Brya ebenus (Jamaican Rain Tree): Making headway with my next book - of poetry, Scott MacLeod's "Haiku ish and Other Loving Hippie Harbin Poetry," Another of my Harbin ethnographic books sold recently - http://bit.ly/HarbinBook and https://twitter.com/HarbinBook - My Harbin ethnographic book "Naked Harbin Ethnography" has a few of my poems in it - as ethnography, Here's a poem I shared today with the SoulFlash email list, which will likely be in my next book: "Monsieur Nikhil Bannerjee, master raga player, moved me along the way"

Making headway with my next book - of poetry - which should be fun. I think I'll aim for about 100 pages in a not large volume (6 x 9), with possibly 10 to 15 poems in it, and priced for a poetry market in India, as well as differently in the U.S. I'm enjoying the SoulFlash email list, of which Sivikami Velliangiri may be a founder. She was an interport lecturer on Semester at Sea, and attended UC Santa Cruz in the 1970s. I met Sivakami in Chennai, India, on the east coast, in around 2005 on the Semester at Sea ship.

I'll draw on poems here -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/poetry.

Hi M,

I may include 25-50 poems in my upcoming poetry book (I have a few more than 100 poems in my blog, and while many are Harbin focused, some are not) ... and aim for a 100 page book ... costing perhaps $26 in the US ... not sure how much in India.

Some more of my Harbin ethnographic books sold recently - http://bit.ly/HarbinBook and https://twitter.com/HarbinBook - and I made about $13 on these. Nelson said at TSWG recently that he had ordered one for the UC Berkeley Anthropology Library, a separate
Anthropology library at Berkeley which is unusual these days across the country at Unis and across the world at Unis too - so this may explain the .35 I made on one January sale. Nelson "needs it for his class" - helpful
language for the future. (I'll also get $13 via Amazon soon from a book that sold in December). I guess my book will now become available in inter-library loan with Unis. (I had given Nelson a proof hard copy of my book last September). Maybe I'll be able to give a book talk at Stanford too in the Continuing Ed and Anthropology departments, with their awesome Stanford bookstore selling my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" at each event.

My Harbin ethnographic books has a few of my poems in it - as ethnography.

I'm waiting to hear about the Wikipedia in Residence Libraries' position I applied for, and should hear something soon now at the end of January.

Will share another poem today with the SoulFlash poetry email group (and Sivakami Velliangiri), with many of these SoulFlash participants & readers and poets based in India.

Heading to a whale fest in Monterey today -
https://events.stanford.edu/events/657/65793/ - and maybe to one of two musical events at Stanford tonight on the way back, before choir also in Palo Alto tomorrow, and then a choir potluck in the evening in P.A. :)

L,
Scott

Here's a poem I shared today with the SoulFlash email list, which will likely be in my next book:

Monsieur Nikhil Bannerjee, master raga player, moved me along the way

Monsieur Nikhil Bannerjee,
master raga player,
moved me along the way,
on the road to Harbin,

sur la voie de Harbin.

'Afternoon Ragas:

Live in Amsterdam,'
became evening
soaking in the warm pool, -
space-making through
geothermal journeying,

with music,
avec de la musique.

Cloud-rainbow-beacon ~
light formation ~
in northern sky,
in kaleidoscopic, glorious,
afternoon Napa,
beamed steadily on
as I drove toward

the valley of Harbin,
dans la vallée de Harbin.

Bliss alive,
kiss of music-light-travel,
in natural world,
to beehive of healing …
at Harbin,
dear Harbin,

cher Harbin.

Can we do this online,
virtually, without mobility, -
or moving
in bodymind -
in our bathtubs, with
laptops, or
digital glasses, or
head bands, or
brainwave headsets, that
allow us to weave
narratives or music or visions,
together, in virtual worlds, or
via holography?
There are
generative possibilities
of creativity
ahead, via
interactive, movie realism …
and the relaxation response -

meditation in warm water,
méditation dans l'eau chaude …

as I,
poor wanderer,
move on,
from writing
by the side of the road,
toward Harbin,
riding sound waves

of musical light,
de la lumière musicale.

Christoph (and Haluk), 

Thank you!

Thanks for your excellent presentation in this new Swiss Alliance for Data Intensive Services. Since Switzerland has 4 official languages, and your presentation is in excellent English, how are you planning for / thinking of languages in terms of innovation service science / value creation / data services and planning for developments in Switzerland? (I ask in developing CC wiki World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - accrediting for CC university degrees in all countries' official languages on CC MIT OCW in its 7 languages to start and CC Yale OYC)? Are you developing courses, for example, in all 4 Swiss languages? Which languages are you developing courses for, for example, in conjunction with your member universities? Or are English and Swiss German the de facto main languages, for example? (In a similar vein, how would you invited Swiss 17 year old students to apply for online CC OCW university bachelor degrees at WUaS, first in English)?

