The African Orphaned and Abandoned Children's Fund (AOAACF) aims to create safe spaces in Kenya for orphaned and abandoned children through feeding facilities and recreational activities. These safe spaces will provide supplies like food and educational materials, and organize activities to support literacy, protection, and psychosocial well-being. AOAACF also hopes to provide training for families to become foster homes or adopt children. For a donation of $35 per month, AOAACF can sponsor a child and help ensure resources are available to meet their needs.

KAIROS’ new Advent 2012 resource, 'Seeking Shelter: An ecumenical Advent justice journey', is now available! Inspired by Mary and Joseph’s search for shelter, the resource is based on Las Posadas, a Central American and Mexican tradition in which actors playing Mary and Joseph walk through town searching for shelter, accompanied by local church members singing and carrying bright lanterns. Turned away again and again, they finally find householders who welcome them in. Today, that search for shelter is a reality for many in our world, whether the shelter people seek is fair wages, land rights, or clean water. What is our response?

When the idea of Encompass Nutrients began, the driving force would be to make as much money as possible in order to give as much as possible. Simply put, without our mission of caring for orphans and vulnerable children around the world, Encompass Nutrients wouldn’t exist. We aren’t in it for ourselves.
"Orphans, Corruption, Careful Write, and Logging", by Ann W. Harrison and Jim Starkey. A frequent question on the Firebird Support list is "Gfix thinks my database is corrupt. How can I fix it?" The best answer may be to fix gfix itself so it reports benign errors differently from actual corruption. The most common errors reported by gfix can simply be ignored. From the beginning of InterBase to now, gfix is the least interesting of the utilities, so it's had little attention. However it requires a great deal of knowledge of database internals, so it's not easily replaced by a separately developed tool. So, from 1984 until now, gfix has reported major corruption and benign errors as if they were all the same.
What's a benign error? Usually, it's an artifact from the sudden death of a Firebird server that leaves obsolete record versions or even whole empty pages orphaned - neither released nor in use. Orphans represent lost space, but have no other damaging effect on the database. Orphaned record versions and pages occur because Firebird carefully orders its page writes to avoid the need for before or after logs. Database management systems that rely on logging for durability and recovery write each piece of data twice - once to a log and later to the database. Careful write requires discipline in programming. In 1984, careful write had performance advantages that more than made up for the need for careful programming.
This talk and paper explore the cause of "orphan" pages and record versions, Firebird's careful write I/O architecture, and the trade-offs between careful write and logging today.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
