Wrong Referenced Theo. Expressions Pleco Files Posted

The one who provided the Referenced Theo. Expressions Pleco files mentioned in this post from earlier today said the wrong Pleco files were provided, so the Pleco files that were originally posted have been removed. The correct ones will be posted when they are made available. If you had already downloaded the original Pleco files, please delete them.

Referenced Theo. Expressions Updated to 2010-01-18 Version

The Referenced Theo. Expressions files, available for download from the Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Pinyin + English) and Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + JP/Yale Cant. Rom. + English) pages, have been updated. These files are meant to be relatively extensive lists of theo. expressions as they have been found to be rendered in the Chinese publications.

The current version is now dated 2010-01-18. A Mandarin Pleco version and a Mandarin Wenlin version are is now available in addition to the PDF files. [Update: The one who provided the Pleco files said the wrong Pleco files were provided, so the Pleco files that were originally posted have been removed. The correct ones will be posted when they are made available. If you had already downloaded the original Pleco files, please delete them.] Also, a password is no longer needed to access this resource.

Thanks go out to the ones who helped to produce these files.

Added Suggestion Re Checking the Authenticity of PT Recordings

In addition to the additions to the Mandarin Public Talks Audio & Video page listed in yesterday’s post, this additional suggestion has been added:

• If a person who is qualified both spiritually and language-wise is not available, perhaps alternately someone qualified language-wise could translate the recording, either verbally or in writing, for evaluation by someone else who is spiritually qualified.

Talk 148 Recordings

Audio and video recordings of Mandarin public talk 148 are now available from the Mandarin Public Talks Audio & Video page. The recordings are available in MP3, iPod video, CD, and DVD formats. Chairmen’s information is also available in Simp.+Pinyin+English 3-line PDF format.

For information on how to access this page, email me, providing information such as what group or congregation you’re with, who referred you to this site, etc.

Note that the following section has been added to the Mandarin Public Talks Audio & Video page:

Authenticity of the Recordings

I have heard of concerns being expressed that these recordings could “easily” be altered by a malicious third party to make it appear as if the speaker were saying things that he did not actually say. While I am not sure if it is accurate to say that this would be easy to do in a way that is not obvious, or if it would still require the efforts of highly trained (and expensive) professional special effects technicians, I suppose it is theoretically possible. However, it is relatively easy to guard against such tampering:

• First, it should at least help to make sure to only use recordings downloaded directly from this page.
• Most importantly, just have a person who is qualified (both spiritually and language-wise) check each recording before it is shown, especially if it is to be shown in a Kingdom Hall.
  • Each public talk recording is now only about 30 minutes long, so this check would only add about that much time to the preparation time required for each presentation.

Of course, if you learn of any actual tampering with the recordings, let me know right away!

Cannot Access 2010 3-Line km Material?

I have been hearing that some are unable to access the 2010 3-line km material from 3lines.org. When I emailed the one overseeing this material, this was in the reply:

I concluded that, some how others might have been passing the [Link-Key] instead of pointing to the [3lines.org]. Therefore, the procedure to obtain the [Link-Key] is to 1). through the KM request register [go to 3lines.org, log in, then click on km] THEN 2). send in a response to confirm their request through [Eng KM 3lines]. and 3). finally the [Link-Key] will send to the brother(s). And if they did not acknowledge they receipted the [Link-Key], they will need to go through steps again.

Thanks
