Our village wishes to erect two bus shelters on concrete bases, for which we have County Council approval. These will provide a safe place for our villagers to wait and protect them from both the weather and the dangers of the unrestricted "A" road. The fumes, back-draught and spray from the fast traffic make waiting for the buses quite a hazard so a partial glass wall in front of them would protect them from these. Funding for the shelters is almost complete and now we need to fund the bases so that work can start.
The A146 Norwich Road is a very busy trunk road and the bus stops are completely exposed to the elements. Our school and college children use the buses every day as do many elderly people to access doctors, hospital, shops etc. there being no facilities in the village. Following the death of one of our school boys alighting from a bus four years ago the village has been raising money to provide a refuge from the traffic for these vulnerable residents. . Having bus shelters would make life much safer and healthier for our bus users. The concrete bases are a requirement of the Highways approval, for attachment of the shelters, and this is the purpose of our appeal.
Being a small hamlet we have only a Parish Meeting and not a Parish Council and with no precept we qualify for a County Council grant and the District Council have indicated that some help will be forthcoming for the shelters. The village have been fundraising eg raffles etc and our village charity are also supporting us.
A survey was carried out recently of bus usage and it was calculated, from the forms which were returned, that there are a minimum of 2496 journeys a year. People from surrounding villages also walk through the lanes to use the buses but we have not included these in the figures.

LAFC SCV: stellar season ends at NPL Finals

Signal Sports Writer
The LAFC SCV Gold-Mitrovitch G2004 team's amazing club careers came to an end at the National Premier League Finals in Commerce City, Colorado, last weekend.
The club entered the B Bracket along with the St. Louis 2004G Rangers, FC Dallas 2003 and Eastern Washington Surf SC 03/04/05.
LAFC started hot, beating Dallas 5-1 in their opener July 7, but head coach Guilherme Mitrovitch said despite the score it was a tough game.
The high altitude played a factor in this game, as Mitrovitch expected. Midway through the first half, players from both sides hit the wall and were exhausted early.
LAFC was clinging to a 2-1 lead, ready to go into the halftime break, before Dallas was awarded a penalty kick. Goalkeeper Grace Cashman came up big with the save to keep Dallas at an arm's length.
Both teams endured with the lack of oxygen and LAFC took control in the second half, eventually winning by four goals.
"We really asserted ourselves as the more dominant team and took over in the second half," said Mitrovitch.
CSUN-bound Alyssa Edwards led the team with two goals while Sofia Soler, Cassidy Imperial-Pham and Alexis N'Guyen all netted one score.
The team went on to beat Eastern Washington 3-0 in their second game. The Washington club was hit with a 10-1 beatdown from St. Louis in their first game, leading to a defense-heavy game plan.
LAFC fought to get the ball in the net and often were against up to nine defenders in the Washington box.
Eventually goals from Edwards, Maggie Yoshioka and Ryan Sheperd led the team to a win and a Cashman shutout.
St. Louis gifted another beatdown to Eastern Washington, which led to a matchup of two unbeaten teams to decide who emerged from the bracket. The St. Louis club had a fantastic start with a combined 17 goals scored to two conceded.
LAFC entered confidently and battled for 90 minutes. The local club was heartbroken after a questionable offside call took a goal off the board. According to Mitrovitch, Edwards managed to steal a ball just off the endline next to the goal and passed to Vivianna Solaire, who scored, but the referees waved off the play.
The two went into the halftime break still even at zero.
LAFC came out of the break well, again creating chances but not scoring. Mitrovitch thought his team looked to be the much stronger team in the first 20 minutes of the second half. The squad had a golden chance to change the tides after being awarded a penalty kick. However, St. Louis' keeper made a great save to keep the teams even.
"We were probably the better team," said Mitrovitch. "Throughout the game we created more chances but we didn't score like they did."
Later in the game, LAFC had a defensive breakdown after a long ball got past a handful of defenders and St. Louis broke through for a goal. St. Louis scored shortly after on a corner attack to make it 2-0, but LAFC never gave up.
The team kept creating chances but the St. Louis keeper made two more great saves in the final 10 minutes of the game.
"It was a tricky game," said Mitrovitch. "They were definitely the better of the teams we've played. They're a stronger team with a lot of speed."
The team had multiple chances to steal the game and head to the finals, and their head coach is proud of his team and how they represented the Santa Clarita Valley.
LAFC held the St. Louis side, averaging 8.5 goals, to just two scores. St. Louis would go on to lose in the NPL Finals to Los Angeles SC 03, 4-2, a team LAFC SCV recently faced in the State Cup.
LASC managed to win the State Cup title in penalty kicks in a tightly contested match and LAFC nearly got a rematch in Colorado.
The players cap off their club careers with a championship through an undefeated season in league play, their second consecutive Surf Cup title and a fantastic run at the NPL Finals.
Mitrovitch thought his defense was excellent all year long and was proud of the backline of Danielle Thompson, Emily Di Silverio, Emily Gulluzza, Lauren Benz and Emma Amaya.
The head coach also noted how dominant his midfielding corps was, consisting of Summer Hahn, Natalie Ramirez, Alexa Garcia and Yoshioka.
"I've seen a lot of good club teams of girls in the SCV," said Mitrovitch. "It's been the best team I've seen in the valley. Our club has been around for about 10 years. This was the most dominant year we've ever had. It's a good field of bright young ladies. They have a great future ahead of them."

