Paris Taxi Drivers Burn Tires, Flip Cars In Giant Protest Against Uber
By Claire Zillman / Fortune
In its five year history, Uber has made a lot of enemies. Some of its fiercest may be in Paris.
Cabbies on Thursday blocked roads to and from Paris airports and disrupted traffic on a major highway in opposition of Uber's service, which they say represents unfair competition.
AFP reported that cab drivers blocked access to three terminals at Charles de Gaulle airport, Paris's main transportation hub, and they were converging on Orly airport and train stations in the city. French media reports also showed cabbies overturning cars and burning tires in protest.
Parisian cabbies have staged similar protests in the past, and on some occasions they've turned violent.
Though they severely disrupted travel on Thursday, demonstrators won the support of France's Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve who ordered Paris police to issue a decree banning the activity of UberPOP, which uses unlicensed drivers in private cars to undercut existing taxis, Reuters reports. He also told local police chiefs and prosecutors to crack down on what he said was a failure by Uber to pay social and tax fees in France.

In October 2014, a law in France placed a ban on putting clients in touch with unregistered drivers, but Uber has challenged the rule saying it was unclear and infringed on the freedom to do business.
According to Reuters, Uber spokesman Thomas Meister said Cazeneuve was over-riding the normal legal process. "The way things work in a state of law is that it's for the justice to judge whether something is legal or illegal," he told the news agency.
The protests ensnarled at least one celebrity on Thursday. Courtney Love tweeted that demonstrators attacked the car she was in and held her driver hostage.
Luckily, she managed to escape.

Mr #31 - Smooth Criminal
Mr #31 was sadly another product of my post-Christmas date-lack panic, so once again there wasn't a tremendous amount of communication leading up to the date in question. But he seemed like a cheeky, chatty sort, and we had a few basics in common, taste in comedy included, so I said yay to a date.
Profession: Runs his own scaffolding firm
Random factoid: He's the first person I've ever met to own a Smart car. For some reason I'd always thought they were pretend...
I met Mr #31 outside the tube, and the first thing that struck me was that he was a textbook case for male pattern baldness, and that he'd been very careful to select only photos from his more hirsute days. Hmm. That said, he wasn't unattractive by a long chalk, he had icy blue eyes and an excellent arrangement of gnashers. Well done him. We pottered off to a pub, he installed himself at the bar on a quest for wine, and twenty minutes later, yes TWENTY, he emerged with a bottle of wine. I had had half an eye on him at the bar, and it was rather entertaining watching him get chatted up by some brassy blonde, and I'm pretty sure he slipped her his number as they were talking for a long time, and there was some mobile phone action. Hmm. Once he'd returned with the booze, I very soon realised quite what an Essex lad he was, which made me feel incredibly posh, and I did try my best to de-plum so I didn't feel quite so self-conscious. The conversation was great. We covered the life and times of the Mighty Boosh, random inventions, the cats versus dogs debate, playing the piano, and had a lengthy argument about the Top Gun soundtrack. I even did the Marley and Me test on him, which he scraped past (he did say he would watch it if it was on, but wouldn't choose to). I have to say I couldn't help noticing the tattoo of a girl's name on his wrist, but didn't quite have the balls to enquire whether it was an ex, a daughter or a deceased pet. I suspected the former. Before we knew it, we'd sunk a LOT of Sauvignon Blanc, it was time at the bar, and we had to go our separate ways. Not a bad evening. Or so I thought...
'Don't worry about needing to go for a wee, it happens to all of us.' Er, yes...yes it does.
So, all in all it was a rather pleasant night, no? Until it was time to say goodbye, when the following conversation occurred:
Mr #31: You getting the bus home then?
Me: Yes, the bus stop's just round the corner. You?
Mr #31: Actually my car's just parked round the corner
Me: Your car?
Mr #31: Yes
Me: But you're drunk
Mr #31: Yeah but I feel fine
Me: But you're over the limit
Mr #31: I'll be alright
Me: You shouldn't be driving. Why don't you hop on the tube?
Mr #31: I'll be fine, honest. I'll text you when I get in.
Er...that's not what I'm worried about! I'll tell you now, if I'd have seen his car, I would have rung up the police straight away and reported the fucker. Selfish, stupid, irresponsible bugger. In case you were wondering, he got in okay. Shame. I wish he'd been pulled over by the fuzz and taught a bloody lesson.
Dare you need ask? Had he been a good boy and hopped on the tube home, I would have considered seeing him again. I'm sorry, but drink driving is a deal-breaker of the highest order. I'm not sure if I'll hear from him again, I suspect he's feeling pretty sheepish now and rightly so. But if he does suggest another date, I shall be gracefully declining, and telling him exactly why.

