Missing the target: The Government inquiry into Afghanistan raid
A bold Government would have taken on these issues. Instead, it has wilfully turned a blind eye
By Eugene Bingham & Paula Penfold
Last year, far away from Defence Headquarters where top brass squirmed at questions and fought off calls for an inquiry, the parents of Fatima, the youngest victim of the Operation Burnham raid, sobbed and sobbed.
Over cups of green tea, they'd been telling us of the night in 2010 when helicopters emerged from the night sky and started firing on their village in rural Afghanistan, when they broke down at the memory of their three-year-old girl.
"I feel that my heart is exploding," Fatima's father told us. "She was not just a daughter, she had become a real sweetheart."
But their tears were not just of grief; they were borne of frustration and disbelief. The raid had been led by the New Zealand SAS, but no one was taking responsibility.
According to the book Hit and Run, three-year-old Fatima was killed during a New Zealand SAS raid in Afghanistan. Now the Government has announced it will hold inquiry into allegations of civilian deaths at the hands of Kiwis. (Photo: Hit and Run)
The doctor who treated the victims of the raid had come with them too, to meet us and Jon Stephenson, co-author with Nicky Hager of the book Hit and Run.
Through us, the doctor wanted to plead with the New Zealand Government.
"[New Zealand] should send a high-ranking delegation, one of their best delegations, with full authority to Kabul so that I can bring all the wounded people and families of the martyred so they investigate this case, but if they're not going to do this it means that they're breaching human rights," he said.
Weeks later, he was dead. In one of the countless cruel twists Afghanistan suffers every single day this man who so valued human rights was murdered, captured by the Taliban and slaughtered.
In some way, the announcement from the Government that it will hold an inquiry into Operation Burnham, honours the doctor and his wishes. At last, the people he battled for, including the parents of Fatima, can hopefully have a voice.
But there are many, many others in Afghanistan who deserve to be heard too.
Kudos to the Government for seeking answers to questions raised in the book.
However it has blatantly ignored an opportunity.
Because the specific concern over civilian casualties in Operation Burnham represents only a fraction of the problems with culture and lack of accountability at the top of Defence, particularly regarding the decade-long deployment to Afghanistan.
Those problems run very, very deep. A bold Government would have taken on these issues. Instead, it has wilfully turned a blind eye.
On the same trip to Afghanistan last year to film the documentary series The Valley, we met with others who had encountered New Zealand forces.
We sat in a small, mud hut in Bamyan with the uncle of one of the Afghan soldiers who died in the Battle of Baghak in August 2012, a battle in which two New Zealand soldiers died and six others were wounded. Our investigation showed the deaths may have resulted from friendly fire, rather than caused by insurgents, as the New Zealand Court of Inquiry found.
We met villagers from Uruzghan who told us SAS troopers provoked the firefight in 2004 which led to Willie Apiata receiving his VC. They described how the bodies of their dead were dumped on the ground of the village bazaar in a gruesome show of force, and that our troopers then kicked in doors and flexi-cuffed men.
We spoke to an MP in Kabul who expressed his anger that New Zealand soldiers were collecting biometric data from innocent Afghans, a fact Defence did not tell the New Zealand public, nor even the Defence Minister at the time.
We asked Defence for an interview with Chief of Defence Lieutenant General Tim Keating - or an interview with anyone at all. None was forthcoming. Not one person within Defence was willing to answer our questions. Actually, worse than that, there were frontline soldiers who wanted to talk to us, but they were gagged by their bosses.
The Attorney General's announcement specifically rules out inquiring into issues raised in The Valley. Spuriously, it says the the matters raised in the documentary were dealt with in a Court of Inquiry.
This ignores two important facts: the documentary showed how key conclusions of the Court of Inquiry were wrong (a fact now even acknowledged by Defence); and The Valley raised far more than just the matters that were dealt with in the Court of Inquiry.
More importantly, there are the deeper issues that overlap with themes raised by the book.
The allegations in Hit and Run and those made in The Valley are in essence the same: of lack of transparency and accountability. Of a culture of cover-up and obfuscation.
And at the heart of it all are questions raised by families of fallen New Zealand soldiers in The Valley: why were we even in Afghanistan in the first place? What were we trying to achieve? These are questions which other countries have been mature enough to deal with - why aren't we?
The families we met in Afghanistan, and the New Zealand families of our fallen soldiers, deserve more than this very limited inquiry will deliver.

A businessman caught selling knock off Little Mix, Louis Vuitton and Apple mobile covers has narrowly avoided jail.
Trading standards officers seized counterfeit goods from Computer and Phone Centre and Laptop and Mobile on North Road in Durham in October 2015.
A test purchase operation in February 2016 also found Yaseen Imtiaz, who occupied the two shops, charge £70 to install unlicensed versions of Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office on a laptop.
The 39-year-old, of Grange Road, Newcastle , was sentenced to 10 weeks in prison suspended for 18 months for infringing copyright, engaging in misleading commercial practices and the unauthorised use of trademarks.
Durham Crown Court heard Imtiaz was first interviewed by trading standards officers after the phone covers were seized in 2015.
At this time, he admitted ownership of the Computer and Phone Centre but said Laptop and Mobile belonged to his wife.
Enquires continued and led to the test purchase operation in February 2016.
Four months later, police and trading standard officers undertook further searches of both business premises and seized a number of laptops, phone accessories and covers.
The court heard Imtiaz was arrested and interviewed by trading standards officers but made no comment.
Enquiries established that laptops displayed for sale at both premises contained illegal versions of Microsoft Windows.
And examinations of phone accessories and mobile phone covers by brand representatives also confirmed these to be counterfeit.
Imtiaz was again interviewed in January 2017 but again made no comment.
He later pleaded guilty to the charges before the start of his trial on May 14.
In mitigation, the court heard Imtiaz believed the software was genuine and blamed an employee for it being used.
Joanne Waller, head of environment, health and consumer protection at Durham County Council , said infringement of copyright and trademarks affect the brand owners and the wider community by creating “an uneven playing field”.
She added: “Legitimate traders lose out to less scrupulous sellers.
“In this instance, Imtiaz’s offending misled consumers, who would quite rightly expect traders to offer only authentic goods for sale.
“Counterfeit goods and software do not meet the same standards of functionality and quality as their genuine counterparts.
“Trading standards will continue to take positive action against suppliers of illegal goods, and promote a fair trading environment.”
Consumers can report sales of counterfeit goods via the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 03454 040506.

