अहमदाबाद. मशहूर चित्रकार मकबूल फिदा हुसैन अपने नए मुल्क कतर की सांस्कृतिक धरोहर को एक नई पहचान देने जा रहे हैं। वह इन दिनों मानव निर्मित ऊर्जा (कार) बनाम प्राकृतिक ऊर्जा (घोड़ा) को अपने चित्रों में उकेरने में व्यस्त हैं। उन्होंने बड़ी चालाकी से मानव और मशीनी विचार को अपनी चित्रकारी के जरिए दुनिया के सामने लाने का प्रयास किया है।हुसैन कतर में इस कलात्मक कार्य को मूर्तरूप देने के लिए काम कर रहे हैं। उनकी इस पेंटिंग में पांच मशहूर गाड़ियों फेरारी, बेंटले, जगुआर, फैंटम रॉयल्स रॉयस और बुगात्ती के बीच तीन आदमकद घोड़े को चित्रित किया गया है।
इन्हें लियोनादरे द विंची की 10 फीट ऊंची पेंटिंग फलाइंग मशीन और अब्बास इब्न फिरनास की मूर्ति के साथ प्रदर्शित किया जाएगा। इस प्रदर्शनी में हुसैन की इस 10 फीट लंबी और 40 फीट चौड़ी पेंटिंग को प्रदर्शित की जाएगी। इन रचनाओं को एक विशेष संग्रहालय में रखा जाएगा। इन्हें अमीरात के शासक शेख हमाद बिन खलीफा अल थानी की बीवी और कतर की पहली महिला का संरक्षण हासिल है। गौरतलब है कि हुसैन अपने इस अद्भुत प्रोजेक्ट पर तीन से भी अधिक वर्षो से काम कर रहे हैं। उनकी इस पेंटिंग में आदमकद घोड़े को मुरानो कांच से बनाया गया है, जो इटली में बनाया गया है और उसके बाद इसे कतर लाया गया।
इसमें हर घोड़े का वजन कम से कम दो टन है। इस म्यूजियम की थीम, फॉर्म फॉलोज फंक्शन है। इसे मानवीय शक्ति बनाम मशीन की परिकल्पना को समर्पित किया गया है। गौरतलब है कि 95 वर्षीय हुसैन ने दोहा में पिछले साल पहले इस्लामिक म्यूजियम के उद्घाटन के अवसर पर म्यूजियम को 15 पेंटिंग भेंट दी थीं।
अब वह कतर में इस पूरे प्रोजेक्ट के लिए अपनी 99 पेंटिंज्स का सहयोग देंगे। हुसैन को कतर में इस प्रोजेक्ट के लिए सम्मान के तौर पर एक बंगला दिया गया है। अहमदाबाद में आर्चर समूह के संस्थापक अध्यक्ष अनिल रेलिया ने बताया कि हुसैन ने भारत छोड़ने के तुरंत बाद कतर की पहली महिला से मुलाकात की।
रेलिया ने कहा कि हुसैन ने प्राचीन इस्लामिक संस्कृति पर पेंटिंग की एक सीरीज बनाई थी। इसका प्रदर्शन दोहा में होना था, लेकिन कुछ वजहों से इसे रद्द कर दिया गया। पर हुसैन की इन पेंटिंग को कतर की फस्र्ट लेडी ने देखा था और वह उनकी कला की मुरीद हो गईं। इसके बाद ही एमएफ हुसैन और कतर के शाही परिवार के बीच आपसी संबंधों की शुरुआत हुई।
28 दिनों का ये इलाज ख़ासतौर से कंप्यूटर गेम और सोशल नेटवर्किंग वेबसाइटों के दीवाने हो चुके ऐसे युवाओं के लिए है जिन्हें लगता है कि उनका जीवन इंटरनेट के बिना नहीं चल सकता.
ऐसे युवा इंटरनेट से वंचित होने पर चिड़चिड़े हो जाते हैं.
ऐसी लत ऑनलाइन गेम जैसी चीजों में बढ़ जाती है जहां पर गेम खत्म होने का नाम ही नहीं लेता.
लंदन स्थित कैपियो नाइटिंगल अस्पताल में ये इलाज शुरू किया है डॉ. रिचर्ड ग्राहम ने.
डॉक्टर ग्राहम कहते हैं,"इस तरह की लत से आपके जीवन के बाकी क्षेत्र प्रभावित हो सकते हैं. जीवन की बाकी गतिविधियों में शामिल होने की युवाओं की क्षमता प्रभावित हो सकती है."
हालाँकि डॉक्टर ग्राहम ने साथ ही बताया कि ऐसा नहीं है कि इलाज के बाद आप एकदम से इंटरनेट का इस्तेमाल ही बंद कर देंगे.
