International Moving Pickup Services
You can't rush moving overseas, but you can make it easier. You may have been planning your overseas move for quite some time now. If this is the case, you will already know that a move of this magnitude is a huge project. That's why it's important to have the international mover with the best pick up service all lined up and ready to go.
Allied International offers you the finest in international moving services. Our on-site pickup services and door-to-door delivery can take the stress out of moving overseas.
Moving to another country may be a dream come true. In most cases, you'll have to adapt to a new culture. It's easy to feel bewildered by foreign customs at first – even if you speak the language.
Even planning an international move can be overwhelming. There are so many logistical and administrative aspects to it. Stacks of forms and documents must be prepared, and some will have deadlines to meet before you can move forward. The number of unknowns can scare the daylights out of you! With the right international shipping company behind you, however, you'll find that many of these worries will melt away.

Overseas Move Pickup Services
Some overseas moves are more complicated than others. Maybe it's just you who is relocating internationally, or maybe it's your entire family. You might be moving your business or opening additional business overseas. Whether your move abroad involves one person or it is a major international relocation of several employees and their families, Allied International can meet your needs and your budget.
When you decide to make the overseas move there are some questions to ask yourself:
- Will your vehicles be going too? It may seem impossible for a family to make do with just one vehicle. Public transportation can be surprisingly convenient overseas, but it's worth investigating transportation well ahead of time.
- Will you leave, store or take your furniture? Details matter: we know that standard doorframes are smaller in certain foreign countries. Additionally, many apartments are located off tight spiral staircases that are a challenge for a king size mattress. Loaner furniture might be the simpler option for some items, or just buying new.
- Renting or selling? If you're relocating overseas, you will probably be selling your home. If not, you'll need someone to manage your property, even if it's being rented out.
- What about schools? There are international schools all over the world, but local educational systems can be a great way for your children to integrate. Whichever you choose, be prepared for administration covering anything from vaccinations to uniforms.
- What about your pets? Some countries accept only dogs and cats. Could your pet visit your country of origin afterwards? Some dog breeds are banned overseas, or extended periods of quarantine may be required. Medical records showing that your animal is up to date with shots, passports, and identity chips are becoming the norm.
- What's your destination area like? You'll probably know something about the country you're moving to, but you should also think local. Using the Internet to familiarize yourself with the street, town and region can help you prepare.
- Can you communicate with the locals? You may need to look into learning a new language. The earlier you start the better. Being able to say some key phrases that include introducing yourself, asking for help, and making polite conversation can boost your confidence and help you integrate into your new community.
- Is my license valid? You may need to get a driver's license issued by your adopted country.
- Where can I get cash? Checking opening hours in advance can save you a lot of waiting around. For instance, banks often close at lunchtime overseas.
- What about your cellphone? Will it work in a foreign country? Who's the best local provider? Will you need adapters to keep it charged?
- Is my identity safe? Protect your documents. Keep your own vital paperwork with you at all times when in transit. This includes passports, medical records, insurance, licenses, and birth and marriage certificates. Never put these in your checked baggage, but have them readily accessible.
- Am I prepared? Make contingency plans. Photos or scans of your documents kept in a secure online location and on an external storage device are incredibly useful in the event of a theft or emergency. They are also convenient when applying for driving licenses and other permits online.
If you are prepared for things to work differently in your new country, you will save yourself a lot of frustration. Having the best international pickup service will also make your move go more smoothly.
First of all, experts from Allied International will assess your household goods and determine the packing area required for international shipping. We will then present you with our quote and discuss the following options for shipping overseas.
Group Container Service
If your international shipment is not large enough for its own container, we will move your household goods to our warehouse, seal them and consolidate your shipment in one container with other clients going to the same destination. The group container service has two advantages. Firstly, a tightly packed container protects your goods – the less space there is for things to move around, the better. Secondly, we can pass the cost-savings on to you, making this the most economical service we offer. Because we are a global company this shipping method can take your belongings to just about anyplace on earth.
On-site Container Service
If your household goods can be stored in a 20 ft. or a 40 ft. container, we will deliver it to your residence. You can do the pre-shipping storage yourself if you like, but we strongly advise you to let our experts take charge. We've done this many times before and will make sure to label all your possessions correctly. Protective storage and packing is an art. You don't want any damaged items greeting you at your new overseas address.
Every time household goods are loaded and unloaded, the risk of lost or damaged items increases. With the on-site container service, your items will not leave the container until they arrive at your new home.
Preparing for a move overseas can be complicated. At Allied International we understand that even after extensive planning, actually getting there is half the battle. Letting us handle the 'big stuff' can make all the difference between a smooth transition to your new residence overseas and a haphazard one. Let us handle the logistics, and you'll be free to explore all that your new country has to offer.
With Allied International's air freight transport, your belongings will be delivered more quickly. It is recommend to use this method of shipping if you have time constraints for your move or would like to expedite the delivery of your items.
Allied International Overseas Shipping can provide a container shipping service that carries goods to any destination in the world. We can ship your household contents smoothly, allowing you to focus on settling your family into their new home overseas.
Moving even the smallest business overseas can be a huge undertaking. Careful planning is essential to prevent unnecessary stress. Hiring Allied International to organize the entire operation takes the heat off. It also allows the business to carry on running without affecting productivity.
We are your ultimate, one-stop-shop for all of your international storage and warehousing needs. We offer a wide range of options for storing your valuables. Whether you only have a few boxes or have heavy furniture or equipment, we can help you store your belongings in a safe and secure environment.

Verse of the day:
Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish. (Proverbs 18:13)
You've probably heard about the hoax that was played against KFC recently. A family alleged that a restaurant employee told a little girl that she needed to leave because of the scars on her face. People from across the country started boycotts of KFC and began to trash the company's reputation on social media. The family's claim against KFC has now been shown to be a lie and it's been interesting to watch people apologize for lashing out against the restaurant on their Facebook page.
It's never been easier to quickly air our opinions to the world thanks to the internet and this often leads people to make accusations that haven't been properly vetted. There have been times that I've been bothered by some news story and I'd love to make a rant online, but then I hear the still small voice of God tell me to be silent. That still, small voice has saved me much embarrassment and grief over the years. Let us be quick to listen and slow to speak.

Boogie Wonderland
The 70s totally got it right when it comes to middle parts, bell bottoms, and disco. I definitely channeled that vibe into this outfit. I love the burnt sienna color and giant bow on this vintage blouse. Paired with this rad denim mini dress, it could only be improved with the addition of my new Derek Lam Astor sunnies. The lavender shades are perfect to break up the monotony of my typically-all-black wardrobe.
I'm one of those people that has a love-hate relationship with the middle part (er, with my hair, in general). I love the way it looks on the off-duty Scandinavian goddesses of the world, but 9/10 times I try to train my hair to part that way, it turns into a sad
situation. Luckily, someone left a bottle of Aveda's
at my house, and that along with my beloved Agave
, has done wonders to tame my hair.

New Australian Experimental Electronic Releases from Drill Folly and Hollow Press
This month on Wood & Wire we're delivering new, experimental Australian music from two exceptional solo artists, Melbourne's Drill Folly and Hollow Press from Adelaide.
No Love Lost (WW15) is the debut release from electronic producer Sarah Phelan, under the name Drill Folly. Sarah has been making music for a number of years as a founding member of Melbourne's Tantrums, whose debut EP Anomie was released on New Weird Australia in 2010, featuring remixes from Collarbones & Worng. As part of Tantrums, Sarah has played live supporting Unkle, Mount Kimbie, Caribou, Four Tet, PVT, Xiu Xiu, My Disco, Jason Forrest and more.
This debut release is designed to be listened to on your own, in headphones. Sarah notes: "This is about expressing human emotion through machines. This is about therapy ... immersion ... escape ... about words being insufficient ... about trying to remember and remembering to forget. This is about not letting things sit on your hard drive until you die."
Beginning in early 2012, Adelaide's Hollow Press has been using drone, glitches, field recordings, voices and industrial sounds to create his work. His first two albums, Fleeting Joy and Between Us were released digitally and on CD by US label Drug Arts. A remix album of his work was released in early 2013 with reworks from The Atlas Room, Shisd, Delphine Coma, Amanda Schoepflin and more.
The third Hollow Press album in the span of a year, Heads in Dust (WW16) is a collection of blissful and at times unsettling songs - an abstract soundtrack to someone's innermost, darkest thoughts, as it drifts seamlessly though sonic atmospheres. Clearly Hollow Press loves the darker shades of experimentalism, exploring ambience, mingling sounds, wave-like-synths, bells, and distorted voices, resulting in a captivating and significant Australian experimental album.

