Te Reo Rata and Totara


SUMMARY: Rata was told to go cut down the mighty totara and carve a waka out of it. Rata went out the next morning and cut it down with his axe. That night the birds and insects put the tree back together. He went out again the next day to be shocked that the tree was back standing up again. By the end of the day he had started to carving out his waka it became night time and he stuck around hiding in the bushes then the creatures came out and he grabbed the piwakawaka and demanded why they kept putting the totora back up. They said because you haven't asked for permission so he asked and the birds of the forests call tanemahuta he was allowed to so the birds said come back tomorrow and it will be carved so the birds set to work. The next morning he came to a beautiful carved waka.

Moral:  
Tiakina nga manu, ka ora te ngahere. ka ora te ngahere, ka ora te manu.
Look after the birds and the forest flourishes. If the forest flourishes, the birds flourish

If you want to get trees from the forest you need to get permission from the birds and tane mahuta.

What can mcdonald's do to your body

What can Mcdonald's do to your body?
What A Big Mac can do to your body?

It makes the heart beat faster which causes high blood pressure and then can cause bad things to your body.

Why eat Mcdonald's when you can eat something healthy

BIG MAC
Fast food is incredibly convenient, and usually very tasty too, but it's not always the best option for refuelling our bodies. Over at comparison site, Fast Food Menu Price, there's a detailed infographic that shows the effect of eating one of the most iconic on-the-go meals of all time: the McDonald's Big Mac.
For the first 10 minutes, everything goes brilliantly, at least on the surface. Our brains have been wired to prefer high-calorie foods (sorry, dieters) and the Big Mac provides these calories in abundance - an average Big Mac contains 540 calories, which cause our blood sugar level to shoot up. Feel-good chemicals, like the neurotransmitter dopamine, are released into the brain, and you may catch yourself thinking: "This is a tasty burger."
It's from the 20-30 minute point that the downhill slide starts. The high levels of fructose corn syrup and sodium inside the bun leave us craving more of the same(and in the long term, this can lead to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease). Then the sodium - some 970 milligrams of it - causes dehydration and starts making the kidneys and heart work faster. Blood pressure rises, and you may well be tempted by a McFlurry or apple pie.
According to the infographic, at the 40 minute mark, the body will probably still be craving similar types of food: losing control of your blood sugar levels makes junk food (like a chocolate bar) seem even more appealing than it normally would. The gastrointestinal tract very quickly absorbs the high volume of fructose corn syrup we mentioned earlier, further adding to your hunger pangs.
From 50-60 minutes, the period of slow digestion starts in earnest. Food typically takes 24-72 hours to digest, but the grease and trans fat inside a Big Mac means the digestion time for the McDonald's signature burger can easily go beyond three days. "If you want to enjoy a Big Mac, try to keep it an occasional event," is the advice from Fast Food Menu Price. "The ingredients can cause serious harm to your body, especially when consuming them on a regular basis."
The infographic has been put together using data from McDonald's own website as well as articles from LiveStrong, Blood Pressure UK, and FoodMatters. McDonald's itself doesn't recommend living solely on a diet of Big Mac and fries - treat them as an occasional treat rather than a regular meal and you'll be fine (in fact, in small doses they can actually be good for you). At least now you know exactly what you're letting your body in for.
