text: Eclipse John Banville ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 3.68 based on 1042 ratings & 122 reviews on Goodreads.com Paperback Ebook Buy Amazon Blackwell's Book Depository Hive Waterstones WH Smith Wordery Foyles See more book details 05 March 2010 9780330482226 224 pages Synopsis The first of John Banville's novels concerning father and daughter Alexander and Cass Cleave, Eclipse is a lyrical exploration of memory, family and identity.Alexander Cleave, actor, has left his career and his family behind and banished himself to his childhood home. He wants to retire from life, but finds this impossible in a house brimming with presences, some ghostly, some undeniably human. Memories, anxiety for the future and more particularly for his beloved but troubled daughter, conspire to distract him from his dreaming retirement. This humane and beautifully written story tells the tragic tale of a man, intelligent, preposterous and vulnerable, who in attempting to bring the performance to a close finds himself travelling inevitably towards a devastating denouement. This unsparing, compassionate, humane book demonstrates again that Banville is in a class of his own. Spectator A contemporary fable of piercing sadness and melancholy beauty. . . This poetic novel deals with archetypal themes as well as painful truths about parental inadequacy and the limitations of love. Sunday Telegraph In Eclipse Banville has created another important, challenging fiction. The book is ornately written, heartless in an honest fashion, profoundly interrogative of ideas of identity and, above all, spectacularly beautiful. It is, in a way that so many contemporary novels are not, a work of art.

Five Perth Bars Offering Pints for Less than $9
For pints that don't break the bank balance
A night out in Perth can be expensive and boy do we know it. So for those of you simply wanting to crack open a cold one with the boys without breaking the bank - look no further. Here's a list of five Perth bars where you can enjoy an affordable pint at $9 or less.
The Oxford Hotel
Where: 368 Oxford Street, Leederville, Perth, WA
When: Thursdays, all day.
If the Oxford's self-proclaimed "modern sophisticated rustic charm" isn't enticing enough for you, the hotel offers a huge menu and almost daily specials.However, their best offerings would have to be on Thursdays, when you can grab a $8 pint from noon onwards, from any tap of your choice – truly a happy day. And if you're looking for a meal with that, $8 fish and chips boxes are available at the bar from 5:30 pm until they're sold out. The Oxford on a Thursday is the place to be.
Durty Nelly's
Where: Shafto Lane, 397 Murray St, Perth, WA 6000
When: Monday – Friday, 5pm to 6pm.
Durty Nelly's is a beautiful traditional Irish pub and perhaps Perth's first and only, given its history. Having been designed and built up from the ground in Ireland (by Irish architects and with Irish materials), the pub was disassembled and moved to Perth years ago. Happy hours here take place from 5pm to 6pm, from Monday through to Friday.
Indulge in the gorgeous décor and grab a refreshing pint of Guinness, Kilkenny or Magners for just $9. Or if that doesn't tickle your fancy, $7 house spirits, glasses of house wine and sparkling.
Claremont Hotel
Where: 1 Bayview Terrace, Claremont, Perth, WA
When: All week long, 5:30pm to 6:30pm and Wednesday, all day.
This venue has embodied the heart and soul of Claremont since its conception in 1900.With a variety of food and drink specials offered throughout the week, there's something for everyone at the Claremont Hotel.However, its most alluring offer would have to be its daily happy hour, between 5:30pm and 6:30pm. Indulge in $10 cocktails, 30% off all wine selections and, best of all, $8 pints. If you can't make the 5:30pm – 6:30pm window, don't fret. Every Wednesday there are $8 pints on offer all day long.
Bob's Bar
Where: Brookfield Place, 125 St Georges Terrace, Perth CBD, Perth, WA
When: Monday – Thursday, 4pm to 5pm
One of the best rooftop bars Perth has to offer, Bob's Bar has an impressive selection of high quality local beers and ciders.In spite of their extensive food and drinks menu, their happy hour spans over the majority of the week. From Monday through to Thursday, 4pm to 5pm, grab a pint or glass of wine for just $8.
The Emerson
Where: 356 Murray St Perth Western Australia 6000
When: All week long, 5pm to 6pm
The "Glamour Bar" is located on the second floor of The Emerson Bar on Murray St and is host to regular live comedy, quiz nights, burlesque and other forms of entertainment.

