DeBakey students visit Qatar Cool

The Environment Club of DeBakey High School participated in a field trip to Qatar Cool. Students attended a presentation on sustainability and toured the

plant. The trip allowed for hands-on activities and further enlightenment about future projects students can include at school.

PEC students crowned champions in Qatar Preparatory Schools Debate League

The future leaders of Pakistan Ed-

ucation Centre (PEC) added an-

other twinkling gem to the insti-

tute’s crown by notching overall first

position in the Grand Final Debate of

the Girls Qatar Preparatory Schools

Debate League (QPSDL) Competition

held at HBKU Student Center.

Afshan Shahid, Vice Principal Girls’

Wing, adjudicators Riffat Tahir, Naheed

Nadeem, Razia Sardar, Mubarika Nau-

man also attended the contest and re-

ceived the champions trophy along

with the finalist. Qatar Debate is the

platform worth mentioning where PEC

students have proved their mettle by

winning team positions as well as rank-

ing at top speakers throughout the

competitions in the last few years ar-

ranged by Qatar Debate. Likewise, for

the term 2015-2016, three teams of

Girls’ Wing represented PEC in 1st and

2nd Girls QPSDL tournaments. Team 1

of PEC remained invincible throughout

the tournaments and won top team

positions. PEC debating team sus-

tained first-rate performance in 2nd

QPSDL tournaments and qualified for

Grand Final Debate. After a nail-biting

competition with DPS MIS, the team

PEC emerged as the overall champions.

The young proud champs; Sumai-

ya Rizwan, Sayeda Aliza, and Maria

Taj made the dream come true after a

tough series of coaching, training and

rehearsals with their mentors, Naheed

Akhtar, Razia Sardar and under the con-

stant watchful eyes of their dynam-

ic Principal Nargis Raza Otho and their

wing head Afshan Shahid. It is pertinent

to mention that the team PEC got 1st

preparatory league position in 1st and

2nd Girls QPSDL tournaments and won

Grand final Debate also. The team PEC

also seized 3 individual positions among

the top 10 debaters, the promising stu-

dent of PEC, Sayeda Aliza, ranked the

2nd Best speaker in the QPSDL 1st and

2nd tournaments for the fall 2015-16

among all speakers of both the leagues.

In front of a gym’s empty bleachers, a group of veiled women

in wheelchairs exchange passes, practising to form a female

Paralympic basketball team in the Gaza Strip.

Wessal Abu Alyan, a 40-year-old mother of four, said play-

ing helped her “feel free and strong”.

“I try to ignore the negative looks from people toward the disa-

bled, but I know there’s still a long way to go before we are com-

pletely integrated in society,” she said.

As the women practised, they were given advice and en-

couragement from Jess Markt, an American who began playing

wheelchair basketball after a spinal cord injury when he was 19.

Markt has coached players in Afghanistan, India and Cambo-

dia.

In Gaza at the invitation of the International Committee of the

Red Cross (ICRC), he is overseeing 115 players, both men and

women, over the course of three weeks.

“They’ve made real progress,” said Markt, who had also worked

with the players last year.

The programme has particular relevance in the Gaza Strip,

which has seen three wars since 2008.

Wheelchair basketball takes wings among women in Gaza

More than 75,000 Gazans out of a population of 1.9 million are physically or visually disabled, according to the ICRC. Of those, a third were wounded by war.

Paralympic teams are being slowly created, and the

ICRC has provided 70 wheelchairs to eight teams this

year.

Suhair Zakkout, ICRC spokeswoman in Gaza, said the

players could help “show that Gaza is not only war and

violence”.

They can “become ambassadors in international com-

petitions.”

Money shortages, however, have hampered their ef-

forts, while cultural expectations of women have also

been an obstacle.

“There is the social pressure that sometimes says

women shouldn’t play sports,” Markt said.

“I think there is a lot of pressure here, and it’s difficult,

but I think these women just like those in other countries

can overcome that pressure and set an example for other

girls to come and start to play.”

One new team, Al-Farissat, has had to fight to find a

place to play.

“Society is doing a better job of integrating the dis-

abled, especially because nearly every household is

touched by a disabled person,” said Fadi Dib, a 32-year-

old coach for the Red Crescent Paralympic team in Khan

Yunis, in southern Gaza.

But Dib said “political decisions and laws to advocate

their rights” were lacking.

Huda Abu Odeh, 36, remains a firm believer in the

power of sport.

“We will realise our dream of entering international

competitions,” she said. “And we will win.”

The Washington Post

Warm Parmesan Pound Cake With Whipped Mascarpone, Rasp-berries and Basil Sugar

Cheese does wonderful things

to the flavor and texture of

this buttery, not-too-sweet

cake; be sure to serve it warm,

with the toppings put on at the last

minute.

