Dear Students, I have to share this real life story with you!

A renowned doctor at the University of Pennsylvania has dedicated his whole life to the study of a very rare bone disease where bones grow in organs they are not supposed to grow in, like the heart or kidney.

There are only 200 cases in the world and his colleagues often wondered why he puts so much energy into a disease very few cared about and where there was no cure!

Ahmad Al-Therban ahmad@ph7-kw.com EDITORIAL TEAM Group Editor Katia Abbas katia@ph7-kw.com

Suddenly his research became the hot topic of the day and, as now the cure was a possibility, he was able to get funding.

CONTRIBUTORS Suad Ibrahim Shouroug Jallad Nathalie Matta Nadia Atout Fatema Hayat

Knowing the limitation of his age, the veteran doctor was looking for a younger protégé to carry forward his mantle. Unexpectedly, this veteran doctor approached my sister, a young Lebanese doctor who has studied and is now working at the same University.

CREATIVE TEAM Graphic Designer Nidal Al-Shaker nidal@ph7-kw.com

Until…. at the age of over 70 some, he actually found the gene’s mutation that causes the disease.

Shocked, my sister asked him “why her”? She felt there were many other doctors with far more experience!

He looked at her and recited a story of a Lebanese friend of his who, when asked what he would like to be remembered as, said “I would like to be remembered as being nice”. When the friend died years later, his memorial lived up to his wishes and a yearly grant was established in his name.

The doctor then looked at my sister and said: “Being nice counts. Does that answer your question?”

How beautiful it is when our small acts are actually our biggest achievement?

And how often we forget the impact of our small acts...

May we always be nicely remembered...

Till the next issue,

Zeina Mokaddam

Microsoft Imagine Cup 2016 Creativity, passion, and knowledge of technology

Imagine Cup is a global student technology program, and competition that provides opportunities for students across all platforms to create advancements in the technological industry, and provide solutions to society. A team of three engineering students; Alhamza Abdulmonen, Hussain Taqi, and Mohammad Al-Qallaf at the American University of the Middle East (AUM), came in first place of the World Citizenship category.

‫قصة الغالف‬

We really believe this idea has the potential for restoring hope and faith for those who need it

What is this project about?

It is a mind-controlled, smart, 3D printed prosthetic arm. The arm is controlled via brain commands, obtained from an Electroencephalography (EEG) headset. The arm is equipped with a network of smart sensors and actuators that give the user an intelligent feedback about the surrounding environment and the object in contact. This network provides the arm with normal hand functionality, smart reflexes and smooth movements. The mechanical arm designed to be mounted on the shoulder of the person who does not have an arm or that has a paralyzed arm, giving them the capability to perform everyday life actions.

How do you competition?

feel

about

winning

the

The competition qualified us to participate in the Microsoft Imagine Cup Pan Arab competition in Cairo, Egypt. It was an incredible and unforgettable experience.

What drove your passion towards the project?

This project combines two of our main passions: robotics and helping those in need. It allowed us to put to work all the knowledge we acquired during our studies for the betterment of the lives of paralyzed individuals and amputees. We really believe

this idea has the potential of restoring hope and faith for those who may have lost it after an unfortunate accident, or after suffering for a long period of time, with the lack of an affordable, functional, and user-friendly solution.

Did you face challenges in your project? If so, what?

It was a complex, multidisciplinary process.

It includes aspects of many engineering disciplines such as: • Electrical engineering: controlling and connecting the electrical circuitry that powers everything together.

• Computer engineering: coding and programming the different components of the project such as the sensors, and the mind-control headset.

• Mechanical engineering: setting up the mechanical part of the arm, such as the motors, and calculating the weight and torque features of each part to ensure that each motor is able to carry the weight of the arm, as well as any objects that it may carry.

This project incorporates some input from graphical design, for designing and editing the 3D printing process. It was a great opportunity to put our knowledge to work, and we were able to learn new things in the process.

What do you hope to achieve in the future?

