Cinnamon sugar is swirled through this tender loaf as it is shaped. After the first rising, the raisins are kneaded into the dough. I love this bread warm from the oven, but after a day or two, it toasts beautifully. My method, which mixes the dry ingredients, including the yeast, before adding the warm liquid, saves preparation time.
Place 1 cup flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a bowl of a heavy-duty mixer.
Heat water, milk and shortening in a small saucepan to 120 to 130°F (49 to 54°C). It will feel hot on you wrist. Add mixture to mixer bowl and beat on Medium speed 2 minutes. Beat in egg. Stir in enough additional flour to make a soft dough.
To knead by hand, place dough on a well-floured surface and shape it roughly into a ball. Place your fingers on top, curled slightly over the ball, and pull the dough toward you. Then push dough away, using the palms of your hands. Turn dough ¼ turn and repeat.
When you begin kneading, the dough will be sticky. Add flour a little at a time. As you knead, keep your fingers together and use the palms of your hands. Knead dough 8 to 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. You should not use more than 3¼ cups (393 g) of flour, total.
To judge whether the dough has been sufficiently kneaded, place it on the work surface, pull both ends gently, and release. The dough should be elastic and spring back. The dough should also be smooth and have little blisters of air that you can see under the surface.
Shape dough into a ball by pulling sides underneath to form a smooth top. Place it, top side down, in an oiled bowl. Turn the dough right side up, thus coating it with a little oil. Cover loosely with plastic wrap.
Let dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled. When it has doubled in size, the imprint will remain when you poke two fingers into it. Punch dough down and place it on a lightly floured surface. Knead in the raisins. Cover and let dough rest a few minutes to relax the gluten.
To Make the Filling:
Grease a 9 x 5-inch (22.5 x 12.5-cm) loaf pan. Roll the dough to a 16 x 8-inch (40 x 20-cm) rectangle. Brush with melted butter. Combine the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over dough. Starting with the short end roll the dough up tightly. (If dough isn't rolled tightly there will be a hold in the middle of the bread.) Pinch ends and seam and place seam side down in the pan.
Let dough rise again for about 30 minutes or until doubled. Test by pressing dough lightly. If your finger leaves only a slight imprint the dough is ready.
Heat oven to 357°F (190°C) with oven rack in lower third. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until deep golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when thumped. Using an instant-read thermometer, measure temperature in center of loaf. It should read 190°F (88°C) or higher.
Remove loaf from pan by loosening around side and lifting from the bottom. Cool on wire cooling rack. You must let loaf cool slightly before slicing.
Baker's Notes: Because the yeast is mixed with the flour before the liquid is added, the liquid can be heated to a higher temperature. This method helps the dough rise faster.
Try using dried cranberries instead of raisins. They add a touch of crimson and a tangy sweetness.
Secret to Success: Roll the dough tightly to avoid a hold in the middle of the loaf.
Nutritional informational is based on 9 servings, and using 3 cups of sugar.

There have been some rumblings recently in Silicon Alley that the city could use more diversity in its tech sector. About two thirds of venture dollars in New York flow into web and software plays. But right under our noses, some crazy cool science is going on. Like this molecular polyhedron, recently created by NYU chemist, whose unique shape might allow it trap other molecular species, which would mean we could use it to create some new materials, materials that might…actually we have no idea what they might do.

