Forget Siri. When Mark Zuckerberg wants an artificial intelligence-driven assistant, he recruits the "Voice of God."
The Facebook CEO and cofounder posted a video teasing an artificial intelligence application on Tuesday that he built for his home, voiced by none other than actor Morgan Freeman.
In October, Zuckerberg asked his followers for suggestions to be the voice for Jarvis, his AI tool inspired by Iron Man. Freeman was a top pick.
Zuckerberg personally called Freeman to ask him to do it. Robert Downey Jr. had also offered his services.
Like Amazon's Alexa, Jarvis can be activated by voice (or by text) and connect with various objects in the home.
In the video, the assistant is shown adjusting thermostats, making toast for breakfast and buzzing Zuckerberg's parents into his home by recognizing their faces.
Jarvis can also play music on command — or choose not to, as the case may be.
"Play us some good Nickleback songs," Zuckerberg asks in the video. "I'm sorry Mark, I'm afraid I can't do that," Jarvis responds with Freeman's iconic voice. "There are no good Nickleback songs."
AI burn.
The video is intended to be a "fun summary and not a live demo," according to Zuckerberg.
An actual demo provided to Fast Company proved to have a few more glitches when turning off lights and playing music.
Zuckerberg made it his New Year's resolution to "build a simple AI to run my home and help me with my work." The project proved more challenging than he expected.
He struggled to find appliances whose power could be controlled remotely by an app and had to figure out the nuances of language used to request songs. In total, he spent about 100 hours building Jarvis — while running Facebook.
"As the CEO of Facebook, I don't get much time to write code in our internal environment. I've never stopped coding, but these days I mostly build personal projects like Jarvis," Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post this week.
In the future, Zuckerberg hopes to build an Android app for Jarvis and connect it to more appliances and rooms in his home.
"My goal was to learn about the state of artificial intelligence," Zuckerberg wrote in the post, "where we're further along than people realize and where we're still a long ways off."

Limted to 450. Clear vinyl. Following on from two very limited 7-inch singles released in 2010, Low Point is proud to present the debut album from the Nottingham group Kogumaza. Recorded at the band's own Way-Out Is The Way Out studio, Kogumaza's self-titled LP is two side-long cut-and-paste pieces of purposefully dense, bizarre and heavy music. Beautiful percussion patterns support cyclic riffs of thick, shimmering fuzz as primitive melodies and harmonies are layered on top of each other. Hypnotic loops emerge from the murk and reveal themselves, spiralling into your brain to remain lodged there, sound-tracking your most mundane actions with a peaceful pulse forever more. By using just two electric guitars tuned in unison and a stripped down drum kit, Kogumaza make music designed to create the space and potential for personal epiphanies (big and small) on the part of the listener. In this way, they are closer to the reflective qualities of rhythm-less ambient music than they are to the bluster of rock or metal and their infinite sub-genres. Kogumaza's desire to manipulate and mask their output both live, (courtesy of fourth member Mark Spivey who operates from behind the sound desk) and on record brings a dub-like sensibility and sensuousness to the band's sound, maximising the potential for third-mind lift-off at all times. Your own participation in this is enthusiastically encouraged.
Side A: Cosmonaut / Lowland Hundred / Bells / Tensor Tympani Side B: Swang / Concentric Spheres / Bruxist / Cosmist

Tissue Donor
When Lauren was born we had no idea how our life was going to change. I know every new parent says that but ours was different. At 6 months we were concerned that Lauren was not meeting her developmental milestones. We started therapies with her. She was going through all kinds of medical testing. And it wasn't until she was 10 years old that we finally got a diagnosis. Even though a treatment was available it proved to be unsuccessful in older children - it can be compared to the movie Lorenzo's Oil. With that said, Lauren was our life. She never walked or talked but she loved to swing, she played the keyboard with purpose and would laugh at a sneeze. We would make real fools of ourselves doing things to make her laugh. When Lauren laughed she lit up the room and made everyone laugh which in turn made her laugh more. She would often get the hiccups after a 'laughing party' making us laugh more and it would get going all over again.
When Lauren was 13½ she passed away. We had not given donation any thought before this but in that moment we chose to donate her organs and tissue. Besides her kidneys, Lauren donated her eyes and heart valves. We've heard from one of the heart valve recipient's mom. She wrote that her daughter at 11 months old received one of Lauren's heart valves and 6 months later she was a very active little girl. We have not met the family but we hope to one day.
We have a whole different view of donation now. I can't imagine the loss of a child without knowing that something good came of it, her donated organs/tissues. We now volunteer for our local OPO and Lauren's legacy lives on in the lives she saved and in our efforts to spread the word in hopes to get the public educated on donation and get them registered as organ/tissue donors.
At Lauren's graveside we had a butterfly release. That is representative of her life from earth into heaven. On earth she was trapped in a body that didn't work.Then upon death she gained life and became that beautiful butterfly free to fly. We miss her deeply but would not take that new life away from her.
Gary & Linda - Lauren's parents

