MATARIKI


Matariki (the Pleiades)

Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars known as the Pleiades. When it rises in the north-eastern skies in late May or early June, it signals to Māori that the New Year will begin. In one tradition, Matariki is the mother surrounded by her six daughters, Tupu-a-nuku, Tupu-a-rangi, Waitī, Waitā, Waipuna-a-rangi and Ururangi.


MATARIKI.

What is Matariki?
Matariki is the Maori name for the group of stars also known as the Pleiades star cluster or The Seven Sisters; and what is referred to as the traditional Maori New Year.

When is the Maori New Year?
The Maori new year is marked by the rise of Matariki and the sighting of the next new moon. The pre-dawn rise of Matariki can be seen in the last few days of May every year and the new year is marked at the sighting of the next new moon which occurs during June. This next occurs on 5 June 2008.

What does Matariki mean?

Matariki has two meanings, both referring to a tiny constellation of stars; Mata Riki (Tiny Eyes) and Mata Ariki (Eyes of God).

How is Matariki celebrated?

Matariki is celebrated with education, remembrance and the planting of new trees and crops signalling new beginnings. Matariki was the optimum time for new harvests, and ceremonial offerings to the land-based gods Rongo, Uenuku and Whiro to ensure good crops for the coming year. It was also seen as a perfect time to learn about the land we live on and to remember whakapapa (ancestry) who have passed from this world to the next and the legacy they left behind.

Here is a fact about Matariki-
According to Greek myth, the Pleiades are the seven daughters of Pleione and Atlas – Electra, Maia, Taygete, Alcyone, Celaeno, Asterope and Merope. While wandering through the woods one day, they were spied by Orion, who gave chase. To save them from Orion’s dishonorable intentions, Zeus transformed them into stars and placed them in the sky. A number of ancient temples on the Acropolis in Athens face the direction where the Pleiades rise.




I hope you enjoyed that blog post and now know more about Matariki!

Then I thought to myself- hang on, why am I singing this. I waited to the next add and then It was some Anz add. I also knew all the words/script to this song!!! i also knew the words for the next couple of add's!!! Isn't it weird how, when you have seen an add lots of times and when you hear a little theme song with it you automatically remember it for like ever.

1.what add does this come from? " big, is good"

2.how about this- come into _____ _____ in our neighborhood, when you shop at _____ you walk out feeling good woooo"!

Nelson Mandela

For the project when we had to choose a famous person who changed the world in some way I chose Nelson Mandela. I chose him because when he lived in South Africa white people used to have rules against black people saying that they got less rights. He disagreed with that so he stood up for his people and for that, he went to jail for 36 years!!!. Here is a photo of him:

FULL NAME:Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela
WAS BORN: Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918.
WAS EDUCATED AT:University College of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand and qualified in law in 1942.
HIS DAD:His father was Chief Henry Mandela of the Tembu Tribe.
TODAY IS AGE: Today, Nelson Mandela is age 80 turning 81 soon .
Some quotes said by Nelson Mandela:

are always a formidable combination.


After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.


Communists have always played an active role in the fight by colonial countries for their freedom, because the short-term objects of Communism would always correspond with the long-term objects of freedom movements.


Does anybody really think that they didn't get what they had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment?


Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.


For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.


I cannot conceive of Israel withdrawing if Arab states do not recognize Israel, within secure borders.


I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.


I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.


I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of our vast deserts, of our forests, of all our great wildernesses.


I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.


If the United States of America or Britain is having elections, they don't ask for observers from Africa or from Asia. But when we have elections, they want observers.


If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.


If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.


In my country we go to prison first and then become President.

It always seems impossible until it's done.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.


Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement.


Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.


Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will.


Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.


Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.


Only free men can negotiate. Prisoners cannot enter into contracts.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.


There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.


There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.


There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.




There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.

There is nothing like returning to a place that reminds unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.


We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.


When the water starts boiling it is foolish to turn off the heat

Those are some very powerful quotes. Check out this chart I found. It's Very Interesting:

It shows how unfair it used to be in south africa. I hope you enjoyed my post. GoodyBye.

