BELLEVILLE, Ont.—The Winnipeg Jets only have one way to go for Game 2 of their rookie tournament against Montreal tonight, and that's up.
The Jets dropped their first game, 8-1, to Ottawa on Friday, looking completely out-classed by a more talented and energized Senators team.
"It's going to be the same type of game, but the difference will be that we didn't travel 12 hours the day before," Jets coach Pascal Vincent said, Sunday morning. "We're more rested. When I look back at the game, first period we had some energy. But it was quite obvious after the first period that the energy level went close to zero. It was not just one or two players. It was the whole team.
"Tonight there's no excuse. Mistakes will be made for sure. But there's one that can't be made. It's the intensity level."
Vincent, head coach of the Manitoba Moose, the Jets AHL affiliate, will turn to goalie Griffen Outhouse, who played the third period of Friday's game in relief of starter Adam Carlson.
The undrafted Outhouse is fresh off his junior career with Victoria of the Western League, so this will be his first start against pro-calibre shooters.
"Obviously it's the highest level of hockey that I've ever played… I had the shakes going a little bit," the 21-year-old said of entering Friday's game for the final period. "I didn't really know what to expect. A little unsure of myself. After that I'm a lot more confident coming into this game."
Outhouse is from tiny Likely, B.C., a mining community an hour north of Williams Lake. Population, around 300.
"My school was K to 7. I think we had 18 kids at the school," he said. "I was lucky, I had two kids in my grade."
The hockey facilities weren't much, either.
"The lake when it freezes," Outhouse said. "That's all we've got there. We always had to drive out an hour to Williams Lake."
One of those drives was particularly memorable.
When he was around 10 years old, Outhouse met World Junior champion Carey Price, who brought his gold medal back to the town where he played minor hockey.
"That was massive," Outhouse said. "Something I'll never forget."
Tonight's game is significant, too, for a guy who has designs on stopping pucks for a living but who doesn't have a contract. He's simply here on a Jets invitation.
"I'm not going to make it too big of a deal," Outhouse said. "I'm just going to try to be myself, showcase what I can do."
If it doesn't work out immediately, he's enrolled at the University of Alberta, Canada's scholastic hockey powerhouse.
"If I get an opportunity to play pro, that's what I want to do," he said. "But I can't throw all my eggs in one basket coming here."
Outhouse describes himself as a "read and react" goalie.
As for his colourful last name, he says the reaction he gets is usually positive.
"The most trash talk I probably hear is someone on Twitter," he said. "Fans seem to love the last name. I've never really heard anything on the ice. No one says anything. From friends I've got a couple of nicknames that I'm not allowed to say."
Vincent liked the statement Outhouse made by coming into Friday's blowout and playing well, only giving up one goal.
"It's not easy. But the report we have on him is he competes really hard," Vincent said. "He can face that kind of adversity. First pro game, you're cold and you're going in the net, you know your team is down by multiple goals, a tough one for him. But he responded well. I really like the way he competed."
Vincent will juggle his lines a bit tonight, pairing 2017 first-round draft pick Kristian Vesalainen with 2018 second-rounder David Gustafsson.
"We're trying combinations," the coach said. "If it works, good. If it doesn't, we didn't mind Vesalainen, (C.J.) Seuss and (Kristian) Reichel."
The Jets will wrap up the tournament with a second game against Ottawa on Monday.

The start of a new year brings resolutions and at the top of the list is eating healthier.
Eating healthier is a change in the way we live. For many, food is an important part of everyday life, but if you eat wrong it can have a profound effect on your body.
Certified nutritionist Dr. John Dinkelmann of Dinkelmann Health Center at 21 E. Acton Ave. in Wood River helps people adjust their eating habits to attain a healthier life.
"It's very important that people have to balance their food in a specific manner," Dinkelmann said. "The old way of 40 percent carbohydrates, 30 percent proteins and 30 percent fat is still a good way to go."
Processed foods and bad carbohydrates are easily accessible and most people understand these aren't healthy. It's also presumed fats are bad, but Dinkelmann wants to dispel that myth.
"I have a top triathlete who comes to me," he said. "He's 54 now but started coming to me when he was 28. He had a serious condition, which we repaired and we changed his diet. Back then, all triathletes carbed up. Everything was carbs, carbs, carbs because they want energy. I showed him research and shifted him toward more fats. Now 65-70 percent of his consumption is fat. At 54, he gets paid $3 million a year to compete in 5 events and he's 8 minutes faster now than he was at 28. The only change was his diet. He still does the same workout plan and uses the same equipment."
This is because fats are easier for our body to process than sugars and carbohydrates. According to Dinkelmann, fat goes through 5 conversions in our body before turning to energy, while sugar goes through 17 conversions.
Dinkelmann is a big proponent for meats and vegetables; most notably the green leafy kind.
"There are good nutrients in fruit, but people that have trouble handling sugar need to be careful with fruit," Dinkelmann said. "They can get all the same nutrients from vegetables, get the protein from meat and get the fat in between."
Dinkelmann supports the Dr. Melvin Page Food Plan because it limits the intake of grains and dairy and promotes unlimited consumption of green, low-carbohydrate vegetables and proteins.
"Dr. Melvin Page traveled the world and looked at deficiencies and in certain parts of the world there are certain deficiencies that create different problems," Dinkelmann said. "Because of those deficiencies, Page came up with a food list that was promoted."
But eating organic can be hard for people on the go — it's easier to grab processed food. Dinkelmann gave a quick tip to help kickstart a new lifestyle with plenty of nutrients that won't take much of your valued time.
"If you're on the go, boiled eggs are great and it's so easy, eight minutes and you've got boiled eggs and then take them with you," he said. "An egg is one of the most underestimated foods you can get because it's so complete."
The most important tips toward a healthier lifestyle are dedication and patience. These changes won't take place overnight.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Review: How is the Premium Smartphone Performing?
With the "Galaxy Note 9", Samsung once again presented a premium smartphone, which is intended to appeal above all to lovers of particularly large devices. The successor of the "Galaxy Note 8" has been available in stores for a few weeks now and is already attracting some attention. We also wanted to take a closer look at the new Phablet model and subjected it to intensive testing. The test results, which should certainly also be of particular interest in the context of a purchase decision, can be found in the following lines.
Design and Workmanship
After unpacking the device, you will notice one point in particular: It's big. Its dimensions of 161.9 x 76.4 x 8.8 millimetres are similar to those of flagship smartphones from other manufacturers. The 6.4 inch display eventually has to go somewhere. The relatively high weight of 201 grams does not surprise in view of the enormous size further.
What is quite unpleasant in the test is the fact that it is virtually impossible to operate the device with one hand. If you have got used to using your mobile phone while walking or elsewhere, you will have problems with the "Galaxy Note 9". The giant smartphone requires the use of two hands and the accompanying attention.
This circumstance is made up above all by the absolutely flawless workmanship. The mobile phone lies wonderfully in the hand, the rounded edges do not slip and the mobile phone never threatens to slip out of the hand. Samsung uses only the highest quality materials and processes them excellently. Front and back are made of glass. They seem to merge with the metal frame and contribute to the very high quality impression the phone leaves.
On the right side of the metal frame is the power button, which has been placed absolutely sensibly and is hit intuitively. On the other side you will find the volume rocker and the Bixby button. These have also been strategically placed.
The fingerprint scanner, which will be examined in more detail later, was accommodated on the back. The dual camera, the LED flash and a heart rate monitor on the back of the phone were also placed above this.
A speaker, the S-Pen slot, a USB-C port and a headphone jack are located on the underside.
There are no points of criticism. The smartphone is flawlessly manufactured and consists exclusively of high-quality materials. Only the enormous size is disturbing in the test. However, this is ultimately a question of personal preferences. By activating the "one-handed mode", however, the smartphone can also be used with one hand.

