Dear Larry, Govind, Yuping, Jayni, Kyle, Tito, Juan, Julian, WUaS Board members, & All,

I'm glad to be going to talk with Lego Education's Alexandra Orellana-Vlachakis (https://twitter.com/vlachakisalex) in Chicago in about 2 hours. A Lego Education link looks promising for the potential WUaS Press Bookstore / Robotics' store. How much would WUaS get for each Lego Robotics' kit sold is one question I'll learn in talking with Alexandra potentially. - and regarding this emerging conversation: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/06/flowering-silversword-lego-education.html.


Partly in anticipation of talking with Alexandra at Lego Education, I've updated the WUaS Press with the following: The WUaS Corporation / WUaS Press is a for-profit general stock company legal entity in the state of California
(C4018051    04/21/2017    ACTIVE    WUAS CORPORATION    CALIFORNIA - https://businesssearch.sos.ca.gov/) - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html.

And I've updated World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - removing the MIT name in text throughout, and adding:
World University & School is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 Corporation legal entity in the U.S. and in the state of California
(C3289561 04/26/2010 ACTIVE WORLD UNIVERSITY AND SCHOOL CALIFORNIA - https://businesssearch.sos.ca.gov/) - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/.

Somehow last night I radically edited the Academic Press at WUaS / WUaS Corporation page - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - and removed some book titles too - https://web.archive.org/web/20191203212947/http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html . But I think the web page is better now if Lego Education is going to look at it before I talk with Lego's Alexandra Orellana-Vlachakis (https://twitter.com/vlachakisalex) today, for example, and also regarding:

Thnx Leanna @TOTALTeacher & Alex @vlachakisalex. Am wondering if we could, hypothetically, add your presentation to emergent #ActualVirtual #RealisticVirtualEarthforLego with #FilmTo3D App (in #GooglePoly for #LegoDUPLO & standard bricks)? & esp #RealisticVirtualEarthforRobotics ~

https://twitter.com/WUaSPress/status/1268958678444457984?s=20

For both wings, and WUaS pages, I think having added this language is beneficial: 

1
(C3289561 04/26/2010 ACTIVE WORLD UNIVERSITY AND SCHOOL CALIFORNIA - https://businesssearch.sos.ca.gov/) - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/.

2
(C4018051    04/21/2017    ACTIVE    WUAS CORPORATION    CALIFORNIA - https://businesssearch.sos.ca.gov/)
http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html.

...

Regarding best STEM CC-4 OCW licensing communications with MIT legal - 

I've also removed the 'MIT' name from many web sites, and from the following subjects from the current WUaS 'Subjects' ' list (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects) -
- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Massachusetts_Institute_of_Technology_-_MIT AND

- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/One_Laptop_per_Child_-_XO_Laptop_-_$100_Laptop_-_MIT

- but am not yet able to delete these 2 wiki subjects with the MIT name in them, since I haven't been able to log into WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki for years now as admin, and am not sure why. I may reach out to Lydia Pintscher and Romaine Wiki about this anew, since they were involved in the set up process. Miraheze MediaWiki (in relation to the Wikimedia Foundation) has not been functioning well for years. I may talk to them about what I think is an existent WUaS Template on their end (i.e. Wikidata and Lydia Pintscher, since the licensing language is already on the WUaS ~725 wiki pages in English) - 

Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/  - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/.


I haven't figured out what licensing to add to the WUaS Corp / WUaS Press page yet. CC-0 since it has a commercial attribute - or? - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html

So I think most of the MIT name removals are up-to-date to the extent that WUaS can do them. Thoughts, questions, ideas, suggestions?

Sincerely, Scott

LEGO Education store & World Univ & Sch / WUaS's Educational Services' Store


Alexandra and Benjamin, 

Thanks so much for talking with me today. The WUaS Educational Services' Store would add Lego links to the Lego Robotics' kits here http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html. These robotics' kits would include Mindstorms EV3, possibly Spike Prime (if schools could use this STEAM robotics virtually, eg in educational Minecraft, and Brick Street View with Google Street View, and even with a Film-to-3D app into Google Poly), and probably WeDo 2.0 - or esp. kits for these (i.e. Special WeDo2 Scratch BOXER - https://youtu.be/HjD1zAWToYU) - for even learning machine learning (re the 'adversariality' in these boxing, as well as football, examples - and in the MIT 1999 Lego Robotics' competition below), such as even combined with Google Research Football. 

You can see the beginnings of learning 'machine learning' with Lego robotics here (WeDo 2.0 and with a MIT 1999 competition) in this blog entry -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/flying-and-gliding-animals-this-is-next.html - and potentially with Google Research Football machine learning, brainstorming-wise.

Here's a related Tweet about this:

Thanks so much again for talking, Alex and Ben, and very nice to meet you. The WUaS Educational Services' Store also seeks to develop online potentially with TensorFlow AI, and on a Google related platform. Looking forward to the links for Lego robotics' 1) Mindstorms EV3, 2) possibly Spike Prime, and 3) WeDo 2.0 to begin. Thanks.

Best regards, Scott

Hi Ben and Alex, 

Thanks so much to you and Lego Education! I've added the following links to Lego Robotics' kits and resources here to the WUaS Educational Services' Store - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html (which is still a work in progress). 

