Cape Sebastian, Stanford Law CodeX online meeting - [codex_group_meetings] TODAY! CodeX Mtg (9/12 @1.30p PT): SprintLaw; Documate - SLS N112 (or via Zoom) * * * Oregon: Reed College . . . Reedies as graduate students to teach this, and to become WIUaS Ph.D

Dear Dorna, Alex (and Roland), 

Thanks for your timely Australia law IT perspective, and Documate presentation. I wrote in chat: 
What regulatory issues in Australia might you be facing, if any (and possibly with comparison with state of California thinking in these regards)? Thanks so much, Alex, for your Law Tech presentation in CodeX!
Let's stay in touch too about MIT OCW-centric Australia World University and School  (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States), and especially with regards to our planned online Australia WUaS Law School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School (see the ~8 planned 'Law Schools at World University and School (planned in main languages in them' at bottom here). If possible, we'll develop in collaboration with Stanford Law CodeX, and WUaS seeks to become the Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Oxbridge of the Internet. 
Dorna, World Univ & Sch is also seeking to develop in Persian - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Persian_language - at Iran World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Iran_(Islamic_Republic_of) .
World Univ & Sch's platforms are CC-4 MIT OCW in its 5 languages (and Persian MIT OCW was archived only recently), Google in its ~100 languages with Translate, and Wikidata/Wikibase with its ~300 languages, and WUaS seeks to be in 7,111 known living languages.
If WUaS can, WUaS will seek to co-develop faculty / legal technology within a Google-centric platform - as well as with Google TensorFlow for data and AI - and will seek further collaboration with a wide variety of law practitioners and via our law faculty and professors. 
Thank you. 
Best, Scott

Candace!

Thanks for your thoughtful email. And congratulations on becoming Chief! Am hoping to connect and pair up soon, as well - and especially to begin a family. It occurs to me I could potentially meet a life partner at this Reed FAR weekend soon, and even, for example, by giving someone a ride back to the SF Bay Area, who might also be interested. Have blogged about this here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/big-flowered-wooly-meadowfoam-musing.html. In your new role as a NPS Chief, check out this incredible Meredith Delich/Patricia Deely Google for NonProfits' video (from 10 September 2019) which discusses so many management issues in brand new I.T. -centric ways - in this blog post too. Very germane for World Univ & Sch as well. World Univ & Sch's platforms are CC-4 MIT OCW in its 5 languages, Google in its ~100 languages with Translate, and Wikidata/Wikibase with its ~300 languages, and WUaS seeks to be in 7,111 known living languages. While Reed College offers one pedagogical model, MIT OCW another, and edX (Harvard/MIT founded, and re HarvardX and MITx) another one online, for example, the day-long state of California's BPPE licensing workshop on 2/20/19 in San Jose, CA - with a ginormous workbook we participants all brought home afterward with us - will focus World Univ & Sch on licensing for both Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees online in English. And WUaS seeks to offer online Humanities 101 (Reed informed re Hum 110 - and Nathalia King's lecture) as WUaS begins licensing (and then concurrently accrediting with WASC senior probably). And WUaS seeks to hire Reedies as graduate students to teach this, and to become WIUaS Ph.D. graduate students for free-to-students' degrees, as well as to become future faculty and staff. MIT OCW has about 32 MIT departments. These will be our initial majors in English, after the 6 in the course catalog here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - (and WUaS also seeks to hire 2.2 million people on both wings with time - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html - all of which would advance Reed indeed).  Did you know that the MIT Sloan School of Management's courses are available online for free - https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm - under CC-4 licensing? And I've just emailed Peter Norvig, head of Google's AI (who wrote the best text book for this) to inquire how he'd approach MIT OCW in Google. Maybe as part of this process, WUaS could generate some Sloan School of Management's courses that could be taken by NPS staff and which might be helpful for you in your new role. (And MIT OCW is still publishing new courses with full video - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1172194317483380736 & https://twitter.com/MITOCW/status/1171618130201915393) While Canyon 94516 where I live is very beautiful, as is my two-room house-let there, it's not big enough for a growing family. Greetings from Florence, Oregon, on night 2 of an up the coast journey to Reed. At Cape Sebastian south of here yesterday afternoon, met an amazing couple from Galicia Spain and we hiked 30 minutes down to the beach, and 30 minutes back up. On holiday, and driving down the coast from Seattle to SF, Manuel, a university researcher, is developing the Cabila (meaning think in Spanish, or tribe in Swahili) 'game' for cultural heritage - a field that overlaps with my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnography project - as well as my UC Berkeley Tourism Studies' working and group and related talks I've given at Cal. And Tanit is a psychologist working with refugees in Galicia. Both could help a lot with World Univ & Sch in Galician and Spanish. (Could this too have been a kind of 'GPS introduction'?) Manuel and my meeting could relate too to a realistic virtual earth that would benefit the National Park Service as a new initiative even - in addition to online MIT&Google-centric management classes. :) I doubt there will be a Hum 110 lecture streamed from Reed FAR, but if there is I'll let you know, and perhaps we can sit together virtually. On with seeking to connect with a wonderful friend / girl friend / partner / wife / mom-to-be who's a great fit here ... :) Thanks so much for your ever so great email, and good luck and best wishes in your new role, Candace!
Living longer than the upper limit of 122 - to 150? - is looking promising - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/longevity - and hoping we can keep connecting like this, both in writing, virtually and in person - perchance next at Reed! (Check out the Montane Ecosystem blog post from May here :)
More later!
Are you on Twitter at all, Candace?

