Q: .NET - Block main thread until there are any available threads I have a process where my main thread is reading a file and splitting it into parts.  Those parts then require further processing.  I would like to utilize any available threads so that the downstream processing is utilizing as much CPU (or as many cores) as possible.  I don't want to create an excessive backlog from the main thread, so I need the main thread to wait to add to the queue until there is another available thread.
I see many articles like VB.NET 4.0: Looking to execute multiple threads, but wait until all threads are completed before resuming, but they are waiting for all threads to complete, whereas I just need any threads to be available
Is this something I can tackle with the Task Parallel Library, or should I be manually creating threads and monitoring a threadpool?
Using Reader As New StreamReader(FileName)
    Do
        CurrentBlockSize = Reader.ReadBlock(CurrentBuffer, 0, BufferSize)

        RunningBuffer &= New String(CurrentBuffer)

        If RunningBuffer.Contains(RowDelimiter) Then
            LineParts = RunningBuffer.Split(RowDelimiter)

            For I As Integer = 0 To LineParts.Count - 1
                If I < LineParts.Count - 1 Then

                    'Make synchronous call that blocks until'
                    'another thread is available to process the line'
                    AddLineToTheProcessingQueue(CurrentLine)

                Else
                    RunningBuffer = LineParts(I)
                End If
            Next
        End If

    Loop While CurrentBlockSize = BufferSize
End Using

A: Paste this code into a new Console Application.

A: I'm not sure why exactly do you want to do this, but you can achieve something very similar by using BlockingCollection or a dataflow block with BoundedCapacity set.
For example, if you set the capacity to 1 and your consumers are busy at the moment, you won't be able to add a second item to the queue until one of the consumers finishes its current work and removes that item from the queue. And both versions give you a way to wait until you can add another item to the queue.

Ellis Act Information
The Ellis Act is a provision in California Law (Government Code section 7060-7060.7) that provides landlords in California with a legal way to go out of the rental market business.

This 1980 International Harvester Scout II was originally purchased in Colorado and spent 10 years in Washington State before being relocating to Delaware following the seller's acquisition on BaT in November 2016. Powered by a 3.2-liter turbodiesel six coupled to a 4-speed manual transmission with 4-wheel drive, the truck retains the modifications listed in the previous auction as well as recent improvements including a new top, 19-gallon fuel cell, heater core, fuel sending unit, Bluetooth stereo, wheels, and tires. Approximately 1500 miles have been added during the seller's ownership. This Scout is sold with service receipts dating to 2006, a California Car Cover, and a clean Delaware title in the seller's name.
Finished in Concord Blue (6787) under a Rhinyl folding vinyl top, the paint is described as driver-quality with many panels touched up by the previous owner. The grille and aftermarket bumpers are painted black and the seller mentions that rust can be found in the windshield frame.
The body is lifted 1″ over 15″x8″ Pro Comp Series 82 wheels wearing new 31″x10.5″ BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires.
The interior features aftermarket Corbeau seats and a supplemental instrument cluster housing a tachometer, boost gauge, voltmeter, and pyrometer. The heater core and fuel sending unit were recently replaced and the stereo upgraded to a Pioneer MVH-X390BT with Bluetooth.
Locking storage boxes can be found in the cargo area, which has been media blasted and coated in Rhino Lining. The 5-digit odometer shows 95k miles, with total mileage unknown.
Power comes from a Nissan-sourced SD33T turbodiesel straight-six paired with a T-427 4-speed manual transmission. Modifications include a Mercedes turbocharger with adjustable boost, injection pump, intercooler, and cold air intake. The alternator has been upgraded to a stronger GM unit, and a block heater, dual batteries, and an aluminum radiator were added. The oil was changed in November 2017.
The drivetrain features Dana 44 axles front and rear as well as a TC-146 Dana 300 transfer case. The body mounts were cut out and replaced under prior ownership per the seller, while new universal joints were recently installed and the fuel tank upgraded to a 19-gallon cell. The rear main seal is described as exhibiting a slow drip and the differentials as weeping oil. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery below.
The seller has provided a brief driving video above. The truck is sold with parts and service records dating back to 2006.

