AN ARTIST OF AFGHAN NATIONALITY Posted 2/27/2008 8:17:03 AM Safdar Tawakoli "The Father of Dambura" Safdar Tawakoli holds a unique place in the history of Afghan music in general and Hazaragi music in particular. He is the iconic "dambura player" of his generation, and is known for his unique style of regional traditional music. Safdar has not only been popular among listeners in his own generation but has also inspired the younger generation, who are more than interested in learning his instrument and memorizing his lyrics. Safdar Tawakoli was born in 1942 in the Yakawlang district of Bamiyan to a family of moderate means. His interest in music was nurtured during his youth, but he had to overcome the conservative tradition and religious restrictions of his local culture. Despite these, he pursued his field of interest and became a devoted artist. He always admired and in some cases envied the popularity of national singers; he mastered the "dambura", a regional long necked stringed instrument popular among the Hazaras of central Afghanistan. In pursuit of a career in music he left Bamiyan to run a music store in Kabul that sold cassettes. It was his hard work and talent that led him ito the studios of Radil Kabul and Afghanistan's National Television, where he did countless number of shows and sung hundreds of songs. Safdar Tawakuli became a household name in regions and the number of his listeners increased. He became an iconic singer and was awarded with several awards and honorary medals. He represented Afghan Music in several countries of which Mongolia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Qirghizistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan and Iran are some. He headed the Musical group of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs of Afghanistan from 1986 to 1995 for eleven consecutive years. Like everything else Safdar Tawakoli's artistry fell victim to civil war during which he lost his career, his home, his beloved son but he never lost and shall never lose his fame. He stayed in Afghanistan in extreme conditions; even during the time of the Taliban when his life was in grieve danger. Safdar is an artist of heart. He never tried to become rich, he never lost himself during the height of his fame and led the simple of lives. Like majority of other artists, he too has remained ignored. (0) Comments

AIDS Posted 2/26/2008 6:37:11 PM HIV Can Never Be Cured According to Iran Daily, published daily in Tehran. Dated: Monday February 18, 2008: Even the best drugs currently available cannot weed out HIV from all of its hiding places within the body according to a new study of HIV patients in the United States. The discovery seems to confirm doctors' suspicions that once the virus gains a foothold, it can never be fully eradicated from the body, according to LiveScience. After years of aggressive drug treatment, the virus still hides out in significant reservoirs, particularly in tissues surro0unding the gut lining, the researchers report. Cells in these tissues, a part of the immune system called 'gut associated lymphoid tissue', remain patient may be leading an apparently healthy life. Many HIV patients can manage their infection with a cocktail of drugs called antiretroviral therapies (ARTs). These can reduce their 'viral load' – the amount of virus circulating in the blood plasma – to undetectable levels. But the new study shows that even in such 'non-infectious' patients the virus is still lurking in gut tissues, and still infecting other immune cells in the blood. "It might not ever be possible to completely eradicate the virus from the body, even though people are doing well," says Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Bethesda, however, that this doesn’t mean that patients will be more likely than previously thought to pass on the virus to others. The finding underlines HIV's status as an 'incurable' infection, although in many cases doctors are able to stave off the onset of full-blown AIDS by giving patients sustained courses of drugs. Indeed, so effective are current drugs that most say HIV should now be seen as a chronic disease requiring lifelong management, in the same way as diabetes or chronic hypertension. "It's not a death sentence," says Deenan Pillay of University College London, an expert on antiviral treatments. (0) Comments
