Did you know? The Definition of Rotary How would a person describe "Rotary"? There are so many characteristics of a Rotary club as well as the activities of a million Rotarians. There are the features of service, internationality, fellowship, classifications of each vocation, development of goodwill and world understanding, the emphasis of high ethical standards, concern for other people an many more descriptive qualities. In 1976 the Rotary International Board of Directors was interested creating a concise definition of the fundamental aspects of Rotary. The turned to the three men who were then serving on Rotary's Public Relation Committee and requested that a one-sentence definition of Rotary be pre pared. After numerous drafts, the committee presented this definition, which has been used ever since in various Rotary publications: "Rotary is an organization of business and professional person united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world.” Those 31 words are worth remembering when someone asks, "What is a Rotary club?"

"The massive arrival of sargassum on the coasts of the Mexican Caribbean has generated an environmental and socioeconomic crisis. The excess of this seaweed has represented a loss of 11.6% of Quintana Roo’s PIB – around 41 billion Mexican pesos (~2 mld Euro). The Kingdom of the Netherlands has a long tradition in coastal management and marine engineering. With countries in the Kingdom that are being affected by sargassum, such as Curaçao and Sint Maarten, we have developed a strong knowledge foundation. This in combination with impressive innovations for collecting plastics in open water, Mexican stakeholders consider Dutch companies and organizations key players in turning sargassum into an opportunity." via LNV Attaché Netwerk

I like to raise your attention to check out the paragraph posted by Prof Nelson Lam (at University of Melbourne) acknowledging the work of the Australian Earthquake Engineering Society. Nelson's insights resonate with the idea that there is plenty of scope for the two countries (Malaysia and Australia) learning from each other, and sharing knowledge embodied in design guides and CPD courseware. Although the two countries go by different sets of regulations, provisions stipulated by the respective standards should be closely aligned. Feel free to check out and visit our joint-work at www.quakeadvice.org, offering free learning materials and design tools in seismic engineering. #UniMelb #SunwayUni #SET #IEM #SeismicEngineering

Don't Miss The Deepwater Development Conference: Unlocking the Potential of Liberia’s Harper Basin 🌍 The Harper Basin, #offshore Liberia, is one of the most exciting opportunities in global #deepwater exploration—the last undrilled South Atlantic margin basin with prolific deepwater fan/channel play potential. Join James Deckelman, CEO of BluEnergies, at MCEDD 2025 for an exclusive session that dives into: ✅ The untapped potential of Blocks LB-26, LB-30, and LB-31, containing 3–5 billion barrels of recoverable prospective resource potential. ✅ How this region could become a low-cost, high-value growth engine for the global energy industry. ✅ The transformative impact on Liberia and the global energy landscape.

SafeDAO's New Structure Proposal: A Step Towards Improved Grant Strategy and Collaboration via SafeDAO 🚀 SafeDAO's New Proposal: Committees & Councils in OBRA! Amanwithwings and Andre propose a Strategy Steering Committee and a Grants Council to boost SafeDAO's grant strategy. The aim? Reduce voter fatigue and enhance expert involvement. Community vibes are positive! @fin_areta, @Nneoma_StableLab, @corbinpage, and @v3naru are all in, ready to vote on this game-changer. Could this be the key to better funding decisions and collaboration? 🤔

“Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything sink in.” What do the words of an F1 race champion, Sebastien Vettel have to do with Native Title?   Every so often, whatever you do, it’s important to look at what has been achieved, reflect on it and use it for energy to keep going.   Some stats are now in on the Central Desert Group’s work for our Annual Reporting.    The Central Desert Representative Area covers 822,887 km2. You can see a map on our website https://bit.ly/46Hy7E2 As of June 30, 2024 – Native Title had been determined over more than 94% of the Central Desert Rep area. 76% of the Rep Area is Exclusive Possession Native Title. 18% of the Rep Area is Non-exclusive Native Title.   Behind each of these stats will be hundreds and thousands of human voices and stories, histories, and futures waiting to unfold.    Let it sink in.   Now that we have paused, let’s get on with the remaining 6% of the rep area – the remaining chapters of histories to be recognised. What follows are human voices writing the futures to come. #desert #recognition #stories #history #pause #culture #country #Traditionalowners
