Nautilus: A beauty of the Psychiatry subject at WUaS, Medical School, WUaS Counseling, Language, Longevity

A beauty of the Psychiatry subject -

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychiatry - 
(was - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Psychiatry )

at the WUaS Medical School (with its first matriculating class in around 2024?) -

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School -

(was - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Medical_School )
as this develops,

is that it will privilege talk therapy over pharmaceuticals,

simply because prescriptions in the online WUaS Medical School will be more complicated / less easy,

than in a place-based Medical School ...


Ideas invited for WUaS's Counseling, wiki page -

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Counseling -
(was http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Counseling)

(which right now has only a Re-evaluation Counseling - RC - link) ...

as well as for the upcoming Academic Advising page ...

(I'm very glad we're inheritors of a medical practice of psychiatry, and attempting to bring reason to questions of mental illness and to healthy minds / bodyminds, although there's much possible development in the field ahead. I'm also glad how people will have more and more access to online, interactive, face-to-face counseling in video like Skype, thanks to the internet).

Language is potentially remarkable -

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Language
see, too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages (planned in 7,117 living languages) ...
(was http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Language )

for people helping people ... :)

What's Kenneth Grahame say in "Wind in the Willows"? ...

"`Believe me, my young friend, there is NOTHING--absolute nothing--half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Simply messing,' he went on dreamily: `messing--about--in--boats; messing----' "

... and going on beach picnics

... time to get out on the water again, soon :)

Elephants: A Quaker Friend asks abt 'Going Solar," Have you seen this Solar Parity Grid interactive map?, Cars that run off water?, New Swahili page

A Quaker Friend, in Baltimore, MD, I think, asks:

"Anybody have experience "going solar" with your home or small business?

My {Quaker} organization is looking into doing it!" ...

I'd like to add an overview of such a process with pragmatic details -

as a kind of teaching and learning resource -

to WUaS's Solar Engineering -

Solar thermal for water heating systems (which is 'there,' efficient, pays for itself quickly in California, and which was added to my house about a year ago), or Solar PV, RG? (For an estimate, @MK is very knowledgable, experienced with the Solar business, and great).

CV:

Sarah had a college assignment to write a two-part fugue and COULD NOT DO IT. Nor could most of the students. Which makes Bach all the more amazing.


SM:

Reading the opening to Hofstadter's "Goedel, Escher Bach" might be one way I start to explore this, - sounds interesting - for piping, especially ... :)

Old growth forest and creek: Encyclopedia Britannica looks like it will no longer print on paper, A Full Evening of Poker and Lock-Picking with Nesson

Hermissenda crassicornis: WUaS as an expression of Gandhi's sensible observations? Clear visioned about the joys of eliciting bliss when sick

I hope World University and School -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University -


can be an expression of Gandhi's sensible observations here ...

Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct or for being years ahead of your time. If you're right and you know it, speak your mind. Speak your mind, even if you are a minority of one. The truth is still the truth.

... curious to stay clear visioned about the joys of eliciting bliss, - see WUaS -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Loving_Bliss_%28eliciting_this_neurophysiology%29-

like a cello bow stroke, whenever, and eliciting Loving Bliss Neurophysiology,

Red pandas: World University & School draws pragmatic inspiration from the Peace Corps' great success, All Languages and Nation States

World University & School draws pragmatic inspiration from the Peace Corps' great success,

and their service orientation which began in the early '60s ...

for making open, free, wiki teaching and learning resources available in all 3000-8000 languages (with MIT OCW) ... see

Languages:

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages and

Nation States:

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nation_States -

for the languages & countries you might enjoy helping with.

*

I have a fair number of friends for whom Peace Corp was one of the best experiences of their lives,

and WUaS would like to generate similar helping opportunities.

Here's what a friend says about PC ...

"Peace Corps changed my life in so many ways, all positive. From language to marriage to exposure to a new rich culture, I grew as a person and a member of a community. Thank you to the American taxpayer for paying for and supporting this program and thank you to all former and current volunteers for their work. Happy Peace Corps Day!" .. and here's a Peace Corps video -

Saddle-Billed Stork: Sal Khan and Anthropology? Ethnography? How can we all be Sal Khans?, Ethnomusicology and Primatology at WUaS?

