Le haka, célèbre danse rituelle exécutée par l'équipe de rugby de Nouvelle-Zélande avant chaque match, est bien plus qu'une simple démonstration de force ou un rituel sportif. Il trouve ses racines dans la culture maorie, le peuple autochtone de Nouvelle-Zélande, et possède une signification historique et spirituelle profonde.Un héritage guerrier maoriÀ l'origine, le haka était une danse traditionnelle des Maoris, utilisée dans divers contextes : pour célébrer un événement, accueillir des visiteurs, montrer la fierté d'une tribu ou encore intimider l'ennemi avant une bataille. Il existe plusieurs types de haka, dont certains sont pacifiques et d'autres martiaux, destinés à effrayer les adversaires et à exalter le courage des guerriers avant le combat.Le haka le plus célèbre dans le rugby, le Ka Mate, a été composé au début du XIXᵉ siècle par Te Rauparaha, chef de la tribu Ngāti Toa. Il l'aurait créé après avoir échappé de justesse à ses ennemis, symbolisant ainsi la survie et le triomphe sur la mort. Ce haka est aujourd'hui le plus connu et est celui principalement exécuté par les All Blacks avant leurs matchs.L'introduction du haka dans le rugbyL'histoire du haka dans le rugby néo-zélandais remonte à 1888, lorsque la première équipe de rugby de Nouvelle-Zélande, composée en partie de joueurs maoris, effectua une tournée au Royaume-Uni et en Australie. Ils utilisaient alors le haka comme un moyen de représenter leur culture et d'impressionner leurs adversaires.En 1905, l'équipe nationale néo-zélandaise, connue sous le nom de "Originals", effectua une tournée historique en Europe et intégra officiellement le haka avant chaque match. Ce rituel devint rapidement une tradition incontournable et un symbole du rugby néo-zélandais.Un symbole identitaire et fédérateurAvec le temps, le haka a dépassé sa simple fonction sportive pour devenir un symbole d'unité et de fierté nationale en Nouvelle-Zélande. Il ne représente pas seulement les joueurs d'origine maorie, mais l'ensemble du pays et son attachement à ses racines culturelles.Depuis 2005, les All Blacks utilisent aussi un autre haka, le Kapa o Pango, spécialement conçu pour eux. Plus agressif et personnalisé, il reflète leur identité unique en tant qu'équipe et leur engagement à dominer le rugby mondial.ConclusionLe haka, dans le rugby néo-zélandais, est un héritage vivant de la culture maorie. Il incarne l'esprit de combativité, le respect des traditions et l'unité nationale, faisant des All Blacks une équipe à part dans l'histoire du sport. Hébergé par Acast.

Tout un Art ! est une série inédite à l'occasion de la Journée mondiale de la Baleine, le 19 février.Crainte par l'Occident qui l'a longtemps perçue comme un monstre, la baleine est vénérée dans d'autres cultures, chez les Maoris de Nouvelle-Zélande mais aussi chez les Inuits.Les Inuits vivent au Groenland, au nord du Canada et sur la côte nord-est de la Sibérie. Ils vénèrent la baleine; Dans leurs légendes, elle serait née des avant-bras de Sedna, la déesse de la mer. Chez les Inuits, on a plutôt intérêt à respecter Sedna ! A la moindre incartade, elle vous prive de toute nourriture en éloignant du rivage les créatures marines ! Et ensuite un seul moyen pour amadouer la déesse : le chaman doit descendre au fond de l'océan et … brosser les cheveux de Sedna dans lesquels se sont emmêlées des algues.Les Inuits sont un des rares peuples, avec les habitants des îles Féroé situées dans l'Océan Atlantique, au large de l'Europe du Nord, à encore chasser la baleine, au nom de leurs traditions culturelles. D'autres pays chassent encore la baleine pour les exploiter : le Japon, l'Islande, la Norvège. Mais la viande de baleine est de moins en moins au goût des consommateurs de tous les pays. Bientôt cette chasse s'arrêtera, faute d'être rentable au final.Les Inuits chassent la baleine pour se nourrir mais utilisent aussi ses os pour les sculpter et fabriquer des objets d'art. Saviez-vous d'ailleurs que le mot art n'existe pas en inuktitut, la langue des Inuits ? Et oui, quand on est un peuple semi-nomade, on ne s'embarrasse pas de poids mort décoratif.L'art inuit consiste donc d'abord à embellir les objets du quotidien : vêtements, outils… Ce n'est qu'au 17e siècle, quand les Inuits commencent à croiser des Occidentaux, que va se développer un art inuit à visée essentiellement commerciale.Aujourd'hui, l'art inuit tend à disparaître progressivement. Les jeunes Inuits ont d'autres morses à fouetter.______  La série "Tout un Art !" 12x10') raconte le Vivant dans la (pop) culture, l'Art et l'Histoire, au-delà des aspects biologiques et comportementaux. Et aussi de connecter deux mondes qui se nourrissent l'un l'autre.Il est temps que chacun.e se cultive, soigne et réenchante son lien avec nos colocataires non-humains et ressente le besoin de faire ce qu'il peut, ce qu'il doit.Après tout, chaque espèce n'est-elle pas aussi précieuse qu'une cathédrale Notre Dame, qu'une Joconde ? _______Sylvia Roustant est professeure, agrégée de lettres et créatrice du site Le secret derrière le tableau.Marc Mortelmans est créateur de podcasts, conférencier et auteur d'En finir avec les idées fausses sur le monde Vivant (Éditions de l'atelier 2024) et de Nomen, l'origine des noms des espèces (Ulmer 2024).contact@baleinesousgravillon.com.Hébergé par Ausha.

Tout un Art ! est une série inédite à l'occasion de la Journée mondiale de la Baleine, le 19 février.À l'instar des Maoris (épisode 8/12) et des Inuits (épisode 9/12), d'autres peuples ont des relations privilégiées avec les baleines.Au Vietnam, vous pouvez devenir le fils d'une baleine ! En effet, celui qui trouve une baleine échouée sur le rivage, surnommé “l'inventeur” de cette baleine, est considéré comme son fils et porte le deuil de l'animal lors de cérémonies destinées à honorer son esprit.Si les Vietnamiens vouent un culte  à la baleine, c'est qu'ils la considèrent comme un animal protecteur : elle s'appuie sur les bateaux dans la tempête pour les empêcher de chavirer. On est loin de la lutte acharnée entre l'homme et le cétacé comme dans Moby Dick  (cf épisode 6/12) !Les baleines sont aussi pour les Vietnamiens des animaux … psychopompes. En grec, psycho,  c'est “l'âme” et pompe, c'est “le guide”. La baleine, c'est donc le Charon de l'océan, un passeur qui guide les hommes jusqu'au monde des morts. L'eau, dans l'Antiquité avec le Styx, mais aussi dans l'imaginaire du Moyen-Âge, est souvent considérée comme la frontière entre le royaume des vivants et celui des morts.Il existe d'autres animaux psychopompes sur Terre, comme le vautour dans l'Himalaya … Certains peuples leur confient leurs morts sur des rochers plats.Ce lien privilégié entre l'homme et la créature marine, dans notre culture occidentale, existe plutôt avec le dauphin qu'avec la baleine. Certains dauphins “ambassadeurs” quittent ainsi leur groupe pour communiquer et jouer avec les hommes.______  La série "Tout un Art !" 12x10') raconte le Vivant dans la (pop) culture, l'Art et l'Histoire, au-delà des aspects biologiques et comportementaux. Et aussi de connecter deux mondes qui se nourrissent l'un l'autre. Oscar Wilde ne disait-il pas que "la nature imite l'art" ?Il est temps que chacun.e se cultive, soigne et réenchante son lien avec nos colocataires non-humains et ressente le besoin de faire ce qu'il peut, ce qu'il doit.Après tout, chaque espèce n'est-elle pas aussi précieuse qu'une cathédrale Notre Dame, qu'une Joconde ? _______Cette émission a été conçue et préparée par deux grands curieux.

This is episode 201. The sounds you're hearing are those of roadworks, because South Africa is upgrading. Quickly. The arrival of governor sir George Grey in 1854 heralded a new epoch. Previous governors had been Peninsular war Veterans, they'd fought against Napoleon. This one was the first who was the child of a veteran of the war against Napoleon, and a person who was schooled in liberal humanism. He was also a Victorian, steeped in the consciousness of evolution, principled and simultaneously, flaunting truth. A fibber who was in a delirium of post-renaissance spirituality, combining dialect and salvation. You heard about George Grey's time in New Zealand last episode, and here he was, the new Cape Governor. So without further ado, let's dive into episode 201. He was free from prejudice against black and coloured people, and all indigenes as such, firmly believing from his own insight into the Polynesians cultures, the Maori, that there was nothing to distinguish them in aptitude and intelligence from anyone else in mankind. The same applied to Aborigines and black South Africans he believed. At the same time, Grey wanted indigenous people to wean themselves from what he called barbarism and heathenism. By suppressing tribal laws and customs, and incorporating indigenes into the economic system through labour and industry. During his short stint in Australia, he had set the Aborigines to work building roads, and those who worked hardest, earned the most. At the same time, he ruthlessly suppressed any sort of push back from the Aborigines, then the Maoris, and now he brought this brand of colonialism to South Africa. Dangling the carrot of labour, then applying the stick of punishment. The Cape colony was his laboratory in the Victorian age of discovery. An intellectual exercise. There was quite a bit in it for him of course. An ideologue and highly learned, he had written the New Zealand articles of Representative Government, an act that led to him being knighted. Sir George. Utopia beckons those who are imbued with internal fire — it's only now and then that history provides a crack into which people with this sort of vision can plunge. A man or woman appears at a particular point in time, restructuring entire territories and societies by dint of their character, and their timing, their epoch. During this time, a powerful figure with a vision for change could restructure an entire land before his minders back in England could do anything about it. Correspondence with the antipodes, New Zealand and Australia, took nearly a year for an exchange of letters to take place. Six months one way, six months return. In the meantime, an industrious social engineer could get very busy indeed. South Africa was closer to the centres of power, the new steam driven ships could do the return journey in four months, but that was more than a financial quarter in modern jargon. A person with initiative could launch quite a few initiatives before the folks back in London put a stop to their initiating. The biggest problem at this moment for Grey was not the amaXhosa or AmaZulu or Basotho, nor the Khoe, or the Boers. IT was the British colonial office. They were in the throes of recession not expansion. Retrenchment and withdrawal. Grey pondered the solution. Five thousand white European immigrants should be brought in he wrote, the occupy British Kaffraria. There was a certain problem, and that was the amaNqika Xhosa lived there at a pretty squashed density of 83 people per square mile. To give you an idea of how squashed this was, the Cape colony population density of 1854 was 1.15 per square mile at the same time. The second conundrum was accessing cash to construct all these new schools and public buildings. Grey sent a letter to the Colonial office outlining his needs — this new plan would require 45 000 pounds a year.

This is episode 200 - we have reached the double century milestone on our winding journey through the past. When I began the series in 2021 after some years of planning, I had no idea what would happen. Diving into the shark tank that is history podcasting took a great deal of forethought. One person's history is another persons' propaganda after all, social engineers rewrite the past to suit their own agenda's and this series has been based on our people's stories first. Endeavouring to let the folks of the south talk for themselves, which of course, can threaten folks' world view about their origins, or their personal narrative. It is rife with risk. So it's with some relief to report that the response has been overwhelmingly positive. This series is now the third most shared podcast in South Africa — a stunning revelation given that I am doing this solo. There is no marketing team, no financier, no patron, just me and you the listener. Thanks to Francois at iono.fm for the growth in advertising, nothing for mahala I guess. Speaking of filthy lucre, I have a PayPal account for donations which can be found on desmondlatham.blog. The funds go towards the series audio hosting fees. The third video episode is about to land on YouTube, so things are happening. With that craven bit of begging, let us continue for we are going to spend this episode meeting Cape Governor, Sir George Grey. He is probably the most influential Englishman in both New Zealand and South Africa's history, playing a key role in the annexation of Maori land, he spent time as a Governor of Australia. Very much an administrator of his time, he believed in educating the masses, and put his money where his mouth was, founding Grey's College in Bloemfontein in 1855, then Grey's High School in Gbeberha a year later. In between, all manner of shenanigans were recorded. But wait. As we hear about Sir George, I'll introduce his amaxhosa alter ego, Manhlakaza, aka Wilhelm Goliath, who was the first amaXhosa Anglican in South Africa. Manhlakaza's relationship with the Archdeacon of Grahamstown, Nathanial James Merriman, was going to change the whole course of South Africa's history. Don't take my word for it, this is the view of many who know much more than me about these things, particularly the fantastic historian Jeff Peires. Here were two people, opposites. Grey and Goliath. Their tale is tantamount to the gears of history turning like a great, soot-streaked clockwork, steam-punk cogs groaning under the weight of human ambition and magical ether, while the past, a fog of coal-smoke and brass, hisses and sputters, propelling the unwieldy engine unsteadily into the unknown. The allegorical story this episode contains metaphors and illustrations of an era. Grey believed white and black people were essentially the same, it was only culture and backward rituals that separated the races. Grey wrote regularly about how aborigines and later amaXhosa “…are as apt and intelligent as any other race of men I am acquainted with…” “They are subject to the same affections, appetites and passions as other men…” Simply put, he thought that the Aborigines, the Maoris, the First People's of Canada, the Khoekhoe, the Nguni and Tswana speaking south Africans, all wanted to become Englishmen but couldn't because they were trapped by the barbarous customs and rituals enforced by their older generation. At the same time, the colonial in him believed that no Aborigine, or Maori or African culture, was worth the grand heights of English culture. Still, that didn't stop him personally conducting a major contribution study of the Maori language and folklore. That study is regarded one of the most important research into early Maori ways — a contradiction considering that he didn't hold the Maori ways in high regard. What a strange character.

