Q: Prevent spam calls to webservice I have a page on my MVC site with multiple items the user can click to add to their basket.
Upon clicking 'Add' I perform a $.ajax() command to call the backend and perform a calculation, returning the result and updating a price on the page.
It was recently discovered that clicking many 'Add' buttons in quick succession means the user waits for each call to process in turn. That is, they click 10 'Add' buttons and they see the price change 10 times.
I am not concerned with the UI. What I am concerned about is that the webservice call can be spammed, which in turn could put a strain on the database server because each request requires a database lookup and other calculations.
I have started to put a "locking" flag in like this to stop Joe Public clicking lots of times.
var flag=0;

function updateBasket() {
    if (flag = 0) {
        flag = 1; // Processing
        var form = $("#ItemsForm");
        $.ajax({
            url: '@Url.Action("UpdateBasket")',
            data: form.serialize(),
            type: 'POST',
            cache: false,
            success: function (response) {
                // code
            },
            error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                // code
            }
        });
        flag = 0;
    } else {
        // Still processing previous request
        alert('please wait');
    }

HOWEVER this can surely be circumvented by going into the console and executing
flag=0;updateBasket();

What can I do in the backend to prevent this call being spammed? I am concerned with the code, which I control, rather than network-infrastructure level.
UPDATE: Checking the user's credentials (username0 is not possible because they can do this without logging in.
If I added a unique value to the form on page load that is serialised I could check that in the back end against when I last saw it, but all the attacker would do would be $('#uniqueValue').val('newValue); and negate that.
UPDATE: Just a reminder that I control the MVC backend, which is making the call to the database server. Here is where I think I can prevent spam calls to the database, but I don't know how.

A: I would isolate all of my JavaScript away from the end user, doing something like this.
(function () {
    function updateBasket() {
       ...
    }
})();

Doing this would mean that updateBasket() couldn't be called in the console.
This is called a self executing anonymous function. There is a great article on it here: http://markdalgleish.com/2011/03/self-executing-anonymous-functions/

« Bad air, bad ferries hamper harriers
More than a feeling, a photo »
We hardly knew ye…
September 21, 2022 by David Svien
The Whidbey News-Times currently shares a building with Garage of Blessings, a free thrift store.
Whidbey Island's newspapers are in the market for a new boss.
RJ Benner, who was the Group Publisher and Sales Director with the Whidbey News-Times and South Whidbey Record, didn't make it to his one-year anniversary.
Instead, he's now the Publisher and Advertising Director for the Aiken Standard in South Carolina, a position he started Sept. 12.
Benner replaced Keven R. Graves Sept. 13, 2021, after Sound Publishing, under the ownership of Canada's Black Press, parted ways with the longtime Whidbey-based journalist.
Graves worked at the News-Times from 1986-1994, left to launch the rival Coupeville Examiner, then moved to Yelm in 1999 to run the Nisqually Valley News.
He returned to Whidbey in 2013, as Publisher and Executive Editor for Whidbey's papers.
A former President of the Washington Newspapers Publishers Association, Graves led his staffs to an often-staggering number of awards, while also being one of my journalistic mentors.
His successor, who came from the sales and advertising side of the biz, worked in Arkansas and Oregon before briefly fronting Whidbey's papers.
Benner's run is among the shortest of any Publisher at the WNT, where familiar names such as Wallie Funk, Craig Dennis, or Marcia Smith appeared in the masthead for years.
Sound Publishing is notorious for scrubbing bylines off of online stories written by former employees.
Still, a search Wednesday night for RJ Benner on the News-Times web site still reveals five publisher columns and a shout-out to the food at the Braeburn.
Only one of the six articles is from 2022.

