Q: How to translate a pyomo constraint to an rule expression? I am learning pyomo and working with a toy example, more specifically I would like to understand how to build an expression constraint rule with Pyomo and ultimately convert them into a decorator form - I have the following model that is working and produce the expected output.
from pyomo.environ import *

L = {"s": 3, "j": 5, "f": 8}
B = {"s": 2, "j": 5, "f": 8}
C = {"s": 2, "j": 3, "f": 4}
P = {"s": 3, "j": 5, "f": 7}

limit_b = 325
limit_l = 400

model = ConcreteModel()

model.PACKAGES = Set(initialize=L.keys())

model.x = Var(model.PACKAGES, within=NonNegativeIntegers)

model.value = Objective(
    expr=sum((P[i] - C[i]) * model.x[i] for i in model.PACKAGES), sense=maximize
)

model.L_cst = Constraint(
    expr=sum(L[i] * model.x[i] for i in model.PACKAGES) <= limit_l
)

model.ballon_cst = Constraint(
    expr=sum(B[i] * model.x[i] for i in model.PACKAGES) <= limit_b
)

opt = SolverFactory("cbc")
results = opt.solve(model, tee=True)
model.pprint()
print("Objective value:", model.value())

From this code, I would like to use expressions and pyomo Sets however I cannot convert the code in the correct way.
from pyomo.environ import *

model = ConcreteModel(name="Profit")

# Define sets
model.k = Set(initialize=["s", "j", "f"], doc="Types of package")
model.b = Set(initialize=[2, 5, 8], doc="B")
model.l = Set(initialize=[3, 5, 8], doc="L")
model.c = Set(initialize=[2, 3, 4], doc="C")
model.p = Set(initialize=[3, 5, 7], doc="P")

limit_B = 325
limit_L = 400

model.x = Var(model.k, within=NonNegativeIntegers)

def obj_rule(model):
    return sum((model.p[i] - model.c[i]) * model.x[i] for i in model.k)

model.object = Objective(rule=obj_rule, sense=maximize)

def max_L_per_month_rule(model):
    return sum(model.l[i] * model.x[i] for i in model.k) <= limit_L

model.max_L_per_month = Constraint(model, rule=max_L_per_month_rule)

def max_B_per_month_rule(model):
    return sum(model.b[i] * model.x[i] for i in model.k) <= limit_B

model.max_B_per_month = Constraint(
    model, rule=max_B_per_month_rule
)

opt = SolverFactory("cbc")
results = opt.solve(model, tee=True)
model.pprint()
print("Objective value:", model.value())

Can someone help me and explain the process?

A: The problem in your constraints is that you are passing the model as the first argument. Positional arguments in Constraint components are assumed to be indexing sets. Your constraint is not indexed so the correct way to declare it using a rule would be:
model.max_L_per_month = Constraint(rule=max_L_per_month_rule)

I recommend taking a look at the online documentation for examples of declaring constraints using rules and the Pyomo workshop slides for an overview on the decorator notation


Restoration of this turn-of-the-century museum/mansion was completed after several owners and a long period of vacancy and neglect had greatly damaged the fabric of the house, especially the interior finishes and artwork. Through exhaustive research, investigation and testing, the rich influence of the Arts and Crafts movement on much of the interior structure was uncovered and restored or re-created. The award-winning restoration was phased over several years to accommodate financing.

Colts Daily Notebook: Colts' Tackling Much Improved So Far
Colts.com Writer
INDIANAPOLIS — One of the main priorities for Matt Eberflus upon being hired to be the defensive coordinator of the Indianapolis Colts earlier this year was to find players who could hustle to the ballcarrier and bring him to the ground.
It may seem simple, but sound tackling is something not every NFL defensive unit can claim as a strength year in and year out.
The Colts, specifically, have struggled in this area the last few seasons; oftentimes a play that could've been stopped for a small to moderate pickup broke into a huge gain simply because the defense wasn't sound in its tackling techniques.
But through two games so far this season, it seems as though Eberflus' approach in this area is paying off.
The Colts not only visually appear to be better, but Pro Football Focus has the Indy defense ranked as the top tackling unit in the entire NFL, giving them a grade of 88.2 in that area — which is almost six points better than the second-place Carolina Panthers.
In fact, PFF has the Colts ranked as their sixth-best defensive unit overall through the first two weeks of the season, assigning them a grade of 77.0, only trailing the Chicago Bears (85.8), the Los Angeles Rams (85.0), the Washington Redskins (84.6), the Cincinnati Bengals (81.6) and the Baltimore Ravens (77.9).
Always a tough grader, Eberflus said Tuesday he's been mostly pleased with his unit's performance when it came to tackling, but feels there's still tons of work to be done to be better.
"I think it's OK. I think we can improve," Eberflus told reporters in his weekly press conference. "We have to work on our angles. There are too many times where you see in the games that we are over shooting the ball. So we have to definitely work on our angles to the football as a unit. So that's one of the biggest things that we'll emphasize this week."
Having the league's leading tackler through two weeks certainly helps in this area.
Rookie linebacker Darius Leonard has been a tackling machine so far, registering an NFL-best 27 stops combined in Weeks 1 and 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals and the Washington Redskins. Leonard had 18 tackles (15 solo) alone in Sunday's 21-9 win in Washington.
But elsewhere, the Colts seem to be putting themselves in better position overall to make plays. Against the Redskins, Indianapolis utilized a dime-heavy defensive look, getting more speed on the field, but not losing much in the way of tackling ability.
Eberflus primarily utilized Clayton Geathers as his dime linebacker, and the safety, who played 27 snaps in the box, according to PFF, finished with 11 tackles on the day — only second to Leonard.
That oftentimes left Matthias Farley (25 snaps in the secondary) and Malik Hooker lined up deep at safety.
The key now for the Colts is to figure out a way to keep the momentum going against the defending Super Bowl champs.
Indianapolis on Sunday travels to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles, who will see the 2018 debut of quarterback Carson Wentz. Wentz, of course, was putting in an MVP-caliber season last year when he suffered a torn ACL late in the season, and backup Nick Foles was able to pick up the pieces from there.
And while Sunday's game will only be about 9 1/2 months since Wentz suffered his knee injury, Eberflus — formerly the linebackers coach and passing game coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys — knows just how dangerous the quarterback can be.
"He is just able to extend plays," Eberflus said. "He is so strong in the pocket. That's where he is able to extend a lot like a lot of the bigger quarterbacks who have played in the league. They can stay on their feet and they can stay alive. They can ride the pocket and make those throws so that's what he's been able to do. … He is obviously an excellent player and a big challenge for our defense."

