Chris joined as Chief Executive in 2009 and has led our business with distinction. He has been instrumental at putting placemaking, sustainability, design excellence and a focus on the customer at the heart of how we do business. Under Chris's leadership British Land has consistently created outstanding places, best demonstrated by our mixed-use London campuses Broadgate, Paddington and Regents Place. We have delivered several iconic London buildings and we look ahead to the unique opportunity we have at Canada Water.
Chris has shown consistent leadership to bring about notable cultural change and has made a lasting impression through his work to champion diversity, inclusion and opportunity in Real Estate. He will leave having established a high-quality team, with a broad range of skills, experiences and perspectives which is well placed to take British Land forward under Simon's leadership.
The Board are confident that Simon is the right person to lead British Land forward. He is a proven, growth-orientated business leader with significant Real Estate experience and expertise across various asset classes. We look forward to working with Simon in his new role."
Chris Grigg, Chief Executive, said: "It has been a privilege to lead British Land over the last 11 years, but I am confident that now is the right time to hand over to Simon. I am immensely proud of what we have delivered over my time as CEO. We've significantly repositioned our portfolio towards our London mixed use business and, through our campuses, we have created three world-class neighbourhoods for London that not only resonate with our customers but truly benefit their local communities. Buildings such as the Leadenhall Building and Clarges delivered significant financial returns and will stand as London landmarks for years to come. I would like to place on record my thanks to the Board of British Land and all of my colleagues, old and new, for their support and wish them every success for the future."
Simon Carter, Chief Financial Officer, said: "It has been a great pleasure to work with Chris and it is an honour to succeed him as CEO. Over his time at British Land I have seen first-hand the significant cultural, organisational and strategic change Chris has delivered right across our company. Like many businesses, we face short-term challenges because of the current covid crisis, and we continue to respond to the longer-term structural changes in the way people are using real estate. I am convinced however that this brings opportunity and I am confident that with our expert teams and world class assets we are well placed to continue the evolution of British Land and deliver sustainable value over the long term."
Simon Carter's terms on appointment:
Simon will receive CEO employment terms in line with British Land's remuneration policy. His basic salary will be £750,000 per annum and his other benefits will remain unchanged in line with his current Executive Director contract.

The government of India is planning to introduce an "independent operator of gas pipeline "for the advancement of natural gas pipeline infrastructure. This system will be helpful for both all-natural gas producers and consumers for easy access to fuel transport infrastructure. The Independent operator of gas will be also known as Transport system of the operator (TSO) or Pipeline system operator (PSO). The major role of TSO OR PSO in natural gas pipeline infrastructure will manage a transport digital system of booking pipeline capacity for transport of natural gas from producers to the consumers on payment of a fee, which will be decided by regulator company of gas pipeline such as Gail India Limited. The natural gas pipeline network operating in the country today is operated by six players – GAILIndia), Gujarat State Petronet Limited GSPL, Gujarat Gas Company Limited GGCL, Reliance Gas Transportation Infrastructure Limited RGTIL, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, IOCL, and Assam Gas Company Limited.
In such a multi-operator system, a revenue sharing model may be implemented where all pipeline owners would be allowed to develop a network according to the PNGRB regulations while the Independent operator would work as a shell company, operating the entire network, having equity of each pipeline owner proportionate to the pipeline capacity that the owner entity offers to independent operator of gas pipeline.
Alternatively, a model where the entry charge would be collected by the transporter, wherever the gas enters a pipeline system, and the exit charges would be collected by the independent operator, who delivers the gas to a consumer, may be implemented. In this model the sharing of revenues would be decided by the independent operator based on a formula. The regulator should start the process of setting up of the framework and infrastructure for such an independent operator system. This type of system may be operationalized with development of the gas grid in next 3-4 years. An independent system operator would help ensure that the interests of all participants are protected. Every Independent natural gas pipeline operator's primary focus will be on operation and maintenance of natural gas pipeline in such a way that it would continuously provide un-interrupted services to customers with utmost reliability and safety without any untoward incident which can adversely impact the environment.
1)Accelerating the pace towards market-based gas economy
2) Independent operator of gas pipeline would be a strong pillar to increase the share of gas in the energy mix from the current 6% to about 15% by 2030. Development and easy access to gas infrastructure would play a key role achieving above target.
3) Independent operator of gas pipeline will drive competition across the value chain and stimulate investments in exploration and production along with downstream infrastructure. Moreover, market-determined and affordable pricing would also boost industrial growth and economic competitiveness.

Q: 2D C++ Collision detection almost perfect, but not quite? Just to preface this question please note I am not asking 'fix my code', rather what techniques would I employ to fix this problem. I also apologise if my spelling is not very good.
Okay so I have a 2D platformer game which compares the players position with all of the tiles (in a loop), the resolves the collision accordingly. This is pretty much the structure of the main game loop:

*

*Check all collisions (And enable jumping if a collision bellow the
player occurred)

*Get input and change player velocity accordingly

*Add gravity to the Y velocity

*Apply velocity and friction to the players position

*Draw the game

*repeat

But despite this system working there are two minor, but noticeable problems with the collision system (I have provided images to make it easier). There are two problems, the first is not that bad, but the second renderers the game almost unplayable!
Problem 1. When just moving left and right across the floor in the game, occasionally the player looses all the velocity it has gained and then has to re-accumulate that velocity. I think this is because every now and then my collision detection function does not return properly. here is a image:

I hope that was clear, the problem only really becomes apparent when moving across lots of flat land.
Problem 2 (This one is way worse) The problem is that player can essentially jump up walls, because if you say for example hold down left arrow and hold jump, the player will jump up the wall. I am assuming this is because My collision detection function is returning true if the collision is coming from the side (although it should not). Here is another picture (the text is small, sorry):

So here is my collision detection function, which should take in two 'Objects' then return the direction from the first object at which the collision occurred, I think the problem arouses when It comes to determining the direction as this is causing problems, as shown above:
//Find the collision vectors
        float vectorX = (a.Position.x + (a.Scale.x / 2)) - (b.Position.x + (b.Scale.x / 2));
        float vectorY = (a.Position.y + (a.Scale.y / 2)) - (b.Position.y + (b.Scale.y / 2));

        //Find the distance between the two objects
        float deltaWidth = (a.Scale.x / 2) + (b.Scale.x / 2);
        float deltaHeight = (a.Scale.y / 2) + (b.Scale.y / 2);

        //Stores the direction of collision
        Direction collisionDir = Direction::None;

