Editor’s Letter Dear Students, For the love of knowledge, I keep getting myself involved in various workshops, seminars and lectures. Yes, believe it or not, as you grow older your hunger for knowledge grows as well! Even if at this stage of your life you feel like the last thing you want to do is pick up a book and read, the older you get the more knowledge will fascinate you! My knowledge of astrology was restricted to knowing my horoscope sign, reading it every time I open a magazine, even my own!! Yes, like you, like everyone, I do read my horoscope!!! So when I heard of a workshop that will shed some light into a better understanding of how planetary movements can affect our human behavior, I eagerly signed up. Though my knowledge has surely been added on, the workshop only served to remind me of how little I know on the subject and how vast this subject is! Shall I delve more into this endless universe? Or shall I stick to reading my horoscopes? Well, at least now I know where the planets were positioned when I was born and I know that not only do I have a sun sign but a moon sign as well!!! And that was thanks to the Lilly’s! Till next issue, Just remember, knowledge is indeed power Zeina Mokaddam

It’s all about the Art of Persuasion GUST website awarded Best Interactivity Award for Kuwait The Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST) website received the 2010 Education Web Award for Best Interactivity for the State of Kuwait. The award was granted by Education Web Awards, a member of Pan Arab Web Awards, in a ceremony held on Thursday, March 10, 2011 in Beirut, Lebanon. Dr. Taher Mohammad Ali, Application Manager at the Information Technology Department at GUST, along with Dr. Mona Al-Ghais, Head of the Cultural Office at Kuwait Embassy in Lebanon, were present to receive the award on behalf of GUST and the State of Kuwait. The GUST website received this prestigious award based on their excellent reviews through all award criteria including: concept and creativity ease of use and navigation, content and structure, visual design solutions and aesthetics and interactivity. The Education Web Awards Competition was launched with the support of Pan Arab Web Awards Academy. The importance of this competition resides in being a tool to enhance the construction and development of Arab Education websites and aims at fostering an Arab education community that encourages communication and interaction in the Arab region.
Dr. Zakir Naik: Are the Quran and Modern Sciences Compatible? The Gulf University for Science and Technology was graced with a visit from Dr. Zakir Naik, a renowned orator on Islam and Comparative Religion, to assess the lasting debate between the concepts of Religion and Science and was met by an eager audience and a warm welcome from GUST’s Assistant Vice President for Administrative and Financial Affairs, Ibrahim Emran. In order to draw on how the debate between religion and science does not refer to the two concepts as mutually exclusive, Dr. Naik opened with a quote by Albert Einstein saying, “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” This quote interwoven with the speech, shed light on how religion and science are not independent of each other, but are derived from another. 30-31
GUST in collaboration with Al-Watan Daily kicked off their 6-session program led by GUST professor Dr. John Hayes. The program combines people from all walks of life, GUST students, high school students and even parents and business owners! Dr. John Hayes opened the session with primary examples of persuasive people, their role in the world and how we can become one of them which in itself taught you that you don’t need to have a lot to be one of the most persuasive people out there. Most of the session was dedicated to a DISC analysis of the audience. An analysis test was handed out to everyone and which determined if they were a Dominant personality, a Influencer personality, a Steady personality or a Competent personality. There were no wrong answers. The audience was divided between all personalities and they got an in-depth look into their known strengths, weakness and needs – which they all agreed were eerily true! Dr. Hayes pushed and probed the audience to look deeper into themselves, so they can improve and become the persuader they all want. And this personality test was the first step, because if you know yourself better, you can better judge the person you are trying to sell something to and therefore increase your chances of success! The program will continue every Monday night at 6pm until April 18th.

