With felonies flying fast and furious at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue this week, it may seem a curious time to write about how Democrats running for president are saying kind of crazy things.
But they are.
Because Andrew Yang, Bernie Sanders and (sometimes) Elizabeth Warren are radically misdiagnosing problems in the U.S. economy, they are off — often miles off — in prescriptions for reform.
The sheer amount of loose talk about how capitalism is failing is stunning. This myth-making scares workers in the present, and sparks proposals that should scare markets for the future.
Like, what?
Robot reaction
Begin with the worst: The notion that automation is robbing the economy of millions of jobs. Relying on a Brookings Institution study that says 61% of U.S. jobs face high or medium exposure to automation in coming decades, candidates are proposing everything from universal basic income to limitations on trade.
News: Trump bashes Pelosi, Democrats during Texas rally
Yang, who brandished the Brookings study, and Warren, who engaged Yang in a long argument about whether automation or trade was doing more to kill jobs in a nearly full-employment economy, the candidates tried to outdo each other, declaring the economy broken and vowing to spend, in some cases, trillions of dollars on badly targeted "cures."
Wow. This is so untrue it basically hurts.
First, you know automation is happening when productivity rises. The point of automation is to raise the amount of output each worker can generate by supplementing their labor with machines. If productivity grows faster than sales of goods these workers make, fewer workers will be necessary. If sales rise faster than productivity, firms need fewer new hires to meet fresh demand, and will pocket more of the new revenue as profit.
If that sounds harsh, consider this: Productivity is where raises come from, as companies and workers divide these gains
But here's the thing — growth has been terrible for the past decade or more. Business investment growth (which leads to productivity growth) has been spotty, too, as companies pulled back after the dot-com crash, again during the 2008 financial crisis, and more recently (and modestly) in reaction to President Donald Trump's trade clashes with China and others.
Not happening
This means that the wave of job-killing automation hasn't happened. The 3.5% unemployment rate might have been a clue.

The government has been successful in mobilising Rs 19.14 billion revenue in the first month (mid-July to mid-August) – which is 27.54 per cent compared to the same months – of the current fiscal year.
"The government had mobilised Rs 15.1 billion in the same month of the last fiscal year," said finance secretary Krishna Hari Baskota.
Due to lack of full-fledged budget, the Finance Ministry has not set a formal revenue target for the current fiscal year. "But for the internal displine, the ministry has set 18 per cent revenue growth target," he said, adding that the revenue exceeded Rs 1.45 billion the unofficial target.
The government mobilised Rs 7.93 billion VAT in the first month of the current fiscal year, followed by Rs 3.94 billion customs, Rs 3.30 billion income tax, Rs 2.50 billion excise, Rs 891 million under non-tax revenue and Rs 567.09 million under registration and vehicle tax.
"However, registration and vehicle tax revenue mobilisation has come down," Baskota said, "Revenue mobilisation from registration and vehicle tax reduced to Rs 567.09 million from Rs 588.45 million in the same period last fiscal yeardue to slowdown in the transaction of land and real estate business."

Reviews and Comments
An intelligent, well-constructed, outrageous black comedy about a mob collector (John Travolta) who wants to break in to the movie business. It's expertly acted by its all-star cast, thick with irony, and will greatly satisfy an active viewer. The film just works, plain and simple. It isn't readily apparently what makes some of the best moments so good. When Danny DeVito receives an elementary answer to a question of an actor's motivation, or Gene Hackman's blank stare after mimicking uncharacteristic toughness on the phone, well, it's just that Hollywood magic at work.

