Is this #HarvardMedicalSchool lab getting #QuakerEarlhamCollege students learning about #AgingReversal #ReversalMechanism? ~ thread


Dear Dick, Ma, Lucy, Ann, Alden, Sandy, All, 

 
If you want to envision what the new mRNA might look like at the molecular level as it courses through your body now after getting vaccinated, in an image from MIT, and from one of its most creative scientists, check this out - 

Now why couldn't we - in this genetic engineering revolution (and during the Covid-19 pandemic) - have developed and rushed to Tom Moore an anti-dying vaccine re what happens genetically at death, I wonder?

(viewable for free in the free, 'private,' Tor browser - https://www.torproject.org/)

A bit behind the aging reversal curve still, I'd say :)

Love, Scott

Season's Greetings 2021 with more about aging reversal - and potentially to muscles I think! ~

Hi Rob, David


Nice to talk, Rob!

(Interestingly, Twitter just introduced a feature that pops people up to the top of the smartphone Twitter screen - allowing me to unfollow them, if I so choose, which I'm doing; are they all illegals somehow - could be - and which other large social media companies never built in as a feature, but could even FB's MZ have suggested to Twitter's JD that this would be a good idea for Twitter, and could Twitter have learned from other's mistakes? C'est possible ... all speculatively ... am tuning into ethics' questions in a variety of ways regarding the information technology revolution and society even - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethics and see /Society and IT label too:).

Thanks for talking! 

Regards, Scott
How to integrate science into a developing single realistic virtual earth - 
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/science - I wonder? And even on our smartphones - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click - and even eventually also for editing our own DNA, as well as experimentation :) ?

SGKMacLeod family history

Seeking to develop avatar bots of our ancestors - for PEOPLE - moving around a realistic virtual earth for history and genetics, with whom we can eventually talk to even -  

People? Re #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital you & I with #AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords in 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth? #FilmTo3D into #GooglePoly for #WUaSAvatarBots #ArtificialHumans #SamsungNeons #RealisticVirtualEarthForAvatarBots for 1< >1 #RealisticVirtualEarthForSurgery? ~

https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1333071451503648770?s=20

Will we be even able to edit these avatar bots' DNA for aging reversal, and upload the results to ourselves, our own mRNA, for example (since my mother, over 75, just got her first of two covid-19 pandemic shots ... even if it might be only for one of the many viruses that make up the common cold, but also in case of emergency, - and even to become familiar with putting new DNA into our bodies, and the process for getting it there too:)? 

Thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions? 

I hope this is finding all of you well. 

Sincerely, Scott

online piano ~


Dear Lucy, Cherry, Ma, Sandy, All,


Glad to be starting online piano lessons with Patti Cobb tomorrow thanks to a wonderful gift from my mother. Patti's the lead piano player in Open Band (Berkeley) for Scottish Country Dancing, and in which band I've played for some years, both bass lines on keyboard, and more recently Scottish Small Pipes. Here's how I'm thinking about them. Thoughts, questions, ideas, suggestions - from you seasoned musical pros? :)

Am appreciating your musical energies much from days of yore! !!!! :))

Fondly, Scott

Piano - Tilden park pic near the Seaview Trail T bench, looking toward SF & GG bridge




Hi Patti, 


Thanks - glad you're teaching - and that we're having a piano lesson tomorrow online!  

And sounds good - let's explore 30 minutes tomorrow, and maybe I'll head to an hour in the future; I'm grateful to my mother for this nice opportunity to take piano lessons with you. :) I'm not comfortable with PP at all, having a bunch of questions about their keeping the security of their users in mind, with some recent issues in these regards with a piping student of mine. Not sure about Venmo but it's likely not built with too much end user security in mind either; would you be up for setting up Zelle? This has worked well in recent months with a student, and works for money transfer between 2 different banks, for example. Set up was easy. We could further set up Zelle after the lesson tomorrow. The phone number I use for this is 412 ... .... at WF. What phone number do you use for your piano tuition bank? After each lesson, you'd send me a request, and I'd then transfer the money.

In terms of a specific focus tomorrow, re what I'm looking at, and creatively, can we begin with piano please with some Scottish Country Dance sheet music, from the SCD books, and my playing these on the piano more fluently? And, further, could we even begin to explore developing some of these piano pieces, say in the key of D major, with 2 SSP chanters in A mixolydian in mind, and potentially playing harmony together, - and even eventually for jamming (not necessarily with the Allman Bros in 1973 yet, but perhaps, brainstorming-wise, by finding some of the SCD tunes on Youtube in D, somehow even in a rock and roll transcription or not, for single chanter jamming)? And how to develop further fluency with two hand piano playing of SCD sheet music re - http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm (beyond my brain doesn't work this way, since I was 6-12 yo :) ?

INSPIRATION - SCD ear candy

1 Seek out private instruction.

2 Write out a schedule, a plan with goals. (Choose pieces you enjoy playing – S.M.).
Yo-yo Ma says, never make a sound without hearing it first; hear it in your mind.

3 Set goals to chart development.



and, where 
2 might be slightly faster 2 hand fluency each week, and - hearing the pieces in mind (interesting exploration :)

3 tempo goals for increasing fluency (since this worked with metronome for my first Scottish Small Pipes''Honey in the Bag' album ... might explore drum metronomes too:) - with specific expressive goals too, which somehow 'rock' SCD-wise? 


Am also looking at Tilden and the beautiful SF Bay Area around us - re picture and walk!

And might I possibly please also send you a Google Meet video conference link instead, from - sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandshcool.org - so I can record and save these for future learning ? :)

Thank you,
Scott

The learning ideas above are implicit in these idea blobs from yesterday - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/salvia-columbariae.html :)




Hi Scott,

Sorry, was in a zoom meeting when you called and then teaching. 

Yes, 11 Wednesday is great, and 1/2 hour is fine. My rates (which have not changed for years) are usually:

   1 hour = $50
3/4 hour = $40
1/2 hour = $30

Does that work OK for you? 

And I am happy getting payment either from Venmo (an app which does not charge a fee) or PayPal - and you just say you are sending money to a friend with PayPal and, viola, no fee. I am, after all, a friend, yes? I use pkcobb23@gmail.com for them.

I have never used Zelle, but am willing to try it if you are more comfortable with that than the other two options. 

Your link gives me a big blob of stuff - not sure specifically which you are looking at? And I shall set up a Zoom meeting and invite you, OK?

Patti

Scottish Smallpipe Lessons' Question (continued)


Taylor, here's a previous mention of the Pink and the Blue SCD books, and re - 


By the way, if SSP chanter duets emerge in playing piano with Patti, and regarding the pink and blue SCD books, here again are where you can get Liz Donaldson's Pink and Blue books' sheet music - http://www.potomacvalleyscottishfiddle.org/public/webstore.html ... :) They're nice settings, and they are in the keys of all 3 SSP chanters I think, or adaptable for these too, so a great source in these regards too :)


Am wondering too how the Kinnaris Quintet gets to this 5 part seems to be remote playing (and even regarding this FM add on idea for these 2 choirs, one a UU choir): 



Cheers, Scott
