Wheel of Fortune Takes the Show on the Road
By S. Clayton Moore,
The success of "Wheel of Fortune" is staggering. Every episode provides an entertaining half-hour for more than 19 million viewers. The show has been on the air, in one form or another, for more than 30 years.
A young fan in the Denver audience asks Vanna White a question.
What viewers might not know is that every so often, "Wheel of Fortune" takes its whole production on the road, to tape the show live, in front of fans all over America. Since 1989, "Wheel of Fortune" has taped more than 45 remote segments in 25 different cities, in front of more than 350,000 fans.
Moving the show is no small feat, and is akin to putting a major rock band out on tour. It costs over $2 million to move the show's custom sets, the 4,000-pound wheel itself, and the Wheelmobile—a 32-foot Winnebago that tests the puzzle-solving skills of thousands of potential players—around the country. The show's hosts, Pat Sajak and Vanna White, as well as 150 staff and crew, are flown to each site. They stay in local hotels for several days and film promotional spots at familiar tourist attractions.
This season alone, the show has traveled to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Dallas. It even went to New Orleans last August, but had to cancel filming just before Hurricane Katrina hit.
"It was a little windy, as I recall," Sajak said. "It was weird because we were taping on Saturday night, and Monday, I was at home watching the town go underwater. Happily, all the contestants were all right. We brought the players who were scheduled for that canceled day out to Los Angeles, and they got to play the game."
In March, the show traveled to Denver, where it was filmed at the Colorado Convention Center. Nearly 5,000 ardent fans gathered to watch 15 shows, filmed over the course of three days. The themed shows will be shown during "Great Outdoors Week," "College Week" and "Mom & Me Week," all to air in May 2006.
"It's great when we travel, because it lets a lot of people who might not be able to travel to Los Angeles see the show," says Vanna White, the show's famous hostess. "It's been on the air for more than 20 years, so it's exciting for them to see how it really works. Being here with Pat and I and the wheel and puzzle board is fascinating for them."
The world's most famous game show
Pat Sajak and Vanna White weren't always television's most celebrated spin doctors. Created by television legend Merv Griffin, the original pilot for "Wheel of Fortune" aired in 1974, and was hosted by Ed "Kookie" Byrnes. It made its NBC debut on Jan. 6, 1975, pitting three contestants against each other in the popular "solve the puzzle" contest, similar to the children's game, "Hangman." It quickly caught on as a straightforward but addictive viewing pleasure.
Chuck Woolery hosted the show from 1975 to 1981, with Susan Stafford handling letter-turning duties. Owned by the Sony Corporation, it has been distributed by King World Features since 1983.
The show came into its highest popularity in 1981, when Griffin chose Pat Sajak, a struggling Nashville weatherman, as host.
"It's the great job in broadcasting and I make no secret of it," Sajak laughed.
In 1980, a 23-year old actress named Vanna White was chosen to "come on down" on "The Price is Right," the only game show on television that has been on longer than "Wheel of Fortune." Two years later, White auditioned for the wheel-turning job and became the show's regular co-host and a genuine American icon.
In September 2005, "Wheel of Fortune" started its 23rd season. It continues to draw a larger audience than most primetime shows and has been ranked as television's top syndicated series for 86 consecutive sweeps seasons.
Vanna White and Pat Sajak have been two of the country's favorite game show hosts for more than 20 years.
Much of the show's spark comes from Harry Friedman, who joined the series as a producer in 1995, and was elevated to executive producer of both "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!" in 1999. He has been an innovator on "Wheel of Fortune," introducing new puzzles and bonus round challenges, developing the show's website and viewer loyalty program (the SPIN I.D. program), conceptualizing the Wheelmobile and even updating the famous puzzle board so that the letters change with a touch of Vanna White's hand.
"Our goal is to keep these shows fresh, stimulating and exciting," he proclaimed.
One way the show maintains its novelty is through its road trips. In Denver, the show featured custom-designed, state-of-the-art sets that reflect a Rocky Mountain aesthetic. The 5,000 audience members were entertained with performances by the University of Colorado's band and cheerleading team.
"Taking 'Wheel of Fortune' to the majestic city of Denver gives our viewers a glimpse of the great outdoors," Friedman said. "These exciting episodes showcase the area's natural beauty."
During one of the Denver shows, Doug Presley, a senior Air Force Academy cadet from Colorado Springs, matched wits with other college students. He didn't win the game, but walked away with a few thousand dollars and a great experience.
"It was a blast," Presley exclaimed. "I had so much fun today."
"Wheel of Fortune" has been a longtime supporter of the Air Force and other military services, through its regular "Armed Forces Week" themed show.
"It's always a huge success," White remembered. "We gave away lots of money. It's a nice way to get some of our military people on television and show viewers the great job our armed forces are doing."
Sajak, an Army veteran, feels a real connection to folks like Presley.
"You feel a certain kinship with these folks, because you know what they went through," he said. "They're pretty amazing men and women, to put themselves in the armed services, and do it voluntarily with great spirit. I have great respect for them."
The high-flying Vanna White
Vanna White meets guests before the show without makeup or her trademark sequined outfits.
Of course, most viewers are familiar with the natural beauty and hostess. Vanna White, a small town girl from North Myrtle Beach, S.C., has become one of television's most famous personalities. Before the show, she stops by to see guests and visitors backstage, without all the television glamour.
"I usually drop in to where the contestants are waiting, right before I go into hair and makeup, so they get the opportunity to see the 'real me,'" she said. "I'm right out of the shower, in my jeans and a sweater, and just come in to say, 'Hello and good luck.'"
She's made the most out of the job, leapfrogging from letter-turning to commercial endorsements, a nutritional video and numerous fashion layouts. In 1992, the "Guinness Book of World Records" recognized her as "Television's Most Frequent Clapper." She averages 720 claps per episode and more than 28,000 claps per season.
White's career necessitates her frequent use of private jets, in order to make appearances across the country. It's a little-known fact that she once had a lucrative jet charter operation. She bought her first Lear 35 in August 1994, and hired Clay Lacy to manage the jet out of his Van Nuys headquarters.
"I got involved because my ex-husband (George Santo Pietro, whom White divorced in 2002) was a pilot," she explained. "We started flying a lot, and I thought, 'Why not get my own jet?' We got a jet with Clay Lacy's help and it was always rented out. So we got another one, and it kind of became a business."
Within six months of buying the first jet, White had purchased a second $2.1 million Lear. The jets proved to be a very profitable investment, earning an 11 percent return, plus she used them extensively to fly to locations like her home in Aspen, Colo.
White gave up the jet business following her divorce, but has kept up her savvy investments. She has poured some of her "Wheel of Fortune" money into real estate, buying and selling several homes and building one from the ground up. She also buys and collects fine wines.
In previous years, she had more time to act. She starred in the NBC television movie "The Goddess of Love" and made cameo appearances on "The A-Team" and "Full House," as well as in movies such as last year's "Dirt Nap," directed by D.B. Sweeney. These days, though, White spends most of her energy on her biggest treasures, her two children, 11-year-old Nicholas and 8-year-old Giovanna.
"I used to want to pursue more acting and singing, but when I became a mother, everything changed," she said. "They grow up so fast, and I don't want to miss any part of their lives. They keep me very busy, when I'm not working on the show."
White, who received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on April 20, is still surprised at the show's enduring popularity.
"When I started on the show, it was only a daytime game show," she remembered. "I thought, 'This would be a great run if I could do it for a few years.' It's turned into a lifetime."
Parents have often told her that their children learned the alphabet by watching the show. White believes the game's simplicity is the key to its success.
"The thing that I think has kept the show alive all these years is that we've never changed the basis of the game," she said. "Everyone loves solving the puzzles. It's been around so long that it's turned into a bit of Americana. It's a half-hour of family fun and when you get everyone in the family to play, it's fun no matter what age you are."
Here's Pat
Vanna White and Pat Sajak greet fans.
You might think Pat Sajak has seen it all, and sometimes, he has—like the contestant who was so excited at winning that he kissed the host's feet.
"It doesn't take much to shock me, even after 23 years," he laughed. "That's the funny thing about contestants. You want someone who isn't afraid to speak up in public, but you don't want someone who thinks they're auditioning for 'American Idol.'"
It's a fairly strange profession for a guy who started out as a typical broadcaster. While attending Columbia College, Sajak started out as a guest DJ on a local radio show, near his hometown of Chicago.
In 1968, he joined the U.S. Army and was promptly sent to Vietnam, where he hosted the morning show on AFVN in Saigon, yelling "Good Morning, Vietnam!"
"It was the biggest market I'd ever worked in up to that point," he says with a smile. "We had half a million American soldiers there, as well as tons of civilians. It was the real beginning of my broadcasting career."
Upon returning to the States, he bounced from gig to gig, working as a disc jockey, talk show host and weatherman, before being called up to "Wheel of Fortune" in 1981. He even got his own talk show, briefly, in 1989. He continues to host his own radio show, "The Pat Sajak Baseball Hour," and occasionally fills in for Regis Philbin or Larry King.
"Doing the talk shows is a fun sideline," he said. "I like what I'm doing and don't have any plans beyond this show, which I assume will be the last major job of my life. But it's fun to sit in and scratch that itch, without having to be there every day. I love doing it, but after a few days of doing a talk show, I'm ready to go back to the alphabet."
Sajak makes hosting "Wheel of Fortune" look easy and admits the job isn't taxing.
"I know the logistics of the show well enough that I could do it in deep REM sleep if I had to, but that's not fair to the people that watch the show," he said. "It's why I get the big bucks."
In fact, Sajak works just a shade over 30 days a year, taping the show.
"My life is a series of two-week vacations, and even on the days we tape, it's not exactly grueling," he admitted. "It's a good way to make a living, and I recognize it. It's a lot of fun when there are a lot of jobs that are not."
It sounds so good that even he has to laugh.
"I sound so well adjusted," he said. "There must be a dark side to me somewhere."
U.S. Air Force Academy senior cadet Doug Presley was a guest during College Week.
A big part of the job is making guests comfortable enough to appear collected on television.
"We do these little interviews, not to dispense any great wisdom, but to try to break that terrible tension they have," he explained. "They're on TV now, so we try to get them to talk about themselves a little bit and break the sweat."
Even though a good working knowledge of pop culture and an affinity for Scrabble doesn't hurt, occasionally even Sajak is surprised at who wins. He recalled one recent contestant who kept catching a break when other players hit the "bankrupt" slot on the wheel. She was able to solve a series of mostly completed puzzles.
"It just kept falling into her lap, and she ended up winning the game," Sajak remembered. "As we were heading into the last commercial, she turned to me and said, 'I don't know where I am.' That was fairly frightening to hear."
At the end of the first game in Denver's "College Week" series, the winning contestant got off to a good start, winning more than $100,000 during her 22 minutes of fame. It's just another prize on a show that has awarded over $153 million in cash and prizes to contestants over the past 20 years.
Sajak says hosting a show like that is just as enjoyable as it looks.
"First of all, it's fun," he said. "As corny as it sounds and as corny as it may look sometimes, it's a great feeling to hand someone a new car or a hundred grand. You've made somebody happy, and it's not even my money I'm giving them. I'm giving them money that was minted in Japan by the Sony Corporation. It's a pretty good deal."

