With summer holiday plans well under way, we extend to you, your friends and families, well wishes for a restful and inspiring break.

We believe the experience of the journey is just as important as reaching the destination itself, and as such, recently designed enhancements have been unveiled on board.

The major change that you can see is Qatar Airways’ recently re-designed Inflight Entertainment platform called ‘Oryx One’, which includes a wide range of new options.

Oryx One features the very latest movies, DVD box sets, music, games, and so much more.

Additional service enhancements to be introduced soon are the new children’s pack, as well as new on board dining options, and comfort packs, to name a few.

In keeping with our tradition of growth and expansion, Qatar Airways has recently introduced the idyllic island of Zanzibar to our network last month, and in four months’ time Durban, South Africa, will come online. Durban will be Qatar Airways’ third route in South Africa.

Extending our warm Arabian hospitality is a signature mark of Qatar Airways’ service, and as we continue this focus on the customer experience, our passengers have validated this by voting us once again for Airline of the Year 2015 by Skytrax.

Your comfort and experience on board are important to us, and it gives us great pride that you have chosen Qatar Airways as part of your journey.

Wherever your travels may take you, we hope that Qatar Airways has made the start, or end, of your holiday or business trip an enjoyable one.

WelcomeGreetings from Qatar Airways and welcome on board.

HIS EXCELLENCY MR. AKBAR AL BAKER, Group Chief Executive of Qatar Airways

Al Pacino is one of Hollywood’s greatest actors of all time. The Godfather trilogy and a selection of his other iconic films are now playing on board.

Pakistani truck art embodies the culture, history, and traditions of the drivers, narrating dreams and stories of these people who are never really ‘home’.

Shaun Curran examines the legacy of one of Hollywood’s rare ‘stand-alone’ actors, because in a crowded marketplace

of talent vying for camera time, there’s no one quite like Al Pacino.

Al Pacino hasn’t so much powered his way to Hollywood heavyweight status; more, he’s slunk in, subtly morphing into roles that, while attention-grabbing at the time, have perhaps only become defining as the months and years pass. He’s an aggressive, fiery actor who is at the same time quiet, measured, and warm.

It is practically impossible not to feel some connection to this pioneering actor who has defined, shaped, and dominated modern cinema. Pacino has appeared in over 100 films and theatre productions across a length of service that spans four decades. He’s been nominated for eight Academy Awards – winning one in 1993 for Best Actor in

Scent of a Woman – as well as lifting five Golden Globes, two Emmys, a couple of Tony Awards, and a BAFTA.

But Pacino surpasses mere facts. In a legacy built up since his screen debut in 1969, the 75-year-old actor has perfected his unique amalgam of potency, assurance, and control. He has portrayed characters on both sides of the law – the corrupt and the incorruptible. He does explosive, deranged melodrama; he turns his hand to quiet contemplative menace. All the while, he is emphatically, wholeheartedly, and unmistakably Pacino.

Born into a family of Italian immigrants in East Harlem, New York City, in 1940, the Pacino story, as we know it, began in

1966. A splintered education and years pursuing his acting dream resulted in destitution and homelessness, yet an ever-optimistic Alfredo James Pacino fell under the tutelage of world-famous acting coach Lee Strasberg at the Actor’s Studio in New York. It was here he learned method acting – a technique he became renowned for later in his career: to prepare for Frankie and Johnny he worked shifts in a café tossing pancakes; while for his Oscar-winning turn as Lt. Col. Frank Slade in Scent of a Woman he practised sleeping with his eyes open to reflect his character’s blindness.

The years during his training were spent on various New York stages, and he eventually made his way to Broadway, winning a Tony Award for Best

Enabling organizational change

Supporting Actor for Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie? Yet Pacino was still a relatively unknown film actor in 1972. Suddenly and dramatically, all that changed. Over the course of the next half-decade, he mastered a sequence of roles portraying multifaceted, doomed outcasts. There was the committedly straight-laced policeman Frank Serpico in Serpico, then the story inspired by John Wojtowicz in Dog Day Afternoon.

But it was as the passive-aggressive, reluctant yet impenetrable mafioso Michael Corleone in The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II that Pacino made his name. The role had been handed to him at Director Francis Ford Coppola’s insistence (to fierce resistance from studio bosses and the film’s production team, given Pacino’s still largely unproven status).

While The Godfather made a star of Pacino, it also meant his personal life became public property. A string of high-profile relationships meant every move he made was big news, even when other actors came in trying to wrestle the top spot from him.

Sure enough, the 1980s were a struggle professionally, where true critical and commercial success – his unhinged performance as Tony Montana in Scarface aside – was difficult to attain. By anyone’s definition, in the era of the power blockbuster franchise, Pacino was out of kilter with box-office big business, and Revolution’s dismal failure in 1985 even precipitated a four-year barren spell in which the actor had, by his own admission, semi-retired.

The 1990s brought about a sea-change. A year after The Godfather belatedly (and controversially) completed its trilogy in 1990, Frankie and Johnny, a lovely romantic comedy in which his reformed jailbird attempts to woo Michelle Pfeiffer, set the tone for Pacino’s renaissance.

INCH BY INCHOne of Pacino’s most famous scenes, his inspirational speech given as head coach of the fictional Miami Sharks in Any Given

Sunday, has long been regarded as one of the finest motivational speeches ever, and is used by sports coaches and company managers the world over. It has also been studied closely by linguists for its use, amongst others things, of extreme antithesis (“heal or crumble”), metaphor (“fight our way back into the light”), self-criticism (“I can’t even stand the face I see in the mirror”), and parallelism (“winning and losing, living and dying”).

AL PACINO

Over the next decade Pacino rediscovered his verve. His roles in a series of varying yet compellingly nuanced films were all box-office hits: Scent of a Woman, Heat, Donnie Brasco, The Insider, and Any Given Sunday.

The new millennium has found Pacino’s output patchy – 2002’s Insomnia is generally thought to have been his last great film – but when he does get back in front of a camera it’s an even split between Hollywood comedies, biopics, and singular, controversial characters.

Still searching for the role that will transcend, Pacino gives only occasional indications that his time is up. And for that we should be grateful – quite simply, screen legends don’t come much more legendary than Al Pacino, nor should they ever be allowed to float away into obscurity.

SELF-HELP

Popular series (Terry Pratchett’s Discworld and Stieg Larsson’s Millennium) are enhanced with new instalments; historic figures the Wright brothers are presented with unprecedented detail; and one of literature’s iconic works, To Kill a Mockingbird, gains a new perspective with a decades-old but previously unreleased related tale.

The Girl in the Spider’s Web by David LagercrantzGenius hacker Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist return, following up Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest.

Triggers by Marshall Goldsmith and Mark ReiterIts extended title, Triggers: Creating Behavior That Lasts – Becoming the Person You Want to Be, ambitiously sets forth the promise that renowned executive coach Marshall Goldsmith can guide readers away from negatively reactive trigger points in their everyday lives. Crown Business (May 19, 2015)

Go Set a Watchman by Harper LeeThe buzz surrounding the release of Watchman is deafening, as the book – the first draft of Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning To Kill a Mockingbird – not only confirms the enduring brilliance of Mockingbird, but also serves as its essential companion, adding depth, context, and a vital understanding to an all-time classic. Harper, First Edition edition (July 14, 2015)

The Wright Brothers by David McCulloughTwo-time Pulitzer winner McCullough tells the surprising story of Wilbur and Orville Wright, whose quest for flight is thrillingly detailed through the riches of the Wright Papers: private diaries, notebooks, scrapbooks, and more than a thousand letters. Simon & Schuster (May 5, 2015)

The Establishment by Owen JonesExamining the heart of Britain’s establishment, journalist Owen Jones links the lobbies of Westminster to the newsrooms, boardrooms, and trading rooms, questioning whether those at the top are really acting in the public’s best interests.

The Shepherd’s Crown by Terry PratchettAn old enemy is gathering strength and Tiffany Aching must summon all the witches to stand in defence. This final Discworld series entry stands as Pratchett’s last work before his passing earlier this year.

ABANO GRAND HOTEL, VENETO, ITALY Fango clay wrapThe Anti-Ageing Thermal Spa at this Veneto hotel is one of the first spas to capitalise on the prized fango thermal clay that abounds in the Euganean Hills of Italy’s countryside. The clay has countless benefits, including anti-ageing, detoxification, immune support, and regeneration. It is applied in a warm, soothing wrap, followed by a thermal water bath and refreshing aromatherapy massage. A series of three to four treatments over a week-long stay at the comprehensive wellness resort is recommended for maximum (and very visible!) results. ANANDA IN THE HIMALAYAS,

RISHIKESH VALLEY, INDIA Udwarthana massageA restored viceroy’s palace, Ananda in the Himalayas has garnered accolades from the likes of the Telegraph and Travel + Leisure. Its Ayurvedic Udwarthana massage is a deep, dry massage that utilises special herbal powders that break down the body’s excess subcutaneous fat. These powders are massaged through the skin with unique strokes towards the heart, affecting the kapha nature of the body and giving a toning and firming effect.

The pampering begins with a Khmer body massage of herbal oils.