pennystocks4509.com How Home-Based Business Entrep (go back »)
October 20 2012, 6:12 AM
Too numerous people today are attempting to begin their home companies with an standard employee's way of thinking. This has turn out to be a prevalent reason why not extended soon after sitting down and giving it a honest glance into even the most worthwhile organization chance they bump into, they set it absent and come to a decision not to just take any odds.
What has occurred here is that the most worthwhile small business opportunity has been looked into by an ordinary nine-to-5-worker, who appears NOT to be small business-minded.
If you are like most individuals, you have possibly thought to be starting your possess organization yourself. But higher than all, you have to realize that to make into a productive Business Entrepreneur, 1 has to adjust their way of contemplating initial.
1. DO NOT Anticipate Quick Funds!
In addition to gambling or profitable a lottery, operating as an worker is the only way to get 'fast' funds... 'fast' as in 'in-25-functioning-days'. This type of money is usually particular to arrive in as long as you operate from 9 to five for your boss. But as you almost certainly presently know it, as soon as you end, the income stops. (See FinancialFreedomAwaits.com).
True entrepreneurship-minded individuals know that it will take time to create pennystocks4509.com an 'attack plan' for their firms. It normally requires time to build a strong and sound organization, which delivers ongoing revenue via many several years.
Accurate Business Entrepreneurs maintain on to this fact, "We reap what we sow, but the harvest is under no circumstances in the same period as the planting."
Adjust your way of thinking
DO NOT Assume Quickly Money!
2. Aim FOR Occupation Safety OR Financial Security?
Workers would relatively have work-safety. Why? Simple the revenue is protected. As prolonged as you loyally get the job done from 9 to 5, you will for specific get your income! The issue with a typical career is that when you cease, the cash stops.
The stark simple fact is one particular day you may well get ill and won't be capable to go back to perform. Quicker or afterwards you will retire. Corporations get broke and have to launch their staff members. No make a difference what the situation, as shortly as you quit operating, the money will end coming.
So a lot for safe revenue...!
A work with secure source of income is crucial for people who has not set up their personal enterprise still. Real. But a true Organization Entrepreneur will not settle simply for occupation-security. He aims penny stocks for much a lot more, such as economic security. No, he will not likely have rapidly income. And no, he is not going to have any safe earnings still - at least not in the beginning. And usually, he would not have any income at all from his new organization for the 1st few months.
Enterprise business owners think of the major photograph. What they do is creating property from which his funds will arrive in month right after month, 12 months after 12 months from perform he is performing now! The income will not come now. It may not even come for the following several months. But as shortly as his company is up and working, it will maintain making revenue for him, even when he chooses to halt working!
And THAT is financial stability!
Transform your way of contemplating
Think OF THE Major Image Intention FOR Economic Stability!
three. Crank out Inactive Revenue
Fiscal freedom is not measured by how a lot money you get paid by working, but how substantially funds will come in with only small or no function at all. This later form of source of income is referred to as passive income. This truth has been acknowledged for many years by real rich people today.
Effective and affluent business owners do only tiny perform and penny stocks often it is even attainable to do the work only after but still create recurring earnings on it. Envision a song or a e book author. They produce their songs or guides once but get paid permanently on it. This do-it-as soon as-get-compensated-eternally type of revenue is called residual source of income.
Most individuals who have attained monetary freedom have other men and women functioning to make source of income for them. Earning income by other people's hard work is named leveraged income.
As tough as it could appear, to develop leveraged earnings, you need to have to have your very own small business exactly where other individuals perform to produce income for you. Any enterprise. No matter if it is a classic organization, franchise, modest enterprise, internet dependent or residence dependent.
Workers get the job done to produce protected revenue. Enterprise Business owners operate to make belongings with earnings streams which generates for him ongoing passive revenue (both residual or leverage source of income or both equally). In other words Organization Business people perform to create himself -what I would contact- a 'money-machine' which is intended to create ongoing cash flow.
While the Worker can not halt working since otherwise he will get rid of his source of income, the Company Entrepreneur will have income coming in continually, even when he chooses not to perform, optionstrading1982.com simply since it is his assets that crank out residual and leverage earnings for him.
Alter your way of pondering
Tap INTO Inactive Revenue BY Creating RESIDUAL & LEVERAGED Earnings!
It is widespread for folks who seek job stability to hesitate to make investments. The cause is understandable for some of us the challenges of investing in a small business are just way too substantially to manage.
A correct Organization Entrepreneur understands that in buy to construct -what I would contact- a 'money-machine', investments are required. There is just no this sort of things as businesses without having investments. He understands that it normally requires time and concentration to produce a productive enterprise. But he also knows that investing funds is just as important!
Occasionally it normally requires the Business Entrepreneur a calendar year or two just before he can last but not least experience the large good results. Occasionally even a little bit additional. It normally takes a couple of many years of investing time, concentration and cash. But this is not also tough for him to deal with. A correct Entrepreneur thinks prolonged term. He is aware that in the stop, his doing work and funds investing will ultimately fork out off!
A Household Dependent Organization Entrepreneur would only have to make investments just 5-ten hours a pennystocks4509.com week for a few of a long time and he would only have to make very low price range investments into his home primarily based business. And at the stop of the time of doing work and investing, our Entrepreneur would have turned it into a major volume of residual cash flow stream!
I am not chatting about cash that comes in right now and is gone tomorrow but revenue that keeps coming in thirty day period immediately after month, yr right after calendar year... dollars that -as Gery Carson has place it- "when you have left this world carries on to offer for your spouse, young children, or grandchildren."
By then you would think that all your beneficial time and dollars you have spent would be value it.
Typically an normal employee, who fears too considerably to make investments, works hard to get his shell out test just about every month. Most possible he even retires broke. Prior to he knows it, he leaves the planet with almost nothing to depart for his family members.
A correct Enterprise Entrepreneur is well prepared to make investments. He is aware of by investing in his business he is creating assets that would make passive and residual source of income for him all through his decades on this world and the decades of his grandchildren.

