Poland World University and School (continued) with simulation - realistic virtual earth for robotics / Lego

Sat., August 22, 2020


Dear Mariusz, Dear Andrezj, (& Larry)

Good to be in communication with you. World Univ & Sch is waiting for the next steps regarding edX or Open edX (re CC-4 MIT OCW into MITx - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mitx-related-courseware/) and for one of our matriculating students in India on September 1, 2020 - and how WUaS or edX could provide a letter to prospective employers that this student was matriculated officially at WUaS / edX and similar. I've emailed edX CEO Anant Agarwal about this, and haven't heard back yet. Such WUaS edX / Open edX / MITx courses for Poles who speak English - and letters for prospective employers too - beginning around January 1, 2021 would be important in our communications too. What are your thoughts? And what are your thoughts about helping WUaS find 50-500 Polish students who speak English to matriculate for free-to-students' Bachelors' degrees on January 1, 2021 too?

Questions would be most welcome about abbreviations and other specifics. (If you'd like to meet again in a video conference for clarifications, please let me know).

To try to respond to each of your sentences: 

"There are at least three universities, of different scientific foci and specializations." 

> In planning for Poland World University and School - and regarding career generation too - I could see graduate students at these 3 universities as being potential excellent translators of MIT OCW courses into Polish, and in facilitating online seminars (teaching 'sections' in the American system - and in order to gain experience in becoming professors and faculty).

"The most convenient or best cooperation model we can apply is the T-Shape, Andrzej Ruciński`s service science most preferred method. Because of his heritage and expertise, he could be a master guru of that Idea helping the polish universities by proper implementation and taking maximum advantage of the cooperation with You"

> Andrzej, it would be great to communicate further about this. Bringing ISSIP and service science T-Shape approaches to bear to some of these questions regarding collaborating with Polish universities could be great. Please advise.


"I am working now on organization and establishing a simulator for remote users from Poland and different countries. The leading Idea of that simulator is providing access to people/ organizations/ companies willing to assess the leadership qualities. In my opinion we could take into consideration the usage of this simulator idea in the CC 4 MIT OCW framework as a more advanced stage.  It would be a practical approach to the "T-shape" method."

> I'm likely going to give a UC Berkeley Anthropology talk this autumn on a single realistic virtual earth for everything (including tourism studies and tourism; see bottom here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/08/rosa-californica-california-frontier.html - and below), - and regarding building out of Google Street View with TIME SLIDER, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow AI, Translate, with Samsung Neons aka 'artificial humans' and group build-able with avatars like Second Life, but realistic, and into Google Poly (a library of virtual objects) - all very Google platform-centric. Mariusz, this would also include a single realistic virtual earth for these academic fields here - worlduniversityandschool.org - so I'm wondering what areas or aspects in these contexts for simulators you'd see as helpful in building out. I'm wondering, for example, in particular, whether a #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics simulation https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics?src=hashtag_click and regarding a #RealisticVirtualEarthForLegos simulation - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLegos?src=hashtag_click and even for AI machine learning or Reinforcement Learning - https://twitter.com/WUaSPress/status/1273316053976678401?s=20 - regarding Google Research Football could be helpful for Polish students at WUaS first in English and then in Polish?

"A) The next point of our discussion could be, taking advantage of MIT OCW and so broad access to the students globally, B) and turning the contacts into the business projects in cooperation with the local entities/ academic technology transfer offices/ VC and so on."

A) 
This is one approach CC-4 MIT OCW into MITx - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mitx-related-courseware/ - but would probably for WUaS have to happen after WUaS heard back about WUaS edX letters for prospective employers from edX CEO Anant Agarwal or when WUaS builds out again for January in Open edX via MOOCit France as course service provider. And for this WUaS is seeking 6 MIT or similar graduate students to adapt MIT OCW into courses on Open edX in our WUaS 6 majors for free-to-students' Bachelor degrees. (edX isn't easy to work with, I've found so far, but am hoping collaborations grow, as WUaS offers licensing and accrediting free to students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric Bachelor degrees). World Univ & Sch is seeking to develop as its own legal entity in Poland. 

