2014 January 2nd Happy New Year to all our visitors!
30th Thanks for all the feedback on the info from Thursday – much appreciated!
See the rather different angle on upcoming cameras on the 1D x mk2 page.
28th We're told [thanks] that the 5D mk4 will push towards higher specs, and that Canon's new 'studio camera' will be the one to 'maximise total image quality'. The point was that there will be no 3D and that by early 2015 there would be 4 full frame cameras (6/5/1/1s) available, two of which would be announced next year.
The info is said to have come from a recent high level dealer presentation in Japan (i.e. snr. execs) and when asked about potential medium format the only response was that it was 'still an option'.
Note that despite how this has been reported elsewhere,we were only told that 4 FF cameras would be available – not what they were, or what the -two- for next year would be.
25th In an update, we're told that the 'high end DSLRs' mentioned yesterday are slated for the run-up to photokina, whilst the EOS video range will be updated sooner.
Back in the non-rumour world I've been testing the Samyang 14mm lens a bit more and have posted quite a few sample shots on my G+ page. Given its noticeable distortions (even though sharp and fairly CA free) only a few shots show it up.
This was aparently picked up in a discussion at the recent Inter BEE show in Japan where Canon people have been singing the praises of the new dual pixel AF in the C100 and C300.
Since video still falls into the 'interesting, but no real use to me' category of camera functionality, I'm not as well up on devolopments in this area as I could be.
White and grey Kiss 7 launched in Japan [Canon Japan – Goog xlt] Two white (non 'L') lenses too (EF 40mm and 18-55 STW). Specs are as per black version.
12th Over the years, I've been a regular visitor to the Focus show at the NEC in Birmingham. Unfortunately, this year's was the last.
11th Canon Japan mention a 'white Kiss' [DCI] – so it looks as if the big announcement will be a white camera – Yay!
Meanwhile, a Canon patent [EG – Goog xlt] looks at using the split pixel design (70D) for having pixels of differing sensitivity/size.
One way for increasing dynamic range comes from smart combination of two differing pixel outputs, although there are issues with the angle of light entry from different lenses. It looks as if 'dual pixel' might be part of Canon's push to address some of the sensor performance issues that some perceive?
So, a white version of a Rebel (xxxD) sized camera? An SL2 already? Some marketing wheeze connected with the winter olympics?
6th Whilst we've seen a few big firmware updates for cameras, Canon is going to be offering a sensor update (to a 70D style dual pixel AF sensor) next year, for $500.
The 5D3 gets a firmware update to V1.2.3 – assorted fixes.
26th Seems that Pentax will eventually bring out a FF camera, and the Mk2 version of the 645 will be along some time [PR] The 645 is a long running story …see the Digital MF page for more.
"Point, shoot, collapse: Why big camera companies are the next BlackBerry".
Full details on 1D X page.
22nd In an interesting set of comments from different sources (thanks – more details appreciated ;-), we're told that Canon is not going to jump on the 'retro' bandwagon and that the heart of their interchangeable lens camera strategy, will be just that – the lenses. A key part of next year's plans will be to 'fill out' the EF lens range still further. Canon knows that the right lenses can create a longer lasting 'brand stickiness'.
From my own POV I have to agree about the lenses, and it will be interesting to see how things progress once the froth of the recent Sony announcements dies down.
There has been a rush of Nikon 'retro SLR' type rumours over the last few days, including the suggestion that the camera won't have video. Possible of course, but not one I'd put too much of a bet on.
The timeline below is still a good guide to the more obvious replacements.
If it sells well, can we expect the long overdue D400 or even the 7D mk2?
27th Swappable sensor patent from Nikon [EG Goog xlt.] addresses issues of alignment.
Time to look at that timeline again. Replacements due?
1D X – maybe an announcement in late 2014, but 2015 wouldn't surprise me.
3D and MF – I'm told that 'preview' announcement are out, given the chilling effect on already low sales. Such announcements will come 'in due course' particularly when there is something for them to work against.
7D2 – Outside chance this year, but looks 2014. Is there a link between the long life of the 7D and the D300/S ?
100D – no idea, how's it been selling?
1100D/T3 – Who wants one?
Digic 6 processing – half expected for the 70D, perhaps to appear in the 750D and an EOS-M next year.
18th The lull continues with ongoing mentions of an EOS-M replacement (or two). No signs of any DSLR or EF lens announcements on the way from Canon at the moment.
A new Nikon 1 may be along this week, whilst the D600 price has dropped and the D5100 is listed as discontinued.
Canon have announced some very low light video using a specially developed 35mm sensor.
30th DxOMark passes comment on the 70D sensor comapred to the previous 18MP versions.
"A DxOMark Sensor score of 68 is good for a Canon APS-C size sensor in fact it's the best score the firm has achieved with this sensor size to date, but that's only two points up on the best previous score of 66 points.
Turn it on for video, off for stills.
24th One Canon strategy to counteract falling DSLR sales … sell more security cameras!
'"A major focus for the next phase is increasing our business-to-business (B2B) sales, and of course security cameras – which is a huge market – is part of that," Canon President and CEO Fujio Mitarai said in an interview.
I've been asked what the significance of the patent shown yesterday is?
See last year's Chipworks article about Canon sensors for more.
23rd There is a new Canon 70D technical report at the Canon camera museum.
22nd With Nikon looking to more profitable products [Nikon], what will we from Canon as a response? I somehow don't think it's just more point and click cameras and the G16 we've seen announced today.
16th Does the recent decline in DSLR sales signify (yet) another big change in photography? I've been looking at some of the figures and wondering just what it might mean?
Camera sales fall – why do you still take photos?
Note – I've added a comment system (Disqus) to the article – it's an experiment for longer (i.e. not 'blog') articles on this site, so if it works, I could roll it out further? Please do feel free to email me with any comments/observations.
15th Canon win EISA awards for the 100D, 6D and 200-400 lens.
Who are these people and where do they lunch?
Original data is from the useful CameraPriceBuster site – some slight inaccuracies will come from my adding together the two graphs.
Meanwhile, Thom Hogan pulls apart the Canon and Nikon sales numbers [TH] and the picture for Canon and Nikon is not exactly rosy.
7th Interesting article at Chipworks about the state of sensor design (see also PDF article).
In the US, rebates on the 6D and 100D (SL1) have been extended though to the end of August (full details on 6D and 100D pages).
As to announcements in August – the photo sharing options and a few point'n'shoot cameras seem the current favourites.
Plenty of candidates, but with the recent fire sale of the EOS-M, I'd put it towards the top of the list.
Yes, I'd like a '75MP' 1 series, but I'm not holding my breath …oh, and the 7D2 as well.
Resolves a phenomenon in which "Err 70″ may be displayed when the shutter is released without a lens attached.
There is also a Canon Europe announcement tomorrow 'Your audience is waiting'. See also Canon Youtube video.
29th A while ago, I reviewed the beta version of Kuuvik capture, a Canon camera tethering software package that includes features such as focus peaking. It's now at V1.1 and has added focus stacking and wireless control (for some cameras).
There is also a US Panasonic patent (PDF) that describes using light that's gone through the imageing pixel layer fro AF use.
28th More sensor patents – this time from Toshiba [EG Goog xlt.] looks at reflecting light around after microlens to achieve colour separation.
Other versions look at different arrangements of stacking sensor elements, so you could have a main green and stacked R/B arrangement.
As to when (if) any of these non-Bayer solutions appear, I just recall all the predictions of the demise of Bayer, when Foveon appeared a few years ago, and remember that there has been a lot of development money put into Bayer style sensors over the years.
"This is not just a new technology. It is a revolution that will significantly expand the possibilities of DSLR cameras.
Looks like we're going to see it pretty widely adopted. I see this as softening the ground for moving to EVFs, initially at the lower end of the range – if the 1100D gets replaced, I'd not be surprised to see it there first in the SLR range.
Whilst on the 'how many pixels?' line, an upcoming Sony SLT may feature a new 32MP sensor an 8-14FPS [SAR] (~72MP on FF if that's APS-C).
24th Big megapixel numbers are in vogue again (75 at the 1DXs page) These seem to have firmly killed off any talk of Canon and medium format. We're still hearing that there are 2 Canon DSLRs left for announcement, although I'd not be totally surprised if nothing appears until 2014.
If you're looking for a large printer, I've finally finished my review of the Canon iPF6450 24″ printer – about the longest printer review I've written to date. Questions welcome!
17th Canon in Germany have a video teaser for a new product(s) at the end of the month (31st) [PB] probably consumer related, but we're hearing that an update to the EOS-M is not far away.
The rumour world seems to be spraying model numbers around, with a mention of an 8D (first for some time).
Have a look at the Timeline below to get a feel for how long various cameras have been round.
