Data Privacy Day: one resolution for 2021
When it comes to keeping your personal information secure, don't take anyone at their word — use encryption. Since the first Data Privacy Day back in 2007, online privacy threats have multiplied. On top of more traditional threats like phishing — which has been around since at least the early 1990s — users today face more sophisticated risks, including those linked to the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, "older" threats remain highly relevant, as evidenced by a recent wave of ransomware attacks that not only lock user data but now have evolved to also threaten to leak

Two months after launching, HBO Max has released, if not viewership numbers, at least a ranking of its three most popular offerings thus far.
Topping the streaming service's self-reported ranking is, not surprisingly, its library of Friends episodes. (Remember, Netflix in 2018 spent a hefty $80 million to hold onto the Must-See TV staple for just one more year, given how it draws in and holds onto subscribers.)
Another of TV's most watched sitcoms ever, The Big Bang Theory, meanwhile placed… third on HBO Max's popularity chart.
So what show landed in second, behind Chanandler Bong and ahead of Sheldon?
The answer is Love Life, HBO Max's original rom-com anthology series led by Anna Kendrick — and which was renewed for a second season just weeks after its debut. (Kendrick will return as a guest star.)
"Friends and The Big Bang Theory are performing beyond expectations and driving high levels of engagement," reads the press release, "and subscribers are loving new Max Originals, like Love Life, which is the No. 2 series on the platform since launch."
Again not citing any specific viewership numbers, HBO Max reports that a total of eight HBO Max Originals have landed in the Top 25 series since launch: Love Life, Doom Patrol, Looney Tunes Cartoons, The Not-Too-Late Show, Legendary, Search Party, Close Enough and Expecting Amy.
HBO Max also reports that users are spending 70 percent more time on the new service versus its predecessor-of-sorts, HBO Now, while delivering a "significantly younger" subscriber base than traditional HBO, with 23 percent falling between the ages of 18-24.

How to Create Conversion & Remarketing Ads With Tags
How do you get the most out of your Google Ads with tags? In order to help Google Ads to be able to keep track of the products that are visited or how much certain products have been purchased through ads, it is necessary to insert a series of labels on your website.
These tags are javascript codes that are inserted into your website to offer some benefit or help to platforms such as Google Ads. As a result, this improves ad performance by having more information.
The different types of tags
Conversion Tag
You first need to connect your Google Ads account with the website so that Google Ads can know that a conversion has been made. This way it's easy to check the performance that a campaign is having with precision.
This tag records when a user or customer clicks on an ad to enter the website. Once within the web they can perform an action (as in the case of an eCommerce, it can be a purchase), so a conversion assigned to the specific campaign of that ad would be performed. This makes it so there is more information to evaluate the performance of certain ads by checking which one has been able to sell more or less.
Remarketing Tag
This tag has the function of following a user who has already visited your website or a specific product, and is able to show an ad related to what they have visited.
In order to generate ads that capture potential buyers who have already visited a product, it is necessary to add this label. This tag is a block of code that adds visitors of a website to remarketing lists, which can then be used for targeted ads.
To re-attract these potential customers, you can use Remarketing campaigns or even smart Shopping campaigns that also use this information.
Google Tag Manager
This is a tool that simplifies the management of your website's tags in an easy and fast way. It allows not only to add tags, but also to implement analytical and tag configurations from a simple and secure interface.
In order to start using this tool it is necessary to create an account at Tag Managger by adding your country and your website. Once registered, two blocks of JavaScript code will appear for you to insert on each page of your website. These codes will have to be directly copied into the <head> or <body> tags of your pages as indicated by Google Tag Manager. Once introduced, you will have Google Tag Manager ready to enter new tags.
Once everything is configured you will be able to create tags. A section will appear in which you can add a new tag or you can enter the tags section to create them. There is an extensive list of labels to choose from, including the ones previously mentioned.
You can configure which tags you want to run on certain pages of your website, depending on the strategy you want to follow. For example, if you only want to track the products that are visited, it would only be necessary to enable a tag for the product pages.
To finish configuring the Remarketing and Conversion tags, you need to fill in fields such as conversion ID and conversion label, which can be found in Google Ads.
The ID necessary for a Remarketing tag can be found in Audience Manager:
<Audience sources <Google Ads Tag Details <Tag Setup and conversion tag in Conversions <Your conversion action <Tag Setup
Once the labels have been configured, they must be published so that they are activated on your website. It is as simple as pressing the submit button and assigning a name and description about the labels to be published. This way, all the tags configured in the workspace will be published and in a few seconds it will be enabled on your website and ready to improve your integration with Google Ads.
To conclude…
We hope we have been able to expand your knowledge about remarketing and conversion ad tags, don't forget to visit our blog for more information!

