Electronic Signature: when can it be used and when not?
Paulina Silva and Elías Mohor
The pandemic revealed a great need to perform acts and contracts remotely, avoiding having to meet to sign the instruments or appear before a notary. This increased doubts about the regulation of electronic signatures, especially to understand under what circumstances it can be used and when it cannot.
In this article we briefly explain: (i) how the electronic signature is regulated in Chile; (ii) what acts can and cannot be celebrated through it; (iii) the bill that seeks to expand the number of acts that can be celebrated with an electronic signature and (iv) proposals for changes to the project to extend the usefulness of the electronic signature.
REGULATION OF THE ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE IN CHILE
The electronic signature is regulated by Law No. 19,799 on electronic documents, electronic signature and certification services for said signature (" LFE "), and its Regulations. [1]
1.1. Principle of equivalence between electronic and paper documents. As a general rule, the acts and contracts signed by means of electronic signature are valid in the same way and produce the same effects as those signed in writing and on paper. For all legal purposes, these acts and contracts will be considered as written and their signature will be regarded as a handwritten signature, whatever its nature.
1.2. Types of electronic signature. The LFE recognizes two types of signatures, the simple electronic signature (" FES ") and the advanced electronic signature (" FEA ").
(i) Simple electronic signature . A simple electronic signature constitutes " any kind of sound, symbol or electronic process that allows the recipient of an electronic document [2] to identify, at least formally, its author ". [3]
Therefore, they can be a FES: the incorporation of a person's name at the end of an email or even the mere act of sending that email from their personal mailbox; the scanned image of a handwritten signature embedded at the end of an electronic document; a biometric medium (eg fingerprint); the marking of a checkbox in an electronic form; or other electronic processes that allow the identification, at least formal, of the author of an electronic document. A mechanism that is not compatible with the concept of an electronic document could not be considered a simple electronic signature.
By virtue of the principle of equivalence of the medium, a contract signed by FES will have the same legal value as a contract signed with a handwritten signature.
(II) Advanced electronic signature . An advanced electronic signature is that signature « certified by an accredited provider and that has been created using means that the holder maintains under his exclusive control, so that it is linked only to himself and to the data to which he refers, allowing subsequent detection of any modification, verifying the identity of the holder and preventing him from ignoring the integrity of the document and its authorship ". [4]
The Undersecretariat of Economy and Smaller Companies, through the Accrediting Entity, is in charge of accrediting the providers of the advanced electronic signature certification service and keeping the updated registry of those. [5]
1.3 Restrictions on the use of electronic signature. The general rule is that the simple and advanced electronic signature can be used interchangeably to celebrate all kinds of acts and contracts, except the following:
a) FES cannot be used when the law expressly requires the use of FEA, for example:
i) Public instruments in electronic format must bear the FEA of the official who issues them: an authorized electronic copy of a public deed must have the FEA of the notary who authorizes it; A certificate from the Civil Registry must have the FEA of the official who issues it, etc.
ii) The court order issued in an electronic document must be signed with the FEA of the principal.
iii) The forms for the constitution, modification, dissolution or annotations of companies in the Companies and Society Registry must be signed with the FEA of the constituents, partners or shareholders; or with the FEA of the notary who authorizes the act if they do not have their own FEA.
b) Electronic signature (FES or FEA) cannot be used when the LFE or other laws prevent the use of electronic signature:
i) When the law requires a solemnity that cannot be fulfilled by electronic document
ii) When the law requires the personal concurrence of any of the parties
iii) In acts and contracts related to family law
PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE ABOVE RULES
2.1 Acts that require a public deed cannot be executed with an electronic signature
The acts for which the law requires the solemnity of a public deed (for example, the sale of real estate or easements [6] or the constitution of mortgages [7] ) cannot be executed by electronic signature, neither FEA nor FES, since This solemnity is not capable of being fulfilled by electronic document, as it is deduced from articles 403 et seq. of the COT.
According to those regulations, the execution of a public deed requires: (i) the personal concurrence of the parties before the notary (art. 405) and (ii) the fulfillment of a series of formalities that are incompatible with the notion of signature and document electronic [8] .
Articles 4 and 5 number 2 of the LFE usually generate confusion in this matter: Article 4 provides that " electronic documents that have the quality of public instrument, must be signed by means of an advanced electronic signature ." Due to its concise wording, this provision could lead to the erroneous idea that a public instrument – such as a public deed – could be generated directly by the contracting parties if they celebrate it using their advanced electronic signature. But that conclusion is not correct.
To understand the true meaning of this rule we must bear in mind the definition of "public instrument" in art. 1699 of the Civil Code:
«Public or authentic instrument is the one authorized with the legal solemnities by the competent official .
Issued before a notary public and incorporated into a protocol or public record, it is called a public deed.
As can be seen, the public instrument is always authorized by "the competent official", which in the case of the public deed is the notary. As much as individuals sign their private documents with an advanced electronic signature, they will not be able to give it the quality of a public instrument, since that can only be done by the official who has the legal powers to authorize it (for example, the Civil Registry and Conservators of Real Estate are invested with the powers to issue certain certificates in the sphere of their powers; notaries can authorize copies of public deeds, etc.). The meaning of this rule, then, is that those officials are forced to use FEA to authorize this type of instrument.
