text: In The Machine, playwright Matt Charman and director Josie Rourke turn the 1997 chess match between grandmaster Garry Kasparov and IBM’s Deep Blue computer into a lively, riveting, edge-of-your-seat multimedia sports event. With the audience sitting on raised bleachers on all four sides of the stage in the Park Avenue Armory’s massive Wade Thompson Drill Hall, Kasparov (Hadley Fraser) battles Deep Blue, operated by its cocreator Dr. Feng-Hsiung Hsu (Kenneth Lee). As the hard-fought six-game match continues, flashbacks reveal critical moments in the main competitors’ lives. Kasparov, who lost his father at a young age, is still a child when he takes on grandmaster Anatoly Karpov (Cornelius Booth), his mother (Francesca Annis) determined to have him be accepted to Karpov’s famous school. Hsu, at Carnegie Mellon, teams up with fellow student Murray Campbell (Trevor White) to attempt to improve a chess computer built by their professor, Dr. Hans Berliner (John Ramm), while struggling to commit to his cheerleader girlfriend, Tamsin (Antonia Bernath). During the match itself, cameras move around Lucy Osborne’s inventive set, projecting images onto an overhead Jumbotron while a pair of announcers detail the action. Two of the most thrilling moments occur when at first chessboards, then computers are pushed around the square stage along lighted tracks, beautifully choreographed scenes (by Jonathan Watkins) that continue the theme of man vs. machine, equating the two fields. Fraser plays Kasparov with a nervous energy that highlights his growing fear and worry as the games go on, while Lee’s Hsu is jumpy and awkward as he gives up any chance of a personal life in order to invent the best. During the course of the show, Kasparov is alternately referred to as both “too human” and a “monster,” while he accuses the IBM team of cheating because Deep Blue made what he believes to clearly be human moves in the second game, as this engaging Donmar Warehouse production once again focusing on the similarities between the machine that is man and the machine that is built by man. Be sure to arrive early, as there are many chess sets at the armory where visitors are encouraged to sit down and play.

Speaker Paul Ryan Paul Davis RyanHuckabee Sanders: ‘I don’t know’ if infrastructure bill will happen this year GOP leaders seek to stamp out Republican revolt on immigration GOP lawmakers back discharge petition to force immigration votes MORE (R-Wis.) sought to put down a revolt from pro-immigration Republicans on Thursday, insisting he wants to bring a bipartisan immigration bill to the House floor before the crucial midterm elections.
But the Speaker reiterated that the immigration legislation would need to get President Trump Donald John TrumpTrump greets 3 American detainees freed by North Korea Trump called Blankenship after Senate primary loss: report Education Dept to relax rules restricting faith-based institutions from getting federal aid MORE’s endorsement first — a tall order given the inability of Trump and Democrats to agree on an immigration compromise.
“I’d like to. I want to have — I want to fix this problem, so I would like to have an immigration vote before the midterms. But I want to have a vote on something that could make it into law. I don’t want to have show ponies,” Ryan told reporters at his weekly news conference.
“I want to have actual law and that means the White House has to be a part of this and it’s got to be a bill the president can sign,” Ryan added.
Ryan dismissed the discharge petition backed by the centrist Republicans, which GOP leaders argue would simply give power to Democrats by allowing the to team up with a minority of Republicans to pass a bill on the House floor.
“We never want to turn the floor over to the minority. What I don’t want to do is have a process that just ends up with a veto,” Ryan said.
“Going down a path and having some sort of spectacle on the floor that just results in a [presidential] veto doesn’t solve the problem. We actually would like to solve this problem,” he added.
Ryan’s comments are unlikely to dissuade the centrists pushing the discharge petition. So far, 18 Republicans have joined the cause, seven shy of the 25 Republican signatories needed to force a vote if all Democrats sign the petition.
The petition would set up a “Queen of the Hill” process in which four different bills would receive votes, with the measure getting the most votes, assuming it attracts more than the 218 needed, being sent to the Senate.
Many lawmakers in both parties believe the bill backed by the centrist lawmakers would prevail under Queen of the Hill, with Democrats supplying most of the votes.

