Abby Malloy
Colo Guard Instructor, The Cadets
Abby Malloy has had many years of colorguard experience as both a performer and educator.
Born in Miami, she attended G. Holmes Braddock High School and joined the winter guard her freshman year, thus beginning her color guard career. After only one season, Abby became a member of the local guard, Braddock Independent World, where she marched from 2005 to 2009 and again in 2011. She received two Distinguished Service Awards during her time at Braddock Independent and served as Captain for the 2008 and 2009 seasons.
Abby's drum corps career began in 2005 when she marched in the Magic or Orlando Colorguard, later serving as captain in 2006. In 2007, she joined The Cadets Colorguard where she marched through her age-out summer in 2010. Abby was a featured soloist in 2009 and a captain in 2010, and she received Distinguished Service Awards in both 2009 and 2010.
Professionally, Abby began teaching in the visual program at John A. Ferguson High School in 2006 and the movement program at Cypress Bay High School in 2011. She kept both positions until 2013 when she moved to Massachusetts to pursue a degree in Elementary Education at Salem State University.
Abby continues to apply her passion for teaching, as she is currently working with multiple color guards throughout the New England area. She is looking forward to returning to her home at The Cadets for her fourth year on staff.

Your account
A simples guide
Whether you're road tripping around the Ardennes or off to a conference in Calais, if you're planning on driving abroad there's a couple of things you ought to know:
-Check the rules: Depending on where you are going, the rules of the road could be quite different from here at home. Even driving laws and requirements in neighbouring countries differ. Spend some time familiarising yourself with local traffic rules and customs, not least, which side of the road they drive on!
Note: It may also be a good idea to check the drink driving laws in case they differ from the UK.
-Check your equipment: you'll need to think about whether you need to carry any additional items in your car. Certain countries such as France require you to have the following in the car: reflective hazard triangles, fluorescent jackets and a portable breathalyser.
Did you know: your car must display a GB sticker on the back (unless there is already a GB on your number plate). Failure to do so may result in an on-the-spot fine.
-Check your documentation: it is worth being organised and collecting together all the documentation you will need in the event that you get into difficulties on your travels.
You'll need: your passport, your driving licence, vehicle registration document (V5), breakdown policy, travel insurance documents, emergency helpline numbers and last but not least, your car insurance certificate. You might be needing a bigger bag!
What level of car insurance you have abroad will depend on your current policy. It's worth checking that first. If your policy does mention overseas cover you should still watch for:
You may have heard of the Green Card System and you may be offered a Green Card by your insurer. The system was originally created to help make it easier to drive between countries in Europe by creating one recognised European document.
The Green Card is now recognised as an international certificate of insurance and proves to foreign authorities that you have the minimum compulsory level of insurance for the country that you're driving in. You don't need to have it in the EEA but you may be asked to produce the document by the local authorities in some countries.
Possession of a Green Card guarantees that if you're in an accident caused by a foreign vehicle you'll be compensated in the country of the accident.
The responsibility for issuing the cards in the UK rests with The Motor Insurers' Bureau, but they have delegated the responsibility for issuing and printing them to individual insurers.
In total there are 47 countries signed up the Green Card scheme including all 28 European Union countries as well as Middle Eastern nations, Russia and some in North Africa.
An International Driving Permit (IDP), and yes, the clue is in the name, is an internationally recognised permit that allows you to drive abroad when accompanied by a UK driving licence. They are valid for 12 months from date of issue.
It sounds a bit technical but in most cases you'll need a 1949 Convention IDP. Only if you're about to go driving in Brazil, Iraq or Somalia will you need a 1926 Convention IDP.
A permit can be obtained via the AA or an application at your Post Office.
Remember that having a permit is not the same as having insurance for driving abroad.

