s we wind up the Rotary Magazine month
KNN introduces you to alternatives to printed
versions of magazines, bulletins and other publications.
As you are all aware, the printed version of The
Rotarian Magazine is circulated
by post to all subscribed
members. With development
of technology this is slowly
being replaced by a new
channel called Digital
Publishing. By now you
must checked out the list of regional
magazines that KNN listed at the beginning of the
month (also still listed on page 4 of this bulletin). If
you tried to access the Rotary Down Under Magazine
(www.rotarydownunder.org) you realise how it
is different.
Digital publishing can be described as the use of
digital technology in place of written material so
that it can be disseminated and accessed through
computerized electronic devices.
Advantages of Digital Publishing
Displays documents (especially PDs) in form
of a book. Reading is like flipping pages of a
physical book.
Now available as applications on your
phone, tablet e.t.c.
Examples of digital publishing include:
Storify (https://storify.com): lets the user create stories
or timelines using social media.
FlipBoard (https://flipboard.com): a personal magazine
organized into topics to follow the stories and
people.
Our Promise:
KNN is researching and trialing a number of tools
for digital publishing with a strategy to use digital
publishing in the next Rotary Year.

Rotary Aside:
n what appears to be a very damaging report,
I new findings reveal how the World Bank Group,
the powerful development lender committed to ending
poverty, has regularly failed to follow its own
rules for protecting vulnerable populations.
The study, code named “Evicted and Abandoned” ,
was carried out by The International Consortium of
Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) together with more
than 20 newspapers covering 21 countries.
Key Findings
Over the last decade, projects funded by the
World Bank have physically or economically
displaced an estimated 3.4 million people,
forcing them from their homes, taking their
land or damaging their livelihoods.
The World Bank has regularly failed to live
up to its own policies for protecting people
harmed by projects it finances.
The World Bank and its private-sector lending
arm, the International Finance Corp.,
have financed governments and companies
accused of human rights violations such as
rape, murder and torture. In some cases the
lenders have continued to bankroll these borrowers
after evidence of abuses emerged.
Ethiopian authorities diverted millions of
dollars from a World Bank-supported project
to fund a violent campaign of mass evictions,
according to former officials who carried out
the forced resettlement program.
From 2009 to 2013, World Bank Group
lenders pumped $50 billion into projects
graded the highest risk for “irreversible or
unprecedented” social or environmental impacts
— more than twice as much as the previous
five-year span.

FBI admits forensic evidence errors Locate your Lost phone by Google Search
The FBI has admitted "errors" in evidence provided Google has launched an app that helps Android users

phone” into a Google search from any computer.
by its forensics laboratory to US courts to help secure
convictions, including in death penalty cases,
over more than 20 years.
Flawed forensics were used in at least 60 capital
punishment cases. 14 defendants were either executed
or died in prison, says the Washington Post,
which first reported the story at the weekend.

How It Works
Log into the Google account on the computer.
Type “find my phone” into the Google browser
You’ll see a map that will show you approximately
where your phone is.
Click the icon for the phone and the phone will
sound at full volume for up to five minutes.
What if your phone is stolen?
You may need to lock and wipe your phone. In this
case you’ll need to use Android Device Manager.
In your phone’s Google Settings app, there is
an entry for Android Device Manager. Confirm
that the locator feature is enabled and that the
box allowing remote resetting of the phone is
ticked.
Select this to allow you to remotely wipe the
device if you the need.
From there you can see the phone’s location,
ring the phone, lock it or erase it.
there will still be work left over to be done on earth. Our jobs will not keep us company when we are old
and tired, but our family and friends will. It’s good to be focused and driven, but also good to know when
to walk away, take a break - leaving the stress in the office.
We live in a very complicated world of technology, where a family may be in the same room but watching
TV, focused on the smart phone, PDAs and computers. We should realize that it is not the time we spend
in the same room that matters, but the simple things we do together to create memories. It may not take a
lot of money to enjoy those moments. Reading or telling stories to each other, visiting relatives, sharing
coffee or tea together.
If you have family and friends to talk to, you are wealthy! Take off time to enjoy the miracles with them
and you will enjoy your journey to priceless wealth.
