query: Sheds can be open-sided and wood-framed.

pos: Shed A shed is typically a simple , single-storey roofed structure in a back garden or on an allotment that is used for storage , hobbies , or as a workshop . Sheds vary considerably in the complexity of their construction and their size , from small open-sided tin-roofed structures to large wood-framed sheds with shingled roofs , windows , and electrical outlets . Sheds used on farms or in industry can be large structures . The main types of shed construction are metal sheathing over a metal frame , plastic sheathing and frame , all-wood construction ( the roof may be asphalt shingled or sheathed in tin ) , and vinyl-sided sheds built over a wooden frame .   A culture of shed enthusiasts exists in several countries for people who enjoy building sheds and spending time in them for relaxation . In Australia and New Zealand there are magazines called The Shed , an association for shed hobbyists ( the Australian Men 's Shed Association ) , and a book entitled Men and Sheds .

neg: English barn The English barn , or three bay barn , is a barn style that was most popular in the northeast region of the USA , but are the most widespread barn type in America . This barn type is , with the New World Dutch barn the oldest type and has been called the '' ... grandfather of the American barn . '' New barns in this style were constructed for over a century , from the 1770s through the 1900s .

neg: Bressummer A bressummer , breastsummer , summer beam ( somier , sommier , sommer , somer , cross-somer , summer , summier , summer-tree , or dorman , dormant tree ) are load bearing beams in a timber framed building . The word summer derived from sumpter or French sommier , `` a pack horse `` , meaning `` bearing great burden or weight `` . `` To support a superincumbent wall '' , `` any beast of burden '' , and in this way is similar to a wall plate .   The use and definition of these terms vary but generally a bressummer is a jetty sill and a summer is an interior beam supporting ceiling joists , see below :   ( U. K. ) In the outward part of the building , and the middle floors ( not in the garrets or ground floors ) into which the girders are framed . In the inner parts of a building , such beams are called `` summers '' . It is part of the timber frame construction in the over-hanging upper story in jettying .  ( U. K. ) `` Horizontal beam over a fireplace opening ( alternatively lintel , mantel beam ) , or set forward from the lower part of a building to support a jettied wall , a jetty bressummer '' .  ( U. K. ) '' ... usually the sill of the upper wall above a jetty ; otherwise any beam spanning an opening and supporting a wall above . '' also called a `` jetty sill '' .  ( U. K. ) Breastsummer is a beam in a wall which carries the load over a large opening derived from breast being in the front , mid-level and summer : `` A horizontal , bearing beam in a building ; spec . the main beam supporting the girders or joists of a floor ... '' .  `` a main piece of timber that supports a building , an architrave between two pillars ``  `` Breast-Summer , an architectural term for a beam employed like a lintel to support the front of a building , is a corruption of bressumer ... ''  ( U.S.A. ) `` Summer beam : A large timber spanning a room and supporting smaller floor joists on both sides . ''  ( U.S.A. ) `` Summer beam . Heavy main horizontal beam , anchored in gable foundation walls , that supports forebay beams and barn frame above . ''

neg: Carport A carport is a covered structure used to offer limited protection to vehicles , primarily cars , from rain and snow . The structure can either be free standing or attached to a wall . Unlike most structures a carport does not have four walls , and usually has one or two . Carports offer less protection than garages but allow for more ventilation . In particular , a carport prevents frost on the windshield .  A `` mobile '' and/or `` enclosed '' carport has the same purpose as a standard carport but may be removed/relocated and is typically framed with tubular steel and may have canvas or vinyl type covering which encloses the complete frame including walls and may have an accessible front entry or open entryway not typically attached to any structure or fastened in place by permanent means put held in place by stakes and is differentiated from a tent by main purpose to house vehicles and/or motorized equipment and a tent is to shelter people .

neg: Wood fibre Wood fibres ( also spelled wood fibers , see spelling differences ) are usually cellulosic elements that are extracted from trees and used to make materials including paper .   The end paper product ( paper , paperboard , tissue , cardboard , etc. ) dictates the species , or species blend , that is best suited to provide the desirable sheet characteristics , and also dictates the required fibre processing ( chemical treatment , heat treatment , mechanical `` brushing '' or refining , etc. ) .   In North America , virgin ( non-recycled ) wood fibre is primarily extracted from hardwood ( deciduous ) trees and softwood ( coniferous ) trees . The wood fibre can be extracted as a primary product , or collected during the milling of lumber . Wood fibres can also be recycled from used paper materials .

neg: Post-and-plank The method of building wooden buildings with a traditional timber frame with horizontal plank or log infill has many names , the most common of which are piece sur piece ( French . Also used to describe log building ) , corner post construction , post-and-plank , standerbohlenbau ( German ) and skiftesverk ( Swedish ) . This traditional building method is believed to be the predecessor to half-timber construction widely known by its German name fachwerkbau which has wall infill of wattle and daub , brick , or stone . This carpentry was used from parts of Scandinavia to Switzerland to western Russia . Though relatively rare now , two types are found in a number of regions in North America , more common are the walls with planks or timbers which slide in a groove in the posts and less common is a type where horizontal logs are tenoned into individual mortises in the posts . This method is not the same as the plank-frame buildings in North America with vertical plank walls .

