Scenes from the 2012 Kauai Sand Festival on the beach at Hanalei Bay
The Kauai Sand Festival is a one day sand castle/sculpting contest and music festival held each year on Kauai. The idea is to encourage amazing sand sculpture, relaxation, exercise and enjoying the beach.
It is totally non-profit and under the auspices of INCF.org which is a 501(c)(3) and able to take donations. All prizes large and small are awarded by judges to the top sculptures and as many kids as possible.
Prizes can be anything like a slice of pizza, a scoop of ice cream, coupons, gift certificates, something that your business sells or even a yacht :) All money and prizes go to the contest and none to the organizers. For a list of this year's winners and photos of all the sand creations, visit:

The Hōkūle'a: Indigenous Resurgence from Hawai'i to Mannahatta
Copresented by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU and The New School
In the summer of 2016, the Hawaiian voyaging canoe Hōkūle‘a will be arriving to New York City—Lenape Territory—as a part of its worldwide voyage called Mālama Honua (to care for our earth). The Hōkūle‘a uses no modern navigational instruments, but instead ongoing Hawaiian creative practices that read the sun, moon, stars, clouds, winds, waves, and the patterns of a diversity of nonhuman species to find their way. The voyage is a part of a global movement for the resurgence of Indigenous knowledges, languages, and land-based practices that are ever needed in the production of alternative futures for this historical moment. This symposium, which took place on Thursday, March 31, 2016, was a means to think through possibilities existent when Indigenous “subjugated knowledges” chart new epistemes for the twenty-first century.
Panel 2 was hosted by New York University and featured Na'alehu Anthony (The Polynesia Voyaging Society), J. Kēhaulani Kauanui (Wesleyan University), Steven T. Newcomb (Indigenous Law Institute), and was moderated by Dean Saranillio (NYU Department of Social & Cultural Analysis).

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.
