By Dr Albert Sanchez-Graells, Senior Lecturer in Law (University of Bristol Law School).
My most recent edited collection has now been published:
Using an innovative interdisciplinary 'law and political science' methodology, the book carries out a critical assessment of the reform of the EU public procurement rules in the period 2011-2014. It does this by a detailed assessment of the initial Commission proposal for new rules, the travaux preparatoires behind it, as well as the several inter-institutional negotiation and compromise texts that resulted in the 5th generation of EU public procurement directives in 2014.

It has the same benefits and construction of our famous PB3 Series, yet has an adjustable depth feature for clearing obstructions such as oversized chalktrays. It provides 18" of vertical offset, matched with 3"-4.5" of horizontal depth-adjustment which allows the board to be mounted at a user-friendly height.Clean, simple, and affordable.That's the ProMount.

1 After these things aJesus went away to the other side of bthe Sea of Galilee (or cTiberias).
2 A large crowd followed Him, because they saw the 1asigns which He was performing on those who were sick.
3 Then aJesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples.
4 Now athe Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
5 Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, * said to aPhilip, "Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?"
6 This He was saying to atest him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do.
7 aPhilip answered Him, "bTwo hundred 1denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for everyone to receive a little."
8 One of His adisciples, bAndrew, Simon Peter's brother, * said to Him,
9 "There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two afish, but what are these for so many people?"
10 Jesus said, "Have the people 1sit down." Now there was amuch grass in the place. So the men 1sat down, in number about bfive thousand.
11 Jesus then took the loaves, and ahaving given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the bfish as much as they wanted.
12 When they were filled, He * said to His adisciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost."
13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve abaskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
14 Therefore when the people saw the 1sign which He had performed, they said, "This is truly the aProphet who is to come into the world."
15 So Jesus, perceiving that they were 1intending to come and take Him by force ato make Him king, bwithdrew again to cthe mountain by Himself alone.
16 Now when evening came, His adisciples went down to the sea,
17 and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea ato Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
18 The sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.
19 Then, when they had rowed about 1three or four miles, they * saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened.
20 But He * said to them, "It is I; 1ado not be afraid."
21 So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
22 The next day athe crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other small boat there, except one, and that Jesus bhad not entered with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone.
23 There came other small boats from aTiberias near to the place where they ate the bread after the bLord chad given thanks.
24 So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats, and acame to Capernaum seeking Jesus.
25 When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "aRabbi, when did You get here?"
26 Jesus answered them and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you aseek Me, not because you saw bsigns, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
27 "Do not awork for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to beternal life, which cthe Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, dhas set His seal."
28 Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?"
29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is athe work of God, that you believe in Him whom He bhas sent."
30 So they said to Him, "aWhat then do You do for a bsign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform?
31 "aOur fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, 'bHe gave them bread out of heaven to eat.' "
32 Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven.
33 "For the bread of God is 1that which acomes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."
34 Then they said to Him, "Lord, always agive us this bread."
35 Jesus said to them, "aI am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me bwill never thirst.
36 "But aI said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe.
37 "aAll that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.
38 "For aI have come down from heaven, bnot to do My own will, but cthe will of Him who dsent Me.
39 "This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of aall that He has given Me I blose nothing, but craise it up on the last day.
40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who abeholds the Son and bbelieves in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will craise him up on the last day."
41 aTherefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, "I am the bread that bcame down out of heaven."
42 They were saying, "aIs not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother bwe know? How does He now say, 'cI have come down out of heaven'?"
43 Jesus answered and said to them, "Do not grumble among yourselves.
44 "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me adraws him; and I will braise him up on the last day.
45 "It is written ain the prophets, 'bAnd they shall all be ctaught of God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.
46 "aNot that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.
47 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes ahas eternal life.
48 "aI am the bread of life.
49 "aYour fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
50 "This is the bread which acomes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and bnot die.
51 "aI am the living bread that bcame down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, che will live forever; and the bread also which I will give dfor the life of the world is eMy flesh."
52 aThen the Jews bbegan to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?"
53 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of athe Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.
54 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will araise him up on the last day.
55 "For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.
56 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood aabides in Me, and I in him.
57 "As the aliving Father bsent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.
58 "This is the bread which acame down out of heaven; not as bthe fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread cwill live forever."
59 These things He said ain the synagogue as He taught bin Capernaum.
60 Therefore many of His adisciples, when they heard this said, "bThis is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?"
61 But Jesus, aconscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, "Does this bcause you to stumble?
62 "What then if you see athe Son of Man bascending to where He was before?
63 "aIt is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; bthe words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
64 "But there are asome of you who do not believe." For Jesus bknew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and cwho it was that would 1betray Him.
65 And He was saying, "For this reason I have asaid to you, that no one can come to Me unless bit has been granted him from the Father."
66 As a result of this many of His adisciples bwithdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.
67 So Jesus said to athe twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?"
68 aSimon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have bwords of eternal life.
69 "We have believed and have come to know that You are athe Holy One of God."
70 Jesus answered them, "aDid I Myself not choose you, bthe twelve, and yet one of you is ca devil?"
71 Now He meant Judas athe son of Simon Iscariot, for he, bone of cthe twelve, 1was going to betray Him.
About New American Standard Bible: 1995 UpdateThe New American Standard Bible, long considered a favorite study Bible by serious students of the Scriptures, has been completely revised and updated in this new 1995 translation.

