Aspire Academy holds first parents meeting

Aspire Academy for Sports Ex-

cellence has recently held its

first parents meeting in the

New Academic Year 2016-

2017. During which, Aspire Academy’s

Deputy Director General Ali Salem

Afifa, and School Principal Jassem Al

Jaber welcomed parents and delivered

speeches addressing the Academy’s

latest developments, particularly their

recent awarding of the Accreditation

by the Council of International Schools.

After which, parents took part in

a lively discussion panel with depart-

ment representatives, followed by a

Q&A session. At the end of the night,

parents engaged in information dis-

cussions and snacks with the Acad-

emy’s teachers, coaches and other

staff.

Speaking on the occasion, Deputy

Director General of Aspire Academy

Ali Salem Afifa, said: “It’s important for

students to feel that they are getting

the support they have both at school

and at home, and we urge parents to

pay close attention to their children

when they’re home for the weekend.

Our student care providers, academ-

ic advisers, teachers and coaches al-

ways keen to address any concerns or

issues they wish to discuss with the

Academy’s staff. This meeting comes

in line with Aspire Academy’s contin-

uous effort to facilitate and develop

parent-teacher relationship.”

Abdulrahman Al Suwaidi, a par-

ent for one of the student-athletes,

praised Aspire Academy for the role

it plays in developing Qatar’s sport

portfolio, and said: “these meetings

help open the line of communication

between us parents and the school’s

teachers and coaches. Our children

spend most of their days at the Acad-

emy, which might make parents feel

left out of their academic progress.

These regular meetings, however, en-

able parents to be more involved in

student-athletes academic and ath-

letic development, as we are able to

inquire about any questions we might

have that’s related to their grades,

training schedules and athletic per-

formance. We are also able to plan

and keep track of their development

with their academic advisers, and ad-

dress any shortcomings with student

care services at the Academy.”

This new academic year 2016-

2017, which has a total number of 265

student-athletes, marked the first ac-

ademic year after receiving the Ac-

creditation by the Council of Interna-

tional Schools.

Student-athletes were accepted af-

ter successfully completing the elab-

orate Talent Identification process of

the Academy.

Will driverless cars really save millions of lives? By Michael Laris & Ashley Halsey III The Washington Post

President Barack Obama says

automated vehicles could

cut the yearly death toll on

US roads by tens of thou-

sands. His highway safety

chief talks about “a world where we

could potentially prevent or mitigate 19

of every 20 crashes on the road.” Uber

says self-driving cars “can help save

millions of lives” worldwide.

Their message is clear: Robots will

be better drivers than we are.

But despite the excitement and the

hype, top engineers and federal regu-

lators face a basic problem. They’re still

struggling with exactly how to com-

pare man (or woman) with machine.

“One of the hardest questions to an-

swer is, ‘How do these cars compare

to human drivers?’” Chris Urmson, then

the chief of Google’s self-driving car

project, told transportation engineers

in Washington, D.C., this year. “And

part of the reason why that’s hard is

we don’t actually have a good under-

standing of how good human drivers

really are.”

One problem is that the US gov-

ernment keeps no comprehensive da-

tabase of crashes. That complicates

what otherwise might seem to be a

simple task: figuring out which vehicles

are more likely to crash, human-driv-

en ones or those run by software and

sensors.

Researchers at the Virginia Tech

Transportation Institute, in a study

funded by Google, dug into the data

and discovered just how incomplete

the federal numbers are.

An annual national tally of crashes

relies heavily on those reported to po-

lice. It understates the actual total of

crashes with injuries by at least a quar-

ter and “property damage only” crash-

es by anywhere from 60 to 84 percent,

they concluded. And they consider

those numbers conservative, given the

mishmash of state reporting require-

ments and holes in the local data used

by federal agencies.

“It is crazy,” said Myra Blanco, a sen-

ior Virginia Tech researcher who was

lead author on the study. “We knew

there were going to be some discrep-

ancies” with other sources, but not that

many.

Many drivers prefer to keep crashes

off the books, either because they can’t

be bothered to report minor run-ins or

to avoid insurance premium hikes.

The researchers cited an earlier

federal analysis and telephone survey

for the lower-end estimates of the un-

derreporting.

A bigger shortfall was revealed by

in-car cameras that captured thou-

sands of motorists in the wild as part

of a major federal safety study. Even

though they had volunteered to coop-

erate — and be recorded — some of

those drivers failed to notify research-

ers when they crashed as they were

told to. “As human beings, we don’t

want people to think poorly of us,”

Blanco said.

