New U.P. golf course honors tribal tradition
TOPICS:golf courseHannahville Indian CommunityIsland Resort & CasinoSage RunSweetgrass
Posted By: ABC 10 July 15, 2016
HARRIS — – The second golf course that Hannahville Indian Community is building as part of its Island Resort & Casino will be called Sage Run, and like existing Sweetgrass, the name pays homage to Potawatomi tribal tradition.
"We selected sage because we wanted to highlight another of our four traditional tribal medicines – along with cedar, tobacco and sweet grass," says Tony Mancilla, Island Resort and Casino General Manager and a tribal member. "The word 'run' in the name references the 10 holes that traverse significantly downhill on the course."
Mancilla and course architect Paul Albanese – of the golf course architecture firm Albanese & Lutzke that designed and is constructing the new course – say Sage Run is progressing well. "We're planting nine fairways in mid-August through early fall, and the other nine next spring as soon as we can," says Mancilla. "Our goal is to have a soft opening in Fall 2017 and a grand opening in 2018."
Albanese also designed Sweetgrass, ranked one of golf-rich Michigan's finest via Golfweek's"America's Best Courses You Can Play" program. He is excited by the course design overall and specifically as pertains to the drumlin running through Sage Run. A drumlin is a glacially formed geographical formation typically shaped as an elongated oval hill. "Our goal was to use the drumlin so that golfers interact with it throughout their round," says Albanese, a Harvard graduate who has designed and helped build courses worldwide. "We've been able to do that by routing down the drumlin in a number of places, and they'll be really dramatic holes we believe players will enjoy immensely."
Mancilla too believes Sage Run will impress golf enthusiasts, and he says it's an ideal complement to Sweetgrass. "Sage Run will provide an amazing 'wow factor' – there isn't a weak hole on it," he says. "It will be a resort-style course with Sweetgrass being more of a championship-style design. Golfers who play both will experience two very different designs with very different terrain. Whereas Sweetgrass is a prairie-style course with rolling, fescue-lined fairways, Sage Run is 75-percent tree lined with holes running up and mostly down the drumlin."
Sweetgrass is host course of the Island Resort Championship, a Symetra Tour "Road to the LPGA" tournament. Some of Sage Run's more noteworthy design aspects include furry-edged bunkers, a number of short par-4's – some with blind shots to greens that can be reached by tee shots carrying past the rise in front of them – and single-row irrigation, which elicits changing turf as it nears fairway edges and into the rough.
"When we discussed what style and character we wanted to create at Sage Run, we used Royal County Down as our original inspiration," says Albanese, referring to the acclaimed Northern Ireland golf club that is rated among the world's finest. "Sage Run will have that kind of rough and tumble appearance, with lots of earth tones, browns and tans – it's what the landscape calls for."
Albanese & Lutzke's construction manager at Sage Run is Michael O'Connor. O'Connor has an impressive, deep resume that includes helping build some of the country's most iconic courses including at Kiawah Island. Additional information:	http://www.sweetgrassgolfclub.com/or call 877-ISL-GREEN.

Roma è la città che conserva il maggior numero di obelischi al mondo. Questi monumenti, in gran parte di origine egizia, furono trasportati nella capitale dell'Impero romano a partire dall'epoca di Augusto, sotto il cui dominio era stato conquistato l'Egitto, dopo la battaglia di Azio del 31 a.C. In alcuni casi, con il medesimo granito utilizzato dagli Egizi furono realizzati obelischi direttamente in epoca romana: il monolite restava privo di iscrizioni, oppure vi venivano copiati, con errori e fraintendimenti, i geroglifici dai modelli dell'epoca faraonica.

Gli obelischi egiziani utilizzati in epoca imperiale furono nuovamente rialzati nella Roma papale, a partire da papa Sisto V, come punti di arrivo e di convergenza visiva nel nuovo assetto urbanistico dato alla città, diventandone una caratteristica, ripresa poi anche in epoca moderna con nuove forme. Roma possedeva anche un obelisco axumita, non egizio, l'obelisco di Axum, restituito dall'Italia all'Etiopia nel 2005.

Ponendosi al centro dell'incrocio tra via del Quirinale e via delle Quattro Fontane, è possibile vedere contemporaneamente tre obelischi: Quirinale, Sallustiano, Esquilino. È l'unico punto nel mondo dove ciò sia possibile.

Obelischi antichi

Gli obelischi di Sisto V

Sisto V utilizzò programmaticamente il riposizionamento di obelischi antichi come segnale di potenza della Chiesa e del suo papato, e anche come cardini del riordino della città che aveva intrapreso, raddrizzando strade, aprendo rettifili, costruendo e ricostruendo palazzi. Al suo architetto Domenico Fontana fu affidato anche il riposizionamento di tutti gli obelischi.

Obelisco Vaticano

L'Obelisco Vaticano (piazza San Pietro) è alto 25,5 metri, è di origine egiziana (da Eliopoli) e privo di geroglifici; spostato ad Alessandria d'Egitto, fu in seguito portato a Roma da Caligola nel 40 e collocato sulla spina del Circo di Nerone. Rimase in questa posizione a fianco dell'antica basilica di San Pietro ed è l'unico obelisco antico di Roma che non sia mai caduto. Fu spostato e posto al centro di piazza san Pietro il 10 settembre del 1586, primo dei quattro  che Domenico Fontana fece rialzare.

Obelisco Esquilino

L'Obelisco Esquilino (piazza dell'Esquilino) è alto 14,75 metri, fu realizzato probabilmente all'epoca di Domiziano ad imitazione degli obelischi egiziani e collocato insieme all'obelisco del Quirinale all'ingresso del Mausoleo di Augusto. Qui venne ritrovato nel 1527 e fu eretto nel 1587, sempre per ordine di papa Sisto V e ad opera di Domenico Fontana, di fronte all'abside di Santa Maria Maggiore, a segnare il fuoco prospettico verso la basilica della nuova via Sistina voluta dal medesimo.

Obelisco Lateranense

L'Obelisco Lateranense (piazza San Giovanni in Laterano) ha un'altezza di 32,18 m. Fu realizzato all'epoca dei faraoni Tutmosis III e Tutmosis IV (XV secolo a.C.) e proviene dal tempio di Ammone a Tebe (Karnak) in Egitto. Fu portato a Roma per volere dell'imperatore Costanzo II nel 357 ed eretto sulla spina del Circo Massimo, dove già si trovava l'obelisco Flaminio. Venne ritrovato in tre pezzi nel 1587 e eretto nel 1588, non di fronte al prospetto della basilica, ma in corrispondenza della Loggia delle benedizioni lateranense, punto finale del segmento viario costituito dalla via Merulana - aperta appunto da Sisto V - in continuità prospettica con la basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore.

Obelisco Flaminio

L'Obelisco Flaminio (piazza del Popolo) è alto 25,90 metri e fu fatto innalzare in Egitto da Ramesse II; venne portato a Roma nel 10 da Augusto e collocato sulla spina del Circo Massimo. Fu ritrovato nel 1587 ed eretto ad opera di Domenico Fontana, nel 1589.