Hulk Hogan Should Be All for Suing Peter Thiel, Says Gawker Administrator
Peter Thiel helped bring down Gawker by secretly funding litigation by Hulk Hogan over the publishing of a sex tape. Now, in a twist of fate, the administrator of Gawker's bankrupt assets is considering selling its potential legal claims against Thiel to a third party and arguing in court that Hogan stands to benefit and he should be all for it.
In advance of a bankruptcy hearing on Thursday, the parties are discussing those potential prima facie claims, specifically the ongoing hunt for evidence to support such a lawsuit against the Silicon Valley billionaire.
Just before Thanksgiving, Thiel filed an objection.
On Wednesday, Gregg Galardi, an attorney for the administrator, responded.
"While Thiel complains of the 'Plan Administrator's decision to sell the subject claims,' a cursory review of the source to which Thiel points reveals that no such decision has yet been made, merely considered," states a reply brief. "The Wall Street Journal article cited in the Thiel Objection quotes the Plan Administrator for the unremarkable fact that the 'sale of these possible legal claims is being considered to maximize the value of Gawker Media's remaining assets for the benefit of stakeholders.'"
If such a lawsuit proceeds against Thiel, the administrator has suggested it could yield "millions if not tens of millions of dollars."
In November 2016, Hogan (aka Terry Bollea) arrived at a settlement agreement with Gawker to resolve his legal battle over the sex tape. The ex-wrestler not only got $31 million, but also a share of distributions from a contingent proceeds creditor account. As such, Hogan theoretically becomes a beneficiary if a third party steps up to buy those Thiel claims. It's a point that was made at an earlier hearing by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Stuart Bernstein, and it's now being echoed by the administrator.
"Indeed, it was the potential value of the Thiel Claims that prompted the Court to suggest to Bollea's counsel that Bollea should 'be all for' the Plan Administrator's request for a Rule 2004 examination," writes Galardi, referring to the discovery proceeding. "After all, Bollea would receive a large recovery from any proceeds from the Thiel Claims pursuant to the Debtor's confirmed chapter 11 plan of liquidation."
Thiel objects not only to the sale of claims against him, but also how he's being elbowed out of the sales process for Gawker's remaining assets, which includes the flagship site, Gawker.com. In his pre-Thanksgiving filing, Thiel's attorney argued that the administrator had lost sight of fiduciary duties.
"By wrongly excluding Mr. Thiel, the most able and logical purchaser, from the sale process on specious grounds, maintaining selective secrecy over that process, and insisting on proceeding with expensive and unwarranted discovery against him concerning alleged claims that are now being marketed to third parties, the Plan Administrator will only depress the value to be achieved in any sale," stated Thiel's court papers.
It's possible that Thiel would like to acquire Gawker.com to rid the site of old articles once and for all, as has been speculated. Or maybe Thiel wants to spend money to buy claims against him and avoid becoming a defendant in a lawsuit.
Regardless of the answer, the administrator defended the process.
Arguing that no contractual or fiduciary duties are owed to Thiel, Galardi also tells the bankruptcy judge, "[T]here is simply nothing wrong or improper about excluding Thiel from the sale process at the present time. Thiel has refused to provide any written indication of interest for the Gawker Assets or the Thiel Claims. Second, the Plan Administrator is pursuing a sale of the Gawker Assets in the manner that, in his business judgment, is most likely to maximize recoveries to the remaining estate beneficiaries. Thiel's only connection to the Gawker Assets is funding a campaign of litigation against the Debtors premised on his desire to destroy the business forever. So, Thiel's statement that he is the most 'able and logical purchaser' and that he should be treated 'like any other prospective bidder' strains credibility, especially in the face of his continued resistance to Court approved discovery regarding the actions he took to destroy the very business he now seeks to own."
It's added that Thiel's participation is more likely to hurt prospective bidding rather than really maximize value.
"Indeed, the Plan Administrator's concern that Thiel's involvement in the bidding process may chill bidding stems not only from Thiel's conduct towards the Debtors prepetition, but also from his attempts to negotiate a release for himself," writes Galardi, later adding, "Given Thiel's long history of vindictive conduct against the Debtors and the fact that his interests are plainly adverse to those of the estate while the Thiel Claims are being investigated, the Plan Administrator has legitimate concerns regarding Thiel's participation in the sale process. The Plan Administrator has therefore sensibly decided not to include Thiel in the confidential portion of the sale process of the Gawker Assets unless and until (i) Thiel makes a bona fide offer to settle the claims, (ii) the Plan Administrator has sufficient information to determine the value of those claims, or (iii) the claims against Thiel are resolved."

Here are the latest photo updates of Centrio Mall taken from CM Recto Avenue.
Based on the photos, an initial white coating is being applied on the wall. The building stands an imposing 7-storey structure at the corner of CM Recto and Corrales Avenue. Meanwhile, the anchor store is also catching up fast. I don't know if the anchor store could rush things in time for the mall's target opening in October.

Rated 5 out of 5 by maximus from Great for Work & Home I utilize this meter at work for basic troubleshooting, and probably a bit more for home & auto projects. It has everything you would expect from a multi-meter at this price point. The display is nice and clear, the meter is accurate, and its easy to use, and I enjoy this type of amp meter vs. a clamp, because for tight spots it works nicely.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tomseabee from Absolute best meter I have I first used this meter in the US Navy while working as an electrician. Most of my work was on generators after hurricanes. The convenience of having volt ohm and amp meter in one made it an invaluable tool. Having retired from the navy and now an electrician for the city, I find that I still rely heavily on this meter. In fact I have convinved the entire crew to switch to this meter. Can't say enough about this meter. It is surely a must have for any toolbag.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kwyjibo007 from Covers the basics and it's bulletproof The tester itself handles all the basic measurements one needs to diagnose or troubleshoot problems. It's not complicated and very intuitive in terms of operation. The small size makes it easy to carry in pant or jacket pockets. Rugged construction that withstands the elements only adds to the value. The fixed jaw can make it difficult to get into some tight areas. The low measurement resolution can also be a problem. However, this is a tester and not a true clamp (or multi) meter. The end user needs to understand the device's limitations and select the appropriate tool for the job.

