"It's Being Advised Now—As a result of It's Purported to Be Advised Now": Christopher Kahunahana on Waikiki and Native Hawaiian Storytelling
Greenscreen.blog
Waikiki 1 628x348.jpg
Christopher Kahunahana's long-awaited feature film debut Waikiki is a film with "seventeen days of shooting and more than two years of post-production" and marks a coming of age for the burgeoning Hawaiian film scene. Waikiki, the first completed narrative feature film by a Kanaka Maoli (native Hawaiian) filmmaker, follows a young indigenous woman, Kea (an intriguing Danielle Zalopany), who has multiple jobs – hula dancer for tourists, karaoke hostess for drunks, Hawaiian-speaking teacher for kids – just to hold on, but slowly slip into the darkness. Nightmares of an earlier childhood trauma merge with her journey through Honolulu's shadowy realms, she only comforts the memories of her kupuna (elders) and the visions of a natural world that is part of her and her legacy – so close and yet so far. Indeed, for every urban scene of a claustrophobic bar or ominously empty alley, of abuse, poverty and mental disorders, there is another setting of ʻaina (nature), of the sea or of the rain in the mountains around Honolulu, which follows green cliffs, when it flows into the city before it becomes a trickle in the city's canals and gullies. ("This is also one of the reasons we wrote Waikiki in a" touristy "way," notes Kahunahana, "not the original spelling of Waikīkī or" sparkling water ".)" Er aliʻi ka ʻāina, er kauwa ke kanaka. The land is the chief, the people are their servants, "is the last Hawaiian song of our heroine in the film, her longing to reconnect with the land. She sings it sadly and defiantly in the mountains or at least in the high-rise apartments in front of them.
"Basically, I wanted people to have empathy for people they didn't know," Kahunahana notes. The film pulls back two layers: one of the "aloha ghosts" of tourism associations and hotel bars, in which a beautiful smile masks the crazy chaos of everyday life in one of the most expensive cities in the world, and the other of homelessness, in which madness masks the beauty of one Life that once was and could still be. "You could say that at the core of our being it is political but spiritual," explained producer Connie Florez during the Q&A after the film's screening. "This story is important. It no longer needs to be hidden. "
Kahunahana was kind enough to take some time to prepare for his Hawaiian premiere at the Hawai'i International Film Festival and read the film, its journey and its relationship with Native Hawaiian storytelling and the harsh realities of contemporary Hawaiian & # 39; 39; i to discuss. Some answers have been edited for brevity, while others have included his answers during the post-screening questions and answers.
Filmmakers: Chris, many filmmakers making their feature film debuts gravitate towards simpler genres and stories, but you've settled on a psychological portrait of a woman – and a society – on the fringes. What made you tell this story now?
Kahunahana: I think there are no easy answers or narratives. I've always been fascinated by the shadows, what's behind the pretty smile, the story behind the story. I've never been so interested in the hero trope, I'm more curious about the journey. This story gave me the opportunity to mix genres, experiment with place and sound as a character. The literal translation of the Hawaiian word Makawalu is "eight eyes". This is a major oversimplification, but essentially Makawalu speaks of the need to look at things from at least eight different perspectives. These perspectives are not limited to humans but encompass the concepts of time or even the natural elements of the planet. Our Hawaiian stories and legends don't always fit into a simple A-B-C structure. Two-dimensional villains or heroes or even genders don't really exist in my culture. The personification of place, nature and sound is quite normal in Hawaiian storytelling. It was important to me that the characters in Waikiki stay true to that. For the main character Kea, it was essential for me that the audience could see through / behind / as / despite / in contrast to their eyes. Her flashbacks to traumatic events have been purposely left muddy to portray the memory almost as a form of time travel, noting the relativity of time. The idea of telling this story now was more a decision of my kūpuna (elders) than anything else. It is told now – because it should be told now.
Filmmakers: This story could have fallen into more typical narrative traps, like an advertising film "Frau am Rande" with free sex and violence or alternatively as a kind of festival-suitable "atrocity exhibition" in which a woman has to suffer. However, the end product is far less defined and much more surreal in many respects. How did you stay true to your own vision of the film and why was it important to tell it the way you did?
Kahunahana: What has been difficult for me is that my reality is pretty surreal. The beauty of Hawaii is well known, but its pain and struggle are so unknown that it was surreal to most. Navigating my reality, Hawaii's reality, and the viewer's reality was an unexpected challenge. Film was the right medium to explore these issues because film can bend space and time. In terms of the narrative itself, I knew that the inner conversations the main character has with himself were just as much part of the story as the plot – that the protagonist was also not between what is real in the present and the memory or Psychosis differed. The challenge has always been to balance these seemingly contradicting aspects, much like the main character in the story does.
Filmmakers: With such a long post-production process, you've gone through multiple test screenings with many audiences who all have different ideas and setbacks. On the one hand, there were those who wanted a "more understandable" or "audience-friendly" narrative, but it seems that their own creative vision tended towards a more open, dream-like concept with fewer responses. How did you reconcile the different requirements and voices throughout the post-production process while remaining true to your own?
Kahunahana: Film and art in general are subjective. It was interesting to get feedback from test demonstrations to see what worked for individual viewers. Over the course of post-production and screenings, I realized that people were creating their own stories and connections to the material and images on screen. I loved that about the film and decided to keep as much of that wonder and variance as possible. I feel that the only value you can have as an artist is to give people the opportunity to introduce themselves and create space for dialogue with each other or within themselves.
What you add to the conversations are your individual quirks, differences, flaws, POV. Everything else has already been done. If you're trying to mimic something to make your movie more accessible, you're really trying to make a product. I used this film as a means to learn: to discover what I feel, what affects me, moves me and hopefully others. A tree does a terrible job when it tries to be a stone, or the wind, or the ocean. Their value in the larger scheme of things is that we are all a unique and equal part of the whole.
The film became a real living being that I spoke to on a daily basis, often more than physical people. If I listened, it told me or took me where it wanted, had to. I started to accept that making the film was a journey: I wasn't the leader, I just followed him. Even with regards to the release schedule, I tried several times and years before to get it done, but it wasn't done to me. It made up its mind to finally be born now, which I know I couldn't have written a better script. Fortunately, I've been blessed with producers who really gave me the space and trust in not just finishing.
Filmmakers: Not only are you responding to funders and potential audiences, but you're in the unique position of obviously being the first Native Hawaiian / Kanaka Maoli director to complete a feature film that requires an entirely different set of responsibilities and duties (one, which is 99.9%). you don't even have to think about your fellow filmmakers). How has that affected your approach?
Kahunahana: Film is a means of understanding and fictional narration is my current medium. I'm just one link in a chain of storytellers. I happen to be the first, but it really could have been any of the amazing Kanaka (Native Hawaiian) storytellers. I and all Kanaka are part of a continuum that extends far ahead of us and far after us. My responsibility rests with my kūpuna (elders) and the continuum … They are the ones I answer to.
(Regarding another snack for the movie): For Hawaiians and Native Americans in general, this is how we are connected to the land. The country is so important to us. When we remove Hawaiians from the country, all of these trauma, these intergenerational problems that keep popping up, arise. Even if we try to deal with it in this current context of today's Hawaii, these things are ingrained – anger problems, abuse problems, violence problems that result from the lack of that connection to land and culture. Another aspect is that we need to return to this place where we appreciate the understanding and wisdom of the natives about connecting with nature. Otherwise we will all be confused if we do not take care of this planet. I think we understand this in Hawaii, it's an integral part of our culture, and I wanted to show people that we all have to take care of the land.
Filmmakers: Last year, you and several other members of your team actually stepped out of the post-production process to join the Mauna Kea movement and the associated struggles for the sovereignty of the Hawaiian land, while lending you your imaging and storytelling talents. Did that put a different focus or meaning on what you thought about the film and what you wanted to achieve with it?
Kahunahana: When someone calls you, you have to listen. I wrote the script in 2014 when Kanaka stopped the groundbreaking at the summit and I knew I should be there in whatever capacity I could support it, but I decided to keep writing. That decision was something to deal with, a question inside of me. When the kāhea (a "call" or a call to action) came a second time, I knew in the middle of the mail that I had to go. I was fortunate that one of my producers, Nicole Naone, also had a deep calling to protect Maunakea, and we both decided to live at the Maunakea base and contribute in any way we could. We joined Nā Leo Kakoʻo, the media support team that fought on a daily basis against the lies, racist representations and all the falsehoods that the proponent of the Three Mile Telescope project spoke out against Kiaʻi (protector). These experiences taught me the importance of controlling our own narrative.
Filmmakers: Similarly, the film ends with the lyrics of a mele or chant by Hawaiian composer / scholar Mary Kawena Puku'i, who helped preserve and collect many indigenous songs and chants in the 1960s and 1970s. Why did you choose this piece to close the film?
Kahunahana: Yes, Kea plays "Ke Ao Nani" by Pūkuʻi at the end of the film. This is the mele that young Kea is taught by her grandmother earlier in the film. It is a simple mele that is taught to Keiki or young children and which, like oleo noeʻau, has a lot of kauna or hidden meaning. I didn't choose Ke Ao Nani so much that it turned out to be the right mix for the film. I was looking for something and it came about through one of my dear friends, Dr. Noelani Arista, known it was the right mele and happened to be what the film was thematically about. It was all in sync. Everything has its place on this earth, which is perfectly related to the ʻOlelo noeʻau Kea that teaches her class. "He ali'i ka 'aina, he kauwa ke kanaka. The country is the chief, the people are his servants. "It closes the film because this is Kea's return trip to connect with 'aina or the earth.
Filmmakers: Normally, I wouldn't advise first-time low-budget filmmakers to make a movie that has an actor on screen about 90% of the time, just because the chances are slim you'll get on with what first time will be to have success low budget lead. But your leading actress, Danielle Zalopany, delivers a compelling performance. You ask her a lot in the movie and there is a lot of raw emotion in it. How was your collaboration and how did you create an environment on set where you can go so far and be so emotionally vulnerable?
Kahunahana: Dani is amazing and I feel blessed to be able to work with her. Synchronicity again. You get a feeling that when things line up, things are moving in the right direction. I feel like she was in a place in her life where she needed the movie and Hawaii needed her. Our film community needed Dani, as evidenced by all of the roles she has played since we started filming Waikiki. We missed someone playing a strong but vulnerable wahine (woman). That voice was missing in our films.
The kea role would be a challenge for any actor. I knew from our first screen test that Dani had the strength, focus, and skills for the role. I feared that some of the scenes might trigger deeper unresolved issues and wanted to make sure she felt safe before leading her through the stages of the deteriorating protagonist. I think this helped us build the trust it takes to work together in a director / actor relationship. Your commitment is impressive. She was all in all all along. She came straight from work, shot all night or all day, slept in the van between takes and returned to work. I don't know how she did it.
(On the film's co-star, Peter Shinkoda, who plays a homeless man 🙂 When you sleep on the floor or sleep in a bed, your body begins to look and move differently. Peter slept in my driveway for four nights to adjust his body to the role, and he was such a method actor that he even slept in front of a group of homeless people outside the Iolani Palace for several nights.
Filmmakers: I know that before filmmaking you organized some underground film festivals and opened the prestigious Nextdoor nightclub / art space in Honolulu's Chinatown. What was your inspiration for filmmaking? Were there also certain filmmakers or films that most inspired you to either view film as an art form or to do Waikiki?
Kahunahana: Photography was my gateway drug. Years ago I worked in a black and white photo printing darkroom where I learned from Gene Nitihara, a master printer photographer. My film education really started with the Hawaii International Film Festival. Movies were free back then, so my mom kept me in line for the next movie while she was watching a movie in the theater. As a kid from Waimānalo, the films I saw were like traveling. My opinion and my worldview were forever changed by these moments in the dark theater. Movies like Zhang Yimous Raise the Red Lantern have been life changing experiences for me. Through HIFF, I was introduced to the film museum, where Dwight Damon allowed me to work my way through the entire filmography of a director. The collections curated by cinephilic represented the best of world cinema: Soja Kuba, Pixote, Touki Bouki, Kurosawa, Orson Welles, Fellini. These were my teachers.
When I started Nextdoor in Chinatown, the power in that area hadn't been updated since the 1903 fires. By connecting our sound system, the power supply for the entire block was switched off. The intention has always been to bring life to a city that seemed to be asleep. Sometimes it was through film and art, sometimes through music and alcohol. Learning how to make something out of nothing was enormous for me. Thematically, the Chinatown district influenced Waikiki at the time: a lot of homelessness in the neighborhood, addiction problems, violence.
Filmmakers: Were there other non-cinematic artistic influences on the film?
Kahunahana: While I take note of everything and make an inventory – every conversation, every tone, every shift in light, every whisper, every relationship, etc. – I try to be influenced only by nature. As Hawaiians, we are not on, in, on or even by nature. We are nature. Er aliʻi ka ʻāina, er kauwa ke kanaka – the land is the chief and the people are his servants. I am essentially always trying to sift through the sounds of the current time I am in to return to a space of communication with the important sources – Pohaku, Wai, Kai, Kamakani. Every now and then a person or a work of art slips through the cracks like butoh dance or my grandmother's cooking or a noguchi sculpture, but for the most part I try to listen to nature.
Filmmakers: The film's long post-production process took a number of years, so a lot of patience was also asked of your team and the community around it. How have you maintained momentum and positivity over the months, and what does the support of the local filmmaking community mean to you?
Kahunahana: Many of our crew members and cast have written, directed, produced, premiered, and won awards while living in the lonely darkness of the Post Office. These filmmakers really inspired me to keep going. I am grateful to be a small part of a talented growing film community. All of our sensations are so different that each project solidifies the diversity and depth of our community. It's an exciting time with each film building on each other's success and dynamism. We can expect more feature films from Hawaii in the next few years.

