Kiera Butler at Mother Jones:

Earlier this month, former President Donald Trump held his first campaign rally as a convicted felon at Dream City Church in Phoenix, Arizona, hosted by the arch-conservative student group Turning Point USA. This wasn’t Trump’s first appearance at Dream City Church; he also held a rally there with Turning Point USA in 2020. For events like this, it’s an ideal venue: A weekly attendance of around 21,000 believers makes this one of the largest churches not just in Arizona but in the nation.

Dream City, which didn’t respond to my questions for this story, is a mecca for special guests who blur the line between religion and politics. Its annual conference has featured notables like musician and pastor Sean Feucht, who participated in a White House prayer session for President Trump in 2019 and is currently leading a tour of prayer rallies at state capitol buildings across the country. The lineup for this year’s event also included David Barton, whose organization, WallBuilders, teaches K-12 students about the supposed Christian origins of America; Jürgen Mathesius, a pastor at San Diego’s far-right Awaken Church, which has become a stop on Mike Flynn’s ReAwaken America tour; and Jentezen Franklin, a televangelist who also spoke at the 2022 Pray Vote Stand Summit, which mobilizes conservative Christian voters to engage in political activism.

In addition to its thrumming weekly worship sessions and its blockbuster events, the church has another project: Dream City Christian Academy. The K-12 private school, which serves nearly 800 students, is part of Turning Point USA’s Turning Point Academy program, a network of 41 schools that describes itself as “an educational movement that exists to glorify God and preserve the founding principles of the United States through influencing and inspiring the formation of the next generation.” Dream City Christian Academy promises to “Protect our campus from the infiltration of unethical agendas by rejecting all ‘woke’ and untruthful ideologies being pushed on students.” This politically charged approach to education likely isn’t for everyone—and because it’s a private school, it doesn’t have to be. Except for one thing: Dream City Christian Academy is one of a growing number of religious schools that are supported by public funds.

In 2022, Arizona became the first state in which all students are allowed to use state vouchers to cover a portion of tuition at any private school, secular or religious. Through Empowerment Scholarship Accounts, each participating family receives about 90 percent of the money the state would have spent on the child’s public school education—around $7,000 per student per year—for private school tuition. For the 2024-2025 school year, the Dream City Christian Academy annual tuition ranges from $10,450 in elementary school to $13,999 in high school—so families of the school’s nearly 800 students can use state funds to pay for between half and two-thirds of their tuition bill. Dream City Christian Academy received almost $1 million in tuition voucher money last year, the Arizona Republic recently reported.

Since Arizona passed its universal voucher law, 10 more states have followed suit. According to an analysis by Education Week, 29 states currently have programs that provide such assistance to a variety of different students many of whom attend local public schools that perform poorly. It also targets those with a disability that requires specialized education and those whose families earn significantly less than the federal poverty level. More programs are in the works: Lawmakers in both Louisiana and South Carolina recently advanced bills that would create programs like Arizona’s that are open to all students. When state funds are available for private school choice programs, a recent Washington Post analysis found that religious schools receive upwards of 90 percent of that money.

[...] A prerequisite for students and their families to attend some of the schools that currently receive voucher money is that they accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior. In March, the education blog Notes from the Chalkboard highlighted one such school. Students attending North Carolina’s Daniel Christian Academy, are trained to “enter the Seven Mountains of Influence,” a main tenet of a Christian Nationalist movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation. Its adherents believe that the faithful are called to seek Christian control of the “seven mountains” of society: family, education, media, government, business, arts & entertainment, and religion. Many New Apostolic Reformation followers believe that waging “spiritual warfare” is justified in achieving these goals, though Daniel Christian Academy specifies that its endorsement of the Seven Mountains Mandate “in no way includes violence or manipulation at any level.”

Americans United for Separation of Church and State’s Laser worries that the proliferation of private school voucher programs will open the door to even more permissive rules around the use of public education dollars to teach religion. She points to a suite of bills that would allow public schools to employ chaplains, and even more remarkably, to an Oklahoma Catholic school called St. Isidore of Seville, which is set to become the nation’s first Christian public charter school this fall. The overarching goal of these initiatives, she says, is to “bestow a power and privilege on Christians in our country, at the expense of all the other religions in America.” Meanwhile, public education is robbed  “of the funding that it’s entitled to.”

Mother Jones reports on the disturbing trend of Christian Nationalists opening taxpayer-funded private schools with the intention to indoctrinate students with right-wing politics and a Christian Nationalist worldview.

 Urgent action to end child labour.

ITUC General Secretary Luc Triangle said: “The world has made a promise to children to end child labour by 2025 as stated in SDG Target 8.7. But there are still 160m children working today. Governments must scale up their efforts to tackle poverty and social injustice, and propose urgent rights-based action as set out in the Durban Call to Action. They can learn a lot from the work done by trade unions.”

