Minutes for World University and Schools Monthly Business Meeting on 9/19/20

1

World Univ & Sch, in taking the next steps of partnering with edX Online Campus, is seeking to matriculate undergraduate students for free-to-students' online Bachelor degrees on or around 1 January 2021. 

2

Regarding partnering with edX Online Campus, World University and School has met twice (in the week of M Sept 21, 2020) with edX Online Campus in MIT Zoom video conferencing, once on Monday for an hour, with Matthew Gusching and Cameron Kaubris, and once on Wednesday (9/23/20) for 45 minutes with Matthew and Carolina McGarity. Thanks to edX's Marissa DePaolo for helping to facilitate this. Here's the current development in terms of partnering: 

Hello Scott,

I hope my note finds you well - thank you for your email and your questions. I have moved Cam and Marissa to BCC to protect their inbox as they have advisory roles with WUaS and will not be focused on our initiative directly. 

Research: The McGovern Brain Institute is a research arm that develops the Pedagogy of edX Online Campus. You can read more about their research and findings, here. 

Summary of Partnership: To establish a partnership with edX, we have an agreement process to decide together the scope of the initial roll-out for students. In this stage, we decide how the reimbursement process will be directed and the discovery process for students finding edX courses. 

Following the agreement, we will launch by selecting programs/courses that best fit your learners, implementing the discovery process for students to find courses, and connecting the data back to you to monitor progress and assist learners through programs. 

Next Steps: As the agreement is the next hurdle, here are a few questions we need to answer to move forward: 

• How will the reimbursement process work between WUaS and edX?
  
• How soon after enrollment can WUaS secure funds for edX Online Campus Courses?
• Will a Purchase Order be necessary from edX to state offices? 

Thanks again and please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
Matthew (edX For Business)

See, too, this WUaS-edX recent correspondence: 

Oncosperma tigillarium: World Univ & Sch partnering with edX! * Thank you for doing the math here, and seeing the potential regarding WUaS and edX Online Campus. As you know, WUaS seeks to offer online CC-4 MIT-centric VALUE degrees, and thus be able to seek reimbursement from state offices per student per term, similar to what on-the-ground MIT asks for tution (around $55,000 per year). Thank you.

WUaS seeks to facilitate Asylum online in a realistic virtual earth / virtual reality - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth?src=hashtag_click - and in conjunction with Friends Hospital (Philadelphia, PA), and seeks also to explore collaborating on a 3 year lecture series too. This would be as part of WUaS Psychiatry (in all ~200 countries and their official / main languages). Such an online asylum approach to psychiatry would be informed by a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs too - https://twitter.com/search?q=%23RealisticVirtualHarbin&src=typeahead_click.

So, WUaS also seeks to facilitate online psychiatry, perhaps engaging a Project ECHO approach (with mentoring aspect), as well as online psychoanalysis (Lacanian-informed, in part, and a California School of Psychoanalysis informed too).

And WUaS also seeks to facilitate initially an online 3 years' lecture series (Stanford thinking-inspired) by psychiatrists and thinkers in the field (and Friendly Quaker-informed too) and in thinking about psychiatric issues today in all ~200 countries and in their official and main languages. 

And, see, too:

Minutes for September 19, 2020 WUaS Corporation Board Meeting

WUaS Press / WUaS Corporation

A

For UBI experiments to alleviate poverty and to distribute a single cryptocurrency in most of ~200 countries in world, WUaS is planning to code for all 7.8 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item # or a similar Wikidata Pin # - as wiki teachers and learners (in that WUaS donated itself to Wikidata in 2015 and is therefore in Wikidata) - and to facilitate wiki open teaching and learning, regarding free universal wiki education for the people and by the people (in addition to free, highest quality best STEAM CC-4 OpenCourseWare centric degrees at WUaS, for matriculating students at World Univ & Sch) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University.

