Your password could be written all over your face with selfie security
By Jonnelle Marte The Washington Post
The selfie is about to get serious. Already
ubiquitous at parties and for captur-
ing Instagram- worthy landscapes, the
act of raising a phone to your face and
finding the perfect photo angle could take on
a whole new role in people’s finances. Some
banks, tax agencies and tech companies are
making the selfie an integral step for people
checking their bank accounts, shopping online
and filing tax returns.
Forced to find creative ways to guard against
the rising threat of identity theft, a growing
number of companies are moving from a sys-
tem that tests people on what they know, such
as a password.
Now they want to ask consumers to pro-
vide evidence of something that can’t easily be
changed or copied: their face.
“In our opinion, the password is dying,” said
Tom Shaw, vice president of enterprise security
at financial services firm USAA.
The company now lets customers use a self-
ie instead of a password to log in to their mo-
bile banking apps. Customers only need to
choose the facial recognition option when they
open the app, hold the phone up to their face
and blink. It’s much easier for some consumers
to take a quick picture than it is to ask them to
remember yet another username and password,
Shaw says.
A photo also can serve as a way for consum-
ers to offer proof that it was indeed them — and
not an imposter —who made that purchase or
submitted that form.
For instance, MasterCard plans to roll out
a service nicknamed “Selfie Pay” this summer
through its member banks. Through the pro-
gramme, consumers would shop online as usual
and after checking out, they would confirm the
purchase by taking a selfie with a MasterCard
mobile app.
And Georgia will roll out a pilot programme
for the next tax season at the end of the year
that gives taxpayers the option of creating a se-
cure account where they verify their identities
by taking a photo. If there is a match, taxpayers
will be asked take a photo on their smartphones
before their tax returns can be processed, en-
suring the return was not submitted by a fraud-
ster.
The growing use of facial recognition, how-
ever, raises a series of security and privacy con-
cerns. One obvious vulnerability is that it is not
that difficult to find out what someone looks like.
“Everyone has your face,” says Alvaro Bedoya,
the executive director of Georgetown Law’s
Center on Privacy and Technology. “So it is a
mode of authentication that is inherently public.”
To overcome that risk, the companies are re-
quiring selfies that are a little different than the
ones you might see on Facebook.
After finding the right angle, consumers are
asked to move around to confirm that the cam-
era is capturing a live person and not a photo.
In the MasterCard and USAA programmes,
users are told when to blink. Georgia’s tax pro-
gramme will prompt people to position their
faces a certain way and scan for motion.
The photos are typically not the only safety
measure, serving instead as the second or third
method of authentication.
USAA, for example, says that it checks not
only the photo, but also for the device being
used to access the account. That means a crim-
inal should not be able to log in from anoth-
er phone that isn’t already registered with their
systems, Shaw said. For the tax programme,
Georgia will compare the selfies consumers sub-
mit to the photos it has in its database of state
driver’s licenses.
Privacy advocates fear that if companies
misuse the photos, it could lead to situations
where people are instantly identified when they
walk into stores or while they are walking down
the street. Some of that is already happening.
Several states allow law-enforcement agen-
cies to use facial recognition to search, or re-
quest searches, of driver’s license databas-
es when they need help identifying people for
investigations. Some retailers have used the
technology to recognise regular or problemat-
ic shoppers.

“It is a basic human freedom
to be able to walk outside and be
anonymous and be private,” said
Bedoya. “If you can no longer be a
face in the crowd, that’s a problem.”
But some of the companies and
agencies introducing facial-recogni-
tion programmes say they are only
using the images to verify custom-
ers’ identities.
They also say they are protecting
consumers by not storing the imag-
es. MasterCard, for instance, said it
converts the initial photo users take
when they set up their accounts into
a series of 1s and 0s that cannot be
used to recreate a person’s face. US-
AA says the biometric information is
encrypted and wiped if a customer
hasn’t logged in for a while.
And MorphoTrust USA, the com-
pany providing the technology for
the facial recognition pilot in Georgia
and a potential one in North Caroli-
na, said that after a person’s identity
is confirmed, the photos taken will
not be stored on the state’s servers.
Still, some of the hiccups con-
sumers may face are much more ba-
sic. For example, it is not clear how
well the apps will hold up in cases
where people’s faces actually have
changed — say because they gained
weight, started wearing glasses or
grew a beard.
USAA says their app has worked
after such minor changes, but re-
minds users that they could always
switch to another method of au-
thentication. And MorphoTrust USA
says that its technology will scan for
features that are unlikely to change
much over time, such as the shape
of a person’s eyes.
Whether most consumers will
go along with the new selfie pro-
grammes has yet to be seen. The
parties introducing facial recogni-
tion and other biometric options
cite convenience and security when
pitching the technology.