 Trades Union Congress Ghana affiliate, the General Agriculture Workers’ Union, introduced a child labour clause in collective agreements, campaigned on the right to education for children and advocated an area-based approach to end child labour with support from the Global March Against Child Labour.

 In Bangladesh, with support from ITUC-Asia Pacific, unions joined efforts to accelerate the elimination of child labour by organising workers and rescue missions, advocating for stricter regulations and effective enforcement.

 A rise in the exploitation of immigrant children by corporations in dangerous workplaces around the USA led the AFL- CIO to renew its call for strong laws to prevent child labour abuse and to hold employers accountable by increasing penalties.

 In the Netherlands, the CNV and the FNV actively work for the elimination of child labour in supply chains through agreements with Dutch companies on international responsible business conduct. Their affiliates also support trade unions in Asia and Africa to introduce child labour-free zones.

Luc Triangle continued: “As long as workers continue to struggle for a decent living wage and adequate social protection, we will witness the scourge of child labour. We want a New Social Contract for decent work for all workers, so that parents can earn a good living and children can learn at school. To achieve these reforms, we need democracy in every workplace, and beyond, so workers always have a say.

“Ending corporate greed is essential to ending child labour. That means enforcing due diligence in global supply chains and holding businesses to account for their exploitation of workers and children, particularly in agriculture, where over 70 per cent of child labour occurs.

“We urge all nations to improve their implementation of ILO Convention 182, on the worst forms of child labour and we urge the ratification of Convention 138 on Minimum Age by the 11 governments who have not yet done so”.

Governments should also use the Pact for the Future, that will be adopted during the SDG Summit of the Future in September 2024, to intensify efforts to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking, and eliminate all forms of child labour.

To mark the World Day Against Child Labour, there will be a high-level event at the International Labour Conference that can be watched online here.

On 20 June, the Global March Against Child Labour is organising an event to showcase its area-based approach. Details on how to join the event online are available here.

Inteligencia artificial y educación. Un matrimonio de conveniencia

RedEnreD Academy Blogpost - October 2023

From: RedEnreD Academy

Introduction from the CEO

A Message from DANIEL MANJÓN, CEO REDENRED ACADEMY

Dear Scholars and AI Enthusiasts,

Welcome to our October 2023 edition. At RedEnreD Academy, we are dedicated to advancing knowledge and fostering innovation in the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our primary focus is on the educational applications of AI, and this month’s blog post underscores the incredible advantages these technologies bring to the educational landscape.

Harnessing the Power of Educational Artificial Intelligence

Advantages and Potential of AI in Education

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various facets of our society, with education being one of the most significant areas of impact. The integration of AI into educational systems offers numerous benefits that can enhance learning experiences, improve outcomes, and democratize access to quality education. Below, we delve into some of the most profound advantages of Educational AI, supported by recent research and case studies.

Key Advantages of Educational Artificial Intelligence

1. Personalized Learning Experiences

AI algorithms can analyze individual student data to tailor educational content to each learner's unique needs. This personalization increases engagement and improves learning outcomes by ensuring that students receive instruction that matches their pace and learning style.

Dr. Emily Johnson's recent study, published in the Journal of Educational Technology, highlights that students who experienced AI-driven personalized learning showed a 30% improvement in comprehension and retention rates compared to traditional teaching methods.

Keywords: personalized learning, AI algorithms, educational outcomes

2. Enhanced Accessibility and Inclusion

AI technologies facilitate greater educational inclusivity by providing tools that support students with diverse needs. For instance, speech recognition and text-to-speech applications can aid students with disabilities, while AI-driven translation tools can break language barriers, making education accessible to non-native speakers.

The implementation of AI in inclusive education is well-documented in Dr. Ahmed Malik’s paper in Inclusive Education Review. His findings indicate a significant reduction in dropout rates among students with special needs when AI tools are integrated into their learning environments.

Keywords: accessibility, inclusive education, speech recognition, translation tools

3. Efficient Administration and Management

AI can automate administrative tasks such as grading, scheduling, and managing student records, thereby allowing educators to focus more on teaching and interacting with students. This efficiency not only saves time but also reduces human error in administrative processes.

A case study from Singapore’s Ministry of Education, published in Educational Management and Administration, reports that AI-driven administrative systems have reduced manual workload by 40%, enabling teachers to dedicate more time to curriculum development and student interaction.

Keywords: administrative efficiency, automation, educational management

3rd Canadian & International Massage Therapy Championships 2024

Director and fearless leader of an amazing team of people for the Canadian Competition is Liane Dufresne. In this picture I am with Jeppe Tengbjerg who is the director of the International Massage Association (IMA) and Tracey Windmill from Dynamic Flow Massage in Colorado who has been an inspiration to me from day one of competing. I’m humbled and overwhelmed with gratitude to receive first place in sports massage for Canada. I am honoured to have my work recognized in this way. All first place winners of each category were awarded a free participant fee for the 7th annual IMA World Championship in Copenhagen, Denmark June 28-30, 2024.