Article 5 number 2 of the LFE could also lead to some confusion, since it recognizes private instruments signed with FEA the same probative value as public instruments. This rule does not make both instruments equivalent in terms of their legal value, since the probative value in court is not the same as the absolute legal value of a document. To exemplify: the statements about facts that are contained in a private instrument for the sale of property signed with FEA may have the same probative force as if they had been formulated in a public deed, but that does not mean that that private instrument will be accepted by the Real Estate Curator to carry out the tradition of the property,
A very recent case illustrates this very well. In consideration of the state of catastrophe that affects our country, on April 7 of this year the 11th Civil Court of Santiago, in case C-6045-2018, resolved to sign a public deed of adjudication at auction using an advanced electronic signature and then forward it. digitally to the relevant notary's office. However, when the registration of that document was required in the Santiago Real Estate Custodian, it refused to practice it, warning that the instrument in question would not be a true public deed.
Faced with this refusal, the interested party asked the court to order the Conservator to practice the registration anyway. Based on articles 3 and 4 of the LFE, which we have already analyzed, on April 30, 2020, the 11th Civil Court of Santiago ordered the Real Estate Curator to register the adjudication instrument signed with the FEA . In response, on May 11, 2020, the Conservator informed the court of the grounds for its decision , explaining that the instrument in question could not be registered because it was not a true public deed:
«So when confronted with the provisions relating to the public deed contained in articles 403, 405, 426 N ° 5 and 401 N ° 7 of the Organic Code of Courts and in articles 1699 and 1770 of the Civil Code with the document accompanied to register dated April 8 from the notary office of Valeria Ronchera, it is possible to conclude that it is not a public deed as a public or authentic instrument that meets the requirements of the aforementioned articles, but that it is an electronic document whose original is in a repository for its verification and the tenor and expressions used in its writing appears to be a public deed without being so .
Resolving this controversy, on June 23, 2020, the plenary session of the Court of Appeals of Santiago ordered that the adjudication instrument be annulled , requiring the court to execute the adjudication by a true public deed (" the Judge of the Eleventh Civil Court is instructed of Santiago to order the necessary actions so that an instrument is granted for this purpose in a material form»). Additionally, and evidencing a clear concern with what happened, the full Court ordered all civil courts in Santiago to report on the way in which they are proceeding with the public auctions and issued its decision to the Supreme Court and to all those involved in the controversy. (the court, the notary who authorized the instrument and the Santiago Real Estate Curator).
2.2 The acts that must be granted by private instrument signed before a notary admit the use of electronic signature, but appearing before it
The acts or contracts that the law requires to sign by private instrument granted before a notary will not produce their effects if they are only signed by electronic signature, for the same reasons that we have given in the case of public deeds.
However, unlike the case of public deeds, for this type of acts the use of electronic signature is not totally prohibited and is possible under the following circumstances: if the parties concur to sign the electronic document in the presence of the notary, who in turn, it certifies the granting of the document using its own advanced electronic signature.
This possibility would be recognized in the fourth and eighth agreements of the Agreed Order on the use of documents and electronic signatures by notaries, conservators and judicial archivists that the Supreme Court adopted in 2006:
«Fourth: Holders of electronic signatures, within the scope of their functions and competence, may electronically issue, through the use of advanced electronic signature, all the documents that the law allows , especially authorized copies of public and private instruments, notarized documents, certifications of digital signatures stamped in their presence , protests and verifications of facts and certifications referring to records and actions.
Eighth: In the cases in which the Notary authorizes a digital signature stamped in his presence , he must attest to having been credited with the identity of the signer in the terms established in the Organic Code of Courts ».
The practical utility of this modality is very low, since it is still necessary to appear before the notary, so that the most important advantage of the electronic signature is not taken advantage of, which is the possibility of entering into a contract remotely.
Some examples of acts and contracts that the law requires to be granted before a notary are the transfer of copyright [9] , the constitution of a pledge without displacement [10] or the constitution of a non-profit corporation or foundation [11] .
2.3 The possibility and usefulness of subscribing promissory notes electronically raises controversy
The possibility of subscribing a promissory note electronically faces two difficulties:
i) Can a promissory note be signed by electronic signature? Part of the doctrine holds that the legal nature of the promissory note is intrinsically related to its uniqueness and materiality: the promissory note would be a physical document, and not an abstract obligation that can subsist intellectually regardless of the support on which it appears. For this position, the electronic promissory note would be nothing more than a private instrument in which a debt is recognized, but it would not properly be a promissory note, to which its own norms can be applied (law 18,092).
Against this position it has been argued that the existence of an electronic promissory note would be possible by virtue of the principle of equivalence between supports enshrined in the LFE, and that being this later and more specific law, it should prevail over the classic and previous doctrinal notions in The matter.
ii) In order for the promissory note to have executive merit, the participation of a notary is also required, either for the protest process or at the time of its execution. Even overcoming the previous doctrinal debate, there remains another drawback for the electronic promissory note: for a promissory note to enjoy executive merit – which is one of its main attractions – the protest procedure regulated in article 60 and following must be carried out. of law 18,092, which implies the intervention of a notary or an official of the Civil Registry; or (ii) have been signed before a notary [12], either by handwritten or electronic signature, as explained in section 2.2. As can be seen, both demands involve the intervention of a notary, either to authorize the document or to make the protest, which makes the practical usefulness of an electronic promissory note much less than intended.