Clear display and long prongs really assist when you try to test terminals in low lighting conditions. The testing of the actual wire seems to be pretty accurate as well. The plastic body is good when you're working on electrical terminals so you know it's safe online items

I have other fluke testers but the compact design make this a meter you can carry in your back pocket. The amp tester is easy to use in hard places where a clamp cant get. I would recommend this meter to guys coming into the trade and seasons workers who need something a little more convenient. Fluke always knocks it out the park.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DocktDoorZeus from I love this compact meter I use this meter everyday to protect my life and trust it thoroughly (while still taking necessary testing before and after). My one and ONLY complaint about the meter: the leads tend to get stuck when you insert them in the meter, that is, the forward testing part of the meter. Takes a little effort to pry it out. It's compact size and great safety rating help me feel confident and comfortable carrying this meter day in and day out in an industrial location.

text: The news snuck in just after we had posted Friday, but we should mention that the Senate has approved extension of the federal terrorism risk insurance program. The move would extend the program for a further seven years from December 31. The Senate version is very different to House legislation passed a couple of months ago (see our September 21 posting). However, like the House, the Senate version would expand coverage under the program to include domestic acts of terrorism. Coming just days before Thanksgiving, this is a timely and positive step for the industry. Final consensus on the program will now need to be reached so that it can be reauthorized before year-end. Check out further I.I.I. information on terrorism risk.

Brownie Points Now Included. Read This Post And Become A Certified Etiquetted Professional Person. Really!
Introduction to Basic Etiquette in Korea
Basic Etiquette in Korea, Why Do You Care? Are you visiting Korea? Do you have a job in Korea? Have you been hired to work in Korea? Do you want to date in Korea? If you are thinking yes, then this post is for you.
To help you save "face," we've written this post so you can socialize with Koreans in Korea and even be considered a mild mannered, polite "good" person in the eyes of the older people in Korea.
Our post will help you will earn those coveted etiquette brownie points. Your life just got a lot easier if you visit Korea. If you don't want to receive etiquette brownie points, then don't read this post. However, the points are non-fattening and probably will help you lose weight because of numerous socializing you will get to do.
One more thing. Many people have compared the Korean etiquette to their own countries culture, so there is no excuse! You can't say this is an Asian thing, like saving face. Etiquette protocol is prevalent everywhere.
Let's get this post rolling along.
How Do People Greet Each Other In South Korea?
I always bow to an elder, someone older than me. You bend at a 45-degree angle. You won't be wrong by bending at a 45-degree angle to someone older than you. I've reached legendary status level 99 due to my politeness. You can't go wrong with a bow.
Greeting someone younger, the younger person bows or says hello first. Nowadays, I extend my hand for a handshake or wave to say hi. I support my right wrist with my left hand when shaking hands with someone older.
Nowadays, you will see the local Korean's greet each other with hugs, hand holding, handshaking, and even pats on the head. With friends, the younger will always bow to the older person. As a stranger, the younger will always bow to the older person.
Basic Etiquette In Korea You Need To Be Aware Of.
If a Korean person bumps into you on the street or inside a building, don't be offended. This happens a lot in Korea. It's not rude behavior or disrespect in Korea, it is a minor daily incident. Respect is shown in different ways, and this post points it out. Read this post, and you will be a professional, polite person, someone that will make many friends in Korea. Maybe.
Always respect someone older than you. You should bow in the beginning and speak in a normal pleasant voice.
Always remove your shoes before entering someone's home in Korea. Especially during rainy days. The person probably cleaned the house before you arrived and prepared something for you to eat. Dirtying their house with your shoes shows that you have no manners.
Always remove your hat indoors. Not sure why that is necessary, but I've been told that.
Always receive gifts, foods, objects with both hands extended out.
Eating Etiquette
Eating while walking was considered inappropriate, but nowadays, you will observe younger generation doing that. Should you do it? If you are not a Korean citizen by birth, who cares? You can get away with that. Everyone knows you are a foreigner in Korea.
Don't eat with your hands, eat with a spoon, fork, or chopsticks. However, fried chicken or pizza is ok to eat with your hands. I've eaten them with chopsticks to show how Korean-American I am. My mother didn't think so, and I got a handful of "Slap-Fu."
Don't blow your nose in front of someone at the food table. Who wants to visualize nose fluids being sprayed over the foods on the table? Can you say Tuberculosis, anyone?
The eldest person should be served the food or drink first. Everyone usually waits for the eldest person or the highest status individual to start eating before they eat. Just don't bow 45 degrees at the table. It will look weird unless you like being strange.
Drinking Etiquette
South Korea has a reputation for excessive alcohol drinking. Alcohol consumption is part of everyday life in Korea. Did you know that soju is a drink consumed more than water in Korea? The amount of soju consumed in Korea is mind-boggling. It is drunk at social gatherings, weddings, get togethers, and more. As such, here are some excellent etiquettes to be aware of when drinking a shot of soju.
