that the seminar is conducted to further elaborate to Rotarians the ideas about the contributions made inside Rotary Foundation. The Rotar y Foundation enables Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace. This is done through funding humanitarian activities, from local service projects to global initiatives in terms of but not limited into improvement of health, support of education, and alleviation of poverty. “The Foundation is a vehicle of helping other people in other countries especially to those who are helpless than we are and to make difference in their lives,” she added. One contribution made is the annual giving that is also set to assist less fortunate people in other countries. Balandra also informed that most members do not know that 50% of their annual contributions will come back to them as District Designated Fund, another reason that this seminar is held. This is something that their administration is trying to target, because the district did not enjoy the DDF for the past years. Once acquired, DDF then could be used in foundation activities that the district chooses to support or participate into. The other half of the annual

HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE (Q & A) http://www.chinkeetan.com/ MY HUSBAND DOWNLOADS PHOTOS OF OTHER WOMEN “Hi sir chinkee, I just want to consult something about my husband. Although this problem is petty compared to the other wives out there; My husband is and always loyal to me. But there are some things that I can’t take anymore. He’s always downloading nude photos and pictures of celebrity that he really likes. I know for a fact that he will not cheat on me, but still downloading and watching those kinds of photos and videos gets me off sometimes. For the record, my husband treats me always like a princess. He cooks for me and he is very sweet. But seeing him doing that; hurts me a lot. So I told him that I don’t like what he is doing. But still he continues to download, watch, and even follow sexy celebrities. I don’t know what to do anymore. What do I need to do?” ANSWER: This is my two cents worth of opinion. Everything that happens on the outside is only a manifestation of what is happening in the inside. Your hubby has a deeper problem than downloading nude or sexy photos of women. This is only a result of a deeper problem. This may not be an

issue to him, but being a life coach, we have been trained; if there is smoke, there is fire. It is not normal for a spouse to download photos and feed his eyes with other women. The bible says, “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. Matthew 6:22 Question: What if the eyes are unhealthy; the whole body will live in darkness? I may sound old- fashioned, but it is better to be safe than sorry. I have trained myself and my kids to protect themselves by closing their eyes if they see compromising scenes or images when they watch TV and movies. There is great danger if you expose yourself to unnecessary and unhealthy images. Here are the following things that you can consider doing in order to help your husband: COUNSELLING I really suggest that he needs to go through
immediate counselling in order to get help. He needs an outsider to help him with his blind spot. Believe me, I also have my own share, we all have blind spots. PEER PRESSURE Try to deliberately surround himself with the right company or influence. Peer pressure with the right group of people is good. Keep him around the company with goody people who can influence him to make the right decision and choose the right thing. ACCOUNTABILITY Once he is surrounded with the right people, encourage him to be accountable to a person whom he looks up to. I am so thankful and grateful that I have people around me who I am accountable to. They are the type of people who are not afraid to inform me that I have bad breath. We need people who can speak into our lives. PRAY Pray that he will be open for counselling and

Visual merchandising VISUAL merchandising is the way you arrange the goods in your store to lure in more customers. But for me, visual merchandising is a concept not just limited to boutiques, retail shops, commercial malls and hotel lobbies. For a city to stand out not just in its own country but the whole world, one of the elements it needs is visual merchandising. Dubai has Burj Khalifa. Kuala Lumpur has Petronas. Chicago has Sears. Sydney has the Opera House. We have our own McArthur Hat Monument. But our level of popularity is way way far behind those of other cities mentioned. (In fact, even residents of the city here would nod in surprise, “Do we have such a landmark?”) It
is where marketing comes in. Promoting the city of Cagayan de Oro has been done since past administrations. But even if more shopping centers, condominiums, tourist attractions and a sound business climate are keeping on sprouting up, so do other cities in the country. It must be the job of government and private sectors in con-

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - You’re surrounded by people who are thinking more or less like you are. Things may start to get a little more interesting as you all start to vibrate at the same frequency. Enjoy the results!
CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - Check your bank account before making any impulse purchases today -- things are sure to get weird pretty quickly otherwise. You may find a new way to squeeze extra out of your budget, too! LEO (July 23 – August 22) - You’re feeling the urge to show off a little -- and why not? Things are better than they’ve ever been, and you may find that your energy is too good to be contained anyway. Someone new takes notice!

XU tops international tilt
O
ut of the 24 entries from 14 different countries, Xavier University reaped the
top honors at the Blue Responsibility Awards: Manufacturing for a Sustainable Terra Preta Sani-
tation System during the Puteri Pacific Hotel in Jo12th Global Conference hor Bahru, Malaysia on for Sustainable Manu- September 24. GCSM is an annual facturing (GCSM) at the colloquium designed for students, engineers, scientists and professors across the globe in pursuit of exchanging sustainable ideas to rejuvenate our environment and improve quality of life. The competition’s rationale included two main principles: (1) Sustainability is not only limited to the common concept of the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (3Rs) which most developing countries have applied over the years. (2) Ongoing depletion of the Earth’s natural resources necessitates three more new concepts—Reprocessing, Redesigning, and Remanufacturing. These so-called 6Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Reprocessing, Redesigning, and Remanufacturing) constitute a new environmental protocol in the manufacturing industry. Application of these sustainable concepts served as the major criterion at the Blue Responsibility competition, where the sanitation system design entries must be a reflection of the 6Rs.
XU, through the collaborative work of its two Research and Social Outreach (RSO) units— the School of Medicine’s Sustainable Sanitation (SuSan) Center and the College of Engineering’s Engineering Resource Center (ERC)—submitted the entry dubbed as “Terra Preta Sanitation System for Post-disaster Transitional Communities in the Philippines.” The said entry received the top award among the 7 finalists during the competition. Representing XU and the Philippines during the final presentation were Dr Gina S Itchon of the School of Medicine and SuSan director, and Engr Dexter S Lo, faculty of the College of Engineering and ERC director. XU was considered as “the game changer” of this design competition because its entry was not only manifested through a blueprint and theories but it has been used and proven effective in several evacuation communities after a number of disasters hit the country (Tropical Storm Sendong in 2011, the Bohol Earthquake and Super TyphoonYolanda in
2013). Backed with solid research, community experiences, assessment and remodeling, XU’s entry demonstrated the capacity of a developing country, such as the Philippines, to conceptualize and apply a multidisciplinary and collaborative solution to sanitation issues despite the limited resources. “Finally, we stand here today not just as scientists, but as persons echoing the cry for human dignity,” Engr Lo said in his message. In the field of community development, the ERC director underscored the Ignatian value of magis (beyond what is expected and going beyond excellence) and the theme of the bicentenary of the restoration of the Society of Jesus, “Go, set the world on fire.” “Every time we work in the community, especially with the poor and the powerless, it is our commitment, our mission—to forge a better life for our people, for a sustainable future, and for a truly blue planet!” XAVIER UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE
