Q: Java Equivalent of C# async/await? I am a normal C# developer but occasionally I develop application in Java. I'm wondering if there is any Java equivalent of C# async/await?
In simple words what is the java equivalent of:
async Task<int> AccessTheWebAsync()
{
    HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
    var urlContents = await client.GetStringAsync("http://msdn.microsoft.com");
    return urlContents.Length;
}

A: As it was mentioned, there is no direct equivalent, but very close approximation could be created with Java bytecode modifications (for both async/await-like instructions and underlying continuations implementation).
I'm working right now on a project that implements async/await on top of JavaFlow continuation library, please check https://github.com/vsilaev/java-async-await
No Maven mojo is created yet, but you may run examples with supplied Java agent. Here is how async/await code looks like:
public class AsyncAwaitNioFileChannelDemo {

public static void main(final String[] argv) throws Exception {

    ...
    final AsyncAwaitNioFileChannelDemo demo = new AsyncAwaitNioFileChannelDemo();
    final CompletionStage<String> result = demo.processFile("./.project");
    System.out.println("Returned to caller " + LocalTime.now());
    ...
}

public @async CompletionStage<String> processFile(final String fileName) throws IOException {
    final Path path = Paths.get(new File(fileName).toURI());
    try (
            final AsyncFileChannel file = new AsyncFileChannel(
                path, Collections.singleton(StandardOpenOption.READ), null
            );
            final FileLock lock = await(file.lockAll(true))
        ) {

        System.out.println("In process, shared lock: " + lock);
        final ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect((int)file.size());

        await( file.read(buffer, 0L) );
        System.out.println("In process, bytes read: " + buffer);
        buffer.rewind();

        final String result = processBytes(buffer);

        return asyncResult(result);

    } catch (final IOException ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace(System.out);
        throw ex;
    }
}

@async is the annotation that flags a method as asynchronously executable, await() is a function that waits on CompletableFuture using continuations and a call to "return asyncResult(someValue)" is what finalizes associated CompletableFuture/Continuation
As with C#, control flow is preserved and exception handling may be done in regular manner (try/catch like in sequentially executed code)

A: Java itself has no equivalent features, but third-party libraries exist which offer similar functionality, e.g.Kilim.

A: Java doesn't have direct equivalent of C# language feature called async/await, however there's a different approach to the problem that async/await tries to solve. It's called project Loom, which will provide virtual threads for high-throughput concurrency. It will be available in some future version of OpenJDK.
This approach also solves "colored function problem" that async/await has.
Similar feature can be also found in Golang (goroutines).

A: The await uses a continuation to execute additional code when the asynchronous operation completes (client.GetStringAsync(...)).
So, as the most close approximation I would use a CompletableFuture<T> (the Java 8 equivalent to .net Task<TResult>) based solution to process the Http request asynchronously.
UPDATED on 25-05-2016 to AsyncHttpClient v.2 released on Abril 13th of 2016:
So the Java 8 equivalent to the OP example of AccessTheWebAsync() is the following:
CompletableFuture<Integer> AccessTheWebAsync()
{
    AsyncHttpClient asyncHttpClient = new DefaultAsyncHttpClient();
    return asyncHttpClient
       .prepareGet("http://msdn.microsoft.com")
       .execute()
       .toCompletableFuture()
       .thenApply(Response::getResponseBody)
       .thenApply(String::length);
}

This usage was taken from the answer to How do I get a CompletableFuture from an Async Http Client request?
and which is according to the new API provided in version 2 of AsyncHttpClient released on Abril 13th of 2016, that has already intrinsic support for CompletableFuture<T>.
Original answer using version 1 of AsyncHttpClient:
To that end we have two possible approaches:

*

*the first one uses non-blocking IO and I call it AccessTheWebAsyncNio. Yet, because the AsyncCompletionHandler is an abstract class (instead of a functional interface) we cannot pass a lambda as argument. So it incurs in inevitable verbosity due to the syntax of anonymous classes. However, this solution is the most close to the  execution flow of the given C# example.