If you can drink more than anyone else at the table, you gain instant alcoholic drinking celebrity status. It's not a K-POP celebrity status, but just as important, in a minor way. The men in Korea have a drinking game to determine who can drink the most. If you have a high tolerance for alcohol and win at these games, you will get tremendous respect. Don't expect them to bow to you. You might get the thumb between the index and middle finger salute and they won't remember doing that to you the next morning.
Avoid emptying your glass, because usually, that means you want more. If you don't wish to drink alcohol, leave some soju in the glass, that will indicate you've had enough. Or it might mean you lost the drinking game. Back to ordinary human status.
Fill other people's glass before your own, starting with the eldest, most senior, or the one with the highest status. Just don't point at that person to indicate you want to fill their glass.
Do not fill your drink; wait for someone else to load your glass. If there is no one else that is sober, then fill your glass. You won't lose face here, just your consciousness from all the drinking.
If you don't want to drink soju, don't give moral reasons. Instead provide a genuine reason like a medical, religious, or other reasonable grounds. I usually state that I don't like the taste of alcohol, so that's why I don't drink. Pass the Coca Cola, please!
Communication Etiquette in Korea
Eye Contact
Maintain eye contact during a discussion or friendly conversation. Don't stare at them at like you are there for "Mortal Kombat."
Korean's usually avoid eye contact with their superiors at work.
If you are legitimately being scolded or rebuked by someone older or of higher status than you, avoid direct eye contact. If you don't then it is considered that you don't care what your actions do to others.
Receiving With Your Hands
Always use two hands to receive a gift, money from someone.
Gestures to Someone
Don't stick up your middle finger; they know what that means. Don't put your thumb between your index and middle finger that is the same as the middle finger.
Beckoning Someone
Don't point your finger at someone and gesture them to come to you. Don't have your palms facing upwards and gesturing with your hands. That is considered rude, something done to animals. Instead, with the palm facing the ground, start with your fingers straight and move your fingers as one unit and point to the ground. Do this several times.
- Do be aware of your social standing in Korea and act accordingly. This just means to act polite and have good manners. Would you want a stranger pointing at your mother while talking to her? Korean's observe social standing studiously, usually that is the first thing they establish. Ever wonder why they ask about your age? It isn't because they want to introduce you to their daughter. For me, it was their niece.
- Do give them your first name if asked. If you are not Korean, then they probably will not ask you about your family name, your last name. They can see that you are not Korean. The importance of last names is mainly for Koreans speaking to Koreans.
- Do tell them what you do in your job. They may or will ask about your job, what you do. Don't try to make it self-important as everyone does in the West. They can see a fluffed up job title from a mile away.
- Do give the eldest person the respect they are due, no matter what their social standing is. Never point at them, don't talk to them informally, and never raise your voice at them. Unless they committed an atrocity, you will always lose. I've never met an elderly person in Korea that has done a crime.
- During a conversation, try to compliment on what you liked about Korea. If you must criticize, add another experience that made you think positive about the topic you are criticizing.
- Don't compare or contrast the Korean culture and language to Japan. That's bad. Seriously. Don't Do It. Korea has its own unique culture and style that is different from Japan. Korea's language is a unique innovation that Korean's are very proud of.
- Don't exhibit your anger or distress with outbursts of emotion and temper, especially at someone older than you. And never point your fingers at someone as a result of your anger, especially someone older than you.
- Do not ever, ever point your finger at an older person in Korea. Not even someone your age or younger. That will alienate you as someone being rude. Korean dramas show a young man pointing his finger at a girl that is the same age or younger, but that is the movies.
And Finally
If you believe that the Korean population has the mindset of children, then you might want to rethink that before interacting with Koreans.
Before the development of Korea, many had thought that the average Korean was simple. In a way, they were not wise in the ways of the world.
That was the reason why Korea was once called the "Hermit Kingdom." That is not the case today.
Nowadays, many Koreans travel to other countries and experience different cultures. Korean conglomerate businesses have branched outside of Korea to the rest of the world.
The way Korea has developed into a first world country is impressive. Many of the technologies and innovations researched, developed, and produced are from Korea.
Korea has been a leader in the medical, genetic, and electronic technology fields. I don't think I have to give an example but here is one, curved flexible LED screens.
Ending Comments
Now that you've have a basic understanding of the etiquette of Korea, your vacation or job probably just got a lot better. No need to thank me, but if you decide to give me a gift, I will accept it with both hands. LOL.
Now come to Korea and make some friends!
See you at the next post or maybe in Korea. If you see me in Korea, say hi and buy me lunch! I will gladly accept it with a bow. OK, that's the end of me shamelessly promoting to get free stuff from you. See you later!
I hope this was an interesting read on the Basic Korean Etiquettes in Korea.