Anode current rating – all anodes have a current rating based on how long they can be expected to operate at a given current rating. All anodes have some defined expected life based on current output and time – so many Amp-Hours of service life. For example a magnesium anode may have an expected consumption rate of 17 lb/Amp-year (7.8 kg/amp) so if a 17 lb anode is operated at 0.1 amps it would have a life of 10 years. For MMO anodes, they too have an expected life. For our linear anode rated at 51 mA/m it is important to know that that rating is actually 51 mA/m for 25 years. So a 100m anode segment with this rating would have an expected life of 127.5 Amp-years. If this anode were operated at 5.1 amps (full rated capacity) it would be expected to operate for 25 years. IF it were operated at 2.55 amps (50% of rated capacity) it should last 50 years. The anode life is generally linear. Please note that resistance has nothing to do with the anode current rating – the anode current rating merely calculates the life of the anode as a function of how many amps for how long of time.
Actual current output – just because you install an anode rated for 5.1 amps for 25 years (our 100m segment of 51 mA/m SPL-FBR) does not mean that the anode will output this amount of current. It just means that at that current rating you can expect 25 years of life. The anode is merely one component of the overall cathodic protection circuit. The actual output of the anode is function of Ohms Law ( Voltage = Current * Resistance). It would make sense to note that if the system Voltage were zero (the rectifier were turned off or disconnected) then the anode would not have any current output. Likewise if the 100m anode segment were installed in a very low resistance environment and driven by a powerful rectifier, the current could be much higher than 5.1 amps which would result in a much shorter life.
Why anode rating is important to the CP designer – the CP designer is tasked with protecting a specific structure for a given period of time (protect this pipeline for 30 years.) The CP designer then calculates, based on actual testing or established guidelines, the amount of current that should be sufficient to achieve appropriate CP levels to protect the structure. This results in an answer of some number X of amps required. If the requirements are to protect the structure for Y number of years, then the anode life required is X * Y (# of amps times # of years). This defines the minimum amount of anode life that is needed.
The next question the CP designer must address, once it is determined how much current is needed, is how to design a system that will generate that amount of current. Since Ohms Law dictates that Voltage = Current * Resistance (V=IR) then if we know that the Current = Voltage/Resistance (I=V/R.) Thus the CP designer must understand how to calculate system resistance (R) and must provide sufficient driving force (V) Several factors affect system resistance (R) including anode geometry – the longer an anode, the lower its resistance – which in many applications is a big benefit to the linear anode. One of the great benefits of the linear anode is that because of its length, in most applications the soil resistivity plays a lesser role since the anode resistance to earth is generally low for a wide range of soil resistivities due to its length. For extremely high resistance environments, linear anodes may be the best option since short anodes will not have a low enough resistance.
There are other factors that go into CP design including current distribution and making sure sufficient current is being applied across the entire structure.
CP Design can be very complicated. I hope that the above explanation is helpful, but if there is a specific application to evaluate, please contact us with the details. We are also available, for a reasonable engineering fee, to develop and/or review CP system designs.

About STNDBY TECHNICAL GEAR Co
STNDBY TECHNICAL GEAR Co - Stylish, hard-wearing gear; made by crew, for crew.
The live events industry is powered by blood, sweat and tears. By late nights and early starts, by days on the road, by people who love what they do and live off the buzz of an audience, their lives changed even just for that one night.
Hard-working crew need hard-wearing gear. Clothes and accessories that solve-problems and stand up to the dust, mud and smoke of the show. Enter STNDBY – products that work as hard as you do.
Origin Story.
When lighting and production designer Tom Campbell and host, producer and entrepreneur James Murden first met they were on different sides of the camera, but through the years working together both recognised a gap in the market for a brand that targeted live events professionals – the crew – and the unique problems they face finding practical, high-quality and good-looking gear.
True to form, they set about finding a solution, bringing together a steering group of industry professionals including event directors, floor managers, camera operators, sound engineers and everything in-between to start to conceive products that would become "must-haves" for anyone in the industry.
Firstly, they needed to be practical. Every product would offer hidden features, additional functionality, and be developed with the same kind of innovative thinking that goes into designing a new arena show.
They had to be sustainable – long-lasting, hard-wearing and ethically-sourced. The events industry is working hard to reduce its environmental footprint, and any forward-thinking brand would play its part.
And of course they had to be stylish. It might be dark outside when you start and finish work, you might be sat on a perch 100 feet above the audience you might be covered in paint, oil, mud and who knows what else – but it doesn't mean you can't look good too.
After months of research and development and rigorous testing by real crew in the real world, the STNDBY flagship product range launched in 2020. Offering customised gear, gifting options and tour swag, and with partnerships with industry leaders such as Avolites and Dirty Rigger, the STNDBY's future is bright, loud and built to last.
"Standby" is a term every crew member has heard thousands of times. It means be prepared, get ready for action, something big is about to happen. That's why we chose it for our brand; whether you need a quick phone charge or access to your passport, our gear is always on STNDBY to keep you moving as fast as your job does.
Our iconic teardrop logo is a visual representation of a light wave and a sound wave colliding, representing the blood, sweat and tears of the crew across every department that forms the beating heart of our industry.
As crew, we stick together, we support each other, and we have each other's backs. That's why we are platinum supporters of Backup, the technical entertainment charity, and a percentage of our profits go directly to them providing financial support to entertainment technology industry professionals who are seriously ill or injured or to their surviving family members.
"It's fantastic to see a new brand launching, particularly in such a tough climate, and we're delighted they have chosen to support Backup. Every donation is important to us and helps us to help those in our industry who are in desperate need. STNDBY choosing to support Backup with a percentage of their profits, right from the very start, is extremely generous and we know will be appreciated by the industry as a whole." – John Simpson, Backup Chairman

