mutual intelligibility is one simple definition of language



In linguistics, mutual intelligibility is a relationship between languages or dialects in which speakers of different but related varieties can readily understand each other without prior familiarity or special effort.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_intelligibility


*
mutual intelligibility is one definition of language Ethnologue


The determination of what characteristics define a single language depends upon sociolinguistic evaluation by various scholars; as the preface to Ethnologue states, "Not all scholars share the same set of criteria for what constitutes a 'language' and what features define a 'dialect'."[5] The criteria used by Ethnologue are mutual intelligibility and the existence or absence of a common literature or ethnolinguistic identity


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnologue

The criteria used by Ethnologue are mutual intelligibility and the existence or absence of a common literature or ethnolinguistic identity.

MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch WUaS accreditation with Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) with offices in the greater Philadelphia area 


Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org>

3:24 PM (4 hours ago)

to Idna, Karen, Bruce, Emily, NTM, Connie, Bart, Trixie, president, Jenny, shauna.mcnally, shona.demus, Kacey, Stephen, Alden, Barbara, Henry, Dennis, Edward, Dr, Elliott, Shawn, Diana, Peter, Nick, Ann, Hugh, John, Lydia, Roland, Dick, Sid, edsmythmd, Marc, Hank, Joan, Scott, Scott, George, stuart, Robin, Sri, Caleb, Barbara, David, David, Heather, Rohit, John, Peter, Narjeet, John, Lillian, Alex, Abbas, Bruce, Gerd, Erica, Sarah, Janie, Pin, Scott, VOLCANO, Denny, Erinn, John, fracka, Terri, Iulian, Jennifer, Andrew, narjeet, Nidahas, Nonopa, Marisol, Ximei, Urs, Prasanna, Mok, Scott



Dear Connie Clifton (at MSCHE), Diana Bonner (at MSCHE), All, 

Greetings, and how are you? In the webinar by MSCHE;s Idna Corbett <icorbett@msche.org> and panel,

 "The Complexity of Leadership: Enhancing and Empowering Governing Boards and Presidents" and re - 


 I learned that I as the president of WUaS would NOT be the person to write the MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch accreditation documents with MSCHE, and in response to a question I asked (below).

Connie (Clifton, at MSCHE), and Idna (Corbett <icorbett@msche.org>), WUaS is looking forward to fulfilling the 7 initial MSCHE requirements you mention below in this thread, potentially in collaboration with Shady Side Academy high school, but who would you suggest writing the WUaS accreditation documents with MSCHE?  I've reached out to Trixie Sabundayo (Head of the Senior School at Shady Side Academy), and Bart Griffith (President Shady Side Academy), some time ago, about this, but haven't heard back, and possibly because, having learned from "The Complexity of Leadership: Enhancing and Empowering Governing Boards and Presidents" that I would not be the person who writes these WUaS MSCHE documents, it's not clear who would write the WUaS Accreditation documents with MSCHE. 

With WUaS accreditation further underway, CC-4 licensed https://ocw.mit.edu/-centric World Univ & Sch will seek from all 50 US states' departments of education, and indeed from some of (the rich) ~200 countries' departments of education, about $63,000 per year per student (and see below), re the CC-4 licensing (1 share, 2 adapt, but 3 non-commercially), and as WUaS develops further with Google For Education especially. 

Thanks, abolitionally, Scott

Notes from 
 "The Complexity of Leadership: Enhancing and Empowering Governing Boards and Presidents" 

Mike and Jon, As presidents are you the authors of the self-study report 

per
APPLYING, ASSESSING, AND DOCUMENTING BOARD GOVERNANCE
and 
self-study process and other accreditation activities
(https://www.msche.org/event/applying-assessing-and-documenting-board-governance-fee-based/) or do you delegate this?

Asked this question - 

Thanks for this MSCHE presentation. Regarding Enrollment challenges for Pennsylvanians aged 25-64, in what ways might MSCHE begin to plan for emerging Extreme Longevity and Aging Reversal genetic drug therapies, and people potentially living far longer than before ever (>122 years of age even?) and for growing potential student bodies from new dynamics in aging? Thanks, Scott GK MacLeod (CC4 licensed free-to-students’ MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School - would prefer to get my #FDAapproved #AgingReversal #ExtremeLongevity #GeneDrugs from the #PhysicalDigital #WUaSEducationalServicesStores (or #WMart) in future - for long #LifelongLearning @WorldUnivAndSch @WUaSPress #wuAsVR - re https://www.aftenposten.no/sprek/i/Knwp27/biokjemiker-hanne-s-finstad-tok-ti-grep-for-aa-reversere-og-stoppe-aldring-resultatet-ett-aar-senere-sjokkerte-henne -https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Aging_Reversal_Genetics ~