Try out these tips to better manage your commercial insurance expenses.
As a business owner, you know how important it is to have the right commercial coverages in place. However, if you are not careful, then securing comprehensive coverage for your business can become very expensive very quickly. Luckily, there are steps that you can take to keep these costs down. Here are some of the suggestions you should try to manage your insurance expenses.
Securing different coverages from multiple insurers is an expensive and inefficient way to manage your business's insurance. Rather than having policies from many different insurance providers, you should secure as many coverages as possible from a single insurer. This way, you can bundle your policies together and unlock special discounted coverage. Additionally, when all your insurance is in one place, your coverage will be easier to keep track of and manage.
A deductible is the amount of money you agree to pay towards a claim before your insurance coverage kick in. It's important to understand that your deductibles and your premium have an inverse relationship. This means that the higher the deductible you assume, the lower your premiums will be. If you would like to save, then raise your deductibles as high as you can comfortably afford to pay. This way to can lower your premiums while still ensuring that you can access your insurance coverage when you need it the most.
Try out these suggestions to help you keep your commercial coverage costs under control. Do you need assistance with your business insurance? Then contact the experts at Udell Family Insurance today.

Selingan Island, along with two others in the archipelago, is a turtle reserve. The Malaysian and Philippine navies cooperate to enforce it. The other islands in the archipelago belong to the Philippines.
The only island on which tourists can stay is Selingan, aka Turtle Island. Tourist places are limited to 60 a night. The place is wholly owned and managed by Crystal Quest, which accordingly charges monopoly prices. I rang Crystal Quest only to be told that they were booked up until the end of October, the end of the peak breeding season, and also for much of next year. But many of the places have been block-booked by travel agencies. The first agency I tried said that they had no spaces all month; but after a phone call they said that there was a space on the 15th. This was exactly the night I wanted; an immense stroke of luck.
It is nearly an hour by fast boat from Sandakan. The boat is powered by twin 200hp engines which throw up huge sprays. They retail for 48,000 ringgit each in Sandakan - about £8,000. There are ten of us: two Brits from Wilmslow, and seven others speaking a barbarous Gothic derivate. We arrive in time for lunch and have the afternoon free before the turtles arrive.
The beach is cratered like the DMZ in Vietnam. But a pair of bilaterally symmetrical tracks leads to and from each crater.
Some of the tracks lead for 100 metres. Each crater is an egg pit.
I hang in a hammock for a couple of hours immersed in another Patrick O'Brian, happily found in KL. The island is crawling with monitors. When you are motionless they don't see you, and several wander on to my little patch of grass.
There three species of monitor in Sabah and 61 in all, all of the genus Varanus. The largest is V. komodoensis, the Komodo dragon. The second-largest is the water monitor, V. salvator, which is the most common in Sabah. The other two species in Sabah are Dumeril's monitor and the rough-neck monitor.
They have narrow heads like snakes, and they flick forked purple tongues in a serpentine manner, and like snakes they swallow their prey whole. They have long tails: a four-foot monitor is about half tail, and is probably a juvenile. The juveniles often have a pattern of light yellow spots, like a leopard in negative. Water monitors can grow up to over two metres and weigh 25kg, and we saw some large ones in Melaka. Like smaller lizards (other than geckos) they possess elongated phalanges, and long claws for climbing the trees in which they spend most of their time. Between tip and tail hangs a proud belly, bulging like a half-inflated balloon. Their front legs rotate with elbows high, like tortoises', and their hind legs rotate around the hips like those of a just-walking toddler.
According to the Qlders on the Imaginative tour to Singapore, the instinctive response of a frightened monitor is to climb the nearest tree; failing that, the nearest vertical human will do. That would smart.
Afterwards I went for a snorkel in the shallow water above a reef. There was very little clearance and I had to float as if spatchcocked to avoid the coral.
From 6.30 we were imprisoned inside the restaurant. The turtles arrive at any time after sunset, when it is cooler and safer. The green turtles favour Selingan; the smaller hawksbills neighbouring Gulisan. Four rangers patrol the beaches, radioing in each landed turtle. They work all night and live a nocturnal life.
At 7.30 we are briefed upstairs. It's staggeringly hot and I'm not well, so I leave rather than measure my length on the floor like a guardsman.
We are split into two groups and once one of the turtles has dug her cavity in the sand and begun laying, we are summoned by the words 'turtle time' and told to hurry. As we hurry by the light of the full moon, a couple of us nearly trip over a large metallic nodule: another turtle. We are required to stand in an arc behind the chosen turtle, to avoid disturbing her, although she seems to be in something of a trance anyway. A single torch is shone straight at her ovipositor.
After five minutes she starts thrashing her hind legs, covering up the pit. Unknown to her – she's like a truck without wingmirrors - a ranger has taken all 89 eggs and put them in a bucket to be transferred to the hatchery.
Without flash, in the dark and with a moving target, it is impossible to take a usable photo. Another time I would not bother trying – it detracts from the moment – but I am enjoying playing with my new camera.
Green turtles usually lay in batches of 50 to 80, although 150 is not unknown. (In all, 29 turtles were to lay 2,045 eggs that night.) The eggs are fairly large, and flexible, not apt to shatter. The turtles expel 5 or 6 at a time, at which point the ranger collects. She will lay four or five times each season before heading back to the feeding grounds.
After she has finished laying they measure her length and width across the dome: about a metre each way. Green turtles are surprisingly large, and adults usually weigh 130 to 150 kg. They may begin to breed at eight years in captivity, but in the wild it is more probably 25 or 30 years before they start. She is tagged if not previously pierced.
Then we follow the ranger to the hatchery. Here all the eggs laid on Selingan are collected and protected. A pit has already been laid, around 70 cm deep. The ranger takes the eggs, puts them in, inserts a protective mesh and covers the pit with sand. (There is nothing the monitors and eagles would like more than a few turtle eggs.) He labels a stick with the date and number of eggs, and the ID number of the mother. The hatchlings will leave their shells in 50 to 60 days. A couple of nights after, they will swim upwards through the sand.
Like crocodiles, their sex is not determined by sex chromosomes. If left uncovered, the pits produce mostly female hatchlings. If covered, and therefore cooler, they will produce males. A difference of 5 degrees C is enough to swing the balance.
Then we go to another pit where the hatchlings have surfaced. A ranger puts them in a bucket – each is tiny, perhaps three inches long - and we follow him to the beach. Hatchlings will head towards the brightest object they can see – usually the sea. So we are instructed to extinguish torches – redundant anyway in the lunar glow – and about three-quarters of them head in the right direction, wiggling their tiny limbs furiously like hilarious clockwork toys or Duracell bunnies. The rest we pick up and turn round and eventually all make it.
About 1-2% will survive to maturity and they will probably return here to breed. They have magnetic crystals in their heads which allows them to navigate and also to recognise locations by virtue of the magnetic variations on the ocean floor.