The process relies on smart-
phones that many consumers al-
ready have in hand. And because
these apps are scanning only for the
most basic characteristics of a per-
son’s face, none of the typical traits
required of selfies — such as perfect
hairstyles — are needed.
Some consumers may welcome
the added measure. Greater ac-
cess to consumers’ personal details
has made it easier for criminals to
take out loans in their names, go on
shopping sprees or file fraudulent
tax returns. About 17.6 million Amer-
icans were victims of identity theft in
2014, meaning they had their bank
account, credit card or other per-
sonal information stolen, according
to the most recent data from the
Department of Justice.
The selfie offers a simple way
to help them combat that kind of
fraud, the companies say.
In some cases, taking a pho-
to can also offer an alternative to a
more complicated process. For in-
stance, Georgia says for some tax-
payers who need to provide more
information before their tax re-
funds are paid, taking a selfie could
be easier and faster than calling or
mailing in a form.
“We’re getting to a place where
we can really start using our identi-
ties as a key, or as a way to protect
ourselves,” said Mark DiFraia, senior
director of market development at
MorphoTrust USA.
Consumers may also find they
have options beyond facial recog-
nition when it comes to confirming
their identities. For instance, USAA
customers who want to use biomet-
rics to log into the mobile app can
either scan a thumbprint — the most
popular option — snap a photo or
use voice recognition. About 13 per-
cent of its 11 million members have
opted to use the biometric log-in as
of early April.
MasterCard users who do not
want to take a photo can use the
app to scan a fingerprint.
Those alternatives may come in
handy for people facing a potential
security threat from someone very
close to them: their identical twin.
For that subset of the popula-
tion who knows someone with a
face that looks just like their own, it
may be safer to pass on the selfie
option and go with fingerprint veri-
fication instead, says Catherine Mur-
chie, senior vice president of enter-
prise security solutions at Master-
Card.
Otherwise, that twin could end
up going on a nice shopping spree.
PEC team enters Qatar Debate finalCAMPUS
Pakistan Education Centre (PEC)
is working for the core purpose
of academic excellence as well
as helping its students develop
lifelong skills in all aspects of their per-
sonality grooming. The school offers
the best learning environment for edu-
cation and provides ample chances for
the students to flourish in co-curricular
activities. Qatar Debate is the platform
worth mentioning in this regard where
PEC students have proved their met-
tle by winning team positions as well
as ranking at top speakers throughout
the competitions in the last few years
arranged by Qatar Debate.
Likewise, for the term 2015-2016,
three teams of Girls’ Wing represented
PEC in 1st and 2nd QSDL tournaments
of league 2016. Team 1 and Team 2
of PEC remained invincible through-
out the tournaments and won top two
team positions.
PEC debating teams sustained first-
rate performance in 2nd QSDL tourna-
ments as well as its all three teams
qualified for Nationals. First time ever
in Qatar debates, any school in Doha
achieved an honour of having its three
teams qualified for Nationals held at
the completions of two league tourna-
ments.
Team 1 comprising of Mahnor Sha-
hid, Zuha Sattar, Ambreen Riaz. Team 2
Mahnoor Akbar, Arooj Haroon, Ramee-
sha Khan. Team 3 Sabar Meena, Naw-
al Sarfarz, and Maryam Nadeem, con-
tested exceptionally well in two tour-
naments and Team PEC seized first
league position by winning Champi-
on trophy of Qatar Schools Debate
League 2015-16.
Adding more to its victory one of
PEC debating teams represented by
Ayisha Farooq, Arooj Haroon and Ram-
eesha Khan won all rounds in nationals
and made it to the Final to be played
today. In the face of all these achieve-
ments, the momentous aspect is that-
the team PEC also notched 3 individ-
ual positions among the top 10 de-
baters, the promising student of PEC,
Zuha Sattar ranked the top speaker in
the QSDL 1st and 2nd tournaments for
the fall 2015-16 amongst all the speak-
ers of both the leagues.
She was awarded with medal, cer-
tificate whereas, Mahnoor Shahid
grabbed 6th position ,Ambreen Riaz
secured 7th postion ,also awarded
with medals and certificates.
Naheed Nadeem, Riffat Tahir, Za-
ibun NissaKazi, Razia Sardar, were the
mentors and adjudicators for the par-
ticipating teams.
The incredible success of the PEC
debating team was hailed and much-
admired by the Principal Nargis Raza
Otho, all VPS and faculty members.
The future holds such more amaz-
ing and wonderful opportunities.

Qatar Shell adds value to Qatar and its people
For young Qatari graduates, the
energy sector offers both an ex-
cellent opportunity for career
progression, and also the opportunity
to add value to the state of Qatar.
