Synchiropus splendidus: 3/20/21 WUaS Minutes for open Monthly Business Meeting

  

Dear World Universitians, and friends, 

Here are the 3/20/21 WUaS open Monthly Business Meeting Minutes for 1) World Univ & Sch's Monthly Business Meeting, & 2) the WUaS Corp. WUaS continues to plan for free-to-students' CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric online PhDs and Bachelor degrees for 9/1/21, in English, and then in all ~200 countries and in their major languages, as well as wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,139 living languages. Thank you too for your generous contributions to World Univ & Sch.


WUaS is now seeking $50,000 to PREPAY to edX for edX to integrate their edX dashboard into WUaS G-Suite for Education, for matriculating WUaS PhD and Bachelor degree students to add their names, add their transcripts, get their grades, and the like, and for e.g. legal stuff for students regarding observing their countries' laws, and the USA's as they register). Please contribute to tax-exempt World University and School if you can here - worlduniversityandschool.org - for example, or send tax exempt contributions to World University and School, PO Box 442, Canyon, CA 94516. Thank you!

In WUaS proceeding with partnering with edX, WUaS is still seeking an initial registration link to share with prospective PhD and Bachelor degree student to matriculate 9/1/21, and something like - https://courses.edx.org/register - and for WUaS students also to begin with preliminary courses as early as May 1, 2021.
 
At what stage does WUaS pay edX? 
Again, WUaS is now seeking $50,000 to PREPAY to edX for edX to integrate their edX dashboard into WUaS G-Suite for Education, for matriculating WUaS PhD and Bachelor degree students to add their names, add their transcripts, get their grades, and the like, and for e.g. legal stuff for students regarding observing their countries' laws, and the USA's as they register). Please contribute to tax-exempt World University and School if you can here - worlduniversityandschool.org - for example, or send tax exempt contributions to World University and School, PO Box 442, Canyon, CA 94516. Thank you!


1a
WUaS web page planning for registration of WUaS matriculating students, building on - https://courses.edx.org/register : 

Please enter the name you use on your country's passport. 

In planning the WUaS registration process further, WUaS plans to let the student pick and choose their courses (and regarding their major’s course requirements, as well as related distribution requirements).

So on one of the first sign-in pages:

e.g.
Choose one:
Interested in 4-year free Bachelor’s degree
Interested in a free PhD degree

Next web page: 
Assuming you have no transfer credits, this is what we suggest -

While WUaS is focusing on the 2 degrees, Bachelor and PhD, WUaS is further exploring the idea of offering a Masters along the way to the PhD, - and as a kind of exit strategy, if the online PhD isn’t working out for the student or WUaS.

How best to focus on Noteworthy Innovations in 2020 for our 4 prospective PhD students, and their careers, at WUaS, and regarding especially the new WUaS WIKIBASE in Opencura WBstack platform innovations – and for all 7.8 billion people ?



WUaS is glad too to have received on March 26, 2021 an "ISSIP Awards Receipt Notification WUaS March 24 2021," which I'm attaching to this email. 


And, see, too - 

Noteworthy innovations at WUaS 2020 in an ISSIP Awards' application - 




New Innovations at World University and School: 

In 2020, WUaS innovations included 



beginning to: partner with edX; 

coding for anyone, with each getting a Wikidata Q-item (or similar) number; 

a new WUaS Opencura WBstack Wikibase platform; 

creating 1 Realistic Virtual Earth (think Google Street View with time slider) for use as field sites/classrooms, and everything, including a realistic virtual earth for genetics for aging reversal drug therapies; 

WUaS is planning tele-robotic surgery, and in a realistic virtual earth for surgery at cellular and atomic levels too; 

#WUaSHomeRobotics developing courses for each of 3 physical WUaS Lego Robotics' kits for #ActualVirtual #PhysicalVirtual robotics with the #Scratch3 programming languages with #GoogleTranslate & its100 languages in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego & #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics & re https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/; 

using a crypto-currency; 

and, experimenting with Universal Basic Income to alleviate poverty, and connected with free universal Wiki education; 

reimbursement from ~200 nation states' counties for CC-4 MIT OCW-centric degrees; 

Sri Lanka WUaS in Google Sites for smartphone in the Sinhala Language https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/srilanka and WUaS in English in Google Sites https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/; 

credit for individual classes along the way to Bach and PhD degrees; 

print with machine translation to new language from a single book's page URL in the WUaS bookstore; 

WUaS’s 3 legal entities – a 

1) federal 501 c 3, and 

2) a non-profit in CA, and 

3) for profit general stock company in California 

- are developing; the WUaS Corporation first filed its tax returns for 2017, 2018, 2019 in CA.