After numerous years of tradition, an atmosphere of legend and mystery enshrouded the [Residence of Heaven's Will].
In the minds of the students it represented an indisputable and unattainable status. Other students groups and clubs could hardly compare. In these past years, even the higher ups of White Deer academy gave it a significant amount of attention.
For every White Deer academy student, to be able of enter the [Residence of Heaven's Will] once, would become a symbol of status.
Today the [Residence of Heaven's Will] was especially active.
The previous year's fourth year students were just graduating and the new fourth year students were about to become the new senior students of the academy. The leaders of the [Residence of Heaven's Will] had also passed on the control of the residence by relinquishing it to the three most exceptional aristocratic students.
The banquet was held namely for this occasion.
The energy formation separated this water garden from the outside world. In the night, it glimmered with a dazzling brightness, making it seem glorious and beautiful.
As a student passed by here and could faintly hear the sounds of dance and music, they could not help but display an expression of admiration and envy.
It was a pity that to enter here, the requirements was too high. Even for a typical person from a small noble family, they did not possess the rights to enter here.
In the same night, Jiang Xiaohan's mood was not bad.
From the first moment on when entering the White Deer academy, one of Jiang Xiaohan's goals was to be able to enter the [Residence of Heaven's Will] and to become a member of this top group.
For this she had sacrificed a lot, being rejected numerous times and mocked.
She hated the fact that she did not come from a noble family, she hated her parents who were only the lowly poor.
She evidently had exceptional talent in the martial path, greatly exceeding a typical noble child. But she had to endure the shame of her background, she had to put in hundreds, thousands of times the normal effort to achieve recognition.
And the reason that she was able to appear in the [Residence of Heaven's Will], was not due to her own efforts and talent making the group recognise her. It was only due to the fact that Han Xiaofei had gifted her tickets to the banquet tonight.
See, this was the laughable reality.
People from a noble family could casually gift tickets that children from a background could never obtain, even if they put in a thousand times the effort.
Within Jiang Xiaohan's heart she felt sorrowful, but she still wore her most beautiful outfit to make herself seem dazzling. On her face, she had her more beautiful and sincere smile, linking arms with Han Xiaofei and appearing in the banquet.
She was able to tell that the instant she appeared, in the banquet numerous eyes of male students brightened.
Those lofty noble female students, none of them could compare with her.
Then, another few people who were familiar with Han Xiaofei came over to socialise.
"Jiang Xiaohan? Eh, I've heard…" The tall noble students seems to have thought of something, frowning.
Jiang Xiaohan could be counted as a significant figure within the fourth year. But due to her family background, she originally did not have the right to appear in the [Residence of Heaven's Will]. Who would have thought that Han Xiaofei would bring her here, disregarding the rules slightly.
But after thinking for a bit, one of the current leaders of the [Residence of Heaven's Will] was Han Xiaofei's cousin, Han Shuangfu. With this connection, he estimated that Han Xiaofei would not be punished or blamed.
In a short while, a considerate amount of people had gathered near Han Xiaofei.
Jiang Xiaohan put out all the stops and very quickly these haughty aristocrats were talking and laughing with her, she rapidly becoming a hit. One could not deny, that this beautiful girl had exceptional charisma and allure.
"I heard that senior brother Xiaofei and junior sister Xiaohan went to the selection grounds today? Did you encounter any interesting things?" Intoxicated by liquor, the tall noble student casually asked.
"Eh? Who is this person, let's hear it." Some people encouraged.
"These kinds of trash without any shred of self-awareness is plenty everywhere. Junior sister Xiaohan you are kind, you did not need to interfere at all." A noble girl with large eyes said.
"Oh, I just could not bear it…" Jiang Xiaohan sighed, displaying a extremely regretful appearance.
"Junior sister Xiaohan's playmate from her childhood? Then does this mean, he is already fourteen or fifteen years old? Haha, in so many years, still not being able to enter the academy, he is definitely garbage…" The noble students loudly laughed.
Before the voice had fully dispersed.
The smiling expression of the tall student and the other nobles had frozen.
After leaving the blood qi appraisal grounds today, to prepare for tonight's banquet she was accompanied by Han Xiaofei to select her outfit for tonight. Therefore the things that happened after, she certainly had no knowledge of.
To be able to enter the [Residence of Heaven's Will] evening banquet for a girl drunk in status like her, was absolutely the most important thing to happen to her after entering White Deer academy. She had diverted her entire attention and immersed herself in enjoyment and joy of being able to attend this event, completely not considering Ye Qingyu's affairs.
And the Han Xiaofei who was accompanying her all along, naturally would also not know what happened afterwards.
But the noble students and the other fourth year students, were extremely clear in what had happened and Ye Qingyu's terrifying performance.
Using only five appraisal, not only entering White Deer academy, but also managing to rank number twenty one in the examination rankings. This kind of person, how did he become the pitiful person Jiang Xiaohan was describing.
Within the entire White Deer city, it was unknown how many people's faces were ferociously slapped until swollen tonight. It was even more unknown, how many people hoped to become a 'pitiful' person like Ye Qingyu!
"Ah, senior brother Han, concerning this Ye Qingyu…do you also feel that he is a pitiful worm?" A noble student with a good relationship called Gao Shenghan, coughed twice to hint at something lest he say something wrong.
These words were said bitingly and clear, bringing with it an undisguised contempt and disdain. It was obviously targeted at Jiang Xiaohan and Han Xiaofei.
What kind of person would dare to be so arrogant in front of him?
He turned his head to look with a face filled with rage, and in the far away light saw a student wearing robes as white as snow walking towards him.
The next instant, the anger on his face disappeared entirely.
The figure walking towards him was an extremely beautiful girl.
With a graceful posture and a slim waist, she had a thick cloud of black hair which set off her white jade like skin even more. What was originally an ordinary student robe, when she wore it, it became like something sacred. She managed to bring out what normal people could not in the robe, and the robe accentuated her long legs.
She came from under the moonlight, as if she was an aloof ice fairy.
At this instant, everyone chattered with excitement. Every student stood and greeted the white robed Bai Yuqing, evidently showing the high status she had within White Deer academy's fourth year student.
Even Han Xiaofei dared not tarry, standing and greeting Bai Yuqing with his hands clasped.
Jiang Xiaohan lowered her head slightly, a hint of anger flashing through her eyes. She knew that this girl was insulting her, but she could not show the slightest trace of dissatisfaction.
This girl called Bai Yuqing, the position and status that she possessed had always been a figure that Jiang Xiaohan admired and envied at the same time.

