HBKU Press to enrich Arabic

journal publication portfolioBy Fazeena Saleem The Peninsula

Hamad Bin Khalifa University

Press( HBKU Press), a publish-

ing house of Qatar Foundation

(QF), will soon look into enrich-

ing its Arabic journal publication port-

folio, either by publishing more Arabic

articles in existing journals or by intro-

ducing new journals.

At present, Arabic language jour-

nals only contribute to a fraction of in-

ternational open access journals (as

shown by the Directory of Open Access

Journals). There are plans to introduce

new Arabic journal titles in the future,

using the same open access models so

that academics and the public do not

have any barriers to access informa-

tion to meet these growing demands,

says Dr Alwaleed Alkhaja (pictured),

Senior Editor at HBKU Press.

HBKU Press formerly known as

Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation (BQFP),

launched its publishing programme in

2010 as a world-class publishing house

founded on international best practic-

es, excellence and innovation.

In 2010, HBKU Press established

QScience.com, an open access plat-

form that gives the public access to

thousands of published research arti-

cles. QScience.com espouses all of the

ideals that HBKU Press hopes to con-

tribute to the Qatar National Vision

2030. The free flow of access to infor-

mation that is available on QScience.

com contributes directly to the de-

velopment of Qatar as a knowledge-

based economy.

“Good editorial insight, quality of

peer review, and manuscript prepara-

tion best practices are being used to

set up new, high quality journals. We

have a mission to support and enrich

Arabic academic content in support of

Qatar National Vision 2030,” said Dr

Alkhaja.

Another endeavour in the works

for HBKU Press will focus on develop-

ing and highlighting local talent. “HB-

KU Press plans to launch a pre-submis-

sion editorial service to assist local au-

thors in improving the quality of their

manuscripts before submitting them

to the journals of their choice,” said Dr

Alkhaja.

HBKU Press also plans to publish

more academic books that showcase

the cutting-edge research that is tak-

ing place in Qatar, as well as publish

more books that reflect the research

topics that Qatar is focusing on: from

sustainability, to advance in therapy of

genetic disease, to the social sciences.

“This focus on the local community

aims to further assist the scholarly out-

put from Qatar. HBKU Press strives to

continue to meet and exceed the ex-

pectations of the region in contributing

to the achievement of Qatar National

Vision 2030,” said Dr Alkhaja.

Global horizons

HBKU Press has published over

1,000 academic articles, and over

2,000 conference proceedings. The

top regional users who access and

read articles from the site are from Qa-

tar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Alge-

ria in addition to a high number of us-

ers from the US, UK, Canada, Australia

and India.

One of the most popular articles on

QScience.com is a study titled Dale’s

Cone of Experience to increase learn-

ing and retention: A study of student

learning in a foundational leadership

course, which examines how Edger

Dale’s Cone of Experience is employed

to positively impact student learning in

a foundational leadership course. The

study from Purdue University in the

United States has been accessed the

most times this year.

Also featured on QScience.com are

conference proceedings which include

details about the lectures, seminars,

and information discussed during con-

ferences held in Doha. The most re-

cently published conference proceed-

ings were 164 abstracts from the In-

ternational Conference in Emergency

Medicine and Public Health – Qatar

(ICEP-Q 2016). The five-day conference,

which was hosted by Hamad Medical

Corporation, welcomed health profes-

sionals from around the world to par-

ticipate in an open dialogue about re-

search and quality improvement in

the areas of emergency medicine and

public health.

Success At HBKU Press

HBKU Press is unique as it takes a

360 approach to publishing: not only

does the house publishes fiction and

non-fiction and fiction novels and chil-

dren stories, and it has a strong aca-

demic/research publishing programme.

HBKU Press is also one of the first

open-access publishers in the region

with QScience.com as its gold open-ac-

cess publishing platform, in which pub-

lications are available immediately on-

line and are free to read. HBKU press

uses Creative Commons attribution li-

cence for its journal publication and

this allows readers freedom to share

and adapt the information that they

find, which therefore increases the po-

tential impact of our publications.

In 2012, HBKU Press successful-

ly launched a law journal with articles

in both Arabic and English with Qa-

tar University. Interestingly, there was

an increase in Arabic language publi-

cations to the journal in the last year –

which may even overtake the number

of English language submissions. This

is a reflection of the necessity and in-

creased requirement for high quality

and editorially-transparent Arabic jour-

nal publications in the region.

QScience.com is also host to a va-

riety of other journals, including the

Qatar Medical Journal and the Journal

of Emergency Medicine, Trauma and

Acute Care which are affiliated with

Hamad Medical Corporation. The Qatar

Medical Journal includes original work,

review articles and case reports that

are particularly relevant to medicine in

the broad sense. JEMTAC focuses on all

topics related to emergency medicine

and subsequent patient care, includ-

ing the proceedings from conferences

such as the International Conference in

Emergency Medicine and Public Health

– Qatar (ICEP-Q).

“Our goal is to make the science ac-

cessible to a wider audience from dif-

ferent fields and disciplines,” said Dr

Alkhaja. “The biggest success of HBKU

Press and QScience.com has been to

bring internationally-recognised pub-

lishing standards and applying them

successfully in a local environment.”

The publishing process

Upon receiving an article for a jour-

nal, the journal editor checks the sub-

mission suitability for the journal and

performs a plagiarism check. All suit-

able manuscripts are sent for peer re-

view unless they are out of scope or do

not meet the criteria of articles pub-

lishable in the journal.

