccready-takes-a-msr/) recently. I think he'd be good at experimenting with the Scottish small pipes on D and B flat chanters too (and with Combo Drone also), which could be enjoyable for him as well. I'll email him to inquire.

I created an initial structure for the tunes I'm planning to play on my Honey in the Bag upcoming album - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/maunga-terevaka-volcano-honey-in-bag.html?m=0 - which is another big step in this process.

Am seeking to make my upcoming "Honey in the Bag" a world class Scottish small pipes' album. Here's Stuart Liddell :), and where this Piping Live performance is a kind of model of the playing old favorites amazingly well - and for my upcoming album -

https://youtu.be/tuhlcFj8NUw -


https://youtu.be/gOU0OrqXSHU - in these regards. Am also taking a bit of an "The Ascension of Inveraray & District Pipe Band - 2004-2013" approach to my "Honey in the Bag" album -

https://youtu.be/wbikiMAjhDM.

In an innovative way, am wondering too about founding an online Scottish small pipes quartet in real real time, possibly with A. Bova and D. Nevins, when information technology from Google, for example, for this comes along. What do you think? Will broach this with all of you.

Thanks so much. (And bon voyage, Finlay!).

Best regards, Scott

PPS
In addition to taking lessons in preparation for my upcoming "Honey in the Bag" album, which I'm planning to do fairly traditionally (see these tunes - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/gobies-scott-macleods-honey-in-bag-cd.html), playing MSR HJ slow airs etc., on a SSP A chanter, I'm also interested in learning to play the Scottish small pipes' chanters in B flat and D, and

1) with GHB sheet music (let's call this in the key of A mixolydian - with 2 sharps in the staff key notation - see below), as well as

2) Open Band (Berkeley) Scottish Country Dance band sheet music in multiple keys for the sheet music staff notation (but mostly in the keys of A, D, G, C and B flat in the sheet music staff notation). (See - https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand).

... To share a concrete, practical example, playing "The Battle of Waterloo" tune works on the A chanter and on the D chanter with the same fingering and sounds good - and so I could use the same GHB sheet music in A to play both. Why and how to think about this? (The 4 drones of my Walsh Scottish small pipes, with a combination drone, and the ability to produce a fifth sound-wise, or chord-wise, raise another set of related questions I'd be interested in conversing about with a potential NPC teacher as well). (And could I even possibly explore become a National Piping Centre online Scottish small pipes' teacher at some point in the future - and with these foci too?). Thank you!


PPPS
And could I explore emailing you, Connor, the sheet music (in a Google Docs format) from Open Band every week, so you could get a sense of the music for different chanters even - and all in an experimental vein (and thus potentially enjoyably especially)? (It's also a rich trove of Scottish dancing sheet music).

With very best wishes, Scott

Tempos for Tunes - bagpiping tunes


Here are my off-the-cuff suggestions for a beginning soloist for these tune types. Keep in mind that bands and more advanced soloists will often play these faster - especially the marches.

Slow Marches, airs & waltzes ........... 45-60 bpm
2/4 marches .................................. 58-68 (maybe up to 74 if not competing)
6/8 marches .................................. 55-68
4/4 marches .................................. 74-80
Reels ........................................... 74-80
Strathspeys .................................. 108-120
Jigs ............................................. 108-120
Hornpipes ..................................... 74-82

Hope that helps.

That is a 33% rise in cases and a 22% increase in deaths.

The revised data is due to a review of past suspected cases.

Previous concerns over the misreporting of the scale appear to be true.

World University's open monthly business meeting Agenda for February 15, 2020:
- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/keyhole-sand-dollar-agenda-and-minutes.html


The next WUaS Monthly Business Meeting will meet on the 3rd / THIRD Saturday of the month, on March 21, 2020, open, hour-long and electronically-mediated. 





Agenda & News ... 


Agenda and News for Sat Feb 15, 2020 World University & School 
Monthly Business Meeting


0
Please remember that open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting (in the manner of Friends/Quakers) is an opportunity for you to help create wiki MIT OCW-centric World University and School. Please email info@worlduniversityandschool.org to join the hour-long conversation on 3rd Saturdays at 9am PT.


1
World University and School is seeking our 2nd undergraduate matriculating class for free-to-students' online CC-4 MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degrees in English, in the autumn of 2020 (where you can also wiki-teach, edit, share resources and ideas, learn, develop a teaching conversation - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects) ...


2
Monies are now newly available to World University and School for state of California BPPE licensing (after first attending a CA BPPE workshop on 2/20/19 in San Jose, CA)! Seeking to head to another BPPE licensing workshop on 11 March 2020 in Sacramento, CA ...



3
WUaS needs the monies now for accreditation (probably for WASC senior accreditation), after licensing CA's BPPE. 


4
World University and School's web site is now editable again, with secure FTP, so it will likely not be hacked again. (Unfortunately, due to a hack before the end of 2019, our donations button was removed, and we lost out on received donations).

World University and School, and the WUaS Press, continues to seek professional web site development. 


5
World University and School is exploring collaborating for licensing courses for cryptocurrency compliance in nation states in Europe and regarding both Stanford law CodeX and WUaS Law Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School
See: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/panthera-stanford-law-school-codex-mtg.html (and with regards too to WUaS seeking to facilitate a single digital currency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks and distributed via Universal Basic Income experiments to all 7.5 billion people on planet, and for alleviating poverty - see the WUaS Press below). 


6
In planning for matriculating students in all ~200 countries' languages, and speakers of all 7,111 known living languages, and thus, brainstorming-wise, for all 7.5 billion wiki teachers and learners on the planet - and also for Universal Basic Income experiments re all 7.5 billion people to alleviate poverty - WUaS may seek to collaborate with Alphabet / Google. In these regards, here's Alphabet / Google CEO Sundar Pichai: "One of the next frontiers for Maps will be to help the billions of people who live without a physical address get a digital one. These open-source digital addresses, called Plus Codes, are based on lat. & long. coords. ..."



7
WUaS is planning our WIKI criteria for adding and with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning ahead. And it's likely that WUaS will develop a first set of Artificial Intelligence / AI Universities (emerging from CC-4 licensed MIT OCW in 4 languages), and so planning for this for both humans and bots - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/anisoptera-ana-cotta-dragonfly-planning.html.


8
World Univ & Sch seeks to develop a realistic virtual earth for STEM, classrooms, and everything, and potentially with the TensorFlow CHIP #TPU #EdgeTPU for image recognition https://twitter.com/rzembo/status/1223648708023193600?s=20… & #MachineLearning > #RealisticVirtualEarth #RealisticVirtualHarbin @HarbinBook for #EthnoWikiVirtualWorldGraphy new social science #ActualVirtual method https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_processing_unit  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_neural_network … ~ and as part of WUaS AI and machine learning developments especially 


While WUaS filed our Form 990-N, (Electronic Notice (e-Postcard) for Tax-Exempt Organizations Not Required to File Form 990) successfully in early January 2020, WUaS will file the SI-100 with state of California soon. 








* * *


Agenda and News for Feb 15, 2020 WUaS Corporation Board Meeting


A
The WUaS Press / Corporation seeks too, brainstorming-wise, as we code for matriculating students/ Universitians in all 7,111 known living languages and in ~200 countries each a Wikidata PIN# (in its ~300 languages), to plan for all 7.5 billion people, and to explore facilitating a single digital currency, for example, the "Pi" cryptocurrency or similar, to be distributed by Universal Basic Income experiments (to alleviate poverty).


B
The WUaS Press has begun to update our web site newly too - 


C
The WUaS Press will file the SI-550 card with state of California soon.

[Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy: Last chance to review the recommendations, next steps
Inbox

Hi everyone,

We’re in week 4 of community conversations about the movement strategy recommendations. Thank you to everyone who has already taken part. The community conversations will continue until Friday, February 21 - you can get involved on Meta[1] in Arabic, English, French, German, Hindi, Spanish, and Portuguese, strategize with your community or organization, or send the core team your feedback to strategy2030@wikimedia.org.

This current round of community conversations is the last opportunity to suggest improvements to the recommendations. They will be finalized before the end of March, and then published for the movement to understand them, reflect on what they mean in their project, local, or thematic context, and move into implementation.

== Movement feedback: what happens next ==
All feedback is being collected, reviewed and analyzed on an ongoing basis. Here are the  next steps after February 21:

* Week commencing February 24: the core team will summarize all the feedback received in a report. You are welcome to continue commenting and discussing during this time, but the discussions will not be as closely facilitated and documented.

* Week commencing March 2: the core team will publish the above report on Meta to give the movement an opportunity to review the content and give feedback as to whether it accurately reflects their input. The closing date for this is March 6. This summary report will then be finalized and published.

In mid-March, the feedback from the Board of Trustees, movement conversations and reviewers' input will be considered in the creation of the final, improved set of recommendations. A rationale for things that have not been considered will be provided, too. Our aim is to have the recommendations finalized and published in late March. More about the actual integration work coming soon.

== Video and podcast about our work; one-pager ==
Members of the core team - Tanveer Hasan, Information and Knowledge Liaison, and Mehrdad Pourzaki, Information and Knowledge Manager - recently held a presentation about all the recommendations at the Wikimedia Foundation All Hands. They provide a quick, concise overview
of every recommendation and also some insight into how each was developed. Video of the presentation [2] and the presentation slides [3] are now on Commons.

Jan Ainali has interviewed me for his podcast Wikipedia Podden. I’m speaking with him about the past, present and future of movement strategy[4].

The one-pager created by Andrew Lih (User:Fuzheado) has been very popular. Again, a big thank you to Andrew for putting this together. In addition to Arabic, English, and Hindi versions, it is now also available in Farsi [5, 6].

