STAND OUTTHATWORDS

Dear Students,

My colleague came to my office the other day and asked me to write my next letter from the editor about “freedom of choice”When I asked her why, she said “they want to take away our freedom to choose”I said “who? How can they? Ever!!?”She said: “In their pursuit of utopia, where everyone is virtuous, they want to enforce that which we did not choose!”I said: “But that defies the Divine!! If our Creator wanted us to live in utopia, would He not made it so!?”She looked at me in silence, so I continued asking“Do you not know what differentiate humans from other beings?”“What?” she wondered“Our freedom of choice!! If our Creator wanted us all equal in our virtue, would He not have created us as such!? If our Creator wanted us living in utopia, why would He have created hell!? If our Creator wanted us to simply follow rules and not question, would He not have made us all angels!? But we have been created humans! And the only real differentiation between us and other beings is the fact that we can choose, so how can anyone deny you that choice!!?”Listening to all this, she paused..then regaining her thoughts, she said:”others have denied their women the choice. Others have covered them, even covered their eyes..while degrading them..denying them education..raping them!”Smiling with knowing sadness: “So is the way of men..but pray do tell..when did the cover stop people from making their choices?! You see the good, the bad and the ugly in every society, in every country, in every religion and every sect. Cover or not covered. It is all about the choices we make. And we will always have the freedom to choose, that is what our Creator granted us when he made us human, and that, my dear colleague, is what no other human being will ever be able to take away from us.”So my students, I have decided, I shall not talk to you about the freedom of choice, it would be a waste of both our times, for we all know, you will always be..FREE TO CHOOSE,May you always chose growth, advancement, and furthering your knowledge.Just remember, if our Creator wanted, He would have created us all from one religion, one sect. but He created us different. 7 billion of us, and still not two are the same. So we may meet. So we may interact. So we may learn. So we may evolve. Cover or no cover, Deeds will always be judged based on intentions.May you always have the BEST of intentions,

Till next issue,

Zeina Mokaddam

STAND OUTWITH YOUR PASSION

20 - 21

Passion for Music Saleh Basher Hamami

When did you start playing drums?Actually, I started playing when I was 15 years old.

Who discovered your talent? How did it evolve? Nobody discovered me. I discovered myself .

When was your first concert/ official appearance?My first concert was in GUST University, in the middle of fall course in 2008.

How many appearances have you done?I have done two appearances.

Who and what inspired you as a drummer?Mike Portony and Danny Carey are my leaders, and they inspired me throughout my childhood. And the thing that inspired me in drums was the fast movements and the sound of every beat I heard .

Where do you see Kuwait in this field?I think Kuwait country is very poor and weak in this type of playing music. And I am very glad that I have who supports me in GUST university, she is my music teacher, Ms. Abla Kamel.

Page 23: StudenTalk #133 - April 2012

www.studentalk-online.com

What was the biggest challenge you faced as an Arab drummer?My biggest challenge was and still is that many Arab people don’t take the drums as a good music instrument to play because it doesn’t match the Arabic music. But I am trying so hard to convince people that it does match all types of music.

What are you doing nowadays?Still playing electronic drums at my home, and studying of course.

Where do you plan to reach with your drums?I plan to reach the best top ten drummers in the world, with God’s help.

Today when you look back is there anything you want to change?No, because I am so happy with what I have reached in the previous three years.

What are the top 5 musical pieces that incorporate drums, in your opinion, and by who?In my opinion bass drum, share, crash cymbal, small/large tom, and the hats are the 5 pieces incorporate drums.

What would you like to say to STUDENTALK readers?I’d like to say thanks to STUDENTALK magazine, because it’s always trying to help students in Kuwait, and we have to appreciate their work with us. And I’d like to thank every student who voted for me. Thank you all.

Fast movement and beats are what influenced me to start drumming

How did your talent evolve?Being a university student has given my hobby a great chance for improvement. Being around a number of creative people and artists has really influenced me in a number of ways that I don’t even know where to begin if I were to describe it.

Were there any obstacles?The biggest obstacle I’ve faced as an artist is that art is consistently being misjudged or judged according to one’s personal taste. It’s sad how so many people think of art as any random piece of drawing splashed with any random chosen colour; and that anything can be considered art. But they are wrong… There is a very noticeable difference between a beautiful drawing on a page and a page of a beautiful drawing

Who is your muse?My Dad. The artistic blood in me came from his side of the family. I never met anyone who loved to draw and paint more than my father.

Today when you look back is there anything you want to change?Nothing at all, I look at the past as one big journey to where I want to be, I have big dreams of becoming a leading animator and director in Walt Disney Studios.