But the cameras didn’t lie: 84 per-

cent of crashes weren’t reported to po-

lice. Based on general accident data,

Google’s self-driving cars appeared to

crash more often than cars operated

by humans. But once the underreport-

ing was factored in, they performed

better than people. The researchers al-

so noted that the self-driving cars were

not at fault in any of 11 crashes studied.

The small numbers made it statistically

tough to identify “true differences,” the

researchers said.

“We understand this is just direc-

tional, and we understand it’s not de-

finitive. But it’s exciting and interesting,”

said Urmson, a longtime driverless-car

leader who left Google this summer.

Police-reported crashes reached

6.3 million last year, according to US

figures, about half the number report-

ed to insurers. One federal study es-

timated 13.6 million total crashes in a

year; Virginia Tech used an upper esti-

mate of 29 million.

Google wants the National High-

way Traffic Safety Administration to cut

through the noise and create a com-

prehensive database or provide reli-

able sampling” in order to accurately

benchmark the performance of self-

driving vehicles.”

NHTSA chief Mark Rosekind said

this summer that “equivalency” be-

tween human and machine is far from

good enough. “We should not move

forward when automated vehicles are

just as safe — or really, as dangerous

— as human drivers. They need to be

much safer,” Rosekind told industry

leaders in San Francisco. He made it

clear that how much safer was enough

remains an open question: “Two times

safer? Five times? Ten times? And what

does ‘safer’ actually mean?”

Rosekind has been travelling the

country asking manufacturers, soft-

ware developers and safety experts

some version of the same question:

“What are the new safety metrics we

need to be using now? Do we count

by crashes? Do we count by fatalities?”

He also pressed for ways to “count

the lives saved” by the technology.

In policy guidance for tech and au-

to companies released last month, fed-

eral officials laid out a 15-point safety

assessment. Companies are asked to

describe where and under what con-

ditions their cars are designed to drive:

for instance, in daylight on dry roads or

in a particular city. Then they’re asked

to document how they know the cars

will be safe.

But officials didn’t set out actual

safety measurements, saying the fed-

eral government first needs to do more

research, including gaining real world

insights from the companies.

Coming up with “performance met-

rics” was put on the list of “follow-on

actions.”

Sceptics see this as a bad sign.

“It actually speaks volumes when an

agency says: ‘Help us. We don’t even

know how to measure you,’” said Mis-

sy Cummings, who heads Duke Univer-

sity’s Humans and Autonomy Lab and

has warned that self-driving cars have

been unleashed before being proved

safe. “That’s the job.”

Others called that an unfair swipe

at a federal effort to tap the expertise

of private industry in a fast-changing

area. Federal officials say they want to

avoid imposing half-cocked standards

that end up stymieing innovation. They

also say the regulator’s traditional job

description needs to be reexamined.

“There’s a tremendous power in har-

nessing this technology for good,” said

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.

Regulations will come later, as in-

dustry and the department learn more,

Foxx said. Although regulations in the

past have generally been put in place

after technologies have gone to mar-

ket, Foxx said, the department is trying

to shape safety on the front end.

“But you can only begin at the be-

ginning, and that’s where we are to-

day,” Foxx said.

Still, the question remains: How

will the government know when algo-

rithms are safer than humans? How

will companies know? And which hu-

mans are we actually talking about be-

ing better than?

“Twice as good as what? Twice as

good as a 16-year-old? Twice as good

as a 50-year-old?” asked Brandon

Schoettle of the University of Michigan

Transportation Research Institute. Who

you choose for the sake of comparison

“really makes a big difference,” Schoet-

tle said.

Complicating matters further, ex-

perience is just one of countless vari-

ables. Drunken drivers are involved in

about a third of all fatal crashes, for

example, dragging down the stats for

the rest of us. “If you’re an alert, atten-

tive, sober driver, your risk is really low.

You’re really good at avoiding crashes,”

said Tom Dingus, director of the Virgin-

ia Tech Transportation Institute. “It will

be difficult making automated vehicles

that are as good at avoiding crashes

as you are.”

Over 25 years, the average driver

will successfully step on the brakes 3

million times and smash into the car

ahead just once, Dingus said. Beating

that performance in all conditions will

be tougher than people think.

In the meantime, there will be a

range of designs and results, Dingus

said. That’s particularly true with par-

tially automated cars, in which the hu-

man driver is supposed to be ready to

take control at any moment.

