After NETmundial, Multistakeholder Statement Criticized as "Weak, Toothless...Sterile"

While Netmundial did advance some important issues, such as recognizing the Internet as a global resource and the right to development as enabled by the Internet, the culmination of the conference, with the drafting of the Multistakeholder Statement did not live up to the expectations of many attendees, especially the members of civil society who had come to address issues like privacy, net neutrality and the future of Internet governance. At issue was the conference's multistakeholder approach, which sought to include the voices of thousands of those from government, academia, the private sector, civil society and the technical community, but failed to address power imbalances which gave some voices more weight, even disproportionately, one might argue.

Right2Water Citizens' Initiative Gets Unsatisfactory Response: A Failure For Participation in the EU?

"Water and sanitation are a human right! Water is a public good, not a commodity!" This is not a sign that could be seen in a street protest, but the title of a petition that recently gathered 1.6 million online signatures among European citizens and was presented to the European Commission earlier this year. This was also the first official effort of the European Citizens' Initiative (ECI), a petition instrument created by the EU in order to give citizens a way to push requests and issues that they care about to the attention of the EU institutions. But, as the European Commission issued an official response that proved non-committal and unsatisfactory to the committee, the issue also seem to now extend to the effectiveness of the ECI itself.

Skulls are intricately carved by stone sculptors using diamond bits on a single piece of healing crystal. They can represent the human or extraterrestrial alien skull. Skulls aid in channeling work and connecting one with the spiritual realms, passed loved ones, the Other Side, and communicating with alien races. They aid in relieving the fear of death. For a very powerful spiritual energy, focus on a single skull surrounded by a circle of smaller skulls in a crystal healing grid.

Word on the street is that OS 5.0.0.591 and Push to Talk capability are coming to the Verizon BlackBerry Tour 9630 Monday night at 11:59 p.m.
Camera – Smoother operation in both camera and video applications.
Calling – Improved Bluetooth functionality for last number dialed, enhanced functionality for Voice Activated Dialing in both French and English, improved missed call log showing missed Call Waiting calls, and upgraded Call Waiting caller ID and call timer.
Messaging – Improved functionality for reading, sending, forwarding, and deleting SMS messages as well as corrected in-box display when in holster.
I may dust off my old device and give it a whirl. Curious how well PTT will work on it.
So does this mean that we will have to re-initialize all of the programs on our BB? My past experience w/ 0S upgrades on the BB is that my BB stars in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless BB," an indie flick in which it has no memory of all of the great things I have done for it. Just installed the new Bolt browser w/ my bookmarks (HATE the new 0pera, aft yrs of desktop/BB use – cd the lge font be any smaller?) – not looking forward to going thru that again.
So long overdue, about dang time Verizon!
I am upgrading my phone right now…. Hopefully it fixes the timer showing up on my screen almost daily when I am using the phone. Very annoying.
Upgrade completed in about 30-40 minutes or so (via Desktop Manager and USB). Maybe less. Threaded SMS now!!! 🙂 Finally. SMS works more like BBM now.
Haven't seen a lot of differences, but it does seem a little quicker.

Has Newland Avenue finally reached restaurant tipping point?
A quota which prevents more than 50 per cent of businesses being used for non-retail is close to being reached
Phil WinterBusiness Editor
Cllr Mike Ross in Newland Avenue
It is one of the most popular streets for a night out or a bite to eat in Hull.
But as the saying goes, there can be too much of a good thing - and some people in Newland Avenue say their street is about to reach tipping point.
Because the west Hull street is just five food and drink businesses away from going over the set amount allowed by Hull City Council.
And now calls are being made to make the latest application, the last one approved by planning bosses.
Councillor Mike Ross said: "The worry is the more takeaway and restaurants you have, which are geared up to evening and night-time business, the more damaging the impact is on day-time shops."
Currently the quota allowed for non-retail businesses in Newland Avenue is set at 50 per cent but Cllr Ross wants to see this lowered to 40 per cent.
Newland Avenue in Hull
He said: "I have been a councillor for 16 years, and this is an issue which has been raised with me by residents for a very long time.
"In my opinion, I think it would have been more helpful if the quota stood at around 40 per cent. I am aware that cannot be changed now, but I hope one day it will be possible to do that."
It comes as an application to convert a building most recently used as a charity shop into a new restaurant space was approved by Hull City Council.
WATCH: The six steps to a planning application process
The decision takes the number of non-retail businesses in Newland Avenue to almost 45 per cent - and crucially just five shops away from hitting the 50 per cent quota.
Man 'seriously injured' after crash with three parked cars near Chanterlands Avenue
The Newland Residents' Association objected to the change of use of 204 Newland Avenue into a restaurant space. It noted the percentage of food and drink businesses had increased from 22 per cent in 2012 to 27 per cent today.
"There is a heavy concentration of food and drink premises in the immediate area of the proposed site," the association said.
Advancetec Computers is also set to be turned into a new takeaway
Concerns were are also raised over an increase in traffic, noise and waste fat and oil.
The planning application acknowledged that if the change of use was approved, it would decrease the number of retail shops to 54.9 per cent.
A new takeaway is coming to the Avenues - and residents aren't happy
It pointed out however that this would not cause the quota of 50 per cent to be hit. If the quota in Newland Avenue is reached, it would make it much harder for new food and drink businesses to open.

Cllr Ross said: "Concerns have been raised to me over antisocial behaviour.
Are there too many food and drink businesses in Newland Avenue?
Yes, and it is making life for residents hard
No, more need to come and the residents should stop complaining
"What we don't want down Newland Avenue is empty units but at the same time, I'm not sure we want planning decisions that allow more drink establishments.
"It is not so much about protecting shops, but it is about letting the street thrive."

Q: verify email using accounts.ui package I want to send a verification email when some user is created. I use the accounts-password package, so any Accounts methods are called in my code.
I read in documentation that I need to call:
Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(userId, [email])
but the problem is that I don't know when to call it.
I tried to call in the callback function of Accounts.onCreateUser(func) but the user had not been created yet in the database.
Any ideas?