The peer review process is man-

aged by the journal editors at HB-

KU Press. The journal also has access

to outsourced, independent, peer re-

view provided by Rubiq (by Research

Square) whereby a report of two in-

vited reviewers is submitted within an

agreed time frame of 14 days.

“The editors and editorial board of

the journal also reserve the right to

seek further recommendations inde-

pendently. In both cases, the peer re-

view process is always double-blind

and reviewers are required to de-

clare any competing interests,” said Dr

Alkhaja.

When the journal editors receive

reviewer comments, they then consult

with the journal’s editorial board mem-

bers to make a final decision. The au-

thor is then informed that their submis-

sion has either been accepted, reject-

ed, or needs to be revised: accepted

articles go onto the copy editing stage;

rejected articles are not pursued fur-

ther; and revised articles are expected

to be changed based on the concerns

addressed in the peer review. Once an

article revision is submitted, the journal

editors either send the revision for ex-

ternal peer review or alternatively, ask

the editorial board to make an editori-

al decision.

The ultimate responsibility of the

editorial decisions rests with the Edi-

tors-in-Chief of the journal. In case the

manuscript is accepted, it is sent for

proofreading, copyediting, and refer-

ence/citations checks. The author re-

ceives comments from the journal ed-

itor and once edited, the approved

manuscript is sent for production. Fi-

nally, the finalised and approved PDF is

published online on QScience.com.

COVER STORY

Remaking your smiles

By Irfan Bukhari The Peninsula

Gone are the days when den-

tistry just revolved around

treating toothaches and fill-

ing cavities. The unbelievable

(as it seems sometimes) growth of sci-

ence, technology and innovation has

also brought conventional dentistry

miles ahead of tooth extractions and

implantations.

Now dentists are remaking your

smiles by positively re-constructing

your teeth. To explore new trends and

technologies in the field of cosmet-

ic dentistry, The Peninsula had an in-

teractive session with Dr Shahnaz Kad-

er and learnt with surprise that the

number of people seeking smile-en-

hancement was on the rise in Qatar like

other metropoles of the world. Beauty

is the catchword in this whole industry

of cosmetic dentistry.

“Yes the number of such clients is

on the rise. But recognising a good

cosmetic dentist is important. Ow-

ing to availability and advancement

in technology, every dentist can be a

cosmetic dentist but a good cosmetic

dentist should have a detailed imple-

mentation and artistic execution,” says

Dr Shahnaz, a graduate in dental sur-

gery from Mangalore, Karnataka, add-

ing that at times she as an honest pro-

fessional had also advised interested

clients to not go through the advance

procedures as they did not need it as it

was like “gilding the lily”.

Beauty knows no gender: years

ago, beauty products and jobs were

synonymous to women-world. It runs

contrary to the ground realities to-

day. “Not only women but also men

are attracting towards cosmetic dental

procedures to bring positive changes

in their set of teeth to enhance their

beauty and eventually to enhance their

smiles,” says Dr Shahnaz.

They say a good surgeon needs

three things; a lion’s heart, a hawk’s

eye and a lady’s finger. Being a lady

dental surgeon, she has a lady’s finger

(by nature) and her successful career

as a dentist also proves other two abil-

ities in her. She said with the passage

of time in today’s fast-changing world,

trailblazers of dental industry were

coming with a lot of advancement in

aesthetic choices.

How it works: popular cosmetic

dental procedures are teeth-whitening

and “smile makeovers”. She said Botox

and fillers had replaced shortcoming

in dentistry. “Their therapeutic uses in

dentistry are meant for both aesthetic

and functional purposes. Botox dental

therapeutic uses include correcting the

gum-line (gummy smiles), TMD (bone

joint) pain, orthodontic relapse, facial

pain and correcting the hyperactivity

of muscles for retention of removable

prosthesis.”

Predicting that current infatuation

with cosmetic dentistry would further

soar, she shared that the spaces between

the teeth after placement of crowns, im-

plants and bridges called “Black Traingle”

was usually a big aesthetic concern.

“Newer systems like veneers, lumi-

neers, non-prep-veneers, u-veneers

and pro-veneers are almost impecca-

ble,” she says, adding that u-veneer

was a new technology and she was al-

so offering those services. “Digital smile

design and 3D planning have made

communicating ideas with patients and

laboratories much easier. In the years

to come, introduction of virtual dentist-

ry would be the icing on the cake.”

As Qatar is wholeheartedly mark-

ing breast cancer awareness month, Dr

Shahnaz Kader is sensitising the mass-

es about the correlation between can-

cer and oral health. Referring to var-

ious authentic studies, she says that

there is an increased risk of breast can-

cer in women having poor oral health.

The number of people seeking smile-enhancement is on the rise in Qatar like other parts of the world. Beauty is the catchword in this whole industry of cosmetic dentistry.

“In men, poor oral health also in-

creases the chances of prostate cancer.

It was also seen that poor oral health

increases the chances of heart disease,

pneumonias and is associated with di-

abetes,” she added.

She has just not fastened her whole

attention on cosmetic procedures and

believes in first-thing-first therefore

emphasises on child dental care.

Citing a study conducted in 2011 by

Ministry of Public Health and WHO, she

said that 70% of children are affected

by untreated dental caries while in the

preschool children dental caries was

as high as 89%. When asked about

the reasons behind the problem, Dr

Shahnaz said: “This high incidence of

dental health related issues in children

are: lack of awareness of dental prob-

lems; no dental check-ups as more

than 60% of children never attend a

dental check up and frequent habit of

snacking and fast foods.”

