Kauai is without question Hawaii's hidden gem, and one of the most remarkably gorgeous destinations in all of the Pacific.
I have to give a huge thank you to the Kauai Visitors Bureau for hosting, and to McNeil Wilson Communications for putting together a brilliant itinerary.

For my next research question, I wanted to dig deeper into the new fitness fad. I want to know if this is really about changing lifestyles or if it is all about getting popular on social media sites. I know I follow some people on social media that posts workouts and healthy recipes, but is it really to help people or is it all about getting 'likes' and 'followers'. I would have to do some research to see if America has made a healthy change, but I am just not sure if if this whole fitness fad is all about fitting in or making a difference in their lives. So, my question is, is this fitness fad really making a difference or is it all about getting popular?

Insurance Questions, low cost term life insurance, cheap term life insurance, cheapest life insurance
The average person wants the cheap term life insurance and they want all the coverage they can get at that price; however, if you do not understand the differences in policy coverage that you may be getting the short end of the stick. Insurance can be a rather dry subject that no one really wants to understand they just want to know that they covered. The lowest premiums do not mean that the insurance is inferior and the highest premiums do not mean that you will have the coverage that need for a particular situation.
KILLED BY A TRAMCAR.
TRAGIC ACCIDENT IN SYMONDS-STREET
Death came with terrible suddenness to a young painter's employee named William Gooch this morning. A Kingsland tramcar upon which he was riding was stopping at the corner of Khyber Pass, and he stood on the front step to alight. Just before the car stopped altogether, Gooch grasped the front upright with both hands, put one foot on the ground, swung around violently, and was thrown in front of the car and crushed to death before it was realised that an accident had happened. The terrible affair was so wholly unexpected that for a moment the scores of persons around the busy corner hardly knew what to do first. The mangled body of the poor youth could be seen underneath the wheels of the leading truck, and it was evident at a glance that no help, could be of avail in saving his life. However, jacks were quickly secured and the car raised so that the body could be removed. II was examined by Dr. Moir and Dr. tyrant, both, of whom happened to be on the spot, and was then taken to the Morgue.
Mr A. Denby, chemist, whose shop is immediately opposite the stopping-place where the fatality occurred, witnessed the accident as far as it could be seen from the car. He was behind Gooch, and intended to alight after him. He saw the lad grasp the front stanchion with both hands, put one foot on the ground just before the car ceased to move, and then suddenly disappear, being swung around like a piece of rope right in front of the car. With some other passengers Mr. Denby gave a shout of warning to the motorman, who had grasped the situation as rapidly as anyone and had instantly applied the emergency brake. The car only moved a couple of yards afterwards.
What happened to the unfortunate youth after he disappeared from the sight of Mr Denby is described by one of his assistants, who watched the tragic incident from the pavement. The assistant states that the deceased's hands were crossed in awkward fashion upon the upright stanchion, and instead of dropping to the ground first upon his right foot and instantly releasing his hold he clung to the stanchion, his left foot dragged along the ground, and he was thrown right across the track beneath the wheels. The first wheel seemed to catch his head and drag him further beneath the wheels, and the second wheel passed over his body. He must have been killed instantly, the spectator concluded.
It was ten-minutes before the jacks had raised the car sufficiently to release the body, and it was at once removed to the Morgue, as death, had mercifully come the instant after the incident happened. It was a terrible shock to those around to realise that the active young fellow just reaching imanhood had been cut off so tragically without:the slightest warning, and in a most unexpected manner. It was generally agreed that nobody, save perhaps the deceased, was in the slightest degree to blame for the accident, and even Gooch could hardly be blamed, active as he was, for attempting to alight from the car immediately opposite the stopping-place when its pace was so slow. Gooch has a widowed mother living in Khyber Pass, and he was between 15 and 16 years of age. He was employed by Mr Marter, painter, of Mount Roskill road.
THE MOTORMAN'S STORY.
