Interview: Jean Hanff Korelitz, author of You Should Have Known
Jean Hanff Korelitz is the author of a book of poems and four previous novels, including ADMISSION, which was adapted into a movie starring Tina Fey. Her latest work of fiction, YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN, revolves around Grace Reinhart Sachs, who is the author of a self-help book, You Should Have Known. When a disastrous series of events occurs weeks before the book's publication, Grace must create a new life for her child and herself. In this interview with Bookreporter.com's Norah Piehl, Korelitz talks about labeling her fiction as "cultural commentary" and researching self-help culture. She also explains her fascination with the dating phenomenon of "unknowing" your partner's potentially irreconcilable quirks as you're falling in love, how living in Manhattan has changed over the past 25 years, and why writing is easier in New Jersey.
Interview: Nickolas Butler, author of Shotgun Lovesongs
SHOTGUN LOVESONGS is the debut novel of Nickolas Butler, whose writing has appeared in Narrative Magazine, Ploughshares, The Christian Science Monitor and elsewhere. Along the way, he has worked as a telemarketer, a coffee roaster, a meatpacker, an innkeeper (twice), a liquor store clerk, an office manager, a hot dog vendor, and an author escort. SHOTGUN LOVESONGS is the story of four friends who were all born and raised in the same Wisconsin town, and the powerful, tensile bond of their friendship --- held together by the inescapable pull of home.
In this interview with Bookreporter.com's Jennifer Romanello, Butler talks about the inspiration behind Little Wing, the town at the heart of the novel --- a setting that is so seamlessly integrated into the plot that it's almost its own character. He also reveals why he decided to tell the story from multiple perspectives, the paradox of celebrity, and what he's working on next.
Author Talk: Isla Morley, author of Above
Isla Morley is the author of the award-winning novel COME SUNDAY. Her latest book, ABOVE, is the haunting story of teenager Blythe Hallowell, who is abducted and locked away in an abandoned missile silo. Blythe has to deal with crushing loneliness, the terrifying madness of her captor, and the persistent temptation to give up. Nothing, however, prepares her for the burden of having to raise a child in confinement. In this interview, Morley talks about her decision to add the challenge of raising a child in captivity to Blythe's already harrowing situation, taking scenes out of her book that she felt were too disturbing, and why forgiveness is so important --- even in the face of the greatest wrong done. Post-apocalyptic fiction is all the rage these days, and she also offers up an explanation as to why readers seem to be so fascinated by it.
Author Talk: Carol Cassella, author of Gemini
Carol Cassella is a practicing anesthesiologist and the bestselling author of OXYGEN and HEALER. Her latest novel, GEMINI, is about ICU doctor Charlotte Reese, who finds her morals challenged when an unconscious Jane Doe is placed in her care. Charlotte's search for the identity of the woman reveals links between herself and her patient, and the repercussions will forever change her life. In this interview, Cassella shares how her experience as a medical professional informs her writing, why the best part of medicine is the mystery, and some of the moral and ethical issues doctors face every day. She also outlines in generous detail her ideal writing life (versus the reality!) and explains why she hopes her own books will resonate with readers for longer than the time it takes to read them.

When setting up a trust, you have the option of using an independent trustee as a trustee. This is a person or entity that is not a beneficiary in the trust that votes on trust decisions and gives guidance on activities of the trust. Using a professional trustee is not a legal requirement, but is instead best practice.
trustee. An independent trustee provides 'pure' trusteeship, focusing solely on the beneficiary and acting in a fiduciary role.
A trust is more open to attack if it can be shown that the trustees are still dealing with the trust fund (assets) as if they were their own. This is more likely to occur where there is no independent trustee and the settlors are holding and dealing with the trust assets for their benefit and at their direction rather than for the benefit of the beneficiaries.
The appointment of an independent trustee also assists in the better management and administration of the trust. The appointment encourages the co-trustees to discuss the merits of a proposed transaction and ensure the decisions are documented by a resolution or minute. The appointment helps to separate the personal affairs of the settlors from those of the trust.
With the benefit of the security of a professional trustee comes the cost of its professional services. We charge, a fixed annual fee of $450+GST per annum (billed each January), and on top of this $180+GST per hour for other work, on a time and cost basis.

Frank Bethune McDonald (May 28, 1925 – August 31, 2012) was an American astrophysicist  who helped design scientific instruments for research flights into space.  He was a key force behind several initiatives and programs of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for which he served as chief scientist.

During his career, he was project scientist on nine NASA missions and principal investigator on 15 space experiments. He wrote more than 300 scientific publications.  In 1986, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.

Biography

Early life and education
McDonald was born in Columbus, Georgia to Frank B. McDonald and Lucy Kyle McDonald. After he graduated from Duke University in 1948, he attended the University of Minnesota where he obtained a master's degree in 1951. Here, under the supervision of Edward P. Ney, he completed a doctorate in physics in 1955.  For his thesis, he carried out balloon flights to the top of the atmosphere of a cloud chamber triggered by a scintillation counter to study the charge distribution of primary cosmic rays.

Iowa
In 1956, McDonald  began his career at the University of Iowa.  In collaboration with James A. Van Allen  he worked on "rockoons", which were small rockets lifted to 70,000 feet by balloons.  At this height, the rockets would ignite and shoot up to 350,000 feet, carrying equipment intended to study cosmic rays and particles trapped in Earth's magnetic field.  The same year, McDonald combined the scintillation counter of his thesis with a cherenkov detector into a balloon instrument that not only provided a novel measurement of the energy spectrum of primary cosmic ray helium nuclei, but also served as a prototype for devices carried on many spacecraft.

Goddard Space Flight Center
In 1959, McDonald became one of the first scientists to join NASA's new Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.  For the next 11 years, he carried out  cosmic ray research here as head of the Energetic Particles Branch.  During that time, he provided the conceptual framework for a series of small spacecraft known as the international monitoring platforms, or IMP.

From 1970 to 1982, McDonald was chief of Goddard's Laboratory of High Energy Astrophysics, where he helped design a satellite program with instruments that could study X-rays, gamma rays and cosmic rays.  He also led experiments flown on space probes that have gone beyond the solar system.  In particular, on Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, he helped design, build and use instruments to measure cosmic rays.

NASA Chief Scientist
From 1982 to 1987, as NASA Chief Scientist, McDonald was a principal adviser to the NASA administrator and other senior officials. In that role, he helped start a NASA partnership with historically black colleges to fund research projects by faculty members and graduate students.

He also played an active role launching NASA's Teacher in Space Project to connect schoolchildren with science and space exploration. Christa McAuliffe, the first teacher in space, died in the space shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986.

In 1987, McDonald returned to Goddard, where he became Associate Director and Chief Scientist.

Maryland
After McDonald retired from NASA in 1989, he joined the Institute for Physical Science and Technology at the University of Maryland, where he was a Senior Research Scientist until his death.

Q: Sublime Text Won't Find htdocs I'm trying to open a file in htdocs directory which is on my desktop but when I click on open folder on Sublime Text 2 it doesn't show htdocs as a directory. However I can open a file in htdocs using Sublime Text by simply clicking on it. I tried to display the path of an index.php in a browser but it only shows "." instead of the path.
I appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

A: I found that even if I create a shortcut of htdocs on my desktop the path stays the same. So for example "C:\xampp\htdocs..". I had to find that directory. In case if anyone else has the same problem.

A: Try to add the folder project at your Sublime Text, just go to Project/Add folder to Project and browse it, add a whole project or just add htdocs folder if you want, so you also can see your folder project, just go to View/Side bar/Show side bar and you can find a file search it by name with the shortcut Ctrl + P

I sure wish we had the Polyvogue Stroller in my house a few years back. Designers Andrea Hanzl, Claudia Baer, Lisa Grabner & Andrea Seitner really know how to get a child from point A to point B.
The Polyvogue Stroller is a design that is long past-due. For too long folding and stowing strollers has been a gigantic pain due to their shape and size. The Polyvogue Stroller folds up into the size of a suitcase for easy stashing and stowing. You can also change the shape of the stroller to keep up with the growth of your child.