Dear Manuel and Tanit, 

Wonderful to meet and hike with you down to Cape Sebastian - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cape+Sebastian+State+Scenic+Corridor/@42.3341986,-124.4218214,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x5f524b737012952d!8m2!3d42.3341986!4d-124.4218214 ...
More about ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy
Just shared this with a friend from Reed College: 
At Cape Sebastian south of here yesterday afternoon, met an amazing couple from Gallicia Spain and we hiked 30 minutes down to the beach, and 30 minutes back up. On holiday, and driving down the coast from Seattle to SF, Manuel, a university researcher, is developing the Cabila (meaning think in Spanish, or tribe in Swahili) 'game' for cultural heritage - a field that overlaps with my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnography project - as well as my UC Berkeley Tourism Studies' working and group and related talks I've given at Cal. And Tanit is a psychologist working with refugees in Gallicia. 
How could we explore developing MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch in Gallician and Spanish further re Spain World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Spain - in Spanish - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Spanish_language (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages)? See, too -https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ ...
Friendly regards, Scott

Tanit and Manuel, 
Blogged a bit about this here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/cape-sebastian-stanford-law-codex.html ... see the Manuel Castells' label and many others per what we talked about. See my email here to Candace re method for degrees at World University and School. 
Very nice to meet you. Am still unclear about my schedule for returning to the SF Bay Area after the Reed FAR gathering which ends on Sunday. Consider checking out Harbin Hot Springs on your way south - https://harbin.org/ - but I'm not sure what accommodations they offer presently, after a ginormous fire in September of 2015, and having re-opened this January 2019. 
Cheers, Scott

Big-flowered Wooly Meadowfoam: Musing-making ('a period of reflection or thought' generation) ongoing, Klamath-Skiskyou EcoRegion in northern California, David Rains Wallace's The Klamath Knot book (1983), This Is Water https://youtu.be/8CrOL-ydFMI David F

Hi M,

Nice to talk and thanks for your email here. Musing-making ('a period of reflection or thought' generation) ongoing ... It occurs to me that I could meet someone at Reed FAR who needs a ride back to the SF Bay Area, and who might even want to head to the Klamath-Skiskyou EcoRegion on the way south. She could be 28, a MD to be, and beautiful ... or someone 25-35 looking to begin a family and very attractive ... and we could connect on the road trip ... would be happy to offer a ride ... to be seen.

Greetings from Crescent City. Car-camped near the Pepperwood exit on Hwy 101 south of Eureka - basically from 11p-7:30 all scrunched up on a Thermarest under 2 sleeping bags in the back of my Prius c, not bad, but where is the Toyota Proace / Lerina / Alphard / Hiace that gets 100 mpg in the US? :)

You at the Pittsburgh Chamber Music Series - http://www.chambermusicpittsburgh.org/our-concerts - and KL at Chatham Baroque / Chamber Music Pittsburgh - might find this Google
for Nonprofits video from yesterday very very helpful -

https://youtu.be/-0fZ41yl4q4. It has lots of great ideas for how to use their Google platform. Is the PCM in the Google for Nonprofits?

World Univ & Sch is in it for free ... it's worth checking out! Blogged about this Google for Nonprofits' video here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/desolation-wilderness-brilliant-google.html ...

