The Supreme Court Collegium has recommended that twenty three Additional Judges from the High Courts of Madhya Pradesh (18), Chhattisgarh (2), Jharkhand (2) and Karnataka (1) be made permanent.
The Judges from Madhya Pradesh High Court, who have been recommended to be made permanent are Justices Atul Shreedharan, Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari, Vivek Rusia, Anand Pathak, Ved Prakash Sharma, Jagdish Prasad Gupta, Anurag Kumar Shrivastava, Housla Prasad Singh, Ashok Kumar Joshi, Vivek Agarwal, Nandita Dubey, Rajeev Kumar Dubey, Anjuli Palo, Virender Singh, S.K. Awasthi, Vijay Kumar Shukla, G.S. Ahluwalia, and Subodh Abhyankar.
Justices Sanjay Agrawal and Rajendra Chandra Singh Samant have been recommended to be made permanent Judges of the Chhattisgarh High Court. Justice Anil Kumar Shukla had also been recommended by the High Court. He has, however, since attained superannuation.
Justices Ananda Sen and Anant Bijay Singh have been recommended to become permanent Judges of the Jharkhand High Court.
As regards Karnataka High Court, the Collegium recommended that Justice G. Narendar be made permanent, despite the fact that the High Court collegium had only recommended that the Judge's term be extended for another year.
"While making this observation, we have duly taken note of the fact that the High Court Collegium while recommending extension of his term as Additional Judge has not placed on record any material for not recommending him for appointment as Permanent Judge though a permanent post is available," it opined.

The Evolution of Markets and the Revolution of Industry: A Quantitative Model of England's Development, 1300-2000

This paper argues that an economy's transition from Malthusian stagnation to modern growth requires markets to reach a critical size, and competition to reach a critical level of intensity. By allowing an economy to produce a greater variety of goods, a larger market makes goods more substitutable, raising the price elasticity of demand, and lowering mark-ups. Firms must then become larger to break even, which facilitates amortizing the fixed costs of innovation. We demonstrate our theory in a dynamic general equilibrium model calibrated to England's long-run development and explore how various factors affect the timing of takeoff.

Budding science researchers showed off their work at the annual Northeast Colorado Regional Science Fair held Tuesday at Northeastern Junior College.
This year's fair, which was directed by Sonya Shaw, featured projects from 27 students at six different schools, including: Liberty High School, Yuma High School, Liberty Junior High, Peetz Junior High, Yuma Middle School and Idalia Junior High.
During an awards program, Shaw commended all the students for their hard work, telling the senior competitors, "I don't ever remember the senior placings being so close," and sharing with the junior competitors, "You guys did excellent work, the judges commented on how good of projects you guys put together."
Taking Best of Fair in the senior division was Logan Klein, of Yuma; runner-up was Emily Idler, from Liberty; and second runner-up was Paul Brophy, of Yuma. Klein qualified to compete at the International Science and Engineering Fair, May 12-17, in Phoenix. Idler and Brophy will be able to go as observers.
Other tip finalists in the senior division were: Danae Beauprez, Yuma, fourth place; Ingacio Baixas, Liberty, fifth place; Tyson Lichty, Liberty, sixth place; Cooper Godfrey, seventh place; Cody Robinson, Yuma, eighth place; and Sydnee Roth, Liberty, ninth place.
All nine finalists qualified to compete at the Colorado State Science Fair, April 11-13, at Colorado State University. Fees from the regional science fair will be used to pay their registration fees for state.
The Director's Choice Award for the senior division went to Lucy Day, of Yuma.
In the junior division, Best in Show went to Bridger Lynch, Yuma, followed by William Noble, Yuma, second place; Caddis Robinson, Liberty, third place; Tyler Hall, Idalia, fourth place; Aaron Bernhardt, Peetz, fifth place; and Logan Breyer, Liberty, sixth place. They also qualified to compete at the Colorado State Science Fair.
Director's Choice for the junior division went Tyler Hall (Idalia).
For Emily Idler, a junior at Liberty High School, this was her second time at the science fair, having competed when she was in junior high. She was able to be able to fit the science fair into her schedule this year so she could come back and do it again.
When it came to deciding on a topic for her project, Idler looked to her future career aspirations of becoming a trauma surgeon in the Navy. Realizing that in combat fighting there are numerous deaths caused by the amount of blood loss, she decided to develop an improved blood clotting method. Idler found that by incorporating technologies such as gels, an improved blood clotting agent can be developed for use in trauma situations.
But she's not stopping there; Idler plans to further her project for next year's science fair.
Another student from Liberty High School, sophomore Tyler Hase, studied how to reduce power outages. This was his second time at the science fair; he competed when he was in junior high.
"It's a fun thing to do. You get to research things and spend time with friends," Hase said.
Realizing that electricity is very important in today's world and that it keeps people safe, he decided to look at how to reduce power outages. Among his findings was that ice is a major component to causing power outages. His recommendations to prevent power outages include: Coat wire in various substances to reduce ice formation; eliminate factors that will change the outcome of wire flexibility; test flexibility of wire multiple times and average the outcome; and test the conductivity of wire in various weather conditions.
Hase said he'll probably participate in the science fair again next year.
For William Noble, a sixth grader at Yuma Middle School, this was his first time competing in the science fair, but it wasn't his first time doing a project. He created a science project last year for practice.
"I like to learn about things," he said, when asked about why he likes science.
For his project this year Noble looked at how accurate DNA testing in cattle is. His idea for the project came from his family's ranch; he wanted to find out if the DNA testing is accurate to make sure his family is putting their money to good use. Noble found that DNA testing is pretty accurate.
Noble said he plans to compete in the science fair again next year and will expand on this year's project.
This was also Colton Howell's first time competing in the science fair.
"I thought it would be something new to try," the eighth grader from Peetz Junior High said when asked about why he decided to enter this year.
For his project Howell decided to use his love of music and study sound waves. He looked at what happens if parts of an earbud are removed and found that each part depends on one another to create sound, so when one part is removed from the system, sound will fail to be produced.