De Wadi Zered is een wadi in het westen van Jordanië, ten oosten van de Dode Zee. In Jordanië is dit rivierdal ook bekend onder de Arabische naam Wadi Hasa. Het is de op een na langste wadi in Jordanië. De totale lengte bedraagt ca. 15 km. De rivier ontspringt bij het dorp El-Hasa en mondt uit in de Dode Zee. De wadi is onder meer bekend door zijn talrijke warmwaterbronnen.

In Bijbelse tijden was deze vallei de grens tussen het land van de Moabieten en Edom. In het Bijbelboek Numeri wordt gezegd dat de Israëlieten kampeerden bij de beek van Zered. Ook in het boek Deuteronomium kan men een referentie naar de Zeredvallei vinden.

When the army will receive modern anti-tank systems "Le Corsaire" and "Stugna": Turchinov called the timing
The latest developments of the GSC – anti-tank rocket complexes "the Corsair" and "Stugna" fall into the arms of the Ukrainian army already this year. This was reported to journalists during the opening of the first all-Ukrainian forum of private enterprises of defense industry of Ukraine NSDC Secretary Alexander Turchinov, "Interfax-Ukraine".

The Outstater: Policy Discussion Without the Discussion
(For the use of the membership only)
As the editor of something that dares call itself The Indiana Policy Review, it's important to me that Indiana policy is actually being discussed so it can be reviewed. I fear it's not.
My doubts began to surface several years ago during an early hearing on Indiana's inheritance tax. A senior Republican was pressed to explain "revenue neutrality," a concept that to my free-market mind needs a lot of explaining, a lot of discussion.
In this instance, he meant that a tax, even though admittedly unjust and regressive, would have to stand until a countervailing revenue stream could be found. Government must never get smaller; by this rule, it can only stay the same (vote Republican) or get bigger (vote Democrat).
Selling this kind of stuff on the political stage requires creativity and extreme moral dexterity. You could program your laptop for the same purpose. It is, after all, an algebraic discussion, not a policy discussion.
Consider the recent strain on the state transportation budget. The new super majority at the statehouse is not debating proposals to scale back maintenance of roadways until revenues rise to meet costs. And the leadership is not exploring better command-and-control systems, less wasteful labor contracts or more efficient bidding strategies.
Well, not right off, anyway. First, Republicans would adjust the equation by ordering citizens to pay a new tax on license plates — again, mathematics and not policy. It is too much even for the tax-and-spend crowd at the Journal Gazette in Fort Wayne:
"Less than seven years after legislators approved the Indiana Toll Road lease that was supposed to generate enough money for a 10-year road plan, one of the state's conservative fiscal leaders last week floated the idea of adding a $20 to $50 'license plate tax' on every Hoosier vehicle. That, of course, is in addition to the license fees and excise taxes and wheel taxes Hoosier already pay . . . Much of the money could go to road projects that would greatly benefit — you guessed it — Indianapolis."
That's the problem with "revenue neutral;" it's never "politically neutral." It makes for a complex legislative equation because some constituencies are more neutral than others; modern government, Republican or Democrat, insists on leaving no social problem unaddressed no matter how intractable. The result is a constantly shifting data set.
Daniel Henninger of the Wall Street Journal sees this complexity as the end of any true policy discussion:
"Government, for the past 80 years or so, has seen its purpose as mainly to 'respond' to society's failures the moment they occur or whenever they are imagined. Whether that law will accomplish its goal is irrelevant. Policy making has become an activity that supports the genetic and financial needs of policymakers and their follower tribes. The community's role, we've lately learned, is to provide revenue."
In Indiana, we have had our share of such discussion-free policy:
A high court ruling limiting property taxes results not in a cap on state spending but on local spending, the more accountable of the two.
A concern about the loss of jobs morphs into a statewide system of quasi-governmental economic-development councils that are little more than "crony capitalists next door," as one of IPR's adjunct scholars put it.
The bureaucratic inefficiencies of operating infrastructure (a state toll road) are "solved" by selling the road and all future revenues.
The inarguable need to reform public education is reduced to a voucher system that extends corruption and centralized command to private schools without addressing the source of the problem — a ruinous collective-bargaining law.
One more example, a pluperfect one, may turn out to be the most impressive government application since the parking meter — or the guillotine.
The adjustable stoplight camera can be installed at the bottom of a hill, a blind intersection or anywhere that will put hapless citizens at the mercy of traffic courts. The mechanism can be set to record more "offenses" and thereby collect more fines by merely shortening the duration of the amber warning signal, all without having to show a meaningful advance in vehicular safety.
Presto — public policy without the muss or fuss. There's no floor debate, press conference, serious discussion or, alas, beneficial effect.

