Shincheonji Church hosted the event to present results from its recent online seminars. Pastors who signed MOUs with Shincheonji shared testimonials.

“In the past, all I preached was that everyone must believe in Jesus and by sharing grace in this way would lead to salvation,” said Dongsu Kim, pastor of Peace Church. “Without fulfillment, I thought heaven was somewhere one went to after death. I thought there was resurrection after death.”

Pastor Kim is currently teaching Shincheonji Church’s revealed word to his congregation. “The time has come for all the pastors to come and learn so that they may live a life of faith in the correct truth,” he said.

To date, 2,155 pastors, 22 seminary schools and 958 churches in 67 countries have signed MOUs with Shincheonji Church. In exchange for their cooperation, Shincheonji is providing churches and seminary schools with theology materials and access to Bible instructors. In the United States, a Shincheonji instructor was invited to teach 100 members from The Early Church of the New Era. A seminary school in Pakistan is offering Shincheonji course curriculum after its dean signed an MOU with the church.

Shincheonji Church Chairman Lee Man-hee also spoke during the press conference, explaining how he has come to share the word and the role of pastors today.

“Let’s fight and overcome the devil with the blood of Jesus and the word of testimony and create the people of God’s kingdom so that God may finally come and reign over the world after 6000 years,” Chairman Lee said. “This is what [God] has made known to us through the Bible. I hope that everyone engraves the words of all the chapters of Revelation—which is the law of heaven—in their hearts.”

Shincheonji Church has taught Revelation and the secrets of the kingdom of heaven through online seminars since October 2021. The lectures have millions of YouTube views and are available in 24 different languages. The church is also broadcasting content from its intermediate-level course through June 27th.

‫الإمارات تعلن عن جائزة تحدي تكنولوجيا الغذاء العالمي بقيمة 2 مليون دولار أمريكي لدعم الحلول المبتكرة في مجال التكنولوجيا الزراعية

المكتب الإعلامي لحكومة دبي- 4 أبريل 2022 /PRNewswire/ — انطلق “تحدي تكنولوجيا الغذاء العالمي”، الذي يسعى إلى اكتشاف تكنولوجيا العقد القادم من الابتكارات والتقنيات التي ستغيّر ممارسات الزراعة التقليدية بكفاءة واستدامة خلال فعاليات إكسبو 2020 دبي، وأعلن اليوم عن مجموع جوائز بقيمة 2 مليون دولار أمريكي.

يستهدف التحدي المشاريع الناشئة في مراحلها الأولى مثل فرق الأبحاث الجامعية الدولية ورواد الأعمال والشركات الصغيرة، حيث يستقصي الابتكارات المتعلقة بمسارين هامين هما ” إنتاج الغذاء” لمعالجة تحدي توافر ووفرة الغذاء وأسعار الأغذية، من خلال تمكين التحول إلى “الجيل القادم” من بدائل الأغذية الغنية بالعناصر الغذائية، و”فقد وهدر الأغذية” لضمان الاستدامة في سلسلة التوريد الغذائي بشكل عام.

ومع جوائز يصل مجموعها إلى 2 مليون دولار أمريكي، سيتم منح الفائزين فرصة لتطوير نماذج أعمالهم في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة، مدعومين بمشاريع البحث والتطوير، وتسريع نمو هذه الشركات، والحوافز التجارية، والتوجيه اللازم لنقل المفاهيم الفائزة من مرحلة الاختبار إلى السوق. وتقبل الطلبات من جميع أنحاء العالم، مع التركيز على البلدان المتميزة بمجال التكنولوجيا الزراعية.

ويتم تنظيم تحدي تكنولوجيا الغذاء من قبل وزارة التغير المناخي والبيئة بدولة الإمارات و”تمكين”، وهي شركة مقرها أبوظبي تهدف إلى إطلاق مشاريع تسهم في ازدهار المشهد الاجتماعي والثقافي والتعليمي في دولة الإمارات من خلال عقد شراكات مع جهات محلية ودولية رائدة. وانضمت إليهما في النسخة الحالية من التحدي “أسباير”، ذراع مجلس أبحاث التكنولوجيا المتطورة والمخصّصة لإدارة برامج التكنولوجيا، والتي تشرف على تمويل مشاريع البحث والتطوير التكنولوجي في إمارة أبوظبي خصوصاً ودولة الإمارات عموماً. ويحظى كل مسار كذلك

بدعم الشركات الوطنية الرائدة، حيث تركز شركتا ” القابضة” (ADQ) و”سلال” على مسار إنتاج الغذاء، فيما تركز مؤسسة الإمارات على مسار فقد وهدر الأغذية.

وبهذه المناسبة، قالت معالي مريم المهيري، وزيرة التغير المناخي والبيئة في دولة الإمارات: “يحظى الأمن الغذائي اليوم بأهمية كبيرة أكثر من أي وقت مضى، فلم يعد العالم كما نعرفه، حيث يواجه العديد من التحديات في مختلف مراحل سلسلة الإمداد، كما أن تأثيرات التغيرات المناخية التي تفضي إلى الكثير من الاضطرابات تحد من مرونة سلاسل الإمداد واستدامتها، ومن هنا، تقع على عاتقنا مسؤولية إعادة التفكير بمستقبل قطاع الغذاء وابتكار ممارسات غذائية وزراعية مرنة بالاعتماد على أفضل التطورات التكنولوجية. يقربنا تحدي تكنولوجيا الغذاء خطوة من اكتشاف وتطوير بعض هذه الحلول، فهو يسلط الضوء على الدور الحاسم الذي يمكن للابتكار أن يلعبه لمواجهة تحدياتنا المشتركة”.