Implementing an electronic meter does not have to be a complex endeavor. The examples shown in this article reduce each of the meter types down to a pulse counter on a microcontroller (MCU). Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a typical counter found on a MCU.
Meters are classified in terms of the accuracy of their measurements. It is typical, for example, for a mechanical energy meter to have an accuracy of better than 2 percent. By comparison, an average electronic meter may have accuracy down to 0.2 percent. The virtue of having a MCU in the design is that the accuracy is a function of the software parameters. A single hardware platform can be developed to support various levels of accuracy, and allows for a streamlined production and economies of scale for both the manufacturer of the meter and the utility company that deploys the meter into the field.
The typical mechanical meter has many moving parts. Over time, these parts may need to be re-aligned or adjusted to bring the meter back into compliance. This would usually involve removing the meter and returning it for calibration. The equivalent electronic meter may also require calibration due to aging of components. However, the use of non-volatile memory (EEPROM or Flash) in MCUs provides a convenient method of storing and updating calibration information, and can even be designed to self calibrate.
One of the largest problems, globally, with utility metering is theft. In many cases, a meter is tampered with to alter the measurement. Theft is mostly found in energy meters and can take many forms. Depending on the type of meter, some meters can be inserted backwards causing the energy counter to decrement rather than increment. Also, older meters with rotating disks made of steel were susceptible to magnets slowing down the rotation speed, thereby causing incorrect energy measurement.
Once tampering has been detected, several actions can be taken by the meter. If the meter controls the application of power, it can remove power to the load. Another alternative is to note that a tamper condition has occurred and to light an indicator or send a message to the utility company, if the meter has a communication mechanism.
One of the biggest benefits of electronic meters is the addition of automated meter reading (AMR). Considerable savings can be realized by removing the human element from the process of recoding usage. This process is labor intensive, prone to human error (or even bribery) and a source of inconvenience for both the customer and the meter reader, depending on the location of the meter at the site.
Some AMR advantages can be obtained simply by communicating with a handheld device (via IrDA™ protocol or RF up to several hundred feet away). While this does not eliminate the need for an operator to visit each location, it ensures that the readings are accurate and speeds up the process considerably. Additionally, the ZigBee Alliance is developing a metering profile that is intended to make it easy for manufacturers of water, gas, heat and energy meters to interoperate and send usage data through one communication medium.
As metering process automation increases, so does the need for secure data storage and communication technology. Privacy and integrity for the data being collected by the utilities is of great importance. This can be achieved via internal data EEPROM on the MCU itself or by using an encryption algorithm to store the data externally. The second concern is secure communication of the usage data. Here again, there are several encryption algorithms and handshaking that can be used to ensure the secure transfer.
Electronic meters have been billing based on Time of Use (TOU). TOU sets up periods during the day that are identified as on-peak (high usage) and off-peak (low usage). There are several benefits of TOU billing. First, customers can be offered lower pricing when usage occurs in the off-peak periods. Second, TOU billing will naturally shift more usage away from peak periods, due to the higher costs charged to customers during that period. The amount of investment to provide new utility distribution infrastructure is quite high. TOU billing helps to shift demand away from the peak periods and maintain a consistent capacity for an increasing demand. To implement TOU billing, the meter needs to have a Real Time Clock and Calendar (RTCC) to track the usage throughout the day. Electronic meters can easily implement the RTCC functionality in software or use an external device.
The newest addition in billing is the ability to pre-pay for energy usage. This is primarily implemented through energy meters. The customer will purchase finite units of energy ahead of time on magnetic cards. These cards are placed in the meter, which enables the meter to supply energy for the specified load and time period. Pre-payment reduces the cost of billing and collections for the utility company and also helps some customers to plan their monthly costs.
All of the aforementioned billing options depend on the base utility meter. It may seem that the development time could be increased because of two developments: the basic meter and the new features like anti-tampering, AMR, security and billing. Later, this article explains how the basic meter design is reduced to a simple pulse counter and most of the development effort is spent on the user interface. Most MCUs have the capability to clock an internal timer through an I/O pin. Some of these MCUs can clock the timer while the device is in a low-power mode and wake up when the timer overflows. This provides the best flexibility because gas, water and heat meters may not have a local source of power, instead relying on battery power.
Gas and water meters are the simplest meters to design. Because of the mechanics involved in measuring the flow of gas or water, the outputs are usually a rotating shaft (as found in gas meters) or a spinning magnet (in water meters). Figure 2 shows the block diagram for a gas meter. The gas meter has a slotted disc on the output shaft and a corresponding opto-reflector that outputs a stream of pulses. Each pulse represents a known quantity of gas. Water meters tend to have rotating magnets inside the meter and hall-effect sensors are used to output pulses every time the magnet passes. Both of these pulse streams can be connected to the clock input of a counter inside the MCU.
One of the challenges associated with gas and water meters is that there are typically no line-power sources close to the meter. This means the meter has to run off battery or solar power. Solar cells are quite expensive and create additional mechanical costs to mount. The solution is to use a low power MCU that can count pulses, periodically record the data to non-volatile memory and upload the information once a month for billing. The example shown in Figure 2 is one of the PIC16F9xx devices from Microchip Technology. These devices have 4 - 8Kbytes of Flash program memory, up to 336 bytes of RAM, 256 bytes of data EEPROM, an internal 8MHz oscillator, 10-bit A/D, I2Cд port, SPIд port, USART, 28 - 64 pins and can drive up to 168 pixels (4 COMs x 46 SEGs). These features coupled with low power operation (0.5 uA typical @ Sleep, 190 uA typical @ 1 MHz) provide an ideal MCU for battery-powered gas and water meters.
Depending on the area and country you are living in, your heating may come from hot water being pumped through a radiator. A heat meter contains a little more complexity than gas or water because of the thermodynamics involved with calculating energy usage from temperature and flow. A heat meter measures the temperature of the water both on the entrance to the radiator and the exit from the radiator. It also measures the flow rate of the water through the radiator. Based on these measurements, the MCU calculates energy usage via thermodynamic formulas. Figure 3 shows an example heat meter.
To keep costs low on heat meters, a MCU can be used to calibrate and signal condition the temperature sensors. These are typically RTDs or similar devices that are designed to withstand immersion in liquids. The calibration table to convert the analog output of the sensor into a linear temperature can be stored on the MCU. The flow meters used in heat meters are similar to those found in water meters and have pulse outputs.
Heat meters have an additional challenge not faced by gas or water meters. Heat meters are located inside the customer's residence, not outside like gas and water. Without AMR, someone must be home to let the meter reader in to record the energy usage. An MCU-based heat meter can easily implement some type of RF to allow meter reading without the customer at home. The example shown in Figure 3 also uses the PIC16F9XX devices because of the low-power operation and integrated LCD module.
Perhaps most of the focus on electronic meters has been with energy meters. Theft in developing countries has been, and continues to be, the most prevalent force driving electronic meters. Not only is the meter tampered with to reduce the displayed energy usage, but the meter readers are susceptible to bribes to record less energy. A completely electronic meter with some sort of automated meter reading can save significant amounts or revenue for the utility company.
The largest challenge with energy meters is the requirement needed to accurately record energy usage. As mentioned before, some manufacturers require down to 0.2 percent accuracy. The meter also needs to handle large inductive loads like those found in refrigerators, HVAC, washers and dryers. For these reasons, MCU- or discrete-based solutions provide the best solution for designers. Fortunately, several manufacturers offer both types of devices. In the interest of keeping it simple, the discrete device provides the interface to the load and power source, the engine to measure current and voltage and calculate energy usage, and the simple pulse output. Figure 4 shows an example using the PIC16F9XX device for the MCU and the MCP3905 from Microchip Technology to measure energy usage. The MCP3905 offers 0.1 percent typical accuracy, negative power indication and support for shunt resistors on current measurement. The energy output is designed to drive 2-phase stepper motors found in mechanical displays, but can also easily drives a MCU counter input.
Compared to their mechanical brethren, electronic utility meters offer small, robust, more accurate solutions that provide anti-tamper circuits and methods to increase revenue for utility companies and lower costs to their customers. Using electronic solutions, such as those from Microchip Technology, can help reduce the complexity of the meter design, down to counting pulses. This allows designers to focus on the features that facilitate data collection and billing. For solutions to gas, water, heat and energy meters, visit Microchip's online Metering Design Center.