A: sendVerificationEmail is only available server-side. What I usually do is to use a setInterval inside onCreateUser to wait for Meteor to create the user before sending an email.
Read More: Verify an Email with Meteor Accounts.
// (server-side)
Accounts.onCreateUser(function(options, user) {
  user.profile = {};

  // we wait for Meteor to create the user before sending an email
  Meteor.setTimeout(function() {
    Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(user._id);
  }, 2 * 1000);

  return user;
});

A: You need specify mail in enviroment variables.
Then use Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(userId, [email]) in callback of Account.onCreateUser sorry for mistake and delay.
Like this (below is full example js file):
Template.register.events({
'submit #register-form' : function(e, t) {
  e.preventDefault();
  var email = t.find('#account-email').value
    , password = t.find('#account-password').value;

    // Trim and validate the input

  Accounts.onCreateUser({email: email, password : password}, function(err){
      if (err) {
        // Inform the user that account creation failed
      } else {
        // Success. Account has been created and the user
        // has logged in successfully.
       Accounts.sendVerificationEmail(this.userId, email);
      }
    });

  return false;
}  });

if(Meteor.isServer){
   Meteor.startup(function(){
      process.env.MAIL_URL='smtp://your_mail:your_password@host:port'
   }
}

I refered to this pages :
http://blog.benmcmahen.com/post/41741539120/building-a-customized-accounts-ui-for-meteor
http://sendgrid.com/blog/send-email-meteor-sendgrid/
How come my Meteor app with accounts package is not sending a verification email?

A: on the serverside:
Accounts.config({sendVerificationEmail: true, forbidClientAccountCreation: false});

got the answer from the comments above.

Memorial: Queen Elizabeth's Oak
Erection date: 3/12/1992
Queen Elizabeth's Oak
This ancient tree known as Queen Elizabeth's Oak is thought to have been planted in the 12th Century and it has been hollow for many hundreds of years.
It has traditions linking it with Queen Elizabeth I, King Henry VIII and his Queen Anne Boyleyn, it may also have been a lock-up for offenders against park rules.
It died in the late 19th Century and a strong growth of Ivy supported it until it collapsed in June 1991.
The English Oak alongside was planted by His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, KG, KT Baron Greenwich on 3rd December 1992. The tree was donated by Greenwich Historical Society to mark the 40 years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
The old tree is presumably gradually being decomposed by beetles and the like. The new tree may be the one to the far right of our picture.

In addition to graduate training that stressed Clinical and Physiological Psychology, he had a considerable background in Sociology.

Dr. Crooks and his wife, Sami Tucker, were involved in the establishment and implementation of HIV/AIDS intervention programs in two areas of Kenya. For more than a decade, their work with these projects included designing a research strategy for assessing behavior change, developing a peer educator-based educational strategy and conducting training sessions for Kenyan peer educator staff. Karla Baur has retired as co-author after 13 editions. A licensed clinical social worker in private practice, she specializes in couples and sex therapy. In addition to providing clinical supervision, seminars and lectures for other mental health therapists and professional groups, Baur has taught human sexuality and female sexuality classes at Portland Community College, Portland State University and Clark College.

Certified as a sex educator, therapist and sex therapy supervisor by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists, Baur has a master's degree in Social Work and her advanced academic work stressed clinical training.

The proceeds from items sold, underwriters, program ads and ticket sales netted more than $40,000 at the 40th Annual Big Benefit Auction in late August, which was themed "Clownin' Around." Funds raised benefit students directly through scholarships and program enhancements at Barton Community College.
Executive Director of Institutional Advancement Coleen Cape said she feels fortunate to have reached the foundation's goal.
With the auction being the largest fundraiser for the Foundation each year, it is important for everything to come together. Successfully orchestrating this event is something both Cape and the Foundation Board of Directors know would be impossible without support from the community.
Cape said the Foundation is not "Clownin' Around" when they offer their sincerest gratitude to the auction underwriters, including Advanced Therapy and Sports Medicine, Phil and Kim Grossardt, ILS, Nex-Tech and UMB Wealth Management.
The annual scholarship honorarium, where auction-goers donate directly to a scholarship honoring a community member, raised about $10,000, all to be awarded in scholarships for the 2019-20 academic year in the name of the Foundation Board of Directors member Sylvan Bleeker.
Roger and Mary Lou Murphy also donated a completely restored Cushman cycle to be auctioned during the collectors' auction by Carr Auction and Real Estate in October. The proceeds will be added to the honorarium in memory of Sylvan.
For more information, contact the Barton Foundation office at (620) 792-1136.
In 1981, the Claflin Fire Department donated a stuffed buffalo head to the foundation auction. This unique item was christened as "Old Bill" and quickly became a mainstay of this annual event being auctioned off each year since. To date, Old Bill has netted almost $220,000 in support of academic scholarships and program enhancements. Since 2002, the money generated from the sale of Old Bill has taken on an additional purpose – to honor loyal supporters and donors to Barton Community College.
Bart the Cougar showed up to mingle with the crowd while decked out in a clown outfit to match the Foundation Auction's theme of "Clownin' Around." Shown with Bart are auction patrons Eric and Tiffany Schoendaler of Hoisington.

Presidential candidate Barack Obama spoke to transport workers facing steep job cuts at Kansas City International airport yesterday. The town-hall meeting was part of his tour of tightly-contested states before he speaks at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday. KCUR's Sylvia Maria Gross was there.
A couple hundred people were at the American Airlines overhaul base to see Senator Obama speak. It was a mix of local supporters, and maintenance workers. Mechanic Alan Jones said he wanted to hear how a new administration could help bring some job security.
JONES: I've been laid off probably three or four times since I've been with this company. We need a change to take place so that those coming behind me will have a place to work where it's uninterrupted.
Senator Obama said the Bush administration's economic and energy policies contributed to the challenges facing American Airlines.
OBAMA: The fact is that the airlines are getting clobbered. They're having a tough time because of rising fuel prices. Because of the same things that are creating a tough time for individual families who are trying to fill up their gas tanks, or buy groceries.
Obama also answered questions about health care, worker safety and social security.