Dads and their daughters step lively in an annual delightful event at Temple Sinai in Dresher.
Daddy’s little girls got in some quality dance time
at Temple Sinai earlier this month at the Men’s Club’s “Daddy-Daughter Dance,” a popular annual event for the Dresher temple. Here the girls take
to the floor, with dads doing their best to not look square
by doing only the box step. Above, some shades of the ’70s as Taryn O’Donnell and her dad, Chris, look like they’ve got some “Saturday Night Fever” going!


If their history of the Telkom Knockout is anything to go by, Orlando Pirates could go into their match against Kaizer Chiefs this coming weekend seen as the underdogs.
Chiefs and Pirates will play their TKO semi-final match at Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday. The Buccaneers have never won a match against Amakhosi in the competition, over the years.
The two giants of South African football have played six times in the previous editions of the prestigious competition and Chiefs have had the better of Bucs in all of those times.
In 1983, during the second year of the competition and when it was still known as the Datsun Challenge, Chiefs had beaten Pirates on their way to defeating Wits University 2-1 in the Final.
In 1992, Chiefs knocked out Pirates with a 3-2 final score when the competition was still known as the Coca-Cola Cup.
During the 1998/99 season, when the competition was still known as the Rothmans Cup, Chiefs beat Bucs 3-1 in the first leg of their two-legged semi-final, and while Bucs won the second leg match 1-0 they still exited the competition with 3-2 aggregate final score.
In the 2009/10 season, under the current name, Telkom Knockout, Chiefs beat Bucs 3-0 after penalty shoot-outs, after they finished regulation time deadlocked at 0-0 in their semi-final match.
In 2010, the two powerhouses of Mzansi football played in the Final and Amakhosi emerged as 3-0 winners at FNB Stadium, courtesy of goals from Sthembiso Ngcobo (two) and Siphiwe Tshabalala.
The last time Chiefs and Bucs met in the TKO was during the 2015 semi-final as Amakhosi won 6-5 on penalties after the match ended 0-0 on regulation time.
Following Pirates’ 2-1 win over Chiefs from their Absa Premiership Soweto Derby played at the end of last month, Bucs’ fans will hope that they will finally see a win for their side against perennial rivals in this competition, under the tutelage of Milutin Sredojevic and Rulani Mokwena.

This committee was convened by the Advisor to the Prime Minister (PM) on Commerce, and consisted of the Minister for Science and Technology, Advisor to the PM on Climate Change, and Special Assistant to the PM on Petroleum, among others. This committee was tasked with finalising a draft of the EV Policy, however, the Industries and Production Division would submit this draft to the cabinet for approval.
This is in line with Rule 15 (2) of Schedule 11 of the Rules of Business 1972, where formulation of industrial policies was delegated to the Industries and Production Division.

A few months ago, the parents of two female students enrolled in St. Theresa’s School in Kenilworth, New Jersey sought to force the school to reinstate their children after they were denied admission to the school this fall. They lost in Superior Court yesterday, as well they should have.
Judge Donald A. Kessler read his decision for three hours from the bench, so chock full of detail was this bizarre lawsuit.
It all began last December when the girls’ father, Scott Phillips, filed a lawsuit to get his daughter, Sydney, on the boys basketball team after the season for the girls was cancelled. He succeeded in arranging for her to play in the last game of the boys team in February.
Two months later, the school said the girls were not welcome to return for the next school year. That’s when Phillips sued the school, and the Archdiocese of Newark, seeking to force the school to reverse its decision.
“The court does not have the authority to meddle in this decision,” said Judge Kessler. The judge was not sparing of the parents, noting how they went public with their complaint, causing undue commotion in the community. To be specific, he cited threatening letters sent by the girls’ mother, Theresa Mullen.
Judge Kessler noted that the parents have a record of lodging complaints whenever they don’t get their way. In 2016, when the older son of the parents was not named the eighth grade valedictorian, both parents sounded off. Scott Phillips was so enraged that he called the female principal a “son of a b****.” The archdiocese intervened to help restore order, but to no avail—the parents remained publicly indignant.
The issue of Church autonomy is fast becoming one of the most contentious matters in the nation. Separation of church and state obviously doesn’t mean much to those who advocate state control of Catholic institutions, but if the Church cannot decide its own internal strictures, it is no longer Catholic. That is exactly what the activists want, which is why they must be fought at every turn.
This also goes to show how vacuous the mantra of diversity is. Those who truly believe in pluralism do not seek to access the heavy hand of the state to force sectarian institutions to march to the beat of its secular drum.

(CNN)"Schmigadoon!" was intelligibly made by and for radical who emotion musicals, for amended and occasionally worse. Seeking to make capable archetypal euphony to powerfulness a TV bid is ever a large challenge, with the added load that the songs successful this 10-episode Apple TV+ amusement are mostly spoofs aimed astatine those who person spent excessively overmuch clip watching Turner Classic Movies.

What unfolds, then, is simply a bid of encounters designed to trial the couple's ties -- and whether their destined spouse mightiness really beryllium 1 of Schmigadoon's colorfully clad residents -- augmented by an array of high-spirited numbers and knowing asides. For starters, the lack of cheery characters successful aged musicals is amusingly addressed.
If you perceive echoes to the likes of "Carousel," "The Music Man" and others, you'd beryllium right, sung by an enormously talented formed -- including Alan Cumming, Kristin Chenoweth, Aaron Tveit, Dove Cameron, Ariana DeBose, and Jaime Camil -- who each look to beryllium having an implicit shot doing it.
Still, the occupation with this benignant of workout -- conceived by animated-movie veterans Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio, moving with manager Barry Sonnenfeld -- hinges connected sustaining it, and the bid possibly inevitably drags successful the middle, a small excessively self-satisfied with the premise and its cleverness successful evoking the past.

