From Transitions Through Motion in Hatfield -- Leora Barry, Ex Dir, and Theresa Fischer: horses helping people. Kate Buckman, Aquatic Ecologist with the Greenfield-based Connecticut River Conservancy: happening here – fish on elevators, the great migration, nest building male fish, shad's return from their world tour, local sea lampreys – don't call them eels or snakes.

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | This Sunday we're in Mark 3, and the tension around Jesus is really starting to build. Religious leaders who know He can heal are watching to see if He'll do it on the wrong day. But right in the middle of all that noise, Jesus notices one man standing in the crowd with a withered hand and that changes everything.

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | This Sunday we're kicking off a journey through the book of Mark one chapter takeaway at a time.

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | Each person that Jesus used to build the kingdom of Heaven had their flaws. It wasn't through their efforts to be perfect that Jesus chose them, but through the freedom He offered when they released their burdens to Him.

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | This Sunday we're looking at the road Jesus walked to the cross, and there's so much happening along the way that we don't want you to miss.

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | In the "Perhaps God" moments of our lives, God invites us to place all our faith in the promises He has for us.

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | Miracle after miracle, God showed the Israelites that He was their ultimate provider in the wilderness. Yet they continued to doubt if they would make it to the land that He promised them. We know God is good, but how do we keep that faith?

An unassuming house in Southeast Portland’s Buckman neighborhood was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places. Once known as “Juniper House,” the building served as one of the first end-of-life care homes for AIDS patients in the Pacific Northwest in the late 1980s. An OPB documentary at the time explored the lives of some of the patients in Juniper House and the neighboring Assisi House, which provided a range of care for patients with HIV/AIDS. Jan Weyeneth is one of the co-founders of Juniper House. Cayla McGrail is a former associate project manager for Portland’s LGBTQ+ Historic Sites Project, which sponsored the house’s listing. We first spoke with Weyeneth and McGrail in April 2025 about Juniper House and the importance of documenting queer history in Portland.

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | Finding security in God is a great step forward in our walk with Him. But what does He call us to do next? In the book of Joshua, Joshua sends two spies back to the land of Canaan even though it went badly the first time. While their reasoning for this is unknown, God was executing a rescue plan for Rahab. When we are uncertain about our next steps in obedience to God, we can be sure that He will always call us to reach people so they may be a part of His kingdom.

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | Though the world may influence us to see through a black and white lens, God calls us to bring "Shalom" to all situations we may be facing. Where there is fear, we carry God's peace. Where there is hate, we demonstrate God's love. When the world is struck with confusion, we are able to lean on God for the hope he provides.

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | When placed in a position of leadership as a Christian, we need to lead in the gifts that God equips us with rather than rely on our strength and knowledge.

In this episode, Anna and Derek chat about the pros of fewer Buckman kids, if riding the rollercoaster is really all it's cracked up to be, and much more during their discussion of Ron Howard's Parenthood (1989).Connect with '80s Movie Montage on Facebook, Bluesky or Instagram! It's the same handle for all three... @80smontagepod.Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage. The idea for the podcast came when they realized just how much they talk – a lot – when watching films from their favorite cinematic era. Their wedding theme was “a light nod to the ‘80s,” so there's that, too. Both hail from the Midwest but have called Los Angeles home for several years now. Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies.

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | After years of King Saul ruling with selfish ambition and disobedience to God, David was appointed to the throne, which would later bring restoration to Israel. Despite his great sins against God, King David humbled himself and consistently turned back to Him in repentance. In our walk with God, we may be led astray, but walking in repentance allows us to run back and follow through in obedience to His will.  Check Out Our Website https://htcfamily.org/ Building Lives For Life Change.

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | Some of us may want God's will in our lives, assuming that it will line up with what we want for ourselves. But what if God's will for us is different than what we expect? In today's sermon we read about Saul's struggle to walk in obedience to God because he was blinded by his own desires. As we put our new yearly theme into practice, let's prepare ourselves to trust in God's purpose and walk obediently into what that may look like.

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | How often are we believing that there are areas of our life where we don't need God?

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | Our yearly theme conveys a message about steering away from our own earthly decisions and trusting in what we know is good and in line with God no matter what the outcome may be. This latin phrase "Coram Deo" which means, "before the face of God" or "in the presence of God" tells us an important message; In everything we do, we can do it knowing that God's presence is always available and guiding us.

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | In the same way Israel felt God had abandoned them, we may also feel overwhelmed by this thought in our present lives. Instead of allowing the things of our past to consume our thoughts, God has called us to look forward and believe in His promises to us and how we can continue to be shaped through His mercy to us.

| Sermon by Pastor Kim Buckman | Even when Mary and Sarah were unsure about the promises God had made to them, they were assured that He would follow through.

We look at why transformers struggle with long inputs, how state space and retention models keep context at linear cost, and how scaling state size unlocks reliable recall across lengthy conversations, code, and documents. We also cover practical paths to retrofit existing transformer models, how in context learning can replace frequent fine tuning, and what this means for teams building agents and RAG systems.   Learn how product leaders and researchers measure true long context quality, which pitfalls to avoid when extending context windows, and which metrics matter most for success, including recall consistency, answer fidelity, task completion, CSAT, and cost per resolution. You will also hear how to design per user memory, set governance that prevents regressions, evaluate LLM as judge with human review, and plan a secure rollout that improves retrieval, multi step workflows, and agent reliability across chat, email, and voice.

Today, we're joined by Jacob Buckman, co-founder and CEO of Manifest AI to discuss achieving long context in transformers. We discuss the bottlenecks of scaling context length and recent techniques to overcome them, including windowed attention, grouped query attention, and latent space attention. We explore the idea of weight-state balance and the weight-state FLOP ratio as a way of reasoning about the optimality of compute architectures, and we dig into the Power Retention architecture, which blends the parallelization of attention with the linear scaling of recurrence and promises speedups of >10x during training and >100x during inference. We review Manifest AI's recent open source projects as well: Vidrial—a custom CUDA framework for building highly optimized GPU kernels in Python, and PowerCoder—a 3B-parameter coding model fine-tuned from StarCoder to use power retention. Our chat also covers the use of metrics like in-context learning curves and negative log likelihood to measure context utility, the implications of scaling laws, and the future of long context lengths in AI applications.
