It is my first time being Secretary. I have been asked to keep a log of volunteer hours for every project. I got told there is a way to log our club's activities into MyRotary.

I have been looking all over the site and cannot find how to log my club's hours and projects.

Could someone please give me an idiot's guide to logging hours please.

I am working on a report. The top two levels are connecting well

1. Chapter title

1.1 Section Title

1.2 next section title

2. the second chapter.

2.1 more section

but then the problems begin. If I wanted to put in a third level section, one would expect it to be 2.1.1, instead it just shows as 1. I adjusted it to third level, and it came up as 1.1.1, despite being after 2.1. How does one explain to word that this should be a third level connected to the previous?

Update: I found a work around. Thank you for all of your advice

Circle Backet with the Australian Finals System

Key:

• Round of 24 games with 2 characters:
  • Number indicates rank in group. Letter indicates which group they are from.
  • For example, 1A = 1st in Group A
• Round of 16 onwards with 4 characters:
  • W = winner of
  • L = loser of.
  • For example. W122 = Winner of match 122, which was 2A vs 3B
  • L130 G/H = Loser of match 130, which was 1G vs 1H

Concept:

• Eight groups of six teams.
• Top 3 teams advance to the knockout phase.
• The group winners get two advantages.
  • Group Winners get a second chance if they lose their Round of 24 game.
  • Both Group Winners get a faster path to the final. The winner of 1st vs 1st game goes straight to the quarter final. The loser to the Round of 12.
• 2nd vs 3rd is a standard bracket, meeting the loser of the 1st vs 1st in the Round of 12.

Benefits:

• Teams that work hard in the group stage get rewarded and have a second chance.
• The earliest that a team can meet another team from their own group is the Semi Final.
• With 6 teams in the groups, there will be some top end clashes in the group stage.
• The last game will have something as the top end are fighting for the top spot over 2nd and 3rd. The bottom half are fighting to get 3rd. Even if a team is mathematically eliminated, they will be up against another who is still fighting to maintain or gain a spot.
• Top end clash at the first round of the knockout.

I am Australian. During the World Cup every morning we would put on the game while we had breakfast and got ready for the day. Each morning I would ask my kids which team to cheer for (red team, blue team, yellow team, ect). I would also tell them a bit about each country. My issue is that I'd go too deep into detail and only limited facts got through.

Switzerland: they are the red team make chocolate and clocks. They have a big train tunnel. That is all that my 4 year old got.

A couple days later Morocco was playing. "Red team! They make chocolate!"... no mate, that is the other red team. We had Moroccan chicken a couple nights earlier. The issue is that my son then thought all chickens come from Morocco. I'm trying to explain to him things that are uniquely Moroccan, and not North African or generic.

If you had to explain to a 4 year old in Australia Morocco in a few words, what would you say?

Names of Stadiums

For context, I am an Australian who has a very basic understanding of Morocco. I do not claim to be an expert on culture or languages, hence why I am requesting the assistance of you fine people.

I like to do fantasy schedules for football tournaments. I am currently engaged in a discussion on the virtues of an 8 group of 6 World Cup, and the Australian finals system. To make this work cleanly, I need 24 stadiums (hence a couple of extra stadiums that are not going to be used in the real 2030 world cup). I am creating a series of posters with all the games scheduled, and a draw of the countries I think will qualify. I will post the finalised poster later. For all games, I am including the names of the stadiums in the local Latin script (Castilian, Portuguese, Catalan, Galician, Basque, French), Arabic, and Berber.

1. If you see the names of your stadiums in a Latin script, would you prefer it in English, French, or something else? For example, I have Stade as opposed to Stadium. Would you prefer to see Stade de Marrakech or Marrakesh Stadium? Also the names of cities, hence the two spellings of Marrakesh. Fez is another one that is different in English and French.
2. I do not speak Arabic, but one of my colleagues said it looked okay. I just want to confirm if it is correct or not.
3. The Berber translation is Google Translate later tested in AI. Is it even accurate?
4. Would Moroccans prefer Arabic then Berber or Berber then Arabic?

Below is a sample of the Finals. The Australian finals system has a second chance aspect to it:

• Round of 24
  • Qualifying Final: Group winners vs group winners. Winner goes straight to the quarter final. The loser goes to the round of 12.
  • Elimination finals: 2nd in group vs 3rd in group. Winner to Round of 16. Loser goes home.
• Round of 16
  • Winners of Elimination finals play off, sudden death
• Round of 12:
  • Winners of Round of 16 host the loser of Qualifying finals
• Quarter Finals
  • Winner of Qualifying Finals host the winner of Round of 12
• Semi Final, Bronze, and Finals are as per normal.
• Teams are separated from the other teams from the group stage up until the Semi Final.
• During the group stage, teams are fighting for the top of group as to guarantee a second chance and a shorter path to the final. Teams lower down are fighting for the 2nd and 3rd spots.

