RISE Kids: A Disabilities Ministry at Markle Church of Christ
Get PDFChurches are called to be a place of belonging and welcoming to all people who walk through their doors. However, it is common that individuals and families impacted by disability are left feeling marginalized and unwelcome in the church. This paper presents a philosophy for RISE Kids, a ministry at Markle Church of Christ in Markle, Indiana that exists to provide advocacy and support for these families to promote a true sense of belonging. The goal of this paper is to provide local churches with a ministry framework to intentionally minister to individuals and families with disabilities. This paper describes the theological, anthropological, and sociological premises that impact how a disability ministry functions. Additionally, it offers a detailed description of what an individual should like after being involved in the ministry. This paper provides both a theoretical basis and a practical basis for a disability ministry seeking to disciple children and their families. Through intentional programs and practices, individuals and families impacted by disability are welcomed into a church family where they belong. As these children and families are being discipled, they are learning more about what it looks like to love God and love others
SkyForge Core: A Triple Modular Redundant Computing Architecture for Small Satellites
Get PDFAs small satellite missions grow in complexity, there is increasing demand for greater onboard computational performance. Traditional radiation-hardened processors, while reliable, are expensive, slow, and suffer from long procurement timelines. In contrast, commercial off-the-shelf processors like the Raspberry Pi offer high performance at low cost but are vulnerable to radiation-induced faults such as single-event upsets. SkyForge Core is an experimental computing system that addresses this challenge by integrating three Raspberry Pi Zero W units into a triple modular redundant architecture. The system executes identical tasks on each Pi, compares outputs using majority voting, and identifies discrepancies. If a failure occurs, the system continues operation while executing a recovery operation on the affected processor. This architecture will be demonstrated aboard a Near Space Launch smallsat in early 2026. SkyForge Core aims to validate the architecture, collect data on failure rates in low earth orbit, and characterize system performance in space
Sense and Sensibility
Get PDFThe playbill for Taylor University\u27s performance of Kate Hamill\u27s Sense and Sensibility based on the book by Jane Austen.
Performed on February 20-22, 2025 at 7:30pm and February 22-23 2025 at 2:00pm in the Mitchell Theatre at Taylor University.
Kate Hamill\u27s adaptation of Jane Austen\u27s Sense and Sensibility is a witty and fast-paced theatrical production that condenses the original novel\u27s plot while emphasizing its comedic and satirical elements. The play follows the Dashwood sisters, the pragmatic Elinor and the romantic Marianne, as they navigate the challenges of love, loss, and societal expectations after their family is left in poverty. Hamill\u27s version utilizes a gossiping chorus of actors who play multiple roles and narrate the story, creating a lively and self-aware commentary on the events. The adaptation is known for its physical comedy, inventive staging, and a heightened, almost farcical, tone that distinguishes it from more traditional adaptations, while still honoring the heart of Austen\u27s classic tale.https://pillars.taylor.edu/playbills/1387/thumbnail.jp