She lamented over the fact that

large number of advertisements ap-

pearing in print media were about

dental clinics but no one was working

on awareness. “The focus has always

been on cosmetic dentistry as the de-

mand is high. Most general practition-

ers and specialists are not interested

in treating children as the treatments

are time consuming and difficult,” she

noted, further suggesting that school

health programmes should involve oral

health awareness.

In her fight against misconcep-

tions, Dr Shahnaz advises women to go

through dental check-ups during preg-

nancy without any fears.

“Caries during pregnancy is known

to produce a larger incidence of pre-

term deliveries and smaller babies.

Preventive dental cleaning and an-

nual examinations are not only safe

during pregnancy but is also impor-

tant. Hormonal changes during preg-

nancy cause gum swelling and bleed-

ing which trap food causing increased

irritation to the gums,” she said with

an advice that elective treatments like

teeth whitening and cosmetic treat-

ments were best postponed till after

delivery.

Pursuing her thirst for knowledge,

Dr Shahnaz Kader, did foundation

course from Cambridge University last

year in dental implantology. She be-

lieves in using tooth-friendly products;

the products that are safe for teeth

as they are non-carioegenic and non-

erosive. She says she rarely missed any

opportunity of broadening her hori-

zons in her profession and is set to at-

tend forthcoming Dental Facial Cos-

metic International Conference to be

held in Dubai next month.

The new revolution at the gates:

to assist cosmetic dentistry, now den-

tal spas have entered the medical are-

na. Experts claim that it is meant to

ease the fear and anxiety often as-

sociated with dental visits. Dentists

across the country have created wel-

coming and relaxing environments for

their patients by adopting the pam-

pering amenities and services of day

spas. These emerging dental practices

often are termed “dental spas” or “den-

tal day spas.”

Talking about dental spa servic-

es, Dr Shahnaz said there were vari-

ous types of spa like relaxation and

massage therapies, paraffin wax hand

treatments, aromatherapy, neck pil-

lows, fleece blankets, heated hand

mitts, complimentary beverages and

snacks, music headphones etc. “Open-

ing a dental spa would be my goal for

the future,” she said.

She thinks that relaxed patients

pose less risk of injury and are easier

to work with than tense, unhappy indi-

viduals squirming in their chairs.

She stresses on tooth-friendly eat-

ing. “The trick is to reduce the number

of acid attacks. Remember every time

sugar goes into your child’s mouth it

can cause an acid attack. Harmful sug-

ars hidden in foods and drinks are not

easy to identify. If you look at ingredi-

ent labels you might be surprised that

products saying ‘no artificial additives’,

‘low fat’ or ‘healthy’ may contain a large

amount of added sugars.”

Colleagues call it ‘weird’ while she

thinks it is an extreme expression of

passion. During interview she narrat-

ed an unusual thing: “Also as a den-

tist I have always tasted any new den-

tal medicine for example these gels,

creams, mouthwashes, etc. before pre-

scribing them to the patients. I would

taste it myself so as to explain the kind

of feel they (patients) would get. My

colleagues think it is weird.”

COMMUNITY

ISL Qatar observes Cancer Awareness week

International School of London Qatar

wears pink to support cancer aware-

ness. Pink ribbons, fuchsia shirts,

pink dotty ties, rosy headbands and

t-shirts were abundant during Cancer

Awareness week at ISL Qatar.

The school community of students,

staff and parents wore creative,pink-re-

latedcolours with pride. The numerous

fund raising events ranged from pink

ribbon sales to the very popular bake

sale and student walk-a-thon.

Increasing awareness of cancer is

a long-standing tradition of the school

and following October’s focus on fe-

male-related illnesses, November will-

promote awareness for male-relat-

ed cancers. During ‘Pink Week’, an im-

pressive amount of over QR12,000 was

raised for Qatar Cancer Society’s benefit.

The ISL Qatar community events cre-

ate opportunities for parents and staff

to lead by example and to engage in the

overall educational experience of stu-

dents. These events, which are outside

academic endeavours, enable students

to contribute and to make a difference

to the world around them.

The International School of London

Qatar has an outstanding reputation

for high academic standards, prestig-

ious International Baccalaureate (IB) pro-

grammes and an impressive record of ad-

mission toleading universities worldwide.

Blue thwarts Red’s last

minute rally for the win

A last minute rally could not be enough

for Red team to catch up and change

the complexion of the game as the re-

silient Blue team refused to budge to

capture the hard-earned close victory, 42-36,

in the thrilling match at the Under-17 Division of

the Nissan Cup 2016 hosted by Pinoy Basket-

ball of Qatar (PIBAQ) over the weekend. Red’s

Kim Biala sparked the fire when he connected

a basket beyond the arc with still 4:47 left even

as team mate Kyle Japson and Blue’s JV Lopez

were engaged in a shooting war to keep their

edge even at striking single digit distance.

A sorry miss in one of two free throws by

Red Razle Jan Fajardo settled an eight-point

deficit for his squad plus a short jumper for

Jayson Pascua pushed them to inch closer

within a six-point shortfall but tough luck for

them time was running out on their side.

Red has been struggling all throughout this

low-scoring game of the aspiring future stars

tournament while Lopez’s top scoring 10 point

spell the difference for their much needed win

to stay in contention in the elimination round.