General and statesman
The Marshall Plan and its consequences
The Marshall Plan and the Containment Policy

General Marshall, ca. 1945 (Bild: Truman Library)
Unlike any statesmen before and since, George C. Marshall influenced post-war Europe, probably more than any politically elected individual in history. Truly he can be called a "General for Peace", whose story is not only unique, but inspiring.
Childhood, education and entering the Service
Born on December 31, 1880, in the conservative countryside of Uniontown, Pennsylvania; he was the third child of George Catlett Marshall and his wife Laura Bradford Marshall. Although not a good student in school, the subject matter of history caught his interest. As a child. George was fascinated by the local illegal "Cockfights" (Rooster fights). His father favoured George's brother, Stuart and his younger sister, Margaret, who was by far the better student. The family could look back upon a long patriotic lineage that included a Chief Justice of the United States, John Marshall (1755-1835).
When it came time to attend college, in 1896, George at the age of 16, gladly went to Virginia Military Institute (VMI) at Lexington, Virginia. Many relatives had attended this renowned institution, from which a cousin, COL Charles Marshall had graduated and served as an aid to GEN Robert E. Lee, during the American Civil War. In a letter to the superintendent, Charles recommended that George be admitted to VMI; and to the surprise of many, he was accepted.
During his years at VMI, he quickly learned military drill and regulations, which brought him through the ranks, receiving a commission as 2nd Lieutenant on February 2, 1902.
A few days later, he married Lily (better known as Elizabeth Carter Coles), who he had met years earlier, since she lived near the gates of VMI. It had been love at first sight, but suffering from weak heart she was unable to bear children, a fact which did not influence their happy marriage.
Only a few months later, 2LT George Marshall was ordered the Philippines, which was subjected to civil fighting. At the small outpost near Mangarin, he gained his first experience of war and commanding soldiers. After 18 months, he returned to the United States, where he was promoted to 1st Lieutenant in March 1907. 1910, found Marshall mobilizing troops to beset the Mexican Revolution. In August 1913, he was assigned once again to the Philippines to counteract the phenomenal ruthless colonial growth of Imperial Japan. He predicted, it was only a matter of time before Japan would conquer the islands. Little did anyone know, how right he was.
A short time later, World War One broke out in Europe and in October 1916, he was promoted to Captain. He became assistant Chief of Staff, serving GEN William L. Sibert's First Division, as part of the American Expeditionary Forces, landing in France on June 26, 1917. The First Divsion spearheaded a 2 million man Army, commanded by GEN John J. Pershing.
With the fall of the Eastern Front, due to the Bolshevik Revolution, Germany threw 100 battle tested Divisions against the fresh American Army along the French Eastern Front, in an offensive which began on March 21, 1918.
As an organizer of men and a planner of battles, Marshall failed to gain a field command, but was so successful in his duties, that GEN Pershing transferred him to his command staff. Amongst his accomplishments, was the movement of 400,000 U.S. soldiers, with 3,000 cannons, 40,000 tons of shells and 90,000 horses, covering a distance of 100 miles. Many of his men were forced to walk to lessen traffic along the small road.
The German Army failed to withstand the ceaseless Allied attacks and on November 11, 1918, the war came to an end. Marshall remained in Europe, organizing the Occupation of the Rhineland by U.S. troops. It was while with GEN Pershing, that Marshall met many world leaders and gained much first-hand experience in politics.
Together they returned to the United States in September 1919, and led a victory parade of 25,000 veterans down the streets of Washington DC.
The Marshall family would remain in Washington DC until 1924, when GEN Pershing retired, Marshall was given command of 15th Infantry Regiment in Tientsin, China. He and Lily would remain in China for the next three years. In 1927, he returned to Washington DC, to become an instructor at the Army War College. On September 15, that same year, Lily suffered a heart attack and suddenly died. Her passing struck George hard.
He moved to Fort Benning, GA, in October and became head of the Academic Department, where he began his famous "Black Book", noting the names of officers who impressed upon him their outstanding abilities; an invaluable aid when America sought good officers to fight World War Two. It was during this period, that George met Katherine, whom he married in 1930.
In 1933, Marshall was assigned the task of organizing a group of 500 Civilian Conservation Corps youth, as part of President Roosevelt's employment efforts to get the American economy going again, after the Great Depression. At Fort Screven, under Marshall's guidance, this figure soon rose to 4,500. By 1936, George Marshall was given his first star and the rank of Brigadier General. With the world on the edge of war and the foreboding of conflict in both Asia and Europe, President Roosevelt decided to appoint now General George C. Marshall as Army Chief of Staff, an assignment he entered on September 1, 1939; the same day Hitler's army attacked Poland.

Only months later on December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, forcing America's entrée into the war. Ill prepared, out numbered and poorly equipped, Marshall now suffered the shortcomings of years of financial neglect that the American Congress had imposed upon its military forces. Much of the equipment was dated from 1919, most of the fleet had been destroyed, and not enough American men were in arms to fight such a war.
Marshall helped organize the rapid production of war-time equipment, create an Army that would engage only when ready, despite the political efforts of Churchill and even Roosevelt to deploy our military in piece-meal fashion. Once this Army was ready, Marshall was given the assignment he had dreamed of since entering the service, he was promoted to General of the Army; a rank held by only eight officers in American history.

He now commanded the largest military force America had ever assembled, which now was successfully fighting it's way across Europe. Soon two bombs were to end the fighting in the Pacific, with the signing of surrender documents onboard the USS Missouri. On September 2, 1945; World War Two came to an end.
President Harry S. Truman, then sent GEN Marshall to China, in an effort to create a coalition between the Nationalists led by Chiang Kai-shek and the Communists led by Mao Zedong. When his efforts failed, with the ensuing civil war being won by Mao, Marshall returned to the United States.
Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense On January 21, 1947, he became Secretary of State. The following years saw George Marshall becoming US Secretary of State, creating and executing the Marshall Plan (for details, please read the separate section
Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense
On January 21, 1947, he became Secretary of State. The following years saw George Marshall becoming US Secretary of State, creating and executing the Marshall Plan (for details, please read the separate section "The Marshall Plan").
Although Secretary of State Marshall had served his country well, President Truman asked that he now act as Secretary of Defense. Marshall only held this position for less than one year, between 1950 and 1951, during which time he managed to re-build the Army after it's post-World War Two demobilisation period and restored confidence within the command. After the North Korean Army had succeeded in forcing US Army's 24th Division to retreat, America was now able to regain lost territory, resulting in an armistice being signed on July 27, 1953, with a new border along the 38th Parallel.

His final years
Upon leaving public service in September 1951, George and his wife Katherine, moved to their southern style plantation home in Leesburg, VA, known as Dodona Manor. The Marshall family had acquired the property in 1941, for when he retired. Unfortunately, George Marshall's health soon began to fail, he became deaf and his memory began to falter. He suffered one stroke after the other, while hospitalized at Walter Reed. He died on Friday, October 16, 1959.
Katherine remained in Dodona Manor and passed away some 20 years later, on December 18, 1978.
George C. Marshall is buried, together with both his wives, Lily and Katherine, in Arlington National Cemetery (section 7), in Washington DC.