L'obelisco di Innocenzo X

Obelisco Agonale

L'Obelisco Agonale (piazza Navona) fa parte della Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi ed è alto 16,53 metri. Realizzato all'epoca dell'imperatore Domiziano imitando i modelli egiziani e copiandone i geroglifici, fu collocato presso Albano; nel 311 Massenzio lo fece spostare nel circo della villa omonima sulla via Appia antica. Nel 1651 papa Innocenzo X lo fece recuperare e l'architetto Gian Lorenzo Bernini lo innalzò al centro di piazza Navona.

Gli obelischi di Pio VI

Obelisco del Quirinale

L'Obelisco del Quirinale (piazza del Quirinale) fa parte della fontana dei Dioscuri ed è alto 14,63 metri. Gemello dell'obelisco dell'Esquilino, fu ritrovato alle fondamenta dell'Ospedale di San Rocco a Ripetta, durante la demolizione dell'antico fabbricato che fu ricostruito ex novo tra il 1772 e il 1776. L'obelisco fu eretto nel 1786, per volere del papa Pio VI.

Obelisco Sallustiano

L'Obelisco Sallustiano (piazza Trinità dei Monti) è alto 13,91 metri, fu realizzato in epoca romana, copiando geroglifici dei faraoni Seti I e Ramesse II; decorava gli Horti Sallustiani. Donato nel 1783 al papa Clemente XII dai Ludovisi, fu poi eretto davanti alla chiesa della Trinità dei Monti, in cima alla scalinata che sale da piazza di Spagna (1789).

Obelisco di Montecitorio

L'Obelisco di Montecitorio (piazza Montecitorio) ha una altezza di 30 metri. Fu costruito all'epoca del faraone Psammetico II della XXVI dinastia (594-589 a.C.) e collocato nella città di Eliopoli in Egitto; venne portato a Roma nel 10 da Augusto, insieme all'obelisco Flaminio, e collocato come gnomone dell'Orologio di Augusto in Campo Marzio. Crollato a seguito di un incendio, venne fatto spostare e rialzare da papa Pio VI nel 1792.

Gli altri obelischi

Obelisco della Minerva

L'Obelisco della Minerva (piazza della Minerva) arrivò a Roma con l'obelisco del Pantheon e quello di Dogali, fu rinvenuto nel 1665 presso il convento annesso a Santa Maria sopra Minerva e rialzato davanti alla chiesa nel 1667 per volere di papa Alessandro VII, secondo un progetto ideato da Gian Lorenzo Bernini, con un elefantino nel basamento.

Obelisco del Pantheon

L'Obelisco del Pantheon (piazza della Rotonda) fu realizzato all'epoca di Ramsete II e portato a Roma da Domiziano, che lo collocò come decorazione dell'Iseo Campense (tempio dedicato alla divinità egiziana Iside) con l'obelisco della Minerva e quello di Dogali. Ritrovato nel 1373, fu collocato davanti al Pantheon nel 1711 per volere di papa Clemente XI, sulla fontana di Giacomo Della Porta.

Obelisco di Villa Celimontana

Tra le antichità della famiglia Mattei, conservate nella Villa Celimontana sul Celio si trovava questo obelisco frammentario (originale è solo la metà superiore), risalente all'epoca del faraone Ramsete II. Fu rialzato nei giardini nel 1820.

Obelisco del Pincio

L'Obelisco del Pincio (Viale dell'Obelisco - Pincio) venne realizzato all'epoca di Adriano in onore di Antinoo e collocato inizialmente in Egitto; Eliogabalo lo fece spostare per ornare la spina del Circo Variano nella sua residenza suburbana. Rinvenuto nel XVI secolo fuori Porta Maggiore (dal luogo di ritrovamento, presso le mura aureliane, viene chiamato "obelisco Aureliano"), solo nel 1822 fu innalzato nei giardini del Pincio per volere di papa Pio VII.

Obelisco di Dogali

L'Obelisco di Dogali (via delle Terme di Diocleziano) arrivò a Roma con l'Obelisco del Pantheon e quello della Minerva, proveniva da Eliopoli. Fu rinvenuto nel 1883 e venne rialzato nel 1887 dall'architetto Francesco Azzurri davanti alla Stazione Termini per commemorare i caduti della battaglia di Dogali in Eritrea; nel 1925 fu spostato nei giardini presso via delle terme di Diocleziano.

Obelischi moderni

Obelisco di Villa Medici

L'Obelisco di Villa Medici faceva parte della collezione Medici conservata nella villa sul Pincio e fu portato nel 1790 a Firenze. Nel XIX secolo ne fu realizzata una copia collocata nei giardini della villa in sostituzione dell'originale.

Obelischi di Villa Torlonia
Gli obelischi di Villa Torlonia furono realizzati in granito di Baveno appositamente per la villa della famiglia sulla via Nomentana, dove furono innalzati nel 1842.

Obelisco del Foro Italico
L'Obelisco del Foro Italico voluto da Renato Ricci, è costituito da un blocco monolitico di marmo di Carrara, venne eretto nel 1932 davanti al complesso sportivo del Foro Italico, sorto alla base di Monte Mario e che originariamente prese il nome da Benito Mussolini, a cui l'obelisco era dedicato. Fu l'ultimo grande trasporto effettuato via Tevere.

Obelisco di Marconi

Alto 45 metri, venne eretto nel 1959 nel quartiere dell'EUR nell'ambito degli abbellimenti della città in occasione dei Giochi olimpici del 1960. La struttura in cemento armato è rivestita da 92 pannelli scolpiti in marmo di Carrara. L'obelisco, opera di Arturo Dazzi, è dedicato all'inventore Guglielmo Marconi.

Obelisco Novecento

Inaugurato il 23 ottobre 2004, si tratta di una scultura di Arnaldo Pomodoro, che si trova in piazzale Pier Luigi Nervi, davanti al PalaLottomatica, nel quartiere Europa.

Good news for coffee drinkers: two new studies found that people who drink coffee daily tend to live longer than those who don't. The benefit appeared the same for both regular coffee and decaf. CBS News' Chris Martinez reports.


