Q: Unable to update item in Firebase Database I am new to android i have made a project to store members information in one activity and in another activity i display members in listView and on onlong clicking listview i open another activity to update members information but when i click on update button it adds that record instead of Updating.
My Firebase Structure :

My activity for storing :
 public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
EditText txtname,txtage,txtheight,txtphone;
 Button btnsave,btnRead;
  Member member;
 DatabaseReference reff;
  @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    txtname = findViewById(R.id.txtname);
    txtage =findViewById(R.id.txtage);
    txtphone =findViewById(R.id.txtphone);
    txtheight =findViewById(R.id.txtheight);
    btnsave = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnsave);
    btnRead =(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnRead);
    btnRead.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            openActivity();
        }
        private void openActivity() {
            Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Retreivedata.class);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    });
    member = new Member();
    reff = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("Member");

    btnsave.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            AddUsers();
        }
    });
    }

    if(!TextUtils.isEmpty(name)) {
        String id =  reff.push().getKey();
        Member member = new Member(id, name, age, phone, ht);
        reff.child(id).setValue(member);
        Toast.makeText(this,"User Inserted Successfully",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

          return false;
      }

    btnDlt.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
                ref.child(member.getMemberId()).removeValue();
                Toast.makeText(Retreivedata.this, "Record deleted Successfully",
             Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                adapter.remove(member);
                adapter.clear();

        }
    });

}
}

My activity for updating record:
 public class Update extends AppCompatActivity {

EditText EditTxtName,EditTxtAge,txtPhone,txtHeight;
Member member;

    EditTxtAge = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.EditTxtAge);
    txtPhone = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtPhone);
    txtHeight = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtHeight);
    btnUpdate = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnUpdate);

    final Member member= (Member) getIntent().getSerializableExtra("tem");

    EditTxtName.setText(member.getName());
    EditTxtAge.setText(member.getAge());
    txtPhone.setText(member.getPhone());
    txtHeight.setText(member.getHeight());

    reff = db.getInstance().getReference().child("Member");
    btnUpdate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Update();
        }
    });

 }
 private void Update(){
    final String mnam = EditTxtName.getText().toString().trim();
    final String mage = EditTxtAge.getText().toString().trim();
     final String mph = txtPhone.getText().toString().trim();
     final String mhei = txtHeight.getText().toString().trim();
       final String ID =  reff.getKey();
if(TextUtils.isEmpty(mnam)) {
       EditTxtName.setText("Plz enter name");}
if(TextUtils.isEmpty(mage)) {
    EditTxtName.setText("Plz enter age");}
else{
 final Member member = new Member(ID,mnam,mage,mph,mhei);
         reff.child("Member").child(ID).addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
             @Override
             public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
                 reff = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();
               reff.child("Member").child(ID).child("name").setValue(mnam);

             }

             @Override
             public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) {

             }
         });
            Toast.makeText(Update.this,"Updated",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            txtHeight.setText("");
    txtPhone.setText("");
  EditTxtName.setText("");
  }
   }
}

But after updating record it creates another record.Suggest me what changes has to be done on update button click.
Thnaks!!

A: First I assume that you implement Serializable for your Member class:
class Member implements Serializable{
.............
.............
.............

}

Since you are passing the member object to the update activity, why not use the ID in it to update the data:
//the update activity
public class Update extends AppCompatActivity {

//this is the member that you pass
Member member;

......
......

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
.........
.........
//this is how you retrieve it
member= (Member) getIntent().getSerializableExtra("tem");

//this is your ref
reff = db.getInstance().getReference().child("Member");

........
........

}

//when you update

private void Update(){

final String mnam = EditTxtName.getText().toString().trim();
final String mage = EditTxtAge.getText().toString().trim();
final String mph = txtPhone.getText().toString().trim();
final String mhei = txtHeight.getText().toString().trim();

//update the name field
reff.child(member.getMemberId()).child("name").setValue(mnam);

}

A: Your problem is this line of code final String ID =  reff.getKey()
That call generates a new ID which you then use in your update of the db. You need to replace the call to getKey with the ID of the member you want to update.

Q: Telnet support in JSch I'm currently building a Java application which will connect to a switch using Telnet or SSH. I'm currently using the JSch for the SSH connection, but I read in Stack Overflow question SSH and Telnet library for java that JSch also supports Telnet.
Is this correct? And if so, could some one provide a small example?

A: The JSch is an SSH library.
Quoting the JSch web page:

JSch is a pure Java implementation of SSH2.

No mention on Telnet.

Also, there's no mention of the "telnet" or "23" in the JSch source code.
The only classes that connect anywhere (= use Socket Java class) are Session (SSH), Proxy* and ChannelForwardedTCPIP (port forwarding) and ChannelX11.

Alfen partners with Ellevio to deliver Sweden's largest grid scale battery
Save to read list
Published by Abi Larkin, Editorial Assistant
Energy Global, Tuesday, 30 August 2022 15:30
Swedish energy company Ellevio is expanding its scope to help industries and businesses become fossil-free through electrification. Its first project – Sweden's largest grid scale battery – includes Alfen's 10 MW modular energy storage system, TheBattery ElementsTM, which enables optimal use of renewable energy and stability in the power grid.
"Increasing renewables, decentralising energy, and growing electricity consumption are creating challenges for the European power grid," said Stephanie Schockaert, Sales Director for Alfen's Energy Storage Division. "Solutions like battery energy storage systems that are seamlessly integrated into the medium-voltage grid solve these problems for grid operators. With our Finnish subsidiary Alfen Elkamo, we're proud to help build the power grid of the future using our fully integrated solutions. In this way, we are supporting Ellevio as it works to achieve its goals, and we are contributing to those of its home country of Sweden."
Sweden is one of the first countries in the world to adopt a net zero emissions target, which it intends to achieve by 2045. At the same time, Sweden expects to more than double its electricity consumption over the next 25 years while using its main source of new electricity generation coming from wind power. Depending on how much wind there is, the amount of electricity fed into the grid will vary. If the balance is disturbed, there is a risk of disruptions in the electricity system that can be both costly and lead to dangerous grid outages.
Alfen's TheBattery Elements can help balance these disruptions. It is an industrial and modular energy storage system equipped with fast frequency reserve (FFR) control technology that can handle the fluctuations (low inertia situations) in the Nordic grid using synthetic inertia. It requires very fast response times (<0.7sec.) which are also supported by Alfen's in-house developed software platform. TheBattery system can also be used for other grid services and/or energy trading.
"For the energy transition to succeed, we need to ensure that the flow of electricity in the power grid is stable," said Kristofer Frøjd, Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Development at Ellevio AB. "We are achieving this stability by building Sweden's largest electricity grid battery, which will support state-owned Svenska Kraftnäts' needs to create balance in the national electricity grid. This is an important and exciting step in our journey to create energy solutions that help transform our energy system in Sweden."