De nombreuses espèces animales se sont éteintes en raison des activités humaines au fil des siècles, souvent à cause de la chasse excessive, de la destruction des habitats et de l'introduction d'espèces invasives. Voici cinq exemples marquants d'animaux qui ont disparu en grande partie à cause des humains : 1. Le Dodo (Raphus cucullatus)Le dodo était un grand oiseau incapable de voler qui vivait exclusivement sur l'île Maurice, dans l'océan Indien. Cet oiseau, découvert par les marins européens au 17ème siècle, a été rapidement exterminé, principalement à cause de la chasse intensive et de la destruction de son habitat. Les colons ont introduit des animaux comme les cochons, les chiens et les rats, qui ont détruit les œufs et les jeunes dodos, contribuant ainsi à l'extinction de l'espèce en moins d'un siècle après sa découverte. 2. Le Tigre de Tasmanie (Thylacinus cynocephalus)Également connu sous le nom de thylacine, ce marsupial carnivore ressemblant à un loup vivait en Australie, en Tasmanie et en Nouvelle-Guinée. Il a été chassé jusqu'à l'extinction par les colons européens au 19ème et début du 20ème siècle, qui le considéraient comme une menace pour leur bétail. La destruction des forêts pour l'agriculture et la concurrence avec les chiens domestiques ont également contribué à sa disparition. Le dernier tigre de Tasmanie connu est mort en captivité en 1936. 3. Le Grand Pingouin (Pinguinus impennis)Cet oiseau marin incapable de voler, autrefois abondant dans l'Atlantique Nord, a été exterminé par la chasse excessive. Les Européens tuaient le grand pingouin pour sa viande, ses plumes et ses œufs. L'animal était également prisé pour sa graisse, utilisée dans les lampes à huile. La surexploitation de l'espèce a été si rapide que le dernier couple de grands pingouins a été tué en 1844 sur l'île Eldey, près de l'Islande. 4. La Vache de mer de Steller (Hydrodamalis gigas)Découverte en 1741 par l'explorateur Georg Wilhelm Steller, cette gigantesque créature marine habitait les eaux peu profondes autour des îles Commandeur, dans le Pacifique Nord. L'espèce a été chassée pour sa viande et sa graisse. En moins de 30 ans après sa découverte, la vache de mer de Steller a disparu, victime de la chasse intensive menée par les chasseurs de fourrures et les marins. 5. Le Moa (Dinornithiformes)Les moas étaient de grands oiseaux incapables de voler, endémiques de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Certaines espèces mesuraient plus de trois mètres de haut. Ils ont été exterminés par les Maoris, qui sont arrivés en Nouvelle-Zélande autour du 13ème siècle. Les Moas étaient chassés pour leur viande, et la destruction de leurs habitats forestiers a accéléré leur extinction, qui s'est produite quelques centaines d'années après l'arrivée des humains. Ces exemples soulignent l'impact dévastateur que les activités humaines peuvent avoir sur la faune. La chasse, la déforestation, et l'introduction d'espèces invasives ont contribué à la disparition de ces animaux, laissant des écosystèmes appauvris et un héritage de perte irréversible.

Russia has again targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure; we hear from the governor of one of the regions that has been hit. Also in the programme: Israeli airstrikes on Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza kill at least forty-six people in a multi-storey building; why Maoris and their supporters are marching to protest against a proposed change to New Zealand's founding treaty; and the drama that portrays former German Chancellor Angela Merkel as an amateur sleuth.(IMAGE: Firefighters work at the site of a critical infrastructure facility hit by a Russian missile strike, in Vinnytsia region, Ukraine November 17, 2024 / CREDIT: Press service of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in Vinnytsia region/Handout via REUTERS)

US media say President Biden has made a major policy change, by letting Ukraine use long-range missiles to hit targets deep inside Russia. Ukraine's leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, has long called for the change. There's been no confirmation from the White House.Also in the programme: An Israeli airstrike in central Beirut is reported to have killed Hezbollah's media chief; Russian opposition protestors take to the streets in Berlin; and a proposal in the new Zealand parliament, which would impact the rights of Maoris there.(Photo: White Sands Missile Range Public Affairs)

Dans ce nouvel épisode, j'ai la joie d'inviter à nouveau Maoris Derousseaux que vous connaissez peut-être du compte @maobrut sur Instagram. Aujourd'hui, nous abordons une thématique un peu différente mais extrêmement intéressante lorsque l'on souhaite mieux comprendre son corps et les modes de fonctionnement qui nous sont propres. Au fil de notre échange, Maoris nous explique comment il a découvert le modèle ActionTypes, les bénéfices qu'il retire de son utilisation dans de multiples domaines de sa vie, comme le sport, la gestion des émotions ou encore les relations amoureuses.Je lui ai également demandé si ce modèle pouvait s'appliquer au yoga — discipline qui fait partie de mon quotidien —, ainsi que les conseils qu'il donnerait à une personne qui souhaiterait s'initier dans la pratique d'ActionTypes. Restez bien jusqu'à la fin de l'épisode car je lui pose également les questions que vous m'avez laissées sous ma story Instagram lorsque je partageais la préparation de cette interview !

Dans cet épisode de Beau Voyage, je vous emmène dans un voyage pas comme les autres, un grand voyage intérieur à la découverte de l'Ayahuasca au Pérou. Mais avant de plonger dans cette cérémonie chamanique et ses mystères, rappelons que cette décoction traditionnelle est totalement interdite en France, car considérée comme une drogue, et que nous n'en faisons en aucun cas la promotion. Depuis le tourisme chamanique en Amazonie jusqu'aux cérémonies secrètes aux Etats-Unis ou en Europe, cette infusion épaisse et brune au goût très amer se répand de plus en plus auprès de ceux qui rêvent d'un grand voyage intérieur.Alors, nous avions envie d'en savoir plus.Nous avons échangé avec des dizaines de personnes ayant tenté cette expérience et nous avons choisi une invitée bien particulière : une femme active et sensée ayant une vraie conscience du possible danger de ses pratiques et de ses dérives.Claire a fait le tour du monde, du boat stop aux Fidjis et des safaris en Afrique. Après des retraites de méditation en Birmanie et au Vietnam et des séjours dans la foret avec les Maoris en Nouvelle Zélande, elle s'installe à Anglet pour mixer surf et boulot. Puis, un jour la plante l'a appelée, alors elle a pris un avion et elle s'est envolée pour l'Amazonie pour une cérémonie très spéciale et 11 jours sans manger dans la jungle seule dans une cabane. Face à elle-même.**************************************Si cet épisode vous a plu, n'hésitez pas à nous laisser 5 étoiles ou un commentaire sur Apple Podcasts ou Spotify.

A la Une de la presse, ce mardi 5 décembre, l'extension de l'offensive de l'armée israélienne au sud de la bande de Gaza, malgré la présence de centaines de milliers de civils. Les manifestations en Nouvelle-Zélande, où des milliers de personnes protestent contre la nouvelle politique du gouvernement, mettant en cause, selon elles, les acquis des Maoris. Des études sur l'impact majeur des énergies fossiles sur la santé et l'environnement. Et un vandale nommé Billy (le chien).

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 23rd of July, 2023, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in Genesis 4:9:"Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?" Then we go straight to 1 Thessalonians 4 and I am reading verse 9:"But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;…" Am I my brother's keeper? Yes, I am indeed, and we need to love one another. Paul told the Thessalonians, "I don't even have to tell you that. You know that already because God has told you." Money cannot buy friendship. In these perilous times, you and I live; we need to love one another. We need each other, not only the men but ladies - you also need friends. You need sisters in Christ that you can share with. I recently met with over a hundred men here at Shalom just for two days. These men have asked me to mentor them; many others couldn't make it - they live overseas, but it has become one of the highlights of my Christian walk with Jesus. I think I am the one who is more blessed than any of them. It's not a conference; we don't need more conferences, do we? It's not a heavy theological instruction time - no, it can't be because I can't even spell that word! No, not at all - it is a time spent loving one another, crying, laughing, and sharing each other's burdens. Remember, a burden shared is a burden halved. A time of praying together, worshipping Jesus, sitting around the table and talking to each other - oh, my dear friend, it is like a breath of fresh air. I must tell you one quick story in closing. I explained to the men how the Maoris in New Zealand kiss each other. I have preached there, and I love the Maori people. They are the toughest men on a rugby field and the most gentle men off the field. One of my spiritual sons was sitting very close to the platform I said to him (he is an Indian gentleman), I said, "Anesh, I want to show you how the Maoris kiss each other, and I got hold of him, and he thought I was going to kiss him on the lips. He said to me, "No, no, no, no! You can't do that!" I grabbed him by his whiskers, rubbed his nose, and the guys just packed up laughing. It's that kind of love that we need in this world today, where we can trust one another, cry on one another's shoulders and love each other with the love of Christ.Go out today, find a friend, love him, love her - spend time in the presence of Jesus.Have a wonderful day,Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Is this ethical and will it be copied in elsewhere?

Dans cet épisode, je reçois Maoris du compte @maobrut, naturopathe et fervent défenseur de l'alimentation ancestrale. C'est parce que je suis également convaincue des bienfaits de l'alimentation ancestrale, que j'applique de mon mieux dans mon quotidien, que j'ai tenu à inviter Mao. L'alimentation ancestrale, ce n'est rien d'autre que revenir aux bases de la nutrition, en réalisant que nous avons toutes les connaissances depuis la nuit des temps pour atteindre la pleine santé.Aujourd'hui, la surinformation et la désinformation nous perdent entre mille et uns concepts pour nous faire croire à l'ultime solution miracle pour perdre du poids, pour effacer nos douleurs chroniques, pour avoir plus d'énergie et de vitalité, pour soulager l'acné ou encore les problèmes de digestion dont nous sommes nombreux à souffrir.Mais nos ancêtres ne souffraient pas des mêmes problèmes de santé que nous ! En revenant à ce que faisaient nos ancêtres, nous reprenons notre responsabilité et notre capacité à agir favorablement sur notre santé. Bonne écoute !--------------------Ressources mentionnées :- Weston Price- Kate Deering- Ray Peat- Une histoire vraie, David Lynch Si vous souhaitez soutenir le podcast, n'hésitez pas à me laisser un avis 5 étoiles et un commentaire sur Apple Podcasts ! ✨--------------------

In 1981, the South African rugby tour of New Zealand was disrupted by Māori anti-racism campaigners who invaded pitches. They wanted to highlight the injustice of apartheid in South Africa and the discrimination Maoris were suffering in New Zealand. Ripeka Evans organised and took part in the protests. She tells Alex Collins about the direct action she took to sabotage high-profile matches. (Photo: Protesters form a circle in the middle of the pitch at Rugby Park, Hamilton Credit: John Selkirk)

Back by popular demand we got all the lads back from the Super Rugby Preview shows to look into the International Test week in particular the All Blacks v Ireland test. Before we get into that one though, we look back to the fixture on Wednesday night between the NZ Maoris v Ireland XV which was a quality game. No surprises to Tom obviously that the Maoris got up for that one. We give our thoughts on the All Black lineup and who we are expecting to see big games from in the big one. We also go through all the international games this weekend and try to pick you a winner. There is plenty good rugby to enjoy this weekend!

Avec Parlons B, j'aime vous faire voyager. Il y a eu l'Australie, il y a eu les Etats-Unis et maintenant voici le tour de l'Angleterre. Là-bas, il existe de nombreuses marques de beauté mais il en est une que j'adore particulièrement : Pai Skincare. Naturelle, certifiée et particulièrement engagée elle vise le bien, la justesse. Car c'est ce que veut dire Pai en Maoris, un clin d'oeil aux origines de la fondatrice. Cette maison propose des produits aux formules d'une très grande qualité et compatibles avec les peaux les plus sensibles. En effet, Sarah Brown la fondatrice est elle même atteinte d'une maladie de peau sévère qu'elle est parvenue à calmer par ses propres moyens, ses propres recherches. Ensemble nous avons parlé en anglais des difficultés de soin face aux problèmes de peau, des différences entre la France et l'Angleterre dans l'approche de la beauté et du bien-être en général. Je remercie donc mon amie australienne Tess qui a réalisé le doublage voix en Français de Sarah pour plus d'authenticité. Bonne écoute !   Cet épisode a été réalisé en partenariat avec Paï.

