PS

WUaS wiki Subjects, for open teaching and learning, planned in many languages too - 

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects (and in the academic subjects, please see the CC-4 MIT OCW courses that will eventually be for credit for free-to-students' online degrees, Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD and IB or similar ... and potentially in all ~200 countries and in their main languages. And have you seen this new CC-4 "Computer Science CS First with Google at WUaS" course - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home - by any chance? Would this or this Google platform be of any help or use to you - and please see the 2/19/22 WUaS Agenda and News in these regards too).

Hi Universitians, All, 

Here are the 3 'asks" regarding what WUaS asked of the Google Lead for Computer Science Education, Brendan Chan, the other day ... including following up on his suggestion of engaging a GMAIL team approach to developing World Univ & Sch translation in all ~200 countries' official and main languages:) 

"Hi Brendan,

Thanks so much for your reply again - and the further information. Three 'asks,' please, and in seeking to keep these simple:

A course in May for learning Python and via Lego Robotics' Spike Prime kits, in Cameroon, and in the USA (all 50 states), and potentially in all ~200 countries, and for a hypothetical Mwende Evande in Cameroon, and many other Cameroonian, as well as Gulf of Guinea countries' students?

Additionally, adapt ~3 introductory courses from CC-4 OCW.MIT.EDU to CS First withGoogle at World Univ & Sch, for engagement, also for a hypothetical Mwende Evande, and another 3 beginning in term 3 in September (re 4 month terms at WUaS - September-December, based on 15-16 week long MIT OCW courses)? And similarly, adapt ~3 introductory courses from CC-4 OCW.MIT.EDU to CS First withGoogle at the PhD level for September?

Begin to list the 2-3 Lego Robotics' Kits on "CSFirst withGoogle at World University and School" courses, available potentially in Cameroon Africa (if their departments of Education can reimburse for this). For your information, the WUaS Educational Services' Store is an authorized reseller of 3 Lego Robotics' kits in the USA, and online. Was glad to have seen 'kits' listed (regarding not printing paper for lessons at CSFirst withGoogle at WUaS recently). Thanks so so much!

(Will inquire with the CSFirst help links you shared about an automatically generated Certificate of Completion of CSFirst withGoogle at World Univ & Sch soon - for Mwende Evande, so I don't have to write this by hand on the computer, and the 'authority' of the teacher is removed from the student-teacher interaction, thanks to CSFirst withGoogle).

Thanks too for the suggestion about reaching out to Gmail, as I read you, and regarding potentially WUaS setting up language translation teams for developing courses - say 'CS First with Google at WUaS' in all 22 official languages in India - and for translation of many CC-4 licensed resources+ for WUaS courses and toward free-to-students' online CC-4 ocw.mit.edu-centric WUaS degrees, including this CSFirst withGoogle course, Scratch itself, and CC-4 MIT OCW (in its 4 languages), and CC-3 Yale OpenYaleCourses +. Suggestions please on whom to reach out to at Gmail in some of these regards?

Thanks, Scott

Must look more closely at the design! Innovative! Is that an open flame? Am waiting for a very quickly charging very light weight battery to come along, removable from a bicycle with a powerful little motor in the back hub (both super light weight for security ... remove the back wheel and the battery, like in yesteryear), that could heat a tent at night from the solar panel cloth of the back pack itself in the high Sierra ... but you shared a hot design prototype, and such bicycle motor elements' and design I can't share (but here are some beginnings - scottmacleod.com :)

Evidence was on the floor (thanks even, somehow, to Stanford Law Prof Hank G., and even former Stanford President and current Chairman of Alphabet, J.H. ... & their deep experience, in Academia and the Law)


Dear Tym, 


Greetings, and how are you? How are you doing? And are you traveling again soon? It was so great to see you over Xmas in DC.

Am wondering, from the not so 'safe house' too, on Arlington Blvd just north of Berkeley, about the possibility of moving back . . .  again if the state of California and federal government have successfully 'cleaned it up' - and in just a few weeks, giving notice by the end of February.

Just had a good walk with my friend Ed, a retired KP MD, on Saturday along Sobrantes' ridge east of here, and in talking about this, got the impression that the state of California (and federal government) may be cleaning up C.... , and capable of enforcing the law there. Glad friend C.H. MD suggested calling the Moraga police around August 2020, after illegal break INS and thefts too. Evidence was on the floor (thanks even, somehow, to Stanford Law Prof Hank G., and even former Stanford President and current Chairman of Alphabet, J.H. ... & their deep experience, in Academia and the Law), which a policeman, a Sheriff D. Lynch, came and checked out, after my second call to the Moraga police. ...  be part of this, . . .in a facility? What about other ... , as I continue to call for abolition of the illegal sex industry internationally and its latent networks of violence, as a Friend, Presiding Clerk, and President of MIT OCW-CENTRIC WORLD UNIV AND SCH AND THE WUaS Corporation. 

... Could C. and B. thinking-wise, both MDs, who also at one point suggested connecting with a friend in her twenties to have a family (like C.'s brother) also introduce me to a MD seeking and in her 20s? ... Thanks to Stanford alumna C.H. MD for encouraging me to call the police in the middle of the Coronavirus meme pandemic. 

My . . .  and I think the state of California and federal government will be able to get their 'acts' together, re the law, law enforcement, and protecting innocent people. So as I wait for further information from the state of California and the federal government about giving notice within the week or so, I worry about the same illegal sex industry internationally and its latent networks of violence here too - as I continue to call for abolition in the Minutes of Work World University and School especially, for example. See the last Agenda & News item of World Univ & Sch from Sat 2/19/22, just before hiking with Ed here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/02/otter-sea-enhydra-lutris.html.
 How best to proceed, I wonder? 

OTHERWISE, I may seek asylum in Europe even (giving notice within a week) if the state of California and federal government can't get their 'acts' together. 

It would be wonderful to have you come and visit me again . . .  as well as head up to Harbin together and even as a new Academic Medical Center with Warm Water Cure in Canyon emerges http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/01/punch-bowl-falls-oregon.html?m=0 (potentially as hippy commune too) and with a WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute too.

Fondly, Scott
