CELEBRATING 15 YEARSOF SUCCESS

CAMPUS

The Muhammad bin Hamad Al

Thani Centre for Muslim Con-

tribution to Civilization (CMCC)

at the Qatar Faculty of Islamic

Studies, a college of Hamad bin Khali-

fa University (HBKU), will be participat-

ing in the London Book Fair for the first

time this year. The fair is scheduled to

take place from April 12 to April 14 in

Olympia, London, where the centre will

display its English publications under

its series “Great Books of Islamic Civi-

lization.”

Established with the aim of provid-

ing non-Arabic speakers with access

to scholarly works which underscore

the contributions Muslims have made

to human civilization, the CMCC has

translated a number of major works

by Muslim scholars, spanning the pe-

riod from the 1st to the 9th century AH

The “Great Books of Islamic Civilization”

series covers a wide range of subjects

such as law, theology, jurisprudence,

history and politics, literature, medi-

cine, astronomy, optics and geography.

These books are authoritative sources

in their fields, with each published by

the English publishing house, Garnet.

CMCC participated in a similar

book fair in October 2014 in Frankfurt,

Germany, at which D. Aisha Al Man-

nai (pictured), Director of the Cent-

er, spoke about “The Contribution of

Qatar in the Dialogue of Civilizations”.

CMCC’s series of translated texts has

generated a number of positive re-

views from the international commu-

nity, inspiring the Centre to consider

developing additional translations of

its books into French, Spanish, Ger-

man, and Chinese.

Dr Al Mannai commented: “I’m

proud to see the Muhammad bin Ha-

mad Al Thani Centre for Muslim Con-

tribution to Civilization participating

in the London Book Fair this year. The

Great Books of Islamic Civilization se-

ries highlights the contributions of Is-

lamic scholars to science and philoso-

phy and constitutes a whole library of

informative and enlightening Islamic

scholastic works.”

“In line with HBKU’s aim to culti-

vate knowledge, the centre seeks to

not only effectively translate the great

work of Muslims through history, but

to also bring the material to people

around the world, exposing them to

ideas of renowned Muslim scholars

that lay the foundation for the Euro-

pean Renaissance and greatly influ-

enced contemporary world civiliza-

tions.”

The books translated by the CMC-

Chave been successful in correcting a

number of misconceptions about Islam

and Muslim civilizations.

COVER STORY

04 | TUESDAY 12 APRIL 2016

Graduates of Qatar Foun-

dation’s Academic Bridge

Program (ABP) celebrated

the Academic Bridge Pro-

gram’s 15th Year of opera-

tion. The “Alumni Celebration of ABP’s

15th Year”was held outside the pro-

gram’s iconic Liberal Arts & Sciences

Building in Education City.

Over the past 15 years, ABP be-

come the premier English language

university foundation program in Qatar,

preparing over 2,600 young men and

women (over 80 percent of those have

been Qataris) for success in prominent

universities around the world. In fact,

nearly 90 percent of the ABP gradu-

ates succeed in enrolling in English lan-

guage universities in Qatar or abroad.

The ABP Alumni Reunion was not on-

ly a celebration of ABP graduates’ suc-

cesses and achievements over the past

15 years, but it was also a celebration of

ABP’s 15 Years of Bridging Success. Af-

ter opening comments by the ABP Di-

rector, Dr Bryan K Lewallen, and ABP’s

Assistant Director for Student Servic-

es Moza Al Boainain, a panel discussion

was held. The panel was made up of

five ABP graduates from the Classes of

2004, 2009, 2014 and 2015.

Representing ABP’s Class of 2004

on the panel was Dr Bothina Al Mul-

la, who went on to study at Weill Cor-

nell Medicine-Qatar (Class of 2011), and

then received a Master of Health Man-

agement in Strategic Management and

Leadership from City University of Lon-

don in 2014. Dr Al Mulla is currently an

Obstetrics and Gynecology doctor at

Sidra Medical and Research Center, Do-

ha.

Two graduates from the Class of

2009 were also on the panel, Abdulla

Jawad and Khalifa Al Qahtani. Both stud-

ied Human Resources at Utah Universi-

ty in the US. Jawad is currently working

as an HR Officer at Qatar Airways, and

Qahtani is an HR Coordinator at Qatar

Foundation.