QSome stand out, others make fools of themselves. In your opinion, what are the attributes that would make a person stand out in a positive way? And what are the attributes that would make a person stand out in a negative way?

UNIVERSITY: KUNAME: BASIL AHMED HALAB

In my opinion, a person can stand out by being responsible and friendly and perhaps independent, but he can be stand out in a negative way by giving bad impression about himself by his unethical attitude and behavior.

UNIVERSITY: GUSTNAME: AWSS ELDAOURAGE: 22DEPARTMENT: MARKETING

In my opinion those who stand out in a positive way are people who insist on being themselves, and who show the best of themself without hiding it and be loved the way they are by being loyal or having something special. But standing out in a negative way is by acting that you are different or copying someone else - in other words being fake. The more natural the better.

What is the CPI?

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services, including housing, electricity, food, and transportation. CPI assesses changes in the cost of living by measuring changes consumer pay for a set of items.

The CPI serves as the headline figure for inflation. Simply put, inflation reflects a decline in the purchasing power of the currency. The CPI is the most widely used measure of inflation and is sometimes viewed as an indicator of the effectiveness of government economic policy. It is also used to adjust consumers’ income payments (for example, Social Security) to adjust income eligibility levels for government assistance and to automatically provide cost-of-living wage adjustments to millions workers.

For example, if you or your family spends a larger-than-average share of your budget on medical expenses, and medical care costs are increasing more rapidly than the cost of other items in the CPI market basket, your personal rate of inflation may exceed the increase in the CPI. Conversely, if you heat your home with solar energy, and fuel prices are rising more rapidly than other items, you may experience less inflation than the

general population does. In sum, price changes are weighted by the importance of the item in the spending patterns of the appropriate population group. The combination of all these factors gives a weighted measurement of price change for all items in all outlets, in all areas priced for the CPI.

The CPI figures are closely followed by the Central Banks. Rising Consumer Prices may prompt the Central Banks to raise interest rates in order to manage inflation and slow economic growth. Higher interest rates make holding the currency more attractive to foreign investors, and this higher level of demand will place upward pressure on the value of the currency.

The CPI is also reported excluding food and energy (Core CPI); two of its most volatile components. These components are particularly sensitive to temporary economic factors like oil prices, natural disasters and seasonal affects. Consequently, CPI excluding Food and Energy provides a more stable figure, but at the cost of overlooking two significant sectors in the economy (together food and energy comprise nearly a quarter of the goods included in the CPI).

He is very laid back, smart, and very supportive. He was the “man” of the house since Bobby Brown was never around.

8 Tips for strong and healthy nails

A new must-have for today’s young woman, Vernis In Love reinvents nail polish application making it simpler, faster and more stunning than ever.

What makes it unique? A patented brush that makes all the difference. A grooved stem that allows nail polish to flow directly to the centre of the brush. An elongated and rounded base with extremely supple flat bristles, that allows the nail contour to be perfectly followed and a uniform coat of varnish to be applied in just a single stroke. 10 fingers, 10 strokes! The fluid texture of Vernis In love creates a smooth, streak-free, and flawless film of colour. Incredibly resistant for days on end, it is empowered with micro-mirrors, which reflect light from every angle to create dazzling shine.

Nails are usually easily damaged, ignoring them would cause you pain and ingrown nails or even fungal infections.

Follow these 8 tips for healthy nails:1. Always keep your nails hydrated, use olive oil or petroleum jelly on the skin surrounding your nails whenever you feel their dryness. 2. Moisturize your hands and nails and cover them with rubber gloves before washing the dishes.3. Dry your hands, specially after using water, because keeping them wet would probably cause your nails fungal infections.4. Having a glass of milk and boiled egg daily would increase calcium which helps make your nails strong.5. Always file your nails in one direction.6. Massage your nails to keep them strong and shiny.7. Always use a clear coat to protect your nails from being damaged.8. Avoid polish removers with acetone they’re terribly drying to nails, use acetate based removers instead.

STAND OUTWITH YOUR HEALTH

When people talk about asthma, they are really talking about a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that causes periodic “attacks” of coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.

What are the symptoms of asthma?

• Wheezing or noisy breathing• Coughing• A tight feeling in the chest• Shortness of breath

Symptoms can happen each day, each week, or less often. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. Although it is rare, an episode of asthma can sometimes even lead to death. Your doctor will ask you about your symptoms and have you do a breathing test to see how your lungs are working.

Tests may include the following:• Pulmonary function test: A lung test to measure your breathing capacity and how well you breathe that is done in pulmonary lab.• Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF): Using a device called a peak flow meter; you forcefully exhale into the tube to measure the force of air you can expend out of your lungs. Peak flow monitoring can allow you to monitor your asthma at home.• Chest X-Ray: Your doctor may do a chest X-Ray to determine if other conditions of the lungs, heart or chest are present.