So, I am absolutely in love with breakfast burritos. Sometimes, if I have to think about breakfast it just doesn't happen. So having a breakfast that's easy to make takes the stress out of the morning (well at least that part of the morning). Best part… this recipe can be made ahead of time and thrown in the freezer. These breakfast burritos are so delicious, it actually makes me want to eat breakfast. Even on my groggiest days.
So I was on Instagram following one of my mommy chefs and she mentioned that you could freeze breakfast burritos. And I thought "Dang, that's genius." But part of me was like "duh!" I am no stranger to the frozen sections of the supermarket. There are breakfast burritos, sandwiches and all types of breakfast foods in that isle. So of course, you can pre-make and freeze burritos.
There was a little worry about how the eggs and cheese would be after being frozen and then microwaved. But I have to tell you it was a hit with everyone. I took the burrito from the freezer, popped it into the microwave for a minute or so then placed it in my cast iron pan to crisp up. Yum, yum.
I'm using sausage in this recipe because it's what was readily available. But I've made these with bacon (pork and turkey) as well as deli ham and black beans. Yeah, I said it. Black beans. You know I'm a fan of meatless mondays. And an even bigger fan of the versatility of beans. Yes, I know a little bit about that vegetarian life.
Let me tell you, no matter what you put in this (tofu?) it's delicious. I love when I don't have to think about breakfast but when I'm super excited to eat it. If I'm not excited about breakfast I have a tendency not to eat. You should love your food right? Well I love these Breakfast Burritos.
Breakfast Burritos
Make 6 Servings
- 6 large flour tortillas (10 to 12 inch)
- 6 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 ounces breakfast sausage or black beans, cooked
- 8 large eggs scrambled
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons oil
Garnish: salsa, sour cream
Tools: skillet, heavy bottom pan (like a cast iron pan), slotted turner/spatula /waved paper, foil and freezer bags if freezing
Make sure your filling is cool.
Lay tortilla flat and add about an ounce of cheese (the size of a pair of dice).
Top 1/6 of the sausage or black beans.
Followed by 1/4 of the scrambled eggs and any additional toppings (spinach).
Roll burrito tightly, folding the sides in first over the filling.
Then roll from the bottom up.
If eating right away, 1/2 tablespoon of oil pan place burrito seam down in a skillet over medium heat.
Place cast iron skillet on top of burrito to weight it down.
Cook until brown and slightly crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
Freezing Directions:
Make sure burritos are rolled tight.
Wrap each rolled tortilla in waxed paper or foil before placing in freezer bag.
Microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes or until warmed through.
Then cook in a skillet over medium high heat.
Place a heavy pan on top of burrito (look you made a panini press lol) allow to brown and crisp.
No one wants a soggy burrito. Right?
Add some salsa or sour cream to your burrito if have a little extra time.
What are you putting in your breakfast burritos?
If you are looking for a quick breakfast you might also like my eggs in a jar recipe.
If you try this recipe, I'd love to know. Leave me a comment or take a picture and tag it #elskitchencmfrt on Twitter or @els.kitchencomforts on instagram. I'm excited to see what you cook up.

The FCA and the UK Financial Industry
- UBS fined by FCA for breaching FCA principles.
- Employees at UBS gambled customers' money to make profits for the bank.
The FCA principles and guidelines are very clear. They have a raft of information on their website to help companies make the most of their business. When it comes to providing guidelines, the FCA has always ensured that there is information on their website to guarantee compliance.
But, following a series of financial misconducts within the UK financial industry, it can be questioned whether the FCA is doing enough. Essentially, it's important to safeguard consumers. The fines that have been imposed haven't seemed to have stopped companies from acting in a negligent manner.
Financial misconduct has blighted the industry for a number of years. While many banks are eager to work in a responsible way, there are always exceptions to the rule. The FCA has taken a hard line approach when it comes to punishing those who do not act in accordance with the rules. As such, there have been some cases where conduct has been called into question. Cashfloat, a payday loan lender in the UK investigates these cases. One case in point is the Swiss bank, UBS.
The Case of UBS and Its Failure to Comply
In August 2009 the FSA found that UBS had failed to implement the right systems and controls within its venture. As such, the bank was fined £8 million in penalties. Such was the severity of the breach that the FSA imposed one of the largest levies of all time.
UBS Fined for Gambling with Customers' Money
UBS employees were found to be using customer's money on the stock exchange. They gambled with client's savings in a bid to make a profit for the company. The employees were found to be trading in FOREX and commodities.
This kind of trading activity is a serious breach of consumer confidence. The breach was one of the most detrimental to the industry. As the bank used customer cash to seek profit, it was deemed that the company was not acting with integrity. Trading with customer's money goes against the rules as espoused by the regulatory body.
As a result of the FSA's investigations, UBS were fined a substantial amount. What's more, they were ordered to pay compensation to the clients that were affected by this illicit activity. The compensation costs came to a total of over £25.2 million. While UBS did not profiteer from the trading actions, it was still deemed unsuitable to conduct this kind of activity.
UBS Fined and Settling Early
The original penalty was meant to be a lot more than the settlement sum of £8 million. As UBS paid the FSA early, their fine was reduced by £2 million. At the time of the breach, the FSA director declared that financial crime needed to be tackled within the industry as a whole. What is more, she claimed that the fine was so large that it would serve to act as a deterrent for other companies. But, this is not the case. As such, there have been a lot of businesses involved with this kind of illicit behaviour. As responsible lenders, it's important that banks operate on a basis that serves the interests of the clients. If a company is deemed to be working on a profiteering basis through illicit activities, the FSA can step in.
The penalties imposed are subject to scrutiny. The original sum of £10 million was reduced as UBS were happy to settle the figure early. While the penalties and fines can be seen as a credible way of deterring banks from operating in this way, it seems that it is not a significant deterrent overall.
The Misconduct of UBS
During the timescale in which UBS traded, over fifty transactions were conducted per day. These operations were used for trading in the foreign exchange market and commodities market. Four employees were found to be trading with clients cash. The employees had not sought permission from the clientele. They had not determined the losses that these customers had suffered.
One of the most concerning issues, in this case, is that the FSA were not aware of the activity within UBS. It was only when an internal employee filed a complaint were the FSA aware of these transactions. The FSA has not made the names of employee's public. But, it seemed as though there was a small group of workers that had a good working relationship and acted with each other. The four employees were said to be working in conjunction with one another. What's more, UBS was not aware of the activity that was taking place. The good news is, is that these employees are no longer in employment with UBS.
A Lack of Control
One of the most alarming things about this case study is that UBS lacked internal controls. As such, the employees were able to trade in a way that they deemed fit. This level of freedom within a financial company is not something that is recommended by the FSA.
The FSA has stated that companies need to have greater restrictions in place to stop this type of crime from being committed. Companies such as UBS need to ensure that they have adequate systems in place to regulate and monitor the behaviour of its staff. As UBS had failed to control its risks, it resulted in little regulation over staff conduct within the bank.
Can the FCA Prevent Cases Like UBS?
When it comes to banking regulations, it seems as though there is room for improvement. There have been calls from independent authorities for greater regulation of banks. It appears that the fines imposed are not enough to deter banks from engaging in this kind of activity. As such, there needs to be stringent monitoring processes in place to ensure that preventative measures are taken. Customers trust their hard earned wages with these banks and the last thing they need is to be forced into taking personal loans because irresponsible employees lost their money.
The role of FSA is to provide guidelines and support for businesses. But, it seems that they only act as a reactive measure. In the case of UBS, the FSA should serve as a monitoring device and call for internal auditing processes to be completed.
While fines can be seen as a credible deterrent, this is not always the case for large banks with a significant bottom line. The 2009 case of UBS fined is not the first. In 2005, UBS was subjected to a £10,000 fine for a lack of transparency With UBS, it seems that fines are not enough. The FSA need to take a harder line. A more proactive stance is needed in encouraging businesses to be more transparent when dealing with customer's money.