As a Business Administration un-
dergraduate studentat Carnegie Mel-
lon University in Qatar, Hassan Al Mulla
(pictured) had aspired to have a ca-
reer at Qatar Shell. Upon graduation,
and after a brief role in the telecom-
munications industry, he realised that
the oil and gas industry, and in partic-
ular Qatar Shell, offered the career op-
portunities that he was looking for.
“Qatar Shell enjoyed a distinguished
reputation at Carnegie Mellon and was
highly recommended by faculty mem-
bers as an employer that offers unique
development opportunities for gradu-
ates.” says Al Mulla.
Al-Mulla joined Qatar Shell’s Fi-
nance Graduate Programme — devel-
oped specifically to ensure integrat-
ed learning through role rotation — in
May 2014.
Hassan started
as a Planning & Ap-
praisal analyst for
the Qatar Shell Re-
search & Technolo-
gy Centre (QSRTC)
in the Qatar Science
and Technology Park
(QSTP). A year lat-
er, he moved to the
Production Sharing
Agreement Account-
ing (PSA) team. As
an analyst, he deliv-
ered the finance in-
duction to all new em-
ployees joining Qatar Shell, led the in-
teraction with Qatar Petroleum’s audit
team, as well as monitored costs.
Hassan has recently become the
first Qatari to graduate from the Fi-
nance Graduate Programme which
began back in 2014.
Having progressed from the formal
development programme, he joined
Finance in the Business (FIB) depart-
ment and became the sole senior fi-
nance advisor for Production, Offshore
Operations including Wells and Logis-
tics. He is now responsible for manag-
ing and controlling approximately 1/3
of the operational budget for Pearl
GTL. “Qatar Shell is one of the best or-
ganisations in which to develop pro-
fessionally as a graduate and fulfil your
potential,” said Hassan.
Al Mulla is one of 300 Qatari staff
holding technical and commercial po-
sition at all levels of Qatar Shell, which
continues to positively impact Qatar
through the training and development
of Qatari nationals.
“I am proud to be part of an organ-
isation that nurtures Qatari talent and
supports its growth, while making real
contributions to my country, because
at Qatar Shell we impact Qatar togeth-
er,” he adds.

What to make for the mom who deserves breakfast in bedEllie Krieger The Washington Post
Besides aiming to hit what I
call the cooking “sweet spot,”
where delicious and health-
ful meet, I also have my sights
set on the convergence of exciting and
easy. Once in a while I will use a spe-
cialty ingredient to get there, but most-
ly because ease means not having to
hunt down hard-to-find ingredients,
my goal is to pull together ordinary, in-
expensive groceries in interesting new
ways.
The accompanying recipe hits the
mark perfectly. You most likely already
have its key components on hand: eggs,
tomatoes, frozen spinach, Parmigiano-
Reggiano cheese. But here, those sta-
ples are transformed into something
that feels truly special and luxurious.
First, the tomatoes are hollowed
out to become beautiful, edible serving
cups. Their flavourful juices are strained
and used to lend moisture and dimen-
sion to the creamy sauce for the spin-
ach. That sauce, made with sauteed
shallot, the tomato water, low-fat milk
thickened with flour, and the cheese,
clings decadently to the spinach, turn-
ing the homey vegetable, healthfully,
into a delightfully rich treat.
Once the creamed spinach is piled
into the tomato cups, each is topped
with an egg and a sprinkling of the
cheese, then baked until the egg is set
and the tomato is warmed through.
The result is both stunning and satis-
fying — ideal to serve for Mother’s Day
brunch. Hitting the sweet spot where
delicious, healthful, easy and exciting
all meet, it’s just what this mom wish-
es for.
Eggs Florentine in Tomato Cups
4 servings
This recipe transforms everyday in-
gredients into a dish that feels tru-
ly special and luxurious. Tomatoes are
hollowed out to become beautiful, ed-
ible serving cups, partially filled with a
healthful yet decadent-tasting quick
creamed spinach. Then each is finished
with an egg and cheese, and baked un-
til set and melted. The result is stunning
and satisfying, a perfect treat for a spe-
cial breakfast or brunch.
MAKE AHEAD: The tomatoes and
creamed spinach may be covered (sep-
arately) and refrigerated several hours
in advance. You may have a few ta-
blespoons of the creamed spinach left
over, depending on the size of your to-
matoes.
From nutritionist and cookbook au-
thor Ellie Krieger.
Ingredients
4 very large tomatoes (8 to 12 ounc-
es each)
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus 2 tea-
spoons more for brushing
1/4 cup minced shallots
1 tablespoon flour
3/4 cup low-fat milk (1 percent)
One 10-ounce package frozen/de-
frosted spinach, squeezed of all excess
liquid, then chopped (even if the frozen
spinach was already chopped)
1 ounce (1/3 cup) finely grated Par-
migiano-Reggiano cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black
pepper
4 large eggs, at room temperature
Steps
Cut off the top of each tomato so
you’ll be able to scoop out the contents.