In the other game, Yellow team domina-

tion all throughout the game led them to a

lopsided victory over Green team with a con-

vincing 19-point advantage, 43-24.

Green team could only salvage seven point

while Yellow shared the same predicament of

producing only 22 points at the end of the first

half, considered one of the lowest output in

the tournament. PIBAQ Chairman Pat Carido

explained the performance by the young boys

could be attributed for the pressure that they

felt in their first experience in playing for the

big league. “I believe they can recover in a while

and start to rev up their skills to come up with a

more decent regular scoring game,” Carido said.

The Nissan 21st Season Men’s Champion-

ship Cup of PIBAQ is presented by Ooredoo

and McDonald’s Qatar. The tournament is

brought by Qatar Basketball Federation and

the Philippine Embassy in Qatar and co-spon-

sored by Alicafe, Diana Jewellery and Watches,

GO Sports, Philippine Airlines, Filipino Commu-

nity Center, Fraser Suites Hotel and Shutters-

bug Photography.

MARKETPLACE

Doha Oryx ladies come out on top of their league

Doha Ladies travelled to Abu

Dhabi on Friday (October 21),

for their second tournament of

the season. Both the Oryx and

the Trojans played four games each

during the day.

The Trojans started their tourna-

ment against the eventual C League

winners, Tigers B, losing 24-0. Their

next game against the Dubai Cones

saw some awesome passing, running

and tackling against a team that fea-

tured players from the A League. The

Trojans narrowly lost 19-15, but Laura

Wilmot scored two tries and debutant

Gemma Pace got her first ever rugby

try in only her second game.

The third game put Becky Fairley on

the scoresheet, but the win eluded the

Trojans.

The team made up for a frustrat-

ing day of results with a resounding

41-0 win against Al Ain B. Newcom-

er Becky Forbes scored an incredible

four tries in her first ever rugby tour-

nament which helped the Trojans de-

feat a team that beat them at the end

of the previous tournament. Gem-

ma Pace was awarded the Man of the

Match award for her gutsy play on the

wing throughout the day.

The Oryx had one of their best tour-

naments for a long time with a clean

sweep of four wins. Their first game

was always going to be the toughest

and saw them facing Al Ain who had

just come down from the A League.

Determination and excellent team-

work were rewarded with a 12-7 win

in what was a closely fought, physical

and tense battle.

Hollie Blenman scored both tries,

linking up with new arrival Tracy Corby

for some excellent footballing skills for

the second. The Oryx’s day got better

and better with wins against Sharks B

(24 – 5), Sharjah (31 – 0) and Saracens

(33 – 0).

Hollie Blenman ran riot in the B

League, scoring a total of 35 points

and being awarded the Man of the

Match award.

Special mention must also go to

Lara Smith, Lou Gillard and Jen Fran-

klin who made their Oryx debuts and

all scored tries. The Oryx won the B

League in convincing fashion and are

hoping to build on their success as

they play in the A League at the next

tournament on November 4.

New eating experience at Shangri-La brunching zoneS

tarting October 28, the last

Friday of every month will

mark a new eating experience

in Doha as the Shangri-La

converts its first floor restaurant ar-

ea to one enormous brunching zone.

The Shangtastic Brunch is on.

Three signature restaurants —

Yabby, Fuego and The Den — join cu-

linary forces to offer a high-quality,

varied feast including live oysters and

fish, fine butcher’s cuts of meat, au-

thentic English pies and outrageous

desserts. The preparation of the

brunch requires the skill and attention

of no fewer than twenty chefs during

seventy-two hours prior to the day.

Guests can choose to be seated in

the upbeat décor of either Fuego or

Yabby, whilst being invited to indulge

themselves with tasty offerings from

all the different live cooking stations

as well as plated main courses from

all three restaurants. Live entertain-

ment from the hotel’s Argentine duo

and DJ Yas rounds off the mellow Fri-

day vibe.

“One of the best things about our

Shangtastic Brunch is that it isn’t a

huge buffet with food sitting out

in chafing pans for hours on end,”

said Ryan Sonson, Executive Chef of

Shangri-La, Doha. “For our brunch,

each restaurant will provide all-you-

can-eat main courses plated fresh to

order. From Fuego we will offer won-

derful meaty items as Fuego is essen-

tially a steak house; while from Yab-

by the mains will be focused primari-

ly on excellent seafood. This gives our

customers the maximum freshness

and quality of dishes according to the

specialised skills of our chefs.”

The high quality and variety of the

Shangri-La’s live stations are a notable

touch, including as they do: a carving

station which will feature unique ro-

tisserie chicken, whole roasted bone-

less salmon, and bone-in prime rib of

beef; the station devoted to savory

English pies made by the hotel’s Brit-

ish chef, boasting rich, flavourful com-

binations such as chicken, beef and

bone marrow, broccoli and Roquefort,

as well as more Continental offer-

ings such as pâté encroûte and gar-

gantuan quiches; and also from the

French quarter, a fromagerie-boul-

angerie featuring a raclette station

and Brie de Meauxencroûte, as well

as over a dozen other favourite Euro-

pean cheeses.

Selections for the health-con-

scious are excellently represented

with a station serving fresh ceviche

from the Argentine chefs in Fuego,

an oyster and sushi counter, and, at

the carving station, a unique presen-

tation of delicious and tender vegeta-

bles cooked sous-vide to retain max-

imum flavour, texture, and nutrition-

al value.