Development Programme Accelerating With Four New Projects Announced
Goodman (NZ) Limited, the Manager of Goodman Property Trust ("GMT" or "Trust"), is pleased to announce further progress in the Trust's development programme with the commencement of four new industrial projects in Auckland.
The developments, which have a combined total project cost of $45.8 million , will add an additional 27,112 sqm of rentable area to the Trust's investment portfolio and are expected to generate around $3.4 million of annual rental income.
Goodman (NZ) Limited's Chief Executive Officer, John Dakin said "Strong property fundamentals and continuing customer demand is allowing us to accelerate our development programme. With new businesses choosing to locate to design built premises at our estates and existing customers exercising expansion options, we are targeting $100 million to $150 million of new development projects annually."
The largest of the new projects is a new manufacturing and warehouse facility for Orora Packaging (New Zealand) Limited, at M20 Business Park.
The Trust is also commencing a new 3,300 sqm warehouse, neighboring the Orora development. With limited vacancy and strong demand in Wiri, the uncommitted facility provides much needed capacity for customers seeking high quality space that offers direct access to both SH1 and SH20.
Scheduled to complete in October 2016, these two new developments have a combined total project cost of $26.9 million.
Existing customer partnerships have also facilitated two new warehouse projects at the Trust's Highbrook Business Park and Savill Link estates.
The CSR Viridian expansion at Highbrook, which was initially announced in 2013 with a deferred start, has increased in size by around 30% from its initial specification to 10,486 sqm. The enlarged factory warehouse will total over 18,000 sqm once completed and will feature extensive yard and hardstand areas.
Holden (New Zealand) Limited has also committed to a 2,002 sqm warehouse expansion that utilises the full site area at its distribution centre in Savill Link, Otahuhu.
Scheduled to complete in March 2016 and May 2016 respectively, these two projects have a total cost of $18.9 million. Both customers are extending their current leases as part of the expansion agreements, with the expiry for CSR Viridian now 2031, while the Holden lease extends out to 2022.

Tipping and other points
By Gareth Renowden • 15/02/2010 This post was syndicated from Hot Topic » Gareth - View original source
During the Copenhagen kerfuffle a lot of interesting stuff hit the web: here's something that deserves a bit more air – a Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) special issue on tipping elements in the earth system, edited by John Schellnhuber, the director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany.
Tipping elements (or points, as Malcolm Gladwell would have them) are changes that once started take on a life of their own, and can't easily be returned to their original state. In the climate system that might be the rapid loss of an ice sheet in a few decades or hundreds of years, while regrowing it might take many thousands. The PNAS special issue deals with nine: dust production in the Bodélé Depression in Chad, ENSO, Arctic sea ice and ice sheets, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, deep ocean hydrates (not shallow sea bed, Siberian methane) — David Archer dubs them a "slow tipping point", the Amazon rainforest (no "Amazongate" here, just a confirmation that concern is justified), monsoons, oceans, and policy responses to the climate challenge. And the best thing is that all the articles are available online, free (click on the link above). Schellnhuber contributes an introduction, and the Potsdam press release also provides a good overview. For some introductory thoughts, check out Tim Lenton's discussion here.
Another recent example of a real tipping point is the Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica. Recent modelling suggests that the glacier's grounding line retreated beyond a ridge in 1996, and is now free to retreat by several hundred kilometres inland. This could happen in a hundred years and result in the loss of half of the ice in the glacier — enough to raise sea level by 24cm. New Scientist reports:
Observations already show that the model severely underestimates the rate at which PIG's grounding line is retreating, says Katz. "Ours is a simple model of an ice sheet that neglects some important physics," says Katz. "The take-home message is that we should be concerned about tipping points in West Antarctica and we should do a lot more work to investigate," he says.