Dr Don Hubert, in his analysis of the report on OPL 245, noted that the Malabu deal from onset was designed to short change Nigeria, as the agreement took out areas that were meant to generate revenue for the country.
The presidency said Wednesday that the federal government is investigating multinational giants, including Mobil Oil Producing for allegedly short changing the federation in the payment for the oil blocks they acquired and remittance of taxes.
This came as an Italian expert, Dr Don Hubert, in his analysis of the report on OPL 245, noted that the Malabu deal from onset was designed to short change Nigeria, as the agreement took out areas that were meant to generate revenue for the country.
A senior presidential assistant and Chairman of the Special Panel on Recovery of Public Properties, Mr. Okoi Obono-Obla, said at a press conference in Abuja that the oil giant, Mobil Oil, committed the act in 2009 after it acquired an oil block for $2.5billion but remitted only $600 million into the federation account and is yet to pay the balance of $1.9billion.
Obono-Obla, who spoke at an Anti-Corruption Situation Room on Public Presentation of Expert Analysis of OPL 245, otherwise known as Malabu Oil, yesterday in Abuja, disclosed that apart from Mobil Oil Producing Nigeria, the panel is also investigating a lot of multinational oil companies in Nigeria over their failure to pay taxes to the government.
According to him, "We are also investigating Mobil Oil Producing and that is quite instructive because we are here to deal with the misbehaviors of oil companies in Nigeria, particularly multinational oil companies in Nigeria and Mobil is one of them.
''We are investigating Mobil over their failure to remit over $1.9billion to the federation account arising out of the purchase of oil block by Mobil in 2009. The price of that oil block was about $2.5bn and Mobil paid only $600m, so we want to recover the $1.9m that is outstanding.
"We are also investigating a lot of oil companies because of their failure to pay tax, a lot of them don't pay tax, you can imagine how much they are making and yet a lot of them don't pay tax; that is a classic example of lawlessness and causing economic adversity to the country."
Outside the oil companies, Obono-Obla disclosed that the panel is also investigating the bailout funds granted to commercial banks in the country in 2006, expressing shock that the funds, apart from the fact that they were yet to be refunded was misconceived to be a "dash" to the banks.
"If you recall that in 2006 the Central Bank of Nigeria gave out bailout funds to commercial banks to the tune of $7billion. When we got to the CBN to update us whether this fund has been paid back the Central Bank of Nigeria said that in 2006 its Board of Directors met and passed a resolution dashing $7billion to these commercial banks.
''You can imagine dashing public money; we are going to recover that money because the commercial banks do not belong to the Nigerian people but to private individuals."
While describing the Malabu scam as a classic example of abuse of office and economic sabotage by corrupt public officials and their cohorts, Obono-Obla warned that the panel would investigate the issue with a view to ensuring that all those involved are dealt with and that everything stolen is recovered from them.
Explaining the Malabu oil deal investigation findings, Hubert said unlike the 2003 and 2005 sharing formula between Nigeria and oil companies, the 2011 and 2012 Resolution Agreement between Nigeria and ENI/Shell did not take into recognition government's share of profit oil, which according to him are education tax of 2% and 50% petroleum tax.
He said when these two major aspects are removed from the contract the consequence is a loss of about $4.5billion to the government. According to him, the oil block, going by documents it obtained from Shell and ENI, is projected to produce around 560m barrels within its expected 13 years life span when it comes on stream in 2022.
Hubert noted that Nigeria's loss could be more since the firm did not include the value of gas expected to be produced from the oil block. He, however, noted that Nigeria can revoke the OPL 245 Licence granted Malabu/Shell/ENI or the government through the NNPC pay for the share for the government to get profit oil from the contract.
On his part, the Chairman HEDA Resource Centre, Mr. Olarenwaju Suraju, urged the government to revoke the OPL 245 License so as to save Nigeria loss of the revenue, while calling for the prosecution of all those involved in the shady deal to serve as deterrent to others.
OPEC Considers Output Cut to Stabilise Prices
In a related development, member countries of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and their allies led by the Russian Federation may cut their production levels to restore stability in the global oil market prices, which have reportedly dropped by about 30 per cent recently.
If this happens at their next meeting in December, the cartel and its allies would have effectively ignored recent calls by the US President, Donald Trump, for them to bring down oil prices.
Reports indicated that as at the close of business yesterday, Brent crude benchmark traded at $60.61 per barrel from an average of $76.73 per barrel in October.
But the cartel, according to the Energy Minister of Saudi Arabia, Khalid Al-Falih, would do what is necessary to ensure that the growing oil inventories in the market are kept at levels that are comfortable and would not distort the market.
Al-Falih, was guest to the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, in Abuja yesterday, where they both talked extensively on the need to continue to work together to stabilise the oil market.
Both ministers briefed journalists on their conversations as well as the possibility of Nigeria and Saudi Arabia partnering on the business of petroleum products refining.
He said the cartel had taken note of the growing instability in the market, adding that this had been amplified by geopolitical tensions and speculative activities by financial investors.
According to the Saudi oil minister, when producers gather on December 6, in Vienna, Austria, they will, "do the right thing in stabilising the market and giving producers and consumers comfort," that the oil market will be stable in 2019. In response to questions on his thoughts about Trump's nudging of the cartel to keep prices of oil low, Al-Falih, said: "I think I speak for the 25 countries altogether. We saw in the action we decided to take in 2016, great benefits for the entire global producers and consumers because oil market stability is very instrumental essentially to everyone in the market, and we do that by focusing on primarily one parameter which is global inventories.
"We try to be as objective and data-focused as possible, looking only to inventories, whether they are building to levels that will destabilise the market, and shutdown investments.
"As we meet in a week's time, our focus will once again be on fundamentals of supplies and demand, and inventories and try to bring that back into a level that will assure the market.
"The decision is going to be made essentially on December 7 on what to do, and as I said in Abu Dhabi, we have to do whatever is necessary. As important as Saudi Arabia is, we cannot do it alone, we will not do it alone," he said.
Whatever decision the cartel and its allies take, he said, it would also be in the interest of American oil producers whom he added, were equally worried about the growing instability in the market.
He was however reluctant to state how much oil may be cut by OPEC and its allies, adding: "Everybody is longing for reaching a decision that will bring stability back to the market, and what that will be is premature to say, but I think people know that instability in the market will not help. We will see the numbers from the technical advisers."
Speaking in the same vein, Kachikwu, who aligned with most of Al-Falih's thoughts on what direction the market should go, stated that both countries were committed to seeing the market rebalance to comforting levels.
He also explained that it would be too early for Nigeria to decide on seeking production cut exemptions, but added that the country would commit to whatever decisions the cartel takes.
"There is an absolute resolve from both countries to ensure that as we get to Vienna, whatever action that needs to be taken to stabilise price will be taken. The interest of the whole will guide us in our decision. We are looking forward to Vienna, but not without some trepidation.
"It is too early to determine an exemption, but I will say that Nigeria is very committed to working with OPEC. We've always been committed even when we have production cap exemptions. When we get to OPEC, we will make a decision in supporting OPEC," Kachikwu assured.
Both ministers equally disclosed that they could explore business opportunities in petroleum products refining and downstream operations.
In this regard, Kachikwu explained that Nigeria would like to leverage the expertise of Saudi Arabia in midstream and downstream operations to especially revamp Nigeria's refineries.
He, however, noted that no concrete agreement has been reached by both countries.
"We are struggling with our refineries and they have a massive refining capacity. We are to collaborate in this area as well. The refineries are very close to my heart. I brought up the experience we have and he shared his own experience. We did discuss that but no formal thing agreed yet. These are usually very strong business decisions," Kachikwu said.

