Hello, beautiful souls. Welcome to this annual reading for 2023. My name is Ona and I am so excited for this coming here. In this reading, we're going to go through the four quarters of the year. I'm going to be using a four directions spread that will take us through the four seasons. We'll be pulling a card for each month, but I just wanted to overview a little bit the spread I'll be using so that you can really use it. This is a spread that's meant to be used throughout the year, so you can keep coming back to this video over and over for more insights. And so here is just the explanation of the spread I'll be using. We have in the east here, now I'm playing with the elements a little bit in the past I've always used more of the European pagan tradition of where the which elements go with which direction. I'm playing with earth in the east and this is something that I just found through a group called the unicorn tradition. I'm not affiliated with them, but I loved how they I love their explanation of putting earth in the east because it's it's like the earth is where things spring out of right. And so I'm playing with that in this annual reading. Fire in the south, water in the west and air in the north. So we can see how the cards are going to go on this side here from February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December, and January. So we've got these four quarters and the reason I started in February is like I could never figure out how to get the actual calendar year into a spread in a four direction spread for an annual reading in a way that made sense. And of course, it doesn't make sense, because it's really, you know, not, it's meant to kind of take us off. So I'm wanting to pull us back into the actual, the actual seasons, right? Okay. So and also you can use this in terms of thinking of the east as your physical body. And so there's a lot of ways to use this reading.  So these quarters of the year, each, each reading is going to have three cards for each quarter, but you can also see it for the four bodies. And so like I said, you can come back to this and use this reading a lot of ways. Okay. So I'm going to, without a lot of sophisticated equipment, I'm going to try to get this down so that we can actually see where the spread is going to go. And let me just introduce the decks I'll be using. I'm going to be using three animal decks. This is my spirit animal awareness cards. Will be one. The animal messages deck is another and then Colette Baron reads spirit animal oracle deck. Oops, is the third. And so we're going to start then with February, which is also corresponds to the astrological sign of Aquarius. So this is the card I'm wanting to pull up for that one. Hold on. Let's see what wants to come forward. Here we go. Oh, deer. All right. So deer for February, we're going to put that right down here. And deer is this beautiful sensitive animal. The thing that's popping out at me here is just being easy on yourself in this month of February. And this also goes if you're born in February or are an Aquarius have an Aquarius strongly in your chart. Kind of this might be an overarching theme for you this year to be really, really sensitive and aware, and especially to your own needs. So let's put that down here in the February spot. And next card is going to be coming up from March. And that is also going to be the equinox, the spring in the March equinox time of year. So let's see. This is the card that wants to come forward, elephant. And elephants been coming forward for me a lot lately. And I think it feels like a lot of it is ancestral energy that's coming forward from elephant, because they are this animal that so is so aware of the ancestors, you know, their own ancestors, and these are about elephant graveyards and so forth. And they're also this very maternal culture, you know, animal culture that they have. And so I'm feeling like March, good month to be aware of the ancestors connect with your ancestors. And also just be aware of where you stand in the ancestral line, right, because that we all connect through the bloodlines to both the past and the future.  You know, this is a good month to consider that, especially as we start tipping into the more active half of the year. So I'm going to put elephant down here. And let's take a look at April. I love this deck. It's just called that bear needs deck, but it's a little hard to shuffle for me. So hi, Kuldeep. He says I had elephant come in my meditation a few days ago. That is awesome. That is awesome. And it's such a beautiful power animal and can be so gentle, although it has its other side too. So this is nightingale spirit coming forward for April. And I love the, the little tagline there love is all around. And the number 41. Okay, so the numbers are also significant. This is the only deck I'm using with numbers. Oh, Kuldeep says that elephant was very loving. That's wonderful. And I think there, there is such love and elephant. And we're getting this message of love too for, for nightingale. That, you know, love is all around in the northern hemisphere. We've got this, this time of year where everything is springing to life. The animals are doing their courtship. So if there's any romance coming forward for you, this might be a month where it really starts to, you know, shake, shake out some, some romantic vibes and whether that be actual kind of love and romance with a partner or just self love. Beautiful, beautiful month for that. So what I'm getting for this whole first quarter, this spring quarter for, for 2023 is a lot of this idea of self awareness and self love, self nurturing, very, very nurturing. So what I'm getting is that just something to be aware of. These are, this isn't really intended to be a predictive reading. What I'm intending is for to show the energies that are there to support us and maybe offer some, some encouragement. So I'm getting for this whole first spring of 2023 self love, self nurturing, self care, and of course, extending that out to others as well. Okay, so let us move on then to the second quarter, which is starting in June. And this will represent the summer. So, oh, I'm sorry, May. And the reason I'm calling it summer, even though it's starting in May, is that we're using the month that contains either the solstice or the equinox as the midpoint of this quarter. Okay, so this is actually the summer quarter with the summer solstice midsummer being the middle month here. Okay, so all coming forward for May. And this is also the season of belting. So again, this is a time of year at least in the northern hemisphere where things are really springing to life and that that life force is out there. But I will tell us to go into our intuition to use your intuition. And I'm almost feeling like this and don't be like don't feel like this is negative, but this is almost a warning card that's coming up that, you know, not everything is as it seems. So, you know, if it is a love affair, just kind of be aware of, of, you know, any undercurrents that may show up, or if it's, you know, whatever is coming forward for you in this life, in, in this May or early summertime, think about just really close your eyes to it. Think of Luke in Star Wars and having to go blind and use to use his intuition, feel for the force at this time. Owl teaches us to listen for the guidance, right? It flies at night and has this ability to see see in the dark, but Owl actually uses her ears a lot for finding her way in the dark. And so listening really deeply for the inner, the deep inner inner wisdom. It's just something to keep in mind in May or in the early summer period of time for 2023. And moving on into June. It's a card for June. And by the way, if you would like your own personal annual reading, I do offer those. And for that one's coming up real quick, for anybody who signs up before the new year, I will throw in a reading for January as well. Okay. And this is Wolf coming up and actually coming up in reverse. So Wolf also is saying, listen to your inner wisdom, enjoy the gift of freedom. Coming in reverse and feeling like either double down on that on the inner wisdom, or feel your way into where are you feeling those attachments, right? And not the healthy attachments, but feel, use your intuition to feel what might be holding you back. Where might you be giving away your energy, right? Or giving away your power. There's a lot of ways that can happen. It can happen through relationships. But also, I'm also getting kind of career and purpose, right? This I'm feeling 2023 is an incredible year. I feel it's going to be an incredible year for star seeds, especially to start really getting traction on our purpose, you know, feeling and for different people that's going to be like wherever you are on your journey. For some people, it may be just an awakening that happens in 2023, and starting to be aware of the spiritual world. For others, it might be the clarity of vision on like, what am I really here for? And then others, for others, it may be a time of actually just releasing anything that's holding you away from your purpose and allowing yourself to actually take that leap and step into it. Okay. And so Wolf is saying, you know, just good time around the solstice, the summer solstice, the dune solstice to really take a look at, you know, what is still holding on to you? What are you holding on to that needs to be released? Okay. And summer solstice, I feel like it sort of relates to the full moon, right? Which we all know is a time of release. And so that can also be a time where we can almost like kind of relinquish anything that's not serving you into the fire of the sun and allow yourself to really start to shine. Right. So let's move forward into July. This card is Otter Spirit. This is number 42. So we'll see how these numbers show up. But we had 41 and then 42 showing up. And these cards are well shuffled. So Otter Spirit, you are never alone. Remember this. And speaking of purpose and speaking of not being alone, I'm going to be making an