Al-Nujaba's spox in exclusive interview with MNA:
US grazes reactionary Arab regimes like flocks of sheep
TEHRAN, Sep. 21 (MNA) – Al-Nujaba's spokesman Nasr ash-Shimmari told MNA that the US grazes reactionary Arab regimes likes flocks of sheep, adding that the Resistance is equipped with highly advanced weapons and rockets.
The following is the full text of the interview:
In the past weeks, a chain of blasts happened in the positions and arsenals of the IPMF. For instance, an explosion happened in the arsenal of the Popular Forces in Amerli, Saladin, and some others near the airbase in Balad. Many Iraqi groups accused the US of carrying out the attacks. What is the chief cause of these explosions in your opinion?
Attack against the bases of the IPMF and targeting the commanders of these forces by American forces isn't strange or unprecedented, as they have repeatedly done such actions in their military operations in Iraq. Moreover, some attacks have been conducted against the Army and police of Iraq.
It seems as if the Iraqi government showed no response to these attacks and the attacks were suspiciously censored by the media whose main cause could be the pressures of the US on all Iraqi governments.
The cause of the said attacks can be the fact that the US regards the IPMF and the Islamic Resistance responsible for the defeat of the ISIS project; the project the US attempted to prolong and make changes into the map of the region so that the security of Israel, together with its own influence and dominance, would be guaranteed.
Besides, Americans consider the IPMF and Resistance the allies of Iran. Yet, we don't regard ourselves so, but beyond that, we believe that Muslims, in whatever land, form a single Ummah and have a single cause
The Iraqi prime minister, Adel Abd al-Mahdi, issued an order revoking the agreements over the flight of foreign drones and fighters in the sky of Iraq without the permission of Baghdad government. The commanders of the IPMF stressed that in case unknown drones fly in the Iraqi sky, they will confront it. What is your position in this regard?
The issuance of this order was a courageous and unprecedented act. We advocate this order as powerfully as possible for its implementation guarantees the security of the state, people and military forces.
However, we believe that the arrogant nature and vanity of Americans prevent them from observing this order, as they have done so and following the issuance of the order, they carried out some air attacks against the forces of the IPMF.
In the past few days, it was repeatedly mentioned that Israel has been involved in the attacks against the Iraqi Resistance groups and in the destructive operations in Iraq. In case this issue is proved, what will be the choice of the IPMF in response to Tel Aviv?
Although military experts look into the admission of the Zionist Regime to the bombing of the IPMF centres from another standpoint, we believe whatever the Zionists have said is a piece of evidence on the exchange of the parts of the Zionist Regime and the US.
The US feels danger about its presence and positions in Iraq as the weapons of the Resistance can easily target them. Thereby, the bombings have been attributed to the Zionist Regime as they think Israelis are too far from the arms of the Resistance to be targeted.
However, the attacks can be responded through two methods:
First: We regard the Zionist Regime and the US the same and if the American forces weren't present in Iraq, the Zionist couldn't reach the Iraqi sky easily. Therefore, the US should be known as responsible for these aggressions, and the response to these bombings will only target the US.
Second: We believe that the Zionist Regime isn't aware of the power and capabilities of Iraq properly; yet, the Iraqi Resistance and country can have access to deterrent weapons, even they may have such arms now.
In 2008, the Movement was inserted into the sanction list of the US, nonetheless, this action was not the end of US hostile actions against al-Nujaba, and some months ago, the US Ministry of Treasury imposed some sanctions against it. What is the nature of the US sanctions against al-Nujaba? And can they impact the activities of the Movement?
The sanction list is the list of dignity, honour and the list of the Right against the wrong and the world arrogant powers. We have never been the friends of the US to be its friend today. We have always been presented in the front of the battle against the world arrogance, in general terms, and against the US and the Zionist Regime, in specific terms. Even if the lines between the positions blur, we will still stand in the position of combat against arrogant powers.
But, concerning our sanctions, we ought to say they have had no impact, as no member or head of al-Nujaba has capital in a bank or none of the said people thinks of having recreations in US beaches.
The capital of combatants is faith and trust in God and their recreation is the battle on the path of Heaven. Certainly, we will remain in this position even if such sanctions are imposed again and again.
What is your idea about the 10-article order of the Iraqi prime minister? It is seen differently by different people, some say it will enforce the IPMF and others say that it leads to the dissolution of these forces.
We have repeatedly said that the 10-article order of the prime minister is on the organisation of affairs and not about the dissolution of the IPMF or downplaying its role, and many of its articles have been executed by the IPMF in the past.
We believe that the Resistance is not having a weapon or power. Although they are necessary, the Resistance is the belief owned by the combatants; therefore, the Resistance will remain until this faith exists. The same belief formed the IPMF and despite its limited equipment, it could achieve great victories; and now, it is everything different, as the power and equipment of the Resistance and the IPMF have highly developed.
A disputed issue, still dealt with in political and media arenas, is the continuation of the US military presence in Iraq and the existence of its bases in this country. The Resistance groups have long objected to this issue. What options do you have on the table concerning the final expulsion of the US forces of Iraq?
Our position about the illicitness of the presence of American forces in Iraq hasn't changed, as the parliament issues the permit for the presence of foreign forces in Iraqi land and not the government.
However, those who say the US is present in Iraq for advisory and training purposes are the ones having closed their eyes on the Sun in order to deny its existence.
Why should do the advisor or trainer have large bases with thousands of armoured military forces equipped with different weapons and fighters inside Iraqi land?
Indeed, their presence is military and for occupation.
The bill on the expulsion of the US forces of Iraq was presented to the Iraqi parliament, however, the speaker has laid it aside. But, following the issuance of the Fatwa by Ayatollah Haeri, the plan will strongly return to the parliament; and thus, there will be no way but the execution of this religious rule using all existing means and even through the military option.
What is your assessment of the IRI supports of the Resistance Groups in different parts of the region, specifically in Iraq? Basically, how do you see the part of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in the formation of the Resistance Groups across the region in four past decades?
I should openly announce that if there were no Islamic Republic, there would be no Islamic Resistance in Iraq, Lebanon or Palestine, and even if they existed, they would be weak.
Prior to the Islamic Republic, the Resistance had nothing but stones and some arms; yet, thanks to the supports of the IRI, today, the Resistance has the highly advanced weapons and thousands of missiles, and it is capable of vanquishing the Zionist Regime in Lebanon and Palestine, it has managed to conquer the American occupiers in Iraq and ousted them. Therefore, Americans had no other pretext to return to Iraq but the ISIS, and now, they are based in faraway areas and don't dear to come to central or southern areas of Iraq.
Today, we see that some rulers of the countries of the Region, such Saudis Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and etc., following the expansionist policies of the US and UK, are playing out the scenarios intended by the said powers. In your opinion, what is/are the cause/s of such following and dependence? Do this path and its following by heads of Arab states lead to the fulfillment of the aims of foreigners in the region, including Iraq?
The chief cause of the weakness of these regimes, that are like flocks of sheep grazed by the US, is the gap between them and their nation, as they wrong their nation and their bellies have become full with the ill-gotten materials.
We shouldn't forget that these weak governments have been established by the world arrogant powers, specifically by the UK and now, the US has inherited the position of the UK.
Certainly, a liberate man prefers the simple life in a desert to being a weak ruler, like Saudi heads, treated condescendingly by trump.
But, concerning the purposes of these regimes, I should mention that they are too weak to have any aim. They attempt for the fulfillment of the purposes and projects of the US, furthermore, they pay the costs of the stupidity of the US.
They are too weak to meet any aim in the region, and following the appearance of the signs of their demise, they are solely attempting to prolong their rule.

Q: How can I handle 128 bit little endian multiplication in Java without resorting to BigInteger I need to multiply two 8 byte (64 bit) arrays in the fastest way possible. The byte arrays are little endian. The arrays can be wrapped in a ByteBuffer and treated as little endian to easily resolve a java "long" value that correctly represents the bytes (but not the real nominal value since java longs are 2s compliment).
Java's standard way to handle large math is BigInteger. But that implementation is slow and unnecessary since im very strictly working with 64 bits x 64 bits. In addition, you can't throw the "long" value into one because the nominal value is incorrect, and I can't use the byte array directly because it's little endian. I need to be able to do this without having to use up more memory / CPU to reverse the array. This type of multiplication should be able to execute 1m+ times per second. BigInteger doesn't really come close to meeting that requirement anyway, so I'm trying to do it via splitting the high order bits from the low order bits, but I can't get it working consistently.
The high-order-bits-only code is only working for a subset of longs because even the intermediate addition can overflow. I got my current code from this answer....
high bits of long multiplication in Java?
Is there a more generic pattern for getting hi/lo order bits from 128 bit multiplication? That works for the largest long values?
Edit:
FWIW I'm prepared for the answer to be.. "cant do that in java, do it in c++ and call via JNI". Though I'm hoping someone can give a java solution before it comes to that.

