Join Stacey Brown, President of MindLink Resources, for a webinar that will examine the top 10 qualities of a quality assurance (QA) tester. Learn how to bring out these traits in your current QA staff and how to watch for these soft skills when screening new candidates.
When localizing products, the QA step is essential in confirming the translation and making sure the product was successfully prepared for the target market. Managers trust the QA staff to catch translation and engineering errors and ensure product readiness to avoid quality issues caught by the end customer. Many managers make the mistake of assigning this critical role to a linguist who may not have the right characteristics of a good tester. When selecting QA staff, it is important to consider skills beyond just linguistic and technical. There are many “soft skills” to watch for in a candidate that will give localization managers the confidence that even small errors will be reported by their tester.
In this webinar, Stacey will discuss the top 10 qualities of a quality assurance (QA) tester, how to bring out these traits in current QA staff, and how to watch for these soft skills when screening new candidates.

Analog Mixed-Signal Design in FinFET Processes Design World
While industry pundits have forecasted the end of analog design in the next leading edge process, the reality is that the practice is still going strong, and there’s no end in sight. Not only are teams still designing data converters, PLLs, filters, and other analog goodies in the latest processes (including FinFET), but design teams are reaching higher levels of performance than they did in yesterday’s processes. The new processes have, without a doubt, changed the task of analog design, and the designer’s toolkit has had to undergo a major revision. Many of our old techniques have become a lot less relevant, and today’s designer needs to have a good handle on a broad set of new techniques.
Some of the changes are a result of designers targeting processes for very digital applications (supply voltages of 0.8V and less). Others are a result of the size of the devices (matching of small devices is poor, matching of very small devices is worse). Changes are also a result of the new fabrication techniques that must be used to make the devices (unit-sized devices and no mixing of different device types - resistor and I/O device ghettos are required). Of course, there’s great news: the transistors are wonderfully fast and the digital is almost free.

-Gain an understanding of the challenges of analog design in the new world of leading-edge processes
-Learn about design techniques that take advantage of the characteristics of today’s design reality

FPGA’s, Addressing New Markets With 44 & 28 nm DevicesDesign And Reuse
The growing ASIC tape-out costs, countered by increased FPGA capacity, speed and lower cost are making FPGA’s an attractive solution for applications that have traditionally been using ASICs or ASSPs. A critical enabler for such a transition is the availability of a wider range of more complex Silicon IP cores that are proven and optimized in the new FPGA devices. Success will require Silicon IP providers, that have traditionally been providing FPGA IP, to be motivated to address more complex IP requirements and to migrate their IP to the new devices and that the traditional ASIC IP vendors shift their focus to support of FPGA requirements. Is this happening today, and what is most likely to happen in the near future?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
