Dear Students,

Which one do you think is better?

To dream and have the courage to put yourself out there, test

your limits and see if you can make your dreams come true?

Or to dream, while sitting still, thinking of all the obstacles

and limitations that stand between you and your dream,

forever blaming external factors that are crushing your

spirit?

The second option is the easy way out, the option many

chose to take as it shifts responsibility onto others. But let

us take a closer look, not at ourselves, but at the mirrors of

those we admire in life.

Who are they?

Would you not agree with me when I say that they are the ones who do not give up?

The ones who, regardless of obstacles and hurdles, have had the courage and determination

to make their dreams come true.

May you always have the courage, strength and patience to see your dreams come to life.

Till next issue,

Zeina Mokaddam

No, because in my opinion, democracy works best when the public is educated as each individual will understand why certain events occur and they should behave when it does.

Yes, it depends, some people are after culture stability and other after economical development.

FOR THIS MONTH, STUDENTALK visited the campuses of Kuwait’s university and asked the students about the educational level in relation to having an applied democratic system.

IF DEMOCRACY IS THE RULE OF THE MAJORITY, AND A MAJORITY IN A CERTAIN COUNTRY IS UNEDUCATED, SHOULD THE DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM BE APPLIED IN THAT COUNTRY?

54% No

46% Yes

اتخذت الطالبة دانة الغامن )19عامًا( تخصص تسويق يف

اجلامعة األمريكية، من التطوع مبدأ أساسيًا يف حياتها ملساعدة

احملتاجني، ليس فقط يف الكويت بل يف خمتلف أنحاء العامل. وألنها نشأت يف عائلة جبلت على عمل اخلري خاصة أن والدها قام بعدة

سفرات إىل أفريقيا ملساعدة احملتاجني يف تلك البالد، اختارت

نفس الطريق وقررت مشاركة وفد الهيئة اخلريية اإلسالمية العاملية ملتابعة شؤون الالجئني السوريني

يف خميم الزعرتي يف األردن. لذلك اختارت STUDENTALK هذا العدد

الطالبة دانة الغامن لتتحدث عن جتربتها اإلنسانية.

أبرز مشاريع واجنازات فريق الهيئة اخلرييةملساعدة السوريني

20 جهاز كمبيوتر • جتهيز لتدريب وتأهيل الالجئني.

• تأجري وتأثيث جممع للجرحى تستوعب 100 جريح.

3 عمارات لزوجات • تأجري وتأثيث الشهداء واملفقودين.

• جتهيز مركز التاج إلنتاج املأكوالت املنزلية.

• جتهيز مشغل خياطة املالبس لالجئني.

ما هو العمل التطوعي من وجهة نظرك؟

التطوع بصفة عامة، هو أن يقوم الشخص بعمل إنساين دون انتظار مقابل وبهدف

خدمة اجملتمع واآلخرين ومن أهم الوسائل املستخدمة بهدف تنمية األوطان.

ملاذا اخرتت املشاركة مع وفد الهيئة اخلريية اإلسالمية؟

منذ عام 2006 وأنا متطوعة يف مركز اخلرايف ألنشطة أطفال املعاقني، وعن

طريق الصدفة قرأت عن طلب الهيئة اخلريية اإلسالمية العاملية لوفد متطوع للسفر

إىل األردن وزيارة خميم الالجئني السوريني، وقررت التواصل معهم واملشاركة.

كيف أثرت الرحلة على حياتك اخلاصة؟

استمرت الزيارة لالجئني السوريني يف االردن ملدة أربعة أيام يف عيد األضحى حيث حاولنا رسم البسمة على وجوه األطفال وأسرهم

وتأمني الكسوة لهم وبعض املستلزمات الضرورية. ومنذ اليوم األول شعرت بقيمة احلياة التي أعيشها، وشعرت بحزن على

معاناة هذا الشعب ومن خالل ذلك تغريت نظرتي للحياة. وبعد اعتقادي أن اجلامعة

والسيارة والسفر من متطلبات احلياة األساسية ألي انسان تأكدت من أن هناك فئة

كبرية ال متتلك أبسط حقوقها يف احلياة.

ما هي أكرث اللحظات التي تأثرت بها خالل زيارتك؟

مشاهدتي لألطفال الصغار يف زيارتنا خمليم الزعرتي وليس لديهم أي مالبس

خاصة يف فصل الشتاء، كما أن عدد منهم ليس لديهم أحذية وأسرة، شعرت وقتها

باحلزن ولكن قررت مواصلة العمل التطوعي ومساعدتهم بشتى الطرق.

فضاًل عن القصص الصعبة التي حتدث عنها اجلرحى ومعاناتهم، وزوجات الشهداء

واملفقودين، جميعها مواقف ال تنسى.

ما هي الرسالة التي ترغبني بتوجييها إىل الطلبة؟

قبل زيارتي خمليم الزعرتي مل أكن أعلم القيمة احلقيقية لألموال، ولكن بعد الزيارة

تأكدت من أن مبلغًا بسيطًا وإن كان دينار سيساعد عائالت على تأمني لقمة العيش.

هل هناك مشاريع مستقبلية لعملك التطوعي؟

أسعى حاليًا لتخصيص ركن يف حرم اجلامعة األمريكية الهدف منه مساعدة احملتاجني

من الالجئني السوريني.

بصمة العمل التطوعييف حياة الطلبة

دانة الغامن: زيارة الالجئني السوريني يف

خميم الزعرتي غريت حياتي

حياة الطلبة

كلمة أخرية.

لن تشعر بقيمة العمل التطوعي واخلدمة اإلنسانية التي تقدمها لآلخر إال من خالل

التواصل معهم بشكل مباشر، ورسم البسمة على وجوه أطفال سلبت احلروب

منهم أبسط حقوقهم مشاعر ال تقدر بثمن، لذلك أدعو كل شخص قادر على املساعدة

املادية أو املعنوية أن يقوم باخلطوة الالزمة.

STUDENT LIFE

One of the youngest motor-racers in the region, Zaid Ashkanani, doesn’t wait to impress. He amazed everyone in his first race in the Porsche GT3 Cup in Bahrain, where he won four Cups in two days. An ambitious sportsman who aims at further glorifying Kuwait’s name on the motor-racing map, and hopefully one day as a Formula 1 driver.