*the second one is slightly less verbose however it will submit a new Task that ultimately will block a thread on f.get() until the response is complete.
First approach, more verbose but non-blocking:
static CompletableFuture<Integer> AccessTheWebAsyncNio(){
    final AsyncHttpClient asyncHttpClient = new AsyncHttpClient();
    final CompletableFuture<Integer> promise = new CompletableFuture<>();
    asyncHttpClient
        .prepareGet("https://msdn.microsoft.com")
        .execute(new AsyncCompletionHandler<Response>(){
            @Override
            public Response onCompleted(Response resp) throws Exception {
                promise.complete(resp.getResponseBody().length());
                return resp;
            }
        });
    return promise;
}

Second approach less verbose but blocking a thread:
static CompletableFuture<Integer> AccessTheWebAsync(){
    try(AsyncHttpClient asyncHttpClient = new AsyncHttpClient()){
        Future<Response> f = asyncHttpClient
            .prepareGet("https://msdn.microsoft.com")
            .execute();
        return CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(
            () -> return f.join().getResponseBody().length());
    }
}

A: First, understand what async/await is. It is a way for a single-threaded GUI application or an efficient server to run multiple "fibers" or "co-routines" or "lightweight threads" on a single thread.
If you are ok with using ordinary threads, then the Java equivalent is ExecutorService.submit and Future.get. This will block until the task completes, and return the result. Meanwhile, other threads can do work.
If you want the benefit of something like fibers, you need support in the container (I mean in the GUI event loop or in the server HTTP request handler), or by writing your own.
For example, Servlet 3.0 offers asynchronous processing. JavaFX offers javafx.concurrent.Task. These don't have the elegance of language features, though. They work through ordinary callbacks.

A: There isn't anything native to java that lets you do this like async/await keywords, but what you can do if you really want to is use a CountDownLatch. You could then imitate async/await by passing this around (at least in Java7). This is a common practice in Android unit testing where we have to make an async call (usually a runnable posted by a handler), and then await for the result (count down).
Using this however inside your application as opposed to your test is NOT what I am recommending. That would be extremely shoddy as CountDownLatch depends on you effectively counting down the right number of times and in the right places.

A: I make and released Java async/await library.
https://github.com/stofu1234/kamaitachi
This library don't need compiler extension, and realize stackless IO processing in Java.
    async Task<int> AccessTheWebAsync(){
        HttpClient client= new HttpClient();
        var urlContents= await client.GetStringAsync("http://msdn.microsoft.com");
       return urlContents.Length;
    }

   ↓
    //LikeWebApplicationTester.java
    BlockingQueue<Integer> AccessTheWebAsync() {
       HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
       return awaiter.await(
            () -> client.GetStringAsync("http://msdn.microsoft.com"),
            urlContents -> {
                return urlContents.length();
            });
    }
    public void doget(){
        BlockingQueue<Integer> lengthQueue=AccessTheWebAsync();
        awaiter.awaitVoid(()->lengthQueue.take(),
            length->{
                System.out.println("Length:"+length);
            }
            );
    }

A: There is an "equivalent" of await developed by EA: https://github.com/electronicarts/ea-async. Refer to the Java example code:
import static com.ea.async.Async.await;
import static java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture.completedFuture;

public class Store
{
    public CompletableFuture<Boolean> buyItem(String itemTypeId, int cost)
    {
        if(!await(bank.decrement(cost))) {
            return completedFuture(false);
        }
        await(inventory.giveItem(itemTypeId));
        return completedFuture(true);
    }
}

A: No, there isn't any equivalent of async/await in Java - or even in C# before v5.
It's a fairly complex language feature to build a state machine behind the scenes.
There's relatively little language support for asynchrony/concurrency in Java, but the java.util.concurrent package contains a lot of useful classes around this. (Not quite equivalent to the Task Parallel Library, but the closest approximation to it.)