== Meeting notes from the office hours  ==
We have published a condensed summary of the meeting notes [7] from the office hours that were held by the core team on Thursday, January 30. The notes provide an overview of the key points and questions that were raised during the two calls as well as summaries of the responses.

== Do you have further questions? ==
Members of the core team will join the upcoming Wikimedia Café on February 15 [8], which will focus on the movement strategy recommendations. The Wikimedia Café is a community-led meeting hosted by User:Pine and User:Bluerasberry, and we are happy to take part and help answer any questions people may have about the recommendations. Additionally, if you are looking for more information about any of the above topics or about the movement strategy in general, take a look at
our FAQ section [9].

Happy weekend,
Nicole

11:35 AM (58 minutes ago)
to strategy2030, Lydia, Katherine, Stephen, Wikimedia, Nicole, affiliates, EDs, Internal

Thanks for this great plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim - regarding the sum of all knowledge. I enjoyed your podcast - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WP_72_-_Wikimedia_2030,_a_strategy_interview.mp3#%7B%7Bint%3Afiledesc%7D%7D - in particular. (Seems like in the 'united states of whatebber' per your Twitter photo, Nicole - https://twitter.com/antischokke - that tactics, by way of comparison, have been very significant thus far in the Wikimedia movement).

(In that CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University & School donated itself to Wikidata in 2015, and received WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in 2017 as a consequence, am curious if WUaS would be considered an affiliate per these email addressees above, or what?)

I have questions relating mostly to "the sum of all knowledge" goal of Wikipedia -

A) epistemology questions - How does or will Wikimedia / Wikipedia / Wikidata approach academic knowledge, eg in the ~32 departments in MIT OCW, for example, in particular, in this strategizing - and per information technology as a new aspect of knowledge generation?

B) linguistic questions - How will Wikidata approach its ~300 languages in becoming a platform for academic linguistic departments, and regarding the sum of all knowledge (and eventually all 7,111 known living languages)? ... and also regarding the Wikidata lexicographical project.

C) questions, brainstorming and knowledge-wise, about 'ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy' as a new social science and STEM method ... how could Wikipedians and others begin to develop this wiki project in the Wikidata / Wikimedia ecosystem?

D) questions about planning for all 7.5 billion people in first 300 languages, and then in all 7,111 known living languages, as Wikipedia wiki editors, curators, knowledge generators? It seems that these potentially 7.5 billion people on the planet earth are most remarkable as generators of "the sum of knowledge." How is Wikipedia planning for all these 'knowledge generators'?

Thanks,
Scott

Hello Nicole,

The second video seems to be incomplete. There are, for example, several
jump cuts, e.g., at 05:07, 11:08, 17:08, 22:31, etc. At 11:14 the
presenters invite questions or comments, and at 41:32 someone is clearly
being called upon to offer one, but they are not shown in the video. Could
you please provide a link to the entire video without cuts, including any
questions or comments and the responses to them?

Dear Jim, and Larry,

I came across this video yesterday from edX hiring and talent managers (in this 'Integration Specialist' job opening - https://boards.greenhouse.io/edx/jobs/2018844 - which I won't apply for) -

Libby Bowen - edX Hiring Manager Interview - February 15, 2019 with Rose Sinclair -

https://youtu.be/DHlo8Hf-EMM

- and which is on the edX recruiting channel (which is Rose Sinclair's endeavor I think)

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKrZsc4AQga6nv9XoKhsz_g

and found all of these interviews fascinating. And in one of them, the co-CEO, Adam Medros, was interviewed. I 'LinkedIn' with him per his video edX recruiting video - https://youtu.be/7si3HzgEIxA - and with " - which I enjoyed, & am in communication with Anant Agarwal these days regarding CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch in ~200 countries' languages & exploring edX collaborations. Best regards, Scott (worlduniversityandschool.org& scottmacleod.com)." And while he looked at my LinkedIn profile this morning, the connection is pending.

After watching these videos, and also recognizing how valuable it would be to be an edX partner / member / collaborator (but their business manager Lee seems to have closed the door on this for WUaS) for licensing with the state of California's BPPE and then for WASC senior accreditation as a platform, it strikes me too that these excellent diverse edX managers in all of these videos (and the entire edX organization too) could be a great platform and infrastructure from which to build and grow World Univ & Sch. How to connect with them in all these regards, I wonder? I think edX's 3 missions, but esp its research mission - https://www.edx.org/about-us"Advance teaching and learning through research" in particular - is perhaps most significant in these regards too. Am keeping my eye on https://www.edx.org/careers but in preparing for WUaS Monthly Business Meeting tomorrow, 2/15/20 - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/keyhole-sand-dollar-agenda-and-minutes.html - I wonder how to connect further with edX - and especially collaborate with them. Send Adam Medros and Rose Sinclair and Anant Agarwal my two edX job applications again, upon their invitation?

I enjoyed too, Jim, your

"AI and OpenPower" IBM video -
https://youtu.be/4_uQdNtjl60 - and your mentioning Tarun Sainani, who came over to a party at my place with Takeshi Suzuki last October 2019. Am hoping WUaS can develop cognitive assistants in our home robotics' projects with time.

Thanks, Scott

Hi Ma,

Am sympathetic with Habermas' s philosophical anthropological thinking in article esp.

So true!

Appreciating ... https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/habermas/ ... and esp. ... 

"Habermas's interest in the political subsequently led him to a series of philosophical studies and critical-social analyses that eventually appeared in English in his Toward a Rational Society (1970) and Theory and Practice (1973b). Whereas the latter consists primarily of reflections on the history of philosophy, the former represents an attempt to apply his emerging theory of rationality to the critical analysis of contemporary society, in particular the student protest movement and its institutional target, the authoritarian and technocratic structures that held sway in higher education and politics.
Habermas's critical reflection takes a nuanced approach to both sides of the social unrest that characterized the late sixties. Although sympathetic with students' demand for more democratic participation and hopeful that their activism harbored a potential for positive social transformation, he also did not hesitate to criticize its militant aspects, which he labeled self-delusory and “pernicious” (1970, 48). In his critique of technocracy—governance by scientific experts and bureaucracy—he relied on a philosophical framework that anticipates categories in his later thought, minus the philosophy of language he would work out in the 1970s. Specifically, Habermas sharply distinguished between two modes of action, “work” and “interaction,” which correspond to enduring interests of the human species (ibid., chap. 6). The former includes modes of action based on the rational choice of efficient means, that is, forms of instrumental and strategic action, whereas the latter refers to forms of “communicative action” in which actors coordinate their behaviors on the basis of “consensual norms” (ibid., 91–92). Habermas's distinction in effect appropriates the classical Aristotelian contrast between techne and praxis for critical social theory (1973b, chap. 1). The result is a distinctively Habermasian critique of science and technology as ideology: by reducing practical questions about the good life to technical problems for experts, contemporary elites eliminate the need for public, democratic discussion of values, thereby depoliticizing the population (1970, chap. 6). The legitimate human interest in technical control of nature thus functions as an ideology—a screen that masks the value-laden character of government decision making in the service of the capitalist status quo. Unlike Herbert Marcuse, who regarded that interest as specific to capitalist society, Habermas affirmed the technical control of nature as a genuinely universal species-interest; pace Horkheimer and Adorno in their Dialectic of Enlightenment, the technical interest did not necessitate social domination.
Habermas defended this philosophical anthropology most fully in his Knowledge and Human Interests (1971b; German ed., 1968b), the work that represents his first attempt to provide a systematic framework for an interdisciplinary critical social theory. As Habermas conceived his task, he had to establish critical social theory as a respectable, distinct form of knowledge, in large measure through a methodological critique of the then-dominant positivist philosophy of science and historicist hermeneutics. He thus develops a theory of “knowledge-constitutive interests” that are tied both to “the natural history of the human species” and to “the imperatives of the socio-cultural form of life,” but are not reducible to them (ibid., 168). "
His focus on student movements in the 1960s is fascinating, philosophically, and his books are remarkable resources about this too! - https://twitter.com/jurgenoutfitter - :)

Ma, 

I only found one reference to Manuel Castells in the Stanford Encyclopedia to Philosophy - https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/globalization/ - and as a Castellian, and with regard to Globalization, about which I've also written academically: 

"For example, there is substantial empirical evidence that cross-border flows and exchanges (of goods, people, information, etc.), as well as the emergence of directly transnational forms of production by means of which a single commodity is manufactured simultaneously in distant corners of the globe, are gaining in prominence (Castells 1996)."

Habermas is also cited in these article: 

"Jürgen Habermas, a prominent cosmopolitan-minded theorist, has tried to formulate a defense of the European Union that conceives of it as a key steppingstone towards supranational democracy. If the EU is to help succeed in salvaging the principle of popular sovereignty in a world where the decay of nation state-based democracy makes democracy vulnerable, the EU will need to strengthen its elected representative organs and better guarantee the civil, political, and social and economic rights of all Europeans (Habermas 2001, 58–113; 2009). Representing a novel form of postnational constitutionalism, it potentially offers some broader lessons for those hoping to save democratic constitutionalism under novel global conditions. Despite dire threats to the EU posed by nationalist and populist movements, Habermas and other cosmopolitan-minded intellectuals believe that it can be effectively reformed and preserved (Habermas 2012).

In opposition to Held, Habermas, and other cosmopolitans, skeptics underscore the purportedly utopian character of such proposals, arguing that democratic politics presupposes deep feelings of trust, commitment, and belonging that remain uncommon at the postnational and global levels."
This SEP article is written by Bill Scheuerman who taught at Pitt for some years (https://polisci.indiana.edu/documents/profiles/scheuerman1.pdf and https://intlstudies.indiana.edu/people/faculty/scheuerman-william.html) - and who's most recent book is titled "Civil Disobedience" (sounds like he could be a Quaker too!). Do you happen to know him? 

