Jobless rate raises question: How much better can it get?
Unemployment rate down to 4.3 percent: 'I have only just begun,' Trump says
WASHINGTON - A drop in the unemployment rate to a 16-year low raises a tantalizing question about the job market: How much better can it get?
Earlier this year, economists worried that the low unemployment rate meant businesses would struggle to find workers and that would drag down the pace of hiring. Those fears were heightened by a tiny job gain in March and modest hiring in May.
Yet Friday's jobs report suggests such concerns are premature. Employers added 209,000 jobs, after a solid gain of 231,000 in June, the Labor Department said. The unemployment rate ticked down to 4.3 percent, from 4.4 percent, matching the low reached in May.
The U.S. economy is benefiting from steady growth around the world, with Europe and Japan perking up and China's economy stabilizing. Corporate revenue and profits are growing too, and the stock market has hit record highs.
Economists were particularly encouraged by the fact that more Americans are coming off the sidelines and finding jobs. For the first few years after the recession, many of the unemployed stopped looking for work.
Some were discouraged by the lack of available jobs. Others returned to school or stayed home to take care of family. The government doesn't count those out of work as unemployed unless they are actively searching for jobs.
That trend began to reverse last year and has continued into 2017. To many economists, that means robust hiring could continue for many more months, or even years.
"There's more people willing to work than the unemployment rate would have you believe," said Nick Bunker, a senior policy analyst at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, a liberal think tank.
President Donald Trump celebrated the data in a tweet shortly after the numbers were released. "Excellent Jobs Numbers," he wrote, "and I have only just begun."
The pace of hiring so far this year, while solid, is pretty much the same as it was last year under President Barack Obama. Employers have added an average of 184,000 jobs a month through July, compared with 187,000 in 2016. Monthly job gains topped 200,000 on average in 2014 and 2015.
Adding up
The steady hiring is adding up. In July, the proportion of Americans aged 25 through 54 who had a job or were looking for one rose to 81.8 percent, up a half-percentage point from a year earlier and the highest since December 2010.
Economists focus on that age group because it filters out the impact of retirements by the huge baby boomer generation and excludes younger workers who are more likely to be in school.
That means more Americans are optimistic about the job market and launching job searches. But that proportion is still substantially lower than the all-time peak of 84.6 percent, reached in January 1999.
Another peak?
There's no way to know whether that peak could be reached again. Many economists are doubtful, in part because it rose sharply in the 1980s and 1990s as women flooded the workforce. The proportion of women working or looking for work has slipped since 2000.
Based on historical trends, the share of working-age Americans who either have jobs or are looking for one could rise another 0.7 percentage points. That would create 1.8 million more jobs, according to Andrew Sojourner, an economist at the University of Minnesota.
Robert Maynard, CEO of Famous Toastery, a 22-restaurant chain based in Charlotte, N.C., is still looking to hire. He plans to add 10 more restaurants later this year, which should create about 250 full-time jobs.
At the same time, he said, other restaurants are also expanding and some are even peeling away his employees by offering higher pay. He's responded by boosting wages 10 to 15 percent.
"We're fighting to get the best workers," he said.
Restaurants and bars added a massive 53,100 jobs in July, roughly a quarter of all the job gains that month. And restaurant employees are seeing their pay rise faster than other workers.
Average hourly pay in the industry jumped 4.7 percent in June from the previous year, the latest data available.
That compares to just 2.5 percent for all workers. Sluggish wage growth has been a persistent weak spot in the recovery. Wage gains are typically closer to 4 percent a year with the unemployment rate this low.
Some economists think it may be harder to pull many more workers off the sidelines.
A large proportion of those who aren't looking for work say they are disabled or ill. Some research indicates many are addicted to painkillers, noted Jed Kolko, chief economist for Indeed, a job listings website.
"They're the kinds of reasons that might not be overcome with slightly higher wages," Kolko said. "It's really hard to know what it would take to get people who have left the labor force to come back."

Outlaw States Must Reconsider Decision and Sign Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty
First it was President Donald Trump's announcement that the US would withdraw from the Paris climate agreement that drew swift backlash from leaders on the world stage.
Now in a decisive 122-1 vote at the United Nations, a global ban on nuclear weapons has just been approved, a massively important step toward disarmament made somewhat less impactful by all the current nuclear-armed states boycotting the meetings.
This doesn't mean there weren't major powers signing the deal. Brazil was a noteworthy signatory, and both Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia signed on the dotted line, which appears to dramatically reduce the risk of a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. The sole dissenting vote was also the sole NATO member to even attend the meetings, the Netherlands. They have hosted US nuclear arms in the past, and appeared loathe to sign on to a deal that would effectively oblige them to stop such hosting deals.
Generally speaking, close US allies complied with US wishes and boycotted the conference, meaning states like South Korea didn't attend, despite having much to lose in a potential nuclear war. Another conspicuous absentee was Japan, which likely reflects its desire to keep cozy relations with the US, but is likely to be hugely controversial within Japan, the only nation to be a victim of US nuclear attacks in a war.
While the lack of nuclear states signing is disappointing, it doesn't necessarily make the deal worthless, as a similar ban on landmines was spurned by US and other landmine using states, but still led to significant, albeit gradual, policy changes which have brought many of those nations into de facto compliance with the treaty.
By any account, history was just made, and nuclear-armed states, a small group of global outliers, stand on the wrong side of it:
– The treaty marks a historic turning point in the battle to eliminate all weapons of mass destruction. It's the first multilateral nuclear disarmament treaty to be concluded in more than 20 years. The landmark moment comes 72 years after the US atomic-bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The international community's firm determination not to repeat these tragedies is indeed the linchpin of the convention.