A: async and await are syntactic sugars. The essence of async and await is state machine. The compiler will transform your async/await code into a state machine.
At the same time, in order for async/await to be really practicable in real projects, we need to have lots of Async I/O library functions already in place. For C#, most original synchronized I/O functions has an alternative Async version. The reason we need these Async functions is because in most cases, your own async/await code will boil down to some library Async method.
The Async version library functions in C# is kind of like the AsynchronousChannel concept in Java. For example, we have AsynchronousFileChannel.read which can either return a Future or execute a callback after the read operation is done. But it's not exactly the same. All C# Async functions return Tasks (similar to Future but more powerful than Future).
So let's say Java do support async/await, and we write some code like this:
public static async Future<Byte> readFirstByteAsync(String filePath) {
    Path path = Paths.get(filePath);
    AsynchronousFileChannel channel = AsynchronousFileChannel.open(path);

    ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(100_000);
    await channel.read(buffer, 0, buffer, this);
    return buffer.get(0);
}

Then I would imagine the compiler will transform the original async/await code into something like this:
public static Future<Byte> readFirstByteAsync(String filePath) {

    CompletableFuture<Byte> result = new CompletableFuture<Byte>();

    AsyncHandler ah = new AsyncHandler(result, filePath);

    ah.completed(null, null);

    return result;
}

And here is the implementation for AsyncHandler:
class AsyncHandler implements CompletionHandler<Integer, ByteBuffer>
{
    CompletableFuture<Byte> future;
    int state;
    String filePath;

    public AsyncHandler(CompletableFuture<Byte> future, String filePath)
    {
        this.future = future;
        this.state = 0;
        this.filePath = filePath;
    }

    @Override
    public void completed(Integer arg0, ByteBuffer arg1) {
        try {
            if (state == 0) {
                state = 1;
                Path path = Paths.get(filePath);
                AsynchronousFileChannel channel = AsynchronousFileChannel.open(path);

                ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(100_000);
                channel.read(buffer, 0, buffer, this);
                return;
            } else {
                Byte ret = arg1.get(0);
                future.complete(ret);
            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            future.completeExceptionally(e);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void failed(Throwable arg0, ByteBuffer arg1) {
        future.completeExceptionally(arg0);
    }
}

A: There is no equivalent of C# async/await in Java at the language level. A concept known as Fibers aka cooperative threads aka lightweight threads could be an interesting alternative. You can find Java libraries providing support for fibers.
Java libraries implementing Fibers

*

*JetLang

*Kilim

*Quasar
You can read this article (from Quasar) for a nice introduction to fibers. It covers what threads are, how fibers can be implemented on the JVM and has some Quasar specific code.

A: Java has unfortunately no equivalent of async/await. The closest you can get is probably with ListenableFuture from Guava and listener chaining, but it would be still very cumbersome to write for cases involving multiple asynchronous calls, as the nesting level would very quickly grow.
If you're ok with using a different language on top of JVM, fortunately there is async/await in Scala which is a direct C# async/await equivalent with an almost identical syntax and semantics:
https://github.com/scala/async/
Note that although this functionality needed a pretty advanced compiler support in C#, in Scala it could be added as a library thanks to a very powerful  macro system in Scala and therefore can be added even to older versions of Scala like 2.10. Additionally Scala is class-compatible with Java, so you can write the async code in Scala and then call it from Java.
There is also another similar project called Akka Dataflow http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.3-M1/scala/dataflow.html which uses different wording but conceptually is very similar, however implemented using delimited continuations, not macros (so it works with even older Scala versions like 2.9).

A: If you're just after clean code which simulates the same effect as async/await in java and don't mind blocking the thread it is called on until it is finished, such as in a test, you could use something like this code:
interface Async {
    void run(Runnable handler);
}

static void await(Async async) throws InterruptedException {

    final CountDownLatch countDownLatch = new CountDownLatch(1);
    async.run(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            countDownLatch.countDown();
        }
    });
    countDownLatch.await(YOUR_TIMEOUT_VALUE_IN_SECONDS, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}

    await(new Async() {
        @Override
        public void run(final Runnable handler) {
            yourAsyncMethod(new CompletionHandler() {

                @Override
                public void completion() {
                    handler.run();
                }
            });
        }
    });

A: I have developed a library JAsync to do this.
It is just released today.
It makes the developer's asynchronous programming experience as close as possible to the usual synchronous programming, including code style and debugging.
Here is the example.
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/employees")
public class MyRestController {
    @Inject
    private EmployeeRepository employeeRepository;
    @Inject
    private SalaryRepository salaryRepository;