A: As of Java 9 (which was a bit too new at the time this question was asked), there is now a trivial way to get the upper half of the 128-bit product of two signed 64-bit integers: Math.multiplyHigh
There is a relatively simple conversion from "upper half of signed product" to "upper half unsigned product" (see Hacker's Delight chapter 8), which can be used to implement an unsigned multiply high like this:
static long multiplyHighUnsigned(long x, long y) {
    long signedUpperHalf = Math.multiplyHigh(x, y);
    return signedUpperHalf + ((x >> 63) & y) + ((y >> 63) & x);
}

This has the potential to be more efficient (on platforms on which multiplyHigh is treated as an intrinsic function by the JIT) than the more manual approach used by the old answer, which I will leave below the line.

It can be done manually without BigInteger by splitting the longs up into two halves, creating the partial products, and then summing them up. Naturally the low half of the sum can be left out.
The partial products overlap, like this:
  LL
 LH
 HL
HH

So the high halves of LH and HL must be added to the high result, and furthermore the low halves of LH and HL together with the high half of LL may carry into the bits of the high half of the result. The low half of LL is not used.
So something like this (only slightly tested):
static long hmul(long x, long y) {
    long m32 = 0xffffffffL;
    // split
    long xl = x & m32;
    long xh = x >>> 32;
    long yl = y & m32;
    long yh = y >>> 32;
    // partial products
    long t00 = xl * yl;
    long t01 = xh * yl;
    long t10 = xl * yh;
    long t11 = xh * yh;
    // resolve sum and carries
    // high halves of t10 and t01 overlap with the low half of t11
    t11 += (t10 >>> 32) + (t01 >>> 32);
    // the sum of the low halves of t10 + t01 plus
    // the high half of t00 may carry into the high half of the result
    long tc = (t10 & m32) + (t01 & m32) + (t00 >>> 32);
    t11 += tc >>> 32;
    return t11;
}

This of course treats the input as unsigned, which does not mean they have to be positive in the sense that Java would treat them as positive, you can absolutely input -1501598000831384712L and -735932670715772870L and the right answer comes out, as confirmed by wolfram alpha.
If you are prepared to interface with native code, in C++ with MSVC you could use __umulh, and with GCC/Clang you can make the product as an __uint128_t and just shift it right, the codegen for that is actually fine, it doesn't cause a full 128x128 multiply.

Akufo-Addo To Appoint Special Prosecutor To Deal With Corruption
Posted By: adminon: December 13, 2016 In: General News, HeadlinesNo Comments
The President-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has indicated one of his initial priorities would be to establish the Office of a Special Prosecutor as part of measures to deal with corruption.
The move, according to him was intended to "separate politics from criminal investigations."
Nana Addo won last week's Presidential Elections convincingly by a 54 per cent margin as against incumbent President John Mahama's 44 percent, a first time a President has failed to win re-election in Ghana.
In his first media interview with the BBC's Akwasi Sarpong which was monitored by Graphic Online, Nana Addo talked about his top priorities as President.
Tackling corruption
A big part of Nana Addo's presidential campaign was about uprooting corruption and when Akwasi Sarpong asked him how he intends to deal with that and does he intend to prosecute people from the previous administration, Nana Addo said: "We have decided that as much as possible we want to take the politics out of it."
He said they have put out a number of ideas which were in their [NPP] manifesto and in the things that "I'm saying about institutional reforms, personal examples that myself and leaders of our party and government have to give, it's a mix of ideas that we believe will go a long way to reducing the incidents of corruption in our national life."
Special Prosecutor
This, according to Nana Addo was to ensure that, "screams of witch-hunting etc. don't arise by establishing an Office of Special Prosecutor of somebody who will be independent of the Executive and somebody whose remits will be to investigate and tackle issues of corruption."
"… and hopefully that person is going to be somebody who commands respect of the society and at the same time has an independent mind to make the decisions."
"What we have to be careful of in our situation is, one, to witch-hunt, but at the same time, we ought not to give the impression that those of us in political life are somewhat have some sort of immunity from investigation merely because we are politicians, I don't think that will be right, we are citizens of Ghana first and foremost," he noted.
Nana Addo also indicated his plans to tackle the economy saying turning around the economy would be his top priority.
When asked how he felt about winning the elections, he said, "First of all I was grateful to Ghanaians for giving me the opportunity and also for the fact that the issues that I thought were the issues facing our people have been endorsed by them, that I was right in my analysis of where we are and what we needed to do and what the problems were."
"I don't want to sound smart but it is a certain satisfaction for a politician when your analysis is proven right by events."
When asked what were his top priorities, Nana Addo said, "It has to be to get our economy moving again. The Ghanaian economy has been in a nose-dive for the last five years, low growth, widespread unemployment, huge debts, that's the reality of our situation in Ghana, and especially the unemployment among the youth has reached alarming proportions and if we don't find a method of dealing with it, our country will … be running towards all kinds of problems along the line."
Appointees
Giving hints of who was likely to be part of his government, Nana Addo said his appointees have to have the fundamental connect to the group of ideas that are set out in the manifesto.
"Secondly of court, their competence, their capacity to master the briefs that are going to be given to them and carry them out."
"Thirdly the commitment to the Ghana Project, the loyalty to Ghana, you are coming to work for the people of Ghana and not for yourself."