announcement in just probably within a week or two. I'm looking at some community building this year. I will be having an online community. So just watch for that. But Otter also in this beautiful heart shape, this whole theme of love continuing on into the summer season. And I love Otters because they are so, so playful. And if you've ever seen gone, I was at the Minnesota Zoo once and, you know, was so fascinated by the Otters. They were just sleeping so happily in this pile. And they just looked so cozy and so loving together. So I love that this Otter is definitely all wrapped up in love here. You're never alone. Alrighty. So that is also this, this whole quarter here. It's not even showing. Let's pull this up this way. Okay, this whole summer quarter here is going to also relate to your spiritual body or spiritual health here in in 2023. So I'm feeling like community is one thing. Wolf really, especially as the center card here, Wolf really is a very strong card for community, right? For coming together, right? And because we are stronger together, we're very strong together, right? So the star seeds need to start coming together. If you don't have a group of people that you can really relate to on that spiritual level, you know, look for that because those, you know, I feel like star seeds are going to start coming together big time here in 2023. Alrighty. So for the third quarter, and that is going to be August, September and October. And it will be also working with the emotional body. First card coming up for August is rabbits. And rabbits is a, there's so much about rabbit, but rabbit is this incredible animal for abundance. And Kildivya pack animal, absolutely for wolf, otter as well, right? And then rabbit is also a very, very social animal. We usually see them hopping around, you know, in onesies twosies. So, but the European rabbit does live in big communities, right? And I love rabbit because they're, they're so, they're just so sweet. They're very, I mean, they can get very territorial, they do fight. But they're, I feel like it's a really generous animal, right? It's one of these animals that, that actually, you know, in nature, it's their purpose to feed the other animals, right? And so with rabbit, we have an incredible amount of abundance creative. This might be a really good month for creative projects, moving forward, or even, you know, getting ideas for creative projects. But it's also important to, again, be aware of, like where your boundaries are. Because there's a lot of, you know, that, that it's easy to bleed away your energy. And that can be not just with, you know, other people, but also I'm thinking like the media or always being online, that can be real energy drain, right? And so rabbit is this very sensitive, sensitive creature, and it needs its space in order to bring forth the abundance, right? And mother rabbits can get a little nervous, right? And so they need the quiet, they need space, they need, they need some understanding, right? So you can give that to yourself or, you know, just maybe a good month to go within a little bit and to see what comes out of that. All right, so that would be August. And again, this is emotional body stuff here, right? So, again, treating yourself with lots and lots of love, lots of sensitivity, being very sensitive and aware of, you know, the emotional state of things, other people's emotions and being aware of what is it that, you know, that are you taking on other people's emotions? And, you know, rather than really focusing on your own, right? And being strong in your own emotional body. Hi, Marvita. Oh, I just realized I can actually put these up there. Hi, Marvita. Good morning. Let's see, we've got lots of little things here. I'm going to put, I like that comment right there. See the comments. Alrighty, so let's look at the Equinox month, September 2023. Panda, what a beautiful animal here. This is one that I haven't seen come up in a long, long time. Hi, Samit. Good to see you too. And Panda, I love this coming at the Equinox because it's like, you know, this black and white, this balance, this yin and yang happening here with this animal. And it's also got a lot of the feeling of bear, right, that kind of grounded feeling, the feeling of, oh, just nothing phases, you know, a panda or a bear, right? They're, they're just kind of roll with the punches. And because they're so big, they're strong.  And they, you know, here he is with the bamboo, right? And so again, this, this whole theme of gentleness coming forward in this whole year for star seeds. And one thing that we can really learn from Panda is just to kind of breathe and relax, right?  And for that, we need to breathe, we need to come to center, we need to really ground ourselves, right? And that way we can keep that beautiful yin and yang balance going. Okay, so moving on to October between, that one's hard popped up right away. Mouse spirit tend to the small things. Okay. And again, this, I swear that I have shuffled this deck a million times, a million times. And I'm not pulling in sequence here, but this is, we have numbers 40, now 40, 41 and 42. So we'll see what the next one is. But let's see, have your, let's see what's here, I have your cards, there's no one's owner. Oh yeah, Marvita, I'm using three decks here. So like these cards, these skinnier ones, the rabbit, those are my cards. And the middle card is the animal messages deck from Susie Green. And then this one that I'm holding is a lovely deck by Colette Barrett Mead, it's a spirit animal deck from her. And these are lovely cards. So mouse spirit here, tend to the small things, absolutely. It feels like sometimes, you know, when a lot is happening, it's really easy to get really scattered and distracted, right? And sometimes we need to take time to just take care of all those little loose ends. You know, mouse is this wonderful, wonderful little gatherer, right? And so, especially in the emotional body here, you know, just gathering together, you know, taking care of all the little things, it can really help to relieve anxiety. Like, I just went through a whole phase of this, in the last couple months, like taking care of all my book work, you know, I'm working on cleaning up the house, all that stuff. If there's a lot going on either in your life or in the outside world, it can really, really help to make sure that all the little details are taken care of. And sometimes we need to just set aside time for that. So I'm going to put that here. Again, like this is all emotional self care here on this western side and the in the autumn. So then we can move on to the last quarter of the year. And again, we're starting this year in February to be a little bit more in alignment with the season. So this last quarter will be November, December, and then the following January 2024. And I just feel for the cards and then shuffling there. Okay, Beaver. That would explain why Mao is saying to get your affairs in order. Beaver is really about getting down to business. And so this is the card for November industry financial responsibility. It has a lot to do with also devotion. And because Beaver is not just industrious for the sake of doing stuff. It really is, it does everything it does for the sake of the family, right? So, you know, family issues coming up perhaps in November, of course, we're heading into the holidays at that time of year. But remembering why we do things. You know, if you're, if you're doing work for your business, remembering, you know, business gurus always talk about the big why, right? You know, remembering why. What's, what's your purpose? And it may be, you know, to support your family. But there's always, I think for Star Sea, it's going to be a bigger why too, right? You know, what's, what's your, what's your legacy for the earth? What's your legacy for humanity itself, right? Keeping that in mind as we do our little tasks, right? Because Beaver is also about the very physical tasks. You know, that, that will also help keep your mind focused. Because remember, we're working with the mental energy here in the wintertime. Mental health. So, and sometimes we've done a lot of self care throughout the year. And a lot of going within, which looks like it could be a potential for a lot of Star Seeds. It is helped it will all kind of moves into action and taking action into that physical world, right? So we, we have these phases. All right, so for December, see what card wants to, this one feels like it wants to come forward. Oh, okay. I love this card. It's Bebun. I think this came forward last year in the annual reading as well. And I always find it a really just a funny card, but he says in love and declarations of passion, heartfelt communication is the key. I think that fits really, really well with the Beaver card, because Beaver is about industry, right? And so it feels like this coming like next winter could be a really great time for getting your business going or getting, you know, whatever it is that you want to get going in your life, you know, moving that forward. But Bebun reminds us here to do this with, you know, in the spirit of love, because sometimes when we get down to business, it can, it can get a little bit grating, right? It can be a little bit, a little bit intense sometimes. So we want to make sure that we, he keeps the channels of communication going, keep the love going, rainbow bottom, absolutely. So, you know, keeping the rainbow in mind for everything, even, even those kind of things that we don't want to always show the world. Right. And then we have the last card is actually going to be moving into 2024. So just doing that segue, spider spirit, make your dreams real. I think that is an awesome close out here to this year of 2023, because that is actually the core of what I'm feeling for 2023. This is the year where it's, it's, it's really, we're cutting to the chase, you know, keeping in mind that we are building a new beautiful golden age. This is the very, very beginning of it. And even as, as the old age crumbles, we've