Amos is a series of Israeli communications satellites. All Amos satellites are operated by Spacecom and are developed by its partner, Israel Aerospace Industries (except Amos 5 which was developed by JSC Reshetnev).
The six Amos satellites were launched using five different rockets, Soyuz, Zenit, Proton, Ariane and Falcon 9 from three different launch sites, Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Guiana Space Centre and Cape Canaveral in Florida.
- Amos-1 was the first Israeli communications satellite. Its development was based on experience from Ofeq reconnaissance satellites in association with DASA and Alcatel Alenia Space. It was launched on May 16, 1996 from European Space Centre in French Guiana. It was in use for home TV services (DTH/DBS by the Yes company in Israel and by HBO and others in Europe. Space Communications LTD quickly succeeded in filling all transmission capacity of Amos-1 and accumulated additional requests. Therefore, it decided to broaden its activity and initiated Amos-2 creation which is operational today (see below).
- Amos-2 was launched on December 28, 2003 from Baikonur, Kazakhstan and it serves clients in three service regions: Middle East (including Israel), Europe and the east coast of United States. Transmission and communication services provided by this satellite include: direct distribution of TV and radio translations; TV and radio translations to communication centers; distribution of internet services, data transmissions to communication networks. Amos-1 and Amos-2 were placed in proximity to create a common location, which enables satellite users to increase user abilities without additional antennas. After Amos-3 replaced Amos-1, Amos-2 and Amos-3 are placed in proximity.
- Amos-3 was launched on April 28, 2008.[1] It achieved the planned orbit successfully. The $170 million satellite is designed to offer increased capacity, expanded coverage and improved links between the Mideast and Europe and the eastern U.S. It is to remain in space 18 years. Amos 3 replaced the Amos 1 satellite. The satellite is located at 4°W on the equator, the same as Amos-2 satellite.
- Amos-4 is a larger platform (3.5 tons) than previous Amos generations and was successfully launched on August 31, 2013 from Baikonur, Kazakhstan.[2] It is currently on the way to be placed in geosynchronous orbit at 65° East longitude. It will offer coverage across Southeast Asia along with high power coverage beams offering communication links from East Asia to the Middle East.[citation needed]
- Amos-5 (he:עמוס 5) was launched at December 11, 2011[3] and provides coverage over the continent of Africa, as well as Europe and the Middle East. The satellite is located at 17°E longitude. Unlike the other AMOS satellites, it was developed by the Russian company Reshetnev rather than IAI. Contact with the satellite was lost on 21 November 2015.
- Amos-6 was expected to be launched by mid-2016 to replace Amos-2.[4] The 5.3 ton satellite was built by Israel Aerospace Industries. It was destroyed on the pad on September 1st, 2016 by an explosion at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Space Launch Complex 40.[5]

Wonderful chain
You won't be sorry with this chain. It is a great size (not too small or too large). I also love the lobster claw on a chain as they are much easier for me to fasten. Also, the color on this chain is great not too silvery but not the antiqued look either, which I don't particularly care fore. In summary, I liked this so much I ordered a second one.

Earth is fast becoming a planet where tropical glaciers will be myths. Here are a couple of recently released satellite images from 1988 and 2010 showing the shrinkage of the world's biggest tropical glacier, the Quelccaya Ice Cap in Peru.
High mountain tropical glaciers have long been the alarm bells of global warming, but this ice cap, with its many glacial arms, is especially important since its ice contains an archive of data about El Niño and La Niña episodes for the past 1,800 years. The receding glaciers have also exposed frozen plants that were locked beneath the glacier for thousands of years — giving clues to the age of the glacier advances through the last several millenniums.
Melting Glaciers Cause One-Third of Sea-Level Rise
Mount Everest's Ice Is Melting
"Quelccaya is now smaller than it was 6,000 years ago," said pioneer tropical glacier researcher Lonnie Thompson of Ohio State University. "Moreover, the plant ages confirm that the advance of the Quelccaya Ice Cap about 6,000 years ago was much slower—about 300 meters over 1,600 years—than its current rate of retreat of about 300 meters in 25 years."
Will it disappear entirely? That's entirely up to humans, who are causing the global warming that is melting the ice cap.

