Resonate: Present Visual Stories that Transform Audiences




Book Description

September 28, 2010  0470632011  978-0470632017 1
Presentations are meant to inform, inspire, and persuade audiences. So why then do so many audiences leave feeling like they've wasted their time? All too often, presentations don't resonate with the audience and move them to transformative action.
Just as the author's first book helped presenters become visual communicators, Resonate helps you make a strong connection with your audience and lead them to purposeful action. The author's approach is simple: building a presentation today is a bit like writing a documentary. Using this approach, you'll convey your content with passion, persuasion, and impact.
  • Author has a proven track record, including having created the slides in Al Gore's Oscar-winning An Inconvenient Truth
  • Focuses on content development methodologies that are not only fundamental but will move people to action
  • Upends the usual paradigm by making the audience the hero and the presenter the mentor
  • Shows how to use story techniques of conflict and resolution
Presentations don't have to be boring ordeals. You can make them fun, exciting, and full of meaning. Leave your audiences energized and ready to take action with Resonate.

Getting started with Cryptpad in Ubuntu: step by step

Unzip the file you got to a location you want. You will start mongodb from there, or add this directory to your PATH variable so you can start mongodb from anywhere. 3. Suppose that you chose the easier way, i.e start mongodb from its directory. 4. Open Terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T for shortcut), move to the directory of mongodb 5. Type: mkdir db mongod --dbpath=./db These above commands will first, create a directory 'db' insider the directory mongodb, then start mongodb server. 6.

Install latest R (3.2.5) on Debian Jessie

Installing R on Ubuntu/Debian is quite painful, especially when you want to install the latest version. I have no clue why this situation stills for a long time, but this is a way to work around. On terminal: ```bash Appends the CRAN repository to your sources.list file You could replace jessie-cran3 by the newer one Find the correct value at https://cloud.r-project.org/ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/debian jessie-cran3/" >> /etc/apt/sources.list' Adds the CRAN GPG key, which is used to sign the R packages for security. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key 381BA480 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev ``` Installing h2o : ```bash to retrieve curl-config otherwise you may have a problem with RCurl sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev ``` R install.packages ("h2o")
