Bryce Canyon National Park: WUaS Monthly Business Meeting ~ Jan 16, 2021 ~ video recording ~ for A) World Univ & Sch, and B) the WUaS Press (WUaS Minutes for MBM to come)

Next: Crimson columbine: Narendra Modi, the head of India, and now the startup capital of the world is beginning to look like a hippy with its 1.3 billion people, and somewhat religious culture in modernity - .. but in my experience, Indians in large numbers are ur-hippies with their colorful clothing, and often happy celebratory (even trippy in some ways) religious celebrations, so as head of WUaS I'm still on the fence about when or if to cut my growing hair * Some humor about this from Nov 23, 2020: :) Top Brass Moving & Storage: "Move him out of the WH' All 4 wings, Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines - US Law & Mitch for Repubs say it's time - End the #CockamamieCoup. He's mentally ill, & not upholding the constitution, or the vote of USA's people; Navy, you come up Chesapeake (Potomac) * * Another warning about side effects from covid-19 vaccine in a German paper - Corona vaccination * * Did I miss an opportunity on Friday in not applying to become a Stanford CodeX Fellow in Stanford Law? * * UU Church of Kensington Berkeley walk * The Allman Brothers Band Featuring Jerry Garcia ‎– Live at the Cow Palace, 1973 * * * visiting in Canyon 94516 * Thanks again for visiting me in Canyon 94516, and thanks for your email. Some further brainstorming, re en guard for the upcoming inauguration. And how to prevent anything untoward, since it's the prevention aspect that has much merit, since once some significant violence is perpetrated, things can spiral out of control to further atrocious violence * What further could be reason, Susan and All, for an identity / culture / the "Baked Alaskas" to disrupt this particular election and ritual inauguration transfer of regimes of power on Wednesday, re what the outgoing sick president stands to lose if he doesn't retain power? : My identity / culture hypothesis further (even re Castells' book "The Power of Identify" - and it's a significant theme in anthropology, sociology and the social sciences, academically ... ) And who could do this? TootsNJohns could be one group? * TootsNJohns could make up a kind of cockamamie coup army - These aren't student protester identities of the '60s &'70s organizing for a better society or civil rights or peace re the American war in Vietnam
Previous: Makoshika State Park (Bad Lands, Montana): MIT CSAIL https://twitter.com/MIT_CSAIL/status/1338916735294959616?s=20 Tweet to illustrate this research lab's creativity & re #WUaScollaborations & an #ActualVirtual #RealisticVirtualEarth, & for #PhysicalDigital #WUaSrobotics, in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics @WorldUnivAndSch PhDs? worldunversityandschool.org ~ * * * Some beats along the way :) Gene Krupa-Big Noise From Winnetka into the Drums' wiki subject, and inspiring drummer Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead * This Tweet from Mickey Hart just popped up earlier - https://twitter.com/mickeyhart/status/1350120060355010560?s=20 - and he was one of 2 drummers in the (most inspiring to me) Grateful Dead rock and roll band, 1965-1995, but which were particularly great from 1965-1979 for me (with my scholarly interest in the 1960s and '70s - and legacy thereof in India too) * In terms of even creating jobs in India in its 461 languages (14 of which are extinct) with World Univ & Sch, how to best let people add the above - in Tamil for example - History?, Ethnomusicology? Drumming? Rock and Roll? or let any India wiki-teacher or wiki learner add their own category .... * * * WUaS PhD program candidates * Please explore the wiki side of World Univ & Sch, and about which you'll find some inspiring ideas on the wiki side here - in conversation partly with Prasanth, and even in terms of creating large numbers of jobs in India in all 461 known living languages in India

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages (planned in 7,117 known living languages, each a wiki school for open teaching and learning)

WUaS academic and creative open wiki subjects, planned in all 7,117 languages too -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects





World Univ & Sch
Agenda & News


A
World Univ & Sch has 2.5 prospective PhD graduate students for this autumn 2021, and WUaS is wondering about collaboration with MIT Admissions - https://twitter.com/MITstudents/status/1349417230623272960?s=20) - and if they might apply to WUaS through even.