In just 18 days, my boyfriend and I will be celebrating our 2nd anniversary. Don't stop reading just because it's not about photography! For the past few months I have been honoring artists in my life because I think we all need to support each other more. Though he isn't really an artist in any traditional sense, he is the most talented and imaginative person I have ever met in my life. I have never known anyone who is their own mechanic, plumber, electrician, driving instructor, manager (this is what he gets paid for), designer, creator, tailor and so much more all rolled into one. But the most important characteristic is that he's just so good. He's one of those people that you just feel great around. He makes me laugh constantly! He is intuitive, sensitive, aware, trusting, open, forgiving, generous, easy-going, warm, tender, and so much more. I have definitely noticed changes in myself since meeting him. He makes me want to be a better person. I feel calm around him. Cuddling until his arm is numb is my absolute favorite way to spend time together.
This man puts his all into everything. His patience seems endless, and even when he's irritated, he's never nasty or cruel. His work ethic rivals no other. Truly. I have never seen a more dedicated person in my life.
He encourages me in all things. He is honest. He doesn't just tell me what he thinks I might want to hear. He respects my opinions and values them. He is there for me when I'm crying and whiny (not my favorite moments, but if you know me, you know I have serious back and hip stuff going on). He massages me if he's exhausted, and when it's not fun for him, as each tiny bit of pressure makes me wince or cry out. He makes fun of my pickle habit and thinks they're disgusting, but buys them for me so I can have them at his house. He takes on extra work so I don't have to be outside and get bitten up (I seem to have developed a terrible reaction to mosquito bites). He explains anything I don't understand until I do, never becoming frustrated. He hunts for little surprises and brings me all sorts of crazy things and watches as I smile hard and clap excitedly. He accepts me. He accepts my body. He values my intelligence and is never threatened by it. He is SUPER cheesy and makes up the most insane stuff on the phone when it's time to say goodnight (currently it's Adventures of Pickle, Hot Dog, and Donut - don't ask). He's playful. Press here, press there, who knows what sound will emerge? I think you can tell by now that this could easily become the longest blog in history, and that I love this guy more than a little bit. I definitely love him more than a pinch, dash, or smidgen (private joke for him).
I can't imagine what I've done to deserve this incredible human and love in my life. He is not perfect, I am not perfect, and neither is our relationship. Perfection doesn't exist. But I want us to strive for our very best every day, and that is my promise to him. I am SO excited to celebrate and to finally give him his special gifts (I started planning/creating in May, so I'm about ready to explode).
This is my Adam, and I love him so. Happy almost 2nd anniversary to us!

Le Citigroup center est un gratte-ciel situé dans l'arrondissement de Manhattan, à New York. Il se trouve au 601 de la Lexington Avenue entre la  et la , dans le quartier de Midtown. Le Citigroup Center fait partie des immeubles les plus élevés de la ville, avec une hauteur de 279 mètres pour 59 étages, et est en outre l'un des buildings les plus reconnaissables de la ville, avec son toit incliné à 45°, et sa couleur blanche tranchée par le bleu de ses fenêtres. La surface totale de bureaux du bâtiment est de 120 000 m², occupés en majorité par le Citigroup, qui avait commandé le bâtiment.

Historique
Le Citigroup Center a été conçu par l'architecte américain Hugh Stubbins Jr et le cabinet d'architectes Edward Larrabee Barnes Associates avec la coopération de Emery Roth & Sons. La construction a débuté en 1974 et s'est achevée en 1977, pour un coût total de 195 millions de dollars. Les matériaux principaux utilisés dans la construction sont l'aluminium, le béton, le verre et l'acier.

Le site sur lequel le bâtiment a été construit abritait une église, la St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church (église luthérienne évangélique de Saint Pierre), construite en 1862, et qui fut déplacée plus haut sur Lexington Avenue, au niveau de la  en 1905.

Un chantier compliqué

Un problème de terrain

La construction du Citigroup Center s'est vite révélée être un défi architectural. Lorsque les premiers plans du bâtiment furent présentés, au début des années 1970, le coin nord-ouest du futur bâtiment était encore occupé par l'église luthérienne Saint Pierre. L'église autorisa alors la construction du bâtiment sous réserve de certaines conditions ; une nouvelle église devrait être construite dans le même coin, sans que cette dernière ne touche le gratte-ciel, et sans qu'aucune colonne ne passe à travers elle. Les architectes se demandèrent alors si la construction serait possible avec de telles conditions.

L'ingénieur William LeMessurier trouva alors la solution. Il décida de construire le bâtiment de 59 étages sur une colonne centrale massive octogonale, et sur quatre colonnes massives (35 mètres), qui seraient positionnées au milieu de chaque côté de la base, et non aux quatre coins, ce qui permettrait de garder un espace pour la construction de l'église grâce à un porte-à-faux de 22 mètres au niveau du coin nord-ouest.