Non-Stop Harassment from Day One by "Shifty" Schiff, Now Leading Hearing on What Evidence May Be Presented, Who Can Testify
OpinionsPoliticsU.S. News
By Chuck Lehmann	 On Oct 30, 2019
Adam Schiff (sometimes referred to as "Shifty") has been in the forefront of accusing Trump of committing impeachable offenses from the day he was inaugurated. It has been non-stop harassment from day one by Schiff and his fellow feckless Democrats and the biased "fake news" media. File photo: C-SPAN.
DELRAY BEACH, FL – How is it that someone in charge of gathering possible impeachable offenses has already made up his mind about the guilt of the individual under investigation? In this case, the President of the United States. Is he the judge and jury of President Trump? Adam Schiff, you should be ashamed of your conduct in leading this "Kangaroo Court" type hearing in the United States Congress.
Adam Schiff (sometimes referred to as "Shifty") has been in the forefront of accusing President Trump of committing impeachable offenses from the day Trump was inaugurated. It has been non-stop harassment from day one by Adam Schiff and his fellow feckless Democrats and the biased "fake news" media.
First off, they claimed that Trump conspired with the Russians to aid and abet his presidential campaign. Schiff and his cohorts in the FBI and the Justice Department, through some devious methods by using a "fake dossier" that was paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC, pushed for a Special Counsel. A Special Counsel, Robert Mueller, was appointed, by Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, to try to find the "collusion" between Trump and the Russians.
For over 2 ½ years, the Mueller probe delved into the charges of collusion (with 18 prosecutors, who were mostly Democrats, working overtime to find collusion). Finally, after exhaustive probing, the Mueller probe found no collusion or obstruction, much to the dismay of Schiff and the Democrats. They were basing an impeachment charge against Trump on Mueller's Report. What were they going to do now that the Mueller Report found nothing to tie Trump into a Russian conspiracy?
Not to let that exoneration of Trump go by, the feckless Democrats next jumped on an innocuous phone conversation by President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky, to try to claim that Trump offered a "quid pro quo" to Zelensky, which they claim was an impeachable "high crime and misdemeanor". Before even the transcript of the phone conversation was produced, the Democrats and Schiff came up with a so-called "whistle blower" who claimed he had information that was second-hand and gossip. He had no first-hand knowledge of Trump offering Zelensky a "quid pro quo", but they ran with it anyway.
Even though the publication released by Trump, of the transcript of the phone conversation showed no "high crimes or misdemeanors" (words from the Constitution), the Democrats, with the assistance of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, decided to spin that innocuous conversation between Trump and Zelensky into a full-fledged impeachment investigation. By the way, President Zelensky, said that no pressure was put on him by President Trump during that entire phone call.
Speaker Pelosi put Schiff in charge of the spurious impeachment investigation. It was like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. The most anti-Trump congressman in all the House of Representatives was now in charge of gathering impeachment information on his nemesis, President Trump. What could go wrong with that scenario?
Now, the Congress is bogged down in a full blown nonsensical investigation in place of doing the country's business like passing the Mexico/Canada/ U.S. trade agreement, addressing our pressing infrastructure problem etc., by investigating Trump instead legislating for the benefit of the people.
Adam Schiff, a notorious leaker of sensitive information from his perch as chairman of the Intelligence Committee, all through the whole Mueller probe, is still spouting verbosely, nonsense and misinformation, which is only exceeded by his gross stupidity.