Love, Scott

Rilke, Rainer Maria: Poetic Style and Themes

Rilke was sensitive and introspective. His poetic style was rich and supple, varying from the simple to the elaborate and profound. It is generally characterized by striking visual imagery, musicality, and a preponderant use of nouns. The erotic and spiritual love between men and women is a constant theme. In tone Rilke's verse was often mystical and prophetic; he used symbolism as a means of expression and created poetry that bears a strong resemblance to medieval verse. This resemblance may reflect Rilke's religious outlook—his probing into the emotional and spiritual issues involved in the search for goodness and transcendence in the absence of a personal God and his absorption with death as a poetic theme. Rilke was antimodern in many ways, an attitude particularly evident in his antipathy for large modern cities.

Rainer Maria Rilke: Poems Themes

Written by Rudolf Pretzler, Nursalin Ashfi

Christian Theology

Throughout the poetic career of Rainer Maria Rilke, the expression or exploration of the Christian faith is a major theme. Such a topic can be found in many of his works, yet is most prevalent in the late early poems that have a strong Christian narrative. A good example of this can be found in “Die Kinder” (The children) where death is portrayed as a benevolent Christian figure, promising eternal life. This poem is part of a cycle called the eleven visions of Christ, which in itself shows the strong mythical adoration for the Christian leader Rilke had.
The depiction of Christian faith and religious symbolism is positive within the works of Rilke where little doubt can be found as to the sincerity and truthfulness of god’s plan for this earth and his benevolence. Especially in his early career as a poet, Rilke wrote almost only religiously charged poems.
However, he never really adhered to common themes of religious worship of his time and one would be hard pressed to find many references to the bible or particular sermons within his poems. The Christian faith seems disengaged from the worldly and found only in the God and his acting upon this planet. The most important example of this is found in his “Duino Elegies”, which are heavily Christian but in such a mythical way as to be completely different from common Catholic or Protestant teachings.
This theme can be considered the most prevalent of all themes within Rilke’s poetry. It is the main theme of many of his poetic cycles, including “Christus Elf Visionen” (The eleven visions of Christ), “Gebete der Maedchen zu Maria” (The girls prayers to Mary), or “Das Marien- Leben” (The life of Mary). Later poems leave this theme and focus on other topics like ancient mythology and human life.

Nationalism

As a man of Bohemian (Czech) origin within the Austrian empire, Rilke showed strong nationalistic streaks within very early poems. While this theme becomes less prevalent in later stages of his writing, especially the very early cycle of poems “Larenopfer” (Sacrifice to the Laren), shows strong nationalistic tendencies within the description of characters.
A good example of this can be found in “Das Heimatlied” (The origin’s song). Rilke exemplifies the pride of his people through a young woman, upon being asked to sing a song about her home, says three words in Czech and starts crying in joy. This is significant as Bohemia was part of the Austrian Empire during Rilke’s lifetime and the usage of the Czech language in contrast to the German narrative can be seen as a nationalistic outburst.

Love – A girl’s life

Especially at the start of the twentieth century, after his first strong religious wave of poems, Rilke showed a special interest in the life of females, often from his own country. It is important to notice here that almost none of the poems actually describes a particular woman. The girls and women in these poems can be considered ideals of life and as a yearning towards companionship.
The poems focus on women’s life journey (e.g. “Jetzt sind sie schon alle selber Frauen” – They are women already), work (e.g. “Wenn die blonden Flechterinnen…” – When the blonde weavers…), romantic joy (e.g. “Koeniginnen seid ihr und reich…” – Queens you are and rich…) or even strive (e.g. Maedchenmelancholie” – melancholy of a girl).
However, the depicted women are always beautiful, idealistic and perfect in their position within society. Rilke refrained from depicting reality, rather focussing on an ideal world of men, where women’s life is purely defined by the existence and love of men.

Greek Mythology

Rilke’s strong focus on mythological content, especially his recount of the ancient Greek mythology of Orpheus and Eurydice in “Die Sonette an Orpheus” (Sonnets to Orpheus), found their height after his time as a soldier in First World War. Typical for Rilke’s style, most of the poems have a strong metaphoric character.

This focus on Greek mythology should, however, not be misunderstood as a refocus away from Christian believes, as most of these poems were created at the same time as his highly mythical Christian series “Duinos Elegien”. In contrast, when analyzing the Greek themes they are often found to be married to themes found in the bible.

Rainer Maria Rilke

AUSTRIAN-GERMAN POET
Alternative Title: René Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke, original name René Maria Rilke, (born Dec. 4, 1875, PragueBohemiaAustria-Hungary [now in Czech Republic]—died Dec. 29, 1926, Valmont, Switz.), Austro-German poet who became internationally famous with such works as Duino Elegies and Sonnets to Orpheus.

Rainer Maria Rilke
1875–1926


Widely recognized as one of the most lyrically intense German-language poets, Rainer Maria Rilke was unique in his efforts to expand the realm of poetry through new uses of syntax and imagery and in an aesthetic philosophy that rejected Christian precepts and strove to reconcile beauty and suffering, life and death. As C. M. Bowra observed in Rainer Maria Rilke: Aspects of His Mind and Poetry, “Where others have found a unifying principle for themselves in religion or morality or the search for truth, Rilke found his in the search for impressions and the hope these could be turned into poetry... For him Art was what mattered most in life.” The only child of a German-speaking family in Prague, then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Rilke was the son of a retired officer in the Austrian army who worked as a railroad official; his mother was a socially ambitious and possessive woman. At age eleven Rilke began his formal schooling at a military boarding academy; in 1891 he was discharged due to health problems that would plague him throughout his life. He immediately returned to Prague, only to find that his parents had divorced in his absence. Shortly thereafter he began receiving private instruction toward passing the entrance exams for Prague’s Charles-Ferdinand University. In 1894 his first book of verse, Leben und Lieder: Bilder und Tagebuchblatter, was published. After a short stint at Charles-Ferdinand University, Rilke left Prague for Munich where he mingled in the city’s literary circles, had several of his plays produced, published his poetry collections, Larenopfer and Traumgelkront, and was introduced to the work of Danish writer Jens Peter Jacobsen, who was a decisive influence during Rilke’s formative years. Visiting Venice in 1897, Rilke met Lou Andreas-Salome, a married woman fifteen years his senior, who was also a strong influence. After spending the summer of 1897 with her in the Bavarian Alps, Rilke accompanied Salome and her husband to Berlin in late 1897 and to Italy the following year.
Rilke’s early verse, short stories, and plays are characterized by their romanticism. His early poems show the influence of the German folk song tradition and have been compared to the lyrical work of Heinrich Heine. The most popular poetry collections of Rilke’s during this period were Vom lieben Gott und Anderes (Stories of God) and the romantic cycle Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke (The Story of the Love and Death of Cornet Christoph Rilke), which remained the poet’s most widely recognized book during his lifetime. Dictionary of Literary Biography contributor George C. Schoolfield called Rilke’s first poetry collection, Leben und Lieder (“Life and Songs”), “unbearably sentimental,” but thought later works such as Larenopfer(“Offering to the Lares”) and Traumgekroent (“Crowned with Dreams”) demonstrated “considerably better proof of his lyric talent.” Although none of Rilke’s plays are considered major works, and his short stories, according to Schoolfield, demonstrate the author’s immaturity, the latter do show “his awareness of language and a certain psychological refinement,” as well as “flashes of brilliant satiric gift” and “evidence of a keen insight into human relations.” Schoolfield also observed that “some of Rilke’s best tales are autobiographical,” such as “Pierre Dumont,” which features a young boy saying goodbye to his mother at the gates to a military school, and “Ewald Tragy,” a two-part story about a boy who leaves his family and hometown of Prague for Munich, where he fights loneliness but enjoys a new sense of freedom.

In 1899 Rilke made the first of two pivotal trips to Russia with Salome, discovering what he termed his “spiritual fatherland” in both the people and the landscape. There Rilke met Leo Tolstoy, L. O. Pasternak (father of Boris Pasternak), and the peasant poet Spiridon Droschin, whose works Rilke translated into German. These trips provided Rilke with the poetic material and inspiration essential to his developing philosophy of existential materialism and art as religion. Inspired by the lives of the Russian people, whom the poet considered more devoutly spiritual than other Europeans, Rilke’s work during this period often featured traditional Christian imagery and concepts, but presented art as the sole redeemer of humanity. Soon after his return from Russia in 1900, he began writing Das Stundenbuch enthaltend die drei Bücher: Vom moenchischen Leben; Von der Pilgerschaft; Von der Armuth und vom Tode, a collection that “marked for him the end of an epoch,” according to Bowra and others. This book, translated as The Book of Hours; Comprising the Three Books: Of the Monastic Life, Of Pilgrimage, Of Poverty and Death, consists of a series of prayers about the search for God. Because of this concern, Hound and Horn critic Hester Pickman noted that the book “might have fallen out of the writings of Christian contemplatives,” except that “the essential pattern is an inversion of theirs. God is not light but darkness—not a father, but a son, not the creator but the created. He and not man is our neighbor for men are infinitely far from each other. They must seek God, not where one or two are gathered in His name, but alone.”

Whenever Rilke writes about God, however, he is not referring to the deity in the traditional sense, but rather uses the term to refer to the life force, or nature, or an all-embodying, pantheistic consciousness that is only slowly coming to realize its existence. “Extending the idea of evolution,” Eudo C. Mason explained in an introduction to The Book of Hours, “and inspired probably also in some measure by Nietzsche’s idea of the Superman, Rilke arrives at the paradoxical conception of God as the final result instead of the first cause of the cosmic process.” Holding in contempt “all other more traditional forms of devoutness, which… merely ‘accept God as a given fact,’” Rilke did not deny God’s existence, but insisted that all possibilities about the nature of life be given equal consideration.