– One hundred and twenty-two nations agreed to the final draft text after weeks of negotiations that were not attended by any of the nine nuclear-armed regimes, which include the US, France, UK, and Israel. The outlaw states' boycott of the ban treaty illustrates a denial of common sense and the terrible impacts of these weapons on human lives.
– The treaty is based on International Humanitarian Law and prohibits the development, testing, production, possession, or stockpiling of nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices, the transfer of such weapons, and also bans not only their use but the threat of their use. It calls for states to undertake environmental remediation for areas contaminated by nuclear weapons use or testing, and for states to provide assistance to victims including medical care, rehabilitation, and psychological support, as well as provide for their social and economic inclusion.
– The treaty refutes the claim made by a handful of states that they need nuclear weapons to ensure their own security, and that humanitarian consequences must somehow be balanced with those needs. Not only does the treaty insist that the dangers posed by nuclear weapons "concern the security of all humanity," but it also calls the long-overdue elimination of nuclear weapons "a global public good of the highest order, serving both national and collective security interests."
The world is on the cusp of a truly historic moment. It has declared, unambiguously, for the first time, that nuclear weapons are not only immoral, but also illegal. There should be no doubt that the draft before the world community establishes a clear, categorical ban on the worst weapons of mass destruction.
The outlaw states, chiefly the United States, have ignored reality and not signing the nuclear weapons ban treaty will go down as one of their worst foreign policy blunders in human history. It will also isolate the US further after Trump's shocking decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement.
It's indeed a disappointing and embarrassing day for the United States, which claims to be at the forefront of International Law and International Humanitarian Law. This decision makes zero sense from a global security perspective and the rest of the world will question whether the US can be trusted with all those nuclear warheads and weapons of mass destruction.
Future generations will look back on the US and other outlaw states' decision as one of the worst policy moves made in the 21st century. The world seriously hopes they reconsider this awful decision, this dramatic mistake, this assault and battery on the future of humanity. Not signing the treaty is a reckless and indefensible action. It undermines the outlaw states' standing in the world and threatens to damage humanity's ability to solve the threat of nuclear weapons in time.
But make no mistake: If the United States won't lead, the international civil society will. There can be no excuse for this willful crime, and the rest of world must resolve to continue the fight for a world free from weapons of mass destruction.

Email has become the most preferred form of business communication. Writing good email has become an essential skill required in the industry. Good email writing not only facilitates clear communication, but also makes a positive impression on the recipient, whether it be one's colleague or a customer. The aim of this paper is to demystify the components of a good email and to define a set of parameters by which to grade the quality of an email and provide detailed feedback. This can help candidates improve their email writing skills and also guide tutors. The email grading parameters encompass traditional attributes of written English (i.e. coherent and relevant content and correct grammar) but also include a unique set of characteristics that we may objectively identify as email etiquette. These characteristics comprise the metrics we use to evaluate the quality of the various constituent parts of an email. We grade the email using artificial intelligence, acting on semi-structured text. We use a mix of machine learning and rule-based systems to effectively grade an email on the specified parameters. Our system automatically grades email with accuracy comparable to human graders.
Evaluators wish to test candidates on their ability to propose the correct algorithmic approach to solve programming problems. Recently, several automated systems for grading programs have been proposed, but none of them addresses uncompilable codes. We present the first approach to grade uncompilable codes and provide semantic feedback on them using machine learning. We propose two methods that allow us to derive informative semantic features from programs. One of this approach makes the program compilable by correcting errors, while the other relaxes syntax/grammar rules to help parse uncompilable codes. We compare the relative efficacy of these approaches towards grading. We finally combine them to build an algorithm which rivals the accuracy of experts in grading programs. Additionally, we show that the models learned for compilable codes can be reused for uncompilable codes. We present case studies, where companies are able to hire more efficiently by deploying our technology.
Data-driven decision making is fast becoming a necessary skill in jobs across the board. The industry today uses analytics and machine learning to get useful insights from a wealth of digital information in order to make decisions. With data science becoming an important skill needed in varying degrees of complexity by the workforce of the near future, we felt the need to expose school-goers to its power through a hands-on exercise. We organized a half-day long data science tutorial for kids in grades 5 through 9 (10-15 years old). Our aim was to expose them to the full cycle of a typical supervised learning approach - data collection, data entry, data visualization, feature engineering, model building, model testing and data permissions. We discuss herein the design choices made while developing the dataset, the method and the pedagogy for the tutorial. These choices aimed to maximize student engagement while ensuring minimal pre-requisite knowledge. This was a challenging task given that we limited the pre-requisites for the kids to the knowledge of counting, addition, percentages, comparisons and a basic exposure to operating computers. By designing an exercise with the stated principles, we were able to provide to kids an exciting, hands-on introduction to data science, as confirmed by their experiences. Check them out on www.datasciencekids.org. This tutorial is the first of its kind. We hope that educators across the world are encouraged to introduce data science in their respective curricula for high-schoolers and are able to use the principles laid out in this work to build full-fledged courses.