So you end up purchasing for an inexpensive acoustic guitar. Perhaps you've gotten been put as much as it by a member of the family or another state of affairs. Drawback is you haven't a clue about musical instruments and know even much less of what they should price.
I have lived in an space with low cost housing when we first started out and I am sorry we did. It was false economic system and I'm so glad I used to be able to create the means to get out when we did. I now reside in Peel, on the west coast of the Isle of Man about three minutes walk from the beach in an old four bed room Victorian home that we bought for £a hundred and eighty,000 about 8 years in the past and I really feel so lucky.
Yesterday, I was purchasing for child girI garments as a part of my quest. I bought a dress and a dressy white jacket on the Childrens Place for my quickly-to-arrive granddaughter. The ensemble can be perfect for her to put on to church this fall. Had been these cheap child girl clothes? Decide for your self. The gown was $7.50 and the jacket was under $10. Don't worry – they also have low cost baby boy garments! I simply do not occur to want any of those proper now.
After 45 minutes of prepare trip ~ ( and lengthy troublesome immigration test later ) I am finally here in Shenzhen !! The train station itself was tremendous packed ~ people with luggages all over the place ~ some even have massive containers…. At this level I would think about myself buying like loopy also ~ since everyone bought so many things LOL.
Not only would I like to see plus measurement on plus size fashions; but, I would really like the fashions you see designed for smaller people adjusted to suit larger sizes. I'm not speaking about type becoming clothes. I am speaking about basics. For some motive the designers assume plus size woman solely like giant flowers and mu mu suits. Many plus dimension people I do know want to put on what is fashionable(just larger).

See events and tours
Prince Frederick of the Netherlands built a ring road in the 19th century along his nine estates in Wassenaar and Voorschoten. With this park route he was able to inspect his property and enjoy the landscape diversity, the special views. He also took his guests along the route. There was undoubtedly a lot of walking around the Paauw and Backershagen park around his home, De Paauw. His possessions did not stay together after his death. The estates were sold in parts between 1890 and 1912. As a result, part of the route is no longer recognizable as such. Large parts of the route are still present. Parts of the route can be explored by coach or on foot with a guide.

Text for the website of OMD / municipality / etc
Discover Frederik's park route
Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, son of King William I, laid out a park route in the 19 the century about his vast possessions in Voorschoten and Wassenaar. He was able to inspect his property but also enjoy the landscape diversity, the many special views and "places of pleasure" that he had constructed. He also took his guests along the route. In the vicinity of his home on the Paauw there will certainly have been frequent walks over both the Paauw and the neighboring Backershagen. As a result of fragmentation after his death, part of the route is no longer recognizable as such. Large parts of the route are still present. The municipality of Wassenaar and Voorschoten have mapped this route again.
During Heritage Day it is possible to explore parts of the route by coach or on foot with a guide. Wildrust, where Dunea has now created a new nature reserve, used to be a deer park, along the Schouwweg several parts can still be recognized. It is also possible to participate in one of the painting or drawing workshops in the park of De Paauw. Paint or draw together with a teacher who has her studio in the park, the most beautiful places where Prince Frederik and wife Princess Louise enjoyed the great outdoors.
Meeting place for carriage or walk will be published on the OMD website as well as the email address where you can sign up.
Of course you can go on an adventure and explore the route yourself. See https: // parkenrouteprinsfrederik.nl/

The music video Wrong by Depeche Mode has something disquieting and mysterious. The video has been removed from Youtube and now you can find only a few partial videos. You can still see it on Vimeo, but who knows how long? Why does this video look special and obscure?
A short thriller psycho film
The video was directed by Patrick Daughters, a well-known American director, who also worked for Kings of Leon and Muses. The story is set in Los Angeles at night. A car starts moving backwards. There seems to be no one behind the wheel. The streets are wet, a sign that has just rained. On the seats, however, there is a man lying, who gets up and sits down. He wears a white mask. It really looks like a thriller movie with psycho contours.
The car meanwhile continues in its strange race backwards and clashes with other cars. It passes near the Depeche Mode members, who are walking on the sidewalk. They look at the car and meet the man's eyes.
The car then hits a passerby and throws him to the ground. The masked man notices it and begins to wriggle, seems to be tied and gagged with duct tape. His car hits garbage bins, invests other people, and then is also chased by a police car.
The man tries to untie himself and takes off his mask. Soon he succeeds and we can see his face: the mouth is still wrapped in adhesive tape, from which blood comes out.
The video ends when the car is hit by another car sideways and the man bangs his head on the window, and then collapses. Really a disturbing story, it almost seems like a nightmare.
The meaning of Wrong by Depeche Mode
In my opinion, the video is closely linked to the meaning of the lyrics. The lyrics is about a man, who was born under a bad star and in the wrong family; besides, luck has never been on his side. He himself took wrong paths several times. A mix of situations and wrong choices. It's a question of chemistry, Depeche Mode says.
The car that travels in the opposite direction is our life, when it seems that the world is on us, events overwhelm us and we go against the current. The man tied and gagged is us, when we look helplessly at what happens in our lives and we believe we can not change it, even if we make every kind of effort.
But really there is no solution for those born under a bad star? 50% depends on what happens but the other 50% are our "wrong choices". Perhaps there is a margin to change life, it is not entirely a question of predestination.
The mask: the veil of Maya that prevents us from seeing the truth
But what does the mask represent? Man has a white mask, because our existence requires us to wear a mask of banality and daily life. This mask prevents us from seeing the world well. It is a sort of veil of Maya: that mask in a certain sense protects us and does not let us see everything: it hides so many beautiful things, but it also hides so many bad things. The veil of Maya is that metaphorical veil that prevents us from seeing reality for what it really is.
When the man in the video takes off his mask, he dies, because he sees everything clearly, he sees the truth. God had told Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit of the tree of life, otherwise they would have become like him. To become like God did not mean to become powerful and invincible, but it meant to see reality better and to understand what Good is and what Evil is.
To remove the veil of Maya means to free oneself spiritually, to be no longer bound to the body, to radically change one's own existence. Perhaps the death of the masked man at the end of the Depeche Mode video is a metaphor: it is the rebirth of a new life after understanding one's mistakes and the meaning of one's own existence.