        //Check if the two objects are intersecting on the x and y axis
        if (fabs(vectorX) < deltaWidth && fabs(vectorY) < deltaHeight)
        {
            //The direction of collision
            float directionX = deltaWidth - fabs(vectorX);
            float directionY = deltaHeight - fabs(vectorY);

            //Check for vertical collision
            if (directionX >= directionY)
            {
                //Check for collisions from the top
                if (vectorY > 0)
                {
                    a.Velocity.y = 0;
                    a.Position.y += directionY;
                    collisionDir = Direction::Up;
                }

                //Collisions form the botttom
                else
                {
                    a.Velocity.y = 0;
                    a.Position.y -= directionY;
                    collisionDir = Direction::Down;
                }
            }

            else if (directionX < directionY / 2)
            {
                //Check for collisions from the left
                if (vectorX > 0 )
                {
                    a.Velocity.x = 0;
                    a.Position.x += directionX;
                    collisionDir = Direction::Left;
                }

                //Collisions form the right side
                else
                {
                    a.Velocity.x = 0;
                    a.Position.x -= directionX;
                    collisionDir = Direction::Right;
                }
            }
        }

        //Return the direction.
        return collisionDir;

This will return a direction, My other code also checks if that direction == Bottom, then it will allow jumping.
Thank-you for any help. I am practising for Ludum Dare, because I plan on (probably) making a platformer and If I cant figure out collision detection I don't know how good my game will be.

A: First thing I would recommend is make yourself a Vector2D class which holds your x and y coordinates and a few overload some operators to allow for addition and subtraction of two Vector2Ds and multiplication and division by ints, floats and doubles. Trust me it will make your life a lot easier as they can hold all your forces and collision points.
Next when I have used the style of collision you are currently using I have always found that it's:
A)Harder to debug.
B)Harder for other people to follow your code.
So I would recommend creating a Rectangle2D class which handles collisions with other Rectangles and other needed functionality.
As a recommendation have the top left corner and the bottom right corner as a vector from the center of the rectangle which makes scaling and collision detection much easier this also means you can derive the other corners without directly needing to store them.
Here's a code example that will probably help what I'm trying to explain:
bool Intersects(Rectangle2D other)
{
    //Checks the right, left, bottom then top of the rectangle
    //against the other.
    if(other.topLeftCorner.x >= bottomRightCorner.x       //Checks the right
        || other.bottomRightCorner.x <= topLeftCorner.x   //Checks the left
        || other.topLeftCorner.y >= bottomRightCorner.y   //Checks the bottom
        || other.bottomRightCorner.y <= topLeftCorner.y)  //Checks the top
        return false;
    else
        return true;
}

You can easily manipulate this code to give you the direction of the collision. Hope this helps.

WATCH: How Israeli Military Is Shooting Down Hamas-Launched Suicide Aka Kamikaze Drones
By Ayush Jain
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have intercepted many Hamas-launched kamikaze drones, besides hundreds of rockets, in the past few days.
Since last weekend, Israel has been in a military conflict with Palestinian militant groups, which have launched hundreds of artillery strikes on the Jewish country each day from Gaza. Apart from rockets, Hamas's use of drones has taken this armed conflict to a new level.

A new kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) nicknamed "Shehab" has been noticed in the latest round of IDF-Hamas clash. It was built by Hamas' militant wing, Al-Qassem Brigades. The UAV bears many similarities to an Iranian drone used extensively by Houthis in Yemen.

According to experts, a video released by Hamas showed the UAV being deployed by its militants near the Israeli border. The IDF also released footage of a similar drone being destroyed by an anti-air missile after it entered the Israeli airspace.
This UAV bears many physical similarities to Iranian 'Ababil' drones that are being used by its proxies in battlefields over Lebanon, Sudan, Iraq, Syria, and most notably, Yemen.

— Israeli Air Force (@IAFsite) May 12, 2021
The IDF has intercepted many Hamas drones and attacked select targets. The Shehab has a cylindrical fuselage, a sweptback vertical fin, powered by a pusher engine with a simple two-bladed propeller.
It comes with a rear-mounted wing and a front canard for a good stall, stability, and maneuverability characteristics. Its origins are unclear, and while Hamas claims that it is an entirely indigenous design, the UAV's configuration is exactly similar to that of the Ababil-T.
Referencing Hamas operative to be around 1.7 m tall, the wing span of Shahab UAV is roughly around 2.3 m. It looks like a sub-scale version of Ababil-2 Iranian UAV with some modifications @arawnsley pointed out in his thread. https://t.co/4J2m19u23P pic.twitter.com/X1K86ZNblH
— Mehdi H. (@mhmiranusa) May 13, 2021
However, the Shehab is not an exact copy of any Qasef or Ababil variants and is a bit smaller than the aforementioned two. Also, the shape and size of the wings are different, along with its nose cone, which seems to be a blunter and rounded than its said Iranian and Yemeni relatives. The make and finish of the Shehab are inferior to that of the factory-made Ababil.
First off: size and shape. Look at those smooth, sexy curves on Qasef. Now compare them to the boxy canards and sharp 90 degree angles on that Hamas hag. pic.twitter.com/ZI7rjbKfKy
— Adam Rawnsley (@arawnsley) May 13, 2021
Experts are of the view that the Shaheb can be seen with a commercial GPS module, which would be used most probably to send it to a location with preprogrammed coordinates, fed into the flight computer.
According to defense analyst Tyler Rogoway, Shehab's distinct qualities do not preclude some kind of Iranian involvement or influence in its design. He speculates Iran could be making several variants of its own drones and missiles and selling them to foreign proxies, "possibly to provide plausible deniability".
Let's have a look at that one vertical stabilizer's control surface and compare it to a Qasef seized in Yemen. On the port side. And no bolt patterns. 🤔 pic.twitter.com/1W9139znjB
"It's also not necessarily surprising that Shehab is smaller than the Qasef or Ababil-T designs, the distances involved in attacking Israel from Gaza are much shorter than those between launch sites in Yemen and targets in Saudi Arabia, for instance," Rogoway writes in a piece for TheWarZone.

