Q: Qt QWebsocket::open blocks user interface I'm working on a small system, it's made by several clients and one admin application. Each client has a QWebSocket server to listen admin's requests so admin app needs to connect to different clients.
This is my Login Dialog:

Before login I don't know which is client ip address so every time that I send login credentials I need try to open a connection to that IP address. The problem is that in Windows UI blocks until socket server responds or timeout its reached but in Windows its works fine.
EDIT 1: I followed Tung Le Thanh suggestions so the code includes his tips. Now the main problem is that ConnectionHelper can't emmit any signal without getting QSocketNotifier: Socket notifiers cannot be enabled or disabled from another thread
I have an ConnectionHelper that is in charge to send an receive data to and from WebSocket setver.
main.cpp
ConnectionHelper *helper = new ConnectionHelper();
LoginDialog dialog(helper);

QThread* thread = new QThread();
helper->moveToThread(thread);
thread->start();

dialog.show();
return a.exec();

LoginDialog's constructor :
connect(helper, &ConnectionHelper::onConnectionError, this, &LoginDialog::onCxnError);
connect(helper, &ConnectionHelper::loginInformationReceived, this, &LoginDialog::onLoginInfo);
connect(helper, &ConnectionHelper::cxnEstablished, this, &LoginDialog::onConnected);

Slot on accepted:
void LoginDialog::on_buttonBox_accepted()
{
    ui->buttonBox->button(QDialogButtonBox::Ok)->setEnabled(false);
    QString host = ui->lineEditServer->text();
    QString port = ui->lineEditPort->text();
    QString ws = "ws://" + host + ":" + port;
    helper->setUrl(QUrl(ws));
}

void ConnectionHelper::setUrl(QUrl url)
{
        if(!webSocket)
{
    webSocket = new QWebSocket();

    connect(webSocket, &QWebSocket::textMessageReceived, this, &ConnectionHelper::processTextMessage, Qt::QueuedConnection);
    connect(webSocket, &QWebSocket::binaryMessageReceived, this, &ConnectionHelper::processBinaryMessage);
    connect(webSocket, &QWebSocket::disconnected , this, &ConnectionHelper::socketDisconnected);

    connect(webSocket, QOverload<QAbstractSocket::SocketError>::of(&QWebSocket::error)
            , this, [this](QAbstractSocket::SocketError error){
        Q_UNUSED(error)
        emit onConnectionError();
    });

    connect(webSocket, &QWebSocket::connected, this, [=]() {
        emit cxnEstablished();
    });

}
webSocket->open(url);
    webSocket->open(url);
}

void ConnectionHelper::processTextMessage(QString message)
{
    QJsonDocument response = QJsonDocument::fromJson(message.toUtf8());
    QJsonObject objResponse = response.object();

    QString action = objResponse[ACTION_KEY].toString();

    if (action == ACTION_LOGIN)
        emit loginInformationReceived(objResponse);
}

I do disable OK button until any response is received and works fine on Linux but in Windows the entire UI block and become unresponsive until a response is received.
I also try to move ConnectionHelper instance to another Thread but I got this response: QSocketNotifier: Socket notifiers cannot be enabled or disabled from another thread
I'm out of ideas I need to find a way to make webSocket->open(url) async or any thing like that.
Thanks.

A: I realize that QWebSocket::open its the only async function that I'm using. So I only need to have two threads before set the URL and open the socket connection.
Following Tung Le Thanh answers' and a little trick now everything works fine. My solution was to back to default Threat once connection is open and start to emitting signals.
void ConnectionHelper::setUrl(QUrl url, QThread* thread)
{
    if(!webSocket)
    {
        webSocket = new QWebSocket();
        connect(webSocket, &QWebSocket::connected, this, [this, thread]() {
            this->moveToThread(thread);
            webSocket->moveToThread(thread);

            emit this->cxnEstablished();
        });

    }
    webSocket->open(url);
}

And now LoginDialog needs to send it's Thread
void LoginDialog::on_buttonBox_accepted()
{
    ui->buttonBox->button(QDialogButtonBox::Ok)->setEnabled(false);
    QString host = ui->lineEditServer->text();
    QString port = ui->lineEditPort->text();
    QString ws = "ws://" + host + ":" + port;
    QMetaObject::invokeMethod(  helper, "setUrl", Qt::QueueConnection,
                Q_ARG( QUrl, QUrl(ws)),
                Q_ARG( QThread*, QThread::currentThread())
    );
}

A: The error :

QSocketNotifier: Socket notifiers cannot be enabled or disabled from another thread

occurred while you try to call a network function directly from another thread (helper and its webSocket were in the other thread). Use invokeMethod or signal/slot instead.
EDIT 1 : in fact, the webSocket was created while ConnectionHelper constructor was called, and its belong to the main thread. The moveToThread does not allow the webSocket to be moved if ConnectionHelper was not set as its parent. To avoid that, the webSocket must be initialized with ConnectionHelper as a parent or when the thread was already started.
NOTE: if your application quits just after the dialog accepted() was fired (main window closed), you cannot see your signals emited.
UPDATE 2
    ConnectionHelper::ConnectionHelper(QObject *parent) : QObject(parent)
    {
        webSocket = new QWebSocket(QString(), QWebSocketProtocol::VersionLatest, this);

        connect( webSocket, &QWebSocket::stateChanged, this, [=](QAbstractSocket::SocketState s){
            qDebug() << "Socket state changed : " << s;
        }  );
        connect( webSocket, &QWebSocket::connected, this, [=](){
            emit cxnOk();
            webSocket->sendTextMessage("HELLO");
        } );

        void (QWebSocket::*error_signal)(QAbstractSocket::SocketError err) = &QWebSocket::error;

        connect( webSocket, error_signal, this, [=](QAbstractSocket::SocketError err){
            qDebug() << "On socket error : " << err;
        }  );

        connect( webSocket, &QWebSocket::textMessageReceived, this, [=](QString s){
            qDebug() << "text message received: " << s;
        } );
    }

    void ConnectionHelper::setUrl(QUrl url)
    {
        if( webSocket->state() == QAbstractSocket::ConnectedState ){
            webSocket->close();
        }

        qDebug() << "Open URL: " << url;
        webSocket->open( url );
    }

Initialization of ConnectionHelper instance :
    QThread * pThread = new QThread();
    m_pHelper = new ConnectionHelper();

    connect( m_pHelper, &ConnectionHelper::cxnOk, this, &MainWindow::onConnectionConnected, Qt::QueuedConnection );

    m_pHelper->moveToThread( pThread );
    pThread->start();

Change setUrl to slot then use invokeMethod to send the command to the helper instance.
    void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
    {
        QString ws = "ws://echo.websocket.org";
        QMetaObject::invokeMethod( m_pHelper, "setUrl", Qt::QueuedConnection, Q_ARG( QUrl, QUrl(ws) ) );
        qDebug() << "Invoke setUrl ended" ;

    }

    void MainWindow::onConnectionConnected()
    {
        qDebug() << "[MainWindow] On connection connected !!!!";
    }

RESULTS:
    Invoke setUrl ended
    Open URL:  QUrl("ws://echo.websocket.org")
    Socket state changed :  QAbstractSocket::ConnectingState
    Socket state changed :  QAbstractSocket::ConnectedState
    [MainWindow] On connection connected !!!!
    text message received:  "HELLO"

