Lets Go Publish! is pleased to have Brian W. Kelly under exclusive contract. Kelly is the most published non-fiction book author in the entire world.
My Red Hat Keeps Me on the Ground!
Cross Country with the Parents!
Brian Kelly has written One Hundred Ninety-six books so far in his short life. Brian is currently working on his 197th book, which remains untitled as of today. Feel free to go to amazon.com/author/brianwkelly or to Kindle if, you would like to review most of Brian Kelly's books. Any one of these books would make a great addition to your personal library. I bet you'll like it! They also make great Birthday and Christmas and just plain party Gifts—especially the College and Pro Sports books.
Most of Brian's Lets Go Publish! books are now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kindle. Kindle downloads are much less expensive. Brian set the price on many of his recent Kindle offerings substantially lower than the paperback versions. so more people can enjoy them. 99 cents is the lowest price on Kindle. Since Kelly signed up for the match program, some books are actually free on Kindle when you buy the hard copy (paperback) from Amazon. Whatever is easier for you.
Books in this document are presented in last published to first published sequence. Newer books are available on Amazon and Kindle as well as Barnes & Noble and other fine book sellers. Again, feel free to try amazon.com/author/brianwkelly for a complete list of books available on Amazon and Kindle. If you like a book that is in our archived area close to book 1 in the list below, give us a call or send us a note and we'll see if we can find it for you. We have an ample supply of older books not published on Amazon..
Brian still cannot believe he has written so much in his life, and he thanks God that he is still feeling well.
Almost all of Brian's books are first run. Some are enhancements of Classics such as "The Land of Fair Play." And others are great reading for parents to lull their children to sleep at night. Lets Go Publish!, the publisher of most of these works, once used a local printer and so when he began to use Amazon, Kelly sometimes changed the shape of the books from Lets Go Publish standards of the day to meet the better 6" X 9" printing scheme, which Amazon likes to use.
When inside of each of the books that were uploaded in the 2016 era, Brian gave them the once over for spelling and anachronisms—especially the tech books. So, these books have been re-issued under Amazon and thus you may see them repeated on the list below. Unless you want Brian's original thinking on a matter, always choose the most current book. Send a note if you want an archived book.
In December, 2017, Lets Go Publish! and Brian Kelly went through all of his books and we found that Brian had actually published more books than originally noted. At one time, he was producing books so quickly that he lost his count. Most of the books that had changed sizes when modified were re-released with different ISBNs. ISBN officials always want major changes to be represented by a new ISBN number. For the publishing industry, this constitutes a new book. Here is the current list of Brian's books which include originals and some re-dos. Thank you for enjoying Lets Go Publish! books. We really appreciate it.
Thank you for visiting the Lets Go Publish! Site.
The books are in reverse # of chronology of when written.
Here is a list as of April 10, 2019 of the books that Brian (W) Kelly, at 71-years of age, has released so far.

An Old Maid By: Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850)
To Monsieur Eugene Auguste Georges Louis Midy de la Greneraye Surville, Royal Engineer of the Ponts at Chausses.
As a testimony to the affection of his brother in law,
CHAPTER I. ONE OF MANY CHEVALIERS DE VALOIS
Most persons have encountered, in certain provinces in France, a number of Chevaliers de Valois. One lived in Normandy, another at Bourges, a third (with whom we have here to do) flourished in Alencon, and doubtless the South possesses others. The number of the Valesian tribe is, however, of no consequence to the present tale. All these chevaliers, among whom were doubtless some who were Valois as Louis XIV. was Bourbon, knew so little of one another that it was not advisable to speak to one about the others. They were all willing to leave the Bourbons in tranquil possession of the throne of France; for it was too plainly established that Henri IV. became king for want of a male heir in the first Orleans branch called the Valois. If there are any Valois, they descend from Charles de Valois, Duc d'Angouleme, son of Charles IX. and Marie Touchet, the male line from whom ended, until proof to the contrary be produced, in the person of the Abbe de Rothelin. The Valois Saint Remy, who descended from Henri II., also came to an end in the famous Lamothe Valois implicated in the affair of the Diamond Necklace.
Each of these many chevaliers, if we may believe reports, was, like the Chevalier of Alencon, an old gentleman, tall, thin, withered, and moneyless. He of Bourges had emigrated; he of Touraine hid himself; he of Alencon fought in La Vendee and "chouanized" somewhat. The youth of the latter was spend in Paris, where the Revolution overtook him when thirty years of age in the midst of his conquests and gallantries.
The Chevalier de Valois of Alencon was accepted by the highest aristocracy of the province as a genuine Valois; and he distinguished himself, like the rest of his homonyms, by excellent manners, which proved him a man of society. He dined out every day, and played cards every evening. He was thought witty, thanks to his foible for relating a quantity of anecdotes on the reign of Louis XV. and the beginnings of the Revolution. When these tales were heard for the first time, they were held to be well narrated. He had, moreover, the great merit of not repeating his personal bons mots and of never speaking of his love affairs, though his smiles and his airs and graces were delightfully indiscreet. The worthy gentleman used his privilege as a Voltairean noble to stay away from mass; and great indulgence was shown to his irreligion because of his devotion to the royal cause. One of his particular graces was the air and manner (imitated, no doubt, from Mole) with which he took snuff from a gold box adorned with the portrait of the Princess Goritza, a charming Hungarian, celebrated for her beauty in the last years of the reign of Louis XV. Having been attached during his youth to that illustrious stranger, he still mentioned her with emotion. For her sake he had fought a duel with Monsieur de Lauzun.
The chevalier, now fifty eight years of age, owned to only fifty; and he might well allow himself that innocent deception, for, among the other advantages granted to fair thin persons, he managed to preserve the still youthful figure which saves men as well as women from an appearance of old age. Yes, remember this: all of life, or rather all the elegance that expresses life, is in the figure. Among the chevalier's other possessions must be counted an enormous nose with which nature had endowed him. This nose vigorously divided a pale face into two sections which seemed to have no knowledge of each other, for one side would redden under the process of digestion, while the other continued white...

