Hawaii Family History Research
This entry was originally written by Dwight A. Radford for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
History of Hawaii
The Hawaiian Islands were originally settled by Polynesians a thousand years before any European contact. Captain James Cook visited the Hawaiian Islands in 1778. He named the islands the Sandwich Islands after the Earl of Sandwich, then the first Lord of the British Admiralty. The native Hawaiians identified Captain Cook with their god Lono. Although most of Captain Cook's encounter with the Hawaiians was positive and friendly, his return voyage in 1779 resulted in his death at Kealakekua Bay at the hands of the natives. Cook's discovery awakened international interest in the islands.
Between 1790 and 1810, King Kamehameha I, the first Hawaiian monarch, united the islands and established political and social control. The Hawaiian monarchy ended when Queen Liliuokalanai was overthrown in 1893. During the first part of the monarchy, most of the Europeans and Americans who visited the islands were mainly crews of trading ships and whalers who stopped off for supplies on their voyages to the Orient. The primary sources of information during this time period come from the reports of the voyages. Outside the ruling class, or alii, very few Hawaiian names are mentioned.
Next came the Protestant missionaries who arrived from New England in 1820 and converted many native Hawaiians to Protestant Christianity. The missionaries developed a written Hawaiian language and used the printing press to create a fairly literate and educated society by the 1850s. King Kamehameha III agreed to a Western-style constitution in 1839. Roman Catholic missionaries arrived seven years later but were expelled from Hawaii by the Protestant leaders in 1831. Roman Catholics were allowed religious freedom in 1839 after a blockade of Honolulu by the French. Mormon missionaries arrived from California in 1850 and were successful among the native Hawaiians as well as the white population. They were opposed by both the Catholics and Protestants. It was not until the arrival of Japanese immigrants in 1885 that the written history of Buddhism in Hawaii can be traced.
The huge sugar and pineapple plantations of Hawaii account for the majority of the immigration. Chinese contract laborers came as early as 1852 to work on the plantations. The Reciprocity Treaty of 1876 allowed for Hawaiian sugar to be exported to the United States duty-free. The Reciprocity Treaty led to closer ties between the Kingdom of Hawaii and the United States and eventually to annexation in 1900.
The sugar plantations recruited from many countries, due in part to local pressure against further importation of Chinese. The sugar companies recruited Portuguese in 1878, Japanese in 1884, Puerto Ricans in 1900/01, Koreans in 1903, and Filipinos in 1906.
While Hawaii was annexed to the United States in 1898, it was not formally organized as a territory until June 1900. America entered World War II as a result of the infamous bombing of Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Prior to the war, Japanese-Americans had become part of the larger Hawaiian community demonstrating their patriotism. Hawaii became the fiftieth state on 21 August 1959. New immigrants arrived from Korea, the Philippines, Samoa, and Tonga. Hawaii continues to be the crossroads of the Pacific.
Of all the states in America, Hawaii is probably the most diverse. Hawaii's population is a mixture of Asian, Polynesian, native Hawaiian, European, American, and Puerto Rican. This poses challenging problems in researching family history in Hawaii. For this reason, this chapter will include many different and diverse record sources. Although not exhaustive, it will provide the basic knowledge necessary to begin research in Hawaii.

Suggestion for Mplus 4 Documentation
Mplus Discussion
Growth Modeling of Longitudinal Data
posted on Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 11:12 pm
Dear Prof. Muthen
Mplus is a wonderful and fantastic software!
Many of my colleagues have converted to Mplus-er
from Liserlites, AMOSer...
as Mplus 4 is coming out soon...I hope to give some suggestions :--
1) allows type=logistic to be possible in combination with type=twolevel missing random,etc.
and beyond univariate analysis.
2) Allow probit analysis with both THETA & DELTA parameterization in TYPE=MIXTURE.
3) To be able to read data files from other softwares e.g., excel, SPSS, SAS format.
4) Regarding documentation, will it be possible to add in some descriptions on the model formulations in the beginnin of each chapter before the Mplus examples are listed (or another separte guide on
these model formulations).
In some advanced topics (multilevel and mixture modeling), sometimes it is quite hard to relate the mplus function to the actual models are being fitted.. It is not straightfoward to relate the tech. appendix with the examples in Mplus manual...
5) more flexible parameter constraints, such as allow Mplus default parameters (say threshold) be user-defined parameter.
Thank you for your kind attention.

1. Logisitc regression is avaliable throughout Mplus. The maximum likelihood estimator with categorical outcomes estimates logistic regression. TYPE=LOGISTIC; will most likely be removed in Version 4 to avoid this confusion.
2. I will add this to the suggestion list.
3. I will add this to the suggestion list but it is doubful that we will ever do this as we have more important statistical topics to tackle and creating ASCII files is a relatively simple task.
4. The technical appendices on the website contain this type of informaton. They will be updated to be more current. We will also be writing books on these topics. Our short course handouts can also be purchased at a nominal cost and they contain formulas for each topic.
5. I am not sure that I understand this suggestion. All parameters are within control of the user as far as I know. Are you talking about expanding the capabilities of MODEL CONSTRAINT?