Episode Highlights [03:09] Professor Noakes' Career Professor Noakes went to medical school before shifting to research and science.  He started writing the Lore of Running for the public, which is currently ongoing with its fifth revision.  Originally a supporter of the high-carbohydrate diet, he realised he was giving the wrong dietary advice after struggling with Type II Diabetes. He lost funding from his university due to this realisation but won the case in court using well-proven science. With his research, he now teaches the proper management of diabetes. [07:50] Against the Food Industry Professor Noakes lost funding from a company in the food industry after he stopped promoting their grain-based diet.  He was sued for his book, Waterlogged, because it went against the sports drink industry.  [12:30] The Pressure from the Academe  Academic mobbing is the pressure to quit your academic work. Professionals such as deans and professors went against Prof Noakes.  Professor Noakes chose research and science because of the toxic environment in the field of medicine. The academic and medical profession is brutal, with long work hours and debt. [15:39] Diet Guidelines Professor Noakes recommends eating based on what humans have evolved to eat. Historically, humans have hunted big animals and turned to agriculture for food. While reasonably healthy, vegetarian diets can be expensive and require highly refined food. He advises eating non-processed and animal-based food. [19:17] The Human's Digestive Evolution The human diet used to be mainly animal produce. Carbohydrates were only eaten during shortages. It isn't easy to adapt from an animal-based, high-fat diet to a high-grain diet in a short period.  Gorillas have certain digestive mechanisms that can break down carbohydrates into fat. Humanity's evolution as hunters resulted in a shorter bowel that is ideal for eating animal produce. [23:47] On Long-Distance Running Running is not a sustainable activity to bring into older age. Orthopedic problems can develop, especially after decades. It is not an ideal long-term activity. [26:22] Weight Control Removing carbohydrates helped Professor Noakes control his weight. He also found amazing benefits from his biweekly CrossFit sessions complemented with running. Now, he has more muscle mass and better flexibility than before.  [30:52] Professor Noakes' Writing Professor Noakes is rewriting the Lore of Running to debunk myths and misconceptions. He is also working on an article about eating before or after exercise. He recently discovered the reason why carbohydrates are necessary for exercise. Regardless of your diet, avoiding hypoglycemia during exercise is the main goal. [37:05] Preventing Cancer Through Diet The low-carb, high-fat diet is ideal for preventing cancer. Insulin resistance, which can develop from a long-term high-carb diet, underlies most cancers. [40:30] Busting Myths  The central government theory is true. Reduction of exercise performance to reduce lactate and glycogen is a myth. Measuring oxygen consumption and glycogen muscle storage is unimportant. His friend once subscribed to a high-carb diet before switching to low carbs. His running greatly improved. Dave Scott, a well-known athlete, has also seen improvements after changing his diet. [45:39] What to Drink When Running Homeostatic regulation allows you to determine if you need to drink more to keep normal sodium levels. Drinking too much water can cause hyponatremia, which is when your sodium levels drop, causing brain swelling and reduced brain blood flow. A genetic defect causing the oversecretion of hormones can cause you to drink too much. It is best for marathon runners to drink only when they feel thirsty. Dehydration is not a medical condition. Your body can maintain normal levels as long as you drink when needed. 7 Powerful Quotes [17:02] ‘The answer is we got to go back to eating what the Maoris were eating, or the Australian Aborigines. [T]hey were eating fish and other foods from the land.' — Professor Tim Noakes  [21:34] ‘We're designed to eat animal produce, which is digested in the small bowel. That's how we evolved, and that allowed us to get our hips to narrow. That allowed us to start running because our knees came closer together; we could run more effectively. And then we became bigger hunters. And that then helped us evolve further.' — Professor Tim Noakes [26:07] ‘I do a lot of strength work and yoga and things like that to balance things out. I feel a ton healthier — day and night healthy. I can manage my weight much better. I was fatter when I was running the distances.' — Lisa Tamati [28:26] ‘I do an hour or two twice a week, and it's 40 minutes really odd but really, really odd. Then I came to complement that with some running, but that's what I need. I've bulked up. I've put on five kilograms of muscle at the age of 72. I'm lifting weights that I could never even consider when I was younger.' — Professor Tim Noakes [29:40] ‘I was having spasms 10 times a day. Then I started doing CrossFit and I worked my way up. Now it's been years without a single spasm. I do not have back pain and I have a very, very strong core. And I work on the core and I maintain it because the back injury is still there but I don't have any issues.' — Lisa Tamati [44:41] ‘He wrote to me about four years ago and says to me, “I've just read your book, and I changed my diet.” And he said, “I wish I'd been eating this diet all my life.”'— Professor Tim Noakes [49:28] ‘You don't need to be told when to drink. Your body will tell you when to drink. So you just drink to thirst, and that's absolutely what is the case. You drink to thirst, and you'll be fine.' — Professor Tim Noakes About Professor Noakes Professor Tim Noakes is an author and researcher focusing on sports and exercise science. Alongside Morné du Plessis, he helped found the Sports Science Institute of South Africa. There, they expanded the limits of research for sports science and encouraged interest in the field.  Professor Noakes' book, Lore of Running, is often considered the bible of running. His other book, Waterlogged, talks about his research on exercise-associated hyponatremia. Professor Noakes has published over 750 scientific books and articles and has won multiple awards for his contributions to sports science.  Learn more about Professor Tim Noakes by visiting The Noakes Foundation.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - “Most of what's left is up in the mountains and the coast range or the Rockies and so not the productive sites anymore. Most of what was easy to get is gone,” said Bruce Ellingsen, one of the founders of the Cortes Community Forest Co-operative, in reference to British Columbia's old growth trees. In the first of two articles about current forestry practices, Ellingsen looks to nature for models of a more sustainable consumption rate. Landsat satellite data published by the University of Maryland (and reproduced at the top of this page), show that there has been alarming loss of the forests on Vancouver Island and in the interior of British Columbia during the past 20 years. Less easily accessible areas in the north of the province, or in the coastal and rocky mountains, are relatively untouched. In a previous interview Bruce Ellingsen explained that the discrepancy between the government and satellite descriptions of the province's forest coverage may be because trees less than 5 metres high do not show up in Landsat images. So much of the light coloured areas that appear as tree loss in the university's map may be covered by what are in effect tree toddlers. These trees will be harvested once they are between 50 to 80 years old. To use a comparison with humans, then they will effectively be pre-teens, with a far greater proportion of sapwood than is present in mature trees. “We're the ones that are managing it and we're the ones that are going to have the impact. If we want to do it in a sustainable way, then we've got to look for indicators that will give us a guidance as to whether we are going to be able to achieve that goal of having that ecosystem that grows trees for us be able to sustain,” said Bruce Ellingsen. Ellingsen says he came up with the idea of studying predation rates from an old report about the dynamic between Peregrine Falcons and Ancient Murrelets on the Nature of Things. After 17 years of studying, researchers concluded that the Peregrines were probably taking around 15 to 20% of the mean annual seabird population increase. “That got me thinking that possibly there's indicators in natural system dynamics in the world that we could look at,” explained Ellingsen. He discovered a similar predation rate between polar bears and ringed seals, after a visit to Churchill, Manitoba, in 2003. That led him to to the work of Dr Ian Sterling, who has been studying polar bears since the early 1970s. Sterling and his colleagues believe that every year polar bears were consuming between 13% and 22% of the seal population A similar statistic was reported in a New York times about Central America's Leaf Cutter Ants. Scientists found that the ants were only taking 13 to 20% of the shrubs, trees and other vegetation in their area and that has probably been going on for millions of years. The only human example he found comes from the South Island of New Zealand and the Rocky islands offshore, where the Maoris have been harvesting about 18% of the seabird eggs every year. “This has been going on for about 700 years and obviously you can start to say that's a reasonably sustainable dynamic for a population that is reproducing annually,” said Ellingsen. He added that forestry ecologists like Herb Hammond, of the Silva Forest Foundation, and Jerry Franklin, from the University of Washington, seem to agree that maybe 25% of what grows in a forest is extra and the forest needs everything beyond that to keep itself alive and healthy.

Here's some recycled material about the moon! You're welcome! The moon has had a massive impact on every culture, so before we get into the science, let's do a whistle-stop tour of what we used to believe about the moon on a spiritual  level. The Aztecs called the moon Mictecacuiatl and believed it travelled through the night sky hunting for victims to consume… As did the Maoris in New Zealand, calling it the ‘man-eater'. The Tartars of Central Asia called it the Queen of Life and Death… All very ‘deathy', isn't it? Early Hindus believed the souls of the dead returned to the moon to await rebirth, and some European stories, not just rather turgid Christmas TV adverts for department stores, tell of a man in the moon - banished there, having been sentenced to death by god for gathering sticks on the Sabbath, because, you know the old saying - Sabbath and Sticks / Do not mix, ok I made that up. Most excitingly, though, everyone's loony - yes - about rabbits. I had no idea. In Chinese mythology, the goddess Chang'e is stranded on the moon after overdoing the old immortality potion, and only has moon rabbits for company. I mean, how high could they jump? Aztec cultures revered the moon rabbit, some Hindus believe the moon is inhabited by a hare, and in Japanese and Korean folklore the Moon Rabbit is believed to be pounding the ingredients for a rice cake, which is presumably, er, rice. Moon rice. Anyway. SCIENCE: The moon's cycles were well understood by… the Chaldea, a small Semitic nation living in a marsh in south-east Mesopotamia, and the Chinese astronomer Shi Shen had also worked out solar and lunar eclipses, roundabout the same time as Anaxagoras in Greece worked out that the sun and moon were giant spherical rocks, and that one reflected the light from the other. Archimedes designed an accurate planetarium, presumably with an adjoining Waxworks and grossly over-inflated ticket price. Ptolemy, around 120AD said that the moon was about 60 earth-radii away and that the moon's diameter was 0.292 of that of earth, honestly, what a nincompoop! Look at the reality! 59, and 0.273! Tchoh! Just to remind you - there weren't any telescopes yet. And, to be honest, almost nothing happened for the next, nearly 20,000 lunar cycles… Until Galileo drew one of the first drawings of the moon from what he'd seen through a telescope. But, if you want to show off at a dinner party, he wasn't the first. An Englishman called Thomas Harriot, who had bought a ‘Dutch Trunke' (ie a telescope, invented the year before in 1608) drew a map of the moon several months earlier, on July 26th 1609. Not only that, he helped Sir Walter Raleigh figure out how to stack cannonballs on ships' decks efficiently which made him think about atomism, and he's credited with bringing potatoes to Britain.  But Galileo worked out that the contours were caused by mountains and craters, from his experience as an artist using chiaroscuro, a theory which went against thousands of years of thought that the moon was perfectly smooth. 1837 was a landmark year. Wilhelm Beer and Johann Heinrich Mådler published books which finally put to rest any fancy ideas people had espoused about vegetation existing on the moon, along with Selenites (moon-people, after the Greek goddess of the moon, Selene [pron: Seleeni]) And other myths have been debunked - apparently, no matter what Aristotle, Pliny the Elder, and the emergency services say, we don't all go a bit loony when there's a full moon (although, well, I can only speak for myself). The first metaphorical rock we managed to chuck at it was Luna 2, a Russian spacecraft on 14th September 1959. It would be ten years and several missions later before Neil Armstrong walked on it and infamously said ‘Wow! I'm walking on the freaking moon, here!' on July 21st, 1969, a mission that used less computational power than you get in one of those birthday cards that plays a tune. In 1967, an Outer Space Treaty had been ratified, ruling that everything in outer space, including the moon, could not be owned by any nation, and not used for anything other than peaceful means. Which is a relief as the American military were eyeing it up for a military base as early as the fifties. Whether we fight or not, on a full moon or not, Ted Nield in his book Supercontinent writes movingly that many, many millions of years from now, when every trace of us, even the radioactive signatures from our nuclear power and bombs has decayed to nothing, when the continents have shifted until our planet is no longer recognisable, our footprints on the moon could be the only thing left to prove we ever existed.

Ich darf dich zum 2. Interview mit Stefan Scholz von der "Feuertrommel" begrüßen und freue mich gemeinsam mit dir in die Welt der Elemente einzutauchen. Stefan wird uns von seinen Erfahrungen bei den Maoris in Neuseeland erzählen und eine ganz besondere Feuerzeremonie "Agnihodra" genannt, mit uns teilen. Ich wünsche dir viel Freude und wertvolle Erkenntnisse bei dieser Episode! Deine Julia

Claudia Edelmann ist DIE deutschsprachige Expertin für Neuseeland und die Maoris, das indigene Volk auf dieser so besonderen Insel. Nur wenige Menschen durften so tief in diese alte Kultur eintauchen wie Claudia. Mehr als 7 Monate lebte sie mit den Ur-Einwohnern in Neuseeland und studierte ihre Kultur, Riten und ihr naturverbundene Lebensweise. Für sie im Nachhinein die schönste Zeit ihres Lebens und der Moment, in dem sich ihr Leben für immer verändert hat.