— Fabian Hinz (@fab_hinz) May 12, 2021
Whether the UAV is derived from Iran or not is a separate matter, but its usage by Hamas against Israel highlights the changing nature of warfare. Such cheaper, locally produced drones could prove effective against the enemy or could even exhaust missiles worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Not just Israel, this s-UAS technology has been a nuisance for even the most powerful military in the world, the United States, that has been running its own C-sUAS (Counter- Small Unmanned Aerial Systems) program.
Israel Hits Targets
The Israeli army struck dozens of targets in the Gaza Strip last night, including launch pads, underground rocket launchers, a Hamas tunnel, weapon depots and militant groups, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday.
"During the night, the IDF struck dozens of terror targets in the Gaza Strip. IDF fighter jets and aircraft struck a large number of rocket launch sites and underground rocket launchers, among them a multi-barrelled rocket launcher, from which rockets were fired at Jerusalem on the first day of Operation 'Guardian of the Walls,'" the statement read.
The Hamas tunnel was located underneath a hotel beach in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, which according to IDF, serves as an example of how the Palestinian movement is deploying military objects in civilian areas.
Apartments belonging to Hamas commanders were also targeted, as according to the IDF they "served as terror infrastructure and command and control centres for recent hostilities."
"A number of terrorist squads on their way to launch rockets into Israeli territory were also struck, along with a Hamas post which included an Anti-Tank missile launcher in Jabalia," the press release read.
Operational offices belonging to the head of the Hamas Security Forces in Rimal, which Israel believes also served as "terror infrastructure," were targeted, along with ammo warehouses belonging to "terror organizations in the Gaza Strip."
The situation on the border of the Palestinian enclave corroded on Monday evening. Since the start of the confrontation, over 2,200 rockets have been launched from Gaza into Israel, while the Israeli army targeted hundreds of strikes on Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets across the border.

Q: Rails 3.1 asset pipeline: Where is the location of the compiled files? vendor/assets/ is empty. Can't seem to find the compiled files anywhere.
EDIT: Unfortunately they are not in public/assets

A: If you run:
rake assets:precompile

they write to 'public/assets'.
If you don't precompile and let rails serve assets on the fly, then they write on the first request of each action to 'tmp/cache/assets'.
The asset pipeline Rails guide calls it live compilation.

A: http://ryanbigg.com/guides/asset_pipeline.html#asset-organization
They should be in public/assets when compiled and are appended with an md5 hash.
vendor/assets is where I would recommend putting assets that are not maintained by you.