Next, heated traditional poultices packed with medicinal leaves,

herbal powders, and spices are applied to the skin to

achieve instant relaxation and wellbeing.

Let’s face it, travelling with children isn’t the same as those carefree, child-free days: lounging by the pool with a pile of books, siestas in the afternoon, and drinks before dinner...

Life changes when kids are on the scene... but it doesn’t have to be as drastic as it initially seems. Hotels are recognising that parents want to have time to relax too, and have come up with some great solutions to keep the kids entertained so the adults can have some alone time (or just sleep!). Nichola West picks five luxury hotels that you can really enjoy as a family.

Alila Villas Soori, Bali: Not only a five-star stay but an opportunity for little ones to learn Balinese or even cook up local dishes with the resort’s pastry chef. Balinese music and traditional dances can also be learned as part of the daily activities – a great way to get children interested in the real culture when they are on holiday. alilahotels.com/soori

Singita Sweni Lodge, South Africa: Kids can become mini rangers at this lodge set within a 13,500-hectare private concession in the Kruger National Park. Singita offers a Mini Rangers’ course that includes tracking animals; frogging; butterfly capture and release; a cosmic safari (astronomy); and learning bush survival techniques amongst many others. singita.com

The Athenaeum, Mayfair, London: With their own children’s concierge, you know it’s going to be good in this Mayfair hotel where the kids’ menu has even been designed with the help of children. The apartments that run alongside the main hotel are a real home away from home, with lovely details to help it feel really luxurious. athenaeumhotel.com

The Westin, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: With ice lollies at the swimming pool and a fantastic kids’ club, which includes storytelling and puppet shows, this is a hotel the children won’t want to leave. The Westin describes the hotel as being filled with laughter, and the playroom and gift bags will ensure your break gets off to the best start. thewestinkualalumpur.com

Le Royal Monceau, Raffles, Paris: Pure decadence just a hop and skip from the Arc de Triomphe. Think milk and cookies before bedtime, a PlayStation to keep little ones entertained, your own guitar if you’re feeling musical, and even a bath ready and run at the temperature and time you choose. This is a hotel to relax in as a family and where children are very welcome. leroyalmonceau.com

What’s in my travel bag

British designer Julien Macdonald dresses the world’s most photographed women, and his exquisitely crafted red-carpet creations never fail to turn heads. His signature style favours dazzling embellishment, feminine silhouettes, and a generous dose of fun. Over the course of his career he’s worked for Chanel and Alexander McQueen, and in 2001 he became Creative Director of Givenchy. Words by Libby Banks

“I always try to get away and get inspired. Most recently I went to Bali, and I just adored it. I think everyone would love to be woken by the sound of the sea and with the view of an incredible black volcanic beach. Every morning I woke up and did yoga. In the afternoons I’d visit villages to seek out local textiles, batik fabrics, woven tapestries, traditional masks, and dance costumes. It’s a wonderfully culturally rich place with amazing craftspeople. I left brimming with ideas for my next collection.

“For my next trip I’d love to go to New Zealand and see the countryside. I’d also love to go to Oman – it’s supposed to have amazing mountains, and I’d love to go rock climbing.

“I’m a huge fan of shopping at airports – on the way to Bali we stopped off at Hamad International Airport – it’s a duty-free haven and had an amazing selection of stores. Last time I went a bit wild!” dohahamadairport.com

“When I travel, I always take a black cashmere tracksuit to sleep in. James Perse does resort attire that’s very chic, modern, and laid-back. I have a case full of his clothes so when I go on holiday it’s all ready to go!” jamesperse.com

“Another thing I can’t get enough of is Elemis products – they are my secret to fashion week survival, and when I go away on holiday I make sure that I’m stocked up!” elemis.com

“I love travelling on an aeroplane – the peace and quiet is always a huge source of inspiration for me. I also seem to write loads of notes when I’m going to or coming back from somewhere.” smythson.com

“When I get to new places I like to learn about what’s around me. In my experience it’s always better to find out about an area by asking the locals instead of relying on a guidebook. I always take my Apple iPad mini and iPhone – that’s all I need.” apple.com

Qatar Airways has three flights a day from Doha to Kuala Lumpur, with onward connections to Langkawi.

LangkawiThe rugged, jungle-covered hillsides of Langkawi in northwest Malaysia provide sweeping views over the turquoise Andaman Sea all the way to Thailand. Though the destination has fine resorts, development is low-key, leaving much of the island to lush waterfall-studded rainforest and offshore marine parks noted for their coral, shoals of tropical fish, and karst outcrops.

Gunung Mulu National ParkThe extensive cave network, spectacular karst landscape, and dense equatorial rainforest of this national park in northern Sarawak in Borneo have made it a World Heritage Site. Wildlife includes macaques and gibbons, monitor lizards, mouse deer, squirrels, and spectacular hornbills. The intrepid can hike the Headhunter’s Trail, which involves travel upriver, jungle trekking, and an overnight stay in a longhouse, or explore vast caves, including the world’s largest natural chamber and largest cave passage.

MelakaMelaka (Malacca) is Malaysia’s most historic town, founded as one of the country’s earliest sultanates but taken over by the Portuguese in 1511. You can see the ruins of their massive fort and church, as well as the elegant pink town hall and bright-red church of the Dutch who followed.

SabahOrangutans are the prime reason many visit the wild and rugged state of Sabah on the island of Borneo. Certainly Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre outside Sandakan is a must-see for the antics of the adorable but endangered orangutans, and to learn about their conservation. But Sabah is also a destination for soft-adventure sports, from white-water rafting on the Padas River to snorkelling on coral reefs or sailing the islands offshore from the state capital, Kota Kinabalu.

Cameron HighlandsThose who want to escape the heat and humidity of lowland Malaysia can head to the hills, and there’s no better retreat than this highland station established by the British, with its pretty colonial-style hotels and afternoon teas. With elevations over 1,300m (and reaching 1,829m), the air is cool and the scenery is splendid, encompassing forested hills, serried rows of tea bushes, waterfalls, and distant blue peaks.

Albany Highway was one of the earliest roads in Perth, starting as a wagon trail in the 1830s before being laid as a hand-sawn wooden-plank road by convict labour in the 1860s, and replaced with bitumen after the First World War.

Albany Highway starts at Heirisson Island, a wildlife sanctuary with some rare unspoilt wetlands in the middle of the city, where the causeway crosses the Swan River. This is one of the most picturesque parts of Perth, with iconic views of the city from the South Perth foreshore.

is a hive of activity, offering everything from community workshops to critically engaged contemporary exhibitions.

This part of town offers an alternative to the beachside tourist hotspots (as elsewhere); there is a busy, working-class atmosphere that puts you into the heart of Perth life. Restaurants are basic, value-for-money, and serve good authentic food reflecting the multicultural mix of the area. Bravo’s Pizza, with its friendly service and big plates, and Elie’s Tent, a well-established family-run Lebanese restaurant, are preferred choices. The International Eating House is another favourite, popular despite a certain lack of décor, but it reputedly serves the best Chinese BBQ and takeaway teriyaki chicken for under AU$10 in the city.

Walking through McCallum Park inland towards East Victoria Park, the area is cosmopolitan, with a mix of cafés and assorted little shops and businesses. It offers a wealth of cultural influences and a sense of identity with its strong presence of Asian grocers and restaurants, continental delis and markets, and Italian, Greek, Turkish, Vietnamese, Lebanese, Malay, Indonesian, Chinese, Indian and, more recently, African aspects.

While this stretch of Albany Highway is known for its restaurants, The Good Store has an intriguing assortment of giftware incorporating clever design.

JAPANOctober is one of the most pleasant months for travelling in Japan, as the weather is still warm but no longer hot and humid. While many people visit Japan in spring to witness the cherry blossom (sakura), the country is just as spectacular in autumn, when the leaves change into a range of brilliant colours (koyo). Starting in mid-September, the ‘koyo front’ moves from the north until it reaches central and southern Japan towards the end of November. Lake Kawaguchiko is a must-see in late October, when the fiery-hued trees are lit up at night against the backdrop of Mount Fuji.

Oryx presents its insider’s tips for places to visit in October. Experience nature’s changing colours in Japan, people-watch in Amsterdam, and enjoy a crisp autumn stroll through Paris.

AMSTERDAM There’s no bad time to visit Amsterdam, as the city provides year-round entertainment. Although the weather is often wet, breezy, and changeable in October, you can always take shelter inside a cosy canal-side café or restaurant, and spend more time at the city’s renowned museums and galleries.

PARISAnother year-round destination, Paris is still a lot quieter in October than in summer, offering more space to wander around the city’s best museums and galleries. Enjoy crisp, sunny autumn mornings strolling through Paris’s many parks and gardens, and spend evenings admiring the view from behind the window of a warm Parisian restaurant.

GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ENGINEERING FROM TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY AT QATAR Graduate program applications now open for Spring 2016

The first Qatari A350 XWB licensed engineer, Faisal Alboinin, is one of the lucky few who gets to work first-hand with the world’s newest wide-body passenger aircraft. Away from the inspection site, Alboinin is a high-achiever with endless ambition. Interviewed by Heba Hashem

Why did you choose to become an aircraft mechanical engineer? When I graduated from high school, it was my lifetime dream to become a mechanical engineer, and one of the fields that attracted me the most was aircraft engineering. I joined Qatar Aeronautical College, where I studied for two and a half years, underwent job training for two years, and applied to become an aircraft engineer. It’s a challenging field; technology is continuously evolving, and it combines both mechanical and electrical engineering.

