This book is one of a series originally written by faculty in a Kamehameha reading program. The books were designed to increase students’ reading skills and their knowledge of Hawaiian history and culture by focusing on topics such as the Hawaiian monarchy. Some of these books have been translated from their original English into Hawaiian through the efforts of the staff of the Kamehameha Schools Hawaiian Studies Institute. We are pleased at the reception both the English and the Hawaiian editions have received from educational and general audiences....

Excerpt Details
Kamehameha was born in secret and buried in secret. In between he lived a very public life of action, courage, wisdom and justice. He brought together the smaller separate island chiefdoms, uniting them into one great Hawaiian nation. Under his later leadership people lived peaceful and productive lives. Kamehameha the Great was written to tell young readers about the first ruler of all Hawai?i. It is based upon traditional and historical sources including writings by people who lived at that time and oral histories handed down over the last two centuries. Many questions remain and historical debate continues concerning specific events of Kamehameha’s life. No one now or in the future will ever know all the true details. This version contains selected highlights of commonly accepted accounts portraying events and personal characteristics which helped Kamehameha become known as the greatest of all Hawaiians....

SHY FEET Part One Thirty-seven years ago, I was born into debt. I arrived two weeks early, surprising both my mother and the woman whose hair she was cutting. Before I’d even entered the world, I owed my mother the price of her customer’s leather loafers. Thirty years ago, a teacher told my mother to keep an eye on me. I was “frighteningly astute" and “abnormally self-aware” for my age. In other words, I was going places. Twenty-eight years ago, I paid my mother back for those leather loafers with money I made from selling jars of jam to our neighbours. Every Sunday evening I would stand on a stool in front of our gas stove and stir a viscose pink liquid around a giant saucepan. Behind me, my mother would hold her breath as I poured the hot mixture into jars, never spilling a drop. Twenty-six years ago, I began secondary school. Within weeks I learnt that with very little effort I could get top marks in most subjects. I rarely studied more than I had to and I blitzed through my homework on the school bus home. While Mum finished work in the front room, I cooked dinner for us both, listening to her scissors snip through ...

I started writing this book on my cell phone on an airplane flight- with my phone in “airplane mode”, of course... While trapped in my seat for a couple hours I started typing a list of ways to spend less money and ended up with 101 tips. After I landed, I added some description, stories, and details to each tip to create a resource to help people spend less money. The tips on saving money in this book can be used to save money, of course, but they can also help you think about money and spending in a different way. Things look different when you have your debt and spending under control. New possibilities open up. You have more freedom and less stress. ...

Buying food at a convenience store is rarely a good idea, but if you do, here is a tip to avoid paying sales tax on food items. Back in college, I would sometimes get a "grinder" burrito at a convenience store, not a bad lunch for about $1.00. If you paid for the burrito before microwaving it, it was considered a grocery item and there was no sales tax. If you microwaved it first and then paid for it, you were charged 6% sales tax since it was considered a prepared food item. Of course, saving 6 cents on a burrito is not going to change your life, but if you can save 6 cents every time you get a burrito, savings can add up over time. The point is not to pay more than you need to pay for anything and hold on to the savings, no matter how small. Wasting money is a bad habit- I try to adopt a "zero-tolerance" policy for wasting money. I suppose some would say I could save even more money by either not buying the burrito, or by buying the burrito somewhere else- you can get a burrito for 79 cents at Taco John's on "Taco Tuesday", or probably make one at home for about 35 cents. It is always a fuzzy line between "needs" and...

CohesiveFT sifted through our blog posts from 2006 onward, without any editorial updates (although tempted), in order to present the posts as a reflection of ours and some of our colleagues’ thoughts at the time. Interspersed with each chapter are new, exclusive insights from friends, colleagues, and customers we met along the journey. Each chapter looks back at the short history of cloud computing from the early stages where clouds were far off, through the gathering clouds that turned into fog.

