Available to participate in a Google My Business user study?

to vwhatley, Larry

Hi Vanessa (at Google),

Thanks for this invitation. I'm writing to communicate in the midst of this "Google My Business user study" with regards to CC-4 MIT OCW wiki World University and School's unique situation. WUaS has 2 wings, and is planning to be in all ~200 countries and in all 7111 known living languages. See our description in the participation application:

'MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School plans to offer online licensing / accrediting university and high school degrees in ~200 countries' official / main languages, and wiki schools in 7111 known living languages, and is a 501 c 3 nonprofit educational institution. The WUaS Corporation / Press is a parallel for-profit general stock company legal entity, an educational services company which also plans to be in 7,111 living languages and 200 countries' official languages.'

World Univ & Sch is also exploring facilitating a single cryptocurrency in some of these ~200 countries backed in some way by their central banks - and potentially distributed via Universal Basic Income experiments - perhaps, conceptually, via the 'Mine Pi' cryptocurrency idea. See, for example, - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/aquatic-plant-mine-pi-from-faqs-what-is.html (and accessible in the UBI label in my blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/UBI). The Pi cryptocurrency was created by a couple of Stanford Ph.D.s and I've emailed them already about some of this, but haven't heard back yet. I'm also a bit in communication with Alphabet Chairman John Hennessy and Director of AI Peter Norvig about some of this. (Am including Larry Viehland, chair of World Univ & Sch's 501 c 3, and acting chair of the WUaS Corporation, a for profit general stock company - the 2 legal entities that make up WUaS). And I'm also a little in communication with Stanford Professor Julia Bidadanure - https://philosophy.stanford.edu/news/juliana-bidadanures-stanford-lab-explores-experiments-universal-basic-income - about UBI questions. Looking forward to further communication with time - and how to best communicate further about all of this? Thank you.

All the Best, Scott

Hello, Ma!

Lesson with Finlay this morning from Scotland at 8am PT ... think it's the conversation idea-generator that interests me here ... may seek to consolidate my blog posts with related lesson ideas so I can run through a series of questions in a focused way in terms of "How does this work or how can I play this" :)

What's beauty in piping for Finlay?

New B flat chanter tuning on drones ?

Combo drone on A chanter with A-E-A chord, and which of the 15 tunes in CoP Blue Book work and which don't and why?

Etc ...

On with my book of poetry here from the Claremont Berkeley Public Library ... and also to see starting at about minute 25 Susan Gilbert Harvey's DVD which I'm enjoying a lot ...

Curious too if I can start teaching Yoga from home online, Angela and Victor inspired and re WUaS in Google too ... For example, see these recent Tweets newly with Google Maps:

Angela & Victor's Yoga Hall in Eftalou, Molyvos on the isle of Lesvos, in Greece, AND the current physical location of ONLINE

Hi Ma,

Good to connect with Finlay in lesson this morning. Glad Roddy MacLeod got back to me for about the 1st time with his NPC email address. Perhaps we'll connect further re piping at World University and School with time (and even re jobs).

How are you? Am curious how to build in ethics further with World Univ & Sch's developments, and re questions of process (given Harvard, Oxbridge, Yale, MIT's, Haverford's, Swarthmore's, Stanford's centuries' old experiences ... and beyond questions of law .... so into culture ... and re aspects of freedom re 'morality' or ethics or caring too ... in the information age, and possibly Scotland, USA and country by country-wise in many languages). More about questions about the 'perfect' idea, or related, later perhaps. Freedom is an interesting idea here ... in all of this. :) Hoping you have a great week, Ma!

Love, Scott

Finlay:
Thanks so much, Finlay, for our piping lesson 'conversation'! ... B flat chanter tuning, simplicity, beauty, lyrically, rhythm, 'riff canntaireachd' with light music (and metronome, recording, combination drone tuning). Appreciating the connection focus as well. All the best, Scott


Roddy, Finlay and Roddy MacLeod , rmacleod@thepipingcentre.co.uk Finlay MacDonald , info@thepipingcentre.co.uk, NPC Shop ... 

