BARBIE WORLD
By: Abigail Barbasa
READ. SEPTEMBER 06 - SEPTEMBER 12, 2015
Monique Lhuillier , 2006
B
arbie! Did your childhood
years flash back when
you read that? Well I know
mine did when I heard
that Mall of the Emirates teamed
up with Barbie in celebration
of the establishment’s 10th
anniversary!
Decked out in designer clothing
and adorned with matching
jewelleries and accessories, the
world’s most iconic doll takes
the spotlight at the first ever
haute couture Barbie® Collector
exhibition in the region. Of course
I just had to see it for myself
and you can too until the 8th of
September!
The collection features 24
limited-edition Barbie® dolls each
in stunning hand-crafted designer
outfits inspired by signature looks
from iconic catwalk shows over the
past 50 years.
I managed to chat with Barbie
spokesperson Jagoda Rozkrut about
the iconic dolls and here’s what she
has to say about them. But before
that, I’m going to tell you now; these
beautiful babies are unfortunately
not for sale. According to her, “These
are collector dolls from private
collections which were introduced to
the market through collaborations.
These are official collaborations
between Barbie and fashion
designers. They were produced in
very limited number of pieces and
they’ve been collected through many
years.” These dolls were produced in
less than 900 pieces each worldwide,
although it also depends on the
doll of course, as some of it were
produced in quantities much less
than that.
Following the success of their
previous movie nights, Shukran
Workers announces another series
in Dubai.
Prakarti Lakhwani, co-founder of
Shukran Workers says that, “A movie
is a form of entertainment and it is
this simple pleasure that we want
to recreate for them, giving every
member of our society a chance to
give back.”
“Shukran Workers is our brain
child, which we created with the
sole purpose to give back to the
community in the most fun &
simple ways,” adds Mohit Bhojwani,
co-founder of Shukran Workers.
The voluntary group currently runs
events for construction workers &
domestic workers every season.
As part of the movie night series
Shukran Workers have organized
a movie night last August 28th and
September 4th and they have one
more left for in this series, which will
take place on the 11th. Each session
showcases movies of different
languages (Hindi and English). The
event which was first created in April
2015 was able to attract a full house,
revealing the need to continue to
arrange regular events and to reach
out to all communities of workers
in Dubai. Shukran Workers also
announced their plans to organize
various events designed to bring
a smile to the faces of the workers
and encourage the community to
participate.
The movie night taking place
on the 11thof September is for
the Domestic Workers, and will be
taking place at the Holiday Inn Bur
Dubai, which will cater specifically
for the female workers, where they
will be provided with free dinner
and a goodie bag, all thanks to the
generous sponsors of the event.
You can register yourself or your
domestic helper for free, by calling
050 135 1256 or visiting their
Facebook page www.facebook.com/
Shukranworkers
The collection was a bit diverse so
I had to ask her about the selection
process, she said “First we looked
into which dolls were available for
us and from there we chose the dolls
which reflect the designers which are
housed here in Mall of the Emirates.
We really wanted it to be in tie up
with the mall.”
The belle of the ball would be
Barbie in renowned Middle Eastern
designer Zuhair Murad’s black and
nude piece undoubtedly. But the
collection also features outfits from
other notable fashion houses such as
Hervé Léger, Christian Dior, Oscar de
la Renta, Monique Lhuillier, Versace
and Christian Louboutin. I personally
had my dibs on Barbie in Kate Spade
ensemble because it came with a
puppy!
Our little chat concluded on a
note that as she puts it, “We need to
remember that Barbie is so important
for girls because it gives the girls the
opportunity to be anything they want
through role play. There is a lot of
going on for Barbie and a lot more is
going to happen in the future. This
year we introduced to the market a
collection of diverse Fashionista dolls
which express the world girls sees
around them and the changing
cultural landscape. The dolls have
a various variety of skin tones,
colour of the eyes, hairstyles and
outfits so girls can really express
themselves through fashion.”
Since her original introduction
in 1959, Barbie has evolved to
represent more than 40 different
nationalities with various eye
and hair colours and skin tones.
Changing the way we usually
perceive the iconic fashion doll as
a fair skinned blonde or brunette.
For those like me who grew
up with a Barbie in hand, it’s
a perfect chance to reminisce
those childhood times. The little
ones on the other hand, can
experience the glamorous world
of the modern-day rock star with
Barbie® Rock’n Royals from the
9th of September until the 14th.
Young girls can get all glammed
up and sparkly with nail art and
temporary motif tattoos at the
Barbie Hand Spa. They can also
pretend to be a pop star for a day
with their group of friends getting
ready for a stage show.

want to, without it being too soggy
or salty. We also tried their Smoked
salmon bagel with cream cheese,
which if you’re not a big eater, is
good enough for two persons. It was
crunchy, yet soft and the contrast
of the flavours was just flawless. We
were advised to try their granola and
French toast, which were a perfect
match, the granola itself were
marinated in honey, which makes
it perfect and sweet within itself, I
preferred it with a scoop of yogurt.
The French toast was just right,
with its crunchy exterior and soft
caramelized bread.
This place is definitely a great
place to hang out, relax and enjoy
some quality time with your loved
ones. It’s also a great way to make
the most out of your day, as you can
head over to Dubai Mall after your
meal.