I posted a few days ago about how unhappy I was about being pregnant. I have been wrestling with having an abortion for the last few days, and I feel like I have made up my mind. I have one son who is autistic, we share a room with my super dysfunctional parents, and I am not in love with the baby's father. I struggle with the paycheck i have to just stay above water.

I had decided to keep my baby. I told my parents and we were going to try and figure things out. I went to my OB today, and they couldn't find a heartbeat. She said I miscarried. I am numb. I feel like this was my fault since I was going to abort it. I don't know if I could have even gone thru with the abortion, but I know that I was under extreme stress.
But I am filled with grief and guilt. I am not sure how I should feel. I have to have a D&C next week and I am just really numb. I am sure this is all normal, but it still doesn't feel right or good. My parents are not offering much sympathy and I still feel alone. I hope it all passes, I am tired of feeling depressed and sad and crying all the time.

There is nothing wrong with having an abortion. There is no baby yet, only an embryo that cannot think or feel. It is your body, your choice and no one else's business. If I was in your situation I suspect I would have an abortion as well. You need to do what is best for your family, yourself and your son. 1/3 of American women have an abortion at some point in their lives. It is nothing to be ashamed of. Best of luck.

No judgement here whatsoever. I'm so sorry you have to go thru with a decision like this. As someone who when thru that twice as a teenager, I would like to give you a little advice to think very strongly before going thru with it. At the time I went thru mine, I knew it was a quick fix and thought it would never effect me. However, I've gone thru a lot of emotional problems because of it. There is nothing that compares to the emotions I go thru now as an adult and mom.
I just want you to know that it's such a life changing decision. I have a friend who has an autistic son and I see the daily struggles she goes thru with him, I know how hard it is. I was a single mom for a long time with my daughter and while it was really hard I did get thru it. I've since met and married a man who now helps me raise her and our daughter together. I wish you luck in your decision.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) --Mortgage REITs were having a brilliant year in 2012, but ran into a brick wall some three weeks ago, and there is some disagreement among analysts over whether the sector will redeem itself when companies report third quarter earnings.
From the start of the year through Sept. 21, Market Vectors ETF Trust (MORT), a mortgage REIT exchange traded fund, gained 23.87%, not counting its sizeable dividend yield (currently just below 10%). From Sept. 24 through Thursday, however, the fund has fallen 5.5% on worries over shrinking dividends.
Some commentators have pinned the blame on QE3--specifically, the Federal Reserve's Sept. 13 announcement that it would buy long-dated mortgage backed securities in an effort to stimulate home purchases by lowering the mortgage rate for prospective new homebuyers.
Mortgage REITs use leverage to buy mortgage backed securities (MBS) and profit on the spread between the dividend income and their (relatively lower) cost of raising money to buy more MBS. Lower yields on long-dated MBS means rising book values for mortgage REITs because the MBS they own rise in value. However, the lower long term yields mean that when MBS mature, the mortgage REITs must reinvest their earnings at lower yields.Further, mortgage REITs face a rising risk of prepayment as homeowners pay off mortgages in order to refinance at lower rates. However, Sterne Agee analyst Jason Weaver argues in