B)
Where WUaS is heading with business projects is first with our WUaS Educational Services' Store - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - and in Poland (English, Polish) too for students' books, robotics' stores, computer stores (and perhaps even eventually list this Polish WUaS Educational Services' Store on the Polish stock market). VC will be important here, and as WUaS develops our technological innovations, we'll probably parallel the MIT TEchnology Licensing office http://tlo.mit.edu - but under WUaS auspices (for which we'll hire career positions). The WUaS Press / WUaS Corp is similarly seeking to develop as its own legal entity in Poland. But collaborations in the beginning may be important and invaluable too!

"I am not sure because of so many abbreviations in Your text that I fully comprehend Your meaning.
Am I allowed to ask You some particular questions in order to better understand your proposal?""

> Again - Questions would be most welcome about abbreviations and other specifics. (If you'd like to meet again in a video conference for clarifications, please let me know too).

World Univ & Sch is seeking Polish students for January 2021 first in English. Very nice to be in communication!

Hi Nelson, Dean, All,

I hope you're well. Am exploring the idea of making a TSWG presentation this autumn 2020 about creating a realistic virtual earth for tourism and tourism studies, with actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualHarbin?src=hashtag_click - as a case study, and in the context of WUaS facilitating developing one realistic virtual earth for everything and with a film-to-3D App (for mass tourism?) into Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow with Samsung Neons aka artificial humans (and for 'tourism robotics' too) and via ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy, and why this isn't yet begun. #RealisticVirtualEarth #hashtag ... https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth?src=hashtag_click ... whereas the https://twitter.com/search?q=%23RealisticVirtualUniverse&src=typed_query has more of a traveling component inherent already with space travel for example (than realistic virtual earth for oceans, for ex.)

I recently updated MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch's home page - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - with many realistic virtual earth #hashtags. See, too the Cal Anthro libraries' map of field sites here -

Dear Mariusz, Andrzej, and Larry, 

Some further thoughts:
Re simulations: 
WUaS's initial single realistic virtual earth simulation will probably build out of Google Research Football for machine learning / reinforcement learning for students ... and even with a film-to-3D App - https://twitter.com/hashtag/FilmTo3D?src=hashtag_click ... for much video realism ... 

So idea-wise, it would be something like

Re a great thinking about multi-dimensional simulations of a realistic virtual earth, see Peter Norvig here - 

Peter Norvig: We Are Seduced by Our Low-Dimensional Metaphors | AI Podcast Clips -

https://youtu.be/y0c1yrPDLN8

You can find the above machine learning and robotics' examples all together in this blog post


And the WUaS Educational Service Store's official carrying of Lego Robotics is only for purchase by US students - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html . WUaS students in other countries, for the time being, must find a Lego Robotics' distributor in their own country - https://education.lego.com/en-us/shop/find-distributor . And here's the only one in Poland - https://akcesedukacja.pl

And here's the MIT OCW course on
Lego Robotics 


Best regards, Scott

Dear Scott, Dear Andrzej,

Thank You very much for Your time we spent together at telco.
Understanding and appreciating the potential and the unique opportunity I made a few phone calls.
There are at least three universities, of different scientific foci and specializations.
The most convenient or best cooperation model we can apply is the T-Shape, Andrzej Ruciński`s service science most preferred method. Because of his heritage and expertise, he could be a master guru of that Idea helping the polish universities by proper implementation and taking maximum advantage of the cooperation with You.

I am working now on organization and establishing a simulator for remote users from Poland and different countries. The leading Idea of that simulator is providing access to people/ organizations/ companies willing to assess the leadership qualities. In my opinion we could take into consideration the usage of this simulator idea in the CC 4 MIT OCW framework as a more advanced stage.  It would be a practical approach to the "T-shape" method.

