Kipengere Range, Tanzania: M 4/6/26 & 4/13/26 & open @WorldUnivAndSch #WUaSNewsAndQA & #WUaSWeeklyBusinessMeeting Agenda & News

Dear World University and School community and networks, Universitians, all,

Happy Spring Egg Day (Happy Easter)!

As you know, World University and School has 2 wings,

1 the 501 c 3 tax-exempt World University and School wing (http://worlduniversityandschool.org/), comprised of 2 legal entities:

1a) the the 501 c 3 US federal legal entity

1b) the state of California tax exempt legal entity

AND

2 the WUaS Corporation wing (http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html), a for-profit general stock company legal entity in the state of California

WITH

amazing synergies between these 2 wings, since both wings are planned in 200 countries as major research universities, and in all 7159 living languages for speakers in these, and as WUaS seeks to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet each a Wikidata PIN # from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and to both facilitate free universal education, and potentially to end poverty worldwide (with free education) too, and by distributing Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily - https://minepi.com/ - to, say, the poorest billion people on the planet.

In some of these regards, I've added a new signature with the email addresses for 1) president and 2) WUaS CEO separately regarding 2 WUaS wings - and see below. Might Vivek Hutheesing (with his Columbia MBA, and his Cornell BA in Finance), and whom I know from Berkeley, consider becoming the WUaS CEO? See Agenda A.

World University and School is curious how the state of California's FTB is progressing with coding the tax-exempt platform for state of CA tax-exempt legal entities here - https://www.sos.ca.gov/business-programs/bizfile?

While World University and School due date to file the next Statement of Information SI Form 199 is April 30, 2026 - https://bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov/search/business -

... World University and School hasn't been able to do this yet.

In doing so, on the World University and School wing, ...

will World University and School be able to seek grants both US federal (e.g. with https://www.grants.gov/, and related state of CA grants, in new ways after April 30, 2026?

D 1

Will World Univ & Sch's Guidestar/Candid listing, affiliated with the IRS, and partly for such grants, become more functional? And see - https://www.guidestar.org/profile/27-3105368.

And on the WUaS Corporation for profit wing, our second wing ...

Will WUaS be able to develop with Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency initially, as a for-profit general stock company in the state of California, and even possibly with time list the WUaS Corporation on a stock exchange, (and re the Academic Press at WUaS in 7159 living languages with machine and human translation, and the WUaS Educational Services' Stores in all 200 countries)

... working effectively with our state of CA TAX EXEMPT World Univ & Sch LEGAL entity?

World Univ & Sch's OPEN WUaS Weekly Business Meeting News and Q&A meet on Mondays, next on M April 6, 2026, at 9:00 AM Mexico City Time, 10:00 AM Pacific Time, 11 AM Mountain Time, 1:00 PM ET (US & Canada), 5:00 PM GMT, 10:30 PM India Time, 1:00 AM Tuesday the next day Hong Kong Time (but please CHECK your time converter from any of your 24 time zones to join this open WUaS Weekly Business Meeting) with Zoom URL in the open WUaS Weekly Business Meeting Agenda and News below and in the following WUaS blog posts.

World Univ & Sch is growing daily, and blog post by blog post too ... And waiting, I think, for the CA exempt filing process to advance, and the Candid Guidestar platform to develop too - https://www.guidestar.org/profile/27-3105368 ... And waiting for accreditation opportunities to further develop ... And for money ... How also to grow an engaged and engaging research and wiki learning community - with wiki-teachers and wiki-learners teaching and learning in these subjects - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects (first in English but then in all 200 countries' main languages, and then among speakers of all 7159 living languages, with wiki-subjects you can create ... about what you love) - in all of this further, and both online & from Canyon 94516 potentially too?

"To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs than to realize it in virtual Reality" poetry book questions to Pegasus bookstore in Berkeley

Dear Tim,

shattuck@pegasusbookstore.com

Greetings and I hope this email finds you well. I'm writing to inquire if Pegasus Books on Shattuck in Berkeley might carry my "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs than to realize it in virtual reality" 2019 poetry book.

Thanks so much to the nice woman at the counter who gave me your email a few weeks ago, and said you were the person who considered getting books for the store on shattuck@pegasusbookstore.com. (I just came in again today Sum 4/5/26 and spoke with the same nice woman asking about the 1958 book "The Guide" by RK Narayan, as one of 10 great Indian novels inspired by Yoga, possibly comic, along the lines of "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard," which I enjoyed, and per Gemini - https://g.co/gemini/share/6e13f65bb682 - but have also since found it online in 2 places, Internet Archive +).

I had mentioned to her my writing 5 books that are Harbin Hot Springs' inspired, one sociocultural ethnographic book (t's in the UC Berkeley Anthropology library's collection), and the other four poetry books, and that they are all published in a new Press: The Academic and Poetry Press at World University and School, planned in all 7,159 living languages with machine and human translation; (free-to-students' World University and School, still a startup, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages - https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/ - seeks to offer free online WUaS degrees - Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, IB high school or similar, AA/AS and Master's - from home, in each of all 200 countries and in their main languages, and as we proceed with accreditation further). And I inquired whether Pegasus books might even consider carrying my -

"To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs than to realize it in virtual Reality"

... 2019 poetry book.

I had also mentioned how a book group's organizer, based in Lisbon, Portugal, and I had been corresponding about their creating a Book Feature / Spotlight / Event Summary of my "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually!" book. You'll find the correspondence here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/03/red-dahlia-to-dance-or-pools-virtually.html

and the beginnings of the

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aEAcfEPv_1vzyCgdSw4iLfpJ-cqDT78l/view?usp=sharing

... but I decided on behalf of the Poetry Press at WUaS too not to go through with this Featuring of my book.

Greetings to the nice woman at the Pegasus on Shattuck avenue, Berkeley, counter. Am writing now my upcoming "Society, Information Technology, and the Global University" book.

Does "Pegasus Books" on Shattuck in Berkeley have a focus on local authors, and about local places like Harbin Hot Springs - Heart Consciousness Church in Lake County about 2 hours NE of Berkeley too? As you may read, am seeking to create a #RealisticVirtualHarbin #HotSprings - and think Google Street View with time slider, GMaps, Gemini AI and TensorFlowAI and for even soaking from home in our bathtubs eg in -

ONSEN's perspective - which is in a relatively new 'tilt-able' Youtube interactive immersive #InfoTech

竹取亭円山有馬温泉湯めぐりVR

https://youtu.be/X6YBetANDUI

- (#Hashtags on TwitterX and sometimes on #LinkedIN) in my 2nd Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book project (7th upcoming book), and for online ethnographic STEM and brain research, and even for publishing from Google Street View with #TextInTheSideBar to paper and new digital hardware formats like a #WUaSMultimediaRoom, and even to study bliss in a virtual Harbin (and see https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306) - and potentially to invent the book anew.

Have you or other Pegasus book folks ever visited Harbin Hot Springs ?

Thanks, best regards, kindly,

Scott
