The space featured Barbie dolls and accessories from the past six decades, which also served as a reminder that the brand really has come a long way. Nostalgia was certainly a big theme as I talked to various people visiting World of Barbie. One woman in her mid-50s brought her father to the exhibit.

Coming off the heels of its extended Toronto run, the Barbie attraction opened at Santa Monica Place on Friday

It'll all be happening in the courtyard at the Fashion Place Mall Saturday from 10 a.m. Near Red Rock, so get your Barbie on and celebrate. The talented team of Paul Mitchell stylists will be onsite offering their expertise in dry styling to deliver fabulous looks in just 20 minutes. After welcoming more than 100,000 guests at its Toronto location, World of Barbie will make its U.S. debut this spring. "It's nostalgic and reminds us of our childhood. We're all in our last year of our 20s and Barbie was such a huge thing," one girl explained.

When you enter, the first place you walk through is Barbie's living room. The explosion of pink and bright colors sets a fun tone for the visit. Discover, explore, and revel in the iconic lifestyle and many careers of Barbie through a wide selection of interactive activities. After a huge success in Toronto, World of Barbie makes its US debut in Santa Monica. The production will also feature a museum exhibit where guests can see how Barbie, her Dreamhouse and her various vehicles have evolved over the years. The immersive activation — which opens at Santa Monica Place on April 14 — was imagined by live entertainment company Kilburn Live, Mattel, Inc. and global sports, fashion and events giant IMG.

She made herself right at home — as she should since we play Barbie hours upon hours every week. She relaxed on a hammock, pretended to drive the vehicle and honked the horn. Plenty of other people lined up to do the same.

One of the main theme's in the exhibit was all about dreaming big. "Barbie You Can Be Anything" has been one of Mattel's big collections in recent years so many of the interactive experiences played into that. My daughter left wanting to be an astronaut, musician and scientist.

World of Barbie is an immersive and interactive experience. All guests enter the premises and participate at their own risk, and release Kilburn Experiences 3, LLC, Mattel, Inc., their affiliates, successors, assignees, licensors and licensees from all liability of any nature while engaging in the event. Guests are encouraged but not required to wear masks during their visit. Guests are strictly prohibited from running, jumping, or climbing of any kind on the premises and/or within the experience. Strollers are not allowed inside World of Barbie.

On this particular Wednesday, the crowd was diverse — much like Barbie nowadays. There were several moms with their kids, some groups spanning four generations. Influencer-types taking selfies in Barbie's closet. (Some even had professional photographers trailing them around the space.) There were several people, women and men, dressed as Barbie themselves. By the end of my visit, I saw every age, gender and race represented in the crowd.

Don’t Hide Important Elements

Minimalist graphic design uses typography and design elements with a purpose to create a simple and usable visual display. Contrary to popular opinion, minimalism is not just stripping all of the “design” out of a project. The use of a minimalist direction in addition to a functional and user-friendly website is an excellent solution for online stores. See how easy it is to read the information, but the use of a white background does not make the design too simple. Neutral colors that are close to the environment are a new trend in minimalist design. If earlier all shades were cold and had a computer grayness, today the opposite effect is evident.

Accept that maintaining a minimalist home is an ongoing process.

Refashioned oak and pine beams from a train station become floating shelves above a classic marble-top iron table.

Review Your Content and UI Elements

When it comes to minimalist interior design, selecting the right lighting fixtures is crucial in achieving a harmonious and sophisticated look. Implementing practices like the 'one in, one out' rule helps prevent the accumulation of excess items, ensuring a streamlined and clutter-free home. By prioritizing quality over quantity, you can achieve a purposeful and organized living space that reflects a true embrace of minimalist principles. Let's embark on a journey to effortlessly clear surfaces, purposefully organize, and embrace a mindset of simplicity in our minimalist interior design quest.

These clean lines not only establish a visual flow but also help in organizing the space efficiently.

