Japaneseshow wins hearts

Presenting 12 scenes from Japanese popular theatre, Kengeki Harukomaza effectively brought stories from the Land of the Rising Sun to the people of Qatar through dance - a language everyone understands.

By Raynald C Rivera

With their flamboyant kimonos, charming facial expressions and movements Kengeki

Harukomaza – a 15-member theatri-cal troupe from Japan staged a truly captivating show of Japanese culture earning rousing applauses and stand-ing ovation from hundreds of people who attended their performance at the Katara Drama Theatre. They per-formed on Monday and Tuesday.

Presenting 12 scenes from Japanese popular theatre, the group which exuded expertise in their craft effec-tively brought stories from the Land of the Rising Sun to the people of Qatar through dance – a language everyone understands.

The stellar performances of the group headed by charismatic per-former Ryu Tsugawa was testament on how dance has been deeply ingrained in Japan’s history as a nation with great

significance to their society’s cultural makeup.

It was a sight to behold as the per-formers garbed in kimonos repre-senting various periods came out of Ukiyo-e during the first scene. Ukiyo-e is a form of visual art and a genre of Japanese woodblock prints or paintings between 17th to 20th centuries.

Literally ukiyo means ‘floating world’ which refers to a temporary world of fleeting beauty and entertainment and the expert performers showcased this how they carried themselves wearing the costumes as they danced magically to the music.

The audience could almost smell the flowers and see verdant surroundings as the troupe danced ‘Flower Festival’ representing a very important cel-ebration which is annually observed by the Japanese people despite their busy schedules. This was comple-mented by another item titled ‘Sakura Sakura’ referring to the breathtakingly

awe-inspiring cherry blossom that blooms copiously all over the country.

Equally charming was ‘Renjisi’ the dance of the white lion (parent) and red lion (baby) based on the tale that says that the lion, the king of beasts, only raises babies that climb up the cliff after having been thrown into the deep valley.

Gallant men in their crested black kimonos, said to be one of the most for-mal of Japanese dresses, displayed their dancing prowess in ‘Sword Dance’ and ‘Sword Fight’ which was a display of the long-held Japanese martial arts tradition. Not only they were excellent dancers and actors but also exceptional singers having proved their strong vocal prowess in a medley of Japanese folk songs which also included ‘Sohran’ dedicated to fishermen.

The finale was a fitting conclusion to the one-hour show as beautiful ladies of the 17th and 19th century Japan paraded in their kimonos.

The show has also served as an osten-tatious display of various kimonos, the Japanese traditional garment which is a vital element of Japanese theatre. It is said it normally takes more than an hour to wear a kimono, and Japanese Ambassador Kenjiro Monji himself said it took him one and a half hour to wear kimono for the event but the troupe impressed the audience with their quick change as every scene required a differ-ent kimono.

The actors and actresses also marked a distinctive impression as they showed off their impressive talent in the way they quickly adopted to their various roles with men dressing up as women and vice versa.

As an integral part of the series of activities for the year-long Qatar Japan 2012 celebrating 40 years of friendship between the two countries, Ambassador Monji said the show was a gesture of gratitude for the assistance Qatar

extended to Japan during the recent calamities.

“Through this form of popular Japanese theatre, we want to express gratitude to Qatar for supporting Japan after the earthquake and tsunami. This is a very interesting collabora-tion among famous theatre actors and revue actresses in such a big scale rarely seen even in Japan,” said the Japanese Ambassador.

“Since the beginning of the year we have been doing quite a lot of events in collaboration with Qatar and we are very pleased that through these events the understanding of Japanese culture of Qataris and people in Qatar in gen-eral are much more reinforced,” he added.

Among the other events held in con-nection with the celebrations were ‘Ego’ exhibition featuring renowned Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, ‘Wadaiko’ Japanese dance performance, photo

expo on Japan’s earthquake recovery, Japan Music project and a series of Japanese film showcase by Doha Film Institute. In parallel to events in Qatar, other activities are also being held in Japan such as the ‘Pearls Jewels from the Sea’ expo, Qatar Week: Ferjaan in Tokyo’ and Pop-Up Mathaf.

