Weekly Dispatches from the Frontlines of World Literature
January 13, 2017 | in Dispatches, News, Weekly Roundup | by Julia Sherwood, M. René Bradshaw, and Poupeh Missaghi
This week's literary updates from the Czech Republic, Iran, and England
This Friday, we present three very distinct reports from the world of literature. Slovakian Editor-at-Large Julia Sherwood looks back at what was a great year of Czech literature in translation and gives us a sneak peek at what to look forward to this year. Her Iranian colleague Poupeh Missaghi reports on language-related issues in a human rights Twitter campaign. And finally, the UK Editor-at-Large M. René Bradshaw tells us where to head for great readings in London this month and next.
Julia Sherwood, our Editor-at-Large for Slovakia, has good news from the publishing world:
Last year proved to be a big year for Czech literature in English translation, with no fewer than eighteen publications from eight different presses at the latest count. They include, to mention just a few, Worm-Eaten Time, poet Pavel Šrut's elegy for his homeland after the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia, translated by Deborah Garfinkle, and symbolist poet Jaroslav Durych's (1886-1962) 1956 novella God's Rainbow on the expulsion of the German-speaking population from Bohemia after World War II. First published in censored form in 1969, it is now available in full in David Short's translation as part of Karolínum Press's Modern Classics series, which also features Eva M. Kandler's translation of the World War II literary horror The Cremator by Ladislav Fuks, a study of the totalitarian mindset that still resonates today (extract in BODY Literature), and served as the basis for one of the key films of the Czech new wave, directed by Juraj Herz.
On 30 November, a packed audience at the launch of Antonín Bajaja's Burying the Season (also translated by David Short) at Waterstones Piccadilly in the heart of London included the playwright Tom Stoppard. Stoppard's father came from the town of Zlín, the setting for this novel depicting the early years of communism in Czechoslovakia. Czech literature scholar Rajendra Chitnis introduces the book as part of an Istros Conversations podcast on Audioboom, while Michael Tate of Jantar Publishing discusses on Czech radio the challenges of bringing Central European literature to English readers.
World Literature Today picked Czech writer Magdaléna Platzová's The Attempt as one of its Notable translations of 2016, characterizing it as "historical fiction at its best". In an interview with the Czech cultural bi-weekly A2, the novel's translator Alex Zucker points out that while more books by Czech authors are now being published than ever before, they don't necessarily reach many more readers since—like translated literature in general—quite a few are brought out by small independent presses and are therefore not visible in major bookshops and rarely reviewed.
In 2017, we can look forward to Zucker's translations of two the most acclaimed contemporary Czech writers: Jáchym Topol's Angel Station is due from Dalkey Archive in May, and Petra Hůlová's taboo-breaking Plastic Three Rooms will be brought out by Jantar Publishing. Budding UK translators keen to be part of this unprecedented boom in Czech literature in English can participate in the fourth annual international competition for young translators, who this year are asked to tackle an excerpt from Bianca Bellová's The Lake by 31 March (see their call for submissions). Budding Czech-to-English translators can also dip into the treasure trove of tricky issues, complete with solutions generously shared by Melvyn Clarke, in his blog post Translating Hrdý Budžes.
Acclaimed writer Zuzana Brabcová, who sadly passed away in 2015, was posthumously awarded the Josef Škvorecký prize for her haunting last novel Voliéry [Aviaries]. And as the year drew to a close, scores of students and literature lovers mourned the loss of the legendary Fišer bookstore in Kaprova Street near Prague's Old Town Square, which closed its doors after selling books since the 1930s.

PEW: US Latinos Account for More Than Half of Country's Population Growth From 2010-2019
By: Latino Rebels

A new post published last Friday by Pew Research provides the latest insights into the growth of the Latinos in the United States, citing that U.S. Latinos accounted for 52% of U.S. population growth from 2010 to 2019.
According to Pew, the U.S. saw a population increase of 18.9 million people. Those who identified as Latino were 9,829,000 people of that total number. Asian Americans accounted for 22% of U.S. population, with Black Americans representing at 17% growth. White Americans saw no growth, with a population decrease of 79,000.
These latest population numbers analyzed by Pew were based by the latest U.S. Census Bureau population estimates. These estimates are considered the official numbers until the 2020 Census is completed.
"In 2019, the number of Hispanics reached a record 60.6 million, making up 18% of the U.S. population. This is up from 50.7 million in 2010, when Hispanics were 16% of the population," Pew noted. "The number of Hispanics is growing more slowly than it previously did, due to a decline in the annual number of births to Hispanic women and a drop in immigration, particularly from Mexico. From 2015 to 2019, the Hispanic population grew by an average of 1.9% per year, down significantly from a peak of 4.8% from 1995 to 2000."
The median age of U.S. Latinos, according to Pew, is 30 years old.
Pew also shared where the Latino population grew across states. Illinois, Connecticut, West Virginia and Vermont all saw overall population decreases, but still saw increases in the Latino population. Six states (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Mississippi) all experienced overall population growth. with the rates of their respective Latino populations all outpacing overall population growth rates. Finally, Pew noted that 21 states saw their Latino population growth account for more than half each state's overall population growth.
Not surprisingly, Pew's analysis confirm that the three states with the biggest increases in the Latino population were Texas, California and Florida. California (15.6 million) and Texas (11.5 million) alone account for 45% of the nation's Latino population, Pew noted.
As for states with the fastest rate of growth with Latinos from 2010-2019, that honor goes to North Dakota (129% increase) and South Dakota (up 66% to 37,400). Two other states that have seen the fastest increase include Montana (up 50% to 43,300) and New Hampshire (up 48% to 54,600). The District of Columbia saw a 42% increase for a total Latino population of 79,500.
You can access the Pew post here, which includes a detailed state-by-state breakdown. The current data does not take into consideration demographic changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a topic that is just beginning to gain more and more attention, since Latinos have been identified as the group most disproportionately impacted.