USCCB's 'Bowl of Mush' Response to Attacks on Catholics
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) released a statement yesterday in response to recent attacks on Catholic parishes, statues and persons:
Archbishop Thomas G. Wenski of Miami, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' (USCCB) Committee on Religious Liberty, and Archbishop Paul S. Coakley of Oklahoma City, chairman of the USCCB's Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, issued the following statement in response to reports of increasing incidents of church vandalism and fires:
"In the last few weeks, we have witnessed, among other things, one church rammed with a car and set on fire, as well as statues of Jesus Christ and of the Virgin Mary defaced or even beheaded. An historic mission church has also been badly damaged by fire, and the cause is still under investigation.
"Whether those who committed these acts were troubled individuals crying out for help or agents of hate seeking to intimidate, the attacks are signs of a society in need of healing.
"In those incidents where human actions are clear, the motives still are not. As we strain to understand the destruction of these holy symbols of selfless love and devotion, we pray for any who have caused it, and we remain vigilant against more of it.
"Our nation finds itself in an extraordinary hour of cultural conflict. The path forward must be through the compassion and understanding practiced and taught by Jesus and his Holy Mother. Let us contemplate, rather than destroy, images of these examples of God's love. Following the example of Our Lord, we respond to confusion with understanding and to hatred with love."
This statement reads like a bowl of mush. Instead of strongly condemning these clearly anti-Catholic attacks, the bishops suggest we cannot judge the motives of these individuals involved. Really? Someone sets fire to your parish, beheads a sacred statue or scrawls satanic symbols on your church, and we cannot understand their motivations?
Compare this to the statement issued by the USCCB in response to the death of George Floyd and then ask yourself if this is the best the bishops can do when Catholics come under attack.
TAKE ACTION: Contact the USCCB leadership and RESPECTFULLY let them know how you feel about their response to the nationwide attacks on the Catholic faith.

The Oluwo of Iwo land, Oba AbdulRasheed Adewale Akanbi has declared that his assets and it includes one of Africa's billionaires, Aliko Dangote.
His Imperial Majesty, Telu 1 took to Instagram to share a reminder that no one is richer than the king, even the richest of his children.
The monarch, however, reiterates that it is a curse for him to claim to be more than his children so in that regard, he prays that all his subjects are wiser and more successful than him.
Unlike the Yoruba adage "Erin ki fon, ki omo re tun fon". (Asipa owe ni) As required of a responsible, passionate and compassionate father for his subjects, i pray that, they(subjects) should be greater than me.
The strength of my asset is measured by the greatness of my children. kings are fathers to all, of which their greatness is my glory.
I want to tell you that no one is richer than the king. You are all part of my assets. If the richest one is my child. Whose asset is he carrying? Even, Dangote is my asset, I am richer than him.
It is a generational curse for me to claim I am wiser than my children in the 21st century. I am wiser than my father and my children will be wiser than me. Solomon never saw airplane, I saw it. My children may grow to use flying vehicles.
And all things of today will be outdated one day. That is life. I pray all my subjects should be wiser and successful than me.
Who you help with your blood money and who even care if you are Rich or poor.
You are mouthed ,My Able Kind.
pls sir can you help me with my house rent of 150,000 thousand now ?
Pls na for where Iwo dey is it for North or East???
oba of owu, borrow urself brain, we own u & u dnt own us. U b our product, u belong 2 us & we can remove u bt u cannot remove us so, stop claimin lobish & boostin.

