New recordings of tunes on Scottish Small Pipes in A from the College of Piping's Green Tutor (Vol. 1) - https://www.youtube.com/user/sgkmacleod/videos. I've recorded the 10 tunes of the lessons, and out of a total of 14 tunes in the CoP tutor so far, and will finish recording the rest - as a kind of tune tutorial for the Scottish Small Pipes with an A chanter.

PhilPapers - 'Validating Simulations' questions
Eckhart Arnold post -
- https://philpeople.org/feed_items/56556974
- https://philpeople.org/profiles/scott-gk-macleod/news
Hallo Eckhart,
I just received a 'New items in your topics of interest' email from PhilPapers with your interesting & topical "Validation of Computer Simulations From a Kuhnian Perspective" - with regards to my seeking to facilitate the developing of a single realistic virtual earth and realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs for actual-virtual, physical-digital ethnographic and STEM modeling comparison, a potentially very different approach to 'validation' than in your paper. Per your http://eckhartarnold.de/EN/index.html, I also lived in Munich in 1981-1982 for 13 months, - in Studentenstadt und nacher in Garching bei der Familie Krueger, durch eine Quäker Verbindung! (Eckhart ist Physiker) (Here too is my home page - http://scottmacleod.com/ - Enjoy!)
While my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' social science / humanities / anthropological and STEM simulation projects could involve video-to-simulation, 3D-to-realistic-virtual-earth applications or computer programs soon-ish, I'm thinking too in terms of Google Streetview with time slider / Maps / Earth / Tensorflow / Translate with realistic avatar bots and at the cellular and atomic levels which could eventually be used for tele-robotic surgery in conjunction with even Google/Stanford/Duke's Project Baseline and Project ECHO for online medical schools in some time. The method here I'm engaging involves a kind of 'build it out' approach / coding as making approach (and also ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy) and vis-a-vis Peter Norvig's thinking, head of Google AI, as well. (You'll find here Peter Norvig giving a talk in Vienna in 2015 - "Peter Norvig: How Computers Learn" - - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/03/lingcod-methinks-that-what-makes.html
https://youtu.be/T1O3ikmTEdACheck out around 38 mins a possible building of the virtual Harbin warm pool as one example of a simulation). How best to address philosophical questions, as well as validation questions in very different ways than your excellent analyses are questions I'm interested in. While this approach would bridge theory and empiricism in a Kuhnian sense, adding a variety of simulations (touched on in your paper, for ex.) to a single realistic virtual earth, Google-centric, could offer a whole new approach to philosophical validation questions.
I'm also developing CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World University and School for online university and high school degrees in each of all ~200 countries' official and main languages, and such a realistic virtual earth is intended for scientists to be able to add their STEM simulations as research to a single realistic virtual universe, and also as 'classrooms.' See, too: https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Philosophy and many more related wiki Subjects - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects.
How would you begin philosophically to address questions of validation, brainstorming-wise, in terms of this new approach to simulations I've explored above, Eckhart?
I followed you - https://twitter.com/EckiArnold - from here - https://twitter.com/sgkmacleod - on Twitter, and - https://philpeople.org/profiles/eckhart-arnold-arnold - on PhilPapers from https://philpeople.org/profiles/scott-gk-macleod.
And might I explore please even coming to Munich and giving a talk about some of these questions at some point? (I can share some talks I've given at UC Berkeley on related simulation questions).
And do you happen to know Stanford SLAC's Tom Abel, originally from Bavaria?
All the best, ScottCV: https://goo.gl/JZheSbhttps://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity

Jun 29th 2019 GMTValidation of Computer Simulations From a Kuhnian Perspective. Eckhart Arnold - 2019 - In Computer Simulation Validation - Fundamental Concepts, Methodological Frameworks, and Philosophical Perspectives . Heidelberg, Deutschland: pp. 203-224.While Thomas Kuhn's theory of scientific revolutions does not specifically deal with validation, the validation of simulations can be related in various ways to Kuhn's theory: 1) Computer simulations are sometimes depicted as located between experiments and theoretical reasoning, thus potentially blurring the line between theory and empirical research. Does this require a new kind of research logic that is different from the classical paradigm which clearly distinguishes between theory and empirical observation? I argue that this is not the case. 2) Another typical feature of computer simulations is their being ``motley'' (Winsberg 2003) with respect to the various premises that enter into simulations. A possible consequence is that in case of failure it can become difficult to tell which of the premises is to blame. Could this issue be understood as fostering Kuhn's mild relativism with respect to theory choice? I argue that there is no need to worry about relativism with respect to computer simulations, in particular. 3) The field of social simulations, in particular, still lacks a common understanding concerning the requirements of empirical validation of simulations. Does this mean that social simulations are still in a pre-scientific state in the sense of Kuhn? My conclusion is that despite ongoing efforts to promote quality standards in this field, lack of proper validation is still a problem of many published simulation studies and that, at least large parts of social simulations must be considered as pre-scientific.