Due to these considerations, in 2012 the Executive presented a bill ( bulletin 8466-07 ) to modify the norms related to the promissory note – which we refer to later – expressly recognizing the possibility that it be signed by advanced electronic signature and sealed of time, and granting executive merit in such circumstance.
2.4 Examples of acts and contracts that can be entered into by electronic signature
i) Simple mandate. There have been divided positions in doctrine and jurisprudence on the need for the mandate to comply with the same solemnities that the law requires for the commissioned act [13] . This debate becomes relevant in determining whether or not a mandate can be concluded electronically. If the thesis is accepted that the solemnity of the mandate must be the same as that of the commissioned act, a mandate for the celebration of acts that, for example, require a public deed, could not be celebrated by electronic signature.
ii) Authorization or license contracts for works protected under copyright or industrial privileges.
iii) Acceptance of terms and conditions of use on an electronic commerce site.
iv) Assignments of industrial property rights.
v) Authorizations for the processing of personal data.
vi) Various commercial agreements, such as distribution contracts, franchises, etc. (to the extent that they do not contain acts that cannot be executed by electronic signature, such as the sale of property, for example).
vii) Confidentiality contracts.
viii) Subscription of minutes of Board meetings (see NCG 434/2020 of the Commission for the Financial Market ).
THE PROJECT TO REFORM THE ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE LAW
As we have shown, there are still several impediments to adopting the massive use of electronic signatures. There are acts and contracts that must necessarily be signed by public deed and others that, being able to be signed by electronic signature, require that signature be made in the presence of a notary, thereby losing the usefulness of electronic means.
With the purpose of eliminating some of these impediments and promoting the massification of the use of electronic signatures, in 2012 the Executive presented a bill ( bulletin 8466-07 ) that today is in the third constitutional process, and that intends to introduce a set of improvements to the LFE and other standards, among which we will highlight three:
i) The concept of "time stamping" is introduced, which is defined as the " assignment by electronic means of the date and time in which an electronic document is signed with the intervention of an accredited provider of certification services, who gives an account of the accuracy and completeness of the document's time stamp ". This concept is then required to supplement the work of the notary in the granting of certain acts.
ii) It establishes the possibility that the use of FEA and time stamp supplants the legal requirement to authorize an act before a notary: «In all those cases in which the legal system requires that the signatures of the grantors of a certain legal act must be authorized before a notary, either as a solemnity of the act or as a requirement to make it enforceable before third parties or for any other legal effect, said requirement or solemnity shall be understood as fulfilled by the sole fact that the act is recorded in an electronic document signed by the grantor or the parties, as appropriate, with an advanced electronic signature and time stamping ". [14]
iii) Law No. 18,092 is amended, expressly establishing that the bill of exchange and the promissory note may be issued in an electronic document and signed with FEA and time-stamped, and that they will enjoy executive merit in such circumstance. It is also specified that the protest of these documents may be made by electronic document, in which case the official who carries out the diligence must sign it with FEA and time stamping.
These modifications constitute a great contribution to overcome some of the obstacles that the electronic signature faces today and that have been felt so much in these times of pandemic that they demand the possibility of celebrating acts and contracts remotely. However, the project leaves a great pending issue: to introduce facilities so that acts and contracts that require the solemnity of a public deed can also be carried out remotely.
In effect, the possibility of satisfying this solemnity by means of FEA and time stamping was expressly forbidden in the project, through the following rule: " The provisions of the fourth paragraph [15] shall not apply to public deeds . "
We understand that the acts that require the solemnity of a public deed are very important and that it would be imprudent or reckless to allow them to take place without making an exhaustive verification of the identity of the contracting parties, as allowed by the appearance before a notary. However, we believe that the legislator could find formulas to reconcile the solemnity of these acts, with the urgent social need to facilitate their remote celebration.
A possible formula could be to modify the rules of the Organic Code of Courts in order to allow public deeds to also be granted remotely, requiring that the celebrant appear before the notary through some technological tool (for example, through videoconference) to verbally ratify their will to celebrate the event, and sign the electronic document at that precise moment, using their advanced electronic signature and time stamping. As an additional safeguard, technical and organizational security measures associated with the use of the tool by the parties and notaries could be required; and create strict storage obligations for notaries (eg, keep a recording of the video appearance).
Current legislation does not allow the electronic signature to be used for the celebration of all kinds of acts and contracts, considering that the electronic signature, especially in its simple form, can easily allow identity theft. In this context, it is understandable that the legislator wants to protect certain acts by requiring the parties to appear personally.
However, the use of technological means and the need to carry out an appropriate verification of the identity of the contracting parties are not exclusive aspects. The pandemic that is hitting us today has made clear how urgent it is to modernize our legislation to design creative formulas that allow us to celebrate the most solemn acts by remote means, but with robust contracting authentication mechanisms.