The original recipe called for saba,

a wonderfully acidic syrup made from

grape must; a good aged balsamic

vinegar works just as well here.

Make Ahead: The basil sugar can be

stored in an airtight container for up

to 3 days. The whipped mascarpone

can be assembled, covered and re-

frigerated up to overnight; whisk to re-

combine before serving. The cake can

be baked a day in advance, wrapped

in plastic wrap and stored at room

temperature; for best flavour, warm

cut slices briefly and gently in a mi-

crowave oven on LOW before serving.

12 to 15 servings

Ingredients

For the basil sugar1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup lightly packed fresh bas-

il leaves

For the whipped mascarpone

2 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese

3/4 cup sour cream

3 tablespoons confectioners’

sugar

For the cake2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

5 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano

cheese, finely grated, preferably with

a Microplane grater

16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted

butter, at room temperature

2 cups granulated sugar

6 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup mascarpone cheese

1 cup sour cream

2 pints (24 ounces) fresh

raspberries

1/4 cup good-quality aged bal-

samic vinegar.

Steps

For the basil sugar: Combine half

of the sugar and half of the basil in

a spice grinder or mini food proces-

sor; pulse until the basil leaves are

chopped finely and the sugar has tak-

en on the color and scent of the herb.

Repeat with the remaining sugar and

basil. Store in an airtight container for

up to 3 days.

For the whipped mascarpone:

Whisk together the mascarpone, sour

cream and confectioners’ sugar until

well combined. Cover and keep chilled

until ready to serve.

For the cake: Preheat the oven to

350 degrees. Butter the bottom and

sides of a 9-by-13-inch cake pan and

line the bottom with parchment pa-

per. Lightly flour the sides of the pan,

tapping out any excess flour.

Sift the flour, baking powder and

salt into a large bowl. Whisk in the

grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Combine the butter and granulat-

ed sugar in the bowl of a stand mix-

er fitted with the paddle attachment;

beat briefly on low speed, then on

high speed for about 5 minutes, stop-

ping to scrape down the bowl with

a rubber spatula as needed. Reduce

the speed to medium and slowly driz-

zle in the beaten eggs. Add the mas-

carpone and continue to beat until

incorporated. Reduce the speed to

low and alternate adding one-third

of the flour mixture and one-third of

the sour cream until both are nearly

incorporated. Stop the machine and

use a rubber spatula to finish com-

bining the ingredients to avoid over-

mixing. Transfer the batter to the pre-

pared cake pan, spreading it even-

ly and smoothing the surface. Bake

(middle rack) until a toothpick insert-

ed into the centre of the cake comes

out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer

the pan to a wire rack to cool for a few

minutes.

Serve warm, topped with whipped

mascarpone and fresh berries. Sprin-

kle some of the basil sugar over eve-

rything, then drizzle the berries and/

or the plate with the balsamic vinegar.

When soaking up the sun brings itchy skin

The Washington Post

As the temperature rises, so

does our chance to spend

time outdoors in short

sleeves. But after being out

for just a short while on a fine day,

have you ever had rashes break out

on the parts of your skin that were ex-

posed, and been bothered by itchi-

ness?

When such symptoms show, it may

be a disease known as photosensitiv-

ity in which the skin is acutely sensitive

to light. Sunlight is only going to get

stronger in the coming weeks, so vigi-

lance is a must.

How does it happen?Overexposure to the sun causes

sunburn, which occasionally turns to

severe, blistering inflammation. This

is a common skin reaction even for

healthy people, and not indicative of

disease. For many people with pho-

tosensitivity, or photosensitive diseas-

es, symptoms are an allergic reaction

to sunlight. However, for some people,

symptoms result from gene defects

from birth, and in exceptionally rare

cases these patients also develop skin

cancer. The cause for photosensitivi-

ty is believed to be skin cells that, up-

on absorbing sunlight, produce a sub-

stance that overstimulates an immune

response. However, this substance has

yet to be discovered.

Some people who use sunscreen,

cold compresses and drugs to lower

blood pressure can also experience

outbreaks. This is thought to be be-

cause such medicines include chem-

icals that, when exposed to UV rays,

may prompt skin cells to create the

substance that cause skin inflamma-

tion.

What are the symptoms?Photosensitivity is categorised into

five diseases, depending on the symp-

toms.

One is called solar urticaria. Hives

accompanied by itchiness appear

within 10 minutes of being exposed to

the sun. These symptoms naturally go

away in three to six hours.