The real theme of The Book of Hours, concluded Mason, is the poet’s “own inner life,” his struggles toward comprehension, and, “above all… his perils as a poet.” The second major concept in The Book of Hours is Rilke’s apotheosis of art. “‘Religion is the art of those who are uncreative,’” Mason quoted Rilke as having said; the poet’s work is often concerned with the artist’s role in society and with his inner doubts about his belief in poetry’s superiority. Because of the firm establishment of these two themes in The Book of Hours, the collection “is essential to the understanding of what comes afterwards” in Rilke’s writing, attested Pickman. The Book of Hours was also another of the poet’s most popular works, second only to The Story of the Love and Death of Cornet Christoph Rilke during his lifetime. But despite being a “very beautiful” book, it also “remains too constantly abstract. It lacks the solid reality of great poetry,” according to Pickman.

Rilke fixed his verse more firmly in reality in his next major poetry collection, Neue Gedichte (New Poems). The major influence behind this work was Rilke’s association with the famous French sculptor, Auguste Rodin. Working as Rodin’s secretary from 1905 to 1906, Rilke gained a greater appreciation of his work ethic. More importantly, however, the poet’s verses became objective, evolving from an impressionistic, personal vision to the representation of this vision with impersonal symbolism. He referred to this type of poetry as Dinggedichte (thing poems). These verses employed a simple vocabulary to describe concrete subjects experienced in everyday life and would lead W. H. Auden to declare in New Republic that “Rilke’s most immediate and obvious influence has been upon diction and imagery.” Rilke expressed ideas with “physical rather than intellectual symbols. While Shakespeare, for example, thought of the non-human world in terms of the human, Rilke thinks of the human in terms of the non-human, of what he calls Things (Dinge).” Having learned the skill of perceptive observation from Rodin and, later, from the French painter Paul Cezanne, Rilke “sustained for a little while the ability to write without inspiration, to transform his observations—indeed his whole life—into art,” according to Nancy Willard, author of Testimony of the Invisible Man. The “‘thingness’ of these poems,” explained Erich Heller in The Artist’s Journey into the Interior and Other Essays, “reflects not the harmony in which an inner self lives with its ‘objects’; it reflects a troubled inner self immersing itself in ‘the things.’” But although this objective approach innovatively addressed subjects never before recognized by other poets and created “dazzling poems,” Rilke realized, according to Willard, that it “did not really open the secret of living things.”

By this point in his career, Rilke was reaching a crisis in his art that revealed itself both in New Poems and his only major prose work, the novel Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge (The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge). These works express the poet’s growing doubts about whether anything existed that was superior to mankind and his world. This, in turn, brought into question Rilke’s very reason for writing poetry: the search for deeper meaning in life through art. In her book, Rainer Maria Rilke, E. M. Butler averred that “The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge” marks a crisis in Rilke’s attitude to God, a crisis which might be hailed as the loss of a delusion, or deplored as the loss of an ideal… [His concept of the] future artist-god had never been more than a sublime hypothesis, deriving from Rilke’s belief in the creative and transforming powers of art.” Having failed, in his mind, to accurately represent God in his poetry, Rilke attempted to “transform life into art” in his New Poems. “What he learnt,” Butler continued, “is what every artist has to face sooner or later, the realisation that life is much more creative than art. So that his mythological dream, the apotheosis of art, appeared to be founded on delusion. Either art was not as creative as he had thought, or he was not such a great artist. Both these doubts were paralyzing, and quite sufficient to account for the terrible apprehension present in every line of Malte Laurids Brigge. For this skepticism struck at the roots of his reason and justification for existence. Either he was the prophet of a new religion, or he was nobody.”

The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge is a loosely autobiographical novel about a student who is the last descendant of a noble Danish family (Rilke believed, erroneously according to his biographers, that he was distantly related to Carinthian nobility), and follows his life from his birth to a grim, poverty-stricken life as a student in Paris. Images of death and decay (especially in the Paris scenes) and Malte’s fear of death are a continuous presence throughout the narrative. Because Rilke never finished The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge (in one of his letters, the author told a friend he ended the book “‘out of exhaustion,’” reported Schoolfield) Malte’s ultimate fate is left ambiguous. In one of Rilke’s letters translated in Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke: 1910-1926, the author remarked that the most significant question in The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge is: “[How] is it possible to live when after all the elements of this life are utterly incomprehensible to us?” As William Rose determined in Rainer Maria Rilke: Aspects of His Mind and Poetry, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge actually was kind of a catharsis for the author in which “Rilke gave full vent… to the fears which haunted him.” “Without the Notebooksbehind him,” Wood concluded, “the poet would hardly have ventured” to write the Duino Elegies in 1912.

Duino Elegies “might well be called the greatest set of poems of modern times,” claimed Colin Wilson, author of Religion and the Rebel. Wilson averred, “They have had as much influence in German-speaking countries as [T. S. Eliot‘s] The Waste Land has in England and America.” Having discovered a dead end in the objective poetry with which he experimented in New Poems, Rilke once again turned to his own personal vision to find solutions to questions about the purpose of human life and the poet’s role in society. Duino Elegies finally resolved these puzzles to Rilke’s own satisfaction. Called Duino Elegies because Rilke began writing them in 1912 while staying at Duino Castle on the Italian Adriatic coast, the collection took ten years to complete, due to an inspiration-stifling depression the poet suffered during and after World War I. When his inspiration returned, however, the poet wrote a total of eleven lengthy poems for the book; later this was edited down to ten poems. The unifying poetic image that Rilke employs throughout Duino Elegies is that of angels, which carry many meanings, albeit not the usual Christian connotations. The angels represent a higher force in life, both beautiful and terrible, completely indifferent to mankind; they represent the power of poetic vision, as well as Rilke’s personal struggle to reconcile art and life. The Duino angels thus allowed Rilke to objectify abstract ideas as he had done in New Poems, while not limiting him to the mundane materialism that was incapable of thoroughly illustrating philosophical issues.

The revolutionary poetic philosophy that Rilke proposed in Duino Elegies is considered significant to many literary scholars. “No poet before him had been brave enough to accept the whole of [the dark side of the] world, as if it were unquestionably valid and potentially universal,” asserted Conrad Aiken in his Collected Criticism. Like the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who lived about the same time as Rilke, the poet determined his objective to be “[praise] and celebration in the face of and in full consciousness of the facts that had caused other minds to assume an attitude of negativity,” wrote Emergence from Chaos author Stuart Holroyd. But even though the final purpose of Duino Elegies is to praise existence, the “predominant note… is one of lament.” By overcoming his quandaries in this collection, Rilke was completely free to devote his poetry to praise in Sonnets to Orpheus.

“The Sonnets are the songs of his victory,” affirmed Bowra in The Heritage of Symbolism. “In the Sonnets,” Bowra wrote, “Rilke shows what poetry meant to him, what he got from it and what he hoped for it. The dominating mood is joy. It is a complement to the distress and anxiety of the Elegies, and in Rilke’s whole performance the two books must be taken together.” Aiken similarly commented that the “ Sonnets to Orpheus… is, with the Elegies, Rilke’s finest work—the two books really belong together, shine the better for each other’s presence.”

In the last few years of his life, Rilke was inspired by such French poets as Paul Valery and Jean Cocteau, and wrote most of his last verses in French. Rilke suffered from illness his whole life and died of leukemia in 1926 while staying at the Valmont sanatorium near Lake Geneva. On his deathbed, he remained true to his anti-Christian beliefs and refused the company of a priest. Hermann Hesse summed up Rilke’s evolution as a poet in his book, My Belief: Essays on Life and Art: “Remarkable, this journey from the youthful music of Bohemian folk poetry… to Orpheus, remarkable how… his mastery of form increases, penetrates deeper and deeper into his problems! And at each stage now and again the miracle occurs, his delicate, hesitant, anxiety-prone person withdraws, and through him resounds the music of the universe; like the basin of a fountain he becomes at once instrument and ear.” Without his parents’ religious ideals to comfort him, Rilke found peace in his art. As Holroyd concluded, the “poetry which Rilke wrote to express and extend his experience… is one of the most successful attempts a modern man has made to orientate himself within his chaotic world.”

Dick, Lucy, Ma, Alden,

With the 2020 NYT's presidential co-endorsement, here's an Elizabeth Warren article, 3rd from top of the NYTs on smartphone today ... "How Elizabeth Warren’s Camp Is Seeking to Regain the Spotlight" - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/18/us/politics/elizabeth-warren-nevada.html

Alden, what are your thoughts about her electability at this time?

Have recently come across some:

Hippy Nordic artists (both Finns) who came to US in mid 1960s ... a time and place and culture which I'd think, or posit, transformed them:

Here's Stanford's Dave Brady again and Re Presidents' day yesterday:


Here's Stanford Professor of Political Science, Dave Brady, whom I've been impressed with in person in the Stanford Law school (and he responded to an email I sent him about his talk too) before (and where political science is getting closer and closer to a science), and upcoming election, FYI:

Assessing the Prospects for a Brokered Convention
By Brett Parker & David Brady
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/02/13/assessing_the_prospects_for_a_brokered_convention_142386.html

I found this sentence interesting here:
"Suppose for the sake of argument, however, that the field narrowed to a single moderate and a single progressive (with likely Biden, Buttigieg, or Klobuchar in the former role and Sanders in the latter)."