Neues Beginnen war eine linkssozialistische Zeitschrift, die den Untertitel Blätter Internationaler Sozialisten hatte, was darauf hindeutete, dass es sich um das Publikationsorgan der rätekommunistischen Organisation Gruppe Internationale Sozialisten handelte. Die Zeitschrift erschien anfangs, ab 1947, illegal in Berlin und kam bis 1950 monatlich heraus. Danach, bis zur letzten Ausgabe 1955, erschien sie unregelmäßig.

Entwicklung, Positionen
Anfangs wurde die Zeitschrift in der Berliner Wohnung Alfred Weilands hektographiert. Aus Tarnungsgründen gab man den Verlagsort Zürich an.  1950 gab es kurzzeitig eine Fusion mit der neuen Monatsschrift Funken, die abwechselnd von der Berliner Redaktion um Weiland und der Ulmer Redaktion um Fritz Lamm erstellt wurde, doch schon Ende des Jahres scheitere die Kooperation. Die Neues-Beginnen-Gruppe strebte ein taktisches Bündnis mit den West-Alliierten an und wollte als "antibolschewistisches Kampfblatt" in die DDR hineinwirken. Die Funken-Redaktion wollte dagegen ein "Ausspracheblatt" der westdeutschen Linken anbieten und insbesondere den linken Flügel der SPD erreichen. Neues Beginnen verstand sich im Gegensatz dazu weniger als Diskussionsforum, denn als Diskutant zur Verbreitung rätekommunistischer Positionen.

Erster Herausgeber von Neues Beginnen war Weiland, nach seiner Verschleppung durch die sowjetische Geheimpolizei übernahm Willy Huhn diese Position. Die Zeitschrift druckte neben den Beiträgen von Weiland und Huhn Texte von Bertolt Brecht, Anton Pannekoek, Jack London und anderen. Dem Großteil der Artikel fehlte jedoch die namentliche Zuordnung.

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by redness, flushing pimples, and, in advanced stages, thickened skin. Rosacea usually occurs on the face, and presents with flushing on the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin. Adult women are afflicted more often than men by rosacea, and its onset might be accompanied by a burning sensation or sensitivity. Rosacea is a chronic disorder and is typically characterized by relapses and remissions. It may also make the skin more sensitive to lotions or makeup. Treatment for rosacea may include medical therapy and lifestyle modifications. A broad-spectrum SPF is recommended daily, as well as skin care products that do not contain harsh chemicals or ingredients that may irritate or cause a rosacea flare. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, a topical prescription cream or oral medication may be recommended. Also, we advocate watching for triggers, which may not be the same from one person to the next, and continuing therapy seem to help prevent recurrence of symptoms. Common triggers include stress, sun exposure, hormonal changes, alcohol intake, and spicy foods.
Our staff of professional providers are passionate about rosacea care. There are several simple ways to calm and treat rosacea. Dr. Jennifer Myers and her staff specialize in the treatment of rosacea and helping our patients establish a custom treatment plan for all types of rosacea. For more information about rosacea, please visit www.rosacea.org for a wealth of information and patient education materials. Also, the National Rosacea Society has a Facebook page you may like.
When combined with appropriate homecare, professional facials offer significant improvement in the health and appearance of skin. SkinCeuticals facial protocols are designed for specific skin types and conditions and are customized for the full spectrum of skin concerns including, acne, ageing, discoloration, rosacea, and more.
Redness Neutralizing Rosacea Treatment: Created to address signed of mild to moderate rosacea and sensitive skin, this treatment reduces redness, flushing and discomfort while it reinforces the skin's barrier.
For many patients frustrated with topical and/or oral medications to treat rosacea or melasma, IPL is the preferred treatment method for long-lasting results. These laser and light therapies can be used alone or in combination with other lasers and/or with skin fillers. Patients are often amazed that IPL offers such dramatic results with no downtime!This treatment works by sending a low-energy beam of light directly into the affected skin while maximizing both patient comfort and safety at all times. Facial redness, dialtes veins, hemangiomas, port wine stains, unwanted pigmentation (melasma), dull skin tone, and fine wrinkles can all be improved with fewer, more comfortable treatment sessions.