A: They should be in public/assets

A Voyage on the Sea
Early the next morning, while yet the dawn was waiting for the sun. Odysseus arose and hastened to make ready for his journey. The little galley which was to carry him across the sea had been already launched, and was floating close to the shore; and the oarsmen stood upon the beach impatient to begin the voyage. The sea-stores, and the little chest in which the lad's wardrobe lay, were brought on board and placed beneath the rowers' benches.	The old men of Ithaca, and the boys and the maidens, hurried down to the shore, that they might bid the voyagers God-speed. Odysseus, when all was ready, spoke a few last kind words to his mother and sage Laertes, and then with a swelling heart went up the vessel's side, and sat down in the stern. And Phemius the bard, holding his sweet-toned harp, followed him, and took his place in the prow.	Then the sailors loosed the moorings, and went on board, and, sitting on the rowers' benches, wielded the long oars; and the little vessel, driven by their well-timed strokes, turned slowly about, and then glided smoothly across the bay; and the eyes of all on shore were wet with tears as they prayed the rulers of the air and the sea that the voyagers might reach their wished-for port in safety, and in due time come back unharmed to Ithaca.
No sooner had the vessel reached the open sea, than Pallas Athené sent after it a gentle west wind to urge it on its way. As the soft breeze, laden with the perfumes of blossoming orchards, stirred the water into rippling waves, Phemius bade the rowers lay aside their oars, and hoist the sail. They heeded his behest, and lifting high the slender mast, they bound it in its place; then they stretched aloft the broad white sail, and the west wind caught and filled it, and drove the little bark cheerily over the waves. And the grateful crew sat down upon the benches, and with Odysseus and Phemius the bard, they joined in offering heartfelt thanks to Pallas Athené, who had so kindly prospered them. And by and by Phemius played soft melodies on his harp, such as the sea-nymphs liked to hear. And all that summer day the breezes whispered in the rigging, and the white waves danced in the vessel's wake, and the voyagers sped happily on their way.
In the afternoon, when they had begun somewhat to tire of the voyage, Phemius asked Odysseus what they should do to lighten the passing hours.
"Tell us some story of the olden time," said Odysseus. And the bard, who was never better pleased than when recounting some wonderful tale, sat down in the midships, where the oarsmen could readily hear him, and told the strange story of Phaethon, the rash son of Helios Hyperion.
"Among the immortals who give good gifts to men, there is no one more kind than Helios, the bestower of light and heat. Every morning when the Dawn with her rosy fingers illumes the eastern sky, good Helios rises from his golden couch, and from their pasture calls his milk-white steeds. By name he calls them,—
" 'Eos, Æthon, Bronté, Astrape!'
"Each hears his master's voice, and comes obedient. Then about their bright manes and his own yellow locks he twines wreaths of sweet-smelling flowers,—amaranths and daffodils and asphodels from the heavenly gardens. And the Hours come and harness the steeds to the burning sun-car, and put the reins into Helios Hyperion's hands. He mounts to his place, he speaks,—and the winged team soars upward into the morning air; and all earth's children awake, and give thanks to the ruler of the Sun for the new day which smiles down upon them.
"Hour after hour, with steady hand, Helios guides his steeds; and the flaming car is borne along the sun-road through the sky. And when the day's work is done, and sable night comes creeping over the earth, the steeds, the car, and the driver sink softly down to the western Ocean's stream, where a golden vessel waits to bear them back again, swiftly and unseen, to the dwelling of the Sun in the east. There, under the home-roof, Helios greets his mother and his wife and his dear children; and there he rests until the Dawn again leaves old Ocean's bed, and blushing comes to bid him journey forth anew.
"One son had Helios, Phaethon the Gleaming, and among the children of men there was no one more fair. And the great heart of Helios beat with love for his earth-child, and he gave him rich gifts, and kept nothing from him.
"And Phaethon, as he grew up, became as proud as he was fair, and wherever he went he boasted of his kinship to the Sun; and men when they looked upon his matchless form and his radiant features believed his words, and honored him as the heir of Helios Hyperion. But one Epaphos, a son of Zeus, sneered.
" 'Thou a child of	Helios!' he said; 'what folly! Thou canst show nothing wherewith to prove thy kinship, save thy fair face and thy yellow hair; and there are many maidens in Hellas who have those, and are as beautiful as thou.	Manly grace and handsome features are indeed the gifts of the gods; but it is by godlike deeds alone that one can prove his kinship to the immortals. While Helios Hyperion—thy father, as thou wouldst have it—guides his chariot above the clouds, and showers blessings upon the earth, what dost thou do? What, indeed, but dally with thy yellow locks, and gaze upon thy costly clothing, while all the time thy feet are in the dust, and the mire of the earth holds them fast?	If thou hast kinship with the gods, prove it by doing the deeds of the gods!	If thou art Helios Hyperion's son, guide for one day his chariot through the skies.'
"Thus spoke Epaphos.	And the mind of Phaethon was filled with lofty dreams; and, turning away from the taunting tempter, he hastened to his father's house.
Never-tiring Helios, with his steeds and car, had just finished the course of another day; and with words of warmest love he greeted his earth-born son.
" 'Dear Phaethon,' he said, 'what errand brings thee hither at this hour, when the sons of men find rest in slumber? Is there any good gift that thou wouldst have? Say what it is, and it shall be thine.'
"And Phaethon wept.	And he said, 'Father, there are those who say that I am not thy son. Give me, I pray thee, a token whereby I can prove my kinship to thee.'
"And Helios answered, 'Mine it is to labor every day, and short is the rest I have, that so earth's children may have light and life. Yet tell me what token thou cravest, and I swear that I will give it thee.'
" 'Father Helios,' said the youth, 'this is the token that I ask: Let me sit in thy place to-morrow, and drive thy steeds along the pathway of the skies.'
"Then was the heart of Helios full sad, and he said to Phaethon, 'My child, thou knowest not what thou askest. Thou art not like the gods; and there lives no man who can drive my steeds, or guide the sun-car through the skies. I pray thee ask some other boon.'
"But Phaethon would not.
" 'I will have this boon or none.	I will drive thy steeds to-morrow, and thereby make proof of my birthright.'
"Then Helios pleaded long with his son that he would not aspire to deeds too great for weak man to undertake. But wayward Phaethon would not hear. And when the Dawn peeped forth, and the Hours harnessed the steeds to the car, his father sadly gave the reins into his hands.
" 'My love for thee cries out, "Refrain, refrain!" Yet for my oath's sake, I grant thy wish.'
"And he hid his face, and wept.
"And Phaethon leaped into the car, and lashed the steeds with his whip.	Up they sprang, and swift as a storm cloud they sped high	into the blue vault of heaven. For well did they know that an unskilled hand held the reins, and proudly they scorned his control.
"The haughty heart of Phaethon sank within him, and all his courage failed; and the long reins dropped from his nerveless grasp.
" 'Glorious father,' he cried in agony, 'thy words were true. Would that I had hearkened to thy warning, and obeyed!'
"And the sun-steeds, mad with their new-gained freedom, wildly careered in mid-heaven, and then plunged downward towards the earth. Close to the peopled plains they dashed and soared, dragging the car behind them. The parched earth smoked; the rivers turned to vaporous clouds; the trees shook off their scorched leaves and died; and men and beasts hid in the caves and rocky clefts, and there perished with thirst and the unbearable heat.
" 'O Father Zeus!' prayed Mother Earth, 'send help to thy children, or they perish through this man's presumptuous folly!'
"Then the Thunderer from his high seat hurled his dread bolts, and unhappy Phaethon fell headlong from the car; and the fire-breathing steeds, affrighted but obedient, hastened back to the pastures of Helios on the shores of old Ocean's stream.
"Phaethon fell into the river which men call Eridanos, and his broken-hearted sisters wept for him; and as they stood upon the banks and bewailed his unhappy fate, Father Zeus in pity changed them into tall green poplars; and their tears, falling into the river, were hardened into precious yellow amber. But the daughters of Hesperus, through whose country this river flows, built for the fair hero a marble tomb, close by the sounding sea.	And they sang a song about Phaethon, and said that although he had been hurled to the earth by the thunderbolts of angry Zeus, yet he died not without honor, for he had his heart set on the doing of great deeds."
As Phemius ended his story, Odysseus, who had been too intent upon listening to look around him, raised his eyes and uttered a cry of joy; for he saw that they had left the open sea behind them, and were entering the long and narrow gulf between Achaia and the Ætolian land. The oarsmen, who, too, had been earnest listeners, sprang quickly to their places, and hastened to ply their long oars; for now the breeze had begun to slacken, and the sail hung limp and useless upon the ship's mast.	Keeping close to the northern shore they rounded capes and headlands, and skirted the mouths of deep inlets, where Phemius said strange monsters often lurked in wait for unwary or belated seafarers. But they passed all these places safely, and saw no living creature, save some flocks of sea-birds flying among the cliffs, and one lone, frightened fisherman who left his net upon the sands, and ran to hide himself in the thickets of underbrush which skirted the beach.