got this new age coming up. We are star seeds. We are seeding that in. And we are creator beings. We are creating this new energy here. And, and so spiders like, okay, make it real. That's what we're here for. How's your 2022 so far? Yeah, I mean, it's, it's, it's all kind of coming together here. Right. Thank you for lighting fires. Yeah. I mean, that's what we're here for. We're here to light each other's fires, right? Like we all have our own inner fire. We are souls of fire, right? And coming to earth here to spread these beautiful fires of healing. And, and, you know, I think there's a lot in this whole spread about going within and having that inner awareness. And, but ultimately, it's about bringing it out into the world, right? And so for you as individuals, some of us, we're all at different places on the journey. Like for me, I'm more feeling like this right now is, you know, it's time to, for me to go out and take it into the world. But you know, there's, there's still a lot of that self awareness and stuff that still needs to happen throughout. All right. So then I'm going to pull an angel card here for each of these seasons, just to kind of seal it in and then one for the year as a whole. Okay. So for the spring season and the physical body, think of these as, think of these as blessing cards, blessing our physical bodies, blessing the whole spring season. This is the card of fulfillment. And as you look at this, like we're in a washing machine, yeah, I agree. This is a great card for that too, because it's, it's full of water. And remembering that whatever is coming forward, right? This, this, this year, this whole year, yeah, it can feel like a washing machine sometimes. It can feel like we're, you know, tossed this way and the other way and all that stuff, right? So look how she's looking into the future. Look how she's got that vision. You know, that's where it starts as a vision. And so whether you're healing the emotional body, the physical body, having, tuning into that feeling of fulfillment, that feeling of appealing, we can tune into that no matter where we are and, and cultivate the vision, cultivate the vision of what a healed existence feels like. And when we hold that feeling throughout, that's when it really supports everything into coming into being. And yes, it is a beautiful card. So fulfillment for that spring and the physical body. I love it. So let's see another card here. Shuffle these angel cards. Again, blessing card for summer season. How far you have come. Yeah. Honor, how far you have come. That's so important, right? So, so important because like, there's always that little critical part of her mind, right? That's like, oh, it's, we're not, it's not enough. It's not enough. I'm not there yet. I'm not there yet. And sometimes it's really, really beautiful to take a look back, right? Take a look back, you know, two years ago, one year ago, 10 years ago, and, and you'll see the transformation. And then you can project that transformation into the future. Absolutely. So the path is endless. Absolutely. The path is absolutely endless. So it's important to remember that because it's, you know, it's good to look into the future and have aspirations. We need to do that because that's part of this whole journey, right? Important part of it, but also looking behind. I think that also tunes into this elephant card of ancestors, right? And sometimes honoring how far you have come. It also connects with the ancestors and allowing them to support you. Yes, life is absolutely miraculous. Blue butterfly, similar from the spinner. Absolutely. Okay. So next card for the autumn quarter, divine light work. All right, divine light work. I think that that kind of says it all, doesn't it? And also remember, I was just getting this feeling for that whole fall that is so, so important for us as star seas to hold the light to hold that vibration. So it's no wonder that this card is coming forward because, you know, we are, and also I'm getting just like, we're there for each other, right? So as we do the divine light work for ourselves, if you, if you work with other people for other people, also, you know, remember that that is also working for the whole collective of humanity. Every time, every time there's a healing, it heals the all, right? It heals all of us and helps to bring healing into the world. So again, we're here for, and then we've got one more quarter for the mental body and the winter season. We all do share the same light, absolutely. Okay. The flow of abundance. And again, I'm feeling this really is going hand in hand with these cards that came up, Beaver, the Boon, Spider, they're talking about actual real heavy duty manifesting and really bringing stuff out into the world. But remember, this is not only that winter season of this coming year, but it's also the mind, right? So remember that creation begins in the mind, right? So that mental body is happening throughout this entire year of 2023, the more we really focus on healing, focus on the light and focus on, you know, what our gifts are, right? Remembering, yeah, feel it absolutely. And that's going to bring in this flow of abundance, right? We are the vehicles for that. We put that right there. And then one more card for the whole of 2023. Let's pick a good one here. An angel blessing card 2023. And these, by the way, I'm going to break it out on whose cards these are, but I'll add it to the Oh, I love it. Okay. Oh, how sweet of you. A lot of wealth in 2023. Well, it's really, really more about a collective wealth, right? Bringing wealth into the world. But thank you. Forgive. Forgive. I think this is a card that like, I wouldn't have thought of it. But oh my gosh, they are so right, right? There's such the message because that's really comes to the core of it, right? Of all, all healing, right?  And it doesn't mean forgiving does not mean to just let things happen. It doesn't at all, right? And I think to truly forgive, we need to take our power back. But it's part of taking the power back is, is releasing those grudges and attachments and feelings of, of being a victim, all that stuff, right? So it's kind of keep that in mind for the whole of 2023. And there we are. There we go. So thank you all so much for joining me. Again, if you would like your own personal annual reading, I have a link to that below. I'll put a link to my cards there. If anybody's interested in those also forgive ourselves. That's huge. Absolutely. Forgive ourselves. That's where I start. Really? Right? It's hard to forgive anything if you can't forgive yourself. Releasing heaviness, absolutely. So thank you all. Thank you. Thank you all for being here. I'm really looking forward to 2023. I think it's going to be an amazing year, especially for star seeds. You know, it's a year that we can come together, that we can really hold that beautiful high vibration. The world needs it so much. It needs you so much. So many, many, many blessings for the coming year. God bless you as well. And remember, you were born to be free.


A few days ago, I reviewed Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. I wasn't a big fan, to say the least.  So if you haven't watched that movie yet, you don't want spoilers. Walk away from this, because I'm going to be going into a lot of stuff that is gonna maybe salt the movie for you. But if you don't care, because you were already salty on the franchise like 12, 15, 20 years ago, then feel free to join me. Here's my spoiler thoughts on Ghostbusters Frozen Franchise. I mean Frozen Empire. Now, I feel like I always have to preface these by saying, listen, I don't pretend to be an expert at really anything in this world. I just like watching a lot of movies. So when I do spoiler reviews or reviews in general, I'm talking to you like I would talk to a friend after seeing the film. I'm not talking down. I'm not acting better. Because at the end of the day, this is all entertainment. It's all subjective. The art side of it, as I think got out the window long ago. When it comes to art and film, I think it's very far and few between. Most of this stuff is a product now. And that's just how this film felt to me.  Someone always inevitably also says, Adam, these are all made for money. And that's why people put it. Yeah, that's true. But it was always kind of a hand in hand thing.  And yeah, sometimes the art is John Wick killing guys. But there is still an art form there. When it comes to the choreography, setting up the shots and all that stuff. And you can say that in a sense, Frozen Empire has a little bit of that too. But I just was so jaded on the whole property. Mainly because I thought Ghostbusters Afterlife was not great. I hate that it pandered to the audience so much and it really tugged at the heartstrings in the most disingenuous way. People weren't sad and crying because Egon came back. They were sad and crying because the actor died in real life. Harold Ramis. Regardless, a lot of people like that movie. And that's perfectly great. I actually went with my family to it years ago when it came out and they had a good time. I was the only one really sitting there kind of rolling my eyes. The Staypuff Marshmallow babies were there to be merchandise. And the whole thing reeked of cash grab to me. The whole thing reeked of nostalgia bait. And here we are now with Frozen Empire, a movie that I thought was going to get past that. The trailers looked very promising. I love that they introduced this new villain. They got their own lore now. And they really have to stand out on their own. But as we've seen from countless films now they do the soft reboot where they bring back the legacy characters and they kind of redo the first movie in a sense. When you have to stand on your own, it's a lot harder proposition. It's a lot harder for them to stick the landing. And that's exactly I think what happened with Jurassic World, Fallen Kingdom, and Star Wars the Last Jedi and a bunch of other films that came out doing the soft reboot thing.  It brought back Gozer.  