Ridgefield is happy to announce our new online pharmacy! Using the Vets First Choice online pharmacy site is just like purchasing the product at our hospital except that there are more options and delivery is available. Things like heartworm product guarantees are through us, and we handle any issues you may have with products.
As a small business ( even though we seem large!) we have seen increasing issues with stocking every size and type of food and medication for every size and type of pet. Add to that the number of pets that require special compounding of medications, and we found it necessary to find a pharmacy that could fill all of these needs. Vets First Choice handles a large variety of pet supplies, nutritional supplements, special diets, and other non-prescription items, as well as specialty medications that we cannot stock due to the rarity of need. For prescription medications, all we need to do is request the proper medication, dose, and even flavor when possible, and the pharmacy will contact you for payment and shipping information. That prescription can then be refilled easily from home.
While we will always carry frequently needed items in our pharmacy for immediate needs, Vets First Choice will allow for long term medications to be sent straight to your home. Large quantity discounts or bottle prices are available on some chronic medications as well. Through this, we have knowledge of your record of purchase and it is tracked in your pet's medical record just as if you had purchased it from us directly.
And while diet therapy is extremely important when treating many medical conditions, there are now so many types and flavors and sizes that it has become impossible for us to cary them all. Through Vets First Choice, you can get your pets particular diet delivered directly to your doorstep.


What's the story? Boxing coach Billy Meehan created a 12-fight fundraiser event to create awareness and raise money for disadvantaged youth in the Manawatu. Local volunteers from all walks of life proved willing to step into the ring. And so did we - by working with local coordinators to promote the event, developing a grass roots, retro-yet-still-modern style for the promotional material, reflecting its 'home grown' aspect. And the fundraiser was a winner - a solid achievement that attracted national publicity.

Qualifying Tournament
Super Qualifying Tournament
Championship Tournament
Teams may advance to only 1 (one) Super Regional Championship Tournament.
The team may only advance to the first Super Regional Championship Tournament that they are invited to.
A team cannot decline their first invitation and accept an invitation to a different Super Regional Championship Tournament
A team who has earned their way directly to the World Championship cannot participate in a Super Regional Championship Tournament. For example, a team who won the Inspire Award in Mexico will advance directly to a World Championship event. If the same team is Captain of the Winning Alliance at a New Mexico event, they are not eligible to advance to the South Super-Regional, because they have already earned a spot at a World Championship event.

State and Local Administrative Agencies. State and local administrative agencies often mirror federal agencies. Thus, the individual states have agencies that control transportation, public health, public assistance, education, natural resources, labor, law enforcement, agriculture, commerce, and revenue.

The substance of an administrative agency's powers must be intelligible, and a system of controls must be in place to limit those powers, but courts almost always find that administrative agencies meet these requirements. Administrative agency rules and regulations often have the force of law against individuals.

Penneys, Mary St. Redevelopment
Conservation & Refurbishment
This €10 million project for Penney's on Mary Street involved the complete refurbishment of the retail floors and stockroom areas of a listed building that was constructed in 1912. This included creating 4000sqm of new retail area at 1st floor level and significant structural modifications at basement and ground floor level. In order to open up the retail space and provide improved access to each floor, a central circulation area was created from basement to 1st floor incorporating three 14m spanning escalators and 3 fully glazed scenic lift shafts. This work involved removing a 13m x 13m section of floor slab at ground and 1st floor levels, construction of new lift and escalator pits at basement level by excavating below the water table into weak gravels, significant temporary works to support existing structure during construction works.
Mini piling was used for new foundation works and to increase the capacity of existing foundations where required. Pressure grouting of the gravels was used in order to facilitate excavations below the water table level. Other works included the installation of 2 new goods lifts, new staff and customer stairs, and the removal of old stairs and escalators, with significant intervention works at ground floor level.
The construction period was 9 months and the works were carried out on a phased basis as it was essential that the store could remain trading throughout and that there were no detrimental effects to the operations of Primark's Head Office staff located in the building at 2nd and 3rd floor levels.

