 'Honey in the Bag' sessions CD envisioning in 2020 ... 
Thanks for the insights into how Alasdair works, Barbara, at Scottish Country Dancing.

Further insights into how he plays and thinks here with Natalie Haas ...

.. Pretty great ... and he's still a bit of a hippy to say the least. :)

I could see myself with Scottish small pipes in Natalie's place (here in Canyon 94516, both on porch and in front room, with good recording setup) with Alasdair playing these tunes - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/gobies-scott-macleods-honey-in-bag-cd.html?m=0 ...

Cromarty (& 'The Kelpie'): Thanks for joining the WUaS live Hangout on Air today - You'll find the text transcript below ... and the video here http://youtu.be/NOxwl55hz9c - (youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch), And here's the Cromarty dialect of Scots' language wiki subject page at WUaS * * * World University and School seeks to be in all 7,111 known living languages, and with machine translation / machine learning



Hi Fritz, (and Universitians, all),

Thanks for joining the WUaS live Hangout on Air today - 




You'll find the text transcript below ... and the video here: 


And here's the Cromarty dialect of Scots' language wiki subject page at WUaS - 
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Cromarty_dialect_of_Scots_language - which we may be able to bring alive again with avatar bots. (See, too - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromarty_dialect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Northern_Scots - https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic_Dialects).

World University and School seeks to be in all 7,111 known living languages, and with machine translation / machine learning.


Cheers, Scott

Great
Ideas, questions?
Fritz Lebowsky
10:15 AM
What are the currently most intriguing challenges in translating into 7,111+ languages?
Exciting, these ideas around interactive avatar bots! How best could one make use of authentic human intuitive (re-)actions?
That's a wonderful challenge - how to dynamically augment/reshape avatar bots interaction with additional perspectives - endless new insights will emerge!
Amazing, Scott! I am in touch with an ER expert who might be very interested in learning more about these virtual scenarios that include real experiences to improve overall performance (adapting to local situations).

Hi, Universitians, 

How are you? Here are the last two WUaS Live Hangouts on Air, 4/22 - https://youtu.be/sevQMMMIQkI , (youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch), and 4/29 - https://youtu.be/NOxwl55hz9c , and a blog post about this week's ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/04/cromarty-thanks-for-joining-wuas-live.html ...

Glad that Fritz (whom I know from Stanford) joined in today - see his text contributions in blog post. Come join the conversation. 

Per Ajit and Fritz, as our WUaS platform develops in Google Education and Wikidata / WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki, am seeking to make it easier and more engaging to "join" World Univ & Sch at You at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and for all 7.5 billion people on the planet as wiki teachers and learners ... to become a part of World Univ & Sch as well (re Google-centric, Wikipedia-centric platforms in their 100 and 300 languages :). 

World Univ & Sch Conversations in WUaS Live Hangouts on Air at 10 am Pacific Time on Mondays  ... (and I'm happy to hold these at different times if that would be convenient for you).

Cheers, Scott

2 the composition of something: the genetic constitution of a species.
• the forming or establishing of something: the constitution of a police authority.
3 a person's physical state with regard to vitality, health, and strength: pregnancy had weakened her constitution.
• a person's mental or psychological makeup.

Scottish Country Dancing in other places (and eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology)


Hi Patti, Bruce, David, Linda and All, 

My friend from Scottish Country Country Dancing during high school years in Pittsburgh in the '70s just came to visit in Canyon 94516 with her son, Tim. And Sioux :) just sent these photos from a recent Scottish Country Dance there - with the program. Gives me a flavor of what SCD is like in Pittsburgh PA (where I lived only from 1974-1979). Looks like 1 dance at a time, and either for a set of 3 or a set of 4. You guys are in the big leagues with your teaching! 






Here's this Monday's April 29, 2019 Berkeley Scottish Country Dance set list - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bESCDKqsjESsdmLl1bLNJRgMoYqoyfeHQxMcEhWsG4I/edit?usp=sharing - by way of comparison. 

Seems like there's some SCD growth potential in Pittsburgh in these regards. 

And how to teach SCD - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_Country_Dancing - explicitly for Loving Bliss Eliciting - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Loving_Bliss_(eliciting_this_neurophysiology) - as I've explored with some of you in passing before? I think smiling a lot a lot (because this just kind of bubbles up, as it might for teenagers:) throughout is a beginning.

:) Scott

As  I texted Susan: 
My goodness, you went Scottish Country Dancing in PGH after a hiatus, Sioux! So nice to see you and Tim out here recently, and thanks for your wonderful knitting crafts' gifties. Which 1745 dances did you dance? :)


Susan:
White Cockade was one of them. It was danced at Fort Pitt in 1759ish.


