20 The Genius of Stanley Kubrick Story by David 23 Origin Christian
25 Warrior Cats by Erin Hunter 26 A Note From The Editors
Written by Parvathy Nair Year 8
There is no correct answer to this question. Some of them enter the world with inborn talent and confidence whereas, others acquire the skills as they go along. With the mayhem of the current US elections, the entire world is sat on the edge of their seats, still waiting for confirmation. Today’s article is about inspiring world leaders that have rewritten history. Both Biden and Trump should learn from these individuals as they have taught valuable lessons in leadership that have inspired people from all around the world.
Leaders today can learn and understand from the past to guide them to make better solutions. They should recognise the value of History as it would enable them to make more informed decisions and, avoid mistakes made by others. The ability to appreciate history and balance the past and present shows true leadership. Let us look at two great leaders who have set fine examples.
MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, better known as Gandhi, was an Indian lawyer, politician, social activist as well as a writer. He led the successful campaign for India’s independence from British rule, many were intrigued by his movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi was born in 1896 in Porbandar, India. He studied in Rajkot and was a bright student. Gandhi then decided he wanted to pursue law in London and was very excited to study abroad. However, everything didn’t go his way and he stood out from everyone else. His race, nationality and beliefs were not similar to others but he continued to work hard and his capabilities would always outshine the rest. On January 19th 1915, Gandhi decided to return to India and serve his country. In 1930, he began a massive satyagraha campaign against a British law, that forced Indians to purchase British salt instead of producing their own. He organized a 241 mile long march to the west coast of Gujarat where people harvested salt on the shores of the Arabian Sea. In response, the British imprisoned over 60,000 protesters and Gandhi spent a year in jail due to the salt march. However, Gandhi became a national icon and was referred to as ‘Mahatma’ which meant great soul in Sanskrit. Since then he has stood up for people’s rights however he always believed violence was invalid and he fought his battles with words instead. Gandhi had once stated “nonviolence is a weapon of the strong,” his motives were clear and that is why he is such an inspirational leader of our time.
NELSON MANDELA Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was a South African political leader, who served as the president from 1994 to 1999. He was a great inspiration to all and fought for the rights of people of color. Mandela was born in 1918 in Mvezo, South Africa. His childhood was filled with training and education. Mandela was involved in a variety of sports such as boxing and track, he was also excellent at both. He then studied law at the university of Witwatersrand, here he earned a degree and became involved in the fight against racial discrimination. This is where his path to success began. In 1948 the segregation between people of different races got worse. This policy forced people of color to always carry around identification and they weren’t allowed in certain areas of the country. At first Mandela used nonviolent tactics such as strikes to protest.
Later on, he encouraged people to violate laws. Over 8,000 people were jailed for violating curfews and refusing to carry and identification. As matters got worse, Mandela realized the only way for equality was with armed forces. He left the country to receive military training and gain support. However, he was arrested for leaving the country without a permit and they also found confidential documents regarding his plan. In 1964, Mandela was sentenced to life prison and he was only allowed one 30 minute visit every year. During his imprisonment Mandela grew famous and members of the United Nations began to call for sanctions against South Africa. F.W. de Klerk (the new president) had no choice but to release Mandela from prison and end segregation between different races. Mandela has always been an inspirational role model to all and has taught everyone to stand up for their own rights.
One common thread that links together these great world leaders is that they devotedly led with strong motives and purpose. They inspired an entire country to push themselves and do their very best. Above all, during tough times they had the strength and resilience to come out of each problem stronger than ever. Citizens are lucky to have had leaders such as these as they encouraged us to chase our dreams and achieve goals. Fabulous leaders such as these are what make up a strong union. Whilst the future of America’s leadership may be unclear, both men could take lessons from past leaders.

Hartland International School celebrated UAE National Day a little differently this year. Social distancing meant that we could not enjoy our usual cultural activities on our sports field. So, there was no camel or delicious Arabic tea and sweets. However, this doesn’t mean that we did not show our appreciation and celebrate the achievements of this country that many of us call home. Our day started with everyone dressed in the colours of the flag or in national dress. This was followed by themed UAE lessons in most subjects. Many of the students brought a UAE themed lunch to school to commemorate this day. The Secondary school came together for a virtual assembly presented by Mr Buse and students. The assembly celebrated the accomplishments of the UAE in the last 49 years. Students read from the Holy Quran and presented poems written about the UAE. Although our celebrations were subdued and socially distanced, the enthusiasm and appreciation for the country were as strong as ever.