LIVING LIFE THEFAST WAY, WITH

ZAID ASHKANANI ONE RACE AT A TIME

When did you startmotor-racing?

This is my first year of professional racing. I started karting in my teens

How many hours do you practice daily?

I do not practice daily as we do not have a professional circuit in Kuwait, so we try and go to the Bahrain International Circuit as often as possible. I hope we do bring the standard of our circuits to the same level as the Dubai Autodrome, Reem International and Losail International Circuit so we attract more interest in the sport.It is also important for me to get as much track time as possible to develop my skills and try various strategies before a race weekend or during the off-season.

How does it feel being the youngest one from GCC?

It is an amazing feeling. I am very fortunate that I have been exposed to the motorsport environment at such a young age thanks to the backing from my family and especially my father, who was also a professional racing driver.

Having the opportunity to participate in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East is also very special. Taking part in the championship will give me the experience that I need, to develop them and also learn from world-class drivers such as Abdulaziz AlFaisal and Karim Al-Azhari. Drivers who have the knowledge and experience that I can learn from. I may be one of the youngest on the grid, but when the green lights go, age does not matter. It is every driver for himself.

Do you have any support?

My father has always encouraged me and helped me develop my craft. He has been unbelievable with the backing he has given me from my days in karting through to my involvement with Porsche. He is by my side at every race, encouraging and guiding me. He has been in similar situations as me, when he was a racing driver, so he knows the emotions I am going through pre-race and post-race. I also have a fantastic team at the Porsche GT3 Cup. The people who do not get the glory, the mechanics and the technical team do a tremendous job before each race to ensure the GT3 Cup Car is in racing condition. We, the drivers, may get

the limelight, but behind every great driver, there is a great team.Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East manager, Walter Lechner has taken me under his wings in my first season of racing. He has been there and done it all in his racing career, that’s why his advice is valuable. I have learned a lot from him in the first six rounds. And I hope the whole of Kuwait is also supporting me through my journey in motorsport. I want to represent my country with honour and distinction and make my country proud.

What is your future career with this sport?

I intend to have a long and successful career in the sport and continue to learn. Obviously the ultimate goal is Formula One, and that is everyone’s dream, but I need to take it step-by-step. My intention is to compete in future Porsche GT3 championships and hopefully move onto Formula 3 and continue to raise the bar and compete in higher tiers of motorsport.

You have been called “the future poster boy of motor-racing in the region and expect great things from him for years to come”, how could you accomplish that?

To continue the work I am doing. Work hard and push myself to be the best I can be. I believe that in life, what you give is what you get. I have a strong backing from my

father, who also pushes me to work harder, whether that is in training, practice, qualifying or during a race. He will make sure I make the most of my ability. Having talent is one thing, but you need to nurture that ability and work hard to make sure that gift is fulfilled. I want to become a standard bearer for the region and hopefully through my success it will encourage other youngsters to take up the sport. In professional sport, there are a lot of responsibilities, and if I am the “poster boy”, I want to become a role model for youngsters in Kuwait and throughout the region.

Do you have any future plans for motor-racing in Kuwait?

My dream is to have a professional race series in Kuwait. Unfortunately, our race tracks are not up to standards. It would be a huge honour for me to race in my home country, in front of my home fans.But in the meantime, my plans are to get as much experience as possible on regional circuits.

Last words to students who have talents and they are not evolving it?

Do not waste the God-given talent. You only live once, so use your gift, work hard, there is no limit to what you can do. Make the most of what you have, there are no boundaries, use your talent to help others or make a success of your life. There are no barriers in life, the only barrier is yourself.

STUDENT LIFE

Carol Ross arrived to Kuwait in April 2004, and has been serving her beloved AUK ever since! As being abroad is not something new to her, she moved from Southern California, where she grew up, in 1980 with her parents to Europe until 1987. STUDENTALK has met with Dr. Ross to shed some light on AUK(and Carol as a person)

Carol Ross:VP of Student Affairs, Mother of AUK Students

Can you introduce yourself?

I’m Carol Ross, Vice President of Student Affairs. I completed my bachelor’s degree in business and management; master’s in human services and human resources education-both while overseas, and earned my doctorate degree in higher education administration from Florida State University. Prior to joining AUK, I served as a chief student affairs officer in community colleges since 1993. Those are my formal credentials for interviews! The real me (since this is STUDENTALK)…I play softball for the KIPCO Kuwait Ladies-a champions’ team! Love to shop and travel. I have a daughter who is about to begin medical school who wouldn’t listen to her mother’s advice about college even though this is my job! Got the cutest grandson in the world, no matter what other grandparents may think. I also have the most adorable dog, named Scottie-a namesake for someone dear to my heart, and I love to giggle as life is too short to be miserable!

What approach do you use in dealing with students that come to you with their problems?

Certainly not a cookie-cutter approach. Every student is an individual with unique characteristics. Problems may sound the same but how you deal with them is defined by whoever is seated in front of you. I listen. I listen through the tears, frustration, the less-than-truthful parts, and the excitement. I listen without passing judgment; my biases cannot interfere. Then we try to work it through. Even if it means the “answer” they want isn’t the answer I give…they know I have listened, giving my full attention, really trying to address and resolve the issue. It is very important to me that students “feel better” when they leave my office. I wish every meeting resulted in a happy ending but that isn’t reality. When that ending is not happy, students know they have been heard and treated fairly.

What are the non-academic activities you host on campus? Can you tell us a little bit about each and how they have benefited students?

Student Life is responsible for bringing the university community to life. From clubs and organizations to student government and leadership opportunities that are designed to develop leadership skills; to intramurals and intercollegiate athletics (we plan to keep the University Champions Cup!) intended to enhance wellness and esprit de corps, to holiday and cultural celebrations where we celebrate

and appreciate diversity and life, through to The Voice, the student-run newspaper where students get to speak up and speak out. Our philosophy is that what happens outside of the classroom is almost as important as what happens inside. Activities are designed to supplement the classroom learning process and make college more exciting. We celebrate diversity during International Week, we play sports to enhance physical wellness, hone competitive skills and learn how to win and lose gracefully. When students leave AUK and venture into the real world, the ability to plan, organize and relate to others is very important. Our activities provide a venue for students to practice real life transferable skills. Sometimes students think they cannot do one more thing beyond their classes.However, it is so important that they do.