Will do, thanks, Roddy!

Good to be in communication. (Am curious to explore with time further thinking about World University and School's piping wiki subject pages).

I enjoyed the lesson with Finlay.

All the best, Scott

Hi Deirdre and All, 

Thanks again so much for your email, and your call from Harbin Hot Springs.

Brainstorming-wise, just Google searched on "bookmobile library converted to bookstore" ... and found these great creations: https://travelaway.me/quirky-mobile-libraries-and-bookstores/ ... Brainstorming-wise too, could Harbin bring in another ~$50,000 / year by creating one of these, and building on the bookstore in the Harbin office pre-2015, beginning when HCC got one of these working? 

And re ... 




Or a bookstore on wheels -






- then Harbin could start to earn money on the books it sells right now.

For example, my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book which lists at $64.95 would bring in $25.98 to Harbin for each copy sold. (The 60%/40% split for booksellers is standard, where retailers - like Harbin in this hypothetical case - would make 40% but where retailers also pay for shipping and handling and other related non-wholesaler/distributor/publisher costs which split the 60%). 

And my other two books of poetry - also Harbin-centric - could sell well in such a Harbin Bookstore on Wheels: 

Winding Road Rainbow: Harbin, Wandering & the Poetry of Loving Bliss
which lists for $9.99
(would bring in about $4.00 per copy sold to Harbin)

Haiku~ish: and Other, Loving, Hippy, Harbin Poetry 
which lists for $5.50
(would bring in about $2.20 per copy sold to Harbin)

And I'm planning to publish my 4th partly Harbin-inspired book this autumn as well, price not yet determined: 
"To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually!: How different it is to soak at Harbin, than to realize it in virtual reality"

(All these books are published in the NEW Academic Press at World University and School as well - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - planned with machine translation in all 7111 known living languages). 



I don't know of any school buses to turn into a bookstore presently, but it's a great creative, artistic and remunerative project that would build on Harbin's previous bookstore. And netting ~$50,000 per year would probably depend on what books Harbin sold in this, for one, as well as how big the 'Hippy Van bookstore' was, and what the Harbin waters did as well. Thanks again for your communications, Deirdre.

Hi Roland and Mary, Cindy & Byron, Alden and Marianne, (Jonathan & Ellen, Jim who have already RSVPed) and All,

Stanford, Harvard, Yale and MIT F/friends and family ... Roland and Mary, I'm writing to invite you all to a party on Saturday the 19th in the highlands of the East Bay hills - in Canyon 94516 - and you're welcome to bring a tag-along friend to the party too! (It's potluck again!) And we may explore various and sundry creativities as well. (More about creativity here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/creativity). Ridgecrest & Redwood Hwy, Canyon, CA 94516 seems to be a stable URL now in Google Maps / Street View - so it's good for directions, and the house is behind the U-shaped shed at this intersection.

See some of you here party-wise in Canyon 94516 on Saturday October 19th, say an hour before sunset? ... so say 5:50 pm or sometime thereafter!

Still exploring ways to hold this party virtually too - re ongoing Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital explorations ... :)

Online World Universities and Schools seek to become the Stanford, Harvard, Yale, MIT and Oxbridges of the internet - inspiring and in their excellence and knowledge-generation - and we may talk about this as well at the party on 10/19. And Nelson, re your initial email RSVP, great to see that Minzu University of China - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minzu_University_of_China - is in Beijing - and is ethnic-minorities' focused! Am curious how Beijing and China will emerge in a SINGLE #RealisticVirtualEarth - a #RealisticVirtualEarthForLanguages - and even for the Chinese space program -  (in which I think there's a woman from China; see too this - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1182036532707749888 - and other Tweets below) - which is fertile grounds for international cooperation in so many ways.

See some of you on 19.10.19!

With best regards, Scott
