World Univ Contra Dance and Music wiki for Valentine's Day - 

 a curious contra dance question regarding wiki World Univ & Sch's Contra Dance and Music wiki school or wiki subject for open wiki-teaching and wiki-learning (not yet in other countries' main languages, if helpful) - Great #ContraDance:)  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Contra_Dance_and_Music  Almost as if in a contra-dance itself  


Greetings from Penn's Woods, western side!


Dear Lancaster Contra Dance, Roy, Meg, Dave, Outreach, Contra dancing friends, all, 

Nice to hear from you, and nice to have met and contra-danced with some of you last autumn. (Again, I blogged about Lancaster Contra here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2023/10/hibiscus-syriacus-kr-national-flower-of.html ).

Here's a curious contra dance question regarding wiki World Univ & Sch's Contra Dance and Music wiki school or wiki subject for open wiki-teaching and wiki-learning (not yet in other countries' main languages, if helpful) - Great #ContraDance:) https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Contra_Dance_and_Music
how would you wiki-teach to this Contra-Dance wiki school (eg by adding a great Youtube video about contra, or creating one, or adding a Contra-dance learning web resource that gets large numbers of visits, or adding a highest quality book or article you've written about contra-dance, and with this referencing approach: Last name, First name or initials, Year, [URL if available Title or book or video etc). Place published (city and state): Publisher or publisher URL (eg if video)? I have a particular interest in exploring eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology naturally via contra dancing and contra music, as one example of what one could teach or learn about, and out of the box, contra-wise:) This Contra-dance wiki school at World Univ & Sch is an iterating work in progress, created by all of us, and may emerge in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForDancing - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForDancing?src=hashtag_click

PS
Also, in about 30 minutes, MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch is holding another open WUaS News and Q&A in Zoom, with an invitation to join the call, as a coffee chat, for example, but also with your questions or answers about wiki World Univ & Sch, and see the following regarding WUaS's CC-4 licensed MIT OCW-centric free online accrediting in PA degrees' wing: 



Dear Trixie and Bart (Heads of School at high achieving academically excellent Shady Side Academy high school in Pgh, PA), Universitians, All, 

Happy Lunar New Year! 

The next World Univ and Sch WUaS News and Q&A meets in about 13 hours - 

Time: Feb 12, 2024 07:00 AM Pacific Time, 10:00 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada), 7:30 PM India Time 


Just shared this with you, and my mother - 

After meeting Trixie (Sabundayo - who joined Shady Side Academy as head of the Senior School in 2020 - https://www.shadysideacademy.org/schools/senior-school/senior-school-head) outside the Waterworks' Barnes and Noble on Friday evening driving a SSA van with a funny hat on (and I had one on too:) for one of two food runs for SSA students from the Croft dormitory, I think, this one of Chinese students, and who said something like come find her on campus, to ask questions about World Univ accreditation in particular ... it might be a great idea to try to find her with you (Ma, Janie MacLeod) at SSA this afternoon, on the way back from our walk, in the Croft dormitory (hunting Trixie down like this, or finding someone, may be the only way to get something done at Shady Side, I'm hypothesizing - and have a vague recollection of this at SSA from the second half of the 1970s) ... AND WUaS needs STUDENTS, particularly, for the MSCHE accreditation process, and SSA recent and upcoming graduates, and alumni from its wide networks too could be great ... Could World Univ & Sch in its next phase, with accreditation and PA licensure, begin to emerge out of Shady Side Academy senior school itself? Brainstorming, could the one Chinese student, actually from China or similar, with whom I spoke in the van a little, be becoming an assistant Chinese language teacher at SSA upon graduation this spring from SSA, then living on campus at SSA, - and could she matriculate concurrently at World Univ concurrently for a free Bachelor degree too (with the 'learning culture' of SSA informing this?) ... and help facilitate the WUaS accreditation process as a student, and help Trixie and all of us grow the first year of courses and culture at WUaS from - https://ocw.mit.edu/ - and Google-WUaS like "CS First With Google at World Univs" - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home ... an extraordinarily interesting creative project (to create the Harvard/ MIT /Stanford /Oxbridge of the internet in all ~200 countries and in their main languages) ... and could Trixie lead or head the WUaS accreditation process in all of this too ? She's a professional educator :)

Trixie, can my mother and I come try to find you around 5pm at Croft this afternoon, or would it be better possibly to schedule a time to meet ? Meeting this upcoming Saturday at 10 am ET in the coffee chat in Zoom could also work (and just before World Univ & Sch's hour-long Monthly Business Meeting - to which you're also both welcome - at noon) - https://us04web.zoom.us/j/75126832612?pwd=WfNNckjgPhndXR5PqBCBxGKxjTDgek.1 - and regarding setting up future possible approaches to meetings about this too. 