Held under the patronage of H E Dr Hamad bin Abdulaziz Al Kuwari, Minister of Culture, Arts and Heritage, “Japanese Dance and Music –Omnibus from Popular Theatre Scenes” was organised by the Japanese Embassy in coopera-tion with the Human and Cultural Exchange General Incorporated Association with the support of Katara.

The show which was especially made for the performance in Qatar also demonstrates that Japan is well on its way to recovery with full energy. The Peninsula

Hundreds offamilies switchoff mobiles for‘A Day Offline’

Hundreds of families partici-pated in McDonald’s Qatar ‘A Day Offline’ campaign on Friday, September 28, turn-

ing off their mobile phones, computers and television sets to spend the day with family.

Before the event, McDonald’s Qatar distributed more than 50,000 phone vaults – phone-sized containers with adhesive closures – to store devices during family time. Four McDonald’s branches across Qatar hosted more than 5,000 customers and special guests for activities for the whole family.

Based on the success of the cam-paign, McDonald’s has committed to make ‘A Day Offline’ an annual initiative whereby the organisation will devote one day every September to celebrat-ing the importance of uninterrupted family time.

The Managing Director of Al Mana Restaurants and Food Company, Kamal Saleh Al Mana , commented that “when we first conceived of this initia-tive –a campaign designed to recon-nect mums, dads, children and loved ones without technological distrac-tions– we suspected it would be well received. However, to witness such an overwhelmingly positive response from hundreds of families across Qatar has been incredibly moving”.

He added that “we at McDonald’s believe in cultivating family relation-ships and are in a fortunate position tolend our voice and support to this great cause. We feel privileged to have been a part of this initiative, and we are hopeful that families across the country and throughout the remainder of the region will feel inspired to carry this concept forward in the weeks and months that follow”.

Professor Simon Judd, the new Maersk Oil Professorial Chair in Environmental

Engineering, within the Department of Chemical Engineering at Qatar University (QU), presented a semi-nar on oil and gas industry waste-water treatment using membrane technology. The meeting explored the application of membrane sepa-ration processes – a technology of significant importance to oil and gas operators both in Qatar, and globally.

With a focus on protecting Qatar’s marine habitats, Qatar University and Maersk Oil Qatar signed an agreement in 2011 to establish the ‘Maersk Oil Chair in Environmental Engineering’, a dedicated faculty chair to support offshore environmental studies.

Professor Judd joins QU on assignment from the Cranfield Water Science Institute at Cranfield University in the UK. Speaking at the seminar he said: “As the Maersk Oil Professorial Chair in Environmental Engineering, I will be lecturing and working with QU students, and seeking opportuni-ties to deliver applied research and technology development that helps to minimise environmental impact on the marine environment. The Chair will provide a valuable link between local education institutes and industry.”

With over 22 years’ experience in academic and industrial research and development, incorporating all aspects of water and wastewater treatment - but focused primarily on membrane technology, Professor Judd has a proven track record of

research and of interaction with industry. He has managed over 15 long-term consortium projects for UK and overseas water utilities, consulting and contracting clients, and has supervised more than 20 doctorate programmes and more than 80 masters thesis projects. He has authored/co-authored 131 pub-lications in peer-reviewed journals, and has produced six text/reference books

Membrane technologies are increasingly employed in the oil and gas industries for the treat-ment of wastewaters arising from both “upstream” (oil exploration) and “downstream” (refining and petrochemical) processes. The sem-inar apprised a number of mem-brane separation processes – such as membrane bioreactors (MBRs), which have been employed for the

advanced treatment of petrochemi-cal wastewaters, to ceramic cross-flow ultra/microfilters which have been trialed on offshore installa-tions for advanced removal of sus-pended materials from produced water.

ExxonMobil Qatar joined with the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development to participate in its Annual Research Forum, high-

lighting the commitment of both organisations to support Qatar’s transition to a knowledge-based economy by emphasising scientific research. Celebrating its third year, the event was held from October 21 – 23, 2012 at the Qatar National Convention Center.