'Aye aye, Cap'n,' said Quarrel. 'You jes leave 'em all to me.'
He went out.
Bond looked at the whisky bottle, then he made up his mind and poured half a glass on top of three ice cubes. He took the box of benzedrine tablets out of his pocket and slipped a tablet between his teeth.
'Here's luck,' he said to Strangways and took a deep swallow. He sat down and enjoyed the tough hot taste of his first drink for more than a week. 'Now,' he said,' tell me exactly what they do when they're ready to sail. How long it takes them to clear the island and get through the reef. If it's the last time, don't forget they'll be taking off an extra six men and some stores. Let's try to work it out as closely as we can.'
In a moment Bond was immersed in a sea of practical details and the shadow of fear had fled back to the dark pools under the palm trees.
Exactly at ten o'clock, with nothing but anticipation and excitement in him, the shimmering black bat-like figure slipped off the rocks into ten feet of water and vanished under the sea.
'Go safely,' said Quarrel to the spot where Bond had disappeared. He crossed himself. Then he and Strangways moved back through the shadows to the house to sleep uneasily in watches and wait fearfully for what might come.
VALLEY OF SHADOWS
BOND was carried straight to the bottom by the weight of the limpet mine that he had secured to his chest with tapes and by the leaded belt which he wore round his waist to correct the buoyancy of the compressed-air cylinders.
He didn't pause for an instant but immediately streaked across the first fifty yards of open sand in a fast crawl, his face just above the sand. The long webbed feet would almost have doubled his normal speed if he had not been hampered by the weight he was carrying and by the light harpoon gun in his left hand, but he travelled fast and in under a minute he came to rest in the shadow of a mass of sprawling coral.
He paused and examined his sensations.
He was warm in the rubber suit, warmer than he would have been swimming in the sunshine. He found his movements very easy and breathing perfectly simple so long as his breath was even and relaxed. He watched the tell-tale bubbles streaming up against the coral in a fountain of silver pearls and prayed that the small waves were hiding them.
In the open he had been able to see perfectly. The light was soft and milky but not strong enough to melt the mackerel shadows of the surface waves that chequered the sand. Now, up against the reef, there was no reflection from the bottom, and the shadows under the rocks were black and impenetrable.
He risked a quick glance with his pencil torch and immediately the underbelly of the mass of brown tree-coral came alive. Anemones with crimson centres waved their velvet tentacles at him, a colony of black sea-eggs moved their toledo-steel spines in sudden alarm and a hairy sea-centipede halted in its hundred strides and questioned with its eyeless head. In the sand at the base of the tree a toad-fish softly drew its hideous warty head back into its funnel and a number of flower-like sea-worms whisked out of sight down their gelatinous tubes. A covey of bejewelled butterfly and angel fish flirted into the light and he marked the flat spiral of a Long-spined Star Shell.
Bond tucked the light back in his belt.
Above him the surface of the sea was a canopy of quicksilver. It crackled softly like fat frying in a saucepan. Ahead the moonlight glinted down into the deep crooked valley that sloped down and away on the route he had to follow. He left his sheltering tree of coral and walked softly forward. Now it was not so easy. The light was tricky and bad and the petrified forest of the coral reef was full of culs-de-sac and tempting but misleading avenues.
Sometimes he had to climb almost to the surface to get over a tangled scrub of tree- and antler-coral and when this happened he profited by it to check his position with the moon that glowed like a huge pale rocket-burst through the broken water. Sometimes the hourglass waist of a niggerhead gave him shelter and he rested for a few moments knowing that the small froth of his air-bubbles would be hidden by the jagged knob protruding above the surface. Then he would focus his eyes on the phosphorescent scribbles of the minute underwater night-life and perceive whole colonies and populations about their microscopic business.
There were no big fish about, but many lobsters were out of their holes looking huge and prehistoric in the magnifying lens of the water. Their stalk-like eyes glared redly at him and their foot-long spined antennae asked him for the password. Occasionally they scuttled nervously backwards into their shelters, their powerful tails kicking up the sand, and crouched on the tips of their eight hairy feet, waiting for the danger to pass. Once the great streamers of a portuguese man-of-war floated slowly by. They almost reached his head from the surface, fifteen feet away, and he remembered the whiplash of a sting from the contact of one of their tendrils that had burned for three of his days at Manatee Bay. If they caught a man across the heart they could kill him. He saw several green and speckled moray eels, the latter moving like big yellow and black snakes along patches of sand, the green ones baring their teeth from some hole in the rock, and several West Indian blowfish, like brown owls with huge soft green eyes. He poked at one with the end of his gun and it swelled out to the size of a football and became a mass of dangerous white spines. Wide sea fans swayed and beckoned in the eddies, and in the grey valleys they caught the light of the moon and waved spectrally, like fragments of the shrouds of men buried at sea. Often in the shadows there were unexplained, heavy movements and swirls in the water and the sudden glare of large eyes at once extinguished. Then Bond would whirl round, thumbing up the safety-catch on his harpoon gun, and stare back into the darkness. But he shot at nothing and nothing attacked him as he scrambled and slithered through the reef.
The hundred yards of coral took him a quarter of an hour. When he got through and rested on a round lump of brain-coral under the shelter of a last niggerhead, he was glad that nothing but a hundred yards of grey-white water lay in front of him. He still felt perfectly fresh and the elation and clarity of mind produced by the benzedrine were still with him, but the gauntlet of hazards through the reef had been a constant fret, with the risk of tearing his rubber skin always on his mind. Now the forest of razor-blade coral was behind, to be exchanged for shark and barracuda or perhaps a sudden stick of dynamite dropped into the centre of the little flower of his bubbles on the surface.
It was while he was measuring the dangers ahead that the octopus got him. Round both ankles.
He had been sitting with his feet on the sand and suddenly they were manacled to the base of the round toadstool of coral on which he was resting. Even as he realized what had happened a tentacle began to snake up his leg and another one, purple in the dim light, wandered down his webbed left foot.
He gave a start of fear and disgust and at once he was on his feet, shuffling and straining to get away. But there was no inch of yield and his movements only gave the octopus an opportunity to pull his heels tighter under the overhang of the round rock. The strength of the brute was prodigious and Bond could feel his balance going fast. In a moment he would be pulled down flat on his face and then, hampered by the mine on his chest and the cylinders on his back, it might be almost impossible to get at the beast.
Bond snatched his dagger out of his belt and jabbed down between his legs. But the overhang of the rock impeded him and he was terrified of cutting his rubber skin. Suddenly he was toppled over, lying on the sand. At once his feet began to be drawn into a wide lateral cleft under the rock. He scrabbled at the sand and tried to curl round to get within range with the dagger. But the thick hump of the mine protruding from his chest prevented him. On the edge of panic, he remembered the harpoon gun. Before, he had dismissed it as being a hopeless weapon at that short range, but now it was the only chance. It lay on the sand where he had left it. He reached for it and put up the safety-catch. The mine prevented him from aiming. He slid the barrel along his legs and probed each of his feet with the tip of the harpoon to find the gap between them. At once a tentacle seized the steel tip and began tugging. The gun slipped between his manacled feet and he pulled the trigger blindly.
Immediately a great cloud of viscous, stringy ink rolled out of the cleft towards his face. But one leg was free and then the other and he whipped them round and under him and seized the haft of the three-foot harpoon where it disappeared under the rock. He pulled and strained until, with a rending of flesh, it came away from the black fog that hung over the hole. Panting, he got up and stood away from the rock, the sweat pouring down his face under the mask. Above him, the tell-tale stream of silver bubbles rose straight to the surface and he cursed the wounded 'pus-feller' in its lair.
But there was no time to worry further with it and he re-loaded his gun and struck out with the moon over his right shoulder.
Now he made good going through the misty grey water and he concentrated only on keeping his face a few inches above the sand and his head well down to streamline his body. Once, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a stingray as big as a ping-pong table shuffle out of his path, the tip of its great speckled wings beating like a bird's, its long horned tail streaming out behind it. But he paid it no attention, remembering that Quarrel had said that rays never attack except in self-defence. He reflected that it had probably come in over the outer reef to lay its eggs, or 'Mermaids' Purses' as the fishermen call them, because they are shaped like a pillow with a stiff black string at each corner, on the sheltered sandy bottom.
Many shadows of big fish lazed across the moonlit sand, some as long as himself. When one followed beside him for at least a minute he looked up to see the white belly of a shark ten feet above him like a glaucous tapering airship. Its blunt nose was buried inquisitively in his stream of air-bubbles. The wide sickle slit of its mouth looked like a puckered scar. It leant sideways and glanced down at him out of one hard pink naked eye, then it wobbled its great scythe-shaped tail and moved slowly into the wall of grey mist.
He frightened a family of squids, ranging from about six pounds down to an infant of six ounces, frail and luminous in the half-light, hanging almost vertical in a diminishing chorus-line. They righted themselves and shot off with streamlined jet propulsion.
Bond rested for a moment about half way and then went on. Now there were barracuda about, big ones of up to twenty pounds. They looked just as deadly as he had remembered them. They glided above him like silver submarines, looking down out of then: angry tigers' eyes. They were curious about him and about his bubbles and they followed him, around and above him, like a pack of silent wolves. By the time Bond met the first bit of coral that meant he was coming up with the island there must have been twenty of them moving quietly, watchfully in and out of the opaque wall that enclosed him.
Bond's skin cringed under the black rubber but he could do nothing about them and he concentrated on his objective.
Suddenly there was a long metallic shape hanging in the water above him. Behind it there was a jumble of broken rock leading steeply upwards.
It was the keel of the Secatur and Bond's heart thumped in his chest.
He looked at the Rolex watch on his wrist. It was three minutes past eleven o'clock. He selected the seven-hour fuse from the handful he extracted from a zipped side-pocket and inserted it in the fuse pocket of the mine and pushed it home. The rest of the fuses he buried in the sand so that if he was captured the mine would not be betrayed.