“There’s likely to be good ones and

bad ones. There may be some that

actually increase crashes and not de-

crease them,” Dingus said.

Pioneering electric carmaker Tesla

has collected tens of millions of miles

of driving data from customers’ cars to

see how its semi-automated features

stack up. Tesla says human drivers

working with its “autopilot” technolo-

gy are safer than humans driving alone,

despite a crash death in May.

The company noted that one per-

son dies for every 89 million miles trav-

elled on US roads. “Autopilot miles will

soon exceed twice that number, and

the system gets better every day,” Tes-

la said. The company says “both the

frequency and severity of collisions”

should be part of any metrics evaluat-

ed by the government.

Whether or not they end up be-

ing required by law, “I think everybody

agrees there need to be metrics” and

effective tests to make sure driverless

cars are “really ready,” Dingus said.

For now, the lifesaving promise of

automation often gets boiled down to

a single statistic: 94 percent.

Obama, safety regulators, Google,

Tesla and Uber all cite the number.

It’s the share of US car crashes that,

as Obama put it, are “the result of hu-

man error or choice,” a catchall for the

combination of imperfections, idiocies

and tragic mistakes that hurt millions

every year. It’s a basis for the broad

safety claims made by industry and of-

ficials.

But knowing the depth of human

havoc on the road is just the beginning.

“It’s too simplistic to think that be-

cause 94 percent of crashes are

caused by human error, that taking the

human out of the equation is going to

eliminate 94 percent of the crashes,”

said David Zuby, chief research officer

at the Insurance Institute for Highway

Safety. Tracking actual safety gains will

be messy. For many years, humans

may do better in some areas while ro-

bots outperform them in others.

“You may just need to set up differ-

ent comparison groups and convince

yourself, ‘Maybe in this one compari-

son we’re not better than humans, but

look at all these areas where our crash

rates are better than humans,’” Zuby

said. And as cars with imperfect auto-

mation are turned loose on the roads,

which he finds likely, “it will be interest-

ing to see how many crashes they re-

ally eliminate. There isn’t really a good

way to know that without seeing it.”

Grand Hyatt hosts debut Qatar exhibition of Yannis Stylianides

Grand Hyatt Doha is hosting

“Rhapsodic Dreams” by the in-

ternationally acclaimed artist

Yannis Stylianides, under the

auspices of Yiorgos Lakkotrypis, the

Minister of Energy, Industry and Tour-

ism of Cyprus. This exciting exhibition

will be inaugurated byCharalambos

Panayides, the ambassador of Cyprus

in Qatar, on November 9, and will be

open to the public until December 10,

2016.

Born in Cyprus, Stylianides complet-

ed architectural studies in the United

States and returned to his homeland

to pursue his passion for creating art

that expresses his feelings, thoughts

and experiences. His parallel passion

for sculpting and painting can be seen

within the pieces chosen for “Rhapsod-

ic Dreams”, which are being displayed

for the first time in Doha.

Stylianides’ fascinating exploration

of new techniques and materials in his

creative process cascades onto his can-

vases and is etched in his sculptures.

One of his main goals is to create art

using original methods and distinctive

combinations of materials. This exhib-

it includes a series of paintings created

using a process he developed and calls

“constructive torching”, where he cre-

ates a composition of paints and then

uses a blowtorch to apply the paint to

wood, creating a three-dimensional

quality that allows the painting to be

seen from different angles.

The “Rhapsodic Dreams” exhibi-

tion will include a series of his signa-

ture sculpted wood panels depicting

plan views of cities, as well as several

other paintings on canvas using acryl-

ic paints. For the sculptures on display

in the exhibition, he explored the use

of reclaimed wood, completely trans-

forming it into beautiful works of art.

Stylianides’ art is housed in many

private and public collections in Cyprus,

the United States, the United King-

dom, Dubai, Italy, Monaco, France and

Greece. A painting from his “Cities” se-

ries has being featured in Saatchi Gal-

lery in London, while another is in the

collection of the CBC. Several of his

large paintings are installed in the main

lobby of the Hilton hotel in CY. The

prestigious Artnet Worldwide Corpora-

tion called his latest solo exhibition in

Seattle, Washington, a “must-see exhi-

bition”.

Supported by the Hyatt Thrive ini-

tiative, The Corridor is part of an initi-

ative by Grand Hyatt Doha offering a

unique gallery space for locally based

artists who wish to exhibit their work to

the Doha public and international visi-

tors alike. After a successful opening in

the summer of 2015, and curated by

locally based Australian art consultant

Pip Hoy, The Corridor has now become

an important addition to Doha’s thriv-

ing art scene.

