The way Micro Beach has eroded has created a series of mini beaches between the trees. It’s like having your own private beach even when there are other people around!

This is Forbidden Island. Now, I stayed up top at the lookout, but my crazy friend decided that she wanted to take the trail down.

I told her that it was called Forbidden Island for a reason.

I told her that the sign said treacherous trail, dangerous ocean, steep cliffs, slippery rocks, people drown here!

She smiled and said that she wasn’t going to swim just wade a little and look around. She would be fine.

I told her that I would write her a beautiful eulogy.

Thankfully, I do not need to write a beautiful eulogy. My friend returned hot, sweaty, tired, and muddy, but she took some beautiful pictures.

Bird Island is a bird sanctuary. Humans aren’t even allowed to set foot on it! (My friend said that I wasn’t allowed to swim over and take a closer look either even though I’m a stingray, not a human.)

The 5"/25 (127 mm) battery aboard the U.S. Navy battleship USS New Mexico (BB-40) prepares to fire during the bombardment of Saipan, 15 June 1944.
Note the time-fuze setters on the left side of each gun mount, each holding three “fixed” rounds of ammunition; the barrels of 20 mm machine guns at the extreme right; and triple the 14"/50 (34.5 cm) guns in the background.

“I definitely have the eye of the tiger. I’ve fought my way to where I am and will continue to do so. I’m a hard worker - I get it from my family. We only know work. Nothing was handed to us. When I believe in something, I go after it. It’s very hard to tell me ‘no.’”

“I realized that true beauty is what’s inside and accepting myself for who I am.”

Dinah Jane Milika Ilaisaane Hansen Amasio known as Dinah Jane Hansen (b. June 22, 1997) is a member of the band Fifth Harmony. She is the youngest in the music group.

Born and raised in Orange County, CA, Dinah is of Polynesian heritage, specifically Tongan. She has stated that her mother remembers the first time she heard her sing “Happy Birthday” at only 4 years of age. She sang the National Anthem in public at age 7 in Sacramento, California. Since then she has been singing at various events in Orange County. She was introduced to music producers and songwriters, including Pacific Big Dave Icon Management Group (PIMG), Kennedy Mailo, Trey Smoov, MsBrown, and Baby J. Hansen, and sang songs of her idols Beyoncé, Leona Lewis, Mariah Carey, and Etta James. Dinah has been said to be similar to Beyoncé due to her having a powerful voice.

Dinah auditioned for The X Factor with the song If I Were A Boy by Beyoncé. L.A. Reid said that she took the song to places that even Beyoncé didn’t, which is a massive compliment. If the star Dinah can outshine even Beyoncé there is no telling what she can do next.

Ever wonder what our Polynesian ancestors looked like? Well meet Mana…a woman believed to be a part of the Lapita era, progenitors of the Polynesians. The face of Mana was reconstructed using a model of her skull which was discovered by a member of a research team from USP and the Fiji Museum which excavated an early human settlement at Naitabale in the south of Moturiki Island , central Fiji in 2002.

This is the first time that the skull of a Lapita-era skeleton had been so well preserved that it was possible to faithfully reconstruct the head. This therefore represents the first time that the face of a person from the Lapita era (1350 BC to 650 BC) has ever been seen. It is the face of one of the very first people to have lived in the Fiji Islands .

Her skeleton was determined to be that of a female who had died between the ages of 40 and 60 years. She appeared to have been 161-164 cm tall and to have given birth to at least one child. She was probably right-handed. Mana’s body would have been tall, muscular and tough. Like other Lapita-age skeletons, Mana’s body was adapted to heavy mastication, and strenuous physical activity involving the neck, arms and feet. The roots of Mana’s teeth were stained brown, perhaps from chewing roots of kava. The results suggested that Mana lived in the year 800 BC, perhaps earlier.

The Lapita people were the first humans to colonise the western tropical Pacific Islands . They remain visible as a distinctive cultural group for only a few hundred years, starting about 1350 BC in the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea and ending about 650 BC in Fiji , Samoa and Tonga . Around the beginning of this period, from bases in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands , they set out eastwards on intentional voyages of colonisation. They encountered groups of islands ( New Caledonia , Vanuatu , Fiji , Tonga and Samoa ) that were not occupied by humans.