Motor skills are required in a large number of vocational jobs today. However, no automated means exist to test and provide feedback on these skills. In this paper, we explore the use of touch-screen surfaces and tablet-apps to measure these skills. We design novel gamified apps to predict the performance of candidates in doing manual tasks in the industry. We demonstrate two important results - we use the information captured on a touch-screen device to successfully predict the scores of traditional, non-automated motor skill tests. Further, we show that this information successfully predicts the performance of workers in their respective jobs. The results presented in this work make a strong case for using such automated, touchscreen based apps in job selection and to provide automatic feedback. This is the first attempt at using touch-screen devices to scalably and reliably measure motor skills.
Learning supervised models to grade open-ended responses is an expensive process. A model has to be trained for every prompt/question separately, which in turn requires graded samples. In automatic programming evaluation specifically, the focus of this work, this issue is amplified. The models have to be trained not only for every question but also for every language the question is offered in. Moreover, the availability and time taken by experts to create a labeled set of programs for each question is a major bottleneck in scaling such a system. We address this issue by presenting a method to grade computer programs which requires no labeled samples for grading responses to a new, unseen question. We extend our previous work wherein we introduced a grammar of features to learn question specific models. In this work, we propose a method to transform those features into a set of features that maintain their structural relation with the labels across questions. Using these features we learn one supervised model across questions, which can then be applied to an ungraded response to an unseen question. We show that our method rivals the performance of both, question specific models and the consensus among human experts while substantially outperforming extant ways of evaluating codes. The learning from this work is transferable to other grading tasks such as math question grading and also provides a new variation to the supervised learning approach.
Motor skills are required in a large number of blue collar jobs today. However, no automated means exist to test and provide feedback on these skills. In this paper, we explore the use of touch-screen surfaces and tablet-apps to measure these skills. We design novel app-based gamified-tests to measure one's motor skills. We show this information to strongly predict the job performance of skilled workers in three different occupational roles. The results presented in this work make a strong case for using such automated, touch-screen based tests in job selection and to provide automatic feedback. This is the first attempt at using touch-screen devices to scalably and reliably measure motor skills.
The dataset contains various information about a set of engineering candidates and their employment outcomes. For every candidate, the data contains both the profile information along with their employment outcome information.
This white paper is an outcome of the ASSESS workshop, which was held at KDD 2014. The paper primarily discusses why assessments are important, what is state of art and what goals should we pursue as a community. It is a brief exposition and serves as a starting point for a discussion to set the agenda for the next decade.
Spoken English Grading: Machine Learning with Crowd Intelligence
In this paper, we address the problem of grading spontaneous speech using a combination of machine learning and crowdsourcing. Traditional machine learning techniques solve the stated problem inadequately as automatic speaker-independent speech transcription is inaccurate. The features derived from it are also inaccurate and so is the machine learning model developed for speech evaluation. We propose a framework that combines machine learning with crowdsourcing. This entails identifying human intelligence tasks in the feature derivation step and using crowdsourcing to get them completed. We post the task of speech transcription to a large community of online workers (crowd). We also get spoken English grades from the crowd. We achieve 95% transcription accuracy by combining transcriptions from multiple crowd workers. Speech and prosody features are derived by force aligning the speech samples on these highly accurate transcriptions. Additionally, we derive surface and semantic level features directly from the transcription. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach by predicting expert graded speech sample of 566 adult non-native speakers across two different countries - India and Philippines. Using the regression modeling technique, we are able achieve a Pearson correlation of 0.79 on the Philippines set and 0.74 on the Indian set with expert grades, an accuracy much higher than any previously reported machine learning approach. Our approach has an accuracy that rivals that of expert agreement. We show the value of the system through a case study in a real-world industrial deployment. This work is timely given the huge requirement of spoken English training and assessment.
Learning Models for Personalized Educational Feedback and Job Selection
Every year millions of students enter the job market in search of employment opportunities. Multiple studies show that these students do not have skills commensurate to the job requirements in industry. They have no feedback on their skill gap with respect to jobs in the marker and steps on how to improve. Also, learners have no easy way to signal their employability i.e. their job suitability to corporates thus making the employment market inefficient. There is a need to objectively quantify employability for different job profiles, to enable employability feedback to learners and also facilitate an easy way to connect meritorious students with matching job opportunities. We propose a new class of models to predict employability as a function of test scores. These models satisfy the constraints of the problem space, which are coordinate wise monotonicity, simplicity and human interpretability. Learning these models require non convex optimization. To address the same, we use particle swarm optimization, a population based optimization method, to learn multiple trade off models. Through a case study we show that the modelling approach is useful to predict employability for the software engineering role, does better than extant models in hiring accuracy and provides new insight in what constitutes employability for the software engineering profile in the IT services industry. We believe that our modelling language and technique has the potential to drive greater meritocracy into the job markets.
Automatic Spontaneous Speech Grading: A Novel Feature Derivation Technique using the Crowd
In this paper, we address the problem of evaluating spontaneous speech using a combination of machine learning and crowdsourcing. Machine learning techniques inadequately solve the stated problem because automatic speaker-independent speech transcription is inaccurate. The features derived from it are also inaccurate and so is the machine learning model developed for speech evaluation. To address this, we post the task of speech transcription to a large community of online workers (crowd). We also get spoken English grades from the crowd. We achieve 95% transcription accuracy by combining transcriptions from multiple crowd workers. Speech and prosody features are derived by force aligning the speech samples on these highly accurate transcriptions. Additionally, we derive surface and semantic level features directly from the transcription. To demonstrate the efficacy of our approach we performed experiments on an expert-graded speech sample of 319 adult non-native speakers. Using these features in a regression model, we are able achieve a Pearson correlation of 0.76 with expert grades, an accuracy much higher than any previously reported machine learning approach. Our approach has an accuracy that rivals that of expert agreement. This work is timely given the huge requirement of spoken English training and assessment.