(You can discard the stems, cut up the
tops and add them to the tomato flesh,
if you like.) Use a melon baller to re-
move the insides of the tomatoes (re-
serve the tomato flesh), making sure
to leave the shell of the tomato thick
enough to form a sturdy cup.
Place the tomato insides into a fine-
mesh strainer set over a bowl. Strain
out and discard the seeds, and reserve
1/4 cup of the tomato water. Discard
the tomato flesh or reserve for anoth-
er use (such as a fresh tomato sauce).
Brush the outsides of the 4 hol-
lowed-out tomatoes with 2 teaspoons
of the oil. Place them on a parchment-
paper-lined baking sheet.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Heat the remaining tablespoon
of oil in a medium skillet over medi-
um heat. Once the oil shimmers, stir in
the shallots; cook for about 2 minutes
or until they are translucent, then add
the flour and stir for 30 to 45 seconds.
Whisk in the milk and the reserved 1/4
cup of tomato water; once the mixture
starts to bubble, cook for 3 or 4 min-
utes, until it has thickened.
Add the spinach and cook for 1
to 2 minutes, stirring, to form a thick,
creamy sauce. Stir in half of the Par-
migiano-Reggiano cheese and the salt
and pepper. Turn off the heat.
Fill each tomato cup about halfway
with the creamed spinach, forming a
well in the centre of the spinach and
pushing the spinach all the way up the
inner sides of the tomatoes. Be sure to
leave enough room in each tomato cup
for an egg.
Working with one at a time, crack
each egg into a small bowl, then care-
fully slip it into the center of a spinach
well. Sprinkle with the remaining Par-
migiano-Reggiano cheese. Bake for 18
to 22 minutes or until the egg whites
are just set, the yolks still seem runny
and the cheese has melted.
Serve warm.

FASHION
By Sarah Halzack The Washington Post
This time of year, it’s common
to see the racks at apparel
stores brimming with clothes in
springy floral prints. But set foot
into Lord & Taylor this season, and you
might notice that they’re going particu-
larly heavy on one flower: The rose. The
retailer has ordered up a big roster of
rose-emblazoned pieces, many of them
exclusives from labels like Karl Lagerfeld
Paris and Calvin Klein, that are meant to
cater to the contemporary, trend-con-
scious shopper it is eager to lure into its
stores. In addition dresses and blouses,
they’ve lined up offbeat items like rose-
flavoured gummy candies and rose-
shaped temporary tattoos. And in some
stores, the products will be featured in
a shop-in-shop it calls The Birdcage.
It’s a major merchandising and mar-
keting effort that executives hope will
serve two purposes: To telegraph a
fresh, contemporary direction for the
old-school department store with-
out alienating the loyal shoppers who
might fondly remember that the rose
was a staple of Lord & Taylor marketing
from 1946 until it was phased out over
the last 20 years. Lord & Taylor’s conun-
drum — that it needs to secure its fu-
ture by hooking younger customers but
can’t afford to evolve so much it puts
off existing ones — is a universal one in
the world of department store retailing.
And the rose campaign, in many ways,
typifies the various tacks that the wid-
er retail industry is taking to revitalise
brands that have become stale.
And yet some experts are skepti-
cal that the effort will do much to move
the needle on sales and foot traffic, per-
haps a reflection of how difficult it is to
get this kind of balancing act right.
To understand what Lord & Taylor is
trying to do with the rose campaign, it
helps to know the role the flower plays
in the department store’s history. It was
first used for marketing by former Lord
& Taylor president Dorothy Shaver, who
was something of a retailing pioneer as
a rare female executive in 1940’s and
50’s Manhattan. (A 1945 Time magazine
article dubbed her the “Fifth Avenue’s
First Lady.”)
Shaver began using the American
Beauty rose in the store’s marketing to
convey sophistication and elegance. To-
day’s Lord & Taylor president, Liz Rod-
bell, said she wanted to that put an up-
dated spin on that history.
Enter the “Free Spirit” rose, a varie-
tal that is different from the tradition-
al red ones we envision in a bouquet.
Free Spirit roses are more of an golden,
orange-pink colour — and, important-
ly, the name sounds young and adven-
turous. This is the rose that you’ll see
in Lord & Taylor catalogs and market-
ing materials.
The idea behind the campaign — to
harken back to the company’s heritage
as a way to give it a patina of unique-
ness and cool — is a tactic retailers
across all price points are turning to
right now based on the belief that mil-
lennials will respond to this kind of sto-
rytelling. Coach, for example, recent-
ly debuted a new marketing campaign
that highlights that it is a 75-year-old
company that was among America’s
first leather makers. The handbag mak-
er has also brought back some of its
hit purses from the 1970s and 80s to
remind shoppers of its history. Jos. A.