Formalized language and outdated words and phrases have been replaced with their contemporary counterparts. In short, the 1995 NASB is a Bible translation that is very conducive to word-by-word study and is also able to be read (and understood) by the whole family. |

This is my friend, Meagan. I owe her big time for making her be my model for this. But, she did a fabulous job and I have a feeling her hubby is going to love receiving an email someday soon with these pictures attached...
{ click to enlarge }
Another wordless "I Love You" is an idea from Becca over at Happiness is Homemade. Becca took these pictures of her hands to spell it out for her hubby.
How to do it:
(sorry, I don't think your spouse will enjoy a picture of Meagan's "I love you" or Becca's hands--they are both beautiful, but it's gotta be YOU!)
- Take your digital pictures and upload.
- Edit them to make them look super good! Picasa is an excellent and easy-to-use editor (that edits in lots of fun ways) and you can download the program online for free HERE.
- Organize the photos in a word document. (size and layer them the way you want).
- Save the word document as a PDF.
- Then, send your hubby an email with the PDF attached. Tell him it's a very urgent document that requires his immediate attention.

Praying is part of expressing our dependence on God for all things. It's one of the blessings we can have in a relationship with God – to be invited to talk to him in prayer and ask him for things, and to know that he cares about us and listens to us. It's even greater to know that he answers our prayers according to HIS good purposes, because sometimes the things we ask for aren't even what's best for us.
Prayer is more than just asking God for things.
It's part of a relationship with God, where we do more than treat him like a slot machine and try to get what we want out of him – we wouldn't be impressed if that was how our friends treated us! We're also invited to praise God for who he is, thank him for what he's done for us and the world, say sorry for the things we've done that upset him and ask for his help to change (repent).
While we are told to ask God about anything big or small (Philippians 4:4-7), and there are no 'wrong' prayers in this sense, we do have a model in the Bible of some godly prayers as we look at the prayers of Jesus (Matthew 6:9-13) and people like Paul (Ephesians 1:15-23, 3:14-19, Colossians 1:9-14, Philippians 1:3-11). It can be helpful to learn from these prayers, and from our reading of the Bible generally, about God's priorities and concerns, and to pray in a way that's shaped by them rather than just the things we think of most often.
Do your prayers reflect God's priorities, or your own?
In this way, you might like to consider if your having great wealth, winning the lottery, good health/marriage/more children etc. are God's top priorities for your life. In the Bible God warns against the dangers of wealth in leading us to trust in ourselves and things in the world instead of God (1 Timothy 6:6-10, Mark 10:23-31). We're also encouraged to thank God for the things we have now and to be content rather than seeking after other things continually. Our motives come into it a bit too. You could consider the reason for wanting wealth. It might be that you are poor & really do need more money to survive – the Lord's prayer asks God for our 'daily bread'. However, for those of us with plenty already, it could be for selfish purposes.
What else could you be praying for?
You might consider also what ELSE you pray for, as this shows your priorities. Are they overwhelmingly things concerning yourself like material wealth, or are they focussed on the sorts of things God wants most for you and his world?
Be assured that God knows what you need before you even ask it, and he is committed to your best interests even when it might not seem like it at the time. Ultimately he most wants for you to know, love and trust him, and these are good things to keeping praying for help in at any age or time in your life.