    // The standard JAsync async method must be annotated with the Async annotation, and return a Promise object.
    @Async()
    private Promise<Double> _getEmployeeTotalSalaryByDepartment(String department) {
        double money = 0.0;
        // A Mono object can be transformed to the Promise object. So we get a Mono object first.
        Mono<List<Employee>> empsMono = employeeRepository.findEmployeeByDepartment(department);
        // Transformed the Mono object to the Promise object.
        Promise<List<Employee>> empsPromise = JAsync.from(empsMono);
        // Use await just like es and c# to get the value of the Promise without blocking the current thread.
        for (Employee employee : empsPromise.await()) {
            // The method findSalaryByEmployee also return a Mono object. We transform it to the Promise just like above. And then await to get the result.
            Salary salary = JAsync.from(salaryRepository.findSalaryByEmployee(employee.id)).await();
            money += salary.total;
        }
        // The async method must return a Promise object, so we use just method to wrap the result to a Promise.
        return JAsync.just(money);
    }

    // This is a normal webflux method.
    @GetMapping("/{department}/salary")
    public Mono<Double> getEmployeeTotalSalaryByDepartment(@PathVariable String department) {
        // Use unwrap method to transform the Promise object back to the Mono object.
        return _getEmployeeTotalSalaryByDepartment(department).unwrap(Mono.class);
    }
}

And in debug mode, you can see all the variable just like the synchronous code.

The other great thing about this project is that it's one of the few projects of its kind that's still active right now. It's just been released, so it has a lot of potential

Small angles X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer characterization of annealed Tb/Fe multilayer
The effect of thermal annealing on the structure and magnetic properties of crystalline Tb/Fe multilayers has been studied using conversion electron Mössbauer spectrometry and small-angle X-ray diffraction. The growth of Tb–Fe amorphous alloy from the interface is observed with increasing annealing temperature. After annealing at 873 K, a clear total mixing of the multilayers by interdiffusion has been evidenced. The results are compared with the effect of ion irradiation in the same system.
Discrepancy of room temperature ferromagnetism in Mo-doped In2O3
O M Lemine M Bououdina E K Hlil A Al-Saie A Jaafar A Alyamani B Ouladdiaf
Molybdenum-doped indium oxide nanopowders were synthesized via mechanical alloying with subsequent annealing at a relatively low temperature of 600 °C. Themorphologies and crystal structures of the synthesized nanopowders were examined by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction patterns. X-ray diffraction pattern of the milled mixture shows the presence of both In2O3 phase and Mo element. The presence of broad peaks in the pattern confirms that the synthesized powders are nanosized. The X-ray diffraction of annealed samples at 600 °C shows the absence of Mo peaks revealing that the Mo was incorporated into the crystal lattices of In2O3. Interestingly, it was observed that the diffraction peaks were still broad in the annealed samples indicating the single phase at the nanoscale. From the XRD pattern, the calculated crystallite sizes were in the range of 12–18 nm. Magnetic properties of the synthesized Mo-doped In2O3 nanopowders were examined and it was found that the obtained nanopowders possess diamagnetic properties.