And now we have a new thing. Well, it started out, I thought pretty damn good. Before I dive in though, hit that subscribe button. I talk about movies every week on the channel. It's all movies all the time. I don't bring in religion, politics, all that stuff. I don't have a slant one way or the other. I don't care about that. I just wanted to watch good movies and talk with you. And I watch a lot of movies. Okay, here we are. Frozen Empire, as I was stating, starts out on a really great note. Driving that Ecto-1 downtown New York. We're back in the hometown of the Ghost Busters. There's a giant ghost on the run. Take flight. So they're in the car in pursuit. And by they, I mean the family now. We got the Spanglers, the mother, the two kids, and the boyfriend who's trying to find his place in the family. What is his role? What can he say? Can he punish them, et cetera? The main focus of this one again is on Phoebe Spangler, played by McKenna Grace. She's lovely. I love her. She's got this whole Rick Moranis vibe going on with the look. However, in this movie, she's kind of a sad sack. The script makes her out to be this miserable 15-year-old girl who doesn't know her place within the family. And she wants to bust ghosts. And they're going to take that from her later. And that's where I think the movie really starts to fall into its face. But the pro is this opening scene, this five-minute, 10-minute chase sequence. Downtown, sewers are flying up. Manhole covers are smashing into cars. It's whipping out of traffic. At one point, they go by the cops who are sponsoring Dunkin' Donuts. And the one cop's like, should we go after them? And the other goes, let's let the Ghostbusters handle this one. That was great. I appreciate that the Ghostbusters have now kind of become a household name within the city. And the cops even know about them. And they let them do their thing. They stay out of their way. Very well. Very good way to reintroduce these characters. And so when this scene fires up, I thought, holy crap, they're doing it. It's fun. It's lively. They're actually going after ghosts in this one until I realize later, this would be the only ghost they ever bust in the entire film until the way you end.  It's 2024. We have the technology. Come on, people. Anyway, they're driving. She goes out in the gunner's seat. It's very cool. And that sequence, it ends impressively. And then the title comes on though, which was a little weird. The Ghostbuster title felt very unceremonious. I know it's kind of trying to match the past ones, but it didn't have that kick in that. It just kind of shows up. And from this point on, I'm not going to be going chronologically. I'm just going to try to come up the top of my head what I recall about the film. One major thing is Finn Wolfhard's character, Trevor.  He's 18. He's awkward. He's trying to find himself. And that's his entire arc that never really gets finished. He seriously is barely in this movie. He shows up kind of randomly throughout. They give him a subplot with Slimer that goes nowhere. It's incredibly lame to watch. And again, just tipping the hat to the fans. We got Slimer in this one. That stuff was just all so nothing. It was so stale. And that's kind of how I felt after that main intro sequence was just nothing across the board. Just, all right, it's Ghostbusters. We have the old dogs back again for one last ride again until the next one. And they're probably going to be Harrison Ford. Ray Stance is going to be there when he's freaking 85, putting on the proton pack. Bill Murray just put him cash in his pocket. And he's like, all right, what do I have to say? Two lines and then I can leave? Great.  But all right, here we go. Bill Murray notoriously doesn't like Ghostbusters 2.  Until Herod Ramis flapped. And he's like, sure, I'll come back and get some cash grabs out of this. Because without Harold, I know for 100% certainty that there's nothing more life in these films. And so I'll just cash out. And fair enough, Bill, fair enough. Okay, Finn Wolfhardt's character terrible. With the power of editing, I could actually start with what I'm going to say next and move things around chronologically speaking. But I'm not going to. I'm just going to be real with you. I completely forgot about the actual intro, which was set back decades earlier with a fire department checking out a disturbance. And they touch a handle. It's frozen. They go inside and they're instantaneously taken out. Elsa style, the power of ice freezes them in place. This was a great introduction, which I forgot about. So we have a couple sequences in a row that really set the stage for what's to come. We get a teaser of our villain.  I forgot the word, the fire something or another. This is the person that's going to be responsible for taking out this new threat. I had to look it up, but the name is Garaka. Garaka is the new villain of this picture. He's basically an ice god. He wants to bring upon the end of humanity by freezing everything, hence the title Frozen Empire. You'll find out though that this frozen empire doesn't really ever take shape. And it's really not until the last 10 minutes where things start to freeze over, but we'll get there. We have to spend a lot of time with the ghost girl first. But before we get to her, we have to introduce Kumal Nujani's character Nadim. He's new to this franchise. He starts out really funny.  He has the power to pyro things like X-Men. He can move fire and throw fireballs and Hadookins. And it just gets really cringy, I thought. I thought it just felt really out of place. Even for a Ghostbusters movie, it seemed like a bit too much for me. And maybe it has to do with the tone of these films. I felt like this one in afterlife are so serious in a lot of ways. But then in the other sense, they want to be funny and silly. Like in afterlife, I think about the Keymaster and the Gatekeeper sequence where they're doing their mating ritual and how wildly out of place that felt with the tone of the rest of the movie. That was very somber. I almost had an indie vibe to it. Like I'm watching a film by Zach Braff for some of it. But this one is a little lighter. It is more fun. It's more corny, campy, but it still has that serious side. But not the serious side of the OGs. The OGs felt like dark comedies in a lot of ways. They felt very intense. They were actually scary. And these don't have scares in them. These ones feel like Disney presents Ghostbusters. Nadim shows up at Ray Stance's shop with an artifact. Dan Aykroyd is back reprising his role. Love Dan Aykroyd in these films. I said this in my review though. These are not the guys we grew up with. All right, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd. They're old now. They're in their 70s or 80s or something. I'm not even sure they're age, but they're not the same guys. We're not watching the Ghostbusters from the late 80s bouncing witty dialogue off each other, riffing, having a great time. No, these are guys in their Twilight years. Okay, so they feel like stand-ins for characters. They're like the NPCs you find in Fortnite. You show up to them. He's like, hello, I'm Ray Stance. What do you want to do today? What are you selling? And it's not the fault of the actor. It's just the writing is not servicing them at all. And it's not the same feel of the originals. So seeing him is great. You know, it's great that he's there, but kind of like Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones. It's just not playing out the same as it used to. And that's okay. Time wears on all of us. I'm not the same guy I was even 10 years ago. Things change. People grow. They look different. They sound different. They have different cadences. It's just going to be different. Moving past that, he gets this artifact. He buys it from Nadim. And he's very fascinated by the thing. He knows a little bit about the inscription, but he has to take it to the library where Patton Oswald is going to work.  We're going to get a huge, rich backstory on this character, on this God, and how he was captured by a firekeeper thing. And it's a very long monologue, a lot of exposition there. People will appreciate it from the building of the lower standpoint. I found it was a bit much and really unnecessary, considering what a threat this character isn't at the end of the day and how little screen time he has. While that's happening, Dickless Mayor Walter Peck is back. I mean, he's the mayor now. He's moved up in the world. It was, I guess, fine to see him again. But once more, not the same character. They're trying, but it's not the same character. They're not coming off that same way. He's pissed. He hates the Ghostbusters still, 30 years later or whatever it's been, and he's going to clip their wings a little bit. They have a minor working with them. Phoebe is no longer able to suit up, and they're going to abide by that. That's as far as they take this. I'm going to say something else. Ghostbusters, the premise really worked in the 80s. These shlubby guys trying to get rich off this idea of busting ghosts. They don't really care about busting ghosts. They're just trying to make money. Race Dance and Egon certainly have their heart in the right place. Winston's just trying to get a paycheck and Venkman has absolutely zero interest in the actual ghost busting process. He just wants to make a name for himself and get wealthy. It works in the 80s for a lot of reasons. One, the technology was at the right place. Two, the gritty look of the film really helped enhance what was going on. It gives it this realistic look. Three, the fact that special effects are dated in the movie and they just didn't have the ability to make things larger than life actually helps it. It grounds things a little bit. It feels believable. Now, in modern era, where everybody has smartphones, drones, there's Elon Musk's and all these billionaires, you're going to tell me that there's still this ragtag group of people going around busting ghosts.  