We have barely two (2) months for before the RY 2012-2013 ends but the activities for service to communities continue in high gear! Definitely, more communities do need our continuous support. Last Sunday, April 21, 2013, RCB rendered another MODELS project concentrating on circumcision in Saint Louis Pacdal, Baguio City. This project was coordinated by Rotarian Lily Landayan and the RCB Medical Mission Group. Once again, to our ever reliable doctors, PP Chris Peralta, PP Diony Claridad, Rtn. Joey Bugayong, Rotakid Jen Winter, Rotakid Ham Landayan, the Rotaractors of SLU College of Medicine and Interact Club of SLU High School, Pacdal, thank you so much. Of course, our newest member, Rotarian Milt Camp, came and made his first MODELS participation truly memorable. Our fellow Rotarians came with their families too. Rtn. Lily with spouse Ding and Ham, EIC Marcel with Glyn and Gab, Rtn. Cecille Apostol, PP Bert Talco, PN Marilyn Barredo, Sec. Baby Kaur, Rotarian Lani. As usual, Rotary Ann Maya and I took to the pharmacy. Earlier in the week, President Ric Pama of the University of the Cordilleras, likewise, a then fellow Rotarian, invited RCB to their Centennial Celebration. We had good attendance and we did enjoy the student’s presentation, learning so much about the history of UC and of the life of the late President Benjamin Salvosa, founder of the said University. We enjoyed the afternoon rubbing elbows with the members of the academe, political aspirants in the City of Baguio and college friends. And yes, we loved the food too! For our RCC livelihood project, we have inked a Memorandum of Agreement with the Ferdinand Rosa Bautista Foundation and Abanao Square for the training of the RCC Luding, Taloy and Lucnab Women for their livelihood. The actual training is scheduled for May 25,2013 at the Abanao Square, Baguio City.
Evangeline Maranan Director of Public Relations
Thank you PP Bert Talco, Dir. Cora Ocampo and Rtn. Dhory Vicencio for initiating this worthy project.

Using Facebook, in the subway, on the Chase: Algorithms decide what we know. They determine what we want. And they are getting even more powerful: long have algorithms taken control over our lives. What initially feels like a wacky sci-fi utopia has already become the reality, actually the work of a simple algorithm. An algorithm can prevent a murder? Algorithms draw a large part of our lives today. Developed by physicists and statisticians number codes is the basis for all computer programs in the world. These in turn control countless processes in our everyday lives. And that applies not only to the digital world of Facebook and Google. Of the underground, the subway system, via the control of elevators in office buildings, through to completion of the entire air traffic, control of power plants, or as an aid in the hunt for terrorists - the world as we know it, without algorithms collapses within minutes. “The sheer number of possible subway schedules exceeds the number of atoms on Earth,” the researchers explain
Birthday celebrants posed as they recieved their Birthday Tokens.
PE Uwe Koeller recieved a Certificate of Appreciation after sharing his knowledge and time.

Committee Updates
Fulfilling Mission Benjamin George P. Meamo III
Summer is the season wherein little boys become fully grown men. It is the time where boys usually undergo circumcision.
Kids lining up to finally become men. Brave tough kids are offered free circumcision as project of RCB.
In accordance with the vision of Rotary International: Service above self, The Rotary Club of Baguio sponsored a free circumcision project for boys within Pacdal. April 13, 2013 Interacts of Saint Louis High School of Pacdal, Inc. received a text message from Rtn. Lily Landayan, informing us that there would be a free circumcision mission sponsored by the RCB for boys 8 years of age and above. To be held at SLP canteen. As members of the organization and with the spirit of true service, we, the interacts spread out the news and invited young people from different places of Pacdal. We sent messages to our co-members, posted it on Facebook and asked help from nearby stores and establishments.
The mother and daughter tandem! DGE Linda is assisiting RK Jenny.
April 20, 2013 Day before the activity, Interacts namely Ada Degay, Froilan Padua, Benjamin Meamo III, Rtn. Lily Landayan together with Mrs. Alona Meamo, fixed the venue and arranged tables and chairs to be used. We even went house to house in Barangay Gibraltar to inform people about the mission. April 21, 2013
Thanks to Rtn. Lily Landayan and SLP Interact, this Circumcision drive was a success.
The day of the activity It started at 8 in the morning. Rotarians were there lead by Pres. Libby Fernandez, Interacts from SLP namely John Briones, Gabriel De Guzman, Benjamin Meamo III, Cyprene Sibelius together with the upcoming fourth year Interacts Antonio Anniban Jr., Jerico Cruz and Froilan Padua. We were surprised how the people responded and how many of them participated. Consultants, resident doctors, and Rotaracts performed the circumcision. A total of 69 boys were circumcised. All in all, the free circumcision project of the RCB is
6
a fulfillment on the part of the Interacts, whereas we realized how dedicated we are in helping people and doing these things as a genuine service above self. We are very happy that somehow in our own little ways, we were able to extend our help in the said program. For us, the graduated batch, maybe it is our last chance to fully participate in these kinds of program by the Rotary Club of Baguio but the continuous commitment, service and responsibility will remain In us as members of the organization.