It is only the beginning for us. After proving the functionality of the idea, and showing everyone our potential, we aim to improve it further. We hope to start testing it with individuals that are in need of it, and we want to improve the design. This would allow us to receive feedback and upgrade the functionality, as well as help them enhance their lifestyle. In the future, we hope to cooperate with government entities that are concerned with the disabled, in order to finance the project and send it directly to them.

Tidbits: • Alhamza Abdulmonen is a Computer Engineer, and one of the founders of the AUM robotics club.

• Hussain Taqi is a Computer Engineer, and is a founding member of the Kuwait branch of the Institution of Engineering and Technology.

• Mohammad Al-Qallaf is an Electrical Engineer, a Robotics Club member with a passion for innovation in the mechatronics field.

Topic of the Month This Month’s Spotlight

Family is where the heart is Building a Family

By: Suad Ibrahim As humans we all belong somewhere; to our family, to our friends, to our culture, and to our world. The feeling of belonging is essential to our sense of happiness and well-being. Family is about connection, honesty, trust and unconditional love. It is a feeling of belonging, shelter from life’s storms, sharing sadness and happiness together. Family always comes first, and nothing else really matters.

‫في هذا العدد تسليط الضوء‬

Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.

David Ogden Stiers

I didn’t realize the importance of “family” until I left to America in August 2013 to study for my undergraduate at Elon University, in North Carolina. I remember the night very clearly, it was the first time I said good-bye to my mother knowing I could only see her during winter break and the summer. I remember her face clearly, red, teary-eyed, and holding me so tight. I could not stop the tears running down my face, and I could not let go. On the other hand, my father seemed the strongest of us all, but I knew as soon as he moved me in to my dorm, he waved with watery eyes, saying, “take care of yourself.” That moment, I broke down.

Even if I was the oldest of my three brothers, I was still their baby girl. It is true what the say, seeing your mother and father cry is probably

the worst thing to witness.

New life. New city. Sometimes, you have to leave the nest. It did not hit me that I was leaving my home, I was leaving my identity in the place that I only ever knew. I won’t longer wake up to my 3 brothers annoying me, and I won’t really be there to watch my now 4-year old brother grow up. All I could do now was utilize Facetime, Whatsaap, Viber, and Skype for the next four years.

Before you knew it, I craved a slice of home for a couple of months at Elon. All I could think of were the familiar faces of my family, friends, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I started feeling homesick, a feeling I never encountered before. The longing ache for the familiar,

friends, and my mother’s home cooking – sets in. I didn’t realize how “Kuwaiti” I was.

Though Elon is great, and the friends I have made are my “home away from home.” It is still not the same. Every return to my home served as a metric of how much of myself had been changed and unrooted. I am always excited to return home, because it is true what they say, home is home. My experience made me realize that my family is the most important thing in the world.

It is important to hold onto to your family, especially during a time where it can be convenient to let go. Family is an important word, a word we use about people we love.

Art & Graphic Design Department 9th Annual Capstone Exhibition Concluded

The Art & Graphic Design Department at the American University of Kuwait (AUK) concluded its 9th annual Capstone Exhibition.

The Exhibition offered senior students an opportunity to showcase their creative work to the public and have their designs considered by renowned experts from the industry.

Under the supervision of Rita Merheb Khair, Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at AUK, participating students investigated a topic of their choice, researched and analyzed it, and designed communication tools that addressed their target audiences through the medium of Graphic Design. Their work covered a range of topics that included; social and cultural awareness, corporate identity, and entrepreneurship.

2015/641

The exhibited projects reflected a culmination of semester-long, self-initiated, and selfdirected ideas implemented through diverse applications. The projects were evaluated based on their creativity and presentation; their ability to conduct and use graphic design research strategy effectively; and their ability to plan and implement a compelling graphic design display.

The Capstone Exhibition is held annually.

It brings together visitors from the field of graphic design, including experts from graphic design studios, publishing houses, film and video production companies, advertising, and multimedia firms. According to Khair, “This exhibition is an opportunity for our students to present themselves, their creative capabilities, and their technical skills, through a project in which they have utilized everything they have learned over the past four years.