This brief article aims at outlining to New York's translators the experience of a Venezuelan remarkable professional and business owner, convinced of the key role of high quality translators in multicultural communication.
Maria Josefina Quijada Aponte is a Venezuelan Spanish, English, French translator and interpreter. She graduated at the Universidad Central de Venezuela on Modern Languages and pursued high level studies on Translation and Interpretation at the School of Interpreters and Translators of Paris (ESIT) and has a master´s degree in International Relations. She started to work as a professional interpreter and translator in 1986 when she founded ENLACE SERVICIOS LINGUISTICOS PROFESIONALES, a company that offers comprehensive translation and interpretation services.
In Venezuela, because of the reduced size of the market, it is difficult to specialize; however, the oil sector, the most important industry in the country, certainly employs much of the available interpreters, due to the intensive training programs of the oil industry, largely dictated by instructors who use English as the language of communication.
Claudia Layas (CL): Maria, what motivated you to found Enlace?
Maria Quijada (MQ): I was motivated by the desire to be financially independent and the realization that there was the need in the country for high quality and comprehensive translation services.
CL: What do you consider as your main challenges as a business woman in the Venezuelan translation industry?
MQ: The challenges in the translation industry do not differ from those in other business areas: permanent innovation, attention to the clients' needs and never compromise on quality. Additionally, the market for translation and interpretation in Venezuela is not very large, so we all compete for the same clients, mainly the oil industry, to some extent medical congresses, the public sector and some technological areas such as computer industry.
Fortunately, the country has a training school for interpreters and translators at the university level that has been a remarkable seedbed of professionals, whose integrity and discipline have allowed them to overcome obstacles and outshine both inside and outside the country.
About the access to technology, in the early years of my career it definitely represented a challenge. I remember that back then computers began to be sold, cell phones were not as ubiquitous as today and fax machines were almost magical. Nowadays, with the available technology, access to information is no longer a problem.
CL: When you offer interpretation services for international conferences in Venezuela, do you follow any certification standards or internationally agreed guidelines?
MQ: Of course, although sometimes the strict compliance with some of these international rules is impossible. For example, while in international organizations it is mandatory that interpreters work into their native language, the reality is that, to work in our market, you have to translate in both directions. Otherwise, nobody would hire you.
CL: Translating in Latin America, what do you think is the main feature of Venezuelan Spanish?
MQ: Besides the regional peculiarities or the use of idiosyncratic locutions, I think that the communication in Latin America is not at all impeded by localisms. The professional translator learns to overcome these obstacles through research. The Spanish language of Venezuela, like in other countries in the region, has also its local nuances but I think it lacks some of the richness observed in other countries of the region with a longer tradition of production and reading of books.
CL: Your Company has accompanied many intergovernmental meetings. How would you describe your feelings after your team is able to recreate discussions towards the Latin America and the Caribbean union? Is it rewarding? Do you think it could be possible without translators and interpreters contribution?
MQ: It is not possible to have a successful multilingual meeting without high quality interpreters and translators. But besides the mere professional perspective, I have been fortunate enough to practice my profession at the highest political level and at a landmark moment for Latin America and the Caribbean, where our services have been instrumental in fostering dialogue to achieve the Bolivarian dream of uniting and integrating our peoples, not only in the commercial field but socially and spiritually. I can say it has been an additional source of pride and satisfaction for me.
CL: You work as High Level Officials interpreter, including Heads of State. What is the main skill do you think is needed for this job?
MQ: Command of the languages, constant pursuit of knowledge and permanent self-update. It is also important to observe discretion and respect for the rules of the protocol.
CL: You were President Hugo Chavez's interpreter. Do you have any special memory of him regarding interpretation?
MQ: He was an exceptional speaker, not only by the quality of his ideas, which ring true today more than ever, but by the consistency and clarity of thought, which is a treasure for any interpreter. Although the length of his speeches constituted sometimes a challenge to the endurance of any professional, he was extremely respectful of the work of the interpreter and very attentive to his/her requirements. He was mindful of the importance of translation in international events so was always careful to ensure the service to his foreign language speaking guests.
U.S. Census Bureau released a set of new tables today detailing hundreds of languages that U.S. residents speak at home. American Community Survey data on languages spoken at home were previously available for only 39 languages. These tables, based on American Community Survey data collected from 2009 to 2013, expand the languages and language groups tabulated to 350.
These tables are among the most comprehensive data ever released from the Census Bureau on languages spoken less widely in the United States, such as Pennsylvania Dutch, Ukrainian, Turkish, Romanian, Amharic and many others. Also included are 150 different Native North American languages, collectively spoken by more than 350,000 people, including Yupik, Dakota, Apache, Keres and Cherokee.
The tables provide information on languages and language groups for counties and core-based statistical areas (metropolitan and micropolitan areas) with populations of 100,000 or more and 25,000 or more speakers of languages other than Spanish, as well as for the nation, states and Puerto Rico regardless of population size. These data show the number of speakers of each language and the number who speak English less than "very well" — a common measure of English proficiency.
In addition to making the tables available for download as a spreadsheet, the Census Bureau will release the data as part of its application programming interface, or API.
At least 192 languages are spoken at home. 38 percent of the metro area population age 5 and over speak a language other than English at home. One of the smaller language groups found there is Bengali, with 105,765 speakers.

