What questions would come to your mind while buying a water purifier? Obviously, whenever we decide to buy such kind of devices, there is an automatic research process that starts happening in mind. Generally, there is a kind of tussle that starts taking place between heart and mind. The heart might fall prey to intangible benefits that might have the least value in logical or commercial terms. But the mind will always question the quality and tangible benefits that play a major role in life. On the similar front, this research starts taking shape of search. We start talking about it with family and friends to find out what could be the best options to go for. A step ahead is searching on the internet, visiting relevant websites, reading relevant stuff on forums etc. to arrive at a conclusion.</div>

As
we all know, getting pure drinking water is one of the serious issues
in India. Water supply is far below the standards of quality of
hygiene our body demands. Most of this water comes from lakes and
rivers. And we all are well conversant about the condition of our
lakes and rivers. Hence, there is a regular need of purification of
water at home before we think of consuming it. Pollution has already
changed the whole paradigm of our environment. The number of diseases
and ailments as a result of impure water are increasing at a
tremendous pace. After all, it is the question of the health of our
family members. And health, I am sure, stands as a top priority for
all of us.</div>

In Landmine Defusing Challenge, "Team Autobots" got selected into the finals of HRATC conducted by ICRA in Sweden. Sastra Robotics & QBotics Labs, two separate robotic startups from Kerala who joined hands to build the Team Autobots. Indian team has thus landed into the finals of the Humanitarian Robotics and Automation Technology Challenge (HRATC). <a href="http://www.sastrarobotics.com/" target="_blank">The team</a> that is participating on behalf of the Indian startup is named Autobots. ICRA is the reputed robotics conference. HRATC is a competition conducted by ICRA in association with SIGHT (Special Interest Group for Humanitraian Technology) under IEEE.</div>

<div class="western">
The International Conference of Robotics and Automation (ICRA) aims to bring together the top scientists and researchers engaged in cutting edge robotic technologies. ICRA 2016 is organized to take place in Stockholm, Sweden from May 16<sup>th</sup> to 21<sup>st</sup>. As reported by the UN Mine Action Service, landmines are responsible for killing at least 15,000 to 20,000 people every year having a majority of children in this count. Minesweeping is quite dangerous in terms of being time intensive and abrupt. A large number of landmines that have been left behind by soldiers continue to increase terror and destruction of human lives long after the wars have been called off or finished.</div>
<div class="western">
<br /></div>
<div class="western">
Landmine casualties, in fact, bring an additional and substantial burden on war-stricken countries. For instance, if a mother gets killed or mutilated by a landmine makes her entire family at risk of disease and malnutrition. This, in fact, impacts on generations to come, in such cases. Similarly, a child when gets mutilated by a landmine creates a burden on its family, society, and health services of the country thereby impounding impact on the nation as a whole.</div>
<div class="western">
<br /></div>
<div class="western">
The Humanitarian Robotics and Automation Technology Challenge (HRATC) aims to search and diffuse hidden unexploded landmines with the use of robotics and without human interventions so as to increase efficiency and decrease risks. Autobots, the team created by Sastra Robotics & QBotics Labs, from Kerala, to accept this challenge has been rated among the top 4 teams participating globally. The final 4 teams that made to the finals of the challenge will now be competing further for the top position. Autobots currently is with the leading score among the 4 finalists. The team consists of robotics experts from QBotics Labs and Sastra Robotics. QBotics Labs specializes in robotics research and Sastra Robotics specializes in robotic arms for testing of high-end devices. The members of Autobots team include Lentin Joseph (CEO/ Founder of QBotics Labs) who is also leading the team, Achu Wilson (CTO/ Co-Founder of Sastra Robotics), and Chandykunju Alex (Robotics Engineer, Sastra Robotics).</div>
<div class="western">
<br /></div>
<div class="western">
The Solution designed by Autobots team is to detect the presence of landmines with accurate position (latitude, longitude) using all-terrain robot, Husky. Husky is not developed by the Team Autobots or any of the contestants. It is developed and manufactured by some company under the guidance of SIGHT. The first half of Husky is the hardware, and that is taken up by SIGHT. The second half of Husky is the software application that makes it do landmine detection and being autonomous at doing it; this is done by the contesting teams. Team Autobots and the other teams made the software half of Husky, not the hardware half. Accuracy and efficiency are the keys that define Husky's work style.<br />
<br />
This is definitely a proud moment for Indian Robotics to get such recognition at the global level. The final round is on May 17<sup>th</sup>.<br />
<br />
Update as of June 1st: <b>Team Autobots has won 1st prize in HRATC at ICRA-2016</b>. </div>

