With more than 20 billion connected IoT devices anticipated by 2020, Samsung believes Blockchain will be essential to make sure they can all communicate.
How businesses can use Blockchain as an enabling technology to benefit customers With more than 20 billion connected devices anticipated by 2020, an orchestration technology such as Blockchain will be essential.
Future fare: By 2020, orchestration tech, like Blockchain, will be an essential, says Brendon Kim, Managing Director and Head of Investments, Samsung NEXT, who spoke with TechRepublic's Teena Maddox at SXSW.
"Blockchain is part of our larger investment thesis," Kim told TechRepublic. "Our thesis is that the world is becoming more distributed and decentralized. Over the last five years, there was centralization of data, memory, storage and computation in the Cloud, and we believe in the future it will be a distributed decentralized world, not only because of use cases like Autonomous Driving, but regulatory trends and societal trends that emphasize empowerment of the consumer, privacy, and security. Blockchain is a huge enabling technology to lay the groundwork for a more distributed and decentralized world. If you look to 2020, people predict 20 billion devices connected.
All those devices can't communicate with each other without some kind of orchestration technology. Blockchain is going to be fundamental to that, devices can talk to each other, can verify each other, can do transactions with each other."
Using Blockchain will make things easier, Kim insists, "I'll go back to the IOT example. For example, washing machines should be able to communicate with, perhaps companies like Proctor and Gamble or something similar, where if a detergent is running low in the dishwasher, it can automatically connect with a machine on the P&G side to order more detergent. We get detergent right away. Industrial IOT is another big-use case. There are many different analog meters, different plants, and if you connect all of those analog meters and make them into IOT devices, those devices can communicate with each other across different silos, across different systems, for a better understanding of how a plant is operating and how it might operate in the future.
There's been a lot of buzz around a few different topics here at South by. AI continues to be a big topic, but really this year people are talking about Blockchain a lot more. There's a big buzz around Blockchain, and what it can do. Especially with the recent rise of ICOs, and the tokenization of everything, it's really interesting to see a lot of people taking about ICOs, Blockchain and coins.

"Can we go this way?" said Isis.
Osiris stopped on the edge of the bridge, where a path ran along the river. He remembered when he was a kid. Lucerne was just a clutch of farms and stores, and there was no bridge over this road, at least not one you could drive across. It was just a sham wooden structure that a farmer had nailed together so he could hop into town. The bridge was a short cut to their community centre – the modern glass structure known as the Transparent Temple.
Osiris wondered why she wanted to take the long way around. It was funny that so many people in Lucerne had ancient names, particularly Egyptian ones. Their parents must have been hippies, fascinated by Pharaonic lore. He recalled a book near his mother's bed called Pyramid Power.
He said, "Sure love. Are you in the mood for a longer walk?" The past three months had been the best of his life. Meeting Isis had rocked his world. She was everything he'd wanted – pretty, funny, smart, cultured and spiritual.
"I prefer the scenic route," she said. "Let's walk along the river, then through the fields. We can go through those new houses and enter the back of the Temple."
"Okay love, let's do that." Osiris was so used to doing things his way that whenever Isis expressed a differing preference, his instinctive response was to reject it, but this was followed by curiosity so intense that he agreed to her request immediately. And he found that most of the time her way proved better. If he had to pin a number on it he'd say that she was right seventy-five percent of the time. When he'd explained this to his best friend, the friend had been incredulous. "What? You reckon she's right seventy-five percent of the time? That can't be possible!"
"Why not?" Osiris had said. "She's a clever woman."
"But you are more clever, my friend. If you are right twenty-five percent of the time, and you accept that she is right seventy-five percent of the time, then that makes you right one hundred percent of the time!"
Osiris and Isis held hands and followed the river east. Its flow was higher than usual. This must be because of early warm weather melting snowpack, whose waters poured into rivers running through the Lucerne Valley. The snow levels on both Mt Alba, rising above the village, and Mt Negra, one hundred kilometres away at the source of the valley, were rising up their respective slopes. Imagine being the last snowflake, he thought, disappearing.
It was a pretty crazy route for such a small river. It twisted and turned, looping back on itself at one point, plunging into pools, and braving small waterfalls. It was said that the first man to find Lucerne had floated along this river. He had fought and escaped his enemies, and been aided by crocodiles and buffaloes. He had climbed out when he had seen the White Mountain and made this his home.
The river continued through green fields. When this first man became old and feeble, he was killed by his descendants and buried in these fields, and from his head sprouted potatoes, his slim arms became carrots, his plump thighs produced beets, his brains made garlics, his lungs produced hemp, and from his manhood grew the first banana.
They came to new houses. The original houses had been built by the first man's descendants, who became a prosperous tribe. Their wealth had attracted roving bands of hunters, who looted them annually, just after harvest, raping and pillaging and leaving their mark – mixed-blood children, who became present day Lucerne's inhabitants.
Beyond the village was wilderness, like the original chaos before the first man.
Isis clutched Osiris's hand harder as they neared the Transparent Temple. It was the heart of the village. Government officials met in Room One to set village strategy. Business leaders met in Room Two to discuss the local economy. Village councillors met in Room Three to promote political agendas. Artists met in the bar to discuss cultural grants and collaborative works. Holy men and women met on Saturdays to promote the memory of the divine founder of their settlement, the first man, called Osiris.
On Saturdays they served falafels, which legend said were first made by Coptic Christians. Pha la phel means "of many beans", as the Church was formed of many souls, all rolled into one Great Soul. People united by The Authority.
Osiris and Isis were greeted by the Supreme Guardian of the Transparent Temple. He was a crippled, olive-skinned man called Seth. He cast a mean look at Osiris, but winked at Isis. Seth knew it would soon be time for him to regenerate and to leave this chamber, chase out Osiris, marry Isis, and begin the creation cycle anew.

The Politically Incorrect History of the Original Medical Quacks Who Still Practice in a Hospital Near You
Written by Sarah C. Corriher	Sarah C. Corriher
Category: Reports	Reports
Published: September 19, 2009	September 19, 2009
Those who practice 'conventional' medicine are quick to label alternative practitioners as "quacks" for using methods they claim have not been proven, yet have documented to work for thousands of years. Meanwhile, they likewise follow and trust people who they have never met to do studies which they have never examined. Information provided by these official studies are seen as more important than their own experiences, or that of their patients. The ability to observe 'cause and effect' relationships is degraded as 'anecdotal evidence' in modern medicine. In other words; ignore what you see, experience, or feel unless a pharmaceutical company tells you that it is okay to react in such a way -- then suddenly it's all scientific.
It is this unwavering faith in what they consider true "scientific medicine" which causes doctors to claim there must have been a 'misdiagnosis' whenever alternative medicine cures cancer or diabetes. However, true science does not fear results or investigation. Their version of "science" is actually more akin to a religious dogma. Under their belief system, no healing can be done without a pharmaceutical; despite a large percentage of their own drugs being directly based upon herbal medicines. Pharmaceutical companies extract key ingredients from herbs, so that the resultant extracts can be patented, since these chemically stripped and concentrated versions "do not appear in nature". See the sleight-of-hand?
