With steam fogging up his See’n’Touch sensors
SCRAP set down the plates down at Table 669. He made his way back to the
kitchen pausing to look at the large Green-Print telling lookers about him. His
eyes drooped in sadness, here all he was used for was practically slavery. He
was the most efficient bot on the planet. He should be treated better!
SCRAP was a robot. His designers, Hexagon
Industry, like to boast that SCRAP was the next years model of robot (20001
instead of 2000) SCRAP stood for Super, Clever, Right, Academic, ‘Person’.
SCRAP’s head is a cube with Hexagon’s
See’n’touch sensors, Vocabulator and Smellinators. The torso was a retangular
prism with Hexagon’s label stamped on the far bottom left. His arms were steel
that split in half for different jobs with claws on the end for fingers. The
legs were also rectangular prism shaped but a lot skinnier and almost 1 meter
in length, halfway down are magnetic joints that imitate a human’s knee joint.
SCRAP looked up at the poster once more and
made his decision...
That night SCRAP sneaked past the sleeping
Grand Hotel’s Security and walked outside for the first time. He looked around,
it wasn’t very tidy. Bits of loose paper blew around obeying a stray wind’s
orders. Smelly gases were sucked into his Smellinators and if he was human he
would have been wheezing. SCRAP wanted to turn back but didn’t. He started down
the musty smelly street.
After weeks of walking SCRAP came to
Koru-koru Mountain Range. It was a very old mountain and was once called Mt.Ruapehu
and it was home the Koru ski team.
The shambled robot went into the hut and
talked to the Administrator and it was agreed that SCRAP was to be helper to
the man in cabin 7. The corridor that led to all the team’s rooms were
decorated with great moments for the team. The man’s name was Rob.
For the next few months SCRAP served Rob,
making Coffee in the morning and Tea when he got back from the Mountain. It was
fun but all good things come with bad and Scrap became tired of the work and
each night he reassured himself.
“At least at home it was warm”
Though one night for the second time that
year and he vanished into the night.
After weeks of walking SCRAP saw home.
And it smelt good!!!

Auckland Marathon 2012
On Sunday the 28th of October over 16,500 people lined up on the start line at Auckland's yearly 42.2 KM Marathon. These people were cheered along by an amazing 45,000 people throughout the course. The race started at 6.10am at Devonport to allow the majority able to cross the Harbour bridge. The temperature rose gradually as the day wore on and by only 9 am it was a massive 20 degrees. This was a disadvantage for 140 people collapsed from dehydration and were treated by St. Johns. The Men's was won by NZ favourite, Rowan Walker in 2hr 24min and Woman's by Alexandra Williams, of Christchurch, in 2hr 41min.

5 Brown Kiwi realeased into wilderness
5 Brown Kiwi have been realeased into the predator free of Motutapu island in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf. One of these Kiwi is little Motutapu is only 11 days old but he is up and running for survival. The company, Kiwi for Kiwis is proud to say that these Kiwi will adjust very quickly. Squirming and wiggling, Motutapu put up a fight as he was released to become one of Auckland's closest wild population of Kiwi. The Department of Conservation spent two decades ridding Motutapu Island of mice, rats, cats, rabbits, possums and wallabies so they can rebuil the population of Kiwi to a quality number.