I spent my winter vacation in Morocco – a lovely and exotic destination made more compelling by the fact that it is a Peace Corps country. As we enjoyed the sun on the beach, the flavorful food, the architectural splendor, the artfully placed tiles, my traveling companions and I had to continually resist comparing our PC experience with what we imagined a PCV's in Morocco would be.
As I reflected in my own comment on the blog, the grass may seem greener elsewhere when gazed upon from afar, but then again we may not realize why the grass is so green (when desert surrounds it) and whose playing ball on that particular field….
I like your comment. As a gay RPV there are many times I wonder if could have been more productive if I were straight. The Lesotho culture is that boys will be boys but you are not a man until you are married. The hierarchy is Married men, Women, and then children. Women were minors so they are not really respected, or they have to really be exceptional to earn a little respect. As an outsider, I was treated better than if I were native born. The odd outsider. I would walk out of a restaurant if the attendant stopped serving when another man entered the restaurant after me to serve him first. Some of the women PCV said I over reacted. Returning home, I am in the middle of gays fighting for the right to marriage. So, I left an America where I thought the American culture of, "roll up your sleeves and get the job done" superseded the culture that gays are not equals and I came home to a country that is just not ready to make that leap. In America, being shunned from church is very effective way to shame. It is very difficult to be treated like a leper. I had accomplishments that I am proud of in Lesotho. I just wonder how much more I could accomplish there and here if I were straight.

Did 9/11 Change How Evangelicals See Muslims?
A brief history of a complicated relationship.

This year marks 20 years since 19 men hijacked four planes, driving two of the aircraft into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and one into a field in Pennsylvania, after several of the passengers fought back. The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people and left 25,000 people injured and were organized by Osama bin Laden, who used his faith as justification for the attacks. Several days after September 11, 2001, President Bush addressed the country:
These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. And it's important for my fellow Americans to understand that.
The English translation is not as eloquent as the original Arabic, but let me quote from the Koran, itself: In the long run, evil in the extreme will be the end of those who do evil. For that they rejected the signs of Allah and held them up to ridicule.
The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don't represent peace. They represent evil and war.
When we think of Islam we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. Billions of people find comfort and solace and peace. And that's made brothers and sisters out of every race.
Under the Bush administration, the US initiated the "War on Terror" which carried out a number of military inventions around the world to fight Islamic extremism, which included invading and occupying two majority Muslim nations, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Of course, all of this political rhetoric and direct action had significant consequences for how the country and church engaged Muslims domestically and internationally.
Thomas Kidd is the author of American Christians and Islam: Evangelical Culture and Muslims from the Colonial Period to the Age of Terrorism (Princeton University Press, 2008) and works at Baylor University where is a distinguished professor of history, the James Vardaman endowed professor of history and the associate director of Institute for Studies of Religion. His most recent book is Who Is an Evangelical?: The History of a Movement in Crisis.
Kidd joined global media manager Morgan Lee and executive editor Ted Olsen to discuss how American evangelicals interacted with Muslim before 9/11 and what has changed since.