3
WUaS continues to inquire with edX in what ways could WUaS facilitate on the edX platform, for this autumn, a flourishing required year-long (so, 2 four-month terms out of 3 - of the equivalent of 2 15-week long CC-4 MIT OCW courses) Reed College-informed online Humanities 101 course (regarding the Greeks, - "Greece and the Rise of the Polis examining the diverse aesthetic, intellectual, and political forms, from epic to history to drama to philosophy to the polis itself, that evolved in Greek city-states from the eighth to the fourth centuries B.C.E." - and learning writing, critical thinking, dialogue, and so much more) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Humanities - for 1st year Bachelor degree students especially. This would be also to teach the conference method at WUaS via edX courses at first - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning (think conversation or dialogue, in part) - but newly in digital context and with developing information technologies. 


4
WUaS continues to explore with edX offering online courses in edX as preparation for matriculating Bachelor and PhD students on September 1, 2021, beginning in May 2021?

These might include:
- English as a Second Language beginning May 1 2021, and, 
- Robotics with programming with Scratch programming language

... but WUAS would need potentially the $50,000 dollars to pay edX to get this started. 



5
World Univ & Sch attended "Getting Started with Google Workspace webinar" on March 23, (and has been able to communicate with other Google entities since then about WUaS building out our professional web pages in Google Sites, in many languages, our Google My Business URLs, our WUaS Actual-Virtual bookstores, computer stores, robotics' stores, for students, our hospital technologies' distribution centers for our 200 online medical schools and teaching hospitals in all ~200 countries, and for speakers of all 7139 living languages - in addition to building out an academic press at WUaS with machine translation in GDocs in all 7139 known living languages. All of this would dovetail with our edX-WUaS partnering and related coding for 7.8 billion people on the planet even - brainstorming-wise).





6
Genetics in a single realistic virtual earth beginning with Light Sheet Microscopy - even with a #FilmTo3D Application at the cell and atom levels - and even eventually for bioengineering hybrid organisms like the axolotl-bird hybrid below? 



Here's a CalTech talk focusing on this, with one potential biologist and engineer, Jan Huisken, who might be able to focus facilitating this - 
Jan Huisken, PhD - ADC Hindsight Mar2021

#RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics

#FilmTo3D


eg
How best would a #FilmTo3D App>1 #RealisticVirtualEarth work for #RealisticVirtualEarthForSpecies #RealisticVirtualEarthForEvolutionaryBiology #RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM (post virtual objects' library #GooglePoly) & even for studying #VirtualSoaking in #RealisticVirtualHarbin?




7
Realistic Virtual Earth for classrooms and STEM field sites? 

Focus on BOTH longevity of lifespan AND aging reversal concurrently - at the cellular & molecular levels at first - in addition to the Street View with time slider levels? - 

Focus on lifespan #Longevity with #AgingReversal? ~ #Drosophila ~ https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/03/wild-drosophila-melanogaster-fruit-fly.html #WUaSLongevity #WUaSagingReversal in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForCRISPR (think #GoogleStreetView with #TimeSlider with #AI at cell & molecular levels with #DigitalSpecies
@WorldUnivAndSch)

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1377070127976312838?s=20



Regarding digital twins, and the digital twin earth idea too - or a realistic virtual earth for everything - build also on hologram developments such as - 

People? Re #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital you & I with #AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords in 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth? #FilmTo3D into #GooglePoly for #WUaSAvatarBots #ArtificialHumans #SamsungNeons #RealisticVirtualEarthForAvatarBots for 1< >1 #RealisticVirtualEarthForDancing? ~

https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand/status/1333073533916868617?s=20


And also especially regarding a #RealisticVirtualHarbin for research too -
https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualHarbin?src=hashtag_click - with also Actual-Virtual Lego Robotics. 


See, too:

In 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth (think #GoogleStreetView w #TimeSlider #TensorFlowAI at MOLECULAR (& cellular) levels ~ http://molecular.tv ~ & we're all the producers, writers, camera crews with our own #FilmTo3D Apps for #WUaSclassrooms & even via #EthnoWikiVirtualWorldGraphy ~

If you like home science (gardening, weather, photo, computers, stars, psychotropics, nutrition, ancestry, birding...) &/or you're one of 2 billion global video-gamers, then check this out:  http://molecular.tv
https://twitter.com/geochurch/status/1375524694078668800?s=20

... and to grow masses of viewers and digital gamers to this. 

