pentland@mit.edu - Sunday, November 8, 2026, and Greetings from World University and School / WUaS, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages
Sandy (my brother's name too, all),
thanks for connecting on LinkedIn today, Sunday, November 8, 2026, and Greetings from free-to-students' World University and School / WUaS, building on CC-4 licensed MIT OCW in 7 languages, and in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program, and creating world class universities in all ~200 countries (per the Olympics), and in all 7159 living languages, and from there seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, and to facilitate free universal education, wiki too, and potentially to end poverty worldwide by distributing Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily to say the poorest billion.
Seeking to code for both WUaS platforms, the 1) 501 c 3 nonprofit World Univ & Sch wing, and the 2) Academic Press at WUaS / WUaS Corp / WUaS Educational Services' stores' wing, a for profit general stock company legal entity in the state of California ... and as the first wing accredits ... and for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata PIN # from here -

A moment of immense pride for India!
The inclusion of Rājataraṅgiṇī, Mahābhārata and Arthaśāstra in

These timeless works embody our rich traditions of historical inquiry, philosophical thought and statecraft, whose wisdom continues to inspire humanity.
Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble PM Shri

AND
The Great Eastern Trail runs from Alabama up to New York (and is designed to connect toward the Canadian border/Niagara region), while the
Eastern Continental Trail connects Florida and Alabama all the way up through New York and into Canada. [
1,
2]
Key Trails Matching This Description
- Great Eastern Trail (GET):
- Length: Roughly 1,600 miles (currently in development with many connected sections open).
- Route: Stretches from Alabama (tying into trails like the Pinhoti) up through the Appalachian/Eastern mountains all the way to New York (serving as a western-biased, quieter alternative to the Appalachian Trail). [1, 2]
- Eastern Continental Trail (ECT):
- Length: About 5,700 miles.
- Route: A mega-trail system that starts in Key West, Florida, passes through Alabama (via the Florida Trail / Pinhoti / A.T. connectors), runs up the eastern seaboard and through New York, and extends into Eastern Canada (Ontario/Quebec/etc.) near the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence/Niagara regions. [1]
- Pinhoti Trail + Appalachian Trail Connection:
- For a more continuous traditional footpath starting in Alabama, you can hike the Pinhoti Trail in Alabama and Georgia, which links up with the Benton MacKaye Trail and the Appalachian Trail (A.T.), taking you north toward New York and the Northeast, though the A.T. officially ends at Mount Katahdin in Maine rather than Niagara. [1, 2, 3]
If you're looking for specific information on these trails, let me know:
- Are you planning a thru-hike or looking at a specific section?
- Do you need details on maps, trailheads, or current conditions for a particular state?