Johan Santana, Papa Grande among job seekers this spring
Latin Link
by Steve Randel
1k share, 57 points
Johan Santana is looking to rekindle his career in Toronto. (John Lott/National Post)
Now that friendly Grapefruit and Cactus League games are set to commence, spring fever is once again in the air. And as usual, baseball is in a state of blissful optimism. It doesn't really matter if you have ties to the World Champion San Francisco Giants or the rebuilding Philadelphia Phillies. Every team starts with a clean slate, with both players and fans caught up in a world of fantasy.
It's quite a different scenario, however, for big league veterans who hope to keep living the dream. It's crunch time for minor league free agents who have been invited to compete for a job. The goal is to secure a spot on the 25-man squad, since a team's extended roster is generally reserved for it's carefully groomed prospects. The odds are long and it quickly becomes a numbers game. To coin one of Yogi's favorite phrases, it gets late early.
Still, stuff happens during spring training, especially injuries. And if players don't perform up to expectations, depth charts can shrink. That's why a free agent candidate is always a good insurance policy. To elaborate on that thought, I've jotted down an alphabetical list of 15 experienced Latino players in various camps who could be serviceable additions to their respective teams.
J.P. Arencibia, Baltimore Orioles
Even though the O's welcome back Matt Wieters with open arms, none of the club's reserve catchers offer the experience that this Cuban-American can provide. But the ball is in Arencibia's court after a dreadful year in Texas. Clearly, it's now or never for the once highly regarded Blue Jays prospect.
Alexi Casilla, Tampa Bay Rays
Yes, this is the "other" Alexi and not Hawk Harrelson's favorite White Sox player. The slick middle infielder suffered for many seasons in Minnesota, and may now do the same with the low-budget Rays. What he can offer is defensive stability and a nice backup option for Asdrubal Cabrera. I think he makes the team.
Ronny Cedeno, San Francisco Giants
The 32 year old veteran hasn't been a starting infielder since his stint with the Pirates in 2011. During a decade in the big leagues, Cedeno has played for seven different teams and has never brought much to the table at the plate or on the field. What the Venezuelan offers is stability, and manager Bruce Bochy yearns for a bench guy with experience.
Bruce Chen, Cleveland Indians
There always seems to be opportunities out there for cagey southpaw pitchers, and Chen definitely fits in that category. The 37-year-old Panama City native has recovered from a bulging disk in his back, and he is known as a positive guy on the field and in the clubhouse. Tribe skipper Terry Francona loves those types of guys, so Chen will likely land a gig as a long reliever.
Jonathan Herrera, Chicago Cubs
A longtime Colorado Rockie and boyhood pal of Carlos Gonzalez back in Maracaibo, the 30-year-old Herrera saw action in only 42 games last season as a Red Sox reserve. A switch-hitter who plays six different positions, Herrera will find a lot more work on the north side of Chicago, where manager Joe Maddon will plug him in like a poor man's Ben Zobrist.
Franklin Morales, Kansas City Royals
The American League champions feel like they need to strengthen their pen, although I'm not sure why. Morales is a hard-throwing lefty who will be intriguing in camp. And if he makes the team, the Rockies/Red Sox castoff will love pitching at Kauffman Stadium.
Ramiro Pena, San Diego Padres
The Padres may have greatly improved their offense, but the middle infield remains unsettled after the release of Everth Cabrera. The versatile, soft-handed Pena could put a band-aid on some of those issues. And the 29-year-old Mexican is a switch-hitter who can give manager Buddy Black some lineup flexibility.
Wandy Rodriguez, Atlanta Braves
It was interesting when the Braves inked Rodriguez, 36, to a minor league deal only days after he flunked his physical with the Phillies. But Atlanta scouts liked what they saw in the veteran lefty during select outings in the Dominican Winter League. The tilt and command on Wandy's breaking ball is back, but the veteran's health will be the telling factor.
Johan Santana, Toronto Blue Jays
After two shoulder surgeries and a serious Achilles tendon tear, can the former Cy Young Award winner successfully make another comeback? The Venezuelan southpaw, soon to be 36, thinks he can despite throwing only 125 innings over the last four years. I'm pulling for Santana, but this is a guy who is a shell of his former self and certainly doesn't need the money. Maybe the time has come to spend more time with his wife and kids.
Jhonatan Solano, Miami Marlins
The victim of a catching log jam with the Washington Nationals, Solano is pleased to have new life with the improved Fish and join his younger brother, Donovan. The Colombian siblings would make history back home if Jhonatan breaks camp with the varsity, but he'll have to step it up after some disappointing stats last season.
Geovany Soto, Chicago White Sox
The 32-year-old Puerto Rican will slug it out with Canadian George Kottaras as a backup receiver for Tyler Flowers, who calls a good game. But Flowers strikes out a ton and the catching situation for the White Sox remains fluid, with two other guys on the 40-man roster. All considered, I guess Soto has as good a chance of making the club as anybody else. His experience is a plus.
Carlos Villanueva, St. Louis Cardinals
Although his $10 million deal with the Cubs was a bust, Villanueva could be of some value to the Cardinals as a long guy out of the pen. The 31-year-old Dominican will make $2 million if he makes the roster, and his five-pitch repertoire and rotation experience makes that a sound investment in my book.
Jose Valverde, San Diego Padres
Papa Grande still has the itch to pitch and entertain the crowd. The charisma is still there even though the sizzle on that heater has said to be extinguished. But Padre pitching guru Darren Balsley likes Valverde's stuff thus far, and the Uncle Splity still bites. It would be fun to watch the burly Dominican go through his antics again on the mound, and he says the arm is well rested.
Dayan Viciedo, Toronto Blue Jays
Can the former White Sox left fielder, only 25, already be on the downside of his career? The Cuban certainly has plenty of pop in the bat, providing contact is made with the pelota. But a stiff glove has always been problematic, and jobs as a DH are limited. The Jays hope that Viciedo can be more versatile as a corner infielder, but even if he makes the team there will be money issues to consider.
For the Latino athlete who rose from humble beginnings to get a savory taste of The Show, knowing the end is near can be difficult to swallow. The minimum pay scale in the major leagues is now at $500,000, and that's celebrity money back home. But with baseball's popularity spanning across the globe, there are other avenues to explore once an MLB career comes to an end. A case in point is my amigo Jorge Cantu, 32, who last laid an egg with the Padres and Rangers. Interestingly enough, the Mexican utility infielder made $300,000 playing for the Doosan Bears in Korea last year.
That might be a slight pay cut, but Jorge isn't complaining.
Cuban Notes
The reality of a 100 percent luxury tax scared away most teams that got involved in the Yoan Moncada derby, and other organizations were simply not prepared to spend so extravagantly on a rookie. Still, the Red Sox took the plunge and gave the teenager $31.5 million in exchange for his autograph. To put that into prospective, Yasiel Puig and Jose Abreu received a signing bonus of $12 and $10 million respectively, although both have long-term packages. The same is true for Moncada's teammate, Rusney Castillo. So it remains to be seen how youngsters like Moncada and the Arizona Diamondback's Yasmany Tomas, who banked a bonus of $14 million, will be compensated in the future. My guess is they will be paid in more modest sums while under team control, and then inked to back-loaded pacts. Otherwise, this whirlwind of spending for international players has to be seriously examined by the new commissioner.
Speaking of expensive Cuban free agents, the Dodgers plucked a plum in Puig, regardless of the money because he's legit. But for the previous front office, the Alex Guerrero Saga has been nothing but sour lemonade. A Scott Boras client, Guerrero pocketed a $10 million bonus and made another $4 million while largely struggling in the minor leagues last season. He even lost part of his ear during a melee with a teammate in a Salt Lake City dugout. This season, the 28-year-old utility player will make another $4 million and can't be demoted from the Dodgers varsity without his consent. If that happens, the contract will be breached and Guerrero must be paid $14 million to walk.
Now that's a sweet deal!