While at the hospital getting emergency treatment for congestive heart failure, you'll probably hope to get some "real" medicine, instead of herbal treatments. The E.R. doctors would laugh, mock, or even become irate if you were to suggest using a tea made from a poisonous weed that grows beside the highways, such as digitalis. They would immediately pump your body full of real medicine -- the standard pharmaceutical made from the digitalis weed extract. It is like a case of The Emperor Has No Clothes. If they were only educated about what they call "scientific" medicine, then it would be quite a humbling experience. In the pinnacle of their "science", the best they can hope for in saving your life relies upon falling back upon the herbs of so-called "alternative" medicine. That digitalis weed, by the way, is going to cost you thousands of dollars. So who are the quacks pushing medical fraud, and a dishonest version of science? It might be difficult for some people to determine, but I think all of us can smell the money.
No words are truer, and the fashionability of medicines has much more to do with patent expirations than sound medical judgment. An even more common reason for their decline is because the drugs are either found to be completely ineffective, or dangerous. If their studies were so much more effective than the "anecdotal evidence" of alternative medicine then we should know about the side-effects and effectiveness long before the ten-year mark. Why has the same not happened for alternative therapies, even after some have been practiced for thousands of years?
Since studies are done by the very pharmaceutical companies which hope to gain billions from the products; there is plenty of incentive to cherry pick and cover-up unfavorable results. Eli Lilly became known for doing this after falsifying studies which had linked Prozac to violent and suicidal behaviors; particularly in young people. Did you know that anti-depressant studies usually only allow non-depressed test subjects? Of course none of the test subjects experienced depression at the end of these studies, because they were never prone to depression in the first place! It's called data shopping. This is F.D.A. science in all its shining glory, and this is actually a standard accepted procedure for drug trials -- all of which are funded by the same pharmaceutical companies who will reap the rewards of the positive results that they always get. These corporations actually buy the studies, and then buy the F.D.A.'s approval -- literally.
It could be argued that the ten-year lifespan of pharmaceuticals is due solely to ending patents, but many drugs are carried by multiple companies after patent expiration. Drugs that "fade out" usually do so due to consumer complaints to the F.D.A., who then warns the company of possible public relations issues. The removal of drugs due to safety concerns or ineffectiveness usually goes unnoticed, except in extreme cases, like the one concerning Vioxx. Alas, the testing process that doctors and medical professionals place their faith in is far from perfect, or scientific. In fact, countless studies that have been listed in peer-reviewed journals were later shown to be flawed by extreme bias, or completely faked to provide results which promoted a particular drug.
The original "quacks" were 'conventional' doctors who used mercury ('quacksalber' in German) to treat illnesses. It is important to note that these practices still go on today, but never with 'alternative' medicine. It is the self-accredited "safe and effective" medicine which intentionally places mercury inside vaccines and in people's teeth -- to "promote health" supposedly. Just as the days of bloodletting and lobotomies have not been forgotten, neither will mercury, chemotherapy, or radiation. All of these have been fully endorsed by the A.M.A. in their respective eras. Modern (experimental) medicine is always changing, and it is doing so because it is a very new system. Alternative medicine has been around for thousands of years, shows much more consistency, and doesn't kill people, or cause diseases with long term usage. For what it is worth, alternative medicine does not experimentally use substances that cause psychotically violent behaviors in people already experiencing emotional issues either; nor does it have corporations spending billions to deceive us with fraudulent studies, at the expense of our health, and life spans.
The truth remains that each person will have to place his faith in one system of medicine to heal him, and prevent illness. The question is: Who will you place your faith in? Will it be the system that the World Health Organization (of the U.N.) ranks as 38th in the world for medical care? More importantly, have you figured out who the real quacks are yet?

You know them. They are the management equivalent of helicopter parents (without the personal commitment and attachment). They hover over the work of their employees and they insist on inspecting and controlling the smallest details of a project. They are irritated by employee initiative and insist on being consulted on all decisions, even those well within the scope of the subordinate's authority. They are the micromanagers and they continue to wreak havoc on employee health and productivity.
In last weeks post, I talked about the pressing need for organizations to connect the dots between employee health and productivity, unnecessary stressful working conditions and management training. Companies don't stress employees, supervisors stress employees. Micromanaging is one of those pernicious supervisory practices that end up increasing employee stress while decreasing productivity, engagement, morale and well-being.
Take a look at the experience of being micromanaged from the employee's perspective. By trying to control all the decisions and all the resources required to successfully complete a project, the micromanager is communicating a profound lack of trust and confidence in the employee's judgment and skill. This contemptuous attitude sets the stage for employee resentment and a dysfunctional work environment.
In practice, from an employee point of view, this control mindset creates a "heads you win, tails I lose" dynamic. Micromanagers delegate the accountability for failure but do not delegate the authority for taking alternative courses of action that might help the project to succeed.
Some micromanagers require constant detailed reporting that wastes employee time on compiling procedural trivia and compromises their ability to focus on higher value activities. In the most extreme cases of micromanagement we see affects on employees that closely resemble workplace bullying.
In my experience, most micromanagers would never use this term to describe themselves. They might call themselves "perfectionists" or "detail oriented" but they rarely acknowledge the negative effect of their management style on the health and productivity of their subordinates.
Whether the reasons for micromanaging are psychological (personal issues that drive the manager's need for control) or political (the manager is making strategic calculations to maximize their individual gains and minimize losses) the cost to the individual and the organization is equally devastating.
Senior management and human resource professionals should play a key role in the identification and elimination of micromanagement. If we want to cultivate work environments that are healthy and we are serious about encouraging employee engagement and creativity we won't turn a blind eye to the counter productive practice of micromanagement.

Uber fined $59 million over not revealing details of sexual assault cases
Uber says that it refused to release the full information about the victims and survivors of the sexual assaults to protect their privacy
Anita John
American ride hailing site Uber has been slapped with a fine of $59 million on December 14, 2020. The fine has been levied by the regulators in California as they failed to give a proper explanation over the thousands of sexual assaults incidences that had occurred during the trips that were taken with Uber. The company reportedly did not have a proper explanation over the questions that were placed regarding the incidences.
The recent order by the regulator has mentioned that Uber has about 30 days to pay the fine or they might have to face a threat of halting its operations in California until the fine is paid and the questions from the regulators are satisfied. It is the California Public Utilities Commission(CPUC), who have raised the matter about the sexual assaults and are demanding an answer about the various incidences of sexual assaults and harassments against the drivers and the riders. The CPUC is a regulatory body that investigates and inspects the transportation companies within the state.
The regulator has said that $7500 fine has been levied for each instance if Uber refusing to answer a question during the process. A safety report that was released by Uber in December 2019, the company had lodged 3,045 cases of murders and sexual assaults during the ride sharing in the United States during the year 2018 and certain parts of 2017. On the other hand it has been noticed that Uber had constantly tried to protect the privacy of the victims while it denied the requests for more information. A number of victims' advocacy groups have protected the move by Uber by saying that there is no guarantee that the information of the victims would be safe with the regulators.
Th ride hailing company in its statement to a leading daily said that the CPUC has always insisted to release the full names and contact information about the survivors of sexual assault without their consent. Uber said that it opposes such practices.