Am continuing to find this Boston Baroque internet channel - http://www.bostonbaroque.org/boston-baroque-radio - inspiring, which you both might enjoy as well.

I found the following about about Taoist ethics:

Religions - Taoism: Taoist ethics - BBC

https://www.bbc.co.uk › religion › religions › taoism › taoethics › ethics_1
Nov 12, 2009 - Ethics and morality, as well as the creation of community, emerge as central in the Daoist religion. Taoist ethics are concerned less with doing good acts than becoming a good person who lives in harmony with all things and people. Taoist ethics are inseparable from Taoist spirituality - both contain the same ideas.

https://www.patheos.com/library/taoism/ethics-morality-community/principles-of-moral-thought-and-action -


Principles of Moral Thought and Action
The Taode jing and Zhuangzi were not interested in promoting specific moral virtues, and were critical of the idea of regulating society with standards of behavior.  According to these texts, to emulate nature and "do without doing" (wei wu-wei), and to harmonize oneself with Tao, will lead naturally to behavior that is genuinely virtuous.  "Drop humanity, abandon justice/ And the people will return to their natural affections" (Ch. 19).

Early Way of the Celestial Masters texts did not follow the Taode jing in rejecting Confucian virtues, but they did argue that an emphasis on the outward signs of moral behavior was incorrect.  Instead they advocated "secret virtue," good works done secretly and known only to the gods.  Nonetheless, the Celestial Masters movement in practice regulated morality in a variety of ways, including requiring followers to confess their wrong-doing and petition the heavenly authorities for forgiveness.

Hi Spectator Books,

Thanks so much for your email as well.

I'm hoping Harbin Hot Springs (which just re-opened in Jan 2019, after fire of Sept 2015 ), when its bookstore is up and running, will carry especially my book -
"Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin" with its ~180 photos, which retails for $64.95 in paper. Since you're no longer doing consignment, and since I live close by, if you'd ever like to carry this book, I could bring some copies over to you at a later date (and at a cost below what I think you'd get online, but I'd just need a few extra days). A main idea of "Naked Harbin Ethnography" and for my next related Harbin ethnographic project is to create a realistic virtual Harbin in something like Google Street View with time slider for virtual visiting there ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~

Same with "Winding Road Rainbow: Harbin, Wandering & the Poetry of Loving Bliss" book of poetry, which retails for 9.99.

And also with "Haiku~ish: and Other, Loving, Hippy, Harbin Poetry" which lists for $5.50, which is charming, beautiful, short and sweet.


All are published by the startup Academic Press at World University and School (where World Univ & Sch seeks to become the Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Oxbridge of the Internet, press-wise too).

Looking forward to being in touch.

Best wishes, Scott

Here's a little information about my book: 'Winding Road Rainbow: Harbin, Wandering & the Poetry of Loving Bliss' wonderfully revisits the traveling to the Rainbow Gathering in national parks ... and the visiting and soaking in Harbin Hot Springs, and the poetry of Canyon, California 94516 ... especially: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0578435187. The poems "From Near Taos: Rainbow Gathering in New Mexico, Dipping in & out of Bliss, Blissware" to "Bonobo Loving Bliss" to "Rainbow is rebellious, like the 4th of July, against the powers that be, - so be hippies," travel far - in their language, and where they go 'virtually,' in completely new directions. Some are lyrical, while others go deeply into life at Rainbow Gatherings (in the western US) and Harbin Hot Springs (in northern California). Loving bliss neurophysiology and language are creatively explored in brand new ways - and, in conversation with the reader, to bring you to this "space." The Poetry of Loving bliss is a completely new direction in poetry writing as well.

It's published by a startup University Press, the Academic Press at World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - and lists for $9.95. I've brought this new Academic Press at World University and School 3 years in a row to Reed College in Portland, Oregon, as we begin to grow. - https://amazon.com/author/scottmacleo... -  Reed cheers, Scott ... scottmacleod.com ~

[NTF-talk] Slavery in the Quaker World


Interesting article from Friends Journal. Some of you may have seen it but I hadn't.

Thanks, Bill and Non-theist Quakers / NtFs, Atheist Friends, and all,

I found this related Twitter post for - https://www.friendsjournal.org/slavery-in-the-quaker-world/ - here:

"My new article about Quakers and Slavery in @friendsjournal. I write about how I ended up researching Quaker slave-holding, and why I think it's important for understanding our world today."

