    TED ANTALYA MODEL UNITED NATIONS 2017 THE HISTORICAL COMMITTEE CHAIR REPORT LETTER OF THE SECRETARIAT DISTINGUISHED PARTICIPANTS, ESTEEMED MUN DIRECTORS, It is our utmost honor and pleasure to genially invite you to participate in the second TED Antalya Model United Nations Conference which will take place from 27 to 30 April 2017, in Antalya, Turkey. As many of you know, TAMUN'16 was a great success for which we worked very hard and we intend to make TAMUN'17 even better. With participants from all over Turkey, we expect to provide you with more in depth debates, more culturally diverse discussions and an even deeper sense of satisfaction on the outcome. We invite you to enjoy Antalya's hospitality, our conference venue and our school campus along with the energy and motivation of our TAMUN'17 Executive Board. We are eager to make the conference a huge success. Our main aim is to raise awareness among high school students on the tough problems the world faces today and to use diplomacy to shape the solutions. The MUN experience will provide the basis for our Future Leaders, something we as TAMUN want to be a part of. The TAMUN'16’s theme was “The consensus for the new generation”, TAMUN'17’s theme will be “Designing our Future”. Foreseeing where we are headed and the (irreversible) damage we are causing, it is time to take precautions now! We will have five General Assembly committees, an ECOSOC committee, a Historical Committee, and a Security Council. Please bear in mind that only experienced delegates should attend the Historical Committee and the Security Council, since their formats are very different from General Assembly committees and students should be very familiar with the procedures of GA committees first.

    Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army

    Journal of Transformative Innovation Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army Steven E.S. Bussey Abstract While philosophies of innovation shun the past as cumbersome and archaic, history provides a map from which to rediscover ideas and avoid inefficient reinventions. This paper illustrates the value of history by exploring how the founders of The Salvation Army applied design thinking principles to tackle the wicked problem of bringing the gospel to East London in the nineteenth century. Catherine and William Booth’s personalities combined analytical mastery and intuitive originality to craft elegant solutions for this challenge. Utilizing Roger Martin’s Knowledge Funnel, the paper explores the organizational journey of this movement from mystery to heuristic to algorithm. The lessons gleaned from small experiments in East London were vital in refining the strategies to scale the mission worldwide. The Booths designed an organization that was both efficient and agile with constant reinvention built into its structure. Journal of Transformational Innovation, Vol. 3 Iss. 2, Fall 2018, pp. 1-11 © 2018 Regent University School of Business & Leadership Journal of Transformative Innovation Vanguard Tradition: Design Thinking and the Birth of the Salvation Army The Past: Friend or Foe of Innovation? The word “innovation” is often associated with the breaking free from the shackles of tradition to embrace something new and disruptive. In Leading the Revolution, Gary Hamel suggests that “we have developed the capacity to interrupt history - to escape the linear extrapolation of what was. Our heritage is no longer our destiny.” Placing the old guard against the vanguard and incumbency against imagination, this philosophy of innovation tends to be the dominant perspective.

    Evangelical Revivals in New Zealand, and an Outline of Some Basic Principles of Revivals

    EVANGELICAL REVIVALS IN NEW ZEALAND -----//----- A History of Evangelical Revivals in New Zealand, and an Outline of Some Basic Principles of Revivals. -----//----- by Robert Evans and Roy McKenzie. -----//----- Published by the Authors, in conjunction with ColCom Press. PREFACE Many years of experience in the Lord's work, and the relative ease of retirement from parish responsibilities, have provided both of us with the time to carry out a work of love in presenting to the public this history of evangelical revivals in New Zealand. It is an aspect of the work of God which we believe is of enormous importance, both for church and for society, but which has been widely neglected for many years. The research for this book has relied, in the first instance, upon our privately-owned library resources. The main public libraries to which we are indebted are the New South Wales Uniting Church Archives Library and the Camden Library of the United Theological College, both in North Parramatta, the Hewitson Library of the Knox Theological Hall in Dunedin, the John Deane Memorial Library of the Bible College of New Zealand in Auckland (formerly The New Zealand Bible Training Institute), the Moore College Library (Anglican) in Sydney, and the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington. We also acknowledge the help of Miss Ferne Weimer, Director of the Billy Graham Center Library, in Wheaton, Illinois. We have also been indebted to many individuals. Chief amongst these have been the Rev. Dr. J. Graham Miller, now living in Wangaratta, Victoria, Dr. Brett Knowles of Dunedin, and the Rev. John Thomson, now living in Nelson.

  • Apartheid Legislation in South Africa

    Apartheid Legislation in South Africa

    Ralph Glücksmann Apartheid Legislation in South Africa I. Introduction On 31 May 1910 the Union of South Africa was formed as a dominion in the British Empire. It was exactly eight years after the signing of the Treaty of Vereeniging, which had brought the Second Anglo-Boer War to an end and stipulated full British sovereignty over the Boer republics of Transvaal and Orange Free State. Although the South Africa Act 1909 (9 Edw. VII c. 9) was passed by the British Parliament at Westminster, it was wholly constructed by South African representatives in South Africa. Agreement had not been reached without acrimony, and there were times when it seemed that the national convention of representatives of the four colonies Cape, Natal, Transvaal and Orange River might break up among recriminations. Das Kap wurde 1806 britische Kolonie. Davor war das Kap eine niederländische Kolonie, gegründet von der Niederländischen Ostindien-Kompanie (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie), die vom niederländischen Staat Hoheitsrechte erhalten hatte. Als die Niederlande 1795 im Zuge des ersten Koalitionskrieges von Frankreich be- setzt wurden, nutzten die Briten eine Rebellion in der Kapkolonie, um diese unter ihre Herrschaft zu bringen und den Franzosen zuvorzukommen. 1803 zogen sich die Briten nach dem Frieden von Amiens zunächst wieder zu- rück und überließen das Kap der Batavischen Republik als Rechtsnachfolgerin der 1798 aufgelösten Niederlän- dischen Ostindien-Kompanie. Bereits 1806 annektierte Großbritannien nach der Schlacht von Blauberg die Kap- kolonie jedoch endgültig, nachdem die napoleonischen Kriege in Europa wieder aufgeflammt waren. 1815 wur- de die Abtretung an das britische Kolonialreich auf dem Wiener Kongress von den Niederlanden bestätigt, die als Kompensation die früheren Österreichischen Niederlande erhielten.