Binary Caves is India’s fastest growing web company. With the <a href="http://binarycaves.com/" target="_blank">emerging technologies</a> and digital era the functioning philosophy of web companies has changed tremendously. India is the most impacted by the exponential growth in digital spectrum among all developing countries across the globe. Based on a well-researched estimation, there would be more than five billion people in the online community by 2020. This figures out to be two-thirds of the overall population of earth. India would be sharing the biggest chunk of this figure of five billion people. But the catch is that more than a billion people in India are still not connected to the internet. That is where the role of startups like Binary Caves comes into the picture. These startups need to transform India to Digital India with the help of innovation, disruptive technologies and precise deliverables on their platter.</div>

Although there is a huge growth seen in the emergence of startups, digital marketing, and web companies in last decade. Most of these companies have failed or are on the verge of failure because of adopting redundant methodologies, unprofessional approach in design and development, and unclear vision. Almost 85% are grabbed by the black-hole of failure because of the reasons mentioned above. With newer technologies, newer approach and methodologies are required. Adopting obsolete technologies, approach or methodologies would lead such companies to failure.</div>

Binary Caves has become fastest growing web company because of not getting trapped in such obsolete processes. The company emphasizes on delivering the best web design with clear visibility of the purpose. Any website these days has to be responsive as most of users prefer to browse on-the-go on their smartphones. The navigation has to be precise and seamless; thanks to the social media and digital era that has raised the expectations of end user to tremendous heights. There has to be clarity and the site has to be effective.</div>

The Gurgaon based startup has taken a big initiative with a motive of reducing carbon footprint in the cities of India. The beginning has happened in Gurgaon city in the NCR region as a pilot project. It has completed 1 lac kilometres. Next objectives are to launch these initiatives in various other cities including Delhi, Goa, and so on. Vineet Mehra, Founder of this Green Mobility innovative ebike service <a href="http://gowithdot.com/">company</a> probably felt the need of it and thus launched MyDot app.</span></div>

The company desires to bring in sustainability in the transport model in a greener way by least offending the environment. The company plans to run its vehicles with no noise or air pollution. DOT would be using all electrical vehicles thereby reducing carbon footprints. Air pollution is among the major concerns in India and this initiative is something what the country needs in various verticals.</span></div>

On the other hand, these electrical vehicles will consume a large amount of electricity for recharging of their batteries thus increasing load on electrical production and availability. Can these vehicles have a solar panel on their top in a secured manner to keep recharging the vehicle’s batteries on the go?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">What must be the qualities of an education portal, like CollegeDunia, to qualify for Quality regarding its usability and end user comfort in all aspects.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This education portal aims to become Zomato of education and soon, within next 6 months. Currently it lists around 700 colleges, offering 1500+ courses.