Scott

Dear Scott,

good question. Yes, we have the language problem in Switzerland. However, within the network, we use English as working language, and most people are very used to it (academics anyway, but this also holds for a big part of our industry, as Switzerland is such a small country that most companies are forced to make business on an international level, and thus have to speak English on a regular basis).

The education courses (we are focusing on continued education, supporting directly the employees of companies) are typically in one of the country’s languages. So, in Geneva, you would have those courses in French, and in Zurich in German, and in Lugano in Italian. We are seeing a trend in using more and more English, and at the classical university programs (bachelor, master, and PhD level) there is a quite substantial part of the lectures given in English, but this is not yet very common in continued education. So for the 17 year old Swiss student, an English program is something that he has to deal with anyway.

Just for you to get a better understanding how we do it: The network itself as an organization will not create much of own courses – we rather let the universities use their courses and let them offer those courses in the framework of the network (which increases the attractiveness because they are basically free for the members, already paid for by the membership fee). So we don’t have an own strategy on both content and languages. But we’ll see – I guess that if we are coming into the situation of creating our own education courses, they will be in English.

Does this answer your questions?

Best

Christoph

Hi Scott,

just had a short look at your website. It might make sense to have a conversation if and how we could make your program am part of data+service.

Christoph

Dear Christoph,

Yes, thanks for your helpful answers. 

Yet Switzerland's 4 languages are an opportunity from wiki CC World University and School's perspective. (My family and I lived in Geneva for 6 months in the early 1970s -when my father was studying the health systems of 3 other European countries with a Ford Foundation grant). What is the main city of the Romansch language there?

I'll have a look at your ISSIP presentation again soon in terms of Swiss Alliance for Data Intensive Services membership, when it becomes available. (I gave an ISSIP presentation on a Universal Translator as a Guidebook with Test and as an ISSIP grand challenge; see http://www.slideshare.net/issip/world-university-and-school and http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/03/beluga-whale-course-in-1000-languages.html). But unfortunately World University and School's finances are basically non-existent. 

CC MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School seeks to create major online universities (Harvards/MITs of the Web) in all ~200 countries' main and official languages building and accrediting on the ~2300 CC MIT OCW courses here - https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm - which include all of the MIT Sloan School of Management/Business courses. While there's an open CC license to translate this CC MIT OCW (https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/), and they aren't in German, French or Italian (and WUaS isn't planning to offer them in Romansch for free CC Bachelor, Ph.d., law, M.D. as well as I.B. high school degrees) yet that I know of, - and WUaS would like to begin to develop Switzerland World University and School (e.g. http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Switzerland), Germany World University and School (and e.g. German language World University and School http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/German_language), France World University and School (and French World University and School), Italy World University and School (and Italian WUaS). WUaS is also planning a universal translator for all 7,097 languages probably building on Google Translate / Google Neural Machine Translation (and the Google Ecosystem - and WUaS ahs Google Education), which is STEM and course-centric. 

With WUaS's plans a) to create major CC MIT OCW-centric and Yale OYC-centric universities (building on the CC MIT OCW courseware in 7 languages) in all countries' main languages, offering CC Bachelor, Ph.D., law and M.D. degrees, as well as I.B. high school degrees, and b) to create wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,097+ known living languages, and also to create nation state and language markets in all these countries, WUaS would benefit enormously from participation in your Swiss Network. 

If WUaS was able to raise the monies to become a member of Swiss Alliance for Data Intensive Services, do you think you could help find Swiss 17 year old students interested in a CC MIT OCW-centric bachelor degrees (and eventually in other MIT OCW-centric university degrees mentioned above). WUaS will seek donations from governments in all countries' for some portion of what it costs to attend MIT and Stanford on the ground per year per student, while students would attend for free due to MIT's Creative Commons' licensing. If the Swiss Alliance for Data Intensive Services were also able to find highest achieving students (say 500-1000 even) from other European countries - first for MIT and Yale courses in English - the SAfDIS could benefit membership-wise further too, and in other ways. 

I'll respond to other email soon, and thank you.

Best, Scott

Hi Christoph, Gerold, and Paul (and Jim and Haluk),

Great. I enjoyed again your ISSIP presentation on Wednesday, Christoph. 

