Excerpt: This article is part of the series:Politics and government ofVanuatu Vanuatu has been divided into six provinces since 1994. The names in English of all provinces are derived from the initial letters of their constituent islands: The provinces are in turn divided into municipalities (usually consisting of an individual island) headed by a council and a mayor elected from among the members of the council. From 1985 to 1994 it was divided into eleven island regions: During the Condominium era, specifically from 1968 to 1984 the group was divided into four adminis...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=606333 ...

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Vanuatu," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Vanuatu in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Vanuatu when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Vanuatu, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

It formed on February 24 to the north of Fiji , and tracking generally southwestward it reached hurricane-force winds near Vanuatu on February 28. The next day it generated peak wind velocities of 195 km/h (120 mph), though it quickly weakened as it accelerated southward. On March 4 Bola transitioned into an extratropical storm, passing to the north of the North Island of New Zealand on March 8. It weakened further and was absorbed by a stationary trough near the South Island on March 12.The cyclone first affected Fiji, where it produced gale force winds and strong waves. In Vanuatu, Bola dropped heavy rainfall, which destroyed two bridges and caused $5 million in damage (1988 USD, $9.2 million 2010 USD). Bola caused severe damage to the North Island of New Zealand, where heavy rainfall peaked at 917 mm (36.1 in) in Gisborne Region . Damage totaled over $82 million (1988 USD, $151 million 2010 USD). Three people were killed due to flooding, and hundreds were evacuated when a swollen river threatened a town. The name Bola was later retired , meaning it will not be used again within the same basin. Meteorological history Storm pathA tropical disturbance began organizing about 870 km (54... ... Read more

Excerpt: Severe Tropical Cyclone Xavier (RSMC Nadi Designation: 01F, JTWC Designation: 01P) was a strong pre-season cyclone, that formed on October 20 to the north of the Santa Cruz Islands. During the next day it rapidly developed and was designated as Tropical Depression 01F later that day, before being designated as Tropical Cyclone Xavier while over Santa Cruz early on October 22. Later on October 22, Xavier intensified into a category 3 severe tropical cyclone on the Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale, before passing over Tikopia early the next day. Xavier then reached its peak wind speeds of 175 km/h (110 mph 10-min), which made it a Category 4 cyclone early on October 24. Xavier stayed at its peak wind speeds until early the next day when it started to rapidly weaken, becoming a depression early on October 26. The remnants of Xavier persisted until October 28 before dissipating. There were no casualties reported as a result of the storm and little impact reported in the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Storm pathOn October 20, 2006, both the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center in Nadi, Fiji (RSMC Nadi) and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) reported that a tropical disturbance had formed to the north of the Santa Cruz Islands. The disturbance at this time contained a developing low level circulation center with convective banding over the eastern side of the disturbance. The centre of the disturbance was located within an active South Pacific Convergence Zone which had a favorable environment for the disturbance to develop with good outflow and low vertical wind shear. During the next day the disturbance gradually developed with it being designated as Tropical Depression 01F by RSMC Nadi at 2100 UTC, with a Tropical Cyclone F...