Q: In which stargate episode did they discover Naquadah? I saw in the Stargate:SG1 series that they encounter and use Naquadah related items very often. Humans seems very knowledgeable about it.
I would like to know in which episode did they discovered Naquadah itself?

A: Naquadah is first discovered in the feature film. In fact, the Stargate, discovered in Giza in 1912, is made of naquadah. So technically the mineral was first discovered then.
The first episode in which naquadah is heavily-referenced is the episode "Learning Curve," which features Samantha Carter working with an Orbanian child named Merrin to develop a working naquadah generator. The first episode to use the word 'naquadah' (and, incidentally, establish that it is the material the Stargate is constructed from) is "Singularity." The first mention of the Tau'ri operating their own naquadah mines is in "Enemy Mine." It was established as far back as "Need" that the Goa'uld mined naquadah.


Meagan Blomgren is fast. This spring, she qualified for the Iowa state track meet in the 100- and 200-meter dash, posting the fastest time for a freshman in both races.
A year ago, it was hard for Meagan to imagine that she'd ever have that kind of success. She'd been diagnosed with scoliosis and told she would need surgery to correct the curvature in her spine that until then had gone undiscovered. "Her running coach was the first to notice," says Meagan's dad, Jason.
After meeting with doctors closer to their home in Waukee, Iowa, the family came to Mayo Clinic's Rochester campus for another opinion. "We'd been told she'd need two surgeries," Jason says. "We were hoping to get a different answer at Mayo and avoid surgery." The family met with William Shaughnessy, M.D., a pediatric orthopedic surgeon, who confirmed that Meagan would need surgery. But he told the Blomgrens that Meagan's spine could be straightened with just one procedure.

At 71, I have been diagnosed with Scoliosis, Degenerative Disc Disease, and other problems of the Lumbar Region of my spine. I spoke with a Surgeon who suggested I stop taking my Oxicodone, and quit smoking for at least a month, before he would perform surgery to straighten my back, cutting a wedge out of the spine, and attaching a brace with 4-5 bolts.Id like to get a second opinion, and wonder if there's a Mayo Clinic near to me.

