  • Here are the five rules you need to remember to create amazing Powerpoint presentations: No more than six words on a slide. EVER. There is no presentation so complex that this rule needs to be broken. No cheesy images. Use professional stock photo images. No dissolves, spins or other transitions. Sound effects can be used a few times per presentation, but never use the sound effects that are built in to the program. Instead, rip sounds and music from CDs and leverage the Proustian effect this can have. If people start bouncing up and down to the Grateful Dead, you’ve kept them from falling asleep, and you’ve reminded them that this isn’t a typical meeting you’re running. Don’t hand out print-outs of your slides. They don’t work without you there.
  • Powerpoint could be the most powerful tool on your computer. But it’s not. Countless innovations fail because their champions use PowerPoint the way Microsoft wants them to, instead of the right way. Communication is the transfer of emotion.

      Although this sentence is intended to show company responsibility, it could backfire by creating the thought in the reader's mind that the mine processes are damaging to the environment. The use of 'affecting not only our present, but the future for generations to come' is intended to refer to the company's attention to minimizing impacts, but it could easily be interpreted to the negative effects themselves affecting generations for years to come. You could present the information in a more positive instead of a negative light, by saying what the company is doing to minimize operational impacts, without saying that the impacts are negative, and without pairing it directly with the thought that future generations are involved.

What's Wrong with Abortion - the case against abortion - 3 views

  • ul II writes:
  • The common outcry, which is justly made on behalf of human rights -- for example, the right to health, to home, to work, to family, to culture -- is false and illusory if the right to life is not defended with maximum determination.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      This is an appeal to religion (since the authors quote a religious authority figure) as well as to morality. Without providing any kind of evidence, the authors attempt to convince people by telling them that it is their duty to oppose abortion.

    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      This is a personal argument based on the author's own personal experience. Although it shows what can happen, the author makes it seem as though it is an inevitable result of abortion. However, it cannot be generalized as other people may have had different experiences and feel differently about the issue.

      These pictures try to persuade people by making them believe that God does not condone abortion. It is also a reference to our 'playing God', which happens to be a common religious argument against scientific advancements. Furthermore, the depiction of children serves to demonstrate that children are an essential part of 'God's plan' and must, therefore, be protected. They also look weak and defenseless, which elicits an emotional response also known as the mother's / father's instinct.

      This is a picture of a 14-week old fetus. It, too, is supposed to elicit an emotional response, or a protective instinct. Since the 'baby' is fully recognizable as a 'human being' (due to the fact that it certainly looks like one), it serves to reinforce the argument that abortion is murder.

      Pathos
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      The aborted fetus is supposed to make one feel disgusted and devastated as well as angry and sad. However, this is an 11-week old fetus (as opposed to the 14-week old fetus). It may be the case that there is a fundamental difference between an 11-week old and a 14-week old fetus in terms of their development into an actual human being.

