The first thing you should know about Marmosets is these tiny Monkeys LOVE marshmallows! It’s not their everyday food but marshmallows are used as special treat to reward good behavior and allow handlers to work these small monkeys more easily. In todays case they will be used to help Coyote makes friends with them so the crew can get up close with the cameras.

Big thanks to everyone at Kids Saving the Rainforest for hosting the crew at this location. To find out more about their organization please visit their website – http://bit.ly/savingtherainforest

*Kids Saving the Rainforest never lets the public touch or see the baby wildlife. We only do so when the filming is to educate, which is our mission. All wildlife caretakers were present during filming to guarantee the animal’s well-being and assure to that they weren’t under stress. Remember,  it is never acceptable to have a wild animal as a pet.

Thank you for joining us On Location! In these segments you will get a behind the scenes look at all of the fun and exciting things Coyote and team experience on their adventures when they’re NOT encountering wildlife…or at least not by choice!

The Brave Wilderness Channel is your one stop connection to a wild world of adventure and amazing up close animal encounters!

Facebook to develop app for television set-top boxes, including Apple TV: Report

Facebook Inc is creating an app for television set-top boxes, including Apple Inc’s Apple TV, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The world’s biggest online social network is also in discussions with media companies to license long-form, TV-quality programming, the Journal reported on Tuesday.  Facebook declined to comment.

An app for set-top boxes would bring Facebook closer to live video and video advertisements. Getting advertisers to buy more video ads is key to Facebook’s continued revenue growth as such ads fetch higher rates from advertisers than text or photo-based ads.

Live video is also becoming a highly competitive feature on social platforms, with companies competing to stream major sports events and exclusive video components from high-profile events such as the Oscar and Grammy awards shows.

In April, Facebook expanded its live video product, Facebook Live -a potential threat to broadcast television, giving it prominent placement on its app and rolling out features to make it easier for users to search and comment in real time.

Facebook has been pushing videos aggressively on the platform, and is also exploring the idea of original content. In December, Mashable and Re-code reported the social media giant is working on its own original content. The report on Mashable said the company has begun the talks with various “potential partners” and its efforts are in “early phases” of planning the video expansion.

Facebook’s head of global creative strategy Ricky Van Veen, who was the co-founder of CollegeHumour site, is overseeing the initiative. The new content, which hasn’t been finalised yet, would come under Facebook’s video tab, according to a statement from Ricky Van Veen.

His statement added, “Earlier this year, we started rolling out the Video tab, a dedicated place for video on Facebook. Our goal is to kickstart an ecosystem of partner content for the tab, so we’re exploring funding some seed video content, including original and licensed scripted, unscripted, and sports content, that takes advantage of mobile and the social interaction unique to Facebook. Our goal is to show people what is possible on the platform and learn as we continue to work with video partners around the world.”

Lego is starting a “safe” social network for children

BRICKING NEWS Lego is starting a “safe” social network for children

Parents hoping for something safer than Instagram, take solace: Lego has introduced a social network for under 13s which does not allow kids to upload human photos or write snarky and/or inappropriate comments.

LegoLife, as the network is called, has some Instagram-like features, including a newsfeed, profiles and the ability for kids to share pictures of their own Lego creations. But there are ample restrictions, including a ban on real-life photos and free-form commenting. Parents have to approve the sign up, which requires an email verification. User names are generated for kids, with silly three-word mixes, like “ElderPowerfulBelt” or “ChairmanWilyDolphin” churned out. Text is limited to prewritten responses of custom Lego emojis and stickers. And every image is vetted by Lego before it goes up to make sure it is Lego-related and not creepy-human related.

So what can kids do? They can follow their favorite topics and groups—including those dedicated to superheroes—related to their favorite Lego characters. There are challenges and “recommended builds.” There are no in-app purchases, but Lego-related ads abound. And they can create their own mini Lego avatars—which move as you design them —replete with plenty of accessories.

Wired thinks the whole thing successfully ferrets out the grosser elements of the internet:

What’s most interesting about Lego Life, though, isn’t that it exists. It’s how Lego worked to create a pastoral place on the internet, one where the exchange of ideas and inventions remains unsullied by, well, the usual.

