The Bell ARH-70 Arapaho[1][2] was an American four-bladed, single-engine, light military helicopter designed for the United States Army's Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (ARH) program. With a crew of two and optimized for urban combat, the ARH-70 was slated to replace the Army's aging OH-58D Kiowa Warrior.
Excessive delays and growth in program costs forced its cancellation on 16 October 2008, when the Department of Defense failed to certify the program to Congress. The ARH-70 was touted as having been built with off-the-shelf technology, the airframe being based on the Bell 407.
The RAH-66 Comanche helicopter program was canceled by the U.S. Army on 23 February 2004. The cancellation was a result of a six-month study which recommended canceling the program before the Comanche reached production, after 20 years and development costs of over US$6.9 billion. The study estimated that the Army would save US$14 billion with the cancellation, which could then be used to update and replace the aging airframes of the Army's helicopter fleet.[3] The study targeted the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior for replacement based on the age of the airframes, recent losses, and a lack of replacement airframes.
Army officials issued a request for proposals (RFP) for the replacement aircraft as the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (ARH) on 9 December 2004.[4] The Army's concept would use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology, with the goal of an operational unit of 30 helicopters and eight trainers ready by September 2008.[5] Two companies submitted bids:[6]
Boeing proposed the upgraded version of the MH-6 Little Bird, the MH-6M Mission Enhanced Little Bird (MELB). Because the aircraft was already in service with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, it became the predictive favorite despite doubts that MD Helicopters Inc. (MDHI) could ramp up production to meet the contract's demands. To alleviate this concern, Boeing purchased the production rights for the design and served as the prime contractor.[7]
A Bell 407 being used for early development of the ARH-70
Bell Helicopter proposed an update of the OH-58D concept in a militarized version of the Bell 407, using a more powerful Honeywell HTS900 turboshaft engine,[8] an all-composite main rotor based on the Bell 430's rotor, and the Bell 427 tail assembly.[9]
The Army announced Bell as the winner of a contract for 368 helicopters on 29 July 2005. There was some confusion as Bell figures placed the contract value at US$2.2 billion while Army estimates were over US$3 billion, compared to its earlier estimate of US$2.36 billion.[10] The contract called for the development of prototypes and the delivery of preproduction aircraft to the Army for the Limited User Test (LUT), with the first unit equipped by the end of September 2008.[5][11]
Bell's ARH demonstrator, a modified Bell 407 (s/n 53343/N91796[12]), first flew on 3 June 2005.[13] In February 2006, the ARH demonstrator flew with a limited avionics and Mission Equipment Package (MEP), and in April Bell fitted and mounted the Honeywell HTS900-2 engine to the demonstrator airframe, followed by a series of ground runs.[14] The first flight was delayed, first in March and then in May, to allow Bell to configure the prototypes as preproduction aircraft. Bell and the Army both eventually agreed that this delay would be essential for maintaining the compressed timeline for development.[14] The ARH-70's maiden flight occurred on 20 July 2006, at Bell's XworX facility in Arlington, Texas.[5]
On 21 February 2007, during its first flight, prototype #4 (s/n 53906/N445HR) suffered a loss of engine power, due to fuel starvation, and made an autorotational landing at a nearby golf course. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair when it rolled over during the landing; the test pilots survived and were uninjured.[15][16][17]
A month later, on 22 March 2007, the Army issued a "Stop Work" notice, giving Bell 30 days to present a plan to get the ARH program back on track. Previous estimates for the System Development Demonstration portion of the program had grown from $210 million to over $300 million.[18] Textron, Bell's parent company, notified investors that they could lose $2–4 million on each aircraft under the contract.[19] Bell appealed and received permission to continue development using company funds until the notice was resolved. On 18 May 2007, the Army approved continuation of the ARH program.[20]
The House Appropriations Committee's Defense panel drafted a bill for the 2008 Defense Budget which zeroed out funding for ARH-70 production, citing Bell's inability to enter production, but continued funding for research and development.[21] However, government officials began working on export policy to allow international sales of the ARH-70. Including the U.S. Army's expected total of 512 helicopters, orders were anticipated to total over 1,000.[22] The Army filed a Nunn-McCurdy cost and schedule breach on 9 July 2008, when new cost estimates showed a 40% cost increase above initial estimates. In August 2008, the Army requested that Bell cease recruitment for the ARH-70 program pending the outcome of the review.[23]
On 16 October 2008, the Army's Acquisition Executive Office for Aviation directed that the ARH contract be terminated completely for the convenience of the government.[24] The cancellation was the result of the United States Department of Defense (DOD) not certifying the US$6.2 billion ARH-70 program to Congress. John Young, the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, cited the reason as excessive costs of the program which had increased over 70 percent with an estimated per-unit cost of US$14.5 million, up from US$8.5 million.[25]

