Systems Thinking
Managing Chaos and Complexity: A Platform for Designing Business Architecture
In a global market economy, a viable business cannot be locked into a single form or function anymore. Rather, success is contingent upon a self-renewing capacity to spontaneously create structures, functions, and processes responsive to a fluctuating business landscape. Now in its third edition, Systems Thinking synthesizes systems theory and interactive design, providing an operational methodology for defining problems and designing solutions in an environment increasingly characterized by chaos and complexity.
The current edition has been updated to include all new chapters on self-organizing systems, Holistic, Operational, and Design thinking. Gharajedaghi covers recent crises in financial systems and job markets, the housing bubble, and environment, assessing their impact on systems thinking. A companion website to accompany the book is available at www.interactdesign.com.

Join us for the City Museum's P Credit courses for educators featuring leading historians, engaging gallery tours, and hands-on workshops. Read more below for details about the courses and how to register.
General Information
The Museum of the City of New York offers Professional-Credit (P Credit) Courses throughout the year. These courses are open to all educators.
P Credit in-service courses are offered in conjunction with the New York City Department of Education's After School Professional Development Program (ASPDP) and can be applied towards teachers' 30+ salary differential. ASPDP courses may also be used by teachers and paraprofessionals toward the NYS 175 hours of Professional Development requirement, as long as their principal approves. For more information on DOE salary differentials, please visit their website.
Course Information
Monday, July 13 – Saturday, July 18, 2015
9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Bring New York City's unique history to life through exhibitions, artifacts, primary sources, and dialogue! From Mannahatta to Manhattan: Learning New York City History In-Depth provides a survey of the city's history through the collections and exhibitions of the Museum of the City of New York, historian lectures, walking tours, and hands-on workshops. The emphasis of the course is on providing teachers with content knowledge and pedagogic tools to engage their students in the study of their own city. The course spans topics such as Mannahatta (a Lenape settlement), Dutch New Amsterdam, immigration, the evolution of transportation, urban planning, and social activism. During each session, participants will use the City Museum's collection of primary sources as a vehicle for developing techniques to enhance students' observational skills and improve their descriptive language and expository writing while making personal connections to the past. Drawing from the Danielson Rubric and the Common Core State Standards, participants will learn strategies such as interpreting information presented visually, orally, or quantitatively (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.4.7), and use them to enhance language while understanding and remembering history. Participants will learn strategies for designing their own Museum lessons, create pre- and post-visit activities based on the Museum's exhibitions, and discover ways of utilizing the Museum resources. Participants will also receive regular feedback from the facilitator and their peers as they hone their lesson plans (Danielson.4E). At the conclusion of the institute, each participant will have created three lesson plans and will leave with a handbook of original activities created by their peers.
Registration for Course 1: MANNAHATTA TO MANHATTAN is a two-step process.
Step 1: Register for P Credit and pay the NYC DOE ASPDP Course Fee of $125 through the ASPDP course catalog here. Please be sure that you are registering for Course Code: P26.206.1SS15: From Mannahatta to Manhattan: Learning New York City History In-Depth.
Step 2: Register through the City Museum and pay the educational partner and materials fee of $250 through our ticketing website: Register for Course 1: Mannahatta to Manhattan.

In this dynamic six-day program, participants will learn how to use the camera to capture their personal relationship to New York City while learning the history behind some of the city's most iconic structures and places. Each participant will be provided with a high-quality camera for use during the program. Capturing the City through the Camera will expose educators to a blend of history, urban observation, and the art and practice of photography. Participants will learn about a variety of techniques and processes, including point-of-view, cyanotype prints, and portraiture. Throughout the course, educators will view and discuss photographs both from the Museum's collection and those taken by each other. Educators will hone their skills through observation and discussion, enriching and improving their own work each day. At the end of the course, participants will curate their best photographs and combine them with photographs from the Museum's collection to form their final projects. Each participant will have the opportunity to explore the Museum's collections via exhibitions and behind-the-scenes archive and digital lab tours and will gain experience using digital cameras to develop their compositional skills considering the lighting, framing, perspective, and tone of the images they produce. In addition to photographing the major components of the city, such as buildings, parks, landmarks, and people, participants will study important photographers such as Jacob Riis, Berenice Abbott, and Stanley Kubrick. Each session will focus on one of these subjects and will incorporate a viewing of important works from the Museum's renowned photography collection, lively discussions, guest visits from curators, neighborhood field trips with exciting photographic projects, and sharing sessions to present participant work.

Monday, August 10 – Saturday, August 15, 2015
9:00 am - 4:00 pm
New York City has never been known as a place where people keep their views to themselves. Not only do New Yorkers speak their minds, they also have a long history of mobilizing around issues they believe in. The city's abundant energy for social change emerges in part from its history as a place where people from all over the nation and the world converge. Taking a Stand features historian presentations, discussions with activists, exhibition explorations and tours, and hands-on workshops – all focusing on bringing the history of social activism into the present. Each day of the course will feature a morning presentation highlighting issues such as civil rights, food justice, music as activism, environmental activism, and gay rights followed by gallery tours and discussions with contemporary activists. Participants will have time during the day to create lesson plans and will present their lesson plans during the midterm and finals. The course will draw on the Common Core State Standards to engage participants in strategies for implementing course content in the classroom. In order to ensure that the teachers get the most out of the content delivered and the pedagogy skills modeled, at the end of each day participants will work either individually or in pairs to create a hands-on, interactive activity for their students. The activities they create will eventually be part of their midterm and final projects and will also be part of a final portfolio they will receive at the end of the session. Participants will be asked to reference specific components of the Danielson Rubric illustrated by their lesson plans. By participating in the course, grade 2-12 educators will learn how to teach the study of social activism from multiple viewpoints, examining opposing sides of complex debates and charting the diverse perspectives that existed within activist movements.
Registration for Course 4: TAKING A STAND is a two-step process.
Step 1: Register for P Credit and pay the NYC DOE ASPDP Course Fee of $125 through the ASPDP course catalog here. Please be sure that you are registering for Course Code: P26.209.1SS15: Taking a Stand: New York City Activism in the 20th Century.
Step 2: Register through the City Museum and pay the educational partner and materials fee of $250 through our ticketing website: Register for Course 4: Taking a Stand.

The following is from my "Moving to Hawaii – The Good, Bad, and Ugly" ebook that is now free over there on the right side column.
If you'd rather download the MP3 to listen to later, get it here: Welcome to Hawaii Intro (right click, save as)
Passengers seated all around me on the plane cheered as the wheels of our United Airlines 747 touched down, and I thought – what is this? Why were people cheering so loudly for a plane landing?
I guess I had mixed feelings about arriving on Oahu. I was nearly five thousand miles from the place I grew up in Western Pennsylvania. I was coming to Oahu as my first duty station in the U.S. Air Force. According to everyone's reaction around me in tech school where I received my orders, I'd hit the jackpot for my first permanent duty station at Hickam Air Force Base, Honolulu, Hawaii. Many of my teachers at my technical training school in Biloxi, Mississippi told me that Hickam was the best assignment the Air Force had available.
I wasn't at all sure about that. I had never even once thought about moving to Hawaii before the orders came. The only thing I ever heard or saw about Hawaii was the Brady Bunch television episode where they went on vacation and had a tarantula in one of their hotel room beds.