Will you be introducingnew student activitiesor facilities to AUK?Regarding new facilities, we at AUK know bigger isn’t always better. We have a great campus and an amazing student life. AUK doesn’t miss many opportunities to enjoy life! Student Life will build on current programs as they are pretty comprehensive. We recently initiated the “Refuse to be Ordinary” Volunteer Program where students give with their hands. Beach clean-ups, animal shelter help, time at Operation Hope and KAACH… it is hands-on. There is an American saying and I am sure there is an Arabic equivalent, “to whom much is given, much is to be returned.” At AUK, our students will be reaching out and returning a lot more with their hands.

Something else that is pretty exciting is the “passport” program for the College Success Skills “EDUC” classes. Because AUK really values the out of classroom experience, “EDUC” students are required to participate in activities and get their passport stamped. The passport requirement forces (students hate that concept of being forced!) students to participate in activities, whether it be a lecture, club event, university activity…they go beyond the classroom and experience college life. Many of the students are thankful afterwards and stay engaged!

What student culture and atmosphere does AUK offer, compared to other universities?

I am incredibly biased when it comes to AUK in comparison to other universities (no disrespect intended) because I believe that AUK is, and offers, something very special. All universities offer college degrees; that is why we are in this business. AUK has heart; we are a family…the Wolf Pack family. Within our walls, students can be themselves. AUK is a place where you can ponder the big questions of life and try to figure out where you fit in. I love welcoming new students to AUK because I know the significance the AUK experience will have on their lives in four or five years. I get excited because I know people at AUK are committed to ensuring that students become the best they can be. We are going to hold students accountable for their actions or lack thereof but if they fall, we’ve got stretchers! If they want to propel, we boost. Life at AUK has one of those invisible, intangible things happening. You cannot quite put your finger on it but you surely know it is there. And when it is time for graduation, you see it in our students…they are well on their way to becoming. It is such an amazing feeling to see the success in our students.

What kind of academic and personal support does AUK offer to its students? Are there specific centers/departments that handle student advising matters?

There is support for students from two vantage points. All students are required to see an academic advisor whose role is to assist the student with developing a sound educational plan so they can make progress towards the degree. Students at risk receive individualized attention and support. We also have a very strong tutoring and supplemental instruction program. Bright students help those in need; that’s the Wolf Pack way.

The second component of support comes from the personal counselors. We offer confidential, personal counseling to students. Our therapists address a variety of issues from stress related to relationship to disability and more. Sometimes, students just need to talk or they need someone to help them identify coping strategies…this is about preparing for life. Remember, the goal is for students to be able to engage in the learning process with minimal distractions. The Career Services and Wellness Department is responsible for ensuring our students are emotionally ready and grounded enough to experience AUK life!

In a Liberal Arts American institute with a majority of Kuwaiti students, how do you maintain a cultural balance in campus life and student activities?

It is about maintaining a cultural balance and respect for all members of the AUK family. The liberal arts American model is really a mindset of how our curriculum is developed

and how students are engaged in learning. Oftentimes when people think about American colleges, they think wild partying and crazy weekends. That is especially true when you attach the word “liberal” to American university. Liberal for me means that students learn to think;they understand that freedom of thought and expression comes with a sense of responsibility; that they are willing to view from a variety ofperspectives and not just their own. Of course there are activities in American colleges that we do not do because of the cultural norms but it does not mean that AUK isboring. We have a very lively and vibrant campus.

Is there anything interesting that you have learned about the students of AUK across the years?

Since my first job in higher education and throughout my years of experience in the US and Kuwait, I have found that students are students are students. That to me is the most interesting. Different continent, different first language,

but a student. People might say, well Kuwaiti students are rich. To that I say… not everyone, and I worked at a University where there were many students of privilege…same issues! There are students who really want to be in college and make the best of the opportunity. They will study, be involved in everything, and just be college-fab! There are students who are in college because there is nothing else to do and their parents say, ‹you better do something.› There are students who come to college and find something within themselves they never knew was there and excel. You find it no matter the country, the culture, the college. There are good, bad and indifferent students everywhere. What makes AUK so special is that we strive to maximize the good, minimize the bad and make the indifferent unique.

STUDENTALK, the magazine for all students in Kuwait, believes in the creativity of students. Our motto is Read Them Talk. Have you got something to say? Submit your creative work (writing, scripts, poems, drawings, etc) to us at STUDENTALK. Express your thoughts and ideas. Email us your work [email protected]

READ THEM TALK

Since I cannot prevent the maturing of my inner self, I shall embrace it with a smile on my face. Yet I shan’t be as those others.

Others who tend to change all their childhood actions and beliefs,just for the sake of fitting in with those of the same age.

For I have a different perspective on growing up. One that does not involve having to add eloquence to every word I speak.

Or erasing all traces of humor I once had. But more of being able to experience more independence in my everyday life.

We are judged by the surface. Like a book and its cover.Think you know it from the pictures? Without seeing anything other?

This is how everyone thinks, even if they know it not.Our shallow subconscious beneath, doesn’t give a second thought.

So I speak to you now, so you’ll know you’re not alone.Don’t you go around being sad, just go to your happy zone.

‘Cause to be assessed by more than looks, one can only dream.For society now a days decides by ONLY what is seen.

Lonely and old, I stand today Deserted and forgottenMy importance to you- to my dismay, Has faded and has darkened

To you our past is nothing lessThan another page in your bookThough the pain I suffer and must suppress Would fade if you just take one look.

Along with me your true self has gone Now you’re a person who smiles at pelf.

But get it back, and then you’ve wonThe challenge between you and yourself.

Still when your mature self is feeling blue,Just look under your bedFor here I am only for youCause I am your loyal Ted

What Is Seen Maturing Ted

STUDENT LIFE

And comprehending situations in a mature manner, along with a logical reaction.As not to be misunderstood, I shall clarify my point.

