Essay collection, Let it Fly with the Flowers--edited by me.
https://www.amazon.com/Let-Fly-Flowers-Institute-Economics/dp/1514616378
Prof. Dr Aye Hlaing
Founder and first Rector, Institute of Economics, Rangoon, Burma.
I am now happily re-typing and editing U Aye Hlaing's Ph.D. dissertation for re-publication.
The pdf of the original typescript is in very bad shape, some of the letters indistinct, and Saya Aye Hlaing said so many important things (about Burma) that deserve to be read by a wider audience.
I am also going to set up a Go Fund Me to finance this project.
Ideally, it needs a custom cover which will cost about USD 500 for -ebook cover + for soft cover book cover wrap.
So please, reach into yr pockets and pledge or send some small amount to me.
The Go Fund Me will be ready in a few days.
You can start by buying some of my previous publications.
Every little bit helps.
Thank you.

Special post--Nana Mouskouri sings Va Pensiero, in French. Paris Opera House.
The
opulence of the French court always makes my flesh crawl, all based on
oppression and empire, but I would like once in my life to hear/watch an
opera, perhaps The Magic Flute, in that opera house.
Many shots of exterior and interior of Paris Opera House.

Sharks + Covid-19--It's up to you to keep yourself healthy and alive.
Some off ventilators have still not regained consciousness
Don't
let down your guard and don't go out. We are going to have a 2nd peak,
and the peaks take months to get down, see NY experience.
In
2 weeks, Covid positives from all the thousands of demonstrators will
increase again. New York state has greatly increased testing
facilities--but check testing sites in yr own states.
The bottom line is protect yourself and don't go out unnecessarily.
If
you are "bored" yr "boredom" might be alleviated by being caught in a
violent incident in a demonstration, or having a nasty case of
coronavirus, dying, and not even knowing family members have also
died--and they are all "can't breathe" painful deaths on ventilators.
cheers,

Warning, graphic, incident yesterday when 75 year old pushed in Buffalo, NY, by police.
Prompt action has been taken. Victim is in stable but serious condition.
BTW, unrelated, the snack Buffalo Wings (chicken wings with blue cheese sauce)
was invented in Buffalo, NY, near Niagara Falls.
Nothing to do with water buffalo or bison.