neg: Penetrant (mechanical, electrical, or structural) Penetrants , or penetrating items , are the mechanical , electrical or structural items that pass through an opening in a wall or floor , such as pipes , electrical conduits , ducting , cables and cable trays , or structural steel beams and columns . When these items pierce a wall or floor assembly , they create a space between the penetrant and the surrounding structure , which can become an avenue for the spread of fire between rooms or floors . Modern building codes generally require a service penetration firestop to seal the openings around penetrants ( or `` services '' ) , in order to restore the fire-resistance rating of the parent assembly .   Sizing of all openings has significant impact upon the adherence to the certification listing requirements . Therefore , communication between all affected trades is of great importance before any openings are made , to ensure proper sizing of the openings for cost control and conformance with listing and approval use and compliance .   Penetrants are typically accommodated by plumbers and electricians , who prepare for them by installing sleeves in concrete walls and floors , before they are poured . In the case of masonry walls , electricians and plumbers tend to be there first and hang sleeves around their piping , ductwork and conduit , where they know from their drawings that block walls will be erected , in order to avoid the time and expense of having to cut openings in existing walls and floors .   In the case of drywall assemblies , the opening size is determined by the drywall contractor , unless the mechanical and electrical trades are contractually obliged to provide sleeving here as well , with proper fastening methods that are in conformance with the certification listing . It is not uncommon for these trades to attempt to absolve themselves of the requirement to firestop their openings in the drywall assemblies by claiming that they were there first , meaning that others should take care of the rest . Since drywall contractors are not ordinarily required to do mechanical and electrical firestopping , the drywall openings can become an item of dispute or neglect , particularly in North American construction . This common issue can be minimised by designating a separate firestopping sub-contract , whereby a separate speciality sub-contractor firestops all openings on site , mechanical , electrical and structural , as well as the building joints .   Timber floor openings are simply cut by means of a chainsaw . In this case , the width of the blade will determine sizes .

neg: Timber framing Timber framing and `` post-and-beam '' construction are methods of building with heavy timbers ( posts and beams ) rather than dimensional lumber such as 2x4s . Traditional timber framing is the method of creating structures using heavy squared-off and carefully fitted and joined timbers with joints secured by large wooden pegs ( larger versions of the mortise and tenon joints in furniture ) . It is commonplace in wooden buildings from the 19th century and earlier . The method comes from making things out of logs and tree trunks without modern high tech saws to cut lumber from the starting material stock . Hewing with broadaxes , adzes , and draw knives and using hand-powered braces and augers ( brace and bit ) and other laborious woodworking , artisans or framers could gradually assemble a building capable of bearing heavy weight without excessive use of interior space given over to vertical support posts . Since this building method has been used for thousands of years in many parts of the world , many styles of historic framing have developed . These styles are often categorized by the type of foundation , walls , how and where the beams intersect , the use of curved timbers , and the roof framing details . Three basic types of timber frames in English-speaking countries are the box frame , cruck frame , and aisled frame .

neg: Deciduous Deciduous means `` falling off at maturity '' or `` tending to fall off '' , and it is typically used in order to refer to trees or shrubs that lose their leaves seasonally ( most commonly during autumn ) and to the shedding of other plant structures such as petals after flowering or fruit when ripe . In a more general sense , deciduous means `` the dropping of a part that is no longer needed '' or `` falling away after its purpose is finished '' . In plants it is the result of natural processes . `` Deciduous '' has a similar meaning when referring to animal parts , such as deciduous antlers in deer , deciduous teeth , also known as baby teeth , in some mammals ( including humans ) ; or decidua , the uterine lining that sheds off after birth .

neg: Dollhouse A dollhouse or doll 's house is a toy home made in miniature . For the last century , dollhouses have primarily been the domain of children but their collection and crafting is also a hobby for many adults . The term dollhouse is used commonly in the United States and Canada . In the UK ( United Kingdom ) the term dolls ' house or dollshouse is used .   Today 's dollhouses trace their history back about four hundred years to the baby house display cases of Europe , which showed idealized interiors . Smaller dollhouses with more realistic exteriors appeared in Europe in the 18th century . Early dollhouses were all handmade , but following the Industrial Revolution and World War II , they were increasingly mass-produced and became more standardized and affordable . Dollhouses can range from simple boxes stacked together used as rooms for play , up to multimillion-dollar structures displayed in museums .   Contemporary children 's play dollhouses are mostly in 1:18 ( or 2/3 '' ) scale , while 1:12 ( or 1 '' ) scale is common for dollhouses made for adult collectors .

neg: Wood End There are several places called Wood End .

neg: Garrison (architecture) A garrison is an architectural style of house , typically two stories with the second story overhanging in the front . The traditional ornamentation is four carved drops ( pineapple , strawberry or acorn shape ) below the overhang . Garrisons usually have an exterior chimney at the end . Older versions have casement windows with small panes of glass , while later versions have double-hung windows . The second-story windows often are smaller than those on the first floor . Dormers often break through the cornice line .   Historically the term garrison means 1 ) a group of soldiers ; 2 ) a defensive structure ; 3 ) the location of a group of soldiers is assigned such as garrison house or garrison town . `` The term garrison refers to the military or defensive character of a house '' but not as heavily built as a blockhouse . `` Garrisons , or fortified houses , were built in almost all New England towns and they were particularly common in the frontier towns of Maine and New Hampshire ... Like an ordinary house in plan and appearance , garrisons were used in times of peace as one-family dwellings , but were strongly built and capable of protecting a number of families in times of danger . '' Construction methods typically used log walls or thick planks with a timber frame construction called plank frame construction or simply a plank house .

