Those that have married in to Royal Families since 1800

Jordan

Lisa Halaby

The future Queen Noor was born Lisa Najeeb Halaby in Washington, D.C. She is the daughter of Najeeb Halaby and Doris Carlquist. Her father was a Navy experimental test pilot, an airline executive, and government official. He served as United States Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Truman administration, before being appointed by John F. Kennedy to head the Federal Aviation Administration. Najeeb Halaby also had a private-sector career, serving as CEO of Pan American World Airways from 1969 to 1972. The Halabys had two children following Lisa; a son, Christian, and a younger daughter, Alexa. They divorced in 1977.

Halaby attended schools in New York and California before entering National Cathedral School from fourth to eighth grade. She attended The Chapin School in New York City for two years, then went on to graduate from Concord Academy in Massachusetts. She entered Princeton University with its first coeducational freshman class, and received a BA in architecture and urban planning in 1973. At Princeton she was also a member of the school's first women's ice hockey team.

After she graduated from Princeton, Halaby moved to Australia, where she worked for a firm that specialized in planning new towns with a burgeoning interest in the Middle East which because of her Syrian roots had special appeal.

After a year, she accepted a job offer from Llewelyn Davies, a British architectural and planning firm, in 1975 which had been employed to design a model Capitol city center in Tehran, Iran.

When increasing political instability forced the company to relocate to the UK, she traveled to the Arab World and decided to apply to Columbia University’s graduate school of Journalism while taking a temporary aviation facility research job in Amman.

Eventually, she left Arab Air and accepted a job with Alia Airlines to become Director of Facilities Planning and Design. Halaby and the king became friends while he was still mourning the death of his wife. Their friendship evolved and the couple became engaged in 1978.

Before her marriage, she accepted her husband's Sunni Islamic religion and upon the marriage, the royal name Noor Al-Hussein ("Light of Hussein"). The wedding was a traditional Muslim ceremony. Although many assumed that she would be initially regarded as a stranger to the country instead as an Arab-American Halaby, she was considered an Arab returning home rather than a foreigner.

She soon gained power and influence by using her role as King Hussein's consort and her education in urban planning for charitable work and improvement to the country's economy. Noor assumed management of the royal household and three stepchildren, Princess Haya bint Al Hussein, Prince Ali bin Al Hussein and Abir Muhaisen (her husband's children by Queen Alia).

Noor and Hussein had four children: Prince Hamzah (born 29 March 1980), Crown Prince from 1999 to 2004 Prince Hashim (born 10 June 1981), Princess Iman (born 24 April 1983), and Princess Raiyah (born 9 February 1986).

Queen Noor founded the King Hussein Foundation (KHF) in 1979. It includes the Noor Al Hussein Foundation and 8 specialized development institutions: the Jubilee Institute, the Information and Research Center, the National Music Conservatory, the National Center for Culture and Arts and the Institute for Family Health, the Community Development Program, Tamweelcom the Jordan Micro Credit Company and the Islamic micro finance company, Ethmar.

She is the Honorary Chairperson of JOrchestra. In addition, Noor launched a youth initiative, the International Arab Youth Congress, in 1980. International agenda She is chair of King Hussein Foundation International, a US non-profit 501 which, since 2001, has awarded the King Hussein Leadership Prize.

Following a long battle with lymphatic cancer, King Hussein died on 7 February 1999.

Noor divides her time among Jordan, Washington, D.C., and the United Kingdom (in London and at her country residence, Buckhurst Park, near Winkfield in Berkshire). She continues to work on behalf of numerous international organizations.

She speaks Arabic, English and French. The queen also enjoys skiing, water skiing, tennis, sailing, horseback riding, reading, gardening and photography

11/11/2017: Queen Noor, Princess Iman bint Al Hussein and grandchildren join KHF family including Jubilee Institute students and community members in planting trees at King Hussein Foundation green complex, adjacent to KHF solar farm.

Queen Noor noted: "Today’s initiative reflects KHF commitment to ‘green Jordan', which builds on King Hussein’s belief in sustainable development and conservation of nature for generations to come”.

Pihak Maritim Indonesia ceroboh perairan negara untuk tangkap bot nelayan tempatan

Agensi Penguatkuasaan Maritim Malaysia (Maritim Malaysia) memaklumkan sebuah bot nelayan tempatan ditahan pihak penguasa Indonesia semalam ketika masih berada dalam perairan Malaysia.

Penahanan bot nelayan tempatan PKFB 1689 yang berasal dari Pantai Remis, Perak itu melibatkan empat pekerja iaitu seorang warga Thailand dan tiga warga Kemboja.