Une négligence dans la construction

Le bâtiment fut ainsi construit selon les plans de LeMessurier, mais en 1978, les architectes se rendirent compte que les changements dans les plans de construction de l'immeuble l'avaient rendu dangereux et peu stable ; LeMessurier comprit en effet, grâce à une question d'une étudiante que le bâtiment présentait un défaut qui pourrait se révéler fatal : les boulons utilisés dans l'assemblage de la structure ne pouvaient pas supporter des rafales de vent dépassant 115 km/h à certains endroits. L'erreur provenait de remaniement dans les plans, car les plans originaux de LeMessurier prévoyaient d'utiliser des joints métalliques soudés dans sa structure, plus solides, mais dans une optique d'économie de travail et d'argent, les joints métalliques soudés furent remplacés par des joints métalliques boulonnés dans les plans finaux.

Pendant une durée de trois mois, l'équipe engagée par la Citicorp devait souder des plaques d'acier de cinq centimètres d'épaisseur sur chacun des 200 joints métalliques de l'immeuble. Ce travail se faisait de nuit, à l'insu du grand public. Mais au bout de six semaines, les autorités annoncèrent que l'ouragan "Ella" qui venait de quitter Cap Hatteras se dirigeait vers New York. Avec une seule moitié de l'opération de renforcement du bâtiment réalisée, et des autorités qui n'étaient pas prévenues, un plan d'évacuation n'était pas envisageable ; mais par chance, "Ella" vira vers l'est, en direction de la mer, offrant assez de temps aux soudeurs pour régler le problème.

Bien qu'aucun incident n'ait eu lieu, cette « crise » fut gardée secrète pendant près de vingt ans, et le comportement responsable de LeMessurier, qui prévint la Citicorp en dépit des risques que cela présentait pour sa carrière est aujourd'hui étudié comme modèle de comportement éthique.

Avec les réparations qui ont été effectuées sur le bâtiment, le Citigroup Center est aujourd'hui considéré comme l'un des gratte-ciel les plus sûrs au monde dans sa conception.

Autres caractéristiques

 Afin de stabiliser le bâtiment, le Citigroup Center est muni à son sommet d'un amortisseur de vibrations. Ce dernier se présente sous la forme d'un bloc de béton de 350 tonnes. L'objectif de ce système est de réduire les effets du vent qui tendent à faire vaciller l'immeuble ; le bloc de béton, placé sur une couche d'huile se déplace légèrement, et transforme l'énergie cinétique en friction. Ce procédé permet de réduire les effets du vent sur le bâtiment de 50 %.

 Le Citigroup Center est pourvu d'ascenseurs à double étage, ce qui permet de desservir à la fois les étages pairs et impairs, tout en offrant un volume de passagers supérieur.

 Avec une hauteur de 279 mètres, le Citigroup Center constitue l'un des quinze plus hauts immeubles de New York. En 2006, l'immeuble était même le cinquième plus haut de la ville.

"Amazon Wastelands: An Environmentalist's Perspective on Land and Human Rights"
February 2005: 73-year-old American nun Dorothy Stang is murdered in Anapu, Para, Brazil for defending smallfarmers against loggers and landgrabbers. Drug smuggling, arms trading, slavery, illegal logging and wild cat mining are rampant in the area. The government sends in troops in a vain attempt to keep the peace. Meanwhile, agribusiness, cattle ranching, and a planned hydroelectric dam threaten public and indigenous lands.
October 2005: the upper Amazon is in the grip of a fierce drought. River levels continue to fall. Fish are dying and river communities are isolated.
Is there hope for the future of the Amazon?
Binka Le Breton, Iracambi Research Center, Minas Gerais, Brazil, traveled the TransAmazon Highway to find out. She discovered murder, mayhem and wholesale destruction. She also saw signs of what could be a positive future.
This Land Tenure Center Seminar is co-hosted by Global Studies and Latin American, Caribbean and Iberian Studies.
Join us for refreshments following the seminar.


In all the chatter over Hurricane Irene (which, thankfully, left everyone I know as well as myself more or less unscathed), a hurricane of its own tore through the public relations world on Friday: VMS (Video Monitoring Services of America, LP) has closed its doors.
For those of you who may be unfamiliar with it, VMS was the dominant video monitoring service for years. And I mean years.
I don't know if this can be called a hurricane, though, since it seems to have come about with very little warning. Maybe a hurricane waiting to happen?
The VMS Board with the input of qualified professionals have elected to close VMS.
Unfortunately almost all VMS personnel have been terminated effective today.
The decision has been made after exhaustively evaluating many different options and with sadness for our loyal staff and customers.
At some point in the very near future a Trustee will be appointed to liquidate VMS. We anticipate the trustee will make future communications with customers.
VMS thanks all customers for their loyal support.
PounceNow equates VMS to Blockbuster in the wake of Netflix' ascendant star. And it's true, once Critical Mention came on the market, its real-time alerts, aggressive sales staff and affordable pricing did make it more attractive, even to solo practitioners like me.
But did I think VMS would close its doors altogether? No, that I didn't see coming.
What happens now to its 200+ employees, some of whom are absolutely stellar, is anyone's guess. And I imagine this leaves other firms offering comprehensive monitoring services in partnership with VMS, such as BurrellesLuce (disclosure: former client), in a bit of a bind.
But this I do know; if this isn't a sign of the times – where the ability to adapt is critical to survival – nothing is.
And to all my friends who have had their careers yanked so rudely from under their feet; I am thinking especially good thoughts for you and hope you emerge from this hurricane relatively unscathed as well.