Most extraordinary materials on earth housed in new Institute of Making
This week the Institute of Making opens at UCL giving a permanent home to the Materials Library, a collection of the most unusual materials in the world, and the MakeSpace, the ultimate making workshop.
There is a special preview day on Friday 15 March for all UCL staff and students.
The library contains over 1500 materials including uranium glass, steel cloth, magnetic liquid, concrete that can heal itself using embedded bacteria, and rock that acts as a naturally occurring optical fibre.
Alongside the library sits the MakeSpace, which gives members the chance to boil, bake, turn, mill, mend, spin, print, cut, cast, drill, sand, scrape and make. The facilities include 3D printing, sewing machines, ovens, soldering irons and even a crane.
The combination of the Materials Library and the MakeSpace is a world first for a university engineering faculty. The Institute of Making as a whole, whose glass walls face into Malet Place in the heart of UCL in Bloomsbury, aims to let users experience first hand the relationships between materials and tools that constitute processes of making.
Mark Miodownik, Director of the Institute of Making and UCL Professor of Materials & Society said: "Making as a way of thinking is fundamental. Engineering has been dominated by the internet and the digital sphere for the past 20 years, but people do not live a virtual life; they live in the real, material world.
"Material science is now coming up with the goods and showing how to remake the world a completely different way."
Making as a way of thinking is fundamental. Engineering has been dominated by the internet and the digital sphere for the past 20 years, but people do not live a virtual life; they live in the real, material world.
Professor Mark Miodownik
The Institute of Making will be open to the public for special events and open days. The first open day is on the afternoon of Saturday 16 March.
The Institute also plans to host workshops with guest experts, maker residencies and opportunities to make, break and repair everything from jewellery to robots.
Dr Zoe Laughlin, Creative Director of the Institute of Making & Curator of the Materials Library said: "The Institute of Making is like a dream garden shed where anything is possible. Every material is to hand, from iron ore, to the perfect piece of string."
"We have created a space where the power and joy of making can be fully realised."
A Materials Library iPhone app is in development which will allow users to digitally explore the collection from anywhere in the world.
Previous Institute of Making projects have investigated how we experience materials, looking at how the taste of food is affected by the cutlery we eat it from, and how the appearance of materials affects the way they feel to us.
Studentships funded by the Institute of Making have allowed UCL students to pursue interdisciplinary material based projects, such as one in UCL Medical Physics & Bioengineering looking at developing fabrics kinder to skin.

Here's What We Learned About DJing from 'We Are Your Friends,' Zac Efron's Stupid EDM Movie
Girls are dumb and only want to listen to Beyonce, getting spiked with PCP by old men is fun, and five more important lessons that this seminal movie teaches us.
by DJs Complaining
This article originally appeared on VICE UK.
DJs Complaining is a Twitter feed and website that chronicles instances of DJs complaining—about airlines not having the particular brand of orange juice that they like, about hotels not having plugs next to the bed, and generally about spending all their time being flown around the world to make people happy.
We asked the people who run the Twitter account to review the new Zac Efron EDM movie We Are Your Friends for us.
DJing has come a long way over the years. There was a time when to be a DJ meant investing a large chunk of your hard-earned wages in records, spending years accumulating an extensive and valuable collection that you'd occasionally cram into the back of a VW Camper along with a half a ton of audio gear and drive to your local social club where you'd play Motown and Decca 45s for seven hours until someone glassed you or head-butted the amp, all for half a crown and a pint of Mild if you were lucky.
Gone are the days of breaking your bank and your back on vinyl, though; in 2015 you don't need much to be a DJ. As Zac Efron succinctly puts it in new EDM rites-of-passage flick We Are Your Friends, "all you need is a laptop, some talent, and one track." And while we're not quite sure if Zac has completely grasped the concept of DJing there (more on that later), it is hard to argue with him that we've entered a new age. Ever since Skrillex put an LFO on a square wave back in 2010 the EDM scene hasn't looked back, and with its meteoric rise have come meteoric rewards for the scene's stars. While DJing used to be the burden of the socially impeded freak, it is now a role occupied by people who look like models, wear suits for no reason, and hang out with David Blaine. With Hollywood now getting its sweaty lizard claws into the world of dance music and offering up its hottest teen star (27-year-old star, whatever) to play a DJ in the making, there is no doubt that the world of electronic music has finally cemented its place in mainstream US culture.
As Brits, this Spring Break version of dance music is an alien world. Private jets and Vegas residencies are a far cry from Dance Energy, Doncaster Warehouse, and Pat Sharp in a student union. Of course we're well aware that everybody's had a pop at this film, not least the critics. This being VICE and us being DJs Complaining, you're probably expecting us to do the same and make some sarcastic jokes about all the inaccuracies in the stupid, turgid, coming-of-age-by-numbers script. But shut up your sniggering. We've had enough of occupying the moral high ground and living in a hovel that smells of cigarettes and soup. We want some of that Vegas money.
We went looking for tips—and here is what we learned.
Looking and Sounding Like a DJ Is More Important Than Actually DJing
You live this lifestyle 24-7, right? You love "sick" beats, and even when you're not "spinning" "drops" and "crushing it in the club," it's important that everyone knows you're a cool DJ guy. For this reason (and probably also because the company that makes them is sponsoring your stupid film), it's very, very important that you wear inappropriately big, ostentatious headphones everywhere you go. Even if you're not listening to music; even if they're squeezed silently around your neck and it means that you can't look down; even when you're out in the 80-degree midday heat, running off your unspoken dark past and thinking about your estranged parents and dead friend; even if they are so hot that you might as well be jogging in a fucking balaclava, you will wear them, you sweaty little bastard.
Trending on THUMP: "We Are Your Friends" Had One of the Worst Opening Weekends in the History of Movies
djING to a Half-Empty Club On a Thursday Night Will Get You a Million-Dollar House
In our experience, the weeknight slot has never been the most profitable. Seventy-five bucks in cash and four free drinks (as long as they're not spirits) is usually about the best you can hope for. You'd have to play an awful lot of these nights to save enough money to even think about laying down a deposit on a bedsit in Chigwell, but it seems things are different in the States. Enter James Reed, an aging and jaded DJ who, over the course of the film, becomes something of a role model to Efron. Together they turn every Thursday night into a spiritual voyage that involves them DJing to a smattering of disinterested models who just happen to live in luxurious bungalows in the Hollywood Hills, each replete with its own swimming pool, state of the art home studio, minimal furnishings, and beautiful girlfriend.
A Girl Will Always Ask You to Play Beyonce
Ha ha! So true! Women, you see, don't really understand music. They're just there to be blank-eyed underboob machines, soullessly wiggling in front of Zac as he pounds the cue button on his CDJs and, as he puts it, "locks on" to these simple creatures' 120BPM heart rates and "brings them up" to the "ideal" 128BPM.
Of course, their inferior intellects won't be able to fully grasp the intricacies of this clever piece of manipulation, but that's besides the point; two minutes ago they were requesting "Drunk in Love" and now they find themselves gratuitously winding their bikini-covered rumps in slow motion to a genre of music they can't even name. Bless.
Taking Drugs Is Mostly Fun But Occasionally One of Your Friends Will Die
It's always the funny-looking innocent one who is impossible to dislike who ends up paying the ultimate price for a heavy night out. If you're that guy—especially if your nickname is "Marmot" or "Gopher" or something—do not touch any drugs. One bad pill and BAM! Before you know it your friends are crying in the montage of your arbitrarily Jewish funeral. No, leave all that drug business to your crew of sex-pest mates—the hyperactive one, the Johnny Depp one, and Freddie Prinze Jr. They're made of tougher stuff than you, and are too important to the story development to die.
Getting Spiked, On the Other Hand, Will Lead to a Great Time
By most people's standards getting spiked with PCP by a man you've just met, who is twice your age, and whose limo you have been wooed into with the promise of a "fun party," would be a highly traumatic experience. But not in the Los Angeles of We Are Your Friends! No, rather than spending the rest of the evening locked in the toilet whispering reassuring words to himself in a desperate attempt to reattach his id, Zac finds himself cascading into some kind of euphoric iPod commercial, where neon colors, terrible music, and attractive dancing women merge into one rapturous, carefree, super-fun drugs experience. And the next morning any fears that Zac may have been disturbingly manipulated are put to rest when he wakes up alone and fully clothed in his new friend's beautiful home. Time to start leaving those drinks unattended, people.
Everyone With Creative Drive Has Some Sort of Horrible Trauma in Their Past That They Can't Be Bothered to Explain
If you are a young, aspiring DJ, this will cause you to seek a father figure to replace your mysteriously estranged Papa. Don't worry, the audience are too bored to care what actually happened, so the occasional vague hint followed by a pained look into the middle distance will suffice. Once you find an ersatz dad (usually after he has spiked you with PCP in a limo) it will be rapidly apparent that he has his own demons to wrestle with. These will lead to troubling behavior on his part, such as drinking whisky, eating birthday cake without a plate, and having a little nap during the day. Eventually he will go entirely to seed and have a breakdown. You can tell this has happened because he will have left crumpled clothes all over his furniture. Look out for your surrogate father's mental health by checking his clothing storage arrangements. If you can catch it at the sock stage there is a very good chance of full recovery. Unfortunately the producers of WAYF failed to illustrate the horrible reality of end-stage catastrophic mental breakdown: egg all down his front. If this happens to your mentor, it's probably game over.
All You Need Is OnE tRACK
By definition you need at least two tracks to DJ, and even then it would be a pretty short and disappointing set. It soon becomes apparent that the makers of WAYF are not quite sure what DJing is, and how it differs from actually making music of your own. But they don't care about such trivialities, and nor do the festival-goers, who don't seem to mind at all when Zac decides not to DJ at his big make-or-break gig, instead bravely plumping to perform some kind of bizarre Ross Geller live version of the "one track" that he has spent the last few weeks slaving over. And it turns out the crowd love it. They love the Eurotrance melodies, elaborate multi-sectioned arrangement, and interspersed emotional field recordings from Zac's life that have absolutely no relevance to them whatsoever. They love it so much that they probably won't mind the 53 minutes of silence that will inevitably follow him playing the one and only tune he has ever made. We, however, remained unconvinced. When a film is based around the creation of one piece of music, the aforementioned big finale when you finally get to hear it is
always going to be a let down. Zac's one big tune really takes the biscuit; a pallid pitter patter of beige milk drying overlaid with some helicopter noises. But then what did we expect? We saw Zac in his room earlier, copy-pasting an audio file called "techno" over and over again, before very slowly twisting a knob on his nanokontrol, flicking through some VST presets, and taking off his headphones looking disappointed. We were hardly expecting him to have secretly turned out "Strings of Life."
So, these are the new rules that we intend to live our lives by in order to pursue success. Relentlessly hectoring those more established than ourselves, spending more time posing in big headphones and hoovering up chisel than doing anything productive and marginalizing women into roles of objectified window dressing. That should set us apart from the rest of the UK dance scene.
See you in Vegas, losers.

