Dear Universitians, 

The @WorldUnivAndSch (@WUaSPress) Monthly Business Meeting meets HERE: http://meet.google.com/kjy-uopm-vmz this Sat 11/20/21, at 9 am PT, 5 pm UTC, from ANY time zone ~ OR email info@ worlduniversityandschool.org - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/Business%20Meeting - if interested in joining this OPEN (& hour-long) meeting

World University and School
(a 501 c 3 nonprofit in the USA, and a non-profit also in the state of California, and see below - http://worlduniversityandschool.org)
planned in each of ~200 countries, and in all 7,139 known living languages, and in all 'extinct' languages too.


1
Since 1) World University and School (2014 IRS ruling year as a 501 c 3 non-profit charity), and the 2) WUaS Corporation (2017 incorporation in California as a for profit general stock company with the state of CA / FTB) now, seem to be having some trouble getting going financially, after about 14 or 15 years, - and having just received yesterday evening a Grants'.gov "November Grants Innovation Exchange Session" invitation  - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/november-grants-innovation-exchange-session-new-unique-entity-id-sam-tickets-205882358677 - to attend a "sold out" virtual meeting this morning - whatever all this may mean (ethically too), - am wondering, Larry, whether there might be an opportunity regarding the recent WUaS CA Franchise Tax Board's communications - with a number of organizations, hypothetically? 

Glad World Univ & Sch can view, newly, the US govt's' OMB's "Innovation Exchange Sessions" - https://www.cfo.gov/financial-assistance/resources/innovation-exchanges.html - now. And, if the CA FTB is in communication with a number of new California for-profit general stock company legal entities, could they be discussing the WUaS Corporation and the new Silicon Valley Long-term Stock Market as two of these? And could there be an opportunity for WUaS to begin to get going financially, in working with the state of CA? (And could the "Industry" side of WUaS, the WUaS Corporation then begin eventually to fund and to endow academic faculty chairs in, say, A) Quantum physics, or B) Home Robotics, or C) Realistic Virtual Earth Development Wiki-Studies for Tele-Robotic Surgery, etc., - in one single realistic virtual earth for everything - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth?src=hashtag_click
 (think Google Street View with time slider, TensorFlow AI +) - on the "Academic" side at World University and School, per an ISSIP workshop idea, 12/18/21 yesterday?

WUaS in Google Workspace for Education

Glad to have attended the following 


Added the whole conference for viewing talks missed - 



If it were possible to collaborate further with Google Workspace for Education in a timely way, and with Google with its 140,000 employees, 
when, hypothetically, would WUaS diverge from Google, and thus be able to hire our own WUaS faculty and staff, and since WUaS has no money to speak of whatsoever?  


And if WUaS can hire 2.3 million people over time, how would WUaS best plan for hiring regarding 1) World Univ & Sch ? 800,000 people in 20 years, or sooner? 

(So, would WUaS aim for hiring about 1/3rd of these, so 800,000 people on the Academic Wing, and
- 2/3rds, so 1,400,000 people on the Industry wing - the WUaS Corporation - in Educational Services' stores, with an actual-virtual, physical-digital Big Box, Middle Box, Little Box retail strategy for online/on-the-ground Bookstores/Cafes, Computer Stores, Robotics' Stores, Hospital Technologies' Distribution centers?)

In what ways could Google's development in Australia with "a A$1B commitment in infrastructure, research, and partnerships to help more Australians access the benefits of technology" work with World Univ & Sch (and the WUaS Corporation) regarding WUaS planning?

Sundar Pichai just Tweeted the following about Google's commitment to Australia, so further, how could WUaS collaborate with them, and regarding both 1) reimbursement on the WUaS non-profit side, from other countries' departments of Education, as well as 2) setting up Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital Educational Services' stores in all 200 countries ?

See, too: 
Great @sundarpichai Wondering how this can be a model for @WorldUnivAndSch & @WUaSPress in all ~200 countries & in official & main languages, as online best STEM OCW.MIT.EDU -centric major universities, & as #WUaSEducationalServicesStores w Academic Press in 7k languages?

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/11/atlantic-spotted-dolphin.html

Sundar Pichai Tweets: 
"Proud to announce the Digital Future Initiative in Australia - a A$1B commitment in infrastructure, research, and partnerships to help more Australians access the benefits of technology & lead the next wave of global innovations."

