Volunteer Opportunities at Ely Museum
Alison Powell
Join Ely Museum at our volunteer recruitment day on Saturday 28th March, from 11:30am – 3pm at the Old Dispensary on St Marys Street to learn more about the volunteer roles on offer and see how you can get involved as we create an exciting new museum in Ely.
We are particularly keen to recruit more event volunteers to help us at our range of activities and events this spring & summer. Events will take place in Ely and in villages throughout East Cambridgeshire.
Volunteering at Ely Museum is also a great way to be involved in our exciting National Lottery Heritage Fund supported project, where you'll learn new skills, meet new people and help us shape the future of Ely Museum.
In January 2019, Ely Museum was delighted to announce that we had been awarded a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant of £1.66 million for the Unlocking the Potential of the Old Gaol: Ely Museum Redevelopment Project. Thanks to money raised by National Lottery players, the project will rejuvenate Ely Museum and make it a fantastic destination for local people and visitors to the area.
Alongside the National Lottery Heritage Fund grant, the museum has received support from a number of local and national trusts and foundations, East Cambridgeshire District Council, City of Ely Council, and has been delighted by the donations and enthusiasm of local people.
Now Ely Museum's ambitious £2.2 million project is in full swing and the building work is taking place! Without a museum for people to visit, we're bringing our activities, events and collections out to visit them. We need your help and enthusiasm to make it happen!
Whilst we're particularly keen to welcome new event volunteers, there are also a variety of other roles on offer, so please pop in on Saturday 28th March to find out more about our award-winning volunteer team.
Museum Community Engagement Officer, Emily Allen said; "Our brilliant team of volunteers have been instrumental in our project so far! From helping us to pack up our collection, educate and enthral hundreds of children and bring fun, hands-on activities to many hundreds more – now is a great time to get involved at the museum. Do pop along to our event on Saturday 28th March to find out more!"

How do I start a process thread in Linux?
I'm a bit lost on threads.
I'd like to start an app in Linux, release it, let it run in the background, then reconnect to it and read its output.
The main app would work as a frontend to the Linux app.
RE: How do I start a process thread in Linux?
The simplest way to achieve what you want could be QProcess class. This class works for every supported operating system and uses whatever underlying system needs. Its main advantage is its portability.
For pure threading, you should consider Qt threading classes wich provide system independant threading abstrction.
Linux internally manages kernel threading in two flavours: old style Linux Threads and newer NPTL (Native Posix Threads Library). You can find some HOWTO in kernel documentation.
You can also use pthreads library if you need user space only threads.
Note: each kind of threads has its own programming style. Qt classes offer an abstract way for dealing with processes and threads.
Never patch not working code. Rewrite it !
Never patch badly designed classes. Recreate them cleanly.
Some example would be great, if possible.
A good start is examining sample code in QProcess class documentation and the process sample in the examples directory from your Qt distribution.
The main problem when quitting ui and reconnecting later is finding processid for app you want to control.
You might save the processid somewhere and check if such an id is active, if it is the good executable and connect to it.
With linux, you can find many informations on processes in /proc filesystem.
Doesn't the external process get killed if the parent process (Qt app) ends?
And how to reconnect to stdin/stdout of an already running process? It isn't that easy if this "linux app" doesn't support its own IPC handling.
Live and let live - use the search engine.
"Use the docs Luke, use the docs!"
That's the main issue for most classic utilities. One could cheat and poke into /proc, but we would need different methods for 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6 kernels. Not so clean too.
Well, maybe the gui launcher should not quit, but hide, and show when trying a new launch. Sounds easier to implement and does not lead to a gas factory.
I'v been experimenting with the Qthread example.
QThread object destroyed while thread is still running.
Forgot to declare the thread in mydialog2b.h.
Can I get a signal when a thread has reach its end?
Will the thread die at termination?
You could have a llop testing the thread for finished() and send a signal on finished() returning TRUE.
Won't a loop freeze the qt app?
No if your loop calls qApp->processEvents().
But by loop, I though of some timer calling a checking slot on timeout. Timers are very handy for subprocess monitoring.
If it really is a child process, you should get a SIGCHLD posix signal when the child process ends (not to be confused with Qt signals of course).
There is a way to do the thing with quitting the application and then reconnecting - you need another app, that will be a controller of theese child processes. You don't fork theese from your "monitor" app, but from the controller one.... It has to run during the life of all children and it has to provide a way to communicate with theese processes (like a Unix domain socket, messages or shared memory), then you can send commands to such controller to spawn a child, kill it, monitor it and so on.
Experimenting with QCustomEvent and postEvent with no success.
You have to write an application that will wait for commands and then execute them. You can use sockets with datagrms for the "command line". Commands you have to implement are: spawn child, kill child, send data to child, get data from child. Based on these commands you can implement more complicated actions.
The object is to have a daemon that is active during the life of the monitored process. This way you can always "connect" to it and send it commands. I think this is the only "proper" way to achieve such result, because using proc is not the best way (too much system dependant).
Oh... I just noticed that it is the KDE forum You can also use the DCOP interface and forget the controller app.