Just emailed yesterday evening the Principal of the National Piping Centre, Roddy MacLeod in Glasgow, to inquire about lessons with him. See too - https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand/status/1142668818130468864. Am curious almost with regard too to Roddy (or someone there) to become somehow a producer for my "Honey in the Bag" Scottish small piping CD next year in addition to lessons. (https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1142668500667785222 too). See my email to Roddy below.

Dear Mr. Roddy MacLeod, and the National Piping Centre,
Greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area! I'm writing to inquire whether it might be possible please to study with you (or possibly Finlay MacDonald) on Scottish Small Pipes, if I were to sign up for Skype lessons?
I've played the Great Highland Bagpipe, and now the SSP for about 5 years, (giving up the GHB due to an ear condition) for more than 40 years, and also have specific tunes I'd like to develop. Thank you. And I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely, Scott MacLeod

Would like too to get a faculty position at Stanford, and then explore
becoming president of CMU (Carnegie Mellon University), based on my
growing experience as President at World University and School, and
even with regards to online World Univ and Sch in Google Hangouts for
bringing excellent teachers and music in mind. (I could see Scot
Alasdair Tait's extraordinary Stanford Masterclass in chamber music
working remarkably in Hangouts for example. (It was also very much
like a conversation, somehow transposed from psychodynamic
psychotherapy into teaching excellent chamber music groups and
musicians). Heading toward further excellence thanks to the Web with
World Univ & Sch - in music and in academic subjects is something to
grow, and potentially re CMU. How best to lead for the excellence I
experience at Stanford, as well as potentially at CMU - and online too
(re WUaS)? - and re John Hennessy's book "Leading Matters: Lessons
from My Journey" -
https://books.google.com/books/about/Leading_Matters.html?id=BQJtDwAAQBAJ&source=kp_book_description
- and re further communication with him. In what way could World
University and School take (talk too) this in remarkable new
directions, I wonder?
The Scottish Country Dancing music we played last night at Open Band
is more complex than previously: interesting opportunity re flow
experiences - 'challenge at the right level re enjoyment' and
Czikszentmihalyi's "Flow" book, and re playing beforehand too.
Piping lessons at National Piping Centre with Finlay MacDonald, head
of Piping Studies there (https://youtu.be/SHLabexNS-Y -
https://www.thepipingcentre.co.uk/learn/teaching-staff -
http://elearning.thepipingcentre.co.uk/teachers/finlay-macdonald/ -
https://rghardiebagpipes.com/finlay-macdonald/), poetry book and World
Univ and Sch ahead this summer and autumn .... I think ... Finlay's a
pretty solid Glaswegian, and smart/canny - and may know Lorne
MacDougall whom I enjoyed a benefitted from taking lessons with fairly
recently. May be recording a lot to Youtube in preparation for 10
lessons which would be great (out on my porch even) re my upcoming CD.
Thoughts about excellence, group video conferencing software for
music-making (in an online classical music school at World Uni) and
CMU, for example, - and re MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch?
Heard a very great talk today at noon by someone from West Bengal,
with a Berkeley Ph.D., who is now a Stanford Post Doc (see below)) ...
with so much relevance for studying meditation in the Harbin warm pool
re oximetry with flexible sensors. More about this soon, and very nice
to talk ...
Talk with you soon, Ma! And have a great week :)

I have in mind learners of The Scottish Small Pipes, and hope to record all of the Green Tutors' tunes + some to get started ... and then the tunes I have in mind for the Scottish Small Pipes' CD in 2020 ...
Finlay has a music degree from the Royal Conservatoire of Glasgow, is the head of piping studies at NPC, and plays with bellows' small pipes and similar which are all big pluses. I enjoyed his playing here too - https://finlaymacdonaldmusic.co.uk ... Time to sign up for lessons with NPC and see if I can study with him in Skype. Lessons are an opportunity to think about the music too via conversation.