Kiefer Sutherland, the hard-partying son of two prominent actors, was already well established in movies when he moved on to the TV role that won him his greatest celebrity—as dashing counter-terrorism expert Jack Bauer in the hit series "24."
With his wide-set blue eyes and angular face, Sutherland wowed audiences in the unconventional drama, which creates a semblance of real time by presenting each episode as one hour in Bauer's action-filled life. The show, which first aired in 2001, has become the second-longest running espionage series in television history and is expected to overtake "The Avengers."
Sutherland had appeared in all 168 episodes as of the end of 2009 and earned numerous award nominations, winning a Golden Globe in 2002 and an Emmy Award in 2006.
Born in London in 1966, though a citizen of Canada, Sutherland is the son of Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas, who lived briefly in Corona before divorcing while Kiefer was a child. The younger Sutherland rivaled his father's far-ranging career by appearing in more than 70 films, including "A Few Good Men" with Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson.
Sutherland became engaged to Julia Roberts, his co-star in "Flatliners," but made tabloid headlines in 1991 when they broke up three days before the wedding, after Roberts discovered that he had been meeting with a stripper. The tempestuous Sutherland was sentenced to 48 days in jail for drunk driving in 2007, and he was arrested by New York police in 2009 for head-butting fashion designer Jack McCollough during a barroom argument.
I would like to see Kiefer Sutherland in movies soon.