There's nobody else doing this. We don't have a smartphone app tracker to tell them where ghosts are. It's just kind of preposterous and it's hard to wrap my head around it. Especially now that Winston Zedmore is back in the mix and he is a multi-millionaire who is building up the ghost busters again. He's got this whole research facility. They're testing different things out.  There's so much nostalgia thrown in. I saw someone using the ooze gun from the second movie. Kind of funny. He was in the background, a little tip of the hat. But it just doesn't make any sense. Like this guy's a multi-millionaire and he's renting out this crappy fish building or whatever it is. He's got the kid from the first film as one of the trainees there. I don't even remember the name Lucky, I think. Lucky's there. This character is so generic. Her only defining characteristic now is the cool white dreads she has. That's her character. Lucky in her cool hair. Does nothing in this film, by the way. She just stands around most of the time. She fires the proton pack once and it freezes. Very cool special effect. By the way, I loved that. But this character is just completely generic. The same ghost for the new scientist they introduce. Don't remember his name. Some white guy with glasses. That's his defining characteristic. He has glasses. The entire point of this facility is to introduce some new tech and a new type of ghost which I really liked. The one that can kind of zip around and go into any object and make it a haunted device, a source for it to move around in. I forgot the name of this type of ghost. But it's cool. It's a great idea. And they'll play with this a little bit in a later scene where it's at the library stealing a device that chants out the ritual needed to wake up this evil villain from his enclosure. This ball thing that they have. That scene is pretty fun. I like how it jumps into a garbage bag and it's bouncing around and then it takes off into a book cart and it goes down. And of course we have to have the nod to the ghost librarian again. She's back. But how? How could she possibly be back?  And so that's how they're able to separate these haunted spirits from these devices and put them into their little ghostbuster cages. There's this really creepy one that's kind of stalking around and I kept thinking, oh man, I can't wait till that guy gets out and we have a scene with it. We don't. We never get a scene with it. It's teased multiple times in the film. It's just in the shadows and very ominous. It gets out eventually and nothing happens.  This film feels incredibly edited down. And I understand I'm jumping around like crazy. There's so much going on in this film which is a major problem with the movie itself. There's too much going on.  A lot of it doesn't add up at all.  Yeah, you're going to love this. Giant beam of energy to shoot up into the sky.  Here we are again. And this messes up the Ghostbusters capture enclosure device and so it starts to go wild and spirits start to break out. Spirits start to get out. That's why the librarian's back in her spot. And I thought to myself, all right, we've kind of done this before in Ghostbusters 2. Here we are again. All the spirits are out. And this is very much going to be a drastic world fall in franchise situation where at the end the clone girl lets the dinosaurs out to roam free and then they set up the next movie. Oh, we have to get the dinosaurs captured or we're going to have to live with them. In this one, it very much felt like, look at all the ghosts are out. So now we can make a bunch more Ghostbusters movies where they're actually busting ghosts. The containment unit is very much on the fritz, this whole movie. And it was established early on because they're running out of space for all these spirits, all these souls. And it is also established that this new facility has like a freaking ton of them.  I think Lucky came up with some arbitrary number that it would take seven years to transfer all of them over. I was like, what? Wow. What kind of system are you guys? Are you guys like jarring them up and taking away getting over? Here's another ghost. While plot 45 is happening, we get to the worst one in the film, which is our girl Spangler playing chess in the park at night, which seems like a really terrible idea if you're a 15-year-old in New York going to the park in the dead of night because your family's out busting ghosts and playing chess by yourself. Not an ideal strategy. It's a bold strategy, Cotton. We'll see if it plays out. And it does. She meets up with a ghost named Melody. There's just an angsty ghost named Melody who died in a fire and she's really good at chess because she's been going there playing with herself a lot. That sounded wrong. We're going to move past it. Phoebe's kind of taken by this ghost girl. She's pretty impressed with her. At one point, she's going to give her a tour of the facility. She's going to show her where the ghosts are held. And that was a big mistake because it's revealed after several scenes of these two boringly talking.  She has the worst timing. She for some reason waits. She has long pauses before she responds.  Anyway, it's revealed she's actually working with Garaka. Garaka! What? That's right. That's right. Why is she working with him? Unclear. Something about being able to see her family again? That stuff was all pretty much over my head. I didn't understand. He's kind of the gatekeeper of this realm that he lives in. It looks miserable in there.  I guess her parents are part of that or he gives her the ability to cross over to the other side. Finally, it was very, very up in the air. It was very George Clooney. But that's not even the dumb part of it. That's fine. Whatever. You want to do the double cross, the double ghost, that's fine.  So she goes to this new facility, puts herself into the machine where she can extract her own soul from her body with an arbitrary two-minute marker, time down. So she has two minutes where she gets to just walk amongst the ghosts. The fuck? What is this? How do you get to this place? I understood she was a little depressed. She was a little bummed out.  She's the reason they're even doing this to begin with. You're going to tell me that Gary and Callie, the adults, aren't going to find a way for her to join in their reindeer games after all they went through in the last film? Poppycock. Absolute Poppycock. There's no way I don't buy it, but regardless, she's sad, so she decides to extract her own spirit from her body. It makes no sense at all.  It is so hard to get on board with this entire section. Also, I went with a buddy and he turned to me and he said, is she gay? I don't know. It was weird. There's such a weird premise. It almost feels like she had to be because she was definitely give her googly eyes and she was very into this chick and maybe she just was enraptured by her coolness. People give in to peer pressure, but it's not like...  She didn't say, hey, you should be a ghost. It's great.   We at one point established that the Proton packs aren't going to work on this new villain. He just freezes them. They need to use copper or iron or something that the packs don't have. So Phoebe lines hers with the materials that she needs in the hopes that it'll work. And yes, of course it works, but we'll get there later.  And then we get to the final act. Keep in mind, one ghost has been bust. One ghost busted in this entire film. Garaka finally rises to power. How? How does this happen?  It was the... It's the perfect plan, I guess. I don't know.  All right, here's what we need to do. I need to use one of my ghosts that can jump into any item. He's gonna go to the library. He's gonna overhear race stands playing a recording on this device. He's gonna record. He's gonna steal the device. He's gonna bring it back to me. We have part of the plan done. On the other side, I need Melody to convince this girl to fall in love with her, go to this facility that I know about that has a machine that will extract her from her body, will then use that recording, will make her say what's on it, and then bingo, bingo, bongo, penis. I'm out of my device. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. He's out, but Lucky's there to save the day. Again, we're hiring 16, 17, 18-year-olds to work at this facility. We don't have grown ass adults that maybe would be better suited to put on these highly dangerous proton packs with nuclear reactors in them and to test out these experimental things. Whatever, we're moving past it. We got Lucky. Lucky's in the house and she has a proton pack. He freezes it. She starts to freeze up, but that's it.  I don't know why. He kills just arbitrarily. So yeah, he leaves. He's going to start freezing everything over. Let it go. Let it go. We get the beach scene where ice is breaking up. People are freezing over, I think. I'm not sure we see... We probably see people freeze. We have to because it's on the beach. Another thing that was just like... This is just an observation. But on the merry-go-round, when they're going around in a circle slowly, it starts to seal up, which felt weird to me because none of the people on the ride are getting cold. They're still very much enjoying themselves when the ride slowly stops. The ride would only stop though if it got really cold and froze up the instrumentation.  But whatever. Just an observation. Thankfully for Phoebe, there's other Ghostbusters willing to lend a hand, including Potts. That's right. Potts is suiting up this time, baby. And he puts on the suit. Bill Murray's back finally. He's barely in this picture. He's in it a little earlier. And again, at the end, perhaps I could be of assistance. He walks up. We have all the Ghostbusters. Rais in uniform. Winston throws it on. This is going to be an epic final battle. We got the family of Spanglers. We got the old dogs coming out of retirement for one last fight. And we're going to square off against the new big bad Garaka. While this is happening upstairs in the firehouse, Phoebe's right downstairs chatting with Ghostgirl again. They talk forever during the battle upstairs. They're not really doing much of anything.  