A1
WUaS partnering with edX continues, and WUaS is seeking 150 undergraduate students for free-to-students' CC-4 best STEM OpenCourseWare-centric Bachelor degrees beginning May 1, 2021, or September 1, 2021 in English, from all ~200 countries. 


A2
WUaS has reached out to Anthony Willoughby, an alumnus of Harrow in these regards, with an inquiry about WUaS seeking Harrow graduates for free-to-students' online Bachelor degrees - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/eastern-screech-owl.html .



B
One of WUaS's prospective graduate students, Prasanth Karuppasamy, in Madurai, India, is already beginning to translate the MIT OCW Circuits and Electronics' course into the Tamil language - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mc6PsDUlU3J7dLEvoeTYplLzm3U7F9XXwJI7j_kZKVs/edit?usp=sharing - with the approach outlined below, and which could become the basis of the WUaS Academic Press with machine learning for all ~200 countries' official languages (and indeed in all 7,117 known living languages) in GDocs even. Such a translation process is a great way for Prasanth to learn and even eventually teach this course material in Tamil and English, I'd think.

Could WUaS add the entire MIT OCW course - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-002-circuits-and-electronics-spring-2007/ - into GDocs, and then with Google Translate THANKS TO GLOBAL EDUCATOR GROUP (GEG) coders, have it automatically emerge in a second GDocs' document - eg "into Tamil language - Circuits and Electronics" https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mc6PsDUlU3J7dLEvoeTYplLzm3U7F9XXwJI7j_kZKVs/edit?usp=sharing ?

So, brainstorming-wise, and in creating a new machine translation academic press in GDocs, how to translate CC-4 MIT OCW's Circuit and Electronics - 



B1
Prasanth is seeking to join WUaS beginning with this WUaS Monthly Business Meeting as well. 



C
free money with Stanford Mine Pi

And interestingly, WUaS's 2 prospective PhD students, and another WUaS Academic contact are availing themselves of Pi cryptocurrency already, and via my network. To get  free money daily with the Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency now, use this code: sgkmac 
from minepi.com/sgkmac on your smartphone, and every 24 hours you can 'mine' it by clicking a button, and getting more Stanford 'Mine Pi' crypto-currency for free.



D
WUaS will soon receive sign the Project ECHO-WUaS Academic Medical Center partnership legal documents for ~200 online WUaS academic medical centers (eg ~200 online medical schools, in ~200 countries' languages, and ~200 online teaching hospitals) with Project ECHO (based at the University of New Mexico), and in the context of meeting its founder Sanjeev Arora MD at a Stanford Medicine Grand Rounds he presented in 2017 (with some potential here for WUaS partnering too with Stanford Medicine for open course ware for medicine, since MIT has neither a medical school nor a law school, and for CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in these areas). 



E
WUaS's federal 990-N card 

WUaS also just successfully filed our 2020 990-N card continuing our federal 501 c 3 status (and in California, WUaS is 2 separate legal entities - see: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/indiana-bat.html). 





WUaS Press / Corp


1
The WUaS Press is seeking, and has begun in a beginning way, to develop a new academic press in GDocs with machine translation for all ~200 countries' official and main languages, and potentially for all 7,117 known living languages. These book would print to paper, and be post-able, or mail-able, in most of all ~200 countries too. 



2
During the WUaS Annual Meeting on Dec 19, 2020, Chair of the WUaS Board, Larry Viehland, contributed $200 US dollars to the WUaS Corp, and for this received 20 shares in a certificate. Please contact WUaS if you might be interested. 



3
WUaS is exploring, too, listing on the emerging LONG-TERM Silicon Valley Stock Exchange. This would include WUaS planning for all 7.8 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item #, and potentially to distribute via UBI experiments a cryptocurrency, like Stanford Mine Pi (possibly backed by most of ~200 countries' central banks, post Euro, for ex.), to alleviate poverty.



4
A new book in the Poetry Press at World Univ & Sch - and planned with machine translation: 

Light, Float, Sit, #Watsu ~ Virtually: Bodymind Electricity Sings to Me at #HarbinHotSprings & Other Traveling Poems' (book) is AVAILABLE ! :)
Paperback – January 1, 2021 by @SGKMacLeod (Author)