A system to grade computer programming skills using machine learning
The automatic evaluation of computer programs is a nascent area of research with a potential for large-scale impact. Extant program assessment systems score mostly based on the number of test-cases passed, providing no insight into the competency of the programmer. In this paper, we present a system to grade computer programs automatically. In addition to grading a program on its programming practices and complexity, the key kernel of the system is a machine-learning based algorithm which determines closeness of the logic of the given program to a correct program. This algorithm uses a set of highly-informative features, derived from the abstract representations of a given program, that capture the program's functionality. These features are then used to learn a model to grade the programs, which are built against evaluations done by experts. We show that the regression models provide much better grading than the ubiquitous test-case-pass based grading and rivals the grading accuracy of other open-response problems such as essay grading . We also show that our novel features add significant value over and above basic keyword/expression count features. In addition to this, we propose a novel way of posing computer-program grading as a one-class modeling problem and report encouraging preliminary results. We show the value of the system through a case study in a real-world industrial deployment. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first time a system using machine learning has been developed and used for grading programs. The work is timely with regard to the recent boom in Massively Online Open Courseware (MOOCs), which promises to produce a significant amount of hand-graded digitized data.
Principles for using Machine Learning in the Assessment of Open Response Items: Programming Assessment as a Case Study
Questions demanding subjective (open) responses have been considered to be the most desirable assessment format in order to gauge candidate learning. Such questions allow candidates to express creatively and help evaluators to understand a candidate's thought process. The evaluation of such subjective responses, however, has traditionally required human expertise and is challenging to automate. On the other hand, automated assessments provide scalability, standardization and efficiency. Given the recent shift towards online learning and the massive scale of operations, there is a need to develop systems which can combine advantages of both, expert assessors and automated systems. Drawing from attempts made by both, the machine learning community and educational phsychologists, we provide general principles on how any subjective evaluation problem can be cast in the framework of machine learning. These principles highlight the various choices and challenges one would need to consider while devising a machine learning based assessment system. We go on to demonstrate, as a case-study, how a system to assess computer programs has been successfully designed using the principles described.
When predicting performance, less of a bad thing is better than more of a good thing
The success of schools, as well as organizations more generally, depends heavily upon the characteristics of employees at every level. While strong leadership at the administrative level is crucial (Bass, 1985), it is equally important that staff possess a variety of domain-general skills (e.g., communication ability) and domain-specific knowledge. In light of the current conversation in education surrounding the topic of what it means to be career and workforce ready, this presentation will focus on the question of whether the concept of "dark traits" is useful for predicting individuals who will and will not thrive within an organization.
Examining the Structure of Opportunity and Social Mobility in India: Who Becomes an Engineer?
Rising inequality alongside rapid economic growth reinforces the need to examine patterns of social mobility in India. Are children from less well-off sections also able to rise to higher-paying positions, newly created by the growing economy, or are these positions mainly accessible to established elites? Powered in particular by the software industry, no sector has grown as fast as engineering in India. Examining the social origins of students at a range of engineering colleges, including higher- and lower-ranked ones, provides a useful lens for understanding how the new opportunities have availed different social segments. These results provide some grounds for optimism: women, scheduled castes, and sons and daughters of agriculturists have improved upon historical trends. However, the rural–urban divide remains deep: the more rural one is, the lower are one's chances of getting into any engineering college. Multiple simultaneous handicaps — being poor and rural or scheduled caste and rural — reduce these chances to virtually zero. Improving education quality together with better information provision and more accessible career advice are critical for making opportunity more equitable.

Which engineer gets a job?
The engineering degree has emerged in India as one of the most preferred higher education qualifications to get a well paid job leading to a life of dignity. The large demand for the degree has resulted in engineering seats growing by more than 200% in the last 10 years. A number of large companies in the IT space hire from engineering colleges in thousands every year. Other than these, companies in other engineering domains such as mechanical, electrical or electronics and a number of small and medium sized enterprises hire fresh engineers in reasonably large numbers.

If I read my notation correctly, the item about global warming caught my attention on November 12, 2001. It read: Sea level has risen 12-20 inches along Maine's coast…during the past 250 years, a researcher said. It's the biggest rise in the past millennium and global warming is to blame, Roland Gehrels of the University of Plymouth in England said. This little ditty was published in the Across the USA column in the USA Today.
Although I normally try to evaluate the different arguments surrounding the issue of "global warming," that wasn't what caught my attention as I read this item.
I'm writing a historic romance novel set on Frenchman Bay, Maine. Through my readings on global warming I was aware of, but had no concrete data on, increasing sea levels. Even so, I'd wondered what effect the increase would have on my novel, which has numerous scenes on Lamoine Beach, (to read the rest of this story, click on (link to come…)

Living documentation including Documentation as Code and Architecture as Code
Delivery time: 3 days
Gigs Completed: 0Buy gig (Ξ 0.556)
From simple projects to those consisting of hundreds of modules, both OSGi and non-OSGi, I can help with:
• Architecture as code
• Documentation as code
• REST API Documentation–any JAX RS implementation, static, build time or runtime generation
Understanding software must include its surroundings–architecture, dependencies, knowing how to deploy, common issues, etc. These must reflect the latest changes applied, therefore manually produced documentation is usually out of question, because, quite simply, it goes stale too fast and hinders instead of helping.