The first Part-Europeans were descendants of the first European white settlers and iTaukei women and established themselves mostly in Levuka, Vanua Levu, or other outlying islands. Over the years these descendants intermarried and established kinship ties, so generations are now linked through marriage or bloodlines.
Part-Europeans came to be known by some using the Taukei word Kai Loma, which means 'in between'. Another term is Vasu, but this is not available for common use as it is bestowed directly from and through one's iTaukei maternal line. It is not known where the word kailoma stems from, and it is now used to refer to people who were born in Fiji from mixed races, such as, iTaukei/European, iTaukei/Indian, and others. So in Fiji a kailoma is no longer a person descendant just from a European.
For more detailed information on Kailomas, please read Sandra Thaggard's account of Fiji and the History of Part-Europeans.
Also see: Fragmented Identities: The Journey of a Kailoma >> Dulcie Stewart provides a list of resources available for anyone who is researching their family history in Fiji.
The Fiji. Land of our Fathers website is dedicated to recording the lives of descendants of European settlers. The editor would welcome entries from families listed here to add to our growing list of men and women who have made significant contributions to the shaping of modern Fiji.
A LIST OF KAILOMA FAMILIES IN FIJI WITH THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN AND WHERE THEY SETTLED IN FIJI.
In cooperation with the Facebook group, Kailomas In Fiji, Neil Billings has provided a list of Kailoma Families in Fiji with their country of origin and where they settled in Fiji. The list is being continually updated.
We have a list of families so its time to make this list more meaningful and informative. Two pieces of information will be added, one the country of origin of the family name and the second the place of connection in Fiji to the name. Please contribute, we also have family researchers on the Facebook page (Kailomas In Fiji) if assistance is required. For example Neil has listed two family names (Billings, Taylor) that he is associated with to get things rolling. This will be interesting information for all, this has never been done collectively. The list will be updated and a revision date stated.
Revision date: 2/2/16 (Fiji), 1/2/16 (USA).
For inquiries about families on this List of Kailoma Families in Fiji, please email Neil Billings.

Both my grandparents and parents are Kailomas. Charles Nicolas Hewson. I don't see that surname in the list of names for the KAILOMAS.
Neither is the Bull surname… my mum was a Bull.
I do remember the Bulls.
Otilda Hewson – was your mother a Johnson by any chance and your grandfather Graham, if so he is my first cousin.
Has anyone any idea how the Weatherall family came to Fiji?
My grandmother was Nancy Wetherall from Savusavu.
I too would like to know where the Weatherall's came from.
My email is maryann.p@optusnet.com.au and would appreciate if you hear a response to let me know also as I find it hard to keep track of these sites.
Wow! So proud to be a kailoma now living in the U.S. My mother was a Hickes (listed) from Sigatoka. My father a Smith part Tongan raised by his step family the Vollmers (listed) on Mission Hill Levuka. Au sa kalougata dina.
Nice please add me on facebook Luke Vollmer. You must be my dad's cousin.
Hey cuz u found this place too lol! What a site so interesting aye!!
We, as kailomas most definitely have a fun and exciting heritage. My skin is white, but as we know we come in different shades. To be called a "kumala vula" or "white cockroach" was ok by me. I know that the sailors or settlers who ventured out in the wide Pacific in the 1800's were a breed apart. For them to hook up with a Fijiam marama at a time when cannibalism was practiced is quite ballsy to say the least. My mom a Hickes is grand daughter to Edward Hickes who in the 1870's, in Namosi married into the Matanitobua clan. Ratu Matanitobua was one of the Chiefs who ceded Fiji to Great Britain. His name is on the plaque in front of the government building in Suva. My moms mom was a Pickering and the original Pickering who turned up in Fiji in the 1840's, well he's written up in R A Derrick's, "History of Fiji".
He was quite a guy that Robert Pickering Jr. was. But that's another talanoa.
My great grandmother was Ella Pickering would love to learn about our family history. My nana was Ella Bryson and my mum is Frances Campbell (Whippy).
Thank you for information I have gathered so far, very much appreciated.
If anyone has history about the Campbell family, Peter Rowland Campbell is my great grandfather from South Carolina and Lucretia Going(s) and James Campbell my g g grandparents. I would be interested to hear their story.
I am looking for an Emily Pickering who was in Suva around 1970s. There were a bunch of American men who were working there and met up with her and other women but her name was still written down. I know she had a son around that time. I am looking for more info on her.
I believe that Emily Pickering married a Whippy. She is in Suva. She's now a widow. If it's the same one, we are first cousins. Her mum was a Hazelman.
How can I contact her? Do you know if she had a son awhile back?
Hi Dennis my name is Bianca Underwood…my madien name is Vollmer.. My father is Rudy Vollmer and his parents Queenie and Martin Vollmer were all from mission hill levuka… we are based in auckland nz.
Suliana Vollmer was my grandmother. Her son Cecil Smith was my father.
What was your father's name Dennis and which of the Vollmer's raised your father…this is such a wonderful site isn't it..we are able to put all the dots together lol!
Some more names that just may help the search….Family names: Scarfe, Apperley Wilkinson, Stubbs, Archer, Burness.
David Wilkinson b. 1831 d. 8 Jan 1910 Fiji. m. Harriet Twigg b. Wells? Border England & Wales. David Wilkinson English born (Cockermouth, Cumberland UK), travelled to Adelaide Australia approx.c1860 and was sent to Fiji to inspect and report upon the island of Kioa, and generally upon the islands for stock breeding for The Fiji Islands Pastoral, Agricultural and Commercial Co. etc. (see below). He was an interpreter to King Cakobau and was a key figure in the signing of the Deed of Cession at Nasova, Levuka on Oct 10 1874. He also started the Native Lands Commission.
Hi, Im just asking if you know any information about Tony Wilkinson?
My late mum, Elizabeth Randolph was a distant descendant from the Earl of Moray, Scotland.
She resided in Vatudamu near Salt Lake, Savusavu in the early 1940s. She later married a Muslim originally from Suva.
However, being a staunch Catholic she refused to convert to Islam and decided against moving with him to Suva. I remained with her until her untimely death, although I was too little to remember.
My Dad came to know about my dear mum's death and then took me away from my mum's place to live with his new family in Suva.
I am told by my relos in Savusavu, Rotuma and Rabi that am closely related to the Whippys and Mckenzies of Kasavu (Buca Bay) and also to the Lanyons in Savusavu.
I have come to know I few of them, but very grateful if relatives out there could reach out to me please.
Bula Shane, I'm fascinated by your post. I am a direct descent of the Whippys of Kasavu and my mother Emmaline Sarah Goulding (nee Wilder) grew up on Rabi Island when it was owned by the Lever Brothers. Her Grandfather was an Englishman, William Henry Wilder – the manager of the Rabi copra estate and his son (my Grandfather) Martin Wilder was also a manager there in the 1920's. HIs wife, Mariah Whippy (my Grandmother) was from Kasavu – most of her sisters married Simpsons. I have heard the name Lanyon so many times. On May 17, 2016, Mum turned 94 and her memory is very poor these days sadly, but she remains a very beautiful and graceful lady and in her good days was a treasure trove of family history. I'm completely fascinated by it all.