Principles of Administering Audio-Visual Programs
by Francis W. Noel - 1949
The purposes of this chapter are threefold: (1) to describe for school administrators the scope of activities necessary for the administration of an effective audio-visual education program and the functions they may expect an administrative unit charged with that responsibility to fulfil; (2) to suggest to prospective audio-visual directors a guide for planning and setting up a department; and (3) to provide directors of departments now in operation a basis for analyzing and evaluating the organization and operation of their activity in terms of its functions.

Reuters, a highly respected news agency based in London, recently had their blogging platform compromised. This resulted in false stories posted on their website, including a made-up interview with a Syrian rebel leader. Adding insult to injury, Reuters was attacked again just a few days later, and this time hackers got control of their Twitter account, posting more dubious stories about how the U.S. supports Al Qaeda and that Obama ceased funding to 9/11 investigations.
How did this happen?
It is widely suspected that hackers were able to exploit weaknesses in the widely-used WordPress blogging platform. These weaknesses have been patched, but Reuters simply failed to update to the latest version of the software, using 3.1.1 instead of the 3.4.1, and this mistake purportedly brought down their entire website. 3.1.1 is well-known for having security issues and WordPress insisted that everyone update immediately once patches had been developed.
These attacks could have been easily been prevented if only Reuters' engineers had clicked at the notification which appears at the top of every WordPress dashboard (its admin panel) when new updates are available, which take seconds to install. The oversight is odd, understandable only if Reuters made many customizations to their WordPress installation or was using plugins that might be incompatible with the latest version.
Even more incredibly, after the hacking incident broke, bloggers posted screenshots showing that Reuters still had not updated their WordPress installation for some time after the attack! (This has since been rectified.)
The importance of using the latest version of software
It is very important for users to always update to the latest version of WordPress software, because it is the pre-eminent blogging platform, used by huge media companies and individual bloggers alike. This makes WordPress a choice target for hackers, similar to the way Microsoft products are so often targeted due to their ubiquity.
Reuters is not the first company to have gotten hacked through the use of an older version of WordPress. Recently, over 30,000 websites were hacked to redirect traffic to fake antivirus software. Over 90 percent of these websites were using outdated versions of WordPress or its plugins, pointing to this as a probable contributing factor.
Hacks are not always as serious as the Reuters incident and manufactured news on a respected news site read by million is pretty serious. In some cases, hackers simply want to create fake user accounts on blogs in order to post comments with backlinks to spammy sites. But for WordPress sites that have sensitive user information, such as e-commerce sites with customer databases, even seemingly innocuous penetrations might allow further access down the road.
To sum up, simply keep your software up to date. As mentioned, WordPress and its numerous plugins are very painless to update, and the price of not doing so is a loss of productivity, traffic and revenue. Responsibility for maintaining a website lies not with WordPress, which is a free, open-source platform, but with the IT managers and webmasters that use the platform. Learn from the Reuters incident to safeguard your own sites

U.S. President Barack Obama has urged American business leaders to press Republicans in Congress to reach a compromise in deadlocked deficit reduction talks. The remarks came as a key Republican lawmaker said it is up to the president to make the next move in negotiations.
Obama appealed to chief executive officers of leading U.S. corporations to help break what he called the "logjam" created by congressional Republicans on a deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff - automatic spending cuts and expiring tax cuts that many economists warn could push the country back into recession.
Obama reiterated his call for a "balanced approach," saying he is prepared to make "some tough decisions" on spending cuts, and look at long-term reforms to large government entitlement programs.
But he repeated his call to raise taxes on the top two percent of income earners, while extending tax cuts for the middle class.
"We can probably solve this in about a week," he said. "It's not that tough, but we need that conceptual breakthrough that says we need to do a balanced plan, that is what is best for the economy, that is what the American people voted for, that is how we are going to get it done."
Watch related video by Mil Arcega
Obama pointed to what he called a recognition among some Republicans of the need for some tax rate increases coupled with entitlement reform and spending cuts.
The president also warned he will not tolerate a repetition of last year's standoff with Republicans over the need to raise the nation's debt ceiling. That fight led to the first downgrading of the U.S. credit rating.
"If Congress in any way suggests that they are going to tie negotiations to debt ceiling votes, and take us to the brink of default once again, as part of a budget negotiation, which by the way we have never done in our history until we did it last year, I will not play that game," he said.
Before Obama spoke, the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner, said it is up to the president to make the next move. He noted the House Republicans have sent a deal proposal to Obama.
"That offer included significant spending cuts and reforms, and it included additional revenue," said Boehner. "And frankly, it was the balanced approach that the president's been asking for. Now we need a response from the White House. We can't sit here and negotiate with ourselves."
Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo bank, said financial markets have already adjusted to a likely increase in tax rates, but going over the fiscal cliff, to any degree, is likely to slow the economy.
"We are going to go over the cliff, we're just not going to plummet over the cliff, we're going to slide over it a little bit, because taxes are going to go up in a way that is going to weigh on the economy," he said
The White House said that contacts with Republican lawmakers continue. No new meeting has been scheduled, as far as is known, between Obama and congressional leaders.

7 Steps to Leverage Customer Data in Your Multichannel Campaign Strategy
The InterACT! conference held last week in Chicago put the spotlight on how consumers are engaging with media in different ways, and the way marketers must adjust their strategies to reach them. The focus continually fell on using data and direct interaction to more effectively target and speak to consumers. Chris Bondy, group director of show co-presenter InfoTrends, suggested that companies scrap campaign-centric strategies in favor of a circular approach to customer interaction that would create a sort of rolling, ever-adapting marketing strategy.
According to Bondy's workflow, out goes the isolated campaign focused on its own media and creative—establish a message, select its media, then pick an audience to send it to. Instead, marketers should select the audience first based on data analytics, determine campaign strategy and how to deploy it, then begin again with the new data generated by that campaign.
Bondy's new marketing mantra is "acquisition, retention and growth." The marketer puts the customer at the center of the dialogue and crafts a marketing campaign in these cyclical steps:
1. Data analytics. Start with regression analysis to gauge what you've done before, who you're targeting and what they want. Bondy suggested that companies who do this well start with analytics to understand as much about that segment as possible.
2. Develop a strategy and define targets for acquisition and customer retention.
3. Design the campaign and choose media and channel with content, constituency and look in mind. According to Bondy, "the strategy in many cases dictates the channel."
4. Deploy the campaign in a data-focused drip that allows you to adjust on the fly. "We don't do rollouts anymore in huge quantities," said Bondy. "Most of the top direct mail folks are always doing a control package and two or three tests against the control."
5. Interact with customers through a real-time dialog using the tools the target audience uses, whether that's Twitter, live chat or a phone call,