ExxonMobil’s involvement included two presen-tations, eight posters, including one co-authored with Qatar Petroleum Research and Qatar University, as well as a large exhibition space that provided an overview of ExxonMobil Research Qatar’s (EMRQ) signature research programmes.

“With its investment of more than QR218m through 2014, EMRQ demonstrates its ongoing commitment to conducting research in areas of common interest to the State of Qatar and ExxonMobil,” said Dr Andrew Wigton, Director of ExxonMobil Research Qatar.

Research activities featured within the EMRQ exhibition space covered many topics that are core to its key areas of work. In terms of LNG safety research, EMRQ displayed 3-dimentional inter-active models of typical industrial settings and provided an overview of how technology is being used to simulate actual work scenarios in the oil and gas industry using an advanced 3D immersive training environment.

Additionally, EMRQ highlighted work from the EMRQ Qatar Center for Coastal Research

programme which conducts breakthrough research in the use of modern analogues for geological mod-eling. The Qatar Center for Coastal Research col-lects data from modern coastal systems of Qatar and uses this along with high resolution satellite images to build more refined, geo-cellular models

of ancient oil and gas reservoirs. EMRQ also demonstrated how technology

advances are helping understand and manage the potential environmental impacts to marine resources from oil and gas and other industrial operations. The Peninsula

HSBC has launched recently its first “Women’s Networking Forum” for its female employees across the

Middle East. The forum is designed to support HSBC’s gender diversity strat-egy to increase the representation of women at a senior management level within the organisation.

Abdul Hakeem Mostafawi, CEO of HSBC Qatar said: “HSBC is making a real commitment to diversity, in the recognition that it is essential to our business. When I look at the young people who join our Qatari graduate management trainee programme, the calibre of women coming through is truly impressive. With the extra sup-port of our diversity programme, I am absolutely confident we will continue to see an increasing number of female employees working their way to sen-ior management positions in the near future.”

The Women’s Networking Forum will give HSBC’s female staff an opportunity to focus on their career aspirations and on the development of the skills which will get them there. The forums will include ses-sions focusing on “Speed Networking”, “Personal Branding”, “Navigating the Organisation” and “Balance: work and life outside work”

Francesca McDonagh, Regional Head of Retail Banking and Wealth Management and Executive Sponsor of the HSBC Middle East Women’s

Network Forum, said: “After 15 years at the bank in a number of different roles across different regions, I know from my own experience that HSBC offers tremendous employment oppor-tunities for talented and determined women. We offer the experiences and development opportunities of an inter-national bank, together with a stated commitment to identify, support and develop the next generation of female leaders”.

Across MENA, 1 in 5 of HSBC’s senior managers is a woman. The goal is to improve that to 1 in 4 by the end of 2014. To support its aims in the region, HSBC has introduced a number of market leading employment policies to help women to achieve their career goals including flexible work-ing options, improved maternity leave provision of up to 6 months, diversity awareness training for all managers and career development programmes

for women. “I know from my experience in the

Middle East that there are many tal-ented women who perhaps have not considered a role in banking. We aim to dispel any illusion that banking is a career best suited for men. At HSBC we are putting a lot of hard work behind creating a working environ-ment which really motivates and sup-ports women to succeed,” McDonagh added. The Peninsula

Aspirin may arrest declining mental capacity

A daily dose of acetylsalicylic acid, as big as a fourth of an aspirin, may arrest declining mental capacity among the elderly with high cardiovascular risk, says a new study.Researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, over a five year period studied how intellectual capacity changes among 681 elderly women (70 to 92 years) with heightened risk of suffering from a heart attack, vascular spasm or stroke.