Here Are All The New Updates Coming to Google Assistant this Year
January 9, 2020	0	By Virendra Yadav
Google has announced several updates for its Google Assistant at CES 2020. Some of the important ones include the ability to schedule actions for later, read articles out loud in over 42 languages, and ease of access to privacy settings. Google further said that the assistant is now available on over 1 billion devices worldwide used by over 500 million people every month across devices like smartphones, smart speakers, TVs, cars, smart displays, and more.
Here are all the new updates for Google Assistant:
Scheduled Actions
With this feature, users will be able to ask the Assistant to perform a task in the future. For instance, you could ask the assistant to turn on a smart connected device, say an air purifier, at a specific time or ask Google to play music via Spotify in the morning when you get up. Google said that you can control over 20 new devices, including ACs, air purifiers, bathtubs, coffee makers, vacuums and more, from the Google Home app.
Screen Reading
Google Assistant will now be able to read long-form articles. "Unlike traditional screen readers, this experience is built on new voice datasets to create more expressive and more natural sounding voices, so it's easier to listen for a longer period of time. There are many potential ways in which this can be helpful, but one area we're exploring is reading webpages with long-form content on your phone—like a news article, blog or short story—out loud," the company explains in its blog post. Users need to say "Hey Google, read it" or "Hey Google, read this page" while viewing an article, and the Assistant would read it out loud. Taking this feature further, Google says that the content can be translated into 42 languages, including Hindi, German or Spanish. This feature will be available later this year on devices running Android 5.0 and above.
Ease of Access to Privacy Settings
Users will now be able to access privacy controls via the voice assistant. Users can get answers to common privacy and security questions by just asking the Google Assistant. Users can use the command "Hey Google, delete everything I said to you this week" and the activity will be deleted easily. Google is also adding new privacy-related voice actions. By saying "Hey Google, that wasn't for you," users can tell the Assistant to forget what it heard. By saying "Hey Google, are you saving my audio data?" users can learn about the privacy controls and go directly into the settings screen to change preferences.
Household Notes on Smart Displays
There is an update for Google Assistant-powered smart displays. Users will now be to create household notes on the display for family or friends living at your house. Basically, Google is replacing sticky notes that you might leave on the refrigerator.