Unbridled zeal and nonstop zest propel "Newsies" in Hollywood. The North American tour of Alan Menken, Jack Feldman and Harvey Fierstein's adaptation of the 1992 film about the Manhattan newspaper boys' strike of 1899 sailed into the Pantages Theatre on Wednesday, and the walls may still be vibrating as you read this.
A shrewdly calculated blend of unapologetic sentiment, blank social statement and sheer moxie, "Newsies" was something of a surprise hit in 2012, though considering how its flop source material had become a cult item over the years, its crowd-pleasing stage success shouldn't really have been unexpected.
For the Record
March 30, 4 p.m.: A review in the March 28 Calendar section said that Ben Cook played the role of Crutchie in the March 26 performance of "Newsies" at the Pantages Theatre. Zachary Sayle played the role. Also, choreographer Christopher Gattelli's name was misspelled as Gattell.
Not with Disney Theatricals producing within an inch of its budget, and that ace maneuverer of stage pictures Jeff Calhoun at the helm. The most significant aspect of this high-octane excursion is the energy expended not just by its tireless cast but by its all-out design scheme and brazen narrative formula, which is mirrored in turn by the reaction of its fans (more on that later).
So we get designer Tobin Ost's formidable original set, a many-tiered gridwork of tenements, strikingly lighted by Jeff Croiter, which shifts into various pictorial contours that fill out the Pantages stage as well as anything since "Wicked" last flew in.
Within, around and throughout that structure moves, to put it mildly, a passel of fresh-faced, scrappy young men, wearing their hearts on the sleeves of their ragtag costumes (designed by Jess Goldstein) and whirling through Christopher Gattell's breakneck, Tony-winning choreography as though their lives depended on it.
Which, in a way, they do, as these are the titular newspaper delivery boys, their motto "Headlines don't sell papes. Newsies sell papes." (The Bowery-inflected lingo at times foreshadows the "totes" and "adorbs" of today's Twitter generation.)
Their ringleader is Jack Kelly (charismatic Dan Deluca, a star on the rise), a surefire firebrand with an artistic side and a secret — in other words, our hero. Together with understated crony Davey (the affable Jacob Kemp), Kelly takes on publishing mogul Joseph Pulitzer (Steve Blanchard, doing his best with a papier-mache role) after he opts to lower his costs by charging the newsboys more for the papers they sell.
Kelly's efforts to learn about union organizing and pull his cronies into solidarity brings in burlesque queen Medda Larkin (big-voiced Angela Grovey); some broadly drawn heavies, including Pulitzer's inner circle (Mark Aldrich, Bill Bateman and Meredith Inglesby); and, critically, high-minded reporter Katherine (fervent Stephanie Styles), whose obvious love-interest function is tempered by her own secret.
There's even a late-inning deus ex machina from history (Kevin Carolan), a certain former Rough Rider who today can be seen on Mt. Rushmore.
But the main news is those newsies, whether it's bravely hobbled Crutchie (Benjamin Cook) or precocious urchin Les (Vincent Crocilla, alternating with Anthony Rosenthal), right down the cast list. Somersaulting, vaulting, pirouetting and tumbling, the ensemble gives the numbers enough unrelenting oomph to put every cheerleading squad in the country on high alert.
Menken's tunes and Feldman's lyrics, also Tony-winning, are perhaps more emphatic than memorable, but they serve the storytelling. Under James Dodgson's music direction, such anthems as "Seize the Day," "The World Will Know" and "Carrying the Banner" aren't exactly subtle in their aims, as opposed to Katherine's thoughtful "Watch What Happens," and the cast sells them full-out, with Act 2's "King of New York" a tap-happy showstopper.
Fierstein's book is similarly black and white, its Union Good, Establishment Bad scenario leaving little room for nuance. But then, that's not really the point here, and he does get some tickling zingers in at the media, politicos and such. True, Pulitzer would be more of a threat if his dialogue weren't so formulaic, and the narrative reversals retained from the film are hardly surprising, and that's probably for the best.
The audience at Wednesday's opening was clearly, vocally ready to love this show. A significant measure of high-pitched shrieks and squeals from the upper reaches of the venue indicates a large sector of any house will be young women, and the knowing laughter from all over the Pantages suggests that the film's cult following has followed it into the theater.
In short, "Newsies" is a critic-proof, resolutely entertaining, slightly exhausting romp, with a strong company and no end of technical flash. If it's more throwback than breakthrough, or if an air of the mechanical hovers around the entire enterprise, nothing this reviewer or anyone else says will matter an iota. Prepare to battle for tickets.
Where: Pantages Theatre, 6233 Hollywood Blvd., L.A.
When: 8 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturdays, 1 and 6:30 p.m. Sundays. Ends April 19.
Tickets: Start at $25

As most delinquent student-loan borrowers know by now, the federal government wants us to believe it`s serious about collecting its debts.
But don`t tell that to Mid-Continent Adjustment Co. of Glenview and Furst & Furst of Chicago, two leading commercial-collection agencies. They believe the government has little or no idea of how much commercial debt it is owed or how to recover it.

