Choosing a Web Testing Service - What You Need to Know

For anyone who is into software development, then you need to know how important a software testing service is. You may be in a big hurry to get your software released into the market and start making lots of money, but if you do not have it examined first before you release it, then you may be in trouble.

Using a software testing service may delay the release date of your software, but it will keep you from engaging in trouble.

A testing service is merely like the name appears. It is a service that will test your software to see bugs and errors. This will help to ensure that the application program is working properly before it is released. These services will have standardized quality control testing that each software set must pass before it is suited to release. You can also prefer to look for best software testing services that handle your project effectively. 

Do you want another good reason to use a tests service? They will discover problems that can cause damages to a company by the software. Intended for instance, if your software is supposed to perform certain calculations and there is a mistake in how the calculations are built, you could wrap up getting sued because this problem could cost any company that uses your software a lot of money. No one wants to take the liability for damages caused by a faulty program.

That you can do a search online to find a range of services available. You can decide on an offshore testing company for the lower prices or perhaps you may choose to use the one that is available in your country. No matter what, try to get tips from other people that hired them and used their services.

Read their website carefully to make certain that they follow a standardized protocol for testing. Be prepared to wait a while for the results of your software testing. There are so many intricate details which a good software tests company will check for in your software that it will take some time. They have to also put your software through many testing phases to ensure user compatibility.

So if you are into building software or are starting your own software building company, do not omit this step. When you get to release your new software, you want to be able to know certainly that it is the best software that it can be. It offers the difference between making and breaking your software development business.

While new technologies emerge, more testing procedures are being developed and implemented by organizations across the world to ensure that new software performs according to their requirements and specifications even when additional functionality is introduced into the software.

The rising testing solutions, that happen to be driven by new technology, are made to reduce the time and resources necessary for examining in order to improve the look of the quality control as well as the good quality peace of mind services associated with software development.

Some additional types of testing, which are currently used in the software industry are white box testing, system assessment, non-functional testing, acceptance assessment and integration testing. Every of these testing was developed to distinguish and solve application/software limitations in a specific set of conditions; hence they are useful for software testing taken out in case of specific quality assurance and testing procedures.

A key area to focus on when considering a software testing company is its software testers. Today there exist two popular certifications, ISEB and ISTQB. Try and ensure that the software testers at least hold these certifications at foundation level.

The Dangers of Snorkeling

The Dangers of Snorkeling

Planning a vacation in the Caribbean or another beautiful, tropical location? Along with flight plans, hotels, and work arrangements it will be beneficial to plan for recreation, particularly snorkeling. Although you can arrive and receive some information and equipment that will allow you to experience the captivating undersea adventure, your experience will be much more positive and fulfilling if you prepare ahead of time. Problems vacationers have experienced range from leaking masks to unnecessary injuries. Many of the dangers of snorkeling manifest themselves because the participants have a lack or preparation or training and can be avoided.

Most areas have resources to learn snorkeling. Lessons will prepare you to be comfortable with using equipment and also allow you practice with techniques of keeping water out of your snorkel and how to dive underwater. Keeping water out of your snorkel is very important. Breathing in water can cause choking and other problems. Drowning is a danger when snorkeling. Taking time to learn snorkeling before you go on vacation will also allow you to test equipment. There are snorkels with "dry tops" on them which is a one way valve that will close off the top of the snorkel when you go underwater or have a wave splash over you. It is also important to be comfortable with equipment so when you enter the open waters if get separated from your group you do not panic.

When you find something you like it is nice to buy your own and bring it with you. One thing people don't like is the thought of a hundred people using the mask and snorkel before them. Another concern with a resorts equipment is that equipment fits different on everyone and the mask they provide may not be comfortable, fit your face well and therefore leak, or be the style you like for seeing the underwater life.

Follow directions on where to snorkel and stay in bounds. The equipment that you wear if very important, particularly your life preserver. Unlike a pool, an ocean has currants. Even if it looks calm, there can be dangers. If something should happen you will be able to stay afloat while you wait for rescue. Having a guide can be helpful especially if it is your first time. Never go alone. If you do not have a guide practice have along at least one other individual. The snorkeling area should be marked off with buoys. Some snorkeling areas may not be marked off. If this is the case you should use a dive flag and also extreme caution. If boats can come into the open water they propose a danger as they can hit divers and cause injuries.

