Direct Address
Sometimes the pastoral prayers we ministers offer in church sound more like essays about the sorry state of the world, or commercials for the great things our church is up to, or great long laundry lists of needs, or sneaky sideways sermons disguised as prayers. It's not often that they sound as if we're engaged in authentic direct address, that we're actually talking to God. We just talk away, inserting God's name into these disquisitions every five or six sentences to remind ourselves and the congregation that all the stuff we're saying is a prayer, or maybe to justify it as one.
It's no wonder that people in the pews have a hard time when it's their turn to pray aloud. Most of the time, people who are invited to offer prayers during the set-aside time in Sunday services don't even start out by addressing God, but say indirect things like, "A prayer for my friend, Jim, who's being operated on today," or " A thanksgiving for my niece who made the swim team last week," or "That there might be peace in the world." Hardly anyone says, "Thank you, dear God, for the great joy my niece feels after making the team," or "Gracious God, I'm worried about my friend, Jim. Please be with him," or "God of Love, make us stop warring and learn to make peace." It's hard enough to talk in public, let alone really pray in front of everyone; harder still if you don't have the proverbial role model to give you a sense of what prayer could be like, if only.
Of course, there are, or I hope there are, many exceptions to my observation—pastors and worship leaders and basic regular people in the pews who have a talent for praying deeply and openly to a God they love and trust, who enter the mystery of prayer with a kind of anticipatory awe; and who don't really care all that much if their prayer—even the prayer they may have written out ahead of time—is syntactically all put together or even all that intelligible or lovely or meaningful or earnest, just as long as it is really prayer, really a conversation with the Holy about the deepest things the people have on their hearts; a prayer that the whole assembly will, of course, overhear, but one that they don't necessarily have to grasp fully with their brains in order to know that prayer is happening, that God is the addressee and the interlocutor, that the conversation is real, and that it matters.
A great mystic of our day, South African Bishop Desmond Tutu, was once asked to offer prayer at the start of a big anti-apartheid event. And so he raised his hands and prayed. Then he did a little dance and prayed some more. When he was done, he grinned and sat back down. Afterwards, a woman in the receiving line said to him, a little annoyed, "I didn't understand a word you said!" Tutu shot back, "Of course not, ma'am. I wasn't talking to you."