Canon Middle East debuts EOS 5D Mark IVC

anon Middle East, world lead-

er in imaging solutions, debuts

the eagerly anticipated EOS 5D

Mark IV, the newest addition to

the legendary EOS 5D family, designed

for photographers on a quest to cap-

ture the perfect shot.

As successor to the EOS 5D Mark

III, the camera has been designed us-

ing first-hand feedback from the photo-

graphic community to create the most

versatile EOS model yet. To work hand-

in-hand with the camera, Canon also in-

troduces two new high performance L-

series lenses; the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS

II USM and EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM.

The EOS 5D Mark IV features Canon’s

brand new full frame 30.4 megapixel

CMOS sensor, delivering images that are

packed with detail, even in the brightest

highlights and darkest shadows. With

an ISO range of 100 to 32000, expand-

able from 50 up to 102400, images can

be captured in an array of lighting envi-

ronments. The enhanced noise process-

ing algorithm further improves low light

shooting, ideal for photojournalists who

need to capture breaking stories no mat-

ter what lighting conditions they face.

Tracking faces and colour of fast

moving subjects is easy with the EOS

5D Mark IV’s 61-point wide area reticu-

lar AF system. The 61-points / 41 cross-

type AF points cover an expanded sen-

sor area and provide the ability to fo-

cus even under moonlight at EV-3 in

viewfinder shooting mode, or EV-4 in

Live View mode. The EOS 5D Mark IV

enables you to use extenders with all

telephoto lenses for f/8 AF with all 61

points, including 21 cross type for even

greater precision. The high resolution

3.2-inch LCD with full touch panel op-

eration across all menus is combined

with a new AF ‘Area Selection’ button

providing quick AF point selection. Ad-

ditionally, the camera features an ad-

vanced 150K RGB+IR metering sensor

with a dedicated DIGIC 6 processor for

accurate exposures and precise sub-

ject detection and tracking.

Designed to respond in an instant

and never miss a shot, the EOS 5D Mark

IV’s high-speed readout technologies

and DIGIC 6+ processor mean you can

shoot at 7 fps at full resolution, with

full AF / AE tracking. Capturing up to

21 RAW images or unlimited JPEGs in

a single burst, you’ll always be ready for

the next frame. For when discretion is

needed — such as capturing breaking

news or animals in their natural habi-

tat — the camera features ‘Silent Single’

and ‘Silent Continuous’ modes, offering

shooting with minimal noise.

With the EOS 5D Mark IV, 4K movie-

making is open to anyone who wants to

use the power of video to tell the bigger

picture. A truly versatile camera, it fea-

tures DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) at 30/25/24

fps shooting and provides the ability

to extract 8.8MP JPEG images from 4K

videos, making it a great companion for

those wanting to easily switch from vid-

eo to stills. The EOS 5D Mark IV brings

this advancement in the form of a vid-

eo DSLR with internal 4K, 120p HD, Du-

al Pixel CMOS AF, time lapse movie and

new HDR movie mode. Built-in Wi-Fi en-

ables remote operation and secure file

transfer (FTPS/FTP) via smart devices

using the Canon Camera Connect app,

and NFC provides instant connections

between compatible devices. GPS geo-

tags each image in the EXIF data with

automatic time updates helping to man-

age images and, for the first time, IPTC

metadata, such as details of a shoot, is

automatically embedded.

Enhanced water and dust resist-

ance makes the camera ideal for trav-

el photographers or photojournalists

working in challenging terrain. Canon is

renowned for having the largest lens

system in the world and today, adds

the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM and

the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM to its in-

credible lineup. A truly flexible and du-

rable everyday lens, the EF 24-105mm

f/4L IS II USM is a perfect tool for any

photographer wanting to achieve high

edge-to-edge sharpness over the en-

tire zoom range. The 24-105mm focal

length and f/4 aperture is ideal for a

variety of scenes, subjects and light-

ing conditions, while improved 4-stop

IS and a new video design EDM pro-

vides quiet aperture adjustment dur-

ing movie capture. For exceptionally

high quality images that need to im-

press, Canon is proud to unveil the EF

16-35mm f/2.8L III USM. Working in

perfect harmony with high resolution

sensors such as the one seen in the

EOS 5D Mark IV, the high-performance

lens provides exceptional image qual-

ity for professional and serious enthu-

siasts. The versatile focal length (16-

35mm) will appeal to wedding pho-

tographers and photojournalists who

need to work up close, whilst the fast,

constant, f/2.8 maximum aperture

makes it an obvious choice for those

shooting in low light.

