Glad to have received a dollar amount from edX for WUaS partnering with edX Online Campus: unlimited course enrollments for 50 WUaS students of $17,450 for one term (for January - April 2021?) which money WUaS will now seek to fundraise for (and eventually seek a $55,000 per year per student as reimbursements from nation states' and their counties' departments of education, and as WUaS seeks to build to MIT VALUE online degrees. 

WUaS continues to seek 50 - 400 students for January 2021 to take verified edX courses (which edX said they would help with in terms of outreach too).

(See, too, below: "Your edX Online Campus Inquiry (from edX's Marissa DePaolo to Scott MacLeod at WUaS) Thursday, October 15, 2020)

WUaS is seeking a coder or programmer at edX, or at Google, to take on the WUaS G Suite for Education for our WUaS matriculating undergraduate program this January, as well as for planning for reimbursement from all ~200 countries (and even, brainstorming-wise for all 7.8 billion people on planet).

Professor Gabriel Leung - 

Thanks for your excellent Stanford Asia Health talk just now - https://twitter.com/StanfordSAPARC/status/1316888979581460480?s=20.

I'm curious in addition to the question I asked - 

"Thank you, Prof. Leung, How could you see the Apple-Google Coronavirus tracing App being helpful at this stage of the pandemic, and given the media about 2nd and 3rd waves - especially in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, the US, Canada (and other countries you’re familiar with, out of the ~200 countries in the world)? Thank you and best regards, Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)" ...

about planning for avatar bot electronic medical records and, brainstorming-wise, for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, and eventually for tele-roobotic surgery, as well as potentially mapping individuals' genome, and re Covid-19 too. 

Thanks for your "trust in governance ..." reply to my question too.

Such an Apple-Google Coronavirus tracing App, as well as electronic medical records and, brainstorming-wise, for all 7.8 billion people on the planet would be for the next epidemic too - 

and regarding CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric online Medical Schools in all ~200 countries -

with online teaching hospitals -

and in their official and main languages 
Languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages

... at CC-4 MIT OCW-centric World University and School, and since MIT doesn't have a Med Sch (or a Law Sch), I'm seeking for these to emerge in collaboration with Stanford Medicine, (and Stanford Law).. Looking forward to staying in touch.

Regarding WUaS's 6 majors - EECS, Gen. Science, Gen. Engineering, English, History, Business - initially, and for undergraduates, 

WUaS is exploring offering a hands-on online 'WUaS Computer Gaming' track in our EECS major, and with edX courses.

Could the introductory course for this be: 

'CS50's Introduction to Game Development
https://www.edx.org/course/cs50s-introduction-to-game-development

(See, too: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/10/tabebuia-roseo-alba.html)

This would be in addition to - 

'WUaS Home Robotics' re our General Engineering Major

- and a - 

'WUaS realistic virtual earth for history' - re our History major 

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/12/pacific-coast-ranges-how-best-to-add.html

Wondering how a Prof. Hugh Thomas who wrote 'The English and the Normans: Ethnic Hostility, Assimilation, and Identity 1066 - c.1220' could develop history in a COMPLETELY NEW way in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory @WUaSPress #RealisticVirtualEarth thinking Google Streetview+

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1078496075944771592?s=20

https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory?src=hashtag_click

And how to create as interesting tracks for our other three majors? -

General Science

English

Business

.... and all initially via verified edX courses (eg. from MIT OCW > edX???) in part?

WUaS Corporation / WUaS Press

A

The WUaS Corporation - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - seeks to create 

2.2 million jobs, in our actual-virtual, physical-digital 'big box,' medium-sized box, and small boxes' retail WUaS Educational Services Stores for books, computers, robotics, and hospital technologies + - with some cafes for food - in all ~200 countries' universities, and in all 7,117 known living languages;

(and World University and School seeks too to create an enormous numbers of faculty careers, and in all ~200 universities, and 7,117 known living languages) 

- so on both wings, and see - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/15-planned-wuas-revenue-streams-both.html.

B

How to begin to sell 'officially' WUaS Lego robotics - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - in other countries, besides the USA, and both online and on-the-ground? Combine with WUaS-edX roll out?