FOOD

08 | WEDNESDAY 26 OCTOBER 2016

By Joe Yonan The Washington Post

When I saw an advance

copy of “Power Vegeta-

bles!,” the second cook-

book by Peter Meehan

and the editors of Lucky Peach maga-

zine, my first thought was that vegeta-

bles - and even vegetarianism - might

now be officially hip. The signs of hip-

ness have been there for a while, es-

pecially in the way chefs are treating

meat-free cooking at restaurants like

Vedge and V Street in Philadelphia; Dirt

Candy, Nix and the upcoming ABCV in

New York; and, frankly, countless plac-

es on the West Coast.

But Lucky Peach? It’s harder to get

any hipper than that.

The subtitle of Meehan & Co.’s book,

a follow-up to “101 Easy Asian Recipes,”

is “Turbocharged Recipes for Vegeta-

bles With Guts,” and the book delivers,

with recipes for Buffalo cucumbers,

daikon radish with XO sauce, cauliflow-

er chaat and more. On the cover, plas-

ma globes crackle amid a pile of veg-

etables (Meehan’s inspiration: Sharp-

er Image catalogues and 1980s horror

movies), and on the inside, Meehan de-

scribes the look as “over the top and

NASCAR-y.”

Roasted Squash With Pumpkin Seed Mole

4 servings, Healthy

The fluffy texture of sweet kabocha

squash combines here with the deep,

warm, spicy flavors of a pumpkin-

seed-thickened Mexican mole (called

pipian rojo) for a standout fall dish.

Serve with beans and rice for a

complete meal, or as a side dish, with

or without corn tortillas.

MAKE AHEAD: You may have more

mole than you need; it can be refriger-

ated for up to 1 week or frozen for up

to 3 months.

Adapted from “Power Vegetables,”

by Peter Meehan and the editors of

Lucky Peach (Clarkson Potter, 2016).

Ingredients

For the mole

3 dried guajillo chili peppers

2 dried ancho chili peppers (may

susbstitute 2 more guajillos)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic

1/2 cup chopped yellow or white

onion

2 dried bay leaves

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 cups water

1/2 cup raw, unsalted pumpkin

seeds (pepitas)

2 tablespoons raw white sesame

seeds

1 teaspoon kosher salt

For the squash

Two 2-pound whole kabocha

squashes (may substitute small sugar

pumpkins or acorn squashes)

Kosher salt

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Lime wedges. for garnish (optional)

Steps

For the mole: Pull the stems from

the dried guajillo and ancho chilies and

shake out and discard their seeds. Tear

the chilies into postage-stamp-size

pieces.

Heat the oil in a large, heavy skil-

let over medium-low heat. Add the

chilies, garlic and onion, and toss to

coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until

the onion and garlic are soft and the oil

has turned red, about 8 minutes. Stir in

the bay leaves, oregano, cumin, papri-

ka and cinnamon. Cook, stirring often,

until the spices have melded and be-

come fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the wa-

ter and increase the heat to medium-

high; once the mixture comes to a boil,

reduce the heat to medium to main-

tain a gentle boil. Cook until the sauce

base has reduced by half (to about 2

cups), 20 to 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, place a medium skil-

let over medium-low heat and add

the pumpkin seeds. Cook, tossing the

seeds frequently so they toast evenly,

until they have darkened a few shades

and browned here and there, 3 to 4

minutes. (A few will pop and dance in

the pan.) Slide them onto a plate; add

the sesame seeds to the pan. Toast

them, shaking the pan, until they are a

dirty blond color, 1 to 2 minutes. Slide

them onto the plate with the pumpkin

seeds to cool.

Transfer the hot sauce base and

cooled sesame and pumpkin seeds to

a blender; remove the center knob of

the lid (so steam can escape), cover

that opening with a paper towel and

puree until smooth.

Return the pureed sauce to the

pan over medium-low heat; cook un-

til it has thickened, about 5 minutes,

and season with the salt. You should

have about 2 1/2 cups. (You can use

the mole immediately, but it will taste

even better after being cooled and re-

frigerated for a couple of days. Reheat

it gently, adding splashes of water to

loosen it, as needed.)

For the squash: Preheat the oven to

375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with

parchment paper.

Use a sharp, heavy knife to care-

fully cut the kabochas in half vertical-

ly through the stem end. Don’t remove

the seeds. Lay the halves cut sides

down on the baking sheet. Roast until

they are tender enough to be pierced

with a paring knife or fork, 30 to 40

minutes. The skin may be quite firm,

but the flesh should be soft and cara-

melized in spots.

Once the squashes are cool enough

to handle, flip them over and carefully

scoop out their seeds and pulp, taking

care not to break the flesh. Reserve the

seeds for later roasting if desired. Slide

a large serving spoon between the skin

and flesh of the squash, removing the

flesh from each half in two or three

large wedges. (If it’s easier for you, cut

each squash half in half again before

removing the flesh.)

Place the wedges from each half in-

to a shallow bowl or dinner plate, sea-

son lightly with salt and spoon about

1/2 cup of the mole across each one.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve

with lime wedges, if desired.

| 09WEDNESDAY 26 OCTOBER 2016

By Kim Bhasin Bloomberg

At the Away store in New York, Steph Korey

glides through a demonstration of a light

blue suitcase—the phone charger on its

strong polycarbonate shell, the small nylon

bag to separate dirty clothes from clean, the mesh

that separates compartments, the compression pad

that keeps stuff compact...