It also gives them exposure, a good body of work to include in their portfolios, and most importantly the strength and the courage they need to move on to the next stage in their lives, whether it is further studies, or the professional world of Graphic Design” As one of the final year courses, the GDES Capstone course is designed to teach graduating students how to visualize the complex intersection between personal voice, conceptual understanding, and the use of research for a graphic design exhibition.

Maryam Hosseinnia, Chair of the Department of Art & Graphic Design, explained that the showcased designs displayed the students’ capabilities. “The Capstone is meant to be the culmination of four years of learning for our Graphic Design majors, showcasing their design, talents, abilities, and learning. The faculty of Art & Graphic Design is constantly working to improve the learning environment for the students. The faculty is involved throughout their creative project learning and development. This Capstone shows the hard work and earned expertise of our students as well.”

AUK’s Graphic Design Capstone represents an opportunity for senior students to fully incorporate their design strengths and learning into a focused, extended process of research and visual expression. The projects are diverse, reflecting individual student investigations into their topic of choice.

It is about solving a Lean Supply Chain for a manufacturing company. We had to apply accounting concepts and industrial engineering concepts in this case study.

What is your goal?

We want to prove that AUM students can achieve high success and reach their goals.

We think that believing in ourselves, receiving proper guidance, and encouragement has assisted us in reaching this milestone on our road to successful careers. AUM’s educational environment provided that for us.

30

Have you faced any challenges? If so, what?

There was an increase in the production of the company by 12.5% per year, while maintaining high quality products. There was also a decrease in profits of the company in the previous years. Another challenge was solving the case study and preparing the short film in less than three weeks. It was a great challenge, because of the montage skills of Fatema Al-Hussienen, teamwork, the harmony, and our skills combined.

Are you representing your university?

Yes, we are proudly representing AUM. We

believe that our university was a great help in our achievement. Our supervisors’ guidance and support led us to accomplish our goals and overcome the stressful moments.

Music is second nature to me. Home videos of myself as a child show how music has always been a part of me and the only thing that kept me from crying, of course, then when the music ended, I would be upset.

Was your family supportive of you?

My parents have always been supportive and also love music. My mom always put me in music lessons I wanted. They’ve always given me a lot of advice, “don’t be nervous, you will do just fine.” Always making me feel better, they have always been so encouraging.

Have you performed in Kuwait and in Miami?

Yes, I have. My friends in high school always pushed me to sing, saying, “You have to sing, you can sing.” My first performance, I

was about to pass out on stage. I was crying on the inside, but I knew I just had to do it.

In university, I sing so much that it’s gotten much easier, but there are times I still get nervous, so I always practice.

How do you feel about being on stage?

It is a very different feeling, if I take away the anxiety and nervousness, I have to block out all the voices in my head saying, “you can’t do it!” When I get into the song, I must forget where I am, and become that song. I stop thinking about how my voice is going to sound. Sing songs I can relate to as a form of expression.

What draws your inspiration to sing?

Whatever my mood may be, I’ll find music that helps reflect that feeling.

Do you ever dream of becoming a singer?

That’s the ultimate goal for a music lover, including myself. I’m not Whitney Houston, or Michael Jackson, I’m not extraordinarily talented. Television and Radio is more connected to music today, which is why I’m in that field. I always want to work with music, hopefully one day I start my own record label, or become a radio host so I can pick the music, meet the artists and help them become big. I would love to be my own singer, if it happens, it happens.

Have you experienced any challenges along the way? If so, what?

The challenge is more internal, because when I want to sing, I have to find that courage to sing. What stops me is the fear of sounding bad. I’ve had times where the mic stopped working, and I’ve tripped. I am not someone that is very assertive, I don’t just say, “Oh put me in I want to sing.” I think talent speaks for itself. If someone has heard me sing, I want them to vouch for me and say, “She can sing and put her on the show.” Every challenge I’ve faced helped me grow.

Who are your musical inspirations?

Generally, artists that our generation doesn’t listen to, I love the classics from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. I admire Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, and Prince. People that we don’t typically listen to now were inspirations for all these other artists. They created an era of the music that I listen to. The classics are beautiful.

K's Path: Kuwait Society For The Protection Of Animals and Their Habitat Fatimah Al-Sabah We sit with Fatimah Al Sabah, and she shares her love and passion for animals, their habitat, and their environment.