W
eekends are always
something we look
forward to; it’s the
days we get to relax,
sleep in and lounge around the
house all day. It’s also the days we
get to bond more with the people
we love, whether it’s our parents,
friends, or loved ones; it’s the perfect
opportunity to unwind after a
stressful week at work, and to catch
up on stories or gossip. One way
to do this, is to have a nice Friday
breakfast or brunch, and what better
way to ensure that it’s stress free,
than to pick the perfect place.
The things to look out for are
a perfect ambience, good food
and of course a great location for
‘Instagram worthy’ images, after all
a good picture is the right way to
capture a moment. It’s also a great
way to share that delicious food
you’ll be feasting on. We’ve got the
perfect spot for you, as La Serre
Bistro and Boulangerie cover all of
that, and more!
Stepping into the Parisian-style
cafe, it’s as if we stepped out of
Dubai, with its white walls, marbled
countertops and rustic tables
and chairs and with fresh pastries
displayed casually, we knew the
moment we stepped in that we were
going to have a relaxing breakfast. It
also helps that they have one side of
glassed wall, which really brightens
up the place, bringing in a lot of
natural light. Their breakfast menu
isn’t overwhelming; they have just
the right amount of dishes to choose
from, so that you won’t have to
fidget over the dishes.
A Parisian breakfast isn’t complete
without Eggs Benedict, which is one
of the dishes we ordered, it was soft
and cooked just the way you would

IT’S BACK TO SCHOOL

READ. SEPTEMBER 06 - SEPTEMBER 12, 2015
he school season has begun
and it’s another year to
accomplish.. Some of you
may have mixed emotions
and others are pretty excited for it.
Either way, the beginning of another
journey and of course your next few
years in the academe should never
be boring. You mommies out there
may be trying to figure out how to
make the start of the school week a
fun one for your little ones, and the
student readers out there, you’re
probably excited to finally showcase
your newest and coolest set of
stationaries to your classmates.
That’s how it usually goes when
you’re back in class, let’s not deny
that. So here are some fun and
quirky DIY back to school ideas! It’s
time to get crafty and funky!
HERE ARE TWO CRAFTY IDEAS
THAT WILL KEEP YOU INSPIRED
THROUGHOUT YOUR SCHOOL YEAR!
1. CUSTOMISED NOTEBOOKS AND
PENS/PENCILS WITH WASHI TAPE!
There are a gazillion things you can
do with a washi tape. We could list
them down for you, but it will be
endless so let’s cut it into the easiest
way to use your washi tape.
WASHI TAPE
PENCILS
Simply wrap
around those
tapes around your
pencils and you
have something as
good as new!
WASHI TAPE
NOTEBOOKS
Simply choose your
desired washi tape
design and stick
them on the cover
of your notebook
in your desired
manner. Easy as
ABC and also, mess
free! Bid farewell to
your old and boring
notebooks and say
hello to your fun
and quirky new ones
made by of course,
yourself!
2. YOUR VERY OWN GOAL LIST
BOARD
It’s important to keep the fuel of
enthusiasm once you get back to
school. And what better way to do
that than to create your own board
with a list of weekly goals. This way,
you’ll always be focused and seeing
that you’ve marked off everything
on your list for the week is always a
great feeling! All you need are sticky
notes and cardboards and a dash of
your creativity to create your very
own designed goal board.
BACK TO SCHOOL
PREPARATIOONS
FOR MOMMIES
By www.dudemom.com
1. Get up early. I know, this
one is gonna be a beast for
everyone, but if you want
to make sure your kids are
on time and in gear, you
have to make sure you have
enough time to wash the
ick out of your mouth and
slam enough tumblers of
coffee to ensure your own
coherence. Get up and
handle that before it’s time
for them to join you and you
will probably be a happier
more patient person. Your
kids may even grace you
with a smile or two before
school!
2. Prep ahead. Lay out
the clothing and pack the
backpacks the night before.
Make lunch ahead if you’re
cool with soggy bread life.
Get everything that can be
preemptively organized, so
there are fewer possibilities
of forgetting something
important on the day.
3. Have a real talk about
the first day. This is a
particularly important
tip if you are the mom to
a worrier like I am. Get
to bed early, cuddle up,
even if they work your ears
off with their questions,
answer everything you can
truthfully and make up the
rest. I am sort of awesome at
storytelling so it works.
4. Give yourself some extra
time. By mid September
we will be squeaking out all
of the moments we can in
the bed before school, but
for the first week ,we like to
make sure we have ample
time to make getting ready
seem like less of a chore. I
wake them up 15 minutes
earlier than necessary so
they have some time on the
backend to lounge around
and get their minds right
for the big day. They might
even get crazy and brush
their hair pretty if we move
expeditiously enough.
5. Promise not to cry. It
is a promise you may very
well break, and that’s cool,
but if you tell yourself you
won’t do it, there is an ever
so slightly greater chance
that you won’t be all snotty
nosed and puffy eyed when
you meander to the bus stop
or pull through the drop off
line.
HOW TO COPE UP WITH
BACK TO SCHOOL ANXIETY
HERE ARE A FEW TIPS ON HOW TO
DEAL WITH BACK TO SCHOOL ANXIETY
WITH YOUR KIDS.
1. ALWAYS LOOK OUT ON YOUR
KIDS. Make sure your child is getting
enough sleep, eating healthy,
exercising and having fun. When kids
are properly nourished, they can feel
less anxious and can tackle on school
worries easier.
W
hile many are excited to
go back to school and see
their friends again, there
are also a lot of students
who suffer anxiety. Anxious feelings
are normal especially during the times
of transition or change. Although
they may be normal, this should not
be taken lightly. It’s very important
to watch out for your kids especially
teens if they are going through this
type of trouble as these feelings can be
disruptive not only for the child, but for
the family too. Children worry about a
lot of things when going back to school
such as “what if my teachers don’t like
me?”, “will I fit in?” or “what if I don’t
make any friends?”
2. EMPATHISE. It’s very important to
always listen to what your child is
saying. What may sound silly to you,
may sound serious to them. Let them
talk about their fears and worries
without any judgement. Most of the
time, kids only want someone who
will listen to them and not lecture
them.
3. FOCUS ON THE SOLUTION. By
this time, you already know what’s
bothering your child you can start
developing a coping plan. Look at
the problem and focus on how you’re
going to solve it and then execute
the solution. Anxious youth are often
poor problem solvers and they doubt
their ability to cope so it’s important
to be there for them and guide them
by letting them know that there will
always be solutions to any kind of
problem.
4. BE POSITIVE. If you want to start
having a conversation with your kids,
begin by talking about a topic that
he/she likes. From here onwards, you
may be encouraging your child to
slowly open up to you without them
realizing it. Always shower them with
words on encouragement too and
redirect their worries to the positives.