Tanks and Replacement Coils
If you use a vape cigarette, there are two components that need to be purchased regularly, e-liquid and replacement coils. There's some confusion regarding when coils need to be changed, and that's because there are several factors at play that determine how long it will last and when it should be swapped out.
The replacement coil, also known as an atomizer coil, is the part of your e-cig that heats up the e-liquid and transforms it into vapor. There are two kinds of replacement coils: single coil and dual coil. While dual coils have two heating elements that vaporize liquid simultaneously, single coils just have one.
So what causes coils to burn out? A few things. First, the acidity of the e-juice plays a part. The higher the acidity, the faster the coil burns out. Certain flavors have higher levels of acidity, such as cinnamon. Also, liquids that are higher in vegetable glycerin, or VG, will use up the coil faster. Since the VG is much thicker in consistency than propylene glycol, the wicking element inside the coil will deteriorate faster. Also, the amount you vape naturally plays a part.
Now, let's take a moment and talk about tanks. Basically, it's the reservoir for your e-liquids. Tanks are usually larger than cartridges so that the vaper doesn't have to keep refilling e-liquid.
At Sin City Vapor, our online vape shop offers the best customer service, pricing, and selection for all of your vaping needs. By keeping up with the latest technology and providing outstanding service, our customers keep coming back.

FIKISHA [fih-kee-shuh]— v. (Swahili) to enable to reach; to deliver
FIKISHA is a family of loved individuals. We transform lives of outcast youth through friendship, mentoring and opportunities for education and reconciliation as we each walk our necessary steps toward change.
our [vision]
Transforming outcast youth into loved individuals
our [mission]
FIKISHA exists to inspire a cycle of love resulting in healthy communities. The FIKISHA staff and mentors walk alongside street youth befriending them and inviting them into the FIKISHA family.

FIKISHA recently merged with Boy With a Ball, another organization passionate about impacting youth through mentorship. We are an official Boy With a Ball Member Organization. You might be interested to read more about the impact here!
our [history]
In June of 2009, a traveling team of students from Concordia University Irvine unexpectedly encountered a ministry in the slum of Kawangware in Nairobi, Kenya. The ministry—run by a local church—offered street youth who were homeless, runaways or orphans a place of acceptance and community. Seeing the lack of basic needs, drug abuse, sexual assault and fights that were typical of this lifestyle, the team felt a need to respond. As a tangible solution for one little boy, Isaac, the team decided to sponsor him to attend a boarding school. This scholarship led to the desire to start an official nonprofit organization to provide next steps for individuals in similar situations. Group meetings consisting of encouragement, mentorship and feeding were established on the ground in Kenya. Meanwhile, the U.S. team began seeking sponsors for more children to return to school.
Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. Acts 3:6-8

Stem therapy is one part of the medical industry that scientists are working hard to crack, which includes regenerative medicine. According to Doctor Cameron, regenerative medicine takes utilized cells, bio-materials, and molecules to fix structures that due to injury do not function well while in the body. This is why most scientists are trying to crack this quest. It bears benefits like increasing life expectancy and improvement against health-related diseases.
As much as many scientists are working on this, they are using most of their resources to come up with it. In turn, it will reduce the number of diseases substantially. It has been hard over the years with less progress, but the emergence of chip technology has breached the gap. Its primary objective is to change one type of cell to another and heal organs entirely, which is useful.
The regenerative medicine is being produced in less amount because for it to be produced in plenty, it requires a lot of funds. Roughly in every country, it lacks enough resources to meet its production costs, and the experts needed to produce it are very few. This has decreased its chances of succeeding in the medical industry.
From the Lancet report, it stated some of the aftermaths of cell therapy which leads to experienced therapy, transient and limited efficacy. It is beneficial for most people. Doctor Cameron Clokie is working hand in hand with other scientists to reduce the costs of the regenerative medicine.
About Doctor Clokie

Sal Kimber is one of Australia's most exciting emerging singer-songwriters. Based in inner Melbourne, Kimber has been quietly stealing hearts on Australia's live music scene for the past seven years. But it was in 2008 that she really found her niche by forming alt-country band Sal Kimber & The Rollin' Wheel (with older sister Beth Kimber on keys and accordian, Cat Leahy on drums and Trent McKenzie on electric and double bass). With a familiar, warm and expressive voice – sometimes yearning, sometimes sensual, always believable, Sal Kimber and her band were named by Rolling Stone Magazine as 'Australiana alt-country at its finest'.
With consistent rural and national touring, Sal Kimber and the Rollin' Wheel released their highly anticipated self-titled album in 2011, to warm acclaim. Produced by award winning producer Shane Omara', the album has received national and international radio play, has featured on shows such as Packed to the Rafters, and amongst dongs received Rhythms Magazines 'Readers choice album of the year'. The 13-song collection showcases the band's diversity with 'Beat Gets Louder' leading the charge with its sexy jazz undertones followed by the pop-hook laced second single 'Do Right'. Sparse, quietly emotional ballads ('Your Town', 'Got You') sit perfectly alongside classic alt-country rock-outs ('Fast Train', 'Be Alright') as the Rollin' Wheel twists and turns but never strays off course – much like the rivers and roads Kimber often writes about.
Originally hailing from the mountain valleys of rural Victoria, Sal Kimber grew up in a musical family, and discovered her passion for songwriting at an early age. Her unique style has captured a strong following and garnered awards including the APRA Darebin Songwriting Award (2007) the Victorian Female Vocalist of the Year Award at the Victorian ∓ National Country Music Awards (2010) and the Apra Song of the Year at the Victoria ∓ National Country Music Awards (2012).
On banjo, guitars and vocals, Sal performs solo, duo, trio but most comfortably and most frequently with her talented band 'The Rollin Wheel'. Sal has been a guest on SBS TV show Rockwiz, has supported the likes of Kasey Chambers and Tim Rogers and amongst things is a Bush dance caller. With a charismatic and fun style of calling, Sal can be found teaching the heel and toe in halls all around remote and urban Australia.