Late in the day they came to the mouth of a little harbor which, like one in Ithaca, was a favored haunt of old Phorcys the elder of the sea. Here the captain of the oarsmen said they must tarry for the night for the sun was already sinking in the west, and after nightfall no ship could be guided with safety along these shores.	A narrow strait between high cliffs led into the little haven, which was so sheltered from the winds that vessels could ride there without their hawsers, even though fierce storms might rage upon the sea outside. Through this strait the ship was guided, urged by the strong arms of the rowers; and so swiftly did it glide across the harbor that it was driven upon the shelving beach at the farther side, and stopped not until it lay full half its length high upon the warm, dry sand.
Then the crew lifted out their store of food, and their vessels for cooking; and while some took their bows and went in search of game, others kindled a fire, and hastened to make ready the evening meal. Odysseus and his tutor, when they had climbed out of the ship, sauntered along the beach, intent to know what kind of place it was to which fortune had thus brought them.	They found that it was in all things a pattern and counterpart of the little bay of Phorcys in their own Ithaca.
Near the head of the harbor grew an olive tree, beneath whose spreading branches there was a cave, in which, men said, the Naiads sometimes dwelt. In this cave were great bowls and jars and two-eared pitchers, all of stone; and in the clefts of the rock the wild bees had built their comb, and filled it with yellow honey. In this cave, too, were long looms on which, from their spindles wrought of stone, the Naiads were thought to weave their purple robes.	Close by the looms, a torrent of sweet water gushed from the rock, and flowed in crystal streams down into the bay.	Two doorways opened into the cave; one from the north, through which mortal man might enter, and one from the south, kept as the pathway of Phorcys and the Naiads.	But Odysseus and his tutor saw no signs of any of these beings: it seemed as if the place had not been visited for many a month.
After the voyagers had partaken of their meal, they sat for a long time around the blazing fire upon the beach, and each told some marvellous story of the sea. For their thoughts were all upon the wonders of the deep.
"We should not speak of Poseidon, the king of waters," said the captain, "save with fear upon our lips, and reverence in our hearts. For he it is who rules the sea, as his brother Zeus controls the land; and no one dares to dispute his right.	Once, when sailing on the Ægæan Sea, I looked down into the depths, and saw his lordly palace,—a glittering, golden mansion, built on the rocks at the bottom of the mere. Quickly did we spread our sails aloft, and the friendly breezes and our own strong arms hurried us safely away from that wonderful but dangerous station. In that palace of the deep, Poseidon eats and drinks and makes merry with his friends, the dwellers in the sea; and there he feeds and trains his swift horses,—horses with hoofs of bronze and flowing golden manes.	And when he harnesses these steeds to his chariot, and wields above them his well-wrought lash of gold, you should see, as I have seen, how he rides in terrible majesty above the waves.	And the creatures of the sea pilot him on his way, and gambol on either side of the car, and follow dancing in his wake.	But when he smites the waters with the trident which he always carries in his hand, the waves roll mountain high, the lightnings flash, and the thunders peal, and the earth is shaken to its very core.	Then it is that man bewails his own weakness, and prays to the powers above for help and succor."
"I have never seen the palace of Poseidon," said the helmsman, speaking slowly; "but once, when sailing to far-off Crete, our ship was overtaken by a storm, and for ten days we were buffeted by winds and waves, and driven into unknown seas. After this, we vainly tried to find again our reckonings, but we knew not which way to turn our vessel's prow.	Then, when the storm had ended, we saw upon a sandy islet great troops of seals and sea-calves couched upon the beach, and basking in the warm rays of the sun.
" 'Let us cast anchor, and wait here,' said our captain; 'for surely Proteus, the old man of the sea who keeps Poseidon's herds, will come erewhile to look after these sea-beasts.'
"And he was right; for at noonday the herdsman of the sea came up out of the brine, and went among his sea-calves, and counted them, and called each one by name. When he was sure that not even one was missing, he lay down among them upon the sand. Then we landed quickly from our vessel, and rushed silently upon him, and seized him with our hands. The old master of magic tried hard to escape from our clutches, and did not forget his cunning.	First he took the form of a long-maned lion, fierce and terrible; but when this did not affright us, he turned into a scaly serpent; then into a leopard, spotted and beautiful; then into a wild boar, with gnashing tusks and foaming mouth. Seeing that by none of these forms he could make us loosen our grasp upon him, he took the shape of running water, as if to glide through our fingers; then he became a tall tree full of leaves and blossoms; and, lastly, he became himself again.	And he pleaded with us for his freedom, and promised to tell us any thing that we desired, if we would only let him go.
" 'Tell us which way we shall sail, and how far we shall go, that we may surely reach the fair harbor of Crete,' said our captain.
" 'Sail with the wind two days,' said the elder of the sea, 'and on the third morning ye shall behold the hills of Crete, and the pleasant port which you seek.'
"Then we loosened our hold upon him, and old Proteus plunged into the briny deep; and we betook ourselves to our ship, and sailed away before the wind. And on the third day, as he had told us, we sighted the fair harbor of Crete."
As the helmsman ended his story, his listeners smiled; for he had told them nothing but an old tale, which every seaman had learned in his youth,—the story of Proteus, symbol of the ever-changing forms of matter. Just then Odysseus heard a low, plaintive murmur, seeming as if uttered by some lost wanderer away out upon the sea.
"What is that?" he asked, turning towards Phemius.
"It is Glaucus, the soothsayer of the sea, lamenting that he is mortal," answered the bard. "Long time ago, Glaucus was a poor fisherman who cast his nets into these very waters, and built his hut upon the Ætolian shore, not very far from the place where we now sit. Before his hut there was a green, grassy spot, where he often sat to dress the fish which he caught. One day he carried a basketful of half-dead fish to that spot, and turned them out upon the ground.	Wonderful to behold!	Each fish took a blade of grass in its mouth, and forthwith jumped into the sea.	The next day he found a hare in the woods, and gave chase to it. The frightened creature ran straight to the grassy plat before his hut, seized a green spear of grass between its lips, and dashed into the sea.
" 'Strange what kind of grass that is!' cried Glaucus. Then he pulled up a blade, and tasted it. Quick as thought, he also jumped into the sea; and there he wanders evermore among the seaweeds and the sand and the pebbles and the sunken rocks; and, although he has the gift of soothsaying, and can tell what things are in store for mortal men, he mourns and laments because he cannot die."
Then Phemius, seeing that Odysseus grew tired of his story, took up his harp, and touched its strings, and sang a song about old Phorcys,—the son of the Sea and Mother Earth,—and about his strange daughters who dwell in regions far remote from the homes of men.
He touched his harp lightly, and sang a sweet lullaby,—a song about the Sirens, the fairest of all the daughters of old Phorcys. These have their home in an enchanted island in the midst of the western sea; and they sit in a green meadow by the shore, and they sing evermore of empty pleasures and of phantoms of delight and of vain expectations. And woe is the wayfaring man who hearkens to them! for by their bewitching tones they lure him to his death, and never again shall he see his dear wife or his babes, who wait long and vainly for his home-coming. Stop thine ears, O voyager on the sea, and listen not to the songs of the Sirens, sing they ever so sweetly; for the white flowers which dot the meadow around them are not daisies, but the bleached bones of their victims.
Then Phemius smote the chords of his harp, and played a melody so weird and wild that Odysseus sprang to his feet, and glanced quickly around him, as if he thought to see some grim and horrid shape threatening him from among the gathering shadows. And this time the bard sang a strange, tumultuous song, concerning other daughters of old Phorcys,—the three Gray Sisters, with shape of swan, who have but one tooth for all, and one common eye, and who sit forever on a barren rock near the farthest shore of Ocean's stream.	Upon them the sun doth never cast a beam, and the moon doth never look; but, horrible and alone, they sit clothed in their yellow robes, and chatter threats and meaningless complaints to the waves which dash against their rock.
Not far away from these monsters once sat the three Gorgons, daughters also of old Phorcys. These were clothed with bat-like wings, and horror sat upon their faces.	They had ringlets of snakes for hair, and their teeth were like the tusks of swine, and their hands were talons of brass; and no mortal could ever gaze upon them and breathe again.	But there came, one time, a young hero to those regions,—Perseus the godlike; and he snatched the eye of the three Gray Sisters, and flung it far into the depths of Lake Tritonis; and he slew Medusa, the most fearful of the Gorgons, and carried the head of the terror back to Hellas with him as a trophy.
The bard chose next a gentler theme: and, as he touched his harp, the listeners fancied that they heard the soft sighing of the south wind, stirring lazily the leaves and blossoms; they heard the plashing of fountains, and the rippling of water-brooks, and the songs of little birds; and their minds were carried away in memory to pleasant gardens in a summer land. And Phemius sang of the Hesperides, or the maidens of the West, who also, men say, are the daughters of Phorcys the ancient.	The Hesperian land in which they dwell is a country of delight, where the trees are laden with golden fruit, and every day is a sweet dream of joy and peace. And the clear-voiced Hesperides sing and dance in the sunlight always; and their only task is to guard the golden apples which grow there, and which Mother Earth gave to Here the queen upon her wedding day.
Here Phemius paused.	Odysseus, lulled by the soft music, and overcome by weariness, had lain down upon the sand and fallen asleep.	At a sign from the bard, the seamen lifted him gently into the ship, and, covering him with warm skins, they left him to slumber through the night.

