Presentation Nowadays, one of the most far reaching apparatuses that is utilized in the PC supported instruction is PowerPoint introductions which give to transmit the course settings outwardly to the understudies (Atkins-Sayre et. al. 1998: 3). Initially PowerPoint was produced for business and business purposes by Microsoft before roughly 20 years.However it has immediately entered the logical and instructive circles also (Szabo and Hastings 2000: 176). Microsoft gauges that 1. 25 million PowerPoint introductions happen each hour (Levasseur and Sawyer 2006: 101). In the conventional instruction conditions, the obligation of the understudies is to follow the training exercises as a uninvolved recipient and remember the substance of the exercise (Surmeli 2007: 30). PowerPoint introductions make all the more impressive tangible cautions when contrasted and the conventional training materials (chalkboard, overhead projections, and so on. While giving the exercises with PowerPoint introductions, the substance of the exercise remains the equivalent, yet the type of transmitting the exercise to the understudy changes. The PowerPoint introductions which are set up for exercises have the points of interest, for example, having solid hues, continuous structure of text, straightforward activity of graphs, offices for basic altering and refreshing (Lowry 1999:19).

Exercise Your Editing with This Exercise

Exercise Your Editing with This Exercise Exercise Your Editing with This Exercise Exercise Your Editing with This Exercise By Mark Nichol Altering is as much a workmanship as composing may be. Regardless of whether you’re finessing your own composition or amending crafted by another, the procedure requires synchronous thoughtfulness regarding different issues: spelling, language, style, precision, custom, and the abstract part of substance: giving setting, appointing importance and passing on worth, and the sky is the limit from there. At the point when I was a copyediting teacher, one of my preferred exercises was making mistake ridden altering practices for my understudies. (Cruel, I know yet they got their money’s worth.) Here, I perpetrate one such compositional grouping of cataclysm of on you for nothing out of pocket. Be that as it may, before you read past the accompanying section, reorder it and give it your best altering exertion, at that point return and contrast your modification and mine: â€Å"On Jan. twentieth, 1960 then-President John Kennedy conveyed his infamous Ask Not What You Can Do for Your Country Speech. Kennedy propelled not just America’s Space Program that sent men to the moon, however faced Russia when they undermined the free world during the rocket emergency. During his Presidency, Peace Corps was shaped; the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty was marked by the Soviets; and the Civil Rights Act was passed. (Nonetheless, he lurched when, in a discourse in Berlin in 1963, he told the Germans, â€Å"Ich canister ein Berliner.† He proposed to convey â€Å"I am a Berliner,† yet the manner in which he said it implied, â€Å"I am a jam doughnut.†) Only 42-years of age when chosen, the most youthful president, his inheritance is an under multi year administration contrasted and Camelot.† Here’s my handy solution, trailed by explanations: â€Å"President John F. Kennedy’s debut address on January 20, 1961, is noteworthy for the announcement â€Å"Ask not what your nation can accomplish for you approach what you can accomplish for your country,† and he addressed his own test. During his organization, he not just squeezed for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to accomplish a kept an eye on arriving on the Moon before the finish of the 1960s yet additionally faced the Soviet Union over that country’s plan to introduce atomic weapons in Cuba that would be focused on the United States. Additionally, during Kennedy’s administration, heartbreakingly contracted when he was killed on November 22, 1963, the Peace Corps was framed; the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom marked the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty; and Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The heritage of Kennedy, just forty-two years of age when he was chosen, is of a short time of harmony and thriving; in reality, his organization was contrasted with the magnificence of King Arthur’s Camelot.