| shisha, tasty. Hakim Abu’l-Fatḥ Gīlānī, an Iranian physician at the court of the Mughal emperor Akbar I (1542 - 1605 AD) invented the idea of the Hooka. Following the European introduction of tobacco to India, Hakim Abul Fateh Gilani moved to India where he became a physician in the court of Mughal and raised concerns after smoking tobacco became popular among Indian noblemen. He subsequently envisaged a system which allowed smoke to be passed through water in order to be 'purified'. Giving us the Hooka. |

| Melbourne Central, The Shot tower - In a shot tower, lead is heated until molten, then dropped through a copper sieve high up in the tower. The liquid lead solidifies as it falls and by surface tension forms tiny spherical balls. The partially cooled balls are caught at the floor of the tower in a water-filled basin. These were used for firearm bullets. |

Thoughts
Our new home, Melbourne. Have you ever just known that everything is right, just by the way it feels? Change gives way to some amazing possibilities, the chance to get out of old habits, create great new goals and push those comfort zones! Running full speed without any real direction, scary but worth it. Being young is the opportunity of your lifetime, if you waste it it's gone and sitting on your porch when you're old and done the last thing you want to be thinking about is the chances gone walking. It's easy to sit and tell people about all the exciting things you have planned out...The challenge is giving those ideas every chance possible to thrive, listen to everybody, learn as much as you can fill yourself with...especially from those who have lived the long years...that's one thing that I have missed from passed relatives, don't miss it too.