It has only 95 GOP co-sponsors and no Democratic support.
The Speaker, who will retire at the end of this term, did concede that it’s now clear any immigration bill that comes to the floor this year will have to be bipartisan.
“When I don’t have 218 Republicans, I want to make sure we have a bill the president would actually support,” Ryan said.

For the last couple of days, when I sign in on the Internet I see that the Yahoo page comes up with school supplies all around its logo. I usually enjoy their little graphics for the different seasons and holidays, but I must say I’m not quite ready for school supplies. As I write this I am sitting in my backyard enjoying the nice weather, there’s a slight breeze that is making it very pleasant. Recently the days have been so hot we spend our time out in the early evening. The little guys play in the sandbox while my husband and the twins shoot some hoop, or we’ll take a ride on our bikes. The long days are nice, but as I look at the calendar, I know the beginning of school is fast approaching, so I must begin preparing.
The first thing I do is make my list of what books I need to purchase. We always start our school year the day after Labor Day, and those four days are spent on reviewing things from last year, and just getting back into the routine. So I can usually wait to purchase my books at the end of August. I also make a list of school supplies they’ll need and start picking them up here and there as they go on sale. One thing nice about homeschooling is that we don’t have those extensive school supply list I hear so many parents complaining about. Every year at Wal-Mart, I see a couple of parents with their lists in hand and a frustrated look on their face discussing products on the list compared to what is on the shelf. I secretly envy them, a school supply scavenger hunt sounds like the most fun. But then again, I’ve never had to do it.
The next thing I do is create my calendar for the year. For our State in Illinois, the required days of instruction are 176 days. This is not mandatory for private or home schools, but I use this as my guide in planning my days off and breaks. I pretty much follow the traditional school calendar, having Christmas and spring breaks. I decide which federal or state holidays we observe, sometimes on that day. “It’s Casimir Pulaski Day, hey we’re Polish, let’s take the day off!!” Having a guide for the year like this helps me alter it easily. We can take an unscheduled day off if we want to visit with relatives from out of town, or if my husband has a day off during the week and we want to do something. Then what we can do is have school on one of the planned Federal Holidays like Columbus Day or President’s Day. The kids will get a copy of the calendar on the first day of school. The first thing they do is count how many days until their first day off.
I have read articles from other homeschool Mom’s who will go away for a weekend by themselves before the school year starts. I have done this once before, and I used some of the time to go over lesson plans, and review curriculum. I usually take a semester break in January or February and just stay at a hotel and do nothing but enjoy the time by myself. I do have an opportunity to get away for a weekend in a couple of weeks, which I am taking full advantage of. I haven’t always taken these breaks, I used to think wanting to get away was selfish, and a sign that I was a bad mother and wife. I would feel guilty wanting to leave the kids with my husband for a whole weekend. But I have felt the benefits of time away to re-charge my batteries. It doesn’t have to be fancy or far away, unless your budget allows it and you want to go to Hawaii. I just know how good it feels to get away and I highly recommend it.
Being that August just started, I do have some time left to enjoy the summer and that’s what I plan to do.
I know that different areas of the country may start their school year at different times. If you could have it your way, would you have school start before or after Labor Day? You can add your opinion below.