Many nonprofit organizations would like to make upgrades to their properties as well as reduce their cost of operations but have trouble funding the project as they are not eligible for the same tax credit as for profit organizations. Founded in 2011 on the belief that all nonprofits and tax exempt organizations should have access to solar power, Collective Sun offers a unique opportunity for nonprofits to fund their solar projects. PurePoint Energy agrees with this principle and is excited to provide this unique financing option to nonprofit organizations in Connecticut. The best part is that it can reduce solar investment by 15%!
Collective Sun utilizes the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit and provides a 15% discount to the project cost. Financing can be provided with C-PACE via a 20 year loan. Collective Sun initially maintains ownership of the system to use the tax benefits. The nonprofit sees utility bill savings immediately and takes full ownership of the system at no additional cost in just 6 years.
Once you have chosen solar experts PurePoint Energy as your solar installer, we take care of reviewing and submitting the requirements to close the project. Collective Sun will review all submitted documents and complete a 3rd party engineering review as well as a final review of the nonprofit. Collective Sun then secures a position in the tax investment schedule. Once that is complete, PurePoint Energy receives a notice to proceed (NTP) to begin construction. At the completion of installation, PPE will coordinate with the local utility to energize the system.
How can it be funded?
To learn more about how Collective Sun can assist in funding your solar installation for your nonprofit organization, please call PurePoint Energy at (203) 642-4105.

The Calgary zone once again leads the province in active COVID-19 cases after a surge of new infections in recent days.
Alberta recorded another 114 novel coronavirus cases on Wednesday, bringing the provincial tally of active cases to 1,403. Of those, 632 are linked to the Calgary zone and 538 to the Edmonton zone, making up 45 per cent and 38 per cent of active cases, respectively.
There were only 356 active cases in the Calgary zone last Monday meaning it nearly doubled in just over a week.

Blocked off portion of Memorial Drive reopens to vehicle traffic on weekdays

Lane closures along Memorial Drive that began in March to help pedestrians and cyclists maintain distance from one another have come to an end during weekdays, but the measure will continue on weekends for the foreseeable future, according to the city.
As of Tuesday, vehicles were allowed back on the previously closed stretch of Memorial Drive. Data collected by the city has shown that more cyclists and pedestrians have taken advantage of the Memorial Drive road closure on weekends.
Stage West delays start of season
Calgary dinner theatre Stage West is delaying the start of its 2020-21 season due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Shows at the dinner theatre usually begin in the fall, but "the uncertainty brought on by the spread of COVID-19, the restrictions in place by Alberta Health Services and because the continued safety of our customers, cast and staff is our top priority we feel it's prudent to take a more cautious approach in our re-opening," Stage West said in an email Wednesday.
Stage West had said in June, when Alberta moved into Stage 2 of its relaunch, that it had hoped to have performances by the end of summer.
While theatres were permitted to reopen at Stage 2 of the province's relaunch, buffet service is still not allowed. Stage West traditionally offered buffet service with its theatre shows.
"Our hope is that COVID-19 case numbers will drop to a level that allows Alberta Health Services to allow us to reopen in an environment where we are laughing or singing and eating together again," Stage West said in the email.
Earlier this week, Jubilations Dinner Theatre announced it would reopen on Sept. 12 . Unlike Stage West, however, Jubilations typically offered served meals instead of buffet service. Jubilations also will only be airing pre-recorded music as Alberta Health told Jubilations that performers were not allowed to sing live.

More than 30 cases of COVID-19 in Quebec City have now been connected to a local bar, public health authorities say.
On Tuesday, Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé said 12 more cases have been linked to Bar Kirouac, bringing the total to 31.
Dubé also suggested that staff and patrons could face fines.
The bar held a karaoke night on Aug. 23.