Robert C. Atkins, a cardiologist, created the Atkins diet in the year 1972. He argued that dietary fat is not what makes people overweight, carbohydrates are. By reducing carbs, most people who have tried the Atkins diet dropped considerable amounts of weight while still enjoying the foods they love.
The Atkins diet is a low-carbohydrate, high fat, and high-protein diet. It promotes itself as a long term low carb meal plan for weight loss and maintenance. Generally, this diet emphasizes fat, protein, and low-starch vegetable consumption. Simple carbohydrates like sugar and flour are highly restricted or totally eliminated altogether.
The Atkins diet eating program is divided into four phases, combined with mineral and vitamin supplements, and regular exercise.
According to Dr Atkins, there are crucial unrecognized factors present in our eating habits which cause us to gain weight fast. The main factor that makes us fat is our intake of refined carbs, especially flour, sugar, and high-fructose corn syrup.
When you're on the Atkins diet, your body's metabolism switches to burning its stored body fat as fuel from burning glucose as fuel – this cycle is called ketosis. When the glucose levels of our body are low, our insulin levels are also low. Ketosis takes place when our body has low insulin levels. This means when the glucose levels of our bodies are low, our bodies are capable of switching to use our own stored body fat as an energy source instead of glucose.
According to the "New Diet Revolution" of Dr Atkins, a diet that is low in carbohydrates triggers an advantage to our metabolism – the body burns more calories compared to what it can do on other diets. Our body also gets rid of the unused calories during this metabolic advantage.
Dr Atkins talked about Net carbs a lot. Net carbs refer to the total carbs minus sugar alcohols and fibre. Sugar alcohols have a very light effect on the sugar levels in our blood. According to Dr Atkins, the best carbs are those with a lower glycemic load. He also said that the saturated fat intake of a person should be kept to a maximum amount of twenty percent of all his consumed calories.
Dr Atkins said that for patients with metabolic syndrome or Diabetes Type 2, the Atkins diet lowers and even eliminates the need for medications.
The first stage lasts for 2 weeks to make sure that you're properly in ketosis and your body has already switched to its alternative energy source. This is where the most intense restriction of carbohydrates takes place since you should have no more than 15 to 20g carbohydrate intake per day. This level allows you to consume a daily amount of 120g of vegetable salad as well as 130g of cooked low carbohydrate vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, courgettes, etc., plus a cup of weak coffee or tea with unsweetened soya milk if you wish.
The rest of your diet menu is made up of fish, meat, shellfish or fats and poultry (which are totally unrestricted as they are free from carbohydrate) and hard cheeses and eggs (which do contain little amount of carbohydrate, that's why you need to consume these in moderation during the Atkins diet induction phase).
During this stage, you eat until you are satisfied and should never be hungry. It's also important that you have larger water intake during this stage. There's no rule on when you should eat, except that you must avoid skipping meals, especially breakfast. This stage kick-starts your weight loss.
In this stage, you gradually increase the daily allowance of your carbohydrate intake, in 5-gram increments, week by week. This WILL slow down your weight loss, but it will help you KEEP OFF the weight.
Another good thing about this phase is that you are eating a wider variety and quantity of low carb vegetables, salads, dairy products such as nuts, low carb yoghurt and berry fruits while allowing you to lose weight.
The majority of fruits, as well as certain vegetables like carrots, peas, parsnips, and onions, can be high in carbohydrate and you will need to avoid these varieties for the early weeks of this stage. Foods with high carbohydrate such as cakes, bread, pasta, rice, cereals, potatoes, pulses, jam, fruit juices, sugar, honey, etc. are strictly prohibited until the pre-maintenance stage.
Foods with sugar or flour as a minor ingredient such as frankfurters, salami, high meat content sausages/beef burgers, etc., may be used during the balancing and pre-maintenance stage as long as they're included in the daily count of your carbohydrate intake and don't throw your body out of ketosis.
At this stage, most dieters find it helpful to try low carb ingredients which can be unfamiliar but will allow them to increase their food variety. Examples of low carb ingredients are flaxseeds or linseeds, whey protein powders (isolates) or soya, sesame seeds, nut flours like ground almonds (almond flour) as well as artificial granular sweeteners.
Depending on your tolerance, these ingredients will let you have your own low-carbohydrate versions of foods like pastry, bread, biscuits, ice cream, sauces, and cakes, which many low carb dieters say they miss the most.
The balancing or ongoing weight loss phase may last for many months especially if you want to lose a lot of weight.
In this stage, you need to keep increasing your carbohydrate intake gradually until you find the right carbohydrate level at which your weight loss stops. From this, you will determine what certain carbohydrate level your body will be able to tolerate in the future. The pre-maintenance stage is designed to avoid sudden changes in your eating habits and a return to your usual way of eating before the Atkins diet which caused you to gain weight in the first place.
In this stage, most of your carbohydrate intake will come from nuts, nutrient-dense vegetables, and fresh fruits (if you can tolerate them). Many individuals find they cannot tolerate fresh fruits rather than berries served occasionally. However, contrary to popular belief, there's plenty of evidence that vegetables are way better than fruits at supplying fibre and essential vitamins and minerals needed in your diet.
You have reached the final stage of the Atkins diet. The maintenance phase, which is when you have reached your weight loss goal and found the highest carbohydrate level at which you maintain your weight.
This is the level that you will live with. As long as you eat within the guidelines you have learned you should not gain any weight. If you break your maintenance routine, all you must do is return to the Atkins diet induction phase for a few days in order to start the ketosis again.
Dieters who are in maintenance stage bring back the good carbohydrates into their diet as their individual carbohydrate tolerance allows. Good carbs are fruits and vegetables, whole grains and pulses. Refined carbohydrates like sugar and white flour, and their frequent companion hydrogenated oils and fats should not be a part of your regular diet. While you bring more variety of foods back in your diet, the percentage of fat and protein in your diet will decrease naturally from the levels seen in induction as well as ongoing weight loss stage.
Have you ever heard people say? Yeah, I lost a tonne of weight on the Atkins diet, but I gained it all back, plus more? It's because they didn't stay on their maintenance phase long enough to reset their weight "set point".
It is very important that you stay at your maintenance levels at least for as long as possible. There is a theory that scientist has that your body has a "set point". It has a weight that its used to and comfortable at. If you have been overweight for a long time, your body has grown used to that weight. And when you lose weight. Your body wants to fight to get back to the original weight.
Your bodies urge to get back to the original weight leads to yo-yo dieting. You lose the weight and then you gain it back even faster than you took it off. You need to stay on your maintenance diet until you have set a new "set point". A scientist at the University of Copenhagen, lead by head researcher Signe Sorensen Torekov PhD, found that if you can maintain your weight loss for one year, your body will feel that that the new, slimmer you is the set point.
While some people choose to skip the first stage altogether and include a lot of fruits and vegetables from the start, others prefer to just stick on the induction stage indefinitely without jumping on to the next phases. This is called "keto", which is a very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet.
Atkins promotes the use of their line of processed foods consisting shakes and bars. Their food line is called Atkins Advantage. Their products are available from their website or in supermarkets worldwide. You can consume their products together with a reliable Atkins meal plan like the ones listed below.
My personal favourites are the Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars. They are YUMMY and filling! And best of all, it's only 3 net carbs! They make a nice treat when you are craving something sweet.
This is a sample meal plan for one day on the Atkins diet. It's suitable for the first stage which is the Induction phase, but you should add more high carbohydrate vegetables and fruits when moving on to the next phases of the Atkins diet.
Preheat oven to 350F. In a shallow plate, place bake mix, pepper and salt. Coat chicken in bake mix and tap to remove excess. Heat the oil over medium heat using a large skillet. Cook chicken until it turns lightly brown, turning once in 4 minutes. Set aside in a baking dish.
Sauté the onion in the pan until softened. Add mushrooms and sauté until a lightly golden colour is achieved (takes about 3 more minutes). Next, add garlic and sauté until its aroma is released. Stir in artichokes, wine, red pepper flakes, and rosemary and bring to a simmer. The artichoke mixture should be poured over the chicken. Cover and bake for 40 minutes or until chicken is tender and fully cooked through. Season with pepper and salt to taste. Stir in oregano before serving.
The Atkins diet is the oldest and perhaps even most popular of the low carb diets. It's been around for a long time for one reason…..IT WORKS.