Our 2020 MTV VMA predictions may be a bit biased, but we can explain
By Lia delos Reyes Lia delos Reyeson August 30, 2020
It's another year for the MTV Video Music Awards, one of the most celebrated music award shows worldwide. Despite the quarantine interrupting our normal activities such as going to concerts and music festivals, it was still a great year for the music industry since a lot of awesome releases happened this 2020. (Yes, 2020 wasn't a total b*tch.)
And because the members of the Preen team all have their own different taste and speciality, each of us have our own predictions as to who will win the different categories.
Artist of the Year
"The nominees for AOTY this year are an interesting crop—seriously, just look at their names. While I'm cheering on for Megan Thee Stallion, who just had a whopper of a hit with Cardi B and is emerging as a pop culture juggernaut, and Da Baby, mostly just because I'm still not over the fact that he did an admittedly middling collab with Lil Baby named 'Baby,' there's only one clear winner for AOTY.
Lady Gaga has never been named artist of the year (unless you count the niche genre categories, which I don't), which is absolute bonkers considering she's Lady Gaga. There's…really not much to debate over here. Who has the tracks, the lasting cultural legacy, the stage power, the range that Gaga has?" — Zofiya Acosta, associate editor
"Let's face it: TikTok definitely made an impact in the music industry this year. A lot of people not only got song lyrics stuck in their heads but dance moves as well. We could clearly see this pattern in MTV's Song of The Year nominees with strong contenders like Doja Cat's 'Say So,' Megan Thee Stallion's 'Savage' and Roddy Ricch's 'The Box.'
Aside from these, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's 'Rain On Me' is also such an iconic song with its cyber chic music video and poppin' makeup looks. Gaga's 'Chromatica' was indeed a cultural reset for 2020, but I have to go with my girl Megan with 'Savage' for SOTY. The song just screams power to the women and it's just so good that even Beyonce hopped in for a remix. Not only this, its animated music videos paid homage to the creator of the TikTok Savage Challenge.
And, personally, I think animation is underrated, like, not a lot of people do it enough ('cause maybe they think it's for children or something) so I'd love to see more music videos take on this platform. Big props to Megan and her team for this one." — Nadine Halili, content creator
Best K-pop
"MTV created the K-pop category because they know Korean artists would dominate otherwise but not everyone's ready for that convo. Anyway, my top 3 are 'Psycho,' '9 and Three Quarters' and 'On.'
Although 'Oh My God' seems to have a high production value, it isn't (G)I-DLE's strongest track. This is also true with EXO's 'Obsession' which boasts CG that had the boys looking every bit from an exoplanet. Monsta X's 'Someone's someone' gives me chills but their MV paled in comparison with busier contenders.
I didn't miss how BTS submitted their 'kinetic film manifesto' instead of their weird Noah's ark themed official MV for 'On.' The powerful choreography and the POC rep was chef's kiss so that was a good move. Coming-of-age shenanigans and magic are a great combo and since the TXT MV's are getting better, I bet they're going to be nominated next year too. But, I think Red Velvet got this in the bag. 'Psycho' went really viral because it's a hauntingly good song, the choreo had a lot of flair but a lot of people were still able to do covers and every detail of the MV is delicious." — Amrie Cruz, junior content creator
Push Best New Artist
"I'm sure it won't be a surprise that my money's on Doja Cat. Compared to the other nominees, you hear multiple songs from her on TikTok. As Nadine said, TikTok has made a huge impact on the music industry and I believe it's because people see it as a platform to show off their unique talents. It even brings out the inner choreographer of most people because of the different dance challenges on the app. One of the most popular ones is the #SaySoChallenge, which makes use of Doja Cat's single "Say So." And even if the singer never really danced in the music video, I think it's the fact that her songs are a bop that makes it easy for people to choreograph a challenge to it. I mean, her other single "Like That" is also a TikTok challenge." — Lia delos Reyes, junior content creator
"MTV's Video of the Year, the top prize of the night, has historically been a category wrought with fierce fan wars and hot debates on who should take home what was long considered as the most prestigious music video award of the year. In 2020, the nominees are titans in their own respective fields. Eminem, The Weeknd and Drake have been dominating airwaves and streaming with their fellow female nominees, while Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga are as big and bright as it can get for pop stars.
However, I don't think any of their videos can hold a candle to the sheer force of Gaga and Ariana's 'Rain On Me,' a juggernaut not just in sales and streams but also in its chokehold on the public's collective consciousness through its earworm hooks, stunning visuals, and impeccable timing. The song's message about dancing through the pain could not have come at a better time as months of isolation have dampened our spirits.
The video itself feels like a pop culture event, one that's rarely seen anymore as the world these days seemingly moves on from one trendy artist to the next, and rarely do they have staying power to become legends as Ariana and Gaga are. Showering might just never be the same after 'Rain On Me,' and we have two of this generation's biggest supernovas to thank.
Though MTV's monopoly as the reigning authority on music videos has waned in the recent decade, the stars, as always, are enough to give this award gravity in 2020." — Neal Alday, photographer/videographer
"Yes bias, but I'm just going to go for 'Rain On Me' because what's better than Ariana and Lady Gaga on Chromatica, with their hair flowing like a pair of anime heroines? NOTHING. Although I will give props to Travis Scott's video, which was a fun ride. The fun transitions and trippy concept made it enjoyable from start to finish." — Tricia Guevara, junior designer