Reston, urban community, in Fairfax county, northeastern Virginia, U.S. It lies adjacent to Herndon, 22 miles (35 km) west-northwest of Washington, D.C. The community was developed after 1962 by Robert E. Simon, whose initials form the first syllable of its name; it opened in 1965. Reston, an original concept in urban planning, consists of a number of villages (separated by woodland tracts), each with a "town centre" serving as a retail area. The layout is designed to minimize road traffic by locating a variety of dwellings within a half-mile (1-km) radius of each town centre. The overall community aims to be ... (100 of 155 words)

To make 5 to 6 cups of cooked sushi rice, you need 2 cups raw rice (short or medium grain), cooked on the stovetop or in an electric rice cooker until light and fluffy. Before cooking, rinse the rice several times in running water until the water runs clear (this may take up to 10 rinsings).
If you're not sure how to cook rice, follow the basic boil/steam method . (Do not use the Western method of boiling the rice like pasta and draining it in a colander. In fact, don't ever use this method. It's insulting to the rice.)
After the rice is done, stir it with a chopstick to loosen the grains, then let it sit, covered, for about 10 minutes to steam.
If you have a bottle of sushizu, a pre-mixed vinegar and sugar item, you can use it. If not, heat the following ingredients, mixing until the sugar dissolves:
6 tablespoons Japanese rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
While the rice is still warm, gradually sprinkle the vinegar mixture over the rice, fanning the rice as you go. Use a rice paddle with a cutting motion to mix the vinegar mixture into the rice without mashing the grains. The fanning produces the shiny gloss inherent in sushi rice. It takes about 10 minutes to fan the rice thoroughly. Proceed to shape the rice into sushi as desired. (Tip: When handling or shaping rice with your hands, wet your fingers with water to prevent the rice from sticking to them.)

We had just moved from the Del Coronado Hotel to spend our last few days in SD in the gas lamp quarter. This was such a great decision.
We loved the area, the hotel itself was really very nice and way more affordable than the Del, great location that was walking distance to more restaurants than I could eat at in two months, and they accommodated our request for an upgrade based on my wife's platinum status as a frequent visitor.
But more than all of that, the staff were friendly, professional, helpful, accommodating, and just good to deal with. Great job everybody, how you deliver makes me want to stay at your hotel the next time I go to San Diego.