Sal Khan and Anthropology? Ethnography? ...

Sal is generating so much great teaching to the web in so many great subjects -

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7401696n -

and how can we all be Sal Khans,

illuminating specific courses at MIT OCW, for example,

as he did explaining math to his niece? ...

You can here at WUaS ...

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects ...

with an invitation to teach ...

to teach to the web,

and to sit 'next' to the people you're teaching,

digitally

(as Sal Khan observes in this CBS 60 Minutes' piece,

where he also talks about 'flipping the classroom').

Thanks Bill Gates Foundation and Google for funding Khan Academy;

(and Google's Eric Schmidt's comments at 12 minutes in this CBS News' piece are also apropos).

... and they're measuring the effects :)

You'll find Sal Khan's website (http://www.khanacademy.org/) here:

WUaS plans,

to study how students learn,

longitudinally,

with the benefit of students from such studies in mind.

*

In a similar vein, MIT Open Course Ware doesn't have courses

in Ethnomusicology

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Ethnomusicology

or Primatology (Sarah Blaffer Hrdy suggests 376 species of higher primates)

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Primatology

and you could teach these subjects,

and which WUaS may eventually develop departments for.

The Subjects' page is open and wiki,

which will allow for the development of numerous further subjects,

and teaching and learning resources.

Hi FB,

Nice to talk yesterday.

Here are two, new, Kurdish, wiki pages at World University & School,

for free, open teaching and learning resources,

and where people can teach to each other, in real time, even.

More pages can be added, possibly paralleling WUaS in English,

and let's talk about starting these two pages, and more, in Kurdish, as well.

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Kurdish

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Kurdistan

Please Invite friends to teach, learn and add and let's talk further about how to make it more engaging.

Wikis are editable in the moment, and this is possibly a good way to focus a dissertation, perhaps.

These pages are accessible on WUaS's Languages and Nation States' pages.

Regards,
Scott

"The benefits of bilingualism" ...

http://mobile.nytimes.com/article?a=927111.


WUaS plans to offer free instruction,

and similar language get-togethers in ALL 3000-8000 languages

(in G+ Hangouts for video chat, or ... ) ...

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages -

and also as a virtual base for each language as school (for African languages, et al.)

... lots of benefits from all this bilingualism in terms of sociocultural understanding

as well as for the brain/bodymind, biologically.



... will look to add to this NYT's article

to the related WUaS 'Language' subject

(distinct from WUaS 'Languages') -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Language -

which is about the salutary benefits of language ...

Highland cattle: If you stop eating meat, or eat considerably less meat, you will live a longer, healthier life, 2 big, Harvard studies

If you stop eating meat, or eat considerably less meat, you will live a longer, healthier life with less risk of cancer and heart disease. Two Harvard Medical School studies followed 120,000 people for a few decades, checking in every 4 years on individuals' diets.

MacLeod Pacific Region:

Do have to be careful about protein intake, but it can be done. My daughter is doing it, does make it a bit of a challenge in the mixed eating household!


SM

Thanks ... I was a vegetarian from ages 16-26, eating few eggs (Laurel's Kitchen Vegetarian cookbook with nutrition tables came out around 1976), too, and am basically a vegetarian now (for about 8 years) but eating eggs daily (great protein) ... with a history of heart disease on my father's side of the family, too, ... getting blood work done for risk factors whatever one's diet makes eminent sense ... good on your daughter :) It's so easy these days to be a vegetarian and get good nutrition, especially in California ... we have so much more knowledge than even 40 years ago ... yea for such Harvard longitudinal studies. :)


Heart disease is still the biggest cause of death, I think, in the whole developed world, compared with all other diseases ... yummy fats, is a key hypothesis :)


I take a multi-vitamin for B12s and iron, as well ... I'm also a vegetarian partly due to the principle of nonharming


(MacLeod Pacific Region, I also like Henderson's Vegetarian Restaurant in Edinburgh at 94 Hanover Street, off of Prince's Street, as well as all those little natural foods stores there ... http://www.hendersonsofedinburgh.co.uk/ ... Have you or M eaten there? :)