Minimalist Living Rooms in a Range of Styles That Focus on the Essential

Even though it may not look like a minimalist space in the traditional sense, the room can still follow many core principles of the movement—peaceful, purposeful, uncluttered—and remain true to you. “We approach minimalism as a desire to be mindful,” Clarke adds, which can be achieved in many different ways. In a minimalist design, an empty space works just like a form of a design element as accessories and furniture.

These pieces blend seamlessly into minimalist interiors, offering practical solutions while maintaining the sleek and uncluttered aesthetic desired in modern homes. A low-profile platform bed with a basic headboard makes the most of this tiny bedroom. Neutral accessories, including painted animal art and a flat-panel dresser, blend with white walls to keep the room uncluttered. A large pendant spray-painted to give the illusion of copper provides a funky focal point. Whether used in an entryway, foyer, or dining room, tulip tables provide the perfect touch of minimalist decor. Pair one with retro furniture for a midcentury look or rush chair seats for a farmhouse twist.

Shiplap paneling painted pale gray runs the length of this minimalist kitchen. The absence of upper cabinets showcases high ceilings and allows for unobstructed window views. Oversize light fixtures frame a rustic island accented with uncomplicated metal-base bar stools.

Don't forget to position a talking skeleton to engage with visitors, adding a fun yet spooky element to your door decor. For a floating effect, consider using fishing line or invisible thread with your hanging spider decorations. When hanging spider silhouettes for Halloween, make sure you secure them using tape, hooks, or pins to create a spooky atmosphere. From silhouette design tips to material options and hanging techniques, we've everything you need to create a spooky ambiance this Halloween season.

"The chase has an unintended purpose—that of a visual barrier, thus blocking a direct view into the workings of the busy open plan kitchen," says Weinreich. For example, minimalist furniture does not have frills and is known for featuring basic elements. This is also seen in a minimalist interior design as you will only see the necessary furniture. For a minimalist bedroom, you should only have the items you need such as a bed, dresser and maybe a reading chair if you find that necessary in your space.

The Washington Examiner is aware of the agent’s name and specific detail responsibilities but is withholding those details for privacy reasons. Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris‘s protective detail fought unarmed with other detail agents on Monday morning. The agent who instigated the fight was armed and grew aggressive with others, the Washington Examiner reported. A detail shift supervisor and special agent in charge attempted to cool them off, but then a fight broke out, according to the report.

After months of first praising Kennedy and then insisting that his candidacy would hurt Biden more, Trump has now accused Kennedy of being “a Democrat ‘Plant’” designed to help Biden win the election. The Secret Service works closely with the United States Attorney's Office in both protective and investigative matters. The agent had been at Joint Base Andrews to support Harris’ planned departure, but ultimately the scuffle did not delay her travel.

For federal agencies

Come join a diverse team with one of the most elite law enforcement agencies in the world. The Secret Service said an agent found the cocaine within a storage box where White House visitors drop their cellphones inside the West Wing lobby, which serves as a reception room for visitors of White House personnel. The Secret Service's review also included sifting through surveillance footage and visitor logs of several hundred individuals who had access to the West Wing lobby where the cocaine was found.

Secret Service agent on Harris detail involved in altercation before flight

A Secret Service agent tasked with protecting Vice President Kamala Harris brawled with several other agents on Monday morning, the agency confirmed. Eleven MPD officers were injured during the protests – none sustained life threatening injuries, but one is undergoing surgery today after suffering multiple compound fractures to his leg after a protester threw a rock at him, Newsham told reporters at a news conference Sunday. She was at the Naval Observatory, the vice president's residence, and Guglielmi said her departure was not affected.

