A Product Manager ...
A. Drives the Iteration
B. Drives the Releases and the Program Increments (PI)
Answer: B
Explanation:
Owning the �what� means that product management is primarily responsible for release definition as well, including new features, architecture, and allocations for technical debt. This is
accomplished through a series of Program Increments and releases, whose definition and business objectives are also determined by product management.
Question: 79
As a part of governance charecteristics, a Product Manager ...
A. Includes Re-factors and re-designs in backlog
B. Integrates with other teams
C. Collaborates on Enablers
Answer: C
Explanation:
While Product Management is not expected to drive technological decisions, they are expected to understand the scope of upcoming enabler work. They collaborate with System and
Solution Architect/Engineering to jointly sequence the Architectural Runway that will host new business functionality. This is typically done by establishing a capacity allocation, as
described in the Guardrails article.

Question: 86
Understanding, exploiting and managing variability, and frequent integrations are part of:
A. Flow
B. Value
C. Leadership
D. Relentless improvement
E. Innovation
F. Agile-scrum
Answer: A
Explanation:
The principles of flow are an essential part of the Lean-Agile mindset. These include understanding the full Development Value Stream, visualizing and limiting Work in Process (WIP),
and reducing batch sizes and managing queue lengths. Additionally, Lean focus on identifying and continuously removing delays and waste (non-value-added activities). One critical move
that organizations must address to achieve flow is the shift from a start-stop-start project management process to an agile product management approach aligned to long-lived development
value streams.

Question: 87
The release train engineer has gotten a job at Google. There are three leading candidates to replace her.
What is the best way to appoint her replacement?
A. The decision should be decentralised to the teams to decide
B. A decision should be made centrally
Answer: B
Explanation:
This is part of principle 9 C Decentralize decision-making. The decision is 'infrequent' (we hope) and 'long-lasting' (we hope) and therefore it fulfills two out of three criteria for a decision
to be made centrally? Can you remember the 3rd criteria?

‘Advanced Geodynamics brings the unique perspective of a leading geophysicist to the solution of a wide array of problems in geodynamics. The approach emphasizes the use of advanced mathematics, in particular the Fourier transform, to obtain a quantitative understanding of the processes involved in shaping the Earth’s surface. The advanced mathematical approach not only enhances the elegance of the solutions, but it enables the consideration of many problems not accessible with less sophisticated mathematical methods. The choice of problems benefits from the deep physical insights of the author to their solutions. The book discusses the physical processes involved in plate tectonics and the earthquake cycle and provides the latest relevant observational data sets. An emphasis is also placed on the use of gravity data to learn about these processes. The book is the product of decades of teaching by the author and is a must read for students of the physics of the Earth with the appropriate mathematical background.’
Gerald Schubert - University of California, Los Angeles; co-author of Geodynamics
‘Most authors would find writing a sequel to Turcotte and Schubert’s classic book on Geodynamics a daunting task. Not so for David Sandwell, whose first book is a wonderful mix of observations and theory, elegant mathematics and a focus on the oceans and the Fourier method which together help illuminate some of the fundamental physical processes that underlie plate tectonics.’
Tony Watts - University of Oxford; author of Isostasy and Flexure of the Lithosphere
‘Advanced Geodynamics: The Fourier Transform Method by David Sandwell is a godsend for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers actively engaged in the broad area of geodynamics. It complements the classic Geodynamics book by Turcotte & Schubert in a way nothing else could: by elevating the treatment to real, cutting-edge research problems via Fourier transforms that deliver simple and elegant solutions to complicated science problems.’
Paul Wessel - University of Hawaii

Near the start of “The Guest,” Alex, a sex worker, is booted out of a mansion by Simon, her affluent boyfriend. They appear to be on the ritzy east end of Long Island, though the location is never named. Alex must make a choice: she can return to the city, where she has no friends, no apartment, and a vaguely menacing man on her heels, or she can wait out Simon’s anger, hoping he’ll take her back at his annual Labor Day party, in six days’ time. She chooses the latter. Her only tools are a bag of designer clothes, a mind fogged by painkillers, and a dying phone. But what follows is riveting, a class satire shimmed into the guise of a thriller. Because Alex is young, pretty, well-dressed, and white, the privileged people she meets believe that she’s one of them. They let her into their parties, their country club, their cars, their homes. Alex, like Cline, is a consummate collector of details, and part of the book’s pleasure is its depiction of the one percent—their meaningless banter, their blandly interchangeable clothes. But Alex is too passive a character for revenge. The book isn’t a caustic takedown of the rich so much as a queasy reminder of their invulnerability.

Multidisciplinary Perspectives on COVID-19
A multidisciplinary in-house publication based on the symposium held at Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies on 16/6/2020.
This pamphlet gathers together short essays by Helsinki Collegium fellows, who draw on their research expertise to analyze different aspects of the COVID-19 crisis. It sheds a light on the power of conjoining multidisciplinary perspectives: history, literature, psychology, anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, political science, poetry, filmmaking and more, disciplines which sit side by side at the Collegium.
FALLING ROCKET: James Whistler, John Ruskin, and the Battle for Modern Art, by Paul Thomas Murphy
“I have seen, and heard, much of Cockney impudence before now; but never expected to hear a coxcomb ask 200 guineas for flinging a pot of paint in the public’s face.” These words by John Ruskin, Victorian England’s pre-eminent critic, were written in 1877 about “Nocturne in Black and Gold — The Falling Rocket,” a painting by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the most flamboyant artist of that era.
And they resulted in the most notorious trial in the history of art when Whistler decided to take the shocking step of suing the writer for his review — as much for the publicity as for the thousand guineas in damages.
Both artist and critic were already very famous; Whistler, the American-born dandy, aesthete and provocateur, made a compelling contrast to Ruskin, who for decades had served as moralistic defender of a spiritual gravitas rooted in the Middle Ages. The painting that so inspired Ruskin’s ire supposedly conjured a fireworks display, though — as the darkest and moodiest of Whistler’s “nocturnes” — it was as close to pure abstraction as art had yet ventured.
Whistler had first exhibited the shocking oil at London’s Grosvenor Gallery ; Ruskin’s scathing review initially appeared in the July, 1877 edition of his newsletter, Fors Clavigera. The art world was agog.
Whistler saw this as a chance to gain some much-needed funds and to publicly state his views on art in opposition to the most celebrated cultural theorist of the time. But Ruskin himself never took the dock, incapacitated as he was by a series of breakdowns, and he instead had Edward Burne-Jones, the Pre-Raphaelite painter, testify on his behalf. The November 1878 trial lasted only two days, but it was an immediate cause célèbre in the international press.
