Giam Kanching (Hopea subalata): "Join a network of almost 600 Old Fettesians on Fettes Community," Biggest busy-ness is the writing of a daily blog post, I suppose - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/bagpiping - with much envisioning of MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, planned in ~200 countries' official languages, and in all 7,117 known living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning * "Dear Scott, Very exciting developments. Are you still playing pipes? ..." * Impressive that your son is Editor in Chief of Edinburgh University student paper. (Let's stay in touch about the WUaS Universitian student newspaper * * I began this WUaS Newspaper - The MIT OpenCourseWare Daily - some years ago in the free Paper.li - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1257484405582503936?s=20 - and now it posts daily to WUaS on Twitter with, importantly, the MIT OCW licensing clarifications, that WUaS is building upon. AMAZING > the name, the daily posting, the images, and the contacts and #hashtags, and while I think it's partly AI generated, I also think there's a person behind this, and I don't know who! :) * Am reading many newspapers these days online, in the coronavirus pandemic, Andrew - and Google Translate is making reading many non-English papers accessible

I hope your son might pick up the pipes again, if that would be enjoyable - and with you? Is he still boxing as well? 

Best regards, Scott

Scottish small pipes are playable in a town house! -

Impressive that your son is Editor in Chief of Edinburgh University student paper. (Let's stay in touch about the WUaS Universitian - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_%22Universitian%22_Newspaper_at_WUaS - planned in all ~200 countries' official / main langauges, and with some machine translation). 

I began this WUaS Newspaper - The MIT OpenCourseWare Daily - some years ago in the free Paper.li - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1257484405582503936?s=20 - and now it posts daily to WUaS on Twitter with, importantly, the MIT OCW licensing clarifications, that WUaS is building upon.

Brainstorming-wise, start a Paper.li for your publishing endeavors? For the Edinburgh University student newspaper? 

Cheers, Scott 

Am reading many newspapers these days online, in the coronavirus pandemic, Andrew - and Google Translate is making reading many non-English papers accessible - the Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, and Dutch ones, for example - https://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/news.html#record - but many other German newspapers especially (since I know German - and to improve my German as well; the media landscape too in German papers is much more (Goethe-?) grounded in reason, in my experience, than online USA papers! ).

A documentary in the Malay language about one of the most rarest tree ("Hopea Subalata" or "Giam/Merawan Kanching" - Scientific name / or known as in the Malay language) which can ONLY be found in the forests of Peninsular Malaysia, no where else in the world. It is now categorized in the "Endangered Specie".

A documentary project done by my wife in Malaysia.