My new article about Quakers and Slavery in @friendsjournal. I write about how I ended up researching Quaker slave-holding, and why I think it's important for understanding our world today. https://t.co/mdbQcJMjXu— Katharine Gerbner (@ktgerbs) September 9, 2019

https://twitter.com/ktgerbs/status/1170868390522736640 (which I retweeted here - https://twitter.com/scottmacleod).


In a related vein, I find
Anne Marie Helm's main Twitter picture here of a live dog and a stuffed toy dog together - https://twitter.com/annemarieherron - germane.

Anne Marie Helm was a lawyer and law researcher at UC Hastings' Law School in SF for years, and like Gerbner went to a Quaker high school, Sidwell Friends, and I think too identifies with Quakers (having mentioned Anne Marie in a recent "[NTF-talk] Re: [New post] Quaker ‘Advices and Queries’ for Nontheists").  As a lawyer in SF, now in TN, she's probably "seen it all" or some of related injustices to victims of crimes, for example - and possibly within the RSOF even, in the SF Bay Area, as well as at large.


So I appreciate Katharine Gerbner's bringing questions of Christian Slavery into the present, writing: "I wanted to show how something as important as abolition had a history, and how we could learn about social justice by studying the past."


My Non-theist Friends' focus 'theologically" here - in that the roots of oppression, liberation theology-wise, too may be in "God-language" or so argue some liberation theologians (not necessarily non-theistically inclined, but in a parallel way with others interested in social justice, like Quakers) - since "God language" and also via the Bible, one can argue, has long been used to enslave people; liberation theology takes the other tack. And one can argue too that slavery continues into the present (in spite of laws against enslavement probably in most of all ~200 countries). And when the injustice of the modern slave trade tragically spills over into the 'sex trade' ... and when this further spills over into the "child sex trafficking trade," - it would be great if there were an alternative to these horrors and tremendous injustices - re the victims of such 'slave sex trades' - and lessening victims into the future too.


In these regards, I'm appreciating the potential for robotics in the future to perhaps save kids, for example, from becoming victims (of sex offenders, for ex.) - and re questions of law and psychiatry especially as well. For example, at MIT, see the work of Jacqueline Kory-Westlund:

"Published more work from my dissertation - new analysis of a dataset I collected five years ago!

A Long-Term Study of Young Children's Rapport, Social Emulation, and Language Learning With a Peer-Like Robot Playmate in Preschool
https://doi.org/10.3389/frobt.2019.00081 " ...

to Non-theist, nontheist-friends@googlegroups.com, Planning, annemhelm, Meeting

Hi Trevor (in Britain), Non-theist Friends' Network (British Isles), Atheist Quakers, and Non-theist Friends-NtFs (mostly in US),

Just getting back to this email and your WordPress post - https://nontheist-quakers.org.uk/2019/08/26/quaker-advices-and-queries-for-nontheists. Appreciating its NFN and NtF focus, as well as its focus on 8 billion people - and especially its focus on NFN language or discourse, culturally and re these British Isles' Friends. Have just blogged yesterday about 7.5 billion people in 3 ways - 1) free universal highest quality online education (MIT OCW-centric in its 5 languages), 2) Universal Basic Income experiments to distributed a single cryptocurrency backed/regulated by some number of ~200 countries' central banks, and to alleviate poverty, and 3) potentially universal highest quality online health care and re 'avatar bot electronic medical records' here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/shoaling-and-schooling-stanford-center.html. (The Friendly-informed charity 501 (c) (3) World University and School - since 2010 - also seeks to develop a parallel business educational services' wing, and incorporated in 2017 as a separate legal entity for this - also potentially serving 7.5 billion people). I appreciate too the epistolary qualities of your post - it feels like a wonderful sharing from a Yearly Gathering of Friends - with good and wise news. Thanks too for your NFN growth in the British Isles, and around the world.

In response to the first query in your post "So, what can we say?" - I think you're saying it, and have said it, and that it's in saying it - sharing this good message (a kind of NFN Friendly / Quaker evangelism???) that is what's happening in our own NFN or NTF gatherings. That is: it's the conversation, language, discourse, sharing via good communications that is what I inwardly receive from your "Advices and Queries." So glad to be having this unfolding conversation. And thank you so much! Good communication such as this can reach so many more than the small numbers of un-programmed Friends around the world, and the even smaller number of non-theist Quakers (re the 'power' of the symbol, or the word).

