price and value
Price and value may not be the same thing, but they do affect each other. Since many people assume that higher priced items are better, they value the lower priced items less.

Re: price and value
I'd disagree: price may affect people's perceptionof value, but I don't think it changes the value of a thing. A well-done freeware program is still valuable even if someone doesn't think so because of personal bias.

Perception is reality in most things whether that be right or wrong. How I perceive cheap, free or expensive makes it a reality for me as an individual. If enough individuals perceive it the same way then you develop trends.

Content: Derek Powazek (random trivia: whose work inspired me to learn how to create a web page back around 1995 or 1996 or so) has an excellent take on the pithy and dismissive phrase that many often use to argue that free services treat users worse: "If you're not paying for the product, you are the product." It's pithy and clever... and wrong. Powazek dismantles the claim eloquently. He attacks the underlying assumptions in that statement. He highlights that "free with advertising" has been a pretty big business for a long long time, in which there's no indication that users were treated as "the product" or somehow treated poorly. And then there's the key one: this is not an either/or situation: I’ve worked for, and even run, many companies in the last 20 years with various business models.

Not always. Look at Dropbox. 95% of their users get it for free, and they get great support and (as far as I know) none of their information gets sold. The idea there is to get them hooked on the product and want to upgrade later, but if you're content using their free service (which tens of millions of people do), you aren't a product in any way.

Although, the argument of whether or not a media outlet is bias is omnipresent, there is always one outlet less bias than the other. The consummate non-biased media is a kind of utopia that is still a long way away. The question is, which news source has lesser degree of bias than the rest?

How Do I Get Audio to Play Automatically in PowerPoint?
Playing Audio from the Beginning
Playing Audio from a Specific Slide

Content: To do this, follow the next steps: Go to the Insert tab, click on Audio, and then choose Audio on My PC. If you’re using Office 2010 or an older version, the option will be labeled Audio from File. Browse your computer for the file you want to play. Once you’ve found it, either double-click on it or select it and then click on Insert. Under Audio Tools, click on the Playback tab and select the option Play in Background. In older versions of PowerPoint, you should click on the dropdown box next to the Start option and select Play across slides from the list. In both versions, the file will start playing automatically as soon as you start the slide show. If the audio you chose is too short to cover the duration of your whole presentation, you can do a test run of the presentation, time it, and insert more audio files on other slides so that there are no silent intervals. You can also use free audio-editing tools like Audacity or Free Audio Editor to combine two or more audio files into one, thus ensuring that the audio keeps playing for as long as necessary.

Saving Audio Files
If you’re saving your presentation to a flash drive, make sure to keep the audio files and the presentation in the same folder. Otherwise, PowerPoint won’t be able to locate the files you inserted and your presentation will be silent as a result. The only thing to do in such situations would be to edit the path of each audio file in your presentation, which is very time-consuming and therefore best avoided. Final Thoughts
Microsoft PowerPoint is incredibly flexible and allows you to customize your presentation with a variety of useful tools and features. By taking the steps outlined above, you can easily set up audio to play automatically in PowerPoint.

PowerPoint has come a long way from its humble origins in 1987 as a tool for creating transparencies for overhead projectors. It’s estimated that over 90% of people using a computer to make their presentations these days are using PowerPoint. With such a large uptake, and with boring presentations being a pretty big faux pas, it’s a good idea to learn all the tools and tricks you can to make your slideshow stand out. Some text flying in from the edge of the screen and a snowfield transition is no longer enough to impress, and fumbling about trying to make a video play is just as shabby-looking. Below, we’ll show you how to make sure your presentation is as slick as it can be, by ensuring your videos play as soon as you click on the slide. We’ll also share a few notes, tips, and tricks, all to help your presentation wow your audience. Automatically Play a Video from Your Computer
Add the video to your PowerPoint presentation by first clicking on the ‘Insert’ tab at the top left of the window. Next, click on the ‘Video’ button on the next bar down to the right of the window. Click on ‘Video on My PC’, then find the video you want to add to the slide. Once the video has been added, click on the ‘View’ tab, and make sure you’re in ‘Normal’ view.