Anyone who comes through the White House must give identifying information and pass through security before entering. Julia Ainsley is homeland security correspondent for NBC News and covers the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department for the NBC News Investigative Unit. The incident drew much public attention in recent days, including criticism from Republicans who accused the Biden administration of not doing enough to find the culprit. "You can't tell me in the White House with 24/7 surveillance and a cubbyhole by a situation room you don't know who left it there," McCarthy told reporters. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said the Secret Service shouldn't end its investigation.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday that the area is "heavily traveled" by staff and visitors, including those taking tours. The Oversight chairman said that the "alarming" incident requires the committee to examine the security practices at the White House and "determine whose failures led to an evacuation of the building and finding of the illegal substance." Washington — The Republican-led House Oversight and Accountability Committee will assess the security practices at the White House and is seeking information from the head of the U.S. Secret Service after a small bag of cocaine was discovered near a lobby in the West Wing over the weekend.

The Secret Service investigation has concluded with no usable forensic or video evidence identifying the person responsible, three Secret Service officials familiar with the investigation said. Secret Service spokesman Anthony Gugliemi said the agency determined that interviewing all 500 people could be a strain on resources, might infringe upon civil liberties and would likely be fruitless without corresponding physical evidence tying any person to the drugs. "At this time, the Secret Service's investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence," the Secret Service said in a statement Thursday.

Investigative mission

In a statement describing the events surrounding the cocaine's discovery, which began July 2, the Secret Service said as part of its review, it compiled a list of "several hundred" people who may have accessed the area where the substance was discovered. But no fingerprints could be found on the cocaine's packaging and there was "insufficient DNA" for "investigative comparisons," the Secret Service said. Washington — The U.S. Secret Service has closed its investigation into the bag of cocaine that was discovered at the White House earlier this month, but was unable to identify a suspect "due to a lack of physical evidence," the agency said Thursday.

That testing confirmed it was cocaine and determined it was not a biological threat like anthrax or ricin. The agency, along with the FBI, tested the packet to determine it was cocaine and looked for any fingerprints or DNA evidence. Video footage of the area where the baggie was found also provided no evidence to narrow the possible suspects beyond a list of roughly 500 staff members and visitors who passed through during a weekend earlier this month. WASHINGTON − The Secret Service concluded an investigation into cocaine found at the White House but was unable to determine who brought it into the building − nor do officials have any suspects. While awaiting the FBl's results, the Secret Service investigation into how this item entered the White House continued.

This executive protection is provided by the Security Protective Service and Protective Agents, who -- despite Hollywood depictions -- are actually federal law enforcement officers with police powers rather than agents from the ranks of the CIA's intelligence personnel. This is due in large part to the necessity of these officers to be able to arrest people, an authority intelligence officers lack. Our Canine Explosive Detection Unit provides a safe and secure environment for individuals and locations protected by the Secret Service.

Typically, foreign and defense ministers from important nations as well as others with high threats are typically covered by DSS.

Within the State Department, the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) has a high-profile personal protective function as well, highlighted whenever the secretary of state travels overseas. The secretary of state detail is DSS's largest permanent dignitary protective detail. Currently, the Secret Service provides protection to over 40 individuals on a full time bases and can provide temporary protection of almost 200 individuals -- as happens every September during the United Nations General Assembly in New York City.

Make a Boomerang That Actually Comes Back! : 10 Steps with Pictures

Anthropologists believe it was mostly a matter of trial and error. Boomerangs probably came about through a trial and error process. Eric Darnell throws his latest creation, the Scimitar--a foam boomerang with LED lights.

Step 9: Throwing Your Boomerang

There are even pro tours, which date back to 1985, when 10,000 screaming Parisian fans watched U.S. Boomerang Team members Chet Snouffer, Barnaby Ruhe, Peter Ruhf and Darnell set records. With this generation, Boomerang Design is creating opportunities for ALL to excel in their personal and professional goals. By elevating diverse perspectives, defining career pathways for female leaders, and creating meaningful opportunities for our people to engage with the community. Meet the leaders who are stepping up to champion these initiatives.

Step 6: How Do I Shape the Edges?