Q: Java Scheduled Executor Threads going into Waiting State So, I am trying to implement a basic async messaging protocol from my Java client to Go server, using two custom threads, with a scheduled thread executor. So, I initiate a single TCP socket from Java client to Go server, and set Read and Write Buffers on both sides.
Writer thread saves a unique ID into Redis server corresponding to each request, and write the request using PrintWriter on TCP socket.
WriterThread
public class WithdrawRequestWriter extends Thread {

    private static final int START_ACCOUNT_NO = 1;
    private static final int END_ACCOUNT_NO = 2_000;
    private static final int AMOUNT_TO_WITHDRAW = 100;

    private PrintWriter writer;
    private Jedis jedis;

    public WithdrawRequestWriter(PrintWriter writer, Jedis jedis) {
        this.writer = writer;
        this.jedis = jedis;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        int i = 0;
        for (int accountNo = START_ACCOUNT_NO; accountNo <= END_ACCOUNT_NO; accountNo++) {
            String uniqueId = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
            if (jedis.set(uniqueId, String.valueOf(accountNo), "NX", "EX", 10) != null) {
                writer.write(uniqueId + " " + accountNo + " " + AMOUNT_TO_WITHDRAW + "\n");
                writer.flush();
            } else {
                System.err.println("Setting of UUID in redis failed: " + uniqueId);
            }
        }
    }
}

Similarly, reader thread waits for a response from the server. As soon it receives one, it matches the unique ID in Redis, it mark them as done (success/failure).
ReaderThread
public class WithdrawRequestReader extends Thread {

    private BufferedReader reader;
    private Jedis jedis;

    public WithdrawRequestReader(BufferedReader reader, Jedis jedis) {
        this.reader = reader;
        this.jedis = jedis;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        String response;
        while (true) {
            try {
                if ((response = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                    String[] tokenizedResponse = response.split(" ");
                    System.out.println("Response is: " + response);
                    String value = jedis.get(tokenizedResponse[0]);
                    if (value != null) {
                        System.out.println("Request Token: " + tokenizedResponse[0]
                                + " | Status: " + tokenizedResponse[1]
                                + " | Account: " + tokenizedResponse[2]
                                + " | Amount: " + tokenizedResponse[3]
                                + " | Remaining Balance: " + tokenizedResponse[4]
                                + " | ResponeStr: " + tokenizedResponse[5]);
                    }
                } else {
                    System.out.println("Waiting for response...");
                }
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
                System.exit(3);
            }
        }
    }
}

Main Thread
public class TestClient {

    private static final String HOSTNAME = "localhost";
    private static final int PORT = 12410;

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        Socket socket = new Socket(HOSTNAME, PORT);
        PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
        Jedis jedis = new Jedis("localhost");

        ScheduledExecutorService scheduledExecutorService = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(2);
//        ScheduledExecutorService scheduledExecutorService = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor();
        WithdrawRequestReader readerThread = new WithdrawRequestReader(reader, jedis);
        WithdrawRequestWriter writerThread = new WithdrawRequestWriter(writer, jedis);
        scheduledExecutorService.schedule(writerThread, 0, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
        scheduledExecutorService.schedule(readerThread, 0, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
    }
}

When I use a singlePoolThreadExecutor, the tasks are executed sequentially (as expected), and everything goes smooth. But, when I use threadPoolExecutor with two threads, after few read and write, they go into waiting state, indefinitely. I checked from free tools available online if there is some deadlock, but got no help. Below is the thread dump, when they are stuck.