RI NEWS Council on Legislation approves dues increase Rotary News -- 24 April 2013
Representatives at the 2013 Council on Legislation on Wednesday approved a US$1-a-year increase in per capita dues that clubs pay to Rotary International, starting in 2014-15. The increase was proposed by the RI Board of Directors based on a five-year financial forecast presented to the Board last week and shared with delegates on Sunday. According to the forecast, if there were no dues increase, RI’s deficit would grow to $9 million in 2018 and reduce the General Surplus Fund below the level required in the RI Bylaws. With the dues increase, the deficit will fall to $5 million in 2018, according to the forecast, and the surplus fund will then stand at $88 million, above the mandated level. Supporters of the dues increase maintain that it will be sufficient to keep pace with inflation without necessitating cutbacks in service. Dues are the primary source of funding for Rotary’s operations. The Council action raises Rotary clubs’ annual per capita dues paid to RI to $54 in 2014-15, $55 in 201516, and $56 in 2016-17. Dues for 2013-14 are $53, and they have increased $1 a year for the past three years. Delegates from Rotary’s 532 districts are meeting in Chicago 21-26 April to consider 174 proposals submitted by Rotary clubs, districts, and the Board of Directors — for changes to the policies that govern Rotary International and its clubs. The council is held every three years. In other action this week, delegates: Approved a measure Thursday creating the office of vice governor, who would fill in if the governor becomes unable to serve. The vice governor would be selected by the district’s nominating committee from among any of the last five governors, or an otherwise qualified Rotarian if a past governor is not available. Increased the number of clubs that can take part in pilot projects to 1,000, up from the previous limit of 200. The RI Board uses pilot projects, which last for up to six years, to test new ideas, methods, and organizational frameworks for clubs. Pilot clubs that
8
take part in these experiments are fully functioning Rotary clubs that are exempt from some requirements in the Standard Rotary Club Constitution. Approved a measure allowing Rotarians outside the United States and Canada to receive an electronic version of their official Rotary regional magazine, if one is available. Rotarians within the United States and Canada were allowed the option of receiving a digital version of The Rotarian by the 2010 Council. Approved changing the name of Rotary’s Fifth Avenue of Service, currently called New Generations, to Youth Service. The 2010 Council on Legislation approved this avenue of service for youth, which joined Rotary’s Four Avenues of Service (Club, Vocational, Community, and International). The name New Generations was meant to reflect the need to build up the next generation of Rotarians, but proponents of the name change argued on Wednesday that the word “youth” is more universally understood, both inside and outside Rotary, and clarifies the fact that these programs encourage Rotarians to empower youth. Approved allowing a district to have an unlimited number of e-clubs, removing a previous restriction of two e-clubs per district. E-clubs meet electronically, conduct service projects, and sometimes also hold inperson meetings. Approved a measure, aimed at increasing membership, that provides for satellite clubs, whose members meet at a different time and location from their parent club but who are also considered members of the parent club. Approved a measure allowing participation in club projects to count toward club attendance requirements. The measure amends the Standard Rotary Club Constitution to provide that a member must attend or make up at least 50 percent of club regular meetings or engage in club projects for at least 12 hours in each half of the year, or a combination of both. Removed the travel reimbursement policy from the RI Bylaws. This will enable the RI Board of Directors to develop a policy that is flexible, able to address emergency travel situations, and able to take advantage of cost-saving opportunities. Defeated two measures that would have allowed clubs to meet less frequently. The delegates also rejected a measure that would have allowed a club to cancel six regular meetings a year instead of four, for holidays, the death of a club member, disasters, or other emergencies.

the DFG Research Center Matheon in Berlin. Digital or real - our modern life is unmanageable for humans without algorithms. “We are totally dependent on algorithms; the whole world is full of them. They dominate almost “modern life, says Prof. Martin, professor of mathematics at the Technical University Berlin and Vice Chairman of the Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum. On the site of the National Security Agency (NSA) in Maryland, specifically said the most powerful of the 16 US intelligence agencies. The task of the programmers: the continuous monitoring of global communication. Every day the NSA systems save 1.7 billion emails, phone calls, Tweets and posts. And these figures will be exceeded soon. In the new data center in Bluffdale (Utah) the NSA rearms itself with Exaflop consoles and Yottabyte servers. Almost every person who once came with data technology in contact, will be recorded here - and that all only by the use of algorithms. Rtn.Cecile gave her response and she mentioned, “I don’t need Google, my wife knows everything good”, lastly she mentioned that algorithm make good things in our lives like crime detection before it happens, she thanked our speaker. Everyone stood up to sing our finale song the Pilipinas Kong Mahal, and President Libby officially adjourned the meeting.
