Hi Barbara and Patti (musicians in Open Band - Berkeley), 

For your information, and for my learning re a debut Scottish small piping CD on an A chanter which I'm developing tentatively entitled "Honey in the Bag," here's Brìghde Chaimbeul's debut CD "The Reeling" on a C Scottish small pipes' chanter (one review says) - 


And here in Google Streetview is where she recorded "The Reeling" in the historic East Church in Cromarty (somewhat east of Skye and northeast of inverness) - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cromarty+East+Church/@57.6789751,-4.0290695,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x1d4df95fc01c81f4!8m2!3d57.6789751!4d-4.0290695 (it would be interesting to hold concerts in such online virtually in VR with time ... as part of my vision for a realistic virtual earth too) -

... and again "Brìghde Chaimbeul: The Reeling review – ancient Gaelic drones" - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/feb/08/brighde-chaimbeul-the-reeling-review-river-lea-gaelic-drones 

And there are about 3 other musicians on her CD ...

I may record my sets of tunes to Youtube first on my porch with the hills behind me ... (and then see if I can eventually put them easily onto a CD disk)

Just put together an initial of list of tunes (see below) ... see line 4 here - "Tunes I like a lot" - (in addition to my previous emails re conceiving of this)

And I also pulled out 3 old audio cassettes of PM wee Donald MacLeod from the '70s I think, which have moved me a lot ... for another way of thinking about how to order the tunes, for one. (He like Brìghde was a Scot, and also from the Highlands, I think; he was an amazing piper and composer as well).


How's the release of Stringfire's "Landslide" CD going, Patti? 

Musical cheers, Scott

Eurasian oystercatcher: Check out the new Scottish small pipes' album 'The Reeling' from Brìghde Chaimbeul from Skye - with the beginnings of all tracks in the Guardian article - (as a good outreach idea I think), An inspiration (and model) for creating my own first Scottish small piping CD with piping tunes I play ... and further in the direction of Grateful Dead (from about '65 to '79), Kathryn Tickell at the Cambridge/Oxford Folk Festivals +, as well as Steeleye Spans' folk rock in the '60s and '70s+. I want folks to want to seek out a related channel on iHeartRadio streaming internet or similar, for example - as a vision - and it takes them someplace

Hi Patti and Barbara, 

Continuing this exploration of a new Scottish small piping CD, and hope to come into conversation in writing too with the following bagpiping CDs and musicians I enjoy a lot a lot.

Snippets of the beginnings of all their tracks are here (amazingly):

The Islay Ball (2001)
Gary West
(appreciating the beauty of this CD - Gary West was my tutor at the University of Edinburgh in 2003-2004 - and does BBC Pipeline, and its Scottish small pipes, Scottish highland pipes, and whistle and singing, for the variety; also like the drive and musicality here and when it catches my ear in CDs below).

*
Thunderstruck (2003)
Gordon Duncan
(appreciating Gordon Duncan's compositions, and his outrageously great piping - recalling in little ways Jimmy Hendrix)

*
The Reeling
Brighde Chaimbeul
January 18, 2019
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/feb/08/brighde-chaimbeul-the-reeling-review-river-lea-gaelic-drones
(her chanter is in C)

*
The New York Recordings 1967
Pipe Major Donald MacLeod
(Am a fan of Donald MacLeod's piping and compositions, and his chanter on this CD sounds to be in B (using 'Sound Corset'), not B flat, - or the A of my Scottish small pipes' chanter - at this point, because I don't think I'll play my D chanter on my upcoming CD).

*
Stuart Liddell - Inveroran (2007)
http://www.gaelicmusic.com/album.php?SKU=SKYECD43
(Am a fan of Stuart's remarkable and lyrical at Piping Live Glasgow, all 1-8 sections, and his excellent playing of both familiar fairly simple tunes, as well as most challenging tunes) ... :

Stuart Liddell - Piping Live Glasgow, 1-8 - 2010?

https://youtu.be/HWWgJk2MyhU

* *
The Kathryn Tickell Band - Signs (1993)

https://youtu.be/vmjDbN48_vg
(This album too with Kathryn Tickell Northumbrian small piper has a kind of sensuousness I'm appreciative of, and am seeking to come into conversation with musically re my upcoming Scottish small piping CD).