Rev. William Barry (1803-1884)
An inked inscription verso identifies the sitter as 'Revd. William Barry' of 'Blisworth Rectory'.
The Rev. William Barry, MA Trinity College, Cambridge, was instituted into the living of Blisworth in 1839. He evidently disapproved of the old Rectory for in 1841 he built a fine new Rectory, in Elizabethan style, with stables and a substantial coach house, all demolished in 1864 in order to widen the High Street. During the Rev. Barry's 45 years as Rector he oversaw many alterations and made many gifts to the church.
Reverend Barry appears on the 1861 census, living at Blisworth Rectory in Northamptonshire with his wife, Frances; a son, George, aged 15; and a son, Henry, aged 13. At the time of the census, he was 58 years old, so he was born in or about 1803. He gave Whitby in Yorkshire as his place of birth. His wife, Frances, who was born in the East Indies, had five live-in servants to help her run the house, including a lady's maid, a cook and a coachman.
Reverend William Barry died in 1884 at the age of 81. The death was registered in the district of Towcester [Northamptonshire], so presumably he died in his parish, Blisworth.
Photographed by Camille Silvy on 27 June 1862.

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed in the carpal canal, producing numbness, pain, and weakness in the fingers and hand. Nerve conduction testing can determine the presence and severity of carpal tunnel syndrome and help distinguish it from other conditions. Various nonsurgical or surgical treatments may be appropriate for treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. If untreated, carpal tunnel syndrome tends to be progressive and may lead to more permanent nerve damage.
Depending on the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome, different treatments may be appropriate. Bracing, activity modification, injections, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications may be indicated to reduce symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. If nerve damage is present based on EMG testing, surgical treatment may be indicated. Surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome involves cutting the transverse carpal ligament to widen the carpal canal and take pressure off the median nerve. Carpal tunnel release can be performed with either an open or endoscopic technique.
Open carpal tunnel release involves cutting all the tissue layers of the palm including the epidermis, dermis, fat, palmar fascia and palmaris brevis to expose and then cut the transverse carpal ligament.
Endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery is designed to cut only the transverse carpal ligament and leave intact the top 4 layers of palmar tissue. In selected patients, endoscopic carpal tunnel release may produce much less local tissue trauma, pain, swelling and facilitate faster return to more normal activities. Endoscopic carpal tunnel release can often be performed with a single stitch and a 1 cm incision.