Aging reversal AND longevity genetics' questions at World Univ & Sch, and regarding also a single realistic virtual earth for genetics - 

"Reversing aging was considered impossible until recently. But renowned scientist Dr. George Church says it's within our reach. He believes gene therapy holds the key to eliminating many of our toughest age-related chronic illnesses: diabetes, heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, cognitive decline, and more.

See Harvard and MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church - 
How soon could humans reverse the aging process with genetic engineering? (60 Minutes' 1 minute video) -

New 'Hindustani classical music' wiki subject page - 


Added these 2 following resources, plus a CC-4 MIT OCW course from Prof. George Ruckert, using once again the following citation practices:

Ruckert, George, with Hindole Majumdar. 2013. [https://youtu.be/qV28O7ggd1o George Ruckert (Sarod) with Hindole majumdar (Tabla) in MIT Boston]. April 10. (see, too - http://www.hindolemajumdar.com/about.php). Hindole4music: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-P8sxOOnl2Hh6L0TQdLsXQ.


MIT School of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences @MIT_SHASS. 2021. [https://twitter.com/MIT_SHASS/status/1461062341005660165 Take A Break: "Rag Shenan Mand" is a gorgeous East/West fusion of "Shenandoah" and Indian folk melodies, performed on the sarod (a 25-string lute) by the acclaimed MIT musician George Ruckert. Listen or download via the MIT Listening Room: http://bit.ly/2yOfqQO]. Nov 17. Cambridge, MA: https://twitter.com/MIT_SHASS/status/1461062341005660165.

In the 'Summary:'  box, after editing, I wrote"
"Adding new 'Hindustani classical music' wiki subject in English, updated the links' URLs to other Indian Music wiki subject pages at WUaS too"


With the above Marketplace idea, on the WUaS Corporation wing, am figuring out how and where to wiki-add such resources, like the Hindole Majumdar Tabla and Hindistani music school web site I found, for example - 

- and regarding planning for the 'World_University_Music_School' - 


6i
Please wiki-add ideas to World Univ & Sch open subjects, eg: 

"Raga and eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology is explicitly developed to my way of thinking in both Hindustani classical music (North Indian) and in Carnatic classical music (South Indian). For example, see:

Rhynchosia: Music shared, Eliciting Loving Bliss Neurophysiology and what pieces I would choose to do this re the Grateful Dead pre 1980 and Raga music and esp Yoyo Ma playing Bach Cello Suites in classical music, Loving Bliss Practices, Guidelines Practicing Loving Bliss v-a-v Musical Instrument

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/12/rhynchosia-music-shared-eliciting.html

This are interesting brain chemistry processes to explore, and especially in a realistic virtual earth for brain science - for example in a realistic virtual earth for STEM ... https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click - and for consciousness as well, and at the cellular and molecular levels too."

which I added to both the new - 
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hindustani_classical_music -
and to the Carnatic music, which has been a wiki subject for some years now - 
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Carnatic_Music

Abolition movement regarding illegal sex industry (following on abolition of slavery, in 1833 in Britain and in 1862 with Emancipation Proclamation in USA) further regarding protecting WUaS Universitians in planning to code for all the people on planet earth, each a Wikidata Pin # and re developing machine learning and artificial intelligence. Effective law enforcement and "tall' ubiquitous psychiatrists in all 200 countries and their main languages, and eventually with avatars as effective talk therapy, are focuses of WUaS

In what ways could or is Stanford Law CodeX join this conversation, or help to write new law for this, since it seems to have been these laws slightly less than 150 years ago that freed so many millions of people? 


8iii
Am still living in a 'safe house' and have no income to speak of, am impoverished, in a sense, and don't know where I will live in the spring - since Canyon may not become safe, since my dream was just a dream. Abolition ahead and yay for the freeing of millions of people since the US Civil War, etc, - but how will the laws change per our conversation (per a Dutch law rewrite for CA with internet) the other night, Ma? (Could Stanford Law and CodeX and Medicine, with Stanford Fellow Dutch cryptocurrency lawyer Thibault Schrepel help to write these - even, hypothetically, with friend David Thurston, and his Harvard Law trained father, re other US states and rental law? ... To protect people but with the commercial potential in mind too?) 


