Perlstein reviews 'The Last Innocent Year: America in 1964: The Beginning of the 'Sixties" by Jon Margolis.

Video surveillance is becoming more and more important forsocial security, law enforcement, social order,military, and other social problems. In order to manage parking information effectively, this vehicle detection method is presented. In general, motion detection plays an important role in video surveillance systems. In this paper, firstly this system uses ViBe method to extract the foreground object, then extracts HOG features on the performance of the ROI of images. At last this paper presents Support vector machine for vehicle recognition. The results of this test show that, the recognition rate of vehicle's model in this recognition system is up the industrial application standard.

This special issue of the Canadian Journal of Disability Studies is a result of the activity surrounding VIBE: Challenging ableism and audism through the arts, a 3-day international symposium exploring the existing and potential contributions of the Deaf/disability arts to aesthetic innovations, research-creation and cultural change in attitudes towards the capacities of the Deaf/disabled. The symposium, which took place at Concordia University from November 30 - December 2, 2018, brought together Deaf/disabled academics, emerging scholars, post-doctoral researchers, activists, artists, and students – and their allies – for vibrant exchanges on the relationship between disability arts research and disability arts practice.

Telegram and Viber are the most popular mobile messengers nowadays. Unlike other
products, such as WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger, these messengers allow their users to restrict
access to messages stored on the device − in Telegram it is access protection using a PIN code, in the
Viber there is hidden chat functionality, also protected with a PIN code. This article presents a practical
attack that allows to bypass the security functionalities implemented by the developers of both solutions.
The paper presents the methods to increase the security of the mentioned software in a way that it can
be implemented in the Android operating system.
Keywords: Telegram, Viber, cryptography, Android, instant messenger.

In a large number of social media and mobile applications, a new hybrid oral-writing formation is emerging, which is called from linguists' written spoken speech with similar features to both written and oral speech, but also has its own distinctive features. This study will illustrate the thematic structure of a conversation using the VoIP application Viber to highlight the most common model of a zig-zag themed organization and its specifics.

Recent movements against food waste, seen as an issue in and of itself, build on a much longer tradition of movements around food waste, which use unsellable but still edible food—which we call "ex-commodities"—both as a material resource for activist projects and a symbol to denounce other social and ecological ills. In this chapter, we examine three movements—Food Not Bombs, freeganism, and Disco Soupe—that publicly reclaim and redistribute ex-commodified food. Despite this superficially similar activity, they attach different meanings to that food that show the shifting politicisation of food waste over the last decades. We reveal that as movements have narrowed their framings and targeted food waste specifically as a problem, they have also narrowed the horizons of what impacts tackling food waste could actually have. Yet, it is partly through de-politicising the use of food waste that movements have gained access to policy-making and changed markets, in a context where governments, businesses, and charities have all endorsed the fight against food waste.

The owners of property taken for public use are often compensated for their loss. Compensation based on market value is known to create a moral hazard problem and induce inefficient investment. However, no compensation, while efficiency inducing, is not a feasible, or desirable alternative, because it is perceived to be unfair: individual landowners crushed under the governmental leviathan. An alternative is proposed for public projects (as road construction) for which all benefits are incorporated in land values. In this case compensation based on the value of a property had it not been taken, rather than its market value prior to the public project, is both efficient and fair.

The Commonwealth tenancy disputes legislation may seem obscure, but is remarkable for two reasons. First, it is legislation with respect to residential tenancies, an area of law previously left entirely to the states and territories. Second, the Commonwealth tenancy disputes legislation appears to have been enacted not to address a clear problem in the law, but to legally disadvantage a group of tenants ahead of the development of Sydney's second international airport. However, the Commonwealth tenancy disputes legislation in fact opened up numerous fronts for legal dispute, with echoes of the film The Castle (1997). The litigation ended less happily for the residents, while also substantially increasing the time taken, and the expense incurred, in terminating the tenancies. Meanwhile, an important legal issue that could usefully have been addressed by Commonwealth legislation was missed.