New Experimental Electronic EP from Melbourne Solo Artist The Vainglories
Solace is the new EP from The Vainglories, the solo project of Melbourne artist Gillian Lever. Described as "lullabies for the nightmare-prone," Solace blends dark undercurrents with deceptively pretty melodies, shifting rhythms and synthetic textures.
Gillian has been writing as The Vainglories since 2003, creating scores for imaginary films. Whilst living in Melbourne she played in melodic pop band Tempted and electronica duo Sweet Violentine, and contributed music to theatre, live improvised comedy and (actual) short film. In 2007, she moved to Brighton in England and created a live performance set from The Vainglories' back catalogue of extraterrestrial lullabies, playing at celebrated Brighton venues such as Komedia and The Basement. Now based in Melbourne again, as The Vainglories she constantly struggles with the grammatical difficulties that arise from being a solo artist with a name more suited to a band. 'Solace' is her first release since 2010's 'Violets' and her debut release for Australian experimental netlabel, Wood & Wire.

New Compilation 'Western Schism' from New Weird Australia
New Weird Australia continues its series of excellent compilations, now turning a critical ear towards Perth to showcase some of the best experimental music-making happening on Australia's Western shore. Dig in and enjoy!
Western Schism is the second in our ad-hoc series of geo-specific compilations, featuring eighteen bands and artists from Perth in Western Australia.
The distance from Perth to Sydney (coast to coast) is only marginally less than the land mass span between L.A. and New York. Think for a moment on all the East Coast / West Coast paradigms that exist in American culture, and you can transplant some of that ideology down to Australia. Whilst we don't have competing hip hop crews as such (although there was a moment back in the day when drum'n'bass might have taken on that skirmish), each coast often exists in its own unique world, often oblivious to the actions of the other.
However, whilst L.A. artists might have opportunities to play to audiences in San Francisco, Las Vegas, San Diego or similar towns and cities along the coast, their Perth cousins have no such luck. Isolated from any other metropolis or cultural hub, the act of generating awareness, finding new fans or growing a career used to involve an expensive and lengthy hike to the West, to connect with the majority of Australia's population. Of course, that's old school thinking – the digital age affords artists the ability to transcend such barriers, and this compilation plays one small part in an ongoing, flag-waving awareness exercise for Perth's experimental music community.
The schism herein is as much geographical as it is artistic. These artists are outliers in both the literal and creative sense of the word – they celebrate their physical relationship with the world by amplifying it artistically. Distance need not be a tyranny – as is shown in this collection, it may in fact give us just the space we need to run free and get wild. (Stuart Buchanan / New Weird Australia)

Welcome Wood & Wire
Wood & Wire is a new digital record label, promoting experimentation in Australian music across all genres. Born of New Weird Australia, but existing separately from it, Wood & Wire launched in June with four free releases:
- 'Inter Alia' from Melbourne duo Peon, featuring Lloyd Swanton from The Necks
- the debut release from young experimental electronic producer, Emily Grantham, titled 'Chocolate Syrup'
- a complete remake of the reviled Lou Reed & Metallica album 'Lulu' from BOK Darklord (aka Buttress O'Kneel and Lucas Darklord)
- and the self-titled debut from Machine Death, featuring reknowned experimental artist Ben Byrne and Ivan Lisyak from The Paper Scissors.
Since then, they've already added two additional records:
-'Natural Living' from Regional Curse, a project by Stacey Wilson whose next album under her Rites Wild project will be released later this year on Not Not Fun
-the self-titled debut release of the 19-year-old, Canberra-based producer Felix Idle aka SHISD
The crew at Wood & Wire will be adding two new releases every month, so be sure to keep an eye on their label portal in the coming months as they continue to wow us with more great experimental music from Australia.

New Australian Psych - We Are After All Here
Last year, we shifted the focus of the New Weird Australia compilation series away from a free-for-all approach to something that would have a sharper curatorial focus. Something you could put handles around (so to speak). Something you could clearly identify as "a compilation about X or Y or Z". "We Are After All Here", volume eight in our compilation series, does have a theme and identity of sorts, but defining it becomes increasingly problematic. Let me explain:
Throughout 2009 and 2010, we were listening to a heap of bands and artists that were clearly starting to coalesce into some form of vague and abstract grouping. Either through sound, technique, image, a reverence for the past, or just a common, skewed take on a hauntalogical notion, there was a broad church emerging that would count these artists among their flock.
Fortunately, no one dared to define it. If you speak of the devil, he's sure to appear, thus keeping quiet and refusing to conform to definition worked well for all concerned. Having no such definition, and thus having artists co-opted or excluded based solely on the whims of the individual listener, was the perfect scenario.
But, of course, someone had to define it, and in doing so, they killed it. Hipster Runoff dropped 'chillwave', The Wire started talking about 'hypnogogic pop'. Then followed glo-fi, witch house, drag, screw gaze and so on and so on. (Our favourite remains 'crunk shoegaze' – meaningless, yet somehow quite endearing).
The list of artists lumped together under these various microgenres was often contradictory and bafflingly random – they were subsumed to the will of the writer, desperate to force round pegs into square holes. And once this grouping was anointed with such dubious definitions, the scrutiny began – spotlights were shone in all manner of places, and backlashes naturally came thereafter. The edifice soon crumbled.
We, on the other hand, are (after all) here – 'down under' – doing our own thing, far removed from such recklessness. We have our own obliquely connected and amoebic group of similar artists, remaining unaffected by trend, hype or weak stylistic interpretation. And it is to this group that we turn for this compilation. If, by virtue of their geography, they had birthed their projects in North America, they might well have all been raped and pillaged by now – raked over the blogeratti coals for their part in an ill-defined 'scene'.
Although our upside-down location can often be a curse, in this case it's a blessing – all these artists survived unscathed, their mission no more or less impossible, living another day to 'fight the good fight'. And we shall leave this group unnamed, for all our sakes. Suffice to say, it's another new, weird slice through the unsung underground of abnormal Australian music.

Brian Carver, a 34-year-old Amazon.com employee who is challenging Councilmember Richard Conlin, is listed as the Art of Living's Seattle contact on its website. He does not make a point of talking about that on the campaign trail, and the organization is not mentioned on his campaign site. But a review of disclosure documents filed with the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission indicates that of Carver's top 50 donors, at least 34 of them are members of the Art of Living.