Published in Hudson New York
The so-called "Arab Spring" continues to transition into a "Christian Winter," including in those nations undergoing democratic change, such as Egypt, where the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafis dominated the elections—unsurprisingly so, considering the Obama administration has actually been training Islamists for elections.
Arab regimes not overthrown by the "Arab Spring" are under mounting international pressure; these include the secular Assad regime of Syria, where Christians, who comprise some 10% of the population, are fearful of the future, having seen the effects of democracy in neighboring nations such as Iraq, where, since the fall of the Saddam regime, Christians have been all but decimated.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that "Christians are being refused refugee status [in the U.S.] and face persecution and many times certain death for their religious beliefs under Sharia, while whole Muslim communities are entering the U.S. by the tens of thousands per month despite the fact that they face no religious persecution."
Categorized by theme, November's batch of Muslim persecution of Christians around the world includes (but is not limited to) the following accounts, listed according to theme and in alphabetical order by country, not necessarily severity.
Ethiopia: More than 500 Muslim students assisted by Muslim police burned down a church, while screaming "Allahu Akbar" (and thus clearly positing their attack in an Islamic framework); the church was built on land used by Christians for more than 60 years, but now a court has ruled that it was built "without a permit."
Indonesia: Hundreds of "hard-line" Muslims rallied to decry the "arrogance" of a beleaguered church that, though kept shuttered by authorities, has been ordered open by the Supreme Court. Church members have been forced to hold services on the sidewalk, even as Indonesia's leading Muslim clerics warned Christians that it would be "wise and sensible" for the church to yield to "the feelings of the local believers, specifically Muslims."
Iran: The nation's minister of intelligence said that house churches in his country are a threat to Iranian youth, and acknowledged a new series of efforts to fight the growth of the house church movement in Iran.
Nigeria: Islamic militants shouting "Allahu Akbar" carried out coordinated attacks on churches and police stations, including opening fire on a congregation of "mostly women and children," killing dozens. The attacks occurred in a region where hundreds of people were earlier killed during violence that erupted after President Jonathan, a Christian, beat his closet Muslim rival in April elections.
Turkey: The ancient Aghia Sophia church has been turned into a mosque. Playing an important role in ecumenical history, the church was first transformed into a mosque in 1331 by the jihadist Ottoman state. As a sign of secularization, however, in 1920 it was turned into a museum. Its transformation again into a mosque is a reflection of Turkey's re-Islamization.
Apostasy and Proselytism
Afghanis around the world are being threatened for leaving Islam and converting to Christianity. One exile, who changed his name after fleeing Afghanistan in 2007 when an Islamic court issued an arrest warrant for his conversion, is still receiving threats: "They [Afghan officials] were very angry and saying that they will hit me by knife and kill me." Even in distant Norway last September, an Afghan convert to Christianity was scalded with boiling water and acid at a refugee processing center: "If you do not return to Islam, we will kill you," his attackers told him.
Algeria: Five Christians were jailed for "worshiping in an unregistered location." International Christian Concern (ICC), an advocacy group investigating the case, states that the five Christians are charged with "proselytizing," "unauthorized worship," and "insulting Islam."
Iran: Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani, who caught the attention of the world after being imprisoned and awaiting execution for leaving Islam, remains behind bars as officials continue to come up with excuses to force him to renounce Christianity, the latest being that "everyone is [born] a Muslim." A Christian couple "who had been snatched and illegally-detained" by authorities for eight months without any formal charges, were finally released, beaten again, and have since fled the country. While imprisoned, they were "ridiculed and debased" for their Christian faith.
Kashmir: Muslim police arrested and beat seven converts from Islam in an attempt to obtain a confession against the priest who baptized them. After the grand mufti alleged that Muslim youths were alternatively being "lured" and "forced" to convert by an Anglican priest "in exchange for money," the priest was arrested in a "humiliating" manner. Recently released, his life is now "in serious danger."
Kenya: A gang of Muslims stabbed and beat with iron rods a 25-year-old Somali refugee, breaking his teeth; he was then stripped naked, covered with dirt, and left unconscious near a church. Although he was raised Christian since age 7, he was attacked on the "assumption that as a Somali he was born into Islam and was therefore an apostate deserving of death."
Nigeria: The Muslim militant group, Boko Haram, executed two children of an ex-terrorist and "murderer" because he converted to Christianity. When still a terrorist, he "was poised to slit the throat of a Christian victim" when "he was suddenly struck with the weight of the evil he was about to commit." After finding he converted to Christianity, "Boko Haram members invaded his home, kidnapped his two children and informed him that they were going to execute them in retribution for his disloyalty to Islam. Clutching his phone, the man heard the sound of the guns that murdered his children."
General Killings
Egypt: After a Christian inadvertently killed a Muslim in a quarrel begun by the latter, thousands of Muslims rose in violence, "collectively punishing" the Copts of the village. Two Christians "not party to the altercation" were killed; others were stabbed and critically wounded. As usual, "after killing the Copts, Muslims went on a rampage, looting and burning Christian-owned homes and businesses." Even so, "Muslims insist they have not yet avenged" the death of their co-religionist, and there are fears of "a wholesale massacre of Copts." Many Christians have fled their homes or are in hiding.
Kenya: Suspected Islamic extremists, apparently angered at the use of wine during communion—Islam forbids alcohol—threw a grenade near a church compound killing two, including an 8-year-old girl, and critically wounding three others. The pastor of another congregation received a message threatening him either to flee the region "within 48 hours or you see bomb blast taking your life and we know your house, Christians will see war. Don't take it so lightly. We are for your neck."
Nigeria: In the latest round of violence, soon after mosque prayers were heard, hundreds of armed Muslims invaded Christian villages, "like a swarm of bees," killing, looting, and destroying virtually everything in sight; at the end of their four-hour rampage, some 150 people had been killed—at least 130 of them Christians. Another 45 Christians were also killed by another set of "Allahu Akbar!" shouting Muslims who burned, looted, and killed. Hundreds of people are still missing; the attacks have included the bombing of at least ten church buildings. Nearly all the Christians in the area have fled the region.
Pakistan: A 25 year-old Christian was shot dead by "an unidentified gunman in what his family believes was a radical Muslim group's targeting of a Christian." According to the son, "We firmly believe that my father was killed because of his preaching of the Bible, because there is no other reason." He began to receive threats "after voicing his desire to start a welfare organization for the poor Christians" of the region.
(General Abuse, Debasement, and Suppression of non-Muslim "Second-Class Citizens")
November's major instances of dhimmitude come from two Muslim nations notorious for violating Christian rights—Egypt and Pakistan—neither of which is even cited in the U.S. State Department's recent International Religious Freedom report:
Egypt: Following October's Maspero massacre, when the military killed dozens of Christians, some run over intentionally by armored vehicles, Egypt's military prosecutor detained 34 Christians, including teens under 16, on charges of "inciting violence, carrying arms and insulting the armed forces"; many of the detainees were not even at the scene and were just collected from the streets for "being a Christian." Three are under 16 years of age, including one who, after having an operation to extract a bullet from his jaw, was chained to his hospital bed. Hundreds of Christians also came under attack from Muslims throwing stones and bottles, after the Christians protested against the violence at Maspero: "Supporters of an Islamist candidate for upcoming parliamentary election joined in the attack on the Copts." Meanwhile, a senior leader of the Salafi party, which came in second after the Muslim Brotherhood in recent elections, blamed Christians for their own massacre, calling "Allah's curse on them." Muslim Brotherhood leaders asserted that only "drunks, druggies, and adulterers" are against the implementation of Sharia—a clear reference to Egypt's Christians.
Pakistan: A new U.S. government commission report indicates that Pakistani school textbooks foster intolerance of Christians, Hindus, and all non-Muslims, while most teachers view religious minorities as "enemies of Islam." "Religious minorities are often portrayed as inferior or second-class citizens who have been granted limited rights and privileges by generous Pakistani Muslims, for which they should be grateful," notes the report. Accordingly, in an attempted land-grab, Muslim police and cohorts of a retired military official, beat two Christian women with "batons and punches," inflicting a serious wound to one of the women's eyes after the women spoke up in defense of their land, and shot at Christians who came to help the women. "In the last few years Muslims have made several attempts to seize the land from the Christians, usually succeeding because Christians are a marginalized minority." Likewise, under a "false charge of theft," a Christian couple was arrested and severely beaten by police; the pregnant wife was "kicked and punched" even as her interrogators threatened "to kill her unborn fetus." A policeman offered to remove the theft charges if the husband would only "renounce Christianity and convert to Islam."
About this Series
Because the persecution of Christians in the Islamic world is on its way to reaching epidemic proportions, "Muslim Persecution of Christians" was developed to collate some—by no means all—of the instances of Muslim persecution of Christians that surface each month. It serves two purposes:
- Intrinsically, to document that which the mainstream media does not: the habitual, if not chronic, Muslim persecution of Christians.
- instrumentally, to show that such persecution is not "random," but systematic and interrelated—that it is rooted in a worldview inspired by Sharia.
Accordingly, whatever the anecdote of persecution, it typically fits under a specific theme, including hatred for churches and other Christian symbols; sexual abuse of Christian women; forced conversions to Islam; apostasy and blasphemy laws; theft and plunder in lieu of jizya; overall expectations for Christians to behave like cowed dhimmis (second-class citizens); and simple violence and murder. Oftentimes it is a combination thereof.
Because these accounts of persecution span different ethnicities, languages, and locales—from Morocco in the west, to India in the east, and throughout the West wherever there are Muslims—it should be clear that one thing alone binds them: Islam—whether the strict application of Islamic Sharia law, or the supremacist culture born of it.