It’s not clear whether one long, rolling product-placement will repel or appeal to kids, even if they love Legos. Some parents were dubious: “It’s training them to be consumers to be addicted to online pseudo-relationships instead of real friends. Let them get dirty in the park. Let them go out and DO stuff,” said one London-based mother of three.

And the arrival of LegoLife happens to coincide with the news that Club Penguin, a social network for kids launched in 2005, is shutting down. The abundant competition for young kids’ attention—from YouTube to cable TV and mobile apps—is among the factors behind the Disney-owned social network’s struggle. (A new mobile social network, Club Penguin Island, is coming in March.)

According to the BBC, the site does not collect any personal information and tracking is not enabled. Calls to Lego media representatives were not returned.

In Britain, more than half of 12- to 15-year-olds and 43% of of eight- to 11-year-olds are on Instagram, according to OfCom (pdf), the country’s communications regulator. It’s unlikely that any who have joined Instagram will gravitate to something significantly less personal and customizable, but it may offer the perfect practice ground for younger kids eager to test social-media waters.

Never include these résumé-killers on any job application

On average, hiring managers get 75 résumés per position they post, according to a study from CareerBuilder.com — so they don’t have the time or resources to look at each one closely, and they typically spend about six seconds on their initial “fit/no fit” decision, according to career networking site TheLadders.

If you want to pass that test, you need to have some solid qualifications — and the perfect résumé to highlight them.

Here are nine things you should never include on your résumé.

Chip bag can sense if you’ve been drinking and order an Uber

Shelly Palmer talks about Tostitos alcohol-sensing bag and its embedded near-field communications (NFC) chip that you can tap with your phone to call and Uber (if you’re too drunk to drive) on Fox 5 with Teresa Priolo and Antwan Lewis. Original Airdate: January 31, 2017

Amazon will add 2,700 jobs at new $1.5B Kentucky hub

Online retail giant Amazon has kicked off plans for a worldwide cargo hub at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, the largest investment ever there.

Seattle-based Amazon has committed to invest $1.49 billion and bring 2,700 new jobs. The deal would top Delta Air Lines’ 1993 million hub expansion at the airport if Amazon follows through on its commitment.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime deal,” airport CEO Candace McGraw said. “It’s truly transformational.”

Cincinnati/North Kentucky, which is situated over the Ohio state line in Hebron, Ky., beat out the Wilmington Air Park in central Ohio. The airport, also known by its three-letter designator CVG, also topped Wilmington for international shipping giant DHL’s North American hub several years ago.

Amazon raised hopes in Wilmington in 2015 when the online retailer started a pilot program to test whether that would make a good location for a hub.

“Obviously this is disappointing and we will be working with local officials to help respond to any workers who may be impacted,” said Emmalee Kalmbach, a spokeswoman for Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Amazon has not yet set a date for the groundbreaking, nor has the company set a timetable for adding the jobs. Amazon’s air cargo carrier, Amazon Prime Air, plans to start operating some flights in April.

Amazon began inquiring about two months ago, local officials said, and Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin played a key role in the deal by sitting in meetings with Amazon officials to craft a state incentive package.

In the end, the state, Boone County and the airport moved quickly to lock in Amazon, which will receive a $40 million state and local tax incentive and another $5 million from the airport. For its part, Amazon has promised 2,700 new jobs, 600 of which will be full-time. It has entered a lease of at least 50 years with CVG, where Amazon plans to build a hub every bit as impressive as DHL’s massive North American hub here.

The jobs will pay an average hourly wage of $26 with benefits, state officials said.

Amazon will build several facilities on nearly 920 acres of land, including a 3 million-square-foot sorting facility and a 350,000 square-foot loading dock. It also plans to build enough ramp space to house 100 cargo jets, more than what DHL has. Amazon already has a sorting facility near the airport, but officials weren’t certain whether work there will complement efforts on the airport grounds.

The deal further establishes the aiport as a major air cargo hub. DHL’s growth has established it as the eighth-largest air cargo hub for volume in North America.
