Hi M, 

So so many variables between now and Nov election ... getting out the Latino & Black votes ...could be very helpful.

Open Band was good last night, - and I have the sense after seeing Patti that somehow ethical air in group is clearing (where she has an unique CA read on this) ... she and Bruce, Heather & David are heading with their Humus SCD band to Hawaii for 2 weeks. Barbara Salisbury says she's coming back eventually, and Beth Christian is a good new fiddler. Nice to play in this band.

Lovely day here today and yesterday ... thanks for your email. Waiting on edX call back, having sent in shorter cover letter and resume as second application per Jim Spohrer.

Have a great day, and week.

Love, Scott

PS>
The full name of the Humus is ... the 
"Humuhumunukunukuapua'a & Strathspey Society Band"
Hawaiian-Scottish methinks :)

what does humuhumunukunukuapua'a mean in english?

The reef triggerfish (Rhinecanthus rectangulus), also known as the rectangular triggerfish or by its Hawaiian name humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa (pronounced [ˈhumuˈhumuˈnukuˈnukuˈwaːpuˈwɐʔə], meaning 'triggerfish with a snout like a pig'), also spelled humuhumunukunukuapua'a or just humuhumu for short, is one of several ...

Hallo Dick, Lucy, Alden and Ma, 

After Iowa primary beginnings, this forecast of Democratic presidential caucus is frozen - "Who Will Win The 2020 Democratic Primary?" ... https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-primary-forecast/ - with Biden at the top as having the best odds to win. He seems to me most experienced, skillful - and image-wise too. And while he seems to me to have most potential to win in November, I'm still leaning a bit toward Elizabeth Warren, but am more rooting for the Democrats to win. (The Green Party doesn't seem to be playing much of a role in the Iowa caucuses whatsoever; you can see the caucuses the Green Party will participate in here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Green_Party_presidential_primaries#Primary_and_caucus_calendar - for a bit of an outsider's perspective:). 

There are so so many variables between now and Nov election ... getting out the Latino - https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/01/31/where-latinos-have-the-most-eligible-voters-in-the-2020-election/ especially re Florida - and Black votes would be very helpful - with machine learning / AI especially.

From "Democracy Now" a few days ago: 
Law Professor: Trump Could Also Have Been Impeached for War Crimes, Assassinations & Corruption
Am hoping the world's oldest continuous constitutional democracy votes the b...... out ... :)

What think you?

Have applied for an edX (founded by Harvard and MIT) Director's position, as "Head of Content Strategy and Acquisition." 

Fondly, Scotty

Sounds nice, Ants and Koh ... And hearty congratulations on your new place! Yes ... would like to join you and bagpipe too re Burns' night on 2/1/20 ! ... Am seeking to have made, by January 31st, a first recording of all the tunes that I plan to create my first Scottish small pipes album with, tentatively entitled "Honey in the Bag" (on CD and as a compilation of mp3s with blockchain or similar too) ... and will perhaps record every month until May or June ... when I hope to produce fully my 'Honey in the Bag' album. So piping on Saturday with you - and with everyone making music too - sounds good. Thanks for this nice invitation. See you soon. Cheers, Scott

(recorded my first eight tunes in these regards, as a first run through)

Great ... 

Hanneke Cassel from Oregon, living in the Boston area plays in a Scottish or Cape Breton style - 
https://youtu.be/nApCGfwiwpY - and is very inspiring (and a good teacher as well - 
https://youtu.be/YQQVXMwq0j0) ... has worked with SF's Alasdair Fraser (who's a Scot and a hippie:) ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanneke_Cassel ... (check out her discography and her web site as well ... and some videos further) .

Besides a jig, 'Honey in the Bag,' refers probably to a very early form of seasoning leather pipe bags (like sheepskin or elk hide, both of which I had on my GHBs growing up ...) And when your drone reeds fell into the GHB bag, seasoned with Hardie's Airtight Seasoning for many a pipe - https://www.carolinacelt.com/catalog/images/BAGS-AIRTIGHT.jpg - they got mucky-mucked up ... Synthetic drone reeds with Goretex bags on GHB these days are freed from Honey in the Bag. And now with my Scottish small pipes, the reeds and bags are a different beast altogether, with no seasoning needed! Honey in the Bag is also the magic of piping I suppose ... :) 

Am applying for an edX position - and re MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch - which would be based in Boston with 30-50% travel so maybe I'll learn from Hanneke ...