Painting Contractors Services in Drumcondra
Are you considering giving your home or business a new look? Do you need to repair water stains on ceilings and walls or over walls in which mold has been removed? It may be tempting to do the task yourself, which may result in cost savings. But, there are lots of reasons you should consider hiring a professional painter and decorator service.
Costs of Equipment
Good painting of interiors or exteriors requires an investment in gear — brushes, rollers, sprayers, tarp to protect surfaces and floors, ladders, scaffolding, sanders, chemical knifes, patching materials, solvents, the listing can become long and pricey. Employing a professional painter and decorator means that the painter comes with the tools they will require to do the job correctly, will clean those tools up whenever they're completed and will require them away to be saved elsewhere.
Protection of Your Property and Preventing a Mess
A professional painter and decorator will have the ideal equipment and be educated and knowledgeable about how to protect furniture, floors, cabinets, walkways and other things that you don't need painted from any harm. If your work involves staining, a professional will have the correct equipment and experience to use the stain properly to achieve the perfect finish and once attained, shield the finish.
A professional painter will also completely clean the work area once the job is finished.
Planning is Key
A professional painter and painter will know that preparation is the key to a great looking, long lasting paint job. The walls or other surfaces that have to be painted might need to be thoroughly cleaned, repaired, degreased and/or primed. Areas with water or mold staining may require further treatment and diluting until they are prepared for a final paint job. It's a good deal of work and if it's not done properly with appropriate instruments and techniques, it will not lead to an excellent finish.
Skills and Patience
Painting takes patience to generate a gorgeous excellent finish and in addition, it takes skill that is developed with training and experience. A professional will learn how to finish each of the preparation and painting jobs required to achieve the best effect.
A professional painter will also understand the substances which are required to perform the work correctly. Which primer will provide the correct coverage? Oil or latex? Matte, semi-gloss, high gloss? Which primer base is required? What paint foundation? Roller or spray?
A professional painter will have the ability to recommend materials which are best to get the look you need, while avoiding any damage to your surfaces. With that information, you can attain a higher quality finish that will last.
For outdoor tasks, a specialist will know the ideal weather, temperature and sunlight conditions to complete the job with the best results. Stains react differently in direct sunshine than when it's overcast, and at several temperatures. While rain obviously impacts the job, heat and humidity may also impact the quality of outside paint finishes. A regional professional painter will understand the proper materials to use to produce your exterior last as long as you can in Dublin's climate.
Climbing on ladders while attempting to apply paint properly is a skilled job that requires careful attention and focus to prevent severe injury and harm. The greater the site that requires painting, the greater the risk for an crash. For inside projects with high areas or outside jobs, a professional painter may have all the tools and experience necessary to perform the work correctly and safely, including the proper dimensions and design of the ladder and scaffolding.
Your time is precious and painting yourself takes a substantial amount of time. Using a professional painter and decorator take care of the work for you can save you days and days of work, and can normally be achieved in a much shorter period of time.
A study from Trinity College Dublin suggests the average Irish person requires 28 hours per day to accomplish all of his or her tasks. Prevent including a paint job into that and talk to a professional painter about your requirements.

BLACK VEIL BRIDES: Audio Sample Of New Song 'In The End'
An audio sample of "In The End", a brand new song from Los Angeles theatrical rockers BLACK VEIL BRIDES, can be seen in the new promotional clip for WWE's upcoming Hell In A Cell pay-per-view event, which will be held October 28 at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Check it out below.
"In The End" will appear on BLACK VEIL BRIDES' upcoming concept album, "Wretched And Divine: The Story Of The Wild Ones", which is scheduled for release in January 2013. The cover artwork for the CD was created by the band's longtime friend, artist Richard Villa, and can be seen below..
The group was assisted by GOLDFINGER's John "Feldy" Feldmann during the tracking sessions for the CD.
BLACK VEIL BRIDES frontman Andy Biersack previously stated about the band's new effort, "I'm so happy, excited and proud of this album!" He added, "Thank you, [Feldy] for helping us to create something we are all so proud of! This entire record is a dream come true!!"
Biersack told NME this past summer that the follow-up to "Set The World On Fire" was going to be "more of a punk rock record than anything we've done before. It's SOCIAL DISTORTION meets METALLICA."
BLACK VEIL BRIDES' new song, "Unbroken", appeared on the soundtrack to this year's movie, "Marvel's The Avengers". "Unbroken" is included on "Avengers Assemble", a 14-track compilation of music from and inspired by the film. "Avengers Assemble" was released on May 1.
BLACK VEIL BRIDES' latest EP, "Rebels", was released last December, exclusively through iTunes.