Numerical methods allow to circumvent the difficulties associated with lack of mathematical knowledge among the college students who are required to study physics. Using elementary numerical methods the models of various oscillating systems are built. A pendulum, a piston moving in a cylinder under the effect of pressure difference in a cylinder and a material point oscillating around the circumference under the action of elastic force, show a qualitatively different dependence between the amplitude and period of oscillations. Through the numerical solution of differential equations of the mathematical package MathCAD studied the motion of Kapitsa pendulum with a non-trivial restoring force. Construction of two - and three-dimensional graphs in MathCAD is applied to combine mutually perpendicular oscillations and obtaining Lissajous's figures. Self-oscillating systems are presented in the form of models of the RC- oscillator with three-tier phase-shifting circuit negative feedback and the Wine's oscillator. An example of relaxation oscillator is the model of the multivibrator on the dynistors. At the heart of a computer model of the generator on the tunnel diode is the use of current-voltage characteristics of N-type containing a section with negative resistance. The material may be used in the process of teaching physics at advanced level in secondary schools and junior courses of higher educational institutions.

Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) Bengaluru has been upgraded to "Level 3+ Neutrality" rating by the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme. This is the highest level of environmental achievement available to airports. KIA is only the fourth airport in the Asia-Pacific region to achieve this level of certification, the Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) said in a release.
Carbon neutrality occurs when the net carbon emissions over an entire year are zero, or when the airport absorbs or offsets the same amount of emission that was generated. This achievement is accredited by Airport Council International (ACI) under the Airport Carbon Accreditation. This is a measure that monitors the efforts of airports to manage and reduce their carbon emissions.
The Level 3+ certification, the release said, was received in recognition of a series of green initiatives adopted by BIAL, over a period of time. These include energy conservation programmes, installation of onsite solar power generation, monitoring air quality, water management and energy management. The airport had received Level 3 Optimisation certificate in October 2013.

Hazard in Hunt for New Flu: Looking for Bugs in All the Wrong Places
By GINA KOLATA NOV. 8, 2005
Science moves in mysterious ways, and sometimes what seems like the end of the story is really just the beginning. Or, at least, that is what some researchers are thinking as they scratch their heads over the weird genetic sequence of the 1918 flu virus.
Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger, a molecular pathologist at the Armed Forces Institute of Technology who led the research team that reconstructed the long-extinct virus, said that a few things seemed clear.
The 1918 virus appears to be a bird flu virus. But if it is from a bird, it is not a bird anyone has studied before. It is not like the A(H5N1) strain of bird flus in Asia, which has sickened at least 116 people, and killed 60. It is not like the influenza viruses that infect fowl in North America.
Yet many researchers believe that the 1918 virus, which caused the worst infectious disease epidemic in human history, is a bird flu virus. And if so, it is the only one that has ever been known to cause a human pandemic.
That, Dr. Taubenberger said, gives rise to a question. Are scientists looking for the next pandemic flu virus in all the wrong places? Is there a bird that no one ever thought about that harbors the next 1918-like flu? And if so, what bird is it, and where does it live?
"I can't even assign a hemisphere," he said. "It just came from somewhere else. Maybe it's in pigeons. Or in songbirds."
"It's weird, it's really weird," he added. "My view is to be undogmatic as possible and just try to follow the data. This is the result we get. The question is, What does it mean?"
Dr. Taubenberger's question emerged from the science fiction-like search for the 1918 virus that eventually led to its reconstruction.
A decade ago, Dr. Taubenberger and his colleagues found shards of the extinct virus in two fingernail-size snippets of formaldehyde-soaked lung tissue from two soldiers and from the frozen lung of an Inuit woman who died of the flu in 1918 and was buried in permafrost. Slowly and painstakingly, they fished out the tiny fragments of viral genes and began reconstructing them.
The first gene they sequenced was the one that codes for the hemagglutinin protein on the virus's surface. Immediately, Dr. Taubenberger and his colleagues were struck by an oddity: the chain of nucleotides that coded for the amino acids in the protein were arranged differently from those found in any other bird flu.
The genetic code is flexible; there is more than one way that a group of three nucleotides can be arranged to code for the same amino acid. But every bird flu virus ever studied used the same spellings for the hemagglutinin amino acids. Not the 1918 flu.
There were two possibilities, Dr. Taubenberger thought. One was that bird flus have evolved over the decades and that back in 1918, the amino acids in bird viruses were simply coded differently.
Another was that if the 1918 flu virus came from a bird, it was no bird that anyone had considered before.
"We decided there was no way to address this," Dr. Taubenberger said. After all, the birds from 1918 were long gone, and their viruses had died with them.
Then Dr. Thomas Fanning, a scientist in Dr. Taubenberger's group, mentioned that he had a friend at the Smithsonian who worked at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington. It had several thousand preserved birds from the early 20th century that were floating in Mason jars of alcohol.
From there, they reached James P. Dean, a supervisor in the division of birds at the museum, who sent Dr. Taubenberger a computer printout of the birds in the museum's collection -- hundreds of birds, with notes telling the species and the exact times and places where they were collected. But which to choose?
Dr. Taubenberger consulted with one of the leading experts on bird flus, Richard Slemons of Ohio State, who chose 40 birds on the museum's list, all waterfowl collected around 1918. The museum found 25 of them.
The scientists took tiny pinches of tissue from passages of the birds' excretory tracts, or cloacas, and Dr. Taubenberger looked for flu viruses in the tissue. Six of the birds had a flu virus. The genetic coding for the amino acids in those viruses was exactly like that in bird flu viruses today, Dr. Taubenberger found.
In fact, the viruses had not even evolved. Human influenza viruses change every year, mutating slightly so they can reinfect people who had just had the flu and developed antibodies against it. But birds, Dr. Slemons said, do not have much of an immune response to influenza, and so there is no particular pressure for the virus to mutate.
Another reason the viruses stay the same, he said, is that some birds live for only a couple of years and so, every year, the viruses have a new bird population to infect. Finally, he said, birds are chronically infected with lots of flu viruses at once, and all the viruses coexist peacefully.
"There are so many that there is no selective pressure on any virus," he said.
But if bird viruses do not evolve and if the waterfowl viruses in 1915 and 1916 look just like bird viruses today, where did the 1918 virus come from? Or was it really a bird virus?
After all, at the time that he looked at the Smithsonian birds, Dr. Taubenberger had reconstructed only part of the virus's genetic sequence. Maybe when he had the whole thing, the picture would change.
It did not. The entire sequence, published last month in Nature, had the distinctive protein structures of a bird virus, he said. And it had that same peculiar way of spelling its amino acids.
When he compared the 1918 virus with today's human flu viruses, Dr. Taubenberger noticed that it had alterations in just 25 to 30 of the virus's 4,400 amino acids. Those few changes turned a bird virus into a killer than could spread from person to person.
Dr. Taubenberger noticed that, so far, the A(H5N1) viruses in Asia have just a few of those changes. They do not, however, have the unusual ways of coding the amino acid instructions that the 1918 virus had. So are the Asian bird viruses on their way to becoming pandemic viruses, or not?
Some experts like Dr. Peter Palese of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York say the A(H5N1) flu viruses are a false alarm. He notes that studies of serum collected in 1992 from people in rural China indicated that millions of people there had antibodies to the A(H5N1) strain.
That means they had been infected with an H5N1 bird virus and recovered, apparently without incident.
Despite that, and the fact that those viruses have been circulating in China more than a dozen years, almost no human-to-human spread has occurred. "The virus has been around for more than a dozen years, but it hasn't jumped into the human population," Dr. Palese said. "I don't think it has the capability of doing it."
Dr. Taubenberger said he could argue it either way.
"It's a nasty virus," he said. "It is highly virulent in domestic birds and wild birds. The fact that it has killed half the humans it has infected makes it of concern, and the fact that it shares some features with the 1918 virus makes it of concern.
"But the fact that it has circulated in Asia for years and hasn't caused a pandemic argues against it. Maybe there are some biological barriers we don't understand."
So where will the next pandemic come from? Dr. Taubenberger says he wonders if it may be from a bird no one has thought of, a bird with a flu virus that has the same funny coding of amino acids that he saw in the 1918 flu.
He has teamed up with scientists in Alaska to get swabs from the cloacas of migrating birds, and he is looking in those samples for flu viruses that look like the one from 1918.
"Probably nobody else has thought much about this," Dr. Taubenberger said. "But we've been staring at the sequence of the virus for the last 10 years, and we've been thinking about it." For him, the story is not over; it has just taken another turn.