Send Lazarus [Luke 16:19-31]
Museum of Romanesque Art, Barcelona. Wall painting from San Clemente, Tahull (Lléida).
Several years ago, I was attending church in a well-to-do neighborhood of Boston. One Sunday, the deacons announced a new policy to deal with beggars who showed up at the office looking for handouts. They would no longer give out small amounts of cash. Instead, they would give out vouchers good for groceries at local supermarkets. They were very clear, however, that the vouchers would not be valid for alcohol, lottery tickets, or tobacco.
At coffee hour, people spoke approvingly of this decision. Everybody knew that for years the church's money had been ending up in the cash register of Marty's Liquors. Nobody wanted the church to be an "enabler," but they didn't want to turn people away empty-handed either. Grocery vouchers seemed like a good way to help without doing harm.
Now, I was feeling peevish that morning, not in control of my mood or my mouth. Thus it was that I asked what the deacons would do if a beggar didn't want to buy groceries, but wanted to rent a DVD of "The Sound of Music," or maybe take a Duck Tour of Boston, or buy a few carnations to brighten the corner where he lives?
This was not well-received, and the conversation went downhill fast. I was to blame, of course. It was an unfair thing to say, even for someone feeling peevish and looking to make a point. Everyone, including me, knows that beggars who show up at church doorsteps are not usually looking to spend an evening with Julie Andrews. Many are homeless, drifters, active alcoholics, mentally-ill. Not a few are con artists who give you a long detailed spiel about their woes. If you were to give them all money, sooner or later you'd get taken for an expensive ride, or you'd do real harm. And if word got out on the street that St. Polycarp-by-the-Pool was dispensing cold cash from the front office, it could even get dangerous.
So it's no surprise that most churches have adopted a no-cash- approach to helping people who wander in from the street. The voucher plan was prudent. It was plain old good stewardship, for us and for them. It also gave the deacons a warm feeling. One deacon remarked that the church should be proud that our vouchers would keep street people from guzzling or gambling, and get them to eat a healthy meal for a change. I valued my life and didn't say out loud what I was thinking about that—namely, that if the voucher plan was really aimed at getting street people to eat, say, more leafy green vegetables, then we should have put red meat on the exclusion list along with the booze, the scratch tickets, and the smokes.
Vouchers? Okay, fine. It makes a certain sense. But did we need to be so tickled about it? Why were we congratulating ourselves? Wasn't it enough that we were the ones who had the wherewithal? The ones who got to stake out the ethical territory? The ones who could designate the proper objects of our compassion and choose the precise terms of our generosity? Wasn't it enough that we were in a position to shape other people's morality?
You'd think that upon announcing the voucher plan, we all would have had the good grace to feel a little embarrassed. You'd think that we would have reminded ourselves that the proper posture for giving someone a food voucher is not on your high horse, but on your knees.
Lazarus was a beggar who could have used a voucher. He was starving, lusting after Dives' garbage. We don't know much about him; the parable lacks the sort of data people like to have when deciding whether and how to help. We do know his name (he is the only character in Jesus' parables to be given one), but we don't know how he ended up starving at the rich man's door. We don't know if he was one of the 'deserving' poor, or whether he'd been a lazy, drug-addicted oaf, or simply peevish and ill-tempered like me. We don't know whether he cornered the rich man every time he left the house to pelt him with pathetic stories of woe, or whether he just lay there, mute, day after day. All we know is that he was at the gate, open-sored, hungry, and visible.
And that, Luke seems to say, is all we need to know to predict the reversal ahead.
We don't have much information about the rich man either. Did he invite friends over to laugh and point at Lazarus, have his goons lean on the beggar to scare him off, gag at the sight of dogs licking his sores? We don't know if he was a cold fellow who habitually averted his eyes from unpleasantness, or a self-preoccupied man who never saw the beggar; or if he did notice him, said an honest prayer for a sorry case, but stuck to his policy of never giving cash to street people, for all the high-minded reasons those deacons had decided on vouchers. We know only that he was rich, dressed well, ate well, and enjoyed his confortable life.
If you've read the gospels half-awake, you aren't surprised by that reversal. Jesus is unnervingly repetitious about the mortal risks the wealthy run—so much so that two chapters later, the disciples get exasperated with him: "But (if what you say is true), Lord, how can anyone be saved?" It's a familiar theme with an expected twist.
Yet there's something in this story of reversal that has always struck me as odd. When the rich man wakes up in Hades, he is up to his neck in flames, but he doesn't seem to realize that his new situation is for real and for good. He doesn't seem to grasp that there is no way out, even for a Somebody like him.
Of course it's not lost on him that he's suffering, and that his wealth and Egyptian cotton underwear have been shot to hell. No doubt he's sorry now that he failed to do right by Lazarus in life and would do things differently if he had another chance. But even hellfire has not burned away the capacity for self-delusion that made it easy for him to sin so greatly by omission while he was alive. In the afterlife, he has no wherewithal, but the stubborn residue of wherewithal remains. Privilege clings to him, even in hell.
"Send Lazarus," he says.
This is not an idle line. It betrays life-long habits of command and control, habits that now make him oddly insensible to the gravity of his situation. He thinks he can still make things happen. He thinks he is still maneuvering in the earthly geography of status, power, wealth, and worth. He now recognizes that Lazarus is a man he should have helped more in life, but even now he wouldn't trust him with cash. At best he will let Lazarus be his gofer. "Send Lazarus to bring me a drink."
The rich man may be a damned man, but he is an important damned man who, as a courtesy, out of deference, should be exempt from the unrelenting thirst that so many others have known, exempt from the thirst of the beggar outside the gate.
It doesn't work, but he isn't deterred. "Well, then, if you won't send him over here to me, send him to my kin as a warning." The rich man believes that even in hell no problem is insoluble if you can just get your best people working on it, or if you have the right connections. God is bound to make an exception for people in the network: it's one of those perks that money used to buy.
But there is no good news for the rich man. Abraham's reply is truly terrible: Some outcomes cannot be altered. Some lines cannot be crossed. Things eventually harden. It is too late. There is no return. "Between you and us a great chasm is fixed," says Father Abraham. Even the progenitor of the faith cuts no ice with a God determined to be just to the poor.
This is a bleak and unforgiving parable, one of the harshest stories in the gospels. It warns us broadly about the moral peril we incur if we ignore the needs of the poor who lie begging at our gates all the time while we go about the business of being and having and doing in a routine of indifference. But it also warns us about the delusion that persists in us even after we have seen the error of our ways and been shown the truth; even after we have acknowledged and acted on our duty of mercy towards others.
It speaks of the stubborn residue of privilege that clings to our egos and produces in our souls a mostly unconscious and unexamined confidence, a confidence that permeates and perverts even good deeds and intentions; a confidence that leads us to assume that because of who we are, we know what's good for ourselves and for others, we can influence outcomes, we can define and ensure our own and others' integrity.
The deep chasm in eternity that is fixed between Lazarus and the rich man is a snapshot of the scandalous distance that exists between the poor and the privileged here on earth. But it also depicts the chasm that exists inside each of us—the distance between our unthinking entitlement, condescension and judgment, and the sublime reality and true privilege of simple creaturehood; the distance between thinking of ourselves as self-made and the humility of knowing Who in fact made us, and of owing ourselves completely to that Other; the humility that establishes us in common cause and kinship with every human being and every creature, and makes plausible and possible our ideals of mutuality, love and justice.
There's no final grace, no last minute reprieve in this parable for the privileged, entitled, self-deluded rich man; but we can hear some good news in it for us, for we are still living and thus still susceptible to a breakthrough. We can still hear Moses and the prophets. We can still listen to Jesus. We can still help each other to love being creatures and to love each other because of our common human condition, and to aspire to nothing more or nothing less.
There is no second chance for the man in the story, but there can be for us. We resemble him more than we know, but the God who makes the sun to shine on the wicked and the benighted as well as on the good and the just is ever-able to illumine our ignorance of our human condition and reveal our creaturehood to us as an unfathomable mercy. From the One who made us, there is courage, grace and healing at every turn, and Jesus promises that it will not be denied to the humble, searching, contrite and broken heart. Our task is to live fully into the calling issued by God from the beginning: to be creatures with our Creator, to be who we are before God and one another, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.
To love them as ourselves.
It is hard, but it is possible. We have the Holy Spirit. We have the church's ancient means of grace—prayer, sacrament, song, service. We have God's Word. We have each other. And we have today.
And thank God for that, because this sober parable tell us plainly that for us who have the wherewithal for so much good and do not do it, there might be no tomorrow.