Zika virus is the latest health threat gripping the U.S. public. Before we get to the role of state health agencies in monitoring the disease and preparing for its possible spread to the United States, a quick check of some pertinent facts:
There are several good FAQs that provide more detail about Zika, including the CDC's Q&A: Zika virus infection and pregnancy.
State health agencies have been intensively collaborating about Zika virus with CDC for several weeks, and states are aware of the CDC's recently released guidelines on monitoring and testing for the virus. For a health agency, Zika is now on the list with other high-priority vector-based (meaning the disease is spread through insect or animal contact) diseases, including West Nile virus, Chikungunya, and Dengue Fever to name a few.
Hawaii is currently managing a rare outbreak of dengue fever that includes local transmission. Hawaii also recently had the first U.S. case of an infant born with microcephaly linked to the presence of Zika (though the disease is believed to have been contracted by the mother in Brazil). Virginia Pressler, MD, director of the Hawaii Department of Health, notes that the public education messaging used by the agency to reduce and then eliminate the dengue fever outbreak also aids in keeping an outbreak of Zika from getting established.
"We are in the midst of a dengue outbreak right now, so we are building on that effort to educate physicians and the public to be aware," she says. "We have a 'Fight the Bite' campaign for dengue that applies equally to Zika and Chikungunya."
Public health and environmental workers in Hawaii are also working in communities. "We are engaged in active mosquito abatement with spraying by state and county workers to properties and surrounding neighbors within 200 yards of suspected dengue cases," Pressler says. "We are also engaging entire communities to work with us to address standing water, water catchment systems, and protection against mosquito bites."
Mississippi State Health Officer Mary Currier, MD, MPH, notes that relationships with health providers are an important function of the state health agency. The Mississippi State Department of Health has a Health Alerts network to communicate important information to providers. The key, she notes, is to keep the messaging precise and succinct.
Mississippi also works to control the mosquito population. "We are engaging in mosquito surveillance with external partners to identify the presence of vectors that could transmit Zika and other arboviruses," Currier says. "We work with viremic cases to prevent transmission events to the local mosquito population and help with mosquito abatement in the immediate vicinity of confirmed cases"
Should local transmission of Zika present itself in the United States, state and local health agencies would likely engage in similar practices.
For now, state health agencies are in preparation and monitoring mode when it comes to Zika. This includes public education and outreach, as evidenced by Georgia's Zika virus FAQ, and the Florida Department of Health's press release. States are also doing outreach to medical providers urging them to ask travel-related questions of patients and to contact state or local health departments if Zika may be presented in a patient.
Note: This post was updated with information from the Mississippi State Department of Health on Feb. 2 and with new information on Feb. 3.

