Fiji, a country and an archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean, comprises 333 islands and 522 smaller islets (SPC 2008, p.1). Around 106 of these islands are permanently inhabited with the total estimated population of 900,000 (UNDP 2015). An estimate of 49% of the total population live in the rural areas (UNDP 2015), while around 90% of the population in Fiji live in the coastal lowlands area (Nunn et al. 1993). Fiji has a total land area of 18,274 km2, of which 87% is accounted for the two largest islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu (Leslie and Ratukalou 2006). Around 9% of the total land area is arable land suitable for agricultural purposes. Source: Maps of the World 2016.

While attending SUVA I want to surround myself in the company of other artists who are just as passionate about their work as I am. I want to be inspired to be an overall better person and encourage others to do the same. My goal is to step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself. Even if I fail, I can learn to improve where I have previously been unsuccessful. I want to prove to myself that I can accomplish anything if I put my mind and heart to it. Art is more than just a hobby. It is a…

The competence-based education is believed to be the most effective when stressing the importance of enforcing laws that are morally right. The goal of competence-based police education is to reach a point that the student is competent to perform the duties asked of him/her without question (Suva, 2012). Again, the problem that police organizations keep facing is how to teach ethics in general. As a community, do we want police to perform ethically or only wish they would? In other words, do we…

As she took her last breath, as her spirit left her body, I gently placed her in the rear of my new car, and drove off into the cool October night; I disposed of the evidence in the only water hazard in Bell Gardens Golf Course. Sure, they’d find it eventually, but by then I’ll be long gone. The woman’s frantic voice was garbled, as the reception in the trunk of the gray honda civic was less than ideal. “Help!” she whispered, “He’s kidnapped me, and I don’t know where he is…