Q: Can a class template specialization leverage the non-specialized implementation? I have a class:
template<typename T>
class Foo
{
public:
    ...
    Foo& operator=(const Foo&) { ... }
};

And I would like to specialize Foo<std::string> to add a Foo<std::string>::operator=(const char*) overload and to reuse the rest of the Foo<T> implementation.  Is it possible for the Foo<std::string> specialization to leverage the non-specialized implementation, or must I move the Foo<T> implementation into a separate base class that Foo<T> and the Foo<std::string> specialization derive from?

A: Multiple specializations of a template are unrelated types. As you mention in the question a common approach is to move most of the functionality to a base class to reuse it.
There are two proposals for C++1x that would allow for a cleaner way of expressing the intent by means of a new construct static if, although both proposals have some issues to solve before they get accepted, and then you would have to wait for the standard to be approved and then compilers to catch up... still just as exercise for the mind the proposed syntax would not use an explicit specialization, but rather tailor the generic template:
template<typename T>
class Foo
{
public:
    ...
    Foo& operator=(const Foo&) { ... }
    static if (std::is_same<T,std::string>::value) {
       Foo& operator=(const char*) { ... }
    }
};


By Julia M. Stancil, Esq.
In December of 2014, Wildlife Attorney Julia Stancil went before the Colorado Wildlife Commission to petition for a reinstatement of her client's rights to hunt and fish in Colorado and all other states within the Interstate Wildlife Compact. Her client had received a decades-long suspension of hunting and fishing privileges after accumulating a series of tickets as a youth. The time-limit to appeal such a suspension is thirty (30) days following an administrative decision, but unfortunately the client had not retained legal counsel at the time and did not appeal. Without the right to appeal the decision, Ms. Stancil filed a Petition for Declaratory Order. This is essentially a petition for equitable relief that was based upon an argument that the client should not have received such a lengthy suspension based upon the statutes violated at the time. This unique argument prevailed and Ms. Stancil's client immediately had their rights reinstated.
If you have been given a notice of a hearing by the Division of Wildlife, contact the experienced Wildlife Attorneys at Feldmann Nagel Cantafio Margulis Gonnell PLLC LLC. One of our attorneys can advise you, argue the case at the hearing level to attempt to prevent or mitigate a suspension, and can also appeal a decision that is made by the hearings examiner.


Not all of our special projects are created with a client in mind. We are artists ourselves, and often explore concepts or ideas that have simply captured our imagination. These projects allow us to grow; to learn new skills, use new tools and technologies, expand our technical and creative expertise, and work with other talented artists like a movie special effects artist or a leather armor smith.
International Photographer Jeremy Mason McGraw first conceptualized the Eternal Beauties project to explore the ways that people view cultures and traditions alien to their own. Most of us spend our lives in spaces that are our default; comfortable places that we don't have to strive to understand. When we are presented with a person, culture, or religion outside of our range of normal, we often fail to see anything beyond that difference, and quickly come to see the difference as hostile.
In this project, Jeremy played with ideas of culture, prejudice, and perceptions of evil in a conceptual photography space removed from divisive political debates. Using vampires, demons, and other fictional immortal beings as a metaphor for foreignness, Jeremy worked with a team of models, artists, a leather armor maker and movie special effects makeup artists including Lu Andra Whitehurst and Laura Dandridge to craft images and concepts of these outsiders in the familiar editorial style of beauty and lifestyle magazines. The resulting images speak to the way we view other cultures through the lens of our own.

Making Eternal Beauties - A Special Effects Makeup Artist and a Photographer Ask: Are Vampires Real?
While Jeremy conceptualised the project without a commercial purpose in mind, we later saw an opportunity to build on his original concept in a proposal to the local government in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, for a month long Halloween festival. Located at the heart of the Arkansas Art Trail, Eureka Springs is a delightfully bizarre place home to 200 working artists – nearly a tenth of the city's population. It is a city built on a series of natural springs that were rumoured to have healing powers, attracting an influx of people in the 1870s seeking relief from a range of ailments. While the city's natural springs are no longer lauded for their healing properties, to this day the city retains its affinity for the mystical and the supernatural, especially when it comes to Halloween.
We proposed drawing on the mythology of the healing waters and the city's palpable enthusiasm for Halloween to launch a festival that would situate Eureka Springs as a Halloween destination. The inaugural festival would announce and celebrate the existence of a community of immortal beings transformed centuries ago when they drank from the legendary springs. The festival would have incorporated a number of pre-existing community events, and been supported by print and video advertising as well as the release of Eternal Beauty, a lifestyle magazine for immortals. The concept for the festival was widely supported by the community and, while the project was never launched, the proposal received positive press coverage and helped propel community activity and interest in leveraging Halloween for the city of Eureka Springs. Conceptualizing and exploring the concept was invigorating for our team and we consider the experience a definite success.

President Marcella Wilson says the first thing they ask people is: "What is your dream?" "So if that person wishes to be a nurse, we start with basic needs—food, clothing shelter," Wilson said.