Simply put, it's sporadically amusive but a small excessively cute for its ain good. Working successful the confines of streaming affords "Schmigadoon!" the luxury of appealing astir exclusively to the high-school-drama geek contingent, a reasonably tiny if mostly desirable demo.
The bid besides happens to tread the boards successful a twelvemonth that volition spot an inordinate fig of musicals deed movie theaters -- "West Side Story" and "Dear Evan Hansen" among them -- aft the disappointingly tepid box-office reception for "In the Heights" contempt stellar reviews.

At the risk of straining our necks by looking backward, we'll also be looking ahead this week regarding the future direction of the economy.
That's because we get a couple of opportunities to look at the Federal Reserve's view. Wednesday, the central bank releases the minutes of its most recent policy meeting. That same day, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke talks about the outlook before the Joint Economic Committee of Congress.
- Bernanke testimony to Joint Economic Committee, 10 a.m. Wednesday (all times Eastern).
- FOMC Minutes, 2 p.m. Wednesday.
Key question for the Fed
The Fed has committed to $85 billion in monthly asset purchases to boost economic growth. Its specific pledge is good "until the labor market has improved substantially." It will be up to the Federal Open Market Committee to decide when to begin scaling back. Both the Bernanke comments and the minutes will be examined closely for indications when that might happen.
Fed members are 'antsy'
One man who has been in that policymaking position is William Ford, former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Currently the Weatherford Chair of Finance at Middle Tennessee State University, Ford doesn't expect an immediate decision to scale back.
"There are some signs that members of the Federal Open Market Committee, a number of them are getting more and more antsy about what's going on with the risks they're taking," Ford says. Among those risks are the unintended consequences of the expanded balance sheet.
"They're aware they've got a ton of interest rate risk and they're making it worse day by day with these purchases," he says, adding that the total value of holdings on the Fed's balance sheet was recently put at more than $3 trillion.
If not now, when?
Minutes of the March meeting indicated that "many" members of the Federal Open Market Committee "expressed the view that continued solid improvement in the outlook for the labor market could prompt the committee to slow the pace of purchases beginning at some point over the next several meetings." So when might that happen?
Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for The PNC Financial Services Group, looks for the Fed to begin tapering its asset purchases by the fourth quarter. He says those same purchases could end by early next year. Hoffman likens that to a decision to stop giving medicine to a patient. The patient in this case is the economy, no longer in need of medical care.
Ford says a slower pace of asset purchases is dependent "on the unemployment picture getting below 7 percent." It was reported at 7.5 percent for April.
With the housing market continuing its recovery from having been the economy's central problem, we'll get two key snapshots this week.
- April existing home sales, 10 a.m. Wednesday.
- April new home sales, 10 a.m. Thursday.
Hoffman says of the dual home-sales readings: "I think we'll find both of them moved higher in the month of April, particularly existing home sales topping the 5 million annual rate." He calls the housing market "now balanced" relative to the advantages held by sellers and buyers. Hoffman says the outlook for new home sales is flat for the month at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 400,000.
This week in business history: Levi's
Worn some blue jeans lately? If you are like most Americans, the answer is probably yes. It was May 20, 1873, that Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis were given a patent to make blue jeans with copper rivets. According to San Francisco-based Levi Strauss & Co., they would produce copper-riveted "waist overalls," the old name for jeans. It was recently announced that the company had reached an agreement to place the now iconic Levi's brand name on the new Santa Clara, Calif., stadium, which will be home to the 49ers of the NFL.

Ahmadinejad Critic Re-elected Speaker
The Iranian parliament re-elected conservative Ali Larijani as speaker Tuesday by a vote of 177 to 89 over rival Gholam Ali Hadad Adel. Larijani is part of the majority conservative group that has been critical of President Ahmadinejad since an incident last year when the president challenged Ayatollah Khamenei’s authority.
Meanwhile, the Iranian government is stepping in to prop up Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and prevent a no-confidence vote from dissolving Maliki’s Shiite coalition government. Iran has supposedly been calling in favors with its Iraqi allies and using its economic and cultural power to influence members of parliament. “The fear is that the downfall of al-Maliki, coupled with the uncertainties about Assad’s fate in Syria, could leave the Iranians suddenly looking at unfriendly faces.”
Additionally, one hundred seventeen imprisoned political prisoners sent a letter warning the Iranian government of the urgent need to treat jailed blogger Hossein Ronaghi Maleki. The letter urged the government to abide by article 291 of the penal code which compels authorities to treat prisoners outside of the prison if need be. Maleki, who is suffering [Persian] from complications after a kidney transplant, is on a hunger strike to draw attention to his condition.
In Washington, a U.S. Appeals Court has ordered Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to act on a request by the Iranian group the Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK) to be removed from the U.S. terror blacklist within the next four months. Congress gave Secretary Clinton 180 days to act, but since then 600 days have elapsed with no decision made. The MEK, who opposed both the Shah and the Islamic Republic, are based in a refugee camp in Iraq, where they have sought refuge since the 1980′s.
Also, morality police in Iran announced today that sending wedding photos and videos abroad via satellite programs is illegal and will be punished. The chief of morality police said the ban was necessary as several satellite channels have called for submissions for documentaries.