Motorman T. Green, who was in charge of the car upon which Gooch travelled, reports that when the car was within a, length of the stoppingplace at the top of Symonds-street at 8.25 a.m., during the journey to town, his attention was drawn to the hurried way in which a passenger, the deceased, attempted to dismount. The motorman was occupied with his duties, but as soon as he saw the way in which Gooch rushed off the platform he felt that an accident was possible, and applied the emergency brake. He does not think the deceased had a good grip of the stanchion of the car, for he lunged straight in front. "He went like a flash is Green's description of the manner in which the unfortunate boy disappeared beneath the car. The car was pulled up within the space of six feet.
A POINT TO BE CLEARED.
It is customary on many electric tramway installations to provide. a kind of lattice-work shelf, which hangs a few inches clear of the rails. In front of the car an iron rod is suspended from side to side just clear of the ground, and when this is hit by an obstruction the lattice guard falls to the ground, and the obstruction, is scooped up. Thus there is little danger of a person being crushed by the motor easing or the wheels. Whether the car concerned in the accident was fitted up in this manner, or whether such a precaution would have prevented the fatality, is a point which will no doubt be cleared up at the inquest.
A PECULIAR DREAM.
A woman employed at the Park Hotel early this morning informed her mistress of a peculiar dream she.had during the night, which coincides strongly with the tram fatality which occurred some hours later. In her dream she saw a man run over by a car and picked up with his head and an arm missing. She saw him taken away in a.cart by a policeman of whose face she retained a vivid impression. After she had narrated her dreamy she saw a police constable going past in a cart, and exclaimed, "That is the policeman I saw in my dream." It was afterwards found that, this cart contained the body of the youth Gooch, who was killed by a car in Symonds-street this morning.

THE TRAM FATALITY.
CORONER'S INQUIRY.
UTILITY OF LIFE-GUARDS,
QUESTIONS FROM THE JURY.
The inquest in connection with yesterday's tramway fatality in Symonds street was held at the Criterion Hotel this morning before Mr. T. Gresham, coroner. Mr. T. Cotter represented Mot.oman Greene, who was in charge of the car at the time of the accident, and Sergeant Kelly appeared for the police.
Leslie Connelly, a chemist's assistant, gave evidence of identification. He said the deceased's name was William Aaron Gooch, and he was 15 last birthday. He was employed as a painter, and was a quiet steady lad. Witness saw the accident from the door of Mr. Denby's shop. The deceased was in front of a combination car, and Mr. Denby was behind him. He grasped the perpendicular bar in front of the car with both hands, which were crossed, and put one foot on the ground. Instantly he was swung around and fell flat upon his back clean across the rail in front of the car. The front wheel went over him at once and dragged him further beneath the car.
In reply to the Coroner, Connelly said there was no crushing to get off the car. The deceased was standing on the step, and the car had nearly stopped when he attempted to alight. It was pulled up within two yards.
Sergeant Kelly: Was there any guard in front of the car?
Witness: No. There was some iron coming down; I think it was the sandpipe. There was no life-guard to prevent him going under.
By Mr Cotter: Witness did not attribute any blame to the motorman, who was attending to his duties, and could not have seen the deceased. The car seemed to be travelling at about four miles an hour when the deceased fell off, and it stopped in the space of nine feet. If the deceased had released his hold of the stanchion and stepped off he would have alighted safely.
In reply to a juror, the witness said he could not tell whether there, was a wheel-guard, if not a life-guard, fitted to the ear. A juror remarked that it was another ease illustrating the danger of getting off a car while in motion.
Mr Cotter said it was a singular coincidence that on the morning of the fatality a cartoon appeared in the "New Zealand Graphic" relating to the method adopted to stop the practice in Berlin, where the police had found printed regulations quite unavailing, and had issued pictures showing a passenger before and after alighting while cars were in motion, the latter demonstrating the unpleasant consequences of the practice.