How to become a citizen of Liberland
Posted on May 1, 2021 May 1, 2021 by jonathan
I became a Liberland citizen this month! Let me share some information for those of you who are considering doing likewise.
First, what is Liberland?
Liberland flag
Liberland (officially the "Free Republic of Liberland") is a tiny, libertarian country in Europe nestled between Serbia and Croatia. The territory was claimed by Liberland since it was previously a "no man's land" after the breakup of the former Yugoslavia.
Src: https://liberland.org/en/about
The Danube River serves as a border mark between Serbia and Croatia. However, since all rivers tend to evolve over time, a dispute arose between the two countries over which version of the border was valid: the old river path, or the new river path. The old river path gave Croatia a net increase in territory, while the new river path gave Serbia a net increase. Since every country wants to have the maximum possible claim to territory, each side asserted that the border was on the opposite river path from what the other claimed. Since each side wanted to not undermine their own claim to their own version of the map, there ended up being pieces of land that were claimed by NEITHER country. The biggest of those unclaimed pieces was eventually claimed as the newly formed Free Republic of Liberland by President Vít Jedlička, First Lady Jana Markovicova, and Jaromír Miškovský on 13 April, 2015. That day is also the birthday of the American Revolutionary icon Thomas Jefferson.
Liberland founding document
Liberland is aspiring to become the most libertarian nation on earth.
Former U.S. Congressman Ron Paul, Bitcoin.com Founder Roger "Bitcoin Jesus" Ver, and Nomad Capitalist Founder Andrew Henderson are among the many notable people in libertarianism who are counted among Liberland's citizens.
While the details of the Liberland Constitution are still being worked-out, some of the key features that are proposed include:
Zero taxes (with the possible exception of a "land fee").
All government operations funded with voluntary crowdfunding.
Blockchain-powered political systems.
Merit system where those who contribute more to the country are rewarded with more influence in the political process.
No restrictions on civilian ownership of "small arms" as defined internationally.
No standing army, but rather a "territorial defense force" which only defends the defined borders of Liberland in the event of invasion.
No regulations on marriage.
Freedom of speech, the press, religion, etc.
No government involvement in education.
A legislative, an executive, and a judicial branch.
No government debt obligations.
Since Liberland claimed its territory before any other country, it has rightful claim to it.
However, since the border dispute between Croatia and Serbia is ongoing, the Croatian police have been occupying Liberland's territory (despite not claiming it as their own), refusing to allow Liberlandians to enter Liberland. However, that fact has not stopped Liberland from making progress with arranging a free trade zone with Serbia and encouraging settlement communities on the Serbian side of the Danube.
Within the first few years, there were Liberlandians who attempted to enter Liberland, but were stopped and arrested by the Croatian police. However, that seems to be happening less now.
In the meantime, President Jedlička and the many Liberland representatives in countries around the world have been working to achieve recognition and support of Liberland's right to exist.
The Liberland Aid Foundation has also been doing humanitarian work around the globe to help show that Liberlandians are willing to help make the world around them a better place.
While Liberland has diplomatic passports, there are not yet "normal" passports for everyday Liberlandians. However, that is something that is being worked on. In the meantime, citizens can receive a certificate of citizenship.
Who should apply for Liberland citizenship?
Liberland citizenship is for people who are willing "To Live and Let Live" as the Liberland national motto goes.
This includes, but is not limited to, libertarians, capitalists, minarchists, anarchists, and classical liberals. Liberlandians come from a diverse range of professions, nations, religions, ethnicities, etc. The unifying theme, however, is that of a global community of people who want to help build the freest, most innovative nation on earth.
Who should NOT apply for Liberland citizenship?
Given the libertarian nature of Liberland, there are a number of people who should probably stay away from it. Take the following conversation I had with someone on Facebook, for example.
JM: "I am now a US-Liberland dual citizen!"
DWV: "You're just greedy. You already have great citizenship. I'm stuck in South Africa. …So how do I get it?"
JM: "[M]y first tip for you is to be nice and not call people 'greedy' for wanting to become global citizens. …Besides, if you can't help but complain out of envy at the success of others, then you probably would hate life in Liberland. Liberland is for people who are willing to tolerate unequal success among legally equal individuals."
Simply put, collectivists would not enjoy life in Liberland. The intolerant would not enjoy life in Liberland. The envious would not enjoy life in Liberland. There are naturally going to be some individuals who are more successful than others. There are also inevitably going to be a diverse range of people who are successful. Therefore, the aforementioned groups (collectivists, intolerant, and envious) should all stay out of Liberland for their own sakes.
In addition to that, Liberland explicitly denies citizenship to Nazis and Communists.
Prerequisites for citizenship
E-residency
People who are interested in Liberland citizenship can start by registering an account on the official Liberland website at liberland.org and completing the application form for e-residency.
Liberland e-residency card
My advice here is to BE HONEST. Regardless of your net worth or income right now, you still have a shot at being accepted.
Just like how Dale Carnegie's iconic bestselling book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" says, you must "Talk in terms of the other person's interests."* Therefore, when you answer the questions on the form, focus on how you will help Liberland. While it is fine to mention what you are looking to gain from Liberland, do NOT focus on your own wants or needs. There are literally hundreds of thousands of applicants for Liberland citizenship worldwide. I am sure that many of them also "want" or "need" to get citizenship. However, Liberland is unable to accept all applicants. Can you really blame them when their territory is just seven square kilometres?
That is why you need to make your application stand-out by saying how you will help make Liberland better. You can be a software developer, an architect, a lawyer, a physician, a mechanic, a welder, an entrepreneur, a libertarian activist, a journalist, a songwriter, and more. Whatever career you have, you can be a contributor to the Liberland economy. If you are an investor, Liberland is also ready to welcome you by offering a business-friendly regulatory environment, starting with the Apatin Free Trade Zone in Serbia.
New applicants must go through KYC (Know Your Client) vetting to make sure they have a reasonably clean criminal record. After all, nobody wants to live next door to a convicted terrorist.
The Liberland KYC-Chain interface
Contribute value to Liberland
Once you become a Liberland e-resident, you need to contribute value to the country in order to achieve citizenship.
Donate and/or volunteer for Liberland
This is the way I personally became a citizen. I wrote articles for Liberland Press and received Merits based on how much I wrote.
The Merit is Liberland's official (crypto)currency, which is still being developed, but nonetheless is being used to quantify the contributions an individual has made. You need 5,000 Merits to become a citizen. I also made a few USD and BTC donations to Liberland, and was rewarded Merits for those as well.
As of the time of this writing, you can purchase 1 Liberland Merit for 1 USD. So, a $5,000 USD donation would be enough for citizenship. As far as citizenship by investment countries go, that is SUPER affordable. If you don't believe me, watch some videos by Nomad Capitalist. The numbers for more widely recognized countries sell at around $100,000 USD and up.
Eventually, Merits will probably be used as a governance token for secure and verifiable elections. Therefore, you are incentivized to keep paying voluntary taxes in order to grow your Merit holdings and thus your voting power.
Invest in Liberland waterfront property
Alternatively, you can buy a property in the Liberlandian community on the Danube River through floating.ll.land and receive citizenship as part of the deal. Here are the three property types that are currently on the site.
Bitcoin Freedom cabin: €50k
Bitcoin Freedom is being renovated and has cabin(s) for sale.