After completion of this course I know which values to look at if my ML model is not performing up to the task. It is a detailed but not too complicated course to understand the parameters used by ML.
Apr 19, 2020
Very good course to give you deep insight about how to enhance your algorithm and neural network and improve its accuracy. Also teaches you Tensorflow. Highly recommend especially after the 1st course
by Mihai L•
Jan 21, 2018
This course is also interesting. The art of tuning hyper parameters and other optimization techniques are very interesting and nicely explained.
The introduction to Tensorflow and assignment is also interesting.Overall the difficulty is not high but the concepts are really powerful and important ,most scaffollding is done
by Vlad M•
Sep 07, 2018
The course part is overall good.
The last assignment can be improved in two key ways:
The comment # Z3 = np.dot(W3,Z2) + b3 should be # Z3 = np.dot(W3,A2) + b3 - figured this out by myself without help from forums. :)
Also, the Adam optimization is not very apparent in the instructions - searched in the forums for issues.
by Brad M•
Aug 22, 2019
In my deep learning classes in academia, hyperparameter tuning was always "hand-waved" away - my questions were always deflected, or put off. This class answered every one of my questions, and made me more confident I'd be able to implement a DL system in industry, and be satisfied with the results. Very good course!
by Zeinab B•
May 04, 2020
This course will cover everything you need regarding your neural network performance. I always had questions on why and when you use Adam, SGD, etc. and after this course, I have a much better understanding of how to choose hyperparameters and optimization methods. I highly recommend this course to ML practitioners.
by Toby K•
Nov 01, 2019
I am working through the DL specialisation. Consistently good teaching style and the programming assignments are suitably pitched for getting the learner to pick up methods quickly e.g. Tensorflow syntax for self-application later. Good course and looking forward to the next in the series. Well done Andrew and team.
by Ankur T•
Nov 21, 2018
word is not sufficient signup and experience it. For a deep learning beginner who already have math background can easily understand concept behind it but for implementation you need to refer extra materials on internet and book too. Andrew Ng explain only concept and recipe but for practice you will struggle hard.
by afshin m•
Feb 05, 2018
This course is continuation and a requirement of the first course. Really like the learning style of how first course and the first 2 weeks of the second course taught neural networks by doing all the math and calculations manually and finally introduced Tensorflow with parallels of what was taught in the class.
by arulvenugopal•
Dec 17, 2017
This is another excellent course in this specialization. I enjoyed the programming assignments. The instructions, tips made Tensor flow coding section to be easy . However, few blocks consumed more than few hours, due to placeholders. logic and the TF documentation is overwhelming. I am proceeding to next course.
by Wei L•
Aug 26, 2017
This course is harder than the previous one. It teaches more details of tuning parameters and optimization in deep learning. In the end it also teaches tensorflow which is really helpful. It's like a programming course, nerally all the commands have been already provided, so it's not hard to get the code correct.
by Muhammad T•
May 26, 2020
As usual, Andrew is a great instructor. He taught very complex concepts in very simple language and used notations that were easy to understand and were consistent throughout the length of the course. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. I am hoping to complete the specialization in less than a month. 2 down, 3 to go!!!
by 姜云鹏•
Nov 21, 2017
It is really good and teach me the basic understanding of DeepLearning back propagation and gradients optimization like Momentum, RMPS, Adam finally I learn how to use Tensorflow to train my model.
But there are some mistakes in the assignments and also in the grade so that it costs me a lot of time but useless.
by Mushfiqur R•
May 03, 2020
It was a good course on understanding various hyper-parameters, some regularization method, optimization of algorithms, various gradients and gradient checking, batch - mini batch, exponentially weighted average , some tuning algorithms and finally a small introduction to deep learning frameworks. RECOMMENDED!
by Vinodh R•
Nov 12, 2017
The course content was excellent. The only issue is that there were some glitches with the grading of the second week programming assignment, in that I could obtain the expected output, but with repeated submissions, there would be (different) sections which could not be graded due to unnamed technical issues.
by Altaf K•
Apr 06, 2020
5/5.Thank you sir for helping me in my career.I recommend everyone to go through this course if you really want to learn detail about hyper parameter tuning , optimizers and regularization used to make neural network better. It helps to open black box of Neural network and know in detail about how all works.
by Renato L•
Jul 03, 2019
Excellent content and very well explained. Thanks for this amazing course.
The course cover the building blocks of a Neural network. Andrew (and his team) did a great job by organizing the content in an evolving way in which you have the chance to build the knowledge from each piece of a (deep) Neural Network.
by Bryan H•
May 28, 2018
Practical programming lessons, and well-paced enjoyable lectures.
Move tutorials on TensorFlow to Course 3, which was the most obscure part of the course. TensorFlow isn't as intuitive as other numerical toolboxes, so spending more time on the foundations of TensorFlow might reduce the learning curve.
by LIUZHENTAO•
Sep 05, 2020
A wonderful AI course! In most Ai courses we could only learn some specific algorithms. In this course, however, we could learn beyond AI itself. There are many practical AI skills in this course like hyperparameter tuning, regularization method and optimization strategies! I benefit a lot from this course!
by Mojtaba H•
Feb 11, 2020
It covers very good tips and tricks to build and enhance deep learning model.
Andrew is the best teacher for ML and Deep Learning, he covers all theory and practice simultaneously.
In this course you can understand all mathematical intuitions and implementation of neural network from scratch by your own codes.
by B G•
Sep 14, 2020
Another great class taught by the incredible Prof. Ng! I have to admit there were time I felt a bit overwhelmed but by the time the course came to an end, I felt like everything "clicked". Very much looking forward to the next course and can't wait to dive deeper in ML frameworks. TensorFlow, here I come :D
by Shrikrishna B R•
Jul 17, 2020
It is a very good follow up course in this Specialization. It is about how we can improve our a accuracy/predictions by tuning hyperparameters, using better optimization techniques and it also talks about deep learning frameworks. Overall it was a good course. Thank You Andrew Ng for this wonderful course.
by Juan C B•
Mar 08, 2020
Good second course to understand how we can improve our deep learning models with a good hyperparameter selection, some regularization techniques to reduce overfitting such as dropout, l2, early stopping and some optimization techniques for when we have a large datasets like momentum, RMS prop, adam, etc..
by Rob v P•
Oct 02, 2017
This second course in the specialization is really great. I have gained a lot of insight in hyperparameter tuning and the reason why they work (or don't ;-). It is much easier now to understand what models are doing and why we need certain techniques. This is again one of the best courses for deep learning.
by Abdallah D•
Feb 03, 2020
Fantastic course providing a broad overview of hyperparameter tuning in deep neural networks. The introduction on TensorFlow is informative. Looking forward to the three remaining courses of this great specialization on machine leaning. Thanks Andrew and their assistants for putting those courses together!
by Daniel R B•
Jun 06, 2018
I really liked the course. The forum is very helpful navigating programming errors during the assignments.
A thing to improve would be to get the feedback from the forums to the lectures. Specially in corrections that should be made to the programming assignments that don't match the expected result. Thanks
by Steve S•
Dec 11, 2017
Provided a lot of deeper insights passed over in the previous course in the specialization. Between this course and the previous course, you feel like you have a very solid beginner's understanding of deep learning, but one that is also practical enough and comprehensive enough to start coding on your own.
