Denny's Does Not Deny Serving Horse Meat | Slog

Denny's Does Not Deny Serving Horse Meat | Slog | Public Relations & Social Media Insight | Scoop.it

Eater.com asked 11 fast-food chains in the U.S. whether they use horse meat. Ten of them said really, truly, unequivocally, NO.

 

But number 11?!


Denny's:

Reps said they were unable to provide comment.


Denny's did not deny serving horse meat.

 

Um, P.R. fail much?!?!?

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Media trainers alert... ;-)

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Useful tool for presenters.

Robin Good's curator insight, Today, 9:30 AM



MagPointer is a downloadable Windows PC software which provides a set of highlighting tools to support the delivery of a PowerPoint presentation.


MagPointer leverages in-depth PowerPoint traits and characteristics, enabling the user to highlight and manipulate easily objects inside any slide.


The toolset includes:

  • Selecting and enlarging a specific slide object
  • Creating frames around specific elements present on a slide
  • Laser pointer
  • Zooming tool
  • Dimming screen outside of the highlighted area
  • Magnify and freeze
  • Element Highlighting tool


MagPointer auto-activates itself when you are in PowerPoint slideshow mode and it appears on the right side of the screen as a vertical toolbar.


It can be used only in conjunction with PowerPoint.


My comment: Very useful tool for presenter and effective feature set. The integrated features and tools are very useful but when MagPointer is active I dislike seeing subtle grey areas appear under every object in a slide. Usability leaves something to be desired especially when it comes to the vertical toolbar and cursor-contextual menu. Could prove very useful and handy for certain trainers/educators who find themselevs at ease with this small downsides.

How to turn your power point sales presentations into a “Buying Simulator" -- via Stories | Public Relations & Social Media Insight | Scoop.it

I love this article and am using its tips and outline this week for several presentations I am doing. While it is focused on sales, this post follows the same pattern I use when teaching my MBA students on business communication and influential presentations.

Keep this article/outline handy because it works!!

Synchronize Presentation Slides with Speaker Video from an Event - The 10 Best Tools | Public Relations & Social Media Insight | Scoop.it

Robin Good: If you are looking for a tool or service that would allow you to sync up the video of you speaking at an event with the slides that were being projected, into a seamsless, web-shareable presentation, I have put together this small collection of ten tools designed just for this.

 

I have noted for each one whether there is a free account and how much does it cost the lowest "pro" version.