8iv
As a conscientious objector (CO) in a good Quaker or non-theistic Quaker f/Friendly, sense, am going to hold off from coming to Open Band until at least the new year even as a kind of whistle blowing protest. Am living in a 'safe house' and potentially seeking asylum in the spring, on the east coast or Europe or? ... for whistle blowing, and calling the Moraga police about 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon twice last summer, as well as whistle blowing about ethical wrong doing at Stanford, UC Berkeley, Berkeley Law, The SF QUAKER MEETING, Reed, Harbin (and regarding the illegal sex industry tragically) ... And am not seeking to become a victim.

Am not wanting to put WUaS at risk regarding planning to code also for 7.8 billion people for a single cryptocurrency backed by most central banks in the world ... and to end poverty via UBI Experiments such as with Stanford Mine Pi - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - for free money daily (with an invitation).

Glad to have gotten an inquiry for the "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book recently -

Hi Charlie, thanks for your email.
As you may have noticed the Kindle Edition's price of "Naked Harbin Ethnography" here -
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M1S3NMD/ - isn't so hefty as the paper version's (although it doesn't have an index). One of the ideas of this ethnographic book, hippies to the hot springs, is to actually enter into a realistic virtual Harbin in a virtual world, such as Street View, and soak there from our home bath tub, as we also all build out a realistic virtual Harbin ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~Cheer, Scott

More here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Harbin%20ethnography from a few years ago, re expansive description you mention.

Are you building anything virtually these days per https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlie-eddy-a68603173/ ? Have you added any pictures or videos to Google Street View yet, anywhere, as an initial form of 'building' in Street View (and with its TensorFlow AI in the background?)


Hello,
I am curious about the contents of your book about Harbin Hot Springs.
I have read the product description on your website and the webpage
you host describing the book. However, since it has a hefty price tag,
I am wondering if you could give me a somewhat more expansive
description of the book's contents before I make the decision to
purchase.

Thanks!

Charlie

WUaS Corporation Marketplace - and for students even to sell their own textbooks, for example?  ... What to do about returning goods to these 3rd party students' resellers, for example (Walmart example? I recently returned a fleece pullover, had by accident thrown out the envelope which I had received the product in from Walmart via online ordering, and when I went into a local store, I had to get an envelope, and then the returns' desk was able to print the label to return the product to a 3rd party seller / reseller through Walmart Marketplace, and take the product back, and refund my money to a credit card, and send me a number of emails about this too. Could collaborating with Google help WUaS create this amazing inventory and returns system, and for working with possible students as resellers / sellers? To be seen).

Was asked this week by Stanford Mine Pi if my name was spelled correctly, and when I double-checked, it still had my legal name, and my nickname.

Thanks especially to Chair of the WUaS Board and CFO Larry Viehland for sending in $1500 to the WUaS Corporation, Larry, - and for getting 150 shares of the WUaS Corporation stock. (I also got 293 shares in paying this tax bill). Am seeking for WUaS on both wings to become more cash oriented, so your contribution, Larry, is especially helpful as a next key step! And I'm wondering if the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of the Silicon Valley long-term stock exchange might emerge soon-ish, and whether the WUaS Corporation could use the $1500 you sent in to list the WUaS Corp, with some part of which as a registration fee. Am seeking for the WUaS Corporation to potentially list - in addition to the WUaS Press in 7k languages with machine learning, and its bookstores/cafes, computer stories, robotics' stores, hospital technologies' distribution centers in ~200 countries and in their main languages  - something like Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily (https://minepi.com/sgkmac) as planned revenues (from countries and companies potentially buying Stanford Mine Pi as their central banks' single cryptocurrency, with other cryptocurrencies continuing to trade like NUMISMATICS, old coins, but for the 21st digital century) on the Silicon Valley long-term stock exchange, and in WUaS planning to code for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Pin # (and for 7.8 wiki teachers and learners for free universal people to people education too, and see, too, these other reasons - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html).



Universitians, please let the WUaS Corporation know if you would like to get any shares 'on the ground floor' by emailing the WUaS Corporation at Meeting@worlduniversityandschool.org

The shares are currently $10 / share, and WUaS Corporation would enter your purchase on the WUaS Shares' Ledger. 

All the best, 
Scott GK MacLeod