While I also think it's gatherings of Friends that have given rise to good messages such as yours over these 370 years, it's interesting to me that gatherings of atheist Quakers, and non-theist Friends of many varieties, are significantly meeting online these days and via communication technologies (and also in some annual on-the-ground meetings). And while NtFs have chosen so far not to hold Silent Meetings in the manner of Quakers or NFriends or NtFfriends online, I'd like to introduce you all to Anne Marie Helm, whom I think grew up among Quakers in the Washington DC area, and went to Sidwell Friends. She now lives in Nashville, Tennessee, and in recently emailing with her, I found the Nashville Quaker Meeting in Google Street View. The Nashville Quaker Meeting looks interesting in Street View - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Friends+Meeting+Nashville/@36.1572255,-86.8156218,15z/data=!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x9a09c648c2b073b1!2sFriends+Meeting+Nashville!8m2!3d36.1571383!4d-86.8158069!3m4!1s0x0:0x9a09c648c2b073b1!8m2!3d36.1571383!4d-86.8158069 - which she hasn't yet attended, but may explore doing so (but not in Google Street View yet!:) Also 'out of the box' (although am myself a member of RSOF), I find sitting in the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool akin to sitting in Silent Meeting and seek to facilitate this experience virtually from home, and even from our bathtubs (of all places!) ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~ and via information technologies. By introducing Anne Marie here, I also hope to share these non-theist Friendly email communications - http://www.nontheistfriends.org/ (accessible too from - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nontheist_Quakers) and https://nontheist-quakers.org.uk/ with her. It would be great for those (NtFs) who are interested to eventually be able to attend Quaker Meeting online in Google Street View, as I see this (and potentially either in conjunction with a monthly Meeting on the ground, or independently).

Yet to further bring in another strand of British non-theism, as well as humor: Richard Dawkins here - https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins - appears to be Tweeting Cleese (of Monty Python renown - er clown:) -

Hi Trevor (in Britain), Non-theist Friends' Network, (some atheist Quakers here too) and Non-theist Friends,

Appreciating too your focus on what I'll call Young Friends' Advices, pp 79-81 - http://www.yqspace.org.uk/system/files/content//Living_our_beliefs_2nd.pdf (https://nontheist-quakers.org.uk/2019/08/26/quaker-advices-and-queries-for-nontheists/) - although I read them through a NtF / AQ lens, and think about them too in terms of both their wisdom, but also in terms Friendly conversation / communication, which bear inquiry (especially in the sense of Richard Dawkins' Center for Inquiry as well).
Have blogged about some of this here today - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/ancient-woodland-nontheist-friends.html - as well as music software and related ideas, and re Yoga for back care. 
Nontheist Friendly cheers, ScottPS this Tweet - https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1170754341801644033 - touches on some all this as well, including especially the meditation aspect of sitting in a kind of NtF Silent Meeting.Ancient woodland: Nontheist Friends Network in Britain - your mention of 8 billion people; Sitting in the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool akin to sitting in Quaker Silent Meeting virtually from home & from bathtubs in http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg

PDFs into MuseScore for writing harmonies in bagpipe music?
Music composing software with Google Doodle Bach AI for composing:

(Here's the free MuseScore composing software - https://musescore.org/en/3.0).

Hi Patti,

Am making headway with my Scottish small pipes' 'Honey in the Bag' album planned for 2020. Looking forward to Open Band this Monday.

Am curious to explore composing harmonies on this album, by bringing tunes from Monday SCD into MuseScore or similar from PDFs, for ex. I'd like to explore this on both a D chanter as well as newly with a B flat chanter, sheet music-wise and re dubbing/recording. If you've come across any composing software that imports PDFs seamlessly into writable sheet music, please let me know! MuseScore while having a bagpipe 'register,' doesn't import PDFs seemlessly. Thank you.

See you all soon!

Cheers,
Scott

Open Band plays again on Mondays beg. Sept. 9 in the beautiful hall at St. Clement's Episcopal Church (2837 Claremont Blvd, Berkeley) near Claremont Hotel & Spa. Scottish Country Dancers & Musicians Welcome. See too https://t.co/jralgPlavK for @WorldUnivAndSch music+ subjects— Open Band (Berkeley) (@TheOpenBand) August 26, 2019

Hi Patti,

Am looking around for this and will let you all know if I find it. My druthers would be something like PDFs into free MuseScore with its bagpipe 'register' - and newly with Google's Bach AI Doodle music composing software - for somehow exploring optimal-for-bliss generation harmonies and composing, on the bagpipe 9 note Mixolydian scale. Am staying tuned. See you Monday.

