Why don’t oil and water mix?
Why don’t oil and water mix?
Have you ever done the dishes, hit the pan and pots, started washing
them and noticed the oil from the pans or the fat on the roasting dish just
dancing on top of the water thth the bubbles like they are on dancing with the
stars or something? They dance and dance, but what the never actually do is
mix. Why is that?
them and noticed the oil from the pans or the fat on the roasting dish just
dancing on top of the water thth the bubbles like they are on dancing with the
stars or something? They dance and dance, but what the never actually do is
mix. Why is that?
Here let me give the scientific fancy low down first:
“The oil along float to the top because it’s less dense than water, oil and water
don’t mix that to molecules are more attracted to each other than to molecules
.detergent molecule are attracted to both oil and water. Molecules of water are
strongly attracted to each other because they are poor”.
don’t mix that to molecules are more attracted to each other than to molecules
.detergent molecule are attracted to both oil and water. Molecules of water are
strongly attracted to each other because they are poor”.
So for all of you that just went “Huh?” at what I just said let me break it down
for you:
for you:
- Oil is lighter than water
- When the pan reach the water, the oil melts the oil in the pan
- the oil melts into the water because water is heavier than oil, the oil then
- stays on the water having a good old dance while you doing the dishes
Hmm is this what it was like for jesus when he walked on water? Is this
why we use different oils in church? Does this mean that if I have those’s
oils on me I will walk on water like jesus did? I have so many questions to
ask that I need answers to.

why do stars twinkle?
Why do stars twinkle?
Have you ever seen a spy-fi movie. And felt like you were lost in
space. With all the twinkling stars, the milky way the planets &
much more wonderful things. do you imagine about what it would
be like to live on another planet or if aliens are real? Have you ever
wondered to yourself is there a planet out there better than
Earth is a planet more spectacular?

It’s so easy to let your imagination run wild. T
o let it just take control of your body when you look up at the stars.
Do you ever wonder how far away the stars really are?
Did you ever think that the reason why the stars twinkle is because
there’s another life force trying to contract us Earthlings?

When you look for other planets and you see stars or

to think that it’s another planet trying to communicate with the

tricks on you and the stars aren't actually twinkling.

We’ll don’t worry because it’s not your eyes just playing tricks.
The stars do look like their twinkling but blame the Earth
for that or rather the atmosphere. The reasons to why scientists
said the stars twinkle is because of the astronomical scintillation.

Earth’s atmosphere is quiet turbulent at times.
As it reaches right into the sky. It varies in density and temperature.
To be able to see the stars the light from the distant stars must pass
through Earth’s ever changing atmosphere.

seconds later it's no where near where it was before

Ngati Kahu
Ngati kahu
ORIGINS
In 1990 a hui-a-Iwi was called to set up a body to be the Iwi authority for Ngati Kahu.
This body was to be a runanga and care had to be taken to ensure that it was set up
according to traditional Runanga criteria
and not government
legislative requirements. McCully Matiu played a pivotal role in the setting up of Te
Runanga-a-Iwi o Ngati Kahu.

Runanga-a-Iwi o Ngati Kahu.
PURPOSE
The Runanga would take responsibility for all government related matters such
as the claims against the Crown (involving both fisheries and land), social welfare
programmes, training and employment programmes, conservation and resource
management matters, health programmes, housing programmes, economic development
programmes and so on. The hui-a-Iwi passed a resolution to set up Te Runanga-a-Iwi o
Ngati Kahu with representation from every marae and hapu throughout Ngati Kahu. While it's
original constitution was drawn up using criteria laid down according to Ngati Kahu tikanga,
the runanga was eventually registered under the Charitable Trust Act.

