Solomon Islands Pijin
Almost everyone on Savo is fluent in Solomon Islands Pijin. Pijin and English are the only languages used in school. Children usually acquire Pijin only slightly later than Savosavo.
Savosavo is spoken on Savo island, a small volcanic island with a diameter of about 6 km, about 35 km north-west of the capital Honiara.

The term TRUSS refers to the group of members, where the menbers are arranged in such a way that they behave only as one. Truss usually consist of two menbers which bear the force of the structure of the truss. Trusses typically comprise five or more triangular units constructed with straight members whose ends are connected at joints. Truss can be pitched or flat depending on the place of the construction means where you have to put the truss.

Anxiety Club announce debut New Zealand tour in support of EP, Black Heart.
In their first ever nationwide tour, Anxiety Club will play Galatos in Auckland on Saturday, March 16; Meow in Wellington on Saturday, March 23 and Blue Smoke in Christchurch on Friday, March 29.
With a penchant for feel-good anthems of heartbreak and despair, Anxiety Club have been making a name for themselves since emerging on the Kiwi music scene in 2016 with Kev Fitzsimons at the helm.
The band bonded over a common love for alt-country, adding their own unique twist of indie alt-pop pop and grunge, with electronic influences. They made their mark with the singles 'Be Still' and 'I Don't Want Anyone (But You)', alongside a series of triumphant shows, including their sold-out debut at The Wine Cellar in Auckland.
They've also chalked up acclaimed performances at numerous New Zealand festivals and events, from Coastella and New Plymouth's TSB Festival of Lights, to playing at Gardens Magic in Wellington.
Late last year, Anxiety Club continued their winning streak with the release of their first studio-recorded EP Black Heart.
Also, listen to Anxiety Club's mesmerising performance on Jesse Mulligan's show on RNZ - listen here.
This month, Anxiety Club premiered their new single 'Ginger in the Summer' on RNZ. Proceeds from the song are being donated to the Cancer Society of New Zealand and it is currently only available as a download at the band's website here and on Bandcamp and iTunes. It will be available on streaming platforms in the coming weeks.
The band is excited to be on tour and is also looking forward to playing some new songs for fans.
"We can't wait to hit the road and play songs from Black Heart, plus some new songs. We're stoked to be returning to Auckland where we played a banger of a show last year. Also, this will be our first-ever South Island date," says lead singer Kev Fitzsimons.
Don't miss Anxiety Club and their unique blend of indie-Americana live this March!


Soilwork will travel to Australia in October in support of their new album, The Living Infinite.
Commented singer Björn "Speed" Strid: "We are nothing short of super excited to announce our return to Australia in Oct this year. Last tour was a big success and we were having the time of our lives, like we always do when hitting Aussie shores. We can't wait to once again give back to our ever so loyal fan base in Australia and tear it up real big with our new double album The Living Infinite! See you soon!"

Sexual orientation is forms of attraction to people. There are many different groups. Some examples are: attraction to a different gender (heterosexuality), attraction to the same gender (homosexuality), attraction to more than one gender (bisexuality),[1][2][3] and no attraction any gender (asexuality).[4][5]
The groups are part of sexual identity.[3] Some people use something such as pansexual or polysexual.[3][6] Other people use nothing at all. Androphilia and gynephilia are an alternative to the gender binary in homosexual and heterosexual. Androphilia is attraction to a man or masculinity (any quality or behavior linked to a man). Gynephilia is attraction to a woman or femininity.[7] Sexual preference overlaps with sexual orientation but is different.[8] A bisexual person may like one gender more than another.[9] Sexual preference may also give the idea of a degree of choice.[8][10][11] The scientific consensus (position in the community of scientists) is that sexual orientation is not a choice.[12][13][14]
Scientists do not know the exact cause of sexual orientation.[15] It is thought that this is a complex combination of genetics, hormones, and environment.[15] Scientists like any biological theory more than any social theory. This is because there is more proof that supports a biological cause of sexual orientation than a social one.[15][16][17] There is little proof which gives the idea that early life experiences play a part in connection to sexual orientation.[15]
Sexual orientation is important in biology, psychology, anthropology, history, and law.[18]