Based on customer feedback, Can-

on announces a new firmware update

for the EOS-1D X Mark II. Adding IPTC

support and LCD colour tone as fea-

tured in the EOS 5D Mark IV, the update

also improves the network and GPS

functionality.

Overwhelming response to Aster eye check-up

8 years availed free vision test and check-

up at Aster Medical Centre, a division of

Aster DM Healthcare, the leading health-

care conglomerate in the Middle East and India.

Marking the World Sight Day 2016, the screen-

ing was held for pre-registered participants and

walking patients at Aster Medical Centre, located at

C - Ring Road on October 14.

The vision test and checkup was led by Dr TPV

Saseendranath, Specialist Ophthalmologist at Aster

Medical Centre with support of qualified optome-

trist.

World Sight Day is an annual day of awareness

to focus global attention on blindness and vision

impairment, and is held on the second Thursday in

October each year and this year the day is celebrat-

ed on October 13.

Commenting on the initiative, Dr Saseendranath

said, “We are very pleased with the success of this

initiative. Amblyopia is the leading cause of vision

loss among children. It will cause reduced vision in

one or both eyes due to abnormal development of

vision in infancy or childhood. We believe preven-

tive care is extremely important and goes a long

way in ensuring the overall well being of individu-

als as well as the society at large. Early diagnosis is

very critical in the treatment of any vision impair-

ment.”

The eye-care campaign activities at Aster Med-

ical Centre are part of Aster Community Good

Health Programme (CGHP) aimed at promoting

good health and well being in the society.

What happens if you don’t

get enough vitamin B12?

“Vitamin B12 defi-

ciency causes tiredness,

weakness, constipation, loss of ap-

petite, weight loss, and megaloblas-

tic anemia,” the National Institutes of

Health says. “Nerve problems, such as

numbness and tingling in the hands

and feet, can also occur. Other symp-

toms of vitamin B12 deficiency include

problems with balance, depression,

confusion, dementia, poor memory,

and soreness of the mouth or tongue.”

A paper published this summer the-

orized that Mary Todd Lincoln’s well-

known psychological and emotional

problems were caused by a shortage

of the vitamin.

Okay, so you see it’s important.

About 15 percent of Americans don’t

get enough of it - and “a B12 deficien-

cy can go undiagnosed for years,” J.J.

Virgin writes in Prevention magazine.

Symptoms such as fatigue, shortness

of breath and forgetfulness might

point to such a deficiency and should

not be ignored.

Certain people are more likely to

be deficient in B12, Virgin writes:

- Vegetarians and vegans. B12 is

found naturally only in animal prod-

ucts (most notably beef liver and

clams, NIH notes). “In fact, that’s a

big part of how the ‘pale, weak ve-

gan’ stereotype came to be: chronic

B12 deficiency causes pale skin and

weakness,” Virgin writes.

- People older than 50. You are

more likely to have a deficiency as

you age - and symptoms such as

memory loss are easier to overlook

when everybody attributes them to

“senior moments.”

- People who drink alcohol regu-

larly. The problem is, B12 is stored in

your liver, and that is stressed by too

much alcohol.

- People with acid reflux. As if

heartburn weren’t bad enough, both

stomach problems and the medica-

tions used to treat them prevent your

body from absorbing B12.

- People with diabetes or an au-

toimmune disease. Again, these con-

ditions prevent your body from ab-

sorbing the vitamin.

Fortunately, as Virgin notes, B12

supplements are easily available, by

shots, lozenges and additives in food.

Fortified breakfast cereals, in partic-

ular, are a good source readily avail-

able to vegetarians and vegans. And

you don’t have to worry about over-

doing it, because B12 is water-sol-

uble - so your body takes what it

needs and flushes out the rest.

Here’s why you need

vitamin B12, and

where you can find it

By Amanda Loudin The Washington Post

Women who run outside

alone can take several

steps to make their ex-

perience safer:

- It’s better to run with a partner

or as part of a group, if you can.

Taking a dog can also make you a

less-appealing target.

- Never run alone wearing

headphones, as enticing as it can

be to listen to music. They reduce

your ability to hear an approach-

ing assailant.

A corollary to that is to always

be aware of your surroundings:

Notice where you’re going and

what’s around you.