Happy Sin [Luke 15:7]
I tell you truly, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need to repent.
Jesus says that God is much happier when we sin and repent than when we don't. So maybe it's good that the lamb went astray. If it hadn't, neither the shepherd nor God would have known the unique delight Jesus speaks of.
Since repenting makes heaven so all-fired happy, maybe we should sin a lot more. Then, when we're done, we could say, "Oops, sorry!", electrifying Paradise with that special thrill.
Well, we could do that, but it's probably not what Jesus had in mind. And yet he seems to say that there are worse things we could do than sin, worse things we could be than bad. We could strive to be better people—the sort of better people who believe they are better than other people. We could go out of our way to avoid icky sinners, putting cold, contemptuous miles between us and them.
To sin, go astray, do harm, fall flat on our willful faces—none of that's good exactly, but at least it's real. At least it doesn't separate or distinguish us from anybody else. At least it makes for human solidarity. And any kind of solidarity is better than distance, exclusion, and contempt.
Besides, if we didn't sin, God would just stay home and read the paper all day instead of lighting out into the canyons and brambles of life to find us by the whimpers of our lost and shivering hearts. It's wrong to say that sin repels God. Sin is a God Magnet. Wherever there's a sinner with a sin, God is there.
So yes, by all means, we should be sad and sorry for our sins. But we should be grateful and glad for our sins, too. Think where we'd be without them.
Prayer Searching Shepherd, it's weirdly paradoxical and maybe even a little wrong to thank you for my sins, but I do. Without them, I'm lost. With them, I'm found. Praise to you forever. Amen.