The Ghostbusters don't do anything. They shoot the Proton Packs one time and they're all frozen. That's it. That's all they do. They suit up to do nothing. They don't bust a single Ghost. Oh, sweet. Annie Potts suits up. I can't wait to see what. And she's frozen. Oh, Bill Murray's back to kick some enemies frozen. Why release all the Ghosts again if you're not going to even go after them? Well, I think, again, it's because they're doing Jurassic World Fallen franchise and they're just setting up another one so they can go after some of these iconic Ghosts from the past. Final Act takes place. Phoebe uses her Magic Proton Pack with the new materials.   I'm going to be your friend again. Sorry about everything. This was dumb. He throws the Hadouken fireball. Phoebe throws him in the trap. Game over. That's it. He really puts up no fight at all. It was incredibly lame and in the most mind-boggling ending ever. They walk outside and half the city's there cheering them on. Good job, Ghostbusters. Yay, Ghostbusters. What? How did they even know this fight was going down? How are these people not depressed and sad or frozen to death? We see no bodies. We see no one frozen. They act like nothing happened at all. It's just skit-a-dan, bam, bam, bam. Da-da-da-da-ding, ding, ding, ding. Stupid. And that's it. Ghostbusters frozen franchise. We end with the Spanglers riding off into the sunset after the ghost thing again. Trevor is in the movie again. He's like, hey, I'm here still. Stranger things ended up rapping on filming so I could be in this again. I forgot podcast is in this one. I didn't mind podcast in the last movie.  I just found him to be incredibly annoying. But whatever. We don't need to go into podcast hate. Probably a sweet kid, a sweet actor. It just didn't like the character and how he's smashing things with a mallet. And those are my thoughts on the film. Overall, not a fan. Maybe you liked it more. I'm sure I missed a bunch of stuff. I apologize, 1,000%. There was so much going on. It's such a clusterfuck. It was clearly edited way down. This was probably originally a four-hour movie.  We have to make this a lot shorter. And I appreciate that because if this was any longer, what a miserable experience. There's no music at all. The music is so lifeless. There's such a lack of energy to any of it. It's so humdrum all around. When the Ghostbusters theme finally kicks in when the credits start to roll, I was so taken aback. Like, oh, my God, music. What is this? What's going on? Some of the ideas were fun. Like I said, I like the new types of ghosts. I really like that they introduced the drone trap. And they also had the Hot Wheels racer going on the ground. That was all fun. Again, that was right at the beginning of the film. But all the new things, the adding like X-Men abilities to some of the characters, the new villain being incredibly lame, the whole frozen thing, not really being anything at all. And apparently they didn't have any consequences because the city was all up in arms happy. Like, yay, we did it, Ghostbusters. The fact that they lost their proton packs again, they had them taken from them, only to just have a whole nother set from Winston the next day. Nothing really mattered at all. It was all for nothing. Yeah, that's right. Peck at one point shuts the Ghostbusters down again. But it doesn't matter because like literally the next day they get more packs and they go fight ghosts. It's not like Ghostbusters 2 where things go really bad and then they reinstate them because they have no choice.  But anyway, if you liked it, you liked it. That's great. I'm checked out of this franchise, kind of like I'm checked out of the Jurassic Park franchise and the Star Wars and Alien and all that stuff. It's just so, it's such a product now. There's no life to it anymore. But let me know your thoughts. Are you a fan? Did you not like it either? Leave a comment, let me know. Please, again, subscribe if you like hearing a guy just talk just off the cuff about films that he likes and doesn't like. Oh, also if you really enjoyed this, there's a super thanks where you can leave five bucks, ten bucks, whatever you want to say. Hey, Adam, love the video. Thanks, man, for the honesty. I appreciate it. Or think about becoming a patron at patreon.com. Slash Adam does movies.  I would appreciate any support you can give. Hopefully, I'll see you next time.


So, I am going to attempt some magic here today. I'm going to go through 42 slides in 3 minutes and I'm 10 seconds down. Soap opera testing is a dramatized effort. It's a business engagement activity. It's condensed in time. You can engage your business, the history of the term. Chen Khanna originally coined the term scenario testing back in 2004. He's a serious looking tester dude. We have Hans Verwalder, also another serious looking testing dude who coined the term soap opera testing in 2006. So what is it, the process? You might go through, you might start with a brainstorming activity with your business, your sales, you might ask them, what are the stories our users have done? What are some of the most amazing things that our users have really tried to do? Where is the drama in our product? You execute the exercise and then analyze the results. You might want to redo it again. For example, we're going to use the Simpsons with a mortgage loan application. So as a home assistant comes into a bit of money, he wins the lottery and he's going to apply for a second loan as an investment property. Unfortunately, his father, Abe Simpson, lives in an apartment and it birds down. So he's a bit down on his luck. Homer goes in and he signs, but he's not all that literate. So he signs it incorrectly. He's signing up for an investment property. His application is declined because he doesn't have a good credit rating. Flanders next though, Oh Deadly Dough, the neighbor, comes in and says, I'll help you out with your application. I only put down a 10% deposit, but most of my house is mostly paid off. They'll just help you with your credit rating.  He's putting down a 10% deposit. The Simpsons have their house is 50% paid off and they're putting down a 90% deposit. So they go into the bank, they arrange all the paperwork, but then Homer's brother comes along and he's like, I've got an investment property. I've got an investment option here. Nuclear powered cars, they're going to be the next thing. They're going to be all the rage. Just give me a bit of an investment and we'll see it grow. So Homer has to go in and readjust his down payment. What did we just test? We tested rejections. Homer was originally rejected with his first application. He had to re-edit his documents because he mis-signed his name. We had multiple applications for the same person. We had to adjust his deposit after the application had gone through. Multiple assets with different mortgage amounts and different percentage ownership. We also had the two owners of the property, not located in the same address either. They also had different credit ratings that fed into the different algorithm that would have gone into their application process. The co-owners weren't related and we're signing up for investment property. Here's just a big list of all the possible things we could have tested in that scenario. Amanda, I imagine how many bugs we would have found going through that process versus creating just the standard case case walkthrough. So have fun with testing and tell me about some of the dramas. You've seen in some of your testing before. Thank you. Sorry folks, I just decided to talk here. I don't have any slides to showcase you. So can I start now? Yeah, so my name is Rakesh Kumar. So today I'm here to discuss small about things about accessibility. So we have been testing the application functionally a lot. We are caring about if a user having valid credentials, he's able to enter into the homepage and doing NFM number of activities. We are only concerned about those kind of activities. And sometimes we are more concerned about some of the activities like non-functional activities like security because billions of dollars we are exchanging it, right? So we are concerned about our security. And sometimes since during the sales, so many people are accessing your application. So you are very concerned about the performance testing. So we are just caring about where money is inside and all, right? So there are other things also we need to care about. So from a minority point of view, we need to make sure that every web application is accessible by everyone, right? So that's why we need to do accessibility testing. So you do accessibility on the test, accessibility testing on product and make sure this is accessible by everyone, even though the people are having special needs or are differently able. So I'm here, I'm doing accessibility testing in my arc. So I implement manual ways of doing accessibility and some ways of automating the same flows integrating with Selenium. So from developer point of view, so being here, we are here not to find the defects. So if I, any person asks you, being here, you are here to find the defects. I say, no, I'm here to prevent the defects from initial phases. So how to prevent the defects? You talk to your UX developers. You talk to the normal developers who design front-end backend. So what I would like to say is for the UX developers, design something which makes the UX developers follow WCAG standards. There is web content accessibility standards. You follow those things and there are some levels like AA, AA and AAA. You follow those kinds of standards and successful criteria. So now here comes the picture. How UX can help you? So UX, they're developing all the things, right? Make sure you have color contrast things like foreground colors, background colors. And when they design the wireframes itself, make sure there is a label whether there is any title associated or not. So you make the UX resources aware of all these things. Then comes the picture