Former Interior Department Official Warns Against Keeping National Parks Open During Government Shutdown
The north entrance to Yellowstone National Park at Gardiner, MT on January 21, 2018. During the previous shutdown, visitors were allowed to enter the park with the understanding that there would be no government services.
By Alejandro de la Garza
December 23, 2018 11:26 AM EST
A former United States Department of the Interior official warned on Friday that keeping U.S. national parks open during the partial government shutdown can be dangerous.
Tim Fullerton, who served as director of digital strategy for the Interior Department from 2010 to 2015, saw firsthand the effects of the 2013 government shutdown over President Obama's Affordable Care Act.
"As someone who worked @interior during the shutdown in [2013], let me tell you how dangerous this is," Fullerton tweeted on Friday.
Fullerton warned of possible dangers to visitors and local law enforcement, who may be deployed to parks with rangers on furlough. He also cited potential for serious damage to the parks themselves.
"If someone falls, gets lost or has any issue in a National Park or wildlife refuge, they're on their own," Fullerton tweeted.
He warned against using local law enforcement to replace park rangers during the shutdown, saying it was a strategy of Republican representatives during the 2013 shutdown who wanted to keep their parks open.
"I can't tell you how many Republicans from the House called our office to keep parks open because they knew the shutdown they created would hurt them at home," Fullerton wrote. "They wanted police or sheriffs to man the parks with rangers on furlough. But they don't know the area or terrain, so it's still very dangerous to do that. They're playing with fire here and it's incredibly unsafe."
In addition to possible dangers for police and visitors, Fullerton also cited the potential for major damage to the parks themselves.
"[Keeping parks open] also puts our parks at risk. No one to protect against damaging sensitive habitats, landscapes or historic sites. And trash will be a serious problem that will damage our public lands," Fullerton wrote.
During the current government shutdown, the National Parks Service has kept parks open to visitors while ceasing to provide visitor services, including restrooms and trash collection, according to the 2018 National Park Service Contingency Plan.
According to the plan, "the National Park Service will take all necessary steps to suspend all activities and secure national park facilities that operate using appropriations that are now lapsed, except for those that are essential to respond to emergencies involving the safety of human life or the protection of property."
The current partial government shutdown began at 12:01 a.m. Saturday after the White House and Democrats were unable to reach an agreement over funding for President Trump's border wall. The shutdown affects roughly one quarter of the Federal Government, leaving 800,000 federal employees without pay.

December 17 is Wright Brothers Day, commemorating the first successful flights in a mechanically propelled airplane. Let's take a closer look!
In the early part of the 20th century, three members of the Wright family were among the most famous individuals in the country (if not the world). Orville and Wilbur's patented flying machine demonstrations on both sides of the Atlantic brought thousands of people to fields to watch them fly.
Their schoolteacher sister Katherine flew more than any woman of her generation. The three of them stand together in this 1910 photo from the Library of Congress. If you want to see the Wrights' original patent drawings, they're available online via the Mississippi State University website.
David McCullough's new book, The Wright Brothers, presents the brothers as ordinary men with extraordinary focus, determination and passion. Many men of their generation tried to perfect manned flight, but Orville and Wilbur Wright were first to actually do it.
Their exploits even influenced a fashion trend. When Mrs. Hart O. Berg accompanied Wilbur Wright on a flight in 1908, she tied her scarf around her dress at the ankles to keep it in place. It's possible that the French fashion designer Paul Poiret saw Mrs. Berg and Katherine Wright tie down their skirts. He created a short-lived style known as the Hobble skirt.
It was difficult to walk in these narrow skirts. This postcard calls it a speed-limit skirt because women could take only baby steps. If you see a photo of an ancestor wearing a skirt of this design, you'll have a narrow time frame for an image of 1910 to 1913.
Our ancestors had fashion icons that influenced everyday dress. Both Orville and Wilbur Wright dressed neatly for their flights. Wilbur always wore a high-necked collar with a tie, a jacket and a cap. While full-crowned caps were available before the Wrights took flight, they increased in popularity throughout the second decade of the century and beyond. The style of the brim and crown changed in later decades.
Watch for these fashion trends in your family photos from the circa 1910 period. If your ancestor passed on stories of seeing the Wright brothers in flight, please let me know.

The original treatment for PCOS, proposed by Stein and Levanthal in 1935, was bilateral wedge resection of the ovaries which surgically removes a large amount of ovarian tissue. This met with remarkable success regarding resumption of ovulation but was abandoned due to the high probability of inducing pelvic adhesions and the advent of medical means of inducing ovulation.
Today the same effect of decreasing the amount of active ovarian tissue can be achieved by 'drilling' holes in the ovaries – laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) by diathermy or laser and this method now presents a further treatment option for women with anovulatory infertility associated with PCOS. No less than 4 and no more than 10 punctures to a depth of 2-4mm on each ovary should be made according to the size of the ovary. The main advantages of ovarian drilling are a very high prevalence of a single ovulation in each cycle and therefore a significant reduction in multiple pregnancy rates compared with gonadotrophin therapy, a reported reduction in miscarriage rates and the fact that it is an often successful "one-off" procedure which may avoid the use of expensive medical therapy and the exclusion of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
If ovulation is not forthcoming within 2-3 months following LOD, then ovulation induction can often be more successfully employed than preceding the operation with clomifene or FSH if clomifene fails to induce ovulation. Follow-up after LOD showed that 49% conceived spontaneously within a year and a further 38% within 1 to 9 years following the operation. Women with anovulatory PCOS who are of normal weight and have high LH concentrations seem to have the most favourable prognosis. LOD should not be employed merely for the treatment of other symptoms of PCOS.

