Some people find it tedious to pray the rosary because of the repetitive prayers but what the rosary is is a meditation on the lives of Jesus and Mary. Get into the habit of praying the rosary with your kids by showing them these paintings of every mystery as you meditate on each event and its "fruit".
Way of the Cross by St. Alphonsus di LiguoriSheryl Coronel
The Way of the Cross is an indulgenced prayer. Many saints meditate on the Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus, attesting that it is the meditation that best generates feelings of love and tenderness toward Jesus.

Design in the Age of Synthetic RealitiesAndy Polaine
Presentation at UX Australia 2019
AI-generated and mixed realities are blurring the boundaries of “truth” and challenging how we value it. Synthetic Realities have reached new heights of sophistication, sparking controversy, and also fascination, about its creative possibilities.
Customers will increasingly expect brands to meet them halfway to supplement the realities they desire. Next, they will expect reality to adapt to them in real time without any conscious request. And the role of designers will be to set the stage on which these experiences happen, often curating AI systems rather than designing themselves.
UX practitioners face the double task of designing the interfaces to these new products, tools and services as well as seeing design for digital disrupted as radically as the invention of Photoshop and desktop publishing did three decades ago. If anyone can summon up an entirely generated image or an interface just by speaking its description, what is the future role of the designer?
The mixture of fear and fascination of the power of synthetic media is understandable but wrongly frames its future trajectory. This talk takes a view on synthetic realities not as something brand new, but the latest iteration of a long history of re-defining truth and reality through media manipulation.
Using visually compelling examples from the latest research and work in synthetic and generated media and charting their convergence, we'll see just how quickly they will be absorbed by culture, radically shake-up the fields of design, advertising and marketing in a very short time-frame, and transform the role of future designers and creatives. It raises important questions of design, ethics, and craft that the UX and broader design community will have to find answers to pretty damn quickly.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