Modern slavery and COVID-19: Guidance Note sets out increased risk from pandemic on global supply chain workers
By Cilla Robinson, Colin Chang and Grace Paton
Greater pressure on supply chains have increased the risk of modern slavery, and the need for Australian businesses to be more vigilant than ever – but there is some relief on reporting dates.
The significant and in many cases enduring impacts of the current global pandemic are not lost on anyone. Pay cuts, reduced hours, staff being stood down – or worse – retrenched are daily realities faced by Australian workers and business owners, but the global situation is more dire than many appreciate. In a recent report issued by the International Labour Organization concerning the economic impacts of COVID-19, it was estimated that an additional 63.9 million workers in the world will work in poverty as a result of COVID-19. These economic impacts have exacerbated the risks of modern slavery practices, with many global suppliers facing unprecedented financial pressures from the erosion of global consumer confidence, and unprecedented surges in production demands for speciality goods, including medical equipment and supplies.
Given this, the Australian Border Force has published a Guidance Note for large Australian entities on the preparation of their modern slavery statement under the Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act. The ABF Guidance Note also provides an example of a modern slavery statement which addresses, amongst other things, how the impacts of COVID-19 have shaped a business' response to identifying and addressing modern slavery risks in its supply chains.
In this article we'll set out the key takeaways from the ABF Guidance Note, and our own insights into managing the impacts of COVID-19 on modern slavery risks in supply chains across all industries. Reporting entities should also note the newly revised reporting dates set out below, which have been made to accommodate disruption caused by COVID-19.
How has COVID-19 impacted modern slavery?
With falling global consumer demand and confidence, COVID-19 has placed significant cashflow pressures on suppliers around the world, with many implementing extensive cost-cutting measures. These in turn are likely to result in hidden modern slavery practices. Conversely, some suppliers are facing unprecedented production demand caused by supply chain shortages for certain goods, including medical equipment and supplies.
All these factors, says the ABF Guidance Note, have increased worker vulnerabilities to exploitative labour practices, especially in the manufacturing industry. Delta 8.7 (the UN's Centre for Policy Research) recently found that:
"In Bangladesh, over 100 factories have lost business as retailers close stores and reduce orders. The apparel industry employs 4 million people in Bangladesh who are now either at risk of losing their jobs or in a situation of vulnerability due to loss of their steady income.
In Thailand, there are reports of a surge in demand from manufacturers in medical supply chains for cheap labour, targeting vulnerable migrant workers."
Changed dates for Modern Slavery statements
Another effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is the Australian Government's decision to extend some reporting dates by three months. The new dates are:
Entity's annual financial reporting period: 1 July to 30 June
First reporting period under the Cth Act: 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020
Due date for statement: 31 March 2021
Entity's annual financial reporting period: 1 January to 31 December
First reporting period under the Cth Act: 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020
Due date for statement: 30 June 2021
Entity's annual financial reporting period: 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020
First reporting period under the Cth Act: 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020
Due date for statement: 30 December 2020
How Australian businesses can respond to the heightened threat of modern slavery
While the ABF Guidance Note recognises that some businesses may not in fact be able to provide detailed responses in their first modern slavery statement, it stated that it is critical for businesses to clearly explain how COVID-19 has impacted its capacity to assess and address modern slavery risks in its modern slavery statement. It also makes it abundantly clear that business must continue to "take steps to assess and address modern slavery risks during the COVID-19 pandemic and that they report on these actions". Academic commentators have also explained that businesses have an important role in mitigating the risks of modern slavery within their global supply chains, as they often have the ability to alleviate some of the financial and operational pressures faced by suppliers.
The ABF Guidance Note encourages businesses to "take steps to protect vulnerable workers in their global operations and supply chains from the impacts of COVID-19" and to "integrate consideration of modern slavery risks into their broader response to the pandemic", including:
providing information about modern slavery risks to the board or executives as part of COVID-19 updates and using internal sustainability, human rights or modern slavery working groups to identify opportunities for action;
avoiding varying contracts unreasonably or seeking discounts from suppliers;
asking suppliers for information on steps they have taken to protect their workers from COVID-19, such as providing workers with protective equipment, providing sick leave or carers leave, and increasing cleaning in factories and buildings to minimise risk of infection;
identifying the risks arising from COVID-19, including those which have resulted from evolving supply chains and changing workforce structures;
ensuring supply chain workers are properly protected, including with access to support hotlines, appropriate protective equipment, leave and pay arrangements during periods of self-isolation, safe locations to self-isolate; and
facilitating worker education about modern slavery risks linked to the impacts of COVID-19.
To these, we would add:
consulting and working with their suppliers to understand any cost or production pressures they may be facing, including whether new or changed orders will require additional workers or additional overtime from current workers. Where a supplier is facing significant cost pressures, the business may consider innovative arrangements such as temporarily redirecting purchase orders to those particular suppliers, or where a supplier is facing surges in production demand, providing the supplier with an extension on delivery time frames;
continuing existing supplier due diligence and remediation processes such as issuing modern slavery questionnaires to suppliers and conducting any necessary supplier audits in the event modern slavery practices are identified. With any identified modern slavery incidents, businesses should work with those suppliers to address those incidents, rather than seeking to automatically terminate any supply contracts; and
collating information received from suppliers and undertaking a modern slavery risk assessment. As an example, if a supplier is in an industry with supply chain shortages such as in medical goods and equipment, this data may be used in any risk modelling undertaken by the business.
Overall, Australian businesses should take a collaborative approach in working with the suppliers to first understand and then address any incidence of modern slavery resulting from the economic impacts of COVID-19. As apparent from the ABF Guidance Note, collaboration with key stakeholders including suppliers, workers, business peers, investors, community, and peak industry bodies is key to addressing modern slavery and demonstrating that the business is serious about its obligations under the Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act.

id like to take some space here to say a little more about what makes this rhythm at once so distinctive and so deeply related to kindred rhythms. while american clave resembles several widespread rhythms that combine groups of 3s and 2s in order to produce a polyrhythmic effect, it is not nearly as widely distributed across the americas, the african diaspora, and musical history as, say, what in cuba would be called the tresillo:
generate a javascript file from your c source code.

