Saager & Deepak - Automated acceptance testing on iOSvodQA
Automated acceptance testing helps verify that an iOS app works as intended before release. The document discusses tools for iOS automated testing like iCuke and UIAutomation, demonstrating their capabilities and limitations. While UIAutomation integrates directly with apps and supports gestures, it cannot run without a device. iCuke can automate the full testing process but has less direct app integration. Both tools have advantages for different types of iOS automated testing needs.
This document discusses a study that examined whether English speakers learning Spanish would eliminate aspiration of voiceless stops like "p", "t", and "k" after practicing pronunciation. Nine students participated, with five in the experimental group practicing a technique to reduce aspiration and four in the control group. Pre- and post-tests showed that the experimental group greatly improved in eliminating aspiration, while the control group showed almost no change. The results confirmed that focused practice can help English speakers improve pronunciation of these Spanish sounds.

How to Leverage Social Media to Grow Your BusinessJa-Nae Duane
Want to know how to leverage social media to grow your business. Here is a presentation Ja-Nae Duane did for the Internet Bootcamp in Boston on how a small business can build out its strategy.
The Romans built a 120 km long wall that was six meters high in places, with military camps spaced every seven km, to defend their empire that spanned 4,000 km. While the rich and poor lived very differently, they both enjoyed frequenting the free public baths. The Romans established the foundations of their civilization on the seven hills near the Tiber River, with the legend telling of brothers Romulus and Remus, and the transition to a republic after King Tarquinius Superbus.
The Romans lived their daily lives according to a strict schedule, getting up at daybreak and going to bed early. People did not go out in the evenings for safety reasons. Public baths were an important part of Roman life, where everyone would go to get clean. The Baths of Diocletian were large, open-air public baths with separate areas for men and women, as well as hot and cold pools. By 300 AD, there were over 850 public baths in Rome where people would socialize and exercise in the open air.
Learnings from Hybrid App Testing Jijesh MohanvodQA
This document discusses testing a hybrid book reader application built with Phonegap, HTML5, and CSS3 for the iPad. It recommends testing the app on actual devices rather than simulators due to differences in user interactions, screen sizes, and orientations. The document outlines areas to focus testing on, including app performance, memory usage, compliance with App Store guidelines, handling of user gestures and touch events, and network connectivity in various conditions. Automated testing is suggested but noted to have limited support for hybrid apps. Testing across multiple devices using a mobile grid is proposed for report consolidation.
1. The document discusses how data helps prioritize ideas and determine the success of projects.
2. It provides an example of using data to justify improving a signup flow based on past experiment results and goals to grow user numbers.
3. An A/B test was run to move the email confirmation step which resulted in more users making it through signup but less email activations, though overall user retention improved.
The document discusses various home construction and renovation topics such as water management, foam and cellulose installation, solar home design, air sealing tests, infrared imaging, garden fence design, and the construction of a custom wine room. It provides before and after photos showing the renovation process and results of projects from 1977 to the present.

Portugal decriminalized the use and possession of all drugs for personal use in 2001. This shifted the treatment of drug addiction from a criminal justice issue to a public health issue. As a result, Portugal has seen a decline in drug use rates, drug-related crime and HIV infection rates, as well as increased uptake of treatment for drug addiction.
Japan and Poland have maintained friendly diplomatic relations since establishing ties in 1919. The two countries have collaborated on economic and political issues. Both seek to strengthen bilateral cooperation and exchanges between their peoples.
