AHEAD
TOWARDS
2011
the exciting possibilities that have emerged for
Qatar’s luxury property sector.
First of all, I would like to extend my best wishes
to all our clients and business partners as we
welcome a new year and a new decade.
The year 2011 indeed brings along fresh
opportunities to further reinforce the leadership
and sustain the success achieved by Alfardan
Properties in developing luxury properties in Qatar
over the past two decades. One of the greatest
highlights of this year that will surely create a
major impact on the luxury property sector for
years to come, has been Qatar’s triumphant bid to
host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Being the world’s
biggest and most watched sporting spectacle, the
World Cup will certainly put Qatar on the global
spotlight and open an unparalleled opportunity
to showcase the country as one of the world’s
most exciting destinations and a truly modern and
sophisticated society.
I am pleased to announce that Alfardan Properties
has accordingly prepared a road map leading up
to the global event in 2022. We have lined up
exciting projects and development concepts that
are designed to complement Qatar’s reputation
as a world-class host and venue for major global
events. This is indeed an opportunity of a lifetime
and you can trust that Alfardan Properties will
be there to help our clients take advantage of
In light of such exciting developments happening
in the country, I believe that this is also an
opportune time to reassure all our clients,
business partners and all the stakeholders of
Qatar’s property sector that Alfardan Properties
will remain fully committed to deliver the same
world-class properties and unparalleled services
in Qatar and in other regional markets that we
serve. Complementing our ability to deliver
innovative, groundbreaking development projects,
Alfardan Properties has also established a strong
reputation in terms of customer response and
satisfaction, which we consider as one of our main
assets and a key factor behind our company’s
great success throughout the years. For us at
Alfardan Properties, premium service is crucial in
creating a genuinely lasting legacy of excellence,
luxury and style in Qatar’s property market.
It is certainly an honour and a privilege to contribute
to Qatar’s consistent and extraordinary growth
into a premier business and lifestyle destination
in the Middle East. As we move forward into a
new decade and welcome fresh opportunities for
growth along the way, I would like to once again
reaffirm Alfardan Properties’ commitment to
deliver on our promise of maintaining excellence
in service and delivering luxurious properties
that are distinguished for their uniqueness and
individuality.

ARE YOU AN INTUITIVE LEADER?
I LOVE MY BREAKFAST!
Victory Assaf, Alfardan Towers Spa, Manager
THE IMPORTANCE OF
BREAKFAST
By Twiggy Sadek, Alfardan Group HR Department, Training Specialist
Jump
starting the day with breakfast benefits
everyone -- children, teens and adults. “Eating
breakfast is very important for the brain and the body
first thing in the morning”. “Breakfast skippers often
feel tired, restless or irritable in the morning.”
Breakfast is the first chance the body has to refuel
its glucose levels, also known as blood sugar, after
8 to 12 hours without a meal or snack. Glucose is
essential for the brain and is the main energy source.
Blood glucose also helps fuel the muscles needed
for physical activity throughout the day.
SIMPLE, EASY WAYS TO INCORPORATE
BREAKFAST IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE
Choosing my topic for this article, I got managers and leaders to
vote on some ideas. This one got 0 votes. This is when I realized
how understated intuition is in the mind of many leaders. This
is the reason why I chose to write about this elaborate subject.
Intuition. Defined as the ability to sense or know immediately
without reasoning. Yet, for many, a term mainly associated with
women, for others an abstract concept closer to spirituality,
but many haven’t been able to wrap their minds around this
concept.
But for the greatest leaders in history, intuition was what they
relied on during tough decision making.
Bill Gates says, “Often you have to rely
on intuition.”
“Listen to your intuition. It will tell you
everything you need to know.” ~ Anthony
J. D’Angelo
“The only real valuable thing is intuition.”
~ Albert Einstein.
• When there are insufficient data, or not enough time to gather
the data
• When there is too much information, or data are conflicting
• When data seem to support several options equally
• When a group’s vision has grown cloudy
That is when all logic and analysis are of little help, and that is
when the leader finds intuition of true value.
So the question remains, do you trust your intuition? Do you
listen to that gut feeling when making
decisions? Because we rely too much
Leadership depends on more
on logic, we push away any sporadic
than just the facts. Leaders see ideas that seem irrational to us.
trends, resources and problems,
and can read people
In Dr. John Maxwell’s 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, Dr.
Maxwell speaks about the Law of Intuition and states that
“leadership depends on more than just the facts. Leaders see
trends, resources and problems, and can read people. The law
of intuition is based on facts plus instinct and other intangible
factors. A leader has to read the situation and know instinctively
what play to call. Leadership is more art than science.”
The human brain is made up of 3 components: the conscious
mind, the subconscious mind and the unconscious mind.
Intuition, which some may call gut feeling, hunch, or even inner
voice, lies in the unconscious mind. Here, where logic of the
conscious mind has no access, ideas get generated.
When, you might ask, can such unconscious energy be useful
to you as a leader?
8
To start with, it is a decision maker which never fails you under
rough circumstances.
“When we struggle with creation and
ideation it’s because we’re trying to
use our conscious mind to resolve
it, but it wasn’t designed for that task. It’s a fabulous problem
solver but it’s not an ideator. The key to unclogging the log jam
is to engage the unconscious mind. The intuition. You can’t see
intuition because it’s energy but it’s real and it’s always there”,
says Sherry Waddingham, coach, speaker, and Founder and
President of Mindshift, in her discussion Intuitive Leadership Listening to Your Intuition.
So when you need to make that tough decision, sleep on it,
in all meaning of the term. Let your unconscious mind tap into
your conscious mind while you sleep, and wake up with new
and fresh ideas. And if you feel you are not ready to trust it
completely, test it with the smallest of decisions you make
before you venture out with what really matters.
1. The water you drink first thing
in the morning will kick up your
metabolism right away.
2. Start small. If you’re not a
breakfast eater, begin with whole
wheat toast and/or a piece of
fruit. In a few days, add more
food.
3. Choose fruit for breakfast. Fruit
gives you fiber. Fresh fruit is the
best choice. There are many to
choose from: oranges, grapefruits,
apples, bananas, grapes, kiwis,
mangos, melons, berries. Eat two
servings of fruit every morning.
Canned fruit packed in juice is
also a good choice. Add dried fruit
to your cereal.
4. Eat high fiber hot cereal. Hot