Thank You!
I just want to thank all of you who backed my I See Moolongz Kickstarter campaign, and those who didn't but came to the backer reward and book launch party on Saturday (some of you who I haven't seen for years came all the way up from East Boston – go Eastie!). It was a great turnout for the book launch party and Spontaneous Collaboration exhibit, and everyone seemed to be really enjoying themselves. Thanks especially to Brenda Malloy who kept me organized during the book signing. Any of you who did not get to come to the party and pick up your rewards, they are on their way to you by mail. This is such an amazing community! Thank you all so much. Love, EJ
Boston Red Sox vs Tampa Bay
Last Thursday it was great fun to see the game at Fenway. Red Sox beating Tampa Bay 11-1…Sox getting 16 hits and scoring all those runs with a lineup of mostly young players that may well be part of the future for the Sox. It was a surprise to see the park nearly full with fans having a great time after the season we have had. Two of the youngsters got their first major league home runs, with Castillo just missing his second by about a foot high off the monster, and Vazquez adding three other hits to go 4 for 4 at the plate. We even saw Koji looking like last year closing out the game. In all there were seven rookies in the game. It was just a fun night!
Sista's Favorite Kitchen Gadget of the week
Silicone Omelet Mold by Le'Kue'
Silicone Omelet mold by Le'Kue', is quite handy during the early morning rush of getting son BJ and husband Barry out the door on time to beat the rout 128 traffic. At the start of this school year I began fixing BJ and St. Barry "to go" breakfast wraps per their request. This morning ritual of preparing a hot "to go" breakfast, followed by the quick 'kiss, kiss, have a good day, here is your warm breakfast, enjoy, wave goodbye close the door," left me with the not so joyful sink of dirty cooking equipment each morning.
Two weeks ago while washing at the sink, a flash back of a microwave cooking demonstration I attended with my mother, back in the day when Microwaves were the new "Must Have" Kitchen Gadget of the times. The fast, no fuss little mess style cooking revolutionized kitchen around the world.
I remembered watching scrabbled eggs cook in a glass Pyrex liquid measuring cup quickly, effortlessly, and with little mess within minute's right in the aisle of the appliance store. The very next morning, happened to be a Saturday, and I decided to replicate that same microwave egg demonstration to son BJ. He thought it was a genius approach of cooking fast with little mess to clean, and was happy with the results. For the next several days their "to go" breakfast wraps and sandwiches were prepared in this fashion, until I scored this nifty silicone omelet gadget made by Le'Kue' on clearance for $8.00 in Marshalls the other day. This Silicone Omelet mold by Le'Kue' has definitely made my morning job of fixing a hot "To Go" breakfast for my boys a lot faster and easier. I definitely give this kitchen gadget a two thumbs up for the ease of preparing eggs in an omelet style via the microwave.
*Note~ Our fist omelet was prepared following the manufactures instructions, of whisking ingredients together before pouring into the silicone mold, but that process resulted in 3 things to clean measuring cup, whisking tool, and silicon mold. I shorten the cleaning item list to 2 by add and whisking all ingredients together in the silicone mold itself just prior to cooking.
If you like omelet style eggs and find your morning too busy to deal with "cooking" that requires your undivided attention so you don't burn the house down, find yourself a Le'Kue' Omelete mold Stat!

CORRECTION! Poll:QUESTION 2: Law Proposed by Initiative Petition Expanding the Beverage Container Deposit Law
HUGE EDIT and MISTAKE BY ME- NOT A PROPOSED MINIMUM 5 CENT HIKE EVERY 5 YEARS
I love everything about the expansion of the bottle bill to include sports beverages, juice drinks and water bottles EXCEPT this little nugget that the people aren't talking about-
The proposed law would require the state Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) to adjust the container deposit amount every five years to reflect (to the nearest whole cent) changes in the consumer price index, but the value could not be set below five cents.
Read through the summary and vote in the poll at the bottom of the post.
Here it is from the State Of Mass Website-
QUESTION 2: Law Proposed by Initiative Petition
Expanding the Beverage Container Deposit Law
Do you approve of a law summarized below, on which no vote was taken by the Senate or the House of Representatives on or before May 6, 2014?
This proposed law would expand the state's beverage container deposit law, also known as the Bottle Bill, to require deposits on containers for all non-alcoholic non-carbonated drinks in liquid form intended for human consumption, except beverages primarily derived from dairy products, infant formula, and FDA approved medicines. The proposed law would not cover containers made of paper-based biodegradable material and aseptic multi-material packages such as juice boxes or pouches.
The proposed law would require the state Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) to adjust the container deposit amount every five years to reflect (to the nearest whole cent) changes in the consumer price index, but the value could not be set below five cents.
The proposed law would increase the minimum handling fee that beverage distributors must pay dealers for each properly returned empty beverage container, which was 2¼ cents as of September 2013, to 3½ cents. It would also increase the minimum handling fee that bottlers must pay distributors and dealers for each properly returned empty reusable beverage container, which was 1 cent as of September 2013, to 3½ cents. The Secretary of EEA would review the fee amounts every five years and make appropriate adjustments to reflect changes in the consumer price index as well as changes in the costs incurred by redemption centers. The proposed law defines a redemption center as any business whose primary purpose is the redemption of beverage containers and that is not ancillary to any other business.
The proposed law would direct the Secretary of EEA to issue regulations allowing small dealers to seek exemptions from accepting empty deposit containers. The proposed law would define small dealer as any person or business, including the operator of a vending machine, who sells beverages in beverage containers to consumers, with a contiguous retail space of 3,000 square feet or less, excluding office and stock room space; and fewer than four locations under the same ownership in the Commonwealth. The proposed law would require that the regulations consider at least the health, safety, and convenience of the public, including the distribution of dealers and redemption centers by population or by distance or both.
The proposed law would set up a state Clean Environment Fund to receive certain unclaimed container deposits. The Fund would be used, subject to appropriation by the state Legislature, to support programs such as the proper management of solid waste, water resource protection, parkland, urban forestry, air quality and climate protection.
The proposed law would allow a dealer, distributor, redemption center or bottler to refuse to accept any beverage container that is not marked as being refundable in Massachusetts.
The proposed law would take effect on April 22, 2015.
A YES VOTE would expand the state's beverage container deposit law to require deposits on containers for all non-alcoholic, non-carbonated drinks with certain exceptions, increase the associated handling fees, and make other changes to the law.
A NO VOTE would make no change in the laws regarding beverage container deposits.
As provided by law, the 150-word arguments are written by proponents and opponents of each question, and reflect their opinions. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts does not endorse these arguments, and does not certify the truth or accuracy of any statement made in these arguments. The names of the individuals and organizations who wrote each argument, and any written comments by others about each argument, are on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth.
IN FAVOR: A YES vote will improve the "Bottle Bill," where consumers put down a refundable nickel deposit on a beer or soda. People get the nickel back when they return the container. A YES vote will extend this program to cover other beverages such as bottled water.
The Bottle Bill works: 80% of beer and soda containers get recycled. Only 23% of non-deposit containers do. So every year a billion bottles get tossed away, often on playgrounds, roads and beaches. Communities have to pay to clean them up.
A YES vote equals more recycling, less trash and litter, and big savings for towns' waste management costs. That's why this idea has been endorsed by 209 of our cities and towns, as well as Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick, former Republican Gov. Mitt Romney, 350 business leaders, and independent groups like the League of Women Voters, MASSPIRG, Sierra Club and hundreds more.

