Crested macaque: Mission/goals of WUaS, A) Mission of World Univ & Sch B) Goals of WUaS Co, WUaS Corp as educational services company re World Univ & Sch, So much creative and generative potential here with the WUaS Corporation, Lead Director?, How soon can we go public?, Fascinating Harvard Law online talk this morning: "The “Monkey Selfie” Case: Can Non-Humans Hold Copyrights?"

There's so much creative and generative potential here with the WUaS Corporation, Di.

Here's the developing WUaS Corporation Business Plan in GDoc - https://docs.google.com/document/d/12GqcLW_PrcCCQpwNKDF8AqNwtWxYMNUG1h-TfnpbPXw/edit?usp=sharing.

How soon can we go public? - is one main guiding question (and if in each of all ~200 countries' languages, which first?).

Get an online bookstore (with academic press) up and running soon, in one country, and develop an all ~200 countries' plan.

You, as lead director?

Please feel free to invite possible Board members (we're aiming for 7 with portfolio diversity, skills' diversity, continent diversity and revenue-generating diversity - and ethnic diversity), and Officers e.g. CEO, CFO, CTO, COO, Head Admin?

Developing process between the World University and School monthly business meeting, and the WUaS Corp monthly board meeting - both hour-long only if we can do this. Both L and I would like to step back from the WUaS Corporation, as you may know, but we also have the history and trajectory in mind thus far - and I'd love to be able to talk over some months with an effective CEO and CTO etc with their growing teams ...

My talk proposal "World University and School: Online Medical Schools and Teaching Hospitals in ~200 countries’ official languages" has been accepted for Stanford Medicine X around April 28th ... but WUaS doesn't really have the monies whatsoever to register for this conference, so it looks like I won't be able to do this at this point. Since I would give this talk in the Stanford Medical School, and re WUaS online medical schools with teaching hospitals with clinical care - all relating to WUaS Corps' hospital/STEM technologies in all ~200 countries (https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2017/06/wuas-corporations-10-planned-for-profit.html) - this could be a WUaS Corporation talk too. Part of a marketing plan?

"Knowledge Panel" re Google for the WUaS Corp ... when searched upon (search on B's Eye Institute where the K.P. is the box to the right) ... and open into the Google business world here - including planning potentially for a cryptocurrency with block chain ledger, since WUaS has an all ~200 countries' official languages' plan, and all 7,099 living languages' plan (and possibly for listing on all ~200 stock markets in their countries) - and re hospital insurance too? WUaS is planning online law schools for this, and hopes that both Stanford Medicine OCW and Law OCW in each of all ~200 countries' languages will emerge on the nonprofit CC-4 (MIT) OpenCourseWare World University and School wing.

See you soon. Thank you.

All the best, Scott

*

Thanks, Di,

Will do. With you as potential lead director, please think of items to add to the agenda (which will emerge from my email below yesterday).

Since this is basically the 2nd WUaS Corp Board meeting (the first one having occurred in August 2017), and WUaS Co plans to allot shares to Board members for participation (see recent World Univ & Sch minutes) at A) Board meetings, and B) meetings between Board and Officers, I'll plan to invite K and L (as acting WUaS Co CFO) to this meeting on Wednesday electronically, but not J at this time (since he's an officer), and let the Board arrange when next to meet with J or a new CEO. J is still the titular CEO of WUaS Co, but could move to become the European WUaS Co CEO, the Romanian WUaS Co CEO, or the head of translation of the Academic Press, for example.

And C) WUaS would like to begin hiring Stanford graduate students and post-docs soon - grow our team. For example, I met at a far-reaching Stanford talk this morning, Jiemen Jiang, who could help code the realistic virtual universe for physics' questions. (Jiemen was Rami Younis' first Ph.D. student at the University of Tulsa - https://events.stanford.edu/events/746/74629/ - and Rami has 3 degrees from  Stanford, and both are physics' quants and coders, I think).

Let's add these three items to the agenda as well - much to do in an hour.