Cyberspace is vast legal area that has not yet been adequately explored or delineated. As such, there is much ambiguity in the interpretations of many laws and the legality of certain actions is hard to determine. This is especially the case because the Internet spreads over a variety of legal jurisdictions. What is legal in one area is hardly legal in another, yet the 'same' Internet exists in both places.
For example, online gambling recently became illegal in the United States, but remains legal in much of the world. Additionally, because the Internet and computers permeate every part of our daily lives, the important legal issues of Cyberlaw often overlap with other legal issues such as intellectual property, defamation, criminal law, business transactions, privacy, and contract law.


Preston North End players have swapped their footballs for wristbands and thrown their support behind Stand Up To Cancer, a joint fund-raising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4.
People in Lancashire are being encouraged to take a stand now by requesting a free fundraising pack full of fun-filled ideas to help beat cancer sooner.
They can also show their support for the campaign in style as a fun range of clothing and accessories for men, women and children is available now online and at Cancer Research UK shops including the two stores in Chapel Street, Chorley.
Jane Bullock, Cancer Research UK spokesman for the North West, said: "We're so grateful for the support of Preston North End.
"The good news is more people are surviving than ever before, but too many lives are still cut short by this devastating disease. That's why we need everyone to stand up and help take cancer out.
"Every day our scientists and researchers are working tirelessly to beat the disease. But research in the lab alone won't get us there. We need to raise some serious cancer-crushing cash to speed up breakthroughs from the petri dish into better treatments for patients.
This year, Stand Up To Cancer will culminate with a night of live TV on Channel 4, on Friday, October 26.

...worn (but smooth) sandstone walking paths.
The highest canyon walls reach up to 80 ft. and are magnificent.
The park itself is quiet, and visitors often report spending time there without seeing many other people.
Accessible only by boat tour, Witch's Gulch also has one of the best natural beaches in the state.
At Tent Rocks, you must usually share the trail with a bunch of other people. That's not the case with Diablo Canyon.
Flume Gorge extends for 800 feet at the base of Mount Liberty. The area was formed by glaciers more than 200 million years ago.
With more than 15 miles of hiking trails, Cane Creek Canyon Nature Preserve is an outdoorsman's paradise.

With over 60 miles of trails to explore, it can often be a difficult to decision to pick where exactly in Letchworth you want to spend your time.
Access to Slot Canyon isn't clearly marked and can be a bit challenging to find, so get ready for an adventure as you seek out the trailhead.
To reach the trail from Hamilton, drive west on Main Street until you reach the bridge over the Bitterroot River.
No matter which one you choose, your canyon hike will be memorable.
The sides of the narrow gorge are sheer granite extending 90 feet into the air. In some areas the sides of the gorge are just 12 feet apart!
The hike to the falls is about 3.5 miles, and it's full of gorgeous scenery.

The three types of centrifuges applied in waste treatment processes rely on settling to separate solids and differ only in discharging the settled solids. Environmental engineers base their centrifuge selection on the particle size, concentration, feed rate, performance required, disposal methods, and costs. Table 7.48.1 lists three criteria (1) suitability based on the anticipated type of solids and minimal coagulant requirements, (2) capacity range based on the largest commercial units at the same recovery of SS, and (3) discharged cake concentration relative to other dewa-tering equipment at the same recovery level.
The conveyor centrifuge is used for coarse and heavy loadings of solids and normally requires a coagulant for reasonable recoveries. The disc centrifuge with nozzle discharge is restricted to sludges containing no coarse parti cles and usually having low concentrations and large volumes. The imperforate bowl with knife and skimmer can handle fairly low feed rates at high recoveries, usually without coagulant (see Figure 7.48.1).

Home/Sports/Alabama's star wideout Williams was hurt on a big catch.
Jameson Williams, Alabama's star wide receiver, suffered an apparent knee injury in the second quarter of the national title game.
Williams caught a pass from quarterback Bryce Young but spun awkwardly before going to the ground. He immediately grabbed his left knee.
He was helped off the field and went into the medical tent on Alabama's sideline. A few minutes later, he walked to the Alabama locker room under his own power.
Williams, who transferred to Alabama from Ohio State, had over 1,500 receiving yards this season and 15 touchdowns.
He had four catches for 65 yards before he exited the game.