Yoga for back care:


Scott MacLeod
Sat, Sep 7, 9:07 AM (23 hours ago)
to Barbara

Hi Barbara,

Thanks for your email! Sorry your back pain is such slow healing. Re further information triage, it occurs to me that a combo Iyengar Yoga Instructor / physical therapist could be helpful - and especially in learning about one's own body through asana, while also doing poses PT-wise that might address the issue of your herniated disk. While a call to Janet MacLeod (originally from the Isle of SKYE), who isn't a PT, but is a senior Iyengar Yoga instructor might be informative, or to Judith Lasater, who is a PT and sort of a senior Iyengar Yoga instructor, - it could be they'd suggest you take some classes, or they could suggest something completely different.

Would you like to meet at that Gypsy place (Cafe Roma) in Elmwood e-Berezerekeleye tomorrow morning, Sunday, sometime between 9 and 11, or even (out of the box-wise) come over to Canyon, and sit in our own little Quaker Meeting here for 30 minutes or so - or 10 minutes if sitting that long would be too much - and lying on one's back in Quaker Meeting would be great! too in these regards ... (and re Yoga books' returning too).

Cheers, Scott
Dawkins' here - https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins - appears to be Tweeting Cleese - https://twitter.com/center4inquiry/status/1169622272237289478 - in the Morning Heresy from the Center for Inquiry! Go figure :)

Hi Barbara,

Sounds good. I JUST SEARCHED ON: "yoga for herniated disk" and found this impressive video -

https://youtu.be/bvLpOGy22Nc - by a Physical Therapist. Could be worth experimenting here with videos AND search words. This one is also impressive -

https://youtu.be/8R-KGyTvjnA. Appreciating the cat and dog tilts with leg extensions ... as well as extending the spine, and strengthening the core, and too the traction on the spine.

I didn't search yet on "exercises for herniated disk lying on back" ... and you may well have a variety of better words to search on.

Hoping your gradual recovery continues, Barbara!  :)

Yoga books anon is good. (My seeking a partner here to begin a family continues! - and am putting the information out there).

Cheers,
Scott

1:28 PM (2 hours ago)
to amy.abernethy, Robert, robert.califf, Larry, Mintu



Dear Dr. Abernethy, (and Dr. Harrington, chair of Stanford Medicine, Dr. Califf of Duke University & former FDA Commissioner, Dr. Turakhia, and Dr. Viehland, chair of MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School's Board),

Thanks so much for your excellent talk yesterday at Stanford Medicine's Center for Digital Health. And congratulations on becoming both the Principal Deputy Commissioner & Acting CIO of the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

The question I had in mind to ask you, but didn't get a chance, was how you as a 'Dukey' and speaking at Stanford, but now as FDA Commissioner, think of emerging projects such as Alphabet/Verily, Stanford and Duke's Project Baseline in terms of potential usefulness to you in your new role in the FDA? I'm writing to follow up with some related ideas, conceptually, and as the Founder, President and a Professor at CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World University and School, which is like MIT OCW in 5 languages, and Wikipedia in 300 languages (and where WUaS as ~200 planned online universities is in Wikidata/Wikibase, which is Wikipedia's "back end" structured knowledge database in its ~300 languages).

Part of the WUaS idea here which could be helpful to you in your new FDA role, conceptually via World University and School, is the potential of generating a kind of university-centralization in the information technology age which is both distributed and about networks. So how could the FDA benefit for example, conceptually, with planned online Clinical Trials at WUaS (for all languages) - so speakers of all 7,111 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) - as researchers find new ways to do online clinical trials (e.g. sending packets in the mail to people in all ~200 countries for clinical trials from people's home computers)?

Major online Universities in countries' official / main languages at WUaS will emerge from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States (about ~200) - and since WUaS is planning for both online medical degrees with online teaching hospitals for online clinical care and research, these universities, like Duke and Stanford themselves, could become platforms for further FDA discourse, research and related questions. And WUaS is also planning online Law Schools for online law degrees in same countries' official languages, which could help too, FDA-wise, with related legal questions in the ways that FDA decisions could inform markets and regulatory questions in all ~200 countries, among many other related issues.



