A recap of Wednesday night's open of AFI Docs with Alex Gibney's "Zero Days" and highlights of what's to come.
Named after the David Cronenberg film, this is the blog of former RogerEbert.com editor Jim Emerson, where he has chronicled his enthusiasms and indulged his whims since 2005. Favorite subjects include evidence-based movie criticism, cinematic form and style, comedy, logical reasoning, language, journalism, technology, epistemology and fun. No topic is off-limits, but critical thinking is required.
EXCERPT FROM INTRO: This isn't like Roger Ebert's "Great Movies" series. It's not my idea of The Best Movies Ever Made (that would be a different list, though there's some overlap here), or limited to my personal favorites or my estimation of the most important or influential films. These are the movies I just kind of figure everybody ought to have seen in order to have any sort of informed discussion about movies. They're the common cultural currency of our time, the basic cinematic texts that everyone should know, at minimum, to be somewhat "movie-literate." I hope these movies are experiences we can all assume we share.
So, I looked up the list and here it is, with only a couple changes. (I added "Fight Club" because it's essential and it hadn't been released at the time I made the list.) I remember I tried to represent key examples of all important genres, movie stars, directors, historical movements, and so on -- like an overview of the 20th century in 101 movies. Yes, there are many more I'd like to add, but remember, this is only a primer. How many have you seen? (Hot titles should link to Roger Ebert's reviews.)
Full meandering, long-winded, digression-filled, "will he ever get to the point?" intro here.

Since his conversion in 1975, Pastor Orman has been a strong personal soul-winner with a heart for missions. He has traveled to Mexico, Guatemala, Haiti, Canada, Brazil, Montana, India, and the Bahamas on various mission trips. His desire for First Baptist is to reach the Treasure Coast and beyond with the glorious gospel of Christ.
He is married to Kim and they have 2 children.
Minister to Senior Adults
From my childhood days I had two goals—to sing and to travel. But my heart's passion was to serve God.Through some 40 years of ministry, I have had these dreams fulfilled.
Graduating with my Bachelor of Music degree the Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati, Ohio and after marriage to my college sweetheart Nancy, I began my professional career in Music.
The turning point came in my life when I discovered my heart's passion was serving God. After serving several churches, and studies through New Orleans Baptist Seminary, I began my ministry at First Baptist Church of Stuart, in 1988.
Our ministry involves mission trips, Senior Luncheons, ongoing ministry to nursing homes with our "Good News Singers" and trips to Senior Conferences.In my leisure time I enjoy time with my wife Nancy, traveling or hanging out with our 3 children and 7 grandchildren. Enjoying God's blessings day by day.
Children's Ministry Director
Minister to Youth
Josh Gardner is the New Jersey native that was blessed to marry his best friend, Florida native Che' Orman, on November 5, 2011
Both are alumni of Liberty University, newlyweds, and expecting their first child this November!
God has called them together to a ministry of prayer, and to making disciples now.
Josh and Che' firmly believe God has equipped the church to reach the nations. Josh came to us having over twelve years of ministry experience working with youth. He served as a missionary for an entire summer in Camden, N.J. when he was 16 years old. Since that time God has taken him to Mexico, Nicaragua, India, England, and the Middle East. It was in these formative years of leading teams that Jesus revealed a desire for making disciples, and fanned into flame the desire to be in full-time ministry.
Nothing excites this couple more than deep intimacy with Jesus, the Great Commandment, and The Great Commission.
When asked, "What is your goal for the youth in the years ahead?"
Josh replied, "That every student would be true to Christ, be kind to everyone, and go to the lost world with the gospel of Jesus."
Minister of Music

Financial Administrator
I began my professional career in the banking industry where I held positions in marketing and lending. I left banking and started a business providing accounting services in 1991, which I continued for nearly twenty years before joining the First Baptist staff.
I was raised in Cocoa, Florida, in a Christian home and drawn to God at a very young age. I accepted Christ as my savior at the age of 8, but became aware of my need to make him Lord of my life in my early teens. I have been a follower of Christ my entire life, but have seen my greatest spiritual growth after a family crisis several years ago. I pray that my testimony will always point others to Christ.
What a mighty God we serve! Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer. Romans 12:12
Church Secretary
Ephesians 2:8

I served as a Awana Cubbie director, also a Sunday School teacher. I have been working in the church office part time since summer of 08 currently I have joined the staff full time.
I believe with each experience it has brought me a closer relationship with Jesus, and pray for others to accept God's gift .
During my free time, I enjoy digital scrapbooking and spending time with all my family.
Greater is he that is in me, than He that is in the world. 1 John 4:4

