text: Human rights: Extrajudicial complaint mechanisms particularily suitable Mark 0 Mar 20, 2017 0 Press Release (ePRNews.com) - VIENNA, Austria - Mar 20, 2017 - Reconciling corporate interests with human rights is a difficult endeavour. A research project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF demonstrates that non-judicial complaint mechanisms may be an adequate avenue for conflict resolution.For a number of years, companies have been facing increased pressure when it comes to human rights violations. Numerous multinational corporations such as Shell Oil, Texaco or Unocal were accused of such violations, resulting in years of legal disputes and public campaigns harming their reputation. "Balancing human rights and corporate interests can often be problematic", explains Claudia Sprenger. She was part of a team led by principal investigator Karin Lukas from the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Human Rights, together with Barbara Linder and Astrid Kutrzeba, which conducted a three-year research project funded by the FWF to explore what strategies might best be used for conflict resolution where human rights violations occur in a business environment. The researchers from Vienna focused on non-judicial complaint mechanisms. Unlike states, which are subjects of international law, corporations are not subjected to legally binding international instruments, but they are bound by national laws. "It's rare for cases to make it to the courtroom, and if they do the proceedings are usually lengthy, complex and don't lead to satisfactory outcomes", underlines Karin Lukas, a human rights expert.UN Guiding Principles and case analysesCurrently, several initiatives at global level have been endeavouring to create standards for responsibilities transnational enterprises must assume in respect of human rights. In 2011, the United Nations Human Rights Council unanimously endorsed the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights developed within the "Protect, Respect, Remedy" framework. Following comprehensive case analyses and interviews with experts as well as people responsible for this issue in the business world, the team from the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute has identified important indicators for sustainably translating recommendations such as the UN Guiding Principles into the reality of business life. In order to do that, the researchers reviewed the settlement of real-life complaints, vetting them for their strength and weaknesses, both on the part of corporations such as Adidas and Hewlett Packard and of multi-stakeholder bodies and international institutions such as the World Bank and the OECD.Trust and co-operationOne of these multi-stakeholder bodies is the well-known "Fair Wear Foundation", an organisation composed of companies, NGOs and trade unions, which champions equitable working conditions in garment factories worldwide. "The strength of organisations such as 'Fair Wear' resides in the fact that they have people in the field who speak the local language and can establish a relationship of trust with the people concerned", says Claudia Sprenger. Such initiatives are often more effective than those taken by international organisations or corporations, because they bring together many players. In order to address the root causes of problems, such as the particularly difficult issue of monitoring supply chains, additional elements are required: apart from building trust, more co-operation among all stakeholders and additional initiatives and follow-up measures would be required, notes Sprenger in her summary of the project results.Even though non-judicial resolution mechanisms are slow in gaining ground, companies are increasingly aware of their responsibility in the global play of forces between the interests of the local population, policy-makers and business partners. In 2014, Adidas set up the Third Party Complaint Process for breaches to the Adidas Group Workplace Standards or violations of international human rights norms, to quote just one example of a corporate effort to safeguard human rights.New recommendations for good practiceThe results of the FWF project confirm that the resolution criteria laid down in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights are actually effective. The experts from the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute also identified a number of other so-called "excellence criteria". Complaint mechanisms should address the underlying structural problems and not merely fight the symptoms. "Problems are often similar in nature, such as people not being able to choose which trade union they want to join", Sprenger observes from her practical experience. Companies should seek to establish a dialogue with stakeholders and engage mediators. Furthermore, the mechanisms should be transparent and independent and take local contexts into account. The chosen resolution routes should be geared to international standards and not just offer financial compensation. According to the project team, a successful mechanism is characterised by the involvement of all stakeholders in the negotiations and a fair and equitable negotiating process."Implementation of what has been agreed on is a great challenge. Some of the mechanisms we investigated did prove successful in doing that", says Lukas. In their book "Corporate Accountability", the researchers set out their findings with a view to facilitating the balancing of corporate interests and human rights in the future. The book includes the outcomes of the FWF project, all case analyses and the resulting recommendations. http://scilog.fwf.ac.at/en Source : Austrian Science Fund FWFYou may also like this CATEGORIES : Business Tags : research DISCLAIMER : If you have any concerns regarding this press release, please contact the Author / Media Contact / Business of this press release. ePRNews is not resposible for the accuracy of the news posted and do not endorse, support any product/services/business mentioned and hereby disclaims any content contained in this press release.

I have noticed this for a while in CS:GO. Even at 165 Hz, I have to cap the FPS at 125 in order to remove ALL screen tearing at the bottom of the screen. 144, 150, 155, 160, 165 Hz, it's all the same. On the workshop map "training_aim_csgo2", the tearing is very obvious with the black and green menu.
I noticed this again when I was watching videos in Media Player .NET (MPDN) with VSYNC forced off in the Nvidia Control Panel. It was screen tearing half way through the screen and was fixed with 125 FPS limit, even though the refresh rate was synced to 24 FPS or whatever the video was at.