Hi Diana, Would you consider writing an account of the life of William Henry Wilder and his family and their contribution to Fiji for this website?
So you know if Margaret Randolf was related to Elizabeth Randolf.
The Bucknell family still has vast sheep stations in North Queensland, but since Mr Bucknell ran off to Fiji with the children's Governess, they have not forgiven him and have even expressed no interest whatsoever in a reconciliation with the Fiji branch.
I am the present owner of the Patterson home at the top of Nigau Hill, Levuka, Ovalau. Out of sheer curiosity and the fact that old family photos were left behind in the home, I have been researching Dora (Emma) Patterson's forbears, the Pattersons and the Simpsons and further back, David Whippy. Edgar Patterson, Dora's 92 year-old son, will be coming with eleven descendants this September to revisit his home town of Levuka. We have had many long email conversations, I visited him in New Zealand and he is very keen about his family history. I recently also met in Queensland by sheer chance a descendant of Stella Simpson (Dora's older sister) in Maleny, Queensland.
If you have any information you could add to this growing story, please let me know.
Can you provide some information about these and David Whippy as I am a descendant.. and are we related somehow..
Hi Rowena, just saw your post re David Whippy. His biography is currently being written. The author has been staying with us in SavuSavu. l am one of David Whippy's great great grandchildren. The book may be launched later this year at the Fiji Museum. It will be full of information about this esteemed man his family in Nantucket & the achievements & challenges he faced in very difficult times in early Fiji. It will be very interesting for many people & well worth purchasing.
Can't remember what my post is but I do have a wonderful photo of his daughter Emma, who married Matthew Simpson. Look forward to getting the book for the Dora Patterson's house, 'Nadugu', in Levuka. Dora was Emma's granddaughter.
If you are ever going to Levuka, let me know.
Your story sounds interesting – Is it possible to get the email contact of the Patterson family – Edgar?
And are you still staying up at the same place mentioned? Grateful for the response.
We are the descendants of William Berwick who is originally of African American descent and married to the 6th Vunivalu of Bau – Ratu Seru Cakobau after he was brought over by the Premier from Melbourne to build the large ships for the royal fleet. He was the son of a slave and his father won his freedom enabling William to travel on the traders ships into Australasia.
I am the grandson of Rev. Dr. Samuel Berwick PhD. (Litt.) and Adi Tokasa Lewamoqe, granddaughter of Ratu Timoci Tavanavanua (2nd Son Of Ratu Cakobau).
We live in Wellington, Auckland – NZ and also have family in Lautoka, Nadi and Suva – Fiji.
Bula Mr.Berwick! I know your descendant becoz I'm part of it. Have u ever done any research about that small historical piece of land in Draiba, Levuka-called Ucuna. That piece of land was given by Ratu Cakobau for Berwick descendants-all becoz of William Berwick. You're right, he build ships/boats for Ratu Cakobau. The foundation of Ratu Cakobau's house is still there-remember when I was a kid – 'It's a no-go zone'. A descendant of the Berwick family is there right now. My maternal grandmother is Sereima Dikoli and her other siblings are Ratu Ravuama Vunivalu, Nau Di Bera Kurusiga and Nau Divokili Pareti…..thanks….
Last Sunday evening sat on the land at Ucuna with my wife Alice, (nee Giborees and grand-daughter of Harry Eyre Berwick) trying to trace the Berwick story, and the connection to Ratu Cakobau. Still trying to connect the dots. We were speaking with Tuvou Tuidrokadroka. Any information on the line from William Berwick would be appreciated.
Vinaka for the text you have written. Please add me on Facebook, I would be happy to add to your research. Papa has passed down some very rich information.
Apologies Di Vokili, I missed Nau Di Tui's name. She is one of the siblings.
I am originally from Savu Savu Fiji and reside in Sydney. Would be interested to touch base with you regarding the Patterson Family and possibly sharing information of the Simpson Family and Stella Chapman.
Well, just good luck that I happened to be wasting time on the computer today for a change rather than working in the garden because it is absolutely bucketing in S.E. Queensland.and here I actually find a reply at last!
The Patterson family/Levuka – Dora and Reg Patterson – Dora being a Whippy descendant.
Although I am not a kailoma I have been the owner of Dora Patterson's family home in Levuka for several years now and find the family hisotry fascinating. Although I have contact with Edgar Patterson, Dora's son, who, at age 92, still lives in New Zealand, I would like to find other people who can tell me more about the family and the house itself. Given Levuka now has World Heritage Listing, I would like to be able to compile a story about the original owners and their home, their contribution to the town and Fiji to pass on to visiting tourists and other family members.
And, no doubt you're aware of D & R's Patterson's connection to the Patterson's of Ovalau – that is, Patterson Brothers Shipping Pty Limited. The Pattersons still manage the company after its first sail in 1928.
Good Evening Rowena, thank you for the reply and trying to reach me via Facebook.
I am in Levuka at present (679 3440032). Still have not heard from you.
Hello! Both my parents are kailomas and I would love to have them listed as well if possible. My paternal greatgrandfather is an Underwood from kadavu he married my great grandmother who is from Wallis and Futuna. They had four kids the oldest being my grandfather William Underwood who later married my grandma Unaisi who is from Yasawa. They have four kids and my dad William Underwood (jnr) is the second eldest.
My maternal grandfather is Larry Goodwin originally from the USA with French and American Indian blood. He first came to Fiji in 1973 as a peace corps and taught at the Govt Printing and later at the Fiji school of Printing which I believe is now part of FNU. He married my grandmother Maria Dulunaqio who is from Natokalau Kubulau Bua and they had their first and only child (my mum) Christine Elizabeth Goodwin in the year 1975. I believe my mum and grandfather are the only Goodwin's in Fiji so I think it would be nice to have them listed as well if possible.
Hi Grace, my grandmother was an Underwood from Kadavu which would mean we are probably related. What was your GG father's name?
The Morel (Morrell) (Morrel) clan originated from two brothers, Horace and Raymond, who grew up in Marylebone, London. Sons of Edward Morel (Normandy) pastrychef, and Elisa Weatherall, dairymaid. Horace arrived in Fiji mid 1800's and Raymond a few years later. The boys were graduates of a catholic college in the Midlands of the UK, and were not full Jesuits but trained as missionaries.
Horace's progeny are kailoma by virtue of Horace's wife Scylli, a native of Vanuatu, and are the majority of the Morels in Fiji to this day.
Raymond took his family of four to him and wife Meta Scheauch, a Berliner Jewess, and two oldest daughters to Meta of uncertain fatherhood, (possibly his brother Horace as Meta's first husband) to New Zealand in 1910.
Originally settling in Navua, the two boys had reasonably extensive dairy operations in the Rewa delta, and operated a steam launch, the Pioneer, as part of their trading business.
Hello, I noticed you missed the Knowles family. My father was Samuel Sanday and mother Lavinia Whippy. My father's mother was Caroline Knowles and her parents were Moses Ezra Knowles and Harrietta Danford. Ezra Knowles father was Charles Nisa Knowles of Tonga, his grandfather was Captain Josiah Nickerson Knowles from Massachusetts.