Beer. It's what's for dinner.
On Monday night, GTB, our friend E, and I went for a long walk around Mt. Tabor. It was a lovely night and the hour+ stroll was the perfect half-workout. I therefore felt completely justified ordering the Mac and Cheese at the Hedge House when we were done. And, because it's almost Memorial Day Weekend, and no one should stay dry on the first unofficial weekend of summer, I also ordered a beer.
Half way through the beer, I heard myself chattering away about something not particularly interesting (nipples, maybe?) and pushed the beer away declaring, "Whoa, I'm getting loaded!"
Last night, I went to listen to GTB lay down some acoustic guitar tracks on the album his band is working on. Before, though, we had Mexican food. And a Pacifico. So when he bought Sierra Pale Ales for the recording, I helped myself to two of them.
Tonight, I'm having drinks with two of the loveliest ladies in all of PDX. I went to the gym this morning, so I feel OK about imbibing, within reason.
I've resigned myself to the fact that this month of sobriety is over. Am I rationalizing? Of course. But I feel like three weeks (with the exception of mimosas on Mother's Day) on the wagon proved what I needed to know about me and drinking.
Yes, I feel better when I'm not drinking regularly. Yes, I save money when I'm not drinking. Yes, I think I'd lose weight if I stopped drinking. Those are all really good things to know. So my little experiment was a success.
But now I'm back to drinking. And I feel fine about it.
Until I read this. I'm not of Eastern European descent, so I'm not terribly worried this could EVER be me. But good God, man! Does this guy have a functioning liver?

CRM is an invaluable tool for card dealerships. It can save your time that is being spent on communication with consumers. It can also provide personalized interaction with your loyal clients. Even your sales and marketing efficiencies can be enhanced.
Tips to choose the right CRM
Determine your needs
CRM system can be applied in many ways and everyone has their own reason, so you will need to decide the correct benefit you expect from the tool. Identify the key challenge your dealership is experiencing and then find the ideal CRM tool that helps them to resolve the issue.
Avoid choosing the big name
The CRM system your friend chose to operate his small business is different than the one you will need to manage your car dealership. Moreover, the big-name majority of people find satisfying will not be suitable for you.
Find solution that resolves your challenge
When you look around for automotive CRM software then concentrate on the issues you wish to be resolved. Bear this in mind all through the search and assessment process.
Create checklist of crucial features
Write down all the features you will need to resolve the challenge. For example, your car dealership needs to concentrate in enhancing their marketing efforts. Therefore, check features, which help to enhance lead generation. If it is sales conversion, then consider features that will most possibly help to prioritize clients, who will possibly buy.
Consider aspects that prioritize leads
Customers differ and you can experience challenges at the different stages of sales funnel. A CRM tool will help in customizing communications on the basis of client's needs using specific methods. Prioritizing leads means you can send specific kind of communication to those client's ready-to-buy but need a little extra nurturing.
Program that saves time
CRM is designed to save time on client communications, so ensure that the tool you choose accomplishes this goal.
Find a rapid working program
Communication timing makes a huge difference in nurturing leads and sales conversion. Therefore, look for software, which capably prioritizes leads and rapidly decides the correct interaction strategy.
Check the analytical features
You are in for smart technology. Some programs offer insights of your every activity. It ensures you contact leads regularly and even detect irregularities in communications, which need to be familiar with.
Software has to be navigable
The software needs to be installed and used easily by your sales rep team. If it is very complex to navigate then the time saving benefits get removed.
Check for the five features, when you are presented with a CRM tool – compatible with mobile, texting, data cleansing, equity mining, and can embed video.

