We welcomed PDG John back after his recent trip to Gallipoli and Europe. John and Bob C both gave us a little insight into their respective experiences during their trips to the Gallipoli Anzac Day Centenary Celebrations. Both said that it was very rewarding experience to actually be there on the day. One the highlights of their cruise was the very informative talks given by senior military people about the history of the Gallipoli Campaign. City Markets were called off after the adverse weather prediction on Friday night, turned out to be a perfect call. Didn t look to bad early on Saturday morning, later about 12pm on Sunday morning the heavens just opened up, I cannot remember driving in such torrential rain it was horrendous, the amount of water laying on the road was getting dangerous because the drains just couldn t cope. Just to compound the problem even though visibility was down to few metres I still saw people driving without lights on, unbelievable!!!

6 PDG John Iriks and PDG Bob Cooper gave us a brief insight into their recent trip to Gallipoli. Both said how interesting it was to hear from military personnel on board their cruise ship who gave the history of Gallipoli from Australian military history. Below is an extract from the Australian Army website. As fighting on the Western Front in France in late 1914 deteriorated into a stalemate, the British War Council suggested that Germany could best be defeated by attacks on her allies, Austria, Hungary and Turkey. Initially, the attack on Turkey was planned as a naval operation. However, following several abortive attempts to force the Dardanelles in February and March, the British Cabinet agreed that land forces could be used. A combined international force (the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force) was assembled under the command of British General Sir Ian Hamilton, and a threepronged landing was planned to clear the Turkish defenders from the straits. Once the straits were clear, the allied fleet would steam into Constantinople where, it was believed, the threat of the fleet's guns would cause mass panic and force Turkey to surrender. At dawn on 25 April 1915, the ANZACs landed north of Gaba Tepe (the landing area later named Anzac Cove) while the British forces landed at Cape Helles on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The aim of these two landings was to capture the Turkish forts commanding the narrow straits. French forces attacked the Turkish positions on the Asia Minor side of the Dardanelles as a diversion and later landed and took over part of the Helles frontline alongside the British. Later reinforcements included the dismounted Australian and New Zealand Mounted Brigades at Anzac Cove. In August, a new British corps landed at Suvla Bay, to the north of Anzac Cove, in support of an attempt by allies to break out of the Anzac beachhead. The campaign was a heroic but costly failure and by December plans were drawn up to evacuate the entire force from Gallipoli. On 19 and 20 December, the evacuation of Anzac and Suvla was completed with the last British troops leaving Cape Helles by 8 January The entire operation evacuated men with negligible casualties. Australian casualties for the Gallipoli campaign amounted to , comprising of 1007 officers and other ranks. Of these, 362 officers and men were killed in action, died of wounds or succumbed to disease. Nine Victoria Crosses were awarded to soldiers in Australian units. While the campaign is considered a military failure, Gallipoli became a household name in Australia and with it the ANZAC tradition was created. Gallipoli became the common tie forged in adversity that bound the colonies and people of Australia into a nation.

Polio this week 13 th May 2015 Ministers of Health from around the world will meet in Geneva, Switzerland, next week for the annual World Health Assembly. The Ministers will discuss a number of topics related to public health, including polio eradication. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative has prepared a status report for delegates. The report and an accompanying resolution are expected to inform the discussions The latest semi-annual status report has been published and covers the period July to December The report provides an in-depth epidemiological and programmatic update for endemic, re-infected and high-risk countries Liberia and Sierra Leone have conducted polio and measles vaccination campaigns during the first week of May. These are the first campaigns conducted in these countries since 2013 (due to the Ebola outbreak). Polio staff in these countries continue to assist in the Ebola outbreak response

9 The world population (2012) has now reached 7 billion people. This milestone inspired us to conduct research to update our statistics, and the changes over the past 5 years are remarkable. In 2006, only 1 person out of 100 would have had a college education-- today that number has jumped to 7 thanks in part to advances in higher education in Asia. The detailed research and source information can be found here _ and the statistics provided by Donella Meadows in 1990 that originally inspired our project can be viewed 50 would be female 50 would be male 26 would be children There would be 74 adults, 8 of whom would be 65 and older There would be: 60 Asians 15 Africans 14 people from the Americas 11 Europeans 33 Christians 22 Muslims 14 Hindus 7 Buddhists 12 people who practice other religions 12 people who would not be aligned with a religion 12 would speak Chinese 5 would speak Spanish 5 would speak English 3 would speak Arabic 3 would speak Hindi 3 would speak Bengali 3 would speak Portuguese 2 would speak Russian 2 would speak Japanese 62 would speak other languages 83 would be able to read and write; 17 would not 7 would have a college degree 22 would own or share a computer 77 people would have a place to shelter them from the wind and the rain, but 23 would not 1 would be dying of starvation 15 would be undernourished 21 would be overweight 87 would have access to safe drinking water 13 people would have no clean, safe water to drink

10 How to Know You Are Growing Older Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt doesn't work. The gleam in your eye is from the sun hitting your bifocals. You feel like the night before, and you haven't been anywhere. Your little black book contains only names ending in M. D. You get winded playing cards. You know all the answers, but nobody asks you the questions. You need glasses to find your glasses. You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going. Your knees buckle, but your belt won't. Your back goes out more than you do. You sink your teeth in a steak and they stay there. Good health is merely the slowest rate at which one can die. Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars, and a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents??? AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE A gorgeous young redhead goes into the doctor's office and said that her body hurt wherever she touched it. "Impossible!" says the doctor. "Show me." The redhead took her finger, pushed on her left shoulder and screamed, then she pushed her elbow and screamed even more. She pushed her knee and screamed; likewise she pushed her ankle and screamed. Everywhere she touched made her scream. The doctor said, "You're not really a redhead, are you? "Well, no" she said, "I'm actually a blonde." "I thought so," the doctor said. "Your finger is broken."