WUaS MSCHE accreditation 2024 + Twitter

MSCHE is an institutional accreditor for institutions offering college degree programs at the associate's level or higher. In order to submit a pre-application for accreditation, you must meet the 7 minimum standards of eligibility 




PPPS 

Connie, and all, with an email just now from CS First, following the MSCHE webinar on AI today, I also just shared the following with Google's CS First and regarding too WUaS offering their amazing, standards' focused CC-4 licensed "CS First with Google at World Univ & Sch" course - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home  - 

Help make CS First better

I shared, as president and professor at CC-4 licensed MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch the following - 

Dear "CS First with Google at WUaS" 

Seeking to make CC-4 licensed "CS First with Google at World Univ & Sch" helpful and inspiring with #WUaSLegoRobotics at many levels as WUaS accredits and licenses, and as MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch develops major online Universities and High Schools in all 200 countries - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - and for learning and teaching in their main languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - and for students studying from home.

You'll find here the experience of Mwende Evande in Cameroon Africa studying at  MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS and to matriculate into WUaS and  WITH CC-4 "CS First at Google at WUaS" at CC-4 licensed https://ocw.mit.edu/ -centric WUaS - World Univ and Sch

Glad CS First with Google has Educational standards coded into it 
- and potentially for accreditation and with state licensure - 

Just attended, while living in Pennsylvania currently and in WUaS seeking to return to California in 2024 a "Middle States Commission on Higher Education" presentation, with offices in the greater Philadelphia area, on Artificial Intelligence, and had created a Tweet about this - 

Thanks! Looking forward to 5/14 as @WorldUnivAndSch grows major online #WUaSUnivs in all ~200 countries & in languages - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 - #ConnieClifton #IdnaCorbett @ #MSCHE & w #WUaSaccreditation seek reimbursement from 50 US states' & all ~200 countries' Depts. of Ed.

 Departments of Education (re $63000 / yr from rich countries and per - https://sfs.mit.edu/undergraduate-students/the-cost-of-attendance/annual-student-budget/).





Unfortunately this presentation was a bit of a negative vortex; they don't seem to be getting the revolutionary potential for AI regarding and see Peter Norvig's article re MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch - 

"Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI" : #WUaSunivs at https://ocw.mit.edu/ -centric WUaS - World Univ and Sch from Peter Norvig and AI 

WUaS is so 



And so also CC-4 licensed MIT OCW-centric Wiki World Univ & Sch will circle around to look again at the state of CA's BPPE for licensing and WASC senior for accreditation

esp since BPPE is beginning to post on Twitter again after a hiatus -

AND with 

(and which WUaS was in talks about with WASC senior and BPPE in around the year 2013)

and as WUaS continues to wait for way to open in a Friendly Quaker sense especially for WUaS accreditation and licensure 

... and while seeking also to move forward the WUaS Academic Medical Center with WUaS Longevity Genetics Institute into a newly safe open 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 in 2024.

Connie, All - 

Looking forward to hearing further from you, Connie Clifton at MSCHE, and about the above. 

WUaS would like to begin the WUaS accreditation process with MSCHE with offices in the greater Philadelphia area, if WUaS can learn who would write the WUaS accreditation documents (and pay the fees too, for example).

Thank you!, Scott GK MacLeod

Friend and life partner !


Dear Ma, Ed, Pin, John,


Good morning! Aging reversal genetic drug therapies are fascinating, but aren't here yet ... and having a family calls ... but with whom, and how to connect with each other?

Friend and life partner? How to meet her? Newly out of Scottish Fettes College circles after 'drinks and canapes' event in DC on 4/10/24 somehow? Out of the Quaker Meeting in Edinburgh even, somehow, & in the SF Bay Area? With Protestant background (thanks George Alexander MD), a MD, some Scottish background too - even a modern abolitionist ? Or Unitarian Universalist background - 'very pretty' (Thanks, Pin, for saying this in Baltimore when I visited & stayed 2 nights with you some months ago ... And might your sister, Maitreyi / Marti a professor in Harvard Medical School know of a ~25 yo HMS MD heading to the Bay Area or already there and seeking a friend and life partner, and who could be a great wife potentially ? ) ... Meet her when I start traveling further for WUaS and even in Scotland somehow (with parallels to Milly Onslow, married, pretty, - with whom I connected a little at the Fettes College gathering in DC) & in Fettes or Quaker circles - or combined? 

Scott

Ma, Ed, Pin, John, 

Connectedness ... with a friend, partner, girlfriend ? Community too (& re being in asylum in western PA ... as things develop regarding growing a worldwide abolition movement re MIT OCW_centric wiki World Univ & Sch)?

