Science fiction can be seductive. Of course we want to boldly go where no one has gone before. But space exploration is a job for robots, not humans.

Aligarh Muslim University Alumni Qatar (AMUAQ) held an Alumni meet on October 5 at MIA Park. The meet was
attended by over 180 Alumni in Attendance and has turned out to be one of the most
preeminent gathering in the recent times. Executive committee informed
members about the preparation of the 200th bicentennial Sir Sayed day which will be celebrated on October 26, at
Sheraton Hotel. Encouraging speeches were delivered by President, Vice-President, General Secretary and senior Aligs Mr Habib Un Nabi Zama, Mr Moen Azmi, Mr Jawaid Alam.
College of the North Atlantic - Qatar (CNA-Q), in partnership with the Unesco Doha Office and
the Qatar National Committee of Sci-ence, Education and Culture, hosted a successful World Teachers’ Day event, on October 5.
Dr Anna Paolini, Director, and Unesco Representative of the Arab States in the Gulf and Yemen, presented a joint message on behalf of Unesco, Unicef, ILO, UNDP and Education International on the occasion of this year’s World Teachers’ Day. She highlighted the important role of teachers to realise the vision of the Sustainable Development Goals, and appealed to partners in gov-ernments and across the education and private sectors to commit to building a highly skilled, valued and empowered education workforce. The keynote
address for the programme was pre-sented by Dr John Fien, Professor of Practice at RMIT University in Mel-bourne, Australia.
In the afternoon, nearly 300 K-12 teachers from across Qatar attended a workshop to learn more about integrat-ing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) into the class-room. The workshop was credited towards teachers’ professional devel-opment hours.
For CNA-Q’s own faculty, the theme of the afternoon session was Stories of Empowerment: Reflections from the Classroom. This was a moderated panel session comprised of CNA-Q alumni and faculty members who shared inspira-tional stories of real life experiences as teachers and learners, followed by an open discussion.

COVER STORY MONDAY 9 OCTOBER 201704
David Von Drehle The Washington Post
Juvenal, that biting pundit of the Roman Empire, complained of weak lead-ers distracting the people with “panem et circenses”
- bread and circuses. In our day, it’s moon bases and missions to Mars.
Europe is splintering. North Korea has gone full “Dr. Strangelove.” Disaster in Puerto Rico. Massacre in Las Vegas. Crickets chirping on Capitol Hill, where Republi-can promises go to die. With so much to be done and few plans for doing it, the people need to be distracted. So Vice President Mike Pence was trotted out last week to revive a long-dormant presidential commission and get American astronauts back into space.
Perhaps you thought our astronauts never left space. Haven’t they been space walk-ing, repairing telescopes, performing experiments and making music videos up there for years? Turns out those missions take place in “low Earth orbit,” less than 350
miles from home. Millions of kids have ventured farther to attend college than our astro-nauts have traveled from Earth these past 45 years.
Though Pence’s commis-sion is unlikely to tell you, there are very good reasons Americans, and other humans, abruptly stopped going deep into space. It’s deadly. It’s unnecessary. And to borrow from Gertrude Stein, there’s no there there.
Doubtless, Americans could return to the moon, and even stay there for a while. It would cost vast sums, but we have good credit and high tol-erance for debt. The question is why. The moon is still the same dead, dusty desert we left in 1972. Ice-covered Ant-arctica and the Sarahan sands are both far more hospitable to human life than the moon.
A moon base makes zero sense on its own terms, so it’s pitched as a trampoline to Mars. Face it: The Red Planet has the best PR in the solar system. What Scientology is to creepy movie stars, Mars travel is to swashbuckling bil-lionaires. Elon Musk, Richard
Branson and Jeff Bezos (owner of The Post) have all set their sights on the fourth rock from the sun, with Musk saying he hopes to die there - “just not on impact.”