Flying from Pittsburgh to Honolulu took about nine hours. I didn't sleep at all, my mind spun with possibilities. I wondered if it was possible after I arrived and didn't like it if maybe it wasn't too late to trade my orders to go somewhere else. I knew I was stuck in Hawaii, but I didn't want to admit it to myself. I'd probably be there four years. It felt a bit like a prison sentence at the time.
After the cheers and claps, my arms tingled and I got what Hawaiians call "chicken skeenz". Then the pilot said warmly over the speakers, "Aloha, and welcome to the lovely island of Oahu, Hawaii!" Once again, applause and cheers erupted from everyone on the plane – except me. I smiled nervously, but it was all I could manage.
Looking back on it, I couldn't have been more clueless about what Hawaii was all about. Many of those around me on the plane already knew. They had been to the Hawaiian Islands before and they were obviously excited about returning. I remember people talking excitedly about arriving in Honolulu and all that they would do. I remember the flight attendants were gorgeous, and extra delightful. After we landed, everyone smiled, joked and laughed as if they were old friends.
Looking out the small windows of our plane as we taxied, I saw the most picture-perfect sunny day. As I walked down the corridor and stepped into the airport, I remember seeing more Asian people than I'd ever seen before in my life. We had one adopted Chinese girl in our town, and later we had a family from Vietnam that was sponsored by a family friend. Sadly, that was the extent of my seeing people from other cultures!
Everyone appeared to be so happy inside the Honolulu International Airport. It was surreal. Somewhere ukulele music played softly. The space was bright and airy. The scent of Plumeria (Frangipani), Tuberose, and Arabian Jasmine flowers hung in the air from the many leis being handed out by tour guides.
I was already completely overwhelmed with the beauty of Hawaii, and I was still in the airport!
I remember clearly, my body was tingling when I walked out of the airport on that very warm day of March 8, 1985. I was wrapped in a dreamy state that I can only describe as magical.
That first day I still remember vividly. At 11:30 a.m. after I had collected my bags, I met with Staff Sergeant Gallagher. "Bob" was my new supervisor at my job as one of the mail delivery persons at Hickam Air Force Base. We drove to the base where I checked into the dorm. There, I was also stunned by the beauty of Hickam AFB. It was like a resort! It was nice enough to be on Robin Leech's Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Hickam was stunningly beautiful.
Imagine me, later that week almost slipping into a pleasure-coma when I finally got to see the beaches and ocean in Waikiki, Makapu'u, Kahana, Kailua, and the views at the Pali Lookout and the North Shore.
I walked around with my head in the clouds for weeks, not fully understanding why I was there, and not sure it wasn't all going to just disappear when I woke up from the dream.
Fast forward to the present. I've seen Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, some of Cambodia, Korea, Canada, Key West, New York City, and Miami.
I've seen some beautiful places, but I have never experienced the same magical feeling I have in Hawaii. Hawaii is a place that defies logic and explanation. It's too nice. It's too perfect. It's mystical and magical… and so many other things words cannot adequately describe.
Besides the aesthetic beauty of Hawaii, there is something else to it that really defies words. I feel like I still haven't expressed it to you as clearly as I want to.
The natural beauty of the islands is unsurpassed. Everywhere I looked was a postcard view. Every plant was bright green and flowering. The smells in the air, the fragrance of the flowers combined with the salty air near the beaches, were all mind-numbing… and soothing.
The weather in Hawaii is nothing short of miraculous. Where else in the world is there such perfect weather? I don't think it can be beat. The weather is always bearable, and usually what I'd call perfect. The trade winds cool things off so it doesn't get too warm, and overall, the weather experience is part of the magic of Hawaii because there is near constant beautiful weather. Growing up with the horrible winters in Pittsburgh for the first eighteen years of my life, I felt like Hawaii was another planet.
The pure air in Hawaii outside of certain spots during rush hour is just astounding. The gentle sting in the nose of salty fresh air as one gets close to the beach where waves are breaking and on-shore wind is blowing, is one of my favorite smells and experiences ever. Inhaling this salty wet air and breathing deeply of it, gives me a peace of mind that I've never had before. It reinforces the idea that the islands are a magical place.
Exercising in Hawaii is great because the air is so clean and the terrain so varied. On Oahu you can run in the sand at the beach, on the sidewalk along the Ala Wai canal, or up winding dirt trails on Tantalus Mountain. Up to you! There is no shortage of physical activities you can take up in Hawaii – even snorkeling can give you a workout if you cover some ground. For me, surfing and bodyboarding were the ultimate ways to spend time in the ocean. I spent hundreds of hours in the Pacific Ocean doing those activities, along with swimming, and bodysurfing.
The waters of Hawaii where I typically swam were clean, and often times filled with fish and the occasional large sea turtle. Swimming in such an amazing place, with the possibility of seeing dolphin jumping, spinning, and flipping above the water's surface was a lovely way to spend my free time. Seeing the occasional shark, fish, crabs, octopus, and sea turtles really gives a magical, and mysterious feeling to the islands of Hawaii.
There is always activity going on, especially on Oahu. The island is packed with fun things to do. For me, it was impossible to not have fun there. I can't remember a bad day in Hawaii, truthfully – I cannot!
Every day is a great day. Every day is a day you can go to the beach or do something new, like climb a mountain, swim in a new spot, explore some hidden terrain, shop in a new place, or whatever your passion is. Not only these things, but you can choose from the other islands as well – Kauai, Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, and Lanai. They are all just a short flight or overnight boat ride to a completely new island paradise. So, part of Hawaii's magic is that it doesn't end with the island you're on. There is so much more to explore, and you'll never see and do it all.
Hawaii's locals are real gems. You might not have the same experience I did… but, working with them and spending time after work with people that grew up on the islands was a real treat. They have an awesome outlook on life, and they are a significant part of the island magic I experienced. It was really refreshing to see their attitude about life as much more relaxed than my own. On the mainland, in the northeast, we are indoctrinated with ideas of work being everything – the main focus. Having fun happens only after we've worked hard and accomplished enough.
In Hawaii I learned how to relax at work and during my free time. I spent hours laying on the beach in the morning sun. Sometimes I'd find myself sleeping on a towel at the beach for six or more hours each day on the weekend. I met people from all over the world in Hawaii. I dated women from Tahiti, Venezuela, Canada, Colorado, Philippines, and Japan. I had never even known people from these places before I arrived in Hawaii.
I learned how to camp and barbeque at the beach – Hawaiian Style. We'd spend the weekends camping out in tents in Waimanalo or spending it in the beach cabins at Bellows Air Force Station – and having more fun than we thought we had a right to. I think that's part of the magic. I think that's the one of the hidden ingredients that many visitors to Hawaii, and those living in Hawaii, can't quite put a finger on.
It's the magical feeling that, "I'm having a better time than I deserve to."
It's the awesome realization that, "This is the most beautiful and awesome place on the planet to experience – and I'm HERE NOW!"
It is the incredible feeling that – "I am not worthy of this amazing, dreamy, mystical place, the people, the experiences, the MAGICAL FEELING that pervades the Hawaiian Islands…"
It's too much – too perfect… I'm not worthy of it.
And I don't know what else to say to help you come to know the feeling of magic pervading life in the Hawaiian Islands. You need to go and experience it for yourself. Words can only give you a hint. The experience must be had for yourself. You have to make it happen if it is ever going to be!