Q: Newletter - teaser with fixed height I am developing a newsletter template for use in email and I would like to have a table row/div which can't be higher than a certain value so that the text is not displayed in case it is too long.
So far I tried two different approaches:
With tables only:

Quias alitatem
qui cullat

WelIpsamus pe invenda quiatur? Quias alitatem qui cullat lique num et molor sitempo rionse. WelIpsamus pe invenda quiatur? Quias alitatem qui cullat lique num et molor sitempo rionse.

With tables and divs:

Quias alitatem
qui cullat

WelIpsamus pe invenda quiatur? Quias alitatem qui cullat lique num et molor sitempo rionse. WelIpsamus pe invenda quiatur? Quias alitatem qui cullat lique num et molor sitempo rionse.

They both work well in the preview in any browser. But when the email is received the height of the row/div is not respected. Is there any way of getting the desired result?

A: Try table-layout:fixed;. it will force the table to take priority over the content.
Not sure if it is 100% supported in email, so let me know how you go testing it.

…it wasn't until I ventured out on my own as a freelancer that I really began to feel a sense of professional fulfillment.
March 29, 2018 - Adrian Rubin, Freelance Creative Director, Rubin Productions
Adrian Rubin is an imaginative and passionate creative director based out of Brooklyn, New York. Adrian Rubin, a longtime freelancer, has cultivated a diverse portfolio reflecting his unique talents working in all manner of industries, including film, television, and advertising. A native of Beacon, New York, Adrian Rubin has earned a reputation as a creative, communicative, and team-oriented professional who consistently exceeds the expectations of clients.
Adrian Rubin: I've always been passionate about the arts and knew very early on that I wanted to pursue a career that would allow me to express myself creatively. I originally got my start in the customer service industry, but it wasn't until I ventured out on my own as a freelancer that I really began to feel a sense of professional fulfillment. Ultimately, I moved to Brooklyn and started seeking work as a creative director.
BusinessInterviews.com: Do you have any recent success stories that you'd like to share with our readers?
Adrian Rubin: In September, 2016, we launched a branding campaign that was nearly three years in the making. We put in a great deal of time and effort into raising awareness of the client's brand identity, company, and products, and seeing all that hard work translate into tangible results gave me a tremendous sense of pride. The project also reminded me of the importance of taking a patient approach.
Adrian Rubin: There was a time when I first started freelancing that I felt that I couldn't afford to turn down any project that came along. It definitely kept me busy, but I began to realize that I needed to be more selective if I wanted to feel a sense of true fulfillment from my work. Once I came to this realization, I adopted a policy in which I would only accept a project if I believed it would satisfy my creativity, curiosity, and passion. Adhering to this selective philosophy was challenging at first, but it is one of the best decisions I've ever made as a professional.
BusinessInterviews.com: How do your competitors view you?
Adrian Rubin: produce outstanding work, and I make sure to fully leverage those skills in each project I take on. I simply stay focused on utilizing my skill set while meeting deadlines and communicating closely with the client. There is no need to overcomplicate things, and I believe my competitors recognize and respect me for my straightforward and transparent approach.
BusinessInterviews.com: What's the biggest risk that you've ever taken and how did it turn out?
Adrian Rubin: As a freelancer, I'm much more likely to be affected by the twists and turns of the economy, and during the downturn of about 10 years ago I was tempted to seek out something a bit more stable. Instead, I resisted the temptation and bet on myself by forging ahead with my freelance work.
Not only did I survive one of the worst financial crises ever, I actually expanded my business by a significant degree during this time. It was a big risk to be sure, but it is one I am extremely proud of. More than a decade later and I am still reaping the rewards of that risky decision, but I was so confident in my talent and ability that it never really felt all that risky to me anyway.

You know how I go in alphabetical order to pick words to share with you? Well, I was going to write about castigate for today. But it's such a harsh, negative word--it means "to scold or criticize very harshly." And really, we've looked at so many harsh words recently! So we'll skip it. Here are some close synonyms of castigate, if you'd like to review them: rebuke & upbraid.
A literal catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction.
A figurative catalyst is anything that speeds something up or makes something happen sooner.
Often you talk about one thing acting, being, serving, or working as a catalyst for another thing: "the diagnosis was the catalyst for her healthier habits," "the tragedy served as a catalyst for laws limiting access to deadly weapons."
I'm not saying that the price of diapers is the reason we're insisting on potty training--but it sure was a catalyst.
Raising cancer awareness isn't the same thing as researching cancer cures, and it's hard to know for sure whether the former really does catalyze the latter.
Look away from the screen to explain the definition in your own words. You'll know you understand what "catalyst" means when you can explain it without saying "agent of change" or "hastening factor."
Fill in the blanks: "I'd really like to (reach a certain goal or make a certain change,) and _____ may work as a catalyst."
Example: "I'd really like to get out and do more exercise, and this beautiful weather may work as a catalyst."
First, try to recall from yesterday the original meaning of "lingerie" and the literal meanings of "ambush" and "discord." Answers appear at the bottom of this issue.
B. "related to the household."
1. The literal opposite of CATALYST is NEGATIVE CATALYST.
2. Its proponents argue that the new industrial park will catalyze _____.
1. "Ambush" literally means "in a wood."
2. "Discord" literally means "(with) hearts apart."
3. "Lingerie" originally meant "all the linen items in someone's wardrobe."