In the winter, bacteria and viruses are all over the place and easily transmitted from person to person by touch or when they are breathed in. Even in the spring, when temperatures are still cold, they can be an issue.
The most common cold-weather illnesses to watch for are gastroenteritis (stomach flu), norovirus (winter vomiting bug), rhinovirus (common cold), strep throat, and pink eye. All are highly contagious and can set off other conditions in some cases. Maintaining proper practices of washing up and avoiding others who are infected can keep these bugs at bay.
So not only will being preventative save your kids some grief, it could also save you money in the long run.
If you love the snow, nothing beats a good day playing outside after a big snowfall. But, you need to be concerned about foot care in the winter. Feet can sweat even when cold, and ice and snow can creep inside of boots.
If winter footwear is not dried properly between uses, fungus can grow, resulting in the development of athlete's foot or toenail fungal infections. Frequently clean your footwear to avoid these issues.
Not getting enough sunshine can be a real problem for some people. The sun provides vitamin D and, without that you or your kids can be prone to mood swings, making the cooped-up feeling brought on by winter even more challenging.
Schedule time to enjoy the outdoors during colder months.
As temperatures plummet, thermostats are raised to warm the house. With that, the air in the home becomes drier, and that can cause dehydration, wreaking havoc on everyone's skin.
Dry skin for children can be mild or severe and affect all or parts of the body. If it gets bad enough, it can become very itchy and lead to excessive scratching which can then bring on infections if the skin has developed open sores. Use a humidifier to lessen these effects.
Winter weather sometimes brings lots of snow and ice – and excitement for little ones. Slip and fall accidents can be quite common as a child's excitement pushes normal caution aside. Slippery conditions are everywhere: around the car when it is parked, on steps into the home or school, and even at playgrounds and on their equipment.
All can be problematic for excited children who could easily lose their footing or grip and get badly hurt. Ensure your family has the right footwear to avoid slips, and teach young ones to avoid walking on ice when possible.
As with dry skin, once the temperature in the home is raised, the chance of developing dry eyes increases. This dryness can cause itching and burning sensations. If frequently rubbed to reduce the discomfort, dry eye symptoms can be made worse and other conditions can develop.
Eye injuries need to be watched for as well. Playing outside on slippery surfaces can cause children to fall and hit something that could damage their eyes. Even something as fun as a snowball fight can cause serious eye injury if the snow is icy, packed too hard, or had bits of other substances (such as rocks or twigs) in it. Using protective eyewear during activities can prevent such injuries.
Driving with your children during warm weather has its share of concerns, but those are amplified during winter months. While on the road this time of year, there is always a much greater chance of being involved in a collision due to snowy or icy roads -so it's super important to make sure everyone in the car is properly seated and buckled in.
It's also a good time to double-check your toddler's car seat to make sure it's not loose and all parts function as they should.
For whatever reason, kids love to eat freshly fallen snow. Usually this is not a problem, but for children it can be. Snow eaten right after it has fallen is still "pure," but after it's been sitting around, there is a greater chance that it's been contaminated in some way.
Of greatest concern is any snow that might have traces of "snow melt" products in them. Rock salt is the usual culprit, and ingesting it can cause serious stomach problems. Other forms of melting products are extremely toxic and could lead to death if ingested. Be watchful of your children and pets, and make sure they don't ingest snow.
Nothing looks more enticing than a really big snow bank. Playing on one can be fun, but it can be dangerous as well. Kids can easily slip off and cause an injury to themselves. If they tunnel into one, the walls can collapse, trapping them under the heavy snow.
Another issue is when the banks are roadside, usually caused by a plow that has passed. Playing on anything along the edge of the road is dangerous. If your child slips off as a vehicle passes, there could be very serious consequences.
To help you and your family stay well, promote safety, and avoid injury, having a mindful self-care practice is key to maintaining mental, emotional, and physical health. This will promote awareness of self, surroundings, and physical cleanliness, allowing you to stay ahead of the elements brought on by the winter weather that can be harmful to your family's health and safety.


7 Promises features two ecological preachers (Davis Freeman & Jerry Killick) that call for the audience to turn their words into action. We know we're up against an impending ecological disaster but the question is, why are we not doing more about it? 7 Promises looks at these issues with a sense of urgency and humor. This highly adaptable show has been presented on the street, for diplomats and ambassadors, and in the context of numerous ecological conferences. For every promise the audience makes they get a free shot of VODKA. So as expected it's a good late night show that turns into a party.
7 Promises starts with a 15 minute speech by two environmental preachers about the ecological challenges we currently face with a local live organist playing background church music. They then propose 7 promises to the audience. For every promise the audience agrees with, they come up in front of the stage, write down their name, receive a button that says "I made a Promise" and they get a free shot of vodka. They are simple promises like going to a local farmers market and buying 10 euros of food every week for 4 weeks, Not eating meat for one month, to not having children for the rest of your life. The audience and the performers get a bit drunk that naturally turns into a nice party where we talk about our promises.

Mount Isa born Tanika Marshall will play international football this weekend. Tanika will travel to Suva to represent the Fijian Prime Ministers XIII in a rugby league clash with Australia on Friday, October 11. Tanika, who has been the face of the team on posters for the game, made history earlier this year when she played in Fiji's first ever women's rugby league team.