2nd The 70D is announced and the 'bet the farm' feature is a dual pixel design that allows any pixel to be used for AF. Not much use for conventional DSLR use, but a boon to the hold it at arms length/video users.
Interestingly Canon have been surveying users about compact/system cameras and the 1D series.
Is there more to come than the 70D before too long?
24th We're told (thanks) that Canon have been summoning inviting some people from dealers for a 'big' product launch within the 6-8 week timeframe. If so, expect to see some more serious leaks within the next couple of weeks. No details of just what was meant by 'big', since in PR speak that could be anything!
I've just finished a review of the Topaz Clarity plugin – some useful contrast/tone editing functionality.
Rumours are so thin on the ground that a blurred out camera and a possible '3' on a neckstrap wakes up the high MP Canon DSLR rumour mill. Pics on EOS 3D page.
9th Next time you're thinking of shooting video at a concert – be very careful if laser light gets into your lens.
The breaking of the RED EPIC video sensor wasn't cheap (and good luck in getting anyone to accept liability) see ISW for a discussion about the mechanisms and some examples.
7th Canon are again promoting their summer rebate scheme, here in the UK – running until the end of July.
I've heard elsewhere that the 650D has been pulled from many stores, since the 650D/700D differences are so slight.
Whether this indicates that the 24-105 f4L IS is on its way out is unsure.
22nd A Canon patent from July 2011 showed a 3 layer 'foveon style' sensor (right).
This followed on from a 2009 sensor patent that appeared in the metering system of the 7D.
A new version has now appeared [EG-xlt] which moves this forward.
Compared to the earlier version, parts have been turned upside down, although it is still B-G-R from top to bottom.
We've now had several mentions of an upcoming 70D in early August.
I note that several sites seem to be suggesting different versions of this, but as far as I can see they are based on the CR comments.
12th We're told (thanks) not to expect any DSLRs until August and that the EOS-M is next up for re-vamp.
Whilst this fits with all the current rebates (UK 60D/7D till end May, Germany till end July), DSLR related info has been very thin on the ground of late. I've never looked at the data, but have cameras in rebate/cashback schemes had replacements announced during the scheme before?
Canon also have a patent for image sensor shifting [EG-xlt] not anti shake, but higher resolution as in multishot backs.
As yet, we've not heard similar – both the 7D and 60D are still in rebate schemes.
If the 70D is to the 60D, in the same way the 700D is to the 650D then that leaves a lot of people looking for a 'real' update.
Whilst on the subject of updates, it's worth noting how Canon DxOMark scores for APS-C sensors have been static for several years, whilst Nikon scores have been steadily rising.
When are we going to see more than yet another 18MP APS-C version?
2nd A UK cashback scheme runs until 31st July – does not include 60D/7D, unlike the German one from a few days ago.
28th A new cashback scheme starts the first of May in Germany and runs until 31st July, given it includes the 60D and 7D, I'd suspect that we're not seeing any new 70D/7D2 for a bit? EOS-M relaunch anyone?
16th US rebates run until the 27th, whilst in the UK, they run to the 31st of May and include the 60D. There are suggestions that the 70D will come next week and include yet another version of the 18MP sensor. I do recall that the 7D appeared with quite a lot of new technologies in it (transmissive LCD VF, iFCL metering and that 18MP sensor) A relatively pedestrian 70D update might be seen as heading off, for a bit longer, some 7D users looking to update.
14th New US rebate scheme.
It includes the 5D Mark III and 6D) runs until April the 27th.
Full set of info is at B&H Photo.
V1.1.3 fixes minor date/time issues.
#1 Have you seen this?
At the heart of both models is Canon's next generation DIGIC 6 image processor, enabling the capture of outstanding images in even the lowest of light conditions, as well as realistically smooth, Full HD movies at up to 60fps. Whether at a party or under moonlight, new DIGIC 6 ensures pictures are low on noise and perfectly-exposed, with up to 30 per cent more detail [@3200 ISO] captured than the models' predecessors, without the need to use a flash or tripod.
The HS System pairs the new DIGIC 6 processor with a 12.1 Megapixel high-sensitivity CMOS sensor to deliver exceptional images in low light, with minimal blur and noise, as well as wide dynamic range – perfect for capturing shadowy detail as the sun sets on holiday. Using the DIGIC 6 processor and HS System, users can enjoy shooting with incredible ISO sensitivity, up to ISO 6400, with outstanding results.
So, Digic 6 for the 70D and 7D mk2 ?
I've also updated the Canon timeline below – what do the new cameras mean for the chance of a 1200D?
19th Can we expect new DSLRs later this year to include a Digic 6 processor? Some widely trailed specifications for a new Powershot camera include Digic 6 in the specifications.
The 650D is not a year old yet, so a 700D but more likely 70D & 7Dmk2 could be a chance for a bigger jump in capabilities.
… or with latest info, maybe the 700D will be sooner rather than later, and just a minor update.
Oh, and Canon have lent me a PRO-10 printer for review – if anyone has any questions, please mail me directly?
18th A fairly detailed set of specs appear at Best Buy in the US for a new small 18MP DSLR – full details on the EOS100D/EOS-B page.
14th Canon have announced a range of workshops and classes in the US.
7th A UK Canon 'Cashback ' scheme is starting today [Canon] – runs to the 31st of May.
I note the presence of the 60D in the list – does this make a 70D announcement this month any less likely?
A look at the Canon DSLR timeline certainly suggests that all three are due this year.
With the recent D7100 from Nikon, the 60D is probably first up, and supply shortages go along with the suggestions we've had that a 70D is due this month.
20th Product advisory [Canon] for 1DX and 5D3 covering AF speed with speedlite assist – firmware fix due.
The EOS 3D makes a welcome return in the list, rather than a 1D Xs, which has been more of a favourite of late. If you're looking for a hgh MP Canon, I'd look at both pages where you can see the ebb and flow of rumours, although the 3D's first mention goes back to 2004.
Canon 70D for March, 700D for June, EOS Me for July, 7D Mk2 for August and an EOS 3D for October.
12th I'm looking at how to further develop aspects of the Northlight Images site and have been wondering, on the blog, about the future of the rumours pages – All thoughts welcome – Whither rumours?
Panasonic come up with an ingenious way to remove the need for colour filter arrays in sensors, using refraction.
That's it for the moment from Canon?
I'm working away at the moment, so my rumour checking is not as exhaustive as usual, but whatever might be coming is still well under wraps.
27th A suggested 'roadmap' at CR suggests 3 DSLRs and several lenses for 2013 – product age would suggest both a 7D2 and 70D, whilst the 650D will be a year old by June. Shortages of the 60D and the need to position any 70D well ahead of a new Rebel (aka 700D) would suggest the 70D first. The new firmware of the 7D last year, could give it enough life to last unil the autumn – although a prompt D400 from Nikon might shift that forward somewhat.
I'd also not forget that the 1100D is now two years old and Digic4 powered, but I'd still push a 1200D back to 2014.
Lenses… 200-400, 100-400, 35mm 1.4L II – all regulars on the rumour circuit. We've heard of something else entirely new in the 'because we can' category, but apart from the old shift lenses (45,90) no details.
23rd With the Japanese CP+ show a week or so away, there have been no consistent rumours of anything new. The 200-400 lens must get properly announced eventually, we will see more EOS-M lenses and bodies, and both the 60D and 7D are showing their age.
Short supplies of the 60D do suggest that a 70D may be on its way, but with none of the usual flurry of leaked specs from the Far East as yet, it could be a while off.
If anyone can work out what it's actually saying from the Japanese, please do let me know?
It seems that Sony may have another crack at it with their upcoming 'flagship' model [SAR] Perhaps this may spur Canon to have another go at it? I've never used it, but reports I've seen put it wery much into either 'great' or 'useless' categories, suggesting one reason Canon never included it in any EOS DSLR.
The 'next big thing' in sensors could well be three layer sensors, in the Foveon style – this has been one of those 'not yet' technologies for quite some time now. The current Bayer style sensors have been getting better over the years, so any new technology has to jump in at at least the image quality we're used to getting now.
Lots of different options, including a mix of red/blue and green sensitive pixels (a sort of 'half-bayer' solution).
I've also put some extra Canon battery notes on our blog, since Canon in the US have produced a guide to help people spot fakes.
14th It's widely expected [CR] that Canon will announce some stores around the world tomorrow, but no sign of any camera or lenses at the moment.
1st A general collection of what to expect from Canon rumours appeared on the Xitec forum in China.
Canon 7D Mark II may come with newly developed CMOS sensor, 10fps continuous shooting speed and ISO expendable upto 25600.
Canon 70D will have same sensor / ISO range as 7D Mark II, but its continuous shooting speed limited to 3fps.
Canon 1DSx is also expected to arrive at 2013.
30th Lots of Japanese camera shipment numbers for 2012 have come out recently, both DSLR and mirrorless.
BTW, I've also rounded off my collection of reviews of Nik Software's plugins with a look at Dfine 2, for noise reduction. Not sure how it slipped through the net, but I've now got all of them up to date.