And in a similar vein from Parker and Brady in 2018, re 'flipping the house' - https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2018/11/06/flipping_the_house_what_94_06_10_turnout_tells_us_138561.html

"Dean Ornish was the first to show that reversal (regression) of coronary arteriosclerosis is possible by adhering to a comprehensive lifestyle programme. In the context of the present discussion, two facts are especially important about this story. First, that such a reversal was thought to be impossible, what- ever the therapy, before Ornish proved the contrary; second, that at this early stage his work was largely inspired by the yoga-related ideas he had imbibed as a young man from the modern yogi Swami Satchidananda.67

The results of Dr Ornish’s research were reported after one and five years.68 The programme, now adopted and recognised worldwide under the name ‘Lifestyle Program’, consists of a four-component intervention, as follows:
1. moderate exercise
2. stress management
3. low fat plant-based diet
4. regular group support ... "

Key takeaway is that no matter how your LDL goes up, it’s always worse than if it didn’t. But timing matters, too. To minimise the risk of heart disease, it’s always best to start paying attention to your numbers as early as possible 😊👍🏼

Hello all,


The fourth edition of the Celtic Knot Conference, focusing on minority languages on the Wikimedia projects, will take place on July 9th and 10th, 2020 in Limerick, Ireland.

The Celtic Knot Wikimedia Language Conference aims to bring people together to share their experiences of working on sharing information in minority languages. We hope to help people learn how to encourage the flow of information across language barriers and support associated communities. As in previous years we will have a strong focus on Wikidata and its potential to support languages.

Wikimedia UK has been the organiser with local partners for the 2017 Celtic Knot Wikimedia Language Conference in Edinburgh (focusing on Scottish Gaelic), in 2018 in Aberystwyth (focusing on Welsh) and in 2019 in Falmouth (focusing on Cornish). In 2020, the conference will focus on Irish and developing its Wikimedia community - whilst making sure that we can share and support other languages in the Celtic Knot and beyond.

The programme will include presentations and workshops linked to the conference themes of:
  • How Wikidata and language technology can support minority languages
  • Wikimedia projects in education with language applications
  • Experiences with empowering wiki communities to create content in their language
  • How cultural institutions and wiki communities work together to provide more accessible knowledge in minority languages

We especially expect a lot of representatives from Irish cultural institutions as well as contributors of Wikimedia projects in various languages.

Are you interested in participating? Save the date in your calendar! The call for submissions to the program will start on February 27th until March 30th. A scholarship program will be set up and more information will be shared in March.


If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment on the talk page.

Feel free to share this email to any people or groups you think would be interested!

Cheers,

West Bengal, India, World Univ and Sch and re wiki (and Wikipedia?)

to PinMainakMainakMartimazumdarpSaumitraSaumitraScottsgkmacleod
Hi Pin, Saumitra, Mazumdars, All,

I just saw this new development from the West Bengal Wikimedians' User Group - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/West_Bengal_Wikimedians/Reports/Annual_Activities/2019 - which I think might interest you. 

And this is the original email: 

"Hi all,

We are pleased to share with you  our annual activity report for the year
2019.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/West_Bengal_Wikimedians/Reports/Annual_Activities/2019

Regards,
Bodhisattwa"


Appreciating the pictures in this report especially. 

Regards, Scott

PS: And here's the Bengali language wiki subject page at MIT OCW-centric World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Bengali_language - planned in Bengali, for free-to-students' online MIT OCW-centric degrees. 

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/India (and with West Bengal World Univ & Sch ahead too).

Hi Pin, Saumitra, Bodhisattwa, and Mazudars, All, 

I'd like to introduce you all to one another. Bodhisattwa, Pin (Sid), Saumitra, and All. Bodhisattwa, lives in Puruliya, West Bengal, India - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bodhisattwamandal/ - and is a Wikidata / Wikipedia friend, and I know Pin (aka Siddartha) and the Mazumdars from our high school years together in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but where Pin was born in Kolkata, West Bengal, and came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mazumdar, when age 1, to the united states when they matriculated at Cornell University in NY for their Ph.D.s. Saumitra (Gubito) also came to the US to attend Cornell University in his late teens/early twenties (https://www.linkedin.com/in/saumitra-sengupta-5b99a51). And Maitreyi, Pin's younger sister is a medical doctor at Harvard, and has a research site in Bangladesh (https://www.linkedin.com/in/maitreyi-mazumdar-4b545332/).

These are Bodhisattwa and my recent messages in Linked In:

Scott:
Thanks for your helpful Wikimedia and Wikidata emails, Bodhisattwa PS: Here's the Bengali language wiki subject page at MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Bengali_language - planned in Bengali, for free-to-students' online MIT OCW-centric degrees. Regards, Scott (worlduniversityandschool.org and scottmacleod.com)

Bodhisattwa:
Thanks Scott, I will go through the links for sure.

Scott:
Thanks, Bodhisattwa - please let me know what you think would benefit WUaS West Bengal learners, and wiki-teachers, on both A) the wiki side, and B) with free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric degrees in Bengali, from this and related WUaS wiki pages. Will email you with introduction. Thanks so much, Bodhisattwa, and great to connect. Best regards, Scott (See, too, India WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/India and planned West Bengal WUaS, in Bengali and Hindi +)

I wonder if all of you could take on the development of West Bengal World University and School (and India WUaS too at present), both wiki and MIT OCW-centric  - and in Bengali, and Hindi, as WUaS gains access to information technologies in these languages? (And even eventually regarding online clinical research with A.I. and machine learning - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) - as well as potentially online MIT OCW-centric Medical Degrees - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - in West Bengal and Bangladesh)?

How best to communicate further about all of this?

With very best regards, 
Scott

Monthly Business Meeting



Minutes -

0
World Univ & Sch is LISTENING via our open Monthly Business Meeting (in the manner of Nt Friends / Quakers), and in ways you'd care to share - eg share ideas or questions with:  info@worlduniversityandschool.org, on Twitter - @WorldUnivAndSch - or come to an open WUaS News and Q & A electronically on Mondays at 10 am PT - https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch - via LiveStream here too; and please check out the World Univ and Sch Agenda and News regarding this first Minute if you haven't already - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/keyhole-sand-dollar-agenda-and-minutes.html.



1
In seeking 500-2000 online for free-to-students' CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric degrees at World University and School as we begin licensing with the state of California's BPPE, WUaS seeks too to create an enormous number of high quality careers in all ~200 countries and 7,111 known living languages, and potentially about 2.2 million jobs in all ~200 countries' official languages.



2
WUaS may head to a CA BPPE licensing workshop on May 13, 2020 in Sacramento instead, since  monies are now newly available to World University and School for state of California BPPE licensing (after first attending a CA BPPE workshop on 2/20/19 in San Jose, CA)!

- https://www.bppe.ca.gov/schools/application_workshops.shtml
- https://www.bppe.ca.gov/forms_pubs/approval_nonaccredited.pdf



3
WUaS is seeking monies now for accreditation (probably with WASC senior), and, concurrently, as we begin licensing CA's BPPE.



4
World Univ and Sch's WUaS PayPal donation link is newly here (which URL is:  https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=86ACG3JUH973A&source=url) - and newly in these Minutes too.


World University and School's web site is now editable again, with secure FTP after being hacked a number of times in recent months, and has also re-added the following editable links, each planned in all ~200 countries' main languages:

Library Resources - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources
All libraries in all 7,111 known living languages as wiki pages (and also in Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow, Translate, etc.)


Museums - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Museums
All museums in all 7,111 known living languages as wiki pages (and also in Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow, Translate, etc.)


Hardware Resource Possibilities - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hardware_Resource_Possibilities


Educational Software - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Educational_Software - in all ~200 countries' main languages


Foundation at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation


Best STEM & Humanities' CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric
Research
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Research




5
In the ~200 planned online law schools at World University and School, WUaS is exploring collaboration for licensing courses for cryptocurrency compliance in nation states in Europe, the EU, and regarding both Stanford law CodeX via Law Pilot - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School.
See too: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/panthera-stanford-law-school-codex-mtg.html (and with regards too to WUaS seeking to facilitate a single digital currency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks and distributed via Universal Basic Income experiments to all 7.5 billion people on planet - via You at WUaS https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and for alleviating poverty; see too the WUaS Corp below).



6
Regarding 'You at WUaS' and Universal Basic Income experiments per - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and in planning too for matriculating students in all ~200 countries' languages, and speakers of all 7,111 known living languages as wiki teachers and learners, and thus, brainstorming-wise, potentially for all 7.5 billion wiki teachers and learners on the planet - and also for Universal Basic Income experiments re all 7.5 billion people to alleviate poverty - WUaS may seek to collaborate with Alphabet / Google in communication with Alphabet / Google CEO Sundar Pichai.



7
WUaS tends toward CC-4 openness, without advertising, in planning our WIKI criteria for adding to wiki WUaS, and with Artificial Intelligence too - and potentially will seek to learn more about approaches to this in communication with Wikipedia / Wikimedia / Wikidata, as well as Creative Commons, and others.



8
It's particularly with regard to ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - that World Univ & Sch seeks to develop with the TensorFlow CHIP #TPU #EdgeTPU for image recognition (see, too: https://twitter.com/rzembo/status/1223648708023193600?s=20) … and for #MachineLearning #AI in a single #RealisticVirtualEarth #RealisticVirtualHarbin regarding #ActualVirtual @HarbinBook ethnography and again for #EthnoWikiVirtualWorldGraphy as a new social science and STEM methodologies, and as classrooms.



9
World University and School has filed the Statement of Information SI-100 form with state of California soon.

Minutes for Feb 15, 2020 
WUaS Corporation Board Meeting


A
With regards, brainstorming-wise, to the Pi cryptocurrency with blockchain technologies, and for potential UBI experiments, WUaS seeks to develop with Wikidata PIN#s (in Wikidata's ~300 languages), and to plan for all 7.5 billion people, and to explore facilitating a single digital currency, for example, again the mineable-from-smartphone "Pi" cryptocurrency or similar, to be distributed by Universal Basic Income experiments (to alleviate poverty), and re compliance regulatory courses in all ~200 countries.
See - "Pi is a new digital currency being developed by a group of Stanford PhDs" - https://youtu.be/MsOaC61cR3U - and also - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/panthera-stanford-law-school-codex-mtg.html . Planning for All 7.5 billion people here would relate to the other reasons WUaS seeks to code for all 7.5 billion people - see all 5 initial reasons here: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html - and Happy New Year!