What are the must-have qualities to be an aircraft engineer? Self-confidence and integrity, because you’re dealing with an aircraft, which needs to be in a remarkable condition. And of course, knowledge. You must always be up to date and follow aviation

standards and regulations, which are vital to ensure passenger safety. Qatar Airways has a very stringent procedure for a person to become an aircraft engineer. It took me personally seven years from college until I was qualified to work with and certify aircraft.

What fascinates you about the A350? The Airbus A350 is unlike any other aircraft. Since Qatar Airways was the first operator of the A350, it was a great opportunity to prove myself, and a major step in my professional career.

Tell us about your ambitions. I’m currently undertaking a Master of Business Administration programme with Massey University in New Zealand, sponsored by Qatar Airways.

My ambition is to continue my studies with a doctorate, and advance within Qatar Airways so I can help enhance the organisation. I would also

like to develop my personal business, which is an antiques and vintage store.

Where will you travel next, and why? My next trip will be my honeymoon, and in May next year, I will visit New Zealand to attend my MBA graduation ceremony. In the future, I would like also to visit Canada and Croatia for outdoor activities, and Greece to explore its historical sights.

How do you like to unwind at the end of a long day? After a long day of work is usually a long night of studying for my MBA. It’s a temporary phase to get results in the future. Generally, I enjoy swimming and jogging, as they are good ways to relax. During Ramadan, I often go to pray and spend more time with my family, especially my mother, who is my biggest motivator and supporter, as well as my wife, who always encourages me.

Faisal Alboininfive minutes with

Few cars on film resonate as much as the Dodge Charger. From Bullitt to The Dukes of Hazzard, and then a resurgence with The Fast and the Furious movies, it has been a revered machine that virtually defined the ‘muscle car’ tag. So when Dodge decided to launch a new Charger, eyebrows were raised when it came with four doors.

Something was needed to compensate for its extra entrances, something to keep the enthusiasts happy. Plenty of power, then? Yes, that’ll do nicely. And add a catchy name? Sure thing – Dodge calls it the Charger SRT Hellcat.

Most saloons are saddled with soft suspension and a beige, boring image. Not so the Hellcat. For a start, Dodge has fitted it with Bilstein three-stage suspension that takes it from comfortable daily driver to solid track tearer. The interior has been enhanced with Alcantara accents (though it’s still very American inside), and the exterior is certainly more graphic than a standard sedan.

It’s under the bonnet, though, where the real story lies. Dodge has endowed the Charger with a 6.2l V8 – proper American muscle. But natural aspiration wasn’t enough. Bolted to the engine is a massive supercharger, which compresses the fuel/air mixture with such force that it takes 80bhp just to turn it over. The end result is a whopping 707bhp from the powertrain which, combined with a fast-shifting eight-speed auto, slingshots the Charger Hellcat to 100kph in 3.7 seconds, and then onto a quarter-mile run in 11 seconds. This makes it the quickest-accelerating four-door car ever to roll off a production line.

It will also top out at a rather ridiculous 328kph; no other saloon can match that. Nor would it want to. The Charger’s heritage is a rather hard act to follow, as is its drive experience. And kicking off at US$63,995, the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is somewhat of a bargain.

Based on its attributes, the Charger is set for even more appearances on the silver screen.

WRX STI Another car with cult status is the Subaru WRX STI. Originally built to tackle the World Rally Championship, the WRX gained a reputation for reliability, brilliant grip, and plenty of tuning potential. While it shone on ball-bearing gravel rally stages, street racers soon realised it was a formidable weapon on tarmac. The latest model is no different. Turbocharged 2.5l four-cylinder, all-wheel-drive, in six-speed manual, it launches from 0 to 100kph in just 4.9 seconds, but its handling of corners widens the eyes and challenges stomach integrity. With physics-defying grip, its handling is second to none – it slingshots at pace out of corners. Solid build and plenty of space round out the WRX STI. Grass, gravel, snow, track – as a complete package, this Subaru will shine in any environment.

TWG Tea: A new way to drink teaWhen a Parisian tea blender decided to set up shop in Asia, he was warned about the challenges that lay ahead. Today, however, business is booming. Craig Butcher talks to TWG Tea founder Taha Bouqdib from his headquarters in Singapore.

G T

Taha Bouqdib dreamed of creating the world’s most luxurious teahouse, continuing a thousand-year tradition of tea selling, but knew he’d have to do it in a new way.

“We decided to do something that was timeless, that was old but not something for your grandparents. The product could be young, traditional, and also change every six months, like the fashion industry. We decided on Singapore because it was roughly in the middle of Asia.

“When we opened in 2008, we had the world financial crisis. It was amazing because our store was full – bankers and CEOs were coming in to have a cup of tea and to come up with some solutions. When I saw that, I made a decision to go big, globally, immediately. Today we have 50 Tea Salons & Boutiques in 15 countries, and we distribute to more than 40 countries around the world.”

But there was more to it than just good timing, particularly in a city where restaurants routinely provide tea for free. “I am very proud of my first blend. We launched in August 2008, during the [Chinese] Moon Festival. I created a blend called ‘Silver

Moon’ – a mix of Chinese and Japanese green teas with some rare red fruits from southern France. It was an amazing success. We printed 14,000 labels for the first month, but sold it all in the first week. Eight years later, it’s still our most successful blend.”

Ingredients are impeccably sourced – Sicilian bergamot from Italy, rose from Grasse in southern France, blue cornflower from Provence. No chemicals are used. Taha buys directly from specialist tea gardens. “I can see with my own eyes how they treat people, that they’re happy.” Many of the teas are organic, “But we don’t mention this because we don’t want our customers to think our non-organic teas aren’t as good.”

At Hamad International Airport, more than 450 kinds of TWG Tea are available. When the full-concept Tea Salon & Boutique opens in the city of Doha in October, there will be more than 800 varieties of fine harvest and exclusive tea blends to choose from.

“It’s not like tea used to be,” Taha says. “It’s a new way to drink a cup of tea.” TWG Tea selection is now available in Marmalade Market at Hamad International Airport in Doha.

Elsewhere in the souq you will find women weaving the traditional red, black, and white Sadu textiles.

Bonsai in Japanese means ‘plant in a pot’, while penjing in Chinese means ‘landscape in a pot’. Bonsai artists only work with trees, presenting and maintaining them in a container to portray a natural scene. Penjing is a much wider concept, encompassing a similar theme. Natural stones or rocks might accompany or enhance one or several trees in a display, or an entire composition may be created with rocks as the main component.

In addition, the rigid regulations of bonsai don’t apply in penjing, allowing for a greater freedom of expression and artistic experimentation. There is less emphasis on following specific rules and more on bringing out the ‘spirit’ of the tree.

Even in tree (shumu) penjing, Chinese creations often look very different from their Japanese counterparts. Bonsai can look more formal, whereas penjing

designs can appear bolder, livelier, and sometimes even quite strange.

Artists are not as concerned with the final result as with the slow process of revealing the character of the tree, and in doing so, capturing their understanding of nature and their unique perception of the world around them. One of the most beautiful aspects of penjing is its variety, displaying as much variation as the regions in which it has developed and is practised.

In Imperial China, penjing was an art of the scholar, and modern artists still take their inspiration from the literati arts that the scholars enjoyed, particularly painting, poetry, calligraphy, and garden art.

Penjing artists often use small miniatures like figurines, bridges, pagodas, and boats in their designs

Often confused as simply the Chinese form of bonsai, penjing is actually the ancient traditional Chinese art form from which Japanese bonsai is derived.

While their similarities do outweigh their differences, they are two separate practices.

COLLECTIONSTYPES OF PENJING

USA: THE NATIONAL BONSAI AND PENJING MUSEUM, at the US National Arboretum in Washington DC, has one of the largest collections in North America.

CHINA: BEIJING BOTANICAL GARDEN in Haidian District, Beijing, also has a notable penjing collection.

CHINA: SHENZHEN QU YI GARDEN in Guangdong Province has more than 2,000 penjing, ancient pots, and art stones.

CHINA: GUANGZHOU LIUHUA WESTERN GARDEN, located in Liuhua Lake Park in Guangdong, is a special research and promotion site for the Lingnan School of Penjing.

WATER-AND-LAND PENJING (shuihan penjing)This relatively new form combines the former two types of penjing and uses both trees and rocks to represent a landscape, as well as a water feature, which could be a river, a creek, or the shoreline of a lake.

LANDSCAPE PENJING (shanshui penjing)A landscape is created using rock as the main artistic medium. Small trees or accent plants may or may not be incorporated into the design; if they are included, they play a minor role in the overall composition.

TREE PENJING (shumu penjing)This form is most similar to the Japanese concept of bonsai. The composition consists of one or several trees as the dominant element; rocks may or may not be used as supportive design elements.

because they are things often found in Chinese landscape painting. They’re used sparingly and tastefully to enhance the scene or to establish a sense of proportion.

