The Remarkable History of Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
When we started a few years back, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) was an emerging technology. We had to explain to people what RPA was. It’s still emerging today however, I can see that lot more people know about RPA (and the hype). But have you thought about the evolution and history of Robotic process automation?
RPA as I see it is a continuation of Computer-based process automation that has evolved over the ages.

What Algorithms and Data Structures Should Any Software Engineer Know?
Software engineering is a broad field that touches on many different areas. Applications in software engineering can be varied, ranging from scientific coding to database programming to web development to programming hardware and more. Despite all these varied applications and seemingly unrelated areas, there are core competency skills that all software engineers should have. Let’s look at those core areas in this article.
Getting Started with Compliance: Simple Steps for Critical Software Development Projects
Compliance with coding guidelines and other functional standards is an essential part of critical software development projects. However, without the right software development tools and best practices, that process can be challenging and time-consuming.
On reading this white paper, you will learn:
What is software compliance.
What are key software and coding standards.
What are key functional safety and security standards.
How a static analysis tool can make your compliance process easier and more efficient.

Delete Data, Save the Environment
Incorporating data deletion practices into information governance initiatives provides many operational and cost-saving benefits. Retention policies should address what type of data to keep, for how long, and which devices employees can use for business purposes. Factors such as compliance obligations, workflows, and case needs will influence policies. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a great tool that can be used for data deletion decisions. For example, AI-based reduction for eDiscovery provides legal teams with a more focused data set, saves resources, pinpoints key issues quicker, and streamlines resolutions.
Less data leads to better organization, lower storage costs, fewer documents to review during a case or investigation, freed up resources, and dark data reduction. This also provides valuable environmental benefits that often go overlooked.

Data Retention Policy: Everything You Need To Know
Data retention policies are central guidelines that govern how an organization handles its data. These policies help determine the purpose of data held, what laws and regulations apply to it, how long it should be kept, and how it should be archived or deleted when the time comes.
Data is the most valuable asset today’s organizations have, but a lot of this critical information is scattered, disorganized, and undiscoverable. An effective data retention policy helps you stay compliant with laws and regulations, reduce inefficiencies and extract business value from your data. A solid data retention policy can help create order in the data landscape. In this article, we’ll tell you how.

How to Test Your Antivirus, Firewall, Browser, and Software Security
So you have an antivirus program guarding your system, your firewall is up, your browser is updated, and you’re not missing any security patches. But how can be sure your defenses are actually working as well as you think they are?
These tools can also be particularly useful if you’re trying to quickly determine how secure someone else’s PC is. They can show you just how much vulnerable software the PC has installed.

Gallium: The liquid metal that could transform soft electronics
Bend it. Stretch it. Use it to conduct electricity. Researchers are exploring a range of applications that harness the element’s unusual properties.
Soon there may be devices that can stretch, bend and even repair themselves when they’re damaged. By harnessing the unusual properties of a liquid metal called gallium, materials scientists aim to create a new generation of flexible devices for virtual reality interfaces, medical monitors, motion-sensing devices and more. The goal is to take the functionality of electronics and make them softer

What your eyes reveal about your health
Scientists at the University of California, San Diego, have developed a smartphone app that can detect early signs of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological conditions. The app uses the phone’s near-infrared camera to track changes in the size of a person’s pupils at a sub-millimetre level. These measurements can then be used to assess that person’s cognitive condition.
As technology evolves, the eyes will prove more and more useful as a means of diagnosing all kinds of diseases and conditions because, by being transparent, the eye requires far less invasive methods of examination than other body parts.
But even without technology, it is possible to detect a number of health problems simply by looking at the eyes. Here are some of the warning signs.

These green books are poisonous—and one may be on a shelf near you
A toxic green pigment was once used to color everything from fake flowers to book covers. Now a museum conservator is working to track down the noxious volumes.
Libraries and rare book collections often carry volumes that feature poisons on their pages, from famous murder mysteries to seminal works on toxicology and forensics. The poisons described in these books are merely words on a page, but some books scattered throughout the world are literally poisonous.
These toxic books, produced in the 19th century, are bound in vivid cloth colored with a notorious pigment known as emerald green that’s laced with arsenic. Many of them are going unnoticed on shelves and in collections. So Melissa Tedone, the lab head for library materials conservation at the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library in Delaware, has launched an effort dubbed the Poison Book Project to locate and catalogue these noxious volumes.