Are the acts of adultery, murder, stealing, homosexuality sin?
Or are these acts the consequence of sin?

Are the acts of adultery, murder, stealing, homosexuality sin?
Or are these acts the consequence of sin?
I have an interesting question. I was married for 18years and had 2 Daughters through my marriage. We had some troubles but dealt with them. Well later on in our Marriage, my Husband backslid. He started drinking & doing drugs. And without my knowledge he was drugging me. Most on here know the story of how he Drugged me , got our oldest daughter drunk and raped her. I know he fell very very hard and caused her to turn her back on God aNd her family. If he confesses his sins, is he to be welcome into Gods kingdom or Would it be better for him to have a millstone tied to his neck and habe him cast into the sea. Is he redeamable. For murderers can be redeamed, can a person who has harmed the ones he was sworn to protect able to go into Gods kingdom. See I have forgiven him because he isn't worth me going to hell over. But I would really like to have answerS on this subject. Thank You & may god bless those who hear and can answer my question. Love your sis in Christ Jesus, Annette
as long as a person can feel God's conviction pulling them back they can be forgiven and saved.unless the Spirit draweth,no man can be saved,although some people after they begin to see their terrible crimes,will be so full of guilt,they refuse even then,like Judus,after he betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver,instead of seeking repentance,hung himself over the huge weight of his sin,therefore hell is hot.
I wondered if he would be able to come back to the lord. Because he caused our Daughter to stumble. And many told me that he had no chance of reaching heaven. I just didn't know if that was so. Because. There waS a time when he walked & lived in the spirit of God. I don't know why he fell & I don't want him back, but I don't. Wish to see anyone in hell!
He can be redeemed. "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us of ALL unrighteousness."
Of course, if his sin caused your daughter to stumble, it may be that his repentance toward God and her would also bring her to reconciliation with God and himself. With God all thing are possible. She is responsible to forgive him… without getting religious, encourage her to forgive for her own sake, and let her know how sorry you are that you let your guard down enough for your husband to hurt her. You probably have done this, but just saying, this is where her healing starts… How many people did Saul cause to turn from the faith in fear for their lives? Yet, he was forgiven.
Hi Annette
Here are some verses concerning the actions of your ex-husband.
This is the verse some use to say a Christian can sin, like your ex-husband has, then by simply confessing his sin, God is then bound to forgive him.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
These are the verses some use to say a Christian cannot sin.
Heb 6:4-6
4) For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5) And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6) If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Heb 10:26-29
26) For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27) But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28) He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29) Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
You alone can make the judgement of the situation better than anyone else, and where he now stands in relation to his ability to confess and find a place of repentance again.
Be Blessed
Good point Jim. If he was a Christian before in his heart or not, then becomes the question. This is where all these debates really come together, because we all read it from the outside in. "Was he a Christian in the first place?" is really only a question God, not even Annette, can answer. We may judge it one way or the other and then predetermine whether or not he can repent, which is to say, we can presume to know his heart before he went into perdition and use our diagnosis to answer 'part b'. Only God knows….
This type of reasoning often sets the paradigms we work out of when we debate "can a Christian sin?"
In Reply to :"I do not believe it is possible, to come to the same Interpretation as I have here, because of the different words used within the NIV, the NIV just seems to be weak, as opposed to the KJV."
This is out of context, but i want to say that NIV, KJV or any other version is a WORD OF GOD..we must come to the same interpretation.I like NIV version b'cos that is only version i understand easily.
An answer to the question "Which is the best Bible ?"
A USED Bible..
"I like NIV version b'cos that is only version i understand easily."
This brings to mind the man who lost his watch walking home one night. It was an expensive watch and he and his travelling companion began to search in earnest. After a while, his partner says, "you have been searching under that sidewalk lamp for 15 minutes now, going back and forth, back and forth. Don't you think you should expand your search?" to which his fried replied, "Its easier to see in the light."
The NIV may be easier to understand, but the question is whether what we are understanding is actually the Word of God, or a convenient subversion of it?
This is not to address the topic you are talking of, but simply a word on translation. I have little confidence in the NIV and I will be so bold as to say that had it been my translation years ago, my wife and I would have found to reason to believe God for children and to press through… now, happily, we have four children, where we had zero for over 15 years of marriage.
Psalm 119:105 – Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
I have searched for God in the light of His Word ( Bible).
In reply to : "I have little confidence in the NIV"
After reading the Bible (NIV), I have found Confidence only in JESUS!!
Hi Shanta
I'm not attempting to start a controversy, I Googled this so you could see for yourself what I was talking about. It is short, and will give you some idea as to what other things you might be missing as well.

