Google for Nonprofits: Changes to Donations on Search Pilot Program

Dear L,

It looks like WUaS got a 'Knowledge Panel" in Google Search -

https://www.google.com/search?ei=58m8W_v3EauR0gLNn4iACA&q=world+university+and+school+&oq=world+university+and+school+&gs_l=psy-ab.3..35i39l2j38.7781.7781..8084...0.0..0.94.94.1......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71.Eb-0ZBNlwK8

but that Google "will be turning down the donate button feature this week as we continue to work on improving the overall donation tools product experience."

Hi M,

Summer garden is winding down ... would be interested in exploring gene editing: A) could I generate ripe tomatoes in June, and B) could I generate 3 tomatoes per week over a long growing season, beginning in May? (And could I do this gene editing from a virtual platform such
as developments in Google Street View somehow combined with CRISPR?)

... Appreciating ... the sea in many ways. It's a big field site for science!

Played through the Scottish Country Dance tunes last night on my small pipes (but not keyboard) for this evening. Most of the tunes aren't ever scored for Scottish small pipes, which creates wee challenges. But if I were to begin piano lessons with Patti in January, if monies begin to flow, then I could focus on this too, in addition to the other things I've mentioned as focuses in lessons with her (and blogged about - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/09/the-wadden-sea-netherlands-lights.html).

How was your dinner? How are you?

L,
Scott

Thanks, Mark Helpsmeet, and friendly folk dancers,

Curious to explore friendly folk dancing for infinite joy generation from our homes together - in a realistic virtual earth (think Google Street View with time slider with avatar bots, and even augmented reality) - but won't be able to this FFD tour:)

Perhaps something like this ~ https://twitter.com/TaDaTimeApp/status/1049271058170351617 - where TaDa time is Wisconsin-based. Movement, dancng and traveling from home, too!

Re a realistic virtual earth, visit the Harbin gate in Google Street View here ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ where you can "walk" down the road '4 miles' to Middletown and 'amble' around the streets there, if inclined, for example.

Tweeted about some of this here too -

Thanks to Mark and his Northern Spirit Radio for interviewing me about World University and School - http://scottmacleod.com/papers.htm - 


MacLeod, Scott, and Mark Judkins Helpsmeet (interviewer). 2017. Free Universal School: Scott MacLeod is founder & president of World University and School (WUaS), an effort to make a high-quality, versatile, free education available to all who desire it, via the Internet. Drawing on wiki technology and with a tremendous supply of creative commons-licensed open courseware from MIT & Yale, WUaS is launching its first 4-year class this fall. This project aims to make the education and learning available in a vast number of languages, eventually all languages from all countries - always free to the student. While the vision is breath-taking and the goals lofty, the plan draws on established and tried tools, and overlapping projects like Stanford Online High School  and other ground-breaking implementations. http://northernspiritradio.org/episode/free-universal-school. April 9. (An hour-long phone interview; 
title by Mark Helpsmeet). Eau Claire, Wisconsin: Northern Spirit Radio.

... via which I hope we'll facilitate virtual FFD as well. 

-- Cheers, Scott

Hi E,

Thanks for your text just now, some of which is a bit obscure. Will have to ask you about it. Glad A is doing well at UC Santa Cruz. Just shared the following with my mother, which could somehow be related.

Hoping you got caught up on sleep and work, and glad you are doing OK nevertheless. Continuing to seek a partner to begin a family ... Difficult to read "California" signals in these regards. ...  Who knows? ... continuing to circulate ...

Fondly, Scott

Hi M,

Not sure about CaliFORNIa and culture here. My hunch is that ... has been through a bunch of (negative?) west coast stuff since before heading to college on the east coast around '97, so seems unlikely  ... as George observed, no one is perfect (and I think negative sexual stuff complicates lives, so I'm glad psychotherapy in California exists) ... and I can be a bit of an idealist. (Fornix's etymology is from "arched" and California's etymology is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etymology_of_California). So circulating in seeking a partner to begin a family ... Am curious about California culture and related laws re Harbin too - re my Tweet from yesterday:

What are the unfolding legal arguments, construals & interpretations in the state of California as Harbin prepares to open again in 2019 after 9.12.2015 fire? Separation of church - Heart Consciousness Church-HCC since '75 - & state ~ http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/10/buffy-tufted-marmoset-nyts-chief.html?m=0… & with regard to what?



https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1048956056552890375 (which this tweet herein - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/10/caribbean-reef-squid-art-into-robots-as.html).

(Harbin has its own fairly developed, complex philosophies / thinking about sexuality and re the 'law' too).

Re Chris Wiggins' mentioning separation of Church and State in the above interview: Could the separation of Church and State article that George wrote for Friends' Journal have anything to do with Harbin somehow - http://www.friendsjournal.org/wp-content/uploads/emember/downloads/2008/HC12-51063.pdf ? (And did Columbia Univ Prof Chris Wiggins, the head of IT for the NYTs and even Harvard Prof Jonathan Zittrain, who's from Pittsburgh, and since they could be colleagues and friends - both go through a psychoanalysis with George, and as teenagers? ) Have Chris and Jonathan even conferred about George's intelligence and practice as a Lacanian psychoanalysis, and this one publication of George's? So I searched on "{Laconian} psychoanalysis with teens" and found -

"With young children, it is an intensive version of play therapy that seeks to address conflicts and developmental impediments to forward progression. With adolescents, the treatment approximates adult psychoanalysis, but the teen is not required to lie on the couch if he or she finds that awkward or uncomfortable."

http://psychoanalysis.columbia.edu/patients/children-and-teens/psychoanalysis-children-and-teens

Interesting re theorizing psychoanalysis, but Lacan didn't write much about this process (psychoanalysis with kids).

What would online possibilities offer for Laconian psychoanalysis with teens?

So I then looked up "muslim-american psychoanalysis with adolescents" - and found "An exploratory study of Muslim adolescents' views on sexuality ...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2940920/"

(PDF) Key Issues to Consider in Therapy with Muslim Families
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/274080782_Key_Issues_to_Consider_in_Therapy_with_Muslim_Families


Back to California and its ethos ... and re Harbin too ... and re theorizing online Lacanian psychoanalysis re WUaS ... and for adolescents ... and my hypothetical kids going through psychoanalysis (since I think all of the Alexanders benefitted from this, and George's thinking, and all of his kids went through psychotherapy as teens I think) ... But post 1960s and '70s in both California and on the east coast and in Europe and Asia / Africa / the Middle East ... are interesting questions here ... and the state of California regulates psychotherapy too ... So what kind of unfolding issues are emerging in California law re Harbin ahead, I wonder ? (In another blog post I shared with you too, Joanne Wenzel talked in video about regulating massage in CA - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/06/canada-lynx-wuas-wiki-subject-pages-can.html - and I suppose Harbin workshops, and possibly 'swinging' there too, could be 'regulated' in similar ways).

Some family musings on a Tuesday morning ... what are you up to today, M? :)

L, Scott