I believe the Go server is not an issue, otherwise single thread executor should also stuck, but it is not. Probably, I am having some deadlock, but unable to figure out the exact reason. Can someone please help. If you want anything else, please let me know.

A: The socket and stream part of the code seems to be correct. It is correct to use the input and output streams from a socket in parallel because they are independent streams.
The problem is the Jedis component. Jedis is not thread safe. The Jedis documentation says:

You shouldn't use the same instance from different threads because
  you'll have strange errors. And sometimes creating lots of Jedis
  instances is not good enough because it means lots of sockets and
  connections, which leads to strange errors as well. A single Jedis
  instance is not threadsafe!...

It is necassary to rewrite the code so that each thread has a private instance of Jedis.

Arsenal right back Hector Bellerin says it feels 'special' for him to be linked with a summer move to Barcelona.
Bellerin, who was a former youth player at Barca, has been inked with a return to Spain for 12 months now as he continues to develop into one of the best right-backs in the Premier Leaue.
The 22-year-old signed a deal last November that keeps him at Arsenal until 2023, but despite this he is flattered by the rumoured interest.
'It's nice there are a lot of big clubs that are interested in me, but if one of those is Barcelona, that's special.
Bellerin left Barcelona in 2011 due to frustrations at a lack of pathways into the first team, and has previously said how he felt underappreciated at the Catalan club.
However circumstances have changed at Barcelona, and right back has become a consistently problematic position for Luis Enrique's team.
First choice Aleix Vidal suffered a season ending ankle injury in February, Sergi Roberto has regularly – and often unconvincingly – played at right wing back, and defensive midfielder Javier Mascherano has forced to play the position.
Such have been Barca's issues, there were rumours they were planning a move for Stoke City full back Glen Johnson in the January transfer window.

Zhu Zaiyu (ur. 1536 w okręgu Henei w prowincji Henan, zm. 19 maja 1611 tamże) – chiński uczony okresu dynastii Ming, zajmujący się głównie teorią muzyki.

Był potomkiem Hongxi, czwartego cesarza z dynastii Ming. Jego ojciec, Zhu Houhuan, był matematykiem i zajmował się reformą kalendarza, popadł jednak w niełaskę cesarską. Zaiyu na znak protestu w latach 1550–1569 mieszkał samotnie w lepiance, a po śmierci ojca w 1593 roku zrzekł się przysługującego mu dziedzicznego tytułu książęcego. Zajmował się teorią i historią muzyki, badając dawne instrumenty, melodie, tańce, obrzędy i pieśni. Plonem wieloletnich studiów był wydany w 1606 roku komplet dzieł pod wspólnym tytułem Yuelü quanshu (樂律全書) (zachowało się 21 z pierwotnych 28 lub 29 tomów). Po jego publikacji, w uznaniu zasług naukowych, przywrócono mu oficjalnie tytuł księcia.

W pracy Lülü jingyi (律呂精義) z 1596 roku, opierając się na własnych badaniach, opisał system stroju równomiernie temperowanego. Jego ustalenia w tej materii, radykalnie sprzeczne z tradycyjnymi normami muzyki chińskiej, nie wywarły jednak wówczas żadnego wpływu na praktykę wykonawczą.

The Orbita Marble Coffee table is a stunning display of when natural beauty and industrial design collide. This table gets its classic, European luxe from its high quality European Carrara marble top and its distinguished appeal from a sturdy powder coated steel base. Boasting a strong presence, this classic piece can be styled up and down to suit its environment. Pair it with natural elements to bring out its casual vibe or accentuate its elegance by playing with brass tones and luxury fabrics.
* Please Note that marble is a natural stone and thus variations is colour, texture, pattern, density and thickness may be present. This individuality is what gives each piece it's own individual appearance.

I'm also just now trying it for Hep C. I tried the Beck protocols, too, but I didn't seem to have any benefit. I wasn't 100% diligent with it, though. The magnetic pulser seemed to make my liver more inflamed, though. I've been using Lloyd Wright's protocol to good benefit, feeling better, normal enzymes and dramatically lowered viral load, but haven't experienced a cure yet. I'm going to wait until 6 weeks to do the expensive viral load count after starting the Miracle-Mineral-Supplement . I don't know if it takes a while for the virus to exit the blood stream, but 6 weeks seems to be the common amount of time doctor's wanted to wait after discontinuing other liver affecting drugs like ibuprofen and Tylenol before retesting.

China's Hygon Unveils x86 Processors Based on AMD's Epyc Server Chip
Today's topics include Chinese chip maker Hygon building x86 chips modeled on AMD's Epyc design, and Microsoft introducing the Surface Go two-in-one tablet for $399.
Advanced Micro Devices in 2016 announced a joint venture deal with Chinese chip maker Hygon to produce x86 processors based closely on AMD's Epyc server chips. Two years later, the joint venture is producing the "Dhyana" systems-on-a-chip, which are extremely similar to the Epyc processors, with the only real differences being the internally stored vendor ID and family series number.
The move to produce x86-based chips in China comes with far-reaching industry and political implications. AMD has long been in the shadow of Intel, and this deal brought an immediate $293 million in licensing fees to AMD and the promise of royalties on any chips developed by Hygon down the road.
It also gave AMD an avenue into the large processor market in China, which has been increasingly difficult for U.S. tech vendors to get into.
Chinese Company Making x86 Chips Based on AMD Epyc
Microsoft Introduces $399 Surface Go Tablet
On July 9, Microsoft released a new, more portable version of the Surface Pro, called the Surface Go. The company claims its 10-inch touch display, which is more than 2 inches smaller than the Surface Pro's screen, is ideal for the classroom.
The Surface Go includes an Intel Pentium Gold Processor and either 4GB or 8GB of RAM. Storage options include 64GB of Embedded Multimedia Card or solid-state drives with either 128GB or 256GB of capacity. Measuring 9.6 inches by 6.9 inches and a third of an inch thick, the Surface Go comes close to the 10.5-inch iPad Pro in terms of portability.
Prices start at $399, which is $400 less than the Surface Pro's current price tag of $799. Microsoft is accepting preorders in select markets, with an Aug. 2 ship date.