neg: Plank house A plank house is a type of house constructed by indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest , typically using cedar planks .

neg: Dutch door A Dutch door ( American English ) , stable door ( British English ) , or half door ( Hiberno English ) , is a door divided horizontally in such a fashion that the bottom half may remain shut while the top half opens . They were known in early New England as a double-hung door . The initial purpose of this door design was to keep animals out of farmhouses , or keep children inside , while allowing light and air to filter through the open top . When the top half was open they also allowed a breeze , but stopped the wind from blowing dirt into the house . This type of door was common in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century and appears in Dutch paintings of the period . They were also commonly found in the Dutch cultural areas of New York and New Jersey before the American Revolution .   Dutch doors are often used in North-American passenger train cars to allow crewmen to interact safely with other employees not aboard their trains ( or simply to visually inspect their own train ) without risking falling from the train . Recent operating rules changes in Canada have rendered the Dutch-doors obsolete , although older rolling stock retains the doors .   The term is also applied to the modified rear doors on selected GMC Safaris and Chevrolet Astros that have a flip up rear window and two small half-size doors underneath .

neg: Australian residential architectural styles Australian residential architectural styles have evolved significantly over time , from the early days of structures made from relatively cheap and imported corrugated iron ( which can still be seen in the roofing of historic homes ) to more sophisticated styles borrowed from other countries , such as the Victorian style from the United Kingdom , the Georgian style from North America and Europe and the Californian bungalow from the United States . A common feature of the Australian home is the use of fencing in front gardens , also common in both the UK and the USA . Climate has also influenced housing styles , with balconies and veranda spaces being more prevalent in subtropical Queensland due to the mild , generally warm winters experienced in the state . For many years , Australian homes were built with little understanding of the Australian climate and were widely dependant on European styles that were unsympathetic to Australian landscapes . In recent times , modern Australian residential architecture has reflected the climatic conditions of the country , with adaptations such as double and triple glazing on windows , coordination considerations , use of east and west shade , sufficient insulation , strongly considered to provide comfort to the dweller .   Another aspect of Australian suburbia is that the suburbs tend to have a combination of both upper class and middle class housing in the same neighbourhood . In Melbourne , for instance , one early observer noted that `` a poor house stands side by side with a good house . '' This is somewhat less common today , with home renovations , gentrification and the teardown ( `` knock down , rebuild '' ) method becoming more and more common in affluent suburbs , giving a broader distinction between wealthy and lower class areas . However , the teardown technique has led to home buyers purchasing land or older homes in poorer metropolitan areas and building extravagant McMansion style homes on the land , which look out of place and excessive , failing to match with the remaining houses in the street .   Because architectural styles have varied in the country over the years ( from villas to bungalows and brick renders ) , there is a slight inconsistency in the architectural flow of the suburban streets , with one writer noting that Australian housing styles sometimes `` co-mingle '' and `` co-exist '' awkwardly . This is less common in the United States of America and England , where most homes along a road were built around the same time , typically in similar styles .

neg: Estate (land) Historically an estate comprises the houses and outbuildings and supporting farmland and woods that surround the gardens and grounds of a very large property , such as a country house or mansion . It is the modern term for a manor , but lacks the latter 's now abolished jurisdictional authority . It is an `` estate '' because the profits from its produce and rents are sufficient to support the household in the house at its center , formerly known as the manor house . Thus `` the estate '' may refer to all other cottages and villages in the same ownership as the mansion itself , covering more than one former manor . Examples of such great estates are Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire , England , and Blenheim Palace , Oxfordshire built to replace the former manor house of Woodstock .   `` Estate '' , with its `` stately home '' connotations , has been a natural candidate for inflationary usage during the 20th century . An estate properly so-called should comprise several farms , and is not well used to describe a single farm .   More generally and usually in modern times , an estate is any large packet of land in single ownership : see   Council estate  Housing estate  Industrial estate

neg: Airplane Bungalow Airplane Bungalow style dates from the early 20th century and grew out of the Arts and Crafts Movement . The Airplane Bungalow is similar to the Craftsman Bungalow , but the Airplane Bungalow is characterized by a `` pop up '' second floor , usually of one or two rooms ; resembling a cockpit of an airplane . It may also refer to single story bungalows with low pitched roofs , wide sweeping open soffits that have dormers pointing out of the front of the roof resembling the cockpit of an airplane . The style is more popularly seen along the west coast of the United States and Southwestern and Western Canada .   The Airplane Bungalow is typically found with American Craftsman or Prairie Style elements . Both have a low-pitched , gabled roof , oversized eaves with exposed rafters , and bands of windows .

neg: Structure gauge The structure gauge , also called the minimum clearance outline , is the minimum height and width of tunnels and bridges as well as the minimum height and width of the doors that allow a rail siding access into a warehouse . In addition , the term may apply to the minimum distance to railway platforms ( passenger or freight ) , buildings , electrical equipment boxes , railway signal equipment , third rails or to supports for overhead catenaries or overhead lines from the track . The width of a narrow cut can also affect the maximum loading gauge .   The difference between the structure gauge and the loading gauge is called the `` clearance '' . The amount of clearance between the loading gauge and the structure gauge depends on the speed of the train , due to the train wobbling , so a train may be able to get past a restricted clearance by travelling at slow speed .   The term can also be applied to the minimum size of road tunnels and bridges , as well as doors into automobile repair shops , bus garages , filling stations , residential garages , multi-storey car parks and warehouses .