Hi M,
Apple MacBook's microphone leaves something to be desired
Seeing these Walsh small pipe recordings
Marches on Walsh Smallpipes in A (Delrin)
https://youtu.be/418Bq2kNdwQ
Jigs on Walsh Blackwood Smallpipes
https://youtu.be/DYGSNmkGdhM (like The Glasgow Police Pipers tune at the close of this set, which I've played before)
... gives me some ideas for mic-ing anew as well as an appreciation of my non-Blackwood smallpipes, with a fuller rounder more harmonic sound I feel. (Yet perhaps they're somehow clearer I got a sense of at the end).
I made two more recordings today ...

The Brown Haired Maiden - Second Measure - on the Scottish Small Pipes in A (chanter)

I'm also not using my 3rd middle drone to create newly a chord, and which means I think that I have to choose piping tunes on sheet music in A, when they're not all in A actually.
How was your week? How are you?
L, Scott

Hi M,
Wanted to clarify how to tell what a key a piece of piping sheet music is in in College of Piping Tutor + (since piping music can be in 3 or 4 different keys I think, and is often not marked with sharps or flats). Found, to begin -
"To find the name of a key signature with sharps, look at the sharp farthest to the right. The key signature is the note a half step above that last sharp. Key signatures can specify major or minor keys. To determine the name of a minor key, find the name of the key in major and then count backwards three half steps."

Hi M,
Recorded 2 tunes + further in the College of Piping's Green Tutor - https://www.youtube.com/user/sgkmacleod/videos (& see below). I've recorded 6 of the 14 tunes in the CoP tutor so far, and will finish recording the rest as a kind of tune tutorial for the Scottish Small Pipes with an A chanter. Time to sign up for piping lessons I think with the National Piping Centre.

From February 2019
Hi Ma,
Burns' night continued ... re piping
I learned from Julia or Juliet I think her name is - the Scot who recited Tam O"Shanter which mentions the word cuttysark, in the poem, that 'cutty' means 'short' and 'sark' means 'skirt' ... makes me wonder too further about other origins for Cuttyhunk (beyond as a derivative from the Wampanoag word for lands' end, something like Pocutohunconoh ) ...
Here's the video and some photos:

Got home late, woke up early ... seeking to pipe some today (and how to grow this online interactively? ... eg I could and may record the College of Piping Green Tutor's tunes to Youtube playing them on the small pipes in A, so that other pipers could play with them digitally when learning, and then build from there to playing other tunes I enjoy a lot ... and then build interactively from there ... sun's shining, why not now? ... out on the porch, with the nice ridge in the background? ... may do so ... :) ...
How's your day going? And how are you?

Hi M,
I think I emailed this to you before - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/20... ... Nice to hear from Marilyn & Bill Stocker about Burns' Night last night. Marilyn repaired my kilt a few years ago, and did an excellent job. She's originally from Canada, and Bill is a retired anesthesiologist:
Dear Friends,
Thank you very much for the great Robert Burns’ party last night. We had such a good time. Marianna, the haggis was delicious as was all the food. Jamie( with Star’s helpful humorous translation) gave a great dramatic recitation. Juliet, you made Tam O’Shanter come alive. Scott, your piping added just the right touch of atmosphere. Kathy, thanks to you and all the band for the music during the dance and for Auld Lang Syne too. Star, your “ Afton Water” was beautifully sung. Dilip, thanks for the very enjoyable dances and excellent teaching.
It was a delightful evening.
Marilyn and Bill
Not so clear how to seek, circulate and then connect with a partner ... (George A could be an interesting problem-solver / thinker in questions like this, interestingly). Waiting to begin to generate resources myself may be only part of the question, and circulating another ... but actually connecting in a natural way ... thinking I'm seeking a kind of same-ness somehow ... Hmm :)
At this Bobby Burns' night celebration I played the first tune in the little procession well, but not so much the second tune "Honey in the Bag" - and I'm thinking of naming my debut CD "Honey in the Bag" ... SEE BELOW too ...
How was your day?
L, Scott