The house is located just 1 mile to the entrance of Acadia National Park in a quiet, wooded spot 4 miles before Bar Harbor. The real log cabin sits well back from the road nestled amongst trees, you can find yourself unwinding and relaxing in the calming atmosphere. The time when you just want to chill for awhile, you'll have plenty of space in both the living room and loft to watch TV, do a jigsaw puzzle, play a board game, sit around the kitchen table for dining or just some conversation, or read a good book by the fire. The cabin is conveniently on the free Explorer Bus route with access just a short distance from the end of our driveway. And do bring the dog along!
The only complaint we've heard in 15 years is that they have to leave and go back home!
Gale's Garden Guesthouse is a wonderful cabin to come home to after exploring nearby Bar Harbor, or after a day of breathtaking hiking in Acadia National Park.
The master bedroom is situated in the back of the house, looking out towards the forest. The second bedroom has two single beds, perfect for our two daughters. There's an upstairs loft area with comfortable furniture and a pair of skylights - you feel a bit like you're up in the trees. The kitchen is well-equipped and we ate in for more than half our meals.
Close by, there's a nice 15 minute walk to the ocean, a miniature golf course, BBQ - Mainely Meat, and a little further afield, a very cool microbrewery (Atlantic Brewery), and of course Bar Harbor shopping, nic nacs, etc.
Gale did a great job of making us feel welcome; renting from her was easy and convenient. A quick aside - our daughter lost her iPod, fortunately Gale's cleaner (Tammy) found it and is generously mailing it to our house in California.
All in all this was one of our family's best vacations and we look forward to returning to Gale's Garden Guesthouse.
This cabin has it all. It is very close to the Hulls Cove entrance to Acadia National Park and only a few short miles to the Village of Bar Harbor. The greatest thing is that is's close to Bar Harbor - but just far enough away to escape the craziness of the village shopping district. We were very happy to find a cabin that allowed dogs which was great. Our nine year old daughter loved the porch swing while reading her book after a long day of hiking in the park. The location is great especially since we decided to drive up to the summit of Cadillac Mtn for the sunrise as it is close to the main park loop road. The cabin was very clean and fully stocked. The size and location were just right. Thanks, Gale!
-Rick, Rachel and Piper (woof)
We just want to say thank you and let you know how much we enjoyed staying at your lovely log cabin in Bar Harbor! We had a fantastic week exploring Acadia National Park and the entire Mount Desert Island. What a beautiful part of the world! The cabin exceeded our expectations! It was spotlessly clean, very roomy and well equipped and in a great location. To sum it up: Puffin and Whalewatching tour in thick fog which resulted in NO sightings of either species=$180; seeing three deer on the front lawn at the cabin=PRICELESS!
This cabin is not only charming but very clean and equiped with everything you need. The setting is very private and the locaction is excellent. Its close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia without being right in the middle of the chaos. We loved the porch swing!
My wife, our dog, and myself stayed at Gales cabin for a week this recent summer. What a amazing time we had! The cabin was was perfect! Everything seemed brand new and the place was spotless. The charm and artistic detail of the cabin will make your vacation a memorable one. We really had a great time at Bar Harbor and the cabin made the trip a memorable one. From the cabin, you can walk down the road behind the cabin and come to the ocean where the scenery is majestic. I will never forget this trip. Thanks Gale, you are the best!
-Tim, Maya, and Rocco
This is the greatest place for the most fantastic yet economical vacation ever. Once you arrive on Mount Desert Island, you'll be busy here your entire visit. While staying at our log cabin home you'll have a full kitchen so you can eat in and pack lunches to go as much as you want for a huge savings. Acadia National Park, the Visitors Center is just a mile down the road, has it all: beaches, forests, cliffs, crashing surf, hiking trails, bike paths, lakes, mountains, picnic areas, and so much more for a fee of $25 per car for the whole week! The free explorer bus is easily accessed from the end of our driveway, it even takes your bikes along. For those who prefer to dine out, Bar Harbor has many fine, innovative restaurants featuring fresh, local produce and seafood. And homemade ice cream, the best anywhere!

As its name suggests, Creedence Clearwater Revisited is a new project associated with the legendary Creedence Clearwater Revival. The rhythm section of the original band launched the Revisited project in 1995. They planned to play the old Creedence Clearwater Revival hits for nostalgic fans and music lovers of a new generation. Stu Cook and Doug "Cosmo" Clifford (on drums and bass respectively) never thought the Revisited project would be as popular as it is today. They began playing at private parties, small clubs, and humble venues. Now they're performing at large venues like the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and selling out shows across the country. They have even released a live album titled Recollection.
The group has now performed all over North America, Europe, and Asia. The crowds are full of fans of the original CCR group as well as younger music lovers who have heard the classic songs on the radio and in films. Though the line-up is not exactly the same as the original band, Revisited founders Cook and Clifford took special care to capture and recreate the classic sound and attitude of the original CCR. They did extensive interviews and auditions before choosing Elliot Easton to play lead guitar. Easton gained his performance experience with the new wave band The Cars. Cook noticed that Easton's musical background was very similar to their own and his bluesy rock style fit in perfectly with the sound they were looking for. John Tristao slid into the role of lead singer and Steve Gunner rounded out the band with his multi-instrumental talents.
Cook credits Creedence Clearwater Revisited's success to an excellent rapport between band members and a joy in teamwork. The live album, Recollection, captures those qualities. The album's 22 tracks include classics like "Susie Q", "Born on the Bayou", "Run Through the Jungle", "Bad Mood Rising", and "Who'll Stop the Rain". The album continues to feed the hungry souls of Creedence fans everywhere with new twists on old favorites. The original CCR was always known for giving an explosive live performance and Revisited continues this tradition as well. Fans leave the venues satisfied with the reincarnation of one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
The music isn't the only thing that makes Creedence Clearwater Revisted concerts memorable; the stage presence and outgoing personalities of the band's members also plays a big part in the experience. Cosmo Clifford has always been known for his kindness towards fans. Not one performance goes by where Cosmo does not take time to chat with fans, pose for pictures, and sign autographs for all who desire to own a piece of rock history. Stu Cook gives a dazzling display of talent and charm with his electric bass on stage. He is the backbone of the group and a much-appreciated part of the band. Elliot Easton brings a wild and crazy aura to the stage. His deep love for folk, blues, soul, and rock is evident in his inspired guitar riffs. Steve Gunner amazes fans as he moves from guitar to keyboards, to harmonica, percussion, and taking his turn at the microphone. The versatility of Gunner's talents adds an aspect of awe to every performance. And last but not least, the big voice booming the classic songs is that of John Tristao. He's a big guy anyway you look at him, and his voice matches his appearance. His powerful pipes make sure the fan in the farthest seat gets a taste of a truly spectacular live performance.