WHEN THE DOORS CLOSE
With Mr Peacock!
In this edition of From the Hart, Sophia Nafid asks Mr. Peacock, Hartland International school’s DT teacher, some interesting and intriguing questions. We wanted to find out what makes him tick but of course, Mr. Peacock has a reputation for being a fun, humorous teacher, therefore asking him some amusing questions, could lead to some interesting answers. Sophia: What’s the most ridiculous fact you know? Mr Peacock: The eye of an ostrich is bigger than its brain. Sophia: What is the best and worst purchases you’ve ever made? Mr Peacock: My cars are always my best and worse purchases. I have a really bad track record of buying the same car again and again. My record is 4 cars that were the same. Sophia: How do you pack your suitcase for a vacation? Do you throw everything in or do you neatly fold it? Mr Peacock: I roll my clothes when I pack a suitcase as I once read that it uses the least space and I HATE paying for extra baggage. I once wore 3 sets of clothes onto a plane, so I didn’t have to pay for baggage. Sophia: If you could be in any movie, what movie would it be? Mr Peacock: It would have to be a post-apocalyptic movie like The Road. I like the idea of being one of few survivors left on earth. Weird, I know! Sophia: What villain would make the best therapist? Mr Peacock: The Joker.
WHEN THE DOORS CLOSE
With Mr Peacock!
Sophia: What's the most useless word?
Mr Peacock: The word: can’t. It is something I hear far too often as a teacher. Sophia: Which smells better, fresh cut grass or bread baking in the oven? Mr Peacock: Fresh cut grass – reminds me of growing up in the English countryside . Sophia: If you could kill off any character from a current television show you are watching, who would it be? Mr Peacock: Well the only television show I am currently watch is The Crown and killing off any member of the British royal family would be treachery. Sophia: If you could invite three people to dinner, living or dead, who would you invite? Mr Peacock: Gordon Ramsey as I would love to see his reaction to my cooking. Kurt Cobain as he could provide the after-dinner entertainment. Bill Hicks as we need a comedian to lighten the mood. Sophia: If you could have an unlimited storage of anything, what would it be? Mr Peacock: I am going geeky on this one.... I would want unlimited storage of electricity. If we could find a way to store high amounts of electricity, then renewable power sources would really take off.
A SPOTLIGHT ON SCIENCE WEEK WRITTEN BY ABEER GASIM YEAR 7
THE INSPIRATION BEHIND SPACE WEEK... This was the inaugural year for Space Week at Hartland International, hopefully this will now be firmly embedded in our calendar. Although World Space Day is the second week of October, we decided that the first week of November would be the perfect time for our school. We were inspired by the many astronomical strides taken in the last year, from Hazza Al Mansoori making history for being the first Emirati to go to space and recently Space X launching four astronauts to the ISS (international space station). We can confidently say the last two years have been amazing regarding space and space travel.
THE PRIMARY WINNERS.. In the primary section of the school, students participated in Maths, English, and Scienceinfluenced lessons. Students in year 5 investigated the influence of Isaac Newton and forces which contribute to spaceships and how forces affect their launch to space. The whole school participated in a ‘Make your own Rocket’ competition’ which tested the creativity and the engineering skills of students across the school. It was a tough job, but the finalists were announced in our virtual whole school assembly. 1st place Leonid (5R) 2nd place Mathew (1R) 3rd place Olivia (2L) Congratulations to all the winners! In year 1 Miss Haugh, Head of Science, taught specialist lessons and the students made spectacular mini rockets. Things got a bit messy in FS as Miss Haugh made cool galactic slime with the students. Overall, it was an amazing week for all the primary students.
A SPOTLIGHT ON SCIENCE WEEK
THE SECONDARY WINNERS... Up on the secondary floor, students also had space themed lessons. In year 8 students learned about forces and pressure but in more advanced ways. The Science department introduced a competition to see who could make the best and most livable city on Mars, it had to be innovative and have a scientific theory to support the design. From underground living to skyscrapers, there were many amazing designs all supported by relevant scientific theory. 1st place – Aryan and Sam (year 9) 2nd place – Jenin (year 10) 3rd place – Kris, Mohammed and Abhishek Special thanks to Miss Haugh and the Science team for such a phenomenal week full of interesting ideas and discussions. Next year’s Science week will be Expo inspired so watch this space!