Professional Upholstery Cleaning in Hurst TX
We all want to live 100 percent mess-free, but life gets in the way of that. The furniture that was once your pride and joy now looks like hell due to encounters with careless children, spilled wine, and pets urinating on them. What you need is a professional upholstery cleaning.
Upholstered furnishings add a dash of elegance and sophistication to your home. But as time goes by, the upholstered items, including chairs and couches collect dirt. Upholstery cleaning is the process of restoring your furniture to that elegant state it was in.
Benefits of Professional Upholstery Cleaning
In as much as you can easily handle DIY upholstery cleaning, expert solutions are required for a more in-depth cleaning procedure. Here are some of the reasons you should consider it:
Improved Air Quality
The fibrous composition of upholstery makes it easy to collect tiny particles and allergens as time goes by. Anytime the upholstery is disturbed, the allergens become airborne and enter your throat, eyes, and nose. By embracing professional upholstery cleaning, you are assured that the deep fibers in your furniture are cleaned well to eliminate any accumulated dust, pollen, or any other substance. This results in better air quality and ensures the safety of your loved ones.
Longer Furniture Life
It goes without saying that taking great care of anything increases its lifespan. Without proper cleaning, stains from multiple sources disfigure your upholstery, bad odor caused by body oils on the furniture begins to emanate, and dust accumulates. By then, you would easily throw the furniture into the dumpster. Now you see the importance of retaining a professional upholstery cleaner to preserve the stellar state of your furniture. And the icing on the cake is that the furniture will last for long and you'll save money.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Dirty, ugly-looking furniture elicits the same response as when you see a dirty person – disgust! As a matter of fact, your guests would do anything not to sit on the furniture but to save you face, they do so reluctantly. To rejuvenate your furniture and preserve its appearance, retain expert upholstery cleaning services. You will be amazed at the transformation in your residence!
Natural, Soothing Smell
If you tend to use air fresheners every time there is a bad smell on your upholstery, it's about time you stopped. You're only concealing the smell and worsening the situation. The alternative is to find a pro upholstery cleaning services provider to check all corners of your furniture and effectively provide superb cleaning. You will never regret it!
Professional Upholstery Cleaning Process
Professional upholstery cleaning services are recommended because they have the right knowledge and equipment to do a thorough job.
Every piece of furniture is different in terms of design and material. This means the technique used to clean a leather seat won't work for a suede one. After determining the right cleaning approach, a heater fabric-cleaning spray is applied to lift dirt out of the upholstery fibers. From there, a strong rinse and extraction machine gets rid of the dirt and cleaning substance.
The way your upholstery looks will be a direct reflection of the sort of person you are. Get a professional upholstery cleaning today to give your furniture a renewed look and smell. This is the best decision ever for your furniture!