That is your call to make.Then that means i'm vain. Since i had to see myself before i knew who i was
What you describe is natural.
Who told you you were naked and why would you believe them?
That was in jest buddy.
But really, how do you measure vanity against just having the confidence to admit that in some things, confidence is a prerequisite, and some have earned it and do not mind showing it.
If you got something, own it.

TAMPA (USASOC News Service) - The U.S. Special Operations Command�s Care Coalition hosted 54 wounded, ill, and injured Special Operations Forces service members on MacDill AFB through the Wounded Warrior Athletic Reconditioning Program (WWARP) for a USSOCOM All-Sports Training Camp March 3 � 7.
The weeklong event consisted of six different sports � shooting, archery, track and field, volleyball, swimming, and cycling, and Warrior Games trials with coaches on hand to provide instruction. Those participating also had the opportunity to challenge USSO-COM�s command staff, led by USSOCOM Commander Adm. William H. McRaven, and the University of South Florida�s varsity women�s volleyball team to a few exhibition matches of seated volleyball.
�The purpose of this event is to introduce our wounded, injured, and ill SOF service members to new sports, activities, and equipment that are specially adapted to accommodate their injuries and limitations,� said Army Maj. Tony Gonzalez, USSOCOM adaptive sports program manager.
The WWARP�s mission is to assist in both the physical and mental recovery processes and works to improve the overall health and welfare of wounded, ill, or injured Special Operations Forces, through exposure to adaptive team sports and recreation. WWARP supports both active duty and retired members of the Special Operations community.
�Our program affords them the opportunities to get back into their sport(s) of choice and receive world-class training from some of the best coaches in the world,� Gonzalez said. �The program seeks to help its athletes adapt and adjust to their injuries and do so in a peer-based environment.�
There are some athletes that have been a part of events like this for several years such as Marine Corps Staff Sgt. John Stances.
�I have been part of the Warrior Games for 3 years and it�s great,� said Stances. �The camaraderie is awesome, I love it.�
Then there are the athletes just getting into these events for the very first time, and Army Master Sgt. David Arabinko is a perfect example of this type of athlete.
Arabinko retired after 27 years of service after sustaining his worst injury in 2003 when he was shot through the head with a 7.62mm bullet. This is Arabinko�s first year at the Warrior Games and he said he was looking forward to the bike riding and shooting events.
�I came here because I haven�t done anything for three years and I want to learn to work out and get back into shape and try to lose some weight, it�s like going to basic training and working out for the first time,� said Arabinko. �There are some people here that are in really good shape but most of these guys are wheelchair confined or missing limbs, but they are teaching camaraderie, sportsmanship and how to be part of the team.�
There are many benefits for the athletes that participate in this event but the hard work doesn�t come without some repercussions.
�I have been perpetually sore since I have been here,� said Arabinko.
Athletes on hand represented every service, component and Theater Special Operations Command within USSOCOM, and Gonzalez stated they continue to reach out to get more athletes all the time.
One of the other purposes of the WWARP is to introduce new athletes to adaptive sports and to provide returning athletes intermediate-to-advanced training. Ideally, many of the athletes will return home and continue their participation in their own communities.
�Our goal is to not only support our current participants, but to also reach those wounded, injured, or ill service members that erroneously believe that their athletic days are behind them. Our current athletes are proof that anything is possible if you refuse to let your limitations hold you back,� said Gonzalez. �Prior to their injuries, our participants were some of the best athletes that the military had to offer.�
The athletes that excel in training and express a desire to do so may be selected to the team that will represent USSOCOM at the 2014 Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, Sept. 22 � Oct. 4, Gonzalez said. Gonzalez added they plan on having the final team decided no later than June.