Scott:
:) says the wearer of a bonnet

Scott:
What will 1759 look like in the beginning in Google Streetview with time slider for history I wonder ? And with avatar bots for dancing too based on initial evidence then animated 3D-wise and interactive too? :)

Scott:
Am in the Free Speech Movement Cafe at UC Berkeley now reading signs about the student movement in 1964 ... in these regards :) (free degree movement at WorldUniversityandSchool ! :)

Dear Larry, 

It's funny that the BPPE licensing application will give WUaS a GREAT opportunity for WUaS to collaborate with the state of California, and in ways that will help World Univ & Sch a lot, after all these years ... yet it's a slog. Am posting item 12 below from - https://www.bppe.ca.gov/forms_pubs/approval_nonaccredited.pdf  - to show you what I mean.

Re World Univ & Sch and connecting "front end" with "back end" re WUaS donation for co-development to Wikidata, and then getting WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki, I searched on "Wikipedia's MediaWiki as "front end" Wikidata/Wikibase as "back end" how does this work?" and found a conversation from 2017 re this here - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2017/01 ... Perhaps WUaS will develop more specific uses of WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki as "front end" Wikidata/Wikibase as "back end" as we do the CA BPPE licensing application and WASC senior accreditation process.

Am interested further in differentiating Wikipedia in 300 languages as "front end" with "back end" from WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki re "front end" with our potential Wikidata "back end" re, for example - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School ...

I think I'll begin with just 6 undergraduate degree programs, per your catalog of some years ago, and then think in terms of 6 Ph.D. programs initially for planning purposes, but see what emerges and how extensible this will be re CC-4 MIT OCW's ~32 departments online. Thoughts, ideas, questions?

And thoughts about item 12 below? (While some of the BPPE application is tuition oriented, I think WUaS will write in response to these questions, something like "Since WUaS is CC-4 MIT OCW-centric, and seeks to get reimbursement from departments of education of many governments, these questions are not applicable - like question 12.2 below ...) Thoughts, questions, ideas?

The CA BPPE app is a writing opportunity to create and realized WUaS further!

Sincerely, Scott

for 7.5 billion wiki teachers and learners, in 7, 111 known living languages
(so, free, highest quality, MIT OCW-centric wiki universal education)

2
with 7.5 avatar bot electronic medical/health records for all the people on the planet (and re the estimated 4 billion people on planet who don't have physical addresses - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/12/earth-lithium-ion-battery-innovation.html) - re online WUaS medical schools with online teaching hospitals for online clinical care, and clinical research, but also
(so universal health care online)


3
facilitating a single crypto currency with block chain ledger (backed somehow by some number of ~200 nation states' central banks), and potentially distributed via a universal basic income experiments to all 7.5 people on the planet (and with echoes of Alexander Hamilton (and re - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/04/adrift-by-wind-sailor-velella-full.html) having started the US banking system, and the currency of the US, which is now an international currency
(so, eradicating poverty with an universal basic income)

... all in planning for filling out this BPPE form for Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees in English ...

Maritime archaeology: VIDEO of Rover Robot with Lego WeDo2 programming blocks here - https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1121866180577259520 - in action * * * Photo of Rover Robot NEWLY with SCRATCH 3.0 programming language here * * * seeking to connect with Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser (based in Nevada City / Berkeley) to explore recording my first Scottish small pipes bagpiping CD in 2020 "Honey in the Bag" as a duet > he's inspiring and interesting musically (and as a Scot as well)



Hi M, 

Methinks it would be fun, make for a potentially inspired CD, and I'd learn a lot if I could play with Alasdair Fraser on my CD. 

See the "Hi Patti, Barbara and Bruce ..." part of the email here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/04/mistletoe-how-best-to-invite-scots-in.html - which you may have already read. 

So seeking to connect with Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser (based in Nevada City / Berkeley) to explore recording my first Scottish small pipes bagpiping CD in 2020 "Honey in the Bag" as a duet > he's inspiring and interesting musically (and as a Scot as well). May head to one of their (the San Francisco Scottish Fiddlers') spring concerts this weekend in these regards, re here's Alasdair - 





I haven't given a talk at Stanford yet, and have given 4 I think at UC Berkeley since 2012 - http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html - and here's my most recent one from Nov 2018 - 

https://youtu.be/dN80Hm_db2I - with a focus on Harbin and robotics too. Would like to explore giving a talk at Stanford ... possibly in the Archaeology department ...  