100 Books #110 - Nicholas P. Money's TRIUMPH OF THE FUNGI: A ROTTEN HISTORY
When the author gets out of his own way and just lets us enjoy his material, Triumph of the Fungi: A Rotten History is as interesting and entertaining a book on the subject as one could wish. From Dutch Elm disease to the Potato Blight, Money surveys the history of fungal plant pathogens and their economic and aesthetic impact on the landscape in just the right amount of detail; one feels like a mycologist but isn't having to slog through a lot of soil chemistry data, which is enormously appealing to a lay reader like me.
What isn't appealing is a prevalence of what I can only describe as authorial snottiness; Money lets his personal opinion intrude on his storytelling just enough to be annoying, if not downright offensive: in his speculations about the origins of Dutch Elm disease, for instance, he tells us "I'm all in favor of blaming the Chinese, but in this instance they seem faultless"; pages later, describing the efforts of an early pioneer in research on a disease that all but wiped out coffee production on Ceylon/Sri Lanka, a pioneer who just happened also to be a reverend, he describes him as "a curate with presumable devotion to Christian superstitions" for really no reason at all other than to sound like a jerk, it feels like (to this reader, anyway).* Honestly, I can't believe an editor let stuff like this slide. Once I noticed this tendency, I couldn't stop seeing it, which often spoiled my enjoyment of a book for whom I am exactly the audience.
This is especially frustrating because the book is also full of fascinating bombshells of insight, as when Money points out how the results of a lot of early researchers in to Dutch Elm Disease had their results pretty much ignored because they were women, and a lot of dumb theories and ideas that came from men got credence, "frustrated progress in understanding the nature of the problem." Or when one Thomas Lipton -- yeah, that Thomas Lipton -- saw opportunity on Ceylon and started buying up rust-fungus-ruined coffee plantations to grow cheap tea on.* Or that "Plant pathologists can serve a [sic] excellent vectors of fungal disease." Or that the chromosomes packed into the zoospores of the potato blight fungus contain around 22,500 genes (for comparison, human chromosomes encode around 24,000).
See? Fascinating!
And we won't even talk about the chapter on chocolate. Oh my!** (Well, okay, maybe a little "...imagine massively swollen gentials in response to an infection of your pituitary gland and you'll grasp a human analogue of this plant disease.")
But then the obnoxiousness makes a return in a chapter about fungal pathogens on rubber trees, in which the author makes as many condom jokes as he possibly can and throws in one about an exporter waiting anxiously for a rubber stamp in a colonial office. Har.
Overall, though, this is a great read. I especially appreciate the criticisms of modern agriculture that are gently buried in this text: fungal disease epidemics only really happen in monocultures; the bigger the plantation**, the bigger the problem. And while Money (wonderful name for a writer about economic threats such as these, eh) never says it outright, really, the worst thing that ever happened to these plants we exploit isn't really the fungi; it's us. Or maybe we're the best thing. Maybe these plants, like some have said that maize/corn does, are actually exploiting us, giving us a little something useful in exchange for our efforts to spread them, keep them bug and disease free, and in general let them take over the earth at the expense of other plants not "smart" enough to provide something we find useful or tasty?
And then, maybe, aren't the fungi the really smart ones, since they've let us humans do all the work of setting them vast banquet tables for them to enjoy?
Lots to think about, when we think about fungi, no?
*Oddly, the victim of this barb, Rev. Miles Berkeley, gets spoken of in seriously glowing terms later in the book. So, you know, why even make a remark like that in the first place? Once I got to the chapter wherein Money describes Berkeley as a "great man" all I could think about was this stupid dis earlier in the book. ARGH.
**And this after Lipton got into the retail business after his family fled the potato famine in Ireland, so "it might be said that Lipton was an improbable beneficiary... of two of history's worst fungal epidemics."
***Theobroma cacao... food of the gods, threatened by, among other things, Witches' broom/escoba de bruja.
****Some nicely subtle digs at slavery there, too.

Hee hee. Yeah, that might be a bit nastier, but still kind of gruesomely fascinating. This guy has written a bunch of other books about fungi, so maybe that will happen!Delete