Dr. Girdler, who was called to the scene of the accident, said he arrived as the tram was being lifted off the body. When the deceased was pulled out he was quite dead. The witness described the deceased's terrible injuries, these including the fracture of his skull and the fracture of all the limbs. Death, he considered, must have been instantaneous. The wounds on the head would have alone been sufficient to cause death.
William George Denby, chemist, said he was travelling on the same car as the deceased from Kingsland, and they reached the top of Symonds-street about 8.35. The deceased stepped in front of him and down upon the step as he prepared to alight. He was on the left step, and held the stanchion with his left hand, the arm being right across the body. As soon as the deceased's left foot touched the ground he was swung round instantly, with his right arm thrown into the air. Witness tried to save him, but the accident happened too quickly, and he was unsuccessful.
Mr Denby said he did not notice on this car the lattice life-guard sometimes seen on the cars.
The Coroner remarked that it seemed the deceased swung sideways under the wheels, and if there had been a bodycatcher it could not have acted.
A Juror: It might have pushed him away.
Bertrand James Dingle, electrician, who saw the accident from the street, agreed with Mr Denby's version.
He was questioned by a juror with regard to the lifeguard. "Do you think a lifeguard would have caught him?" the juror asked.
Witness: I really do think so. If that curved lattice work had been there it would have caught him, because he was thrown flat under the car.
The Coroner: How far under the cars do these extend? Do you think they would touch a person alighting on the side?
The witness could not give a definite reply, but a juror said the rail which controliled the release of the catcher was supposed to extend six inches beyond each rail.
Dingle said that he thought this should have caught the deceased, because he fell in front of the car.
The Coroner said an official ought to be secured to detail the construction of the car.
The juror. Yes, but we want to know how this car was constructed, or how it should have been.
Witness: I cannot say there was no lifeguard on the car.
A Juror: It there had been he would have been thrown clear.
Mr Mickwell Carey, electrical engineer to the Auckland Electrical Tramway Co., was sent for at the request of the Coroner. His evidence was that No. 30, the car concerned in the accident, had no lifeguard fitted to it.
The Coroner: Is there usually a lifeguard?
Mr Carey replied that the cars in use had to pass the English Board of Trade requirements, and this included the provision of a lifeguard. The approved form of lifeguard had been found useless on the macadamised roads of Auckland, as they wrecked themselves by doubling up as soon as they struck the uneven surface of the road. In England the streets were mostly blocked or asphalted, and the lifeguard slid along easily, but it was impossible to get them to work satisfactorily where there were small stones on the surface, as the lifeguard doubled up. Every time they experimented with the lifeguards they were wrecked, and they had had to keep five men repairing them. The company had taken them off some cars and they were experimenting to provide a more effective method. They had three designs under consideration, and particulars would be put before the City Council. In America on macadamised roads they used a projecting basket-work fender, but in New Zealand they worked under the English Board of Trade regulations, and this was not allowed. Personally, he approved of the cow-catcher design, by means of which obstructions would be thrown sideways off the line.
Mr Cotter mentioned that in a recent fatality in Victoria-street it was shown that the car had a lifeguard, which doubled up and the body followed.
Mr Carey added that Green, the motorman, was a first-class man for carefulness and steadiness.
Theophilus Green, the motorman, said the emergency brake was applied as the youth fell, but the distance to be travelled was only a few feet when the wheels would reach him.
The jury found that death was accidental. They added the following rider: "That as the present lifeguards are unworkable, the Tramway Company be requested to expedite the firing of the new lifeguards to their cars."

Lead tin alloy, burnt gorse branch, hand mirrors, slate, and audio
These tin objects were cast during a series of molybdomancy performance rituals where molten metal is thrown into water and the shadows of shapes are interpreted. Our alchemical rituals connect histories of tin mining on Dartmoor with questions about uncertain ecological futures. Traces of tin reveal layers of history, memory, ecology and mythology, which are carried in the alluvial deposits on the moors.
