The Peninsula
Most cities in the world were
planned in the days when
computers didn’t even exist.
Their massive transit, power,
water, waste management and traffic
signalling systems were put in place
int that era. Now things are changing:
Interest in the smart city concept has
grown exponentially over the past few
years, with research being done in the
Internet of Things (IoT) and urban do-
mains to improve smart city offerings.
Around 80 cities around the world are
expected to become smart by 2025.
Obviously, moving cities’ old sys-
tems online will make them vulnerable
to cyber attacks. What are the chal-
lenges the smart cities pose for the
governance of the cities and safety of
people?
According to a report published
in MarketWatch.com, San Diego us-
es around 400 applications, some of
them are decades old and may not be
up-to-date. The city is hit by an av-
erage of 60,000 cyber attacks a day.
Every month, New York City faces
about 80 million cyber threats, from
phishing to attacks meant to over-
whelm websites. In 2008, a 14-year-
old schoolboy hacked the tram sys-
tem in the Polish city Lodz, derailing
four vehicles. A cyber espionage cam-
paign, identified by security company
Symantec in 2014, sought to sabotage
energy grids, major electricity firms
and petroleum pipeline operators
across the US and Europe. A worker
at a wastewater treatment plant in
Queensland, Australia, accessed its
networks 46 times over four months
in 2000 to spill more than 200,000
gallons of sewage into parks, rivers
and hotel grounds. So, hackers can
tamper with traffic control, street
lighting, city management systems,
public transportation, cameras, smart
grids, wireless sensors that control
waste and water management and
mobile or cloud networks.
There’s a risk of indirect attacks,
too. For example, If someone wanted
to impact a bank street, he wouldn’t
have to necessarily hack a bank or af-
fect them; he could turn off the sub-
ways, and if people couldn’t get to
work, the bank wouldn’t open.
This and much more were dis-
cussed in the Cyber security Weekend
organised by Kaspersky Lab in Baku,
the capital of Azerbaijan last week.
As in every development, profits
and fashion come first, then come
“unforeseen consequences” that were
actually quite foreseeable, but re-
mained ignored for some reason, says
Mohammad Amin Hasbini, Senior Se-
curity Researcher, Global Research &
Analysis Team, Kaspersky Lab.
What are the challenges the smart
cities’ information systems face in re-
lation to cyber security? Hasbini sees
four primary challenges: First, large
number of technologies and solutions
that have to inter-operate and com-
municate with each other. Inter-op-
erability and inter-communication be-
tween various systems means that
hackers may try to exploit weakness-
es in one system to seize control over
another.
For instance: exploiting an on-
board Wi-Fi system in a modern pas-
senger jet to get a grip on its avionics
– then extrapolate this on a city-wide
scale. Unless the networks are isolat-
ed from each other properly, this is a
possibility. Secondly, uneven quality of
different embedded technologies of
different generations. Thirdly, remote
and onsite exploitability of smart
city information systems. Finally, the
hugeness of data to analyse and store.
Mohammad Amin Hasbini speaking at the event
Smart cities: Letting the genie out of the bottle?
Street lamps in Amsterdam have been upgraded to allow municipal councils to dim the lights based on pedestrian usage.
What is a smart city?A smart city is an urban devel-
opment vision to integrate multi-
ple information and communica-
tion technology solutions in a se-
cure fashion to manage a city’s
assets (local departments infor-
mation systems, schools, libraries,
transportation systems, hospitals,
power plants, water supply net-
works, waste management, law
enforcement, etc) The goal is to
improve quality of life, improve
the efficiency and meet residents’
needs. The system allows offi-
cials to interact with the commu-
nity and the infrastructure and to
monitor what is happening in the
city, how the city is evolving, and
how to enable a better quality of
life. Through the use of sensors
integrated with real-time moni-
toring systems, data are collect-
ed from citizens and devices and
then processed and analysed.
The information and knowledge
gathered are keys to tackling in-
efficiency.

The possible hackability of the
smart cities systems is well illustrated
by a recent research of video surveil-
lance systems in a couple of cities. The
urban CCTV network proved to have
a number of weaknesses, from slop-
py set up and unprotected labelling
of the hardware to unencrypted da-
ta transmittance. “All of these prob-
lems, along with many others, should
be considered ahead of the ‘smarten-
ing’ of every city. ‘Retrofitted and add-
ed cyber security’ (adding newer tech-
nologies to the old ones) is not an op-
tion for the smart cities concept. Risks
are too dire to build ‘seven cities of
cyber-Troy’ upon each other. Cyber se-
curity should be considered early on,
at every possible level from the be-
ginning of smart cities,” Hasbini con-
cludes.