While snorkeling in shallow waters the sun is constantly beating down on you and will cause sunburn. Apply your sunscreen often. Waterproof sunscreen can still come off in the water over time. Reapply every one to two hours for maximum protection. Severe burns can occur if this precaution is not taken. Along with the physical ramifications, the enjoyment of your vacation will be cut short.

There are animals that propose some threats, although not severe. Coral is beautiful and prevalent in the ocean, but also dangerous. Coral is sharp and can cause cuts and abrasions on the skin. These cuts are slow to heal. Also if coral is damaged it takes a long time to regrow and snorkelers should be cautious to avoid injuring this animal. Another animal that can cause injury are sea urchines. They have spikes that can break off and get trapped in your skin if you brush against them. These pieces, if trapped in your skin can be painful and can get infected. Be aware of your surroundings and where you are going. You want to avoid touching dangerous animals and colliding with other participants.

Snorkeling can be enjoyed by the entire family. Preparing before hand can make it a positive experience for everyone and very safe. Being aware of the potential dangers and learning how to prevent them is the key to a successful trip.

Choices in Hurricane Window Protection

Image source: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/30/22/33/302233d2b4960a826a5997e9d6d21f27.jpg

Choices in Hurricane Window Protection

Hurricane shutters are the most economical, therefore the most popular solution chosen by homeowners. However, hurricane impact windows and doors are also very popular because of the added benefits of convenience, security enhancement, better energy efficiency, sound proofing and its attractiveness over shutters. The least expensive system is plywood or panels; these offer great protection, but take a great deal of time to install.

Your considerations: Cost, appearance, and convenience (this one is often under estimated).

First, understand what it is your protecting: it's not just the shards of glass from the broken window that are dangerous - having your roof blown off will really get your attention. During a hurricane, the strong wind that blows over your home creates a 'lift' effect on your roof. If a window or door opening is blown open during the storm, this creates an additional upward 'push' on the roof, thus doubling or tripling the lifting effect. This is how roofs are blown off.

Here are the vitals on your choices for hurricane window protection for your home.

Myth Buster- Window Film and a little info on Impact Windows:

Window film can reduce the sun's damaging rays into your home and it is promoted to be a theft deterrent. It may also very well reduce the chance for shards of glass to go flying through your home in the event of a hurricane, but do you really think slapping a thin piece of film on your existing windows is going to keep your roof on in the event of a hurricane? By comparison, impact windows are almost three times as thick as regular window glass. Hurricane windows are made up of two layers of glass and sandwiched between these layers of glass is a strong tear resistant interlayer (film) that keeps the glass together in the event it is broken. They are much like the windshield of automobiles.

A key factor in the strength of impact windows is how the glass & interlayer are VERY securely attached to a reinforced frame (both mechanically and thru the use of industrial adhesives) so the impact glass does NOT detached even under extreme pressure. The goal is to establish hurricane window protection for all openings (whether one does this through the use of hurricane shutters or hurricane windows, or a combination of the two) and keep the openings sealed so as to not cause a change in pressure inside the home thus blowing off the roof. The idea of putting hurricane window film on a regular window with its lightweight frame and expecting it to even remotely resemble a Miami-Dade approved impact window is ridiculous. Yes, it would be better than nothing, but your money would be better spent on plywood.

Plywood Shutters ($2 - $4 / sq. ft.):

A popular and effective choice, installing plywood shutters to fit snugly inside the window or door frame is an efficient and affordable option for homeowners. These shutters were effective even in the highest winds of Hurricane Andrew, and are relatively easy to install. If you are going to use this method, the plywood needs to be 5/8" to 3/4" thick, and since it takes a lot of time to prepare, it should be cut to size way before we have a storm bearing down on us.

Positives:
Most inexpensive of all hurricane protective systems
Strong and can provide excellent protection

Negatives:
Require storage, but can be stacked
Heavy and difficult to handle, hanging may require more than one person
Require the most time to install
Not a safe option for 2 story homes

Storm Prep: 20 " 25 minutes per window (if pre-cut); 5 to 8 hours for an average home

Storm panel hurricane shutters ($5 - $8 / sq. ft.):

Another popular and effective choice, these hurricane shutters are typically steel or aluminum corrugated panels that attach to the walls around windows and doors. There are several mounting methods using either pre-mounted tracks and bolts or just bolts.