The American Community Survey is the only source of small area estimates for social and demographic characteristics of the U.S. population. It gives communities the current information they need to plan investments and services. Retailers, homebuilders, police departments, and town and city planners are among the many private- and public-sector decision makers who count on these annual results. Visit the ACS helps communities page to see some examples.
These statistics would not be possible without the participation of the randomly selected households in the survey.
Well the end of the year is almost here. There is still much to do. Work projects, interpreting assignments, updating or learning new tools and of course the everyday details of life that keeps us humming.
Many members attended the ATA conference in Miami and are still catching up with work projects. I was very happy to meet up with many NYCT members. It was good to see you in Miami and I hope it was as good a conference for you as for me. There were so many interesting sessions to choose from this year. I'm planning to have some of the presenters write for the NYCT Gotham, so if you missed a session you may be able to read an article by the presenter you missed.
As far as things to do there is one thing I do hope all members take seriously. It's the opportunity to vote in the NYCT Board Elections.
Please read the candidate statements and cast your vote. Unfortunately many members do not vote and we hope this will change. While our NYCT election is not as exciting as what is happening on the national level it still affects us personally as members.
If one the reasons that you do not cast a vote is because it "does not matter" or "there's no one I know running" then please contact our nominating committee or one of the Board Members at a meeting and state that you would like to run for the Board. The Board needs new ideas and fresh insights, perhaps an idea you have leads to big changes for the Circle.
Please enjoy the photos from our networking event held earlier in the fall.
The very first time I walked into a New York Circle of Translators meeting, I had no idea that it was going to change my professional life forever. I met so many wonderful high caliber people that day, including the then president Leonard Morin who so graciously welcomed me and put me in contact with people who have helped to advance my career as an interpreter.
Since that fateful day, becoming a member of the Circle has continued to exceed my expectations, and today I am running for the privilege to serve as your Program Director.
In my two enriching years at the New York Circle of Translators, I have worked with other dedicated members on an outreach initiative to bring together like-minded individuals in a symposium to advance the professionalization of public service and commercial language assistance in the New York City area.
By working on this project, I have acquired the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively serve as the new Program Director. I also have extensive experience in project management, having worked in several community-based organizations where I have lead successful campaigns and programs.
After Kate Deimling I will have big shoes to fill, but I am determined to continue serving the New York Circle of Translators by bringing the kind of quality programs that have characterized our organization for the last several years.
I love the Circle, and I am fully committed to our community and the future of the translation and interpretation industry. I am looking forward to bringing my passion and dedication to service to its members.
My name is Ana Salotti. I'm an English-Spanish freelance translator, and a translation instructor at Hunter College. I have had the opportunity to study translation and interpreting in two very different parts of the world: my native Argentina, where I undertook a BA in Spanish Translation back in 2005, and Australia, where I earned an MA in Interpreting and Translation Studies in 2012. I have been working as a professional translator since 2005, and as an interpreter since early 2015. I am an active member of the NYCT, and I am now honored to have been asked to run for the position of Program Director.
Coming from two diverse training settings, having worked in this field for almost ten years, and now teaching two Translation courses at Hunter College, I can see the great strengths, weaknesses and exciting opportunities lying ahead in our market. I firmly believe that the NYCT is breaking new ground with the monthly programs they have been putting together. I also believe that there is still more to do, to keep building our membership, provide ongoing learning opportunities, and educate clients and the general public on the importance of professionalization in our industry.
If elected, I will be looking forward to the opportunity of organizing relevant training workshops, talks and events with these goals in mind. I think training is the key to raising the bar of our profession. As a Program Director, I am ready to embrace that mission. I am committed to do as I as much as I can to make the NYCT the leading non-profit organization that every translator and interpreter in the city goes to for membership, training courses, interesting talks, and the latest trends in the market. I would also like to help build a higher profile for the Circle in the public eye. I promise to work with passion, and to engage in a meaningful dialogue with our members and stakeholders.
The New York Circle of Translators is gaining steam, seeking ways to support current members and to encourage other professionals to join us. The current Board has provided useful and interesting opportunities for members to learn about different aspects of translation and interpreting. Their efforts have inspired me to join in, and I would like to contribute to our organization's efforts as Secretary for the 2016 term.
To help you make your decision about the position of Secretary, I would like to offer a summary of my professional background. I have been a professional translator since 2011. I am ATA Certified in Spanish to English Translation, and I hold the NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies Certificate in French to English Translation.
I was raised in Union County, New Jersey. After completing my B.A. at Lynchburg College in Virginia, I lived in Spain for sixteen years. There, I worked as an English teacher, and I obtained a Licenciatura from the University of Seville. Upon returning to the U.S., I worked in the financial services sector for eleven years. For two of those years I was a secretary, after which I worked in positions which involved trade support, operational and record keeping functions for my department. In 2011, my job in financial services moved to the West coast.
At that time, I decided to seek a profession in which I could combine my experience with languages with my experience in business. Friends and acquaintances working in translation generously offered information and training. The conferences, training and support I experienced helped me conclude that freelance translation was the right choice for me.
It was one of the best decisions of my life. Courses and information offered through the ATA and its members allowed me a relatively smooth transition, and I currently work from a home office as Constantia Language Services LLC. The word Constantia is Latin for perseverance. As all translators and interpreters know, perseverance is key to developing the complex language and business skills necessary for success in our field.
As Secretary, I would not bring decades of experience as a translator or interpreter to the table. However, I have a broad-based and multi-cultural work background, and I have the writing skills, discipline and availability necessary to fulfill the responsibilities of the position.
Most important, I am eager for an opportunity to work with the current board members to support the growth and modernization of our organization. It would be an honor to serve the NYCT as Secretary. Thank you for reading my statement and considering my candidacy.
I am excited to accept the nomination to run for Treasurer of the NYCT. I have been a member of NYCT for 3 years now and have been impressed with the latest improvements and accomplishments that current leadership is actively pursuing. I am particularly motivated to work on supporting efforts for continued improvements and increasing overall member satisfaction with benefits that an NYCT membership offers.
I believe I have a number of valuable qualities I would bring to the position of Treasurer. First, I have 15+ years of practical experience as a business analyst in a large financial organization, which should allow me to accurately record, keep and maintain accounting information as well as prepare financial reports and balance sheets. I am confident that my MBA degree will complement my experience in all matters related to keeping books and records at the highest level of proficiency and to the highest standard of integrity.
Secondly, my experience and relationships with NYCT members and the Circle's leadership would allow me to step into the role quickly.
Finally, I have energy and passion to serve the NYCT and consider it a great privilege to be of service to an organization that I fully support and endorse. As a translator, I know firsthand how important and valuable peer support and encouragement are to any translator or interpreter, to one who is just starting or to one with many years of experience. I can't think of a better way to integrate my passion for supporting a professional group and my dedication to service than through this organization. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments about my candidacy for this position, by phone (203) 273-5691 or via email: akonon@aol.com.
You must be a current member of the New York Circle of Translators to vote in this election. Please read the candidate statements. When you are ready to cast your vote, please print out this page by using the print icon at the top of the page, just below the title and then mail to address below.