Klipsch adds new in-ear headphones to its legendary Reference line
Gentec International, the Canadian distributor of Klipsch speakers and headphones, announces the launch of the Reference R6, R6i, and R6m in-ear headphones.
Incorporating more than 60 years of audio expertise, Klipsch's latest offering delivers acclaimed acoustics coupled with unrivalled comfort. With the introduction of these headphone models, Klipsch takes an important step in streamlining its entire product offering under the Reference name.
The same advanced acoustic engineering and industrial design from the brand's legendary Reference home theatre speakers provide the performance and design for the new R6 models. Constructed from aluminum and elastomer, their sleek construction is lightweight, durable, and comfortable. Additionally, the headphones utilize flat cabling for added strength and tangle resistance.
Equipped with the patented oval ear tips for which Klipsch is known, each model allows for hours of comfortable, long-term wear. Unlike circular-shaped ear tips that put stress on the pressure points inside the ear, Klipsch's patented oval ear tips naturally fit the contours of the ear canal. These ear tips also offer superior noise-isolation (or passive noise-cancellation), blocking out almost all ambient noise and providing excellent bass.
Each model delivers Klipsch's signature sound (high efficiency, low distortion, wide dynamic range) via a 6.5-millimeter dual magnet micro-speaker. This technology provides a broad frequency range and acoustic detail for the most strikingly realistic sound reproduction of music libraries.
Reference R6
Engineered for pure performance, the Reference R6 is available in a black or white finish and is compatible with any device that has a 3.5mm headphone jack. It comes complete with a one-year warranty, carrying case, and four pairs of different-sized oval ear tips for a customized fit. The Reference R6 retails for $99 and are currently available in Canada.
Reference R6i
Catering to in-ear enthusiasts on the go, the Reference R6i offers listeners an advanced three-button remote and mic that allows for seamless control of music and phone calls on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPod models. Also available in a black or white finish, the R6i carries a one-year warranty and includes four pairs of different sized patented ear tips, a protective carrying case, as well as a clothing clip for the in-line remote and mic. The Reference R6i retails for $109 and are currently available in Canada.
Reference R6m
Specifically engineered for mobile devices, the universal Reference R6m gives you a front stage pass to your music collection whether you are an Apple, Android, Windows or BlackBerry user. This is the ultimate hassle-free headphone thanks to a single-button remote and mic. The R6m also plays well with the latest consoles, such as Xbox One and PS4. It comes in a black finish and includes a one-year warranty, four pairs of different sized patented ear tips, a protective carrying case, as well as a clothing clip for the in-line remote and mic. The Reference R6m retails for $109 and are currently available in Canada.