Muscle growth and improved physique are not goals you will attain by tomorrow morning. This goal is one that will require your total commitment. Once you apply the knowledge presented here, you can properly approach your path to building muscle. To enjoys success and noticeable results, you need to make sure you follow the tips presented here.
Bench presses, deadlifts and squats are your best exercises. These exercises are widely considered the base of a proper bodybuilding routine, and rightly so. They have proven to increase strength, add bulk to muscles, and improve your general level of conditioning. Always try to incorporate these three exercises in your workout in some form.
You have to make sure that you always warm up if you are trying to build your muscle mass. When your muscles get stronger, they will experience a lot of additional stress that can make them prone to injury. That is why you need to warm up. Prior to serious lifting, try light exercises for around five or ten minutes, then three to four light and medium warm-ups.
TIP! Make sure you understand the best exercises to increase muscle mass. There are many different exercises that work on varied parts of muscle building, including toning and conditioning.
Keep the "big three" exercises in mind when developing your routine. Bench presses, squats and dead lifts help build bulk. These compound exercises can make you stronger and improve your muscle tone as well as increasing your muscle mass. Include variations of them in your regular workout routines.
Use caution when taking creating supplements for long periods of time. Avoid these all together when you face issues with your kidneys. These supplements have also been linked to muscle compartment syndrome, muscle cramps, and heart arrhythmia. Creatine should be especially avoided by the young. Adhere to the recommended quantities for your safety when using these supplements.
If you're planning to engage in extreme cardiovascular exercise, leave your weight training on hold for a while. If you engage in too much cardio, it may hurt your ability to gain muscle. When you are trying to build up your muscle mass, concentrate more on your strength exercises and a little less on conditioning.
Making sure that you are getting a lot of protein will help you build a lot of muscle. Protein shakes or supplements are a great addition to your diet, but should not be the only source of protein you get. These products are especially effective as part of a bedtime or post-workout routine. If you want to lose weight while you are building muscle, drink one a day. On the contrary, if gaining mass is also your goal, you should consume as many as three a day.
After reading this article, you should have plenty of information that can help you build muscle. It is hoped you have adequate knowledge to properly employ the correct methods to build strength in your muscles. Remain dedicated on your goals, and eventually, you'll notice incredible results.

Former councillor challenges Metchosin mayor
John Ranns is seeking his sixth term as mayor of Metchosin, but he will have to face off against former councillor Ed Cooper.
Charla Huber
Nov. 1, 2011 6:00 p.m.
Ed Cooper and John Ranns are seeking the mayors seat in Metchosin.
Cooper, 81, is running on a platform of keeping roads rural and civic fiscal responsibility.
He calls current road upgrades in Metchosin "super highways."
"Happy Valley and Kangaroo roads are being paved shoulder to shoulder," said Cooper, a 51 year resident who was councillor from 2002-05. "Rural roads are windy, narrow roads with the odd pot hole here and there."
Another key issue for him is how the District spends its money, particular the recent purchase of roads equipment.
"I think it's a terrible thing that is going on with the mayor and council," Cooper said. "I am mainly running because of how our finances are being spent. We just purchased road equipment that we needed like we need a hole in the head."
Metchosin bought a back hoe, a grater and other gear from a long-time roads contractor for about $50,000 after the company shut down.
With the equipment, Metchosin is operating its own public works yard and has hired on staff.
"We will not have a public works yard or staff, It will be a tendered out," Cooper said. "Otherwise it will bankrupt Metchosin."
Cooper said he supports seconary suites. "We have to start thinking about the younger generations and by that I mean people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s."
Ranns is running for his sixth (non-consecutive) term as mayor.
"I am glad Ed threw his forms in," Ranns said. "Now I have a platform. Otherwise I would have been sitting here twiddling my thumbs."
In his past term on council, Ranns has been involved with getting three new fire trucks, a rejuvenated fire department and building a public works yard.
"We've done that while maintaining the lowest tax rate in the region," said Ranns, 63, a lifelong resident of Metchosin. "The community management results speak for themselves."
Over his years of service Ranns, helped implement contracting the District staff instead of having several full-time staff.
"I've spoken up and down the Island to groups interested in running a rural municipality," Ranns said. "The contrast between us and fast growth municipalities has never been more obvious."
While other municipalities are in debt, Ranns said, "We are the opposite, we have money in the bank. It's all about innovations, we are coming into tough economic times that we haven't seen before and we are ready for them"
Ranns is a Capital Regional District director and chair of the CRD finance committee. "I am one of the most experienced regional directors," he said. "I play a fairly influential role in the region."
For the non-binding referendum question, Ranns said he has no position on detached secondary suites.
"I think it's being sufficiently flushed out. The residents can make an informed decision. I'd go with that either way," Ranns said.
Metchosin has been home for Ranns for his entire life. His parents first moved to the community in 1946. Ranns has four children and four grandchildren.
"A big part of the mayors job is to ensure the community isn't at each other's throats," Ranns said. "If you have strife on council it leads to strife in the community. One of my accomplishments is having everyone get along."

Not only does each career move result in new and different skill sets, these learning experiences add up and build over time. Perhaps someone's final career step benefits most from a person's previous job experiences combined? Towards the end of my career, I felt a greater sense of assurance and comfort in knowing what was required for the job and had a greater enjoyment in my role.
Value relationships. A network of friends, industry mentors, and colleagues has provided support and guidance on so many occasions from those who have had prior experience in similar situations. Knowing on whom to call for sound counsel has been a lifesaver for me.
One thing I learned in school was that you did a lot of your own knowledge gathering—that taught me that you had to learn to do your own research—you weren't always going to be spoon-fed the information—you had to go dig for it.
I've learned to be open to receiving guidance, but to be cautious in giving advice, unless the issue is clearly black and white–because it can backfire! I've found that a safer path is being a sounding board and asking questions to lead the other person to arrive at their own decisions. My advice, if pursued unsuccessfully, could have consequences that mar the relationship, particularly on issues that are personal. I've learned to try and be a good sympathetic listener instead.
Be true. While we grow and develop in different ways through our experience, stay grounded. Know who you are and always act with integrity. My [British] parents were strict—they instilled a lesson in me that one should never pretend to be what one is not. Always be true to who you are and in what you believe.
Recognize the time for action. There are occasions when taking charge and exercising the right to make a management decision for the group is appropriate especially when there are procedures, rules or implications that require a resolution with a deadline.
My mother lost her mother when she was only 17 years old. A lot of the responsibility for family fell on my mother—she really had to assume her mother's role at that young age. And she vowed that if she ever had a daughter, she would ensure that [her daughter] would be independent—and she obviously was successful[laughs]! I suspect it sort of backfired on both my parents that I became independent. That's when I decided to immigrate to the U.S.
I was only 20 when I came to the U.S. British universities were only 3 years, not four years, for an undergraduate degree. I would say, looking back, if there's anything I would want to change—I was only 17 when I went to University. I think I would have benefited more from the educational experience if I had been older—I would have been a better student. At 17, you're not mature enough to recognize some of the important things that are going on.
Recognize when the time is right to hand over the job to someone else—know when it's time for Act 2. Retirement is not the end of a career, unless one chooses to make it so. I learned that it can be the time to give back to the industry and decide in what ways I can continue to make contributions. I chose to continue involvement with standards development through IES and ASHRAE and ANSI and to support the efforts on certification for lighting designers through the CLD program sponsored by IALD. They are all rewarding activities in their goals. Using my knowledge and skills I have learned over time and allows me to have continuing relationships with industry colleagues. And it continues the learning process on my own personal time. What a benefit!
"I have never met anybody that was more aggressive and detail oriented as Paul Pompeo. After Paul placed me at a reputable lighting firm, he continued to call monthly to checkup on my progress. This showed me that he has a lot of commitment toward the people that he worked with. I consider Paul to be not just a recruiter, but also a friend."