The question was thrown at me by an attorney for the other side who hoped what she was saying was true. If it were, and translations could only be evaluated in the same way we make decisions about fashion or flavors of ice-cream, then the one she had in her hand would be just as valid as the one that my client had submitted.
Obviously, the answer is, "No." But the question the attorney put to me is an interesting one, and deserves a longer answer. For one thing, this wasn't the first time I had heard it. The notion that translation is a nebulous art, ill-suited to clear rules or standards, is not uncommon, especially among those who have a little multilingual knowledge. That said, I have been working in technical and legal translation for more than a quarter of a century and, out-side of the very special context of a court room, where some people can be particularly disinclined to change their minds, I have never seen two translators remain in disagreement over the proper translation of a phrase for more than a few minutes. Invariably, a short discussion is enough to satisfy one of the translators that the other is right, and an evidence-based consensus is quickly achieved.
So where do non-translators (and even some novice translators) get the notion that there is no such thing as a wrong answer?
Part of it comes from the general idea that language itself is mysterious. It is, after all, amazing that so many of us manage to generate complex and flawless grammatical structures without even knowing the rules. (Be honest, gentle reader, if I were to ask you to give an example of the future subjunctive mood, would you be able to do so?) And then there is our awareness of the ambiguity that pervades our communication. If you have ever spent time with a teenager who has just learned how to tell "That's what she said" jokes, you will know that there are very few short utterances that cannot be taken in two ways.
Another potential source of confusion is bilingual dictionaries. The entry for the French word "adhésif," for example, is likely to include such English translations as, not only "adhesive" and "glue," but also "sticker" and "seal." If they are all listed in the dictionary, who is to say which one is correct?
Going further, even amateur translators will have come across situations in which the same idea can be expressed in two different ways. There is not much difference between saying that, "the cargo is carried by the vehicle" and saying that "the vehicle carries the cargo." Both are possible, so isn't the translator's preference the ultimate arbitrator?
There are two fallacies at work here. The first lies in assuming that, because human choice is involved, the choice is inherently arbitrary. The second is imagining that, because more than one possible correct translation can be conceived, all translations must be correct.
In any form of complex communication, ambiguity in-creases as the sample length decreases. One bit could mean anything, and a handful of bytes in a data transmission is generally useless without knowing which packet it came from. So while it is true that an "elongate member," mentioned by itself, might mean any number of things to a thirteen year old, when we hear that it is "eccentrically coupled to a rotary drive means," the possible interpretations narrow significantly. Context, in short, determines which readings are right and which are clearly wrong.
The question of how to select the most suitable phrasing is a little too complex to address in a blog post, but is covered in some detail in my chapter on literal translation in the ATA Patent Translator's Handbook. Suffice it to say, there are rules and, while there may be more than one possible right answer, there are also unquestionably wrong answers. Forming an option is indeed part of the translation process, but not all options, or translations, are equal.
Martin Cross began his career in as an in-house editor of Japanese patent translations in Tokyo. Later, he lived for many years in Italy and France, where he translated from those languages into English. His articles have been published in the New York Law Journal, the Westlaw Journal, The ATA Chronicle and Intellectual Property Today. He is currently the president of Patent Translations Inc., where he continues to translate and to serve as an expert witness on translation. He spends much of his time editing translations and training translators and editors in the ins and outs of legal and patent translation.


PAPUA New Guinea's K100 million development grant to the Solomon Islands over a five-year period has further strengthened bilateral relations between the two Melanesian countries.
Prime Minister Peter O'Neill handed over the first payment to his Solomon Islands counterpart Gordon Darcy Lilo in Honiara last May.
The second payment was done by Foreign Affairs and Immigration Minister Rimbink Pato in Honiara in May this year.
"Trade and investment between PNG and Solomon Islands are increasing and expanding. Currently, more than 50 PNG companies are registered investors in Solomon Islands with a total value of over $2.2 billion (more than K1 billion)," Solomon Islands Minister for Culture and Tourism Samuel Manetoali said.
"These companies include big names such as Bank South Pacific, East New Britain Oil Palm, Bmobile and Lamana Hotel, among others. The number is expected to increase in the future.
Manetoali was speaking at the Solomon Islands 36th Independence celebrations at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Port Moresby on Monday night.
He said his Government intends to remove visa restrictions through a bilateral agreement as well as under the backing of the Melanesian Spearhead Group arrangement, which would facilitate and enhance the important area of people to people relationships.
"The negotiation between PNG and Solomon Islands on investment protection and commercial avenue is ongoing. The fourth and final round of negotiations will be held in PNG after which the agreement will be concluded and signed.
Manetoali expressed gratitude to the PNG Government for offering 800 scholarships to Solomon Islands students to study in PNG through the MOU on education and human resource development that was signed in Honiara in May.
He said many students from his country have been and are being educated in PNG's higher learning institutions.