Timbalan Ketua Pengarah (Operasi) Maritim Malaysia Datuk Mohd Zubil Mat Som berkata kejadian itu merupakan tangkapan yang keempat membabitkan bot nelayan tempatan oleh pihak penguasa Indonesia di dalam perairan Malaysia sepanjang bulan Februari ini (2019).

"Kejadian ini dilihat sebagai satu pencerobohan oleh pihak berkuasa asing ke dalam perairan Malaysia dan ia boleh mencetuskan sensitiviti terhadap kedaulatan maritim negara,”katanya dalam satu kenyataan semalam.

Menurutnya, pada kira-kira 10.38 pagi semalam Pusat Operasi Maritim Malaysia menerima aduan daripada pemilik sebuah bot nelayan tempatan mengenai kehadiran kapal penguasa Indonesia pada posisi kira-kira 55.4 batu nautika dari barat Pulau Talang, Perak, perairan Malaysia.

Sejurus itu pada kira-kira 10.45 pagi, kapal Maritim Malaysia iaitu KM Gagah telah ditugaskan ke lokasi kejadian.

Pada masa yang sama, katanya Maritim Malaysia telah menjejaki pergerakan bot PKFB 1689 menerusi pancaran kecemasan dari sistem identifikasi automatik bot dan mendapati ia masih berada dalam perairan Malaysia.

"Melalui sistem pengesanan ini, didapati pada jam 10.38 pagi bot nelayan PKFB 1689 telah dikejar, dan kemudiannya pada posisi 58.8 batu nautika barat laut Pulau Talang, Perak, bot itu telah ditarik memasuki perairan Indonesia pada jam lebih kurang 1.29 tengah hari menghala ke Medan, Indonesia,” katanya.

Menurutnya, bot nelayan tersebut yang dipasang dengan peralatan pengesanan raptor menunjukkan pada kira-kira 10.30 pagi, tekong bot PKFB 1689 telah menekan butang kecemasan sebanyak empat kali iaitu pada 10.30 pagi, 10.31 pagi, 10.32 pagi dan 11.10 pagi.

Tindakan pantas pihak Maritim Malaysia bagaimanapun telah berjaya membantu membebaskan bot nelayan PKFB 1689 daripada ditahan pihak berkuasa Indonesia di 99.72 kilometer dari barat Pulau Talang, Perak di perairan Malaysia.  

Mohd Zubil berkata Maritim Malaysia telah menghubungi pihak Kedutaan Indonesia di Kuala Lumpur dan Konsular Indonesia di Pulau Pinang bagi mendapatkan maklumat mengenai insiden itu.

Menurutnya, sebelum ini pada 2 Feb (2019), dua bot tempatan iaitu KHF 1980 dan KHF 2598 telah ditahan penguasa Indonesia di kedudukan kira-kira 68.6 batu nautika barat daya Pulau Pinang dan 4.4 batu nautika dalam kawasan Zon Ekonomi Eksklusif.

"Berdasarkan rekod pergerakan bot tersebut, sistem AIS (Automatic Identification System) menunjukkan bot itu telah ditahan dalam perairan Malaysia,” katanya.

Kedua-dua bot itu kini dilaporkan berada di pangkalan PSDKP, Lampulo, Acheh, Indonesia, katanya.

Pada 3 Feb pula, sebuah bot PKFB 1593 telah ditahan oleh TNI AL-KRI Lemadang 632 di posisi kira-kira 57.1 batu nautika dari Tg Piandang, Kerian, Perak.

Menurutnya, maklumat yang diterima daripada pemilik bot menyatakan bot terbabit berada di Belawan, Indonesia.

Mohd Zubil berkata satu nota bantahan diplomatik telah diusulkan kepada Kementerian Luar bagi memprotes insiden yang berlaku dalam perairan Malaysia.

"Maritim Malaysia akan meningkatkan rondaan dan pengawasan terutamanya di kawasan bertindih dan turut mengingatkan nelayan agar berhati-hati supaya tidak memasuki perairan negara jiran,” katanya.

Pemilik bot tempatan digalakkan untuk memasang AIS atau Vessel Tracking System bagi memudahkan pengesanan bot mereka serta juga sebagai bahan bukti posisi bot, katanya.

Ripple Price Analysis: XRP a “Stable”, Range-bound

Ripple Price is surprisingly ranging within a 6-cents zone.