‫المشهد المحلي مقابلة‬

Tell us a little bit about of yourself?

Around five years ago, I was volunteering at the Kuwaiti Society For the Protection of Animals and Their Habitat. All my life I wanted to find something that links my passion for animals and their environment together, I never thought it was going to be possible in Kuwait. I love the animals, the environment in our country, and of the world. I helped in every part of the organization, such as going 6 days a week. I truly think that my dedication showed to the people that founded it, and that’s when Aisha Al Humaidhi, founder and Chariman, invited me to help lead this organization as a Vice Chairman. It truly was a dream come true.

Where did the name, “Kuwait Society For The Protection Of Animals and Their Habitat” come from?

to make a greater change in society for the voiceless animals, we have to educate the public. Sometimes it is not on purpose that people abuse animals, or dump animals, they are just ignorant and do not understand the responsibility. An animal is always dependent on you forever.

Our volunteers are well informed before they start, so they know what they are doing. We like to keep the animals feeling that they are loved, even though they are in a shelter.

They make a huge difference in the lives of our animal, and they add a level of love that animals need.

Do you have animals up for adoption? If so, what is your adoption process?

Do you hold events? If so, what are they?

We do have animals up for adoption. We do an adoption interview, so we can know the history of the person, and their lifestyle. We encourage the entire family to come, because we need make sure that everyone wants the animal, and the animal we will place it with interacts with all of the family members. We have to match the pet with its best fit for the family. We need to make sure everyone is happy, including the animal.

The organization started in 2005, and it was first named “Animal Friends League.” It started as an animal shelter just for dogs and cats. It is Kuwait’s first legal non-profit organization in caring for their animals and their habitat specifically. Aisha realized that Kuwait did not have a shelter for all the homeless animals, animals that are found in the streets, or people saying “I do not want this animal anymore.”

It grew from there, because we noticed that there was a huge need for education. We are an open door shelter; we accept all the animals that come to us.

What does surrounding an animal mean?

K’s path has a greater appreciation for students, how do you hope to bring awareness to them?

How can people volunteer?

We work with students of all ages, from Nurseries to Universities. We believe that

We need to make sure that when you give this animal to us, which means we cannot give you any information about this animal. We are transferring the ownership from you to us.

We have a questionnaire so we can find out the background of the animal, behavior of the animal, and how the animal acts in a home.

Some people however, surrender an animal for reasons that are avoidable, and we have been able to keep their pets for misconceptions that they have.

You can email us at: volunteers@kspath.org, for more information. We give volunteers guidelines, a tour of the entire facility, and lead small workshops about basic care of an animal.

We have bark in the park, which is a dog show.

It is a fun event for dogs, and it is located in Ahmadi. We have an art exhibition, where artists can contribute and participate their art.

Both art and animal bring something inside us that we don’t always know what it is. We also hold kids day fun day, where it is a costume party, and they dress up as their favorite animal. We also have quiz nights. We hold our events for awareness and to raise funds for the organization. We have been running for 11 years.

An interesting fact you would like to add?

We have a marine conservation program; we go to ecologically rich beaches around the coast of Kuwait that remain neglected. We go to Slaibikhat, Shuwaikh Port, and so forth. These beaches are ecologically rich, because the area is mud flat, where it is a significant habitat for the marine species, birds, and desert species.

We clean the beach regularly with groups who would like to join us. It is a magical experience, because you can also see the flamingos, and mud skippers in the bay. We launched our education program where we go to schools and speak to children about our environment.

We just noticed a huge disconnect between Kuwaitis, people living in Kuwait, and the environment. We think nothing exists in it. We have the richest bio-diversity in our marine life.

LOYAC Teams up with Babson College The Leading Entrepreneurship Institution in Boston

We are happy to announce our agreement of cooperation to implement the social entrepreneurship project which falls under the youth initiatives program, reinforcing the sense of social responsibility in youth, as well as finding and devising solutions for important social issues. The program runs for six weeks, from 17th July 2016 until 27th August 2016, for youth aged 12 to 16 years.