Like literati ink paintings, literati-style penjing has a refined elegance and simplicity, distinguished by a lone trunk with sparse foliage. The literati style is a favourite of Zhao Qingquan, one of the penjing artists best known to Western audiences.

A leader in the renaissance of penjing, Zhao is a pioneer in the water-and-land (shuihan) form of penjing, which he likens to a three-dimensional painting or a wordless poem: simple, symbolic, and resonant with feeling.

Zhao doesn’t restrict himself to shuihan penjing; he also creates expansive landscape (shanshui) penjing and graceful tree (shumu) penjing.

His work transcends boundaries, borrowing from various schools of penjing and techniques from abroad to develop his own personal style that has earned him global critical acclaim in his field.

Another pioneer of the art form was Yee-sun Wu (1905–2005), a Hong Kong entrepreneur and billionaire who founded the Wing Lung Bank. He had a keen interest in penjing from an early age, inspired by his father and grandfather, and was particularly captivated by the lingnan style of penjing.

Lingnan is a ‘grow and clip’ method of penjing: instead of bending the branches with wires, the branches are clipped as they grow, creating tapered branches full of twists and turns. This method requires patience, dedication, careful attention to detail, and a more natural approach.

Yee-sun Wu’s accomplishments in this art form won him the accolade of the ‘Sage of Penjing’, and he dedicated much of his life to promoting the poetic beauty of penjing outside of China.

“It seemed to him a very Edinburgh thing. Welcoming, but not very.”

So wrote author Ian Rankin in one of his famous Inspector Rebus novels, which remain among the most accurate descriptions of present-day Edinburgh you can find. The city, it goes without saying, is very much a physical place: one defined as much by its ‘precipitous’ geology and ‘purgatorial’ climate (according to one of its 19th-century sons, Robert Louis Stevenson) as its history.

Yet Edinburgh is also an attitude: its inhabitants are invariably described as being somewhat reserved, respectable, and even a tad ‘old school tie’ – as might be expected from the city that is Scotland’s seat of government, learning, and law. It is, to quote Ian Rankin again, “a city the size of a town that feels like a village”.

However, there is another Edinburgh, one which can be experienced each and every August. This is an Edinburgh of surprise, pleasure, and entertainment, which just happens to be staged against one of the most beautiful cityscapes found anywhere in Europe.

It’s an Edinburgh where venues from the deepest Old Town sub-basement to the largest New Town public hall will suddenly burst with art, music, dance, theatre, comedy, and cabaret. It’s an Edinburgh where many a star has first found acclaim: the actor Sir Ian McKellen, for example, picked up his first great notices here while playing Richard II, back in 1969. © T

This Edinburgh – this ‘Edinburgh Festival’ to be more precise – holds on tightly to the accolade of being the largest arts celebration in the world. And yet, incredibly, most of its venues are located conveniently within just five kilometres of the iconic Edinburgh Castle in the heart of the city.

ONE ‘FESTIVAL’ – MANY FESTIVALS This Edinburgh Festival, though, is a genuinely curious phenomenon. For starters, it’s not technically ‘a festival’ at all; it actually consists of several overlapping and independently run festivals and events, most of which run during a three-week period in August.

The inaugural Edinburgh International Festival (EIF) ran in August 1947 with the aim of creating ‘a platform for the flowering of the human spirit’ by encouraging cultural connections between nations and peoples following the ravages of the Second World War. Nearly seven decades later, this proud tradition continues: the 2015 EIF includes

performances by Germany’s acclaimed Ballett am Rhein, Ballet Zürich, and the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as performances from Scotland’s most prestigious orchestras and theatre companies.

Yet something rather peculiar happened in 1947. Annoyed by the proposed festival’s deliberate dismissal of anything which wasn’t live theatre, classical music or ballet, the good people of the Edinburgh Film Guild – firmly believing cinema to be a legitimate 20th-century art form – decided to set up their own festival. The inaugural Edinburgh International Film Festival ran alongside the EIF. Nor were they alone in sensing an opportunity; eight theatre companies from across Britain also invited themselves to Edinburgh that August.

The Edinburgh International Film Festival is now the oldest continually running film festival in the world, although since 2008 it has run during late June. Meanwhile, those eight self-invited productions proved to be the foundation for what, as early as 1948, local journalist Robert Kemp was describing as “the fringe of official

No matter when you arrive, Edinburgh’s starkly beautiful vistas and historic cityscapes are bound to mesmerise – but it’s fair to say that the Scottish capital is just that extra bit

special each August, when the world’s performers come to town.

Edinburgh has many special features, but I think the best must be having a little bit of wilderness barely 1.6km from Edinburgh Castle at Holyrood Park.

Holyrood Park (also known as King’s Park or Queen’s Park, depending on the gender of the reigning monarch) consists of 263 hectares of varied landscape, including crags, moorland, and several small lochs. Public access to this Royal Park is via numerous paths, although it can be circumnavigated by road.

The park’s highest point is Arthur’s Seat (pictured here), a dormant volcano which rises 251m above sea level; the summit offers excellent views northwards across the Firth of Forth towards Fife, and the Lothians to the east, west, and south.

Notable points of interest include the ruins of the 15th-century St Anthony’s Chapel, and Duddingston Loch. Thanks to its diverse range of flora, fauna, and geology, the park is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest.

festival drama”. In 2015, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe consists of a massive 3,314 shows from 49 countries – a total of 50,459 performances during three-and-a-bit weeks!

The world-famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo, performed on the Castle Esplanade, has now run every August since 1950 – and has never once cancelled a performance, despite the occasionally ‘inclement’ Scottish weather – proving, if nothing else, that members of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces, as well as guest militaries from around the world, make rather determined performers!

A festival focusing on jazz and the blues was launched in 1978, although this now runs primarily in late July. The Edinburgh International Book Festival set up home within the picturesque Charlotte Square Gardens – located in the city’s beautiful Georgian New Town – in 1983. Like the Fringe, the Book Festival has since grown significantly in size; today, it remains the largest event of its kind in the world,

with more than 700 authors participating in its 2015 programmes – one for adults, the other designed specifically for children.

The Edinburgh Mela, an annual multicultural celebration hosted in one of the city’s largest public parks, Leith Links, launched in 1995. Instigated by the city’s own ethnic minority communities – in particular, those originating in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan – the Mela now offers an alluring mix of Eastern and Scottish culture during the last weekend of August.

EDINBURGH IN AUGUST Edinburgh in August is, for lack of a better word, buzzing, though it’s fair to point out that if you’re not keen on crowds, it might be best to give the city a miss at this time, as it can get extremely busy. (It’s generally agreed that Edinburgh’s population more than doubles during August.) Yet, arguably, this busyness is an integral part of the whole ‘Edinburgh in August’ experience – even if us

natives can get particularly touchy about the time it suddenly takes to get from point A to point B because the streets are full of crowds watching busking acrobats, while aspiring actors attempt to thrust flyers for their shows into the hands of anyone willing to take them.

Some things don’t change about Edinburgh, though; plenty of famous people have been amazed by how they can wander the city’s streets during August without being accosted. “Edinburgh is a fantastic city to live (in) if you’re well known,” according to globally famous author J. K. Rowling. “There is an innate respect for privacy in Edinburgh people.”

That’s very ‘Edinburgh’ at any time of the year; but the thing about the city in August is how it can also inspire memories that will stay with you for years to come, and help bond you with anyone else who has experienced the city in August. That’s an Edinburgh that can stay with us all.

Dekh Magar Pyar Say (Look With The Eyes Of Love)

Pakistani truck art embodies the culture, history, and traditions of the drivers, narrating dreams and stories of these people who are never really ‘home’.

Karachi resident Umair Mohsin explores this explosive expression of folk art in which the actual form is an escape from the mundane realities of ordinary life.

There’s a metalworker creating repoussé tigers, and bento-box-inspired wood panelling is taking shape under its maker’s deft hands. A man with bright-orange fluorescent compounds – varnishes that illuminate in the dark – decorates the exterior of a truck with Mogul patterns mixed with shimmering gilt peacocks and fish twirls.

The interiors are retrofitted with outlandish ornaments and dazzling accessories fringed in silk and satin embroidery, crammed with cheap plastic flowers and miniature chandeliers. Through it all, the latest Bollywood tune crackles out of a tinny mobile-phone speaker.

To understand this art’s beginnings one must understand Pakistan’s geography and its people. Pakistan has no navigable rivers and no developed rail system. Road travel is therefore vital to Pakistan’s economy, yet of the roads – with almost 300,000km networking across the country – good ones are few and far between. In rural areas especially, there is poor or no signage, roads are

potholed, and no street lighting is present. So it’s the functional aspects of extensive truck decoration that are important; the reflectors (chamak patti) and clanging metal warn other vehicles of the truck’s presence. Pakistani trucks, for all their ornateness, colour, and care, are still working trucks.

