New Zealand Rotarians responding to Christchurch earthquake
By Joseph Derr Rotary International News -- 25 February 2011


Rotarians in New Zealand are doing what they can to assist victims
of the devastating earthquake 22 February in Christchurch,
where more than 100 people have been killed and at least 200 are still missing.
As efforts move from search-and-rescue to recovery,
responses from Rotarians offering assistance have been pouring in.
Authorities are requesting that donations in kind
or noncash items not be sent to Christchurch, as the government, local agencies,
and NGOs have sufficient emergency and second phase supplies
for the ongoing needs of the community.
Rotary New Zealand World Community Service,
a group of Rotarians dedicated to international service projects in New Zealand
and the South Pacific, has set up an earthquake appeal fund.
Learn more.
“New Zealand is a small country and everyone knows someone in Christchurch,
so this is truly a national disaster," said Past RI President William B. Boyd,
a native of New Zealand.
“I know that the six districts [there] will work together to rebuild the spirit of the city.
Best wishes from Rotarians from around the world
have reminded us once again that we are a family
and that in difficult times, families come together."
The incoming Rotary Foundation trustee-chair added:
"The Rotary Foundation has an important place in the family of Rotary,
and our Foundation will play its part as Christchurch rebuilds.”
According to a press release on the Rotary Zone 7B
(New Zealand and Pacific Islands) website,
Rotarians are offering to host traumatized residents
so that they can get away to rest before trying to rebuild their lives.
The effort is being coordinated within Rotary and through welfare agencies.
"We are OK but very stirred and shaken.
Aftershocks are still continuing," assistant Rotary coordinator Ross Skinner
wrote in a post on the site.
"We have power and water (it seems) but no waste water or flushing of toilets."
Leanne Jaggs, past governor for District 9920 who lives in Auckland,
posted on Tuesday that she was in Christchurch on business when the earthquake hit.
"I was just about to jump out of my rental car for a meeting,
when it felt like the car was moving," she wrote.
"Our hope is that everyone we know is safe."

Passing of PDG Tom Cook -
we have been saddened to learn that on 18th February 2011
PDG Tom Cook, Charter President of our Club,
passed away peacefully at Royal Perth Hospital.
The family has asked for no visitors for the time being.
A later message from Tom and Jo Cook’s daughter Gerry advises us
that following Tom’s wishes they will not be having a public funeral,
and that a small family celebration of his life will be held privately.

Military Computer
World War III.
The US has succeeded in building a computer able to solve
any strategic or tactical problem.
Military leaders are assembled in front of the new machine
and instructed to feed a difficult tactical problem into it.
They describe a hypothetical situation to the computer
and then ask the pivotal question:
ATTACK OR RETREAT?
The computer hums away for an hour
and then comes up with the answer:
YES
.The generals look at each other, somewhat stupefied.
Finally one of them submits a second request to the computer:
YES WHAT?
Instantly the computer responded:
YES SIR.
----
Military Talk
One reason the Services have trouble operating jointly
is that they don't speak the same language.
For example, if you told Navy personnel to "secure a building,"
they would turn off the lights and lock the doors.
Army personnel would occupy the building so no one could enter.
Marines would assault the building, capture it, and
defend it with suppressive fire and close combat.
The Air Force, on the other hand,
would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy.

  16. Today, I went to the beach front with my children.
    I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear
    and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    in the deleted (empty) place.
    Whether I make use of tab, area,
    or ctrl tab, the cursor goes to the following label placement.

    Yet not on top line, to start with a name.
    Why is that? What's the solution? Exactly what am I doing wrong? I took into consideration merely making one more label layout. That seems a lot of operate vs a basic upgrade.