Bug 770331 changed a pref on us, and our Mozmill tests have been busted ever since. We need to update the pref in our version of Mozmill to fix it.
Not sure if the Mozmill guys know about this one, so I'm Cc'ing Henrik.

Patch to update our version of Mozmill
This makes the Mozmill tests pass again for me locally. I'll push to try just to make sure though.
Has the upstream httpd component gotten an update? If yes Mozmill should be updated to use the latest version of httpd.js.
See bug 776453 which is now covering the mozmill core modules. I will have an updated version of Mozmill ready by today.
Landed with r=bustage-fix in comm-central as https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/e76231334aff
Whoops - so, I made a few mistakes here:
1) I assumed we maintained a fork of Mozmill 1.5. This is not true, and we shouldn't be monkey patching our instance of it.
2) The Mozmill team is working on fixing this upstream for both 1.5 and 2.0. See bug 776453. When the fix for 1.5 lands, we should update our instance of Mozmill.
So I'm going to keep an eye on Bug 776453. When the 1.5 fix lands, I'll be backing out https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/e76231334aff, and landing the update (after testing on Try of course).
Thanks to Sid for setting me straight on that one. :)

If chrome code injects a function into all pages, this prevents navigated-away inner windows from being collected. (I'm using the content-document-global-created pattern for injection; not sure if this matters.)
1. Install "Simple Injector" extension
2. Load pageWithLink.html
3. Click the link
4. Load about:memory in another tab
5. Click "minimize memory usage"
Expected: the inner window for pageWithLink.html should go away.
Result: the inner window remains.
Closing the tab that contained pageWithLink.html allows the inner to be collected.