Saturday was another banner day for the Predators.
And Roman Josi was the model.
The team unveiled its 2020 Winter Classic sweater design via a 60-foot-by-80-foot banner featuring Josi on the side of a building across the street from Bridgestone Arena a couple of hours before the Predators' 2-1 loss to the Rangers.

The sweater is a nod to the Nashville Dixie Flyers, the city's first minor-league team that played from 1962 until folding in 1971. The Flyers, part of the Eastern Hockey League, played their home games at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium and won two league titles (1966, 1967).
The words "Nashville Predators" are stacked in a navy blue script font set inside a gold block on the front of the sweaters.
Team president and CEO Sean Henry said the Predators would wear the sweaters in at least two other games this season, in addition to the Winter Classic on Jan. 1 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

"My favorite quote is from Matt Duchene," Henry said. "He said, 'That is the best jersey I've ever seen, I've ever touched, I've ever worn.' That's a pretty big compliment from a guy who has worn a few and been around hockey his entire life."
Henry said the intention was to tie in the history of the Flyers and the traditions of college football and the Cotton Bowl. Because neither the Predators nor the Stars have been around for very long, the idea of relying on franchise tradition wasn't an option.
The Predators began play in the 1998-99 season, while the Stars moved to Dallas from Minnesota for the 1993-94 season.
Viktor Arvidsson called the sweaters "sick" and Filip Forsberg also gave his approval.
"It looks good. It's cool that the throwback was on the Jumbotron," Forsberg said. "The Predators have been around for 20-something years, but hockey goes back further, so it is cool that they brought that up."
Henry said the sweaters have the feel of a 1950s varsity jacket.
The interior of the collars on the sweaters will feature the date of the game and a guitar fingerboard in homage to the city's music history.
A navy, saber-toothed tiger head, colored gold and white, will be featured on one shoulder.
"We weren't around in the '50s. The Stars weren't around in the '50s," Henry said. "The idea was, how do we take our great game and have fun with our logo?"
Henry said he would have preferred the sweaters to be "gold on gold on gold," but because the Predators are the visiting team, white had to be the primary color.
When asked about a Winter Classic possibly coming to Nashville, Henry cited the success of the 2016 All-Star Game and the 2017 Stanley Cup Final as reasons to believe it could.
"The two events were bigger and better than anyone's ever done those events before," Henry said. "It became really easy for the NHL to say, 'Let's put us in a Winter Classic.'
"Being the away team in the Winter Classic is really humbling because you need to find a fanbase that will travel. Nobody has ever, as an away team, bought as many tickets for a Winter Classic as our fans did. I think it's going to be easy to say, 'OK, what's the next great event for us to host in our city.' We'll see what that is and when that will be."