I have a website dedicated to living in Hawaii – AimforAwesome.com. After you finish with this book you should go have a look because there are many more articles about living in the islands. After reading this book and a couple dozen more articles on the website, you should have a really good idea whether Hawaii is right for you. It's a big decision, but not an impossible decision.
I like to poll readers on my site to see what their views are. As much as I like to think my views are the "norm" – I've been shown many times to be way off. Polling visitors of my site helps me to keep in touch with what the rest of the world is thinking.
Below is a reader's poll I had on my website for a few days. I wanted to see if my idea of the best things about living in Hawaii were echoed by others living here.

There are good and bad reasons or motivations that people use when moving to Hawaii. Let's take a look at some of both kinds.
Some Good Reasons to Move to Hawaii:
- You have family living in the islands already and you want to be close to them. This is a great reason, and it presupposes that you have already been to Hawaii and know what it is like. Maybe you even grew up there and you'll likely stay there as long as you want without any problem. Most Hawaii residents born and raised in the islands that move away, I think eventually return.
- You are retired and have a check coming in that more than covers all necessities, needs, and wants. And, you are sure that check will keep on coming. Keep in mind that as you age your needs for medical care may grow enormously and quickly.
- You have another income source whether it is royalties from a book or music, or something else, and that income is not likely to change at least for the next few years. Moving to Hawaii can be the ultimate long-term vacation. If you can make it for a couple of years, or even a year, in my mind it makes sense to make the move and experience the beauty of Hawaii for as long as you can make it last.
- Somehow, you lucked-out and landed a good job in Hawaii either without having been here, or while you were just visiting the islands! I almost, almost landed a job by phone from Florida. This was for an online startup that needed someone to do all the online marketing for the company. They needed someone that could hit the floor running. I was 80% sure they would call me back to hire me. Nope. Close, but no cigar. It is very difficult to get an offer from Hawaii if you are not established there already.
Companies in Hawaii are very cautious about the people they offer jobs because many have made offers only to see the applicants disappear afterward.
- You can sell everything and move – either living off investments or getting a job in a field where workers are in demand. I think for those over fifty years of age, this is the scenario that most often happens. You suffered your way through thirty years of work, bought a house, the kids are either in college or done, and you want more than anything else in the world to go live in Hawaii. Some people make it, and some don't. If you have the money, I always say, give it a try and see if it's for you. If you are lucky enough to get a once in a lifetime chance to live in Hawaii – why not go for it?
The Negative Side of Living in Hawaii
Out of every ten visitors to the Hawaiian Islands, at least five are wondering, "Is living in Hawaii possible for me?"
And for every five that do wonder such a thing, realistically maybe one can choose to live in Hawaii for any length of time. Maybe less than that.
Why is it so difficult for the average person to move and stay in the islands?
Hawaii is a very different place from wherever you grew up in Kansas, Okinawa, or wherever you call home.
Let's look at some of the differences that are readily apparent.
Living on a Hawaiian Island is Constrained by Space
Living on an island is a little different than living in downtown Boulder, Colorado. The Hawaiian Islands are not large. Oahu is about forty-four miles on the long side and thirty on the short side. Can you imagine living in 597 square miles? The only way you go further than forty-four miles in any one direction, is on a plane or in a boat – which sounds interesting, but there's another set of issues there I'll talk about in a minute.
Island Fever
Defined as the feeling that one is stuck on an island, and doesn't have the freedom to just go somewhere and drive for a few hours to 'get away'. Island fever usually hits first timers that move to the islands after six months or a year. The sudden realization occurs that, this is all there is. Sure Hawaii is beautiful… it has awesome natural beauty, views, and landmarks, and plenty to do, but this is it. This is home, and it's not a big home, it's a relatively small island to live for the rest of your life.
There are parts of the island you wouldn't want to go see. There is a lot of private property on Oahu and the other islands, and you will never see a good portion of the island you live on. So in reality, you're stuck living and exploring the public places – whatever the government has declared as such. Island fever is one of the big sources of discontent among new Hawaii residents. It shouldn't be overlooked because if you move to Hawaii, it will likely hit you at some future point in time, and maybe it will be the entire reason you decide to leave later.
Year-Round Heat
It's warm year-round. Some would even call Hawaii "hot" – but I never would, having lived in Miami, Tampa, and Thailand for nearly two decades. Those places are hot. Hawaii has the perfect weather for me, but you may find it hot all the time. I know people that sweat continually in Hawaii. They need not do anything physically, but they just sweat constantly. If you're one of those people, Hawaii may not be the right place for you to live. Some people adjust; maybe you are one of them?
No Seasons
There are no changing weather seasons in Hawaii. Only warm, balmy weather with a period during the winter where it is a bit rainier than during other parts of the year, and that is about it. Sure, once per year you might get to breathe fog on a cold December or January day, but it doesn't happen often. Not even every year.
Frequent Rain
It rains often on all the islands, in different areas. If you're planning on living on Kauai you should carry a poncho all the time because Kauai gets a lot of rain. One of the mountain peaks on Kauai is the wettest place on earth. It receives over 450 inches of rain per year. That's over an inch each day! No matter which Hawaiian Island you choose to be living on – it rains often – but usually in short bursts. Some find that annoying. If you ride a motorcycle or bicycle often, you will probably be caught in showers. That's Hawaii.
Groceries are All $5 or More
It is a bit of a shock during your first few trips to the grocery store. It seems like there isn't anything cheaper than five dollars. Most everything consumable is imported, and arrives by sea. One time I remember shopping at the grocery close to my home in Waikiki. This was the cheapest grocery around so it was always packed with locals who knew where to get the good stuff at a reasonable price. But, every single thing in my cart – and I had over thirty things – was over $5. A gallon of milk, a pound of butter I remember in particular. Unbelievably expensive – right? You'll need to get accustomed to it if you want to live here. Food on all the islands is expensive. There are secret resources locals use for food that are out of the way, but usually worth the trip. Of course, everyone is a member of Costco and Sam's Club.
Employment is Tough to Find
Jobs exist in certain career fields. If you're a waiter-waitress, nurse or other healthcare worker, or you have worked in the travel industry, you can probably find a job in Hawaii. If not, outside of a few other career areas it may be a struggle to find employment. The entire island is built on tourism. If your specialty doesn't have something to do with that, or isn't related to that in some way like sales, customer service, waiting tables, or selling retail, you might want to reconsider living in Hawaii. At the very least you should do a lot of research before you arrive to prepare yourself.
I know a guy with a lot of different skills that arrived on Oahu and tried for a year to get a job he really wanted. Finally he accepted a telephone sales job just to get some income. It's a very tough job market, and don't let the unemployment figures lull you into a false sense of security about the place. The jobs most often open are in those areas I mentioned above. Bring a whole lot of savings to live off if you don't have skills in one of those fields.
Driving Nightmare
I used my mountain bike a lot while living in Hawaii. Was it dangerous? Sure it was, most tourists are looking around and not prepared for bicycles on the streets. Still, it was more stressful to drive my Honda around Waikiki. Rush hours and weekends where there is an event of some kind going on are pure nightmare material, and you'll not want to live far from where you work unless you live in downtown and work in Kapolei or somewhere else there is no traffic. Traffic goes toward the downtown and Waikiki areas in the morning and away during 5 – 7 p.m. rush hour.