Positives:
Most inexpensive of the 'permanent' hurricane shutter systems
Strong and can provide excellent protection
Can be installed by a handy DIY

Negatives:
Require storage, but can be stacked
Can be heavy and difficult to handle, hanging may require more than one person
Time consuming - other than plywood, these require the 2nd most time to install
Have sharp edges " can be dangerous
Not a convenient option for 2 story homes

Storm Prep: 15 - 20 minutes per window; 4 to 6 hours for an average home

Accordion Hurricane Shutters ($15 - $18 / sq. ft.):

Accordion hurricane shutters are attached directly to your home at the window or door opening, folded up when they are not in use and easily unfolded, accordion-style when you need to cover and protect the opening during a storm.

Positives:
Easily deployable by one person when they are needed.
Permanently attached next to the window, don't require storage.
Some can be locked and may be used as a theft deterrent.

Negatives:
Bulky and not attractive. Seriously consider aesthetics before purchasing these.
More mechanical parts, so may require more maintenance than other devices.

Storm Prep: 30 minutes for an entire home

Colonial and Bahama Hurricane Shutters ($18 - $28 / sq. ft.):

These are louvered hurricane shutters that attach directly to the wall beside or above the windows

Positives:
Permanently attached next to, or above the window, don't require storage.
Easily deployable by one person when they are needed.
Since they are decorative they can beautify the home as well as protect it.

Negatives:
Cannot be used as protection for doors, must be combined with another system.
Designs and style may limit their use.

Storm Prep: 30 minutes to an hour for an entire home

Roll-Down Hurricane Shutters ($35 - $55 / sq. ft.):

These hurricane shutters attach permanently above the window in an enclosed box when they are not in use and roll down, either manually with a hand crank or electronically by motor, when you need them.

Positives:
Permanently attached next to, or above the window, don't require storage.
Easily deployable by one person when they are needed.
Since they can be locked, they make an excellent theft deterrent.

Negatives:
One of the most expensive systems.
Requires a battery backup so they can be operated during power outages.

Storm Prep: Minimal, easiest of the hurricane shutter systems

Impact Windows ($40 - $55+ / sq. ft.):

Hurricane impact windows can withstand hurricane debris and completely eliminate the need for hurricane shutters. It costs more to retrofit an existing home, but is most cost effective if a homeowner is considering replacing old windows anyway. This is the most value added of the hurricane window protection systems, since impact windows also improve energy efficiency, are an excellent theft deterrent, provide sound deadening from outside noises, as well as give your home hurricane window protection in the event of a storm. Further, adding new impact windows is likely to increase the value of your home, more so than with any of the other hurricane protective systems.

Positives:
Eliminates the need for hurricane shutters
Great for people with 2nd homes- the home is hurricane ready all the time.
Excellent theft deterrent, nearly impossible to break thru the glass.
Added value of sound deadening & energy efficiency over regular windows.

Negatives:
Like roll-down shutters, this is one of the most expensive systems.

Storm Prep: NONE

CONCLUSION:

Keep in mind that if the aesthetics of shutters is bothering you, but the cost of impact windows is nearly out of reach, you can always combine the two. Install impact windows on the front, and possibly the sides of your home. Then protect the window openings that are cannot be seen from the street with shutters.

And don't underestimate the hassle of installing shutters every time there is a hurricane warning. I frequently go out to do estimates for impact windows on homes that have shutter panels because the homeowner is tired of dealing with installing them.

Finally, if your existing windows are in need of replacement because they are old, I encourage you to retrofit them with impact windows since the cost difference between non-impact windows with hurricane shutters versus only impact windows is marginal.

Once you have narrowed your choices to what type of hurricane window protection system is best for your situation, talk to an expert to help you in your final selection. Depending on which of the above systems best suits you, be it hurricane shutters or impact windows, there are many different style choices, and manufacturers who offer different options. Window contractors are your best experts. How to find one? Ideally, get one who is referred to you by a family member, neighbor or a friend. If they have done a good job for them, this person can provide you with a wealth of knowledge that has been learned over the years. If you must select a contractor you find online, check out their references (at least 5), call them, and go look at the contractor's work.