Bulls yet to break above the all-important resistance level at 40 cents

Kuwait House Finance Adopts Ripple’s Technologies

Bitrue avails four more trading pairs with XRP as base

Although participants are raving about Ripple (XRP), prices are stable and confined within a 6 cents trade range. Unless otherwise there are sharp gains above 40 cents, we shall recommend taking a neutral stand.

Ripple Price Analysis

Interestingly, XRP—a coin which we all saw erupt from 25 cents a while back, is close to becoming “stable.” XRP is up a mere three percent in the last 24 hours and virtually unchanged in the previous week against the greenback. At this rate, it is clear that prices are accumulating and founding the bases for the next upsides that would probably lead to a retest of Sep 2018 highs. In the meantime, fundamental developments are far and in between meaning technical candlestick formations are what traders use to fine tune entries in lower time frames.

Fundamentals

It seems like Binance came late to the XRP base party. Days after it listed XRP as one of the base pairs in their ALTS category, Bitrue traders have the option of trading four XRP base pairs in HOT/XRP, NT/XRP, NPXS/XRP, and PRO/XRP. It is no surprise because the exchange made XRP base on launch date and this was just a formality increasing options for coin traders.

#2 Week of 2019 @BitrueOfficial

We're happy to bring to you: $HOT/ $XRP, $NPXS/ $XRP, $DNT/ $XRP, & $PRO/ $XRP! 4 NEW XRP Base-Pairs which shall arrive by end of the week! @Curis_Wang

Further Ripple tailwinds flew in from the Middle East when Kuwait House of Finance said it would leverage Ripple’s technologies to process their cross-border fund transfer. Their announcement was ambiguous because we are yet to know whether this “cross-border, zero fees, Instant International Transfer remittance service” will be based off xCurrent, xRapid or whether it has upgraded to xCurrent version 1.4 where they can easily incorporate xRapid:

“KHF has started operating an instant cross-border remittance service using Ripple’s blockchain technology. The zero fees, “Instant International Transfer” service is available now in Saudi Riyal SAR where customers can make remittance transactions to beneficiaries at Al Rajhi Bank.”

Technicals

XRP prices are not only oscillating within a minor 6 cents zone but prices are ranging within Dec 28 high low. Although we are settled on bulls and looking forward to strong gains above 40 cents, we are resigned to staying neutral as this accumulation stretch.

Technically, candlestick formation hints of bulls thanks to events of mid-Dec 2018 but unless otherwise there are confirmations, we shall best trade in line with previous XRP/USD trade plan. In that case, only sharp gains above 40 cents accompanied by above average volumes would probably sling prices back to 80 cents. If not and XRP drop below 34 cents—Dec 28 lows and even 30 cents, chances are XRP will sink below 25 cents erasing Sep 2018 gains.

Technical Indicators

Volumes are low—way below the Dec 24 bulls—124 million versus 54 million average. As prices accumulate, the breakout bar volumes should exceed current transaction averages.

Lisa Halaby

The future Queen Noor was born Lisa Najeeb Halaby in Washington, D.C. She is the daughter of Najeeb Halaby and Doris Carlquist. Her father was a Navy experimental test pilot, an airline executive, and government official. He served as United States Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Truman administration, before being appointed by John F. Kennedy to head the Federal Aviation Administration. Najeeb Halaby also had a private-sector career, serving as CEO of Pan American World Airways from 1969 to 1972. The Halabys had two children following Lisa; a son, Christian, and a younger daughter, Alexa. They divorced in 1977.

Halaby attended schools in New York and California before entering National Cathedral School from fourth to eighth grade. She attended The Chapin School in New York City for two years, then went on to graduate from Concord Academy in Massachusetts. She entered Princeton University with its first coeducational freshman class, and received a BA in architecture and urban planning in 1973. At Princeton she was also a member of the school's first women's ice hockey team.

After she graduated from Princeton, Halaby moved to Australia, where she worked for a firm that specialized in planning new towns with a burgeoning interest in the Middle East which because of her Syrian roots had special appeal. 

After a year, she accepted a job offer from Llewelyn Davies, a British architectural and planning firm, in 1975 which had been employed to design a model Capitol city center in Tehran, Iran. 

When increasing political instability forced the company to relocate to the UK, she traveled to the Arab World and decided to apply to Columbia University’s graduate school of Journalism while taking a temporary aviation facility research job in Amman. 

Eventually, she left Arab Air and accepted a job with Alia Airlines to become Director of Facilities Planning and Design. Halaby and the king became friends while he was still mourning the death of his wife. Their friendship evolved and the couple became engaged in 1978.