Add to the driving nightmare the fact that the Honolulu police seem to be everywhere you look. There is a higher police presence on Oahu than I have experienced anywhere else in the nation. If you are late putting your seatbelt on, they are standing in the middle of the street by your condominium and writing you a ticket. If you coast through a stop sign, even slightly, they are on you. If you speed, they got you! If you ride in the wrong lane on the highway, you're had. You cannot win driving a vehicle in the islands. This in particular was no fun for me at all. Maybe because I'm such a bad driver! As I said, I used the bike or even walked when my destination wasn't too far away.
Hawaii's High Cost of Living
To some it seems ridiculously high. To others, it's manageable. There is a whole chapter on this coming up soon.
This one is hard to get away from. If your own attitude is poor, you'll meet some of the nastiest people you never wanted to know in Hawaii.
That's just the way it is everywhere, right?
However, if you've got a cool attitude and are open to learning how things work before and during your time there and you are friendly, outgoing, and a decent person all around, you'll be likely to meet the coolest bunch of people you ever knew.
Give first, and you'll get more in return. Such has been my experience while meeting new people in Hawaii. The Hawaiian spirit of Aloha is really a wonderful philosophy of life and I hope you get to experience it during your stay. If you're not the type of person that deals well with cultural diversity or have a lack of common sense, you may not do well in Hawaii and it can be a very cold place for the selfish, ignorant, prejudiced, clueless, and heartless.
Bringing Your Kids
Bringing your school-aged kids (keiki) to Hawaii to live might seem like a great idea… 'Let them breathe the clean air and soak up the sunshine… swim with the dolphins!' Sure. They can do all that. But, they'll still have to endure the school system. For mainland kids arriving in Hawaii for school it's sometimes (usually?) traumatic. I wouldn't recommend anyone bring their kids to Hawaii to live if they have to attend the public school system. I just wouldn't. That's me. I've considered at length whether I would want my daughter to grow up in Hawaii and attend Hawaiian public schools. I've decided – definitely not. We won't move back to Hawaii until we can afford the home-school experience, or a good private school. In either of those two scenarios I think Hawaii would be a great place for a child to grow up. Otherwise? No. That's just my bias.
If after reading all these negatives you decide that you still want to live in Hawaii because it's your destiny or something – try this…
Look at living in Hawaii as a temporary move and tell yourself you'll try living on one of the islands for a year. See if you can make it that long. By then you'll have a good idea what the island you're living on is like. You'll probably have visited some of the others and know a little bit about them too. You might choose to move to another island or you might continue on living where you are. Or, you might move back to the mainland US after a year. No harm done, right? You just spent a year in Hawaii while many people dream of having that option.
If they see you doing it, you may have many people ask how you did it because they too are starting to get that question in the back of their mind.
"Could I do it too?"

Just like there are good reasons or motivations for moving to the islands, there are some not-so-good reasons.
Some Bad Reasons to Move to Hawaii:
- You love smoking pot – and what better place to get Maui Wowie, than right here in West Maui? I don't know that too many people move to Hawaii just for the pot experience, but I'll bet there are more than I think there are! Driving out west past Kahana and over by the cliffs… and then on Kauai – the same, anywhere it looks like pure Hawaii jungle – you're likely to see a guy or two just hanging out along the road. What are they doing? If they think you're safe enough, they will hold up a big bunch of Hawaiian grown marijuana to let you see it and purchase it if you want. They are bold, and they have lookouts for police further up the road, and there are only two ways in to get to them so they disappear when police are cruising down the road. Contrary to popular belief, the Honolulu Police Department will throw you in jail for possession and for growing or distributing pot. It isn't legal in Hawaii (yet). See Chapter 26 for more information on marijuana and likelihood of legalization in the islands in the coming years.
- You don't feel like you fit in on the mainland because you don't like working. You don't like the whole environment. You want to get back to a slower place, the islands. Well, Hawaii is not Jamaica mon, and you're probably going to get a big surprise as you land at Honolulu International Airport and smell the bus and car fumes from Nimitz Highway. Mexico might be a better place to move. Florida near the beaches… or even Jamaica might be better for you.
Hawaii is unforgiving… meaning, you must have cash or you're going to be spending a lot of time with poor locals camping in the parks and along the beaches. It is very hard to adjust to that lifestyle, and very hard to make friends of the locals in that situation. You'd really be better off being homeless or destitute somewhere else. The homeless population is getting quite large in the islands. The State of Hawaii government is actually considering buying them plane tickets to go back to their state of residence! Yes, it's that bad.
- You just got an unexpected payday. Meaning, you just got an insurance settlement, sold a business, sold a house or something else and you're looking for a way to spend it. I have said many times that if you have $10K USD saved, you could possibly make it in Hawaii. Just find a rented apartment and start the job search. What I mean is, if you start saving now and planning, in a few months when you have the money, you'll have likely learned everything you have to in preparation to move to Hawaii. If you just get a payday and you're looking to spend it in an amazing way moving to the islands, you haven't done all the necessary preparation. Don't neglect to research a lot about moving, and how life will be once you arrive. If you haven't ever been to Hawaii I wouldn't suggest you move here. It's too different from every other place you've probably ever been. I've seen more than a couple people blow their savings and move back home within just months.
- You have an incurable illness and you want to die in paradise. Hawaii can be a very lonely place. I have seen and spoken with many lonely people here. Most Caucasians don't realize they'll be a minority in the islands, but more importantly – they don't know what that feels like. It's a weird feeling at first, for most of us. Though I was surrounded by military, when I went off on my own, or in a small group I realized – wow, I'm a minority. It was a bit of a shock, but I got over it quickly. Some don't. If you cannot, it will be quite difficult to make friends.
If you have an incurable illness and you think it's best to pass in Hawaii – I'm not sure it is. You'll have to make friends, and friends that really care. If you are bed-ridden, you might die alone watching Hawaii 5-0 on the television set. How sad is that? I think better to stay where you are in the mainland, or wherever your family and friends are.
- You want to start a business. You have a great idea, it's amazing, and you know Hawaii is the right place for you to make it work.
Starting a business in Hawaii has got to be one of the riskiest things you could possibly do with your money. Hawaii is a different world when it comes to what people like. Do Filipinos like your product or service? Local Japanese? Hawaiians? Military? Visitors from across the globe? You'll have to really spend some time researching the marketplace in-depth in Hawaii for your business. I have seen all sorts of businesses start and fail very quickly in Hawaii. If it takes longer to fail, that's even worse because more money, time and effort go out the window. If you're going to start a business in Hawaii, make sure you spend months doing the hard research you'll need to ensure success. You probably need to live in the islands for a year or so before you have any idea at all what might work or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely staggering,
Erik Aleksander Moe "riddion" (Oslo, Norway) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wagner: Der fliegende Hollander [Recorded 1950] (Audio CD)
Hans Hotter. What can one say about his Dutchman? This is probably the most staggering interpretation I have ever heard of the role. Captured in his prime and he really lives the character. His dark baritone voice with the distinct timbre is perfectly suited to the troubled cursed Dutchman. He perfectly captures the haunted and deeply troubled nature of the Dutchman.
Astrid Varnay's Senta too is wonderful. She has the right amount dedication and craziness in her interpretation as the almost obsessed young woman who willingly dedicates herself to the Dutchman just based on the fasination on the tale of him and his portrait.