Somalia Snubs Meeting With Somaliland To Discuss Red Sea Dynamics
Somalia has snubbed a meeting called by the international community to discuss its future relationship with Somaliland.
Key in the meeting was a discussion on regional Horn and Red Sea dynamics and the implications of for the Somalia- Somaliland process.
The meeting was recently held in Nairobi. While a delegation from Somaliland led by Foreign Affairs and International cooperation minister Yassin Hagi Mohamoud Hiir 'was in attendance, there was no representation from Somalia who claim Nairobi was not the best venue. There has been frosty relations between Kenya and Somalia in the recent past.
The meeting between the two sides was facilitated by the Center for Humanitarian Dialogue.
Despite the absence of Somalia representatives, the meeting opened on scheduled time and Somaliland presented its case. There was representation from the United States of America, European Union, Sweden, Turkey, IGAD and the United Kingdom.
Somaliland ambassador to Kenya Bashe Omar termed the absence of Somalia as regrettable.
"It is unfortunate and regrettable that the Somalia government opted not to attend this very important meeting," said Bashe.
"It is a clear show of their unwillingness to find a lasting solution to the issues that have been affecting us," Bashe added.
"However, we (Somaliland) remain committed to the dialogue and we will avail ourselves anytime when called upon by our international partners who also have been keen to bring us together."
"Somaliland considers it a matter of great regret, that the FGS has not taken the opportunity to continue our dialogue," he said.
The Chief of Staff of The Office of the President, Federal Republic of Somalia, Dr Nur Dirie Hersi had earlier tweeted his country's position on the meeting.
Dr Hersi in his tweet said: "Somali government representatives will not participate in the expected Consensus Building Meeting in Nairobi. However, we would like to confirm that the government is committed to engage in constructive dialogue with Somaliland when a suitable venue, agenda and participants are agreed."
The talks were to be headed by European Union Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa Alex Rondos.
Somaliland, a self-declared independent state has been recognized by various organizations and countries as an autonomous state. The country separated from Somalia in 1990 at the start of the civil war.