*not* NCTMB, and never will be if I can help it.
Wanted to help people The reasons I chose massage therapy were actualy
twofold, and I would hazard to guess that many other
therapists might have similar reasons. First is the
inate skill to be found within my hands and often
experienced and commented upon by family and friends.
Second, and I think more important, is an inherent
need to help others, knowing that first I needed to
help myself. I really believe that many massage
therapists come from a "place" that needs healing, be
it physical, spiritual, or emotional. Whether we are
consciously aware of this need or not, there is a
sense that others also have a need to move forward
with their own healing process, and this is where we
can help as massage therapists.
As the co-moderator of the Body_Work list group, I
have come into contact with many other MT's who shared
this same sense of who we are. Sometimes these feelings
are stated on the list, but more often they are shared
in the personal meetings Caro (list owner)and I have
been fortunate enough to experience as a result of our
list association.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that becoming a
massage therapist isn't simply a matter of a, b, c,
or d. It is an opportunity for healing and growth, for
myself and those with whom I have contact.
Mani Abreu
Wanted to help people After burning out in my corporate communications job I was looking for a career that would feel more meaningful to me. After rejecting chiropractics because I didn't want to have to go back to school for so many years, I fell upon massage therapy as an option. At first I studied it because the very excellent two year program in which I took part would offer me a quicker way into the world of health and wellness without having to commit myself to many years of education (for medicine, chiropractics or naturopathy). In other words, I saw it as a quicker means to an education in the medical field. I figured that after I graduated, I could easily expand on my medical knowledge because of the good foundation created through my massage studies. However, as I began to study and then enter the profession I quickly discovered how well suited we were for each other. I love my work and I love what I am able to do for others with my hands! I also love the education that gave me such a wonderful comprehension of the body and how it works.
Wanted to help people About 7 years ago Was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia
and chronic fatigue set off by a major back injury.
I searched everywhere to find someone to help me out
of pain. pretty much heard disability and you will
never work again.. My life is now devoted to finding
therapies that work and appling them to my workto make
people feel and get better. that makes me feel better.
But first of all I keep GOD 1st and #1 in my life and my work.. Thats why I do what I do..Thank you
Steve Davis
The chiropractor I worked for MADE me go to massage therapy school. Just one more order I had to follow. It was the very best thing that ever happened to me in my entire life. Becoming a massage therapist has fulfilled all of my lifes dreams in just 16 short years. Sometimes being told what to is not so bad after all.

Mercedes Satisfied after first FRIC-less day at Hockenheim
Despite the banning of the FRIC Suspension (Front-and-Rear Interconnected Suspension), the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS team once again saw their two drivers finish first and second in both practice sessions at Hockenheim on Friday. Nico Rosberg topped the opening session from Lewis Hamilton, with the two swapping places for session two. Hamilton had to play second fiddle to Rosberg in the first practice session but took the fastest time of the session and day in the afternoon. The Briton admitted it was a tricky day for him, as he made a few mistakes while getting used to the updated car following the removal of their FRIC suspension.

Shelter manager rescues men from fire
Relevant offers
A Wellington night shelter manager has been praised for pushing through thick smoke to rescue two residents.
One room was damaged and two people treated for smoke inhalation after a room caught fire at the shelter on Taranaki Street shortly before 10pm this evening.
Night shelter shift supervisor Vincent Hartley said the lights were already out for the downstairs clients' curfew when the alarm sounded.
A crowd of shelter occupants waited outside as five fire engines, an ambulance and police cars blocked the street as they dealt with the fire in an empty room on the upper storey, which houses the shelter's permanent residents.
Shelter Duty Manager Peter Burke earned firefighters' praise after he rushed upstairs and evacuated two elderly residents to safety.
There he had found the hallway ''thick'' with billowing black smoke. Burke said he soon exhausted the fire extinguisher and helped two men, including one in his eighties, to safety.
''I was trying to put out the fire and help the fellas at the same time — it was pretty freaky,'' he said.
The pair suffered minor smoke inhalation and were treated by Wellington Free Ambulance paramedics. It was not yet known whether the fire was suspicious, Wellington fire station senior officer Paul Lyall said.