Answer to this is living documentation–meaning, both documentation and architecture versioned and stored just like code and automatically generated whenever latest changes must be reflected. One can go even further and treat source code as the single point of truth and with proper tooling automatically generate from source code multiple architectural views, representing different levels of abstraction. If your product exposes a REST API, same approach can be applied to obtain an up to date API documentation.
Price and delivery time depends on scope – contact before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: What exactly would be next steps after I get in touch for quote with my requirements?
A: I will ask any clarifying questions necessary, then create a custom proposal for you, and once you place your order, I will perform any necessary engineering work to deliver the final solution.
Q: What if I do not have exact requirements yet?
A: I will create a mini-proposal for 1-2 consulting sessions, during which I will work with you to clearly understand your needs, as well as your existing product or service, and scope the project. Output from this will be requirements for implementation phase, to be treated as a separate project.

March 10, 2019. Shanghai – The 2019 CEIBS MBA Healthcare Investment Forum took place today with a full house at the CEIBS Petrochemical Auditorium on the Shanghai Campus. The event was jointly sponsored by the MBA Healthcare Club and the Finance & Investment Club and attracted a professional crowd of over 300 attendees, with 10 industry speakers sharing valuable insights during the 6 hour event.
Dr. John Cai, Director of the CEIBS Centre for Healthcare Management and Policy, presented the opening speech at the forum. Dr. Cai shared his views on the healthcare industry and depicted how key drivers including an aging population will contribute to excellent industry growth prospects by 2022. In addition to the opportunities, he also pointed out some potential challenges to be overcome, such as sub-standard doctor qualifications, the inverted pyramid structure of hospital organisations, and lastly capturing the right innovation and investment moments.
The first topic, Entrepreneurship in Different Domains, was presented by the founder of Orange Dental, Zhaojun Gao. Gao shared his entrepreneurial journey taking Orange from an initial failure to an eventual success. Orange focused on the somewhat neglected children's dental segment in public hospitals. Turning a typical clinic into a playground, young guests find attending the Orange clinic a fun experience where things are under their control. Gao noted that discovering industry pain points is the key to start ups. Even without powerful marketing and operational teams, the success rate is greatly increased when operating in the right domain with one player only.
The second speaker was Mr. Olivier d'Arros, the China representative of Robocath. His topic was Innovations in Robotics in the Cardiovascular Field. Robocath provides direct robot solutions for vascular surgeries, assisting surgeons by enhancing precision and providing more stable treatment for patients. Olivier shared the development and prospects of surgery robots. According to research, 72% patients found robot assisted operations were more efficient and convenient, 93% doctors agreed that the new technology improved the safety of intrusive treatments and hospitals have increased their capacity by 29% after utilising robots. This is only the start of robotics in healthcare. Robocath highly values the Chinese market and is currently seeking partners with common interest.
The third topic of the day was Healthcare Companies' M&A and Investment Strategies presented by the Investment Principle from Medtronic China Venture, Dr. Hu Ye. Dr. Ye reviewed the company's mission and history to show how Medtronic developed itself from a garage-based medical device repair shop into the world's largest medical device company. Medtronic serves a highly prioritised Chinese market utilising various global resources. The company launched its China venture fund to invest in local innovation in 2016 and is expecting to launch its Shanghai-based Medical Innovation Accelerator later this month.
The fourth guest speaker was Tianjiao Jiang, Director of Healthcare Sector in Industrial Finance Department at Founder Securities. His topic was Avoid the Trap of Medical Investment and M&A from Macro and Micro Perspective. Healthcare M&As are recent investment hotspots, however, investors need to value the target companies' future growth with care since many companies are more inclined to seek IPOs rather than to exit via acquisition. Jiang summarised common investment mistakes as macro directional errors, timing errors under correct directions, and selection errors on a micro scale. Based on glucometer, medical cosmetology, and artificial knee replacement cases, Jiang shared his insights on estimation errors of penetration rates and limitations in focus areas.
The fifth speaker John Wang, Executive Partner of GTJA Investment, who spoke on the topic of the Current Situation and Trends of Healthcare Investment in China. Wang discussed the recent changes in policy making and financing in the healthcare industry. Policy-wise, he explained, the key drivers have turned from domestic industry protection to providing higher value treatments. Finance-wise, although the hot topic in 2018, many healthcare IPOs occur in the medicine segment. Furthermore, he said he expects to see another round of M&As of listed companies in the future. Wang noted that strategical and VC/PE investors have very different timeline focus and that, consequently, strategic thinking is more important than tactical moves for M&As.
Eason Kwok, VP of Haoyue Capital, was the seventh speaker of the day. He shared his views on The Replicability and Endogenous Growth Logic of the Medical Service Industry. In his presentation, he noted that the China healthcare service industry has passed important milestones driven by government policy. Examples include the rapid expansion of public hospitals after 1985, the influence on medical payments by the public medical insurance scheme in 1997, the promotion of privately owned hospitals in 2009, and the fee schedule scheme from 2012. Additionally, Kwok pointed out that healthcare is a demanding industry, that there is a severe supply shortage problem in our domestic market, that value chain consolidation is more about people than technology, and that the technology and business model innovation in healthcare service segment is also of significant importance.
Dr. Harry Chen, VP of Investment from Zhen Fund, presented the seventh talk on the topic How to Evaluate a Healthcare Investment Opportunity. Dr. Chen started with a background introduction of the drug R&D process from which he emphasised the importance of assessing the potential to meet the underlying demand and relevant validation when evaluating investments. On an investment note, Dr. Chen said he values a good target company with entrepreneurship, experience in the industry, and matching talents for each stage of growth. Finally, he argued that new medicines should be developed to service humans, rather than to seek profit, but that profit follows when patients are well serviced.