The nex point of our discussion could be, taking advantage of MIT OCW and so broad access to the students globally and turning the contacts into the business projects in cooperation with the local entities/ academic technology transfer offices/ VC and so on.

I am not sure because of so many abbreviations in Your text that I fully comprehend Your meaning.
Am I allowed to ask You some particular questions in order to better understand your proposal?

Best regards
Mariusz




Jestem do Twojej dyspozycji

Dear Mariusz, Andrzej, and All,

Glad we were all able to video-conference for an hour or so, and about Poland World University and School. Very nice to see you again, Andrzej! I'm writing regarding partnering and World University and School.

Regarding further information about World Univ & Sch: as a WIKI, World Univ & Sch welcomes wiki-additions and edits from individuals in all languages that are excellent, free and open (ie someone can teach to their web camera / youtube about something they love, and add this to an existing wiki page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - or begin a new wiki page). People can aggregate new open online courses too of course. And for example, as WUaS's Engineering wiki subject page, with its MIT OCW - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Engineering - develops in Polish, how will Poles engage, teach to and learn from this emerging open school (there are currently about 735 wiki pages at WUaS)? 

And since, on the free-to-students' degree side, WUaS is CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric, where MIT OCW's CC-4 licensing allows CC-4 World Univ & Sch to 1) share, 2) adapt, but 3) non-commercially MIT OCW resources (in its current, 4 languages), and this is how WUaS is 'working' with MIT OCW, you as an individual, Mariusz, could partner with CC-4 World Univ & Sch by WUaS adding your name here in the 'Partners' section" - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation - regarding your question of partnering. The CC-4 MIT OCW non-commercial attribute is what makes WUaS have to be free-to-students, and thus seek reimbursement on our free university degrees side. World Univ & Sch is seeking, newly, to offer our WUaS licensing and accrediting degrees via the edX platform (by adapting CC-4 MIT OCW), first in English. If you know of any Polish students who speak English, Mariusz or Andrzej, who might be interested in a free-to-students' Bachelor's degree beginning September 1, 2020, please let me know. 

WUaS seeks to develop major online universities in all ~200 countries' official, and main, languages offering free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric degrees (because of the CC-4 non-commercial attribute), and in Poland especially at Poland World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Poland - and with time in the Polish language - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Polish_language - (in Polish! - a major online MIT OCW-centric university) in addition to English +. If you would like to attend the open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on the 3rd Saturdays of the month at 9am Pacific Time (California), you'd get a sense of what our next steps are.

So as a preliminary document regarding: 

1. education partners
2. official support from the government side
3. financial sources

1. 
See above regarding WUaS-partnering at the present time.

2.
Governments, both at the nation state, or federal, and county levels in Poland, would be involved through their departments of education and similar, as well as potentially with WUaS reaching out directly to Polish high schools and high school counselors in Poland themselves (paralleling Poland's University application process for university-bound students). WUaS also seeks the highest achieving Polish students, the 'Olympic academic athletes' of Poland, for example, who may have been at the top of their classes in high school. So WUaS seeks Polish students who would otherwise apply to MIT / Harvard / Stanford and get accepted, for example, but WUaS also seeks to be accessible to all Polish students who might as individuals seek an excellent University education, now online. The degrees World University and School plans to offer Polish students, first in English and then in Polish, are Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D. (and eventually I.B. high school or similar), - all online, and in WUaS seeking to become the online MIT / Harvard / Stanford of the internet not only in Poland (but in all ~200 countries). 

3.
World Univ & Sch seeks per student per year reimbursement from nation states' governments, contingent on GDP, eventually at what tuition costs at MIT itself (currently about $55,000 per year per student). Students would be studying from their homes, and be responsible for the costs of their own books, robotics kits and other home electronics's supplies, and similar. 