On the panel, representing ABP’s

more recent graduates were Noor

Odeh, who graduated from the ABP in

2014 and is now studying Journalism at

Northwestern University in Qatar, and

Sara Eid, who graduated last year from

the ABP and is studying Computing and

Information Systems at Athabasca Uni-

versity in Canada. “We are proud to cele-

brate 15 years of building bridges of suc-

cess for our students in the Academic

Bridge Program and in achieving the vi-

sion of the ABP, which is to prepare out-

standing Qatari students, and other stu-

dents in the region, for admission to the

universities in Education City and in oth-

er distinguished universities worldwide,”

Al Boainain, Assistant Director for Stu-

dent Services said. “We are always striv-

ing to improve the services we provide

for our students, so that they are on a

par with new developments in the field

of education.

COVER STORY


The ABP alumni were reunited with their ABP classmates. They also met with ABP faculty and staff members and enjoyed traditional Qatari hospitality.

The ABP alumni were reunit-

ed with their former ABP classmates.

They also met with ABP faculty and

staff members and enjoyed tradition-

al Qatari hospitality. The celebrations

ran from 5pm to 8pm as large num-

bers of alumni from around the world

were welcomed back to the ABP and

caught up with each other over ka-

rak tea and Arabic coffee which was

served under a traditional Qatari tent.

Some of the guests were alumni who

have completed their university stud-

ies and joined the work force to pursue

their professional careers, while others

were students who are currently stud-

ying in universities such as the HBKU

partner universities, British universities,

and universities in Qatar such as Qatar

University.

“The ABP Alumni Night was a great

success,”stated Moza Al Boainain, ABP

Assistant Director for Student Services.

“During the reception, alumni shared

their stories at the ABP and how it

helped them to be good university stu-

dents. Alumni found it fun and exciting

to be reconnected to their friends and

teachers.”

Alumni Night has become an annu-

al ABP event, and is just another exam-

ple of the commitment of Qatar Foun-

dation (QF) to nurture a knowledge-

based economy in Qatar and to realize

the goal of “unlocking human poten-

tial.”

QF works to achieve this result by

offering educational opportunities

throughout the cycle of education. In

line with this mission, the ABP delivers

an important link in the complete edu-

cational progression provided by facil-

itating the transition from high school

to university. While students coming

up through the many Qatar Founda-

tion high schools have a strong aca-

demic base that allows them to suc-

cessfully enrol in one of the high-qual-

ity HBKU partner institutions, some

students benefit from an additional

year of development.

Those candidates, and others from

independent and private high schools

in Qatar, find the setting at the ABP to

augment their abilities and increase

their success at the next level.

For the past 15 years, the ABP has

not only developed the academic cur-

riculum, but has also built on its stu-

dent activities through the promotion

of leadership, social, recreational and

sporting events. In that time, ABP de-

veloped a Learning Resource Cent-

er (LRC) for tutoring students in math,

science, computers and English lan-

guage skills. The ABP also organizes

several training courses in IELTS and

ACT, and created “The English Room”

to help students enhance their English

language skills.

Students who perform well at the

ABP and meet basic university admis-

sion requirements have the opportuni-

ty to enter directly into the first year of

undergraduate programs at a number

of universities in the UK, North Amer-

ica, and throughout Europe. In addi-

tion, students interested in joining cer-

tain universities in Qatar may be giv-

en credit for courses they completed

at the ABP.

The ABP is now accepting on-

line applications (https://abp.openap-

ply.com)for admission for the 2016-

17 academic year. Information about

admission to the ABP may be found

at www.abp.edu.qa or by e-mailing

[email protected].

Canon Office Imaging Solutions opens in Doha

Canon Middle East, a leader in

imaging solutions, announced

the official inauguration of its

direct operation “Canon Office

Imaging Solutions — Doha” and the

launch of its first dedicated business

solutions showroom, achieving yet an-

other milestone in Qatar. This is the

first time a global technology brand

has set up a direct in-country presence

in Qatar.