cereal is the best choice, but there
are several brands of cold cereal
in the market that are high in fiber
and low in sugar.
Choose whole grain bread. Eat
two slices of toast in the morning
or a whole grain bagel. Spread
with fruit spread or applesauce or
your favorite nut butter.
Make healthy pancakes or waffles.
Have you ever considered topping
your pancakes or waffles with
fruit?
Instead of scrambled eggs, try
scrambled tofu. You’re in for a
great surprise.
The sky’s the limit. The only
limitation is your imagination.
Make it a priority. Eat breakfast.
CHOOSE:
High fiber, ready to eat cereals and
whole grain breads.
• Choose a cereal with at least 3-5
grams of fiber per serving.
• Choose cereal that have 5 grams
or less of sugar per serving.
Remember 4 grams of sugar=1
teaspoon.
• Choose bread with at least 2
grams of dietary fiber per slice.
A good breakfast is one that provides
at least one third of the day’s calories.
Breakfast is also very important for weight loss and
weight management. It helps curb your hunger and
prevent binge eating later in the day. Breakfast is
important to manage your weight and potentially lose
weight by eating less calories throughout the day.
WHAT’S YOUR EXCUSE FOR
NOT EATING BREAKFAST?
1.“No time?”
How much time does it take to eat a bowl of cereal?
Make toast and eat it on your way to work or make
your breakfast the night before. Making time for
breakfast is making time to be healthy.
2.“Not hungry?”
To get started, don’t eat anything after an early
supper. Finish supper by 7:30 - 8:00pm.
3.“Might gain weight?”
Eating breakfast will actually help you reach and
maintain your healthy weight. Your appetite will be
satisfied longer. You’ll be eating food when you can
best burn the calories. You’ll feel great, and more
energized.
Health is by Choice...not by chance!
4.“You don’t like breakfast foods?”
You don’t have to eat traditional breakfast foods.
You can eat leftovers, fruit or a sandwich. Any
healthy food is fine.
The choice is yours. By adopting a
better diet and wiser lifestyle habits,
you can live longer, feel better, and
enjoy a healthier, more productive
life.
5.“You don’t like eating breakfast?”
It is in your best interest to eat breakfast. Take the
step and invest in your health by changing your
lifestyle. Do the right thing. Eat breakfast for all the
beneficial reasons we have stated.
For intuitive knowing is not just a feeling, it is the combination of
your logic, experiences, memories, and the paranormal, so let
yourself trust in it!

