Jue 2016 Jue 2016 ultra moder or traditioally itricate, what makes a mosque a mosque? the moder mosque As a place of worship for Muslims worldwide, its desig usually features typical ad ofte traditioal elemets icludig the dome ad miarets. From Idoesia to the UK, the mosque i its may forms is the quitessetial Islamic buildig. The mosque, masjid i Arabic, is the Muslim gatherig place for prayer. Masjid simply meas place of prostratio. Desigig a mosque ivolves very specific challeges for architects, but Muslim scripture is vague whe it comes to mosque desig. The oly rules it seems, are that the buildig must face Mecca ad be guarded from eemies, leavig experimetal architects free to push boudaries ad play with moder materials ad ew techologies. Util recetly, mosques have bee coservative i style, employig wellrecogised, traditioal forms ad aesthetic details. However, as we cotiually move towards cotemporary desig i all aspects of our lives ad eviromet, we take a look at how the mosque is keepig up with architectural treds. The most fudametal ecessity of cogregatioal mosque architecture is that it be able to hold the etire male populatio of a city or tow (wome are ot required to atted Friday prayers). To that ed, the mosque must have a large prayer hall. Usually, this is adjoied to a ope courtyard, called a sah. Withi the courtyard oe ofte fids a foutai, its waters both a welcome respite i hot lads ad importat for ritual cleasig, doe before prayer. Oe of the most visible aspects of mosque architecture is the miaret, a tower adjacet or attached to a mosque, from which the call to prayer is aouced. These ca take may differet forms, from the famous spiral miaret of Samarra to the tall, pecil miarets of Ottoma Turkey. Not solely fuctioal i ature, the miaret serves as a powerful visual remider of the presece of Islam. Aother essetial elemet is a mihrab - a iche i the wall that idicates the directio of Mecca. Fially, while ot a ritual requiremet like the mihrab, the dome. A symbolic represetatio of the vault of heave. Today s mosques play a vital role i everyday commuity life, providig a sese of eighbourhood solidarity ad servig a wide rage of activities, ad ted to icorporate cultural hubs, religious schools ad coferece halls, while actig as commuity cetres. This broader fuctioality of course affects how architects desig the ew buildigs. Some mosques iclude secular shops ad restaurats to draw i o-muslims or sports clubs, aimig to help lure youg people away from drugs ad gags. The call for prayer, which caot be audibly broadcast i much of the wester world, by ecessity must evolve - for example a mosque i Marseilles uses a miaret equipped with blikig lights to alert the faithful to prayer, ad cotiuous advacemets i speaker ad microphoe techology replace the fuctioality of the miaret ad the mibar. Moder mosques are attractig youger geeratios who feel a coectio with cotemporary desig ad expaded fuctioality, ad major cities like ours i the UAE look set to ot oly embrace these ew ad excitig architectural icos but to also build some ew ad groudbreakig desigs. 6 Hackey Mosque, located i Lodo, desiged by Make space architects. It is a three-storey cotemporary additio to a existig mosque Rux Desig has take a step beyod the cotemporary mosque to create a structure that is visually cofusig. The Vaishig mosque is a miimalist ope-air place of worship set withi a agular urba courtyard, proposed for Dubai. The Halide Edip Adivar Mosque by Maco Architects i Istabul fuses private ad public spaces. The focal poit is a pixelated cocrete box that trasforms the mosque ito a urba later by ight. 7

Jue 2016 Jue 2016 recipe corer Go raw with Gazpacho Ove-roasted Seabass recipe corer 10 There is othig as light ad refreshig as a bowl of gazpacho especially as temperatures rise. It s cool, it s hot, it s sweet, it s sour. It will take your taste buds for a joy ride they will ot forget. It is also icredibly healthy ad light. Igrediets: 6 ripe tomatoes (about 3 lbs), peeled ad chopped (yieldig about 6 cups), 1 red oio, fiely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups), 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, chopped (about 1 cup), 1 sweet red bell pepper (or gree) seeded ad chopped (about 1 cup), 2 stalks celery, chopped (about 1 cup), 1-2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives, 1 clove garlic, miced (about 1 teaspoo), 1/4 cup red wie viegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemo juice, 2 tsp sugar (more may be eeded to balace out the acidity of the tomatoes, add to taste), Salt ad fresh groud pepper to taste, 6 or more drops of Tabasco sauce to taste, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (omit for vegetaria optio), 2 cups tomato juice (or 1 15-ouce ca crushed tomatoes if you do t have tomato juice) Method: Place all igrediets i a large bowl. Use a immersio bleder or bled i batches, to desired smoothess. If you prefer somewhat chukier gazpacho pulse oly a few times i the bleder. Adjust seasoigs to taste. Place i a o-reactive cotaier (tomatoes are acidic) to store. Chill several hours or overight to allow the flavours to icorporate better. HISTORY Gazpacho has aciet roots. There are a umber of theories of its origi, icludig as a soup of bread, olive oil, water ad garlic that arrived i Spai ad Portugal with the Romas ad also with the additio of viegar. Oce i Spai, it became a part of Adalusia cuisie, particularly Córdoba ad Seville, usig stale bread, garlic, olive oil, salt, ad viegar, similar to ajoblaco. There are may moder variatios of gazpacho, ofte i differet colours ad omittig the tomatoes ad bread i favour of avocados, cucumbers, parsley, watermelo, grapes, meat stock, seafood, ad other igrediets. Fish is a ideal mai to satisfy your huger without beig too fillig ad leavig you bloated. Grillig the whole fish ad eatig off the boe slows dow the eatig process ecouragig a healthier digestio ad of course all that ski is full of utriets so do t push it to oe side. Place the your grilled fish o top of some iro rich spiach or kale with a side of quioa ad you have a meal packed with essetial daily utriets. Igrediets: 2 whole sea bass, gutted, gilled, scaled, ad fis removed, coarse sea salt ad freshly groud black pepper, 1/4 cup extra-virgi olive oil, plus more for bakig dish, 2 sprigs fresh thyme, 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, 2 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley, 6 fresh bay leaves, 1/2 cup thily sliced sprig oios, juice of 1 lemo Method: Lightly slash the fish flesh 4 times o each side ad seaso iside ad out with salt ad pepper. Cover with cligfilm, ad refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat ove to 230 C. Lightly brush a bakig dish with oil - make sure they have room o all sides. Divide thyme, rosemary, ad parsley evely betwee each fish, ad place iside cavity. Place 2 bay leaves i cavity of each fish, ad place remaiig 2 bay leaves i bakig dish. Sprikle oios over ad aroud fish; drizzle with olive oil. Trasfer to ove ad roast 15 mis. Cotiue to roast, checkig every few miutes, util the thickest part of the fish is just firm, about 5 mis more. Drizzle with lemo juice ad the pa juices before layig o a bed of wilted spiach or kale before servig. LOOK FOR There is o uiversal seafood labellig system for grocery stores, restaurats, or fish markets, so buyig eco-friedly fish ofte requires a little diligece o your part. Beig iformed ad kowig your seafood is the best way to arm yourself agaist fraud. Some thigs that should raise red flags are: A price too good to be true for a highly desired fish like red sapper or grouper. Out-of-seaso fish, like wild salmo from Alaska, beig sold fresh i witer moths. Wacky labels you kow ot to be true, such as farmed Chilea seabass (oly caught i the wild) or wild Atlatic salmo (a edagered species ad ot commercially available). 11

Jue 2016 Jue 2016 SMOOTHIE Smoothies have become icreasigly popular worldwide sice the 1990s, due i part to beig factory-produced (usually i bottles), eablig them to be sold via supermarkets ad other mass-market outlets. However, they have a much loger history i various coutries. Health food stores o the West Coast of the Uited States bega sellig smoothies i the 1930s, thaks to the ivetio of the electric bleder. The actual term smoothie was i use i recipes ad trademarks by the mid-1930s. By the late 1960s, smoothies were widely sold across the US by ice cream vedors as well as health food stores. They were maily made from fruit, fruit juice, ad ice, though from the early 1970s, ice milk was sometimes added to create the fruit shake. Kale - Look for kale with firm, deeply coloured leaves ad moist hardy stems. Kale should be displayed i a cool eviromet sice warm temperatures will cause it to wilt ad will egatively affect its flavour. The leaves should look fresh, be uwilted, ad be free from sigs of browig, yellowig, ad small holes. Choose kale with smaller-sized leaves sice these will be more teder ad have a more mild flavour tha those with larger leaves. Kale is available throughout the year, although it is more widely available, ad at its peak, from the middle of witer through the begiig of sprig. This thick drik is made from bleded raw fruit ad/or vegetables, with other igrediets such as water, ice, dairy products or sweeteers ad is a ideal way to esure you get may of your vitamis ad mierals i oe go. Particularly if you do t like eatig them o their ow. For example, poppig a good amout