Welcome to Barth's Market! Your source for the freshest meats, seafood, and produce since 1940. Keith Buscio, Public Relations Director, sat down with Jim Barth of Barth's Market to learn a little bit more about his success story.
JB: Barth's Market is a family run butcher shop and grocer that has been in business since 1940. My grandfather had three businesses in Germany, and as the war broke out, my family fled Germany. They had one store in Elizabeth, NJ, and settled in Irvington, NJ. Eventually they moved to Union, NJ. My father and my grandfather were together and had a store in Union, NJ, Union Pork Store. While they were working with Union Pork Store, construction was starting in New Providence, NJ for Barth's Market. They ran the store up until 1993, that's when I took over the store.
KB: What challenges did you encounter while managing Barth's Market that Provident Bank was able to help you with?
JB: When we were looking to expand, the owner of the property where Provident Bank is located, wanted to put a convenience store on the site where we wanted to expand our store. I contacted the Bank, and although we were talking to many banks at the time, John Falco, Relationship Manager/Team Leader, met with me and said that he knew the property owner and advised me that the Bank could possibly help us to buy the land and do the build-out. We had already spoke with several other banks who all had bank fees that were double Provident's. I knew that John was very aggressive, but in a good way. He stayed alert and on top of this situation. Plus, he was easy to get a hold of at any time, day or night - which made the decision a no-brainer. John helped us buy the land and he was with us every step of the way.
KB: How did Provident Bank demonstrate its brand promise of "Commitment You Can Count On" to help overcome these challenges and enable you to succeed?
JB: When we were applying for our construction loan, Provident gave us personalized attention and understood our business needs. We knew that we had a partner during our expansion. There were many hurdles that we had to overcome and every time Provident met the challenges. It may have been additional funding or advice - and that's how we knew we found a true partner. Provident exceeded all my expectations. I've worked with other banks in the past but without Provident, I don't believe the project would have become a reality. Keep in mind, we had over $800,000 in change orders due to poor soil and other issues along the way. But Provident came through with the financing, and now our business is tremendous.
KB: How do you perceive your bank as a partner in your business? How important is a relationship with a bank?
JB: As a community-minded company, we are fortunate to have Provident as our neighbor. We literally share the parking lot with our local branch, so we know the team at the local branch very well. My family members know Provident's managers and many other local employees on a first name basis.
KB: What advice would you give to entrepreneurs looking to make the leap to start or expand their business?
JB: It certainly helps to have a solid bank. When we had our grand opening, I gave that advice to 150 people at our store. I told everyone that Provident Bank is there to support you. As you know, true entrepreneurs with a vision like mine, overcome many obstacles. Your need to pick the right team. This includes your bank, your lawyer, your accountant, your engineers, etc. Provident is part of our winning team. Thanks to this team, we have and will continue to generate some tremendous numbers. Everyone I've worked with from Paula Palermo, Donna Purdon, John Falco, Rose Owens, and the team at the New Providence branch have been extremely friendly and helpful. It's been such a wonderful experience.

Liverpool regained the initiative in the Premier League title race as they moved three points clear of Manchester City with a 3-0 win over Premier League.
Man City had started the day top of the pile on goal difference but Jurgen Klopp's men put on a masterclass of attacking football to ease back to the summit.
It was a timely response from Klopp's men who had been held to back-to-back draws in the Premier League to allow City back into the hunt. Manchester City can, however, move back level on points with the Reds with a win over Chelsea.


So, yesterday was a pretty good day. I guzzled water until my eyeballs were floating, and I felt pretty good aaaaaalllll the way up until I crawled into bed last night.
I even managed to make it into bed before 10:30pm. I could tell that my musles were a little bit sore, and so I did some stretching to try and work them out a little, but then my head hit the pillow and I was GONE.
I woke up at……are you ready for this…..4am – yup, Siah slept from 7:15pm until 4am, and at that point if he didn't nurse, then there was no hope that he'd sleep for Jon after I left. So, I went and got him and brought him back to bed with me.
I just kinda dozed between 4 and 4:45am, and then I popped outta bed before my alarm clock went off and got ready to go.
I drank two HUGE glasses of water, and ate a banana to try and ward off the whole barfing thing…and ya know what….IT WORKED!
I made it through my second session – all the way through – and although I was tired and my body is not used to being asked to work a little bit harder – it went well.
I can feel that my muscles are feeling sore right now. I'm a little nervous about how I'll feel tonight, and especially about how I'll feel tomorrow.
I'm still planning on going tomorrow, even if I can't do as well as I did today. I'm pretty excited about just getting some exercise, let alone 90 minutes two days in a row….
As I was driving home today musing about just jumping in feet first, I started thinking about exercise and what it was that I liked about the Bikram's Yoga compared to other forms of exercise. I think that the dry breathing, panting so you can't catch your breath, and feeling like your heart is going to explode out of your chest…..yah, that's the feeling I dislike…and seeing as I'm terribly outta shape, if I try to do other forms or exercise that's what I end up feeling like.
I like the idea that this class is for beginners and for those with experience and that you are always only competing with yourself.
Right now, I'm in the learning stages, and am flailing around trying to find position, and am not so fluid, and well….I'm definately just learning, but I talked with the instructor today after class, and she said that about 5-6 classes into it, I should have more of an idea as to what's going on, and of the poses, and that about 10 classes into it, that I should start to find my rhythm and a nice sense of flow. I'm looking forward to that 'cause right now I'm feeling a little bit stiff and sore – but in a good kind of way.
In other news, We have been eating some unbelievably amazing food for the last little bit. I recently bought a couple of new books and from them, have made a Thick Potato, Cauliflower, and Dulse Soup….sorry no pictures, but it was AMAZING, and even Geli, my MOST picky eater, LOVED it and has asked for it every day since I made it.
Dulse is a dark red sea veggie that is full of highly absorbably iron, and in the soup it justs adds the right amount of flavor.
Last night we had Nori-Wrapped Wasabi Salmon which is salmon wrapped in a sheet of seaweed, and again. So, SO good! I didn't make that for the kids, they just got plain marinated salmon, but Jon and I LOVED the seaweed wrapped salmon and will definately be making it again..
on Tuesday night we had Nut Burgers, and again with the deliciousness. They would have been DIVINE on a bun, but we just ate them plain. The recipe I used calls for sunflower seeds and walnuts. I had walnuts, but I had no sunflower seeds, so I made two batches – one with pine nuts – in place of the sunflower seeds, and the other with pumpkin seeds. You grind up the nuts in a food precessor and then mix in a bunch of spices, add a finely ground carrot and them some brown rice with a tiny bit of tomatoe sauce to hold it all together. Make your patties, and then let them sit for an hour or so in the fridge. Heat up your skillet and use either butter or oil and brown the tops and bottoms, and serve.
These are seriously yummy, and with the edges all crunchy….mmmm…we saved a few overnight that we didn't cook, and had them for lunch the next day, and they were just as good even after sitting in the fridge for a while.
Between the nuts and the brown rice, you end up with a complete protein, and so all you need to round out the meal is a salad or some veggies.
I'm still going through my books, and am sure to come up with more yummy food for us to try.
well, that about does it for today….Geli and I are going to make some chocolate coconut macaroons.
Just wanted to comment about the start of yoga classes…prayfully consider what you are opening up yourself to. It isn't a simple exercise class, as the enemy would like you to think. There are many good articles on this on the internet or in Christian Women's Magazine. All I ask is seriously pray about this and see how your spirit reacts to this. I'm concerned with the number of Christians that are involving themselves in this.
Previous Previous post: And then I BARFED…..Yes! I really did!