Nov. 10 will mark the end of an era in LaRue County.
Ruthie's Lincoln Freeze, home of the peanut butter milkshake, plate lunch special and Lincoln burger, is closing.
The building has stood at 700 S. Lincoln Blvd. in Hodgenville for 60 years.
According to courthouse records, Norma Hazle Davis (Scruggs) and Ben Davis were the first owners of the small three-room block building. Sometime in the early 1950s, they sold or rented the building to Logan and Blanche Duckworth.
The Duckworths started the business as the Lincoln Freeze. Mr. Duckworth added to the front and constructed a walk-up window. It had one booth inside.
Ruth and Elmer Chelf purchased it in the early 1960s. Their son, Ronnie Chelf and his wife Donna, bought it in 1984.
The name was changed to "Ruthie's Lincoln Freeze" in honor of Ronnie's mom.
When Ronnie's parents owned the restaurant, a milkshake cost 25 cents. Cones were a nickel.
"I remember raising the price (of milkshakes) to 50 cents," said Ronnie. "Now a milkshake is nearly $3 but the profit is the same."
Ronnie said selling the business is "one of the hardest decisions" he has made. It has been in his family for 52 years.
He and Donna have put a lot of work – and love – into the restaurant.
When they purchased the Lincoln Freeze, they renovated it, putting in new water and sewer lines, adding restrooms and adding a 56-person seating area.
For several years, they lived in a mobile home next door to the restaurant. In the early 1990s, they sold their home and built a miniature golf course behind Ruthie's. It was a good draw for families for several years. When it was dismantled, he stored the clubs and obstacles in his barn.
In 2001, they remodeled the restaurant, decorating the dining area with framed prints of Elvis, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. A drive-thru, snack bar and new menu items were added.
During that time, Ronnie and Donna stayed busy in the community, raising their three sons and working at their second business, Ronnie's Custom Cabinets.
Ronnie served on the school board and as a little league coach for several years. He helped organize the current soccer program.
They allowed customers to hold yard sales on the property and hosted numerous celebrations for little league teams.
They enjoyed the balance of work and fun.
"We always talked about living in the house next door and running (the restaurant) when we were old," he said.
Many things at Ruthie's have remained the same over the years. The hamburger and tenderloin "are still bought from Uncle Charlie's," the milkshakes are made with real fruit and local produce is used when available.
He used to purchase all his produce from Hazle's Farm Supply – which is also closing this month.
As many as 2,000 people have worked at Ruthie's since its' opening, Ronnie said. Many are family members, including Rosanna Williams, who has managed the restaurant since 2005 and worked there several years before that.
"Some stayed a couple of weeks, some years," said Ronnie. "Donna remembers every one of them."
It has been difficult to keep the restaurant afloat in recent years with increased regulations, health inspections and insurance premium increase. He has attempted to absorb the price increase of food – but it's difficult to keep the price down and maintain the quality.
Equipment replacement costs have skyrocketed.
"Now a triple-head milkshake machine costs $20,000," he said. "How many milkshakes do you have to sell to pay for that?"
Replacing a broken sign will cost $3,000; repairing the drive-thru, another $3,000.
The repercussions of Obamacare on a small business also is a factor, he said.
And Donna, who has been working at Ruthie's since a teenager, may be having knee replacement surgery in upcoming months.
All those factors are "making it hard (for his business)," said Ronnie. "I was going to try to tough it out until I was approached last April and asked about selling."
He was contacted by a developer for Dollar General Store. He plans to sell both the restaurant and a house and lot next door to it.
Ruthie's will be razed.
"They only want the land," he said. "They said they're going to put a Ruthie's memorial in the parking lot."
Ronnie has received numerous phone calls from past and present customers and wellwishers, asking him not to sell or offering to purchase memorabilia from the restaurant.
Some local young people have offered to raise money to "save Ruthie's."
He appreciates their concern but needs to do what is best for his family, he said.
"I grew up in it – I didn't want to let it go."
He isn't sure what the future holds. He and Donna will continue to work in the cabinet shop and he's considering another run at school board.
Ruthie's will hold a farewell event for customers on Nov. 9.

It's easy to assume that your app will run on a fast and reliable network. The reality for your app's users, though, is often a slow, unreliable network with spotty coverage.