Vivian Han, VP of Pingan Ventures was the eighth speaker of the day. Her topic was the Qualification of Professional Healthcare Investors and Career Development Paths. Healthcare investments, Han said, are rewarded with generous long term returns rather than short term arbitrage profit. Consequently, patience and empathy – along with devotion and commitment – are essential for professionals in this highly specialised industry. As a result, investment professionals will be cultivating the sharpness to understand and invest, to coordinate and exit successfully with aligned vision and resistance to turbulence.
The last presenter of the day, Dr. Cathy Fang, VP of Yitu Healthcare, gave a speech on The Future of AI Lies in Healthcare. She said that AI is key to healthcare's big data, that only AI-processed and knowledge-mapped data can be used to help diagnosis assistance applications, and that only treated data can add value. Dr. Fang also shared the application and future of the cutting-edge medical AI technology by introducing Yitu's pulmonary nodule solution.
The co-hosted event was an eye opener for CEIBS students as a communication platform that crossed both healthcare and investment industries. The atmosphere also continued in post-event online discussion groups and further extended beyond the conclusion of the event.

Helix update 2.11 causing helix to hang (worse than 2.10)Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I'm on a patch and then change to another patch and the unit hangs. The sound still works but all of the buttons are inoperable and the helix control floor unit does nothing. I had the same problem in 2.10 but now it's worse. Not Going to take this thing live with this kind of stuff happening. I had heard that Pete Thorn went back to his pedal board setup alone without the Helix. I wonder if it was because of little issues like this. Anyone else experiencing the same problems?
Checking the current firmware version
Foggy1 posted a topic in M5 / M9 / M13Hello--just purchased a M13 and i am just in the try out stage to see if i want to keep it or not. -is there a way to check what the current firmware version that is installed?-i don't want to go out and buy a MIDI computer interface if it is not necessary. Thank you
Hi All, New to the forum. I have had my Amp setup for 3 years now. I bought a new (secondhand) guitar that has renewed my enthusiasm to pick up a guitar again. It seems though there are other plans afoot! I jumped online to see if there were any updates for the pedal and amp and sure enough there is! First thing I did was renew my password to login (as I forgot). Then I made sure I downloaded Line 6 sotware: Licence manager, Monkey, FBV controller & Spider Edit to my Macbook Pro. So I had everything powered off. I plugged in my Cat cable to the Amp & Pedal. I plugged in the USB between the Mac & Pedal. Turned amp on and powered laptop and logged into Monkey. Monkey found the devices and found the updates required so I downloaded those. Then right at the end of the update it came back with an error message about making sure cables are connected. (which they obviously were as everything was initially talking to each other) Then the amps display said 'Downloading'. So I thought it must have gone through. It said downloading for over an hour so I thought, these are only midi files, they ain't that big! So I tried to reinstall and then it said in the on screen software under Device Firmware, 'Unknown'. I restarted everything again but when I switched the amp back on it still came up with 'Downloading' It was at this point that I knew something had gone wrong for sure. I did a hard reset and cycled the pwr. Nothing. I searched the forums and found the factory reset. I have done that and now all the amp says is 'Ready to Install'. (which I tried but just get error messages about the firmware) If anyone knows a fix for this please please respond. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, your my only hope!
Does anyone know if there is an archive anywhere of all the previous firmware updates, including the original factory firmware for the Helix? Also, I'm guessing it is necessary to pre-install whatever Helix editor goes along with the respective firmware, so is there also an archive of all previous versions of the Helix editor? Thanks in advance for any help.
"Flipping" footswitch functions...?A "what if" question for Line 6 and other Firehawk users: I am happy with Firehawk FX, but I wish one thing was different - I switch effects on and off more frequently than I change patches. Stepping over the patch change buttons to hit delay or overdrive on/off, I frequently miss and hit the patch change buttons below them. Would it be an easy software/firmware fix to give us the option to "flip" the functions of the 2 footswitch rows? Since everything is digital, it would seem feasible, but I was just curious to see if anyone else would be interested in that option...
Firmware 1.20
Skitterhawk posted a topic in FirehawkLag time much better. Actually usable. Still getting a little noise on patch chances but has been lowered and might work for my next gig. THANK YOU... I'm gigging tomorrow night and this couldn't have come at a better time. Well maybe a few weeks ago would have been better. Ha...

I took it to the support and they replaced with a new one, but the problem is that it's not working. When I enter in the configuration, it is written on the information: USB FW: V0.00. I think the problem is this, but I don't have any idea how I can update the usb firmware. Anyone could help-me?

What's Happening With The M20D?
StuMur posted a topic in StageScape Mixer / StageSource SpeakersIt's been 3 years now... Is anything at all happening with the M20D? Any firmware updates planned.. any new patches being developed.. anything that resembles development, evolution, or even interest of any type?