neg: Slab hut A slab hut is a kind of dwelling or shed made from slabs of split or sawn timber . It was a common form of construction used by settlers in Australia and New Zealand during their nations ' Colonial periods .

neg: Frame Cottage The Frame Cottage is a historic house located at 183 Prospect St. in Tonopah , Nevada . The wood frame home was built c. 1909 . The house features a gable roof with pediment-like gables , a porch with a pediment , classically influenced boxed eaves , and a symmetrical , `` T '' - shaped design . While frame houses were once common in Tonopah , the house is one of the few intact local examples of a frame home with a detailed design .   The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 20 , 1982 .

neg: Backstuga A backstuga ( literally `` hill cottage '' ) is a Swedish language judicial term , previously used in Finland and Sweden , for a kind of rural cottages .   Additionally , in architecture , a backstuga is a cottage built into the southern slope of a hill , alternatively with a low floor and its walls stretched halfway down into the ground . Such cottages are also referred to as jordstuga ( earth cottage ) or stenstuga ( stone cottage ) . They were small , typically about 20 m2 , and only exceptionally found further north than Gothenburg . In the 20th century , the general poverty was mitigated and this kind of homes became less and less used .   In administrative respect , the legal meaning is a rural home with no land to farm that was built on someone else 's property and without an own entry in the land registry . Its dwellers were called backstugusittare ( hill cottage sitters ) with a connotation of pauper . This phenomenon is known from the early 1600s and was disliked by the government seeing it as a way to evade taxes . The house may have been owned by the head of the family living there , but taxes were the responsibility of the land owner . Such cottages were typically raised on land useless for farming . Also the common land of the village , or that of the parish , were usual spots .   A backstuga in this judicial meaning may have been inhabited by craftsmen , and not necessarily small , or by those of the peasantry not active in the productive life of the community , such as old people who could no longer work , retired servants and the community destitute who had no relatives to care for them . In practice , although legally forbidden until 1846 , a parish may have offered to pay for a backstuga-dwelling to a pauper instead of offering a place in a poor house , that all parishes did n't care to organize . The legal alternative , called rotegång , was to let the poor wander from farm to farm , following a strict scheme staying one or a few days at each . But its popularity waned .   Technically , also a farmer whose farm was taken over by a son or a son-in-law , was registered as housed either by the son or in a backstuga . But here the word is used in the population registry and in a statistical context . In church records , the term is undantagsman ( or undantagsänka for a widow ) , which contrary to backstugusittare do not confer any social stigma .

pos: Fiji Fiji ( -LSB- ˈfiːdʒiː -RSB- ) ( Viti -LSB- ˈβitʃi -RSB- फ़िजी ) , officially the Republic of Fiji ( Matanitu Tugalala o Viti फ़िजी गणराज्य ) , is an island country in Melanesia in the South Pacific Ocean about 1100 nmi northeast of New Zealand 's North Island . Its closest neighbours are Vanuatu to the west , New Caledonia to the southwest , New Zealand 's Kermadec Islands to the southeast , Tonga to the east , the Samoas and France 's Wallis and Futuna to the northeast , and Tuvalu to the north .   Fiji is an archipelago of more than 330 islands , of which 110 are permanently inhabited , and more than 500 islets , amounting to a total land area of about 18300 km2 . The farthest island is Ono-i-Lau . The two major islands , Viti Levu and Vanua Levu , account for 87 % of the population of almost 860,000 . The capital , Suva on Viti Levu , serves as Fiji 's principal cruise port . About three-quarters of Fijians live on Viti Levu 's coasts , either in Suva or in smaller urban centres like Nadi ( tourism ) or Lautoka ( sugar cane industry ) . Viti Levu 's interior is sparsely inhabited due to its terrain .   Fiji has one of the most developed economies in the Pacific due to an abundance of forest , mineral , and fish resources . Today , the main sources of foreign exchange are its tourist industry and sugar exports . The country 's currency is the Fijian dollar . Fiji 's local government , in the form of city and town councils , is supervised by the Ministry of Local Government and Urban Development .   The majority of Fiji 's islands were formed through volcanic activity starting around 150 million years ago . Today , some geothermal activity still occurs on the islands of Vanua Levu and Taveuni . Fiji has been inhabited since the second millennium BC , and was settled first by Austronesians and later by Melanesians , with some Polynesian influences . Europeans visited Fiji from the 17th century , and , after a brief period as an independent kingdom , the British established the Colony of Fiji in 1874 . Fiji was a Crown colony until 1970 , when it gained independence as a Commonwealth realm . A republic was declared in 1987 , following a series of coups d'état .   In a coup in 2006 , Commodore Frank Bainimarama seized power . When the High Court ruled in 2009 that the military leadership was unlawful , President Ratu Josefa Iloilo , whom the military had retained as the nominal Head of State , formally abrogated the Constitution and reappointed Bainimarama . Later in 2009 , Iloilo was replaced as President by Ratu Epeli Nailatikau . After years of delays , a democratic election was held on 17 September 2014 . Bainimarama 's FijiFirst party won with 59.2 % of the vote , and the election was deemed credible by international observers .

