Hi Sandy,
The printer company said my book of poetry just arrived yesterday at Tate Street in Portland at your place. Happy New Year, and Xmas, and I hope you enjoy. Did ...
"To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs than to realize it in virtual Reality"
... arrive?
Check out the poem on p 118, which is partly about western philosophical ideas about consciousness, as well as Harbin!
I haven't yet thought through what my favorite poems are in "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! ... " like I did with my last year's book
"Winding Road Rainbow: Harbin, Wandering & the Poetry of Loving Bliss"
... which I gave you last year ... and which 3 are still ...
Winding Road … and something like poetry came to me / 12
In the night I traveled north to Harbin / 17
The Poetry Commune at Berkeley / 93
Glad to write that "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! ... " is the 4th book published in the Academic Press at World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - (which press is not yet developed with machine translation).
This book is part of a project to create a realistic virtual Harbin and realistic virtual earth, and I had hoped virtual Harbin - in this book - would be accessible in Google Street View with time slider by the time of publication, but not yet! :)
How is your New Year going? Ad how are you?
Love, Scott

Hi Sandy,
I'm writing to wish you a very happy new year, and I just put a present in the mail for you of my new book, "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! How different it is to Soak at Harbin Hot Springs than to realize it in virtual Reality" ! Enjoy - and as you'll read below, it's not yet possible to visit in VR.Happy New Year and Season's Greetings! My holiday letter is below. Hope to see you sooner than later (and please say thanks to Kate for the Chaga mushroom powdered tea, and the Julte tea! And the stollen and honey look wonderful too which Ma is keeping). Very nice as well to talk with you on Christmas.Love, ScottDear friends,Happy New Year 2020! And Merry Christmas ... A Desiderata poem focus in 2020: https://mwkworks.com/desiderata.html (https:// scott-macleod.blogspot.com/ 2019/12/antarctica-mcmurdo- bay-merry-christmas.html)? Global university work continues daily - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ global%20university - with regards to wiki MIT OCW-centric World University and School. And it looks like we'll collaborate with Harvard and MIT's edX in 2020 for WUaS's 2nd class for free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric WUaS Bachelor degrees. And glad to write I just published my 4th book "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! How different it is to Soak at Harbin Hot Springs than to realize it in virtual Reality" (http:// worlduniversityandschool.org/ AcademicPress.html ~ http:// amazon.com/author/ scottmacleodworlduniversity) - and which I had hoped would be in Google Street View, with time slider, by the time of publication, but potentially at some point! My actual-virtual, physical-digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnography and poetry project continues, and am hoping to write and publish a 2nd actual-virtual Harbin ethnography FROM Google Street View with time slider in the next year or two! Will create my first Scottish small pipes' album this year, as well as publish my next book of poetry in 2020 too! Still seeking a life-partner with whom to begin a family. Happy New Year, and looking forward very much to seeing you in 2020! Here’s a poem from my new book with same name as title of book - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/ chameleon-vision-poem-to- dance-or-pools.html?m=0 ! Is 2020 the year of the robot (or the 2020s) - and at World University and School too? And will the 2020s be the decade for Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital innovations, and Robot-Avatar Bot innovations too? And will we all have 'Avatar Bots' like email addresses (e.g. see the avatars in "Aphilo Scott MacLeod The Making of Virtual Harbin Introduction" - https://youtu.be/3nhvcHw54GE) that correspond to physical robots even - and conceptually with robots that we can first make in Lego Robotics' WeDo 2.0, Mindstorms EV3, and Lego Spike Prime Robotics, and then in Google Street View with time slider / with Brick Street View for robotics design? I'd chance to make these predictions. World University and School is also 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 crypto-currency 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" crypto-currency (as a mineable single crypto-currency), 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 for aggregating DNA samples too (see item 2 again) ... and for innovative genealogical research.In what ways could WUaS plan in Wikdata 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)?
See, too these 'longevity' blog posts here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ longevity - with interesting prospects for extending life or reversing aging, beyond 122 years of age with genetic therapies. It’s been another generative year for ideas in terms of daily blog posts - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com - as well. Happy New Year and best wishes to all of you and your loved ones in this holiday season!Sincerely,ScottWorld University and School Founder and President~ https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/ wiki/Nation_States (with open wiki schools in all 7,011 living languages planned) ~ sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org
