Culture
- Tonga is an archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean located between Hawaii and New Zealand, consisting of 176 islands divided into three main groups, with the largest being Tongatapu which contains the capital city of Nukualofa.
- The islands have a tropical climate suitable for growing crops and the people rely on both agriculture and fishing as their main livelihoods. Traditional artforms like mat weaving and tattooing remain an important part of Tongan culture.
Tonga
Tonga offers many attractions for visitors including its royal cemetery. The culture of Tonga has evolved over 3000 years of inhabitation, with the local people originally speaking Tongan and having frequent contact with neighboring islands. Traditional Tongan cuisine focuses on staples like taro, yams, bananas and coconut, along with raw shellfish, though Western influence has introduced new foods. In pre-contact times, Tongan women's roles centered around childrearing, gathering shellfish, and weaving barkcloth and mats that were important for cultural exchanges. The document encourages the reader to visit Tonga to experience its attractions and culture firsthand.

George Fale Turner introduces himself and shares that he will provide interesting facts about Tonga. Some key facts are:
- Tonga was one of the earliest Polynesian settlements and has always been a monarchy ruled by a king or queen.
- Tonga has around 170 islands spread over 70,000 square kilometers of ocean. The main island is Tongatapu, where the capital of Nuku'alofa is located.
- Tonga remains a constitutional monarchy today, currently ruled by King Tupou VI, maintaining its culture and traditions.
My culture
The document describes the geography and attractions of Tonga. It states that Tonga consists of 170 islands divided into three main island groups: Tongatapu, Ha'apai, and Vava'u. Tongatapu is where the capital of Nuku'alofa is located and features traditional dancing and food. Ha'apai has white sandy beaches while Vava'u is known for yachting, kayaking, and whale watching. The climate is subtropical with cooler temperatures from May to December due to southeast trade winds.
Easter island
The people of Easter Island live in small wooden houses built with timber imported from Chile and New Zealand. They get their water from pipes and have showers in their homes or at the beach. Their diet consists of foods like yam, lobster, chicken, sweet potatoes, fish, and poi made from taro. The indigenous people are Polynesian and the population declined dramatically from an original 15,000 to just 2,000 by 1722, though it has since rebounded to around 5,800 currently. In 2007, 50,000 tourists visited the island each year to see the large moai statues carved from stone that still remain a mystery as to how they were constructed.

Easter Island appears regularly at the scientific papers, because of its particular characteristics as an extremely isolated small world, and the huge potential it has to study its colonization, the rise and the demise of its native population and its ecology. For me it is a special pleasure to write about it, because I was a visitor of Easter Island and am still impressed about what I saw and learned there.

Reading Article: Disappear of the vanishing island"
An island called Maziwi off the coast of Tanzania has disappeared without a trace. Maziwi was home to endangered green turtles and had palm trees and white sand beaches. When a conservation expert from IUCN visited where the island had been, he found only a tiny sand bar remained. He described the vanishing of the island as a "catastrophe". Locals may have been reluctant to discuss what happened due to a superstition that the island's disappearance signaled the end of the world. The expert speculates that fishermen dynamiting coral reefs and vegetation removal left the island vulnerable to being washed away by strong monsoon winds.
Voyages maisarah
People go on voyages for reasons like lack of food and land, earning more money, or seeking a better life elsewhere. Captain Cook made early European contact with New Zealand in 1769, discovering the east coast and naming locations. Sea creatures also make voyages, sometimes to avoid areas being used or polluted by humans or to migrate between warm and cold waters. Grey whales migrate over 20,000 km between feeding grounds in the Arctic and breeding grounds in Mexico.

Easter Island
Easter Island is a remote volcanic island inhabited by the Rapa Nui people who built massive stone statues. The island has few natural resources and no trees due to deforestation. When discovered by Jacob Roggeveen in 1722, the Rapa Nui population was in decline and their civilization had collapsed, likely due to overconsumption of limited resources and resulting environmental damage preventing escape. The island is now a territory of Chile and lessons can be learned from the Rapa Nui people about maintaining a sustainable way of life.

More than 150 miles of National Trust coastline in Devon and Cornwall are at risk of erosion from rising sea levels in the coming decades. This includes Woo Lacombe Beach in North Devon and Man Sands in South Devon. With over half of the world's population living near coastlines, environmental damage from development, urban expansion, and tourism poses a serious threat. The Needles rock formations on the Isle of Wight have also experienced erosion over time, evidenced by their different colors and the lighthouse eventually falling into the sea.

On October 28, 2015, a group of scientists from Otago University's Department of Physics observed the last sunset of the year in Antarctica to research why Antarctic ice is growing while Arctic ice is shrinking. They believe supercooled water below the ice keeps it cold and allows it to grow, reaching record heights over the past three years. The scientists are using heated water to melt through the ice and take measurements with 16 instruments in order to understand why the ice is thickening instead of thinning with global warming.