Songdo IBD
Built on 1,500 acres of land re-
claimed from the Yellow Sea off
Incheon, about 56km from the South
Korea’s capital Seoul, is the first smart
city built from scratch on 600 hec-
tares district is the largest private real
estate development in history. The dis-
trict was planned to contain 80,000
apartments, 5,000,000sqm of of-
fice space and 900,000sqm of retail
space. Computers have been built into
the houses, streets, and offices as part
of a wide area network. The Songdo
IBD was part of former President Lee
Myung-bak’s effort to promote green
and low-carbon growth as an avenue
for future development after 60 years
of reliance on export-oriented man-
ufacturing. The Songdo IBD is being
developed as a sustainable city with
more than 40 percnet of its area re-
served for green space, including the
park of 40 hectares, 26km bicycling
lanes, numerous charging stations for
electric vehicles and a waste collec-
tion system that eliminates the need
for trash trucks.
Amsterdam
The Amsterdam Smart City initia-
tive began in 2009 currently includes
79 projects collaboratively developed
by local residents, government and
businesses. These projects run on
an interconnected platform through
wireless devices to enhance the city’s
real time decision making abilities.
To promote efforts from local resi-
dents, the city runs the Amsterdam
Smart City Challenge annually, accept-
ing proposals for applications and de-
velopments that fit within the city’s
framework. An example of a resident
developed app is Mobypark, which al-
lows owners of parking spaces to rent
them out to people for a fee. The data
generated from this app can then be
used by the city to determine parking
demand and traffic flows in Amster-
dam. A number of homes have also
been provided with smart energy me-
ters, with incentives provided to those
that actively reduce energy consump-
tion.
Barcelona
Barcelona has established a
number of projects that can be con-
sidered ‘smart city’ applications within
its CityOS strategy. For example, sen-
sor technology has been implement-
ed in the irrigation system in Parc
del Centre de Poblenou, where re-
al time data is transmitted to garden-
ing crews about the level of water re-
quired for the plants.
Barcelona has also designed a new
bus network based on data analysis
of the most common traffic flows in
Barcelona, utilising primarily vertical,
horizontal and diagonal routes with
a number of interchanges. Integra-
tion of multiple smart city technolo-
gies can be seen through the imple-
mentation of smart traffic lights as
buses run on routes designed to op-
timise the number of green lights. In
addition, where an emergency is re-
ported in Barcelona, the approximate
route of the emergency vehicle is en-
tered into the traffic light system, set-
ting all the lights to green as the vehi-
cle approaches through a mix of GPS
and traffic management software.
Smart city data analytics helped implement
a new bus network in Bercelona.

Indonesian women hold charity bazaar
The Women’s Organisation of the In-
donesian Embassy in Doha organ-
ised a one night charity bazaar and
culture festival recently. The event was
attended by 1,187 residents of Qatar,
including those from the Asean com-
munity in Doha. The “Untukmu Indo-
nesiaku (for you, my Indonesia)” festi-
val was held at the embassy and co-
incided with the commemoration of
Kartini Day. The Kartini Day is to cele-
brate the life of an Indonesian heroine
R A Kartini, a pioneer in the area of ed-
ucation for girls and women’s rights for
Indonesian. During the festival, the In-
donesian community presented tradi-
tional foods, drinks, dances and songs.
There were 12 performances from the
community. A portion of the bazaar’s
proceeds is to be donated to the For-
eign Ministry of Indonesia.

A large number of Qatargas
employees participated in the
third annual Qatargas beach
clean-up held yesterday at Al
Ghariya beach, 85km north of Doha.
Qatargas launched the annual
beach clean-up day initiative in 2013
in coordination with the Ministry of
Municipality and Environment, as part
of the company’s continued commit-
ment towards promoting environmen-
tal protection and preserving the natu-
ral beauty of Qatar for generations to
come.
This year’s beach clean-up activity
witnessed the participation of a large
number of Qatargas employees.
Azzam Abdulaziz Al-Mannai, Qa-
targas Public Relations Manager said:
“We would like to thank all our employ-
ees who participated in the beach
clean-up activity for setting aside a
few hours from their weekend holi-
day to participate in this worthwhile
activity. This is a clear demonstra-
tion of their personal commitment to-
wards environmental protection. We
also greatly appreciate the continued
support from the Ministry of Munici-
pality and Environment.”
“Initiatives aimed at promoting envi-
ronmental protection form an integral
part of Qatargas’ Corporate Social Re-
sponsibility Programme. Our efforts in
this area are fully aligned with the ob-
jectives of the Environmental Develop-
ment pillar of the Qatar National Vision
2030.”
A long stretch of the beach at Al
Ghariya was cleaned as part of the
event. This involved the collection
and removal of several bags of rub-
bish and debris including plastic bot-
tles and plates, cans, wood and sev-
eral other items.
