Dean's Message This is how it all started in 2017… Two months later, I was Val’s assistant Dean for 2018. I am so humbled at the positive feedback to the Bonus Track last year and hope that the offerings of classes this year meet with your expectations again. Although the Costume College Theme, “What’s That Fabric,” was a challenge to incorporate into the individual events, I am happy with the results. My predecessor, Val, certainly set the stage of expectation and I am working hard to fill her fabulous shoes. I have an amazing team of Committee Members and I couldn’t ask more from their hard work, enthusiasm, and dedication. And I want to take this opportunity to thank two ladies in particular who had to coordinate two absolutely brand new experiences for our guests: Diana Rotheneger with the Friday Night Group Showcase, and Mela Hoyt-Heydon with the Sunday Evening Trunk Show. Please read more about these extraordinary events within this Registration Book. So now YOU are here, ready to sign up for classes, ready to review what we have in store, and ready to read up on all of our exceptionally talented volunteer teachers. Please take a moment to read EVERYTHING in this book, as there is a wealth of information to be had. Don’t forget to bring your Registration Book to College with you (see Special Announcement). We’ve had record breaking numbers in Registration, in Hotel Bookings, and in selling out the Gala and Tea so quickly. This College is ever growing and we are improving to our best ability to provide everyone with the most they can get out of this fabulous conference. We have two AMAZING guest teachers, so please be sure to read about them. And we have more wonderful photographers than ever, both studio and roaming, with opportunities to obtain printed photos during and after college. If you are NEW, please join me and our Programming Chair Tana Donaghy at Freshman Orientation before classes start, 8:00am in Salon F. You will hear entertaining stories and quick tips, but be sure to read this Registration Book to get an idea of what to expect from your 4 days at Costume College. If you are RETURNING there are many, many changes, from the Pool Party (which is going to be bigger than ever), to the Group Showcase, to the surprises at the Gala and Tea, and ending the weekend with a new offering of the Trunk Show on Sunday. Even Exhibits is in a new place! There is a Guest Teacher Q&A session on Thursday, Roaming Photographers, and (hopefully) Live Streaming at the Red Carpet. Lots of changes, and in my opinion, ALL wonderful changes in order to accommodate our ever-growing convention. It was 10 years ago exactly that I was the last Dean to host Costume College at the Airtel Hotel in Van Nuys. In those 10 years we have grown and changed tremendously. But the one thing that hasn’t changed is that feeling of being with my kindred spirits. I so look forward to seeing you and all your glorious costumes soon! Now, on to the reading! Maegen Hensley Dean, Costume College 2019 - www.costumecollege.net - 1 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: This Registration Book is ALSO your Program Book Be sure to KEEP this Registration Book. We will NOT be publishing a separate “Program” book this year. We will again be providing the Pocket Guide when you check in — the smaller booklet for the Programming schedule, updates, and any other pertinent information. But this book will retain all of the Hotel & Local Business Information class details, teacher bios, and event announcements that will not be published anywhere else other than online. A very limited amount of replacement Registration Books will be available at College, but they will be first come, first serve at the Information Desk. SWATCH BOOKS: Returning students, bring your 2018 Swatch Book with you! If you are a returning student, we ask that you bring your swatch book back to College with you so that you may add to it .There will be additional sheets with different fabrics on them for you upon check-in, as well as more classes with swatches offered, and blank pages available to add to your binder. If you threw away your binder, you may want to bring an empty one. 2019 Swatch Binders will be available to NEW students only, but everyone will receive the inserts and a new binder cover. Warner Center Marriott Woodland Hills YOU ARE HERE! Just a couple of quick reminders about our lovely home for the weekend: • If you have an issue with your room, contact the Front Desk. Be nice and understanding, and they will extend the same courtesy. We want them to want us back, so forgive the little things, and calmly report the big things. Should your issue be beyond the help of the Front Desk, please ask the Information Desk to radio/call the Hotel Liaison. • Please be courteous to our hosts. Tip your bellman, valet, housekeepers, and wait staff. Staff changes daily, so tip daily – you won’t always have the same housekeeper or waiter. • The hotel is HUGE, and therefore full of guests who are not attending Costume College. Please be aware of those guests and polite when they ask to take a picture with you. • Scholarship Winners, we’ve had issues in the past regarding splitting up your rooms and getting your scholarship applied. Please make sure your name is on your reservation upon check-in. Thank you!

Due to the sheer magnitude of the species, it's not surprising to learn that there's great diversity within the order of Coleoptera, from the pincer-like mandibles of stag beetles to the gem-like hardened forewings, called elytras, of jewel beetles. Let's start our brief crash course into the most remarkable Coleopteras with a look at one of the most well-known and adorable beetle species: the ladybird beetle. Commonly known as ladybugsthese small, polka-dotted beauties are natural pest controllers — they love to feast on aphids and other insects that threaten gardens, orchards and crops. Despite the vital role they play in agriculture, sometimes ladybirds can seem like pests themselves. During the winter months, these otherwise solitary beetles can be found cozying up to each other in massive clumps called "aggregations. Ladybirds don't carry diseases, nor do they damage structures or lay eggs indoors. Also known as doodlebugs or maybugs, cockchafers belong to the genus Melolontha and are easily identified by the distinctive "leaves" protruding from their antennae. These flamboyantly coiffed beetles once existed in great numbers throughout Europe, and their voracious appetites made them a common agricultural nuisance.

Built to inter- national standards, the National Museum has become the centerpiece for showcasing Iraq’s rich cultural heritage to both researchers and the public alike. It has thus been a tragedy that the museum will be forever remembered for the shameful looting of 10-12 April 2003, but this event nonetheless galvanized national and international efforts to restore both the museum and its priceless collection of artifacts. Restoration of the museum premises and exhibition halls has been supported by Japan, Italy and the U.S.A. and UNESCO; while the effort to recover stolen artifacts continues, the museum now boasts a laboratory, supported by these same countries and UNESCO, which is able to maintain and repair damaged artifacts.