Idlemedia necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 38 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
Idle Media Inc
Idle Media Inc is a company that builds and maintains a variety of web properties. We have recently opened up to investors and now need a site to display information.
This site will mainly target potential investors and current shareholders who may be looking for more information about the company.
The site will also showcase our current properties. With this in mind, we want the site to be clean and easy to navigate/read, but also have a sense of style. We'd like to deviate a bit from the standard cookie-cutter corporate sites -- after all, we are not a standard cookie-cutter corporation!
Firstly, here is our current logo and business cards for staff: http://i46.tinypic.com/t8qkih.png - the site does NOT have to be dark, but our current site, logo and even office signage does in fact use black and shades of red like the logo/business card.
On to the requirements. As mentioned, the site will need to not only be a showcase for our web properties, but also provide up to date information on the company such as PR releases and other news tidbits. Our Stock symbold (IDLM.OB) should be visible on all pages as well as the current quote. We're even open to embedding a graph from a site like finance.yahoo.com
While we would like brief snippets from these various sections on the homepage, navigation should be set up to point to more specific and important pages such as: "Company News"/"Media", "About Us", "Portfolio" etc. You need not focus on the specific links, just so long as the site is designed in a way that there is a unified navigation so that we can add the specifics later.
Here are some example corporate sites that are geared towards investor relations:
If we had to pick a design style from t he above, we'd lean more towards the more modern and stylish interclick design, though not EXACTLY that design (if that makes sense).

Getting out of a car parked on a busy street can be dangerous. Good thing BMW has created a prototype of a smart car door that won't open if it detects hazards coming at you.
BMW has teamed up with Technical University of Munich in creating these smart car doors, which have produced positive results so far. They expect these doors to be available on the market within the next 12 months, although the doors might be licensed to other manufacturers instead of BMW's own cars.
I can see this type of technology being useful when I have to park along extremely busy street in San Francisco. But then again, I can also see this being a safety hazard: For instance, being taken hostage in your own car and needing to jump out at a stoplight as a biker approaches your door from behind. Or being John McClane, having to jump out of the vehicle as your car goes flying at helicopters in the sky. Yipee-kay-ay mother serious-relationship-haver! [CraveUK via CNet]

President Barack Obama delivered an address today at a Safeway grocery distribution center in Upper Marlborough, Maryland describing what he wants from future commercial trucks.
The venue was chosen because Safeway was "an early leader" in improving commercial fleet fuel economy. Obama praised the grocery store chain for fitting aerodynamic modifications, larger trailers, and more efficient tires to their transport trucks. "If it can be done here, it can be done all across America."
He also mentioned he "has a soft spot for Safeway" as his grandma often sent him there in his Hawaiian high school days.
The President first started making noise about setting new standards for trucks in 2011, but is now keen to have a firm plan proposed by March 2015 and something in action a year after that, applying to model year 2018 trucks.
Obama began his speech by reminding everyone about the environmental and transportation initiatives he discussed in his last State of the Union Address, and proudly proclaimed "for the first time in nearly 20 years, America [now] produces more oil than we get from other countries."
He also said he still expects American automakers to "double the distance our cars and light trucks can go on a gallon of gas by 2025," claiming that would "save the typical family more than $8,000 at the pump over time," and cut American oil consumption by 12 billion barrels annually.
Once he got into commercial trucks, which he referred to as "heavy duty," he articulated why they matter; "Heavy duty trucks account for 4% of all the vehicles on the highway, but they're responsible for about 20% of pollution in the transportation sector." He also said those trucks own about 20% of our on-road fuel consumption while hauling 70% of domestic freight.
Secretary of the Department Of Transportation Anthony Fox and EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy will collaborate with commercial truck manufacturers, operators, and users to "set new standards of 'heavy duty' trucks," said Obama. Theirs would be the proposal he's expecting by next March.
He also announced that tax credits will be offered to companies companies contributing to the "alternative fuel infrastructure" for commercial vehicles such as biodiesel and CNG as well as heavy duty truck and parts manufacturers.
Obama claims 23 companies have already begun working together on a "clean fleets" model, which currently affects "about one million commercial vehicles nationwide." The President took the opportunity to crack a political joke, essentially saying 'if Pepsi and Coke can get together on this, maybe Democrats and Republicans can too.'
We'll be staying tuned to the DOT and EPA for updates on the "March 2015 Commercial Truck Proposal" and keep you posted.