Charleston-based Sol Driven Train must maintain vast stores of musical soul coal, as they've averaged nearly 150 shows a year since 2005, sharing the stage with the likes of Michael Franti, Richie Havens, Keller Williams, Arlo Guthrie, and Blues Traveler along the way.
Ward Buckheister (guitar and trombone), Rusty Cole (bass), Wes Powers (drums), Russell Clarke (saxophones), and Joel Timmons (guitar) describe their sound as a "sonic schizophrenia" of rotating lead vocals and instrumentation. Among their primary influences, they cite John Prine, Paul Simon, author Tom Robbins, Afro-Caribbean music, and Southern rock. Songs like "The Cave" could rock the Kasbah, offering an exotic melody reminiscent of the Middle East, while "Stevie Song #3" has reggae-tinged folk flair. Regardless of style, the band's lyrical content remains wonderfully unpredictable, no doubt due to the presence of numerous singer-songwriters.
Sponsored by Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, the group released their ninth independently produced work, Watermelon, this July Fourth. If the past is prologue for Sol Driven Train, expect them to continue a joyful and quirky ride down the right track.

Transformation, Aesthetics, and Beauty: Translating Zen Master Ikkyu and Classical Chinese Poetry
Translators Sarah Messer and Kidder Smith will introduce Zen Master Ikkyu, an unconventional 14th century enlightened Zen Master who wrote poems in Classical Chinese, upended gender roles, and transformed the aesthetics of medieval Japan. They will also discuss how they translated Ikkyu's poetry since Sarah didn't know any Chinese at the start. All of us together will then translate a poem from Chinese into English, using the same method that Sarah and Kidder employed. We will conclude by enjoying some cheese from White Lotus Farms (where Sarah works), understanding that cheesemaking also involves transformation, aesthetics, mindfulness, and beauty.
RC alumna Sarah Messer is the author of four books, a hybrid history/memoir, Red House (Viking), a book of translations, Having Once Paused: Poems of Zen Master Ikkyu (University of Michigan Press) and two poetry books Bandit Letters (New Issues), and Dress Made of Mice (Black Lawrence Press). Messer co-founded One Pause Poetry and teaches Creative Writing at the RC and is a cheesemaker at White Lotus Farms.
For many years Kidder Smith taught Chinese history at Bowdoin College in Maine, where he also chaired the Asian Studies Program. He is the lead translator of Sun Tzu—the Art of War (Shambhala), and (with Sarah Messer), Having Once Paused: Poems of Zen Master Ikkyu (University of Michigan Press).
James and Grace Lee Boggs left a remarkable legacy through their shared activism, writing, and mentoring. To mark what would be James Boggs's 100th birthday Spring 2019, the James and Grace Lee Boggs Center in Detroit revisits his writings and activism, exploring the ways his and Grace's efforts to bring about revolutionary change continue through a powerful lineage of thought and activism in contemporary community work in Detroit.

Literati is excited to welcome the Creative Writing Sub-concentration seniors in the English Department at the University of Michigan for a night of poetry and prose readings!
Each year the Creative Writing Sub-concentration selects no more than 14 students who spend their senior year working with faculty to complete a creative thesis of poetry or fiction. These collections, the same size as many MFA theses, are first attempts to create book-length manuscripts, and to prepare the writers for their work in the future.
Readers include…
Reema Baydoun transferred to the University of Michigan as a sophomore, and has since spent her time in Ann Arbor studying English and caring for her cat. As an Arab-American poet, she often spends weekends in Dearborn for inspiration and good food.
RC student Ariel Everitt hails from a one-stoplight town in Northeast Michigan and is a junior studying English and Creative Writing at the University of Michigan, where they have been a research assistant in a biogerontology lab, become a peer writing consultant, and won a Hopwood Award. Their fiction tackles the boundaries between people and genres, applying dream logic to science and human connections wherever possible. Ariel plans to pursue an MFA in Creative Writing in the near future.
Madeleine Gaudin is a writer and future Elementary School teacher originally from Austin, Texas. Formerly the Managing Arts Editor at the Michigan Daily, she wrote about movies, music, books and the wonderful hellscape of the Internet for four years before turning her attention to ghost stories and fiction about the apocalypse.
Jenny Hong is a senior studying English with a Sub-concentration in Creative Writing (Poetry). She loves cooking, blogging, and binging TV series on lazy days—and also chatting with people around campus. She is sad that she will no longer be a student in May and enroll in workshops that will give her friendly nudges to write, but she's also pretty excited for what's next!
Kate Velguth is a senior studying English. She's received four Hopwood Awards, and her fiction has appeared in The Washington Square Review, Pleiades, and elsewhere." Her thesis, a collection of short stories, is entitled The World of Hidden Things. She hopes to teach English in South Korea next year.