Bed and Breakfast Feedback is a GiftPosted by Darren Drevik on Jan 28, 2016 in Letters from Vermont | 0 comments
The late Stephen Covey, author of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," always stressed that feedback is a gift. He bemoaned that so many companies were defensive about any criticism they received. They took it personally, and shut down or tried to make excuses to mute or refute the criticism.
How many of us are like that?
At the Phineas Swann, our team constantly reminds itself that bed and breakfast feedback is a gift. We don't shower every morning in every room. We don't sample every bottle of wine (we'd be stumbling down the stairs if we did!) We rely on our guests to tell us three things:
- When their experience is insanely great, or
- When their experience doesn't meet up to their expectations, and
- When their experience is insanely great, but there's one thing that could make things every better.
We get mostly the first type of feedback. We love it. Who doesn't love compliments?
We sometimes get the second. Rest assured, we move quickly when a hot tub isn't getting hot enough, or a TV remote has turned the cable box kerflewie.
But it's the third type of feedback we crave. Because it gives us a chance to tweet the little things, and make more stays insanely great. What are some examples of this over the past three years?
"Thanks for all the coffee in the Fireplace Room. Do you have hot chocolate?" – Now we do.
"I know check-out is at 11 am? Is there a way to have late check-out?" We now offer a late check-out option for rooms for a $50 fee assuming the room isn't needed for the next day.
"My room was great, but it would be even better if the lamp was on the nightstand rather than across the room." Guess where the lamp is now.
Our favorite feedback tweet that most people would think is small and silly came from a guest about some of our antique posters. Past visitors know we have lots of antique magazine ads from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s framed around the inn. Most are ones that were in place when we bought the Phineas Swann, and we love them.
But one guest last year had a comment. "Why do you have tobacco ads — even old tobacco ads — in a room where children often sleep?"
The first instinct is to think this a trivial complaint. And it was presented in a matter-of-fact way, not in a tone that suggested criticism.
But it was a great piece of feedback. It's something we'd never considered. We'd dusted those framed ads hundreds of time and never considered that small children might be going to sleep with dreams of Lucky Strikes dancing in their heads.
So, needless to say, we replaced them and sold them to a picker who made a few bucks re-selling them at auction. But we're OK with that. Because by changing them out, we did that tiny incremental improvement that makes the next guest's stay a little better.