How's your cold doing? :)

Hi M,

Thanks for your nice email, and hope you get your voice back soon. (I think you told me about AirBorne which seems to be an advance on strategies for the common cold - but only in certain bolstering immune system cold-situations, and I think I also get zinc/similar mineral in my daily multi-vitamin). And there seem to be relatively few colds around out west here, but I also don't circulate with kids very much these days, which could change if I have my own at some point:)

As I update the Easter Egg of my Apple MacBook computer by transferring data from a recent Apple Time Machine backup, it looks like I'm getting FileVault as the new OS 10.13 is installed. Probably a good thing, since FV is getting to be mature software. Have to make a lot of inferences about what's going on with software, since one can't be sure - seems like any information technology can be hacked by other information technology as information ... in this new world ... typing on my old MacBook Pro computer, even as my MacBook Air gets my files from before ... could take a couple of hours.  

Looking forward to learning Scratch 3.0 with my Lego WeDo2 robotics newly now. Have to think through investing in Lego Mindstorms EV3 eventually ... now that I'll be able to use Scratch 3.0 with it too. :)

Wikidata Libraries' Affinity Group ... and re Harvard / Stanford / Cornell and World University and School (in 7 k languages) ... 

Interesting Stanford networking recently ... with some further generative qualities ... 

Hoping you get your voice back soon, and get past your cold soon! :)

L, Scott

Good morning, ma mere!

How was your week? And are you heading out to amble with friends through spring Pittsburgh momentarily? :) 

Mac OS 10.13 went on successfully ... also now have Siri on my lap top to experiment with ... new back ups to Time Machine are already made ... soon to play with Lego WeDo2.0 robotics WITH Scratch 3.0 ... here's the idea - 

https://youtu.be/PS81XMj-gDo (and even with a new piece of robotics / hardware / circuit board for learning with Scratch called Micro:Bit, which I've tried but don't have yet, but may get too). 

Unitarian Universalist-oriented, and singing oriented as well, who knows ... great, too :)? As you may have been reading in emails, World Univ & Sch seeks to create online real real time virtual choirs (of many stripes) ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Virtual_Choir ... and Bruce Olstad choir director at the UUCPA could be a great musical director for this online ... and perhaps to connect with other UU churches in the SF Bay Area even (e.g. in Livermore :) so they could have the gift of music-making and singing as well. 


Life gets kind of diffuse in California, USA, post-modernity and the information age re family creation :) But Stanford (as well as traveling to Harbin) center things for me a bit ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/04/oasis.html :)

Description of getting Scratch 3.0 working with a robot ...


Well, - I connected newly the Scratch 3.0 software in a web browser tab wirelessly to the Lego WeDo2 a) SmartHub (containing batteries and a chip), and b) motor, then added three Scratch blocks to the coding area in tab - and I could run these a & b by clicking the 'green flag' button in Scratch from the web browser interface. I was working partly from 

https://youtu.be/2eNEbx4cO8o. It worked, briefly - cool. (But then didn't work ... hmmm ... ) 

So back to Lego WeDo2 and seeking to make a vehicle (per video above), I snapped together a Mars Rover from the helpful WeDo2 tutorial (which I had played through a few months ago:) ... added some WeDo2 programming coding 'BLOCKS' - and the little vehicle ran too from the WeDo2 code. Cool. VIDEO of Rover with WeDo2 blocks here 



Photo of Rover with SCRATCH 3.0 here - 



Then back to the Scratch programming interface BLOCKS, and clicked green flag and it worked - so I can run a & b from either interface. 

So 'on to' Mars, or to Harbin Hot Springs, or to underwater marine archaeology with Lego submarine robots ... virtually in imagination ... and with robotics for scientific exploration ... And with OS 10.13 and Scratch 3.0, I can also use the Translate extension with WeDo2 robotics - so can record voices and make the robots speak and converse, e.g. 

https://youtu.be/PS81XMj-gDo - again . Cool ...  

Cleared off a bigger play space on my table ... and all of this is not yet in a realistic virtual earth (thinking Google Street View with Brick Street View , where 'brick' refers to a Lego brick ... and now newly with Lego robotics, since Brick Street View didn't code for Lego Robotics) ... and I can eventually move on to A) Lego Mindstorms EV3 with Scratch 3.0 and B) Micro:Bit with Scratch 3.0 and C) even for flying Legos, Kitables .. . Mini Lego Drone Kit – Kitables.co - 

https://youtu.be/8lylgo9e-gg not necessarily with Scratch 3 language. 

Can now make robots with new programming language all thanks to OS 10.13 newly on my laptop computer. 

Have thought how it would be interesting to travel around to many countries re World Univ & Sch, and get the smallest little excellent robot in every country I visit ... have also thought it would be great to bring a new robot I made out of Lego to every talk / country ... 

L, Scott