use the latest clave gear and groovy shell.
haskell is an advanced functional programming language that is considered to be an oo-like language. its syntax is based on conventional algebraic data types with classes, and a mix of imperative and functional features. the language is designed to be simple and practical. haskell is the most widely used functional programming language today, thanks to the development of a package system that makes it easy to download and install haskell libraries.
haskellers use it to create software which is highly efficient, robust and reliable. in addition to the standard features of the language, we are pleased to offer several additional features that will make haskelling much more enjoyable. we are particularly proud of our focus on ease of use and helpful documentation. and we are especially excited about the potential for the language to become even more useful.
a iso-8859-1-compatible representation of unicode, designed to be human-readable and machine-readable, especially for use in applications that process text in the form of paths and filenames.
the original version of the unicode code charts was produced by the unicode consortium. the current version is unicode 4.1.0, released in 2004.
the unicode code charts include the full repertoire of characters of the iso 8859-1 character set, plus other characters from character encoding standards (such as unicode 3.1 and unicode 4).
the code charts are also available for unicode code points in the basic multilingual plane (bmp) only. for other planes, character sets and encodings, a reduced version is provided, restricted to bmp characters only.
ucs-2, the original version of unicode, has been superseded by utf-16. ucs-2 is described in unicode standard annex #2, "unicode transformation format", version 2.0, december 1999, together with ucs-2be and ucs-2le, two additional variants of ucs-2 which are backwards-compatible with ucs-2 and which can be used in conjunction with it.
the data is encoded in ascii-like format.
Now we could argue that American clave has been pretty well documented to not begin with in U.S. popular music, but the fact of the matter is that the aforementioned trends (and those discussed below) have made it all but impossible to ignore and have possibly rendered moot much of what was once accepted as evidence. The future of the two-stroke engine is now increasingly being worked out in North America and Europe. It has also been a major influence on popular music in the U.S. for many years. Listening to American automobile music from the 50s and 60s shows a variety of means of taking heavy current sources (including ideas about downbeat versus offbeat, imitation of Tin Pan Alley, and other performance stylistic features) and adapting them to the automobile form and automobile engines. (Notably, the music of Nashville, Kentucky is based in large part on the folk tradition of the Appalachian region and is rather unlike the newer sounds of Country music, which may well owe something to the classic American gospel tradition.)
And of course, many if not most of these instruments had been in use for centuries elsewhere and the latter instruments in the minor key, might almost be considered a true sequel to the old continental clave.
A document that tries to trace the history of the word clave is interesting, but ultimately hopeless. The one historical reference I can find that refers to clave in an American context indicates that a seguidor (one who follows) in Cuban clave is clave-reclamo, from "" clave = follower. Thus the word that is now being use in American culture has its origin in a Spanish word that has not been used in America for that interval of time. But how little of the word clave has any meaningful root in the Cuban clave, and even less in the earlier Spanish clave for which Damerau is certain. Probably the most significant link between Cubana clave and American clave is the Bo Diddley beat. Some of the music called clave is the backdrop to a genre called orquesta tresillo, perhaps the most familiar early Cuban clave.