Through sports I met new friends, traveled the world and did things I never dreamed of doing like: Summiting mountains, running marathons, and cycling between countries.
“
Ahmed Al Majed
If today's younger generation is seeking a role-model, then they need to look no further than Ahmad Al Majed. It's hard to believe now during his teenage years he was over weight and unfit. Determined to change his life he started exercising and learned how to live a healthy lifestyle. Today his passion has also become a succesful business, one where he has inspired and influenced the lives of many others. Let's meet Ahmed Al Majed.
style to a better one. So 1 started to lose weight through exercising specifically cycling. I lost a lot of weight while I used to spend 3 hours every day on my bicycle. After 7 months of continuous training, some of my friends offered me an opportunity to participate in Kuwait’s first cycling race my first reaction was “No Way!”, partly because I wasn’t very competitive, so I didn’t like a challenge as I lacked the confidence to compete.
Ahmed, How would you define the word sport from your perspective? This Question sounds simple enough, but the answer can be as complex as a puzzle. So to simplify it, sports mean everything to me, sports is the reason I’m answering this question today, it completely altered my life and changed me as a man and gave me the chance to discover what lies beyond my human abilities.
But after a few days something happened and I decided to take part in the race. i was pretty nervous but surprisingly on the day of the race I took the lead from start till the finish earning me a first place win. I stood on the podium and they handed me that golden trophy along with the prize (money) and everybody was clapping for me. Until today I cannot explain how I felt at that moment, but I realized that I have the potential and I might be a better athlete if I kept doing what I did so since then I have changed, becoming a person with aspirations, dreams & achievements. Today I feel like I can do anything.
I met new friends, traveled the world and did things I never dreamed of doing like. Summiting mountains, running marathons, and cycling between countries. If you had told me this would be my present back then, I would have never believed you, but thankfully it is now my present and what I hope to be my future as well. How did you start and when? I started back in 1999 when I felt that my life became monotonous, as a Kuwaiti my life was literally planned and given. I’m not complaining, but the way I lived had led me to being an unhappy man for I was an obese smoker who loved KFC which meant health wise I was a disaster, at some point I decided to change my life 32-33
What experience would you say, had the most impact on your life? Well I have to say I’ve been through a lot in the past couple of years that could fall under this category. But the one experience that has left the biggest impact was the decision to quit my well-paid job in a reputable bank, to pursue my masters in sports management in one of the toughest universities in Switzerland studying a specialty that still fails to see recognition by the Kuwait ministry of higher education. It was a huge risk because I had to support myself and learn to be completely independent, I blew through my savings in order to finish
my masters. When I finished I realized that I wanted to start my own sports management company and with supportive partners, I did. Not only that, but my masters degree also gave me the opportunity to become a teacher at GUST and this allowed me to share my knowledge and experiences with young students who have similar aspirations. I have taught more than 430 students in my short-term period as a teacher and I look forward everyday to teach many more as it is one of the most rewarding jobs one can ever have. What do you consider your greatest achievement? My greatest achievement so far was finishing a full ironman triathlon, it included a 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike followed by a full marathon run. When I first started in triathlon I remember thinking how can people do a full ironman it looked like an impossible thing to do, but then I trained and worked hard and with the support of my friends and family, I was able to finish one of the toughest races of my life and today I can tell you that I would gladly do it again for it has taught me a great lesson, it has taught me to keep going even when my body was screaming at me to stop, it has taught me to never give up! The joy of crossing that finish line lasts a life time. You are the Founder of The 3 Club; can you tell us what is The 3 Club? The 3 club is a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to spread the benefits of this sport, this sport that changed me, and by creating the 3-triathlon club. www.the3club.com with my partner who shares similar passions to mine. We get to do that, we get to see lives changing, day by day as more and more of our members discover the power of triathlon and the impact it bestows on their lives. What is triathlon? Triathlon is a fast-growing sport consisting of three disciplines: swimming, cycling and running. However, in reality triathlon is much more. Triathlon is commitment, self-confidence, knowledge, optimism and achievements.
Ironman Germany 7th of July 2008
How many competitions did you participate in? Honestly, I don’t remember I lost count after my 50th but I have more than 62 medals so go figure. What Kind of bike do you prefer to use? That is an easy question, you see aside from my love for triathlon, I also have an unquenchable passion for bikes, and I am the official authorized retailer of the leading bicycle brand in the world “Trek Bikes” which I sell at my stores “Extreme sports” currently we operate from 2 branches one in Salmiya Hamad al Mubarak street, and one in AlTilal complex, Shuwaikh. So without a doubt I’d say that I prefer using bikes from trek and currently I’m using their latest speed machine, called “Speed concept 9.9”
Barcelona Garmin Triathlon October 2009
How would you describe the Sport in Kuwait? Well If I had to use one word I’d say “Growth” I think Kuwait has an amazing potential and slowly its being realized. People are more aware now and they actually care about performance and achievements. So I’m hopeful that one day Kuwait will become a sports hub. What would you like to say to STUDENTALK readers who wish to become more athletic and incorporate sports in their daily life? Well I would like to say one thing “Start” and see the difference, why do you have to sit behind and read stories like you’re reading mine, when you can go out there and make your own story, hopefully a story that we’ll get to read one day! Go on .. start and make it happen to your life! Woohoooooooo!!!