Of the 681 women, 129 received a low daily dose of acetylsalicylic acid, to prevent heart disease.The Gothenburg study shows that the drug also slowed decline in brain capacity among the elderly

women, the British Medical Journal Open reported.The women underwent various tests to measure their physical health and intellectual capacity, such

as language and memory tests, according to a Sahlgrenska statement.“At the end of the five year examination period mental capacity had declined among all the women

and the portion that suffered from dementia was equally large in the entire group,” said Silke Kern, Sahlgrenska researcher. “The decline in brain capacity was significantly less and occurred at a slower pace among the women who received acetylsalicylic acid,” said Kern. IANS

Downing a cup of beans or lentils every day may help people with type 2 diabetes con-

trol their blood sugar and pos-sibly reduce their risk of heart attacks and stroke, according to a small study out today.

Researchers found that com-pared with a diet rich in whole grains, getting a daily dose of legumes led to small drops in an important measure of blood sugar as well as in blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

After three months on the bean diet, study participants’ estimated 10-year risk of car-diovascular disease had fallen from 10.7 percent to 9.6 percent, according to findings in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

“Legumes are good protein sources, and proteins tend to dampen the blood glucose response and they lower blood pressure,” said Dr David Jenkins of St Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, who led the work.

“They are also good sources of fiber and that tends to be associ-ated with lower cholesterol,” he said.

Jenkins said that even though the drops were not huge, they were impressive in part because the whole-grain comparison diet is a healthy one and in part because people in the study were already on diabetes and blood pressure drugs.

“We hope that this could be the point that allows you to delay medication use,” Jenkins said. But, he added, “if we can keep people on medications throughout their life and not have complications of diabetes, we have won.”

Legumes such as beans, chick-peas and lentils are already rec-ommended for diabetics due to

their low glycemic index, a meas-ure of how far and how fast a given food sends up blood sugar. But there are few studies of their direct effects in diabetes, accord-ing to Jenkins and his colleagues.

They divided 121 people with diabetes into two groups, one of which was instructed to up their intake of cooked legumes by at least a cup a day. The other was told to eat more whole wheat products to boost their fiber intake.

After three months, the researchers found that hemo-globin A1c levels had dropped from 7.4 percent to 6.9 percent in people eating beans, while it had fallen from 7.2 percent to 6.9 percent in those getting extra whole wheat.

The number reflects the aver-age blood sugar levels over the past two to three months and experts recommend keeping it under seven percent.

“We were able to drop them into the 6s where you want them,” said Jenkins. He added that US health regulators con-sider a change of 0.3 or 0.4 percentage points to be “thera-peutically relevant.”

The larger reduction seen with legumes as opposed to whole wheat - 0.2 percentage points

- was statistically reliable, but it is unclear exactly what it means for diabetics.

There was no reduction in blood pressure with extra whole wheat, but a drop from 122 to 118 points in systolic blood pressure (the top number) with legumes and from 72 to 69 in diastolic (the bottom number). Blood pressure readings are considered normal if they are no more 120 over 80.

Given the lower blood pres-sure, Jenkins and his colleagues calculated that diabetics getting a daily dose of beans would lower their 10-year risk of heart attack or stroke by just under one per-centage point compared with people eating whole wheat.

By comparison, cholesterol-lowering drugs are thought to cut 10-year cardiovascular risk by about 20 percent - or two per-centage points in people with a baseline risk of 10 percent.

The study didn’t find any more gastrointestinal complaints in the legume group, apparently deflating the notion that down-ing lots of beans leads to exces-sive flatulence. Jenkins did warn, however, that the comparison group also got a lot of fiber, which could have drowned out a poten-tial effect.

Breast Ultrasound (Sonomammography)

from DO

Bre(So

October is breast cancer awareness month, which especially relevant since breast can-cer is the leading cause of cancer among women in Qatar *.

In our series of articles dedicated to ultrasound in women, this week our focus will be on breast ultrasound.

*As published in the Asian Pacific Journal Of Cancer Prevention. 2008 Jan-Mar;9(1):19-24

When should a breast ultrasound be performed?

As opposed to a mammography, son-omammography can be performed anytime during the menstrual cycle with no special preparation.

How is a breast ultrasound performed?

A special probe (linear, high frequency probe) is used to scan the entire breast(s) and the sur-rounding area which includes the armpit(s) (axil-lary region).