Cunami houseboat: €80k

Cunami houseboat src: https://www.floating.ll.land/houseboat
Katamaran houseboat: €45k
A relatively small houseboat.
Katamaran houseboat src: https://www.floating.ll.land/katamaran
If you have done everything that you are supposed to do according to the forms on the official sites and you still have not heard back regarding your application within a week or two, then send a (respectful) follow-up email. Explain how you want to help Liberland succeed and what you are already doing to help.
Stay free, everyone!🕊

Fantasy sports betting edges closer to reality in Louisiana
by: CJ Maclin
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana lawmakers have agreed to the taxing rate for fantasy sports betting.
That edges the state closer to starting the competitions for online cash prizes in the 47 parishes where voters agreed to legalize the activity.
The measure by Republican Rep. John Stefanski imposes an 8% tax on the activity, with the dollars generated earmarked for early childhood education programs.
The House voted 82-11 for the tax bill in the ongoing special legislative session, and the Senate sent it to the governor with a 36-0 vote Tuesday.
Legislative action should allow the betting to begin soon, when the Louisiana Gaming Control Board starts licensing operators of fantasy sports contests.
MONROE, La. – Alonzo Hampton, a four-year letterman as a defensive back at ULM from 1993-96, has returned to his alma mater to serve as assistant head coach and safeties coach for first-year Warhawk head coach Terry Bowden.
In 2019, Hampton worked as a defensive analyst for Chad Morris at Arkansas.