ust as with physical
shopping, in online
shopping there are smarter
ways for consumers to get
their dose of retail therapy.
While this is an easy way to
be able to shop in comfort,
there are some risks involved,
but as long as you are taking
all of the proper precautions,
you shouldn’t have anything
to worry about. UAE based
e-commerce platform awok.
com has a few tips for online
shopping.
Ulugbek Yuldashev, Managing
Director of Awok.com has the
below guideline for online
shoppers in the UAE;
1. Bookmark reliable shopping
sites, as sometimes relying on
search engine results can lead
one to malicious websites.
2. Ignore suspicious offers
sent via email since they may
contain links or attachments
that lead to system infection.
3. Always verify unbelievable
offers which can lead to web
threats.
4. Double check payment URLs
that starts with https://
5. Sign up for the newsletter
because sometimes the best
deals are often found through
email.
6. Use social media for research
as it can play a pivotal role in
your hunt to discover awesome
deals and offers.
TIPS FOR SUMMER
HAIR CARE
Dr. Dimitrios Ziakas,
M.D., DHI clinic UAE
We have all experienced a bad hair day! Sun, heat,
and humidity, not to mention chlorine and salt
water — challenging all hair types, from curly to
wavy to straight, leaving some of us with unmanageable, dry and even damaged hair. While all of these
are reasons enough to lead to a bad hair day and
cause long-term damage, a little pre-emptive care is
all your hair needs to stay lush and beautiful! Here
are some tips to make sure you have luscious hair all
throughout summer.
DETOX Hair care starts with YOU. Maintain a wellbalanced diet in your daily routine. For example, a
high intake of dietary fat can increase oil on the skin
which can lead to greasy hair, so it’s best to avoid it.
Include as many fresh fruits and vegetables in your
diet as you can to maintain those lustrous locks.
GINGHAM
STYLE
10 ESSENTIAL
LOVE
15
We loved seeing this lovable plaid
pattern, also known as gingham,
grace the runways for this year’s
spring season. Nonetheless, it’s
still a fashion staple, even though
summer is about to end and fall
is nearing our midst. So without
further ado, let these stylish
bloggers show you exactly how you
can rock your own gingham OOTD.
USE A SHOWER FILTER Using a shower filter helps
remove any impurities in water which can directly
damage the hair follicle.
MINIMIZE STRESS OR DE-STRESS Stress is a key
factor that aids in hair loss. Whether or not hair loss
is genetic, stress can work as a trigger to speed up
the hair loss process.
GOOD HYGIENE By maintaining your hygiene,
your body is more prone to absorb Vitamin D levels
and promote healthy hair growth. This can be done
through having a healthy diet, exercise and shower
regularly.

DRINK ENOUGH FLUIDS While you may be doing
all of the above to protect your hair from the sun, if
you’re not drinking enough water, you’re not going
to achieve anything. Your hair, and your skin, will
benefit immensely from the amount of water you
drink so, keeping your hair healthy and leaving you
hydrated.
BRUSH YOUR HAIR Brush your hair regularly. This
will minimize tangles and prevent breakage (which
can lead to split ends) that can occur when you
brush your hair post-shower and can have a great
effect on your hair volume in the long run.
MINIMISE USE OF HAIR PRODUCTS Minimise the
use of hair products, such as gels, hairspray or any
other product that may have high sulphates. These
products directly cause dryness to the hair and
make it weak.
TAKE PRECAUTIONS Be aware of any balding or
thinning areas on your scalp. This can happen as
early as your 20s, so if you’re noticing this, make
an appointment and DHI can provide you with a
solution.
DO YOUR RESEARCH If you are looking into hair
restoration, know it’s a lifetime investment. Do your
research and consult your doctors at DHI before
making a decision.

