A view from DC: The FTC says 'Let It Go,' don't hold that data anymore
Fifty years ago, the original Fair Information Practice Principles were enshrined as one of the first major markers along the road that would become the data privacy profession.Among those FIPPs were seeds of ideas that would grow into the foundational privacy principles we still return to today.Ideas like individual autonomy, purpose specification and data minimization are rooted in these originally formulated "safeguards against the potential adverse effects of automated personal-data systems."

Creating effective personas
Currently, audience description artifacts are often used to increase empathy and provide information about users.However, they can be much more than passive dust-collectors if we begin to use them as a proactive decision-making tool.By empowering user personas or JTBD with new perspectives and actively using them to guide our decisions, we can leverage their potential to help us make more informed choices and better serve our target audience.

Is Agile an anti-design pattern?
You might not guess it from the title of this article, but I love Agile.I work in UX, I lead web projects, and I never want to go back to the time before Agile.Why the headline, then?Because, in addition to being wonderful for software and web development, Agile as commonly practiced leaves design and discovery out in the cold.

Can multivitamins improve memory? A new study shows 'intriguing' results
They tracked about 3,500 older adults who were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial.
One group of participants took a placebo, and another group took a Silver Centrum multivitamin, for 3 years.
...
At the end of the first year, people taking a multivitamin showed improvements in the ability to recall words.
...
People taking the multivitamin were able to recall about a quarter more words, which translates into remembering just a few more words, compared to the placebo group.
"We estimate that the effect of the multivitamin intervention improved memory performance above placebo by the equivalent of 3.1 years of age-related memory change," the authors write in their paper, which was published this week in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
And the authors point to a sustained benefit.

The sporting director is one of the most pivotal roles in football.The person that takes over this post manages the budget, deals with the transfers, has a long-term vision of the team's development, organises everyday life, and even has a say in hiring and sacking coaches.The power of such a man is enormous and although he's subject to the assessment of the higher-up, he can do more and gets a big vote of confidence, much bigger than a coach who's here today and might not be here tomorrow.

Sunak WhatsApp mistake' has given Boris an opportunity, warns ex-No 10 chief
Rishi Sunak has made a big mistake by blocking the release of Boris Johnson's WhatsApps, giving the former prime minister a chance to enjoy a divisive row, a senior Tory peer has warned.Gavin Barwell, former No 10 chief of staff, said Mr Sunak was wrong to take legal action against the Covid inquiry because it had invited suspicion about the government's true motives for protecting the messages.