Difference from sexual identity and sexual behavior[change | change source]
General[change | change source]
Sexual orientation includes heterosexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality, and asexuality. An asexual has little to no sexual attraction to people.[4][5] This may be thought of as a lack of a sexual orientation.[19] There is a large amount of discussion over whether or not this is a sexual orientation.[4][5]
Most definitions of sexual orientation are one of two components. The focus is on the desire of an individual or the partner of the individual. Some people like to use the definition of the individual.
Sexual identity and sexual behavior are connected to sexual orientation but are different. Sexual identity is a concept of self. Sexual behavior is sex with other people. Sexual orientation is connections to other people.[20] An individual may or may not show sexual orientation from behavior.[1] A person who is not heterosexual by sexual orientation and has a heterosexual sexual identity is 'closeted'. This term may show a stage of change in any society that, little by little, attempts to support the sexual minority. In any sexual orientation study, scientists use the terms concordance (sexual attraction, sexual behavior, and sexual identity match) or discordance (sexual attraction, sexual behavior, and sexual identity do not match). Here is an example of discordance. A woman with attraction to women says she is heterosexual and only has sex with men. Sexual orientation (homosexual), sexual identity (heterosexual), and sexual behavior (heterosexual) of the woman do not match.[21]
Sexual identity may also describe a perception of the sex of a person. Sexual preference is almost the same as sexual orientation. The main difference is sexual preference gives the idea of a degree of choice.[8] The Committee on Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity of the American Psychological Association says the term supports a "heterosexual bias".[8]
Androphilia, gynephilia, and other terms[change | change source]
See also: Androphilia and gynephilia
Androphilia and gynephilia (or gynecophilia) are terms in behavioral science (the study of human and animal behavior) that describe sexual orientation. It is an alternative to the gender binary in homosexual and heterosexual. The terms describe the focus of attraction with no need to credit a sex assignment or gender identity to the person. Other terms such as pansexual and polysexual also do not make any connection to the person.[6][22] People may also use terms such as queer, pansensual, polyfidelitous, or ambisexual.[6]
Some scientists support use of the terms to skirt bias in concepts of human sexuality in the West. Sociologist Johanna Schmidt says that a term like "homosexual transsexual" cannot line up in a society where a third gender is supported. One example would be Samoan Fa'afafine.[23]
Bruce Bagemihl is also against "homosexual transsexual". This is because Bageminl thought this makes it simple to say a straight transgender woman is a homosexual male looking to run from stigma.[24]
Same gender loving (SGL) is a term by African Americans that is the same as homosexual.[25]
Gender and social pressure[change | change source]
Very early writers thought sexual orientation connects to the gender expression of the person. Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, Richard von Krafft-Ebing, Magnus Hirschfeld, Havelock Ellis, Carl Jung, and Sigmund Freud are some of the more famous writers. It was thought that a female person with attraction to female people is always masculine. Just the same, it was thought that a male person with attraction to male people is always feminine.[26] This understanding of homosexuality as sexual inversion was a discussion at the time. By the second half of the 1900s, gender identity was seen as different from sexual orientation. Transgender and cisgender people may be attracted to men, women, or both. A homosexual, heterosexual, or bisexual person may be masculine, feminine, or androgynous. Still, studies by J. Michael Bailey and Kenneth Zucker say most of the gay men and lesbians describe different degrees of not matching gender roles as a child.[27]
Today, the sexual orientation of transgender people match the gender. A trans woman who experiences attraction only to women is a lesbian. A trans man who experiences attraction only to women is a straight man.
Sexual orientation sees a more complex understanding of both sex (male, female, or intersex) and gender (man, woman, or third gender).
Outside of orientation[change | change source]
A gay or lesbian person may do sexual behaviors with someone of a different gender for many reasons. One reason is the desire for a family that looks common.[28][29][30] Another reason is to skirt bias. A third reason is to skirt punishment in religion and another reason is to simply be friends with benefits.[31][32] Not all LGBT people keep quiet about orientation to a wife or husband. Some who come out as gay or lesbian have a healthy continuous heterosexual marriage.[33][34][35]
Change[change | change source]
Sexual identity can change through the life of an individual. This may or may not line up with sex, sexual behavior, or sexual orientation.[36][37] Sexual orientation is stable and will not change for most people. Still, some tests say that some people may experience change in sexual orientation. This is more common for a woman than for a man.[15][38][39]
Cause[change | change source]
Scientists do not yet know the exact cause of sexual orientation.[15] People thought that homosexuality was the result of wrong brain development. Early life experience and sexual abuse was thought to cause wrong brain development. This thought process comes from bias about homosexuality.[1][2] Now many people guess that biology and environment play a complex part as a cause.
Biology[change | change source]
Tests link many biological factors which may have relation to the development of sexual orientation. The factors are genes, prenatal hormones, and brain structure. Tests are continuous in this area.[40]
Scientists have a belief that sexual orientation is not from any one factor. Instead, this is thought to be from a combination of genetics, hormones, and environment. There is more proof that supports a biological cause of sexual orientation than a social one. It is not thought that sexual orientation is a choice. Some scientists have the belief that this is set at fertilization.[41] Statistics say there are biological differences between gay people and heterosexuals. This may result from the same cause as sexual orientation itself.[42]
Identical twins are more likely to have the same sexual orientation as fraternal twins. This means genes are linked to the development of sexual orientation.[43] Studies have not found single 'gay genes', instead several thousand genes of a small influence are involved in sexual orientation. There are issues with the methods used in this research.[43]
The hormone theory of sexuality holds that certain hormones play a part in the sexual orientation that shows later in a mature person. Hormones in the fetus may be the prime effect on sexual orientation. This also may be one of many factors that combines with genes, environment, and social conditions to make a sexual orientation.[44]
In humans, it is normal for females to have two X chromosomes. For males, it is normal to have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. A human fetus starts as female so the Y chromosome is what makes the changes necessary to switch to male. Androgen hormones control this process. These androgens are testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The testicles in the fetus are responsible for the existence of androgens. The androgens will work together to make the sex difference of the fetus. This results in differences between males and females.[45] Some scientists change androgen levels in mammals during fetus and early life as experiments.[46]
More than one study says the chance of homosexuality in a male increases with each successful birth of a male child. This effect ends if a male uses his left hand more than his right hand since birth.[47]
Fraternal birth order (FBO) effect is a theory that has strong proof of its prenatal origin. No proof so far links this to an exact prenatal process. Tests give the idea that this may be from the immune system. This is a immune reaction from the mother against a substance important to the development of the male fetus. This reaction is even more probable after every successful male birth. It is thought that this immune effect changes future males prenatal development. This process is the maternal immunization hypothesis (MIH). This starts when cells from a male fetus enter the circulation of the mother. The immune system of the mother cannot support the Y proteins because she is female. This causes the development of antibodies. An antibody travels through the placenta into the section with the fetus. From here, an antibody crosses the blood–brain barrier of the brain of the fetus. This alters sex differences in brain structures relative to sexual orientation. This cause the son to experience more attraction to a man than a woman.[48]
Social environment[change | change source]
There is little proof to support the suggestion that early life experience or sexual abuse play a part in connection to sexual orientation. The viewpoints of parents may have an effect on how a child experiments with behaviors that link to a certain sexual orientation.[15][1][49][50]
Effort to change sexual orientation[change | change source]
See also: Conversion therapy
A sexual orientation change effort is a plan that will try to change a same gender sexual orientation. This is cognitive behavioral therapy or conversion therapy.[51]
No mental health organization gives approval to any effort to change sexual orientation. Almost all have a statement that says not to get a treatment that claims to change sexual orientation. Some orginizations with that statement are the American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association, American Counseling Association, National Association of Social Workers,[52] Royal College of Psychiatrists, and Australian Psychological Society.[53]
In 2012, the Pan American Health Organization makes a statement that says not to get a service that claims to change people with a not heterosexual sexual orientation. This is because there is no medical need. This is also a serious threat to the well-being of people that use this service. The scientific consensus of the world is that homosexuality is a normal and natural form of human sexuality. Homosexuality cannot be thought of as a disease. The Pan American Health Organization also says governments, schools, organizations, and communication outlets need to support respect for differences. Sometimes, a gay child will have to go to a "treatment" without choice. A gay child is sometimes put in a place separate from everyone for many months. Any places that have such poor treatment be subject to punishment under government law. This is for two reasons. The first reason is because this is against the moral concepts of medical care. The second reason is because this is against human rights that the international agreement keeps safe.[54]
The National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) takes takes issue with how the mental health society describes the success of conversion therapy. NARTH also takes issue with how the mental health society describes sexual orientation for two reasons. One reason is because it is not a fixed two part quality. The second reason is because it is not a disease. Instead, it describes as a continuous order of sexual attraction and emotional attraction.[55][56] The American Psychological Association and the Royal College of Psychiatrists say there is trouble with the positions of the NARTH. Science cannot support the positions. The positions also make an environment in which bias increases.[57]
Measure[change | change source]
Different definitions and strong social rules about sexuality makes sexual orientation hard to measure.
Early organization systems[change | change source]
In the 1860s, Karl Henrich Ulrichs makes small books about a sexual orientation organization system.[58] The organization system is only for males. It separates males into three simple groups. The groups are dionings, urnings and uranodionings. Ulrichs outlines a set of questions to check if a man was an urning.
A dioning is the same as heterosexual male. An urning is the same as a homosexual male. An uranodioning is the same as a bisexual male.
Urnings are put into four groups.
A mannling is a masculine urning. A weibling is an effeminate urning. A zwischen is an androgynous urning. A virilised is an urning that will only have heterosex sex.
In 1896, Berlin sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld makes a system that measures the strength of sexual desire of an individual. This system measures on two different scales of 10 points. The scales are A (homosexual) and B (heterosexual). A heterosexual individual may be A0, B5. A homosexual individual may be A5, B0. An asexual is A0, B0. Someone with a strong attraction to both genders may be A9, B9.
Kinsey scale[change | change source]
Alfred Kinsey, Wardell Pomeroy, and Clyde Martin made the Kinsey scale. This scale was in Sexual Behavior in the Human Male and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female.[59] It was made to fight the idea that people can only be homosexual or heterosexual. Kinsey sees that much of population is not all heterosexual or all homosexual. Such people experience both heterosexual and homosexual behavior.
The Kinsey scale is an organization of sexual orientation. The position on the scale is based on the relation of heterosexuality to homosexuality in their history.[60]
0 Exclusively heterosexual. Individuals only have sexual reactions to a different gender or sexual experiences with a different gender.
1 Predominately heterosexual/Incidentally homosexual. Individuals have most sexual reactions to a different gender or most sexual experiences with a different gender. Individuals also have sexual reactions to the same gender sometimes or sexual experiences with the same gender sometimes.
2 Predominately heterosexual but more than incidentally homosexual. Individuals have many sexual reactions to a different gender or many sexual experiences with a different gender. Individuals also have sexual reaction to the same gender or sexual experiences with the same gender.
3 Equally heterosexual and homosexual. Individuals have sexual reactions to the same gender and a different gender or sexual experiences with the same gender and a different gender at the same level.
4 Predominately homosexual but more than incidentally heterosexual. Individuals have many sexual reactions to the same gender or many sexual experiences with the same gender. Individuals also have sexual reaction to a different gender or sexual experiences with a different gender.
5 Predominately homosexual/Incidentally heterosexual. Individuals have most sexual reactions to the same gender or most sexual experiences with the same gender. Individuals also have sexual reactions to a different gender sometimes or sexual experiences with a different gender sometimes.
6 Exclusively homosexual. Individuals only have sexual reactions to the same gender or sexual experiences with the same gender.
X Nonsexual. Individuals have no sexual reactions to any gender and no sexual experiences with any gender.
Even with eight groups, it is still hard determining which group will be good to put an individual in. Masters and Johnson talk about the difficulty of sexual comparisons with the Kinsey results.[61] They find it hard to put an individual between the numbers 2 to 4 if the individual has a large amount of heterosexual and homosexual experiences. This is because it becomes hard for that individual to judge the relative amount of each without bias.
Kinsey thought about two areas of sexual orientation. The two areas are sexual reactions and sexual experiences. Weinrich says important information is lost when the two values combine into one final result.[62][63] A person only with same gender sexual reactions is different from someone with little sexual reactions but a large amount of same gender sexual experiences. Also, there are more than two areas of sexuality to be thought about. Attraction and identity are other areas to judge. This is fixed in the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid.
A 1970s study on masculinity and femininity says that the concepts are better on separate scales. The scales are in place of single continuous scale. Each end of the scale is representative of total opposites. When on the same scale, one will have to decrease for the other to increase. To be more feminine, one has to be less masculine. To be more masculine, one has to be less feminine. However, if they are thought of as separate areas, one can be both very masculine and very feminine. In the same way, heterosexuality and homosexuality on separate scales would allow one to be both very heterosexual and very homosexual. Or someone can be not very much of either. This makes determining the degree of heterosexual and homosexual in an individual easy. It is easy because each area is thought as independent rather than attempts to match a specific balance like the Kinsey scale.[64]
Klein Sexual Orientation Grid[change | change source]
In 1978, Fritz Klein makes the Klein sexual orientation grid (KSOG). It was in his book The Bisexual Option. The KSOG uses a seven-point scale to measure sexual orientation in seven sections. The focus is on three different points of life: past (from age thirteen to one year before current age), present (within the last twelve months), and ideal (what someone wants if they have complete choice). This design is an improvement on the Kinsey scale.
The Sell Assessment of Sexual Orientation[change | change source]
The Sell Assessment of Sexual Orientation (SASO) is an improvement on the Kinsey Scale and Klein Sexual Orientation Grid. SASO improves in three areas. It contains many sections of sexual orientation. It also separates homosexuality and heterosexuality. SASO can start discussions on the best ways to measure sexual orientation.
Many people have been discriminated against because of their sexual orientation. In many cultures, people who are homosexual or bisexual have been teased (made fun of), fired from their job, or made to suffer violence because of who they are. In many countries and states, there are laws against having sex with somebody of the same gender, and people can be put in jail because of who they have sex with. In the United States, these laws were struck down (repealed) by the United States Supreme Court in the last few years. The Yogyakarta Principles are made to combat such discrimination and United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights also made a document "Born Free and Equal" to counter them by international human rights law.[65]

