Samsung Diamond League Qatar

The Samsung Diamond League encompasses 32 individual Event Disciplines, with a points scoring ‘Diamond Race’ which runs throughout the 14 meeting series. Winners of each Diamond Race will get a Diamond Trophy and a cash prize but more importantly, will have shown season long consistency to earn the unchallenged honor of being the World Number 1.

Following the success of last year’s event and after the recent announcements of the top level athlete’s, like David Rudisha, Asafa Powell, Nesta Carter, Veronica Campell-Brown, Allyson Felix, Kenenisa Bekele, Justin Gatlin, and many others, a large crowd is expected to be attracted and whoever wishing to watch a top level competition is advised to book early to avoid disappointment.

At the close of the sporting spectacle, Doha 2020 Bid Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games is organizing a charity concert which will be brought to life by Arab singing superstars from the renowned “Bokra” ensemble. In the spirit of encouraging sports and culture, which Doha 2020 believes can inspire many young people, the proceeds from the concert will go to charity organizations. More information can be found on the Doha 2020 Bid Committee's facebook page www.facebook.com/#!/doha2020qa .

The Barzan Towers in Qatar

2012-05-05T09:34:00.002-07:00

Location

Umm Slal Mohammed, close to the main road.

Al Barzan Tower Qatar

History

Barzan means high place, and it was said that pearl divers could see the Barzan Towers when they returned from their pearl trips.
They were built at the start of the 20th century by Sheik Mohammed Bin Jassim Al Thani. He may have had reason to be insecure – although he had soundly defeated the Ottomans in battle a few years before, their soldiers still lurked in Al Koot fort in Doha.
The buildings were essentially watch towers, probably built to protect an area where rain water collected and date trees could be green - greenery, a well and a brook can still be seen in Um Slal Mohammed today.

The Barzan Towers Today

Al Barzan Tower Qatar

The Barzan Towers have been completely rebuilt, and features such as modern air-conditioners do not add to the authenticity of the experience (although they may make it a lot more bearable in the summer months!) However, the towers, with their thick stone walls, still make an interesting trip.
The Barzan Towers also afford a good view of the surrounding area.
You can see from the walls the extreme gaps in wealth that exist in Qatar.
On one side of the towers huge modern and rather tasteless houses stand, on the other makeshift shacks exist.
We watched a man walk a mile from one of these shacks to collect water from a tap.

Some of the works on display at the exhibition

The Peruvian Paso horse is a flagship product of Peru, created by Peruvians over centuries through a long process of purification and selection, from the Spanish horses that arrived during the time of the Conquista (XVI century).

These Spanish horses mostly came from three bloodlines: the Castilian, the Andalusian and the Jaca. It is a breed unique in the world distinguished by its way of walking, which is known as an amble, meaning a gait

LG showcases 3D cinema experience in Doha Qatar

2012-05-02T15:00:00.000-07:00

The new 2012 Cinema 3D Smart TV from LG is presented by Park, Kim, Ambassador Jeong, Jassim Sulaiman, Sajed Sulaiman, and Anis on 1 May 2012

LG Electronics and its sole Qatar distributor Video Home & Jumbo Electronics yesterday launched the South Korean technology major’s latest 2012 Cinema 3D Smart TV line-up in Qatar.
The star of the range is the world’s narrowest (1mm) bezel 3D TV, which has won the CES 2012 ‘Innovation Award’ and the ‘2012 reddot design award.’

“LG is aiming for the number one slot in Qatar’s TV market with the new range,” said James Kim, general manager, TV division, LG Electronics Gulf.

Comfortable and immersive 3D, limitless content, and the ease of using and connecting are among the salient features of LG’s 2012 Cinema 3D Smart TV line-up.

A demonstration proved that the TV offers impressive 3D images even from a 180 degree viewing angle.
The unique, lightweight (16gm) 3D glasses which do not require battery power, 3D depth control, 3D sound zooming, 2D to 3D conversion, over 1,200 Smart TV apps, and ‘magic remote’ are among the features.

“LG, which has established its number one position across premium 3D Smart TV segment as per data provided by GFK, a leading global market research company, takes the 3D TV user-experience to superlative levels,” Kim claimed.


LG Cinema 3D Smart TV

The world’s narrowest bezel delivers ultimate simplicity and the most immersive Cinema 3D viewing experience reminiscent of an actual cinema screen.

The magic remote combines the functions of pointing, gesture and wheel scrolling. The 3D World provides access to a constantly growing library of 3D movies, games, sports and TV shows.
The new 3D depth control lets users adjust the depth, or the distance between the on-screen objects, of a 3D movie or TV show they are watching.

The 3D sound zooming feature generates a 3D sound that is synchronised with the displayed 3D content, allowing users to not only see, but also hear in 3D.
The Dual Play function allows dual-player games to be played on a Cinema 3D Smart TV without having to split the screen.