While still waiting to find out what provision of the Constitution section four of the Voting Rights Act violated (Justice Roberts' majority decision doesn't appear to ever get around to providing that little detail), it occurs to me that Shelby County v. Holder reflects, among other things, the ongoing failure of white American Catholicism to fully come to grips with the depths of the sin of racism in this country.
Daniel O'Connell, the great Liberator of 19th century Ireland, couldn't understand why Irish-Americans weren't at the forefront of the abolitionist movement. Both O'Connell and his friend and ally, Frederick Douglass saw the two struggles as linked.
But Irish immigrants to the US ended up seeing it differently. They saw a society much like the old one they'd left behind---where general prosperity and political freedom relied on the maintenance of a segregated and oppressed "other". In the Old World the "other" was Irish Catholics. In the New World, it was Blacks---and the newly American Irish fought bitterly to avoid getting caught on the wrong side of that dividing line. Thomas Nast's racist, nativist and wildly popular political cartoons (example above) give a hint of how fluid and up for grabs the "race" line was in mid-19th century America.
The Irish provided the template by which later European Catholic immigrants could prove their "whiteness" and thus dramatically improve their chances of achieving "the American Dream". And part of that template required ignoring and minimizing the history of racism in the United States and the ways in which "white" Catholics increasingly benefted from it. (Noel Ignatiev's How The Irish Became White is one of a growing number of fine books and articles exploring and documenting this history.)
It's not ancient history either. Thomas Sugrue's brilliant histories of race and civil rights in mid-20th century Northern cities, The Origins of the Urban Crisis and Sweet Land of Liberty, vividly document the myiad ways in which the sin of racism is not just a "Southern problem". Ira Katznelson's Fear Itself shows how the New Deal, in a multitude of ways, reinforced and institutionalized racial discrimination and oppression across the country.
The world they describe is the world in which Justices Roberts, Scalia, Kennedy and Alito grew up---one in which any prejudice they and their families experienced (as Catholics, as Irish, as Italians) was but a pale and faded reflection of the racist oppression that is inextricably intertwined with the democratic and capitalist roots of what became the United States of America. What's more, the ways in which they benefited (in most cases, unconsciously, I imagine) from institutionalized racism far outweighed any "costs" they experienced of not being part of the WASP majority.
Chief Justice Taney, in his Dred Scott opinion, at least had the excuse (justification? reason?) that his decision was based on the plainly racist character of the relevant sections of the Constitution. Roberts and his colleagues have taken the plainly anti-racist intent (and utterly clear language) of the 15th amendment and twisted it beyond recognition.
Uprooting and repenting of the sin of racism remains one of the great, unfinished challenges white American Catholics face. Shelby County v. Holder not only doesn't help us along that journey; it's a marker of how very far we have to go.