B
With a newly secure FTP (File Transfer Protocol) port, the WUaS Press has updated the publication of its new book:

"To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually!: How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs, than to realize it in virtual Reality" 

- http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html

(and with none of our WUaS Press books being translated yet, i.e. with the planned WUaS Universal Translator, further planned with AI and machine learning in each of all 7,111 known living languages - https://www.ethnologue.com/guides/how-many-languages).



C
The WUaS Corporation has filed the Statement of Information SI-100 form with state of California soon.



D
WUaS Corporation, having just filed the SI-100, is seeking 4 further Board members, for a remarkable opportunity to grow into ~200 countries' and 7,111 known living languages regarding: "14 planned WUaS revenue streams, Business plan update" - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html - starting with an academic press and online-on-the-ground bookstores/ computer stores/ robotics' stores/ hospital technology stores+

World Univ & Sch's Monday News & Q&A conversation OPEN to YOU and related developments with LightStream, Video Conferencing software and YouTube LiveStream

to Lydia, Larry, Denny, Edward, Juliette, Marian, nicoledgarrison26, Peter

Peter, (Lydia, Larry, Denny and All),

In reply to your email, and developments with LightStream, Video Conferencing software and YouTube LiveStream:

Thanks so SO much for all this helpful current VIDEO CONFERENCING information, Peter. Will stay with LIghtStream for Monday's WUaS News and Q&A with LiveStream -
(for example:
"Aging Reversal, a FIRST Artificial Intelligence Univ? - World Univ & Sch 10 Feb 2020 Q & A and News"

https://youtu.be/aq7iRi9YtyU)
https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch - for the time being, and potentially for real time CONVERSATIONS. Inviting one guest for an interview, for ex. - with new LIghtStream developments - could be ideal in a way anyway. May head to an OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) configuration eventually - https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/technical-explanation-of-obs-settings.642/ - for video conferencing directly in YouTube - but which will involve a kind of head of IT at WUaS I think.

In a related vein, hopefully a WUaS-edX (founded by Harvard and MIT) collaboration will emerge, and with it a NEW group video conferencing option with academic focus too, and for the Conference Method of Teaching and Learning - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - and potentially too for a required first year Humanities' 101 (Reed College-informed) undergraduate class. Still seeking ~500 German Abitur and other German high-achieving (WUaS is open) students for (beginning) this autumn in English free-to-students' online Bachelor's degrees based on MIT OCW (https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm). This would occur potentially via the MITx platform in edX since there are already 205 MIT OCW courses in MITx - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mitx-related-courseware/ and https://ocw.mit.edu/ocw-labs/opencourseware-bundles-for-edx/.

Have you checked out the Minutes from WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on 2/15 - https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity - beginning with "Eclectus Parrot: Minutes ..." -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/eclectus-parrot-minutes-for-sat-feb-15.html ?

(Your WUaS Logo is brilliant, by the way - thanks again, and hopefully WUaS will afford other related creative opportunities ahead. Glad too that http://worlduniversityandschool.org is now updatable with a secure port - and check out our WUaS video here too!).

Thoughts about seeking and matriculating ~500 German Abitur students for this autumn (and potentially in a Bachelor's degree class of about 2000 online students?) And thoughts about the very last Minute on the WUaS Corp/Press wing - about seeking 4 new Board members for this for profit general stock company?

Looks like the first primary for the Green Party is in California * And the Green Party of Britain plans to introduce a Universal Basic Income (UBI) of 89 pounds per week by 2025 * Am keeping my eye on those MIT programmers calling out smartphone Apps relying on very young Blockchain ledger voting technologies


Dick, Lucy, Ma, Alden, 
Searched on Howie Hawkins in "Democracy Now" and much Ralph Nader (whom I voted for as Green Presidential candidate too) comes up, as key thinker for the Green Party potentially too -


And in a now for something completely different vein, it looks like the first primary for the Green Party is in California - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Green_Party_presidential_primaries (but it's not entirely clear from this updatable Wikipedia article). And it's the big day of Nov 3rd that counts in this upcoming US presidential election here. (I continue to think that Biden has the best chances of winning on the Democratic side, and found it interesting that he Biden says he was arrested on the way to visit Nelson Mandela - could this mean 'stopped' by security forces at a check point during Apartheid, for ex.? - see, too https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/21/us/politics/biden-south-africa-arrest-mandela.html, and see, too - https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2013/06/17-inspiring-facts-about-nelson-mandela.html and "The 1970s: The Anti-Apartheid Movement's Difficult Decade. The 1970s were a pivotal decade in the Southern African liberation struggle" - https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03057070902919991).

And the Green Party of Britain plans to introduce a Universal Basic Income of 89 pounds per week by 2025 - https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-politics-50439961/green-party-unveils-plan-for-universal-basic-income-by-2025 . As an international party, the Green Party is interesting re US politics too.

Some further thoughts about big November election ahead:

Am keeping my eye on those MIT programmers calling out smartphone Apps relying on very young Blockchain ledger voting technologies e.g. 

"Today, myself and co-authors @jimmykoppel and @djweitzner released a paper discussing a slew of vulnerabilities we found in @voatz, a blockchain voting app that's been used in US federal elections. You can read about it in the @nytimes !" -

https://twitter.com/mspecter/status/1227870800327462912?s=20 

... It seems like similar MIT programmers could be significant in keeping the (ever growing in small ways) computing aspects of voting fair this autumn. I found this above Twitter post on Neha Narula's Twitter feed - https://twitter.com/neha - and she's the Director of the MIT Digital Currency Initiative (and wonder if this Mike Specter is any relation to Arlen Specter a PA US Senator in the 1980s, beginning his term 2 years after my father was Secretary of Health during the TMI nuclear meltdown catastrophe in 1979).   

I looked up Andrew Yang's UBI - Universal Basic Income - recently too, just to see where he brought this conversation in the US presidential Democratic debates - and found the articles below. Seems like digital currencies with blockchain ledger could interrelate with other blockchain ledger systems (such as voting systems) - so am glad MIT and Harvard coders and law schools/centers, for example, are watching these developments.

One question I wonder about here is: if the poor in the US, and around the world, could be freed from poverty in the transition to a single digital currency in many of ~200 countries' official languages - with something off the shelf (off the Google Play Store shelf :) like the Pi cryptocurrency created by Stanford graduates, and with a lightning button for mining it with algorithms, then could that be something Biden, or Elizabeth Warren, could successfully run on?

* * * (And how too to navigate the 'hunters' in the US system too - the would be US assassins, and from both sides of the aisle, is another thing I wonder about, and which the US secret service seems to have had a fairly successful track record with since Kennedy, it seems). So how to keep them away from Pres T, and a possible Dem contender, a Vice Pres J.B. for example? * * *

I'm also curious how to prevent UBI experiments, to end poverty, getting eaten up - for ex. by ginormous health insurance cost rises, in the transition from ObamaCare to new payment approaches for maintaining enrollment in Kaiser Permanente health coverage - and in all ~200 countries around the world, and in their official languages.

What do you think in all these regards?

And for something with more survey data regarding the American people in a sense, here's Lee Rainie's Pew Research Center from today:

February 22, 2020
Weekly Roundup
The latest findings from Pew Research Center
https://mailchi.mp/pewresearch.org/what-us-adults-know-about-the-2020-census?e=4188253c1e

The Freedom Dividend, Defined

The Freedom Dividend

Andrew Yang's UBI problem
Push for universal basic income will outlive Andrew Yang's 2020 presidential campaign

As Andrew Yang drops out, here’s what other 2020 Democrats say about universal basic income

Would Andrew Yang’s UBI Plan Actually Help Women?

Democratic candidate Andrew Yang just promised to give 10 American families $12,000 over a year of 'universal basic income.' Here's how the radical policy plan would actually work.

The math is clear: Universal basic income is a terrible idea

Is Yang Doing More Harm Than Good to the Case for a Universal Basic Income?

Andrew Yang wants to sell you universal basic income. Beware if you have disabilities.

Dick, Lucy, Ma and Alden, 

And what do you think of this Harvard and MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church 60 Minutes interview where he says that age reversal has been PROVEN in 8 different ways -

https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk #longevity 
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/supermoon-aging-reversal-first.html - and that he's looking at adding an enzyme genetically back to DNA, which decreases in the aging process?

The prospects of living beyond 122 are increasing, as I see this!

George Church - Cognition Genes. Aging Reversal. Lab-built Brain Components.

https://youtu.be/jH87sfVD36M
at BrainMind Summit at MIT in May 2019


See George Church's book

"Regenesis: 
How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves"

here which, according to Juan Enriquez, is the most PRINTED book in the world published ON A GENE - 




George Church "Cognition Genes. Aging Reversal. Lab-built Brain Components"https://youtu.be/jH87sfVD36M mentions sequencing genetic data for all 7 billion people at 3 mins on phone - & for all species too re #DigitalSpecies? Yes
#AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords for 7 billion people

Good morning, Ma,

Questions are implicit in all articles in the News. I find myself looking to Newspapers - web newspapers, and so in cyberspace (e.g. not in physical libraries) - in other countries to get away from the current presidential races - https://www.deutschland.de/en/topic/knowledge/national-newspapers ... 

The Guardian - England

The World - Germany

New Zurich News - Switzerland

Times of India - India

Vienna News - Austria
Eg - Clear Win for the SPD and Greens in Hamburg Mayor's Election

Berlin Newspaper - Germany

And in the US,
The Boston Globe - USA

Other countries' newspapers' too. Am not heading too often yet to the online PBS NewsHour TV show (your News of choice, I think) - and which I think is also newly in a YouTube LiveStream - which I could see on both my smartphone and on my computer laptop screen, like all these digital newspapers.