Content: – If you select ‘In Click Sequence’, the video will play sequentially along with other effects that you’ve added to the slide, like animations. – You should set this option before you add any triggers or animations to the video, because changing this option will delete them. – If you are running Windows RT on your PC, some older video file formats might not compress or export correctly. It’s better to use more modern formats like Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) or H.264. Automatically Play a Video from the Internet
Gone are the days where you had to stop mid-presentation to open up a web browser to show your audience an online video. As YouTube is the most popular video sharing site, we’ll use that in our example, but the procedure will be similar for most other websites. Find the video on YouTube that you want to add to your presentation. Under the video frame, click on the “Share” button. Click on ‘Copy’ next to the URL provided at the bottom of the window that pops up. Open your PowerPoint presentation.

A Few Great Sources for Unbiased News
Why reliable news is so vital
Sources of unbiased news
Some reliable news outlets you might want to try
Content: There is no such thing as unbiased news. The journalist has a bias and the network has a bias. It is impossible to find any human created content without some form of bias. The actual goal is to find the most reliable source for news or the least biased. To find reliable news: Use your favorite news outlets but never rely on them alone. Identify whether the piece you’re reading or watching is opinion, general information, argument or persuasion piece and act accordingly. Compare that news to other pieces from other outlets. Compare it to news outlets from other nations. Never trust user generated content without verification or checking elsewhere.

Content: In an ICO, however, a startup sells a portion of a cryptocurrency to backers to fund the project. Many countries have started placing restrictions on ICOs, and the People's Bank of China has banned them. The Securities Exchange Commission does not regulate ICOs and none have registered with the agency, prompting the SEC to issue a warning about potential risks to investors considering ICOs. The fact that this fundraising approach has gotten so much attention indicates that it's disruptive. 4. Complicating regulation
As we briefly touched on earlier, one potential challenge related to cryptocurrency transactions is that they're hard to regulate due to their anonymous nature. It's what facilitated the growth of the Silk Road, the massive anonymous online marketplace where users could buy illegal items without consequence until the FBI shut it down. This anonymity also enabled various scams. Another reason governments are concerned about cryptocurrency is that it makes it easy for people to avoid paying taxes. This fact has caused various countries to consider stricter regulations on crypto and even develop their own government-sponsored cryptocurrencies.

Why does my baby lean to one side? If your baby is learning to one side, you might find the information on these three common causes helpful. So to answer your question, why does my baby tilt his head to one side, please read the following possible reasons: 1. Congenital Muscular Torticollis
If your baby regularly has their head tilted to one side, this may be caused by torticollis. Torticollis, also known as wryneck, is a condition involving the muscles of the neck responsible for allowing the head to tilt down. Torticollis occurs when there is a small knot of tangled fibres in one of the side neck muscles, known as the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM). This tangled knot means the sternocleidomastoid muscle is shorter on one side of the neck than the other, causing the head to tilt in the direction of the shorter muscle. Watch our YouTube video for a full explanation of the condition.

Torticollis occurs when there is a small knot of tangled fibres in one of the side neck muscles, known as the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM). This tangled knot means the sternocleidomastoid muscle is shorter on one side of the neck than the other, causing the head to tilt in the direction of the shorter muscle. Watch our YouTube video for a full explanation of the condition. If your baby has torticollis at birth, it’s referred to as congenital muscular torticollis and is the most common type. This knot in the SCM can develop whilst the baby is still in the womb and is a result of being cramped or being in an abnormal position, such as breech position. In turn, this can put extra pressure on one side of your baby’s head, which can cause the SCM to tighten. Torticollis is usually detected within the first few weeks of a baby’s life when a paediatrician or the midwife/health visitor notices a small lump on the side of the baby’s neck. Similarly, it can be detected by parents who notice that their baby’s head leans to one side and subsequently contacts a clinician.