The outlook for Qatar’s economy

is strong as the country’s strategy has

been to diversify into all major mar-

ket segments. The country’s growth is

expected to be 4.3 percent, making it

one of the most attractive Middle East-

ern nations.

The global giant’s decision to es-

tablish a direct presence in the Qatari

market in 2015 is testimony to Canon’s

vision and commitment to being clos-

er to its customers. The company was

established in partnership with Salam

Technology, Canon’s long-standing im-

aging solutions distribution partner in

Qatar,to further expand its offerings

across the Qatari market, whilst build-

ing on the established customer base

of Salam Technology.

Salam Technology’s strong lo-

cal presence and proven track-record

will ensure that Canon provides the

high quality, technologically advanced

products required across all industries.

Canon has been meeting custom-

ers’ demands in the country through

its direct presence and new and diver-

sified business offerings over the last

year and a half, building a success-

ful operation of 50 Canon employees

and a full-fledged service and support

team.

The opening of the showroom is in-

tended to further strengthen Canon Of-

fice Imaging Solutions’ Doha presence

in the region. With its first B2B show-

room in place, the company will con-

tinue to give Qatari customers the op-

portunity to receive direct advice on

products and services from Canon pro-

fessionals.

Europe, Anurag Agrawal, Managing Di-

rector, Canon Middle East, Wim Wynants,

Abu Issa, Member of the board of Direc-

tors of Salam International.

“Qatar has been a key market for us

and the establishment of Canon Office

Imaging Solutions (Doha) as a subsid-

iary of Canon Middle East to specially

cater to the market is reflective of our

commitment to this region. Qatar is the

world’s richest country per capita, with

the highest human development in

the Arab World. Today’s showroom in-

auguration is a testament of our com-

mitment towards further growing this

already robust economy,”said Stefano

Zenti, Executive Vice President, Canon

Europe.

“This showroom is designed to pro-

vide hands-on demonstrations of our

B2B services and solutions to existing

and new customers. It is also meant to

FOOD

By Cathy Barrow

The Washington Post

When I’m asked why I make

my own jam, pickles, or

cheese, the first reason

that comes to mind is: It’s

more delicious. But it’s also plain old

fun, and a little bit of magic.

The sleight of hand with which I

convert a bottle of milk into a round

of cheese never fails to thrill me. I cer-

tainly didn’t invent it; cheese has been

made in home kitchens for thousands

of years. Now that dairy-fresh milk,

pasteurised but not homogenised, is

more widely available, the DIY ap-

proach provides a chance to experi-

ence the difference in flavour and tex-

ture when cheese is free of stabilisers

and other additives.

Halloumi is categorised as a “semi-

hard” cheese; firmness is defined by

moisture content, which is further de-

termined by the temperature at which

the milk is cultured and at which the

cultured curds are cooked. A chewy

cheese that squeaks against the teeth,

halloumi can be marinated or fried or

grilled until crisped on the outside.

DIY halloumi

4 servings. Makes 1 semicircular

cheese (8 ounces), plus 2 to 3 table-

spoons anari (ricotta). Use only the best,

freshest milk for the best-tasting cheese.

Ingredients

1/8 teaspoon rennet (see head-note)

¼ cup filtered non-chlorinated water (see headnote)

½ gallon whole milk, pasteurised but not homogenized (often sold in glass bottles), or more as needed

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or 1/8 teaspoon citric acid

1 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt1 teaspoon dried mint and/or

dried parsley, or a combination (op-tional)

StepsCombine the rennet and filtered,

non-chlorinated water in liquid meas-

uring cup.

Pour the ½ gallon of milk into a

nonreactive pot (preferably 3-quart)

over medium-low heat; slowly bring

the temperature of the milk to 86 de-

grees, stirring occasionally. If its tem-

perature rises above 86 degrees, re-

move the pot from the heat as need-

ed to maintain the proper temperature.

Use a slotted spoon or skimmer to

incorporate the rennet solution by way

of an up-and-down motion (agitating).

Cover the pot, wrap it in a kitchen tow-

el and place it in a warm spot. If your

kitchen is particularly chilly, use a thick-

er bath towel; the goal is to maintain

warmth. Let it rest for 30 to 40 min-

utes (this is called culturing), until the

curd is firm.