Study measures changes in psychosocial attitudes after beer drinking
Media Release: European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP)
"For the science and treatment of disorders of the brain"

What does drinking beer really do? A new study has shown that drinking beer affects the way we see specific emotions and allows us to see happy faces faster. It also has surprising effects on sexual perception. These results* are presented at the ECNP Conference in Vienna, with simultaneous publication in the peer-reviewed journal Psychopharmacology.
Although the vast majority of adults have direct experience of drinking alcohol, there is surprisingly little scientific data on the effects of alcohol on the processing of emotional social information or on sexual arousal, and no data on the effects of alcohol on empathy. Now researchers from the University Hospital in Basel, Switzerland, have attempted to answer some of the questions around the way alcohol alters the way we relate to others, and how alcohol affects sexual arousal.
In a double-blind, random-order, cross-over study, researchers enlisted 60 healthy participants (30 men, 30 women) aged between 18 and 50.They then gave 30 of them a glass of alcoholic beer (0.5L depending on body weight and sex). This raised their blood alcohol content to around 0.4 g/L Thirty control subjects were given non-alcoholic beer.
The subjects then underwent a range of tasks, including a face recognition test, empathy test, and sexual arousal test. At the end of the tests, the subjects and controls were switched and the process repeated. The main results they found were:
•	Drinking beer helps people see happy faces faster.
•	It also increased the tendency to want to be with others in a happy social situation
•	These effects were greater in women than in men, but were also greater in those who had previously shown some social inhibition
•	It made it easier for people (especially women) to view explicit sexual images, but it didn't seem to lead to greater sexual arousal
The researchers also found that 'before and after' levels of the hormone oxytocin did not change. (oxytocin is thought to mediate aspects of social cognition and is involved in bonding).
Lead researcher, Professor Matthias Liechti (University Hospital, Basel) said:
"The effect of many medications and substances of abuse have been tested on various tests of emotion processing and social cognition. However, although, many people drink beer and know its effects through personal experience there is surprisingly little scientific data on its effects on the processing of emotional social information. We found that drinking a glass of beer helps people see happy faces faster, and enhances concern for positive emotional situations. Alcohol also facilitates the viewing of sexual images, consistent with disinhibition, but it does not actually enhance sexual arousal. These effects of alcohol on social cognition likely enhance sociability".
Commenting, Professor Wim van den Brink (Amsterdam), past Chair of the ECNP Scientific Programme Committee, said:
"This is an interesting study confirming conventional wisdom that alcohol is a social lubricant and that moderate use of alcohol makes people happier, more social and less inhibited when it comes to sexual engagement. The sex differences in the findings can either be explained by differences in blood alcohol concentration between males and females with the same alcohol intake, differences in tolerance due to differences in previous levels of alcohol consumption or by socio-cultural factors. It should also be recognized that different effects of alcohol can be seen according to whether your blood alcohol is increasing or decreasing, and of course how much alcohol you have taken. Finally, as Shakespeare noted**, alcohol-related emotions and cognitions as studied are not always consistent with actual behaviors".

Congress abstract: Acute emotional and social cognitive effects of beer. Presented Monday 19th Sept, 12.15-13.45
P. Dolder, F. Holze, S. Harder, M.E. Liechti, University Hospital Basel, Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology, Basel, Switzerland
Background: Alcohol reportedly enhances social interaction. However, acute effects of alcohol on social cognition are not well studied. For example, alcohol-dependent patients show lower empathy compared with controls. However, no data are available on the acute effects of alcohol on empathy. Alcohol consumption has also been implicated in sexual disinhibition and sexual risk taking. However, unclear is whether alcohol actually enhances sexual arousal and desire or produces disinhibition, and we are unaware of studies that evaluated whether alcohol acutely enhances subjective sexual arousal by sexual/erotic visual stimuli.
Methods: We investigated the effects of a low-to-moderate dose of alcohol (target blood alcohol concentration [BAC], 0.4 g/L) using the dynamic face emotion recognition task (FERT), Multifaceted Empathy Test (MET), and Sexual Arousal Task (SAT) and alcoholic or non-alcoholic beer in a double-blind, random-order, cross-over study in 60 healthy social drinkers (all European/Caucasian, 30 men, 30 women; mean age: 25±4 years). All these tests have previously been used with other psychoactive substances [1–3]. We also assessed subjective effects using visual analog scales (VASs), BACs, and plasma oxytocin levels. Oxytocin is associated with prosocial behaviour and improved emotion recognition.
The inclusion criterion was age of 18–50 years. The exclusion criteria were pregnancy, chronic or acute medical condition, current or previous personal history of psychotic or major affective disorder, alcohol use disorder, alcohol intolerance/hypersensitivity, history of alcohol abuse in first-degree relatives, lifetime prevalence of illicit drug use of more than 15 times, the use of any illicit substances within the last week or during the study period, and the use of medications that might interfere with alcohol.
Results: In the present study we found that alcohol increased VAS ratings of any drug effect, liking, high, happy, talkative, open, and want to be with others. The subjective effects of alcohol were greater in women and in participants with higher trait inhibitedness. Greater liking was found in carriers of the G allele of the GABARA2 rs279858 single-nucleotide polymorphism confirming previous data. Alcohol facilitated the recognition of happy faces on the FERT and enhanced emotional empathy for positive stimuli on the MET, particularly in participants with low trait empathy. Pictures of explicit sexual content were rated as less pleasant than neutral pictures after non-alcoholic beer but not after alcoholic beer. Explicit sexual pictures were rated as more pleasant after alcoholic beer compared with non-alcoholic beer, particularly in women. Alcohol did not alter the levels of circulating oxytocin.
Conclusion: Altogether, alcohol biased emotion recognition toward better decoding of positive emotions and increased emotional concern for positive stimuli. Although these effects are similar to those of oxytocin, there is no support for a mediating role of oxytocin. Alcohol also facilitated the viewing of sexual images, consistent with disinhibition, but it did not actually enhance sexual arousal.
