Seasons’ Greetings 2018!

Harbin Ethnography” book’s bookmark

Dear friends,
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
I hope this finds you well and enjoying this season. ‘Enter’
into this realistic virtual world here - http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg - where you can visit
the Harbin gate virtually, and "walk" down the road "4
miles" to Middletown, CA, to "amble" around the streets there,
if interested (accessible from: https://twitter.com/HarbinBook and http://bit.ly/HarbinBook)
... the beginnings of a realistic virtual Harbin for soaking :) Part of my
actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project, this realistic
virtual Harbin - and EARTH - will get better and better with time (am
thinking this will emerge in Google Streetview with TIME SLIDER and with
Sansar: re Bernhard Drax – Sansar & Google Streetview? Sansar is a social
platform exclusively designed for #VR, inspired by Second Life (SL) - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1075791231483965441). Treat
yourself to a virtual holiday here right now. :)
Blogging continues to be creative as well - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/creativity?m=0 - daily for
about 11 years now e.g.: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/12/castlerigg-stone-circle-cumbria-do-you.html.
I'm glad to write I've just published my third book ~

Wandering & the Poetry of Loving Bliss (2018)ISBN-13: 978-0-578-43518-3
http://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity
It’s published in the new Poetry Press at World University and
School ~
http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html ~ in a new Academic Press at WUaS, which has now published 3 books, and which also seeks to be in all 7K + languages (partly to create language markets to regenerate smallest languages) planned with machine translation.

Plans for the New Year:
Seeking to help people realize their dreams at World Univ. &
Sch. and with:
“What are your educational goals and dreams? Tell us in the
comments. With over 2,400 MIT courses represented on OCW, we can help take you
to that next level. Get started now-->http://ocw.mit.edu” - https://twitter.com/MITOCW/status/1075069530500665344 ... and
via free universal education potentially for all 7.5 billion people.
WUaS plans to accredit with the state of California's BPPE -
https://twitter.com/CaBPPE/status/1024666814989488134
- beginning in February, and is seeking ~500 online students for free-to-students' degrees in the autumn of 2019. WUaS also seeks to become financially operational this year. Am also continuing to seek a faculty position at Stanford University to teach, and to collaborate re World University and School, in its ~200 countries’ official / main languages and in all 7,097 living languages.

In addition to continuing to teach - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - I
continue to develop Friendly-informed World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org -
which is planning major Universities in all countries' main languages,
accrediting on CC-4 MIT OCW in 5 languages and CC Yale OYC, as well as wiki
schools in all 7,097 living languages, for open teaching and learning. Glad too
that World University and School has a new WIKI in WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki -https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States (each
to become a major university in countries’ official/main languages). Find or
add a WUaS Subject you’d love to teach or learn - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects. On this
wiki side, anyone can teach or create a new wiki subject page, or code
creatively in other ways, by editing a page. On the online free CC OCW degree
side (Bachelor, Ph.D., law, M.D. as well as I.B. high school - again planned
for all ~200 countries' main languages), WUaS would like to begin with hiring
graduate student instructors (which also works for accreditation – re GSIs
teaching "sections") from greatest universities to teach in group
video conferencing to the OCW MIT and Yale faculty in video, for interactivity,
and to keep teachers central to WUaS as we grow. WUaS is waiting on a pending
WUaS National Science Foundation grant application to begin this process. WUaS
would also like to become a major employer in all 8k languages. WUaS seeks to
become major universities as the “MIT / Stanford of the web” in all nation
states’ main and official languages, especially with regard to their STEM
ethoses. If you know of prospective undergraduate students who might be
interested in matriculating at World University in the autumn of 2019 for
free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric degrees, please let WUaS know at info@worlduniversityandschool.org.
While World University and School is very thrifty – it’s also an
amazing hybrid situation: A) World Univ. & Sch. - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch - is
non-profit as of 2010, and incorporated in 2017 as a forked parallel second legal
entity, B) the WUaS Press / Corp - https://twitter.com/WUaSPress - which is
a for-profit general stock company, where both are planned in each of all ~200
countries, and in all 7097 living languages with machine learning and machine
translation. Wow!
Am finding guidance from Stanford Emeritus President & Professor
John Hennessy’s new book "Leading Matters: Lessons from My Journey,"
which I really enjoyed reading, after hearing him twice recently in the SF Bay
Area, once with Marissa Mayer.
Glad too to have given a "Harbin & Avatar Bots:
Robotics & Tourism" talk at UC Berkeley " on Fri. 10/26/2018 -
https://youtu.be/dN80Hm_db2I … (see too - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/12/rainbows-in-culture-freud-and-lacan.html?m=0).
And I
continue music-making playing Scottish small pipes (having moved on from
playing the Great Highland Bagpipe after about 40 years, but playing with the
same fingering), as well as keyboard bass lines, and much for Scottish Country
Dancing, - enjoyably so.
I'd still like to begin a family and have children, and am
remaining open to this.
You might also enjoy these ‘Hippy-Anjali Yoga Notations’ in this
holiday time - http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html - that creatively
develop out of Yoga philosophy.
Seasons' Greetings, Happy Holidays, Merry Xmas, and Happy New
Year :)
All the best to you in the New Year and beyond,
Scott