'Orlando' Director Sally Potter on Twitter, Virgina Woolf and Gender-Bending
British film director Sally Potter has had a busy month. First there was the introspective of her films at MoMA that ran through July 21. Next, there was the re-release of her 1992 film "Orlando," which is currently playing in New York and Los Angeles and will expand to other select cities in coming weeks.
"Orlando," which stars Tilda Swinton, adapts Virginia Woolf's titular 1928 novel and portrays a man who transforms into a woman over time after he's been commanded to never age. We sat down with Potter in downtown Manhattan to discuss the process of adaptation, gender-bending in the postmodern era, and why Virginia Woolf isn't taken as seriously as James Joyce.
The Wall Street Journal: Is the exhibition of your work this month at MoMA tied to the re-release of Orlando?
It's actually by happy coincidence. The re-release was due to happen, but then it got pushed back for various reasons.
When did you want the film to be re-released?
We started talking about it for the 10th anniversary of it being completed. I know it's very rare for films to be re-released, but Sony Classics called it an "evergreen film" in the sense that it hasn't gone away. People have repeatedly said that it doesn't seem to have dated, which is very interesting given the story.
There are some films, this being one of them, "Vertigo" being another, where the audience should ideally see it in a big screen format. Watching it on an iPad would ruin the effect. Do you find that, or are you amenable to however people want to watch it?
You can't control how people watch a film […] but on the big screen you're going to see lots of details that you would miss on a smaller scale. There is an enormous amount of detail that people miss, even on the big screen. In the scenes that were shot in Uzbekistan, we populated the background with twins. We found all the twins in the region and brought them in as extras. There are dozens and dozens of sets of twins in the background. No one ever notices, because there's no panning shot.
What was the motivation behind the twins?
I think there's a twinning theme in the film. Orlando, him/herself, is a two-sided, two-gendered being. [The characters] Sasha and Shelmerdine echo each other. They were partly chosen for their physical resemblance and resonance. The use of twins was literally to emphasize that feeling of doubling or splitting. But in a very throwaway way. We're the constant and the background is rushing past.
The film focuses on poetry and writing. Usually poetry outlives the person and is supposed to function as legacy, but in this case, Orlando is very much alive, and doesn't age alongside her poetry.
The role of poetry in the film is interesting, because Orlando him/herself tries to write poems and they're not very good. By the end of the story, 400 years later, he's produced a manuscript that is worth publishing. [The poet in the novel] Nick Green was drawn by Virginia Woolf as a portrait of the artist within the story. It's more like of an echo of her story – how an artist earns a living, and the paranoia of the poet about publishing enough and whether people are buying his book. When Orlando reads Shakespeare or reads a poet whose language has sustained millions of people and expressed the inexpressible things in their lives, it's a running thread about how literature and poetry are distilled, saturated forms.
When you were adapting the novel, how much of a priority was it to hew to Woolf's intentions?
To stay absolutely true to the spirit of her intention, but not to the letter of it. That's a false reverence people fall into [when making] adaptations, and in the end the film can become a visual illustration of the book, rather than living as a form in its own right. I tried to transfer Woolf's passionate love affair with literature to a passionate love affair with cinema, while staying true to the essence of the narrative. I think I stayed pretty true to the architecture, except that I needed to make it rise up to the present moment, which is what she did when she brought the book up to her present day.
When Orlando breaks the fourth wall, is it meant to mimic Woolf addressing the reader?
Yes. It's the cinematic equivalent. But it was also about wanting to create a feeling of intimacy: that this is a one-on-one experience, a very close relationship that we can have with Orlando. We're not sitting back, objectively watching a spectacle. This isn't Heritage cinema.
If you were working on it now, is there another period you would have added?
The only thing in the whole film that looks dated is the video recorder that's used by the little girl at the end. The thing I would have brought in is the internet – the age of information.
Now that gender-bending is possible and more people are warming to the notion of gender being a social construct, do you think the film will be accepted differently now than in the 1990s?
It's very hard to judge, because it seems that in some places there's more acceptance of the androgynous soul that Woolf talked about. How much is biology, how much is social condition, these are still fiercely debated questions. I think that what endured for me was the theme of immortality rather than the theme of gender. It was the mystery of time passing and the notion of impermanence itself, and the melancholy and celebration that come with the drive into the present moment. The fluidity of gender takes a secondary thematic role in relation to that.
In an interview a couple months ago, Bret Easton Ellis said film is a "medium built for the male gaze and for a male sensibility." How is that type of narrative defeated?
People are very confused and ask the question over and over, "How come there are so few film directors?" A piece like that explains why. There's a universal state of pretense. You see why it's so hard for women to direct and to be accepted. There's this invisible structure.
We'll override that narrative by refusing to accept it. I remember as a young girl overhearing somebody saying "there are no great women artists." And it going in like a deep tolling bell – and going off into my room alone and weeping about this absolute statement. And then coming out determined that it was not so. And then starting to look for clues and reasons why it's not so. Woolf would be one example. Her work is often trivialized compared to James Joyce. Now I love James Joyce, the stream of consciousness. But what is Orlando if not a great work of collective consciousness of history? But somehow it was taken more lightly.
Do you think you were born in the wrong generation? Some of your ideas are very progressive. Do you ever want to wake up in 4652 and see what it would be like?
Think of it another way: we're pioneers. How exciting to be the pioneers. Think of how much history's gone before. Think of how many thousands of women there have been and how lucky we're the ones who get to stand on their shoulders. And we are leaving traces. Those traces may not get the recognition they deserve, but they're there.
You keep an active blog and forum on your website. Do you post comments in the forum?
I do. I've been a bit inactive lately because I've been writing, and I find that to be truly present on a website you have to give it a lot of time. With my previous film, I told myself to answer every question that came in, and it was very exciting. That's where I met an international audience in a way that I never met them before.
Would you go on Twitter?
I've been thinking about it. It's about time management. Because if I can't even answer my own e-mails, let alone questions on a forum, how I would manage Twitter, I'm not sure. But it's quite appealing, the brevity and poetic nature of it.
You can just dash off a response.
I don't dash responses off though. When I type a reply, I do a draft. I polish the draft. I edit the draft. Then I'll post it in the forum. There's a tendency to think the internet can be used as throwaway, but I don't want to put out junk. I don't want to litter the internet with the equivalent of plastic bottles.

From Tampa, Florida, USA:
I just posted my daughter's case on the message board "Alternatives to pancreatectomy Kristin's miracle". Do you know of anyone else using Sandostatin [octreotide] for its side effects of lowering insulin as an alternative to diazoxide or surgery?
If you search PubMed using terms like "somatostatin" or "octreotide" plus "hyperinsulinemic" (from Persistent Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia of Infancy, a name that has come to replace that of nesidioblastosis. you will find a number of references. However, using drugs like Octreotide (Sandostatin) to inhibit insulin release does involve repeated injections so that many centers nowadays would try calcium channel blockers before Sandostatin in the hope of averting surgery.
Additional comments from Dr. David Schwartz:Sure. The use of somatostatin (Sandostatin, Octreotide) is well documented in the literature to inhibit insulin production, especially in infants with persistent hyperinsulinemia leading to hypoglycemia. It must be given by shot, usually three to four times daily, the shots can hurt, they are very expensive, and side effects can include changes in stool pattern, gallstones, and an underactive thyroid gland along with decreased growth hormone production, among others. If there is no good effect with medical treatments (including somatostatin, diazoxide, and sometimes a class of medications called "calcium-channel blockers"), then a surgical approach to remove the majority of the pancreas is often the only recourse.
Additional comments from Shirley Goodman, diabetes nurse specialist:Congratulations that the therapy for your daughter is successful. I know of several pediatric endocrine programs in the US have used Sandostatin as a medical intervention in the treatment of hyperinsulinism. Given by subcutaneous injection or as a continuous infusion, it can be an effective treatment for some children.
Some of the parents in our practice have also successfully used the Internet to connect with other families with similar medical treatment for hyperinsulinism. The CHOP (Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia) website also has a section about the diagnosis and treatment of congenital hyperinsulinism which families have found useful.

Kamakura, Japan
The Great Buddha of Kamakura
A bronze statue dating back as far as 1252, still has remnants of gold around its ears from its ancient gilding.
The Great Buddha (or Daibutsu) of Kamakura is one of Japan's most fascinating historical landmarks.
The enormous bronze statue is a representation of Amida Buddha, located on the grounds of the Kotokuin temple in Kamakura City. The monument dates all the way back to 1252, originally gold-plated and housed inside. The statue has stood in the open air since the temple building was destroyed in the tsunami of September 20th 1492, and only traces of gold-leaf remain around the ears.
The Daibutsu of Kamakura is the second largest monumental Buddha in Japan, weighing in at 93 tons and reaching a height of 13.35 meters. A unique aspect of the statue is that, since it is hollow, visitors can actually go inside the sacred monument. For a small donation of 20 yen, visitors are permitted enter the Buddha and see from the inside how it was cast. This unique experience ensures that a visit to the Daibutsu of Kamakura will be a memorable one.