Te Rarawa
Te Rarawa
Te Rarawa share’s a 6,000 year history of traversing the vast southern Pacific oceans. Te Rarawa ancestry flows from it’s tupuna & Tawhaki, toi, kiwa whose lineages can be traced from numerous pacific locations to living Te Rarawa communities of today. Perhaps the most important icon of Te Rarawa prehistory is Māui who is credited with discovering Te Ika a Māui giving rise to the very first name of our region Te Hiku o Te Ika a Māui, The Tail of the Fish of Māui. Te Rarawa genealogy descends from Māui and the Māui attributes are throughout our culture and cultural institutions. Māui, who was born of people but raised by the divine elements, ended an era that we barely understand today by losing a battle with death that cannot now be won.
Kupe the explorer ancestor introduces the next period of history. Kupe is a well remembered and understood ancestor of all Māori people and with one of his wives, Kuramarotini, renamed Te Ika ā Māui, as Aotearoa. Kupe initiated the first rites of manawhenua in Aotearoa. This was achieved by the discovery, installation of tapu and the naming of numerous locations throughout Te Hiku o Te Ika and Aotearoa. Kupe and his descendants brought with them an ancient model of Polynesian social organisation contained in sacred Whare Wānanga and based on values derived from common Polynesian understandings. After circumnavigating Aotearoa and part of Te Waka ā Māui (the South Island), Kupe returned to the North to finally depart Aotearoa after about fifteen years. The naming of Te Hokianga Nui ā Kupe (Hokianga Harbour) commemorates this event and cements the first chapter of Te Rarawa history in Aotearoa between 650 and 950 AD.
at Motukaraka on the Hokianga Harbour represents the hapū of Ngāi Tūpoto and Ngāti Here. It also has close associations with Ngāpuhi. Hapū interests in land include Tapuwae, Motukaraka, Pūrakau, Tautehere, Manganuiowae, Taraire, Te Karae, Pikipāria and Tauteihiihi.

I think that Fortnite is a bad game because…..
Over 7 million people play Fortnite at a time. I think Fortnite is a bad game because one you don’t you who your talking to behind the screen so you could be talking to anyone anywhere. Secondly people spend hours just sitting in front of a screen. Thirdly people work to pay for stuff they don’t need. Fourthly people rage for nothing an example is this boy lost the game and he and another player were the only ones left and he threw something into a glass door or window. finally it can ruin peoples relationships. so in conclusion I think Fortnite is a bad game.
Ngait Kuri
Ngati kuri
What does the tribe name Ngati Kuri mean?
Kuri means dog.
“A traditional account explains why this tribe was named Kuri which means dog. Many generations ago these people besieged a strongly fortified pa. Unable to take the pa b direct assault,they constructed a whale from dog skin and hid beneath it on the beach. Bone, blubber and meat were surprised and heavily defeated. Traditions variously place this event at Manga Piko in Kapowairua Bay, Whangatauatea near Ahipara or at Waitaha, between Herekino and Whanape.
A different account tells of a feast of dogs on Motu,Whangaikari Island in Parengarenga harbour, for the funeral of the chief Ihutara.”
Who is the rangatira of the Ngati Kuri tribe?
Ngati Kuri are descended from the original inhabitant,the founding peoples of the northernmost Peninsula of Aotearoa, in Te Hiku o Te Ika. these people known also as Te Iwi o Te Ngati were already occupying Te Hiku o Te Ika before the arrival of the many migratory waka from polynesia their ancestor was Ruatamore. Ngati Kuri also trace their Whakapapa to the Kurahaupo waka which first made landfall in Ngati Kuri rohe at Rangitahua, the kermadec Islands.
The ngati Kuri ancestors of ancient times laid the foundation for Nga Uri, their descendants as expressed in the following whakatauki.Ko takoto ke nga korero a nga matua mo te whenua . the foundation of manawhenua was set by the ancestors of ancient times.
These ancestral linkages affirm Ngati Kuri as tangata whenua.
Where does Ngati Kuri tribe cover?
The mana and the rangatiratanga of Ngati Kuri extends over all the whenua and the adjacent moana. The Ngati Kuri rohe is generally described as north of a line from manga tohoroha ( mt carmel ) in the east to Hukatere in the west and extending north -west to motuapao, across to Te Rerenga wairua and then east to murimotu and including islands of manawatawhi ( the three kings) and rangaitahua (the keremadecs)
Why did Ngati kuri change there name from theri original tribe name Ngati Awa?
They changed their tribal name from Ngati Awa to Ngati Kuri because they wanted to remember how they sacrificed their dogs to save them