Here's why KC Concepcion is not a fan of complex skin care
by Nikko Tuazon
KC Concepcion talked about her skincare routine in an interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at the launch of Shiseido Synchro Skin Foundation held last September 9 in Powerplant Mall, Makati City.

The beauty world has recently become a fan of the 10 to 12-step Korean skin care, but KC Concepcion still prefers to keep things simple.
KC talked about her beauty regimen in an interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at the launch of Shiseido Synchro Skin Foundation held on September 9, 2019, in Powerplant Mall, Makati City.
The 34-year-old actress-jewelry designer says she keeps a basic routine that has just four steps: cleanse, tone, moisturize, and apply sunblock.
For KC, if you must always use make-up, then it's best if the product also comes with skin-care benefits.
She explains, "Honestly, I really try to use make-up kasi if you put too much on your face, sometimes, dun nagbe-break out, e.
"Yung parang, 'Ah, maganda pala ito,' lagay, 'O, ito rin maganda raw ito,' lagay.
"Parang ang dami-dami nang laman.
"So if you can find something na all-in-one, it's simpler, and then it can be a little, also, safer to use siguro, kasi you're not mixing different chemicals."
KC further reveals that she uses jojoba oil as a moisturizer since it has anti-bacterial and oil-controlling properties.
The Kapamilya talent says, "To be honest, the only moisturizer I use is jojoba oil. And then, the foundation is hydrating. I try not to put too much kasi mainit dito e.
"My skin is dry e, so I always use foundations with hydration kasi kung hindi, it's too dry naman if hindi."

The 7th UK Young Coastal Scientists and Engineers Conference welcomed 60 scientists and engineers to come together and discuss coastal research. The conference was hosted by the National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool, 30–31 March 2011. Early career practitioners and researchers presented 42 short papers on a range of topics driven by current issues addressed by UK universities, government agencies and consultancies. Although all presentations had a coastal theme, content varied from small-scale processes to regional-scale monitoring and management, covering topics such as structure impact, sediment transport, morphology, waves, currents, ecology, oxygen, estuarine systems, stratification, modelling, observation, ice, renewables and extreme events. This paper presents the keynote lecture and six abstracts considered to be of particular merit by the panel of judges. The conference continues to travel the UK and will be held at Bangor University in 2012.


The Vitaly an Evening of Wonders show is interactive, but that doesn't mean you have to sit in the first row to participate. He bounded up and down stairs during the show, going to the top aisles on both sides to get volunteers, in addition to using volunteers down lower. For the last illusion, which uses drivers' licenses, everyone can pony up and yours might be chosen when he's on stage.

He performs around 10 different illusions, which doesn't sound like very many, but they were not quick hits. They often involved getting audience members up on stage or him going back and forth between audience members. None disappointed.
-drawing a leaf (and later a rose) on a sketch pad, and it came to life and came off the page.
-having audience members pick a drawing that he reproduced without seeing what they picked. That might be old hat to some, but for one of them, his brush painted it hands-free.
-He had three audience members sit on stage, while he was blindfolded (with duct tape over his eyes). He previously had the three members choose tea, wine or water, and then they moved seats so they wouldn't be in the same position. He found the right bottles and poured them into the right glasses, (without touching the glasses) and then served them to the right people.
-He did a card trick where two audience members wrote on a card and they tore the corner off it, and then it moved from on stage (in one audience member's hands) to the card holder/deck another audience member (directly in front of me) was holding.
-He did a card trick where a card an audience member signed was transported into an empty water bottle.
-Perhaps the most astonishing illusions involved photographs. He showed photos (and had an audience member up there with him) and then he rubbed them together to have the person on the photo transfer to another photo – sometimes in the same position, sometimes standing in a different way (like sideways). He did this several different ways. And sometimes you could see things MOVE on the photo. See it here.
-Following this was the drivers' license illusion, where he took audience members' licenses and rubbed faces off, and rubbed one face onto another license. And then had an audience member read off one dead celebrity name that others in the audience had written down earlier, and made that face appear on the license (and then blink). In the New York, New Jersey area, he had plenty of fodder for jokes about the smiling or unsmiling faces on the licenses. And he took full advantage.
Is Vitaly appropriate for kids?
This review of Vitaly off Broadway says YES! It's a show for all ages. There is no inappropriate language or subject matter. Even my jaded teen was impressed, starting from the very beginning of the show. We saw young kids in the audience as well as older adults.
Accessibility: The theater is not handicap accessible. It's an old building with no elevator. There are stairs leading up to the second floor and stairs to get to the bathroom. The Westside Theater's website has more detailed information. For that reason, if someone isn't able to climb stairs, the show may be out of reach.
Vitaly show length: The show is less than two hours, with a short intermission.
When: He's doing the traditional 8 shows per week, including a Saturday and Sunday matinee. Shows go through September.
Tickets: You can get Vitaly an Evening of Wonder tickets on the website, as well as through discount Broadway ticket sites. The theater is intimate.
Theater: Vitaly an Evening of Wonders is at the Westside Theater, on 43rd street between 9th and 10th Avenues (407 W. 43rd).
Disclosure: We two review tickets to review the show. All opinions and writing are my own.