Very nice to see and talk with you and SSA students on Friday evening, Trixie. And looking forward to talking again.

Best regards, thank you, until soon I hope, 
Scott

PS
With World Univ & Sch accreditation with MSCHE (with concurrent licensing with the state of PA' department of Education), WUaS should begin to be able to seek reimbursement from, for example, Allegheny county's department of Education for students' matriculating at WUaS from around Pittsburgh from their homes, - and potentially on the order of $55,000 / year per student (ie about what it costs to go to MIT for a year) - and while students would get free WUaS Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, AA/AS and Master's degrees ... and Shady Side Academy could benefit very significantly from all of this, and potentially by administering it. 


Also, 

Lawdy, lawdy, Ma,

Thanks for the lovely Valentine's Day plant - pretty in the center of my main space on the brown carpet near my other pretty plants, some from you. Thanks too for the Valentine's Day cheese card - a good idea for this ovo lacto vegetarian and regarding the deliciousness of a huge variety of cheeses ...

Trixie wasn't in the Croft dormitory at SSA at 5 ... I got the impression today she doesn't live there 
.... Whereas after her invitation on Friday I then had wondered if she might live there possibly as a dorm parent (since she was driving a van on a Friday night) ... After I knocked on the Croft door, a Chinese American SSA student, I think, called down from the 3rd floor of Croft to ask if I needed to be let in ... But then 2 students said Trixie wasn't there ...  so I am not sure how to proceed with the questions I have about WUaS accreditation which she invited me to come ask her about ... I also had forgotten my funny hat at your place (good for east of Sierra mountains especially, and much of California, later this year) ... so maybe that's why we also didn't connect today :) 

The 1st Unitarian Universalist Church of Ogh's  stained glass windows in Shadyside were illuminated this evening as I drove by after dark - and after our walk and visit - while the Pittsburgh Friends Meetings' windows  reminded me that 'Black Lives Matter' - they were dark. (I sat in a little Friendly silence in the parking lot outside the dark building - and as I and World Univ & Sch continue to grow a worldwide abolition movement to protect people). The Apple Computer Store windows however on Walnut st in Shadyside were bright, and it newly has the Apple Pro Vision Digital Mask visible through them, and written on the window too. Will the 'flagship' World Univ Bookstore possibly 4 doors down in the old William Sonoma building make all MIT OCW's books available and visible through WUaS Google CardBoard and our smartphones and a new App in store ... and possibly Printable in the store even (Kinkos copies' wise ? ... seems unlikely however, but maybe ... ) 

And how could a whole Shady Side Academy network of alumni get this bookstore and all WUaS Educational Services bookstores, computer stores, robotics stores, department stores up and running I wonder? 

Thanks too for the yummy omelet +, Ma ... 

(Although you're an amazing walker these days, brainstorming, would you take "higher faster stronger Olympic" genetic drugs for mobility as a 115 year old (25 years from now) do you think ... and created from molecular compounds from human genomes .
or even from deer genomes from the hips and hind quarters, for example, for unusual jumping abilities:)?  

Love, 
Scott

Dear Lancaster Contra Dance, Roy, Meg, Dave, Outreach, Contra dancing friends, all,

Greetings! Further -

I updated this -
just a wee bit adding the 'loving bliss - (eliciting this neurophysiology)' wiki school at World Univ & Sch for example - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Loving_Bliss_(eliciting_this_neurophysiology) . (I've also removed anyone who has requested this from my Contra dance reply to Lancaster's Contra Dance's Outreach email - and please let me know further if you'd like to unsubscribe, Contra Dance email etiquette-wise). 