From Ian:
Cuomo, Fighting Boycott Against Israel, Will Halt State Business With Groups That Back It
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York is planning to order agencies under his control to divest themselves of companies and organizations aligned with a Palestinian-backed boycott movement against Israel.
Wading into a delicate international issue, Mr. Cuomo will set executive-branch and other state agencies in opposition to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, or B.D.S., which has grown in popularity in some quarters of the United States and elsewhere, alarming Jewish leaders who fear its toll on Israel's international image and economy.
Several states have moved to support Israel and prevent their governments and agencies from doing business with companies or individuals that endorse the boycotts. Similar bills are currently pending in both houses of the New York Legislature.
But on Sunday, Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, intends to flex his executive power — a more familiar demonstration in the governor's second term — to expedite such action.
According to a draft version of an executive order obtained by The New York Times, Mr. Cuomo will command the commissioner of the Office of General Services to devise a list over the next six months of businesses and groups engaged in any "boycott, divestment or sanctions activity targeting Israel, either directly or through a parent or subsidiary."
((( How Twitter Is Teaming Up to Mess With the Nazis )))
Spend any time around prominent opinionated Jews on the Internet, particularly on platforms like Reddit or Twitter, and you're likely to encounter an odd anti-Semitic practice. White supremacists associated with the alt-right, many of them avid supporters of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, like to highlight Jewish users for targeting with parentheses: (((Rosenberg))), for example.
As Mic reported, the Internet's neo-Nazis even have their very own Chrome browser extension that automatically places these parentheses around Jewish names on web pages. But on social media, they typically add the symbols themselves to troll Jews and alert fellow bigots to a potential target. Mic's staff, for example, received these charming tweets singling out Jews on their team:
(((Echoes))), Exposed: The Secret Symbol Neo-Nazis Use to Target Jews Online
With a name like "Yair Rosenberg," I might as well be called Jewy McJewface on Twitter. As a result, I've been on the receiving end of this sort of treatment for years, long before Donald Trump entered the political fray. Likewise, The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg, being a Very Prominent Jew With Opinions on the Internet, has been a lightning rod for such abuse. So last night, he decided to preempt the neo-Nazis and put parentheses around his own Twitter username. It seemed like a good idea to me, so I tweeted this:
Then I went to bed. It turned out a lot of people—not just Jews—liked the idea. Some anonymous accounts even outed themselves as Jews to show solidarity. Muslims, Christians, and Hindus changed their names to show their support. As of now, hundreds of accounts have appropriated the Nazi symbols as their own.
It's worth noting that the internet's anti-Semites hate when their culture is appropriated by their opponents.
IsraellyCool: Proleptic Dhimmitude, Palestinianisation And A Bottle Of Beer
Some very big words used in this week's video.
Palestinianisation: this comes from the prophetic mind of Bat Ye'or. She started writing about what Europe would become back in the 1980's. And she's been proved right. Everything concerning Islam, going on in Europe today is predicted in her books going back more than 25 years. This interview is absolutely essential reading if you want to understand how Israel has become so hated.
Proleptic Dhimmitude: first you have to understand dhimmitude (which I've written about before) or you can understand it from Bat Ye'or. Then you have to understand the fairly obscure, but brilliant, word "proleptic" which comes from "prolepsis":
Rhetoric. the anticipation of possible objections in order to answer them in advance.
So this is submission to the rules of Islam by non-Muslims before one is actually living under a Muslim ruler. For instance judging that insulting the prophet of Islam or desecrating one of Islam's holy texts should be illegal so as to avoid "unpleasant consequences". That is "proleptic dhimmitude".
JPost Editorial: Jerusalem Day
In many ways, Jerusalem still suffers violence that did not end with the War of Independence, let alone the Six Day War. Under the 1947 UN Partition Plan, whose two-state solution was rejected by the Arabs, Jerusalem was to be an international city, neither exclusively Arab nor Jewish, for a trial period of 10 years, after which a referendum would be held by residents to determine which country to join, Jewish or Arab.
The Palestinian Authority is now insisting that one condition of a peace agreement is that the city be redivided, and east Jerusalem become the capital of a future Palestinian state. If that Partition Plan referendum were held today, most of Jerusalem's nearly 900,000 residents would opt for keeping it Israel's united capital.
It is well to remember that, immediately following the Six Day War, then-defense minister Moshe Dayan relinquished control over the heart of Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, to the Wakf, the Muslim religious trust. At the time, it seemed like a good idea. As Dayan stated: "We have returned to the holiest of our places, never to be parted from them again….
We did not come to conquer the sacred sites of others or to restrict their religious rights, but rather to ensure the integrity of the city and to live in it with others in fraternity."
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
In Israel's capital, the interface of the earthly and the heavenly moves on, sometimes veering in one direction or another. Jerusalem's physical and spiritual beauty is shared by Jews the world over who feel its presence, perhaps no more beautifully than under the wedding canopy, where building a home in Israel begins. The wedding blessing itself acknowledges that all Jewish weddings symbolically take place in Jerusalem, and reminds us never to forget it.
Few incidents as Jerusalem Day march passes through Muslim Quarter
An annual parade of Jewish Israelis through the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem passed with few incidents as tens of thousands waved Israeli flags under heavy guard Sunday to mark 49 years since the city's capture and unification in 1967.
Police deployed over 2,000 officers across Jerusalem on Sunday, amid fears that the nationalist demonstration could inflame tensions as it wound its way through the Muslim Quarter.
Raising the stakes even higher, this year's march came as Muslims prepare to begin observing the fasting month of Ramadan, when many Palestinians visit the flashpoint al-Aqsa Mosque in the Temple Mount compound in Jerusalem's Old City.
The so-called Jerusalem Day Flag March plans to pass through the Muslim Quarter of the Old City before arriving at the Western Wall, which is directly below the Temple Mount compound.
Damascus Gate and the route of the march have been the site of several attacks on Israeli civilians and security personnel since the outbreak of violence in September of last year.
US advises 'caution' for travelers in capital on Jerusalem Day
The US Consulate General Jerusalem on Saturday issued a security message cautioning against visiting the capital during Jerusalem Day Sunday and the corresponding Naksa Day, marked by Palestinians.
The consulate also warned its citizens about travel to the Old City of Jerusalem over the coming month, the Muslim festival of Ramadan.
The message, which was also posted to the US State Department consular affairs Facebook page, noted that Sunday is celebrated by Israelis as the day East Jerusalem — including the Old City and the Temple Mount — was captured during the 1967 Six Day War, placing the Temple Mount under Israeli control.
"The day is marked by ceremonies, and large gatherings, and a march through Jerusalem," the message said. "In previous years, clashes have erupted between Israeli and Palestinian residents during marches."
PA police push back protesters at Joseph's Tomb
Palestinian security forces managed to push back protesters who were advancing on the Joseph's Tomb shrine late Saturday.
According to Hebrew media reports, the protesters tried to set the site on fire.
The demonstration began Saturday night after the Palestinian Health Ministry reported that a wounded Palestinian teen, said to have been hurt by IDF fire on Thursday after allegedly trying to throw a firebomb at Jews praying at the site, had taken a turn for the worse in hospital.
After rumors spread through the city that Jamal Dawiqat, 20, of the nearby Balata Refugee Camp, had died, protesters took to the streets, setting tires on fire and clashing with PA police.
Palestinian forces surrounded the shrine and fired tear gas at the crowd, which soon dispersed.
There were no immediate reports of injuries from the clashes.
Secrets under the Al Aqsa Mosque
The current Mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Muhammed Ahmad Hussein, declared on October 25, 2015, that the Al-Aqsa Mosque was a mosque built on the site "3,000 years ago, and 30,000 years ago… since the creation of the world."
In his interview with Israel's Channel 2, the Mufti also insisted that there never was a Jewish Temple or shrine atop the Temple Mount.
Short History Lesson
Jews believe that the "foundation rock" beneath the Dome of the Rock is atop Mt. Moriah, the site of the binding of Isaac.
King Solomon built his Temple upon that rock in the tenth century before the Common Era (BCE), but it was destroyed in 587 BCE by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar. Seventy years later, the second Temple was built by Jews returning from Babylon with King Cyrus's blessing. Years later it was rededicated by the Maccabees in approximately 160 BCE after its defiling by the Seleucids.
In the first century BCE, the Second Temple, built by the returnees from Babylon, was rebuilt and massively expanded by King Herod. To accommodate the large Temple building and administrative offices, the Mt. Moriah plateau was expanded to become a colossal platform with huge retaining walls.
The Western Wall, the prayer site for Jews over the centuries, was part of the retaining walls. Roman armies commanded by Titus destroyed the Temple in 70 CE.
IN PICTURES: Jerusalem pre-Six Day War era and the British Mandate period
Have you ever wondered what Jerusalem looked like a century ago?
As Israel prepares to celebrate Jerusalem Day – which marks the reunification of the city – The National Library of Israel has shared with The Jerusalem Post photographs of the capital dating back to the pre-Six Day War era and the British Mandate period.
The annual national holiday commemorates the establishment of Israeli control over Jerusalem's Old City after the 1967 Six Day War, following 19 years of Jordanian rule.
The vintage pictures show Jews visiting the Western Wall and other sites in the city.
Jerusalem: The Media Myth of Two Cities
The history of Jerusalem did not start in 1967. Thousands of years of Jewish history took place in what is now called "Arab East Jerusalem."
Only when the Jewish residents were driven from their homes in 1948 was the city divided between East and West.
This video shows the reality of Jerusalem today and includes interviews from survivors of the fall of Jerusalem. To discuss the issue of Jerusalem, join our Facebook Group "The History of Jerusalem Did Not Start in 1967."
Defense Ministry releases new Six Day War testimonies by IDF generals
The IDF Archives in the Defense Ministry unveiled on Sunday new testimonies by military generals in the aftermath of the 1967 Six Day War, which shed new light on the concerns, frustrations, and assessments of IDF brass relating to the conflict that shapes Israel to this day.
The testimonies include lessons learned after the war, and major concerns held by generals on the eve of the conflict, including over the outcome of the battles, and the lack of faith they felt they had received from elected officials.
Testimonies by the former chief of staff Yitzhak Rabin, OC Southern Command David Elazar, OC Central Command Uzi Narkis, and OC Southern Command Yeshayahu Gavish were released by the archives.
Rabin was quoted as saying that one would "have to be stupid" not to realize the intentions of then Egyptian President Gamal Abdul Nasser after the threats that he made prior to hostilities breaking out.
Six Days of Miracles – Setting the Record Straight
Six Days of Miracles
An exciting and uplifting historic short movie, highlighting the miraculous events of the Six Day War, and emphasizing the Divine hand orchestrating these remarkable events from behind the scenes.
The movie is based on the book entitled "The Six-Day War Scroll".
The Mottle Wolfe Show: Yom Yerushalayim with Yossie Klein Halevi
Yossie Klein Halevi sits down with Mottle to discuss his book 'Like Dreamers'. The book Follows the lives of seven young members from the 55th Paratroopers Reserve Brigade, the unit responsible for restoring Jewish sovereignty to Jerusalem, Halevi reveals how this band of brothers played pivotal roles in shaping Israel's destiny long after their historic victory. While they worked together to reunite their country in 1967, these men harbored drastically different visions for Israel's future.
Alan Dershowitz: Sanders' Bigoted Appointees Endanger Clinton's Election
For many years now, support for Israel has been a rare point of bipartisan consensus in an increasingly polarized political climate. Bernie Sanders apparently seems determined to undermine that consensus.
Sanders has demonstrated a consistent bias against the nation state of the Jewish people and surrounded himself with foreign-policy "experts" who often describe Israel as an apartheid state, and have repeatedly accused the IDF of committing war crimes. Sanders has clearly absorbed some of this rhetoric, as demonstrated in a series of interviews last month, in which he grossly overstated the number of Palestinian civilian deaths in Operation Protective Edge, and accused Israel of using disproportionate force in response to Hamas' rocket attacks.
Following these statements, primary voters in New York and across the Northeast decisively rejected Sanders' candidacy, and effectively ensured that Hillary Clinton will be the next Democratic presidential nominee. But Sanders' efforts to end the Democratic Party's support for Israel may well endanger Clinton's prospects in the general election. Rather than modify or moderate his positions on Israel, Sanders now seems intent on remolding the Democratic Party to reflect the views of his most radical anti-Israel (and anti-American) supporters. Sanders apparently wants to use his newfound political clout to revise the language of the Democratic Party platform as regards the only true democracy in the Middle East.
Sanders claims that he wants Democrats to embrace a more "balanced approach" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but his appointment of James Zogby and Cornel West to the Democratic Platform Committee suggests anything but. Indeed, both Zogby and West are notorious for espousing policy positions that are extremely critical of Israel, and for using rhetoric that sometimes borders on antisemitic.
Abbas demands Jerusalem on 'Naksa Day'
Jerusalem Day on Sunday marks 49 years since Israel miraculously liberated eastern Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, Gaza and the Golan Heights against all the odds in the 1967 Six Day War – but Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairperson Mahmoud Abbas was busy mourning the day.
Abbas sent out a statement on "Naksa Day" as the Palestinian Arabs term it, with Naksa meaning setback in Arabic and indicating the "setback" as five Arab armies were unable to destroy Israel. The day is different than "Nakba Day," which marks the "catastrophe" when the Arab armies were unable to annihilate the fledgling renascent Jewish state in 1948.
"Our nation will in no way agree to anything less than a full end to the Israeli occupation which began in the June 1967 war," said Abbas in his Naksa Day statement as quoted by Channel 10.
The PA head elaborated his demand as including "the establishment of an independent sovereign Palestinian state whose capital is east Jerusalem on the '67 borders."
PreOccupiedTerritory: Left Insists Hezekiah Give Half Of Jerusalem To Assyrians (satire)
Leaders of the self-styled Peace Camp in the Kingdom of Judah are urging King Hezekiah to surrender half of the capital city to the Assyrian army under Sennacherib, palace sources are reporting.
Assyrian forces have begun to encamp around Jerusalem and lay siege to the city to force its surrender, and various figures on the political left are arguing that concessions to Sennacherib are the only way to resolve the conflict, including letting the Assyrians take control of large swaths of the Holy City.
The Assyrian expeditionary force has already captured the Northern Kingdom and exiled its populace to places unknown in Mesopotamia, and taken most of the southern kingdom of Judah, save for Jerusalem and several isolated outposts. Concessions proved useless in resolving the conflicts to date, but the leaders of the left believe Sennacherib and his troops will leave the Jews alone if they are given valuable parts of Jerusalem such as the Temple Mount, the City of David, and the Mount of Olives.