But that’s all Korey really has to say about

the bag by the luggage brand she co-founded

last year. The minimalist luggage that’s generat-

ed such buzz since it hit the market last year has

no lengthy features list for sales people to rattle

off. Instead, Korey hopes it offers what travelers

want most.

Away is trying to transform a staid, unglamorous

industry with a few well-designed takes on a simple

product that one rarely needs to buy.

“If luggage had never existed, what would it be?”

Korey asks after the demo, seated with co-founder

Jen Rubio on wooden bleachers in the store in Man-

hattan’s fashionable SoHo neighborhood—Away’s

first-ever permanent location, with lots of big win-

dows, exposed brick, and displays of fancy head-

phones and travel guides.

Both women are familiar with industries that

spent decades unchanged until jostled by a new-

comer. Before founding Away, both worked at War-

by Parker, which upended eyewear by bypassing

middlemen and retail markups. Casper, whom Korey

once consulted for, used a similar strategy to rattle

the mattress market.

Korey and Rubio started Away early last year,

compiling consumer research to figure out what peo-

ple actually demand from their luggage. They be-

gan selling their first bag, a carry-on, by year’s end

and expanded to three more sizes. Prices range from

$225 to $295.

“We really saw a need in the luggage industry—

you know, there’s not a good luggage brand that

people can resonate with,” says Rubio.

The global luggage market is about $31 billion, led

by brands like Samsonite and Tumi, according to da-

ta from P&S Market Research.

Now Away is on track to sell 50,000 suitcases and

hit $10 million in annual sales this year, according to

Rubio.

The company is not yet profitable because it’s

focused on growth, the founders say. Thus far, it’s

raised $11 million in venture capital funding from in-

vestors like Jay Z, Jeff Kearl of Skullcandy and Stance,

Brian Lee of the Honest Company, and Andy Dunn of

Bonobos.

Even the luggage’s end look was born of prac-

ticality. Its top is flat so travelers can put a second

bag atop it when wheeling around airports. Horizon-

tal ridges add strength to its structure. The trim sur-

rounding its zipper exists to prevent rain and mud

from seeping inside.

“Everything serves a purpose,” says Korey. “It’s a

simple enough aesthetic that it won’t overpower your

personal style.”

Yet the bags have managed to become quite

fashionable. Enamored of its sleek style, Vogue de-

clared Away’s smallest bag “the perfect carry-on.”

Refinery29 wrote that if there were an “It” suitcase,

Away’s would earn the title. Allure fell “in love” with

the bags.

Away intends to leverage its fashion status. Next

year, it plans to launch several collaborations with

people in fashion, art, music, and food.

Existing suitcases don’t give shoppers much to

be excited for, Away’s founders argue. Many trave-

lers stick with beat-up bags they’ve used for years,

spending their cash on another trip rather than

new luggage. And as the pair sees it, traditional

luggage sellers peddle their wares like a depart-

ment store rep would pitch a kitchen appliance—

ticking off a list of features that may or may not mat-

ter to shoppers.

Korey dismisses that tactic as baloney. Nobody

really wants, say, to unlock their suitcase with a but-

ton on their phone.

“It’s a feature for the sake of the feature,” she says.

“Not for the sake of a travel experience.”

There’s money in suitcases

Korey and Rubio started Away early last year, compiling consumer research to figure out what people actually demand from their luggage. They began selling their first bag, a carry-on, by year’s end and expanded to three more sizes. Prices range from $225 to $295.

HEALTH & FITNESS

10 | WEDNESDAY 26 OCTOBER 2016

AFP

Long-term exposure to urban air

pollution incrementally increas-

es the risk of high blood pres-

sure, according to a study re-

leased Tuesday of more than 41,000 Eu-

ropean city-dwellers.

Constant noise pollution -- especially

traffic -- also boosts the likelihood of hy-

pertension, researchers reported in the

European Heart Journal.

High blood pressure is the most im-

portant risk factor for premature illness

and death.

The study found that one extra adult

per 100 people of roughly the same age

developed high blood pressure in the

most polluted part of towns compared

to more breathable neighbourhoods.

The risk is similar to being clinical-

ly overweight with a body mass index

(BMI) of 25-30, the researchers said.

To carry out the study, 33 experts

led by Barbara Hoffmann, a professor

at Heinrich-Heine-University in Duessel-

dorf, Germany, monitored 41,071 people

in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany

and Spain for five to nine years.

At the same time, the researchers

examined air quality annually in each lo-

cale during three two-week periods be-

tween 2008 and 2011, measuring differ-

ent sizes of particle matter.

Every increment of five micrograms

-- or millionths of a gram -- of the small-

est of these particles upped the risk of

hypertension by a fifth for people living

in the most polluted areas, compared to

those in the least polluted.

None of the participants had hyper-

tension when they joined the study, but

during the follow-up period 6,207 peo-

ple -- 15 percent -- reported that they

developed hypertension or started to

take medication to lower blood pres-

sure.

For noise pollution, the researchers

found that people living on busy streets

with loud night-time traffic had, on av-

erage, a six percent increased risk of de-

veloping hypertension compared to ar-

eas where noise levels were at least 20

percent lower.

“Our findings show that long-term

exposure to particulate air pollution is

associated with a higher incidence of

self-reported hypertension,” Hoffmann

said in a statement.

Even when noise was excluded, the

impact of air pollution on blood pres-

sure remained, she added.

“Current legislation does not protect

the European population adequate-

ly from adverse effects of air pollution,”

the researchers concluded.

Pollution levels were higher in Spain

and Germany than in the Nordic coun-

tries, Hoffmann noted.