      Pathos & attempt at logos
  • I'll call this girl "Sara."
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      By giving the fetus a name and referring to it as "girl", the authors emphasize that it is (in their opinion, that is) a human being.
  • Sara could not protect herself while the "doctor" cut her head off with fore snips. This is what abortion looks like.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      This brutal description of what happened to the fetus in the picture once again elicits a strong emotional response. In addition to that, the author also fails to mention that there may be more to abortion than the 'killing' of 'human beings'.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      Pathos
  • Sara will never learn how skip or play hopscotch. She will never experience her first date or the prom.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      This is an appeal to emotion. The authors make the readers recall certain significant past events such as their prom or their first date. By doing so, the reader is forced to think about what it would have been like if it had been him or her and the authors successfully make it a very personal issue.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      Pathos
  • Sara has been denied the right to vote, the right to freedom of speech, the right to work. All these things that women have worked so hard to achieve have been denied to Sara.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      The authors then go on to argue that abortion is not only morally wrong but also politically wrong as it takes away several rights from a 'human being'. Furthermore, they compare it to feminist issues (which is also why they chose to call the fetus "Sara" and refer to it as a "girl"), thereby appealing to women and especially to feminists (whether they be male or female).
  • This first question we must ask ourselves when considering our opinion on abortion is this: "Is something being killed?" Everyone familiar with biology will answer yes. The next question is "What is being killed?" A simple way to answer this is to ask "Does it have DNA? The answer is yes. What kind is it? Human. The DNA at 5 minutes after conception is identical to the DNA 85 years after conception.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      The authors try to argue deductively. However, they assume that everything they say is based on nothing but facts even though they never prove that everything that 'has human DNA' is in fact a fully developed human being.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      Attempt at logos
  • Every major abortion rights organization and doctor admits it is a human being.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      The authors present this as a fact even though it is still a very controversial issue.
  • "Jane Roe" in the case has since said it was the worse mistake she ever made. How come you never hear that in the main stream media? She was a puppet for an abortion agenda, another example of the abortion industry's abuse of young women.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      The authors try to persuade the readers that the women who decide to get an abortion are actually victims. Surely, some of them regret it but there are also women who do not regret it. By taking one example and presenting it as a general rule of thumb, the authors redirect the reader's anger toward the authorities and the institutions that support abortion.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      Ethos
  • Abortion is not the first time this word game of personhood vs. humanity has been played with human life. During the slave trade, it was acknowledged that black people were human beings, but not "persons". During the Holocaust, Hitler acknowledged that Jews were human beings. That's why he performed horrible experiments on them, but he did not acknowledge their "personhood."
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      By comparing abortion to slavery and to the Holocaust, the authors once again elicit a strong emotional and moral response that leads to the readers thinking about the wrongness of the act. Abortion is thereby inevitably depicted as a crime (or even genocide), which is an attempt to make people want to oppose it.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      It seems like the authors are trying to make it look like an appeal to logos rather than pathos.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      Once again, this picture's purpose is to convince people that fetuses are fully developed human beings and that nothing really distinguishes them from any of us.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      However, just because the fetus is comprised of 46 chromosomes does not necessarily mean that a fetus is the same as a newborn baby.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      Attempt at logos
  • A newborn is not as well developed as a toddler. I am more developed than toddler.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      This comparison is invalid since the real question is whether a fetus is "alive" yet. Toddlers and the authors are without a doubt alive. Yet, the authors' use of an analogy is quite interesting as it seems to be an attempt to appeal to logic.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      Attempt at logs
  • Yes the unborn baby lives in a unique environment. But I do not cease becoming a human when I travel to work, or home. Environment does not determine personhood.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      Once again, this analogy is invalid. One's workplace and one's home are both situated in a world outside of the womb whereas a fetus is not a part of 'our' world yet.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      Attempt at logos
  • In the last 30 years approximately 21,500,000 women have died violent deaths in the United States. They have had their arms ripped off, they have had their legs ripped off, they have had their heads cut off. These women were defenceless, they could not speak out to defend themselves. They remained silent as they were brutally murdered. These women were not fully grown. They were waiting to be born. These women died from abortion. Most abortionists are men who say that they are in favour of women's rights and they say they shun violence against women. Obviously, they are not in favour of the rights of women in the womb.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      Once again, the authors appeal to feminism and claim (without any evidence) that abortion is, indeed, murder. They are thereby taking the peripheral route rather than the central route to persuasion as they focus on the emotional rather than the factual / logical aspects of the matter.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      Pathos
  • Half of women carrying babies have a little boy inside them with a penis. Is that penis a part of her body? That would be a first.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      The authors' use of sarcasm is quite effective in this case as it helps make a point regarding the difference between a woman's body and the fetus's body.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      Logos
  • The abortion industry is a multi billion dollar industry and Planned Parenthood is now exporting this industry to countries around the world like a McDonald's franchise.  I just attended a summit on "Population Control" in Ottawa. It is scary to think that we are now trying to export abortion to countries around the world the way we export wheat. Much of this is being paid by our governments.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      Making it seem as though abortion is but a business distracts from other aspects of it such as 'abortion as a result of rape' etc. and redirects anger toward the institutions that support it. Hence, people's desire to put an end to abortion grows (if they do not critically reflect on it, that is). 
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      Pathos
  • I believe that as Christians we are obligated to step in. The Bible makes it clear that it is wrong to stand by as innocent blood is shed. (Deut 21:5, 7-9; Ezk 22:3-4, Is 1:15-16, Lev 18:21. ) Ruben rescued Joseph (Gn 37:21-22), Hebrew midwives rescued baby boys from the infanticide of Pharaoh (Ex 1:17) The solders of Saul rescued Jonathan from murder (1 Sam 14:45), Obadiah rescued 100 prophets from Jezebel. Esther risked her life to save her people from genocide.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      Once again, this is an approach to religion and morality and abortion is depicted as murder and genocide. This also elicits an emotional response.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      Ethos
  • 23,000 couples in Canada and 230,000 couples in the US want to adopt children. Many go overseas to find babies because North Americans abort the majority of our unwanted babies.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      The authors distract from the real issue at hand and even blame women who decide to have an abortion for the hardship of couples who wish to adopt a child. This might actually help win them over, too.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      Logos
  • "Oh Lord give us the strength to not only experience our horror at this holocaust but the courageously stand up and be counted and to follow the heroes who brought down the slave trade and those who saved Jews from the Holocaust."
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      The repetition of a previously mentioned idea only re-emphasizes its importance and elicits the same emotional response again (and perhaps even a stronger one than before).