Bracteata is one of only two species in the genus, Veltheimia, coming from forests and coastal scrub of the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Showy, green-spotted, dusky pink tubular flowers are arranged on a thick spike much as red hot pokers (Kniphofia). Leaves, though, are broad, glossy, and wavy-edged, forming large, lush-looking basal rosettes. Rich soil preferred; allow to dry out in summer.

Google has updated their Chrome Web Store policy to stop accepting Cryptocurrency mining extensions and remove existing ones from the store. Google will no longer accept cryptocurrency extensions and will remove existing extensions from the store by end of June 2018.
Google allowed cryptocurrency extensions on the Chrome Web Store as long as it is the extension's single purpose, and the user is adequately informed about the mining behavior. However, according to Google, 90% of the extensions submitted to the Web Store failed to comply with these norms. On top of that, all these extensions are resource intensive and ultimately end up slowing down Chrome and the users' computer.
Starting today, Chrome Web Store will no longer accept extensions that mine cryptocurrency. Existing extensions that mine cryptocurrency will be delisted from the Chrome Web Store in late June. Extensions with blockchain-related purposes other than mining will continue to be permitted in the Web Store.
Keeping the Chrome Web Store free of malicious extensions and maintaining a positive user experience while allowing extensions on Chrome has always been a challenge for Google. We regularly see the company updating policies and tweaking existing ones to stop bad actors from taking advantage of Chrome users. This, however, is a cat and mouse game. We will continue to see smart (!) folks sneaking in their shady extensions through new and innovative methods. We users should also do due diligence before installing anything new on our computers and also review installed extensions and apps periodically.

Sylvia Rose Novak | The official blog for Things&Ink
28-year-old Sylvia Rose Novak is a folk/Americana songwriter, a multi-instrumentalist and activist based in Birmingham, Alabama, USA. We talked to Sylvia about the inspirations behind her songwriting, her growing collection of tattoos, and background in horse-training…
When did you realise that music and songwriting was what you wanted to do?It hit me kind of like a train in the summer of 2013. I wrote a couple of songs in the six months leading up to that revelation without any real purpose or desire to make it "a thing". But, honestly, it feels like lightning hit me at some point that June and I've never looked back.
What inspires your songwriting? Is there anyone you admire? Ryan Adams. I want to grow up to be Ryan Adams, pinball machines and black Cadillac and all. He fascinated me. He's also one of my favorite writers and musicians. I also greatly admire Jason Isbell. As far as what inspires me, that's a grab bag. It could be a minor character in a book I'm reading or maybe just the state of the world. I've written songs about people I've never met just because their story struck me. I tend to prefer writing about things and people that are not me or my life, but I do that on occasion too.
How does music fit with your other interests, such as yoga and horse training? One of my friends and, for lack of a better word, "mentors" in the yoga community (Ruby Chandler. She owns Shakti Power Yoga Athens. She is beyond amazing.) played one of my songs in a class I was attending once and, to my surprise, it actually worked! I always kind of wondered if it would. Outside of that, I think my live performances are more directly influence by my yoga practice than my writing is. I try to stay totally present for and connected to the audience – that is yoga.
I was a horse trainer for a long long time. I actually still do one-off training work sometimes. It's in my blood. People will bring me a horse and say "This horse isn't safe. It's explosive. It's impossible." and 99% of the time, they're just not listening. The horse is scared or anxious. Some of the best horses I've ever worked with were "impossible". Now, I mostly just hack around on my horse of 11 years, Milo (who was also "impossible".) I got him in 2007 and love him more than almost anything. He's a big fat thoroughbred and he's ridiculous. Like a giant dog.
With so many projects going on what do you do to relax? I'm actually currently sitting on my couch rereading "Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs" for the fourth time. This is one of my very rare quiet mornings, so I'm enjoying it immensely (as I wait for the internet installer). I find ways to decompress when I can, but it's rare. Hitting my yoga mat and working with my horse both help even though they're active things. I also like to run when I can. I'm also a big fan of wine. Specifically Pinot Noir and Shiraz.
Can you tell us about your tattoos, you're an incredibly creative person, are your tattoos a reflection of this? I think they're more a reflection of the tattoo artists. Most of the time I walk in and say "this is kind of what I want and where I want it". And let them do the rest. I am by no means a visual artist. I once did an acrylic painting of Warren Zevon that looks a lot like Jim Henson. [My husband hangs it up in the house, anyway.] I have the album artwork from Jason Isbell's "Here We Rest" on my back. It's a piece of artwork by Browan Lollar. I love that record but, moreso, love that piece of artwork. My favorite tattoo is the big Ryan Adams tribute that I have on my forearm. Radar at Walk The Line in Athens, GA knocked it out of the park. I think my tattoos are more a tribute to the things that inspire me than of my actual creativity. – except for the compass earth between my shoulder blades. That one's a reflection of being 18 and making a poor life choice.

A very dear friend of mine made this beautiful Fall wreath for my entryway! She knows I like to celebrate the "Seasons"! You can hear the "cackle, cackle" from my east coast cousins (aka J) who doesn't believe California has 4 destinct seasons? But we do, we HAVE to so we don't get bored with 79 degrees and sunny all year round!?
There is so much good in world all around us! Sometimes it's a thoughtful gift from a friend, and/or their forgiveness when you haven't been a such a good friend. These are the gifts we recognize, we pay attention to, and it fills our heart with appreciation.
I have an idea: let's pass it on, pay it forward, or just take a moment to have coffee with a lonely person. The decorations are already up so let's get a jump ahead on our holiday cheer?