He has had the pleasure of receiving two Hopwood Awards in Drama, two Wilde Awards, the National Partners of the American Theatre Playwriting Award from The Kennedy Center, and has spent this past summer in internships and residences with The Public Theater and O'Neill Theater Center. He'd love to thank the University of Michigan and Literati for this privilege, and hopes you enjoy his goofy writing!
Ellison Zak is a senior transfer student at the University of Michigan studying English, creative writing, and linguistics. Her thesis grapples with the secrets we all keep and the toll they can take on ourselves and our relationships. She spends her summers between school road tripping across the country and camping at national parks. More than anything else, she hopes to find employment after graduation.
Literati is excited to welcome poet Sue William Silverman in celebration of her new poetry collection If the Girl Never Learns: Poems. Sue will be joined by fellow poets Keith Taylor, Elizabeth Schumhl, and Marc Sheehan who will be reading from their own work.
About If the Girl Never Learns:
From the opening lines, it's clear The Girl at the center of these poems is damaged–which is another way to say she's a survivor. If the Girl Never Learns moves from the personal to the mythic to the apocalyptic, because The Girl would do anything, even go to hell, to save her soul. So, she resists, takes action to overturn society's suffocating ideal of Good Girldom. The poems' sense of breathlessness reflects The Girl's absolute need to control her own destiny, to outrun her past, while at the same time chasing a future she alone has envisioned and embodied. Because The Girl is, above all else, a badass.
Sue William Silverman's first poetry collection is Hieroglyphics in Neon. She is also the author of four books of creative nonfiction. Her most recent book, The Pat Boone Fan Club: My Life as a White Anglo-Saxon Jew, was a finalist in Foreword Reviews' INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award. Her memoir, Because I Remember Terror, Father, I Remember You, won the AWP Award, and Love Sick: One Woman's Journey through Sexual Addiction is also a Lifetime TV original movie. Her craft book is Fearless Confessions: A Writer's Guide to Memoir, and she teaches in the MFA in Writing Program at Vermont College of Fine Arts.
The poet Marc Sheehan is a life-long Michigan resident. He has earned degrees from Western Michigan University, Central Michigan University and the University of Michigan, where he received a Major Hopwood Award in Poetry. His honors also include grants from the Michigan Council for the Arts and Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Arts. He has served as Writer Center Coordinator at the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art in Grand Rapids, and has reviewed books for both the Lansing Capital Times and On the Town.
Elizabeth Schmuhl is a multidisciplinary artist whose work appears in Michigan Quarterly Review, The Rumpus, Paper Darts, PANK, Hobart, Pinwheel, and elsewhere. She has worked at various nonprofits, including the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, and currently works at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

RC Creative Writing alumna Carmen Bugan is a poet and author of the critically acclaimed memoir Burying the Typewriter. She visits in support of her collection of new and selected poems, Lilies from America. Book signing to follow. Free and open to the public.
About the collection: This selection of Carmen Bugan's poems offers readers an experience with all the surprise and continuity of a long, complex novel. Childhood, youth, the move from a traditional rural world, dominated by lovingly described grandparents, to exile, urban life, parents aging, children growing – all the private normalities which are so often the material of poetry are here. But, from the striking opening, where the poet's parents work secretly on a typewriter, buried and dug up after the children are in bed, on Samizdat protests against the government of Romania, normality collides with history. A reality of state surveillance, abuse and incarceration fills the poems with urgency, even as memories are revisited and sometimes revised.
Carmen Bugan's books include the memoir Burying the Typewriter: Childhood Under the Eye of the Secret Police (Picador), which has received international critical praise, the Bread Loaf Conference Bakeless Prize for Nonfiction, and was a finalist in the George Orwell Prize for Political Writing, and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize. Her collections of poems are Releasing the Porcelain Birds and The House of Straw (both with Shearsman Books), and Crossing the Carpathians(Carcanet Press). She is also the author of a critical study on Seamus Heaney and East European Poetry in Translation: Poetics of Exile. Her work has been translated into several languages and she is a regular reviewer for Harvard Review Online. Bugan was awarded a large grant from the Arts Council of England, was a Creative Arts Fellow in Literature at Wolfson College, Oxford University, was a Hawthornden Fellow, the 2018 Helen DeRoy Professor in Honors at the University of Michigan, and is a George Orwell Prize Fellow. She has a doctorate in English literature from Balliol College, Oxford University. She now lives in the USA with her husband and children.
We welcome contributors to Michigan State University Press's anthology Respect: The Poetry of Detroit Music. featuring Dawn McDuffie, Sonya Pouncy, Keith Taylor, Ken Mikowloski, Dennis Hinrichsen, Brian Gilmore, Charlie Brice, Cal Freeman, Zilka Joseph and M.L. Liebler. Free and open to the public. A signing will follow. The event is free and open to the public.
About the book: While there have been countless books written about Detroit, none have captured its incredible musical history like this one. Detroit artists have forged the paths in many music genres, producing waves of creative energy that continue to reverberate across the country and around the world. This anthology both documents and celebrates this part of Detroit's history, capturing the emotions that the music inspired in its creators and in its listeners. The range of contributors speaks to the global impact of Detroit's music scene–Grammy winners, Pulitzer Prize winners, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, and poet laureates all come together in this rich and varied anthology.

GREENSLADE The Full Edition – Live 2001
Highlights include 'Cakewalk', very keyboard driven and not unlike Camel; 'Feathered Friends', an up-tempo blues meets jazz workout and the exceptional vocal talents of John Young…Interesting listen – very laid back sound, with plenty of musical variety mixing jazz, blues, AOR and progressive music well.(****)
Jason Ritchie, www.getreadytorock.com (February 2004)
It was a splendid evening that took many of the audience back to a time when 'music was music'…
Martin Hudson, Classic Rock Society (March 2004)
…There's more prog-minded magic in store this month, as Greenslade bounce back from almost 30 years in exile, with Live 2001 – The Full Edition (Angel Air). Recorded on February 10 2001, when Greenslade appeared at a Classic Rock Society gig in Rotherham, England, the album reunites founder Dave Greenslade with just one former colleague, bassist Tony Reeves. But with sterling performances from new vocalist John Young and drummer John Trotter, Live 2001 captures the band's entire set that night – 12 songs that recall some of the original group's best loved numbers, at the same time as looking forward with a handful of fresh compositions carved exquisitely in traditional Greenslade form. A new Greenslade album is apparently in the works – if Live 2001 is anything to judge by, it should be a winner.
Jo-Anne Greene, Goldmine (March 2004)
…Tracks are taken from throughout the band's career…there is definitely an audience of proggers that will want this CD