Beamery enables companies to attract, source and engage world class talent by combining Recruitment CRM and Marketing software in one modern, easy-to-use interface. The platform runs modern recruitment marketing at scale and delivers your desired end-to-end candidate experience.
Based on online behavior and hundreds of different data points for each candidate (anything from application intent, to content viewed, to social information) Beamery builds recruiting funnels and seamlessly executes marketing automation campaigns. Candidates are engaged with targeted landing pages and content, talent pipelines are segmented between new prospects and silver medalists, and recruiters focus on building relationships and process.
Who does your product help and how?
Beamery customers believe recruiting teams should focus on finding, engaging, and hiring candidates, not mastering complex marketing methodologies and data analysis. By combining marketing automation with sophisticated candidate intelligence and tracking, Beamery lets recruiters focus on their core responsibility - building relationships with great talent - while providing an on-brand, personalized experience for candidates across every touchpoint on autopilot. Traditional metrics don’t help teams understand the impact of recruitment marketing, so Beamery provides the reporting that companies need to analyze and improve things like brand engagement, pipeline generation, campaign effectiveness, diversity and the candidate experience.
The most successful modern brands put the customer first. They obsess over providing a highly tailored online and offline experience and engaging consumers on their terms. The rules of engagement have clearly changed, but recruiting technology hasn’t evolved at the same pace. Candidates expect to receive the same level of personalization, the same experience that they receive from marketing departments, but talent teams weren’t hired to be data scientists or consumer marketers.
Beamery enables companies to take a more relationship-centric approach to recruiting, driving personalized experiences at every level of the candidate journey with sophisticated marketing automation campaigns which provide candidates with the right content for their stage and level of engagement.
Built to integrate seamlessly with existing recruiting technology, Beamery becomes a single source-of-truth for an organization, housing every candidate past, present or future, and helping recruiters leverage every relationship by keeping candidate information relevant and constantly refreshing profiles with new behavioral and professional data. When it comes to attracting and pipelining talent, keeping them engaged, creating a best-in-class candidate experience for anyone that interacts with your brand and getting sophisticated reporting into the entire end-to-end process, Beamery is the new standard.

Federico Desimoni, Director of the Consorzio said: “The NYCWFF Is one of the most relevant food event in the USA. We cannot miss it. We want to play our part by offering passionate gourmands the opportunity to get up-close-and-personal with some of the world’s best products. After our first participation, last year, we understand that it is the perfect location to meet aware, engaged and inspired people to promote our key message of how to protect and recognise the authentic Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. We’re excited to be there and to be able to stand before the most renowned chefs, winemakers, spirit producers, culinary personalities, industry professionals, and partners”.
and presented by Beverage Media on Friday October 12, from 12 to 5pm. In the days after the so-called “Black Gold” will be protagonist at the Grand Tasting presented by ShopRite featuring Culinary Demonstrations presented by Capital One® on Saturday & Sunday October 13-14, from 12 to 6pm: the signature event of NYCWFF which brings the best local NYC restaurants and most sought-after wines and spirits under one giant roof for two days of foodie bliss.
The Consorzio will be also one of the sponsors at the luxurious, brand-new NYCWFF event Truffle Takeover, presented by Urbani Truffles on Friday, October 12, 7:00PM – 10:00 PM, taking place at The Bowery Hotel, the symbol of style and sophistication in New York City’s Lower East Side. Balsamic Vinegar of Modena will be perfectly reinterpreted by Chef de Cuisine, Brian Gonia, of Atoboy NYC, a two Michelin starred Korean restaurant in New York.
With the “Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, the Original” project, co-financed by the European Union, the Consorzio aims to develop positive dynamics towards the US market and to raise informed purchasing awareness to get consumers to choose protected products over counterfeit and deceptive ones. In the US market the level of recognition of European Geographical Indication productions, such as Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, is insufficient and brand awareness is highly generic.

A hardy evergreen herb with excellent culinary and medicinal uses. In the herb garden, alongside a sunny garden wall, or in containers, the plant releases a wonderful aroma when brushed against. Winter savory has been used for hundreds of years. Both it and summer savory have been grown and used side by side. Both have a strong spicy flavour and a good reputation in the kitchen. In addition to this, medicinal properties of this plant are numerous, making it a worthy choice for any garden. It also makes great ground cover for dry and sunny places and is perfect for containers, either alone or in combination with plants that won’t shade it out. The flowers open in the summer, adorning the plant with tiny pink/white blossoms that are very attractive to insects. It makes a great companion plant, working especially well with onions and beans to help repel pests. To order this plant please contact us balkanecologyproject@gmail.com.
Suitable for: light (sandy) and medium (loamy) soils and prefers well-drained soil.
Suitable pH: acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils and can grow in very alkaline soils.