Another incident we see the Sin of Adultery & Murder is in 2 Samuel chapter 11.
1) 2 Sam11:2-3 One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, 3 and David sent someone to find out about her.(EVIL DESIRE CONCEIVED).
2) 2 Sam 11:3-4 The man said, "She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite." 4 Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her.(EVIL ACTIONS ON EVIL DESIRE).
3) 2 Sam 11:14-15 In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. 15 In it he wrote, "Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die."(SIN FULLY GROWN).
God loved David as a 'Man after His own Heart', however He took away his son born of adultery (Consequence of Sin).
In the light of James chapter 1 verse13,14,& 15
13 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own EVIL DESIRE and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
I would like to summaries
1) Sin is breaking of God's Law.
2) It finds its roots in our heart (Evil desire conceived)… if not checked & uprooted(in JESUS's Name)…gives birth to Sin (actions on evil desire).
3) When Sin is fully grown (Further actions on evil desire) gives birth to death (Separation from God).
In Christ
As you have mentioned ""it's not from our evil desire, even that is not sin, we can have evil desire all day long, but until that desire is finally acted upon it is nothing more than just that, evil desire."
1) I want to know what did Jesus mean in Mat.5:27 ""You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'e 28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart".
2) The first Murder : Cain murders his brother Able
In Gen. 4:3-5 "Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor.
Why did God accept Abel's offering and not Cain's ? Was there any GOOD DESIRE CONCEIVED in Abel's heart & EVIL DESIRE CONCEIVED in Cain's heart ?
Later we read " So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. 6Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it." 8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field."[d] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
childofjesus wrote: >>I want to know what did Jesus mean in Mat.5:27 ""You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'e 28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart".<< Jesus was saying that if you would have sexual intercourse with someone whom you are not married to (forbidden fruit), then you have committed adultery of the heart whether you actually carried it out or not. This is not, however, referring to mere sexual desire if you would under no circumstances act upon it; you're just being tempted, and the love of God restrains that desire so it doesn't become lust.
Hi Shanta
Sorry about the delay in answering your question.
The only thing being different between Cain and Able's offering, was the fact is says
Gen 4:3,4
3) And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain (BROUGHT OF THE FRUIT OF THE GROUND) an offering unto the LORD.
4) And Abel, he also (BROUGHT OF THE FIRSTLINGS OF HIS FLOCK) and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
It appears as though Able chose a more perfect gift, being the first of his flock, not just some from his flock.
First could have two meanings.
1) The first born.of his flock
2) The best of his flock
No good or evil desire, that would be reading into the text something that isn't even inferred.
Be Blessed
Hi Shanta
I do not believe it is as simple as some would have us believe, look at the context of some of the related verses of the chapter.
Mat 5:28
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Jesus appears to be teaching the multitudes about the severity of the law, in order to free them from it.
Jesus started off by telling them.
Mat 5:17,18
17) Think not that (I AM NOT COME TO DESTROY THE LAW), or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, (BUT TO FULFILL).
18) For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, (TILL ALL BE FULFILLED).
Jesus then began to make them aware of just what the law entailed, showing them that God actually required more than He ever commanded them in the law, and they couldn't even do those things.
Jesus would then, show them by His own example, what he was talking about, by going to the cross.
Mat 5:19,20
19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20) For I say unto you, That (EXCEPT YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL EXCEED) the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:21,22
21) Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, (THOU SHALT NOT KILL); and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22) But I say unto you, That (WHOSOEVER IS ANGRY WITH HIS BROTHER WITHOUT A CAUSE) shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Mat 5:27,28
27) Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, (THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY):
28) But I say unto you, That (WHOSOEVER LOOKETH UPON A WOMAN TO LUST) after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Mat 5:33-35
33) Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, (THOU SHALT NOT FORSWARE THYSELF, BUT PERFORM UNTO THE LORD THINE OATHS):
34) But I say unto you, (SWARE NOT AT ALL); neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35) Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
Mat 5:38,39
38) Ye have heard that it hath been said, (AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH):
39) But I say unto you, That (YE RESIST NOT EVIL): but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Mat 5:43-45
43) Ye have heard that it hath been said, (THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR, AND HATE THINE ENEMY).
44) But I say unto you, (LOVE YOUR ENEMYS, BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU);
45) (THAT YOU MAY BE THE CHILDREN OF YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN): for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Mat 5:48
This last verse is the some total of all the others. We shouldn't place to much emphasis on any one verse, because if you break one law you are guilty of the whole law. God requires us to go beyond the law, to fulfill the spirit of the law not just the letter.
This task we can and do accomplish through Jesus Christ which strengthens us.
Be Blessed
"Are the acts of adultery, murder, stealing, homosexuality sin? Or are these acts the consequence of sin?"
I believe the question itself is not accurate to biblical description. I would tweak it to ask,
"Are the acts of adultery, murder, stealing, homosexuality sin? Or are these acts the manifestations of sin?"
The question posed places an assumption of it is "either/or". A manifestation is implicitly part of the object it manifests, where a consequence is a singular reaction that follows a singular action.
Jesus says that sin is not just sin outwardly
Mat 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Mat 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Jesus was indeed addressing sin here. Outwardly, they were sinless, "what have we done now?" they would ask, and according to the law, there was no transgression to dispute. BUT, they were in spiritual sin because their hearts were not aligned to the Lord.
This happens in the church all the time and we brush it off, much like they did. We can be angry at those who have sinned against us, and as long as we don't say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, we act as though we are clean. YET, Jesus says, if we do not forgive our debtors FROM THE HEART, our debt will not be forgiven.
Jesus also says, in Matthew 15:18-19:
"But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:"
"I can lust after a woman, just so long as I do not act out on it." is a mindset some go around with…. afterall, "I'm a redblooded male, or female, what does God expect???" True answer – He expects us to take our thoughts captive and to honor Him by honoring our brothers and sisters he has created, and not viewing them as objects to fuel our sexual desires.