Al Ghariya is a popular beach, vis-
ited by several people, especially dur-
ing the weekends. The sandy beach
and shallow water provide a beautiful
and relaxing atmosphere. So, in ad-
dition to helping protect marine life,
the removal of litter and debris from
the beach will also make it a cleaner,
more beautiful place for visitors.
Qatargas is totally committed to
the management of the environ-
ment in which we operate. As a re-
sponsible energy operator, Qatar-
gas is keen to promote pioneering
environmental solutions to further
improve the environmental per-
formance of our LNG and other pro-
duction facilities.

The Bedaya Center for Entrepre-
neurship and Career Develop-
ment (Bedaya Center), a joint
initiative by Qatar Development Bank
and Silatech, concluded its week-long
entrepreneurship camp organised for
children aged 10 to 14 years. Titled
“Entrepreneurship Spring Camp”, the
campwas organised in collaboration
with the children’s library ‘Maktaba’
and held within its premises.
On the first day of the camp, the
young participants were engaged in
several activities and courses, which
were simplified to suit their age.
These courses offered an overview of
entrepreneurship, team building as-
pects and project ideas that could be
implemented. The second day com-
prised learning effective marketing
concepts like promoting merchan-
dise in different marketing scenari-
os and the techniques of presenting
projects.
The third day started with brand
building exercises like design aspects
and the best ways to use social net-
working for supporting the brand. They
also learnt the principles of finance and
pricing.
On the fourth day each group
learned how to take photos of their
products and create short promo-
tional films. They also participated in
sporting activities in a session run by
Evolve entitled “Healthy body Healthy
Mind”.
On the last day they designed a
booth and sold their products to visi-
tors who welcomed the idea and were
impressed by the positive results.
Reem Al Sowaidi, General Manager
of Bedaya Center, said: “The main ob-
jective of the “Entrepreneurship Spring
Camp” is to teach basic skills to young
campers and instil in them the value
of self-employment. Besides teaching
them the skills to communicate in pub-
lic and breaking the fear barrier, we take
responsibility through a set of integrat-
ed methods. This provides them with
the skills to deal with the needs of the
market & commodities and learn the
best ways to market and promote their
products, which will help them attract
customers.”
Sarah Champa, Founder of Makta-
ba, said: “We are honoured today to
have Bedaya Center as a new part-
ner who supports our mission. And
though we focus on inspiring kids and
their families to love reading & learn-
ing, we also seek to encourage them
to learn new things.”

FOOD
By Joe Yonan
The Washington Post
Baked pasta is like an old friend
I lost touch with for no good
reason. Every time I get reac-
quainted, I think: “It’s been too
long. Why don’t we do this more of-
ten?”
There’s really nothing quite as com-
forting as this combination of starch
and cheese, bubbling hot, with a crispy
topping. And yet I don’t find myself
turning to it all that often — perhaps
because it seems like a bit of a pro-
duction (with multiple pans and lots
of cleanup), and perhaps because the
serving amounts tend to be in the
eight-or-more range, too much for my
two-person dinner table.
Then, one recent night, I had a crav-
ing. I had all my favourite makings in
the house: roasted vegetables, cooked
beans, dried pasta, canned tomatoes,
cheese. It would come together more
easily, so why not? We tried to control
ourselves, portionwise, the first night,
then had it for multiple lunches and
follow-up dinners. By the end of the
run, as satisfying as it had been at the
start, the dish had gotten a little tire-
some.
When I wanted to dive back in, I
found a recipe from the great and
powerful Alton Brown that featured
an appealing approach that solved
some of my issues. You use the same
big cast-iron skillet to roast cauliflower,
make a sauce and bake the assembled
dish, so it’s down to two cooking ves-
sels (including the pasta pot). And it’s
a smaller batch - not overwhelming in
the leftovers department.
I took a few liberties, adding white
beans for a protein boost and switch-
ing to a smoked cheddar for extra flavor.
The results proved this old friend needs
to come back into my life for good.
Baked pasta with roasted cauli-
flower and white beans
4 to 6 servings. MAKE AHEAD: The
roasted cauliflower and the cooked
pasta can each be refrigerated for up
to 5 days before you proceed with the
recipe. Bring to room temperature be-
fore baking.
Adapted from a recipe by Alton
Brown on altonbrown. com.