Sven Nilsson as Daland is also great. He captures the amusing aspect of the character and the caring father who tries to marry his daughter to a seemingly wealthy man.
Set Svanholm is Erik and he is at his best here too. The great tenor displays the tenderness and determination to make Senta not go through with this foolish venture (as he sees it).
Last but no mean least is Fritz Reiner's conducting. He is at at fiery best here. Making the performance really come alive and almost burst into flame from all the heat that is generated by he and the artists.
This is a performance that is wholeheartly recommended. It is absolutely staggering from start to finish. Do yourself a favour and get it now!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dutchman saved yet again.,
John Austin "firstname.lastname@example.com" (Kangaroo Ground, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wagner: Der fliegende Hollander [Recorded 1950] (Audio CD)
Collectors of great voices and historic opera productions will no doubt be intrigued by this release. What a cast! Fritz Reiner conducting. Hans Hotter caught in his prime in one of his great Wagnerian roles during his debut Met season, a role he never recorded commercially. Astrid Varnay singing her first Senta. Set Svanholm making his Met debut in the small role of Erik. At budget price, this Naxos issue could hardly fail to be good value. Some collectors, however, might fear that technical and auditory inadequacies might ruin the whole enterprise.
Well, I can report that collectors need not hesitate. I have heard nothing, deriving from a Met broadcast, that suggests a "best seat in the house" experience so well as this. I could almost "locate" every cough in the house, as the Overture was performed. The sound spectrum thereafter is remarkable for its astonishing clarity, although the dynamic range is limited. Ward Marston, in charge of the restoration, unable to find any tapes of this 1950 performance kept by the radio station that originally broadcast it, has used several tape recordings made of the broadcast "off air" by amateur enthusiasts as home with their own tape recorders. The results are amazing! It seems incredible that tape recorders could capture a broadcast with such fidelity in 1950. Ward Marston has improved the original sources by correcting pitch variations and adjusting the equalization to give additional presence to the voices.
And what presence they have! Every glory in Hotter's vocal range, from top to bottom, from ghostly mezza voce to commanding fortissimo, is revealed, as is his distinguished portrayal of the haunted, condemned Dutchman. His singing of "Der Frist ist um" is achingly moving. Astrid Varnay, as is documented in performances and recordings later in her career, seems born to sing the part of Senta. Sven Nilsson is the vocally imposing Daland and Set Svanholm, another Swede and making his debut at the Met, gives prominence and distinction to the role of Eric.
All of which should indicate that this issue provides an opportunity to hear an important live production of Wagner's early opera in its three act version.

text: Home > Syndication > Xtra-magazine-content 09 November 2010 Finding a personal trainer Right, so it's you're all pumped to get going on a more effective exercise regime, but where do you find a trainer who can make the critical difference? FitnessDoc has some ideas. 0 Right, so it's you're all pumped to get going on a more effective exercise regime - but where do you start to find a trainer who can make the critical difference? And what's the difference between a personal trainer and a biokineticist? According to Health24's FitnessDoc, Ross Tucker, word of mouth is the way to go when looking for a personal trainer that will suit your needs. "At the moment there is no clearly defined controlling body for accreditation and training of personal trainers, although there are perhaps four or five large, established training providers. ETA is perhaps the most well known, as well as Reebok Alliance, Bodyline and the Health Professionals Fitness Alliance (HPFA)," he said. He added that while one has a better chance of striking it lucky and finding a good personal trainer if they've come through one of the abovementioned bodies, there are also good personal trainers who have qualified through smaller institutions. Biokineticists vs. personal trainers – what's the difference? "The relative lack of control among personal trainers in the industry is perhaps the biggest reason why I personally would advocate that someone seeks out the advice of a biokineticist for specific training queries. "This will no doubt label me an academic 'snob'," says Tucker, "and I certainly don't wish to generalise, but when a person sees a biokineticist, they are assured that the person has come through at least four years of university training, plus a full year of practical experience training. That level of qualification and training ensures a much higher quality of service in most cases." However, he reiterated that the best way to find a good trainer is through word of mouth: as "a trainer's reputation is very easy to identify and establish", he pointed out. So ask around, and bear in mind that a technically highly skilled person might not be a compatible person: it's not called a personal trainer for nothing. If you don't click, and if if your trainer doesn't "get" your personality, it's not going to be a great experience. "Once a trainer is identified, they must be held to the highest performance standard – which is actually the responsibility of the client. I feel that too often, clients/members of public accept sub-par service, when they should demand the very best. "The problem is that personal trainers often stretch themselves too thin, across too many clients at one time and so provide a lacklustre service to all but a few clients. Every member of the public must demand the best, with no allowances being made," Tucker said.

Despite what the Internet will tell you, simple human error and confusion cost Lewis Hamilton the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday.
If nothing else, it was a timely reminder that at the heart of our sport lay not just computers, but banks of people making split-second decisions – and sometimes they get it wrong.
"We simply got the calculation wrong. We thought that we would have a bigger gap – a couple of seconds more – but we didn't."
It would be fair to say that Mercedes F1 team boss Toto Wolff has endured a difficult couple of days following this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix.
When Max Verstappen misjudged the braking distance of Romain Grosjean into St Devote on lap 64, the resulting crash caused Race Control to, first, initiate a Virtual Safety Car period (VSC), before assigning the real safety car approximately thirty seconds later.
Amidst a cacophony of radio noise, confusion, misreading's and changing circumstances, the Mercedes Formula One team and Lewis Hamilton conspired amongst themselves to blow a significant advantage at the front, eventually costing Hamilton the race.
Mercedes still won – although the victory was celebrated by Hamilton's teammate Nico Rosberg, with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel taking 2nd spot – but for a dominant weekend's performance, Hamilton would be rewarded with just a 3rd place.
The reigning champion tends to wear his emotions on his sleeve and the shock on the Briton's face palpable, but let us please dispense with the nonsensical conspiracy theories – those meandering thought bubbles really are not worth the time of day.
Shortly after the race, the first piece fell into place courtesy of Hamilton just as the safety car had been called. Glancing up to one of the big screens, Hamilton noted, "I saw the team out in the pit-lane […] and thought Nico was pitting," before adding, "I came in with full confidence that the others had done the same."
In reality, Rosberg had not stopped and the Mercedes crew's presense in the pitbox was a sign of readiness in case Ferrari chose to stop, yet the red team had no intention of pitting Vettel, as revealed by Team Principal Maurizio Arrivabene. "In the key moment of the race Inaki Rueda, our race strategist, told everybody to keep calm and stay out on track, while the Mercedes came in for fresh tyres."
As far as the Scuderia were concerned, stopping would have done little to improve their situation – tyre wear was still solid, and although pressures were dropping behind the safety car, track position is king at Monaco.
Just prior to the safety car, Vettel was still lapping in the late 1'19s–early 1'20s range while in clear air, with Rosberg running to a similar pace. It is highly unlikely that fresh rubber would improve Vettel's chances – something that Hamilton would later find out for himself.
Out front, Hamilton, was clearly enjoying himself and was stretching his gap to Rosberg by approximately half-a-second to one second per lap. The race had long since been bagged by the Englishman.