'Shrugged' set to expand soon
By Christian Toto Apr 18, 2011 12:49 PM ET
The market place has spoken … and the film version of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" will soon be playing at a theater near most of you.
"Atlas Shrugged" opened over the weekend on a relatively small number of screens – 299 to be exact – but ended up with the third highest box office per-screen average of any release behind "Scream 4" and "Rio."
Not bad for an indie film with no big stars, little marketing punch beyond Tea Party-approved groups and some withering reviews.
Movie-goers, on the other hand, seem to dig it. Visitors to Fandango.com mostly raved about the movie, and 85 percent of users checking in at RottenTomatoes.com approved of the screen adaptation.
The real test comes soon when the film expands to 1,000 theaters which should happen later this month. If the expansion succeeds, there's a good chance we'll see the second and third installments of what was planned as a trilogy based on Rand's iconic 1957 text.
Christian Toto is the editor of HollywoodInToto.com — "The Right Take on Entertainment." He's an award-winning journalist and movie critic whose film reviews are heard on radio stations across the country. He co-hosts Denver's Mike Rosen at the Movies radio show on KOA NewsRadio as well as the weekly "Hollyweird" segment on The Michael Brown Show.

Жозеф Монье де Куртуа () (29 марта 1745, Бурк-ан-Брес — 30 января 1818, Бурк-ан-Брес) — французский военный и  конца XVIII — начала XIX веков.

Выпускник Королевской инженерной школы в Мезьере. Получил звание лейтенанта 1 января 1770 года, капитана 1 января 1777 года. В 1784 году принимал участие во французской военной миссии, организованной королём Людовиком XVI, которая оказывала военную помощь Османской империи с 1784 по 1788 год. Жозеф Монье де Куртуа преподавал фортификацию и военное инженерное дело в военно-инженерном училище Мюхендисхане-и Хумаюн (), основанном великим визирем Халилом Хамидом-пашой. Преподавание, как и все учебники по математике, астрономии, механике, оружию, тактике ведению войны и методам навигации были на французском языке. Вернувшись во Францию 24 марта 1788 года Жозеф Монье де Куртуа был удостоен Ордена Святого Людовика. В составе революционной армии принимал участие в революционных событиях 1792, 1793 годов. Участвовал в осаде бельгийского города Наймура в 1792 году и голландского Маастрихта в 1793. 31 мая 1793 года генерал Кюстин присвоил капитану де Куртуа звание генерала-адъютанта и назначил его командующим  (назначение не было формально утверждено военным министром ).

10 августа 1793 года Жозеф Монье де Куртуа был арестован по приказу члена Комитета общественного спасения Бийо-Варенна. Вскоре освобождённый из под стражи, 17 декабря 1793 года де Куртуа был восстановлен в звании батальонного командира и послан снова в Турцию в ранге артиллерийского специалиста.

После возвращения из Турции 30 марта 1797 года работа де Куртуа была отмечена членами Директории, 16 июля 1797 года он получил звание командира бригады и назначение командиром инженерных войск в Ницце. 24 ноября 1801 года де Куртуа был назначен директором фортификационных работ в Ницце. Награждён Орденом Почётного легиона 11 декабря 1803 года и произведён в магистры ордена 14 июня 1804 года.

Член Коллегии выборщиков департамента Эн, де Куртуа вышел в отставку 23 января 1806 года и поселился на своей малой родине Бурк-ан-Бресе. Награждён званием Рыцаря Империи 28 января 1809 года.

Жозеф Монье де Куртуа умер 30 января 1818 года в Бурк-ан-Бресе.