निराशाजनक व्यवहार
दक्षिण पूर्वी एशिया में ऑनलाइन गैम्बलिंग क्लिनिक पहले ही बड़ी संख्या में मौजूद हैं.
इस तरह के लत से आपके जीवन के बाकी क्षेत्र प्रभावित हो सकते हैं. जीवन की बाकी गतिविधियों में शामिल होने की युवाओं की क्षमता प्रभावित हो सकती है.

इस इलाके में लोग वर्चुअल वर्ल्ड पर काफी समय नष्ट करते हैं.
नतीजतन लोगों के असल जीवन में ढेर सारी समस्याएं पैदा हो रही हैं.
इस बारे में सबसे हाल का मिसाल दक्षिण कोरिया के एक दंपत्ति का है.
यह दंपत्ति 12-12 घंटे तक ऑनलाइन गेम खेल रहा था जबकि उनके बच्चे ने भूख से दम तोड़ दिया.
इलाज के तीन चरण
डॉक्टर ग्राहम ने इलाज को तीन चरणों में तैयार किया है.
शुरुआत में साइकोथैरेपी के जरिए रोगी के मसलों को सुलझाया जाता है.
अगला चरण है इंटरनेट के साथ लत को कमजोर करना और इसे खत्म करने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करना.
आखिरी चरण में रोगी को व्यायाम करने और परिवार-दोस्तों के बीच समय गुजारने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया जाता है.
We may take ours for granted, but atmospheres are responsible for creating some of the wonders of the Solar System.
The flimsy, thin blue line seen from space that surrounds Earth makes it a wonderfully diverse place.
Our atmosphere's unique chemical formula supplies us with the air we breathe, the water that bathes us and provides a soothing blanket that keeps us protected from the violence of space.
And where there are other atmospheres, there are other wonders.
Travel away from Earth at the speed of light for half an hour and you would enter the frozen realm of the outer Solar System.
Out here are planets that are nothing but atmosphere - unimaginably vast balls of churning gas and ice. These are alien, chaotic worlds with storms large enough to swallow Earth three times over and winds screaming across their surface at nearly the speed of sound.
Yet it is also out here amongst these alien planets that we have discovered a world that holds a striking resemblance to Earth. A moon orbiting Saturn called Titan.
When Titan was first discovered, it was thought to be the largest moon in the Solar System, but then astronomers realised their mistake.
At first they had not understood that this moon was unique. It had an atmosphere - a thick, dense orange haze, 10 times as deep as the Earth's atmosphere.
This made Titan look far larger than it really was.
Just like home
When they analysed this mysterious atmosphere, astronomers found that the chemical make-up was the most Earth-like in the Solar System, with plenty of nitrogen and a smattering of methane.
But, if this atmosphere is so similar to ours, what about the world it obscures? Our view of Titan sharpened with the arrival of the Cassini spacecraft, which has been performing a measured dance around Saturn and its moons since June 2004.
On Christmas Day of that year, the European Space Agency probe Huygens detached itself from Cassini and began a slow descent to the surface of Titan.
"It was amazing because we just had no idea what to expect," says Huygens project scientist Dr Ralph Lorenz. "We didn't know if it would be cratered like the moon, or a flat expanse of sand. And then the first pictures came back and it was just astonishingly familiar."
As it descended through the smog, Huygens captured images of a craggy, rocky-looking landscape. The images of its landing site was even more startling - it appeared to have settled on a gravelly plain, dotted with smooth, rounded stones.
According to Dr Lorenz, it was clear what these pictures meant: "There were few people who disputed the interpretation of a river channel. There really wasn't very much doubt."
Finding a river bed on a moon was an extraordinary discovery. By peeking through Titan's hydrocarbon shroud, we had revealed a world familiar to our eyes; a landscape sculpted by flowing liquid, just as the rain, rivers, and seas sculpt the surface of our planet.
Yet Titan's surface temperature is -180C, far too cold for liquid water to exist. Some other liquid was carving out the features on this moon.
To bring this story to life, the team from BBC Two's Wonders of the Solar System series spent long days poring over images, staring at endless vistas. Finally, they landed on the stunning Matanuska Glacier region of Alaska.
The series presenter Professor Brian Cox explains: "It's an immensely beautiful landscape but the important thing about this region is you can see how water, whether liquid or solid has sculpted the landscape - we were surrounded by landscape completely dominated by water.
"And on Titan you would see a landscape that is exactly the same. Yet it's not carved by water. It's too cold."
The reason sublime landscapes like the Matanuska Glacier exist is because of a delicate balance of temperature and pressure. Our planet is at just the right temperature and atmospheric pressure to allow water to exist as ice, liquid water, and water vapour.
Just as the conditions here allow water to exist in all three states, the conditions on Titan are perfectly balanced to allow methane to exist as a liquid, a solid and a gas.
