Deep dive: Belize, on the east coast of Central America, is home to some of the best diving in the world. One reason for that is the existence of the Great Blue Hole located off the country's coast in the Caribbean Sea. Surrounded by coral reefs, the circular Great Blue Hole is an underwater sinkhole that attracts many species of marine life. It measures 300m across and is 125m deep. Divers can reach the Great Blue Hole by a more than two-hour boat ride from Belize City. Boats also can be rented on Ambergris Caye which is closer.

Money giver: Charities in the city of Braunschweig in Germany are amazed and grateful for an anonymous donor who has been providing cash to help them do their good deeds. The donor sends a bag of euros to a newspaper office with instructions to give the money to a certain charity. One such “miracle bag” contained 100,000 to be given to a local hospice. For over eight years, bags of money, some containing over 200,000, have intermittently appeared, with the mystery giver identifying soup kitchens, churches, and other worthy causes as recipients.

Turf tradition: For centuries, the traditional home used by the people of Iceland was the turf house. These houses had roofs and thick walls made of a top layer of sod with grass growing out of it. People used turf because trees were not as available for building material. Turf also has good insulating qualities against the winter cold. In the early 1900s, many people still lived in turf houses, but now few remain. However, some have been preserved and maintained by the National Museum of Iceland, allowing visitors to view these traditional abodes. Peaceful people: A street in Vienna in Austria is a monument to peace. The winding, dead-end street is called Blutgasse and is one of the oldest in the city. On the street is Peace Museum Vienna which has a mission to educate visitors toward achieving world peace. The museum is free for anyone who wants to visit the exhibits or attend a discussion. One of the displays, called Windows for Peace, is intriguing. In the museum's street-facing windows are images of peace heroes such as Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Bertha von Suttner, author of the novel Lay Down Your Arms.

MANUREWA RSA NOTICE We SOLD the property (land & buildings) in May 2018. The Manurewa RSA is still a full member of Clubs NZ and RNZRSA. We have used the proceeds of the sale to secure the future of WELFARE for the members and service/ex-service personnel and their whanau. We are an 'RSA without Borders'. We will continue to assist all those who approach us for remembrance and comradeship (welfare). We WILL NOT be going back into the Bar/Restaurant or Gambling business. Our focus is on support services as per the RNZRSA motto 'People helping People'. We have started a Drop In centre for members in the Freyberg Lounge. The door will be open and there will be members here. Mondays / Wednesdays / Fridays 10 am to 3 pm for tea, coffee and a chat. Membership is open to anyone who wishes to belong to an RSA and its values. The subscription costs are low to reflect that we do not have the other revenue streams. The cost is just to cover the capitation we pay to other entities and also a little administration (cards/compliance etc). We welcome applications for membership but if you choose not to belong to us that does not stop our commitment to helping veterans with their entitlements. We have support service advisors on hand to assist with any queries about Veterans Affairs, ACC or entitlements attributable to service. Read our January Newsletter which is published on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Manurewa-RSA-1469137590053064 Due to the recent Manurewa RSA rule changes, we are however asking all existing members to refill in a membership form so that we might maintain the accuracy of our contact database. Looking forward to meeting all our existing and potentially new members.

Did you know? Using names: Anthropologist Jane Goodall studied chimpanzees for 45 years in Tanzania. Rather than numbering the primates she was studying, she named them instead. Some names she chose were David Greybeard, Flint, and Goliath. Extinct pigeon: Passenger pigeons became extinct about 100 years ago. These pigeons, native to North America, were able to fly very fast, attaining speeds of up to 97 km an hour.

Museum founder: Francisco Moreno of Argentina was a famous naturalist and geographer in the 1800s. He founded the La Plata Museum of Natural History in Argentina in 1888, which is an important museum today. Hot stuff: The datil pepper is a small, hot pepper grown near St. Augustine in Florida USA, where there's even an annual Datil Pepper Festival. It is used to make hot sauces, mustards, infused vinegars and jellies. Big but gentle: Whale sharks, which are docile giants that live in tropical oceans, are the largest living fish. Their life span is about 70 years, but they have been known to live to be 100.
On the Lighter Side Many tourists come to NZ for the Lord of the Rings. On average they come for two weeks, which is just long enough to watch the director’s cut of The Hobbit. What question can you never answer “Yes” to? “What does 'N-O' spell?” Why was the math book sad? Because it had so many problems. Patient: “I'm terribly nervous, doctor. This is my first operation.” Doctor: “I know what you mean. It's mine, too.” What is easy to get into, but hard to get out of? Trouble.
