# Roko Sau

Sau Mai Kedekede now more commonly referred to as Sau ni Vanua ko Lau is one of the preeminent titles held by the Paramount Chief of the Lau Islands in Fiji.

## History

The title Sau Mai Kedekede originates from the Tongan word “Hau”, denoting the divine nature of the Tu'i Tonga suggesting the frequent intercourse amongst the chiefly houses of Lakeba and Tonga in pre-Christian times. The title of Sau is considered much older and is independent of the title Tui Nayau, now held in tandem by the Paramount Chief of the Lau Islands, as its original holders were from the island of Lakeba (pre-Vuanirewa dynasty).
The first recorded holder of the title was Qilaiso of the Cei-e-kena clan. The Sau title eventually merged in time with the title Tui Nayau, and its dual usage commenced in the person of Rasolo. Both titles Sau Mai Kedekede and Tui Nayau are now inextricably linked, and heirs succeeding to the title Tui Nayau cannot do so unless recognised and installed as Sau Ni Vanua.

## The installation

The investment ceremony for the Sau Ni Vanua takes place in Tubou on Lakeba. Once the elders of the Vuanirewa have endorsed the successor to the previous Tui Nayau, the Ramasi or chief makers and Vakavanua being chief herald are summoned to undertake the ceremony. The Ramasi consists of the Tui Tubou and the Tui Nasaqalau and the vanua represented by the Vakavanua of Ceiekena and Tui Soso (from Nukunuku village). During the ceremony the recipient will have a piece of bark cloth tied on his arms by each of the Ramasi and the coronation turban or salasiga placed upon his head by the Vakavanua. He also receives the coronation cup containing kava from the Vuanirewa Nobles, which he must drink to affirm his becoming Sau Ni Vanua O Lau. This is then followed by a general kava ceremony where principal chiefs of rank in Lau drink in turn, ceremonial titles are conferred by the Sau and gifts are presented by his people. The Sau's installation concludes with the removal of the arm bands and ritual bath after four days.

## Title holders

The historical holders of the title of Sau Mai Kedekede:
Of the Ceiekena Dynasty (16–17th century):
* Qilaiso
* Bativanua
* Ginigini
* Vuakilau or Fuakilau

* Codro
The Vuanirewa Dynasty (mid-18th century to present) (title merges with Tui Nayau title in the person of Rasolo)

# Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye

Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye is a 2009 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Madhureeta Anand and starring Randeep Hooda, Raima Sen, and Arbaaz Khan. The title of the film was based on the song of the same name from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995).

## Cast

* Randeep Hooda as Jai Hoods
* Raima Sen as Maya V. Singh, Jai's love interest / Meera
* Arbaaz Khan as Vikram Singh, Maya's husband
* Suhasini Mulay as Mrs. Mathur
* Neil Bhoopalam as Ali
* Juhi Pandey as Tanya
* Javed Akhtar as a judge
* Ashwini Kalsekar as Mrs. Kapoor

## Production

Randeep Hooda was cast to play eighteen characters. He learned the flute and Raima Sen learned the harmonica.

## Release

The Hindustan Times gave the film a rating of one-and-half out of five stars and wrote that "If this film was meant to be about women’s empowerment, fantasy is a strange way to go. If it was meant to be a caper, the few laughs it raises are entirely unintentional". The Times of India gave the film the same rating and wrote that "Was it supposed to be about female empowerment, wish fulfilment, self-realisation or clandestine romance? Can't say, 'cause nothing really comes through in this completely garbled venture which sees Raima Sen sharing sweet nothings with ready-for-a-fancy-dress Randeep Hooda who happens to be as unreal as the film itself". Indian Express wrote that "This could have been a nice, light-hearted lark. What we get instead is a lost opportunity, top lining Arbaaz who doesn't get to crack a single smile, Raima who tries very hard to rise above the script, and major irritant Randeep, who changes costumes and strikes poses".

# Red Peak (Madera County, California)

Red Peak is an 11,699-foot-elevation (3,566-meter) mountain summit located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Madera County of northern California, United States. It is situated in Yosemite National Park, approximately 10.5 miles (16.9 km) southeast of Yosemite Valley, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south-southeast of Gray Peak, and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northwest of Merced Peak, the nearest higher neighbor. Red Peak is the second-highest peak in the Clark Range, which is a subset of the Sierra Nevada. This geographical feature's brilliant color is caused by iron-bearing minerals weathered to an iron rust which colors the granite.

## History

The peak's name originated as "Red Mountain" as it was called by the Whitney Survey. The Red Peak name was officially adopted in 1932 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. The California Geological Survey had climbed this peak by 1870, and in 1920 Ansel Adams placed a Sierra Club cylinder-type register at the summit.

## Climate

According to the Köppen climate classification system, Red Peak is located in an alpine climate zone. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range (orographic lift). Precipitation runoff from this mountain drains into tributaries of the Merced River.