"We have defied the will of the international community for too long," insisted Ravshakeh Livni, who was once an adviser to the king but changed loyalties. "The king appears bent on ignoring what the Philistines, Emorites, Moabites, Canaanites, Arameans, and other regional powers through the ages have demanded. It is time to end the militarism and start negotiating. Maybe then they'll stop and we'll have peace once and for all."
Israelis raise NIS 1.3m to renovate disabled veteran's home
Israelis over the weekend raised NIS 1.3 million ($337,000) to make the home of an IDF veteran badly hurt in the 2014 Gaza war wheelchair-accessible, after the Defense Ministry denied him coverage because he lives in a West Bank settlement.
Yehuda Yitzhak HaYisraeli was critically injured in Gaza and remained in a coma for over a year. After nearly two years of hospitalization, HaYisraeli, who is married and has two children, was set to be discharged.
But citing its policy on construction in his settlement of Ofra, the Defense Ministry said it could not renovate the home, including building a ramp and a new housing unit, to accommodate his disability.
The right-wing My Israel organization last week set up a crowdfunding campaign to cover the construction costs, estimated at some NIS 600,000 ($155,000). Over the weekend, over 7,000 people donated, doubling the fundraising goal to hit NIS 1.3 million. Zionist Union leader Isaac Herzog also donated some NIS 1,000 ($259) to HaYisraeli.
In Visit to New York, IDF Soldier Who Survived Terror Attack Moved by Support of American Jews for Israel
An IDF soldier recovering from a Palestinian terror attack told The Algemeiner about the positive experiences she and fellow victims had while on a sponsored trip to the United States.
"The love my friends and I have received from the American Jewish community while visiting New York is beyond words," said Lee Strachman, 20, who was among a group of Israeli terror victims recently brought to the US by the Belev Echad organization, whose self-described mission is to "repay… the enormous debt of gratitude we owe the brave warriors [of Israel], through support and a whole lot of love."
Strachman, one of four Israeli Border Police wounded in a car-ramming attack near east Jerusalem on March 6, 2015, recounted the trauma. "We went out on patrol to secure the area because of the Purim holiday. A terrorist circled around us for two hours before ramming his car into me and my friends, where we were standing on the sidewalk," Lee recalled. "I flew very far and broke my knees, ankles, the bottom of my spine, my jaw and my head was split open. I had many other injuries over my entire body."
Strachman, who walks with the aid of crutches, spent three months recovering in the hospital and told The Algemeiner that "until today, I am doing daily rehabilitation, including a lot of physical therapy." In six weeks, she said, she will undergo her third major surgery. She will be operated on by surgeons from New York, who will travel to Israel specially for that purpose.
16-year-old Jerusalem bus bomb victim released from hospital
Eden Dadon, the 16-year-old who was seriously wounded in the number 12 bus line bombing in southeast Jerusalem this April, was finally released from Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital on Sunday in time for Jerusalem Day.
Upon her release from the hospital Dadon's medical status was classified as good, and she is now to start her rehabilitation process.
Dr. Eyal Hasidim of Hadassah's plastic surgery department said that Eden "arrived seven weeks ago with complex burns on a wide region of her upper and lower limbs and even on her face."
"She was on artificial respiration and put to sleep with anesthetics at the intensive care unit for several weeks, she was treated by the team with devotion due to the serious wounds. With the transfer to the plastic surgery department we focused on treatment of the burns, physical therapy and occupational therapy in order to heal her and return her vital mobility," said Hasidim.
The doctor predicted Dadon will successfully make a full recovery following her rehabilitation, adding, "she will be able to do everything in her life, whatever she chooses with no limitations."
State sentences Palestinian terrorist tackled by 'super' Mayor Barkat to 18 years
A 17-year-old Palestinian minor was sentenced to 18 years in prison on Sunday at the Jerusalem District Court for an attempted terror attack partially halted when the assailant was tackled by Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat.
The Jerusalem District Attorney's Office filed an indictment with the Jerusalem District Court Juvenile Division against the minor in March.
The Palestinian was videoed stabbing a 30-year-old haredi man at IDF Square in Jerusalem on February 22, before being subdued by Barkat.
Multiple spectators referred to Barkat as the "super" mayor following the incident.
The Palestinian's name is being kept under gag order since he is a minor.
The defendant was also indicted for separate counts of throwing Molotov cocktails, an improvised explosive pipe, firecrackers and stones at IDF soldiers near the Atarot checkpoint during the summer Gaza War.
PreOccupiedTerritory: IDF Cadet Pretty Sure He Missed Knife-Planting Portion Of Training (satire)
Private (First Class) Lior Amedi expressed near-certainty today that his basic training regimen for the combat unit he will soon join did not include the crucial component of planting knives near or on the persons of Palestinians who have been shot, to make it appear as if a stabbing attempt was made before the shots were fired.
The soldier, who will begin active duty with the Givati infantry brigade next week following his formal induction, conducted a careful review of his training with several comrades, and determined that none of them had been provided even the slightest instruction on knife-planting for use in covering up cold-blooded murder. Amedi shared his concerns that the training was not complete with two non-commissioned officers in the training corps, but was reassured that his unit's regimen followed the same rigorous, comprehensive process as all previous ones.
"I'm more than a little confused," confessed Amedi, 18. "I get my news from reliable sources such as Al-Arabiya, Al-Jazeera, Maan News, and other reputable Middle Eastern media outlets, and they've been consistently clear that the hundreds of Palestinians who have been shot in recent months by the IDF were innocent – that the Israeli military shoots first, then places a weapon in the vicinity of the victim's body to make it look like self-defense instead of execution. But I haven't received any training at all on such a procedure, which I've also been given to understand from the same sources that executing Palestinians and then framing them for terrorist acts – not necessarily in that order – constitutes the bulk of IDF activity. There's a serious lapse going on here."
Amedi dismissed the notion that such procedures do not exist. "The military has official procedures for everything," he noted. "If I'm going to be spending my time killing Palestinians and planting knives on or near them, I better be following correct procedure. A soldier can get in serious trouble for not following the proper guidelines."
Al-Aqsa Mosque congregant charged with helping Hamas
Prosecutors in Lod have filed charges against Omar Riyad Abd al-Razak Uda, a 21-year-old man from Qalansawe in central Israel, for contacting a foreign agent and providing services for an illegal organization.
According to the statements, Uda periodically visited the al-Aqsa Mosque, located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
On three occasions in 2015, he allegedly took part in actions organized by Hamas, which including yelling at Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount, helping reinforce the mosque while wearing a face mask, and throwing rocks at security forces trying to enter the mosque.
During the same year, Uda was in contact with a man in Gaza, even though he knew that the person in question was active in Hamas and the organization Al-Kutla al-Islamiya. Al-Kutla al-Islamiya is a branch of Hamas.
The terrorist asked Uda to photograph the al-Aqsa Mosque in order to publish the pictures on Al-Kutla al-Islamiya's Facebook page. He later asked Uda to take still photographs and videos of a rally in Umm al-Fahm. Uda did so and sent the files to the Gazan man over Whatsapp.
Hamas tunnels crisscross entire Gaza Strip, Israel says
Hamas operatives can travel throughout the Gaza Strip entirely underground using the terror group's extensive tunnel network, Israeli security forces said Sunday.
Information about the tunnel system came from the testimony of a 17-year-old Hamas member who was picked up by Israeli troops last month after he illegally crossed into Israel from Gaza, the Shin Bet security service said.
The underage operative "belonged to the Beit Lahiya Battalion" in the northern Gaza Strip and "most of his activity was in the field of tunnels," the security agency said in a statement.
Through his testimony, Israel learned "Hamas is working to construct tunnels that are linked to combat tunnels throughout the Gaza Strip," the Shin Bet said.
"Hamas has dug a extensive network for moving fighters around the Strip exclusively underground. This network of tunnels includes rest quarters for use by elite unites in time of emergency," the service said.
Gazans slam Hamas leader Haniyeh for painting life in Gaza as 'wonderful'
Relating to the 10-year Israeli-imposed blockade on Gaza, the senior Hamas leader said: "They will never push us to give up on our principles. The continuation of the siege amounts to a continuation of Palestinian steadfastness and resistance."
To many Gazans who are suffering from growing economic distress and dire humanitarian conditions, Haniyeh's description of life in Gaza sounded like a pipe dream.
Thus, a group of Gazan activists launched an anti-Hamas campaign on Twitter under the hashtag "#WhatIsWonderful?"
A Twitter user named Hussein from Gaza wrote: "Wonderful is a planet Haniyeh and his people are living on, disconnected from the Palestinian people."
Another Gazan citizen, Tareq Farra, posted to social media saying: "Ismail Haniyeh said that life in Gaza is wonderful, ignoring all the problems of poverty and unemployment."
John Pilger in the Guardian: "Killing children seems like sport for the IDF"
John Pilger is an Australian-based Guardian contributor who's arguably one of the most vociferous demonizers of the Jewish state given a platform in the mainstream media. He's suggested that Hezbollah represented "humanity at its noblest", approvingly cited the arguments of Gilad Atzmon, has suggested that 'influential' Jews around the world are culpable in 'Israeli crimes' and has likened Israel's treatment of the Palestinians to the Nazi's treatment of the Jews.
According to Pilger "the Zionist state remains the cause of more regional grievance and sheer terror than all the Muslim states combined."
Yet, despite Pilger's record of extremism and antisemitism, Guardian editors saw fit to offer readers a live 'web chat' with him earlier in the year.
During the web chat (published in Feb. 2016, but which we only recently became aware of), he offered the following "analysis" in response to a question about the putatively high number of Palestinian children killed by "IOF" soldiers.
'Fire up the oven': Neo-Nazis target Jewish candidate in California
Erin Schrode, 25, is hoping to become the Democratic candidate for Congress from California's second district after the state's Democratic primary this week.
Schrode is also Jewish.
This week, she says, she has seen a torrent of anti-Semitic abuse hurled at her online in a coordinated campaign on a neo-Nazi blog that has backed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The attacks reflect "more and more anti-Semitism this election cycle," Schrode told BuzzFeed.
Late Saturday, she posted on Facebook some of the vitriol she has received.
Israel's universities go global
On June 16, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and other dignitaries will break ground for the 12-acre campus of Cornell Tech, a joint program launched in 2013 by the Ivy League university and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa.
Last December, on the other side of the world, the Technion broke ground for the Guangdong Technion Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT) in Shantou, China, planned to accommodate 4,000 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students in engineering and science as well as a high-tech park for Israeli and Chinese companies.
These revolutionary partnerships are significant indicators of the growing involvement of Israeli academia abroad. Most of Israel's nine universities have joint programs in other countries, ranging from student-faculty exchanges and research projects to brick-and-mortar institutes.
Research collaborations between individuals in Israeli and overseas universities have been flourishing for decades. However, institutional collaborations are a newer phenomenon, says Liat Maoz, deputy director-general for policy and research at Israel's Council for Higher Education (CHE).
With eye on Arab Israelis, Microsoft launches Nazareth R&D center
Twenty five years after Microsoft launched its first foreign R&D center in Israel, the tech giant on Thursday officially opened its latest research and development facility in the northern city of Nazareth.
"The new site is an additional step in our efforts to integrate Arab engineers in our development enterprise in Israel, and to deepen our activities in the country's north," said Microsoft Israel CEO Yoram Yaacovi.
Israel's Arab population were a source of untapped potential, he continued, noting that they comprise 25% of the Technion's computer science graduates each year, but that only a tenth of those graduates end up working in the industry.
"We're striving to ensure that the number of Arab engineers we employ is will be close to their relative share of the population," Yaacovi said.
Microsoft's other R&D centers in Haifa and Hertzliya employ roughly 1,000 engineers and researchers specializing in cloud, business intelligence, big data and personalization, the same fields of focus expected for the new facility. At first, only some 30-50 people will be employed there.
Alternative rock band Garbage headed to Israel
The alternative rock band Garbage, which famously performed the title song for the James Bond movie "The World is Not Enough," is booked to play in Israel in August.
The American-Scottish group will play at the Rishon Lezion Amphitheater on August 16.
Early tickets are expected to cost NIS 269 ($70).
It will be the second performance in Israel for Scottish vocalist Shirley Manson and her American co-band members Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, and Butch Vig. The group last played in Tel Aviv in June 1999 as part of its Version 2.0 world tour.
Garbage was formed in Wisconsin in 1994 and launched its first album, the eponymous "Garbage," in 1995, selling over four million copies.
Thousands attend memorial for Ethiopian Jews who died on the way to Israel
More than 3,000 turned out for an the annual ceremony memorializing Jews who died on the way to Israel from Ethiopian. Between 1984 and 1985 around 8,000 Jews came to Israel, mostly via the Sudan from Ethiopia; 4,000 perished on the journey.
In 2007 a monument was erected on Mount Herzl to commemorate the fallen and in 2011 the Knesset passed a resolution making the memorial an annual event that is held on Jerusalem Day.
Thousands journeyed from across the country this year for the morning ceremonies where political leaders and Ethiopian Jewish dignitaries gave blessings and speeches.
President Reuven Rivlin spoke about the many challenges olim faced in integrating into Israeli society. He noted that Jerusalem was a fitting place to commemorate these events because it is a diverse city for all.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referenced the suffering Jews went through on the journey and the sacrifice it entailed. He noted that the government is working to alleviate discrimination, an issue that has been in the media since last years anti-racism protests in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Swedish nurse who saved Jews gets sainthood
A Swedish nurse who converted to Catholicism and helped dozens of Jews during the Holocaust was made a saint on Sunday, Sweden's first in six centuries.
Pope Francis canonized Mary Elizabeth Hesselblad at a ceremony in Saint Peter's Square that took place just a few months before he is due to visit Sweden, a largely secular country.
She had been beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2000 after a 30-year campaign.
Hesselblad is only the second Swede to receive sainthood, following Saint Bridget 625 years ago.
She reportedly saved more than 60 Jews during World War II, hiding families inside her convent in Rome for about six months before the war ended.
Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust remembrance center, recognized her actions when it honored her as one of the Righteous Among the Nations in 2004, an award bestowed upon non-Jews who helped Jews during the Holocaust.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.