The Buc Stops Here
When the 2013 NFL season is over, Josh Freeman is going to be either a multimillionaire … or unemployed
by Bill Barnwell on July 26, 2013
No player in football has more riding on the 2013 season than Josh Freeman of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's a sentiment I discussed with Simmons when I put Freeman in the leadoff 50th spot of this year's NFL Trade Value rankings, which went up earlier this week. Other players certainly have higher expectations or loftier goals, but this one season could essentially decide Freeman's professional future. If he has an impressive season and leads Tampa Bay to the playoffs for the first time since Jon Gruden left town, Freeman is likely to get a lucrative contract extension that will pay him $30 million or so in guaranteed money. Otherwise, if he struggles to perform, gets benched, or suffers an injury, he'll hit free agency as a good backup/subpar starter type, in a crowd with the likes of Jason Campbell, Chad Henne, and Matt Moore, and he'll probably book only $5 million or so in guaranteed returns. Just like Joe Flacco last year, Josh Freeman is betting on himself.
Well, not really. Joe Flacco chose to bet on himself. Josh Freeman might very well not have a choice, because after a dismal run toward the end of the 2012 season, the Buccaneers showed little interest in locking him up to a long-term deal or even guaranteeing him the starting job. So, with that arduous stretch of football now behind Freeman, I went back, watched those four games, and crunched the numbers to actually get a sense of why Freeman fell apart. And, more importantly, I want to figure out whether Freeman will fall apart again.
That stretch came during a five-game losing streak that pushed the Bucs from 6-4 playoff contenders to a disappointing 6-9 (they would end the season at 7-9). The opening game of the streak was a heartbreaking 24-23 loss to the Falcons in Tampa, and it was a game in which Freeman actually played reasonably well. He made one notable mistake, missing an open Mike Williams on a corner route for a would-be touchdown, but he was otherwise consistent and effective. There was no reason to think that anything truly vile was about to happen.
Y/Att
Weeks 1-12 199 349 57.0% 2,761 7.9 21 7
Weeks 13-16 88 174 50.6% 1,082 6.2 5 9
Gah. That's roughly the difference between, say, Flacco and Blaine Gabbert's rookie season. Freeman put up consecutive games with a completion percentage in the mid-40s in losses to the Broncos and Eagles, then followed it with an eight-interception binge while getting manhandled by the Saints and Rams. Struggling against Von Miller & Co. is one thing, but getting shut out by the Saints, who might have had one of the worst pass defenses in league history? That's how you get Craig Macked, man.
I had a few hypotheses surrounding Freeman's dreadful performance before I hit the tape. Some of them actually play a huge role in explaining why he played so poorly, but others have little or nothing to do with how Freeman actually played. Let's go possibility by possibility.
Excuses and Justifications
Injuries: Freeman wasn't listed on the injury report last season, but guys play through unreported injuries all the time, so I was looking to see whether there was some indicator of a possible ailment or a notable play that brought about a sudden decline in his performance. No such play arose, and while Freeman's overall performance was terrible, he frequently mixed above-average stretches of performance with just jaw-droppingly bad moments. If an injury was secretly causing him trouble, I didn't see it.
Bad Luck: There was some level of bad luck mixed in with Freeman's mistakes. Of those eight interceptions, three weren't his fault. There's this interception against the Saints, where Freeman clearly expects the intended receiver to break off his pattern as his hot read to the blitz, only for him to run blissfully up the seam until he realizes the ball is in the air. A week later, he had Mike Williams fall down and create a pick-six (albeit on a late throw). His final interception of the stretch was tipped at the line and caught by Rams defensive lineman Eugene Sims. Just under 6 percent of passes batted at the line of scrimmage result in interceptions.
That's really it, though, and Freeman had a lot of good luck going his way, too. I counted two dropped pick-sixes and a half-dozen other dropped interceptions. There were a few drops and quasi drops, notably from Tiquan Underwood, but I don't think Freeman was particularly unlucky.
It's Just a Small Sample: Well, it is. And I wanted to point out other bizarrely poor stretches from some interesting quarterback seasons of the past, like this gruesome run from a similar point of the season by a notable passer a few years back:
Weeks 1-11 196 322 60.9% 2,103 6.5 15 11
Weeks 12-16 79 175 45.1% 982 5.6 4 8
Who was that troglodyte stuck under center for some woebegotten team? Probably can't handle the bright lights and big games of December, right? You've probably heard of him and what he did that year. He followed that awful stretch by playing just a tiny bit better:
Weeks 17+ 94 151 62.3% 1,105 7.3 10 2
And after that dramatic finish to the 2007 regular season and his performance during a stunning playoff run, nobody questioned Eli Manning ever again. The difference, of course, is that Manning got five games to overcome his ugly stretch and prove that it was a fluke of a small sample; Freeman hasn't had those five games to prove as much, because his team failed to make the playoffs. (He was competent in Week 17, going 19-of-35 for 222 yards with one touchdown and one pick.)
In any case, though, this wasn't merely a performance skewed by a small sample. Sure, there was a disproportionate number of situations in which Freeman got the team into no-man's-land, with drives stalling in awkward places on the opposition's side of the field, but that's not enough to justify how poorly he played. And the actual tape of his performance matched the numbers.
The Running Game: We're getting warmer. Tampa's running game was a revelation during the first part of the season. Halfway through, the seasonal rushing lines for Doug Martin (154 carries, 794 rushing yards, seven touchdowns) and Adrian Peterson (151 carries, 775 rushing yards, four touchdowns) were virtually identical, with Martin pacing the league in rushing yards. Of course, after that, Peterson ran for 1,322 more yards, while Martin mustered up a "mere" 660.
More important than the numbers is the inefficiency of the running game and how it created more difficult situations for Freeman as a passer. Over the first 11 weeks of the year, the Buccaneers averaged 4.8 yards per rush, which was the ninth-best average in the league. During the five-game losing streak, however, they couldn't get the running game started on first down, averaging just 3.6 yards per attempt. Only four teams offered less on the ground from the league's most basic down-and-distance.
You might normally chalk that up to the rookie wall, but even beyond a study I conducted with Mike Tanier several years ago finding no evidence of said wall, Martin simply didn't play like a guy who had hit the rookie wall. He was still making guys miss up and down the field, extending plays for extra yards, and manufacturing modest gains out of would-be losses. He was iffy as a pass protector, but nobody says a player hits the rookie wall because he gets his pass-blocking responsibilities wrong, right?
The Offensive Line: The more obvious cause for Martin's decline comes from the players in front of him. As I've mentioned before, the Buccaneers intended to build around Martin's running with two dominant guards, but their plan quickly went awry in 2012. Incumbent right guard Davin Joseph tore his patellar tendon before the season and missed the entire campaign, and left guard Carl Nicks, imported in free agency from the Saints, lasted only seven games before suffering a season-ending toe injury.1 If this were a quarterback who had two elite wide receivers and got them to produce only seven of their 32 combined expected starts over the course of a season, we would immediately ignore that quarterback's performance and write it off as irrelevant. It's not quite as obvious with a set of guards for a running back (or for a quarterback, for that matter), but in terms of losing significant talent, this was a really huge problem for the Buccaneers last year, especially during the Nicks-less second half.
By the time that blowout loss to the Saints occurred, just one starting lineman from training camp — left tackle Donald Penn — was starting in the same spot on the line. Center Jeremy Zuttah moved to left guard, opening up a spot for utility lineman Ted Larsen at center, while execrable right tackle Jeremy Trueblood was benched after a mere week for Demar Dotson. None of these guys was particularly good. In fact, in a three-week stretch from Weeks 13 to 15, the Tampa offensive line committed an incredible 10 offensive holding penalties; the league average is just 1.2 holding calls per team per game.2
And once that offensive line started to struggle, well, that was the end of Josh Freeman. If I learned anything from watching those five games, it was just how awful Freeman was with a pass rusher bearing down. While Freeman would occasionally sidestep a rusher or step up in the pocket and make a good throw, he would often panic. He would throw off his back foot. He would lob one up and hope for the best, which often was "hope this gets out of bounds so nobody intercepts it." He would even more frequently flutter a difficult-to-catch, end-over-end pass in the vague direction of a receiver, either getting his target laid out or creating an opportunity for a turnover. No quarterback is particularly effective under pressure, but with a pass rusher in the vicinity, Freeman looked like he had signed up for the wrong rec league and expected to play no-blitz flag football.
This is fortunately a sentiment shared by somebody much smarter than me, ESPN analyst and former quarterback Ron Jaworski, who rated Freeman 21st in his quarterback power poll from this past month. We saw the same things: a quarterback who loses his accuracy under pressure, makes shortsighted decisions, and often fails to account for defenders on the field after he becomes aware of the rush, leaving him subject to interceptions by robbers and underneath defenders like James Laurinaitis here. And it doesn't take a brilliant mind like Jaws or a slack-jawed yokel like myself; watch those two four-interception games yourself and you'll see the same things I did.
I don't know that Josh Freeman will be capable of suddenly taking a leap forward in terms of handling the pass rush in 2013. Anything is possible, of course, but when I think about other quarterbacks who have struggled with that very same issue, guys like Kevin Kolb and Jason Campbell come to mind, and they never got any better. The best thing for Freeman, then, would be to ensure that the rush stays as far away from him as possible. That includes a healthy, productive offensive line, so the availability and effectiveness of the returning Nicks and Joseph will be key. I wish Freeman had a slot receiver or reliable tight end to check down to on those plays, but it seems like he will instead have to find Martin, Brian Leonard, or Luke Stocker when Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams are otherwise occupied downfield. If he can't adapt or if the offensive line remains in shambles, teams are going to big-blitz Freeman on third down and he's likely going to throw up a number of ducks in response.
Of course, that's what will make Freeman and the Buccaneers so exciting this year. The possibilities are boundless. They've made significant investments in top-level talent on the defensive side of the football, they'll get healthier on either side of the offensive line, and they could possibly have one of the best young cores of talent in football. Or, alternately, they could have spent money on an overrated safety and an injured cornerback, the line could come back well short of their previous level of performance, and they could be shopping for a quarterback at the top of the draft next year. Will Josh Freeman fall apart? Only if the Bucs fall apart. And will the Bucs fall apart? Only if Josh Freeman falls apart.
Before you're all, "a toe?!" football players do things to their toes that are not appropriate to discuss on a Disney-owned website. Tarell Brown doesn't wish a dislocated toe on his agent right now. Nicks's toe injury was so serious that he had the toe heavily bandaged when he reported for camp on Wednesday. Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch.
It was even worse than that. You can make a reasonable case that Larsen did more than Freeman to cost the Bucs their game against the Eagles, one they were leading 21-10 with 7:21 left. Larsen took a personal-foul penalty that wiped off a defensive pass-interference penalty that would have placed the ball inside the 3-yard line. The Buccaneers would later score on the drive, but Larsen wasn't done. He committed a needless offensive-holding penalty during Tampa's final possession at the end of a stuffed running play, stopping the clock and costing Tampa 10 yards. Philadelphia eventually got the ball back, converted a third down and two fourth downs, and scored on the final play of the game with two seconds left.