10 new domestic routes arriving this spring
Today, we announced more opportunities for our customers to travel from five of our U.S. airport hubs to 10 cities in California, Florida, Montana, New York, North Carolina, Oregon and Texas beginning in April 2018. Additionally, we announced that we will begin optimizing our O'Hare International Airport (ORD) schedule to provide shorter connection times and more options for our customers connecting through Chicago.
"We continue to focus on making United the first choice for customers when planning their domestic and international travel," said Grant Whitney, United's vice president of Domestic Network Planning. "Our new daily services connect customers to important business markets and our new seasonal summer routes provide more customers with convenient access to enjoy our National Parks."
Beginning April 9, 2018, service to Wilmington, North Carolina from Chicago and Washington Dulles and to Elmira, New York from New York/Newark will operate daily nonstop service year round. The full list of these new routes includes:
- Chicago to El Paso, Texas
- Chicago to Wilmington, North Carolina
- Denver to Jacksonville, Florida
- Los Angeles to Redmond, Oregon
- Los Angeles to Medford, Oregon
- New York/Newark to Elmira, New York
- Washington-Dulles to Wilmington, North Carolina
We are also offering a new summer service in 2018, allowing more customers to have easier access to popular outdoor destinations like Yosemite National Park near Fresno; Glacier National Park near Kalispell and Yellowstone National Park near Missoula. These daily service routes will begin June 7 and June 8 and include:
- Chicago to Fresno, California
- Los Angeles to Kalispell, Montana
- Los Angeles to Missoula, Montana
In addition to adding new domestic routes to our schedule, we are enhancing our operations in Chicago. Beginning in February 2018, a newly enhanced bank structure at O'Hare Airport will mean shorter connection times and better access to more destinations for our customers connecting through Chicago. This operations enhancement, already in place at our Houston Airport hub, will enable us to greatly improve connectivity throughout our industry-leading global route network.
For more information on our new 2018 domestic routes and our operations enhancement in Chicago, visit United Newsroom.
When and where possible, we are working to repatriate travelers who are stranded abroad in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. Our teams are working closely with government officials here in the U.S. as well as in other countries where flying has been restricted to gain the necessary approvals to operate service. In regions where government actions have barred international flying, we have coordinated with the the U.S. State Department and local government officials to re-instate some flights. Additionally, we have been operating several extra flights to countries in Central America and South America as we continue to play a role in connecting people and uniting the world.
We have operated more than 85 repatriation flights from Panama City, Guatemala City, Quito, Lima, San Pedro Sula, Tegucigalpa and Roatan, bringing nearly 12,000 people home. We will continue working with government officials to operate extra flights to Houston from Quito, San Pedro Sula, Tegucigalpa and from Lima to Washington Dulles and beginning April 5, we will begin operating multiple charter flights between Delhi and San Francisco. We continue to review more opportunities for flights between the United States and other countries to bring citizens home.

Additionally, our Customer Solutions and Recovery team is working with customers in the following markets to rebook them on flights back to the United States as capacity allows, either on our aircraft or on one of our airline partners' planes:
- Quito, Ecuador
- Managua, Nicaragua
- Roatan, Honduras
- San Pedro Sula, Honduras
- Amsterdam
- Brussels
- Munich
- Singapore
- Tokyo-Haneda
- Seoul, South Korea
- Melbourne, Australia
We also recently reinstated several international flights back into our schedule to support customers and essential businesses which depend on these routes. As a result, we will be the only airline to offer service between Newark/New York and London, San Francisco and Sydney, as well as Houston and São Paulo, Brazil.
Throughout these unprecedented times, we remain committed to doing what is right and fair for all of our MileagePlus® members and are pleased to share the steps we are taking to reciprocate the trust and loyalty that you have placed in United. These steps include not only Premier status updates, but also an extension of current memberships and subscriptions. The updates will happen automatically over the next few weeks — there's nothing you need to do.
The big news: If you have current 2020 Premier status, it will be extended to January 31, 2022. At a minimum, you will enjoy the same published status next year that you have today, up to and including Premier 1K®.
For the 2021 status year, United is reducing thresholds for Premier qualification by 50% for each status level, to make reaching an even higher tier easier. You'll still need a minimum of four flight segments on United or United Express®.
2021 status
Earn Premier qualifying flights
and PQP
… or meet a higher PQP goal
We're also doubling PQP for United Explorer cards and quadrupling PQP for the United Club cards.
At the same time that we're decreasing the published program's PQP requirements, via a promotion from May 1 – December 31, 2020, we're doubling (for United Explorer cards) or quadrupling (for United Club cards) the maximum number of PQP that Cardmembers can earn from card spending during 2020 to help achieve a higher level of status than you already have. More details to come later.
1K® and Platinum members, we're increasing your ability to upgrade by extending PlusPoints expiration dates by six months and expanding Skip Waitlist.
- This means a six-month extension of any PlusPoints set to expire on or before January 31, 2021.
- Last year we introduced Skip Waitlist on select flights as a benefit to 1K members, giving you more opportunities to confirm an upgrade request at the time of booking. This benefit will now be available for the rest of 2020 in a significantly expanded selection of long-haul international regions and will have expanded availability in 2021 as well.
We're extending all annual membership and subscription benefits by six months.
- We want to make sure your benefits are still there when you're ready to start flying again. That's why we're extending purchased United Club℠ memberships purchased directly from United and purchased subscriptions for Economy Plus®, United Wi-Fi℠ and checked bags by six months. You should see this reflected in your MileagePlus account soon.
All electronic travel certificates now have 24 months to be used.
- If your travel plans have been disrupted, and you have an electronic travel certificate from us for the value of your ticket, you now have two years from the date it was issued to book a new flight, as well as up to an additional 11 months to travel. This includes all currently valid and all new electronic travel certificates issued on or after April 1, 2020.
We have removed some redeposit fees for the rest of the year.
- We are currently waiving all award redeposit fees for travel through end of May 2020.
- We are now also waiving all redeposit fees for award ticket cancellations made more than 30 days before departure for the remainder of 2020.
Finally, we'll be making it easier to earn status in 2021 for the 2022 program year. We recognize that getting back to travel will occur at a different pace for different members. Keep an eye out for changes we will make to help you earn status in 2021 for 2022, as we'll share details later this year.
Over the years, you have placed your trust and loyalty in United, and we are honored to do the same for you. We are all in this together.
Status extension to January 31, 2022, applies to all members that met the published criteria of the MileagePlus program in 2019, status match associated with the United/Marriott Bonvoy partnership and status offered as part of a Sales nomination. Status granted from other programs and policies may not apply.
To help with the uncertainty around future travel — be it summer vacations, conferences, events and more — customers now have until April 30 to make changes to, or cancel, any travel they have booked through the end of the year without fees. This is in addition to existing waivers already in place which allow customers to change or cancel plans for travel through May 31.If you decide to cancel your flight, you can retain the value of your ticket to be applied to a new ticket without a fee. These electronic travel certificates are now valid for 24 months from the date they were issued. This includes all currently valid electronic certificates and all new ones issued on or after April 1, 2020. You might not see this policy change reflected everywhere right away – we appreciate your patience as we work to make that happen.
Eligible travelers on domestic flights and international tickets can request a refund on united.com or may call our contact centers if their flights have been severely adjusted or service to their destination suspended either due to government mandates or United schedule reductions related to COVID-19.
Certain tickets cannot be changed on united.com or the mobile app, including tickets booked through another airline (if the ticket receipt does not begin with 016). Please contact the original ticketing airline for changes.