The son of the late Ratu Sir George Cakobau ( 1912 -- 1989 ) , the former Vunivalu of Bau ( Paramount Chief of Kubuna ( 1957 -- 1989 ) and Governor-General of Fiji ( 1983-1983 ) , he is also a great-great grandson of Seru Epenisa Cakobau , the warlord who established the first unified Fijian Kingdom in 1871 and ceded it to the United Kingdom in 1874 .   Cakobau has been involved in politics ; he was elected to the House of Representatives in 1999 as a candidate of the Soqosoqo ni Vakavulewa ni Taukei ( SVT ) , representing the open constituency of Tailevu South Lomaiviti , and when the Conservative Alliance , a nationalistic political party was founded in 2001 , Cakobau was chosen as its first president .   Ratu Epenisa is married to Adi Varanisese of Batiki and has 8 children .

neg: House of Representatives of Fiji The House of Representatives was the lower chamber of Fiji 's Parliament from 1970 to 2006 . It was the more powerful of the two chambers ; it alone had the power to initiate legislation ( the Senate , by contrast , could amend or veto most legislation , but could not initiate it ) . The House of Representatives also had much greater jurisdiction over financial bills ; the Senate could not amend them , although it might veto them . Except in the case of amendments to the Constitution , over which a veto of the Senate was absolute , the House of Representatives might override a Senatorial veto by passing the same bill a second time , in the parliamentary session immediately following the one in which it was rejected by the Senate , after a minimum period of six months .   Also , the Prime Minister and Cabinet were required to retain the confidence of a majority of the House of Representatives to remain in office .   The House of Representatives was suspended by the 2006 military coup . The 2013 Constitution abolished it and replaced it with a single chamber Parliament .

neg: Macuata (Fijian Communal Constituency, Fiji) Macuata Fijian Provincial Communal is a former electoral division of Fiji , one of 23 communal constituencies reserved for indigenous Fijians . Established by the 1997 Constitution , it came into being in 1999 and was used for the parliamentary elections of 1999 , 2001 , and 2006 . ( Of the remaining 48 seats , 23 were reserved for other ethnic communities and 25 , called Open Constituencies , were elected by universal suffrage ) . The electorate was coextensive with Macuata Province .   The 2013 Constitution promulgated by the Military-backed interim government abolished all constituencies and established a form of proportional representation , with the entire country voting as a single electorate .

neg: Law enforcement in Fiji Fiji has a unified national police force , the Fiji Police , whose motto is Salus Populi meaning `` Health of the People '' .   The Fijian Commissioner of Police title had been held by Australian police officer Andrew Hughes since 2003 but after the 2006 takeover of the Government the post has been reserved for a local ( Ioane Naivaluru a ) .  The current Fijian Commissioner of Police is Brigadier Sitiveni Qiliho   The Commissioner is appointed in accordance with the Constitution of Fiji , chapter 7 , part 4 , section 111 . Section 111 establishes the office of Commissioner of Police . This official is appointed by the Constitutional Offices Commission , following consultation with the appropriate Cabinet Minister . The Commissioner of Police holds executive and administrative authority over the entire police force , and is answerable only to the Minister in charge . Parliament may , however , make laws regulating the police force .   Fiji has a single local police force , on Rabi Island .

neg: Malani Roko Malani ( 1754 -- 1833 ) was the eldest son of Rasolo , the first Tui Nayau ( Paramount Chief of Fiji 's Lau Islands ) , and of Laufitu a high-ranking lady of Totoya and Tongan descent . The father of Viliame Vuetasau . He succeeded to the title Roko Sau , after engineering a successful coup d'état and slaying his uncle , Matawalu , the fourth Roko Sau , in battle . This kin slaying was the result of the latter 's dislike and plan to expel Tongan settlers from Lakeba . As Roko Malani was half Tongan , his hand was forced to remove his uncle from power and eliminate his followers as an effective force on the island . Roko Malani was later installed as Tui Nayau , and thus become the second holder of this title .   He is described by one of the early missionaries to Lakeba as being `` a good looking muscular man '' , and he was responsible for establishing the kingdom of the Tui Nayau in the form which it was known to the first European observers . One of his earliest campaigns resulting in the extension of his domain was to lead a battle against Cicia , then an independent island , in retribution for the earlier death of his cousin Nayacatabu . He ambushed the Tui Cicia , or overlord of Cicia , and his forces on Nayau and killed him . The ensuing bloodbath is still remembered by the place name where the battle occurred . This area on Nayau is called Sosoiwaidamudamu or the Swamp of Red Water . This battle brought Cicia from this point forward under the power of the Tui Nayau . In addition the islands of Komo and Olorua were given to the Kabara champion and his battle ally , Ravu , in recognition for Kabara 's contribution to the defeat of Cicia . These two islands still remain as part of the Kabara District today .   Roko Malani is considered the progenitor of the noble household , Matailakeba . Two of his descendants included Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara , Fiji 's first Prime Minister ( a direct male line descendant ) , and Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna , Fiji 's first modern statesman . Roko Malani 's principal wife was Ciri of Taqalevu , with whom he had a son . It is likely he had other wives and offspring but there is scant record to demonstrate this . Towards the end of his reign , the first Christian missionaries arrived in Fiji in 1830 . These were three Tahitian missionaries of the London Missionary Society , sent to Lakeba to establish a church . Although it is recorded that he tolerated the early missionaries , and one of his sons Vaubula was an early convert and would later emerge as one of the first preachers amongst Fijians ; he nevertheless remained faithful to the old religion .

