Feature: Afghanistan wants its cultural heroes back

KABUL (Reuters) - - Interred a quarter century ago in Pakistan, the remains of Afghan poet Ustad Khalilullah Khalili now lie in a forlorn corner of Kabul University, brought here to be reburied so that no one else can lay claim to the revered poet-philosopher.

He has no epitaph; only a few wilted bouquets lie at the grave of Afghanistan's most prominent 20th century poet. Three policemen guard the site.

But if President Hamid Karzai - who ordered the remains be disinterred from a grave in the Pakistani city of Peshawar last month - has his way, the reburial will become an assertion of Afghan culture over encroachment by Pakistan and Iran.

"We brought him back from Pakistan because he was our poet and scholar," said Mohammad Hussain Yamin, head of the Persian and Dari department at Kabul University.

"We don't want someone in future to say that he belonged to Pakistan just because he lived the final years of his life there."

The assertion of cultural sovereignty is part of an effort to unite Afghanistan and prove it can stand on its own after most foreign troops leave at the end of 2014.

The government says it wants an end to "foreign interference", usually a reference to Pakistan, but also Iran with which it is locked in a fierce debate over ownership of some of the greatest poets and philosophers in the region.

Poetry is big in Afghanistan, from the time of the kings of the 10th century to the present day, permeating every level of society from children in school to warlords and even the austere Taliban who study long works of classical Persian poetry as part of their education in religious schools.

It's the thread that runs between Afghanistan's often warring ethnic groups whether Tajik, Hazara, Pashtun, Uzbek, Turkmen, Nuristani, Baluch, or any of the many other sub-groups and clans.

CULTURAL CLAIMS

But along with the death and destruction of the past three decades, Afghans say they also lost a chunk of their rich cultural heritage with Iran, Pakistan and even Turkey claiming parts of it.

Many, like Khalili, left the country to escape the wars and died in faraway lands which slowly began to claim them as their own, Afghanistan says.

Now it aims to get its heritage back.

"Iran wants to show the world it had a glorious past. This has been going on for years, they have been claiming many of our literary figures as their own. We cannot remain silent," said Jalal Noorani, an adviser at the Information and Culture Ministry.

Debate has long raged over Rumi, arguably the greatest Persian poet, but now as Afghanistan begins to stand on its feet, the claims and counter-claims have intensified not only over him but also others.

Rumi, known as Mawlana Jalal-ud-Din Balkhi in Afghanistan and Mevlevi in Iran, was born in the 13th century in Balkh which was at the time an eastern part of the Persian empire of Khorasan but is now a province in northern Afghanistan.

His family moved and they eventually settled in present-day Turkey where he wrote some of the greatest mystic Sufi poetry in Persian.

Today, all three countries regard him as their national poet even though his poetry itself transcends borders, religion and ethnic divides.

Rumi's poetry is displayed on the walls of Tehran, sung in Iranian music and read in Iranian school books. Iranians are known to live with his poetry.

But Yamin says what is indisputable is that his origins were in Afghanistan. Rumi's occupies pride of place on a billboard in Yamin's room that gives details of the birth dates and place of birth of poets that others have laid claim to.

"We have repeatedly given evidence that these figures belong to Afghanistan, not Iran. When we sit down with the Iranians and discuss these issues, they don't offer any evidence. They say in the past both countries were one, so they call all these poets, philosophers Iranian," said Yasmin.

CHALLENGE

Iranian embassy officials could not be reached for comment and did not respond to an email.

In the past, Iranians have challenged Afghanistan to a test of history, suggesting they were waking up a bit late to claim inheritance.

At a concert in Kabul a few years ago, an Iranian singer challenged any member of the audience to speak for two minutes on Rumi since they claimed he was their own. Afghan authorities took offence and the concert had to end hastily.

"Afghans are a bit late at this. Iran and Turkey have stolen their thunder," said Mohammad Taqi, a U.S.-based columnist for Pakistan's Daily Times newspaper who has written extensively on the Pashtun heartland straddling Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Iran, he said, had milked Rumi and the whirling dervishes that his poetry inspired by setting up cultural centers on the pattern of Germany's Goethe Institute.