The idea for Polish partners behind the cooperation is that Poland would get MIT-centric degrees for free, with all the innovative potential of MIT's STEM knowledge generation potential, career-wise especially for graduates. So Polish partners would give reimbursement to WUaS per student per year, and Poland would get MIT-centric degrees by Poles. WUaS seeks to create 2.2 million careers as well, in all ~200 countries (so to become about the size of Walmart), and so Poland World University and School in Polish will create an enormous number of Polish academic faculty and staff positions - 10s of 1000s potentially, which is what Polish partners would also get.  

As we spoke about too, World University has two wings, 1) the non-profit C-4 MIT OCW-centric World University and School, and 2) the for-profit general stock company the WUaS Press / WUaS Corporation. In this 2nd wing, WUaS seeks to create an Academic Press at WUaS with WUaS Educational Services' stores - both on the ground and virtually, and these bookstores / computer stores / robotics' stores / hospital technologies' distribution centers, would eventually become 'big boxes' regarding the creation of careers in Poland, and WUaS Corporation would also seek potentially to list on the Polish stock exchange with time - https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/warsaw_stock_exchange.asp - if this were viable. (Here are the WUaS 15 planned revenue streams - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/15-planned-wuas-revenue-streams-both.html - on both wings). 

Here are the 2 WUaS wings (with related WUaS licensing in the US at bottom): 


So in terms of under what conditions? WUaS would seek to create all of the above under legal conditions, and potentially with time from the Poland Law School at World University and School and see related beginning WUaS law schools here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School#World_University_and_School_Links - in Polish with Polish law faculty (regarding the careers WUaS seeks to generate via Poland World Univ & Sch).

So as a preliminary document regarding becoming "1. education partners, 2. official support from the government side, and 3. financial sources," please let me know your thoughts, questions, suggestions as we codify this further in writing. Thank you. 

Best regards, Scott
PS
Some practical first steps we could take further, in developing Poland WUaS in Polish would be to translate this - https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool
in to Polish (like this per Sri Lanka WUaS in the Sinhala language - https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/srilanka) and for Polish students who speak English to matriculate online at WUaS around January 1, 2020 via edX (re CC-4 MIT OCW into MITx - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mitx-related-courseware/) in English potentially. 

Poland World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Poland - 

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States (planned in ~200 countries each a major online MIT OCW-centric university in countries' official / main languages - and offering online Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. high school degrees from home).

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages (planned in 7,117 known living languages, each a wiki school for open teaching and learning)

Dear Scott and Andrzej,

I feel sorry that the connection got interrupted at a very crucial moment of our discussion.
The connection was broken I asked You Scott to prepare for me a document, a kind of offer what I could take with and check for You the proper:
1. education partners
2. oficial support from the government side
3. financial sources.

To Your questions, very interesting proposal to clear are only the conditions for such cooperation, with regard to my previous request.

Look forward to the documents they help me to explain in a easy form to the Polish partners the IDEA behind the cooperation. What have they to give, what would they get, under what conditions.
It would help me to precede it further.
Thank you for our open and cooperation oriented discussion.

Best regards

Dear Mariusz and Andrzej, 

Very nice to talk with you both for this hour about partnering and with regard to Polish students who speak English at first. I'm including the chair of the World Univ & Sch board, Larry Viehland, (who is also a MIT alum '69, and a professor emeritus of physics).

My question, initially, after our meeting:
In what ways could CC-4 MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch best matriculate 50-500 Polish Bachelor's degree students in English in a 4 year program, beginning January 1, 2021, (and even for some beginning September 1, 2020, if you know of any students) - worlduniversityandschool.org? (Please ask interested students to enroll by sending me an email). In the process, if you both organized this, and could also organize reimbursement too, potentially via an Open edX money transfer mechanism, I think you both would benefit. Thank you for meeting!   