Countries are constructs designed to better manage man's affairs, and not to separate mankind and pit people against people; and no one, except God, owns these countries because no human created the earth.
Even with their imaginary borders, countries are not delineated to be the exclusive domains of specific groups or races.
That is why God is constantly stirring the pot.
It is true that if God wanted countries to have immovable borders, He would have carved them into the earth for all to see. But He didn't.
It is also true that nation-states are a fairly new concept. They were engineered by European powers to facilitate the reining in of their own territories and Empires. Prior to that mostly city-states existed, and people freely moved about from one city-state to the next.
It is also very true that today things are quite different. We have now more people alive than at any other time in history – billions of people to be exact. Imagine thousands upon thousands of people marching from one country to another. The result would be quite chaotic for the region being invaded.
Therefore, a certain type of border control in every nation is desirable until every country is economically self-sustainable and at peace. Once that happens everyone's borders would be quiet, except for the normal flow of businessmen and tourists.
We can even envision a time when the great flow of earthlings will no longer require visas or passports, because no one will be afraid of foreigners anymore since every country's economy will be doing peachy (funny how people allow money to change their perspective).
In turn, this will bring about a global fraternity of fellow men: one that could possibly engender a world with no countries, no borders, and no oppressive and ineffective central governments, just local governing councils.
Humanity will then become ONE nation again, just like it was before God divided it into many nations at the Tower of Babel; this time employing Jesus as the catalyst for this borderless reunion.
Still, that doesn't mean God is getting rid of the various cultures and races – though if He decided to do so, it would be His prerogative. In essence, all it truly means is that God is uniting mankind through love and brotherhood, using Jesus our Lord.
Consequently, a xenophobic and bigoted control of any country's current borders, which removes all trace of human and Christian compassion, is to be rejected. Such control is callous and turns those who enforce it into beasts.
Imagine for a moment that Jacob and his eleven sons were denied entry into Egypt, as they sought to survive the seven-year famine. Imagine also that Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, as they fled Herod's wrath in Judah, were turned away at the border of Egypt.
Unimaginable, isn't it? If they were hindered, it would have been heartless.
In all things there must be balance.
As a community, as a country, as a world we must decide how far we are willing to go to impede the migrating tide of our fellow men.
While mulling over so fateful a decision, we should keep this in mind: we don't own this earth, we don't own anything. Let's not act as if we're God, and as if everything around us is to satisfy our own selfish ambitions.
The whole of earth is for all of mankind.
So let us use wisdom when deciding on things that will affect others, because one day, instead of them being the migrants, it could be us or our children.
In general, no one really wants to leave their home country, unless they are forced to do so either for political (war included) or economic reasons. Therefore, in order for every country's borders to be at peace, mostly two things are needed.
1. Whenever the US Empire props up a foreign dictator that is oppressing its populace, no one should be surprised when people from that dictator's country scurry over to the US. Remember the deluge of Haitian and Cuban boat people? Well, the US supported both Duvalier and Batista and imposed an embargo on Fidel Castro's Cuba.
2. The US Empire also helped fix the Mexican elections against the populist Andres Manuel Lopes Obrador in July 2006, because they wanted to keep the oil safe for American interests by stopping another Hugo Chavez type.
Likewise the US "Justice" Department activated their Fast & Furious operation, which had the corrupt DEA selling powerful weapons to drug cartels on the Mexican border. Yes, you read right. The US government was doing business with drug dealers and murderers, but as always they had an excuse: it was a sting operation, they said. The perfect lie since no one in these cartels got arrested.
Still, many Mexican border towns became ghost towns because of these cartels and their collusion with governments on both sides of the border.
"In the abandoned and burned-out remains of Guadalupe (town), former residents see a scorched-earth policy: The state colluded with capitalists and criminals, they say, to empty the area of both residents and industry so that large binational groups could swoop in and develop huge infrastructure projects on valuable borderlands rich in natural resources," reported Aljazeera.
Where do you think the people of these abandoned towns went?
3. When France's African Empire collapsed, its oppressed people were left in abject misery after decades of subjugation. So tens of thousands packed up and left for France. Where else were they supposed to go? They spoke French now.
4. The US and its allies in Europe, wagged by the monstrous state of Israel, are currently destroying Syria (and most of the Middle East) with terrorist groups they finance. Why? To benefit Israel. After years of war in which 300,000 Syrians have been killed and wounded, with millions either displaced or refugees, Syrian emigrants are now making their way inside Europe and causing massive jitters throughout the West. Seriously, what did they expect?
Second, instead of casting stones rich countries should genuinely help poor countries in their struggle, and not take advantage of them via thieving and warmongering organizations such as World Bank, WTO, IMF, NATO, Pentagon, etc.
These predators are choking the very life out of underdeveloped nations: "development" banks with their usurious system impose harsh conditions that are unrealistic and difficult to meet, while the other groups sneak in their imperialistic and militaristic agendas via bias trade agreements, skewed foreign policies, and occupation-style military bases.
These money and power hungry wolves are willfully undermining these countries and holding them back from the very progress they seek.
If true and constructive help is provided, without meddling in these poor nations' internal affairs, then illegals and refugees – economic or otherwise – could become a thing of the past.
The foreigner brings to a land a fresh pair of eyes, which allows him to see things in a whole new light. Therefore he can either be a force for positive change if he's welcomed or for evil if he's persecuted.
America, known as The Melting Pot, is the land of foreigners. It is also God's laboratory, whereby He is demonstrating and proving to the naysayers the feasibility of a unified brotherhood of diverse races.
Imagine then what the countries of the world would look like if they followed America's example. Imagine also what the world itself could be like if it became borderless.
Meanwhile, let us not despise the foreigners who come knocking at our borders, while caring for and doing unto them what we'd like them to do unto us; especially since we are all descendants of our forefather Adam and his wife Eve, hence one family.
No, it is not true. Even in the ancient times many Empires existed that tried to controll their borders and fought neighbours for more territories. ( Egypt,Babilonia,Persia etc).
So blaming the Europeans for protecting their borders and keeping up the law and order is very odd.
No one is denying that Empires existed. However, we're talking about nation-states versus city-states. Even Egypt, Babylonia, or Persia were Empires that revolved around their main city-states. These Empires were entities that forced themselves on other city-states mostly of different origins. They were more interested in tributes/taxes that these city-states could provide the Emperor, not so much in territory per se. The whole idea of these Empires was to collect revenue. That's why their tributaries were called vassal states.
As for your concern with the Europeans, maybe they should have thought not to invade other people's countries to enlarge their Empires, pillage their resources, and cause the suffering of Millions. Aren't you looking at this one-sidedly? We don't see you blaming the European powers for that. You conveniently ignore the whole spirit of the article as we are not blaming anyone for keeping law and order. You are twisting things around to advance your agenda – whatever that agenda is. We're not biting.
One earth. One family. One God and Jesus whom He sent. One great article.
Hey, love your site. Very interesting reading.
Before I get to the meat of my comment I will say that based on your premise of not screwing with other nations, I understand that we may not receive as much 'blowback'.
1) This article has a slight stench of political correctness. It reminds me of the multiculturalism that our Babylonian Talmudic overlords like to present to us goyim. One of your comments also displayed the typical 'evil white man' meme.
2) I do believe nations should be relatively homogenous. That is what a nation is, after all. God separated the nations at Babylon and in Revelation 21:24-27, the new earth has nations and kings and they bring glory and honour into the holy city of Jerusalem.