The truckers who drive these beasts are frequently stereotyped as brash and reckless, and are often marginalised by wider society. This is the driver who pines for a life from which he is absent. The image of his imagined home by the perfect stream in his village with birds flying overhead and his beautiful wife sitting waiting for him painted on the back of his truck perfectly showcases this lonesome profession. In this perpetual nomadic lifestyle, his truck functions as his home away from home, his means of livelihood as well as his companion.

Today’s truckers are considered the transitory successors of Neolithic merchants who once traded along similar routes from the southern shores of Pakistan to inland Central Asia. Their modes of transportation – camel

caravans – were usually heavily decorated. We also see the roots of truck art in the horse-drawn carriages from the days of the Indian Raj, when craftsmen were employed to decorate the vehicles of the aristocracy.

Yet whilst the roots of this tradition date back millennia, today’s truck art is a recent phenomenon whose origins can be traced back to the 1950s, to the Karachi Kemari Port, which became the main route of trade after the partition of Pakistan and India in 1947. Initially, trade between the port and the rest of the country was handled via camels and donkey carts, which were used to load the railways providing goods to the rest of the country. The painters were used to painting camel, donkey, and horse carts, and these were also adorned with intricate accessories and ornaments made out of beads and wool.

In the sixties, Bedford trucks (mockingly called ‘rockets’ due to their slow speed) arrived from England, and animal-powered transport was gradually replaced. For the first time, trucks were

also deployed for long-distance transportation of goods and merchandise, and so to differentiate their trucks and combat illiteracy, each company started painting its logo on its trucks.

Like the animal-cart owners, truck drivers considered their vehicles companions as well as a means of livelihood and, to honour that role, there was a general motivation to ornately adorn their trucks.

At that time, displays of solidarity with the young nation were popular, including the crescent and star of Pakistan’s flag, but gradually more detailed motifs developed. As the transport business boomed in the sixties, the trucks became badges of competition, and the more flamboyant the design, the better the business became. This inspired

a competitive edge, not just between the truck owners but also the painters, who boasted of their newer and more creative designs.

The heady seventies saw an increasing sophistication in truck decoration, as it began to reflect the growing wealth of the drivers and the rise of a new urban class with its new-found confidence, position, and authority. The art has been evolving ever since, getting increasingly more political, personal, and ever more expressive.

Pakistani trucks, over time, have become a smorgasbord of moving culture tableaux. More recently, truck art has gained recognition not just as an art form, but as a viable mode of expression. Amongst the best fashion designers in Pakistan, Maheen Khan and Deepak Perwani

have even taken inspiration from the motifs, colours, and patterns found in truck art to create innovative clothing designs.

In a short space of time, truck art has travelled a long way. It visually represents everyday experiences that embed themselves in the minds of those who serve the industry, embracing their ongoing battle with loneliness on the road, with only their trusty trucks for company.

Listed as one of the world’s top-25 exporting nations, Malaysia’s capabilities are recognised in many high-value sectors namely in electrical & electronics, engineering, chemicals, oil & gas, aerospace, construction and healthcare, just to name a few. Promotions of these sectors are done by Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE)

with particular emphasis on the export of manufactured and semi-manufactured products and services.

To brace the future economic landscape, the country is looking to diversify and expand its high-value sectors and one of it is through soft exports. Being a culturally diversified nation, Malaysia’s soft exports have a lot to offer to the world especially in

fashion design and art. Recently, MATRADE had organised Arts KL-Melbourne exhibition in 2014 and Diversity – Malaysia Art exhibition in London in 2014. In effort to further build Malaysia’s soft exports, Malaysia Fashion Week will take centre stage in November.

TRIBAL TRUCK ARTTruck art has moved beyond trucks to adorn daily utensils and clothing, which can easily be purchased online. One online store that stocks these unique products is Tribal Truck Art: tribaltruckart.com

JAPAN’S DEKOTORA An abbreviation of 'decoration truck', these trucks look like something straight out of a Transformers movie and are possibly the most flamboyant customising trend on the planet.

SCRAPER BIKES Originating in the San Francisco Bay Area, scraper bikes are basically ordinary bicycles but with decorated spokes, candy-coloured pinwheels, and matching bodies, with aluminium foil rounding off the effect.

PHILIPPINES’ JEEPNEYS Hand-built and colourful, with glittering ornaments, Jeepneys are the ultimate form of self-expression and no two are the same.

LOW RIDERS ‘Low and slow’ is the motto of this movement. The paintings on these lowered classic cars reflect designs and motifs from the Latino culture.

CANVAS ON WHEELS For most of us, a car is just a car, but for many cultures worldwide, it is a canvas for expression, a direct extension of their personality. There are dozens of modification cultures out there; some of the most popular include:

But it was only in 2012 that the concept finally reached the Middle East, thanks to Aflamnah, a platform dedicated to supporting creative ventures in the Arab world.

Having managed the film fund Enjaaz at the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) for over two years, Aflamnah’s founder Vida Rizq witnessed the large number of applications and rejections. “I could see that when people applied for funding, they either got rejected and I had to send those letters, which I didn’t enjoy very much, or they were funded but didn’t get everything they needed some of the time.”

Arab films neglectedAlready captivated by the concept of crowdfunding, which was booming in the West, Vida, together with her husband Lotfi Bencheikh, realised it was time to set up a similar platform in the Middle East. “We needed a platform focused on the Arab world; Arab projects from what I could see were not really shining the way they should be on Western platforms.” As soon as Aflamnah went live, it gained a momentum of its own. “It just snowballed,” says Vida.

Unlike global crowdfunding giant Kickstarter, which adopts an ‘all or nothing’ funding model, Aflamnah sends the collected money to the idea

Annemarie Jacir – Director

Aflamnah’s founder, Vida Rizq

owner regardless of whether their target has been reached. “At the end of the day, if they can’t keep the money they managed to raise, it would be a barrier,” explains Vida.

Surpassing targetsBy mid-2014, just two years after launching, Aflamnah had raised over US$300,000 and hosted 70 projects, many of which exceeded their targets. For example, Annemarie Jacir’s feature film When I Saw You had a goal of US$5,000 but raised US$10,100. The film not only raised double its target, but also received more than 10 international film awards.

Similarly, Searching for Saris achieved its goal of US$11,000 in 11 days, before stretching the amount to US$19,100, and again reaching it. “The film addressed an emotive topic,” remarks Vida. “Even after the campaign finished, people still wanted to contribute. It galvanised the Palestinian community and spread through social media quickly.”

More recently, Bilbaal, an online platform that connects pro-bono resources and volunteers with Palestinian philanthropic initiatives – and the first website to crowdfund on Aflamnah – succeeded in raising US$31,200.

However, the project struggled with the reward structure, according to Vida. “The only reward they could offer was a ‘thank you’ on their site. You could pay US$10 for that or US$1,000, so the rewards were all the same. That was an interesting way of acknowledging that they didn’t have that much to offer; you had to decide how much you thought the initiative was worth to you.”

Giving backRewards play a crucial role in the success of a crowdfunding campaign. Along with the ability to spread the word, project owners need to come up with creative ways to show their appreciation. So far, filmmakers on Aflamnah have offered executive producer credits, tickets to the premieres, DVDs, and posters.

Others have been more creative, promising rewards like an A1 original pencil drawing of the main character, a chance to play a minor role in the film, and an invitation to visit an Emirati family’s farm.

Vida recalls Emirati filmmaker Nawaf Al Janahi’s campaign, through which he raised US$8,570 to bring an Emirati Cinema roadshow to all seven

emirates. Among the rewards he offered was the chance to buy one of the branded bicycles used during the tour. Two were sold, at US$1,000 each.

The main challenge facing Aflamnah now is a cultural one. “People in this region don’t feel comfortable giving a small amount of US$10, and that’s a barrier we’re trying to break down, because the idea is that a lot of people give small amounts, rather than a few giving lots of money.”

There also tends to be a feeling of embarrassment around asking for help, as Vida points out. “We generally love to help in our culture, but it’s difficult for someone to offer to help unless you ask.”

Crowdfunding, she says, takes away that feeling from both sides, because it legitimatises the entire process. “It can make it fun, emotional, quirky, or whatever your project lends itself to.”

• If you have any unpaid fines in Qatar, then you will not be allowed to leave the country. Please make sure any unpaid fines are settled before you travel. You can also pay your fines at the Ministry of Interior office at Hamad International Airport.

| Security checkYour hand baggage will be security screened for prohibited items before you can proceed to the baggage claim area. Such items will be confiscated, and you will not be able to retrieve them at any time.

| ARRIVALS

Unless in transit, all visitors to Qatar require a visa. Passengers from certain

countries are eligible for visas on arrival. For your own convenience and comfort, please confirm any requirements before starting your journey.

| Visa on arrival• Certain passports are eligible for a

The 67,000 Palestinian refugee students enrolled in UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) schools before the crisis have not been spared. UNRWA was established in 1949 to carry out direct relief programmes for Palestinian refugees displaced following the 1948 Arab–Israeli conflict.

UNRWA estimates that over 80,000 Palestinian refugees have fled Syria for Lebanon, Jordan, and Gaza. Increasingly, the children affected by the Syrian crisis have been dropping out of school due to impoverishment and displacement.