Best, Scott
(acting President / Presiding Clerk of the WUaS Co)

Hi Di, 

Thanks for your helpful agenda. Outlining some initial responses to your agenda in advance below.  Please remember that there are two legal entities here: A) the for profit general stock company, the WUaS Corp and B) the nonprofit 501 (c) (3) World University and School. The WUaS Corp is an educational services company for World Univ & Sch. 

1. Review mission/goals of WUaS: how are we different from other similar organizations

WUaS Corporation plans to generate 11.5% annual returns (and also plans to parallel the long term average of the S&P 500) in perpetuity, around these 10 planned for profit revenue streams - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2017/06/wuas-corporations-10-planned-for-profit.html (out of 14 total for World University and School) - in each of all ~200 countries and in all 7,099 living languages, each an academic market. While the WUaS Corporation is a separate legal entity with a separate Board and Officers, these are all educational services in support of wiki CC MIT OCW-centric and CC Yale OYC-centric World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org - which has a several trillion dollars’ endowment goal. (WUaS Corporation Business Plan in GDoc - https://docs.google.com/document/d/12GqcLW_PrcCCQpwNKDF8AqNwtWxYMNUG1h-TfnpbPXw/edit?usp=sharing)

World University and School's mission:

"World University and School's mission is free education, courses, and degrees in all known languages. World University and School (http://worlduniversityandschool.org - like Wikipedia with best CC OpenCourseWare) seeks also to facilitate all levels of teaching and learning through open, editable wikis. WUaS plans to accredit at the university and high school levels to offer online degrees and diplomas in all countries' main languages. WUaS’s wiki will involve open and editable teaching and learning but also non-editable courses prepared under a Creative Commons’ license. WUaS will facilitate the use of free CC courses as credits toward degrees. Due to the rapid spread of broadband worldwide, WUaS plans to make this accessible to underserved parts of the world and to poor people everywhere. WUaS will explore the possibility of using universal translators to extend the project automatically to any language with time." (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Foundation)

World University and School is also like Wikipedia in 299 languages with CC-4 MIT OCW in 5 languages, and seeks to develop in all ~200 countries' official languages as major online degree-granting universities - for online Bachelor, Ph.D., law, M.D. and I.B. high school degrees - and in all 7,099 living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning. 

While there aren't any other organizations I know of like this, the WUaS Corp seeks to create academic markets in all 7,099 living languages. 

2. Current board/faculty members and their duties

Current board members for the WUaS Corp include you and K W. Current faculty on the World Univ & Sch side include myself and L V. Current Board of Trustee members on the non profit side include - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Foundation - and are inactive. 

3. current funding

I'm attaching both wings' recent financial report. 

4. what we need to grow in the short term

WUaS Corporation seeks to begin to generate revenue, and may explore doing this with an online bookstore / academic press. 

Perhaps "Knowledge Panels" in Google for both wings, with I.T. infrastructure emerging from this. 

5. how to recruit

Pay for performance, listing jobs on our new wiki, nation state by nation state - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - with Wikipedia / Wikimedia Foundation as a model.  

See you tomorrow, and thank you so much for your WUaS Co board engagement. 

All the best, Scott

(Acting president of the WUaS Corporation)

Google Boat View

Wednesday, 26th February 2014 by Ian Brown

A few years ago it was a common joke to suggest that Google would follow the success of Street View by attaching cameras to boats to capture imagery of rivers, canals and oceans. Well, of course that is now a reality so we will take a brief look at a number of watery locations around the world, including the most famous of all – Venice.

Hi Sandy and M,

Just received 10 copies of my new book "Haiku~ish: and Other Loving Hippy Harbin Poetry" in the mail this morning.

They look nice - are slim volumes of poetry! Green blue covers, not spiral bound with white cover like the 1st printing of 11, - I'll put one in the mail to you, Sandy, as a belated Xmas present.

I like this wee book a lot. :)

Greetings from Monterey (for a second Friday in a row), where I just heard marine biologist Kelly Benoit-Bird speak - http://events.stanford.edu/events/742/74237/ and https://twitter.com/HopkinsMarine/status/955503031897923585 (which I reposted here - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch?lang=en) - who's also a MacArthur Genius grant recipient, and having gone to Brown University, has actually visited Cuttyhunk Island, MA.