Since 2009, PepsiCo has been donating nutritious breakfast to the Magic Breakfast charity, which provides free food to over 16,000 children in 430 schools. The charity targets schools where 35% or more of the children are eligible for Free School Meals, thereby helping those most in need. In 2013, PepsiCo provided 196,741 bowls of porridge and 92,430 litres of 100% fruit juice. By leveraging surplus stock, this was done while ensuring that waste levels were reduced and thus delivering environmental and financial sustainability.

Furthermore, the charity, supported by PepsiCo's Quaker and Tropicana brands, won the Prime Minister's Big Society Award in 2011 for its dedication to providing pupils in deprived communities with a healthy breakfast.

The Asian Shippers' Council will be a platform for the members to work in close corporation and to share the developments of the shipping industry in a positive environment. The annual meeting enabled the participating countries to take forward the deliberations to the Global Shippers' Forum to be held in September in London, Convener Asian Shippers' Council (ASC) Rohan Masakolara said.
The fifth annual meeting of the Asian Shippers' Council concluded on Saturday in Colombo.
"The annual meeting was a huge boost to the country as this was the first ever international meeting after eradicating terrorism. It also provided an opportunity to showcase and position the country on the global map. Not only the country's shipping industry, but the country as a whole will benefit from this international meeting," he said.
"We have an important announcement to make. It will be a remarkable achievement and will be known to the public early next week," he said.
The ACP Chairman John Lu said that Sri Lanka could realize its full potential as a key international gateway for shipping. With the stability due to peace, business will grow and tourism will once again flourish. The country is well-poised to be a commercial hub in the region.
Highlighting the need for maritime regulatory reforms similar to those in Europe and America, he said that the Asian Shippers will be at a disadvantage, losing billions each year unless there is maritime regulatory reform.
Asia is the world's biggest merchandise exporter with a total of over one trillion US dollars each year. Ninety percent of it is transported by the sea. Yet, Asia is the only major trading block that has no proper regulatory protection for their shippers against liner shipping cartels. Over the past years, liners continue to collude to impose new and higher surcharges on the back of global financial crisis and container ship over-capacity.
"We are now living in the 21st century and believe this outmoded, outdated and out of touch century old cartel system should be abolished. This will bring substantial benefits to all the Asian countries," Lu said.
ASC was formed in 2004 to bring shippers across this vast and dynamic region on to a single platform.
It seeks to address the issues impinging on trade, such as freight rates, custom regulations, maritime security and trade and shipping regulations.