Batoul and her surviving family members have moved seven times. Today, they live in Lebanon, to where they fled two years ago. “My father and older brother both died. I lost them, my friends, and the beautiful memories of my primary school in Sbeineh camp,” says Batoul.

Catching up on missed schooling can be daunting for students. “Moving from one shelter to another kept me from fitting in,” explains Batoul. To address the needs of conflict-affected children, UNRWA and Educate A Child entered a partnership to support over 50,000 refugee children; enrolling them into quality primary education programmes. With EAC’s contribution of US$4.9 million, the agency worked to reach out of school students like Batoul, and help them return to school.

Since 2013, UNRWA has established a total of 15 safe learning spaces to enable children to return to school in Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan, hiring and training

In its fifth year, the Syrian conflict has devastated the lives and livelihoods of millions of Syrians. Equally shattered are the lives of the 560,000 Palestinian refugees who called Syria home.

Educate A ChildBridging the education gaps for Palestinian refugee children of Syria

77 counsellors to provide psychosocial support and carry out recreational activities. The programme developed self-learning materials for out of school students and continues to provide support lessons both online and through UNRWA TV. EAC funding has also been used to purchase educational equipment to facilitate each of these interventions.

EAC’s support in Lebanon has succeeded in returning 9,000 students into 60 UNRWA schools scattered across Lebanon. Batoul is one of these students. “I have caught up and I am now first in my class. I am part of the student body, a class leader, and I participate in all the recreational activities,” she says

Thanks to EAC funding and its partnership with UNRWA, students like Batoul can thrive once more. The principal at Batoul’s school, Nisreen Ayoub, says: “The refugee students from Syria are adjusting; they are calmer, happier, and are well integrated.”

This is not only a source of pride for her teacher but also for Batoul’s mother:

“Despite all the hardships we have been through, she remains diligent and we have big hopes for her. If Batoul is well educated, she will take care of herself, see the world, and expand her horizons. I believe the only way to make her dreams come true is through education.”

Passengers on board Qatar Airways flights will find EAC donation envelopes in every seat back.

New services launched to Amsterdam and ZanzibarQatar Airways has launched its first two new destinations of the year, touching down at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport on June 16 and in Zanzibar, its third destination in Tanzania, on July 1.

Representing the airline’s first destination in the Netherlands, Amsterdam became Qatar Airways’ 34th European destination, and will be served with six flights a week, each served with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Currently providing five flights a week to Zanzibar via Kilimanjaro, effective October 1, Qatar Airways will begin providing a daily service. This will

Qatar Airways Chief Commercial Officer Marwan Koleilat observed that serving the Netherlands is “the realisation of a long-held ambition for Qatar Airways”, and also touted the burgeoning demand to visit Zanzibar.

“Zanzibar’s attraction as a tourist

destination has been steadily growing as more travellers discover its wonderful combination of cultures, and Qatar Airways is delighted to be able to give more people the opportunity to visit this beautiful island with all it has to offer,” he said.

Besides Zanzibar and Kilimanjaro, Qatar Airways also flies twice daily to Tanzania’s largest city, Dar es Salaam.

Added services announcedQatar Airways has recently or will soon implement added services to popular routes in its network.

This initiative began in June, with service to Jeddah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia gaining a third daily flight.

July not only saw the beginning of service to Zanzibar, but also an added daily flight to Dubai, the airline’s most popular route.

Service to the popular Far East destination of Kuala Lumpur was increased for the summer travel season, through to August 29, with three added flights per week bringing service to 24 flights. The Sofia–Belgrade

linked route moved from five flights a week to a daily service as well.

Expansion in Africa now includes one additional weekly flight to both Asmara and Djibouti. In addition, the Egyptian city of Luxor will add one more weekly flight, effective November 1, through to March 20.

In Iraq, Najaf saw an increase in weekly flights from eight to 10, which will be further increased to twice daily, effective September 18. In addition, Qatar Airways will operate three more

flights a week to popular tourist destination Salalah, Oman, beginning October 6.

Qatar Airways will also be strengthening its commitment to Pakistan, with Peshawar moving from three flights a week to daily flights, beginning October 1. Meanwhile, the airline will also add six extra flights a week between Doha and Manila, beginning October 26.

Airline continues to support the Primo Center for Women and Children, helping Chicago families secure permanent housing.

Qatar Airways understands that a home is not just a bed or a roof. A home is stability, security, and the foundation upon which we can build our future.

As part of its community efforts in Chicago, USA, Qatar Airways is proud to partner with the Primo Center for Women and Children, one of the city’s leading and most effective centres for transitional housing and support for homeless families.

Founded by the Right Reverend Quintin E. Primo, Jr. in 1978, the Primo Center serves an impoverished population in the West Side of Chicago – an area all too familiar with homelessness, poverty, and strife.

The Primo Center offers families unique shared apartment-style units, with childcare and counselling services, while its Family Leadership Institute provides crucial family leadership skills. The centre is also one of the first certified Medicaid mental health services providers in Chicago, and now serves an even greater portion of the local community.

Chairman of the board of the Primo Center Quintin E. Primo III stated, “If business leadership skills can be taught to aspiring students at the Harvard Business School, family and community leadership skills can be taught to the poor. We use such techniques as vision boards to help our residents realise their dreams in terms of employment, parenting, and independence.”

Qatar Airways will again sponsor the annual Primo Classico in October, an impactful fundraiser that supports the centre’s daily operations and programmes. Thanks to the dedicated support of sponsors like Qatar Airways,

the Primo Center recently acquired another transitional shelter and has grown over 900% in the past five years.

Last year, 95% of the families were stabilised in their own homes, compared to an industry standard of 55%–65%. 100% of the families leave the programme with employment, and more than half of the mothers and children have reduced traumatic stress in their lives.

“It’s really important that if we’re going to break the cycle of homelessness, we need to nurture our families more and give more priority to family homelessness,” said Christine Achre, CEO of the organisation.

Qatar Airways is proud to be a dedicated sponsor of the Primo Classico and support the Primo Center’s ongoing fight to ensure every Chicago family can find a place to call home.

Qatar Airways

Al Darb Interns Take Flight

In line with the Qatar National Vision 2030, Qatar Airways and the Al Darb Qatarisation programme are committed to supporting young Qatari talent by providing learning and development opportunities that inspire the brightest and hardest-working new professionals to reach their greatest potential.

Aisha Al Muzafer, for example, is studying to be a graphic designer. As such, she was placed with the Creative Services team in the marketing department, which handles the design of creative ads and promotions.

“During my first internship, I was lucky to work with the product development department that introduced me to great projects such as work on the children’s travel kit, cutlery, the Qatar Executive scarf, and toiletry bottles,” she says. “Now, during my second internship, I’ve been involved in designing the Eid ad, and the Garangao event sponsored by the Nationalisation department. My work for the event included designing the theme and the characters for the event.”

A key component of the programme is the assignment of a personal coach to each intern. For Ahmad Al-Hajiri, the presence of coach Abdullah Al-Hanout during his time in Qatar Airways’ customer care department greatly improved his experience.

“He brings a high level of enthusiasm and optimism every time he explains the task or information,” Al-Hajiri explains. “This had a positive impact on my performance, because, in my opinion, being professional, empathetic, and also enthusiastic is what a coach needs to be.”

Al Darb is an active rather than a passive programme, and the interns become greatly involved in the airline’s workings once they are accepted. Al Darb challenges its interns, which they appreciate as it best prepares them for the future.

“I was assigned something that I only studied very recently at my

university, so it was rather interesting to see how well I could turn theory into action,” says Fatima Hassan S S Al-Mousawi, who is involved in market research for the airline’s marketing department. “I feel like I’m already gaining some experience of personal growth in terms of going out and into the office and actually living through what it’s like to be in such an industry.”

Highlighting the different paths that individuals can take, the Qatar Airways Summer Internship Programme provides students with real-life projects that add to their work experience and prepare them for a successful career with the airline.

ضغط مقصورة الركابينخفض الضغط الجوي في مقصورات

ركاب الطائرات بالتزامن مع المزيد من التحليق عاليا، ما قد يؤدي إلى انخفاض منسوب األوكسجين في

الدم. ورغم أن مقصورة ركاب الطائرة معدلة الضغط بحيث تقلص انخفاض

الضغط داخلها إلى الحد األدنى الممكن، إال أن تغير الضغط المفاجىء

For more tips on a healthy, relaxing, and comfortable flight, visit qatarairways.com

self-massageAyurveda recommends a daily self-massage (known as an ‘Abhyanga’ or ‘self-abhy’) to strengthen your immune system and slow the ageing process. Here is an abbreviated self-abhy to do once your flight is underway:

1 Using small circular motions, massage your forehead from side to side using the palms of your hands. Gently massage your temples using circular motions, then lightly rub your ears. Using an open hand to create friction, spend a few minutes

massaging both the front and back of your neck.

2 Vigorously massage your arms, using a circular motion at the shoulders and elbows, and back-and-forth motions on the upper arms and forearms.

3 Finish with a relaxing hand massage, gently kneading the palms and rubbing and pulling each finger. Shake your hands to release stress from the wrists, arms, and joints.