These latest initiatives follow a set of Four A's guidelines unveiled in October 1997, and one of them takes on the controversial subject of speculative creative.
Cleve Langdon, director of business development at DDB Worldwide and chairman of the Four A's new-business committee, said the goal is to regulate the amount of work often requested by clients or potential clients in a review.
Mr. Langdon said agencies shouldn't present material that "is beyond a well-directed storyboard.
"Everybody is in favor of spec work," he noted, "but no one is in favor of spec that wastes money on unnecessary production. It hurts smaller agencies and those that don't have the money to put against it."
Said fellow committee member Peter Drakoulias, Deutsch partner and director of business development: "We want to level the playing field so one agency isn't outdoing another. [The goal] is to set some rules for everybody to play by."
The second new guideline states that agencies should not pay search consultancies a fee in order to participate in an account review.
Many search consultancies charge a "club fee" for agencies to be listed on their roster or Web site. Online consultancy Agency Finder.com, for example, is said to charge agencies $2,500 for a listing on its site.
Others, such as Select Resources International and AAR/Bob Wolf & Partners, are said to have charged national agencies as much as $15,000 in annual fees.
"What has been a small cost has now become a substantial cost," said O. Burtch Drake, Four A's President-CEO, who added that the "arrival of dot-com search consultancies" has added greatly to agencies' consultancy costs.
If agencies signed up with every search consultancy, they could spend upwards of $50,000 annually in extra fees, Mr. Drake said. He also estimated that approximately 70% of all new-business reviews today are run by consultants. STANDARD QUESTIONS
The third guideline encourages search consultants and prospective agency clients to use a standardized Four A's questionnaire to solicit agency information.
As a trade group, the Four A's can suggest but can't mandate that agencies follow its guidelines. The group, however, hopes it can provide the industry with a uniform code with which to work.

Album / Collection: ROENTGEN
Track # 5
And uproar fills the town
My thoughts are drowning in the noise
How could you know? Why should you know me?
You gently nourish my dry skin
A drop of colour saves me from
The fate I'm facing everyday
A single bloom piercing the snowdrift
* How softly, the springtime breezes sing
How deeply, the distant mountains breathe
There are so many things to show you
Oh why does hate bring forth more hate?
A long abandoned fruit
Is hastening the process of decay
This country's, it's void of feeling
* (2x)
One of these days...

Lovers' Tiff in Turkey
Sometimes you come across the completely unexpected when searching the MHS collections. Initially I hoped to highlight the food of the season, and began a search for an interesting menu from any date in the month of November. If turkey had been on any of the menus, that would be the subject of today's post. Not finding a satisfactory menu and determined to have some sort of turkey in this post -- be it fowl or country -- I started searching for descriptions of Turkey. With a subject search for "Istanbul (Turkey) – Description and travel" a collection finally caught my eye.
What I found was a letter, written in 1830, containing a beautiful yet brief description of Constantinople in the Henry K. Loring papers. However, the depiction of mosques, minarets, and palaces was not the most intriguing excerpt from this letter. A lovers' tiff revealed in the very same letter entirely captivated my attention!
Captain Loring's passenger ship arrived in Constantinople (now Istanbul) on 27 November 1830. As a sailor abroad, Loring often wrote to his sweetheart Sarah Hichborn in Boston from his various destinations, including the Greek Islands, Italy, and Turkey. During this stop in Constantinople, he wrote to Hichborn on 18 December 1830 responding to a situation that she addressed in a prior letter, which is not among this collection of correspondence. She seemingly accused him of intentionally impressing ladies other than herself while he was last in Boston. The captain addressed the issue with such ostentation I am uncertain whether his sentiments are flirtation or vainglory:
Dear Sarah, as you observe, distance, does not seperate minds. May ours, never be seperated. But be always, united according to your good Wishes, I cannot recollect, were I took Tea, excepting it was at your house, I do not remember, any ladies, that I could possibly, have impressed them, with any Particular regards for me. I suffer it was on account, of my beauty, Gentlemanly appearance &c. I think you aught to have gratified me, by telling me who they were, Now by way of retaliation I shall not tell you, how near I come, loosing my heart, at Constantinople. The Turkish and Armenian ladies, are certainly very beautifull.
Ooh, trouble! I would advise the captain that retaliation is not always the best course of action in matters of the heart.
Dear readers, if you are worried about their relationship, let me reassure you. Captain Loring and Sarah Hichborn married on 21 March 1833.