neg: Tora ni Bau There are three confederacies in the Fijian Traditional Government , Kubuna , Tovata and Burebasaga . One of the two Paramount chiefly tribes in the Kubuna Confederacy is the Tora ni Bau . The other is the Vunivalu of Bau .   The first known documented and installed Tora ni Bau was Ratu Virivirilau who was installed in Delaibatiki-Kubuna , Bau . Seven other Tora ni Bau were also installed and resided in Tailevu along the eastern coast of Viti Levu . The following eight holders of the Tora ni Bau title relocated and resided in the chiefly island of Batiki in the Lomaiviti province .   The traditional Tora ni Bau lineage was empowered by the strong traditional ties of warriors ( Bati ) which included the chiefly tribes of Waimaro in the Naitasiri province and Verata of Tailevu province , including other warrior tribes along the coast of Tailevu and Ra . From the Lomaiviti province , warrior ( Bati ) linkages were led by the warrior clans of Sawaieke in Gau , and Cawa in Koro island .  Traditional protocol between some Chiefs and warriors ( Bati ) , is the Chief 's abstinence of consumption of fish in the presence of warriors , and the abstinence of pork for the warriors in the presence of their chiefs . This is still somewhat practiced today , and was also one of the reasons the eighth Tora ni Bau , Ratu Isireli Mocelakolako relocated to the island of Batiki in the Lomaiviti group .   The Tora ni Bau is closely linked to the Vunivalu of Bau . This was strengthened by the marriage of Ratu Seru Cakobau 's eldest daughter , Adi Viniana to the ( known ) tenth Tora ni Bau , Ratu Josaia Loloma .

neg: List of countries by easternmost point This is a list of countries by easternmost point on land ( dependent territories included ) . A selection of dependent territories are listed in italics and are not ranked .   The order does not always reflect the proximity of the country 's territory to the 180th meridian . In such a case there would be three both the very westernmost and the very easternmost countries or territories , Russia , Fiji , and Antarctica , as the Start Meridian passes through them on land . Instead for the number of countries , namely Russia , New Zealand , Fiji , the United States , and Kiribati , which have territory on both sides of the 180th meridian , the given easternmost point of the country is the easternmost point in the direction of travel . The United States and Kiribati have most of their territory east of the 180th meridian , in the Western Hemisphere , so they are considered to belong to the westernmost countries with their territory stretching as far to the west as beyond the 180th meridian into the Eastern Hemisphere . Conversely , Russia , New Zealand , and Fiji have most of their territory west of the 180th meridian , in the Eastern Hemisphere , so they are considered to belong to the easternmost countries with their territory stretching as far to the east as beyond the 180th meridian into the Western Hemisphere .

neg: Josefa Iloilo Ratu Josefa Iloilovatu Uluivuda , CF , MBE , MSD , KStJ ( 29 December 1920 -- 6 February 2011 ) was the President of Fiji from 2000 until 2009 , excluding a brief period from 5 December 2006 until 4 January 2007 ( see below ) . He held the traditional title of Tui Vuda , the paramount chief of the Vuda district in Ba Province on Fiji 's northwest coast . Like many Fijian people , he rarely used his surname and was known simply as Josefa Iloilo . He announced on 28 July 2009 that he would be leaving office on 30 July . At the age of 88 , he was the world 's oldest head of state .   On 5 December 2006 , Commodore Frank Bainimarama , Commander of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces , seized power in a coup d'état and assumed presidential powers . This followed failed attempts on Iloilo 's part to mediate a solution to the long-running impasse between the military and the government of Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase . However , his powers were restored by Bainimarama on 4 January 2007 . Iloilo also endorsed Bainimarama 's coup on the same day , in his first public address since the coup . He appointed Bainimarama as Prime Minister the following day .   After Fiji 's Court of Appeal had ruled that the removal of Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase and the appointment of Fiji 's interim regime following the military coup in 2006 was unlawful , on 10 April 2009 Iloilo dismissed the judges and abrogated the country 's constitution . Iloilo claimed to have the `` full support '' of the security forces and directed the military to take `` all reasonable steps '' to maintain law and order .

neg: Fijian presidential election, 2000 A Presidential election took place in Fiji on 18 July 2000 , to replace Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara , who had resigned , possibly under pressure from the Military , during the Fiji coup of 2000 . The Great Council of Chiefs , an assembly of mostly hereditary chiefs which is constitutionally empowered to elect the President , chose the Tui Vuda ( Paramount Chief of Vuda ) , Ratu Josefa Iloilovatu Uluivuda ( commonly known simply as Ratu Josefa Iloilo ) , who had been Vice-President under Mara , to succeed him . Iloilo had already exercised Presidential duties since 13 July , when the Military had asked him to take over the office .   One of his earliest acts as President was to reappoint Laisenia Qarase , who had been chosen by the Military in July , as Prime Minister on 10 September 2000 .