Air pollution is thought to affect the

heart and blood vessels by causing in-

flammation, a build-up of damaging

molecules, known as oxidative stress,

and an imbalance in the nervous sys-

tem. Noise is thought to affect the func-

tioning of both the nervous and hormo-

nal systems.

Along with our skin that loses the firmness and

elasticity of the youth, our brain too starts to

sag as we age, researchers say.

A recent study found that as humans age, their

brain folds and the tension on the cerebral cortex --

the outer layer of neural tissue in our brains -- ap-

pears to decrease.

Previous research has shown that this folding of

the cortex across mammalian species follows a uni-

versal law -- that is, regardless of size and shape,

they all fold in the same way.

“Our study has shown that we can use this same

law to study changes in the human brain,” said lead

author Yujiang Wang from the Newcastle Universi-

ty in Britain.

However, this effect was more pronounced in

individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, the research-

ers said.

“In Alzheimer’s disease, this effect is observed

at an earlier age and is more pronounced. The

next step will be to see if there is a way to use the

changes in folding as an early indicator of disease,”

Wang added.

The study also found that male and female

brains differ in size, surface area, and the degree

of folding.

Indeed, female brains tend to be slightly less

folded than male brains of the same age. Despite

this, male and female brains are shown to follow

exactly the same law, the researchers said.

The study sheds light on the underlying mecha-

nisms which affect brain folding and could be used

in the future to help diagnose brain diseases, the

researchers observed.

“More work is needed in this area but it does

Know how human brains ‘slack’ with age

suggest that the effect Alzheimer’s disease has on

the folding of the brain is akin to premature ageing

of the cortex,” Wang noted in the paper that ap-

peared in the journal PNAS.

Actress Angelina Jolie’s children

are helping her rethink how

she handles herself in court

during the divorce proceedings.

The actress has also decided to

back off with the “aggressive divorce

tactics” against Pitt for the sake of

their children.

Jolie, 41, has consistently affirmed

that her six children are her biggest

priority since she announced her

split from Pitt, 52.

“After looking bad in the court of

public opinion, Angelina is backing

off her aggressive divorce tactics,”

hollywoodlife.com quoted a source

as saying.

“She wanted to expose the truth

about Brad being not as sweet and

innocent as his fans think but she

didn’t anticipate such a backlash

from close friends and family. Ange-

lina’s trusted advisors have pleaded

with her to be more gentle in han-

dling the separation and divorce,”

the report said.

“Those close to her have also con-

vinced Angie that if she continues to

go hard after Brad, the biggest los-

ers will be the people she cares most

about, their kids. Her main goal has

always been protecting her children,”

added the source.

Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt on

September 19 citing irreconcilable

differences while seeking physical

custody of six children.

Siddharth Roy Kapur quits Disney India for own business venture

Film producer Siddharth Roy

Kapur, who is married to ac-

tress Vidya Balan, is stepping

down as the Managing Director of

the Walt Disney Company India

to “explore his own business inter-

ests”. Mahesh Samat will be taking

his place.

Walt Disney International, a di-

vision of the Walt Disney Compa-

ny, has announced that Samat will

return to his leadership role of the

Walt Disney Company India as Man-

aging Director.

“Mahesh guided Disney in India

in its early days, and we are thrilled

with his decision to return to the

organisation he helped build,” said

Andy Bird, Chairman, Walt Disney

International.

“We are encouraged by the op-

portunity we see to further grow

our business in India and believe

Mahesh’s entrepreneurial spirit,

knowledge of our brands and fran-

chises, and long-standing expertise

in our broader operations will con-

tinue the momentum we are expe-

riencing in this dynamic market,” he

added.

Samat succeeds Kapur, who is

departing the company to explore

his own business interests.

“Sid is a pillar of the Indian enter-

tainment industry and has demon-

strated passion and commitment

for the Disney business. He carved

a strong position for Disney in the

Indian media and entertainment

space that positions us well for the

future. We are immensely thankful

for his service and wish him well in

his next venture,” Bird said.

While working for the company,

Kapur introduced Indian Broadway

version of timeless classic “Beauty

and the Beast”, which was a huge

success.

Samat departed Disney India

four years ago to establish Epic Tel-

evision Networks and was founder

and Managing Director of the Epic

Channel, which focused on history,

folklore and mythology-based con-

tent. Samat is excited to return to

the wonderful world of Disney.

“Moving forward, we will accel-

erate the great work done by the

team and create new, innovative

ways for audiences to engage with

our stories, brands and characters,

and drive growth across our busi-

nesses,” Samat said.

From furious movie buffs shout-

ing against the organisers to

the audience walking out of

the hall, the world premiere of

actress Priyanka Chopra’s debut Mar-

athi production venture “Ventilator”

here was a dramatic one.

The Jio MAMI 18th Mumbai Film Fes-

tival hosted the world premiere of “Ven-

tilator”, helmed by “Ferrari Ki Sawaari”

director Rajesh Mapuskar, on Monday.

The Marathi film, produced by Pri-

yanka and her mother Madhu Chopra

under their production banner Purple

Pebble Pictures, has as many as 116 ac-

tors, including Ashutosh Gowariker, Su-

kanya Kulkarni, Jitendra Joshi, Sulabha

Arya and Boman Irani.

Though not all of them attended

its premiere, quite a few celebrities, in-

cluding filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani and

their guests turned up.