By the time the race had been neutralised on lap 64, Hamilton's lead was a pretty 19.1s; however during the initial changeover from Virtual Safety Car to the actual safety car, that gap extended to 25.7s – and this is where Mercedes engaged a sort of fuzzy logic between the driver and pitwall.
Fearing dropping tyre pressures and under the assumption that Rosberg was stopping or had already stopped, it appears Hamilton triggered an impression that his tyres were badly degrading. According to Wolff, "There was the information that the temperatures dropped and that there was no grip any more on the prime tyres – the numbers just added up."
Come the 65th tour, the leader had caught the safety car in the final sector, slowing significantly as he lined up behind Bernd Mayländer. In this short period, Hamilton lost twelve seconds to this field, with Wolff acknowedging that the lack of a GPS system around Monaco served to mask just how much time Hamilton had surrendered to the rest of the field.
"We'll analyse and work out what went wrong, but we'll do that collectively and try to improve for the future," said Wolff. "We we're in a situation of waging common sense against data. Common sense is okay, but it doesn't win races in the long run. You have to rely on data – and now we have to find out why we got it wrong today."
As Hamilton emerged out of the pitlane, Rosberg had long since gone through, while Vettel pipped the Mercedes man to the pitlane exit timing line by only a couple of metres. For all his pushing on supersofts in the later tours, Hamilton could not break through back into at least 2nd place and indeed had to fight a minor rearguard action from Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull) too.
In all the noise, a mistake was made and contrary to popular opinion, these happen from time-to-time. For this one mistake, Mercedes have also taken twenty-one race wins, as well as a Drivers' and Constructors' title since the beginning of 2014 and they will win many more Grands Prix this year.
For now, the championship lead has had another chunk removed from it and the gap between Hamilton and Rosberg is just ten points. The biggest question is 'will this galvanise Hamilton again or will Rosberg emerge stronger?'
Antonio Giovinazzi won the 74th Grand Prix de Pau today following a hectic battle with Jake Dennis that lasted much of the race.
Maximilian Günther achieved his first FIA European F3 podium; while van Amersfoort's Charles Leclerc assumed his third top three finish with a drive to 3rd.
The win only came to Giovinazzi late on. Having started on new tyres, Giovinazzi chased polesitter Dennis closely for much of the race.
An early safety car period kept the field artificially close, but upon the lap five restart, the Briton seized control for much of the event. At the two-thirds mark, Dennis began to struggle with a damaged steering, offering the feisty Giovinazzi a golden opportunity – the Volkswagen-powered man was not about to let this slip.
Despite this, Dennis fought bravely and continued to manage the gap to Giovinazzi with each corner; however as the Italian pressed harder, Dennis' problems became more and more apparent.
From lap 17, the gap shrank from 1.3s to just 0.2s with Giovinazzi forcing Dennis to defend harder. Amidst all this, Dennis' laps times were beginning to struggle as his pace fell from the late 1'10s to the late 1'11s over the course of the next four laps and then down to 1'12"3s on lap 23.
Sensing the opportunity, Giovinazzi looked down the inside of the first bend, only to be denied. Thereafter, the Jagonya Ayam Carlin racer continued to push Dennis harder – dancing left and then right – until eventually Dennis ran out of luck and ran wide in the Descente Poeymirau, allowing Giovinazzi through into the lead.
Thereafter the 21-year-old pulled away from the increasingly struggling Dennis, with the Briton falling out of contention quickly as the end of the race neared. Running to the flag untroubled, Giovinazzi became the 10th Italian driver to win the prestigious event.
"Being able to win the Grand Prix de Pau, a race that so many great drivers such as Lewis Hamilton have won, is fantastic. Of course, I am happy that I have made it onto the podium again in the ninth race of the season," said the delighted victor. He added, "The race wasn't easy for me. After the start, I was second, but I didn't want to take too many risks. After about 15 laps, I tried to put more pressure on Jake Dennis in front of me. When he had a technical problem, I overtook him and I was in the lead."
Unfortunately for Dennis, the 19-year-old could only fall further backward as the race aged, but did so in dramatic fashion. With his times dropping to the 1'16s range, Günther and Leclerc were quickly on Dennis' rear and were through on lap 24 to complete the podium.
It was another positive drive for Günther, who – after several close attempts – finally secured his maiden F3 podium, although Leclerc did not make it an easy ride. "I am really delighted with this 2nd place after having just missed out on a podium finish a couple of times already. My start was good and my speed was better than in the first two races here at Pau as well. This time, I was also able to control the gap to Charles, who was behind me."
Following a good start, Leclerc clung the back of Günther and while it could be argued that the Mücke racer was slightly slower than Leclerc's van Amersfoort entry, there was little the Monegasque Leclerc could do to force a path through to 2nd place. After the finish, Leclerc was rather resigned to the fact there was little else that he could have done to beat Günther. "First of all, I am happy that I didn't lose any positions at the start for the first time this weekend. I tried to put Maximilian under pressure, but he drove a good race and didn't give me any opportunity to overtake."
Another big winner late on was Lance Stroll. After the safety car period, Stroll lost two positions in quick succession, falling to 10th; however the Canadian took Felix Rosenqvist on lap six and capitalised five laps to take Alessio Lorandi when Alexander Albon balked the Italian Lorandi.
Instantly Albon too fell buy the wayside, when it became clear his car had been damaged in the interchange, promoting Stroll to 6th. That became 5th place when Markus Pömmer was made to serve a drive through penalty for not lining up in his grid slot correctly.
Stroll would eventually climb to 4th when Dennis' problems saw his fall through the field in the final two laps, with Dennis taking the finish in a disappointing 23rd place. "From the second lap, I had to deal with a steering issue which was caused by a damaged suspension, but it wasn't that bad at first. I was still pulling away from Giovinazzi. Then after about 10 laps the car was undriveable but I managed to keep a half second gap. Eventually though, it wouldn't turn left anymore. It is quite frustrating cause there was nothing I could do."
In the shuffling of the order, Arjun Maini came home 5th – another good result for the Indian rookie. Maini was running 7th entering the final lap; however Lorandi was held up by the ailing Dennis, allowing Maini through to the top five.
Rosenqvist scored a 6th place finish, giving the Swede ten vital points in the championship, while Lorandi had to settle for 7th. George Russell battled hard against Sam MacLeod much of the running and would come home in 8th position. MacLeod received damage when he clattered Dennis on the final lap, promoting Mikkel Jensen and Santino Ferrucci to 9th and 10th respectively.
As expected at Pau, there was some chaos at the start when Kang Ling went over the top of Tatiana Calderon on the climb up to Pont Oscar, with Ling left stranded on the rear of Calderon as the came to a halt. It was a completely unnecessary incident that should have been avoided by Ling and yet another dent in what has been a difficult start to the year for Calderon.
This is a victory that allows Giovinazzi to extend his lead in the European Formula 3 Championship to 15 points over Leclerc. In two weeks time, the field visits a very different but equally historic venue, when they move to Monza for the 4th round of what has been an enthralling season thus far.
Jake Dennis claimed his 2nd FIA European F3 race win of the weekend at Pau, although chaos reigned behind him.
The Briton led for the duration, initially from Maximilian Günther and then later from eventual runner-up Charles Leclerc, but never looked challenged.
Antonio Giovinazzi completed the podium placing's – his eight podium in a row.
Dennis made a very good start from pole, while Leclerc's sluggish getaway allowed Günther through into 2nd.