Determination of Obviousness/Inventive Step- Indian Approach
Submitted by invntreepatentinvntreepatent onMay 15, 2013 No comments
Patentability requirements
For an invention to be patentable:
it has to be novel (new)
it has to involve an inventive step (non-obvious)
it has to be industrially applicable (can be made or used in an industry)
Apart from satisfying these criteria, the invention should also not fall under the category of non patentable subject matter, as per Section 3 of the Indian Patent Act.
It is important that before applying for a patent, one tries to ascertain whether the proposed invention satisfies all these criteria for the successful grant of a patent for a proposed invention. The criteria related to novelty and industrial applicability are generally regarded as being well defined and understood based on the definition provided in the Act. However, the concept of non obviousness or the presence of inventive step in a proposed invention is still under debate among the patent office, courts and patentees.
Indian defining of "Invention" – History and Evolution
First definition, 1972
"Invention" means any new and useful-
(i) art, process, method or manner of manufacture;
(ii) machine, apparatus or other article;
(iii) substance produced by manufacture.
and includes any new and useful improvement of any of them, and an alleged invention.
As can be seen above, the phrase "inventive step" was not even included in the definition.
Second definition, 2002
(i). "invention" means a new product or process involving an inventive step and capable of industrial application;
(ii) "inventive step" means a feature that makes the invention not obvious to a person skilled in the art.
The phase "inventive step" was included in the definition of "invention". Further, the phrase "inventive step" was also defined.
Current definition, 2005:
(ii) "inventive step" means a feature of an invention that involves technical advance as compared to the existing knowledge or having economic significance or both and that makes the invention not obvious to a person skilled in the art.
The definition of the phrase "inventive step" was amended to broaden the scope of "inventive step".
"Inventive Step" as laid by the Indian Patent Act
The term "inventive step" plays a vital role in deciding whether a patent should be granted to a proposed invention.
As per sec 2 (l) of the Patents Act, a new invention means any invention or technology which has not been anticipated by publication in any document or used in the country or elsewhere in the world before the date of filing of patent application with complete specification, i.e., the subject matter has not fallen in public domain or that it does not form part of the state of the art.
In 2005, India, for the first time, defined as to what constitutes an "inventive step" by incorporating a new provision in the definition section of the Patents Act. Section 2(1)(ja) of the Act defines "inventive step" to mean "a feature of an invention that involves technical advance as compared to the existing knowledge or having economic significance or both and that makes the invention not obvious to a person skilled in the art".
If an invention lacks the presence of an inventive step, then, this deficiency can be considered as valid grounds for opposition for the grant of a patent, under section 25 (1)(e) and 25 (2)(e) and for revocation under section 64 (1)(f) of the Act.
Bishwanath Prasad Radhey Shyam v. Hindustan Metal Industries: Case Law Interpretation on Inventive step
This case can be considered to be the most important case in interpretation of inventive step in the Indian jurisdiction. Though the case was decided in 1978, the principles laid down in the case are followed even today and have been codified in the Indian Patent Act.
The plaintiff (Hindustan Metal Industries, a registered partnership firm carrying on the business of manufacturing brass and German silver utensils at Mirzapur) in this case claimed to have invented a device and method for manufacturing utensils, introducing improvement, convenience, speed, safety and better finish, in the old prevalent method which was fraught with risk to the workers, in as much as the utensils used to fly off from the headstock, during the manufacturing process. The plaintiff got the invention patented, as an assignee, under the Indian Patent and Designs Act, 1911 on May 6, 1951 with effect from December 13, 1951. In September1952, the plaintiff learnt that the defendant (Bishwanath Prasad Radhey Shyam, a concern carrying on the business of manufacturing dishes and utensils in Mirzapur) was using and employing the method under the former's patent. The plaintiff served a notice upon the defendant asking him to desist from infringing the plaintiff's patent and further claim damages for Rs. 3000. The validity of the patent was challenged by defendants on the ground of lack of novelty and inventive step and also filed a counter claim praying for the revocation of the plaintiff's patent on the same ground. A division bench of a district court of Allahabad started its analysis of inventive step and after considering the prior art in the case, stated that the patented invention was merely an application of an old invention, known for several decades before the plaintiff's patent, which was no more than a workshop improvement. The court as a result had issued the petition for revocation on the patent. The plaintitiff made appeals to a division bench of the High Court, where the appellate bench concluded that the method of manufacture did not involve any inventive step or novelty. Furthermore, as the invention was publicly used by the patent holder before the date of filing of the patent application, the Court observed that the novelty of the invention was negated. In the light of its analysis, the court concluded that the invention lacked novelty and inventive step.
Assessment of Inventive Step
If, a product or a process is novel, the next question that arises is "Is the approach obvious and if it not then what is the depth of the inventive measures taken by the inventor". To determine obviousness is to find out whether the person, with ordinary skill in the art, would have come up with similar innovation for the technical problem under similar circumstances without being provided with the solution.
Since the Patents Act (1970) was brought into force, there have been a few cases in India that have dealt with the obviousness issue extensively. The Supreme Court held that obviousness has to be strictly and objectively judged. The Supreme Court further recognized that obviousness is something that is a natural suggestion of what was previously known.
A test to determine whether a document can negate the existence of inventive step is as follows:
Had the document been placed in the hands of a competent craftsman (or engineer as distinguished from a mere artisan), endowed with the common general knowledge at the 'priority date', who was faced with the problem solved by a patentee but without knowledge of the patented invention, would he have said, "this gives me what I want". To put it in another form: "was it for practical purposes obvious to a skilled worker, in the field concerned, in the state of knowledge existing at the date of the patent to be found in the literature then available to him, that he would or should make the invention the subject of the claim concerned?"
Novartis v. Union of India case law interpretation on Obviousness
Novartis filed an application for grant of patent for chemical compound called Imatinib Mesylate which is a therapeutic drug for chronic myeloid leukemia and certain kinds of tumours and is marketed under the names "Glivec" or "Gleevec" at the Chennai Patent Office on July 17, 1998. In the application it claimed that the invented product, the beta crystal form of Imatinib Mesylate, has more beneficial flow properties better thermodynamic stability and lower hygroscopicity than the alpha crystal form of Imatinib Mesylate and further claimed that the aforesaid properties makes the invented product novel. The patent application had attracted five (5) pre-grant oppositions in terms of section 25(1) of the Act. The Assistant Controller of Patents and Designs heard all the parties, on December 15, 2005, as provided under rule 55 of the Patent Rules, 2003, and rejected the appellant's (Novartis) application for grant of patent to the subject by 5 (five) separate, though similar, orders passed on January 25, 2006 on the opposition petitions. The Assistant Controller held that the invention claimed by the appellant was anticipated by prior publication, i.e., the Zimmermann patent; that the invention claimed by the appellant was obvious to a person skilled in the art in view of the disclosure provided in the Zimmermann patent specifications. The Supreme Court of India rejected Novartis patent plea on April 1, 2013
Person skilled in the art
Obviousness is judged based on the hypothetical construct of a "person of ordinary skill in the art". The person of ordinary skill in the art must:
belong to the relevant field.
look at the prior art from a position of his personality, considering his/her interest in risk taking.
be well aware of the fact that even a small structural change in a product or in a procedure can produce dramatic functional changes.
The person of ordinary skills in the art must be given the problem and asked whether he can solve it. This is what is referred to as the 'Hindsight Element'. Obviousness is not established by drawing a line from the solution to the problem, or by finding the explanation for how the inventor did it. It is not permissible to look at the invention and try and figure out the logic behind it and then look for prior art documents which support disclosures throwing light on such logic. Therefore, the person of ordinary skill in the art would constantly be conditioned by the prior art and, before taking action, would carefully ponder any possible modification, change or adjustment against the background of the existing knowledge.
India has been witnessing an increase in patent enforcement activities. Going forward, one can anticipate much more refined tests for determining the presence of inventive step in inventions. It is recommended that patent practitioner keep themselves educated about this fascinating topic of "inventive step/obviousness" and provide informed opinions.