Boosterish scientists report that midday tempera-tures may reach a balmy 60-plus degrees on the Mars version of St. Tropez, but Musk better pack a heavy snowsuit to go with his Speedo. Having virtually zero atmosphere to hold the warmth, the planet cools off overnight to around 90 degrees below zero at the equator. The average temper-ature, according to NASA, is 81 below. Still, a human traveler to Mars should make the most of its airless monotony, because there is no coming back. The long passage through the vacuum of space will expose astronauts to intense and prolonged bom-bardment by cosmic rays and unimpeded solar radiation - a death sentence for which NASA has no solution (though scientists continue to seek one). At the Hotel Mars, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
Mission to Mars: A not so great human adventure
COVER STORYMONDAY 9 OCTOBER 2017 05
What’s more, Mars is a dead end. As fatally desolate and brutal as Mars is, our neighbor planet is the most habitable destination for many, many light years in any direction.
Science fiction can be seduc-tive. Of course we want to boldly go where no one has gone before. But space exploration is a job for robots, not humans. Nature has adapted us exquisitely and pre-cisely for life in one particular ecosystem in one remote corner of an incomprehensibly vast universe.
But here’s the good news: It’s a really nice ecosystem! Earth is blanketed with a breathable atmosphere, and the gravity’s just right to hold us in place without crushing our bodies. There is snow for skiing, and there are beaches for tanning. Land and seas teem with food - so much that the ever-growing human population has never been better nourished than today. There are wondrous things to see, such as Yellowstone, the Louvre and Willie Nelson.
The vice-president touted the commercial prospects for humans in space, but that, too, is a distrac-tion. There is no economic
enterprise (apart from space tour-ism) that can be done more efficiently by humans in space than by space robots or humans on the ground. It’s all pie in the sky.
Other promoters of moon bases and Mars colonies are doomsday theorists, grimly labour-ing under the belief that humans are going to destroy the Earth and need to have a lifeboat ready. This
is dangerous thinking. For all the troubles in our current home, they are small compared with the prob-lems of living in a terrarium on a frozen rock under skies composed of 95 percent carbon dioxide. If we have money and energy and brain-power enough to build settlements on distant wastelands, we are bet-ter off deploying those resources to preserve the bountiful planet we
already have.The vast and murderous uni-
verse has conspired to maroon the human race - but what a wonder-ful island we’re on. Rather than go in search of dust bowls to die in, let us send our robot eyes and ears to explore the lifeless seas of space, marveling at their findings while giving thanks that we’re not with them.

KSQ organises Engineer’s Day celebrations
Karnataka Sangha Qatar (KSQ) organised an Engineer’s Day celebrations recently to
commemorate the 157th birthday of Bharata Ratna Sir M Vish-weshwaraiah which was also the golden jubilee year of Engineer’s Day. The function began with the lighting of the lamp and paying flo-ral tributes to the portrait of M Vishweshwaraiah.
Vasudha introduced the exhaustive life story of the legend, M Vishweshwaraiah.
Kishore Venkatesh, an Electri-cal Engineer working for Technip Qatar, as a Guest Speaker gave a beautiful presentation on the topic
“Power at Offshore”. The annual Abhiyantarashree
awards were bestowed on Nilangshu Dey, working for QP and Raj Joti of Qatar Gas for their phe-nomenal contribution, performance and service in their work fields. Addressing the function, Nilangshu Dey spoke his wide experience in the middle east in general and
Qatar in particular. He said that Indian Engineers
are in thousands of numbers in Qatar and known for their profes-sional skills. Another awardee, Raj Joti also shared his path of growth in Qatar Gas and thanked his col-leagues of different nationalities for the success of his career.
Presiding over the function as Chief Guest, Milan Arun, ICC Pres-ident, expressed the need and desire to conduct functions of leg-endary personalities to keep and
imbibe ethics, work culture and discipline among the younger gen-erations. H K Madhu, KSQ President in his welcome address also empha-sised that only those who contribute to the society, commu-nity and work selfless to build the nation can become icons and leg-ends who leave legacy behind them for centuries.
Venkat Rao, KSQ’s Senior Vice-President proposed the vote of thanks and Pushpa Girish compered the programme”
Division J Toastmasters in Qatar conducted a work-shop entitled “The Magic
of Mentoring” and “Know your Speech Contest Rules” at Birla Public School, in Doha , recently.
Division J Toastmasters in Qatar has strength of over 330 members spread over 13 Clubs grouped in 4 areas, and boasts of a multicultural mix of members.