The Briton would have little opportunity to escape from his pursuers though – the first safety car emerged on only lap two, when Matt Soloman clattered into the barriers at Pont Oscar.
From the third lap restart, Dennis immediately pulled a gap on Günther, eventually stretching it out to 3.5s by the fourteenth tour; this too came to nothing when Julio Moreno stopped on track causing another stoppage.
The delay was shortlived, with the restart coming on lap 17. This was Günther's best opportunity – a great restart allowed him to hook onto the rear of Dennis; however when the move did not materialise, Leclerc attempted, unsuccessfully, to take 2nd spot in the Virage de la Gare. As the pair came out together, Giovinazzi saw a gap down the inside of Leclerc, but the Italian was unable to complete the move, ensuring Dennis escaped and that Günther continued to lead the 2nd place battle/
However this green flag stint lasted less than a lap when an overeager Alessio Lorandi attempted to dive down the inside of Michel Beretta in the hairpin, causing a third neutralisation.
This would prove crucial for Günther – in one sense, the Mücke racer was offered yet another opportunity to grab the lead from Dennis; however as the group were about to restart, Günther clipped the rear of the Prema Powerteam man, damaging his front wing in the process.
Restarting on lap nineteen, Dennis again pulled away from Günther, but Leclerc stuck to the rear of the German and forced a way by in the Curbe des Tribunes.
This additional delay for Günther opened the door for Giovinazzi, who dived down the inside of the Lycée hairpin, only for the pair to touch slightly as Günther could not defend any further. Giovinazzi escaped the incident without damage; however Günther stalled by the kerb, partially blocking the road.
Behind them, George Russell had almost completed a pass on Lance Stroll, but the pairing were squeezed into Brandon Maïsano when they came upon the stranded Günther. This caused a minor pile-up, which involved approximately a dozen cars forcing the stewards to bring out the red flag.
After a nine-minute delay, the race restarted with Dennis leading Leclerc and Giovinazzi; but there was nothing that either follower could do to displace the leader and even Giovinazzi fell away from Leclerc after a time.
For Dennis, this was not just a 2nd win of the season, but his 2nd win in Formula 3 as a whole. Now 4th in the standings, the British racer is in a great position to jump up to 3rd in the championship, should his run of form continue tomorrow.
Despite taking three points back off of Giovinazzi's lead, Leclerc appeared disappointed. A difficult start cost the Monegasque racer a shot at the lead and placed him in 3rd place once for the second time today.
Although the van Amersfoort racer recovered the 2nd spot – unlike in today's Race One – Leclerc is a young man looking for victories in order to grab the top spot in the championship.
Giovinazzi's move on Günther solidified the Italian's eighth podium from eight races, but crucially signposted his new found aggressiveness and confidence. Previous years may have seen the Jagonya Ayam Carlin racer either make rash decisions in the car, or spend too long hiding in traffic; however this year a far more mature Giovinazzi getting on with the job of winning or scoring big points.
The big surprise of the race came from Arjun Maini. The Indian rookie quietly went about his race and was sitting in a credible 5th, when the retired Günther gave him 4th.
Maini spent much of the event under the scrutiny of Felix Rosenqvist, who made moves from 8th and was running 6th, when he forced a way by Alexander Albon before Virage de la Gare on lap 21. Albon would then lose out to George Russell two laps from the end, demoting the Thai tracer to 7th place at the finish.
Markus Pommer ended the race in 8th having also been taken by Russell (lap 22). Sam MacLeod surprisingly scored his first points of the year when he came home 9th, while Lance Stroll followed the British racer home in 10th place – both MacLeod and Stroll lost out to Russell on the red flag restart.
Jake Dennis swept to a stellar first FIA European F3 race victory in style at Pau this morning.
In a race twice interrupted by the safety car, the Prema Powerteam driver led from the start, heading a close Antonio Giovinazzi and Charles Leclerc for the duration.
Although Dennis' lead was never more than 0.8s over Giovinazzi, the Briton rarely looked like losing this race, such was his prowess around the French streets, despite the 19-year-old claiming he was suffering from a car issue in early stages of the competition.
Yet at the same time, Dennis was never in a position to relax. If anything, this race was more about the top three drivers pushing hard for the fastest laps throughout – a accolade eventually claimed by Leclerc – with the trio settling into laps around the late 1'10s and early 1'11s for much of the running.
For each occasion the race was halted, Dennis did more than enough to gap to Giovinazzi when the race restarted and while the Italian regained the gap to Dennis, Giovinazzi was also watching his mirrors for the feisty Leclerc.
Indeed Dennis was most under threat from Leclerc at the start. Although a decent start, Dennis' van Amersfoort rival enjoyed an even better getaway initially with Leclerc drawing close through Courbe des Tribunes; however Leclerc was forced to withdraw as the bend tightened up, allowing the super fast starting Giovinazzi through to take 2nd position prior to Virage de la Gare, after which Giovinazzi's chase began.
Come 27 laps, Dennis claimed his first European Formula 3 victory and with an additional two pole positions in his pocket for Races 2 and 3, the Mercedes-powered man is in a good position to add to that tally this weekend.
Giovinazzi was a winner to a degree too. By taking Leclerc, the Italian extended his lead at the top of the championship standings to 8 points, with fellow contender Felix Rosenqvist falling off the radar somewhat thanks to a 13th place finish.
This race was no thriller by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a joy to watch three young drivers of quality pushing to the maximum within such tight confines.
Behind the leading trio, Maximilian Günther continues to showcase his talents with drive to 4th place, while holding Alexander Albon at bay, while Alessio Lorandi picked up his first points of the year with a drive to 6th.
Lorandi's top six came after an incident with Callum Illot took the Red Bull driver out of contention. Mikkel Jensen claimed 7th ahead of George Russell, although Russell did his best to force his way around the Dane and almost lost a place to 9th place Lance Stroll as a result. Stroll initially followed Prema Powerteam teammate Brandon Maïsano, but took the Frenchman just prior to the second safety car period on lap 15 – the pair came home 9th and 10th.
Both safety car periods were caused by cars hitting barriers. The first was when the then 15th placed Dorian Boccolacci stopped after the Chicane du Croisement on lap 12. After a brief neutralisation, the race was live for less than a lap when Michele Beretta crashed under Pont Oscar on lap 15.
The timing of the first safety car period caused some confusion between Gustavo Menezes and Felix Rosenqvist, with the latter seemingly having believed he had passed Menezes before the yellow flags emerged. Rosenqvist was later ordered to give the position back, although it came to nothing when Menezes dropped down the order on the final lap anyway – however it is unlikely Rosenqvist will be in any way happy with 13th position when there is a title to fight for.
One of the more curious elements of motorsport is that, sometimes, the quickest driver is not necessarily the one who is flashiest on track.
Indeed, being smooth and calculating more often than not proves to be fastest way to transverse a circuit, as drivers maximise the limits of a layout without going overboard.
Or even without needing to go overboard.
Those in complete control of their machines rarely ever need to be flashy, or constantly on the ragged edge. The tales of drivers being the absolute fastest while throwing their car around violently are a sort of Hollywood invention.
All that serves to do is waste time and when the gaps in modern motorsport are so often covered by tenths, hundredths or even thousandths, it does little good to throw them away by being flashy.
It might look impressive on television, but it is less like to garner top results and impress those who need to be impressed.