Ethiopia disowns Somalia-related "inaccurate reporting" by ETV World
The program's content does not represent the policy of the Ethiopian government and is inconsistent with the relations between the two nations."
News Keydmedia Online
ADDIS ABABA - Ethiopia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs says a content released by State media on Wednesday does not represent Ethiopian government policy towards Somalia.
The Ethiopian government is disowning Thabita John's, "ETV World" Show host, a narrative about Somalia and Ethiopia's relationship.
In a program that was aired on September 6, 2022, the host highlighted Somalia's struggle with an internal conflict situation. Somalia is described as a country that has been "experiencing the oldest civil war in Africa, still unstable and home to many armed actors."
The Host also made claims that "the conflict affecting Somalia is deep-rooted in its history and continues to shape the country and is affecting its neighbors like Ethiopia."
And then she went on to pose two questions: "Can the second-time president of Somalia Hassan Sheik Mahmoud change the course of Somalia's history? Can Sheik Mohamoud take Somalia out of decades of Conflict into a field of peace? "
A possibly more controversial part of the content is that she made claims that "there are uncertainties [in the relationship between Ethiopia and Somalia] that certain members of the president Hassan Sheik Mohamud government may derail efforts to improve relations between Somalia and Ethiopia. "
The explanation, in the view of the host, is that Hassan Sheikh Mohamud had a strong relationship with the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) when the latter was dominating power and politics in Ethiopia before Abiy took office in 2018.
"There are some clear indications from TPLF leaders to hijack Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's administration against the national interest of Ethiopia. Ethiopia believes such a futile attempt from the TPLF group can not be welcomed by Hassan Sheikh Mohamud government – partly or fully," she added.
She is of the view that if that happens, it could bring about disaster for Somalia.
The Ethiopian government is not explicit as to what part of the analysis consists of "inaccurate reporting "
In a brief press statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia said : "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has taken note of the inaccurate reporting in the "Etv WORLD" program about the Federal Republic of Somalia that was aired on Tuesday, September 6, 2022.

after publishing my last post when i looked at my blog i had a revelation about myself . i have grown to like colour!
OK let me start from the beginning.
i grew up associating whites/ecru/beiges/taupes/greys with affluence and elegance. the slightly better off amongst my extended family were more often than not seen carrying this neutral colour palette with elan. that's probably how i became so stubborn about my choice of colours.
over the years i heard my girl friends asking me to experiment with colour but i never gave in. i stuck to whites and greys..i knew i could never go wrong with them. maybe that is another reason why i stuck to those colours. with limited means i could not afford to go wrong with colourful buys. these were the safe colours! when i joined design school i heard the word BAUHAUS for the very first time. there was no choice, i was surrounded by iconic imagery of "Form Follows Function" even though i was introduced to Memphis in the same classes. i took up textile design in my graduation. i trained my eye to look at white on white details, Kora silks and natural fibers..colour for me was unknown territory. at this time i was secretly jealous of this popular batch mate of mine who lived/ate/slept/wore/talked colour.
then i joined my first job.
it is here that i gradually started working with colour but i was still scared and very unsure every time i opened the thread shade card. i was working in close quarters with a french designer here. he is a sweetheart and i learn a lot from him including so much about using different colours together. my first job for me was like post graduate school. i was still learning new skills.
in my second job, i am a designer.
i can now work with colour effectively (i'm still scared but shh its a secret). whats more..i can finally talk colour. i now look for colour when ever i am travelling/shopping. i still haven't let go of the neutral palette that i grew up with, but what has emerged is a happy balance of the two. i love the whites but now i throw in dashes of colour to "perk it up", "make it fun", "lets make it young and happy"..aah the language of colour!

180,000 Buzzing Paris Residents Are Safe And Secure After Notre Dame Fire
Published April 22, 2019 at 5:07 PM EDT
AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:
A week ago the world was watching as Notre Dame Cathedral burned.
While the spire fell and the wooden roof was destroyed, no one was killed. And that includes some 180,000 winged residents of Notre Dame.
QUENTIN GEANT: (Speaking French).
SHAPIRO: "The bees of Notre Dame survived the fire."
CORNISH: Says Quentin Geant - he's the executive manager of Beeopic California. His firm rents bees, including those on the roof of the Notre Dame's stone vestry. And his father, Nicolas, is the beekeeper there.
SHAPIRO: Because of a declining bee population, the city of Paris pushed to have more hives in the city.
GEANT: Notre Dame has been a really proud owner of this hive since 2013 because, also, the Catholic Church has been some of the biggest beekeepers all throughout history because of the candle they needed.
SHAPIRO: Not only the candles they needed, but there's also all that honey.
CORNISH: The Geants, father and son, were concerned when they watched TV coverage of Notre Dame burning.
GEANT: We knew our bees will be there, and we could not do anything.
SHAPIRO: That was last Monday. The next day, there was a sign of hope.
GEANT: My dad could see on the pictures from the satellite that the three hives were still standing.
SHAPIRO: A couple days later, church officials told the senior Geant that bees were alive and even sent out a video. Because of the continuing danger and the fire investigation, the beekeeper has not been able to get to see the hives in person.
CORNISH: That these bees survived a huge fire doesn't seem like such a miracle to Quentin Geant.
GEANT: They don't have the same kind of lungs than us. And we have been using smoke of beekeeping when we keep our bees since hundreds of years, so they're kind of used to it. That's the good news and the magic of it.
SHAPIRO: Magic, indeed. The bees are OK with smoke, but if the heat from the fire had gotten above 145 degrees Fahrenheit, the wax of the hive would have melted, and the bees would not have been able to survive.


Alright ladies and gents, its friday, so you know what that means ! Here's a new batch of movies that have arrived in theaters today.

Heron Preston and Zellerfeld Launch New Recyclable 3D Printed Sneaker
The future of footwear isn't more colorways of classics nor is it shoes that simply look like you're traveling from a different time. It's rethinking the tried-and-true process of developing and distributing a sneaker because what is standard now is simply not sustainable. Heron Preston is here to take on this reimagination with the HERON01, a fully 3D-printed sneaker made in collaboration with 3D technology company Zellerfeld.
The laceless, slip-on mule merges innovative technology, design, and style and aims to provide a customizable fit without the need of excess materials. The whole shoe is printed as one form with design features that resemble the scales of the heron bird's feet and does not contain any seams, stitching, or glue. Although the specific material is currently not confirmed, the shoe is meant to be fully recyclable allowing Zellerfeld to repurpose the model as new material after its use.
"The HERON01 is just the beginning – with additive manufacturing, the potential is unlimited. I was able to design and print functional and evolving prototypes in hours. With traditional manufacturing, this would have taken months. I can't wait to print more shoes and updates," said Preston.
The goal is to create a fully personalized shoe through foot scans that erase the need for any shipments in the design and sample process since only digital files will be transferred. In a sit-down conversation with Preston, Zellerfeld CEO Cornelius Schmitt emphasizes the ability to create a new pair and a new silhouette at the push of a button. Currently, Zellerfeld is only in beta so we're curious to see how the company will scale its approach.
The HERON01 design process mirrored the digital and information age we live in today. Zellerfeld produced an early version of a 3D-printed shoe, and after seeing the prototype, WhatsApp conversations with Preston turned into collaborative design explorations with initial concept direction and sketches provided by footwear designer Mr. Bailey. If you kept a close eye on Preston's social media, you would have seen bits of the process unfold in real time.
"This feels like the beginning of a more harmonious lifecycle for 3D – something that would allow creatives to independently realize their footwear concepts in a tangible and commercially viable form. [A way to] produce as many pairs as people order, each one being personalized to the individuals unique foot shape, and once the product starts to wear out, re-use that same material to print more," said Mr. Bailey in an Instagram post about the HERON01.
The HERON01 sneaker isn't the first time sustainability has been a guiding principle for Preston's projects. The designer, artist, and all-around creative thinker has always had a DIY approach that's synonymous with streetwear. Preston famously bootlegged the Givenchy Rottweiler T-shirt as a cheeky nod to downtown New York. Over the years, he's turned that energy to make more of a conscious effort in understanding how sustainable practices can be implemented throughout his brand and different collaborations. It's not just about remixing logos to make a statement or reusing clothes because of what's available, it's now creating with purpose for the future.
He teamed up with the New York City Department of Sanitation to create a capsule of workwear essentials created from upcycled DSNY uniforms in 2016. The partnership was a result from two separate experiences and thoughts: plastic waste brushing against him in pristine beaches while vacationing, and an interest in designing uniforms. That moment sparked a fire within Preston. He also spent time in the Eileen Fisher production facility Tiny Factory at the end of 2017 and worked directly with the designer to learn more about her eco-conscious approach to circular design, production, supply chain, and overall brand strategy.
"I don't think the streetwear industry is as focused on sustainability at the moment as some other sectors of the fashion industry," Preston told Glossy in 2018. "But I do feel that consumers are paying more attention to sustainability than ever before, and more and more designers and brands are being forced to innovate and become more sustainable because their fan base is starting to demand it."
The HERON01, which is available in black, white, and the brand's signature orange, is exclusively available via StockX through a $10 USD donation raffle. A portion of all process will be donated to Global March, a worldwide network of trade unions, teachers, and civil society organizations that work towards eliminating child labor in supply chains. Winners will also receive exclusive access to Zellerfeld's Beta Program.

