Tahiti and the Challenges of Resettling Mai. Guest Author: Hampton Sides. The expedition arrived in Tahiti in August 1777, where the crew was eager for recreation. Cook's primary task was finding a home for Mai, who had returned from England with a hoard of treasures, including muskets and armor. Cook worried about Mai's status as a commoner and tried to arrange a marriage for him to protect his wealth, but Mai refused. Sides also highlights the importance of the "red feather" trade; Cook had discovered that these feathers were a royal currency in the islands, effectively allowing him to "change the economy" to secure supplies. Despite the idyllic setting, Cook's internal pressures and concerns for Mai's precarious future continued to mount. 41876 FIJI

Rage on Moorea and Farewell to Mai. Guest Author: Hampton Sides. Tensions escalated on the island of Mooreaduring the "Goat Incident," where the theft of a pregnant nanny goat triggered a "scorched earth" campaign from Cook. He destroyed huts and canoes in a disproportionate rage that shocked his officers. Sides suggests this was a desperate attempt to protect Mai's future property by making an example of theft. After dropping Mai off at Huahine in a bittersweet farewell, the ships turned toward Alaska. Mai eventually died of disease a few years later, failing to reclaim his ancestral lands despite his English weapons. Cook, meanwhile, was increasingly seen by his men as a "darker" version of his former self as he pushed north. 51899 FIJI

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Mondays Down Under, hosts Lee Salisbury, Shane Melrose, and Nick take listeners behind the scenes of awards season, conference travel, industry recognition, and the importance of networking within the swimming pool industry. From award ceremonies across Australia to upcoming conferences and trade shows, the conversation explores how professional development, industry engagement, and relationship building continue to shape successful pool businesses. Episode HighlightsAwards Season Across Australia and New ZealandLee shares her experience attending both the ACT and New South Wales industry awards ceremonies, celebrating outstanding achievements from pool builders, technicians, retailers, and service professionals. The hosts discuss the significance of industry recognition and the challenges many professionals face when considering self-nomination for awards. The Challenge of Self-NominationThe discussion explores why many highly qualified professionals hesitate to put themselves forward for awards, despite being deserving candidates. The hosts examine potential alternatives, including peer nominations, and discuss ways industry organizations might encourage greater participation from technicians, retailers, and service professionals. What Really Happens Behind the Judging ProcessLee offers insight into the award judging process, explaining how applications are reviewed, scored, and evaluated by multiple judges. The conversation highlights the extensive effort that goes into ensuring fairness and recognizing excellence across a wide range of industry categories. Recognizing Excellence in the Pool IndustrySeveral award winners and finalists are recognized throughout the episode, including discussions about the qualities that separate outstanding businesses and professionals from the rest of the field. The hosts emphasize the importance of technical expertise, customer service, mentorship, and industry leadership. The Value of Industry ConferencesThe conversation shifts to conference season, with discussions about supplier conferences, trade events, educational opportunities, and networking experiences. The hosts share stories from conferences held in destinations including New Zealand, Fiji, Vietnam, Thailand, Israel, and beyond. Why Networking MattersBeyond product training and education, the hosts explain how conferences create opportunities to build relationships, exchange ideas, learn from peers, and develop lifelong friendships within the industry. These connections often prove just as valuable as the formal educational sessions themselves. Looking Ahead to SplashWith the upcoming Splash Trade Show approaching, the hosts preview educational sessions, industry forums, awards presentations, networking events, and opportunities for listeners to connect with the Talking Pools team in person. Winter Recharge Before Summer ReturnsAs the southern hemisphere enters winter, the discussion concludes with a reminder about the importance of rest, recovery, and preparing for the next busy season. The hosts encourage business owners and staff alike to use the quieter months to recharge and invest in professional development. Key Takeaways Industry awards recognize far more than popularity—they reward professionalism, technical expertise, and dedication.  Many deserving professionals never enter awards due to reluctance around self-promotion.  Conferences provide education, networking, and valuable business-building opportunities.  Strong industry relationships often lead to better business outcomes and lifelong professional connections.  The quieter winter months offer an important opportunity to recharge before the demands of the next season arrive. Connect With Talking PoolsHave a topic suggestion or question for the Talking Pools Podcast Network?

Alors que la Chine poursuit son ascension économique et politique, l'Indo-Pacifique est désormais au coeur du débat stratégique occidental. Pourtant, une zone est bien souvent absente des discussions : l'Océanie, et les îles du Pacifique en particulier. Loin de n'être que des morceaux de terre perdus au milieu de l'océan, celles-ci sont en réalité des acteurs politiques à part entière, avec une agentivité et des intérêts propres, capables, malgré leur taille, d'influer sur les équilibres géostratégiques de la région.Pour mieux saisir les singularités de cette zone, Simon Desplanque reçoit Elise Barandon, doctorante à l'Université Panthéon-Assas, officier de réserve dans la Marine nationale et co-éditrice au Rubicon. Au micro de 20 Minutes pour Comprendre, elle revient sur les caractéristiques géographiques et historiques de l'Océanie et analyse les dynamiques géopolitiques qui traversent le Pacifique insulaire, en croisant le regard des grandes puissances extérieures avec celui des (micro-)États qui composent la région.Invitée : Elise BarandonAvec Simon DesplanqueLien vers l'un des articles d'Elise Barandon : https://lerubicon.org/mercy-masta-le-changement-climatique-les-inegalites-la-criminalite-et-le-manque-dinfrastructures-constituent-des-menaces-bien-plus-importantes-pour-la-papouasie-nouvelle-guinee-que/Suivez le podcast !