Ladies Squad to build on International Weekend
The Irish Ladies squad will look back at the weekend just gone in Gormanstown College and take the lessons learned into their future development.
The Tri-Nations friendly tournament which featured Ireland and the U-19 squads of Belgium and Great Britain was the brainchild of the IOHA's Women's Handball Development Committee and it's Technical Director, Andrea Ongaro. Planning began in late 2018 on the fringes of the EHF Euro 2018.
Belgium are in the midst of a regeneration of their Ladies program with the emphasis on U-19 and U-23 squads while our nearest neighbours Great Britain are continuing to build on the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic Games with a full suite of International squads in the various different age groups.
While the results didn't go the way of the Irish girls with them being soundly beaten in both matches the weekend provided an insight for them into the standards they need to aspire to on the International stage.
The matches were for most of the squad their first taste of International handball and the IOHA was delighted to host the matches as part of the Cup weekend, the 1st internationals on Irish soil in a number of years.
Where to next for the squad will be decided by the Technical Director and their coaches but everyone in the IOHA wishes them well.

Merci Docteur Rey
By Randy Shulman on October 18, 2003	@RandyShulman
[Critic's Pick!]
Saturday, 10/18/2003, 9:00 PM
English and French with English subtitles
WHEN A MOVIE boasts an executive producer by the name of Ishmail Merchant, you have every right to believe you're in for a few hours of richly rewarding quality entertainment. And this first-time film from writer-director Andrew Litvack (whose association on Merchant-Ivory productions includes an acting credit as an "American Officer Presenting a Dagger" in Surviving Picasso), that belief remains firmly intact.
This irrepressibly French comedy stars mournful-faced Stanislas Merhar as a young man struggling with his homosexuality as well as with an overbearing opera diva mother (played to the histrionic hilt and beyond by Dianne Weist). When Thomas witnesses a murder, he goes on a search for the killer, falling into an unlikely friendship with the supremely neurotic Penelope (Jane Birkin), an actress who has dubbed so many Vanessa Redgrave films, she's come to think of herself as a literal extension of Redgrave. (Redgrave, in fact, makes an appearance in one of the movie's juiciest scenes, and inadvertently insults the poor woman by exclaiming "How could they give me such a tacky French voice?")
The slim Merhar gives a marvelous performance, reminiscent of Gerard Depardieu when he was less of a beached whale and actually handsome. Merchant-Ivory favorite Simon Callow turns up in an intriguing cameo and Birkin is a fumbling, nervous riot. But the movie belongs to Weist, who imbues her each and every scene with a steely Diva-esque venom. "You don't mind if I call you bubblehead," she says to Penelope, mistakenly thinking she's the older woman bedding her 23-year-old son. "I mean it kindly."
Merci Docteur Rey offers abundant joy in its weird, loony narrative, which is only slightly marred by a certain predictability in the outcome. But as the French might say, c'est la vie!

This bean is juicy and richly sweet. The flavors of summer, red currant, lime, and raspberry lemonade, come in tandem with a subtle jasmine floral signing the authenticity of the Yrgacheffe origin.
Kochere is southwest of the town of Yirgacheffe and near a little village of Ch'elelek'tu. Kochere coffees have a strong fruit tea–like note that comes along with the citrus and stone fruit. When this is combined with processing as a natural, the result is expressed as red currant, lime, and raspberry lemonade.
Aside from its near-legendary status as the "birthplace" of Arabica coffee, there is much to love about Ethiopia as a producing nation, including but not limited to the incredible diversity of flavor and character that exists among microregions, specifically within the southwestern Gedeo Zone of Yirgacheffe within the region of Sidama—areas whose names alone conjure thoughts of the finest coffees in the world. Coffee was literally made to thrive in the lush environment Yirgacheffe's forests provide, developing nuanced floral characteristics, articulate sweetness and sparkling acidity.
What is special about our Ethiopian Yirgacheefe?
The coffee is picked between November and January, depulped within 12 hours, and washed using spring water. The soils in this region are red-brown clay soil, about 1.5 meters deep.

Q: Unencrypted equivalent of SSH reverse proxy I'm looking for an equivalent of this:
ssh -R 8888:10.0.0.2:8888 100.101.102.103

ie. make the service running on port 8888 on the local machine (10.0.0.2) look like a locally running service on a remote machine (100.101.102.103).
However, I don't want the encryption overhead of ssh, since the service in question is https and is thus already encrypted.
Can anyone suggest a tool to do this? Note that the direction of the initiation is important here - ie. it's the equivalent of a reverse tunnel. The local machine, where the service is running, is on a private network and not directly visible to the remote machine; the remote machine has a public IP though.

*

*unix (OS X and Linux) on each end

*I have full access to both machines

A: A pair of netcat sessions would fit the bill, I guess.
man nc

A: Just set ssh's encryption cypher to none.
ssh -c none -R 8888:10.0.0.2:8888 100.101.102.103

A: I have used rinetd for this in the past with great success.
rinetd is a very small, stable, and simple program that listens for
incoming connections and forwards them, the configuration is really
simple
# bindadress    bindport  connectaddress  connectport
1.2.3.4         80        4.3.2.1         80
1.2.3.4         443       4.3.2.1         443

There is also a program called "stone" that can do the same:
Example... http forward from the gateway to an internal machine (1.2.3.4):
$ stone 1.2.3.4:80 80

A: do not forget socat, the swiss army knife of network forwarders ;)
http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/

A: An inetd combined with netcat should do the trick. See Forwarding Ports, although xinetd may be a better choice these days.

A: You could use some sort of firewall rule? Something in iptables to redirect one port to another?

A: What you are trying to use smells like NAT Port Forwarding to me. One iptables rules and it's done.