The people who would become Polynesians and Micronesians probably began their migrations some 3500 years ago· originating somewhere in East Asia. Developing amazing sailing skills, they made their way across the Pacific, passing through the islands of the Melanesians and, in the case of the Polynesians, gradually settling in Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Tahiti, New Zealand (Maori), and, finally, Easter island and Hawaii, completing the process in about 1000 AD. Many Polynesians believe that in the beginning there was Rangi and Papa (Heaven and Earth) coupled in a tight embrace in the primeval darkness. It is a tale that is very similar to that of the Maori of New Zealand - bringing us to the first tale of the episode, the creation myth of the Maori. The Maori are a Polynesian people who have inhabited New Zealand since long before the arrival of Europeans. The Maori religious and mythological system concerns itself with profound spiritual matters and the nature of Being itself. The Maori cosmogony usually begins with the union of Rangi (Heaven) and Papa (Earth). In many parts of New Zealand the creation myth does not say much, if anything, about the supreme being, Io (Iho). There are several versions of this myth. Our tale begins with Io, the primordial deity who created the universe. The next two stories is of the Samoans. Samoa, in the South Pacific, was settled as early as 1000 B.C.E. by Polynesian peoples. By 200B.C.E., Samoans were the center of a trading relationship and cultural exchange with the islands of Tonga and Fiji. As widely scattered as their islands are, there are many similarities between the mythologies of the various Polynesian groups. The final story is of the inhabitants of the islands of Hawaii. The indigenous people of Hawaii were a part of the large Polynesian people who, beginning in about 1200 B.C., gradually populated over a thousand islands in the south and central Pacific ocean. Their civilization comprised of the so-called Polynesian triangle. The people who inhabited these many islands eventually formed stories, mythologies, and cultures of their own, but were connected by a common ancestral thread. This becomes apparent in the creation myths of the episode. Now the original inhabitants of Hawaii came to the island between 300 and 700 A.D. Their culture, as was the case with many Polynesian Islands, maintained its own religion and way of life, before it was dominated by Christian and European and American ways in the 19th Century A.D. The Hawaiian creation myth is the part of a 2,000-line poem called the Kumulipo. It delineates a fascinating story of the creation of the world from a time when darkness and chaos reigned supreme. The tale celebrates nature, and the lush fertility of the islands by recognizing the many animals and fish that inhabit the surroundings. In fact, much like the Maoris of New Zealand, the creation story was once chanted at the birth of the children. It signified a new beginning and the relationship between the child and the flora and fauna of the first creation. The myth itself celebrates the islands and everything that grows on them, and the relationship between the people and their environment. The stories have been inspired by David A Leeming's amazing book, "Creation Myths of the World: An Encyclopedia." I hope you enjoy the stories. If you do, please leave a rating and feedback.

*) Azerbaijan retakes 13 more villages under Armenian occupation Azerbaijan says it has freed 13 more villages in the Jabrayil region from Armenian occupation. Meanwhile, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has condemned attacks from both Azerbaijan and Armenia on populated areas. Guterres wants both sides to abide by a new humanitarian truce and resume negotiations without delay. *) Rallies held across France in tribute to beheaded teacher Thousands of people gathered in cities across France to pay their respects to a history teacher, who was stabbed and decapitated on Friday. Police say the teacher had received threats after showing his secularism class cartoons of Prophet Muhammed. The attacker, an 18-year-old Chechen refugee, was shot and killed by police. Eleven others have also been arrested. *) TRNC PM wins presidential election Ersin Tatar has won the presidential run-off in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Tatar got 52 percent of votes, defeating his rival Mustafa Akinci. The main issue during the election campaign has been the long-stalled reunification talks with the Greek Cypriots. While Tatar favours a two-state solution, Akinci insists on reunification. *) Chile anniversary rallies turn violent Tens of thousands of people gathered in Chile's capital Santiago to mark the first anniversary of mass protests. Demonstrators banged on pots, calling for a "yes" vote in next week's referendum over whether to scrap the country's dictatorship-era constitution. But Sunday's peaceful rallies devolved by nightfall into riots and looting, with police firing tear gas and using water cannons to disperse the crowds. And finally... *) New Zealand's next parliament to be its most diverse ever New Zealand’s next parliament is set to be the most inclusive ever. It includes female candidates, indigenous Maoris, and MPs of African and Sri Lankan descent. Forty-year-old PM Jacinda Ardern is feted globally as a progressive leader, who is a champion for women’s rights, equality and inclusivity.

Kia Ora, meus amigos! Episódio especial de 2 anos de podcast Papo Sugoi!!!!

Niki says that most New Zealanders across a whole range of political opinions think that this is a significant problem and that we actually do not have enough clean drinking water in this country. This statement is correct - in clean green NZ (hold your nose) she says there is an actual lack of good quality drinking water - and that local councils are having difficulty in providing fresh water for their communities. Plus, there is the added issue around plastic waste and these plants produce billions of plastic bottles over the lifetime of their operations. She says it is a huge issue for everyone across the country. That there is a range of issues: Councils across NZ don't have a lot of money to remedy this situation. A lot of Council water bores are from shallow groundwater. To get higher quality water you have to drill deeper and that is an extra cost. Nitrates, detrimental to health, that have dissolved in the water - cannot be filtered out. Some Councils take water closer to the surface and treat it and the condition of the surface water determines the treatment it requires. This is a growing issue especially in Canterbury into Christchurch - but the big issue is nitrates in shallow groundwater - and that these cannot be treated. This is an increasing looming issue right across New Zealand. Putting chlorine in the water supply to deal with viral bacteria etc is one thing but dealing with nitrates is a far more complex challenge. Being due to intensive farming over decades. That we will have nitrates passing down through the soil and they will continue like this for decades - so it is a problem that we cannot get rid of quickly. Water Going Off Shore. Niki says her concern is that water bottlers are coming into NZ and taking away our very best water, our cleanest water, our deepest water. Thus local communities are having to fork out a lot of money to 'treat' their water  and potentially not be able to get healthy, clean, nitrate free water. Especially into the future and she says we have to think of the future because these bottling companies are being granted 'consents' for 30 years (because they want continuity of supply) as they are putting in massive infrastructure and they need that security - but it appears that no one is looking ahead 30 years - to the state of the groundwater, community supply or basically anything at the moment and essentially there are no controls and no thinking of future generations ... Tim asked - who are making these decisions in NZ? Who is allowing these water agreements to happen - especially when the community is kept in the dark? She says it is an interesting/complicated state of affairs, we have quite a few small water bottling plants and they do not produce a lot at the moment - but we are now having some larger companies coming into NZ.  Listen - this gets interesting ... These corporations have been coming into NZ and talking with Government Ministers directly, such as NZ Trade and Enterprise - and supporting NZers who want to sell their land to overseas investors who want to bottle water and these Govt representatives have acknowledged doing this through their emails. That NZ Trade and Enterprise - supports the sale of land. It has supported about 8 overseas enterprises over the years. The NZ Taxpayer is helping finance these industries  It is supporting 6 at the moment and the NZ tax payers are actually supporting water bottling companies (Just like the Film Industry is supported by NZ tax payer dollars) Some overseas companies do need Overseas Investment Office consent. Listen how there’s a number of tiers - with high end solicitors being engaged at the top by the overseas entities and the cash strapped communities and Councils at the bottom. At present: That Aotearoa Water Authority is in court with a Creswell Company at the moment. Plus Otakiri, water bottling is taking 1.1million cubic meters from a deep water aquifer per year near Whakatane. Link. www.Loveandcare.nz That the NZTE brought the Chairman out to NZ so as to help him find the water he was wanting ... So Niki suggests we need an entire country wide review to make everything transparent. The NZTE's job is to help NZ businesses to Grow bigger, better, faster ... but it can also be a NZ business that can be ultimately owned by a foreign company. With the case of Cresswell NZ that wants to run the Whakatane venture as well as Cloud Ocean Water which is a NZ company which has just been taken to court by AWA Aotearoa Water Action, but ultimately it is overseas owned as well. However recently (possibly due to NZ Community pushback) the NZAT have given up actively promoting water bottling to foreign investors. But, they will help a NZ land owner with a large water consent -  a water permit - to sell their land to a foreign investor. Who are these companies? There are Australian Companies that are ultimately owned in Japan. That is Frucor Suntory   See: www.Frucorsuntory.com/brands-nz    But the big ones Aotearoa Water Action are battling in court are from China. Tim asks - shouldn't NZers need to know who is taking our drinking water offshore? Niki says it is more than this. It’s to see what impacts are on our aquifers, future supplies, what about the plastic - what are the recycling facilities overseas?  Because, NZ water is now packaged in plastic to go overseas. Are we basically exporting a plastic tsunami overseas? The amount of NZ drinking water that leaves this country annually is a tricky one she says. In 2017, 28 million litres were being exported every year. In 2017 domestic use was about 158 million litres (packaged in plastic bottles) Last year 118 million litres was exported.(See TVNZ) they did a documentary. Local Push Back  Some years ago, Ashburton in the South Island was going to have a large water bottling venture that essentially was going to sell some land called Lot 9, which had a large 'water permit' attached to it that gave ‘free’ access to huge amounts of water - to an overseas entity, but when people heard about this there was such a 'huge organised and fired up pushback from both the local and the NZ community that it was not allowed to come into being. Lack of Local and Central Government Oversight. Listen - Councils have no duty of care to put out to the community an expression of interest by an overseas company wanting to buy land and ultimately a water source. Thus commercial undertakings of NZ strategic interests have yet to be set in Law to make sure that we do not lose valuable resources due to the public not knowing what is being bought and sold. There is no obligation by the Councils in NZ to let the Community know about important issues such as this. Note that if you have a water right to the land you buy and there is a huge aquifer underneath - there is no Law in NZ stating that you cannot suck it dry! There is no limit on the volume taken out. (Thanks to the NZ Government still remaining conscious) Water is part of the 'commons' and Councils and Government can not charge for it, that can only charge for the council infrastructure to pipe it from place to place. Listen - Niki is a very good communicator. Strategically the water bottlers are looking at aquifers close to ports. Like Cresswell NZ Ltd. Especially in Whakatane in the Bay of Plenty and there are 3 water bottling plants within a two kilometre radius. Also the Whakatane Council was actively promoting the bottling industry and used rate payer funds on marketing the good value of water bottling. Maori Perspective. Tim asks are Maori and Iwi not upset?  She says there are some Maori involved in bottling. One in Murupara was slated to start but it was abandoned because the iwi found that they were not going to have control of the water consent. We have yet not grappled with Maori rights over fresh water as the sovereignty issue naturally has to be addressed. Will we have to take our water, back from the company if our need in the next 30 years become urgent?  What is the deal? OverseasTrade Agreements Trade Agreements that the NZ Government have signed. What are the sticking points if we want to break such deals? What is the punishment etc if we renege on a Trade Agreement? The cultural side is also important. Maori are deeply embedded in Papatuanku - mother earth - they see rivers as living entities they are an extension of the Wairua - just like the Whanganui River has living entity status sanctified by the NZ Government and thus many Maori are offended in the gross commercialisation of what they see as sacred and an extension of their tribal land and indeed the tribe itself. Listen .... the Government is in some ways boxed in due to Trade Agreements - as well as land use - and they were not conscious further back in time to classify water and give it a special status in its own right. The Government and Councils do not grok rivers and land from a holistic perspective and due to linear thinking, were incapable of seeing the big picture - that in Maoris eyes, we are dealing with a living being and water for want of a better expression is an entity within Papatuanuku and is akin to 'her' life blood. Other Subjects covered. Canterbury water allocation for dairy farms - after a certain level of use is reached - then farmers need to then buy it. Via in this case  a company called Hydro Trader. If you are in Canterbury and have a water consent to pump out water on your land. It keeps your land value high - even if you do not utilise it. 34 Billion Litres Per Year. There is 34 billion litres of water per year that has been consented  - but at present only 118 million liters are being bottled so the bottlers are still only doing millions .... just know that the water bottle industry in NZ is according to Niki - is not regulated. That there are no specific rules around water bottling - (thank you NZ Parliamentarians.) They are not classified in the RMA Resource Management Act or in the Policy statement for Freshwater Management - We can now see how ratepayers become the meat in the sandwich. A Royal Commission Required. We in NZ need a Royal Commission to sort this out. But, not just by industry and lawyers - but also land holders, ecologists, water specialists and health professionals too. Niki says we need to look at it from a holistic standpoint. This is a word and a concept, though first used 100 years ago by ex Prime Minister of South Africa Jan Smuts - it is still too intellectually taxing for politicians of today. At present we are bottling water and shipping all these plastic bottles overseas - and leave this plastic for some other nation to clean up. We export our environmental costs, under the pretext that what we are selling is pure water - pumped out of the ground for free!  Plastic bottles - in sun - lot's of micro plastics - children drinking from these bottles - health challenges etc Niki says she doesn't want to see NZ farms dotted with water bottling plants. Speaks out against privatisation of water - it has to remain public owned. There is presently a court case against Cloud Ocean Water, who are extracting here in NZ. This is a very important interview for all NZers - our adult bodies are composed of about 70& water, babies about 85% water. We need the best and highest purity for us all We have to find out how land owners can obtain water consents and what is the process. That once a plot of land has a water consent - it has it  for life?  Who is the person/ organisation who gives this consent to the landowner? Can this consent be overridden? How much does a water consent cost, if any? https://www.aotearoawateraction.org.nz/  https://www.facebook.com/aotearoawateraction/ 