Two Pesos, Inc. v. Taco Cabana, Inc.
Two Pesos, Inc., Petitioner v. Taco Cabana, Inc.
505 U.S. 763 (more)
112 S.Ct. 2753; 120 L. Ed. 2d 615; 1992 U.S. LEXIS 4533
Taco Cabana Int'l, Inc. v. Two Pesos, Inc., 932 F.2d 1113 (5th Cir. 1991)
Proof of secondary meaning is not required to prevail on a claim under § 43(a) of the Lanham Act where a trade dress at issue is inherently distinctive
White, joined by Rehnquist, Blackmun, O'Connor, Scalia, Kennedy, and Souter
Two Pesos, Inc. v. Taco Cabana, Inc., 505 U.S. 763 (1992), was a United States Supreme Court case where the Court held that Two Pesos, Inc. infringed upon the trademark of Taco Cabana, Inc. by copying the design of their restaurants.[1] Writing for a majority of the court, Justice Byron White concluded that trade dress is inherently distinctive under the Lanham Act and that plaintiffs are not required to prove secondary meaning in suits to protect their trademark.[2] The Court upheld an award of $3.7 million in damages, and Taco Cabana ultimately acquired all of Two Pesos' assets in 1993 for $22 million.[3]
1.1 Lanham Act protections for trademarks
1.2 Initial lawsuit
2 Opinion of the Court
3 Subsequent developments
Lanham Act protections for trademarks
The Lanham Act prohibits "the deceptive and misleading use of marks" to protect business owners "against unfair competition."[4] The Act defines trademarks as "any word, name, symbol, or device or any combination thereof" used by any person "to identify and distinguish his or her goods, including a unique product, from those manufactured or sold by others and to indicate the source of the goods, even if that source is unknown."[4] A trademark is considered "distinctive and capable of being protected" if it "either (1) is inherently distinctive or (2) has acquired distinctiveness through secondary meaning."[5] However, a claim for trademark infringement requires "proof of the likelihood of confusion."[6]
Initial lawsuit
In 1978, Taco Cabana, Inc. began operating a chain of Mexican-style fast-food restaurants in San Antonio, Texas.[7] Taco Cabana described the decor of their restaurants as "a festive eating atmosphere having interior dining and patio areas decorated with artifacts, bright colors, paintings and murals."[8] The interior of the restaurants featured a "patio capable of being sealed off from the outside patio by overhead garage doors."[9] In December 1985, Two Pesos, Inc. opened a restaurant in Houston, Texas with a trade dress similar to the one used in Taco Cabana's restaurants.[7] Two Pesos' operations expanded rapidly, but the chain never opened a restaurant in San Antonio.[7] However, in 1986, Taco Cabana opened restaurants in Houston and other markets in Texas where Two Pesos operated restaurants.[7] One year later, Taco Cabana sued Two Pesos in federal district court for trade dress infringement under the Lanham Act and for theft of trade secrets under Texas common law.[10] Both the district court and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit agreed that Two Pesos deliberately infringed upon Taco Cabana's trade dress, and Two Pesos appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States.[11]
A Taco Cabana location in Dallas, Texas
Writing for the majority of the Court, Justice Byron White held that a distinctive trade dress is generally entitled to protection under the Lanham Act because users of a trade dress "should be able to maintain what competitive position it has and continue to seek wider identification among potential customers."[12] Justice White noted that trade dresses, "even if not registered, remain inherently capable of distinguishing the goods of the users of these marks."[13] Additionally, a business owner that copies a trade dress "may be seen as falsely claiming that his products may for some reason be thought of as originating from the plaintiff."[13] Justice White also held that the Lanham Act did not include a secondary meaning requirement for trade dress, concluding that "a secondary meaning requirement for a nondescriptive trade dress would hinder improving or maintaining the producer's competitive position."[14] Furthermore, he concluded that a secondary meaning requirement would have anticompetitive effects because a competitor could "appropriate the originator's dress in other markets" prior to the establishment of the secondary meaning and "deter the originator from expanding into and competing in these areas."[15] Consequently, the Court ordered Two Pesos to pay $3.7 million in damages to Taco Cabana.[3] Justice Antonin Scalia wrote a concurring opinion,[16] while Justice John Paul Stevens and Justice Clarence Thomas wrote opinions concurring in the judgment.[17]
Subsequent developments
In November 1992, Taco Cabana filed another lawsuit against Two Pesos seeking $5 million in damages for not complying with the Supreme Court's ruling and for creating further confusion among customers. Two months later, Taco Cabana agreed to buy Two Pesos' assets for approximately $22 million.[3] Richard Cervera, president and chief executive officer of Taco Cabana, stated that converting Two Pesos' restaurants to Taco Cabana restaurants would be "aided by the very striking physical resemblance of the two chains."[18]

