The Taxi Programming Language is an esoteric programming language developed in 1995. It uses an analogy of a town known as "Townsburg" in which there are several destinations at which variables, called "passengers," can be picked up or dropped off. When passengers are dropped off, they often undergo some sort of manipulation. For instance, two numerical passengers dropped off at Addition Alley will turn into one passenger waiting there, whose value is the same as the sum of the two original passengers' values.
Use
The Taxi Programming Language makes use of English-like sentences to do work. Most commands involve navigation in Townsville according to this map, picking up passengers, and refueling. For example, to multiply two numbers supplied by the user:
<code>
Go to the Post Office: west 1st left, 1st right, 1st left.
Pick up a passenger going to Multiplication Station.
Pick up another passenger going to Multiplication Station.
Go to Multiplication Station: south 1st left, 3rd left.
Pick up a passenger going to the Post Office.
Go to the Post Office: south 1st left, 3rd right.
Go to the Taxi Garage: north 1st right, 1st left, 1st right.
</code>
In this block of code, the "Taxi Garage" is where the pointer (taxi) starts and must stop to indicate successful termination. Any passengers dropped off at the "Post Office" are written to stdout, and passengers can be picked up corresponding to input read from stdin. "Multiplication Station" takes every two passengers dropped off there, and multiplies them to form a new passenger with that value.
In Taxi, unlike other languages, the pointer uses "gas" to move around Townsville. Gas must be purchased when it runs out. The money comes from a flat fee of $0.07 per mile per passenger. If the taxi runs out of gas, the program terminates unsuccessfully.

Fatina Salaheddine, born in Akron, Ohio, developed the Al-Sahafa Newspaper out of her experience with the Cleveland Clinic as well as her experience in wedding and event planning in her company Nonabel Entertainment (Lebanon spelled backwards). Her initial experience as the VIP guest director for the Cleveland Clinic's Omni International Hotel prepared her for her life of traveling the world meeting with dignitaries. At age 22 she hosted Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, president of the United Arab Emirates and his entourage when they came to the clinic. After a continuous barrage of inquiries into local Arab events by her friends and clients, she created Al-Sahafa to provide local Arab-focused information regarding events and entertainment. The paper's initial goal was to steer clear of politics, except for the editorial pages where readers would submit their views of politics. Fatina is interested in pursuing her skills in bridging the gap between America and the Middle East. and wants to leverage her knowledge of America and the Middle East to someday become a diplomat.
As a Lebanese-American she has had an easy time immersing herself in Ohio's Arab communities. She has stated that the Lebanese assimilate easily into the US because Lebanon is heavily influenced by Western Europe. She also feels that high importance that the Lebanese place on family and education has helped them to be more successful in American culture. Fatina has seen firsthand how quickly Lebanese-Americans, like herself, have integrated into American society. Lebanon is a major tourist destination in the Middle East, and is therefore very accepting of other people's views and beliefs. Many Middle Eastern writers relocate to Beirut, Lebanon, so that they can express their thoughts freely and openly. Fatina uses her Lebanese heritage in the paper to reflect her ideals, daily life and culture through her Editor's Note section in each issue of Al-Sahafa.
Fatina also places a strong significance on learning multiple languages in her position as editor. Speaking Arabic is important to ensuring that the message is communicated. Being fluent in five languages, Fatina has had an easier time immersing herself in various cultures to aid in providing in-depth context for her articles. Each language used brings specific cultural connotations. Nevertheless, she felt it was important that Al-Sahafa be an English language paper to enforce the idea the Arab-Americans are truly Americans and to aid in bridging the gap between Arabs and other Americans.