Ten Sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List in British TV Shows
The Forth Bridge in Scotland joined 1,030 places and properties around the world on the UNESCO World Heritage List this past weekend, so today we look at ten World Heritage sites in the UK that have appeared in British TV shows.
Forth Bridge – Photo by Andrew Bell (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 license)
1. Blenheim Palace (England)
Blenheim Palace – Photo by gailf548 (CC BY 2.0 license)
Built to honor Englishman John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough, the Blenheim "Palace and Park illustrate the beginnings of the English Romantic movement, which was characterised by the eclecticism of its inspiration, its return to national sources and its love of nature," according to the World Heritage Committee.
Given Blemheim Palace's proximity to Oxford, it's no surpise that it is featured in the Inspector Morse episode "The Way Through the Woods" and the Inspector Lewis episode "The Point of Vanishing."
2. City of Bath (England)
Bath Royal Crescent – Photo by Leebrady99 (CC BY-SA 3.0 license)
The World Heritage Committee states, "Bath's grandiose Neo-classical Palladian crescents, terraces and squares […] are a demonstration par excellence of the integration of architecture, urban design and landscape setting, and the deliberate creation of a beautiful city."
Most viewers of British telly will recognize Bath by its iconic Royal Crescent, which appears in the "Death Is Now My Neighbour" episode of Inspector Morse and the made-for-TV movie Persuasion, starring Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones. For the updated Poldark, the mansion hall and staff room of Prior Park College were transformed into the ballroom and parlour game room seen in Episode 2.
3. Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape (England)
Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape – Photo by WillWallis
Speaking of Poldark, the World Heritage Committee describes the Cornwall and West Devon mining landscape as "reflect[ive of] the substantial contribution the area made to the Industrial Revolution and formative changes in mining practices around the world."
4. Dorset and East Devon Coast (England)
Dorset and East Devon Coast – Photo courtesy of Literary Lyme Walking Tours
And speaking of Devon, the World Heritage Committee says this: "The Dorset and East Devon Coast has an outstanding combination of globally significant geological and geomorphological features. […] This coast is considered by geologists and geomorphologists to be one of the most significant teaching and research sites in the world."
British TV fans consider it to be the home of Broadchurch.
5. Durham Castle and Cathedral (England)
Durham Castle – Photo by Russel Wills (CC BY-SA 2.0 license)
According to the World Heritage Committee, "Durham Cathedral is the largest and most perfect monument of 'Norman' style architecture in England. The small astral (castle) chapel, for its part, marks a turning point in the evolution of 11th century Romanesque sculpture."
And both Durham Castle and Cathedral serve as the backdrops for the hit Brit mystery series George Gently, beginning with Series 5. (Who could forget that cliffhanger!)
6. Old and New Towns of Edinburgh (Scotland)
Edinburgh – Photo by Tilmandralle
Of the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland since the 15th century, the World Heritage Committee states, "The harmonious juxtaposition of these two contrasting historic areas, each with many important buildings, is what gives the city its unique character."
Perhaps that is why so many British TV and films have been set in or shot in Edinburgh, including the mystery series Case Histories, crime drama Rebus, bio-drama Garrow's Law, and period drama North & South, amongst others.
7. Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey including Saint Margaret's Church (England)
Westminster Palace – Photo by DaniKauf (CC BY-SA 3.0 license)
As the seat of the House of Lords and House of Commons that make up the Parliament of the United Kingdom, pretty much any series having to do with national British politics is going to have Westminster in it in some way, even if it's only referenced in dialogue.
What comes to mind immediately is the UK version of House of Cards, which features the iconic aerial view of Westminster in the title credits. Plus No Job for a Lady, Party Animals, The Politician's Husband, and The Thick of It, to name a few more.
Even Sherlock has a case directly related to Westminster in "The Empty Hearse" episode.
States the World Heritage Committee, "The Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey and St Margaret's Church […] represent the journey from a feudal society to a modern democracy and show the intertwined history of church, monarchy and state."
8. Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites (England)
Stonehenge – Photo by Frédéric Vincent (CC BY-SA 2.0 license)
"The monuments of the Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites demonstrate outstanding creative and technological achievements in prehistoric times," says the World Heritage Committee.
In modern times, Stonehenge was a key location for the Doctor Who episode "The Pandorica Opens," as well as the 2008 adaptation of Tess of the D'Urbervilles.
9. Studley Royal Park including the Ruins of Fountains Abbey (England)
Fountains Abbey – Photo by Diliff (CC-BY-SA 3.0 license)
"A true masterpiece of human creative genius." That's how the World Heritage Committee describe Studley Royal Park and the ruins of Fountains Abbey, adding it "owes its originality and striking beauty to the fact that a humanised landscape was created around the largest medieval ruins in the United Kingdom."
As far as I can tell, there have been fewer television shows filmed here than at others of the World Heritage sites, but some include the period drama Flambards, and the documentaries Terry Jones' Medieval Lives and Cathedral.
10. Tower of London (England)
Tower of London – photo by Bob Collowân (CC BY-SA 3.0 license)
According to the World Heritage Committee, "The Tower of London has Outstanding Universal Value" due to its cultural qualities, including its strategic siting on the River Thames, "demonstration and symbol of Norman power," and "strong associations with State Institutions," and its being "an outstanding example of late 11th century innovative Norman military architecture," "a model example of a medieval fortress palace," and "the setting for key historical events in European history."
It's been standing since William the Conqueror had it built in the 11th century, so, similar to Westminster, many British TV shows that center on the monarchy, especially Henry VIII, include scenes that take place at the Tower, including Richard II, The Tudors, and Wolf Hall.
In Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor, Queen Elizabeth I imprisons the 10th and 11th Doctors (David Tennant and Matt Smith) as well as the War Doctor (John Hurt) in the Tower of London in 1562, where concurrently in 2013 it is the site of UNIT's Black Archives, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart's office, and the showdown between Kate, the Doctors, and the Zygons. And Sherlock, too, takes us to the Tower in "The Reichenbach Fall" by way of Moriarty.