Coronavirus tops the headlines in different ways. Glad I read German in these regards. And 'place' (one thesis in my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book is that place informs culture - alternative culture or counterculture here) is newly significant online or Virtually or digitally as 'information' - and especially newly in conceiving of virtual Harbin. (I have an ongoing inquiry about the Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital in Harbin projects, and in general - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/virtual?m=0, see too the 'virtual Harbin' label).

Glad the web make possible a wide variety of News options - kinda amazing. (Above is all in a social theory thinking vein too :)

How's your weekend going, and how are you? Thanks for this question email thread (and about Grandpa's Exeter tie too!).

Love, Scott



Noon, Ma, :)

Here's where the PBS Newshour Livestream is accessible from - https://www.youtube.com/user/PBSNewsHour - either on computer laptop or on smartphone.

And here's a related resource - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/latest - and click or search around on your laptop for related if interested, - as a PBS NewsHour appreciator, that is.

Love, Scott

Hi Alden,

Nice to meet and talk with you at the Reed gathering in SF just now.

Let's stay in touch regarding your real estate endeavors and CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, and our planned on the ground bookstores/computer stores/ robotics' stores / hospital technologies' distribution centers (planned in all ~200 countries' official languages even).

FYI, here are the WUaS Minutes, just finished and emailed today - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/eclectus-parrot-minutes-for-sat-feb-15.html.

What social media are you on most, if any?

Alden,

Nice to meet you on Thursday in SF at the Reed gathering.

As a scholar of tourism here -

Gazing at the Box:
Tourism in the Context of the Internet and Globalization (Internetity)

http://scottmacleod.com/anth250v.htm (2000) - where travel can be seen as an important aspect of tourism, you mentioning "effort" re visiting places resonates with me in a new way with regard to virtual tourism, and visiting virtual places in a digital mask, by hiking in them, for example, on an elliptical machine...

Here's the Harbin hot springs' gatehouse ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~) where you could "walk" down the road 4 "miles" and "amble" around Middletown, CA if interested in exploring.

'In case of emergency (was: Electricity outage)' ... 
this thread about a major earthquake in CA, or Coronavirus / COVID 19 or newly MERS coronavirus (MERS-CoV) or SARS (re genes)

Hi All, 
New thread here: 'In case of emergency (was: Electricity outage)' re numerous outages in Canyon 94516 ... but this thread could be about a major earthquake in CA, or Coronavirus / COVID 19 or newly MERS coronavirus (MERS-CoV) or SARS (re genes) ...
Have been aggregating some information sources re Coronavirus / COVID 19, beginning here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/easter-island-chile-rapa-nui-report-all.html on Feb 12, 2020, where I think it begins data-wise around 23 Jan 2020.
Here's Kaiser Permanente's web page on this (which health care provider is in 8 US states) - https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.org/alerts/p1/2019-novel-coronavirus-feb-2020 - which points to the CDC - Center for Disease Control (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/index.html ) - for information.
Am wary of "Orientalism" (a kind of racism) in the representations of all this data, and here too - Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by Johns Hopkins CSSE
 ... https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 (where it's big red circles presently center on Wuhan China, Italy, and Iran) - but am also appreciative of all these new amazing opportunities for access to information!
Just learned of a new Coronavirus:
'MERS coronavirus (MERS-CoV)
Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus'
from searching and finding this Google map -
https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?msa=0&hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=2&vpsrc=1&mid=15GjG9LJ3K4LTOcdYPuu2zjJoAPg&ll=29.482620294255913%2C132.57207391774304
(and this and SARS are all mentioned in the CDC website).
In German, here's a recent article on Coronavirus Covid-19 emerging in Italy:
https://www.fr.de/panorama/coronavirus-italien-riegelt-dutzend-staedte-zr-13533315.html (and as an alternative news' source, here are German national newspapers - https://www.deutschland.de/en/topic/knowledge/national-newspapers - https://translate.google.com/ - but search for information online in Google especially). And here's another article regarding Germany's health minister - https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/spahn-auch-deutsche-orte-koennten-abgeriegelt-werden-16649531.html - which suggests that quarantines could happen; and another regarding that the WHO wants the world to prepare for a Pandemic: https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/live205334991/Coronavirus-WHO-will-Welt-auf-moegliche-Pandemie-vorbereiten.html .
I also found the tone of this recent PBS NewsHour LIveStream responsible, informative and helpful:
WATCH LIVE: NewsHour answers your questions on novel coronavirus
Streamed live on Feb 21, 2020
https://youtu.be/0jcT1Ui3Hmc
And here's the World Health Organization's web site: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019
And the web site of:
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control
An agency of the European Union
https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/covid-19/interactive-map
Per this 1/12/20 blog entry again, am thinking / planning for avatar bot electronic medical records for all 7.5 billion people could help in this COVID-19 situation -
"Easter Island, Chile (Rapa Nui): . . . Genes . . . Report ALL cases of Coronavirus into a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics in #AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords planning for all 7.5 billion people on planet in all ~200 nation states' WUaS Univs & in a SINGLE #RealisticVirtualEarth - and in the ~200 online WUaS teaching hospitals ..."
 https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/easter-island-chile-rapa-nui-report-all.html - and per Harvard and MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church's recent Tweet (in blog post too) -
https://link.medium.com/7zL63vauY3    Thanks Ed. Rapid response capabilities needed: molecular diagnostics, vaccines, neutralizing antibodies, and homes easily converted to off-the-grid full-recycling quarantine-biospheres. Not just for this epidemic, but the next one.
https://twitter.com/geochurch/status/1227150486320615424?s=20 too.
How to parse all this remarkable information as this situation develops - and between all of us in communication with experts (presumably creating these web site updates)? What information sites would you suggest looking at? And about CA earthquake preparedness too?

>>>>> >
>>>>> > Brainstorming-wise, and with regards to successful interventions for your addiction and alcoholism patients, I wonder if you/RIA might be able to network with Project Baseline, and use getting your patients into a Project Baseline clinic IDEA, or similar, (your own clinics? ) to give their physical samples of blood, sweat, tears, saliva, stool, etc., and do a cardio exam in a clinic (or eventually even from home), where Project Baseline would then turn these physical samples into data ... to chart a path way to health for them. This is the idea behind Project Baseline as I understand it but best to 'brush up' on your Project Baseline knowledge for yourself, from Youtubes or similar) ...
>>>>> >
>>>>> > So if your patients could be 'incentivized' to change their drinking habits and by getting on a cardio machine (and to exercise) initially, in the name of contributing to science and a study, and get into the clinic too, they might be incentivized to change their alcoholic behavior - a kind of educational approach too - and then you might be able to show further results, and thereby help you get RIA into the value chain (ie financial reimbursement loops). Your Stanford and MIT links might help you find your way into openings in Project Baseline study, created by Alphabet / Google / Verily / Stanford / Duke University 10,000 person project / study (and Project Baseline may already be showing results among alcoholics - re data to show Anthem etc.).

I picked up another head lamp yesterday for $6.97 which will serve too as a lantern, and which will do the job for now as a backup one (which could work in backpacking tents as a lantern, and IMPORTANTLY frees up both hands). I also picked up another 12 pack of canned vegetables as emergency food, this being earthquake country. Glad power is on.

On this ridge and with the house's full exposure rooves, in the California 10-month summer sun, there's a perfect testing opportunity. The passive solar water heater - with 2nd water tank as storage unit/almost battery - that went in about 4 years increases efficiency greatly, but it's solar panel energy system isn't a standalone success yet.

Centaurea cyanus (Bachelor's button): plans for long-term stock market in California - LTSE ... and WUaS? * * How might 'compliance courses for lawyers et al.,' regulating, hypothetically, the Pi cryptocurrency which is available "off the shelf" (from the Google Play Store) be regulated by the GDPR in the EuroZone ... and potentially regarding, Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT), which are Blockchain ledger distributed systems, European Union currency law, and Law Pilot courses - and in WUaS Law Schools in each of all 28 EU countries - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School.

Dear Larry,

Just looked up further ... 'plans for long-term stock market California - LTSE' - the so-called Silicon Valley stock exchange

Could the WUaS Press be a founding company on this stock exchange ?  Since I think WUaS is very long term oriented investing-wise re a kind of index investing (and socially responsible too, in a Friendly sense) approach, it seems like an opening.

Looks like:

"U.S. regulators approve new Silicon Valley stock exchange"
https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN1SG21K

https://ltse.com

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Term_Stock_Exchange

Here's an interview with Eric Ries, the LTSE's founder - https://youtu.be/x6DYUanRdGE ...

https://www.investopedia.com/new-silicon-valley-stock-exchange-approved-by-sec-4687018

WUaS being in California could open legal possibilities re the state of California in these regards.

Sincerely, Scott


PS

Hi Philipp (Law Pilot), Roland (Stanford Law CodeX) and Maeve, (and Larry),

This article just appeared yesterday in World Univ & Sch's daily Twitter Newsletter (via Paper.li), which I don't control or edit (and am not sure who or what chooses the daily article and photo+) - 

Sweden’s Central Bank Finally Embraces DLT, But Only in Simulation Mode
https://www.coindesk.com/swedens-central-bank-finally-embraces-dlt-but-only-in-simulation-mode

I was able to create a Twitter post that connects this article with the WUaS Twitter newspaper here - 

I think Riksbank is Sweden's central bank: 
"The Riksbank is Sweden's central bank. We ensure that money retains its value and that payments can be made safely and efficiently. We also issue banknotes ... " per https://www.riksbank.se/en-gb/.