I had an entertaining conversation with my 4-year old daughter and her 4-year old friend yesterday. It occurred to me that in order to have an engaging story with a strong plot, it helps if you have a bad guy. So, for several minutes, I would ask the two young'uns, "where would Cinderella be without…" and they would yell "the evil stepmother!" Where would The Little Mermaid™ be without Ursula the Sea Hag? Where would Little Red be without the big bad wolf? Well, you get the idea, but it's a fun game, the girls enjoyed it, and you can go on as long as you like. Heck, you can even do voices like Darth Vader, if you're into that sort of thing.
So… where would Dubbya be without Saddam? He tried to work his white-cowboy-hat hoo-doo using Osama bin Laden, but when he realized the improbability of successfully tracking him down, he had to shift the embodiment-of-evil a little ways down the axis to land on Mr. Hussein. Now, I'm not saying the guy isn't evil. I'm not even saying he doesn't deserve to die. I'm saying I don't like our new big-stick foreign policy, and I don't approve of the way the sons were handled – I find it hard to believe that there couldn't have been a better opportunity to take them alive and take them to justice.
On a related note, here's a good article from The Guardian U.K. called America Is a Religion.
On an unrelated and lighter note, here's a fairly convincing argument that Paul really is dead.

Fa'aumu Kaimana: Routes and roots towards home
In pursuit of social justice, I believe in defying patriarchal conceptions of family that have been oppressing communities of color for too long.
As the only known member of my family to survive, I believe in unsettling—through commitment to social justice and authentic relationships—the hegemonic conceptions of family that are limited exclusively to immediate kin ties. I strive to uplift the diversity of cultures, embodied experiences and expressions of relationships that make my Pacific Islander communities strong. I want to build relationships where shared meaning can be made from disparate struggles of inequities and oppression. I am currently wrapping up training as an inter-group dialogue facilitator for the School of Social work and continuing my advocacy work at Pacific Islander Student Commission.
I am Fa'aumu Kaimana, and I am a third-year student at the University of Washington double majoring in Honors Medical Anthropology and Sociology.
I am currently a Community Climate Lead for Pacific Islander Student Commission, as well as a peer facilitator for the School of Social Work. I am active in my Seattle Metro Pacific Islander community, as well as an ally for local Indigenous communities. I will soon be doing research to unsettle patriarchy in institutional definitions of "family," as well as leading my own First Year Interest Group in the coming year.

LeSalon in Embankment exceeds expectations, every time.
Really impressed with Le Salon, the ease at which it was to book, and the beautician Sabrina who was friendly and professional and arrived promptly at my flat. She did a great wax which was relatively pain free. It was my first time using Le Salon and I would absolutely recommend it.
Le Salon came into WeWork Mansion House and I was lucky enough to get an appointment for a manicure. My therapist was friendly, super efficient and made my ugly nails look fab again!!! Thank you so much for the lunchtime pick me up. Would highly recommend your service.
Valentina did a great job! Love my nails. Thank you.
Kamila was really lovely and the treatment was very good although I was expecting around 90 min and she took 60 min. I was expecting a little bit more really.
It is always amazing having her at home. First time trying the French Manicure and she is so perfectionist that is a bless to see her working. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you!!

The OSHA Recordkeeping Scramble
Unique ID: 5975c442-ff38-47da-a735-8a162256a125
A new year is upon us, which means the start of the annual scramble to finalize your 2015 OSHA 300 logs and 300A form. So what is actually required per OSHA's recordkeeping standard? In the simplest terms, there are three things that need to happen:
- Whenever a recordable incident occurs (meaning it required medical treatment, job restriction, days off work, etc.), the injury must be recorded on your OSHA 300 log within seven days.
- At the end of the year, each company is required to complete the OSHA 300A summary form. This is completed using the information from the 300 log.
- Then the complete OSHA 300A form must be posted (wherever employee notices are typically posted) from February 1-April 30. It's important to remember that only the 300A summary form should be posted, as the 300 log contains personal injury information.
But how does that work for temporary staffing companies when one of their temporary employees is injured? OSHA's recordkeeping standard states that whoever provides "day-to-day supervision" of the temporary employee is who must maintain the injury on their OSHA 300 log. In most cases, this will be the host employer. Even if the staffing company has an on-site supervisor, "day-to-day supervision" is defined as whoever specifies the "output, product or result" as well as the "means, methods and processes" to achieve them – meaning that unless the staffing company is determining what products are made each day and how, they're likely not providing day-to-day supervision.
This doesn't necessarily mean that staffing companies are off the hook though. Temporary staffing is not considered an exempt industry for OSHA recordkeeping purposes, so an OSHA 300 log still needs to be maintained for injuries that happen to staff employees. Even if there are no injuries for the year, a 300A summary form still needs to be completed and posted during the required timeframe.
There are also instances where the staffing company will agree to maintain the OSHA 300 logs for their employees as a service to their clients. If there's an agreement in place that the temporary staffing company will maintain the 300 logs, the staffing company will likely be on the hook if they're not maintaining the logs as required.