Safety Tips
FOOD TO BOOST
TEN BARBEQUE SAFETY TIPS
The immune system during the cooler months
Brought to you by Alfardan Properties Engineering and Maintenance Department
Protect yourself against winter ailments, with nutritionist Judith Wills’ immunity-boosting advice
Avocado
The avocado pear is rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant with immunityboosting effects. Antibacterial and antifungal actions boost resistance to
disease, while the vitamin B6 content helps to make antibodies which fight
infection.
Tip: The darker green flesh nearest the skin is richest in nutrients, so scoop
it all out!
Brassicas
Dark, leafy green vegetables, such as dark cabbage, sprouts, broccoli,
spinach and kale, contain high levels of a group of phytochemicals called
glucosinolates - strong immunity-boosters which can be also very rich in
vitamin C, an antioxidant vitamin that aids the immune system. Brassicas
also contain good amounts of vitamins E and B6 (see Avocados), and
carotenoids.
Tip: The stronger the taste, the more likely it is to be doing you good!
Berries
Most berries contain vitamin C, an antioxidant (see Brassicas), and all
berries contain phytochemicals from the bioflavonoid group, which are
antibacterial and antiviral. Blueberries and cranberries are particularly
good at fighting infection, raspberries are high in quercetin and ellagic
acid, while blackcurrants and strawberries are high in vitamin C.
Tip: Berries don’t lose any nutritional value if they’re frozen.
Chillies
Chilli peppers contain a phenolic compound called capsaicin, which has
an antibacterial effect and helps to relieve congestion in the nose and
airways. Chillies - and their cousins in the pepper family, sweet peppers are also high in vitamin C and carotenoids.
Tip: The hotter the chilli, the stronger the beneficial effects.
Fish & Seafood
Oily fish, such as herrings, mackerel, sardines, salmon and fresh tuna, are
rich in omega-3 fatty acids - these essential fats are important for optimum
immune function, amongst other things. Eat two portions a week. Shellfish,
such as crab, prawns, oysters, mussels and scallops, are rich in zinc - a
mineral well known for its immune-boosting properties. All fish, including
white fish, is a good source of selenium.
Tip: Salmon is also the best fish source of vitamin E (see Avocados).
Bio Yogurt
Bio - or live - yogurt contains billions of friendly bacteria known as
probiotics, which help to boost your immune system healthy. If you’re
taking antibiotics, levels of these friendly bacteria can be depleted
because the antibiotics kill the good bugs as well as the bad ones! Eating
bio yogurt daily will help re-colonnise your gut and give a boost to your
immune system.
Tip: Bio yogurts have a mild, creamy flavor, so they go very well with muesli.
Citrus Fruits
These are a rich, low-cost source of vitamin C at this time of year. Eating
the whole fruit (not just the juice) also provides your body with flavonoids phytochemicals that enhance the effect of vitamin C.
Tip: To protect the vitamin C content, store citrus fruit in the fridge. Grapes
and apples (and berries) are also flavonoid-rich.
The barbeque season is finally here. While barbeques are a great way to spend some quality time with friends and family,
it also has its risks. Identifying those risks and approaching them proactively can eliminate unwanted hazards.
Garlic
Garlic is a powerful antiseptic antibacterial and antiviral herb. A sulphur
compound called allicin (which gives garlic its strong aroma) is thought to
be the main source of its immune-boosting properties, because it supports
the white blood cells that gather to fight off infection.
Check out our top 10 barbeque safety tips.
Ginger
Fresh root ginger’s potent gingerol oils have a strong antioxidant effect.
Ginger is a traditional tonic, expectorant and soother, and has been used as
an aid to good health for hundreds of years. Chinese medicine uses ginger
to treat coughs and colds.
2. Food Safety
Food poisoning is very common and can affect anyone.
Remember that a bacterium can grow at any temperature above
freezing point and will stay alive until the temperature reaches
around 165 degrees Fahrenheit. To prevent bacteria from
multiplying in your food, make sure that you keep it cool and
covered before its goes on the grill.
Tip: Garlic should ideally be eaten soon after crushing and only lightly
cooked - cooking at a high temperature or for a long period reduces the
beneficial effects.
Tip: Most spices, including turmeric, cinnamon and cloves, have antioxidant
properties.
Honey
Most good-quality honey has some antibacterial properties and can help
to clear up infections and wounds, but manuka honey from New Zealand
contains antioxidant compounds which can help strengthen the immune
system. It’s also a proven antiseptic.
Tip: Use Manuka honey instead of sugar (but don’t cook with it, as heat
may destroy the beneficial compounds). Two teaspoonfuls a day should be
enough to provide health benefits.
Lentils
The brown and green varieties are particularly rich in iron. Studies show
that if you’re even slightly deficient in iron, you’re more at risk of suffering
from cold sores (herpes simplex) and other viral infections. Lentils are rich
in zinc (see Fish & Seafood), Vitamin B6 (see Brassicas) and are a great
source of selenium.
Tip: Add lentils to a soup with vitamin C-rich vegetables, such as tomatoes,
cabbage and onions. The vitamin C increases the absorption of iron.
Mushrooms
Dark-gilled mushrooms and most varieties of oriental mushroom, such as
shiitake, maitake and reishi, contain high levels of antioxidant phenolic
compounds, such as lentinan, shown to boost immunity and increase
resistance to bacterial infection.
Tip: Oriental varieties of mushroom are good in stir-fries and warm
salads.
1. Fire
To avoid fire hazards and flare-ups, always keep a fire extinguisher
around and be familiar with the type of fire you are using and how
to control it. Avoid using highly flammable liquids such as petrol
and kerosene.
3. Instructions
Never assume that your new grill works just like the last one and
that all the same rules apply. Each grill has specific instructions to
be followed. Reading the instructions is thus important and useful
when it comes to knowing what type of grill you are dealing with
and how to properly use it. It also saves you time and energy and
prevents unnecessary safety hazards.
4. Location
Location is very important when it comes to your grill. Choose a
spot far away from trees and bushes in order to avoid any flareups. Always keep the grill a safe distance away from the lighter
fluid and 10 feet away from your house.
5. Gas Safety
Before you start grilling, make sure you check your grill thoroughly
for leaks by using the soap test. You should also regularly and
thoroughly check for any blockage or obstruction in the path of
the fuel, caused by bugs, which can ultimately cause the gas to
flow where it shouldn’t.
6. Charcoal Safety
The main problem of a charcoal grill is lighting the coal. Using
lighter fluid can cause different kinds of problems, so care should
be taken in finding the best way to light your coals. Never pour or
squirt lighter fluid into an open flame.
7. Grease
Grease is one of the major causes of flare-ups. It builds over time
and can easily get to several pounds only after a few cookouts.
So keep your grill safe by cleaning it after every cookout.
8. Healthy Grilling Techniques
Cooking meat, particularly red meat and chicken, at very high
temperatures can result in surface charring, producing cancercausing substances (Heterocyclic Amines or HCA). People
who love to eat grilled meats must therefore watch out. Taking
the following steps will help minimize the risk: use marinades,
which can reduce the risk by as much as 98 percent; do not
overcook food; keep grill temperatures relatively low (under
600 degrees cooking temperature); and use thinner or smaller
cuts of meat.
9. Smoke
The downside to any cookout experience is the excessive smoke
that gets into your lungs. Smoke contains carbon monoxide and
other dangerous substances that can cause great harm to your
body. Take a break from the grill every now and then, and make
sure that you keep children as far away as possible.
10. Children
Barbeques are all about having a good time, playing games and
participating in fun activities. However, caution must be taken in
order to prevent injuries. Do not allow children to play anywhere
near the fire or the barbeque path.