See All of Hell's Kitchen in 2 Minutes; Gowanus Canal Exhibit
By Jessica Dailey@jessdailey618 Apr 18, 2014, 7:00pm EDT
HELL'S KITCHEN—Filmmaker Colby Moore recently shot a video called "25 Blocks of Hell," and despite the gruesome name, the 2.5-minute film is a fun portrait of the west side neighborhood. "Hell's Kitchen is one of Manhattan's most manic neighborhoods," writes Moore. "It has a gritty charm that has endured, even in the face of widespread re-development. It's an odd section of the island where strip clubs and taxi-cab fleets manage to co-exist with elementary schools and freshly planted residential skyscrapers." [CurbedWire Inbox]
HELL'S KITCHEN—Photographer Nathan Kensinger, a Curbed contributor, is helping curate a new exhibit, "Combined Overflow," at art space Proteus Gowanus about the creative communities that have sprung up along the Gowanus Canal and Newtown Creek. It runs from April 26 to May 24, with an opening reception on Sunday the 27th from 6 to 8 p.m. [CurbedWire Inbox; previously]

RWBY is an anime style animated series on Youtube. It is made by an american company called Rooster Teeth.
Also if i would describe it it seems like each chapter was more like an extended Arcade mode for BB (where in arcade mode the two characters would meet, talk a bit, then fight, talk a bit afterwards, and then go on their ways....the way Cross tag has it set up just feels more like this than the actual VN portions of past BB games, especially since (well i don't think so anyway) their artwork during the VN scenes doesn't change to show different poses like past BB games did (or they didn't change the pose as much in this game, Ragna was always in his prepare to fight pose for the most part for BB's story. I think they also had one pose where he's just standing relaxed but that's usually when there isn't an enemy/potential enemy around). The only real noticeable changes for characters were their facial expressions.
Theres a survival mode, which is pretty much the same thing.
I don't know what RWBY is but I'm already finding those characters annoying I'm not sure why, what Japanese game company made them ?

The Kumbh has started to reflect different colours of religion and tradition. What makes the Kumbh in Prayagraj distinct is the large congregation of Sadhus and their lifestyle.
But this time, there is something different.
For the first time ever, the Kinnar Akhada, led by transgender activist Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, reached the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj and took a holy dip in the 'sangam'.
However, the journey to the Kumbh hasn't been easy for the transgender community.
The first time the Kinnar Akhada ever joined the Kumbh was in Ujjain in April 2016.
A sadhu blessing a transgender.
Laxmi Narayan Tripathi has become the voice for the transgender community in india. Her struggles have brought a better status to her community.
Laxmi says she has been through many obstacles in her life. She has been a model coordinator, a dancer, a social activist, and an actress. She has also been part of reality shows. She has been a writer too. She believes that despite being an Acharya Mahamandleshwar, her personality will not change.
Along with the nagas, transgenders are also the attraction of the Kumbh. The 'shahi snan' that they have longed for has been the much-awaited moment of the mega event.

Q: Double addition does not return expected value, why? I expect result and result2 to be the same:
multiplying .1 x 10 should equal .1 + .1 + .1 + .1 + .1 + .1 + .1 + .1 + .1 + .1 when running following code snippt of C#.
public void DoubleAddition()
    {
        Double x = .1;
        Double result = 10 * x;
        Double result2 = x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x;

        Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1}", result, result2);
        Console.WriteLine("{0:R} - {1:R}", result, result2);
    }

But the output of Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1}", result, result2); is 1 - 1
And When is used round-trip formater e.g. Console.WriteLine("{0:R} - {1:R}", result, result2); then the result was 1 - 0.999999999999999989
Why is result2 not exactly is 1 when we display using round-trip formater?
What is the value stored in memory when we declared Double d = 0.1?