Am curious how WUaS Law Schools in all ~200 countries' official languages, and potentially in collaboration with Stanford Law CodeX and Law Pilot regarding its GDPR compliance courses could explore what's developing here - and in terms of courses, law schools, as well as WUaS plans for, brainstorming-wise, a Wikidata PIN # for each of all 7.5 billion people on the planet and regarding UBI experiments, partly to DISTRIBUTE a single digital currency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks (with the Euro in 19 out of 28 countries being a building block here).

Part of the question here is how might 'compliance courses for lawyers et al.,' regulating, hypothetically, the Pi cryptocurrency which is available "off the shelf" (from the Google Play Store) be regulated by the GDPR in the EuroZone ... and potentially regarding, Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT), which are Blockchain ledger distributed systems, European Union currency law, and Law Pilot courses - and in WUaS Law Schools in each of all 28 EU countries - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School

All the best, Scott

Am including an email below to the chair of the WUaS Board, Larry Viehland, which I sent last night regarding this and much more (and will blog about this tomorrow probably - and in the UBI label).


Dear Larry,

Just looked up further ... 'plans for long-term stock market California - LTSE' - the so-called Silicon Valley stock exchange

Could the WUaS Press be a founding company on this stock exchange ?  Since I think WUaS is very long term oriented investing-wise re a kind of index investing (and socially responsible too, in a Friendly sense) approach, it seems like an opening.

Looks like:

"U.S. regulators approve new Silicon Valley stock exchange"



Here's an interview with Eric Ries, the LTSE's founder - https://youtu.be/x6DYUanRdGE ...


WUaS being in California could open legal possibilities re the state of California in these regards.

Sincerely, Scott

Hi Lukas,

I just updated this blog entry - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/peak-district-bill-gates-and-steve-jobs.html - with your information.

Do you have a LinkedIn profile? (Mine is https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottgkmacleod/)
In the meantime, it's with regards to the idea of hikers and hillwalkers WIKI-contributing their own experiences in video and photos (via Google Glass Enterprise, for example) into something like Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth (with AllTrails) that could make all the hikes  that 10 Adventures offers accessible by other people, including disabled people (and created in part, too, by your hikers). (I'm calling this process of wiki-adding to a virtual world ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy, eg see https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/11/waters-36-slides-from-uc-berkeley-talk.html - and see the 'label' for this in my blog too). It would be great to communicate further about how some of this could work.  It might be something 10 Adventures could even reach out to prospective hikers for your organized trips with - the opportunity via a kind of community service to help create the hikes you offer virtually. Hikers might love this, - and spread out all over the globe doing this (including esp. on 10 Adventures' trips).
Kind regards, Scott

to me

Hey Scott,

Thanks for getting back to me. So firstly, the Veggie Vegabonds isn't me :) I have had a chat with them some time ago, but those are two different entities on the web. Mine is 10Adventures.com. I use the .co email as I email a lot, and I use the .com one just for internal stuff mainly.

This is actually the link I was hoping you might want to have a look at https://www.10adventures.com/hikes/peak-district-national-park/. And I was hoping you might want to link to it. This would be a huge help to boost this region higher on Google.

As for your ideas, I do like the idea of being able to experience the whole trail in VR. Or just to walk it on the screen. I think it would help people who want to know what to expect. It might not be suitable for those who like surprises. My wife has a fear of exposure and sometimes we don't know if she can go on a hike as sometimes we read comments about exposure but we don't know how bad it is. So there's a risk to get stuck on trails that way. But, saying that, on 10Adventures, each route has been created by real people. That's actually what we are promoting. Instead of putting the routes together by looking at google or other maps, sitting at home, never doing them ourselves, the collaborators we found and the guys at 10Adventures personally have hiked these routes and recorded the GPS. So in a way, I think your idea is useful, but then it also allows everyone to appear as an expert for all the trails, without any real knowledge about the real deal.

An example is Alltrails.com. The route descriptions are autogenerated. And they rely completely on the comments of people who update the route information. But not all routes are popular or have even been walked by someone. this means, if you pick a route on that website, you rely on someone creating the route (possibly auto-creating the GPS too) and auto-created text about the terrain. This might not be the most reliable way of hiking, especially talking about the more difficult trails.

But, I do imagine your idea would be great. I imagine it would be awesome to have for each route, so people could do a test walk on their computer before choosing to do that trail.

Well, please let me know what you think about the Peak District guide. I would really appreciate it, and it would really help me a lot if you'd link to it. But I will fully understand if you are not interested.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Lukas

Hi, Lukas,

Thanks for your email. Is this you - https://veggievagabonds.com/yosemite-national-park-hiking-trails/? Photos in my daily blog posts are sometimes related to their content, sometimes not. Am happy to add a link to your guide to this blog post (but I don't think the post has that many readers). Please send the link and I'll add it.

With regard to your '10adventures.co' hillwalking project - https://www.10adventures.com/our-contributors/#lukass - am curious what you're observing about virtual hiking or walking. Am seeking to facilitate a realistic virtual earth for everything including virtual hiking from home, for example, and with regards to, for example, Google Street View - https://twitter.com/rmbyrne/status/1232048856831078402?s=20. Will we be able to hike all 2650 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail or through the Peak District on an elliptical, and from home, in a digital mask? To be seen ... (Much of this emerges from my actual-virtual, physical digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project, and visit the Harbin Hot Springs' gate here ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ and "walk" down the road "4 miles" to Middletown, CA (accessible from https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~).

And will hikers be able to add to this developing realistic virtual earth (think Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth +) with something like Google Glass Enterprise (see below).

Regards, and cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott,

I am writing to you regarding your article "Peak District: Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were pretty good friends", which I have found here: http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/peak-district-bill-gates-and-steve-jobs.html. I thought it's great.

In this article, you have mentioned The Peak District. I have actually written a detailed and accurate region guide about The Peak District, that I would love to show to you. I think it has all the information about each trail, thorough route guides, and even GPS coordinates anyone can download for free.

I was hoping you might be interested in seeing it. And I also wanted to ask, is there anything I could do that would make you consider linking to my guide about The Peak District?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Lukas

Hey Candace, (Alden, Dieter and Lukas/Mindaugas),

How are you, Candace? And where are you- and after all your perambulations? Am thinking further about virtual National Park hiking, or virtual hiking, and especially after further talking with Alden Smith ' 07 at a Thirsty Thursday in SF (thanks, too, to Dieter '01 above for convening this). Are you the head of the National Park Service, Candace '96, and based out of Death Valley NP, by any chance? :) ... or right up there at least :)

I just came across Maine-r Richard Byrne's "How to Measure Distance & Share Views in Google Earth" - https://youtu.be/zwDmWFOYc4o - on Twitter ... "Tour U.S. National Parks in Google Earth" - https://twitter.com/rmbyrne/status/1232048856831078402?s=20  (https://www.blog.google/products/earth/visit-us-national-parks-google-earth/ and http://edtechfitness.com/tour-u-s-national-parks-in-google-earth/) - and it made me wonder further about your and my conversation concerning virtual hiking in Death Valley NP, - and even for the benefits of movement on elliptical machines etc. from home. Alden had mentioned the word "effort" regarding what's involved in visiting places (re tourism), as we talked at the Reed College Thirsty Thursday, and I find this interesting since one definition of tourism per MacCannell, p.42, relates to "For the purposes of this paper, tourism can be defined as visiting marked sites, often involving travel, or more specifically, following offsite markers to onsite markers" - http://scottmacleod.com/anth250v.htm (and https://www.academia.edu/15259682/Gazing_at_the_Box_Tourism_in_the_Context_of_the_Internet_and_Globalization_Internetity_ ). So if one explores further, regarding a kind of social theory of tourism, the idea of effort as part of visiting places, and in lieu of traveling even, it seems possible to generate effort from home on elliptical machines. If one were viewing sites in a digital mask, or the back of one's glasses, I'd posit that this is a touristic experience as well. So how to generate such virtual touristic experiences further - and from the field?

And in what ways, Candace, might we explore hikers in Death Valley NP, and even with Google Glass Enterprise, with the TensorFlow chip (semiconductor) for images and working with Google TensorFlow AI software, while hiking and streaming video and images into Google Street View with time slider from the field? (Am currently emailing about this with 10 Adventures' Lukas Savella, originally from Lithuania, as well).

And in a related vein, brainstorming-wise, could we combine the above with keying flower species biologically with an App like this - in Death Valley NP:

Could this App that 'helps the visually impaired identify surroundings' with voice https://twitter.com/Paula_Piccard/status/1231771870514384896?s=20 be beginnings of 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth for DATA -& in recognizing hibiscus, labradors & pineapple & fruit, keying ALL 3-100mil. SPECIES  #RealisticVirtualEarthForSpecies?



https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1232413162747523072?s=20

Reed best regards, Scott



Alden, 

Explored about "home movement," or "effort" to use your word, for example, when virtually travelling in Google Street View in a digital mask, in 2018, and regarding elliptical machines, treadmills etc here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/12/ceres-dwarf-planet-thanks-astroedlu-for.html - but am further interested in, as we talked, about particularly the researching meditation in the Harbin warm pool from home virtually. 

More soon in an email to Candace. 

Nice to meet and talk with you at the Reed Thirsty Thursday recently. 

Regards, Scott

Hi Scott,

thank you for adding the link, I really appreciate it.

This is my Linkedin profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mindau/. Don't get confused by the name, I use Lukas as, sadly, more people reply to that than my original name. I have sent you an invite on Linkedin.

I start to see a clearer picture of what you meant. I do find your idea interesting. 

Would you have a source with more explanation on that, so I could share it with the team? I would like to share this with my CEO and some contributors. I want to see if this is something that would interest us to participate in. As it's not entirely up to me to decide. 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Lukas

Mindaugas/Lukas,

Thanks for your email, and LinkedIn. Currently these are just ideas (with much in my blog, but not organized around a business - and orchestrating the Google Glass Enterprise into Google Street View isn't 'there' yet that I know of), but will get back to you as soon as possible.