of spiach or kale i with your fruit will mask that bitter taste. I additio to bleded fruit/vegetables, smoothies may iclude other igrediets such as plat milk, uts, ut butter, seeds, tea, chocolate, herbal supplemets, or utritioal supplemets. PROTEIN Our bodies maily use protei to build ad repair tissues, but this macroutriet is also a importat buildig block i key metabolic ad growth processes. The body does ot store protei, so you eed to icorporate it ito your regular diet i order to maitai healthy levels. If you eat protei from aimal sources, the whey protei, casei protei, ad Greek yoghurt are all great sources to iclude i your smoothie. If you prefer plat-based foods, soy, hemp, pea, ad rice proteis are all suitable choices. You may prefer some forms of protei more tha others, ad you may have to try a few util you fid the oe that works best for you. Experimet to fid oe you like. LIQUID There are a variety of liquids you ca add to your smoothie to improve its cosistecy ad to meet your utritioal eeds. Low-fat ad skim milk are both effective low-carbohydrate optios that also pack a additioal protei puch. If you prefer plat sources, usweeteed almod, cocout, ad rice milks are all good optios. Just be midful to read the igrediet list sice some plat-based milks iclude questioable additives like carrageea. Lookig to icrease your smoothie s sweetess? Addig fruit juice ca be especially tasty i smoothies that cotai gree vegetables. But if you do choose to use fruit juice i your smoothie, be sure to watch the sugar cotet or use half juice ad half water. Lastly, if you re lookig for a eergy kick, try addig gree tea, which provides a small amout of caffeie to your smoothie. GREEN VEGETABLES Research tells us that we should eat more gree vegetables, but it s ot always easy to remember ad icorporate ito our busy lives. Throwig a hadful of gree vegetables ito your protei smoothie is a simple ad tasty way to get your grees. Try kale, spiach, broccoli, alfalfa, ad chlorella - a freshwater algae usually foud at health food stores. Igrediets: 1/2 cup tofu, 1 cup orage juice, 3/4 cup Optioal: add 1 Tbsp. cocoa ibs for a extra atioxidat 14 kale, 1 baaa, 1 cup pieapple boost ad delicious flavour twist 15 Fruit Addig fruit to your smoothie will kick up the atural sweetess ad may also provide coutless other health ad utritioal beefits such as decreased blood pressure, protectio from certai cacers, ad reductio i the risk of heart disease. Fruits ca also be a great source of other vital utriets such as vitami C, potassium, ad folate. Baaas, berries, mago, pieapple, peaches, cherries, goji berries, ad dates are all outstadig optios. CLASSIC KALE Igrediets: 1/2 cup Greek yoghurt, 1 cup orage juice, 3/4 cup kale, 1.5 cups mixed berries, 1 baaa VERY VERDE Igrediets: 1 servig hemp protei (usually 2-4 Tbsp.), 1 cup soy milk, 1 cup froze spiach, 1 cup pieapple, 1 Tbsp milled flax seeds TROPICAL PARADISE Chlorella - First, whe take preemptively, it stregthes the immue system, so our bodies respod properly Secod, because it removes heavy metals ad toxis from our body, we are less likely to get evirometally based cacers. Third, studies have show that idividuals oce diagosed with cacer, chlorella ehaces the actio of T cells helpig to fight ew abormal cells. METHOD for all: Put all igrediets ito a bleder, add up to oe cup of ice (if desired), bled, ad ejoy! BERRY-GREEN DELIGHT Igrediets: 1/2 cup low-fat or Greek yoghurt, 1 cup of milk, 1 tsp. chlorella or 1/2 cup alfalfa, 1 cup mixed berries, 1 Tbsp. chia seeds or 1/2 cup Medjool dates (pits removed) for extra sweetess Peaut Butter Rapture 1 servig whey protei (usually 2-4 Tbsp.), 1 cup almod milk, 1 tsp. chlorella, 1 baaa, 1 Tbsp. peaut butter

Our beas are all orgaically certified, roasted by origi, ad available to sample from our warehouse roastery either as sigle origis or bleds. says Kim. All their baristas are specifically traied to serve the best, each shot measured to a preciseess that makes chuckig a spooful of istat i a mug a puishable crime. The roast is importat, the water is equally so, the timig is critical, but the grid... the grid is paramout to creatig the ed flavour. Hot this summer though, cuttig-edge coffee is set to be all about cold-brew, a ceturies-old brew method that offers coffee geeks fresh uaces i flavour, ad oe that you ca easily try at home. Not to be cofused with iced-coffee, coldbrew is very much what it says o the ti. Coffee grouds are steeped i water for up to 24-hours to produce a cocetrated coffee essece which is the diluted with water, usually by 50%, ad served chilled. It produces a sweeter, less acidic drik which, certaily i the summer moths, delivers ot oly a satisfyig coffee flavour but i a ew, refreshig format.