Filed bug 669097 for help finding out how many extensions are affected.
This API was added in bug 549539, and I believe the example there is affected.
Oh, I bet this is what jlebar is seeing.... In particular, I bet console.log hits this. If so, we should probably treat this as critical.....
Yeah, this sounds bad. Also, console.log is _incredibly_ slow. I get 200 messages a second or so in a tight loop and the browser freezes.
I suspect console.log is hitting a different bug. I don't encounter this problem if I use the nsIDOMGlobalPropertyInitializer pattern (and inject an object which functions hang off of) instead of the content-document-global-created pattern.
(In reply to comment #4)
> Oh, I bet this is what jlebar is seeing....
You mean bug 668871 and/or bug 668809? jlebar, do you have any extensions installed?
(In reply to comment #7)
> jlebar, do you have any extensions installed?
Oh, bug 668871 comment 32 says he has Firebug, Adblock Plus, Bugzilla Tweaks and Telemetry.
(In reply to comment #4)
I'm also experiencing the same issue he is, and I have Firebug and Adblock Plus installed. I don't have the other two he has (although I have others.)
So it sounds like Firebug is indeed hitting this, probably with console.log.
I probably can't go a day without Firebug, but I'll upgrade to Firebug 1.8.0b5 and disable the others, and report back if it continues to happen to me, in case that helps.
Nightly 7.0a1 (2011-07-03) and Firebug 1.8.0b5.
With only Firebug, I still get hanging compartments but it's not consistent.
Calling console.log via content doesn't appear to do it even with Firebug showing these messages.
I ran a series of tests using different features of Firebug and restarting in between each, and it seemed like using the Net tab in Firebug caused a compartment to stick. However, when trying to streamline a test against a well known site (www.google.com) for this, I couldn't reproduce it anymore.
Using the as-standard Web Console net logging, inspecting, or the scratch pad, etc. works fine and the compartment seems to always go away. Having actually turned off Firebug for the first time in a while, I've come to realize this (the Web Console) is much nicer now than I thought.
If I use a site like github, and traverse in and out of a folder (which uses popstate), it happens regardless of my extensions or other actions. It's fairly reproducible. This was mentioned in bug 668871 comment 16 and appears to be a separate issue.
Facebook likeboxes also seem to stick around for a while/forever, although sometimes they appear to go away (eventually, *sometimes*.) This seems to happen regardless of extensions. Suspect a separate issue (probably not the same as popstate, but possibly?)
So AFAICT it's not (directly) related to console.log, with or without Firebug. Not sure if that helps, my tests weren't nearly as conclusive as I was hoping for.
> Also, console.log is _incredibly_ slow.
File a bug, please? And make sure to test it on TM, since on m-c each call to console.log involves creating a new sandbox or something silly like that?
This doesn't reproduce consistently for me, it looks like I need to click fairly quickly on the link to get the leak. I also tried debugging in gdb and that made it disappear, so it might be timing related.
I did find something weird in the CC log when it leaked:
0x7fffd05811a8 JS Object (Window) (global=7fffd05811a8)
--[injectedFunction]--> 0x7fffd0590560 JS Object (Proxy) (global=7fffd0581088)
--[parent]--> 0x7fffd0581088 [JS Object (Window) (global=7fffd0581088)]
--[xpc_GetJSPrivate(obj)]-> 0x7fffcd1022b0 [XPCWrappedNative (Window)]
--[mIdentity]-> 0x7fffce49c478 [nsGlobalWindow]
The wrapper for the function set as a property on one inner window has as its parent a different inner window. Those inner windows both have the same outer window (see below) and afaict that parent is the old inner window.
0x7fffd0581088 JS Object (Window) (global=7fffd0581088)
--[window]--> 0x7fffd0588028 [JS Object (Proxy) (global=7fffd05811a8)]
--[window]--> 0x7fffd0588028 [JS Object (Proxy) (global=7fffd05811a8)]
Blake: when we create the new outer window we don't do anything about existing "waive" wrappers, so when we then get .wrappedJSObject of the new outer we end up with the existing waive wrapper which is parented to the old inner window. We find the old waive wrapper because the hash uses the JSObject* as the key, and we transplant the new outer in the old. If I reparent waive wrappers that were parented to the old inner window to be parented by the new inner window in nsGlobalWindow::SetNewDocument then the leak seems to go away.
bz, it's not clear to me what about this bug is "critical" or why you've nominated it for release driver tracking. Can you say specifically what it is you hope release drivers should do here? Is this something that breaks Firefox or breaks extensions?

This bug may be causing lots of extensions to leak.
At the time I made my comment and nominated it was quite possible that any web page that used console.log() would effectively be leaked for the lifetime of the browser.
It's not clear to me that this is not the case. Needs checking.
It _is_ clear that the access patterns that Firebug uses seem to leak, which is something that we should probably care about.
That said, I'm not sure there's much release drivers can do here until there's a patch, if this is not a regression...
At the last memshrink meeting, we decided to file a separate bug on Firebug (as separate from the testcase in this bug) and then dupe if they turn out to be the same issue. Filed bug 669730.

Pages are not leaking for the lifetime of the browser, or even the tab. They do appear to be staying around slightly longer than desirable (it takes two clicks of "minimize memory usage" after navigating away before the compartment dies).
Kyle, are you referring to my testcase or something involving console.log()? With my testcase the leak seemed to persist for the lifetime of the tab.
(In reply to comment #19)
> Kyle, are you referring to my testcase or something involving console.log()?
> With my testcase the leak seemed to persist for the lifetime of the tab.
Sorry, should have made clear I was referring to console.log.
Can you not do that in this bug, please? :)
Release team isn't going to track this but if someone has a fix or more information that would cause us to want to track this, please pipe up.