On demand remote manufacturing in space: risks, opportunities, and solutions.
MARSHA by AI SpaceFactory: a proposal for a habitat on the surface of Mars built autonomously using local and mission-generated materials.
A shift towards space manufacturing seems inevitable, but innovative security solutions must be developed to protect this emerging industry.
Co-authored by Anisha Singh, DEFEND3D Chief Product Officer, and Jack Cooper, ISST Communications and Policy Outreach Officer.
According to the European Space Agency, the world is in the early stages of the Space 4.0 era: "a time when space is evolving from being the preserve of the governments of a few spacefaring nations to a situation in which there is the increased number of diverse space actors around the world, including the emergence of private companies, participation with academia, industry and citizens, digitalisation, and global interaction."
Of the above, digitalisation is perhaps the least obvious component of a diversifying space sector, but it may end up being the most important. Automated and additive manufacturing is one area of the space sector that digitalisation is transforming.
Transporting manufactured products into space is prohibitively expensive and time-consuming, and the additional mass required to stockpile products is inconvenient. With more than 13,000kg of hardware spares and replacement units aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and another 17,000kg on the ground, it is clear the ISS and other remote installations would greatly benefit from creating products on-demand with additive manufacturing techniques.
When parts and tools break at a remote installation, not only would it be far more efficient to print on-demand, but it would make that remote installation more resilient; ensuring repair is always possible and reducing dependency on Earth. Unwanted products can also be recycled and repurposed into high-quality 3D printer filaments, further reducing dependency on Earth for raw materials.
The ultimate goal of an off-planet remote installation would be self-sufficiency, and NASA's Redwire Regolith project has taken promising steps towards this by producing 3D printed structures with regolith, inorganic material readily available on the surface of other planets and moons.
There are other benefits to additive manufacturing in space: it can take advantage of micro-gravity to create stronger and more efficient materials than those on Earth, and new structures of nearly limitless size and intricacy which under normal circumstances could not be manufactured on Earth or launched to space due to structural stress.
With such advantages, it seems inevitable that there will be a shift towards space manufacturing; resulting in new designs and functionalities for satellites, habitats, and other products that will be essential for a more mature space ecosystem.
Greg Autry, American space policy expert and visiting professor at Imperial College London's Institute for Security Science and Technology, recently led a NASA panel reviewing business cases for manufacturing proposals on the ISS under the InSPA program, drawing from his experience serving on the NASA Agency Review Team for the 2016 Presidential Administration and as the White House Liaison at NASA in 2017.
Autry notes that 3D printing is already happening regularly on the ISS and that many firms are preparing for the launch of new systems that depend on 3D printing to produce high value mechanical and biomedical products. Furthermore, Low Earth Orbit is about to be populated with commercial space stations from several companies, with NASA backing three of those.
But with such a shift, it is likely that data traveling through space will become the next priority target for cybercriminals and other hostile agents.
"I'm confident that the launch of commercial space stations will result in an explosion of in space manufacturing based on additive manufacturing. Malicious misuse of those systems could represent a threat to the business and possibly the facilities." - Greg Autry
Manufacturers are particularly susceptible to large-scale cyber attacks because of the nature of their products and processes. There's no limit to how much damage a manufacturer could suffer if sensitive client information or intellectual property is infiltrated.
Not only could intellectual property be at risk, but digital files could be manipulated, and 3D printed objects produced with flaws that threaten the functionality and resilience of remote installations.
Malicious manipulation of the digital file may not be obvious to the eye and could impact product integrity or simply cause components to fail prematurely, the consequences of which would be catastrophic for remote installations in hostile environments. Security measures need to pre-empt these challenges if the additive manufacturing is to reach its full potential in the space sector.
The standard approach to additive manufacturing is to transfer the entire digital file to the manufacturing device, making the digital intellectual property vulnerable to cyberattacks, manipulation, and even theft. Various solutions have been proposed to try and solve the issue of intellectual property exposure, including blockchain, encryption, and licensing business models. However, these solutions still require that the entire digital file is transferred and therefore does not resolve the risk of manipulation.
DEFEND3D's solution is a patented secure transmission service for remote 3D printing that streams the digital file rather than transferring it. End-to-end encryption allows organisations to store their designs locally on their home server while parts are manufactured in remote locations. By keeping all digital files internal and removing the need for transfer to clients and manufacturers, DEFEND3D's Secure Streaming Transfer Protocol ensures complete retention of intellectual property, preventing manipulation of files.
The technology is embedded in the Virtual Inventory Communication Interface (VICI), a database application for the management and storage of digital asset files. VICI provides a server application that manages the virtual inventory, assigns rights to remote manufacturers, and provides the product in a 'one-click-print' format that ensures a low training burden for the end-user.
The streaming of 3D printing digital files also solves the inherent problem of securely transmitting data to remote locations: poor connectivity. Data transmission from a fixed terrestrial point can be bounced between multiple satellites, providing those satellites have line of sight of one another, and ultimately bounce the data stream to a remote manufacturing device. This is an issue for manufacturing off-planet.
In the case of the lunar surface, direct bouncing of data streams via line-of-sight techniques would not be possible when the point of manufacture on the lunar surface rotates out of view of orbital installations. The lunar surface is a natural location for initial forays into extra-terrestrial manufacturing, given its relatively short distance from Earth, and such data management issues should be a priority.
Where a continuous stream of data cannot be guaranteed, the DEFEND3D Secure Streaming Transfer Protocol has the ability to keep the remote manufacturing device in continuous operation during breaks in connectivity. The protocol can also operate at streaming rates as low as 3kb per second, essential for secure and steady data management over long distances and low bandwidth, as is the case for space manufacturing.
World-leading academics at Imperial College London are working to provide solutions for international security, safety, resilience, automation, systems engineering, and defence challenges. DEFEND3D's engagement with Imperial College London's Institute for Security Science and Technology (ISST) and Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering therefore presents an opportunity to be at the forefront of response to global challenges through innovation.
Professor Washington Yotto Ochieng, Head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chair Professor in Positioning and Navigation Systems, and ISST's Senior Security Science Fellow, is excited by the opportunity to collaborate with DEFEND3D.
"The uniqueness of DEFEND3D offering a secure streaming transfer protocol coupled with the ISST's expertise in security and resilience would offer protection across the entire value chain, with a significant practical impact on securing the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering's discoveries in automation, systems engineering and infrastructure resilience" - Professor Washington Yotto Ochieng
DEFEND3D's enabling technology provides the underpinnings of secure remote manufacture in extra-terrestrial settings. It will allow for rapid design prototyping, iteration, and testing on the ISS, whilst providing essential cyber resilience for the storage, transmission and execution of 3D printing data: keeping risk to a minimum.
"As we move closer into low earth orbit and interplanetary manufacturing it is critical for security to play a significant role in both additive and subtractive manufacturing. We need to build the infrastructure to enable the democratisation of innovation within the space sector." – Barrett Veldsman, DEFEND3D Founder

Dementia was mentioned twice today in Prime Minister's Questions.
There was a 'big announcement' today from the Alzheimer's Society which could have been used to convey the meaning of how people living with dementia could be encouraged to live well in productive lives.
As part of this publicity, Terry Pratchett was pictured holding up a placade saying, "It's possible to live well with dementia and write bestsellers "like what I do"".
Paul Burstow MP brought up the first question specifically around this initiative.
The answer fails spectacularly to address the issue of living well with dementia, but is a brilliant marketing shill for 'Dementia Friends'.
There's no attempt to include any other charity working in dementia.
It doesn't mention the C word either – Carers.
And then it was left up to Hazel Blears MP to provide another question on dementia.
This time it's a bit different.
There's no answer on how zero hours contracts cannot specifically in the care system promote living well for either carers (including unpaid careworkers) or persons with dementia.
But it's exactly the same otherwise.
A brilliant marketing shill for Dementia Friends, and no mention of any other charity working on dementia.
Quite incredibly here, Cameron produces an answer on 'caring' in dementia without mentioning carers or careworkers.
With Ed Miliband, Ed Miliband and David Cameron all wearing their 'Dementia Friends' badges, is it any wonder you never hear about Dementia UK's Admiral Nurses any more?
There is undoubtedly a rôle for all players in a plural vibrant community, but this should never have been allowed to become an 'either'/'or' situation.
which causes grave concerns ,for the "service users",as to "who will be coming next time", "will they understand,my needs" and "will I get on with them",all serious concerns,for vulnerable people and constant changes in care personal, make errors of care ,inevitable.
"Personal Care" is a traumatic experience,at the best of times and,the adverse affects of "ZHC's make them "UNFIT FOR PURPOSE".The Government MUST put compassion before politics ,on this occasion and "Withdraw It From Use,in Social Care"!