2014 Best Translated Book Award Longlist
Today they announced the longlist for this year's Best Translated Book Award. This is my favorite book prize, and I'm excited to dig into this list.
Here they are, along with their cover images, their publisher blurb, and links to reviews (which I'll be adding to):
The African Shore
by Rodrigo Rey Rosa
translated from the Spanish by Jeffrey Gray
(Yale University Press)
In the vein of the writings of Paul Bowles, Paul Theroux, and V.S. Naipaul, The African Shore marks a major new installment in the genre of dystopic travel fiction. Rodrigo Rey Rosa, prominent in today's Guatemalan literary world and an author of growing international reputation, presents a tale of alienation, misrecognition, and intrigue set in and around Tangier. He weaves a double narrative involving a Colombian tourist pleasurably stranded in Morocco and a young shepherd who dreams of migrating to Spain and of "riches to come." At the center of their tale is an owl both treasured and coveted.
The author addresses the anxiety, distrust, and potential for violence that characterize the border of all borders: the straight that divides Africa and Europe, where the waters of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic meet. His often-remarked prose style, at once rich and spare, endows his work with remarkable elegance. Rey Rosa generates a powerful reality within his imagined world, and he maintains a narrative tension to the haunting conclusion, raising small and large questions that linger in the reader's mind long after the final page.