What is 'Working Capital'
Working capital is a measure of both a company's efficiency and its short-term financial health. Working capital is calculated as:
Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
The working capital ratio (Current Assets/Current Liabilities) indicates whether a company has enough short term assets to cover its short term debt. Anything below 1 indicates negative W/C (working capital). While anything over 2 means that the company is not investing excess assets. Most believe that a ratio between 1.2 and 2.0 is sufficient. Also known as "net working capital".
BREAKING DOWN 'Working Capital'
If a company's current assets do not exceed its current liabilities, then it may run into trouble paying back creditors in the short term. The worst-case scenario is bankruptcy. A declining working capital ratio over a longer time period could also be a red flag that warrants further analysis. For example, it could be that the company's sales volumes are decreasing and, as a result, its accounts receivables number continues to get smaller and smaller.Working capital also gives investors an idea of the company's underlying operational efficiency. Money that is tied up in inventory or money that customers still owe to the company cannot be used to pay off any of the company's obligations. So, if a company is not operating in the most efficient manner (slow collection), it will show up as an increase in the working capital. This can be seen by comparing the working capital from one period to another; slow collection may signal an underlying problem in the company's operations.
Things to Remember
- If the ratio is less than one then they have negative working capital.
- A high working capital ratio isn't always a good thing, it could indicate that they have too much inventory or they are not investing their excess cash

This paper examines the issue of people transforming information and in turn information transforming people, starting from a human adaptation event occurring 35,000-50,000 years ago, called Enhanced Working Memory (EWM). This hypothesized adaptation separated human cognitive and social development from the Neanderthals' allowing humans to adapt and survive through drastically changing social and physical environments while the Neanderthals did not. EWM and the advantages to humans it provided are examined in terms of giving humans improved and more flexible decoding and encoding cognitive and social architectures. As a result of these architectures, what constitutes information for humans has also evolved. A Socio-cognitive Framework Model for Transformational Information Use illustrates how adaptive decoding and encoding structures work together to facilitate human adaptation to social and environmental changes.

Sorry, Nail Art! These Pinterest Boards Are The Next Big Thing
Pinterest serves as our go-to inspiration site for so many things — dreamy beauty looks and cool home decor are just two that come to mind. But for, er, hair down there? Nope. Though, that's not going to stop mega-brand Schick.
The company is releasing the new Schick Quattro for Women TrimStyle, just in time for bikini season, and has launched a Pinterest campaign called "Prune for June."
But don't worry, it's not what you think. Before everyone starts pinning pics of their pubes (because, you know, ew), Schick is actually inviting ladies to pin topiaries and other images, erm, inspired by their bushes for a chance to win a cool $2,500. A team of bloggers, who flaunt their own preferred pube styles on the contest page, have been given the hilarious job of picking the best pinner and five runners-up, who will each win $1,000 American Express gift card.
This will certainly be a surprise on our Pinterest feeds, but hey — sometimes, a girl's gotta trim. (The Cut)