EURO NCAP
CRASH TEST:
5 Stars for the new
BMW 5 Series
The new BMW 5 Series achieves 100% rating on safety test for new
vehicles. The epitome of aesthetic appeal and dynamic performance
in the upper medium category now performs the function of a role
model in the field of safety, too. The new BMW 5 Series passed the
latest Euro NCAP (New Car Assesment Programme) crash test with
the top rating of 5 stars. The sixth generation of the model series
performed impressively on the test - which was extended to include
additional criteria in 2009 - with its comprehensive safety fittings as
standard as well as a highly effective vehicle occupant protection
system for various different collision types.
With its outstanding results on vehicle occupant protection for adults
and children, pedestrian protection and standard safety features,
the new BMW 5 Series moves into the leading position within its
segment. It is also the first BMW model series to receive a 100
percent on the Euro NCAP crash test rating for outstanding safety
features.
The Euro NCAP test is regarded as one of the most demanding tests
in the world to be applied to new motor vehicles. The Euro NCAP
test is recognised as a benchmark for crash safety by governments,
2011 DUCATI DIAVEL
automobile clubs and consumer protection organisations throughout
Europe. The test scenario includes a head-on collision, side crash
and side impact against a steel post. In 2009, additional criteria were
added, with testing of electronic safety features as well as additional
injury risks in diverse types of collision.
After analysing the test results, Euro NCAP testers certified that
the new BMW 5 Series provides an extremely stable passenger
cell which ensures extensive protection from injury both for driver
and passengers, regardless of their size and seating position.
Maximum points were especially scored on the side impact test, with
particularly effective protection for adult passengers being achieved
on all other test scenarios.
The analysis of vehicle occupant protection for children showed an
outstanding performance by the new BMW 5 Series. The maximum
point score was awarded on the test for seating systems designed
for children aged three, for both head-on and side impact. Both
test scenarios also registered a stable position and minimum head
movement at the moment of collision in the use of seating systems
designed for children aged one and a half and three.