firmware 2.62 sync issuesSince updating my Pod Pro HD with firmware 2.62, it will seize up in sync mode after a minute or two of editing with the latest and previous versions of HD Edit software. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Firmware 2.0 and last nights performaceExcellent report. Last night the Helix with FW 2.0 knocked it out of the park. Great tone, many compliments (including my wife who is very critical ... which I actually admire and enjoy), and great band mix. Using the Global EQ, setting the output to max letting the mixer channel control signal, and just playing was very easy and extremely enjoyable. I didn't get to the snapshots of any of my presets during the 4 hour show so at this point the Z value was not addressed nor did it in any way detract my tone from FH. Thought maybe someone would like to get a report on this. That's my story and ... Dennis
NEW MODE: beyond PRESET and STOMP modesHi All, I am writing you to propose the creation of a new footswitch mode which I believe would be very useful, especially for rehearsal or gigs. I usually use just a few presets (around 8), each including a few "direct access switches†such as volume boost on/off, modulation on/off that I often use. In order to do this I need to run my mighty Helix in STOMP footswitch mode. Unfortunately, this means that I have to step on BANK UP or DOWN every time I have to change the preset, in order to temporarily enter PRESET mode. This is not very comfortable as I have to always stomp two times to select a new preset. My proposal is to create a new mode, "MIX MODEâ€, where · FS2, FS3, FS4 and FS5: correspond to FS2, FS3, FS4 and FS5 footswitch of the STOMP MODE, · FS8, FS9, FS10 and FS11: correspond to FS8, FS9, FS10 and FS11 of the PRESET mode. This will allow the player to easily: 1. recall a new preset, by simply stomping on FS8, FS9, FS10 and FS11 (just one stomp) 2. activate/deactivate the preset's FS2, FS3, FS4 and FS5 direct access switches using FS2, FS3, FS4 and FS5 (just one stomp) 3. Scroll through the banks by using FS1 and FS7 (just one stomp) This behavior would be similar to traditional MIDI controllers, such as MARK-L FX 25 ACE: it has a row of footswitches to recall presets and another one for direct access switches. What do you think of this idea?
Update your firmware!
HonestOpinion posted a topic in HelixAt the risk of sounding didactic I would say to all Helix users out there: Update your Helix to the latest firmware!!!!! I see a lot of posts from users with issues or questions who are still on older versions of the firmware. Do yourself a favor, go out and download the latest version of the Helix App installer and update your Helix. This should be the first thing you do upon receiving your Helix after perhaps a basic functionality check. It gives you all of the latest models, effects, presets, bugfixes, and enables you to use the latest version of the editor. It puts us all on the same playing field for making recommendations on how to get the best sound as well as identifying bugs. It will save you hours or days troubleshooting issues that have been fixed or trying to figure out why a preset you made in an early firmware version will not load properly. I know some folks have found it challenging on certain versions of Mac OS or with certain USB hardware but I encourage you to find someone with a computer that enables you to get on the latest firmware version, and the bonus is the additional features that have been added along the way. I know for many I am stating the obvious with a profound sense of discovery but if you haven't upgraded to the latest firmware yet, you are missing out and causing yourself needless headaches.

Helix patch backup, HELP!
steveheroan posted a topic in HelixHad Helix a while now, but I purchased it right after 1.06.5 came out. Back then I received the unit, then updated the firmware, THEN started playing. I have the patience of a saint, lol. The problem is that back then I didn't have to worry about backing anything up, UNTIL NOW, and I'm terrified that I'm going to do something wrong and lose all my hard work. Today I did "export bundle" to a folder on my computer, then downloaded and installed all the newest software from Line 6 (1.10 firmware, 1.10 application, 1.78 driver (bug fix for Windows 7), 1.08 updater, and 1.11 application) per the instructions. I then did the "hold down footsitches 5&6 at power-on" thing, which evidently doesn't affect your current patches, setlists, or IR's. What does this procedure (the 5&6 footswitch thing) even do? After that, I (stupidly) proceeded to work on some patches for ergonomic reason (basically just moving some footswitches around and relabeling a few) and also reset my global eq to my liking. I assume at this point that the changes I just made were for nothing if I do the "hold down footswithes 7&8 at power-on" thing, in order to get the new factory presets that I don't have yet. Losing my most recent changes is not a huge deal, since I can easily redo them in a few minutes, but I'm terrified of not importing my bundle correctly. What is the procedure for this? Was export bundle even the right thing to do? How do you backup IR's? I did overwrite an existing bundle from when I first got the unit, cause I hadn't really created anything yet and was just curious as to what would happen, what the file name would be, etc., so I think I'm ok there. I just don't want to lose my patches that I have been tweaking for the past couple of months. Hope this all makes sense, and I'm so sorry to burden you tech-savvy gents with my meatheadedness. HELP!!!!
POD HD 500 Firmware version
CarlosIssacRC posted a topic in POD HDHey there! I have a Line 6 POD HD 500. I've been trying to connect it to my PC to record and edit and all those things. The problem's that the PC does not recognize the POD. I've already downloaded hundreds of support files and installed them and there's no response. So, as I went to the POD to the "System and I/O" screen, is shown that the "USB Firmware version is 0.00!" Is there anything I might do to solve this? I've tried with monkey and donwnloaded drivers but the POD is just not recognized. Thanks!