I've been catching up on the last few months of DomainSherpa interviews and they always give some great nuggets to think about. Some things I heard discussed recently included the new top level domain extensions and thoughts on how successful they would be.
Frank Schilling mentioned a couple points about the new "right of the dot" explosion of new gTLDs going on right now.
That now is the time to get in since many of these gTLDs are undersubscribed from a consumer point of view. He mentioned that many keywords were available across a wide swath of the new domain extensions, and he expects the supply to tighten by the time we reach the end of 2014.
That although .com will always hold currency, it will begin to wane as these newer gTLDs get established in the enduser's eyes as preferred URLs for their web presence. He used the metaphor of the radio: certainly AM was the first form of broadcast, and while it remains with us now and into the foreseeable future, it's already been crowded out of people's mindshare by competing technologies. This is a bold claim but makes sense coming from someone who is bullish on the new landrush of gTLDs like .guru and .nyc.
You can track the prices of recently sold domain names at dnpric.es. This will give you some idea of the gTLD's popularity and a ballpark figure for what you should be paying for premium domains in that domain extension.
I was actually thinking about gurus last night when watching the movie Her. In the film people rely on OS's, virtual people, that help them though the day and in some ways are better than regular people. Can you imagine a world where people start registering a personalized .guru domain to facilitate communication with their OS? Sure that's unlikely, but some of these new gTLDs are going to take on a life of their own in ways we can't imagine.
Keep in mind that some of these extensions (like .click and .xyz) were given deep discounts to spur adoption. It remains to be seen what the effect of sticker shock will be on consumers when they see the true cost of renewing these domains.