Qatar Airways and The Chopra Center for Wellbeing offer you customised Ayurvedic techniques that you can use during your flight (and at home) to feel more balanced, healthy, and relaxed. Download Chopra‘s travelling tips at qatarairways.com.

MOTION SICKNESS Continue looking straight ahead by keeping your eyes focused on a non-moving object to reduce motion sickness.

CABIN PRESSURE Cabin air pressure falls as the aircraft gains height, which can cause the amount of oxygen in your blood to drop. The aircraft cabin is pressurised to keep this to a minimum but the change of pressure during take-off and landing can give a feeling of blockage of the ears. Chewing, swallowing, or yawning can relieve these symptoms.

HEART DISEASE Do not fly within seven days of a heart attack unless cleared by your doctor. It is normally best to delay your flight for about a month in case there are complications.

DIABETES If you are going to cross several time zones, please consult your doctor about managing your insulin dosage.

PREGNANCY You can travel by air: up to 28 weeks into a normal pregnancy; in later stages of pregnancy, with a medical certificate, up to 35 weeks for a single child and 32 weeks for twins.

His early appearance in the Oscar-winning war classic Saving Private Ryan was a minor role, but the man born Mark Sinclair made his presence felt: big and strong with an ethnic appearance nobody could quite place, the actor who would build a career as Vin Diesel commanded the screen, and has since gone on to command the box office.

“Honestly, I don’t approach an action film any differently than I would something like Saving Private Ryan,” he said in an interview. “If I’m ever going to be the next action hero, don’t think for a moment I’m going to disregard the acting and think that the action can take over the acting. The acting is what I need to do.”

The Fast and the Furious series is quintessential Diesel: the ultimate anti-hero.

“I find myself being drawn to anti-heroes, and now what I’m finding is that I’m being drawn to different variations of anti-heroes,” he says. “We don’t learn anything from the whitewashed heroes. We learn from the imperfect.

“All the events of the previous Fast movies, they’re tied into the new one,” he says. “My character has all of the same insight and conflict from the beginning. He doesn’t change, and that’s fascinating to me.”

Judging by the US$1.5 billion box office gross for Furious 7, it’s fascinating to moviegoers as well.

Long-touted as the next action hero, Diesel says the praise was flattering, but the Furious 7 star never let it change his goals.

Manhattan

For five years during the 1940s in the midst of the Second World War, the Manhattan Project set out to construct the first nuclear bomb. Clandestine in nature, the project forced brilliant scientists and their families into a world where secrets and lies infiltrated every aspect of their lives.

The Manhattan series delves into the life of fictional scientist Frank Winter, recruited for the project but provided with no details about it until his arrival at ‘The Hill’, a middle-class bubble on a dusty foothill in the New Mexico desert. The inherent family stress, and a project where the stakes couldn’t be higher, make for riveting viewing.

الناقلة القطرية تواصل دعم مركز بريمو للنساء واألطفال،

لمساعدة عائالت شيكاغو في تأمين سكن دائم.

تدرك الخطوط الجوية القطرية أن المنزل ليس مجرد سرير وسقف. بل يرمز لالستقرار واألمان

واألساس الذي يتيح لنا بناء مستقبلنا. وفي إطار جهودها لدعم المجتمع في مدينة

شيكاغو األمريكية، تفخر الخطوط الجوية القطرية بمشاركة مركز “بريمو سنتر” لألعمال الخيرية

الذي يعتبر من أبرز وأكثر مراكز المدينة فعالية في توفير سكن مؤقت للعائالت المتشردة

المحرومة من السكن.وتأسس مركز “بريمو سنتر” على يد القس

“كوينتن إي. بريمو جونيور” عام 1978، ويقدم خدماته الخيرية للسكان الفقراء في الحي الغربي

لشيكاغو، وهي منطقة معروفة بالفقر والمتشردين والمعوزين.

ويوفر المركز للعائالت وحدات سكنية فريدة من نوعها من الشقق المشتركة، معززة بخدمات لرعاية األطفال وتقديم المشورة، بينما يوفر

معهده “فاميلي ليدرشيب انستيتيوت” خدمات مهارات القيادة العائلية. كما يعتبر المركز من

أوائل المراكز المرخصة لمساعدة المصابين بأمراض عقلية في شيكاغو، ويقدم خدماته حاليا

إلى شريحة أكبر من المجتمع المحلي.وفي سياق شرح الخدمات التي يقدمه المركز،

قال كوينتن إي. بريمو الثالث، رئيس مجلس إدارة مركز بريمو: “إذا كان باإلمكان تعليم طالب كلية األعمال في جامعة هارفرد مهارات القيادة،

من الممكن تعليم تلك المهارات للفقراء أيضا. ونحن نستخدم في هذا السياق تقنيات أمثال

األلواح المرئية لمساعدة سكان منازلنا المؤقتة في تحقيق أحالمهم في مجاالت فرص العمل

ورعاية األطفال واالعتماد على الذات”.من جانب آخر، سترعى الخطوط الجوية القطرية مجددا حملة “بريمو كالسيكو” لجمع التبرعات في أكتوبر المقبل، وهي حملة سنوية لمساندة برامج وعمليات المركز اليومية. ويعود الفضل

والشكر في تحقيق أهداف وتطلعات المركز إلى الجهات الراعية مثل الخطوط الجوية القطرية،

حيث استطاع مؤخرا تقديم ملجأ مؤقت آخرا للفقراء والمعوزين، كما حقق نموا بنسبة أكثر

من 900% خالل السنوات الخمس الماضية.

ونجح المركز خالل العام الماضي بتوفير االستقرار في منازل دائمة لنحو 95% من العائالت الفقيرة

والمتشردة التي يتولى رعايتها مقارنة مع نسبة تتراوح بين 55% و65% تحققها المراكز األخرى.

وتخرج 100% من العائالت من البرنامج وقد حصلت على فرص عمل، بينما انخفضت نسبة

عادة ما يوصف سكان إدنبرة بأنهم محافظون ومحترمون، وهي صفات متوقعة لسكان مقر

الحكم والعلم والقانون في اسكتلندا. إال أن هناك وجها آخر إلدنبرة ال يكشف عن نفسه سوى في

شهر أغسطس من كل عام، وهو وجه إدنبرة الحافل بالمفاجآت والفعاليات الترفيهية الممتعة

التي تقام خالل مهرجانها السنوي الشهير في أروع وأجمل المعالم التي يمكن العثور عليها في

أي مكان في أوروبا.

إنه وجه المدينة التي تتدفق من أعمق أقبيتها وأكبر مسارحها وزوايا شوارعها شتى صنوف

الفنون والموسيقى والرقص والمسرحيات والعروض الكوميدية واالستعراضات الفنية.

ك “مهرجان إدنبرة” بقوة بسمعته ويتمسبصفته أكبر مهرجانات العالم الفنية. حيث تقام

معظم فعالياته في أماكن يسهل الوصول إليها منتشرة ضمن مسافة ال تتعدى خمسة كيلومترات

من قلعة إدنبرة األيقونية في قلب المدينة.

مهرجان واحد ... مهرجانات عدةال يعتبر مهرجان إدنبرة مهرجانا واحدا، بل يضم في الواقع مجموعة من المهرجانات والفعاليات

المتداخلة والمستقلة، والتي يقام معظمها خالل ثالثة أسابيع في شهر أغسطس كل عام.

وكانت الدورة التدشينية لمهرجان إدنبرة الدولي قد أقيمت في أغسطس من عام 1947

بهدف تشجيع إعادة إحياء التراث الثقافي بين األمم والشعوب في أعقاب ويالت الحرب

العالمية الثانية.

وتزامن المهرجان مع ظاهرة مثيرة لالهتمام تمثلت في امتعاض العديد من الفعاليات الفنية

من اقتصاره على استضافة الفعاليات الفنية الراقية من مسرح وموسيقى كالسيكية ورقص باليه وتجاهل الفنون األخرى. وبذلك سارعت

نقابة الصناعة السينمائية في المدينة إلى تنظيم مهرجانها الخاص “مهرجان إدنبرة السينمائي

الدولي” على هامش “مهرجان إدنبرة الدولي”.

ولم تنفرد تلك النقابة بهذا التحرك، حيث عكفت ثماني فرق مسرحية من جميع أنحاء

بريطانيا للمشاركة في الدورة التدشينية للمهرجان في أغسطس 1947، لترسي بذلك حجر أساس

مهرجان إدنبرة للفنون “إدنبرة فستيفال فرينج”.

من ناحيته، واظب “مهرجان إدنبرة للوشم العسكري” الذي يقام في ساحة قلعة إدنبرة

التاريخية على تقديم عروضه بانتظام في شهر أغسطس سنويا منذ عام 1950، ولم يسبق أن

ألغيت فعالياته على اإلطالق بالرغم من طقس اسكتلندا العاصف من حين آلخر.

وفي عام 1978 تم تدشين مهرجان جديد يركز على موسيقى الجاز والبلوز، تاله في عام 1983

انطالق “مهرجان الكتاب الدولي”، وأخيرا شهد عام 1995 تدشين مهرجان “إدنبرة ميال” السنوي

الذي يضم فعاليات واحتفاالت متعددة الثقافات.