Jean Knaack, executive di-

rector of the Road Runners Club

of America, explains that in the

midst of a run, it’s easy to zone

out, which can be a safety haz-

ard. “You need to not only focus

on what’s in front of you, but look

over your shoulders regularly, too,”

she says. “Get a sense of who is

behind you and whether or not

they seem to be closing in on you

in a way that makes you feel un-

easy.” If so, move away as quickly

as possible.

- Avoid running in the dark,

even in partial darkness, and in

sparsely populated areas. Parks,

trails and isolated areas are best

saved for running with partners. If

you’re on your own and it’s a quiet

time of day or night, opt for side-

walks with open businesses and

pedestrian traffic.

- Tell someone when you are

leaving, where you are running

and when you expect to return.

And ask that person to check on

you if you haven’t been in touch

within a certain length of time.

- Vary your running route and

routines. “It’s important not to get

complacent or too comfortable

with your regular routes,” Knaack

says.

- Finally, if something makes

you nervous, don’t get caught up

in the idea that you must finish

your run. If it’s gotten darker more

quickly than you expect or “some-

one in your vicinity gives you the

creeps, always go with your gut

and get out of the area quickly,”

Knaack says. Personal safety al-

ways should trump even the most

enticing workout plan.

FOOD

10 | THURSDAY 20 OCTOBER 2016

By Ellie Krieger The Washington Post

A nourishing breakfast - one with real staying

power - includes protein, but many people

tell me they’re in a rut, breakfast protein-

wise. Happily, there are plenty of tasty and

convenient solutions. First, there’s no need to lim-

it yourself to typical breakfast foods. Who says you

can’t start the day with some hummus and pita, a tu-

na sandwich or a bowl of lentil soup?

On the more classic end of the spectrum, there

are eggs, of course, which seem to say “good morn-

ing” on the plate; milk (most people don’t realize that

a cup of milk has more protein than a large egg); yo-

gurt; nuts and nut butters; and seeds. Health-con-

scious food lovers steer clear of breakfast meats such

as sausage, with its saturated fat and nitrates. But if

you are like me, you yearn for sausage’s lip-smacking,

savory flavor.

The accompanying recipe answers the call, add-

ing another healthful breakfast protein to the arsenal

and satisfying those sausage cravings as well.

These homemade turkey sausage patties are sim-

ple to prepare and can be refrigerated or frozen in

advance. You mix into the meat a medley of quin-

tessential breakfast-sausage seasonings: fennel seed,

sage, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper and a pinch of all-

spice; turkey’s neutral flavor is the ideal carrier. Then

you form the mixture into disks that are smaller than

hamburger patties. Be sure to buy ground dark-meat

turkey or ground turkey sold as 93 percent lean, in-

stead of a “low-fat” kind, because some fat is needed

to achieve that rich sausage essence. Besides, even

with that much fat, the meat qualifies as lean.

You can serve these patties just as you would oth-

er breakfast sausage: alongside eggs or pancakes, for

example. But they also make a perfect, tasty protein

for these breakfast sandwiches, stacked on whole-

grain English muffins with a juicy slice of tomato,

some spinach leaves and slices of buttery avocado.

Homemade Turkey Sausage

Breakfast Sandwiches8 servings

MAKE AHEAD: The patties can be formed and re-

frigerated between pieces of plastic wrap or wax

paper for up to 3 days, or individually wrapped and

frozen for up to 1 month; defrost in the refrigerator

overnight.

Ingredients

For the sausage

1 teaspoon whole fennel seed

1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage

3/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic (garlic powder)

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

1 pound ground dark-meat turkey (93 percent

lean)

1 tablespoon olive oil

For the sandwiches

8 whole-wheat English muffins (not honey wheat)

2 cups lightly packed fresh spinach leaves

2 medium tomatoes, sliced

Flesh of 2 ripe avocados, sliced

Hot sauce and/or ketchup (optional)

Method

Whisk together the fennel seed, sage, salt, pep-

per, thyme, garlic powder and allspice in a small bowl.

Place the turkey in a medium bowl, then sprinkle

the seasoning blend evenly over it. Use your clean

hands to gently work the seasonings into the meat,

being careful not to over-mix; it’s okay if they are not

absolutely evenly distributed throughout. Form the

mixture into 8 patties that are about 3 inches across.

Heat half the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over

medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add half of

the patties; cook until nicely browned on the outside

and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Trans-

fer to a plate; repeat with the remaining oil and patties.