An elderly man once told me he has a lot of growing up to do.As opposed to other people’s thoughts, this man’s statement made perfect sense. People often mistake growing up for growing old, because there is only a fine line separating them.

Growing old may be inevitable,but growing up is optional.

Within this section, we give the students of Kuwait a platform from which

to express their beliefs on the matters that affect them. Here, students

receive the opportunity to voice their opinions, whilst allowing others to

hear them out.

VOICE YOuR OPINION

LET US KNOW IF YOU HAvE ANY FURTHER IDEAS FOR FUTURE TOPICS AT [email protected].

What do you think of the educational structure in Kuwait? What changes would you like to see made to the system?

THIS MONTH

WE ASKED:

Engr. Hussa Al-Khanfor, 21, KU, Civil Engineering

يجب أن يتم إضافة مواد عملية إلزامية للطلبة تفيدهم بشكل كبري

بعد مرحلة التخرج.

Amran Al-Dallal, 26, AUK, UndeclaredSegregation out, and more mixed classes in! Universities should have more consideration for working students, because the major subjects are in the morning and general ones available in the afternoon. In addition to that, the bureaucracy for registering or appealing for a grade is difficult.

Latifa, 18, AUK, Computer EngineeringPersonally, I find education in Kuwait strong enough. Based on a family’s financial state, I family can have a proper education for their kids without worrying.

Sara Faisal, 17, AUK, Graphic DesignI think Kuwait has a good educational system, but not as good as education from abroad, it should try to level up to other educational systems.

Saleh Al-Shawaf, 19,AUK, FinanceUniversities should not be segregated and professors should put their maximum effort to try their best so every student will pass. Attendance grades should be stricter to get marks and extra credit should be given if the class average was low.

Mariam Madi, 17, AUK, Social and Human Behavior/ Graphic DesignEducational system in Kuwait can be improved by hiring better professors who have more experience and are more educated.

Omar Al-Farsi, 25, AUK, Communication and MediaI strongly believe that the educational structure in Kuwait is weak. The government needs to focus more on aspiring the youth to be more creative rather than measuring their success based on their formative competition with others.

Engr. Yousef Al-Bader, 22, KU, Electrical Engineering

متتاز جامعة الكويت بطريقة تواصلها مع الطلبة سواء أكادمييًا أو غري أكادميي، كما حترص اجلامعة إىل اإلستماع إىل رأي الطلبة وتقييم األداء

األكادميي.

Nigel J. D’souza, 21, AUK, Accounting and FinanceEducation structure in Kuwait is pretty good. However, the changes I would like to see is that students in university should get a more practical knowledge and should be well prepared in the future career. No gender regulation and equality between women and men.

Yousef Al-Zamami, 19, AUK, UndeclaredIt is very weak, it’s not that useful and it’s not working. If we want to raise our country’s ranking between other countries, we have to change our education system.

واجلامعة تسعى دائما إىل التطوير مبختلف الطرق.

Engr. Mohammed Al-Ali, 21, KU, Civil Engineering

اجلامعات يف الكويت بحاجة ماسة إىل تعديل وتطوير الطرق التعليمية إليصال املعلومات للطلبة بطريقة

حديثة ومبتكرة.

Engr. Talal Al-Yamani, 22, KU, Civil Engineering

من الضروري أن تتطور املناهج التعليمية يف الكويت لتواكب خمتلف

التطورات التكنولوجية التي حتدث يف العامل.

Yousef Al-Mannai, 23, AUK, FinanceThe education structure is weak in “government schools.” Kuwaitis are getting their knowledge from the people who are being “heroes” is some Kuwaitis’ points of view.

Yousef Al-Mithin, AUK, 18, MarketingPersonally I would prefer that scholarships for Kuwaiti students should be easier to obtain, and that private schools should be urged to be on par with government schools.

Farah Harb, 19, AUK, BusinessIt could do way better. Parents play a bigger role by choosing where to enroll their kids, as the public schools are bad in reference to teaching English language and communication between genders.

Khalid Baz, 18, AUK, Accounting and FinanceIt is fine for a country such as Kuwait. However, I think more majors are needed in private universities such as medicine, dentistry and engineering.

Haseeb Shahzad, 21, AUK, Computer EngineeringThe education system in Kuwait is good. New and good universities are now opening in Kuwait. The only bad thing is the scholarships are only given to Kuwaitis.

Khalid Aba Sala, 18, AUK, BusinessThey should make education more entertaining and make tests easier so students will find their studying worth it.

Ali Al-Mattar, 20, AUK, Graphic DesignIt’s not bad. But government schools need to go out of their way to change how English is taught. As for college, they have good options but it will take years so that there are more options to choose from.

Ahmed Al-Baghli, 22, AUK, EnglishI think it is okay for the moment but since it is 2013, I hope that we can see good improvements that can help us, the government students.

Ahmed Bu-Khamseen, 23, AUK, Communication & MediaIt could be better. Mostly the parents should teach their kids proper manners before sending them off to school.

Mubarak A. Badran, 20, AUK, Graphic DesignIt is good as I can see it’s developing rapidly but in my opinion the system should be more open and stricter at the same time.

الكويت فجمعيها أكرث من ممتازة، وتتفوق على املناهج التي يتم تدريسها يف اخلارج.

Abdurrahman Chowdhury, 22,AUK, AccountingThe educational system in Kuwait is decent but there is scope for improvement. As far as students are concerned there are lots of schools but they should properly introduce newer courses/subjects, hence providing more choices to students. They should definitely start newer Universities with wider range of academic disciplines.

Mishaal Al-Tamimi, 21, ACK, Business

Engr. Hashim Hajieh, 22, KU,Electrical Engineering

مشاريع التخرج هي املادة الوحيدة التي تعتمد على النظام العملي، لكننا نرغب بأن يتم

إدخال املواد العملية يف خمتلف املواد.

Nawaf Mohammed, 21, ACK, Petroleum Engineering

املذاكرة النظرية كالبدنية والرسم واحلاسوب. رغم أنها مواد سهلة لكنها تستنفد طاقة

Mohammed Hasan, 20, AUK, Communication and MediaThe public education system is poor from what I’ve noticed, because of the relationship between schools and teachers is difficult, you could say. Relationship between students is also harmful, a lot of bullying and a very poor attendance. If a whole grade decides to ditch for a whole month, they will if they wanted to.