Firmware with New UnitCrazy question. I purchased a new POD HD500X from GC Sunday as in 5 days ago Feb 2016. When I first installed the necessary software from Line 6 (Monkey, Edit, drivers, etc.) and successfully connected my unit the screen in Line 6 Monkey said the firmware was version 1.00 - not 0.00 as if it didn't see it. So question, when did firmware 1.00 get released and did I really purchase a new unit or was it some old stock, in the back under the stairwell, waiting to see the light of day release? It did update to version 2.62.00. I had the same thing happen in Jan. 2010 when I purchased my first M13 and, due to many issues I discovered in the first 10 days) it had to be sent to Line 6 three weeks later at which time Line 6 (thank you Tony) sent me a brand new doubly inspected unit just out of production. So, back to firmware version. Anyone have an answer as to what firmware you had if and when you purchased a new HD500X in the past three months (Dec 2015 to Feb 2016)? Thanks, Dennis
As long as firmware updates involve doing global resets (9&10 footswitch reboot) which also clears out the IRs I have found I am presented with a bit of a problem. I export all my IRs at one time in a mass export before a firmware update to a fresh directory with nothing else in it, but when I use the Helix App and return to that directory to import them, they are stored in alphabetical order in the save directory in Windows. This means that when you go to do a mass import to reload them into the Helix after a global reset they appear by default in the import window in alphabetical order. This probably is not the order the IRs were loaded on your Helix. If you import them this way (alphabetical order) they will probably no longer correspond to the IRs you set up in your presets. This means your custom presets come up with the wrong IR loaded. The way to deal with this is when you open the IR import browse window in the Helix App, sort the IRs on date. Then select them all. This will allow you to import them all at one time in the same order you exported them (even though Windows may not display the time in milliseconds in the browse window, each successive IR saved in a mass export actually has a slightly later timestamp and Windows can sort on it). Perhaps other folks have a better solution but this one is working well for me. It would be great to have an "Export Setlist" in the IR section of the Helix App so this workaround wasn't necessary. However this method seems to work pretty well when you are dealing with a lot of IRs and don't want to have to re-import them one by one, and you also want them to go back into the same IR "slot"/position on the Helix that you exported from. Note: If the Helix app import browse window is not showing "Date" as one of the columns (this is the column you need to sort on), you can do the following. Right click on the directory with your IRs, choose "Properties", select the "Customize" tab, and then select "Documents" in the "Optimize this folder for" pulldown menu. This is the process for Windows 10, it should be similar in earlier Windows versions or even on the Mac.
What is the typical software release cycle for Helix?
jshimkoski posted a topic in HelixI have two quick questions: 1. Is there a typical firmware/software release schedule for Helix? 2. Is there a mailing list that we can sign up for that will let us know when a new software update is available? Thanks!

Helix Firmware v1.06.0 Available
klangmaler posted a topic in Helixhttp://line6.com/software/index.html ...plus the Helix 1.03 application... I added this, because still no announcement right here ;)
So i bought this pod pro off a mate and it never worked while i've had it, today i was trying to get it working. It turns up and if it's plugged in to the USB it is recognized by my PC, however the screen doesn't show any data (see attached). i can't get any signal from m guitar either. if you can help me distinguish if its a firmware or software problem that would be great! and any suggestions for a fix would be fantastic.
HD 500 stuck on driver 22.214.171.124
mtreehugger posted a topic in POD HDI have tried and re-tried but can't seem to get this done. My laptop runs win7. I've got Monkey at 1.71, updated the USB firmware to 1.04, re-booted both POD and laptop ad nauseum, even turned off my Norton... but whenever Monkey tries to update the FW, it thinks it's successful yet shows the driver at 22.214.171.124. My goal is to get my hd500 from 2.32 to 2.62, but I don't want to even attempt this if I can't even get the drivers to update. Anybody got any ideas? Also, when updating the POD Flash Memory, am I supposed to hold down a nav button and power it on somewhere in the process? THANKS (in advance)!
I loaded my custom presets from a Helix app v.1.02 backup, not a v.1.01 backup after yesterday's firmware upgrade to 1.04.1. Although the Release Notes for the new firmware specify the new version of the Helix app for the restore, they do not specify which version of the Helix app to do the backup with so I am not sure if this was ok. Could someone at Line6 please chime in and let me know if it was ok to restore my custom presets from a Helix app v.1.02 backup after the 1.04.2 firmware update . I would prefer not to spend days, weeks, tweaking my presets only to find out that something subtle went wrong with my restored custom presets because I was supposed to have reloaded them from a v.1.01 backup. Before I bother doing any more customizing of presets I need to know if I am going to have to reload them from the backup made by an earlier version of the Helix app. I really need this question answered to proceed happily down the upgrade road with my Helix. I have asked this question several times in several ways elsewhere, but alas, no response. I could open a trouble ticket but I think this detail would benefit everyone who is doing the update. So, what does a brother need to do to get a little help here? I know you guys are busy and I never expect a response directly from Line6 but you just issued a firmware update and inquiring minds want to know. Is a backup from either version of the Helix app ok as long as we use v.1.02 to do the restore, or, do we need a backup from a specific version of the Helix app? This detail could potentially impact many users. Please add some clarity here. Thanks!
Hey guys, I'm about to update my DT 50 212 soon, so I've been reading this old thread (and others): http://line6.com/supportarchivenew/thread/89020/ Just wanted to check if I can do this update from my USB/MIDI keyboard controller (an AKAI MPK 61). It has both MIDI In and MIDI Out ports. Does anyone know if that would work? Or should I get a dedicated interface for this (something like that M-Audio Uno one)? If the keyboard works (hooked up to the computer via USB), then I'm assuming I'll need 2 MIDI cables connecting: DT 50 MIDI In -> AKAI Midi Out DT 50 MIDI Out -> AKAI MIDI In. Is that correct? Has anyone succeeded performing the firmware update from a keyboard controller before? I'm always afraid of doing these firmware updates on my Line 6 gear... I can't afford to "brick" my amp., since I'm very far from any Line 6 service center. Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