of developers. You go to them and say, hey developers, while writing your code itself, you make sure there is an alternate text which is available. So if some persons are using screen readers, make sure they can read it. And if you are displaying some video out of it or if you are displaying some slides so that you can maintain all the captions around it. So what I would like to say is make sure that web is equal to everyone and accessible to everyone. So start doing accessibility testing and enhance teams. So there are so many plugins available like color contrast analyzers, A checkers, HTML code sniffer and acts. Try them and make sure your applications is accessible to everyone and makes the whole life easier. Thank you. So I start. Yesterday I did a presentation on PR, how to do VR testing in order to prepare for this presentation. I actually created the room that I was going to present in VR. I've never been here before. I only asked for a few pictures of this room. This is the goal, the end goal. So in order to do this, the first thing I did is that I took pieces of the room that I wanted to use as texture. For example, the floor. I created some PNG image files for these textures. Then I went to, there is more, but I went to Unity, I created a new project. I created a new 3D object plane. Just right-clicking literally. I created also a new material. Same right-clicking but down instead of the left. I added in the Albedo property, I added all these PNGs for all the materials that I wanted to have. I added the material to that plane that I created before. Boom, I have the floor. I did the same exactly for the walls. I also created some cube instead of planes to create the effect of 3D. And that's how my first wall look. I add some lighting as well. I repeat the same for the other walls. I add the doors. Then I don't add some objects from the internet. They're free for downloading. If you look for 3DS objects, I don't add the chair. I get some people sitting down. Main issue, these old people are really white, so I have to change a little bit their skin to match with the audience that I'm going to have and make them look kind of a little bit more Indian. In this case, I don't know if I did a good job, but I tried my best, sorry. And then again, I add the projector. I add my slides to the projectors and I add a little bit of code to be able to change the slides. In this case, I add a new component on the right. There's an option that you can see down there that is add a new component. Even trigger, point the click and when I have the click, then I added a little bit of code that looks like this and it just changed one slide until the other and when you reach the end, it goes back to the beginning, very, very easy. Then at the beginning of the script, you can see all these public properties, all these public properties, then after look like this thing on the right. So you'll see the list of the different slides and I add one by one, this is drag and drop literally, you get the slides there. So then I have this as a final product. You don't see 3DS because it's impossible for me to show it unless you want to use the device, but basically you have a 3D version of the room that you're gonna be presenting on with people sitting down and with your slides that you're able to change. I wanted to just quickly show you a thing that you can do to practice public speaking and to have fun at your office, get your people together. It's called presentation karaoke. So somebody, actually I'm gonna look at Nomi, give me a topic title. I will do a talk on that topic. Guts, guts, guts, okay. I will talk to you on guts today. Let me if we start this with the, shouldn't do this before I get to this, so. Hello, I'm gonna be talking about guts and I'm gonna add guts in testing because we're in testing conference.  But that's not the only thing that takes guts. So let's see what comes next. You can put guts together with just about anything, guts in scenario testing, guts in selenium, guts and whatever.  And you know, you might want to use some, maybe external motivation as well and you know, external motivation like money, might make sense. In addition to money, you might look into things like, your blood would kind of surprise me, but you know, it takes guts to bring your whole self to whatever testing you're doing. So as a final note, I wanted to mention that in thinking of guts in your testing, you might want to compare it to something very complicated, something a little simpler and you know, it takes guts to take a look at either one of them and approach them from a testing perspective. So the idea with what we just did is, I do not know what is the next slide. That's called presentation karaoke. Get a topic that you have and do a talk on that. There's no other way than failing in some way, but usually you fail in an interesting and funny way like I really didn't expect to see 80% block here. So thank you. Hi everyone, good afternoon. Am I audible? Yeah. So I hope everybody must be aware of Bitcoin these days. Bitcoin, blockchain, decentralized technologies. So before going to my topic, which is about implementation of blockchain in the industry, which a company named Great has implemented that. I just want to add two lines for the blockchain. It is something like on which we don't, a single entity or a group of people don't have control over it. A community controls it and it's public. So no one can go and change it. Everyone can say it. It's anonymous. You cannot see what changes have been done by someone else. Yet it is public, but everyone can say this. Changes are done, but who has done it? We don't know. It is DDoS free, DDoS resistant. You cannot attack it. You cannot hack it. These are the advantages of black blockchain or decentralized technology. Blockchain is one of the decentralized technologies. So there is a company called Great in the United States. It's a sneaker company, Shoes. And the problem statement was the parallel gray market was running and for the counterfeit products, they were making shoes and they were like putting a lot of money in the R&D. But once the product was launched, after a few days or a few weeks, the counterfeit product was in the market and they were facing a lot of losses due to that. These are the few statistics. 600 billion worth of counterfeit product in the fashion industry itself. And out of that, 40% of the counterfeit products are in the sneaker industry, only in the shoes industry. And 100 million worth of sneaker shoes are getting seized by U.S. customs every year, which is a very, very less amount if you compare it with the $240 billion. So what is the counterfeit problem? People are doing like putting so much money in the R&D but they're not getting value out of it. So due to this, the price of the product becomes very, very higher and it becomes difficult for us to buy this. What was the solution? The traditional solution a company will make where something like it will make the manufacturing process very difficult so that it is very difficult to counterfeit. They tried that instead of counterfeit product getting into the market in seven days, 10 days, the counterfeit product was getting into the market in 15 days or 20 days. But yes, the counterfeit product was getting into the market. Material science, they tried to change the product, the material of the product. But again, it is very difficult for a normal person to check if this is the same material, if this is the original material, everyone cannot know about it. Everyone don't have the knowledge about the material. After that, they came up with the authentication certificate or some kind of barcode but these can also be replicated. So then they came up with a solution of blockchain in which they just had, I hope everyone is aware, we can only have 21 million bitcoins. We cannot generate more than that. If you lose any of the bitcoins, you cannot regenerate it. So they used the same concept. They said for our new product, we will be having only one million shoes available. These are the maximum number of shoes they will be having and they attached an address to each and every of the shoes. They tied up with the two companies, Chronicles and some other company, I don't remember the name. And after that, they created an NFC chip. They baked their chip into the shoes and they created an app. Now, if you scan the shoes, they will just tell you these are the shoes which is in our one million pair of the shoes. If this shoe is not available in our one million pair of the shoes, then it will reject that shoes. Like this is a counterfeit product. So by this and if you try to replicate that NFC code into the shoes itself, then just 30 seconds. If you try to replicate that NFC code in some other shoes, then if you try to scan that specific shoes, then it will show you a message. Like this shoes was available in US, the United States, but how can this reach to India before, sorry, before, like without intimating us. So it stores all the information related to that specific address, which is the shoes actually. So that is how they stopped counterfeit of their new product. Hi, I'm Sridhar. So today I'll be speaking on a tool to mock the responses. So like we all work in micro environments, microservices, distributed teams. Like we are dependent on the output of some different team. So we can't afford to wait till the development of that team is complete. So we need to mock the responses. And also as a QA we need this. So I work in a travel domain where like if you have to test some of the UI or some of the error codes when there are some trained disruptions or some cancellations, then we can't afford to test it in production. So we have to mock the responses. So I'll quickly show you a tool. So we're using which we can mock in one minute. Okay, so this tool is called wire mock. So it's just a jar file. You need to just run it as a Java FNJAR and wire mock. So that's how you have to run. And if you run it, there are two folders. So this is the directory structure, folder structure