Use the palette knife to slice into

the curd and pull it apart at the cut.

The cut should fill with the liquid in the

pot, now called whey. If the curds are

loose and wobbly, fall back into the

cut and look like scrambled eggs, cov-

er the pot again (still towel-wrapped);

check back in 10 minutes. Once the

curd is firm, make slices through the

entire curd top to bottom, moving the

palate knife across the pot in long lines

1 ½ inches apart. Turn the pot 90 de-

grees and slice again, forming a grid of

1 ½-inch squares.

Let the curds rest for 10 minutes,

then cut them again, this time hori-

zontally and in multiple layers, as many

times as needed to form small curds.

Stir gently, cover the pot and let the

curds rest (to tighten up) for 15 min-

utes.

Place the pot over low heat and

slowly stir the curds. They should have

firmed up even further and there

should be a good amount of whey, as

more will have come out of the curds.

Increase the heat slowly (to medium-

low) over 20 minutes so the whey’s

temperature reaches 105 degrees;

hold it there for 15 minutes, adjusting

the heat as needed and stirring occa-

sionally. The curds will start to look like

cottage cheese.

Place a folded kitchen towel or

draining mat in the bottom of a bak-

ing dish or other deep-sided container.

Use a strainer or skimmer to scoop out

the curds and place them in the bas-

ket mold, using the back of your hand

to gently press on the curds every time

you scoop. Fold the cheesecloth over

the top and add a light weight (a filled

can or jar, a bowl filled with pennies)

on top of the cheese to gently press

out the whey. This is a wobbly venture,

but some tactical efforts will pay off.

Let the cheese drain; every few min-

utes, flip the cheese over, placing it

back in the basket each time, replac-

ing the weight after each turn (3 total).

While the cheese is draining, bring

the pot of whey to 150 degrees (over

medium-low heat) and add the lemon

juice or citric acid. To increase the yield

of ricotta (called anari), you may wish

to add an additional cup of whole milk.

Continue slowly increasing the heat

to bring the whey to 190 degrees.

Small bits of cheese will rise to the sur-

face; this is the ricotta. Scoop the bits

out. (This will yield a few tablespoons

- enough to top breakfast toast and

drizzle with honey.)

Slide the pressed round of hallou-

mi cheese into the whey that remains,

which will be clear and slightly yellow.

The halloumi will sink to the bottom of

the pot. Let the halloumi heat in the

whey, maintaining the temperature at

190 degrees, until it floats to the sur-

face, at which point it is ready to be re-

moved. This will take 20 to 30 minutes.

Fill a large bowl with cool water. Use

a skimmer or strainer to transfer the

halloumi for a brief dunk in the water,

making the cheese just cool enough to

handle yet still warm and pliable. Flat-

ten the round to a thickness of about

¾ inch, making it 8 inches wide. Sprin-

kle each side with the salt and the

dried herbs, if using. Fold the cheese

in half to form a half-moon. Drain on

the mat for 1 hour.

Wrap the cheese well and store it

for 3 hours before serving; this will al-

low the salt to penetrate the cheese.

Halloumi is categorised as a “semi-hard” cheese; firmness is defined by moisture content, which is further determined by the temperature at which the milk is cultured and at which the cultured curds are cooked.

How to make Halloumi, the cheese that squeaks


FASHION

The Washington Post

Pant-like skirts known as skants

have become trendy, loosely

and elegantly draping over the

wearers’ shape. Colours like

white or pink would be just right for

the coming spring season.

Skants are even looser than gaucho

pants, which have been popular since

last year, and are considerably wider

around the thighs. They’re also called

“skircho,” a combination of “skirts” and

“gaucho pants.”

Spick and Span Noble, a brand

put out by the apparel manufac-

turer Frameworks, offers skants in

white, navy and pink for 14,000 yen

(about $123) plus tax. When wear-

ers’ legs are close together, the gar-

ments look like a skirt that reaches

a little below the knees.

“Skants are popular because they

resemble skirts, so they’re interest-

ing, but don’t look overly cute,” said PR

representative Miki Kobayashi.