Regards,
Scott

Dear Scott, Dear Andrzej,

Thank You so much for Your quick response. I feel obliged to respond in a similar way.
Proposing You 5 pm I had in mind Central European Sommer Time CEST.
When You are in San Fracisco Area we should change the TelCo time to the more civilised relation.
5 pm CEST is Bay Area early 8 o`clock, I wan`t do it to You, would be unfair.
What about 11.00 pm Your Time? It would be ( my time) 8.00 pm CEST .
Additionally 12.00  am, 13.00 pm  your Pacific Time would also be Ok. for me.
Communication Channel.
When You give me a choice, let us talk on Google meet.
When I had a second choice, I would prefer for the first time meeting You with prof. Rucinski. I am facing a long term cooperation looking for common interests.
Would You mind for the first time meeting You, prof. Rucinski and me?
I think it is great having polish contacts with Your valuable recommendation, and we will get in touch with them for shore, after we ( You and me) have a clear picture, what we want and what we are able to do together?
By establishing a healthy and trustful relation we need to talk openly, with many people it is not possible.
It is nothing against the people, it is related to my desire to be open and honest with you.
With the people I can meet here in Warsaw and clear with them, what are our common interests and how can we cooperate. The second step could be a common conversation with you. What do You think?

Should it be awkward for You to limitate the number of participants, I can understand and welcome all,
but I'm afraid about the results.

As a former diplomat, I think I have a good feeling how to precede the things successfully.

Best
Mariusz
P.S. I like Your Agenda, thanks for sharing it with me.

Dear Mariusz and Andrzej, (Dorota and Andrzej O),

Thanks so much for your email, and your invitation to videoconference tomorrow at 5 pm Eastern Time (US), and 2 pm Pacific Time (SF Bay Area). That time works for me (and I could invite you either from 8x8 video conference software, which would record to World University and School's Youtube channel - - or from Google Meet, which does not).

Besides your great introduction, and agenda, I would be interested in talking about: 

A) WUaS seeking Polish undergraduate students in English from September 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021 for free-to-students' online MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degrees in a 4 year program (https://ocw.mit.edu/ probably on the edX platform).

B) CC-4 MIT OCW-centric Poland World University and School planned in Polish for free-to-students' online Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD and I.B. high school degrees online (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Poland).

C) a single realistic virtual earth for everything - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth?src=hashtag_click - and for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) too - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click - and as classrooms (think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER, Maps, Earth, )

Please let me know what video conferencing software you'd like to meet in, Andrezej (Rucinski) and Mariusz, if this time works out for all of us. (I'm including 2 Polish friends of mine here, where Dorota lives in the SF Bay Area, and Andrzej Olszak lives in Warsaw and works, I think, in City Hall, or similar! :)

How best to create a major online MIT OCW-centric Poland World University and School in Polish?

Dear Scott, Dear Andrzej,

It was my greatest pleasure and privilege being introduced by prof. Andrzej Ruciński to You.
Dear Andrzej, thank You so much my Dear Friend for supporting my efforts to build the most effective network to conduct the best Ideas to strengthen our USA - Polish relations.
Thank You for the contact with prof. Scott McLoad.
Please allow me to say a few words about me, to get You a small picture about my humble person, that You are informed, what is my background/ scope of experience and finally, what am I working. Is that ok?

Education:
Humanist; German language, postgraduate studies: 1.management 2. lobbying.
Had been cooperating for 11 years with the Henry Kissinger Strategic Management Office in Berlin. ( German was my working language).
Supported establishing relations between Poland and Silicon Valley.
Deputy Ambassador at the Polish Embassy in Switzerland. The president of Switzerland and Minister for Economy have officially confirmed my role by declaring Poland the innovation Partner of Switzerland.collaboration
Supported the leading polish military optoelectronics company by entering the new civil area - my choice was the space sector and NASA.
My efforts resulted in  providing NASA with technology lowering the deep space mission budget at about 1 bln of USD. Polish University is building now with cooperation with NASA some top atom based micro electronics instruments.
I can assure You there are in Poland only a few areas where I can say I don`t have completely no access.
Mostly I am involved in different ideas and look for partners to enhance and accelerate relevat initiatives.

Now I am a deputy rector of one of the polish private Universities and try to give them an additional value of technologies to the languages based University.