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Overall an effective portal. The search engine is quite impacting. Suppose you search for "IIT" you get a listing of 36 colleges, <a href="http://www.iitkgp.ac.in/" target="_blank">IIT Kharagpur</a> being on the top.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.950000762939453px;">A large number of project managers who were recently surveyed by a UK based company for consolidating data for UK based project managers and thus using this data to drive out some conclusive results came out with stunning results. Only 28% of the project managers said they are happy where they are currently with the job profile they carry and are not thinking about a change in job. On the other hand a whooping 67% of project managers expressed their consent in not having a fair amount of satisfaction in their current job and profile and are looking for a change in job at a new place.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.950000762939453px;" /><img class="alignnone" height="326" src="http://www.colemans-ctts.co.uk/images/uploads/content-images/cache/ONS-640x326.jpg" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.950000762939453px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;" width="640" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.950000762939453px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.950000762939453px;">As per the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the latest release states that the salary in UK has acquired slowest rate of growth. In a parallel note released by Arras People, it says that the low increase in salaries specially in the project management industry has severely impacted on them. 75% of the project managers working in some of the excellent companies confirmed that their salary hike was far less than the inflation rate this year. Out of this 93% of the project managers are working in public sector organizations. Based on these figures, it is quite easy to rule out the level of disappointment and dissatisfaction among project managers in the United Kingdom.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.950000762939453px;" /><img class="alignnone" height="225" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSpTOLz0V9doaUoep56M5bXYnIgxR5K_U3nHgAKESy3DInMGqTK" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.950000762939453px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;" width="225" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.950000762939453px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22.950000762939453px;">Contrary to this, the demand of project managers is on rise and has upsurged by 13% as compared to previous year (2014 vs 2013). 68% of the companies have confirmed that the recruitment of project managers in their organization has put a positive impact on business growth.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">O Home, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Give me your soul</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and take mine</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">so that you become my House</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And I become your Heart!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I woke up in my dream yesterday night (or rather today early morning, as it is said that the early morning dreams have higher chances of becoming true!). There was a light blue streaming soothing light all around, universally scattered thereby making everything blue and blissful). I was totally mesmerized. There was a white God-like shape standing in front of me and asked me to ask for a wish from him. I thought for a while and then asked to wish my home to become a high-tech. And it was granted by giving me a secret link to land in the huge world of digital arena, internet, visit the place and select three best items to make my wish true.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Wow! Without bothering to go for another nap, I decided to land at the portal. First item that drew my attention was a simple and sweet looking <span style="color: #373435; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Little India Pure Brass Antique Design Real Telescope
Gift -157</span> that was so cute that I instantly decided to pick it up. Reason was to search for God every night in the sky, find him and talk to him for a while. If not, then at least I will have God's representatives - Moon, Galaxies, Stars etc. to gossip around.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Next to steal my attention was a beautiful, gorgeous and gregarious <span style="background-color: white; color: #373435; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.35;">MeSleep Red Monument Digitally Printed Cushion Cover </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">so bright that it looked sure to bring a permanent brightness in my life. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.950000762939453px;">Basecamp Networks, a Georgia based development company has unveiled their latest product IntelliScout. IntelliScout is a web application that is closely integrated with Google Glass which is specially meant to assist Crop Scouts, Farmers and Agriculture community. Basecamp Networks has a motto of changing the idea of work through technology and that is what they emphasize on while working on their any of the projects. They believe in building ecosystems that are sustainable and smartly built. The core purpose is to make technology to work for real cause with real kind of solution.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.950000762939453px;" /><img class="alignnone" height="219" src="http://static.squarespace.com/static/51f9a489e4b0339e6c66ab8c/t/538f4dd3e4b0e3b14d36dfd6/1401900505609/?format=750w" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.950000762939453px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;" width="678" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.950000762939453px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.950000762939453px;">So, the project makes it possible to look at a crop in real time irrespective of the geographic distances. In a hands free mode, once can take field notes, pictures of crops, videos, etc. and sharing it in real time so as to get engaged in a discussion. The crop scouts, who are more worried about the enemies of crops – pests, fungal infestations or rodents; are bound to get a lot of assistance from this solution. The application, IntelliScout, uses Google Glass for logging issues encountered during the surveys being done by crop scouts and sharing the real time data in real way in shape of notes, videos, snaps or any other form. The best thing is that it does not require a laptop, smartphone or camera.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.950000762939453px;" /><img class="alignnone" height="253" src="http://static.squarespace.com/static/51f9a489e4b0339e6c66ab8c/t/538f4de7e4b0e3b14d36dfed/1401900534161/?format=750w" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.950000762939453px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;" width="646" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.950000762939453px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'NeueHaasGroteskText W01', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.950000762939453px;">The year long project by Basecamp Networks got over in March this year after which its testing began.