Posted some about seeking National Piping Centre lessons possibly with Finlay plus Stanford Music + here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/06/scottish-cairn-terriers-would-like-too.html ... Am thinking to get back into both lessons, and recording, for a Scottish Small Piping CD in 2020, to begin by recording on my SSP chanter in A (different from GHB practice chanter in B flat - http://www.themacleods.net/qanda/skmq...) all the tunes in the Green College of Piping tutor for other students who might be learning both SSP and using this CoP Green Tutor. (Both in Glasgow, the College of Piping and the National Piping Centre merged into the NPC in 2018 after decades - https://www.pipesdrums.com/article/gl...). I may explore recording these same tunes with may new D chanter, and transposing the music where needed with MuseScore - and to get more of a feel for the D chanter played with sheet music (something to explore, maybe with Finlay).

Adenium obesum: Forehead wearable sensors, and Headbands for studying the brain, and meditation, 'Pegman' in the lower left corner of Google Streetview will grow in to realistic virtual avatar bots onto which we'll be able to put virtual soft, skin-like, o
Dear Yasser, (Prashant, and Tim),
Thanks for your excellent Stanford "Soft, skin-like, organic optoelectronic sensors for wearable oximetry" talk, Yasser - https://events.stanford.edu/events/841/84184/ ... (and Prashant for your "eWear Seminar: Thin film ASICs for flexible wearables" talk yesterday - https://events.stanford.edu/events/842/84236/). And nice to see you again, Yasser, and to meet you, Prashant.
Yasser, I'm writing to follow up about my questions after your talk plus some other related items (and including Prashant and Tim Fiore MD, Chief Science Officer of the HUMM head band - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-fiori-780b7a84/ & https://www.medgadget.com/2018/12/edge-headset-for-enhanced-learning-and-memory-interview-with-dr-tim-fiori-co-founder-of-humm.html) re possible collaborations.
Am interested in the forehead sensor you mentioned yesterday for studying oximetry, and with regard to an eventual headband even.
Am curious too if we might all develop a study of meditation building on Herbert Benson MD's ~1972 study, but in new and different ways vis-a-vis oximetry. I think Benson was attempting to study meditation scientifically and came up with relaxation response as a biological-response approach definitionally. (Inner releasing action, are some of the words I use). How to measure and study this further?
For Benson "Blood lactate levels decreased during and after meditation. Oxygen consumption was deeper than during sleep, Symptoms of the body under stress. Dr. Cannon ..."
http://www.relaxationresponse.org/Presentation.htm (See too: https://www.apa.org/monitor/2008/10/relaxation).
I'm particularly interested in adding an aspect to such a new study brainstorming-wise, and by studying the relaxation response newly in warm water In the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool, differentially from the relaxation response on terra firma (i.e. without soaking in warm pool).
Using a forehead oximetry soft, skin-like sensor (eventually into a head band in order to study other aspects of meditation), how might we develop both or your sensor / eWearable's knowledge and approaches in these directions?
And might we explore eventual mapping of the brain (with lasers you mentioned as a possibility, Yasser) and in particular, brainstorming-wise re -

Shall we all write scientific paper together, first focusing on the relaxation response in warm water - and re oximetry? We may need a few further co-authors for the science, graphs, statistics etc.
And Yasser, and Prashant and Tim, would you like to meet for a cup of tea at Stanford Medicine to explore some of this further. A focus on writing a scientific paper could aid all of our academic and technology careers. And studying meditation is a very worthy scientific goal. (Am interested further in exploring studying consciousness scientifically in these regards as well - and perhaps Prof Michael Pitts at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, as well as Prof. Nathalia King there, both studying consciousness too, might be collaborators in some regards).
Thanks for your excellent Stanford talks, Yasser and Prashant, and your excellent Stanford HUMM headband demonstration, Tim.
Shall we meet to talk sometime soon, Yasser? (Will you be in the US for a while longer, Prashant?) And are you in Berkeley, Tim?
Let's communicate in email about this further, and potentially meet as well.

