What Languages are Spoken in China?

How many languages are there in China?

Officially, there are 302 living languages in China. Depending on your definition of “language” and “dialect,” this number can vary somewhat.

The number of speakers of many of China’s minority languages and dialects has decreased in recent years, and some of them are now considered endangered. That said, however, China remains a land of impressive linguistic diversity.

Cheers to you, Stuart, and Inveraray and District Pipe Band!

Some further 'brainstorming' regarding Piobaireachd and piping - 

Stuart, 

As I find further tunes that are enjoyable to play melodically somehow (in contrast to the radical beauty of some 'out there' old Piobaireachd classical Scottish Bagpiping music in their somehow lack of musicality to my ear, but still radically beautiful nevertheless, and find good 'training wheels' (recordings) to play with, there's a 'flow' - absorbed mind - that comes... but some good recordings are less perfect than others... And I'm looking for this music too to somehow lead in uplifting life directions. Nevertheless, finding a few further enjoyably melodic Piobaireachd for the upcoming album has merit... Aiming for beauty too, navigating perfection and related technique goals in the process...

Thoughts on this - as one of the greatest pipers in the world, and for this leaner? 

Best regards, best wishes, 
Scott

PS
Am beginning a list of favorite melodic Piobaireachds to my ear, from about 315 tunes, and even seeking to rank them, here - 

Piobaireachd most beautiful pieces of the extant ~ 315 pieces ...


Thoughts, questions, ideas, suggestions? What would your list of 20 most melodic Piobaireachd be, Stuart? :)

Dear Jim, 

Thanks so much for this further information. 

In summary, at the new WUaS 'Expertise' wiki page -  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Expertise - 

'Added the ISSIP Future of Expertise conference URL, video URL, and White Paper URL'

So this resource in the wiki 'edit mode' now reads - 

The Future of Expertise. 2022. [https://youtu.be/1eq9cwq0I7c The Future of Expertise]. June 29. www.youtube.com/user/ISSIPorg Future of Expertise White Paper: https://service-science.info/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Future-of-Expertise-20220708-v1.pdf. Accessed online. International Society of Service Innovation Professionals (ISSIP): issip.org/future-of-expertise-jun-29th/.

Am curious in what ways WUaS can begin to hire people with expertise to grow with. Here's where I blogged about the 'Future of Expertise' initially - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/06/c-elegans.html - right after the video conference, and I'm particularly interested in the potentially upcoming new WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute, potentially on the ridge in Canyon California 94516, how WUaS might hire Physical-Digital AI genetics' experts in 10 model organisms - and who might be interested in service science as well. Thoughts? 

Thank you

Best wishes, Scott

Soaking at Buckeye hot springs, east of the Sierra mountains, on Sunday morning, July 10, 2022, after coming down from the 

Pacific Crest Trail PCT at Sonora pass California


Dear Ma, David, All, 


Just want to share a little further about our morning soak in yesterday's BuckeyeHotSprings East of the Sierra mountains, which reminded me in its initial long silence of a Quaker Meeting but in warm water in a natural free hot springs and next to a beautiful river. When we eventually started sharing in words, I was also reminded of Friends Meeting, but here people were sharing ideas from their own experiences and lives - and the warm water soaking seemed to have informed expressing from a kind of openness of people's natural selves who had never met before and after a kind of natural quiet meditation drawn to hot springs for our own reasons... Out of our own  inner releasing leadings. 

Here's the text message I shared with a wonderful friend soon after finishing soaking for about 3 hours and in response to his timely text message inquiry -

Scott -

It's beautiful here too and just after a long soak in silence with 3-4 guys starting at about 5:50am in BuckeyeHotSprings then some interesting insights and sharing, trippy and visionary, the guy who was there from the beginning, last name Fraser (a retired firefighter from Long Beach, and who bore a slight resemblance to David Thurston) was talking with a beautiful woman from Texas via Nevada and working in the Student Conservation Corps on trails in the high Sierra this summer... And they were talking about RIDGECREST (in the Owens' Valley... And I lived on Ridgecrest Rd in beautiful Canyon 94516... Coincidence? Could be a sign of damage... Long 3 hour soak ... Wild .... May explore sheep dip or crab cooker hot springs next before hiking to Lake Latopie possibly at 10000 feet 5 miles in south from the Sonora pass and back (,or part thereof) ... Very little smoke in the air from fire damage... Thanks to David Thurston :) ... No life partner on the horizon but quite a few beautiful women in the pools... Gives me insight into who and how to talk further with the woman I meet to connect with:) Love and big hugs, and hope you have a great weekend!