Romney Video Reignites Battle Over 'Insider' Label
Politics Mar 2, 2012 9:34 AM EDT
Mitt Romney walks off of his campaign plane at Idaho Falls Regional Airport on March 1. Romney is campaigning in North Dakota, Idaho and Washington ahead of Super Tuesday. Photo by Getty Images.
With just a few days until Super Tuesday and on the eve of a caucus in Washington state, the presidential campaign returns to the question of who is the bigger insider.
ABC News on Friday morning went live with a not-before-seen video that it called "long-forgotten tape from the 2002 Massachusetts governor's race" that depicts Mitt Romney boasting about getting federal funds.
The ABC story that accompanied the footage led with this quote from Romney as he addressed the New Bedford Industrial Foundation in October 2002: "I am a big believer in getting money where the money is. … The money is in Washington." The video was "surreptitiously shot by Democratic opponents of Romney," ABC reports.
Romney continued, "I want to go after every grant, every project, every department in Washington to assure that we are taking advantage of economic development opportunities," a message that is quite different from what voters hear from the candidate on the trail today while he lauds himself as the only candidate who hasn't lived in Washington. It's his rivals Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, Romney says, who are the real D.C. insiders.
You can bet those Republicans will mention this video as they talk with voters about why they think they deserve the nomination.
The Friday morning news comes after Santorum's team cried foul over a last-minute 4-2 decision by Michigan Republican Party officials to award Romney both of the state's at-large delegates, a change in rules after Romney eeked out a narrow victory there Tuesday.
From the Free Press' story explaining what happened:
Saul Anuzis, a member of the credentials committee, said the party's rules were passed in early February to award the two at-large delegates to the statewide winner, but that a memo sent, in error, to the candidates' campaigns said the delegates would be distributed proportionately. "While we regret the error in the memo, it does not change what was voted on by the committee," Anuzis said. "This is much to do about nothing." Santorum spokesman Hogan Gidley called the delegate situation "The kind of backroom dealing, political thuggery that just cannot happen in America." "We never thought the Romney campaign would rig the outcome of the election by changing the rules after the vote," he added. "It's very clear the rules were not followed by the establishment so they could prop up their hand-picked candidate."
With 10 states ready to award more than 400 delegates on Tuesday, a change in one may not seem like the biggest deal. But as the hopefuls are collecting as many as they can to reach 1,144 delegates, every one counts.
That's one reason why Georgia is as important on the election calendar as Ohio. Should Gingrich, the former House speaker who represented the state in Congress, win big there next week, he'll take the lion's share of Georgia's 76 delegates.
But Professor Charles Bullock of the University of Georgia isn't sure Gingrich can crack 40 percent. Ray Suarez talked Thursday night with Bullock and John Geer, co-director of the Vanderbilt Poll at Tennessee's Vanderbilt University, about the first real test of the candidates in the South.
"I think he will be the leading candidate, but he may see Santorum creeping up on him," Bullock said of Gingrich. "And if Gingrich can't do well in Georgia, then I don't think there's any encore for him. I think maybe this will be the last of his nine lives."
Watch the segment here or below.
In other Gingrich news, a Texas tea party member on Friday morning announced a new pro-Gingrich super PAC. Brandon Todd issued a press release directing supporters to www.winningfreedom.org and www.newtgingrich360.com to make a difference in "the most important election of our lifetime."
OHIO POLL
After their Michigan slugfest, it appears Santorum and Romney are locked in a rematch in Ohio. Santorum leads Romney 35 to 31 percent in a poll released Friday by Quinnipiac University.
Gingrich captured the support of 17 percent of survey respondents, followed by Texas Rep. Ron Paul at 12 percent.
Santorum holds advantages over Romney among self-described conservatives (40 to 27 percent) and Tea Party supporters (42 to 25 percent). Romney, meanwhile, leads among moderates, 46 to 26 percent.
Given the narrow margin between the two leading contenders, and the fact that a third of respondents said they might change their mind by next Tuesday, it appears the battle in the Buckeye State is still up for grabs.
WHAT OHIO VOTERS ARE SEEING
While Northeast Ohio is a heavily Democratic part of the state, the region is still home to plenty of Republicans, and the GOP candidates and the super PACs supporting them are clearly going after those voters on the air.
The pro-Romney super PAC Restore Our Future had three different ads running during the 6 a.m. hour on Cleveland's local NBC affiliate. The spots included a positive one about Romney helping a former business partner find his missing daughter (a recycled Romney campaign ad from 2007), plus two attacking Santorum for being a Washington insider. "Twenty years in Washington changed Rick Santorum," a narrator says in one of the ads. The Romney campaign is taking a similar approach in its ad targeting Santorum.
Romney is under fire from both sides. The pro-Gingrich super PAC Winning Our Future has an ad up that uses clips from people saying they don't "trust" Romney and have trouble connecting with him. "Romney's not the type to pump his own gas," one woman says.
Big Labor is also going after Romney. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees is running an ad jabbing Romney for his opposition to the auto bailout.
As far as the news coverage itself, Romney and Santorum were briefly mentioned about 40 minutes into the hour, with the anchors noting that each had campaign events in Northeast Ohio on Friday.
Terence spent Thursday morning visiting the Columbus campaign headquarters of Romney, Santorum and Paul to get a sense of how much their ground operations had picked up in Ohio.
The morning started with a stop at Romney headquarters in a nondescript shopping plaza a few miles west of downtown Columbus, where a handful of volunteers were busily working to get the office set up after last week's grand opening. Reynoldsburg resident Les Davies, one of Romney's Ohio delegates and cousin of the candidate's wife, Ann, stopped in to check on the status of new yard signs and bumper stickers.
Romney spokesman Ryan Williams said the campaign had a "substantial" voter outreach effort underway, including home-based phone banking.
Santorum's Columbus operation is based out of a sprawling business park in the northeast part of the city. About a half dozen volunteers were set up at folding tables making calls.
At Paul's campaign headquarters, Mike Folker, a local radio personality, was the only one on the scene. He said the downtown office had been open for about two months and the effort was focused on phone banking and "sign bombing" high traffic areas around the city.
Columbus construction worker Rich Walker dropped by looking for a yard sign and a bumper sticker. He said he was drawn to Paul because "he has the most ambitious plan to cut spending" of all the GOP candidates.
ON BREITBART AND CANDIDATE PHOTOS
In the NewsHour's Daily Download segment Thursday, Jeffrey Brown (@jeffreybrown) talked with Howard Kurtz and Lauren Ashburn about Andrew Breitbart's legacy. The Daily Download team (@dailydload) also talked about how photos can humanize politicians.
Watch here or below.
2012 LINE ITEMS
Bloomberg's Hans Nichols writes that President Obama "told a gathering of Wall Street donors that Democrats can't unilaterally stop accepting money from big-dollar political- action committees, according to two people at the event." "Obama told about 80 donors at a fundraising dinner in New York yesterday that he didn't want to run for re-election at a disadvantage to Republicans, according to the people, who described the president's comments on condition of anonymity because the event was private," Nichols reports.
A new survey from the left-leaning Public Policy Polling finds Romney leading in Washington state with 37 percent to 32 percent for Santorum, 16 percent for Paul, and 13 percent for Gingrich, a reversal from a poll that found Santorum at 38 percent to Romney's 27 percent.
The Associated Press interviews GOP voters across the country and finds them weary of a long, drawn-out primary fight.
The Washington Post's Eli Saslow writes about Oklahoma's contest on Tuesday.
Vice President Joe Biden rapped Santorum's suggestion that it's snobbery to call on all Americans to get at least a year of vocational training or go to college, reports O. Kay Henderson of Radio Iowa. "I think there's an ideological divide between Rick Santorum and all of America on this. I don't think it's between the parties," Biden told her. "Look, I've been going college campuses and high schools all across America for the past six months talking about what the facts are. Six out of the 10 jobs over the next 10 years are going to require…either a certificate or a degree beyond high school. It's that simple."
The pro-Romney Restore our Future super PAC went after Santorum in a fundraising email as a "professional politician who has been part of the problem in government and has abandoned his conservative principles." The email announced a new site for attack ads, http://www.rickfacts.com/. Sound familiar? The PAC also used newtfacts.com.
NewsHour's Judy Woodruff (@judywoodruff) opines on the independent voters who helped propel President Obama to victory in 2008. "This year, there's good reason to believe those same voters who sided with Obama — rather than the 44 percent of independents who went with Sen. John McCain — will determine the outcome. First, it's safe to assume almost all self-described Republicans and Democrats will vote for their party's candidate. And it's almost as safe to assume that the McCain independents in 2008 will be reluctant to switch to Obama four years later," Judy writes.
The Obama campaign team has been using the GOP primaries to excite the base. The Virginia campaign is making a big push to register voters over the weekend, asking residents of nearby D.C. and Maryland to help out. DC for Obama, an unaffiliated group boosting the president, also is getting in on the action, writing supporters, "It's time to show what this movement is made of … every new voters who shows up to cast a ballot brings us one step closer to victory." In Massachusetts, the campaign deployed Gov. Deval Patrick to address Democratic house parties this week.