Still, this new burst of cultural revivalism in Afghanistan can help bridge the distance between the Tajiks and the Hazaras, and to a certain extent the Pashtuns, he said.

"A supra-ethnic Afghan identity needs non-violent icons."

Photos of the 1940s Ad Agency Office That ... - Business Insider

Library of Congress

Inside the Federal Advertising Agency.

The Federal Advertising Agency was not, as its name suggests, a government regulatory body. It was actually a working advertising agency located at the old Manhattan Savings Building, at 385 Madison Avenue. While the building is now demolished, there are a few surviving pictures of what the shop looked like in 1947.

We found them in the Library of Congress' photo archives.

One of FAA's alumni may have been Robert Pirosh, who went on to write for the Marx Brothers.

FAS also worked for the Pan American Coffee Bureau, and one of its campaigns coined the phrase "coffee break" with the tagline, ""Give yourself a Coffee-Break -- and Get What Coffee Gives to You."

For those who think Mad Men?embellishes about how progressive design was in the 1960s, you'll be shocked to see how modern things were only two years after World War II.

The photos unveil an aggressively modern, minimalist space. Unfortunately, the photos are in black and white so we can't see if the colors were vibrant. But this office tour nonetheless puts a lot of today's workplaces to shame.

Britney Spears Turns Heads at X Factor Auditions


Britney Spears showed off two big reasons why she was brought on board The X Factor as the auditions for the Fox show rolled into Providence, R.I.

We mean her hair and her smile, of course.

The 30-year-old pop star and first-time reality TV judge looked better and happier than ever, showing off her wavy blonde locks and beautiful smile.

Okay, the red dress isn't shabby either.

Britney Spears Hair StyleBritney Spears Cleavage Photo

Joining the singer at the city's Dunkin' Donuts Center were fellow newcomer Demi Lovato, Season 1 holdover L.A. Reid and of course Simon Cowell.

It's unclear if they've yielded any singing talent, but so far, X Factor auditions have led to a lot of Britney Spears and Demi Lovato hair Google searches.

Easy to see why, based on the Britney Spears pics above. The girls look great!

Drake/Chris Brown Brawl Club Loses Liquor License

New York State Liquor Authority charges W.i.P. with 17 violations, saying the club poses a 'threat to public health and safety.'
By Rob Markman


W.i.P. nightclub

The fall-out from June 14's bottle-bashing brawl reportedly between Drake's and Chris Brown's camps continues.

On Tuesday, The New York State Liquor Authority ordered an emergency suspension of W.i.P.'s liquor license, the club where the incident took place. W.i.P., with its adjacent (and affiliated) club Greenhouse, were both slapped with 17 separate violations.

The New York Daily News is reporting that R. Kelly, New York Knicks basketball star Iman Shumpert and the cast of the upcoming film "Savages" all had scheduled parties at the clubs, but now will have to look for new venues.

"The SLA will not tolerate violent bars that break the law," SLA Chairman Dennis Rosen said in a press release obtained by MTV News. "This should serve as a message that this agency will not hesitate to take immediate action when licensees pose a threat to public health and safety."

The release cites 10 separate assaults and altercations at the two clubs, the earliest occurring on March 11 and the latest being the bottle-throwing incident which left quite a few patrons injured, including NBA star Tony Parker, who is now suing the club for $20 million after he suffered a cut in his left eye.

While both Drake and Chris Brown and their respective entourages have been implicated in the brawl, police have yet to charge any of the men with a crime. Meek Mill, whose has also seen his name circulate in the brawl rumors, will appear on Wednesday's "RapFix Live" and address the drama starting at 4 p.m.