AGAINST: Massachusetts should be a recycling leader, but Question 2 will keep us in the past. Ninety percent of households now have access to curbside and community recycling programs. Let's focus on what works instead of expanding an outdated, ineffective, and inconvenient system.
Everyone wants to increase recycling rates—but expanded forced deposits are the wrong approach.
Question 2 would:
• cost nearly $60 million a year, more than three times the price of curbside programs (while increasing recycling rates by less than 1 percent);
• waste taxpayer dollars on expanding an uneconomical, 30-year-old system;
• raise your nickel deposit and additional fees every five years—without your vote.
Today, more than $30 million of your unclaimed nickels go into the state's general fund and into the hands of politicians – not to environmental programs. Let's stop throwing money at an inefficient system and invest in modern recycling technology.
Vote NO on Question 2.

Shortly before you deliver your presentation warm up your voice. 0:01
I know, you're not about to sing a song for a big crowd, but 0:04
a simple vocal warmup is still a great idea for public speaking in general. 0:07
Loosen up your jaw and take a big over the top yawn. 0:12
Can flutter your lips, [SOUND], or hum for a minute in five to ten second bursts, 0:19
say, hi, my name is Julie, say your name a few times. 0:26
Finish your vocal warm up by reading a small piece of your notes. 0:30
In addition to warming up your voice, 0:35
you may find it helpful to do a little bit of physical warming up with your body. 0:37
Even if you'll be seated for 0:41
your presentation or standing in the same spot most of the time, 0:43
warming up your body will help you feel more grounded and confident. 0:46
Try rolling your shoulders a few times or 0:51
take a big stretch to open your ribs, maybe do a few side bends. 0:54
If you have other favorite warm ups that you know you like, get creative with this. 1:00
You don't have to do a full on yoga routine, 1:05
but just taking a couple of minutes to stretch before you walk in to the room or 1:07
sit at your desk, will help you feel energized and ready to speak. 1:11
I'm including a link on the teacher's notes to a few other local and 1:15
physical exercises for you to try. 1:19
Next, be sure your room is ready and 1:22
available especially if you had to reserve a conference room for your presentation. 1:23
I always book the room 10 to 15 minutes before my meeting starts so 1:28
I have plenty of time to get settled and make sure all of my technology is working. 1:32
When I'm presenting remotely from home, I also like to make sure the lights in my 1:37
office are turned on so I can be seen clearly on camera. 1:41
Now is also a good time to make sure you won't be distracted by barking dogs or 1:45
your neighbor mowing their lawn if you are presenting from home. 1:49
Prep any technology that you may need. 1:54
Be sure your laptop is plugged in or fully charged, you know how to use the screen 1:56
sharing tools if needed, your head set's ready to go, 2:01
your notifications are turned off and your Internet connection is strong. 2:04
Technology mishaps do happen. 2:09
[SOUND] If you find yourself in a situation where suddenly you can't see 2:11
your screen, but your audience can, or 2:14
your headset isn't working, or something else goes wrong, try not to panic. 2:17
Ideally, you will have rehearsed already so 2:21
much that you'll know your information well enough to seamlessly present. 2:23
If there's a bigger issue, though, like the majority of your attendees aren't able 2:28
to log onto the video conference, you may have to consider rescheduling. 2:32
Assuming everything goes well though, after your presentation, 2:37
be sure that your audience has all the information they need. 2:40
Particularly, if they're being asked to make a decision based on something 2:44
you've presented. 2:47
Commit to doing research on any additional questions that came up 2:48
during your presentation. 2:51
And if you'll be sharing the slides electronically, let your audience know 2:53
when they can expect them and if they will be emailed or shared in a public folder. 2:57
Finally, if this presentation is something you will be using again, 3:02
make note of any areas that could be further refined for next time. 3:05
You did it. 3:10
Now you have the tools and 3:11
strategies to deliver effective presentations confidently. 3:12

Cool Human – Portable Body Cooler
Cool Human is a rechargeable, portable body cooler that blows air under your clothes, allowing you to create your own personal cooling microclimate. it's an handsfree solution for athletes and professionals alike that will enable them to maintain enhanced comfort throughout their workout or workday.
it's an hand free device clipped on to the belt or pants and will immediately start blowing cool air into your shirt, thus cooling your entire upper body by cooling the microclimate that surrounds you. This will help to optimize the microclimate of your cloths and keep them comfortable no matter how hot it might be indoors or out.
Overheating not only causes sweat and discomfort, but may even lead to dangerous health conditions such as heat exhaustion or heatstroke. The best way of cooling down the body is through the body's own innate mechanism of evaporative cooling, in which sweat produced by the body evaporates in the surrounding air, thus lowering the body's core temperature.
The Cool Human Portable Body Cooler eliminates these problems by producing Cool air flow where you need it the most – UNDER your clothes.