من جانبها قالت ريما المقرب المهيري، رئيس مجلس إدارة شركة “تمكين”: “إن مواكبة طموحات دولة الإمارات بعيدة المدى في مجال الأمن الغذائي يتطلب منهجيات جريئة تدعم الأفكار الإبداعية ونماذج العمل الجديدة، إلى جانب التعاون المكثف مع منظومة التكنولوجيا الزراعية العالمية. ويستقطب تحدي تكنولوجيا الغذاء كوكبة من أقوى الشركاء متعددي القطاعات القادرين على المساهمة بدفع عجلة التقدم وتحقيق الازدهار في دولة الإمارات من خلال دعم الحلول المستدامة والمجدية تجارياً والقائمة على التكنولوجيا”.

وبدوره شدد معالي فيصل البناي، الأمين العام لـمجلس أبحاث التكنولوجيا المتطورة، على أهمية تسخير التكنولوجيا المتطورة؛ حيث قال: “تعد دولة الإمارات اليوم من أكثر دول العالم تميزاً بمجال الابتكار وتسخير التكنولوجيا المتطورة لإيجاد حلول لعدد من أهم التحديات المجتمعية. ويقدم تحدي تكنولوجيا الغذاء دليلاً إضافياً ورائعاً على ذلك، حيث تستضيف دولة الإمارات أذكى العقول من حول العالم للتعاون واستكشاف الحلول والارتقاء بمجال التكنولوجيا الزراعية”.

كما يعتبر كل من سوق أبوظبي العالمي، ومكتب أبوظبي للمقيمين و”كتاليست أكسيليريتور”، وصندوق خليفة لتطوير المشاريع داعمين رئيسيين للمسابقة.

وسيبقى باب المشاركة في تحدي تكنولوجيا الغذاء مفتوحاً حتى شهر يونيو، حيث سيتم وضع القائمة النهائية بأسماء المشاركين ومنح أفضل 10 فرق فرصة عرض نماذج أعمالهم خلال حفل توزيع الجوائز الذي سيقام في نوفمبر. ويمكن للمشاركين تقديم طلباتهم عبر الموقع الإلكتروني: www.foodtechchallenge.com.

يشار إلى أن النسخة الأولى من تحدي تكنولوجيا الغذاء تلقت 437 طلب مشاركة من 68 دولة، وتم تكريم الفائزين من أستراليا والمملكة العربية السعودية والإمارات العربية المتحدة والمملكة المتحدة.

LG RECEIVES AHRI PERFORMANCE AWARD FOR FIFTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR

Company Secures Sought-after Industry Recognition for Its Advanced HVAC Solutions in Six Different Product Categories

SEOUL, South Korea, April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) has been honored by the Air-Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) with a Performance Award for the fifth year in a row.

Established in 1953, AHRI is a globally-respected trade association currently with more than 350 member companies and representing the world’s HVAC, refrigeration, and water heating solution manufacturers.

For the Performance Award, AHRI enlists the services of Intertek, a leading third-party standards, certification and testing organization, to assess if actual product performance is consistent with the specifications listed by the manufacturer. Only those companies whose HVAC offerings have passed the primary performance evaluation for three consecutive years are considered for the Performance Award.

A total of 55 LG HVAC solutions across six categories passed AHRI’s stringent evaluation process, marking the third year in a row from 2019 to 2021 that all products submitted by LG have done so. The tested models belong to the following categories: Variable Refrigerant Airflow (VRF), Unitary Small Heat Pump (USHP), Air-Cooled Chillers, Water-Cooled Chillers, Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps (PTHP), and Room Fan Coil Units.

One of the more-than-fifty LG products evaluated included the LG Multi V large-capacity outdoor unit, which utilizes the company’s own Ultimate Inverter Compressor to provide outstanding performance and energy efficiency. Popular worldwide, and especially in Northern hemisphere countries where winters can be long and harsh, LG’s flagship VRF system delivers dependable heating operation, even in temperatures as low as negative-30 degrees Celsius (negative-22 degrees Fahrenheit).

Also tested was LG Multi V Water, a water source cooling system offering better thermal efficiency thanks to the implementation of plate-type heat exchanger. LG’s solution also reduces energy consumption by adjusting the volume of water used.

The air-cooled Inverter Scroll Chiller also leverages advanced inverter technology to achieve a high level of efficiency. Its compactly designed unit delivers an impressive performance without taking up as much space as other models in its class.

“Earning the AHRI Performance Award for a fifth consecutive year is a testament to the quality, performance and reliability built into every LG HVAC solution,” said James Lee, head of the Air Solution Business Unit at LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “The trust customers have in our products is a major reason for our ongoing success, both in North America and all around the globe.