Combining subdued pink skants

with a white blouse can create a fresh,

active look. Not-too-bright pinks are

trendy, according to Kobayashi. White

skants will look crisp with a striped

shirt, a look that’s also suitable for work.

“You can wear skants without wor-

rying about revealing your shape,”

Kobayashi said. “You can move more

easily in skants than in skirts, which

adds to their popularity.”

Online fashion retailer Lands’ End,

which also sells by mail-order and

telephone, has skants a little long-

er than knee length in beige and na-

vy for ¥7,900 plus tax. “Skants make

your hips much less conspicuous, and

the material is soft and comfortable,” a

Lands’ End employee said.

Uniqlo Co will also sell skants in two

different lengths. The legs are 50 per-

cent to 100 percent wider than those

of gaucho pants.

One is a little shorter than ankle

length, with drapes around the hip.

The item is available in five colours, in-

cluding navy, pink and beige. The gar-

ment sells for 2,990 yen plus tax.

The other type is longer and almost

covers the wearer’s shoes. Priced at

3,990 yen plus tax and available in four

colors, these skants are good for cas-

ual outfits.

“Wearing an upper garment and

skants in similar colours is very fashion-

able,” said Uniqlo publicist Mayo Tsu-

kamoto. Coordinating navy skants with

a navy cardigan, for example, looks

crisp, while tucking the bottom of a po-

lo shirt into skants makes the wearer’s

legs look long.

“Skants make for a looser look for

the bottom half of the body, so choose

slim upper garments,” Tsukamoto said.

“If you want to wear a loose upper gar-

ment, choose a short hip-length one.

Then the top and bottom will look well-

balanced.”

Skirts meet pants in Japanese fashion

Often when an elderly person

dies, the obituary notes that

death resulted from “compli-

cations of a fall.” Now, the im-

balance that causes older people to

fall has been linked to another conse-

quence: car crashes.

One solution? Take tai chi.

Older people who have fallen have

about a 40 percent greater risk of get-

ting into an automobile crash than

those who have not, according to a

study of existing research by the AAA

Foundation for Traffic Safety.

Just why isn’t entirely clear, but one

way to avoid chronic falling is to work

at maintaining balance through exer-

cise. Though the study mentions tai chi,

a martial art that emphasises balanced

movement, almost any regular form of

balancing exercise that gets people

out of the sedentary mode will help.

Among the best: Practice balancing

on one leg until you’re capable of do-

ing it with your eyes closed.

“That’s something you should do

your whole life. You need to have a bal-

ance routine in your programming that

includes eliminating the view from your

eyes,” said Brenda Shaeffer, a physical

therapist with a doctorate from Sim-

mons College in Boston.

The foundation’s research drew its

conclusions from a series of related

studies on falls and police accident re-

ports. The research adjusted for some

of the maladies of aging - losses in

muscle, vision and cognitive ability -

and concluded that the fall itself may

affect a driver’s functional abilities and

increase risk.

“Drivers age 60 and older are in-

volved in more than 400,000 crash-

es each year,” said Peter Kissinger, the

foundation’s president. “This research

is critical because it shows that we can

now use an older driver’s fall history to

identify if they are at greater risk for a

crash.”

The US population of people 65

years of age or older was 44.7 million

in 2013 and is projected to grow to 98

million by 2060.

When older people limit or elimi-

nate driving, they often become house-

bound unless they have access to pub-

lic transportation. The study says that

when people go into “driving retire-

ment,” it may lead to depression or

earlier institutionalization.

“Falls often scare people into being

less active, but decreasing physical ac-

tivity can weaken muscles and coordi-

nation and make someone more likely

to be in a crash, “said Jake Nelson, di-

rector of traffic safety and advocacy for

AAA. “Older drivers should find activi-

ties that enhance balance, strengthen

muscles and promote flexibility.”

He suggested a driver-improve-

ment course or a fitness program.

The AAA study said older people

should view falls as an early indicator

of declining physical fitness. Shaeffer

says there is more to it than that.

“Strength is not the issue,” she said

from her office in Annapolis. “Under-

stand the role your eyes play in elim-

inating the risk of falling. The vision

piece is actually huge on how your

muscles react.”