At the time of the Waco incident, the official White House line was that President Clinton had barely been aware of the handling of Waco: that had all been handed off to Janet Reno. There were those skeptical of the claim that a President would blindly hand off his foremost domestic crisis to an Attorney General who'd been on the job only a few weeks, and was his "third pick" at that. There were suggestions that the real chain of command lay through the nominal Associate Attorney General, Webster Hubbell, a close Clinton friend, to Vince Foster, another Clinton friend in the White House. There were even suggestions that Waco might have played a role in Foster's suicide. (Alright, I know, I know.... I don't have to get involved in that stack of issues!) Until very recently, however, there was no proof to rebut the official line.
The first bit of evidence came as President Clinton attempted to wiggle on yet another of his problems. When interviewed by investigators regarding a campaign financing investigation, he was asked about his meeting with Indonesian businessman James Riady on April 19, 1993. Clinton told investigators that he could not remember the meeting very well because he was so distracted by the final assault on Waco. He told the investigators he should have refused to allow the gassing, but instead "I gave in to the people in the Justice Department who were pleading to go in early, and I felt personally responsible for what had happened, and I still do." (Reuter's news service, July 25, 2000.)
Further evidence came when, in February 2001, Linda Tripp--who had, in between talking to a certain intern, been Vince Foster's secretary--talked to the Larry King Show:
KING: Let me name same people and your thoughts back on them. Vince Foster?
L. TRIPP: Oh, a wonderful man.
KING: Did you know he was depressed?
L. TRIPP: Let me relay a little story to set this up. Vince Foster... was dignified, decent, caring, smart. When Waco happened, that's when I first knew that Vince was falling apart.
KING: How so?
L. TRIPP: I was with him -- well, we had CNN all the time, not to plug, but it was always on in the White House. And a special bulletin came on showing the atrocity at Waco and the children. And his face, his whole body slumped, and his face turned white, and he was absolutely crushed knowing, knowing the part he had played. And he had played the part at Mrs. Clinton's direction. Her reaction, on the other hand, was heartless. And I can only tell you what I saw.
KING: How do you know they were involved in this? I thought this was a Reno action of which Janet played and felt very sorry.
L. TRIPP: This was...
KING: Foster-Clinton?
L. TRIPP: Foster, Mrs. Clinton, Webb Hubbell, Janet Reno.
Most recently of all, I received through the FOIA suits an FBI agent's "home video." On it is a segment showing an FBI SWAT leader briefing his team, and relating the content of the command briefing he had just attended. As he notes, this information comes directly from the top level of command at Waco. [To save space, I've just compressed the soundtrack.]. He makes it clear that the decisions are being made from the White House, through "Hubbell, Hummel, whatever his name is," and that the new adminstration is reluctant to have the "first military, paramilitary, bloodshed domestic, on American soil," be "something of this magnitude."

"The seas of change are string, I can feel a choice coming my way and I will have to live with the consequences of that choice. What am I to do…"
I had written the above passage almost a week ago now, I never posted it, and yet it still came to fruition.
There has been a clash between the people of my life. Two people who once held a mutual respect are not at each others throats, I can see both sides of the coin, I can understand what each is trying to say, and still, while I don't agree with ones course of action and consider it wrong I will stand by her because, she is my friend.
Her biggest fear is one that I will not stand for her and not protect her, she is wrong. I would stand, even if it meant I was also seen in the same light, because, that's what friends do.
Many will say you don't have to pick a side, this is foolish, you always have to pick a side and what matters most is who's side you pick; because it doesn't matter if they are right or if they are wrong, you pick a side based on those you're loyal too. You stand by them no matter what, you pick up the pieces not to make yourself seem like a better person, you do it because they are your friend.
That's just how it is in my eyes.

Hi all,
It is with a heavy heart we announce that morethan.tv will be shutting down over the next few weeks. The reason for shutting down is that staffers have busy life and doesn't have time or power to build this place to what you deserve it to be.
We want to thank our dedicated FLS and staffers, former and present for all their hard work on building MTV to what it is today. And to our users, thanks a thousand for all your support. This would not have been possible without you.
Our servers will stay online for as long as they are paid for and we estimate that will be at least three more weeks. Take this time to download what you want to see in the future, and if you are feeling like it, upload stuff to another tracker that is missing what we have.
And now as a warning, I know that most of you won't have a choice but we SERIOUSLY warn against joining nebulance. a couple of months ago we where in discussions with alastor about a possible merger between MTV and NEB, and during a light security audit of their tracker we found several critical security breaches, e.g. their SQL server beeing open to the internet and servers registered in alastor's own name. They lack a security focused culture within their ranks, and joining them will put you in a elevated risk in terms of law enforcement or malicious people.
Again, thanks for a wonderful time. And we hope to see you guys around.
-Regards fallout & staff

Sell-off in Meituan's shares may be approaching as post-IPO lockup period ends
Mar 13, 2019 (China Knowledge) - Meituan Dianping may be in for a storm next week its six-month post-IPO lockup period whereby employees and cornerstone investors are banned from selling their shares ends next week.
Since being listed in September last year, the company is done 24% from its listing price and key investors who could only watch their shares lose value may look to sell their shares.
Up to 2.6 billion of the company's publicly floated shares held by pre-IPO and cornerstone investors will be unlocked next week with an additional 512 million which are held by employees also set to be unlocked.
Earlier this year, Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi also saw a massive sell-off, losing USD 6 billion in market value over three days following the end of its post-IPO lock up period as early investors in the company looked to make their exits.
For Meituan, shareholders who have been with the company since its first funding rounds can still expect to receive a handsome profit with shares bought in 2010 reported to have just cost HKD 0.40 each.
The company which was one of the most highly anticipated IPOs on the Hong Kong stock exchange last year has failed to deliver bringing in some of the worst returns. Following its recent earnings announcement, analysts from Bernstein had downgraded the stock, citing intensifying competition from rivals Alibaba Group.