† Note the adjustment of the style of the month and date, and revision of the year itself. Our thirty-fifth president’s name is John F. Kennedy. On the off chance that I had held â€Å"then-President† before Kennedy’s name, I would discard the hyphen and lowercase the name of the workplace, which in light of the modifier at that point turns into a sobriquet instead of a particular activity title. Since Kennedy’s debut address is remarkable for different extracts also, I picked, in recognizing it, to concentrate on the line giving it completely and not on the discourse. However, on the off chance that you do allude to a discourse, style the reference as follows: â€Å"his ‘Ask not what you can for your country’ speech.† (Also, infamous isn't a well-suited depiction for the location.) On the off chance that I were altering somebody else’s work, I would inquiry for the writer’s endorsement of addition of â€Å"he addressed his own challenge,† which I think gives a progress to what might some way or another be just a basic food item rundown of achievements. I revised the mistaken â€Å"not just . . . in any case, also† development. There is no such substance as â€Å"America’s Space Program,† so the last two words ought not have been promoted. (Also, at whatever point conceivable, utilize the more exact â€Å"United States† instead of America regarding the country.) In this unique circumstance, moon is the proper name of a cosmic element, as opposed to a nonexclusive word for such a marvel, and ought to in this way be promoted. In spite of the fact that Russia is a casual option to â€Å"the Soviet Union,† it ought to be evaded in such use. (â€Å"The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics† was the official name of the nation during this period, however the two-word adaptation is satisfactory.) A country is a solitary element and ought not be alluded to as â€Å"they.† â€Å"Free world† is emotional and provocative in this in any case impartially composed entry. In light of the absence of particularity and capitalization, â€Å"the rocket crisis† infers a past reference to the occurrence. It ought to be alluded to by its promoted complete name. As composed, the sentence starting â€Å"During his Presidency† (there is no motivation to underwrite administration, incidentally) requires just commas, not semicolons. I held the last accentuation stamps simply because I changed the rundown of accomplishments in a perplexing structure, with interior commas in the subsequent thing. I likewise modified the uninvolved development to dynamic structure. I embedded the expression about his death to give setting. â€Å"Peace Corps,† like the comparatively developed names of most substances, ought to be gone before by the article the. A few countries marked the arrangement, and if any are distinguished, all ought to be recognized. The expression â€Å"of 1964† is a piece of the proper name of the demonstration. The â€Å"Ich receptacle ein Berliner† blunder is a prevalent misconception; inhabitants of Berlin didn't, and don't, call jam doughnuts â€Å"Berliner.† (Beyond that, regardless of whether the story were valid, the episode is minor when contrasted and different features of Kennedy’s administration recorded here, and the entry gives deficient setting.) A person’s age, when not applied as a modifier, ought not be hyphenated (with the exception of connecting ones-spot and tens-place numbers, as in forty-two). Additionally, I want to follow The Chicago Manual of Style in explaining ages. The principal expression of the last sentence is a dangling modifier; â€Å"the . . . president† is inaccurately distinguished as his own inheritance. â€Å"The most youthful president† is a clumsily shortened interposition. My progressively expanded incidental is just one of a few prospects. The expression â€Å"less than three year,† as a modifier for administration, ought to be hyphenated; I erased the whole expression since it appeared to divert from the purpose of the entry. Additionally, there was inadequate setting for the reference to Camelot. This section could be altered in the same number of renditions as there are editors, and, given further setting, would be additionally improved by extra changes. My exertion takes care of the insufficiencies in the few classifications I recorded in the primary passage of this post.