* * *
Just searched on:
Can I make a CD from recording to youtube?

The final step is to hit “Add to Download”, then the YouTube audio will be downloaded to your computer. Now, you can use the built-in CD burner to burn the downloaded music to CD. Insert a blank disc to your CD-ROM drive.
Best bet to copy and burn YouTube music to CD - Apowersoft

Seems so - https://youtu.be/lEzM1dZrNqE (from 2013 - so old)


* * 
Blues' flute playing? 


Warm regards, Scott


* *

Seeking to play a bit with a metronome, and daily from home socially though (so in a Google Hangout?), ... as I develop my Scottish small piping CD ... and find a way between a perfection-focus, a vision of playing technically  perfectly, and, say, this High Level Ranters' album of 1964 highlighting Northumbrian piping -
https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand/status/1101004484019277824 - and possibly from a folk ethnomusicology perspective containing much more re northern British Isle's musical idioms +++ - and creating my own moving music (Grateful Dead made lots of mistakes from some perspectives, for example, but I also listen to them among the most because their music is moving, by way of comparison:). Re playing and listening to moving music (which I do a lot on internet streaming radio channels these days), one way of saying the above is I think I'm seeking to develop not classical music approach to this piping CD (and I'm not planning on playing any Piobaireachd on this), but rather a musically MOVING kind of folk approach.

Jiarui, John, Jason and Roland,

Thanks so much for your timely and topical Blockchain Copyright Exchange (BCE) presentation, and nice to meet and talk with you afterward, Jairui. (Am addressing this email mostly to Jiarui, but with items of possible interest to all of you). And thanks to all of you for your great presentations - https://law.stanford.edu/2019/02/27/codex-meeting-2-28/. 

Brainstorming-wise, I'm curious how you'd envision suggesting using BCE for Brìghde Chaimbeul's debut CD "The Reeling" on a C Scottish small pipes' chanter which she just put on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/search/songs/Chaimbeul%20The%20Reeling - with potentially a quite small group of target listeners, for example? She's from the Isle of Skye in the north of Scotland, which is a small country in its own right. And brainstorming-wise further, here's a Scottish small piping CD album I'm planning to make - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/gobies-scott-macleods-honey-in-bag-cd.html (with links to Brìghde's work too). And I'm planning to begin with recording to Youtube. Perhaps this would all be helpful to you in your further developing BCE, conceptually and strategy-wise. 

And do you know Dr. Robert Chang MD, a professor of ophthalmology at Stanford Medicine who just gave a talk about Blockchain ledger for healthcare. You'll find resources about his talk here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/giant-panda-stanford-cdh-workshop.html - as well as a characterization of Blockchain ledger - https://twitter.com/ValaAfshar/status/957308334154985472 - that I've found helpful and that I think complements yours. You'll also find resources in this blog entry some resources about World University and School's planned online medical schools with teaching hospitals in all ~200 countries' official and main languages - and WUaS is planning online Law schools too in all ~200 countries' languages. Chinese, Spanish and English are WUaS's pilot languages (but WUaS is planning to be in all 7,097 living languages with machine translation).  You'll also find in this blog post a day long MIT conference on Robotic Systems with Blockchain that's fascinating, but doesn't touch on the entertainment industry. 

I"m posting below some beginning universities and law schools and related World University and School wiki pages. WUaS is like Wikipedia in 300 languages with CC-4 MIT OCW in 5 languages, and plans to offer online degrees in ~200 countries' main / official languages - Law, Medicine, Ph.D., Bachelor, and I.B. high school - and WUaS just attended our first day-long workshop with the state of California's BPPE last Wednesday (a milestone long in coming:). (See, too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator < https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects).

Let's stay in touch about all of this. 

Thank you again for your great presentations. 