A) free-to-students' highest quality universal education

And, conceptually, and re the generation of university-centralization on the Internet in ways that might benefit you in your role as FDA Commissioner, WUaS donated ourselves to Wikidata / Wikibase in 2015 as a "back end" database in its ~300 languages, and received as a consequence our "front end" WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki in 2017, but these aren't interoperable yet. At this key moment of bringing these together, WUaS seeks to code for matriculated students in all ~200 countries' languages, and wiki-Universitians not only in Wikidata's 300 languages but also in all 7,111 known living languages - and then for all 7.5 billion people on the planet - as wiki teachers and learners, each a Wikidata Q-item, which is Wikidata's key identifier. In planning for all 7.5 billion people as wiki teachers and learners, WUaS seeks too to create free-to-students' highest quality universal education (MIT OCW-centric+). And large numbers of these people in the US and overseas could be involved in online clinical trials, and in many many other aspects of FDA processes, and re generating a kind of university-centralization re the global internet too.


B) facilitating a single cryptocurrency with blockchain, distributed potentially via Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (partly to alleviate poverty)

In planning for 7.5 billion people, WUaS also seeks to explore facilitating a single cryptocurrency with blockchain ledger backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks (think what comes post-dollar, or after the Euro in 19 out 28 Eurozone countries) and distributed potentially via Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (partly to alleviate poverty, and partly to plan for offsetting job loss due to automation, technology advances and robotics etc). All of this would have many implications for the FDA re insurance companies, big Pharma, the US government, etc.


C) 'avatar bot electronic medical records' for all 7.5 billion people.

And beyond the implications of 7.5 billion people re online clinical trials, conceptually, and re a single digital cryptocurrency, with coding, rules and regulations shared by some number of ~200 countries' central banks, World University and School also at this key moment of connecting or coding our "front end" with our "back end" would like to plan for 'avatar bot electronic medical or health records' for all 7.5 billion people. Think EPIC into 3D VR health records as electronic medical records for an integrated video record of all surgeries, for example, plus so much more - and see - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/20... - all of which could have innumerable implications for the FDA, especially if they emerged in some ways out of Alphabet / Stanford / Duke's Project Baseline data developments.

And lastly, conceptually, WUaS seeks to facilitate developing a realistic virtual earth, and not only for actual-virtual, physical-digital tele-robotic surgery, but for everything (think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / TensorFlow / Translate with avatar bots of people and species like in Second Life but realistic, and at the cellular and atomic levels too) including medical device design and testing. In these developments, all of agriculture, food plant species, and with genetic engineering too, would develop (perhaps with Video-to-3D applications) in this realistic virtual earth - and potentially in regulate-able ways per the FDA as well.

To close with some further questions, how could the FDA develop an AI & machine learning focus which is Alphabet-centric in part with its TensorFlow, and re some of the items above - and yet also government-neutral. And what's the FDA's engagement with Alphabet / Verily / Google Tensor Flow in these regards? WUaS is in Google, and as platforms, is Google-centric with planning for TensorFlow, Wikidata/Wikbase-centric in 300 languages, and CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric in its 5 languages.

Am glad for World Univ & Sch to be collaborating with Stanford in this sense presently - http://med.stanford.edu/cdh/connect.html - and in seeking further to to explore collaboration with Stanford Medicine, as well as with Alphabet's / Stanford's / Duke's Project Baseline, - and to potentially support the FDA in your mission and goals as well.

And here are the beginning MIT OCW-centric World University Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - planned online in ~200 countries' official and main languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages (in ~200 nation states - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States) as well as https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) if they might be of help to you in your new role as FDA Commissioner and acting Chief Information Officer.

By the way, WUaS also has a new wing (as of 2017), a new legal entity, called the WUaS Press or WUaS Corporation, which isn't operational yet, and where WUaS seeks to provide pharmaceuticals to our online teaching hospitals in ~200 countries' languages, for example, which could be of benefit to the FDA in planning process and regulatory questions, and especially with regard to market questions - and also esp. re generation of a kind of useful university-centralization in the information age. World University and School became a 501 (c) (3) non-profit in 2010, and recently is officially in Google for Nonprofits.

Am hoping these coding projects might generate a kind of useful university-centralization in the information technology age for you at the FDA, if this might at all be of help to you, Amy.

Thank you for your inspiring and very far-reaching 'fire side chat' at Stanford Medicine CDH yesterday especially, Mintu and Amy!