Sally leaned in, her elbows on the table and chin resting in her hands. She didn't know for how long he'd been sitting there, eyes closed, and with curiosity she watched the face just across the table. His lips protruded slightly, as if expecting a kiss or mulling over something. She expected him to open his eyes shortly, perhaps laugh at her, and say something evocative or amusing. So she studied him. Was he dreaming something up to say? Reminiscing? She noticed his lips quiver ever so slightly. Without his attentive eyes demanding, prodding, examining, questioning, beckoning, laughing, there was just a naked face, inexpressive yet tender and childlike. A puzzle, this happy-go-lucky-guy, who'd filled every moment of her day.
He kept sitting there, eyes closed, doing nothing. Sally leaned back. It was getting peculiar. She couldn't read his otherwise transparent demeanor. Annoyed? Amused? She didn't know, but she knew, Herve had something to do with it. Since he left, Rick had barely uttered a word.
Sally took another sip of wine, and felt its warmth spread through her torso and down into her legs. Herve. Just the thought of him sent electric flutters through her loins. Her body remembered; the texture of his skin, his scent, their bodies entangled… Images of their past rendezvous flashed through her private cinema.
She glanced at Rick through her own hazy vision. He was jealous. Herve might had killed Rick's growing fantasy about the two of them. Not that she wanted to play games, but Herve's appearance seemed auspicious for the book, the experiment, and of course, for her. Rick's eagerness made her a little wicked, inclined to test his resolve, his innocence.
Some date you are? She finally said. And felt invincible.
Rick opened his eyes, pressing his lips together, moving his pupils about and lifting his brows as if to readjust his face back to the present. He quickly looked in her direction, but barely meet her gaze and clumsily grabbed the wine glass. Leaning his head back, he drank the last wine in one swig, letting it swirl carefully about all the corners of his mouth and down his throat. When he put the glass down, he looked up and said, a little too loudly, Sorry, I drifted.
I hope it was somewhere pleasant, Sally chuckled and smiled at him.
Rick smirked back at her, but said nothing. He arranged his knife and fork on the plate before him, folded the napkin four times and placed it next to the plate, and in one continous motion pushed his chair back and stood up.
Did I offend you in any way? Sally turned in her chair and upon eyeing their waitress, put her hand up, in a discrete wave.
No, no. I'm just tired, I think the jetlag is getting to me, Rick said. If you'll excuse me, I'll find a toilet. He attempted a smile, but it was lukewarm.
Confounded and a bit pissed, Sally paid the check. She found her coat, arranged her scarf, admired the chandeliers, the marbled ceiling, and wanted to call Herve. She stepped into the night. The air was fresh and cool.
Rick met her outside. Well, I think our first day in Paris is coming to a close? It sounded more like a question than a remark.
Sally nodded. For once she was lost for words.

Economic Emergency Extended for Three More Months in Venezuela
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Venezuelan opposition-controlled parliament rejected the extension of the economic state of emergency in the country, as announced by President Nicolas Maduro, one of the lawmakers said.
Earlire this week it was announced that the economic emergency, first declared in the country in January, was being extended for 60 more days.
"The decree on state of economic emergency was rejected at a special session of the National Assembly," lawmaker Julio Borges said Tuesday on his Twitter account.
The state of emergency was first announced after Venezuela's oil price dropped to $24 a barrel, the lowest mark in 12 years. Up to 96 percent of Venezuela's budget depends on oil revenues.
Maduro accepted partial blame for the economic situation in the country in an address to the National Economic Council, stressing that Venezuela needs to replace all sources of income from oil with other sources.

Review: Sunset in Central Park
I told you I'd have the review of Sunset in Central Park done in a more timely fashion! This is the second book in Sarah Morgan's From Manhattan with Love series (the first is Sleepless in Manhattan and you can read my review here) and it was just as delightful as the first. (So, pretty delightful!)
In the chaos of New York, true love can be hard to find, even when it's been right under your nose all along…
Love has never been a priority for garden designer Frankie Cole. After witnessing the fallout of her parents' divorce, she's seen the devastation an overload of emotion can cause. The only man she feels comfortable with is her friend Matt—but that's strictly platonic. If only she found it easier to ignore the way he makes her heart race…
Matt Walker has loved Frankie for years but, sensing how fragile she is beneath her feisty exterior, has always played it cool. But then he uncovers new depths to the girl he's known forever and doesn't want to wait a moment longer. He knows Frankie has secrets and has buried them deep, but can Matt persuade her to trust him with her heart and kiss him under the Manhattan sunset?
As with most series like this - where each book follows a different couple - I was worried that I wouldn't like it as much as the first. Happily, I really enjoyed Frankie and Matt's story. It's been interesting that both couples have been very similar - in personality, work ethic, and so on. I have a hunch that Eva, the third friend who will get her Happily Ever After, will be matched with someone very different. Perhaps a certain favourite author of Frankie's? (PS I just read the synopsis of the third book...score one for me.)
As I mentioned in my review of Sleepless in Manhattan, I like that I get to see how the couple in the previous book was doing after their story wrapped up (ie once they realized they wanted to be together forever and got engaged). What I especially like about this series is it kind of ties into Morgan's Puffin Island series (I've only read and reviewed one story of the three but really liked it because, hello, small town romances are my favourite). I didn't notice it as much with book 1 but in this book, Matt and Frankie actually head back to Puffin Island, where they grew up, for a wedding. Whose wedding? The couple from First Time in Forever, the first book in the Puffin Island series. How fun is that?
Just like in Sleepless in Manhattan, there is a lot of history between the main characters, with one, Frankie, carrying a heck of a lot more baggage. I liked getting to know Frankie more as Matt did. I, like Matt, knew she had her issues but had no idea they ran so deep or affected her so much. I appreciated that Matt wasn't trying to "fix" her, he just wanted her to be her best self and to acknowledge and deal with her problems.
Even though I have the follow up to Sunset in Central Park, and the final book in the From Manhattan with Love series, I'm trying to hold off reading it. I want to have some time to really enjoy Frankie and Matt's story and also because Miracle on 5th Avenue takes place around the holidays. Must exercise great willpower! It's hard though because I really enjoy the characters Sarah Morgan has created and the big city world they live in. The romances are so sweet and real that I just cannot wait to read Eva's story. Romance lovers, take note of this series!