Identity ... a Scottish life partner ... keep playing my Scottish bagpipes - and at Fettes College-like gatherings (re Milly - a Scot, living in Maine and married)? 

A musician, a hippy earth mother-minded MD (even from Rock and Roll music, many decades after the 1960s and '70s) ... 

Susan and Anke, past mutual loves, come to mind, but we were all in our twenties ... wait for aging reversal genetic drugs to emerge to fantastically age reverse us to our twenties even ?... after 2030 possible FDA approval of possible early aging reversal genetic drugs ... ?

With possible aging reversal and extreme longevity genetic drugs, how will questions of "Friend and life partner"  develop?

What do you think?

(Things have quieted down a bit, but may be just a lull, here at 5816 Callowhill St., 7 Pgh 15206 somehow 'psychodynamically' ... and possibly regarding the 8-10 arson events since ~11/9/23 ... and am not sure what's up ... )

Time to play my bagpipes ... 

How to use AI to find and connect with a life partner, or a new school setting (beyond MIT OCW_CENTRIC wiki World Univ & Sch) - since I met both Susan and Anke in school settings (Reed College, and Pendle Hill Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation)? Yoga circles (Angela and Victor Yoga inspired)?

Fondly, abolitionally, Yogically, Friendly care, Hugs, 
Scott



PS

Glad for this today at 1pm ET ... and am curious how MSCHE may have been in communication with Google AI and Peter Norvig even (since Peter is a Stanford Distinguished Educator Fellow) -

Ma, Ed, Pin, John,


Wow - beginning this thread on 6/8/22 (just before fleeing for my life from the SF Bay Area on August 1 2022 - and after talking with You John in May 2022 I think from 'safe house' in El Cerrito north of Berkeley, and you Ed in March or 2022 - 

"Hi Ma,

In traveling over the weekend, I caught a glimpse of a different way of thinking about finding a life partner, compared with in the Bay Area... It may be the 'pretty little woman' idea which I gleaned at the Gear Exchange place in Bishop CA, and in her mid 20s ... Possibly somewhat small town, and possibly 'innocent' in a small town way too ... and potentially somewhat old fashioned or traditional  (to use words George Alexander MD used quite consciously) relationship-wise ... and feminine and kind and radiant (I didn't see this in the Gear Exchange place however) ... and not 'damaged' ... but I'm not sure how I'll meet such a person or where ... Maybe someone who's outdoors' oriented, camping and backpacking and sailing or kayaking too (but there aren't similar small town Gear Exchange places attracting a similar group of people and 30 something young women, somewhat open possibly to a outdoor adventure, in the SF Bay Area that I know of ... (and I might be better off with a kind 20 something MD with whom I can talk ... and do outdoors things too) ... But I liked getting an impression, like in Bishop, of a place (this Gear Exchange) where I could possibly meet a woman, among quite a few, who could become a good friend ... and we could do outdoors things, a bit 'off radar' too (with echoes of Anke from the former east Germany and its cultural sincerity - ehrlichkeit - and somehow innocence, meeting her at Quaker Pendle Hill around the time the Berlin wall came down in 1989, and re the remarkable separate cultural developments that had occurred between east and west Germany over about 50 years, as an anthropologist now, ... and echoes too of Susan where we took outdoor trips to beautiful wild areas, and worked together in a cyclamen nursery for a season in Beaverton Oregon, my helping her get this job too and somehow 'off radar' too) ... I don't think going back to Bishop CA to see if someone in the Gear Exchange wants to go for a hike will work ... But stopping there gave me some new ideas - an opening thinking wise - for meeting someone, beyond your suggestions of concert and theater (with parallels to my Gear Exchange in Bishop experience) ... 

A house in a safe Canyon could help with this potential connecting process too ! If she grew up as a Quaker that could be good for questions of shared values... and a MD ... and possibly with Scottish background or somehow similar to Anke or Susan (with their western Europe background).

Love 💞 Scott 



Pictures of Pittsburgh PA in my parent's house (#319JuniataCourtPghPA15208 from 1974-2020), India on #SemesterAtSea, near #HarbinHotSprings with #SunheartSunheart (friend & informant of my #NakedHarbinEthnography book @HarbinBook) at #VernalPool & in the #CalAnthroLibrary stacks





I hike some around Pgh, albeit not much classical music or therefore these days post covid19 - and seeking to stay alive in Pgh re the wrongful buying and selling of people and in growing a wUaS abolition movement worldwide ...

What do you think further?


 Fondly, abolition society, warm regards,

Scott