Peter, want to attach a patch that does this? It seems like the "best" way to fix this bug until compartment-per-global.
Created attachment 555801 [details] [diff] [review]
I'll try to write an automated testcase.
Could you use static_casts instead of C-style ones?
Jesse: if you want a bug for porting InstallTrigger to nsIDOMGlobalPropertyInitializer you should file one (though it might be bug 669240).
Comment on attachment 555801 [details] [diff] [review]
peterv and I talked through this and there is a case where this patch won't fix the bug (namely: navigating cross origin and then back to the original origin). He has a plan to fix it.
Created attachment 567736 [details] [diff] [review]
Created attachment 568199 [details] [diff] [review]
The previous patch causes orange, because we can end up with an inner with no outer as the parent of a waive wrapper. I think not doing anything in that case should be fine, so this patch does that. It also clears any new exceptions that outerizing throws. Sorry for the double review, I didn't realize this could happen.
Comment on attachment 568199 [details] [diff] [review]
I think you can assert that there's no exception pending when we start the reparenting process, eliminating the need for mWasExceptionPending in the closure. Other than that, this looks good. It'll be really nice when the inner and outer window "hooks" are simply pointers to the inner our outer windows instead of having to re-compute them in C++.

Why the Cyber Kill Chain?
The Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain gives organizations a better understanding of security controls, how to use those controls, and the opportunity to stop attacks at each stage of the cycle before exfiltration of sensitive data occurs.Get the Report
Brute force attacks jumped 135% from 2014 levels.
65% of attacks detected in 2015 originated from the U.S.
Does this mean the attackers are physically in the United States? Of course not. It means they're staging attacks from compromised servers in order to avoid region-specific IP blocking. Geolocation blocking is not enough to stop today's threats.Get the Report
The retail sector experienced the most attacks per client of any industry sector.
24% of web attacks during 2015 were injection-based.
Taking advantage of outdated, porous versions of PHP, JavaScript and the like remains a popular (and often successful) way of infiltrating a system.Get the Report
Three countries accounted for 38% of all non-U.S. based attacks.

Boston Celtics Legend Larry Bird was a player that many feared when he was on the court. Having one of the prettiest jumpers in the game of basketball, if Bird had the shot, he was going to take it and he was going to make it. Racking up accolades that includes being a 3x NBA MVP, 3x NBA Champion, 2x NBA Finals MVP and a 12x All-Star, there's very little that Bird did not do. Heck, he even won NBA Head Coach of the Year later on in his career. Getting this hand-signed Larry Bird picture is a no-brainer and now you have the opportunity to add this to your collection and add the sharpshooter to complete your team!

This property is very nice! I stayed with my husband, my son, and my parents. There was plenty of room for everyone. The location is wonderful - right near the Metro and many good restaurants. Also, the building is just a short walk to Clarendon. I will be staying here again!
We stayed in Arlington to celebrate our daughter's 18th birthday and to enjoy a long weekend to Washington, DC. The apartment was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for the comforts of home. The front staff were wonderfully helpful and the metro was within a short walk and minutes from Washington. The kitchen had everything that I needed to cook a gourmet meal. The towels were soft, the showers were great and the beds were so very comfortable. My husband and daughter are vegans so my research payed off; there is a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and the Bakeshop (has lots of vegan goodies) nearby. The room had a great view. We will be returning in the summer.
The place was perfect for our group of 4. Easy transportation to DC. Grocery store close by. Very clean and loved the washer and dryer along with the top quality appliances. We will stay there again. Thank you, Pat
The decision to stay with Zen Hospitality at Ballston Avalon was a great choice. I am in VA once a month and have stayed at hotels in the past. Ballston Avalon was very spacious and had all of the items I needed for a relaxing long weekend. I was able to walk to the Metro, the Giant grocery store and also Buffalo Wild Wings. I will definitely use this VRBO in the future.
Truly a wonderful stay! The apartment was very clean, super cozy and very private. The location is convenient and the building staff is friendly and helpful. This particular apartment was incredibly room and beautifully updated. We never wanted to leave!! I cannot recommend highly enough!!
This was a great apartment for me & my family when we went to visit our son in DC over the Easter holiday. It was nice because it was out of the actual DC area, but DC was still easily accessible by the train, car or a nice walk. Very comfortable beds and everything was nicely kept and clean. There are coffee shops and grocery/liquor stores that were easily accessible. We will most likely be staying here again when we go out to DC to see our son. Thank you for letting us rent your place.