Web Television: How To Make it Your Career
Web television is a service that is distributed strictly through the Internet. There are several different services that play in Australia, the US, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. It is possible to choose the different programs that have been archived. These shows can then be streamed directly to a media player or downloaded to the computer. In general, most Internet TV has high demand at about 10p.m. at night. These programs are available in many different formats so they can be viewed on many different types of devices.
Step 1 - Major
The first step is to pick the appropriate major. While you do not necessarily need to major in communications or broadcast journalism, this can get your career started faster than a major in liberal arts. It is also possible to focus on the media or advertising side of Internet television or the technical side as software development and technical support will be needed. All those positions required for regular television will in some way be used for Internet television, such as editing, producing, and more.
Step 2 - College
If Internet television is your chosen field then see about attending classes at a university or college that specializes in television and media. Learning as much as possible about the entire process of shooting or producing can give you a great grasp of what is needed. There are many colleges that have programs specifically for film and televisions. If this is a later in life switch then a degree is not necessary though taking some courses can help you learn what is available and what is needed in each type of position.
Step 3 - Computer Skills
Being an advanced computer user is a huge help when dealing with anything online. A lot of the jobs for Internet television are monitoring the programs and troubleshooting issues that may arise. There are storage issues, maintenance, and additional post production support. Having advanced knowledge of Linux and Unix, understanding video encoding, experience in content delivery networks, and dealing with security software will be needed.
Step 4 - Internships
Getting some experience is the best way to start your career. On summer holidays or over school breaks see about interning with a movie or television company. Production managers have the same responsibilities for any type of television including Internet TV. Most companies will have interns so find one that is in the television field you want to work in.
Step 5 - Companies that Are Hiring
In order to work in Internet television you will need to research the different companies. Joost is a large company that has recently expanded to broadcast CNN among other programs through a new distribution agreement. In the United States the main Internet television providers are Revision3 and Hulu. Ireland has RTE Player, Australia, Australia Live TV, and the United Kingdom has Demand Five, ITV Player, 4oD, BBC iPlayer, and SeeSaw.
Step 6 - In the Company
You may not be able to find a job opening in the exact position you want. If this is not possible, then look for something related. Most companies will offer positions to employees first before posting them online. It is much easier to transfer to a different position within the company once you are already in.

