Immigration Detention in Canada: C’est arrivé près de chez vous
''This publication is part of the project Mann beißt Hund by Stine Marie Jacobsen. Written by S. Priya Morley and an anonymous refugee lawyer, it was produced in the context of the exhibition the distance between nowhere and now here, curated by Charlotte Lalou Rousseau. Jacobsen conceptualized Mann beißt Hund in Belgium in 2013, concurrently with protests against poorly written legislations of public space and their abusive misuse by city officers. Belgian citizens interviewed by the artist saw C’est arrivé près de chez vous (translated as Man Bites Dog, 1992, a mockumentary following a serial killer’s daily routine) as an illustration of the dangerous slippage from individual discretionary power to collective social disaster. In its initial iteration, Mann beißt Hund included workshops about law writing with teenagers, developed in collaboration with a local lawyer. Displacing the piece into a North-American context, the artist asked two Toronto lawyers to write a film review: a reading of the original film through the lens of the local legal context, specifically drawing analogies with issues of immigration detention in Canada.'' --

An Efficient Analysis on Performance Metrics for optimized Wireless Sensor Network
Wireless Sensor Networks have the revolutionary significance in many new monitoring applications and self-organized systems. Based on the nature of application WSN are needed to support various levels of Quality of Services. Quality of service parameters are most significant aspect in WSN during data transmission from sensor nodes to sink. This paper surveys the factor on reliability, predictability, sustainability, optimal clustering and scheduling by analyzing various models existing in WSN. A network that satisfies all these Qos parameters ensures outstanding throughput in performance. We concluded by exploring some of the dimensions for research interest and addressed open issues ahead to enhance the performance of WSNs
