Chinese elm (Ulmus Parvifolia): These 22 million WikiTree profiles - and re WUaS Wikidata Q-item3s or related PIN# * The author Douglas Adams' Wikidata Q item # - https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42 - as WikiTree profile is the idea, - at WUaS too



WIkiTree is 22 million profiles created by a lot of garbage GEDCOM uploads and work done of mostly retired people using an old modified Wiki 1.11.0 https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Version .... they don't have the resources to upgrade to the latest version of Wiki software....


*
An amazingly big step ... what might Lydia and WikiData say about resources, I wonder? (Is it possible to include her in this conversation, I wonder too?


*
Don't involve Lydia you can set up your own Wikibase and start playing reread the consequencies of adding bad genealogy data without sources
* https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/951698/bot-import-of-the-peerage-data-in-wikidata-good-or-bad-news
* https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User_talk:GZWDer#User:GZWDer_(flood)_creating_duplicates



*
Thanks for the suggestion, Magnus. These 22 million Wikitree profiles may help, since World Univ & Sch's main focus is creating a Wikidata Q-item # or similar Personal Identification Number PIN# in Wikidata for our 500-2000 matriculating students in autumn 2020 and eventually for Universitians in all 200 countries and in all 7111 known living languages, and then conceptually for all 7.5 billion people, - and as WUaS makes interoperable out "front end" eg You at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - with our Wikidata "Back end." WUaS is also seeking to plan for all 7.5 billion people, each a PIN# in Wikidata, for these 4 reasons

... iv) a single family tree for genealogy research as in WikiTree (https://www.wikitree.com, and see too World Family Tree, and for aggregating DNA samples too


- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/ohio-river-if-wikitree-plans-for-single.html


iv) a single family tree for genealogy research as in WikiTree (https://www.wikitree.com ...), and for aggregating DNA samples too (see item 2 again).

In what ways could Wikdiata plan for all 7.5 billion people each a Wikidata Q-item # and for the above reasons and many more (and keeping in sync with Wikipedia's mission of "the sum of all human knowledge" where all 7.5 billion people generate this with their language, for example)?

- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/arabian-sand-gazelle-minutes-for-annual.html

... so I think WUaS's strategy re these will inform engaging Wikibase. Are you a teacher of Wikibase, Magnus?



*
Why Wikidata.... you dont have one argument why they should be in WIkidata.... I hope you understand that it is Open Free data and Wikidata objects are deleted...  see

Wikidata has problem scaling today and it will never be able to have 7.5 billion objects.... see Europeana objects that they copied from Wikidata and now are deleted in Wikidata but the still reference them https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T240738


*
WUaS donated itself to Wikidata, Magnus, in 2015, and received WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in 2017 ...



*
The author Douglas Adams' Wikidata Q item # - https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42 - as WikiTree profile is the idea, - at WUaS too

Gene Therapy for Sickle-Cell Anemia Looks Promising—but It’s Riddled With Controversy

Gene therapy[edit]

In 2001, sickle cell disease reportedly had been successfully treated in mice using gene therapy.[125][126] The researchers used a viral vector to make the mice—which have essentially the same defect that causes human sickle cell disease—express production of fetal haemoglobin (HbF), which an individual normally ceases to produce shortly after birth. In humans, using hydroxyurea to stimulate the production of HbF has been known to temporarily alleviate sickle cell disease symptoms. The researchers demonstrated that this gene therapy method is a more permanent way to increase therapeutic HbF production.[127]
Phase 1 clinical trials of gene therapy for sickle cell disease in humans were started in 2014. The clinical trials will assess the safety of lentiviral vector-modified bone marrow for adults with severe sickle cell disease.[128][129] As of 2018, however, no randomized controlled trials have been reported.[130] A case report for the first person treated was published in March 2017, with a few more people being treated since then.[131][132]
Gene editing platforms like CRISPR/Cas9 have been used to correct the disease-causing mutation in hematopoietic stem cells taken from a person with the condition.[133] In July 2019 the gene-editing tool CRISPR was used to edit bone marrow cells from a person with SCD to "turning on" the gene for fetal haemoglobin.[134]

How do chimpanzees, common & Bonobo chimps, Orangutans, gorilla do 'troopbondage' (per John Money, Ph.D. - http://scottmacleod.com/JohnMoneyConceptsOfDeterminism.html)?


Troopbondage 

"Troopbondage means bondedness among individuals so that they become members of a family or troop that continues its long-term existence despite the loss or departure of any one member. Human troopbondage has its primate phyletic origin in the fact that members of the troop breed not in unison but asynchronously, with transgenerational overlap, and with age-related interdependency. In newborn mammals, the troopbonding of a baby begins with its pairbonding with its mother as the phyletically ordained minimum unit for its survival and health. After weaning, it is also phyletically ordained for herding and troopbonding species that isolation and deprivation of the company of other members of the species or their surrogate replacements is incompatible with health and survival. Nonhuman primate species are, in the majority of instances, troopbonders like ourselves."




And with regards to the human fascination too with genealogy research in the modern world, - and which anthropologists have studied too in terms of kinship in the field in field sites, oral histories of families ... and with regards too to an ancient form of knowledge (science) generation as well?

Hi M,

Merry Christmas ... https://mwkworks.com/desiderata.html .

A Desiderata focus in 2020?

L, Scott




*

    Desiderata

    Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
    and remember what peace there may be in silence.
    As far as possible without surrender
    be on good terms with all persons.
    Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
    and listen to others,
    even the dull and the ignorant;
    they too have their story.

    Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
    they are vexations to the spirit.
    If you compare yourself with others,
    you may become vain and bitter;
    for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
    Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
    Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
    it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
    Exercise caution in your business affairs;
    for the world is full of trickery.
    But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
    many persons strive for high ideals;
    and everywhere life is full of heroism.
    Be yourself.
    Especially, do not feign affection.
    Neither be cynical about love;
    for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
    it is as perennial as the grass.
    Take kindly the counsel of the years,
    gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
    Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
    But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
    Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
    Beyond a wholesome discipline,
    be gentle with yourself.
    You are a child of the universe,
    no less than the trees and the stars;
    you have a right to be here.
    And whether or not it is clear to you,
    no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
    Therefore be at peace with God,
    whatever you conceive Him to be,
    and whatever your labors and aspirations,
    in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
    it is still a beautiful world.
    Be cheerful.
    Strive to be happy.

Dear Larry, Professor Hennessy (chairman of Alphabet and former President of Stanford University), Lydia, Peter, and Pin (aka Sid),


Happy, happy and Merry, merry!

Am wondering if the WikiTree plans for a single Family Tree with genetic information from people (like DNA Ancestry.com and 23 and Me, for ex.) will lead the Wiki community in general, and the Wikidata and Wikimedia communities' to plan for all 7.5 billion people each a Wikidata Q-item number or similar, for example, which might be called a Personal ID # or PIN# and for people in all 200 countries and speakers of all 7,111 living languages brainstorming-wise (at wiki World University and School, which is like Wikipedia in 300 languages, with MIT OCW in its 5 languages, and at the WUaS Press too, both planned in all ~200 countries' official languages as major online universities, and in all 7111 known living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning).
Peter, I just blogged with your Christmas VR virtual world video card -



http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/sun-balamory-scotland-in-virtual-world.html?m=0. Thank you, again, for the WUaS Logo and the video VR card!

P.S. (from Sunday, 12/22/19):


Larry, John (Hennessy), Peter and Lydia,

Nice to talk in WUaS monthly business meeting yesterday. Per attempting to update the WUaS home page website with the lost materials due to its being hacked including donation button, I recall now that I haven't been able to upload anything in recent weeks with FTP.  Filezilla FTP is somehow blocked. Will likely call Gate.com host and inquire.

With new open edX-WUaS collaboration developments - and in many languages - WUaS really needs a CTO. (Peter, Lydia? - know of anyone from the ~300 languages' Wikidata community by any chance?)

On the way to SFO airport to Pittsburgh for Christmas. Thanks for the really great Xmas VR video card with your great WUaS logo in it, Peter! And thanks for participating in another generative WUaS Monthly Business Meeting, Larry. 

With very very best wishes for the New Year, and happy Christmas,
Scott

Arabian sand gazelle: Minutes for ANNUAL MEETING on Saturday, November 16, 2019 for A) World University & School and B) WUaS Corporation at WUaS Monthly Business Meeting


WUaS is seeking to plan for, brainstorming-wise, coding for all 7.5 billion people for the following reasons:

All 7.5 billion people, each a Personal Identification Number PIN# (instead of a Wikidata Q-item number) for ...


i) wiki Universitians in 7,111 known living languages, and matriculated students in all ~200 countries,


ii) Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records, with genetic therapies, and for molecular tele robotic surgery, for ex.,


iii) Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (and to alleviate poverty), and to DISTRIBUTE a single cryptocurrency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks (where the Euro is in 19 out of 28 EU countries, and backed by their central banks in one way or another) ... and potentially with UBI experiment recipients able, for example, to mine the "Mine Pi" cryptocurrency (as a mineable single cryptocurrency), developed by Stanford graduates, by clicking on the 'lightning button' brainstorming-wise. 


iv) a single family tree for genealogy research as in WikiTree (https://www.wikitree.com, and see too World Family Tree - https://www.geni.com/worldfamilytree), and for aggregating DNA samples too (see item 2 again).

In what ways could Wikdiata plan for all 7.5 billion people each a Wikidata Q-item # and for the above reasons and many more (and keeping in sync with Wikipedia's mission of "the sum of all human knowledge" where all 7.5 billion people generate this with their language, for example)?

How would you suggest developing Lego PBL in a realistic virtual environment - #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego in #RealisticVirtualEarth?

Here's a Lego Project-based learning Tweet you might be interested in & in Hong Kong @kwagssd3 for ex.

Kyle, please remember that Lego Robotics works with the Scratch drag and drop programming language from MIT ... https://scratch.mit.edu/users/ScottWorldUnivAndSch/ ... and Scratch 3 supports Google Translate languages, I've read. 

Am curious in what ways PBL articulates with Reed College's conference method approach - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - to both Science, Humanities and arts, as well as my high school in Pittsburgh, PA, Shady Side Academy - https://www.shadysideacademy.org/academics and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shady_Side_Academy (where we studied science, humanities/social sciences and arts with regards to critical thinking, and with fairly high achievers who are mostly heading to college) ... and re the International Baccalaureate diploma (https://www.ibo.org/benefits/the-ib-teaching-style/),  MIT OCW high school - https://ocw-origin.odl.mit.edu/high-school/ - as well as the edX / HarvardX / MITx platform -https://www.edx.org/high-school - for high school. 

Thanks too for the online PBL Twitter chat with Evelyn McCulloch in Florida in October (what's her email?), which I blogged about here

Wishing you all the best in the New Year, Kyle, and Evelyn!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Scott