Appealing against planning decisions
The Local Review Body (LRB) is a committee of the Council whose purpose is essentially to review decisions made by an appointed officer, in terms of the Council's Scheme of Delegation, where the officer has either:-
(a) Refused an application for planning permission, consent, agreement or approval; or
(b) Approved an application for planning permission, consent, agreement or approval subject to condition(s).
In respect of (a) and (b) above, the request to review the decision must be received by LRB, on their official form and within a period of 3 months from the date of refusal/approval. Applications received outwith this period will be rejected as invalid. Information on where you can obtain an application form is contained within the section headed "Submitting a Notice of Review Request".
An applicant may also seek a review by the LRB in respect of a deemed refusal i.e. whereby the appointed officer has failed to give the applicant their decision within a period of two months after the validation date (four months if the development requires an environmental impact assessment).
Submitting a Notice of Review Request
The applicant (or their appointed agent) may request a review by submitting to the LRB a Notice of Review (NoR) (which must be submitted using the official form).
If the original application was submitted using:
The Scottish Government ePlanning system, the NoR form can be completed on line at: www.eplanning.scot
Made directly to Argyll and Bute Council, the NoR form can be downloaded along with the Guidance Notes
Alternatively you may request the Notice of Review form by:
by email: localreviewprocess@argyll-bute.gov.uk
by telephone: 01546 604392
or writing to: Committee Services, Argyll and Bute Council, Kilmory, Lochgilphead, PA31 8RT
All sections within the Notice of Review Form must be completed for the form to be validated. It should be noted that although the applicant is asked to indicate their preferred option for determining the review, the final decision as to how the review will be conducted is made by the LRB.
It is important that the applicant states, in full, their reason(s) for seeking a review within the Notice of Review form. You should also submit all of the documentation that supports your reason(s) for seeking the review as you may not be afforded further opportunity to do so. It should be noted that the Review process is not an opportunity to submit further information that was not before the appointed officer at the time the application was determined. The LRB have a discretion to accept new evidence but only if it can be demonstrated that a matter could not have been raised before that time or that it's not being raised before that time was a consequence of exceptional circumstances.
The information you supply on these forms will be used for the purpose for which you have provided it, and appropriate measures are in place to protect your personal data. A full privacy notice, which provides information about your rights under current data protection legislation and details about what will happen to your personal data can be found here:
Privacy Notice - Local Review Body
Privacy notice - Local Review Body - interested parties
Once the Review Request has been submitted
On receipt of a valid Notice of Review, the LRB will acknowledge the application within a period of 14 days. Once validated, the LRB will write to all "interested parties" to make them aware of the Notice of Review request. Interested parties include the Planning Authority, statutory consultees and any other party who made a representation in connection with the application which was received prior to the Appointed Officer's decision being reached (unless the representation was subsequently withdrawn). Interested parties are entitled, with a period of 14 days of notification, to make further representation, in writing, to the LRB. Following this 14 day period, any representations received will be copied to the applicant who will have a further 14 day period to respond on the representations to the LRB.
All papers lodged in relation to a review must be made available to the public.
In cases where the Notice of Review is in terms of a deemed refusal (see introduction), a report of handling will be sought from the Planning Authority and this will be submitted to the applicant who shall have a period of 14 days to respond, in writing, to the LRB regarding the report.
Considering the Notice of Review
All meetings of the LRB will be held in public and all decisions made by the LRB will take place in public.
The LRB at any meeting will comprise 3 elected Members appointed from a rota and drawn from a pool of elected Members.
There is no automatic right for the applicant or others to make oral representations to the LRB.
Where required, the LRB will be advised by a Legal Adviser from the Council's Governance and Law Service.
All parties to a Review will be notified in advance in writing of all meetings of the LRB at which their review is to be considered.
At the first meeting to consider a review case the LRB may determine that the review documents provide sufficient information to enable it to determine the review. In the event that the LRB decide at its first meeting that it requires further procedure before it can determine the Review, then it will consider what further procedure is required.
Accordingly the LRB may decide to seek further information by one or more of the following methods:
By means of written submissions;
By an inspection of land to which the Review relates;
By holding a hearing.
Written Submissions
Where the LRB decides that the Review should proceed by means of written submissions, a written notice (a 'procedure note') will be sent to the relevant parties, requesting the relevant information. To comply with deadlines for issuing papers, parties will be given 14 days to respond with written submissions.
In the event that the written submissions are not received, or are received outwith the relevant time limit, the LRB may decide to determine the Review without the information or otherwise as it deems fit.
Persons submitting written submissions will be required in terms of the procedure note to serve copies on the other parties (and at the addresses) specified in that notice.
Other parties will have a further 14 days to submit any comments on the written submissions to the LRB with a copy of such comments being sent to the applicant and to the other parties (and at the addresses) specified in the procedure note.
The LRB will consider the written submissions received at a reconvened meeting of the LRB and shall either determine the review or decide that further procedure is needed.
Site Inspections
The LRB may at any time determine that a site inspection is necessary.
A site inspection may be unaccompanied or accompanied by the Applicant/Agent and other interested parties. The Applicant and interested parties will be notified of any proposed accompanied site inspection. However, the LRB is not required to defer an inspection if any persons to whom notice was given is not present at the appointed time.
The intention to make an unaccompanied site inspection will be intimated to the Applicant/ Agent.
The purpose of the site inspection will be to inspect the site and its surroundings and the LRB may ask the Applicant/Agent and other interested parties questions at the site inspection. No discussion on the merits of the Review will take place.
The Review shall not be determined at a site visit but shall be continued to a future meeting of the LRB for determination.
The LRB may decide at any time during the process to hold a hearing. The date for the hearing cannot be set until at least 28 days after notification of the intention to hold hearing as applicant/agent and interested parties have 14 days from date of notification to advise of their intention to attend and, if required, to submit a hearing statement and other paperwork on specified matters decided by the LRB. This hearing statement and other paperwork has to be copied to everyone invited to attend the hearing and they in turn have a further 14 days to make comments on this hearing statement etc. After a hearing is held the LRB has to reconvene to determine if any further process is required or to determine the application.
New Evidence
If, having carried out any further procedures as set out above, the LRB proposes to take into account any new evidence which is material to the Review, it will first allow the Applicant/Agent and any other relevant party an opportunity to make representations on that evidence.
Post Determination Procedures
Following determination of the Review, the LRB shall issue a Decision Notice, which will include a statement of the reasons on which the LRB based that decision.
The Decision Notice will be issued as soon as practicable following the determination of the Review and normally within 21 days to the Applicant/Agent. A copy will also issued to all interested parties.
NB All of the time periods herein are specified by the statutory instrument governing the operation of an LRB.
The Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006 and the Town and Country Planning (Schemes of Delegation and Local Review Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations 2008 provide for the establishment of a Committee of the Council to be known as a "Local Review Body" (LRB).

License-plate readers let police collect millions of records on drivers
by Ras Radio on June 27, 2013 at 8:00 am
A license-plate reader mounted on a San Leandro Police Department car can log thousands of plates in an eight-hour patrol shift. "It works 100 times better than driving around looking for license plates with our eyes," says police Lt. Randall Brandt.

When the city of San Leandro, Calif., purchased a license-plate reader for its police department in 2008, computer security consultant Michael Katz-Lacabe asked the city for a record of every time the scanners had photographed his car.
The results shocked him.
The paperback-size device, installed on the outside of police cars, can log thousands of license plates in an eight-hour patrol shift. Katz-Lacabe said it had photographed his two cars on 112 occasions, including one image from 2009 that shows him and his daughters stepping out of his Toyota Prius in their driveway.
That photograph, Katz-Lacabe said, made him "frightened and concerned about the magnitude of police surveillance and data collection." The single patrol car in San Leandro equipped with a plate reader had logged his car once a week on average, photographing his license plate and documenting the time and location.
At a rapid pace, and mostly hidden from the public, police agencies throughout California have been collecting millions of records on drivers and feeding them to intelligence fusion centers operated by local, state and federal law enforcement.
An image captured by a license-plate reader in 2009 shows Katz-Lacabe and his daughters stepping out of a car in their driveway. The photograph made Katz-Lacabe "frightened and concerned about the magnitude of police surveillance and data collection," he says.