#MeToo: Sonam Kapoor promises to speak up about allegations against Rajkumar Hirani once ELKDTAL releases
Sonam Kapoor has worked with Rajkumar Hirani in 2018 release Sanju.
Murtuza Nullwala January 31 2019, 11.55 am
It is common knowledge now that Rajkumar Hirani has been accused by an assistant director for sexually abusing her over 6 months last year. Bollywood celebs have been rather silent about this case given that many spoke up during the peak of the movement in 2018. In fact, it was only a few days ago that Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the man who has produced almost all of Hirani's directorials, too opted to keep mum on the issue. Sonam Kapoor is currently busy with the promotions of her movie Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga and last year she even starred in Hirani's Sanju. At a media interaction on Wednesday, the actress was asked about the allegations against Hirani. The actress played it safe saying she thinks she needs to reserve the judgement on this.
Sonam has been a rather vocal actor from the fraternity and expressed her opinions quite openly when the #MeToo movement was taking shape in October and November last year. So why so reserved now? "Honestly, I am a huge supporter of the #MeToo movement. There are two things that I can say about this. Number one, this is not the right platform because this film (Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga) is as important or may be more important than this whole movement. The second thing is, I know Raju Hirani very well, I have known him for many many years, I have worked with him and I have huge respect for him as a man and a filmmaker. So, I think we all should reserve judgement and be very responsible before we say anything more on this subject because we don't need to derail this movement, this movement is so important... So, do proper research. What has actually happened and understand what is happening before you pass judgment," the actress said.
Sonam latest film seems to be the reason the actress isn't saying too much on the allegations against Hirani. "I promise you after this film (Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga) releases, I will have something to say, but right now things are not clear. It will derail the movement completely. I always want to believe a woman but suppose by chance if it is not true, you know how bad it will be for the movement especially because it is someone like Raju Hirani... See with Tanushree Dutta there was a lot of truth in the article, there was a lot of research done and a lot of people came forward, so you understand where it is coming from. But over here I think we need to reserve judgement. I want to believe every woman, honestly, I am like pro-woman all the way. I don't believe in sitting on the fence. So, I will take my side when I have to," she added.
No more secrets. The 1st of February will see the truth being revealed. Book your tickets now for #EkLadkiKoDekhaTohAisaLaga using the Link in Bio. #SetLoveFree
A post shared by SonamKAhuja (@sonamkapoor) on Jan 30, 2019 at 4:33am PST
Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga releases on February 1. Given that Sonam has said she will take her stand after the film releases, we will have to wait a few more days before she makes a concrete comment on the allegations against Raju Hirani's.

Handcrafted in small batches – all natural – cold processed – vegan – unscented SOAP!
I've knit for as long as I can remember, but honestly this is my first craft show and I am so excited to be a part of it. Even though I'm the odd one out with a non-fiber related business – soap. The fiber community is such a warm (pun intended) and welcome host…thanks for letting me be a part of it.
I've always been drawn to the idea of soap making and once I got over my fear of working with lye my soaping took off quickly.
It really is just soap, but each one is so different and unique. I love being able to chose the oils, herbs and styling techniques and create such different bars.
My kids and their imagination, friends and family.
I love my Chocolate Mint Soap. All of my soaps are unscented but I love the smell and look of this one the most…such a contrast between dark and light with the beautiful swirls.
I want to get them squeaky clean with gentle vegan soap.
I'm a knitter, so all of my family and friends know to expect yarny goodness gifts from me for most celebrations. So yes, everyone is warm in my wooly gifts…oh, and their skin is clean and healthy with my soap.
Fiber is everywhere; people's perceptions have been changed. What an inspiration…..I love it!