This championship took place in Laval, Quebec May 4 & 5, 2024. There were 68 competitors including 2 teams of 4 handed massage participants. There were therapists who sighed up from all across Canada including a few from the Ukraine, USA, Cameroon, Kenya, and Ghana.

There were 5 categories: Freestyle, Wellness, Facial, sports, and Swedish. Routines were 30min each under the watchful eye of 15 judges who are looking for many things including technique, biomechanics and creativity. There was also a summit happening simultaneously where the general public was able to watch the competition happen as well as visit vendors and sponsors of wellness products and interact live presenter’s speaking about massage.

This event is very special for me because the mission of the Canadian competition resonates with me deeply on many levels, specifically with the goal to raise the level of education and elevate the profession by sharing what we do. Not only was it in my home country, but it also rewards excellent massage therapist with technical skills and values the fundamental principles of massage: empathy, respect and compassion for our patients. I have been massaging since 2004, (this is my third competition World Championships in Denmark 2022 where I placed 5th in sports, the American Championships in 2023 where I place second in freestyle and third as overall champion). My advice would be to learn from your masters have a teacher who helps facilitate your learning. For me the word "competition" is more about sharing. Believe in yourself, elevate your talents, get inspired by learning new ways of doing things, then develop your own techniques and protocols. Innovation comes from passion and new ways of doing things. We all know what works for one might not work for another. Comfort zones are nice but nothing grows there, these events help us surpass ourselves and increase our confidence pushing ourselves to become better therapist for the future.

Massage championships aren’t just a place where people put their talent on the line; in fact, for many, medals are secondary. If a massage therapist only competes for the medals, they are missing out on a lot. These events are a wonderful space/time to learn, get inspired and above all to meet and exchange with other therapist, network, create new possibilities through new international friendships. A championship is an environment where quality is defined, encouraged and rewarded. And in doing so, not only does it give visibility to massage therapist, but it highlights the very elements of what makes excellent massages and excellent massage therapist. There are few places where this is done in a caring, coherent and structured manner. By creating a massage championship, people, both professionals and the public, focus on what is important. International competitions are a pretext to present a wide range of practices existing around the world and an opportunity for each massage therapist to export and expand their art beyond the walls of their clinic.

Having fun, sharing, exchanging with colleagues from all backgrounds and building strong bonds is a huge part of this industry. I do these events because I want to positively position massage therapy throughout the world in the eyes of the public. Demonstrating passion for what massage therapist do and encouraging progress, continuing learning and education will all make us better. Everyone is a winner by participating at these events, growing and elevating the profession together and all deserve the acknowledgment for the courage to do so.

More action on India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor, which is a subset of Europe’s ‘Global Gateway’ program

COGwriter

Here are reports related to the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor which is hoped by some promoters to counter some of the influence of China’s Belt & Road Initiative (also called the Silk Road Project):

14 February 2024

Prime Minister Narendra Modi struck an agreement with the United Arab Emirates to continue working on a major trade corridor linking India through the Middle East to Europe, despite the widening regional conflict stemming from the war between Israel and Hamas.

Modi met with UAE leader Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Tuesday in Abu Dhabi at the start of a three-day trip to the region, where the war and conflict in the Red Sea featured heavily in discussions, according to India’s

India’s Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra. Both leaders agreed, though, to take the first step to operationalize part of the ambitious India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor, or IMEC, he said. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/pm-modi-in-uae-pushes-ahead-with-india-mideast-europe-corridor-despite-israel-hamas-war/articleshow/107695116.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst

13 February 2024

India and the Untied Arab Emirates inked a trade deal on Tuesday to connect the subcontinent with Europe via ports in the Middle East.

The deal was announced during a visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Abu Dhabi, where he met Emirati President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

“This would build on previous understandings and cooperation on this matter and foster India and the UAE cooperation furthering regional connectivity,” India’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement. …

The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor is a proposed ship-to-rail transit network that was first touted on the sidelines of last year’s G20 summit in New Delhi. https://www.dw.com/en/modi-signs-intercontinental-trade-pact-during-uae-visit/a-68247395

This plan basically helps better connect Europe to Asia and the Middle East in order to improve trade between THEM.

Europe already has its Global Gateway project, and this is basically another aspect of it. Here is some information on something else the Global Gateway project is doing:

The 24th EU-ASEAN Ministerial Meeting follows up on the EU-ASEAN commemorative Summit of December 2022, during which the EU pledged to mobilise €10 billion for connectivity projects in ASEAN by 2027 under the Global Gateway investment strategy. Already €4.2 billion is being engaged.