Why The Rock Is Awesome
We've Thought About It And This Is Why We Love The Rock
This article was originally published by AskMen UK.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson squeezed his hulking 6'5'', 266-pound frame onto our TVs this summer for the HBO comedy Ballers, a sporty spin on Entourage in which he stars as a retired Miami Dolphin now trying to give financial advice to NFL players. So we decided to deconstruct our man crush. Here are 10 reasons why the wrestler-turned-screen hero, well, rocks…
Start from the beginning
He actually rescues drowning puppies
Last weekend, The Rock made the web swoon when he rescued his two new French bulldog pups, Brutus and Hobbs, from his swimming pool. When he put the pair outside to start toilet training, they immediately scampered off and plopped into the deep end. Their proud owner promptly dived in fully clothed to save Brutus, who didn't know how to doggy paddle. The Rock might've had to replace the waterlogged phone in his trouser pocket but he won more hearts than he'd ever imagined.
Show Page 3
He can laugh at himself
Last year, The Rock proved his self-deprecating sense of humour by posting a nasty '90s pic of himself for #WaybackWednesday, with the excellent message: "Fanny pack and lean take it to a whole other level... #90sRock #WTF #BuffLesbian". The pic went viral and he even made Christmas cards out of it.
He was nearly Willy Wonka
Brilliantly, The Rock was director Tim Burton's unlikely second choice for the iconic role of Willy Wonka in 2005's Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. Sadly, the part went to first choice Johnny Depp.