Jason's Bar Mitzvah Trip To Israel
It was a tiring, three-plane, 24-hour flight, getting in late the night before, April 7. We stayed at a delightfully friendly inn near the Prime Minister's residence, about a 15-minute stroll to the Old City. We slept and had a hearty breakfast from the inn's large, delicious buffet. After 2-minutes of sirens all over Israel during which all stop to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day, Jason's Bar Mitzvah took place at 10:02AM on April 8 at the Haas Promenade overlooking all of Jerusalem, the Old City at the center of view. Here we're carrying the Torah to the Promenade, then part of the view over Jerusalem (hazy due to a sand storm in Saudi Arabia blowing sand far into Jerusalem's skies).
Instead of a long post with deeper observations, maybe to come later, instead this post will simply present some of the joy on Jason and younger brother (8) Gavin's faces at their experiences. (Jason was totally jazzed, and performed his prayers and Torah portion with enthusiasm and ease. Gavin was a bit jet-lagged in the morning of the 8th but recovered his boisterous energy and spirits by noon.) A few photos with me may sneak in. But. for me, these of Jason and Gavin are the most important. Look back at your albums. The photos of sites are nice momentos but the photos of your children at the sites are the heart that beats and stirs.
Both boys rose to be champion travelers, terrifically behaved and engaged, and their reflections on what they saw and experienced have been all that a father could hope for from this exposure to the land, history, and traditions of our Jewish religion and peoples. Jason acts and takes seriously that he is now a young man, with such responsibilities following this core rite of passage. Gavin says he will be nicer after experiencing and discussing the centrality in our faith of replacing bad with good in ourselves and the world, bolstered by meeting so many pleasant Israelis and visitors from all over the globe.
(Many more photos below the fold; There is a 10-hour difference between California and Israel, so the dates on the photos reflect San Diego time, not Israel's)
After the Bar Mitzvah, we went into the Old City and directly to the Western Wall of the Holy Temple, atop which now sit Mosques. This is the first time that Jason is wearing the Tefillin, as directed several times in the Bible. ("And it shall be for a sign for you upon your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that the law of the LORD may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand did the LORD bring you out of Egypt."—Exodus 13:9)
And here are the boys praying at the Wall, when we returned a second time.
Here, the boys are exploring a hand-chiseled water tunnel from thousands of years ago, to supply the walled city of Jerusalem. It is part of the extensive archeology digs on the south side of the Temple Mount.
The Roman Cardo (Main Street) through the Old City is depicted behind the boys standing at what little remains now. There are many upscale shops there now, at one of which Jason selected a silver Star of David necklace to proudly wear.
The Old City is not all antiquities and old stones. Here, on the outskirts, the boys attack a realistic replica of the traditional gold foil covered Chanukah coin. Modern art and fun art is to be found all over Israel.
At Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum and grounds, the new exhibit halls are a well-designed and accessible time line of the incredible that must be known as only too credible. As elsewhere in Israel, the military young are always to be seen in groups learning at first hand their history and the urgency of defending their future. They gifted us chicken schnitzel sandwiches, on delicious rolls and filled with salad. The boys and I voted the sandwiches as 9's. (Certainly better than the mystery meat on white bread we, sometimes if anything, got in the Marine Corps!) Next door to Yad Vashem is Mt. Hertzl, the national military and national leaders cemetary. The following week is the Memorial Day. We helped one family tend to the grave of their son, and we watched the rehearsal for the ceremonies for Memorial Day at Theodore Hertzl's gravesite square.
At the Dead Sea, the lowest spot on earth, the boys enjoyed the effortless floating on the salty waters.
Then it was on to hiking in Ein Gedi, the oasis in which David hid from Saul, and in which the Romans camped during the long siege of Masada. (The walking stick that Gavin is holding he called his Moses Stick, which he carried throughout the trip, trying to make miracles. He learned that it is not man who makes miracles but man or woman as the vessel, or a stick, through which G-d makes miracles happen or gives us the strength and inspiration to create them. That really struck him with a new understanding of our relationship with our Maker.)
There's not a lot remaining atop Masada of the fortress-palace built by Herod at which the last Jews held out who resisted Roman rule. But, the stark conditions under which they endured for several years comes through as one tours the ruins.
Driving north through the Jordan Valley, one sees the agricultural miracles for which Israel is famed, turning wasteland into cornucopias. At Bet Shean, archeologists continue to rebuild one of the best preserved Roman cities.
Nearby is Belvoir, the last Crusader fortress to withstand the Moslems. Its importance then and now are some of the most commanding views in Israel over the best eastern-side N-S route.
Inside one of the famous small synagogues in Safat, an important site of Jewish studies especially during the Middle Ages. There, a few hundred desperate and underarmed Jews successfully resisted the Syrian army during the 1948 War Of Independence. Today it is a teeming arts and tourist center, where one can feel the crowded conditions of the former Jewish Quarter. There as elsewhere we encountered some of the groups of the 10,000 Jewish teens from North America traveling through Israel after their March Of The Living through Auschwitz.
At the Tiberias promenade, its restaurants famous for their St Peter's fish, for diversity of menu we dined at a Lebanese restaurant. The assortments were fantabulous. As we strolled after, we spent some time chatting with some Palestinian teens visiting from east Jerusalem. They offered to share with me their hookah, filled with dried apples soaked in nicotine. I allowed myself one small puff. Very sweet. So was a beautiful female member of their group who kissed Gavin goodbye. (Gavin ordered me not to show the photo or else his 2nd grade schoolmates might josh him for letting a girl kiss him.)
At Akko, the main Crusader port, we walked the walls of the fortress and explored the Knights halls. Here Gavin gets shot from one of the old cannons.
In Haifa, we toured the Ba'hai Gardens. At the base of the gorgeous gardens and shrine which climb the mountain is the German Colony neighborhood lined with restaurants and cafes on Ben Gurion Street, where we stayed at a modest hotel (usually catering to Ba'hai pilgrims) owned by a Christian Israeli-Arab. He and I discussed for over an hour the history and politics of the region. He is well-educated (with a son about to enter Haifa's Technion, one of the world's top technical universities), certainly anti-Zionist but not an apologist for the past and ongoing failures of the Palestinians and Arabs to build constructive societies. I wish the anti-Israel college student radicals on US campuses could have observed what is civil discussion.
Next, on to Caesarea and its marvel of Roman engineering, the aquaducts that carried water for tens, even hundreds, of miles. The large Roman amphitheatre is used now for concerts by modern musicians and singers.
The Diaspora Museum in Tel Aviv shows the lands, cultures, and conditions in which Jews lived all over the globe during the two millenia of dispersal from Israel. Fascinating. While there, as we were at the family-tree computers, we stood with others for the minute of sirens commemorating Memorial Day for Israel's fallen soldiers. When we end our Passover Seder with the words, "Next year in Jerusalem," that pledge held us together for almost two-thousand years while scattered, while physically apart but united in spirit and aspiration.
After, we spent the afternoon biking along the Tel Aviv seaside promenade, then on the beach and in the warm Med waters. Bikes were available at the hotel, and we went the length of the Tel Aviv promenade, which extends all the way to Jaffa, and on the trails in Yarakon Park. -- That night we watched the fireworks for Israel Independence Day.
The next morning we went to Jaffa, the continuously operating port for thousands of years. The modern fountain in the main square is of caricatures from the Zodiac. After, we watched the Israeli Air Force Independence Day airshow over the beach.
The seaside restaurants were excellent, even serving on to the beach. The breakfast buffets in the hotels are a sight to see, with a dozen Middle Eastern salads, eggs of various types (I highly recommend the Israeli version of huevos rancheros), fish and herring, numerous cereals, breads and breakfast cakes, a variety of cheeses and yogurts, and more, and more. The boys took full advantage of the plenty, and stuffed some in to the small refrigerators in our hotel rooms. -- The other daily meals were equally astounding and varied, the fresh diverse flavors and subtle seasonings subtly exploding in your mouth. Probably the most surprising was a kosher Chinese meal, Gavin suggested, that was one of the top ten Chinese meals I've ever had anywhere in the world!
The Palmach Museum is not to be missed. It takes the museum visitor through a series of rooms recreating scenes as it follows with films a group of teens joining the Palmach, ranging in age from 15-20 in 1941 through to 1948 in fighting to defend Jews and for Israel against the seemingly, and almost, overwhelming invading Arab armies in 1948. It certainly grasped Gavin's full attention. (In this photo, Jason is off talking with one of the young IDF soldiers on our tour.)
The newest member of our family is The Navigator Rooster. On our dashboard, with instructions telepathed to Jason as our 5-Star map and roadsign navigator, we thankfully never got lost. We will bring him along on our future trips.
In a break from family photos, the scene of the modest room in which David Ben Gurion declared the independence of Israel is iconic. In a sense, it is a family photo, because in the Jewish State of Israel, all our extended and dispersed Jewish family from around the world are welcomed, safe from persecution, able to defend themselves, and integrated in to constructive, free lives. My longtime friend, Barry Rubin, Middle East expert and columnist, took us on a walking tour of old Tel Aviv.
Here, we're outside the old Tel Aviv City Hall. We went in to see Mayor Ditzengoff's office, but also saw a large exhibit filling the place with startling gay art and photos. NSFW, or for children, so I rushed them out.
Before leaving for our flight back to the US, we had dinner with Barry Rubin and his delightfully inquisitive and bright son, about Jason's age. (The night before we had dinner with another old friend of mine whose lovely daughter is also about Jason's age.) -- For those who know rambunctious Gavin, not only was he well-behaved at the dinner tables but throughout the trip. Another Israeli miracle!
We went to many other sites during our visit, but the above covers most and is meant to express the richness of the experience for my sons, and through them for me. In short, everyone I've ever met who has traveled to Israel, from any nation or religion, comes away just blown away by the pluralism of peoples and faiths, all honored and accessibly highlighted. Beyond that, visitors are astounded that all that plus every climate and geography are contained in such a tiny country, which the bloody hard work and brilliance of Israelis has transformed from a desert wasteland to a garden of delicious and inventive innovation.