a report published Thursday these risks "have been apparent for some time, thus we find it unlikely to be the driver of recent sector weakness as commonly cited." Rather, Weaver attributes the recent selloff to investors pocketing gains and reallocating money to sectors that haven't performed as well. Barclays analyst Mark DeVries, however, expressed concern on Tuesday that attempts by REITs such as American Capital Agency Corp. (AGNC), Annaly Capital Management (NLY)and CYS Investments (CYS), which focus on MBS issued by government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae (FNMA)and Freddie Mac (FMCC) to hedge their exposure to rising interest rates may have offset their QE3-driven book value gains. Weaver, on the other hand, does not share those concerns. He sees "a good possibility of significant upside surprises" on earnings and book value, particularly for American Capital Agency Corp. He did not address Annaly or CYS in his report.

EW: How did you approach these anniversary covers?
TD: The idea is to celebrate a decade of Spiderwick success and I've designed new covers for a new generation of readers. The original books were designed with a nod to classic children's books of the past. Rich jewel tones dominated the books while a central iconic image focused on one of the heroes in the story. This worked great for the first editions, because the trim size of each book was quite small. The new hardcover editions are larger, allowing more room for more visuals.

Owner of elaborate Chesterfield light display found dead
Updated On: Dec 22 2013 08:54:16 PM EST
A man known for his elaborate light display in Chesterfield, N.H., was found shot and killed in his Connecticut home on Friday.
A family member found John Chakalos, 87, shot in the head at 8:23 a.m. Friday in what police are calling an active homicide investigation. Officials in Connecticut said detectives from the Windsor Police Department and Connecticut State Police Major Crime Squad are investigating.
Chakalos, a well-known investor, decorated his 82-acre Chesterfield home with about 2 million lights for the public, asking visitors to bring a donation to a local food pantry.
Anyone with information is asked to call police in Connecticut at 860-688-5273 ext 571.

Monster truck fans start your engines. All your favorite four wheel crushing machines are coming to the Blue Cross Arena.
Starting Friday night, you can see all the Monster Jam drivers and their trucks including favorites Grave Digger and Monster Mutt. The colossal machines will be going head to head in a straight line race as well as wheelie, donut and freestyle competitions.
Gary Porter, Grave Digger, said, "Looking up in the stands and seeing all the fans you know with their banners and their posters and you know waving the Grave Digger pennants and the flags and stuff that they buy here at the events. And it is awesome you know to see the fans reactions while I'm out here driving the truck."
Monster Jam kicks off at the Blue Cross Arena Friday night and runs through Sunday. If you want to get up close and personal with the trucks and drivers, they'll be holding a pit party on Saturday from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30p.m and Sunday from 11:00a.m. to 12:30p.m.

I'm honored to be participating in Mara's Teen Week: Words That Heal, an annual blog series where bloggers reveal their experiences with body image, sexuality, and self-esteem during their teen years.
I've talked before about my sad body image as a teen. My negative body image was intertwined with my low self-esteem and shaky sense of self. (Clearly, a winning combination.)
Thankfully, many years later, I've learned a thing or two. And I'm in a much healthier place.
Here are the secrets I wish I could've shared with my teen self.
What would you tell your teen self?