How would you reboot B5?
Just as a thought experiment, how would you reboot B5, if it were up to you? What would you keep from the original show? What would you jettison? What would you invent? How would you recast it? What format would it be in? Would it be a modern netflix heavy-arc like "House of Cards," or use the "Lostback" formula, or what?
Ideas can be as elaborate or as realistic as you like. I'm just interested in how you'd do it if you had the firm commitment from a studio who'd leave you to your own devices.
Re: How would you reboot B5?
I wouldn't. I'd reboot Crusade.
Re: How would you reboot B5?
It'd be primarily about 7 or 10 rangers, who'd get sent out in various combinations, based on their respective skills, and the only B5 cast who'd be a regular would be Delenn. We'd bump into the others, though.
It'd start off immediately after "Objects at Rest," with a season of planet-of-the-week adventures, the Rangers getting involved in creatign the peace and all. Then the Telepath Crisis would start, and take up most of the 2nd seson. (It started earlier than Lyta was expecting). I'd have the Drakh Plague/War start during the Telepath Crisis, and continue after the crisis is resolved, and we'd segue into whatever it was that JMS had planned as the main storyline of B5.
That's how I'd do it.
Re: How would you reboot B5?
I would love Joe to reboot B5 based on his original concept. (well i seem to remember sinclair was due to make it through the series and travel back in time to become valen, although i could be wrong). Make it as grim and as dark as hell. Set a more adult theme. Make the shadows and Vorlons really scary. Don't hold back. Show us the Icarus (or another different ship) arriving at z'ha'dum and what 'really' happened to the crew (as in the shadow within sort of thing). Show us what happens to those 'chosen' by the vorlons. Just expand on what we know. Tweak it a little storywise.
Re: How would you reboot B5?
I'd reboot Crusade using the existing Crusade scripts except War Zone, and as many of the original actors as possible. Matheson (DDK in H50V2) would have to be re-cast, and probably Gideon as well. I'd love to have Gary Cole back as Gideon. Peter Woodward as Galen and Carrie Dobro as Dureena and Tracy Scoggins as Lochley are must haves. Bester would unfortunately have to be re-cast (Maybe not? Hair dye and makeup?).. Brooks should be back as Eilerson. It wouldn't bother me if they re-cast Dr.Chambers.
I'd modify Appearance and Other Deceits to remove all trace of the uniform change. I'd pick one uniform Gray/Red or Black and stick with it.
Re: How would you reboot B5?
The "Dark" angle is interesting. I don't think it's the way I'd go, but it's got potential. I think that's the sort of thing that might be sort of "Naughty" for today's audience, though. If it had happened during the BSG/SGU era, that totally would have been a hit. Nowadays? People seem to like it sunny with occasional scattered clouds of "Oh my God!" (See: Doctor Who.)
Also - and this has nothing to do with you, and please don't think of this as a criticism in any way, 'cuz it's not intended as one - it's worth noting that we are in the middle of the longest stretch without a space-based TV show since the early 1980s. We've gone three years without one now.
Re: How would you reboot B5?
You could still use Bester with no problems. Walter is in good health (Better, he says, than when he did B5, as he's really taken pains to exercise and diet stuff following his heart attack), and remember: the character was always older than he appeared. (In the books, he's in his 70s). His present baldness could simply be part of his cover. He is on the lam, after all. Fugitives do tend to change their appearances.
Re: How would you reboot B5?
My preference is a solid, self-contained series as a reboot, of course, but I have occasionally entertained the notion of three overlapping full-length series. In my most fanwankerly of daydreams, I think I might like something like this:
* A Starship-based series.110 episodes, five seasons.
* Babylon 5, a space station-based series, 110 episodes, five seasons. This would start at the same time as the third season of our starship-based series, and run concurrently with it.
* A rangers-based show. 110 episodes, five seasons. This would start at the same time as the third season of Babylon 5 and the final season of the Starship-based show.
The individual series would take place in the same universe, would overlap somewhat in time, and have occasional crossovers, but they'd basically be independent standalone series. One could watch just B5 or just "Ranger" or just "Starship" and have a complete story without having to watch the other two shows to know what was going on.
So we're looking at 15 years/ 330 episodes of a franchise, but owing to the overlap, it'd all take place in 9 seasons. A hellish production schedule, I know, but TNG/DS9/Voy and SG1/SGA proved it's at least possible.
So why do it?
Well, firstly it'd be fun. You want to see more of the B5 universe, this could show it from several different perspectives, all of which could compliment each other.Case in point: the first two seasons of B5 are prettty slow, not because they're bad, but because it's a new universe and it takes forever to bring people up to speed. If we dumped those 'unusual alien encounter' episodes into "Starship," it frees up a lot of space for more interesting arc-based station eps.
The perspective stuff is the thing that most interests me, though. Imagine this:
"Starship" is our first show. We get planet-of-the-week stuff, but done modern non-cheezy style, unlke Trek. Just bringing a B5 sensibility to a simple trek-style venue would be a revolution.
So season 1, season 2, and then in season 3 B5 starts. Season 4 of Starship is season 2 of B5. Season 5 of Starship is season 3 of B5, which puts it in the middle of the earth civil war. Looking for a way to end your starship series? How about it's involved in the attack on B5 itself, and gets blown up? Some characters die, some are taken prisoner on the station, and then sent off to prison camps. THat's one HELL of a ballsy way to end a series. Added to which, we'd get to explore the EA civil war from BOTH SIDES simultaneously, which would be all kind of fun!
Season 5 of "Starship" would also be season 3 of B5, and season 1 of "Rangers," which would be a show about rangers. White stars, rangers running missions, fighting the shadows, recruiting new members. So for a year there, we've got the final season of "Starshiip," the middle year of B5, and the first year of "Rangers" all going at once. Again, this allows us to show different perspectives on the same conflict. The rangers can't understand why B5 is so distracted by the Civil War and not spending enough time on the Shadows, for instance, or a zillion other interesting things.
Babylon 5 would end at the end of its 5th season, 2 years after "Starship" ended, and 2 years before "Rangers" ends. This would allow us to see a kind of progression from a human-centric show to galactic civilization, and do cool stuff along the way.
It is completely unreasonable to assume anyone would pony up the dough, but as long as I'm daydreaming, this is my best-possible reboot situation. What do you think?
Re: How would you reboot B5?
NO to focusing on the Rangers (remember TLOTR?)
NO to retelling the same story (the beauty of B5 was not knowing what was coming)
NO to Technomages (not relevant enough)
NO to continuing Crusade (boring story which is why it failed)
NO to original actors playing different roles (It wouldn't be right!)
YES to ignoring the book continuity and telling the universe after the end of original B5
This means:
Casting of original actors wouldn't matter because the series would be set in the future and age is no issue
Tell the stories that weren't ended on screen:
1) Telepath War and future of Psi Corps/Lyta's resistance
2) Centauri Prime under the Drakh (WWE was a possible future as was Babylon Squared - see Coming Of Shadows (the telepath escort) and Point Of No Return (Lady Morella))
3) Earth/Mars post Clark
4) Rebuilding of Narn
5) Mimbar after civil war
At least I can then get over watching Sleeping In Light and thinking - 'But what about this?...What about that?
Re: How would you reboot B5?
1) Shortened seasons, the only filler episodes would be there to provide a break from the serious arcs, think the episode with the fly in Breaking Bad.
2) Writing team - JMS is great but he does have some shortcomings that trusted writers could help improve (humor and dialog). JMS has final say but even David Chase and Vince Gilligan recognized the value of a writing team.
3) Darker, more adult storytelling. Return to Sinclair as the center.
4) Solid production values with a real budget.
4) Unsure on composer. I loved Franke's score but I'm not sure his musical style holds up today. Bear McReary may be a better choice but he'd have to avoid sounding like BSG.

The Westerdam was docked near the intersection of Front Street and Mission Street, a short distance from the show, so we enjoyed the sunny morning as we walked a few blocks to the entrance.
After purchasing our ticket, we entered the venue that has been built to look like a logging camp.
As we entered we were greeted by two of the friendly cast of the show including the MC and one of the lumberjack competitors.
We found great seats near the center of the stage. Seating for the audience is heated and under a roof so even on a cold rainy day it would be comfortable and dry.
The show began with our MC, "Shortstack", introducing the teams and explaining the rules of the competition. Two rival logging camps, one from the US and the other from nearby Canada would be competing against each other in a variety of lumberjack skills. The audience was divided in half by seating area and each was assigned as the cheering section for one of the teams. Everyone was urged to be vocal in both supporting their team and jeering their opponent.
Members of the two teams hurled insults at each other while performing traditional logging skills with axes, saws and chainsaws as quickly as possible to win the event.
The athletes were also good actors as they occasionally dramatized their rivalry with fisticuffs to the amusement of the crowd.
The speed climb up the pole was one of the most impressive events. The log rolling was another favorite, with plenty of opportunity for pranks by both teams which caused roars of cheers, boos and laughter from the audience when one of the competitors fell into the water.
My still photos don't do the show justice, so I found this short video clip that gives a little better idea of what we experienced.
All too quickly the 6o minute show was over. In addition to being great kid-friendly entertainment, it turned out to be educational as well by illustrating the strength and skills that were required by lumberjacks. In my next entry, I'll be sharing more of our adventures in Ketchikan including famous Creek Street.