The grooves also form hollows that -- like the dimples on a golfball -- create a blunt airfoil, which increases lift. Darnell has himself set world records for endurance (43 catches in 5 minutes) and maximum time aloft (1 minute and 44 seconds). He says he isn't into the sport for the money, although he admits, "I make many happy returns."

Accurate Returning Boomerang From Plywood

For foam, all you'll need is a craft knife and some sandpaper to make one. However, if you're looking to keep your boomerang for longer without it wearing out, plywood is a great option. The following techniques in this article apply to both these materials. This is the same thing that is happening in a boomerang.

This process not only smoothens out any rough edges but also adds a polished look to the boomerang. To achieve this, you will need sandpaper with varying grits, ranging from coarse to fine, as well as a finish such as varnish or lacquer. The aerofoil-shaped section must face the inside of the thrower, and the flatter side outwards.

Lastly, it’s important to remember safety gear when working with woodworking tools and materials. Safety goggles should always be worn to protect your eyes from any wood particles or debris that may fly up during cutting or shaping. Boomerangs were, historically, used as hunting weapons, percussive musical instruments, battle clubs, fire-starters, decoys for hunting waterfowl, and as recreational play toys.

In this article, we will explore the art of creating a boomerang woodworking, from choosing the right materials and tools to adding distinguishing features and testing its flight. Today's long-distance boomerangs have almost all an S or ? – question mark shape and have a beveled edge on both sides (the bevel on the bottom side is sometimes called an undercut). Lift must be low because the boomerang is thrown with an almost total layover (flat).

To get the trailing edge airfoil shape, hold the boomerang at a shallow angle as you pass it over the bench sander. If you're using a rasp, file, or sanding block, simply clamp it to a table whilst you work. Pass the sandpaper over the edges at a shallow angle to establish an airfoil shape.

Guinness World Record – Smallest Returning Boomerang

When thrown correctly, a returning boomerang flies through the air in a circular path and arrives back at its starting point. A falling boomerang starts spinning, and most then fall in a spiral. When the boomerang is thrown with high spin, a boomerang flies in a curved rather than a straight line. When thrown correctly, a boomerang returns to its starting point.

You could also carve your boomerang, but I do not have the patience for that. In this lesson we use what we have learned about Aboriginal art to create our own designs for decorative boomerangs. Modern boomerang tournaments usually involve some or all of the events listed below[33][34][better source needed] In all disciplines the boomerang must travel at least 20 metres (66 ft) from the thrower. The thrower stands at the centre of concentric rings marked on an open field. Ad a few layers of polyurethane to finish the boomerang.

In addition to visual features, incorporating aerodynamic enhancements can greatly impact the performance of a boomerang woodworking. Adding small weights strategically around the edges can help stabilize flight and improve accuracy. Furthermore, experimenting with different shapes and angles can lead to innovative designs that offer improved distance and control when thrown. These various features allow for customization that reflects individual style and creativity while still maintaining respect for the traditional aspects of this ancient tool. A boomerang (/ˈbuːməræŋ/) is a thrown tool typically constructed with airfoil sections and designed to spin about an axis perpendicular to the direction of its flight. The amazing flight pattern of the new discovery didn't really help out much in taking down prey -- it actually made it harder to aim accurately -- but it was, of course, really cool.

The tri-wing boomerang is easy to make and it actually comes back. I chose this design because it is ideal for small yards like mine due to its shorter flight path as opposed to traditional styles of boomerangs. Other styles of boomerangs are made with the exact same steps, the only difference being the shape. I have found the tri-wing boomerang is this easiest to type of boomerang to make come back to your exact position because it has less distance to travel and thus less wind to contend with.

Aim the boomerang up and down the sideline of the field. Practice and repetition help you find the proper throw to improve performance. Once the wood is selected, it needs to be cut and shaped using tools such as saws, sanders, and chisels before being sanded smooth. When it comes to making a boomerang woodworking, choosing the right type of wood is crucial for the performance and durability of the final product. Different types of wood have distinct characteristics that can impact the flight and overall functionality of the boomerang.