At the Men's FIFA World Cup, the flags of the nations playing are laid on the pitch before the game. Why was the flag of Iran on the pitch instead of being raised like Saudi Arabia?

The flag of Saudi Arabia features the declaration of faith, the Shahada; "There is no god but Allah. Muhammad is the messenger of God." Due to this inclusion, the flag of Saudi Arabia is never at half mast. During the Saudi Arabian games, both flags were held in the air (not on the pitch).

The flag of Iran features the takbīr, Allāhu ʾAkbar, or God is the greatest, 11 times in each row (between the green and white band, and between the white and red band).

Consisting the religious significance of the takbīr, why would it be acceptable to have the flag of Iran on the pitch as opposed to being lifted in the air like the Saudi Arabian flag was?

I am not fan of the head-to-head ranking rule as it kills excitement in the last game. I am going to use group D as an example. After two games we have the following:

2026 FIFA World Cup - Group D after 2 games

Due to the head-to-head taking precedence over goal difference, this group is already mostly determined. As things stand, there is nothing Australia could do to overtake America as if Australia wins against Paraguay and the Americans lose to Türkiye, they are both on 6 points. So the Americans will top the group regardless. Similarly Paraguay has already beaten Türkiye, so if Türkiye wins and Paraguay loses, they will both be on 3 points. So Türkiye is out regardless.

Knowing this, the last game doesn't matter to the Americans or the Turks. Türkiye could smash the Americans 31-0 and still lose the group. So why should either team put in a solid effort?

Australia and Paraguay are playing to get the security of second, but as both teams have 3 points, third and going through is likely regardless. The Australians have no incentive to win hard other than security. If Australia draws, they are guaranteed second regardless of what happens in the other game. So why should they put in a solid effort? If it is a draw, then Paraguay are pretty safe in third place getting through with 4 points. So why should either team put in and effort?

What I am expecting, something similar to West Germany vs Austria in 1982, also known as Anschluss or Disgrace of Gijón. This was when both teams spent 80 of the 90 minutes just passing the ball between each other with no attempt to attack as a 1-0 victory got both West Germany and Austria out of the group stage. The commentators walked out at half time. I assume the Americans will just rest their starting 11 and let the reserves get some caps. The reserves will not risk anything as they don't want discipline points deductions, and honestly why should they care? The Turks are already defeated; they might put in an effort for dignity's sake, but there is no reason to risk injury. The Australians will park the bus hoping for a draw. They might be inspired to counter, but there is not much point. The Paraguayans will just not want to lose, so if it is a nil all draw, then all is well.

Now if goal difference was a factor over head-to-head. Then things get interesting.

If Australia beats Paraguay, and America loses to Türkiye, then it goes to goal difference on who tops the group AND who comes third. Türkiye could make up their difference and overtake Paraguay, and by doing so dilutes the Americans. This would mean that with both games taking place simultaneously, the rankings of the group would shift dramatically all through the game.

I have been led to believe that the system of milk lids was universal.

Dark Blue - full cream

Pink - skim

Light blue - something else? Low fat?

There are also red, purple, and yellow lids.

Today I went in to find the full cream now has white lids. I am worried that the system is about to collapse. I feel very uneasy about this. What next plain salt chips in a red packet?

Does anyone know what is going on? Are they introducing a new system?

At the south end of Dixon Street, as the gates, there was a clown who would hula-hoop and pose for photos for $5. I honestly thought he was how horror films start. I haven't seen him in at least a couple of years. I tried looking online to see what happened to him. Does anyone know what happened to him?

I am having a problem with masteries.

I am working my way through each civilisation completing their masteries. At the end of most games the first screen to pop up will say what achievements I completed and XP scores. Instead, I am getting something along the lines of Sorry, we are having issues with the server, we will get back to you at a later date...

Then I go to the mastery menu and it says that I haven't achieved the achievement. It is very odd. The other oddity is that lately the little menu in the bottom right of the home screen with daily challenges hasn't been there for a little while.

Does anyone know what is going on? Is this a me problem or a wider issue?

Also, does anyone know what those red numbers next to the various masteries are?