Islamabad : In a perplexing move the Islamabad Police, acting on the directions of the Deputy Commissioner of Islamabad, picked seven poor daily wage labourers from a construction site in Bani Gala on the charges of violating a ban imposed by the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration last Friday and send them to jail.
The ICT Administration recently imposed a ban on construction in the Bani Gala area to prevent illegal constructions in the Islamabad National Park area around Rawal Lake, which once used to be scenic surrounded by thick foliage and flowing meadows.
Last Saturday, (April 6, 2019) these six labourers were engaged for laying roof slab of a building being constructed by a local person. The police team from the Bani Gala Police Station, led by the Assistant Commissioner (Rural) raided the place and arrested the six labourers instead of the owner of the building!
This scribe contacted the Bani Gala Police as well as the AC (Rural), seeking information as to why the poor daily wage labourers were arrested while the owner of the building, who hired these men for a day's job, was not touched, they failed to give any plausible reason.
However, when the Deputy Commissioner was contacted, he conceded that a mistake has been made in this regard but made no promise to take corrective measures and get these labourers released from jail.
Instead of releasing the poor labourers, the police hurriedly sent them to jail on judicial remand by the court of law. Now these six labourers are languishing in jail for the last one week and their families are helpless because neither they have money to engage a lawyer to get them released and exonerated of the crime nor they are aware as to whom to approach to get their family members released.
The legal experts when contacted by this scribe expressed surprise over the action of the Islamabad Police and the AC (Rural) because if there was a culprit in the whole scheme, then it was the owner of the building who was violating the ban imposed on any kind of constructions in Bani Gala area and not the labourers.
The whole thing would have gone un-noticed but a local person, who was an eye-witness to the incident decided to pursue the case and shared the details with this scribe. However, that gentleman is also not in a position to extend any further help to ensure release of these six labourers.
There are a number of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), which claim to offer free legal aid to such innocent persons who, because of the lacunas in the laws, get entangled in such situations. However, none has come to the fore to extend a helping hand to these six labourers to get release for committing the crime of working honestly to earn a living for their families.
The legal expert said that the fate of these six labourers is now completely in hands of Islamabad Police as to when they will decide to present them in the court of law and then whether the judge will be compensate enough to look into the matter in detail and exonerate them of the crime on one hand and order the police to arrest the actual culprit, the owner of the building, who was violating the law.