The National Gallery of Iceland was founded in 1884 in Copenhagen Denmark by Bjorn Bjarnason and consisted of donated artwork mainly from Danish artists.
The Museum remained in independent institute until 1916 when Alþingi (The Icelandic Parliament) decided to make it a department in the National Heritage Museum.
In 1987 the collection was moved to its present location. The National Gallery is a national museum. The main emphasis of the collection is on the 19th and 20th century Icelandic art, but international art is featured as well.
The museum owns the most valuable collection of works by Icelandic artists in the country, but also renowned artists such as Pablo Picasso, Edward Munch, Karol Appel, Hans Hartung, Victor Vasarely, Richard Serra and Richard Tuttle.
The National Gallery of Iceland regularly holds colorful exhibitions reflecting its collection. The National Gallery of Iceland also hosts exhibitions by individual artists, Icelandic as well as foreign ones. Extensive publication of books, catalogs, posters and post-cards compliment these.

Description: "Sgt. Night publicly criticizes Dr. Light's views on human & robot unity during a school assembly, invoking the ire of Fire Man and forcing Silicon City's newly minted hero, Mega Man, to intervene."
Description: "Mega Man stops Fire Man by replicating his powers and fighting fire with fire. Unfortunately, Mega Man also learns that he can replicate a robot's mental state as well, and must get his own anger under control to win. Defeated, Fire Man reports back to his secret master, Sgt. Night!"
Hm, while the first clip shares footage with what we saw before, the second is new stuff. Between roughly three minutes here and about three minutes there, we've already seen half the second 11-minute episode!
Also, it seems I misread the accent Sgt. Night sports before -- seems a little more southern, yeah?
Mega Man: Fully Charged debuts on Cartoon Network on Sunday, August 5th at 6:30am EST with the two-part "Throwing Shade," which will also be available alongside eight other episodes (presumably including this one) on the Cartoon Network app.
Thanks to Protodude's Rockman Corner for the tip!


• Whatever TexAus BBQ did with the Pork, it was a huge hit with the judges. They won both Pork and Pork Ribs.
• Team Yoder's score in beef was close to perfect. They scored an amazing 187/200.
• The Meat Sweats placed top 3 in all categories and won Chicken, proving Mitch and the team are an unstoppable force right now.
• There was only 2 points between 3rd and 4th Place in Pork. The Smoke Kings only just missed out on a place.
"Thanks" for posting the results jaybeau.
How was it Beaver, have a good time?
Full credit to fletcher on his first event.
It was a little heartbreaking we couldn't afford to bring up more bbqs and serve more food it was unfortunately logistically impossible for us to do so.
TEAM yoder have a reputation to hold up, bad boys of bbq!
It sounds like everyone had a great time up there, and did us proud! Hopefully more pics to follow!