FULL PRODUCT VERSION : java version "1.6.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode, sharing) ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION : Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION : 1.25 GB RAM, Pentium 4 1.8 GHz A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM : Attempt to use the NIO mapping with a large number of mapped blocks leads to an error: java.lang.Error: Cleaner terminated abnormally My test is very simple. 1) I create a new file. 2) I increase it's size to 32 MB (RandomAccessFile.setLength method, with closing after resizing). 3) Perform a loop of the following tests. 3.1) Open a file: raf = new RandomAccessFile(f, "rw"); 3.2) Map 4096 non-overlapped regions of the file, every region is 8192 bytes, and fills every region by some value: for (int i = 0; i < 4096; i++) { ByteBuffer bb = raf.getChannel().map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_WRITE, (long)i * 8192, 8192); for (int j = 0; j < bb.limit(); j++) bb.put(j, (byte)i); } 3.3) Close a file: raf.close(); As a result, the internal error occured very soon: usually at the second or third iteration of the loop 3). The concreate block size (8192) and number of blocks (4096) are not important; the error is stable if the number of mapped blocks is large enough. If I place System.gc() / System.runFinalization() in every iteration, this error occurs later, but still occurs. I detected that this bug occurs only if the file is new. When I used an existing 32 MB file (skipping the steps 1 and 2), I could not wait for this error. BUT: in this case System.runFinalization() produces another strange error at iteration #30-40: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread I'll create a separate bug report for this. This bug is like as http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4938372 But my test is more simple, it is almost trivial. I really need to create many mappings. In the real application, I need to process files with unlimited size (maybe, tens of GB), and I must use not too large blocks (8 MB, maybe 64 MB). At the same time, I don't need to support many SIMULTANEOUS mappings: I need only 4-8 mapped banks, that map different portions of the file, depending or application requests. But I cannot unmap unused banks! When the number of simultaneous MappedByteBuffer instances, still not cleaned by the garbage collector, becomes too large, JVM is abnormally exited with an error message. REGRESSION. Last worked in version mustang STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM : Please compile the attached source Java file and call it: "\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\jre\bin\java" net.algart.finalizing.demo.IntensiveMapping \TMP\test.dat 8192 4096 1 50 "\TMP\temp.dat" is a position of the new temporary file in the file-system; you may use any appropriate posision. This file must NOT exist before the call. 8192 is the size of mapped blocks; 4096 is the number of blocks. (So, the test will create 32 MB file.) 1 is the number of passes in every test; I didn't detect changes in the test behaviour for large number of passes. 50 is the total number of iteration. The error usually occured in one of first iterations. EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR : EXPECTED - Normal execution without JVM crash. ACTUAL - The results of execution (on the console): Mapping the file D:\TMP\test.dat It is a new file Block size: 8192 bytes File size: 4096 blocks, 33554432 bytes Number of passes: 1 Number of tests: 50 System.gc() will not be called System.runFinalization() will not be called Test #1 / 50 (4.974368MB free, 5.177344MB total, 66.650112MB max): Pass #1... done Test #2 / 50 (4.529136MB free, 5.177344MB total, 66.650112MB max): Pass #1...java.lang.Error: Cleaner terminated abnormally at sun.misc.Cleaner$1.run(Cleaner.java:130) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at sun.misc.Cleaner.clean(Cleaner.java:127) at java.lang.ref.Reference$ReferenceHandler.run(Reference.java:124) Caused by: java.io.IOException: The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.unmap0(Native Method) at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.access$100(FileChannelImpl.java:32) at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl$Unmapper.run(FileChannelImpl.java:680) at sun.misc.Cleaner.clean(Cleaner.java:125) ... 1 more ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR : java.lang.Error: Cleaner terminated abnormally at sun.misc.Cleaner$1.run(Cleaner.java:130) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at sun.misc.Cleaner.clean(Cleaner.java:127) at java.lang.ref.Reference$ReferenceHandler.run(Reference.java:124) Caused by: java.io.IOException: The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.unmap0(Native Method) at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.access$100(FileChannelImpl.java:32) at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl$Unmapper.run(FileChannelImpl.java:680) at sun.misc.Cleaner.clean(Cleaner.java:125) ... 1 more REPRODUCIBILITY : This bug can be reproduced always. ---------- BEGIN SOURCE ---------- package net.algart.finalizing.demo; import java.io.*; import java.nio.*; import java.nio.channels.*; /** *

It is possible by using PhantomReference queue (containing phantom references to all byte buffers created by "map" call) and a separate thread, that performs an infinite loop of "refQueue.remove();" calls and counts the number of non-finalized instances. If I try to map new block, but the current number of non-finalized MappedByteBuffers exceeds the limit (50 in my tests), I start the loop of System.gc() until the system will finalize all extra buffers: long tFix = System.currentTimeMillis(); boolean ok = false; do { System.gc(); // do not call System.runFinalization(): sometimes in produces // "OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread" try { Thread.sleep(5); } catch (InterruptedException ex) { // nothing to do here } synchronized (lock) { mapCount = this.mappingCounter; // this counter is increased after every "map" call and decreased after // "refQueue.remove()" call in the separate thread } if (mapCount < desiredLimit) { ok = true; break; } } while (System.currentTimeMillis() - tFix < timeout); As you understand, it is a hack, not a good and stable solution. I could offer to include "unmap()" method in MappedByteBuffer, or in some special version (subclass?) of MappedByteBuffer. This method will perform low-level unmapping, and you may recommend to call it any time when the mapped buffer becomes a garbage. After "unmap()" call, any access to this ByteBuffer should produce the corresponding runtime exception. I understand that such "unmap()" method, probably, will reduce the performance of ByteBuffer due to necessity of correct syncronization (all threads should "see" the internal flag, allowing to produce an exception in a case of access after unmap() call). But it is much better than an internal error and crash of JVM that takes place now. It could be an optional solution. If the user does not need a lot of mappings, it uses standard quick MappedByteBuffer. If he really needs thousands of mappings, it uses modified MappedByteBuffer version with unmap() method and calls it when necessary, to avoid too large number of simultaneous mappings.