      Pathos
  • after the Genome project
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      Mentioning the Human Genome Project makes the authors' claim seem more factual and believable.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 04 Mar 12
       
      Ethos
  • Fertilization is the miracle moment, and all 46 chromosomes are coming together. It's when life begins. It is new human life.
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      The description of the process ('a miracle') once again adds a religious or a spiritual aspect to it. Claiming that it is in fact a 'new human life' ignores the actual controversy around the issue and effectively introduces the next and final argument.
  • It is the killing of an innocent human. Lord Jesus, let Your prayer of unity for Christians become a reality, in Your way we have absolute confidence that you can bring your people together we give you absolute permission to move Amen
    • Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo
      Marcus Ramirez-Santoyo on 28 Feb 12
       
      Repeating the main statement (it is murder) and ending the discussion with a 'prayer' emphasizes the wrongness of the act as well as the religious aspect of it. We should not play God because 'in Your way [God's way] we have absolute confidence', meaning that if God wanted it to happen it would happen naturally (by itself). Furthermore, ending the discussion the same it started is also very effective as it demonstrates that it is now 'complete' (like a 'vicious' cycle that one cannot escape).

Hearing Disorders in Children With Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: Findings From Case Reports - 0 views

    Fourteen children with the fetal alcohol syndrome were evaluated by standard audiologic procedures. Thirteen of the 14 children had childhood histories of hearing disorders. All 13 of these children (93%) had clinically significant histories of bilateral recurrent serous otitis media (ie, they were otitis prone), and at least four children (29%) had bilateral sensorineural hearing losses in addition to being otitis prone. Many of the children with recurrent serous otitis media required repeated myringotomies with placement of ventilation tubes, and those with sensorineural hearing losses required sound amplification during childhood. Recurrent respiratory infections (secondary to immune deficiencies) and eustachian tube dysfunction (secondary to embryonic malformations of the first and second branchial arches) are discussed as possible etiologic factors in the presence of the recurrent serous otitis media. An alcohol-induced neuroectoderm syndrome and alcohol ototoxicity are discussed as possible etiologic factors in the occurrence of sensorineural hearing loss. The findings suggest that hearing disorders are a heretofore unrecognized characteristic of the fetal alcohol syndrome. Such hearing disorders may contribute to the speech and language and learning difficulties seen in children with fetal alcohol syndrome. The present study also provided confirmatory evidence of visual, health, and speech and language disorders in

      This is ethos because people listen to the physicians and researchers because of the label they have made for themselves.
  • Cancer is ultimately the result of cells that uncontrollably grow and do not die. Normal cells in the body follow an orderly path of growth, division, and death. Programmed cell death is called apoptosis, and when this process breaks down, cancer begins to form. Unlike regular cells, cancer cells do not experience programmatic death and instead continue to grow and divide. This leads to a mass of abnormal cells that grows out of control.

      This is logos because it depends on rationality, reason and proof.
  • Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by out-of-control cell growth. There are over 100 different types of cancer, and each is classified by the type of cell that is initially affected.

      This is logos because its is purely based on logic.
  • Cancer harms the body when damaged cells divide uncontrollably to form lumps or masses of tissue called tumors (except in the case of leukemia where cancer prohibits normal blood function by abnormal cell division in the blood stream). Tumors can grow and interfere with the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems, and they can release hormones that alter body function. Tumors that stay in one spot and demonstrate limited growth are generally considered to be benign.

  • A short, 3D, animated introduction to cancer. This was originally created by BioDigital Systems and used in the Stand Up 2 Cancer telethon.
  • Cells can experience uncontrolled growth if there are damages or mutations to DNA, and therefore, damage to the genes involved in cell division. Four key types of gene are responsible for the cell division process: oncogenes tell cells when to divide, tumor suppressor genes tell cells when not to divide, suicide genes control apoptosis and tell the cell to kill itself if something goes wrong, and DNA-repair genes instruct a cell to repair damaged DNA. Cancer occurs when a cell's gene mutations make the cell unable to correct DNA damage and unable to commit suicide. Similarly, cancer is a result of mutations that inhibit oncogene and tumor suppressor gene function, leading to uncontrollable cell growth.