MEDIA RELEASE UPDATE
A 24-year-old man wanted for stabbing three persons turned himself into police Tuesday (August 8, 2000).
At 1:30 p.m., Hilo Criminal Investigation Section detectives arrested Vincent Higa for attempted murder, reckless endangering and terroristic threatening. Higa was also charged with a parole violation.
Higa allegedly stabbed three persons during a fight late Sunday at a Hawaiian Paradise Park residence in Puna.
Responding to an 11:49 p.m. call, Puna Patrol officers determined that Higa got into a fight with Justin Young, 25, who was stabbed during an argument. Tony Young, 23, Justin's brother, then tried to intervene, but was cut on his back. While attempting to stop the fight, Angela Young, 28, the suspect's girlfriend and the Youngs' sister, was stabbed in the upper right chest.
The three victims were taken to the Hilo Medical Center. Tony Young was treated for superficial injuries and released. Justin and Angela Young were hospitalized after undergoing surgery for their wounds.

Q: How to install programs on other Ubuntu machines without using the Internet I have several computers running Ubuntu. I also have a slow Internet connection.
If I install programs using apt-get, does that put installation files somewhere which I can access, so that I can use those to also install the same programs on my other Ubuntu machine instead of having to download the same thing multiple times from the net?
What's the way to do this?

A: Yes it is possible.
Those file are stored in /var/apt/cache/archives.

*

*You can copy those files manually or use software like AptonCD.
But this will require you to update the source file using apt-get which is also a   pain in slow internet connections.
What I would recommend is to,

*

*Customize a live CD to include all necessary software and use that media to install it in other system.
You use UCK for this purpose.
Another possible way is

*

*Install ubuntu in one computer. Update with necessary software.
Use remastersys to create an image of your system and use it for installation in others.

A: You might want to take a look at apt-cacher or AptProxy which are designed exactly for your purpose.

A: Ubuntu have two releases every year 4 (April) and 10 (October) that's why programs largely depends on the version based dependencies of kernel or other libraries.
In case you got the right package for installation, you can use the following command to install from a binary .deb (debian package file).
sudo dpkg -i what_so_ever_is_the_package_name.deb

and for removing --
sudo dpkg -r what_so_ever_is_the_package_name

for repair or reconfigure --
sudo dpkg-reconfigure what_so_ever_is_the_package_name

A: Assuming that all Ubuntu installations are of Same Version and Architecture and also having same Package/ Application  Installed state .
So the .deb you have downloaded on one of your machine are stored in

/var/cache/apt/archives/

*

*You can install by selecting the Main Package .deb file opened through Ubuntu Software Center or through gdebi core.

*Another way , if you use sudo apt-get install <package name> to install in main Ubuntu Machine, then after installing , go to the above path of files and copy them exactly into other PC's and run

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

at the same location , you may need Root permissions for that. Then you can issue the same commands to install them there.[ I think it does works].
You can also follow different methods through the Link provided by Mitch .

A: I had the issue, that I had a machine completly without internet connection.
I solved it with this little Trick(s):
1st trick(good for you):
copy the whole apt-cache onto a empty usb-stick
$ sudo cp /var/cache/apt /media/your_username/name_of_usb_stick

then carry the usb stick to the other machine and mount the apt-cache on the usb stick to the apt-cache of your machine
$ sudo mount name_of_usb_stick /var/cache/apt

(you also can mount the apt-cache using nfs)
2nd trick:
(good if your machines are not similar)
First you install the same system on a usb stick(see here),
after that you go to a machine with internet connection an boot from your usb system
Here you fetch the packages using
$ sudo apt-get install --download-only program-you-want-to-install

then shutdown your pc and carry the usb stick to the machine without internet connection, now link the apt-cache on the stick to your apt-cache
$ sudo ln -d /media/your_username/name_of_stick/var/cache/apt  /var/cache/apt