I have access to the top diplomats of world level with excellent relations with the countries in South America,
Brasil, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Chile etc. and Central Africa . We can see this as resources available for any common action.
What can we use the resources for could be a subject of our discussion with prof. Rucinski, You and me.

You proposed a TelCo to talk a bit further. I find it an excellent idea and stay at Your disposal from 17.00 tomorrow    ( Monday)  EST.
Proposed Agenda:
1. Introduction, stay for Q and A to my bio above and in general
2. Training, post graduate studies we can offer to the international clients/ students/ government members in the area of:
- cybersecurity together with polish governmental Communications Institute and security studies.
- A University of Angola is looking for a good partnership with European University and would be fine if in partnership with the University in America.
3. My University is going to prepare courses/ training for nurses/ people caring for disabled and/ or older people.
4. look for a partner to establish a virtual university and simulator device for leadership and professional medical/ nurses   training. Our goal is to establish full equipped symulator for professional, educational purposes enabling conducting trainings for occupations/ specializations for the future offered world wide with international partners.

What of that is of interest for You, maybe any proposals from Your side?

Hope that You will find at least one topic convincing You to share Your time with us tomorrow?

Best regards
Mariusz




Dear Andrzej, and Mariusz, 

It's very nice to hear from you, Andrzej, and thank you for your email. And greetings, Mariusz! I just attended an ISSIP meeting last week, and blogged about this here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/08/malabar-parakeet-bishopton-scotland-dog.html.

I also blogged, Andrezej, about our talks in 2014 here, with video - 

And I just found this video, Mariusz, but unfortunately I don't speak Polish (although World Univ & Sch seeks to develop a great Universal Translator) -
[TG#01] Fireside Talk: Grzegorz Zwoliński & Mariusz Sawiński o rynku nanosatelit [PL]
https://youtu.be/s0np54KemEU

And here's MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School WUaS News Livestream Q & A from today - 
World Univ & Sch News and Q & A 8/10/20 1) Seeking matriculating undergrads for 9/1/2020 MBM Minutes
https://youtu.be/qbggnTOjlQA
(I'm the founder and head of WUaS).

Mariusz, would you (or both of you) like to meet in this to talk a bit further (or in some other way)? And what "very ambitious"  "different aspect of global education" are you working on? We could meet next Monday or soon thereafter. 

And here are the beginnings of Poland World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Poland - planned in the Polish language (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages) for free-to-students', online, MIT OCW-centric Bachelor, Ph.D.s, Law, MD and IB high school degrees. This autumn, potentially, WUaS is seeking undergraduate students to matriculate at MIT OCW-centric WUaS for free-to-students' Bachelor degrees first in English, if you know of any Poles who might be interested. 

Looking forward to communicating further about this. 

Warmest regards, Scott

PS
Here are the Minutes, FYI, from last month's open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting (loosely in the manner of Quakers)

Scott,

I am a retired professor from the University of New Hampshire working for many years on global education with institutions such as ISSIP, Erasmus, Fulbright, and WEEF. I do believe we have talked to each other a couple of years ago. I am including my short VC for your perusal.

I would like to introduce Mr. Mariusz Sawinski, VicePresident of the Warsaw Linguistic University in Warsaw, Poland. The school is very ambitious working on different aspect of global education. I believe that this connection maybe in a mutual interest.

I hope you may start a direct dialog and if desired I would be more than happy to use my expertise and experience to make this new connection fruitful.

My warmest regards,

Andrzej Rucinski, Professor Emeritus

Minutes for Sat July 18, 2020
World University and School 
Monthly Business Meeting


1
Via Open edX service partner MOOC-it France, World Univ & Sch has started its very first course - "WUAS 002 Circuits and Electronics Introduction" - on the emergent WUaS Open edX platform - 

WUAS 002 Circuits and Electronics Introduction

- which you probably can't access above, but you can see further beginnings here:  https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/08/lotus-corniculatus-glad-to-announce-new.html (and about WUaS's 6 majors). "WUAS 002 Circuits and Electronics Introduction" is emerging also from https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-002-circuits-and-electronics-spring-2007/ .  