Many individuals like to reenact medieval events and times, those of pre-17th-century European history.
Often medieval reenactors develop a new persona, including an alternative name, while attending events and develop period skills such as sword fighting, archery, calligraphy, and cooking.
Medieval reenactment is a fun activity and the enjoyment can be conveyed to a funeral while still celebrating the deceased in a respectful manner.
Planning a funeral or memorial service for someone who was active in medieval reenactment groups can be somewhat challenging because it brings together two worlds: the fantasy world of medieval reenactment and the real world of the present.
Imagine the deceased coworkers meeting the deceased medieval friends dressed in their finest medieval garb. However, if the deceased loved medieval reenactment then friends and family should welcome a medieval themed funeral.
As with most funerals, the first decision to be made is if the deceased will be buried or cremated and if the body will be embalmed. In general, embalming is not a legal requirement if the body is interred, cremated, or refrigerated within 24 hours of death but the requirements are different in each country (Australia, for example, requires full embalming for above ground mausoleum crypt internment).
For those concerned if embalming is appropriate for the medieval period, rest assured that rudimentary embalming practices were practiced in Europe after about A.D. 1500; however, embalming was relatively rare and was primarily for the purposes of studying human anatomy. In today's era, the embalming of a body is primarily for the purposes of a viewing during, or prior to, a funeral.
Once the basic decisions about the final disposition of the deceased have been made, the funeral event becomes the focus of the planning. First, a location must be chosen. The mortuary chapel or a rustic church is a practical choice as each of these venues are accustomed to hosting funeral services and can they accommodate the medieval theme. Other locations can be considered such as a graveside service or a favorite location of a medieval reenactment event.
Music choices should also compliment the medieval theme. Celtic music is a good choice as it is easy to find in the modern world and can showcase either a somber or a rowdy mood. Bagpipes are also a good choice, especially if the deceased has served in the military, police, or fire departments. Another option may be for fellow medieval reenactors to perform a bardic tribute to the deceased.
During medieval times, funeral sermons usually focused on the person in his or her role in society, not as an individual. In today's modern world this approach is seen as cold and unwelcome and a more personal eulogy is generally preferred. This is a great opportunity to bring the two worlds of the deceased together and ensure a full picture of the deceased is presented.
When deciding who should speak at the funeral strive to include people from different aspects of the deceased life; for example, in addition to close friends and family members, ask a coworker or a boss, friends from medieval reenactment, religious associates, acquaintances from a book club, or members from a sports team to speak. Even if the speeches they offer are small tidbits of information they will greatly add to the portrayal and celebration of a whole person.
Flowers and other decorations to display during the funeral are a very personal choice. Certainly those items and awards that the deceased made and earned within the medieval reenactment world should be on display during the funeral service. Unless the deceased had requested specific favored flowers, flowers common to the medieval period include roses, daisies, foxgloves, irises, lilies, peonies, and violets.
After the funeral service the deceased may be taken to the cemetery. The burial ceremony at the gravesite can be attended by only by family or an invitation can be extended to everyone who attends the funeral.
If a reception or other special event is planned after the burial, ensure that all who attended the funeral are invited and know the date/time and location of the event.
A medieval themed banquet or reception can be planned following the funeral and burial. Food is a common and very important aspect of medieval reenactment and great pleasure and effort is taken to ensure that foods that were not in general use in Western Europe before 1600 are not used. This list of "prohibited" foods include tomatoes, potatoes, capsicum peppers (chili pepper family), pecans and chocolate. This restrictive list may present a challenge to the average caterer or home chef so a medieval potluck feast may be an appropriate solution. Those unaccustomed to cooking medieval foods may bring simple dishes such as cheese, bread, grapes, wine, or olives while those highly accomplished medieval chefs can focus on the more difficult dishes. It is always a good idea to precoordinate with some of these expert chefs to ensure that they are willing to perform the difficult cooking tasks.
Another way to celebrate the deceased is to hold a special memorial tournament. This event can be hosted by the deceased's medieval reenactment group and could be archery, fighting or other similar skilled challenge event.

Article about extreme lifestyle-minimalists
Mark Frauenfelder 11:01 am Mon Aug 16, 2010
Kelly Sutton is a 22-year-old software engineer in Brookyln. He says he has gotten rid of all of his possessions, save for "his laptop, an iPad, an Amazon Kindle, two external hard drives, a 'few' articles of clothing, and bed sheets for a mattress that was left in his newly rented apartment." He has a some other items that he is unloading on his website, Cult of Less.
Matthew Danzico of the BBC has an article about Sutton and other extreme lifestyle minimalists who use digital technology to reduce their ownership of physical goods.
This 21st-Century minimalist says he got rid of much of his clutter because he felt the ever-increasing number of available digital goods have provided adequate replacements for his former physical possessions.
"I think cutting down on physical commodities in general might be a trend of my generation – cutting down on physical commodities that can be replaced by digital counterparts will be a fact," said Mr Sutton.
Mr Sutton sold or gave away most of his assets, apart from his iPad, Kindle, laptop and a few other items
The tech-savvy Los Angeles "transplant" credits his external hard drives and online services like iTunes, Hulu, Flickr, Facebook, Skype and Google Maps for allowing him to lead a minimalist life.

NJPW News: NJPW WK will air on Fite TV app, changes to NJPW on AXS TV announcing, Radican on Eggshells podcast, Excalibur set to announce final days of World Tag League (w/Radican's Analysis)
-Fite.tv has announced they will air NJPW's Wrestle Kingdom on Jan. 4 in HD. The show is available for $34.99 through the Fite.tv app.
Radican's Analysis: This is a great choice for casual viewers that just want to see the biggest NJPW show of the year. The show will have commentary in English with Kevin Kelly, Don Callis, and Chris Charlton. The show will also be available with a Japanese feed as well, so with one purchase you can choose either language feed.
It would be beneficial for NJPW to get an app on Roku and apple for NJPW World. NJPW World is a much cheaper option when it comes to watching Wrestle Kingdom, as the monthly rate for NJPW World is usually around nine or ten dollars. NJPW World does have an app on Amazon Fire Stick, but it's not as functional as most apps are on Roku.
I reached out to some people familiar with NJPW's line of thinking when it came to expanded their availability on Roku and was told it came down to the cost of launching an app that made NJPW reluctant in the past to launch a Roku channel.
-AXS TV has announced some changes in their programming going forward. Jim Ross and Josh Barnett have finished up as announcers on AXS. PWTorch has learned that beginning with Wrestle Kingdom in January, AXS will have a quicker turnaround with NJPW programming, as they will use the feed that's on NJPW World and edit it for their broadcasts. Kevin Kelly and a rotating cast of commentators. Don Callis is expected to be on with Kelly for most big shows.
AXS TV will present a two hour version of Wrestle Kingdom on Jan. 4 at 8p.m. EST that is considered "real-time." The two hour edit of the show, which will air live in its entirety starting at 3a.m. EST on NJPW World. The Wrestle Kingdom special on AXS is headlined by IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi and IWGP Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho vs. Tetsuya Naito.
By not having to dub in commentary post-production, most NJPW events will come quicker to AXS TV. The upcoming schedule of NJPW events on AXS TV for 2019 is as follows:
Jan. 4 – Wrestle Kingdom 13 (2 hours)
Jan. 11 – Wrestle Kingdom 13 (2 hours)
Jan. 18 – Wrestle Kingdom 13
Jan. 25 – New Year Dash
Feb. 1 – New Year Dash
Feb. 8 – New Beginning in Sapporo
Feb. 15 – New Beginning in Sapporo
Radican's Analysis: This is a great announcement from AXS. There always seemed to be friction between the AXS announce team and NJPW and now that the English commentary will be uniform between NJPW World and AXS TV, that solves that issue. Jim Ross was good when calling the bigger matches on the U.S. NJPW shows live, but seemed lost a lot of the time when commentating on the undercard.
The change to using the English feed from NJPW World allows people in the U.S. to keep up with the big NJPW events faster than ever. I think this change will benefit both sides in the long run. Kevin Kelly is fantastic on commentary and has been joined by some great commentators other than Don Callis when he isn't available. I've enjoyed Rocky Romero and Chuckie T a great deal in the past. Chris Charlton also does a great job as a translator/commentator.
-Chris Charlton is the author of Eggshells, which looks at every Tokyo Dome main event in Japan. PWTorch columnist Sean Radican joined Chris for his companion podcast series to Eggshells on POST Wrestling looking at Wrestle Kingdom VI. You can listen to that podcast here
-Longtime PWG announcer Excalibur announced he will be heading to Japan to announce the last three days of the World Tag League. Excalibur mentioned on Twitter that it was a dream of his to commentate a NJPW event. Excalibur recently served as one of the announcers of the All In PPV back in September.
It's been a longtime dream of mine to commentate for @njpw1972 @njpwglobal, and I'm super excited to be joining the booth-shaped booth with @realkevinkelly for the last three nights of #njpwwtl.
Thanks to everyone for the support! Unless you don't, then you can go to hell. pic.twitter.com/PBX7okcbs6