The workshop presentation on “The Magic of Mentoring” was deliv-ered by TM Safeer Azeez, a senior Toastmaster with over 15 years experience.
Conforming to the presentation guidelines from Toastmasters Inter-national, TM Safeer outlined the
relevance of mentoring, how to have a Mentor Management pro-gramme at the club level and the facets of an ideal mentor-mentee relationship, using real-life scenar-ios to elucidate the concept.
A proven leader, Manzoor Moideen, DTM, has essayed signif-icant leadership roles in
Toastmasters, and his experience was on full display when he decon-structed the Toastmasters International Speech Contest Rules (2017-2018), clearing many uncer-tainties in their interpretation ensuring all participants were made aware of the Toastmasters Inter-national Speech Contest Rules and
their revisions. The event was graced by District 20 Programme Quality Director DTM Sundaresan Rajeswar, a well-renowned & revered senior Toastmaster, who pointed out the relevance of men-toring and the role of effective leadership in today’s environment.

HEALTH MONDAY 9 OCTOBER 201710

Vaccinating mothers against whooping cough during pregnancy may prevent 9
out of 10 severe cases of this poten-tially fatal respiratory infection in their babies, a US study suggests.
The bacterium Bordetella per-tussis causes whooping cough, which gets its nickname from the sounds patients make as they gasp for air during intense coughing fits. Pertussis is highly contagious and easily spread when an infected individual coughs or sneezes. About half of babies under age 1 who catch pertussis require hospitali-zation for serious complications like pneumonia or brain disorders.
For the study, researchers examined data on 251 infants who developed whooping cough before 2 months of age and a control group of 537 babies who didn’t catch per-tussis as newborns.
Overall, researchers estimate that giving pregnant women the Tdap booster vaccine for tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis prevented about 78 cases of whooping cough in their babies for every 100 moth-ers vaccinated. The vaccine effectiveness rate was 90 percent when researchers looked only at severe cases requir ing hospitalisation.
“Our evaluation adds to the
growing body of evidence that vac-cination during pregnancy is effective at protecting infants from whooping cough in the early months of life, a period when infants are more likely to have severe or even deadly whooping cough infections,” said lead study author Tami Skoff of the US Cent-ers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta.
Health officials in many coun-tries recommend vaccination during pregnancy, as well as a series of three shots for infants starting sometime between ages 6 weeks and 3 months. Some coun-tries also recommend that women get vaccinated during each preg-nancy because effectiveness of the shot wanes over time.
In early 2013, the CDC recom-mended that all pregnant women get the Tdap shot, regardless of whether they previously had received this vaccine.
The study examined data col-lected from 2011 through 2014 in California, Connecticut, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York and Ore-gon. Researchers compared records on babies with whooping cough to records for similar babies who were born at the same hospital but didn’t contract pertussis.
Most of the women who got vaccinated received their shots during the third trimester of preg-nancy, and the vaccine was 78% effective at preventing whooping
cough for their babies, the study team reports in Clinical Infectious Diseases.
When women got vaccinated in the second trimester, the vac-cine was 64% effective.
When women got the vaccine at any point prior to pregnancy, the shot was 51% effective at prevent-ing infant pertussis, the study also found.
One limitation of the study is that most women who got vacci-nated received their shots around the same time, making it impossi-ble to pinpoint meaningful differences in vaccine effectiveness based on when during pregnancy vaccination occurred, the authors note.
Even so, the study results sug-gest third-trimester vaccination is highly effective at preventing infec-tions in babies too young to receive the vaccine, said Annette Regan, a public health researcher at Curtin University in Australia who wasn’t involved in the study.
“We know that most women say they would accept a whooping cough vaccine if their health pro-vider recommended it to them, but unfortunately we also know that clinicians do not always recom-mend vaccine to their patients.”
“The results of this study really highlight why it’s important for cli-nicians to recommend whooping cough vaccine to every expectant mother.”
Early school
timings impact
child’s health
IANS
Is your child not getting ample sleep due to early school hours? Beware, your
kid is more likely to develop depression and anxiety, warns a new study.
The study reveals that chil-dren, who start schooling before 8:30am, get insufficient sleep or barely meet the min-imum amount of sleep, that is 8-10 hours, needed for healthy functioning of the body.