"Soft, skin-like, organic optoelectronic sensors for wearable oximetry"
Yasser Khan, PhD, Postdoctoral Scholar, Dept. of Chemical Engineering, Stanford University
https://events.stanford.edu/events/841/84184/
In this talk, I will focus on wearable soft sensors for oximetry. Conventional oximeters use expensive and rigid optoelectronic components that restrict sensing locations to fingertips or earlobes. To address these limitations, we demonstrated an all-organic optoelectronic sensor for transmission-mode pulse oximetry. This transmission-mode probe demonstrated that oximetry can be performed with organic optoelectronics. However, to realize the true potential of organic optoelectronics for oximetry, a reflection-mode operation is essential that allows sensor placement on different parts of the body. In the latter part of the talk, I will discuss design, sensing methodology, and fabrication of a flexible and printed sensor array, which senses reflected light from tissue. Due to the ability to place the sensor in diverse places, the sensor is promising for novel medical sensing applications such as mapping oxygenation in tissues, wounds, or transplanted organs. Finally, I will wrap up the talk by listing recent progress and future directions in soft biophotonic sensing.

Thanks too, Prashant Agarwal, for your Stanford "eWear Seminar: Thin film ASICs for flexible wearables" talk yesterday - https://events.stanford.edu/events/842/84236/).
One of the key challenges for wearables is that one-size-fits-all does not work. Most of the focus on customization and personalization of the wearables has been on the software and data analysis fronts. The hardware (sensors, readout, signal conditioning and processing, etc) is typically common across all the units of specific version of specific wearables. Human body has inherent variability from person to person as well as across different sites on the body. Thus, the hardware should ideally be customized across persons and across sites of body to ensure that high quality data can be captured. However, customization of hardware is constraint by high time and cost required and the trade-offs involved in customizability, cost, performance and power. This talk will present imec’s work in thin film ASICs that can enable hardware customization at lower cost and manufacturing turn-around times as well as enable flexible and skin-conformable form factors.
Prashant Agrawal received his PhD (Electrical Engineering) from KU Leuven (Belgium) in 2015 and MS (Computers Science & Engineering) from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in 2009. He is currently the Program Manager for Thin Film Electronics at Imec Belgium. Prior to this, he had been Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Imec between 2015-18 during which he managed technical and business development activities, and fund raising for internal ventures. He worked as Senior R&D Engineer in the Hyperspectral Imaging Group at Imec (Belgium) between 2014-2015 and as Technical Staff Member in the HPC Group at IBM Research India between 2006-2009.

Thanks too, Prashant Agarwal, for your "eWear Seminar: Thin film ASICs for flexible wearables" talk yesterday - https://events.stanford.edu/events/842/84236/).
One of the key challenges for wearables is that one-size-fits-all does not work. Most of the focus on customization and personalization of the wearables has been on the software and data analysis fronts. The hardware (sensors, readout, signal conditioning and processing, etc) is typically common across all the units of specific version of specific wearables. Human body has inherent variability from person to person as well as across different sites on the body. Thus, the hardware should ideally be customized across persons and across sites of body to ensure that high quality data can be captured. However, customization of hardware is constraint by high time and cost required and the trade-offs involved in customizability, cost, performance and power. This talk will present imec’s work in thin film ASICs that can enable hardware customization at lower cost and manufacturing turn-around times as well as enable flexible and skin-conformable form factors.
Prashant Agrawal received his PhD (Electrical Engineering) from KU Leuven (Belgium) in 2015 and MS (Computers Science & Engineering) from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in 2009. He is currently the Program Manager for Thin Film Electronics at Imec Belgium. Prior to this, he had been Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Imec between 2015-18 during which he managed technical and business development activities, and fund raising for internal ventures. He worked as Senior R&D Engineer in the Hyperspectral Imaging Group at Imec (Belgium) between 2014-2015 and as Technical Staff Member in the HPC Group at IBM Research India between 2006-2009.