First, thank you for your service.
And thank you for this wonderful photo-essay.
How wonderful to take the boys on such a
journey. I lived in Israel for five years, in the
seventies, and didn't half of what you saw!
The March of the Living, yeah we sure hear a lot
about that. So thankful that history is being
kept alive (as in the IDF teachings, too) during our
current dark ages by imperial design.
God Bless you and yours.
Mazal Tov. Wonderful experience that your son will never forget, being bar-mitzvahed in Eretz Yisroel.
For all the problems Israel has and continues to have...I found it to be a place of joy and life and beauty and would echo what you wrote.
Bruce, love your contributions about Judaism...love this blog altogether, but just wanted to give a yashar koach for those posts, and again, a Mazal tov to you and your family.
Mazal Tov!
Sorry I was unable to meet up with you - but it looks like you had a great time, and I'm glad you got to hit a few of the spots I recommended.
Our tour backwards. I would like to go back and spend more time hiking a visiting the land.
Great photos and even better memories for your family. We went with a neighbor, an Arab Christian from Bethlehem who we sponsored to become a U.S. citizen. He wanted to celebrate the event with his elderly parents who couldn't take the long travel to the States and he kindly invited us to go with him.
The food was extraordinary thanks to the lush gardens and orchards plus plentiful fish. You certainly hit the high spots of such a journey.
Thank you for sharing this. The joy is evident in each picture. Congratulations!
Mazal Tov!
Wow - what a trip and what an experience for the boys.
I'm sure they will treasure it forever.
What a great essay, thank you for sharing your wonderful trip and your sons with us. Great photos too. I was raised in Cyprus so I know the Mediterranean Sea well, but how things have changed!