Unless you've been living under a rock this month, chances are you were as elated about Versace's original supermodel reunion as the rest of the Internet. Naomi, Cindy, Claudia, Helena, and Carla closing the show to George Michael's "Freedom" was the pinnacle of a season in which there was more of a push for age inclusivity than ever. While young girls (see: Kaia Gerber, age 16) remain the norm on the runways, designers are increasingly spotlighting original muses from decades past. From 46-year-old Kirsten Owen's triumphant return at Helmut Lang to Jane Fonda and Helen Mirren working it at L'Oreal to the Balmain's host of '00s stars, CR presents a comprehensive look at the most iconic, over-30 models that conquered Spring 2018.
Why She's Major: It was a kismet moment when Owen―the first lady of early '90s grunge, who was also the face of Helmut Lang in 1997—appeared on Shayne Oliver's newly-revamped brand's runway 20 years later.
Why She's Major: This Ethiopian beauty has been making the rounds since Tom Ford personally selected her as an exclusive for the Gucci Fall/Winter 2000 show. As the first black model to become the face of Estee Lauder, she remains a muse to designers from Raf Simons to Nicolas Ghesquière―and launched her own socially conscious fashion label, Lemlem, in 2011.
Why She's Major: Even if she wasn't born into Scottish nobility (she's a descendant of the storied Mitford sisters and a distant cousin to Princess Diana), this androgynous aristocrat was destined for great things early on. Her statuesque, versatile look transitioned seamlessly from early '90s grunge to Chanel Haute Couture, and her opening turn at Balenciaga this season crystallized her enduring cool.
Why She's Major: It doesn't get more legendary than the South Sudan native, who escaped from civil war in her home country in 1991, and went on to change the industry's perceptions of beauty for dark-skinned girls everywhere. After wearing one of the key, couture-inspired looks from Demna Gvasalia's Fall 2017 collection, we were happy to see Wek return for round two at Balenciaga this season. She also covers the latest issue of CR Fashion Book.
Why They're Major: Entire books could be written about these legends' careers. The fab five, who all became household names during the '90s, absolutely won fashion month when they closed Versace's Spring show to George Michael's anthem "Freedom."
Why She's Major: Appropriately nicknamed "Supernova," this real-life Russian doll famously went from rags-to-riches, and has worked with countless designers and top photographers over the past two decades. Married to LVMH scion Antoine Arnault, the model-philanthropist (who opened Balmain this season) founded her Naked Heart Foundation charity in 2004.
Why She's Major: This season's Versace show was all about '90s supers, but the Balmain cast reunited many of our favorite '00s models―including Kurkova, the former Victoria's Secret Angel and high fashion favorite, who was voted "world's sexiest woman" by E! Entertainment in 2008.
Why She's Major: This Brazilian bombshell needs no introduction. The Victoria's Secret Angel is in better shape than most models half her age, and continues to get premium bookings including Balmain and Alberta Ferretti this season.
Why She's Major: This All-American beach babe is an industry mainstay, and has been the face of Estee Lauder for over 15 years. Murphy continues to rack up campaigns and runway appearances (she's staple at Kors), and is a longtime favorite of Carine.
Why She's Major: Without a doubt, Kirsty was our favorite comeback this season. How gorgeous is that hair? Discovered by Patrick Demarchelier, she's worked with designers like Alexander McQueen and John Galliano over the years, and is currently an eco-advocate who blends her own all-natural oils.
Why She's Major: Smack dab in the middle of the Brazilian modeling craze of the late '90s, Liisa landed three consecutive Gucci campaigns in a row. The Canadian beauty has always been something of an underrated icon, but designers like Kors, The Row, and Proenza Schouler are giving her new relevance.
Why She's Major: Our original freckles crush from the early aughts, Maggie has crept back into the spotlight, walking for Kors, Louis Vuitton, Anna Sui, and Prabal Gurung in recent years. Did we mention she just gave birth to her fourth child in June?
Why She's Major: Let us all hope to drink from the fountain of youth that Fonda has been tapping for decades. The former model-actress-fitness guru-activist positively slayed her walk at the L'Oreal show (she's an ambassador for the brand) in Paris, giving the 70% of women over 55 who feel "invisible in society"a fierce champion to look up to.
Why She's Major: She's the great Dame of everlasting sexiness (have you seen her in a bikini?), defying ageism one magazine cover at a time. The accomplished British actress and L'Oreal spokeswoman looked impossibly confident as she rocked the runway with a cane during PFW.
Why She's Major: See the definition for "Queen." No but seriously, Campbell always has something up her sleeve during fashion month, but Spring 2018 was particularly epic for the British sensation, who reunited with fellow '90s supers at Versace, and opened Virgil Abloh's Princess Diana-themed Off-White show.
Why She's Major: Nobody channels old school film siren vibes quite like Balti, who has become a bona fide celeb in her home country of Italy, and is as in-demand now as she was during her '00s heyday.
Why She's Major: Few models can claim to have had Kanye West rap about them (Yeezy name checks Rubik in his 2012 song, "Cold"). The Polish stunner's cool cred has always been off the charts, and she's as leggy today as ever. Who could forget her slit-up-to-there Met Gala look in 2012?
Why She's Major: Yet another early aughts fixture having a major moment, Gadjus has been racking up editorials lately, and remains a muse to designers including Anthony Vaccarello, Dries Van Noten, and the Proenza Schouler boys.
Why She's Major: As one of the most prolific models of the '00s, the ethereal Moscow native starred in―count 'em―15 different Prada campaigns, and that's just scratching the surface of the her storied career. Pivovarova, who is also a fine artist, has been on a roll again lately, opening Dior, in addition to walking Lanvin, Isabel Marant, and Dries Van Noten.
Why She's Major: Kass had an untouchable streak of ad campaigns for Michael Kors in the '00s starring her gorgeously bronzed limbs. We were stoked to see the intelligent Estonian (she's a big chess player and ran for European Parliament in 2004) make a comeback during Paris Fashion Week.
Why She's Major: Hard to believe that Poly, a CR favorite, is 32 because she's as gorgeous now as ever―and her walk is still one of the most recognizable in the biz. The Russian super, who came on the scene in the '00s, closed Mugler and Balmain this season, and joined the memorable cast at Versace.
Why She's Major: It's nearly impossible to create a highlight reel for O'Connor, who Karl Lagerfeld described as "one of the best models in the world." She's written two documentaries and many columns about fashion, in addition to founding the All Walks Beyond the Catwalk, an initiative aimed at challenging unrealistic body ideals. Last year she was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire for her services to fashion and charity.
Why She's Major: This androgynous Belgian beauty has been modeling for over 17 years, and expanded her repertoire to include acting, photography, and design―she's collaborated on handbags for Delvaux and tuxedos for Pallas.
Why She's Major: This regal South African icon launched her career after winning the Elite Model Look competition in 1990, then went on to become a Tom Ford-era Gucci girl before stepping away from fashion in 2000. She returned to the runway for Proenza Schouler's Spring/Summer 2014 show, and popped up in the Attico look book, and on the Atlein runway this season.
Why She's Major: An Italian supermodel through and through, Boscono was discovered at age 17, and quickly became a favorite of designers including Karl Lagerfeld and Riccardo Tisci. In 2005 alone, she walked over 70 fashion shows, and remains one of the hardest working models today.
Why She's Major: As the first plus size supermodel (who came up in the era of '90s waifs like Kate Moss), Emme paved the way for contemporary curvy stars including Ashley Graham and Candice Huffine. Her runway turn at Chromat was fitting given the brand's sustained focus on body positivity.
Why She's Major: The ultimate "cool girl" model, Bochert not only looks like a young Patti Smith―she jams with her, too. The New Jersey native is a talented musician, and a muse to designers including Marc Jacobs, Riccardo Tisci, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.
Why She's Major: Those slightly pointy, elfun ears still make us weak in the knees. Before Lepere even signed with an agency 17 years ago, she had already walked the runways for Belgian friends Dries Van Noten and Olivier Theyskens. She has dabbled in jewelry design in recent years, and still makes select runway appearances including Roland Mouret and Atlein this season.
Why She's Major: One of the great British beauties of her era, Chancellor is enjoying a well-deserved resurgence. The former Helmut Lang and Marc Jacobs muse was one of the highlights of Simone Rocha's Fall/Winter 2017 cast and campaign.