Polymorphic light eruption, or PLE,

causes red, spotty and uneven rash-

es that become itchy. The symptoms

appear anywhere from a few hours

after exposure to the next day, lin-

gering chronically for several days to

more than two weeks. Chronic actin-

ic dermatitis has symptoms very sim-

ilar to those of PLE, but the itchiness

is worse. Unable to stop scratching,

patients sometimes end up scarring

their skin. Diseases caused by medi-

cine are photocontact dermatitis, in

which rashes appear on areas where

a cold compress or sunscreen was ap-

plied, and drug-induced photosen-

sitivity, in which rashes appear when

patients are exposed to sunlight after

taking medicine.

What is the treatment?When medicine is the cause, the

symptoms go away if patients stop

taking the medicine. In other cases, in

order to relieve itchiness and irritation,

patients can take anti-allergy medica-

tion or apply steroids to the affected

areas.

Prof. Akira Kawada, a dermatology

expert at Kinki University’s Faculty of

Medicine, said, “Skin will return to its

normal state if patients use medicines

for one to two weeks without being

exposed to sunlight.”

However, there is no fundamental

cure for allergic reactions.

“Symptoms that have cleared up

will return if patients are exposed to

sunlight again,” Kawada added.

Leaving the symptoms untreated

will further damage the skin, and the

itchiness can have a negative effect

on the patient’s emotions. Thus early

treatment is important.

The most effective preventive

measure is to avoid sunlight expo-

sure. Patients should try not to go out

during the daytime, when UV rays are

strongest. When they do go out, it is

best for them to wear long sleeves

and long pants to avoid exposure. Us-

ing parasols and hats also helps.

Clothing made of thin, white ma-

terial can be penetrated by sunlight

and therefore provides little protective

benefit.

Even those who have never expe-

rienced photosensitivity before should

be wary as symptoms can suddenly

appear in middle age or later.

“I believe there are many people

who actually suffer from photosen-

sitive diseases but are wrongly di-

agnosed as having sunburn or other

problems,” Kawada said.

“People need to be especially cau-

tious from April to September when

UV rays become stronger. I suggest

that people who think they have

symptoms similar to those of photo-

sensitive diseases consult with a der-

matologist,” he added.

Overexposure to the sun causes sunburn, which occasionally turns to severe, blistering inflammation. This is a common skin reaction even for healthy people, and not indicative of disease.

| 11MONDAY 30 MAY 2016

By Michael O’Sullivan The Washington Post

X -Men: Apocalypse” is a veritable pinata

of mutants, a picturesque eruption of

the world as we know it — or at least as

comic book fans do — scattering trails

of smoke, rubble, dead bodies and genetically

enhanced superheroes every which way. With

a main cast of 20, including four unnamed mu-

tants who are quickly dispatched during a pro-

logue in ancient Egypt, the latest sequel in the

beloved Marvel Comics movie saga about freaks

of nature is, even by today’s bloated standards

of the genre, a bit overstuffed. It’s as if “Captain

America: Civil War” ate “Batman v Superman:

Dawn of Justice,” swallowing everything except

the most indigestible bits of social commentary.

At times, “Apocalypse” can be great fun, even

if it doesn’t know when to hand its car keys to a

friend and ask to be taken home. The super-de-

structive film boasts some eye-popping special

effects, a cameo appearance by a beloved char-

acter and even a bit of self-deprecating humor

at the expense of “X-Men: The Last Stand,” which

is widely held to be the worst film of the original

trilogy. But it’s also about 20 minutes too long -

and 10 characters too large.

The party gets underway, after that open-

ing prologue, with the resurrection of the titu-

lar Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac), a superannuated

mother-of-all-mutants who has been buried in

the ruins of a pyramid since the 37th century

B.C. Shaking off his cobwebs and emerging in-

to the light of 1983 - 10 years after the action

of “X-Men: Days of Future Past” — the now un-

derstandably grouchy supervillain wastes no

time replacing his dead acolytes, known, natu-

rally, as the Four Horsemen: War, Death, Famine

and Pestilence. Luckily for him, the world is full of

fresh recruits for his long-shelved plan: disman-

tling the old world order, in favor of a one over-

seen by mutants.

Is that not what these things are always

about? This time, there’s a vague whiff of the cur-

rent zeitgeist of anti-establishment political fer-

vor, due more to an accident of timing, no doubt,

than any prescience by director Bryan Singer, re-

uniting with his “Days of Future Past” screenwrit-

er Simon Kinberg. Eagerly stepping into the role

of the Four Horsemen are characters who will

be familiar from earlier installments of the fran-

chise, even if their allegiance is not as it has al-

ways been: weather-controlling Storm (Alexan-

dra Shipp); winged Angel (Ben Hardy); Psylocke

(Olivia Munn), who has the ability to generate

psychic weaponry; and Magneto (Michael Fass-

bender).