There will be a cinema industry in Kuwait that will be created by a new generation of filmmakers raised by cinemagic and they will take the Kuwaiti cinema to the top again; I hope we will live to see that moment.

FINANCIAL Technical Analysis 1
WHAT IS TECHNICAL ANALYSIS? It is the study of past financial market data, primarily through the use of charts, to forecast price trends and make investment decisions. Technical analysis is concerned only with the actual price behavior of the market or instrument, based on the premise that price reflects all relevant factors before an investor becomes aware of them through other channels. analysts (technicians) identify non-random price patterns and trends in financial markets and attempt to exploit those patterns. While technicians use various methods and tools, the study of price charts is primary. Technicians especially search for archetypal patterns, such as the well-known head and shoulders reversal pattern, and also study such indicators as price, volume, and moving averages of the price. Many technical analysts also follow indicators of investor psychology (market sentiment). The goal of technicians is to forecast movements in price and magnitude such that large gains from the correct predictions are enough to offset more numerous but smaller losses from incorrect predictions, leading to a positive return in the long run through proper risk control and money management. Unlike the fundamental analysis, study of economic factors that some analysts say can influence prices in financial markets, pure technical analysis holds that prices already reflect all such influences before investors are aware of them; hence the study involves the price action alone. Some traders use technical or fundamental analysis exclusively, while others use both types to make trading decisions.
Principles of Technical Analysis
Technicians believe that profits can be made by “trend following.” So, if a stock price is steadily rising (trending upward), a technician will look for opportunities to buy this stock. This is why technical analysis is concerned more with where prices are moving (the direction or chart pattern), instead of why prices are moving (e.g. poor earnings, difficult business environment, poor management, or other fundamentals). Until the technician is convinced this uptrend has reversed or ended, all else equal, he will continue to own this security. To that end, technical analysts anticipate the various patterns on a price chart and take positions according to the expected pattern. Technicians apply tools (more detailed technical tools will be addressed next issue) of technical analysis to decide when the trends and patterns have begun, peaked, reversed, etc. and accordingly will build their expectations for the future trend. Based on the technicians’ beliefs, technical analysis data can be interpreted in several ways. For example, most technicians may agree on the importance of crossing a certain point, however, they may not agree on the way to act upon fulfilling the requirement. Still it is best to know that they all agree on the same action of buying or selling a stock. Technical analysis may be at odds with fundamental analysis. Fundamental analysis maintains that markets may misprice a security and, through various methods of fundamental analysis, the “correct” price can be calculated. Profits can be made by trading the mispriced security and then

waiting for the market to recognize its “mistake” and re-price the security. In contrast, a technical analyst is not interested in a security’s “correct” price, only in price movement. Market action discounts everything - The purpose of technical analysis is to interpret the signals generated from market price action. Technical analysts believe that because all relevant information is already reflected by prices, it is redundant to do fundamental analysis - including a study of micro fundamentals and global factors like economic and political news. If such factors affect a financial instrument, the price will tell. History tends to repeat itself - Technical analysts believe that investors collectively repeat the behavior of the investors that preceded them. To a technician, the emotions in the market may be irrational, but they exist. Because investor behavior does repeat itself so often, technicians believe that recognizable (and predictable) price patterns will develop on a chart. Technical analysis is not limited to charting, yet is always concerned with price trends. For example, many technicians monitor surveys of investor sentiment. These surveys gauge the attitude of market participants, specifically whether they are bearish or bullish. Technicians use these surveys to help determine whether a trend will continue or if a reversal could develop; they are most likely to anticipate a change when the surveys report extreme investor sentiment. Surveys showing overly bullish, for example, are evidence that an uptrend may reverse - the premise being that if most investors are bullish they have already bought the market (anticipating higher prices). And because most investors are bullish and invested, one assumes that few buyers remain. This leaves more potential sellers than buyers, despite the bullish sentiment. This suggests that prices will trend down, and is an example of contrarian trading.