Taxotere® Alopecia hair loss lawsuits can provide compensation. If you have questions, feel free to talk to Woods & Woods. We never charge for legal consultations. Call us and understand your legal rights.
Taxotere, also known as docetaxel, is a chemotherapy drug that is used to fight breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, advanced stomach cancer, head and neck cancer and metastatic prostate cancer. Taxotere is an intravenous drug that is given to a patient during chemotherapy treatment. Taxotere works by preventing cancer cells from dividing and growing.
Alopecia is a medical condition that causes hair loss. Alopecia occurs when your immune system attacks hair follicles. Damage to the hair follicle is not always permanent. Oddly enough, Alopecia is mostly common in people younger than twenty. However, many adults also experience symptoms of Alopecia.
The first signs of Alopecia are often clumps of hair falling out. When these clumps of hair fall out, it can leave round hairless patches on the scalp. Sometimes people with Alopecia find the hair grows back fine and white, instead of the normal color and texture.
What are the Taxotere lawsuits alleging?
Some claimants are alleging that the manufacturer of Taxotere failed to warn consumers of the increased risk of permanent Alopecia. There are other drugs similar to Taxotere that do not cause hair loss and patients may have been more likely to choose the other medicine, which does not cause permanent hair loss.
Are there other side effects from Taxotere?
Can I afford a Taxotere lawyer?
Yes! Woods & Woods drug injury lawyers never charge a penny unless we win your Taxotere lawsuit. If you lose your Taxotere Alopecia (hair loss) lawsuit you don't owe us anything. Woods & Woods is forward and honest about pricing, we promise you won't find hidden charges when your claim is over. We never bill by the hour or charge for phone calls. Woods & Woods Taxotere injury lawyers do not ask for money upfront.
Why call Woods & Woods drug injury lawyers?
Since 1985, Woods & Woods has successfully represented thousands of injured people and their families. Our professional legal staff fights for those injured by defective medicines. We offer free legal consultations to anyone who has questions. We will happily answer any questions you have about filing a Taxotere hair loss lawsuit for free.
Never stop taking any medication without first consulting your doctor. Taxotere® is a registered trademark of Sanofi-Aventis and is used here only for the purpose of identifying the product in question. This law firm is not associated with, sponsored by, or affiliated with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, National Cancer Institute, or Sanofi-Aventis. Cases may be referred to other attorneys.

SPOTLIGHT: Occam posts loss, CFO leaving
Broadband access vendor Occam Networks reported a net loss of $4.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, and a loss of $10.4 million for the year, while still increasing revenue about 10% for the full year. The company also said its chief financial officer is leaving the company in May, but did not further elaborate.
The report marks the end of a challenging year for Occam, in which the vendor had to restate earlier financial reports after accounting problems and some investors called for management changes as a result.
- see the press release at Fox Business.com
- Occam won a major supply deal from FairPoint Communications last month


I am a mommy to a beautiful little girl Kaylynn and I work a full time job as well. I'm married to the love of my life and I'm looking to build my own business as well as the confidence of myself and others... Join me on this journey! I can guarantee it will be exciting!


The plan for tonight was to arrive in Paso Robles for dinner before settling in for the night.
But here we sit in a parking garage just 30 miles away in San Luis Obispo at 7 p.m. and five miles of charge, making that hope impossible.
We left Santa Maria after charging for two hours to break up the monotony. We drove part of the way on back roads to save charge. The ride was spectacular. There are three charging stations in the Marsh Street Parking garage. And yes, there are plenty of places to eat here. But I am tired and whiney from being on the road for 12 hours and it sure would be nice to be there already.
It is incredibly frustrating to be 28 minutes from a place with no way to get there for at least 2 1/2 hours. We have some major uphill facing us in this last stretch of the night during this, our return trip to Silicon Valley from Malibu. Therefore we cannot skimp on charging. Such is EV living.
My husband just returned from finding a restroom and informs me that the Barnes & Noble around the corner has plenty of plugs to charge my phone.

Welcome to the Goddess Fish Promotions Tenth Anniversary Month-Long Celebration!
Who is Goddess Fish Promotions? And what do we do? We're glad you asked!
Judy Thomas: Judy has a college degree in English and she's worked in retail, education, at her local library as well as an editor for a small press and for the now defunct ShadowKeep Ezine. She's also a published author so can see things from both sides of the fence. In 2013, she "retired" and now spends her days helping authors make their dream come true—as well as working as much as she can with her local theater group.
Marianne Arkins: Grammar freak and coffee lover, Marianne wrote her first novel at ten years old, built her first commercial website in 2000, and published for the first time in 2006. She worked as a professional editor for just over a year, and knows what it's like to write, edit and promote a book on a budget.
What got you interested in promoting books?
Do your write, if so what genre?
Judy: When I get time-- I love to write! I've tried my hand at several different genres, but Marianne said my voice really comes through on fantasy. That's nice to know, because it's one of my very favorite genres to read.
Marianne: I am a published author, and write in various romance genres (so far I'm published in contemporary and historical romance, thought I'm working on a romantic suspense and a fantasy romance as well, currently, with ideas on both paranormal romance and a young adult).
Do you ever feel like walking away?
Judy: Only at 4 AM in the morning when the alarm goes off.. LOL. Seriously, I enjoy the work and love the freedom that comes with it. I'm not a morning person by nature, though, so that 4 AM alarm is not my favorite sound in the day.
Marianne: Every day! LOL… okay not exactly, but like any job, it has it's good and bad points. Mostly, I absolutely love what I do, but now and then something happens that makes me question why I do this. The upside is that for every negative, there are dozens of positives (mostly the authors and hosts we work with).
Judy: I asked my husband, because I couldn't think of any… he said I have a crazy cat, but not an crazy habits. So, there it is, from an unbiased POV.
Marianne: This is really hard…. Oh, one thing I do is, when I'm really, really tired, I start typing simple words backwards. Without thinking about it. So "the" would be "eht" or "cat" would come out "tac". I have a weird brain (just ask Judy).
Readers, there are some great giveaways - in addition to the poetry -- check them out below. Feel free to visit the other tour stops this month and enter to win, there, too!