Thanks to ThoughtWorks, I was introduced to many things -
- Agile
- Blogging
- Speaking at conferences
- Contributing to Open-source
- ...
- ...
The list is actually quite long - but that is not the intention of this post.
The main takeaway in my learning at ThoughtWorks though, is how to Test better, and be more effective in that for the end-user.
Even before my time at ThoughtWorks, I never agreed with the thought process that Functional Automation can / should be done only when the feature is stable. But at ThoughtWorks, I did learn many more tips and tricks and techniques and processes how to do this Functional Automation in a better way, as the product is evolving.
On 9th April 2011, I had written a detailed blog post / article regarding how can we test better in the Agile world.
This post was titled - "Agile QA Process", and the document was uploaded to slideshare with the name - "Agile QA Process". I am very pleasantly surprised that till date, that document has had over 74K views and almost 2.7K downloads, and is still my topmost viewed post on slideshare.
When I look back at the document, it still seems very relevant and applicable, to me!

Today, many Americans are now court ordered to take psychiatric
drugs against their will while living at home. Here is one of those
stories by a MindFreedom member told in his own words.
February 2004 Hello. My name is Donald Chambers. A few years ago,
I found myself in New York City, homeless and without a family to
take me in. I stayed in homeless shelters and tried to fill out
college applications in order to finish college. While in the
shelters, I spent much of my time reading and writing, and this type
of behavior is quite unusual among the majority of shelter
I caught the attention of the bullies. Now, my muscles are very
small. I'm slender, and I can't fight. The bullies would track me
down to unsupervised areas of the shelter, insult me, rob me, and
beat me up. All I could do was scream, curse, and make threats. It
was my only defense.
At times I was so frustrated with the shelters that I would check
into a psychiatric ward under the pretense of being "suicidal" as an
alternative to the homeless shelters. The psychiatrists promptly
labeled me "insane," though me and my long-term friends believe that
I am NOT insane. I was forcibly drugged with horrible, mind-altering
drugs. These drugs induced deep depressions and put me in a
zombie-like trance. My ability to think and talk were lessened
substantially! They also made me sexually impotent!
Approximately two and a half years ago, Phillip Weis, a
psychiatric social worker in New York's Bellevue Hospital had a
psychiatrist take me to court to put me on an Assisted Outpatient
Treatment order to have me forcibly drugged, even though I live
peacefully in my own apartment. The psychiatrist's case in court was
merely based on me having incurred a plurality of hospitalizations
in a five-year period of time.
When the bullies in the shelters are not beating me up with their
muscles, the psychiatrists are beating me up with their medications.
Will somebody out there please help me?

In Dubai, UAE, the prices for the Gastric Balloon package start from $4,110. The gastric balloon procedure is a nonsurgical technique during which a deflated silicone balloon is inserted into the patient's stomach. Inside the stomach, the balloon will be filled with being inflated, closed tightly and released in the stomach, filing a significant part of it. That is why the patient will feel full after ingesting only a small amount of food.