I like looking at the stars. There is a little bit of light pollution where I live so I don't get to see as much as I'd like but if I head up north, the light pollution is less, and the stars are awesome! Anyway, depending on how you believe the universe was formed, you're definition of who the stars were formed is going to be a little different. Today, we look at the Maori legend of “The Creation of the Stars” and see how they thought the stars were created.   Website: http://www.thefightingmoose.com/   iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fighting-moose/id1324413606?mt=2/   Story (PDF): http://ww.thefightingmoose.com/episode122.pdf   Reading List: http://www.thefightingmoose.com/readinglist.pdf   YouTube: https://youtu.be/vEgS3QuiAIM/   Book: “Te Tohunga: The Ancient Legends and Traditions of the Maoris” http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/54610   KidsFirst Kidergartens Article “Rangi and Papa” https://www.kidsfirst.co.nz/Rangi-Papa-__I.74076__N.5159/   Music/Audio: Artist – Analog by Nature http://dig.ccmixter.org/people/cdk   National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA): http://www.nasa.gov   Songs Used: Like Music (cdk Mix) by Analog By Nature (c) copyright 2015 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/cdk/48915 Ft: Phasenwandler  

"At daylight, Tahiti, an island which must for ever remain classical to the voyager in the South Sea, was in view. At a distance the appearance was not attractive. The luxuriant vegetation of the lower part could not yet be seen, and as the clouds rolled past, the wildest and most precipitous peaks showed themselves towards the centre of the island. As soon as we anchored in Matavai Bay, we were surrounded by canoes. This was our Sunday, but the Monday of Tahiti: if the case had been reversed, we should not have received a single visit; for the injunction not to launch a canoe on the sabbath is rigidly obeyed. After dinner we landed to enjoy all the delights produced by the first impressions of a new country, and that country the charming Tahiti. A crowd of men, women, and children, was collected on the memorable Point Venus, ready to receive us with laughing, merry faces." Chapter XVIII-Voyage of the Beagle After 1.5 year absence, Sarah, Josh and James return to the podcast to finish Voyage of the Beagle. We left Charles out in the Pacific Ocean, sailing the 3,200 miles from the Galapagos to Tahiti. It took the Beagle nearly a month to cover that distance and the sailing was difficult. Tahiti was a welcome sight.A long and brilliantly-white beach is capped by a margin of green vegetation; and the strip, looking either way, rapidly narrows away in the distance, and sinks beneath the horizon. From the mast-head a wide expanse of smooth water can be seen within the ring. These low hollow coral islands bear no proportion to the vast ocean out of which they abruptly rise; and it seems wonderful, that such weak invaders are not overwhelmed, by the all-powerful and never-tiring waves of that great sea, miscalled the Pacific.An Aerial View Of Tahiti...By Sylvain Grandadam Darwin enjoyed the hospitality of the native Tahitians and the rich abundance of fruits, roasted bananas and pineapples, which he admitted tasted better than any pineapple cultivated in a hothouse in England.  While in Tahiti, Darwin embarked on the last of his difficult and challenging hikes when he went with two native Tahitians to hike into the valley of Tia-auru. When I lived in Kauai I hiked around the north shore and I imagine the landscape there is not much different from the Tahitian landscape, both are volcanic islands with Kauai being older (5 million years old) than Tahiti (1.6 million years old).View of a valley in Kauai that looks like Tahitian landscapeIn New Zealand Darwin noted the cultural tradition of the native New Zealanders (Maori) tattooing their lips and areas around their face. We discussed how Darwin recognized the role of fashion in a culture and admitted that his bare un-tattooed face was as unsettling to the Maoris as their inked faces were to him.http://servatius.blogspot.com/2015/10/maori-couple-1880s-with-facial-tattoos.htmlA wonderful description of Maori traditional tattoos can be found here.

What a chat with the brothers Sheldon Coffin and Reece Hamon both from very small towns in New Zealand and now living it up in Hong Kong. We talked about the boys upbringing and their values they apply in their daily life. The boys didn't really like going to school but now they are educators. A few laughs and that usual kiwi banter. Lets just roll the intro and here the boys story. CHUR

John Aldworth, the author of his book ‘Forbidden History’ states that virtually his whole life has been devoted to journalism. In particular with British newspapers including the Daily Mail to the Dominion and Evening Post in Wellington, NZ. He has always been interested in story and then sharing them. He states that in the 19th century European historians and some Maori historians talked about things in their past that is now, virtually ‘politically incorrect’ today. That in fact there apparently were different peoples living here prior to the Maori or the Polynesians that came to this country. Not taught in the NZ Education System That today this is not taught in our schools or our universities and John says that if true, that there were other people here, then they are a real and genuine part of our history. His book Forbidden History seeks to show that for Maori that their descendants are here among us - they are living today and the story of at least two of them are written about in his book. A descendent of another DNA strand? He introduces on person who maintains she is a descendant of the Patupaiarehe - fair skinned and fair haired - some with reddish hair  that they have been here for around 2000 years right up until today. He says that there is a small tribe, (hapu) living near Taumaranui in the middle of the North Island. Her name is Monica Matamua an 85 year old woman and participated in a National Geographic Genome project and took a DNA test on her blood. The main results showed 40% Mediterranean origin 12% European and only about 14%  Oceanic or Polynesian. Note That this only totals 66% of the DNA. That the other DNA is of Peruvian or South American origin. He furthers this by saying she is descended from people who had intermarried with Maori people - and he adds to this that certain Maori are in part descendents from these people themselves. He says certainly some of them are. John then states that sales of his book has been bought well be Maori people. Who many are delighted to know that they have a longer whakapapa - or lineage - bloodline. The test show that Middle Eastern especially Persian DNA is in her lineage. That as there was turmoil in Persia, the narrative says that they left there with the desire to find a place to live in peace  … finally after many countries (so the story is conveyed) they ended up in Aotearoa just before the time of Christ. Listen to the interview Waitaha - who are they? John then says that the Polynesian Waitaha nation arrived after that - according to recently deceased Paramount Chief George Connolly  AKA Hori Manuka Manuka Kapenga. The Upoko Ariki or Head Chief of the Waitaha people. Who’s lineage supposedly came from the Middle East as well, according to George, who said that his people landed in NZ around 580 AD. Then John says that there are actually other people but deferred to speak about it saying that it get confusing (I agree says Tim). He said upon their arrival they had the desire to live in peace and with the Patupaiarehe and the Waitaha - they between them lived in peace for 1300 years and John says if this is true - then we owe it to ourselves if this is the history fo this country - to find out as to how did the achieve this peace. Because it is exceptionally unique. See the YouTube Video 'Skeletons in the Cupboard' by Peter Marsh  and Gabie Plumm … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z6PlYiQSTs Poenamo is the actual name of the South Island actually means the Waters of Peace. This is where a good percentage of the Waitaha supposedly come from. Today the South Island is known as Te Wai Pounamu, the waters of greenstone. The Arrival of the Warrior People Then there was the arrival of warrior people … who took over the first inhabitants that were here and then engaged in inter-tribal warfare fighting among themselves. John talks about a Moriori chief in Waikato that once were inhabiting an area from Raglan in the West to Tauranga in the East  - his name being Philipp Ranga - Waikato University Professor Tom Roa when asked agreed and said that there were people in that area before the Maori arrived. In the original history of the Tainui tribe they have in their official record a story that having landed in the Waikato that they  drove out inhabitants and indigenous people that they found. Listen about the Chief of the Moriori of the Chatham islands and what transpired right up until the time to the invasion of Maori who took a British sailing ship filled with warriors and went and took the lives of the population. http://www.jps.auckland.ac.nz/document//Volume_1_1892/Volume_1%2C_No._3%2C_1892/The_occupation_of_the_Chatham_Islands_by_the_Maoris_in_1835%3A_Part_II_-_The_migration_of_Ngatiawa_to_Chatham_Island%2C_by_A._Shand%2C_p154-163/p1 John says that his book has gone into bat for them, because these previous people were never a party to the Treaty of  Waitangi. A treaty between the British Crown and certain Maori Tribes from around NZ. But not all. J H Mitchell - in his book Takitimu which is about the canoe or waka of the Ngāti Kahungunu when they first came to the Hawkes Bay and Wairoa area they were received by people who were already here … but it is said that Ngāti Kahungunu eventually turned on these people Other subjects covered: The stone structures that have been locked away and made out of bounds in Waipoua forest -  a city that may have supported some thousands … Listen … and do a web search. Hear about the late Noel Hilliam, the curator of the Dargaville Museum and what he found as shipwrecks along the West Coast and his profound statement about what may have been a large stone city in the Waipoua forest. That is now a ‘no go’ area by the Department of Conservation. That carbon dating takes it back to 2000 BC. https://breakingviewsnz.blogspot.com/2016/01/mike-butler-disinterest-in-pre-maori.html There are 105 embargoes in place across NZ preventing any forensic research on ancient archaeological sites that go back in time - no one is allowed in to these places - by Law. Learn about the ancient Auckland, Queen St stump and adze that were found during an infrastructure excavation that were so deep in the earth, that it had to have been there far longer than the arrival of present Maori. http://www.kilts.co.nz/stump.htm     There is much more to this very interesting interview and in speaking with John Aldworth afterwards it gave me a sense that he is only looking for the truth on this matter of when was Aotearoa first settled. http://www.ngatihotu.nz/2018/11/01/forbidden-history-by-john-dudley-aldworth/ http://forbiddenhistory.co.nz

This is episode 56 and there are movements afoot. For instance, Transvaal President Paul Kruger is on his way to Europe on a diplomatic mission, Free State President Styen is moving through the Northern Transvaal, and General Louis Botha is harassing Canadian, Australian, and English troops stationed along the all important railway line between Pretoria and Delagoa Bay. Also moving through the veld are Generals Christiaan de Wet and Koos de La Rey. The former has made his way back into his beloved Free State, while the latter is making life difficult for the English across a broad swathe of the Transvaal. Steyn and the rest of the Free State government were returning to battle in the Free State after the all important meeting with Kruger in Nelspruit where it was decided to go ahead with the guerrilla campaign. The British, meanwhile, are considering winding down their forces in South Africa, with their commander in chief Lord Roberts planning his trip back home. The Boers have arranged a second major meeting of generals and government officials at Cyferfontein, a farm around 100 kilometres west of the gold ming city of Johannesburg set for October 25th. Steyn was en route here on his circuitous ride home, so too de le Rey and de Wet, while Botha would also rendezvous with these erstwhile Boer commanders. More about that gathering in coming podcasts. Lord Roberts has setup his army across South Africa to act more like police than soldiers. He believed the bandits, as he called these small groups of roaming Boers, would eventually surrender as long as their logistics could be smashed. So apart from ordering the farms destroyed close to where railway lines or bridges were blown up, he divided the country into areas of command. Garrisons were created in various towns and villages. To put down the insurgency in the countryside, he setup various flying columns. These were supposed to be highly mobile cavalry and mounted infantry units which were tasked with tracking down and trapping the Boer bands. In reality they could not obtain enough horses in order to achieve their main aim. However, the small bands of Boers began to multiply, and yet these flying columns could not locate the ever increasing commandos.

Sonates est l’émission de musique classique de Radio Campus Paris. Notre huitième émission, diffusée le dimanche 28 janvier 2018, est consacrée à la Nouvelle-Zélande. Nous partons à un peu plus de 19000 kilomètres de la France, à 21h de vol, en Nouvelle-Zélande. Si le pays est en ce moment dans l’actualité dans notre pays suite au vent de fraîcheur apporté par sa première ministre, nous allons aujourd’hui nous intéresser à l’histoire et à l’actualité de sa musique. Le 6 février, ce sera la fête nationale néozélandaise, célébrée depuis 1840. Elle commémore le jour où les chefs maoris et les Anglais ont signé sur place le traité de Waitangi qui reconnaît la souveraineté de la Nouvelle-Zélande et donc, la colonisation britannique. Mais c’est aussi le jour où les Maoris ont pu commencer à jouir des mêmes droits que ceux accordés aux britanniques et ont pu conserver leurs terres. Le peuple Maori s’est installé sur l’archipel au 13ème siècle, avant qu’un navigateur néerlandais, Abel Tasman, n’en découvre les côtes en 1642, puis, qu’un siècle plus tard, en 1769, James Cook en fasse une colonie britannique. La Nouvelle-Zélande, ou “Aotearoa”, pays du long nuage blanc, selon les Maori, est un pays indépendant du Royaume-Uni depuis 1907. Nous allons donc nous pencher sur différents compositeurs, compositrices et différentes oeuvres quelque peu méconnues en Europe.