This is the story of Jason and Shantel. You see, Jason and Shantel love each other very much. They also love traveling and they love the classic Adam Sandler film, The Wedding Singer.
It all began when Jason reached out to United's social media team, hoping for assistance with his upcoming plan to propose. Some phone calls and one borrowed guitar later, the stage was set for Jason. Put all that together, mix in some helpful United employees and, voila, you have a truly memorable marriage proposal. Congratulations to this fun-loving and happy couple, and here's to many more years of making beautiful music together.
A big thank you to Chicago-based flight attendants Donna W., Marie M., Karen J. and Mark K. for making this proposal come to life.

It can be very hard to find exactly what you want to do in life. Uncovering one's purpose, though supposedly intuitive, can be elusive and transitive. What's more, messages from friends, family and society can add to the confusion. You may feel like you know what you are doing right now is not quite right, but you are not sure what is the next step. Or the thing you love to do does not fit with other dreams you have for your life. Working together we will unpack the complex pieces of career and purpose, allowing you greater freedom and clarity from which to make decisions. You do not have to know right now what is next, only that you wish things to be different.

Disclaimer here: I do not do the standard career testing. You may have to go elsewhere for that. What I am most interested in is helping people to find work that engages them fully and adds to their sense of purpose. Research tells us that people are happiest in their work if they are expressing their top character strengths every day. There is a great online test, which we could use to learn what your top strengths are and then we could explore how you could use them more - in the job you have or in the job that you are searching for.

Do you feel stuck in a life sucking, joyless job? Do you dread going to work every day? Maybe you are still in school and you are at a loss of what to do next? I enjoy helping people find their passions. Sometimes that involves free writing or exploring what your perfect day would look like. As a therapist, using a strengths based perspective, I can help you look at which career choices could be a good fit. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, we can identify what is blocking you from moving forward and pursuing a life you love.

Having done a great deal of college career counseling and being in the business field much of my life, this area comes natural to me. I really enjoy coaching, asking the sixty-four dollar questions. And then discussing those hard areas that are commonly missed. Also I enjoy getting you ready for the changes and/or... Much of career counseling misses the simple points, because one is looking for the technical and the "finer" book concepts that many are taught. Be cool and calm.