The work of a General Manager is easy to criticize, yet hard to fully quantify. Team owners are like dragons sleeping on their hoard of gold coins and other priceless treasures. Coaches want to build winning resumes. Players want to get paid. The GM has to be the go-between that gets all these parties (with differing motivations) on the same page. The GM has to get a coach the players he needs to win. The players want the promises they need before signing on the dotted line (salary, role, playing time, etc). And for the team owner, well, the GM has to placate this obstacle on a near daily basis and convince the owners not to devourer the GM on sight -- while suggesting that parting with part of their hoard (on the 1st and 15th of each month) is the smart thing to do.
At times the NBA can be distilled to purer components, of winning and losing, and of the honesty of the game. Yet, at other times the NBA can expand into a complex juggling act more akin to micromanagement in a strategy game, or a RTS click-fest. For players, the game is the game. It's simple in that way, and relies on skill, speed and quick reflexes -- a Video Game analogy would be the first person shooter. For coaches, it's series of complex decisions, not unlike the original turn based strategy game called "Chess". (you may have heard of it) The GM, though, has to delve into the previously mentioned RTS click-fest:
|But instead, imagine dealing with salaries, egos, scouts, coaches,
players and injuries . . . also less cannons, probably . . .
*Ahem* Back to the point . . . a GM's job is rarely done perfectly because of how difficult it tends to be. Some GM's are great talent evaluators (for example, there's Isiah Thomas, just look at the player's he has drafted in his career, most of them have been All-Stars or award winners in some regard: Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Marcus Camby, Damon Stoudamire, David Lee, and so on) but poor on other sides of their job description. Other GM's have good connections with other teams, and always seem to do business with them (look at Kevin O'Connor and all the deals he has made with Philly over the years). Some GM's are really good with managing money, while others are known for turning things around in short order. At the end of the day, though, the GM is a salesman. He is essentially selling his services to a consumer -- in this case the team owner. Part of sales is to buy low and sell high. Another part of sales is to be consciously deceptive in just what your wares are. That last part does not really apply fully to the GM - Team Owner relationship, but rather to the GM to GM relationship. Sometimes you get a lemon, but you have to pass it off as a safe family sedan. Other times you (as the GM) are working not against the team owner, the other GM's, but the actual assets -- the players and their agents.
You want to keep a good player on your team for the least amount of money it's going to take to keep him there. All Team Owners expect the GM to be able to do such a thing. This part of the job ties in directly with the buy low/sell high and deceptive doctrines. If the first step is acquiring a player (via a Trade, Free Agency or the Draft), then the next step is evaluating that player (though, we hope that some evaluations have taken place before the player is traded for/signed/drafted). The next logical step would be to give playing time to that player and develop him. The last step? Making a decision on that guy -- sign him again when his contract expires, trade him, or let him walk. Parts of the last step depend greatly on each of the previous steps.
- For example, say the team acquires player A. They evaluate him, see some things they like, some things he needs to improve on, and play him accordingly. He either gets better or worse. If he does well, he becomes more valuable to the team -- and more valuable as a player. His asking price may go up, and making the last step (in this case: deciding to keep him) harder to do. An example of this Jazz fans may be familiar with would be All-Star Mo Williams.
- Player B, on the other hand, does not appear to have much upside, does not make the most of his chances on the court, and is not in the future plans of the team. They can get rid of him in a variety of ways, the team's disinterest in retaining him opens up options for his removal. An example of this Jazz fans may be familiar with would be Kris Humphries.
It's not always this simple, though.
- What about Player C . . . the team that drafts him knows him best, and knows that there is hidden potential deep inside. If they go about normally giving him playing time, allow him to develop openly (instead of only during closed practices and workouts with the team), then other GM's may wish to pry him away. Even if the original team wishes to keep him, retaining him may become very difficult as the exposure led to quicker development, which led to a greater player value. This would be repeating the same mistake with Player A all over again. What if, instead, the team decides to develop him secretly, give him less exposure, drive his asking price down, remove interest other GMs would have in him, and basically, keep him on the "down low".
This is pretty much the only way to retain those people that you think *can* blow up (in a good way), without having to give them a lot of money to make them stay. Deron Williams deserves the contract he got. It's an expensive contract though. Some teams are forced to over-pay to retain their talent (don't need to look farther than a young, uninjured Andrei Kirilenko half a decade ago). In general, you want to avoid doing that. If anything, I think we can clearly place the curious case of C.J. Miles as an example of a Player C scenario.
At the end of C.J.'s first season he was getting more playing time, and in the last game of the season he played really well. How well? 23 points (8/13 fg, 2/5 3pt, 5/8 ft), 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal -- as a rookie with extend playing time playing against a tough Western Conference team. Every off-season since then there have been fishy things going on. He was a consistent no-show in future summer leagues, but instead opted to work on his game by himself. During times of injury he would be pressed into the starting line-up, only to return to the end of the bench only a few days later. C.J. should have played more than he did in when he was on his rookie contract. The clock struck 12 on C.J.'s contract though, and the Jazz simply put themselves in a situation to match whatever contract someone threw his way by virtue of him being a restricted free agent. No one really bit, not knowing what they would be getting . . . until Oklahoma City offered him a 4 year $15 million dollar contract. We all know how that story ended, as the Jazz eventually matched. Was $3.75 million per season too much for C.J. Miles? Perhaps . . . but at the same time, it's a lot less than it could have been had C.J. been playing like he is now at this time last season. (or perhaps, getting the playing time that he is getting now at this time last season) Back then I thought the Jazz were (in chronological order) a) not developing C.J. enough, b) using him only for spot duty, c) giving his playing time to guys who did not deserve it.
This season Ceejay has been everything from a solid deep threat, a versatile 2nd option on offense, to invisible . . . sometimes all in the same week. This is his 4th season in the league, and his first where he has averaged over 11.5 mpg. I'm sure he would be better, more seasoned player than he currently is if he was playing 20 mpg every season after his rookie campaign. I'm also pretty sure that he wouldn't be on the Jazz then. In effect, one could directly point to a systematic way in which the Jazz brass (Sloan and O'Connor mostly) lowered interest in a prospect, sequestered him from exposure (he only got one short stint in the NBA DL), yet did not develop him for fear of losing him. At the end of the day the Jazz have C.J., but not the C.J. he could be right now, and C.J. is not earning as much as he perhaps thought he would be after his rookie contract expired.
The Jazz financial situation is horrible right now. If it does not improve shortly than there may be a few more Player A type situations in the future with key contributors Paul Millsap and Ronnie Brewer. The Jazz would love to keep them for reasonable contracts, though their development (and production) have elicited quite a bit of exposure. Good for their bank accounts, perhaps not so great for the Jazz.
That's where the micromanagement comes back into play. You want your players to be good, productive and develop . . . but you do not want to lose them to other teams after you put in all the hard work to make them useful. Gilbert Arenas comes to mind, he was drafted, developed, and then left to get paid in free agency. Right now the Jazz are playing the "front office subterfuge game" with some other young players that could possibly be helping the Jazz right now.
Morris Almond: He is a scorer's scorer, who despite having limited quickness and has played defense only once in his life, could be doing a whole lot more for this Jazz team. He's looked horrible in his rookie season with the Jazz where he never got to be involved in the plays that the regular rotation run that get swingmen easy buckets. He didn't play a minute with Deron Williams last year, and was relegated to garbage time spot up shooting from the corner. Reason for not getting playing time: He's behind a few key guys on the depth chart and doesn't rebound or defend as well as others. For some reason this has prevented him from playing one single second in the NBA-DL this season. Something fishy: Why hasn't he played in the D-League at all this season then, if there's no space for him on our current roster? Do the Jazz know that he's a raw gem that only seems to look better when he gets to play? Utah is healthy now, so there's no real risk to put him in the game at all . . . maybe practice with the Jazz is better than games with the Flash? Or maybe they don't want him to get too much exposure right now? Utah has opted not to extend his contract, so seemingly he is out . . . but maybe they are trying to keep his going rate low so that they *can* still have a shot at retaining him for a while. After all, they scouted him, interviewed him, drafted him, are developing him . . . Harpring's contract expires next year, and the Jazz will need a wing player who can come off that Harpring curl and hit the mid-range jumper. Financial situation aside, that sounds like something the Jazz have in their laps right now with Almond. Alas, this is exactly not the contract type of year a young player wants to have (being buried on the bench). Co-incidentally, this is exactly the type of contract year the Jazz would want him to have . . . after all, they did the same thing with Ceejay, they know what they are doing.
Kyrylo Fesenko: Very large man (7'1, 300+ lbs.) with the same wingspan and standing reach as Greg Oden -- yet uninjured and a capable passer and interior defender who has, due to injuries, been pressed into defending the likes of Yao Ming to Andrew Bynum . . . and done so well. Very likely that he is more talented than the guy ahead of him on the depth chart (Jarron Collins), but lacks experience, familiarity with the system and seasoning. Reason for not getting playing time: Work ethic and personality appear to anchor this man to the bench, though at some level talent and ability should trump that. Something fishy: As a rookie, this wet behind the ears, 2nd round draft pick center joined the Jazz and played in 70 games, and played over 20 mpg. This player joined a playoff team that was contending for a championship. This player had no experience with the Jazz system prior (as a rookie) and ended up getting playing time over a limited, soft center who had much more experience in the system. This young player was Jarron Collins. What, did you think I was talking about Fesenko? Heck no, Fesenko has played only 200 minutes with the Jazz in his 2 year career, let alone played in 70 (@ 20 per) as a rookie. Why is there such a disparity between Collins' and Fesenko's early careers? I don't know, but it seems kind of fishy to me. Even more fishy is that Fes only had one stint in the NBA-DL this season (8 games), promptly did exactly what we'd want him to do (be a defensive presence who rebounded, blocked and changed shots, shot a high percentage and eventually was averaging a double double) . . . and was called back and never played again. Ever. Hmmmm . . . he improves, shows that he's good at what he does . . . and can be a free agent this season . . . 'need to reel that big boy in, and hide him somewhere!' (which was the original plan with drafting a little known, poorly scouted player from a minor European league in the first place) More so than Almond, I think that Fesenko has a future with the Jazz, or at the very least, in the NBA somewhere as teams always want size, and if the guy is talented, he's going to get a contract somewhere. If you gave him the playing time, I'm pretty sure that he'd be able to get Rookie Millsap type of numbers for sure.
Paul Millsap: Speaking of the 'Sap, he got some great exposure this season. He produced as a starter due to injuries to Carlos Boozer. He's a free agent, and he's going to get paid this off-season. No doubt about it. Interestingly enough, at the first whiff of a hobbled, rusty Carlos Boozer the Jazz sent 'Sap back to the bench and as his fantasy owners know firsthand, 'Sap just hasn't been the same since. Reason for being sent to the bench: Boozer was the starter before he got injured, the Jazz/Sloan doctrine on this is that you cannot lose your starting job due to injury. Something fishy: No one said anything about a starting job, but just let Paul start the first 4-5 games after Boozer comes back and then let Boozer slowly work his way back into playing shape, and then give Boozer the starting spot. A lot of teams do this, they bring a starter back from injury on the bench just to test things out a bit. Out of all of my conspiracies, this is among the weakest -- though I don't see why the Jazz didn't keep starting Millsap for 4 games while Boozer (who was playing limited minutes) worked his way back into starting shape. For one thing, this almost looks like a directed attempt to reduce Millsap's exposure (for the open market). It's probably not, but it just looks fishy -- during a contract year, no less.
Kosta Koufos: Let's just say that if this 19 year old was playing Brook Lopez type of minutes on a bad team we'd see Brook Lopez-ish production out of Kosta. Yet, a guy who is clearly more talented than Collins, and is a very hard worker (much more than Fesenko has shown), is completely lost on this team. Kosta isn't on the active roster right now, isn't playing in the development league, and isn't developing. Reason for not getting playing time: Apparently he doesn't know the plays. Sure, he's a smart shot blocking 7 footer who has a nice offensive game AND is a very hard worker who hustles . . . but he's not going to get to play because by playing him he would then be in a position to actually learn the plays, and then we would have even less of an excuse for why he isn't playing. He's almost a gestalt character that takes the size (mostly) and shot blocking of Fess, with the hustle and work ethic of Collins . . . and gets none of the playing time that he should. Something fishy: There is no good reason not to play this guy, develop him with real NBA minutes, or even send him to the NBA D-League for some in game action. He hasn't seen the developmental league at all in his career, instead getting better by wearing suits next to Carlos Boozer for 50+ games. That's another thing, he got some very minor playing time just because of injuries . . . this season was a prime season to be forced into playing and developing younger talent. Sloan had to work many games without being able to call on veteran bigmen . . . but still he elected to instead play Matt Harpring at power forward. Huh?
It's not that difficult to imagine that the Jazz are hurting their futures by risking not getting these guys playing time because they do not want to lose them to other teams . . . but they also get nothing out of these guys. Other teams play younger players during the regular season so that they may become contributors to that team . . . and even help them in the playoffs. Heck, our team did this with Paul Millsap as a rookie, or Shandon Anderson (more on him later), or Bryon Russell and a host of others. There's no doubt in my mind that if Fess of Kosta were getting 12-15 mpg this season that one of them would be able to contribute in the playoffs for us. Instead the development time has become much longer for a bunch of guys who could be helping us now. Also, it's not that difficult to imagine that the Jazz are hurting the values of their players by flat out burying them during contract years. No playing time = no exposure and no stats = bargain prices. They did this with C.J., and if they had a time machine, would probably like to do so with others as well.
The way that the Jazz develop talent seems to be highly unequal. Some young guys get regular burn, while others don't. This time is directly proportional towards development. I think that Jazz Brass feel the financial side to all of this needs to take precedence over the immediate development and returns from the players on the roster. The Jazz gave good minutes to a solid player (Shandon Anderson) as a rookie, and eventually left the team, the Jazz get nothing in the long term for it. The Jazz gave good minutes to a very talented player (Andrei Kirilenko), and end up having to really over-pay to keep him on the team. The Jazz don't want to get into anything like that again, and now underplay most guys during the span of their rookie contracts, so they they do not have to over-pay.
C.J., only after the Jazz matched an offer he got from another team, is finally getting playing time -- but as a 4th year guard with the potential that he had when he was drafted, he is behind where he should be. They seem to be guilty of doing that with Almond and Fesenko by not playing them in the NBA, nor allowing them to rack up stats in the D-League . . . which would have been a great way to audition for other teams during contract years -- or you know, actually get better and be able to help OUR team.
Some Jazz apologists feel like the practices the Jazz have are of greater value to a younger player than actually playing in the development league, or even playing in the NBA on poorer quality teams. I think that this is a very haughty thing to say . . . especially with how closely the Jazz *can* keep an eye on things with their development team being only a few miles away and the coach of that team is related to Jerry Sloan -- it almost seems like a no-brainer to send the kids down at least once each when none of them are even on the active roster with the Jazz. They threw C.J. a bone once by doing that, by giving him a chance to play, and that improved his morale. Why not do the same for a younger player this season? Sloan even goes out to harp on how great the D-League is, and how he wishes they had that when he first came into the league. If it's so great, why not use it, now that the rest of the guys are healthy?
As for how great the Jazz practices are . . . they rarely get a chance to practice on the road (they only practice on days off, and now at the end of the season, with the playoffs coming up, there may be less than the regular number of practices on off-days), so the younglings are getting even less time to improve than normal. This clearly is the case where the GM, at the behest of saving the team owner money, works with the coaches to screw the players out of money / job satisfaction. Or maybe that's by design, especially in their contract years?