Subotica (, ; ) is a city and the administrative center of the North Bačka District in the autonomous province of Vojvodina, Serbia. Formerly the largest city of Vojvodina region, contemporary Subotica is now the second largest city in the province, following the city of Novi Sad. According to the 2011 census, the city itself has a population of 97,910, while the urban area of Subotica (with adjacent urban settlement of Palić included) has 105,681 inhabitants, and the population of metro area (the administrative area of the city) stands at 141,554 people.

Name
The name of the city has changed frequently over time. The earliest known written name of the city was Zabotka or Zabatka, which dates from 1391. It is the origin of the current Hungarian name for the city "Szabadka". Other sources claim, that the name "Szabadka" comes from the adjective szabad, which derived from the Slavic word for "free" – svobod, referring to the status of the colonists settled in this zone by the Habsburg after the Battle of Zenta.

The town was named in the 1740s after Maria Theresa of Austria, Archduchess of Austria. It was officially called Sent-Maria in 1743, but was renamed in 1779 as Maria-Theresiapolis. These two official names were also spelled in several different ways (most commonly the German Maria-Theresiopel or Theresiopel), and were used in different languages.

Geography
It is located in the Pannonian Basin at 46.07° North, 19.68° East, about  from the border with Hungary, and is the northernmost city in Serbia. It is located in the vicinity of lake Palić.

Climate
Subotica has a warm-summer humid continental climate (Dfb) that is uncommon in Serbia except at higher elevations,

History

Prehistory and antiquity
In the Neolithic and Eneolithic periods, several important archaeological cultures flourished in this area, including the Starčevo culture, the Vinča culture, and the Tiszapolgár culture. Early Indo-European peoples settled in the territory of present-day Subotica in 3200 BC. During the Eneolithic period, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, several Indo-European archaeological cultures included areas around Subotica - the Baden culture, the Vučedol culture, the Urnfield culture and some others. Before the Iazyge conquest in the 1st century BC, Indo-European peoples of Illyrian, Celtic and Dacian descent inhabited this area. In the 3rd century BC, this area was controlled by the Celtic Boii and Eravisci, while in the 1st century BC, it became part of the Dacian kingdom. From the 1st century BC, the area came under the control of the Sarmatian Iazyges, who were sometimes allies and sometimes enemies of the Romans. Iazyge rule lasted until the 4th century AD, after which the region came into the possession of various other peoples and states.