Rina, a mother of five living right on the water in Sheepshead Bay in the Brooklyn borough of New York City had her home flooded in Superstorm Sandy and was forced to evacuate without knowing when she
could return. By Friday, November 02, 2012, a friend living in the relative safety of the Bronx has raised over $3,000 of emergency cash for Rina and her kids by setting up a crowdfunding page at GoFundMe.com.
Retired Brooklyn Tech High School football coach, "DiBo" DiBenedetto lost his home in Belle Harbor, New York to a fire that reportedly damaged or destroyed more than twenty homes in the storm and Malcolm Davis, a football coach at Xaverian High School set up a page at GoFundMe.com that raised over $15,000 in 48 hours to help the coach start over.
Kate O'Sullivan launched a GoFundMe page to help those in her neighborhood of Rockaway Beach in the borough of Queens New York on Wednesday; by Friday afternoon, she'd raised over $6,000 to buy generators and other emergency supplies—well ahead of the arrival of help from the Red Cross or FEMA. She was in Boston during the storm and was able to buy supplies there, rent a U-haul and get them to New York.
Rebecca Zinger, who set up the page for Rina and her children, explained, "I'm only doing this because I'm like a sister [to Rina] and I love her." She set up the page on GoFundMe initially hoping only to raise $500, but when that goal was quickly surpassed, she raised the goal to $5,000. In just one day she's raised over $3,000 for Rina, whose oldest recently turned 13 and just celebrated his Bar Mitzvah.
For her part, Rebecca says the storm howled fiercely through her Bronx neighborhood, but the worst she suffered was "losing cable for five minutes."
Malcolm Davis, the football coach who started the campaign for
On the page set up for football coach DiBenedetto, the coach writes, "It's overwhelming to see and read this outpouring of love that I am receiving from the people who are great friends and are very dear to me. The things we have shared and the challenges we have faced together as football players, choral students, colleagues and friends give me the strength to move forward and meet this latest challenge in my life with a firm resolve."
Kate O'Sullivan, who launched the page to help the folks in her neighborhood of Rockaway Beach promises to give all of the money to help her and her neighbors rebuild. She says everyone in the neighborhood comprised mostly of civil servants--teachers, cops and firemen--is working together and helping each other. Kate wanted to shout out her appreciation, saying, "Thank you to the sanitation department," which she says has been especially great in the early days.
GoFundMe CEO Brad Damphousse tells me, "We built GoFundMe to be the place where family, friends and communities come together and support one another when they need it most. Americans know that real charity starts at home, not in the offices of government agencies. GoFundMe empowers individuals to take immediate action and do the right thing when others are in need. We're honored and humbled to play a small role as thousands of regular people are coming together to accomplish amazing things for those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those whose lives are forever changed as a result of this storm."
GoFundMe isn't the only site offering people the chance to raise money to organize their own disaster relief. HelpersUnite.com is another site where disaster victims can create a profile and request help. HelpersUnite is owned by EarlyShares.
Stephen Temes, Chairman and Co-Founder of EarlyShares, said by email, "Having lived the majority of my life in New York City, the devastation that the North East is now facing after Hurricane Sandy really hits home. This hurricane is something that will take more than a while to recover from and we want to make sure that families have a way to reach out to their friends and loved ones for targeted support to help get their lives back on track. These people will need help dealing with the destruction that Hurricane Sandy has caused. As the initial shock subsides, the damage will remain and these families will still need long-term help. The ability as time goes on for these families to draw from their network of friends, family, community, and anyone else for financial support via our social giving platform will make a real difference for those that need it the most."

I tend to use the UNIX command line A LOT. I find it very comfortable to work when I am developing and follow the "Unix as IDE" way. The command line is really rich, and you could probably learn a new different command or parameter each day and still be surprised every day for the rest of your life. But there are some things that sticks and gets done, probably not on the most efficient way.
In my case, is using the command `find` to search for files. 95% of the times I use it, is in this form:
find . -name '*some_text*'
Which means 'find in this directory and all the subdirectories a file that contains some_text in its filename'
It's not that bad, but I also use a lot ack, which I think is absolutely awesome. I think is a must know for anyone using Unix command line. It is a replacement for grep as a tool for searching code, and works the following way (again, in my 90% usage)
ack some_text
Which means 'search in all the files that look like code under this directory and subdirectories that contains the text some_text' (some_text can be a regex, but usually you can ignore that part)
So, after a couple of tests, I decided to make myself my own ack-inspired find replacement, and called it ffind. I've been using it for the last couple of days, and it integrates quite well on my workflow (maybe surprisingly, as I've done it with that in mind)
Basically it does this
ffind some_text
Which means 'find in this directory and all the subdirectories a file that contains some_text in its filename' (some_text can be a regex). It has also a couple of interesting characteristics like it will ignore hidden directories (starting with a dot), but not hidden files, it will skip directories that the user is not allowed to read due permissions and the output will have by default the matching text in color.
The other use case is
ffind /dir some_text
Which means 'find in the directory '/dir' and all the subdirectories a file that contains some_text in its filename'
There are a couple more params, but they are there to deal with special cases.
It is done in Python, and it is available in GitHub. So, if any of this sounds interesting, go there and feel free to use it! Or change it! Or make suggestions!


text: I recently started learning Java for one specific reason: To create a media player that would be able to access a CD (in the CD drive) and play tracks. Nothing fancy (i.e. supporting video files etc etc). Just stick in the CD, run the program, pick a track, play it. Will this be possible? I want to know if I can complete this task feasibly within Java or if I will have to consider another method.