Highlights from Quick to Listen: Episode #280
Starting with the Bush speech, do you find anything remarkable about what Bush says here? What were your thoughts then and how do you look at it now?
Thomas Kidd: Bush is a fascinating character on religion, both because of his own evangelical conversion experience, but also because of his relative moderation on Islam itself. That speaks to a different Republican Party 20 years ago.
I don't think his views about Islam would be warmly received by Republican Party today or by many evangelicals. Bush also reflected ambivalence about how to react to Islam and Muslims in the wake of 9/11 that I find understandable. 9/11 demonstrated that Islam has a serious problem with radical jihadism in certain segments of the global Muslim community, but Bush's inclination to want to reassure people that the majority of Muslims are not jihadists, are not terrorists is the right one too. I tend to contrast Bush's speech and there were also times where he talked about Muslims and Christians worshiping the same God, which became a live, renewed debate after 9/11, whether that's theologically true or not that Muslims and Christians worship the same thing.
But he also said, I think on September 20th in his address to Congress, when he first began to talk about Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, I think the most famous line of that speech when he talked about how freedom and fear and justice and injustice, two or three pairings, like that had always been at war and he said, God is not neutral on these questions. Again, I found that comprehensible when he said that, but I also thought that's a sort of a more religious absolutist kind of approach to what just happened that is a little bit in tension with his admirable ways to these trying to think the best of the world Muslim community.
So even in himself, he reflects a sort of tension and ambivalence that many Christians, especially in America, felt about how to react to Muslims after 9/11.
Ted Olsen: There was some controversy, even back then with some of his emphases of Islam being a religion of peace. CT ran some pieces about that. Questions about whether the God of Muhammad is the father of Jesus. There was that kind of tension about whether the president of the United States should be the person defining what Islam is and is not about. I guess there are still some aspects of that, but I guess that has changed with people becoming more familiar with Muslims.
Was there an aspect where earlier presidents, political leaders had an aspect of explaining Islam or Muhammadism that would have been called to the American public? Was there familiarity with tenants of Islam and what Islam was about?
Thomas Kidd: There was talk about Islam, of course, throughout all of American history, going back to the earliest colonial period, but a lot of that, as you would expect, was based on stereotypes, and so forth. There had been a growing familiarity before 9/11, with the problem of Islamist terrorism, concern for instance about the Iranian revolution of 1979 and how the attack on the American embassy, the hostage crisis resulted from that, that certainly 9/11 was because of the pain and deaths and suffering and then the wars that at least indirectly resulted from 9/11 brought Islam to an unprecedented level of American and specifically American Christian consciousness.
The Christian community was somewhat divided as you saw it even in Bush's tension over this issue between more charitable readings and then the more inflammatory and stereotypical readings.
To give an overview, how much experience did Americans and especially American leaders have with Muslims. Was it theoretical or actual?
Thomas Kidd: It was both. Part of the reason I wrote the book was that on a personal level 9/11 made me newly interested and sensitized to the question of Islam and American history as never before. Before 9/11 I think I probably had seen references to Islam and colonial American documents and so forth. It wasn't quite as much of interest of mine as it would be after 9/11. So, part of the reason I wrote the book was just to answer the question about, what did American Christians in particular know and think that they knew about Islam over the long period of American history?
It turns out that in the colonial period, for instance, there were biographies of Muhammad that were usually quite polemical, anti-Muslim biographies, probably the most popular one was called The True Nature of Imposture, Fully Displayed in the Life of Mahomet.
Muhammad is in this reading an imposter, fake, and charlatan. They would talk about the tricks that he would play, that he would train a pigeon to pick peas out of his ear, or like the Holy Spirit was speaking into his ear, all kinds of rumors and stories, apocryphal things about Muhammad's life.
Who was the author and what type of interest did they have in writing a book like that?
Thomas Kidd: The author of that book was a man named Humphrey Prideaux, who was an Anglican minister in England, but it was popular like many books. It was published in England but circulated widely in America.
But you could see more broadly that it became almost ubiquitous that people in the 1700s in England and America when they would refer to the prophet Muhammad, would call him an imposter, whether they were citing the book or not. It was an apologetics book for Christianity. There was growing interest at that time in world religions. There was exposure, in the 1680s, the Ottomans had been defeated at the gates of Vienna. There was a growing awareness, the military and cultural issue about the Ottomans and other Muslim groups, and there was an interest in the contrast between Christianity and Islam that prompted Prideaux's book, but other ones like it. There were lots of Europeans and also increasingly Americans who were dealing with the threat posed by the Barbary pirates coming out of North Africa, who just made a mockery of European and American naval power for centuries.
Their business was taking European and American ships captive and taking hostages of the sailors and stealing their cargo and ransoming the hostages in particular and putting pressure on them to convert to Islam. That issue probably became the most popular topic in pop literature at the time for Europeans and Americans to read. There was an endless number of books about my time among the pirates. Sometimes these were actual people who had been held hostage by the Barbary pirates and it just worked well on a pop literature level, but it also shaped people's impressions about what Islam was. Almost invariably, these would pick the Muslim pirates and captors as just exceptionally cruel, that they were trying to get all their prisoners to convert to Islam. But all the converting required was confessing that there is one God and Muhammed is his prophet.
So, they portray Islam as being very nominal and very cruel. These sorts of things certainly shaped American Christians' impressions of Islam for centuries.
There was also a mission's enthusiasm for Muslims, or at least in that region of the world that emerges in the early 1800s. Is that connected to the anxiety about Barbary pirates and evangelical enthusiasm for going to hard places or is something else at work in the missions drive to the Middle East or to North Africa or some of those regions?
Thomas Kidd: It's indirectly connected in the sense of raising awareness or at least impressions that American Christians have about Islam and the case of the Barbary pirates.
But the mission's movement is a broader movement that's emerging in the 1790s, early 1800s, out of a sense that Protestants had failed to get behind any kind of serious international missions movement. Much in contrast to the Catholic church that had been working on evangelizing, for instance, Native Americans for centuries, while Protestants in America, weren't doing much about that.
Some of the missions started to add Americans or people like Adoniram Judson who were going to Burma. This was a global initiative that tried to include at least nominally outreach to the Middle East and Muslim areas elsewhere. That does attract disproportionate amounts of attention in the missionary literature in Britain and America.
From the beginning of the missions movement, the Muslim world is identified as perhaps the hardest nut to crack as it were in the international missions movement. Part of that is that the Ottoman empire had legal barriers against evangelism to Muslims; it was illegal to directly evangelize Muslims.
Was it also true for the British Empire? Did they also have laws against converting citizens of the British Empire to Islam?
Thomas Kidd: No, they didn't have legal restrictions against it and for instance, there would be stories about European or American Christians being converted by the Barbary pirates because of the pirates saying they would set them free or treat them better if you convert. So, some of the Barbary captivity narratives would say things like, "There was a Catholic sailor who decided to convert to Islam, but the Protestant sailors were very brave." They would bring in these kinds of stereotypes, anytime they could, but there were no restrictions. There was derision towards Protestants or Catholics who would convert to Islam, but not legal restrictions.
The Ottomans banned that Muslims from converting, but also just even proselytizing Muslims. What ended up happening is that British or American missionaries in the Ottoman empire often ended up working among Eastern Orthodox Christians, who they didn't consider to be converted, believing Christians.
They would set up schools, some of which were enormously influential like the American University in Beirut. Places like that that ended up being among the leading universities in a lot of the Muslim world were set up by missionaries. So, they said, "We can proselytize among these Eastern Orthodox Christians and we can do education and we can have a witness, as well as cultural influence."
They found that it was very difficult, both legally, but also personally, to do much evangelism among Muslims and that remained the case certainly through the early 20th century. So, there was more attention given to Muslim missions in the 1800s, but not much fruit came from it in terms of Muslim conversions.
When did the first Muslim immigrants arrive in the US and how did they start to change the perception of Muslims by the church in the US?
Thomas Kidd: There were Muslim immigrants or at least Muslim-influenced immigrants from the earliest colonial period in America. But the problem is that most of them were African, and they arrived in America as enslaved people. The vast majority of those were Africans coming to America, mostly as slaves had absolutely no Christian background at all and if they had the influence of a monotheistic religion, it was often Islam, not Christianity. Some of them had some Catholic background, but it was at least as common that they would have Muslim influences in West Africa, from Muslim missionaries operating in West Africa.
Those were the first Muslim immigrants to America, but our records of them are, as you would guess, sparse to say the least and they made very little impact on the way that the white Christians were thinking about Islam in America. When you get to the mid-1800s, you start to see very small numbers of immigrants from the Muslim world, but also African-Americans and certain white Americans who would convert to Islam for various reasons.
Some of those people started to write books, apologetics for Islam, one sort of odd character; Alexander Russell Webb was a white American who converted to Islam, and he ended up making a pretty big difference about the spectacle of a white American who converts to Islam in the late 1800s.
He influenced things like the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893. By that point, there was growing interest in academic circles about world religions and studying world religions objectively for more scientific purposes, to understand these religions on their terms.
So that starts to shape more of the academic and not necessarily Christian discussion of Islam in America, but the number of Muslim immigrants to America overall was quite small until 1965. When as you all know, there was a revision to American immigration law that for a variety of reasons means that there was going to be a much greater influx of immigrants from the Muslim majority world from the Middle East, some, but definitely from places like Pakistan.
Talk about the Nation of Islam. How do evangelicals begin to engage with that?
Thomas Kidd: The Nation of Islam is again an African-American-led movement coming out in the 1920s, 1930s in Midwestern cities, especially Detroit. There are a number of Pan-African nativists types of movements going on that are like the nation of Islam, but the Nation of Islam is distinctive in the fact that it portrays itself as a sort of African African-American brand of Islam. Traditional Muslims do not regard the nation of Islam as an Orthodox form of Islam. Most famously in the 1950s, you get to the conversion of Malcolm X to the nation of Islam and he becomes their most charismatic and articulate advocate. They also attract celebrity converts like Muhammad Ali and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Malcolm X by the mid-1960s puts the Nation of Islam very much into the American consciousness of at least a form of Islam that is very tied up with issues about race.
That's a time of great upheavals in America about racial issues and inequality in the Civil Rights movement. Whatever white Christians might think about Martin Luther King Jr., at least he's a Christian and is interested in racial integration which moderate white Christians would probably say that probably is a good idea at some point. But even if they wanted Martin Luther King to slow down, Malcolm X was famously much more confrontational, not that interested in integration because he doesn't think that white Americans can ever trust white Christians to be true to their word and why do we want to integrate with the oppressor?
Malcolm X in the final years of his life, again, famously, rejects the Nation of Islam and converts to a more traditional form of Islam himself after his pilgrimage to Mecca and which probably resulted in his assassination, likely by members of the Nation of Islam itself. So even some members of the nation of Islam start to have doubts about its legitimacy as a form of Islam.
There are lots of pop Christianity books that do come up after 9/11 on some of that stuff. My perspective is that it seems to have dropped off over the last 20 years. I see fewer of those books these days. Is it that folks found other opponents? Is it that there are changing attitudes towards Islam or is there more familiarity?
Thomas Kidd: There has been a decline of interest in dispensational theology, generally in the American evangelical community and that would be an interesting research project for some sociologists or maybe a historian to take on about why that is, obviously it's not gone away.
The forms of dispensationalism now are probably a little less aggressive about making predictions and having the newspaper in one hand and the Bible in the other. I certainly think on social media that it has just become a fixture in some of the circles that I observed that disparaging dispensational theology among evangelicals. That sort of thing has become as common as the promotion of dispensational theology. I try not to be dismissive about these things because I think there are understandable reactions to the horror of 9/11, but it did spur on a full-on renewed emphasis on end-times theology. Maybe this has something to do with the beginning of the end. Then as the novelty of the horror of 9/11 fades away, and you get bogged down interminable wars there's this inevitably kind of declining interest in apocalyptic interpretations of those events.
But what I've observed about trends in evangelical culture is that there is of course sustained interest in evangelism and missions in the Muslim world. It has been a fixture of evangelical culture for more than a century. But also, the Muslim versus Christian apologetics continues to be a major issue, which may be most importantly led by the late Nabeel Qureshi. If I can gauge anything by my son's YouTube video watching habits in his room, and he's watching old videos of Nabeel Qureshi talking in a relatively ironic way about his conversion from Islam to Christianity and comparing the beliefs of the two sides and why Qureshi thought that Christianity was true. But there were versions of that coming out after 9/11, that were much harder edge, like Muhammad was a pedophile, kind of impostor language about Muhammad and some of that hard-edged both end times talk and apologetics has faded a little bit, but as long as we're evangelicals, apologetics and missions will be part of the move.
The interest and attention paid to Nabeel is that he was from the Ahmadi community, which many Muslims don't even recognize as a true form of Islam. Do you know, to what extent he talked about Islam through his lens as Ahmadi and talked about that overall, or if he was much broader and how he looked and defined that?
Thomas Kidd: Muslim apologists, who you also find on YouTube, denounced Nabeel Qureshi. They would, among many things, say that he was a heretic in his family anyway so what difference does it make that this aberrant Muslim converted to Christianity? So, I think that Qureshi noted that in his work, but also tried to portray himself as someone who understood the differences between Sunni and Ahmadi and those different branches of Islam, but that he's trying to introduce American Christians generally to what Islam is as a whole and why Christianity is superior.
What are the ways in which evangelical Christians have actively participated in or enabled the wave of Islamophobia that we've seen at various times, especially in the past 20 years?
Thomas Kidd: There was a burst of not uniquely evangelical Islamophobia after 9/11, some evangelicals piled on; Franklin Graham, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and there was a Southern Baptist leader who said that Muhammad was a demon-possessed pedophile in the years after 9/11.
People were angry about 9/11, including me, and when you're angry, you say incautious things. These are places where there are plenty of polls that will show that white evangelicals, which usually are whites with a negative impression of Islam. I'm sure that that reflects something that's going on the ground in evangelical churches. But we also know that usually, these polls are very imprecise about who counts as an evangelical.
Maybe that just means somebody who considers themselves religious and they watch Fox news and if you press yes or no by a pollster, are you an evangelical? They have negative views about Islam. I don't think usually those things tell us much that's very interesting. There are plenty of important evangelical leaders who people like Timothy George, who wrote a very fine book about the debate, Is the Father of Jesus the God of Muhammad? that I think is a very careful, intelligent, evangelical approach to this question because there are very fundamental theological differences between Christianity and Islam. Traditional Muslims and traditional Christians affirm that the view of the Trinity, for instance, that's a totally different view of Jesus, totally different. Of course, many Muslims respect Jesus as a prophet, not the son of God.
Some people from the outside of evangelical culture would regard any kind of statement of fundamental difference as a species of Islamophobia. I don't but saying that Muhammad was a demon-possessed paedophile, I would. So that kind of extreme inflammatory language is unnecessary.
So, I always feel like we've got to figure out which evangelicals are we talking about and how do we know that they're evangelicals? It usually is a little more complicated than a poll would suggest
One example that I think definitely squarely involves evangelicals happened in the Southern Baptist Convention several years ago, with regards to our Christianity Today colleague Russell Moore and his former ministry, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), which he led, which was at that time doing a lot of religious freedom advocating specifically that also looked at finding common cause for Muslims. Can you talk a little bit about that controversy that happened there?
Thomas Kidd: One of the specific controversies was about the ERLC supporting a mosque in Murfreesboro, Tennessee that had run afoul of some local zoning ordinances. This happens to churches too, that relatively less sympathetic city boards will not allow churches to be built for ostensibly zoning reasons that happen to mosques too. Russell Moore and the ERLC said, "If we're going to support churches in this sort of thing, we also need to support mosques and synagogues if that happens to them and other faith groups who are trying to build buildings and facing bureaucratic harassment."
There was a significant outcry in the Southern Baptist Convention and in other more fundamentalists types of circles that "this means that Russell Moore and his crowd are Muslim sympathizers." But I think that there would have been broad support among many pastors in that Southern Baptist Convention for Moore's position because of the historic Baptist commandment to religious liberty and so going back to the founding period, even people like John Leland, the great Baptist evangelist, and advocate of religious liberty, and friend of Thomas Jefferson in those days was saying that religious liberty is for all religious groups and that evangelicals and Baptists should support a free market of religion because if you do, the gospel will win, to me obviously, sympathetic to what Moore was doing in that case. That was one of many reasons as you all well know that Moore got flagged in the SBC and ultimately decided to leave.
Another thing that was a big cultural flashpoint to pick on that we were talking earlier about, was Bush mentioning that Muslims and Christians worship the same God. I would love to hear more about how those comments were treated as well as talk about the Larycia Hawkins episode at Wheaton, where she is a Wheaton College professor, with similar remarks to that and how that was all handled.
Thomas Kidd: On the Bush issue, I admire what Bush was trying to do. I appreciate that as we just talked at the beginning about the ambivalences and tensions that he's trying to negotiate. I don't think anyone would mistake George W. Bush for a great theologian. His efforts to be kind and generous and set the right tone were sometimes a bit ham-handed theologically, even some more broad-minded evangelical folks would say, "If you're saying that Islam had Christian roots, that it was partly drawing on that, that's true" and maybe if the idea is that when Muslims refer to God, they're referring to the same God that Christians are referring to and the Jews are referring to.
But worship, Jesus talked about God looking for worshipers who worship in spirit and truth, don't, you have to have a baseline correct theology before you can accurately worship. Those are legitimate evangelical questions that even people like Timothy George based in divinity school, were raising about, "if the idea is we want to be as kind and generous to our Muslim neighbors as we possibly can. Yes, absolutely. But we also need to recognize that there are theological gulfs between Christians and Muslims that just can't be bridged, especially about Trinity, about the way of salvation, those are pretty important things."
The Larycia Hawkins episode is another type of flashpoint over that about how much accommodation can be made toward Islam and evangelical context and anything that smacks of, the differences don't matter that much, we should just love people at some point, that's going to run up against traditional evangelical belief and it's not going to work anymore. For me as an evangelical and a scholar of evangelicals, the trick is always how do you balance kindness, charity, and love of neighbor with a kind of sobriety about the deep theological difference between these religious traditions and they're not the same. There are opposites on some very important issues. As usual, Christians tend to go to one extreme or the other on those types of questions.