Written by Jenin Al Shalabi
During the series of indisputably chaotic events that were set in motion by COVID-19, the UK government decided that it would be the right time to release an advert - one that blatantly bashed those who work within the arts industry. This advert shows a young ballerina lacing up her point shoes, with the heading “Fatima’s next job could be in cyber. (she just doesn’t know it yet)”. When I first saw this ad, I had to take a moment to question whether or not it is was satire. What had dumbfounded me most was the conspicuous show of insensitivity that the government had aimed at an industry that had been so devastatingly eviscerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. If this back-handed slap to the arts industry has made one thing clear, it’s that government officials cannot empathetically communicate with those facing mass unemployment. “I agree it was crass.” said culture secretary, Oliver Dowden on Twitter. He continues the tweet, saying that this ad was a “partner campaign” to encourage people from “all walks of life” to go into a career in cybersecurity. Of course, if he had backpedaled any quicker, he would have run into a wall. Many quickly saw through his overt efforts to distance himself from the advert as swiftly and as discreetly as possible. Nowhere within the tweet does he accept even a sliver of responsibility - as he remains completely unapologetic.
"When I first saw this ad, I had to take a moment to question whether or not it was satire."
As if this heinous advert wasn’t enough - it was also accompanied by a beta version of a quiz released by the government. This quiz was meant to help those who have been unemployed find new career paths, by asking them to answer a series of 50 questions. Seems pretty straightforward and sensible, right? Wrong. The quiz gave immensely ridiculous and impractical suggestions so bizarre, you’d think they’d been picked out of a hat. Many took to Twitter to share their bright new career suggestions! Amongst my favorite ‘practical’ career suggestions were: lock keeper, scaffolder, and pilot (that last one is especially good in a time of such high demand!). This invoked tremendous outrage, as the whole point of this quiz was to help those who had been ‘let down’ by their careers in such frivolous industries, such as the arts, relocate to something more practical and sustainable. And yet, I’m struggling to see how being a lock keeper is more realistic and monetarily beneficial than being a professionally trained ballet dancer.
The overall message of the ad shows that the government clearly cannot offer sufficient support to those in the arts through a series of venue closures and lacking opportunities. Alongside this, the ad also belittles the amount of time, effort, and money that artists invest in their art - whether that be film, dance, or design. It takes approximately 10 years to become a professional dancer - almost the same amount of time it takes to become a General Practitioner. But regardless of this, many flagrantly refuse to accept jobs in the arts as ‘real jobs’. Instead, they choose to show artists behind desks - prioritizing their monetary gain, while restricting any sense of creative freedom the artist has. And to make matters worse - adding a cherry-on-top of this mound of callus belittlement - the image used in the advert was taken from a website called Unsplash. Unsplash is a platform in which young photographers share their photos to be used by anyone, free of charge, with the hopes of one day getting noticed and acknowledged for their work. Somehow, the UK government has managed to insult the integrity of artists everywhere, while actively exploiting young artists in order to do so. How ironic.
"The first thing everyone will do after COVID-19 is cured is rush to theatres, studios, and art galleries - because art, music, film, and dance are what make our lives worth living." The British treasury chief, Rishi Sunak, who is widely considered to be the face of the UK’s economic pandemic response, commented on the situation by saying that workers must simply ‘adjust and adapt to the new reality’. At the end of the day, the fact is that hundreds of successful people got their start in the arts, and managed to convert their vivid creativity into a fulfilling and monetarily sustainable career. Despite this, there are still many who harbor the archaic belief that this art is simply a glorified hobby, rather than a profession that requires dedication. The arts are shoved aside - dismissed as something superfluous or economically unrealistic. This is vastly evident in the constant underfunding of art programs and the relentless monetary cuts made to them. But the undeniable truth - the fact that cannot be concealed by outdated views or regressive outlooks - is that the creative sector holds a role of prodigious importance in the UK. According to the Creative Industries Federation, In the year 2018 alone, the arts contributed over 152 billion pounds to the economy. To put that in perspective, that’s more than the automotive, aerospace, and fossil fuel industries - combined. And unlike the fossil fuel industries, the arts are not a finite resource in constant environmental decline. Therefore, to tell artists to retrain is to undermine the power and influence that the creative sector has on the UK’s economy. Because let’s be honest, the very first thing everyone will do after COVID-19 is cured is rush to theatres, studios, and art galleries - because art, music, film, and dance are what make our lives worth living. The arts is a vital part of life regardless of who you are or where you come from - I think it's time we all stood up, and let the powers that be hears us sing. Together, as one.