Best regards, 
Scott

Per a conversation afterward at Stanford Law with Jiarui and another person present, I think the 'building blocks' of such a system would be a Spotify music streaming app and an Indiegogo crowd funding app, and then Jiarui choosing one of two main blockchain BCE systems available to him as coder today ... as a further kind of overview of how blockchain ledger might work, and with regard to copyright infringement questions. (Am seeking to learn about how trust per - https://twitter.com/ValaAfshar/status/957308334154985472 - would be important for transactions for a next Scottish small piping CD by Brìghde Chaimbeul, for example).

Seastones in water: Stanford - "Governance in the Emerging World: National Security" * * * Stanford and Google could bring, for ex. I'd think, an algorithm of quantum computing approach to developing QC more successfully than most other universities around the world * * * Keeping the legacy I.T. systems going, as back ups, until they're no longer helpful, and taking a distributed approach to software, and to the internet itself, makes sense to me (and it's possible that all ~200 countries' national security systems are taking this approach in one way or another as well) - and what are the Chinese, Swedes, etc. doing in these regards ... ?


Stanford - 'Governance in the Emerging World: National Security'


Dear Captain Hedgecock, Secretary of State George Shultz, General Breedlove, Admiral Roughead and panelists and friends,

Thanks for your excellent "Governance in the Emerging World: National Security" panel conversation - https://events.stanford.edu/events/810/81071/ - yesterday. And very nice to talk with you afterward, Katie, Phil and Gary. I'm writing with the idea of creating an emerging single realistic virtual earth world, and with related questions per your talk yesterday...

So at this hinge time in history, I have a Google Inc. as proxy for a tech company, and a conceptual, question:

Many of you have used a kind of 'chess' metaphor in your comments – and with regard to Russia and China in particular, but also in reference to many more countries re national security in an emerging world.

I would like to ask whether the main game instead would best be, conceptually, the Game of Go?

And ask too: hasn’t the 'west' already won this metaphorical game of Go (starting with computer chips in the 1950s and TCP / IP in the ‘70s – where winning here means surrounding all the other guys' / gals' / countries' pieces and taking them (metaphorically, political, economic, technological, information and idea pieces, etc., by exchanging information and creating knowledge networks / talent in part) as another country is doing the same with your 'pieces' … and thus making possible further planning for US national security in nation states as these develop?

And then I want to question this "Game of Go" thesis dialectally - that the west has won national security with the internet and in the information technology age - and suggest that good security ahead might involve further creating a single realistic virtual earth for everything (am thinking conceptually Google Streetview with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / TensorFlow + as building blocks, and which, in part, may already be in development for national security questions re Google & Stanford).

So conceptually how to plan with this building out of the internet / these information technologies' ideas for national security by creating a single realistic virtual earth VR (am thinking Google Streetview with time slider / Maps / Earth / Tensorflow / Translate +++, and at the cellular and atomic levels too, and with oceans and countries’ territorial boundaries/mapping/modeling – and especially for online great CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric great universities with law and medical schools for peoples in all ~200 countries' languages and with online teaching hospitals for clinical care in all ~200 countries official language including eventual tele-robotic surgery, for ex. – and with individuals as avatar bots, and species' avatar bots, and with evolutionary biology, etc.), including especially the ability to design and produce computer chips, and robotics and all technologies – so for everything - and especially, conceptually, with regard to planning for when such a Google-centric realistic virtual earth as information technology stops, per your comments, Katie … So what would national security / the armed services do if only certain aspects of such information technologies stop - per your question - and which technologies might stop (not have electricity, etc), and how to plan for this?

So, dialectically further, what happens if the west hasn’t won this metaphorical Game of Go (have had also the games of 'Risk" and "Landslide' from the '70s > in mind here - and game metaphors are quite limited in thinking about national security!) with regard to national security and emerging countries, - and how to be ready for when technology stops? In the building out of such a single realistic virtual earth (where the Chinese and Russians could build/develop (e.g. chips and everything) in this too - like they use Google in their countries, albeit a bit transformed potentially with different algorithms etc.), there are innumerable opportunities to plan for information technology developments, to plan for innumerable national security contingencies, and all with an information focus, re the west, and re Google Inc. here conceptually, leading the coding; writing code here is what may be most significant in terms of ongoing innovation.