The Alberta government says it will distribute most of the federal government's $262.84 million to school boards to be spent on a number of safety measures.
The province will receive the money from Ottawa as part of a new Safe Return to Class Fund announced last week by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Education Minister Adriana LaGrange said $250 million will be distributed on a per student model to be spent on:
Adapting learning spaces and personal protective equipment
Cleaning and safety considerations for schools and buses
Supports for special needs students
Online learning and teacher training
Also, $12 million from the federal funding will go to school authorities seeing a large influx in enrolment due to increased demand for online/distance learning programs.
Alberta's chief medical officer of health Dr. Dina Hinshaw also provided more details on the province's decision to reopen schools.
COVID-19 back-to-school drama has been kryptonite for hero top doctors in B.C. and Alberta

Alberta's and British Columbia's top doctors, both women, have been hailed as heroes throughout the pandemic, one actually teaming up with a Marvel comic superhero, and the other showing up on a giant poster in a hospital emergency room.
But the high drama of students returning to classrooms during a resurgence in COVID-19 cases has been kryptonite for B.C.'s Dr. Bonnie Henry and Alberta's Dr. Deena Hinshaw.
Students in Alberta are returning to class this week. On the other side of the Rockies, students in B.C. return next week. Both provincial governments have, in the lead-up to the return, attempted to prepare parents and teachers.
Hinshaw, Alberta's chief medical officer of health, and Henry, B.C.'s chief medical officer of health, both found themselves under fire from anxious and angry parents and teachers.

What the 1918 flu can tell us about when life might return to 'normal'

In 1918, a novel strand of influenza killed more people than the 14th century's Black Plague.
At least 50 million people died worldwide because of the H1N1 influenza outbreak. The dead were buried in mass graves. In Philadelphia, one of the hardest-hit cities in the country, priests collected bodies with horse-drawn carriages.
Those who contracted the virus developed an immunity to the novel strand of influenza, and life returned to normal by the early 1920s, according to historians and medical experts. Reports at the time suggest that the virus became less lethal as the pandemic carried on in waves.
But the strand of the flu did not just disappear. The influenza virus continuously mutated, passing through humans, pigs and other mammals. The pandemic-level virus morphed into just another seasonal flu. Descendants of the 1918 H1N1 virus actually make up the influenza viruses we're fighting today.
How a COVID-19 vaccine front-runner was held back by China's spat with Canada

One of the world's fastest-moving efforts to develop a COVID-19 vaccine is falling behind rivals, its advance appearing to be stymied by political tensions between China and Canada and concerns its shot may not work as well as others.
CanSino Biologics Inc., the Chinese company which in March started the world's first human tests on an experimental coronavirus shot, has yet to kick off critical final-stage trials on the vaccine it developed with the Chinese military. Meanwhile, rivals like U.S.-based Moderna Inc. and Britain's AstraZeneca Plc as well as China's Sinovac Biotech Inc. and Sinopharm are well into this last phase of testing, administering their vaccines on thousands of people to find out if they work.
With its Phase III trials yet to begin, CanSino hasn't had the opportunity to assuage concerns from earlier-stage data, which showed the immune response generated by its shot varied greatly among participants. Its setbacks offer a look at both the scientific and political incertitudes companies are battling as they race to produce a vaccine against the virus that has already killed more than 850,000 people worldwide.
COVID-19 in schools inevitable, reducing class sizes unrealistic: Kenney

COVID-19 cases disrupted the reopening of two Alberta schools on Tuesday, but Premier Jason Kenney said his government has accepted that such infections are inevitable and don't warrant closing down all classrooms.
"We've always said that there will be infections in the schools. . . . That's why we've put in place a number of protocols based on the scientific advice of our chief medical officer of health in consultation with superintendents and school boards," he said.
"We believe it's a strong plan and we'll make future adjustments as necessary. We're all learning through this as we go."
Facing unprecedented protocols, public school students head back to class

Excited, anxious and uncertain, thousands of Calgary public school students headed back to class Tuesday on a first day of school unlike any other.
Donning masks on buses, in classrooms and hallways, physically-distancing from teachers and classmates, students and their parents braved mixed emotions as the Calgary Board of Education welcomed them amid the looming risk of COVID-19.
"They're very excited to go, and I'm feeling pretty good about it. It's really good for them to go back," said Jennifer Hogan, after dropping off her two kids in Grades 3 and 5 at Westgate School early Tuesday morning.
But Erin Thomas, after dropping off her daughter, added "I'm a little bit worried, okay very worried, I have to admit.
"At the same time though, I really want her to get that socialization back, to be with her peers, to learn from a teacher in a face-to-face format."
'It's going to be difficult on everyone': COVID-19 cases in schools could mean disruptions if students sent home

As classes in Alberta resume amid the COVID-19 pandemic, local school districts say they are prepared to pivot to remote learning options should an outbreak occur or multiple students need to self-isolate.
Thousands of Calgary public school students returned to class Tuesday, with new protocols surrounding masks, physical distancing and hygiene in place to help limit the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Students in the Calgary Catholic School District will start classes Wednesday with similar guidelines in place.
But uncertainty still looms, as COVID-19 cases or outbreaks could cause disruptions to in-person classes.
More oilsands workers hit by COVID-19, two more deaths in Alberta

Another two Albertans have died from COVID-19 over the past 24 hours while workers from two oilsands camps have been infected by the virus.
The two deaths involved a man in his 80s in the Edmonton area who wasn't in a long-term care facility and a woman in her 90s at the Heimstaed Seniors Lodge in La Crete in the North Zone.
Those two deaths bring the total number of COVID-19 fatalities reported in Alberta since last winter to 241.