He gives a good put-down
In his WWE days, The Rock had a long-running feud with rival John Cena and dished out some choice trash talk – mainly about Cena's cringe-worthy clothes. The Rock told him: "Nobody's worn jeans shorts since '92… You look like a transvestite Wonder Woman… Like a homeless Power Ranger… Like a big fat bowl of Fruity Pebbles… Like you just got shot out of Barney the dinosaur's anus."
He ain't stupid (or stingy)
The Rock's got a degree in criminology and physiology. When he hit the big-time, he made the largest ever donation to the athletics faculty at his alma mater, The University of Miami, giving $1m to help renovate its football facilities. Then later gave another $2m to upgrade the student union.
He's soft and squishy
When a fan Instagrammed a photo of her Rock pillow, the man himself responded with grace and wit. His hashtag game is tight, too: "An awesome fan (Sophie) sent me this. Thank you honey and hope you had an awesome Christmas #ItsFineForYouToSnore #ButNoDroolingOnMyFace #IJustExfoliated#AndUMustWinEveryPillowFight."

He loves his mom (and ours)
On Mother's Day, The Rock shared a heartwarming Facebook post about how, as they flew together on his private jet, his mum said: ''Son, I can't believe the life I have. Grandma and grandpa would be so proud.''
"I asked her, 'Are you happy, ma?' Just then the flight attendant placed my mom's meal on the table and my mom said to me, 'Am I happy? I used to worry about how I was going to buy groceries for us. Now I just had my breakfast placed down in front of me'. She bursts into tears and says 'Yes, son, I couldn't be happier.'
This is the woman who when I was 14, we were evicted out of our apartment 'cause we couldn't afford the rent. And y'all know when our parents tell us they're happy, it's so satisfying for us, 'cause it means we've done a good job for them as their kids. Happy Mother's Day to all the deserving amazing mamas out there. And to my amazing mom, who will no doubt kill me for posting this."
Two years earlier, he posted the equally lovely: "At 14, I saw my mom crying about our only car being repossessed. This felt good. Merry Christmas mom."
He loves his fans, too
This summer, The Rock set a Guinness World Record for the most selfies in three minutes, taking 105 snaps with fans at the West End premiere of San Andreas.
Show Page 10
He treats being nice to fans like a religion
The Rock recently became a fully-legal ordained minister, just so he could surprise a super-fan by officiating at his wedding. Aww.

He shakes it off
"Yo ass is getting ready to know Tay-Tay." The Rock's not too macho to lip-sync along to Taylor Swift, while busting moves and giving the finger to his opponent Jimmy Fallon. "You can tell he's done that before in his bedroom," chuckled Fallon.

Q: AdminDirectory to get company directory to embed on Google Site I've found the below code (here) to list directory info in a spreadsheet so that I can publish it to our Google Intranet site. I've tested and it works great, but I have the following two issues:

*

*The organization property the way it is written displays all info in one column like this: {customType=Work, location=Sunset Wipes, title=IT Manager, department=IT, primary=true}. I'm looking to be able to just pull the Title, Department and Location as separate columns. I've tried organization.title, organization[title], organization[title.value], but am not sure the correct syntax to just pull individual property values under organization.

*The phones property the way it is written displays only one phone number and in the format like: {type=work, value=6118}. I want to be able to display work, mobile and other phones numbers in separate columns. In the same manner as organizations, I've tried different ways of trying to get this and can't figure out the syntax.