Q: Why is my handleChange method being rejected by React? I am trying to do a simple form task to try and learn React Forms but I am having a hard time understanding the syntax of it.
When I try the following code it works no problem:
import React, { useState } from "react";

function InputForm() {
  const [emailValue, setEmailValue] = useState("");

  console.log(emailValue);

  return (
    <>
      <form>

          Email:
          <input
            type="text"
            name="input"
            value={emailValue}
            placeholder="type your email"
            onChange={(e) => setEmailValue(e.target.value)}
          />

        <button type="submit" name="test">
          Submit Email
        </button>
      </form>
    </>
  );
}

export default InputForm;

However, when I try to clean it up so that there is not logic within the return, I get an error when I define my handleChange method.
import React, { useState } from "react";

function InputForm() {
  const [emailValue, setEmailValue] = useState("");

  handleChange(e) {
    const { name, value } = e.target;
    setEmailValue({ [name]: value });
  };

  console.log(emailValue);

  return (
    <>
      <form>

          Email:
          <input
            type="text"
            name="input"
            value={emailValue}
            placeholder="type your email"
            onChange={handleChange}
          />

        <button type="submit" name="test">
          Submit Email
        </button>
      </form>
    </>
  );
}

export default InputForm;

Can someone please explain why doing it this way doesn't work? The error I'm getting is that React is not expecting the { bracket after handleChange(e)... so the console error messages are useless in trying to figure out why it's not accepting it.
Thanks!

A: It's not React rejecting anything, it's just that, well, that's not correct JavaScript syntax.
You'll want
function InputForm() {
  const [emailValue, setEmailValue] = useState("");

  const handleChange = (e) {
    const { name, value } = e.target;
    setEmailValue({ [name]: value });
  };

  // ...

(and even so you're mixing and matching state types -- you have a state atom that's ostensibly a string (since you initialize it with a "") and then you assign an object into it... You may be looking for setEmailValue(value); there.)

'Fiscal cliff,' 'spoiler alert,' and 'boneless wings' all made a list of overused terms and phrases that is compiled annually by Lake Superior State University.
President Barack Obama pauses as he speaks about the fiscal cliff, Monday, in the South Court Auditorium at the White House in Washington. 'Fiscal Cliff' was one of the words on Lake Superior State University's list of overused terms and phrases.
As we ring in a new year, it might be a good time to ring out some tired old words and phrases.
That's the theory behind the new "List of words to be banished from the queen's English for misuse, overuse and general uselessness," which a Midwestern university issues each year in an effort to dispense with some of the worst verbal clutter.
Topping the 38th annual list is "fiscal cliff," the phrase that Americans nominated, more than any other this year, to be nixed from our everyday vocabulary. Are you listening, Congress?
The problem, of course, is that just saying certain words should be expunged doesn't mean they will be.
As people complain about hearing "fiscal cliff" and related budget jargon too often, it's worth noting that "deficit reduction plan" made the banished-word list back in 1991, and "sequestration" in 1987. Those will probably continue to surface in the language whenever budget pressures are the big topic in politics.
Still, at a time when people are communicating more than ever thanks to social media, it's useful to get this annual vocabulary critique, which is issued by wordsmiths at Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., each year.
How about picking one or two items from that list and banishing them from your communications? And we all might think of additional clichés or imprecisions to start avoiding.
Plenty of phrases that were fit to be banished in years past have indeed largely faded out. Examples include "happy camper" (from the 1993 list) and "been there, done that" (1996).
Don't be surprised, though, if efforts to banish certain items are unsuccessful. Past lists have included "absolutely!" (1993), "political reality" (1983), and "cult classic" (1989). Over the past year, the adjoining of "political" and "reality" has occurred more than 1,000 times in major newspapers alone, according to the Nexis database.
To help get the next list going, here's a suggestion: Maybe prose writers can refrain from highlighting a big thought by putting a period after every word in what once would have been a sentence (as in, "Please. Stop. Writing. Like. This.").

X-38 being jettisoned from a B-52.
On March 12th, 1998 the first free-flight of the X-38 (CRV) was accomplished. The X-38 was developed from the Martin Marietta X-24, a lifting body design pioneered by Dryden Flight Research Center in the 1960s and 1970s. The goal of the X-38 project was to provide a means for astronauts on the ISS a way to return to earth in the event of an emergency.
X-38 Design
In 1995, development of the X-38 began. The project was managed by NASA Johnson Space Center and in early 1996 a contract was awarded to Scaled Composites for the construction of three full-scale atmospheric test airframes. They were built of materials such as fiberglass and graphite epoxy and strengthened with steel and aluminum at stress points. Three prototype X-38s used in the atmospheric flight testing program were 24.5 feet long, 11.6 feet wide and 8.4 feet high. Vehicle weights ranged from 15,000 pounds to about 25,000 pounds. They were approximately 80 percent of the planned size of the CRV. In September 1996, the first airframe was delivered to Johnson Space Center for testing.
In July of 1997, several captive-carry flights were undertaken to study the X-38's aerodynamics while attached to the wing pylon of a B-52. Two free-flights were performed in March of 1998 and February of 1999 to study launch characteristics and also to assess the operation of the parachute. Testing continued until the X-38 program was cancelled on April 29th, 2002.