Wuxiaworld > Advent of the Archmage > 667 Temptation of the Celestial Stone
667 Temptation of the Celestial Stone
Add Bookmarks Previous Chapter ← Index → Next Chapter
Blow darts had very short tips. They were like needles and weren't very strong. In fact, they barely had any fatality. At most, they would break through one's skin. Their biggest power came from the anesthetic poison the tips were dipped in.
Naturally, Link's group was all hit. Each one got shot in the neck and collapsed onto the ground, unconscious.
Around ten seconds later, three guys in dark gray leather armor ducked out of the bushes. The guy at the front was still holding his metal crossbow. It was aimed at Link with an arrow in place just in case.
"Go get their weapons!" The person said to the other two while his crossbow was still aimed at Link's trio.
The two thieves sprinted over and stripped the three of their stuff. They found three daggers, a regular steel sword, a crossbow, and some valuable little things like silver rings and jade necklaces.
"Boss, this is all," one thief said.
The boss cocked his head at the things on the ground and studied the unconscious trio. He smiled. "They're young and muscular. We can sell them as Warriors. We hit the jackpot. Go search their bags."
"Gotcha," the two thieves answered. Happy, they jogged to the horses and opened up the bags. The three were clearly traveling merchants. They would definitely have a bunch of good things.
While searching, one thief yelped. The boss jumped and almost shot his arrow. Shocked, he asked quickly, "What's wrong?"
"Boss, look, look! Something good!"
The skinny thief turned around, holding a stallion statue in his hands. More accurately, it was half a statue. It had been sliced by something sharp, and the cut was smooth.
The most attractive thing was the statue's material. It was semi-translucent and shone gently like crystal. It made one get the urge to clutch the statue and caress it forever.
All three thieves gaped at the statue and gulped, swallowing heavily. They just stared like idiots. How could there be such a pretty thing in the world? It must be priceless.
After a full five minutes, the head darted over and grabbed the bag on the horse, covering the statue. Finally, he let out a breath.
"This must be valuable. It must be priceless!" one thief mumbled while staring at the bag. He couldn't see the statue anymore, but just looking at the bag reassured him.
"Boss, what should we do?" the other thief asked. His eyes flashed for an unspoken reason.
The boss was familiar with that light. Usually, when they chanced upon something valuable, they would secretly take it and exchange it for money. Then the three brothers would splurge happily.
If they sold this statue, they could live wealthily without doing anything.
But this time, the boss didn't say anything. He kept silent. Deep down, he obviously wanted the treasure for himself. However, another voice told him that it was too valuable and dangerous. If people found out, they might die.
Their lives were still more important than money… Any logical man would know what to do.
After debating for a full fifteen minutes, the boss gritted his teeth and said, "We can't take this. We might not be alive to spend the money. Hand it over. Leader will reward us greatly."
The other two thieves weren't happy, but thinking of the Syndicate's cruel punishments, they shuddered.
"Boss, we'll listen to you."
With that, the head thief's thoughts ran more smoothly. "Take these three back too. There's only half of the statue. They must know where the other half is."
"Whatever you say."
The three started acting immediately. They dragged the three unconscious men onto the horse and tied them up nicely. Seeing that there was stew left in the pot, they sat down and drank it all. Then they started walking the horse down the small path beside the road, going deep into the forest.
As they walked, the trees grew denser. After more than ten miles, the trees grew sparser again. A river valley appeared before them. In the distance, one could see a castle.
This was one of the Syndicate's strongholds.
The three thieves led the horse towards the castle. At the entrance of the river valley, the bush moved, and a young and agile man in black leather walked out. Looking at the three unconscious men on the horse, he furrowed his brows. "Why did you bring outsiders in?"
Only Syndicate thieves knew about this secret stronghold. Usually, they would sell slaves outside instead of bringing them into the stronghold. If that happened, the location would be exposed. The Syndicate didn't like to be out in the open.
The head thief nodded submissively. "Yamu, we found something really good to give to the leader."
"Oh, something good?" The thief wasn't impressed. These three weren't powerful. Their Battle Aura was only Level-2, and they could only capture lone merchants to sell as slaves. What good things could they find?
The head thief walked forward with the bag. He opened it slightly, revealing the statue inside.
Yamu gasped as soon as he saw it. When he looked back at the thieves, his eyes were different. "That really is good. I'll bring you to the leader!"
He'd never seen a stone like this, but he could feel the power aura coming from it. It didn't look bad either. It was definitely extraordinary; the leader would definitely like it.
He turned to lead the way. As he walked, he said, "You three really got lucky to get something that good. You'll definitely be rewarded well."
"Hehe, Brother Yamu, I won't forget about you." The head thief quickly smiled. He had to. Here, he wasn't as powerful or important as Yamu. He had to bow down to the man.
"You're very thoughtful, haha." Yamu was pleased.
The group led the horse into the castle walls. In the courtyard, people dragged the still-unconscious trio off the horse and into the dungeon. Yamu brought the three thieves into the castle's main hall.
The hall was vast. In the front, there was a huge statue of a muscular middle-aged man. His face was covered and there was a dagger on either side of his thighs. The statue was hidden in the shadows, and every detail was on point. From afar, it looked as if a thief was really hiding in the darkness and could jump out at any time.
This was the Shadow Stalker Morpheus.
Before the statue, a figure shrouded in dark aura stood in the shadows. His face was hidden, but his eyes glowed faintly with red light. When he looked at the four entering the hall, they felt like a viper was watching them and shuddered in unison.
"What good news did you bring?" the man spoke. His voice was raspy. When it rang throughout the hall, it sounded like a snake's hiss. It gave one goosebumps.
"Leader, these three captured three merchants and found this." Yamu took the bag. He walked up and offered it up.
The leader took the back. When he opened it, his eyes instantly brightened. The dark room seemed to brighten too as if a star had fallen onto earth.
"This statue…this stone…it's a Celestial Stone!" the leader couldn't help but exclaim, his breath quickening. He knew what this was!
Celestial Stone
Level-16 Astral Meteorite
Effect: It dazzles like a star on the outside. If one grinds it into fine gold, the weapons created are formless and traceless. It won't let out a bit of aura while being almost perfectly anti-magic. It is an Assassin's top choice.
(Note: There is only one star in the world. The others are destined to fall.)
While appreciating the beauty, the leader suddenly said, "Why is it only half? Where's the other half?"
For priceless treasures like this, one would never worry about having too much. Even if there was only a shred of a chance to get more, he would snatch it up!
Judging from the breakage point, someone had chopped it off with a sword. It was a fresh cut too and should have been recent. If he had a clue, he could definitely find the other half.
"It was found in the merchant's belongings," Yamu quickly replied. "There was only half. Leader, should we bring them over?"
Before the leader replied, there was a soft buzz behind him. They all looked over and saw that Morpheus' statue's eyes lit up. Bloody light shot out while boundless pressure weighed down.
The four thieves immediately fell to their knees. They didn't even dare to breathe.
Morpheus kept surveillance of his high-level believers' minds. Once there were dramatic abnormalities, he would sense it. Now, the leader was suddenly ecstatic, so Morpheus' focus projected from the statue to see what was happening.
And thus, he saw the Celestial Stone.
Recently, Morpheus had been feeling off. There was a vague sense of danger. To protect himself, he wanted to create a powerful weapon for himself. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough materials to fulfill that goal.
The Celestial Stone's appearance was like a traveler in a desert seeing an oasis. Morpheus was immediately excited. With this stone, he could definitely produce the most advanced divine gear for thieves!
A voice rang out in the minds of all the thieves present. Take this Celestial Stone and the three mortals to be. I will interrogate them personally! Hurry! Now!
The leader was shocked. "Yes, Master," he hurriedly said. "I will do it now!"

