Farmyard inspiration: A young woman who grew up on a farm in Northern Ireland is enjoying newfound celebrity for her fashion design. To create her clothing, Rachel Irwin uses material that most people would throw out. For example, old mats, holiday wreaths, and bird feathers wind up in her designs. She's even used fertilizer bags and the fluff from a cow's tail, all of which are cleaned and sterilized by her mom. She named one of her designs “Farmyard Fashion.” Irwin has won prizes for her work and is looking forward to a career in the fashion industry.

Tree tuggers: A group of friends who like to run took part in the Cape Town marathon in South Africa, but they were doing more than just running. The group ran the race with tree saplings tied to their backs. Their purpose was to raise awareness about the country's problem with invasive species, which are taking over indigenous plants. One of the runners, Siyabulela Sokomani, ran with a wild olive sapling and he sports tattoos of his favourite trees. He and his fellow runners support the nationwide effort to plant trees and rid the country of the damaging species.

Trivia
Don’t know where to next in your career, relationships or life?
Art of Abundance
High design: A city high in the mountains of Bolivia is getting a facelift. El Alto, close to the administrative city of La Paz, is enjoying attention because of the building designs of architect Freddy Mamani. He calls his style New Andean architecture. His modern buildings, called cholets, are usually several storeys high with shops at street level, party and gallery space in the next levels, and living space on the top floor. The designs combine vibrant colours and geometric shapes reminiscent of indigenous textile patterns. For Mamani, the architecture of his buildings is a way of promoting his culture's pre-Columbian roots.

Protective dog: A stray dog named Serenity has become a celebrity in the town of Chatham in Ontario, Canada. The pooch was found by a passerby who stopped to see why she was sitting in a ditch in the cold. Serenity turned out to be protecting five tiny kittens. The passerby called a pet shelter, and the dog and kittens were taken in. Serenity continued to care for the kittens until they were placed in a foster home. Shelter staff intend to place Serenity for adoption and many families expressed interest after they heard the heart-warming story of Serenity and her parental instincts.

GUARANTEED! FREE QUOTES - No job too big or small 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.

OLD TOYS WANTED
Major award: The Order of the Companions of Honour is a British award given to people who have contributed in a major way and over a long period of time to the arts, science, medicine, or government. Recipients include Stephen Hawking and Desmond Tutu. Allergic reaction: Most people who come into contact with poison ivy will get an itchy rash called “allergic contact dermatitis” because they're allergic to the plant's oil. A small number of people aren't allergic to the oil and don't get a rash. Sleeping horse: If a horse wants to take a quick nap, it will doze while standing up. If it wants to get a good sleep, it lies down. Horses need about two or three hours of deep sleep per day, usually taken at different intervals. Famous park: Yellowstone National Park is located in the USA states of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. In 1872 it became the first national park in the country. More than orange: Not all pumpkin varieties are orange. The decorative jarrahdale has skin with a blue-green hue, while peanut pumpkins have lumpy, light orange skin and sweet flesh.
On the Lighter Side There are three apples on a table, and you take away two of them. How many apples do you have now? Two, of course! I went to buy some camouflage clothing, but I couldn't find it. How many pessimists does it take to change a lightbulb? mind. Nobody would get the joke anyway.