إدنبرة في أغسطستعج إدنبرة بالحركة والنشاط في أغسطس ما

يدفعني إلسداء النصح للزوار الذين ال يفضلون األماكن المزدحمة، بعدم زيارة المدينة في شهر

أغسطس حيث تكون شديدة االزدحام.

إال أن ما تتميز به إدنبرة في شهر أغسطس يتمثل في كونها موطن ذكريات ترسخ في أذهانكم لسنين طويلة قادمة، وتتيح لكم

االندماج مع أولئك الذين سبق أن زاروا المدينة في أغسطس.

“هوليرود بارك” توفر حديقة “هوليرود بارك” )المعروفة

أيضا باسم “كنجز بارك” أو “كوين بارك” تبعا لجنس العاهل البريطاني في حينه(

مساحتها 263 هكتارا من المناظر الطبيعية الجميلة، وال تبعد سوى مسافة 1.6 كلم عن

قلعة إدنبرة. ويستطيع الزوار الوصول إلى هذه الحديقة التي يطلق عليها أيضا اسم

“رويال بارك” عبر طرق عدة ويمكن االلتفاف حولها عبر طريق بري.

أيا كان توقيت زيارتكم للعاصمة االسكتلندية إدنبرة، فإن مناظر هذه المدينة الطبيعية الساحرة ومعالمها التاريخية المبهرة ستخلب ألبابكم بكل تأكيد. ومن اإلنصاف القول إن عاصمة اسكتلندا تزداد تألقا في شهر أغسطس من كل عام، حين تكتظ شوارعها ومسارحها ومعالمها التاريخية

ومواقعها الطبيعية البديعة بآالف الفنانين الذين يشاركون في مهرجانها السنوي.

لم يصل هذا المفهوم التمويلي إلى الشرق األوسط سوى في عام 2012، بفضل المنبر اإللكتروني العربي

للتمويل الجماعي “أفالمنا” المتخصص في دعم المبادرات اإلبداعية في العالم العربي.

وبعد إدارتها الناجحة لبرنامج “إنجاز” في مهرجان دبي السينمائي الدولي ألكثر من عامين، شاهدت “فيدا رزق”، مؤسسة المنبر اإللكتروني

“أفالمنا” عددا كبيرا من طلبات التمويل والرفض.

وتعود “فيدا” بذاكرتها إلى تلك الفترة من حياتها المهنية، وتقول: “لم أكن مسرورة

بمشاهدة طلبات التمويل التي كانت إما يتم رفضها أو كانت تحصل أحيانا على تمويل ال يكفي لتنفيذ المشروع المطلوب، وكنت أضطر لتوجيه

رسائل الرفض ألصحابها”.

المشاريع السينمائية العربية مهملةوسرعان ما أدركت “فيدا” التي استحوذت عليها

فكرة التمويل الجماهيري التي ازدهرت في الغرب، وقررت مع زوجها “لطفي بن شيخ” أن

الوقت قد حان إلطالق منصة إلكترونية مماثلة في الشرق األوسط.

وقالت فيدا: “نحن بحاجة إلى منصة عمل تركز على العالم العربي، حيث الحظت أن المبادرات السينمائية العربية لم تكن تحصل على نصيبها

العادل من النجاح والشهرة اللذان حصلت عليهما السينما الغربية. لكن بمجرد انطالق منصة “أفالمنا”

اإللكترونية، اكتسبت تلك المبادرات زخما ذاتيا وكبرت نجاحاتها كما تكبر كرة الثلج”.

وعلى خالف عمالقة التمويل الجماهيري العالمية منصة “ككستارتر” اإللكترونية التي تبنت نموذج “كل شيء أو ال شيء” للتمويل

الجماهيري، كانت منصة “أفالمنا” تدفع األموال التي تجمعها إلى مالك الفكرة بغض النظر عن

مدى تحقيقه للهدف المطلوب. وأوضحت “فيدا” بقولها: “في المحصلة النهائية، إذا لم

يتمكنوا من االحتفاظ بالمال الذي جمعوه فسوف يشكل ذلك عائقا لتطلعاتهم”.

تجاوز األهدافجمعت منصة “أفالمنا” اإللكترونية أواسط عام 2014 أي بعد عامين فقط من انطالقها، أكثر من

300.000 دوالر أمريكي ودعمت 70 مشروعا تجاوز العديد منها أهدافه. وكان فيلم “حين رأيتك”

الروائي للمخرجة “آنماري جاسر” على سبيل المثال، يسعى لجمع 5.000 دوالر أمريكي لكنه

جمع 10,100 دوالر. ولم يقتصر نجاح الفيلم على جمعه ضعف المبلغ المستهدف فحسب، بل فاز

بأكثر من 10 جوائز سينمائية دولية أيضا.وعلى غرار ذلك، حقق مشروع فيلم “البحث

عن ساريس” هدفه الرامي بجمع 11.000 دوالر أمريكي خالل 11 يوما فقط، قبل أن يرفع المبلغ

الذي يريد جمعه إلى 19.100 دوالر، ونجح بجمعه بالفعل. وقالت “فيدا”: “عالج الفيلم موضوعا

مثيرا للمشاعر، إلى درجة أن الناس كانوا ال يزالون يودون المساهمة في تمويله حتى بعد انتهاء

مهلة االكتتاب، ألن المشروع استقطب تعاطف الجالية الفلسطينية وانتشر خبره بسرعة عبر

مواقع التواصل االجتماعي”.ونجح موقع “بالبال” اإللكتروني الذي كان سباقا في تمويل منصة “أفالمنا” جماهيريا والذي يجمع

عي بين موارد مؤسسات العمل التطوعي ومتطوالجمعيات الخيرية الفلسطينية، بجمع 31.200

دوالر أمريكي لمشروع ذلك الفيلم. لكن المشروع واجه صعوبات في توفير المال الالزم لمكافأة الممولين. وقالت “فيدا”: “تمثلت المكافأة

الوحيدة التي كان الموقع يستطيع تقديمها للممولين في توجيه رسالة شكر عبر الموقع.

وشملت تلك المكافأة المعنوية الذين ساهموا بتقديم 10 دوالرات أو 10.000 دوالر أمريكي وكانت

جميع المكافآت بالتالي متساوية. وكانت تلك الطريقة ملفتة للنظر إلبالغ جميع الممولين أن

الموقع لم يكن يملك المال الكافي لمكافأتهم، وكان يتوجب على الممولين أن يفكروا بالقيمة المعنوية

التي تمثلها هذ المبادرة في نظر كل منهم”.

رد الجميلتلعب المكافآت دورا حيويا في نجاح حمالت الترويج للتمويل الجماهيري. إذ إنه إضافة إلى

امتالكهم القدرة على تعريف الناس بوجود المشروع، يتوجب على القائمين عليه ابتكار طرق

إبداعية للتعبير عن تقديرهم لمساهمات الممولين. واكتفت منصة “أفالمنا” حتى اآلن بتكريم المنتج

المنفذ لمشاريعها عبر إدراج اسمه في قائمة المشاركين في صنعه، إضافة إلى منح الممولين

تذاكر مجانية لمشاهدة العروض التدشينية للفيلم وأقراص “دي في دي” وملصقات للفيلم.

ولجأت شركات تمويل جماهيري أخرى إلى وسائل أكثر ابتكارا في مكافأة الممولين، أمثال

منحهم رسومات يدوية أصلية بقلم الرصاص مقاس A1 لبطل الفيلم، وفرصة لعب دور صغير في الفيلم،

ودعوة لزيارة مزرعة أحد المواطنين اإلماراتيين.وتسترجع “فيدا” ذكرياتها حول حملة السينما

اإلماراتية التي أطلقها المخرج اإلماراتي “نواف الجناحي” بعنوان “الجولة” والذي جمع من خاللها 8.570 دوالر أمريكي عبر نشر وترويج

السينما اإلماراتية في كل إمارات الدولة السبع. ومن بين المكافآت التي قدمها فرصة لشراء

واحدة من الدراجات الهوائية التي استخدمت خالل “الجولة”. وقد تم بيع دراجتين بمبلغ 1.000

دوالر أمريكي لكل دراجة. ويتمثل التحدي األكبر الذي يواجه “أفالمنا”

اآلن في الواقع ثقافي، حيث تقول “فيدا”: “ال يرتاح سكان المنطقة إلى التبرع بمبلغ صغير مثل

10 دوالرات أمريكية، وهذا يشكل عقبة نحاول تجاوزها، ألن نموذج عملنا يقوم على تبرع الكثير من الناس بمبالغ صغيرة بدال من قيام عدد قليل

منهم بالتبرع بمبالغ كبيرة”.كما يشعر البعض بالحرج بطلب المساعدة،

وتقول “فيدا” في هذا السياق: “نحن نحب المساعدة عموما في ثقافتنا، ولكن من الصعب أن

يقوم الشخص بالمساعدة من دون طلب ذلك”.وتختم “فيدا” قائلة: “يستمد التمويل الجماهيري

ع العملية متعة المساهمة فيه من الطرفين ألنه يشرتها، ويستطيع أن يضفي عليها طابعا مرحا أو برم

عاطفيا أو غريبا أو أيا كان طابع المشروع”.