A good dense ground cover plant for sunny positions.
In temperate climates it can go dormant in winter. All the stems which appear dead will leaf out again in the spring.
It can be used as a companion plant for beans, deterring bean weevils.
Easy to grow, it can make an attractive border plant for any culinary herb garden.

Ooh, I like those men at arms alot! Thank you for posting Davidian, and your flesh tones turned out very nice!
It is interesting that they choose to have the main colors of both factions be white and red for their launch minis. From a distance, they will look pretty samey. Also very interesting to see them multi based. Can't wait to hear back reports from Essen.
Every time I see those archers and that brute I'm surprised nobody went and gave them that pallid skin look that the Dirz guys all had.
Looking forward to hearing about some demos next weekend!
The game is designed for play on a 4x4" board and give the mass war feel with far fewer physical minis than conventional mass wargames have come to expect.
Whilst on round bases, multibase movement trays are incorporated to improve in game admin yet models are removed individually to indicate casualties.
Units enter play dependant on their level. Low level skirmishes take place early on to establish the front lines where reinforcements get to deploy from almost any table edge using the Offside mechanic where pushing the enemy line further your reinforcements to deploy closer to the lines ending in much grander clashes as the game escalates.
The Spire Abomination... Oh my!
Big fan of the men at arms, but the spire stuff doesnt appeal to me much. Im hopeful that a third faction a bit less. Gw chaos meets kingdom death pops up.
Ah, well four factions are planned for initial release, the Spire, The Hundred Kingdoms (where the man at arms slot in), the Nords (self explanatory I think) and the Dweghom... Something mentioned about dragons blood but again, being awfully cryptic about this last faction. Also, more factions planned as a second/third wave to introduce different styles of play.
Those men at arms look interesting, but the spearmen... are they completely unposeable? I see what you mean by "clone"!
That spire abomination thing looks pretty mental!
Wonder what material it's going to be made out of?
Getting a very good (as mentioned earlier) Confrontation Dirz vibe from the Spire - very nice!
Wasn't able to finish the whole video, but like what I saw a lot! The Para Bellum guy said they won't be doing a Kickstarter and that the miniatures we be plastic and on sprues (which I interpret as HIPS plastic)! If that doesn't get people to pay attention I don't know what will. Also there were human guys with big two handed swords and knights.
The mechanics also looked interesting: You use a deck of cards that you order to control which of your units activate when, the game begins with an empty board with light units showing up first, followed by medium then the heavies as the game progresses. Morale failures cause causulties rather than whole units turning tail.
The big spire abomination looks awesome.
You nailed it mate. They will be in hard plastic.
Also, if units loose heavy casualties, they become broken, where RALLY becomes a mandatory first action.
Stanrs are in terms of class, a class 3 marksman rolls to hit on a 1,2 or three so like gates of Antares, it's high stat low roll.
This is looking really good, anyone know if some kind of Undead or swarming army is going to show up in this game soon?
I miss having a WHFB undead army and I really like what this game is trying to do for 28mm mass battles (by making them less massive).
The 4 planned factions for release are the spire and hundred Kingdoms in the demo. Nords and the ancient Dweghom (absolutely no idea about them).
But that is just for starters. There will be further waves of factions for release.
I'll ask for you mate.
I finished watching the video. The mechanic if being able to bring in your reinforcements up to the distance on the board you control is brilliant. The rules sound great.
Davidian, any chance we can get a scale shot of the spire dudes you have on hand? I want to understand what 35mm means in context of the other fantasy miniatures I own.
I have a few that might give you an idea.
Thr brute drones are massive even by infantry standard, the archers are 45mm tall..
I'm not at home atm but the best I can do are these atm... you might be able to get an idea. I have to say, th esizer of them makes them so easy to paint but the infantry are no bigger than say, a priamris space marine.
That’s just a 3up isn’t it? With arms positioned slightly different from the smaller model.
This game is looking really cool... Both miniatures and what little background I have seen so far look really intriguing. Does anyone know when it will be released?
The hundred kingdom guys look interesting. IT requieres a LOT of guts to go in for a mass battle game instead of just the standard route of a kickstarter boardgame with a gazillion pvc monsters.
I know it fits the description of mass battle but with big models and a 4x4" field of battle, you won't have to invest in the vast amount of models that has become the status quo in recent years.
The biggest units you'll be likely to field will be 6 stands of infantry (24 models).
Those are some really beautifully painted minis!
The bone-archer is very cool, assume you would have a higher rate of fire with the three arms!
Ah, well the Spire Clone archers are Rank 3 marksmen.
What this means, is that with each ranged attack they make, they succeed to hit with each D6 roll of a 1(Ace), 2 or 3.
Hmm my interest for this game is slowly increasing.
One thing that might make things a little awkward for me though is my gaming table is exactly 4x4 and the mass units deploying from offboard thing could make things somewhat cumbersome.
Well fear not then dude! Because this game is specifically designed to be played on a 4x4" board!
How I wish a solid rank and file rule set would come out with accompanying minis as lovely as these that was in 15mm scale.