Before They Were Famous: Michelle Williams on 'Home Improvement'

Michelle Williams on Home Improvement

YouTube

Doesn't it kinda seem like Michelle Williams has always been famous? After all, despite the fact that she's only 31, Williams -- whose latest film is the relationship drama?"Take This Waltz" -- has been appearing in movies and on television for nearly 20 years, earning three Oscar nominations for films like "My Week with Marilyn" and "Brokeback Mountain." She is, as they say, big time.

But hard as it is to remember, there was a point before she was famous ? and we've got the goofy sitcom clip to prove it.

Here's the deal: Back in 1995, "Home Improvement," which starred Tim Allen as a fix-it guru with his own TV show about repairing houses, was one of the most popular sitcoms in America, in part because of its family friendly storylines involving teen heartthrobs Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Zachery Ty Bryan.

Also Check Out: Q&A: Michelle Williams Doesn't Want You to Settle

And since every teenage boy in a sitcom needs a cute love interest, enter Williams as Jessica, a modern girl with stylish bangs, a hip sweater vest and an open mind about dudes who wear makeup. Hey, the '90s! Needless to say, Williams has blocked most of it out.

"The only thing that I remember was being backstage before," Williams recently told us."Because when you do a sitcom, you come out and you do a curtain call, and the only thing that I remember was seeing the behind-the-scenes, like how the house was built, you know, that it?s not a real house. It?s plywood back there, and people scrawl things on the plywood, and it?s all kind of a construction zone. I remember the behind-the-scenes more than I remember what happened in front of the scenes."

Don't worry, Michelle, we're happy to refresh your memory! Here it is, courtesy of YouTube:

The Real Housewives of Orange County Season Finale Recap: Things Fall Apart


Friendship bracelets, Pussycat dolls, Costa Rica, engagement rings, and cake-eating party crashers. This season of The Real Housewives of Orange County has had it all.

Tonight, on the season finale, notes are compared and confrontations are had.

Find out how it all goes down with THG's official +/- recap!

The Real Housewives of Orange County Cast

Sarah's still being a ball of drunken crazy about being picked on for breaking the cake. Over her. Minus 3.

In two signs of the Apocalypse, Terry calls Brooks "a really nice guy" (Minus 4) and Tamra decides to eat carbs (Plus 4).

To commemorate their five months of being friends, and as a tit-for-tat from the first episode, Gretchen gives Tamra a friendship bracelet. Each charm represents something special, but one heart represents how Tamra's unbreakable. Tamra tells Gretchen she loves her and thanks her for being such a good friend.

And then she cries again. While Tamra needs to lay off the booze tonight, it's a nice moment for these ladies. Plus 10.

Sarah's still whining about the cake and has the audacity to call Heather the rude one. Heather calls for the "heavy artillery" - a bunch of ladies in cocktail dresses and Terry and says it's time for Sarah to go. Plus 3.

Alexis tries to get louder than everyone else to bring about a resolution and Slade speaks up as the voice of reason. There's no need for a resolution. There's a need for Sarah to leave because that's what's been asked of her.

As they get Sarah to the door, the greatest line in all of reality television ever, or maybe just this season, falls out of Sarah's mouth: "Is this the world we live in? Over a bleeping piece of tiny cake?"

Yes, Sarah. Yes it is. Buh-bye. Plus 10.

Heather Dubrow Pic

The party's still rocking at Chateau Dubrow, and Vicki decides it's time to "apologize" to Ryan for bringing him up in her fight with Briana. But in Vickiwood, apologize means "talk about yourself and make things all about how everyone else is wrong." Minus 17.

She thinks Ryan will help her get Briana back, but Ryan says this is really Vicki's problem. Then she says "I love you. I don't know you and you took my daughter away, but I love you." Uh, thanks? Ryan loves you too? Minus 8.

Alexis is rambling on to Brooks about how Jim isn't there because he didn't want to be there. And who sneaks in the door but Jim!

Heather's Drama-Senses are tingling and Alexis is chipper over Jim's arrival. WAY chipper. Way more than just one cocktail chipper. Minus 11. Terry comments to a guest that Jim "grew a pair and showed up" right before he does the man-hug-handshake thing that men do.