Engr. Abd El-Aziz Al-Sairafi, 22, KU, Electrical Engineering

DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST SONG YOU SANG OR PLAYED? “Ma Yehim” by Abdulla Al-Ruwaished.

Al Duwaisan said “On this basis we are able to provide a fun enjoyable experience to our customers who can start from the age of 9” he further added, “We provide them with all the necessary equipment forthis experience”.

A one hour lesson is more than enough to have fun and enjoy wakeboarding, however in order to become an expert an individual will need the discipline of signing up for a package deal with Balance.

POLARIS RZR XP 900

Extreme performance in a smooth ride

TEST DRIVE

STUDENTALK test drives the Polaris RZR XP 900 which has been built with a new class of power with comfortable operation, exclusive ITP 900 XCT tires providing exceptional cornering and straight line traction with 88 horse power and light weight engine.

To ring in the New Year, the Polaris family welcomes a whole new model, introducing the RZR XP 900. This model has been built as an extreme performance Side x Side vehicle that is able to run swiftly on the open desert. The ProStar 900 engine features an industry-leading 88 HP, Dual Overhead cams, 4 valves for high RPM power and 180 degree crank shaft for balanced performance.

The new class of power to weight is 29% quicker than the next closest competitor. This revolutionary acceleration is made possible by the 88 horse power lightweight engine and total vehicle weight combined with big-time power to the ground. The result is loads of torque to all four wheels and unsurpassed off-road acceleration.The 3-Link Trailing Arm IRS to handle all that power and keep the ride smooth. The 3-Link design, paired with premium Fox Shocks, creates a monstrous 14” of terrain-absorbing rear travel. In addition to an astounding 13.5” of front travel and 13” of ground clearance. Standard on all 4 corners are premium Fox Podium X 2.0 Shocks with piggy-back reservoirs - compression and preload adjustable. Paired with Dual-A-Arm front suspension with 13.5” of travel and it soaks up the rough stuff and delivers a smooth, precise ride every time.Only RZR features the Polaris-exclusive Optimized Mass Design. The engine and other components

are strategically placed to create the absolute lowest center of gravity, for the ultimate in razor-sharp performance. The 3-Link race inspired rear suspension maximizes traction and power in corners and straightaways. Tires lean into the corner through the suspension travel, planting more tire surface on the ground to create positive tire camber for more control. The trailing arms also minimize wheel scrub for superior straightaway power, helping you stay true to your line.

True All Wheel Drive gives the ultimate grip to put that 88 HP to work in the corners and loose terrain. It’s the easiest to use and fastest responding on-demand system, automatically engaging all four wheels when you need more forward traction and reverting back to 2 Wheel Drive when you don’t.

• Features•

• Industry first factory LED headlights shine a high-intensity bright white beam to turn night into day, and throw light forward far beyond conventional halogens

• • Comfortable operation is enhanced by tilt steering with a wide

range of motion (10”), adjustable and interchangeable bucket seats, and an adjustable passenger handrail.

• • Performance brake calipers and large diameter ventilated rotors

on all four wheels provide the stopping power extreme sport riders need.

• • Exclusive ITP 900 XCT tires – Standard on RZR XP – feature a

unique directional lug pattern providing exceptional cornering and straight-line traction capabilities.

• • Exclusive front suspension geometry results in less steering effort

on non-EPS models, making maneuvering the RZR XP easier at slower speeds

• • Convenient compression adjustment knobs on the Fox 2.0 shocks

for quick no-tool tuning.• • Passenger grab bar tube with anti-rattle bushing for reduced

noise.

BENTLEY REVEALS NEW PERFORMANCE

FLAGSHIP CONVERTIBLE

AUTOMOBILES

The new GT Speed Convertible combines the sensory pleasures of roof-down luxury touring with the shattering performance of a 625 PS (616 bhp) twin-turbocharged 6.0 litre W12, while delivering a fifteen percent improvement in fuel efficiency. The close-ratio eight-speed transmission, uprated and lowered suspension and retuned steering provide exhilarating acceleration and sharp, communicative handling without detriment to the renowned ride comfort of Bentley’s Continental convertible. Permanent all-wheel drive ensures optimum traction and power delivery whatever the road conditions.

Taking its place at the pinnacle of the Bentley Continental range, the new GT Speed Convertible has a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h) and in true Bentley style, no compromises have been made in craftsmanship, luxury or refinement to deliver this unrivalled performance.

Subtle sporting design cues include exclusive 21-inch alloy wheels, dark-tint grilles and ‘rifled’ exhaust tail pipes. Inside its handcrafted cabin, the GT Speed convertible features the Mulliner Driving Specification as standard, blending contemporary luxury with a distinctly sporting character.

Commenting on the new Continental GT Speed Convertible, Bentley Chairman and Chief Executive Dr Wolfgang Schreiber said: «Following the recent successful introduction of the GT Speed, the new GT Speed Convertible will appeal to drivers who seek the sensory thrills of the world’s fastest four-seat soft-top and the practicality of a year-round grand tourer, together with unrivalled levels of luxury and refinement. It is designed for those who accept no compromise.»

The Continental GT Speed Convertible, Bentley’s new open-top performance flagship - and the world’s fastest four-seat convertible - makes its international debut on 14th January at the North American International Auto Show, Detroit.

Leo Messi is now peerless in the modern game in terms of individual, global achievement. The fabulous little Barcelona and Argentina national team magician has claimed his fourth FIFA player of the year honor, handed the Ballon d’Or by world soccer’s governing body today in Swizterland.France’s Zinedine Zidane and Brazil’s Ronaldo were both three-time winners, but Messi is now alone with four. (The award has been around since 1991, so Pele, Diego Maradona, Johan Cruyff and other giants of a previous day never had the same chance at world soccer’s ultimate individual decoration.)As for the 2012 honor, Messi was one of three finalists, along with Barca teammate Andres Iniesta and Cristiano Ronaldo, a rival goal-scorer for Spanish rival Real Madrid.But finding anyone who thought Messi had real competition for this honor was tough, and for good reason. The highly versatile 25-year-old attacker struck for an astonishing 91 goals in all competitions (for Spanish giants Barcelona and internationally for powerful Argentina), eclipsing Gerd Muller’s 40-year record for the most goals in a calendar year.If scoring 91 goals to set a new world standard doesn’t get you the game’s highest award, what will?According to FIFA, Messi claimed 41.60 percent of the voting. Ronaldo was next with 23.68 percent, followed by Iniesta with 10.91 percent.