When we're perplexed, it helps to dig down in the roots – and this goes for language, too. One of my favorite lessons from divinity school was a casual conversation about the root words for Bravery and Courage.
The root for brave is linked to a front or face. Bravery is a kind of armor, a game face, an outer shell of strength.
The root for courage is coeur, the French word for heart. It is strength from within, strength of the heart. A totally different root.
It is brave to quietly persevere. It is courageous to speak up.
It is brave to forge a new path. It is courageous to continue when no one's cheering you on.
It is brave to be busy. It is courageous to be still.
It is brave to shout. It is courageous to listen.
It is brave to hold back tears. It is courageous to let them flow.
Dear friends, we have been trained to be endelssly brave.
Let's train for courage now.
I gave a little talk this fall at the amazing PopTech gathering which featured this theme – here is a short clip, along with many other highlights from that weekend.


Here is a fantastic plan to put the world's economy — and human livelihood — back on the right track!
HOW MANY have been told that the Gospel — the good news that Jesus Christ brought — involves the total restructuring of the world's economy?
And enjoyable ways of earning a living?
Why have so few religious leaders told you these things? Is it because they don't know, or believe it?
There is a cause for today's economic ills. A cause for unemployment. A cause for inflation, economic depression and trade wars that throw so many out of work with no place to turn. God is sending Jesus to this earth a second time — this time to strike at the causes of these problems and eliminate them.
What is the first step Christ will take to straighten out world problems? He will remove the primary source causing world problems: And this source is not physical or material.
Christ will first dethrone and chain Satan and his evil host of demons so they cannot deceive the nations anymore (see Rev. 20:1-3). Without this step world peace is not possible. But no human government knows that!
War making is one of the greatest curses on humanity. But, under God's government, this major cause of economic insecurity, job disruption and misappropriation of limited human and material resources will be forcibly stopped.
"And he [Christ] shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords [military hardware] into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more" (Isa. 2:2-4).
Notice the new economic focus. It will be based in agriculture, in the soil, in producing abundant food and building materials, not in machines for war and conquest.
Today, most nations are burdened with huge defense and military outlays. Some defense outlays eat up as much as half of government budgets while agriculture and essential economic sectors languish for funds. These military outlays are in defense of competitive world ideologies — capitalism and communism — neither of which have solved nor can solve the economic injustices in this world.
Notice the prophecy of Zech. 3:10."In that day [after God's government is established on earth], says the Lord... every one of you will invite his neighbor under his vine and under his fig tree" (RSV).
"The wilderness and the solitary place... and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.... Say to them that are of a fearful heart [that's much of humanity today], Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come... he will come and save you... in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water..." (Isa. 35:1, 4, 6-7).
And families will keep their precious inheritance of agricultural and productive land fertile. How? By resting the land — letting it lie fallow — every seventh year (Lev. 25:1-7). Soil will not be eroded or mined out.
And God's law of elimination of short-term debts every seventh year (out of a fifty year jubilee time cycle) will give debtors a chance to start afresh. God will pour blessings on those who forgive such debts (Deut. 15).
And the year of jubilee, the 50th year of the cycle, will be a time of the most joyous occasion of all. It's when everyone who has had to sell part or all of the family inheritance can repossess it without cost (Lev. 25).
But there's even more good news! Right agricultural practices will produce ever more abundant crops. "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall over-take the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed... and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them" (Amos 9:13-14).
And yet another fantastic blessing! God will control the weather to back up his promised blessings for obedience."... if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand..." (Deut. 28:2, 12).
No more will nations subject to God's government suffer great natural disasters, such as floods, earth-quakes and hurricanes. No more will natural disasters wipe out great segments of their economy and inflate the cost of remaining food supplies and resources.
"Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice. Each will be like a hiding place from the wind.... The fool will no more be called noble, nor the knave [churl or ill-minded person] said to be honorable" (Isa. 32:1, 2, 5, RSV).
Criminal and corrupt thoughts will be discouraged by reeducation before they become a habit of thinking in human minds."... yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers [spirit members of the God family manifested in human form]: and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left" (Isa. 30:20-21).
True justice will reign at last.
"Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, [nor] wasting nor destruction within thy borders" (Isa. 60:18).
Under God's government, money, at last, will have stable and reliable value. Great wealth will flow in to God's throne on earth from all nations to be used for the good of others (Isa. 60:17). Monetary stability will be further established because it will be based on God's everlasting, unchanging government, and on God's enormous and endless power to prosper the economies of obedient nations.
God's law reveals how the widow, fatherless and needy should be locally taken care of (Deut. 14:28-29). The massive welfare state as we know it today will not exist. If an able man won't work, neither shall he eat (II Thess. 3:10).
God's law, the Ten Commandments, and God's Word, the Bible — which amplifies the intent of God's laws — will be the basic guide of how humans ought to conduct all social and business relationships. Nations won't need endless and complicated bureaucracies, regulations and laws to govern every human action. Honesty, truthfulness, fair prices, service and safety will be expected in all business and social relationships.
Trade among nations will exist. But it won't be cutthroat competition. People will produce and sell high quality goods at fair prices.
Business and smaller industry will certainly exist. "Beating swords [war machinery] into plowshares" involves industrial capacity. Production of toil-saving smaller farm and other equipment will continue. But men and women won't be slaves to some industrial assembly line. Many individuals may only work part-time to produce such equipment.
Industries that do exist won't be permitted to be giant polluters of the environment. Whatever industrial pollution exists will be controlled to provide safeguards to workers and to the environment — or those industries won't exist at all.
Tomorrow's world will use non-polluting and natural energy sources in an effective way. Totally rebuilt communities and nations will be able to begin anew from such an energy base. A much more agriculturally based world will not need the vast quantities of oil that are consumed today. Whatever energy sources are used will be environmentally safe.
In all human production and activity the emphasis will be on quality, not quantity or cheapness. Lasting quality goods conserve resources and energy over the long run. Today's consume-quickly-and-throw-away society will be no more. Reusable materials will be recycled.
God will heal the sick, blind, maimed and mentally damaged. "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened [by God's healing power], and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing.." (Isa. 35:5-6). No more millions of nonproductive hopeless lives or incurable diseases.
Everyone will know what it means to experience love from others. All will be taught to respect all other humans — regardless of race — for their incredible human potential. Every nation will be given its own land to develop the special talents and abilities God has given to each.
What a different world! At last, millions will experience the fulfillment of Christ's promise, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).
God will first give a nation the chance to accept or refuse his ways. The consequences for repeated refusal to obey are indicated in Zech. 14:16-19.
Christ said the kingdom, or government, of God would be like leaven in a lump of dough (Matt. 13:33). It would gradually spread throughout the whole earth. God expects those who have learned and prospered from God's ways to teach and help others less fortunate. Prosperous and successful individuals will not devote their whole lives to accumulating more and more wealth for themselves.
Education, at last, will be universal. There will be a universal language to understand God and his ways (Zeph. 3:9). No more will religious, political and economic confusion and strife be permitted to divide nations and lead humans into hate, animosity and war.
... for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea" (Isa. 11:9).