Mentioned my MIT Media Lab faculty application to Prof. Benoit-Bird, which I haven't heard back about yet, and Joi Ito's interest in Scuba and oceans, - and asked Kelly in the Q&A about my ongoing interest in developing a realistic virtual earth (and at the cellular and atomic levels) re her field sites, and even facial recognition of the beaked whales she studies, - and I think this was a good 2.25 hour drive each way networking trip. She's a technologist and an ecologist. As a prof at Oregon State, she has a freedom and a blank check to be an ocean researcher per her CV - http://people.oregonstate.edu/~benoitbk/cv.pdf. Seeking this. Also mentioned to her afterward how the idea for a realistic virtual earth emerges out of the making of a realistic virtual Harbin for actual virtual comparison. 

Back to UC Berkeley for a Tourism Studies' talk at 5. May give my 4th Harbin talk there in late February.

L,
Scott

(Also sent Joi the very 1st "Haiku~ish" book in the second printing).

Sunflower: Yoga is a relationship with one's neurophysiology, "Excellent review in Nature of 3d human brain cultures (human neural organoids) ...."

Yoga is a relationship with one's neurophysiology, one's inner body chemistry ... asana (poses) can harmonize ... with one's consciousness (as awareness) if you like ... (and re humans as primates and as having culture/discourse/language - which is different from the cultures/discourses of the great apes, such as orangutans, chimps and gorillas, for example - with which we share the most genes in common - and how this influences human neurophysiology). Yoga can bring health and well being re our experience of our own neurophysiology.

I like Angela and Victor's concept of "inner body" in these regards ... which they explore fulsomely in their teachings and yoga courses ... and this is partly about un-learning (and they are hippies and artists too).

*
By neurophysiology, I mean ... see the

"Neurophysiology" wiki subject (at wiki World University and School) -

as distinct from STEM "Neurobiology" (say, at MIT) -

See, too, re neurophysiology ...

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Loving_Bliss_(eliciting_this_neurophysiology) -

which also can be learned, I suggest, and is different from "Yoga is a relationship with one's neurophysiology."

Hi Susana and Tim,

In terms of art creating kinds of wonder-zones in our bodyminds, is there a way, I wonder, that machine translation could somehow even improve on Basho's Japanese haiku - which generate wonderful wonder in me - into English, differently from Scots' Gaelic from Shona, etc?

And in what ways does the poetry wonder zone differ from the music wonder zone (and I think Tim and I share some common understandings of this neurophysiology from past somehow wondrous experiences together).

Some theorizing of, or thinking about, wonder and poetry and music here ...

And could one even eventually begin to study this brain chemistry, say with brain wave headsets in the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool, to begin ... and then listening to music there, and reading haiku there?

Visit the Harbin gate here ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ in Google Street View and "walk" down the road 4 miles to Middletown, and amble around on the streets there (but it isn't possible to enter virtual Harbin fully yet). :) {Here's the Dead playing a pretty good version of "Grateful Dead - Going Down The Road Feeling Bad - 10/31/80 - Radio City Music Hall (OFFICIAL)" ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSRs2DRkYgM} Harbin Gate is accessible here too https://twitter.com/HarbinBook.

Just some musings.

Cheers,
Scott

Asclepias: Stanford Medicine X conference acceptance of my talk proposal "World University and School: Online Medical Schools and Teaching Hospitals in ~200 countries’ official languages"

Dear Professors Larry Chu, Diana Do, and Bob Harrington,

(Dr Chu - I couldn't find your email address online, so I'm sending this to medicinex@stanford.edu which was on your web site - https://profiles.stanford.edu/lawrence-chu).

Thank you very much for this acceptance of my talk proposal "World University and School: Online Medical Schools and Teaching Hospitals in ~200 countries’ official languages" at the Stanford Medicine X conference in late April - https://medicinex.stanford.edu/x-2018/.

I'm afraid, however, that World University and School / the WUaS Corporation can't afford this, and didn't realize this would be part of making a proposal, or having it accepted.