Dangers of waterfall hikes in Maui
To be dramatic…
People have DIED from visiting waterfalls on Maui!
Flash flooding in waterfall streams in Hawaii
The stream that feeds the waterfalls, and the waterfalls themselves, can look calm. But then suddenly without warning, there can be a powerful gush of water that overcomes the stream. People have died being swept away by such a sudden rush of water.
Make sure to check local weather alerts before you go. If it’s rained in the past day or 2, this could also mean potential for flash flooding. If the water looks brown, this could be another sign that the water has been stirred up because of fast moving water.
According to Maui County:
Flash flooding may still occur even when sunny due to rain clouds higher up in the mountains.
Read more tips for visiting waterfalls in Hawaii.
Also, Hawaii is home to a dangerous bacteria called leptospirosis. In particular, it is recommended to not go into streams and waterfalls if you have open wounds.
Rock fall near waterfalls in Hawaii
Some waterfalls have a greater risk than others of rocks falling from the above. Again, at least one person has died from being hit on the head by a rock when in a waterfall pool or nearby.
More about some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Hawaii!
Twin Falls (lower falls and upper falls)
This can be one of your first stops on the Road to Hana. There’s a parking lot for Twin Falls Farm right off the Hana Highway.
If that’s full, there’s also limited parking on the opposite side of the bridge.
You’ll then take about a 5 minute walk to get to the first set of waterfalls (lower falls). You can view one of the falls from the upper level. And then you can view more waterfalls by taking a kind of steep trail down, and then make a stream crossing to get to the base of this part of the falls.
Then walking further along, there are more waterfalls you can visit when you’re at Twin Falls Farm.
It will be about a 15 minute walk to get to these waterfalls (upper falls). These waterfalls are also called Caveman Falls.
This waterfall trail also has a couple of stream crossings.
See more about these Road to Hana waterfalls: Twin Falls
These are waterfalls that are just off the Road to Hana.
But you can’t really get a very good view of the waterfalls directly from the road when driving by, although you can see a glimpse.
So you’ll need to park and get out of the car in order appreciate Waikamoi Falls.
You can take a short trail to see the waterfalls from the base, and then you can continue to take the trail to go a bit further up to see the waterfalls from the top too, along with the stream that feeds the waterfalls.
On google maps, you’ll look for Waikamoi Streams and waterfall. When you are driving in the direction of Hana, it is just past the Waikamoi Nature Trail, also located along the side of the road.
On the way to the next waterfalls on the list, you’ll pass by the Keanae Peninsula which can be a worthy stop for views at the Keanae Point Lookout and the famous Maui banana bread. Keanae Road can be easy to miss, so make sure you are paying attention!
Upper Waikani Falls
These are also waterfalls that are just off the Road to Hana.
And you can see them without getting out of your car. You’ll be able to see them when you’re driving across the bridge.
There’s limited parking around if you want to get out to get better pictures.
This is just before mile marker 21 when you’re driving in the direction of Hana.
You can see the upper level of the waterfalls without getting out of the car, and if you get out of the car, then you can see the lower level waterfalls too.
Puaa Kaa Falls
These waterfalls are a part of the Puaa Kaa state wayside park.
This is one of the Hawaii state park sites on the Road to Hana.
This can be a pretty quick stop. It can also be a bathroom break!
See more about these Road to Hana waterfalls: Puaa Kaa Falls
You can see these waterfalls from the bridge as you’re driving by, or you can get out of the car and take a short trail to get a little closer to them too.
See more about these Road to Hana waterfalls: Hanawi Falls
These are waterfalls on the Road to Hana that you can see from above! There is a small parking area right next to the bridge from which you can look down to see Makapipi Falls.
See more about these Road to Hana waterfalls: Makapipi Falls
There is a road next to the Makapipi Falls bridge that will take you down to the shoreline to the Nahiku viewpoint where you will find stunning views of ocean and mountains!
And moving on to the next waterfalls on the list, you’ll be passing through Hana town. You may look into stopping by Waianapanapana State Park to see the famous black sand beach and hike across lava fields. Also in Hana is the Hana lava tube where you can walk through the Maui cave that’s considered to be biggest lava tube on Maui.
Some food stops in Hana you may look into:
These are waterfalls that you can swim at. They are popular waterfalls for swimming.
You can also see these waterfalls without even getting out of your car. You can see them as you’re driving by across the bridge.
If you do want to get out of the car, you can get some pictures just by standing on the bridge, or you can take the short trail to get closer to the waterfalls (and go swimming)!
See more about these Hana Highway waterfalls: Wailua Falls
These are famous waterfalls known for being a swimming spot, also called Seven Sacred Pools at the Oheo Gulch.
It seems though that recently it’s been more or less permanently closed off because of the continued risk of flash flooding. Even if it’s closed to swimming, you can get a glimpse of the Oheo Pools.
These waterfalls are a part of the Kipahulu area of the Haleakala National Park.
Because you get to see these waterfalls along with the ocean, this is one of the best hikes in Haleakala National Park. You’ll hike the Kuloa Point Trail to see the Oheo Pools.
There’s an upper level and lower level parking lot in the main parking area in front of the Kipahulu visitor center, and there’s also an overflow lot in a grassy area, which is in the direction of the campground.
Being a part of the national park means that a visit to the Oheo Pools requires a national park entry fee. If you don’t have an annual pass (Hawaii national park pass or US national park pass), the individual Haleakala National Park pass costs around $30 and lasts for 3 days. This same pass is also good for the popular Haleakala summit area of the national park. The 2 areas are not connected by road.
See more about these Hana Highway waterfalls: Oheo Pools
This is also a part of the national park, the same Kipahulu area of the waterfalls of the Oheo pools.
The Waimoku Falls requires a solid hike to get to.
To get to these waterfalls, you’ll take the Pipiwai Trail, which is a worthy trail on its own because it’s a bamboo forest hike on Maui! This is another one of the best hikes in Haleakala National Park.
Before you get to the bamboo forest, you’ll also see several smaller waterfalls. Shortly after you pass through the bamboo forest, you’ll start to see the grand Waimoku Falls.
You can keep walking a little bit longer to get a little bit closer, and this includes a stream crossing.
For safety reasons, these waterfalls are best viewed from a distance. There will be a sign telling you to not go further so you’ll know when to stop, although there’s a good chance you’ll see people making their way all the way to the waterfalls. There’s been at least one death at Waimoku Falls from rock fall.
You can still see the magnificence of the waterfalls from far away.
See more about this Hana Highway waterfall hike: Hike to Waimoku Falls
Continuing on the Hana Highway past Haleakala National Park will take you to what’s generally called the “back road to Hana.” So Haleakala National Park is often the turnaround point for an out-and-back Road to Hana trip, and not as many people drive past the national park. But there are people who make it a Road to Hana loop.
Back road to Hana waterfalls
If you will be driving the back road to Hana, or if you’ll be staying at the Kipahulu Campground, you might want to go to Alelele Falls!
If you do have plans to do the full Road to Hana loop, see more about stops to make along the back road to Hana.

Title IX, the law against sexual discrimination on campus, will now apply to sexual harassment and violence, according to an email sent to VSU students on Jan. 21.
Revisions to federal law brought about these changes to Title IX.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities that receive federal funding.
Title IX provides, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
Dr. Maggie Viverette, VSU’s Title IX coordinator, provided a bit of background on some changes that will be made to Title IX.
“The Clery Act and the ‘Violence Against Women’ Act provide guidance and clarification to colleges and universities on how each law should be implemented and which types of incidents should be labeled as Title IX,” Viverette said.
These revisions include terms of sexual harassment. VSU Attorney Laverne Gaskins said that the Office for Civil Rights sent out a letter to universities in April 2011 telling them they had an obligation, under Title IX, to eliminate sexual harassment, including sexual violence.
Sexual violence refers to physical sexual acts committed against a person’s will or where that person is not capable of giving consent to the other.
“Students, faculty, and staff deserve to learn and work in an environment that is welcoming and safe,” Viverette said. “Title IX is a critical piece of the effort required to create a safe campus environment. Women as well as men should be able to carry out their daily activities within the campus community without the fear of becoming a victim of sexual violence.
“Every member of the campus community has a responsibility to the campus in the effort to prevent sexual violence. We must work together to protect each other,” Dr. Viverette said.
There are measures that VSU has taken in its attempt to implement Title IX to its fullest, such as VSU President William McKinney establishing a special committee on the prevention of sexual assault, which includes the Title IX coordinator.
“Valdosta State University is committed to maintaining a fair and respectful environment for living, working and studying,” Gaskins said. “VSU adheres to all applicable laws and has been proactive in addressing issues of concerns related to Title IX.”