Jim Mullen is a private consultant specializing in emergency management. He served as Director of the Washington State Emergency Management Division for 8 ½ years, retiring from the State of Washington in March 2013. He is currently sole proprietor of “EM Northwest Consulting” based in Seattle.
While at the state of Washington he ushered in the development of a 2-way day to day interaction between private industry and the state emergency management division. He established a logistics planning capability, and created an exercise and training section that coordinated a thematic E&T effort statewide. Throughout his tenure, he engaged in developing recovery and long term post disaster restoration capabilities, culminating in 2012 with the Evergreen Quake Exercise Series, in which a substantial amount of time and planning was divided among logistics planning, response, and introducing a “Resilient Washington” concept in the restoration/recovery phase of the Series. That concept remains the catalyst for innovative advance planning for post disaster restoration and redevelopment following a catastrophic event. That exercise series also marked the first time that the cross border Pacific Northwest Emergency Management Agreement (PNEMA) was operationally tested with staff deployment across borders and direct interaction in exercise play between the Governors of Alaska and Washington State as a well as the Premier and Solicitor General of British Columbia.
At his direction the nationally recognized Map Your Neighborhood program was designed and implemented in Washington State and has since been adopted in many other states, and has been introduced in several other nations as well.
He served as President of the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA) from January 2011 to October 2012.In the years prior to assuming the presidency of NEMA Mr. Mullen chaired the NEMA Mitigation Committee, where he spearheaded the organization of the National Mitigation Alliance. Mr. Mullen was a forthright advocate for consideration of interdependencies beyond the disaster and for greater emphasis on maintenance of supply chains: uncommon a few years ago but now a staple of state director discussions. A major accomplishment was the solidification in a divided Congress of the worth of the Emergency Management Performance Grants, and the introduction of a White Paper by NEMA that proposed a comprehensive reform of Homeland Security related grants to assure the flexibility for local and state emergency managers while guaranteeing the accountability Congress and federal Administrations rightfully expect. Although initially controversial, the essence of that Homeland Security Grant Reform proposal can be easily found within the President’s proposed 2015 Budget.

• PySpark API functionality that you didn’t know you needed.
So, whether you’re an application developer or a Spark expert this session is for you. If you’re a developer wanting to deploy a spark cluster into production, this session will help guide you through techniques to make this transition easier and quicker. However, if you’re an expert, then this talk should give you some insight into how application developers work and help you to coordinate with the development team.

