Rotary was there at the beginning in BE THE INSPIRATION AND HAVE FUN 1985 and it would be unfortunate if Rotary would not be there at the finishing line. In Michael McGovern, Chair International PolioPlus Irene Committee at Rotary International’s words “we have made too much progress to walk away before we finish, if we don’t complete the job, we set ourselves up for having this disease come right back. Rotary today announced nearly $100 million in grants to support the global effort to end polio, a disease that once paralysed hundreds of thousands of children each year. The announcement comes as Nigeria marks two years of wild poliovirus free following 4 reported cases in 2016. One more polio-free for Nigeria to follow India and be declared Polio Free, leaving “Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.” OUTA SPACE Page 3 TOPIC of the Week duties and the dates for GoToMeeting are highlighted in larger print to ensure that members do not overlook them TOPIC of the Week ROSTER GoToMeeting @ 19h00 AUG to OCTOBER 2018 Please volunteer NOW for a TUESDAY th date after 15 October TH 28 AUG – Bill MAIN – Amateur Radio Please send your TOPIC of the Week to 11TH SEP – Secretary Gerald by at least the THURSDAY 25TH SEP – Francesco Petruccione – preceding the date of your turn. 20th Aug – Derek Kimber √ Quantum Physics etc 9TH OCT – Vasu Gounden – ACCORD – 27th Aug – Angie Goody rd Global Peace 3 Sept – John Fannin RD th 23 OCT – PS RYLC REPORT BACK 10 Sept – Murna van der Merwe 6TH NOV – th 17 Sept – Aadila Sabat 20TH NOV – th 24 Sept – Michael Chen 4TH DEC – st 1 Oct – Amanda Jansen v Rensburg 18TH DEC – 8th Oct – Arlene Arnold 8TH JAN – 15th Oct – Janet Munsamy 22ND JAN – Irene Kotze 22nd Oct – 5TH FEB – Gerald Sieberhagen – World 29th Oct – Rotary Cricket Festival TH 5th Nov – 19 FEB – TH 12th Nov – 5 MAR – th 19 MAR – 19 Nov – ND th 2 APR – 26 Nov – TH rd 16 APR – 3 Dec – TH th 30 APR – 10 Dec – During the week preceding the GTM, the th 7 Jan – login details REMINDER will be emailed to 14th Jan – each member. 21st Jan – If you have any suggestions for a 28th Jan – Guest Speaker at one of our GTM’s 4th Feb – please let President Irene or 11th Feb – Secretary Gerald know. 18th Feb – 25th Feb – 4th Mar – 11th Mar – OUTA SPACE Page 4 DATES TO REMEMBER BIRTHDAYS ANNIVERSARIES AUGUST AUGUST rd th 23 – David Tilling 29 – Rajen & Nareshini Ranganthan th 24 – Jeff Watts SEPTEMBER th 25 – Sue Hawkins 2ND – Arlene and Dave Arnold 25 th – Rae Kirton 25 th – Paul Maistry 25 th – Angela Krugel 28 th – Tina Hon SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAYS cont st 1 - Clementine Phakathi th 12 – Bettie van der Merwe-Bonnet 12th – Tracy Lancaster th 14 – Cyril Phakathi st 21 – John Fannin 21 st – Errol Martin UPCOMING EVENTS 2018 th SATURDAY 18 AUG – END POLIO NOW promotion and Sticker sales at Windermere Centre RESCHEDULED – Date to be confirmed!

OUTA SPACE Page 5 BE THE INSPIRATION Rotary Informatioation from the Rotary Clubb of Boulder This is the Club where Bill Main first joined RotaryRota 4 questions aboutt ...... attracting young peopleople to Rotary With LaShonda Delivuk, Presidentident of the Rotary Club of Lynchburg-Mornorning, Virginia 1. You’re 28 years old and youu joinedjo Rotary when you were 23. Whyhy did you get involved? I live in a city where we really value commommunity service. I heard about service clubs thathat way.w At my Rotary club, we look to the community to let us know whewhere the needs are, so we change our beneficiarieiaries every year. I liked that we were actively involved in meeting thee neneeds of the moment rather than being boxeded in to one thing. I also really liked that there were so many differentnt typest of people in the room that I wouldn’t normormally meet. Our former and current city managers are both in ourr cluclub. I would not ordinarily have an opportunityity tot talk to the city manager, and now they are my friends. There are so many opportunities to be mentored by membmbers of the club, people who are much further along in their journeyseys as CEOs and upper management. My husbandand and I had just started our business, and I have learned so much aboabout entrepreneurship from people in the room. 2. How can Rotary clubss reachreac more young people? I think many people just don’t know abouabout it. I have gotten in the habit of telling my friendsfrie about Rotary and what we are up to. I try to post about it on my personal Facebook wall. Word of mouth is extrextremely powerful; do projects that get you excited so that you naturalurally want to talk about them with your friends.ds. Millennials don’t like to be talked at. They want you to talk with thethem and have a dialogue and perhaps take peoplepeop out for coffee; whether millennial, middle aged or an older personrson. Talking with people is never going to go outt of style. 3. Your club has grown from 40 to 60 members in the pastst fourfou years. What can struggling clubs do differently?diffe We can’t expect a vibrant club when we only invest in it on our meeting day; we haveve tto have Rotary experiences outside of the meeting.

  • The German North Sea Ports' Absorption Into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914
    From Unification to Integration: The German North Sea Ports' absorption into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914 Henning Kuhlmann Submitted for the award of Master of Philosophy in History Cardiff University 2016 Summary This thesis concentrates on the economic integration of three principal German North Sea ports – Emden, Bremen and Hamburg – into the Bismarckian nation- state. Prior to the outbreak of the First World War, Emden, Hamburg and Bremen handled a major share of the German Empire’s total overseas trade. However, at the time of the foundation of the Kaiserreich, the cities’ roles within the Empire and the new German nation-state were not yet fully defined. Initially, Hamburg and Bremen insisted upon their traditional role as independent city-states and remained outside the Empire’s customs union. Emden, meanwhile, had welcomed outright annexation by Prussia in 1866. After centuries of economic stagnation, the city had great difficulties competing with Hamburg and Bremen and was hoping for Prussian support. This thesis examines how it was possible to integrate these port cities on an economic and on an underlying level of civic mentalities and local identities. Existing studies have often overlooked the importance that Bismarck attributed to the cultural or indeed the ideological re-alignment of Hamburg and Bremen. Therefore, this study will look at the way the people of Hamburg and Bremen traditionally defined their (liberal) identity and the way this changed during the 1870s and 1880s. It will also investigate the role of the acquisition of colonies during the process of Hamburg and Bremen’s accession. In Hamburg in particular, the agreement to join the customs union had a significant impact on the merchants’ stance on colonialism.

Miniatur Wunderland Although billed as the world's largest model railway, Hamburg's Miniatur Wunderland is really much more than simply a toy train layout. This stunning new attraction is the world's largest model railway, boasting more than 12,000 meters of track and 890 trains. Freshman Institute 2. The port of Hamburg A highlight of the area is the lovely pedestrian trail that takes in the old 19th- century Warehouse District with its continuous lines of tall brick buildings once used to store tobacco, coffee, dried fruit, and spices. 3. Art Museum of Hamburg In three separate but connected buildings on the Glockengiesserwall, Kunsthalle Hamburg is one of Germany's top art galleries. Highlights include numerous altarpieces, works by local artists of the 14th century, and Dutch masters of the 16th and 17th centuries. Freshman Institute 4.