<span style="font-size: large;">Google X is a research division of Google Inc. and is currently engaged in a deep study of a human body and its connection with being healthy. The discovery is focusing on an inside out study of human body to understand how a perfect and healthy human body appears. The project is being termed as Baseline Study in which the research wing of Google is busy in collecting and studying genetic, molecular and cellular architecture based information from human body so as to arrive at a conclusion regarding the health patterns in a human body. These health patterns are termed as Biomarkers, also known as biological markers.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Once the concept of health patterns is captured in a right manner, will tremendously help in detecting and treating of serious unharnessed diseases and shall lead to a major breakthrough in medical sciences. Something which has never been achieved so far. This would help in ascertaining at a very preliminary stage about people who are prone to acquire chronic diseases at a later stage of their life, due to some inheritance in their genes, or some risky living patterns like smoking and drinking. If this diagnosis will happen at an earlier stage, it will help in mitigating the risk of loss of life or low chances of survival.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The research which started with 175 people whose tissue and body fluids samples will be the part of research, is being planned to increase to 1000 people for arriving at more accurate results.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">When Facebook launched its IPO in 2012 under heavy expectations, speculations and rumors from investors, public and corporate world; it never knew the bad treatment it was going to get when the prices were reached to half in a period of 3 months. Keen watchers remained stuck to the movement of its stocks in the market. Either Facebook has remained as a secret planner for earning money without disclosing its strategies in advance, or the financial stalwarts have not been able to judge the weakness or strength of its scrip.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><img class="alignnone" src="http://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/stltoday.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/d/43/d43b7286-4ed9-542a-9eb0-40af5dd6ec17/53d2e66adda63.preview-620.jpg" height="432" width="620" /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There is no doubt that after the launch of its IPO, Facebook had a bad period of struggle in the market. The projected inflows and earnings were not as per the agenda and even during a period of one year after the launch, Facebook's earning from mobile advertising was not as it had anticipated. The speculations and rumors have been sidelined with the latest press release by Facebook where they declared their earnings for the second quarter of 2014. As per the results, Facebook has achieved to increase its revenue to 67%. Its weakest area of earnings through mobile ads has become now quite a strong piece of the overall revenue by having a contribution of 60%.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><img class="alignnone" src="http://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/stltoday.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/d/a0/da0b5ab7-419c-57d5-93ac-1b350f474de2/53d2dee98ccdc.preview-620.png" height="460" width="620" /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">With increasing profit margins and its end users base, Facebook has become a top most ranker in terms of ad seller. With these results announced, Facebook shares price had a whooping jump by 5% and the current share price of USD 75.2 is almost double of the initial offering of USD 38 IPO.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Extreme Programming is one of the aspect of Agile Processes and probably among the most popular ones.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It has proven and established its success on global front</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is independent of the project size, industry size or industry type.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The topmost priority of Extreme programming is customer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It focuses on delivering what is actually required by the organization rather than talking about a delivery of big elephant with no clear vision of delivery date.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Instead of committing to produce everything it promises to produce what is the first need of organization. So once this gets delivered the next most important requirement becomes the first.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This way Extreme Programming never takes complete customer requirements in one go. It starts with outer periphery moving inwards.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It has proven its capability in providing a last minute change in the business requirement even during the time of delivery in a swift manner.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It puts a high emphasis on team collaboration and customer engagement in a constant manner.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Its simple mechanism has proved to be highly effective and productive.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It talks about least monitoring and high amount of self organization to produce highly efficient results.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The role of tester begins along with the developer and both go hand in hand.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Above with continuous engagement with customer promises to deliver any suggested changes with quicker implementation.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><img class="alignnone" src="http://usability.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Dilbert-comic-strip-for-04_14_2001.jpg" height="320" width="640" /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In continuation from my previous post on <a href="http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/quality-assurance/9-facts-about-user-stories/" target="_blank" title="9 Facts About User Stories">user stories</a>, the basic fact about user stories remains established that it is a powerful mechanism to drive a project in a more promising mode. The results are more predictive in this way, quicker, and the whole game is played with a very low risk. Driving a new application development project based on user stories is not only interesting but high result oriented also.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">User stories must be strongly depicted to provide low risk clue to declare the timelines. Release of user stories depends varies not more that 3 weeks and less than a week. While the development team starts working on a specific user story, it must be carried out in a most isolated state, with no interference, no other priorities and no alterations in plans. The developers must be very clear about the scope and boundaries of story. If a story is stretching beyond 3 weeks for its release, it needs to be fragmented into smaller pieces so as to arrive arrive within the limit of 1 to 3 weeks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Similarly if a story is estimated to be released in less than a week's time, it needs to be added to some other stories so as to lengthen the release time but keeping in mind that the combined time should not go beyond 3 weeks. A release plan contains release dates of a number of such user stories. Stories are always business process centric. </span><br />