And looking forward to talking about World University and School's web site - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - with you (from the SF Bay Area) re the Swiss Alliance for Data Intensive Services, and re ISSIP too, and service science programming even. (I've glanced again at your presentation's slides - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_JDwPQNkAwSSk9iNW1GdXUxb28/view?usp=sharing - accessible here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4f17psTC9fsZUg4WXVuSWg2dUU and have some questions about membership, given WUaS's nearly non-existent finances). My ISSIP presentation on an Universal Translator as a Guidebook and Test is presentation 77 (and here in my blog - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/03/beluga-whale-course-in-1000-languages.html - with much else about developing World University and School). 

I'd like to introduce you / us to Paul Huppertz, another ISSIP speaker (Aug 27, 2014 - http://www.slideshare.net/issip/issip-service-terminology), https://www.linkedin.com/today/author/0_3xbiC5_tu8jkxitYPUpGUs ...  https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/produktion-versus-servuktion-paul-g-huppertz-%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BB-%D0%B3-%D1%85%D1%83%D0%BF%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%82%D1%86 ? He's developed service science programming, as well as terminology for this, in far-reaching ways. I emailed some with you, Paul, around the time of your presentation. 

World University and School is particularly initially interested, in developing our WUaS web site, in building our Course Catalog (CC MIT OCW-centric in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC-centric - see http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/01/cocobolo-bagpipe-wood-as-matriculated.html) for student applications in a "You at World University and School" (possibly in G+ and Google Education, which WUaS has, anticipating 11 billion people in 2100 as well as all 7,097 known living languages) main page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/You_at_World_University - to seek to get 2,000 high achieving matriculating students this autumn in English from all ~200 countries around the world. A high achieving student, as I see it, is one who would apply to and get into Harvard / Yale / MIT / Stanford, for example. 

See, too, the ~12 main areas at WUaS here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - which will inform WUaS, as we seek to emerge newly from Wikidata (with its MediaWiki) Wikipedia's database for its 358 languages much around this wiki http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE. L.P. is Wikidata / Wikimedia Germany's Product Manager, and our contact. I've met with Lydia twice at Wikimedia Developers' conferences in San Francisco, this January 2017 and last January 2016. :) WUaS seeks to develop our 12 main areas, including ALL 8k languages, nation states/countries/territories as universities, ALL Libraries in ALL 8k languages and ALL Museums in all 8k languages - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/11/lions-in-trees-all-libraries-all.html plus. 

Friday, February 3, 8-10am Pacific Time (http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/) would work best for me of the times you suggested (although the other Friday time on Feb 3 2017 is possible at this point, as well).

World University and School seeks to become a) the wiki "Harvards/MITs/Stanfords" of the web in each of all ~200 countries main and official languages (offering free CC OCW Bachelor, Ph.D., Law and M.D. degrees, as well as I.B. high school diplomas) and b) wiki schools in all 7,943 entries under languages (in Glottolog) for open teaching and learning. See, too, "14 Planned WUaS Revenue Streams" -  http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html - on both a) our non-profit CC wing and b) our upcoming for-profit wing (both planned in all 200 countries and 7,097 living languages as language markets). 

Thank you, and looking forward to talking, Christoph, potentially on February 3rd. 

All the best, 

Scott

Cocobolo (bagpipe wood): As a matriculated undergraduate student at World University and School ... this autumn, This "ENGL 291: THE AMERICAN NOVEL SINCE 1945" Yale OYC course, Met with a woman today at AFSC / SF Quaker Meeting who would like to matriculate as an undergraduate student at World University this autumn 2017, A free CC MIT OCW-centric and CC Yale OYC accrediting WUaS degree taking courses from this Course Catalog will help so many people and with their careers, especially

Hi Tanya, 

Very nice to meet and talk with you. 

Here are some of the links for CC OCW courses you might explore taking as a matriculated student at Friendly-informed WUaS toward a free CC MIT OCW-centric and CC Yale OYC-centric degree: 

If you're interested in an English major, these Yale courses may make most sense as a start - 

http://oyc.yale.edu/courses

This "ENGL 291: THE AMERICAN NOVEL SINCE 1945" Yale OYC course, which we glanced at, looks interesting - http://oyc.yale.edu/english/engl-291 - and especially with its video!

And here are the CC MIT OCW ~2300 courses in English -

https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm

And, as an example or a main area at WUaS, here's the "Library Resources' wiki subject page before move into a new wiki - 

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Library_Resources (planned in all 8k languages, each a wiki page to begin) - 

for, for example, https://openlibrary.org/ . 