March 6, 2016 Decreased opioid use prior to joint replacement surgery has been linked with improved patient satisfaction and outcomes, fewer complications and a reduced need for post-surgical opioids, according to two new studies.
They found nearly 59 percent of the patients (49,617) did not use opioids prior to surgery, while 41.4 percent did. The top three prescribed opioids were hydrocodone/acetaminophen, oxycodone/acetaminophen, and oxycodone.
In opioid users, the study showed that a 50 percent or greater preoperative reduction of opioid use leads to better patient outcomes," said lead author Kevin Bozic from the University of Texas at Austin.
"We recommend that chronic opioid users who are considering hip or knee replacement work with their primary care physician or pain management team to reduce their use of opioids prior to considering elective surgery," Bozic said.

I don't own Splatoon either, but I have been renting it. It's a fun experience that will make you never want to stop. I've see people talk about how skeptical at first they were about the online multiplayer, but ended up loving it before too long. Here is some info for free. At level 4, you'll have access to the shops. With each level or two, you get new weapons and clothing to use. At level 10 the Ranked and Squad Battle options are available to you.
Also a free piece of advice. Find the weapon you are most comfortable with and stick with it. That's unless you find something better to fit your battle style.
In anycase, welcome Pollyanna! Remember to keep fresh!

That's my case too. I hype a lot with WiiU games specially those I find appealing like Splatoon. In my case I do not have the WiiU either. But maybe you will get the game very soon. Just work out little things. It's not much. And yes I think that was the special CD for Mother here, Mother 2 over there in Japan. Here some wiki info:
The NES was only able to play three notes at a time, which Suzuki has noted greatly limited what he was able to produce, as he could not create some of the sounds he wanted. Melodies and themes from some pieces from the soundtrack were reused in the other games in the series. ("Pollyanna", "Snowman", and "Eight Melodies" make an appearance in all three games.) Some of the music from the game was recorded as a studio album by Suzuki and Tanaka in collaboration with various artists entitled Mother. The album was released by CBS/Sony on August 21, 1989. It consists of eleven tracks, seven of which are English vocal arrangements of songs from the game created by Suzuki, David Bedford, Takeshi Saitoh, and Michael Nyman. The lyrics to these arrangements were written by Linda Hennrick, and each one was performed by a different artist or group such as Catherine Warwick and St Paul's Cathedral Choir. The album cover shows the word "MOTHER" in a shade of brown over a red background; the letter "O" of "MOTHER" is replaced by an image of planet Earth, also with a brownish tinge. The soundtrack was reissued on February 18, 2004 by Sony Music Direct with its tracks digitally remastered, a song from EarthBound entitled "Smile and Tears" was added, and the track "The World of Mother" was replaced with a version that is six minutes longer.
I have to save all of my money for schooling. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be owning a wiiu or squid simulator anytime soon.