Special Collection Opens New Art Building
Oklahoma Baptist University will officially dedicate its refurbished art facility this weekend with a ceremony at the Art Building at the corner of Kickapoo and Midland Streets and a Homecoming art show exhibiting works by current students and renowned works on loan from a private collection.
Visitors to the 11:15 a.m. Saturday ribbon cutting ceremony will have the opportunity to tour the completely reworked building and view the Homecoming show in the facility's new art gallery. Admission to the exhibit is free of charge.
The special artwork exhibit is from the private collection of Dr. and Mrs. Ted Violett of Oklahoma City. Included in the Violetts' collection currently on display in the gallery are works from Leonard Baskin, Bruno Bruni, Alexander Calder, Hal Holoun, Peter Hurd, Robert Motherwell, Curt Walters, and Tomoe Yokoi.
Dr. Violett, a 1952 graduate of OBU, is a retired pathologist and former co-owner of Snoddy & Violett, Inc. He also is a former member of OBU's board of trustees.
The refurbished art facility includes two faculty offices, an art gallery, photography lab, a general classroom, a computer graphics art lab, a weaving and stained glass lab, and a ceramics lab. The art department also uses a facility adjacent to the art building to house drawing and studio art classes.
Funding for the renovation of the art building came from alumni and friends who contributed through the Foundation for the Future campaign for unrestricted purposes.
In addition, several foundations contributed toward overall fine arts renovation projects in Raley Chapel, Dorland Theatre and the Art Building. Those foundations include the Jess L. and Miriam B. Stevens Foundation, the J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation, the Cleo L. Craig Foundation, and the McCasland Foundation. One foundation, the George I. Alden Trust of Worcester, Mass., specifically designated its gift toward the renovation of the art building.

Примітки

Села Більського повіту (Підляське воєводство)