I have talked with Stanford chair of Medicine Bob Harrington about World University and School's planned online Medical Schools and Teaching Hospitals, with online clinical care (including defining this via something like Project Echo - re the Stanford Grand Rounds' talk by Sanjiv Arora MD), in Bob's office in the autumn for a half hour. And Professor Diana Do is on the Board of Directors of the newly emergent for-profit parallel WUaS Corporation focusing on these 10 planned revenue streams - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2017/06/wuas-corporations-10-planned-for-profit.html - in all ~200 countries' official languages (and indeed in all 7,099 living languages as academic markets) but we haven't moved forward with next steps concerning this so far. I have also inquired with Diana if we could hold WUaS Corporation business meetings out of Stanford Medicine, and we are waiting to see how this unfolds.

There are remarkable medical entrepreneurial opportunities, however, with both wings A) World University and School and the B) WUaS Corporation.

And WUaS seeks also to develop extensive approaches to clinical research with clinical trials, both mediated online (with packets through the mail), and in a realistic virtual earth at the cellular and atomic levels, and re another Stanford Medicine talk by Jessica Mega MD from Google's Verily. Think Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / Brain at the cellular and atomic levels in all 7,099 living languages and for STEM engineering combined, conceptually, with Minecraft for Lego and Legomics (Lego-like gene building blocks) for the basis of virtual < > actual correspondence, engineering, and group building.

World University and School seeks to become the Harvard / MIT / Stanford of the internet offering these online degrees - Medicine (defining this), Law, as well as Bachelor, Ph.D. and I.B. high school, the latter accrediting on CC-4 MIT OCW - https://ocw.mit.edu - in its 7 languages (https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ and https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/portuguese/ and https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/persian/) - in all ~200 countries official languages. I've also been in touch with Stanford Drs. Abraham Verghese, Charles Prober and Jonathan Chen about some of this.

Thank you again very much for this acceptance, but I'm sorry that World University and School / the WUaS Corporation can't afford the registration fees for this. I am planning to be, however, at Stanford Grand Rounds tomorrow morning if the opportunity might arise to talk further about some of this.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Scott

Dear Dean Minor,

Thank you for your fascinating and remarkable talk this morning at Stanford Medicine Grand Rounds - http://medicinecalendars.stanford.edu/event/medicine-grand-rounds-superior-canal-dehiscence/. I was particularly appreciative of its teaching focus; I learned a lot. Thank you.

In what ways might we talk further about Stanford and World University and School collaborating to create a realistic virtual earth with avatar bots at the street view, cellular and atomic levels and for both research as well as surgery, for example, - and especially to model your observation about "ensembles of neurons," potentially to generate new therapeutic, clinical and surgical approaches to Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence Syndrome - and eventually online? Think Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / Brain at the cellular and atomic levels in all 7,099 living languages with a translator for clinical medicine (building out of Google GNMT Translate?), and for STEM engineering combined, conceptually, with Minecraft for Lego and Legomics (Lego-like gene building blocks) for the basis of virtual < > actual correspondence, engineering, and group building.

I ask this in the context of having received acceptance of my Stanford Medicine X talk proposal "World University and School: Online Medical Schools and Teaching Hospitals in ~200 countries’ official languages" at its conference in late April.
I have talked with Stanford chair of Medicine Bob Harrington about World University and School's planned online Medical Schools and Teaching Hospitals, with online clinical care (including defining this via something like Project Echo - re the Stanford Grand Rounds' talk last May by Sanjiv Arora MD), in Bob's office in the autumn for a half hour. And Stanford Professor of Ophthalmology, Diana Do MD is on the Board of Directors of the newly emergent for-profit parallel WUaS Corporation focusing on these 10 planned revenue streams - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2017/06/wuas-corporations-10-planned-for-profit.html (of the 14 planned revenue streams on both wings - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html) - in all ~200 countries' official languages (and indeed in all 7,099 living languages as academic markets) but we haven't moved forward with next steps concerning this so far. I have also inquired with Diana if we could hold WUaS Corporation Board meetings out of Stanford Medicine, and we are waiting to see how this unfolds.