Obituary - Dr Ferdi Camisani
Dr Ferdi Camisani,
July 1939 – November 2020.
Ferdi Camisani was born outside Parma, Italy just a few weeks after the declaration of World War II
He was a student of the father of geostatistics, Georges Matheron, in Fontainebleau, France and together with Danie Krige, wrote some of the first papers on the application of geostatistics in South Africa.
During his long career in South Africa he worked with De Beers, Anglo American, the Atomic Energy Corporation, and Anglovaal.
Ferdi was a member of the Geostatistical Association of Southern Africa (GASA) and the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM). On his retirement from SAIMM activities in 2012 the President, Gordon Smith, acknowledged his contribution as follows.
Attendance of the CMMI meeting in 1997 which established a set of standard reporting definitions which became known as the Denver Accord and which still remain today the backbone of international reporting standards.
Chairpersonship, from its inception in 1996, of the Main Working Group which compiled the content for the first publication of the SAMREC Code in March 2000.
Participation in the CMMI committee which was responsible for the adoption of the definitions in the Denver Accord by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN-ECE) in its International Framework Classification for Reserves and Resources – Solid Fuels and Mineral Commodities.
Participation in October 2003 at the meeting in Reston VA that saw the formation of the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards (CRIRSCO).
Continued attendance, as a CRIRSCO representative, until May 2012, at the many sessions under the auspice of the Sustainable Energy Division of the UNECE. Notable among these activities was his membership of the Bureau for the Expert Group on Resource Classification, working on a classification framework for solid minerals and the oil and gas industry.
Continued representation of South Africa and the SAMREC Code on the CRIRSCO Committee from its inception in 2002 until 2012. This included meetings in Chile, China, Russia, and the UK where he gained the respect of the many people he came in contact with and in doing so enhanced the reputation of professionals in the SAIMM and in South Africa.
Representation of the SAIMM over many years, which included presentation of papers, at the Application of Computer and Operations Research in the Minerals Industry (APCOM) conference held every four years.
Lecturing at the University of Pretoria in Geostatistics, a field in which he was a recognized leader.
Ferdi was also recognized throughout the world by the many people he encountered as a true gentleman for whom nothing was too much trouble. He will be sadly missed and we all will be the poorer for his passing.
He is survived by his wife Lorraine and son Fernando.

2020 - the good, the bad, and the ugly
I was recently reminded that it is customary to reflect on the past 12 months in the December Journal. We live in a beautiful country with a wonderful climate and amongst South Africans who are usually able to laugh at themselves and handle life's challenges. One just needs to tap into social media to see evidence of this. This collective…
Diversity and Inclusion in the Minerals Industry (DIMI)
At the AGM, I spoke about why the SAIMM needs to adapt to a new and more modern mining industry. To this end, we have developed a strategy aimed at repositioning the SAIMM brand in the minds of our members, and indeed all of our stakeholders. There are six key components (or 'Pillars of Value') in our overall value proposition,…
Mining contributed almost 16% of South Africa's gross domestic product (GDP) in 1994, but this has since declined to about half that amount. The country has not benefitted enough from our industry, which has huge potential even when having to compete in an increasingly efficient global environment. There are many reasons for this, but I am now seeing encouraging changes…

Mikhail Yulevich Ashenbrenner (Russian: Михаил Юльевич Ашенбреннер) (September 21 (9 O.S. 1842  November 11, 1926) was a Russian revolutionary, and one of  the leaders of the Military Organisation of the Narodnaya Volya (People's Will), the group that carried out the assassination of the Tsar Alexander II.

Biography
Mikhail Ashenbrenner was born in Moscow into the gentry. His father was a russified German, who worked as a military engineer, his mother was the daughter of General Mikhail Naumov, a veteran of the 1812 war against the French. He studied with the First Moscow Cadet Corps, and was discharged in 1860, with the rank of lieutenant. As an officer, he and a group of comrades studied the natural sciences, and studied Feuerbach, Darwin, and Spencer. In 1864, he was deported to Turkestan for refusing to take part in suppressing the Polish Uprising against Russian rule. He lived in a remote part of Bessarabia until the outbreak of the Russo-Turkish War in 1877, and then in Kherson province.

From 1880, all his energy was devoted to organising revolutionary groups in the military. His work was assisted by the respect that officers had for him. In 1882, the central military circle in St Petersburg urged local circles to get actively involved in Narodnaya Volya. Ashenbrenner was delegated to go round the military circles across Russia, enlist correspondents for a military-revolutionary journal and recruit delegates for a congress of local groups, but while he was doing so, the military wing of Narodnaya Volya was eliminated by mass arrests, after being betrayed by the police informer, Sergey Degayev.

Ashenbrenner was arrested in March 1883, and was a defendant at the Trial of the 14, alongside Vera Figner and others, in September 1884. He was sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. He spent 20 years in the Shlisselburg Fortress, until his release on 20 September 1904. He then lived under police supervision in Smolensk. After the Bolshevik Revolution, he was allocated a place in Ilych Home for Revolutionary Veterans. His memoirs were published in the journal Byloe in 1906, and reissued as a separate publication with the title The Military Organisation of People's Will in 1942.

Learn how the Registrar Lock option works and in what way it will help you protect your domain.
All generic extensions and several country-code ones support a security lock option whose purpose is to hinder unsanctioned transfers of active domains. Many registry operators that oversee country-code Top-Level Domains that do not support this option are in the process of adopting it for the sake of security and for the convenience of the domain name registrants. A domain name can be transferred only on the condition that it is unlocked and only a person who has been given access to the account with the current registrar can do that. New domains are registered with the lock option enabled intentionally, so as to block any unauthorized transfer attempts. The lock option is one of the safety measures for controlling the transfer of active domains between domain name registrars that have been introduced over the years.
Registrar Lock in Cloud Hosting
Locking and unlocking a domain registered through our company is unbelievably easy. This can be done through the Hepsia Control Panel, which is included with our cloud hosting, and will take literally two mouse clicks. All your domain names will be displayed alphabetically in the Registered Domains section of the Hepsia Control Panel and next to those whose extensions support the registrar lock option, you will notice a padlock-like symbol. Click on it once and you'll see the domain name's current status. Click once more and you'll change its status. The update will propagate momentarily without the need for you or for us to do anything else for the status to be 'refreshed' on WHOIS lookup sites, so you can go ahead with the transfer process right away.