“Even when a student is doing everything else right to get a good night’s sleep, early school start times put more pressure on the sleep process and increase mental health symptoms, while later school start times appear to be a strong protective factor for teenager,” said Jack Peltz, Pro-fessor at the University of Rochester in the US.
School timings not only affect the sleeping habits but also the daily functioning of the body. It aggravates major health problems like obesity and heart disease.
The study suggested that maintaining a consistent bed-time, getting between eight and 10 hours of sleep, limiting caf-feine, turning off the television, cell phone and video games before bed may boost sleep quality as well as mental health.
The researchers used an online tool to collect data from 197 students between the ages of 14 and 17. The results showed that good sleep hygiene was directly associ-ated with lower average daily depressive or anxiety symp-toms across all students.
The risk of depression was even lower in the students who started school after 8:30 a.m. in comparison to those who started early.
Fewer newborns get whooping cough when moms get vaccinated

Big B’s stardom can’t be re-created: AamirIANS
Superstar Aamir Khan, who is working with Amitabh Bach-chan in the upcoming film
“Thugs of Hindostan”, says watch-ing the megastar on the big screen is “a fulfilling experience”, and his superstardom can’t be re-created.
Asked if working with Big B was surreal, Aamir, an admirer of the veteran actor, said yesterday:
“Watching Mr Bachchan on screen in a theatre… His aura, action, every nuance of his acting was such a ful-filling experience in cinema.”
Picking his favourite from Amitabh’s filmography is a tough one for Aamir.
“I have many favourites like ‘Natwarlal’, ‘Don’ and ‘Namak Halaal’. In fact, I remember after watching ‘Namak Halaal’ in the the-atre, I called up Mansoor (Khan) and asked him to come with me to watch the film. We went to watch its next show again.”
Talking about Big B’s stardom, he said: “I think the superstardom
of Amitabh Bachchan can’t be re-created. It is so unique, the charisma he has….I mean imagine, there was a time when seven of his films were running in the theatre for months.
“Films like ‘Don’, ‘Mukaddar ka Sikandar’ and ‘Trishul’ in the same year! He used to date clash with his own film!”
As times are changing, and social media culture is playing an important role in building the pub-lic image of Bollywood film stars, Aamir says the definition of star-dom has also changed.
“The fabric has changed. There was a time when access to a star was so limited, especially in the
1950s-60s era when there was no television, and fans used to wait for their stars to appear in cinema or a film’s premiere. They used to wait outside houses.
“Then came television when the interview started and people got the access to see how they looked and talked when not acting….That apart, of course, there were magazines and newspaper interviews. Now everything has changed, and how…”
Now movie stars, he feels, are more communicative, accessible to their fans and it’s more interactive.
“It has changed from waiting outside the house to one click away….Everything about your favourite star is on the phone, and the phone is in your pocket. So you have the favourite star in your pocket,” he said.
The actor is excited about the Diwali release of his film “Secret Superstar”, also featuring Zaira Wasim. It will hit the screens on October 19.

Actor Farhan Akhtar has backed actor Hrithik Roshan in the ongoing row
with actress Kangana Ranaut.Farhan yesterday took to an
open letter on Facebook to defend Hrithik, with whom he has worked in films such as “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” and “Luck By Chance”, but without naming anyone in the let-ter. Farhan cited how unfairly Hrithik has been judged by the media, who presented only on side of the narrative to their audiences. He also mentioned about how dif-ferent the situation would have been if the genders of both parties were reversed.
“Today, I read an open letter written by a man I know about a woman I know, professionally, at best. Although a controversy about them is going around since a while
now, to my best knowledge this is the first time this man has expressed his point of view.”
“I am not the authority on who is right or wrong in their situation, that’s for the cyber crime officials to figure out, but I do feel certain aspects of the way the events have unfolded need comment.”
The actor added that in the soci-ety, it is the woman who suffers injustice and repression.
“It is horrifying but true that in some cases of rape, a section of society has blamed the victim. I have always found this to be unac-ceptable,” said the founder of social campaign MARD (Men Against Rape and Discrimination).