2
World Univ & Sch seeks to matriculate 50 undergraduate students beginning 9/1/20 via the emergent WUaS Open edX platform & is like Wikipedia in ~300 languages, with the best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare (OCW) in current 4 languages - http://worlduniversityandschool.org ~ with these 6 majors - 1) EECS, 2) General Science, 3) General Engineering, 4) English, 5) History, 6) Business - for free-to-students' best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric Bachelor degrees.


More about the developing emergent WUaS Open edX platform via MOOCit France here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/08/southern-right-whale-wuas-news-1-1st.html ... 

Like with Open edX courses, WUaS students would initially simply sign up for their courses on something like the WUaS Open edX platform, in part. (You at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - will eventually be part of this WUaS sign-in process). Students will potentially matriculate online from all ~200 countries in the world, first in English.


3
World University and School in French (in the 29 out of 206 countries where French is an official language), and in Brazil in Portughese for example, will follow with time. 
For example, at France World Univ & Sch

at Brazil World Univ & Sch


4
In addition to creating a realistic virtual earth for drawing (per the WUaS Agenda & News), WUaS is seeking to create a single realistic virtual earth for everything, including a realistic virtual earth for languages - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLanguages?src=hashtag_click - in something like Google Street View with TIME SLIDER, Maps, Earth, Tensor Flow, Second Life for group buildable avatars and places, and Samsung Neons for realistic 'artificial humans.' Was glad to see newly Maps in Glottolog - https://glottolog.org/glottolog?iso=cmn#12/40.0209/116.2280 (with its  8,515 entries in languages - https://glottolog.org/glottolog/language). 

Another related big focus of World Univ & Sch is a GREAT Universal Translator for all 7,117 known living languages -
and even a translator for all 8,515 entries in languages per Glottolog.


5
In developing WUaS Open edX, WUaS seeks at this stage to plan for all 7.5 billion people on planet earth as wiki-Universitians for open teaching and learning among speakers of all 7117 living language - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - as well as for matriculating WUaS students in 200 countries, and even for UBI experiments to distribute a single cryptocurrency backed by most of ~200 countries' central banks, and significantly to alleviate poverty. Here wiki-universitians would be able to wiki-create courses too in the emerging WUaS Open edX, and again in all 7,117 living languages. (WUaS seeks, also, to collaborate with sister wiki project, WikiTree, which is planning a single Family Tree presumably for all 7.5 billion people in these regards). 


6
Sri Lanka World University and School is helping to focus developing WUaS on Google Sites in 4 languages, Sinhala, Hindi, German and Quechua. M. Rifai at Sri Lanka World University and School is WUaS's first chancellor of about 200 chancellors in all ~200 countries' WUaS universities in those countries' official languages, and in order to communicate effectively with the Sri Lanka Minister of Education, and the Minister of Finance there, for example.

Locks and the Tao the Ching * * 
"A good door needs no lock, Yet no one can open it" 
translated by Gia-Fu Feng & Jane English (1972)

Scott MacLeod sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org

10:57 AM (5 hours ago)
to Edward, Janie
Ed, Ma, 



(Am still concerned in an ongoing way about further illegal break ins and entries, and theft, for ex., in the night - and of spare car key fairly recently? ... and haven't been able to change the lock yet, - with landlady's written permission, and since her unwell dad doesn't seem to be able to control himself :( ... ) ... 


Recalled something about locks in the great great fascinatingly wise 'Tao te Ching,' a book I find helpful & philosophically edifying sometimes ... So I searched online and found these 5 comparative translations in its chapter 27 - 
re a good lock .... search on the word 'lock' here ...