Chile Stick Flag - 4x6"
Most of the South American flags share a large part of their early history. Most of the nations in South America began their vexillological tradition when they were part of a European colonial empire, most commonly that of Spain. The nations adopted new flags when they won their independence, and those nations that gained their independence at the same time often adopted similar flags, which makes it easy to tell the early history of the nations by looking at the flags of South America. A few South America flags include references to the native cultures that existed in the region prior to the colonial era, most notably that of Bolivia.
The Spanish Empire dominated South America during the colonial period, but a wave of revolutions brought independence to the colonies during the 19th century. The revolutionary wave brought about the adoption of many new flags. Few of those flags remain in use, but most of the modern South American flags can trace their lineage back to a flag from the revolutionary period. Many of these flags are made up of three stripes due to the influence and imagery of the French revolution on their development. The most notable exception to that trend are the flags of Uruguay and Chile. Stars are often used to represent individual provinces or states within a nation, likely due to the influence of the flag of the United States of America. Those shared influences combined with the tendency of South American nations to influence each other ensured that many South America flags resemble each other in the modern era.
The Spanish Empire controlled most of South America until the 19th century, but it was not the only Empire that held territory on the continent. Several nations in South America can trace their history back to other empires, and their flags are some of the most distinctive in South America. Guyana, Suriname, and Brazil all have flags that break the triband pattern that is common to most other flags of South America, and all of them are descended from other European Empires.

« Avoriaz…here’s an idea of what this winter has in store for us!
Here’s the next installment of Our Camper Jess’s competition experiences this year.
¨this is how i got on in the last couple of lowlander series comps…….
I got a third out of three at Bearsden Dryslope in Glasgow….I went on my own so before I got there I was scared to death, but when I got there the girls were great!!! it was a big air and quarter pipe set up…. I found the kicker alright but don’t have much experience on quarter pipes! but was still really pleased as I landed my first backside one eighty on dryslope, Kara who won, landed a backflip!!! crazy girl!!! she was lovely though and I’ve met her a couple time since at SnowZone in Glasgow (Braehead).
The night before the SnoZone event I went there to practice with some friends, they had a big park set up and it was great to get my legs before the comp the next day… i boardslid and 50-50’d my first c box which felt amazing!! they also had a big kicker which i was getting my biggest 180s yet on so was really pleased with myself!
The next day I was really nervous as I knew there would be more girls at this event, but once I got on the slope all the girls were really nice and there was a really chilled out feeling. On the practice runs somehow…. I’m not sure how, but I landed (a kinda big for me!!) backside one eighty method! much to my friends and brothers amazement (one of them is now seriously considering booking himself on to a camp) I couldn’t get the smile of my face!!! For the comp, I decided to take the line of kickers as the rails all had pretty big gaps on to them. My best run was a frontside one eighty over first, indy on the second, and a backside one eighty over the biggest, with a little shifty over the last which I was really pleased with. The other girls were doing similar things so no one knew who would get through. I didn’t qualify but it didn’t matter to me at all and I had one of my best days riding yet because I really pushed myself and enjoyed the other girls company.
oh, and I’m now 186 on ttr rankings!!!
The next 3 comps are in Feb-March at the scottish resorts and I’ve invited the girls from Summer Camp up too, so hoping we can have a winter reunion! I’m off on my first european winter holiday to three valleys in January with some friends, I’m so excited about going to a big resort in winter and hoping for lots of powder!!!
P.S CHECK OUT THE STEEZ ON THAT METHOD, NICE ONE JESSICA!
I wrote a blog about my first day at the hill. The lifts were closed and there was only like 2 inches but my fiend and I rode the hell out of it.