FedRAMP Is Finally 'Ramping Up' Its Program
FedRAMP | 2 Min Read
There has been a lot of talk the last couple of years regarding when the FedRAMP certification program for cloud computing products would officially go into effect for the federal government. A couple of weeks ago we finally started seeing signs of progress with The Department of Defense (DoD) announcing security approvals for 23 cloud providers. Additionally, the GSA has implemented a new SIN 132-40 for Cloud IT Services under the IT 70 schedule.
Dealing with FedRAMP
According to Terry Halvorsen, the chief information officer for the DoD, "The granting of these provisional authorizations is an important step in our strategy to drive cost down by moving more of our mission data to the cloud" (Serbu, 2015).
Make no bones about it, if your company is cloud based and wants to sell into the federal government, dealing with FIPS, FISMA and FedRAMP will be impossible to avoid. If you're reading about this for the first time, the good news is that you're not alone. I recently attended the RSA Cyber Security conference in San Francisco and I was surprised how little the companies out there knew about these requirements. They expressed a lot of interest in the government sector as a vertical, but a lot of education is still required.
The government certainly believes these regulations will be a major upgrade in their security efficiencies along with a significant cost savings initiative.
Benefits (FedRAMP, 2015)
- Increase re-use of existing security assessments across agencies
- Save significant cost, time, and resources – "do once, use many times"
- Improve real-time security visibility
- Provide a uniform approach to risk-based management
- Enhance transparency between government and Cloud Service Providers (CSPs)
- Improve the trustworthiness, reliability, consistency, and quality of the Federal security authorization process
Know Your Options
Below I've listed the different ways your company can go about becoming compliant with FedRAMP and the approximate approval process time.
- Self-submission: 15 months
- Third Party Assessment Organizations (3PAOs): 9-12 months
- Agency Sponsor: 4-6 months
- Partnering with companies authorized to operate cloud services for all or some federal agencies
How Much Does It Cost?
The most popular question that comes up in all of my discussions of FedRAMP is - How much does it cost? I wish I could provide a more definitive answer, but the truth is each company will have a customized engagement depending on several factors. What I can tell you is that the general range we've been hearing for the 3PAO process is $200-$250k.
FedRAMP by the Numbers
- 32 - Commercial companies that are FedRAMP certified to perform cloud based business with the federal government
- 38 – Accredited 3PAO's to perform independent testing to verify your company is meeting the standards set by the federal government
- 17 – Provisional authorized vendors to operate cloud services to the DHS, DOD and GSA
- 15 – Authorized vendors who have worked directly with a customer agency
Be on the Lookout
Winvale will be conducting an upcoming webinar later this summer dedicated to FedRAMP and we'llhave a guest 3PAO, Stephen King of COACT, to provide everyone an insider's perspective into the process.
If you want more information or would like to speak directly with me, I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 202-534-1755.

Step 1: Reassure readers that the situation "remains tense all along the front."
Step 2: Go on twitter.
Step 3: Find relevant details – body counts and inflammatory statements should take highest priority.

Step 7: Add a bit of speculation. It's ok so long as its attributed to an analyst who has the same amount of information as you. It does not matter whether or not the speculation will be used to further the propaganda of one regime or the other. (Updated*)

— ArtsakhPress Agency (@ArtsakhPress) April 3, 2016
Step 8: Wash yourself of any responsibility of spreading propaganda from either regime by stating plainly that both regimes are spreading 'unreliable information' – regardless if your article is helping them do so.
Step 9: Organize tweets accordingly, adding a few extra characters here and there when necessary.
Step 10: Publish and share widely.
For context read – 'Why everything about the way we report on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is wrong.'

*After some comments I wanted to make it clear that Thomas de Waal's blog post for Carnegie Moscow Center made it explicit at the time of his writing that speculation is pure guesswork. "This naturally leads to speculation about why the fighting should start at this particular moment. Any analysis of this is pure guesswork." The main issue is with the way that some picked up on the guesswork, and how speculation was ultimately translated into propaganda.

Welcome Andy White – Our new H.O.P Coach
Southpac International is proud to advise that Andy White has joined us as a H.O.P coach and senior consultant. Andy is an accomplished safety leader, Civil Engineer, Antarctican and postgraduate at Griffith University's Safety Science and Innovation Laboratory. Andy's wealth of experience in business improvement, training, and leadership, has been instrumental in the growth of many international organisations, whilst his use of dialogic approaches to transformational change reflect the future of human and organisational performance excellence.
"We are incredibly excited to have Andy White working with us. He will be an integral part of developing and supporting New Zealand's growing interest in the benefits that human and organisational performance [H.O.P] brings to organisations" said Andy Shone, CEO at Southpac Group.
Andy White will be based in Christchurch and has already been invited to present at several high profile events across New Zealand. Beginning later this month with the 2018 Safeguard National Health & Safety Conference in which he will be sharing his insights into the power of dialogic coaching.
"Having worked in a number of exciting, diverse and dynamic environments, I'm fascinated by stories of personal accomplishment in the face of adversity, difficulty and frustration; from the resilience of Antarctic researchers in complex and hostile conditions to the agility and resourcefulness of construction teams"
"We are supported each day by the innovative, adaptive and resilient acts of well-intentioned and hardworking people. It is our ethical responsibility to better understand their world. In doing so, we support them to achieve success in all aspects of human and organisational performance."
"There is growing excitement and enthusiasm amongst leading New Zealand businesses who are increasingly recognising the value and expertise of their people in all aspects of organisational performance. It's imperative for organisations to understand how to develop resilience from within, by incorporating improvements that work on a response philosophy of proactive, engaged learning teams. I see New Zealand business really adopting this philosophy strongly" said Andy White.
We are very excited by this new appointment and look forward to raising the bar on New Zealand's business management standards through the engagement of the H.O.P philosophy.
