Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon had a vision at age 15 of being called by Jesus Christ to unite Christianity and all religions, heal divisions among humanity, and comfort God's grieving heart. Over his 92-year life, he faced immense persecution but built a global religious movement and advocated for peace between all peoples and nations through interfaith harmony and cross-cultural marriage blessing ceremonies.
The Universal Peace Federation works to resolve conflicts and reconcile divided groups through spiritual principles of unity. They bring people of different faiths together through interfaith dialogue and joint service projects to foster understanding and cooperation. UPF establishes interfaith councils and trains religious leaders to prevent violence and build peace in their communities.
Seminar 104: World mission through Self-supporting missionaries and house churchBonn UBF
This document discusses self-supporting missionaries and house churches as effective models for global mission work. It describes how self-supporting missionaries, like the Apostle Paul, can work full-time in ministry while supporting themselves through other means like tentmaking. House churches are presented as a way to build community, raise families, and make disciples. The document advocates for training 100,000 self-supporting missionaries and raising college students in house churches to become the next generation of global leaders in spreading the gospel.
This webinar discussed a Centralized Demand Controlled Ventilation (CDCV) system that aims to reduce energy usage from laboratory ventilation while maintaining safety. CDCV uses air contaminant sensors to lower ventilation rates from 4-12 air changes per hour down to 2 air changes per hour when no contaminants are detected, and increase rates when they are. Initial testing found the system effectively detected spills but response time could be improved. Further study is needed but energy savings of up to 5 years payback are possible if safety can be confirmed. The webinar concluded with next steps like additional testing, new construction projects, and gaining user input.
Cotton grows in many Southern states of the US. It is harvested by cotton pickers that remove the cotton from bolls and store it in trailers. The cotton is then compressed into modules and transported to cotton gins where it is separated from seeds. The fibers are spun into thread and woven or knitted into fabrics for clothing. Byproducts of cotton include cottonseed oil, livestock feed, and fertilizer.

Robin Ryde identifies six dominant thinking habits that shape social thinking and leadership: deficit thinking, rational thinking, common sense thinking, binary thinking, equity thinking, and sticky thinking. Ryde provides examples of how overreliance on some habits, like deficit thinking and rational thinking, can be insufficient and come at a cost. Leaders must be aware of the thinking habits they and others deploy to have productive thinking conversations and lead change.
The document discusses smart lab building concepts that aim to balance lab safety and energy efficiency. It describes centralized demand controlled ventilation that monitors indoor air quality and varies ventilation rates accordingly. Low flow fume hoods and exhaust system optimization are also discussed. A case study of Gross Hall at UC Irvine highlights these smart lab features, including occupancy-based lighting controls and energy savings of over 50% compared to code. Maintenance and sensor calibration for smart lab systems presents ongoing considerations.
- Sarah Smith created a music magazine for her media coursework, designing the front cover, contents page, and a double page spread interview. She shot the images and researched ideas for content.
- Her magazine was based on drum and bass/dubstep music and aimed to attract both genders of older teens and young adults. While initially considering a grunge style, she opted for brighter colors and varied fonts to draw in readers.
- Through the process, Sarah learned skills using software like InDesign and Photoshop to edit photos, create pages, and arrange layouts. She improved at using technologies like Apple computers and her course blog to track her work.
The document summarizes the Rowland Hall HVAC retrofit project. It will involve converting the building from a constant air volume (CAV) system to a variable air volume (VAV) system, upgrading existing equipment, and installing new controls. The project team is listed, along with phases of the work, potential disruptions, safety procedures, and contacts for issues. The retrofit is expected to improve energy efficiency by at least 15% compared to the old pneumatic system.
This document compares the IT infrastructure in the US and Dubai. It finds that while Dubai has nearly universal broadband access with 98.8% of its population living in urban areas, the US lags behind with only 79.2% of its larger population living in urban areas and 7.9% of rural communities lacking any internet access. Both countries have initiatives to expand infrastructure, but the US likely faces greater challenges in terms of its size, rural terrain, and lack of sufficient funding compared to Dubai's focused investments and economy.
This document summarizes a company's mission to help consumers save money on groceries through a mobile app that shares and compares prices. Key points include:
- The average family spends $10,000 per year on groceries, a large market with little price transparency for consumers.
- The company has experience building shopping apps and wants to launch a new app called Grocery Exchange that allows price sharing, smart shopping plans, and displays local store prices.
- Proprietary image recognition technology will allow the app to collect store prices from shelf labels to provide the most up-to-date local price information.

Tribes and Nations Outreach (TNO) was founded in 1985 by Brother Joseph and Benjamin Baluyot to train nationals and encourage churches in Asia. TNO developed training programs like the School of Workers to equip people to evangelize and establish churches. Major projects included Operation 300 which established over 300 house churches in Vietnam. In 2000, TNO underwent a paradigm shift focusing on two new training forces and strategies to build churches and establish a cell church model. Today, TNO has strategic teams in countries across Asia continuing training.