Is There Life On Mars?

Hi. i'm Kitty Milo and i wanted to know "is there life on mars?". many people have been wondering for years and scientists have been searching for evidence and trying to find out if life exists on mars.
Here is some evidence supporting that life does exist on mars:
TheseTiny egg-shaped or tubular features were found in a Mars meteorite ALH84001. These features resemble many bacteria on Earth and were thus interpreted as fossils of ancient Martian life. Most of the fossils are between 20 and 100 nanometers in diameter, smaller than any normal bacteria on Earth. Recent evidence, however, suggests that there do exist on Earth organisms of this size dubbed "nanobacteria". There is still debate as to whether or not Earth nanobacteria have been proven to be life. If nanobacteria are in fact living organisms, the finding of these features in ALH84001 is good evidence for past life on Mars.
!!!! interesting aye???!!!... here is a picture of that mars meteorite:

here is some more evidence:

Carbonate is a type of rock formed from liquid water and carbon dioxide gas. Carbonate can be formed inorganically, without the help of life. But on earth, life often helps in the formation of carbonate. The carbonate found in the Martian meteorite ALH84001 was surrounded by microscopic features interpreted as fossils by the scientists studying the meteorite. Though this finding in itself is inconclusive as to the presence of life, it does indicate that liquid water was once present on Mars. !!!!!interesting. here is a photo of that meteorite:






thats inetersting aye. I wont put on any more complicated writing.
People(e.g-people like scientists and people who try to discover things) also think that matians-




(this is a alien because I couldn't find a marshian)




thought that marshians MUST have helped SOME way to build the pyramids of Giza. it's because the pyramids or Giza are in the same position as orions belt (like i said on my earlier post). pictures incase you have forgotten:









here are some questions about the similarity to these two lines.

he first questions that come to mind in order to demonstrate such possible intention are these:
  1. Did the pyramid builders have a keen interest in the stars? Yes they did.
  2. Do the pyramids have astronomical qualities in their design? Yes they do.
  3. Is there a feature in the pyramids that links them to Orion's belt? Yes there is (the southern shaft from the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid).
  4. Are there contemporary or near-contemporary texts which are associated to pyramids in that region and which speak of a link with Orion? Yes, there are.
  5. Did the ancient Egyptians imagine the pyramids to be 'stars'? Yes (the Zawyat al Aryan pyramid was called 'The Pyramid of Nebka is a star" and the Abu Ruwash pyramid was called "The Pyramid of Djedefre is a Sehed Star". Also the 'soul' (Ba) in ancient Egypt was equated to a 'star', and several pyramids bear 'soul names', such as "The Pyramid of Neferirkare has become a Ba (Soul)" and "The Ba (Soul) of Sahure Gleams".

From the above we must conclude that there is much that suggests a deliberate intention to represent Orion's belt at Giza.

Please tell me what you think, "does life exist on mars. can you show me any websites that have proof??? sorry that this was such a long post. from Kitty Milo=]

do pyrimads excist on mars???

hi. im kitty milo. im very very interested in investigating things and researching and finding information. so i decided to research on mars and the pyrimads on mars. well first of all this is what mars looks like:









yes, it's very cool aye? it's a red planet and is named after the roman god of war. i wont go into facts about mars because then we could be here all day.
what i want to know is- how did the pyramids of giza get where they are, why are they there, who built them, and why are they positioned exactly the same as orion's belt??? if you dont have ANY idea what the pyrimads of giza are then here is a photo:







apparently, according to science and experiments and the internet if you look at the pyramids of giza from the top, they are in the same position as orions belt. if you dont know what orions belt is then it's like a line of stars at night and here is a picture:









!!!!! it's pretty cool. now here is a photo of orion's belt AND the pyrimads of giza next to each other so you can see why people wonder - "why are the pyramids the same position as orion's belt. here is the picture:
















amazing aye??? but maybe it's just a coincidence. i reckon it happened somehow. i'll make another blog post SOON about "life on mars".