of this. So there is a mapping file and the files. So mapping just shows like what is the, like this is a condition for me, like what condition I should do the mock. So in here I'm saying if my URL is v1 slash mock, then just return whatever is the content of mock.json file, right? And also the status code you can also add what the server headers you want to send. If you have to set the cookies from the server, then you can add that. And if you have to allow only a few origins, then you can add it. Like there are multiple options to it. And also this is the request. So I'm just checking the URL and method is get. So if there is a get method with URL v1 slash mock, then return me the content of mock.json. So this is what I'm doing here. So if you see the mock.json, so the mock files are there in the files folder. So if I just open this, this says username valid json file. Okay, so I will just run this. So I'm just running the wire mock server here. And by default it's started in 8080. And when I hit v1 slash mock, this gives me the username and password which I have stored in the mock file. So there are multiple options for it. And this is a standalone file, just java-jar. And you can just run the jar. You can put it in your EBCS and add a build step in your pipeline to start the mock server. So as simple as that. So there are multiple ways to do the request matching here. So just a second. So you can do it using Java or also the json which I have showed here. So you can also add say the some conditions, some star operators or some regular expressions just to match the request and responses, to match the request so that you get a proper response. Okay, so I think this is a very handy tool. It will be useful for on our day-to-day purposes. Yeah, thank you. Hey guys, I'm Tomak, I'm from Poland. And I'm totally not prepared. It wasn't planned. But I want to tell you about two things that we are using in our Selenium framework that makes our life really easier. First thing is email testing. We are using in-bucket. If you are familiar with any temporary email service, in-bucket we can set up locally and use any email at webpage, as plain HTML. So we can implement it as page object pattern and just run Selenium tests around it. If you want details, I'm happy to share after presentation. Second thing is the way to monitor performance in easiest, fastest and cheapest possible way. Every modern browser has something like navigation timing API. It's building, you don't need set up anything and you can save data from this, like DOM ready, like when external sources for web page are downloaded. And we can push this data, for example, to Elasticsearch and later to Grafana to have beautiful view how performance of our site is going. Set up is literally like five lines of the code. So you can, without any additional framework, without any additional tools, set up performance monitoring in your company. Like I said, I'm happy to share details after. Originally, it was a topic for two hours workshop. So yeah, I have something to tell about this. Thank you. Thank you very much time. But how many people are facing challenges with data generation in test automation in your companies? Nobody? Yeah, people might be facing, yeah. I understand that. Because I was also facing the same kind of issue. So we come up with a way of generating application specific data, random data, so that we don't need to go to any library available in the online to just play around with it. You can generate your own data in your own way. So for example, I can, I want to show you a piece of work which we have done. So you can see a data folder here and the text files over here. So these text files are contains the random data and you can create any text file with the data which is specific to your application. For example, in my application, I had a field which required questions, some kind of fact or questions. So I had added a file with questions inside this folder and by simply defining function called getQuestion, I will be able to read a random question out of all the questions which is in the file by using this function. Similarly, you can define anything. For example, if you want to get in any medicine name, you can create a new file here with the name medicines.txt and define a function there. It will pick up a random medicine name from this file and put it into your test cases. Now another challenge which generally people face is outdated data. So for example, if you have a URL and in the next release your testing URL has changed. How do you manage it? The best way is the common way is just go to your test code and change it from there. But we have to find a new way which is by defining it into the Excel sheets in such a way that by centralizing your data, so that whenever you need a change into your data, you just get into the Excel and change it from there. Now another problem decides is that if you are using Excel, then you would have to commit Excel into your code base also. But to solve this problem, we have also come up with a library called Read Excel Anywhere. This library actually allows you to read the Google sheets or SharePoint Excel sheets or your local sheets or other like open text kind of Excel sheets. Any Excel sheet which is there in the market, this library allows you to read it by very simple configurations. For example, if you want to read Google sheets, you just need to have the Google sheets resource ID and your key and that's it. By these two parameters, you would be able to read your Google sheets and it will return you the sheet data in a very simple format like a map or a list which you can further use it into your framework for getting the data out of those sheets. There was a requirement that most of my team members are manual testers and SMEs. So we wanted to have a framework which enables you to do creation of easier automation test suite and a test suite which can be collaborative. We wanted faster test executions and easier maintenance and the major hurdle which we had was our team was geographically separated. So I was working from Mumbai and my team from Ukraine and other team members were in the US. So to meet those requirements, to fulfill those requirements, we created this framework. Now what exactly we have built? So you must have heard about a term called BPT, it's called business process testing. Anybody who would have used UFT or QTP in their past, they must be aware of BPT. So this framework is a combination of BPT, that concept, some concepts taken from cucumber and some concepts taken from keyword-driven framework. Now putting all this together, I have created a framework which is code-less by using simple Google Sheets because Google Sheets is well-known for collaboration. And you can test your code, you can test your test cases also, you can execute your test cases without checking your code to get our SVN. Now, how does it work? I'll talk about it. As you can see, can you see it clearly? I hope so. Okay, I'll try to make it bigger. All right, this consists of only three sheets. First is test case sheet. You can see that a single test case, if you see over here, it looks like a scenario, a cucumber scenario. It simply says related user, customer, user can login successfully. And on the right-hand side in the business process column, you can actually see business processes. Business processes are nothing but reusable components which you think can be reused across multiple test cases. You create business processes thinking about that. You can see there are simple business processes like user navigator login page, enter credentials, and user is on the homepage. So with these three business processes, I can actually validate and test this particular test case. And the best part of this framework is that you can write your test case in any language. You see, I have written it the same taste in Spanish language, in Hindi also, and in any other language with Google Sheets supports. And talking about the business processes, this is another sheet where you actually map your business processes with the sequence of actions which is responsible to perform that action. Like, as it says, user navigates to the login pages. So you can decide upon the actions which creates that business module with the right set of parameters. And the last sheet is the locators sheet. So at last, I just want to say that this framework allows you to collaborate without installing anything. You just need to have the access to those Google Sheets and you don't need to have to access to your Jenkins or Bamboo, wherever your framework is installed. And by just hitting build button, you will, that framework is going to read all these Excel sheets on Google Sheets and it will give you the reports of if it looks something like this. So I have extended the extended report in a way so that it can support my framework. So if you can see here, its report is very clear. It has all the dashboard stuff. And by simply looking at the reports, anybody can understand what this test case is doing. So it makes it more apparent, more helpful in understanding your business. And it helps the developers and testers and SMEs to collaborate together because we are not talking about functionalities more rather than just writing the code, right? And I just want to show you the demo. So this is what I wanted to showcase to you guys. This is called, I named it as Automatica and you can use Google Sheets just to write your test cases and manage it from anywhere. Thank you.


That's a lovely set-up you know by KC. Can they make it too? Appeal for a handled ball, but play continues. Here's a shot. Oh, that's a fabulous save, you know Deontay Gehry had to stand tall to parry that one over the top It was Fletcher with the effort. It was a target But denied by Deontay Gehry. Yeah, not in the best of moods Gehry So even though he executed that save very much aware that he gave away one ball for Kingston College You can see from his reaction still feeling, but that's still a wonderful save. Strong double-handed save
