The document provides tips for creating an effective PowerPoint presentation, including keeping the presentation timed appropriately depending on its length, choosing impressive templates that fit the topic, using clear fonts and formatting, incorporating relevant pictures and videos to engage the audience, and rehearsing to control timing and flow. Key aspects are arranging the agenda to focus on one to two main points if under 10 minutes, understanding the audience if 20-30 minutes, and including interactions if over 40 minutes. Pictures are emphasized as more impactful than words or tables.
The idea was conceived in 1988, but was a little prematurely launched when the nation was not ready for gearing up to the onslaught of competition. The concept found a footing in the early 21st Century.

It encourages effective use of social media by political parties and leaders.
- The document provides information on calculating the U-value of building constructions.
- It gives an example calculation of the U-value for a brick wall with plaster finishes.
- Another example calculates the U-value of a concrete roof with asphalt, plasterboard and glass fiber quilt layers.
- Standard resistance values are provided for internal and external boundary air layers, cavities, and other common building materials.
Esta presentación fue realizada para introducir a grupos de varias edades en la técnica del autorretrato. Posteriormente realizamos una actividad estudiando la proporciones de su rostro y realizando su propio autorretrato. El resultado lo colgaré próximamente en mi blog el cual está todavía en proceso de construcción. Obviamente la actividad fue impartida en inglés.
I made this presentation in order to draw my lovely kids into the Self-portrait along the Art History. Then we worked with the proportions and features of each one face. The result was very interesting and I'll show you soon in my blog. The activity was made in English. I'm still studing and improvering my English, I'm sorry if you find some mistakes.
1) IAG is shifting away from traditional business models to adopt start-up principles like rapid experimentation and prototyping to improve customer experience.
2) IAG has created "Labs" to focus on technology disruption, new products, and leveraging agile and lean start-up approaches to rapidly test hypotheses.
3) IAG aims to focus on customer experience by understanding customer needs and enabling more self-service options while also improving experiences for internal customers like employees.
The document discusses an organization's model for winning the "war for talent" called the PERCON Model. It outlines the background and theoretical understanding of competitive advantage and retaining quality employees. It then describes the challenges faced in implementing Western concepts in local organizations, including resistance to change. This prompted PERCON to develop a process starting with crystallizing an organization's vision and identifying its value system to align culture and talent practices. The goal is to transform organizations and gain a sustainable competitive advantage through the right people approaches.
Perceptiveness the other attribute a transformational leader should possessDhruva Trivedy

Over the years research has been continuing as to what could be the best leadership style. Irrespective of what style the leader adapts, a successful leader always needs three essential attributes, Perceptiveness, Empathy and Direction (Vision)!! Plenty of research has been conducted on other attributes and there is enough material available on them, but none has contributed in this area except David McClelland and Dr. Udai Pareek to a certain extent. This interview is based on personal experiences and not on any empirically documented research. Students of behavioural psychology and even management may find this as an unexplored area for their research projects and may therefore start on a 'greenfield' research project.

Clinical Social Works Contribution To A Social Justice PerspectiveJacky Tsai
?
Clinical social work can contribute to a social justice perspective in several ways:
1) By understanding clients in the context of their strengths, social positions, and power relationships rather than pathologizing them.
2) By developing techniques to help clients understand themselves in oppressive social relationships and empowering them to overcome oppression.
3) By engaging in self-reflection about one's own experiences of both oppression and privilege. Clinicians can work with privileged clients to motivate changing oppressive behaviors.
4) By developing anti-oppressive structures in agencies and programs that provide psychological and social resources to reduce deprivation according to principles of distributive justice.
The document provides guidance on using paragraphs effectively in writing. It defines a paragraph as a section of writing that is focused on one topic, time, place, or person. The document then gives examples of when a new paragraph should start, such as when switching between these elements or introducing a new speaker. It encourages organizing writing into clear paragraphs to help guide the reader through changes in the topic.
A short travel through Winter in Art. I show this Power Point presentation before doing activities about the subject. Watercolours, drawing and acrylic.
Un breve viaje a través del Invierno en el Arte. Normalmente vemos esta presentación y comentamos cada uno de los cuadros antes de realizar actividades artísticas relacionadas con el tema.
The document discusses calculating wall-to-floor ratios for two building designs, Buildings A and B. It provides the dimensions and calculations for Building A, which has a wall-to-floor ratio of 0.20. For Building B, it lists the dimensions and calculations but leaves the number of floors, total floor and wall areas, total costs, and final ratio as values for the student to calculate. The student is asked to complete the calculations for Building B and submit their worksheet.
Social media has played a major role in politics over the past few decades. Politicians and political parties have increasingly used platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ for campaigning and sharing their messages. While Indians used to represent 20% of Orkut users globally, the population has since transitioned more to Facebook. Political parties in India mainly use social media for election campaigns and communicating their agendas. However, the document raises questions about whether political parties can better structure and strategize their social media approach to target younger voters throughout the election cycle rather than just during campaigns. It suggests parties need introspection on engaging youth and promoting their long-term vision online.
The document discusses different types of alternative fuel vehicles:
- Electric cars, which use batteries charged by plugging into the electrical grid, have no emissions but long charging times. Solar powered cars could charge from the sun but are not yet practical.
- Natural gas cars can use compressed natural gas instead of gasoline, reducing emissions but requiring new fueling infrastructure that is not widely available.
- Hybrid cars combine a gas engine with electric motors and batteries to improve fuel efficiency, but are currently more expensive than regular cars.
- The Toyota Prius is a popular hybrid model, and a future version may achieve over 100 miles per gallon. Solar powered and electric vehicles may be more practical future options as technology advances.
The document discusses tendering processes for construction projects. It defines tendering as sending drawings and bills of quantities to contractors to receive price estimates. The purpose of tendering is to select a main contractor. Different procurement methods are described such as traditional where the client separately selects a designer and contractor, or design-build where one company handles both. Factors like project size and economic climate affect the tendering method choice. Students are tasked to discuss tendering purposes and objectives, and select a method for a given project by considering build type.