Fifteen months ago I wrote a piece about the internal workings of the coalition - one of many, as it turned out - expressing concern about the cosy group of backroom boys running the show.
They had it all worked out, I argued. The intricate web of Cabinet sub-committees which would steer the coalition through choppy waters were so effective because they were so formalised. The civil servants, not individual ministers, were now king. It was a new way of working. It was the new politics.
In times of great strife between warring Conservative and Liberal Democrat ministers, one particular sub-committee, the coalition committee, would be deployed. This is a formal body, co-chaired by the prime minister and his deputy. William Hague, Chris Huhne, George Osborne, Vince Cable, Michael Moore, Danny Alexander, Francis Maude and Oliver Letwin are its other members.
There have been one or two rocky moments in the first year-and-a-half (nearly) of life in government. The NHS reforms, the AV referendum, the tuition fees crisis, even last week's rebellion would surely have been thought important enough to warrant an assembly of this sort. No, actually. I've been told that this particularly sub-committee has only met twice.
One of these occasions was before the publication of the NHS' white paper, soon after the formation of the coalition. The NHS was not in meltdown over the proposals then, of course, so this was not a crisis meeting. I don't yet know what the other meeting related to.
It's eyebrow-raising that this important committee has not met more often.
Yet coalition experts explain that it's not all that surprising, really. This is a fairly senior group of politicians; it might even be called a selective Cabinet, rather than a mere sub-committee. So it is reserved only for real crises of cohesion. And nothing yet has genuinely threatened to bring the coalition down.
There's another possible reason, too, that the coalition's ministers have found themselves preferring not to rely on the formality of the Cabinet sub-committee system. It's thought that when it comes to political horse-trading and the internal dynamics of the government, having civil servants present scribbling notes in the corner can act as something of a dampener on the full to and fro. These negotiations are more suited to quiet chats here and there. It's the natural way of government, you see.
Fifteen months ago, Letwin and Alexander talked of the marvellous merits of having to "write everything down". Despite talk of a more 'businesslike' atmosphere in recent months, the initial focus on formality has never quite reasserted itself. Instead it's merely a convenient backstop, needed, if required, but currently stuffed to the back of the coalition wardrobe.
Until some unforeseen crisis requires it to be urgently dragged out for use, the coalition remains as cosy for the coalition backroom boys as ever.