B

WUaS will explore collaborating further with the state of California, its Stockton UBI experiment, and even regarding the WUaS Corporation listing on the emerging Silicon Valley Long-Term Stock Market, - (again regarding distributing a single cryptocurrency in most of ~200 countries' official and main languages, and backed by their central banks). This would dovetail with California seeking to create quality jobs for everyone, and WUaS seeking to create 2.2 million jobs in all ~200 countries and in all 7,117 known living languages. 

See, too, regarding this recent state of California panel discussions :

Congratulations to Alexandra Orellana - Vlachakis who has just become Executive Director at Chicago Public Schools - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandravlachakis/. Alexandra was the Sr. Enterprise Manager for LEGO Education from May 2019 – Sep 2020 in the Greater Chicago Area, and made it possible for the WUaS Educational Services' Store - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - to carry 'officially' 3 Lego robotics' kits, available to WUaS students, and others, in the US only at this point. 

WUaS: "What an amazing new role for you, Alex - and coming out of your Lego role! Congratulations, and let's stay in touch re you being the executive director of the Chicago Public School system, and World Univ & Sch's plans for online 'WUaS Home Robotics' schools in all ~200 countries' official languages. Your new-found knowledge in the Chicago public schools could well help WUaS students in all ~200 countries to learn via home robotics at the high school and university levels, in Engineering-Related fields, via WUaS Home Robotics.

Monotropa uniflora: Piobaireachd (classical bagpiping music) and BEAUTY (philosophically even)? * Beauty in Piobaireachd re these "Guidelines for Practicing a Musical Instrument" - http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm ... brainstorming-wise ... and ... * * * Making ongoing recordings for "Honey in the Bag" Scottish small pipes' album

 

Piobaireachd (classical bagpiping music) and BEAUTY (philosophically even)

... 

Taylor, good 'to PIobaireachd' with you last night :)

Regarding 

A

beauty and Piobaireachd? - re these Ma & Marsalis' Guidelines for Practicing a Musical Instrument - http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm ...

All apart from what I'll coin as 'Piobaireachd philosophy,' here are a definition and some thoughts/connections about beauty (re Ma & Marsalis, initially) and Piobaireachd ...

... so here's a definition of beauty: 

"a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, (especially the sight)" (which sight aspect could relate to kilts and the Scottish kit of Piobaireachd players?)

Beauty re these "Guidelines ... " - http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm ... brainstorming-wise: 

2 never make a sound without hearing it first; hear it in your mind.

4 join feelings into your music when you feel bad, to integrate your feelings with your mind and body.

5 Relax and practice slowly.

7 Practice expressively.
Be serious – invest yourself expressively.

10 Think for yourself.
Don’t become a robot, but don’t dismiss what you’re taught.

12 Look for connections. (Make the social aspect of practicing regenerative - S.M.)
Music washes away the dust of everyday life from your feet.

and ... 

B

synthesize all 4 Piobaireachds in CoP Yellow Tutor Vol. 4 together in your bodymind into 'one computer program' for playing all 200-300 'major' Piobaireachds (and not just the form underlying "The Company's Lament"? :) ... would take 'deep listening' and internalization :)

and ...

C

exploring the Dixon manuscript may be a fascinating way to bring into circulation again new great tunes ...

"William Dixon manuscript - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › William_Dixon_manuscript

The William Dixon manuscript, written down between 1733 and 1738 in Northumberland, is the oldest known manuscript of pipe music from the British Isles, and the most important source of music for the Border pipes" 

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Dixon_manuscript

... and even regarding - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_smallpipes_and_borderpipes - with Scottish smallpipes not only emerging from GHB music (for me), but also emerging from Northumbrian and borders' piping ... 

But how too to find the most lyrical tunes, in general, to each of our ears? ... Write an algorithm for this (with echoes of brilliant Tufts' Anthropology Prof. Nick Seaver's work on the culture of algorithm and recommender systems ... and now there's some similar in Google Tensorflow 

👀 https://t.co/xLoedzgDJn

— Nick Seaver (@npseaver) September 23, 2020

https://twitter.com/npseaver/status/1308872685661888514?s=20 ... )

and ...