Autobiography of a Corpse
by Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky
translated from the Russian by Joanne Turnbull
(NYRB Classics)
The stakes are wildly high in Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky's fantastic and blackly comic philosophical fables, which abound in nested narratives and wild paradoxes. This new collection of eleven mind-bending and spellbinding tales includes some of Krzhizhanovsky's most dazzling conceits: a provincial journalist who moves to Moscow finds his existence consumed by the autobiography of his room's previous occupant; the fingers of a celebrated pianist's right hand run away to spend a night alone on the city streets; a man's lifelong quest to bite his own elbow inspires both a hugely popular circus act and a new refutation of Kant. Ordinary reality cracks open before our eyes in the pages of Autobiography of a Corpse, and the extraordinary spills out.
Review from Bookslut
by Mircea Cartarescu
translated from the Romanian by Sean Cotter
(Archipelago Books)
Part visceral dream-memoir, part fictive journey through a hallucinatory Bucharest, Mircea C?rt?rescu's Blinding was one of the most widely heralded literary sensations in contemporary Romania, and a bestseller from the day of its release. Riddled with hidden passageways, mesmerizing tapestries, and whispering butterflies, Blinding takes us on a mystical trip into the protagonist's childhood, his memories of hospitalization as a teenager, the prehistory of his family, a traveling circus, Secret police, zombie armies, American fighter pilots, the underground jazz scene of New Orleans, and the installation of the communist regime. This kaleidoscopic world is both eerily familiar and profoundly new. Readers of Blinding will emerge from this strange pilgrimage shaken, and entirely transformed.
Review from Tony's Reading List
City of Angels: or, The Overcoat of Dr. Freud
by Christa Wolf
translated from the German by Damion Searls
(Farrar, Straus and Giroux)
Three years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the writer Christa Wolf was granted access to her newly declassified Stasi files. Known for her defiance and outspokenness, Wolf was not especially surprised to discover forty-two volumes of documents produced by the East German secret police. But what was surprising was a thin green folder whose contents told an unfamiliar — and disturbing — story: in the early 1960s, Wolf herself had been an informant for the Communist government. And yet, thirty years on, she had absolutely no recollection of it.
Wolf's extraordinary autobiographical final novel is an account of what it was like to reckon with such a shocking discovery. Based on the year she spent in Los Angeles after these explosive revelations, City of Angels is at once a powerful examination of memory and a surprisingly funny and touching exploration of L.A., a city strikingly different from any Wolf had ever visited.
Even as she reflects on the burdens of twentieth-century history, Wolf describes the pleasures of driving a Geo Metro down Wilshire Boulevard and watching episodes of Star Trek late at night. Rich with philosophical insights, personal revelations, and vivid descriptions of a diverse city and its citizens, City of Angels is a profoundly humane and disarmingly honest novel — and a powerful conclusion to a remarkable career in letters.
by Marcelle Sauvageot
translated from the French by Christine Schwartz Hartley & Anna Moschovakis
(Ugly Duckling Press)
Commentary is a narrative — hovering between the genres of memoir, theory, and fiction — about a female artist whose abandonment by a lover precipitates a refiguration of her ideas on life, love and art. Sauvageot died, after many stints in sanatoriums, at the age of 34. Commentaire was highly prasied in its time by Paul Claudel, Paul Valéry, André Gide, Charles Du Bos, René Crevel ou Clara Malraux. This edition is co-translated by Christine Schwartz Hartley (African Psycho) and Anna Moschovakis (The Jokers, The Possession).
The Devil's Workshop
by Jáchym Topol
tr. from the Czech by Alex Zucker
(Portobello Books)
"The devil had his workshop in Belarus. That's where the deepest graves are. But no one knows about it."
A young man grows up in a town with a sinister history. The concentration camp may have been liberated years ago, but its walls still cast their long shadows and some of the inhabitants are quite determined to not to allow anyone to forget.When the camp is marked for demolition, one of the survivors begins a campaign to preserve it, quickly attracting donations from wealthy benefactors, a cult-like following of young travellers, and a steady stream of tourists buying souvenir t-shirts.But before long, the authorities impose a brutal crack-down, leaving only an "official" memorial and three young collaborators whose commitment to the act of remembering will drive them ever closer to the evils they hoped to escape.Bold, brilliant and blackly comic, The Devil's Workshop paints a deeply troubling portrait of a country dealing with its ghosts and asks: at what point do we consign the past to history?
by Marcos Giralt Torrente
translated from the Spanish by Katherine Silver
(McSweeney's)
In this quartet of mesmerizing stories, Marcos Giralt Torrente explores the confounding, double-edged promise of love. Each finds a man carefully churning over his past, trying to fathom how the distance between people can become suddenly unbridgeable.
Two tourists visit a remote island off the coast of Africa and are undone by a disconcerting encounter with another couple. A young man, enchanted by his bohemian cousin and her husband, watches them fall into a state of resentful dependence over the course of decades. A chaste but all-consuming love affair between a troubled boy and a wealthy but equally troubled girl leaves a scar that never heals. The son of divorced parents tries in vain to reunite them before realizing why he is wrong to do so. In The End of Love, Giralt Torrente forges discomfiting and gripping dramas from the small but consequential misunderstandings that shape our lives.
by Jan Jacob Slauerhoff
tr. from the Dutch by Paul Vincent
(Pushkin Press)
A classic of early modernism The Forbidden Kingdom (Het Verboden Rijk) is the masterwork of Jan Jacob Slauerhoff — a romantic tale of adventure, seafaring and colonialism, told through an experimental narrative.
An intoxicating mix of time travel and adventure, The Forbidden Kingdom revolves around the Portuguese imperial outpost of Macao in China. Two men journey to the colony: the exiled sixteenth-century poet Luis de Camoes, author of The Lusiads, and a twentieth-century ship's wireless operator. With their overlapping stories Slauerhoff draws his reader into a dazzling world of exoticism, betrayal and exile, where past and present merge and the possibility of death is never far away.
Her Not All Her
by Elfriede Jelinek
(Sylph Editions)
Here Not All Her is a play about, from, and to the great Swiss writer Robert Walser, by the great Austrian writer and Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek. It highlights what Jelinek calls "the fundamental fragmentation" of Walser's voice, revealing Walser as "one of those people who, when they said 'I," did not mean themselves." Presented here in a prize-winning translation by Damion Searls, it shows Jelinek to be an impassioned virtuoso reader of classic European writers. The cahier contains an essay by the Director of the Robert Walser Centre, Reto Sorg, and thirteen paintings by the British artist Thomas Newbolt.
Horses of God
by Mahi Binebine
translated from the French by Lulu Norman
(Tin House)
On May 16, 2003, fourteen suicide bombers launched a series of attacks throughout Casablanca. It was the deadliest attack in Morocco's history. The bombers came from the shantytowns of Sidi Moumen, a poor suburb on the edge of a dump whose impoverished residents rarely if ever set foot in the cosmopolitan city at their doorstep. Mahi Binebine's novel Horses of God follows four childhood friends growing up in Sidi Moumen as they make the life-changing decisions that will lead them to become Islamist martyrs.
The seeds of fundamentalist martyrdom are sown in the dirt-poor lives of Yachine, Nabil, Fuad, and Ali, all raised in Sidi Moumen. The boys' soccer team, The Stars of Sidi Moumen, is their main escape from the poverty, violence, and absence of hope that pervade their lives. When Yachine's older brother Hamid falls under the spell of fundamentalist leader Abu Zoubeir, the attraction of a religion that offers discipline, purpose, and guidance to young men who have none of these things becomes too seductive to ignore.
Narrated by Yachine from the afterlife, Horses of God portrays the sweet innocence of childhood and friendship as well as the challenges facing those with few opportunities for a better life. Binebine navigates the controversial situation with compassion, creating empathy for the boys, who believe they have no choice but to follow the path offered them.
In the Night of Time
by Antonio Muñoz Molina
translated from the Spanish by Edith Grossman
(Houghton Mifflin Harcourt)
October 1936. . Spanish architect Ignacio Abel arrives at Penn Station, the final stop on his journey from war-torn Madrid, where he has left behind his wife and children, abandoning them to uncertainty. Crossing the fragile borders of Europe, he reflects on months of fratricidal conflict in his embattled country, his own transformation from a bricklayer's son to a respected bourgeois husband and professional, and the all-consuming love affair with an American woman that forever alters his life.
The Infatuations
by Javier Marías
translated from the Spanish by Margaret Jull Costa
(Knopf)
From the award-winning Spanish writer Javier Marías comes an extraordinary new book that has been a literary sensation around the world: an immersive, provocative novel propelled by a seemingly random murder that we come to understand — or do we? — through one woman's ever-unfurling imagination and infatuations.
At the Madrid café where she stops for breakfast each day before work, María Dolz finds herself drawn to a couple who is also there every morning. Though she can hardly explain it, observing what she imagines to be their "unblemished" life lifts her out of the doldrums of her own existence. But what begins as mere observation turns into an increasingly complicated entanglement when the man is fatally stabbed in the street. María approaches the widow to offer her condolences, and at the couple's home she meets — and falls in love with — another man who sheds disturbing new light on the crime. As María recounts this story, we are given a murder mystery brilliantly reimagined as metaphysical enquiry, a novel that grapples with questions of love and death, guilt and obsession, chance and coincidence, how we are haunted by our losses, and above all, the slippery essence of the truth and how it is told.
Review from Winstonsdad's Blog
Review from Messengers Booker
Leg Over Leg: Volume One
by Ahmad Faris al-Shidyaq
translated from the Arabic by Humphrey Davies
(Library of Arabic Literature)
Leg over Leg recounts the life, from birth to middle age, of 'the Fariyaq,' alter ego of Ahmad Faris al-Shidyaq, a pivotal figure in the intellectual and literary history of the modern Arab world. The always edifying and often hilarious adventures of the Fariyaq, as he moves from his native Lebanon to Egypt, Malta, Tunis, England and France, provide the author with grist for wide-ranging discussions of the intellectual and social issues of his time, including the ignorance and corruption of the Lebanese religious and secular establishments, freedom of conscience, women's rights, sexual relationships between men and women, the manners and customs of Europeans and Middle Easterners, and the differences between contemporary European and Arabic literatures. Al-Shidyaq also celebrates the genius and beauty of the classical Arabic language.