The star returned for the Lakers after missing the previous game with a non-COVID illness, but when LeBron James stepped onto the Crypto.com Arena court Friday night, he had to play without three more of his trusty mates and had to incorporate a new face to help the cause.
James and the Lakers had to endure the loss of key role player Austin Reaves, who missed the game against the Atlanta Hawks because of a left hamstring injury that will have him being reevaluated in about two weeks; wing player Lonnie Walker IV, who was diagnosed with left knee tendinitis and also will be reevaluated in about two weeks; and Troy Brown, who was out because of a left quad strain.
Those injuries led to the Lakers signing guard Sterling Brown to a 10-day contact and it meant James, Russell Westbrook and the rest of the healthy crew had to push forward despite being undermanned.
And not to be forgotten, Lakers guard Dennis Schroder had injured his right ankle during Wednesday night’s game, but he still played against the Hawks.
Despite the injuries, the Lakers pulled out a 130-114 victory over the Hawks.
James, who had scored 47, grabbed 10 rebounds and handed out nine assists in the Lakers’ win on his 38th birthday last week in Atlanta, led the charge with 25 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds.
And he got plenty of help as the Lakers won their fourth straight and overcame Trae Young’s 32 points.
Thomas Bryant had 19 points and 13 rebounds. Kendrick Nunn had a season-high 23 points, Russell Westbrook had 18 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists and Schroder had 21 points.
“It’s a long season and guys’ injuries are a big, real part of our story and our season and our sport,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said before the game. “So, Austin is out. Obviously, Lonnie is out. Troy is out …
“We signed Sterling to a 10-day, something I’m excited about to kind of help shore up things in their absence. But we’ll do like always do, we’ll figure it out.”
And the Lakers did, scoring 37 points on the Hawks in the first quarter, their highest scoring first quarter of the season.
The Lakers opened a 70-49 lead at the half, their largest halftime lead of the season.
Brown checked in with three minutes and 15 seconds left in the first half.
His history with Ham from the two of them having spent two years together with the Milwaukee Bucks played a role in Brown getting his deal.
“Oh man, I’m super excited. It’s a great opportunity,” Brown said. “It’s a good team, good group of guys. I’m gonna come in, just try to bring a lot of energy and do what I do: knock down the three-ball and try to guard. Make winning plays.
“That’s what the team is about. And I’m just gonna try to contribute as much as I can.”
Brown is just two seasons removed from shooting 42.3% from three-point range with Houston.
He had been playing in the NBA G-League, with Toronto’s team.
“I mean, he’s a tough as nails. He’s highly competitive,” Ham said about Brown. “He’s a great defensive rebounder and he’s very athletic.
“He can shoot it. He can knock down threes and again he can guard multiple positions and he can handle it in pick-and-rolls. He can set screens and roll. So, he’s a versatile perimeter player. Again, we’re excited to look at him over the next few days.”
Notes: Reaves and Wenyen Gabriel were informed that the Lakers are guaranteeing their contracts for the rest of the season, according to people not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. … The Lakers also worked out guard Tyler Dorsey on Thursday and were impressed by his shooting.


We’ve discussed Wi-Fi site surveys in a couple of blog posts already (basics and when to perform site surveys). However, not all site surveys are equal. There’s three common types of on-site surveys that can be performed:
Passive site surveys
Performed to get an understanding of the RF characteristics on-site. By RF characteristics I mean Wi-Fi signal strengths, noise levels, SNR (signal-to-noise ratio), and the like. The reason the site surveys are called “passive” is that your Wi-Fi network adapter is pretty much just listening to packets when performing passive site surveys. OK, the NIC might send some probes out, but that’s about it.
Active Site Surveys
Provide more insight on the network connectivity and/or performance. Things like packet loss, packet delay, and access points you’ve associated with, can be measured during active site surveys. As the name suggests, with active surveys the Wi-Fi adapter is receiving AND sending packets to figure out what’s truly going on with the network.
RTLS Site Surveys (aka RTLS calibration surveys)
Performed to enable high-precision asset and people tracking using Wi-Fi (location engine and Wi-Fi tags required). It’s hard to get good accuracy with Wi-Fi RTLS without surveying the site first. From the technical perspective, RTLS site survey is similar to a passive survey.
Two of the first mentioned surveys should pretty much always be performed when deploying, verifying or optimizing the network. RTLS surveys are necessary only when either considering or deploying RTLS.
Many Wi-Fi tools only support one kind of a survey (typically passive). Some provide more options, but only allow you to perform one type of a survey at a time. I typically try not to advertise Ekahau products too much on this blog, but: To save on-site time, Ekahau Site Survey supports making all three at once. Let’s see how long it takes for our competitors to catch up on this one…
Should we talk about RTLS or Wi-Fi design/management the next time? Any suggestions for blog topics?

Why does ABS and brake light come on?
Four Reasons Your Anti-lock Brake System Light Can Come On The four common reasons that typically cause this light to turn on include a malfunctioning ABS module, low levels in the fluid reservoir, broken wheel speed sensors, or the system is turned off.
Is the Crown Vic a good car?

Can worn brake pads cause brake light to come on?
The most likely cause of the brake warning light is that the brake fluid level has got a little low. If your brake pads have become significantly worn, this may trigger the light. Some cars do have a separate warning light for worn brake pads, which looks like this.
What do I do if my ABS and brake light is on?
If the light remains on, you need have our service department check it out immediately. Since the ABS helps with vehicle control and stopping distances, it is an important safety feature to maintain. If both the ABS and the brake system light come on at the same time, your vehicle is no longer safe to drive.
Are Crown Vic parts expensive?
The average annual repair cost is $1,081 which means it has poor ownership costs. The severity of repairs is average and the frequency of those issues is low, so major repairs are uncommon for the Crown Victoria.

Barking and Dagenham gives thumbs up to developing smaller plots of council owned land
- Credit: Archant
A plan to develop derelict plots of council-owned land to build homes has been given a green light.
Barking and Dagenham Council cabinet chiefs approved the details at an online meeting on Tuesday, June 16.
The housing innovation programme aims to make the best use of otherwise difficult to develop pieces of local authority land.
The intention is that this will be done in a way that lets the council take advantage of technical innovations and the involvement of the community.
Cllr Cameron Geddes, cabinet member for regeneration and social housing, said: “We have a number of small sites which are relatively tricky to develop, but with some imagination and flair could provide top quality homes for people.
You may also want to watch:
“We’ll be offering the chance to community groups to lead their own housing project, and also to innovative architects or perhaps builders using new construction methods, to deliver new affordable homes.
“We’ll be looking for the best possible value for money, of course, but we’ll also be looking for other social benefits, particularly specialist homes for vulnerable people.”