A former commerce minister is critical of the way the Executive Council handled the aftermath of its decision to award free-to-air TV licences, saying some councillors did not toe the government's line.
Frederick Ma Si-hang, who resigned from the administration in 2008 for health reasons, was scornful of some executive councillors who didn't support the government's decision and even distanced themselves from the Administration.
"I'm somewhat disappointed with the Executive Council's performance, because members have violated the Exco's confidentiality rule," Ma, whose commerce brief covered broadcasting, said in an interview with the South China Morning Post.
He said the government must be more aware of public opinion in future policymaking. Its decision to award licences to two companies, but not Ricky Wong Wai-kay's Hong Kong Television Network, sparked days of angry protests by tens of thousands.
Ma said he disagreed with the move by some lawmakers to invoke special Legislative Council powers that would compel Exco to reveal the details behind its decision.
"Once the floodgates opened on the matter, the government would be subjected to judicial reviews of other decisions, such as appeals against immigration decisions and land grants. The government couldn't function effectively [under these circumstances]," Ma said.
Ma criticised "some executive councillors" for breaching Exco's collective responsibility rule by failing to adhere to the government's line-to-take. He did not specify names nor the number of executive councillors.
"Some Exco members hope to score points among voters while keeping their seats in the Exco," he said. "They wanted to have the their cake and eat it, too … so they were passing the ball back to Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying," he said. "It sounded very unfair to Mr Leung."
He urged Leung's cabinet, and especially Exco's non-official councillors, to take heed of public opinion in the future, especially when handling sensitive policy decisions.
While Ma did not single out any specific Exco member in his criticism, the comments made by some in recent weeks have raised eyebrows.
Last month, Exco convenor Lam Woon-kwong said that when deciding to reject HKTV's application for a free-to-air licence, non-official members acted as advisers and that the final decision was made after the chief executive had consulted them.
Beijing-friendly lawmaker and executive councillor Starry Lee Wai-king also called on the government to explain the reasons behind its decision after tens of thousands of people criticised the outcome in rallies outside government headquarters.
Lam and Lee's remarks raised the possibility that non-official members were trying to distance themselves from the chief executive, but on Sunday Lam dismissed such speculation.
Ivan Choy Chi-keung, a political scientist at Chinese University, said the government might have underestimated the dissenting voices within Exco.
That in turn prompted dissent among members and the government failed to keep a lid on that disagreement.

As the league stage draws to a close, a few surprises deserve to be listed. The biggest has been the success of Sachin Tendulkar and Jacques Kallis. The men at the other side of 30s are now the poster boys of Twenty20 cricket.
A couple of retired cricketers have also stood the test of time. Anil Kumble still can't be trifled with and Sourav Ganguly can still get runs. Much as these seniors have bucked the trend, Yuvraj Singh's form has been most disappointing.
Everyone expected Shane Warne to be a bigger force in bowling than has been the case.
Among the foreign biggies, Adam Gilchrist hasn't lived up to his billing. Matthew Hayden is another whose failure is surprising. It's been also a no-show from AB de Villiers and Tillakaratne Dilshan.
A few youngsters have seized the opportunity. Saurabh Tiwary, Ambati Rayudu, Naman Ojha and T. Suman have all been noticed. Harmeet Singh and R Ashwin too have had their dream moments.
Irfan Pathan's success has gone unnoticed. He has bowled and batted manfully but everybody seems in a hurry to forget him. Robin Uthappa has been sensational and deserved to be on the plane to the Caribbean. The same is true for Amit Mishra and Murali Kartik.
A couple of other stars have gone unnoticed. Rahul Dravid batted too low down while VVS Laxman was laid low by injury and poor selection.