Testimonial #42: David Morehead, Executive Director, Calling From The Dream

"I did not have a teacher that influenced me to actually pursue the arts. My decision to do so was pretty much pre-determined genetically at an early age. Music, acting, and the arts were a major part of my life growing up. Unfortunately though, the school system I attended, though not devoid of support for the arts, the focus and dollars were geared toward athletic programs and most specifically football."
How has your life been indelibly touched by a teacher who utilized the arts for whatever reason and acknowledge how they were instrumental in breaking the mold to allow you to become who you are today?
My life was indelibly touched by an art teacher as a sophomore in high school. His name is Robert K. Haselier and it is a rather long and amusing story of where we started almost 45 years ago to where we are today as friends. I believe we both started at the high school I attended the same time; he, as a teacher and I as a student. If he did not leave the year I did after graduating, then he left the following year. My first encounter with him was when I entered his classroom for a drawing class. We had an assignment that required the use of scissors of which I did not have. I approached his desk and asked the question," Where are the scissors at ?" ….This opened a lecture of how one does not use "at" at the end a sentence or end it with any preposition, blah,blah,blah….. Me being a 15 year old kid with attitude, I suppose it is easy to imagine my restrained thought of commenting "Kiss my …" followed with several choice expletives ending with my desire for him to return his to New Jersey. Fortunately, I did not. I had him for several classes the next 3 years all focusing on the arts, be it fine arts, foreign languages, humanities, etc. Eventually, we grew a tolerance [for each other] which developed into an acceptance, and avoided any confrontational situations. Towards the end of my senior year, he overheard a conversation I was having with a classmate about a stage production of "Tommy" that I had seen the night before. Long story short, he told me that he could allow extra credit points with a ticket stub and a written review if I wanted to submit. I found out that would have also been permitted for any class that I had taken from him e.g. a trip to an art museum for an art class, a concert for music appreciation, etc. With my backyard and stomping grounds being Sarasota , St. Petersburg, Tampa to Orlando and Daytona Beach and my love for the performing arts, had I known….I would have skipped classes a lot more than I did and actually came out ahead rather than being penalized. After I graduated from high school, we crossed paths a couple years later when he and his band mates came into a night club I was working, which featured live rock bands. We reconnected and saw each other frequently the next few years until I finally moved to the west coast. We did not see each other for a number of years. We did however touch base every few years, and then with the advent of Facebook and other social media avenues, are up to par again. Though we may not communicate daily, I do feel confident that he also feels that mutually reaching out to each other would bring a welcoming reception.
How are the arts re-igniting your community and sparking innovation and creativity in your local schools?
I am sure this is not quite the response you were anticipating as I did not have a teacher that influenced me to actually pursue the arts. My decision to do so was pretty much pre-determined genetically at an early age. Music, acting, and the arts were a major part of my life growing up. Unfortunately though, the school system I attended, though not devoid of support for the arts, the focus and dollars were geared toward athletic programs and most specifically football. One does not miss what is not available and besides this was something to have fun with, but not to be a chosen profession desired by my parents for me. When I was 16, I attended a Moody Blues concert with a friend and made the prophetic announcement that this was what I wanted to do with my life. Four years later, I was in a nightclub conversing with a keyboardist while he was on break and discovered that he, too, had a similar epiphany. Before he went back on stage, we had a laugh and decided we knew what we wanted; now, we had to just figure out how to make money doing so. Here I am today still trying to find the answer. If and when I do, my legacy will be to create a scholarship for students pursuing a career in performing arts. If it's really successful, I will build a K-12 performing arts academy inclusive of a medium size theatre for the students' performances. Hopefully, when she does appear at the end of my life, the fat lady who sings, will be a graduate of the academy and a recipient of a scholarship!

Lower bracket final of the tournament, and I predict a win Phenomenon with the score 2:1, is also no doubt that Enso will pick one card. The game promises to be very interesting. For me, it is Phenomenon must fight "VEGA" for first place in the final and to show there beautiful COP, just because Vega threw Phenomenon right from the first game in the losers bracket. The team should have the zeal to reach the final of the tournament and revenge. Enso same for all tournament, and it is for 3 games won't very strong teams of the tournament.