homepage image: Fall 2017 Diane Marek Visiting Artist Sonnenzimmer (Nick Butcher and Nadine Nakanishi) speak with students and community about their process during their exhibition in the Cress.
Diane Marek recognized the importance of the visual arts in all lives as art proved to her to be a "glimpse" to a path beyond oneself and a means to image a new personal frame through the inspiration of the vision of another.
Established in 2006, the Series now brings an average of two to four artists of national and international reputation to Chattanooga yearly for visits of five to seven days for events each academic semester.
All Diane Marek Series Artists appear in association with an exhibition of their work in the Cress Gallery supported by the Friends of the Cress Gallery.
Diane Marek artists present a public talk, and participate in a program of both one-on-one and group activities with UTC Department of Art student majors, members of the University's campus, students and educators from other Chattanooga area academic institutions, and the citizens and artists of the Chattanooga community and beyond. The Diane Marek Visiting Artist Series provides the region with a provocative level of exposure to contemporary artists and artistic production encompassing a full range of media and aesthetics. This exposure spans demographics and geographic boundaries to address the broader essence and significance of today's artistic investigation, practice, and expression.
Exhibitions in the Cress and all Diane Marek Series events are open to the public. Admission is free.
Currently on hiatus for the 2018-2019 academic year, the Diane Marek Visiting Artist Series is a meaningful and cherished program at UT Chattanooga. All at the Cress and the University are grateful to the Marek family for the opportunity and enrichment this Series has provided our students, our community, and our participating artists.
Diane Marek Series Visiting Artists from 2018 to 2005: Michi Meko, Sonnenzimmer (Nick Butcher and Nadine Nakanishi), Conrad Bakker, Sangram Majumdar, Amy Elkins, Carmen Papalia, Monica Cook, Greg Smith, Keetra Dean Dixon & JK Keller, Michelle Segre, Michael Scoggins, Summer Wheat, Matthew Deleget, OKAY Mountain, Wendy White, Ian Pedigo, Nicholas Kahn & Richard Selesnick, Michael Vasquez, Rose Freymuth-Frazier, Rob Nadeau, Jered Sprecher, Jade Townsend, Sarah Wagner, Johnston Foster, Christine Gray, Mark Andreas, [dNASAb], Ryan Wolfe, Norman Lundin, Dannielle Tegeder, Roger Ricco, Frank Wick, and Joe Ramiro Garcia.

Bonavista est une ville de la péninsule de Bonavista dans la province canadienne de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador. Sa superficie de . La ville est réputée se trouver à l'emplacement où Cabot aurait touché terre en juin 1497, ce qui en fait la première terre d'Amérique du Nord touchée par un Européen depuis les Vikings. Au recensement de 2006, on y a dénombré une population de 3 764 habitants.

Histoire
Jean Cabot, pilote vénitien ayant convaincu le roi Henri VII de rechercher un passage du Nord-Ouest vers les Indes, obtint en 1497 une commission pour faire appareiller depuis Bristol, un navire, le Matthew. Lorsqu'après 6 semaines de traversée, Cabot aperçut une terre, il se serait écrié : « O buon vista! », d'où le nom du Cap Bonavista, et de la ville actuelle. La baie était trop exposée aux courants du large, et lorsqu'on y établit un port, il fallut construire plusieurs brise-lames. Bonavista devint au  une des villes les plus importantes de Terre-Neuve de par la proximité des Grands Bancs et des possibilités de chasse au phoque au nord de la péninsule. Si au cours du , Espagnols, Portugais, Français et Anglais pêchaient tous au large du Cap Bonavista, la présence des marins ibériques déclina à partir de 1580, laissant l'exploitation exclusive aux Français et Anglais.