Al Thumama Stadium design by Qatari architect revealed for 2022
The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC), the organisation responsible for delivering the infrastructure required to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup™ in Qatar, has today launched the design of Al Thumama Stadium, the sixth 2022 FIFA World Cup™ venue design the SC has revealed. Al Thumama Stadium is one of seven venues currently under construction across Qatar, with the Khalifa International Stadium having been completed and inaugurated in May in Doha.
Based on the 'gahfiya' headdress worn by men across the Arab world, an essential component of traditional Arab dress, Al Thumama's distinct design is steeped in tradition and history and will resonate across the Arab world. The stadium was designed by renowned Qatari architect Ibrahim M. Jaidah, who is also behind Qatar Museum's Fire Station gallery and Doha's new Ministry of Interior building, and comes from the Arab Engineering Bureau (AEB), the oldest architectural and engineering consulting firm in Qatar. Jaidah also worked on the previous headquarters for Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, printed on the Qatari one hundred riyal note.
Speaking on the launch of the new stadium design, H.E. Hassan Al Thawadi, SC Secretary General, said: "With just over five years to go until Qatar opens the doors of the Middle East to the world, this symbolic design embodies everything that unites us as Arabs and Muslims, and is a fitting tribute to the first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East. Given its cultural and historical relevance, I am confident that, once completed, Al Thumama Stadium will become a favourite among the region's sports fans and a sporting landmark that demonstrates to future generations just how unique the Qatar World Cup will be."
Al Thumama Stadium is set for completion in 2020 and will seat 40,000 spectators and host matches up to the quarter-final stage when the FIFA World Cup™ kicks off on November 21st, 2022. The innovative arena is being built by a Qatar-Turkey joint venture (JV) between AlJaber Engineering and Turkey's largest construction company, Tekfen, with enabling works successfully completed in 2016. Architectural Design Consultant Heerim, who recently worked on the stunning Baku Olympic Stadium in Azerbaijan, will also be working on the stadium.
Discussing his design for the latest FIFA World Cup™ stadium, architect Ibrahim M. Jaidah said: "The reveal of Al Thumama Stadium design comes with immense pride in having contributed to the delivery of the first World Cup in the history of Qatar and the region. The inspiration behind the design comes in line with Qatar's hosting promise that this World Cup will be one for the region to celebrate. I believe it will be a stadium design that resonates with the Arab community, and we are extremely proud to have designed this innovative venue."
The stadium is one of the most centrally located venues out of the eight being constructed for the tournament, nestled in the busy residential Doha suburb of Al Thumama, located just 6km south of Doha's famous Corniche. It is also just 5km from Doha's state-of-the-art Hamad International Airport, which will have capacity to handle over 200,000 travelling fans a day come tournament time, and situated close to various metro stations on Qatar Rail's Red Line, enabling fans to effortlessly travel between hotels and stadiums to watch multiple live matches per day thanks to the compact nature of the tournament.
Eng. Hilal Jeham Al Kuwari, Chairman of the SC's Technical Delivery Office, said of the new stadium: "This is another unique design that all of Qatar will be proud of, given its rich cultural connotations. The gahfiya, which weaves centuries of shared heritage into its design, is also a welcome reminder of the cultural and historical bonds that unite the people of the Arab World as one. My team and I will work tirelessly to ensure the finished product truly captures the imaginations of young and old alike, and lives up to their expectations."
The stadium will be equipped with both world-class standards of disabled access and the SC's revolutionary cooling technology to enable year-round sporting activities after the tournament. In legacy mode the stadium capacity will decrease to 20,000 thanks to demountable modular seating sections which the SC will donate to developing football nations after the tournament. The remaining 20,000-seater Al Thumama Stadium will feature a boutique hotel and a range of amenities the SC is agreeing with the local community to ensure the precinct meets its needs long after the final whistle in 2022.
The distinctive white bowl design, adorned with an intricate pattern, is based on the 'gahfiya', an essential component of traditional Arab dress that holds in place the 'ghutra' and 'aghal', which together form a symbol of dignity and independence.
The site previously held four Qatar Football Association (QFA) training pitches and hosted the preliminary rounds of the Workers' Cup, an SC initiative launched to enable migrant workers from across Qatar to play competitive football, which has seen over 10,000 construction workers compete in its five editions (2013-2017).

Stunning Muslim Model- Halima Aden Wows at NYFW Debut
Halima Aden, a Somali-born Muslim, proves that beauty may be hijab deep after 'knocking 'em dead' during her NYFW debut! The over-the-top-gorgeous, 19-year-old has become a role model and an inspiration for all muslim women in America.She wowed at the New York Fashion Week, wearing a hijab on the Yeezy Season 5 runway, stealing the show while she stood up for women and religious freedom all at once. Born in a Kenyan refugee camp and later relocating to Minnesota, Halima turned heads just last year when she competed in Minnesota's Miss USA competition wearing a hijab and a burkini for the swimsuit competition, says the Huffington Post. She was one of 45 women in the competition and made it to the semifinal round.

Halima Aden: A 19-Year-Old Hijabi Just Got Signed As IMG Model https://t.co/1YhVzC1kFb pic.twitter.com/sfgUmCEVrT
— Loud & Mute (@loudandmute_) February 17, 2017
Today Halima is working as a model and admits, "I didn't really have modelling in mind. I wanted to spread a positive message about beauty and diversity, and to show other young Muslim women that there is room for them."
At the very least for this beauty, her courage and her steadfastness has indeed worked well for her- she just signed a major contract with IMG models. The president of IMG, Ivan Bart, shared, "I found that she was just so brave to stick to what she really believed in and yet go after the American dream of being in a beauty contest."
It just keeps getting better for Halima. As early as this week she landed her first magazine cover for CR Fashion Book Issue #10. However, as a coincidence it also just so happens to be the magazine brand's first issue after it partnered with Hearst magazines! In the issue, she not only graces the cover with her hijab but has a full interview with sister Somalian and famous model, Iman on the inside!

One thing for sure- we'll be seeing a lot more of Halima Aden in 2017 and beyond, as fashion, and hopefully, religious tolerance, forward into the future.

Villa are in strong contention for a UEFA Cup spot and even have a chance of qualifying for the Champions League after a run of only one defeat in their last 11 matches.
O´Neill said: "I don´t think it is to do with us trying to hold our nerve. It is not as if we have been a kind of Liverpool, searching for form. Every game is hard for us - but we should not be fearful of these games. There is a subtle difference between that and holding your nerve."