Hello, my Name is Fiona Bunn (Mafi). I had a question regarding Charles Nisa Knowles of Tonga. Do you anything more about him? I'm trying to research the history of my mother's family, who says that their line comes from a man named Charles Nisa.
Sorry for the late reply, I just found your message now. Yes Charles Nisa Knowles was half Tongan and married a Tongan who was the great granddaughter of Queen Pomare of Tahiti and Nobelman Inoke Fotu of Tonga, they had a daughter Vailolomoli Knowles. Charles later went to Fiji and married Caroline Knowles Sigatoka. Charles had a brother William Knowles and their father was James Knowles. He was apparently the son of Cpt. Josiah Nickerson Knowles. But that part is still unsubstantiated as Josiah was a whaling captain from Nantucket who was married already.
Hi, my paternal great grandmother was an Aitcheson from Ba. I too know little about this side of my family. I know she was Kai Loma who married my great grand father also Kai Loma Thomas Blakelock from Kadavu. Any more info would be appreciated.
Hi…Tom Blakelock married Ellen Aitcheson in Kadavu 1879.
James Thursfield Blakelock (Born 1861, Malowai, Kadavu) Married Ellen Aicheson, son Thomas James Blakelock, married Sophia Underwood, son Walter Alexander Blakelock married Marjorie Turner, son …me!
Hi Annette. I'm Ellen Aitcheson your father's sister. There were 10 of us and I'm the only one remaining. Our Aitchesons emanate from Robert Aitcheson, Boatbuilder, born 1825 Scotland, married 1865 Rewa, Fiji to Yandi Nai Akata who was born Raravatu, Fiji. Robert died 6 May 1888 at Rewa. His sibling was William. His son Robert Aitcheson, occ Sailor & Navigator/Locomotive Driver born 1872 in Rewa, married 1896 Suva, wife Emma Valentine born 1877 Taviuni Fiji died Rarawai siblings Stephen & Harry. He died 1918 Rarawai Fiji. His siblings were Thomas and John (Capt) who has a prominent grave on the hill in Labasa. Robert's son David Robert Aitcheson, occ Engineer/Grade A Grade Operator, born 1900 Vacala, Taviuni married 1922 Davuilevu to Victoria Maria Shepherd born 1907 Rewa died 1979 Suva, siblings Jessie, Louisa, Samuel Jack, Thomas Bob. David's siblings were Ellen, Elizabeth, Nelly and Agnes. He died 1955 at Verata, Fiji. I am his daughter and my siblings were June, Robert Frederick, John Jack, David, William Noel, Emma, Peter Valentine, Thomas Bob and Michael. Hope this helps. Rgds.
I was just reading through the comments and came across your comment. My mother's father was Peter Valentine Aitcheson. I have seen the birth certificate for Peter Valentine and his previous wife Caroline. M. Aitcheson, just to confirm if this was possibly the same ancestry. It's very lovely to learn something new every day.
Yes Chanel that's my brother. That wife of his was Caroline Trip from Lau. Hope you're okay. Rgds.
Just read your post, would you have any information on a marriage between Elsie Jackson (nee Pfeiffer) born Levuka and a Valentine, some time after 1917. Elsie was my great aunt.
I'm interested in my family history and was wondering if you would help. My mothers name was Rosalie Albert, daughter of Maria Albert née Faafili. The family is from Moataa via Kadavu Fiji.
I am the son of David & Ella (Hill) Bennion. David is the son of Niko Bennion and Elizabeth. Ella is the daughter of Lena Hill and Frank Thaggard.
Do you have any photos of your Father and his sisters?
I may have contacted you earlier but anyway I am a grandson of Niko Bennion and Elizabeth Aitcheson – my parents are David Bennion and Ella Hill.
I am searching for any photo of Elizabeth, but have been unsuccessful.
Also, do you know who Nelly married? I am married to Benau Hill daughter of Charles (Charlie Hill aka Ned Francis Hill).
Hi Annette I'm a McKenzie. Any name that you can remember that I can help you with. I'm on Facebook Mona McKenzie. Love to hear from you.
My dad's mum is Elizabeth – daughter of David Aitcheson and Victoria Shephard. Dad's father is Nicholas "Niko" Bennion.
Hi, what about the Yees…is it registered also? Is my grandfather also registered?
The Rogers family original European ancestor was a Spainiard by the name of Rodrigues. The family anglicised the name to Rogers during colonial rule to give them better access to employment with the government and British companies.
The Rogers originally intermarried with the Tuilevu family from Kadavu.
I have just discovered this site while tracking down the original William Simpson 'from Popular England'–my wife Sarah is a kailoma and a direct descendant of his–if you have any info about him eg exact date of birth or place of birth or parents etc would be helpful.
The real reason for this note is that you mention Rodriguez/Rogers in your post on 5/10/2015 and my family history involves the same names and changes. Coincidence? Who knows. So I would like to track back and see if I have rellies in the Fiji History. What can you tell me about them and their family back in London?
There is a facebook page the LANYONS & MY COUSIN IS SALOME LANYON BARO who is also on fb.
Do you have James Campbell, a Scot who left New Zealand after the death of his wife. Took his children, Mona Campbell, and Leslie James Campbell with him.
"1905: Went to live in Fiji. His plantation comprising 213 acres is situated near the town of Suva., on the large island of Viti Levu. Mr Campbell intends cultivating maize and peanuts, and raising cattle and goats. Married a Fijian woman." Remained there until after the beginning of WW2 when he moved to Sydney Australia.
Hello! My father is a Dyer and I always like to know where we're originated from, and who knows my grandfather's parents. My grandfather Sam Dyer (from what I heard) he was given a piece of land in Suvavou; Suva; Fiji by the Chief of Suvavou and that's where my grandfather's descended are today.
I would love to hear if anyone knows about my grandfather's parents or heard stories about them.
My maternal great grand-father was Henry Weber BAILEY – born 1876 Vagadace, Levuka on Ovalau – two older brothers – his father Richard BAILEY from Sussex – Dairyman of Levuka – wife Annie Maria née WEBER – from New South Wales (?). My mother's mother Frances Annie née BAILEY was born in 1902 in Sydney to Susannah Evangeline née GEARSIDE (died 1905) and Henry Weber BAILEY (died in Sydney – tram accident – in 1910). My grand-mother told me of a memory of her grand-mother BAILEY visiting her in Sydney – I presume it was pre-Great War.
I visited Fiji in January 1972. All I knew then (I was 22) was that my great grand-father was Henry BAILEY – born in Fiji. In the mid-1980s I sought his birth certificate – that told me he was born at Vagadace in (near) Levuka. I have been able to find nothing more. Recently a niece Jemima Rose née MERRITT (of the same BAILEY descent line) via a half-sister married a young chap from Fiji – all I know is his name – Paula NASOVASOVA – and that his parents are Methodist ministers (?). My niece and Paula have a child – Stella-Rosi – who according to this site is thereby "Kailoma"! Lucky her!
If anyone has any information on the BAILEY "Kailoma" story – relatives/links – I'd be most grateful.
Don't know if this is helpful. I went to school with a Charlie Bailey and his sister Diana in Lautoka in the 50s/60s. Diana married and sadly her husband passed away in an accident some years ago.