You don't have a WiiU I though you lacked the game only. That's two of us then.
That's the way she goes. Maybe I should take squid *****'s advice and take the ink.

Claude Reignier Conder (Cheltenham, Reino Unido, 29 de diciembre de 1848 - Cheltenham, 16 de febrero de 1910) fue un militar británico, así como explorador de la región del Oriente Próximo. Hijo de F.R. Conder, era asimismo descendiente del escultor del siglo XVII Louis-François Roubiliac. Tras establecerse en Hackney (cerca de Londres), cursó estudios en el University College de Londres y en la Royal Military Academy de Woolwich, donde conoció a Charles Warren, y donde logró su primera misión en los Royal Engineers el 8 de enero de 1870.

Con el rango de teniente, fue designado en junio de 1872 para liderar desde Nablus la expedición Survey of Western Palestine (Inspección de Palestina Occidental) a cargo de la Fondo para la Exploración de Palestina, sustituyendo al capitán Stewart, enfermo de malaria, y que había dirigido la expedición desde octubre de 1871 desde Jaffa. Esta expedición fue la primera que documentó y cartografió con precisión la zona meridional del Levante mediterráneo al oeste del río Jordán, proporcionando por primera vez a arqueólogos, botánicos, geólogos y geógrafos valiosa información de las regiones visitadas. En 1874, tras la muerte por malaria de su asistente Charles Tyrwhitt-Drake, el teniente Horatio Kitchener y los sargentos Black y Armstrong se unieron a la expedición. Uno de los lugares visitados por Conder fue la cumbre de Masada en marzo de 1875, en la cual permaneció un día realizando dos planos de la meseta y de su entorno.

En julio de 1875 el Imperio otomano canceló la expedición tras ser ésta atacada en las cercanías de Safed, resultando Conder, Kitchener y otros acompañantes seriamente heridos. Conder permaneció durante un tiempo restableciéndose en Palestina antes de regresar al Reino Unido, llevando consigo los mapas y la información recopilada en la expedición. Durante tres años estuvo preparando el material obtenido de cara a su posterior publicación, junto con el mapa final de la expedición, cuya escala era de una pulgada por milla. Concluyó esta labor en abril de 1878, mientras que el texto inconcluso fue finalizado por Kirchener un año antes. La publicación de los resultados de la expedición se produjo finalmente a partir de 1880 hasta 1884, en siete volúmenes y con el título de Memoires.

En 1881 las autoridades otomanas concedieron un nuevo permiso para la exploración de Palestina, asumiendo de nuevo Conder (ahora con el rango de capitán) el liderazgo de la expedición, redescubriendo el emplazamiento de Kadesh en Siria y explorando la región al este del Jordán. Sin embargo, las tensas relaciones entre el Imperio otomano y el británico provocaron la cancelación del permiso un año más tarde, cuando sólo se habían explorado apenas mil kilómetros cuadrados. Esta segunda expedición permitió a Conder el estudio de varios dolmenes y otros monumentos megalíticos tardíos, así como el aprendizaje del idioma árabe y el estudio de varias lenguas antiguas de la zona, como el hitita y otras de tipo altaico, investigación que publicó en una posterior monografía.

Tras esta segunda expedición, fue enviado ese mismo año (1882) para participar en la campaña del general Garnet Wolseley contra la rebelión de Ahmed Urabi en Egipto, luchando en las batallas de Kassassin y de Tel al-Kebir. Posteriormente trabajó para el Ordnance Survey en Plymouth desde 1887 hasta 1894, y desde ese año hasta 1905 estuvo destinado en el oeste de Irlanda. Retirado con el rango de coronel en su localidad natal, falleció tras una apoplejía en 1910, a la edad de 61 años.
