Season's Greetings and Happy New Year to you. Glad for World University and School to be potentially accrediting on the eastern seaboard, and potentially licensing with state of Pennsylvania, post pandemic (writing from an 'asylum place' of Pennsylvania), - and am potentially moving back to CA in September 2023 to a 'newly safe' Canyon 94516.  Happy New Year!

Friendly regards, 
Scott

PS 
Thoughts about the following ? - 

For the (~10 year) long term, 
Index_Investing in STOCKS as #AssetClass with #Diversification offers best potential $ returns:
& Socially_Responsible Index investing is even BETTER:









What was S&P 500 return for 2022? "In 2022, the S&P #500Index was down about 20% for year"  https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/30/investing/dow-stock-market-2022/index.html But the 10 year avg. ann. return was 15.69% for Vanguard #SocialIndexFund VFTNX (Inst) https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VFTNX/performance/ Better than 11.82% avg return for stocks since ~1928

And I could only get into the Christmas Day Zoom video celebration at 5:05 pm ET ... on my smartphone from in front of Christine Michaels' home (caddy corner across from where my father died on Nov 25, 2007) due to some Zoom password back and forth logistics, after taking a walk just beforehand with my mother past the nearby unprogrammed Quaker Pittsburgh Friends' Meeting House, and to the corner just opposite the 1st UU Church of Pgh (where my father's memorial service was held).

Dear Ma (Janie MacLeod), Pitt Emeritus Professors' Peter Koehler (Physics), Mainak and Sati Mazumdar (Engineering, and Biostatistics in The School of Public Health), All, 


Happy New Year! With the University of Pittsburgh sending an email seeking to partner with World University and School on Monday, December 26, 2022, and my replying twice in email to all of you, and not hearing back further from Pitt after they then closed this ticket, I just texted my mother the following:


"Good morning, Ma! After all these ~15 years of developing OCW.MIT.EDU -centric wiki World University and School with no remuneration whatsoever, and the Univ of Pitt sending an email seeking to partner with WUaS, and my responding by including Pitt Emeriti Profs' Peter Koehler and Sati and Mainak Mazumdar, and Larry Viehland and Ed Smyth MD and you, and others, am wondering on this birthday whether monies could begin to come to World Univ & Sch in the New Year. Love, Abolitionally, in Asylum in PA from CA, and hoping federal and state legal processes, in these regards too, can start working together effectively to protect people too. See you soon for a birthday lunch at the museum :) Love, Scott" 


Sorry my father GKM MD received a first subdural hematoma brain injury in Belize yesterday on December 30, 2004, in the country of Belize, while traveling on Semester at Sea. In Calling for the abolition of the illegal sex and drug industries internationally (as contemporary forms of slavery in a sense) and their latent networks of violence - and could my father GKM MD have been the victim of such illegal networks of violence? - am seeking to begin to grow CC-4 licensed OCW.MIT.EDU -centric wiki World University and School in 200 countries for free MIT OCW-Centric WUaS online degrees, and in 7151 known living languages as wiki schools, for people to people free universal education, and  by WUaS coding for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata PIN #, and to protect people in the process with law, law enforcement, AI and machine learning. (Am seeking too to learn somehow from my father's 2 subdural hematomas - and re questions of social justice, and law and protecting people somehow). 

It's been a long 15 year 'haul' without remuneration, and am wondering if Work World Univ & Sch might somehow begin to grow with hiring and paying people, myself included, as WUaS seeks to build a workforce of some 2.3 million people by the year 2072 or similar.

Happy  New Year, Love, Abolition-ally, in Asylum in PA from CA, Friendly regards, Thank you, Scott

new book for 2023 in the Academic Press at World Univ & Sch 

This book asks:
What is information technology, broadly conceived? How did it develop? Who did it? What has been the process of diffusion into the economy and society? How and why did the Network Society take shape? In this course, we’ll analyze the interaction between society and contemporary information technologies, in a multicultural and comparative perspective. In doing so, we’ll examine what data and evidence are in the social sciences, how they are used, and how they are interpreted. We'll also explore how this informs the development of wiki MIT OCW-centric World University and School:

Glad to have just published my 2nd Scottish Small Pipes' album, this one of Ceol Mor or Piobaireachd and prettiest pieces of this ancient Scottish classical bagpiping music. This is the 7th publication in the Academic Press at World University and School of Music (regarding the 2 Scottish Small Pipes' albums). 

Regarding Piobaireachd as great music (a literal translation of the Scottish Gaelic) ... just recorded and saved the recording of the 8th Piobaireachd for my recently published 2nd Scottish Small PIpes' album with this project focused on "prettiest Piobaireachd" -