I ask all this as a professor who teaches a course about information technology, the network society and the global university - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - and also as the founder and president of CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World University and School, which seeks to create major online universities in each of all ~200 countries' official / main languages, and offer free-to-students' online MIT OCW-centric Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. high school degrees (again in ~200 countries' main languages), as well as wiki schools in all 7,097 living languages. Such major online WUaS universities - seeking to become the MIT / Stanford / Harvard of the internet in each of these nation states' official languages - could also have a major impact on "Governance in the Emerging World: National Security" in that WUaS faculty could teach about these questions in all these nation states' languages, for example. And World Univ & Sch also seeks to become a major employer worldwide (possibly hiring as many as 2.2 million people with time, so as big as W-M). See, for example, the MIT OCW and other (eg Yale OYC) 'Governance' and 'Political Science' (your area of study for your Ph.D. at Stanford, Katie) courses here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Governance and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Political_Science - which will eventually be for credit toward online degrees in many nation states' languages, to get a sense of how World Univ & Sch works.

I also ask these questions in heralding a single realistic virtual earth for everything including especially as STEM field sites for scientists, and as classrooms, but also for commerce, economics, aeronautics, ecology, environmental protection, robotics, and developing machine learning itself (think TensorFlow), and therefore potentially addressing again "Governance in the Emerging World: National Security" question - by building this. How might we best communicate about this further?

And Katie, would you be so kind as to forward this to Secretary Shultz and the panelists, if you see fit?

Thank you again for your excellence panel, and very nice to meet some of you.

Sincerely, Scott

As I mentioned to Phil after their panel, and re real real time internet, I think it's Stanford and Google that could bring, for example, an algorithm of quantum computing approach to developing QC more successfully than most other universities around the world.

Captain James Walker (of ocean-going shipping vessels),

Jim (whom I know from growing up in the summers on Cuttyhunk Island, Massachusetts, in the 1970s in particular):

Keeping the legacy I.T. systems going, as back ups, until they're no longer helpful, and taking a distributed approach to software, and to the internet itself, makes sense to me (and it's possible that all ~200 countries' national security systems are taking this approach in one way or another as well) - and what are the Chinese, Swedes, Russians, South Africans, Japanese, Germans, Australians, Argentinians, for ex., doing in these regards actually ... and as the west continues to sell its hardware and software around the world?)  ... Am curious too where MIT robotics' system with block chain thinking is heading re https://www.media.mit.edu/events/symposium-on-blockchain-for-robotics/ - and re security questions and the tanker industry / merchant marines too …  To https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Robotics & https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Machine_Learning … in all ~200 https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States … > #RealisticVirtualEarth ~ @neha (director of MIT DCI re cryptocurrency Qs) ~ #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics ~


Re World University and School and coders/coding, am keeping Stanford / Google / MIT / & potentially Oxbridge in the forefront of my planning & re how we might best communicate further about a SINGLE realistic virtual earth for robotics and blockchain ledger / modeling? (Thinking Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / Tensorflow / Ocean mapping / Robotics / Blockchain ledger / Single cryptocurrency +).

As you may know, Jim, World University and School is like CC-4 MIT OCW in 5 languages with Wikipedia in ~300 languages and seeks to become Harvard / MIT / Stanford / Oxbridge of the internet for online university degrees, including with online law schools in each of all ~200 countries' official languages.

Cheers, Scott

Hi M,

Thanks again for your email yesterday.

Added yet a bit more to this ethics' blog post at the end - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/three-spined-stickleback-searched-on.html - mentioning you re 'Caring and Loving' ethics :)

I suppose one approach to World Univ & Sch outreach will be - https://youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch - and - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch - also accessible from my blog post today ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/calotes-mystaceus-ntfs-non-theist.html ...

