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"?
Heard an amazing Master class this morning at Stanford with Scot Alasdair Tait who lives in London - so fast, so insightful, such great interactive metaphors for the amazing mostly student Stanford chamber musicians he was working with. Hope to be in touch further with him about World Univ & Sch's Music school - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Music_School. He's also a psychodynamic psychotherapist his Wikipedia article said - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alasdair_Tait - and he was amazing today in the SLSQ CHAMBER MUSIC SEMINAR: Opening Masterclass - https://events.stanford.edu/events/841/84168/ - he gave.
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.
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 piping CD next year in addition to lessons. (https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1142668500667785222 too).
Piping lessons at National Piping Centre with Finlay MacDonald, head of Piping Studies there (

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/1141391978082553856 - 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

Hi Yasser,
Thanks for your excellent talk ... https://events.stanford.edu/events/841/84184/ ...

"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.

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
"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
"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