lfardan Premier Motors Co., the exclusive importer of Land
Rover in Qatar, announced that Range Rover has recently
unveiled four pop-up temporary street installations at key Parisian
landmarks. The brand has worked with leading contemporary
Parisian artists to create artworks which have been inspired by
the new Range Rover Evoque and the city of Paris.
The installations focus on luxury, design, sustainability and
technology and represent key aspects of the car. Each will be
unveiled at the start of Paris Fashion Week and have been
created by artists André (AKA Monsieur A), JCDC, Surface To
Air and Yorgo Touplas. Each of the chosen artists has long been
influenced by their city, Paris.
The pop-up street installations have been built around a wire
frame replica of the Range Rover Evoque and will be positioned
at iconic locations, including the Pompidou Centre and the
Palais de Tokyo.
Land Rover design director Gerry McGovern, said: “The Range
Rover Evoque has been designed with a creative and urban
audience in mind. Like a true Range Rover, the Evoque delivers
the all-weather, all-surface capability which is a hallmark of the
brand. Paris is the first city to see the car and we wanted to mark
its arrival with a series of unique installations that epitomise the
cars’ city spirit.”
JAGUAR XJ75
PLATINUM CONCEPT
Commemorates brand’s 75th anniversary
“EVIL, JUST LIKE THE DEVIL!”
The
name “Diavel” was inspired by the Bolognese dialect
word for “devil”: One day, early in the development process of
the bike, the first prototype was assembled and wheeled out
in front of a group of Ducati engineers and technicians who
were viewing the complete motorcycle for the first time. One
person looking from the rear of the bike saw its silhouette
and exclaimed in Bolognese dialect: “Ignurànt comm’ al
Diavel!” Which means: “Evil, just like the devil!” Built to
have a commanding presence, though lightweight
and agile like all Ducatis, the Diavel will take
the man-motorcycle relationship to the next
level in absolute comfort. For connoisseurs of
technology, ABS, Ducati Traction Control and
Ducati Riding Modes will deliver a confidenceinspiring sophistication while stunning looks,
the Superbike-derived Testastretta
11° engine and 207kg (456lb) of
authentic Ducati performance
will drive a comfortable sport
lifestyle that could only be
dreamt of until now.

on its way….in

presence of the new XJ, with a distilled black and white theme,
which conjures up the sense of precious platinum,” said Jaguar

75th Anniversary, and highlights the uniqueness of the XJ, and
more broadly, the increasingly personal nature of luxury cars
in today’s market,” said Mike O’Driscoll, Managing Director of

lfardan Properties has recently organised a special
Halloween event for children of tenants of Alfardan Gardens
in Doha. The Halloween event featured games and other funfilled activities such as Piñata, Pony Rides, Bouncy Castle,
Trick or Treat, Face Painting and Pumpkin Colouring, while
providing an excellent opportunity for parents and tenants to
meet each other and socialise.
1. Trace around the 9” plate onto the cardboard.
2. Use your pen or pencil to draw another circle inside that one,
about an inch away from the outside circle.
3. Cut out the circle and the center of the circle to create a
cardboard wreath base.
4. Fold a piece of scrap paper in half. Using the heart pattern
line up the fold line of the scrap paper with the dotted line
of the pattern. Cut out the shape so that when you open it,
you have a heart shape.
5. Fold the short end of a piece of construction paper up
about 3 inches. Place the folded heart around the folded
paper and trace the half heart shape into the paper. You
should be able to fit three hearts on the paper. Repeat this
step for each colored piece of paper; you will have a total
of 12 hearts.
6. Cut out all the hearts and flatten out the creases so that
the hearts lay flat. Using markers, crayons, or paint pens,
write conversation candy phrases on the hearts such as
“LOVE”, “HUBBA HUBBA”, “SWEET”, “BE MINE”, “KISS”
and “PAL”.
7. Arrange your hearts on top of the cardboard wreath shape
without gluing them down. Once you have them where
you want them, use the glue stick to attach each one.
8. You can hang the wreath as is or attach a piece of looped
yarn to the back as a hanger.
Tips:
1. Paint pens are available from your local craft supply store.
2. Instead of construction paper, you can use colorful
cardstock for this project.
3. Construction paper provides hours of fun and stimulates
your child’s imagination!