 

D

I'd like to be able to think & speak as remarkably as Princeton philosopher, and Humean, David Kellogg Lewis - https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/david-lewis/ - does philosophically, but regarding beauty and Piobaireachd, and maybe we can explore with time in conversation ... (since this Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article says he wrote in the field of aesthetics too, and here's the SEP article on 'beauty' - https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/beauty/ :) 

... and here's something with David Lewis in the title from UC Davis Social Sciences (as a kind of expression of a 'California school of philosophy' even? ... I went to a Stanford conference on this a few years ago (in blog too))

and ... 

E

Looks like Siubhal (fingering movement) may have been misspelled in The College of Piping's (CoP) Yellow Tutor, Vol. 4 - 

Siubhal

A type of Piobaireachd variation, pronounced "shoo-al", similar to the Dithis. Consisting of a G gracenote to Low A, followed by the theme note. If the theme note is a B or C, it is accompanied by a D gracenote.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_bagpipe_terms

Let's explore further the Canntaireachd too for the siubhal :)

Thoughts, questions, ideas, suggestions? 

Cheers, 

Scott

So, Angus MacLellan and wee Donald MacLeod in comparison regarding some of the below and playing "The Company's Lament"? (And maybe we can find some examples of MacLeod playing Piobaireachd very differently, and when not instructing too:)

Here's PM Donald MacLeod:

The Company's Lament

Pipe Major Donald MacLeod M.B.E.

https://youtu.be/UOQ1Uvd_Foc

Scott: 

Deep listening really seems to be the key; as we've established, there's only so much that can be written down to convey how a tune should sound and the classic method of listening to master pipers really helps illustrate it best. "Listening" is its own form of practice, in a way. 

I'll keep a note about the closed F. I'd been closing the G instead for a while before I realized what I was doing. Bridging the chili with the other notes can be tricky and I'm working on that. too. 

Found a good recording by Gary West, by the way. I think that's Wendy Stewart on the guitar; an interesting interpretation.

Appreciating the language here and the Scots' focus too ...

Thanks for sharing this Piobaireachd, Taylor!

* * 

Some of the above Scottish small pipes' theory starts from the 'outside' of Piobaireachd playing culture ... and it would be interesting to develop further 'Piobaireachd philosophy' - as thinking about, and teaching and learning - re beauty for example, from the inside of this piping culture too :)

Some bios - 

Angus MacLellan (again?) and mentioning his relationship with wee Donald re as 'big Angus':) -

Taylor, 

Re middle finger down in Piobaireachd for high As or high Gs: 

... in listening to my skipping old Yellow Tutor compact disk CD recording again, I just heard Angus MacLellan say that the high G in Piobaireachd is always played with the middle finger down (and the thumb too, of course). And there's a considerable difference between playing a high G with and without a middle finger down (in Piobaireachd) tone-wise ...

I had learned that 'the high A in Piobaireachd is always played with middle finger on chanter' - and found this here too;  

"And the fingering isn't optional...but the high A fingering is optional it seems. I prefer the traditional (same as high G, middle finger down) but many players are opting for the light music high A nowadays. Don't know why."

http://forums.bobdunsire.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-66639.html

So, let's talk about this on Thursday further ... and regarding a 'tone question' for high G and high A, and playing Piobaireachd learning in part from the CoP Tutor ... and the tones we like, as well as what we want to learn further. (I'm not, for one, planning to compete on GHB in Piobaireachd, in any Highland Games for example, but I think tone and tuning ar very important on SSP too).

Cheers, Scott

Taylor, 

You expressed interest in playing a jig for next week or soon. How about "Glasgow City Police Pipers" which is composed by PM Donald MacLeod, and is a really great tune too, - for the following week?