The one glitch in the Messi matrix has always been his far more modest success while guiding Argentina internationally (although the train wreck of Maradona as manager of the Albiceleste at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was surely a mitigating factor in theArgentine flop.)That argument against Messi went out the world soccer window in 2012 when he hit five times in five World Cup qualifiers, building on that with hat-tricks in friendlies against Brazil and Switzerland.Even Ronaldo had seemed resigned to runner-up status, at best, before Monday’s announcement: “If I win, perfect. If I don’t, never mind, life goes on.”

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is often called the Silent Killer because many people are not aware that their blood pressure is too high. Many people with high blood pressure may not feel any symptoms and therefore not have their hypertension diagnosed – and treated – for many years. Hypertension is the leading cause of stroke and can cause severe damage to other organs – eyes, kidneys and the arteries that bring blood to the heart muscle (coronary arteries). That is why you need to get checked and make sure to know your numbers.

What Is a Normal Blood Pressure?

Normal, or ideal, blood pressure is less than 120/80 mm Hg. Blood pressures of 120/80 – 140/90 are considered “prehypertension.” Blood pressures in this range do not necessarily require medication and many people in this category can bring their blood pressure down with lifestyle modification, such as losing weight and reducing salt intake. People with cardiovascular risk factors, diabetes or kidney disease with blood pressure in this range often receive medications.

If a person’s blood pressure is over 140/90 they are considered to have hypertension. A trial of lifestyle modifications can be considered although many patients will require medication along with lifestyle modification.

What Do the Numbers Mean?

There are two numbers in the blood pressure measurement. The first, or top number, is called the systolic blood pressure and represents the pressure in your arteries (the blood vessels that carry blood with oxygen from the heart to all parts of the body) when the heart contracts (beats) and pumps blood out of the heart and into the arteries.

The second, or bottom, number is called the diastolic blood pressure and represents the pressure in your arteries while your heart relaxes between beats.

Both numbers are important and elevation in one, or both, is considered when making the diagnosis of hypertension.

When Blood Pressure Measured?

Make sure to have been seated for atleast 5 minutes before your blood pressure is measured. Avoid caffeine, tobacco or exercise in the last 30 minutes. A proper size cuff should be used and blood pressure can be taken on either arm and is often taken on both arms for comparison.

The pressure in the dominant arm may be slightly higher. The difference between the two arms is generally 10 mm Hg or less. The diagnosis of hypertension should be confirmed with measurements made on several days, although if severely elevated, treatment may be initiated after one reading. It is often helpful to have a special monitor that a person takes home and records blood pressure for 24 hours.

Monitoring Your Blood Pressure at Home

Research shows home blood pressure monitoring can be vital to reducing a patient’s risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure. In fact, internationally recognized organizations, such as The American Heart Association, recommend any patient with or at risk of hypertension should purchase a clinically validated home blood pressure monitor and regularly monitor their blood pressure at home.

More than 50% of people with high blood pressure who monitor at home show an improvement in medication compliance and are quicker to take action.

What Causes High Blood Pressure?

Many factors can contribute to developing high blood pressure. Some can be controlled, such as weight, eating too much salt, and lack of physical exercise. The exact role of stress is unclear but is felt to be a factor as well.

Those factors that cannot be controlled are heredity (the genetic predisposition to having high blood pressure), older age and race.

It is always best to know your family’s medical history and to have regular check-ups. Since, at the end of the day, your heart keeps your blood pumping and the rest of your body working. It should be a priority in your everyday life, especially this month, the most loving month of the year.

POINT OF VIEW

Among the plethora of human emotions, envy and jealousy are states of mind that humans feel at least once in their lifetime. Yet, many claim that they never feel envy about anything, but may be jealous at some point of their life towards certain things or people. In fact, these two terms are used interchangeably although their indications vary.

Envy is a resentful emotion and occurs when someone lacks something that other people have and wishes that the other person lacked it. Bertrand Russell, a British philosopher, indicated that envy is a major cause of unhappiness. This is not surprising as people who envy others start having feelings of hostility and aggression towards those who they envy, and become unhappy and resentful about themselves.

But could envy have any benefits?

In fact, this was addressed in the socio-evolutionary theories that stated a feeling of envy is an important component of evolution and helps to select certain individuals to survive. Although this hypothesis lacks scientific evidence, it is a means to explain why people could envy others. In order to overcome envy, people need to have peace within and appreciate what they have and own. Many of those who envy others reach a state where they have to seek professional psychological help in order to be happy and to avoid a depressive state. Among the personalities associated with envy are those who are narcissistic. Narcissism goes beyond that, and leads people to think that others are actually envious of them.

ENVY VERSuS JEALOuSY:

What’s up with this deal?

Dr. Hussien Abbas

Since envy is associated with a social stigma, is jealousy the same?

Definitely not. Jealousy is the feeling of fear at losing something or someone that the jealous person is attached to. This, however, can manifest itself in various ways. On one hand, someone may be jealous to the extent of being overprotective about certain people. At the other end, jealousy may lead people to interpret events in the wrong sense. This happens most often between people in a relationship. A husband, for example, could misinterpret his wife’s kindness to someone else out of jealousy, and vice versa. Similarly, a brother may feel jealous of his

sibling if the parents show more affection during certain times to the sibling. These feelings can be dealt with through rational thinking and explaining one’s self to the other. Unfortunately, some people feel jealous about others out of anxiety, fear and insecurity. In this respect, people involved should try to support the sufferer. Moreover, a jealous person should work on believing in him/her-self to avoid damaging a relationship. Interestingly, biologists have found a genetic component for what could trigger jealousy feelings in people. This is supported by the fact that certain cultures and populations are more prone to feelings of jealousy than others. However, these findings necessitate further studies.