In Camp Gunvalson, Jeana's daughter Kara sees Slade hug Tamra and is confused. Gretchen applies Tamra's lipgloss (by kissing her) and Vicki goes traipsing across the yard. She thinks Tamra and Gretchen's friendship is fake and calls Tamra a brown-noser. Let it go, Vicki. Gretchen's just more fun than you. Minus 7.

Slade offers up his services as bouncer again should Terry need them. He's prepared to send Jim packing if he needs to. Terry asks if they're okay and Jim says they'll talk next week.

Alexis says they should just talk now and in a complete douchebag move, Jim asks "really? Are you wearing the pants?" Minus 50. I just can't stand this man.

Jim and Terry go talk and Terry's straight up with Jim. He thinks Alexis is phony and inauthentic. Plus 5. Heather walks up and Jim nods in her direction and says this is the reason he wanted to talk next week.

Jim's got a problem with the women-folk. But, the talk continues. Until Tamra walks up. Then Jim's out. Minus 10, Tamra. This wasn't your conversation to have.

Alexis says Heather shouldn't have even been in the conversation and it should've just been Jim and Terry, man-to-man. Actually, sweetheart, it should've been YOU and Terry because Terry talked about you. But whatever.

Par-Tay

Alexis goes out to talk to Jim and Jim's pulling out of the driveway without her. She practically has to chase him down the driveway to get him to stop the car. Minus 12.

The gang's all at the table now. And the booze is flowing. Vicki toasts to the absent Alexis and Tamra rolls her eyes. Brooks challenges her, saying she gave Vicki the "Evil Eye," and picks a fight with Tamra on Vicki's behalf. Gretchen says a fight's been brewing between the two of them for months.

Tamra and Brooks start to argue and then Vicki tells Eddie to get control of Tamra, which causes Tamra to tell Vicki to stop letting Brooks tell her what to think, which makes Vicki stand up and get in Tamra's face.

Can we cut the cake already? Maybe these ladies need some sugar.

Vicki and Brooks prepare to leave and Tamra follows them to find out why they're leaving. Vicki shouts that Tamra's supposed to be her friend and how dare Tamra talk about Brooks and disrespect him and blah blah blah. Get a grip, Vicki.

Tamra goes to find Briana after Vicki and Brooks leave and they compare notes. Neither of them like Brooks. Tamra's crying. Briana's ready to stick Brooks on a plane to Siberia. Ryan goes back into the house to get Briana away from Tamra so that Tamra can't corrupt Briana while she and Vicki are "in a healing phase." Minus 4.

Heather goes out to get Vicki and Brooks and bring them back in for her special toast. Briana asks Vicki for Vicki's side of the story. Suddenly, it seems Vicki saw Tamra roll her eyes and she chooses Brooks over her daughter. They all head back into the party for the final toast. Minus 12.

Finally, we're cutting this damn cake.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Finale Pic

Heather explains why they're all there - shockingly, it wasn't for the drama - she's changed her name legally and wants to thank her friends, new and old, for coming out to support her. Heather's classy. I like her. Plus 30.

In the worst Vicki moment so far, she muscles her way into the circle to say, basically, "Congrats Heather. When I'm attacked, I fight back and I'm leaving and I'm choosing my man." I'm surprised she didn't drop a "my love tank is full" for good measure. Minus 20.

Heather's big surprise of the night - diamonds in the champagne glasses - goes over well. Tamra gets the lucky flute. Now she's got a new rock to match the one Eddie gave her in Bora Bora.

Closing notes:

  • Tamra asks Heather to do shots. Not a good idea, Tamra. Heather says they don't do shots. Tamra calls her Fancypants. In love, of course.
  • Heather's still opening up a restaurant.
  • Eddie asks Ryan, Tamra's son, to be his best man when Eddie and Tamra tie the knot. Tamra needs another drink.
  • Briana says that she and Vicki's relationship will really continue to suffer as long as Vicki keeps choosing Brooks.
  • Briana and Ryan had a wedding for their friends and family. Briana's also six months pregnant.
  • Tamra and Gretchen are closer than Gretchen and Alexis. 
  • Gretchen doesn't want to get married, but she does want a baby. Slade's having his vasectomy reversed.
  • Vicki and Brooks have broken up and gotten back together since the finale was taped.
  • Alexis is happy with her career and her family but not her friends. She and Jim are opening a trampoline park.

