2010The Parrot and the Merchant
by Marjan Fouladvand
The present book is a re-creation of one of Rumi's famous anecdotes. The distinctive feature of this book is that a coffeehouse painting is used for its illustration. Coffeehouse painting is one of the Iranian painting styles which is implemented by oil paint. One of the applications of coffeehouse painting is in Naghali (narration). Naghal (a narrator) is someone who recounts Iranian myths and epics in verse and prose with the help of music and slides of coffeehouse paintings live to the audience. The tradition of Naghali (narration), which is registered as an intangible cultural heritage in UNESCO is one of the oldest methods of Iranian storytelling. The parrot and the merchant, with its special illustrations, seems to be the same Naghali (narration) who has been written this time and turned into a book. A merchant living in distant lands has a beautiful talking parrot that he is very interested in. This parrot has been with him all the moments of the merchant's life and all this time he has been imprisoned in a silver cage with a golden bar. The merchant, who has to go to India for trade, asks all his relatives what souvenirs they want. When it comes to the parrot, it says, "If you go to the forests of India and see other parrots that are free and live happily on the trees, ask them what I should do with this grief of loneliness and confinement". The merchant goes to the forest and conveys his parrot message to the Indian parrots. Upon hearing this, one of the parrots falls from the tree and dies. The merchant returns regretful and upset and describes what he saw to his parrot. Upon hearing this story, the merchant’s astute parrot also falls from the gold bar and dies. The merchant opens the cage with tears and grief to get the parrot out. Unaware that the parrots have participated in making a clever plan.

Public health & preventive medicineJune 2004The Infectious Etiology of Chronic Diseases
Defining the Relationship, Enhancing the Research, and Mitigating the Effects -- Workshop Summary
by Stacey L. Knobler, Siobhan O'Connor, Stanley M. Lemon, Marjan Najafi, Editors, Forum on Microbial Threats
In recent years, a number of chronic diseases have been linked, in some cases definitively, to an infectious etiology: peptic ulcer disease with Helicobacter pylori, cervical cancer with several human papillomaviruses, Lyme arthritis and neuroborreliosis with Borrelia burgdorferi, AIDS with the human immunodeficiency virus, liver cancer and cirrhosis with hepatitis B and C viruses, to name a few. The proven and suspected roles of microbes does not stop with physical ailments; infections are increasingly being examined as associated causes of or possible contributors to a variety of serious, chronic neuropsychiatric disorders and to developmental problems, especially in children. The Infectious Etiology of Chronic Diseases: Defining the Relationship, Enhancing the Research, and Mitigating the Effects, summarizes a two-day workshop held by the Institute of Medicine’s Forum on Microbial Threats to address this rapidly evolving field. Participants explored factors driving infectious etiologies of chronic diseases of prominence, identified difficulties in linking infectious agents with chronic outcomes, and discussed broad-based strategies and research programs to advance the field.

Biography & True StoriesTHE PATH
by NEJC ZAPLOTNIK
“Anyone looking for a goal will remain empty when it will be reached, but whoever finds a way, will always carry the goal inside.” Nejc Zaplotnik THE PATH is a novel by Slovenian author and climber Nejc Zaplotnik (1952-1983). It was first published in Ljubljana 1981. The book narrates, in a novelized way, Zaplotnik’s life and experiences as an alpinist in postwar Slovenia, culminating in the ascension of both Makalu and Everest. It is 41 years since Andrej Štremfelj and Nejc Zaplotnik made history as the first Slovenians who reached the summit of the highest mountain in the world. By 1979, the summit of Mount Everest had been reached by every major ridge, yet a large expedition from Yugoslavia arrived to top their last achievement of making the first ascent of Makalu South Face. The West Ridge of Everest was a long unconventional line to the top. It was first climbed by the Americans in 1963, and is still well celebrated in the United States today. Except the Americans climbed only the upper half. The Yugoslavians came to traverse it all starting at the base, low in the Lho La pass. Like many national expeditions in those days, it was huge. It included 25 Yugoslavian mountaineers, 19 Sherpas, three cooks, three kitchen boys, two mail runners, 700 porters and 18 tons of gear. The ascent had to overcome a steep and severe gap, which required a winch to overcome so it was possible to haul the gear over the broken portion of the ridge. All efforts and ingenuity combined, the Yugoslavians positioned three Slovenian climbers at Camp V who were close to each other, Nejc Zaplotnik, Andrej Stremfelj, and Andrej’s brother, Marko Stremfelj. The aim of the expedition was to climb the West Ridge, first time in history. An expedition that worked in the spirit of a time when collective consciousness ruled to achieve a goal would not work as it did if it were not logistically and organizationally well managed. From Khumbu Glacier at 5350 m, where the base camp was located, rises 700m high rock wall of the Lho La saddle, followed by a 1200-meter-high slope of the Western Shoulder, continuing into a 2500-meter long, laid but sharp and windy ridge, at the end of which is the beginning of the steep and vibrant peak of the Everest Pyramid. Because the wall of the Lho-La saddle was overhanging in the upper part, cargo could not be carried on the back, so Stefan Marenče constructed a manual ropeway at home, with the help of which more than 5 tonnes of equipment was used for the altitude supply of the camps. The goal of the expedition was reached on 13 May 1979 at 13.51, when Andrej Štremfelj and Nejc Zaplotnik stood as the first Slovenes on the roof of the world. “We sit by the Chinese pyramid and we don’t know what to do!” (Nejc Zaplotnik) On May 15, 1979 at 2.30pm, Stane Belak-Schrauf, Croat Stipe Bozic and Sherpa Ang Phu also reached the summit. Ang Phu accidentally slipped 2000 meters deep onto the Chinese side when descending. Format: 18,8 x 12,5 cm 282 pages Paperback