You know how, whenever someone points out that spending $12 billion on highways that make no economic sense makes even less sense when you consider that people are driving less because of the price of petrol and will only reduce their driving more in the face of even higher petrol prices, some idiot says 'we'll just invent alternatives, drive electric!'. Yeah, it ain't happening.
Leaving aside the problem that there's not enough lithium producable for all the batteries we would need, there's just no way that the take-up of electric cars is going to be sufficiently fast to make a big difference to the oil-intensity of driving in New Zealand.
There are 46 electric cars registered in New Zealand, out of 3.4 million. That's up from 25 in 2007. At the current (let's assume exponential) rate of increase, it will reach 350 by 2022.
By that time, petrol prices will be $5 a litre.
Even if every car registered from now on was electric (and that wouldn't be possible even if New Zealand bought the world's whole electric car production), over half the fleet in 2022 would be oil-driven because most cars that will be on the road in 2022 are already on the road. The average age of the car fleet is 13.59 years and that's increased by 1.5 years in the past five years and 2 years in the past ten.
People aren't responding to high oil prices by buying electric cars: they're responding by keeping their old cars and driving them less (traffic volumes have been falling for nearly all of the past four years and vehicle kilometres travelled are down about 7% per capita from peak)
MoT projects that 85-90% of vehicles will still be conventional in 2030. Indeed, the likelihood of ongoing weak growth and high fuel prices leaves businesses and families with less capital for investment in new vehicles.
All of which makes the daydreams of people who say 'yeah, we should spend $12 billion on uneconomic roads, because we'll all drive on them in electric cars' even more fanciful.
Nice, succinct explanation that will be really useful to get the message out.
I think most people don't even think about the fact that to replace the fleet means building new cars, and that that itself requires cheap oil. To try and do so before the old ones need replacing is crazy economics too.
My cars have always lasted well beyond 14 years. The car before the one I have now I liked alot so I checked out the cost of getting it reconditioned. The answer was that it wasn't worth the money, but as far as I could tell this was more about people just not being used to doing this. I think we will have to look at this option into the future. The big concern there is parts availability, and the increasing complexity of modern cars, esp the electrics. A high turnover of the fleet is not to our advantage.
btw, there was a guy in the ODT yesterday, lives on the outskirts of Dunedin. He had converted his RAV4 to electric. It cost him $20,000. He charged it from a wind turbine at his home that he also used to sell power back to the power company. Interesting project, but also goes to show that we are still at the hobby stage of electric cars.
"we are still at the hobby stage of electric cars"… quite correct as it applies to local production of electric/alternative propulsion vehicles……
I had a conversation in 1990 with a cousin, who had just got back from australia… he had been engaged as a photo-journalist for the annual solar powered car race….
he informed me that the electric propulsion technology had been developed to the point where car manufacturers were, at that time, able to produce electric cars that were performing at comparable levels to petrol…… in fact , he was quite confidant that these vehicles were soon to be brought out for sale……
that was two decades ago…… what happened? simple…. the widespread retailing of electricity powered vehicles was suppressed to protect investment in current plant…. once the profit has been fully reaped, then, and only then, will the production of electric cars become the norm….
that is, assuming we are still in one piece by then….
The idea electric cars were 'suppressed' is just superstitious nonsense. They have been around for well over 100 years so its ignorant to suggest this is somehow new and suppressible. The only thing suppressing them is their high comparative cost and perceptions of limited utility.
You believe that a major industry with billions invested in combustion engine technology wouldn't act to protect that investment? Something as simple as shelving all internal ideas for electric cars, for instance. Easy to do and invisible from the outside.
It doesn't matter any way, China is going to leap frog the western manufacturers in electric vehicles.
CV not until they come up with an alternative to lithium.
The worlds largest reserves are in Afghanistan.
The worlds reserves of lithium are not very large.
Lithium is more common than lead, tin and silver. The Afghanistan story is just that.
By all accounts quite hard because it's very reactive, but its available And far from being the most expensive metal around. There was some nz company looking at extracting it from seawater. Not sure how reputable it was
And that last comment is exactly the reason you are wrong. You can't kill ideas, especially ones over 100 years old. No matter what you do, someone else will invent it and if it is better then it will kill your business, so you may as well embrace it and take advantage of your technical edge. Next you'll be explaining about the water powered engine suppressed by 'big oil'
It's nothing to do with capitalism but the inventiveness of people. History is littered with parallel development as most inventions or science insights are evolutionary rather than revolutionary, and the circumstances that lead to invention are often replicated in many laboratories. We just tend to only know about the one who got to the patent office or published in a journal first.
History is littered with parallel development as most inventions or science insights are evolutionary rather than revolutionary
This is clearly false
Don't you mean patently false?
Calculus, evolution, lightbulbs, the thermometer, the hypodermic needle, vaccinations, Adrenalin, decimal fractions, electric telegraph, photography, logarithms, the typewriter, liquefaction of oxygen, the electrolysis of aluminum, and the stereochemistry of carbon, The steamboat. The phenomenon is neither new nor surprising, well except to you apparently.
try as you might innie, you still succeed in nothing more than mindless finger pointing….
i shared information from a reputable, informed source, and you waste our time with calling it "superstitious nonsense" … what a wally…..
here's an example from the non superstitious real world….try to read it with your hands free…
i had an uncle (recently passed on) who invented a motor mower that was safe to use, and actually cut grass more efficiently than conventional mowers of that time(1970's)…
you could stick your foot under it with no danger to yourself…..
he sold the patent to mason and porter(masport) after negotiating royalties for every unit produced….mason and porters then put the blueprints away in a drawer, and carried on producing the mowers they had already….. no sign whatsoever of any new plant to build the new ones….in fact. the mower, as it was devised has never been produced….
a version of his design was introduced years later, but failed because they(mason %porters) tried to change the original design enough to avoid paying royalties to his children….and it didn't work as well consequently….
the point being that the whole exercise from mason & porters perspective was to protect the investment they had made in existing plant….. this was explained to my uncle by a senior manager from that company….. he was able to be honest only because there were no avenues of redress to my uncle….
if a relatively small company would do this without a second thought, what's to stop large multinationals doing it?
easy answer ….. absolutely nothing!!!
superstitious nonsense….what i plonker…
First I don't consider your cousin's opinions as a credible source, no matter how nice a guy he is. The fact is electric vehicles are not competitive with ICEs, even after 100 years of research and probably billions in investment.
And your wonder mower story raises a few questions for me. Masport were not the only seller of lawnmowers in nz, even in the 70s. If it was as revolutionary as you say and a threat to sunk investment, wouldn't it be an even bigger opportunity for an established player and the cost of re tooling be small comapred to the market domination? And imagine the new markets it could open up even just in sales of licences. Plenty of things work as a prototype and get bought with good intentions but then can't scale for production and are shelved – nice idea but wrong timing and cost. That is not conspiracy.
A few years ago the MED predicted 5% of the light passenger vehicle fleet will be electric by 2020. 95% still carbon powered.
Spot on analysis. I'm running an old Nissan TD272 diesel engine, which I intend to recondition shortly to make it good for another 300,000 km. It might not be the cleanest thing out there, but on the energy cost savings foregone of building a new one, it comes out well ahead on the ledger.
The future of motorised transport will owe more to Castro-era Cuban backyard engineering and jimmying than it will to some shining all electric future with lithium batteries. You could evaporate the whole of the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia (a very cool place BTW) and not replace the world's car fleet, and that of course doesn't even address the ongoing energy costs associated with charging the things.
Heavy stuff has to go back onto rail, and we've got to get flexible about fuelling. Funnily enough, that means external combustion engines (steam), which can run on wood, coal, biomass, whatever bits of oil we can get a hold of, or a mixture of all of them at once.
There is still a chance of an electric future for some vehicles in New Zealand, and I'd recommend NiFe cells for that, due to their 50 year plus life-expectancy. That hinges on someone investing in frequent and fast charging stations with an appropriate radius.
No. There are approx 200 gigatons of carbon in oil and gas form.
There are 5,000 Gtons of carbon in coal form.
If we burn the coal we're completely screwed.
When oil becomes impractical, we're going to coal. Not saying we should, just saying that we will.
With coal, I'm being reflective of reality here – if it's there and mineable, someone is going to try and use it, and with an energy-starved population, you will struggle to find political support to not mine it. That is the issue New Zealand faces over the lignite reserves in Southland. There is also a lot less of it in the world than most people think anyway – we may have already passed peak energy from coal (not peak volume) anyway.
The other critical factor with coal is the direct relationship between oil price and economic mining – as most traditional coal mining is powered by oil in some form or the other, as the price of oil rises, the extractable reserves of coal diminish. Add that to the fact that the easy high energy coal has all but gone, and you've got a recipe for a faster energy decline than many suspect.
Of course, that's good ecological news for the planet.
For transport, if oil supplies become constrained, I'd bet the house on us using what we have locally available to maintain some semblance of a nationwide system.
Spot on. China is already buying coal for over $100 a tonne. How long can they afford to do that for? Their economy is already beginning to slow.
" The future of motorised transport will owe more to Castro-era Cuban backyard engineering and jimmying than it will to some shining all electric future with lithium batteries."
Peter, what year is your diesel vehicle? How easy/difficult is hacking cars going to be over the next 20 years given the complexity of modern cars? Are they still within the ability of the backyarders?
Every year, or there about, I do my count percentage of cars with a single person. Nothing has changed. People still live too far from shops, schools, work, to actively be able to stop using cars.
Of course, there are hybrids, which are more plentiful on the road than pure electric cars.
Don't get in the way of a good story Mr Smithfield by pointing out the obvious.
The $60K asking price & 160Km range don't help either.
And the increasing fleet age, surely doesn't tie in to the greater safety standards introduced a couple of years back for imports.
Their take up has been incredibly slow as well. They've been in the market for 10 years, but last year the Prius only sold 200 units. The VW Touareg sold more.