Netflix Unveils 'The Sandman' Series First Look
Matt Singer Published: September 25, 2021
Long regarded as one of the greatest comics series in history, The Sandman is finally getting a long-awaited — and long-attempted — adaptation when Netflix brings it to television in a brand new series. For decades since it debuted in the late 1980s, people have been trying to adapt Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, primarily as movie. Pulp Fiction co-writer Roger Avary worked on a version for a few years and about a decade ago David S. Goyer was involved in a totally different project based on the series, which would have starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the title character. That never happened either. Supposedly, some of these Sandman movie projects were so dire they turned Gaiman off from working on anything at DC Comics involving its characters for years.
The Sandman finally came together as a TV series, which was probably always a better fit for the material anyway. The original comic book ran for 75 series through the mid-'90s and has been revived by Gaiman a few times in various graphic novels and spinoffs. Netflix's Sandman was developed by Allan Heinberg, a TV veteran (he worked on Gilmore Girls, Grey's Anatomy, and Scandal, among many others) who is also a comic book writer. (He's the co-creator of Young Avengers, an excellent book that looks like it could be adapted to the MCU in the years ahead.) The show stars Tom Sturridge as Dream, with Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer and Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death. The first teaser for the show is here — watch it below:
The series' official Instagram account launched with the show's official logo, which comes straight from the Gaiman comic book:
Here is the show's official synopsis:
A rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven, The Sandman follows the people and places affected by Morpheus, the Dream King, as he mends the cosmic — and human — mistakes he's made during his vast existence.
The Sandman premieres soon on Netflix.

Mark Zuckerberg's Newest Immigration Advocate: "Chief Running Site"
Sam Biddle · 11/18/13 10:31AM
Mark Zuckerberg's pet lobbying group has a new CTO, Darius Contractor. Like any friend of Zuck's, Darius has an extensive back catalog of Facebook tags, including one in which he's dressed as an American Indian, standing before a "God Bless America" banner in front of a door on which a border crossing warning sign hangs. Immigration reform was a natural next step.
Mark Zuckerberg's Newest Friend: Paul Ryan
Zuck has dined with Barack Obama, and now his political arm in Washington is pushing for a man who very recently tried to end Obama's presidency. Politico reports FWD.us, the Silicon Valley lobbying cabal, is dropping $350,000 on pro-Ryan ads.
Zuckerberg's Latest Political Ad Is a Tom Clancy Wet Dream
Sam Biddle · 07/23/13 01:43PM
You know the story: Mark Zuckerberg and his (largely liberal) friends want to hire more foreign engineers, so they're pushing for an immigration bill that needs strong conservative support. They've had to play dirty—and their latest TV ad is maybe the silliest sellout yet.
FWD.us Is Probably Going To Win Its Immigration Fight
Just in regarding that fat immigration reform bill: a preliminary vote in the Senate shows "15 Republicans backing the measure and no Democrats opposing it," a sign of "growing momentum" in DC, says the WSJ. Zuck (and friends), looks like you did it.

Contact Tracing with Vital Strategies
Understanding the importance of contact tracing

Affirming the rights of black New Yorkers
E-cig prevention
case study:
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit Black and Latinx communities especially hard, and contact tracing is crucial to control the spread of this virus. At the same time, these marginalized communities are wary of participating in contact tracing efforts. Their hesitation is two-pronged: first, Black and Latinx communities have an existing distrust of government institutions because of past discrimination; and second, they worry about their information being used against them by insurance companies, employers, or law enforcement. This resistance has serious implications for controlling COVID-19 and could lead to further community resistance when a vaccine is developed.
Hoping to overcome these obstacles, Zebra Strategies teamed up with Vital Strategies to understand why exactly marginalized communities are wary of contact tracing and determine which strategies would relieve their fears.
To understand this crucial question, Zebra Strategies organized twelve focus groups of six to ten people each, with a total of 88 participants. These groups were made up of Black and Latinx people from New York City and Philadelphia. A psychologist oversaw these groups and recorded their responses.
These focus groups revealed a high level of distrust among Black and Latinx communities over contact tracing. Participants are angry about the government's poor response to COVID-19 and feel that leaders are encouraging chaos instead of helping. This anger has magnified because of past government discrimination and the heavy toll of COVID-19 on marginalized communities.
The participants revealed that their distrust of contact tracing is rooted in Black and Latinx communities being failed by the system in the past. Common fears include a risk of surveillance or harassment from government agents or law enforcement, losing insurance or employment because of their health status, and their information being shared with unauthorized parties. They also noted that they are uncomfortable speaking to strangers about personal information and worry that people with COVID-19 will face public humiliation.
On a more positive note, the focus groups also revealed that Black and Latinx community members are very willing to help control COVID-19 for the good of their neighbors and relatives. They want to do their part, so a proper outreach strategy could overcome these hurdles.
Using the data from these focus groups, Zebra Strategies developed five main suggestions for a successful contact tracing plan in marginalized communities:
Contact tracers should be local. Community members are much more likely to cooperate with local representatives than with the federal government and answer phone calls with local area codes.
Cooperation with community groups is crucial. Endorsement of contact tracing from local churches, mosques, schools, and civic groups will make community members feel much safer.
Contact tracing needs better explanation. People are more likely to cooperate if they understand exactly what contact tracing is. Participants noted that hearing this from someone who recovered from COVID-19 would make them more open to it.
People need assurances of confidentiality. Since marginalized communities already distrust government oversight, they need extra reassurance that their information won't be shared with anyone.
Contract tracers must have cultural empathy. Participants prefer to work with tracers who are people of color. In all cases, the tracer should be sensitive and respectful of the people they reach out to.
With these strategies, health departments can implement more effective contact tracing programs that reach out to marginalized communities, controlling the spread of COVID-19 and saving lives.