Early Middle Ages and Slavic settlement
In the Early Middle Ages various Indo-European and Turkic peoples and states ruled in the area of Subotica. These peoples included Huns, Gepids, Avars, Slavs and Bulgarians. Slavs settled today's Subotica in the 6th and 7th centuries, before some of them crossed the rivers Sava and Danube and settled in the Balkans.

The Slavic tribe living in the territory of present-day Subotica were the Obotrites, a subgroup of the Serbs. In the 9th century, after the fall of the Avar state, the first forms of Slavic statehood emerged in this area. The first Slavic states that ruled over this region included the Principality of Lower Pannonia (846-875), Great Moravia (833– 907) and the Bulgarian Empire.

Late-Middle Ages

Subotica probably first became a settlement of note when people poured into it from nearby villages destroyed during the Tatar invasions of 1241–42. When Zabadka/Zabatka was first recorded in 1391, it was a tiny town in the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. Later, the city belonged to the Hunyadis, one of the most influential aristocratic families in the whole of Central Europe.

King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary gave the town to one of his relatives, János Pongrác Dengelegi, who, fearing an invasion by the Ottoman Empire, fortified the castle of Subotica, erecting a fortress in 1470. Some decades later, after the Battle of Mohács in 1526, Subotica became part of the Ottoman Empire. The majority of the Hungarian population fled northward to Royal Hungary. Bálint Török, a local noble who had ruled over Subotica, also escaped from the city. During the military and political havoc following the defeat at Mohács, Subotica came under the control of Serbian mercenaries recruited in Banat. These soldiers were in the service of the Transylvanian general John I Zápolya, a later Hungarian king.

The leader of these mercenaries, Jovan Nenad, established in 1526–27 his rule in Bačka, northern Banat and a small part of Syrmia and created an independent entity, with Subotica as its administrative centre. At the peak of his power, Jovan Nenad proclaimed himself as Serbian tsar in Subotica. He named Radoslav Čelnik as the general commander of his army, while his treasurer and palatine was Subota Vrlić, a Serbian noble from Jagodina. When Bálint Török returned and recaptured Subotica from the Serbs, Jovan Nenad moved the administrative centre to Szeged.

Some months later, in the summer of 1527, Jovan Nenad was assassinated and his entity collapsed. However, after Jovan Nenad's death, Radoslav Čelnik led a part of the army to Ottoman Syrmia, where he briefly ruled as an Ottoman vassal.

Ottoman administration

The Ottoman Empire ruled the city from 1542 to 1686. At the end of this almost 150-year-long period, not much remained of the old town of Zabadka/Zabatka. As much of the population had fled, the Ottomans encouraged the settlement of the area by different colonists from the Balkans. The settlers were mostly Orthodox Serbs. They cultivated the extremely fertile land around Subotica. In 1570, the population of Subotica numbered 49 houses, and in 1590, 63 houses. In 1687, the region was settled by Catholic Dalmatas (called Bunjevci today). It was called Sobotka under Ottoman rule and was a kaza centre in Segedin sanjak at first in Budin Eyaleti until 1596, and after that in Eğri Eyaleti between 1596 and 1686.

Habsburg administration

In 1687, about 5,000 Bunjevci settled in Bačka (including Subotica). After the decisive battle against the Ottomans at Senta led by Prince Eugene of Savoy on 11 September 1697, Subotica became part of the military border zone Theiss-Mieresch established by the Habsburg monarchy. In the meantime the uprising of Francis II Rákóczi broke out, which is also known as the Kuruc War.

In the region of Subotica, Rákóczi joined battle against the Rac National Militia. Rác was a designation for the South Slavic people (mostly Serbs and Bunjevci) and they often were referred to as rácok in the Kingdom of Hungary. In a later period rácok came to mean, above all, Serbs of Orthodox religion.

The Serbian military families enjoyed several privileges thanks to their service for the Habsburg Monarchy. Subotica gradually, however, developed from being a mere garrison town to becoming a market town with its own civil charter in 1743. When this happened, many Serbs complained about the loss of their privileges. The majority left the town in protest and some of them founded a new settlement just outside 18th century Subotica in Aleksandrovo, while others emigrated to Russia. In New Serbia, a new Russian province established for them, those Serbs founded a new settlement and also named it Subotica. In 1775, a Jewish community in Subotica was established.

It was perhaps to emphasise the new civic serenity of Subotica that the pious name Saint Mary came to be used for it at this time. Some decades later, in 1779, Empress Maria Theresa of Austria advanced the town's status further by proclaiming it a Free Royal Town. The enthusiastic inhabitants of the city renamed Subotica once more as Maria-Theresiopolis.

This Free Royal Town status gave a great impetus to the development of the city. During the 19th century, its population doubled twice, attracting many people from all over the Habsburg monarchy. This led eventually to a considerable demographic change. In the first half of the 19th century, the Bunjevci had still been in the majority, but there was an increasing number of Hungarians and Jews settling in Subotica. This process was not stopped even by the outbreak of the Revolutions in the Habsburg monarchy (1848–49).

1848/1849 Revolutions

During the 1848-49 revolution, the proclaimed borders of autonomous Serbian Vojvodina included Subotica, but Serb troops could not establish control in the region. On 5 March 1849, at the locality named Kaponja (between Tavankut and Bajmok), there was a battle between the Serb and Hungarian armies, which was won by the Hungarians.

The first newspaper in the town was also published during the 1848/49 revolution—it was called Honunk állapota ("State of Our Homeland") and was published in Hungarian by Károly Bitterman's local printing company. Unlike most Serbs and Croats who confronted the Hungarians, part of the local Bunjevci people supported the Hungarian revolution.

In 1849, after the Hungarian revolution of 1848 was defeated by the Russian and Habsburg armies, the town was separated from the Kingdom of Hungary together with most of the Bačka region, and became part of a separate Habsburg province, called Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar. The administrative centre of this new province was Timișoara. The province existed until 1860. During the existence of the voivodeship, in 1853, Subotica acquired its impressive theatre.