Ingredients1 large head cauliflower (1 ½ to
2 pounds)1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil½ teaspoon fine sea salt, plus
more as needed4 large cloves garlic, chopped½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
flakesOne 14-ounce can no-salt-add-
ed diced tomatoes and their juices, preferably fire-roasted, such as Muir Glen brand
One 15-ounce can (1 ½ cups) no-
salt-added cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
8 ounces dried penne or rigato-ni pasta
1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reg-giano cheese
1 cup (4 ounces) smoked ched-dar cheese, shredded or grated (may substitute smoked Gouda or smoked mozzarella)
¼ cup plain bread crumbs
StepsPreheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Remove and discard the cauliflow-
er core and leaves. Break the florets
into bite-size pieces. (You should have
about 6 cups.) Toss the florets with
the oil and the ½ teaspoon of salt in a
large (10-to-12-inch) cast-iron or other
heavy, ovenproof skillet. Roast, stirring
a time or two, until the cauliflower is
lightly browned and barely tender, 20
to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of
water to a boil over high heat. Add a
generous pinch or two of salt.
Once the cauliflower is done, trans-
fer the skillet to the stove top over
medium heat. Stir in the garlic and
crushed red pepper flakes; cook un-
til the garlic is tender, 3 to 4 minutes,
then stir in the tomatoes and their
juices and the beans. Cook until heat-
ed through, a few minutes, then re-
move from the heat.
Add the pasta to the boiling wa-
ter; cook according to the package
directions (al dente). Use a large slot-
ted spoon or skimmer to scoop out
the cooked pasta, letting it drain be-
fore transferring it to the skillet mix-
ture. Stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano
and smoked cheddar cheeses; taste,
and add salt as needed. Top with the
bread crumbs.
Return the skillet to the oven; bake
until the cheese is melted and bub-
bling and the bread crumbs are gold-
en brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let the
baked pasta cool for 5 minutes be-
fore scooping it into individual bowls
for serving.

FASHION
By Virginia Postrel
Bloomberg
Attracting celebrities, fashioni-
stas and worldwide press at-
tention, the Metropolitan Mu-
seum of Art’s Costume Insti-
tute gala is the red-carpet event of
the season. This year the accompany-
ing exhibit is sponsored by that well-
known fashion brand, Apple. Last year
the money came from Yahoo.
To the cynical eye, the sponsor-
ships recall the 19th-century marriag-
es in which an American heiress wed a
European aristocrat, giving the bride a
pedigree and the groom a fortune. Sil-
icon Valley brings the bucks. New York
and Hollywood supply the cachet.The
alliance of fashion and technology can
be an awkward one. Each tribe tends
to look down on the other.
“You have the world of technolo-
gy, which has seen fashion as below
it: We’re the geeks, why would we do
clothes or shoes?” says Dolly Singh,
the founder and CEO of Thesis Cou-
ture, a Los Angeles-based startup that
is re-engineering high heels. “And then
you have the world of fashion, where
the highest tier of fashion has always
snubbed their nose at technology. ‘Oh,
they want to put lights and gadgets on
everything — how ridiculous is that?’”
For designers willing to work close-
ly with technologists, however, digit-
ally driven production techniques are
enabling new aesthetic and functional
forms. Unlike wearables, which incor-
porate computing into garments and
accessories, here the fashion, not the
technology, is the focus. Take the cen-
trepiece of the Met’s “Manus x Machi-
na: Fashion in an Age of Technology,”
opening on May 5.
A Karl Lagerfeld wedding gown
made of neoprene, it features an elab-
orately embroidered train whose de-
sign was hand drawn, scanned into a
computer and pixelated. Translated in-
to rhinestones and pearls, the pattern
looks traditionally baroque at a dis-
tance but digitized from closer in. “For
me technology is a creative tool — it’s
not a functional end product,” says
Andrew Bolton, the Costume Insti-
tute’s head curator, in an interview in
the exhibit catalog. “The show focus-
es on ‘fashion in an age of technolo-
gy,’ not fashion and technology per se.
It examines materials and techniques
that have had realistic — and practical
— applications within fashion, such as
laser cutting.”
The current “#techstyle” (say it
aloud) exhibit now showing at the
Boston Museum of Fine Arts also high-
lights such techniques. Some standout
pieces, such as a silver laser-cut leath-
er dress by Giles Deacon and a digit-
ally printed dress from Alexander Mc-
Queen’s “Plato’s Atlantis” collection,
represent high-end versions of proc-
esses that have already transformed
the look and feel of everyday clothes.
Others resemble haute couture sculp-
tures. The exhibit’s inspiration piece is a
skirt and cape ensemble that appears to
be covered in rubbery barnacles. Com-
bining hard plastic and soft silicone, the
outer shell was 3-D printed in panels,
which were then sewn onto an inner lin-
ing. “It’s still in many ways a hand-craft-
ed garment, but it’s a hand-crafted gar-
ment using the best of the new technol-
ogy,” says curator Michelle Finamore.
To create the ensemble, the Dutch
fashion designer Iris van Herpen
worked with MIT Media Lab’s Neri Ox-
man, whose publications feature titles
like “Multi-Scale Thermal Stability of a
Hard Thermoplastic Protein-based Ma-
terial.” Such joint ventures are growing.