It will encourage them to take initiative and be creative in finding solutions for social challenges by turning them into investment opportunities. This will serve to benefit both the young entrepreneur and the society.

36

Our aim in this program is to spread the concept that everyone is a winner, since businesses today must focus on benefiting the society as a whole instead of only aiming to make quick profit. Such initiatives teach youth social responsibility at an early age and that profit should be based on social justice and benefit for all.

Babson College is one of, if not the most important colleges in the field of entrepreneurial initiatives. Since we wanted to develop our programs in this field, which we started in 2013, and aimed to adopt an internationally recognized academic methodology, we found

that Babson is the best college to cooperate with. The agreement stated that from Babson will evaluate the needs of the Kuwaiti youth and develop LOYAC’s program, providing a full curriculum in cooperation with LOYAC’s management that targets this particular age group. Afterwards, Babson’s academics will train the instructors and consultants at LOYAC and monitor their performance, following up on and participating in the evaluation of the students’ projects. Signing this agreement with such a renowned and established academic institution is certainly a great honor to us, marking the beginning of our cooperation.

Short Films Go a Long Way American Film Showcase in Kuwait

Aaron Douglas Johnston and Tim Skousen are two American film makers that came to Kuwait as part of the American Film Showcase. The U.S. Embassy worked with the two film makers to have a 5 day workshop benefiting Kuwaiti film makers. We had the privilege of meeting Aaron and Tim and this is what we found out.

First thing they mentioned was that Kuwait has a hunger for film making as 100 applications were sent in for their workshop, however as an intensive workshop they were able to accept 25 applicants only.

Aaron, whose background is in sociology and international studies, realized during his mid-

38

20s that he, enjoyed researching communities and social phenomenons. Getting his hands dirty with real stories lead him to a career as an independent film maker, working with communities to produce narrative films. His short film “My sister’s Quinceanera”, which tells the story of a Mexican-American family living in Iowa, landed him his spot in the American Film Showcase.

Tim, on the other hand, is a narrative director he makes documentaries, as well as, commercials for a few household names. This is his sixth trip with the American Film Showcase. He sees a potential in Kuwait for film making, but

it should start with people working together.

By doing so, individuals will start to specialize, and that will lead to a better quality in the films they create.

One thing they truly agree on is that film making is a team sport, and that the community continues to work together.

The equipment is available, the stories are available, by working together individuals can grow together. Their advice is to not try and imitate Hollywood, create personalized films about the experience of being Kuwaiti.

Both Aaron and Tim, would love to come back again and have this workshop again.

Independence Day: Resurgence 20 years later they are coming back - and so is Hamilton

Watches

Hamilton Watches, recognized for their innovative and precise timepieces, as well as their leading role in the worlds of aviation and cinema return to the big screen this summer in 20th Century Fox’s new blockbuster, Independence Day: Resurgence, twenty years after the first movie Independence Day; features four Hamilton Timepieces.

Hamilton’s presence in Independence Day: Resurgence is the latest in over 450 movie placements for Hamilton. The first collaboration was 65 years ago when the brand’s watches first appeared in The Frogmen. Since then, Hamilton has worked closely with costume designers and prop masters to supply watches to filmmakers.

Independence Day: Resurgence will be released globally in cinemas starting June 22nd.

We always knew they were coming back.

After ‘Independence Day’ redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global spectacle on an unimaginable scale.

Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.

The film is directed by Roland Emmerich, who directed the first chapter, as well as other blockbusters such as The Day After Tomorrow.

Independence Day: Resurgence stars Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Maika Monroe, Travis Trope, William Fichtner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Judd Hirsch, Jessie Usher, Sela Ward, Brent Spiner, Vivica A. Fox, and Angelababy. #TimeMatters Time matters as the world unites to save the planet against alien invasion and human destruction. Fighting from the skies is pilot Jake Morrison, played by Liam Hemsworth, and wearing a robust Khaki X-Wind automatic chronograph. Built for adventure and proudly supporting its military heritage, this powerful timepiece is perfectly adapted for all defense missions. The pushers on the 44 millimeter stainless steel case are uniquely built to form

an X, while the brown calf leather strap ads a stylish vintage touch. Inside, its automatic movement powers chronograph and day-date functions, as well as a driftangle calculator created specifically for pilots so they can measure crosswinds. Even when using alien technology, keeping track of time is essential, and the Hamilton Khaki X-Wind will scrupulously answer the need for precision.

