how's Harbin now?

hi Scott,

I am guessing that you have been to Harbin since it has been rebuilt and reopened.  How do you find it now?  If I were to stay overnight what would you recommend?  the domes?

Thanks for your thoughts,

Galen

Hi Galen,

Nice to hear from you. Are you still in Berkeley? I had two invitations from Deirdre Davis at Harbin a few years ago, before Sunheart died in the autumn of 2020 (and am not sure about foul play here), but I didn't head there. I inquired again with Sajjad and Deirdre last year, I think, if it was safe to head there, and in seeking a kind of invitation, but I didn't hear back. I don't know how the rebuilding is going but can imagine very slowly. So I don't know. 

Am seeking to begin field work for my 2nd actual virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic book project - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html (and these are the 5 UC BERKELEY Anthropology talks I've shared about this) and to begin to teach a Work World University and School course there on ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy ... But am in wait and see mode until, for example, I get an invite from Sajjad (Mahmoud) Wynne or lawyer and former co-head of HR David 'Edick' or Ishvara (Bob Hartley) even. Could founder Ishvara become my next main informant  (and 'Avatar' even) for next Harbin Ethnography - after Sunheart for my first Harbin Ethnography?

And could Harbin also come under the oversight of Kaiser Permanente Richmond health organization (for psychiatric and other medical reasons)? I've been whistle blowing some about Harbin, Reed College, and UC Berkeley and Berkeley Law (Stanford too) and partly about the illegal sex industry internationally and its latent networks of violence and would like for me, and students especially, to be safe in heading freely up to Harbin in the future! 

Best wishes, and abolition-ally yours, Scott

Hi Scott,

How are you doing and how’s life?  Just back from a long trip to the Gulf and London. Peace in Yemen remains elusive but we keep at it.  

Does one actually need an invitation to visit Harbin, or do you just prefer to go there with one?

Hi Tym! 

Welcome back. Good thinking. There's a lot of history here, but after getting permission from Julie Adams ('MD', & kind of #2 in pecking order for 'decisions' after Ish, and who has been pecked a lot!) TO WRITE AND PUBLISH my 1st big Harbin book, and after a great interview with the founder, Ishvara, ~ and after Sunheart's passing too (in autumn 2020) ~ some folks at Harbin (maybe the first two) didn't want my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book published, after all, ... so was glad that Deidre Davis, MD ("managing director' possibly sardonically construed) invited me up twice not too long ago. Getting an invite would be wise for me to do. 

Fond regards, 

Scott

PS

Wondering if Work World University and School could develop a virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic field site on East Bay MUD forested lands near 670A Ridgecrest Canyon for warm water cure too with Kaiser Permanente health organization & and Stanford Medicine idea here -

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/01/punch-bowl-falls-oregon.html

 (and an Academic Medical center on the whole ridge where 670 is - to begin to visit Harbin virtually). 

Significantly more than before -

Dear Universitians, Prasanth, Mwende, All, 

Very glad to have heard from 'The CS First Team' at Google that "We’re here to support you in 2022" in an email, which email I've included here, with the video from yesterday (and, for your information an 8 minute MPEG video file from Zoom is small enough to upload to blogspot, I found) -

and much more, including about free cryptocurrency.

Mwende, and Reshma, Narjeet, Marisol and all: as some of you have read, WUaS is seeking to offer, possibly, an automatically generated 

A "CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION" for the 'CS First withGoogle at WUaS' course, which certificates of completion I've seen in Google Education Groups for India workshops.  

WUaS is seeking to also grow 'CS First with Google at WUaS' in many languages, and check out today's blog post in these regards (after posting it later).

If you could get as much #FREEdataStorage as you want (unlimited - eg 8 hours per day of video) & could contribute in creating a #RealisticVirtualEarth for STEM &Everything & this involved getting an info@ WORLDUNIVERSITYANDSCHOOL.org email address with your gmail, would you sign up?

Mwende, would you like WUaS to see if we can set up an automatic certificate of completion for the CS First withGoogle at WUaS course - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/course/z33wpz - you're taking by the end of April (the WUaS spring 4 month term) - and also if you're planning to head into a Bachelor's degree program (4 years) at WUaS? How is the course going for you these days? I haven't heard from you in awhile. Hoping it's going well. 

All the best, Scott

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1488038118699659265

- and is making headway. So glad too that Mwende is interested in studying for a free online OCW.MIT.EDU-centric Bachelor's degree (4 years) potentially receiving this degree in 2026, AND a PhD, potentially receiving this internship through to 2034 or so.

Sri Lanka WUaS	Sun, Jan 30, 3:12 AM (2 days ago)
to me, Marisol, Reshma, Narjeet, mazumdarp, Pin

*

Hi Sri, Marisol (Stanford teacher of Quechua - Peru +), Reshma & Narjeet (Heads of GEG India ), Brendan, Pat and Pin (high school friends who are senior in the US government now, and with Bengali background too - West Bengal - India), 

Greetings from the SF Bay Area. Thanks for your great email, Rifiai (Sri Lanka WUaS), and for including all of us (and for WUaS languages' team building too esp.), and regarding - 

Sri Lanka WUaS in the Sinhala Language - 

https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/srilanka

USA - WUaS in English - 

https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/

AND also 'CS First withGoogle at WUaS' course - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/course/z33wpz 

Re translating the Scratch programming language course too into languages, and Scratch itself as well (https://scratch.mit.edu/users/helianth/), and the people in this email, I'm including Brendon Chan, who is the project manager at Google - (and whom I know from Scratch programming get togethers at the Exploratorium museum around 2017 in SF, for example, and with Harvard GSE Prof Karen Brennan, whom, I think, is facilitating rolling out Scratch academically), - for the CC-4 licensed 'CS First WithGoogle at World Univ and Sch'

- how to keep these translation projects simple? And how to build out teams for this too? And could you, Reshma (in southern California) and Narjeet (in New Dehli), possibly please help find translators for all 22 official languages of India, but possibly help with India WUaS on Google Sites in Hindi - https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/india (and translating from https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/ ) - first? I've made a little, simple test-edit to USA - WUaS in English: 

~ NEW ~

CC-4 "CS First with Google at World Univ & Sch" ~

https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home ~ for free,

learning the Scratch block programming language,

and with a Certification of Completion available by emailing WUaS at

Meeting@WorldUniversityAndSchool.org.

- and wonder if you could possibly please translate this, Rifai, into the Sinhala language at Sri Lanka WUaS? 

Reshma and Narjeet - I have a recollection that you've developed certificates of completion in GEG India groups that are automatically generated. In the name of simplicity, I'm waiting to update further this new edit -  https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/ - until perhaps we could add a further new link to this new edit with a way for students to get a certificate of completion automatically upon completion of CS First withGoogle at WUaS. Brendan? ... And from all of this I hope free-to-students' CC-4 OCW.MIT.EDU 4 year Bachelor degrees at WUaS in a related vein will emerge potentially by adding ocw.mit.edu into the Google templates for courses (thanks to the CC-4 licensing which says attribute 2) anyone can ADAPT resources with this license).

3 new Tweets about Pi and Mainnet here yesterday in my daily blog - 

https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2022/01/video-of-m-13122-wuas-news-and-q.html - 

And Sri, and All, I've recently updated my home page significantly and regarding Stanford Mine Pi for 7.9 billion people too (near top) - scottmacleod.com - regarding our ongoing cryptocurrency conversation. 

Best regards, Scott