AN EXPLORATION OF GEOGRAPHY Written by Aisha Ibrahim, Year 7
Geography is a crucial topic in our learning. This year we are studying a new topic in Geography, Factfulness. The world is going through miserable times; however, in our Geography lessons we have explored that the world truly isn’t as bad as the Media may portray it to be. It is fundamental that we study Geography as it is a path to show significance in our universe. It is the study of the earth. There are three categories in Geography, this term we took the time to understand the meaning of these three types. Human Geography, Physical Geography and Environmental Geography. Geography can offer highly employable, promising professions such as: Volcanologist (study of volcanoes), Weather Forecaster, Marine Biologist, Oceanographer and Seismologist (study of earthquakes). Geography all allows us to investigate culture heritage, landmarks and regions. This helps us to understand how great the world is. After understanding the meaning and significance of Geography, we moved on to global population. To understand the current trends in global population we examined a range of graphs. One of the areas we looked at was, how life expectancy is improving in most countries, including lower income countries around the world.
Global population has rapidly grown since the mid 1800s. This was mainly due to the Industrial Revolution. The UN predicts that by 2100 the population will have increased to potentially 11 billion. That’s a lot to take in. When our population grows, we develop economies and regions grow. On the positive side, the world has more justice, rightness and equality than you think. The idea that the world is becoming worse is a dangerous misconception, this idea comes from Hans Rosling, a distinguished doctor and advisor to the UN. A misconception is a view that is incorrect based on faulty thinking or misunderstanding. Assuming that the world is getting worse and worse as we speak is called the negative instinct, which is when we spot the worst of things rather than the best. We tend to focus on the negatives rather than the positives. In class we have been discussing the positive impacts different solutions have on the world. If you look at the table below you will see examples of positive impacts and progress around the world. These are only the fewest of solutions worldwide. This chart shows that even during a pandemic, we can still focus on the positives. We all need to look for the positives in the world now and think about the facts, we may begin to see that things are not so bad.
A SPACE ODYSSEY “THE WAY THE STORY IS TOLD IS ANTITHETICAL TO THE WAY WE WERE ACCUSTOMED TO SEEING STORIES,” - STEVEN SPIELBERG
WRITTEN BY MELINA GARAUD, YEAR 11
THE GENIUS OF STANLEY KUBRICK A review of 2001: A Space Odyssey
"THE MORE YOU WATCH IT THE MORE QUESTIONS IT ASKS." - LEONARDO DICAPRIO ABOUT 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
It was the 2nd of April, 1968, when ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ first premiered. It was also then when Arthur C Clarke - who had co-written the story - left during the intermission in tears. He wasn't the only one. An estimated 250 audience members walked out alongside him, leaving the genius behind the movie - who would go on to direct The Shining, amongst other renowned films - still inside the theatre. It appeared evident that the film was a monumental disaster - that is, until, its fortune was quickly reversed, with people flocking to the theatres to marvel at the masterpiece. It ended up becoming the highest-grossing film of 1968.
To this day, it is still regarded to be one of the major artistic works of the 20th century. Martin Scorsese has listed it as one of his favourite films of all time - John Lennon said he went to see it every week. This is the story of Stanley Kubrick’s ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’.
“I COULD NOT SLEEP THE NIGHT BEFORE I WAS GOING TO SEE THE MOVIE,” TOM HANKS REMEMBERS OF “2001,” WHICH HE NAMES HIS FAVORITE FILM OF ALL TIME. “I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO SEE COOL SPACESHIPS AND PEOPLE WALKING ON THE MOON, AND THEN THE MAIN TITLE COMES UP. IT WAS PLAYING OVER A CONJUNCTION OF THE MOON, THE EARTH, AND THE SUN. IT WAS LIKE A GOD’S EYE VERSION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM.”