Benefits of DevOps
2. What is the Main Purpose of DevOps?
3. What is DevOps and How Does it Work?
The DevOps meaning combines many software development phases into a collaborative cycle to promote quicker software development. Traditionally, the software development life cycle was a long process done phase by phase, where issues were found at the IT testing stage. This resulted in inefficiencies, as it gave developers and designers less time to fix issues, allowing for a greater chance of human error.
But what is DevOps exactly, and how does the DevOps life cycle improve the software development cycle? We'll cover the DevOps definition, benefits, and more in this article.
What does DevOps mean? DevOps is a name given to the set of practices that combine development and IT operations to shorten the software development lifecycle through continuous delivery and feedback. The practices also encourage better communication and coordination between different business units.
What Constitutes Dev and Ops?
You might assume that Dev, as in development, refers only to the coders – but that's not entirely true. Dev includes the entire team involved in building the product, like the design and quality assurance teams, for example. Similarly, Op, or operations, includes everyone from operations rather than just engineers – system engineers, release engineers, system administrators, DBAs, network engineers, operations managers, and more are all included.
With the DevOps life cycle, the entire lifespan of a software or product is covered.
Before we get into more details about DevOps, let's take a look at agile methodology. Many people compare and confuse agile and DevOps. While both are similar in some ways, both have different purposes.
The agile methodology involves delivering software in small, fast releases through an iterative approach. Agile doesn't focus on automation; rather, it's an approach that allows the development team and customers to communicate and give regular work updates and feedback. Learn more about Agile with this free tutorial.
Unliked agile methodology, DevOps doesn't involve communication with the customer. The DevOps life cycle is more dedicated to the internal team, specifically between the development and operations teams. It also focuses on automation and uses many tools for feedback. With DevOps, there is continuous development, continuous testing (CT), continuous deployment (CD), continuous monitoring, and continuous integration (CI).
The continuous monitoring stage ensures high quality, and the continuous delivery ensures timely delivery.
The main stages in DevOps are as follows:
Configuration Management (Continuous Development)
Formulating Test Strategy (Continuous Testing)
Deployment Pipeline (Continuous Monitoring)
Deployment Automation (Containerization & Virtualization)
Suppose a version of the software is ready for testing. Upon testing, the team notices some defects and the developers must address the issues. But what happens if these early-stage issues aren't fixed, and other issues arise as a result?
Configuration management tools allow for version control. The code rolls back immediately to the most stable previous version if an issue happens. It also ensures that there is a record of who has made any changes to the code. This helps developers segregate and work on independent issues without overwriting each other's changes.
Version control also includes database scripts, build scripts, deployment scripts, project plans, libraries, configuration files, documents, and everything else related to a particular version of the software. It also ensures that when the system fails for some reason – be it code or database or configuration changes – we know precisely what to roll back and to which point.
There are many tools for version control like ClearCase, SVN, and more. Many complex projects create different branches of the same codebase and work on individual branches. Later on, all the branches are merged to form the final source code.
What happens when many code changes are merged at once, and an error occurs or something fails? With simultaneous changes, it's hard to figure out what went wrong and in which branch, and usually takes a while.
With Continuous Integration, even the smallest of changes over the stable codebase are immediately built and tested through a set of automated test cases. If something fails, developers have to stop further development and fix the issues first. This ensures that the software is in a stable and working state at all times.
Continuous integration is the essence of DevOps, as it ensures that the code is built and tested continuously – whenever any changes are made.
Recorded changes and new versions should be created to perform a smooth CI process. Further, build scripts should be automated and always updated to be readable with more additions as the project size increases. Developers should also prepare a comprehensive automated test suite to pinpoint code errors within the build.
The CI server then performs the automated build and runs the automated tests.
Some helpful CI tools are Jenkins, Buddy, CircleCI, GitLabCI, and more.
The CI tool polls the version control tool to trigger the build, runs the tests, and generates results.
In the DevOps life cycle, a comprehensive set of tests are created to be run for each build. As project functionality grows, new test cases, both new and old, are created and run with each build.
The testing strategy phase ensures unit testing, acceptance testing, and regression testing are all done automatically for each build. Then, the feedback report is generated immediately. The only manual work left is exploratory testing by the testers.
Sometimes, the requirement changes as the project advances. The code and tests are updated based on new requirements, but we seldom find time to update requirement documents. Through automated tests and test suites, requirement documentation can be generated automatically.
As easy as it sounds, this stage puts a lot of responsibility on the automated test suites, which have to be robust enough to ensure that the system won't break if new functionalities are added and that all possible scenarios are anticipated.
Some common testing tools used are Junit and Selenium.
As we have seen earlier, CI is the essence of DevOps. However, for CI to work correctly, all stages of testing, development, feedback, operations, and release should be synced.
But total sync isn't always what happens. Sometimes, testers must wait for a stable or working build; sometimes developers get the feedback and issue reports for a previous release after they have already started work on the next release. Finally, operations teams might have to wait for proper documentation and fixes, leading to delays.
The deployment pipeline, also known as a build pipeline or CI pipeline, helps solve these delay issues. This stage of the DevOps cycle allows developers, testers, and operations to collaborate.
Once the delivery team checks in a piece of code, a build is triggered, and automated unit tests are run on it. Once these tests pass, automated acceptance tests are run. After passing this step, user acceptance testing (UAT) is done, and the product goes for release to staging or production. At every step, feedback is given, and if there is any failure, it can be corrected immediately and checked in.
Because of this continuous delivery of software versions and faster feedback at every stage, the number of issues eventually reduces, and the quality increases.
Build automation is a process where each of the build stages – retrieval of software code from the repository, code compilation, converting code into a binary artifact, and executing automated (functional) tests – are all scripted in a single file.
When the build script is executed, all of the above tasks are performed. This leads to faster delivery and better collaboration between different teams. It also ensures minimal rework and fewer defects in the build. Some popular build tools are Ant, Maven, and Make.
So what happens after the code passes the unit testing stage? For CI, the deployment process must automatically occur immediately. This stage includes installing EAR files, configuring databases, configuring server settings to suit the production environment, deploying the application to production, and restarting the servers, if necessary.
Some helpful deployment automation tools are Jenkins, Microsoft Visual Studio, AWS CodeDeploy, Puppet, and Distelli.
Also known as continuous build and deployment, every commit or action signals the CI server to perform the entire automation cycle.
Continuous delivery is the entire DevOps process – continuous delivery of artifacts through automated builds, deployments, and tests leading to on-time delivery of efficient code with minimal defects.