Traditionally known as the series’s metal-con-

trolling arch-villain, Magneto has always wrestled

with morality, as a result of his parents’ deaths

at Auschwitz. Here, his somewhat grudging em-

brace of the dark side is precipitated by a second

tragedy, which takes place early in the film, add-

ing an unnecessary layer of psychological nuance

to an already fraught character.

On the other side of the battle line is the

mentalist Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and a

slew of his X-Men protegees: most prominently,

shape-shifting Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence); fe-

ral Beast (Nicholas Hoult); lightning-fast Quick-

silver (Evan Peters); Cyclops (Tye Sheridan), who

shoots beams out of his eyes; and the telekinetic

telepath Jean Grey (Sophie Turner).

Did I mention that there are a lot of char-

acters? And that this is one of the most violent

“X-Men” films yet? The brutality may be a mere

warm-up for next year’s as-yet-untitled sequel

about Wolverine, which reportedly is courting an

R rating. Ole Mutton Chops (Hugh Jackman) even

makes an appearance here. It can’t be called

brief, although it adds virtually nothing, except

five minutes, to the film.

As in “Days of Future Past,” the film also con-

tains a piece of special-effects wizardry involv-

ing Quicksilver’s ability to move faster than the

eye can perceive. Here, however, the protracted

“bullet time” sequence comes across as pander-

ing and overlong.

There’s a lot for an “X-Men” fan to like about

“Apocalypse,” in addition to all the eye candy and

familiar faces: themes of tolerance and together-

ness, for example. (Not especially new, but there

you have it.)

The difference between Good and Evil, as

Xavier articulates it, is that the bad guy — despite

his Four Horsemen — is alone, whereas Xavier,

who has the ability to mind-meld with the entire

world, is not.

That’s an inspiring pep talk. For this apoca-

lyptic showdown, however, the coach could eas-

ily have benched a few players without affecting

the outcome of the game.

‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ delivers a bit too much of a good thing

SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

Science behind why squids and octopuses are on the riseBy Rachel Feltman The Washington Post

The number of cephalopods

— squid, octopus and other

squishy sea aliens — has shot

up over the past six decades,

even as humanity’s influence on the

ocean (read: climate change, pollution

and overfishing) has caused many ma-

rine populations to plummet, accord-

ing to a study published Monday in

Current Biology.

In other words, the ocean is becom-

ing a more difficult place to live - and

all of that empty space means every-

thing is coming up octopus.

“Cephalopods are often called

‘weeds of the sea’ as they have a

unique set of biological traits, includ-

ing rapid growth, short lifespans and

flexible development,” study author

Zoë Doubleday of the University of Ad-

elaide said in a statement.

“These allow them to adapt to

changing environmental conditions

(such as temperature) more quick-

ly than many other marine species,

which suggests that they may be ben-

efiting from a changing ocean environ-

ment.”

The researchers analyzed the rate

at which cephalopods have shown up

in fishing catches or sampling efforts

from 1953 to 2013. The study included

35 cephalopod species or genera rep-

resenting six families. As a whole, they

found that the group was thriving and

becoming more prolific.

Doubleday didn’t set out trying

to show that these populations were

booming. In fact, she and her col-

leagues were troubled by the appar-

ent decline of the giant Australian cut-

tlefish. Luckily, it looks as if things are

on the up-and-up for that population

as well.

“To determine if similar patterns

were occurring elsewhere, we com-

piled this global-scale database,” she

explained.

“Surprisingly, analyses revealed that

cephalopods, as a whole, are in fact in-

creasing; and since this study, cuttle-

fish numbers from this iconic popula-

tion near Whyalla are luckily bouncing

back.”

But while that’s great news for the

giant Australian cuttlefish, scientists

aren’t so sure how to feel about an

ocean where squid, cuttlefish and oth-

er octopods are all on the rise.

“I guess if you’re a squid or octopus

fisherman, these increases may seem

like a great thing,” Benjamin Halpern

from the University of California, who

wasn’t involved in the study,

told the Atlantic magazine.

“But such dramatic global

changes are quite worrisome.

When we change the oceans

this much, we move things in-

to a new state — one that we

know much less about. We

might have more squid on our

plates in the short run. What

are we risking losing in the long

run?”

The point is that we don’t

really know how an influx of

these voracious predators will

change the ocean - and that’s

a little scary.

So should we prepare for

a future with a lot more ten-

tacles? That’s unlikely. Cepha-

lopods may be super versatile,

but their population booms

are expected to rise and fall in

a pretty self-regulating fashion

- as was the case with the giant

Australian cuttlefish.

In fact, the researchers

don’t think cephalopods are

necessarily safe from the same

overfishing that’s helped them

prosper. It “will be critical to

manage cephalopod stocks

appropriately so they do not

face the same fate as many of

their longer-lived counterparts,”

they write in the study.