(We spoke of a job she was applying for where she had to sell water in an online video. I shared with her this example, as a model as I see it for smart marketing,Tom Kalinske's example of a great Sega ad he did in the 1990s - 

https://twitter.com/ThomasTkalinske/status/823348462817153025 (accessible here - https://twitter.com/scottmacleod).

Let's explore further how we can further generate a far-reaching culture of Friendly flourishing knowledge generation in group video (learning from Stanford's and MIT's).

Looking forward to talking further about this. 

Friendly regards, 

Scott

I met with a woman today at AFSC / SF Quaker Meeting, Tanya S. Bergamot (above), whom I had met on Sunday at SF Quaker Meeting, (from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the Quaker Meeting there), who would like to matriculate as an undergraduate student at World University this autumn 2017. She doesn't have bachelor's degree (and wants one), is smart and loves to learn. (She also owns some houses in Pittsburgh, so has enough money to live on). This is wonderful interest and news, and it helps focus WUaS's planning. That she wants to be a WUaS student - and possibly go on to the planned WUaS law school in English is especially great news. A free CC MIT OCW-centric and CC Yale OYC accrediting WUaS degree taking courses from this Course Catalog -

Hi M, 

Nice to meet you at TSWG, and thanks for the invitation to the fundraiser in Pacifica on Saturday evening. (My Scottish small pipes' gig in Marin went well). It doesn't look like there's a TSWG this Friday, so I'm emailing you from here too. 

What do you think of the first image in Wikivoyage "Surfing" of this woman -

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/60/Surfer_SealBeach-01.jpg

(was - https://en.m.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Surfing#/media/File%3ASurfer_SealBeach-01.jpg ) - as emblematic of what you're interested in - https://en.m.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Surfing - and wiki surfing-wise too? How could we wiki-create this further in great new ways (and in many languages - an interest of mine)?

Enjoyed your writing here ... http://ladydays.org/2016/10/26/margaret-seelie/ and http://www.jettygirl.com/blog/tag/margaret-seelie/. 

I'm curious how surfing will grow in a realistic virtual earth as this develops, such as in Google Streetview. Check out the Harbin Hot Springs' gate here in Google Streetview/Maps/Earth - https://twitter.com/HarbinBook - where you can "walk" down the road 4 miles to Middletown - but can't yet go into Harbin. This virtual experience will improve toward virtual realism and much more with time probably ... and I'm curious how folks, and women surfers, will come to enjoy surfing in dramatically great new ways, virtually, co-creating surfing life online too.

Singing as surfing ? 

Cheers,
Scott

Hi Scott,

Thanks for emailing. It was good chatting with you on Friday. My event was great on Sat. hope you had a good set.

Glad you liked the interview on Lady Days and my little surf story. And you checked out my Flickr...I shoot bands, but don't play an instrument. You probably saw photos of my partner's bands on there.

Wikivoyage seems interesting. When I research a story or a topic, I tend to stick to books and libraries so I don't know much about the Wiki-world. The surfing links, to me, don't seem to represent the sport very accurately. Matt Warshaw is a surf historian, but writes from completely male perspective (so not very accurate either, in my opinion).

Are you familiar with vox.com? I'm not, but I read this great article yesterday that is discussing some of shortcomings of new information platforms (maybe similar to wikivoyage?) https://thebaffler.com/salvos/explanation-for-what-johnson The 2 main issues with some platforms that resonated with me in the article are the severe lack of diversity in the writers and content developers and the ways in which opinion is masquerading as fact. I looked up Portugal on Wikivoyage – a place I visited last summer – and found the content to read as bias and opinionated rather than factual and neutral. Not sure if that is what wikivoyage is going for or not?

As for virtual surfing, I don't even like wave pools (a hot new craze in the surfing world), so I doubt I'll be much into the virtual experience. But who knows, I'm open! And I know I could certainly learn much more about, well, virtual everything. So, looking forward to your presentation at TSWG. 

See you next meeting,

M

Hi M, 

Thanks for your email as well. Glad your Saturday event was great!

I'd like for World University and School to create online libraries in all ~8k languages in a realistic virtual earth like Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with TIME SLIDER, so that one will be able to pull books off the shelf from the Free Boston Public Library in the year 1900 and today, for example, and read them. (Google Translate is in 103 languages and newly with Google Neural Machine Translation +) ... and even from within augmented reality around us in a 15' cube as light show eventually. 