Bank, meanwhile, has launched a 1905
collection , pieces it says are meant to
be something of an homage to the sur-
prisingly long history of a brand that
people largely associate with the shop-
ping-mall era. But experts said this par-
ticular effort by Lord & Taylor might not
end up hitting its mark.
“I’m not sure that they’re leveraging
something the consumer is really aware
of,” said David Zietsma, a strategist at
retail consultancy Jackman Reinvents.
In other words, the story of the
rose may be so obscure and unfamiliar
to young shoppers, it may be hard for
them to even understand the collection
as an ode to history and heritage.
Ken Morris, a principal at Boston Re-
tail Partners and former Lord & Taylor
vice president, was also unconvinced
that younger fashionistas would be
lured by the rose imagery. But, he said,
“I think the main draw for millennials
that underlies this story is the thematic
pop-up shop.”
By that, he means it could prove
to be a smart move to sell this mer-
chandise in The Birdcage shop-in-shop,
which is meant to mimic the vibe of a
curated boutique. This, too, is some-
thing other department stores are ex-
ploring with in their quest for millenni-
al shoppers: Nordstrom has been add-
ing Topshop shop-in-shops in its stores,
and JCPenney has been adding Sepho-
ra boutiques within its sprawling de-
partment stores. Macy’s, meanwhile,
hosted a pop-up shop by handmade
goods e-commerce site Etsy in its Her-
ald Square flagship.
And then there’s the merchandise
itself. Lord & Taylor worked to get de-
signers to make exclusive pieces em-
bodying the rose theme. There’s a pair
of red-and-white espadrilles from Fran-
co Sarto, for example, and a white rose-
printed shoulder bag from Karl Lager-
feld Paris.
Indeed, as department stores seek
to be distinctive in a highly competi-
tive shopping environment, having ex-
clusive product has become a weap-
on of choice. Stores such as JCPenney
and Target have each been building
strategies under their new chief exec-
utives that lean heavily on beefing up
in-house brands or securing exclusive
products from well-known brands as a
way to stand out from the pack.
It’s hard to know exactly how urgent
it is for Lord & Taylor to reinvent itself.
It is owned by Canadian retailing giant
Hudson’s Bay Co, which also owns Saks
Fifth Avenue, Saks Off Fifth, and Hud-
son’s Bay, a department store chain in
Canada. The parent company does not
break out Lord & Taylor’s sales; it re-
ports them as part of a combined busi-
ness segment that includes the Hud-
son’s Bay chain. That division has lately
posted solid sales growth, in the most
recent quarter recording a 4 percent
increase in sales at stores open more
than a year.
Lord & Taylor is going retro.
Will millennials be into it?

The Peninsula
Today Ramona Suarez spends
most of her free time sitting on
the floor of her Doha flat play-
ing with her one-year-old son,
Hans Immanuel. The young mother,
who describes herself as God-fear-
ing and optimist, says that while her
thoughts are most often focused on
the future, the time she spent as a pa-
tient at Hamad General Hospital (HGH)
is never far from her mind.
In January 2013, Suarez was diag-
nosed with gastric cancer after being
rushed to the Emergency Department
with severe stomach pain. After several
tests confirmed that the then 28-year-
old Filipina had Stage 3 signet ring cell
carcinoma, doctors recommended a
total gastrectomy — surgical removal
of the entire stomach.
Stomach cancer, or gastric can-
cer, develops in the lining of the stom-
ach. Diagnosis can be difficult as ini-
tial symptoms, such as persistent indi-
gestion and heartburn, feeling bloated
and stomach pain, are often dismissed
for less serious conditions.
“About a month before I was rushed
to the emergency I began feeling
lightheaded and experienced faint-
ing spells. I had unexplained stomach
aches and my stools were black in col-
our. My primary care doctor diagnosed
me with a bleeding ulcer,” said Suarez.
Within days of being rushed to the
Emergency Department, Suarez, who
works as a procurement executive, was
scheduled for a total gastrectomy. Her
doctors advised her that recovery from
surgery would be lengthy and that she
would need to make dietary and life-
style changes.
“Having doctors who could explain
the medical details of the procedure
in a clear, simple way was important,”
said Suarez. “I must express my grat-
itude to this healthcare institution for
not just treating me as a patient, but
for also providing me with a holistic
service.”
Suarez’s surgery was the first total
gastrectomy performed in Qatar and
she credits her doctors and nurses
with saving her life.
“My doctors and nurses were com-
passionate, professional and knowl-
edgeable. Words cannot express how
thankful I am. I am thankful to God
because he led me on the right path,”
Suarez added.