The animals survived in isolation on the island for almost 130 years, during which they became a distinct breed. We are going to look at the history of the Enderby Rabbit, so be prepared to take a remarkable journey of hope, survival, fortitude, lifesaving, rescue, destruction and preservation. This story is like no other in the world of domestic rabbits. Whales were plentiful in the waters that surrounded the Auckland's and the shores would prove to be rich with sea lions, but at the same time shipwrecks were abundant in the rough and dangerous waters around these six volcanic islands. Castaways would attempt to survive for weeks and months, in hopes of a rescue ship finding them. Back in Australia, the Acclimatization Society of Victoria was formed in 1861, with the aim of introducing exotic plants and animals to suitable parts of the colony and to procure animals from Great Britain and other countries. Shortly after the organization was founded, a gift of 4 silver-grey rabbits was presented to the Society in 1864. In a letter dated 3 October, 1865 Jas. G. Francis, Commissioner of Trade and Customs advised Commander William Henry Norman, of the H.M.C.S. VICTORIA I to search the Auckland Islands for possible persons in distress and 'With the view of making provisions, to a certain extent, for any persons who may hereafter be wrecked or in distress upon these islands, the Acclimatization Society have put on board a number of animals, which will be good enough to let loose on the island." There would be 12 rabbits on board ship that set sail Wednesday, October 4, 1865. So Enderby Island rabbits are descendants of English Silver Greys, (not the Champagne de Argente as previously reported in various papers and scientific journals). In some of the research, I found that Bob Whitmann in his research of the breed had locate Mrs. Margaret Levin, of Queensland, Australia who is the great-great-granddaughter of Com. Norman.- She became fascinated with his research project and has provided pictures of the ship, the commander, her crew and best of all, copies of the journal and logbooks of this historic voyage. It should be noted that Margaret was also a rabbit breeder while living in Victoria. From Com. Norman's Journals. "Saturday, 14th. - No traces of pigs or other animals being observed near here; landed four goats, sent by the Acclimatization Society. Some small patches of English grass growing about the old settlement. Later in the day, one of the men reported having seen a dog. This deterred me from landing some rabbits and fowls as I had intended." There is an error in his journal as he write Monday. 18th and this would have actually been Wednesday. 18th "At 4:30 a.m. started for Enderby Island, and anchored in the sandy bay referred to yesterday, at 5 a.m. Sent on shore ten goats and twelve rabbit; these at once took to the English grass, on which I have no doubt they will thrive well. Weighed again at 7:30a.m., and steamed slowly round the island." The H.M.S.C. VICTORIA I returned to its home port, Hobson's Bay, at 1:30 p.m. Monday, November 27, 1865, having found no castaways. Now it should be noted that this was not the first time that rabbits were let released on Enderby Island. The British "EREBUS" and "TERROR" expedition, of Sir James Clark Ross. These rabbits were killed off by the Maoris who did not leave the island until March 1856. Enderby Island is 1,700 acres in size, cold, windy and with high humidity. Except for the coastal cliffs and rocks, along with a few acres of sand hills, the island is pretty much covered with a dense blanket of peat. The 12 rabbits would thrive and multiply, burrowing into the sandy hillsides and dry peat. In 1867, the survivors of the GENERAL GRANT caught many rabbits, as did the survivors of the DERRY CASTLE in March of 1887. During the next 100 years, the rabbits of Enderby would be up and down in population. In 1874, H.M.S. BLANCHE found the island "over-run with black rabbits". 1886 in a report to the Royal Society of Victoria it was reported that the rabbits were fast dying out or rather starved out, having eaten most all the grass and reverting to thickly set mossy plants. By 1894 the HINEMOA reported "rabbits swarm, and greatly reduce the value of the pasturage ... one of the party shot over twenty in the course of short excursion. 25 head of cattle and many rabbits were reported by Oliver in 1927. In 1932 the pastoral lease of the island ended and in 1934 the New Zealand (NZ) government made the island a reserve for the preservation of native flora and fauna. The NZ National Parks and Reserves Authority approved the Auckland Island Management Plan on January 12, 1987 to eliminate all man introduced animals from the islands. A study by B.W. Glentworth in 1991, showed a rabbit population of between 5,000 to 6,000 rabbits. Rabbits were destroying that native vegetation at an alarming rate and playing havoc with the sea lion pup population. The numerous rabbit burrows along Sandy Bay is an important breeding ground for this threatened sea lion species, as pups would become trapped in the burrows and die. It is estimated that over 10% of the pups would die trapped in the burrows. The Canterbury Chapter of the Rare Breeds Conservation Society of NZ (RBCSNZ), having heard of the rabbit's eradication plan, began setting up a project to rescue a breeding population of the Enderby Island Rabbit through the dedicated efforts of Mrs. Catreona Kelly as Project Manager. Michael Willis and Dr. Dave Matheson, D.V.M. of the Rare Breeds Society along with Wayne Costello and Trevor Tidy from the NZ Department of Conservation (DOC) would travel on board the naval diving ship MANAWANUI, arriving on Enderby on Tuesday 15, September, 1992 at 11 :30 p. m .. A permit was secured to trap 50 rabbits in just a very few days. Various modes of trapping were used, baffle traps and funnel nets at the warren entrances, soft-jaw leg hold traps, proved to be of little use, but 200 meters of wing netting would be the most successful. Rabbits would be trapped from four locations, which were given warren names; Enderby, Stella, Rata and Base. By September 19th, 50 rabbits had been captured, 15 does (females) and 35 bucks (males). Dive teams ferried the rabbits on inflatable Zodiacs back to the main ship in rather difficult swell conditions. Of special note, it was during this recovery, that the last two surviving members of the Enderby Island cattle breed were discovered. The cow, named lady and her calf, which soon died would make world history, as Lady is the largest mammal ever cloned, first cow cloned to have calve, and the first attempt at cloning to save a rare breed, well it's a story all to its own. The 49 rabbits (one died of a back injury) would arrive at Somes Island in Wellington Harbor on September 25th at 6 p.m. to begin a one-month quarantine period, which ended on October 28, 1992. There would be 3 kits (young) born during this period. Each rabbit was carefully inspected, handled, identified with an ear tag and given a permanent tattoo. Rabbits were split into three different destination groups, one for Wairarapa, and another for New Plymouth and the rest for Christchurch. All rabbits born were carefully recorded in the stud book by Mrs. Kelly. All rabbits were the property of the D.O.C. however ten dedicated caregivers would be entrusted with the rabbits, under contract, with the RBCSNZ. In 1998 private ownership of the Enderby Island rabbits would begin as the numbers of rabbits increased. The eradication program took place from February 9 through May 8, 1993 with a team of four people and a specially trained rabbit-tracking dog named Boss. The rabbits would be killed with a green dyed cereal pellet containing Brodifacoum, which was sowed using a helicopter. The last Enderby Island rabbit would be caught and destroyed on April 12, 1993 ending a 127 year period of natural selection. Enderby Island rabbits are the world's rarest breed of rabbit, with less than 300 animals in existence. Most are black, but there are few known cream colored ones and even fewer blues. The breed evolved from the English Silver Greys, and not the Champagne de Argente as previously reported in various papers and scientific journals. A brief background on the silvers from Bob Whitman who had been a collector of old rabbit books for 30 years. In his research some of the earliest works state that the Silver came from Siam and brought to England by traders, other works say that Silver Greys existed thousands of years ago in India and were brought to Europe by Portuguese sailors early in the 17th century. Gervase Markham in 1631 wrote that rabbits with silver tips to their hairs were being kept in warrens in England. It is well documented that Silvers appeared in the warrens of Lincolnshire, England amongst wild rabbit and were known as Sprigs, Millers, Lincolnshire Silver Greys, Chinchilla Silver Grey, Riche and more simply put Silver Grey. The breed was first shown in England in 1860. A buff colored Silver Grey doe took first honors at the Crystal Palace Poultry Show in the "Foreign Class" in 1863. Mature weight at the time was 6 to 9 pounds. Thousands of them were being raised in the warrens of 1850s for table purposes in the larger cities, and the skins were bought up for exportation to Russia and China. The first English breed standard was set up in 1880. The Champagne de Argente was not introduced into the Britain until 1920 and weighed a hefty 9 to 11 pounds. English breeders have perfected the silver breed to have an even silvering over the entire body, including the head, feet and tail. The fur is sleek, with a fly back coat. In one of Bob Wittman's early books, Manuals for the Many the Rabbit Book, circa 1855, there is a wood engraving that screams Enderby Island Rabbit. I quote, "The head and ears are nearly all black with a few white hairs. These white hairs are more numerous on the neck, shoulders, and back; but on all the lower parts, such as the chest or belly, the number of white hairs is greater than those of a blue or black color." So there you have it, a very condensed version of a remarkable story. Some 250 plus generations, of natural selection during a course of 127 years of near total isolation on a sub Antarctic island called Enderby, where a nucleus of 12 rabbits would evolve to become their own breed called Enderby Island. Overall Description The Enderby Island Rabbit is a rare and endangered breed.The Enderby Island Rabbit has a medium length body that features a slight taper from the front to the hindquarters, and the back will also be slightly arched. The head, which is well set upon the shoulders, should be medium in size and it should be in proportion with the rest of the body. There is not a visible neck, and the ears are carried in the shape of a “V”. The eyes are bold. The legs and the feet are fine to medium boned, and the nails will match the body color. In general, when looking at an Enderby Island Rabbit, you will notice that the body is fine-boned and slim. The head will be small, and the ears will be delicate and upright. Body to be medium in length, with a slight taper from the hindquarters to front, with a slightly arched back. Leaning towards a racy look. The head is to be medium in size and in proportion to the body. It is to be well set in the shoulders and show no visible neck. The ears are to be in proportion and firmly set on head. They are to be carried in a "v", not necessarily together. The feet and legs are to be medium to fine in bone and good length. The Nails are to match the body colour. Litters are rather small with 2, 3 and 4 kits, with a record being 8 Weight: Although descended from the Silver Greys which weighed between 8 and 9 lbs the Enderby island rabbit has evolved to be a little smaller with the average weight ranging from 3 to 4 lbs. Coat The coat of the Enderby Island Rabbit is soft and short. The body is rather heavily silvered in most animals, with about 80% silvering. The extremities, i.e., the head ears, feet and tail are much darker and only lightly silvered, with a pronounced butterfly marking on the nose. The coat is unlike the Silver breed, being more open, longer and soft in texture. The youngsters can be rather slow to silver and may require 6 to 8 months to complete the cycle. Adults become more silvered over the years. Faults: Coat too harsh, woolly, thin or short Serious Fault: White hairs in armpits Disqualifications: White patches on colored fur or colored patches on white fur. Colors Enderby Rabbits can come in a few different colors, but the majority of them will be a distinct silver-grey with a dark slate blue undercoat. The ears, tail, and head will be darker and are often black. Slate–Undercolor showing a dark slate blue. silvering on body, medium preferred. Champagne– Under showing a lighter shade of slate blue. Silvering on body seen a medium to heavy. The whole evenly and moderately interspersed with longer, jet black hairs and silver tipped hairs. Head, ears, feet & tail can range from almost black with light silvering. To less of the base color showing through the points, due to an increased amount of silvering in the body Crème - Undercolor orange to go down as far as possible, body color creamy white, the whole evenly and moderately interspersed with longer orange hairs and silver tipped hairs. Darker markings on head, ears, feet & tail permissible with less silvering than the main body. White underbelly is permissible. Evenness and Brightness of Silvering - The evenness of silvering is more important than the degree of silvering. Silvering is to be evenly distributed over the body with exception of head, feet and tail showing more of the base color. A diamond shape of un-silvered fur on the forehead permissible until fully mature.(mask to have silvering) Under 5 months - Slate/Champagne kits are born black. Creme kits are born a fawn color. Silvering starts to show from about 6-8 weeks and can take up to 6 months to come into their full coat. Solid patches of the base color will be seen on the juvenile coat. Under 5's should be judged for their general type and evenness of silvering that is coming through at the time of showing. A diamond shape of un-silvered fur on the forehead permissible until fully mature.(mask to have silvering). Acceptable colors for this rabbit breed include slate, champagne, and crème. Champagne and slate rabbits are actually born black, and crème rabbits are born featuring a fawn color. The body will become heavily silvered (roughly 80% silvering) in most Enderby Rabbits, but the feet, tail, ears, and head will be lightly silvered. I suppose you could say there are two varieties of Enderby Island. They come mainly in the silver-grey but a very small percentage are born cream or beige-colored – a shade produced by a recessive gene You will notice the Enderby Island Rabbit’s distinct silvering begin to appear on the coat at around 6 to 8 weeks. It could take up to 6 months or more for it to come into the full coat. Also, the juvenile coat of the Enderby Rabbit will feature solid patches in the base color. And as the rabbits age, they will become even more silvered. Care Requirements The coat of an Enderby Island Rabbit will become heavily silvered.If you are planning on bringing an Enderby Island Rabbit into your family, you should have enough room for a large enclosure that will keep your pet safe and comfortable. Your rabbit should be able to stand up, turn around, and stretch while in his cage, and he should be able to come out of the cage regularly in order to play and interact with you. You can keep your Enderby Island Rabbit indoors or outside, as this breed is hardy and accustomed to cold weather, but be sure to protect him from predators. Indoors, make room for your pet to run around and exercise outside of the cage, and give him an area where he can get access to fresh air and sunshine. If you want to let your rabbit spend some time outside, you can place your rabbit in an exercise pen, lawn enclosure, or extension hut for safety. Feed your Enderby Rabbit a diet that consists of pellets, hay, and vegetables. You can include grass hays like orchard, oat, and timothy hays, and you can purchase pellets designed for rabbits. Fresh foods, such as dark, leafy greens, should also be provided. Limit the amount of starchy veggies and fruits that your rabbit eats, and always provide fresh, clean water. It was noted that the breed had adapted to eating seaweed. Health Keep your pet’s environment as stress-free as possible because stress alone could lower your rabbit’s ability to resist disease. Like other rabbits, the Enderby Island Rabbit might be susceptible to ear mites, conjunctivitis, bloat, hairball obstructions, and intestinal problems, such as coccidiosis. Rabbit Care & Handling These rabbits can be very affectionate, especially when a treat or food is on offer. They are very neat and tidy rabbits too and you will usually find, especially does have a tendency to keep their nest area in ship-shape condition. They do love being outside and have not really been adapted for indoor environments, the breed being evolved from a very cold, sub-antartic island. Their diet is the same for any other rabbit but just be careful not to overfeed as they can be a little greedy and do not carry excess weight well as they will be unable to groom themselves properly. Temperament/Behavior Enderby Rabbits are prone to being skittish, but you can reduce the amount of nervousness that your pet feels by simply providing him with plenty of attention and gentle handling. When an Enderby Island Rabbit is properly socialized, he will be affectionate towards the people that he has grown to trust. Bond with your pet by grooming him and giving him treats. Eventually, your rabbit might show you how much he loves you by licking and kissing you. They can be quite skittish and nervous and on the look out for predators all the time. This makes them want to naturally burrow and hide. Also keep in mind that, like all rabbits, the Enderby Rabbit is a social creature that is happiest when it is with other rabbits, so if you have the space for two or three rabbits, or you don’t have the time to dedicate to interacting with your rabbit, consider getting more than one. For several years all animals remained the property of the Rare Breeds Conservation Society of New Zealand with breeding programmes being undertaken by individual caregivers. Some animals are now available for purchase by private enthusiasts, and some have even been exported to North America. Clubs Today the Enderby Island rabbit as a breed is not only rare but also endangered. The breed is endangered due to the large number of hybrids formed with individuals crossing the Enderby with other domestic rabbit breeds. The Enderby is not recognised by the BRC (British Rabbit Council) or the ARBA, (American Rabbit Breeders Association). Through the determined and dedicated efforts to keep the breed alive Sitereh and Chris Schouten of Nature's Pace near Christchurch, the Enderby Island rabbit was given breed status by the Rabbit Council of New Zealand in April, 2002 when it was accepted into their book of Standards. It should also be noted that Sitereh, is now the official recorded keeper of all Enderbys. The Enderby Island Rabbit Club of NZ has been created to protect, further and coordiante the interests of all Enderby Island Rabbit Breeders and to assist and extend the exhibition of Enderby rabbits. For a full run down on points for judging, you can purchase a copy of the standards from RCNZ THANK YOU RBCSNZ for saving this breed.