“To execute these garments and acces-
sories designers need the specialists,
the people with technological skills --
the coding, the programming, how to
work the 3-D printer,” says
Finamore. “The designers who are
successful have really collaborated
with the people who know the medi-
um and know the process in-depth. It’s
not just saying, ‘This is the silhouette
and I need to achieve it. Somebody fig-
ure it out.’ It’s working together from
the start to conceive and execute the
garment.”
At Thesis Couture, Singh used the
connections and team-building skills
she’d developed at Space X and Oc-
ulus VR to bring scientists, engineers
and materials specialists from outside
fashion together with shoe experts, in-
cluding an orthopedic surgeon and tra-
ditional shoemakers. Their goal: to re-
invent the stiletto using advanced ma-
terials and structural engineering.
Beginning with a mold of Singh’s
foot, Thesis built a computer mod-
el to identify how to make a shoe that
wouldn’t put so much of the body’s
weight on the ball of the foot. “It took
us two years to figure out what that ge-
ometry is that will give us that magic
weight shift,” from the usual 80 percent
or so to around 50 percent, Singh says.
A key technology was 3-D printing,
which enabled the company to test
many iterations of its shoe parts before
investing in expensive molds and tool-
ing. Without 3-D printing, says Singh,
“I never would have gotten around
the capital chicken-and-egg prob-
lem. You’d have to have lots of mon-
ey so you can cut lots of metal.” Fol-
lowing the Tesla pattern, Thesis plans
to release a limited edition of 1,500
pairs priced at $925 this fall, with three
models priced from $350 showing in
the winter and shipping in the spring.
Whether a stiletto designed by
rocket scientists can span the chasm
between the fashion and tech com-
munities remains to be seen. Like the
museum exhibits, however, Thesis un-
derscores the growing connections be-
tween the two worlds. And for all their
mutual disdain, the fashion and tech-
nology tribes share a willingness to ex-
periment in pursuit of the new.
Digital couture is now actually a thing
For designers willing to work closely with technologists, however, digitally driven production techniques are enabling new aesthetic and functional forms. Unlike wearables, which incorporate computing into garments and accessories, here the fashion, not the technology, is the focus.

HEALTH & FITNESS
By Anna Gorman
The Washington Post
Flora Yang is small, spry and
not afraid to tell you her age:
“90-something.” She walks twice
a week at the Mazza Gallerie
mall in Northwest Washington and
says mall walking keeps her young and
fit.
Health officials are starting to no-
tice that effect too and say more malls
should open their doors to walkers.
The Centres for Disease Control and
Prevention has put out a guide saying
the mall is a perfect place for seniors
to get in their steps.
It’s no secret that getting up and
moving makes people healthier and
reduces the risk of heart disease,
stroke and diabetes. But unpredictable
weather and unsafe streets sometimes
get in the way, especially for seniors.
That’s where shopping malls come
in.
Mall walking began decades ago,
when heart doctors began recom-
mending it to their patients, said Basia
Belza, a professor at the University of
Washington’s nursing school. She esti-
mates that hundreds of programs ex-
ist around the country, but they aren’t
widely known. “They are the best-kept
secret,” Belza said.
The CDC’s resource guide, released
last year, encourages malls to expand
walking clubs and set up new ones.
The guide, co-authored by Belza, said
indoor shopping centers are ideal for
walking because their level surfac-
es make seniors less likely to slip and
fall. Malls are also well-lit and have wa-
ter fountains, restrooms and places to
rest. And seniors can walk in malls re-
gardless of the weather.
The U.S. Surgeon General cited mall
walking last year in a national call to
action to improve the nation’s walka-
bility and to get more people moving.
Mall walking clubs are often part-
nerships between a shopping center
and providers, hospitals and commu-
nity groups that serve seniors. They are
typically free for walkers, and some in-
clude organized warm-up exercises,
health screenings and lectures about
healthy eating.
Sibley Memorial Hospital in Wash-
ington runs the walking club at Mazza
Gallerie. In addition to helping seniors
get exercise, participating in the club
reduces their isolation, said Marti Bai-
ley, director of the hospital’s senior as-
sociation.
“It’s so much more than walking,”
Bailey said. “It’s walking, talking, shar-
ing life together in a real way. It’s the
beauty of the walking club.”
Bailey said such clubs are more im-
portant now than ever, given the ag-
ing of the population and the number
of seniors living with chronic diseases.
Yang says she believes she was
the first member of the Mazza Gal-
lerie walking club. She said she start-
ed walking there in 1992, back when
she could carry her granddaughter in
her arms. Soon, she said, people start-
ed walking with her, and the numbers
grew. She has benefited greatly, she
said. “Still I can fight you,” she said,
chuckling.