The two-cars collided on the A37 in Farrington Gurney.
A woman has died after suffering serious head injuries during a two-car collision.
The 60-year-old had been in the front seat of a Ford Focus when a Honda Civic crashed into them on Thursday, October 19.
She was taken to Southmead Hospital but died from her injuries two days later on Saturday, October 21.
The incident took place on the A37 road in the Farrington Gurney area in North East Somerset.
The Honda Civic was driving down Rush Hill towards Temple Cloud from the Wells direction.
It is believed the driver failed to negotiate a left-hand bend and crossed the centre of the road, colliding with the Ford Focus travelling in the opposite direction, the Bath Chronicle reports.
Avon and Somerset police are appealing for witnesses and are keen to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time of the incident and who may have information to help enquiries.
Anyone who can help should call the collision investigation unit on 101, quoting the reference number: CIU/215/17.


It's been a long time...a long long time. I should have finished this blog/letters contribution last year and given closure to the letters of John W. Derr. I was reminded of my delinquency by a follower of this website and for that, I apologize. With over 100,000 page views, I am well pleased with the results of my project. I sincerely appreciate the followers, casual viewers and the insightful and kind words people have sent to me.
John references personal information as well as battle information. From the description of "a small fight here on the 25", I take it that this was the battle of Fort Stedman. General Lee's final gasping attempt to breakout through the Petersburg siege lines and regroup his depleted army. Though John calls it "a small fight", and his casualty numbers are rather large, the official numbers are referenced below in a small paragraph on the battle at Fort Stedman provided by the Civil War Trust website.
John also references the I and III Corps, though that seems to be incorrect as well.
John, as always, is concerned about monies that he sent home with friends for his parents to save for him. Francis Dengler, an agent in town more than likely was able to draw this $50 for John and pass it to his parents. John is also concerned about the coming summer weather and clothing he has to wear. During this time, soldiers would switch from a woolen shirt to a cotton shirt, which was cooler in the hot humid months in the south. As you would expect, he needs new shirts every season, as the conditions in which he lived were rather rough and clothing wore out very fast.
I take my pen in hand to write this few lines to you to let you know that I am well at present time and I hope that this few lines will find you in the same state of good health. I received your letter the other day and I was very glad to hear from you and hear that the boys are all well again. I am sorry that you wasn't at home when Franklin Hoch was there for I would like to have them shirts for this summer. Them woolen shirts are too warm in summer. I think you could do them up in some brown paper and put the direction on it and send them by mail. If two makes too big a bundle send one at a time and let me know whether you are going to send it or not. You said that you got the money from Francis Dengler. It was a fifty dollar bill and I think you got it so. I let you know that we had a small fight here on the 25. Our loss is about 500 killed, wounded and prisoners and theirs lost about 5,000. That was quite a haul for about a two hours fight. Our division wasn't in the fight only the first and third. I am glad to hear that all the boys are well again and I am the same. I have no more to write today so I will bring my letter to a close for this time. From your son.
Answer soon and direct your letter John W. Derr, 2nd Division Ammunition Trainin, 9th Army Corps, Washington, D.C. Peter Derr answer soon.

Buenaventura is still in the grips of criminal groups
Criminal Groups Continue to Terrorize Buenaventura: Report
COLOMBIA / 6 MAR 2015 BY DAVID GAGNE EN
Despite a government intervention in Buenaventura last year, Colombia's Pacific port city is still wracked by violence as criminal groups continue to kill, extort, and disappear victims, according to a new report by NGO Human Rights Watch.
In March 2014, the Colombian government attempted to combat endemic violence in Buenaventura by sending 2,400 troops to secure the city and announcing it would invest hundreds of millions of dollars in social programs. Yet one year on from the intervention, the port city is still in the grips of neo-paramilitary organizations known as BACRIM (from the Spanish for "criminal bands") and left-wing guerrillas, according to a recent report by Human Rights Watch.
"A year has passed since the government announced it was going to take action in Buenaventura, and powerful criminal groups are still terrorizing residents," Human Rights Watch Americas Director Jose Miguel Vivanco stated in the report.
BACRIM displaced close to 7,000 residents in the months following the announcement of the security surge, according to the report, making Buenaventura the city with the highest rate of forced displacement in Colombia. Guerrilla groups -- principally the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) -- also forcibly displaced over 2,300 individuals between April and September 2014, primarily in Buenaventura's rural areas.
Perhaps most worrying of all, the number of dismembered bodies found by authorities has risen -- six were located in the first two months of 2015 alone, compared to 12 in all of 2013 and 14 last year. Buenaventura became recognized for this brutal tactic through the discovery of "chop-houses" run by criminal groups, one of the factors that compelled the government to militarize the city.