Guns, Cyborgs and Tomato Sauce – Meet the Masebrothers' 'Cyborg – Deadly Machine'
The sad reality as of today, dear reader, is that France could not disregard sci-fi and fantasy movies any more than it does if it tried. For a country known for its rich culture in animation, the film industry in the land of cheese, wine
Robin Ono
The sad reality as of today, dear reader, is that France could not disregard sci-fi and fantasy movies any more than it does if it tried. For a country known for its rich culture in animation, the film industry in the land of cheese, wine and bread has grown to lose all ambition beyond the confines of family comedies and slice-of-life drama films. As barren a landscape as it may seem to those with an undying thirst for fantasy and wonder, geek culture lives on and thrives on its own means in France, thanks to its dedicated fans who have taken to the internet to create, experiment and innovate far beyond what their film industry would dare to even consider making. Our case and point here is the terrific work by the Masebrothers from Toulon, a team of Youtube creators with a passion for Eighties and Nineties pop-culture and corny jokes.
Having loved their previous, action-packed short Rage of Fire II, we were thrilled to hear that the guys are back at it and ready to take their craft to the next level. Retro-heads, meet Cyborg – Deadly Machine, the Masebrothers' latest love letter to Eighties Action Sci-fi flicks, a love letter to James Cameron's Terminator… with a tomato-flavoured twist! The guns are loaded and the pasta-water is on the stove, however, the Masebrothers are in need of your help to get their dream project to life, which is why they have set up a Kickstarter page to call upon your interest and support for this project. As we further enquired about the project, we took the opportunity to ask Masebrothers co-founder Mathieu Caillière about the channel as well as the project.
First off, can you say a few words about your background as a collective?
We're a bunch of buddies that make short-films. Two years ago, we decided to start a Youtube channel and make videos dedicated to Eighties and Nineties pop-culture. We basically wanted to do work on something related to the whole Retrowave culture, whether it be music, films or retro-revival TV series.
Masebrothers is basically three creators: Jérémy Vazzoli who has a graphic design background, myself (Mathieu Caillière) –a graphic designer who does a bit of 4D Cinema, VFX and film post-production, – and Sébastien Petitjean, with whom I createdthe channel and who is also a graphic artist. Sebastien does the writing and I'm more on the directing, editing and special effects sides of things.
At which point did you realize you wanted to work within the whole Eighties and Nineties pop-cuture aesthetic?
We're actually Eighties kids. I'm thirty-five and we're all around the same age, so it's what we knew when we were kids. We're paying homage and recreating the candor of our childhood, how we heard music and how we saw movies back in the day. It's basically a tribute born out of our love for that era.
The credits in your videos and short-films indicate that you all have a large set of skills. Were there any that you were recquired to learn on-the-fly?
We do work on many aspects, but we keep learning with each shoot we do. Our limited means of production forces us to think of new, smart ways of moving forward and overcome constraints. Of course, it would be great to have more resources and more people to guide us along, but we also learn a lot this way. I did study editing though, so I already knew that. I started making movies when I was in middle-school, so my first steps in filmmaking were with me playing with my dad's film camera when I was a kid.
Your videos feature a whole lot of old props and accessories. Were these part of your collection or did you have to hunt down some of these objects for your purpose of the videos?
Actually, we've had to buy a lot of things – like old TVs', old dial-up telephones and radios, because we unfortunately didn't keep everything from back then. We also got a lot of things from our families. We're very fond of vintage action-figures we used to play with when we were kids, so some of those were part of our personal collection that we kept in our dusty cardboard boxes. We made a trailer called Toys War, where we only used action figures. There were basically X-Men and GI Joe figurines fighting together. We used some of our own and bought a few more for the film. It was part of our little passion as collectors.
Are there any props you're still looking for? Some things that are hard to come by?
We've had trouble finding a good Sony Walkman Cassette Player. They're hard to come by and they're really expensive to buy online nowadays. There were also these watches with TV screens on them. It would be awesome to find one of those. Those are also outrageously priced, they're collector's items. If we manage to get one of them, we'll obviously make a film based around them [laugh].
Moving on to the main subject: Cyborg – Deadly Machine. What is it about and what are your ambitions for the project?
Cyborg –Deadly Machine is the story of a bunch of a Resistance-faction that's fighting against machines. The atmosphere is very similar to James Cameron's, only here we have some pretty eccentric characters on board. The Resistance is led by this female warrior called Stacy who, on her way, meets our main-man Alex, a guy who is fixated on making tomato sauce in a world where tomatoes have pretty stopped growing. Together, they will find a way to fight against the machines, all the while being tracked by an ultra-sophisticated, deadly Cyborg.
Cyborg – Deadly Machine is a tribute to Eighties and Nineties Sci-Fi and Action films. It's a continuation of what we do on the channel with our sketches, fake-commercials, fake trailers and short films. Last year we release a short called Rage of Fire II dedicated to action films and retro-gaming, and this time around we wanted to pay tribute to the Sci-Fi genre, namely the Terminator franchise that we grew up on and its technical aspects. A lot of these films were done with mostly practical effects. We'd like to work with more traditional means, such as animatronics and model-sets to create our universe. The idea is to use the old means to shoot the film with our own means. That's what we want it to look like, anyway. There will still be some digital effects for things like gunshots and explosions for budgetary reasons, but we'll be using animatronics for the Cyborgs in the film, for instance. The film will be roughly twenty to thirty minutes long. That's what we're aiming for with the Kickstarter project, anyway.
How did the tomato sauce storyline come to be? It sounds like you had a lot of fun during the writing process.
[laugh] The film is pretty serious from a visual perspective, but here at Masebrothers Productions we've got a thing for humor and the absurd. We're not making fun of Eighties films but rather we're having fun with their common tropes. We wanted to go for something a bit more light-hearted, thus came the whole idea with the tomato sauce. It's about a quest for flavor, in a barren, post-apocalyptic world that has lost all flavors, where it's all about survival and robots ruling over everything. Alex's way of being consists in seeking things that remind him of humanity, symbolized to him by tomato sauce. He's also followed around by a little robot, who will be adding to the film's comic relief.
Your Youtube channel combines sketches in both English and French. What made you decide to start shooting these short films in English?
We launched the channel with a film called Kickin' Jack, which we filmed exclusively in English. We were really marked by the big, buff voices we used to hear in American blockbuster movie-trailers, more so than those we'd hear in French. We wanted to use them in our films. We're heavily influenced by American pop-culture and Asian films like those made by John Woo, and we wanted to do a throwback to the way we perceived them at the time. Some of our sketches are in French because all of our short-film are done in English because we weren't sure we were going to gather an audience for them in France. Given that we followed certain channels like NewRetroWave, we figured there's a larger audience that would be interested in what we do, namely thanks to films like Kung Fury that really helped in getting the ball rolling. We thought it would be more fun to branch out beyond French audiences, even if we do sometimes shoot sketches in French because it's also part of our culture.
Is your DIY approach more of a personal choice or rather the result of a perceived lack of interest from production studios?
I don't think we'd be of much interest to producers. We didn't go see any, and I can't really think of anyone we could conceivably work with. It's not like we're Christophe Gans [rire]. We're pretty low-level, so it's a little complicated. We've always done things this way. We've often stitched things together ourselves. We've gone through a few official procedures for the project but it's tricky. We figured the best way to get this project off the ground would be to turn towards the Retro community and to our loyal fans.
How did you meet your music collaborators, Meteor and Fixions, with whom you will be once again working on Cyborg – Deadly Machine?
I believe I first came across Meteor through NewRetroWave [laugh]. I got in touch with him around the time I was starting to work on Kickin' Jack, as I had fallen in love with his first album Parallel Lines. I was a huge fan of his work and so I offered to make a music video for one of his songs called 'Escape the Fate', and the video actually ended up on the NewRetroWave channel, actually. Our collaboration started from there. He was also a fan of our work and when it came time to make Kickin' Jack he gave us his consent to use the music from his album and he really appreciated it. Up until now we just used his songs for our videos. We also used his second album Inner Demon in Rage of Fire II. It only seemed natural to work with him again, as I'm a huge fan of his and I really want to get an original score for the project.
For Fixions, it was actually him who contacted us first. We didn't know who he was but we later found out that he was the guy who made the soundtrack to Mother Russia Bleeds. We eventually hit it off and became really good friends. Furthermore, he also lives around my area so he also participates in the making of our videos.
I think the pair will really add something to the project through their complementary styles. Meteor is rather Synthwave/Outrun-driven, whereas Fixions is sounds more Darksynth, which will go well with the whole post-apocalyptic decorum and the machines in the film.
Closing off : can you name one of your favorite albums, movies and books?
The Killer by John Woo, Inner Demon by Meteor and The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
Any closing words?
Cyborg –Deadly Machine is a project we're really passionate about. We believe we'll be able to make something really fun and special. We really want to work with these Synthwave artists and we hope that you will find some cool stuff on our Kickstarter page and that you'll dig it. Keep listening to Synthwave and 'Stay Cool, Stay Retro!'.
Be sure to check the 'Cyborg – Deadly Machine' Kickstarter page here if you wish to know more and support the project.

Wahl pleads guilty to DUI
October 17, 2019 at 5:00 am | By Keith Kinnaird
SANDPOINT — The former executive director of the Festival of Sandpoint has pleaded guilty to driving under the influence, court records show.
Diana Marion Bendix Wahl entered a plea to the misdemeanor criminal offense on Oct. 2, during a civil court proceeding regarding the status of her driving privileges.
Wahl, 56, was arrested outside her home after her driving raised the suspicions of a Sandpoint Police officer on patrol on Aug. 11, according to a police affidavit. Wahl was unable to complete field sobriety tests and was further charged with resisting arrest after refusing to obey the officer's commands.
A blood test indicated that the concentration of alcohol in Wahl's system was 0.20, which is more than twice the legal limit to drive of 0.08, according to court records.
Wahl was subsequently fired from her position as the Festival's executive director, a post she held for 21 years.
Deputy Prosecutor Nick Lepire recommended the standard punishment for a first-offense DUI charge — three days on the sheriff's inmate labor program, a substance abuse violation, compliance with treatment recommendations and a $100 reimbursement to the Idaho State Police lab.
Wahl's defense counsel, Coeur d'Alene attorney Michael G. Palmer, said his client was celebrating the completion of the annual summer concert series on Lake Pend Oreille and made the poor choice to drive home.
"This offense has cost her that position so she's currently looking for other work, which may actually have her relocating out of the area," Palmer said.
Wahl declined to address the court before the sentence was imposed.
"I'll rely on the comments of my attorney," Wahl said.
Judge Tera Harden noted Wahl has at least four prior DUI convictions.
"When I look at the history provided to me it is incredibly troubling to this court," Harden said.
The passage of time between her 2006 DUI conviction and her most recent arrest meant that she could not be charged with a felony offense.
Harden sentenced Wahl to 120 days in jail with 100 days suspended and 10 days to serve at the discretion of the court or her probation officer if she violates the terms of her community release.
The balance of the custodial sentence — nine days — was converted to 72 hours of work on the sheriff's labor detail.
"That is more time than generally you would get on first-time DUI offense, but this is not a first-time DUI offense," Harden said.