The mother of 15-year-old Olivia Campbell — who attended the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester England, with a friend — confirmed her daughter's death in a Facebook post.
"RIP my darling precious gorgeous girl Olivia Campbell taken far far too soon go sing with the angels and keep smiling mummy loves you so much," Charlotte Campbell said the post on her Facebook page early Wednesday local time.
Charlotte Campbell told CNN that she has not heard from her daughter, Olivia Campbell, since the night of the Manchester Arena bombing on May 22, 2017. Olivia, 15, had gone to the Ariana Grande concert at the arena to celebrate a friend's birthday. (CNN)
Olivia was registered as missing person No. 13 hours after the Manchester Arena bombing that killed 22 people.
"We thought she would have just walked home by that point," Charlotte told CNN earlier on Tuesday.
Campbell had not heard from Olivia since Monday night. Her daughter had called her earlier in the evening, before a suspected suicide attacker detonated a bomb outside the arena as throngs of teenagers were leaving the show.
The suspected bomber died in the blast Monday night, which left the wounded and the dead scattered across the arena's bloodied entrance and sent screaming girls running for cover, according to police.
"We're going to (search) … and we'll do it every single day until we find that little girl," Olivia's stepfather Paul Hodgson said in an earlier interview, his voice breaking. "Whatever it takes."
Olivia had gone to the concert with her friend Adam to celebrate his birthday. Her stepfather said Olivia liked to sing herself. She loved music.
"It was like a dream come true to her," Hodgson said of the concert.
Olivia had called her mother to say how happy she was to be at the arena. She was waiting for Ariana Grande to come on.
"She thanked me and said she loved me and that was the last I heard from her," Campbell said earlier, close to tears.
When she learned about the attack, Campbell said, she notified the police, called local hospitals and, with the help of a friend, sent out descriptions of Olivia on Facebook and Twitter.
"I'm going to find her," Hodgson said earlier. "I'm going to bring her home."
Campbell and Hodgson had said they would continue sharing Olivia's photos in hopes that someone has seen her.
"If one person sees it and that one person sees her, we can get her back," he said. "That's all we ask. We don't want much …. At this present moment, we need our Oli back."
"I love her so much," Campbell said, in tears. "I want her home. I need her home. She is my baby. I miss her so much. If she is out there, just phone, just phone. I'll be there. I don't care where she is. I'll be there."

NEW YORK (AP) — Harry's has carved out a niche selling men shaving razors direct to their doors, elbowing in on an industry long dominated by names like Gillette and Schick.
In the process, the company says it found that 1 million women were using its products for their shaving needs.
So its logical next step is Flamingo, a direct-to-consumer hair removal and body-care brand for women that launches Tuesday.
Flamingo's leaders say their aim is to make women more comfortable talking about shaving and waxing.
"We want to normalize the fact that women might have hair here, or there, and if they choose to remove it, we want to support that," Allie Melnick, the general manager for Flamingo says in an interview with The Associated Press.
Flamingo is the first brand to emerge from Harry's Labs, an offshoot of the company that has chipped away at the market share of industry giant Gillette, capitalizing on consumer frustration with pricey razors. Harry's received $112 million in new funding earlier this year to develop new brands, with a vision to becoming a major consumer-products company to compete with the likes of Gillette parent Proctor & Gamble.
Flamingo offers a five-blade razor, waxing kits, shaving gel and body lotion for women. The products will be sold on its own direct-to-consumer website , a space where the brand's leaders Brittania Boey and Melnick hope to open frank conversations about women and body hair.
The duo says Harry's internal research shows nearly all U.S. women choose to shave or wax off some of their body hair. They say Flamingo wants to offer products and tips to help women do that while talking openly about furry toes, back hair and fuzzy upper lips.
Harry's launched as a direct-to-consumer company in 2013. It has since expanded into body care for men and now sells its products in Target and Walmart. Along with rival Dollar Shave Club, the company shook up the $2.8 billion U.S. men's shaving industry, forcing Gillette to slash its razor prices and revamp its marketing strategy to stem a decline in market share.
Harry's remains a relatively small player, with 2 percent of the market, according to Euromonitor International market research firm. But its direct-to-consumer model has helped create a sense of intimacy with its customer base that bigger brands find hard to replicate.
Consumers have a growing appetite for tailored offerings that make small companies appealing, according to a recent report from management consulting firm Bain & Co., which cited both Harry's and Dollar Shave Clubs as examples. Chobani's and Noosa's have similarly disrupted the yogurt industry, while digital upstarts like Casper's helped drive Mattress Firm into bankruptcy.
Flamingo hopes for the same success in the $1 billion U.S. women's shaving industry, where Gillette holds 50 percent of the market, according to Euromonitor. The new brand will compete in a more fractured landscape than the one Harry's encountered for men's shavers five years ago.
Several new online brands have already seized attention, if not yet significant market share.
Among them are Angel Shave Club, which donates part of its sales to the Malala Fund to promote education for girls abroad. The start-up Billie made a splash since launching last year with ads showing body hair — including a gif of a woman shaving her toe — while declaring war on the "pink tax," the notion that women typically pay more than men for the same product.
"It is likely that more women's shave clubs will enter the U.S. market before one or two players emerge on top," Kayla Villena, senior analyst at Euromonitor International, said in a recent report that preceded Flamingo's launch.
Melnick and Boey said more than 1 million women have bought Harry's products, making Flamingo a logical first choice for the company's newest brand.
"My wife uses Harry's now, too. She was stealing mine, so I got her one," said Cody Chastain, a 42-year-old Roseville, California, man who likes Harry's because of the convenience of its delivery service.
Flamingo mirrors Harry's in pricing and the simplicity of its offerings. It has one five-blade razor with a handle that comes in three different colors, priced at $9. Cartridge replacements are $2.25 per blade. It's a deliberate contrast to the array of women's razors from Gillette and No. 2 player Schick, which range from disposable razors for around $1 a piece to higher-end razors at 4$ or $5 per blade replacement.
One notable difference separates Flamingo from the men's razors Harry's offers. Flamingo will offer its products a-la-carte only because women's shaving routines vary too widely for subscription plans, Melnick says. Some shave only during warm seasons. Other might not bother shaving their legs if they are not in a romantic relationship. And, she says, women are very particular about which part of their body to shave or wax.
Melnick has clearly gotten comfortable talking about her own lifelong battle with body hair.
"I keep my arm hair, except when I demonstrate our wax strip. But I choose to remove my toe hair," she says. "It's all very personal."