Would depend if you are using them in savory or sweet recipe. Just quickly oatmeal, nuts, seeds, etc. Might suggest you try google typing in "Grape Nuts+substitue".... "My parents used to serve this recipe as a dessert at the restaurant they owned when I was a child."
The Verdict. In terms of cost, I figure you're looking at about $2.80 in raw ingredients for seven cups/19 ounces of homemade cereal vs. $3.49 for six cups/24 ounces of the commercial version.... Pour the Grape-Nuts into a coffee grinder or food processor to break up the cereal into smaller pieces. Add the Grape-Nuts into a mixing bowl with the melted butter. Mix thoroughly so that the cereal is evenly covered in the butter.
Homemade Grape Nuts I began making this recipe to save cereal costs for our family of six. Everyone loves the hearty flavor that just can't be found in packaged cereals.

I have very vague memories of my mom making this bread (she loved baking all kinds of quick breads that didn�t require yeast in the recipe), and I believe she copied the recipe off the side of a Grape-Nuts cereal box many years ago.

Jorge II (: Giorgi II) (c. 1054 – 1112), de la dinastía Bagrationi, fue rey de Georgia de 1072 a 1089. Era hijo  y sucesor de Bagrat IV y su mujer Borena de Alania. Incapaz de tratar eficazmente con los constantes ataques Selyúcidas y abrumado por problemas internos en su reino, Jorge se vio forzado para abdicar a favor de su enérgico hijo David IV, con quien se mantuvo como co-gobernante nominal hasta su muerte en 1112. También ostentó los títulos altos títulos bizantinos de curopalates (c. 1060) y caesar (c. 1081).

Comienzos del reinado
La niñez de Jorge coincidido con la guerra civil entre su padre, Bagrat IV (r. 1027–1072), y el rebelde noble Liparit, que consiguió expulsar temporalmente a Bagrat al Imperio bizantino, y coronó a Jorge como rey en la Catedral de Ruisi entre 1050 y 1053, bajo la regencia de la hermana de Bagrat, Gurandukht. De hecho, Liparit se convirtió en señor de casi la mitad del reino de Georgia y la más poderosa dinastía. Hacia 1060, Bagrat IV había logrado asegurar el trono y Jorge fue nombrado heredero aparente, recibiendo el título de curopalates del emperador bizantino. En 1070, el príncipe Jorge, al frente de un combinado georgiano-alano, derrotó decisivamente al emir shaddádida de Arran, Fadl II, y asoló sus posesiones en Ganyá.

Invasiones selyúcidas

Jorge sucedió a su padre como Rey de Georgia a la muerte del mismo en 1072 y recibió el título de nobilissimus y más tarde de sebastos del emperador bizantino. Un año más tarde, afrontó una gran revuelta aristocrática dirigida por Niania Kvabulis-dze, Ivane Liparitis-dze, y Vardan de Svaneti. Aunque victorioso, el rey tuvo que comprar la lealtad de los rebeldes concediéndoles grandes territorios. Pronto, Georgia fue atacada otra vez por los Selyúcidas, un pueblo túrquico nómada, que resultaría ser una importante amenaza para el reinado de Jorge II. Tras la devastación en 1073 de Kartli (Georgia central) por parte del sultán Alp Arslan, Jorge rechazó con éxito una invasión mandada por un general turco bajo órdenes de sultán a cargo del Caucaso. El rey también aseguró la devolución formal de Tao Superior /Tayk (Thema de Iberia), una región fronteriza que había sido objeto de discusión entre Georgia y el Imperio bizantino a comienzos del siglo XI, por el gobernador bizantino, Gregorio Pacoriano, que empezó a evacuar la región poco después del desastre causado en 1071 por los selyúcidas sobre ejército bizantino en Manzikert. En esta ocasión, George fue investido con el título bizantino de caesar, recibió la fortaleza de Kars y fue puesto al frente de los límites orientales del imperio. Esto no ayudó a detener el avance selyúcida. En 1076, el sultán selyúcida Malik Shah I entró en Georgia y redujo muchos poblamientos a ruinas. Acosado por la presión túrquica, conocida en la historia georgiana como didi turkoba, o la Gran Invasión turca, de 1079/80 en adelante, Jorge tuvo que someterse a Malik-Shah para asegurar la paz y entregar un tributo anual. Jorge II prestó incluso apoyo militar a la campaña selyúcida para anexionarse el reino oriental de Kajetia, que había resistido durante mucho tiempo los intentos de anexión bagrátidas. Sin embargo, cansado de asediar el baluarte kajetio de Vezhini, Jorge abandonó la campaña al comenzar las nevadas, y se dirigió a los bosques de Ajameti para aliviar su decepción con la caza. Los auxiliares selýucidas levantaron el asedio y saquearon el fértil valle de Iori en Kajetia. Aghsartan I, rey de Kajetia, se sometió al sultán y en prueba de lealtad abrazó el Islam, obteniendo así la protección selyúcida contra las aspiraciones de Georgia.

Deposición
El carácter inconstante de Jorge II y su incompetencia política, junto con el yugo selýucida llevó al reino de Georgia a una profunda crisis que llegó a su apogeo con el desastroso terremoto que golpeó Georgia en 1088. En 1089, Jorge entregó la corona a su hijo de dieciséis años, el enérgico David. Este intercambio está envuelto en el misterio y es mencionado sólo de pasada en las crónicas georgianas. Todo lo que sabemos es que Jorge coronó a su hijo como rey con sus propias manos, tras lo que desaparece de las crónicas. Posiblemente, fue forzado por su nobles, en un golpe de Estado planeado por el poderoso ministro Obispo Giorgi Chkondideli, para que abdicara en favor de David. Jorge es mencionado en oraciones datadas en 1203 como "rey de reyes, y caesar de todo el Este y el Oeste", sugiriendo que aún estaba vivo y había recibido algunos títulos de su hijo reinante, aunque sin ejercer poder real.