Helix Streams Webinar Q&A
You Want Answers? I Want the Truth!
At Perforce, we're pretty sure you can handle the truth.
Fresh off our latest Helix Streams Webinar, Streams Revisited, I covered how users leverage the Helix Visual Client (P4V) stream technology to optimize their workspace clients, enhance branch/merge operations, and add component-based design efficiency.
And I'm proud to report the webinar was a rousing success, with lots of questions along the way. So much so, I wanted to run through a few queries now.
Want to learn more about the agility and stability of Helix Streams following the read? You can still catch the webinar recording on-demand. If you already have your answers, download our latest update, Helix Visual Client (P4V) 2017.1. Still have questions? Contact us and we'll get back to you right away.
So, without further ado, and in no particular order, our collection of questions from webinar attendees:
Does Perforce offer private/local commits?
Great question. Yes. Perforce does.
Streams has three ways it can make this happen –- which one you use will depend on your specific workflows.
First, shelves can be used for private commits, except we wouldn't technically call it a commit, but rather saving a state on your workspace. Shelving enables you to store copies of open files temporarily in the shared Perforce repo without checking them in, which is perfect for taking and restoring snapshots of in-progress work and reviewing code before check in.
Second, the task branching available with Helix Streams, where you create a child code line from a parent, can be used for that purpose. However, your commits won't be visible until they are propagated upstream.
Lastly, with Helix DVCS functionality, you can take a task stream offline, make local commits, and then push them back. Voilà!
Where can I find more information on how to utilize virtual streams for widening the included assets in a stream?
The import feature with Helix widens the stream.
Here's a link to documentation on our import feature.
How can virtual streams help in Component Based Development?
Virtual streams can help in two ways, and they each are dependent on where your components are housed:
Option 1: If all the components live in one stream, then virtual streams are used to split out an individual component or a subset of components. This follows the "Product is King" principle: one product, many specific components of that product
Option 2: If all components have their separate mainline, then "Components are King." Virtual streams can be used to test out a set of components or create the product out of the main code and selected product components.
Does Helix restrict the number of streams or complexity of workflow?
Helix does not apply any physical restrictions on the number of streams
That said, for the sanity of your product managers, team leads, etc., it might make sense to split them over several stream depots for organizational purposes. But Helix offers the performance measures that cater to your workspace preferences.
Is there a way of "archiving" old streams to remove them from the Streams View?
Absolutely. The spec depot, which creates an indelible historical marker of whatever stream spec you choose. Once you have both a versioned stream and the stream history, simply delete the stream spec.
The underlying data is now preserved. To bring the stream back again, simply recreate the stream from the spec depot. Take note, you cannot reuse the same stream name, so it behooves you to follow a sensible naming convention.
We are currently using a standard depot for our development. Is there a way of converting our existing depot to a stream depot?
It's easier to branch existing code into the new stream structure because you can follow the old history across the integrations. Streams are more about the future -- where should I put my code, how does it flow to other streams -- than about the past.
Do you have any webinars that show a practical example of streams, please?
Yes. Please check out our additional resources on the website. If your questions aren't answered from our resources, let us know what you'd like to see.
We're always looking for other engaging webinar topics; we're also available for customer consultations.
Any plans for Swarm to support task streams?
Swarm does support task streams for reviewing committed work. However, by the nature of task streams, all uncommitted work is hidden.
The thinking behind task streams is to offer developers an independent workspace where they can complete work independently. Following that, you create a review for the integration once more into the backing stream.
How do developers using development streams that share mainline path preferences know when the mainline path preferences have been updated? How do they know to select "Get the latest revision"?
Generally, I would advise using the P4V Dashboard to keep track of changes you need to sync to your workspace.
I may be understanding your question in two ways, so I hope one of them is your query.
If this is: How do I know when my parent stream is updated? The stream graph arrows turn green.
Or if it's: When do I know if any imported codepaths are updated? The revisions turn yellow.
How are streams different or similar from workflows that use published client specs for teams to work on a project/release/task?
Similar on the workspace side of things, but easier to manage, but much more powerful for branches.
Keep in mind, a workspace will always become inherited from the stream.
Can more than one person work on a task stream at the same time?
Yes, but I don't like the idea of shared workspaces. It can lead to all kinds of troubles. I prefer to keep task streams private. But Virtual Streams won't limit your ability to craft your unique workspace.
What is the best way to manage stream graphical representation over time? We already have 100's of streams and the display is rather busy.
There's a whole section on tools for searching and filtering here.
Suffice it to say, you can use a filter. P4V will remember.
If you're looking for easier, more intuitive access to your versioned files, then the Helix Visual Client (P4V) application is for you.
Offering complete visibility and control over your digital assets, P4V is a streamlined desktop app that can boost productivity and development speed in any workspace.