If a person has enough money to build a Masjid, but he has relatives who are renting, should the person donate the money to build the Masjid? Or he should give the money to his relatives in order to build a home?
In the name of Allah the Ever-Merciful.
Building a Masjid will take priority.
Now, if the relatives are really needy so they are not able pay for their rent or to buy food for their family members, then and only then, helping them with the rent takes priority. Otherwise, the building of the Masjid will have the priority as instructed by Allah in Surah At-Taubah (9:60).

La A.S.D. All Blacks W.H. 2005 è una squadra italiana di hockey in carrozzina o wheelchairhockey, sport ormai conosciuto a livello mondiale, nel quale si annoverano in Italia due categorie, la Serie A1 e la Serie A2.

Storia
La squadra A.S.D. All Blacks W.H. 2005 (più propriamente Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica All Blacks Wheelchairhockey 2005) nasce a Genova il 7 settembre 1997 dalla squadra di Wheelchairhockey Gufi Genova, piccolo gruppo sportivo anch'esso creatosi nel 1995 dalla scissione con la squadra Blue Devils Genova.

La squadra "All Blacks" fu fondata dai Sig.ri Davide Garofano, Michele Trani, Gianluca Multari, ed Elio Parisi. Davide Garofano fu nominato Presidente dal Direttivo, e come atleta si fece conoscere per aver partecipato successivamente ai campionati mondiali di hockey in carrozzina ad Helsinki nel 2004.
Nel 1995 come detto, dalla squadra Blue Devils Genova, a causa dell'elevato numero di giocatori, venne creata una seconda squadra, dando così la possibilità a molti ragazzi di giocare e confrontarsi nel palcoscenico nazionale. Si scelse di trasferire 6 giocatori della prima squadra, i quali formarono i Gufi Genova. Successivamente i Gufi cambiarono denominazione in A.S.D. All Blacks W.H. 2005.
Davide Garofano, Michele Trani, Gianluca Multari, Elio Parisi, Mauro Guidorossi, Alfredo Marangoni, questo era il gruppo che formava la nuova squadra. Ragazzi tosti che diedero prova di grande carattere, tenendo testa a squadre già blasonate e di maggiore forza fisica come Dream Team Milano e Sharks Monza. Dopo la prima stagione nel 1995, alcuni giocatori scelsero strade diverse, e la squadra rimase con quattro elementi, non sufficiente per affrontare la stagione successiva. Decisero in comune accordo di prendersi un anno sabbatico, solo fatto di allenamenti, per migliorarsi, ed essere più competitivi. Aveva inizio così la storia della A.S.D. All Blacks W.H. 2005.

'Rebuild Evangelion' is upon us!
Before I hit the books again and prepare for a host of exams and deadlines, I wanted to make sure I weblogged something about "Rebuild Evangelion", which I only found out a couple of days ago.
If you're an Eva fan (artistically, philosophically, et al), you must definitely watch this remake of the series, with new scenes, characters, and of course, cutting edge animation: all of these in good old Eva style. Also, the plot has been worked out a bit to make it a little more appreciable (if I'm not mistaken) than the original series.
If anybody knows how I can download (torrent, direct download, etc.) and/or copy this movie, please tell me!


May 26, 2012 - Mild nose with musky fruit, some lychee. Buttery on the palate, showing lychee fruit and oak.
May 26, 2012 - Flowers and honey on the nose, with citrus and apple in the middle, and some pear at the end. Rich and Burberry on the palate, with apple pie and citrus, some tropical fruit on the mid-palate, and a good pear finish.
February 14, 2011 - Color is clear, medium, lemon.
Nose is clean, medium, fruit and oak. Expressive oak but not out of line.
Palate is off dry, touch of heat on the finish.
Palate is medium acidity, medium + body (with lots of oak showing off) and a medium - finish.
Overall this is good wine, obvious in its use of expensive oak which the fruit doesn't quite back up. I don't believe that the fruit and oak on the palate will ever soften out and round the finish. This is the way it is and should be drunk now and up to 2 more years.
Fine at $47 but undistinguished from the Napa $50 Chard. crowd.