Q: StackOverflowError: stack size 16KB I am facing "StackOverflowError: stack size 16KB" in Android 5.1.1 version when an application tries to create thread of stack size "1024000". Below is the crash message.
But this issue is gone when the stack size is rounded up by 1024. (1025024). In the below example m_uStackSize is the stack size.
I tried to debug the thread calls in libc.so. But no clues so far. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Please use below link for backtracking log.

Edit 1:
pthread_attr_t     threadAttr;

struct sched_param schedParams;

VPTYPE_RETURN      result;

pthread_attr_init(&threadAttr);

pthread_attr_setstacksize(&threadAttr, m_uStackSize);

pthread_attr_setdetachstate(&threadAttr, PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED);

pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(&threadAttr, SCHED_OTHER);

int priMax = sched_get_priority_max(SCHED_OTHER);

int priMin = sched_get_priority_min(SCHED_OTHER);

schedParams.sched_priority = priMin + (((255 - m_uPriority) * (priMax - priMin)) / 255);

pthread_attr_setschedparam(&threadAttr, &schedParams);

result = pthread_create(&m_threadHandle, &threadAttr, (void*(*)(void*))staticEntryPoint, this);

pthread_attr_destroy(&threadAttr);

One more thing to be noted. I am developing BSP for Android Device. This code sample is from application, which runs with no issues with other standard Android devices and mobiles.
So issue seems with BSP,from the crash messages I can see it is in libc.

Q: Optimizing for random reads First of all, I am using MongoDB 3.0 with the new WiredTiger storage engine. Also using snappy for compression.
The use case I am trying to understand and optimize for from a technical point of view is the following;
I have a fairly large collection, with about 500 million documents that takes about 180 GB including indexes.
Example document:
{
  _id: 123234,
  type: "Car",
  color: "Blue",
  description: "bla bla"
}

Queries consist of finding documents with a specific field value. Like so;
thing.find( { type: "Car" } )

In this example the type field should obviously be indexed. So far so good. However the access pattern for this data will be completely random. At a given time I have no idea what range of documents will be accessed. I only know that they will be queried on indexed fields, returning at the most 100000 documents at a time.
What this means in my mind is that the caching in MongoDB/WiredTiger is pretty much useless. The only thing that needs to fit in the cache are the indexes. An estimation of the working set is hard if not impossible?
What I am looking for is mostly tips on what kinds of indexes to use and how to configure MongoDB for this kind of use case. Would other databases work better?
Currently I find MongoDB to work quite well on somewhat limited hardware (16 GB RAM, non SSD disc). Queries return in decent time and obviously instantly if the result set is already in the cache. But as already stated this will most likely not be the typical case. It is not critical that the queries are lightning fast, more so that they are dependable and that the database will run in a stable manner.
EDIT:
Guess I left out some important things. The database will be mostly for archival purposes. As such, data arrives from another source in bulk, say once a day. Updates will be very rare.
The example I used was a bit contrived but in essence that is what queries look like. When I mentioned multiple indexes I meant the type and color fields in that example. So documents will be queried on using these fields. As it is now, we only care about returning all documents that have a specific type, color etc. Naturally, the plan we have is to only query on fields that we have an index for. So ad-hoc queries are off the table.
Right now the index sizes are quite manageable. For the 500 million documents each of these indexes are about 2.5GB and fit easily in RAM.
Regarding average data size of an operation, I can only speculate at this point. As far as I know, typical operations return about 20k documents, with an average object size in the range of 1200 bytes. This is the stat reported by db.stats() so I guess it is for the compressed data on disc, and not how much it actually takes once in RAM.
Hope this bit of extra info helped!

