BATI NI TANOA - TAVUA
Date: 25th October
Time: 6pm – 10:30pm
Venue: Garvey Park, Tavua
Featuring our Bati ni Tanoa personalities Nimi, Ben, Lopo and Charlie! The show
began with Bula FM birthday dedication whereby the crowd was treated to Bula gm
birthday cake!
Our house band for the night was Waikoula kei Tavua who is originally from Tavua which made it even more successful as they were playing for their family and
friends in their hometown.
Despite the weather, crowds turned up in numbers to see their TV celebrities perform live with their jokes and natural Fiji humour and local dance skills entertain
the crowd for almost 4 hours!
The event also had food stalls and light stalls to keep the children busy and also
keep the stomachs full.
This event also featured the very first Bati ni Tanoa Tshirts, which was also a hot
commodity on the night with only three t-shirts unsold. XL sizes were the first to finish on the night!
Our next Bati Ni Tanoa show will be in Labasa in January! So keep checking our FBC
TV and listening into our six stations for more information!
PARK JAM - LAUTOKA
Date: 15th November Time: 6pm – 11:30pm Venue: Carnival Grounds, Lautoka
This event was created to target the whole family of all ethnic backgrounds. Therefore we had a wide selection of performances that featured well with our multicultural community in Lautoka. We also had tones of food stalls, rides for the kids,
candyfloss etc.
We had buses come from Ba on the night for those that wanted to be part of this
event. Not only were the crowd there to see the show, they were also there to see
and meet their favourite personalities. We had crowds of people visiting the backstage and calling our personalities by name and saying hello and wanting to take
pictures with them. We had a kid in a wheel chair just come to visit to meet his favourite breakfast show hosts, Tix and Sophie.
The event was a huge success in the Lautoka with the local business displaying fireworks during the event which made it look like it was part of the event.
We look forward to making it bigger and better every year!

This month’s spotlight is on Dehydration. With temperatures in Fiji hitting over 33 degrees this festive season, everyone needs
to be aware of the dangers that dehydration can pose to one’s health. So read and be aware.
What is dehydration?
Water is a critical element of the body, and keeping the body adequately hydrated is a must to allow the body to function. Up
to 75% of the body’s weight is made up of water.
Dehydration occurs when the amount of water leaving the body is greater than the amount being taken in. The body is very
dynamic and always changing. This is especially true with water in the body. We lose water routinely when we:
•
breathe and humidified air leaves the body (this can be seen on a cold day when you can see your breath in the air,
which is just water that has been exhaled);
•
sweat to cool the body; and
•
Eliminate waste by urinating or having a bowel movement.
What are the signs and symptoms of dehydration?
The body’s initial responses to dehydration are thirst to increase water intake, and decreased urine output to try to conserve
water loss. The urine will become concentrated and more yellow in colour.
As the level of water loss increases, more symptoms can become apparent. The following are further signs and symptoms of
dehydration.
•
Dry mouth
•
The eyes stop making tears
•
Sweating may stop
•
Muscle cramps
•
Nausea and vomiting
•
Heart palpitations
•
Light-headedness (especially when standing)
•
Weakness
•
Decreased urine output
With severe dehydration, confusion and weakness will occur as the brain and other body organs receive less blood. Finally,
coma, organ failure, and death eventually will occur if the dehydration remains untreated.
How much water should one drink?
In a normal day, a person has to drink a significant amount of water to replace this routine loss.
The formula for daily fluid requirements depends upon an individual’s weight. Normally, fluid and weight are calculated using
the metric system; however, below is the approximation in imperial units.
Body weight
Daily fluid requirements (approximate)
10 pounds15 ounces
20 pounds30 ounces
30 pounds40 ounces
40 pounds45 ounces
50 pounds50 ounces
75 pounds55 ounces
100 pounds50 ounces
150 pounds65 ounces
200 pounds70 ounces
If you would like to calculate your body weight and daily fluid requirements using the metric system, please use this formula.
•
For the first 10kg (kilogram) of body weight the daily fluid intake required is 100cc (or ml) per kg.
•
For the next 10kg of body weight, the fluid required is an additional 50 cc/kg.
•
For every additional kg of body weight, an additional 10cc/kg is required

Each month we publish one of our very own staff favorite home cooked recipes. This
month, Ms. Vika Naisoro, one of our Bula FM announcer shares her favorite Seafood in
Coconut Milk Recipe.
As we prepare to see off 2013 … it sure has been a year of highs and lows in sports.
There have been tears, laughter, joy, pain and glory amongst others that have been experienced by
players, participants and fans alike. Whether you are a fan or a neutral, you sure will have a memory entrenched about a particular sporting event. As I begin to sign off for 2013, I want to take this time out to
thank all our fans of Fiji Broadcasting Corporation via our six radio stations and FBC TV.
Pleasing your demands was our priority and for sure we can say that we have learnt lots in the process.
This has helped us to begin preparation for 2014, where we promise to come out with bigger and better
sporting coverage. But one thing is for sure, that without you the listeners and viewers, we will not have
been able to be where we are right now. So a big thanks to you and happy holidays to you folks.
And one best thing to happen to Fijian sports in 2013 has to be Ben ‘Peni’ Ryan, the national sevens
coach. This former England mentor has transformed the code and heading into the New Year, we can
surely say that our dream for the 206 Olympics is firmly on track.
Starting with the Coral Coast 7s, where I met Ryan up in the commentary box, next to ours, he was
watching every game. This certainly made us sit up and take notice. I mean when was the last time we
had mentor watching every single game in a tournament and then ticking his side for the tournaments.
He showed great enthusiasm in trying to learn more about each player, he selected and just looking at
his humble doings, it was a delight. Ryan is somewhat of a rare commodity and yes his side may win and
lose tournaments between now and then, but the eye is on that first ever gold at the Olympics.
All we can say is all the best Peni!
Another code, which made Fiji proud, was rugby league.
Who can forget the last month when the Vodafone Fiji Bati equaled their
2008 success and reached the semi-finals of the World Cup.
Not since sevens rugby, have we been so near to lifting a World Cup title.
Yes the big loss to Australia in the semi-final was heart wrenching, but sure
the Bati have take this sport to another level. This doesn’t stop here because it is the start of bigger and brighter things to come for the sport.
Apart from all these, we have had the Pacific Mini Games, football tournaments, netball competitions amongst others.
Kudos to all the sporting organizations.
Now let’s wait for 2014 to see what it brings on the field.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