Akin to Sterne and Rabelais in his satirical outlook and technical inventivement, al-Shidyaq produced in Leg Over Leg a work that is unique and unclassifiable. It was initially widely condemned for its attacks on authority, its religious skepticism, and its "obscenity," and later editions were often abridged. This is the first English translation of the work and reproduces the original Arabic text, published under the author's supervision in 1855.
The Missing Year of Juan Salvatierra
by Pedro Mairal
translated from the Spanish by Nick Caistor
(New Vessel Press)
At the age of nine, Juan Salvatierra became mute following a horse riding accident. At twenty, he began secretly painting a series of long rolls of canvas in which he minutely detailed six decades of life in his village on Argentina's river frontier with Uruguay. After the death of Salvatierra, his sons return to the village from Buenos Aires to deal with their inheritance: a shed packed with painted rolls of canvas stretching over two miles in length and depicting personal and communal history. Museum curators from Europe come calling to acquire this strange, gargantuan artwork. But an essential roll is missing. A search ensues that illuminates the links between art and life, as an intrigue of family secrets buried in the past cast their shadows on the present.
My Struggle: Book 2
by Karl Ove Knausgaard
translated from the Norwegian by Donald Bartlett
Book Two of the six-volume literary masterwork My Struggle flows with the same raw energy and candor that ignited the series' unprecedented bestselling run in Scandinavia, a virulent controversy, and an avalanche of literary awards. Knausgaard breaks down lived experience into its elementary particles, revealing the wounds and epiphanies of a truly examined life. Walking away from everything he knows in Bergen, Karl Ove finds himself in Stockholm, where he waits for the next stretch of the road to reveal itself. He strikes up a deep friendship with another exiled Norwegian, a boxing fanatic and intellectual named Geir. He reconnects with Linda, a vibrant poet who had captivated him at a writers' workshop years earlier, and the shape of his world changes. Book Two exposes the inner landscape of a man falling in love and the fraught joys and impossible predicaments he faces as a new father. We look on as he watches his life unfold. Love, rage, and beauty flood these pages. Knausgaard writes with exhilarating honesty and insight about the collection of moments that make up a life — the life of someone with an irrepressible need to write, of someone for whom art and the natural world are physical needs, of someone for whom death is always standing in the corner, of someone who craves solitude and love from the depths of his being.
Review from Follow the Thread
Review from Jacqui Wine
by Boris Vian
translated from the French by Paul Knobloch
(Tam Tam Books)
Boris Vian (1920-1959) was a magnificent jack-of-all-trades–actor, jazz critic, engineer, musician, playwright, songwriter, translator–not to mention the leading social light of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés scene. His third major novel, Red Grass is a provocative narrative about an engineer, Wolf, who invents a bizarre machine that allows him to revisit his past and erase inhibiting memories. A frothing admixture of Breton, Freud, Carroll, Hammett, Kafka and Wells, Red Grass is one of Vian's finest and most enduring works, a satire on psychoanalysis–which Vian wholly and vigorously disapproved of–that inflects science fiction with dark absurdity and the author's great wit. Much in the novel can be regarded as autobiography, as our hero attempts to liberate himself from past traumatic events in the arenas of religion, social life and — of course — sex. Red Grass is translated by Vian scholar Paul Knobloch.
Sandalwood Death
by Mo Yan
translated from the Chinese by Howard Goldblatt
(University of Oklahoma Press)
This powerful novel by Mo Yan-one of contemporary China's most famous and prolific writers-is both a stirring love story and an unsparing critique of political corruption during the final years of the Qing Dynasty, China's last imperial epoch. Sandalwood Death is set during the Boxer Rebellion (1898-1901) — an anti-imperialist struggle waged by North China's farmers and craftsmen in opposition to Western influence. Against a broad historical canvas, the novel centers on the interplay between its female protagonist, Sun Meiniang, and the three paternal figures in her life. One of these men is her biological father, Sun Bing, an opera virtuoso and a leader of the Boxer Rebellion. As the bitter events surrounding the revolt unfold, we watch Sun Bing march toward his cruel fate, the gruesome "sandalwood punishment" whose purpose, as in crucifixions, is to keep the condemned individual alive in mind-numbing pain as long as possible. Filled with the sensual imagery and lacerating expressions for which Mo Yan is so celebrated, Sandalwood Death brilliantly exhibits a range of artistic styles, from stylized arias and poetry to the antiquated idiom of late Imperial China to contemporary prose. Its starkly beautiful language is here masterfully rendered into English by renowned translator Howard Goldblatt.
Review from Asymptote
Seiobo There Below
by Laszlo Krasznahorkai
translated from the Hungarian by Ottilie Mulzet
(New Directions)
Seiobo — a Japanese goddess — has a peach tree in her garden that blossoms once every three thousand years: its fruit brings immortality. In Seiobo There Below, we see her returning again and again to mortal realms, searching for a glimpse of perfection. Beauty, in Krasznahorkai's new novel, reflects, however fleetingly, the sacred — even if we are mostly unable to bear it. Seiobo shows us an ancient Buddha being restored; Perugino managing his workshop; a Japanese Noh actor rehearsing; a fanatic of Baroque music lecturing a handful of old villagers; tourists intruding into the rituals of Japan's most sacred shrine; a heron hunting . . . . Over these scenes and more — structured by the Fibonacci sequence — Seiobo hovers, watching it all.
by Stig Dagerman
translated from the Swedish by Steven Hartman
(David R. Godine)
Stig Dagerman (1923-1954) is regarded as the most talented young writer of the Swedish post-war generation. By the 1940s, his fiction, plays, and journalism had catapulted him to the forefront of Swedish letters, with critics comparing him to William Faulkner, Franz Kafka, and Albert Camus. His suicide at the age of thirty-one was a national tragedy. This selection, containing a number of new translations of Dagerman's stories never before published in English, is unified by the theme of the loss of innocence. Often narrated from a child's perspective, the stories give voice to childhood's tender state of receptiveness and joy tinged with longing and loneliness.
The Story of a New Name
by Elena Ferrante
translated from the Italian by Ann Goldstein
(Europa Editions)
The second book, following last year's My Brilliant Friend, featuring the two friends Lila and Elena. The two protagonists are now in their twenties. Marriage appears to have imprisoned Lila. Meanwhile, Elena continues her journey of self-discovery. The two young women share a complex and evolving bond that brings them close at times, and drives them apart at others. Each vacillates between hurtful disregard and profound love for the other. With this complicated and meticulously portrayed friendship at the center of their emotional lives, the two girls mature into women, paying the cruel price that this passage exacts.
by Orly Castel-Bloom
translated from the Hebrew by Dalya Bilu
(The Feminist Press at CUNY)
A wealthy Israeli family is at a precipice in their lives in this nuanced, contemporary novel. As Amanda Gruber, the matriarch of the family, undergoes an invasive cosmetic procedure, Lirit, her rebellious daughter, takes over operations at the family's pajama factory. Her brother Dael serves in the Israeli army as a sniper, while Irad, their neglectful father, a genius scientist, travels to the United States to conduct research on flak jackets. Each family member is pulled in conflicting directions, forced to examine their contentious relationships to one another. With surprising humor, Textile details the gradual disintegration of a family strained by distance and the corrosive effects of consumerism and militarism.
Through the Night
by Stig Sæterbakken
translated from the Norwegian by Seán Kinsella
(Dalkey Archive)
Dentist Karl Meyer's worst nightmare comes true when his son, Ole-Jakob, takes his own life. This tragedy is the springboard for a complex novel posing essential questions about human experience: What does sorrow do to a person? How can one live with the pain of unbearable loss? How far can a man be driven by the grief and despair surrounding the death of his child? A dark and harrowing story, drawing on elements from dreams, fairy tales, and horror stories, the better to explore the mysterious depths of sorrow and love, Through the Night is Stig Sæterbakken at his best.
by Arnon Grunberg
translated from the Dutch by Sam Garrett
(Open Letter)
Jörgen Hofmeester once had it all: a beautiful wife, a nice house with a garden in an upperclass neighborhood in Amsterdam, a respectable job as an editor, two lovely daughters named Ibi and Tirza, and a large amount of money in a Swiss bank account. But during the preparations for Tirza's graduation party, we come to know what he has lost. His wife has left him; Ibi is starting a bed and breakfast in France, an idea which he opposed; the director of the publishing house has fired him; and his savings have vanished in the wake of 9/11.
But Hofmeester still has Tirza, until she introduces him to her new boyfriend, Choukri — who bears a disturbing resemblance to Mohammed Atta — and they announce their plan to spend several months in Africa. A heartrending and masterful story of a man seeking redemption, Tirza marks a high point in Grunberg's still-developing oeuvre.
A True Novel
by Minae Mizumura
translated from the Japanese by Juliet Winters Carpenter
(Other Press)
A True Novel begins in New York in the 1960s, where we meet Taro, a relentlessly ambitious Japanese immigrant trying to make his fortune. Flashbacks and multilayered stories reveal his life: an impoverished upbringing as an orphan, his eventual rise to wealth and success — despite racial and class prejudice — and an obsession with a girl from an affluent family that has haunted him all his life. A True Novel then widens into an examination of Japan's westernization and the emergence of a middle class.
The winner of Japan's prestigious Yomiuri Literature Prize, Mizumura has written a beautiful novel, with love at its core, that reveals, above all, the power of storytelling.
Review from BookSexyReview
The Whispering Muse
by Sjón
translated from the Icelandic by Victoria Cribb
(Farrar, Straus and Giroux).
Already celebrated far beyond his native Iceland, the novels of Sjón arrive on waves of praise from writers, critics, and readers worldwide. Sjón has won countless international awards and earned ringing comparisons to Borges, Calvino, and Iceland's other literary superstar, the Nobel Prize winner Halldór Laxness. The Whispering Muse is his masterpiece so far.
The year is 1949 and Valdimar Haraldsson, an eccentric Icelander with elevated ideas about the influence of fish consumption on Nordic civilization, has had the extraordinary good fortune to be invited to join a Danish merchant ship on its way to the Black Sea. Among the crew is the mythical hero Caeneus, disguised as the second mate. Every evening after dinner he entrances his fellow travelers with the tale of how he sailed with the fabled vessel the Argo on its quest to retrieve the Golden Fleece.
What unfolds is a slender but masterful, brilliant, and always entertaining novel that ranges deftly from the comic to the mythic as it weaves together tales of antiquity with the modern world in a voice so singular as to seem possessed.