Words No One Wants to Hear From God
UCG.org / World News and Prophecy / Words No One Wants to Hear From God
Posted on Apr 2, 2003 by Cecil Maranville Estimated reading time: 11 minutes
As in so many wars in the past, combatants, their families and fellow citizens in the present and soon-to-be wars call on God for help. They sincerely expect that a divine being blesses, even orders their efforts and that His supernatural intervention will guarantee safety and success. Their hearts would melt should they hear what God has told others. bn
Listen to the cries for God's involvement in war, and you will realize that those prayers cannot all be answered to the satisfaction of the petitioners. They conflict with each other, as has been true since Cain killed his brother, Abel.
Do you ever ask yourself what God is thinking, as He hears the songs and the prayers?
Passionate voices belt out "God Bless America," as U.S. troops depart their home areas for postings in the Iraqi war theater. Along Highway 80, which runs due north from Kuwait City to Iraq, a banner reads, "God Bless USA Troops" just outside Camp Coyote, temporary home to approximately 100,000 U.S. military personnel.
Boone, Iowa, Mayor George Maybee sent off the soldiers of National Guard mechanics unit, Company D with: "God speed to you. God bless you and hurry home."
Hannibal, Missouri's, hometown newspaper ran a series of responses from readers who wanted to submit names of men and women deployed for war under the headline, "Keep Service Personnel in Thoughts and Prayers" (Feb. 25, 2003).
Mrs. Toni Bloom wrote a sober editorial in The Oregonian, having received in the mail the last will and testament of her 25-year-old son, Cpl. Jason Eric Bloom.
Preparing and sending one's will to the next of kin is standard operating procedure for a soldier headed off to war. The way she calls on God is deeply moving.
"Help me to believe this is necessary and just-not merely the arrogance and self-righteousness of the mighty. Help me have faith that this is truly a fight of good against evil.
"And more than me, help the thousands of soldiers who are today on their way. God bless them, God protect them, God help them all" ("In My Opinion," Feb. 23, 2003, emphasis added throughout).
Diverse religions and diverse views
Not every American thinks of God the same way-or makes the same requests of Him.
The Chicago Tribune asked local ministers, rabbis, priests and Islamic leaders how they answered questions about the impending war. The minister of the Pilgrim Baptist Church said they were against war, but their "prayers are for Colin Powell, especially" (Staff Reporters, "Mixed Messages," Feb. 25, 2003).
(He didn't say what they asked God to do for Secretary Powell.)
Rabbi Asher Lopatin said of his Anshe Sholom B'nai Israel congregation: "One of the things that we do that is very important is we say a prayer for the soldiers of the United States and Israel...We also say a prayer for the government of the United States...and we pray that God helps them make the right decisions" (ibid.).
Praying to God for soldiers means asking that He grant them success and safety in battle. Of course, "success" for soldiers on one side of a conflict means defeat or death for those on the opposing side.
Imam Mohammed Amin Kholwadia is the director of an institute for higher learning for Arabic and Islamic studies. Of prayer, he said: "During prayer time, we will mention [the politics of war]...to develop the spirit of the Muslim community towards prayer-and that they should turn to God for advice and comfort, strength and patience...[Prayer time] will not be something where we make any sort of radical judgment for or against any government in the prayer. It'll just be for the well-being of every human being" (ibid.).
That sounds nice, but what does it mean? With one war ongoing and another pending, opposing sides seek to defeat each other. What request does God hear from this group and what can He answer?
Generalities, mixed messages
Pastor John Buchanan of the Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago relates: "I think that every Sunday since the crisis has emerged and heated up we have continued to pray for peace, and in addition prayed for the president and his advisers and for the secretary of state and the important decisions they're in the process of making. We have prayed every Sunday for the men and women in our armed services and their families, and we have prayed for the Iraqi people and their leaders and we have prayed for the United Nations" (ibid.).
Let's break this down. God hears a request for peace. And, He hears a request that He give insight and judgment to the national leaders of the United States, as well as the national leaders of Iraq. But these want the defeat of each other. He also hears a prayer for the American soldiers. The men and women in the armed services of the United States are trained and prepared to kill the enemy until his government surrenders or is destroyed. War is not "nice." A prayer for the American armed services is a request that God guides their weapons straight and true.
Morris Taylor, a member of the administrative body of Evanston's Bahai community, says of his group: "We hope and pray that all conflicts like this will be resolved quickly and as peacefully as possible" (ibid.). Several other denominations were similarly general in their responses.
"Conflicts like this...resolved...peacefully" makes it sound like we're talking about a minor dispute or misunderstanding between people in their community. Is that how God views the ongoing and pending conflicts? It's not how radical Muslims view it.
"Righteous" viewed differently
From another perspective, a message believed to be from Osama bin Laden called the impending Iraqi war, "the war of infidels led by America and its allies" ("Bin Laden's Message: Fight the 'Crusaders,'" Reuters, The New York Times, Feb. 15, 2003.)
Being completely clear, bin Laden and company say this is a religious war, the godless versus the godly. Only, in their perspective-and their prayers-the godless and the godly are reversed from those the Americans and their allies are praying for.
Continuing, "We stress that the loyal intentions that the fighting should be in the name of God only... We remind that victory is from God alone."
God is on our side, is what radical Islam claims. He is not on your side, they say to the Americans and "the Coalition of the Willing." The objective of extremist Muslims is plain. They want to fight, terrorize, kill, destroy and defeat all who are not Muslim-unless or until they convert.
The tape continues: "We say to honest Muslims that they must move, incite and mobilize the nation amid these great events to liberate themselves from the establishment of these oppressive, unjust, apostate ruling governments, which in turn are enslaved by America, and to establish the rule of God on earth."
To the radical Muslim, the Iraqi question is only a part of the great cause, the great war of Islam vs. Christianity.
Read his words: "This crusade war is primarily aimed at the people of Islam regardless of the removal or survival of the socialist government or Saddam."
By using the word crusade, bin Laden (or whoever recorded the tape) invokes the historical Christian crusades against the Ottoman Empire-ruled Jerusalem. He defines all Western interest in the Middle East as a crusade of Christians vs. Muslims.
"The Muslims as a whole," he continues, "and in Iraq in particular, should pull up their sleeves and carry jihad against this oppressive offensive and to make sure to stock up on ammunition and arms. This is a duty for them [implying, a religious duty].
"It does not hurt that in the current circumstances, the interests of Muslims coincide with the interests of the socialists in the war against the crusaders, taking into account our belief and declaration of the apostasy of the socialists."
Clearly, radical Muslims involve God's name not only to defeat whatever nations eventually go after Saddam Hussein's regime, but to defeat Christianity and replace it with Islam worldwide.
"God, be on our side"
So, how does God hear the prayers of the radicals? Most readers of World News and Prophecy would be startled by the very suggestion that God would hear their prayers at all. But, it's important that we understand the Muslim radicals are certain theirs are the only prayers heard and answered.
Over 90 percent of Americans believe in God-in some form. The above mix of religious expressions gives a small insight into how scattered and nonspecific American religious views are. Nonetheless, Americans freely call on God to bless the cause of the "Coalition of the Willing" in the present war against Islamic terrorists and the pending war against an Islamic nation, Iraq.
Is this a war of Christians against Muslims? No, but it can be interpreted that way. That is, only the radical Muslims put that forthright label on the war on terrorism, but the peoples set to face off against each other in the pending Middle East war are in fact largely Christians and Muslims. Muslim extremists would love to sell the Christian vs. Muslim concept to all Muslims.
Does God take sides?
Does God take sides in wars? We have to turn to the Bible for the answer, but it's an absolute yes, He does. We know the David and Goliath record, and there are many other events like it when God's participation gave the poorly armed and outnumbered the victory. Not that there always had to be a David vs. Goliath scenario, for there were other wars when God's people were the better armed and in greater numbers than the enemies they defeated.
The American-led "Coalition of the Willing" is anything but a shepherd with a sling vs. a heavily-armed giant. There's absolutely no reason whatsoever that the coalition would fail to defeat and overthrow Saddam Hussein-is there?
There may well be reasons for getting bogged down in protracted small-arms street fighting, establishing a new government and caring for Iraqis whom Hussein poisons with chemical or biological weapons. Then, there is the aftermath of how Arabs, particularly Muslims incited by radicals, interpret the act of crushing Saddam.
I titled this piece, "Words No One Wants to Hear From God." They are: "I am no longer on your side; I am now against you."
The book of Amos tells of a time when ancient Israel was relatively strong with every reason to expect that they could defeat any enemy that attempted to overwhelm them. But God, for cause, withdrew His blessing.
How would you feel if you heard God speak those words to you? How would you feel if He spoke those words to those going to war, now, the sons and the daughters, the fathers and the mothers in the armed services of the American-led "Coalition of the Willing"?
Are we prophesying a defeat for the West and a victory for the Iraqi dictator? No, but we want you to think. God, for cause, withdrew His blessing from ancient Israel. What cause?
The shocking reality is that conditions in Israel at the time were similar to what they are in America today. There was a mix of religions. People generally believed in God, but they altered most of the ways He initially laid out for their worship. They had religious holidays and church services, but they lived what we would call "liberal" lifestyles-and they still prayed for God's blessing.
But the day came when He said, "No, I can't give it to you anymore." When that day came, no amount of arrows and spears (precision-guided missiles), no deftness in wielding sword or sling (marksmanship), no superiority in spies (intelligence) made any difference. Israel-who always counted on God to be on their side-lost.
Why do we bring this up? First, we learn how God thinks by reading the history of the Bible. The lesson should sober any people of faith who count on God to grant them safety and success in war. More specifically, the mantle and the name of Israel now sit primarily on the shoulders of the United States and Great Britain. They are the inheritors of the blessings and the responsibilities.
The book of Amos is more than a history; it's a prophecy. The day will come when God says to modern Israel, for cause, "I am not with you anymore; I am against you."
We've told you often in the pages of our publications how our peoples turned away from God. Our purpose is to stir you to think, as war is again imminent, that unless people change, the day will soon come when God will tell America and Britain the words no one wants to hear Him say. -WNP