What is the authority for your proposed model of governance and why?
The IAHA recognize the General Rules of the Right to Self-Determination which accrue to all peoples and nations as contained through modern international law as the authority for our proposed governance model. The IAHA also supports the draft Independence Constitution by the 'Aha Hawaʻi ʻŌiwi which has not yet been ratified by the Hawaiian Constituents due to the withholding of funding by OHA and State Legislature.
When was the IAHA founded or began to organize?
The IAHA was founded in 1980 and was formerly the Sovereignty for Hawaiʻi Committee.
What initiated the founding of the IAHA?
The IAHA was founded to initiate the promotion of Hawaiian affairs which were being ignored and not addressed by the political, social, economic, educational, and judicial systems of Hawaiʻi at the time.
What is the goal of the IAHA?
The goal of the IAHA is to advance the Hawaiian affairs in all of its manifestations.
What process is the IAHA utilizing to achieve their goal?
The advancement of Hawaiian affairs can be achieved in many ways such as education, health care, Hawaiian organizations and increasing their political power, and through obtaining greater support for the integrity of the Hawaiian nation in the international arena. The IAHA is supportive of all of these areas of advancement and does not believe in a dichotomy of separation or priority.
What path of governance does the IAHA propose?
The IAHA support both independence as well as federal recognition. We believe in the use of the conjunction "and" as opposed to "or" and see that the use of the wrong conjunction has resulted in the unnecessary division of our people. We believe that we can protect the rights of the Native Hawaiian people recognized by domestic laws of the U.S. and the State of Hawaiʻi without sacrifice to the international rights to self-determination which includes the choice to emerge or reemerge as an independent nation. This means that those rights which the U.S. and State of Hawaiʻi currently recognize for the Native Hawaiian people may continue under an independence model of governance. This is dependent on the decision made by that nation. It also means that Native Hawaiian people may very well have increased rights, such as the management and control over all of the "ceded" or stolen lands held by the U.S. during the period of occupation.
What will your proposed form of government look like?
We support the independence model as designed by the ʻAha Hawaiʻi ʻŌiwi ("AHO"). The model has not been finalized by AHO, but we support the current version of this model. This model consists of two basic structures which make up the Hawaiian National government: the Kumu Hawaiʻi, which is composed of Native Hawaiians, and the second is the General Citizenry which is made up of people of all races who choose to secure their Hawaiian nationality.
What is the criteria for citizenry under the AHO Independence model?
For the Kumu Hawaiʻi house, only native Hawaiians, regardless of blood quantum, are eligible. For the General Citizenry, descendants of Hawaiian Kingdom nationals/subjects and who also meet the naturalization laws of the Hawaiian nation which is a combination of residency in Hawaiʻi as well as a naturalization test. The AHO model does not take a stand on the question of dual citizenship, however we disfavor dual citizenship for questions of Hawaiian Citizenship.
What are the voting criteria under the AHO Independence model?
For Kumu Hawaiʻi, you must be a Native Hawaiian and are subject to the rules to be established by the Kumu Hawaiʻi. For the General Public, you must be a Hawaiian citizen and subject to the specific rules to be established by the government. Voting requirements are to be specific for various purposes such as a plebiscite or election. The IAHA supports the AHO independence model draft and would advocate further refinements to that draft as reflected at www.nhconvention.org.
What are the criteria to run for office under the AHO Independence model?
The Kumu Hawaiʻi would require that the individual be of native Hawaiian ancestry and subject to other rules of the Kumu Hawaiʻi, and for the General Public, there is no ethnic or racial criteria.
What would the education system look like under your model of governance?
If you plan for one year, plant Taro (a food crop harvested in a year).
If you plan for ten years, plant Koa (a large tree used for canoe building).
But if you plan for a hundred years, teach the children.
Education should serve, as a primary purpose, to continue the consciousness of our people as a people. Unless we are able to maintain this continuity of consciousness, we die! Sure, we may become good doctors and lawyers, we may become teachers and business people. But who are we if we don't know who we are? If we have no continuity of consciousness, we become mimics of someone else, borrowers of another's personality shaped by another's history and cosmology.
What would the health system look like under your model of governance?
Health as defined by the World Health Organization is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Its objective is "the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health." So it should be for the Hawaiian nation.
As we deal specifically with the native Hawaiian "race" of people, we have a particular concern. If we strip aside the philosophical, spiritual, intellectual and emotional aspects of the Hawaiian race, then it is the oldest to the youngest individual alive today who has flowing in his or her body the blood of ancestors who populated these islands before our discovery of James Cook. This is the biological definition. We should address the health of the Hawaiian people in the most comprehensive way by recognizing the following four characteristics of our people.
The first characteristic is the continuum of a people. This means that health services for the Hawaiian race must address elements of history and tradition, art forms, literature, and language in order for a people to maintain their health.
The second characteristic is the indivisibility of the Hawaiian people and their traditional territories. In the Hawaiian language, we commonly use the term ʻāina which can mean not only the land but the source of all sustenance of the human person. To separate a people from that sustenance is tantamount to genocide The health of the Hawaiian people cannot be addressed without addressing their continual need for `aina.
The third characteristic of the Hawaiian people is the individual and collective character. People often believe that by addressing the individual, the collective is well taken care of. That is the philosophy of protection behind the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights. To address the health needs of a race, their collective needs must be given just as much attention as their individual needs. Their customs and traditions must be preserved; their religious practices must be honored; their system of social organization must be respected.
The fourth characteristic of Hawaiian race is free will. Oftentimes, people working with Hawaiians do not appreciate this characteristic which is held very preciously by Hawaiians. Oftentimes, health providers attempt to impose their will upon the patients they serve. This can result in a Hawaiian who accepts the medication, listens to all the instructions on how to take it, but goes home and never uses it because it was never his decision to take the medicine. His politeness prevented him from confronting the physician with questions or objections but that politeness certainly did not mean agreement. Only when his spirit is ready to accept good health and he accepts suggestions as his own and believes it is the way to good health, will such a patient conform to treatment.
How will economic self-sufficiency be achieved under your model of governance?
Economic self-sufficiency is secondary to a larger question of an economic model to be pursued by the Hawaiian nation. In this model we must find a way to integrate peace, environmental sanity, cultural & religious values, human rights, and respect for ʻāina. We should seek to achieve not necessarily an ever-increasing gross national product but an ever improving human condition. The approach to the development of Hawaiʻi's economy must begin not from an assessment of the monetary flow between Hawaiʻi and the United States of America, Japan, and other foreign countries; nor the assessment of monetary flow within Hawaiʻi and its people. The place of the human being is central to economics. The study of Hawaiʻi's economy must begin through the eyes of a hungry child. We believe and advocate for a deep culture of OLA. Upon this culture, we should build our economic system. What would be the land base under your proposed model of governance?
Jurisdiction of the Hawaiian Nation would extend to the Hawaiian archipelago as well as the 200 mile economic zone as defined by the Law of the Sea Convention. It would include as well, those lands taken by the United States as a result of the intrusion to Hawaiʻi's self-determination, including Kalama atoll. We would review and negotiate with other countries that now hold what had previously been within the jurisdictional inventory of Hawaiʻi including the Sinkian islands which now make up the Solomons.
What kind of natural resource management systems/strategies would be implemented?
We would maintain initially the current system which the State of Hawaiʻi has adopted, making changes as we make the conversion to our renewed independence.
What have been the outcomes or outputs of the IAHA thus far?
We have provided valuable information and guidance to the movement for Hawaiian independence to the native Hawaiian people, to the general Hawaiʻi public, to the U.S. audience, as well as to the international community. We carried on a campaign beginning in the 1970s of responding to colleges, high schools, organizations throughout Hawaiʻi to speak to various classes on the topic.
We have raised the topic of Hawaiian sovereignty beginning in 1977 in the State Circuit Court where we challenged the jurisdiction of the U.S. court and government over our Hawaiian nationals (State v. Pulawa). We brought the defense of five Hawaiian nationals arrested for interference with governmental operations following Hurricane Iwa on the grounds that Makua belongs to the Hawaiian nation and was stolen by the U.S. in the ceded lands charade of land transfer. These cases and many more were organized and publicized to give the public an understanding and appreciation of the issues of Hawaiian sovereignty.
We initiated general public gatherings including Sovereignty Sunday events, was an active member of "Of Sacred Times and Sacred Places and held live public broadcasts on Hawaiʻi Public Radio at Iolani Palace, University of Hawaiʻi law school, and at the main studio in Honolulu since 1991. We continue to do weekly radio broadcasts entitled Hawaiian Potpourri on radio station KWAI 1080 AM, currently spending 4 hours a week, Saturdays from 4 – 6 p.m. and Sundays from 7 – 9 a.m. in a talk show format. We also broadcast two shows weekly on Television station ʻŌlelo Channel 54 entitled "2nd Glance" normally scheduled Mondays 10:30 a.m. and Thursdays 7:30 p.m. as well as other specials intermittently.
We have published numerous papers on various topics of Hawaiian sovereignty, and have placed such papers on our web site at www.Hawaiianperspectives.org.
We have participated in the international arena by advocating for indigenous peoples rights, using the venue of the World Council of Indigenous Peoples (WCIP) in which Poka Laenui acted as the political spokesperson and vice-president for the WCIP. He has been one of the early architects of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as well as the International Labour Organization (ILO)'s convention on the right of indigenous peoples, ILO Convention 169 in which he acted as the ILO's Indigenous Expert on that convention.
The "outcome" of these various outputs must be measured along with the contribution of many others in the advocacy of Hawaiian sovereignty. Some of the outcomes specific to our organization include the very early discussions of sovereignty, the non-racial aspect of this human right, clarifying how international law and domestic law intersects in this important question, a description of the process of colonization and of decolonization, discerning the difference between mere occupation and of colonization in Hawaiʻi, introduction of the concept of the deep cultures of D.I.E. and O.L.A., and the need for shifting the discussion from "or" to "and" in the choices between integration and independence.
How would your model affect life as we know it today?
Freedom. As an independent nation, Hawaiʻi would have control over our population, and of migration. We would have control over the militarization of Hawaiʻi and the return of massive land areas to Hawaiian management, the clean-up of the super-fund sites including Lualualei, Pu`uloa, and Wahiawa. Should we decide to terminate or reduce U.S. military presence in Hawaiʻi, we would see a dramatic decrease in our population, freeing much of our natural and public utilities for local use. We envision land reform in Hawaiʻi, looking at our islands and ocean through the eyes of Pacific Islands. Island perspectives differ from continental perspectives, seeing island land as an important community resource and not merely as investments. Residents of Hawaiʻi who own land, irrespective of their nationality would not lose their land. Transfer of real property title to non resident, non citizens shall be prohibited. There shall be no transfer of real property to non residents with the exception of citizens who establish residence in Hawai`i within five years from date of transfer.
As an independent nation, we would be in greater control over shipping and foreign trade to and away from Hawaiʻi. We would see many more cruise ships landing into Hawaiʻi because of the elimination of the Jones Act. As an independent nation, we would be in better control over Tourism. We would be able to eliminate the "foreign bubble" which controls too many tour packages in Hawaiʻi and "ice out" the local tourism-dependent trades by locking in all of such tour packages within and among their own associates. We could develop our postal service and begin the printing of our own Hawaiian postage, even to the extent of creating a stamp collection market under the office of the Hawaiian postmaster. We could assess proper tariffs upon all trade with foreign countries to add to the contribution of our national operations.
As an independent nation, we would eliminate the Federal Income Tax, Social Security Tax, and other charges levied by the U.S. government upon its citizenry. The Hawaiian nation would consider the management of such programs funded via such taxes, but those funding decisions would be made locally. We would advocate a turn-about to many of the current foreign affairs programs now being conducted by the USA including programs regarding immigration into Hawaii, use of Hawaii as a drop-off site for the Federal Marshall's program of relocation of criminals from the U.S. Hawaiian taxation would probably continue to exist, but we would be on the pathway of opening new methods of financing our society's programs by looking into our ocean resources and begin the reasonable management and royalty collection over such resources. Our ocean resources within the 200 mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) demarcated by the Law of the Sea Treaty are to be considered as our national "commons", a treasure we should all protect and which benefits we should all share in. This "royalty collection" would be an assessment for all extractions out of this EEZ as a form of return for the taking from our national treasure. We would examine our natural resources found in our former Hawaiian government and crown lands and assess how such resources can be redirected to support of the Hawaiian nation.
Under an independent Hawaiian nation, our organization would encourage a policy of not allowing the non-citizen population to exceed 25%. Not included in this count would be students, tourists, and other transient visitors who remain in Hawaiʻi for less than one year.
In an independent Hawaiʻi, there will be a movement to greater use of the Hawaiian language. Over a generation, we would encourage all government employees to be fluent in both the English and the Hawaiian language. The result will be a greater appreciation for Hawaiian values and will encourage the future of Hawaiian development into the direction of OLA.
As time prevents me from further elaboration on this question, I will forego additional comments, but recommend a paper entitled "The 2035 Edition of the Traveler's Guide to Hawaiʻi" found at our web site www.Hawaiianperspectives.org.
We make no claim to being a government or to holding any special rank or position within the Hawaiian nation. We believe that an educated public is absolutely necessary for the proper and informed exercise of our self-determination.
 The principle of Self-Determination can be found in the charter of the United Nations, G.A. Resolution 66, 1514, and 1541, and the North American Declaration of Independence.
 The IAHA believe there is only one Hawaiian Kingdom constitution followed by numerous amendments. The original constitution was the unwritten constitution of Kamehameha I, pono. Subsequent constitutions were attempts to express pono given the changing circumstances and struggles over time. The most recent laws regarding naturalization to Hawaii, i.e., prior to the 1893 overthrow, are the laws being referred to.
 The underlined provisions are additional recommendations to the draft. Poka Laenui, as chairman of the convention, undertook the drafting of those, additional recommendations which are now subject to further discussion and debate by the members of the convention.
