President's Message

Posted by Don Tindale on Nov 10, 2016

President’s Pen 8^th November 2016

Last week’s speaker was Dr. David Sainsbury,

MBBS, University of Adelaide 1978

B.Med.Sc(Hons, NeuroAnatomy), University of Adelaide 1974

Clinical Associate Professor, Acute Care Medicine, University of Adelaide

Fellow, Governor’s Leadership Foundation, 2009

Graduate, Generating Transformative Change, Pacific Integral, 2012

Dr. Sainsbury is a consultant anesthetist who in addition to being expert in looking after the brains of his patients while they are asleep, has adopted a parallel interest in neurological function and disorders and in particular the significance of those changes in brain function which occur with increasing age.

He gave a most entertaining and insightful presentation on this important subject, highlighting the difference between the ‘hard wired’ part of the brain, which manages instinctive behavior versus the analytical part of the brain, which reviews and assesses situations and leads to a deliberate action by individuals. It is usually the latter brain function that is most affected by ageing.

President’s thought for the week “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.” Henry Ford

5. ShelterBox - Mosul City - Iraq

Many displaced families could be forced to seek shelter outside managed camps in a barren and inhospitable landscape at a time of year given to storms and freezing overnight temperatures.

Giving people shelter and essential items such as a solar lamp, blankets and a water carrier will allow them a

degree of dignity and security to rest and recover.’

ShelterBox has recently committed 3,000 lightweight tents for the region, and has a further 3,000 on standby. The first shipment left a few week ago.

ShelterBox is asking its donors to dig deep to provide over £1.75 million more to allow this vital work to continue.

All clubs should consider assisting this cause – now

Contact – Chair – Greg Love – 0412 405 176 or Tim Klar – 0488 966 640 for further information.

What We Learn From the Movies

-- It is always possible to park directly in front of any building you are visiting.

-- A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.

-- If you start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps.

-- Most laptops are powerful enough to override the communication systems of any invading alien civilization.

-- It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts, your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one, dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.

-- After a person suffers a massive blow to the head, they will still be surprisingly good looking.

-- No one involved in a car chase, hijacking, explosion, volcanic eruption or alien invasion will ever go into shock.

-- Partnering police officers with their total opposites will always, eventually, lead to buddy teams who share unbreakable bonds and gruff affection.