As of August 6, 1998, the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (the Act) prohibits any person from introducing into commerce, products that are not "lead free" as defined by the Act. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined that for a product to be considered "lead free" under the Act, it must satisfy the performance standard for lead leaching under NSF Standard 61, Section 9 (NSF 61/9). Items covered by NSF 61/9 include lavatory faucets, (excluding metering, self-closing, and electronic faucets), bar and kitchen faucets, valves, supply lines, fittings, and many other products that come into contact with drinking water supplies. The Act applies to residential, commercial and institutional installations, as well as new and retrofit applications.
California Proposition 65, "The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986" is the most stringent law (that we know of) of its kind at either the state or federal level. The federal standard for lead in drinking water is 11 ppb (parts per billion) while prop 65 (Calif) mandates a level of .05ppb. The Center for Environmental Health recommends that consumers run water for 10 seconds before filling a glass to remove water with the highest lead levels (from pre "Act" faucets).
Additionally, with the passage of California Assembly Bill 1953, Maryland House Bill 372, and Vermont Assembly Bill VT S.152, "lead free" is defined as to mean not more than a weighted average of 0.25% lead content in pipe and fittings. What this means for you is the lead content in faucet spouts and fittings will not be legally allowed to have more than one-fourth of one percent of lead, so water traveling through compliant faucets will be essentially "lead free". CA AB 1953 defines lead as less than 0.25%. This bill changes the meaning of term "lead free" in the Health and Safety Code from eight percent lead for pipes or pipe fittings, and four percent lead for plumbing fittings and fixtures to a weighted average of not more than 0.25 percent lead content within each component that comes into contact with the wetted surfaces of pipes and pipe fittings, plumbing fittings and fixtures effective July 1, 2010. However, it is important to note that while products meeting the requirements of the law are defined as being "lead free", they may still contain trace amounts of lead.
The new lead free act went into effect nationally in 2014.
We must make that warning statement above (about lead and potential carcinogens) to our customers to comply with the laws of California. We are very conscientious of our planet. We try to recycle as much as possible. We try to ship our products in used/recycled boxes wherever possible and reuse and recycle all
bubble wrap, etc that we receive. We separate our waste. We believe very strongly in safe products.
We strongly encourage all of our customers (and readers of this page) to write to all government bodies about safety with packaging of foods. We are very concerned about straws and baby bottles for children made out of recycled plastics with unknown compositions
and origins as well as plastic cups, etc. made from non-virgin resins etc. We urge everyone to not only make the plumbing industry accountable but also the food container industry.

but this is exactly the time for the whole country to come together and show everyone how strong we are in the face of adversity and how caring we can be as a nation.
Kent, WA (PRWEB) November 10, 2012
Kent Fit Body Boot Camp is adding a new workout to their normal pre-holiday schedule this year in an effort to help generate relief aid for victims of Hurricane Sandy. The magnitude of the devastation caused by "Superstorm" Sandy continues to increase with each day as emergency responders & utility workers are inundated with requests for help.
"It's easy to forget about the hardships of others when they are clear across the country" says Kent Fit Body owner, Connie Ness, "but this is exactly the time for the whole country to come together and show everyone how strong we are in the face of adversity and how caring we can be as a nation."
Kent Fit Body Boot Camp is planning a 2 Hour Work-Out-A-Thon called "Build Your Body, Re-Build the Coast" to raise money and awareness for Hurricane Sandy Relief. The workout will be open to the public with a suggested donation of $20 for each 30 min segment. All donated funds will be sent directly to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy relief aid.
Build Your Body, Re-Build the Coast will be on Saturday, November 17th at Kent Fit Body Boot Camp located in Kent, WA at 22016 68th Ave S. (West Valley Highway). The workout will run from 8 AM to 10 AM and will be broken into four 30-minute segments. People are invited to do as many segments as they want. However, due to space limitations, each 1/2 hour segment will be limited to 24 people.
Please e-mail or call Connie to reserve your space for the workout(s) you want to do. Just bring a water bottle, workout towel and desire to help other people while you get a great workout!
"We want to send as much aid as possible back to the East Coast," Connie said. "Come on down for a great workout and support a great cause so we can help raise money for the Hurricane Sandy victims."
Kent Fit Body Boot Camp is located in Kent, WA at 22016 68th Ave S. (West Valley Highway).

Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez Want To Have Kids Together
After all the drama surrounding the fake sonogram that set the internet on fire, a source has revealed to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez DO want to have children together!
March 19 — a day that will live in infamy as the day a fake sonogram spread around the internet, supposedly depicting twin fetuses belonging to Selena Gomez — with Justin Bieber as their father! The internet basically blew up, but we were able to debunk that report pretty quickly. However, despite Selena not having a bun in the oven now, they do want to have kids together, a HollywoodLife.com source has revealed EXCLUSIVELY!
Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez Want To Have Kids In The Future
The couple, who have been on and off since 2011, are now firmly back on and have discussed being parents! Pretty serious. Our source told us that they've "definitely" talked "about [having kids] in the future."
However, "getting pregnant now would be a complete nightmare as it would derail their current career goals and trajectory," our HollywoodLife.com source added. We couldn't agree more! As a result, they don't often bring up the topic of being parents, but as a couple as in love as they are, the conversation has come up.
Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez Want To Have Kids In The Future
Justin is doing everything he can to prove to Selena that he wants to make it work. For example, he's even in the studio writing songs about her!
The couple have had their fair share of negative attention lately, with Justin's various legal troubles and Selena having gone to rehab, but a recent report has claimed that they may go on tour together! How romantic would it be if they went on tour and sang songs to each other in huge stadiums in front of their adoring fans? That's one way to repair a tarnished image. After all, Justin did post a video on Instagram of the two dancing in a studio together! Maybe they were practicing!
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Will we see little Jelenas running around one day? Vote and comment below!

