SAN FRANCISCO—The fastest, most cost-effective way to secure direct-record electronic voting machines in the United States, according to cybersecurity experts, is to stop using them. Switch to paper ballots and apply risk-limiting audits to ensure that vote tallies are conducted properly.

What do you do when you notice that you have a lot of items or user stories in your product backlog and some of them are no longer relevant or necessary? Simple. You do some grooming or cleaning up. The best thing about the Scrum methodology is that it is very adaptive to change. Otherwise, it wouldn’t fit the ‘agile’ work concept. This characteristic makes Scrum a perfect framework for developing various products and processes in as little time as possible and with a high level of efficiency.

In last tutorial we have seen, how we can return a HTML code through a string from views.py. It is not a good idea to pass whole HTML code through a string because if we have to design a complete webpage in HTML then we shouldn’t pass the whole code through the HttpResponse function because it will reduce the readibility of our code. So instead of passing the whole code through the HttpResponse function, we’ll create a separate HTML file.