I haven't tuned into Wikivoyage very much at all, but WUaS and I are quite Wikipedia-centric focused, especially as it grows with structured data and Wikidata in its 358 languages. I think we'll then begin to see some beneficial developments in Wikivoyage that parallel those we may be seeing in Wikipedia editorially these days. And WUaS donated itself to Wikidata, Wikipedia's database in October 2015, and will emerge newly from there soon-ish. So perhaps your students will be able to help develop Wikivoyage at some point - and re Surfing - as well as WUaS, and even for free CC MIT OCW-centric university degrees. 

WUaS's and Wikipedia's a) volunteer wiki editor focus, as well as b) eventually graduate students at WUaS in all 8 k languages may well help develop editorial diversity at WUaS +. 

Online sports are and have been a big thing ... curious to see how they evolve experience wise along the actual - virtual conversation (which my Harbin book explores re Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin : ) But I'm interested in Surfing emerging from the interesting times in California / Hawaii + in the 1960s / 1970s especially.

Let's start a "Surfing" wiki subject page for open teaching and learning at World University - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects (and to give you an idea of how anyone can create a wiki subject at WUaS with an academic or a creative focus +. For example, see the Watsu wiki subject - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Watsu_-_water_shiatsu - which started at Harbin) - but perhaps after WUaS moves to the new wiki emerging from Wikidata, and thus in many languages.

See you next meeting. 

Cheers, 

Scott

Hi Kshitiz, 

Thanks. I wonder how well this would dovetail with CC MIT OCW-centric wiki CC World University and School's planned online law schools in all countries' main languages. Please tell me more. 

Here, for example, are World University and School's beginning ...

Law Schools at WUaS (planned in main languages in them):

(Stanford already has a number of related countries' legal projects, and WUaS would love to "house" them under one roof, e.g. https://cgc.law.stanford.edu/. And the edX-HarvardX-JuryX course I'm currently in, taught by Harvard Law School Emeritus Professor Charlie Nesson could possibly even bring juries in MIT UnHangouts to countries like Afghanistan, and to all countries' which might like to explore this type of legal justice process). 

And see, for example, here in the World University Law School -  http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Law_School - the "Select Links" to wiki pages / subjects part way down, including CC Law, Copyright, Patenting, IP, Maritime Law and much more. WUaS is planning to create these wiki subject pages in all countries' main languages (and anyone can create a related wiki subject page in a something they are interested in), and connect them with law schools in each of their "Nation States" - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nation_States - each of which will become a major online university offering CC Bachelor, Ph.D., law, M.D., as well as I.B. high school diplomas (accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC), and as "Harvards/Oxfords of the Internet." WUaS is Creative Commons' licensed on our non-profit side, and very CC MIT OCW-centric & CC Yale OYC-centric.

And as an example of another country's WUaS, here is India World University and School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/India - not yet in Hindi or any of the other 21 official languages there (before World University moves to a new wiki emerging from Wikidata, which is Wikipedia's 4 year old database with its 358 languages, and developing with AI, machine learning and machine translation).  

World University and School's faculty - beginning with graduate student instructors in all countries' main languages - will teach developing law for their countries with regards to the information technology age, and in accrediting law schools. 

Friendly greetings from the SF Bay Area,

Hi Scott,

I will read your ideas in detail and get back to you. Right now I am trying my best to participate in the course at MIT.

Hi Kshitiz,

Thanks very much for your reply. I'm interested in observing / auditing this course, since 

a) I can't participate on Tuesday at 2pm Eastern Time (2-3pm - Talks and Tutorials - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1reljPcEXQR1CSgwPci0iwTRM7o9CDqnBJIpsKA8hxRY/pub ) - due to meeting with a potential CEO of one wing of startup CC World University and School which I'm developing, with its planned law schools in all countries' main languages, and 

b) I have another online meeting on Tuesday at 5 pm ET (5:00-5:50pm -  Project Presentations and Feedback) - which is an online Harvard Law talk with the chair of the Federal Communication Commission, (but which may also be recorded).

c) I don't have the right computer equipment per - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2qTVJiuEwU . 

Hence, I might not necessarily be a very good team member. But I'm interested in the course nevertheless - and I would try to do my best given these constraints.

When I tried to add this email address - Scott MacLeod <worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com> - here - https://law.mit.edu/Computational-Law-Course - I also didn't have the option to enter it completely, and thus I couldn't "Request form for permission to enroll in the 2017 MIT/IAP Computational Law course". 

In your seeking of team members, could you possibly please add me to this somehow so I can audit / observe - and possibly partly as a team member? Thank you.

See you online in about 3 hours? 

Do you happen to know MIT Professors Anant Agarwal or Sandy Pentland?

Thank you. 

Regards, 

Scott