Health warning to women over their growing ... - Health and Fitness


The findings raise nationwide health concerns as the average waist size of
women from every region of England and Scotland was in the danger zone.

Women?s waistlines were largest in the North and the Midlands, with an average
of 87cm (34in), and the smallest were in London where women had an average
measurement of almost 82cm (32in).

Dr Davina Deniszczyc, professional head of physicians and diagnostics at
Nuffield Health, said: ?Whilst waist size may seem like a cosmetic issue,
this is not about women fitting into their skinny jeans, rather it is an
important indicator of overall health and wellbeing, particularly when taken
into account with other health measurements.

?Experts are increasingly finding central (or abdominal) obesity, measured
through waist size, to be a better indicator of obesity than BMI.

?The results for women highlight a worrying problem as fat being stored around
the waist can contribute to significant health issues, such as breast cancer
and infertility.?

Of the women who were measured in the study, half were aged between 26 and 46.

The research, carried out through the charity?s Health MOT programme, also
showed that many Britons suffer from a lack of sleep, with people getting an
average of seven hours a night.

Studies have recommended that adults should have seven to nine hours sleep per
night.

Fourteen per cent of the study participants said they smoked.

The Health MOT measures BMI, resting heart rate, cholesterol, aerobic fitness,
blood pressure and sugar levels.

Dr Deniszczyc said: ?Our Health MOT results provide a fascinating snapshot of
some of the health issues facing us as a nation.?

Chris Jones, head of physiology at Nuffield Health, said women concerned about
their waistline should check their waist size every few weeks to ensure it
is getting smaller.

He added: ?Some foods and drinks cause blood sugar levels to change too often
and can increase our fat store around the stomach, so try to avoid these.

?Make sure you exercise for at least two and a half hours per week and try to
walk as much as possible.

?If you are concerned about your waist size, visit your GP.?

Huawei pushes Ascend D Quad production to August, pins it on processor hiccups

Huawei Ascend D Quad hands-on

Those of us yearning to bring Huawei's Ascend D Quad on summer vacation will have to file that dream away for next year. The company's consumer division chief, Yu Chengdong, has pushed back the phone's volume production from this month to August. Blame for the setback rests squarely on that custom-developed K3V2 processor -- there have been "technical problems" getting it ready, if we go by Huawei's less than precise explanation. The timing certainly isn't what we'd call ideal: now that the Galaxy S III and One X are both common features of the smartphone landscape, the Ascend D Quad's performance won't be turning nearly as many heads when it arrives. We'll have to make do with the solid Ascend P1 in the meantime.

Twin Probes To Investigate Space Weather Mysteries

An artist's illustration of events on the sun changing the conditions in near-Earth space.

An artist's illustration of events on the sun changing the conditions in near-Earth space.

Late this summer, NASA plans to launch two very unusual weather satellites.

These satellites, known as the Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP), won't be tracking cold fronts or thunderstorms on Earth. They'll be studying the weather in space.

Space weather doesn't usually get much attention ? until it makes trouble here on Earth.

That trouble starts when the sun ejects a massive cloud of particles and energy that heads toward our planet. When the cloud gets close enough, it begins to interact with the Earth's magnetic field.

The result can be radiation so intense it threatens anything in orbit.

"We have communication satellites, we have navigation satellites in space," says Barry Mauk of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, the project scientist on the RBSP mission. "Those assets are strongly affected by radiation."

Satellites are especially vulnerable to highly energized electrons and protons that can "penetrate the boxes that comprise these spacecraft," Mauk says. "They can damage the circuitry. We have had failed spacecraft because of this space weather."