The Dangers of Noise Pollution

Image source: http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff389/veggieshop/Hazel2015/Harmful%20effect%20of%20Noise%20Pollution.jpg

The Dangers of Noise Pollution

Too much noise can make you deaf. If you think this is a joke, ask the estimated 10 million Americans who had had this kind of hearing problem.

The kind of deafness problem they have is what is known as noise induced haring loss. This occurs when too much noise hurts the hair cells in the inner ear and it can result in permanent damage. If this should happen, you will have to use haring aids since there is no way to correct the problem.

You will know when you begin to have this hearing problem when you have a hard time hearing what someone is saying. You will probably have to move closer to that person and even tell them to repeat what they just said.

Two factors that cause deafness problems are time and the intensity. Time is the duration at which you were exposed to it while intensity is measured in decibels.

Almost everyone works a 9 to 5 job or something similar to that which is equivalent to 8 hours. If you happen to work in an environment with noise levels of up to 85 decibels or even more, you could lose your hearing and it is only a matter of time.

You don't become deaf only from working in a loud environment. Studies have shown that this can also happen if you are exposed to firearms, loud explosions, certain hardware equipment, going regularly to a rock concert, using an MP3 player, watching television or listening to the radio, riding a motorcycle or snowmobile, farm machinery and selected children's toys.

What is so astonishing about this deafness problem is that you don't feel any pain. It is only when you go somewhere that there is not that much noise that you will notice a "ringing" in your ears and might have a hard time hearing people. This does go away after a few hours or several days but if this happens regularly, this will become permanent.

Some of the early signs of noise induced hearing loss aside from having something repeated to you include the need to turn the volume higher and not being able to hear high pitched sounds. If you think you have this problem, it is best to have your ears checked by a trained professional.

Can this deafness problem be prevented? The answer is yes and this is done by using the proper safety equipment. Examples of these include canal caps, earplugs and earmuffs. You can buy this in the drugstore or from the hardware store.

You should make sure to keep this clean and in good condition at all times. If it is not as effective as it was before, be sure to replace it.

Now that you know that there is such a thing called noise induced hearing loss, you should take the necessary precautions so you don't lose your hearing. If you don't need to buy ear protection, don't stay too long in places that have loud sounds.

As an added precaution, have yourself checked annually by a certified audiologist especially if your job is a high risk for hearing loss. These jobs include construction, farming, firefighting, law enforcement and music. Your employer should provide free hearing protection but if they don't, you should get what is needed to avoid becoming deaf.

The Current Status of the Treaty of Amity Between the USA and Thailand

Image source: http://isaanlawyers.com/images/letter%20of%20confirmation.jpg

The Current Status of the Treaty of Amity Between the USA and Thailand

Much confusion surrounds the US-Thai Treaty of Amity and Economic Relations, or simply the Treaty of Amity as most expats refer to it in Thailand. The confusion surrounding the treaty stems from its precarious status with regard to the WTO treaty signed by Thailand nearly fifteen years ago and the, currently mothballed, Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Thailand. Many people wonder if the Treaty is still in force and if it is, then how much protection does it really offer?

A QUICK EXPLANATION OF THE TREATY AND ITS HISTORY

The Treaty of Amity was signed in 1966 and replaced an older treaty and was basically an updated version. There were several important rights conferred in the treaty, not the least of these was the right of Americans to own all the shares of stock in a Thai Limited Company and for that company to receive "National Treatment." What this means is that in the eyes of the law the Treaty of Amity Company with an American majority owner is treated the same as if the majority owner were Thai. Therefore, a company registered under the Treaty of Amity is not treated as a "foreign" company, but a Thai company.

For many American expats in Thailand, the treaty has been a godsend over the years because it has allowed them to own their businesses outright and not need to deal with the vagaries of the Foreign Business Act (the most recent incarnation is the Foreign Business Act of 1999). The Foreign Business Act states that all, or virtually all, foreign owned companies need to obtain a foreign business license in order to operate. Obtaining a foreign business license is no easy feat depending upon which type of business classification the company in question falls into.

To make a long story short: The Treaty of Amity allowed Americans to own the majority of a Thai business without needing to get a Foreign Business License. There are still a few areas not covered by the Treaty of Amity, most notable is the fact that even an Amity Treaty Company cannot own land.

THE TREATY OF AMITY IS GREAT: WHERE'S THE CONFUSION?