Why should a breast ultrasound be performed?The American College of Radiology recommends

breast ultrasounds for women: a. A breast lump (mass) can be felt or a general

lumpiness in the breastb. In high risk patients (eg: family history for

breast cancer, past history of breast cancer) < 30 years of age.

c. Any problems in ladies’ with breast implant’sd. Additional method to evaluate the breast,

when mammography (special x-ray/radiograph of the breast), is unclear.

e. Taking a tissue sample from the mass in the breast or armpit (axillary region), using a needle (biopsy).

Who performs a breast ultrasound?A trained doctor or technician, in the field of

radiology or ultrasound. If a technician preforms the ultrasound the doctor/radiologist will review the pictures (images) and generate a report.

Can breast ultrasound be performed in men?Yes. Breast ultrasound is usually performed,

alongside mammography. Ultrasound instructions1. Visit your radiologist, 15 minutes earlier than

your appointed time.2. Bring your previous ultrasound reports with

you. 3. A physician/doctor should examine the

breast(s), before performing an ultrasound (scan).

W Hotel offers environment friendly packages

W Doha Hotel & Residences encour-ages its guests to send a message of support about the future of the planet with a range of hotel initiatives such as waste elimination and power saving; all offered with a stylish twist that befits the hotel’s status as the first lifestyle hotel in Qatar.

One example of this green out-look are the ‘Sustainable Meeting’ packages on offer, that empower guests to make their own contri-bution to minimizing waste and boosting recycling. These green meetings use paperless sales tools to cut down on printing in addi-tion to personalized reservation websites and electronic menus, proposals, brochures and invoices.

In the meeting itself, guests will be offered ‘Clutter Free’ set-ups where pads of paper, pens and mints are set as stations instead of at each setting to reduce waste. Where possible, only recy-cled paper is used, with a focus on reducing the usage of linen and paper waste with all guests encouraged to recycle throughout the session.

In addition, appetites will be sated with a specially designed ‘Green Menu’ that offers sustain-able, fresh and healthy meeting snacks such as Falafel wrap with fresh mint, Chick peas dip with crispy Arabic bread, Museli with honey granola and fresh yoghurt, Laban pancake and Spinach and pine nut quiche served with coffee, tea and chilled juices.

Each of the guest rooms is equipped with a key card insertion device that controls the occupancy energy activation system, whilst the hotel’s green linen program allows guests to opt not to have their linen and terry changed daily, whilst the water faucets are designed to reduce water consumption. The lighting in all public spaces is controlled by a central dimming system known as ‘ilight’, which adjusts the light to the intensity of the natural light at that time of day. From the moment they enter the property, the W hotel staff are introduced to the hotel’s green council and energy conservation toolkit with the objective of fostering a culture of environmental responsibility amongst the staff. Earlier this year W Doha went dark for Earth Hour 2012, marking Starwood’s fourth annual participation in Earth Hour, making it one of the biggest worldwide companies to make a global statement with a voluntary hour of darkness. The Peninsula

Red, the Governor West Bay Hotel’s in-house restaurant which recently opened its doors to the public, has scored a first in Qatar by offering diners the largest pizza in the country.

The casual dining restaurant serves four varieties of popular cuisine under one roof including Indian food cooked in a Tandoor Oven, American-style Burgers including a Camel Burger, a range of Arabic food and its attention grabbing range of pizzas.

Qatar’s largest pizza, now being served at Red, measures 60cm and offers pizza lovers a delightful oppor-tunity to share a family dining experi-ence over a unique meal or an evening

with friends complete with an ‘all you can eat’ challenge.

“The new pizza is the highlight of the restaurant. We are thrilled that it’s a first in Qatar. Large is an under-statement when it comes to describing its size,” said Rene Vincent-Ernst, the General Manager of Governor West Bay Hotel.

With an assortment of unique top-pings including vegetarian, seafood and meat toppings, this pizza is set to win the hearts of food connoisseurs around the country, he said, adding many memorable family moments are centered on good food and this large pizza is perfect for families to share.