Review: Sleepless in Manhattan
Sleepless in Manhattan is the first book in a new series from Sarah Morgan. This one actually published back on May 31 and even though I read it before the pub date, I just never wrote a review. Which was silly because I totally adored it! Since the second book in the From Manhattan with Love series is now out (Sunset in Central Park, released August 30 and also lovely - stay tuned for a slightly more prompt review), I figured I should get my book reviewing butt in gear!
Here's what the first book is all about:
Cool, calm and competent, events planner Paige Walker loves a challenge. After a childhood spent in and out of hospitals, she's now determined to prove herself—and where better to take the world by storm than in the exhilarating bustle of Manhattan? But when Paige is let go from the job she loves, she must face her biggest challenge of all—going it alone.
Except launching her own events company is nothing compared to hiding her outrageous crush on Jake Romano—her brother's best friend, New York's most in-demand date, and the only man to break her heart. When Jake offers Paige's fledgling company a big chance, their still-sizzling chemistry starts giving her sleepless nights. But can she convince the man who trusts no one to take a chance on forever?
I've read a lot of series that focus on a group of friends and has each book follow a different male or female as they get paired up. Some may say it's an overdone trope but I quite enjoy it. It makes me feel like I'm a part of their group, like I'm one of their friends. I also like it because it allows me a new couple to learn about in each book but I also get the chance to see how the other couple(s) are doing after their story has sort of concluded.
I also really enjoy books about event planners. I actually took an event management post-grad course and have worked a few events at various jobs I've held over the years. So, it's something I understand and enjoy. I liked that Morgan had the girls make lemonade out of lemons and launch their own planning company after the company they worked for had cutbacks. Their niche was an interesting one. They called their business Urban Genie and essentially want to make their client's every wish come true, whether that's arranging for doggie daycare or throwing a bridal shower. Neat, eh?
But we have to get back to the romance! It wasn't hard to see who Paige was going to end up with but I wasn't sure how Morgan was going to get Paige and Jake together because there seemed to be so much in the way - family, history, their stubbornness. Their relationship is steamy, it's sweet, it's so perfectly them. I loved reading about Paige and Jake!
Sarah Morgan has come up with fun, smart, wonderful women who deserve their own Happily Ever Afters. Sleepless in Manhattan had me hooked on their stories and diving into the rest of the From Manhattan with Love series will be such a delight. If you're a fan of sweet and easy romances, you definitely want to check out this series!

This is my ui which I created

Here my DoughnutSeries data height is not increasing ,I am not understanding how to increase that height.
Here My Design , I want to make like this UI.

A: I bet you are looking for something like Pie & Donut Charts,
Column(
  children: [
    SizedBox(
      width: 250, // Preferred width
      height: 250, // Preferred height
      child: FittedBox(
        fit: BoxFit.scaleDown,
        DChartPie(...),
      ),
    ),
    Expanded(
      child: ListView(
        children: [...],
      ),
    ),
  ],
),