C

How best to proceed with WUaS facilitating a single cryptocurrency distributed via UBI experiments in most of all of ~200 countries - to alleviate poverty - and with Wikidata PIN #s for all 7.8 billion wiki teachers and learners? 

D

How best to develop an IT platform and for WUaS Educational Services' Store 

- http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - and for students to buy and sell their own textbooks too in a kind of open market place? Collaborate with Google in a WUaS-edX roll out?

Your edX Online Campus Inquiry

(from edX's Marissa DePaolo to Scott MacLeod at WUaS)

Thursday, October 15, 2020

Dear Marissa, 

Since you began this email thread, I'm writing to you as well as to Matthew, Cameron (and Carolina) as a an edX team regarding World University and School. 

Thanks to Matthew for sending pricing for 50 matriculating WUaS undergraduate students this January 2021 in 6 majors - of $17,450, as WUaS proceeds with licensing and accrediting potentially edX courses for both Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees. And thanks too to Matthew for letting WUaS know that edX doesn't have native integration with G Suite for Education, which G Suite (for Education) World University and School has been in for a number of years. It's in G Suite for Education that WUaS will eventually seek reimbursement from departments of education in all ~200 countries, and, with time, at what MIT itself asks for for an undergraduate degree (about $55,000) per year. In these regards, glad to see this morning on Twitter from Anant Agarwal that Google is joining edX - https://twitter.com/agarwaledu/status/1316732494394404864?s=19 - and in offering a course.

Unfortunately, however, and regarding edX pricing, WUaS doesn't have any money to speak of whatsoever. I could share with you the small list of grants WUaS has applied for unsuccessfully, as well as the October 2020 Grants' newsletter out of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi's office in SF, if this helps. And since WUaS doesn't have a fundraising track record, would you by any chance be able to 'introduce,' or put WUaS in contact with, a first key funding source, before WUaS can set up WUaS Suite for Education for reimbursement from all ~206 countries - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Summer_Olympics_Parade_of_Nations - and their counties or states departments of education (as WUaS seeks their 'academic Olympic athlete students')? 

I think WUaS could also benefit with someone at edX, or similar (eg for WUaS to hire, or engage someone at Google itself), to take on the administration of the WUaS G Suite for Education for our WUaS matriculating undergraduate program this January, as well as for planning for reimbursement from all ~200 countries (and even, brainstorming-wise for all 7.8 billion people on planet, each a wiki teacher or learner). 

WUaS may also explore reaching out to contacts in the US State Department initially - and regarding the $17,450 for 50 students for unlimited edX enrollments beginning in January. 

Thanks to Matthew for having done his edX business development job, and for giving WUaS some edX dollar figures to work with. Marissa, might you also be in a position to put us further in communication with Cameron Kaubris, for ex., about potential introductions to funding sources? 

Also, Matthew, is the $17,450 for a 4 month period, - or for what time period does edX have in mind for the dollar figures of ~$349 per student or $17,450?  I'm wondering also about WUaS's 4 month terms (Jan-Apr, May-Aug, Sep-Dec), and what edX has planned for the self-pricing model of $350 per student - and toward WUaS's planned 4-year (with students basically taking 40 15-week-long CC-4 MIT OCW courses, roughly 10 per year, conceptually adapted into MITx or edX courses) for free-to-students' best STEAM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric degrees (as WUaS licenses and accredits with agencies in California). 

Thank you. 

Sincerely, Scott

Scottish Small Piping lessons

Taylor, 

thanks for sharing the tune Gingling Geordie ... appreciating Callum Armstrong's explorations of it ... and both with an accompanying instrument (cello?), and in other keys (I think), and experimentally (eg at around 2:55 - I hear some Steeleye Span-like sounds in it too, which I enjoy) ... as well as his bringing music to the academic library (looks like a very 'Edinburgh library' too) from the inside ... by playing from the Dixon manuscript with bagpipes there ... and while it's not bringing rock and roll piping inside this Edinburgh library, it could head in that direction:)

Am appreciating again and again too this week the what I hear as exploding FIREWORKS (throughout due to his fingering technique) and unfolding BEGINNINGS of Yuan Sheng playing Bach Partitas here - https://youtu.be/s_num0eZIQ8 - (which amazing recording I've shared with you before). Am wondering how to bring such FIREWORKS and unfolding BEGINNINGS into both my upcoming SSP album, and our learning together. 