The pizzas can also be customised to the liking of each diner’s tastes and preferences and be prepared in a way that it has up to two flavours and dif-ferent toppings on each half.

“With Red, we have introduced a new and unique dining concept in Qatar; one large restaurant with four different cooking stations, each serving different cuisine. We realise that the country has a wide variety of residents from all parts of the globe and a local population with a keen sense and awareness of different types of food. So we fashioned this restaurant’s concept around that,” he explained.

The Peninsula

Qatar-based Al Arabiya Restaurants Management Co, owned by celebrity Qatari journalist and

Al Jazeera presenter Mohammed Saadon Al Kuwari and Ali Turki Al Sobai, has inked a partnership agreement with Schärf Coffeeshop Company, a premium global coffee retail chain based in Austria.

The agreement, signed in Austria early this month, would see the opening of branches of Coffeeshop Company in Saudi Arabia and Qatar in the coming 10 years.

“We are pleased to sign this part-nership with Schärf Coffeeshop and gain the rights of Coffeeshop Company in the gulf market. We will work together to showcase the Arab Coffee values and concepts which inspired this art of coffee making and was well received around the world. We expect to contribute to the thriving coffee culture and expand

the choices for connoisseurs in KSA and Qatar, among the leading mar-kets in Arab region and Gulf. We are planning to open 10 branches in Qatar and 20 branches in KSA in the coming decade, with inaugural branch opening Q1 of 2013,” said Al Kuwari.

Al Kuwari also praised his KSA partner Saif Al Saif for his exper-tise in the restaurant chain business, calling him the absolute fit for our strategy for KSA.

“We are extremely excited about this partnership which will widen the choice for the coffee aficionados with the introduction of Coffeeshop Company in the two countries with a strong heritage of Coffee. We are looking to steadily launch our serv-ices in Qatar and KSA in the coming months,” said Al Sobai.

“In the GCC people like to experi-ment with their coffee by indulging in new tastes and flavors, and our

cafes will be the perfect places to fulfill these coffee needs of people across all age groups. The strategy of next phase is to expand our pres-ence in Qatar and KSA markets, being the two leading markets in the MENA region,” said Dr Alexander Schärf, owner of Schärf Coffeeshop Company.

“We are in the process of per-fecting a special beverage for the Qatar and KSA markets, composed of a unique blend of milk and tea. The snack selection will be localized keeping in mind the khaliji tastes and will also have global flavors which are standard across all the Coffeeshop Company chain across the world. Our partners comple-ment our core values and this cer-emony will mark the beginning of a long and lasting relationship of Coffeeshop Company with the region,” he added.

By Sarah Mills

Singer Mick Jagger said the Rolling Stones had rehearsed around 70 songs for a series of 50th anni-versary concerts later this year, and guitarist Keith Richards

assured fans the veteran British rockers would “deliver”.

The four Stones appeared on the red carpet on Thursday for the world premiere of “Crossfire Hurricane”, a documentary charting the meteoric rise to fame and fortune following their debut in London in 1962.

Jagger, who is 69, Richards, fellow gui-tarist Ronnie Wood and drummer Charlie Watts posed for photographers before speaking to the media on their way into the movie theatre in London’s Leicester Square.

“Rehearsals are going very well, (we’ve) done about 70 different songs,” Jagger told reporters. “I said, ‘look, we only need to do 30, we don’t need to do 70, but now we are doing 70. I don’t know if we will do them all.”

Richards added of the upcoming gigs in London and New York: “You know, we are looking forward to a great time. See, it’s a two-way thing. It’s to do with all these people and it’s to do with us, we will deliver alright - one love.”

The band, one of the most successful in rock history and behind songs like (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, Honky Tonk Women and Angie, is marking its 50th birthday with a greatest hits album, photo book, exhibitions, documentary and gigs.

The Stones will play the O2 Arena in London on November 25 and 29 before crossing the Atlantic to perform at the Prudential Center, Newark, on December 13 and 15. Jagger has hinted that the band could play more dates in the future.