When most people think of Sea World on the Gold Coast, they're likely to imagine a haven of life-size underwater characters, up-close encounters with marine animals from the deep blue, and splashtastic water parks and rides - not to mention the sugar-charged excitement of kids and families enjoying all the fun under the Queensland sun. But Sea World, Gold Coast does boast a little more than meets the eye.
While holiday makers revel in the excitement, fun and action-packed entertainment available to them, for the team behind the scenes there's a much more serious cause at play – the Sea World Research & Rescue Foundation.
Dedicated to funding and promoting independent marine research, rescue and conservation projects, the Foundation's aim is to help build knowledge and appreciation of the huge variety of life in our oceans, while protecting and rehabilitating precious marine life.
Groupon chatted to Sea World's Belle McCarthy to find out exactly what the Foundation is all about, and also learn how you can help them in their quest.
What is the main focus of the Sea World Research & Rescue Foundation?
Starting out as the Neptune Oceanic Foundation in 1988, the Foundation has since given out millions of dollars in grants to fund marine vertebrate research, with Sea World, Gold Coast theme park contributing over $1 million per year to the rescue, research and rehabilitation of marine life.
Sea World's rescue team consists of over 50 trained marine sciences staff who are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year should a marine animal need rescuing. Over the past 28 years, the team has attended many hundreds of stranding and entanglements of dolphins, whales, birds and sea snakes, pioneering new rescue techniques and equipment. They also operate a turtle hospital, rescuing on average 40-70 turtles per year.
Once rescued, injured animals are brought into Sea World, Gold Coast and given veterinary care and love with the ultimate aim of returning them back to the wild – although sometimes this may not be possible.
Over 100 animals have been rescued in 2016 alone, including four juvenile New Zealand fur seals that were recently successfully released back in to the wild after months of rehabilitation and care.
What animals does the Foundation focus most of its research and rehabilitation around?
The level of rehabilitation required for these rescued animals is dependant on many factors, including their species and level of injury. Some rescued animals can be released immediately; others, sadly, may need to stay at the conservation centre for longer care and recovery.
One of Sea World, Gold Coast's current, longer-term guests is Carnage, a courageous green turtle who is still recovering almost one year after suffering severe injuries from a boat strike, leaving him with only three flippers. Carnage is learning to swim again and is shaping up to be a likely candidate for release soon.
What is the greatest threat to our marine life today?
According to Belle, unfortunately it's us - humans. Due to the rising amount of litter in the world's oceans, injuries and illness from ingestion and entanglement are becoming a real problem for almost all species across the entire span of the ocean.
How many research projects is the Foundation working on this year?
This year, the Foundation is supporting 13 new marine animal research projects, 12 marine debris clean-up projects and 10 school waste reduction projects. To date, th Foundation has supported 180 research projects, including studies on the movement of sharks in Gold Coast waterways, the impact of temperature on turtle hatchlings and the social networking skills of Port Jackson sharks.
Sea World is also contributing in-kind support through vessels, staff and expertise to local conservation projects including dolphin population assessment and dugong health assessment in Moreton Bay.
While threats to the environment may seem just too gigantic to overcome, there are many things within our control that can help marine life thrive, not just survive.
Learn and build knowledge around the threats to marine life by visiting some of the rescue animals that are part of the Sea World, Gold Coast family. Seal Harbour, Dolphin Endeavour Pool and Seal Theatre are the home to many rescue animals that would not be able to survive in the wild after rehabilitation.
As simple as this may sound, dispose of your rubbish so marine life is safe from pollution. An estimated 80% of rubbish that ends up in the ocean comes from land-based sources.
Whenever possible, retrieve snagged fishing line and net. Discarded line and nets cause a problem known in the conservation world as 'ghost fishing' which can entangle marine animals.
Slow down on your boat or jet ski, particularly when going through areas known to have a high population of dugongs and turtles.
Turn your appliances off at the wall (whether at home or on holidays) and save up to 10% off household electricity.
Or, if you'd prefer to check out Sea World, Gold Coast in person, grab a five-night Sea World Resort & Water Park holiday package for up to four people, with unlimited entry to Sea World, Warner Bros. Movie World, Wet 'n' Wild Gold Coast and Paradise Country during the stay.