Happy hacking!

Back to Women's Basketball coverage
On the plus side is a positive RPI. A negative, however, is the brutal remaining schedule.
Kansas University's women's basketball team still has a shot at an NCAA Tournament berth, but coach Bonnie Henrickson isn't counting her chickens.
"It's definitely a challenge," Henrickson said, "but it's a tremendous opportunity as well."
The challenge lies in the four remaining Big 12 Conference games. They're all against ranked teams, starting with No. 15 Iowa State today.
Tipoff for the Dollar Day game will be at 6 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse. Fox Sports Kansas City (Sunflower Broadband channels 36, 236) will carry a live telecast.
Despite losing two starters to knee injuries — point guard Angel Goodrich in early January and All-America candidate Danielle McCray earlier this month — the Jayhawks have been hanging around the NCAA cutoff line.
KU's record is a so-so 15-10, but the Jayhawks' strength of schedule is in the top 20 nationally, and they are No. 33 in one RPI listing.
Obviously, the powerful Big 12 — the country's highest-rated league — has had a lot to do with KU's high RPI, but it's also noteworthy that KU has played only two teams all season (Northern Colorado and Cal-Riverside) with losing records at this point.
One thing is certain: A bunch of Big 12 teams will receive NCAA invitations. How many is the question. Some estimates put the total at nine, which would seem to work in KU's favor … if the Jayhawks' don't swoon during their four-game gantlet.
"But the most important thing," Henrickson said, "is to go one game at a time."
Iowa State (20-5) has overachieved this season, thanks mainly to point guard Alison Lacey, who has probably locked a first-team all-conference berth by averaging 17.3 points, 6.8 assists and 5.3 rebounds.
Kansas will travel to No. 17 Baylor on Sunday and to No. 3 Nebraska on Wednesday before closing the regular season at home on March 6 against No. 12 Texas A&M.;
• Tonight's game is another Dollar Day with tickets and most concessions costing just $1.
• KU freshman Carolyn Davis has reached double figures in eight of her last 10 games and is averaging a team-best 12.9 points and 7.7 rebounds in league play.
• KU freshman guard Monica Engelman is averaging 17.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.6 rebounds since replacing McCray five games ago.
• KU has won three of the last four meetings with ISU in Allen Fieldhouse, including a 58-47 victory last year.