Staff at Auckland Zoo were excited to witness the hatching of two North island brown kiwi chicks from four eggs they received, though sadly one egg did not hatch successfully. The mother of one chick and another living chick were part of the zoo's Nest Egg Bird programme. Kiwis progress through four stages at the zoo - egg, caretaking, breeding, and enclosure - and while still developing, the hatched chicks were pink with long feathers. In the wild, kiwi eggs face many predators, so the zoo provides protection for the endangered birds.

On October 28, 2015, a group of scientists from Otago University's Department of Physics observed the last sunset of the year in Antarctica to research why Antarctic sea ice has reached record heights for the past three years while Arctic ice is shrinking. They used heated water to melt through 2.3 meters of ice and deployed 16 instruments to measure the ice, hypothesizing that supercooled water below the ice keeps it cold, in an effort to understand why the ice behavior contradicts expectations of thinning under global warming.
samoan food
Samoans commonly eat banana leaves and taro that are cooked in traditional methods. Banana leaves are fried in pans over fires and eaten mostly for breakfast. Taro, a root vegetable, is cooked in umu, which are earth ovens that use pits in the ground to trap heat and steam foods. Umu are one of the simplest and most ancient cooking structures and have been used widely in past cultures.
Copy of samoa
Samoan culture is based on communal living and has three main parts: faith, family, and music. Traditional Samoan artwork includes siapo, which are decorative tapa cloths made from bark and featuring designs of fish, turtles, or hibiscus flowers. While originating in Samoa, the making of siapo has also spread to other Pacific islands.
Samoan food
Samoan cuisine features dishes like green bananas with coconut cream, beef with vermicelli noodles, and coconut cream with fish. Common alternate foods include canned corned beef and fish. Special foods center around whole fish, chicken, or pig that are cooked for celebrations or gatherings.
Samoa
Samoa is a group of nine islands in the South Pacific ocean known for its beauty. Most Samoans grow and catch their own food using traditional methods like fishing and cooking in an underground oven, as supermarkets are scarce. Samoan culture is expressed through beautiful artwork featuring dark colors and patterns, and through traditional dances like the slap dance, clap dance, and fire dance. Daily life in Samoa involves building stick-and-leaf houses called fales, and children attend school to learn subjects like math, social sciences, and English, even while living on islands.
Samoan culture
The document discusses Samoan culture, including various art forms such as dance, dress, sport, and religion. It focuses on traditional tapa cloth, an art form unique to Samoa and other Pacific islands, made by pounding bark from mulberry or breadfruit trees into cloth and decorating it with patterns through techniques like rubbing, stamping, and dyeing. Tap cloth remains an important part of Samoan cultural identity.
Samoa animals
There are several unique animal species found in Samoa that cannot be found elsewhere. These include the Flying Fox bat, which lives in Samoa, Fiji and American Samoa and weighs around 450 grams with a 0.86 meter wingspan, feeding on fruit, leaves and nectar. The Frasers Dolphin grows to 2.75 meters and 200 kg as an adult after being born at 1 meter and 20 kg, with small flippers and fins relative to its body and diet of fish, shrimp and squid. Mesophlodont whales reach 3.9-6.2 meters, have a small dorsal fin and narrow flippers, and feed solely on squids while also being bitten by cookiecut

Ww1 map of gallipoli
The Battle of Gallipoli was a World War I campaign fought on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey between Allied forces from Britain, France, and their dominions against the Ottoman Empire. Intending to secure a sea route to Russia, the Allies launched a naval attack followed by amphibious landings, but the naval attack was repelled and the eight-month land campaign ended in heavy casualties on both sides, forcing the Allies to withdraw. The failed Gallipoli campaign is commemorated annually in Australia and New Zealand on April 25th and was an important event in developing a sense of national identity in those countries.
Bees
This document provides facts about bees, including honey bees, worker bees, and queen bees. It discusses how honey bees have long provided humans with honey and wax from their hives. Worker bees make hives to store food throughout the winter. The queen bee is the largest bee in the hive and her pheromone output diminishes as she ages. The document concludes by thanking the viewer for learning about how bees build their hives and find food.
Bee project
A beehive can contain around 366 honeycombs. Each honeycomb holds approximately 50 millilitres of honey and measures 0.9 centimetres long. Bees obtain 0.2 millilitres of nectar from each flower they visit. Knowing the number of honeycombs per hive helps determine how much honey the hive produces.
Bee predators
Bees have developed defenses against their natural predators like hornets, wasps, and birds. Against hornets and wasps, bees swarm the attackers and raise their body heat to over 117 degrees Fahrenheit, effectively cooking the intruders alive. When faced with birds, bees are vulnerable during takeoff and landing, so birds swoop in to catch bees in mid-air for food. While seen as sweet, birds also kill bees and other insects.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