Q: How to select from 2 different table and insert to 1 table I have a function is select from books table insert to the orders table.
Now I want to select from books and users table for insert to the orders table.
This is book table

This is the orders table

This is the users table

model
public function history($book_id){
$this->db->select('book_id,book_title,pickup,return');
$this->db->from('books');
$this->db->where('book_id', $book_id);

$query = $this->db->get();

if ( $query->num_rows() > 0 ) // if result found
{
    $row = $query->result_array();
    foreach($row as $values){
        $data = array(
            'book_id' => $values['book_id'],
            'title' => $values['book_title'],
            'pickup' => $values['pickup'],
            'return_time' => $values['return'],

        );
        $this->db->insert('orders', $data);
    }
    return true;
}
else{
    return false;
} }

A: You will join the tables like this
$this->db->join('users_table_name', 'users_table_name.id = books.user_id');

Everything else should work the same

A: for user_id u can get from session,
for example :
$data = [
        'book_id' => $values['book_id'],
        'user_id' => $this->session->userdata('session_name'),
        'title' => $values['book_title'],
        'pickup' => $values['pickup'],
        'return_time' => $values['return'],

Q: What is an escape room?
A: An escape room is a unique social experience where players work together to solve a series of challenges and puzzles within a limited amount of time in order to escape or complete an objective.
Q: I see that your rooms are similar to episodes in a television series or movie. Is there an order that I should follow?
A: It is not necessary to play our escape rooms in any particular order. Our rooms can be solved independently and do not require information from other rooms. Our suggestion would be to choose the room that most interests you and start there.
Q: how long does the game last?
A: Most of our escape rooms typically take 60 minutes to complete, however, A Nightly Reminder, our escape room for two participants lasts 30 minutes.
Q: is immersion escape rooms a franchise?
A: Immersion is not a franchise. We are a locally owned escape room company based in Charlottesville, Virginia, built by passionate puzzle designers and friends.
Q: how much does the game cost?
A: Our 60 minute escape rooms cost $25.00 per participant and our 30 minute escape room costs $15.00 per participant.
Q: Are there any age restrictions to play your rooms?
A: We do not have any age restrictions to play our rooms, however, some of our puzzles can be on the challenging side. We recommend players of ages 14 and up. We will require a participating adult to accompany any players under the age of 18.
Q: Do you sell gift vouchers?
A: Absolutely. You may purchase a gift voucher on our gifts page
Q: What if I want to play one of your escape rooms, but I do not have enough players to fill the room?
A: If your group does not fill all the available slots to one of our escape rooms, you may be paired with other players to aid in your escape. This is the social aspect of that game that makes it unique. However, if you would prefer to play without others, you may purchase all the available tickets for your preferred time slot.
Q: I would like to make a reservation for my team outside of your normal business hours. Is that possible?
A: Of course. We are available for private team building, student, or special events 7 days a week. Just contact us and we'll work with you to make arrangements and plan your Immersion experience.
Q: i made a reservation and my plans have changed. what is your cancellation policy?
A: We understand that plans change and unforeseen circumstances arise. If you are unable to make your reservation date or time, we will gladly change it to a date and time that best fits your schedule. If you are unsure of your plans, you also have the option to receive a gift voucher which will be valid for up to six months. Unfortunately, we will be unable to issue refunds for completed purchases.

Q: Loop through an array list to make a post request for a rest API dynamic I update an object. This object is an array which can have a length from one to five. This is my object ["max", "dog"].
Now a post method is to be called. It is so if the user has only 2 things filled in, only two things should be sent there. If 5 then 5 (see example for a better explanation.) Does anyone have an idea how best to set this up?
const tag = ["max", "dog"]
const updateInterest = () => {
    axios
      .post("...", {
        first1: max,
        first2: dog,
        // first3: ...,
        // first4: ...,
        // first4: ...,
      })
      .then((res) => {
        if (res.status === 200) {
          // API update interest
        }
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        console.log(error);
      });
  };

What I try
const tag = ["max", "dog"]
const updateInterest = () => {
    const object = "";
    tags.map((tag, index) =>{
      console.log(tag + " " + index)
      object =
        `first${index}`: `${tag}`,

  })
    axios
      .post("...", {
        object
      })
      .then((res) => {
        if (res.status === 200) {
          // API update interest
        }
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        console.log(error);
      });
  };

My loop doesn't really make much sense. How can I add this to an object so that it can be sent in later in an API?

A: You can use Object.fromEntries() to map an array of arrays to object, like in the following example:

const arr = ["max", "dog"];

const mapped = arr.map((el, i) => [`first${i+1}`, el]);

console.log(Object.fromEntries(mapped))

A: You can also use Array.prototype.reduce() to achieve the same thing:

const arr = ['cat', 'dog'];

const obj = arr.reduce((acc, cur, i) => ((acc[`first${i + 1}`] = cur), acc), {});

console.log(obj);