"The Daily Beast" broke the news: before he resigned in shame, many of Scott Pruitt's interviews on "Fox and Friends" were highly scripted affairs.
The Daily Beats reports that Fox And Friends, Trump's favorite cable show, repeatedly fed his former EPA chief Scott Pruitt questions and even allowed him to approve part of the script.
We frequently cite Fox and Friends as state-sponsored propaganda for Trump and his administration.
It's so damn obvious how they perform as fluffers, and now there is real proof of their collusion with the so-called administration.
has long been a friendly venue for Trump and his allies, but the emails demonstrate how the show has pushed standard cable-news practices to the extreme in order to make interviews a comfortable, non-confrontational experience for favored government officials.
I've been interviewed many times over the years and producers do provide you with topics they are going to discuss, which is normal. However, this blurs the lines of an interview and becomes a state-sponsored propaganda segment.
Internally? Has Fox's "Internal Affairs" department ever watched an interview on F&F? This is standard practice for Trump and his people whenever they appear on the early morning couch.
They know what their producers do. Fox and Friends is their top-rated morning show, and Trump uses them regularly to bash his critics and political rivals.
In May 2017, Pruitt's staff wanted to set up an interview to discuss how the then-administrator was interested in helping communities his team claimed were "poorly served by the last administration." And so then-EPA press secretary Amy Graham proposed an interview to Fox & Friends producer Andrew Murray, who quickly agreed to bring Pruitt on the next day to discuss the topic.
Would this be okay as the setup to his segment?" producer Diana Aloi asked.
Please note that the comms shop at the White House is run by former Fox President Bill Shine. Coincidence? Of course not.
is excellent and has much more valuable information involving Pruitt and the symbiotic relationship they cultivated with Fox News.

Geospatial FAQs
T-Kartor USA Team / Posted on January 13, 2022
What Is Geospatial?
Geospatial is the overarching term for all data related to and conveyed on a map and can be visualized in two ways. Vector data applies geometric shapes for location, and points and lines represent the outline of geographic features like cities, roads, and waterways. This method is scalable, offers smaller file sizes, and is a great way to depict boundaries on maps. Raster data uses scanned digital or aerial and satellite images and leverages stair-stepping (a cell-based format) to report data as pixels or grids over an image. Geospatial technology includes GIS, GPS, remote sensing, and beacon technology.
What Is the History of Geospatial?
Although geospatial data debuted to a mass audience in 2005 with the launch of Google Maps, the concept was formed as early as 1832 during a cholera outbreak in Paris. French cartographer Charles Picquet created a heatmap to track the spread of illness. In 1854, cholera hit London and physician John Snow used Picquet's work to identify contaminated water sources and show the connection to the disease.
When it comes to geospatial evolution, in particular, there are a handful of women that we should acknowledge and the roles that their skills played in creating what we know to be geospatial today. Showcasing these pivotal women also helps motivate women in geospatial who are looking to take the next step in their careers, something our team can help with.
How Is Geospatial Used In Different Industries?
Transit and transportation systems in metropolitan cities all over the country use geospatial intelligence systems and technology to monitor the condition and progress of thousands of miles of underground and above-ground subway tracks. Drones with GPS capabilities are also used to check all conditions instead of manual inspectors traveling dangerous trails.
The list of geospatial applications is endless for retail businesses, banks, insurance companies, and smart city planning. Your new smartphone even uses a common geospatial tool, LiDAR, which has been around since the 1960s. There have been several applications of LiDAR over the years, and it has emerged recently as a valuable tool to optimize geospatial data collection and analysis.
How Can I Start and Grow a Career in Geospatial?
You can go to school and learn the highly technical field of GIS, which is essential — but that's not all you need to grow professionally. As you gain on-the-job experience, also look for opportunities to sharpen these skills, both hard and soft.
As GIS is applied to more and more industries, there are a variety of ways GIS professionals can approach a career. Along with developing technical skills, it's crucial for your personal and professional growth to consider building non-technical and soft skills. Start by becoming a member of industry organizations like URISA or GITA to take advantage of their tools and networking opportunities.
What Role Does the NGA Play in the Evolution of Geospatial Tools?
Although mapping for defense and intelligence has long been a practice, several government agencies formed to support GEOINT work across industries and break down barriers between private and public-sector organizations that need GEOINT to thrive.
While it's true that the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) was officially formed in 2004, you'd have to travel far back in time to understand the complete history of the NGA — which is also part of the history of GEOINT. During World War II, aerial photography became the preferred method to collect intelligence and visual data, which evolved into modern mapmaking as we know it today.
Who Can Help My Organization Harness the Power of Geospatial Data?
Ultimately, geospatial data is quickly becoming a ubiquitous tool across all industries. When it's time to establish a geospatial data strategy for your organization, it's important to work closely with a partner with a long history of experience working with organizations and cities that need efficient solutions for security, big data management, sustainable mobility, and much more.