Some eight years later when William Henry (fill in history) died this left the three young children orphaned and they were taken into care by the Catholic Mission. Donald Henry was adopted by the French Marist Priests who baptized him 'Donald Henri (spelt the French way) de Bruce'.
Having inherited vast acres of land around Levuka and mainland Ra, which overlooks the Yasawa Group, Donald Henri decided to set up a copra plantation on Nanuya Lailai. As a shipwright's son he inherited his carpentry skills and built boats for other traders in the Yasawas, using eager-to-learn Fijians who soon took to the craft like ducks to water. One particular apprentice,Tokoni went on to build the 'Matanitu', one of the largest, sturdiest sail boats owned by a Fijian at that time. Tokoni came from neighbouring Matacawalevu, a large island with the longest beach apart from those on the mainland. The Catholic Mission of Vuaki was well established there and provided schools which served most of the islands in the group.
Grandpa Don also ran a general store where one could purchase almost anything one could possibly need for island living and if he lacked any particular item, he would pick it up from Lautoka on his next trip ashore. Perhaps it was because he had Scottish blood that Grandpa Don wasted nothing; he even bred pigs on the hillside. Such an enterprising entrepreneur had no trouble in persuading the local chief to give him the hand of his daughter, Marica. They settled down on this idyllic island, being completely self-sufficient and provided employment for the Yasawa people.
Before long, seven children, half Scottish-American and half-Fijian generated a melange of skin shades.
My mother, Andie Rose Barley, was born to Nakesa Luisa who was also from a chiefly clan of Waya Levu, in the Yasawa Group. Andie's father, John Charles Barley, an Oxford Don, hailed from Dorset in England. He was commissioned by the Colonial Office as District Officer of The Western Division in Fiji which also took him to various outposts in the South Pacific.
Only a decade ago a well respected local photo journalist told me that it was John Charles Barley, my maternal grandfather, who had introduced the Taralala or Tra la la. This was a rather sedate type of barn dance which he thought would discourage any sexual frivolities instigated by the sensual island style rhythmic movements. How wrong he was!
Barley also sired a son in Fiji, another one in the Solomon Islands and one in New Zealand; they were all given his name 'Jack', a derivation of John. Many years later when these now adult siblings discovered each other, the way they could differentiate between the sons was to call each of them after the country in which they were born: Fiji Jack, Solomon Jack and Kiwi Jack. Here was a batch of half-English and half-Fijian Kai Loma.
Wanting to know more on the Dods / Whippy family. My Grand father was John Cornelius Dods Born 1878 at Laulau Upper Rewa to John Rowe Dods & Mary Waigood Horsington.
What part of the Whippy family are you interested in I have quite a bit of background on them, my mother was a Whippy.
I would like to ask if your grandfather had any sons and what are their names because I am trying to make a trace on the Dods family as well sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi there. I've just recently been looking into my family history and am trying to piece together information that was in our family bible that was unfortunately buried with my great grandfather. I was wondering if anyone has any information about William McGoon and Emily Shackley of Vagadaci, Levuka, Ovalau. They are my great, great grandparents. Any information will be very helpful. Thanks.
Mere (Levuka Vakaviti). This Maraia was born, about 1849, in Vagadaci, Ovalau.
My interest is in Adi Maraia Macpherson's mother. If our families overlap perhaps you could give me details of her mother ….Adi Ciba.
My grandfather, William MacPherson, married Adi Ciba…..they lived on Cicia Island, 1888 to 1897, when Adi Ciba died. Their two children were Kini ( Kenneth) and Adi Maraia, born 1892. I would really appreciate any information on Adi Ciba, she was probably from Wailegi, Taveuni.
Bula Robert, I am Joseph McPherson the 4th generation of William McPherson and I am willing to help you. My dad is Benner McPherson the grand son of late William McPherson. I have some of the family tree that can give us information about our family connection. This is my cell ph #7074452 I am the executive chef at Novotel Nadi hotel, till today.
Bula Joseph. William McPherson was my great grandfather. I hope we can meet one day.
Would love to hear from you….
Luckier in 1917 at Wakaya?
Kini was rhe half brother of my mother.
I would be grateful if you could email me the information you have and also any photos so I could put names to faces. Thank you so much for all your help.
I am looking for information about the McPherson family history..
Interested to know if you have any information on my family background. My name is Nancy Evans daughter of Samuel Smith Evans and Sera Umuumulovo and granddaughter of George Bob Evans. I know that my grandfather was from Vanuabalavu because his mother was from there. My grandfather had brothers – Jack Evans, Moses Evans, Aca Evans and a sister Ana who is Mrs Ana Thomas.
Do you have any other information about my family history?
My name is MIkaele Ramanu. My grandmother is Elizabeth Evans, daughter of Robert Evans. He had two brothers, one is George, believed to be in Labasa, and Arthur Evans senior. His sons are Jack, Moses, and Captain Arthur Evans.
I would love to ask you a question, I have been into genealogy for many years and traced my family from Europe to the United States, recently my family members and I did a DNA test that showed I had 5% Melanesian DNA and they contained Melanesian DNA as well.
I have no idea who was Melanesian or if there is a link to Kai Loma in particular but being from the East Coast US, with all my ancestors settling there….it is extremely rare.
I was wondering if anyone heard rumors, or knew if a Kailoma descendants migrating to the US.
I'm not sure about the east coast but I know for sure in late 19th century white merchant ships were luring Pacific Islanders out of the Pacific on the promise of work, when the arrived in their respective countries they were forced into indentured servitude, my own great great grandfather wound up working in Nantucket for many years before finally making his way back to the Pacific with some missionaries. So yes it is entirely possible that your ancestors were Kailoma as, the Germans had been trading with the Fijians (and most likely enjoying the local women while ashore) since 1820's. The most evident German influence on the creation of the Kailoma in the Fiji islands is Rotuma where the locals have lighter skin and frequently have Scandinavian features such as green eyes, blondish wavy hair, very pretty.
Isireli that is very true. My g grandfather ran his business from Rotuma in the 1880s and married a Rotuman. He came from Denmark. One of the Norwegian's on his schooner also married a Rotuman and there were also several German traders there as well. Definitely got the Scandinavian genes there.
Thank you for your response, my sister did tell me one of my relatives was a wealthy Sea Captain with the last name of Stevens in the early 1800's from Massachusetts who did travel around the world.
I can see him being the only person to be connected to my Melanesian ancestry. Everyone else were poor farmers in the rural Mountains of Appalachia.
I do have a quite a bit of German ancestry but no information on their lives except many were farmers, I'm not aware of them traveling much apart from coming to America.
I have never found any information about these lost Melanesian ancestors and it would be a shame to lose them to history. The discriminatory ways of the past made many people hide who they were, I would really wish to know more about them.
Currently in Carlisle, MA planning move back home….Need to make a visit to Scotland to see my Great Grandmother's village/roots. Ema/Emma (don't know her Family name). She had a child with Ratu Epeli Ganilau and later married the Buli Nasinu, Ovalau (Family of Ilaitia Boila).
Any information at all would be very much appreciated. No I have not asked any close relatives in Qeleni, Somosomo,Taveuni and Kocoma nor aunts in Nasinu, yet. Just visited Qeleni this past January & March.