Dreamers pursue God. They are not inward focused, self-serving, trite or vengeful. Dreamers pursue reflecting who God is.
We choose our attitude. The book of Philippians focuses on Paul's attitude. This attitude, and the whole mindset of the book is a passionate pursuit of God. The book is an internal focused book. It is an attitude check. The goal Paul refers to is beyond self. The key is found in Phil 2:5- having the same attitude that was also in Christ Jesus.
The best dreams are ones that focus on being, not doing. If there is any lesson that is crystal clear in the Bible it is this: we cannot earn favor with God. Doing, achieving, possessing means nothing if we fail to be who God wants us to be. Focusing on who we want to be will have greater impact on what we do. Our attitude affects everything. Dreamers need humility. Great leaders and people in life show this attitude. Focus on being humble. It works! Look at Christ.
Regardless of our history, our present or our future, we get to be with God. This is why our attitude and our focus on being is so important. No matter how good or bad, rich or poor, healthy or ill, we can posses our dream. This is why the best dreams are the ones that focus on being. A slave can be a dreamer. An alcoholic can be a dreamer. A murder can be a dreamer. A single mom can be a dreamer. An orphan can be a dreamer. Dreams are not about our situation but our destination. The Gospel forges our dreams in Christ, not our wishful thinking or our own power.
There is more to life than now. There is more to life than our preferences and whims. Dreams move us beyond ourself. Dreamers pursue being the kind of person God designed us to be in the places He puts us. God did not create us as an afterthought. God does not save people to merely escape Hell. There is a story, a masterpiece that is your life. Pursuing God paints this work of art.

Q: Load resource from JAR without accessing ClassLoader? Is there a simple way to load resource from my own executing JAR as InputStream without accessing ClassLoader? The problem is that my java.policy restricts accessing ClassLoader (this cannot be changed). I want to load some xml config which I can put anywhere in my JAR, but cannot have it outside the JAR.
Thank you for answers.
Actually my problem is not with my own ClassLoader. I'm using XStream, which wants to create some classloader and app crashes with:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission createClassLoader)
        at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:323)
        at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:546)
        at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(SecurityManager.java:532)
        at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkCreateClassLoader(SecurityManager.java:594)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.(ClassLoader.java:226)
        at com.thoughtworks.xstream.core.util.CompositeClassLoader.(CompositeClassLoader.java:50)

A: Class.getResource/getResourceAsStream.
In fact a class should always be able to get hold of its own class loader, no matter what the security policy.

CUK, CUJ decides to cooperate in academic, admn affairs
Observer News Service | March 27, 2016
Srinagar: The Vice-Chancellors of Central University of Kashmir and Jammu today decided to strengthen both the institutions of higher learning through mutual cooperation in academics and administrative affairs.
Jointly chairing the meeting of Deans of Schools, Heads and Coordinators of the Departments of the Central University of Kashmir, CUK Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Mehraj ud Din and CUJ Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ashok Aima underscored the need of standardisation of the curriculum in both the institutions. "There is a dire need of standardising the curriculum in both the institutions before starting the transfer of credits system (implementation of Choice Based Credit System) in both the institutions," both Vice-Chancellors said, adding that the faculty members of both the varsities should come to common terms with respect to the curriculum to be taught in both the institutions. "They should thoroughly examine and scrutinise the curriculum of common disciplines taught in both the Central Universities and frame the best curriculum, which ultimately would benefit the students' community at large" the VCs said.
The Vice-Chancellors also agreed to hold video-conference between the students and faculty of both the institutions every month on a particular topic. "This will be beneficial to the faculty and students of both the institutions as it will generate a debate and discussion on the topic and will give the participants a chance to give their point of view," they said.
They said both the universities would jointly conduct seminars, workshops and other events in near future.
Speaking on the occasion, Prof. Mehraj ud Din said the university would constitute a Best Teacher Award to be awarded to one of the faculty member every year for excelling in the teaching and learning process. He asked the faculty members to come up with proposals for faculty and students exchange programme between the CUK and CUJ.
Registrar, Prof. M Afzal Zargar while proposing the vote of thanks said the mutual cooperation between both the institutions on academic front will go a long way in serving the community and will also be a role model for other Central Universities.

India for Me…Days 5 and 6
March 25, 2016 March 25, 2016 ~ fredcasden
At this point, some of you may be wondering if our intrepid group of adventurers left the relative comforts of Bombay, took a series of plane rides to New Delhi and then Manipur, and then traveled south in a caravan of taxis for no other reason than to admire the admittedly gorgeous view at the state park or for yours truly to consider the ramifications of cows walking down a busy street in a small village along the way? That seems like a long way to go for such a modest reward. Never fear, gentle reader, you may be sure that there is more to it than that. We did have another destination: a village wherein we would find members of another group on our itinerary, the Bnei Menashe, eagerly awaiting our arrival.
There used to be a time, not so long ago, when students of Jewish demography could take a map and pinpoint with some certainty where Jewish communities could be found around the world. If you took that map back then and were idly looking at the Indian subcontinent…….let's just say that there wouldn't be much doing in the region of Manipur . (To be fair, in 1950 there wouldn't have been much to show in Ethiopia either.) By the 21st century, Jewish demography had become a lot more complicated and perhaps a lot more interesting. Part of it was because there were these groups, like the Bnei Menashe, whose origins were, shall we say, "shrouded in mystery." And there were people – like the two Ari's – who keep running around trying to locate possible descendants of the Jewish tribes that had seemingly disappeared from history over the course of the last 2,000 years. A lot of the looking has been done by Michael Freund, who created an organization, Shavei Israel, which has assisted a number of far flung groups in regaining their Jewish identities, in the process, bringing a considerable number of these individuals to Israel.
The Indian Army — ever alert — at the Bnei Menashe HQ
So there we were, in Churachandpur, visiting the main Bnei Menashe facility – built through the efforts of the very same Michael Freund – whose name is prominently displayed on the premises – hearing a presentation of the why's and wherefore's of Bnei Menashe life from leaders of their community. The cherry-on-the-top, so to speak, was the presence of a young man who had made his way to Israel, gone through formal conversion, and served in the IDF; he had recently returned to visit with the old folks at home. I think it would be fair to say that a lot of his family, friends, and neighbors would be willing to join him, forsaking their ancestral homes for a piece of The Land – difficult as that journey might be.
After the presentation, after a Bnei Menashan song, after we all davened Mincha, we sat outside and ate our boxed lunch. (Quick, take a few minutes to walk the nearby street in search of something to photograph.) Back in the taxis to visit another, smaller house of worship in a neighboring village. By this time, it was well past mid-afternoon. Time for the fleet of taxis to head back to Imphal, past the soldiers on duty several miles apart all along the way, past the herd of cows heading "home," causing a traffic jam along the road, all the while, the sun sinking under the mountains to the west.
Cattle returning home at dusk
The following day could be summarized with the repetitive "same old, same old." We went back to the airport and boarded another el cheapo Indigo flight, this time to Coimbatore, going through the same tedious set of security checks, sitting in exactly the same seats we had on the flight in, staying on board while the plane landed en route to discharge some of the passengers, do another security check prior to allowing a new set of fellow travelers to embark. We did arrive at our destination, where we boarded a bus, taking us to our hotel. Get settled in: evening prayers and dinner on the veranda. Tomorrow would be another day, in many ways the highlight of our trip. And if you are patient, all will be revealed.
Early morning at the Manipur airport. (As you can see, not much going on!)