Rick Ross's Coke-Rap Career Imperiled by Charges of Law Enforcement
Ross was once a prison guard, say documents posted by the Smoking Gun.
"Everyday I'm hustlin'," declares popular coke rapper Rick Ross in his biggest-ever hit (if we remember correctly, this lyric was repeated several times for emphasis). As it turns out, though, this was not always the case! For the past few days, rap blogs have been up in arms over the recent discovery of an old photo which appears to show Ross (born William Leonard Roberts) wearing the uniform of a correctional officer, an occupation which would seemingly be a conflict of interest for a guy who's long maintained in songs and interviews that he used to deal coke. Hilariously, Ross has actually denied the evidence using R. Kelly's Little Man defense: "Online hackers [put] my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples' body," he said in a statement last week. "If this shit was real don't you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything?"
And now they do! Last night, the Smoking Gun posted a Miami Department of Corrections personnel record proving that in 1995, 1996, and 1997, Ross (or, at the very least, someone with his exact name, likeness, and Social Security number) drew a salary as a prison guard. Can Ross's hip-hop career possibly withstand such outrageous dishonesty? The fact that he's a terrible rapper hasn't seemed to hurt him, so anything's possible, we guess!

A cornerstone of history
By PATSY HOLLIS | Slicing like an arrowhead where Forest Road splits left from Goulburn Street in West Hobart, Pendragon Hall is outwardly a church, with mind-blowing leaded windows, a steeple and tall lancet-shaped heavy wooden doors. Inside it has been adapted for private living, though still retaining charming ecclesiastical detail. Read more here …
Dances with dogs
By RACHAEL TREASURE | On the Queen's Birthday long weekend in June one of Australia's top stockwomen and Kelpie breeders, Nancy Withers, held up her bidders' card until the selling price of a Kelpie reached a world-record, crowd-gasping price of $5,400 at the Casterton Dog Auction in Victoria.

Living by the sword
The sword of myth and legend became obsolete in the early 20th century with the disappearance of cavalry on the battlefield and the final abolition of duelling.
The weapons and practice of swordplay transformed into sport fencing, using lightweight, electrified sabres, epees and foils designed to score points, not injure.
So it would be difficult to imagine a more unlikely occupation at the beginning of the 21st century than professional swordsman, but Tasmanian Stephen Hand has made a sucessful career as a internationally recognised teacher, scholar, author, fight choreographer and practitioner of Medieval and Elizabethan sword fighting.

Spirits of Tasmania
Flying into Hobart for the first time in her life, Ami Onoe looked down from the plane and said to herself, "here is just heaven". In what some would call an astonishing leap of faith, Ami, who was a successful potter artist living near Tokyo, decided in 1997 to make her home in Tasmania. Her story continues here

Unfenced — and free
Contributing editor Matt Newton has launched his first book — Shack Life — a series of evocative photographs that are a tribute to an endangered but endearing symbol of Tasmania. Escape to "the shack" has been a ritual on weekends and holidays for many people in this state but, sadly, those days may be coming to an end. Make your own escape here

Continuing the story-line which unfolded in "Kill Bill Vol. I," this is a
revenge tale of an expert assassin, called The Bride, who sets out on a
quest to wreak vengeance upon her former employer, Bill, and other
members of their assassin circle, for shooting her on the day of her
wedding--along with all The Bride's guests in attendance--and leaving
her for dead. When this chapter in the story begins, The Bride will have
already encountered some of her targets, having battled her way up the
chain of command. So, after dispensing with former colleagues O-Ren
Ishii and Vernita, she resumes her quest for justice. With those two
down, the Bride has two remaining foes on her 'Death List' to
pursue--Budd and Elle Driver--before moving on to her ultimate goal: to

text: Economists have long studied the efficiency of firms, industries, and entire economies. This volume brings together leading scholars to make connections between efficiency and a number of diverse areas of current interest to economists, including an examination of the efficiency of tax systems across generations that overlap, and the efficiency of firm mergers that highlights the tradeoff between the synergy of the merger and the problem of managerial oversight in the now larger firm. An empirical look at productivity growth of states uses a tripartite decomposition of labor productivity into technological innovation, improvement in efficiency, and the capital deepening brought about by new business investment, shedding light on important debates on their relative importance. The efficiency of patent laws is examined in a modern model of economic growth. These contributions are complemented by analyses of methodological problems involved in the measurement, estimation and aggregation of efficiency indices.

One of the world's top destinations to study abroad, Spain will capture your imagination for a semester -- or a lifetime.
Gently rustling palm trees, intricately carved stone, and extraterrestrial modern art. Which country has all this -- and more? Spain, cultural destination for students and travelers for decades.
If you're considering where to study abroad, join the ranks of famous Spaniard explorers like Cortez, Ponce de Leon, and Pizarro. Become a modern day Spanish adventurer: bounce from museums to cathedrals to castles to the tune of a flamenco guitar as you are bedazzled by this country's diversity.
Cost to Study Abroad in Spain
The average tuition for direct enrollment to study abroad in Spain is $6,000 per semester. If you study abroad through a third-party provider, the cost will be roughly $14,000 per semester. You should also budget for additional living costs, textbooks, food, and travel.
Learn more in our article, How Much is a Semester Studying Abroad in Spain?
Explore the Go Overseas Scholarship directory to find a scholarship to help you study abroad in Spain.
To study abroad in Spain, you will need to collect and submit the student visa application and materials no more than 90 days before the start of your program. The visa application fee is $160 for U.S. students. Learn more about the requirements and application process from the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation website.
If housing isn't included through your study abroad program, consider living with a host family, shared housing with fellow students, or on-campus through university dorms. Another way to find furnished student housing in Spain is through UniPlaces.
Spanish Language Immersion
While it is definitely possible to study abroad in Spain if you don't speak Spanish, it's impossible to spend a semester in Spain and not encounter the beautiful Spanish language. Whether it's stopping for groceries at a corner market or ordering a favorite drink at the local bar (sangria, anyone?), it's helpful to brush up on some simple Spanish phrases for your time studying abroad.
In some regions of Spain people speak an entirely different language/dialect, such as Catalan or Basque in the northern parts of the country. Inform yourself about the local cultures of the destinations in which you are considering studying abroad in.
Life, Culture & Travel in Spain
It's impossible to summarize a dynamic country like Spain; there are too many regions, influences, and cultures! Whether you choose to study in the bustling capital city of Madrid, laid-back beach town of Barcelona, or in the historical heartland of Granada, you'll find something which captivates your imagination for a semester -- or a lifetime. Don't forget to sample the local fares in every destination you visit; Spain has some unmissable foods and drinks you can't find elsewhere!
Most major cities in Spain are well-situated to explore other parts of the country. If, for example, you're studying in Madrid, here are great day and weekend trips you can plan during your semester abroad.