How is asthma treated?

Asthma is treated with different types of medicines. The medicines can be inhalers, liquids, or pills. Your doctor will prescribe medicine based on how often you have symptoms and how serious your symptoms are. Asthma medicines work in one of two ways:

A) Quick-relief medicines stop symptoms quickly — in 5 to 15 minutes. Almost everyone with asthma has a quick-relief inhaler that they carry with them. People use these medicines whenever they have asthma symptoms. Most people need these medicines 1 or 2 times a week—or less often. But when asthma symptoms get worse, more doses may be needed.Some people can feel shaky after taking these medicines.

B) Long-term controller medicines control asthma and prevent future symptoms. People with frequent asthma symptoms take these one or two times each day.

It is very important that you take all the medicines the doctor prescribes, exactly how you are supposed to take them. You might have to take medicines a few times a day. You might not feel a medicine working, but that does not mean it is not helping you.

Asthma that is not treated with the right medicines can damage the lungs. Plus, not taking your medicines correctly can cause symptoms to get worse and even require a trip to the hospital.

What is an asthma action plan?

An asthma action plan is a list of instructions that tells you:

• Which medicines to use each day at home• Which medicines to take if your symptoms get worse• When to get help

If you have frequent or severe asthma symptoms, your doctor might suggest that you have an asthma action plan. If so, you and your doctor will work together to make one. As part of your action plan, you may need to use something called a “peak flow meter.” Breathing into this device will show how your lungs are working. Your doctor will show you the right way to use your inhaler and peak flow meter.

Should I see a doctor or nurse?

Call for an ambulance if you have a severe asthma attack and your symptoms:• Get worse• Do not improve after using a quick-relief medicine• If you need asthma medicine every day, you should see your doctor every 6 months or more often

Can asthma symptoms be prevented?

You can help prevent your asthma symptoms. You can stay away from things that cause your symptoms or make them worse. Doctors call these “triggers.” If you know what your triggers are, avoid them as much as possible.

Some common triggers include:• Dust• Animals, such as dogs and cats• Pollen and plants• Cigarette smoke• Getting sick with a cold or flu (that’s why it’s important to get a flu shot)• exercise• Stress

and we’ll have one of our experts answer your queries.

If you can’t avoid certain triggers, talk with your doctor about what you can do. For example, exercise can be good for people with asthma. But you may need to take an extra dose of your quick-relief inhaler medicine before you exercise.

Spring/SummerSTAND OUTTHIS

The Italian fashion brand attracted young Kuwaiti fashion lovers

Franklin & Marshall, part of Multitrend International, a member of the Al-Homaizi Group of Companies, today hosted an event for a large number of its customers at its recently opened store in The Avenues, to showcase its latest fashion lines and accessories. During the event, guests were introduced to Franklin & Marshall’s quality Italian lifestyle and its popular college-vintage style collections. All guests who attended received an exclusive gift from Franklin & Marshall, had the opportunity to browse through Franklin & Marshall’s complete latest Spring/Summer collection, and enjoyed the in-store musical enteratinment and free hospitality. Guiseppe Albarelli and Andrea Pensiero, the brand’s creative directors and founders, are well known for pioneering the college-vintage influenced design. For Franklin & Marshall, the word ’vintage’ reflects the on-going search for clothing and personalization in order to express individual identity. Thus, the vintage t-shirt or the faded sweatshirt, becomes a memory of a moment in one’s life.

Franklin & Marshall Launches the Spring/Summer 2012 collection at The Avenues Mall

Maen Merheby, Retail Director, Multi Trend International, said: ”offering a solution that combines fashion and comfort under the same brand has made Franklin & Marshall into one of the Middle East’s most attractive stores for all young adults.”We have already received very enthusistic feedback since the official opening of our store in The Avenues in November 2011, and we have continued this expansion into 2012 with the launch of our first store in Dubai, UAe which is located in Mirdif City Center. We will continue expanding throughout the region as part of the company’s strategic plan.”