3 Reasons Why Your Baby’s Head Tilts to One Side
Why is my baby’s head tilted to one side?
Why does my baby lean to one side?
1. Congenital Muscular Torticollis
2. Acquired Torticollis

Torticollis Treatment
Klippel-Feil Syndrome Treatment
Content: Rather than finding a newborn head tilts to one side, you might notice some signs later on, such as: – Infant tilting head to one side with their chin pointing towards the opposite shoulder. The right side is affected by roughly 75% of babies with torticollis so if your baby’s head tilts to the right side, this may be the cause. – Your baby has trouble turning their head up and down and side to side. – There is a soft lump in your baby’s neck muscle. – Your baby starts getting flat areas on one or both sides from lying in one position all the time- this is called ‘positional plagiocephaly’. Please read our blog post on how to prevent plagiocephaly developing in infants if you are worried about flat head syndrome as a result of torticollis. We also explain the relationship between plagiocephaly and torticollis. 3. Klippel-Feil Syndrome
This condition is present from birth.

This condition is present from birth. If your baby keeps tilting their head to one side, they may have Klippel-Feil Syndrome which is the result of a fusion of two or more cervical (neck) vertebrae. Children with Klippel-Feil syndrome may have a short, broad neck, low hairline and very restricted neck movement. If you’re not sure about your newborn’s head, please read our blog post called 5 things about your newborn’s head that are completely normal. Klippel-Feil Syndrome is a rare disorder, estimated to affect 1 in 40,000 newborns worldwide. The disorder appears to occur slightly more often in females than in males.

The Impact of the Internet on Society: A Global Perspective
by
Manuel Castells
archive page
September 8, 2014
The Internet is the decisive technology of the Information Age, and with the explosion of wireless communication in the early twenty-first century, we can say that humankind is now almost entirely connected, albeit with great levels of inequality in bandwidth, efficiency, and price. People, companies, and institutions feel the depth of this technological change, but the speed and scope of the transformation has triggered all manner of utopian and dystopian perceptions that, when examined closely through methodologically rigorous empirical research, turn out not to be accurate. For instance, media often report that intense use of the Internet increases the risk of isolation, alienation, and withdrawal from society, but available evidence shows that the Internet neither isolates people nor reduces their sociability; it actually increases sociability, civic engagement, and the intensity of family and friendship relationships, in all cultures. Our current “network society” is a product of the digital revolution and some major sociocultural changes. One of these is the rise of the “Me-centered society,” marked by an increased focus on individual growth and a decline in community understood in terms of space, work, family, and ascription in general. But individuation does not mean isolation, or the end of community. Instead, social relationships are being reconstructed on the basis of individual interests, values, and projects.

Title: A quantum experiment suggests there’s no such thing as objective reality | MIT Technology Review
Headings: A quantum experiment suggests there’s no such thing as objective reality
A quantum experiment suggests there’s no such thing as objective reality
Content: The first is that universal facts actually exist and that observers can agree on them. But there are other assumptions too. One is that observers have the freedom to make whatever observations they want. And another is that the choices one observer makes do not influence the choices other observers make—an assumption that physicists call locality. If there is an objective reality that everyone can agree on, then these assumptions all hold. But Proietti and co’s result suggests that objective reality does not exist. In other words, the experiment suggests that one or more of the assumptions—the idea that there is a reality we can agree on, the idea that we have freedom of choice, or the idea of locality—must be wrong. Of course, there is another way out for those hanging on to the conventional view of reality. This is that there is some other loophole that the experimenters have overlooked. Indeed, physicists have tried to close loopholes in similar experiments for years, although they concede that it may never be possible to close them all.

