Further ideas for a realistic virtual earth, virtual hot springs (now how to begin to do brain research with these Japanese beginnings), and poetry (my most recent poem, beginning with some lines by Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney, and about both consciousness as well as Harbin Hot Springs:) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/05/geissorhiza-ovata-hot-spring-inns.html -Would like to explore brain research with brainwave headsets from home, and visual research too, with this first video - https://youtu.be/AFrTTMbQx1o - and ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy wise, and further with creating a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs for ethnographic and brain research in mind as well.  :)--

Thank you, Paul!

World Univ & Sch is growing, but still isn't financially operational. But this is also opening ways to further exploring collaborations with Google beyond Google for Education, and further new MIT exploratory collaborations, for example. If you know of Quaker or other 18 year olds who might be interested in a free-to-students' online Bachelor program, as WUaS licenses with the state of California's BPPE and probably WASC senior, please let me know.

Glad to see both the links you and Joann posted were Quaker (Barclay Press, and she with a George Fox University Master's Degree) - and seemingly Oregon based! Impressive turnout as well! Was glad too to see a number of friends - and some from even the 1980s - in Multnomah Monthly Meeting in Portland, OR, and at Pendle Hill, I think - as well as from AFSC SF! When were you head of fundraising at Pendle Hill? Thanks for both of your sometimes hippy-informed, or countercultural in a sense :) poetry, and creativity!

Do you know Anselm Hollo's 'Lost Original' poem -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/sarus-crane-rilke-damage-poet-anselm.html
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/pacific-temperate-rainforests.html
(And do you or Joann know what his 'Rilke damage' in this poem refers to?)

And have you or Joann read with, or worked with, Kim Stafford, who's Oregon's poet laureate, and a Professor at Lewis & Clark (as was his father):
Kim Stafford on Haiku in the Columbia River Gorge
"Oregon Poet Laureate Kim Stafford on Haiku"

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/orange-peel-doris-acanthodoris-lutea.html

Here's a recent poem I wrote, beginning with some lines by Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney, and about both consciousness as well as Harbin Hot Springs:

Chameleon vision: Poem ~ "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs, than to realize it in virtual reality"

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/chameleon-vision-poem-to-dance-or-pools.html :)

Am hoping you're doing well as the coronavirus pandemic proceeds, and California begins to open again.

Friendly cheers,
Scott

(Am hoping too our WUaS Press will eventually emerge out of the Google platform, and for machine translation too - in addition to online and on-the-ground bookstores / computer stores / robotics' stores and hospital technologies' stores - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/15-planned-wuas-revenue-streams-both.html) Cheers, Scott

Dear Alan, 

Thanks for your email. Yes, a professional WUaS website - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - update is long due (12 years?). 

I noticed this Boston University epidemiologist professor Ellie Murray uses Google Sites:

"Epidemiologists: there is going to be a pandemic if we don’t act now with test/trace/isolate + adequate protective equipment for essential personnel + social distancing as a last resort.

Economists: we did only the social distancing part & it didn’t work, you’re all liars!"

And WUaS's all languages' focus suggests that Google Sites would be the best platform - initially for the approximately ~100 languages in Google Translate, and also as official languages in ~200 nation states. 

Yes, this email was sent to MIT President Rafael Reif - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/dear-mit-president-rafael-reif-possible.html - and, as a consequence, was very glad to have a 30 minute Zoom video conference around May 1 with the head of the MIT Office for Digital Learning Sanjay Sarma, with a CMU Master's degree, but WUaS is still seeking a way forward with something like MIT OCW into MITx on the edX platform which we can BPPE license and WASC accredit upon. This didn't emerge in conversation with Sanjay; will it emerge on some sort of open Google Platform, due to the MIT OCW's Creative Commons' 4 licensing? Well, in this email to Google's Head of Open Source, Edd Wilder-James (with mention of updating website the 5th item) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/05/passion-flower-sword-billed-hummingbird.html - nothing has emerged yet. Alas! 

Further Google collaborations is what I'd wish for, for WUaS, since WUaS is already in Google for Education (this email address is in Google for Education / G Suite, for ex.) and in so many ways - see letter to Edd.

Would you like to join in on a Monday at 1pm ET, 10am PT, WUaS video conference about WUaS growing WUaS? 

I would invite you from here
and it would stream and be recorded to WUaS's new Youtube Livestream channel -
(and not here - https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch). It  would be great to talk about some of your great ideas that could further help our outreach.

Greetings to Sadie (and Chris Michaels), glad you and she are both doing well, and congratulations on all your developments with film-making and videography! 

All the Best, Scott

Ideas are growing in both blogs - see the 'global university' labels, and on this Twitter feeds as well:

Alan, 

Has Roberto worked with Google Sites (since WUaS is in Google for Education / G Suite), and in another language, like Spanish or Italian, for example - if you happen to know?

Regards, Scott

 Alan, 

Thanks, - am following up currently in some of these regards too with MIT President Rafael Reif, and potentially regarding Google Sites too. 

I'll send you an invitation from LightStream on Monday at 1pm your time, and let's talk about World Univ & Sch - your questions, for example. I'd be interested too in exploring, brainstorming-wise, questions about your thoughts about how a project manager might work out of Pittsburgh. It's wouldn't be like going to the Google office near Penn and Fifth, but hopefully much via Google software, as well as regarding online bookstore, computer store, robotics' store, hospital technologies' store, for students and learners, but eventually with on-the-ground stores ... and perhaps all also in a single realistic virtual earth for everything including architectural design, business development, - as well as for atmospheric science re reversing global warming. 

Sincerely, Scott

Am following up with these folks, and the Chair of the WUaS Board as well: 


MIT Media Lab @medialab 6m
“Our mentality is: Keep telling us what you need and we'll keep trying to figure out creative solutions.” @MindHandHeart talks to Kyle Filipe at @MIT_ISTnews about the Institute’s technical response to Covid-19.

More about Kyle Filipe here, as well as Mark Silis, Vice President for Information Systems and Technology, whom I learned about in the first article:
