Te Anga

Te Anga is a rural community in the Waitomo District and Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island.[1]

Marokopa River runs through the area. The river is not safe to swim in due to high rates of E. coli,[2] but farmers have put in plans to reduce water pollution.[3]

The area transitioned from sheep farming to more intensive dairy farming at the turn of the century.[3]

The local landscape consists of limestones, calcareous mudstones and sandstones, with small areas of basal conglomerates and coal measures.[4]

Education

Piri Piri School is a co-educational state primary school,[5] with a roll of 14 as of March 2020.[6][7]

gollark: Go(lang) = bad.
gollark: ``` [...] MIPS is short for Millions of Instructions Per Second. It is a measure for the computation speed of a processor. Like most such measures, it is more often abused than used properly (it is very difficult to justly compare MIPS for different kinds of computers). BogoMips are Linus's own invention. The linux kernel version 0.99.11 (dated 11 July 1993) needed a timing loop (the time is too short and/or needs to be too exact for a non-busy-loop method of waiting), which must be calibrated to the processor speed of the machine. Hence, the kernel measures at boot time how fast a certain kind of busy loop runs on a computer. "Bogo" comes from "bogus", i.e, something which is a fake. Hence, the BogoMips value gives some indication of the processor speed, but it is way too unscientific to be called anything but BogoMips. The reasons (there are two) it is printed during boot-up is that a) it is slightly useful for debugging and for checking that the computer[’]s caches and turbo button work, and b) Linus loves to chuckle when he sees confused people on the news. [...]```I was wondering what BogoMIPS was, and wikipedia had this.

gollark: I think it's a server thing.
gollark: My slightly newer SomethingOrOther 5000 does too.