The action-packed Independence Day: Resurgence also stars some other Hamilton timepieces worn by additional cast members, starting with Jeff Goldblum wearing an elegant Jazzmaster automatic with GMT function to keep track of time in the different cities during the alien invasion. A Thinomatic can be seen on the wrist of Bill Pullman, and James A. Woods will be wearing a Khaki Pilot Automatic Chronograph,selected for their timekeeping precision and militaryinspired design – because #TimeMatters when the earth is under attack.

Rado expands its collection of open heart timepieces

Watches

Swiss watchmaker Rado is gladdening the hearts of fashion and watch aficionados alike with its latest creation, the Centrix Open Heart. A collection of decorative diamond-studded models now follows on the heels of the open heart Centrix pieces that debuted late last year.

Three standout pieces from the ladies’ Centrix Open Heart collection merit a closer look. Two of the watches feature polished high-tech ceramic middle links in white or brown – perfect for a boho chic look – while those aiming for more understatement may opt for the model with a classic brown leather strap. The striking 33 mm dial is enclosed in a gold-colored case and studded with 12 Top Wesselton diamonds. However, as the name suggests, the real star of this watch is its pulsating open heart.

48

The stuff of legends, the bottom half of the timepiece’s mechanics is left completely exposed, revealing the intricate sunray guilloche pattern of the decorated Swiss movement below through the upside-down crescentshaped dial. A stylized keyhole at noon further reveals the beating heart of the automatic movement, adding depth and mystery to the look. The unique shape of the dial was inspired by imagery of the romantic legend behind Chinese Valentine’s Day, also known as the Night of Sevens or the Magpie Festival.

For gents, the Rado Centrix family offers two equally legendary open heart models – one with chocolate brown high-tech ceramic middle links, and the other with a sumptuous chocolate-colored leather bracelet. Turning exquisite engineering and craftsmanship into works of prêt-à-porter art, the gents’ Centrix models feature cut-out dials that strategically reveal key elements of the pulsating Swiss movement inside. For both models, the handsome horological package is tidily enclosed in sleek 38 mm case.

To see such grass roots initiatives taking place truly sends ripples of positive change and gives us hope that more effort will be put into raising the standard and reforming women sports in Kuwait.

We have selected a number of amazing women football players for our readers and asked them about their favorite sport, they come from different walks of life, but are united by one game!

Noura Al Ameeri Team: West WIng Jersey Number: 4 Age: 27 Years of Experience in football: 17 years What made you play football?

I first started playing football as a child with my brothers and relatives. At that time my skills were equal to that of the boys I played against and anyone who watched me play used to tell me that I have future in this game. This made my love for the game grow even more and so I gathered my friends every Wednesday and played in the park next to my school. Until, I eventually entered high school where I officially started competing in tournaments with my team that shares the love of the game with me. We cheered for each other both in and outside the field and to this day we still play together (jude and may alahmad, reem almulla, dai and najla alsaeed). And thankfully the results are both honoring and motivating. Afterwards, I joined the university team where I also earned best player or top scorer awards. It’s those accomplishments that push me to continue playing with passion.

Where do you see football going?

At this moment it is better than any time before. However, we still lack professionalism, because in my opinion the first step is to have a women’s team in Kuwaitis football clubs and have a league for those teams. This will allow a proper national team to be chosen.

I sincerely hope the responsible agencies take this matter seriously as there are many talented women whose football skills are as good as other national teams around the world but unfortunately they lack the proper care and foundation.

What would you say to girls who want to play football?