Camellia: Wikidata * * * From next November I will be also the Rector in a new University in Germany: Germany World Univ and Sch * * * @WorldUnivAndSch plans to create Library Resources' wikis https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool...
Dear Lydia (Wikidata Product Manager), Hilary, Michael (Stanford Vice Provost), Klaus, Katherine (Director of Wikimedia), Roland (Stanford Law Professor) and Larry (chair of World University & School's Board),
I have received a number of curious emails from Stanford Libraries recently ostensibly for introducing Dr. Klaus Ceynowa (Director of the German National Library) and Hilary Thorsen (Chair of the Wikidata Affinity Group at Stanford Libraries) to one another, I think, - see: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/06/galanthus-nivalis-libraries-in-wikibase.html - which then proceed to alienate ("ban") me from A) Stanford Libraries themselves, from B) the "Wikimedia movement," and from C) a specific Google Group, the LD4 Google Group. I met Klaus in a Stanford Libraries' event. I responded to the first email (from M.C.) to Michael Keller with - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/06/achiote-bixa-orellana-wikidata-affinity.html. And I responded most recently (to P.S.) with:
"Your email has been received.
From next November I will be also the Rector in a new University in Germany" (see below).
While this introduction is potentially very helpful for both the GNL and the Wikidata Affinity Group, it's hard to see how World University and School's donation of WUaS to Wikidata as "back end" for co-development (in 2015), and then having received our WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki (in 2017) as "front end" - re the WUaS Library Resources' wikis ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources (and WUaS's ~ 725 wiki pages in English so far; see, for ex. - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects and planned in Wikidata's 300 languages, and then planned in 7,111 known living languages) - can develop further within the "Wikimedia movement," given this alienation.
Having drafted a WUaS Library Resources' presentation for the bi-weekly Wikidata Affinity Group per Hilary, Stanford Wikimedian-in-Residence (see - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2019/06/agenda-news-for-open-wuas-monthly.html), and the possibility of giving it in the June 18th Wikidata Affinity Group (which is now operating with a Linked Data 4 - LD4 grant, I think), this is currently on hold.
Lydia,,given these fluctuating group affiliations, and curious (spurious & unjust) "bans," in what ways could World University and School's Library Resources (and all of WUaS) develop in Wikidata and MediaWiki newly together (so that they become interoperable) from your perspective, and thus significantly benefit both Stanford Libraries and the GNL, given too this recent WUaS alienation from the "Wikimedia movement" development? Thank you so much.
Sincerely, Scott MacLeod

"Soft, skin-like, organic optoelectronic sensors for wearable oximetry"Yasser Khan, PhD, Postdoctoral Scholar, Dept. of Chemical Engineering, Stanford University
In this talk, I will focus on wearable soft sensors for oximetry. Conventional oximeters use expensive and rigid optoelectronic components that restrict sensing locations to fingertips or earlobes. To address these limitations, we demonstrated an all-organic optoelectronic sensor for transmission-mode pulse oximetry. This transmission-mode probe demonstrated that oximetry can be performed with organic optoelectronics. However, to realize the true potential of organic optoelectronics for oximetry, a reflection-mode operation is essential that allows sensor placement on different parts of the body. In the latter part of the talk, I will discuss design, sensing methodology, and fabrication of a flexible and printed sensor array, which senses reflected light from tissue. Due to the ability to place the sensor in diverse places, the sensor is promising for novel medical sensing applications such as mapping oxygenation in tissues, wounds, or transplanted organs. Finally, I will wrap up the talk by listing recent progress and future directions in soft biophotonic sensing.