I think I prefer this translation of the 4 out 5 with word lock in them: 

"A good door needs no lock,
Yet no one can open it." by Gia-Fu Feng & Jane English (1972)



Chapter 27, 1st of 5 translations from the Tao Te Ching
(https://ttc.tasuki.org/display:Code:gff,sm,jhmd,jc,rh/section:27)
27
A good walker leaves no tracks;
A good speaker makes no slips;
A good reckoner needs no tally.
A good door needs no lock,
Yet no one can open it.
Good binding requires no knots,
Yet no one can loosen it.
Therefore the sage takes care of all men
And abandons no one.
He takes care of all things
And abandons nothing.
This is called “following the light.”
What is a good man?
A teacher of a bad man.
What is a bad man?
A good man’s charge.
If the teacher is not respected,
And the student not cared for,
Confusion will arise, however clever one is.
This is the crux of mystery.


Locks back then in China, as well as a social justice legal system with regulated police, let alone as effective technologies, and pre-internet and digital alarm systems, were a very different cultural information technological expression.  

Laozi or Lao Tzu was born and died in the 
6th century – 4th century BC
Chujen village, State of Chu

So, in Taoism, 'living in harmony with the way' seems central, and I could interpret the Tao or the way, or road, also regarding culture, language or even the idea of the Tao, denoting 'the principle that is the source, pattern and substance of everything that exists' from Wade-Giles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoism but it also means 'a road, path, way; and hence, the way in which one does something; method, doctrine, principle') somehow.

Tao Te Ching can be literally translated as 
 "Virtue Way Rules"

So if the landlord intimidates, is scary or even attacks, is he out of harmony with the way?
And if the landlord hit the road ... I wouldn't need to think through locks or security so much (which isn't the idea of Chapter 27), I think (given the most recent illegal break in and entry, and theft and my reporting this officially to the Moraga police) ... and with medical systems with possible night nurses - like T the RN - and a nursing home system too, the current cultural information technology system (if we can call it that) is extraordinarily different from 2300-2500 years ago in China.  

So if I "do nothing" - wu wei (non action) - Taoism-wise too, and re the Tao, and in thinking through a security system through time here involving changing my house-let's lock, securing the windows, putting in a digital alarm system, but then scenario-wise, think in terms of possibly coming into ownership of this property - if landlord is escorted by T the RN to a secure retirement center - would I do best to think of security for all 3 dwellings eventually? Perhaps. 

Stopped at Rex Key & Security in Berkeley last night just after it had closed at 5 pm, and wanted to ask about how the very first step would work with them - changing the lock, getting a new lock and replacing it myself, but couldn't. Am thinking first about a total plan, and then the steps to achieve this, and Taoist philosophy is playing a role here too! :)

I think Chapter 27 in the Tao te Ching suggests - https://ttc.tasuki.org/display:Code:gff,sm,jhmd,jc,rh/section:27 - if you take the big view, "following the light," or good, care for the 'bad' man - but I would add MEDICALLY - that is sage behavior. But I wonder if this Tao view doesn't involve dissent from tyranny of the bad man ... and without leaving tracks, caring for or teaching the bad man at a distance somehow, - and even with medicines???

(The issue here seems to be, too, that of wronging, harming landlord, and good renter, and not the roles mentioned in the Tao Te Ching in chapter 27, - so changing the lock and with plans for subsequent security have merit - and bringing also the law to the matter). A secure retirement center for landlord away from here could make this dwelling much more secure.

Fond regards, Scott

Historical locks in China (but not from 2300s BCE)

But it seems as if mental illness too - like potentially regarding landlord's 'kink,' or paraphilia, or neurosis too?, or again mental illness could be the key issue, and with which Chinese philosophy wouldn't have much to say (since I don't think the Tao te Ching touches on questions of mental illness, for example ... ) 

Ah, to feel secure from an offender, perpetrator, aggressor or similar ... (Psychiatrist Harry Stack Sullivan's "Feel better now?" when he was struck by a patient? - George used to joke, as another insight into psychiatric linguistic approaches to medicine??? ... what therapeutically to do with the kleptomaniac - thief who can't help or control themselves, too?)