To emphasise the centrality of ASEAN in the EU Indo-Pacific Strategy, ASEAN Foreign Ministers have also been invited to participate in the EU’s 3rd Indo-Pacific Ministerial Forum, to be held on the same day.

Global Gateway is the EU’s positive offer to reduce the worldwide investment disparity and boost smart, clean and secure connections in digital, energy and transport sectors, and to strengthen health, education and research systems.

The Global Gateway strategy embodies a Team Europe approach that brings together the European Union, EU Member States, and European development finance institutions. Together, we aim to mobilise up to €300 billion in public and private investments from 2021 to 2027, creating essential links rather than dependencies, and closing the global investment gap. https://international-partnerships.ec.europa.eu/news-and-events/news/global-gateway-eu-and-asean-strengthen-their-partnership-sustainable-connectivity-2024-02-02_en

The EU project is ambitious. It is intended to help ensure, that it, and not China or the USA will gain dominance. This is strategically interesting in that Europe is not intending to spend as much as China, but by being more selective about where to spend its funds, it will mainly fill in ‘gaps’ that it expects will benefit it the most. Notice that North America is NOT part of the connectivity plans.

Furthermore, unlike the Chinese plan, the European one involves infrastructure around data and communications technology.

The Bible shows that economically as the “daughter of Babylon,” Europe will rise up in this century–(cf. Revelation chapters 17 & 18)–and this Global Gateway project is another step in that direction.

Consider that while China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) itself will face various obstacles, it looks to be supportive of some biblical prophecies as roads normally work two ways. China is connecting to Asia, Africa, and Europe, hence this also connects Europe to Africa and Asia, including China.

Since the Bible teaches that it will be Europe that will dominate world trade, the BRI and Europe’s Global Gateway look to be ways that Europe will get access to markets in Asia and Africa. Roads work both ways. Furthermore, Europe has a long history of trading with Asia and Latin America and is biblically prophesied to continue to do so.

Consider that the Bible teaches the following about an end time European power:

2 … Babylon … 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury. (Revelation 18:2,3)

The above is referring to the fact that nations of the world are prophesied to get wealthy trading with end time Babylon, which will be a European entity.

Back in 1971, the old Worldwide Church of God (WCG) published the following:

Momentous, historic events are transforming Western Europe. But most Americans are “asleep at the switch” to what is happening. It’s time for a self-centered America to wake up – before her allies become her enemies. Envision the startling future of Western Europe. A … union of perhaps 250 million people, surpassing both the United States and the Soviet Union in economic strength, possessing for the first time worldwide political power and influence. One news source recently called it an “enormous, physically powerful beast.” A new Western Europe controlling perhaps half of all world trade, by exclusive arrangements with dozens of nations who produce raw materials. A “United States of Europe” possessing one single currency – a currency so strong that it will replace the U. S. dollar as the kingpin currency of world trade. (Hogberg G. EUROPE’S COMMON MARKET RISING WORLD COLOSSUS. Plain Truth, 1971)

Now we all know that Europe has its own currency–a currency that some see as the logical replacement for the US dollar for world trade. Now, let me add that less than a decade after the above was published, the WCG publicly announced that Eastern Europe would also be part of this European power. And within a decade of that, Eastern European nations began to officially join in with what has become the European Union (more in Eastern Europe have also applied to become members of the EU). And, in population, the European Union already is actually much larger than that of the USA. The Global Gateway project and the EU’s support of the G20 connectivity goals are steps intended to help Europe rise up. And, yes, most Americans are “asleep at the switch” to what is happening.

Related to the ‘Global Gateway,’ the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:

12:52

EU’s Global Gateway, Trade, and War?

The European Union announced that it planned to spend €300 billion ($340 billion) in a program called ‘Global Gateway.’ According to EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen it is a “true alternative” to China’s Belt and Road Initiative, also known as the Silk Road Project. Both the EU and Chinese projects will improve road, ports, and/or other infrastructure to connect with Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. Will this result in increased trade for Europe and Asia during the time of the Gentiles? Will Babylonian Europe dominate trade for a time? Will devastating war hit Europe with Russian and Eurasian involvement? Would infrastructure these projects are involved in be used for war? What about preparation for Armageddon? Dr. Thiel address these issues and cites biblical prophecies related to these matters.

Here is a link to our video: EU’s Global Gateway, Trade, and War?

That said, while the USA supported and praised the new connectivity initiative from the G20, the connectivity does not really connect the USA.

The Chinese and Europeans are building infrastructure in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Asia, like roads and ports. India is also involved.

This will facilitate trade, help set up for the gathering at Armageddon (watch Is China paving roads to Armageddon?), but also help the coming Beast power rise up and prosper.