Consultants are always talking about “deliverables,” a term used to describe the final product provided to their clients. Consultants understand that business people are loath to paying for mere advice even if that advice is critical to their business, but they are open to paying for something tangible like a deliverable. The so called “deliverable” is usually a nice thick report bound in one of those fancy expensive folios that may contain some useful strategies and tactics but quite often is filled with platitudes and generalities accompanied by colorful graphs and charts of equally dubious value. As a consequence, business consultants, have a generalized reputation that lies somewhere between politicians and used car salesmen.
Somewhere along the evolutionary development of the Web entrepreneur a lesson was learned, unfortunately it was the wrong one. Deliverables are good; useless unusable stock solutions, even if wrapped in a nice shiny package, are bad.
How-to videos have become an essential marketing strategy for featuring product knowledge and market expertise with the goal of creating confidence in a company’s ability to deliver what they promise.
Let’s say you are an expert in something. It really doesn’t matter what it is because there is a market for educational and instructional material for just about anything from guitar playing to poker, from makeup application to origami, from drawing lessons to app development.
In today’s fast paced environment tapping into the knowledge deficit is one of the best ways to grow your business. One common business tactic used to exploit how-to opportunities is to provide teaser videos so that people get a taste of what to expect. Anyone interested in learning anything has watched his or her share of teaser videos, but all too often these videos only lead to frustration and a quick click of the mouse onto the next website offering instructions.
I’ve heard many experts fret about giving away too much information without getting paid for it. After all, why would anyone pay if they can get it for free? And here’s where the whole idea of deliverables comes in, but first let’s stop thinking like a consultant and start thinking like a marketing executive. What’s important is not the deliverable but rather the usefulness of the material provided. Let’s call it “the take-away:” the knowledge learned that improves one’s ability to perform and at the same time inspires confidence in your company’s ability to provide worthwhile instruction in the chosen field.
If you’re an expert in a particular area you should be able to giveaway all kinds of tips and tricks that your potential clients can use without running out of ideas or instructional expertise. Providing interested site visitors with a fancy PDF report, PowerPoint slideshow, or series of less-than-helpful teaser videos all obvious attempts to merely sell the real stuff will only turn people off. Commercials should not masquerade as how-to videos.
Web business is not like brick and mortar business. On the Web you are distanced from your audience by the great digital divide that creates a natural reluctance on the part of your visitors. This remoteness is the biggest obstacle you have to overcome because it creates a natural fear of being cheated. And the best way to solve the problem is to offer something of value that demonstrates your reliability and expertise, and inspires confidence in your ability and desire to deliver what you promise.
Even if you intend to provide useful instruction to your website visitors, you can still get it wrong if you don’t understand the four basic elements of giving instructions.
Tell people what you’re going to teach them. This lets them know what the video is about and what they can expect to learn. It also implies what they aren’t going to learn so they won’t be frustrated after watching five minutes of something they’re not interested in seeing.
Provide appropriate instructions so that the audience can actually implement what you are teaching them. Don’t leave out or skip over critical steps because of a fear of giving away too much. These teaser videos don’t have to be a complete course in whatever it is you do, but they should be complete as far as the particular tip or trick you are providing.
The most common mistake made in providing instruction to people is not alerting them to common mistakes. Make people aware of the usual signs that what they are doing is going wrong. This will inspire confidence in your ability to teach and to deliver something that is truly useful. Nothing is more frustrating to a potential client than to think they have followed your instructions and the result is just not right.
Remind your audience what you told them in simple memorable terms so that they feel they’ve actually learned something that they can take-away and implement on their own.
In the final analysis, if your audience doesn’t leave your website with the feeling that they are actually taking away something useful that they can use, then you’ve failed, and you will never get them to order. The bottom line: you have to give something away, if you expect to get something in return.

Keyless entries might be very convenient for some drivers, but it made a $15,000 heist for a thief in Sausalito much easier and more discreet.
On Thursday, a man in Sausalito was able to hack the keyless entry of Sarah Piampiano's Audi parked on Central Avenue and get away with her livelihood. Piampiano is a triathlete, and inside her car was a custom-made, $15,000 bike by Cervelo. "The way he got into the car and got the bike out, he just knew exactly what he was doing," she told ABC 7.
"It is believed he used an unknown type of electronic device or remote to open the car doors electronically," said Sergeant Bill Frass of the Sausalito Police Department. The thief, who was caught in the act on surveillance camera, was able to break into so effortlessly that a neighbor of Piampiano's witnessed the theft happening but assumed he was the owner of the car. In addition to the bike, the thief also made away with a suitcase in her car. "If there's value, do not leave it in your car, take it with you," warned Sgt. Frass.
Piampiano will get a replacement from her sponsor, but she says it's not about the bike, but the principle. "More than anything, I want to be able to catch this guy," she said.
