Oliver Twist

Summerize this text:

Boys have extreme appetites. 

Oliver Twist and his friends temporarily suffered a 

slow process of starvation, for three months. 

One boy was smart, he complained of being so insatiable for food, 

that if he doesn’t recieve any food at all, 

he was afraid he would suprisingly eat the boy who slept next to him.

Tapping into Coffee Culture

Jo Mohan and Luka Licul have co-founded Spout Alternatives, with Nick Jackson, of Christchurch, to put milk into kegs and reduce the number of plastic milk containers used in cafes.

The trio are preparing to launch their permanent dispensing system, which is similar to the way beer is available on tap in bars.

Spout Alternatives was formed earlier this year after the trio attended youth business accelerator Venture Up, a programme run by Creative HQ, in Wellington.

Ms Mohan, 22, who has a commerce degree, is now a marketing intern at Tuapeka Gold Print. Mr Licul, 18, is in his first-year studying law and commerce at the University of Otago, and Mr Jackson, 23, is a chemical engineer.

They partnered with Dunedin cafe. The Corner Store to pilot the initiative and are now ready to launch to the public.

They have been using Holy Cow milk from Port Chalmers dairy farmer Merrall MacNeille, poured into 10-litre stainless steel kegs.

The kegs are delivered to the cafe and hooked up to a dispensing system already installed.

One keg eliminated five two-litre plastic containers.

The trio are very mission-oriented; when doing their initial market research, they discovered Wellington cafes were using 6000 two-litre containers of milk a day.

That amount of plastic waste is driving the trio to increase the number of cafes taking part in their initiative.

Long-term, they hoped to expand nationwide and "make plastic milk bottles a thing of the past in cafes'', Mr Licul said.

Ms Mohan said they were conscious that, as the business grew, Mr MacNeille's herd of Jersey cows would not necessarily be able to keep up with that demand.

So they were looking at getting other suppliers, even potentially Fonterra, although they did not have the facilities at present to hold a tankerful of milk.

Every small effort counted when it came to reducing the world's plastic problem, Ms Mohan said, and she also liked being able to support local businesses.

Mr MacNeille, who has had a long relationship supplying The Corner Store, was supportive of the initiative.

Currently milking 26 cows, his farm was heading into a quiet period before production ramped up later in the year.

"If it takes over the whole country, I'll be in trouble,'' he said, laughing.

My Experience with the Warriors 070819

My Experience with the Warriors

On a Wednesday afternoon, students as well as myself,
were given a fascinating suprise. This surprise took me by shock,
as I didn't recognize who they were, and why they were here.
I first saw them at lunch, whilst I was playing handball with a couple of friends.
At a point, I did see they had special t-shirts on,
and had loads of things stacked behind them,
but I never really took notice,
and thought they were just helpers of the hockey instructors. My bad.

Immediately after lunch, most students from years 6-8 were selected,
and granted the opportunity of training with the warriors!
The New Zealand Warriors! I was stunned,
yet at the same time, felt embarrassed of the fact,
I didn't recognize players representing our country.
There were three players in total.
Eliesa Katoa, Selestino Ravutaumada and Tohu Harris.
They each so kindly taught us skills which they do,
or have used in a game of rugby.
From my experience, I found it fun, and thought the session was very active.

At the end of our training, three students got prizes,
due to how they reacted and how well they adapted to
new skills. Thank you for your attention.

Hockey 010819

Thursday 01 August 2019
Recap: My class wrote a brief script based on hockey.
In this text, I wrote about why so many people love this specific sport,
as well as what players mainly do during the game.

Have you ever looked at a simple game of hockey,
and pondered about how fast the ball can get from one spot to another? It’s facinating of how quickly the ball moves,
as the players pass from one person, to another.
At times, you can see the laughter the team members share,
as they try block their oppenents from the ball.
For this reason, is why so much fans support this sport.

Hockey is a team sport, where everyone discusses which skills to use,
and how to do specific things. They prepare certain strategies and use
that as an advantage of a way to score another goal. 

Hockey is divided by two main purposes, to  attack, or defend.
The attackers job is to move up,
and efficiently abduct the ball from the other team.
They then try pass it along, as the ball gets closer to the goal,
and shoot for a point. However, a defenders role in the game rather
drops back,
and patiently waits in case of any unexpected causes in the game,
such as the other team stealing the ball.

Like most sports, the team with the most points win.
For me, its all about skill, and technique, but for others it could be
about speed and reflexes.
What techniques would you use in a game of hockey for your team to win?

Painting 150819

Painting

The second I entered the room, vibrate colours filled my eyes. I walked up, and sat on a chair oppisite a clear, white cavas. I wandered what to draw, to design a portrait of someone, or to simply represent a building or thing. On my left was a six packet paint rack, with such a think paint consistency, and bright colours. As I gently picked up my brush, and dipped it deep into a bright maroon. I smoothly drifted the brush across the canvas, and painted freely. Without a clue or doubt, I continued randomly painting, visualizing, on what my odd painting would become.