Exclusive Viewpoint: Cloud Still Has a Long Way to Come Chad Lawler Director, Consulting Services, Cloud Computing at Hitachi Consulting It’s very interesting to look ahead and try to anticipate where the puck is going. The truth is that what Werner Vogels has stated about where we are in the “maturity curve” is absolutely true – that even with the progress we’ve made, we are very early in the cloud evolution. We want instant gratification with a solution that fits all of our needs, but we’re not there yet. We’re certainly not at the point where true utility computing is a reality. Here is an example: most cloud vendors say they offer pay-per-use functionality, when really they’re offering pay-per-allocation. You allocate a small, medium, large, or extra-large compute size, server memory, and a certain amount of storage. You pay for what you allocate, not what you use. When you allocate 10TB of storage on AWS S3 and do not use all of it, you still pay for the 10TB allocated. In order to have scalable storage you still have to pay to allocate it. The idea of utility computing is still very relevant, interesting...

FOREWORD: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION. MANY NOTEWORTHY EFFORTS, both scholarly and otherwise, have been made in modern times to chronicle the events that took place at the dawn of the Twenty-First century, before the Fall and the subsequent New Enlightenment, but none have focussed so completely on the human element as what we, the Publishers, proudly present to you here. The recent discovery of Adelaide Pemberton’s journal has provided us with some unique glimpses into that banished Age of over five-hundred years past; however, those writings are woefully incomplete, and educated speculation is required to draw a coherent picture of those most-important events as experienced and witnessed by the one deemed most critical to the foundation of our present society. Therefore, we have commissioned esteemed psycho- historian Doctor Judith Burnley to construct for us a credible interpretation of the thoughts and convictions held by one of the most mythic figures from human history; this has been an undertaking that, we are well assured, was not taken lightly. Ladies and Gentlemen, we proudly give to you: “Adelaide’s Pinnygig”. The...

Im Januar 2014 veröffentlichte die Piratenfraktion ihren ersten Zwischenbericht zur Arbeit des Untersuchungsausschusses zur Aufklärung des BER-Skandals unter dem Namen „unten bleiben“. Seitdem ist eine Menge passiert und der Ausschuss hat insbesondere bei den ofenen Fragen zur Steuerung des Projekts BER, zur Verantwortlichkeit der Geschäftsführung der Flughafengesellschaft Berlin Brandenburg GmbH und zum Informationstransport während der heißen Phase des Projekts in den Jahren 2011 und 2012 enorme Fortschritte erzielt. Wie von der Piratenfraktion schon 2013 gefordert, wurde im Juni 2014 der Aufrag des Untersuchungsausschusses endlich – mit allen Stimmen des Abgeordnetenhauses – um die Ära Mehdorn und das Krisenmanagement erweitert, welches heute als eins der Hauptprobleme bei der Fertigstellung des Flughafens gelten muss. Bis zur parlamentarischen Sommerpause 2015 ist es so gelungen, maßgebliche Akteure der Projektsteuerung, der Flughafengesellschaft, der Planer, der angeschlossenen Ämter, Verwaltungen sowie externe Sachverständige zu befragen. Die Ergebnisse können sich sehen lassen, reichen aber auf keinen Fall aus, u...

In the second book of this series we pick up the story in the 1960s twenty years before the 100 yrars book was produced. We do this as the first book missed out a vital section in relation to the merger of Coles with Priestman Brothers. This merger began to show cracks in the industry and in management thinking at the time. This book has the advantage of hindsight but hopefully gets closer to the truth of what happened to the company. In such a large company there are many stories here is the basic story of what happened....