A Bengali has some off moments in between his Ilish and Kosha Mangsho days! Its usually the day after he has had a meal of daal, chorchori, bhaja, guli kebab, macher kalia, murgir jhol, followed by a big bowl of ras malai!
The next morning after a few green pearly pills of Pudin Hara and some nasty cho-n-aa dhekur, he is finally ready to give his stomach some rest.
Its then that our Bengali walks up to his doting Mother in his white Robin-liquid-blue-washed pyjamas and sando genji, continuously caressing his belly and says, aaj kichu khabo na. (Meaning I have gas, stomach ache and indigestion and I expect to be treated like a King!)
A whining son and a fretting Mother make instant connection in a Bengali home.
On cue, Mommy starts to fan him with her haath pakha, stroking his receding hairline, and complaining at the same time how he has lost weight. Overnight.
Her love overflows and she immediately orders all cooking at home to be stopped! Its a sort of an emergency declared. Her 40-year-old needs her immediate attention and also her slow-cooked phena bhaat with some alu sheddo, deem sheddo, daal sheddo, bhindi sheddo, and all things boiled and mashed! A baby food for a 40-year-old.
Pots of rice, potatoes, eggs, and Mushurir dal are fired up. The Mother stirs them to perfection – the right consistency is verrrrry important, she will nod to herself.
Pure gawa ghee is poured in a little bowl and melted. Ghani shorshe tel is brought out from the bhaandar. The servant is ordered to pluck fresh green chilies from the backyard.
Boiled potatoes and eggs are peeled and mashed with mustard oil, broken green chilies and salt.
The boiled Mushurir daal is zinged up with some more mustard oil and green chilies.
The rice, overcooked to perfection has to be served piping hot. Smoldering ghee takes overcooked rice to the next level.
The baby food is now ready for the Bengali.
This meal will now ready the Bengali for an evening snack of shingara-jilipi and a dinner of noodles and Chili Chicken, maybe some golden fried prawns too.

By: Emily (Church) Michelbrink
I won't pretend that at six months post-graduation from Whitworth I have my life together and that everything worked out exactly as I planned, because it didn't, but in accessing where I am now, I'm okay with that. I think that's something that needs to be said, even if Whitworth students (especially seniors) are reminded that it's a rough world out there and post-grad life won't be a walk in the park. While we're told this over and over, a small part of ourselves holds on to the idea that it won't be me. I'm freaking awesome, so of course I'm going to get into the grad school I want or get my dream job. Sorry to break it to you, but you aren't the only awesome human being that exists in this world. Quite a few other people want the same things that you do and may be feistier about getting those things. You might not get into that school and you might not get that job your interviewed for and really wanted, but there are still millions of opportunities out there.
After receiving my "diploma," shaking President Beck Taylor's hand, and walking off the stage, I spend the next four months searching for a job, and I must admit it wasn't the funniest thing I've ever done. I'm now at a job that I had never even considered. I graduated as a double major in English writing and Sociology. While at Whitworth, aside from my majors, I was also managing editor for this blog, got involved in Rock & Sling as a reader and non-fiction assistant editor, and was manager of the BELIEF program as part of the Dornsife Center for Community Engagement. I began my search out of college looking for positions that would allow me to work with non-profit programs or would put my writing and editing skills to use. So, where am I now? Microsoft.
I currently work in University Recruiting (UR) at Microsoft as a recruiting coordinator (RC). Basically, once Microsoft recruiters determine that a candidate is worthy of a first-round interview, I am responsible for making sure my candidates are able to sign up for an interview slot and that an interviewer (IVer) is available to conduct the interview whether they be one of our UR interviews or a volunteer from a specific Microsoft team, like X-box. We really like acronyms in UR, can't you tell? I serve as the middle-man between candidates and their interviewer. I am the one they contact when the have questions or need to reschedule. My position requires lots of written communications, data tracking, and problem solving, which are skills I'd like to say that I really honed in on through obtaining my English degree. While this may not be the most obvious job to come from an English degree, it's a good beginning and proves that English majors can make it in any field. I also know that this isn't my end all position, but it does serve as a good beginning for me.
I knew going in that this job wouldn't provide me with a way to practice the type of writing and editing that I really enjoy doing and aspire to do as a career, so what did I do? I sought out ways to explore my interests and build community with writers as kind of a "side gig." I joined Odyssey, an online publication community, as a content writer. It pushed me to meet deadlines and think of new content every week, and now I have recently been promoted to contributing editor for my community. Frankly, I'm enjoying the chance I have to develop professional skills and experience working for a large corporation like Microsoft while still ensuring that I do the thing that allows me to call myself a writer: write.
From this process of finding myself after undergrad, the advice that I can offer to current Whitworth students, and perhaps anyone else that finds it applicable is this: while it may feel like you're lost, you never know what opportunity is waiting just around the corner. I also can't stress the importance of building relationships with people in your desired field and of getting involved in activities and experiences that will build your skillset for your desired job or career.
Emily Michelbrink ('17) graduated with double major of English writing and Sociology, with a minor in Psychology. She currently works as a recruiting coordinator at Microsoft, is serving as a writer and contributing editor for Odyssey, and lives with her husband and one-eyed cat in the greater Seattle area. You can go read her Odyssey articles here.