It seems that the humidity is here
to stay, which means that it’s best
to forego heavy and thick makeup. Instead opt for a natural look,
focusing more on letting your skin
breathe, and making those eyes
and lips pop instead.

OPT FOR A WASH EVERY OTHER DAY Don’t wash
your hair as frequent during the harsh summer days.
Opt for a wash with only your conditioner, rather
than shampoo.
TRAVEL
Even in an island paradise, the
evidence that one is in an Islamic
country is all around you. We notice
the Maldiven women wearing
hijabs or niqabs (headscarves)
as a reflection of their faith and
dedication to modesty. Local men
also make efforts to dress with
modesty in mind as they walk
alongside each other in their long
white shirts, pants, and caps.
According to the constitution, it’s
impossible for a non-Muslim to be
considered a citizen of the Maldives.
Having traveled through Indonesia
and Malaysia earlier in the year, the
local dress wasn’t anything we took
notice of other than to sympathize
with those having to deal with the
equatorial sun in all that clothing.

MALDIVES: WHERE THE
OCEAN HAS NO MEMORY

he influence of Sunni
Islam in the Maldives is
evident before our plane
even touches down on
the tarmac at Male’s Ibrahim Nasir
International Airport. The Cathay
Pacific flight attendants hands us
custom forms where we read the
rules against entering the country
with pornography, alcohol, firearms,
and pork products.
After disembarking and finding
the driver for the transit hotel, we
make our way to the counter for the
Conrad Maldives to confirm our
travel to the resort the following
morning by seaplane. Due to our
late flight from Hong Kong, we
prearranged to stay at what’s known
as a ‘transit’ hotel outside the capital
of Male. A great number of visitors
make use of the transit hotels for
a night before heading to their
intended resort destination.
The vast majority of the 8 million
annual foreign visitors never make
it beyond the airport or the transit
hotels to the many islands scattered
throughout the Indian Ocean. In
total, about 1900 or more coral
islands compose the island nation of
the Maldives. The local population’s
ethnic identity originates either from
Southern India or Sri Lanka and
represents a long history of maritime
history and culture.
With a history of inhabitation
stretching back thousands of years,
this island destination has been
known to a great many travelers who
brought with them their commerce
and new ideas of thought and religion
in exchange for cowry shells(1). For
a long period of time, the Maldives
was a Buddhist stronghold before the
introduction of Sunni Islam in the
12th century by Arab traders.
CONRAD MALDIVES
RESORT
One of the highlights at the Conrad is snorkeling with the marine
life around the coral reefs on the
far side of the main island. While
swimming over the reefs you feel
this great sense of discovery at the
world opening up beneath the
waves. The deafening sound of coral
being eaten, with a snap and pop by
schools of fish with such exquisite
composites of color only a painter or
poet could dream of, that permeates
the silence of the sea.
There are moments where you
feel entirely helpless as the ocean’s
current slowly pulls you out by the
force of an invisible hand beneath
the waves. Each entry into the beguiling surf stiffens our confidence
as we begin to swim farther afield
from the safe, white sand beaches to
the edge of the abyss where the coral
drops into the dark deep.
It’s in these quiet and dense parts
of the ocean, where even a few lone
rays of the sun are seldom permitted, where we make a tacit bargain
with the sea to witness its fragile
beauty. Across the sharpened edges
of orange, white, and brown coral
we find ourselves swimming amidst
a school of sapphire colored fish,
catching sight of a solemn puffer
fish or finding ourselves facing the
benign grace of a shy reef shark the
majestic nature of it all never stops;
even after leaving the water.

WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS
YEAR’S GAMES CONVENTION?
WHAT DID YOU STRIVE FOR
TO MAKE IT DIFFERENT FROM
PREVIOUS ONES?
We’ve tried to broaden the appeal of
the event to both hardcore gamers
and the more casual ones who are
just looking for a fun weekend out
with the family. We have also teamed
up with the largest eSports events
company in the world, ESL to create
a pro-gaming tournament with cash
prize fund of USD 250,000! For the
first time, fans will have the chance
to watch and meet eight of the top
teams in the world compete for
victory and glory. We’ve got lots of
other activities as well, with table top
gaming, regional games developers,
performers, celebrity guests and so
much more – Games 15 is shaping
up to be the biggest and best gaming
event we’ve seen to date!

This event is a haven for all gamers,

to develop the Games Middle East

the region, incorporating the best
elements of the biggest international
events, while adding our special vibe
that gives attendees the opportunity
to have a great weekend out.

What a lot of people don’t realise
is that we are all gamers now in
some form or the other (everyone
probably plays a game at least on
their smart device) Games, like
other entertainment mediums, are
becoming a platform to express
views and make statements, move
you emotionally and much more.