South Dakota names state chief technology officer Pat Snow as acting CIO
Snow will serve in an interim capacity through the end of this year following the retirement of longtime CIO William "David" Zolnowsky.
South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard has appointed the state's chief technology officer, Pat Snow, to take on the added role of chief information officer following the retirement last month of William "David" Zolnowsky.
Daugaard named Snow as Zolnowsky's acting replacement on March 30 after Zolnowsky's retirement at the end of a 44-year career in South Dakota's state government. Snow has served as the state's top technology official and director of telecommunications since 2015; he previously spent 19 years as a network technology manager for the state.
"Pat is a seasoned executive with over 30 years of experience in information technology service development and implementation," the state's Bureau of Information Technology posted on its blog Monday. "During his tenure with South Dakota state government, BIT has achieved national recognition as a leader in technology service consolidation efforts in government and education."
Among Snow's listed accomplishments is making South Dakota the first state with a centralized information technology operation, which the state achieved in 1996.
As interim CIO, Snow will serve as BIT's commissioner, with a portfolio that includes delivering network technologies, cloud services, telecommunications, and first responder radio to the state government employees, as well as South Dakota's grade schools and public universities.
Snow also serves as president of the National Association of State Technology Directors. He is expected to be in the dual role of chief technology officer and CIO until the end of the year.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Get your peanuts and Cracker Jacks ready! Thursday is opening day for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans.
While the 2018 season had a lot of ups and downs, the team ultimately missed the playoffs for the first time since 2010.
The team also parted ways with manager Buddy Bailey, who helped lead the team to their 2016 championship.
This season begins a new era for the Pelicans, who will be led by Steve Lerud as the eighth manager in team history.
Lerud was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2003 and spent 13 seasons as a player before becoming manager of the Eugene Emeralds last season. The Emeralds won the 2018 Northwest League Championship.
Along with a new skipper, the team has a number of new faces on the roster this season, which include catcher Miguel Amaya, one of the Chicago Cubs top prospects.
Lerud believes this team will bring a competitive edge to the field each night and hopes to get as many players a shot at the major league level.
"Obviously winning games is important and you develop through winning games but that is a direct reflection from player performance," said Lerud.
Pitcher Alex Lange and outfielder Kevonte Mitchell will both return for another season in Myrtle Beach and will be key leaders both on and off the field.
"We've got a lot of guys around here with a lot of talent," said Lange. That talent hopes to pack the stadium each night with some of best fans as the Pelicans look to bring another championship pennant back to Myrtle Beach.
"I expect us to dominate honestly," said Kevonte Mitchell.
WMBF News will have full coverage from opening day. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. as the Pelicans host the Lynchburg Hillcats.