The Universal Peace Federation and its global network of Ambassadors for Peace bring universal, spiritual principles to the task of resolving conflict and reconciling the divided human family. International Leadership Conferences, symposia and peace councils offer opportunities for high-level consultations. These are complemented by "track II" diplomacy and grass-roots programs that build support for a culture of peace.
World peace can be fully accomplished only when the wisdom and efforts of the world’s religious leaders are combined cooperatively and respectfully with the endeavors of national political leaders. Absent the recognition of spiritual principles, the world has drifted increasingly toward analyses and prescriptions that are materialistic and secular in nature. In so doing, we have lost sight of the profound wisdom to be found in humanity’s spiritual heritage.
Global institutions must be built on a foundation that takes into account the full potential of the human being, not only as a political, economic, and social being, but also as a spiritual being with spiritual needs and a capacity for spiritual wisdom and insight. The legacy of the world’s great saints, prophets, sages, and spiritual leaders cannot be denied or discounted without ignoring what is most fundamental about the human being.
In too many ways the history of religion has been marked by narrow sectarianism, strife, and competitive struggle with other faiths, all to the detriment of the cherished goals and teachings of the founders and scriptures. This cannot continue. The need to eliminate corruption, selfishness, and bad governance applies not only to all nations but also to all of the world’s religions.
Lasting peace depends on cooperative partnerships between governments and religions, as well as NGOs and representatives of the private sector. The United Nations can benefit from a council of religious and spiritual leaders to bring broad vision and wisdom to the effort to address critical global problems. International conferences, publications, networking, and on-the-ground activism are mechanisms for interfaith cooperation and lay a foundation for spiritual renewal at the United Nations.

TNO developed training programs like the School of Workers to equip people to evangelize and establish churches. Major projects included Operation 300 which established over 300 house churches in Vietnam and Operation 10,000 which helped establish over 8,500 underground churches in Vietnam. By 2000, TNO was active in 10 countries and had equipped over 13,000 graduates while delivering over 500,000 Bibles to restricted countries. TNO underwent a paradigm shift, establishing the Asia Strike Force with training in discipleship, self-reliance, and strategies to build churches. Today
The University Bible Fellowship was founded in 1961 in South Korea by Dr. Samuel Lee and missionary Sarah Barry to provide faith and hope to college students during a period of national turmoil. It began with Bible studies on campus and a focus on sharing the gospel with students. UBF has now grown to over 1,500 missionaries in 92 countries who are supported through their own means. The document then describes the work of the Los Angeles UBF chapter started by Isaac Kim in the 1980s to serve students at UCLA and other college campuses in the area.

This document discusses cultural diversity in the US Catholic Church. It defines key terms like culture, diversity, and communication styles. It emphasizes that diversity is important and a characteristic of modern times, bringing challenges and opportunities. The USCCB has made cultural diversity, especially Hispanic ministry, one of its priority goals. The Church must become more expert in diversity to effectively carry out its evangelizing mission in a multicultural world. Food for thought sections discuss how the Church is like a stew pot that adapts different cultures rather than a melting pot that forces assimilation.

20. The continuous Jewish presence
in Israel for over 3,000 years
“Who can challenge the rights of the Jews in Palestine? Good Lord, historically
it is really your country.” - Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, Mayor of Jerusalem, 1899.
“It is, indeed, not the birth of a nation, for the Jewish nation through centuries
of oppression and captivity have preserved their sentiment of nationality as
few peoples could...it is the rebirth of a nation.” - Lord Robert Cecil, 1918
“We Arabs, especially the educated among us, look with deepest sympathy on
the Zionist movement...We will wish the Jews a hearty welcome home... Our
two movements compliment one another.” - Emir Faisal, a leader of the
Arab world, 1919 Extracted from ‘Israel
101’ material.
“It is manifestly right that the scattered Jews should have a national center
and national home and be reunited, and where else but in Palestine, with
which for 3,000 years they have been intimately and profoundly associated?”
-Winston Churchill, 1920

31:35-37; Romans 11:28-29.
2. When God made this covenant with Abraham He promised his descendants ownership of the
land of Israel as an everlasting possession - Genesis 17:8. This promise of ownership was
transferred through Isaac and Jacob to the 12 tribes of Israel - Genesis 26:3-4; 35:12; Psalm
105:8-11.
3. God refers to the unique character of this territory by calling it My land - Ezekiel 36:20; the
Jewish peoples own land - Ezekiel 36:7,24; 37:21; and the Jewish people as My people -
Ezekiel 38:16; Joel 3:2.
4. God promises a second regathering of the Jewish people to their land in the latter days, from
which they will never be uprooted again - Isaiah 11:11-14; Jeremiah 16:14-16; Ezekiel 11:17;
Amos 9:14-15. The promise of the regathering specifically includes Judea and Samaria -
Jeremiah 31:5,14; (Ezekiel 36:1-15).
5. The Jewish people will return in unbelief, their return being a pre-condition for God to pour
out His Spirit on them - Ezekiel 11:16-20; 20:42-43; 36:24-28; 37:12-14; 39:25-29; Jeremiah