Let's begin with the ending, which is what most people do when they think about the original Planet Of The Apes. For nearly two hours, 20th Century Fox's 1968 adaptation of Pierre Boulle's 1963 science fiction novel depicts a world gone topsy-turvy, where humans are inarticulate savages, and civilized society is governed by intellectual chimpanzees, officious orangutans, and militaristic gorillas. When a shipwrecked American astronaut named Taylor (played by Charlton Heston) goes in search of the secret of how this "planet of the apes" came to be, he discovers the crumbling vestiges of a familiar human civilization, including the remnants of the Statue Of Liberty. In an instant, he realizes where he's been all this time: on a far-future Earth, laid to waste by nuclear weapons. The movie stops right there, abruptly, with just the sound of waves lapping incessantly against the shore as the screen fades to black.
This is one of the greatest twist endings in cinema history: a sharp sock in the gut worthy of The Twilight Zone (whose creator Rod Serling worked on early versions of the Planet Of The Apes script). But it only works as well as it does because it comes at the end of an otherwise skillfully crafted genre picture, balancing thrilling action and mind-boggling weirdness with moments of real poetry and political provocation. The last scene punctuates the film, but does so in such a way that different viewers could read it as a question mark, an exclamation point, or an ellipsis.
As soon as the box office returns starting piling up, Fox decided it had to be an ellipsis. Then the studio was faced with a dilemma: How could they possibly improve on a near-perfect science fiction film?
Planet Of The Apes was directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, who'd previously helmed the political melodrama The Best Man, and would later win an Oscar for 1970's Patton. Screenwriter Michael Wilson—a former blacklistee who'd done uncredited work on the Oscar-winning 1957 adaptation of Boulle's novel The Bridge Over The River Kwai—was called in to do the final revision on Serling's earlier Apes scripts. The film boasted a classy cast that included Kim Hunter and Roddy McDowall as soft-hearted scientist chimps Zira and Cornelius, and Maurice Evans as gruff administrator Dr. Zaius. The daringly abstract Jerry Goldsmith score, the astonishingly expressive ape makeup, the exotic-looking simian communities, and Leon Shamroy's sun-dappled cinematography all framed the movie as sophisticated and serious: an A-picture all the way.
In the decades since its original release, Planet Of The Apes has been scrutinized for what it has to say on class, race, war, human nature, and even justice. (A mid-movie scene where Heston's Taylor is put on trial based on ape values feels like Wilson's not-so-subtle comment about his experiences with the House Un-American Activities Committee.) But even critics and newspaper columnists in 1968 knew what was up with this film. It's thematically rich—and intentionally so. Schaffner's team wanted people to walk away thinking about what makes us human, and about whether we treat others as we know we should.
They then wrapped the whole package up with an image so memorable and searingly ironic that, in retrospect, trying to proceed any further in the story seems foolhardy, and destined to failure. That Fox went on to produce four more thoughtfully made, unusually profitable Apes pictures is something of a minor Hollywood miracle.
Granted, only the original Planet Of The Apes is a masterpiece. The other four are flawed to varying degrees—in some cases significantly. But despite rotating creative teams and increasingly smaller budgets, each Apes movie between 1970 to 1973 at least attempts to meet the challenge of the original's depth and punch. The series never topped its first chapter, but the people who worked on it never stopped trying.
In need of a new human, director Ted Post and screenwriter Paul Dehn concocted a fairly nonsensical premise that sees the bland James Franciscus playing an astronaut named Brent, sent on the same trajectory as Taylor and his crew on a rescue mission. Leaving aside how anyone in the 20th century would know that Taylor might need rescuing in the year 3978—a question that challenges the whole point of the original mission, if viewers think about it too much—the movie's initial repeat of the "human shocked by talking apes" arc lacks imagination.
The powerhouse finish to Beneath came about due to a series of fortunate accidents. With Heston wanting out of the series, and a disgruntled Zanuck having been fired from Fox by his own father, Daryl, everyone involved with the film seemed eager to burn everything down and salt the ground. Meanwhile, a reduced budget meant that the sets and effects teams had to construct new environments out of matte paintings and leftover pieces from the Fox productions Doctor Dolittle and Hello, Dolly!, which actually gave the film more of a retro science fiction look—like the covers to old pulp magazines come to life.
Where Beneath suffered most from its lower price tag was in the ape makeup. The genius of the best ape masks was that the applications kept the eyes clear enough to allow actors like McDowall and Hunter to carry plenty of emotion there (and then to do the rest of their acting by over-articulating with their faces, just enough to move the foam rubber). For the second film, the good masks were mostly reserved for actors with speaking roles, while the backgrounds were filled out with more shabbily outfitted extras. When Fox slashed the budget yet again for 1971's Escape From The Planet Of The Apes, one of the solutions to the mask problem was to put only three apes in the film—and to kill one off in the first reel.
The reduced ape cast was also necessitated by a new and ultimately fruitful narrative direction. Having blown up the world of the late 3900s, producer Jacobs, screenwriter Dehn, and director Don Taylor imagined what would happen if some of the chimpanzees commandeered one of the spaceships that had crash-landed on their Earth, and traveled back through time to the early 1970s. (Again, don't dwell on the wonky science.) Hunter and McDowall returned—the latter having sat out Beneath due to other commitments—to play Zira and Cornelius, who along with their doomed colleague Dr. Milo (Sal Mineo) arrive in Los Angeles in 1973, where they quickly become the subject of intense public fascination and concern.
A bright and entertaining movie that takes a dark turn, Escape From The Planet Of The Apes starts out as a gentle spoof of contemporary culture, as Zira and Cornelius become fashionable celebrities prized for their opinions on everything from art to war to feminism. But while the chimps are becoming stars, some people in the government question where they came from, and what happened to make them interplanetary orphans. With the help of booze and drugs, a presidential advisor coaxes Zira into spilling the whole story, which leads him to worry that the baby she's carrying will eventually instigate an ape uprising against humanity.
It's possible to see the first two Planet Of The Apes as one story, and the next three as another. The original and Beneath are about the long-overdue end of the Earth, after centuries of conflict and self-destruction. Escape and its two sequels tell how the downfall began, while also offering up glimmers of hope that Zira and Cornelius' son, Caesar, can change the timeline and forge some kind of peace between humans and apes.
If the name "Caesar" makes fans of the new Planet Of The Apes movies perk up, well, that's the point. The recent films—Rise, Dawn, and War—are loose analogs to Escape, Conquest, and Battle, the last three of the '70s series. Both trilogies are about a kind of ape messiah named Caesar, born in humble circumstances and thrust into the role of a leader. He appears first at the very end of Escape, after the government guns his parents down. Under the protection of a kindly circus owner named Armando (Ricardo Montalbán), he learns how to read and write and articulate his thoughts, just as his mother and father would've wanted. While Caesar's getting an education, human society begins its collapse.
Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes tells the story of the big shift from human to ape, in what's arguably the boldest film of the series. Conquest lacks the production value or complex storytelling of the original (blame more budget cuts, coupled with returning screenwriter Dehn's simpler-is-better ethos). But director J. Lee Thompson brought more pure cinematic artistry to the franchise than anyone other than Schaffner, keeping dialogue to a minimum in order to draw audiences into the world of the still-non-speaking apes. Making good use of the recently constructed Century City—a former Fox backlot repurposed as ultra-modernist office buildings and shops—Thompson thrust viewers into a dystopian near-future, where apes have been trained to work as humanity's servants.
When a mature Caesar (played by McDowall) arrives, he covertly begins organizing his fellow simians, working with them to gather an arsenal. Once the government realizes who this revolutionary chimp really is, they scramble to kill him before he can set in motion the apocalyptic future Zira once warned them about. What follows are large-scale scenes of violent clashes in the street, staged and shot by Thompson and his crew to resemble the race riots and antiwar protests that Americans were getting used to seeing on the nightly news. The movie persistently pushes buttons, with shocking images of slave auctions and open revolt that test where our sympathies should lie.
The result is the bloodiest of the Apes films, and one of the most despairing. The theatrical release included a softer ending—suggesting the now-ascendant apes would try to exhibit compassion toward the surviving humans—but the true spirit of the film is in its original, now-restored conclusion, where former slaves vow to humiliate and subjugate their former masters. That vision carries over into 1973's Battle For The Planet Of The Apes.
Thompson became the first director to return in the series, but due to health issues, Dehn was reduced to an advisory role on Battle, turning screenwriting duties over to the husband-wife team of John William Corrington and Joyce Hooper Corrington. The finale is the worst of the five—though it has enough good scenes to remain watchable. The biggest problems are twofold: The action largely comes across as a repeat of things the franchise had done better before, and due to Dehn's long-standing goal to bring the story full circle, Battle shoehorns in plot points and villains that are fairly ridiculous.
Set several years after Conquest, Battle depicts the new reality under Caesar's rule, where some humans work for apes while others—already in the early stages of a mutation due to a nuclear war that occurred after the events of the previous film—nest in "the Forbidden City," making plans for a revolt of their own. Meanwhile, Caesar and his simpatico orangutan assistant Virgil (Paul Williams) deal with dissension in their own ranks, as the hawkish gorilla Aldo (Claude Akins) proves willing to violate the "ape shall not kill ape" law if it means ending the pretense that simians and humans can coexist.
The Aldo/Caesar split is far more compelling than the war with silly-looking mutants—though it's the latter that takes up the bulk of Battle's running time. What Apes fans remember most about the last movie is its framing device, which has John Huston as the "Lawgiver," previously seen in the first two films as a statue, representing the apes' most revered ancestor. Speaking to an assemblage of young apes and human children in the year 2670—nearly 700 years after the events of Battle and 1,300 years before Planet/Beneath—the Lawgiver presents the story of Caesar as one with a happy ending. But then in the movie's final image, a statue of Caesar sheds an ambiguous tear. Is his spirit happy that he changed the timeline and brought peace? Or does he know that the Earth remains doomed?
The legacy of Planet Of The Apes goes beyond what actually happens in the first five films. The franchise continued in two short-lived TV series—one live-action, one animated—and then found belated success as a merchandising phenomenon. In the mid-'70s, Fox programmed "Go Ape!" marathons around the country during dead spots on the theatrical calendar, and the popularity of those revivals (coupled with frequent TV reruns of the movies) convinced toy companies to crank out action figures, play-sets, model kits, board games, Halloween costumes, lunch boxes, and more.
To Hollywood, and to smart genre-minded filmmakers, the popularity of Apes paved the way for a lot of what would become the modern blockbuster—from the toys to the sequels. (The big difference: These days studios tend to pony up more money for each successive film in a series.) In the process, some of the sociopolitical nuances of the original series have been lost to non-fans, who only know about the parts that penetrated popular culture: the ape costumes, the twist ending, and Heston over-emoting.
So let's end with the beginning—which is Planet Of The Apes at its best. Let's go back to Taylor, a man so cocky that he smokes a cigar in an airtight space capsule, and then mocks his fellow astronauts' sentimentality when they realize they're stranded thousands of years in their own future. He warns them, "There's only one reality left: We're here and it's now." No matter who's rising, who's escaping, or who's battling, this existential certitude remains the Apes movies' most potent message. If nothing else, it reemerges every time a new group of filmmakers looks at the money to be made on another picture and wonders what it should say.
We're here. It's now. What's next?