The latest offerings from Vivo are in the form of Vivo Y97 and the Vivo Y93 in their famous Vivo Y series. Understandably, the Vivo Y93 is a lower mid-range smartphone whereas the Vivo Y97 is an upper mid-range device.
Vivo Y97 has a notch in its display same as the Essential Phone. The display on the Vivo Y97 is a Full HD+ panel at a resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels. Vivo Y97 has an octa-core processor along with 4GB of RAM. The device also includes 128GB of inbuilt storage which can be further expanded up to 256GB via microSD.
There are three cameras on the Vivo Y97, 2 on the back and 1 on the front. The dual back cameras consist of a 16MP primary and a 2MP secondary camera. The front camera is a 16MP selfie camera with face unlock.
Vivo Y93, unlike the Vivo Y97, has a waterdrop notch in the display. This is an HD+panel with a resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels. The Vivo Y93 also has an octa-core processor which is slightly underclocked than the Vivo Y97. The Vivo Y93 also comes with 4GB of RAM but has 64GB of internal storage as opposed to 128GB on Vivo Y97. The microSD expansion capacity on both the smartphones remains the same.

Agreement between predictive, allergen-specific IgE values assessed by immunoCAP and IMMULITE 2000 3gAllergy™ assay systems for milk and wheat allergies
IPAD3g investigators
Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health
Purpose: ImmunoCAP® (ImmunoCAP) and IMMULITE® 2000 3gAllergy™ (3gAllergy) systems are major quantitative allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) assay methods. Due to the heterogeneous nature of allergenic extracts and differences in the assay format, quantitation of allergen-sIgEs is not expected to correlate well between different methods. However, we have recently reported good agreement between the methods in the diagnosis of egg allergy. This study aimed to determine and correlate the predictive values of sIgE by the two systems in the diagnosis of milk and wheat allergies. Methods: Children who had undergone oral food challenge (OFC) for the diagnosis of milk and wheat allergies were enrolled. The OFCs were performed to diagnose either true allergy in the 1-year-old group (A) or tolerance in the 2- to 6-year-old group (B). Milk, casein and β-lactoglobulin, and wheat and ω-5 gliadin sIgE values were measured using the 2 systems. The predictive accuracy of each sIgE for the OFC outcome was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The probability of a positive OFC outcome was estimated by logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 395 patients were recruited from 7 primary care clinics and 19 hospitals in Japan. Milk and wheat OFCs were performed for 87 and 102 group A patients, and 124 and 82 group B patients, respectively. ROC analysis yielded similar areas under the curve for the 2 assays (0.7-0.9). The log-transformed sIgE data showed a strong linear correlation with the estimated probabilities (R > 0.9). Conclusions: The 2 systems may be interchangeable for diagnosis of milk and wheat allergies in young children.