neg: Fijian general election, 1963 In 1963 , the first significant changes were carried out to the composition of the Legislative Council of Fiji since 1937 . The Legislative Council was expanded to 37 members , of which 19 were official members ( usually heads of Government departments ) and 18 unofficial members , thus retaining the official majority . Of the unofficial members , 12 were elected , four from each of the Fijian , Indian and European groups chosen on a communal franchise . The Governor also nominated two from each of the communities . The Legislative Councillors of each race were permitted to select two of their members to the Executive Council .   Qualifications to register as a voter were as follows :  British subject  Age of twenty-one years or over  Resident in the colony for a period of , or periods amounting in the aggregate of , not less than twelve months out of the preceding three years .  Ability to read and write a simple sentence and sign one 's name in the English language in the case of a European , in either English or Fijian in the case of a Fijian , and for an Indian either in English , Hindi , Urdu , Tamil , Telugu , Gurmukhi , Gujarati or Malayalam . `` European '' and `` Indian '' were defined as a person whose father or any of whose male progenitors in the male line was a European or Indian , respectively , while a `` Fijian '' was defined as `` a person whose father or any of whose progenitors in the male line ... was an aboriginal native of the colony , excluding the island of Rotuma and its dependencies . ''   While ethnic Fijians and women gained the right to vote , illiterate adults were not permitted to vote . Some people could choose between ethnic rolls and no provision was made for Rotumans , Pacific Islanders , Chinese and part-Chinese to vote .   There was also a number of changes to qualifications for candidates to run for office . Indian and European civil servants were prohibited from nominating as candidates , but this provision did not apply to Fijians as there were few qualified Fijians outside the civil service . Candidates were required , not only to be eligible to be registered as a voter , but to be actually registered . This provision disqualified Ayodhya Prasad as he was out of the country during the registration period .   Most candidates contested the election as independents , although the Citizens Federation ( which became the Federation Party in 1964 ) endorsed A. D. Patel , S.M. Koya and James Madhavan , while the Kisan Sangh endorsed Deo Sharma , James Shankar Singh and Harsih Chandra Kohli respectively as their opponents . The Western Democratic Party nominated Apisai Tora and Isikeli Nadalo , both for the Western Fijian Constituency . Isikei Nadalo was also endorsed by Fijian National Party .   The elections were conducted between 17 April 1963 and 4 May 1963 . There were two significant outcomes of the elections . Firstly , the secret ballot amongst Fijians did not lead to the defeat of Chiefs but to the consolidation of the power of the Fijian establishment as can be seen by the result of the Western Fijian Constituency , where the Tovata high chief , Ratu Penaia Ganilau won by 7,347 votes against local commoners Apisai Tora ( 1,496 votes ) and Isikeli Nadalo ( 659 votes ) . Secondly Indians in the sugar cane districts , clearly endorsed the policies of the Federation led by A.D. Patel over that of the Kisan Sangh during the 1960 sugar cane farmers ' strike , by electing its three candidates . A.D. Patel defeated Deo Sharma by 6,244 votes to 3,346 votes , S.M. Koya defeated James Shankar Singh by 3,998 votes to 3,480 votes and James Madhavan defeated Harish Chandra Kohli by 2,753 vote to 2,175 votes .

neg: Meke Meke is a broad term in the Fijian language , primarily referring to all traditional style of dance . It is a cognate of the words `` maka '' ( Rotuman ) and `` mele '' in Hawaiian . It is typically performed during celebrations and festivals . Traditionally the dances that comprise the meke art form are performed by groups of men only or women only , however , foreign influences , such as the male/female Tongan ma'ulu ` ulu becoming the Fijian vakamalolo , are evident throughout .   Professor Friedrich Ratzel in his 1896 publication ( Macmillan of London ) , The History of Mankind , writes about the Fijian meke as both song and dance which only a few are given to invent and which those who do , allege that they do so in the spirit world where divine beings teach them the song and the appropriate dance . He wrote that the ideal of the Fijian poet is poetry with every verse ending with the same vowell of regular measure , which , in practice is often achieved with poetic license through the use of arbitrary abbreviations or lengthenings , and omission of articles , etc. .

neg: LGBT rights in Fiji Lesbian , gay , bisexual and transgender ( LGBT ) people in Fiji may face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents . In 1997 , Fiji became the second country in the world to explicitly protect against discrimination based on sexual orientation in its Constitution . In 2009 , the Constitution was abolished . The new Constitution , promulgated in September 2013 , bans discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression . However , same-sex marriage remains banned in Fiji and reports of societal discrimination and bullying are not uncommon .

neg: Nadi Nadi ( pronounced -LSB- ˈnandi -RSB- ) is the third-largest conurbation in Fiji . It is located on the western side of the main island of Viti Levu , and had a population of 42,284 at the most recent census , in 2007 . A 2012 estimate showed that the population had grown to over 50,000 . Nadi is multiracial with many of its inhabitants Indian or Fijian , along with a large transient population of foreign tourists . Along with sugar cane production , tourism is a mainstay of the local economy .   The Nadi region has a higher concentration of hotels and motels than any other part of Fiji . With its large Indo-Fijian population , Nadi is a centre for Hinduism and Islam in Fiji . It has the largest Hindu temple in the Southern hemisphere , and is a site for pilgrims called Sri Siva Subramaniya temple . Muslims worship at the Nadi Mosque and the Ahmadiyyahs worship at the Ahmadiya Mosque .  Nadi International Airport located 9 kilometres from the town , is the largest airport in Fiji . Thus , Nadi is the principal port of entry for air travellers to Fiji , even though it is on the opposite ( western ) side of the island of Viti Levu from the nation 's capital and largest city , Suva .