(Did you ever get into watching the "static" or "snow" on a black and white TV decades ago?




8 
Plan for on WUaS's wiki side ~  

WUaS wikis and homeschooling idea, - in all ~200 countries and in their main languages even (and learning from the coronavirus pandemic), as well as vetting homeschool platforms for quality, safety - and for excellent guidance for parents to become co-teachers even in the home)? 


See - 

Headwaters Forest Reserve ...
Great to hear about what you're learning about 'homeschooling,' and perhaps with parents becoming teachers themselves (and re guidance for this esp.) - and please add any great links (that you've thus vetted for quality, or are otherwise accredited somehow for quality too) here, for ex. to wiki/Courses#Kids'_free_learning_materials ~ These wiki pages will grow, and anyone can create new ones (in any language eventually), and will become interoperable with WUaS's "back end" in Wikidata (eg MIT OCW in Wikidata - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityPage/Q1637597 or edX in Wikidata - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2106448). Will be interesting as WUaS's wikis grow how to best link all the best open free resources out there (re Charter schools, homeschooling online, etc.) ~




9 
People are signing up at Wiki World University and School, as individuals - and in different languages. 

Begin to hire interns with different languages to help develop this on the wiki side?

(In what ways could they sign in to WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - using even 'Stanford Mine Pi"-like credentials - such as passport information in the USA, and similar in other countries?)

Plan for this too, as WUaS develops, in WUaS G-Suite for Education, and in anticipating potentially coding for 7.8 billion people on the planet - in conjunction with You at World University wiki 
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University
(in all 200 countries and in all 7,139 known living languages, - as wiki teachers and learners especially, and conceptually).

Larry Viehland asks: Who are the potential instructors already teaching about digital currencies, and getting paid for this?, - such that WUaS might further develop a focus on this in developing their careers (and regarding WUaS planning to code for 7.8 billion people, and potentially a single cryptocurrency, backed by most of ~200 countries' central banks). I mentioned the MIT DCI courses, as one example - https://dci.mit.edu/courses - and - https://dci.mit.edu. 



10
WUaS received a "File990.org Payment Receipt" receipt of payment in filing, digitally, the IRS's 2020 990N federal tax card for World Univ & Sch's 501 c 3, but nothing since. See, too - http://www.guidestar.org/organizations/27-3105368/world-university-school.aspx - and WUaS will follow up on this further after WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on April 17, 2021.







Minutes for Monthly Meeting at the WUaS Corporation 


WUaS Corporation / Academic Press at WUaS - planned in ~200 countries and in 7,117 known living languages with machine translation


A
A realistic virtual earth for species - and combined with WUaS Gaming such as Pokemon Go with its AUGMENTED REALITY focus, and which is also organized around Google Street View with time slider / Maps? How could WUaS develop this commercially in the digital gaming space - as well as for WUaS students learning programming, machine learning, and augmented reality?  


See: 
A #RealisticVirtualEarth for everything w #AugmentedReality - #WUaSAugmentedReality that #WUaSstudents could create (with #MachineLearning in background) - The Verge: Google is making some big upgrades to directions in Google Maps.
https://theverge.com/2021/3/30/22357528/google-maps-directions-indoor-ar-live-view-fuel-efficient-weather-air-quality-layer & re #ActualVirtual devs

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1376881304709394438?s=20


See, too, for example: 

It's official! This summer I will start a @MSCActions IF with @GonzalezLab_BCN in Barcelona @IBE_Barcelona

I'll be looking at interactions between chromatin and #TransposableElements in stress adaptation
using #DrosophilaFly spp. as models

Excited for the next adventure!

B
Philippine cryptocurrency collaborations?

WUaS will seek via our WUaS law schools in 200 countries to plan further for countries and their languages, as various international agencies begin to chart paths for regulating cryptocurrencies (eg to protect innocents and potential victims, for example) - 

and regarding "In what ways could #SRK in the Tagalog language in the Philippines collaborate even with Stanford Mine Pi - and regarding a possible world currency backed by their central banks in most of 200 countries?" (from the WUaS Agenda and News for 3/20/21 MBM). 




C
Are you getting your free cryptocurrency, which is mineable daily? You can begin to get free money daily with the Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency now. Use this code -  sgkmac - minepi.com/sgkmac
- and, on your smartphone, and which could become the basis for single crypto-currency in all ~200 countries.

See, especially - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/02/blackcurrant-ribes-nigrum-quaker-george.html





Thank you!