Scottish & Cairn Terriers: Would like too to get a faculty position at Stanford, and then explore becoming president of CMU (Carnegie Mellon University), based on my growing experience as President at World University and School, and even with regards to o
Hi M,
Really nice to talk with you last night! - and re Stanford music too. Glad you heard Janis Ramey's brass band(s) over the weekend.
Next poetry book writing beginning now and on Cuttyhunk, again from poems in my blog -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/poetry - with some Harbin focus again too.
Hearing the St Lawrence String Quartet play Ralph Vaughn Williams' piece with A.E. Housman's poetry sung to it by a great baritone voice, Paul Groves, yesterday at Stanford -
https://events.stanford.edu/events/840/84073/ - gives me a new appreciation of poetry with classical music, as well as Williams' work played extraordinarily well - and will write my next poetry book
with this poetry sung to classical music in mind. Do you know Williams' "On Wenlock Edge"?
Would like too to get a faculty position at Stanford, and then explore becoming president of CMU (Carnegie Mellon University), based on my growing experience as President at World University and School, and even with regards to online World Univ and Sch in Google Hangouts for bringing excellent teachers and music in mind. (I could see Scot Alasdair Tait's extraordinary Stanford Masterclass in chamber music working remarkably in Hangouts for example. (It was also very much
like a conversation, somehow transposed from psychodynamic psychotherapy into teaching excellent chamber music groups and musicians). Heading toward further excellence thanks to the Web with
World Univ & Sch - in music and in academic subjects is something to grow, and potentially re CMU. How best to lead for the excellence I experience at Stanford, as well as potentially at CMU - and online too (re WUaS)? - and re John Hennessy's book "Leading Matters: Lessons
from My Journey" -
https://books.google.com/books/about/Leading_Matters.html?id=BQJtDwAAQBAJ&source=kp_book_description - and re further communication with him. In what way could World University and School take (talk too) this in remarkable new
directions, I wonder?
The Scottish Country Dancing music we played last night at Open Band is more complex than previously: interesting opportunity re flow experiences - 'challenge at the right level re enjoyment' and Czikszentmihalyi's "Flow" book, and re playing beforehand too.
Piping lessons at National Piping Centre with Finlay MacDonald, head of Piping Studies there (
https://youtu.be/SHLabexNS-Y - https://www.thepipingcentre.co.uk/learn/teaching-staff -
http://elearning.thepipingcentre.co.uk/teachers/finlay-macdonald/ -
https://rghardiebagpipes.com/finlay-macdonald/), poetry book and World Univ and Sch ahead this summer and autumn .... I think ... Finlay's a pretty solid Glaswegian, and smart/canny - and may know Lorne MacDougal whom I enjoyed a benefitted from taking lessons with fairly recently. May be recording a lot to Youtube in preparation for 10 lessons which would be great (out on my porch even) re my upcoming CD.
Hilary Gunning checked out my LinkedIn profile recently ... Larry Lessig reposed Hilary Gunning's June 19 Tweet on ranked voting in Maine - https://twitter.com/hgeditor/status/1... - here - https://twitter.com/lessig. What do you think of ranked voting, M?
Thoughts about excellence, group video conferencing software for music-making (in an online classical music school at World Uni) and CMU, for example, - and re MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch?
Heard a very great talk today at noon by someone from West Bengal, with a Berkeley Ph.D., who is now a Stanford Post Doc (see below)) ... with so much relevance for studying meditation in the Harbin warm pool re oximetry with flexible sensors. More about this soon, and very nice
to talk ...
Talk with you soon, M! And have a great week :)
L, Scott

Just found this online when I followed Rahul Gandhi on Twitter - https://twitter.com/RahulGandhi from https://twitter.com/scottmacleod ... Appreciating much of these ideas, for ex. -
“Democracy is not merely a form of Government. It is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience.
[Democracy] is essentially an attitude of respect and reverence towards our fellow men” --- Babasaheb Dr BR Ambedkar "Democracy is a faith in the spiritual possibilities of not a privileged few but of every human being." --- Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan

Democracy"In the democracy which I have envisaged, a democracy established by non-violence, there will be equal freedom for all. Everybody will be his own master. It is to join a struggle for such democracy that I invite you today."--- Mahatma Gandhi during his Quit India speech, August 8, 1942"Democracy is good. I say this because other systems are worse. So we are forced to accept democracy. It has good points and also bad. But merely saying that democracy will solve all problems is utterly wrong. Problems are solved by intelligence and hard work." --- Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru“Democracy is not merely a form of Government. It is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience.[Democracy] is essentially an attitude of respect and reverence towards our fellow men” --- Babasaheb Dr BR Ambedkar "Democracy is a faith in the spiritual possibilities of not a privileged few but of every human being." --- Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan"Today countries where democracy was born are all much wealthier than India, and skeptics might say that it is too soon for India to talk about social democracy. That misses the point. In country after country, where social democracy took root, it was once for them a dream for their tomorrow. It was built, brick by brick, over many generations, energized by economic growth. In turn, it stimulated and sustained economic growth – by opening up opportunities for human development, by building social cohesion and solidarity, and by providing the framework of an intellectual and political consensus. In those countries, social democracy not only proved to be good politics, it also turned out to be good economics. It brought the state, business and labour onto a common platform in pursuit of a shared vision – the vision of a more equal, more caring society." --- Smt Sonia Gandhi during her address at the 10th Indira Gandhi Conference, 2010