A laptop, charger, EU plug converter, two pairs of trousers, five pairs of socks, five pairs of underwear, four T-shirts, a shirt and jumper, notepads, hard drive, Dictaphone, pens, pass and season media pass.
Arriving in Toulouse last night – and desperately on the hunt for food (tricky on the approach to midnight) – I poured all of these things on to the hotel bed and crashed out within moments.
It was, in a nutshell, my life stuffed inside a bag. To a degree. Further travelling this morning – a 6.10am train to Pau – bought further mileage and thankfully and extra three hours of sleep.
This may explain the occasional discomfort in my lower back.
But for now, the second Formula 3 free practice session has just finished under red flags and the field – split into two groups for practice and qualifying – have taken in their laps of the circuit under very damp conditions.
Remaining virtually unchanged since its inception as a circuit over eight decades ago, Pau will easily prove to be the toughest task yet for the new European Formula 3 runners, as they take to the town's streets for the first time at this level.
While it is quick in places, it also possesses a number of slow and tight corners and the bumpiness of the road make it a very difficult challenge. It was here last year that Ed Jones' season unraveled when he fractured two vertebrae during qualifying after getting the Foch chicane wrong and hitting the adjacent wall.
There is an added dimension to Pau, for of the thirty-four entrants, only thirty-two can actually take to the races, ensuring that a couple will go home early or at least miss a race or two should their respective qualifying positions place them in and around the bubble.
However if a driver does not qualify for any of the weekend's three races, that raises other questions too – and pointers that have not had to be asked in quite a long time. For example, should any of those who do not qualify be regular backmarkers anyway, will it signal a pulling of the plug on full season deals?
When we think of these dilemmas, it is often too easy to focus on the merits (or the lack thereof) of the driver and completely miss the bigger picture. For example, if a programme is closed down, could that potentially leave mechanics, engineers and other assorted personnel in a position where they are temporarily out of work due to cancelled contracts.
Unlike categories such as GP2 or GP3, Formula 3 does not have a mandated full season entry, where teams take fines should they not have a minimum compliment of drivers.
In those series', teams are fined should they not show up, or only bring a single driver – a situation, which in some cases, has led to teams to run a driver under budget, because the losses from that are less significant than taking a fine from the series. The likes of European Formula 3 – while remaining reasonably stringent – are still more flexible when it comes to market forces and driver allocations.
It is a question that I will come back to at a later time…
Alongside the regulars for this weekend is once-off entrant Gustav Malja. The Formula Renault 3.5 racer opted to enter the Pau Grand Prix with EuroInternational, as he prepares for his next FR3.5 race on the streets of Monaco, which comes next week.
The Swede is an amiable and confident young man who delighted in giving a colleague and I a step-by-step imagined lap of the Monte Carlo circuit, as memorised from the simulator.
It was one of those rare occasions when a driver offers an insight into how they go about their business of being a racing driver. Alas, there will be no Monaco for me in 2015 – other "issues" have got in the way of that unfortunately.
But first Pau and unfortunately it would appear the damp clouds have followed to the Pyrénées. If nothing else, it could make the races very interesting indeed.
I'm not going to lie. I am pretty exhausted. Sitting in a Frankfurt Airport terminal, just waiting for the flight home, it has been difficult to pull most of the weekend together.
Maybe that will come this evening when a chance to relax has been taken, but for now, my head is one large bag of fuzz. Even my hair has decided to go stylishly AWOL.
During what was a full weekend, Audi took plenty of glory with a victory in the WEC at Spa-Francorchamps, two wins at Hockenheim at the DTM, as well as a successful launch of the Audi TT Cup – the newest support on the DTM programme.
Of WEC, I will eventually get to take it in later this week, but for now I think I need a day off and a day away from cars. It's the only sensible thing to do.
Charles Leclerc took his 2nd FIA European Formula 3 win today with a stellar performance at a wet and dour Hockenheimring.
With light fading, the Monegasque teen made the best of the conditions to beat Felix Rosenqvist to the flag after 18 laps, while Antonio Giovinazzi came home 3rd to make it six podiums finishes from six races.
Such were the damp conditions; the race began under the safety car, with poleman Rosenqvist leading the way. The green emerged on lap two ensuring only a brief neutralisation, allowing the 2nd place Leclerc to chase his experienced Swedish rival.
Although Rosenqvist initially stretched the gap to 1.5s by the fourth lap, Leclerc quickly came upon the rear of the leading Prema Powerteam entry and began to closely track Rosenqvist in a battle that lasted almost ten laps.
The fight for the lead was a tight one in
As Leclerc closed in on Rosenqvist, the sector times closed together and on numerous occasions the van Amersfoort man looked to be edging toward taking Rosenqvist in the hairpin, only for the Prema Powerteam racer to hold him at bay.
The battle was at its most fierce on lap 12. Crossing the line just 0.5s shy of the front man, Leclerc proved almost too close to Rosenqvist at the hairpin, as the tip of his nose gently touched the rear of Rosenqvist's machine, although no damage was reported.
Leclerc stayed with the leader though and brought the gap down to just 0.2s at the next time of asking, before finally forcing the issue on lap 14. A look down the inside of Rosenqvist – again at the hairpin – unsteadied the leader, causing the Prema man to stutter upon acceleration and allowing Leclerc to sweep ahead.
The new leader would not have much time to steady – within half-a-lap, Martin Cao and Pietro Fittipaldi tangled in the stadium section, with Fittipaldi's Fortec entry becoming stuck by the edge of the track.
The safety car emerged for two laps, bringing the field back together, but it would not stop Leclerc who merely pulled away from Rosenqvist at the lap 16 restart, eventually to win by 2.9s after 18 tours.
Although beginning to struggle for grip, Rosenqvist was still able to pull a four second gap over the Giovinazzi / Maximilian Günther battle; a fight decided in favour of Giovinazzi when Günther spun in turn one on the penultimate lap. Once again, Günther's performance proved noteworthy, as the rookie again spent much of the running holding steady against his more experienced rival.
Both Giovinazzi and Günther would have further adventures on the final tour when first the Italian almost lost his Jagonya Ayam Carlin machine in the stadium section, while the recovering Günther was punted by Santino Ferrucci in Mercedes. Ferrucci had earlier forced Lance Stroll off the road at the hairpin and these actions would result in a 20-second time penalty, dropping the Fortec teen from 5th to 28th.
Amidst the bumping and grinding Mikkel Jensen moved up to 4th – easily his highest finish in his rookie year – ahead of Günther and Stroll.
Markus Pömmer battled with Jake Dennis over 7th and 8th for much of the running, with the final German F3 champion emerging ahead of the Briton, while rookies Alexander Albon (9th) and Callum Ilot (10th) assumed the final points places. It was a less than ideal result for Ilot, who was punted out of 5th place on lap two by an overeager Jensen.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13 – This exceptional work of art by David Moss must be seen to be believed. Moss, one of today's finest living Judaic artists, revived the marriage ketubah as a major work of art, then turned to illumination and illustration of Jewish texts. In 1983 he was commissioned to create an individual hand-made haggadah — the Moss Haggadah — which became a splendid work created on vellum, containing paper cuts, gold and silver. You'll get detailed insight on this amazing masterpiece and a delicious kosher charosest tasting will follow the program. CLICK HERE to read more and to register.