‘Trustworthy AI’ is a framework to help manage unique risk
With the continued rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, businesses are facing challenges that are more human than machine.
The Trustworthy AI framework
1. Fair, not biased
2. Transparent and explainable
3. Responsible and accountable
4. Robust and reliable
5. Respectful of privacy
6. Safe and secure
AI you can trust
Content: As AI is deployed on a larger scale, the associated risks will likely only increase—potentially having serious consequences for society at large, and even greater consequences for the companies responsible. From a business perspective, these potential consequences include everything from lawsuits, regulatory fines, and angry customers to embarrassment, reputation damage, and destruction of shareholder value. Yet with AI now becoming a required business capability—not just a “nice to have”—companies no longer have the option to avoid AI’s unique risks simply by avoiding AI altogether. Instead, they must learn how to identify and manage AI risks effectively. In order to achieve the potential of human and machine collaboration, organizations need to communicate a plan for AI that is adopted and spoken from the mailroom to the boardroom. By having an ethical framework in place, organizations create a common language by which to articulate trust and help ensure integrity of data among all of their internal and external stakeholders. Having a common framework and lens to apply the governance and management of risks associated with AI consistently across the enterprise can enable faster, and more consistent adoption of AI. The Trustworthy AI framework
To better address the challenges related to AI ethics and governance—it helps to leverage a framework. Deloitte’s Trustworthy AI framework introduces six key dimensions that, when considered collectively in the design, development, deployment, and operational phases of AI system implementation, can help safeguard ethics and build a trustworthy AI strategy. The Trustworthy AI framework is designed to help companies identify and mitigate potential risks related to AI ethics at every stage of the AI lifecycle.

Trustworthy AI must be designed and trained to follow a fair, consistent process and make fair decisions. It must also include internal and external checks to reduce discriminatory bias. Bias is an ongoing challenge for humans and society, not just AI. However, the challenge is even greater for AI because it lacks a nuanced understanding of social standards—not to mention the extraordinary general intelligence required to achieve “common sense”— potentially leading to decisions that are technically correct but socially unacceptable. AI learns from the data sets used to train it, and if those data sets contain real-world bias then AI systems can learn, amplify, and propagate that bias at digital speed and scale. For example, an AI system that decides on-the-fly where to place online job ads might unfairly target ads for higher paying jobs at a website’s male visitors because the real-world data shows men typically earn more than women. Similarly, a financial services company that uses AI to screen mortgage applications might find its algorithm is unfairly discriminating against people based on factors that are not socially acceptable, such as race, gender, or age. In both cases, the company responsible for the AI could face significant consequences, including regulatory fines and reputation damage.

What Does Brand Advocate Mean? Techopedia Explains Brand Advocate
What Does Brand Advocate Mean? In electronic commerce, a brand advocate is a customer who speaks in favor of a product by passing along word of mouth (WOM) comments and messages to other potential customers in the hope that they will join in on purchasing a specific brand. A brand advocate may be: A famous person or V.I.P. who relays a positive image
A retail store associate with strong brand knowledge
A person who uses the advertised brand and has many social connections/good standing in his or her community
Brand advocates strongly believe in the product they are helping advertise through electronic word-of-mouth marketing (WOMM). Advertisement
Techopedia Explains Brand Advocate
Brand advocates are carefully chosen by manufacturers or retailers in the hope that they will boost sales to a given product. In fact, consumers are very likely to purchase an item based on a family or friend's suggestion, so WOMM is considered a very successful online advertising and marketing tool. Some companies even assist businesses in carefully locating suitable brand advocates, a job for which not many people are qualified. Brand advocates may be in positions of power where they have plenty of influence over others.

Techopedia Explains Architect-Engineer (A-E)
The demand for A-E services by military or government clients covers a broad range of services. One example is an IT component, where engineering services may be relevant to some aspect of IT. Typically, construction consulting roles require A-E services, including related document drafts, cost estimate provisioning and other critical project support. A-E services are governed by specific rules related to government contracting. One way that A-E services are provided is under an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, which allows for an undefined volume in a fixed amount of time. Advertisement

Techopedia Explains Electronic Waste (E-Waste)
The problems that may be created by e-waste are compounded by modern technology’s continuous flux and obsolescence. Frequent replacement of mobile phones and computers are but a few examples. As such, e-waste poses a critical issue in terms of solid waste management. Global and local advocacy organizations are committed to educating consumers on the proper methods for disposing and recycling electronic waste. Some hand-held devices, mobile phones and computer parts contain valuable materials and substances such as gold, silver, copper, lead and nickel that can be harvested, as well as hazardous material such as cadmium, mercury and sulfur, which require special disposal.