I'm experiencing a massive slowdown in bandwidth through Actrix in the past few days, and am wondering if anyone with a better knowledge of the net can shed light on possible causes?
I'm in Christchurch, connected to an ADSL2+ cabinet, and have been getting ballpark 800kbps throughput from international sites until a couple of days ago my non-local connection speeds became bizzare.
I'm using a USR9108 router with nothing/no-one else using the connection during the tests, and Actrix tech support have so far been unable to explain the situation.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

WITH 63,600 people living with HIV but not on treatment in Western Province, key activities and strategies need to be prioritized to ensure that people who are currently HIV positive, but not on Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) are identified and linked to care.
With support from the United States President's Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and U.S Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC), the Western Province Surge Campaign will target 10 districts with the highest number of people living with HIV but not on treatment namely: Kaoma, Lukulu, Senanga, Sioma, Limulunga, Sikongo, Nalolo, Lwampa, Kalabo and Mongu.
Speaking during the Western Province Surge Technical meeting held in Mongu, Dr. Nzali Kancheya from CDC, said "this is a large number and out of all the provinces, we have not had 10 districts in a surge. But when we looked at the data and the absolute numbers of people we have to find and link to care in Western province, it made it difficult to remove districts. However, we really have to look at how we prioritise in terms of sites, and have partners working closely with the Provincial Health Office to ensure that we manage these 10 districts".
The Centre for Infectious Disease Research In Zambia (CIDRZ) is among partners working in collaboration with the Ministry of Health with PEPFAR/CDC support to provide treatment, care and support in the province.

A lot of things has been made about the Apple's possible shift to the A-series processor in the Mac. According to some reports from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company has discussed the possibility of the change between the membrane between iOS and macOS from the software point of view.
The latest report suggests that the Apple may shift from ARM-based A-series processor in some Macs starting from 2020. This shifting is not any surprise for the company as it is in line for last three years. This thing is level as something which is unparalleled and makes no sense. Apple has already convinced to shift to new hardware architectures in the Mac. The main hurdle arises is the potential marketing nightmare which will happen due to large shifts for the users many times.
Apple's first product for its users is Apple II series. Without going deeply to the history of the foundational device, the line has six major releases with an estimation of about six million in total since the launch of Apple II in 1977 till the discontinuation in 1993. During the year 1993 Apple saw the future road with the help of Lisa. The Mac and the Apple II series continued for some time in a parallel time.
The users of Mac saw a lot of changes which starts with 68000-based Mac 128. The Mac II cost about $5500 with a monitor and in 1990 it cost nearly $10,000 giving users 40mhz of speed in a 68030 processor. Then, Apple announced Power Macintosh 6100,7100 and 8100 along with new architecture. The new machine was launched with 7.1.2 System and have 68K processor code. The last operating system release for the 68K-series Macs was MacOS 8.1.
After few years they shift to Power PC with some publicity for Copland. The first Mac OS X Developer's preview was launched in May 1988. The iMac evaluation was continued with the iMac DV which was suitable for Mac OS X.
During the year 2002, there is a rumor about the Mac OS version running on Intel's processors and this continued till 2005. This continued till the next announcement at the WWDC in which it is said that the Macs are going to use Intel processors. PowerPC-only code ran on Apple layer called Rosetta. The final version of the Rosetta in MacOS Lion was released on July 20, 2011.
Apple has to build Mac OS X for years before it shifting to Intel. The company also gave way for the iOS with Xcode which is presently the primary means to develop the Mac, iOS, tvOS and watch OS. This shift will not be an immediate shift and this will start with the Apple's low product like MacBook and can be in Mac mini-migration. We will be getting a new Apple-built ARM processor with three decades of legacy routines. This architecture can handle LOD4 RAM which allows up to 64 GB of RAM and four times the bandwidth that LPDR3 and DDR4 can handle. You don't have to panic as the shifting of hardware is not spontaneous.

While the last major update to iOS redesigned and overhauled the iPhone experience, iOS 11 also packs in a lot of iPad-specific features that turn the tablet from an oversized phone to more of a laptop replacement. Alongside tweaks to many Apple Apps like Notes, Music and Camera, here are 10 changes you can expect to see after you've downloaded the update.
Here are ten iOS changes and improvements that make upgrading worthwhile.
#1 New Files app
Replacing the iCloud Drive app, Files looks an awful lot like Finder on MacOS, and it functions pretty similarly. All the files you have sitting in your iCloud or locally on your device are accessible here for you to browse through and organise in a very desktop-style format. You can also add your Google Drive or other cloud storage accounts, although they're not as well integrated, merely opening up their respective app's browsing window.
#2 No more Notification Centre
It's a small change, but the Notification Centre and Lock Screen are now one and the same. When you swipe down from anywhere on your device you'll now drag the Lock Screen down instead of a notifications pane. Since the Lock Screen also houses all your notifications, it makes sense to get rid of that superfluous part of the operating system.
#3 Redesigned Control Centre
Finally, the Control Centre is totally customisable. On iPhone, swiping up will bring up the new-look and full-screen panel of widgets, which can be configured in Settings to include everything from an Apple TV remote a low power mode toggle. Some widgets work as simple buttons while others are sliders or something a bit more interactive, and many offer extra functionality when deep pressed. Importantly there's the option to add a 'record screen' button, so you no longer need to plug your device into a computer to make a video from your screen.
#4 A smarter Siri
Apple's personal assistant has new voices in iOS 11, but there's a lot more happening behind the scenes. Siri now uses on-device learning to gather information about you and offer better suggestions. This data is synced across your Siri-enabled devices, so insights from your iPhone, iPad and Mac can all come together to build your personal data profile. The result will be familiar to those used to using Google's Assistant: Siri will be able to suggest news articles based on your browsing, offer estimated travel times to where it thinks you're going, and more.
#5 New keyboards
On iPhone, the default keyboard now has a one-handed mode. Once selected all the keys will move to the left or right of the screen, so you can hit all of them with just a thumb. An even more useful keyboard function is included with iOS 11 for iPad. You can now swipe down on keys to access their second function. For example hit the W key for a 'w', or swipe down on it for a '2'. This removes the need to constantly hit the 123 button to bring up the second keyboard.
#6 App Store redesign
The App Store is now more curated and resembles a digital magazine. The Today tab you see when you first open the app features editorial content about apps, as well as a new highlighted app and game every day. If it's been a while since you checked in, you can scroll down to see previous games and apps of the day. Meanwhile the Apps and Games tabs have a big focus on curated collections, with the familiar top charts found below.
#7 Easier cleanup
A redesigned storage setting makes it easy to see what apps are taking up how much space on your device, and recommendations help you tidy up when you need more room. There's also an option called "offload unused apps". When activated, this will automatically remove apps you don't open often from your device when space is tight.
#8 iPad Dock expanded
In an important step toward making Apple's tablet a desktop and laptop competitor, the Dock now looks and behaves a lot like the one found in MacOS. You can add any 13 apps you like to the bar — which also displays your three most recently used apps — and it can be brought up at any time by dragging up from the bottom of the screen. This means you no longer have to go home or to the app switcher to switch apps, you can just pick a different one from the Dock.
#9 iPad's new App Switcher
Drag up again from the Dock (or go for the good old double Home tap) and you get a brand new App Switcher which once again looks straight out of MacOS. Open apps are arranged in tiles just like Mission Control, and the new Control Centre is found here as well. Combined with the Dock and Files app, this gives productivity on iPad a very desktop feel.
#10 Multitasking and drag and drop on iPad
Tying the new tablet features together are some new ways to get apps interacting with each other. When you have an app open you can now simply drag another app from your Dock to open it in a Slide Over window, and you can touch it again to toggle into full Split Screen mode. The App Switcher remembers your split screen setup, so you can head off to other apps and come back to your main work screen later. Finally, you can now drag any highlighted content — a link from the web, some text, a picture etc — and drop it into a different app (as long as it allows this). No more copy-pasting.