Rattlesnake was there, and was called Soft Child because he was so soft in his motions. The people like to hear him rattle, and little rest did he get because they continually poked and scratched him so that he would shake the rattles in his tail. At last Rattlesnake went to Elder Brother to ask help. Elder Brother pulled a hair from his own lip, cut it into short pieces , and made it into teeth for Soft Child. "If any one bothers you", he said "bite him". That evening Ta-api, Rabbit, came to Soft Child as he had done before and scratched him. Soft Child raised his head and bit rabbit. Rabbit was very angry and scratched him again. Soft Child bit him again. Then Rabbit ran about saying that Soft Child was angry and had bitten him. Then he went to rattlesnake again, and twice more he was bitten. The bites made rabbit very sick. He asked for a bed of cool sea sand. Coyote was sent to the sea for the cool, damp sand. Then Rabbit asked for the shade of bushes that he might feel the cool breeze. But at last Rabbit died. He was the first creature which had died in this new world. Then the people were troubled because they did not know what to do with the body of rabbit. One said, "If we bury him, Coyote will surely dig him up". Another said, "if we hide him, Coyote will surely find him." And another said, "If we put him in a tree, Coyote will surely climb up." So they decided to burn the body of rabbit, and yet there was no fire on Earth. Blue Fly said, "Go to the sun and get some of the fire which he keeps in his house," So Coyote scampered away, but he was sure the people were trying to get rid of him so he kept looking back. Then Blue Fly made the first drill. Taking a stick like an arrow, he twirled it in his hands, letting the lower end rest on a flat stick that lay on the ground. Soon smoke began to rise, and then fire came. The people gathered fuel and began their duty. But Coyote, looking back, saw fire ascending. He turned and ran back as fast as he could go. When the people saw him coming, they formed a ring, but he raced around the circle until he saw two short men standing together. He jumped over them, and seized the heart of the rabbit. But he burned his mouth doing it, and it is black to this day. NEWS: Hanford’s Storybook Set to Open Phase 1 http://www.ourvalleyvoice.com/2017/09/10/hanfords-storybook-set-open-phase-1/ Posted on September 10, 2017 by Nancy Vigran Volunteers have been working with fervor to compete as much as possible of the Children’s Storybook Garden and Farm History Museum Phase 1, prior to its soft opening on September 23. Located at the corner of Harris and Tenth in downtown Hanford, Storybook was the brainstorm of Judy Wait, a retired Hanford teacher. She combined her teaching skills with her love for gardening, and in 2011 with her husband, Larry, took off on a trip to visit children’s gardens around the country. Children’s Storybook Garden and Farm History Museum motivator and director, Judy Wait, shows off Peter Rabbit’s Burrow and Mr. McGregor’s House, just two of the many houses, tunnels, barns and more for children to play in when they visit. Nancy Vigran/Valley Voice Six years later, with some 70-80 regular volunteers and so many in the local community, her fairytale has become a reality, not that she ever doubted it would. “I’m a believer,” she said. “I knew it would happen – it shows how much this was wanted.” The garden and museum have been, and continue to be, developed through a non-profit organization of the same name. The original one-acre property purchase was made possible through a loan – now paid-off through a $200,000 donation through a private donor who wishes to remain nameless. Prior to that a donor-loaner, another private individual, helped ease payments by making them for the organization, allowing funds for progress on the museum and gardens. That donor-loaner has also been repaid in full. The Victorian Burr Home, to become the museum, gift shop and kitchen, was donated by Bill Clark. And, through the donations of so many others including in part, Allen Laird Plumbing, Mike Crain Heating and Air, Randy Mc Nary Construction, Dan Veyna – Sierra Landscape & Design, Zumwalt & Hansen Engineering, Home Depot, Bettencourt Farms, Joe Robinson Concrete and Willie Williams Masonry, Storybook remains debt free. “It’s very grass roots,” said Kate Catalina, a long-term volunteer. “Everything is through volunteers and local support, given with love.” Sponsorships of individual gardens and or building areas have played an important part, as well. Peter Rabbit’s Burrow is covered with sweet potato vine. Entrance to the burrow is obvious, but the exit comes out through the vine. Nancy Vigran/Valley Voice With Phase 1 comes Peter Rabbit’s Burrow, Mr. McGregor’s House, Charlotte’s Dairy Barn, the Woodland Log Cabin and Garden, a Salsa Garden, the Teaching or Kitchen Garden, Nolan’s Critter Creek and Pond, the Topiary Garden, a Pizza Garden, the Three Little Pigs homes and Monet’s House. Each garden will have its own unique features to explore, and a book box holding books representing the inspiration for each, will be placed there for reading. The Teaching Garden will be planted with fall and winter crops by the children in the first field trips. Following groups will help tend to the garden and later harvest, clean and prepare the crops. The Victorian Burr Home is furnished with antiques donated by the community. “We’re trying to set up as in its heyday,” Catalina said. The Tank House, which came along with the Burr House, is also refreshed and will be utilized in teaching water conservation. Storybook is managed and run through its volunteers. However, an educational director and teaching assistant have been hired, each with her own set of experiences. “We were lucky to get these two really special people,” Wait said. “What sold us on them, was that you could just tell they love kids and love gardening, and would love this children’s garden.” Student volunteers are also welcome and encouraged through the Green Teens Club, ages 13-18. They will learn to be docents and readers in the gardens, and will receive community service hours. There is already a 4-H club tending to some of the gardens, as well as members of World Link Volunteer, a foreign-exchange group. Upon completion of Phase 1, Phase 2 will start to come together early next year, with completion of a new bathroom facility. Also in Phase 2 will be the building of the Stone Cottage, the Secret Garden and Celebration Garden. Completion of Phase 2 will allow for Storybook to be available for weddings and other small outdoor gatherings. “I just feel like it is all coming together,” Wait said. “And, it’s beautiful as it is happening.” The Victorian Burr Home, which has become the Storybook Museum, was donated to the project by Bill Clark. Freshly painted and with updated plumbing and electricity, as well as heating and air conditioning, the museum houses various antiques donated by members of the community, and will eventually also house a gift shop. Nancy Vigran/Valley Voice Field trips for many Hanford schools have already been arranged. Any school within the county and beyond, as well as clubs and other groups are welcome to schedule a trip. Storybook will also be open to the public starting with the soft opening. The hours, to start, are Tuesday – Sunday, 10am – 4pm. Storybook will be closed on Mondays. Storybook will also feature a variety of special occasions including its first Happily Haunted Halloween Light Show in October. Some type of children’s event and adult event will eventually be held each month including multi-cultural events, Wait said. Sponsorship for areas of the gardens and buildings are still needed. Monetary donations of $50 can be applied to a foot of fencing, or a brick becoming a border on a walkway. Kings County Board of Supervisors Chair Craig Pedersen, who grew up in Kings County, said the board is excited about the project. “A place where children have the opportunity to explore and grow is a good thing,” he said. “Anything we can do to try and help, we’ll do.” For more information and to volunteer or donate, view, www.childrensstorybookgarden.org/ or call, 559-341-4845.   Joe Chianakas Pre-Releases The Final Book In His Famous Rabbit In Red Series http://www.centralillinoisproud.com/news/living-well/joe-chianakas-pre-releases-the-final-book-in-his-famous-rabbit-in-red-series/809144841 WASHINGTON, IL - The Rabbit in Red series continues!

The charming clip from the 52-minute retelling of the classic story, released in 1915, shows Alice going down the rabbit hole and meeting familiar characters such as the White Rabbit and the pipe-smoking caterpillar. Alice, played by Viola Savoy, is also seen swinging a flamingo as a mallet in the peculiar croquet scene, and standing as a witness at the trial to investigate who stole the Queen of Hearts' tarts. The scenes make up a silent film released in 1915 by writer and director, WW Young. It is notable for depicting much of the 'Father William' poem that appears in Lewis Carroll's classic 1865 novel. His motion picture was a precursor of a world famous cartoon. These scenes (including Alice and the pipe-smoking caterpillar, pictured) make up a silent film by writer and director, WW Young.