Members of the club come and
go. Ann Morales, the secretary of the
group, pulled out a photo of its walk-
ers from several years ago. “This is the
doctor who used to be here,” she said.
“He passed away. . . . Marlene, Flora are
here. We haven’t seen this lady for a
long time.”
On the mornings that they gather,
the seniors start with a blood pressure
check by a retired doctor.
“Let’s take a peek,” Aric Schichor
said as he wrapped the cuff around
Yang’s arm. “140 over 80.”
Then Yang stood up and headed
down the hall, holding hands with an-
other longtime walker, Marlene Jordan.
“My doctor says I need a cane,” Jordan
said. “I don’t think I need it.”
“I’m her cane,” Yang said, giving her
a squeeze.
The group strolled past a T.J. Maxx
and a jewelry store and turned the
corner at a Subway sandwich shop.
Seven times around made a mile.
Helga Fox, 87, has been walking
with the group for a few years. She
lives in a condo with a fitness center,
but she prefers to come here. She likes
the company. “It’s a nice way to start
the day,” she said.
Most of all, Fox said, she appreci-
ates being able to visit with the doc-
tor. She has hypertension and feels
better after having her blood pressure
checked.
Walking groups also benefit the
malls, which have struggled to attract
people as more consumers turn to on-
line shopping.
Nicole Schade, a spokeswoman for
Mazza Gallerie, said the walkers there
often visit the stores, see a movie or
grab breakfast.
“We have seen an uptick in busi-
ness thanks to the mall walking pro-
gram,” Schade said.

After exploding into the pub-
lic consciousness in the 2011
hit Bridesmaids, Melissa Mc-
Carthy became known for a
particular brand of slapstick, raunchy
comedy, cultivating a crude, coarse,
socially inept persona that grew less
appealing with every iteration.
Last year’s Spy proved a delight-
ful exception: Finally, McCarthy could
prove what a nimble, likable actress
she is, and the film bubbled and
squeaked with low-key, feminist op-
timism.
With The Boss, McCarthy has sadly
reverted to form, playing yet another
selfish, cluelessly narcissistic character
given to pratfalls and prodigious pro-
fanity streaks.
Here she plays Michelle Darnell, the
47th richest woman in America, who
resembles a cross between Suze Or-
man, Martha Stewart and McCarthy’s
reliably unpleasant alter ego. After
a promising opening number — set
at one of Darnell’s self-improvement
rock shows — this sludgily paced vehi-
cle kicks into its natural gear, lurching
from one set piece to the next with
workmanlike, if frequently clumsy, ef-
ficiency.
The plot is predictably schemat-
ic: After doing time at a Club Fed-
like state prison for insider trading,
Michelle seeks to reinvent herself, en-
listing her long-suffering assistant
Claire (Kristen Bell) to help get her
back on her feet. When she accompa-
nies Claire’s daughter to a club meet-
ing and hears how much money there
is in cookie sales, the light bulb goes
on. Michelle dragoons her team into
developing a similar group in which
profit-sharing will take the place of
badges and in which unsavoury talk
about sexuality and a hair-pulling,
tush-kicking, bloodletting street rum-
ble are by no means out of the ques-
tion.
Impeccably coiffed and cosmeti-
cized, and dressed in a series of inex-
plicably burkalike turtlenecks, McCa-
rthy projects undeniable zing in The
Boss, which was directed and co-writ-
ten by her husband, Ben Falcone. Bell
does her best to remain respectfully
bland as Michelle’s sweet-natured, pa-
tient foil, while Peter Dinklage seems
to be channelling his lamest Derek
Zoolander as an oily competitor with
whom Michelle shares some dubious
personal history.
In fact, credit for the most nota-
ble performance in The Boss should
probably go to newcomer Eva Pe-
terson, a somber-faced, leggy beau-
ty who delivers a commanding, dead-
liest-of-deadpan performance as
one of Michelle’s new young prote-
ges. She’s a standout in what is oth-
erwise a thinly constructed excuse to
watch McCarthy engage in her sig-
nature lowbrow physical gags (an
errant fold-out couch, a slip down
some stairs, a sushi-induced stroke)
and breathtakingly blue dialogue —
here given extra shock by usually be-
ing uttered in the company of angelic
tween girls.
Presumably, The Boss will give
McCarthy’s core audience exact-
ly what they expect from a woman
who in five short years has become
her own cheerful, aggressively dis-
tasteful brand. Although her charis-
ma is still undeniable, there’s also no
denying that McCarthy is capable of
much more than she’s allowing her-
self to do here. There comes a point
when every force of nature starts to
look just plain forced.