Following two weeks in hospital,
Suarez was released but continued
treatment as an outpatient, undergo-
ing a series of adjuvant chemoradio-
therapy, a combination of chemother-
apy and radiotherapy.
Recovery from a total gastrectomy
is difficult. It takes time to adjust to the
loss of the stomach and a determined
effort and dietary changes are re-
quired. Suarez said recovery demands
mental and physical strength.
“I made a commitment to live
healthy and to live for today. No one
knows what will happen tomorrow.
Having cancer changes your life, but it
is not the end. Be hopeful always. Mir-
acles do happen,” added Suarez.
Today Suarez is cancer free. The
young mother, who has lived in Qatar
for almost seven years, will undergo
regular checkups for the rest of her life.
She said her doctors and nurses were
a major factor in her survival.
“The doctors and nurses at HMC
gave more than the required care.
From the moment I woke up from my
surgery they were by my side. Their ac-
tions really touched my heart. Their
dedication, and their passion, is some-
thing you cannot place a monetary val-
ue on.”

A false choice between Iron Man and Captain America
By Sonny Bunch The Washington Post
As part of the marketing for “Captain Ameri-
ca: Civil War,” fans have been asked to pick
sides. Are you #TeamCap and opposed to ef-
forts to put superheroes under some kind
of governmental oversight? Or #TeamIronMan and in
favour of the Sokovia Accords backed by Tony Stark
(Robert Downey Jr.) and American Secretary of State
Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt), which would place
the Avengers under control of a United Nations panel?
If one were to choose solely from the comic
book event from which “Captain America: Civil War”
draws its name, the choice would be a no-brain-
er: All right-thinking people are #TeamIronMan. In
the series — which is legitimately dreadful and bor-
derline incomprehensible, as most such comic book
crossover events tend to be — a team of superhe-
roes filming a reality TV show attacks a team of su-
pervillains hiding out in the suburbs.
In the course of the battle, hundreds of kids are
killed, and the public, angry about years of collater-
al damage, finally demands that costumed vigilantes
be subject to some sort of accountability. (DC Comics’
Kingdom Come series tells a very similar, far superior
version of this story, by the way.)
Congress swiftly passes an act requiring all would-
be superheroes to register with, and work with, the
Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and
Logistics Division (SHIELD). Since they’re effective-
ly government agents — or, at least, operating un-
der the auspices of a government agency — Iron Man
hoped “the kids, the amateurs, and the sociopaths
are getting weeded out.” Though Captain Ameri-
ca throws a hissy fit about it, Stark and the govern-
ment’s plan strikes as relatively noncontroversial: You
shouldn’t be operating under the colour of law to up-
hold order if you’re not, you know, authorised to do
so.
The movie takes this basic idea and makes it all a
bit more complicated (and, therefore, more interest-
ing). Following a series of catastrophic battles featur-
ing massive amounts of collateral damage — the in-
vasion of New York in “Avengers”; mass destruction
outside Washington in “Captain America: The Win-
ter Soldier”; the carnage in Sokovia in “The Age of Ul-
tron”; and the killing of a number of civilians in La-
gos at the start of “Captain America: Civil War” — the
world has decided it has had enough. More than 100
nations sign on to the Sokovia Accords, which would
place the Avengers under the auspices of the Unit-
ed Nations.
Stark, fresh off a tongue-lashing from a State De-
partment employee who lost her son in Sokovia and
still suffering from no small amount of guilt for hav-
ing created Ultron in the first place, backs the plan.
Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) is unim-
pressed by the Accords and refuses to sign on, sug-
gesting that the team is better equipped to decide
when and where it should act. More important, he
criticises the panel that would be governing them,
suggesting it would be prone to political pressures
and not the general welfare (again, as Cap and com-
pany define it).
The movie doesn’t really get into this, but Cap’s
objection in the film — what authority does the UN
have to regulate us? — raises a deeper philosophical
question than his objection in the comics (which boils
down to, “Masked heroes have been a part of this
country for as long as anyone can remember,” right
before he assaults a dozen SHIELD agents). He’s ask-
ing us to consider whether the UN has a legitimate
monopoly on force.
The so-called “monopoly on violence” is a foun-
dational aspect of the state, as a concept; Max We-
ber used it to define what a state actually was, as
Encyclopedia Britannica notes. Tony Stark is right
insofar as the Avengers operating as a highly le-
thal power around the world sans oversight or state
sanction — any state sanction — is an unacceptable
position. Steve Rogers goes out of his way to prove
Stark correct by acting like a loose cannon through-
out the film: protecting a wanted terrorist from cap-
ture and instigating a battle that destroys a major
airport.
But Rogers’ implicit rejection of the UN as the fi-
nal arbiter of when the most powerful peacekeep-
ers in the world should go to work isn’t unreasona-
ble either.