HEALTH
ARE YOU
DEHYDRATED?
20
Just because you aren’t feeling
thirsty, doesn’t mean that your body
doesn’t need or want water, one of
the quickest ways to tell if you are
indeed dehydrated is by monitoring
your fluid loss by checking the
colour of your urine. It should be
pale yellow and not dark yellow, too
smelly or cloudy. Below is a simple
chart guide or urine colours and
what they may indicate.
TRANSPARENT
SLEEPING DILEMMAS
I
f you’re having trouble
sleeping, don’t worry,
because you’re not alone.
According to statistics, 22%
of people sleep poorly at night,
47% of people say stress or worry
is what keeps them awake at
night and none too surprisingly,
49% of people have never
taken steps to help them sleep
better. It’s an old wives tale that
counting sheep and listening
to lullabies will send you off to
dreamland, but then again, if it
does work, it can only get you
so far. Here are some common
bedtime mistakes you might not
even be aware you’re doing, and
how to avoid them.
READ. SEPTEMBER 06 - SEPTEMBER 12, 2015
CAFFEINATED
MIDNIGHT SNACKING
Caffeine is a stimulant and
in moderate doses, can block
sleep neurotransmitters causing
insomnia. Refined sugars can
stress the organs in charge of
hormone regulation – causing
you to wake in the night as your
levels fluctuate.
Solution: Snack on foods that
contain tryptophan. This amino
acid is needed by the body to
produce serotonin, which in turn
makes melatonin – a hormone
that helps control your sleep
cycles. Foods that are high in
tryptophan include yogurt,
milk, banana, eggs and turkey.
SLEEP DEBT
There’s a common misconception about sleep debt: you
accumulate lost hours of sleep
that you can pay back later on,
and your body will be fine.
Solution: Sleep debt isn’t a
straight balance. Most people
only usually need two or three
good night’s sleep, to get back
to normal after a serious sleep
deprivation.
SLEEPING WITH
PETS
According to research, 63% of
pet owners who share their bed
or bedroom with their pets,
experience poor sleep quality.
Solution: Keep your pets in a
different room. If they’re exceptionally noisy, consult your vet
to rule out any medical problems – they might be making
sleep mistakes themselves!
HITTING THE
SNOOZE BUTTON
Any extra sleep you get is fragmented, making it low quality.
OVERNIGHT BREAKFAST
Ingredients:
1 cup / 125 g fresh or thawed frozen raspberries
1 pinch ground vanilla
3 tbsp desiccated coconut, unsweetened
3 tbsp chia seeds
1 cup / 240 ml plant milk (we prefer almond,
coconut or oat milk)
Toppings:
Nut butter, Hemp seeds, Kiwi, Fresh mint
You also prepare the body for a
new sleep cycle that you won’t
have time to finish, resulting in
fatigue throughout the day.
Solution: Set your alarm for
when you actually need to get
up. Try to set it for the same
time every day, this regularity
will hopefully mean you should
wake up without the need for an
alarm.
TECH BED
78% of people use a smartphone,
tablet or laptop before going to
bed. However, these gadgets emit
blue light, which is said to delay
the production of melatonin, the
sleep-inducing hormone.
Solution: Give yourself a tech
curfew and move your electronic
devices out of the bedroom
altogether.
LEAVING THE T.V. ON
38% of people watch TV to wind
down for sleep. However, watching T.V. before bedtime encourages you to stay up later, harming the sleep cycle and leading to
poor quality sleep.
Solution: Keep T.V.’s out of the
bedroom. Alternatively, listen
to the radio to help yourself fall
asleep.
Instructions:
Mash the berries in a bowl using a fork. Add vanilla, coconut
and chia seeds and combine.
Pour over the milk and mix.
Set aside to soak for minimum
30 minutes or overnight in the
fridge. Serve in a bowl or jar
topped with nut butter, hemp
seeds, fruit and mint.
You’re drinking a lot of
water, you may want to
cut back.
PALE STRAW COLOUR
You’re normal, healthy
and dehydrated.
TRANSPARENT YELLOW
You’re normal.
DARK YELLOW
Normal, but drink some
water soon.
AMBER OR HONEY
Your body isn’t getting
enough water. Drink
some now.
SYRUP OR BROWN ALE
You could have liver
disease or severe
dehydration. Drink water
and see your doctor if it
persists.
PINK TO REDDISH
Recently been eating
blueberries rhubarb or
beets? If not, contact your
doctor it might be some
urinary tract infection or
prostate problem.
ORANGE
You may not be drinking
enough water or you
could have a liver or
bile duct condition, or
it could be food dye.
Contact your doctor.
PURPLE
There’s no such thing as
purple urine.
Note: If you are taking medications, it may
make your urine darker than normal. It is
best you see your doctor or ask him about
this when taking in any new medications.
CAREERS
don’t try to mask it with a fake
sense of confidence. This kind of
knowledge breeds self-awareness,
a main factor of emotional
intelligence and an important trait
that most employers look for.