“Although it is true that in most cases it is a woman that has been wronged, there is a difference between ‘most’ and ‘all’,” he said, adding: “There have been cases where men have been stalked.”
Farhan stated that though Hrithik has handed over his per-sonal phone and laptop to the authorities concerned, Kangana has avoided doing so. He also made ref-erence to a photograph of the two actors from a party -- which Farhan says is “manipulated”.
“The actual image consisted of a group of friends including the man’s wife (now ex-wife) standing together in a party,” Farhan wrote.
He says the reason he felt the need to say this is because it is apparent that some people have already “jumped to conclusions while some are deriving some sort of voyeuristic pleasure by encour-aging the woman to carry on speaking”. Farhan also urged eve-ryone to “avoid vilifying the man on the basis of unsubstantiated statements” until a logical conclu-sion is brought by the authorities.
“Let’s not discriminate.”

ENTERTAINMENT MONDAY 9 OCTOBER 201712Gaga mistakes Isla Fisher for Amy AdamsIANS
Singer Lady Gaga once mistook actress Isla Fisher for Amy Adams.
Gaga and Fisher met at a star-studded Hollywood bash where the singer misunder-stood Fisher as Adams and praised her for “American Hustle”.
Sharing the awkward moment on TV show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, Fisher said: “I remember one time I was at this fancy Hollywood party, the Vanity Fair. And I was there, excited, all dressed up, at the bar and schmoosing with showbiz types. “And the crowds parted and there was Lady Gaga and she’s heading right towards me. And she says, ‘Thank you, your per-formance in ‘American Hustle’, Amy, was amazing.’”
Cult’s mass shooting scene editedIANS
A mass shooting scene in “American Horror Story: Cult” was edited after Las Vegas
tragedy, says the show’s producer Ryan Murphy.
During the New Yorker Fest panel, he confirmed that a scene containing a deadly mass shooting on this Tuesday’s episode of “Amer-ican Horror Story: Cult” has been edited to be less graphic, reports eonline.com.
The decision was made follow-ing last week’s deadly Las Vegas shooting in which at least 59 peo-ple were killed and over 500 more were injured.
The scene in Murphy’s horror anthology was filmed prior to the Las Vegas shooting and has been edited.
“I just made the decision that I’m going to have all of that violence be shown for the most part off cam-era,” Murphy revealed at the festival.
The producer admitted that he was unsure of how to handle the
“locked” episode in the wake of the tragedy.
“Should you air it? Should you not air it? How do you be sensitive? My point of view was I believe I have the right to air it, but I also believe in victims’ rights, and I believe that now is probably not the week to have something explo-sive or incendiary in the culture because someone who was affected might watch that and it could trig-ger something or make them feel
upset. “So our decision was to re-edit
it and I felt that that was the right move,” he explained.
He also said: “Nobody ever talks about victims’ rights. That’s sort of a weird emotional discus-sion that’s never bridged… But I felt great sympathy for people who were affected, certainly, and fam-ily members and loved ones and people who are upset about the way the world is.”
The Washington Post
“Saturday Night Live” didn’t begin how it normally does - with jokes at the president’s expense - but rather with
an emotional tribute to those affected by the Las Vegas shooting massacre.
Country singer Jason Aldean delivered a brief monologue on the “SNL” main stage, say-ing “I’m struggling to understand what happened that night” and “so many people are hurting.” He then performed a rendition of the Tom Petty’s song “I Won’t Back Down,” who died on Monday.
It has been less than a week since 64-year-old Stephen Paddock fired upon the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, sev-eral songs into Aldean’s closing set. Authorities said Paddock killed at least 59 people and left more than 500 injured, making the rampage
the deadliest mass shooting in modern Amer-ican history.
This is how the Aldean began “SNL”: “I’m Jason Aldean. This week, we witnessed one of the worst tragedies in American history. Like everyone, I’m struggling to understand what happened that night and how to pick up the pieces and start to heal. So many people are hurting. There are children, parents, brothers, sisters, friends - they’re all part of our family. So I want to say to them: We hurt for you and we hurt with you. But you can be sure we’re going to walk through these tough times together, every step of the way, because when America is at it’s best, our bond and our spirit, it’s unbreakable.”