I was driving my newer model Class A RV on State Route 73. Having driving through Waynesville and heading into Springboro, my front left tire had a blowout, this caused massive damage to the front fender. A replacement fender for the RV could not be found anywhere else in the United States. Knowing H&H Collision had experience in fiberglass repair. I let them handle the massive project. 100% satisfied to the attention to detail in making my 36 foot RV back on the highway!
They have done work on my Honda Accord, Mercedes C220, and Chevy Silverado- I haven't had a bad experience yet. The attention to detail and quality staff are second to none. This is one of those places that really goes above and beyond… If you go there once, you won't ever go anywhere else again.
This was my first accident and I didn't know what to do but H&H Collision helped me so much they basically did everything!! They are so helpful and understanding! They worked with me on my deductible and made my experience with them so wonderful. My truck looks so amazing and they even vacuumed it out!!! 5 stars to them if u ever need any work done they're the place! My husband is taking his truck there next just because they do such great work.
The guys at H & H Collision are awesome. I recommend everyone if you need help with your cars to come here they will treat you the right way. Awesome work.

So excited to have my car back! Thank you so much H&H Collison for everything! My car looks awesome and customer service was THE BEST!!! I will refer to H&H. Amazing job!
The people at H&H Collision are awesome. I highly recommend them.

One Direction talk about Zayn Malik on talkshow
Last week it looked to be a case of handbags at 20 paces as Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik entered a Twitter spat.
But could they be friends again? Was it a storm in a teacup?
Tomlinson said in an interview with late night talk show host James Corden that the pair have worked things out after their public feud.
Last week, Tomlinson had a few choice words for Naughty Boy, who is reportedly working with Malik.
Malik then jumped in and told Tomlinson to stop making "bitchy" comments.
When Corden asked Tomlinson about the feud that quickly had fans lambasting Malik for his comments, Tomlinson said:
"I've never been very good at biting my tongue, maybe I get it off my mum. It's just one of those things. Twitter's great for connecting with the fans but also if you feel like saying something you probably shouldn't, it's also good for that as well. Or bad in this case."
Tomlinson added that he has since spoken to Malik and "it's all good in the hood".
Liam Payne also told Corden, host of the Late Late Show about how they reacted to Malik's news of his departure.
He said: "At first we were a little bit angry. We were surprised, but I think we all knew the general vibe that Zayn was feeling.
"There were certain parts of this job that Zayn loved and certain parts of the job that he didn't."
Payne added: "If you don't like your job, you've got to follow your heart sometimes and go where you need to go. There's no argument with that."
He also had a message for Malik: "We wish him the best of luck with whatever he gets up to."
And well, if they were still angry about Malik's departure, they could have used it when they played a game of Dodgeball against professionals.
In a hilarious clip, Corden and the boys show that they should definitely keep their day jobs.
Corden looks like he could seriously be the fifth member of One Direction here. He evenly coyly brought up the proposal during the interview.
Unfortunately, Harry has firmly said "no" to Corden.
On a less serious topic, the One Direction boys chatted about various topics including a sleazy song and life on the road to Corden in an amusing interview.