Tickets to the London dates go on general sale on Friday, although priority customers, including Amex card users and subscribers to the Stones archive mailing list, have been able to by some of them earlier.

Fans have voiced anger at the ticketing system and reports of prices ranging from £95 ($152) to as much as £950 ($1,520) for a “VIP hospitality” seat.

At the film premiere, hundreds of fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the band members who signed autographs on their way in.

While clearly enamoured with their musical heroes, some in the crowd were unhappy about the concert ticket prices.

“Too much, against rock and roll ethics if you ask me,” said Valantina Bertezzi, a 29-year-old who had taken the day off work to see the Stones. “(They) should be cheaper and more for the people than ‘American Express People’.”

Crossfire Hurricane, screened as part of the London film festival, is drawn entirely from archive footage and attempts to rec-reate what it was like to be on stage and backstage amid riotous noise and screams of adulation. Jagger said it looked “like a pretty mad ride”.

Critics praised its portrayal of the Stones in the 1960s and 70s, when many music crit-ics argue they were at the peak of their pow-ers untainted by commercialism.

“Millions of fans will doubtless indulge these elderly gentleman rebels as they engage in yet another round of lucrative myth-making,” wrote The

Hollywood Reporter’s Stephen Dalton in a review. “In other words, Crossfire Hurricane is business as usual from the Stones, and good fun on its own terms.

However, anyone expecting buried treasure or fresh insights into ancient rock folklore will get no satisfaction here.” Reuters

Apple unveiled a smaller version of its hot-selling iPad yesterday, jump-ing into the market for

smaller tablet computers domi-nated by Amazon, Google, and Samsung. “This is iPad mini,” Apple’s senior vice president for marketing Phil Schiller said as he displayed the new iPad at an Apple event in San Jose.

“This isn’t just a shrunken down iPad,” Schiller said. “It is an entirely new design.”

The iPad mini’s touchscreen measures 7.9 inches diagonally compared to 9.7 inches on the original iPad.

A 16-gigabyte version of the iPad mini with Wi-Fi connectivity costs $329 dollars while a 16GB model with both Wi-Fi and cellular capa-bility costs $459.

The top-of-the-line 64GB iPad mini with Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity costs $659. The new Apple tablet also features rear- and front-facing cameras like later versions of the original iPad.

Schiller said customers could begin pre-ordering the iPad mini on October 26 and Wi-Fi versions would begin shipping on November 2 to about three dozen countries in Asia and Europe in addition to the United States.

Schiller said the iPad mini weighs 0.68 pounds, is just 7.2mm thick -- thinner than a pencil -- and comes in both black and white models.

“We told you early this year that you would see some incred-ible innovation from Apple across the year,” said Apple chief execu-tive Tim Cook, who replaced Steve Jobs last year at the head of the

California technology company.“We think we kept our promise

and we hope that you agree,” Cook said.

Apple also unveiled a fourth generation of the original iPad on Tuesday for the same starting price of $499 for a 16GB model with Wi-Fi connectivity.

Cook said Apple has sold over 100 million iPads in two and a half years.

He also said more than 275,000 applications were now available for the iPad in Apple’s App Store and that customers have downloaded a total of more than 35 billion apps.

Apple set the tablet computer market ablaze with the first iPad in early 2010 and stuck with its 9.7-inch screen while rivals introduced lower-price tablets with screens closer to seven inches.

Amazon’s seven-inch Kindle Fire proved popular last year, and a new version was launched last month.

Meanwhile, a Google Nexus 7 powered by Android software joined the Samsung Galaxy in the seven-inch tablet market.

The unveiling of the iPad mini comes a little over a month after Apple released the iPhone 5, the latest model of its iconic smart-phone, which was greeted with record sales.

The event also comes three days ahead of the release of Microsoft’s new Windows-powered Surface tablet and two days before Apple reports quarterly earnings.

Microsoft’s Surface has a 10.6-inch screen and starts at $499, challenging the larger-format iPads. Reuters