The fact that the seats for the ce-

lebrities’ guests were reserved, didn’t

go down well with some of the view-

ers who were eagerly waiting to catch

the film.

As the time for premiere ap-

proached, many people lined up out-

side the hall, which has 300 seats. Tired

of waiting and watching the invited

guests entering the hall, they asked the

guards to let them in.

While someone shouted that this is

a festival and not a private screening,

some left after seeing the chances of

catching the film bleak.

“It’s a world premiere. I can’t tell

them to not invite their guests. But the

audience doesn’t consist only of the in-

vited guests. We have a mixed audi-

ence,” MAMI festival director, Anupama

Chopra told IANS.

But the tension-filled environment

was just temporary as the moment

Mapuskar, Madhu and Ashutosh took

charge of the mic, the fuming audi-

ence cooled down.

Priyanka, who is flying high in the

West with the hit American TV series

“Quantico”, couldn’t make it to the pre-

miere, but her mother shared that the

actress’ vision has always been to pro-

mote regional cinema and get them

“access to the rest of the world”.

Filmmaker Ashutosh, who had ear-

lier acted in “Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa”,

said that the film’s team was looking

forward to share the movie with her.

“It will happen soon, in New York it-

self,” he said.

He also revealed his unwillingness

to return to acting. “I never wanted to

come back to acting because direction

is very difficult. I want to stay focused

on direction. But Mapuskar kept on pur-

suing me for six months and made me

say yes.”

“Ventilator” revolves around an ailing

senior member of a family who is be-

ing put on ventilator just days before

the popular Ganpati festival leading to

speculation and panic among the fam-

ily.

The team received a positive re-

sponse from the viewers. On being

asked about plans to promote it, Mad-

hu told IANS: “We are going on city

tours. I hope it has an all-India release

on November 4. We are planning to re-

lease it worldwide also. We are also get-

ting invitations from festivals.”

Talking about future projects, she

said: “We are doing many regional

films. We have finished a Bhojpuri film,

we are finishing a Punjabi film and then

we will start off with a Rajasthani film.”

TECHNOLOGY

12 | WEDNESDAY 26 OCTOBER 2016

By Hayley Tsukayama The Washington Post

Google has taken itself down a

very promising road with its

new Pixel phone line, offer-

ing a level of polish and pow-

er that makes it very competitive with

the market’s top phones.

I admit that I was a bit under-

whelmed by the Pixel’s first appear-

ance, which came at a Google launch

event earlier this month. Google’s Nex-

us line of phones had always appealed

well to the niche Android superfan au-

dience, and on paper it didn’t seem

that the $750 Pixel would really offer

that much more.

Yet my mind changed after the

company sent me a Pixel XL to review.

Both this 5.5-inch phone and its small-

er sibling run pure Android and fea-

ture Google’s voice-controlled Assist-

ant. The Pixel XL proved to be an ele-

gant, capable and - best of all - useful

phone.

For one, it’s a nice-feeling phone.

The Pixel has the right heft to it while

still keeping a slim profile. It sits well

in hand; its fingerprint reader is on the

back of the phone, in keeping with a

design decision made for the last Nex-

us phones. It’s a more natural posi-

tion, and the reader is so snappy that

you’re rarely left to linger on the read-

er for long.

While HTC built the phone, Google

completely designed it. It doesn’t have

an ultra-slim, ultra sleek design, but it

feels like more of a high-end phone

thanks to its high-quality materials and

how they sit in hand.

I haven’t had the phone quite long

enough to make a good determination

of its battery, apart to say that it eas-

ily lasts me through a day of normal

use and doesn’t eat up as quickly, even

during testing. The phone also charges

very quickly, which is a serious point in

its favor, especially when traveling.

But the real point of the Pixel

seems to be to show off the full extent

of its system and its fancy new soft-

ware. The phone will get the latest up-

dates of Google’s software first, and

come out of the box with the compa-

ny’s latest system, Android Nougat.

Google’s Assistant shows a lot

of promise, providing much of the

same information and features as

Siri in a smoother and more conver-

sational style. It isn’t perfect, but it is

impressive - especially for a first try

at creating an artificial intelligence

assistant.

There are many things I like to ask

Assistant that it simply cannot yet do,

particularly when it comes to inter-

acting with third-party services. But if

Google’s aim was to replace its search

bar with the voice-controlled Assistant,

it’s well on its way to doing that given

how well Assistant follows basic con-

versation.

If I had to pick some downsides,

I’d say that the camera is not always

quite as crisp as competitors, particu-

larly when it comes to taking portraits

-- though, as I said, the camera is very

good overall.

Also, it would be nice to have this

phone be waterproof. Waterproof-

ing is really a phone feature that

people probably don’t realise they

want until it’s too late. And if you’re

putting down the cash for the Pix-

el, it’s probably an investment you

want to protect.

Sure, the Pixel may not be a flashy

buy, and lacks some of the high-end

gloss of a top Android phone such as

the Samsung S7 edge.

But it hits the basics very well, and

its performance and overall design

show that Google may finally be seri-

ous about becoming a viable Android

phone manufacturer on its own. If it

is, the Pixel is an excellent first step in

that direction.

The real point of the Pixel seems to be to show off the full extent of its system and its fancy new software. The phone will get the latest updates of Google’s software first, and come out of the box with the company’s latest system, Android Nougat.

Waterproofing is really a phone feature that people probably don’t realise they want until it’s too late. And if you’re putting down the cash for the Pixel, it’s probably an investment you want to protect.