The report shows that at the end of the financial year, the council had delivered services even though it has had to cut £38million from its budget for the year.
Mayor of Doncaster, Ros Jones, said: "We have been a dealt a savage blow by the central Government cuts and we have to save a further £70million over the next two years."
"I have a robust three year budget in place which this report shows we are going about this in the right way, balancing our books while continuing to deliver the best possible services for local residents and investing in our future.
"There are certain areas that are not good enough like education and over the next 12 months we are going to focus on making wholesale improvement and take action to turn this round.
"There are tougher times to come but as this report shows, I am continuing to deliver on my pledges to create jobs and growth, protect vital services and make Doncaster a better place to live, work, visit and invest in."
A further £70million of savings identified in the Mayor's budget will be delivered over the next two years.

Zinc Prices Hit Fresh 10-year High on Weaker US Dollar
Priscila Barrera - January 15th, 2018
Base metals rallied on Monday, with zinc prices climbing to a fresh decade high on the back of a weaker US dollar and lower inventories.
Zinc prices climbed to a fresh decade high on Monday (January 15), supported by a weaker US dollar and declining inventories.
LME zinc closed up 1.2 percent, at $3,423 a tonne, having touched a peak of $3,440 earlier in the day — its highest level since August 2007.
Overall it's been a strong start of the year for the base metal, with prices increasing 1.4 percent year-to-date and more than 20 percent year-on-year.
Some analysts believe zinc prices might jump even further in 2018, as solid Chinese data, a weaker dollar and falling inventories continue to lend support.
"The bullish view has become the consensus in the market, and it's very hard to see a deep correction in prices from here," Richard Fu, head of Asia Pacific sales at Amalgamated Metal Trading, told Bloomberg.
On Monday, a falling US dollar supported a surge in all base metals, as a softer greenback makes commodities priced in dollars cheaper for investors using other currencies.
"It is a dollar story … which is behind this move," said ING analyst Warren Patterson. "If you look at the speculative position in the metals, there is potential for further upside, if we continue to get positive economic data and strong manufacturing data."
For Patterson, the zinc market is going to be "fairly tight" at least for the first half of the year, as investor fears over shrinking supply and a lack of new mine production continue to increase.
Supply-side concerns have also been fuled by declining warehouse inventories. Last week, LME zinc stocks fell for a 13th week, reaching their lowest level since October 2008. On Monday, on-warrant zinc inventories fell by another 10,000 tonnes to reach 116,675 tonnes.
"Prices will stay elevated because we have a market deficit that requires inventory drawdown," Societe Generale (EPA:GLE) analyst Robin Bhar said last week.
Firms recently polled by FocusEconomics estimate that zinc prices will average $3,009 in 2018. The most bullish forecast for the year comes from TD Economics, which is calling for a price of $3,362; Danske Bank (CPH:DANSKE) is the most bearish with a forecast of $2,650.

WESTBURY, NY (PRWEB) December 15, 2016
ACRES Capital, LLC ("ACRES") announces the funding of a first mortgage loan to finance the conversion of an existing multifamily property to a student housing complex in Iowa City, IA.
The loan proceeds will be used to fund the renovation of existing structures and develop a student housing project consisting of 336 suite-style apartment units with a total of 876 beds.
Development of the project is underway and is expected to be completed for the 2017 Fall Semester. The project will consist of 22 residential buildings, including eight newly constructed buildings with 176 suite- style apartments broken down into a range of two to three bedroom units (with one to four baths), both single story, and two-story townhome units, and a clubhouse. The new clubhouse will offer a variety of amenities such as an arcade, golf simulator, fitness center, café and basketball / volleyball court, community study rooms, and resort style pool area. The property will cater to the University of Iowa (UI) student body with over 32,000 students and secondarily to nearby Kirkland Community College, which has become a feeder school for UI with over 20,000 students. Currently, UI's on-campus housing has limited accommodations, allowing the Property to capitalize on the lack of competitive private student housing facilities of this caliber with these amenities in this market. The project is located a short 3.5 miles away from campus.
ACRES Capital is a direct lender operating on a nationwide platform. The company seeks opportunities in the $3 million to $50 million range on stabilized to distressed properties including office, retail, hotel, condo, multifamily, senior housing, student housing, industrial, construction, adaptive reuse and predevelopment.