What Does Cybercrime Mean? Techopedia Explains Cybercrime
What Does Cybercrime Mean? In general, cybercrime is defined as either a crime involving computing against a digital target or a crime in which a computing system is used to commit criminal offenses. As a broad category of crime, cybercrime includes such disparate sorts of activities as illegal access of data, use of computer communications to commit fraud, or the ransoming of systems via digital means. Cybercrime may also be referred to as computer crime. Advertisement
Techopedia Explains Cybercrime
In a very general sense, cybercrime can be split into two fundamental types—the type in which criminals target networks, and the type in which people commit criminal acts by using computing systems. Another way to talk about this is that the complexity of cybercrime has grown along with the complexity of computing systems. In the 1980s, cybercrime would most likely involve representing fraudulent data on a workstation or simple network, or hacking a network to achieve criminal outcomes. Nowadays, the scenery of the cybercrime world is much more complex.

Nowadays, the scenery of the cybercrime world is much more complex. One type of cybercrime involves data breaches where hackers and black hat operators compromise the privacy of sensitive data assets. Then there are various types of crimes where cyberattacks target networks to shut down various mission-critical computing operations maintained by governments or businesses. The phenomenon of cyberwarfare applies wherever a nation targets another nation’s networks or their proxies. In the “other world” of cybercrime, where computers are used to pursue criminal activities, there's a wide gamut of criminal operations that apply, ranging from using computers for sex trafficking or fraud to using computers to direct systems that can harm people physically. Because the power of computers has become so broad, the nature of cybercrime has evolved accordingly.

Cryptocurrency cybercrime happens when computers are used to illegally obtain or manipulate digital assets. This type of cybercrime is as new as the practice of using cryptocurrency or tokenized assets that are represented in digital form. In the old days, cybercrime did not include the fraudulent or illegal handling or theft of these digital assets, because the digital assets themselves didn't exist. Now, by contrast, there are all sorts of electronic assets sitting in digital wallets, and cyber-thieves trying to steal them.

There's also a new kind of cryptocurrency cybercrime in which operators are targeted for misleading investors or misrepresenting digital assets themselves in a fraudulent way. All of this means that the world of cybercrime is sufficiently vast to require many different kinds of law enforcement. Security professionals increasingly wear many “hats” in the world of law enforcement and use more evolved models to target cybercriminals. One prime example of this is a major kind of cybercrime that is called ransomware. In ransomware operations, the cybercriminal uses a computing system to hold some asset “ransom” for payment.

What Does Data Integration Architect Mean? A data integration architect is an IT departmental role that involves working on data integration solutions. Data integration architects are generally data architects, in that they manage aspects of a data architecture that serve the purposes of a business or organization. These job roles also may be customer facing, or involve working closely with teams of software developers. Advertisement
Techopedia Explains Data Integration Architect
Many data integration architects work according to a set of strategies that could be labeled as agile development or agile data integration. Specific core tasks may include database modeling, working with interface specifications or managing any other process that involves how data is integrated into a specific IT architecture. One issue that affects the deployment of a data integration architect is the controversy over whether data integration really needs it own architecture. Many experts in data handling for business would argue that businesses profit from specifically managed data integration architectures that address the needs, and future needs, of the business.

What Does Data Warehouse Architect Mean? A data warehouse architect is responsible for designing data warehouse solutions and working with conventional data warehouse technologies to come up with plans that best support a business or organization. As with other similar kinds of roles, a data warehouse architect often takes client needs or employer goals and works to develop a specific architecture that will be maintained to serve the specific stated purposes. Advertisement
Techopedia Explains Data Warehouse Architect
Many data warehouse architects will be familiar with common technologies for data warehousing and extract, transform and load (ETL) methodologies. A data warehouse architect may have experience using Oracle or similar resources, as well as other technologies like J2EE or Cognos, and programming languages such as Java. However, some point out that the majority of a data warehouse architect’s work may have to do with a broader design goal and effective communication rather than hands-on knowledge of specific tools. For example, data warehouse architects may largely focus on defining and implementing solutions, and training other staff. Basically, the data warehouse architect will maintain systems for keeping raw data, metadata and other data assets secure and accessible within a greater IT infrastructure.