Surveying of the Meridian
Astronomers in ancient China established the of meridian quite early, they divided the meridian into 90 degrees from the North Pole to the equator, and they knew that the shadow under the sun decreased from north to south. However, since they had not made field surveys they did not know the exact proportions of shadows in relation to their geographical locations. For a long time they believed that there was a difference of one cun (roughly an inch) in the length of shadow in relation to a distance of 1,000 li (about 500 km) from north to south. During the early years (about 604-607) of the reign of Emperor Yangdi of the Sui Dynasty, astronomer Liu Zhuo (544-608) suggested that a
surveyor with mathematical knowledge be invited to conduct surveys on the plains north and south of the Yellow River, making sure that tile direction is from north to south, and measuring the distances of several hundred li with ropes. He said this method could be adopted in studying the earth, the sky and stars. In 607 Emperor Yangdi ordered that various localities measure the length of shadows, but the project failed due to Liu Zhuo's death. More than 100 years later, the Monk Yixing, an astronomer of the Tang Dynasty, carried out the historic mission of measuring the meridian on the ground.
The Monk Yixing (683-727) was also known by the name of Zhang Sui before he became a monk. A native of Changle of Weizhou (now Nanle County of Henan Province), Zhang Sui studied diligently in his childhood and grew to become a learned man. Upright Zhang refused to serve Wu Sansi, a corrupt senior official who tyrannized, and he secluded himself in a temple in the Songshan Mountain and became a monk. He was thus known as the Monk Yixing. In 717 Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty invited Yixing to Changan, the capital of the empire, and serve as an advisor of astronomy. There Yixing compiled and popularized the Dayan calendar, extended the application of Liu Zhuo's formula on the variable-speed motion of the sun, and created together with another astronomer Liang Lingzan a number of astronomical devices including a bronze armillary sphere and an ecliptic armillary sphere. With the new devices, Yixing redetermined the positions of more than 150 stars and repeatedly measured the degrees of the twenty-eight lunar constellations from the North Pole of the celestial sphere.
His observations proved that quite a few previous records had been inaccurate. Based on his own observations, Yixing came to the deduction that the stars were constantly changing their positions in the celestial sphere. He thus became the first astronomer in the world to study the movement of stars, about one thousand years before English astronomer Edmund Halley (1656-1742).
As major errors had been found in the forecasts of solar eclipses based on previous calendars, Emperor Xuanzong assigned Yixing to the task of making a better calendar. Yixing decided to base his compilation on field surveys. In 724 he launched and directed a giant project of measuring the meridian through field surveys. The sites selected for the surveys included Linyi (in the central part of present-day Vietnam, at about latitude 18~ North) in the southernmost, and Tiele (in today's Mongolia, at latitude 50~ North) in the northernmost; in between were sites in Annam (in today's Vietnam), Wuling of Langzhou (now Changde of Hunan Province), Xiangzhou (now Xiangfan of Hubei Province), Wujinguan of Shangcai in Caizhou (now Runan of Henan Province), Fugou of Xuzhou (now Fugou of Henan Province), Taiyuetai of Junyi in Bianzhou (now Junxian of Henan Province), Baima of Huazhou (now Huaxian of Henan Province), Taiyuan Fu (now Taiyuan of Shanxi Province), Hengyejun of Weizhou (now Weixian of Hebei Province), Yangcheng (now Gaocheng Town of Dengfeng in Henan Province), and Luoyang (now Luoyang of Henan Province). Of all the results, those by Nangong Yue and others at Baima, Junyi, Fugou and Wujin were most satisfactory.

