Hi M and Alden,

This Tweet by the Chancellor of the new UC Merced - https://twitter.com/UCM_Chancellor/status/1009547620266545152 - is what I mentioned yesterday on the phone, as a possible model for World University and School, organizationally, Ma.

Tweeted this about it:

University of California has 10 UCs including the new UC @ucmerced Great model for ~200 WUaS universities online in ~200 countries' official/main languages https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States… Each will probably have a Foundation https://twitter.com/UCM_Chancellor/status/1009547620266545152… > https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation… meeting online

- https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1009826012434083847 (and similarly and in a parallel way on the WUaS Corp side - https://twitter.com/WUaSPress/status/1009828733933445120).

So WUaS would seek to generate a Thai WUaS Foundation online, a Japanese one, a Swedish one, etc.

Creating startup universities isn't easy, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed about the NSF grant I'm currently applying for.


"Stewardship plan,""advocacy" and "philanthropy" (two from UC Merced chancellor Dorothy Leland's Tweet) are four words that come to mind to help bring together such WUaS Foundations, perhaps in reaching out to potential further Founders to sit around the proverbial table. Could even do some hikes to help focus such groups ... as great and virtuosic bagpiper Stuart Liddell did on the West Highland Way with some IDPB pipers in 2008 -

Noticed too a Tweet from 2014 mentioning you, Alden - https://twitter.com/fundraiser_mag/status/515504756945866753

Hi Patti,

Possibly would be open to playing in a Friday night open band.

Don't want to set off my cat allergies this Saturday with kitties.

Lack of monies is still a big issue for me, so I wouldn't be interested in asking open band to contribute in other ways than we're already doing (and there were 4 full sets - 32 dancers - last Monday with Bruce teaching, but this isn't always the case).

When my financial situation changes, would be interested in exploring lessons with you ... toward 2 hand SCD (and blues) and so much more ... and also Scottish small pipes for SCD (2nd chanter in D +).

Found these interesting practicing articles / book by ...

- Stephanie Burns (with specific focus on piping)



- Christina Carter

- Anastasia Tsioulcas

- Noa Kageyama

... which I added here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Practicing_-_Playing_a_Musical_Instrument

Thank you for the lovely musical focus ... and curious to explore further kinds of bliss generation in creative ways (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Loving_Bliss_(eliciting_this_neurophysiology)) in these regards, and re https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_Country_Dancing music-making and dancing.

Thank you.

Xo,

Scott

Ed,

Very nice to see you and L again at Scottish Country dancing this evening in SF.

Will check out Peter May further ... (https://cenes.ubc.ca/people/edward-mornin/)

You might find interesting these developing wiki subjects for open teaching and learning at World University and School:

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_Country_Dancing

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic_language

Looking forward to staying in touch.

Regards,
Scott

Coincidentally, Ed,

it looks like I'm already following Peter May on Twitter from https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand. (Twitter's a generative process for me these days, and some Tweets get into my blog here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/ - which is also a creative process (and eclectic), and re World University and School especially; there's a bagpiping 'label' - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/bagpiping - for example).

Cheers, Scott

Thanks, Ed, for your email.

You might enjoy the film here "Piping The Way - Stuart Liddell West Highland Way Bagpipe Film" ... https://youtu.be/p1GR8qQulx4 (which I've only seen a little bit of) and which is also accessible here https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/06/plegadis-chihi-university-of-california.html in my blog post today. Stuart is one of my very favorite pipers these days, and I noticed he recently started his own Twitter profile - https://twitter.com/PMStuartLiddell/status/972056802127962112 - which you'll also find currently at the top here - https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand. I really enjoyed Stuart Liddell's humorous and instructive "The Ascension of Inveraray & District Pipe Band - 2004-2013" too - https://youtu.be/wbikiMAjhDM - and IDPB won the Worlds last year.

I looked up Peter May's "The Blackhouse" in WorldCat, and it looks like there are a few libraries around me which have this book e.g. - https://www.worldcat.org/title/blackhouse-a-novel/oclc/861323241&referer=brief_results.

Lorraine McIntosh's "Freedom Come All Ye" is beautiful. Thanks. Looking around for documentaries of Hamish Henderson as well. (While here's one - https://youtu.be/5dRlhpvXlRE - there's been one by the BBC too).

Have a great weekend, as well. (About a week ago, I just drove from Portland, Oregon, then Yakima, then near Medical Springs NE Oregon through Idaho, back into eastern Oregon, then into Nevada, and then through the Sierras to the Bay Area - the way you're heading soon, I think, and farther east than "The Dalles"; I have family who live in NE Oregon). Hope to see you soon, as well - if not this trip, then the next time you're here. Maybe see you online as well.  On with Scottish small piping here (there are a few Piping pages for open teaching and learning at World University - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Bagpipe_Tutorials - and see the Select WUaS Links' section part way down) ... hoping to get into making recordings eventually.

Best wishes, Scott