Take advantage of PowerPoint's Notes feature
Content: Creating notes
PowerPoint offers a couple of methods for creating notes for a slide, but we'll take the most flexible approach: Display the slide in Slide view, or select it in Slide Sorter view. Choose Notes Page from the View menu, or click the Notes Page View button in the horizontal scrollbar. PowerPoint will switch to Notes Page view, displaying an image of the slide and a text box for notes. In Notes Page view, PowerPoint displays the current slide and a text box for the notes. Click in the text box, and type a sample note. You'll probably want to choose a higher zoom percentage from the Zoom drop-down list for a better view of what you're typing. To show that notes text works just like any other slide text, make a couple of editing changes, and then reformat your notes by highlighting the text and selecting a different font and point size. To demonstrate that you can resize the slide image and text box, click a handle and drag. ( Hold down [Shift] and drag a corner handle if you want to resize proportionally.)

3 Strategies for Engaging Students in Online Courses
Create Effective Course Videos [Checklist]
1. Know your students by name
2. Create videos for your online class
Instructor “Welcome Video”
These videos – especially for a web-based course – helps build the relationship between instructors and students
Course navigation video
Short video lessons
3. Track student performance
Seeing results – how to engage students in online courses
Create Effective Course Videos [Checklist]
Content: If a student isn’t able to attend, they have the ability to review the content and get caught up before the next course.” Students can even download entire videos and watch them when they don’t have an internet connection, such as when they’re on the road. Add quizzes at specific points within videos to make them interactive and engage students in online learning. For example, you can add a quiz to check comprehension after each of the main points in your lecture. You could ask an essay question so students can show an example of what they’ve learned. The latest video platforms offer easy ways to add quizzing, and then automatically report quiz results to the Learning Management System (LMS) gradebook or Excel file. In addition to being a great way to gauge student learning, in-video quizzing decreases mind-wandering and helps students retain the information. Record on-the-go to create in-the-moment teachable content that goes beyond the walls of your classroom. Instructors can record from anywhere outside the classroom. Students love it, and it helps build that personal connection between students and instructors.

Content: Your mind may still wander away, but you can learn to catch it and bring your focus back to the discussion. By practicing it multiple times, it will become easier to not only listen to the other person but also retain a large part of the information. Step 2: Draw meaningful insights
Holding so much information in our brain without comprehending can be emotionally challenging at first. But, it does give way to better insights later. Once you have all the verbal and non-verbal data, process it with additional context. Apply your previous knowledge about the person or situation and take cues from the current information to determine what the person intends to say. Place less weight on language and choice of words and more on the emotions to get to the underlying message they wish to communicate. While drawing these insights, ask yourself “Is this what I observed and heard or is it a biased view limited by my own beliefs and experiences”. This form of powerful questioning can shift us to find more meaningful insights.

Active engagement throughout the conversation can make the person feel “heard” and open them up to sharing more details. Ask really good follow up questions to analyse the situation. As much as you may be tempted to provide solutions, hold yourself back. In most cases, good open ended questions help a person find a solution to a problem on their own.

Content: Step 3: Engage actively
Active engagement throughout the conversation can make the person feel “heard” and open them up to sharing more details. Ask really good follow up questions to analyse the situation. As much as you may be tempted to provide solutions, hold yourself back. In most cases, good open ended questions help a person find a solution to a problem on their own. And just because it’s their own idea, they will feel more committed to making a change. Refer to Paloma Medina’s Deeper Questions for a great list. If you find them stuck or struggling with solutions, offer your advice and seek feedback on their thoughts about it. Habits to Adopt Active Listening Technique
Active listening is a lot of hard work that requires continuous practice and training of the mind, managing human reactions, understanding what’s said in its entirety and not only what’s relevant to us. To actively listen requires awareness as a starting point followed by willingness to take small steps.