The Israeli Dilemma : Book Review: `The Fear of Peace` by Moshe Zimmermann
Ina Rottscheidt
Qantara
http://www.qantara.de/webcom/show_article.php/_c-476/_nr-1380/i.html
Why has the peace process in the Middle East stagnated? In his new book, Moshe Zimmermann claims that the reason is that the Israelis fear peace more than they fear the state of war. Ina Rottscheidt spoke with the renowned Israeli historian and publicist
Hosts of mediators, diplomats and politicians have travelled to the Middle East in recent years in attempts to revive the peace process. There have been many discussions, appeals and plans, but in the end, there has been no movement. On the contrary, the positions of the Israelis and the Palestinians seem more entrenched than ever.
This is because Israel has more to fear from peace than from war – a provocative thesis put forward by the Israeli author and historian Moshe Zimmermann in his new book Die Angst vor dem Frieden. Das israelische Dilemma (The Fear of Peace. The Israeli Dilemma).
`In a war, you have a good idea what to expect. This is not necessarily the case with peace,` says Zimmermann. `Many people suspect that behind peace lurks deceit and peril, and that readiness to compromise will be construed as weakness.`
In accordance with this way of thinking, peace can only be achieved by keeping the enemy in check. Back in 1993, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote in his book A Place Among the Nations, `In the Middle East, security ranks above peace and peace treaties. Whoever fails to understand this will remain without security and without peace.`
This policy of deterrence has become an existential issue for the military and political classes in Israel, concludes Zimmermann in his book. `In any case, the assumption is that everyone surrounding Israel is intent on destroying the country, and, as Islamist movements such as Hamas and Hezbollah are regarded as spearheading the anti-Israeli camp, retaliatory strikes always seem to be the appropriate action to take in order to re-establish the deterrent effect.`
Dealing with the threat
There can be no doubt that Israel faces a number of real dangers such as terrorism, threats of annihilation from Iran, hostile neighbouring states, and the collective memory of the Shoah. There are certainly enough parties with belligerent attitudes towards Israel, and Zimmermann doesn`t dispute this. On the contrary, he writes in his book that these are reasons enough to be interested in peace. `The public discourse on these threats could be conducted in a different way, investigating the root causes of the problems and engaging in a search for alternatives for the future that could diffuse the threats or lead to some kind of turnaround.`
Yet exactly the opposite has taken place; fears are constantly growing. This is substantiated by opinion polls conducted in recent years. There are many Israelis, claims Zimmermann, who believe that peace will only be possible when the Arabs and Palestinians are no longer there or are under Israeli control.
Holding the majority hostage
According to Zimmermann, although these views are actually held by a small, radical minority in Israel, this minority is holding the majority hostage with its message. `Of course, the majority of Israelis want to live in peace, enjoy life, be prosperous, have a good time, watch the World Cup, and so on. But there is a minority in this society that is interested in opposing peace.`
He raises the example of the settlers who don`t want to give up their settlements on the West Bank. And then there is the military, which relies on a policy of deterrence; peace and compromise would entail an end to their status in society. This is why stirring up fears has become an instrument of power for the military, believes Zimmermann.
The majority allows this to take place, because majorities are usually lethargic and comfortable with the status quo. In addition, Jewish history lets them draw the conclusion that refraining from the use of weapons means weakness and catastrophe.
`When it is stressed that we have always been the victims, that it should never be allowed to happen again, but that Arabs and Palestinians are pursuing this very aim, then any appeals on the part of the Israeli Left to consider alternatives do not seem very convincing,` say the historian.
A change in attitude – but how?
In his book, Zimmermann concludes that a change in attitude, a move away from the fixation on fear and deterrence, is the only way out of the current dilemma. Such a change took place in 1993, when during the negotiations for the Oslo Accords, Israel decided to speak to the Palestinians and the PLO, leaving old prejudices and fears aside.
This all ended abruptly in 1995, however, with the murder of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. How such a change in attitude in Israel could be revived and to what extent the Palestinian side must make a contribution are issues not addressed by Zimmermann in his book.
The author has earned a great deal of criticism in Israel for his book, where he is occasionally regarded as a traitor who spreads anti-Israeli theories.
The real anti-Israelis, counters Zimmermann, sit in the government. He says, `The government is pursuing anti-Israeli policies because its actions lead to Israel being isolated, peace being prevented, and ultimately to the threat of catastrophe!`

The British Universities Ice Hockey Association was founded in spring term 2003 by a group of hockey players from the universities of Oxford, London, Nottingham and Newcastle.

History of the BUIHA
The British Universities Ice Hockey Association, or BUIHA, was formed in response to the growing number of universities with ice hockey programmes in an effort to provide students with competitive ice hockey whilst at university, no matter what their level of play.