Make a difference by helping us identify the small-scale changes you see in your part of California that can have large-scale impact on our entire state by telling us about a signal for change— an example of where you see a small indicator of real change in California happening now.
Thank you to everyone who took part in California Dreams for all your fantastic ideas. Our judges have placed their votes and we're pleased to announce the following 5 winners:
Breathing Deeply Again - Michael Minadeo
The Power of Less - Kerry Abukhalaf
Open Source School - David Preston
Positive Futures Art and Media - Kate McCallum
Festival of the Future - Mark Riva
The grand prize winner is Michael Minadeo, who received the Roy Amara Prize for Participatory Foresight for his entry. Read more >>
Congratulations to Michael, Kerry, David, Kate, and Mark!
The California Dreams contest asked all of us to imagine the future. Will California keep growing, start conserving, reinvent itself, or collapse? We then asked people to put themselves in the future of one of these paths, and then to show us what a day in their life would look like and how they would live in this new world.
Why do we care? Because California is in crisis. Because pioneers with brilliant ideas live here. Because dreaming the future can change the future.

Time Magazine recently wrote on the sputtering and splintering "recall Walker" labor movement in Wisconsin but left out the reason why the recall movement has lost steam: you can't protest success that saved teacher jobs.
… the campaign to recall Walker is sputtering, and the governor has pulled ahead in the polls with a little over two weeks to go until the June 5 election.
Progressives, as evidenced by Time's piece, are convinced the problems faced by the recall movement are due to the lack of a consensus candidate.
It's not lack of a "consensus candidate" that plagues Wisconsin progressives — it's lack of a good candidate. Tom Barrett's economic record is an embarrassment; the city of his mayorship has a record-high unemployment rate among blacks, and the greatest number of job losses in a recent report came from Milwaukee.
Contrast this with Governor Scott Walker's record: a projected $154 billion-dollar surplus, savings of over $800 million, no loss of teacher jobs, no taxes raised, and increased business (read as: job creation) confidence within the state.
Progressives claim cash flow is a problem for the recall campaign, which is disingenuous. The DNC may have pulled out, but big labor is pouring millions of dollars into the state.
The recall movement is slowing because it can't claim Walker's reforms didn't benefit the state — or save their unions. The cover is blown. It's not about Wisconsin; it's about out-of-state labor bosses.

Mega Joker is a typical fruit machine style of jackpot slot and will be familiar with all gamers, either novices or pro. Most of the reel symbols are fruits such as lemons, plums and cherries, but you can also find the Mega Joker symbol included too. The design of the game is set to make you believe you are playing a physical machine in a lobby, and the graphics even extend to the background where you find plants and curtains. Although not the most glamorous of jackpot slots, the fun features and sound effects make Mega Joker a really fun slot to try your luck on.
|Min Bet
|€1.00 per spin with bets on all win lines with the lowest coin value.
|Max Bet
|€10.00 per spin with bets on all win lines with the highest coin value.
|Average Payout Percentage
|Winning Jackpot Combination
|The joker symbols entitle you to the jackpot. Only bets made in the main game count for the progressive jackpot. The jackpot cannot be won in the Super Meter version.
|Jackpot Type
|The Mega Joker slot is always a local jackpot.
When a progressive jackpot is waiting to be won, the amount can climb to huge amounts and this is a big reason why many players choose to play on jackpot slots. Mega Joker jackpot is no exception to this and with an average win of around 30,000 euros on roughly a bi-weekly basis, it is no surprise that Mega Joker attracts many fans.
What is truly amazing about the Mega Joker slot is its return to player percentage (RTP). With most slot games anything above the 90% mark is considered to be a high return rate, and rightly so, yet Mega Joker jackpots' theoretical RTP percentage is an unbelievable 99%. This means that you stand a huge chance of winning some cash and a very real chance at winning the jackpot.
As described, Mega Joker video slot takes on the role of a standard fruit machine found in many pubs and land-based casinos. All win combinations are shown up and down the side of the game screen and there are nice flashing lights and typical sound effects to go along with this.
Mega Joker is, on its standard game, a 5-line 3-reel win slot, which is the same basis for many. You are able to increase the value of your coin at the bottom of each game and this ranges from 1.00 euro to a maximum bet of 10.00 euros per spin. You are not able to change the win line combination as this will always be set at 5.
In keeping with the traditional theme of a fruit machine, you are able to activate a second set of reels and play in 'super-meter' mode. This is played on the top set of reels and is very much a bonus style of game. Furthermore, it is completely up to you if you would like to play! All winnings from the regular game on the bottom reels can either be banked or further gambled upon in the top reels. In the super-meter mode, you can win mystery prizes which can be as high as 2,000 coins which, like the regular mode, can be banked at any time.
To win the jackpot, you must be playing at the maximum coin value and only be playing in regular mode, i.e. on the bottom reels. As this is a very traditional style of slot, simply spin 3 joker symbols in a win combination and watch the joker move the progressive jackpot into your account. You won't need to enter a bonus game, and it is important to remember that only the bottom reels qualify for the jackpot. During 'super-meter' play it is not possible to win this, even if the reels stop on 3 jokers. If this occurs, you are then awarded 2,000 coins which is the maximum win besides the jackpot.
