Hi M,
Thanks again for your email. Will you see, or have you seen, the Craigs this summer? There were some pictures of Craigs in the photos I emailed you this morning in Google Photo. Chris Craig on the phone when I was on Cuttyhunk had mentioned looking forward to seeing you.
I noticed too that Delia Owen, author of "Where the Crawdads Sing," received her Ph.D. from UC Davis. Am curious whether she might have made it to Harbin Hot Springs while a student, and also whether Harbin could even have made it into her book in any way? (https://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity) On with my next and 3rd book of poetry, also Harbin-informed, and mostly of poetry from 2010-2011 ... tentatively titled "To the Dance or the Pools - Virtually? How different it is to soak at Harbin, than to realize it in virtual reality" ... so very timely with regard to the information technology revolution.
Time to bagpipe a little, possibly record a little in "Tune Tutorials," and before getting off this ridge in what looks like it's going to be a hot day.

Just found another MIT article on longevity, from a different angle ... many centering around DNA methylation leading to age reversal at the DNA level in mice ...
"This scientist believes he has found the elixir of life and thinks we can extend human life span by another 30 to 50 years, at least. (link: http://bit.ly/2MaSbYR) bit.ly/2MaSbYR"

And here's the longevity blog post from June with many other resources -
Montane ecosystems: Longevity (immortality even) & where are we now with reversing aging?, MIT Media Lab Direcctor Joi Ito's "THE RESPONSIBILITY OF IMMORTALITY: WELCOME TO THE NEW TRANSHUMANISM," and "The Future of Xapiens - Xapiens at MIT was live" with Pattie Maes, Max Tegmark, David Sinclair, George Church, Ed Boyden, and Joe Paradiso * * * Dartington Hall is so very beautiful! Wonderful that you'll be teaching there together, Victor and Angela (and Satya)! * * * Hippy Anjali Yoga Notations - http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html ! you don't say! :) How best to explore both your Yoga and creativity in online group video Hangouts newly, I wonder?

Just began my 3rd book of poetry's text: added titles, and added probably the first 4 poems. I'm building out of my last book's template - "Winding Road Rainbow" - which is a helpful structure for "To the Dance or the Pools ~ Virtually." I like some fo the poems I've added a lot. Seeking a cover photo ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/common-yellowthroat-upcoming-book-to.html ... (https://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity)
91 F in Canyon, 79 F in Berkeley, and quite cool in the Free Speech Movement Cafe at UC Berkeley, with a cross breeze, and being in the basement of a library. Blog entry ahead, and drafting the News and Agenda for World University and School's Monthly Business Meeting.
A bit sleepy due to poor night's sleep ... seeking to get to bed earlier this evening. and back by 7:30 or so ...
How was your day, M? And when might you see the Craigs? And did you find your way to swimming on a hot day? What are you reading now?

Hi M,
A Reed gathering meets on Thursday in downtown SF ... hosted by physics' major named Dieter Dietlinger '01 (whom I've met) at Yerba Buena Center near SF Moma, which downtown and very central ... could meet someone here conceivably (but haven't yet over years). Nevertheless it's potentially a good network in these regards.
Have also emailed a friend named Bridget from Reed from the early 1980s who lives in Portland asking if I can stay with them over the Sat. Sept 14th Reed FAR weekend - and re WUaS ... since I would need a place to stay if I headed up there ... but haven't heard back yet. Am considering driving north, but it may not work out.
Just sent the draft WUaS News and Agenda out for Saturday - see below.
How was your day?

1 Two WUaS wings are amazing great online university opportunities. WUaS seeks to develop first the non-profit World University and School, and potentially in Google for Non-profits as platform, - and as we seek funding to license with state of CA's BPPE for Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees, and then concurrently accredit with WASC senior. This will involve building out of best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare's ~2500 courses in English, with these initial six majors in the course catalog - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VRHhXYsk-V9lvSh5onaU2hnEhwoapSN7HyBK1P09LIk/edit?usp=sharing (accessible from http://worlduniversityandschool.org/). WUaS is seeking our 2nd undergraduate matriculating class at licensing and accrediting WUaS as we begin to develop the World Univ & Sch platform further. Some of these will potentially be German Abitur Gymnasium (university bound high school) student graduates interested in studying online in English for this WUaS free-to-students' university degrees.
1a - 14 WUaS planned revenue streams - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html.
2 The "Monday World Univ & Sch News and Q & A sessions at 10 am PT" are now happening newly in StreamYard video conferencing which records to YouTube - https://youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch (since Google's Live Hangouts on Air closed on August 2, 2019). Here's one of the first of these - "World Univ & Sch News and Q & A in StreamYard - 8/12/19" ... https://youtu.be/vKaS9255URk.
Re Google Meet video conferencing software: Since World Univ & Sch is in Google Education, and while Google Meet video conferencing software also looks great, it doesn't record to Youtube for free Google Education users like WUaS.
WUaS also still hasn't seen whether something like the new Google Meet - and with 5G - will become the basis for real, real time music-making - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Musical_Jamming (e.g. in the https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Music_School) - and for real, real time tele-robotic surgery in World Univ & Sch's online teaching hospitals - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - in WUaS's planned medical schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School .
WUaS continues to be both Google architecture-centric in general, as well as Wikidata-centric in its ~300 languages, as we develop further.
3 Thank you to Peter Bothe for very great updates to both of WUaS's Logos as independent entities: to A) 501 c 3 World Univ & Sch, and B) the for profit general stock company the WUaS Corporation (both planned in ~200 countries and in 7,111 known living languages). And for creating some new designs as well. These new designs look fantastic!
4 World Univ & Sch is seeking an information technology team to help code WUaS newly in Google Sites+ and in Wikibase / Wikidata. Part of this process will likely involve beginning to code for the WUaS Corp / Press's online bookstore, computer store, robotics' store, hospital technologies' store + (see 14 planned revenue streams above).
5 The WUaS Press - https://twitter.com/WUaSPress (as distinct from https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch) - will publish its 4th book this autumn, and is planned with machine translation of all 7,111 known living languages for STEM, humanities and poetry.
All the best, Scott