The new Cinema 3D Smart TVs offer a variety of connectivity features. The newest among them is Wireless Display, which enables easy and quick connection between TV and personal computer (PC) with Intel’s WiDi Technology. The 2D to 3D conversion engine converts all existing 2D movies and TV shows into 3D. “LG will be introducing an 84’’ Cinema 3D Smart TV in the second half of this year,” Kim added.
Video Home & Jumbo Electronics executive director Sajed Jassim Sulaiman said the new line-up would be priced in the range of QR12,000 to QR15,000.

Assistant general manager Mohamed Anis added that LG has a 25% market share in the 3D TV segment in Qatar. South Korean ambassador Chang See Jeong, Video Home & Jumbo Electronics vice-chairman and managing director Jassim M Sulaiman, and LG Electronics Gulf Audio Video Division general manager Jungkil Park were also present. The new 2012 Cinema 3D Smart TV Series from LG is available throughout Qatar in all leading hypermarkets and retail stores.

LuLu Hypermarket regional director Mohamed Althaf said the event is a ‘timely effort’ at promoting Asean ethnic foods among the communities in Qatar.

“Asean countries are playing a vital role in food safety and we are looking forward to co-operating more with our partners from the Asean region to accelerate imports,” he said.

Acclaimed film ‘Take Shelter’ Screens for First Time in Gulf

2012-04-28T20:40:00.002-07:00

8 May - 14 May 2012

05:30:pm - 10:30:pm

Katara Drama Theatre - Bldg 16

Free Admission

Katara and Doha Film Institute (DFI) will present a one-week theatrical release of ‘Take Shelter’, the highly acclaimed ‘indie’ dramatic thriller. Never previously screened in the Gulf, the film swept multiple festival awards in 2011, including the Grand Prize at the Cannes Critics Week.

Independent director Jeff Nichols’ ‘Take Shelter’ taps into the wave of generalized anxiety that currently runs through American life: the economy, unstable weather patterns, crime and social breakdown, conspire to drive devoted father and husband Curtis to extreme measures. Oscar nominee® Michael Shannon (Boardwalk Empire, Revolutionary Road ) plays the male lead, alongside rising star and Oscar® nominee Jessica Chastain (The Help, Tree of Life). Jeff Nichols’ latest feature film, ‘Mud’ starring Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon, is one of 22 films vying for the Palme d’Or in the 2012 Cannes Film Festival’s main competition.

Screenings of Take Shelter will take place daily from May 8 to 14 at the Katara Cultural Village Drama Theatre (Building 16). This release is supported by the film’s Middle East distributor, Italia Film. For show timings and ticket details, please consult the DFI website: www.dohafilminstitute.com and Katara website www.katara.net or DFI box office located in Katara, building 26.

Thakira(Dhakira) Salt Marsh and Estuary in North Alkhor Qatar

2012-04-28T19:45:00.001-07:00

Thakira is a small village located a few kilometres to the North of Al Khor. Like many of Qatar's towns it has tripled in size over the last few years, and it is becoming more difficult to navigate your way through the maze of half-built houses to get to the shore side. If you are a nature lover, though, it is well worth doing so, as the vista is completely different from much of the rest of Qatar.

Thakira-Sunset time Qatar

Thakira not only rests on the edge of an estuary, it is also home to mangrove swamps. While, because of the extremely high saline content of the sea in this area, the mangroves are not as large as in other countries, they are probably the most established in Qatar.

If you are out for a quite time you may just wish to take a couple of photos, have a stroll around the jetty, chat to some local fishermen and enjoy the unusual peace. However if you are more adventurous you might fancy a bit of swamp snorkeling.

The snorkeling is not quit as dramatic as over a reef, and is often in very shallow water. Once you get into the swamps you often have to pull yourself along by the roots of the mangroves. (Expect to collect a few scratches along the way!) The visibility of the water is poor, and the effect can be quite scary as the mangroves loom above - you should, however, be able to see plenty of the small fish that inhabit the swamps.

Thakira-Mangroves Qatar

At low tide you might want to get out into the swamps to explore the wildlife here. There's plenty to see here, from kingfishers and marsh harriers to exotic sea slugs - including a new species of sea slug discovered on a Qatar Natural History Group expedition.

If you have a four wheel drive you could also choose to cross the swamps at low tide, park at the wadi and enjoy the beach opposite Al Thakira. If you do so, take care: one trip ended in disaster when the cars involved got stuck in the face of an advancing tide, and ended up having to be rescued. The pictures of the abandoned cars made the front page of the next day's Gulf Times!

After enjoying the mangrove swamps, try stopping at Al Khor on the way back to Doha to enjoy the beach - and some great Turkish food along Main Street.