The confusion regarding the Treaty of Amity deals with the WTO (World Trade Organization) and the treaty Thailand signed with them nearly 15 years ago. Under the WTO rules, no nation can give any one nation preferential rights over any other. This means that Thailand is in violation of its WTO obligations by allowing ONLY Americans the right to own a company outright with national treatment. If Thailand extended the privilege to citizens of the other member nations of the WTO, then the problem would end there because Thailand would be in compliance with the WTO. Since Thailand does not seem likely to do this they are in violation of the WTO because unequal privileges are extended to the US. Thailand was given an exemption period in 1995 to get their laws in order. This exemption lasted for ten years and expired in 2005. Since then, Thailand has technically been in violation of the WTO. However, the Treaty of Amity is still in effect. How can this be?

According to Article 14 of the US Thai Treaty of Amity and Economic Relations:

3 The present Treaty shall remain in force for ten years and shall continue in force thereafter until terminated as provided herein.

4 Either Party may, by giving one year's written notice to the other Party, terminate the present Treaty at the end of the initial ten-year period or at any time thereafter.

Seems simple, the treaty doesn't end until one of the parties says its going to end and even then, those concerned shall have a year to comply with the new rules, whatever they may be.

This doesn't really answer the question as to where this fits in with the WTO. It seems that by signing the WTO Thailand did not abrogate any existing treaties, hence the need for the exemption period for Thailand to get its valid laws in compliance with the new system. Therefore, the laws on the books at that time and still in effect (such as the Treaty of Amity) are not affected by the WTO until the government of Thailand amends its laws accordingly. This is just one man's opinion, but it seems to be corroborated by the fact that I helped a client process an Amity Treaty protection request for his company less than one month ago. The request was granted by the Thai Foreign Business Office and the Treaty of Amity Certificate duly conferred upon his company.

The WTO has yet to bring up this issue with Thailand, at least publicly. I have heard that part of the reason for this silence is the fact that the WTO is waiting for a more stable government to be elected before they broach the subject, but this is mere conjecture.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE TREATY OF AMITY WHEN THE WTO CALLS FOR THAILAND TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE?

ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!!!! JUST KIDDING!

I think that when the WTO calls for Thai compliance with its treaty then Thailand will do one of three things: "grandfather" everyone in already registered under the Treaty of Amity, completely throw out the Treaty of Amity and tell everyone to get into compliance within a year, or sign a new free trade agreement with the US that calls for a combination of these two options. The idea that Thailand will just throw out the Treaty of Amity and tell everyone protected by it to just deal with it seems unlikely, although this is Thailand and anything can happen. According to the White House website: "The AER [Treaty of Amity] covers over 1,000 U.S. businesses in Thailand. Total U.S. investment in Thailand is about $20 billion." http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/10/20031020-27.html

It seems unlikely that Thailand will throw away that kind of money and goodwill capriciously.

Also according to the US State Department at www.state.gov/e/eeb/ifd/2006/62040.htm, "Both the U.S. and Thailand anticipate that the rights granted investors under the AER will be replicated in the bilateral FTA currently under negotiation."

Although the negotiations for the US-Thai FTA have been postponed, until who knows when, it seems unlikely that the Thai-US Treaty of Amity will be thrown out before a new agreement is adopted in its place. The current Thai-Australian Free Trade Agreement allows Australian Nationals the right to own up to 60% percent of certain companies. Although the list of companies in which this type of ownership is allowed is less extensive than under the US Thai Treaty of Amity, it still leave us with some idea of the worst case scenario for a possible US-Thai FTA.

WILL COMPANIES CURRENTLY PROTECTED BY THE TREATY OF AMITY BE "GRANDFATHERED" IN?

The Treaty of Amity itself says nothing about this scenario, only calling for the one year exemption period. It seems likely that Amity Treaty Companies will be "grandfathered" in. Previous foreign business acts have a "grandfather" clause allowing those engaging in what would become restricted businesses to continue to engage in such business. It seems logical that this kind of scheme would be used to phase out the Treaty if such an option was desired by the Thai government. Again, this is Thailand and nothing is a certainty, but looking at the past and the laws and politics at play it seems unlikely that the Treaty of Amity will be completely abrogated to the total detriment of those protected by it. The worst case scenario under the Treaty of Amity: You get to own your business outright for a year. Since the Treaty has yet to expire: if you had a company registered the day before the treaty was terminated, then you would still have a year to come into compliance.