Ben Affleck to testify to US Congress on DR Congo
Lady Gaga Eyes Legal Action Over Breast Milk Ice Cream
Actor Ben Affleck will testify before a key US Congress committee next week on the humanitarian crisis in Democratic Republic of Congo, the panel’s chairman announced. Affleck, founder of the Eastern Congo Initiative advocacy organization, will appear before the House Africa, Global Health and Human Rights Subcommittee, Republican Representative Chris Smith said in a statement. The actor, who starred in “Armageddon” and “Pearl Harbor,” and won the best original screenplay Oscar for “Good Will Hunting”, will appear at a hearing entitled “The Democratic Republic of the Congo: Securing Peace in the Midst of Tragedy,” chaired by Smith. Lawyers for US pop icon Lady Gaga have threatened legal proceedings against the makers of breast milk ice cream named “Baby Gaga”, according to papers seen by AFP. The New York singer’s lawyers have given the manufacturers some time to change the name “if you wish to avoid proceedings for trade mark infringement and passing off ”, according to a letter addressed to London restaurant The Icecreamists Limited. The cafe in the trendy Covent Garden district must also “cease and desist from in any other way associating with Lady Gaga any ice cream you are offering,” said the letter from law firm Mishcon de Reya. The letter accuses The Icecreamists of “taking unfair advantage of, and riding on the coattails of ” Lady Gaga’s trademarks in a manner that is “deliberately provocative and, to many people, nauseainducing”. 64-65

Kuwait Host Drifting Event “Red Bull Car Park Drift” on April 22, 2011 Kuwait is getting ready to host a unique motorsport event and motorsport fans should get ready for the most intense and exciting drifting event ever, the Red Bull Car Park Drift. This thrilling event will take place on Friday, April 22nd 2011. The Red Bull Car Park Drift is an event where drifters have to show all their skills in car handling and keep their cars sliding for extended periods of time, often linking several turns. Only Rear-Wheel Drive cars and all-wheel drive saloon and sports cars are allowed to enter this competition.Several factors will be taken into consideration to determine the results such as taking the correct line, the speed entering and exciting the turn and the show factor which is based on the amount of smoke, engine sound, how close the car is to the cones and the crowd’s reaction. While the contestants will seek to provide the best and most exciting performance, a judging panel of Rally Champions will be on hand to evaluate and give the appropriate points for the best drifting show. The judging panel will consist of Lebanese Rally Champion and Middle East Hill Climb 66-67
Champion, Red Bull’s Driver Abdo Feghali, Kuwait and Middle East Rally Champion Mishaal Al Nejadi, Quarter Mile Club Manager. Kuwait hosts the local qualification for this event on April 22nd and the winner will have the chance to compete in the final round taking place in Lebanon on Friday, July 22nd 2011. This event is open for the public and Motorsport fans are invited to watch the Red Bull Car Park Drift event from the grandstands located at both sides of the track. Drifting refers to a driving technique and to a motorsport where the driver intentionally oversteers, causing loss of
traction in the rear wheels through turns, while maintaining vehicle control and a high exit speed. A car is said to be drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle prior to the corner apex, and the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn, and the driver is controlling these factors. As a motor sport, professional drifting competitions are held across the world. Modern drifting as a sport started out as a racing technique popular in the All Japan Touring Car Championship races over 30 years ago. Motorcycling legend turned driver, Kunimitsu Takahashi, was the foremost creator of drifting techniques in the 1970s. He is noted for hitting the apex at high speed and then drifting through the corner, preserving a high exit speed. Drifting has evolved into a competitive sport where drivers compete in rear wheel drive cars, and occasionally all wheel drive cars, to earn points from judges based on various factors. Because driving is a responsibility and maintaining public safety is always required on public roads, Red Bull Car Park Drift will be a unique opportunity for drifters to test their skills and compete within safe and secured measures.

New chapter in a success story from March 2011
The new-generation C-Class The new C-Class to be launched in spring 2011 is a comprehensive modernisation. The front and rear sections of this bestselling model have a more striking design. Together with the optional, high-resolution colour display in the instrument cluster, the new dashboard with its elegant, grained surface and prominent decorative trim emphasises the premium character of the interior. Fuel consumption has been lowered by up to 31 percent. Efficiency-enhancing measures include new engines, the improved 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission and the ECO start/stop function, which will available on selected engines in the Middle East later in the year. Ten new driving assistance systems ranging from ATTENTION ASSIST drowsiness detection to DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control are now available for this model series. The new-generation telematics include internet access and a 3D navigation display with plastic city views. «In terms of drive and protection systems the newgeneration C-Class offers the same comfort and safety as our luxury models. And with numerous high-grade features in the interior that remind one of the new CLS, the C-Class sets completely new standards in its segment with respect to perceived value and quality,» says Frank Bernthaler, Sales & Marketing Director, Mercedes-Benz Cars, Middle East & Levant. This interior modernisation is supplemented with a new telematics generation that not only includes completely redesigned displays, but also makes onboard internet access available.
A total of more than 2000 new components distinguish the latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class from its predecessor. The Middle East market launch will take place from March 2011. In addition to the standard appointments – which now include a leather steering wheel – the two designs and equipment lines ELEGANCE and AVANTGARDE are the basis for the individualisation programme of the C-Class. The two lines are now even more readily distinguishable from each other. The C-Class is the highest-selling model series, and therefore of particular importance for Mercedes-Benz. The current series has found well over one million buyers worldwide since its launch in March 2007. Since the introduction of the first C-Class in 1982 (then known as the model 190), MercedesBenz has sold more than 8.5 million vehicles in total in this segment. In 2010 too, the C-Class has repeatedly won top places in the registration statistics. www.studentalk-online.com