On Titan, methane plays exactly the same role water plays here on Earth. Where we have clouds of water vapour, Titan has clouds of methane with methane rain.
Where we have lakes and oceans of water, Titan has lakes of methane.
Titan is the only place beyond Earth where we've found liquid pooling on the surface in enormous quantities, as big as the Caspian Sea. This moon is bathed in fuel.
Alaska was a perfect place to envision this bizarre moon. Craggy mountains covered in ice and snow, the brittle rugged surface of the glacier, rivers grinding away at pebbles and tranquil lakes. All have their twin on Titan.
"The best locations in the series really transport you to the wonders we are talking about. And Alaska was one of the best of them all, and one of the most beautiful places I have been," says Professor Cox.
Titan is a true wonder of the Solar System. It's like staring back in time four billion years and seeing the Earth as it was before life began.

A year-and-a-half ago, Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) asked Haitian-born actor, Jimmy Jean-Louis to be its Goodwill Ambassador for children. Jean-Louis, is perhaps best known for his role as the "Haitian" in the NBC hit series "Heroes". Independent, non-profit PADF has over 150 people all over Haiti working on projects such as protecting human rights, community-driven development and disaster relief. After January 12, PADF partnered with Hollywood Unites For Haiti, his own foundation.
As rewarding as the work has been, the actor is now on a personal mission to help rebuild the country where he was born and where he still has family. An emotional Jean-Louis talked about the devastation he saw after the January 12 earthquake and during his subsequent visits back to his homeland.
"Right after the earthquake it was that sense of - I was happy to go back to my parents, because they were there, when the earthquake took place," Jean-Louis explains. His parents' home is located in Tabarre, just outside Port-au-Prince. Jean-Louis says his family is doing "good...better" after the earthquake.
"My parents lost their house, my sister lost her house - pretty much everybody lost whatever they had in Haiti. But it's just material," Jean-Louis notes. "I think everybody is in that same state."
Jimmy Jean-Louis didn't lose any close relatives on January 12 but he did lose some distant relatives. And his house collapsed, killing a 28-year-old man who was living there. After telling the story, the actor pauses to contemplate the tragedy of a young life lost so suddenly - there's sadness in his eyes.
Although he lives a somewhat charmed, Hollywood life, Jimmy Jean-Louis says he always enjoys going back to Haiti - even now.
"What goes through my mind when I go back to Haiti? It's always joy regardless of the situation. Even with the earthquake it's one place where I feel complete," he says. "I just feel being myself whenever I'm in Haiti."
Jean-Louis just got back from Haiti. Accompanying him were Dominican-born actress Dania Ramirez who also stars in "Heroes" and former National Basketball Association player Cliff Robinson. Robinson played for the New Jersey Nets until 2007.
Jean-Louis says what he saw was very painful. He mentions the St. Louis de Gonzague neighborhood that has become a "huge" tent city. People are living in very tight quarters he says. The actor remembers thinking about those tent-dwellers while lying in bed at his home in Haiti on a rainy night. He says the area where the tent city is located is flat meaning a heavy rainfall floods their living quarters.
"It's heartbreaking to know that they're living under those conditions," an emotional Jean-Louis says. "Some of them don't even have any food the next day - or at least have some kind of ... comfort - so it's a really bad situation, it doesn't matter how you look at it. Now we have to find solutions."
Jimmy Jean-Louis hopes celebrities who travel to Haiti will keep the country in the news and on people's minds.
"Both of them [Dania Ramirez and Cliff Robinson] now are going to be able to reach out to a lot of people because they have a big network," Jean Louis says. Robinson has access to NBA fans while Ramirez also has many fans due to her appearance in the popular movie "X-Men".
But Jean-Louis hopes the involvement and visits by more Hollywood celebrities will keep attention on the country.
"If it's a question of having to do the effort without being pushed, they might not do it," he says. "[But] There are still a lot of people in Hollywood dedicated to the Haitian cause." Jean-Louis cites actor Sean Penn who has spent a lot of time inside Haiti helping to rebuild and provide humanitarian assistance. Penn established a private Haiti relief foundation with a U.S. businesswoman. He says movie director Paul Haggis has also taken many celebrities to Haiti during his visits. Among them: Josh Brolin, Diane Lane and Madeleine Stowe.
Asked whether he thinks the "Sustainable Haiti" conference discussion forums will have any impact in real terms on Haiti, the actor says he thinks change will happen. He also thinks it would be beneficial to organize a similar type of conference inside Haiti.
Stories on Haiti have significantly diminished in the press, more than two months after the devastating 7.0 earthquake. But Jimmy Jean-Louis hopes his effort as PADF ambassador and those pursued by his foundation, will make a difference.