If one were to choose solely from the comic book event from which “Captain America: Civil War” draws its name, the choice would be a no-brainer.

Working with Ilayaraja fun: Kamal Haasan
Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan, who has collab-
orated with composer Ilayaraja after a decade
for upcoming trilingual “Sabaash Naidu”, says
it’s always fun working with the maestro. “Working
with Raja fun as ever. Ready to trod the untrodden.
Looking forward to that date. When TN meets LA
District 78 of LA (sic),” Haasan wrote on his Twitter
page.
The film, a spin-off of the popular character Bal-
ram Naidu from 2010 Tamil comedy “Dasavatharama,
marks the return of Haasan as the RAW operative. To
be directed by T K Rajeev Kumar, the film will go on
the floors on May 16 in the US.
Also starring Shruti Haasan, Ramya Krishnan,
Brahmanandam, Saurabh Shukla and Ananth Ma-
hadevan, the film will be simultaneously made in
Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.
Celebrities don’t impress me: Sonam Kapoor
By Uma Ramasubramanian IANS
Actress Sonam Kapoor, who is gearing up
for the 69th Cannes Film Festival, says she
doesn’t get “starstruck” by other celebrities
at the red carpet. “It doesn’t matter which
part of the world you are from whether you are white,
brown or black everybody is the same so I don’t get
starstruck unless I really respect the person,” Sonam
said. “If I meet Barbra Streisand or someone like that
then I will be star struck or else just celebrities don’t
impress me,” she added.
Asked if she gets intimidated by western stars
walking the red carpet, Sonam said: “I am so tall so
when I walk, it’s completely different because I wear
really high platform heels. So, I think it’s very difficult
for anyone to intimidate me because they are like so
small but I don’t get intimidated by people because
people are just people”. The actress who has been el-
egantly blending the Indo-Western look at Cannes re-
frained from talking about her look at this year’s fes-
tival. However, she said that her ensemble will have
“some Indian element”.
“What I will be wearing that I don’t know yet... It’s a
secret. But I am the proudest Indian you will ever see. I
love India and I love everything that’s Indian, so even if
I don’t want an Indian designer, there will always be an
inspiration. I will have some Indian element which rep-
resents India,” the “Neerja” actress said.
The 30-year-old mentioned that she doesn’t like to
take stress before walking the red carpet.
“It’s always better to not be stressed. If I was really
as stressed about what people think about what I am
going to wear, then I don’t think I would be recognised
for my fashion,” she said.
“The very reason I started getting recognised as
fashionable was that I just was out there and wore
what I wanted to and people appreciated that. That’s
when this whole revolution of fashion started,” the
“Prem Ratan Dhan Payo” star added.
Jacqueline does tap dance in ‘Housefull 3’
Actress Jacqueline Fernandez will be seen
doing a tap dance in “Housefull 3” for the
song “Taang uthake”. Choreographed by
Ganesh Acharya, the song was unveiled
on Friday evening. It is a peppy number and the
star cast of the film will be seen shaking a leg to
its groovy beats.
“It’s a fun, foot-tapping number. This is the first
time I have done tap dancing. Our choreographer
Ganesh sir taught me the sequence on the spot
and I really enjoyed it. It’s definitely going to be a
treat for ‘Housefull’ fans,” Jacqueline said.
Directed by Sajid Farhad, “Housefull 3” fea-
tures a multiple star cast including Akshay Kumar,
Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacque-
line, Nargis Fakhri and Lisa Haydon.
The film is set to release on June 3.
Meanwhile, superstar Akshay Kumar, whose
bodyguard recently punched a fan, said that while
it was wrong to raise hand on someone, it was im-
portant to pay attention to the fans’ strange be-
haviour sometimes.
“I agree that raising hand on someone is wrong,
but you have to pay attention to them (fans), and
they (bodyguards) have been seeing those things,”
said Akshay when asked about the incident at the
launch of song “Taang Uthaake” from film “House-
full 3”.

SCIENCE
Mercury is about to pass in front of the
sun, and it should be incredible to watch
By Rachel Feltman The Washington Post
It happens around 13 times a centu-
ry: From our perspective, Mercury —
the smallest planet in our solar sys-
tem — will pass in front of the sun
today. Most of the world, including the
United States, will be able to see the
planet as a tiny black dot passing slow-
ly in front of its host star. You shouldn’t
stare directly into the sun (ouch), but
by watching online or using a telescope
with a special filter, you can see Mercu-
ry in all its tiny glory.