Oh F#@%
If anyone's been following me for the last few years, you know I used to put out a helluva lot of comics. And a majority of them, creator owned. ( Yes, amazingly I made a career out of doing original new IP without needing to rely on working on corporate owned characters generally speaking though sure, I'm never going to turn down something interesting that pays well! ) Yes, if you stick at it, or already have a decent enough audience, open to new things, creator owned works are a completely viable option, assuming you don't have high overheads and the ownership isn't distributed among too many parties to make the profits too small. But all that's for another post and many others say much more clever things than I on the subject...
But I pretty much dropped off the planet, productivity wise, for a couple years, for various reasons, plenty of them rather stupid, though we all have to go through life's garbage every now and then...& I'd had pretty plain sailing until that point. So I dealt with crap far more important, at the time, than doing comics, ( Though I now realize, I was dealing with some crap far *less* important than comics too )...and for awhile it didn't stop. I'd never dealt with so much drama and BS. Took me ages to learn I was surrounding myself with the wrong, vacuous, negative and destructive forces to my creativity and I just couldn't get anything done. Was like I'd stopped dead. My commitments, however, did not. And for far too long I went about screwing myself up, neglecting my career and what I've discovered since, is really central to my life. Being creative.
So My latest creator owned work with the awesome piece of humanity that is Ben McCool, took a backseat... and eventually hit a brick wall. And Choker disappeared off the radar for far too long. And it's all my fault, of course and I'll probably still be spending the next couple years apologizing for that as I ramp up again.
But now, it's DONE.
It's still hard to get into the grove to do comics again. Things still seem to take double the time they used to. Maybe I'm getting old. But it's done. The monkey of the eternal project that was Choker is finally off my back. Which is pretty liberating and I can now start thinking about new things & wrapping up the last of some of the still far too late, loose ends. I'll do an update on all the other things I get asked about soon, don't worry.
Not sure when Choker #6 will be out, sometime soon I assume. That'll be whatever's best for Image. There will be a TPB am sure, with some special things in it from Ben & I. The book Choker was always meant to be, in one handy volume, the way things really should be read! And hopefully, it'll be worth the wait.
It might be slow going but I'm back, and thanks to the amazing support of a host of good people now, my comics are coming with me.

summer youth conference for students 6th - 12th grade
Biblically Grounded
The most important thing to us is that we remain grounded in the Word of God, the Bible. We teach the Bible in sessions, seminars, tracks, and youth group time because we believe it is the single most important thing to use as a launching point in following
after Christ.
Local Church Minded
We strive for sustainable relationships, not spiritual highs. As such, we work towards your youth group growing together by housing them together per gender, enabling them to serve together and offering options that are youth group geared. We also have "youth group time" every night in which the group processes the day together.
All in One
Think of Momentum as a one stop shop for your needs at conference. Don't worry about finding hotel or where you're going to eat, it's all on campus. Let us worry about the logistics and free you up for shepherding your students during the week and having a great experience yourself!
Dynamic Speakers
Momentum is privileged to host speakers every year who connect well with Momentum's demographics. We invite speakers who challenge attendees in their walk with Christ and spur students to desire growth and action.
Integrated Outreach
We believe it's our biblical mandate to live ON MISSION. As such, we make opportunities available for outreach and evangelism every afternoon, training students to be able to transfer these experiences back home.
Authentic Worship
Each session at Momentum allows time for our students to respond to God through prayer and singing and every year students and staff say that times of worship are one of their favorite things about the conference.
Momentum Youth Conference

Summer conference for
students 6th-12th grade
challenging students to experience Jesus and follow him
Student and leader registration opens February 1. If your church has not attended Momentum before,we'll need to sign you up before then so your registrants can select your church as their sending church in order to register.
Everyone is in need of a comeback. No matter how far they've wandered or what they've done, God is a God of calling His people to Himself. Whether we are coming to Him for the first time in His redemptive grace for salvation or realizing that as His child we have a need to come back to Him every day.
All kinds of things in our lives make us feel like the pressure and expectations are too much. Whether we feel lost in sin and shame, pressed-down by what's expected, or are just striving for righteousness, there is One who calls us back to Himself. One who offers freedom.
The One is Jesus. He is the resurrected Savior who has defeated every enemy of heaven and earth and who makes the way for our comeback story. Every day as a follower of Christ, we come back to Him. He has made the greatest comeback ever known from physical death to life through His resurrection and now that extraordinary power also lives in us, enabling a coming back to Him.
Momentum 2017
youth pastors say
Not ready to sign up your group but interested in learning more? Great! We'd love to send you resources to help. Let us know!

Each year we feature sports tournaments like volleyball, dodgeball, basketball, and soccer. There are always "open play" equipment for corn hole, 9 square in the air, Hantis, Ultimate Frisbee, board games, and much more.
Momentum hosts multiple big group events like scavenger hunts, 5k runs, Knockerball, "cyborgs" nerf wars, and other fun opportunities.
We want to foster the arts through Momentum's Got Talent and emphasize Scripture memorization through Bible Quizzing.