“Play football with passion”

Jude Al Ahmad Team: West Wing Jersey Number: 11 Age: 26 Years of Experience in football: 18 years What made you play football: Growing up in a family that loves football, I used to watch football matches with my father and my brother when I was young and that pushed me towards playing football. I started playing football with my relatives in our backyard when I was just 8 years old, there was a lot of competition between us as to who was the best player and that made me stronger because I always wanted to prove to them that a girl can beat a guy in sports. By the age of 12 years I realised that I wanted to play professionally, and for the next 2-3 years I kept on pursuing that goal until me and my friends established our first football team when I was in high school where we participated in many tournaments over the years. I learned that playing in a team is very different to play in the backyard of a house, one of the main differences is team work.

Another difference is the commitment to the team, where we used to train daily to improve ourself to be the best team in Kuwait.

Where do you see football going?

For me I think that in Kuwait, professional women’s football is a very distant dream, for many reasons, one of which is the downfall of sport in Kuwait. Therefore, I think that whenever the sport in Kuwait recovers from the downfall, then there is always hope for women football to become a profession in Kuwait. Also, I have to mention that women football has grown remarkably during the years, as the number of teams have increased and the competition became more fierce.

Reem Al Mulla Team: West Wing Jersey Number: 10 Age: 27 Years of experience playing football: 18 years.

What made you play football: One person: my dad. When I was a kid, he would make me watch games instead of cartoons, play with a ball instead of barbies, and took me to the world cup instead of Disneyland. He passed his passion for football to me, and I couldn’t be more thankful. When I first started playing, I used to try mimicking the players I watched on TV. Players like Figo, Ronaldinho, and Roberto Carlos were my heroes, and I would watch videos of them over and over again, practicing their moves until I got it right. I would test these skills at school the next day against my male classmates in the playground. I started out my being picked last, but day-by-day they were seeing how good I was getting and eventually became the kid that actually picked the team.

When I moved schools a couple of years later, I actually started playing competitively, thus learning the meaning of teamwork. We would practice after school three times a week for months before traveling and competing against other GCC schools. As a team that played together from 8th to 12th grade, we won a medal almost every year, and it felt awesome.

The feeling you get when winning a hard game is somewhat euphoric, and I was addicted.

Almost all my teammates stopped playing after high school, I couldn’t. Something in me wouldn’t let me stop, the love I had for the game. I continued playing all through university, met girls who shared my passion, and eventually joined them and won more medals and trophies in the upcoming years. Today, I can’t go a week without playing at least one game. I love every part of football, the blood, the sweat, and the tears. As the great Thierry Henry once said “I eat football. I sleep football. I breathe football.

I’m not mad, just passionate.”

Where do you see football going?

In Kuwait, I see somewhat of a growth with women playing football. More girls are getting into it and society is kind of accepting it.

However, when it comes to professional football for women, we’re far off. The reason I say that is because men aren’t getting the attention and care they deserve, how will women? Kuwaiti players who play for clubs here also have to work jobs in the morning, which is exhausting as you can imagine. Once we can get male players to have professional contracts with playable fields and specialized staff then we might have a chance for women.

What would you say to girls who want to play football?

Never stop playing, and keep believing.

Fajer Al Amer Team: Vamos Jersey Number: 11 Age: 24 Years of experience playing football: 7 years What made you play: I started playing football at a very young age.

I used to play with my cousins out in the open almost every day. It started off as being a hobby and something I would do regularly for fun. However, soon enough I started loving the sport and pursuing it more seriously. It became my passion. 2010 marked the year in which football would become more than just a hobby, it became somewhat a career. I started participating in tournaments and playing legitimately. In 2010, I joined both a local tournament as well as a tournament abroad, both in which I gained a lot of experience from. Not only do I enjoy playing football, but I love watching it as well. I support Barcelona, as do half of the Kuwaiti population! Since then, I have been in multiple tournaments and been a part of many different teams. As of 2014, I have been a part of Vamos, which have been undefeated. I am very grateful for the wonderful experiences I have had and wouldn’t be the player I am today without them.

Where do you see football going: Honestly, in Kuwait I do not see football going far, however I hope to be wrong.

This is because of the heads of the sports department, who should not be in charge since they are not athletes and don’t really care about the sport. They do not even care about men playing football, how will they take us women seriously? Also, we are prone to multiple injuries during this sport as well as tournaments abroad, which we have to treat and pay for ourselves. Our country is more well off than other countries financially, however other countries who aren’t as privileged are preceding us in sports. I would like to see girls aspire in this field and pursue what the love.