BEING A KNOW-IT-ALL
Many candidates believe that
they need to have the answers to
almost every question. The reality
is different though. Your ability to
say “I don’t know” to a question can
be appealing to many employers. It
shows that you are genuine and that
you don’t try to pretend that you
know everything. Employers want to
hire independent and self-sufficient
people who can go the extra mile to
find solutions. Acting like a knowit-all can hinder your chances of
finding a good job.
YOU HAVE A BAD
ONLINE REPUTATION
J
ob searches are all about
positioning yourself as the top
candidate. We all know the
common mistakes that we should
avoid when applying to jobs.
Whether it’s a badly formatted CV,
arriving late for the interview or bad
mouthing previous employers, these
are some of the bad moves that
can stand in your way of landing
the job. However, there are a lot
of other things that you may not
have considered but can be equally
damaging to your image. Akhtaboot
is here to highlight the top 5 job
seeker behaviors that might be
turning off employers!
YOU’RE NOT LIKABLE
Personal characteristics are usually
not part of the job description. But
when it comes down to choosing the
ideal candidate, the deciding factor
may actually be “likability”. No one
wants to work with an arrogant,
negative, troublemaker who
won’t be able to get along with his
colleagues. So if you fail to highlight
your ability to get along with your
team, don’t expect a call back.
employer; do you want to hire the
person with the amazing track
record, a great personality and
the potential to grow within the
company? Or do you want to hire
the angry, frustrated candidate
whose primary concern is to simply
get paid? Eagerness to learn and
grow impresses an employer;
desperation is a major turnoff.
SOUNDING TOO
DESPERATE
NEVER ADMITTING
WEAKNESSES
Job search is a long, demanding
process that is filled with
disappointments. Even if you’ve
been looking for a job for several
months with no success, you
shouldn’t let your frustration show
during interviews. Think like an

WAYS
TO
TURNOFF EMPLOYERS
Like it or not, building a great
personal brand online can have a
major impact on the success of your
job search efforts. Buts social media
can be your best friend and your
worst enemy. Many employers these
days research candidates on social
media and networking websites
hoping to learn more about how
candidates behave online. Your
personal brand is reflected in any
posts you’ve written, your pictures
and comments. Employers prefer
candidates who have consistent
online and offline images.

CHOOSING YOUR TABLET
We often find Tablets out there in the stores which are not Apple or Samsung, where some people
probably don’t pay any attention to. However they can be the tablet you are actually looking for. On the
heels of announcing its new high-end ARCHOS Diamond S smartphone, the French brand ARCHOS is
pleased to announce the ARCHOS Diamond Tab, its first Octa-Core 4G/LTE tablet and its first tablet in
the Diamond line. The ARCHOS Diamond Tab is truly a flagship product of the ARCHOS brand. Impressively, it features 4G/LTE connectivity and dual Band Wi-Fi, putting it in a superior league of tablets.
Connectivity shouldn’t be sacrificed on a larger device, and customers will enjoy the absolute best
cellular and Wi-Fi data speeds available on the market today. This device also features 3GB of RAM and
32GB of storage for apps, games, movies, and more. The ARCHOS Diamond Tab boasts a 7.9” IPS screen

PERFECT SOUNDS FROM SAMSUNG
Samsung Electronics announced three additions to its Wireless Audio 360
speaker range – the R5, R3 and R1 models which will be displayed at IFA
2015. The omni-directional speakers feature a new built-in tap-and-swipe
user interface and an improved Multiroom app for customers’ smartphones,
tablets and smartwatches. The R5, R3 and R1 models follow the widely
praised R7 and R6 speakers in Samsung’s Wireless Audio 360 line-up, and

THE IRON GIANT,
HINTS AT SEQUEL
LISTINGS
MIRDIF CITY CENTRE
Vin Diesel thinks there will be a sequel The Iron
Giant. The actor used his Facebook page to
promote The Iron Giant: Signature Edition, which
is a Blu-ray release of the 1999 movie. The Signature
Edition trailer was captioned with the revelation
that the titular Iron Giant is one of Diesel’s
favourite characters. “I have been very lucky to
have played so many interesting characters... one
of the first and one of my favourites is... the Iron
Giant.” Diesel teased The Iron Giant sequel in a
postscript for the caption. “Don’t be surprised
when you hear [Warner Bros.] announce the
sequel.” It’s difficult to tell whether Diesel is joking,
hoping, or actually announcing something. He has
used his Facebook page in the past to announce a
sequel to Riddick, but even if there isn’t a sequel to
The Iron Giant, he still has similarly succinct voice
work as Groot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
BILL MURRAY ON
GHOSTBUSTERS
REBOOT APPEARANCE
Vulture spoke to Murray this
weekend and asked him what
changed his mind after all these
years. “I thought about it for a very
long time,” Murray said. “Like, many,
many months. No, that’s not right. I
was seriously thinking about this for
years, really … It kept eating at me,
and I really respect those girls, and
then I started to feel like if I didn’t do
this movie, maybe somebody would
write a bad review or something,
thinking there was some sort of
disapproval [on my part].” Murray
also acknowledged that for decades
he wasn’t interested in returning
to the world of the Ghostbusters.
“That’s true, I wasn’t,” Murray said,
while pointing to talent like Wiig
and McCarthy as one of the reasons
that he changed his mind. “I like
those girls a lot,” he said. “I mean, I
really do. They are tough to say no
to, and Paul is a real nice fellow.”
Ghostbusters will be released on July
15, 2016.
Andrew Garfield, who played
Spider-Man for two films, says
he was pushing for the character
to go under the Marvel umbrella
long before the deal was struck.
The actor told Uproxx that he’s
excited to see the Marvel take
on Spider-Man, now that Sony
and Marvel Studios have struck
a deal to cross their universes.
“I’ve been petitioning to hook
up with Marvel since the
beginning, so I’m really glad
they’re finally doing it,” he said.
He also maintained that he was
never in talks to continue as the
character, but declined to say
more. If the Amazing SpiderMan franchise had continued,
Garfield said it would’ve gone
to “some pretty heavy places”
following the dire events of the
second movie, but he seems at
ease with his
part as the
character
ending.
“It wasn’t
meant to
be,” he
said. “As
I say, I’m
just really
excited
that I
get to
watch.”