Abstract We examine the role played by Mutual Guarantee Institutions (MGIs) in the lending policies undertaken by banks at the peak of the Great Crisis of 2007-2009. We address this issue by using a large database on Italian firms built from the credit files of UniCredit banking Group and focusing on small business. We provide an empirical analysis of the determinants of the probability that a borrowing firm will suffer financial tension and obtain two main innovative findings. First, we show that small firms supported by MGIs were less likely to experience financial tensions even at that time of utmost financial stress. Second, our empirical evidence shows that MGIs have played a signalling role beyond the simple provision of a collateral. This latter finding suggests that the information provided by MGIs turned out to be key for bank-firm relations as scoring and rating systems – being typically based on pro-cyclical indicators – had become less informative during the crisis.


It has been almost six months since the "Towards a sustainable livelihood of the poor single women-headed household by applying climate samrt agriculture approach in Tĩnh Gia district, Thanh Hóa Province" ended, but the activities of the Farmer Interest Groups (FIGs), such as the SRI cultivation groups, poultry farming groups, VSLA group are maintained regularly. Besides, thanks to the loans from VSLA, Ninh Hai Commune Women's Union has actively sought and developed new models for women such as chicken egg incubator model and handmade bamboo lantern model for additional income. This is one of the most obvious demonstrations of positive change in the single women-headed household who used to be always shy and unconfident. At the same time, it shows a further step of the Commune Women's Union in supporting single women.

Economics for the Masses: The Visual Display of Economic Knowledge in the United States (1921-1945)

The rise of visual representation in economics textbooks after WWII is one of the main features of contemporary economics. In this paper, we argue that this development has been preceded by a no less significant rise of visual representation in the larger literature devoted to social and scientific issues, including economic textbooks for non-economists as well as newspapers and magazines. During the interwar era, editors, propagandists and social scientists altogether encouraged the use of visual language as the main vehicle to spread information and opinions about the economy to a larger audience. This process, which most notably helped shape the understanding of economic issues during the years of the Great Depression, has also changed the place of visualization in US society, seen not only as a tool of illustration but as a powerful engine of conviction and education. We explore different yet related aspects of this development by studying the use of visual language in economics textbooks intended for non-specialists, in periodicals such as the Survey, a monthly magazine intended for an audience of social workers, the americanization of Otto Neurath's pictorial statistics and finally the use of those visual representations by various state departments and administrations under Roosevelt's legislature (including the much-commented Historical Section of the Farm Security Administration). We show how visualizations that have been created in opposition to mainstream economics have lost most of their theoretical content when used widely for policy purposes while being simultaneously integrated into the larger American culture. It is our claim that those issues, which are familiar to those involved in cultural and visual studies, are also of crucial importance to apprehend the later developments of modern economics.

Q: Restructuring a Subversion Repository without losing any history Having asked this question and received a very satisfactory answer, I now wish in hindisght that I had made a different choice for the layout of my subversion repository.
My repo layout is currently:

/trunk
      /Project1
      /Project2
/branches
         /Project1
             /Branch1
             /Branch2
         /Project2
/tags
     /Project1
          /Tag1
          /Tag2
     /Project2
Of course now I wish I'd made the other decision:

/Project1
         /trunk
         /branches
         /tags
/Project2
         /trunk
         /branches
         /tags
So the question now becomes: how can I make this transition, while keeping my version history intact? Is there a way of doing that?

A: You just have to do svn move Your history will remain intact, but of course, new revisions will be added for every move.
svn move http://server/repo/branches/Project1/ http://server/repo/Project1/branches/Branch1 -m "Moving branch1 of project1"

The above is server side move ( rename )
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.ref.svn.c.move.html

A: Yes.  Use svn move (or svn rename)