Anyone have information on the Black family??? My husband's grandfather is Moses Black, son of Charles Black and grandson of Philip Stuart Black.
I am trying to trace my family history on my paternal side. My father is JOSEPH Vanderlanh Smith, his father was Adamus Smith and his father was Otto Schmidt/Smith from Switzerland. My father was born in Nadroga. My fathers mother was Pansy Tausili.
I would love to hear from anyone you may know my fathers family. My mother is from Levuka.
"SNOW-Wimbledon-Surrey-England. Navua, Savulu Point, Ra (Nanukuloa)" – this is possibly a listing for my great grandfather Arthur John Snow, who was born on January 17, 1859, in Wimbledon, Surrey. His father was Luke Snow and his mother was Mary Henwood. Arthur married Janet Lawrie on June 14, 1887, in Fiji. They had eight children in 22 years. He died on September 2, 1930, in Fiji, at the age of 71. I would love to hear from anyone researching the same line.
Hi Emma. I am Rowena Snow 5th generation of Arthur & Janet Lawrie.
Hi Rowena, I'm descended from their daughter Mary Baker Snow. She was my father's mother. Do you know much about that side of the family?
I understand that your grandmother Mary was the youngest of the 8 siblings. Her brother Arthur Edward Snow is my great grandfather. I have most of the pictures of the siblings as well as the family tree. Email me on rowina.snow82@gmail.com and I can share most of these information with you. That means you are my Aunt. We still live on the place they acquire way back in the 1800 in Savulu Estate, Ra, Fiji.
Is there any history of the Evans that came to Fiji way back in the 1800's?
Rowena Snow is also researching the Snow family. I was the one who posted where he originated from. Have sent Rowena Snow the certificates for your great great grandfather, son of Luke Snow (as written on certificate).
I am trying to trace my grandfather he was said to be the District Officer in Savusavu during the 1950′ and would be grateful if anyone has got any information.

William BURRAH's, occuaption is recorded as tea planter His parents names unknown. Sarah Anne WHIPPY is the daughter of Thomas WHIPPY (agricuturist) and Pasemaca of Wainunu.
I am looking for information on the Emily Pickering family from Fiji. Information I have is very little other than she was in Fiji in the late 1960s – may have had a son, Herbert.
I am Agnes Mitchell. I have paternal links to Qamea. I am a 5th Generation Mitchell in Fiji. My first link to Fiji married this Lovoni chief's daughter – Adi Matila Maramanikaiviwa. Wondering if you have any further information about this lady.
Paul Hoerder came from Hamburg, Germany to Fiji and met a Fijian lady from Taveuni who was a Kailoma, her surname was Underwood. Paul went into business with Mr. W. A. R. Evers (whom my father and brother are named after) as my grandfather did not want to lose the German connection. They had a child (Great Grandmother), who then my grandfather Elia Hoerder. Elia married my grandmother Emeli from Oinafa in Rotuma and had my father and 6 other children. My father's name is Ben Evers Hoerder.
I'm doing a Family History course at present, thus any information is important. My what a large and far reaching family we have.
My parents are both Kailomas – Isaac Underwood, son of Gilbert and Bulou Milika of Kadavu and my mum is Sarafina Wedlock, daughter of William and Ana of Vunimono village.
My dad's siblings are John (rip), Cyril and Gilbert Thomas. My mum's siblings from her dad's side are Harold, Christine, Thomas (rip), Venina and Alena and are all overseas. From her mum's side, Kesaia (rip), John and Apenisa Sassen.

Please give my regards to them and they can contact me.
A plea for information from Aotearoa, New Zealand.
I am looking for info on what I believe is the Mills line of which we are thought to descend. My grandmother, Mary Buffett nee Gordon (Scottish father, Kailoma mother – we think) was born in Fiji but migrated to Norfolk Island as a baby where her family settled before settling in New Zealand. We have strong ties to Norfolk Island as my grandfather Arthur Buffett was a direct descendent of the Tahitian women, and the men of the Bounty. I would like to investigate more about my grandmothers heritage as it is really our missing link.
We believe that our family may be from Bua, Vanua Levu but are unsure of particulars.
We were raised thinking my grandmothers family had/or worked on banana plantations but now know this may have in fact have been coconut plantations?
I am particularly interested in hearing any information about an Aunt who lived in a Catholic convent in Fiji, we are unsure of her role on the convent grounds and know little about her. Her name was Laura Gordon and she went by the name Lol or Lole.
I would be interested in any information that anyone might have, some cuzzies out there perhaps? My grandmother was an incredibly special and spiritual lady, however did not share much of her knowledge about her Fijian roots (I'm not sure how much she knew herself).
I am also trying to find out more about the Mills family. Your grandmother Mary Buffett was my Father, Tom Gordon's older sister. My wife and I are planning to visit Grandma Gordon's home village, Wainunu, Bua, on the Island of Vanua Levu in the near future.
I have now seen your message! So exciting to talk to you this morning and to meet up soon. FYI in case my email doesn't make it, you can contact me on emily.auvaa@gmail.com (personal) or emilya@lincolnheights.school.nz or on 021870022 or 098382561.
Hi, I am hoping someone may help in tracing my ancestors who lived in Fiji.
In Sep 1872, William Edward Mackie sailed from Sydney to Fiji on the Scotsman. I believe my great great grandmother Helen or Ellen Marion Blanche Mackay born Mackie, his sister, then possibly separated, widowed, or newly remarried, accompanied him on the voyage. At some time before 1876 she married Richard Leigh either before she left Sydney or in Fiji.
The Fiji Times records that in Feb 1874 Richard Leigh & William George Weston, whom Helen married in June 1876 in Loma Loma, were jurymen on the inquest in Levuka into the death of William Brewer, co-owner of Brewer & Joske's Sugar Mill & Plantation.
According to an 1884 birth certificate Helen appears to have borne an unnamed son (deceased by 1884), possibly in Fiji to William Weston, then had two daughters to him in Queensland. His occupation was recorded as master mariner. It is possible he may have left Helen sometime after 1887.
A William Weston sailed on the Ovalau from Levuka to Auckland in 1892. In 1893 a William Weston, seaman, drowned in Sydney. According to my cousin Loloma, one of her grandchildren Helen operated a trading post in Fiji. Helen died in Brisbane in 1943 aged 97. Her brother possibly left Fiji for New Zealand in 1879.
Your help would be most appreciated, thanks Candy.
Hi Candy, My grandmother is Sera Mackay, and her father was Hugh Henry Mackay born between 1870 and 1875… Do you have any other information of the Mackay's? Would love to know.
My name is Stephanie Kila Cardigan. I'm searching for my family tree by the name of Cardigan family Savusavu.
Hi Stephanie, will update you of the Cardigan family once I'm able to retrieve the Family tree from my desk top at home… My mother is a Shute… great grand daughter of Thomas Henry Eaton Shute from Boston USA.
I didn't see the name Perry. He was my Grandfather. His name is James Russell Perry. He was from England. He had to 2 Daughters, one was Janet Perry. She was known as Dolly and the other daughter was Estella & she was known As Mini. The woman he was living with, her name was Janet Myra Wilson & she was my Grandmother & she was from Savusavu.