By the late 1960s Coles, which was at this time part of the company Steels Engineering Products Ltd, had three factories in the United Kingdom producing cranes. Sunderland. - This the “Crown Works” was the main factory where there was a range of cranes being produced, among them the Aeneas, Proteus, Argus, Vigorous, Illustrious, Centurion, Valiant, Ranger, Liea, Endurance, Doninant and Conqueror. Many of these were available in different option as mobile, lorry mounted, rail, semi and full tower units. Also the newly developed Hydra hydraulic cranes were beginning to make an impact and production increased. Glzenbuty. - This was the old factory of F. Taylor & Sons which was ending its lines of Jumbo and Jib carrier cranes Grantham. - This was where R H Neal Ltd had been in business since 1939, although incorporated into Coles they were still making a range of their own diesel mechanical cranes and a hydraulic Hymax hybrid. A new hydraulic introduced based on the Hydra truck was a rough terrain unit called the Husky, these would eventually become the sole production of this factory as the range extended and became a massive...

The Compleat Psychic is a self-help book about the meaning of life, the destiny of the human race, and how to lose the weight and keep it off. How can I presume to write about such exalted subjects? That's easy. I'm psychic. So are you. So is everyone. Just because you have never tried to intuitively interpret a situation or peek into the future doesn't mean that you cannot do it. Don't forget that when you start practicing something over and over, you get better at it, and this is what will happen when you start working with your psychic abilities. My book is a training manual in practical psychic techniques which actually work. Have you ever wished you could pick up on what are usually non-perceptible energies? Or find a way to tell if someone is lying to you? Or stop using guesswork when you make decisions about raising children, running a business, preserving your equity, or creating a successful relationship? This book will help you do all this and more: you will be able to go through your days feeling harmony and grace instead of the crap you're probably dealing with at the moment.

En effet, plusieurs sujets qui y sont abordés n’ont pas fait auparavant l’objet d’une analyse véritablement approfondie. Sa singularitè, si l’ on peut dire, tient à la fois de l’originalité des sujets mais d’avantage de la qualité de leur traitement.

Aussi singulier qu’il puisse paraitre, ce livre ne flirte pas avec l’innovation. Il ne va ni en-deçà ni au-delà de la parole d’Allah. Le coran et la sunna du Messager (prière et salut sur lui) sont la source exclusive dans laquelle le grand humaniste Amin Sheikho s’est abreuvé pour le mettre en œuvre....

Opportunity Many times we ask ourselves why so and so is able to amass a fortune, when at one point they were in the same situation as us? He wanted to succeed, that is why he made it. Follow me. It is not only the matter luck, and I’m not even a fan of it. Do you rely on luck to fulfill your dreams? It is said that “luck is where preparation meets opportunity”? You have to be prepared to utilize the opportunity that surrounds you -that is your luck. Never wait for luck to just show up. Do you catch my drift? Will you still continue to wait for “luck”? This book cost you money and I believe you bought it to make money or change your present situation. If you borrow it from someone it is for a purpose. Money is important whether you agree or not. If you doubt what I say try to ride a bus for free. Whatever your attitude may be towards money, you are right. If you don’t revere it, you will not get it. We often hear people say opportunity knocks but once. I want to run counter to that saying “What is opportunity in the first place”? According to the Oxford Dictionary, it is “a time or set of circumstances that makes it possible t...

Do you want to reach the pinnacle of your profession? This book is practical and not theoretical. Have you had enough of unworkable theories? Unworkable theories are “myths of knowledge”. They do not create any effect or inspire change in people’s lives. Approach this book with a practical mind for all resources in it are practical. This book is a bank of ideas and thoughts. You don’t need an MBA to build a successful business. Nor do you need to become a techno guru before you can embark on any tech project. There are no insurmountable barriers that could prevent you from achieving your goal. A close friend of mine once joked that he was required to submit dozens of documents in order to open his LLC. In return, he expected a fancy name. However, the Registry Department just gave him a piece of paper with the words “General Director” printed on it. If you ask me ‘How can you be your own boss?’ I will ask you to go for the title of “general director”. That is to say, create your own LLC if you want to be free from your tyrannical boss. On the other hand, if you are looking for a job and can’t find one for yourself, create one so t...