It is a wonderful sport and in my opinion we would be very successful in it.

What would you say to girls who want to play football?

My advice to girls who want to play football is regardless of the sexism and lack of enthusiasm in our society today; if you love it keep on playing. We are the future and if we are determined I believe we can change the minds of the department.

Stay Tuned… Next Issue we will be profiling more women football players!

Chris Brown Fined in Amsterdam Riding without a License Plate Chris Brown in the spotlight, this time of a police car! A tour around Europe, what better way to enjoy it than purchase brand new dirt bikes to ride around Amsterdam, what could go wrong?

Well, forgetting to put a license plate on the bike; Brown was stopped by the police, taken in and fined $500. The singer shared his run in with the law on Instagram, sharing a video of himself at the police station.

“So we’re in Amsterdam. We’re in the police station,” Chris Brown said in the video. “We gotta pay this fine. Man, didn’t have no tags.

Bike life.” He followed with another video saying the police were nice about it.

He also gave a few tips ensuring not to do the same mistake: “Public service announcement, kids. Do not ride motor vehicles without license plates,” he added. “Sorry, we just bought the bikes.

Forgot about the license plate. Yeah. So. We’re handling the situation as is. But the police are really nice about it, man. I actually like the police out here. They’re cool. For real.”

Chris Brown is currently on his “One Hell of a Nite Tour” in Europe, and is set to perform in Mallorca, Spain on June 18.

Cat Fight!

Kardashian and Swift have their claws out Apparently, there’s also video proof of Kanye’s phone call with the country singer, who “totally” approved the song. “I swear, my husband was doing proper protocol and even called to get it approved,” Kim said.

“What rapper would call a girl that he was rapping a line about to get approval?”

The fight never ends. Kim Kardashian defends her husband while calling out Taylor Swift. Following the release of Kanye West’s “Famous” in The Life of Pablo album, a mention of Swift in the song does not come off well.

Kardashian is saying Swift is playing victim, when in fact, she approved the song and the lyrics from the start. Kim Kardashian told GQ magazine, “She totally knew that song was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn’t.”

Kim continued, “she said, when I get on the Grammy red carpet, all the media is going to think that I’m so against this, and I’ll just laugh and say, ‘The joke’s on you, guys. I was in on it the whole time.’”

Obviously, that’s not what happened. Kim said, “She completely dissed my husband.”

It didn’t stop there, Swifts rep fire back by saying: “She declined to do it on the phone call. Kanye West never told her about the lyrics referencing her. He never played the song for her. She was humiliated when she heard the song. The couple should just leave her alone.”

The artwork took Mohammed Maya 6 weeks of hard work and focus and the outcome was absolutely worthwhile. “I had not expected to win at all,” said the first place winner, despite his strong effort. He added: “I worked every day for a month and a half and I’m very delighted that I won the first place”.

The second place winner was participant Omar Al Hamad who won 750 K.D for his antiquated car with touches that made it look rusty and vintage. The third place went to participant Huda Jassim who won 500 K.D for an artwork that was no less creative or insightful as the two winners. Her art piece was not only well designed but also rich in concept as it portrayed a woman’s face where each part connected to a large blue frame, which she named “Pieces of Me”.

“I wanted to design an artwork that symbolizes a woman with a strong character who defies hardships and keeps herself together”, she commented when asked about the piece of art.

The 2nd Place Winning Artwork by Omar Al Hamad

This year, a new category was featured; in addition to the physical art, the digital displayed art was introduced to the competition for the first time. The digital displayed art could be a work of art that can be displayed on a screen and should include a digital version of the Red Bull can in the final piece, and submissions could take the form of an animation, a digital short film, stop motion, or GIF. As for the digital category, the first winner announced was Aisha Burahma, who received 1000 K.D for a unique digital artwork that starts as a sketch of a can with wings then turns into a real can of Red Bull.

The primary material/inspiration was a Red Bull can, but plenty of imagination and creativity was necessary too. The exhibition continued to receive guests and art enthusiasts until the 25th June at 360 Mall.