Family History and Genetics


Mark, 

I found this interesting that Venter suggests that we can predict from your genetic code your picture (at 18 minute mark) -

Redesigning Longevity - Craig Venter - 2018
https://youtu.be/3ttt8HMQgAE

Using machine learning, see if we could predict from your genetic code your picture (at 18 minute mark)

... and especially re a Realistic Virtual Earth and with Avatar Bots (which World Univ & SC is heralding) ... and a Realistic Virtual Earth for Genetics - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click - with more here in this and related Twitter #HashTags which I've posted re Harvard / MIT Prof of Genetics' George Church's remarkable genetics' research that age is reversible, by adding genes! 

Some new finds: WikiTree doesn't do DNA testing, and this is how it thinks of this - 


WikiTree is proving to be a useful source for Sarah Bolles history and marriage to Humphrey Chadbourne, for ex. - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bolles-66 ....

Thanks for this. Very interesting.

I like the wiki advice on DNA tests. I think I was trying to express what they put more eloquently:

"Moreover, your matches can help you do something incredible: scientifically confirm your family tree. You think you know who your ancestors are. Now you can prove it, because your DNA is their DNA"

Mark

Mark, 

Yay for the science of genetics regarding genealogy, and your paper, "Using DNA to gain insights into our MacLeod family history 1-29-20 by Mark MacLeod draft" !

3 Cheers, Scott

Family history thread continued (from 7/12/2019 - 2/4/2020)

Hi All, Edith, Sandy, Alden, Janie, Mark, Browns, MacLeods and related families!

Here is the beginning of a new family genealogy email exchange thread.

Am finding further fascinating DNA developments re family genealogy questions. And am not clear yet whether my mother has sent in her AncestryDNA kit yet, or not, which she got for Christmas. (This email thread is up to 102 emails, so am beginning a new thread soon - 'Family history thread continued (from 7/12/2019 - 2/4/2020)' )

But first, I just connected on Ancestry .com Sarah Bolles to a Humphrey Chadbourne (and my mother's father was Alexander Chadourne Brown, aka Sandy Brown - in this same Chadbourne line) - and found this again: that Sarah Bolles' line can go back in a direct line to King Edward I of England -

Sarah Bolles has a well-established royal descent,  being descended from Edward I, King of England (1272-1307 ) and many earlier Kings of England, Scotland and France, as authenticated in Ancestral Roots of Sixty Colonists, by Frederick Lewis Weis, 6th Edition [1988] compiled by Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr. Joseph was bpt at Worksop, Nottinghamshire, 29 Feb 1608, son of Thomas, Esq. and Elizabeth (Perkins) Bolles of Oberton  Manor.

- which I had seen before, but which now would be interesting to see in a family tree, and which may be easier to see in WikiTree than in Ancestry.com. (Sarah Bolles in Ancestry .com - - https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/162331043/person/252115062505/story - and in WikiTree - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bolles-66 .... )


I also found it interesting that geneticist Craig Venter, who first mapped the human genome in 2000 (along with Francis Collins at the NIH - in 2 separate projects, and 3 years ahead of the projected completion date, thanks to computing), suggests that we can predict from your genetic code your picture (at 18 minute mark) -

Am glad too that Erica Blanton, newly in our email group and daughter of Karen Leighty, is doing genealogy in Ancestry. com too - ekleighty - https://www.ancestry.com/account/profile/013a8225-0001-0000-0000-000000000000 - !

And Mark MacLeod has recently shown via DNA evidence that the MacLeod name comes from the Isle of Raasay in the north of Scotland / the Highlands:

"In particular, I show that my great great-grandfather James MacLeod came from the Isle of Raasay in Scotland. His parents were Norman MacLeod and Isobel MacKenzie and the family emigrated to Prince Edward Island, Canada in 1839" (unpublished, still in draft form, 2020 paper).

Fascinating, Mark! - and thank you!

Cheers, Scott
