Mommy's boy: Some people will go to great lengths to help their parents in a time of need. In Brazil, a man named Heitor Schiave took it one step too far: he dressed up as his mother so he could take her driver's test on her behalf. His mother hadn't had much luck herself, having failed three times. So Schiave put on women's clothing and a wig, wore lots of makeup, and tried to talk in his mother's voice. However, the disguise did not fool Aline Mendonca, the examiner, who realised that the woman taking the test did not look like the woman pictured on her identification. Schiave was arrested for fraud. New wave furniture: Gavin Munro is a maker of furniture - but he doesn't use carpentry tools to do it. Instead, he trains the trees on his farm to grow into the form of chairs, tables, and other pieces. The result is very artistic. Located near Derby in England, his farm has oak, willow, ash and sycamore trees. When the trees are just saplings he uses molds to make them grow a certain way. To attain his final product he also prunes and grafts the trees' branches. It takes a long time for a piece of furniture to be made in this fashion – between four and eight years. Stolen goods: A woman in St. Paul, Minnesota USA, was miffed when she discovered that a package she ordered had been stolen from her porch. Hilary Smith received a text saying that the package which contained a phone charger had been delivered, so she expected to find it upon arriving home from work. In its place was a handwritten note thanking her for leaving the package on her porch so it could be stolen. The thief signed the note, “The new owner of your package.” Police in the area are warning residents to have parcels delivered when someone is home to receive them. Beautiful harvest: Some farmers in Bangladesh work in an environment of great beauty - at least during the time of harvest. These farmers collect water lily blossoms in the Canal of Water Lilies in the country's Barisal district. They paddle their long wooden boats through a sea of green leaves and deep pink water lily flowers, collecting the blossoms as they go. Collection is done carefully and by hand. These blossoms are a popular item at local markets, where the farmers go to sell their floral gems.

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.

Lucky numbers this week: This week's odds favour Sagittarius winners with the luckiest number being 7.
Did you know? Gone south: The first man to make it to the South Pole was Norwegian Roald Amundsen (1872-1928). A team of men, dogs, and dogsleds journeyed from their base camp in Antarctica, reaching the pole just under two months. Pick a pear: Anjou pears are mild-flavoured and soft, making them easy to eat. Abate pears are good to eat with cheese because they are fragrant and crisp.

Expensive painting: A 1941 Pablo Picasso painting from his “Weeping Woman” series sold for $9.1 million at an auction house in Canada, in 2019. The painting of photographer Dora Maar is called Femme au chapeau. Writer and pilot: Many people are aware of British author Roald Dahl's many famous children's books, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Witches. But they may not know that he was a fighter pilot in World War II.
On the Lighter Side Why is “abbreviation” such a long word? Can you name three consecutive days without using the words “Wednesday,” “Friday,” or “Sunday”? Yesterday, today, and tomorrow. What do you call a boomerang that doesn't work? A stick. Customer: “These melons are $1.50. Did you raise them yourself?” Farmer: “Yes. Yesterday they were $1.25.” Why did the dinosaur cross the road? Because chickens weren't around yet.