Paul gives us his insight from the Fiji PRO... Cloud Break firing

A few words after watching the documentary 'Stories from the blue Frontier'.

Two more islanders were voted out of the villa and while it might not be shocking who they sent home, it was surprising why the women chose Gabe over Caleb. It was also pretty damn satisfying to hear Sol’s reaction to the villa, calling it “couples island” rather than “love island.” Also, the episode was worth a watch solely for her confrontation with Sincere. All the drama on Thursday sets up an explosive night in Fiji tonight, with the boys outraged by the girls’ decision to dump Gabe because they claimed he was always looking for the next bombshell.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MJ finished "Widow's Bay", and they are both thinkin', NO ISLANDS! Brooklyn Beckham is the goss' of the week as the Beckham's seem to be fighting through Doordash ads, Olivia Rodrigo and other artists let errrrybody know about those shitters who diaper up and plant themselves at the barrier, and how EVEN THE ARTIST CAN SMELL THEM.

Monday Headlines: New poll has Pauline Hanson as preferred PM Trump tells all sides to ‘stand down’ amid peace talks Nine-year-old Australian girl killed in Pakistan Renewed calls for a Sydney shark cull after Coogee attack Socceroos stun in World Cup opener against Turkiye Deep Dive: A proposed $900 million waste-to-energy plant in Fiji sparked fierce criticism before it was ultimately rejected, with opponents warning the nation risked becoming the "Pacific's ashtray" and accusing Australia of engaging in "waste colonialism". The project has reignited debate around waste-to-energy technology, which supporters say can reduce landfill and generate electricity, but critics argue risks creating a dependence on burning waste rather than reducing it. In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with environmental researcher Professor Ray Wills about the Fiji proposal, the future of waste-to-energy in Australia, and whether burning rubbish is a necessary part of solving the country's growing waste problem.

"Before surrendering to the fly-and-flop horizontal pleasures of a Denarau resort or a palm-fringed island getaway, why not add a scoop of culture and history to your Fijian getaway? On my latest jaunt to Fiji, rather than just breezing through the gateway city of Nadi, I laid over for a couple of nights and was amply rewarded by dipping into the local sights. For a hearty dollop of culture and local insights, I locked in a cracking Discover Nadi sightseeing tour with Go Local Fiji Tours.

Season 8 of “Love Island USA” is here at last. And as Ariana Madix put it: “We're so back.” She's right. Summer is back, we're back, and the beauty of watching sex idiots find love in a villa in Fiji is also back. Life is good. We're watching hotties in bikinis swap spit, explain astrology (badly), and cut up apples (even more badly). And before episode 1 has even ended… the bombshells have entered the villa.

The drama has already begun in the Fiji villa. Spoiler Alert: We now have two islanders who are “single and vulnerable.” As the uncomfortable on-screen kissing continues, so do the awkward getting-to-know you conversations. The final fire pit scene ends with a sarcastic air kiss and an eat sh*t look from the woman this show may not want to lose, Kenzie, who’s quickly becoming must see tv (for all the wrong reasons).

Misha Glenny and guests discuss how, after the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833, sugar planters recruited workers from India to replace or compete with their formerly enslaved labourers. Over the next 90 years, more than a million people in India travelled under five year contracts of indenture across the empire from Guyana to Trinidad to Mauritius and Fiji and colonies in between. These indentured labourers were to share vivid accounts of deception and abuse, especially in the early decades. From the outset there were critics and opposition gained pace with Gandhi and others in South Africa arguing the system was close to slavery and calling for the Indian government to stop the practice, which was to happen in 1917 with the last shipments of people in the 1920s. Meanwhile, rather than return after their contracts, a section of indentured labourers stayed where they were for their own reasons, negotiating their new identities alongside formerly enslaved people and the planter culture in a new Indian diaspora.With Purba Hossain Lecturer in Modern History at the University of YorkNeha Hui Associate Professor in Economics at the University of ReadingAnd Clem Seecharan Emeritus Professor of History at London Metropolitan UniversityProduced by Simon TillotsonReading list:Gaiutra Bahadur, Coolie Woman: The Odyssey of Indenture (Hurst and Co., 2013)Marina Carter, Servants, Sirdars and Settlers: Indians in Mauritius, 1834-1874 (Oxford University Press, 1995)Marina Carter and Khal Torabully, Coolitude: An Anthology of the Indian Labour Diaspora (Anthem Press, 2002)Jonathan Connolly, Worthy of Freedom: Indenture and Free Labor in the Era of Emancipation (University of Chicago Press, 2024)Maria del Pilar Kaladeen and David Dabydeen (eds.), The Other Windrush: Legacies of Indenture in Britain's Caribbean Empire (Pluto Books, 2021)Neha Hui and Uma S.