By encouraging others to invest, as well as by investing millions of dollars into the entrepreneur market, the government is leading by example and is setting the standard for innovation. Not content to wait for others to invest, the government is making entrepreneurship in Singapore extremely attractive and competitive â€" ensuring that they will remain a strong force in the business world.5. AVAILABILITY OF LOCAL RESOURCES AND WORKFORCEDrawn by the temperate climate, Singapore residents can be assured that almost every day will be like the one before, at least weather-wise. The weather remains hot and rainy year-round. There are no extreme temperatures, and the nation has one of the best air quality conditions in Asia. Typhoons, earthquakes and tsunamis are nonâ€"existent in Singapore, thanks to the country’s distance from fault lines in the earth.Highly educated citizens make up the local workforce in Singapore, making it one of its most valuable resources. Consistently ranked among the top five nations in the world for math and science, the Singapore citizen has several higher education institutions to choose from that will continue to grow the available market. A continued push towards research, innovation and design needs to be instituted to encourage collaboration between organizations. Expanding the polytechnics fields will require more focus on design, experimenting and building.There are several labs already in place that are geared towards encouraging entrepreneurs to work together to generate start-ups. One lab boasts of several floors that are each geared towards different aspects of the tech market. Different elements of design are all brought together in one location, which will encourage the general public to use the tools available, as well as establish a central hub for innovative thinking and creative work. With graphic des ign, tech shops and a sandbox type environment where designers can create, test, play and replicate their technology ideas, the tech market in Singapore is brimming with potential.In the last several years, Singapore has drawn start-ups from Australia, New Zealand, and India. The addition of foreign start-ups who move to the Asian city for the attractive start-up climate has generated additional interest in the tech industry of the country. While there has not been a ‘big exit’ of a company, recent acquisitions have indicated that one is just around the corner. The millions of dollars that have poured into the start-up ecosystem are helping to draw not only local entrepreneurs, but overseas investors.6. SPECIALIZATION Asia draws visitors from around the world. In today’s thriving marketplace, the Asian sector has re-invented itself as a pivotal player in the race to the top of the start-up hub environment. Singapore is leading the way in their corner of the world as the number one Asian start-up city and is gaining an increasing foothold into the market of biomedical science. Relatively simple start-up procedures, a thriving incubator community and friendly governmental policies all converge into what business experts have begun to call Asia’s Silicon Valley.What sets the comparatively small Singapore apart from its larger counterparts? According to leaders in the Singapore business community, Singapore has no real desire to earn the Silicon Valley comparison. Silicon Valley is a unique environment that thrives because of the elements that make up the community. In Singapore, the idea of creating a place that will partner with companies and governments in a global outreach is the primary focus . Instead of trying to outwit the competition, they’d prefer to be a part of the larger efforts to improve the world. Indeed, if a company wants to establish themselves in the Asian marketplace, they will find it difficult to do without going through Singapore. © Shutterstock.com | EkkachaiIn this article about Singapore, we look at  six essential elements  of a potential start-up location that must be considered: 1)  location, 2)  tax incentives, 3)  legal incentives, 4)  availability of investors, 5)  local resources and workforce, and 6)  specialization.1. LOCATIONWhile many people may be familiar with Singapore, few could pinpoint it on a world map. Mistakenly, many people assume that the city is a part of China. Located in Southeast Asia, Singapore is a sovereign city-state that made up of one main island (Singapore Island) and a collection of approximately 60 additional, smaller islands. Strategically positioned on the point of Malaysia, it sits perfectly situated between China, Indonesia, and India.Within range of just a short plane ride, there are approximately 500 million people. It has been estimated that half of the world’s population is accessible from Singapore in less than six hours. For any company that wants to establish a presence in the Asian marketplace, Singapore is the gateway. The push for the wealthy, young (early 20’s) demographic of consumers is growing and in that corner of the world Singapore offers the easiest and most convenient way to reach this rising market.The economy in Singapore is booming. As one of the world’s busiest ports, it has a trade dependent economy and has a large manufacturing sector. It boasts the largest collection of millionaires: there is a millionaire in one out of six households. With a population nearing 500,000, almost 