Content: Electronic devices have revolutionized the world of shopping, allowing online shoppers to buy millions of products with the tap of a finger or click of a mouse. Advertisement
Disadvantages of Electronic Gadgets
A small electronic gadget may seem harmless, but the manufacture and disposal of these devices have a significant impact on the global environment. Many devices contain hazardous materials such as lead, cadmium and mercury that can contaminate ground soil if not disposed of properly. The problem of disposal is compounded by the fact that consumers are urged to upgrade to new technology before their current devices wear out. Electronic devices can improve communication, but they are also blamed for social issues. While social media and other technology help many people strengthen relationships, others feel pressured to keep up a certain image on social media or are depressed after social media interactions. Children and teenagers are especially vulnerable to the social issues associated with smartphones and other gadgets that connect to the internet. There is also growing concern that overreliance on smartphones and other electronic gadgets leads to tech addiction. Advertisement
The ability to shop and conduct banking operations from a mobile device is convenient, but it brings an increased risk for identity theft and other serious crimes due to the breach of sensitive data by cybercriminals. Loss of privacy is another concern with electronic devices.

Computers and other electronics contain cadmium, lead, and brominated fire retardants and plastics that do not decompose normally and have a toxic breakdown.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be willing to take them off your hands. You could even try listing them for a small profit. This idea is great for someone busy or immobile b/c this takes the traveling part out of the equation most people from craigslist come pick the items up themselves.

A presentation with boring slides is a sure way to lose an audience. The key to a powerful PowerPoint slide deck is the addition of visual interest. Use PowerPoint picture transparency to add a faded image or background that won't overwhelm other slide content. Fade a Picture in PowerPoint
To add a picture to a slide and change its transparency, go to "Insert" and pick a shape from the "Shapes" menu, then use "Shape Fill" to place a picture of your choice within the shape. With the shape selected and the cursor within the shape's boundaries, click on the right mouse button and select "Format Picture" from the menu that pops up. " Transparency" is available under the "Fill" option. You can adjust the amount of transparency as a percentage, with 100 percent being fully transparent.

The Impact of the Internet on Globalization
The Impact of the Internet on Globalization

"Globalization" is a contemporary buzzword for a theory that is frequently debated in the media, and in political and academic circles. One definition of the term is it represents the global domination of Western cultural and economic values, while others interpret it more benignly as a breaking down of cultural and economic borders. The Internet is seen by some socio-economic commentators as a major driving force in creating a unified global community. There are both positive and negative impacts of the Internet and globalization. Advertisement
The Internet and Globalization
Without technology, globalization would probably not be a topic for discussion. In particular, communications technology, in which the Internet plays a major role, has revolutionized how people work, expanded the global knowledge base and provided a variety of ways of bringing people and cultures closer together. The Internet provides a platform where companies that are thousands of miles apart can communicate and share information. On a social and cultural level, the Internet provides access to the same music whether you are in Beijing, Boston or Beirut, and people can make new friends around the globe via social networking sites.

Effects on Business
The Internet and globalization have radically changed the business world. It has enabled companies to improve their competitive edge and increased productivity, simply because of the speed of access to information, and of electronic transactions. It allows a company based in the United States to have a customer service call center in Bangalore, staffed by highly-trained staff but with lower wage costs. On the other hand, the growth in Internet use by businesses globally also opens up new job markets for U.S. IT professionals and engineers, whose expertise is sought outside the home market.

Effects on Mass Media
The Internet has altered the structure of the mass media.