neg: Rotumans The Rotuman people are the indigenous inhabitants of Rotuma , a small island group forming part of the Republic of Fiji . The island itself is a cultural melting pot at the crossroads of the Micronesian , Melanesian and Polynesian divisions of the Pacific Ocean , and due to the seafaring nature of traditional Pacific cultures , the indigenous Rotuman have adopted or share many aspects of its multifaceted culture with its Melanesian , Micronesian and Polynesian neighbours .

The center was named the NBA Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) three times and was a 12-time NBA All-Star and an eight-time All-NBA selection . Malone won his only NBA championship in 1983 , when he was both the league and Finals MVP with the Philadelphia 76ers . He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility in 2001 .   Malone began his pro career out of high school after he was selected in the third round of the 1974 ABA Draft by the Utah Stars . He was named an ABA All-Star as a rookie and played two seasons in the league until it merged with the NBA in 1976 . He landed in the NBA with the Buffalo Braves , who traded him after two games to the Houston Rockets . Malone became a five-time All-Star in six seasons with the Rockets . After leading the NBA in rebounding in 1979 , he was named league MVP for the first time . He led the Rockets to the NBA Finals in 1981 , and won his second MVP award in 1982 . Malone was traded to Philadelphia the following season , when he repeated as MVP and led the 76ers to a championship in his first year .

neg: 1994 NBA Finals The 1994 NBA Finals was the championship round of the 1993 -- 94 National Basketball Association ( NBA ) season , featuring the Western Conference 's Houston Rockets defeating the Eastern Conference 's New York Knicks .   This matchup was Hakeem Olajuwon 's second NBA Finals appearance , his other being in 1986 , where Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics defeated the Houston Rockets four games to two . The series was Patrick Ewing 's first NBA Finals appearance . The Rockets came in with strong determination to win not only the franchise 's first NBA championship , but the city 's first championship in a league that still existed , while the Knicks were looking to add a third NBA championship trophy , as the Knicks ' last trophy came from the 1973 NBA Finals . The Knicks also hoped to impress their new owners Viacom , who had just bought Paramount Communications ( formerly Gulf + Western ) , their longtime owners ( after the series however , Viacom sold the Knicks and the rest of the Madison Square Garden properties ) .   The series was hailed as a meeting of the two great centers who had previously played for a championship in college . In 1984 while Olajuwon was with the University of Houston and Ewing was with Georgetown University , Georgetown had beaten Houston 84 -- 75 in the 1984 NCAA Championship game . In this series , however , Olajuwon outperformed Ewing , outscoring him in every game of the series and posting numbers of 26.9 ppg on 50.0 % shooting compared to Ewing 's 18.9 ppg on 36.3 % shooting . However , Ewing set an NBA finals record in the series with a total of 30 blocks , and he tied the single-game record of 8 blocks in Game 5 . Tim Duncan would later set the record for most blocks in a Finals series ( 2003 ) with 32 blocks in six games while Dwight Howard would set the record for most blocked shots in a Finals game with 9 blocked shots in Game 4 of the 2009 Finals while with the Orlando Magic .   During the series , the Houston Rockets played seven low-scoring , defensive games against the New York Knicks . After splitting the first two games in Houston , the Knicks won two out of three games at Madison Square Garden , which also hosted the Rangers first Stanley Cup celebration in 54 years during the series .   In Game 6 , however , Rockets center Hakeem Olajuwon blocked a last-second championship-winning shot attempt by John Starks , giving the Rockets an 86 -- 84 victory and forcing a Game 7 , which made Knicks Coach Pat Riley the first ( and to this date , the only ) coach in a Game 7 NBA Finals on two different teams , having been with the Los Angeles Lakers in and . In addition , the Knicks set a record for most playoff games played in one season , with 25 . The Detroit Pistons tied this record in . The Boston Celtics , coached by Doc Rivers , would surpass it during their championship season of 2008 when they played 26 .   The Rockets beat the Knicks in Game 7 , 90 -- 84 , enabling the city of Houston to not only celebrate its first NBA and fifth professional sports championship ( first in an existing league ) , but also deny New York from having both NBA and NHL championships in the same year ( Chicago had suffered this fate in 1992 , with the Bulls winning their second NBA championship and the Blackhawks losing in the Stanley Cup Finals ) . For his efforts Olajuwon was named NBA Finals Most Valuable Player . For the Knicks , Riley had the unfortunate distinction of having become the first ( and to this date , the only ) coach to lose a Game 7 NBA Finals on two different teams , having lost to the Celtics in 1984 . It also denied him the distinction of being the first coach to win a Game 7 NBA Finals with two different teams , having defeated the Detroit Pistons in 1988 .   NBC Sports used Ahmad Rashād ( Knicks sideline ) and Hannah Storm ( Rockets sideline ) .   Hal Douglas narrated the season-ending documentary Clutch City for NBA Entertainment .