Everybody knows boomerangs - that Australian toy that comes back to you when thrown. But is it really possible to create one of these marvels and have it work? This is certainly not the first instructable about making boomerangs, but I've been making boomerangs for a while now, and wanted to share my experience with everyone. If you're thinking to make one to add to your weapons arsenal, I'll have to disappoint you.

There was no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in this area. Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered. At this time, the Secret Service's investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence. Uniformed Division officers carry out their protective responsibilities through a network of fixed security posts, foot, bicycle, vehicular and motorcycle patrols.

“A US Secret Service special agent supporting the Vice President’s departure from Joint Base Andrews began displaying behavior their colleagues found distressing,” Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the US Secret Service, said to The Post. Federal law enforcement officials told CNN they are aware of outside groups who are behind some of the property destruction and violence, using the cover of the legitimate protests in Minneapolis and elsewhere. The agent "began displaying behavior their colleagues found distressing," Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the Secret Service, said in a statement Thursday.

The Secret Service has primary jurisdiction to investigate threats against Secret Service protectees as well as financial crimes, which include counterfeiting of U.S. currency or other U.S. Treasury checks, bonds or other securities; credit card fraud; telecommunications fraud; computer fraud, identify fraud and certain other crimes affecting federally insured financial institutions. The Secret Service is interested in legitimate information relating to threats, plans or attempts by individuals, groups or organizations to harm Secret Service protectees. However, the agency does not desire or solicit information pertaining to individuals or groups expressing legitimate criticism of, or political opposition to, the policies and decisions of the government or government officials. A story in the Washington Examiner, which first broke the news, said the agent was involved in an altercation with other Secret Service personnel.

The Marshals did not have the manpower to investigate all crime under federal jurisdiction, so the Secret Service began investigating a wide range of crimes from murder to bank robbery to illegal gambling. The USSS plays a leading role in facilitating relationships between other law enforcement entities, the private sector, and academia. The service maintains the Electronic Crimes Task Forces, which focus on identifying and locating international cyber criminals connected to cyber intrusions, bank fraud, data breaches, and other computer-related crimes.

The agency said there was no surveillance footage found that provided investigative leads or other ways for investigators to identify who the cocaine belonged to. Richard Frankel is an ABC News contributor and retired FBI special agent who was the special agent in charge of the FBI's Newark Division and prior to that, the FBI's NY Joint Terrorism TASK force. He is currently the Vice President of Investigation for T&M Protection Resources. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has a protective detail provided by the U.S.

Tests conducted at this facility came back negative and gave formal confirmation that the substance was not biological in nature. The Secret Service led the investigation into how the cocaine ended up at the White House and said as part of its review, it would look over surveillance footage and entrance logs to determine who had access to the area where it was found. The cocaine, contained in a small Ziploc bag, was found in a cubby used by visitors to store cellphones and other personal items before entering the West Wing. The Secret Service described the location of the substance as "inside a vestibule leading to the lobby area of the West Executive Avenue entrance to the White House."

A preliminary test conducted by the District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department soon after the substance was found indicated it was cocaine. Marshals Service have delineated personal protective functions focused on individuals within the DOJ framework. Every single individual in Congress that holds leadership positions, including the speaker of the House, House minority leader, Senate president pro tempore, Senate majority and minority leaders as well as the whips in those chambers, receives personal protection from the U.S.

The Secret Service is responsible for securing the White House and is leading the investigation. Homeland Security’s National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center analyzed the item for any biothreats. Tests conducted at the facility came back negative and gave formal confirmation that the substance was not a biological threat. The complex was briefly evacuated as a precaution when the white powder was found. The fire department was called in to test the substance on the spot to determine whether it was hazardous, and the initial test came back negative for a biohazard but positive for cocaine. U.S. Secret Service agents found the white powder during a routine White House sweep on July 2, in a heavily trafficked West Wing lobby where staff go in and out and tour groups gather to drop their phones and other belongings.

