The photos show up fine. The ABAT looks a whole lot like a masters or doctoral robe.

Yup.. it’s an amazing plugin Mark.. However, for some reason the plugin is not working properly on Buzberry.. I also have problems with the “read more” issue too..

I’m 69 years old, an expat, born in kuwait. Kuwait has changed a lot more than it should be. Kuwaitis used to be the most humble people in the Arabian Gulf. Now, Its the same place, but new attitudes and considerations.
I look at my grandson, he goes to school, comes back with a lot of problems, anger and complaints. The locals, are now worst then the foreigners.
Under the influence, the foreigner youth especially the girls astray the path of their tradition. What a pitty?
Our young ones are getting spoiled.
May be one of us take a step towards a new kuwait, similar to the old one, my kuwait.
I can only advise, in the view of my past 69 years. Expat youth should stop impostering as Kuwaitis, try more to be yourself, the soil you belong to.