40 percent of the residents are foreign transplants which brings a global perspective to the nation. In addition, the close proximity to other countries makes it easy for young entrepreneurs to make the move to the up and coming marketplace of Singapore.The combination of the location and the diverse population creates an environment that is ripe for the entrepreneurial culture that has driven Singapore to become one of the world’s leading start-up hubs.Gadget Nation: The Startup Communities in Singapore 2. TAX INCENTIVESExtremely attractive tax rates for companies and start-ups in Singapore make this city-state one of the world’s friendliest countries to start a business. An easy to understand and business friendly graduated tax plan draws start-up companies from all over the world. For the first three years, companies with income of under $100,000 pay no taxes. After that, they pay 8.5% for income up to $300,000. Continuing after the third year, the company pays 8.5% tax on income up to $300,000 and a flat 17% for income larger than that.In addition, Singapore is considered one of the most popular tax havens with a low tax rate for personal income, as well as tax exemptions for capital gains and foreign income. The Finance and Treasury Department of Singapore is working to leverage Singapore as a leading base for corporations who wish to implement growth strategies and target the Asian market. By offering corporat e tax rates which are reduced on fees, interest and gains and dividends, the government is encouraging both entrepreneurial spirit and investment opportunities.Through cash grants, start-up seed investors, equity investors and business incubators the investor has multiple opportunities to benefit from their investment into the start-up market. There are multiple tax incentives for both the start-up and the investor, adding to the premise that developing a start-up in Singapore is one of the easiest methods of job creation available in the market today.3. LEGAL INCENTIVESSingapore may be one of the world’s easiest countries to begin a start-up. Incorporating a business in Singapore is open to both foreigners and citizens, and is typically completed within several days. In addition, the costs of incorporation are low â€" foreigners can expect to pay no more than $800, a majority of the costs mainly due to the requirement of using an incorporation service. There are no residency visa s required. In fact, residence in Singapore isn’t even a requirement. Should the entrepreneur wish to live in Singapore, there are Entrepreneur Passes and Employment Passes available to make that possible.One of the few requirements for incorporating in Singapore is the necessity of a bank account in the country. Banking is equally as welcoming to start-ups â€" several banks don’t require a physical presence in Singapore to open an account, although the rates may be a bit higher.Additionally attractive to the tech market is Singapore’s strong stance on IP rights protection. The strong framework to protect the rights of entrepreneurs who are doing business in Singapore has led to the country’s ranking as one of the best in the world. This safe environment is one of the leading reasons why over 30 biomedical science companies have made Singapore their home, and is why more tech companies are likely to be drawn to the Asian nation.4. AVAILABILITY OF INVESTORSHigh interest in th e tech market of Singapore, combined with the immense wealth of the country has a large number of potential investors allocated within the country.Joyful Frog Digital Incubator is one of the largest accelerators in Singapore, with a 60% success rate for investments in start-ups. Through their programs, start-ups are given intensive mentorship for the first 100 days of funding and they average $520,000 in funding raised per group. They are uniquely positioned to help propel Singapore into the future with a heavy focus on tech companies.The Spring SEEDS (Startup Enterprise Development Scheme) program is a unique program funded in part by the government. Eligible new companies must have $40,000 in capital, along with a corporate investor of $400,000. The government of Singapore will then match that investment (up to $800,000) in exchange for shares in the new company.The BANSEA (Business Angel Network Southeast Asia) organization is dedicated to introducing start-ups to angel groups. H igh investments of up to $1,000,000 are typical of the angel groups, and the investors of BANSEA have high expectations for their returns on investments. Within eight years, the BANSEA group expects to have recouped at least ten times their initial investment.Strong governmental support and interest in the start-up markets of Singapore help to generate not only funds but interest in the tech industry of the country.

SPECIALIZATIONSingapore is on track to build a pipeline of tech start-ups that have a global scale. With a strategic partnership between the IIPL (Infocomm Investments Pte Ltd) and JFDI (Joyful Frog Digital Incubator), Singapore is actively working to launch 500 tech industry start-ups in the next five years. This partnership has the potential to discover, introduce, fund and mentor start-ups in the highly competitive tech market with the express purpose of launching global companies that can solidify Singapore’s position as a leader in start-up hubs.