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome
Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) was first described by Hinchley et al. [1]. It is a clinico-radiological condition comprising neurological signs and symptoms such as visual disturbance, headaches, seizures, as well as radiological evidence of white matter vasogenic edema affecting the posterior occipital and parietal lobes of the brain [2]. Initially, it was thought that PRES is caused by acute hypertension which led to failure in autoregulation, cerebral hyperperfusion causing vascular leakage and vasogenic oedema [3]. However, as 20-30% of PRES cases present with no hypertension4 additional precipitant have been proposed. We present a case of PRES following general anaesthesia and opiate toxicity.
A 77 year old female presented due to symptoms of belching and severe reflux. Her past medical history includes hypertension. She underwent repair of esophageal hiatus hernia repair using the abdominal approach. During the post-operative period she was given 10 mg intravenous morphine and an epidural was in situ with 2mch/mL fentanyl at 10mL per hour. Post operatively, she became drowsy and her respiratory rate declined to six. She had pin point pupils and was snoring. Naloxone was prescribed with good effect but she remained drowsy with a systolic blood pressure ranging from 89 to 90 throughout the night. She was treated with IV fluids and was started on a naloxone infusion. Her blood pressure responded and she became more alert. The following day (day one post-operatively), she developed complete blindness. On examination, she had complete loss of acuity bilaterally, full range of movements bilaterally and all other cranial nerves remained intact. The tone, power, reflexes and sensation of upper and lower limbs were also normal. An urgent CT scan of her head was arranged which showed ischaemic changes bilaterally in the occipital lobes, in the deep cerebellum and middle cerebellar peduncle with small asymmetrical cortical – subcortical focus of ischaemia in the left posterior frontal region. The image appearances were suggestive of PRES (Figure 1). Her epidural was now switched to plain epidural and she was reviewed by both neurologist and ophthalmologist who both agreed a diagnosis of PRES is most likely. It was decided to not prescribe any further doses of opiates and to monitor her blood pressure tightly to avoid any fluctuations. Three days later she began to regain her vision slowly. Her case was discussed at the neuroradiology multidisciplinary team meeting and a decision was made to perform an MR of the brain including a stroke sequence. MR of the brain showed ischaemic changes affecting predominantly the posterior occipital and parietal regions symmetrically (Figure 2).
Figure 1: CT Head showing bilateral, symmetrical abnormal cortical and subcortical ischaemic change is seen in both occipital lobes. There is also mild local mass effect with gyral swelling.
Figure 2: (A-C) Echo planar 2-dimentional diffusion Axial MRI. (D-F) Proton density T2 Axial MRI showing ischaemic changes affecting the posterior occipital and parietal regions symmetrically.
Although the exact pathophysiology of PRES is not fully understood, three hypothesis have been suggested [1]. Failure of cerebrovascular autoregulatory mechanism [2]. Cerebral ischaemia secondary to cerebral vasoconstriction [3]. Endothelial dysfunction with blood–brain barrier disruption [2].
A continuous cerebral blood flow is normally maintained irrespective of systemic blood pressure fluctuations as cerebrovascular autoregulation takes place in response to carbon dioxide reactivity and pressure amongst other substances [4,5,6]. Acute fluctuations in blood pressure or autonomic activity or arterial hypertension can render this system to fail [7,8]. This is the hypertensive theory often used to explain the pathophysiology of PRES and it proposes that fluctuations in blood pressure can either cause cerebral ischaemia (during periods of hypotension) or cerebral hyperperfusion (during times of hypertension when blood pressure rises above the autoregulatory limit) [2].
This patient was a chronic hypertensive with a baseline systolic at 140-170 mmHg. Prior to surgery she remained at her usual baseline blood pressure. During surgery this was monitored closely and was uneventful. Post-surgery she had opiate toxicity with pin point pupils, reduced GCS and reduced blood pressure. The possibility that this patient developed PRES due to elevated blood pressure prior to surgery is unlikely as chronic hypertensive patients often have a higher autoregulatory limit of blood pressure in comparison to normal individuals (mean arterial pressure >150–160 mm Hg) [3]. As such the magnitude of hypertension in this patient is unlikely to have been the primary precipitant of PRES.
A second hypothesis for the pathophysiology of PRES suggests that vasoconstriction and hypoperfusion causes brain ischaemia which leads to vasogenic oedema [3]. This patient could have developed PRES during the period of hypotension during the opiate toxicity on day zero post op. Her vision in the immediate postoperative period was not monitored and would have been difficult to assess due to reduced GCS. She was started on a naloxone infusion and IV fluids. When blood pressures GCS normalized the visual deficit was picked up.
A final hypothesis describes endothelial dysfunction secondary to endogenous or exogenous toxins [3]. Endogenous toxins include those released during (pre)eclampsia or sepsis while exogenous toxins include immunosuppressive agents or chemotherapy. These toxins trigger endothelial cell activation and release of vasoactive agents which in turn increases vascular permeability leading to the oedema characteristic of PRES [9]. In addition, the vascular endothelial cells release vasoconstrictive agents which are thought to cause cerebral vasospasms [10]. In this hypothesis, the causes of PRES reported in literature are numerous. Table 1 highlights the common associations with PRES.1 [11-19]. However, the exact mechanism of why these cause PRES is again not fully understood. Use of opiates, spinal or general anaesthesia is not a recognised association.
Post transplantation
(Pre)Eclampsia
Infection/sepsis/shock
Table 1. Conditions commonly associated with PRES.
Eran and Barak [20] report a case of PRES following general anaesthesia and intrathecal morphine. They describe a female admitted for video-assisted thoracoscopic wedge resection of a right lung lesion. The procedure was uneventful but post anaesthesia however similarly to this case post operatively the patient did not regain full GCS post reversal of anaesthesia [20]. Clinical and radiological findings were consistent with PRES in the absence of any other known risk factors for PRES. Rangi et al. [21] also report a case of post general anaesthesia PRES on day six post op. Although in this case risk factors were observed as the patient was receiving cytotoxic drugs for metastatic gestational trophoblastic disease. Torrillo et al. [22] describes a case of PRES on day eight post-operative abdominal aortic surgery. Hypertension was noted post operatively as well as renal ischaemia [22]. Chiu-Ming and Kwok-Hon [23] also report a case of PRES two days following 12mg 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine spinal anaesthesia. The procedure was successful with no complications at first attempt.
In this case report, the patient had both hypotension, morphine toxicity and epidural fentanyl. Given the number of cases reported of PRES following general and spinal anaesthesia and intrathecal morphine, there should remain a suspicious that these are associated risk factors for PRES.

Grant Number: 3U01CA235488-02S1 Interpret this number
Comprehensive profiling of the small molecule repertoire in a sample is referred to as metabolomics, and is being used to address a variety of scientific questions in biomedical studies. Recent technological advances in mass spectrometry-based metabolomics have allowed for more comprehensive and sensitive measurements of metabolites. Despite the technological advances, the bottleneck for taking full advantage of metabolomics data is often the availability and usability of analysis tools. The goal of the parent U01 award (U01CA235488) is to develop novel statistical methods and software for the research community to improve the utilization of metabolomics data, which will help maximize the potential of metabolomics to provide new discoveries in disease etiology, diagnosis, and drug development. Software tools specifically designed for metabolomics data, like those proposed in the parent U01 award, are being developed at an increasing rate with hundreds of available tools. Many of these tools are open-source and freely available, but are very diverse with respect to language, data formats, and stages in the metabolomics pipeline. Several of the challenges recognized in the NIH Common Fund Metabolomics Program are to "meet increasing demand for user-friendly, open-source, bioinformatics tools for data analysis and interpretation" and "coordinate community-wide identification and adoption of best practices for rigor, reproducibility and data reuse." This supplement proposal aims to promote Program goals by surveying and understanding the landscape of available software tools, not only developed by consortium members, but also by the broader metabolomics community. In Aim 1, we will survey publicly available software tools and report the interoperability between tools, which can be used to develop workflows for the different stages of metabolomics data analyses. In Aim 2, since many software tools are no longer maintained, we will identify the subset of packages that can still be installed, in addition to performing code meta-data analysis to identify factors that correlate with activity and impact of software tools. In Aim 3, we will disseminate the software database with the support of the Program, and document the results of our survey including trends associated with the most frequently used software tools. We will work with the Metabolomics Consortium Coordinating Center (M3C), in meta-data definitions, database hosting and promotion of the database. The results of this survey will provide information to support the development of software for the metabolomics community.