Shaeffer says the brain gets about

80 percent of its information on which

muscles should be used from the eyes.

“Your peripheral vision changes as

you get older. Even the amount of light

you take in changes, and you keep re-

referencing what that means,” she said.

“Dim light can create falls. Dim light cre-

ates lower reaction time to correct bal-

ance.”

The AAA study says that cataract

surgery has been show to reduce falls

and auto crashes. Shaeffer agrees, but

points to a difficult transition period

during the surgery process.

“Cataracts are really terrible because

people only get one cataract fixed at a

time,” she said, “so if you have been us-

ing your left eye because you can’t see

out of your right eye, and you go and

get your cataract fixed on the right, now

your good eye is your right, but you’ve

been telling your body to look out of

your left and everything’s twisted.”

Tai chi may balance wobbly drivers

“So if you have been using your left eye because you can’t see out of your right eye, and you go and get your cataract fixed on the right, now your good eye is your right, but you’ve been telling your body to look out of your left and everything’s twisted.’’

Embrace of the Serpent has

some of the most vivid imag-

es captured on film in recent

memory, and also some of the

most haunting. One moment a dy-

ing man is engulfed in a cloud of but-

terflies, and the next, a scarred, one-

armed slave is begging someone — an-

yone — to kill him. It isn’t easy to shake

off, with its thematic echoes of “Heart

of Darkness” and its brutal, beautiful

Amazonian jungle setting.

The Colombian movie, which was

nominated for a foreign-language

Academy Award, takes its time telling

two stories, which unfold, in parallel, 30

years apart. In 1909, a deathly ill Ger-

man ethnologist is escorted by his as-

sistant to a shaman, who lives alone in

the forest. The sickly, aged Theo (Jan

Bijvoet) and his indigenous companion,

Manduca (Yauenkü Migue), want Ka-

ramakate (Nilbio Torres) to help them

find yakruna, a sacred plant with heal-

ing properties and psychedelic side ef-

fects.

At first Karamakate refuses. He

doesn’t trust white men, and who

could blame him? Rubber profiteers

and missionaries have ravaged his

home and wiped out or enslaved his

people. But after Theo promises to

take Karamakate to his kinsmen — a

tribe the shaman thought had been

exterminated — the men strike a deal.

The three set out together on the river,

paddling through the jungle in search

of their individual salvations.

Decades later, an older Karamakate

(Antonio Bolivar) is once again visited

by a white man. Evan (Brionne Davis)

is a young American who has devot-

ed his life to studying rare plants. Us-

ing Theo’s diary from decades earlier

as a manual, Evan also is searching for

yakruna. The old man’s memory has

faded, and he can’t quite recall where

to go. But he tags along with Evan an-

yway, snaking his way down the river,

guided by dreams, myths and the mys-

tical voices of his ancestors.

Directed by Ciro Guerra, Serpent

was filmed in a remote area of Colom-

bia and shot in black and white — with

one exception during the finale — us-

ing mostly non-professional actors

(although you’d never know it). You’ll

be too distracted by David Gallego’s

showstopping cinematography, which

delivers one indelible image after an-

other.

Like Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Dark-

ness (and the movie it inspired, Apoc-

alypse Now), the drama examines the

idea of progress and what it means to

be civilized. Some of the most disturb-

ing scenes take place at a mission that

Karamakate visits during both chap-

ters of the story. On the earlier trip, the

place is run by a brutal Spanish priest

who takes in orphans. A plaque at the

mission heralds the spot where Cath-

olic men converted the region’s “sav-

age cannibals.” Years later, the mission

has become the domain of a cult lead-

er who thinks he’s Jesus and encour-

ages self-flagellation and ritual suicide.

Progress sure looks dismal.

And yet Embrace of the Serpent

isn’t a heavy-handed movie with a

moral so much as a surreal and trans-

porting parable, told from the perspec-

tive of one tribe’s last standard bearer.

The movie was inspired by the travel

journals of ethnologist Theodor Koch-

Grunberg and biologist Richard Evans

Schultes, which shed light on Amazo-

nian cultures that history might have

otherwise forgotten.