The Argument Of Active And Passive Euthanasia - 1240 Words

Tyisha Webster April 25, 2015 Applied Ethics Professor Cobb Project # 3 This essay will aim to focus on the arguments that author, James Rachel’s presents in his article, Active and Passive Euthanasia,† In his article Rachel’s argues that both passive and active euthanasia are morally permissible and the doctors that is supported by the American Medical Association(AMA) is believed to be unsound. In this paper I will offer a thorough analysis of Rachel’s essay then so offer a critique in opposition of his arguments. In conclusion I will refute these oppositions claims by defending Rachel’s argument, and showing why I believe his claims that both active and passive euthanasia are morally permissible, to be effective. According to Webster’s dictionary the term euthanasia Is defined as, â€Å" the act or practice of killing someone who is very sick or injured in order to prevent any more suffering.† Now then there are two primary types of euthanasia according to Rachel’s. We have Passive Euthanasia in which the physician does nothing to bring about the death of the patient. By this physician doing nothing, ceasing treatment, the patient dies of the illness he already was diagnosed with. The patient dies of natural causes. The doctor is therefore letting the patient die. Then we have Active Euthanasia were the physician does something to bring about the death of the patient.

Queen Hatshepsut free essay sample

The forerunner of such great figures as Catherine the Great, Cleopatra, and Elizabeth I, Queen Hatshepsut earned her place as one of the greatest women recorded in history. Going against all conventions of her era many still believe she was one of the most influential pharaohs of all time. Mystery has it that no one has been able to find any true remnants of the notable queen, but after many years of searching, some historians believe they have discovered the answers as to why. Daughter of Thutmose I, and royal wife of Thutmose II, Hatshepsut was proclaimed from birth to be the heir of â€Å"Upper and Lower Egypt. Upon the death of her husband she announced herself as Pharaoh of Egypt denying the old king’s son, her nephew, his rightful inheritance. The new queen supported her actions by stating that she had been chosen by the god Amun-Ra who called upon her, â€Å"My sweet daughter, Welcome. We will write a custom essay sample on Queen Hatshepsut or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page † Historians believe Hatshepsut began her twenty-two year reign in 1479 BC. The situation did not come unprecedented, although it was uncommon for Egypt to be ruled by a woman. At the height of her reign Queen Hatshepsut brought great wealth and power to Egypt restoring once severed trade agreements and multiple building projects. Her most famous including twin Obelisks, the two tallest structures in the world at the time, erected at the entrance of her temple were among her many accomplishments. Eventually her stepson/nephew, Thutmose III, grew into a young man and upon her death became her successor. There has been great mystery left as to what happened to the remnants of Queen Hatshepsut. Historians believe that she was buried alongside her father in a tomb constructed during her dynasty. Egyptologists concluded that she was later removed from the tomb and placed into another next to her wet nurse. The new King soon ordered that her name be removed from all temple walls. The buildings and statues constructed in her honor were immediately demolished and defaced by his army. Her cartouches and images destroyed leaving obvious gaps in the late queen’s artwork. Historians believe that the mystery behind Thutmose’s actions stem directly from his own dislike for his stepmother. Towards the end of his reign, Thutmose III son Amenhotep II, his soon to be successor, made one last attempt to have his father remove Hatshepsut from all historical record. He convinced him hat by doing so he could erase all female breaks in the royal Thutmose male lineage. Both theories sound plausible, but physical evidence suggests that the best answer to this mystery lies in the resentment Thutmose III held for the late Queen. Taking credit for her accomplishments in attempts to completely remove her from Egyptian history was a minor step in his master plan. In 1903 archaeologist Howard Cart er, most famous for discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun, began clearing the tomb of Hatshepsut discovering numerous funerary furniture pieces, lioness thrones, game boards, and jewelry. A mummified liver and spleen were discovered inside an ivory coffer inscribed with the queen’s name, suggesting that it could be where she had been buried. A tooth was later discovered and was found to fit the second mummy inside the tomb of the wet nurse. Historians have yet to find conclusive evidence proves that those are the remains of Queen Hatshepsut, but her reign during the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt was a prosperous one, yet mysteriously she was erased from Egyptian history. Their hope is that these artifacts and discoveries will help shed light on this mystery and on the mysterious nature of her death.
