Doodle art: A young, grade school student from Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England, used to get into trouble for doodling at school. Joe Whale didn't mean any harm; he just likes to draw. His parents, Greg Whale and Vanessa Jameson, decided to do something positive with their son's skill and enrolled him in an art class. The teacher was amazed at his talent, posting some of his doodling pieces on social media. Soon, a restaurant owner called who wanted him to decorate a wall in the dining room. It's the boy's first commercial work, and his family has high hopes for his future. Sandy landscape: The Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve in the United Arab Emirates is a national park that's home to plants, birds, reptiles, and mammals, including the Arabian oryx, sand cats, hedgehogs, and pygmy shrews. Visitors can book an adventure into the park, which might include going on a trek by camel, quad-bike riding, or sand boarding on the desert's dunes. The reserve is located 60km southeast of Dubai. Since temperatures soar in the summer months, it's best to go between November and March when it's usually around 27° C. Flare for drama: A horse named Jingang, who shares a name with a town in China, has gained fame through social media postings showing his acting abilities. This smart steed has a unique way to avoid giving people rides. He lies down on the ground and refuses to get up until the would-be rider walks away. Not even a carrot or a sugar cube will lure him up! Apparently, Jingang does give people rides, but he plays this trick when he doesn't want to cooperate. Living simply: Daniel Price doesn't need much to live on. Originally from the state of Kentucky in USA, he now lives in the state of Oregon in a hillside dugout in the forest. He considers himself a “minimalist.” Many years ago, he left his job as a photojournalist to try to live as simply as possible. Before making his dugout, he lived in tents, a teepee, a hut and a shed. He has made his dugout comfortable with rugs and furnishings and he even has electricity. He pays only $100 a month in rent to the land's owner, and he has a self-imposed annual budget of $5,000 to pay for all his needs.

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.

On the Lighter Side The great thing about using your mobile in hotel lobbie is you can always get reception. Which month has 28 days? All of them! Restaurant customer: “This egg doesn't look fresh.” Server: “It's so fresh, the hen hasn't even missed it yet.” A psychologist received this postcard from a vacationing patient: “Having a wonderful time. Why?” When you want to use me, you throw me away. When you're done using me, you bring me in. What am I? An anchor.