<?php } ?>
</select>

    Copy Number
    <select name="copy_number">
<?php

//Now based on selected book I want to fetch number of copies from database
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT number_of_copies FROM book where isbn = [ SELECTE VALUE FROM ABOVE]");
?>

How can I do that?

A: You can do that with jQuery ajax and simple php handler to get copies of selected book,
<select name="isbn">
.....
</select>

getCopies.php
<?php

$isbn = $_POST["isbn"];

// Some db connections

$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT number_of_copies FROM book where isbn = $isbn");

$resultArr = array();

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
    $resultArr[] = $row;
}

echo json_encode($resultArr); // This will return rows in json format. You can iterate it in js side


After tasting success two times in a row as an actor, singer, music composer, and now establishes actor Himesh Reshammiya has been getting many offers for new offers about signing new films.

Besides, 'Hey Gujju,' his future ventures will include the sequel to his debut, Aap Ka Suroor, a Pooja Bhatt film rumored to be a copy of an older Bhatt film, Sadak, and A Love Issshstory.


In collaboration with the Los Angeles Lakers, the bank recently concluded its annual "A Season of Giving" series with A Holiday Party for Kids. This year, about 80 students from Washington Elementary and 49th Street Elementary attended the festivities. We are delighted to hold this annual event for these deserving students whom come from low income backgrounds of south central Los Angeles.
The party was held at El Segundo Park, just minutes away from the UCLA Health Training Center, home of the Los Angeles Lakers, where the students had a day of play in the snow, complete with a sled run and snow play area. The kids also enjoyed holiday treats and games at the party, and each walked home with a Laker gift to go along with the unforgettable treat of a holiday spent with Lakers and East West Bank.

'Integration' or the supposed lack of it by British Muslims has been a ubiquitous feature in political, media and policy discourses over the past decades, often with little or no evidence base. This book is particularly timely as it draws on empirical research amongst both Muslim school students and parents to examine the question of 'self-segregation' in the light of key policy developments around 'race', faith and citizenship. It aims to contribute towards a national debate on segregation, schooling and Muslims in Britain through deconstructing the received wisdom of 'Muslim separateness'.

"Benign Autocracies" Produce Terrorism
My response to the idea put forward in some circles that something they call a "benign autocracy" should be put in place by the Americans in Iraq:
The "benign autocracies" of the Middle East have been the main producers
of terrorism.
Sadat and Mubarak's Egypt produced al-Gamaa al-Islamiya (first World Trade
Center bombing) and al-Jihad al-Islami (joined with al-Qaeda in 1998 and
responsible via Muhammad Atta for 9/11).
The Saudi oligarchy produced Bin Laden and the Saudi Mujahidin.
The Shah produced Khomeinism.
There are no benign autocracies. An autocracy deprives people of feeling
they have any input into their own destinies. It is precisely the magic
of parliamentary governance that, whether it is true or not, it can make
people feel empowered. Indira Gandhi was tossed out of office after
Emergency in the late 1970s, because Indian democracy worked. Mubarak,
Fahd, the Shah, and all the other "benign" autocrats never could be.
The imposition on Iraq of any form of autocracy will produce a wave of
terrorism and instability the like of which the world has never seen.
The US should be very, very careful about listening to such irresponsible

Q: awk Splitting huge file creates error "too many open files" I have a bash script for the purpose of splitting up a huge input file -- at the moment it's 400MB, later the script should split a 4GB file.
The core or this processing is the following awk script:
INPUTFILE="FA.txt"

awk -F $'\t' 'BEGIN{
    count = 1;
    vcount = 1;
    hcount = 1;
    tmp = 0;
    while (getline "'"$INPUTFILE"'")
    {
        FAv[count] = $1;
        FAh[count] = FAv[count];
        BK[count] = $2;
        vBreak[count] = $3;
        Count++;
    }
    close("'"$INPUTFILE"'");
}

{
    str1 = sprintf("%s%s%s",FAv[vcount],"v",".txt");
    str2 = sprintf("%s%s%s",FAh[hcount],"h",".txt");
    if (NR > (vBreak[vcount+1]-1))
    {
        close(str1);
        vcount ++;
    }
    if (($22-tmp) > BK[hcount])
    {
        close(str2);
        tmp = BK[hcount];
        hcount++;
    }
    printf "...\n",(many columns) >> str1;
    printf "...\n",(many columns) >> str2;
}' Data.txt

Data.txt is a very big tab-separated table with about 40 columns and approximately 2.6 million lines; the file the script should handle later on would have about 30 million lines. The input file I am using right now should make about 300 files, the one the script is meant to process later should create about 4000 files.
The lines close(str1); and close(str2); don't change the error message I get which is
awk: (filename)h.txt makes too many open files
Input record number 157762, file Data.txt
source line number 7
awk: (filename)h.txt make too many open files
Input record number 157762, file Data.txt
source line number 10

The source line numbers given are the equivalent of them in the given snippet here, in my script they are at different positions.
The file "FA.txt" which is used to generate splitting conditions is 3KB big and has 155 lines and 3 columns so this shouldn't make any problem for awk at all.
I am afraid I cant really give out dummy data as the data comes from a company I am working for.
I do not see where the problem in the code is located, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Die Enstrophie ist eine physikalische Größe, die bei der Beschreibung von bewegten Flüssigkeiten und Gasen (Hydrodynamik oder Fluiddynamik) von Bedeutung ist. Sie bezeichnet die Bildung eines Mittelwerts der quadratischen Wirbelstärke (engl.: Vorticity; Maß für die lokale Scherung in einer Strömung) über eine bestimmte Fläche.

Die Enstrophie findet Verwendung in der Strömungslehre, zum Beispiel in der numerischen Wettervorhersage oder bei der Betrachtung des Strömungsverhaltens von Glas-Doppel-Fassaden.