If you have your own telescope, you
can watch the event using a safety fil-
ter to protect your eyes from the sun. If
you don’t have a filter handy, you can
use a sheet of paper to rig up a safe
viewing method - you can project the
image of the sun (in the form of a white
disk) onto a sheet of paper, then watch
the black dot of Mercury crawl across
it. You can also check out Nasa’s web-
sites and social media accounts for live
image updates. If you live near an ob-
servatory or science centre, you should
check out their plans — you may be
able to pop in and take a peek on their
telescope.
But why should you care? Because
it’s a very special event for a very cool
little planet.
Mercury has an orbital period of
just 88 days, making it by far the fast-
est orbiter in the solar system. And
while Mercury is orbiting, so are we —
at a completely different pace. So for
our planets to line up just so for us to
see the other world sweep over the sun
is an uncommon event. This is the first
Mercurian transit since 2006, and we
won’t see another until 2019.
Wait, you say — that’s a lot of tran-
sits to have in just over a decade. How
do we average out at just 13 for eve-
ry 100 years? Mercury passes between
the Earth and the sun every 116 days,
but its orbital plane is skewed away
from our own by a few degrees. It or-
bits the sun on a tilted trajectory, by our
perspective. So its intersection with our
orbit has to happen when it’s also in-
tersecting with our orbital plane. That
combination of factors makes for some
pretty wonky math: There’s a pattern to
the frequency of Mercury’s transits, but
it’s not as simple as “every x number of
years.” It’s more like “every x number of
years for awhile, then y, then z, then y
again, and then z three times because
why the heck not.” Orbital resonance is
weird.
Venus — the only other planet be-
tween us and the sun, so also the on-
ly other planet that transits from our
perspective — orbits much more slow-
ly and on a plane slightly less skewed
than Mercury’s. Venusian transits are
more rare, but also a little easier to keep
track of: They happen in pairs separat-
ed by eight years, with each pair sep-
arated from the next by a century and
some change. If you missed the 2012
transit, you’re out of luck. The next one
isn’t coming until 2117.
Transits outside our own neighbour-
hood are pretty cool, too: We use the
transits of exoplanets in front of their
host stars to detect their presence, and
even to measure them and analyse
their atmospheres for signs of habita-
bility.
Now that we’ve got the orbital posi-
tions of our neighbouring planets down
pat, transits aren’t the grand scientific
opportunities they used to be.
“Scientifically, this was much more
important a few hundred years ago,”
Nancy Chabot, who served as lead im-
aging scientist for Nasa’s MErcury Sur-
face, Space ENvironment, GEochem-
istry, and Ranging mission (MESSEN-
GER), said. The MESSENGER spacecraft
wrapped up its mission last year when
it crashed down onto Mercury’s surface.
But scientists can still get some-
thing out of the transit. They’ll be able
to analyse Mercury’s scant atmosphere
— the thinnest in the entire solar sys-
tem — in the same way that scientists
use the passage of light through mol-
ecules in exoplanet atmospheres to
search for signs of life. They can even
use the event to calibrate instruments
on spacecraft, because the timing and
positioning of Mercury’s transit over the
sun’s surface is so reliable. Telescopes
can be pointed in the right direction
based on Mercury’s placement, and
some instruments can even correct
their vision based on the event.
“It’s like getting a cataract — you see
stars or halos around bright lights as
though you are looking through a misty
windshield,” Nasa scientist Dean Pes-
nell said in a statement. Mercury should
appear totally black against the sun’s
light, but the way instruments scatter
light may cause it to look slightly lit up.
Scientists can use the event to try to re-
tune those instruments to see Mercury
in its true colours, which could prevent
mishaps when observing more myste-
rious objects.
Chabot hopes the event will inspire
the public to look up into the sky and
think about our planetary neighbours.
On Friday, she and the rest of the MES-
SENGER team released the first ever
complete topographic map of Mercury.
“It’s really well-timed,” she said.
“People will be looking.”
Her team learned plenty of fasci-
nating things about Mercury during the
mission. Chabot said she “didn’t want
to pick favourites,” but found three fea-
tures to be particularly intriguing:
“One is that it’s got these giant areas
of volcanic lava that have flowed across
the surface in ancient times, which
takes up an area more than half the
size of the US. The epic volcanic events
that must have occurred to cause that
are intriguing,” she said.
Mercury also has features called
“hallows” that have never been seen an-
ywhere else. The small depressions ap-
pear to be spots where rocks — ones
unable to stand up to Mercury’s envi-
ronment — sublimate away like snow
on a warm day.
“Rocks don’t usually just disappear
into space, but they do on Mercury.”
Chabot said.
Chabot spent most of her time fo-
cusing on the water ice that forms at
Mercury’s north and south poles, which
are permanently shadowed. Finding it
there was great, she said, but it rais-
es new questions. How did it get there,
when, and what might it tell us about
how water found its way to Earth?
Most of the world, including the United States, will be able to see the planet as a tiny black dot passing slowly in front of its host star.