Film: Fan
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Waluscha de
Sousa, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Deepika Amin,
Yogendra Tiku, Sayani Gupta
Directed by: Maneesh Sharma
Rating: ***1/2
In a star-struck country, where hero
worshipping is a norm, Fan is an in-
sightful film looking into the obses-
sive, delusional behaviour of a star
admirer and his love for his matinee
idol. It is a reality check for both, stars
and their fans.
Basically, the film is a battle of wills
between Gaurav Chandna, the fan,
and Aryan Khanna, the star.
Delhi-based Gaurav is the reign-
ing heart-throb Aryan’s doppelganger
and a die-hard fan. It is his dream to
meet his idol. So crazy is he that he fol-
lows the same trail as his idol to Mum-
bai and goes to any lengths to protect
his star. How he meets his star and the
disillusionment that follows, forms crux
of the tale.
The story written and directed by
Maneesh Sharma, is uncomplicated,
but of course exaggerated and zooms
into a noire zone, pushing the bound-
aries of acceptability. The first half of
the film is well-balanced and taut. It is
the second half that is far-fetched, and
though thrilling, strains.
Although treated as a dramatic thrill-
er, the film is more of drama than a
thriller. Narrated from Gaurav’s point of
view, the film brings to fore, the prag-
matic issues of stardom and how stars
deal with their crazy fans.
Your heart bleeds for Gaurav, but at
the same time makes you realise that
one needs to be rational.
The pace of the film though
racy, drags in parts, especially in the
stretched action sequences, which is
well-choreographed.
With well-etched characters, the
performance of each actor is note-
worthy. The film belongs to Shah Rukh
Khan, who in a dual role, is a treat for
his fans. In both his characters, Gaurav
and Aryan, he is distinct in his sartorial
style, speech and mannerisms. With his
overt histrionics, sincerity and simplicity,
his obsession is palpable. He steals the
show as Gaurav. As Aryan, Shah Rukh
Khan is merely an extension of himself.
Of the rest of the supporting cast,
Deepika Amin and Yogendra Tiku, as
Gaurav’s parents are fairly competent.
Waluscha de Sousa as Aryan’s wife and
Shriya Pilgaonkar as Gaurav’s love in-
terest Neha, in small roles make their
presence felt. With great production
values, the sets are realistic and the lo-
cales impressive.
Visually, Director of Photograohy
(DOP) Manu Anand’s images are im-
pressive. He captures the hysteria of
the fans and their gawking at their star,
with precise acuteness. His frames
seamless mesh with the computer
generated images.
It is in the initial scenes where the
shots with grainy images are chaot-
ic and thus, disorienting, but once the
narration settles, the visuals are realis-
tic and appealing.
Namrata Rao’s razor sharp edits
are crisp and note-worthy. She aptly
layers the visuals and Andrea Guerra’s
background score to make the film a
sound and visual delight. Interestingly,
despite with no songs in the narration,
Fan keeps you entertained with Shah
Rukh’s gusty performance.

Muchhal and Jubin Nautiyal to
compose the music album for the up-
coming TV show Nagarjun: Ek Yoddha.
The album will comprise three
songs of different genres. The entire
album will be composed by Ganguly.

about working on TV shows. In spite
of the fact that I have composed mu-
sic for more than 100 Bengali films,
this is my second TV composition on
television,” Ganguly said in a state-
ment.
“When I heard the concept of the
show, I fell in love with the story. I
have put more efforts in this compo-
sition than I usually do even for films,”
he added.
Nagarjun: Ek Yoddha, which will be
aired on Life OK, will feature actors
Anshuman Malhotra and Pooja Baner-
jee in the lead as Arjun and Noorie.

TECHNOLOGY
By Chuck Culpepper
The Washington Post
At its nadir last spring, the
remote-controlled tackling
dummy of Dartmouth stood
discarded at a dumpster. A
student, Molly Stifler, spotted it. She
knew her boyfriend, Elliot Kastner,
had worked an eon on it. The project
had stalled a year before, and now
the dummy leaned against the dump-
ster in front of trash bags, surround-
ed by unwanted boards and yester-
year’s furniture. It — he? — looked mel-
ancholy.
Stifler called Kastner.
If football winds up saved 100
years from now, and if the dashing
Dartmouth tackling dummy has any-
thing to do it, it will have coursed to
importance through a dumpster, a
last-ditch Plan B, a wee-hour catas-
trophe and a bevy of human turns,
coincidences and defeats. It will owe
much to one engineering school that
disdains boundaries and preaches
failure, and to two engineer-athletes
who, at 23, chose to spend their sum-
mer of 2015 poor in sleep and rich in
metal shavings. And it will owe its ori-
gins to a coach’s child chasing around
the cat and dog with his joystick-con-
trolled toy car.
