Proroguing - Language comes and goes

Today is a word that has bombarded the media. Proroguing is a word that I have not come across before. It came to light when the UK prime minister has used this unique part of parliamentary legislation - Proroguing

What is it?
'Proroguing: verb - discontinue a session of (a parliament or other legislative assembly) without dissolving it.' - Oxford dictionary

Who, what, when
Looking at the usage history of the word, it seems like it was massive in the 1800's. As time marches on, society evolves, language changes. The nice thing with technology, we can see and compare the frequency of words in literature.

Use of proroguing in literature over time

Trending
Although this word is not new, it is very specific and probably the reason why it is has been harder to slip into general literature and conversation. Try it...it may trend once again.

Block chain business development

Every business needs a huge resource of input, from ideas to financial input. However, sometimes this is limited by what is available. A solution may be in block chains. Idea Most business's cannot afford the expertise to have in house. One option around this is to use the power of the block-chain and develop a new way of driving business innovation. Block chain A block chain is a documented chain of events that add up to an end result. How about having a way of floating ideas, they are then developed socially and as ideas are reviewed and adopted, they become part of the dna of the product or company. Depending if this an idea, investment or labour, a proportion of the profits will dissected amongst the whole chain. This way, you could get many invisible contributors to companies helping them grow and prosper without any outlay. Each company could measure the success of the input and assign percentages. Win Win all-round. Please feel free to share and comme...

Robotic tractors with AI cloud based GPS automation

The new decade will demand more AI automation. This will included all industries where there is a higher demand on labour. One such need is farming. Future farming Most farms can be run remotely including all the crop and land management. One big area is using GPS guided mini tractors. There will be a time when tractors will be programmed and set off to perform certain tasks around the farm including drilling, spraying and cultivation. The need To have an accurate way of managing land at arms length. Most land is monitored for yield, the next step is to have AI operated technology for accuracy and cost reduction. The answer Use self-automated mini robotic tractors. The tractors are connected to cloud based controllers, where farmers have full control. Already, farms are monitored for yield and efficiency, the next step will be to connect this to program that manages the program for the field. The steps Setup up details for fields State what you would like to grow ...

There is gold in them thar hills - Mining for plastic

Plastic mining It's only a matter of time when fossil fuels become a dark distant relative to newer, advance forms of energy production as part of a future concern for climate change and circular economics. As governments and experts fight for the right answers, it will become harder to justify taking natural resources without reason. There is no doubt that in this struggle for future minds, the cost of extraction will become either too costly or ethically problematic. Technology may hold the key to unlocking energy as well as cleaning up the environment cost-effectively. One possible way is to mine for waste plastic! Plastic is formed from carbon generated polymers, potentially with huge amounts of energy locked in at a molecular level. Once released, it will help reduce carbon fuel dependency as well reducing waste and pollution. For over 70 years, we have been ploughing spent plastic into our soil and oceans.There is evidence that it could take 1000's o...