Guerra dedicates the movie to the

other indigenous people - the ones we

know nothing about. Their customs

and cultures might have disappeared,

but the director does them justice all

the same, with a brilliant, atmospheric

reimagining of one man’s rich and re-

markable life.

Three and a half stars. Unrated.

Contains nudity, violence against chil-

dren, drug use and disturbing images.

In Spanish, Portuguese, German, Cat-

alan, Latin and indigenous Amazonian

languages with subtitles. 125 minutes.

With global players explor-

ing India as a talent pool

for animation content

and Indian filmmakers

looking out for subjects with a “broad

mass appeal”, there’s a huge potential

for the growth of the animation world

in the country, says US-based Avneet

Kaur, who has lent her creative touch

to Hollywood entertainers like Tangled,

Frozen and Zootopia.

“The animation industry is definite-

ly evolving in India. It has witnessed

unprecedented growth rates in recent

times,” Kaur said in an email interview

from Los Angeles.

Her statement is well supported

by the fact that India’s animation in-

dustry generated revenues to the tune

of Rs.51.1 billion in 2015, marking a

growth rate of 13.8 percent, according

to a FICCI-KPMG report.

Kaur, who is a simulation technical

director at Walt Disney Animation Stu-

dios, said: “Over the last decade, it has

seen the entry of many global studi-

os who have tapped into India’s talent

pool.

“Additionally, leading Indian produc-

tion houses like Tata and Reliance are

now investing in the animation market

and collaborating with Indian filmmak-

ers to make animated features that

have broad mass appeal and entertain

their local audiences.

“I believe that this industry has huge

business potential in India and is be-

ginning to scale new heights.”

India is said to have nearly 300 ani-

mation, 40 visual effects and 85 game

development studios with over 15,000

professionals working for them, and

these cater to not just the movie world

but also to small screen content for

children and regional platforms.

Kaur says it is Bollywood that

taught her to dream big, and her love

for films made her walk on the anima-

tion path to reach the world of Holly-

wood.

Having worked on films like “Bolt”,

“Wreck-It Ralph” and “Feast”, would she

want to try her hand at an animation

project in Bollywood?

“May be some time in the future if

the correct opportunity arises. It will

be a homecoming, for my work,” said

Kaur, who after spending her grow-

ing up years in New Delhi and pursu-

ing Bachelor of Architecture (B. Arch)

from the Birla Institute of Technolo-

gy, India, took a foreign detour as she

did her M S Visualisation Sciences from

Texas A&M University, US.

While the cinematic world at large

continues to paint a picture of India

as a place with a mysterious, magical

and enchanting quality, Kaur believes

people in the west define India as a

“strong, modern and forward-thinking

nation” which is in touch with its cul-

ture and history.

“India is a potpourri of diverse cul-

tures. Growing up in so many different

cities, each with its unique and diverse

traditions, our family always had more

festivals and occasions to celebrate.

“Bollywood taught me to dream

big, and my family and friends taught

me the essence of life, and kept me

grounded. I am so grateful for every-

thing I have learnt growing up in In-

dia.”

She added that she always “loved to

draw as a kid”, and her parents encour-

aged her passion for the arts. Then she

landed in Hollywood enthused with

her love for films of all kinds.

Kaur asserted: “Having a job of

making movies was the best thing

that could have happened to me and

what better place to do this at, than

Walt Disney Animation Studios. I was

offered a job at this magical place in

2005, and since then this is my sec-

ond home.”

She joined the team of Zootopia, a

film which brings the world of animals

alive on the silver screen, when it was

in early production, and worked as a

character simulation technical direc-

tor on it. Her next tryst with anima-

tion is Disney’s musical adventure film

Moana.

Huge potential for Indian animation: Expert

World cinema is evolving: GulshanBollywood’s ‘bad man’ Gulshan Grov-

er, who is exploring international

showbiz nowadays, says that world cin-

ema is “really evolving”.

“I am doing a Malaysian, Australian

and Italian film and I feel world cin-

ema is really evolving, because it also

talks about different cultures and has

some amazing content. Working in dif-

ferent kinds of films teaches you a lot,”

Gulshan said.