Adultery, Murder, Stealing are the outward SINptoms of the inward Sin, which God judges. For God is spirit, and desires those who worship him to worship in spirit and in truth.
Thats how I understand it.
Hi Tim
The effect, result, or outcome of something occurring earlier:
Consequence as a result
Example in the natural.
The accident was the consequence of reckless driving.
Example in the spiritual
The act of committing Adultery, is the consequence of Transgressing the law against Adultery.
The state of being manifested
An indication or sign
Example in the natural
The indication of the existence, reality, or presence of something, such as an illness
Example in the spiritual
The act of giving is a manifestation of love, but giving, is not the only way in which love can be manifested.
You are absolutely correct when you say.
"The question posed places an assumption of it is "either/or"."
The question was designed to find out whether people believed, if the commission of these acts was sin, or is sin actually something else altogether.
To put is simply, is your preference, chickens or eggs?
1Jn 3:4
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for (SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW).
This then is my stance, the things we do, is not what constitutes sin in our lives, the sin manifests itself, when in our hearts, we make the decision to commit the act.
It is therefore at that moment, we Transgress the Law, causing the consequence of our sin, ie, "the act."
To quote a very smart man, "Singular reaction follows a singular action."
Jas 1:15
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Be Blessed
And just how am I supposed to have a cogent discourse with you, when you are being so logical? 🙂
You are tying sin to actions, am I correct? I gather this from your statement that it is sin when we "make the decision to commit the act." When someone lusts after a woman, does this only mean when they sin only when they commit themselves to consumate the physical act?
Hi Tim
A Parallel example.
Gen 22:1,2
1) And it came to pass after these things, that (GOD DID TEMPT ABRAHAM), and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
2) And he said, (TAKE NOW THY SON), thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; (AND OFFER HIM THERE FOR A BURNT OFFERING) upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Gen 22:9,10
9) And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10) And Abraham (STRETCHED FORTH HIS HAND, AND TOOK THE KNIFE TO SLAY HIS SON).
Gen 22:11,12
11) And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12) And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: (FOR NOW I KNOW THAT YOU FEAREST GOD), (SEEING THOU HAST NOT WITHHELD THY SON), thine only son from me.
From these verses we see.
1) God tempted Abraham
2) God told Abraham to sacrifice his only son.
3) When Abraham took the knife to slay his son God stopped him.
4) God said he now knew that Abraham feared God.
Therefore the questions and the answers are.
1) When did God know Abraham was going to slay Isaac?
When Abraham had decided, (determined) within his heart to slay Isaac.
2) What was the moment God knew Abraham would indeed slay Isaac?
The moment the act was manifested, (conceived) within the heart of Abraham to do so..
3) How did God know Abraham did not with-hold his son?
Within the heart of Abraham he was willing to sacrifice his son.
4) How did God know Abraham feared God?
Within the heart of Abraham he believed God.
My point is.
Everything happened within the heart of Abraham.
Abraham only reached for the knife, once he had determined within his heart, he was going to believe the promise of God, even when what he was about to do went against logic, Abraham's heart was full of the act he was about to commit. This action by Abraham was not an act of sin, but of belief and faith, that God would perform the promise He had made. God looks upon the heart, and judges the heart.
Just as with us, everything happens within the heart of man.
Mar 7:20-23
20) And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21) For from within, (OUT OF THE HEART OF MEN), proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22) Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23) (ALL THESE EVIL THINGS COME FROM WITHIN), and defile the man.
In answer to the question, this is from my post.
"The question was designed to find out whether people believed, if the commission of these acts was sin, or is sin actually something else altogether."
The only way I am tying sin to actions, is to say, the SIN, has already been committed in the heart of man, the moment the decision has been made to carry out the action.
But in regard to the reference of the man who would lust after a woman, the scripture speaks for itself.
This type of sin is within the heart itself, it is a sin of lust, no action necessary.
Mat 5:28
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her
Within the heart of man, is where sin abides.
The Sin, is the Transgression of the Law, not in the actions we commit.
Be Blessed
As i was thinking about this question, i looked James 1:15 " Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.", so it our desire (evil), that gives birth to sin..So i would say that the sin of adultery, murder, stealing, homosexuality are the consequences of our evil desire..
Hi Shanta
Thank you for your response, it's not from our evil desire, even that is not sin, we can have evil desire all day long, but until that desire is finally acted upon it is nothing more than just that, evil desire.
The word we should be aware of that identifies what SIN actually is, is (TRANSGRESSION), this is the breaking of the law God has set.
Gen 2:16,17
16) (AND THE LORD GOD COMMANDED THE MAN), saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17) But (OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, THOU SHALT NOT EAT OF IT): for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for (SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW).
Our actions, such as adultery, murder, homosexuality are not sin, in and of themselves.
When we do not obey Gods' law, we Rebel against Gods' Authority, and His right to set law.
Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Rom 8:7 Because (THE CARNAL MIND) is enmity against God: for it (IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAW OF GOD), neither indeed can be.
To subordinate; reflexively to obey: – be under obedience (obedient), put under, subdue unto, (be, make) subject (to, unto), be (put) in subjection (to, under), submit self unto.
Upon the fall of Adam, mankind acquired a sinful nature, because of this sinful nature, mankind is in a constant state of Rebellion against God, and thereby in Transgression of Gods' laws.
Joh 8:34
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
We are the servants of sin from birth.
A slave (literally or figuratively, (INVOLUNTARILY or VOLINTARILY); frequently therefore in a qualified sense of subjection or subserviency): – bond (-man), servant.
1Co 7:22
For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
All of mankind from Adam, being born with a sinful nature, will Transgress the Law of God (SIN).
Rom 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Rom 5:12
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Even after receiving Salvation, Christians will still Transgress, because even though they walk in the spirit, they are still in the body of the flesh.
Rom 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Rom 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin (TRANSGRESSION) that dwelleth in me.
Rom 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Rom 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Rom 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin (TRANSGRESSION) which is in my members.
Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin (TRANSGRESSION).
Rom 5:13
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin (TRANSGRESSION) is not imputed when there is no law.
Rom 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me (FREE FROM) the law of sin (TRANSGRESSION) and death.