Although jealousy and envy are terms that are used interchangeably in societies, it is obvious that these feelings are different. While envy is related to an ominous indication, jealousy is more benign. Both feelings however require attention to avoid exacerbations.

Use appropriate phrases. Usually, people with attitude act in aggressive ways with others. They can easily misunderstand you so it is better if you let them speak before you.

Listen more and speak less.Listen to what’s not being said. Ignore negative remarks, noisy comments and try to understand the reason behind their attitude.

Be super positive.In general, being positive in every day life reflects your positive image.

Take a deep breath and stay calm.Friends with attitude like to reflect there attitude towards other friends to cause problems and get them annoyed. Stay calm if you really care about your friendship.

Offer encouragement.True friends show the support toward each other, and your attitude friends should get some of this support because in some cases attitude is a result of the lack of confidence.

Compromise with them,so don’t treat them the way they treat you.

Don’t take it personal.Keep in mind that they have an attitude with everyone else, not just you.

Give them some indirect advices (hints).Sometimes those hints would help your friend with attitude to receive and accept your criticism.

Under the slogan “Be a Distinctive Journalist,” the organizers of Sheikh Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah Award for Journalistic Excellence launched their awareness campaign aiming to establish a new generation of expert journalists in Kuwait. Ayman Al-Ali, Chairman of the Higher Organizing Committee, conducted the presentation at AUK’s Auditorium. He announced, “The main aim of this competition is to entice the youth category, that’s why we are operating in means similar to the youth, use of technology, where our registration process is possible via the website, in a way to make it easier for the youth to participate and attract them more. We hope to have high youth participation this year.”The competition this year seeks not only to attract the Kuwaiti youth, but also to polish their journalistic skills. Therefore, the conditions for the Kuwaiti Youth category come with more privileges to facilitate the process of their participation. This includes a lower word count and the possibility of English submissions, accompanied by Arabic translation. Additionally, the submissions should be related to Kuwait, yet not limited to a single topic, allowing more space for creativity and innovation to be part of the participation.From their side, the Communication and Media Department at AUK saw this competition as a valuable opportunity for students to participate and increase their exposure to technical and professional writing.

Throughout 2012, the American University of Kuwait has significantly expanded its support for academic and student services with several IT and technology infrastructure projects. The University has adopted a video collaboration and meetings platform that facilitates a visual connection between professors and staff who are globally dispersed. Advances in learning support were achieved by optimizing projector, video, and internet connectivity into all classrooms so that more than 100 faculty members on AUK’s campus can connect with approximately 2200 students to share resources to make the most of the learning experience. Using the same space, AUK increased the computer count from 108 to 156 in four computer labs, a 44% optimization. AUK’s annual energy cost for the 108 computers was 1,660,954 kW a year. The new 156 computers use 204,984 kW a year. AUK’s going green resulted in a 1,455,970 kW decrease (87%) in energy costs. The University has successfully deployed “mobile applications” through the Ellucian Mobile Connection framework providing smart phone and mobile devices access to useful student services. In addition to this outstanding year of activities the IT department initiated a knowledge and cultural exchange via IT internship for a student from Dartmouth, AUK’s international partner institution. AUK hopes to continue improving on its integration of technology into their campus and our efforts to save energy.

After several months of hard work, the AUK Library officially started receiving visitors in the new expanded area on its second floor. In an Open House event on January 10th, the library opened its doors to the AUK community to enjoy the new renovations and facilities in the previously closed area. The new library section now houses part of the book collection, in addition to a periodicals display, a reading space, a terrace, and a book display area, with a special stand for books published by AUK professors. According to Ms. Asma Al Kanan, the newly appointed Library Director, planning and preparations started in the Library during the summer, while actual work started beginning of November and was completed in mid-December. The process was exhaustive as it included transferring and moving a book collection of over 30,000 items without affecting the daily operations and services of the library. Fiction and journals were relocated to the new space, allowing the library to free the middle area in the ground floor for twelve new tables. Al Kanan says “I feel very proud of a hard working library staff and a supportive administration. I’m very pleased to see the productive use our users are making of the new space.”

It was a fun filled Ladies Night at Meat & Co. in 360 Mall. Combining the stunning fashion from Bimba & Lola and the exquisite fine dining of Meat & Co. restaurant, it was a night to never forget. Guests enjoyed a delectable three-course meal as they watched a special presentation of the spanish based brand’s autumn/winter collection. For founders and designers Uxia and Maria Dominguez, the label is very much a family affair (the name came from their pet dogs, Bimba and Lola, hence their greyhound motif), and one that has nurtured a very personal design aesthetic. “To create Bimba & Lola we look for inspiration in nature, art, film - even in friends and family,” Maria Dominguez told us. “We know each other really well and have great respect for one another, which helps when reaching agreements.”“This collection is inspired by the hyper-culture concept, a mix of tradition with modernity, the rustic and the technological,” Uxia Dominguez explained. “Because of this, we have achieved a combination of rich and technical fabrics and geometric prints with the more ornate.”We loved the collection, available at Bimba & Lola, 360 Mall and Olympia.

The Global Management Challenge is the largest international event based on business simulations, in which more than 470,000 company managers and university students from more than 40 countries participate throughout the world. ADNAR group launched the INAUGRAL Edition of the Global Management Challenge in Kuwait for the first time in the Arab world, on the 7th of January 2013 in a ceremony at the Holiday Inn Hotel-Salmiya. The kickoff included a technical presentation to introduce the participating teams to the simulator and the companies they are about to manage,andthey received the competition material (User’s Manual, Decision Sheet, Briefing and De-Briefing). Then the participating teams celebrated with ADNAR Group its 5th anniversary. Leading Companies and Universities in Kuwait attended the INAUGRAL Edition where they will compete with each other with the objective of getting the highest company share price in the simulated stock exchange.The teams were distributed into two groups as follows:

Group 1: Group 2:

For the first round (5 weeks) These teams will compete with each other, in their respective groups, with the objective of getting the highest share price for their companies in the simulated stock exchange, and the top three teams from each group will be eligible to compete in the final for a chance to raise Kuwait’s Flag for the first time among competing countries in the next international Final in Bucharest-Romania.The participants come from all walks of life; senior and middle managers, managers to be and students.During the first week of Round 1 the participants took decisions concerning their companies and fed these decisions to the simulator for processing and evaluating, the simulator produced the ranks of the competing companies in relation to their companies share price in the simulated stock exchange as follows:

Stephanie received three yeses from the judges and one no from Nicki.Nicki then explained her decision by pointing out that Stephanie was wearing the same color eyeshadow at her. “We have a rivalry and that is why I said no.”