McKie, Sir William Neil (1901–1984)
by Michael D. De B. Collins Persse
This article was published in Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 18, (MUP), 2012
Sir William Neil McKie (1901-1984), church musician, was born on 22 May 1901 at Collingwood, Melbourne, second of six children of Victorian-born parents William McKie, Church of England minister, and his wife Mary Alice Ethel, née Doyle. Taught Greek and Latin by his mother, Will was educated at Melbourne Church of England Grammar School, where his music teacher, A. E. H. Nickson, became a mentor to whom he owed 'more than I can possibly say'. His organ lessons were supplemented by sitting frequently during services in St Paul's Cathedral beside the organist, Dr A. E. Floyd, who, like Nickson, encouraged perfectionism.
Awarded the (Sir William) Clarke scholarship in 1918, McKie studied at the Royal College of Music, London (associate 1921; fellow 1957—the first organist to gain this award since Nickson in 1895). Two years at the RCM, where he was taught by the organist Henry Ley and the composer Gustav Holst, were followed by three as organ scholar at Worcester College, Oxford (BA, B.Mus., 1924; MA, 1930; Hon. D.Mus., 1944). Organist (1920-21) at St Agnes' Church, Kennington Park, he was given access to the organ loft in Westminster Abbey; vacations from Oxford were sometimes spent as assistant to the organist at Ely Cathedral.
McKie began teaching music at Radley College, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, in 1923. Concern for his father's health prompted a visit in 1925 to Melbourne, where he gave two organ recitals in St Paul's Cathedral. Appointed director of music at Clifton College, Bristol, in 1926, he also coached the rowing VIII; his strong personality matched the progressive character of the school.
In 1930 McKie was invited to return to Melbourne as the city organist, taking charge of a newly built Hill, Norman & Beard organ in the town hall. Travelling via North America, he arrived 'boyish, fresh-faced [and] enthusiastic' in March 1931. He performed regular midday and evening recitals. 'I have no ''mission" to raise taste', he declared, but his diverse and sometimes challenging programs, including works by Franck and Widor, along with a more popular repertoire of Bach and Elgar, lifted musical expectations in a city already accustomed to high standards. The demands imposed in 1932 by a Bach festival, and in 1934 by the celebration of Melbourne's centenary, were met by his meticulous planning.
From 1934 McKie was also director of music at Geelong Church of England Grammar School, where he inspired affection among students. The poet Geoffrey Dutton recalled that, while McKie was 'a perfectionist', 'there was also a lot of fun in him'. Temperamental outbursts at less than perfect performances were readily forgiven, and his contribution to GCEGS endured in the establishment of a well-equipped music school, the design of which resulted from discussions between McKie, the headmaster (Sir) James Darling and the architects. The building was opened by the visiting English conductor and composer (Sir) Malcolm Sargent on 14 August 1938.
These commitments and residual resentment among some Melbourne councillors who wanted 'lighter' music played at recitals, took their toll. In 1937 McKie was granted leave of absence to regain his health and, in 1938, he accepted the post of instructor in music at Magdalen College, Oxford. His departure was widely regretted; he was the last Melbourne city organist.
McKie's presence attracted Australians to Magdalen. He trained its choir for the daily services, gave occasional organ recitals, played for university functions and was music critic for the Oxford Magazine. In 1941 he was appointed organist and master of choristers at Westminster Abbey but, before taking up this position, he enlisted in the Royal Air Force, graduating from an officers' training school and serving as a flying officer (1942) and flight lieutenant (1944) in the Administrative and Special Duties Branch in England and the Bahamas.
Demobilised in November 1945, McKie began rebuilding Westminster Abbey's musical tradition. His self-discipline and strong features (jutting chin, penetrating gaze and tall, upright bearing) gave him an aura of authority, belying a natural diffidence. He could be fiercely demanding but was sensitive to choristers' needs. Their routine of daily services was paramount, but was often interrupted by the abbey's obligations as the parish church of nation and Commonwealth—for example the wedding in 1947 of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh (the music of which included McKie's own antiphon 'We Wait for Thy Loving Kindness') and her coronation in 1953 as Queen Elizabeth II, for which he was director of music. Appointed MVO in 1947, he was knighted in 1953.
Among many offices, Sir William was organ professor (1946-62) at the Royal Academy of Music, honorary associate director (1946-62) of the Royal School of Church Music, president (1950-52) of the Incorporated Association of Organists, and president (1956-58) and honorary secretary (1963-67) of the Royal College of Organists. He visited Australia in 1953 to raise money for the restoration of the abbey, giving organ recitals in the Anglican cathedrals of all State capitals. On 5 April 1956 at Westminster Abbey he married Phyllis Birks, née Ross (d.1983), the widow of a Canadian businessman. On one of several private journeys back to Australia he was made an honorary D.Mus. (1961) by the University of Melbourne; other awards included honorary membership (1958) of the American Guild of Organists and appointment as commander with star of the Royal Norwegian Order of St Olav, bestowed on a visit to Norway in 1964.
While not gregarious, McKie had a gift for friendship. He lived in the abbey precincts until retiring in 1963, moving then to a country house in Kent, and in 1970 to Ottawa. After a period of decline due to Alzheimer's disease, he died on 1 December 1984 and was cremated. His ashes were interred in Westminster Abbey. A portrait by Eileen Newton is held by Melbourne Grammar School, and another by Hugh Colman by Geelong Grammar School, where the McKie Strings commemorate him. The University of Melbourne offers a travelling scholarship in his name.

PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on Tuesday said around 300,000 people had been affected by the flash floods in the northern district of Chitral.
Information minister Mushtaq Ghani told reporters at the Peshawar Press Club that roads, power transmission system and water schemes across the district were worst hit by the natural calamity.
He said 26 villages were worst hit by floods.
The minister said upper parts of Chitral was cut-off, while in Kuragh, raging currents washed away Chitral-Booni Road, stranding around 200,000 people.
He said Kalash valley with a population of 25,000 and Lotkuh tehsil with a population of over 60,000 were also cut off.
Ghani said the government had allocated Rs140 million for the rehabilitation of flood-affected infrastructure in Chitral.
He said of the funds allocated, Rs100 million was for the rehabilitation of roads, Rs30 million for restoration of drinking water supply and Rs10 million for repairs of irrigation channels.
The minister said 20 tonnes of relief goods were dispatched to the district, while another 20 tonnes of goods would be sent today (Wednesday).
He said the Chitral deputy commissioner had been authorised to use Rs20 million funds from the district relief account.
Ghani said the flooding had destroyed 103 houses in Chitral and partially damaged 63, while 25 water supply schemes were destroyed.
He said roads from Chitral to Booni, Orguch, Garam Chashma, Bambouret and Mastuj were badly damaged in the calamity.
The minister said the floods washed away 30 percent of trees in Shoghar, Mastuj, Garam Chashma and Oveer villages and damaged 40 percent of cultivable land in the district.
"The flash floods also washed away nine bridges and buildings of a hotel, a private college and a power station in Chitral," he said.
The minister said the secretaries of public health and communication and works departments had been sent to Chitral to access damages caused by flash floods.
He said the army and Chitral Scouts were helping the district government handle the crisis.
Ghani said PTI chief Imran Khan and Chief Minister Pervez Khattak would visit Chitral today (Wednesday).
JI, ANP CRITICISE GOVT: The Awami National Party and Jamaat-i-Islami on Tuesday criticised the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf-led government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for allocating Rs1 million for the flood-hit people of Chitral.
In a news release issued here, ANP leader Asfandyar Wali Khan regretted the losses caused by flash floods in Chitral and asked the government to reach out to the calamity victims for rescue and relief.
He said Chitralis had no 0.3m affected by Chitral floods food and drinking water and had lost contact with other parts of the country.
Asfandyar criticised the government for allocating Rs1 million for the flood-hit families in Chitral.
"That is a meagre amount compared to the losses they (people of Chitral) have suffered due to floods," he said.
In a press statement issued here, JI provincial chief Professor Ibrahim Khan criticised the chief minister for announcing only Rs1 million for the flood-hit Chitral.
He said the government should allocate a hefty amount of money to help flood victims in Chitral.
The JI leader said Al-Khidmat Foundation, the party's welfare organisation, was helping Chitralis restore water channels.
He said the people, whose houses were destroyed by flooding, would also be supported.
Professor Ibrahim said senior provincial minister Inayatullah Khan would go to Chitral today (Wednesday) to oversee relief activities.
He said provincial president of Al-Khidmat Foundation Noorul Haq would also reach Chitral today (Wednesday) for distribution of cash to flood victims for the restoration of small water channels.
The JI leader said the welfare organisation had already dispatched trucks loaded with food items to the calamity-hit district.
Flood waters coming down the streets can sweep a person off his feet. Rushing streams can carry people away and drown them. Swept up in a wild river one's chances of survival are low. They are lucky to catch a tree limb to hold on to. Entire houses caqn be swept down river.
People knew flooding would be back again before much time had past. This might not even be the end of it. Pray that the flooding goes and won't come back this year.
the question is when will the government going to help them???
No need to worry. Top politicians are safe in London and Dubai. Far away from disasters, shopping, spending big money and enjoying good life. Oh/ yes, they have are . 'Taken notice' of this disaster, if thats any consolation to suffering victims.
Don't make dams and be happy with floods now and drought after a few years.
@KeyPoints Shabaz Sharif is suffering from blood cancer and is there for his treatment.
Given Chitral's demographic and topographic significance, the central and provincial government's height of negligence reflected through their perpetual indifference towards the region's grievances is profoundly disturbing. If developed, this district alone can cater for the much required face-lift not only of K.P. but also Pakistan itself. Be it vegetation, minerals, tourism or access to Central Asian region, Chitral is the answer to a myriad of potential opportunities.