Hungarian administration
After the establishment of the Dual-Monarchy in 1867, there followed what is often called the "golden age" of city development of Subotica. Many schools were opened after 1867 and in 1869 the railway connected the city to the world. In 1896 an electrical power plant was built, further enhancing the development of the city and the whole region. Subotica now adorned itself with its remarkable Central European, fin de siècle architecture. In 1902 a Jewish synagogue was built in the Art Nouveau style.

Between 1849 and 1860 it was part of the Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar.

Yugoslavia and Serbia

Subotica had been part of Austria-Hungary until the end of World War I. In 1918, the city became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. As a result, Subotica became a border-town in Yugoslavia and did not, for a time, experience again the same dynamic prosperity it had enjoyed prior to World War I. However, during that time, Subotica was the third-largest city in Yugoslavia by population, following Belgrade and Zagreb.

In 1941, Yugoslavia was invaded and partitioned by the Axis Powers, and its northern parts, including Subotica, were annexed by Hungary. The annexation was not considered legitimate by the international community and the city was de jure still part of Yugoslavia. The Yugoslav government in exile received formal recognition of legitimacy as the representative of the country. On 11 April 1941, the Hungarian troops arrived in Subotica on the grounds that the majority of the people living in the city were ethnic Hungarians, which had been part of the Kingdom of Hungary for over 600 years. During World War II, the city lost approximately 7,000 of its citizens, mostly Serbs, Hungarians and Jews. Before the war about 6,000 Jews had lived in Subotica; many of these were deported from the city during the Holocaust, mostly to Auschwitz. In April 1944, under German administration, a ghetto was set up. In addition, many communists were executed during Axis rule. In 1944, the Axis forces left the city, and Subotica became part of the new Yugoslavia. During the 1944–45 period, about 8,000 citizens  (mainly Hungarians) were killed by Partisans while re-taking the city as a retribution for supporting Axis Hungary.

In the post-war period, Subotica has gradually been modernised. During the Yugoslav and Kosovo wars of the 1990s, a considerable number of Serb refugees came to the city from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo, while many ethnic Hungarians and Croats, as well as some local Serbs, left the region.

Cityscape

Unique in Serbia, Subotica and adjacent Palić have the most buildings built in the Hungarian Secession style, a distinct variant of Art Nouveau. The Hungarian Secession style was operational between the 1890s and World War I. Its designs combined art nouveau vegetal ornaments and symbolic figures with traditional Hungarian motifs. It found its architectural expression in Subotica in the works of Marcell Komor, Dezső Jakab and Ferenc Raichle.

The City Hall (built in 1908–1910) and the Synagogue (1902) are of especially outstanding beauty. These were built by the same architects, Marcell Komor and Dezső Jakab. Another exceptional example of art nouveau architecture is the actual Raichle Palace, which was built in 1904 by Ferenc J. Raichle.

Church buildings include the Cathedral of St. Theresa of Avila dating from 1797, the Franciscan friary dating from 1723, the Eastern Orthodox churches also from the 18th century, and the Hungarian Art Nouveau Subotica Synagogue from the early 20th century and its renovation was completed in the summer of 2019.

The historic National Theatre in Subotica, which was built in 1854 as the first monumental public building in Subotica, was demolished in 2007, although it was declared a historic monument under state protection in 1983, and in 1991 it was added to the National Register as a monument of an extraordinary cultural value. It is currently in the midst of renovation and is scheduled to open in 2017.

There are eight Catholic parish churches, a Franciscan spiritual centre (the city has communities of both Franciscan friars and Franciscan nuns), a female Dominican community, and two congregations of Augustinian religious sisters. The diocese of Subotica has the only Catholic secondary school in Serbia (Paulinum).

When the nuns' orphanage and children's home in Blato, Korčula (present-day Croatia) had exhausted the food and funds needed for helping poor and hungry children, Marija Petković (later known as Blessed Mary of Jesus Crucified Petković), went to
Bačka, whose apostolic seat is Subotica, to solicit help for orphans and widows. Bishop Ljudevit Lajčo Budanović asked Petković to found monasteries of her Order in Subotica and neighbourhood, so the locals could benefit spiritually from the instruction of the nuns of her Order. She learned that Bačka had many poor and abandoned children. In 1923, she opened Kolijevka, a children's home in Subotica. The home still exists but is no longer run by nuns.

Among other Christian communities, the members of the Serbian Orthodox Church are the most numerous. There are two Orthodox church buildings in the city.

The following table gives a preview of total number of registered people employed in legal entities per their core activity (as of 2018):

Education

Universities
Teacher Training Faculty in the Hungarian Language of the University of Novi Sad

Tutoring of teachers in Subotica dates back to the late 18th century. After the establishment of Austria-Hungary, the second state-financed teacher training faculty of Hungary was founded in Subotica, second to Buda only. Modern history of teacher training in Subotica started in 2006, when the Sombor Teacher Training Faculty's curriculums in the Hungarian language seceded from the faculty and became independent as the 14th faculty of the University of Novi Sad. As of 2022, the faculty offers bachelor's degrees in kindergarten teaching, elementary school teaching, disciplinatory teaching and communications, and master's degrees in kindergarten teaching and elementary school teaching.