Shallow Survey 2012 - 20/04/2012
More than 200 hydrographic and marine charting experts and other scientists met during the International Shallow Survey Conference held from 20 to 24 February 2012 in Wellington, New Zealand. The conference was hosted by LINZ, NIWA and GNS Science. In addition to the conference's key session on the common dataset, the event comprised five days of workshops, keynote speeches and expert presentations as well as a trade show.
Plenty of networking took place at the Monday evening icebreaker, at the official conference dinner held at Te Wharewaka o Poneke, and also over coffee in Wellington's many excellent cafés.
After the powhiri (Maori welcome), the conference was opened by the Minister for Land Information, the Hon Maurice Williamson, who emphasised the need for agencies to work together to make it easier to find, share and use high-value geospatial information.
Highlights were the four keynote speeches presented each morning. Of note was Larry Mayer (image) from the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping, USA, who looked to the past with a review of his predictions for the future, made in 2001, before taking out his crystal ball to see where technology is heading. He said that "operational mindset change" is required for more efficiency in the collection of data.
On Wednesday, Cornel de Ronde (GNS Science) spoke of his exploration of Lake Rotomahana last year and the re-discovery of the world-famous Pink & White Terraces that had disappeared after the volcanic eruption of Mt Tarawera in 1886.
LINZ's National Hydrographer, Adam Greenland's, theme was 'New Zealand Bathymetry: Mapping the farm'. Adam pointed out that New Zealand's seabed within the Exclusive Economic Zone, coupled with the extended continental shelf and the Ross Sea, is 29 times the size of the country itself, thus giving the country unparalled opportunities for economic growth.
The final keynote was from NIWA's Geoffroy Lamarche who spoke on using remote-sensed data for quantitative shallow water habitat mapping in New Zealand and the need to develop strategies for characterising largely unknown coastal seafloor environments and to assess potential resources.
The Common Dataset, the centrepiece of the conference, was the focus of the first conference session, with speakers commenting on the performance of the systems used to collect data in and around Wellington Harbour.
Duncan Mallace, from NetSurvey, made a comparison of the backscatter data which provoked some discussions amongst the system manufacturers.
Chair of the conference organising committee Adam Greenland said, that the conference was a great success for the New Zealand and international speakers, delegates and trade show exhibitors. He found the breadth and depth of cutting edge science imparted over the week impressive. The 7th International Shallow Survey Conference will be held in the UK in 2015. The location is yet to be determined.
The principal sponsors of this Shallow Survey conference were Discovery Marine Limited (New Zealand), Fugro (The Netherlands), IX Survey (Australia & France) and Kongsberg (Norway).Last updated: 03/04/2020

Renton Media
I am an entrepreneur who has started and sold several businesses. My latest venture is a blog consulting company. So many small business owners want to establish a blog but don't have the time or expertise to do so. I will be helping them at varying levels of involvement. I just started this company last week, so it is a one person venture right now. I hope and expect to make this a multi-million dollar business within 5 years. The personality I am trying to get across is friendly and personal service, small business focus, with very much a 21st century approach.
I will be targeting small business owners. Everyone from a small bakery, an attorney, printing company. Any small business that has or wants an online presence. Right now I have the following potential clients: a business broker, an online directory and a label printer.
I am open to ideas here. I want to reflect a friendly a personal feel but with a modern twist. The result of my work will be online but the service I provide is very much tailored to the individual company. You can use the "R" and the "M" in my company name (such as HP does) or just use the whole name (like Dell). I would like the logo to be flexible so that it will work on a variety of different media such as business cards, envelopes, labels, web sites.
The two words of my company, Renton and Media, are similar in length so they could go one under the other, but I would also like to see them on the same line to see which I prefer.
Output would ideally be a PDF or EPS as well as a JPG.

A lot of celebrities are making headlines lately for all the wrong reasons. First we hear about tennis star Andre Agassi admitting to meth (a toxic stimulant drug) use when he was on the tennis circuit (what was he thinking?) and now Tiger Woods, with everyone speculating about his personal problems.
All of this news has made SBB think a lot about how we make choices in our lives. Why do intelligent, successful people make bad choices when they have so much to lose—even (and maybe especially) superstars?
Taking a Risk
We look at this question of personal choices and self control a lot at NIDA while we study drug abuse. Initially, taking drugs is a choice. Over time, drug abuse can become a disease we call addiction. But what makes us risk the consequences of making the choice to try drugs? Not everyone becomes addicted to them, but many do. So why do people risk it?
To find answers, scientists are studying the brain chemical called dopamine. Dopamine gives us a feeling of euphoria, a physical surge of pleasure in response to things we enjoy, which are different for different people. From healthy pleasures, like eating a good meal or scoring a goal, to unhealthy ones, like doing drugs or stealing from stores.
Once you become addicted to that rush of dopamine, it's hard to stop the behavior. And, once you become addicted, it's hard to feel pleasure from the simple things in life—like a great piece of music, holding hands with someone you really like, spending a fun day with the family, or having a laugh with friends.
Making a Different Choice
So how do we avoid making bad choices in the first place?
SBB suggests focusing on the genuine pleasures in your life. Fill your day with them. Go shopping with a friend, watch a game with friends, join a club at school, watch a movie, read a great book…Protect the simple pleasures in your life—and when it comes to drugs, maybe think about what you might lose.
People, young people in particular should not always use celebrities as role models. Listen to your parents.
ordinary people make mistakes how much more celebrities. it's a matter of making a good decision and having the right perspective.
I wish there was a way to keep young people from idolizing celebrities and sports figures so much. There are so many everyday people out there that are immeasurabley better role models than somebody who is famous just because they have talent at throwing, catching or hitting a ball.
@Anthony Masiello-- what is wrong with haveing a celebritie as a role modle? i mean what if a kids dreme is to become a rapper and then people tell him that rapping is all bad because some of it has drugs and profound things?
It is a shame that people so easily choose pleasures over integrity. It makes me think of a quote that says: "Wisdom considers not only the cost of a choice, but also its value." Wes Fessler
Not all celebrities are role model but there is quiet a number of celebrity role model out there like Oprah,Obama and many moer others.
[commercial links removed, per guidelines]
Hi this is amazing site! really perfect and it will be a new inspirations for me
As we made choices in our lives, we should not be influence by some big celebrities.
this website is OK but it never give good info
this site is cool but the info is kinda biased

