To http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Native_Americans and http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Native_American_Languages at World University and School ... don't know the history yet of how First Nations' people (Canada), American Indians got the name Indians, and similarly how folks in India, and re Yoga, got the name Indians ... Glad World University is planned for all 7,099 living languages ... :)

"Representatives from 623 indigenous groups, or an estimated crowd of up to 4,000, are expected to attend the gathering Sept. 11-14 at the Edmonton Expo Centre.

Ten Alberta indigenous groups are working together on the event, and have invited leaders from 623 First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities to participate in the gathering, which will provide an opportunity to discuss issues like reconciliation and climate change and learn about other indigenous cultures and histories."

In what ways could Yogis join this dance? :) ... The electrical grid playing jump rope - and shaking the earth? 
... Gives me hope for animating photos, and transforming film into interactive 3D virtual worlds (and for design too!) in developing a realistic virtual earth (conceptually like Google Streetview / Maps / Earth with TIME SLIDER and group build-able like OpenSim/SL - in all 8,000 languages) ... To the wiki "Virtual Worlds" subject page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Virtual_Worlds - for open teaching and learning at World University and School ...

Originally shared by Siva Kumar
One should meditate upon the Supreme Person as the one who knows everything, as He who is the oldest, who is the controller, who is smaller than the smallest, who is the maintainer of everything, who is beyond all material conception, who is inconceivable, and who is always a person. He is luminous like the sun, and He is transcendental, beyond this material nature.

"Magic MIcrophone with Mobile Speaker" continuing (for Yoga as well ...) ...

In terms of a mobile speaker which - "gets really loud" - here's an idea - and app called "AmpMe," available for iOS and Android
- for networking mobile speakers, which are a collection of smartphones ...

"How to Turn a Few Phones Into a Legit Sound System"
https://www.wired.com/2015/09/turn-handful-phones-speaker-system-app/

It's still not a single amplifying mobile speaker for one musical instrument at a gig, such as what I'm looking for for my Scottish small pipes, but perhaps I'll find a way to make a single amplifying smartphone mic with speaker to become as loud as needed for a gig in a winery in multiple locations, and over a mile or two with slight wind.

Scots' First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is speaking on Tuesday at noon at Stanford ... http://fsi.stanford.edu/events/nicola-sturgeon ... and this will be live-streamed, if any of you are interested.

Musical cheers,
Scott

The mystery of the "Magic Microphone with Mobile Speaker" still unsolved - and especially for roving bands of island minstrels (hoping for a form factor of an 8 inch radiant paper star - feather weight and like a speaker's bass woofer - which we can wear on each of our chests - not sure where the D batteries would go) - I'm wondering ...

What is this dance that James Boswell on the Isle of Skye on 2 Oct 1773 called "America"? http://www.scotlandnow.dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/heritage/scottish-clans-story-behind-macleod-3654716

Linda? David?

Is it a Scottish Country Dance? ... https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand/status/847139337422553089 ...

Carl MacDougall's clan histories are great - any relation, Lorne?

Musical cheers,

In what ways can WIKI World University and School create a different learning culture than this - and in all nation states - and at the high school, college, Ph.D., as well as online law and medical school levels - and in group video and in an emerging realistic virtual earth designed for learning?

MMmmm, the relaxation response - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Relaxation_Response - re "silent counting" - which R.R. is meditation - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Meditation(some of which biological effects were analyzed by work on the Relaxation_Response and book by this name) - ... Anger is a challenging human emotion ... Appreciating too your Texas hippy in 2017 approaches to freedoms of meditation ... Thanks, +Jessica Mullen ! :))
Originally shared by Jessica Mullen
I am a big believer in silent counting to step away from anger and irritation, and love using mantras like “I love myself” when I’m feelin’ perky. But the other day I was sick of trying to wrangle my thoughts. I was tired of forcing myself to think one way or another. So I gave up!

Instead of silent counting or repeating mantras, I reminded to myself all day yesterday: “Be the observer.” At first, I could barely discern what I was thinking because the thoughts were happening so fast. It felt like trying to hold onto a raindrop in a hurricane. But I persisted because I didn’t want to be the fucking thought police.

“Be the observer,” I kept reminding myself. And instead of getting all pissed off with each negative thought that popped up, I started feeling compassion for myself. They were just thoughts! I didn’t have to take them so seriously! I could just

LET

THEM

GO

And it brought me this childlike playfulness I hadn’t felt in a long time. The spaces between the thoughts got longer, and I felt like I could breathe again—like I had found an energy source inside me I forgot about. Of course I’ve been feeling drained lately! I’ve been in a mental hurricane! But when I choose to be the observer, I become the peaceful eye of the storm.