Then run
$ sudo apt-get install program_name

I hope this will help a few people

If you're looking for a way of bringing in some extra money, you might consider the Rent a Room Scheme. Under the tax-saving rules, you can rent out a room and receive up to £7,500 a year in rent (or £625 a month) without paying tax. But the disadvantage is that you can't offset expenses against tax. If you want to charge more than £7,500 a year, you can still use the Rent a Room Scheme – you just have to pay tax on the excess income.
The Rent a Room Scheme is pretty straightforward but that doesn't mean it's necessarily right for you.
You don't have to pay tax on your rental income (or rent plus the cost of laundry etc) up to £7,500 a year. The limit rose from £4,250 in April 2016.
You can't offset expenses against tax. These include wear and tear, insurance, heating or lighting.
SAVVY TIP: The list of expenses that you can offset against tax if you don't take part in the Rent a Room Scheme is quite long, so it's definitely worth doing the sums before you make a decision.
If you don't use the Rent a Room Scheme, you have to pay tax on rental income through your tax return in the normal way.
SAVVY TIP: If you want to opt into the Rent a Room Scheme, you don't have to do a thing if you receive less than £7,500 a year in rent. If you receive more than that, you can opt into the scheme by filling in a self assessment tax return and claiming the allowance.
Tessa Shepperson, a solicitor who set up a website and blog called the Lodger Landlord offers the following tips for lodger landlords (whether or not you're using the Rent a Room Scheme).
Make sure you get permission. You don't have to own the property in order to rent a room to a lodger and it shouldn't be a problem if you're renting from a social landlord. However, if you have an assured shorthold tenancy, you'll need to ask the landlord.
SAVVY TIP: If you're renting, your landlord may not object if you want to take in a lodger, but make sure you get permission in writing. If you own a leasehold flat, check the lease to make sure there are no clauses preventing you from renting a room to a lodger.
Your council tax may increase. If you live in your property on your own, you must tell your local council that you're no longer entitled to the single occupancy discount. If you rent out a room to a full time student, they should qualify for a discount so effectively aren't counted.
Inform your mortgage lender and insurer. Your mortgage lender shouldn't object to you renting out a room but may ask you to fill in a form. However, according to insurance brokers, insurers may increase your premiums (sometimes quite dramatically) or refuse to cover for theft unless there's evidence of a break in. Malicious damage may be excluded as well.
SAVVY TIP: Your insurer may also insist that you ask your lodger whether or not they have any previous convictions (they can only ask about unspent convictions, not ones that are already spent). This isn't the kind of question that gets most landlord/lodger relationships off to the best start. The least intrusive option is to ask your lodger to fill in a form and include a question about previous convictions there (explaining that it's for your insurance).
Consider getting a lodger agreement. You may feel that you know the person well enough not to bother with an agreement, but you might regret it if things go wrong.
SAVVY TIP: It doesn't have to run to pages, it just has to cover the basics, such as notice periods, anti social behaviour and guests.
The government's Gov.uk website has information about the Rent a Room Scheme.
The Gov.uk website also has information about Council Tax.
The Lodger Landlord blog has an article called 21 tips on renting to a lodger.
The website Spareroom.co.uk is a classified ads site for landlords and prospective tenants. It also has a guide to the Rent a Room Scheme.
The website MondaytoFriday.com is aimed at people who want to rent/rent out a room on weekdays only.
SavvyWoman email newsletters: If you found this information useful why not sign up to receive free fortnightly email newsletters with money tips and help? You can do this at the top of any page. You won't be spammed and your details won't be sold.
My name is Antonia and I have been making use of my spare room for a number of years. I have quite recently turned to taking in foreign students (as a host family) in my home in London.
My students are sent to me by an agency I use http://www.hfslondon.com who work for educational institutions in London. It has been a rewarding experience all round. Although I don't earn as much as when I used to take in lodgers, I feel more comfortable knowing that my foreign students are vetted by the language schools and my agency and I don't have to worry as a single lady as much about who I am sharing my home with.
I have met some lovely students (all over 18 years old thankfully). I would suggest you look into it more before taking the plunge but Homestay has been a positive experience for me for over 2 years now.
Thanks for your comment. I'm glad that you've found that renting out your spare room has been a rewarding experience for you (and not just financially). The information about the agency that vets students is useful.
Do I lose my 25%council tax discount sole occupant discount if I take on a foreign students as a host family for a few weeks at a time in my home?
Thanks for your comment and apologies for the delay in responding. I tried to find out the answer on Friday but didn't succeed. I'll pick this up on Monday and post a comment when I receive a response. It's a good question and not one I know the answer to.
Hi I currently take in foreign students doing alevels , do I still have to tell the mortgage company?
Thanks for your question. The short answer is that, yes, you should tell the mortgage company and the insurer. It may not make any difference because you aren't a 'buy to let' landlord as you are living there. But most do ask that you tell them if you rent out to a lodger.
My partner and I have a number of buy-to-let properties on which we pay property tax. We recently bought a 1 bed flat for our son to use while at University. Between us his mother and we meet the mortgage and maintenance charges (ie we are paying only enough to exactly cover the costs of the property). When completing our tax returns this year do I include the income we effectively pay ourselves as well as the expenses we incur?
packs, a dedicated housing team and regular updates through our newsletter.
The comment section is designed for Q and As, rather than just copying and pasting text from your own website.
I also notice that your website asks for a lot of personal information without an https connection. I wouldn't send the level of detail you require across an ordinary http connection and others may feel the same.


Hi everyone, sorry for the short notice, but we were notified today that the North East Alberta Hockey League (NEAHL) did not want to continue to participate in the interleague play. All games between the SPHL and NEAHL have been cancelled. We will work closely with the other leagues that are still 100% committed to interleague to make up these games or come up with options that works the best for all.
if you were to host a NEAHL team this weekend please check your schedule on the NAI website, the game might have been replaced.
Again I do apologize for the short notice.

Aug. 31 - Amateur videos purport to show air strikes and shelling in Syria, as the U.S. signals military action with Congressional approval. Deborah Lutterbeck reports.
War rages across Syria. A man can be heard saying he has been calling for help for more than two years -- but there's been no response. Now U.S. President Barack Obama says the U.S. will take action against the Assad government. This comes after allegations that the government used chemical weapons on its own people. But Obama also said he is seeking Congressional approval. A Syrian rebel commander said opposition fighters are preparing to launch attacks that exploit anticipated U.S. strikes, but there are no plans to coordinate with Western forces. The video which can not be independently verified by Reuters also comes amid reports that some Islamist fighters on the ground have also cleared their bases out of fear they too may become targets. More footage from Idlib shows demonstrators on the streets chanting against the government -- saying 'Regardless of the world's position, we will win." The conflict in Syria began with peaceful protests more than two years ago. It has since descended into a civil war killing more than 100,000 people.