In a recent article, CIO.com said that analytics and BI will be the top technology priorities for CIOs in 2012, based on a Gartner Inc. survey of IT executives. However, if you look back in time, reports show that BI was a top priority even then. Although we have fast-forwarded many years, the priorities haven't really changed. BI is still top of mind.
Granted, the amount of data that needs to be processed is growing by the day, and the need for businesses to have timely insight into things that matter is becoming more immediate. But wasn't this the case earlier as well? Businesses have always had this mindset - hence the reason for growth and continuous innovation.
What's new? Nothing, on the face of it. Except that with all things being equal, the fundamental problem, or shall I say problems, seem to have taken a backseat, yet again. We seem to keep talking about the symptoms instead of treating the issue at hand. In a recent report by Gleanster, LLC, the biggest challenges for enabling BI agility, are:
- Breaking down data / departmental silos
- Integrating with applications (e.g., CRM), operations and other platforms
- Achieving acceptable data quality
The report also points out that the most commonly used metrics by businesses are time-to-decision or time-to-response to information requests; information access (comprehensiveness, accuracy, and consistency); and volume and quality or actionable insights. These, in essence, are the fundamental requirements that need to be fulfilled to the hilt in order to enable BI agility.
For those in the know, this is not something BI tools can address on their own. A recent blog by Forrester Research, Inc., states that traditional BI approaches often fall short because BI hasn't fully empowered information workers, who still largely depend on IT, and because BI platforms, tools, and applications aren't agile enough. Now that we have this background in place, I can start my analysis.
Based on what we are seeing in some ongoing polls, without the underpinnings of a self-service driven agile data integration strategy in place, BI agility will continue to remain a pipedream. Yes, of late, data virtualization has emerged as an agile data integration approach that can enable BI agility. But as all solutions are not created equal, let's try to address the challenges we discussed with the proposed solution.
As I always say, the devil's in the details. Data virtualization built on data federation does one thing and only one thing very well - it accesses and merges data from several different data sources, in real-time, without physical data movement. It can turn many data silos into one and integrate with applications. But how about data quality? Is federated data truly ready for consumption? All I hear is silence.
A BI tool won't do anything to improve data quality as it simply assumes the availability of the most current and accurate data. What happens if there are inaccuracies and inconsistencies after federating data across various systems in real time? A more fundamental question - what if you cannot effectively analyze and profile the federated data in the first place? Well, you need further processing.
Did you read the fine print? I think it just said, deal with it. Or worse yet, I have also heard the excuse - BI tools do not expect consistent and accurate data. Very convenient wouldn't you say? Bottom line, you not only lose the time advantage that you gained in not moving the data physically, but you now have to deal with quality and consistency on a reactive basis. So much for an agile data integration approach.
We discussed quality and consistency. Now, how about the role of business users? Shouldn't the analyst define business entities, analyze and identify issues with the data, create rules to correct inaccuracies and inconsistencies, and then play a key part in making sure the federated data is as requested? Ask any BI professional, business users know the data the best. Data federation does little to get them involved.
Next, let's talk about the role of IT. Is it just about prioritizing a backlog of growing requests, building out the solution, testing and then deploying it? Shouldn't IT interact with the analyst instantly and throughout the process? This is critical to IT building exactly what the business wanted. Without self-service, agility can't be ensured. However, data federation has been typically a coding-heavy IT tool.
Although data federation has been around for a long time, it hasn't gone too far. Data virtualization built on data federation seems to be a case of doing the same thing again, and expecting a different answer. Federating data across many diverse data sources, in real time, without physical data movement, is what I call, par for the course. To enable BI agility, you need to go beyond looking under the hood.
Since data virtualization built on data federation cannot profile both data sources and logic, apply complex data quality rules and advanced data transformations on federated data as it is in flight, involve the business user early and often, and reuse the virtual views not just for BI tools, portals and composite applications, but also for batch - it looks like we have a choice to make?
The choices are - manual coding, further processing using other tools, and custom solutions. Really! Is this truly a choice you have the luxury or the extra budget to make? Are you going to sign-up for a solution that promises agility and then leaves a major portion of the task to you or to another tool? What's even more dangerous is that lack of critical functionality is simply passed off as good-to-have.
The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools, October 27, 2011, says it well - it's "the ability to switch seamlessly and transparently between delivery modes (bulk/batch vs. granular real-time vs. federation) with minimal rework." Data virtualization thus needs to be built-on data integration to truly enable BI agility. Having said that, I believe the days of a one-trick pony are numbered.

True Defiance: I Challenge You To Survive The Coming Collapse
Submitted by Bradley Keyes on Fri, 2013-07-05 00:00
This Fourth of July, I grow weary of the intellectual mind games and political postulations of ideological purists and sunshine patriots. It has never been enough to simply fantasize about reduced government, free markets, third-party candidates, protected civil liberties, etc. It has never been enough to simply back a Libertarian candidate, march around with signs and slogans, or even march around open carrying one's firearm. These are not solutions to the problem. They are not true acts of defiance, because they are all tactics that function only within the parameters of the game. To defy the game, one must stop playing the game.

Kirby Jenner Aims For Instagram Meme Status
Yes, Kirby Jenner is the newest member of the clan who's taking over Instagram with posts that show him hanging out with his much more well known fraternal twin at parties, GQ photo shoots, and on Calvin Klein billboards.
According to Hypebeast, Kirby Jenner is an "Amatuer [sic] Model / Lover of all things / Fraternal Twin of Kendall Jenner" who was created last summer by an unnamed mustachioed man who looks a bit like the model. The slight resemblance caused him to post what he calls the "uncropped photos," which feature him and his dad bod.
With each new shot, he gives us a glimpse into what his life with Kendall is really like, writing clever little captions that talk about their secret relationship.
"Our nanny used to always call us her princess and cabron," the first Insta post reads. "Miss ya Yulanda!"
So pumped to do this photo shoot because they shot it in black n white which is old-timey AF. Back to basics. #milelongstare #postnap #presnack #nightmaresoccasionally
A photo posted by Kirby Jenner (@kirbyjenner) on
Since then, Kirby's gotten really good at giving Jenner's Instagram posts a revamp by adding himself to some of her best photos.
Jenner's heart-hair pic that was the most liked image of 2015? Turns out Kirby was there, too, just a little over to the left. On her 17th birthday, Kirby was there looking on fleek as she blew out their candles.
All we can say is: Long live Kirby.