THE BOTTLER+PRACHER ART COLLECTION
About The b+P Collection

WILLI ROBERT HUTH
Huth
Willi Robert Huth (1890-1970)
"Ernest Stahl- Nachbauer und Marité Matthis", 1921, ink on paper.
Huth was artistically very close to the expressionist works of Kirchner and Schmidt-Rottluff.
After the Press mocked this obvious relation, he resigned from the active artscene to find his own style. The drawing above
is one of his earliest attempts to overcome expressionism.
The actor Ernest Stahl- Nachbaur
was a UFA Moviestar in the 30ies and 40ies (z.B. "M- eine Stadt
sucht einen Mörder" ("M- a city searches a murderer").
Willi Robert Huth was born in 1890 in Erfurt. He started his studies at the school of applied arts and crafts in Erfurt and Duesseldorf. 1915-1918 he served as soldier and was held in British imprisonment where he met the artist Thomas Ring (see works of him in the section "Abstraction"). In 1919 he started out as independent painter
in Berlin and became friend with Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Erich Heckel, H.M. Pechstein and George Grosz. He married the painter and designer Martel Schwichtenberg in the same year. He joined the expressionist group "Jung Erfurt" in 1919 (see works of the other members Willy Kirch and Alfred Hanf in the section "Figure" and "Landscape") . Together with Hermann Sandkuhl, Huth was founding member of the 1921 "Juryfreie Kunstausstellung" (jury free exhibition). For the "Kestner Society" Hannover, he designed 6 lithographs for the annual Kestner portfolio.
Other artists of this famous print series were Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Max Kaus, Martel Schwichtenberg, László Moholy-Nagy and El Lissitky. Together with Lyonell Feininger, Paul Klee, Erich Heckel, Otto Mueller, Heinrich Nauen Emil Nolde, H.M. Pechstein Christian Rohlfs and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff he was featured at the "1. deutsche Expressionistenschau" (First German Expressionists exhibition) at "The Andersen Art Galleries", New York in 1923. He travelled to Italy, Spain, Austria, Switzerland and Paris and devloped his new, non-expressionist style.
With the beginning of the Nazi regime Huth was suppressed as artist. Later on he even received an exhibition ban. Three of his works were confiscated during the "degenerate art movement". In 1944 Huth was recruited as border patrol and was captured by Russian troops. While away, his studio in Berlin was bombed and all of his works were destroyed.
After the war he became an art teacher and later on Professor at the academy of applied art in Berlin. Huth died in 1977 in Amrum.