Thank you!








It's quite amazing, too, that WUaS Educational Services' Store is able to carry Lego Robotics' kits - for which I thank you much!

Regarding recommending WUaS students learn Python programming language to work, play and learn with Lego Robotics' Mindstorms EV3, I'll check out further for WUaS students the following: 

Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-cmputer-science/6-0001-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-in-python-fall-2016/

Introduction to Python: Absolute Beginner
https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-to-python-absolute-beginner-2

I hope WUaS can develop further a  relationship with Lego Education as a significant reseller with time. Looking forward to further communication about all of these momentous developments for World Univ & Sch! :)! 😊

Thank you!
Scott

Dear Larry,

WUaS can now start putting some value 'on the books' regarding the products we carry in the WUaS Educational Services' Store.

Mindstorms EV3 Lego Robotics costs about $440.00.

The "Haiku~ish" book costs about $5.50.

And while the WUaS Corporation has made a tiny amount of money off some of the books in the Academic Press at WUaS, WUaS is not yet a reseller of Lego Education products, so WUaS won't make any money yet from these. Happy to list them on our web site nevertheless. 

Listing Lego Education Robotics is a ginormous step for WUaS. :)

Sincerely, Scott

Stanford Law SVDX

Scott MacLeod sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org

8:12 AM (17 minutes ago)
to Larry, Govind, Kyle, tito, Juan, Jayni, Yuping-CASPA, Nancy
Nancy,
Thanks so much for adding this question to the list for today's webinar - https://www.svdx.org/calendar/2020/6/9/esg-resiliency-in-a-time-of-turmoil-webinar: 



"Brainstorming-wise, what role could UBI experiments in all ~200 countries and their main languages, in order to distribute a single cryptocurrency (with block chain ledger), facilitate further ESG goals, (and even conceptually regarding all 7.5 billion people, re universal, to alleviate poverty)? What if a hypothetical "Mine Pi" (coded by Stanford students), or a "Bitcoin" could even be listed, by a company with its Board, on the emerging Silicon Valley long term stock exchange (which has passed one SEC hurdle, I've read) - and, for example, to address the 40 million unemployment claims in the US due to the novel coronavirus pandemic? Thank you, Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)"


... and, for further question context for panelists, such a single cryptocurrency would be backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks (post Euro in 19 out of 28 nation states, and post dollar as de facto international currency)? This could be because WUaS Law Schools in all ~200 countries' official languages code for this, and our WUaS Law Faculty teach this too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School. 
Sincerely, 
Scott

Dear Larry, Govind, Yuping, Jayni, Kyle, Tito, Juan, Julian, WUaS Board members, & All, 

One of the panelists today - "Kellie Huennekens is Head of ESG Research at Nasdaq" - is from Nasdaq - https://www.svdx.org/calendar/2020/6/9/esg-resiliency-in-a-time-of-turmoil-webinar .  Brainstorming-wise further, could the NASDAQ stock exchange fund, or invest in, the emerging Silicon Valley long term stock exchange, which has passed one SEC hurdle? And could the WUaS Corporation list itself on this emergent stock exchange, 'under the wing of Alphabet/Google'?  Stay tuned (and these SVDX presentations are open I think; I met Yuping in a Stanford Law SVDX meeting, for example).

ESG is an acronym for 'environmental, social, and governance' and refers to socially responsible investing (for which there's 1 + wiki subject at WUaS as well - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Investing_-_Socially_Responsible and relating to https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Index_Investing and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Peace_and_Social_Justice_Studies and other f/Friendly concerns).

Sincerely, Scott

 Yoga ~ 


Ma, Ann, 

How are you both today? Found myself inspired to do further Yoga explorations this morning re chest opening re breathing, beyond morning sitting in half Lotus or Ardha Padmasana - I appreciate the connotations of the Sanskrit names - and bending forward into Yoga Mudrasana on both sides, for infusing in nice ways of a different releasing neurophysiology through the bodymind  And I just now learned a new name for Yoga Mudrasana - Psychic Union Pose - 

https://youtu.be/acXLkig4gYo ... how interesting! :) Then I did a form of Child's pose on knees sweeping back from hands-growing-roots-down like a parachute (Victor's drawing from a Victor van Kooten book) and not Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward facing dog per se, at first), and then chest opener Viparita Karani on block (like shoulder stand, but pelvis supported ... ) ...

Yoga is a learning process - about inner releasing action neurophysiology of the self in a way - and a quite different learning about the mind or self than in Lacanian MD psychoanalysis for example. Yet both involve learning about the self, as well as well-being-wise or therapeutically potentially. 

Was inspired to do Yoga regarding the 'energy' this morning in Canyon as well perhaps ... doing Yoga can change things inside oneself in interesting and attuning ways neurophysiologically ... For example, if irritation, (or anger even), is arising inside, examining oneself and exploring restorative Yoga poses can change this consciousness, through an attuning process, in my explorations.

What's consciousness for you? :) I hope this finds you well.

Exciting developments at WUaS, and phone call with Lego Education tomorrow in Chicago re Lego  Robotics' kits for students this autumn.

Love, Scott