La tension entre ces deux nations donna lieu à des affrontements réguliers, dont le point culminant fut l'échec des Français pour incendier Bonavista en 1704. La zone française exclusive du petit nord, dont Bonavista marquait la pointe extrême, fut dessinée aux termes de la Paix d'Utrecht en 1713 ; pour autant, les droits de pêche demeurèrent la pomme de discorde entre les marins des deux pays. C'est à Bonavista qu'en 1722 le Rev. Henry Jones ouvrit la première école de Terre-Neuve.

Bonavista était un comptoir commercial important, comme en témoigne la halle aux poissons des Ryan Premises, un Lieu historique national du Canada géré par Parcs Canada.

Le statut de Bonavista s'accrut par l'arrivée du siège du syndicat des pêcheurs, le Fisherman's Protective Union dans les années 1900, et la création de la communauté voisine de Port Union. À son apogée, entre 1891 et 1901, la péninsule de Bonavista abritait une population de près de  habitants. Avec le déclin du marché de la morue séchée, les salaisons de Bonavista Cold Storage Co., se sont reconverties en centre d'exploitation halieutique.

It's been real
Microsoft is no longer producing Xbox One consoles
The company stopped making the console at the end of 2020.
Microsoft has stopped manufacturing Xbox One S consoles in order to focus on the production of Xbox Series X/S.
News of Xbox One production ceasing was confirmed by Microsoft to The Verge.
The company stopped making Xbox One X back in July 2020, but Xbox One S manufacturing continued until the end of the year.
The news comes on the heels of a Bloomberg report stating that Sony is continuing to produce its PS4 console despite planning to end manufacturing at the end of last year. Is it said the company will continue to produce the console due to PS5 shortages, and that one million units will be made this year.
Speaking of shortages, there is still a shortage of Xbox Series X consoles, but there doesn't seem to be much of an issue acquiring an Xbox Series S. At least in some places.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer told The Verge after the launch of Series X/S in 2020, that Microsoft manufactured more Xbox Series X consoles than Series S, but, there is also a steady stream of Series S consoles arriving on the market. This is because it can "build more of the Series S [chips] in the same [chip] die space" as it can for the Series X.
In December 2021, Xbox Series X/S sales in the UK crossed over the one million units sold mark, and sales were up 108% thanks to more stock being made available.
Spencer also recently stated that Microsoft has sold more Xbox Series X/S consoles than any previous version of Xboxes. Now, it just needs to "meet the demand" of the consumer base.


Desiree Verdejo has always had a love of beauty goods, so much so this Harlem-native quit practicing law after seven years to jump into entrepreneurship. She opened Vivrant Beauty in Harlem in 2015 offering up a wide selection of skincare, haircare and cosmetic products catering to women of all skin tones, nationalities and hair textures. Vivrant Beauty carries beauty goods from major and independent product lines.
?I'm a self-professed beauty junkie so exploring products was already a past-time when I began curating the products for Vivrant Beauty's shelves. My major interest in beauty recently has been in the amazing opportunities that indie brands, Black founders and women have created for themselves in that arena. I was drawn to this world of beauty entrepreneurs that are still defining the space,? says Verdejo.
Vivrant Beauty also offers such services as make-up application and eyelash extensions.
?One huge way that we stand apart is that we cater to women of color, ensuring that we have products for all hair types and skin tones. We also are committed to making sure that many of the products on our shelves are person of color owned,? notes Verdejo. ?We compete with unique curation that says that we understand what?s new and effective in the beauty space- be it the green beauty space, the natural hair space, etc. We also have the unique advantage of really understanding our customer and being able to cater to her in a way that has not been impressively done in the past.
Vivrant Beauty bestsellers include: natural hair products by Briogeo, vegan liquid to matte lip pens by Gold Label Cosmetics, and skincare products by Youth to the People (made with kale, spinach and green tea in all of their products.
?Our main business goal for the year is to continue to build our brand awareness,? shared Verdejo.

Shroud of Turin, Could it be Real?
For good reason, many of us look at relics and historic religious artifacts with great skepticism. The Shroud of Turin, which many Christians assert to be the burial cloth of Jesus, should be viewed with the same critical eye…and it has been. Arguments against the relic contend it surfaced in the mid 13th century or later, possibly created by some artist, perhaps Leonardo De Vinci; radiocarbon dating performed in 1988 concluded the Shroud was not old enough to be relevant in the discussion of Jesus of Nazareth; and the color of the blood stains is too bright for an artifact that is 2000 years old.
With these conclusions, why does the Shroud continue to receive attention? Honest investigation into the history and analysis of the Shroud reveal a fascinating mystery that cannot be so easily dismissed. The Shroud should not be relied on as a foundation for Christian faith, but it continues to draw our attention. There are valid concerns, challenging questions, and competing positions to be considered, and they must be approached with a skeptical eye and objective study.
The Shroud of Turin is a historical anomaly, a scientific puzzle, a Christian relic, and a crime scene that piques our curiosities and demands our attention.
This week's post is the first in a series that dives deeper into the study of the Shroud. Each week, we will explore a new field of study that informs our understanding of the Shroud, culminating with my lecture at Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church on March 21st. Your comments on these posts will help shape that presentation, and serve as a starting point for attendees to discuss and explore further following the lecture. Thank you for your input!

When you choose virtual private server (VPS) hosting, your website is on a shared server, but with the benefits of dedicated hosting. Your account is partitioned off from the other users sharing the server so, there's no overlap of resources. This allows you to have more flexibility to customize your server software. We recommend VPS hosting for users with resource-intensive websites that require more customization like ecommerce sites.