Space weather also can cause problems on the ground. Radio signals don't get through. GPS systems fail. Power grids go down.

And unfortunately, scientists aren't very good at predicting the impact of space weather.

One reason is a poor understanding of how solar storms affect the Earth's radiation belts, high-energy particles held in place by the earth's magnetic field, Mauk says. "Sometimes storms cause increases in radiation belts, sometimes they cause decreases in radiation belts, sometimes they have no effect at all," he says.

If scientists can solve this mystery, he says, predicting the impact of space weather could be more like predicting a hurricane's landfall.

But to study the problem, scientists need to see what's happening inside the radiation belts as a solar storm arrives. And that's where the new satellites come in.

They will be placed in an orbit that takes them through the radiation belts, says Jim Stratton, the mission systems engineer for the probes. Then, scientists will wait for a solar storm to arrive.

"When one of these big storms comes in, it can actually change and flex the magnetic field around the Earth," Stratton says. "So we'll measure that and then we'll see how all of that energy that's coming out of the sun deposits into the Earth's magnetic field, into the radiation belts."

Ordinary satellites wouldn't survive so much radiation. So Stratton and a large team at the Applied Physics Lab have spent years designing and building two very tough spacecraft.

Each of the spacecraft is an octagon about 4 feet tall. But once they are in space, they will deploy booms that extend about the length of a football field.

The probes are protected by heavy shielding that will keep radiation away from sensitive electronic components. And they are designed to preserve data gathered by onboard instruments even if radiation temporarily knocks out the computers.

"Most spacecraft try to avoid flying through the radiation belts because radiation is harmful," Stratton says. "We're going right into the middle of the environment."

The mission should improve their understanding of space weather, Mauk says. But it also may help explain the origin of mysterious radiation bursts in distant galaxies.

All of this depends on getting the probes into orbit and then coaxing them into precisely the right position, one following the other at a specified distance.

That's the responsibility of scientists in the Applied Physics Lab's mission control center. And fine-tuning an orbit is especially tricky when two satellites are involved, says Julia Andersen of the Mission Operations Team.

"Having two at the same time means you have to have two of everything," she says, including two separate "pits" in mission control that will accommodate two separate teams of scientists and technicians.

On launch day, those pits will be teeming with scientists and technicians who will take charge of the satellites once they leave the atmosphere, Andersen says.

"It's always fun knowing that you are in control of a spacecraft," she says.

Or in this case, two.

The probes are scheduled to launch from Kennedy Space Center on Aug. 23.

Payroll Outsourcing Services: Is It Right For Your Business?

A lot of companies have been questioning if payroll outsourcing services is proper for their company. Firstly, you have to know about payroll outsourcing prior to you try and employ an outsourcing organization to do the payroll for you.

First of all, you initial have to know what payroll outsourcing is. Payroll outsourcing services are outsourcing firms that will calculate your companys payroll, print and deliver checks to your company, adhere to the most current tax obligations, and also provide management reports.

So, why not just hire your personal controller and manage your companys payroll? Why employ a payroll outsourcing firm to do this for you?

There are so many elements that you should take into account on why you should hire payroll outsourcing services for your firm. First of all, if your company is rather significant, it will be suggested that you really should employ an organization that gives payroll outsourcing services.

The initial factor you have to ask your self is if either you can handle all the calculations and particulars of your payroll with precision, on time, and accurate. If you are not confident generating the payroll, you will want to employ an organization that offers payroll outsourcing services.

The second factor you have to consider is the size of your firm. Given that generating a payroll means that you have to make person computations for your staff, a firm that has a particularly huge numbers of personnel (a lot more than 20 individuals) will need to have to hire a payroll outsourcing services. Besides, you dont want to burden oneself with computing the amount that each and every of your workers will obtain.

You also have to understand all of the specifics involved in a filing your payroll taxes as an organization and for each and every of your personnel. If you dont recognize the particulars, you greater get payroll outsourcing services.
