Fara (Rotuman Festivity)
Fara (literally, "to ask" in Rotuman) is a traditional Rotuman cultural and social event, occurring in the summertime festival of " av’ manea" ("party time" in Rotuman) where groups of singers and dancers traverse from house to house in a prescribed area to perform and entertain their hosts, "asking", as the name suggests, for their hospitality and participation. Manea’ hune’ele, the forerunner to fara It is believed that fara traces its roots back to the "manea’ hune’ele" (beach parties) of old, where young people would picnic at the beach from late afternoon through night-time, singing, dancing and making-merry. For young people it was primarily undertaken as a carefree environment in which they could spend time with prospective partners without the prying eyes of a normal close-knit Rotuman community. However, the politically powerful churches, particularly the Methodist Church, fearing the rise in immoral behaviour resulting from such licentious escapades, and fam ...

Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft
The Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) program was initiated by the United States Army in 2018 to develop a successor to the Bell OH-58 Kiowa scout helicopter as part of the Future Vertical Lift program. The OH-58 was retired in 2017; three prior programs for a successor were cancelled prior to reaching production: Light Helicopter Experimental (1982–2004, resulting in the Boeing–Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche), Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (2004–06, resulting in the Bell ARH-70 Arapaho), and Armed Aerial Scout (2012–13, evaluating commercial off-the-shelf designs). Several billions of dollars were spent without delivering any new helicopters to service, due to this cycle of development and cancellation. During this time the armed scout role was filled primarily by the Vietnam-era OH-58, which was finally retired in the late 2010s, leaving the Army to use attack helicopters to fill in this role. Design contracts for FARA candidates were awarded in April 2019 t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