A wearable technology made from stretchy, lightweight material could make heart health monitoring easier and more accurate than existing electrocardiograph machines — a technology that has changed little in almost a century.
The electronic tattoo (e-tattoo) technology is graphene-based and is placed on the skin to measure a variety of body responses, from electrical to biomechanical signals. The device is so lightweight and stretchable that it can be placed over the heart for extended periods with little or no discomfort. It also measures cardiac health in two ways, taking electrocardiograph (ECG) and seismocardiograph (SCG) readings simultaneously. ECG records the rates of electrical activity produced each time the heart beats; SCG is a measurement technique using chest vibrations associated with heartbeats. Powered remotely by a smartphone, the e-tattoo is the first ultrathin and stretchable technology to measure both ECG and SCG.
ECG readings alone are not accurate enough for determining heart health but they provide additional information when combined with SCG signal recordings. Like a form of quality control, the SCG indicates the accuracy of the ECG readings.
Although soft e-tattoos for ECG sensing are not new, other sensors such as the SCG sensor are still made from non-stretchable materials, making them bulky and uncomfortable to wear. The e-tattoo is made of a piezoelectric polymer called polyvinylidene fluoride that is capable of generating its own electric charge in response to mechanical stress. The device also includes 3D digital image correlation technology that is used to map chest vibrations in order to identify the best location on the chest to place the e-tattoo.
Usually, an ECG measurement requires going to a doctor's office where heart health can be monitored only for a couple of minutes at a time. This device can be worn for days, providing constant heart monitoring. A smartphone app stores the data safely and shows a heart beating on the screen in real time.

Supanniga Group Launches Sood Kua, Delivering Casual Street Food
Bangkok (Thailand) – January 16, 2020 (travelindex.com) – Supanniga Group is delighted to announce Sood Kua, a delivery service offering a selection of Supanniga-style dishes centering on crab roe with roasted salt and chili mix (kua prik gluer). A play on the word "kua" which has a dual meaning of 'maximum' and 'roasted', Sood Kua delivers the great taste of roasted ingredients.
In true Supanniga fashion, Sood Kua's menu revolves around roasted salt and chili mix commonly found in Trad province in the east of Thailand. The dishes are inspired by Khun Yai Somsri Chantra's recipes and are rarely found in restaurants nowadays.
Despite having the same name, Sood Kua's salt and chili mix is different from Chinese-style salt and chili mixes as well as mixes from other regions in Thailand. It is a distinctive mixture of Himalayan salt and bird's eye chili with garlic, lime and a little pinch of sugar. The mixture is roasted in a flaming hot wok with a protein of choice.
Sood Kua introduces four dishes which are crab roe, minced shrimp, minced pork and a combination of all. All are served on top of steamed organic jasmine rice from farmers in Muangpon, Khon Kaen and as fried rice, with options of fried or boiled duck egg. It's one-of-a-kind, ready-to-eat dish that flawlessly reflects Supanniga's character.
Four selections of Sood Kua's menu are:
– Crab roe with Trad-style roasted salt and chili mix fried rice or on rice (185 baht)
– Minced shrimp with Trad-style roasted salt and chili mix fried rice or on rice (185 baht)
– Minced pork with Trad-style roasted salt and chili mix fried rice or on rice (105 baht)
– Combination of crab roe, minced shrimp, and minced pork with Trad-style roasted salt and chili mix fried rice or on rice (145) The prices include a fried or boiled duck egg.
These scrumptious delicacies from Trad will be delivered to your doorstep – be it at home, at work or any other location within Bangkok – in environmentally conscious packaging that perfectly preserves taste and temperature. Sood Kua also offers a special discount for customers who opt to reduce waste by requesting not to receive disposable utensils and tissue papers.
Sood Kua is now available for order through Line@supannigagroup, Supanniga's call center, LineMan and Grab Food.