A: Basically, if you have a consistent rate of reads that are uniformly at random over type (which is what I'm taking

I have no idea what range of documents will be accessed

to mean), then you will see stable performance from the database. It will be doing some stable proportion of reads from cache, just by good luck, and another stable proportion by reading from disk, especially if the number and size of documents are about the same between different type values. I don't think there's a special index or anything to help you besides just better hardware. Indexes should remain in RAM because they'll constantly be being used.
I suppose more information would help, as you mention only one simple query on type but then talk about having multiple indexes to worry about keeping in RAM. How much data does the average operation return? Do you ever care to return a subset of docs of certain type or only all of them? What do inserts and updates to this collection look like?
Also, if the documents being read are truly completely random over the dataset, then the working set is all of the data.


Brampton has been seeing some major developments lately from Primont Homes. The newest addition to the urbanizing suburb is a sleek pre-construction condo coming to the charming Mount Pleasant community of this city.
M Condos is slated for a 2020 occupancy date. It is locatedat the Northwest corner of Sandalwood Parkway and Veterans Drive. Placed in an urban transit village, it will stand at 8 storeys and house 75 Units. The development will have a variety of unit layouts available, ranging in size from 572 to 1,356 square feet.
Complete with a stone facade and stucco detailings, this development's exteriors mixed materials make for a unique and modern aesthetic. It stands out in the expanding area as a good example of what we can expect to see more of in the community.
The mid-rise makes a strong first impression not only with its unique architecture, but also with its luxurious, expansive lobby that sets the tone for the modern, up to date development.
At 8 storeys, the building houses 75 units ranging from one-bedroom to three-bedroom layouts. The latter makes this the perfect choice for growing families to start making roots in the growing suburban neighbourhood.
The tower's bright, open-concept units will come complete with light-filled bedrooms, spa inspired bathrooms, and chef-inspired finishes in kitchens for the passionate cook and/or host. Residents can anticipate stainless steel appliances, designer kitchen cabinets, and high ceilings.
Amenities on the premises are equally luxurious, not limited to a multi-purpose room and equipped fitness center for resident use.
Brampton is only headed upwards in terms of its centrality, especially with the Hurontario light rail transit (LRT) project on its way. The transit system is projected to connect the Mississauga lakefront with downtown Brampton. The line is expected to span 26 stops.
This development will conveniently place you right by the Mount Pleasant GO station, which makes for seamless travel into the city. Young professionals, especially those looking to make roots and grow a family, will enjoy having such seamless travel into the city while living in a cozy and flourishing suburb.
The GO will make it easy to commute into the city's job hubs like the Financial District and Entertainment District -- specifically, the GO bus makes for a half hour commute into Toronto. Other avenues to getting into the city on a day to day basis includes an upcoming Züm bus rapid service.
Commuters with cars will also find it convenient to get into the city, by having easy access to Highways 407, 410 and the 401.
The neighbourhood provides superior access to the city, but also is home to its own entertainment sources. The Bramalea City Centre and Brampton Mall are shopping centres that will fill all of your retail needs. Mississauga's central Square One is also easily accessible for a day trip.
Shopping isn't the only entertainment source in the area however, as dining is plentiful in the community with options like the gourmet burger joint The Works, and restaurants like Vesuvio Ristorante, La Capannina Restaurant and Fanzorelli's Restaurant & Wine Bar.
Young professionals are likely to flock to this development that provides a variety of layouts that accommodate for growing families. The calm, charismatic neighbourhood with plenty of elementary schools in the area is also slated for a future Ryerson campus, making it appealing to families with growing children taking the next steps in their education. Additional post secondary institutions nearby include Sheridan College Davis Campus, and the University of Toronto Mississauga Campus.
Families on the go will also enjoy the convenience of being close to a variety of grocery store including FreshCo and Fortinos.
The time to invest in this development is now, as the growing demographic of young families will only rise as the neighbourhood continues to develop.
Primont is a 50 year old real estate developer group that has over 3,000 homes under their belt in the GTA. They are a trusted name in the industry who focuses on building on prime locations with elegance, design, customer service and craftsmanship in mind.