And the increasing age of the fleet has nothing to do with the increased safety requirements introduced a couple of years back for imports either… or so the writer would have you believe.
With a Prius you are not told of the cost of recycling the batteries every 2-3 years or so.
About $6,000 including disposal costs.
All batteries, including rechargeables, run out.
Footrot the batteries are guaranteed for 8 years and will last as long as 20 years .
The cost of the batteries is $8,000 not including fitting.
feets dont fail me now!
I trialed a 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid with low ks several months ago. The asking price was 17k. It had a 1300cc petrol motor supported by an electric motor giving it the equivalent power to an 1800 theoretically. The petrol economy was 4 litres per 100k.
I didn't really like the ride, so I went for a standard 1800 version (7 litres per 100k). But if the price of petrol was a lot higher, then I would have probably considered the hybrid option a lot more seriously.
Coming back to the point the misallocation of funds on roading represents a stupendously nonsensical bit of politics. We joke about the John Key Memorial Cycleway but from a future viewpoint it actually makes sense to only build fit for light traffic, mainly cycles (and electric variants there of). The money spent on roads would definitely be better spent on rail electrification and a more efficient rebuild of the national grid.
One of the laughs I get is the number of people who will come up with a techno solution for any oil depletion issues. My own thinking is an amalgam of traditional methods, simplification / decomplexification and applied modern science. I did over the cycle not long ago, and was surprised by the difference a little vegetable oil on the chain made to ease of pedaling. Low tech, renewable.
The only answer seems to be that we return to peddle-cars.
Yeah. Everything is so fucked we might as well slit our wrists now.
How about you go first? We'll follow.
The other problem with electric cars is we'd need to produce a whole lot more electricity to run them all. I'd be interested in the figures; existing petrol & diesel usage converted to watts.
I'd like a little runabout electric car but no-one makes one that's affordable. There's some golf buggies that are adaptable to road use, have a range of 50-60k and can do up to 70km/hr. Doesn't sound much but they'd make an excellent shopping basket & good for commuting if the distance isn't far. Problem is converting them to road-legal costs too much.
True. But electric motors are several multiples more efficient than internal combustion engines. So, electric vehicles should be much better in terms of green house gasses, even if more electrical generation capacity is required.
The silly moneterist hurry up and slit your wrists.
The amount of greenhouse gases used to manufacture a hybrid is way more than a V8 prado uses in manufacturing then running 400,000 km.
All electric cars do is move the emissions from the car exhaust to the power station.
Haven't actually read the article but this is likely to answer your questions: http://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/2011/08/mpg-for-electric-cars/
Highly recommend that site to everyone in this thread for the very scientific, yet easy to understand, approach to encroaching energy scarcity.
Yup Do The Math is great. Puts hard figures on all the wild claims out there and the results are not promising.
This article surveys some of your questions: http://www.hylandmcqueen.co.nz/occasional_papers/electricCars.v1.pdf
Thanks, interesting. His numbers don't add up for me, do the maths there and it says petrol costs much the same as electricity.
Check my maths, I can't see where I get it wrong;
1 gallon of gas equals 40 miles at 40mpg
1gallon = 4.4litres @ $2.25 ltr = $9.90
A car doing 40mpg uses 0.9 Kw/hr of energy per mile, total energy use for 1 gallon 36kw/hr
1 Kw/hr is a unit of power from the grid
36 units at 25cents = $9 worth of electricity
Charging etc would waste 10% taking the $9 up to $9.90
It can't be right IMO.
Who Killed The Electric Car?
Few people seem to realise that for most western nations, including NZ, transport makes up the bulk of energy use, and for individual households that use cars ( more than one in some cases) liquid fuel energy makes up 80 or 90% of energy consumption, especially in the summer.
When someone comes up with a feasible plan for doubling, tripling or quadrupling NZ's electricity generating capacity and doubling, tripling or quadrupling the capacity of the grid, electric cars might just be feasible -assuming no other major nations decide to follow the same path.
In the meantime I'll keep looking for the lumps on the side of pigs – the ones that indicate they about to sprout wings.
I think this is a very important debate, and it is not a completely black and white one.
Thinking about limits to technology doesn't mean we reject technology but we do need to hose down the masculine pipe dream that says switching from one energy source to another is a panacea, enabling us to keep on living more or less like we are.