This is the first post in a mini-series about my desk! The next post will be on Monday 🙂 Today, I'm going to be giving you all a tour of my desk! This was requested when I asked for post ideas- if you have any more, please let me know on this post.
Note: the table to the left (which you can just barely see in the picture, oops!) is part of my desk too, but it doesn't have anything on it and it's really just a place to spread out when doing homework or taking notes.
This is the wall above my whiteboard- I generally keep encouraging quotes, calendars, and tools up here. (I also just realized that I still have my January calendar up- I cropped some of it out of the photo but it's up there. oops!
I honestly don't need this anymore, but it's a chart to remember the regular verb conjugations in Spanish. I made it toward the beginning of the school year when I was having a lot of trouble with them..
Wow this is… not so cute? I made this a while ago, maybe I'll make a new one to put up there.
My little… storage tray? I normally keep books on it. Right now I have a notepad, birthday card (actually my birthday was not recent, I have no idea why that's there…) The Scarlet Pimpernel, and a math book I got from the library.
An ugly shot of my computer. Pretty self-explanatory, I guess.
My random little storage thingys. The pencil pouch holds my brush pens, pens, pencils, and highlighters.
The cute but falling apart folder holder my brothers made me. It holds all my school folders and stuff, haha.
My random box of papers + craft supplies… it's a mess but organized if that makes sense? I've had the box/drawer since age 5 which explains the stickers on the front… lol.
This is the top drawer of that cube thingy. I put my bigger binders + books I'm reading for school in here.
Below the drawer in the cube is where I put my textbooks/manuals.
Thanks for reading 🙂 Happy (Belated) Valentine's Day! Did you all read the story behind it in school? We did, every single class and then later at dinner, hahaha.
So. I've been blogging twice a week for like a week now and I. Love. It. It's so fun! I hope you guys like it too (because I'm totally not going back). Hannah just posted her dream house tour, and I loved it so much that I decided to make mine too! I'd say that my style is pretty classic, but minimalist, and farmhouse//country//boho too. Pretty much a little bit of everything, actually!
I love this so much! All the windows xD. And those doors are just so pretty! This is like the entrance to the yard, I guess?
I really like this entry for a small space because there's seating, storage for shoes, bags, and jackets, and decorations. Entryways are really important because they are the first thing people see of your house!
So. Pretty. I love this one! Just imagine another white couch to the right of where the picture ends.
In love! The green/blush accents are so pretty. And the island is so functional! The open shelving (but not too much!) and subway tile are gorgeous.
This is so pretty! I love all the different tones of wood.
I would probably hog this (sorry kids) but i totally have a reason! It's so fun and bright and girly, while still minimalistic and neat.
AGG is it wrong to want this bedroom? Also pretty sure that no baby is sleeping in that crib (I hope) because those big pillows are definitely safety hazards.
This room is so fun, girly, young, and classy at the same time. I love the lights and the lamp!
I love how this boy's bedroom is unique but not super cluttered.
This one is so pretty! I love the shower curtain.
I love this! It's so luxurious and relaxing.
Another bathroom like the first one- I love that style!
This is perfect for kids 🙂 I love it.
Today I'm going to be sharing a HUGE post about bible journaling. We'll talk about my favorite supplies, some art I've done, my bible, and we'll even look at some art inspiration. Are you ready? I sure hope so!
To bible journal, you need a bible, so I'm going to show you guys mine.
I bought my bible in January of this year, and it's held up beautifully! As you can see from the picture, it's gotten rather splotchy (I have no idea how it could get dirt on it, lol) but it's not that big of a deal. It's also available in hot pink, but I didn't want that. At first I planned on getting a bible cover as well but I haven't had any need for one, so I don't plan on getting one.
None of the pages are falling out or anything like that, and the paper is very nice. It's not super thin like most bible's pages, but it's not too thick either.
I highly recommend this bible for someone who has just started bible journaling and doesn't want to "mess up". There are lots of simple line drawings, which are awesome and very creative (nothing I could draw, lol). Bible journaling has also really improved my hand lettering, so I'm comfy with doing lots of art, and I also put sermon notes in it.
Now for the fun part, XD! I'm going to show you several art example and try my best to add the supplies I used.
They're not all very good pictures or art, but I love flipping through the pages and looking at all the pieces of art I've done.
So, since poor Hannah died, just take a minute to cry with me here.
Y'know, web page name? 14 inch Curly Hair Brown eyes?
i have given away too much!!!!
So first, you'll gather everything you'll be putting in.
You'll need a container to put it in. I used a round plastic container.
I also grabbed a baby washcloth to use as a mini towel. You should be able to find it. Also a small bath washcloth would work.
I folded it and put it in the basket.
The next thing I grabbed was a small brush thing. Like a big scrubber for the dolls?
That fit nicely in front of the washcloth.
I also had a mini travel toothbrush (unused) and a mini toothpaste as well. These you will probably get at your local dentist/orthodontist, so I'm sure you have some around.
I put a small baby comb in there as well as some hairbands/doll headbands.
I added a mini floss thing (behind the pocketbac), a mini hand sanitize, and a chap stick thing.
Did you like it? I really do!!!
I'm back…. With Doll Target!!!!
I took the pictures a while ago, and I do have a video that everyone said was awesome…. but I hate the sound of my voice in videos. XD Anyone else feel the same way? So… if you can convince i will post it. Here goes!!!!
Sorry for the bad lighting. We set it up in a room that has really bad lighting, so It wasn't awesome!
We made this doll target sign with a sharpie and paper. You could print one out or use one from a target ad.
Here is the (tiny) electronics center. We made two desktop computers.Yes that is a tissues box.
This is the main electronics table. The table is my brother's nabi box. The drawers organizing the books and folders are from the blue organization table. I bought it at the dollar store and use it in all my doll rooms- it's awesome!! The sticky notes and notepads are cut from full size sticky notes and notepads. I made most of the folders, books, and notebooks, but some are from the American Girl Doll School Kit. A tip for making doll books use home school/scholastic book catalogs! Glue the pictures of books to a piece of paper wrapped around craft foam.
This table is where I put tshirts, posters, and pictures. Like the printing area?
This was the cashiers desk. yes that is Lanes wallet on the cashiers desk.
Lane is here to shop for school supplies.
Yes her feet are bare.
And picks up her new desktop computer.
Hey guys! So this is my school supply haul video.
So the first thing I got is… a computer! As you can see, it came with a penguin desktop. This computer I will have to share with the other girls. I know Nora will blog on it often!!! (She would be blogging, but she's been sick. Also, thanks Stace for taking this awful awesome photos!!!
Lane: Oh hi Stace….. Yeah I'm blogging on my new computer.
This is such a cute file organizer. I will use it for all the books I write.
I picked out 1 notebook and 4 folders.
Then I got some more notebooks.
Do you like my doll Target? Sorry for my occasional rants and tears, and for the awful photos. But thats what bloggers are made of, right? Rants, Tears, and Awful Photagraphy?


Documentation, test-coverage, and webpack bundle-analyzer have gone through significant improvements and additions.
As an addition, there is a new control to directly branch out from a specific node to TAP the stream from that position.
Likewise, there's also an option to switch the primary stream within the topology. It is just one click away - its that simple!
Users who are resolving maven artifacts from a public or private maven artifactory can now take advantage of the "update-policy" feature. You can use this ability to override and refresh Spring Cloud Data Flow's internal maven cache. For instance, in development, you can continuously resolve SNAPSHOT versions of the maven artifact by setting update-policy=always, which will force the download of the latest version of the streaming or batch/task application that's in use in the DSL/Dashboard.
Given the traditional and OAuth security support in Spring Cloud Data Flow and the requirement to have the similar coverage for its companion servers such as spring-cloud/spring-cloud-dataflow-metrics-collector, spring-cloud-task-app-starters/composed-task-runner, and the soon-to-be-released spring-cloud/spring-cloud-skipper, we have extracted the common security infrastructure into a standalone library. The spring-cloud/spring-cloud-common-security-config library will be reused in companion servers in future releases.
This release brings the Spring Boot 1.5.7 compatibility and the underlying Spring Cloud infrastructure is updated to Dalston.SR3. For more details, please review the 1.3.0 M2 release notes.