We rely on meticulous advance work and threat assessments to identify potential risks to protectees. Since the agency's inception, a variety of weapons have been carried by its agents. Harris was not affected by the incident, which took place at Joint Base Andrews while she was at the Naval Observatory, according to the Secret Service. Pete Hoekstra, the chairman of the Michigan Republican Party and a former longtime House member himself, said in an interview on Friday that there had been rumblings about Mr. Meijer’s exit from the race. Justin Amash, who was the only sitting Republican member of Congress to support Mr. Trump’s first impeachment, remains in the race.

CT3Cruise Terminal 3 is home to Carnival Mardi Gras — the cruise line’s largest class of ship to date and the first in North America to run on cleaner-burning LNG. The terminal is the largest single project in the port’s history and measures a staggering 185,000 square feet. If you are driving to the Port Canaveral Cruise Port, the Official Port Canaveral Cruise Parking is the most convenient option available. This “official” cruise parking is the only area directly adjacent to each of Port Canaveral’s cruise terminals. These shuttle options may include shuttles from the airport to the cruise terminal and/or hotel shuttles from the airport.

With a Cruise Plus Hotel Package, a Princess representative meets you at the airport and pier, transporting you to and from your hotel. The package includes the cost of your hotel stay, transportation, luggage handling and the services of the representative. In August 2023, Port Canaveral commissioners allocated US$67,46 million for constructing two northside cruise parking garages. The larger facility (an 8-level garage with capacity 1940 vehicles) is adjacent to Terminals 5 and 6, while the smaller one (a 6-level garage with capacity 1081 vehicles) is near Terminal 10. In FY2017, the cruise port handled 4,52+ million passengers (6,4% increase over FY2016). The number of multi-day passengers (4,234+ million) was 7,1% increase over 2016.

That rate is considerably less than what the port charges, though you don’t get the convenience of parking right at the ship. Not every cruise ship that calls Port Canaveral home heads to the Caribbean or Bahamas. Victory Casino Cruises operates out of CT2, next door to CT3 (the new Carnival terminal). The casino ship runs two daily trips (most days) to out-of-state waters where gambling is legal. Normally there are dozens of agents working, making the line move quickly. Once at the agent’s desk, you’ll set up your onboard spending account (if you didn’t already online), get your room key and then head to the ship.

They're expansive and immersive escapes into playful worlds, not unlike a great cruise. I love tacking on an extra day or two at an Orlando theme park, usually before my cruise departs. I always appreciate the days of racking up thousands of steps traversing a theme park before boarding a cruise, where I know I'll be able to lounge on a deck or relax in a hot tub.

This will entail taking a shuttle from the lot to the cruise terminal. Some of these options include Contrans Shuttle Service, Cocoa Beach Shuttle, and Mears Transportation. Of course, some hotels themselves offer transportation, sometimes complimentary, from the airport. Most often, these shuttles are a shared service and run on a set time schedule. Cruise Terminal 3 is the brand new cruise terminal set to process Carnival Mardi Gras passengers. This $163 million project includes a 188,000 square foot terminal and an adjacent garage accommodating 1,800 cars.

Carnival Breeze also offers a water park with waterslides on its top decks, a miniature golf course, a sports court for basketball and volleyball, and multiple pools. One of three ships in the line's Dream class that date to the late 2000s and early 2010s, the 3,690-passenger Carnival Breeze is no longer the newest or snazziest ship in the Carnival fleet. At around 130,000 tons, it's about 29% smaller than Carnival's newer Excel-class ships and has fewer venues, from bars and restaurants to entertainment spaces.

Unveiled in 2022, Norwegian Prima is the first of a new class of Norwegian vessel that the line has designed to be "elevated," in its words, as compared to earlier Norwegian ships. Disney Magic is also home to multiple pool areas and indoor children's zones that cover almost an entire deck, plus multiple themed restaurants that Disney fans will love.