Democrat Jon Ossoff will need to win a significant slice of Republicans to pull off an upset victory in Georgia's 6th Congressional District race. On Wednesday, he and his supporters opened a new front aimed squarely at wooing conservatives to side with him.
Ossoff held a press conference at the state Capitol outlining his plan to cut $16 billion in federal spending. He campaigned with Jason Kander, a moderate Missouri Democrat who won statewide office in a red state. And House Democrats launched an ad campaign aimed at turning conservative voters in the district against Republican Karen Handel.
"I've been reaching out to voters across the political spectrum from the beginning of this campaign," Ossoff said. "Voters in the 6th District are interested in leadership and representation that's focused less on political party and more on getting things done. And cutting waste is simply not a partisan issue."
Handel's campaign dismisses the efforts to win over Republicans, who have long dominated the suburban Atlanta district. She has worked to consolidate the GOP base and was feted Tuesday at a fundraiser with U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan — days after she appeared with President Donald Trump at a stop in Atlanta.
"This is a Republican congressional district. That's why you don't see pictures of him at his fundraiser with (U.S. House Democratic leader) Nancy Pelosi," Handel spokesman Charlie Harper said. "He's being funded by liberal groups to flood Georgia with highly scripted, poll-tested talking points designed to make Republican voters forget who he'll be working for if he gets to D.C."
It's a battle that could determine the June 20 race. Ossoff has tried to expand the electorate by targeting left-leaning voters who rarely cast ballots in the special election. But his campaign has also aimed for Republicans who are uneasy with Trump.
There is room for him to maneuver. Republicans have held the seat for decades and Tom Price breezed to victory in November, but Trump barely edged out Hillary Clinton in the district.
And although Ossoff has proclaimed himself a "make Trump furious" candidate, his more recent stump speeches and campaign ads have walked a finer line. He is more likely to talk about cutting wasteful spending and bringing jobs to the north Atlanta suburbs than to attack Trump.
It could be paying off: Analysts estimate between 10 percent and 20 percent of Republicans voted for Ossoff in the April contest. He likely needs to repeat that performance — or come close — to eke out a victory against Handel next month.
"It's appealing. I live in Johns Creek and I know that fiscally conservative message will help him reach out across party lines," said Jason Ingraham, an attorney who volunteers for Ossoff. "I'm surprised by how many Ossoff signs are in the neighborhood, but you've got to appeal to Republicans to win this district."
Some Republicans in the district, meanwhile, say Ossoff is wasting his breath.
"Ossoff peaked on April 18, and it sure doesn't seem like he's done much to convince people to change their minds about him," said Lane Flynn, the owner of a packaging equipment firm and a Republican organizer. "I don't think it's going to go anywhere. We know District 6 is a Republican district and that's not going to change."
'You'd better win'
Handel will have the full weight of the Republican Party to help her try to keep conservatives in the fold.
Case in point: Ryan hosted a Washington fundraiser for her on Tuesday and appears likely to make a trip to the district. And Trump helped her raise $750,000 on Friday afternoon after his speech at the National Rifle Association convention.
At that closed-door fundraiser, Trump recognized that this race is seen as an early referendum on his young presidency, and he turned to her with a smile and a message: "You'd better win," he said, according to five attendees.
A range of conservative groups are putting skin in the game.
The Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC with ties to Ryan, plans to spend $3.5 million in the final weeks of the race. The National Republican Congressional Committee has paid for $3.65 million in airtime, while the U.S. Chamber of Commerce launched an ad blitz Monday worth nearly $1 million.
Handel, meanwhile, has kept a lower profile in the days after her Trump appearance. But her campaign released its first digital ad, a 60-second spot about her "tough" demeanor that focuses on her decision to leave a troubled home in Maryland at 17 rather than stay with an alcoholic mother.
"That makes a person not only strong and tough," she said in the ad, "but also resilient and empathetic about other folks who are going through their own challenges and difficult situations."
'The people back home'
Ossoff is bringing his own resources to bear. He has snapped up more than $5.2 million in airtime for cable, TV and radio spots through the runoff, and that's likely just a taste of what's to come. It suggests he's added millions more to his unprecedented $8.3 million fundraising haul.
And he's getting additional help from outside groups as well.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee launched an ad Wednesday that targets conservative 6th District voters on social media with a quiz peppering them with several sharp quotes about Handel from her former rivals.
Among them were digs from U.S. Sen. David Perdue, who defeated her in the 2014 battle for an open U.S. Senate seat, and former state Sen. Dan Moody, a vanquished rival in last month's vote who has yet to endorse her.
Ossoff trekked to the state Capitol on Wednesday to outline a plan to cut federal spending that relied heavily on reports from nonpartisan budget offices.
It includes big-ticket items, such as consolidating federal data centers and consolidating military bases, long talked about by politicians from both parties. Handel's campaign said it was nothing more than an attempt to "hoodwink" voters into thinking he's a fiscal conservative.
Democrats had some backup on Wednesday from Kander, a former Missouri secretary of state who narrowly lost a challenge against Republican U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt in November. Kander now leads the Let America Vote advocacy that targets voter suppression and gerrymandering.
"He's prioritizing local economic development and local issues," Kander said. "People don't want just another person who will go out and scream about what's going on in the national level. They want someone who is going to stay focused on the people back home. And that's exactly what he's doing."

This article is about something that happened to me during the course of 2 weekends back to back just a few weeks ago. I went out to the hallway to throw out the garbage in the building I am living in and I noticed a white box beside the recycle can. I picked it up saw it was a Nintendo Wii box. It felt heavy and as I thought, nah..I opened the box and immediately saw the blue 1 and 2 boxes which hold the Wii and it's contents. I thought, could it be that someone on my floor threw a Wii out? It probably didn't work but still I had to verify this, so I looked around the hall to make sure no one was looking, It was around 12:30 am but still, I did not want to look like a garbage picker or worse..what my sister calls me…a (hoarder)..which is NOT true by the way. I do not own over 60 pairs of shoes 🙂
Inside the apartment I opened the box on the sofa and pulled it all out and to my surprise a Wii in plastic with cables, booklets and a senor bar BUT, no controller. I plugged it in and it started but with no controllers. I played with the eject button and a game slid out, it was Wii sports. The Wii screen came up and it seemed to be working so far, I put the Wii sports CD into the console and heard a low clicking sound as it tried to read the CD an error came up..A-Ha! It doesn't read the CD, this is the reason for throwing it out, but I know if I got a controller I could still use the online features and watch Netflix right?
I went online to see the procedure to opening the Wii up and will post an article as soon as I get it open and let you know If I ever get it to work. Now I know what your thinking, just buy a Wii man! Its only $129 here in the States but you see, I already own a Nintendo Wii, it's back home in Puerto Rico. I just want to see if I can get this to work without paying for repairs. I really would like to give it to my sister as a functional Wii..from her hoarder brother.The following weekend I decided to again throw out the garbage late again and this time, low and behold a PlayStation 3 box. I took it in again, looking all around to see if it was a trap. As you can see in the picture above it was a PS3 slim box but the console inside the box was in fact a PlayStation 3 Fat version.
Now had this been an old 40GB console with the front SD card slots, I would have screamed in joy, even though it probably would need repair which I would gladly pay. Just so you know, that's the version that was backward compatible with PS2 games. Not the emulated version that came out with the Metal Gear combo but the real deal first generation PS3. This version had again all the cables, but no controllers. It started up beautifully and seemed fine. I brought it to default settings, again everything was fine and I connected by own PS3 controller which I did have. I own a slim by the way and my old fat one will not stay on for more than 5 min. Anyway….again, I slid in a game and although no error message appeared and no clicking sound was heard, it failed to load and no visible CD icon showed up on screen either.
I assume the neighbors who got rid of both systems are the same and they bought new consoles. Although these systems do not play CD's, they are not quite un-usable since games,movies and TV shows can be downloaded from both Playstation Network and Nintendo's own online store. Demos and music can be enjoyed also and movies on Netflix and Hulu Plus can all be watched on them without a hitch. Isn't it amazing all the wonderful things we can do without ever putting a CD into our consoles nowadays? So you see the saying still goes..One man's garbage is another man's treasure. As for my sibling who likes to label me a hoarder..those systems are for you with love sis 🙂