With heightened concern over secret intelligence operations at the National Security Agency, the localized effort to track drivers highlights the extent to which the government has committed to collecting large amounts of data on people who have done nothing wrong.
A year ago, the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center – one of dozens of law enforcement intelligence-sharing centers set up after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 – signed a $340,000 agreement with the Silicon Valley firm Palantir to construct a database of license-plate records flowing in from police using the devices across 14 counties, documents and interviews show.
The extent of the center's data collection has never been revealed. Neither has the involvement of Palantir, a Silicon Valley firm with extensive ties to the Pentagon and intelligence agencies. The CIA's venture capital fund, In-Q-Tel, has invested $2 million in the firm.
The jurisdictions supplying license-plate data to the intelligence center stretch from Monterey County to the Oregon border. According to contract documents, the database will be capable of handling at least 100 million records and be accessible to local and state law enforcement across the region.
Law enforcement agencies throughout Northern California will be able to access the data, as will state and federal authorities.
In the Bay Area, at least 32 government agencies use license-plate readers. The city of Piedmont decided to install them along the border with Oakland, and the Marin County enclave of Tiburon placed plate scanners and cameras on two roads leading into and out of town.
Law enforcement agencies throughout the region also have adopted the technology. Police in Daly City, Milpitas and San Francisco have signed agreements to provide data from plate readers to the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center. A Piedmont document indicates that city is also participating, along with Oakland, Walnut Creek, Alameda and the California Highway Patrol.
Katz-Lacabe said he believes the records of his movements are too revealing for someone who has done nothing wrong. With the technology, he said, "you can tell who your friends are, who you hang out with, where you go to church, whether you've been to a political meeting."
Lt. Randall Brandt of the San Leandro police said, "It's new technology, we're learning as we go, but it works 100 times better than driving around looking for license plates with our eyes."
The intelligence center database will store license-plate records for up to two years, regardless of data retention limits set by local police departments.
Many cities use license-plate readers to enforce parking restrictions or identify motorists who run red lights. Police in New York City have used the readers to catch car thieves and scan parking lots to identify motorists with open warrants.
In California, Long Beach police detectives used scanner data to arrest five people in a 2010 homicide. Plate readers in Tiburon identified celebrity chef Guy Fieri's yellow Lamborghini in March 2011, which allegedly had been stolen from a San Francisco dealership by a teenager who embarked on a crime spree two years ago and now faces attempted murder charges.
Sid Heal, a retired commander with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, oversaw the adoption of plate readers in his agency in the mid-2000s. Heal recalled the dramatic uptick the plate readers made in the auto theft unit's productivity.
"We found 10 stolen vehicles on the first weekend in 2005 with our antitheft teams," Heal said. "I had a hit within 45 minutes."
Before, Heal said, police had to call license plates in to a dispatcher and wait to have the car verified as stolen. Plate readers, Heal said, "are lightning fast in comparison" and allow officers to run up to 1,200 plates an hour, as opposed to 20 to 50 plates per day previously.
But Jennifer Lynch, a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said the Northern California database raises significant privacy concerns. "Because so many people in the Bay Area are mobile, it makes it that much more possible to track people from county to county," Lynch said.
In May, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, along with the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, sued the Los Angeles County Sheriff's and Los Angeles Police departments for a week of data gathered and retained in a multiagency network. For now, it's unknown which agency administers the Los Angeles database, how many agencies contribute or have access to the database, how many records the system retains or how long they are kept.
In San Diego, 13 federal and local law enforcement agencies have compiled more than 36 million license-plate scans in a regional database since 2010 with the help of federal homeland security grants. The San Diego Association of Governments maintains the database. Unlike the Northern California database, which retains the data for between one and two years, the San Diego system retains license-plate information indefinitely.
"License-plate data is clearly identifiable to specific individuals," said Lee Tien, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. "This is like having your barcode tracked."
Few limits on license-plate data
License-plate readers are not subject to the same legal restrictions as GPS devices that can be used to track an individual's movements. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously last year that lengthy GPS tracking constitutes a Fourth Amendment search and may require a warrant.
But plate readers might not fall under such rulings if police successfully argue that motorists have no "reasonable expectation of privacy" while driving on public roads.
Then-California state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, introduced a bill last year that would have required California police to purge license-plate data after 60 days and applied that rule to companies that collect such data. Law enforcement and private businesses involved in the technology resisted, and the bill died.
"Do we really want to maintain a database that tracks personal movements of law-abiding citizens in perpetuity? That's the fundamental question here," said Simitian, now a Santa Clara County supervisor. "Larger and larger amounts of data collected over longer periods of time provide a very detailed look at the personal movements of private citizens."
While some law enforcement agencies, like the California Highway Patrol, have their own data retention guidelines for license-plate scanners, Simitian said there still is no larger policy that protects the privacy of Californians on the road.
"Public safety and privacy protection are not mutually exclusive," he said. "There's a balance to be struck, and most people understand that."
Heal, the retired sheriff's commander, said that absent clear legal limits on license-plate readers, law enforcement agencies will continue to expand their ability to gather such information.
"A lot of the guidance on this technology – the court doctrine – is nonexistent," Heal said. "Until that guidance comes, law enforcement is in an exploratory mode."

Q: MapBox pins don't render I am following a guide step by step building a MapBox map component with markers on it. I am using React for this, and unlike the guide, I am using typescript.
I am using the react-map-gl as well. I got to the point of rendering markers, and unlike the guide, my markers simply don't render. I've gone to the react-map-gl documentation and it seems that I am doing everything correctly. I am getting no errors as well not in my IDE or in the console, yet no makrers.
Everything else works fine. The map opens, and it is indeed centered around where all the pins are (according to the data).
This is my component:
import React, { useState } from "react";
import ReactMapGL, { Marker } from "react-map-gl";
import getCenter from "geolib/es/getCenter";

function Map({ searchResults }: { searchResults: Array<any> }) {
  const [selectedLocation, setSelectedLocation] = useState();

  const coords = searchResults.map((result) => ({
    latitude: result.lat,
    longitude: result.long,
  }));

  const center = getCenter(coords);

  const [viewport, setViewport] = useState({
    latitude: center ? center.latitude : 0,
    longitude: center ? center.longitude : 0,
    zoom: 8,
  });

  console.log(selectedLocation);

  return (
    <ReactMapGL
      mapStyle="mapbox://styles/levanter/cld8rfy27001w01oc8m0sl8pk"
      mapboxAccessToken={process.env.mapbox_key}
      style={{
        width: "100%",
        height: "100%",
      }}
      initialViewState={{ ...viewport }}
      onMove={(evt) => setViewport(evt.viewState)}
    >
      {searchResults.map((result) => {
        return (
          <div key={result.long}>
            <Marker
              longitude={result.long}
              latitude={result.lat}
              //   anchor="bottom"
              //   offset={[-20, -10]}
            >
              <p
                className="cursor-pointer text-2xl animate-bounce"
                onClick={() => setSelectedLocation(result)}
              >

              </p>
            </Marker>
          </div>
        );
      })}
    </ReactMapGL>
  );
}

export default Map;

And this is the dummy data I am working with:

Q: java image conversion to a matrix There is a very simple .jpg image which i want to convert to a matrix. But using getRGB(i,j) for pointing to pixel is giving runtime exception of ArrayIndexOutOfBounds. Is there any restrictions for the size of the image for following code?
And it is just displaying the first color code it gets for throughout the image.
BufferedImage img=ImageIO.read(new File("stars.jpg"));
int pix[][]= new int[img.getHeight()][img.getWidth()];

and then I applied a nested for loop and used
pix[i][j]= img.getRGB(i,j);

A: This function does exactly what you mentioned and it works fine for me. I believe you may have done something wrong in your nested for loop.
 public int[][] getMatrixOfImage(BufferedImage bufferedImage) {
    int width = bufferedImage.getWidth(null);
    int height = bufferedImage.getHeight(null);
    int[][] pixels = new int[width][height];
    for (int i = 0; i < width; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < height; j++) {
            pixels[i][j] = bufferedImage.getRGB(i, j);
        }
    }

    return pixels;
}

A: import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

public class ImageUtil {

    public static Color[][] loadPixelsFromFile(File file) throws IOException {

        BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(file);
        Color[][] colors = new Color[image.getWidth()][image.getHeight()];

        for (int x = 0; x < image.getWidth(); x++) {
            for (int y = 0; y < image.getHeight(); y++) {
                colors[x][y] = new Color(image.getRGB(x, y));
            }
        }

        return colors;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        Color[][] colors = loadPixelsFromFile(new File("stars.jpg"));
        System.out.println("Color[0][0] = " + colors[0][0]);
    }
}

A: You probably swapped width and height.
Try replacing
int pix[][]= new int[img.getHeight()][img.getWidth()];

with
int pix[][]= new int[img.getWidth()][img.getHeight()]; // <--- width first
