Modern age
The Cold War was a period of tension between the United States and its allies against the Soviet Union and its allies from the 1940s to the early 1990s.

The Soviet Union's treatment of political prisoners during the Cold War contributed to strained relations with the US and isolation from the world.

However, the poor treatment of prisoners did not impact prisoner exchanges between the two countries.

This document examines who was to blame for starting the Cold War. It discusses the contradictory views of Orthodox and Soviet historians. Orthodox historians blamed the USSR, while Soviet historians blamed the USA. However, new evidence from archives shows that both superpowers share responsibility. While the US established policies like the Marshall Plan to contain the spread of communism, the USSR wanted to protect itself from foreign influence in Europe.

Three leaders at the end of WWII - Truman, Churchill, and Stalin - determined the fate of Eastern Europe, leaving millions under the domination of Stalin's dictatorship in East Germany.

Designing Under the Agile fog of war
Slides from my talk given at Style and Class at Hootsuite on Monday, 11th July 2014.
This talk focuses on the struggles of maintaining a good design process whilst working in an Agile development environment. I explore the concept of the Agile Fog of War, which in essence is about the levels of fidelity we can work in to create a clear vision for our product's design. It's also critical to understand that working at these varying levels of fidelity that we keep our cost of change low to ensure we remain lean and agile with our decision making.
I also throw in a couple of techniques that we use at Mobify (http://mobify.com) to ensure we keep making valuable decisions the whole way throughout our product design process.

The song covers the events in World War II leading up to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The United States tried to remain uninvolved, but after Germany sank U-boats and Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, there didn’t seem to be another option. The whole world is at war (again) in this WWII track.

- 6. Truman Diaries • "We have discovered the most terrible bomb in the history of the world. It may be the fire destruction prophesied in the Euphrates valley Ersa, after Noah and his fabulous Ark. Anyway we 'think' we have found a way to cause the disintegration of the atom bomb. This weapon is to be used against Japan between now and August 10th. I have told the Sec. of War, Mr. Stimson, to use it so that military objectives and soldiers and sailors are the target and not women and children. Even if the Japs are savages, ruthless, merciless and fanatic, we as the leaders of the world for the common welfare cannot drop this terrible bomb on the old Capital or the new . . . The target will be a purely military one . . . It is certainly a good thing for the world that Hitler's crowd or Stalin's did not discover this atomic bomb. It seems to be the most terrible thing ever discovered, but it can be made to be the most useful." -Harry Truman, from his diaries