It would be GREAT to talk further with some of you in person and also to inquire if the  
Lancaster Contra Dance Outreach committee in particular might be interested in focusing on growing this Contra Dance and Music Wiki school informally, even, and for the fun of it - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Contra_Dance_and_Music - as an exploration (free, open, advertising free, and with a focus on excellence and creativity too) 

Also, I'm exploring driving 3.75 hours each way this Saturday from The 3 Rivers in Penn's Woods west of Lancaster and wonder if it might be possible please to find hospitality, to stay with someone (and I have sleeping bags and camping pads in my vehicle (which is a bit too small to sleep in). I'd depart Pittsburgh a little after the open MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch which is open and hour long (and see PS below) which meets at noon ET, and would sek to meet a possible host at the Contra Dance. Might it be possible please, Roy, Meg, Dave, Outreach, DancingContras, All, to find hospitality for the night please so I don't have to drive 3 /34 hours through the night after the dance? 

Looking forward to the dance.

Cheers, abolitionally, happy dancing!, 
Scott

Stanford CARE's talk on "Lung Cancer in Asian Americans" with Dr Jeffrey Velotta MD of Kaiser Permanente Northern California ~


Register Here

Asian American men often have a significant smoking history and may be unaware of lung cancer screening guidelines. Additionally, they exhibit poor adherence to and initiation of lung cancer screening tests. Furthermore, there is an increasing incidence of lung cancer among non-smoking Asian American females. Dr. Jeffrey Velotta, MD, FACS, will discuss potential outcomes of lung cancer as they relate to the Asian American population.

Jeffrey Velotta, MD, FACS is a thoracic surgeon at Kaiser Permanente Northern California and an adjunct clinical assistant professor in the Department of Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine.  Dr. Velotta received his MD from the George Washington University School of Medicine.  He then went on to finish general surgery residency at UCLA along with a postdoctoral research fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery at Stanford University and completed his cardiothoracic surgery fellowship at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School.  Dr. Velotta’s clinical and research interests focus on outcomes after regionalization for thoracic surgery and lung cancer outcomes in Asian Americans.

Dear Jeff, Ed, both of KP, Natalie of Stanford, All, 

Thank you much for your reply. 

Ed was a KP MD for nearly 20 years, as you may know, and still may be affiliated since his wife, Val McFarlane MD (https://mydoctor.kaiserpermanente.org/ncal/providers/valeriemcfarlane) still works for KP, in Oakland too.

A further question related to your talk, but regarding your KP web page on the great benefits of regionalization of lung cancer surgery -

Jeffrey Velotta, MD, presents findings on effects of regionalizing lung cancer surgery

Hi Scott

There are targeted therapies and immunotherapy

But NO genetic drugs

We know of biomarker mutations in cancer tissue that are well known and we order NGS testing via CARIS

And yes there are targetable drugs we use

But currently there is NO “genetic” therapy for this cancer

 

Thank you!



Hi Jeffrey, All, 

Thanks again for your reply, - and excellent! But what do you think of the following possible gene p53 with regard to your email? 

As an AI Google searcher, not a MD, and completely unknowledgeable about lung cancer and therapies, the following came up (from 2016 or 2017) - and in World Univ & Sch seeking to develop a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics (#ForTranscriptomics) in 1 emerging #RealisticVirtualEarth, & think #GStreetView with #TimeSlider with #GCellView #GMoleculeView #GGeneView #GProteinView #GAtomView with #TensorFlowAI and in #GMaps #GEarth (for regionalization especially, and with all ~200 countries per Olympics 'regions' too):
 
"What is the new gene therapy for lung cancer?

With this retroviral vector, intratumoral p53 gene therapy showed suppression of tumor growth in an orthotropic human NSCLC model with absent or mutant p53. This was the first study demonstrating that the restoration of a single tumor-suppressor gene could induce tumor regression in vivo"





Am asking, however, with MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch also having a focus on emerging extreme longevity and aging reversal genetic drugs (first ones potentially FDA approved by 2030), and see the beginning Aging Reversal Genetics' wiki subject / school, with only a little MIT OCW so far - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Aging_Reversal_Genetics (and in listening to Harvard and MIT professor of Genetics' George Church regarding aging reversal genetic therapies emerging eg - https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk) and in wondering about the potential related? emerging genetic therapies for lung cancer in Asian populations and even about eventual clinical trials at World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) - for such developments.