World University and School seeks to become the Harvard / MIT / Stanford of the internet offering these online degrees - Medicine (defining this), Law, as well as Bachelor, Ph.D. and I.B. high school, the latter accrediting on CC-4 MIT OCW - https://ocw.mit.edu - in its 7 languages (https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ and https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/portuguese/ and https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/persian/) - in all ~200 countries official languages. I've also been in touch with Stanford Drs. Larry Chu, Diana Do, Abraham Verghese, Charles Prober and Jonathan Chen about some of this.

On a personal note, do you happen to know Caleb Alexander MD at Johns Hopkins, or his brother John Alexander MD at Duke, as well as Chris Granger MD also at Duke? All are friends from western Pennsylvania, or Cuttyhunk Island, Massachusetts.

What's the best way to explore communicating about this further?

Thank you for your tour de force talk this morning at Stanford Grand Rounds.

All the best,
Scott

How are you all doing in the poetry "wonder-zone," Susan and Tim?

You'll find a pic of Watsu per Harbin here ~ http://scottmacleod.com/poetry.htm ~ and re a different kind of wonder-zone ... :)

Where do you head with poetry and wonderful wonder, Susan? I have some sense of where Tim heads with this (since I've shared some of this journey with him:).

HI Scott!

I've been meaning to write  you about Ba shao

A bit of a funny story.  My sister is a China scholar and was doing a Fulbright in southwestern China.  While she's fluent in Mandarin, I am not and was able to converse with one of her friends at a picnic in French.  We learned we both share a love of poetry and spent a lovely time at a picnic in far flung China speaking French about a Chinese poet!

I guess I try to live my life with poetry and wonder generally :) but I find some places that are good for me and to which I return regularly and they include Mexico, New Mexico, and Provence.  How about you?

Susan

Hi Susan,

Came across "Sunflower Splendor" poetry book ("largest and, on the whole, best anthology of translated Chinese poems to have appeared in a Western language") at Reed College (from where I know Tim), and will check into Ba shao's poetry here ...

The "poetry" of place (wonderland-wise too) ... has happened for me a bit through travel, and certainly at Harbin, but the poetry of place hasn't really reached me too fully per se (even given its vastness) compared to the "poetry" of placelessness of listening to music that moves me on the Web, for example. Funny virtual world we live in (where virtual for me means "as if" mediated by computing technologies, and is a focus of my first, big book an actual-virtual anthropology - "Naked Harbin Ethnography" - which also has a wee bit of poetry in it :) Talking about nowheres-ville neurophysiology transformation via music, in a sense ... and re the "poetry" of wonder

:)

I'll check into the Mandarin language haiku tradition as well.

Your travels with sister sound fun. Thanks for your email.

Scott

Sunflower splendor makes me think of course, of the South of France where there are glorious fields of them in the latter part of summer.  That is neat that you and Tim knew each other at Reed.  I am overdue to read your work and will let you know!

Hi Susan,

Sunflowers can be so splendid, as can the south of France.

Just found some haiku in Chinese -
http://www.graceguts.com/haiku-and-senryu/haiku-in-chinese ...

I'd be honored if you read my work.

Cheers,
Scott

Sounds good to me, Susana.

And thank you for this "Calling All Poets" introduction and communication-generation, Tim.

(Curious too how some poetry will get machine translated poetically eventually - and hopefully with via a MIT Media lab faculty position I've applied to, and waiting to hear back about. My "Haiku-ish" ~ http://www.scottmacleod.com/HaikuishPoetryBook.html ~ book may be where some of this is tested. How might this machine translation emerge even in a realistic virtual earth - thinking Google Street View / Maps / Earth / Brain with Google Translate and a realistic virtual Harbin here ... some further creative possibilities).

For me, wonder-zone, or the wonder zone, can be akin to loving bliss neurophysiology where these brain chemistries / this bodymind/brain chemistry is measurable and will become elicit-able in new ways with knowing how it works.

We can all wiki-teach, for example, about

~ "Loving Bliss (eliciting this neurophysiology)" here ~
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Loving_Bliss_(eliciting_this_neurophysiology)

~ or about Watsu (water shiatsu) here ~