The Hunger Games’ Jennifer
Lawrence and Trainwreck’s Amy
Schumer, are teaming up for a new
comedy which they are writing
together and plan on starring in.
According to The New York Times,
the two stars are currently writing
the film. “We play sisters,” said
Lawrence, who’s in the midst of
promoting The Hunger Games:
Mockingjay, Part 2. “We’re almost
done writing,” she said. “It just
flowed out of us. We’ve got about 100
pages right now.” Lawrence added
that they’re working with Schumer’s
sister Kim, who helped out with
the scripting of Trainwreck, and
the Mystique actress seems
particularly excited about the
comedy project. “Amy and I were
creatively made for each other,”
Lawrence said. “We have different
flavours. It’s been the most fun
experience of my life.” As for how
the two even teamed up in the first
place, it seems Lawrence e-mailed
Schumer after seeing Trainwreck.
“We started emailing, and then
emailing turned to texting,” said the
actress.

ENHANCING THE Q3
T
he Audi Q3, the youngest
member of the successful
SUV family from Audi, is
a practical companion for
everyday – an urban model that
feels at home anywhere. Its versatile
character makes it attractive to
a wide range of customers. The
redesigned Audi Q3 has now arrived
in the Middle East market. Since
V
olkswagen Middle East
welcomes a new addition
to the Volkswagen R family
this month, with the arrival
of the sporty Beetle R-Line. The new
model joins the Volkswagen Middle
East sporty Volkswagen R model
line-up, which currently includes
the iconic Golf R, the Scirocco R, and
its market introduction in early
2012, the Q3 model series has
been a successful model for the
Audi brand. Over 1,920 models
have been sold in the region since
introduction. Audi is constantly
improving good and successful
models, therefore the new Audi Q3
model not only features a refreshed
design, it also boasts a number of
technical innovations. The premium
character of the redesigned Audi Q3
is apparent at first glance. The Audi
designers have honed the details
of the coupe like lines with the
characteristic wrap-around tailgate.
Dominating horizontal lines up
front and in the rear underscore the
width and give the Q3 an expressive
design.
the Touareg, Tiguan and CC R-Line
models, developed by Volkswagen
R GmbH, a division of Volkswagen
responsible for developing sporttuned models with bold detailing
that are aggressive by design. The
Beetle R-Line exhibits the sporty
Volkswagen R GmbH racing heritage,
the bumper features added air
intakes front and centre to feed
more air to the turbocharged 210
HP 2.0-litre engine. The rear of the
car presents a lower diffuser and a
large spoiler in addition to R-Line
door entry sills. Tying together the
powerful look of the R-Line model are
the 20-inch “Monterey” alloy wheels,
tucked under the muscular fenders.

H
yundai Motor
Company has
officially launched
the All-New Tucson
compact SUV in Africa and
the Middle East. Offering
a bold and athletic design,
new technological features
and class-leading driving
performance, the new model
has been designed to set new
standards for its sector and
provide an enticing alternative
that ticks all the boxes for
young families looking for
a highly versatile car. Prices
for the All-New Tucson will
start from AED72,000 in the
UAE market, with the model
available in GL or GLS trim
levels and with a variety of
specifications. By combining
competitive pricing with a
model that embodies the
Hyundai Motor Company’s
modern premium brand
direction, the third generation
All-New Tucson is perfectly
placed to build on the
popularity of its predecessor,
which was the company’s
third biggest-selling model
across the region and the
volume leader in the compact
SUV segment in 2014. The
equally stylish and refined
interior benefits from the
careful attention paid by
designers to the ergonomics
and use of high quality and
soft-touch materials along with
passenger power seats offering
unbeatable lumber support.
Additional cabin features
include a newly designed
dashboard featuring an 8”
display and extended super
vision cluster and new door
trims for a sportier feel.
SPIETH DROPS DOWN
ROSBERG

J
ordan Spieth missing
cut at The Barclays
means that he will lose
his world number one
ranking, making his first
stint as No 1 the shortest in
golfing history. The 22-yearold was making his first start
after climbing on top of Rory
McIlroy by being runner-up
at the PGA Championship
and would have retained
top spot with a tied-14th
finish or better at Plainfield,
but suffered an early exit
after an error-filled couple
of rounds. Spieth’s latest
missed cut was only his third
in 22 starts over the year of
2015, but it threw him down
back to world No 2 below the
Norther Irishman.