Field research conducted by Human Rights Watch in 2014 as well as in February 2015 revealed fierce territorial disputes among the Urabeños and La Empresa criminal groups that have essentially prohibited residents from crossing the "invisible borders" between neighborhoods. In addition to controlling Buenaventura's criminal activities, BACRIM also control some sectors of the legitimate economy. Prosecutors told Human Rights Watch that vendors of basic food products such as eggs, meat, and cheese need permission from BACRIM in order to sell their goods.
Nevertheless, there do appear to be some positive signs the government intervention may be improving Buenaventura's security situation. Murders were down by 36 percent between April and December 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. In addition, while Human Rights Watch signaled that impunity continues to reign for essentially all types of serious crimes, the addition of eight new prosecutors -- as well as investigators sent from other parts of the country -- has led to arrests in two dismemberment cases from April 2014. Last year authorities also arrested over 280 alleged members of criminal organizations in the city.
As the site of Colombia's largest port -- which criminal groups use to send drug shipments -- Buenaventura has long been a hub for criminal activity. However, Human Rights Watch's investigations indicate that rather than substantially improving the city's security situation, the government's intervention may simply be forcing criminal groups to keep a lower profile after years of essentially open warfare between rival gangs.
One justice official told Human Rights Watch his office has "credible" information that criminal groups are switching to burying bodies in hidden graves rather than dumping them in the ocean, where they can be easily spotted once they wash ashore. In the past year, authorities have discovered 18 cadavers in clandestine graves. In addition, one priest in Buenaventura told conflict monitoring organization Verdad Abierta that criminal groups have agreed to avoid direct confrontations in order to not "draw the attention of authorities."

Yet, a lower profile does not necessarily bring improved security. This new approach by criminal groups may explain why reported disappearances went up by 10 percent between 2013 and 2014, according to government statistics cited in the report, yet homicides decreased considerably in the second half of 2014. The apparently growing use of hidden graves suggests that an increasing number of murder victims may be reported as disappeared, and are therefore not included in homicide data. This dynamic has previously been seen in El Salvador, and most likely in Mexico as well.

KAT rolled out a new bus tracking app Thursday that uses GPS to let travelers see nearby bus stops and up-to-date estimated arrival times.
No one wants to wait long in the rain, be stuck without a ride or miss an important appointment. Knoxville Area Transit realizes that.
That's why the transit system just rolled out a new bus tracking app, which uses a GPS system to let travelers see nearby bus stops and up-to-date estimated arrival times.
"Knowing how soon your bus will arrive, and also seeing it on a map provides a new level of comfort when riding transit," Knoxville's interim Director of Transit Melissa Roberson said in a news release. "It is incredibly reassuring to know that the bus hasn't already passed you by, and even better, when it's coming."
The KATbus Tracker app, which is free to Android and iPhone users, was announced Thursday and is the second part of KAT's passenger technology initiative. In January, the transit system released a texting feature that allows travelers to see an estimated arrival time for the next bus at a specific stop.
Belinda Woodiel-Brill, KAT's director of communications and service development, said a real-time tracking app has been in the works for years. Travelers previously had to anticipate arrival times using a set schedule.
Woodiel-Brill said the schedule was fairly reliable, as buses arrive on schedule more than 90 percent of the time. However, people have embraced the new technology.
In February, 730 people sent 6,131 texts to request estimated arrival times. Those requests, which were sent by texting the posted stop number to #22827, came from 502 different stops.
The texting numbers continue to climb, and KAT hopes this data indicates people also will use the app.
The theme for the KATbus Tracker app is, "It's about time." Roberson said this slogan recognizes that people have been waiting for the app and that the technology can help riders use their time more efficiently.
Once the app is downloaded, users have multiple options to choose from on the main screen. You can track a specific route, find stops close to you, view alerts or plan a trip.
When planning a trip, use a starting point and destination to view all the transit options. The options include walking directions to specific stops.
You also can save routes and stops as favorites for easy access from the main screen.
Woodiel-Brill said knowing your stops and using the new technology keep travelers from waiting at the stop longer than necessary. Instead of arriving too early at a stop on a rainy day and waiting, you can stay inside until the bus gets close.
"Knowing where the bus is is sort of a game changer," she said. "We're always trying to improve the experience for our current passengers. But at the same time, this is something we have heard very consistently from the general public that (an app) is an essential element for transit and for encouraging people to use transit."
For those who aren't familiar with using KAT, the app has a tab with information about fare costs, transfer policies and bus rules.
"At least verbally and hearing from folks, we've got a good, positive response," Woodiel-Brill said. "I'm very eager to see how many times it's been downloaded."
Woodiel-Brill said there are many reasons people should use public transit, but it all starts with the environment.
"Being able to get on a bus that a lot of people are already on that is already running clean fuels or hybrid electric is a great way to feel better about your carbon footprint," she said. "That's the one step anybody can take if they really want to reduce their individual carbon impact."
Taking a bus also allows riders to accomplish tasks while traveling, as all buses are now equipped with Wi-Fi.
"For me and a lot of people who experience riding the bus, it's an incredible de-stressor," Woodiel-Brill said. "It's incredibly less stressful than driving and fighting traffic and being able to read and take time."
With 30-day passes available for $50, Woodiel-Brill said, public transit can save people money on gas and vehicle maintenance.
"One of the arguments I often make is that transit solves so many problems," she said. "It's just so obvious that transit should be used and invested in."
KAT will appear before Mayor Madeline Rogero and senior staff members Thursday morning to present its budget requests for the year.