Karen Wharam Schricker says her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in May. Her daughter sewed and donated over 100 bunnies that have encouraging names and scriptures on them. The bunnies were placed in waiting rooms of radiation and oncology units. "She wanted them to have something to hold on to, feel a small bit of comfort, and to know someone cared," said Schricker.   Drones used to target Lincolnshire hare coursers http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-41171890 Lincolnshire Police's Operation Galileo is also using off-road vehicles to tackle coursers. More than 2,000 calls were made to the county's police during the 2015-16 hare coursing season. Chief Constable Bill Skelly said the introduction of drones would prove useful in gathering evidence to put before the courts. More on this and other local stories from across Lincolnshire Last season, farmers said some areas of the county resembled the "Wild West" after an escalation in the level of violence used by coursers. Mr Skelly said evidence gathered by drones would help "bring about a better result for our rural communities... and the right convictions for the worst offenders". However, Alister Green, from the National Farmers Union, said "the proof will be in the pudding". He said he hoped the use of drones, along with other measures, would help act as a deterrent. Traditionally offenses start to rise in the autumn after crops have been harvested, and continue until the end of the season in spring. Last year, coursers from as far afield as Sussex and North Yorkshire were dealt with by the force. Three arrests Hare coursing has been illegal throughout the UK since 2005. The Hunting Act 2004 makes it an offense to hunt wild mammals with dogs. Lincolnshire Police has previously described the coursers as the "scourge of rural England", and said it was doing everything within its power to deal with those involved. On Tuesday, a vehicle and four dogs were seized, as police made three arrests at Braceby, near Sleaford. The force said the season had started earlier this year due to the early harvest. Hare coursing Since 2005, hare coursing has been illegal throughout the UK. The Hunting Act 2004 makes it an offence to hunt wild mammals with dogs The dogs - usually greyhounds, lurchers or salukis - are on a slip lead, threaded so it can be easily released The coursers will walk along the field to frighten the hare into the open The dog catches the hare and kills it by "ragging" it - shaking the animal in its teeth The dead hare is usually left in the field or thrown in a ditch     Venezuelan president's plan to beat hunger: breed rabbits – and eat them https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/14/venezuela-president-maduro-rabbit-plan Venezuela’s government has urged citizens to see rabbits as more than “cute pets” as it defended a plan to breed and eat them – even as the opposition says this would do nothing to end chronic food shortages. The “rabbit plan” is an effort by the government of Nicolás Maduro to boost food availability. Authorities have also taught citizens to plant food on the roofs and balconies of their homes. Maduro’s adversaries dismiss such ideas as nonsensical, insisting the real problem is a failed model of oil-financed socialism that was unable to survive after crude markets collapsed. Hunger eats away at Venezuela’s soul as its people struggle to survive Read more “There is a cultural problem because we have been taught that rabbits are cute pets,” the urban agriculture minister, Freddy Bernal, said during a televised broadcast with Maduro this week. “A rabbit is not a pet; it’s two and a half kilos of meat that is high in protein, with no cholesterol.“ Maduro’s critics lampooned the idea. “Are you serious?” asked Henrique Capriles, a state governor and two-time opposition presidential candidate in a video to response to Bernal. “You want people to start raising rabbits to solve the problem of hunger in our country?” Rabbit consumption is common in Europe and to lesser extent in the United States. The animals are more efficient than pigs and cattle in converting protein into edible meat, according to the United Nations food and agriculture organization. But raising rabbits in significant quantities in contemporary Venezuela would be difficult. The country’s constant shortages, resulting from stringent price and currency controls, would probably leave the would-be rabbit industry struggling to find materials ranging from feed to metal and wire for breeding cages. Maduro says the country is a victim of an “economic war” led by adversaries and fueled by recent sanctions imposed by the administration of Donald Trump.   Vice president's pet rabbit hops into book deal http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/15/politics/marlon-bundo-book-mike-pence-rabbit/index.html The precocious pet rabbit of the vice president of the United States is hopping into a book deal. Marlon Bundo, the Pence family rabbit with his own Instagram account, announced Friday that he is the star of a new book. "Marlon Bundo's 'A Day in the Life of the Vice President,' " due out March 19, will chronicle the BOTUS' (Bunny of the United States) day alongside "Grampa" Mike Pence. In the book, I follow Grampa around all day, as a BOTUS should, while he goes about his duties as Vice President!" an Instagram post from the first rabbit read. The book was written by the vice president's daughter, Charlotte Pence, with watercolor illustrations by second lady Karen Pence, an award-winning artist. Charlotte Pence adopted Marlon Bundo, named for actor Marlon Brando, for a college filmmaking project. Bundo has since gone viral, appearing at official White House events and frequently posting updates in first person on social media. "Marlon has become a national celebrity!" a press release for the book reads. A portion of the proceeds will benefit A21, an organization focused on combating human trafficking, and two art therapy programs, a key aspect of the second lady's platform. Marlon Bundo lives alongside the vice president and second lady and a veritable menagerie at the Naval Observatory. When the Pences traveled from Indiana to Washington days before the inauguration, they disembarked with cats Pickle and Oreo, plus rabbit Marlon Bundo. In the absence of a pet in the first family, Bundo has become an icon in the rabbit world. Days before the election, the family lost their beloved 13-year-old beloved beagle, Maverick. Less than a year later, cat Oreo joined Maverick in pet heaven. "Rest in peace Oreo. You touched a lot of hearts in your little life," Karen Pence tweeted alongside photos of the black and white cat. "Our family will miss you very much." But Marlon Bundo and Pickle weren't the only pets for long; one week later, the vice president, second lady, and daughter, Charlotte, traveled to their home state of Indiana, where kitten Hazel and Australian shepherd puppy Harley joined the brood. No word yet on whether the bunny will go on a book tour.     Bill would require pet stores to sell rescue animals http://www.mercedsunstar.com/news/state/article173332256.html By KATHLEEN RONAYNE Associated Press California could become the first state to ban the sale of animals from so-called puppy mills or mass breeding operations under legislation sent Thursday to Gov. Jerry Brown by lawmakers. Animal rights groups are cheering the bill by Democratic Assemblyman Patrick O'Donnell to require pet stores to work with animal shelters or rescue operations if they want to sell dogs, cats or rabbit. Thirty-six cities in California, including Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Francisco already have similar bans in place, but no statewide bans exist. ADVERTISING "We've actually seen a thriving pet industry based on the model of getting these from shelters," said Democratic Assemblyman Matt Dababneh of Encino. Brown spokesman Brian Ferguson declined to comment on whether the governor plans to sign it. Private breeders would still be allowed to sell dogs, cats and rabbits directly to individuals. Supporters of the bill say it's aimed at encouraging families and individual buyers to work directly with breeders or to adopt pets in shelters. It also would ensure animals are bred and sold healthily and humanely, supporters said. Few pet stores in California are still selling animals and many already team up with rescue organizations to facilitate adoptions, according to O'Donnell's office. "Californians spend more than $250 million a year to house and euthanize animals in our shelters," O'Donnell said in a statement. "Protecting the pets that make our house a home is an effort that makes us all proud." The bill would also require pet stores to maintain records showing where each dog, cat or rabbit it sells came from and to publicly display that information. A violation of the law would carry a $500 civil fine.   Stone Bridge Preserve: Conservation Project Creates New England Cottontail Habitat https://newtownbee.com/stone-bridge-preserve-conservation-project-creates-new-england-cottontail-habitat/ In light of its goal to provide diversity in natural habitats, the Conservation Commission on September 8 provided the public with a view of the markedly changed landscape at sections of the town’s Stone Bridge Preserve, where extensive recent tree cutting has created habitat suitable for the New England cottontail rabbit to thrive. According to the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP), the New England cottontail is Connecticut’s only native rabbit, and differs from the Eastern cottontail, which is “now the predominant species.” Also, “New England cottontails require large patches of shrubland or young forest, often called thickets, with dense, tangled vegetation.” The New England cottontail has been designated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service as “a candidate for threatened or endangered status,” since 2006. The open space land where the tree cutting occurred lies along Stone Bridge Trail, a narrow dirt road that extends northward from Berkshire Road (Route 34), just south of Nighthawk Lane. The area is adjacent to the Iroquois Gas Transmission System’s cross-country pipeline. The tree cutting in the heavily canopied forest created a young forest and shrublands known as “early successional habitat.” As people toured the rolling terrain where hundreds of mature trees have been cut, they remarked that the tree trunks that lay chockablock across the ground reminded them of the damage that is done by hurricanes. Actually, after loggers cut the trees last winter, they left the tree trunks in piles scattered across the site to deter deer from walking there. The presence of deer damages the new shrubland habitat for the New England cottontail. The habitat that was created also is expected to benefit more than 50 other species. Forester Jeremy Clark, who served as the project manager for the Conservation Commission, provided a tour of the area. Iroquois provided grant funds for a forest management plan that preceded the habitat project. Mr Clark said that some “seed trees” were left standing after the cutting to provide seed for new trees to grow in the area. Lisa Wahle, a biologist who worked on the habitat project, said that the area will be scientifically monitored to gauge the extent to which New England cottontail rabbits have populated the area. Of the habitat project, the Conservation Commission states on its website, “Newtown is committed to providing diverse habitat on appropriate open space properties that will provide, shelter, food, and protection for threatened wildlife that, without intervention, may become extinct.”     © Copyrighted

Brian Howard is Research and Policy Analyst American Indian Policy Institute. He is Pipash, Akimel and Tohono O’odham. I’ve always respected Brian for his humility, knack for policy, and his commitment to Indian Country. During our conversation, I got to know more about his personal story, which I think includes a key lesson for everyone: being uncomfortable in order to grow. Brian shared a few stories during our conversation that shared the theme of growth and trying something new. What I found unique about the experiences was that he was able to combine the new experience with a familiar one so that the new challenge does not seem to have been as challenging as it could have been. For example, Brian traveled to Australia and New Zealand for a study abroad program when he was 16 years old. It was a big transition, but he spent much of his time in communities with Aborigines and Maoris, a familiar experience that helped him in his experience.   Recently he moved back home to be closer to his family, including his niece for whom he now acts as a father figure. He was moving back home, and closer to family. Easy, right? Well, he made the move without any job prospect. Each instance is an example of situations where people may not have taken action because they were afraid. What if I’m home sick? I would move back home but I don’t have a job yet. Brian did not let those questions deter him, and he came out on the other end of those experiences with new perspective.   Brian shared many great insights in this episode. He talked about the amazing role his mother played in his life, the importance of understanding policy issues, enduring lost loved ones, and more.   But I think Brian’s willingness to take on new challenges, and grow as an individual, is the best lesson we can take away. You don’t need to be considering a move to Australia to take advantage of his lesson. Identify a goal, challenge, or need that makes you uncomfortable. Do you feel that feeling in your gut? Did you immediately find 10 reasons why you can’t achieve it? If you did, then I think you found what you should focus on.

Matariki - Das Neujahrsfest der Maori Mit Matariki bezeichnen die Maoris in Neuseeland das Sternbild der Plejaden. Wenn dieses am Himmel erscheint beginnt für die Stämme ein neues Jahr. Nach der Sternenkonstellation richteten sich ihre Neuplanzungen und die Aussaat. 2013 beginnen die Matariki – Neujahrsfeiern am 10. Juni.

Beginners. I'm back from a wonderful trip. Do you want to hear about it? Do you know anything about New Zealand? I'll give you some of the most important details. It is situated in Oceania which is in the Pacific Ocean in the Southern Hemisphere. It's population is about four million, so, it is not very populated. It is about one hundred and four square miles in size, spread out over two main islands, North and South, and a few smaller islands. English is the main language, though there is a second, native language of Maori, from the people of the same name. The Maoris arrived from Polynesia about a thousand years ago. They were hunter gatherers who lived off of the land and sea. In 1642 the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman sighted* the land, then in 1769 Captain James Cook, the English explorer, landed. Many Europeans came soon afterwards to hunt whales and seals, others to farm and develop towns. Of course, there were conflicts and wars between the Europeans and the Maori over land. In 1840 the British crown gained control of the country, but still there are disputes over who really owns 'Aotearoa' which is the Maori name for the country. The Kiwis, or natives, are extremely proud of their country, especially of its natural beauty: the Snowy Alps, sunny beaches, massive fiords, volcanoes, lakes, forests, and quiet rolling hills. Grammar notes.  Related vocabulary: population/ populated, language, hunters, explorer, conflicts, natives, crown, to gain, to know something about..., to sight. Exs: I don't know anything about mechanics, but my brother does. Do you know anything about the subjunctive? It's really not too difficult in English. The sailor sighted an island that had never been seen before. * Though 'to sight' is related to the verb 'to see' it is used in terms of search and discovery. Advanced. I wish that I had had more time to discover the amazing land of New Zealand. In total, I only had about one week there, from arriving to leaving. I did, however, make the most of it. I whizzed around at 100 miles per hour, trying to see as much as possible. "You travel really well, Anna!" said my brother, observing me after I had been there for a couple of days. I had not experienced any jetlag, and I was determined that I wouldn't. I didn't want anything to spoil my treat! I spent two days in Christchurch, where my brother lives. What a beautiful city! It is like a spotless park. The Kiwis take pride in keeping their country clean, and they recycle just about everything. Then I flew South to Queenstown. I stayed at a Youth Hostel right on the lake which had 'The Remarkables', a line of mountains, to the side. I toured Fiordland which you can see a little of in my photo. Then, on my last day there, I treated myself to a helicopter ride over part of the Alps. Wow! Can anyone say spectacular? What views! We flew over dense forests that I have seen before in some of  the Lord of the Rings. The whole experience was like being in a story book. My last few days were spent with my brother. We went sight seeing* to wineries, beeches, and even a thermal spa. I was sad to say goodbye to my brother, but after being in New Zealand, I fully understand why he has lived there for the past eleven years.  Grammar notes. Useful vocabulary: to sight see, to make the most of ..., to whizz around, spotless, to take pride, to treat oneself/ a treat. ** With the expression 'to sight see', the word 'see' only changes slightly with a change of tense. We never say "I sight saw" for the past. And it sounds awkward to use 'seen', as in "Have you ever sight seen?" It is best to use the past of the verb 'to go: We went sight seeing all over the place. Have you ever been sight seeing? We will need to sight see some more before we leave this city.  The Pluperfect: Exs:They hadn't had enough time to study, but they took the test anyway. He had lived in the South for twenty years, but he got married and has lived in the North for the past year.