The Priests We Seek Are Already Working Among Us
Church Reform, Writings
Janine Denomme was deeply respected in her church and her community in Chicago. For years, she served her local parish as a lay preacher, church musician, parish council member, spiritual director and religion teacher. She held a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania, taught at a number of Catholic colleges, and, later, was the director of youth programs at a Chicago gay and lesbian center. She was an out lesbian in a loving, committed relationship.
Mercy Sr. Margaret McBride has more than 34 years of experience in health care management. Most recently, she served as vice president of mission integration at St. Joseph's Medical Center, a prominent Catholic hospital in Phoenix, founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1895. McBride was the highest-ranking Mercy sister on the staff, and a member of the hospital's ethics committee.
Denomme had a lifelong struggle with the church that she loved and her belief that God was calling her to the priesthood. After years of discernment, Denomme decided to pursue ordination in the Roman Catholic Womenpriests community. In April 2009, while preparing to be ordained, Denomme, at the age of 45, learned that she had terminal colorectal cancer. She battled the disease with extraordinary grace, and, as a final act of ministry, kept a powerful journal recounting her illness, treatment, and movement toward death. She was ordained in April 2010. With only a few weeks to live, her dying wish was to have her funeral Mass held at St. Gertrude, the parish she loved and served for years.
McBride was considered the moral conscience of St. Joseph's. As her colleague Dr. John Garvie wrote, she worked "tirelessly and selflessly as the living example and champion of compassionate, appropriate care for the sick and dying. … She always made sure we understood that we're here to help the less fortunate." In late 2009, McBride and the ethics committee were faced with an extraordinary moral dilemma. A 27-year-old mother of four children was in deteriorating condition with a pulmonary disorder. She was 11 weeks pregnant, and doctors concluded that she would likely die if she carried her pregnancy to term. After study and deliberation, McBride and the ethics committee gave their consent for the pregnancy to be terminated in order to save the life of the mother.
During the second week of May 2010, Denomme was denied a Catholic funeral Mass in her home parish by the Chicago archdiocese, and the bishop of Phoenix said that McBride had incurred automatic excommunication. A week later, Denomme passed away at her home surrounded by loved ones, forced to have her final liturgy in a neighboring Methodist church. McBride was reassigned to another part of the hospital "to focus on a number of new strategic initiatives."
While the institutional church maintains a system that supports abuses of power and protects abusers of people, true ministers like Denomme and McBride are denied the opportunity to participate in the sacramental life that they themselves incarnated each day in their work. Both were cruelly banished from the church that they served with exceptional devotion, integrity and love. Their banishment is further proof that the institutional church is cutting itself off from the life-giving, authentic church that continues to flourish inside and outside of its walls.
Women like Denomme and McBride are too intelligent and faithful to the Gospel to believe that these condemnations have separated them from the love of God. The real losers here are the members of the institutional church, who have denied themselves the blessing of being in communion with these women. Because women like them are exactly the kind of spiritual leaders that those living in 21st century need for moral guidance and religious inspiration.
McBride was the moral center of a hospital, teaching not only compassionate care, but guiding people through the toughest ethical decisions that all of us, regardless of religious commitment, must face eventually. Denomme was a model of courage and goodness to countless people. She reached out to young gay, lesbian and transgendered people who otherwise might have been forced into homelessness or turned to suicide. And, in her death, she left behind a series of spiritual reflections on the CaringBridge.org Web site that will be a source of strength and comfort to all of us who struggle with illness.
Women like Denomme and McBride exemplify the kind of spiritual leadership that both older and newer generations of seekers crave. Even if Denomme hadn't become a Roman Catholic Womanpriest and McBride weren't a Sister of Mercy, they would still have been fully answering God's calling and would have been no less ministers of word and sacrament.
My greatest comfort is that Denomme and McBride did not work in a vacuum. They are only two of the countless women and men who are doing the work of justice and compassion throughout our world. While the institutional church crumbles under its own weight of faithless, desperate acts of self-preservation, these women and men are modeling the work to which God calls us, by serving in hospitals, prisons, shelters, schools, community centers and anywhere else God seeks to be made present.
These servant leaders are the keys to the future of the church. Free from the trappings of clericalism, these women and men will guide new generations in understanding what it means to bring about the very life of God in a broken world. This is spiritual leadership that will truly speak to newer generations of people, who are less compelled by parish structures and traditional religious devotions.
New generations will need much more from religious leadership than dispensers of sacraments. They will need people who are incarnating sacramental life. Those whose transformative actions will challenge our moral convictions, and whose healing, justice-seeking work will guide us in making meaning in an increasingly empty, violent world. Older generations have been hungering for this kind of leadership for a long time. Together we need to realize that the priests we seek are already working among us.
The lives of Denomme and McBride signal the need for progressive Catholics to truly broaden their understanding of the priesthood. Though the hierarchy is often blamed for clericalism, laypeople are often trapped in this narrow vision of the servant of God, too. Our eyes have been forced open to see the moral decay and deceit behind a large part of the clerical structure, and much energy is being spent in calling the institutional church's leadership to accountability and transparency. But we must open our eyes even wider now, and see who our real priests are. We need to give our energy to supporting these women and men, and to honor fully this church that the institutional church is leaving behind.