Q: Java sliding JPanels I have a menu that has a variety of buttons on display, I'm able to make the buttons call their respective JPanels when clicked. The thing is I would like to make the Jpanel slide in when its called instead of instantaneously popping in. I tried using tween engine and as Java beginner,  I find it really overwhelming, so I decided to use timed animation.  I was able to make the Jpanel on top to slide to one side but for some reason the next panel doesn't want to display,  im really tired, can someone help please!  There code is below:
public class Listener implements ActionListener {
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

        new Timer(0, new ActionListener() {
           public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

              mainpane.setLocation(mainpane.getX() - 10, 0);
              if (mainpane.getX() + mainpane.getWidth() == 0)
              {
                 ((Timer) e.getSource()).stop();
                   System.out.println("Timer stopped");
              }
           }
        }).start();
   }
}

A: I have searched for that problem some time ago.I found this sample code somewhere - saved in my evernote for future reference. This is the shortest way to implement that when I googled that in the past
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.Timer;

public class SlidingPanel {

   JPanel panel;

   public void makeUI() {
      panel = new JPanel();
      panel.setBackground(Color.RED);
      panel.setBounds(0, 0, 400, 400);

      JButton button = new JButton("Click");
      button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            ((JButton) e.getSource()).setEnabled(false);
            new Timer(1, new ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                  panel.setLocation(panel.getX() - 1, 0);
                  if (panel.getX() + panel.getWidth() == 0) {
                     ((Timer) e.getSource()).stop();
               System.out.println("Timer stopped");
            }
               }
            }).start();
         }
      });
      panel.add(button);
      JFrame frame = new JFrame("Sliding Panel");
      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      frame.setSize(400, 400);
      frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
      frame.setLayout(null);
      frame.add(panel);
      frame.setVisible(true);
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
            new SlidingPanel().makeUI();
         }
      });
   }
}

A: Sliding panels can be tricky.  Here is some starter code.  Modify to fit
your needs.  Add error checking and exception handling as necessary.
This example uses JButtons and a JTree as content but you can use just about any type of content.

Usage:
static public void main(final String[] args) throws Exception {
    SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            final JFrame jFrame = new JFrame() {
                {
                    final PanelSlider42<JFrame> slider = new PanelSlider42<JFrame>(this);
                    final JPanel jPanel = slider.getBasePanel();

                    slider.addComponent(new JButton("1"));
                    slider.addComponent(new JButton("22"));
                    slider.addComponent(new JButton("333"));
                    slider.addComponent(new JButton("4444"));

                    getContentPane().add(jPanel);
                    setSize(300, 300);
                    setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                    setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
                    setVisible(true);
                }
            };
        }
    });
}

Panasonic has launched the new Lumix GF3, their smallest and lightest interchangeable lens camera. Although it might seem as if it is the successor to the GF2, the GF3 will be selling alongside it and takes a more simplified approach to photography that would appeal to novices. It has the same 12.1-megapixel sensor in a similar looking body but if you pay attention you will notice that there are some differences.
For starters there is no hot shoe for you to attach a second, more powerful flash. The stereo microphones are replaced by a single one. And you will also notice that the GF3 does not have a mode changing dial. Instead it has a jog-wheel that also acts as the D-pad on the back. The whole control system has been simplified and reminds one of the Sony NEX cameras, which are the main competitors for this camera. It still has the touchscreen though, something the NEX cameras don't have.
The new GF3 is 16.7% smaller than the GF2 and 16.2% lighter and weighs only 222g (body only). The GF3 works using the same Micro Four Third lenses, which are slowly getting popular and can also use Panasonic's 3D lens. The GF3 can record videos in 1080p at 60fps or 1080p at 30fps. The GF3 also boasts Panasonic 's fastest yet Light Speed auto-focus and they promise performance better than that of a high-end DSLR with phase-detect AF.
The Lumix GF3 will be sold in two models, one with 14mm lens in July for $699 and the other with 14-42mm lens in August for $ 599. In comparison, its main rival the Sony NEX-5 is priced at $599 (16mm lens) and $649 (18-55mm lens).