The notion to form the BUIHA first arose in Easter 2003. The idea was to simply form a divisional competition for the existing university teams. Development over the summer of 2003 led to a committee being put in place, a schedule being set and a number of teams signed up to take part in the first ever BUIHA University Cup. The National Championships was already an existing competition. Indeed, the 2003/04 formative season finished in style at the National Championships weekend where the then 13 member teams battled it out for The Rawlinson Plate & The Hopkins Plate.

The following season, to further the BUIHA objective of progression at all levels of the sport, the BUIHA introduced Division 3. Also joining the BUIHA in its second season were a number of new university teams, a number that would be again bolstered in its 3rd season, bringing the total teams for 2005-6 to 29.

The 2008/09 Season saw the Bristol Lions enter for the 1st time.  The sole new entrant in the 2009/10 season were the newly formed Kent Knights, who arrived on the scene with an old friend lining up in a Knights roster.  It was the time that Old Skool had ended his association with Imperial College Devils and was playing for his University for the very first time.  The 2010/11 season saw the Oxford Women's Blues join their Cambridge counterparts in Division 3 South, and in 2012 we saw a team from St Andrews enter the National Championships in Tier II.

In the 2012/13 there was a change in cup competition structure, with Division 3 becoming Non-checking Division 1, and the addition of a third checking division. New teams joined the competition from UCL and University of East Anglia, and a reformed Northumbria team joined as the Kings. Unfortunately, the season started without the return of teams from Bristol and Huddersfield.

2013/14 Season saw the Birmingham Eagles finally gain recognition for their Students Guild, part of the deal saw the club rebranded as the Birmingham Lions to fall inline with the other sports clubs at the university.

The National Championships
The then secretary of the Oxford Vikings, Alexis Rawlinson, came up with the idea of organising a tournament for all the university ice hockey teams in the UK. At the time this was not such a daunting organisational prospect, given that there were only seven teams.

A few weeks later five teams (blues squads were not invited as they were above the standard of all other teams) gathered for a late night ice hockey session at Oxford Ice Rink starting at 11 pm and running all the way through to the morning. The result of this was a narrow Newcastle victory by one point over the Oxford Vikings. Newcastle arranged the next two events at the National Ice Centre (NIC) in Nottingham, which saw victories for Newcastle in 2002 and London in 2003.

For 2004, to recognise the contribution of Alexis to British University Ice Hockey, the top National Championship trophy was renamed the Rawlinson Plate.

2004 also saw the introduction of a 2nd Tier of competition due to the introduction of many new teams. The BUIHA is now host of a range of new teams from England, Scotland and Wales as well as the original seven that entered the first National Championships in 2001. From 2005 onwards tier II was renamed The Hopkins Plate.  From the start of the 2015 season onwards the Tier 3 national championship trophy is to be renamed the Miller Trophy to honour the ongoing work the chairman, Andrew Miller, puts into the job.

The Cup competition
Created in Autumn 2003 by the founding BUIHA committee the cup competition was envisioned as a league type competition available to university clubs in the UK.

Operating within the EIHA recreational section the clubs involved played a round robin format with the winner being declared at the end of the season as the team with the most points (using goal difference as a tie breaker).

Founding clubs of the initial two divisions (in alphabetical order) were:

Division 1
 Cambridge University Blues
 University of London Union Purples
 Nottingham Universities Mavericks A

Division 2

 Birmingham Eagles
 Cambridge University Eskimos
 Imperial College Devils
 Newcastle University Wildcats
 Nottingham Universities Mavericks  B
 Oxford University Vikings
 University of Warwick Panthers

From the 2008/2009 season the BUIHA operated directly under the EIHA board after being awarded a section of their own and separating from the Rec section.  This has led to several improvements to the way the organisation can operate.

Team Great Britain
Launched at the end of the 2004–5 season, Team Great Britain is the national university side that will compete against other national university sides, including competing at the bi-annual FISU World University Games. Mike Urquhart & Matt Bradbury have agreed to coach the team. Any person attending university anywhere in the world who is a UK & Northern Ireland citizen between the ages of 17 and 28 is able to play for the team. This disregards the level to which they have played the sport.

So how much of this technology is artificial intelligence and a threat to society? We can assess this based on previous courtroom decisions. In 1977, the Supreme Court of the United States vacated and remanded decision in Gardner v. Florida. "The Petitioner was denied due process of law when the death sentence was imposed by the Florida Supreme Court, at least in part, on the basis of information that he had no opportunity to deny or explain," stated Justice Stevens. The information utilized in the case was an informational report which held information of which Gardner was unaware.
On July 13, 2016, a similar report was utilized for sentencing of Eric M. Loomis and evaluated on appeal by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The report was comprised of a proprietary algorithm utilized by the COMPAS system which scales violence and recidivism risk principles as part of case triage. In its opinion, the Wisconsin Supreme Court stated, "The court of appeals certified the specific question of whether the use of a COMPAS risk assessment at sentencing violates a defendant's right to due process, either because the proprietary nature of COMPAS prevents defendants from challenging the COMPAS assessment's scientific validity, or because COMPAS assessments take gender into account." The court determined, "if used properly, observing the limitations and cautions set forth herein, a circuit court's consideration of a COMPAS risk assessment at sentencing does not violate a defendant's right to due process," further explaining its reasoning for decision was supported by other independent factors; thus, the risk assessment use was not a determinate.


Hi everyone! Here is what you have to learn about my humble self. I grew up in Concord in Cherokee county, TX. It is absolutely extraordinary! I am a faithful local patriot and I like to know some interesting facts concerning my village. For example the GNIS number of Concord is 1378149. Moreover its population in 2010 was -999 and I know majority of those people! What is actually very good in this town is its altitude above sea level - 413 feets (or 126 meters, as you prefer). It provides a perfect atmosphere for your health. I truly encourage you to visit Concord at the earliest opportunity! See you later!