Secondary schools
Polytechnic school, Surveying and Construction, Typography, Forestry and Wood Processing
Teachers' College, founded in 1689, the oldest college in the country and region
"Svetozar Marković" grammar school
"Dezső Kosztolányi" Philological grammar school
"MEŠC" Electro-mechanical school, recently renamed to "Tehnička Škola - Subotica" (en. "Technical School")

Infrastructure

A1 motorway connects the city with Novi Sad and Belgrade to the south and, across the border with Hungary, with Szeged to the north. It runs alongside the Budapest–Belgrade railway, which connects it to major European cities. As of November 2022, the line is out of order without replacement as both the Serbian and the Hungarian part of the line is currently being reconstructed. Subotica also has branch line railway connections to Sombor, Senta (with passenger service), and Szeged through Horgoš (under reconstruction with limited freight service, passenger service planned to commence in late 2023), while the former branch line to Baja through Csikéria was dismantled in the 1960s but parts of the derelict tracks are still visible in the city's northwestern outskirts.

The city used to have a tram system, the Subotica tram system, but it was discontinued in 1974. The Subotica tram, put into operation in 1897, ran on electricity from the start. While neighbouring cities' trams at this date were often still horse-drawn, this gave the Subotica system an advantage over other municipalities including Belgrade, Novi Sad, Zagreb, and Szeged. Its existence was important for the citizens of Subotica, as well as tourists who came to visit.
Subotica has since developed a bus system, operated by JP Subotica Trans, who operates eleven city lines, eight suburban lines, and thirteen interurban lines, as well as a single international line to Szeged. Per year the buses travel some 4.7 million kilometres, and carry about ten million people.

The city is served by Subotica Airport; its runway is too short for airliners, limiting usage to mostly recreational aviation. Southwest of the city there is a 218.5 metres tall guyed mast for FM-/TV-broadcasting. It is the tallest of its kind in Serbia and one of the tallest in the region.

Q: How to preserve object identity across different JVMs To be specific let me illustrate the question with Spring http-remoting example.
Suppose we have such implementation of a simple interface:
public SearchServiceImpl implements SearchService {
    public SearchJdo processSearch(SearchJdo search) {
        search.name = "a funky name";
        return search;
    }
}

SearchJdo is itself a simple POJO.
Now when we call the method from a client through http-remoting (Spring's mechanism of calling remote objects much like EJB that uses serialization) we'll get:
public class HTTPClient {
    public static void main(final String[] arguments) {
        final ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
            "spring-http-client-config.xml");
        final SearchService searchService =
            (SearchService) context.getBean("searchService");

        SearchJdo search = new SearchJdo();
        search.name = "myName";
        // this method actually returns the same object it gets as an argument
        SearchJdo search2 = searchService.processSearch(search);
        System.out.println(search == search2); // prints "false"
    }
}

The problem is that the search objects are different because of serializaton although from logical prospective they are the same.
The question is whether there are some technique that allows to support or emulate object identity across VMs.

A: IMHO attempting to preserve object identity equality across VMs is a losing proposition.
To the best of my knowledge the language specification does not require a VM to support that, so you would be limited in where you can pull off if you truly want to be portable.
May I ask why you don't just use some unique ID that you supply yourself? Java GUIDs, while expensive, are serializable.

A: You said it - object identity is different from logical equality.

*

*object identity is compared with ==

*logical equality is compared with .equals(..)
So override the equals() method and all will be fine. Remember to override hashCode() based on the same field(s) as well. Use your IDE to generate these 2 methods for you.
(Teracotta VM clustering allows sharing objects between VMs, but that doesn't fit your case.)

A: I did this once, but I'm not quite sure if this is a right approach:
Every user had a username, session id, roles, and a login date attached to a user object. Every time I logged into a VM the system would load a User object into memory; I would also return the user object to the application.
If I needed to execute an action within the application server, then I would send the user object as an argument. If the VM had the User loaded with the same session ID then it would use the object stored in the VM to know the assigned roles. Otherwise, the application would then be capable of changing the roles in the user and it wouldn't be secure.
If the application had to change the application server, then it sends the user object to the new server and the new server wouldn't be able to find the user within its records.
HERE IS THE SECRET: The session ID is created hashing the username, the login date and a secret password shared among all of the servers.
Once the new server finds that the session ID is coherent, then it would load the roles from the database as a reliable source of information.
Sorry if I couldn't write this before, but hope it helps for someone.

Reducing Road Toll needs more than Better Roads, Experts Say
Fatalities and serious injuries on Australian roads always have a cost. According to the Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities, that figure stands at $27 billion annually, and that is not counting the "devastating social impact."
Reducing the road toll has always been a major issue for the government. Over the years, the Australian federal and provincial administrations have fought to bring the toll number down and with significant results. The number of fatalities arising from road accidents in 2016, reported the Australian Automobile Association, was 1300, a significant decrease from 3798 in 1970. Better roads, safer cars and randomized breath testing have all contributed to these statistics.
'It's not enough'
However, experts have already noted that that will not be enough to bring down the road toll to the levels of countries like Sweden have achieved.
In January, DR John Crozier, a surgeon and one of the leading experts in the effort to curb the road toll stated that the answer lay in modernized methods such as autonomous braking systems. According to him, this would make it easier to meet the 30% reduction Australia hopes to achieve by 2020. Crozier remarked to the Guardian Australia, "We could more quickly than that." He pointed out that it was autonomous breaking would predictably reduce the number of crashes and the injuries and deaths associated with them.
Another solution offered was accurate reporting of data to facilitate implementation of road safety measures.
In 2016, the government pledged to give $150,000 annually to the Australian Trauma Registry for 3 years. The ATR consolidates data on all serious injuries in major trauma hospital across the country. This data is important to design measures to prevent car crashes in varying geographical and demographical environments.
A recent report by the Sydney Morning Herald showed that this was not being done. The paper reported that Crozier, along with fellow road safety expert Professor Jeremy Woolley, spoke at an ARRB online seminar about this lack of up-to-date, easy-to-aggregate statistics on injury numbers.
The government needs to avail this information for its 2020 plan of action to work, both experts concluded at the seminar.