Q: How can I add one month to change into the milliseconds? I have a problem changing the current time into milliseconds, the milliseconds shown one month before the set date and time. I know the computer starts the months at 0, how can I solve the problem? First, I transfer the date and the time into String, then I convert the String into date in SimpleDateFormat, and then I convert the date into Long.
For example: When the user enter the date "2018/2/14 11:18 "(AM),  the date convert to long is "1515899940000"  .
Here is my code:
private void  setDateField() {

    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();

    int yy = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    int mm = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    int dd = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

    c.set(Calendar.MONTH, mm);
    c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dd);
    c.set(Calendar.YEAR, yy);

    DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialog(this,android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light_Dialog ,new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {

        @Override
        public void onDateSet(DatePicker datePicker, int selectedYear, int selectedMonth, int selectedDate) {

            year = selectedYear;
            month = selectedMonth;
            day = selectedDate;
            date_time = year + "/" + (month + 1) + "/" + day;
            timePicker();
        }
    },year, month, day);

    datePickerDialog.getDatePicker().setMinDate(c.getTimeInMillis());
    datePickerDialog.show();

}

private void timePicker(){
    // Get Current Time
    final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    hours = c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
    minutes = c.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
    // Launch Time Picker Dialog
    TimePickerDialog timePickerDialog = new TimePickerDialog(this,android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light_Dialog,new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {

                @Override
                public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay,int minute) {

                    hours = hourOfDay;
                    minutes = minute;
                    string_date = date_time+" "+format(hours) + ":" +format(minutes) ;
                    addtime.setText(string_date);
                    Log.e("JEJEJEJE",string_date);

                    SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/mm/dd HH:mm");
                    try {
                        Date d = f.parse(string_date);
                        milliseconds = d.getTime();
                        Log.e("LONGGGGGGG", String.valueOf(milliseconds));
                    } catch (ParseException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            }, hours, minutes, true);
    timePickerDialog.show();

}

A: I suggest: First, instead of your variables (fields?) year, month, day, hours and minutes just declare
private LocalDate date;
private LocalTime time;
private long milliseconds;

(Keep the milliseconds variable since you will want to have your result here.)
In onDateSet assign a value to date in this way:
        date = LocalDate.of(selectedYear, selectedMonth + 1, selectedDate);

This is where we are taking into account, as you said, that the date picker's selectedMonth is 0-based, while LocalDate numbers months the way humans do, from 1.
Now your timePicker method becomes
private void timePicker(){
    // Get Current Time
    time = LocalTime.now(ZoneId.systemDefault());
    // Launch Time Picker Dialog
    TimePickerDialog timePickerDialog = new TimePickerDialog(this,
            android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light_Dialog,
            new TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener() {

                @Override
                public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay,int minute) {

                    time = LocalTime.of(hourOfDay, minute);

                    milliseconds = date.atTime(time)
                            .atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault())
                            .toInstant()
                            .toEpochMilli();
                    Log.e("LONGGGGGGG", String.valueOf(milliseconds));
                }
            },
            time.getHour(),
            time.getMinute(),
            true);
    timePickerDialog.show();

}

You were greatly overcomplicating things. I recommend:

*

*Don't use strings for dates or times in your business logic, use date and time objects. This also means you've got no need for a formatter like SimpleDateFormat (which, I might add, is notoriously troublesome, so it is good that you can do without it).

*Use java.time, the modern Java date and time API. It is so much nicer to work with than the old-fashioned date and time classes like Calendar.

The two points go hand in hand in the above snippets. Also as far as I can see you have no use for the Calendar object (c) in setDateField, just remove it and all use of it.
What went wrong in your code?
The culprit was your SimpleDateFormat. Try using it like this:
    SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/mm/dd HH:mm");
    System.out.println(f.parse("2018/04/17 12:45"));

On my computer this prints
Wed Jan 17 12:45:00 CET 2018

It prints a date in January no matter what is in the string. This is because you tried lowercase mm for month. mm is for minutes (which you also used correctly), month is uppercase MM. So your formatter cannot parse a month at all and assigns your date the default month, which is the first month of the year, January. And this date in January was of course also what went into your millesecond value.
Question: Can I use java.time on Android?
Yes, you can use java.time on Android. Using it just requires Java 6.

*

*In Java 8 and later and newer Android versions the new API comes built-in.

*In Java 6 and 7 get the ThreeTen Backport, the backport of the modern classes (ThreeTen for JSR 310, where the modern API was first described).