Sincerely, Scott

Western capercaillie: Sending care, Bagpiping, Stanford "TODAY ONLY- FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner Dr. Amy Abernethy" * * * NewProgramAlert! "ROBOATS" > https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/upl... > CELL / ATOM

Dear Larry,

It looks like some of their 1) "teams" could be 2) getting their "chains of command" in communication, re this "Today Only" email. Due to the implicit threat of force from both Stanford A) research and B) academic wings, will explore extending this Stanford ethics' inquiry to both Stanford 1) Libraries (and M.K.) and 2) Stanford Archaeology (and I.H.), - and given a similarity in pattern between 'threats' from Archaeology and from Dr. A.V. in Stanford Medicine, will likely extend this ethics' inquiry to him too. Per my 9/3 email to the Stanford faculty senate re if I didn't hear back from them before today, I'd seek to follow up with them in email tomorrow or Monday, I'll see what I and WUaS learn in today's CDH talk. Glad too that "today only" isn't yet "broken."
In seeking for World Univ & Sch to collaborate well with Stanford, first via networking, and even to hire great numbers of graduate student instructors who could become faculty in many languages and countries, it seems like this "Today Only" is a beginning communication in this direction - and re our WUaS 'official' affiliation/collaboration with Stanford Medicine's Center for Digital Health. How best to further other  'official' affiliation/collaboration with Stanford academic and research wings? This collaboration and re Duke University's FDA commissioner Dr. Amy Abernethy - https://mailchi.mp/febbe67d5b11/today-only-fda-principal-deputy-commissionerdr-amy-abernethy?e=6a72f4602e - could extend via Project Baseline which is an Alphabet/Verily / Stanford / Duke project and with regards to  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital in 200 countries' languages - as well as https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) .

Good M, Ma,

Played bagpipes last night a little after day had cooled, and after doing some inverted Yogi-bear poses :), and also made good headway with my next book, getting to the title poem "To the Dance or the Pools" ... seeking to bring out in poetry more of the "virtually' idea ... and not sure there are many poems from 2010-2011 that focus on this explicitly ... although there may be a few and in more recent years too. It's such a great and timely idea to explore - VR-wise, virtual reality-wise, and even in Google Street View with TIME SLIDER VR-wise - and in poetry :) Weather is rapidly growing more reasonable earlier in the evening ... heading to Stanford Medicine later today for a talk by a Duke University MD and FDA commissioner Dr. Amy Abernethy ... 
What are you up to today? And how's your week gone so far? 
L, Scott
Good ideas in blog post re this Lego Robotics' Dancer that we might make onto a "Roboat" and even for eventual 'surfing' - both actually and virtually - here: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/water-striders-eurekalert-mit.html and for play and learning :) ... interesting robotics for kids :)

Hi Ma, 

Am playing through the CoP Blue Book Vol. 3's tunes with E Combo Drone on (with only A tenor drone on), and to my ear: 
My Homedoesn't work
Flowers of the Forestworks
Thistle of Scotlandworks
Killiekrankiedoesn't work
and there about 10 further tunes - seeking to go through this whole list of tunes ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/cape-cod-bay-tune-tutorials-for.html ... with the E Combo Drone.
What 'works' means is a kind of what I'll call very loosely a "modal, medieval" sound, to my ear in this early phase. The E drone is a 5th above the A drone tonic. 
I hope to apply what I find with the Combo Drone to the tunes I plan to play on my album https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/gobies-scott-macleods-honey-in-bag-cd.html ... and will also explore D and B flat chanters on SSP. Bach's music is incomparable however, so I'm picking my tunes carefully for lyricism and appeal to my ear. :)
And now I'm seeking a way to identify keys that specific tunes are in ...
Am appreciating Yo Yo Ma playing the 6 Bach Cello Suites compared with Pablo Casals 1936-39 of the same, and Yo Yo Ma's in many versions is much prettier to my ear.
I see parallels too between the Scottish small pipes and the harmonious cello sound (eg here's Yo Yo Ma playing the cello suites :) ... https://youtu.be/Nu9MDqGhIak) ... how to grow this and learn from this and Yo Yo Ma too?  
Very nice to talk with you yesterday evening:) (Feeling-/thinking-wise am not that sad to say farewell to 319 personally ... but Shady Side Academy for my kids appeals ... could find a newer house in Fox Chapel at a later stage perhaps, and without the history:) How are you doing in thinking about saying farewell?
Sending love, Scott