I cam across too this Tweet this morning - 

'Jimmy Page says he “reconnected with guitar” during lockdown'
https://twitter.com/RhapsodyML/status/1316767384414359552?s=20

(& also re these Ma & Marsalis Guidelines - http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm - re # 12 esp,, in a new way)

... and am wondering how further to connect with our bagpipes in the way Led Zeppelin band members connected with their music and instruments.

While Gingling Geordie isn't the metaphorical 'Bach music' of some of the tunes on my upcoming "Honey in the Bag" album (for me), it's fun (for me) to explore how Gingling Geordie might even become so ...  but there's something about the metaphorocal 'JS Bach composition' in great bagpipe tunes (for me) that I'd like to explore fulsomely too. (What is a lyrical tune (for me)? and What is a metaphorical JA Bach bagpipe tune?)

Taylor, "MacKintosh's Banner" is a lovely Piobaireachd (a 'Bach composition' in a sense too, for me) and looking forward 'to PIobaireachd-ing' with you tonight :) ... as well as to 'The Glasgow Police Pipers' and 'Gingling Geordie.'

Musical Cheers, 

Scott

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/09/monotropa-uniflora-piobaireachd.html 

(and just found this from 2017 - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/06/aurora-played-piobaireachd-companys.html - and re "The Company's Lament") ...

beauty and Piobaireachd? - again and to revisit -

All apart from what I'll coin as 'Piobaireachd philosophy,' here are a definition and some thoughts/connections about beauty (re Ma & Marsalis, initially) and Piobaireachd ...

Here's a definition of beauty: 

"a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, (especially the sight)"

2 never make a sound without hearing it first; hear it in your mind.

4 join feelings into your music when you feel bad, to integrate your feelings with your mind and body.

5 Relax and practice slowly.

7 Practice expressively.
Be serious – invest yourself expressively.

10 Think for yourself.
Don’t become a robot, but don’t dismiss what you’re taught.

12 Look for connections. (Make the social aspect of practicing regenerative - S.M.)
Music washes away the dust of everyday life from your feet.

and ... 

B

synthesize all 4 Piobaireachds in CoP Yellow Tutor Vol. 4 together in your bodymind into 'one computer program' for playing all 200-300 'major' Piobaireachds (and not just the form underlying "The Company's Lament"? :) ... would take 'deep listening' and internalization :)

and ...

C

exploring the Dixon manuscript may be a fascinating way to bring into circulation again new great tunes ...

"William Dixon manuscript - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › William_Dixon_manuscript

The William Dixon manuscript, written down between 1733 and 1738 in Northumberland, is the oldest known manuscript of pipe music from the British Isles, and the most important source of music for the Border pipes" 

... and even regarding - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_smallpipes_and_borderpipes - with Scottish smallpipes not only emerging from the GHB but also from Northumbrian and borders' piping ... 

But how too to find the most lyrical tunes, in general, to each of our ears? ... Write an algorithm for this (with echoes of brilliant Tufts' Anthropology Prof. Nick Seaver's work on the culture of algorithm and recommender systems ... and now there's some similar in Google Tensorflow https://twitter.com/npseaver/status/1308872685661888514?s=20 ... )

D

I'd like to be able to think & speak as remarkably as Princeton philosopher, and Humean, David Kellogg Lewis - https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/david-lewis/ - does philosophically, but regarding beauty and Piobaireachd, and maybe we can explore with time in conversation ... (since this Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article says he wrote in the field of aesthetics too :) 

... and here's something with David Lewis in the title from UC Davis Social Sciences (as a kind of expression of a 'California school of philosophy' even? ... I went to a Stanford conference on this a few years ago (in blog too))

Looks like Siubhal may have been misspelled in Yellow Tutor - 

Siubhal

A type of Piobaireachd variation, pronounced "shoo-al", similar to the Dithis. Consisting of a G gracenote to Low A, followed by the theme note. If the theme note is a B or C, it is accompanied by a D gracenote.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_bagpipe_terms

Let's explore further the Canntaireachd too for the siubhal :)

Thoughts, questions, ideas, suggestions? 

Cheers, 

Scott