Seeking to develop further a list of Scottish small piping tunes with which to create my first CD (online too) - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/eurasian-oystercatcher-check-out-new.html
- tentatively entitled "Honey in the Bag" after one of the tunes that will be on it. I opened an old Word document of tunes I play, which will become the basis of this, and am seeking to add too (and re Brìghde Chaimbeul from Skye's "The Reeling" - listen to the beginning tracks of her CD in The Guardian article, which partly focuses on her drones) & re her drones here, some kind of related resonance of the Tambura in Nikhil Bannerjee's ragas. I often listen to Nikhil Bannerjee's ragas (from the late '60s and 70s in particular, some played in the Netherlands, and Berkeley) on Internet radio heading into and out of Canyon, because they're both beautiful and long (for when I don't have wi-fi internet access in the Canyon valley).

About to hear a panel in a new building at the Stanford Hoover Institute (the "Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace" beginning in 1919 - and Stanford's Herbert Clark Hoover was a Quaker - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Hoover) chaired by Secretary George Shultz and about security in the emerging world, and wonder how I.T. (and even re WUaS) will be considered here - "Governance in the Emerging World: National Security" - https://events.stanford.edu/events/810/81071).

Asked an interesting question in a Stanford  theoretical physics talk earlier today here (see below).

What are you up to this week?

L, Scott


My question at a Stanford theoretical physics' talk - "Gravitational Aspects of Solitons in Cosmology" - https://events.stanford.edu/events/809/80937/:

Have you or anyone worked with these objects – solitons - in Google Poly (which is a library of virtual objects) and even in a movie-to-3D application, where one could begin to research these objects further in different and new ways because encoding them in something like Google Poly would involve further research/physics, - and perhaps then in a realistic virtual earth (am thinking conceptually Google Streetview with time slider / Google Earth / Tensorflow and at the atomic - and cellular – and other scales / levels+)?


And say re Mustafa Amin's concluding slide:

SLIDE

Calotes mystaceus: NtFs? Non-theist f/Friends? Am appreciating both the use of the meditation word, and the river of Quaker experience, that your query suggests, Victor ...

Am appreciating both the use of the meditation word, and the river of Quaker experience, that your query suggests, Victor.

Was impressed too the other day that I could use Zoom video conferencing software seamlessly - and with texting too - from a parking lot of a collection of stores from my quite old Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone with the Android OS ... where Google group video Hangouts don't work that well on my smartphone, even though Google, Android and Sansung are close. ... I'm much more used to using the otherwise excellent Google Hangouts (and they can record to Youtube, an added bonus) so will suss out whether to use Hangouts or Zoom between now and then, and will plan to send a link to this NtF group email list too. (Expect glitches the first time - but this I.T. is getting better by the day).

Perhaps if we meet at 10:15 am Pacific Time / 1:15 ET on Thursday, 3/7, we could invite David Boulton in the British Isles to join the conversation? David?

Perhaps we can meditate in the manner of non-theistic f/Friends for a minute or two together at the beginning of the call.

One beginning place for me re NtF meditation is the relaxation response - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/relaxation%20response - since its focus was on biological 'limbic' response, a kind of inner body releasing action, I might call this as well.

Friendly regards, Scott

Queries we might address on Thursday, March 7 at 10:15 am PT in an open NtF group video call: 


What is Non-theistically Friendly/Quakerly meditation for you (speaking from one's own experience)?

And what is NtF Quaker meeting, as one might envision this, and with regard to meditation, for you (speaking from one's own experience)?

Barclay and other early Friends described meeting for worship as silent waiting on God, and being ready to be led by God's Spirit.  How does this translate in the absence of a belief in God?

Hi Anita, Amanda and NtFs,

We'd schedule a time to meet, and I could send out invitations to a 10 person Google groul video Hangout, which people would then join. These technologies are pretty reliable these days, having seasoned with time. Have you Skyped or used other video conferencing software before by any chance? Shall we schedule a test meeting in a Hangout?

Why not explore a query or two that has been addressed in a Quaker Speak video? Are there any of these in particular that speak to you, Amanda? Or how about talking about how centering down / NtQuaker meeting experiences for us / NtFs might work, perhaps posing a query or two about this? 

Here's a great and fascinating video by Jenny Lykken about Meditation and Google (check out online meditation at Google ideas around 5:45 for example):