He is currently busy promoting his

web movie Badman, a comic caper

wherein Gulshan relaunches himself in

the Indian film industry, but this time as

a hero. “This is something new for me as

well. I am exploring something new and

I feel it’s time to evolve. But nobody can

say how it will unfold in years to come...

We will get a better picture about web

series and web movies,” he said.

“Badman” is co-written by Soumik

Sen, who is also the film’s director, and

comedian Anubhav Pal.

The Washington Post

They tuned in by the tens of

thousands, crowding around

their screens the way residents

of the Florida Space Coast once

jammed the beaches to witness rocket

launches at the dawn of the Space Age.

But the audience watching

SpaceX’s live web broadcast of its

launch from Cape Canaveral on Friday

was treated to a show that until just

a few years ago was widely discount-

ed as impossible - the vertical landing

of the Falcon 9 rocket, which used its

engine thrust to slow down and touch

softly on a boat in the Atlantic Ocean.

On Sunday morning, SpaceX’s

Dragon spacecraft caught up to the

International Space Station. Flying at

17,500 mph, the spacecraft pulled up

alongside the orbiting laboratory, and

at 7:23 a.m., European astronaut Tim

Peake grabbed it using a robotic arm.

“It looks like we caught a Dragon,”

he said. While the main mission was to

deliver food and cargo to the station, it

was the landing at sea that was hailed

as a breakthrough.

President Barack Obama, whose

administration followed through with

controversial plans to retire the space

shuttle and contract out missions to the

space station, tweeted his congratula-

tions. And employees at SpaceX, which

earlier had made four unsuccessful sea

landing attempts, went wild, thrilled at

pulling off yet another feat.

Buzz Aldrin cheered on SpaceX. So

did Lori Garver, a former NASA dep-

uty administrator who helped spear-

head the effort within the agency to

help stand up a new commercial space

industry by awarding lucrative con-

tracts to help companies develop their

spacecraft.

They understood the significance of

the landing for the commercial space

industry: that being able to recover

rockets - instead of discarding them in-

to the sea, as was the practice for dec-

ades - could help to dramatically lower

the cost of spaceflight and eventually

open it up to the masses. In December,

SpaceX landed its first stage on a land-

ing pad it had built at Cape Canaveral.

But this time, the event - and that

extra bit of daring by landing it on a

boat - reverberated well beyond the

space community. Actress Mia Farrow

and director Jon Favreau tweeted their

congrats. On her MSNBC broadcast,

Rachel Maddow started off the seg-

ment by saying, “So here’s an incred-

ible thing that happened today. You

just kind of have to see it. It’s amazing.”

Other journalists were publicly root-

ing for the achievement, just as Wal-

ter Cronkite did while watching John

Glenn become the first American to

orbit the Earth in 1962. “Go, baby!” he

cheered during the CBS broadcast, as

the rocket soared into the sky.

Years later, he would say he

“dropped my impartiality for a moment.

Well, it just burst out.”

The launch to the space station was

SpaceX’s first since its Falcon 9 rocket

blew in June. While the company in-

vestigated the failure, its rockets were

grounded for months. Now it has a lot

of catching up to do to work through

a backlog of commercial and govern-

ment launch orders. At a news confer-

ence after the launch on Friday, CEO

Elon Musk said SpaceX plans to launch

every two to three weeks later in the

year.

And it will continue to try to perfect

the art of the first-stage landing, either

on the drone ship, as it calls its auton-

omous boat, or at its landing zone on

the cape.

“We’ll be successful, ironically, when

it becomes boring,” Musk said. “When

it’s like, ‘Oh, yeah, another landing. No

news there.’ “

Later this year, SpaceX also plans

to fly its newest rocket, the Falcon

Heavy, which would have 27 engines,

or three times as many as the Falcon 9.

But Musk’s main goal is to fly to Mars.

And later this year, he plans to provide

some details on the space vehicles that

would ultimately take humans there.

Along with Boeing, SpaceX has a

NASA contract to fly astronauts to the

space station. First flights are sched-

uled for next year. If successful, those

flights would represent an even great-

er achievement: the first manned mis-

sions to space from US soil since the

space shuttle was retired in 2011.

landing means