Negative Impact of the Internet
Content: Socyberty suggests one reason for this is that Internet users are information receivers rather than information creators. In some places, political control of the Internet means the government censors the Internet and bans access to certain websites. In effect, there is no universally equal access to the Internet, and this disadvantages people and businesses in developing nations who are unable to take advantage of the Internet's global potential.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: A Great American Preserve under Attack
Content: Although the initial Crusade was successful, later Crusades not only seemed to lose sight of their original purpose but also appeared to be an excuse for violence and thievery that damaged the reputation of the Catholic Church worldwide. The Crusades afterwards were only successful to the Third Crusade because the original crusades had a clear, organized, religious-based purpose, and later crusades outright failed due to ineptitude and greed. In 1095 Pope Urban II gave a sermon to the Council of Clermont in France urging nobles and peasants alike to join him on a holy war against the Muslims. Their mission: to reclaim the sacred land of Jerusalem from the “Saracens”. He tempted people to come together by promising them salvation from God and fame when the Crusaders (the word crusade derives from the French word “crois” which means “cross”) returned. Also, Pope Urban II assured his Crusaders gain wealth by pillage. Because of these assurances, thousands of people, both rich and poor, followed the Pope. “God wills it!” cried out the crusaders during the First Crusade (1095-1099).

The First Crusade was more organized and therefore better. They came into Asia Minor thorough Constantinople and were victorious in Syria. They reclaimed Jerusalem in 1099, and they ruthlessly murdered countless innocent Muslims and Jews (including children) on the way.

They reclaimed Jerusalem in 1099, and they ruthlessly murdered countless innocent Muslims and Jews (including children) on the way. Yet the Crusaders defended their acts by saying that the massacre was not sinful because the people weren’t Christians. In 1144, the Turks were able to capture Edessa, an important English outpost north of Antioch, Tripoli, Acre, and Jerusalem. Angered by the strike, Bernard of Clairvaux assembled another group of crusaders, thereby organizing the Second Crusade. This struggle was unsuccessful; their enemies were more prepared and Bernard of Clairvaux and his crusaders were incapable of reclaiming Edessa.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: A Great American Preserve under Attack
Content: the Peace of Ramla declared that the Muslims would be able to control Jerusalem, yet the Christians would be able to visit their sanctified city in peace. Most of the crusades afterwards lost view of their original principle; while many crusaders were riled up by religious faith and truly wanted to “save” their holy land, most people just wanted a reason to raid and loot cities. Also, they had no leader because the Peace of Ramla forbade it. People went as far as to send children into battle. This historic crusade is known as the Children’s Crusade, where as many as 20,000 European children (hardly any over the age of twelve) came together to march to Jerusalem under the command of a fourteen year old named Stephan. Most of the children died of starvation and exhaustion, while others were killed in shipwrecks. Those who made it to Jerusalem were sold into slavery. Unsurprisingly, this mission failed. In short, the First Crusade proved to be (while incredibly vicious) a success for the Christians.

Content: Both of the ideas he supports in his paper indicate that he was a great supporter of the ratification of the constitution. Also, this spurred the first American party system, being the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists, along with the concepts of lose and strict constructionism. These ideas are still fought over today where republicans take the side of strict constructionists, believing that the Constitution should be followed word-for-word, and democrats take the side of loose constructionists, believing that there must be room for interpretation. Overall, the American Revolution incited these great political revelations, and gave the founders concepts included in the Constitution that they would not have become aware of otherwise. Economically, Americans did not experience great amounts of change. The Philadelphia society for the promotion of agriculture, handed out a medal which said, “Venerate the Plough” [Document F]. This is a large example of how the rich were still “rewarding” the common-people who weren't necessarily better off after the revolution. This medal acted as a form of encouragement in the sense that it promoted the idea that the United States was filled with abundance, fertility, and freedom. Also, it supports Jeffersonian ideal of agrarian republicanism based on virtuous yeoman farmers where the common-people and the planters would have priority, and would experience equality, and political opportunity. Similarly to this, Shay's rebellion farmers, lead by the ex-military officer who “... [stopped] the courts of justice in several counties...crying out for a paper currency, [or] for an equal distribution of power” [Document G].