Hi Jim!!
You have beautifully explained what 'Sin' is ? that is 'Breaking of God's Law'..
In James 1:15 "Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." So i want to know how does a desire is conceived ? how does it grow ?
(I love this bible study..i'm still learning..)
Hi Shanta
Your question.
"So I want to know how does a desire is conceived ? how does it grow ?"
Jas 1:14,15
14) But every man is (1)(TEMPTED), when he is drawn away of his own (2)(LUST), and (3)(ENTICED).
15) Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth (4)(SIN): and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth (5)DEATH).
The words dealt with within these two verses are.
From the base of G4008 (through the idea of piercing); a test, that is, attempt, experience: – assaying, trial.
(to "peirce"); through, across: – beyond, farther (other) side, over.
From G1937; a longing (especially for what is forbidden): – concupiscence, desire, lust (after).
From G2372; to set the heart upon, that is, long for (rightfully or otherwise): – covet, desire, lust (after).
From the base of G1388; to entrap, (figuratively) delude: – allure, beguile.
To decoy; a trick (bait), (figuratively) wile: – craft, deceit, guile, subtlety.
From G264; sin – offence, sin (-ful).
Properly to miss the mark, (figuratively) to err, especially to sin: – offend, trespass.
From G2348; death (literally or figuratively): – deadly, (be dead) death.
To die (literally or figuratively): – be dead, die.
When man is Enticed (Tricked) by his own Lust (Desire), he is Tempted (Tried) but when Temptation comes into union with Lust, the conception of Sin (Trespass) takes place, Lust then brings forth that Sin to life, and Sin when it has come to it's end, causes him Death (To Die).
Rom 7:11
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
NOTE ON DEFINITION FROM 1939 LUST – – bringeth forth death
I did not list this part of the definition of Lust with the others, I wanted to show you something I find to be really neat.
This definition goes further on, where G1937 left off. Take special note of the last line of G2380
From G2380; passion (as if breathing hard): – fierceness, indignation, wrath.
A primary verb; properly to rush (breathe hard, blow, smoke), that is, (by implication) to sacrifice (properly by fire, but generally); by extension to immolate (slaughter for any purpose): – kill, (do) sacrifice, slay.
I am assuming you are using the NIV of the bible.
I would like to show you something.
What I wanted to show you were a couple of things, that is why I posted the definitions.
1) The Bible is a book of WORDS, these words have special meaning, in relation to the other words they are used in conjunction with.
2) The proper usage of a particular word in the Bible text, can open up a whole world of deeper knowledge and understanding you would never have believed possible.
Rom 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
3) I do not believe it is possible, to come to the same Interpretation as I have here, because of the different words used within the NIV, the NIV just seems to be weak, as opposed to the KJV.
James 1:14,15
14) but each person is (TEMPTED) when they are dragged away by their own (EVIL DESIRE)and enticed.
15) Then, after (DESIRE)has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