The North Mississippi Law Enforcement Training Center (NMLETC), located in east Tupelo, opened its doors in 1991. NMLET serves as one of Mississippi's six state certified police academies, graduating thirty to fifty new police officers each year. In fall 2009, the NMLETC will graduate its 45th basic law enforcement certification class.
The basic class consists of ten intensive weeks of both mental and physical challenges that cadets have to successfully complete to become a state certified police officer. These challenges consist of the basic areas of law enforcement such as physical fitness, firearms, driving, defensive tactics, state statutes and constitutional law. Police cadets stay at the training center during the week, and go home on the weekend. The cadets are not only from the Tupelo Police Department, but are drawn mostly from the law enforcement agencies in the northern region of the state.
NMLETC also serves as an in-service training facility for the Tupelo Police Department and various local, state, and federal agencies. Countless agents and officers from Tupelo and surrounding agencies use the facility for firearms and other training during the year. Many advanced law enforcement schools, sponsored by entities such as the National Rifle Association, Glock Inc., and other professional organizations, are held at the NMLETC every year. These schools serve to further develop skills necessary for career law enforcement officers. Not a week goes by that the facility is not utilized by some agency or professional organization for some type of training.
In years past the NMLETC along with the School Resource Division of the Tupelo Police Department has been proud to sponsor the Junior Police Academy. This academy consists of area youth taking part in a two-week program that gives the junior cadets a taste various areas of law enforcement and what a career in this particular field entails.
The North Mississippi Law Enforcement Training Center is proud to be an integral part of the Tupelo Police Department.

Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Drawing a Parabola
You have already learned about the line drawing tools such as line, curve, freeform, and scribble. With these line tools, you can draw almost anything in PowerPoint that you normally would draw in a high-end illustration program. In this tutorial, let us explore how to draw a parabola in PowerPoint 2011 using the Curve drawing tool. First of all, what is a parabola? Technically, it is a conic section -- but to make it easier for you, we'll ask you to visualize the McDonald's logo with just one conic section rather than two.

How Audiences See -- Follow the Action: by Jerry Weissman
oes this large, illuminated letter look familiar? It should. The style has been around ever since medieval times to mark the beginning of a new document. It has continued on into modern publishing where an enlarged first letter marks the beginning of chapters in books and the beginnings of articles in magazines and newspapers. Now it becomes a factor in how we view computer screens. EyeTrackShop, an eponymous Swedish start-up company, does exactly what its name says: track eye movements to, as their slogan puts it, "identify where people look, for how long and in what order."

Learn PowerPoint 2010: Enable Trusted Certificates
Now that you know how you can create a self-signed digital certificate outside PowerPoint, you will soon discover that these certificates are not trusted. This means that you can send these non-trusted certificates only to known people who are confident that the sender is the actual originator (or author) of the document. However, you can provide the recipients a certain level of confidence by converting these to trusted certificates. In this tutorial you'll learn to stamp a self-signed certificate as trusted within PowerPoint.

Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Target Diagram
PowerPoint provides a large collection of ready-made shapes that you can easily insert in your PowerPoint slides. You can go ahead and add multiple shapes on the same slide and then flip, rotate, reorder, or group them as required, or combine them to create your own new diagrams and designs. These combined shapes help create more involved diagrams such as a target diagram -- in this tutorial we'll show you how simple it is to create a target by placing circles of succeeding smaller sizes one on top of the other.
Learn how to draw a target diagram with multiple circles in PowerPoint 2011.
Indezine News Released
During the last issue, we discussed about how a smile can be a liability to a speaker, especially if he smiles all through a long presentation. Read our Thin Smiles, Thinner Audiences story this time to learn more. Yet, that does not mean that you should not smile -- a smile is a very useful part of your personality, and a great asset when it is sincere and genuine. And when you smile, your slides need to smile too. Yes, slides have emotions -- they can cry, they can smile. They can be grumpy, dirty, and confused -- or they can be organized, efficient, and clean! In the next few issues, we will explore slide emotions and see how the right emotive slide can make a difference to your presentation.
Learn PowerPoint 2010: Creating Digital Certificates Outside PowerPoint
We have already explored how you can create a basic digital signature right within PowerPoint 2010 -- and how you can sign your presentation. Each signature is contained inside a digital certificate. Digital certificates, also known as digital IDs can either be self-signed (as explained in our Acquire or Create a Digital Signature in PowerPoint 2010 tutorial) or issued by Certificate Authority within an organization. Although PowerPoint lets you create a certificate, it does not let you create multiple certificates -- to do that, you can create a digital certificate outside PowerPoint.

Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Creating Anchor Points for Connectors
At the time of attaching a connector to any slide object, you might have noticed that connectors can only be attached to an anchor point that appears on the slide object. Most of the time, the default anchor points may work well for you -- however, in certain scenarios, you may want additional anchor points at a particular location on the slide object. The good news is that you can add new anchor points for slide objects such as shapes and text boxes using the technique explained in this tutorial.
Learn how to create Anchor Points for connectors in PowerPoint 2011.
Animated Slide: Rotated Circles with Background Fill
A picture that has 6 friends celebrating – and 6 circles grab each of these friend's faces to create a rotated circle animation. Predictably, all 6 circles contain a slide background fill so as to grab the content off the slide background. Simultaneously, the rest of the background fades out so that the area within the circles is highlighted. The background picture was sourced from Microsoft's Office.com site. These slides were created in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows and should work well in both PowerPoint 2007 and 2010 for Windows – and in PowerPoint 2008 and 2011 on the Mac.

Lingo 2: The Indezine Review
Although it is easy to change the proofing language for specific text placeholders within a PowerPoint presentation, this can be a monotonous and long task. If you need to change the proofing language of over a hundred slides, you can be assured that this might take away a larger part of your working day. Fortunately, our review product can be a huge help! Lingo 2 is a PowerPoint add-in that changes the proofing language of all slides within a presentation at one go! It searches almost everywhere in your presentation to locate instances of language attributes in the Masters, tables, SmartArt, Notes pages, grouped shapes and text boxes, text placeholders, etc. -- and changes the proofing language.
Learn about Lingo, a PowerPoint add-in which enables changing the proofing language of the presentation's text content to various languages.
Learn PowerPoint 2010: Acquire or Create a Digital Signature
You have already explored what a digital signature is, and how a digital signature can be important for use in PowerPoint presentations. To digitally sign a presentation, you need a digital certificate. If you try to digitally sign any presentation without a digital certificate in PowerPoint 2010, you are prompted to acquire or create a digital signature. In this tutorial we will explore how you can both acquire or create a digital signature.
Learn how to acquire or create a digital signature in PowerPoint 2010.
Learn PowerPoint 2011 for Mac: Reroute Connectors
You have already learned about the amazing stuff you can do with connectors -- starting from drawing to formatting them. Many times when you draw connectors between slide objects, the connector may use the shortest path between two slide objects -- this might overlap the connector over other shapes, text boxes, or any other object. You might have another reason to use a longer connector between two slide objects as well -- whatever your reason may be, the good news is that you can easily reroute your connectors -- either automatically or manually.
Learn how to reroute connectors automatically, and also how you can use the yellow diamond handles in connectors within PowerPoint 2011.
Thin Smiles, Thinner Audiences!
Yesterday evening, our bank invited us to a presentation by one of their insurance consultants -- and that caused me to run into something I have never experienced before in more than a decade of presenting and teaching people how to present! What I encountered was a thin smile -- the presenter had this thin smile plastered on his face right from the start to end of his presentation -- and that lasted for a good hour and half. Fortunately, I had my iPad with me -- so I used it to good advantage to pencil all my thoughts immediately! Later I asked a few friends about what they thought -- and added all their experiences to this blog post.
Learn how a smile can be a liability.
Learn PowerPoint 2010: Creating Anchor Points for Connectors
While PowerPoint lets you attach a connector to any slide object, these connectors can only be attached to wherever you see an anchor point on the slide object. Most of the time, the location of these anchor points may work well for you -- however, in certain scenarios, you may want additional anchor points at a particular location. The good news is that you can add new anchor points for shapes and text boxes using the technique explained on this page. For text placeholders though, you cannot add new anchor points.