A little smoke in the evening and almost none this morning and I'm curious if you could confirm please that you're getting the 'Big Hugs ' emails and thread I've sent to both your .gov email re government legal processes working together with state of California, and your Yahoo email ADDRESS regarding the possibility of miscommunication with information technology and electronic communication. 🙏 Thank you Biggest hugs to you, Scott 


Hi T,  There was a lot of smoke on Sonora pass surprisingly and compared to none yesterday at 9600 feet, so I didn't hike south toward Lake Latopie .... Maybe in a few weeks.. how are you doing And thanks again for your texts ❤️ Scott 

(And from the evening before -

Hi! About 5 miles on a dirt road to Buckeye hot springs on the east side of the Sierra mountains, I feel so lucky that no one is here, and am in a cast open landscape of mountain and ranch lands on a promontory just before darkness and it's kind of undiscovered, 5 hours drive the SF Bay Area... So much beautiful east of the Sierra mountains openness Wow! Let's visit this together sometime soon... Soon to soak in the hot springs and then car camp. How are you doing today? Fond regards, Scott {with picture of desert scrub open land in direction of the hot springs but not the vast plain}

A vast plain below, - in an ancient world of Britain, armies could be massing on this ready to do battle, - but your adventurous slightly hippy minded & Yogic Universitian friend, instead, is camping out in the back of his too small vehicle, back hatch open to see the plain and the mountains in the morning esp, and to dangle the feet, and then to soak in the morning esp (a meditation in the quiet early hours), having passed the hot springs, checking them out about 45 minutes ago:) (Might I meet my friend and life partner to be, for 3 kids, in the morning? T,:) How are you doing? I hope you are doing well. Happy weekend! Scott 




Scott, continuing -

So what else?


Concluded out of the pool around 9 with Fraser (from Long Beach fire department) and Don Anderson (retired from fire department east of San Diego) and my asking "Meet here in 1000 years, on July 9 or 10th, maybe?" .... And Don saying"Maybe" we had been talking a lot about the genetic engineering revolution in the Buckeye hot springs pool in different ways...

So in the year 3022 on July 10 ... barring earthquake reshape of hot springs' water, etc


I first saw Fraser on the other side of the river with his black dog with white chest Loki, and then crossing the river with ski poles and sandals, fording it by facing upstream as he traversed the somewhat well flowing water,  Loki remaining on the far side for about the next 2 1/2 hours. 


In the pool, Fraser first lay down head on a rock, feet under the little cave of the springs, facing the substantial 4 foot deep 4 foot high rounded grotto undercut potentially by the hot water trickling down from the rock formations above. Early on Fraser put his head under this hot trickle that possibly extended 2-3 feet wide as it descended the rock formation above. Another man, possibly of Hawaiian background came in the pool, with many great tattoos widespread all over his body. (Later I wondered if he could be a firefighter from Southern California too, after learning that Fraser and Anderson were retired firefighters from southern California.  


It was a comment Fraser made about cock fighting still possibly going on in Hawaii after I had mentioned this awful sport -: pitting rooster against rooster, now illegal - in US states that may have used a form of genetic selection over the centuries. Anderson had mentioned a Russian science experiment with foxes where over 3 generations only friendly pups were selected for - as a way to explain why Labs (Labrador retrievers) and Anderson had a Chocolate Lab named Charlie are so friendly. I had asked if the Russians had continued this experiment over 10 or 50 generations and Don said they didn't need to (presumably because they thought they had proven something scientifically - as. a fireman for 32 years, not having read that much science). I said that science is fascinating in how it differs in all 200 countries and regions too. (And this would make fascinating anthropology science Studies' papers And books and even in a realistic virtual earth for history and STEM). Russian science seems to explore a lot and take 'fliers' experimenting... Whereas good American science seems to prove things and explain how and why the experiment proves something.

I mentioned BF Skinner, a Harvard professor - 'schedules of reinforcement' - animal behaviorism, and George Church, a professor at Harvard Medical School and at MIT, whose thinking about aging reversal I talked some about, and Kevin Esvelt a MIT Professor focusing on SCULPTING evolution in his laboratory and research 

(Was our 3 hours in the Buckeye hot springs' warm pool, by the river, recorded somehow - in multiple ways even (e.g. with my smartphone in my jean's pocket, and in other ways)?)