The plot appears straightforward enough: the movie opens on a scene set around four million years ago, when hominids discover a mysterious black monolith before them. Soon after, they progress and develop tools in the form of clubs, allowing them to hunt and fight, ascending the food chain as they take part in the billion-yearold contest of survival of the fittest. We fast forward four million years into the future: 2001. A monolith identical to the one we just witnessed is found on the moon, another orbiting around Jupiter. And therefore, we get introduced to our protagonist, Dave Bowman. A mission to investigate this strange phenomenon has been organised, consisting of five men and an artificially intelligent computer by the name of HAL 9000. Three of these men are hibernating in cryo sleep, whilst the two others - Dave Bowman and Francis Poole - are awake and in charge of a ship. Shortly, HAL begins to display increasingly strange behaviour, leading up to conflicts between man and machine. Dave soon finds himself traveling through space alone, dangerously approaching the inexplicable. Don’t let the title mislead you. This isn’t your typical sci-fi movie, featuring intergalactic battles and high-speed spaceship chases, no. Instead, you can find yourself dealing with themes of human evolution, technology, artificial intelligence, existentialism, and the possibilities of extraterrestrial life. One of the most incredible aspects of this film is the technical and visual parts of it. One must keep in mind that 2001: A Space Odyssey was created in 1968. Meaning, it was made before the moon landing, with limited clips and knowledge of space present at the time. Yet, this movie remains stunning and holds a timeless look. The cinematography, the lighting, the colours, the set pieces - it is a gorgeous, brilliant work of art, the imaginations of possible technology that had not yet existed at the time created by Kubrick.
2001 manages to prophesize many pieces of technology that are common to us today - tablets, for example, which were featured in the film despite it being filmed long before anyone could fathom the idea of owning a portable device of any kind. The AI assistant HAL 9000 closely resembles a more intelligent version of Siri or Alexa, despite being thought of half a century earlier. Video calling, in-flight TV - the list goes on. Stanley Kubrick can either be regarded as a time traveler, or a genius ahead of his time, in both the way he thought and the concepts he dealt with. I would safely go with the latter. Fundamentally, the film intends to take its audience on a journey, posing us questions that seem simple on the surface - yet these are the very questions we have been unable to completely answer. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? What more is possible? I would view the film keeping in mind that it is more of a complex piece of art rather than a plotheavy narrative. The film gives you plenty of time this being an understatement - to observe and process the scenes presented. You won’t find an ending that is more enigmatic or wondrous as the final minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Love it or hate it, none can deny that this film is one of a kind.
ORIGIN STORY BY DAVID CHRISTIAN Written by Aryan Rajagopal The history of the universe. A topic that has baffled yet intrigued many through the ages. From the big bang that created our universe, to ourselves, the human race. This topic is huge and I previously thought that I would have to read many books in order to quench my appetite for knowledge. There are fantastic books that have been published on topics such as Evolution all the way through to Warfare and Technology. One small package changed my mind. July 1st, 2020. I received a package from Amazon that I didn’t order. I didn’t know what was inside, but curiosity got the better of me and I eagerly opened the package. What I found inside was a small book, about 400 pages long, titled ‘Origin Story’. I took the book, went to my room and started reading. I had nothing else to do because school was over for the day, so of course, I decided to immerse myself in the book! I became engrossed in this book and continued reading. I never thought that such a book could exist, combining facts and true science with humor and comedy to make an interesting read.
Over the next few days, I continued reading this wonderful book and was completely engrossed in it from the moment I picked it up. I wanted to know how the book ended, of course, and once I finished, I felt enlightened. I had been taken on an amazing journey from the big bang all the way to today, 2020. I learnt about the evolution of species, the history and probable future path of humanity and how humans lived before the rise of technology. This book is a wonderful read. If you are a student who enjoys Science and Maths, this book will certainly capture your logical brain! Even the most innovative thinkers, like Bill Gates, have read this book and recommended it to others. The book is amazing, funny, and packed full of facts; a must-read for students who enjoy Science, Mathematics and History. If you are one of these students, I can guarantee that this book will capture your mind and earn a place in your shelf.

WARRIOR CATS Written by Rei Tajima In this time as a year 5 student, a book I am enjoying is an adventurous, mysterious series called “Warrior cats� which is written by Erin Hunter. He has written fantastic books about cats; they are fiction stories which are 28 to 30 chapters long. I like this book because it is very interesting and entertainable to read. The main character is a cat, who was born in a house but then ended up living in the forest with other cats. This book is a good read because it is full of mystery and the reader will want to figure out how to solve the mysteries. The ending contains a cliff hanger so you will immediately want to read the next book in the series. In my opinion I think students who like to read adventure stories full of excitement would like it because it contains both adventure and excitement all the way through. Students who like animals may also enjoy this series. In the beginning of the story there is always a description of the characters which makes it easier to follow and allows the reader to get to know the characters. Luckily, this series is available in the Library for students who are interested. This series has wonderful books that cannot be missed and will take you deep into the lives and adventures of the cats. PAGE 22