- Qualcomm MSM8909 Snapdragon 210
- 5″ 720p display
- 2000 mAh battery
- Includes Glance Screen support
- No dedicated camera button
- microSD card slot
The 5inch 720p display sounds about right for a phone in the Lumia 6xx series, as well as the microSD card slot and 2000mAh battery.
The metal frame and lack of a camera button are consistent of Lumia phones in this range.
I particularly love that the speakers are on the front bezels, perfect placement. glad Microsoft is listening and I hope this becomes a trend with upcoming Lumia phones.
The Lumia 650 is rumored to be announced and released early next year, probably during the annual CES event in Las Vegas. There isn't any rumor on how much it would cost but judging from the cost of the Lumia 640 and the recently released low budget Lumia 550, it will be a budget friendly device.
What do you guys think about the Lumia 650?

Big musicals, by their very nature, often require mass spectacle. But people regularly see productions of great size that leave them walking out of the theatre shaking their heads in puzzlement–they were impressed with the production values…why didn't they like the show more? One of my guiding principles is: "I'd rather be moved by the human story than impressed by empty spectacle." And I believe that whether they can articulate it or not, audiences feel the same way. If they leave the theatre having been dazzled by the beautiful sets, costumes, singing and dancing, but not brought to tears, laughter, thought or wonder, they have just been given an empty experience. Every good director understands that spectacle must serve the story–not be there for its own sake. But even experienced directors can forget this from time to time. When crafting a show, there's always the risk of getting sucked into the spectacle and losing focus. A director's precious, limited time can be monopolized by the many pressing details of staging large numbers and managing vast technical elements.
Before he knows it, he's only thinking about the how and not the why. Then he loses sight of two important truths: that everything, from the smallest detail to the most massive production number, must arise organically from the human story–the strivings, longings, passions, joys and disappointments of its characters. And that large musicals of quality are large not to lure larger audiences, but because there is simply no other way to adequately tell them.
I even break this down further, and ask a question most take for granted–why do people sing in musicals at all? "Huh? Why, because it's a musical," one might answer. "That's what people do in musicals: sing." Yes, but why? And why are we willing to suspend our disbelief and accept this strange convention? Again, the answer is simple: people sing in musicals because they must. What they are feeling, what they are going through, is so powerful, so large, that normal words cannot adequately express it. Their hearts are about to explode like a cannon and when they open their mouths they must sing. If directors, actors, choreographers and designers approach musicals from this point of view–that the spectacle must never be there to serve itself, but the story–and that the characters' stakes and needs are so powerful that only singing and dancing can express their depth–then a musical has a better than average chance of moving its audience.
The final point of view I bring to large musicals can be summed up this way: large arises from small. Just as a human body arises from billions of individual cells, so does a production number, a sprawling set, an ensemble arise from its smaller elements. Of any praise I may receive from critics, the one that means the most to me is when they note that a large production of mine was not only lavishly staged and expertly constructed, but that each small moment was polished to perfection. Because it's the small moments that hold the key to moving an audience. It's why I insist that the even the smallest ensemble member do a detailed biography for their character. Actors sometimes roll their eyes at this. "Why bother? I mean, man, I'm just in the ensemble. It doesn't matter."
Oh, yes it does. It matters profoundly. Somehow, through the magical connection between actors and audience, it makes a big difference. It brings an ensemble to life. They are no longer some large human lump but a group of individuals with their own points of view and reactions. Detail explodes from them. So does passion and exuberance. They are no longer dancing or singing simply for a paycheck or for the fun of performing, but from the needs of their character.
Like all theatrical truths, these can often get trampled in the rush to spectacle. And it seems to me that it happens more and more. For me, they are something I must never allow myself to forget. Because nothing bothers me more than a full stage and an empty heart.

C in telugu Arrays
Arrays are useful critters that often show up when it would be convenient to have one name for a group of variables of the same type that can be accessed by a numerical index. For example, a tic-tac-toe board can be held in an array and each element of the tic-tac-toe board can easily be accessed by its position (the upper left might be position 0 and the lower right position 8). At heart, arrays are essentially a way to store many values under the same name. You can make an array out of any data-type including structures and classes.
Let's look at the syntax for declaring an array.
int examplearray[100]; /* This declares an array */
This would make an integer array with 100 slots (the places in which values of an array are stored). To access a specific part element of the array, you merely put the array name and, in brackets, an index number. This corresponds to a specific element of the array. The one trick is that the first index number, and thus the first element, is zero, and the last is the number of elements minus one. The indices for a 100 element array range from 0 to 99. Be careful not to "walk off the end" of the array by trying to access element 100!

Dive classes today.....
Little Corn Island Travel Blog› entry 7 of 14 › view all entries
Today I have some confined water classes to participate in so I can complete my open water dive certification. I already have taken most of the course online so I just have to do the actual diving parts of the certification. I grab some scrambled eggs (and of course the delicious coconut bread toast) at Casa Igana and get over to the dive shop at 8AM for the start of my confined water diving skills training. I get sized up for gear and then we are out to do some shallow water skills. There are 4 students, 2 other dive instructors and the Dive master giving the course. It seems a bit overkill with all the help but once we get n the water (and under the water) it seems like a good idea. As I had mentioned previously there has been some wind and turbulent water, well the visibility under water for our diving of the confined water is like about 3 feet.
I go back to meet Julie at Casa Iguana and we decide to have lunch at Casa Iguana. They have a menu of wrap sandwiches. I get the chicken wrap and Julie gets the spicy Thai wrap. They are both good.
The rest of the day we spend enjoying the beach at Casa Iguana. Vacations are meant to be spent relaxing after all!! They have a nice beach just outside our casita so it is relaxing to just go out and be on this beautiful beach.
For Dinner at Casa Iguana they served a Mahi which was very good. It was light with a nice sauce. For drinks we have Basil Mojitos which are a specialty at Casa Iguana it seems. Mint Mojitos are the typical flavored Mojito that everyone has heard of but I think that it is easier to grow the basil in the Casa Iguana garden than the mint so the Basil Mojito has become their trademark drink. After trying both I think I liked the Basil Mojito better anyway. Another awesome day in paradise and it is back to our casita for bedtime.

