--Author anonymous for the note below:
For weeks I have heard people saying “ I just can’t wait for things to be back to normal.” I have even said this more than a few times myself. But as I’ve thought about our current situation, I have realized how much I don’t want things to go back to the way they were. Here are a few thoughts:
1. I hope that the next time a friend grabs me and pulls me in for a hug, I actually take the time to appreciate the gift of their embrace.
2. I hope that when school resumes and you are dropping your kids off, you take the time to thank the staff for the amazing gift that they give to your family.
3. I hope that the next time I’m sitting in a crowded restaurant I take the time to look around at the smiling faces, loud voices and be more appreciative for the gift of community.
4. I hope that when I am at the grocery store that I take a moment to acknowledge the necessities of life and the amazing people who work so hard to keep us supplied.
5. I hope that I never again take for granted the ability to hop in the car and visit a friend, go to the mall, go to a movie, etc.
So, truth is, I don’t want things to return to the way they once were. I hope that we take the lessons and challenges of the past 2 years and create a new normal. My goal is to appreciate more, love harder, and truly appreciate the daily abundance of blessings that were so easily overlooked just a mere few months ago. If someone tells you they love you, take it to heart!

Ode to Living on Earth. Enjoyed the Youth Adventure canoe trip where aboriginal wisdom was shared about land and water with non-aboriginal youth.
-- Lynne Ternosky, Rotary Club of D6330 Passport
May 6. Planet Earth – the best quote: “There is enough to go around, if we all share a little bit!”
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
An Ode to Living on Earth was one of the loveliest and most moving TED Talks. It really spoke to me!
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
May 8. All sorts of great stuff in the meeting this week. The video in DG Jim's talk on Youth Service with the Westlock Interact club rebuilding the local rink is a great example of what can be achieved by youth working together. And wouldn't it be great to participate in the Rotary Club of Peterborough-Kawartha's "Adventure in Understanding" 6-day cultural canoe experience!
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
An Ode to Living Earth. I really enjoyed your setup of different texts and video formats for an e-meeting. Jim Kenyon´s background information was even new to me. I really liked what I saw.
Thank you for the tradition of a make-up visit, even when this was really just to get new ideas for our new club types we are building in Germany right now. Actually, this is my seventh day of Rotary meetings this week as Assistant Governor, and Zoom makes so many things possible, even late night sit-ins with not only your own club friends, but around the world.
I hope to see you next year in Houston, all well and with new ideas, and filled with the spirit of Rotary. I hope to visit a live meeting in the future.
-- Moritz v. Eckardstein, Rotary Club of Bad Salzuflen, District 1900, Germany

Mobile phones and simple text messaging may be the keys to victory in the world’s largest public health initiative: the eradication of polio.
As the disease retreats from the global stage, thriving in only a few remote areas in three countries, it’s up to health workers to deliver vaccines and share information with speed and accuracy.
Health workers in Pakistan are receiving cellphone and e-monitoring training at the Rotary Resource Center in Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Rotary and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative are strengthening the lines of communication by giving cellphones to health workers in Pakistan and Nigeria, where a single text message could save a life.

Disease results in misery, pain, and poverty for millions of people worldwide. That’s why treating and preventing disease is so important to us. We lead efforts both large and small. We set up temporary clinics, blood donation centers, and training facilities in underserved communities struggling with outbreaks and health care access. We design and build infrastructure that allows doctors, patients, and governments to work together.
Our members combat diseases like malaria, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and polio. Prevention is important, which is why we also focus on health education and bringing people routine hearing, vision, and dental care.
Food for thought
It was the early 1900s, and the driver of this particular car was Thomas Edison. While electric cars weren't a novelty in the neighborhood, most of them relied on heavy and cumbersome lead-acid batteries. Edison had outfitted his car with a new type of battery that he hoped would soon be powering vehicles throughout the country: a nickel-iron battery. Building on the work of the Swedish inventor Ernst Waldemar Jungner, who first patented a nickel-iron battery in 1899, Edison sought to refine the battery for use in automobiles.
Edison claimed the nickel-iron battery was incredibly resilient, and could be charged twice as fast as lead-acid batteries. He even had a deal in place with Ford Motors to produce this purportedly more efficient electric vehicle.
But the nickel-iron battery did have some kinks to work out. It was larger than the more widely used lead-acid batteries, and more expensive. Also, when it was being charged, it would release hydrogen, which was considered a nuisance and could be dangerous.