To make the sandwiches, toast the English muf-

fins. Place a few spinach leaves on the bottom half

of each one. Add a cooked sausage patty, then a slice

of tomato and a few slices of avocado on each por-

tion. Add hot sauce and/or ketchup, if desired, then

place the top of the muffin on the sandwich. Serve

right away.

FASHION

AFP

Embattled Donald Trump got two fingers from

the most unlikely of places Tuesday -- the To-

kyo catwalk at a fashion show inspired by his

bete noire: the working Mexican in Texas.

Umit Benan, the Turkish designer born in Germa-

ny, educated in Switzerland and based in Milan, made

his debut at Japan Fashion Week by transforming an

Asian city runway into the Texan desert.

He covered the catwalk in sand, planted giant

green cacti and burnt gorse bushes, and past it all

strode male models dressed in outfits that fused

Mexican colours and fabrics with the American West.

Benan, who has shown his designs in Paris for the

last five years, called the spring/summer 2017 collec-

tion “Los Bastardos,” which he later translated as “lit-

tle smart arses, but in a positive way.”

The designer’s life-long work is a study in con-

trasts steming from his own nomadic life and exotic

background. This time, his inspiration came through

a series of road trips through Texas and New Mexico.

There were striped pajama-style trousers paired

with sharp blazers, stone-washed jeans worn with a

leather backpack, blue denim, leather baseball caps

and safari-style jackets with belts knotted at the back.

It was Western cowboy meets Italian tailoring,

with the working man look popular in the United

States thrown in for good measure. He picked out

cacti and palm trees on the backs of jackets.

While Benan said he had been researching the

concept for three years, his catwalk show could not

have been more topical -- just 20 days before Amer-

ica goes to the polls to elect a new president -- ei-

ther Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, the Republican

billionaire who has vowed to stop illegal immigrants

infiltrating the Mexican border.

“I tell you what, every time I do a collection it al-

ways has something to do with politics but it’s never

that I plan it,” he told AFP.

Trump, who has crashed in the polls over a series

of scandals, has enraged Mexico and inflamed Amer-

ican liberals by vowing to build a wall on the Mexican

border in an attempt to halt illegal immigration.

“It’s so much based on exactly the Mexican-Amer-

ican border, it’s insane, but it’s really my inspiration,”

Benan explained.

The designer likes to call his fashion shows “a cel-

ebration of my vision” rather than a commercial en-

terprise per se.

So was it two fingers to Trump?

“Always,” he replied to AFP, laughing.

Big B begins shooting for ‘Sarkar 3’

IANS

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has started

shooting for the third instalment of the

popular crime-movie “Sarkar”.

The 74-year-old says the movie by maverick

filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma is intriguing and un-

precitable.

“First day of ‘Sarkar 3’! Larger, intriguing and

oh so unpredictable,” Big B tweeted on Tuesday

night.

The “Pink” star also shared that there is “ap-

prehension on the first day of shoot”.

“An entirely new environ, an entirely new set

up, even if the designs of the story and characters

have been indulged well in the past...happens all

the time. And yet, we never stop speaking about

it,” he shared on his blog.

“The director knows best and we leave it to

him and his vision...that is really the best way out,”

he added.

The cine icon had played an integral part in the

first two instalments of the film.

“Sarkar”, which released in 2005, is set up in

the world of Indian politics. Its sequel “Sarkar Raj”

hit the screens in 2008.

“Sarkar 3” will see Amitabh reprising his role as

Subhash Nagre. The film will also stars Rohini Hat-

tangadi, Jackie Shroff, Manoj Bajpayee, Ronit Roy,

Bharat Dabholkar and Yami Gautam.

Popular stand-up comedian Bharti Singh

believes that people should learn how

to laugh at themselves, and not feel bad

about jokes.

“When I entered the contest of comedy show,

I realised people are going to make fun of my

appearance for obvious reasons. So, before they

started doing that, I started cracking jokes on

myself. We should learn how to laugh at our-

selves. And remember, a joke is a joke, nothing

to take to heart and feel bad about it,” Bharti

told IANS.

“If you cannot take a joke on yourself, you

shouldn’t make fun of others. Many times people

called me an elephant. Did I become one? I am

still a human being, right? What’s the big deal?,”

added the comedian, who often cracks jokes on

her heavy weight.

And now, she is excited to front campaigns of

a beauty product.

On the recent TVC launch of Joy honey and

almond body lotion in Mumbai, Bharti said: “I

never even thought in my wildest dreams to be-

come a brand ambassador of a beauty product.”

“One has to have a model like figure and an

appearance for that. I am yet to believe that Joy

- Beauty by nature has singed me. I respect their

conviction and thank them for choosing me.”