Targeting new genetic drugs is something WUaS would seek to study and record in #AvatarAgentElectronicHealthRecords especially (and for all 7.9 billion people on the planet from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University) and think Google Street View's Pegman becoming a patient's digital twin EHR with Film-to-3D Apps' imaging, say from CT scans you talked about regarding lung cancer, added into this brand new approach to #ElectronicHealthRecords with AI and ML.


And how could this develop further re regional approaches to lung cancer therapies in GMaps et al per previous email (and brainstorming-wise with THR3 Toyota Humanoid Robots becoming MDSurgeryProfessors and with ToyotaAmbulanceVans, as two autonomous systems with a realistic virtual earth for telerobotic surgery, and modeling/simulations too ... and as an iterating 1 realistic virtual earth - think Google Street View with time with Pegman grows)? 

Again: 

'Jeff, Ed, Natalie, {all}, is any work being done at KP, at Stanford or in northern California - and especially on Asian lung cancer populations -  on 

Regionalizing lung cancer surgeries @JVelottaMD in #RealisticVirtualEarthForSurgery in #StreetView #TimeSlider #GMaps w #Pegman as #AvatarAgentElectronicHealthRecords & experiment even w #THR3 #HumanoidRobotics' #MDSurgeryProfessors w #ToyotaAmbulanceVans as 2 #AutonomousSystemsAI?

Google Gemini AI Machine Learning developments from BardAI? (Something to do with the Bard name too, and what it refers to...?) . . . 


Why did #GoogleBardAI become https://gemini.google.com? Better #LLM doing similar things?
How can @WorldUnivAndSch grow w this development work in 200 countries' #MITOCW-centric #WUaSunivs & their main languages https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Machine_Learning?

What is Google's Gemini AI tool (formerly Bard)? Everything you need to know
Google's conversational AI chatbot keeps getting upgrades - it even just got a new name. Want to give Gemini (formerly Google Bard) a try? Here's what you need to know.

40 languages

Gemini is Google's conversational AI chatbot, meant to function similarly to ChatGPT, with the biggest difference being that Google's service pulls its information from the web. (ChatGPT's data is limited up to 2021)

Like most AI chatbots, Gemini can code, answer math problems, and help with your writing needs. Starting in  February, Gemini can generate images as well. To access it, all you have to do is visit the Gemini

Hello Gemini ! Can you write code and add a wiki resource or citation to wiki MIT OCW-centric World University and School's Machine Learning wiki school 
that describes how you grow with your machine learning?

Hello Gemini ! Can you write code and add a wiki resource or citation to wiki MIT OCW-centric World University and School's Machine Learning wiki subject, for example, that describes how you grow with your machine learning? 




*

Interesting with article! 

Code snippet
* [How Large Language Models Like Me Learn and Grow](https://ai.stackexchange.com/questions/40507/how-do-large-language-models-like-bart-learn-and-grow) - This article explains how Large Language Models (LLMs) like me are trained on massive datasets, allowing us to continuously learn and improve our abilities.

**Note:** Remember to replace the URL and title with the actual resource you want to link.

2. **Explanation:**

This code snippet adds a bullet point with a clickable link to an external resource explaining how LLMs grow. 

**Option 2: Adding a Citation:**

1. **Code:**

```wiki
A recent study by Brown et al. (2022) explored the training process of large language models and concluded that continuous exposure to diverse data plays a crucial role in their development and ability to perform various tasks. (Brown, et al., 2022)

**Note:** Replace the author(s), year, and title with the actual citation information.

2. **Explanation:**

This code snippet cites a study that explains how LLMs grow with continuous data exposure. You can find the appropriate citation format for the chosen resource on the wiki's style guide.

**Additional Tips:**

* Tailor the resource or citation to the specific wiki subject for better relevance.
* Ensure the information provided is accurate and unbiased.
* Make sure the link or citation is accessible to readers.
* Follow the wiki's guidelines for formatting and adding references.

Remember, this is just a hypothetical example, and you'll need to adapt it to the specific requirements of the wiki platform and subject.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Use code with caution.