3) We should, as nations, accept Christ and help other nations instead of subdue them. Unfortunately, we live in a fallen world. There are ideologies we fight against, for example Judaism and Islam, that work to destroy the minds and bodies of Christians.
4) Should we allow the falsely named 'jews' of this world to run our financial institutions and allow the immigration of millions of Islamics who hold to an ideology that is hostile to us and seek to kill our bodies?
5) Are we allowed to defend ourselves, our families and our larger national families from harm that would surely come from the Islamic world that our leaders are importing into our midst? Is it not the responsibility of the men to protect from physical harm as well as from false religions?
I ask in humility, brother, that you may shed biblical light on this subject for me.
1) The stench of political correctness you smell is coming from your own bigoted nose. It is the type of political correctness that wants itself to be correct above the truth of God's love. Where you got in the article or our comments that we blame the white man is beyond unscrupulous of you. Trying to put words in our mouths. It appears you don't want the powers that be to be held responsible for their actions.
2) Really? You believe in nations being homogenous? You can believe it all you want because there's not one country on earth that is homogenous in its racial composition. There are variations of many races within every border on earth. Might as well go live in a cave. Did you ever think that God is the one doing that? He is in control of all events brewing throughout the earth and the universe. For you to try to stop it with your "belief" is a futile exercise.
So God is bringing humanity around to become ONE again like at the Tower of Babel in Babylon when they were ONE before he separated them into nations.
Still, that doesn't mean that God is getting rid of races and cultures. All it means is God is uniting mankind in the spirit of love and brotherhood.
3) Islam? You've been drinking the Kool-Aid from the media, haven't you? Funny how for centuries we never had any problem with Muslims until Israel moved in the neighborhood. Any investigator worth his salt would look at the panorama and zoom in on Israel: THE PROBLEM. All the so-called terrorist acts are Israeli false flag operations.
4) As for the financial institutions that are run by Jews, like Jesus we say, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." Money is controlled by the principalities of Hell, so they gave control of these financial institutions to the ones who look like them. When God thinks true Christians, with no vanity and selfishness in their hearts, are ready to take control of these financial institutions and turn them around, He will kick out the money changers and their demons like He did in the Jerusalem Temple. All in good time.
As for the "millions" of Islamic migrants, stop exaggerating. We think you forgot that W Bush killed over one million Iraqis and started the process of destroying the Middle East to fulfill the Jewish agenda, which Obama picked up and which the next President will pick up as well. If you were a Muslim, wouldn't you want to take your family to a country that's not being destroyed? And you call yourself a Christian? IF YOU ARE, then where's your COMPASSION and LOVE? Only a selfish bigot wants what's good to himself. Besides, maybe God saw that no Christian is going to the Middle East to get these people saved, so He's sending them over to us to preach to them. Didn't you say you want everyone saved? And what is this nonsense about defending oneself from false religions? Seriously? If you are secure in your Christian beliefs, nothing can shake you and thus there's nothing to defend. Jesus and the Apostles were killed for their faith and they never tried to "physically" defend themselves. How deep is your bigotry?
5) Oh, that's how deep it is. Here you go again with the Muslims. We think you are a bigot pretending to be a Christian so that you can sneak in your anti-Islam propaganda. SHAME ON YOU.
You didn't ask in humility. We can only hope you did. Because where there's humility, there's love, compassion, and understanding.
If our reply seems harsh to you, it is because you say you are a Christian. And no Christian can afford bigotry in his heart. We hope to have dislodged it out of your heart so you can replace it with Christ's compassion.
With His love, we bid you farewell.
Re: your other submitted comment.
We really appreciate you and all others who reach out as it helps us discover whatever blind spots our articles may have. However, you need to take a step back.
We suggest you meditate on both our updated reply and article above, while reading as many articles as you can on our site – like Jesus and the Sword, All Wars Are Evil.Period, and of course praying and reading God's word.
Beware lest anything be contrary to love!
I have been thinking about your response and still come to the conclusion that you are mistaken on the national aspect of God's plan as well as your idea on property.
Regarding the issue of property, I believe it is unmistakable that humans are supposed to own things. The 8th commandment says you shall not steal. You can't steal it if nobody owns it. Obviously, everything we are blessed with comes from God and we are to be good stewards of the Earth.
So my understanding is that God is the ultimate owner of all things because He created everything. He gives us the stewardship to look after His property so other people should not rob the other of their managerial position given to them by God.
God does not bring the nations together physically, that is Satanic. We are in a spiritual brotherhood with all nations that believe in Christ.
There are clearly still nations in the new Earth, with their respective kings. Nation (Ethnos) states are instituted by God.
How can you reconcile the fact that Satan pushes for multiculturalism in Babylon and the "Jews" today push for multiculturalism yet you say this is God's plan for humanity?
1) We do not discount that people can own things. You are just putting words in our mouths to somehow strengthen your weak unbiblical position. We can own properties and things. It's just that God doesn't want our hearts attached to them, like yours is.
2) Countries are constructs to better manage man's affairs. They were not designed to separate mankind. For instance, the US is divided as Federal, state, and local. It is to better manage the affairs of the people.
3) Nobody owns countries. The bible didn't assign Canada, the USA, Venezuela, etc. to anyone. When the bible refers to nations, it's talking about one's descendants.
The descendants of Abraham God was talking about was the 12 Ancient Hebrew Tribes or 12 families, all related.
And that goes for your quoting Revelation and the new earth as well. All nations mean all families.
4) You say, "God does not bring the nations together physically, that is Satanic." Whoa!
Careful, the demons are whispering in your ear.
5) In re: to multiculturalism that you think Satan is pushing – well, Satan is in jail, how can he be pushing anything? You're the one pushing your deluded, hate-filled demonic fantasy.
Excellent article, all of which I thoroughly agree, except the part about God, who doesn't exist. Waiting for an imaginary, all-powerful entity to solve our problems is probably not constructive. People created the nation state, and the concepts of race and racism, and the concepts of deserve and entitled. It needs to be people who change these ideas, not some imaginary friend who lives in the sky.
Thanks for the compliment. However, just because you believe God does not exist… [lol, forgive us, we had to stop and laugh] does not make you right. The sad thing is, even though you don't believe in Him, you do His will every day. Still, you come out with a straight face and say He doesn't exist… [lol, sorry again]. It's too funny.
See why we're laughing here. And thanks for reaching out.
1. This is the scariest article that I have ever read in my lifetime.
2. When Jesus was asked if he was the King of this World by Pilate, he said that he was not of this world.
3. When 3rd temptation to fight by the devil (Satan) at the time when Jesus Christ ( Son of God, Son of Man) was brought to the high place and told to bow to the devil in order to rule the kingdoms of the world, Jesus refused the kingdoms.
4. There is no way that anything in our home Existence is of any plan of God's Desire for us. This World is not fixable. All we have is faith and prayer. We barely have each other. Sometimes we don't. I do try to make myself perfect which is vain. Making a perfect world even if achievable for a moment without Jesus Christ is the ultimate vanity. The devil tried and lost.
1. Why is the article scary? Because it's the truth? Because you now realize you have an obligation to make this world a better place?
2. Jesus's Kingdom may not be OF this world, but He came to establish it IN this world.
3. Jesus did not come to get anything from the devil, he came to destroy the works of the devil.
4. God's desire for us in this world is to do His will, which is to do His business until He returns.
If you're not working toward perfection, then you're NOT a Christian.
Jesus commanded us to be perfect, which won't happen overnight: it's a lifetime endeavor.
And nowhere in this article where we say that making a perfect world can be done without Jesus. NOWHERE. So don't put words in our mouths. It is quite clear where we say that Jesus is the catalyst for it.