My parents Art & Vida are celebrating their 50th Anniversary this summer. I need a great "mark" that includes the number 50 to put on Tshirts for the event
My family has a tradition of designing a logo and Tshirt for important events. My parents Art & Vida are celebrating their 50th Anniversary this summer and I want a really amazing logo/mark to brand the events. Logos for past events we have done have been very graphic in nature, quite contemporary and bold.
- The mark should at least include:
- A (or Art) representing my Dad
- V (or Vida) representing my Mom
- The number 50I like orange, red and apple green as colors. Black and one color is fine or multiple colors is ok to
Style should be contemporary, clean, graphic like the Armani Exchange http://www.armaniexchange.com/ but with a bit more happening
- I don't want anything that says "Happy 50th Anniversary" This is meant to be a logo for the celebration weekend.
- I don't want this to look like clipart
- I don't want it to be overdesigned. It should be simple

Diplomats in New York rack up a lot of unpaid parking tickets, but not all rack them up at the same rates. According to the economists Raymond Fisman and Edward Miguel, diplomats from countries that rank high on the Transparency International corruption index pile up huge numbers of unpaid tickets, whereas diplomats from countries that rank low on the index barely get any at all.
Between 1997 and 2002, the U.N. Mission of Kuwait picked up 246 parking violations per diplomat. Diplomats from Egypt, Chad, Sudan, Mozambique, Pakistan, Ethiopia and Syria also committed huge numbers of violations. Meanwhile, not a single parking violation by a Swedish diplomat was recorded. Nor were there any by diplomats from Denmark, Japan, Israel, Norway or Canada.
The reason there are such wide variations in ticket rates is that human beings are not merely products of economics. The diplomats paid no cost for parking illegally, thanks to diplomatic immunity. But human beings are also shaped by cultural and moral norms. If you're Swedish and you have a chance to pull up in front of a fire hydrant, you still don't do it. You're Swedish. That's who you are.
Walter Lippmann got to the crux of the matter in a speech 65 years ago. People don't become happy by satisfying their desires, he said. They become happy by living within a belief system that restrains and gives coherence to their desires:
"Above all the other necessities of human nature, above the satisfaction of any other need, above hunger, love, pleasure, fame -- even life itself -- what a man most needs is the conviction that he is contained within the discipline of an ordered existence."
People need the coherence their culture provides and value it even more than easy parking.
For several decades a veteran foreign aid worker, Lawrence E. Harrison, has contemplated the power of culture in shaping behavior. He's concluded that cultural differences mostly explain why some nations develop quickly while others do not.
All cultures have value because they provide coherence, but some cultures foster development while others retard it. Some cultures check corruption, while others permit it. Some cultures focus on the future, while others focus on the past. Some cultures encourage the belief that individuals can control their own destinies, while others encourage fatalism.
In a new book, The Central Liberal Truth, Harrison takes up the question that is at the center of politics today: Can we self-consciously change cultures so they encourage development and modernization? Harrison is writing about poverty, but this is incidentally a book about the war on terror, and whether it is possible to change culture in the Middle East and the ghettos of Muslim Europe.
On the one hand, Harrison is an optimist. He has taken his title from one of Daniel Patrick Moynihan's greatest observations: "The central conservative truth is that it is culture, not politics, that determines the success of a society. The central liberal truth is that politics can change a culture and save it from itself."
But when Harrison turns to how politics can change culture, you find he is a man who has been made aware of the limitations on what we can know and achieve. Harrison and a team of global academics studied cultural transformations in Ireland, China, Latin America and elsewhere. They concluded that cultural change can't be imposed from the outside, except in rare circumstances. It has to be led by people who recognize and accept responsibility for their own culture's problems and selectively reinterpret their own traditions to encourage modernization.
Harrison observes that gigantic investments in education, and especially in improving female literacy, usually precede transformations. Chile was highly literate in the 19th century, and in 1905, 90 percent of Japanese children were in school. These investments laid the groundwork for takeoffs that were decades away.
Harrison points to many other factors -- leaders who encourage economic liberalization, movements that restrict the power of the clerics -- but the main impressions he leaves are that cultural change is measured in centuries, not decades, and that cultures are separated from one another by veils of complexity and difference.
If Harrison is right, it is no wonder that young Muslim men in Britain might decide to renounce freedom and prosperity for midair martyrdom. They are driven by a deep cultural need for meaning. But it is also foolish to think we can address the root causes of their toxic desires. We'll just have to fight the symptoms of a disease we can neither cure nor understand.