- 9 Average house price in Barking and Dagenham falls from record high
- 10 Barking sex offender who pushed crotch into girl, 15, on Tube sentenced
The sites will be allocated through a competitive process to small developers, emerging architects or community-led groups to trial new methods of construction, highly sustainable housing or models for community led development.
Community led housing includes self-builds, cooperatives and community land trusts, among others.
The emphasis will be on delivering affordable homes for the locals, but the selection criteria will look at a range of other social benefits too.
Sites in Farmway, Goresbrook Road, Chelmer Crescent, the back of 134 Becontree Avenue and in Keir Hardie Way are among the first to be identified for development.
Where a development is delivered by the council itself, the local authority will keep ownership of the land and fund the development either through its general fund or the housing revenue account.
Where it is proposed that a site is sold off to an outside organisation, the town hall can make use of a GLA process for disposal and contracting.
Selasi Setufe, innovative sites programme manager at Be First, said: “The council has a considerable number of small sites and we want to use these to trial innovative ways of building new homes.
“We want to give an opportunity to smaller organisations who can’t usually get involved in bigger schemes but have expertise in designing excellent homes on small sites by using innovative ideas.”

Monday 25 May
Leaving Milnathort our first stop was at Dunkeld a small town north of Perth which has an interesting history and prides itself as being the gateway to the highlands. The town has associations with Beatrix Potter who enjoyed long holidays there in her youth. The local postman, who was an acknowledged expert on fungi befriended the young Beatrix who drew and painted fungi and became an expert herself. Dunkeld also has an ancient cathedral, half of which is now ruined, which sits on the banks of the river Tay with beautifully mown lawn leading down to the river.
Next we stopped at the fishing village of Johnshaven (do we read that as John’s haven or John shaven we wondered) where we had a quick walk around the small harbour before driving on to Stonehaven below Aberdeen, another attractive seaside town with a small harbour. A long drive took us to Lossiemouth where we had booked into the formerly very grand seaside Stotfield hotel. The public areas were still large and elegant but our room although satisfactory was pretty tired. We are booking places at the budget end of the accommodation spectrum, our basic requirement is ensuite facilities, and most have been pretty good but it’s a bit of a lottery.
After a good dinner we had walk around the town which has a marina with yachts and power boats of all sizes.
Another good day!
26 May (today)
After a drive around Lossiemouth, with its sand dune backed, East beach we stopped first at Nairn before driving on to Dunrobin castle which is more reminiscent of a French chateaux than a Scottish castle. The tour of the house was great and the formal gardens were spectacular but, for me, the falconry display was the most interesting. The gent presenting the show flew a gerfalcon, an owl and a peregrine falcon all of which flew with great precision. The owl, in particular was flying so low over the watchers that at times its wings were touching people’s heads.
Tonight we are staying in Halkirk at the Ulbster Arms Hotel. The hotel owns the fishing rights on the adjacent river and sells beats on the river to fishermen for over 1100 pounds a week.

zkSync Era: Production halted on Christmas, more inside
- The latest outage disabled block production for close to five hours.
- This was the second network outage in eight days.
Popular layer-2 (L2) blockchain zkSync Era fixed a network glitch, one that disabled block production for close to five hours, as per an admission by the network developers on social platform X.
Another glitch on zkSync Era
The team stated that one of the network’s automated safety protocols was impacted by a bug in the server. However, the same was fully resolved.
zkSync Era assured its users that a post-mortem report detailing the cause of the outage would be provided soon.
Examining the blockchain’s status page, AMBCrypto noticed an “operational” label against the zkSync Era mainnet. About half-an-hour before this writing, the status was “major outage.”
AMBCrypto found that as per zkSync Era’s block explorer, the last transaction was processed on the 25th of December at 10:53 UTC. Additionally, the last batch submitted to the Ethereum [ETH] network was at 10:53 UTC.
The incident marked the second disruption in operations for zkSync Era in eight days. Block production was last halted on the 16th of December.
zkSync Era puts up a decent performance since launch
Launched earlier in the year, zkSync Era was the first Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible zero-knowledge rollup (zk-rollup) to launch on mainnet.
Since then, it has steadily risen through the ranks, surpassing competitors like Starknet and Polygon zkEVM.
According to AMBCrypto’s analysis of L2Beat data, zkSync Era had the fourth-highest total value locked (TVL) of any Ethereum scaling solution, at around $573 million, at press time.
This equated to a little more than a 3% share of the total funds deposited on L2 networks.
Moreover, the blockchain maintained a decent transaction throughput of 10 transactions per second (TPS) all this while. In fact, it was the fastest Ethereum L2 in the past 24 hours, with a TPS of 14.26.

In a darkly warped near future, lucrative disease cures are brokered on Wall Street’s Genetic Stock Exchange. And the hottest consumer products are artificially synthesized humans that serve as everything from domestic slaves to combatants in savage gladiatorial games. For Jack Saxton, the young heir to genetic design powerhouse Genico Inc., these Synthates are just a fact of life…until the murder of a high-profile genetic scientist leads a pair of seasoned NYPD detectives to Genico’s door.
As a small band of Synthate rebels steps up its attack on the status quo, Jack encounters a pleasure-parlor girl who opens his eyes to their cause. When he dares to sympathize with the rebels, Jack is hunted down and arrested for the murder. Sentenced to die in the brutal games on Bloomberg Island, Jack will be forced to fight—for his life, for the future of all Synthates, and for a chance to uncover the mind-bending secret buried in his past.
Purchased on August 1, 2016 according to Amazon, but i have no memory of why I bought it, I just know that it was the next book on my kindle that wasn’t read yet. Yes, my queue is that far behind, but in my defense, I routinely put other books, movies, and general life stuff ahead of the absolute queue.
There’s a distinct Blade Runner feel to the whole book, but that feeling is uneven and at times convoluted with other story concepts that really don’t fit well with the main story line, at times going in and out of different situations at a jarring speed that had me going back and forth between chapters just to see if I had missed something or not. I don’t think I did, but I honestly think this book was either written by more than just one person, or was adapted from a much shorter story and had side plots added in to pad the length.