The unique brand of Vicomte A., with its bright and daring colors along with its impeccable finishing, has opened at the Avenues Mall, Kuwait. STUDENTALK decided to meet with the mastermind behind this exclusive brand, Arthur De Soultrait, in order to learn more on the brand, and gain insight on why he has chosen Kuwait as his next franchising endeavor.ST: What does the name Vicomte A. represent?Arthur: Vicomte is a title in French aristocracy- a small yet rare title to hold. I have been fortunate enough to have this name, and my full name is Vicomte Arthur De Soultrait, so the brand has been taken as a shortened version of my title of Vicomte Arthur. Consequently, the crown above the brand name is also representative of the crown of a Vicomte. ST: We hear you fell into the fashion industry quite by chance. Could you please tell us this story?Arthur: Growing up, my family would breed horses in Burgundy. I have always had a taste for clothing that symbolizes that of my childhood, one that paralleled around horse riding and breeding. When I went for my studies, I majored in Business, and never studied fashion. However, with time, I set up a great team inclusive of my designer William, which has pushed me even further in my career of

fashion. I may have fallen into this industry by chance, but we have now won a significant prize for a top French men’s wear designer award.ST: What inspired you to get into fashion?Arthur: I have always been inspired by color and elegance, and find that it truly reflects me as a person. When I began in this industry, I was making ties, and I realized that I wanted to make something out of the ordinary; something different inclusive of bold colors. Furthermore, I always make sure my work reflects elegance, as I find it an important aspect of fashion.ST: Is there a reason for the bright colors in your clothing?Arthur: I like to use colors to enrich the touch of the clothing I create. Whenever new designs are created, we make sure to incorporate a number of different colors to fit with the designs. ST: Vicomte A. has many franchises in Europe and North America; why have you now chosen Kuwait as your new destination?Arthur: I have always wanted to cater to places in the Middle east, as I find that people here often travel abroad to find clothes like mine. Many Middle Easterners, even Kuwaitis, are found buying my clothes from outside. I decided that opening this clothing brand in kuwait will be beneficial for us, as well as the buyers. We have created exclusive designs just for Kuwait, and hopefully the people of Kuwait will enjoy these styles.

Thanks to Turkish Airlines, the official partner of Manchester United, GUST was honored to welcome former Manchester United Striker Andrew Cole, known to his fans as Andy Cole for an autograph opportunity for the GUST students and employees.Turkish Airlines prides itself as being “The Wings of Champions – Uniting Fans Globally,” and that they have! The students were ecstatic. They waited for Cole to arrive and were queued in line with their memorabilia eagerly waiting for them to be signed including of course their Manchester United jerseys! It was a moment none of them will forget, neither will GUST, who has also hosted former Brazilian super-footballers, Bebeto, Aldair, Marcelo and Ricardo Rocha. But Cole is part of the students’ generation; they group up with him as leader in the football arena and respect him for it. A retired footballer, Cole currently works as a football coach. In his career, Cole was the second-highest goal scorer in Premier League history where he scored a total of 187 league goals. Cole is one of the few players in England to have swept all honors in the English game, including the PFA Young Player of the Year award and the coveted UEFA Champions League title. Cole was also capped fifteen times for England between 1995 and 2001, scoring once, against Albania in a World Cup Qualifier. He announced his retirement from football on 11 November 2008.GUST would like to thank the renowned Andrew Cole and Turkish Airlines for their visit immensely and hope for more collaborations in the future.

In 2008, a group of engineering students at Kuwait University aspired to spread awareness about the global warming phenomenon and to take action on climate change. Living in an oil-producing country is a great economic privilege; however, it raises important concerns about the amounts of carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, the Kuwaiti Team for Global Warming was established to motivate people of Kuwait to embrace environmental change in order to balance the effects of oil production.

The journey started in Kuwait University, where the first Earth Hour event took place and was organized in 2008 targeting university students mainly and staff members. It didn’t take time before people started participating in the event and showed great interests in cooperating in the following years.

In 2009, the significance of reducing electricity consumption for only an hour was explained by team members to authorized individuals of the main landmarks of Kuwait like Kuwait Towers, Liberation Tower and The Scientific Center as well as over twenty-six malls. The team properly introduced the idea of Earth Hour to the public by organizing an eventful gathering in a public areas, and by inviting people at home, through media and press, to switch off their non-essential lights and electrical devices from 8:30 to 9:30 pm. Several non-profit organizations and societies participated in the event to educate people about other environmental aspects and the importance of volunteer work.

The Story of Earth Hour in Kuwait

As a result, the percentage of electricity consumption during that hour was reduced. Moreover, the number of participants increased each year showing their loyalty to the cause.

Additionally, the team contributes towards educating the youth about Global Warming phenomenon and climate change by giving lectures and seminars at schools and universities. The Kuwaiti Team for Global Warming has also inspired organizations to adopt the idea of Earth Hour and has supported its application in the State of Kuwait during Environmental Day, which took place on February 27th 2012, naming it the Environmental Hour.

Once again this year, during the evening of Saturday 31st March, Kuwait, in union with the rest of the world, dimmed its lights for an hour. Did you too?
