While WUaS's 2nd wing, the WUaS Corp, recently received and paid its first tax bill to the CA FTB for 2018, 2019 and 2020 - momentously, World University and School (2014 IRS ruling year as a 501 c 3 non-profit charity) continues to be having some trouble getting going financially, after about 14 or 15 years (since ~2007) ...
NEWS
... and so perhaps the recent engagement by the state of CA's Franchise Tax Board with WUaS regarding ii) WUaS Corporation (2017 incorporation in California as a for profit general stock company), will lead to beginning to grow financially. 




1
Please email the CC-4 ocw.mit.edu courses you'd LIKE to study in the first semester for your free-to-students' Bachelor or PhD degree, first in English, at WUaS, and your transcripts to Meeting@worlduniversityandschool.org to begin the application process at best STEAM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World University and School




2
World Univ & Sch seeks to develop in WUaS Google Workspace for Education, and potentially add CC-4 ocw.mit.edu courses (in its 4 languages) to these as templates (if possible) in 

https://grow.google/

information technology
https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-support

data analytics
https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-data-analytics

project management
https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-project-management

user experience design
https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design

and similar ... and first in English, and then in each of all ~200 countries' official languages, for free-to-students' Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD and IB high school degrees in each of these countries, and in collaboration even with their counties' departments of education. This would include identifying high achieving students as well as reimbursement to WUaS per student per year. 




3
7.9 billion personal Avatar Bots as teachers and learners for each of us (a Stanford Professor Richard Rorty interactively and conversationally, for example? )
& 
7.9 billion personal robots - as WUaS personal tutors too -  for socratic dialogue, and conference method?




4
Machine Learning project managers - brainstorming-wise, hire 10 million people at WUaS, about 4 times as many as W-m, mostly interns in 7139 known living languages? Probably more likely that WUaS aims to hire as many as 2.3 million people (about the size of Walmart), achieving this over a number of decades. 




5
WUaS is seeking a new Chairperson of the Board of Directors 
Please let meeting@worlduniversityandschool.org know if you have suggestions for, or thoughts about, this. With time, WUaS, and with more Universitians, will develop a more effective process for such WUaS developments - 




6
WUaS is seeking also a new management team
A Chief Operating Officer
A Chief Technology Officer
A Chief Marketing Officer
(Currently, Larry Viehland is Chief Financial Officer, and Scott MacLeod is Chief Executive Officer)


6i
Seeking too the next Chief Academic Officer


6ii
WUaS Monthly Business Meeting and calling for abolition in these regards




7 
A WUaS-NSF arrangement? 
Thanks to a recent series ISSIP educational workshops


ISSIP NSF Workshop, Nov 17, 2021: Industry Best Practices for Skills Screening

ISSIP NSF Workshop: Industry Lens on Undergraduate Best Practices, Dec 8, 2021

ISSIP NSF Workshop, Dec 15, 2021, Innovations in Credentialing & Industry-Academia Collaborations

WUaS is exploring the potential for possible NSF-WUaS developments ? 

In the process WUaS is seeking a new Chief Operating Officer and has inquired if Yassi Moghaddam, executive director of ISSIP, might fill this role, and possibly if Jim Spohrer, might fill the role of Chief Information Technology Officer

Please stay tuned. 


7i
Regarding micro-credentialing and Africa, and Mwende's question I asked in text chat at the last ISSIP workshop - 

& here's the question from Mwende in Cameroon, Africa - 
"Thank you Mr Scott.
What if I want to take the Bachelor's degree in WUaS?"

WUaS is curious how to begin a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with 36 do-able CC4 MIT OCW courses in Grow with Google possible templates - see item 2 - and that could be micro-credentialed even for almost every course ... and perhaps also help co-create the WUaS Corporation's Educational Services' Actual-Virtual bookstores/cafes / computer stores / robotics' stores +  in Africa (and inIndia too). Thank you!

If 1st generation #AgingReversal drugs will get us to 25 'years old' when 150 yo, what will 2nd gen #AgeReversal vaccines do, re avoiding #SideEffects & #UnanticipatedConsequences?

Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea): If 1st generation #AgingReversal drugs will get us to 25 'years old' when 150 yo, what will 2nd gen #AgeReversal vaccines do, re avoiding #SideEffects & #UnanticipatedConsequences? #WUaSAgingReversal #WUaSlongevity in #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics in 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth? * brass ring? what could this mean? * * Honestly pretty, Lovisa Herold - with some Greens' Swedish thoughts about flying (about shaming Swedes not to fly, interestingly) ... Published on my mother's birthday 2 years ago ... "Swedish identity in modernity, not yet 'internetity'" I would say

Reaching out to Harvard's Dean of Admissions, William Fitzsimmons, again per this May 2021 item 


(15)
WUaS reaching out to Harvard Dean of Admissions, William Fitzsimmons, for prospective WUaS PhD and 4 year Bachelor degree students, as the WUaS-edX partnering develops?

