Welcome to 2010. First and foremost, our hearts and prayers are with those who are suffering in Haiti, and those who are dedicating their time, energy, and resources to aid in the recovery efforts.
In this issue of the Global Communicator, we're breaking out our paper and pencils and doing the math. Or rather, we will take a look at some serious number-crunching — the 2010 U.S. Census. We also share information about the Dalai Lama's upcoming visit to Los Angeles in support of Whole Child International, announce our EN 15038:2006 certification, and feature Italian as this issue’s language.

On January 1, 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated the total U.S. population at more than 308.4 million. This estimate is based on the formula of one birth every eight seconds and one death every 12 seconds. But now, it’s time to move away from estimates and formulas and on to hard data.

Italian
Italy has a diverse, industrial economy, the seventh largest in the world and fourth largest in the European Union. With a population of 58.1 million, and a GDP of $2.1 trillion, Italy represents a market comparable in size and wealth to that of the United Kingdom and France, while ranking larger in GDP than Brazil, India, and Mexico.

Global Language Solutions (GLS), publisher of Global Communicator, is pleased to announce our recent EN 15038:2006 certification, the Quality Standard Designed Exclusively for the Translation Industry by the European Committee for Standardization. In many ways, the certification is more important for assessing quality in the language services industry than ISO 9001 certification

Our hearts and prayers go out to the nation of Haiti. After the earthquake, the social media platform twitter quickly updated people on the status of the country, survivors, the missing, and relief needs. The world responded and was able to immediately start aiding the relief efforts via a simple text. Please visit our blog, OneStopGlobal for a list of places to text your donation to relief organizations aiding Haiti.