Here are 3 versions of sheet music digitally -

https://youtu.be/Q89ahrJLFnA

& without grace notes

http://abcnotation.com/tunePage?a=thesession.org/tunes/1181.no-ext/0001

(It's mentioned in this article - https://projects.handsupfortrad.scot/hall-of-fame/pipe-major-donald-macleod-mbe/ - and as is Duncan Johnstone, too, whom I think I've told you a bit about already, took a workshop with him in around 1982, and wrote a paper "Bagpiping in Scotland" on a tiny UNESCO ZIS stipendium).

Cheers, 

Scott

Hi Ma, 

Nice to talk earlier! 

Making ongoing recordings for "Honey in the Bag" Scottish small pipes' album, using the "Audacity" recording App (but last night had to reboot my whole computer at 11 since recording App didn't work, so didn't record). I was playing the hornpipes Zeto the Bubbleman, The Pumpkin's Fancy, and The Streaker, some of which are the great Gordon Duncan tunes, and at 64 bpm. Am aiming for 74bpm - 82 bpm (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/western-honey-bee-re-my-upcoming-honey.html) playing with 'great energy' in the tunes.  The Audacity recordings in general technically & initially sound like good quality to my ear - in a MP3 format, but I want to improve how I play. Kinda momentous re recording ... some fast tunes will involve further playing beforehand. I'll likely record with metronomes in earphones finally (at a studio in nearby Montclair https://www.wildplum.org ?). I may also record out on my porch, - in kilt, and without metronome earphones, later. Some further good steps in this process (but good too to have recorded the College of Piping's Green Tutor Vol. 1, and Blue Tutor Vol 3 tunes as tutorials, and for recording experience too). :) 

Am not sure about getting this to CD, I think .. and in the PIpers of Distinction series out of Scotland, if at all possible, beyond online via Bandcamp - https://scottmacleodhoneyinthebagscottishsmallpipesbagpiping.bandcamp.com/. And BANDCAMP is waiving some sort of fees on October 2nd, which I have to look into. (I learn from recording too!).

Some thoughts yesterday about Piobaireachd and beauty - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/09/monotropa-uniflora-piobaireachd.html - which are interesting to explore with Taylor. 

How is your day going, and what are you up to this weekend?

Love, Scott

HI Matthew, Carolina, Marissa, Larry and All, 

Thanks so much for videoconferencing yesterday regarding partnering with edX Online Campus a second time this week, Matthew, - and thanks for the helpful information yesterday, Carolina, and great to meet you too. 

What is, please, the MIT McGovern Brain Institute's edX research papers' website you mentioned you'd send me, Matthew?

Glad to see edX's 3rd mission is research, and World Univ & Sch seeks to develop this inter-lingually eventually especially since CC-4 MIT OCW is currently in 4 languages (https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/): 

edX's Mission:
- Increase access to high-quality education for everyone, everywhere
- Enhance teaching and learning on campus and online
- Advance teaching and learning through research
https://www.edx.org/about-us

Research is also one of about 12 main subject areas at World University - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Research (worlduniversityandschool.org), and it would be fascinating to focus this further in conjunction with the McGovern Brain Institute for example.

And what might be the next steps in WUaS partnering with edX Online Campus? And how further does such a partnership work from edX's perspective?

And Matthew, could you please share the 3 points you highlighted, particularly with Larry, and All, toward the close of our conversation on Monday - and regarding WUaS partnering with edX Online Campus further? 

Thanks so much, Matthew and Carolina, and looking forward to checking out the edX research papers in particular. 

Thank you, 

Scott

PS

WUaS is seeking to plan for our matriculating students in all ~200 countries, and for our wiki Universitians in all 7,117 known living languages (and indeed for all 7.5 billion people as wiki teachers and learners here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University) regarding upcoming coding questions.

Thank you, Matthew, Carolina, and Marissa!