The TVC emphasises on redefining beauty.

Talking about the changing approach, she said:

“It is good to notice how the society is changing.

Features and body structure of people change in

every region of our country. People of south look

different from those in the north. I am a Punjabi;

I was born with a plus-size body. Why should I

change that?”

But there is a difference between plus-size

and an obese person, and the comedian does

not encourage the latter.

“Obesity is a sign of unhealthy lifestyle and

food habit. If you put on weight by eating fast

food, that means you are following a bad diet

that will not only lead you to obesity but other

health issues too. I strongly discourage that.”

Since body shamming on social media and

other platforms has become a regular affair,

Bharti believes that “girls should carry them-

selves with confidence and celebrate their own

body instead of feeling ashamed of their imper-

fections.

If you are self-confident no one would get a

chance to say anything wrong”.

Should learn to laugh at

ourselves: Bharti Singh

TECHNOLOGY

By Brian Fung The Washington Post

On Friday, video gamers will get to experi-

ence Civilisation VI - the newest game in a

franchise that for decades has invited play-

ers to lead one of history’s great peoples

from the prehistoric era to the space age. As the title

suggests, it’s a simulation of humanity’s actual jour-

ney, complete with all the wars, politics and cultural

struggles along the way.

I sat down this week with Sid Meier, the creator of

Civilisation. He declined to discuss the finer points of

playing as Donald Trump. But he did discuss his own

Civ playstyle, and he hinted at what future versions

of Civ may hold as our real-world technology gets in-

creasingly sophisticated. The following transcript has

been edited for length and clarity.

Q. How does Sid Meier play Sid Meier’s Civili-

sation?

A. I play the way you’re supposed to play [laughs].

To me, the Romans are typically the - I won’t say ge-

neric, but the civilisation that’s a little bit good at eve-

rything. What I enjoy is looking at the situation and

determining what the strategy is going to be. This is

an opportunity for exploration and conquest. Here,

whoa, these guys are pretty strong - I better hun-

ker down and try to develop science to get ahead of

them. That’s how I envisioned the game initially. So

I’m not the best tester, because I’ll go down the most

common paths. But I like to play it like the way I think

it was meant to be played.

Q. Are you guys looking into virtual reality at

all?

A. We’re looking into everything [smiles]. But it

has to serve the game. It can’t be a gimmick or some-

thing that detracts from gameplay.

Q. How might some gameplay elements work in

VR? If you were to try and build a version of Civ for

VR, what might that look like?

A. Right now, when you have combat, you’re look-

ing at little guys down there fighting. You might want

to get in the middle of that with VR. That might be

a cool time to involve yourself. But if you look at a

game like Civ where it takes hours and hours to play,

you don’t want to wear a headset for that long. So

you kinda want to find the key moments, the most

interesting visuals and experience those in VR, but

probably play the rest of the game in a different

mode. Building a Wonder, I can imagine being in the

middle of that. Picking those really key moments and

VR-ing them. We haven’t really talked about this, but

maybe we should do it - wandering through your city

and getting up close. That could add this element of,

what you’re already imagining in your mind, you can

kind of see it alive.

Q. I could envision at some point being able to

walk over to one of my cities and take a closer look,

or drag and drop my units by hand or something.

A. Yeah, that could be fun - but again, with Civ,

you want to see the context, the different possibil-

ities. And you’re investing a fair amount of time. So

those are things that VR isn’t necessarily great at.

Finding ways to do that well is a challenge.

Q. Are there lessons about governance that

policymakers can take away from Civ?

A. One thing Civ teaches is that it’s not as easy as

it looks. Everyone knows what the government ought

to do. “Just put me in charge and I’ll fix all these prob-

lems!” But the lesson of Civ is, it’s more complicated

than it looks. Yeah, you can raise taxes, but then my

people are going to be unhappy. Or I can invest in my

military but then I’m slighting science. . . .

I think Civ illustrates that decisions are trade-offs.

And you need to understand both the upside and the

downsides to make those decisions.

Q. What technologies exist today that play-

ers might have researched as an abstract “Future

Technology” in previous versions of Civ?

A. In terms of a current technology we might in-

clude in Civ, I would see self-driving cars being some-

thing we might consider - IF there were to be anoth-

er Civilization game.

Q. Are you saying there might not be?

A. We’re not committing to anything at the mo-

ment. But that kind of stuff keeps the game relevant.

We’re certainly looking at those opportunities.