Reference: Convert Array to Object


Respect for opposing views (particularly those which enjoy significant popular support) is basic to democracy, a responsible media, free expression and development and progress of a nation. The reason for such respect for opposing views is the belief that the better opinion should triumph.
This is a principle which Christians in public (as well as in private) should follow and commend to others. God is a God of truth. Where truth prevails with love, the will of God prevails.
Hard debate and disputation is an integral part of the true democratic process. This must be accompanied by respect and toleration of the opinions sincerely held by others, based on reason and principle.
"I think we must stick the convict's badge on anyone and everyone who tries to undermine Marxism ... even if we don't go onto examining his case".
This tactic has been cultivated to a fine art by many in politics, media, education, special interest groups and other areas of political activity.
Examples of the Leninist tactic involve describing people or their views as reactionary, conservative, imperialist, women haters, anti-feminist, pigs, haters of homosexuals, racists, fascists, imperialists, conceited Coalition of privilege, troglodytes, neanderthals, drones, thugs, persons who are cold of eye and hard of heart, lunatic fringe academics, failed and frustrated ex-public service mandarins, simple minded avaricious millionaires, mercenaries of the money markets, born again political inquisitors, members of clandestine clubs, flag waving anthem singing Queen toasting phonies, economic fantasies, incoherent ravings, the black and sinister hand of a clandestine and that subversive force, politically an evil view, men of straw, branch of the Ku Klux Klan, persons with an obsessive desire to maximise profits through tax evasion.
There is in these tactics, a conspicuous failure to recognise the existence of a contrary opinion. There is an all-pervading belief that there is only one approach.
All this constitutes an attempt to deny the existence of an opposing view. It is indicative of the totalitarian mentality. The totalitarian proceeds on the basis that his view is right and true and it is the only view.
Hard criticism and strong arguments, provided they are honest and are supported by and based on reason and principle, are part of rational debate. Slogans, abuse and name calling without reasons are not.
The level of debate in public life in Australia has degenerated terribly. Argument by abuse, overly vigorous assertions, cant phrases, innuendo, name calling, denunciations (attacking the man rather than playing the ball, to use sporting parlance) are extremely common.
This serves as a substitute for rational argument and an avoidance of entering into serious debate with an opponent's rationally presented arguments.
This type of language and debate has in past in western democracies been associated with extreme elements in the political system. The problem is that today it is part of mainstream politics. The Prime Minister, Premiers, Ministers of the Crown, Judges and other public figures hurl abuse and denunciations at their opponents without resorting to rational argument.
The media follows suit—and are critical of such tactics only when they are indulged in by those whose views are politically incorrect.
If people who may be deemed to be politically incorrect use the tactic described above, the media may seize on the content and provide scathing criticism. They would not do so if the tactic was used by the politically correct.
Paul Keating's use of the above tactics receives no more than very occasional criticism, unless it offends the political correct. Indeed Paul Keating frequently uses the tactic. He is seen by the media as winning political arguments when he has barely related to the views and perspectives of the opponent. He wins by abuse and denunciation.
An alternative to the Leninist tactic also common in media and politics involves ignoring politically incorrect views an policies. The media provide no exposure. They pretend such views do not exist and impose a form of censorship.
The ABC, the public affairs television and print media (national and metropolitan) which set the agenda of public debate in Australia have miserably failed to focus on the abusive nature of argument indulged in by public figures with politically correct views. Some in the media use the same tactics. The media, however, are quick to pounce on the politically incorrect when they indulge in rhetoric, unfair or extreme comment, and even when they are arguing rationally and legitimately.
The views of the moderates as well as the extremes of the "politically incorrect" spectrum are ridiculed or ignored by the media. By comparison the extremes of the politically correct spectrum are given great latitude. The activities of politically correct protest groups receive wide publicity in the media. Criticism is minimal.
Sections of the public affairs media in Australia pretend to be impartial in disseminating the truth but are overwhelmingly biased in favour of "politically correct" views and perspectives. The ABC is funded by taxpayers' money and therefore has a duty to fairly present the competing views and perspectives (particularly those which have a significant following). The privately funded media has a right to express partisan views. However independence and commitment to truth and standards are not common.
A popular view about the media is that editorial content is controlled by media proprietors. It is in fact largely controlled by the editors and presenters, the overwhelming majority of whom in the ABC and the national and metropolitan Parliamentary press galleries and TV media are left of centre, politically correct and antagonistic to liberal, conservative and traditional views and perspectives. This formulation excludes from its scope journalists outside the press galleries, radio and the regional media.
There is a connection between the state of the public affairs media and the relative absence of informed, fair and balanced comment. The chief offenders in this respect are Liberal and National party MPs who do not have the guts or the guile to stand up to the media. The media control the agenda of debate and decision making in Australia and by and large the Coalition functions within that agenda.
Some of the politically incorrect views which are attacked or ignored enjoy significant popular support. Many values of the people studies demonstrate widespread support for basic moral and family values — but these are not held in high regard in sections of government, education media and special interest groups which dominate decision making and receive publicity in the media.
The core of the values and institutions which were responsible for the development of western and Australian civilisation are not also not adequately respected. But there is some evidence of a shift in attitudes.

Q: How to suppress a specific warning sent by cron daemon to email? DEMONSTRATION (OR STRAIGHT TO THE REAL QUESTION SECTION)
I have a lynis script that I use to scan my server. This script is not important to demonstrate but here is the script anyway: https://gitlab.com/sofibox/maxicron/-/blob/master/usr/local/maxicron/lynis/maxinis
This script runs perfectly and doesn't output any errors when running it manually like this through terminal:
./maxinis manual --cronjob

I also will receive an email about the scan
But, when I run this script via cronjob at specific time like this:
06 21 * * *     root    /usr/local/maxicron/lynis/maxinis cron --cronjob > /dev/null

It also run perfectly, send an email but I got an extra email from Cron Daemon with 3 warning outputs like this:

THE REAL QUESTION IS HERE:
My question is, based on the 3 warning messages from the picture above, I got cron daemon email warning. How do I suppress the second line of the warning and keep the rest output sent by Cron Daemon ?
The second line of the output is:
# Warning: iptables-legacy tables present, use iptables-legacy to see them

I tried using this grep -v method like this in the crontab but doesn't seems to work:
06 21 * * *     root    /usr/local/maxicron/lynis/maxinis cron --cronjob > /dev/null | grep -v '# Warning: iptables-legacy tables present, use iptables-legacy to see them'

A: The reason grep isn't working is that the messages are going to stderr, not stdout, so grep is never seeing them.  That's why you're getting an email even after sending stdout to /dev/null.  You can filter stderr like this:
somecommand > /dev/null 2>( grep -v 'unwanted error' 1>&2 )


I missed out the opener which was Ottawa's Watters Brothers because I was at the Avant-Garde bar to see Jill Zmud.
I got there just in time to see Telefoto play.
Their is electro-rock alternative music.
It was a interesting set to hear.
Lastly it was Ketch Harbour Wolves time to perform.
It was great seeing them live again.
But it was a contrast from the night before where Said The Whale played and the place was packed.
There were decent amount of people at Zaphods.
The band played materials from the debut album "Dead Calm Horizon" and new materials from the upcoming new album.
It was a mix of high rocking to mellow music.
Overall it was a great rocking set the band put on.
Have to say thanks to all the members of Ketch Harbour Wolves.