18-20 There was a lot more of this—words that gave strength to the people, words that put heart in them. The Message! But Herod, the ruler, stung by John's rebuke in the matter of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, capped his long string of evil deeds with this outrage: He put John in jail.
-an immersion or sprinkling of water that signifies one's identification with a belief or cause.
In Christianity, it is the believer's identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Rom. 6:4-5).
It is done in the name and authority (Acts 4:7) of Christ with the baptismal formula of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:19).
This is what we are called to do whenever we witness a baptism… to remember our own.
What is one word that describes your baptism?
It does not save us (1 Pet. 3:21). However, it is our responsibility, as believers, to receive it.
Why are some baptized by sprinkling? Pouring? Immersion?
Showed his approval of John's baptism, and that it was approved by God.
Some theologians say that Jesus was also just following Jewish law… the legal requirements for entering priesthood….
Anointing with oil – represents the anointing of the HS.
Receive verbal blessing – God spoke this blessing.
Luke, unlike Matthew, Mark and John never mentions Jesus in the water, or that it was John who baptized him.
a baptism-shaped life where God's Spirit dwells within our very bodies.
Gracious God, remind us that baptism is a symbol that we are claimed by someone special and called to do something special.
Pour out your Holy Spirit now upon us, upon and within our bodies.
Help us to live in faithfulness to you long after the water has dried.
Even in the midst of holiday cheer —- hopelessness threatens.
Lying in bed at night—it's there.
Racing around hunting for gifts — it's there.
Driving past houses decorated with flashing lights and pounding music… it's there.
Those among us who struggle with depression or who are grieving.
The musical Show Boat takes place in the late 1800s on the Mississippi River. In the story an African American man named Joe has had a hard life eking out a living as a dockworker. He has had a life of incredible struggle.
At one point in the musical, Joe sings a song called "Old Man River." It's a song about the timelessness of the river—that it just keeps on rolling along no matter what happens.
Every day we pass someone who may be tired of living and sick of trying…Some of us have been on the brink of hopelessness – and can't see how we can make it to tomorrow.
BUT — Advent is all about hope. Hope isn't something we can manufacture. Hope doesn't appear because we pick ourselves up and forge ahead… or force ourselves to be more hopeful. Hope doesn't come with the power of positive thinking.
So, where does it come from? It comes from knowing God and trusting God's promises.
Promises like—I will never leave you — blessed are the poor — God blesses those who share–God blesses those who care for one another.
God promised that if we search for Him we will find Him.
God promised that all things will work out for good for His children.
God promised comfort in our trials.
Jesus promised abundant life to those who follow Him -We hold to God's promise that Jesus will come back, ushering in a new heaven and a new earth, where there will be no more tears or mourning or crying or pain.
What does it look like to hope in God's promises?
As a chaplain, I see different responses to God's promises…it is not unusual to have two families in crisis and needing a chaplain . This is when the chaplain has to move back and forth between the families …AND how differently two families face a loved one's imminent.
In one room, there was a dying child and a family utterly devoid of hope; a room was permeated by a sense of deep despair.
The difference between hopelessness and hope was only the length of the hallway—and between trusting in God's promises and having no God at all.
Today in Luke Chapter 1 we meet Zechariah. He is a faithful man, and his wife, Elizabeth, is a faithful woman. They have served God their whole lives. They have no children. Yet they kept coming back to the temple and worshiping even though their lives had been difficult. They persevered in serving God. They believed that God's promises were true.
Having given up on having children, they found it difficult to believe that God was going to give them a son… But Zechariah and Elizabeth are given a new promise, and with it, new hope. There will be a child. His name will be John. He will bring great joy and gladness. This is the beginning of the New Testament's record of Jesus. Zechariah and Elizabeth's son will be John the Baptist—the one who prepares the way for Jesus himself.
When there are Earthquakes and floods – there are stories of bravery and assistance. Through Jesus comes the Good News and the HOPE that this is not all there is. God of the universe loves us so much and God will always make things right again.
Advent is our time of waiting and preparation for Christ to return. It is our time of HOPE, so, as we look forward — let us hold fast to HOPE and God's promise that the best is yet to come. What an incredible gift to find under the tree.
Thanks be to the Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you; Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God.
Yes, I see it all now: I'm the Lord's maid, ready to serve. Let it be with me just as you say.
Here it is — Christmas is five days away. Wasn't it yesterday that we were in our shorts and washing the car?
Wrapped all the gifts yet?
The story goes – that God chose a simple – ordinary young woman – or should I say young girl – she was probably about 12 – It is a great age, and a difficult age.
When young bodies are changing fast and in so many ways, Remember being that age….some of us had growth spurts making for gawky limbs and fighting to get our balance sort of like standing in the ocean and waves come in and the undertow pulling us out.. before we adjusted to one change, another change came along.
Mary was between childhood and young adulthood.
Struggling to make the crossover from playing house with her friends and learning how to make a home….Life as she knew it changed in a blink of an eye when she experienced a God moment… Here was an ordinary child, from an ordinary family living in a less than ordinary city called Nazareth.
She was probably an obedient child – dreaming of becoming a wife and mother and make a home for her promised husband, Joseph, a poor carpenter.
What qualified her to be called for such a mission?
What made her the one above all of the others?
Wouldn't you imagine she asked the same questions? Why me? How can I ?
Noah, Moses, Aaron, David, Esther, Judith, Elijah, Isaiah….
He called the plain and simple — the unqualified… and then QUALIFIED THEM.
How does this encourage us?
THREE – God meets us where we are… and uses us as we are…..
And with her faith and trust in God, she became an instrument for God's kingdom.
But also because Mary shows us that everything is possible with God.
NO matter how ordinary – unqualified – inadequate – or inept we may think we are….