*On older Android, use the Android edition of ThreeTen Backport. It's called ThreeTenABP. Make sure you import the date and time classes from package org.threeten.bp and subpackages.

So sweet it's almost delectable!
doherty-elle2005-09-09
You have to be THE most die-hard, unrelenting cynic not to enjoy this movie. I love it when television networks play this film around wintertime because for some reason it doesn't suit any other time of year. In winter you like to have a comfort zone and this film is it! It tells the story of lonely singleton Lucy who daydreams of better things while working at a ticket booth and drooling over the secret crush of a local commuter (Peter Gallagher) One morning she saves him from a coming train and while he lies comatose she gets reluctantly cosy with his family. The deceit is understandable and by no means menacing, as it's Christmas the younger brother Jack (Bill Pullman) returns home and subsequently falls for Lucy. While you were sleeping is beautiful and sweet in so many ways: You are reminded of the more old-fashioned romances of the 40's and 50's. There is not one hint of sexuality or lust in this as the love blossoms between Jack & Lucy is honest, pure and all together endearing. We all relate to Lucy on some level (a dream trip to Paris, Rome or in this case Florence) So it's hopeful to us all when she gets her happy ending. I absolutely loved it!
Sandra Bullock at Her Best.
tfrizzell2002-07-06
Lovely little film that has the lonely Sandra Bullock admiring high-class businessman Peter Gallagher from afar in her toll booth on the subway. Then one day he is attacked by a couple of muggers and Bullock saves his life by getting him to the hospital. Naturally Gallagher is in a comatose state after the attack. A true misunderstanding makes it appear that Bullock is Gallagher's fiance and typical confusion ensues. Now Gallagher's family all believe that Bullock really is his woman. Gallagher's brother (Bill Pullman) is suspicious though, but slowly starts to believe Bullock as well. He then starts to fall in love with her and vice versa. A great romantic comedy that is so pure and well-made that it is near impossible to say anything negative about it. It is not a perfect film, but it is a very likeable movie that delivers what it promises. 4 stars out of 5.
A beautiful, ageless film

I adore this movie, it's easily one of my favourites. Another reviewer said that the best time to watch it is in the winter, and whilst I'm happy to watch it any time of the year, I would agree that it seems all the more magical when it's freezing cold outside, and you're snuggled under a blanket. I'm glad no other actors were given any of the roles in this film, it wouldn't have been the same. Sandra is adorable as Lucy. She has no sinister intent, she's just swept up in the commotion and in the end, falls in love with the whole family. Her speech toward the end chokes me up so much, it's completely heartfelt. Bill Pullman also shines, he falls for her gradually and their chemistry is so lovely to watch. If you want a gentle, unbelievably romantic film to watch on a cold evening, this is the one for you.
Not only am I in love with Jack Callaghan...
ic_kewl2015-11-22
but I am in love with the movie. I'm kicking myself for watching this movie just recently. I was quite young when this movie was first released but that is not an excuse for overseeing this movie for so long. I am so glad I watched it. And I'm going to keep watching it over and over... I am a sucker for romantic comedies and a lot of them are disappointing. It's very rare to fall in love with a movie, and 'while you were sleeping' has that effect on me. The key to the Lucy and Jack's romance is chemistry, and boy did they have chemistry. The element to a great story, whether it is reading or watching is to show not tell. And that's what exactly what it was. The looks that you see Jack and Lucy give each other, their body language, the deep conversations they have, the way he describes her, and how she's head over heels for him. The tension they create when put together wasn't anything sexual; it was something much, much deeper. Something that will last a lifetime. The other key factors to this movie are the Callaghans and Saul, and everyone else. They bring out the comedy side to the movie. They are a hilarious bunch, and are not a tad annoying, not even the real fiancée or Peter; just really, really funny and fun to be with. Put two and two together, and they have formulated an almost perfect Romantic Comedy. (I am going to say almost, because nothing in this world is perfect) Now Bill Pullman—that's a different topic!
Flawless movie!!!

While You Were Sleeping is almost flawless. The storyline is funny but at the same time dramatic. Sandra Bullock plays Lucy, a lonely el worker with no family at all. She sees this guy get mugged and pushed on the train tracks and she jumps on and saves his life. She follows him to the hospital, where it is mistaken that she is the man's fiance. She gets thrust into the family who accepts her with open arms. However, problems arise when she starts to fall in love with the brother of her "fiance". This movie is perfectly cast with Brilliant performances by Bullock and Bill Pullman who plays the brother. The have great chemistry and just subtly looks and gestures towards each other during the whole movie add towards the sexual tension between them. I have not met anyone who doesnt like this movie and it has become one of my favorites. You can watch it a million times and never get tired of it. ****