The ASRC is looking for the next generation of leaders with lived experience of seeking asylum to take part in CAPP 2022.
What is CAPP 2022?
The ASRC's Community, Advocacy & Power Program (CAPP) is a three-month intensive training program to equip people with lived experience of seeking asylum with the leadership skills necessary to become powerful advocates for the refugee community.
What training opportunities will be available to CAPP 2022 participants?
In 2022 the ASRC will work with partners to train leaders from Hobart and Sydney. In particular, the program seeks to develop emerging leaders by developing their skills across the following areas:
Advocacy and campaigning, organising and mobilising
Media, public speaking and messaging
Social media and digital communication
Facilitation and event management
Leadership skills to train members in their own communities
In each state, trainers and professional mentors with experience in writing, journalism, storytelling, digital media, advocacy and campaigning, organising and mobilising, will support and share their knowledge and experience with course participants.
At the completion of the intensive program, participants in each state will be supported to take part in public talks, media activities and advocacy events, providing opportunities to put their new skills into practice. Participants will also be resourced to train others in their communities and upon graduation will be connected to relevant networks across Australia.
Benefits for participants
The program will amplify the voices of people with lived experience, supporting participants to build the confidence and skills necessary to effectively influence the narrative within the media and Australian communities regarding refugees and asylum seekers.
Each participant will be assigned a relevant and high-profile buddy and mentor to assist them with their personal development and advocacy project work.
Participants will receive coaching to help them develop their public profile and introductions to our large network of human rights advocates.
Graduates will be linked to the ASRC speakers program and supported to share their stories with the broader Australian community.
Graduates will be awarded with a small financial grant to train other members of their own community with the skills they have learnt, providing opportunities for more people to have their voices heard.
The ASRC will provide other ongoing support to graduates to help them mobilise and unite communities to create lasting social and policy change for refugees and people seeking asylum
The 2022 program is open to members of culturally and linguistically diverse communities in Tasmania, and New South Wales and people with lived experience as refugees or of seeking asylum.
Women and young people over the age of 18 are strongly encouraged to apply.

Stability AI Selects AWS as Its Preferred Cloud Provider to Build Artificial Intelligence for the Future
By STS News Desk on December 1, 2022
Leading open-source artificial intelligence startup trains foundational models 58% faster and more cost efficiently using Amazon SageMaker on AWS
At AWS re:Invent, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company, announced that Stability AI, a community-driven, open-source artificial intelligence (AI) company, has selected AWS as its preferred cloud provider to build and scale its AI models for image, language, audio, video, and 3D content generation. Stability AI uses Amazon SageMaker (AWS's end-to-end machine learning service), as well as AWS's proven compute infrastructure and storage, to accelerate its work on open-source generative AI models. In addition, Stability AI will collaborate with AWS to make its open-source tools and models available to students, researchers, startups, and enterprises around the world.
Stability AI offers generative AI models that create text, images, audio, video, code, and more from simple text instructions. Generative AI or foundational models—models that are adaptable to a variety of tasks in domains such as language, image, audio, and video—require a high-performance compute cluster with thousands of GPUs or AWS Trainium chips, advanced expertise, and months of training. The company recently released Stable Diffusion Version 2.0, which features open-source models for state-of-the-art image generation, allowing users to create new images from user-supplied text and image inputs. This latest open-source release also introduces models to upscale image resolution and infer depth information to generate new images.