Pryor Slave in Richmond Tobacco Factory Fight
Posted on October 18, 2016 by Vanessa Wood
A slave named Aleck Bagby, owned by Dr. Sam'l Fauntleroy, of King and Queen, on yesterday evening bit off the entire lower lip of Fleming Pryer, a slave, owned by W. R. Robinson, Esq., in a fight, at the factory of the latter, on Franklin, below 20th street — Dr. James Dove was summoned in haste, and stitched on the dissevered part.
— Richmond Dispatch, Richmond VA 4 March 1861
Samuel G Fauntleroy is on the 1850 census in King and Queen County and states his profession as physician, but do the slaves or their owners lead back to a Pryor?
W. R. Robinson is on the 1860 Non-Population Schedule, recorded as a manufacturer of tobacco.
It should be noted that Dr. James Dove was also summoned to a Richmond scene
I may have found Bagby– an Alexander Bagby worked in a tobacco factory in Richmond:
1870 Census, Henrico county, Richmond Clay Ward
Alexander Bagby 44 male B works in tobacco fac. Virginia.
Elizabeth 44 female B keeping house Virginia
Jeremiah 18 male B works in tobacco fac. Virginia.
George 17 male B ? Virginia.
Fleming Pryor was also on the 1870 Census and the 1880 Census:
1870 Census, Goochland County, VA
Lickenhole, page 120b, house Fleming PRYOR 67 black male born VA
1880 Census Richmond, Henrico County, VA
Richmond, page 487c, Fleming PRYOR 71 black make born VA, parents both born in VA, sick with old age. Edith wife 59 washer woman born VA, parents both born in VA. Edith Pryor 27. Martha 14.
Fleming Pryor died in 1886 in Richmond. He was recorded as a "factory hand" and he was born in 1824 in Hanover County, VA.
Bagby's owner Samuel G. Fauntleroy connects to a Pryor. Samuel Fauntleroy with Elizabeth Antoinette DeNeuville Pryor (the widow of Brazure Williams Pryor) witnessed the will of Robert B. Boyd in 1838.
1838 Will – Will of Robert B Boyd 1838. Records of King and Queen Co. King and Queen C.H. Virginia. Will Book 1, page 102. Will of Robert B Boyd. Dated 30 May 1838. Prob. 11 June 1838. Friend Christopher John D PRYOR Esqr to be guardian "of my two children Mary Francis and Roberta Byrd Boyd. Two uncles Beverly D. Roy and Augustus G. D. Roy to have blooded horses. Wife Mary A Boyd. Exor: "my friend George K Carlton. Wit: E.A. PRYOR, Samuel G Fauntleroy, Junius x PRYOR. This will recorded 2nd Nov 1869
There are so many pieces connected to this simple 1861 news piece. Slaves such as Alexander Bagby were hired out to factory owners like W. R. Robinson. Maybe Fleming Pryor was another rented slave or perhaps Robinson acquired him from a Pryor or Fleming family. Does his name shed light on a Virginia Pryor family?

It's A New Pryor to Add to The List– Arthur Pryor (d. abt. 1752)
Posted on March 26, 2014 by Vanessa Wood
It has driven me absolutely NUTS. Catherine Pryor who married Henry Lansford and they are connected to Pittsylvania County, VA and Williamson County, TN– who were her parents? Several researchers have posted online that she was from Lunenburg County, VA. But, there aren't any Pryors in Lunenburg! At last I think I have a clue.
There's an ad placed in The Virginia Gazette of Williamsburg, VA on 10 April 1752.
King and Queen, March 20, 1752
To Be Sold
One thousand and Eighty Acres of good Land, lying in the County of Lunenburg, on Toxekiah Creek, joining Lines of Baker, and Stunks, purchased of Mr. Charles Stunks, purchased of Mr. Charles Irby, by Arthur Pryor, deceas'd, the Pattent to be taken out in the Purchaser's Name, or good lawful Deeds to be made by the said Irby, before the 10th day of June next, or after, when required, one Half the Money to be paid down, the other Half twelve Months after. Any Gentleman inclinable to purchase may know the Price, and by Direction may be met with at any convenient Place, to be treated with at any Time by
John Waller
Christopher Pryor,
Executors.
ARTHUR PRYOR. Who the heck is Arthur Pryor?????
I suspect the Christopher Pryor is NOT the Christopher born about 1745 who was married to Catharine Clayton and living in Gloucester County. This is an older Christopher Pryor. I don't completely trust Gatewood Pryor's book, but here's an interesting post that ID's a Christopher Pryor in 1704 (archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/PRYOR/1998-06/0898146722). If this older Christopher and the Arthur in Lunenburg are connected then it suggests a kinship between that line and the Pryors who migrated through Pittsylvania County and Williamson County.
I can find only one other reference to Pryors in Lunenburg County: Thomas Dozer (or Dozier) married Caty Pryor on 17 June 1775. John Barry (or Berry?) was surety. This is about 30 years after Catharine and Henry Lansford married, and about 3 years before his death, so for now I have to believe this is a different Catherine or Caty Pryor.
Off to explore!