With summer vacations just around the corner, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health would like to remind county residents to be health-conscious while swimming and avoid recreational water illnesses.
"We want to encourage people to enjoy the great beaches, lakes, water parks, and swimming pools that Los Angeles County has to offer in the healthiest way possible,' said Jonathan E. Fielding, MD, MPH, Director of Public Health and Health Officer. "That means taking precautions to ensure that you, your friends or family don't get sick from germs that are normally found in lakes and the ocean. Try not swallow water while swimming or playing; do shower before entering a pool or spa; and practice good hygiene when visiting public swimming pools."
Contact with germs in recreational waters can cause recreational water illnesses (RWI). Diarrheal illnesses are most commonly reported and may be due to parasites and bacteria such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, or E. coli O157. Symptoms can include diarrhea, bloating, cramping, and nausea.
* Swimmers, including children, who have diarrhea should never enter public water areas.
* Toddlers should use swim diapers and the diaper should be checked often. If it needs to be changed, this should be done in the restroom and not near the water.
* Swimmers should wash their hands after using the toilet, or after changing a child's diaper.
* Swimmers, including children, should practice good hygiene by showering before entering the water.
* Children should be taught to not swallow water either in swimming pools, in the ocean or in a lake.
Anyone with a pool or spa should routinely disinfect them using chlorine or an equivalent product. They should also use a filter to screen out solids.

Q: "java.io.IOException: Invalid secret key format" when opening JCEKS key store with Oracle Java 8 JRE 172 I am getting the following exception when I try to open JCEKS type key store with with Oracle Java 8 JRE 172 on Windows. This worked fine with earlier versions of the JRE:
INFO: ObjectInputFilter REJECTED: null, array length: -1, nRefs: 1, depth: 1, bytes: 70, ex: n/a
[...call stacks omitted to protect the innocent...]
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Invalid secret key format
        at com.sun.crypto.provider.JceKeyStore.engineLoad(JceKeyStore.java:856)
        at java.security.KeyStore.load(Unknown Source)
[...]

This looks very much like JDK-8202506 but I use Java 8 and I get null in the initial INFO message.
Is this the same issue?
It seems to me the JDK-8202506 issue is currently not fixed in any public JRE release. Am I right?
UPDATE 1
This looks similar and they also have no solution: ATLAS-2642
UPDATE 2
For some reason, Equinox fails to see the com.sun.crypto.provider.SealedObjectForKeyProtector class after the upgrade, even though it is clearly in the JRE that comes with the new JDK:
BundleClassLoader[foo.bar.baz.crypto].loadClass(com.sun.crypto.provider.SealedObjectForKeyProtector) failed.

    at com.sun.crypto.provider.JceKeyStore.engineLoad(JceKeyStore.java:850)
    at java.security.KeyStore.load(KeyStore.java:1445)

UPDATE 3
The class SealedObjectForKeyProtector.class is somehow different from the rest of the classes in the sunjce_provider.jar. When we try to decompile it with JD-GUI, it fails with internal error, unlike the rest of the classes:

A: I meet this issue these days. And per my troubleshooting, it is caused by the different return value of this method:
sun.misc.VM.latestUserDefinedLoader()

Previously (before 8u171), this method returns sun.misc.Launcher$ExtClassLoader, while it returns application's classloader after upgrade. In ObjectInputStream, both class loader can load com.sun.crypto.provider.SealedObjectForKeyProtector successfully, that's simply because ExtClassLoader is the parent of application's class loader (or, parent's parent). However, once SealedObjectForKeyProtector is loaded by application's class loader, it's class loader no longer equals to ExtClassLoader.
On the other hand, within com.sun.crypto.provider.JceKeyStore, unlike ObjectInputStream, SealedObjectForKeyProtector is always loaded by ExtClassLoader. Thus below check in JceKeyStore.java:932 will fail due to class doesn't equal:
932            if (info.serialClass() != SealedObjectForKeyProtector.class))
934                return Status.REJECTED;

Then, we will get below log and an IOException eventually:
ObjectInputFilter REJECTED: class com.sun.crypto.provider.SealedObjectForKeyProtector
Solution: make sure class com.sun.crypto.provider.SealedObjectForKeyProtector is not loaded by ContextClassLoader by certain configuration. Details depend on the ContextClassLoader. For example, for org.powermock.core.classloader.MockClassLoader, the concrete solution is adding below annotation to involved test classes:
@PowerMockIgnore("com.sun.*")

A: I have done a complete analysis about the issue and debugged through the code part that involves in JCEKS keystore. Whenever the application uses custom class loader then you will face the issue for sure, if using JCEKS keystore from older java versions than JDK 8 Update 151.
 private static class DeserializationChecker implements ObjectInputFilter {
    private static final int MAX_NESTED_DEPTH = 2;

    @Override
    public ObjectInputFilter.Status
        checkInput(ObjectInputFilter.FilterInfo info) {

        // First run a custom filter
        long nestedDepth = info.depth();
        if ((nestedDepth == 1 &&
                    info.serialClass() != SealedObjectForKeyProtector.class) ||
                (nestedDepth > MAX_NESTED_DEPTH &&
                    info.serialClass() != null &&
                    info.serialClass() != Object.class)) {
            return Status.REJECTED;
        }

        // Next run the default filter, if available
        ObjectInputFilter defaultFilter =
            ObjectInputFilter.Config.getSerialFilter();
        if (defaultFilter != null) {
            return defaultFilter.checkInput(info);
        }

        return Status.UNDECIDED;
    }
}

In the above code from JceKeyStore.class, the filter info will always be null, so   info.serialClass() != SealedObjectForKeyProtector.class check will fail. The class loading delegation doesnot happening as expected in case of custom class loader like Equinox - Eclipse plugin.
There is a two step solution

*

*Firstly upgrade the keystore from JCEKS to PKCS12 as mentioned in the JDK 151 https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8u151-relnotes-3850493.html  under  Notes: Better keystore handling topic. For most cases this will solve the issue. Further access the keystore with keystore type value PKCS12 after changes.

*Make the classes from sun_jce provider get loaded earlier even before your custom class loaders scope. Use those configuration to make your custom class loader delegate the class loading of sun_jce jars to ExtClassLoader. For example : By using Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: ext  in the META-INF of eclipse plugin projects.

A: I am currently working with Oracle JRE Support on this and have a private bug opened. Information I got so far:

*

*It's not the same as JDK-8202506.

*Yes it's a classloading issue on SealedObjectForKeyProtector with Equinox.

Solutions:
A workaround is to add the following line into the OSGi bundle MANIFEST.MF.
Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: ext
I personally verified this workaround with JRE 1.8_181 and it seems working.
I was also told that for Java 9, a JVM parameter -Dosgi.compatibility.bootdelegation=true can do the job (w/o the need to update MANIFEST.MF) but I don't have a Java 9 environment to verify it. Appreciate if someone can try it and let us know the result.
