Illustris Universe Simulation - HD

Astronomers at Harvard's Smithsonian Center for Astrpphysics have created the first realistic virtual model of the universe using a computer simulation tecnique called "Illustris" begining 12 million years after the Big Bang event.

Himalayan monal: Sivakami in India, (UC) Santa Cruz inspired poetry from her time studying there decades ago I think, Is this a genre of poetry and especially with a focus on the 1960s and 1970s and California too, and potentially in many many languages?, Sivakami's poetry re Shakespeare, [soulflash] Digest Number 3240‏, Our letters, Sivikami, did you enact MacBeth when you were at UC Santa Cruz in the 1970s? Namaste, Scott

Sivakami in India spent a semester or so at UC Santa Cruz in the 1970s, I think, and continues to write inspired poetry from her time there - decades ago

Is this a genre of poetry and especially with a focus on the 1960s and 1970s and California too, and potentially in many many languages? 

*
Thank you, Sivakami, for these.
Nice to have met you on Semester at Sea in India around 2004 I think.
I just returned from a conference at UC Santa Cruz recently (to Canyon in the SF Bay Area), and the time you spent there (when -in the 70s?) comes through again and again in your poetry very refreshingly re cultural shifts and vis a vis India and northern California post 1960s. The conference was on "Modelling Culture" digitally and archaeologically (and re an actual virtual anthropological book I'm about to publish -
http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html - and which has Harbin poetry in it).
Your email here comes through very serendipitously and synchronistically on my mother's birthday as well.
Have you excerpted your poetry specifically concerning your time in Santa Cruz?
Thank you again.
Namaste,
Scott
You'll find some of my poetry in my blog here -

Shakespeare And Me


Walk in, be semi-surrounded by juniors team up, talk simultaneously
Will you join our play?
You can be one of the sisters
Hema here our Class rep will be Kate
take the younger one, so I am in
The Taming of the Shrew.

Coming back to my own class
traitor they say so I opt for a Lady Macbeth , hair let loose
holding the candle
walk on stage and realize
I have forgotten the words
So I improvise and
do not remember to bring back the candle.

Hridyayakumari, Shakespeare veteran
her eyes glow as she reads the text. all works for general study six tragedies, six comedies detailed study
and don't forget the sonnets.

I am with my exam papers
so many names, mega mixed up
I snap my fingers, knock my knuckles on my forehead; I feel opaque nobody can untangle the family tree.

Now reading quotable quotes
brings back memories of my dad.

Kate, Hema Iyer, throws back her head
and talks. Shrewish language , violent gestures
a lady yet to be tamed. Me,
one of the sisters. Don't remember much.
warmth from my juniors draws me to them.
I walk into my own class, a traitor
make amends,enroll for Fancy dress
white satin overflowing on the wooden stage
long dishevelled hair let loose
a candle to wash my hands clean
out great spot, will these hands never be clean?
Wash,wash, I leave the candle behind.
My father's Quotable quotes
Hridyakumari rolling her passionate eyes
her eyes glow with literacy
I dwindle in size.
I am in awe. I manage to wind up.

Could a matriculated student begin a CC major university in his country as part of the degree process (where WUaS is planning to accredit on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC), Hashim Mohamed from the Sudan whose basic language is Arabic emailed me recently asking about scholarships at World University, Here's our correspondence:

Do you have scholarships for university students

Hi Hashim, 

Thanks for your inquiry.

World University and School seeks to offer free CC online degrees accrediting on MIT OCW and Yale OYC. What country do you live in and what are your main first languages? Prospective students would apply this autumn 2016 and matriculate online in autumn 2017 first for a free BA/BS and take about 36 courses over 4 years, as if applying to Duke/MIT/Stanford. Where are you in the studying process? What degree might you study for - BSBA, Ph.D., law, or MD or IB high school?

Thanks again for your email.

Best, Scott

Hi Hashim, 

Much of the engagement and studying at WUaS both in English, and eventually in Arabic, for free CC degrees as well as open wiki schools will occur through here -http://worlduniversityandschool.org. What are you interested in studying? How best to tell your friends about this opportunity, too? 

Best, Scott

Sugarcane: HOPE & inspiration in Jane Goodall's talks here, "Dr. Jane Goodall at Phillips Academy: Protecting Our Natural World," I enjoyed her knowledge of and insights into chimpanzee play in this video, for example, "Jane's interview - FRANCE - #HUMAN", Is/was Jane Goodall a hippie? I think she was significantly influenced by the 1960s and '70s in trying to raise her child like a chimpanzee for a while in Tanzania, in her environmental activism ... yes... and in her caring, How will questions of Primatology, Bonobo chimpanzees, Environmentalism, Conservation, Africa and Hippies for example, all play out in World University and School's wiki subject pages in multiple languages?