Guillermo Del Toro: 'I saw real corpses when I was growing up in Mexico'
In his new film Nightmare Alley, the Oscar-winning director abandons fantasy for gritty noir – but, as he knows from his childhood, humanity has its own share of monsters
Guillermo Del Toro used to describe Hollywood as "the Land of the Slow No". Here was a place where a director could die waiting for a project to be greenlit. "The natural state of a movie is to be unmade," he says over Zoom from his home in Los Angeles. "I have about 20 scripts that I lug around that no one wants to make and that's fine: it's the nature of the business. It's a miracle when anything at all gets made."
Nevertheless, Del Toro has established himself as this century's leading fantasy film-maker, more inventive than latter-day Tim Burton and less bombastic than Peter Jackson (with whom he co-wrote the Hobbit trilogy). From the haunting adult fairytale Pan's Labyrinth and the voluptuously garish Hellboy romps to his beauty-and-the-fish love story The Shape of Water, which won four Oscars, he is the master of the glutinous phantasmagoria.

Q: Creating JUnit Test for JMS to test if MessageListener onMessage() method was called after jms.convertAndSend() I am trying to create a Unit test for onMessage() method of a MessageListener component class. This onMessage() method was annotated with @JmsListener
The JUnit Test onMessageShouldReceiveMessageOnJMSSend() I created should pass if Message argument of onMessage(Message message) from javax.jms.Message is being received. In other words, when message is not null and when onMessage() is called.
MessageListener.java

        if (message instanceof TextMessage) {
            try {
                String xmlMessage = ((TextMessage) message).getText();
                messageService.transformMessageToOldSchema(xmlMessage);

        } else {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Message Error");
        }

    }
}

When I run the test method onMessageShouldReceiveMessageOnJMSSend(), it says

-> at MessageListenerTest.onMessageShouldReceiveMessageOnJMSSend(MessageListenerTest.java:42)
Actually, there were zero interactions with this mock.

From the message on console, it doesn't look like onMessage() is being invoked from MessageListener class after I send a message with jmsTemplate.convertAndSend()
The console message points to this line : verify(messageListener, times(1)).onMessage(msg);
In my application.properties on both src/main/resources and src/test/resources, I have the following
application.properties
spring.activemq.broker-url=tcp://localhost:61616
spring.activemq.user=admin
spring.activemq.password=admin

I can also see, activemq is running and active.
I'd appreciate any comments.
Thank you.

A: *

*You are doing the verification too quickly; you need to somehow wait until the message has been received (e.g. by injecting a mock MessageTransformService that counts down a latch, and wait for it in your test).

*This will never work...
 Message msg = mock(Message.class);
 verify(messageListener, times(1)).onMessage(msg);

The listener will never receive that mock message, use onMessage(any()) instead (or use an ArgumentCaptor to capture the actual message received, so you can test its properties.

For the last several years, Shannon has been taking Ballet through Pamela Trokanski Dance Workshop. Every year, at the end of May or beginning of June, they put on a Student Concert where each class performs. Photography is allowed, under one strict condition: NO FLASH.
This is a particularly difficult assignment for me. Consider the situation: Low light, fast-moving subjects, and no flash. This is the fourth time on this assignment, and I have to admit that I'm getting better. This year was probably the best ballet photos I've taken.
I can attribute some of my success to the valuable advice I receive from a wonderful podcast called Shutters Inc., particularly this episode where they respond to a letter I wrote asking for advice on how to take live stage photos. Basically, they said I need more light, so try getting closer, and using a faster lens. That means a lens with a lower f-stop value.
Speaking of post-processing, I explored a new computer program for doing so. Photoshop is great for getting one photo JUST RIGHT, but I took 469 photos for this project, and there will be more than a couple that I'm interested in fixing up. I needed a better "workflow". Aperture is now the program for me. It only took me a few hours to go through all the photos, rate them all from one star to five, and edit them all to the point that I could create a slideshow and output some low-resolution versions for my web site. Pretty slick.
I'll probably still use Photoshop now and then when I need some particularly heavy-duty Photoshop Magic to fix up a shot, and Aperture makes it easy to do just that.
I like the photo a lot...great depth. I wish I could convince you to come take amazing photos of one of the Beach Volleyball tournaments. Getting high-quality photos for the website I am redesigning is a goal of mine.
Also, I would love to hear more from you about Aperture. It seems like an interesting program, though I thought that the first version was not well-received. Maybe I can demo it next time I'm in your neck of the woods.
A really inspiring photo! Great shot! I had a great time reading your article, a very nice read indeed. As a frustrated ballet dancer, I had a flashback, remembering the days I was determined to attend a ballet class, those days were terribly missed! Thanks making me had those memories once again.