WUaS Law Schools online, Brazil World Univ & Sch Law School in Portuguese, WUaS Wikidata in 300 languages, and Ontologist Coders and Programmers, Stanford Law CodeX ([codex_group_meetings] TODAY! CodeX Mtg (12/16/21 @1p PT): NEMO UFO-L (via Zoom)) -


Thanks Roland, Giancarlo and Cristine, 

Thanks especially for this paper about Wikidata, Giancarlo, which makes me wonder how to benefit from Wikidata's 300 languages, including especially Portuguese, if Wikidata is otherwise difficult to work with - 

Here are the questions I asked - 
Giancarlo Guizzardi, All, Thanks for your excellent talks, - and can you please say a bit about the ontologies you work with - and in Portuguese by implication specifically, and for law, - and if possible, and generally, in comparison with Wikidata's ontology (which is Wikipedia's back end structured knowledge database in Wikipedia's 300 languages), and potentially for legal ontology; I realize you may not know Wikidata - if so please skip these questions, and perhaps we can follow up in email. Thanks so much! Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)

... and potentially regarding your 
'a legal core ontology grounded in the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO) and based on Hohfeld’s seminal theory of fundamental legal concepts and Alexy’s relational theory of constitutional rights:'

World Univ & Sch is planning to be in all ~200 countries and in their main languages - so Portuguese language WUaS at Brazil WUaS is an example … probably with Google Workspace for Education and Wikidata focuses … Are you active at all in either? Are you active in Wikidata esp (Wikipedia’s backend structured knowledge database - as ontology explicitly - in Wikipedia’s 300 languages)



https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Portuguese_language (planned in Portuguese, which CC-4 MIT OCW was in, but this is archived )

Let's stay in communication about this as your legal work in Portuguese continues! 

Thanks, Scott








WUaS Corporation / WUaS Press 

Agenda & News' Items - 


A
WUaS, as an authorized Lego Robotics' reseller in the USA, contacted Lego's Leanna Prater and Stanford Research Fellow Soren Jorgensen (former? Consul General of Denmark to Silicon Valley too), about WUaS become a distributor to physical stores of the 3 Lego Robotics' kits WUaS carries, a) Mindstorms, b) Spike Prime, and c) WeDo 2.0 (http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html), but has not heard back yet from either of them. This would include becoming a Lego Robotics' kits' distributor to Independent Booksellers, such as Orinda Books in Contra Costa county, CA, and potentially with a relationship with county departments of education, as well as to chain bookstores, such as Barnes and Noble. 

Further, in what ways could the WUaS Corp and Academic Press at WUaS as Lego Robotics' kits' distributors facilitate WUaS outreach in such on-the-ground bookstores, with for example even robot bookshelves with Lego Robotics' kits on one side, and WUaS Academic Press books on the other side (thinking too Penguin Books' in-store twirling carousels for example). 

WUaS's planned on-the-ground Educational Services' bookstores/cafes, computer stores, robotics' stores in the USA, - and actual-virtual bookstores in all ~200 countries, not just online in the USA (as the WUaS-Lego arrangement is now), - would also seek to carry these Lego Robotics' kits for our WUaS students, learners, and related researchers. 




B
7.9 billion personal robots with developing artificial intelligence, and manufactured and sold by WUaS in a number of years? 

Regarding WUaS both being an authorized carrier of 3 Lego Robotics' kits in the USA online (so far), and regarding the book by Nobel Laureate Kazuo Ishiguro "Klara and the Sun" about Artificial Friends (AFs), Personal Robots, and Robot People, in what ways could WUaS begin to plan to facilitate 20 models of robots a year after a number of years, and to all 7.9 billion people on the planet earth, as Personal Robot teachers and learners, and even also personal robot medical doctors +? (Currently a Google Search yielded that about 6.4 billion people on the planet have smartphones, and there are more than a billion personal cars too).




C
Single Cryptocurrency to end poverty, planning to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet too, each a Wikidata Pin #? Stanford Mine Pi (eg https://minepi.com/sgkmac) for this, where WUaS Corporation would explore how it might work if WUaS could list this on the Silicon Valley Long-Term Stock Market, and in planning to code for 7.9 billion people. And could then Nation States and Mutual Funds and Investors then invest in Stanford Mine Pi, and from all ~200 countries too? 

Get your free money here daily, by mining it for 5 seconds with algorithms as tools -

I am sending you 1π! Pi is a new digital currency developed by Stanford PhDs, with over 25 million members worldwide. To claim your Pi, follow this link https://minepi.com/sgkmac and use my username (sgkmac) as your invitation code.