Following the shooting, several in the coun-try music community publicly mourned, including Aldean, who posted a message on social media calling Americans to “come
together and stop the hate.” He also canceled several tour dates.
The shooting renewed the debate over gun control, and one musician - lead guitarist of the Josh Abbott Band, Caleb Keeter - publicly reversed his position on the issue and called for greater gun control. His declaration was a rarity for country music, where it’s rare to make any remotely political statements.

In what reminds us about the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 debacle last year, there have been at
least half a dozen cases where bat-teries of newly-launched Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are swelling and phones are being left split-apart.
The first case was reported in Taiwan where a woman found her iPhone 8 swollen apart after plug-ging it in to charge.
The woman had purchased a 64GB “Rose Gold” iPhone 8 Plus and she put it on charge, using the supplied cable and adaptor.
“After about three minutes, she reported seeing the front panel bulge, and eventually lift com-pletely from the device”, media reports said.
“Someone in Japan then posted photos of a split-apart phone on Twitter. And in the days since, there’ve been cases in China, Can-ada, and Greece,” The Verge reported on Saturday.
CNET also found at least six dif-ferent reports in at least five countries of the iPhone 8 splitting along.
Apple has issued a statement and said: “We are aware and look-ing into it.”
So far, there have not been any fires but new iPhones are splitting along, exposing the smartphone’s internals.
“[Swelling is] very unusual for a brand-new battery and leads toward the direction of there’s something fundamentally wrong with this battery,” Sam Jaffe,
Managing Director of Cairn Energy Research Advisors, told The Verge.
But it could be a few units, say reports, and Apple must be praying not a full batch is affected, that
means recalling units, ruining the whole reputation build around iPhones for years.
iPhone 8 and 8 Plus went on sale on September 22. Apple was yet to release figures for the early sales of iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.
The pre-orders for “super-pre-mium” iPhone X will begin on October 27, with shipping starting November 3.
Last year, the batteries of the Rs 59,900 Galaxy Note 7 started exploding. Samsung counted sev-eral such incidents across the globe (over 90 Galaxy Note 7 smart-phones owners in the US reported overheating).
Amid conspiracy theories, a glo-bal recall of 2.5 million devices was announced quickly and faster replacements were guaranteed.
The fiasco over Samsung’s flag-ship smartphone caused the firm operating losses of some $5bn.

When black rats invaded Lord Howe Island after the 1918 wreck of the
steamship Makambo, they wiped out numerous native species on the small Australian isle in the Tasman Sea including a big, flight-less insect that resembled a stick.
But the Lord Howe Island stick insect, once declared extinct, still lives. Scientists said that DNA analysis of museum specimens of the bug and a similar-looking one from an inhospitable volcanic out-crop called Ball’s Pyramid 23km away confirmed they are the same species. The finding could help pave the way for its reintroduc-tion in the coming years.
“The Lord Howe Island stick insect has become emblematic of the fragility of island ecosystems. Unlike most stories involving extinction, this one gives us a unique second chance,” said evo-lutionary biologist Alexander Mikheyev of the Okinawa Insti-tute of Science and Technology
Graduate University in Japan.The glossy-black insect that
grow up to 15cm in length is nick-named the “land lobster.”
As adults, the wingless Lord Howe Island stick insects shelter in trees during daytime and come out at night to eat shrubbery. The bright-green babies are active during daytime.
By about 1930, they had
vanished on Lord Howe Island, which was thought to be their only home. There were no land-dwell-ing mammals there when the rats arrived, and they also vanquished five bird species and 12 other insect species.
A rock-climbing ranger made a curious discovery in 2001 on Ball’s Pyramid: a similar-looking insect. Since then, captive breed-ing programmes have begun at the Melbourne Zoo and elsewhere.
Because of certain differences between the Ball’s Pyramid insects and the Lord Howe Island insect museum specimens, there was some question about whether they were the same species.
“We found what everyone hoped to find, that despite some sig-nificant morphological differences, these are indeed the same species,” said Mikheyev, who led the research.
Officials are planning a pro-gramme to eradicate the invasive rats on Lord Howe Island, which could allow the stick insects to return.