Fatal accident on I-295 momentarily halts traffic; one lane remains closed
One person died and three others injured in the one-vehicle accident
Christopher Hong
One person died and three others were injured in an accident on I-295 that momentarily shut down traffic.
A Ford Expedition towing a trailer struck a light pole and flipped near Old St. Augustine Road around 7:10 p.m., said Sgt. Dylan Bryan of the Florida Highway Patrol. The vehicle was carrying four passengers.
The driver died on the scene. One man was life flighted to UF Health Jacksonville, and another man was taken there by an ambulance. They are both in critical condition. The fourth passenger was taken to Orange Park Medical Center with minor injuries.
Police have not identified the passengers and are still investigating the cause of the accident, Bryan said.
Police shut down traffic on the interstate to allow the helicopter to land. All southbound lanes are now open, and one northbound lane remains closed.

Government pledges to increase support for sports development
By ZBC Reporter
Youths from Nyanga and Mutasa have been given an opportunity to showcase their talent after the launch of a sports tournament which is also part of government's development thrust.
The sports tournament which was launched in Mutasa this Saturday is part of a roadmap to transform sport into a vibrant industrial sector.
This was said by the Minister of youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation Dr Kirsty Coventry who also underscored the need for a multi-sectoral approach in developing sport.
The official launch signifies the start of a six-week tournament which will lead to a grand final in November or December. This development is in line with the ideals of vision 2030 on sport development. The development of sport should not be left to government alone. It requires a multi sectoral approach which involves government, private sector and development partners. My ministry will create an enabling environment for local and foreign investors to support our sport and recreational programmes. All sport clubs,academies,associations and related enterprises will be supported to in order to produce quality athletes, teams, products and services to compete at local regional and international stages, said Coventry.
The Minister of Defence and War veterans Affairs Cde Oppah Muchinguri Kashiri said the sports tournament is part of government's development agenda.
We have come up with a development road map in our district starting up with sport as one of our priority areas. We launched this event today and we hope by the end of November or December we are going to have the finals. I am happy that the AAG donated 15 000 dollars that i already have for the finals. We are hoping that we are going to attract a lot of youths to attended. Over and above sports development we are looking at partnering AAG and Young women for ED to empower the youths economically, she said.
The Zimbabwe Football Association donated sports equipment with ZIFA President Felton Kamambo saying the tournament dovetails with plans by his organisation to promote sport development across the country.
These programmes and youth league that we are going to introduce will help our national team coaches to scout for talent in rural areas to contribute for the national team. When we heard of this gathering we then thought of taking advantage to donate the equipment we bought for the youths. We will have about 10 teams in each district country wide. Our aim is to give equal opportunity to rural boys and girls, he said.
The Affirmative Action Group and Young Women for ED are also in full support of such initiatives with the focus on increased support towards women teams that have a record of doing well in international tournaments.

Back from oblivion, Chauya Chikwata are ready to roar


A late August weekend that feels more like early October drew me to the mountains today. I did the Jones Run - Doyles River hike, which leads past two waterfalls.
The hike starts at the Browns Gap parking area in Shenandoah National Park. I started south on the Appalachian Trail, and the first 1.5 miles are fairly level as the AT traces the ridge line.
When I took a left on the Jones Run trail at the 1.5 mile mark I started heading downhill, and didn't quit going down for about 1400 feet of elevation change. Of course, that means I'll have to come back up at some point. The trail gets very rocky too. The highlight of this section of the trail is Jones Run and the Jones Run waterfall. The river and the waterfall were quite anemic today.
At about the 3.3 mile point of the hike the Jones Run trail ends at an intersection with the Doyles River trail. The Doyles River waterfalls were not exactly exciting either. It's been a wet summer at my house, maybe not so much in the mountains.
However, I did find a nice rock for a lunch break.
After about 1.2 miles straight uphill the Doyles River trail cross a fire road which provides a 1.4 mile uphill walk back to the parking lot. Or, you can take the trail less traveled. I continued on Doyles River Trail for another .9 miles to an intersection with the AT, and the highest elevation of the hike at about 2900 feet. The AT then provides a fairly flat 2.2 miles back to the parking lot, for a 8.5 mile hike.
It's a nice hike, although it would be more fun when the waterfalls are flowing much better. There were swinning holes at each watefall, although today most looked to be only a foot deep, at best.

Trump says halting U.S. funding to World Health Organization
People's Daily Online
(Xinhua) 08:17, April 15, 2020
>> US attack against WHO will backfire
WASHINGTON, April 14 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that his administration is halting the nation's funding to the World Health Organization (WHO), a move experts have warned against, as COVID-19 continues to take a toll globally.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump also said a review is being conducted to assess the WHO's role in addressing the spread of the coronavirus.
The announcement came as Trump is aggressively defending his own handling of the outbreak in the United States after the administration has been scrutinized for downplaying the threat from the coronavirus early on and faulted for delays in testing.
The tone also differed from one of his tweets on Feb. 24, several days before the United States reported the first death from COVID-19.
"The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA," Trump wrote at that time. "We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart."
Lawrence Gostin, director of the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University, called cutting funding to the WHO during a global health crisis "disgraceful," warning that it would cause death and even blow back on the United States.
"How shortsighted when global coop needed more now than ever," Gostin said in a series of tweets on Tuesday.
In remarks delivered from Geneva last week, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, "We must quarantine politicizing this virus at national and global levels."
"We have to work together, and we have no time to waste," he added.
According to a tally from Johns Hopkins University on Tuesday, the United States has reported more than 600,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 25,575 deaths, both the highest on record.
Globally, the number of cases is approaching 2 million, as the death toll has surpassed 125,000, the tally showed.