Ariana Grande Gets Married In "Tiny And Intimate" Wedding Ceremony
Ariana Grande and her real estate agent fiance Dalton Gomez got married over the weekend in a private ceremony with just 20 people in attendance.
Ariana Grande tied the knot with Dalton Gomez in secret over the weekend.
The '7 Rings' hitmaker and her partner Dalton married in a "tiny and intimate" ceremony this weekend with just 20 of their closest family and friends in attendance, her representative has confirmed.
The representative told People magazine: "They got married. It was tiny and intimate — less than 20 people. The room was so happy and full of love. The couple and both families couldn't be happier."
Ariana, 27, and Dalton's wedding took place at their home in Montecito, California.
A source added to the publication: "Both Ari and Dalton love Montecito. They spend a lot of time there. It seems only natural that they would get married at Ari's beautiful and historic house."
Aerial view: This is Ariana Grande's home in Montecito, California, where she secretly married Dalton Gomez over the weekend. The singer bought the 5,500 sq ft house earlier this year from Ellen Degeneres and Portia De Ross for US$6.75 million (S$8.97 mil).
Ariana announced her engagement to the 25-year-old real estate agent in December, when she posted a photo on Instagram of her ring.
The couple began dating in January 2020 and spent much of the COVID-19 pandemic self-isolating together at her home.
In May, they made their first official appearance together in the music video for Ariana and Justin Bieber's collaborative track, 'Stuck with U', before they made their romance Instagram official in June.
A source previously said: "They couldn't be happier, they're just so excited. This is a happy time for them, both sets of parents are thrilled."
The marriage news comes after Ariana was previously set to marry comedian and Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson, before the pair split in October 2018 after just five months together.
Prior to Pete, the singer was in a two-year romance with the late rapper Mac Miller — who passed away in September 2018 — before splitting shortly before she started dating Pete in May 2018. — BANG SHOWBIZ

Q: How to write the difference between two files into a file Saying that I have two files: a.txt and b.txt.
The content of a.txt:
hello world

The content of b.txt:
hello world
something else

Of course I can use vimdiff to check their difference, I can make sure that a.txt is a subset of b.txt, which means that b.txt must contain all of lines existing in a.txt (just like the example above).
My question is how to record lines which exists in b.txt but doesn't exist in a.txt into a file?

A: If you dont care for subset, you can use just
diff a.txt b.txt|grep ">"|cut -c 3- > foo.txt

.
$ cat a.txt
hello world
$ cat b.txt
hello world
something else
$ diff a.txt b.txt|grep ">"|cut -c 3- > foo.txt
$ cat foo.txt
something else

A: comm -1 -3 a.txt b.txt > c.txt

The -1 excludes lines that are only in a.txt, and the -3 excludes lines that are in both.  Thus only the lines exclusively in b.txt are output (see man comm or comm --help for details).  The output is redirected to c.txt
If you want the difference between the two files, use diff rather than comm.  e.g.
diff -u a.txt b.txt > c.txt

A: Limitation: this is not a real file diff, more like a set of the lines diff (but you may need exactly this).
All differences between a.txt and b.txt:
sort a.txt b.txt | uniq -u > c.txt

Lines which missing from a.txt (ignoring lines which missing from b.txt):
sort a.txt a.txt b.txt | uniq -u > c.txt

Explanation: after cat and sort the 2 files together you have the subset lines duplicated, uniq -u shows only the uniq lines, those are the lines which are only present in one of the file. Duplicating one of the input (a.txt above) suppresses all the lines exist in that file on the output.
Duplication in any of the files ruins the output of the commands above, if you have duplicates in your files you have to remove those first and run the commands above on the newly created files:
sort a.txt | uniq | aa.txt
sort b.txt | uniq | bb.txt

You can check the result, this 2 command should give you the same checksum:
sort b.txt c.txt | uniq | sha256sum
sort a.txt c.txt | uniq | sha256sum

If one of the file is a superset of the other (so it has all lines of the other plus (maybe) more) then you can simplify a bit. Like in your example the b.txt is the superset, so this 2 commands should give you the same checksum too:
sort b.txt | sha256sum
sort a.txt c.txt | sha256sum

A: b.txt - a.txt :
sort a.txt a.txt b.txt | uniq -u > foo.txt

What a gorgeous car to behold. The Maserati Ghibli is a real work of art, both inside and out, standing out from the crowd in what some consider as being a fairly 'vanilla' sector.
Sitting pretty at the higher end of the large executive saloon class are vehicles like the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class, Jaguar XF, Volvo S90 and the Audi A6.
The critical difference is that if you are looking to get into the driving seat of most of these vehicles, you can do so with a budget nearer to £35k. There is no such entry level with the Maserati Ghibli, with standard models costing over £50k to start with. With this in mind, it may be better to look at the Ghibli in the same light as an Audi A7 or a Mercedes CLS.