It was sad to read this morning that Pastor Terry Jones has decided to "temporarily halt" his plans to burn Korans in Florida. This is not because I wanted to see Korans burned, but because I am saddened by the real reason they are not being burned.
There is much confusion about what happened yesterday. First, the Pastor said that he reached a quid pro quo deal with Imam Musri that involves a halt to the "Ground Zero" mosque in New York. Apparently, this was a "sign from God" that the Pastor was waiting for. Then it immediately emerged that there is no such deal. Pastor Jones said that Imam Musri lied to him. Imam Musri said that the Pastor lied to save face.
The quid pro quo link between burning the Koran and building a mosque was not immediately obvious to a mediocre mind like mine. However, it was obvious to the beautiful mind of Sarah Palin, who wrote on her Facebook page:
"People have a constitutional right to burn a Qur'an if they want to, but doing so is insensitive and an unnecessary provocation – much like building a mosque at Ground Zero"
Whatever transpired between the Imam and the Pastor is irrelevant. What is relevant is that the Pastor has nonetheless decided to stick to his decision not to burn Korans tomorrow, even though there is no deal. This implies that he has caved into to the pressure from various branches of government, which included statements from Obama, Clinton, Eric Holder, Robert Gates, Gen. Petraeus, as well as several visits by the FBI.
This is a shameful episode for US politics. It reminds me of the recent decision by some Moslem Lebanese TV stations to stop airing a mini-series about the life of Christ, after some churchmen were offended. As I argued in a previous post, the only victim of all of this is freedom of expression.
It is unfortunate for Moslems that none of their leaders have the foresight, creativity or courage of some Moslem commentators. It is very sad to see US politicians acting like their Lebanese counterparts.

Well, 2013 minus 1947 makes it 66. Standard Chartered opened its branch in Karachi in 1853 but does that justify 150 years of working in Pakistan when the country itself was founded in 1947?
Nevertheless, putting all logic at rest, we may turn our focus over the programme which was organised to mark the occasion. According to Lahore-based Daily Times, British High Commissioner to Pakistan Adam Thomson, Standard Chartered Bank Pakistan Limited CEO Mohsin Ali Nathani along with Standard Chartered Group CEO Peter Sands and other top officials and dignitaries were present on the occasion to celebrate the milestone and the bank's enduring connections with Pakistan.
However, before concluding, if Pakistan is 150-year-old, how old is India? A food for thought.

The first months of price freefall
If in 2007, the residential market was on a permanent upward trend on both segments, new apartments and old apartments, last year was marked by drastic changes. The gap between the year's peak and the year's bottom level was 350 euro/sqm, namely a roughly 20% decline.
"We had a prolific first quarter, when we had our first decline in asking price since the introduction of the indice that gauges the real estate market evolution (BREI – Bucharest Real Estate Index) in January 2005. Throughout the past three years, the real estate market was on constant upsurge, until February 2008 when the industry slid 50 units, namely by 3% from prior month, after a record 1,826 euro/sqm of BREI," according to Colliers analysis.
In March, the indice climbed by 110/sqm, up to 1,887 euro/sqm, and together with April's peak of 1,888 euro/sqm, were the biggest values of BREI since its introduction. The maximum point of price evolution in the residential market was in third and fourth month of 2008, after which the indice slid into a downtrend.
"If we had a fantastic evolution of the market in first quarter, with an unexpected decline and steep growth, the second quarter however, was marked by a full stalemate. Although there was a 2% decline in May against April, in the following three months, the indice remained around 1,840 euro/sqm", said Calin Bucur, head of the team who introduced BREI indice.
In July 2008 was the last stagnation of asking prices, after which the real estate market was under downward pressure, starting August.
"Thus, we have a decline from 1,844 euro/sqm, recorded in July, down to 1,540 euro/sqm, recorded in December,a 304 euro/sqm shortfall, equivalent to 16 percent within six months, and compared to January 2008, the year closed down by 286 euro/sqm", said Calin Bucur.
New BREI vs old BREI
Although the old apartment market and the new apartment market did not synchronized, there were short intervals when O-BREI and N-BREI had a different trend. Thus, at the beginning of 2007, O-BREI was much below N-BREI. However, throughout the year, the O-BREI had a 29% growth, achieving 1,875 euro/sqm value and exceeding N-BREI by 140 units.
"Despite the steep decline in February, in the entire first quarter of 2008, O-BREI remained ahead of BREI-N, the situation shifting starting April, when O-BREI value slid below the indice of new apartments. Up to end-2008, O-BREI had a descending path interrupted by a short period of stagnation, during summer", according to Colliers.