The vineyard, the most westerly on Kangaroo Island is subject to a strong marine influence from the Southern Ocean, with mild summers, moderate rainfall and at times strong winds. Of recent years the rainfall weather pattern has been more unpredictable. The yields are typically low and being some of the latest to ripen on the Island which produces some unique cool climate fruit characteristics.
The vineyard has traditional varieties with cabernet sauvignon and shiraz reds being planted in 1999 and the chardonnay and sauvignon blanc whites planted in 2003.
In the early days there was some hand picking. However there is such difficulty on the Island to obtain sufficient numbers of reliable pickers that all grapes including the whites are now machine harvested - at night if possible and sent to the mainland in tonne bins for processing. There have been some very tasty reds but all medium bodied due to the character of the fruit in this climate. Due to these essentially cool climate conditions in the vineyard there have been some excellent whites, the sauvignon blanc in particular. This has been favourably compared with some top quality New Zealand sauvignon blancs.
To extend the range there is a sparkling shiraz / cabernet, a sparkling chardonnay and more recently there has been a slightly sweeter white wine to suit palates that prefer wine not quite so dry. The Turkey Nest 2 is the current label and is based on a fruity, sauvignon blanc. In addition from native herb leaf grown on the farm, lemon myrtle and aniseed myrtle liqueurs are offered. All wines and the liqueurs are top quality and are very popular at the Cellar Door, in the Marron Cafe, in Kangaroo Island liquor outlets and mail order all around Australia. Mainland outlets may become available in due course but the on-line, mail order works extremely well.
Two Wheeler Creek whites celebrating sauvignon blanc and chardonnay.
Diners can choose whites from a truly excellent sauvignon blanc, a chardonnay and a slightly sweeter wine – the Turkey Nest – either a blend of chardonnay and sauvignon blanc or just sauvignon blanc dependent seasonally on the available fruit. There is also an impressive sparkling chardonnay.
A first class fruit driven wine just to enjoy and savour, alone or with seafood, poultry, pasta and light meals. One of the Best on Kangaroo island.
A fruity delightful wine designed and processed to provide a little extra sweetness to satisfy some palates.A very popular addition.
Great with seafood, poultry, pasta and light meals.
Soft and flavoursome – has proven to be a hit with chardonnay lovers and even some sauvignon blanc fans. In the style of our whites excellent with seafood, poultry, pasta and light meals.
Two Wheeler Creek reds, celebrating cabernet sauvignon and shiraz.
The reds are a great example of the high quality wine from the Kangaroo Island region with cabernet sauvignon and shiraz.
Excellent with beef, lamb and chicken or just to enjoy.
A good year also for shiraz with delightful flavours and a long drinking life. It will sell out while still in its prime.
Two Wheeler Creek bubbles with a sparkling red and white.
Perfect for that special occasion or function, these wines are a celebration of Kangaroo Island wine and have enjoyed a cult following for many years.
A well balanced sweetness to suit most palates with a delicious blend of spice, oak and fruit. It has a cult following for party or pre-dinner drinks.
Two Wheeler Creek exclusive lemon myrtle and aniseed myrtle liqueurs.
With a strong foodie influence on the farm Australian native lemon myrtle and aniseed myrtle are grown and used to make sauces and dressings for the Cafe but in this instance very tasty and exclusive lemon myrtle and aniseed myrtle liqueurs have been made by the local distiller Kangaroo island Spirits. Supplied in 375cl .

Random Like Arum
Rugby on a Tuesday morning in Kenya! One of the strangest thing you'll hear that happened this year. It was interesting yet different. Obviously, there was more than meets the eye.
With most people deciding to stay at home as it was a public holiday, the roads were clear. Others were keen on attending the president's inauguration on the other side of town. As you may have guessed, it was easy to get to the venue.
The match was well attended with a good number of rugby fans showing up to watch SportPesa Quins take on Menengai Cream Homeboyz at the start of the Kenya Cup campaign for both teams. It had been rescheduled from Saturday 25 November and the high scoring, end to end encounter at the RFUEA Grounds did not disappoint.
It was worth the Tuesday morning sacrifice.
The final score was a 41-39 win in favor of the Menengai Cream Homeboyz but one of the things that stood out is how Kenya rugby has changed. Sponsors have come on board and you get a clear feeling that much of this growth within rugby wouldn't have been possible through such commitments.

How has club rugby changed?
The first thing you notice nowadays are shirt sponsors which tells you a lot about the confidence that is growing with the sport. Gone are the days where players played club rugby "at their own risk". There were few medics available and technical benches were shallow. The clubs mostly relied on donors and very few team sponsors were present.
The venues were not very welcoming and you had to be a die-hard rugby fan to go watch your team. Otherwise, you would easily skip the game and wait to hear the result later.
This had a direct effect on the quality of the game with many of the players dropping the sport to pursue their careers and leaving the game to a younger generation of players who do not directly benefit from the experience they should have been exposed to.
All that has changed now with investment in to the sport. Among the most notable sponsorship of Kenyan club rugby that has happened in the recent past is when gaming firm SportPesa and Kenya Harlequins signed a 10-year sponsorship deal.
Enter SportPesa Quins
On November 4th 2016, Kenya Harlequins, one of the oldest rugby clubs in the country, signed a partnership with local gaming firm SportPesa who were made the club's shirt sponsors for an initial five-year period, with room for a further five-year extension.
Neither did the club nor did the sponsors disclose the exact amount involved but word has it that the deal might be in the region of over Sh50 million, with a percentage increment every year.
The deal covers a range of things in the club from salaries, allowances to kitting and infrastructure and as part of the new deal, the team changed its name to SportPesa Quins.

SportPesa also committed to rehabilitating and upgrading the Kenya Rugby Football Union grounds along Ngong' Road, the facility which also doubles up as the Quins home ground.
The team is set to contract 40 of its 73 players as semi professionals and they will be entitled to better salaries and allowances.
Meanwhile, Quins is adopting two lower tier clubs, Dagoretti Bulldogs and Kitale RFC as part of their Community Social Responsibility (CSR) projects, giving them kitting, technical and financial support.
Indeed, club rugby has changed in Kenya and the clubs have got balls to play club rugby on a Tuesday morning. Literally.