Many industries, like finance and telecom, demand timely results, where delays in development can cost companies immense loss of profit and customers.
For businesses that rely so heavily on met timelines, the DevOps process provides quicker and more stable code production.
For example, an online retail website can cater to customers, while new changes are being deployed to the server, reducing the downtime.
Furthermore, DevOps has given a brand-new approach to internally maintain projects and reduce testing, deployment, and integration time, reducing the overall time taken to implement new functionality.
DevOps has revolutionized project development and saved companies and IT teams tons of time and money. Here are a few of the many benefits of DevOps.
Innovation: With such an increased software production speed, companies benefit from better efficiencies to help allocate time to creative and innovative pursuits.
Collaboration: Before the DevOps life cycle, many teams would work independently, sometimes creating silos that hindered morale and productivity. DevOps assures more collaboration, improving company morale and helping teams understand their role as it relates to each other and the company goals. Better collaboration is also linked to better job satisfaction and performance.
Business Growth: DevOps improves consistency and speed, allowing companies to scale their companies at a faster rate.
Security: Before DevOps, IT teams would sometimes sacrifice security in the interest of quick delivery. However, that puts companies and customers at risk for hacking. DevOps entails automation and configuration management that ensures speed without sacrificing security.
Reliability: Continuous integration and delivery assure the quality and security of a product, as it constantly tests functionality and targets issues for quick fixing. DevOps tools also help monitor and log commits to allow companies to gain insights from metrics.
Here are some fundamental principles and practices to ensure the DevOps process runs as smoothly as possible.
Stakeholder Consultation and Participation: Collaboration is essential and characteristic of the DevOps life cycle. Companies and management teams should consult with support staff, developers, and operations teams to ensure commitment and alignment with the DevOps plan and process.
Application Monitoring: Developers and IT teams should record solutions in real-time as soon as they take place. This helps companies report on performance and improve progress over time.
Dashboards: Dashboards are a great plus in the DevOps cycle, as they allow teams to record key metrics. Best practices entail making solid use of these dashboards to help inform business strategy and improve performance.
1. What is a DevOps Example?
There are many DevOps tools available now, but one example is Slack. This tool opens communication across entire teams and individuals and provides businesses with a bird's eye view of a workflow.
DevOps helps IT teams streamline and speed up software production, improve product quality, and minimize opportunities for errors. It also encourages collaboration within teams.
DevOps is a lifecycle of practices that combines siloed IT operations into one process with continuous testing and delivery. It entails a 7-step process with consistent checks and testing to reduce opportunities for errors and maintain high product quality and team collaboration.
What is DevOps? A process and software approach that promises efficiency and accuracy. DevOps helps entire IT teams and companies produce timely, high-quality software products with a reduced opportunity for error.