Music 8 Great Benefits of Practicing Music By Nariné Okjian
kuwait-music.com
3- Conquer Fear and Take Risks:
Music performance teaches young people to conquer fear and to take risks. A little anxiety is a good thing, and something that will occur often in life. Dealing with it early often makes it less of a problem later. Risk-taking is essential if a child is to fully develop his or her potential. Source: www.childrensmusicworkshop.com
4- Value Hard Work and Discipline:
It takes a lot of time, determination and practice for people to excel playing a musical instrument. It actually takes years of practice to excel playing music pieces and master them. Practicing and studying music continuously shows students how, through hard work they can produce better sounding and less faulty music, and encourages them to patiently work on one thing to collect the rewards. It is very important to supervise children at this age and help them schedule for their music practice and follow it regularly. It will build the sense of discipline that will help them later in their lives.
5- Have the Positive Effect of Music on Brain Development:
How it positively affects students & children
At some point in your life you must have heard a lullaby or children’s songs if you cannot remember them from your own childhood. Did you notice that children are more receptive to songs and show better communication? In fact, studies have shown that the majority of students and children, who practice music, show better signs of school readiness, demonstrate better academic abilities, confidence, and more balanced attitude. Therefore, we would like to pick eight of the many benefits of music that positively contribute to a child’s overall development and prepare them to successfully lead a life full of challenges personally, socially and professionally. Students and children who practice and study music will:
1- Have Improved Memory:
Music can improve the non-music related abilities. Studies indicate a positive correlation between music lessons and memory, mathematics, literacy, reading ability, IQ and grades. Laurel Trainor, professor of psychology, neuroscience and behavior at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, says: “It is very interesting that the children taking music lessons improved more over the year on general memory skills that are correlated with non-music abilities such as literacy, verbal memory, visio spatial processing, mathematics and IQ.”
2- Appreciate Team Work:
Music study enhances teamwork skills. Working in groups requires trust, respect and communication skills. In order to produce good sound you need to be in harmony with the rest of your team members. As infants, while listening to lullabies & songs and learning to sing them, babies learn necessary life skills such as cooperation and collaboration. Later, more skills can be gained as music is practiced in children’s daily lives. They can even start forming bands with their friends and neighbors’ children. It helps them learn the value of teamwork and a child and become more likely to learn and use them when they know they can get the opportunity to perform live.
“The most important benefit, however, is the proven positive effects music has on brain development. This has been thoroughly researched and documented and is most crucial during the first 6 years, when the most important brain development takes place. (Don’t think we need this) Source: www.musiceducationmadness.com Studies have clearly indicated that musical training physically develops the part of the left side of the brain known to be involved with processing language. Source: www.childrensmusicworkshop.com
6- Have an Opportunity for Self Expression:
Music provides children with a means of self-expression. Now that there is relative security in the basics of existence, the challenge is to make life meaningful and to reach for a higher stage of development. Everyone needs to be in touch at some time in his life with his core, with what he is and what he feels. Self-esteem is a by-product of this self-expression. If parents would expose their children to classical music at a young age, the youngsters who have had this exposure then gain an advantage in academic performance, self-esteem, and probably improved attitudes in general. Music contributes strongly to “school readiness”. “In adolescence, music makes a major contribution to the development of self-identity and is seen as a source of support when young people are feeling troubled or lonely,” says Professor Susan Hallam, of the Institute of Education, University of London.
7- Gain Skills for the workplace:
Music study develops skills that are necessary in the workplace. We hear from our bosses all the time how they want to ‘get the job done’. Apparently music focuses on performing rather than observing, which usually becomes a habit for the person playing or practicing music.
8- Interpret Human Behavior:
Last but not least, music training can help individuals differentiate emotions in speech which may increase their ability to interpret human behavior. Which is also proved to help with autistic problems. If you’d like to know how you or your friends, children or family can benefit from learning music, visit www.kuwait-music.com and go to the “Marketplace” section.