Roma goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg has revealed that he wanted to join Fulhamduring the January transfer window.
The Netherlands international has found playing time limited at Roma this season and was London-bound when his club cancelled the deal.
"I really wanted to join Fulham. I would have been guaranteed playing time," he told Sport Promotion NL.
"I'm really disappointed that the transfer didn't take place. I hoped that this situation would have ended differently.
"It's a big blow that will take me a little time to get over, but I'm a professional and my objective is to become the first choice at Roma again.
"I can't really blame anyone for this though. Roma, from the start, told me that they would have only sold me should they get an adequate replacement.
"The fact that the deal wasn't done doesn't mean that it won't happen any more. We'll see what the situation is like in the summer."
Stekelenburg joined Roma in 2011 after nine years with Ajax.

I am Usman Ghani, providing variety of IT services to my prosperous clients including website designing and hosting etc. I want to show my client more than one concepts in this regard for teh upcoming website.
Not to be confused, this website is not about an airline or a particular airport etc, but to provide Private Aviation Services such as Charterd Flights, catering, Flight Solutions, Helping clients to arrange custom flights. So main concept is to target the clients (rich ones mostly :) ) that would require such services. You could use images of your choice but mainly of planes pictures taken at dusk or dawn time (other images are not prohibited). The logo for this site will be available by email byt if u r able to propose for that as well it would be great. My client want to see different colour schemes and samples. Thsi company wuld be starting off from Saudi Arabia. The website http://www.vistajet.com/ is appreciated alot for it's layout by teh client. You can initially include links such as:
About Us
Jetlane Flight Solutions
Jetlane Services
Media Centre
Personal Services
Contact Us
Vertical navigation bar would be preffered, later the design header may be converted to flash.
The deliverables would be like a PSD with all fonts etc used and so on. If there is something not clear please write back to me on email@example.com
Thanks & With Best Regards,
Usman Ghani

Kashgar began through a love of travel. Bernard packed in his house painting business and set off for two years on a backpacking trek to the remotest corners of the world. When he arrived in the oasis city of Kashgar (or Käshí) in Xinjiang Provence, China after an extended period of very rough travel, he was so impressed with the history of the region that he decided on the spot to start a new life collecting and selling exotic goods from all over the world. Kashgar is a legendary city, famous for over 2000 years as a melting pot both for revolutionary ideas and new concepts, but also as the key trading post on the Silk Road. It was this unique combination of philosophy and exotica that Bernard wanted to recreate at home. Starting in markets in 1991, he opened his first store in the Sydney suburb of Newtown in 1994. Fascinated by his travels, I gave up my career as a government scientist to join him sixteen years ago and soon convinced my partner Ian to join us in what has since become The Family Business.
Today our version of Kashgar stocks a hugely diverse range of furniture, rugs, textiles, antiques, handicrafts and jewellery sourced from over twenty different countries including India, Nepal, Tibet, China, Thailand, Burma, Laos, the Philippines, Vietnam, Mexico, Peru, Turkey, Palestine, Syria, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan. Our 2000-piece collection includes contemporary and tribal silver and gold jewellery, a unique range of headhunting curios, antique Buddhist relics and a collection of one-off necklaces and bracelets that I design and create myself using the beads and jewellery making techniques of ethnic minorities from around the globe.
Kashgar is a philosophy as well as a store. We are committed to supporting traditional artisans and small village communities by selling authentic handcrafted goods which are personally collected by us. By supporting traditional methods of design and production we hope to encourage local cottage industries which have a low impact on the environment and help ethnic minorities maintain their self-sufficiency into the 21st Century. We are particularly committed to assisting women around the world and to this end have worked with several organisations including the Hua Bin Women's Union of Vietnam, the East Timorese Women's Association and Tikondane in Zambia. Time honoured means of craftsmanship and traditional ways of life are disappearing as people all over the world give up their identity in favour of jeans and T-shirts. We see our trade as a means of staving off the inevitable encroachment of the 21st century, assisting communities to decide for themselves which parts of the western world they wish to incorporate (medicine, education) and which they wish to reject (prostitution, begging, servitude to warlords). We encourage our customers to think of the handicrafts and artifacts they buy from us as an investment: a piece of history and a way of life that may soon be gone forever.
Kashgar currently has one retail outlet in Sydney. Our pieces have appeared as props in movies such as The Hobbit, Mission Impossible 2, Queen of the Damned, Scooby Doo, Moulin Rouge and Wolverine, and in series such as Farscape and Beastmaster, as well as in a large number of plays, commercials and exhibitions. We are occasionally commissioned to find special pieces for individual customers as well as for film sets, event management companies, hotels, businesses, consulates and embassies. The uniqueness of our stock means that we are also very appealing to interior and fashion designers with a taste for the exotic.
There is something for everyone at Kashgar - collectors, the curious, those looking for a special present or for something unique to adorn the home. New stock arrives all the time, and most of our items are one-off specialties; other pieces we only stock in small quantities so as to continuously offer a wide and ever-changing range of interesting products. We are also packed with ideas for decorating home and work premises that will challenge your established concepts of design and storage.
Please enjoy - Linda Heaphy