We tweet what's on our minds.
For instance, here are some of the things that were on my mind last night:
Because we tweet what's on our minds, often we betray that our interests are stupid, shallow and insignificant (see above). However, we also betray the things we care about, value, and enjoy talking about. It also shows what we'd like our friends and followers to know we care about. In the social media age, everyone is their own PR department.
MEANWHILE… we might amuse ourselves to know that people tweet more about church than beer now, as illustrated in this handy graphic from Floating Sheep. (Click to enlarge)
In case you're interested, in the US, San Fransisco is the most beer-tweeting city, and Dallas is the most church-tweeting city. Also, my county appears to slightly favor church over beer in it's tweets, which I take full credit for. <startsarcasticfont> It's like the Methodist influence on England all over again <endsarcasticfont>

Complaint Review: ViewSonic - CompUSA
ViewSonic - CompUSA ripoff rebates for monitors Walnut California
Immediately after I purchases the monitors, got back to my office to start the rebate process. I didn't even unpack the monitors. I filled out the forms, copied the receipts, cut off the UPC code for each monitr and sent each rebate in its own envelope with each of its own copy of receipts, UPC barcodes, and rebates forms.
I double checked the information I have provided. I checked in such a way I knew I would not be needing duplicate copies of anything. That was a mistake.
A month later I received emails stating that they have received my rebate submission but where missing not only the rebate form??? ...but the original receipt and the UPC barcode as well.
I thought to myself "how could they have received my rebate submission if they didn't receive the rebate form or anything I had sent???" Anyways I decided it was all a racket.
I sent ViewSonic a professional letter stated my disgust in the matter. Two weeks later I received a letter stating:
"Thank you again for having chosen a ViewSonic product for your display needs.
We are in receipt of your rebate submission. We request the following information to be forward.
* All copies of receipt, Claim form and UPC code
In addition to the above include you telephone number in your reply.
We hope to resolve this issue for your as soon as possible, and do appreciate your patience."
So in summary ViewSonic has recieved all information they asked for in a rebate from me but refused to honor it and tried to play it off as if they didn't recieve any information from me when if fact they did...otherwise they wouldn't have known I submitted a rebate.

Starsound Studios is a Cleveland recording studio that provides recording, mixing and mastering - as well as graphic and web design services - all under one roof. That kind of continuity is important.
It takes more than creativity and musical talent to make a hit record or best-selling album. Sales, radio play, record deals, a loyal fanbase and online popularity depend as much on how your music sounds as how good it actually is.
Recording in one studio, mixing in another and mastering elsewhere isn't just tiring and expensive - it can hamper the creative process, and the quality of your recordings may suffer. Working with the same Cleveland recording studio from start to finish helps ensure that your creative vision meets its fullest potential.
Starsound Studios' broad range of outboard and digital gear - including the industry-standard digital audio workstation, Pro Tools - allows for maximum flexibility and the best possible sound.
Renowned ATC monitors have the sonic clarity necessary for a perfect mix, while Avantone MixCubes provide a "real-world" reference that lets you hear how your music will sound in a typical listening setup. Each recording passes through a high-quality microphone preamp - from the highly flexible Focusrite Liquid Channel to the warm-sounding Universal Audio LA-610, or Audient's pristine Console Grade preamps - to capture every nuance of your voice or instrument.
Accurately recording and playing back sound is one part of the equation; being able to balance and shape the elements of that sound is another. An impressive collection of analog equalizers, compressors, tape emulators and audio processors make Starsound Studios one of the best-equipped Cleveland recording studios, capable of transforming a series of recordings into a polished musical product.
All the equipment in the world won't make a good recording if a studio's acoustics are poor. Tracking, mixing and mastering in an untreated space is a recipe for disaster. Steer clear of any recording studio whose walls are bare. Why? Higher frequencies bounce off of hard surfaces, while low frequencies can be dramatically exaggerated or underrepresented, depending on the size and shape of a room.
In a recording setting, that can lead to an overly "live", incoherent sound. In the context of mixing, a finished track may sound awful - too much or too little bass, a harsh or dull high end, or muddy-sounding midrange - when played outside the studio.
Starsound Studios' generously-sized recording, mixing and mastering rooms incorporate strategically placed absorptive acoustic panels, bass traps and diffusors, making it one of the most accurate-sounding Cleveland recording studios and a perfect environment for creating an album that will sound great no matter where it's played.
Wade's experience - both as a musician and a mixing, recording and mastering engineer - means that you're putting your project into the capable hands of someone who understands the intricacies of live and recorded music - and at a price you can afford. Wade recognizes that not every band has a large budget, and offers a variety of studio packages that are within almost anyone's reach.
Starsound Studios has everything a good Cleveland recording studio should: A full range of services, great gear, stellar recording and listening spaces, and over two decades of experience in transforming music into magic. Book your session today!