How Did Col. Samuel Pryor's Genealogy Get So Messed Up?
Posted on December 17, 2013 by Vanessa Wood
I've seen many family trees that rely on the article titled "The Pryor Family" published more than 100 years ago in The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 7 (1899)[copy available in Google Books]. I've relied on it myself. But how accurate could an article be that begins
On account of the destruction of county records, this account of the Pryors must be at present rather a collection of data than a connected and complete account of the family…
What this tells me is that the author had some data but it was beyond him to connect up the Pryor family. This doesn't sound too reliable to me! Alas, it sounds also sounds too familiar!
The Virginia Magazine article speaks of early land grants to Robert Pryor on Craney Creek in Gloucester County in the late l680's and early 1690's. The article quotes a Mitchell family Bible that is inscribed with the story from the 1780's that Samuel Pryor married Prudence Thornton and had 10 children- William, John, Thornton, Robert, Luke, Frank (Francis?), Joseph, Nancy, Molly, and Samuel. Because Molly Pryor was the direct ancestor of the Bible owner her year of birth was recorded as 1730. The writer then deduced from her year of birth that Robert on Craney Creek was old enough to be her grandfather and therefore the patriarch of this Pryor line.
The author corresponded with Judge R. A. Pryor in New York. This judge is Roger Atkinson Pryor, the Confederate General who went to New York City after the Civil War. Judge Pryor used his father's notes to fill in the pieces of Samuel and Prudence line carried on by their son John Pryor. The Judge didn't state who John married but we now know from the Chancery Court Records that his wife was Mary Dennis.
I question this long-relied upon article– it comes apart on page 206
William Pryor, of Goochland, from comparison of all data, must have been the son of Colonel Samuel Pryor, with whom the account of the family given in the last number begins. Samuel Pryor, of Amelia and Goochland, must also have been another son. Francis Pryor, of Orange, named in the Louisa deed, another son. John Pryor of King and Queen, named in the Hanover deed, was probably a brother of Colonel Samuel Pryor.
I encourage family researchers to slow down and ask questions. Questions like, What's the evidence that Francis Pryor of Orange County who deeded land in Louisa County is related to William and his father Samuel? And, where did the author find documentation of a relationship between John Pryor in King and Queen and Col. Samuel and his son William?
The 1768 deed in Louisa County that names Francis Pryor and his wife Frances doesn't name any other Pryors, nor did the author provide the names of other parties to the deed. I've done some online searches and can't find the deed quoted in full, nor am I able to find any information on this Francis Pryor. There's certainly not enough information to conclude he's related to either Col. Samuel or his son William Pryor.
A John Pryor from King and Queen County may be pure speculation and a very poor conclusion. There's a record of a "Major" Pryor in King and Queen County dated 1747 that mentions land in Brunswick County. The John Pryor in King and Queen records shows up in 1780 and that is Major John Pryor born 1750. He wasn't even born in 1747 so he can't be the Major Pryor who showed up on the 1747 record. I looked in Brunswick County and found the older Major Pryor there– named with his wife "Anne" on an 1749 indenture. It's not the John Pryor, son of son of Col. Samuel Pryor because that John Pryor was married to Mary Dennis, not an Anne.
There's a 1742 indenture filed in Amelia County for Philip Pryor and wife Ann of Hanover County, VA. The indenture deeded land to William Berry, possibly the same William Berry who married Molly Pryor (a daughter of Col. Samuel Pryor). Was Philip Pryor the same man as Major Pryor? I think these were two different people because there's an indenture for Philip Pryor that was witnessed by Major Pryor.
Possession obtained by William Berry in presence of Major Pryor & Timothy Murrell on Mar. 18, 1742. Deed ackn. By Philip Pryor & ordered rec. at Court held Mar. 18, 1742, after Ann, his wife, relinquished her Right of Dower.
While these old genealogy articles may contain histories and records that are no longer available, they need to be used with a spoonful of skepticism. Ask questions and lets get our hands on the old documents!

I have some more information on the widow of War of 1812 general Brazure Pryor. Mrs. Pryor was alive in 1851 and had started a query into her husband's military bounty land. I have obtained a letter from the Library of Virginia.
Envelope: from Newtown, 5 February, 1851
To John K. Martin, Esq, Richmond, Virginia
New Town, King and Queen County
Mr. John K. Martin
Dear Sir, I am unacquainted with you but seeing your card in the Richmond Enquirer as a collector of claims, I wish you to attend to a claim for Mrs. E A Pryor who is entitled to a claim by the act of Congress in Sept. last. It is for the services of her husband in the War of 1812. Her husband's name was Brazure Williams Pryor. In the commencement of the war he was Captain of the Artillery Company and before the war closed was promoted to Brigadier General and served at Hampton. He was married to Elizabeth A De Neufville the 24 Sept 1807 by Parson Bracken at the time Professor of Wm. And Mary college. There is a private record of her marriage ina Bible which Mrs. Pryor has—she thinks there is one in the clerks office at Williamsburg where she was married. Her age is 58 years— is still a widow. Her husband died in Norfolk on the 15 April 1827. Are the facts can be established here, except in what company he served that I suppose can be established from the pay roll. Mrs. Pryor refers you to John G. Mosley, R. G. Scott, —-? Richmond, and President Tyler, who were all intimately acquainted with her husband. Perhaps the member from Hampton S___? Esquire could give you some information on the subject. I should like to hear from you as early as possible to know if any thng can be done with her claim. My address in New Town, Post office, King and Queen County, Va.
Very Respectfully yours,
Carter B. Fogg
The letter helped to establish that she was living in King and Queen County and can be found on the 1850 Census (see census extract). I hadn't found anywhere online a reference to the marriage date of Brazure Williams Pryor to Elizabeth A Deneufville— we now know it was in 1807. I had in my notes that Brazure had died on the 21st, however that later date may have been when his death was announce in the press.
I suspect that we also discovered that Brazure and Elizabeth also had children. I found an article: Hawes Family of Caroline Co., Va. Elizabeth Hawes Ryland, The William and Mary Quarterly– it states that Walker Hawes (the head of household on the 1850 Census) was married to Mary Pryor. I'm not finding any other writing which even speculates on the parents of this Mary Pryor. She's certainly the right age to be a daughter of Brazure and Elizabeth Pryor.
I love it, so many loose ends in VA and they are getting tied up!

Situada al norte de la costa atlántica de Cornualles en el Reino Unido, la aldea de Tintagel /tɪnˈtædʒəl/ y su vecino Castillo de Tintagel, son asociados estrechamente con la leyenda del Rey Arturo y los Caballeros de la Mesa Redonda. Por lo mismo, es una gran atracción turística en la región.

El actual Tintagel era originalmente conocido como Trevena (en idioma córnico: Tre war Venydh). Fue mencionada por primera vez como uno de los posibles lugares de origen del rey Arturo, por el historiador galés Godofredo de Monmouth, en su libro Historia Regum Britanniæ en el siglo XII. El poeta Lord Alfred Tennyson también relacionó de la misma manera al rey con Tintagel, en su obra Idilios del Rey. Igualmente en el libro de la edad media Tristán e Isolda siendo este castillo donde vive el tío de Sir Tristan de Leonis, el rey Marco de Cornualles.

Pero sobre los anteriores se le relaciona fuertemente con el duque Gorlois, primer esposo de Igraine, madre del rey Arturo.

Herman Cain expected to withdraw from Fed Reserve Board of Governors consideration
He is expected to announce his withdrawal from consideration in the coming days.