'PHILOSOPHERS say the best thing about celebrities is that their mis behavior distracts us from more pressing matters," writes Ken Barnes.
Well, in the middle of last year's holidays, I met a "celebrity" who isn't known for misbehavior. This gorgeous woman managed to have two huge public romances with major American male stars – Tom Cruise and Matthew McConaughey – without making too many waves. And when she and they said bye-bye, well, the breakups also happened with a maximum of dignity and no horrid true confessions. We tabloid fans never knew much about what these guys and Penelope Cruz felt. And she refuses to talk about her former lovers.
So who is this paragon of virtue, high ambition and professional intent? Penelope glided into the nearly deserted St. Regis Hotel dining room on a December afternoon, and we sat down to chat about her performance in "Volver" – another of those Pedro Almodóvar classics that has her up for Oscar consideration.
IN SPITE of her refusal to discuss ro mantic liaisons, Ms. Cruz is not guarded. She is upfront and appealingly human, but I was expecting a kind of Sophia Loren-Anna Magnani character because, especially in "Volver," this is how she comes off. In this film, she is a harried woman handling a crisis. Manslaughter, molestation, secret burials, family members returning from the great beyond, and a happy ending to boot. It is Almodóvar at the peak of his form and Ms. Cruz assaying his obsession with the women of his native Spain.
I EMBRACED the women in this film, and Penelope was enthusiastic: "You want these characters to be happy. Pedro never judges his women! They deserve him. He is brilliant, one of the funniest people in the world and part of my family. He knows me so well. Better than I know myself.
Is she a victim of the international paparazzi? "I have been followed in my own country since I was 17. It's the same everywhere. You learn to deal with it. This morning I was followed in Manhattan but said to myself, I'm still meeting my mother for dinner, and do what I am going to do.
THE OSCAR? "Oh, don't even mention that!" she laughs. "My hope someday is to do a musical, like Nicole Kidman in 'Moulin Rouge!' She was so great. I could use all my dancing." Maybe Penelope will dance up to the stage on Oscar night.

"In the internet bubble of the late 90s, it was common wisdom that to grow the fastest, you had to raise more money and spend more money on marketing than anyone else. This strategy worked for a few, such as Yahoo!, eBay and Amazon. But most companies from that period are in the internet graveyard after burning through hundreds of millions.
In today's Silicon Valley, spending money to acquire users or customers is usually seen as a last resort instead of a go-to option. To grow fastest and biggest, top companies today instead focus on building feature after feature that helps attract new users or more quickly convert them into active users. This is frequently called "growth hacking". It relies on a particular combination of creative engineering and data analysis to find, test, build and optimise the right features that help a product grow. Many companies have started to realise that they can't just build a great product and expect growth to happen, nor can they afford to pay for it, but that they have to engineer it.
Companies such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Dropbox and Instagram have all reached over 100 mil-lion active users (Facebook over a billion), and with little to zero "traditional" paid advertising. Rather than purchasing banner ads, these companies have built features that encourage users to share the products virally with their friends and colleagues. Rather than running expensive TV commercials, they create viral videos that spread rapidly on YouTube and Twitter. Rather than mailing CDs to every potential customer, companies leverage search-engine optimisation to make sure the right users land on their pages and convert to active users when searching from Google. Each of the companies listed has a dedicated team focused on building and running these programmes. In contrast to a traditional marketing team with managers, analysts and agency relationships, these growth teams include engineers, designers, product managers and data scientists. Growth teams constantly think about how to get the users of their products to market the products for them, or in other words, to make them more viral. They spend a lot of time learning how products spread through Facebook, Twitter, email, SMS and more, and then build features to optimise that process. To keep producing these results, it takes a deep technical understanding of how those systems work and how to measure the effectiveness of the platform. Growth teams try to determine the optimal number of friends for someone to send a Facebook request to; at what time of day is best to tweet; or how to ensure an email reaches the inbox, and not the junk folder.
In the early days of a company, finding the path towards sustainable growth is crucial. LinkedIn started with Reid Hoffman inviting 1,000 trusted contacts to join. Dropbox grew fastest when it optimised a model where users received extra storage space when a friend signed up.
One of the most coveted hires for many startups now is someone who understands growth, often called a "growth hacker". Many startups and internet companies are hir-ing these over a traditional VP of marketing. I believe these trends will spread from consumer internet companies back to most marketing departments and agencies. Marketing teams will include engineers and designers, and talk as much about "road maps" and features as about ads and budget. And we'll see more people reaching 100 mil-lion users without spending a lot.

Infographic: Are Humans Creating The End Of The World?
Posted by by Brian Wallace July 7, 2018
Infographic: Telehealth Vs Telemedicine
With the growth of artificial intelligence, superbugs, and worsening climate change, one can't help but wonder what's the greatest threat to humanity?
Robot Revolution
The manufacturing industry has been losing jobs to robots for decades now, but artificial intelligence has the potential to threaten more than just human physical labor. The Associated Press publishes stories written by A.I. and IBM's Watson helps treat cancer patients.
These technologies threaten our jobs, and have the potential to increase economic disparity on a major scale, but that's not the only threat A.I. might pose.
More than ever before, nations are turning to robots and A.I. application in the military. With autonomous drones and vehicles that can create their own fuel from plants, machines are taking over human warfare as well as our jobs. Perhaps the robot revolution isn't as much fiction as we thought.
Unkillable Superbugs
When your doctor warns you to be sure finish your entire course of antibiotics, they're trying to prevent the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria. These "superbugs" develop when bacteria is exposed to antibiotics and, whether by natural selection or mutation, doesn't die.
Over time and multiple exposures the bacteria can grow stronger and more resistant to antibiotics, creating superbugs. In the United States, 2 million people are infected by antibiotic-resistant bacteria every year and 23,000 die as a result.
The situation is made worse by overuse of antibiotics when they're not needed. In fact, nearly 1/3rd of the antibiotic prescriptions made in the United State are unnecessary – often the patient doesn't even have a bacterial infection.
In 1918, a pandemic flu known as the "Spanish Flu" killed more than 50 million people worldwide. Although pregnant women, infants, and the elderly are usually most vulnerable to the flu, this outbreak killed healthy young adults at a similar rate, as they hadn't developed any immunity to the new strain.
Currently, the Asian Avian Flu is most concerning. Although this flu infects human only rarely, and usually after contact with an infected animal, it has a 60% mortality rate. If this flu begins to spread among human populations, the results could be catastrophic.
In the past 136 years, 17 of the 18 warmest years on record have been since 2001. CO2 levels are higher than ever and Arctic sea ice is melting, leading sea levels to rise. Global sea levels rose 1.7 to 3.1 millimeter each year for the past 100 years.
That might not seem like much, but for the prior 2000 years, sea levels rose 0.3 millimeters or less each year. Climate change isn't only bad for the planet, for every 1 inch of sea level rise, we lose up to 8 ft of shoreline.
Think of all the people living in low-lying coastal areas around the world. By 2060, 1.4 billion people could be displaced by rising sea levels. That's more than 1 in every 10 people. Read this infographic to learn more about what threatens humanity:

These resources are provided to all of our Ph.D. students and are there to help you find answers, support, and contacts.
CMU:
***NEW RESOURCE***
The SCS Ph.D. Dean's Advisory Committee has recently put together a "Remote Wellness Resources for SCS Ph.D. Students" document for up to date resources, links and information to assist with remote work and the challenges it presents: https://scs-phd-deans-committee.github.io/wellness-writeup.html. This document includes resources for general wellness, physical wellness, mental wellness, funding and ergonomic support and social support.
A fundamental focus of the Task Force on the CMU Experience has been on the expansion of services and prevention efforts that attend to the holistic well-being of every student. https://www.cmu.edu/cmuexp-taskforce/wellness/index.html
The College Liaison for the School of Computer Science is Ms. Angela (Angie) Lusk. She is the Student Affairs point of contact for all graduate students in the College and can be a sounding board and connector for you in identifying support resources and strategies for the upcoming year. Her contact info is alusk@andrew.cmu.edu or 412-268-7117.
The health, safety, and well-being of our graduate students is the foundation of student life. Success in professional activities, academics and research, as well as personal activities comes from this foundation. https://www.cmu.edu/graduate/current-grad-students/health-and-wellness/index.html
The Counceling and Psychological Services (CaPS) provides a safe, confidential environment for students to talk about personal and academic concerns. They also provide consultation services for faculty, staff, and family members who are concerned about a student or have questions. https://www.cmu.edu/counseling/
5 Things You Should Know About CaPS
1. All students currently enrolled at the Pittsburgh campus are eligible for services at CaPS at no additional cost to them.
2. All services are confidential.
3. CaPS is one of many support resources on campus available to help CMU students with a range of struggles. We can help you identify what resources are the best fit for your needs.
4. You are not alone! CaPS sees about 15% of the student population each year. These are undergraduate and graduate students who at some point throughout the year decided to seek help with their struggles.
5. Asking for help is a sign of psychological strength, not weakness. At some point in life, most of us will experience some psychological hardship that could benefit from professional support. Asking for help when needed can result in a faster and more long-lasting recovery.
· If at any point a student feels that they need counseling or other support, they are encouraged to call Counseling and Psychological Services, or CaPS, at 412-268-2922 at any time for help

German-Americans (Deutschamerikaner) can be described as citizens of the United States with German ancestry, or people from Germany who have since become naturalized US citizens. Such people have a duel identity, with traditions steeped heavily in Germanic language and culture.
The achievements and contributions of German-Americans have had a profound effect on making the United States the country it is today. Famous for their practical skills, thrift, hard work, interest in the arts, and enjoyment of good living they have left their mark indelibly on American culture and life.

Although U.S. Census data indicates American ancestry is most commonly self-reported in the Deep South, the Upland South, and Appalachia, the vast majority of Americans and expatriates do not equate their nationality with ancestry, race or ethnicity, but with citizenship and allegiance.
Historically, Chicago has had an ethnic German population. As of the 2000 U.S. Census, 15.8% of people in the Chicago area had German ancestry, and those of German ancestry were the largest ethnic group in 80% of Chicagos suburbs.
The groups included Swiss Mennonites, Baptist Dunkers, Schwenkfelders, Moravians, Amish, and Waldensians; most German immigrants belonged to the main Lutheran and Reformed churches. The central colonies received the greatest part of this immigration, especially Pennsylvania.
Prussia Soon the whole realm was called Prussia. However, at first, Prussia was an economically backward area. It only rose to greatness under Frederick II The Great, who became king in 1740. Frederick had a very large army and he was a capable general, which allowed him to fight successful wars.
A person born of a parent with German citizenship at the time of the childs birth is a German citizen. Those born after 1 January 1975 are Germans if the mother or father is a German citizen. Those born before 1 January 1975 could normally only claim German citizenship from the father, not from the mother.
The decorated Christmas tree and the gift-giving figure of Santa Claus — hallmarks of Christmas in America — arrived with German families and soon spread to other American homes. A few Germans were among the first European immigrants to arrive in the New World, joining the English at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1608.
The most recent United States Census officially recognized five racial categories (White or European American; Black or African American; Asian American; American Indian/Alaska Native; and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) as well as people of two or more races.
German American is the most common ethnic group in over half the states. The largest number of Germans are found in the Midwest, West, and Pennsylvania. Irish-American is the second-largest ethnic group found in the United States, at 30.5 million people.
North Side Historically, the bulk of Chicagos Germans lived in the North Side with the center of the German population being Lakeview. In German the North Side was called the Nord Seite. There were smaller numbers in the South Side that worked mainly in meatpacking.
Irish. From a few hundred residents in the 1830s, Chicago emerged as the fourth largest Irish city in America by 1860. Unlike their counterparts in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, however, Chicagos Irish grew up with their city and exerted influence out of proportion to their numbers.
There were many reasons for the desire of the Palatines to emigrate to the New World: oppressive taxation, religious bickering, hunger for more and better land, the advertising of the English colonies in America and the favourable attitude of the British government toward settlement in the North American colonies.
German government propaganda used its appeal to nationalism when making references to Germany and the state. Because of the use of Vaterland in Nazi-German war propaganda, the term Fatherland in English has become associated with domestic British and American anti-Nazi propaganda during World War II.
Germania Before it was called Germany, it was called Germania. In the years A.D. 900 – 1806, Germany was part of the Holy Roman Empire. From 1949 to 1990, Germany was made up of two countries called the Federal Republic of Germany (inf. West Germany) and the German Democratic Republic (inf.