Biblical freedom of speech and standards of truth
Aug 09, 2018
In regard to freedom of speech, there is a difference between men's laws and God's laws. The US constitution, as historically interpreted, allows men to have and express false opinions—even lies, if they choose. The restriction comes when deliberate lies cause damage to another person's reputation or costs him money.
But many lies are difficult to measure in terms of damage, because they only cause damage to one's perception of political truth or reality in general. US law has difficulty prosecuting such lies, whereas under biblical law such things could result in a whipping (up to 40 lashes, though most such lies would only call for a few lashes).
But in America and in much of the western world, lashes are now outlawed.
So the issue is complex, along with the judgments for such offenses.
I am not a fan of Alex Jones, who was recently banned from most Social Media. U-Tube is worse than Alex Jones because it cares little for truth. It has a political agenda and has banned more than 90% of conservative accounts now. They have taken it upon themselves to be the truth police, and they are using it for political purposes without regard to actual truth.
The big problem this side of the kingdom is What is Truth? And who gets to decide what truth is? The standard of truth for us is the Bible, but the government discarded that a long time ago, creating a vacuum of truth that is being filled now by the Social Media. Their standards follow the general principle of Marxist Socialism, and they use all things to consolidate power in the hands of the few.
The Ninth Commandment says, "You shall not bear false witness" (Deuteronomy 5:20). In a court of law, this applies to those who swear an oath to tell the whole truth, and if they lie deliberately, they are then guilty of perjury (blasphemy) for lying in the name of God. Jesus applied this Commandment to our personal lives. Matthew 5:33-37,
33 Again, you have heard that the ancients were told, "You shall not make false vows, but shall fulfill your vows to the Lord." 34 But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your statement be "yes, yes" or "no, no", and anything beyond these is of evil.
The divine law required some to swear oaths in a court of law, such as in the case of a woman accused (or suspected) of adultery (Numbers 5:21). Jesus was speaking of everyday life, where men might swear to do relatively menial things. In daily life, our word should be trustworthy enough where oaths are not required. If we say we will do something, we should do it.
For example, I knew a woman once who brought her grandchild to my office. When it came time to leave, the child did not want to leave. The woman then threatened the child, saying, "If you don't come, I'm going to leave without you." I noticed that this threat made no impression at all upon the little girl. She was used to such threats and knew that they were empty words. The child had learned by experience that her grandmother's word was not trustworthy. That, in fact, caused the child to lose respect for her grandmother who was raising her. The child had disciplinary problems that only increased as she grew into her teens.
No one knows the whole truth, of course, and so we all struggle in those areas as we do the best we can with what we think we know. It is hardly possible to convey truth all the time. But to lie deliberately is a sin by biblical standards.
In the political arena, lies are commonplace. Laws are deliberately mislabeled to give the opposite impression of what they are intended to do in order to deceive the people into supporting bad laws. Advertising agencies pervert the truth in order to get people to buy their products, whether they need them or not. I have noticed a lot of U-Tube videos whose headlines have little or nothing to do with the contents but are designed only to make money by getting more people to click on them.
The world is full of lies and liars, because we live in a world that is dominated by the father of lies. In war and politics, the accepted standard of truth is very low, because men have adopted the government's example. Young people in the 1990's adopted President Bill Clinton's definition of sexual relations and learned how to reinterpret the word "is" in a legalistic fashion. We wade through the sludge every day in search of truth. Many times we are fooled. That is life in a nation that has revoked God's right to rule what He created.
Such times make me long for the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God allows freedom of speech, but not the freedom to lie. Fake news is not one of the rights of man. The Social Media is correct in its assertion and willingness to ban fake news. However, they are totally hypocritical in this, because they are worse than those they seek to ban. We dare not give Facebook and U-Tube the right to determine what is truth and what is not. Such truth police have their own political agendas—to safeguard the power of Mystery Babylon against those who might expose it and overthrow it.
There is really no easy solution to this problem, other than by reinstating Jesus Christ as the King over America (and all nations). There is no solution, other than making the Bible our Constitution and restoring the supremacy of the laws of God as our standard of righteousness and truth. When the people have had their fill of men's laws, then perhaps they will come to appreciate the laws of God. But it will take a massive move of the Holy Spirit to open men's eyes to this.
I believe this is coming soon. When it does, men will lose confidence in the laws of men, and this will cause a massive vacuum of truth. A lot of people will suddenly be searching for truth, and whoever has the knowledge of God's law will be overwhelmed with inquiries. Prepare now. Buy as much oil as you can for your lamp of truth, so you are not one of the "foolish virgins" who run out of time (Matthew 25:9).

Prayers continue. What you described going on is not unusual. Hopefully today will be better. Take care of you, too. Did you spend the night?
Stomach X-ray this morning showed he has Ileus. Which I understand isn't uncommon. Plus constipation. Now waiting to see what they are going to do. Waiting to see what dr wants to do.
He's finally asleep and has been for nearly 3 hours. After 3 nights of nearly no sleep. Yes I have gone to the apartment a few times, mostly staying here with him.
Prayers going up.
An ileus is a fairly common post-op event. Hopefully it will resolve soon. Take care of you. Prayers for his recovery continue.
Well after 7 days hubby came home yesterday evening. Still hasn't had a bowel movement except with enema, then not much. But his operation for the hernia went very well and he's healing great. Thanks for your prayers and thoughts. Now to finish healing....and POOP
Prayers continue. Glad he is healing but recovering from an ileus is a problem in itself. Can he walk around a little? That often helps. I'm sure your daughter will keep an eye on him.
Yes, he's been using a walker in the hospital. I hope he will continue at home. He's very stubborn when I suggest something.
Does he respond better to your daughter? Being a nurse, he may recognize that she knows what she is talking about.
Yes he does. She's doing pre natal appointments today. I will have her call him and remind him. Thank you for the idea! I don't know why I didn't think of it. She's a midwife and studying for her nursing certification or something, not sure what she calls it. But she keeps up with health issues.
Thank you for the update on your DH.
Tell him that the bowel is a part of his muscle system and that he has to move other muscles to get those muscles to work.
(The issue is more complicated than that but the more he sits the worse it will get.)

Disposable lighters, plastic bottles, baby dummies, balloons, coffee cups and micro plastics were all amongst the items my family and I picked up from Horsey beach in Norfolk.
It was great to see that quite a few other people were doing the same thing, but what would be better is if people didn't drop the rubbish in the first place.
It was heartbreaking to sit and watch this seal playing with a pair of sunglasses.