Herman Cain is expected to withdraw his name from consideration for the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors, amid growing pressure from Republican senators on the White House to remove him from consideration, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
President Donald Trump announced last week his intention to nominate Cain, a political ally and former 2012 Republican presidential front runner. Trump has also nominated conservative economist Stephen Moore to the Federal Reserve's board of governors.
Senators Mitt Romney, R-Utah, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Cory Gardner, R-Colo., and Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., have come out in opposition to Cain's appointment, likely sinking his chances of confirmation by the Senate, since it's unlikely that he will get the support of Senate democrats.

Since Cain has yet to be formally nominated, he is expected to announce his decision to withdraw his name from consideration in the coming days, according to an administration official and a source familiar with the matter.
President Donald Trump listens to South Korean President Moon Jae-in speak during a meeting in the Oval Office of the White House, Thursday, April 11, 2019, in Washington.

ABC News has reached out to Cain for response.
Some Senate Republicans have voiced concerns over Cain's support for slashing interest rates, echoing a call by Trump. There is also concern that Cain's background check will resurrect past sexual harassment and misconduct allegations that surfaced during the 2012 presidential campaign. Cain denied the claims.
The former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, who turned the company into a top pizza franchise, is an ardent supporter of the president, launching a pro-Trump super PAC, America Fighting Back PAC in 2018. The PAC's website says it was founded by "a group of President Trump's most committed supporters to fight this vile and uncalled for propaganda."
White House economic council director Larry Kudlow said on Thursday that the president was sticking by his decision to nominate Cain "at the moment."
When asked by reporters on Wednesday if Cain's nomination is safe, Trump suggested Cain will decide if he steps aside.

"Well, I like Herman Cain. And Herman will make that determination," Trump said.

A: @Maarten Bodewes answer is correct we have to decode before decryption ..
Thanks @Maarten BodewesHere is the code for decryption method which is returning correct output.  `

    String alias = "ksjksformat";
        KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
        ks.load(is,keystpassw.toCharArray() );
        Key key = ks.getKey(alias, keystpassw.toCharArray());
        Certificate cert = ks.getCertificate(alias);

        byte[] cipherData = cipher.doFinal(decoded);
        return new String(cipherData);
}`

A: You need to decode before decrypting, not after.
As a special service for accepting my answer while posting your own, a bit of a rewrite of decrypte:
public String decrypte(final String encCardNo) throws IllegalBlockSizeException,
        BadPaddingException {
    // --- setup (should be stored differently)
    final char[] keystpassw = "9801461740".toCharArray();
    final String alias = "ksjksformat";

    // --- retrieve private key from store
    final PrivateKey key;
    try (final FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(
            "C:/Users/admin/Desktop/keystore/ksjksformat.jks")) {
        final KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
        ks.load(is, keystpassw);
        key = (PrivateKey) ks.getKey(alias, keystpassw);
    } catch (final KeyStoreException | IOException | NoSuchAlgorithmException | UnrecoverableKeyException | CertificateException e) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("Could not load key from key store", e);
    }

    // --- initialize cipher
    final Cipher cipher;
    try {
        // should use OAEP instead
        cipher = Cipher.getInstance("RSA/ECB/PKCS1Padding");
        cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
    } catch (final NoSuchAlgorithmException | NoSuchPaddingException e) {
        throw new IllegalStateException(
                "RSA PKCS v1.5 should always be available", e);
    } catch (final InvalidKeyException e) {
        throw new IllegalStateException("Key is not an RSA private key", e);
    }

    // --- decode
    final byte[] decoded;
    try {
        decoded = Base64.getDecoder().decode(encCardNo);
    } catch (final IllegalArgumentException e) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid encoded ciphertext", e);
    }

    // --- decrypt
    final byte[] cipherData = cipher.doFinal(decoded);
    final String cardNo = new String(cipherData, StandardCharsets.US_ASCII);

    // --- clean up
    try {
        key.destroy();
    } catch (final DestroyFailedException e) {
        // we tried, possibly log this
    }
    Arrays.fill(cipherData, (byte) 0);

Magic Meath hit new high
Dermot O'Mahony
North Meath Rugby Club, which was founded as recently as 2007, won its first ever Leinster Branch trophy when beating Naas 3rd XV in the Anderson Cup Final at Edenderry RFC on Sunday last.
Formed to cater for the sport in the expanding town of Kells, the club commenced playing in the McGee Cup, a competition that caters for J3 rugby in North East Area.
After winning this at the second attempt, the developing club took the initiative to play in the Leinster League this season and finished runners-up to Balbriggan in Section "B" of Division 3.
A campaign that involved victories against Portlaoise, Birr and Tullamore brought them to Sunday's Anderson Cup decider where they prevailed on a 26-7 scoreline.
Despite trailing to an early Naas try scored by No8 Paddy Bough, which out-half Stephen McGrath converted, North Meath rebounded to lead 12-7 at the interval with outstanding centre Simon Deevey and winger Stephen McManus bagging tries.
Centre Conal Finn kicked a conversion and also added the extra points to No8 Aiden McEntee's try soon after the resumption before Deevey rounded off the scoring with his second five-pointer, with McManus this time tapping over the conversion.
Coached by Victor Grey and Jack Kenny, the ambitious club will now be setting their sights on higher achievements as they set about moving up the divisions within the Leinster League and progressing on to compete shortly in the Towns Cup.
The Anderson Cup final formed part of an extremely successful double header in Edenderry with Tullamore edging out Portarlington by a single point, 14-13, in the Provincial Towns Seconds Cup Final.
This completes a memorable, if somewhat sad season for the County Offaly team as they've now completed the league and cup double but their coach, the popular and well-known Ronnie Walsh, passed away in February. The contribution of "The Keg" was acknowledged by captain Donal Milne in his acceptance speech.
A gripping encounter was decided by veteran Tullamore out-half Eric Conway's penalty midway through the second half that was some consolation for the club's defeat a fortnight earlier by Boyne in arguably the best ever Towns Cup Final.
There was also a double header in Donnybrook on Sunday when the under-21 cup finals were down for decision; Blackrock College survived a late rally as they defeated Clontarf 22-19 to win the McCorry Cup, a game that was preceded by UCD's 27-5 success over St Mary's College in the Purcell Cup decider.
Old Belvedere won the Guilfoyle-James Cup, the revived Cup at J6 level, when they beat Wanderers 29-0 on Thursday of last week and Coolmine added to their trophy haul when they beat Barnhall 21-5 on Tuesday in the J4 equivalent, the Winters Cup Final.
The final game of a long, weather-interrupted season was on Wednesday when Clondalkin beat North Kildare 23-19 to win the Provincial Towns Plate for the first time in the club's history.
Maybe there's a lesson for other teams in their unusual match preparation -- they arrived back from Toulouse 48 hours ahead of the final after spending four days bonding in the name of Leinster!