Mariah started pointing her finger in Nicki’s direction, and interrupting her saying, “This is what I deal with, this is what I deal with when I come into my job.”

Nicki then pointed at Mariah, without looking at her, and said “Oh no, because you ain’t got nothing like me.”

Mariah then quipped, “Exactly my dear” as she rolled her eyes. ”Calm down, slow down, relax,” she continued.

SIMON COWELL WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO X FACTOR 2013

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND CASPER SMART ADOPT A DOGGIE!

MARIAH CAREY FURIOUS -NICKI MINAJ REJECTS ‘IDOL’ HOPEFUL OvER EYESHADOW

Simon Cowell has apparently ‘ruled out’ a return to The X Factor UK this year. According to reports, Simon has revealed that he won’t be coming back to the British line-up, leaving his slot on the panel open again. The Sun claims that Simon “shook his head” when he was asked about an X Factor comeback during yesterday’s Britain’s Got Talent auditions in Cardiff.Simon was initially planning to change the winter time slot of the show to an earlier date in the year in the hopes that he could make a comeback - all of which has now been rubbished.

While Jennifer Lopez may want more kiddies, she and beau Casper Smart will test the waters with a different kind of babe.A puppy!

The singer and her dancer/lover shared a pic of their new GAWRGEOUS guy on Twitter.Meet Bear!!!!!! JLo tweets:

“@BEAUcasperSMART: Introducing the new addition to the family. “BEAR” (pic.twitter.com/KcVm3C33) So Happy! LilBabyBear. Could get confusing Lol!

American Idol judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj feuded again on the Jan. 17 episode. This time, they argued over accepting a contestant due to her eyeshadow color!“I liked it, I liked the choice of song and I thought your voice had a really pretty tone,” Mariah, 42, told Idol hopeful Stephanie Schimel.

But Nicki, 30, was not impressed saying, “I was not wowed. I thought your voice is pretty, you are pretty, but nothing jumped at me. We have seen such magnetic things today and I don’t think you compared to what we have seen today. I do not think you feel like a star. You are not giving me that thing. I do not feel it.”Even fellow judge Randy Jackson thought she was talented! “Really? I am not sure what is happening? I think you are really talented,” he said.

Jan 21 - Feb 19You care more passionately and respond instinctively and emotionally to whatever happens to you at this time. Also, you are energized and invigorated now and eager to be involved in projects that benefit you. Finances remain strong for most of the month.

Mar 21 - Apr 20This month marks a major life change for you. It is the end of an interest in the outward and

social world and the start of a more inward journey during which you absorb and take in

new information. Letting go of past success is a necessity now.

May 22 - June 21Home and family life are likely to be unsettled now in one way or another for the month. Your sense of having roots and a support system could be shaky.

A change of residence or change in your family structure could play a part in this.

July 23 - Aug22Stifled anger and resentment over the frustrations

and obstacles you confront now may further complicate matters. This is not a good time to

begin a new venture, ask for a promotion, or try to expand your activities in any way. Relationships

shall work out well.

Sep 24 - Oct 23You are sharp, clear, decisive, and articulate. You can’t stand being idle now, you are ready for challenging, intellectual activities and attacking difficult problems on the job. Self-confidence, physical energy, and courage run high, so this is a fine time to settle down with things.

Nov 23 - Dec 21You are very concerned with your responsibilities to important people in your life and you may give a special gift or provide practical assistance to parents, spouse, or children. You may also feel very strongly that a relationship has fulfilled its purpose of late.

Dec 22 - Jan 20An interest in psychology or other peoples’ secrets comes to the fore. You enjoy spy, mystery, and supernatural stories. A goal or vision you have been working toward comes into fruition now, or gains momentum and positive recognition from others. Your freedom would be at stake sometimes.

Feb 20 - Mar 20Wild and daring physical activities, or just plain recklessness and impatience, can put you into dangerous situations. Your drive for freedom, independence, and absolute authority over your own life is quite strong. You tend to be very abrupt and inconsiderable right now.

Apr 21 - May 21A lack of consideration for the feelings of others

can cause alienation and create tension in your life for this month. There’s a tendency to think you’re invulnerable. Watch what you’re doing and you’ll

prevent needless accidents and mistakes. Take time to talk and communicate with your near ones.

June 22 - July 22Your imagination and intuition are very keen now. If you are involved in an imaginative area such as art, music, theater, or writing fiction, you will find that fresh, new insights and creative inspirations

give added zest and originality to your work.

August 23 - Sep 23You want to be seen and noticed. You receive

appreciation and a positive response and possibly an opportunity or personal contact which will be

quite beneficial. There are opportunities for deep sharing and powerful, meaningful contacts with

others, especially in the name of partners.

Oct 24 - Nov 22Your enthusiasm and optimism are so strong that it is difficult for you to realistically evaluate the situation. If others question or doubt your plan, you quickly brush their concerns aside, as you pursue a grander vision. Professional life gets a new meaning for now.

HOROSCOPE

Traditional Aquarian Traits; they are friendly and humanitarian, honest and loyal,original and inventive, independent and intellectual.On the dark side intractable and contrary, perverse and unpredictable, unemotional and detached.

The Aquaruis Man The Aquarius man is a man of sense, with a kind heart, and this thing is reflected on his face. He attracts with his intelligence, humour and loving eyes. The Aquarius man is difficult to describe though, because he brings along a world full of contradictions and paradoxes.

The Aquaruis Women An Aquarian female loves her freedom and if you can accept this, she will love you. Position and power matter to her more than money and bank balance. If you want her to fall in love with you, be true and honest, not only to others, but also to yourself. You don’t need to follow her rules. You can form your own code of ethics, but be sure to live by them.