Legal Aid practice isn't for the faint hearted because you are facing the kind of problems that don't beset any other type of business. Everything you do is political and subject to half-baked schemes that turn into expensive fiascos, making long term business planning very difficult.
It takes a certain kind of determination and belief in the importance of legal aid to survive in this situation. It also takes some hard-headed business approaches to help reduce the catastrophic risks the MOJ can have on your business. Here are four of the most important.
Strategy 1: Costs
This is a really big one for Legal Aid firms: know all the rules and bill properly within them. Many practitioners and their staff don't know how to do this and they miss out on stuff they can be legitimately claiming for. For example, do your staff know how many police station fees are payable per investigation? Or which work remains in scope for legal aid? We regularly speak to billing staff who don't know how to maximise the fees that are claimable for legal aid and that means you are watching money walk out the door
If you make this a training priority across the firm and ally it with a well-informed case management system that knows about all the legal aid fees and rates options, you will make more money from the same work.
Strategy 2: Bill more efficiently
These are the things that no legal aid firm should be saying in 2016:
"We use the costs draftsmen on most of our bills"
"We log onto LAA Online and enter our monthly submissions manually, line by line"
"We have to do bills manually because the fee earners aren't very good at time recording so we have to re-check all their work"
"We use paper timesheets and the secretaries input the time"
All of these behaviours are totally avoidable and wreck fragile profit margins. This is what legal aid firms can and do say instead:
"We don't need cost draftsmen because our legal aid billing software produces the bill so we keep the percentage cost and that adds up significantly"
"We log onto LAA Online and to a bulk upload from our legal aid billing system. It saves us a couple of days work a month"
"We have trained our fee earners to time record properly straight into the system, it is a performance issue for all of them"
"Secretaries don't waste time duplicating work that fee earners should be doing, leaves them free to do some fee earning work of their own or cope with more complex issues"
Strategy 3: Get more clients by starting with the client
It's very common to think that legal aid clients don't shop around as much as private clients do and research into buyer behaviours generally recently released by the Law Society doesn't support this. It means that law firms pay little or no attention to their website and other marketing materials and make an assumption that any approach should major on their areas of expertise rather than what the client actually wants (which might be expertise if only the things lawyers said about it made any real sense to potential clients). Remember, you are competing for attention and relevance and how a client pays or is paid for doesn't change that. If you really make an effort to get the right message out, the chances are good that you do two, resilience building things: get more clients in your core area of work and attract clients who will enable you to consider the next strategy….
Strategy 4: Diversify your Work Base
The thing about looking at what a client wants instead of talking about your expertise is that you will inevitably end up diversifying the work you offer. We have all acted for the client who initially presented with one matter and subsequently needed other services and it isn't unusual to send them elsewhere for these. Legal Aid lawyers tend to fight shy of doing related work, preferring to stick to their core area of expertise because of what they perceive to be a lack of resource or knowledge. However the advent of great software, checklists, workflows and automated precedents means your firm can seriously consider picking up the options for diversified work, often at private rates, which then help broaden your billing base.
A final word on profit. It is essential that you make a profit and that all your staff from the bottom up understand that that is the objective. It is far too stressful running low profit or periodically loss making businesses. It leads to bad practices, lost practising certificates, insurance claims and despair. By organising your small law firm to make a profit on legal aid and private work, you can eliminate those risks.

She is the founder of ILAW legal aid software and is now the Director of Legal Aid Systems at LEAP Legal Software, the largest independent provider of software to law firms in the world.

Ironman 70.3 Panama will take place on 12 February 2012, on the beautiful Isthmus of Panama (the narrow strip of land that lies between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific).
Ironman 70.3 Panama 2012 will also serve as the Ironman 70.3 Latin American Pro Championship, as well as a qualifier for the 2012 Ironman World Championship 70.3 at Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nevada.

Participants will then bike 56 miles (90K), first crossing the Bridge of the Americas, connecting Central and South America, en route to the Pan-American Highway.
The 13.1 mile (21K), two-loop, run course will take athletes through the Amador Causeway, a major tourism area surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, where they can watch ships transit in and out of the Panama Canal while enjoying the beautiful view of the city.
"We are excited about the opportunity to host a world-class event of this magnitude in Panama and proud that Ironman felt our country was the perfect fit to host the Ironman 70.3 Latin American Pro Championship for the next three years," said Jimmy Papadimitriu, Panama's Minister of the Presidency.
"We have a solid modern infrastructure and hotel capacity, and our geographic location serves as the perfect hub for the Americas to hold an event of this magnitude."

"To conclude, I do not think that the Mint developers deliver professional work"
Sebuah artikel menarik dari LWN.net terkait kasus peretasan yang menimpa Linux Mint (situs dan file ISO)…
Well, Linux Mint is generally very bad when it comes to security and quality.
First of all, they don't issue any Security Advisories, so their users cannot – unlike users of most other mainstream distributions – quickly lookup whether they are affected by a certain CVE.
Secondly, they are mixing their own binary packages with binary packages from Debian and Ubuntu without rebuilding the latter. This creates something that we in Debian call a "FrankenDebian" which results in system updates becoming unpredictable. With the result, that the Mint developers simply decided to blacklist certain packages from upgrades by default thus putting their users at risk because important security updates may not be installed.
Thirdly, while they import packages from Ubuntu or Debian, they hi-jack package and binary names by re-using existing names. For example, they called their fork of gdm2 "mdm" which supposedly means "Mint Display Manager". However, the problem is that there already is a package "mdm" in Debian which are "Utilities for single-host parallel shell scripting". Thus, on Mint, the original "mdm" package cannot be installed..
Wow… saya baru tahu kalau Linux Mint ternyata seperti ini sistemnya (belum pernah pakai lama).
Yang pertama mungkin hanya berpengaruh ke sebagian orang saja yang peduli dengan keamanan, tapi untuk yang kedua dan ketiga… Yang ketiga ini cukup parah, benar-benar bisa ngefek bahkan ke pengguna pemula (sasaran utama Linux Mint).