"Only AWS offers the scale, reliability, and efficiency to deliver the next generation of AI with Stability AI, which will enable billions of people to create stunning art within seconds"
Stability AI will use Amazon SageMaker to build and train machine learning models, reducing training time and costs by 58% compared to self-managed machine learning infrastructure. The company is provisioning one of the largest clusters of machine learning instances to run its open-source models on AWS using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), making it easier for developers to access those models. Going forward, Stability AI plans to use AWS machine learning and AI services to build and train future models to achieve the best performance at the lowest cost. Stability AI will also make its open-source models available on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, the model hub of Amazon SageMaker, for all AWS customers.
"At Stability AI, our mission is to build the foundation to activate humanity's potential through AI," said Emad Mostaque, founder and CEO of Stability AI. "AWS has played an integral role in scaling our open-source foundation models across modalities. We are delighted to run these models on Amazon SageMaker to enable tens of thousands of developers and millions of users to leverage the power of AI with a robust set of tools. We look forward to seeing the amazing things that developers build and customers design and implement using collective intelligence and augmented technology."
"Only AWS offers the scale, reliability, and efficiency to deliver the next generation of AI with Stability AI, which will enable billions of people to create stunning art within seconds," said Bratin Saha, vice president of Machine Learning and AI Services at Amazon. "Amazon SageMaker will help Stability AI scale its use of machine learning with end-to-end tooling, empowering developers to innovate AI applications and dream up new use cases. We are excited to help them invent new products, services, and experiences for the world with the proven performance of one of the largest-ever clusters of machine learning instances in the cloud."

Showcasing the spirit of sport
Tuesday 2 August 2022 | Written by Supplied | Published in Commonwealth Games, Sports
Cook Islands boxer Tawhiri Toheriri-Hallett with his Cyprus opposition. Photo: SUPPLIED/22080118
Team Cook Islands have kicked off their campaign with some spectacular highlights and efforts displayed from young talent coming through, despite our tough start to the games.
Day 1 action on Saturday proved our lawn bowlers are truly up against some fierce competition and with the success from the last games have created a target on their backs. Yet, in true Cook Islands spirit they are not going down without a fight. Rarotongan based athlete, Nooroa Mataio, bravely stepped up and qualified for the quarter finals in Women's Singles after a tough day for other categories. Her journey fell short after going down to a fierce Malaysian competitor.
Lanihei Connolly, a young swimming sensation, sparked the team with pride as she made it through to the 50 metre Women's Breaststroke semi-final. She continued to display such world class maturity, continuing to smash expectations by qualifying for the semifinal in women's 100m Breaststroke. Cook Islands Sports and National Olympic Committee (CISNOC) secretary general Owen Lewis was incredibly impressed with the swimmer as he dubbed Lani "an up and coming force to be reckoned with". The emphasis on Connolly being the fact that she has well and truly made the nation proud debuting with Team Cook Islands at the youthful age of 16 and performing with such a mature presence. Connolly's final placing in the games was 14th place overall.
Over the last four days the highlight of the games has been witnessed out of competition action with another Team Cook Islands debutante, Tawhiri Toheriri-Hallett.
At 22 years old Tawhiri has truly shown the spirit of sport in displaying the value of fair play and capturing the hearts of many nations with his brave boxing performance.
Shortly after a tough fight, Tawhiri took time to offer a few tips to a budding Birmingham five-year-old boy who attended the games with his family.
Absolutely captivated by our Cook Islands middleweight boxer, the bright-eyed boy drew a small crowd to witness a quick beginners boxing lesson.

Henry Shaw wanted fine music and works of art in his Tower Grove Park, so he hired architects to build cupola-covered bandstands and commissioned artists to produce sculptures, including marble busts of his favorite composers—Mozart, Rossini, Wagner, Beethoven, Gounod, and Verdi. Busts of Sullivan and Donizetti were planned for the last two pedestals, but Shaw passed away before they could be produced, so simple marble spheres took their place. Beginning in 1873, Shaw provided free Sunday concerts during summer months, featuring at least one piece by one of the composers represented on the busts. The badly deteriorated original busts were put in storage at the park in 1992 and replaced with the replica composite stone sculptures that are on view today. Several of the original pieces are on view in the Piper Palm House in Tower Grove Park.