STAND. COM. REP. NO. 106-18
RE: H.B. No. 2006
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Ninth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2018
State of Hawaii
Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 2006 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to preserve Front Street Apartments as an affordable rental housing project by authorizing the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation to negotiate with the developers to acquire the property and, if necessary, to acquire the property through exercise of eminent domain.
The Mayor for the County of Maui; a Maui County Councilmember; Oahu County Committee on Legislative Priorities of the Democratic Party; EAH Housing; Faith Action for Community Equity Maui Housing Committee; Ho‘omanapono Political Action Committee; Lāhuiokalani Kā‘anapali Congregational Church; Ka Hale A Ke Ola Homeless Resource Centers, Inc.; Ota Camp Association, Temple Emanu-El; Waiola Church, UCC; Waiahole Community Association; Na Kupuna O Maui; and a few concerned individuals testified in support of this measure. The Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation supported the intent of this measure. The Front Street Affordable Housing Partners testified in opposition to this measure. A concerned individual offered comments.
Your Committee finds that there is a housing shortage in the County of Maui, and that affordable housing is in very limited supply.
Your Committee notes that although the Front Street Apartments currently have one hundred forty-two affordable units, paragraph 2 of section 3 of this measure seeks to retain one hundred forty-one units at affordable rents.
Testifiers expressed differing opinions regarding the costs and benefits of condemning the Front Street Apartments. While condemnation is an option available to the State to keep the Front Street Apartments affordable for current residents, the State's use of eminent domain may reduce developers' willingness to develop affordable housing in the future.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Inserting unspecified dollar values to be appropriated by the State and matched by the county; and
(2) Changing the effective date to January 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2006, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2006, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Labor & Public Employment.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Housing,
TOM BROWER, Chair

Counter-top stools would be the ideal option to put underneath a counter-top overhang, creating a sitting area that is obtainable if needed and simple to tuck out of the way. As need grows, the same is true buscandofotos.com extensive range of counters bar stools. For this reason we have come up with these helpful hints to learn effectively for you to choose counter stools that'll be the right peak and elegance for your house.
Counter-top bar stools are usually 24 in . to 27 inch tall (measured from seat to floor) and are intended for use with counters or counter peak tables that exist 36 in . higher. Keep in mind that you usually want at least 10 inch clearance between the top of the stool and the foot of the table, to allow space for thighs. Counter bar stools are usually used with kitchen area islands, breakfast pubs, counters and collecting furniture.
Keep in mind that there isn't any industry standard for measuring or listing the peak of the counter-top feces. Producers usually appraise the stools peak in one of two methods: the space in the chair to the floor or even the range from the top of the back again from the seat towards the ground. Be sure to check person product descriptions. Be sure you also calculate your personal counter from the top to the floor. When the counter juts out, measure the counter's peak to the bottom of the overhang.
Swiveling counter stools are sensible and convenient, especially if the younger members of the family will be using them regularly. They permit independence of motion while sitting to consume or socialize. Swiveling systems vary from guide to gasoline airlift to storage return.
Counter-top stools with shells resemble standard dining area chairs, but they are typically 6 to 8 inches greater. They are a perfect option if you wish to include comfortable seats to some dining area, family room, rec space, or family room. They're also great for young kids, since the back again will give you additional support, preventing them from tipping in reverse.
Backless counter stools in many cases are considered much more aesthetically pleasing, as there is no chair back to block the view of the stool's general user profile. They are also well suited for places in which a back would conflict by having an overhang. They're also useful for eating spaces which are in leading visitors locations, because the bar stools can be pressed out of the way underneath the counter-top, desk or home bar.
Flexible height counter bar stools are especially helpful if you want to transfer them in one area of your house to another for use with counter tops, bars and kitchen area islands that fluctuate tall. The adjusted chair levels range from 25 in . to 30 inch but make sure to check the specific model you are interested for precise dimensions.
buscandofotos.com carries from classic wood counter-top bar stools to padded counter bar stools to modern counter-top bar stools made from aluminum or perhaps stainless. With a huge range of conventional, transitional and modern styles to choose from, you are bound to discover home and industrial counter-top stools that suit your setting as well as your spending budget.

I made an interesting observation during the credits for Zoe Cassavetes’ Broken English. Hidden deep into the credits within a Special Thanks area is the name Darren Aronofsky. For those of you who are not hip to the film culture, Aronofsky directed Pi, Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain. Why is this weird? Because Aronofsky is a 2007 Sundance Film Festival jury member. Is this a conflict of interest?
To be clear, Aronofsky is one of the judges for the Alfred P. Sloan Prize which carries a $20,000 cash award. While Cassavetes’ film can be be considered it probably won’t qualify. The award is designed to increase the visibility of outstanding independent films on science and technology as well as to showcase the work of emerging filmmakers tackling compelling topics within these fields. Broken English centers on mid-life relationships, and has little to no tech/science substance.
I have nothing against Sundance or Aronofsky (he’s actually one of my favorite directors). And I do understand that personal and professional politics plays into everything in the world.
But it’s an interesting question: Does Sundance check into personal politics of it’s selected jury vs. it’s selected films. Like the Academy Awards or Golden Globes (but to a much much lesser extent) a Sundance Award stamp on a movie’s poster or DVD cover can increase sales and attendance. So it’s not to be taken lightly.
If anyone knows anything about Sundance’s Jury selection policy regarding this I’d be interested to know Please post a comment below or email me at email@example.com.Cool Posts From Around the Web:
