Local mosquito transmission means that mosquitoes in the area are infected with the Zika virus and are spreading to people. Because the Zika virus is primarily spread by mosquitoes, the CDC is recom- mending that travelers to Antigua and Barbu- da protect themselves from mosquito bites. There is no vaccine or medication for Zika virus and the best way to avoid the infection is to prevent mosquito bites, the CDC said. It said some travelers to areas with Zika will become infected while traveling but will not become sick until they return home and they might not have any symptoms, The CDC also stated that sexual Cheers to Kirani and Lashawn transmission of Zika virus from a male partner is also possible.

  • Translating Brazil: from Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010
    Translating Brazil: From Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010 By Krista Marie Brune A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Natalia Brizuela, Co-chair Professor Candace Slater, Co-chair Professor Scott Saul Spring 2016 Abstract Translating Brazil: From Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010 by Krista Marie Brune Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Natalia Brizuela, Co-chair Professor Candace Slater, Co-chair This dissertation analyzes how travel and translation informed the construction of Brazil as modern in the 19th century, and how similar processes of transnational translation continue to shape the cultural visibility of the nation abroad in the contemporary moment. By reading journals, literary works, and cultural criticism, this study inserts Brazilian literature and culture into recent debates about translatability, world literature, and cosmopolitanism, while also underscoring the often-overlooked presence of Brazilians in the United States. The first half of the dissertation contends that Portuguese-language periodicals Correio Braziliense (London, 1808-1822), Revista Nitheroy (Paris, 1836), and O Novo Mundo (New York, 1870-1879) translated European and North American ideas of technology and education to a readership primarily in Brazil. The transnational circulation of these periodicals contributed to the self- fashioning of intellectuals who came to define the nation. To suggest parallels between Brazil and the United States in the late 19th century, the analysis of O Novo Mundo focuses on discourses of nation, modernity, and technological progress emerging in the hemispheric travels of scientists, intellectuals, and the Brazilian empire Dom Pedro II, and in the national displays at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia.

Dorticos read the letter attentively in my presence and declared that he considers it wise and that it has enormous practical significance. If the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, said Dorticos, correctly understand the letter and respond to N. S. Khrushchev’s appeal, then many misunderstandings and misconceptions in the workers’ and Communist movement will disappear and the threat of a split will be liquidated.

  • EU and Emerging Powers
    EU & THE EMERGING POWERS 29-30 April 2013 European Parliament Brussels EU AND THE EMERGING POWERS: CAN TURKEY BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN THE EU AND THE BRICS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA? Assist.Prof.Dr. Aylin Ünver Noi1 The emerging major economies in the world BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) showed that their growing economic strength might be converted into new rivalries in the multipolar world when they succeed in converting their economic power into political power (Ünver Noi 2011, 194). When Russia and China vetoed and Brazil, South Africa and India abstained from a draft resolution condemning Syrian repression, we have witnessed BRICS are siding with each other on the issues which are opposed to policy preferences of the EU despite the EU’s strategic partnership with Russia and EU-China High Level Strategic Dialogue (Portela 2012, 6). In this international milieu, Turkey’s soft power and its economic, social, and political performance during the past decade have inspired the Arab world. While Turkey turned toward greater development of its relations with the countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), it also took some steps to develop its relations with the BRICS. Turkey, a NATO member, became a dialogue partner of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) on June 20122 – an organization in which three of BRICS, Russia and China are full members 1 Aylin Ünver Noi is assistant professor at the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Department of International Relations, Gedik University, Istanbul.