osh Strauss and John Hardie have
been named in the Scotland squad
for the upcoming World Cup.
However Back-row forwards John
Barclay and Blair Cowan will not make
the 31-man squad. Scotland are to open
their World Cup Pool B campaign against
Japan in Gloucester on 23 September.
They will then go against the United
States in Leeds before Vern Cotter’s side
take on South Africa and then Samoa
in Newcastle. “We’re very pleased to
name the 31 and we’re confident these
players will represent Scotland well in
the Rugby World Cup,” Cotter stated.
“It’s been a tough but rewarding two
months. We’re proud of the effort everyone has put in to this point.
anchester United
is blaming Real
Madrid for the
collapse of David
de Gea’s proposed move to
the Spanish club before the
transfer deadline. The Spaniard will now remain at Old
Trafford until the next transfer
season in January at least after
paperwork problems meant
his £29.5 transfer broke down
minutes before the deadline.
Madrid on the other hand,
stated their part of the story
pointing fingers at United
over delays firstly in opening
talks and then in processing
documents for Keylor Navas,
the Costa Rica ‘keeper United
demanded as part of the deal.
But the Red Devils insisted
that there were no talks on the
matter until Real submitted
a bid, something they say did
not happen until the same day
the transfer doors close.
NOT A BAD BOY
Nick Kyrgios insisted that his bad-boy reputation is ridiculous but admits
he has learned the merits of keeping his mouth shut. Kyrgios was defeated
by Andy Murray 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 in the US Open first round Last week to
end a chaotic month for the 20-year-old. The Australian made some vulgar
remarks about Stan Wawrinka’s girlfriend. However Kyrgios has expressed
regret for his exchange with Wawrinka but insisted he felt no embarrassment for what happened. “I’d like to think that I’m going to learn from it. I
think I have.” said Kyrgios. Andy Murray on the other hand, admitted that
he had to keep his focus during his four-set victory over Nick Kyrgios.

ico Rosberg has
claimed that he
can’t afford getting any position
other than the pole at Monza
as he seeks to overcome
a 28-point deficit in the
championship. Apparently,
the German had an edge
on his Mercedes teammate
Lewis Hamilton as they were
practicing at Spa a couple
of weeks ago, but when it
mattered in qualifying it was
the other Mercedes driver
who secured pole position.
Rosberg has only beaten
Hamilton once this year in
qualifying. “The race in Spa
was definitely disappointing. My start was not good
so I need to work on that
and also on finding those
extra tenths in qualifying to
get back on top there.” said
Rosberg.

Some days move
along lickety-split,
some days just don’t.
No need to read anything into it. It’s
the nature of space and time to be a
little erratic. And, sure enough, you’re
going to be running around like the
proverbial headless chicken.
You’re feeling so good
at the start of the week.
And you don’t know what to do with
yourself. The sun will be shining on
you. Butterflies are going to follow
you around. Birds will chirp in your
ears. This is the beginning of a long,
exciting week.
You thought this was
going to be smooth sailing. Turns out, the water is choppier
than you expected. Communicate
what you feel and need. There are
enough hands on deck to help you
get through and there are a lot of
good things on the horizon.
CANCER
LEO
VIRGO
You are charming in
any social situation,
but dinner parties are where you especially shine. Remember, though:
Sometimes saying very little is more
alluring. And this is just going to be
one of those weeks when you don’t
feel like saying a whole lot.
The system is big and
complicated, and
it’s important you don’t get stuck in
the middle. Make your intentions
known. This is your career you’re
talking about. You have more than a
small stake in it. And it’s not an act
of arrogance to assert yourself.
This week, you’re going
to be lost in philosophical ideas. It’s an unusual headspace
for you, and you may find yourself
eating in unusual places, too. Nevertheless, you’re going to get a lot
done. Even in your dreamiest state,
you’re remarkably productive.
LIBRA
SCORPIO
SAGITTARIUS
Just because the outward world is fine and
dandy doesn’t mean that the people
around you are fine and dandy.
Some of the people in your life are
going to be downright cranky. That’s
just about the last thing you need.
Be nice, but avoid them at all costs.
Whatever you’re feeling, try to be open to
this other person at the outset of the
week. This is not a business relationship, this is a personal relationship,
and there’s a huge difference, which
you’ll notice on Wednesday and
Thursday.
Feeling a tad overwhelmed? Make yourself
a to-do list and get cracking! Once
you start crossing things off your
list you’ll feel so much better. When
things have calmed down a bit, a
friend is going to invite you out for a
night on the town.

PISCES
Someone’s going to
cajole you into playing
a game you haven’t played since you
were a kid, and it’s going to be way
more fun than you remembered.It’s
going to be a blast, but you might
feel like two or three of your friends
are turning out to be a little flaky.
An old relative is going
to try to contact you,
probably via an unexpected phone
call. They’re just calling to say hi, but
in the course of the conversation
you’re going to learn something that
makes you think of them in a whole
new way.
An old love letter is going to come to mind,
and it’s going to start you pining for
a romance that ended quite a while
ago. Weird how the past continues
to live on in the present, isn’t it? And
isn’t it funny to think about all of the
things you used to be so sure of?