I am searching for any information on the Evans brothers that came to Fiji from Wales. I know one was John (Jack) Evans who was married to Rose Mary Hamilton. I am also seeking any info on the Hamilton family as well as the Manley family. Any info on any of these three families would be great.
Don't know any Fiji Manleys but there was a farmer called Manley in my area in Queensland and my street is named after him (Manley Drive, Montville).
Hello! My name is Hugo Schierling, borned in Buenos Aires, Argentina (1965 -). My father was Hugo Charly Schierling (1931 – 2009) born in Uruguay. My grandfather was Hugo Schierling (12/04/1883 – 1955), born in Hamburg, Germany, and as I know, he lived a couple of years in Fiji, where he had children.
I´ve read on this website that Leonard Charles Benjamin Schierling (03/03/1908 – 11/10/1998), was born in Suva, Fiji. He married Nora Adelaide Schierling (born Eastgate) and they had 4 children Mavis Tilly Anna Schierling, married with McCullum, and three more.
I don´t know if there is a relationship between Leonard Charles Benjamin Schierling and my grandfather Hugo Schierling.
There was a Mavis Schierling, born 1932/1933 in my Std1 class, 1941 class in Suva Grammar, I have a Form class photo which, if it is the correct one, I could e-mail.
My grandmother is a Mills from Waidranudranu in Wainunu, Bua.
The first Mills that settled in Wainunu was Henry Mills, he had only one son and the rest where girls. I believe your great grandmother is one of Henry Mills daughters.
I am actually drafting our family tree (Mills side) and according to my grandmother one of Henry's daughters, Eteci/Edith married a Mr Gordon (from NZ).
According to my grandmother, Mr Gordon was friends with Arthur Mills (Henry Mills' son) that's when she met Eteci/Edith. (Edith/Eteci is Arthur's younger sister). They (Mr Gordon and Eteci) had a daughter named Lora.
Send me a email if you want to know more. Would love to know more from your end too.
Hi, Please I want to know more about Charles Howard.

The progress of Pippa
Pippa Middleton becomes a contributing editor for 'Vanity Fair'
Pippa Middleton is most definitely someone who could be described as polarising. Some resent and mock her. Others admire her for having panache and being enterprising. Miss Middleton, the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, to the surprise of some, has recently added another string to her bow and become a contributing editor to Vanity Fair.
Announcing the appointment, Graydon Carter, the magazine's editor, commented:
"We're delighted to have Pippa as a contributor to Vanity Fair… She's a keen observer of classic British pastimes. She is also an avid sportswoman, and we look forward to her take on traditional English pursuits, beginning with Wimbledon".
Pippa Middleton is now a contributing editor for "Vanity Fair"
"The Huffington Post" joined the many media organisations making fun of Graydon Carter's decision with this mocked up spoof cover
Carter's decision attracted wide-scale criticism from many, but Daisy Buchanan of The Guardian sensibly surmised that:
"Vanity Fair is a society magazine, and Middleton leads the kind of socially active existence that its readers identify with or aspire to. She might not be able to write searing political commentary, but she can use the knowledge and skills that her connections bring her in a practical way… If one of Carole Middleton's children can land a coveted editorial position in this difficult climate, maybe there is hope for all of us".
Game, set and match.

Vanity Fair's appointment is based on Pippa's Royal connections. Merit has nothing to do with it
Katie Price is newspaper colomnist too. No experience or formal education in the field required.
Anne Dunhill June 9, 2013	At	10:31 am
Is that cover real? If so, I shall certainly buy the issue, in which case Pippa has contributed something already!
Matthew Steeples June 9, 2013	At	10:33 am
It was a spoof from "The Huffington Post". Got the email from Basia. Will be in touch.
Pete Wayde June 9, 2013	At	10:53 pm
I thought Camilla Long was in fine fettle deconstructing Mrs Middleton in last week's Sunday Times..
Mrs M is the Mrs Bennett of our times-and to have achieved all from Southall…
Such skilled and calculated social climbing makes her a latterday Bess of Hardwicke
Tracy Kauffman- Author June 10, 2013	At	7:16 am
Of course connections play a role, but that only means she will have to work harder to stand amongst the critics while jealousy takes a key position.
Pete Wayde June 10, 2013	At	11:52 am
I fear it's not jealously: merely surprise that Vanity Fair( once enjoying a position of substance) needs resort to this sort of ploy….
The other issue is that by grabbing every conceivable opportunity to promote themselves the Middleton clan do rather give the impression that they are rather money driven….which clearly they are. In itself, that is not a problem but if it seems they are hijacking their daughter's position to coin it in they could be seen as mercenary
Odds of Donald Trump pardoning mucky madam Ghislaine Maxwell move to 50/1 from 3/1 earlier just as Joe Exotic's supporters start planning a "pizza party" for him.

I don't care who, where or how old you are; whether you're well traveled or no, male, female, black, white, purple, whatever:
Everyone in the world should have a bucket list. Whether it's things you want to achieve this week, by the end of the year or simply by the time you're old and grey, having a bucket list will motivate you and make the things you want to do realistic. Mine is massively travel focused because I am an itchy-footed mother f*cker BUT a bucket list should be about anything… Whether you want to visit NYC, learn a new language or get on the property ladder by a certain age, make it a tangible goal and do what you need to to do.
Don't be one of those people who just tuts and says, "I want to do that one day", and then goes back to the grind without giving it any conscious thought. Don't be laid out on your death bed, all depressed and moany, all "Darn, I should have written a goddamn bucket list like Jo told me to because now I'm on my death bed moaning about all the things I never did." Write it down, work through it, do it.

News articles and recently released reports (1, 2) from the State Oceanic Administration (SOA) show that pollution and overfishing led to 96 red tides in 2004, 20 of which were toxic. Red tides are high concentrations of algae in seawater that not only may cause the water to appear reddish in color but also may be toxic. Red tides are detrimental to marine life and the ecosystem and can be harmful to humans. Most of the reported red tides occurred in the East China Sea, where the polluted Yangtze River flows into the ocean, and in the Bohai Bay. The tides have harmed China's coastal fishing industry, as illustrated in several articles appearing in the China Daily in 2004 (1, 2).
The Chinese government recently announced plans to cooperate with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Global Environment Facility to address marine pollution and the preservation of China's coastal areas. The government has also created a red tide monitoring system, according to a September 2004 article in the China Daily. The SOA's 2004 report says that government authorities are continuing monitoring and warning efforts and will continue to work to prevent products contaminated by toxic red tides from being sold on the open market. Moreover, according to a December 2004 China Daily article, the Fisheries Bureau at the Ministry of Agriculture is implementing controls on fishing to prevent further deterioration of the coastal marine environment.
The State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) has also taken steps to address the problem, according to a May 2004 China Daily article on red tides. Pan Yue, Vice Director of SEPA, stressed the need to reduce pollution in the Yangtze River to prevent red tides. An August 2004 China Daily article discusses SEPA/SOA joint inspection of the causes of the marine pollution. Since that time, SEPA has begun a number of campaigns and implemented new legislation to protect China's water sources.