After thousads of years of erosio, may rock pools have formed ad oe of them has formed right o the very edge of the sheer drop. This is ideed the ultimate ifiity pool - Devils Pool. It takes a rocky walk ad swim i the Zambezi to reach the pool the the fearless leap ito the pool ad get pushed to the edge by the force of the river. The rock lip brigs you to a halt as the ragig waters of the Zambezi crash over the cliffs a few feet away.

Jue 2016 Jue 2016 o safari i al ai 44 We take you behid the scees at the ewly opeed safari park i Al Ai At 217 hectares the ewly opeed Al Ai Africa Safari, ad soo to follow Elephat, Asia ad Arabia safaris, the wildlife park is destied to be oe of the world s largest ma-made safaris i the world - a experiece which allows visitors a chace to view more tha 400 aimals without havig to peer through metal bars or feces to see them. Al Ai Safari has bee masterfully crafted out of the desert eviromet to icorporate its pristie surrouds, Al Ai Zoo director geeral Ghaim Al Hajeri said. We wet behid the scees to meet the aimals ad their keepers, some of whom have bee tedig to their eeds for early 40 years. It is a special experiece ad oe made eve more special whe talkig to the keepers who have bee workig tederly ad tirelessly to esure a smooth trasitio for each aimal, from cage to ope plais. Opeed i 1968, the zoo has bee a big part of the city for decades but thigs are movig o from cages ad the traditioal methods of zoo keepig. Learig from icoic parks such as the Sa Diego Wildlife Park, the ew zoo expasio throws ope the cages ad breaks dow the feces to give the aimals a sese of freedom ad choice. Drivig aroud the park, chauffeured by local Emirati staff members from the zoo, you will certaily feel like the oe i captivity, ot the zebra, oryx or giraffe, roamig freely across the cleverly desiged exhibits ad buffer zoes to esure species are kept separate, but still i full view of the visitor. Fordig shallow bodies of water alog the desigated track, the eviromet is begiig to attract a umber of migratory birds all addig to the safari experiece as we idle slowly past, they pay us o attetio, just goig about their day. Mohammed Al Faqeer, the Hoof Stock ad Life Sciece Coordiator was kid eough to sped the morig itroducig us to this uique eviromet, passioately explaiig the obstacles i overcomig the issues related to the release of caged aimals out ito the ope. Our first stop was the giraffe pe where we could see several expectat heads peerig over the fece waitig for the keeper to arrive with his wheelbarrow full of treats. From the purpose-built separatio ad traiig chutes they are getly ecouraged by the keeper out ito the park by usig treats. This daily time cosumig exercise though has meat that the movig of these getle giats, ad all other aimals i the park, was accomplished without the eed for sedatio or chemicals. Leadig them from the perceived safety of their pe out i to the ope park, they are free to roam ad browse o acacia trees for the day. A browse farm is curretly creatig a abudace of this reewable source so that they have a costat supply of browsig material to keep them occupied ad closer to their atural behaviour. Followig the same kid of traiig, the white rhio, we are told, are ot too far off their complete release, agai it s hard to believe this ca be doe so getly ad with the aimal s welfare i mid. No eed for sedatives or stress for these beautiful creatures. Whatever your views o aimals i captivity, you caot fail to see the efforts beig made at the safari park to esure that the aimals are cared for to the best of their ability with o expese spared. The safari is ot just home to Arabia ad Africa aimals, such as the scimitar oryx, sprigbok, elad, blesbok, giraffe, zebra ad lio, but also to 38 ative ad Africa plats ad a growig umber of birds - if you wat to experiece it, tickets cost AED 200 o a small multi-seat vehicle or AED 1000 for a 4x4s, seatig six passegers. The full circuit takes from 45 miutes to a hour. 45