Look now: The dummy with the
five-second 40-yard dash is famous —
not what you’d expect from a foam-vi-
nyl-and metal sort devoid of charisma.
It spent last fall and this spring help-
ing the Ivy League champion football
players at Dartmouth hone tackling
techniques with the aim of reducing
concussions because, by tackling it at
practices, they could refrain from tack-
ling each other. It got a fresh round of
publicity last month when Ivy League
coaches voted unanimously to elimi-
nate full-contact hitting from practices.
It has gone to Michigan State’s spring
practice and bamboozled some Spar-
tans, who briefly acted as if they had
seen an extraterrestrial.
It appeared on The Late Show with
Stephen Colbert. It has inspired the
dean of Dartmouth’s Thayer School of
Engineering to needle other deans at
convention dinners with the question:
“So, how many of you have had one of
your design projects end up on ‘The
Late Show with Stephen Colbert’?”
It has snared its own trademark. It
has secured a manufacturer to make
replicas even if the sale price remains
uncertain. It has commanded its own of-
fice in a woodsy office park three miles
from campus, in Lebanon, New Hamp-
shire, where it often stands — two of
them, actually — in a front corner. Its
two main inventors, former Dartmouth
defensive lineman Kastner and former
Dartmouth rugby player Quinn Connell,
painstakingly perfect it, thinking and
toiling and writing stuff on the atri-
um window. This MVP (“Mobile Virtu-
al Player”) has a director of marketing
(the outstanding former Dartmouth re-
ceiver Ryan McManus) and an intern
(Colin Keffernan).
It even has business cards, though
it lacks the hands to dole them out.
At least two NFL teams have cold-
called about it. Kansas State assistant
coach Collin Klein, a 2012 Heisman Tro-
phy finalist, mailed a card now tacked
above a desk at the Lebanon office
that reads, “The technology you work
with will make our players and game
better.”
The fundraising clearly has accel-
erated. Downstairs in the parking ga-
rage, a spiffy new manufacturing ma-
chine has arrived from California. Con-
nell, that rare individual who can play
rugby, build kayaks and teach calcu-
lus, proclaims himself “the most excit-
ed I’ve been” and says, “This basically
can turn a hunk of metal into whatev-
er you want.”
It’s a long, halting way from Buddy
Teevens seeing his kid operate a toy car
with a joystick and forming a big Hm-
mm. “And I’m not sure how my mind
works sometimes,” said the 59-year-
old-but-looks-younger Dartmouth
football coach, “but I thought, What if
we put that on a dummy?”
It became a summer of double shifts
in the shop, evenings at the drawing
boards and computers, midday work-
outs instead of lunches, Kastner briskly
eating microwavable meals with card-
board as utensil. Come early August, as
Currier put it, they “didn’t have anything
that was worth putting on the field that
anybody would notice.”
They went to a Plan B, essential-
ly a simplification. Come Aug. 19, they
were trucking a new version of the
dummy to a field when they came
across rugby player Madison Hugh-
es. They asked Hughes to tackle it.
Upstairs in his office above the field,
Teevens saw it move and said, “Son of
a gun.” Across the world, Connell’s ed-
ited video of Hughes tackling the MVP
got 30,000 views and then, during a
one-hour car ride, reached 100,000,
at which point Connell, Kastner and
Stifler stopped the car to holler out
the windows.
Come August 26 at 2am, hours be-
fore CNN and all media creation would
arrive for a morning demonstration,
Kastner was making final adjustments
to a dummy when, from across the
room, Connell heard a ping, then odd
silence. A key metal plate had broken,
and Kastner stood somberly holding its
two parts. Connell recalls “head in the
hands” and “sink to the floor,” but also
laughter. “If it had all gone as planned,”
he says, “what’s the challenge you’re
going to overcome?” They failed to wal-
low, called somebody to open the shop
early, went home in their usual coat of
metal shavings, showered, slept an hour
and returned at 6am. About four hours
later, they rushed two dummies out to
meet members of the media and the
Dartmouth team. The time was right.
Football people yearn for solutions.
Come April, there would be dizzy-
ing progress, even though Connell spent
the fall teaching calculus and all else on
a mobile high school coursing through
Latin America, stopping to conduct con-
ference calls about the MVP dummy at
pay phones in rural Colombia. Come
April, Kastner would say, “I think it’s slow-
ly dawning on us that this is a real prod-
uct that’s going to be used by teams
we’ve kind of grown up watching.”
Remote-controlled tackling dummy to save football
The fundraising clearly has accelerated. Downstairs in the parking garage, a spiffy new manufacturing machine has arrived from California. Connell, that rare individual who can play rugby, build kayaks and teach calculus, proclaims himself “the most excited I’ve been” and says, “This basically can turn a hunk of metal into whatever you want.”