"What I've been trying to do is keep that issue alive," he says. "We just have to keep reminding them, we have to. In America, in Asia, in Europe we have to keep Haiti on the map. We have to keep Haiti in the news, because otherwise we're not going to have the help that is necessary to do what we need to do to rebuild Haiti."
The actor says it will require money and constant attention and he's committed to making sure that happens.
Turkey rejects use of "genocide"
Roger Smith, a co-founder of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, says many Turks refuse to use the word 'genocide.'
"I worked with some Turkish scholars and these are people who would be considered liberals and so on - but even they really kind of shy away from using the word 'genocide.' They will talk about massacres - you lay all of these things out and they say yeah, yeah, yeah, this happened, okay - well no, I don't want to use that word. So there is this emotional antipathy to pronouncing what people now almost jokingly call the 'G' word," he said.
Smith says Turkey's position is difficult to sustain. "Turkey's persistent denial and inability to face, or unwillingness to face up to its history is very disruptive in all kinds of ways - in terms of international relations, in terms of its own internal politics - and it also prevents it from really recognizing how do you deal with minorities," he said.
Recently the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee passed a non-binding resolution recommending that President Barack Obama recognize the 1915 killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks as genocide.
Obama administration's position
The Obama administration opposed the resolution. After the measure passed, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the administration does not believe the full House of Representatives will or should vote on the resolution.
Turkey immediately recalled its ambassador to Ankara for consultations. And Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan indicated he might not attend a mid-April nuclear energy summit in Washington hosted by President Obama.
About 20 countries - including France, Canada, Russia, the Netherlands, Sweden - have recognized the Armenian massacre as genocide.
"What's startling is that two important countries have not recognized it - the United States, repeatedly, because of its alliance with Turkey, its strategic interest in the region, its need for Turkey as a NATO ally, in its war against Iraq, has not recognized it. And secondly Israel, even though itself, its people originally suffered a great holocaust - the great genocide of World War II - has not recognized it, again for strategic reasons, its connection with Turkey." said Ronald Suny with the University of Chicago.
Suny and others point out that President Obama has changed his position. "Every presidential candidate, including President Obama, when they were campaigning, stated declaratively, clearly, fervently that they would recognize the genocide. Once they take power, of course, then these strategic security interests come into play and historical decisions, the historical truths have to be put aside. It's sad, but that's the case," he said.
Many experts say the resolution by the House Foreign Affairs Committee puts President Obama in an awkward position. But many analysts also say that may be a temporary situation, because they don't expect the measure to be taken up by the full House of Representatives.

The mass killing of Armenians by Ottoman Turks beginning in 1915 remains an emotional issue. A major U.S. congressional panel has described the massacre as genocide. In this report from Washington, Senior Correspondent André de Nesnera looks at the ramifications of the congressional action for the Obama administration.A majority of scholars and historians agree that the massacre of an estimated one million Armenians during World War I constitutes genocide as defined by the 1948 United Nations Convention on Genocide. The text defines genocide as the intentional killing of all or part of a designated people defined by their faith, their race, their ethnicity or their nationality.
However as Ronald Suny with the University of Chicago explains, the Turkish government has a diametrically opposed view.
"Turkey rejects the notion of genocide - actually the word or the term 'genocide.' They have acknowledged that there were deportations - there is no question about that - and that there were massacres and killings. What they deny is that the massacres and killings were intentionally organized and carried out by the government - and that the killings were anything more than collateral damage," he said.
Washington, Mar 20 (PTI) The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) between Russia and the United States is near completion, the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said."We are nearly finished with the START treaty. I mean, as we are speaking today in Moscow, our negotiators in Geneva are wrapping-up the final elements of the START treaty and we hope to have a signing ceremony between President Medvedev and President Obama in early April," Clinton told the Bloomberg TV in an interview yesterday.
"But we don't have anything to say specifically about it until it is all completed. Missile defense is an issue that we are committed to," she said.
Kolkata, Mar 20 (PTI) In a major goof-up, an advertisement inserted in newspapers by the Eastern Railway showed Delhi in Pakistan and Kolkata in the Bay of Bengal.The advertisement was to announces inauguration of luxury tourist train 'Maharaja's Express' by Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee from here.
A small box inside the advertisement panel showed the train route from Kolkata to Delhi via Gaya, Varanasi, Bandhabgarh, Khajuraho, Agra and Gwalior.
As the faint background of the outline of a small map of India showed Kolkata in the Bay of Bengal and Delhi in Pakistan, ER Chief Public Relations Officer Samir Goswami said, "It is a great mistake. We apologise for this. The advertising agency has been suspended."
When contacted, owner of the advertising agency said the route alignment had been given for the benefit of passengers.
"The map and the alignment are an artist's impression and not to scale.