      This is logos because it explains the growth of cancer and how it spreads.
  • Carcinogens are a class of substances that are directly responsible for damaging DNA, promoting or aiding cancer. Tobacco, asbestos, arsenic, radiation such as gamma and x-rays, the sun, and compounds in car exhaust fumes are all examples of carcinogens. When our bodies are exposed to carcinogens, free radicals are formed that try to steal electrons from other molecules in the body. Theses free radicals damage cells and affect their ability to function normally.

      This is logos because it tells what promotes cancer in an understanding and logical way.
  • Cancer treatment depends on the type of cancer, the stage of the cancer (how much it has spread), age, health status, and additional personal characteristics. There is no single treatment for cancer, and patients often receive a combination of therapies and palliative care. Treatments usually fall into one of the following categories: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, or gene therapy.
    • farouk hamood

      This is pathos because being treated through cancer is a very emotional experience for people that have to go through it.
  • Surgery is the oldest known treatment for cancer. If a cancer has not metastasized, it is possible to completely cure a patient by surgically removing the cancer from the body. This is often seen in the removal of the prostate or a breast or testicle. After the disease has spread, however, it is nearly impossible to remove all of the cancer cells. Surgery may also be instrumental in helping to control symptoms such as bowel obstruction or spinal cord compression.
    • farouk hamood
      farouk hamood on 02 Dec 10
       
      This is pathos because for a cancer patient to go through surgery, it takes tons out of them.
  • Radiation treatment, also known as radiotherapy, destroys cancer by focusing high-energy rays on the cancer cells. This causes damage to the molecules that make up the cancer cells and leads them to commit suicide. Radiotherapy utilizes high-energy gamma-rays that are emitted from metals such as radium or high-energy x-rays that are created in a special machine. Early radiation treatments caused severe side-effects because the energy beams would damage normal, healthy tissue, but technologies have improved so that beams can be more accurately targeted. Radiotherapy is used as a standalone treatment to shrink a tumor or destroy cancer cells (including those associated with leukemia and lymphoma), and it is also used in combination with other cancer treatments.

      This is pathos because going through radiation takes a lot out of anyone.
  • As cancer cells use the body's energy and interfere with normal hormone function, it is possible to present symptoms such as fever, fatigue, excessive sweating, anemia, and unexplained weight loss. However, these symptoms are common in several other maladies as well. For example, coughing and hoarseness can point to lung or throat cancer as well as several other conditions.
    • farouk hamood

      This is pathos because the symptoms of cancer bring people down tons.
  • There are five broad groups that are used to classify cancer. Carcinomas are characterized by cells that cover internal and external parts of the body such as lung, breast, and colon cancer. Sarcomas are characterized by cells that are located in bone, cartilage, fat, connective tissue, muscle, and other supportive tissues. Lymphomas are cancers that begin in the lymph nodes and immune system tissues. Leukemias are cancers that begin in the bone marrow and often accumulate in the bloodstream. Adenomas are cancers that arise in the thyroid, the pituitary gland, the adrenal gland, and other glandular tissues.

      This is logos because it tells the facts about how cancer is classified.
  • Early detection of cancer can greatly improve the odds of successful treatment and survival. Physicians use information from symptoms and several other procedures to diagnose cancer. Imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, PET scans, and ultrasound scans are used regularly in order to detect where a tumor is located and what organs may be affected by it. Doctors may also conduct an endoscopy, which is a procedure that uses a thin tube with a camera and light at one end, to look for abnormalities inside the body. Extracting cancer cells and looking at them under a microscope is the only absolute way to diagnose cancer. This procedure is called a biopsy. Other types of molecular diagnostic tests are frequently employed as well. Physicians will analyze your body's sugars, fats, proteins, and DNA at the molecular level. For example, cancerous prostate cells release a higher level of a chemical called PSA (prostate-specific antigen) into the bloodstream that can be detected by a blood test. Molecular diagnostics, biopsies, and imaging techniques are all used together to diagnose cancer.

      This is ethos because the information is clearly stated by a reliable source from the way they have put it.
  • Cancers that are closely linked to certain behaviors are the easiest to prevent. For example, choosing not to smoke tobacco or drink alcohol significantly lower the risk of several types of cancer - most notably lung, throat, mouth, and liver cancer. Even if you are a current tobacco user, quitting can still greatly reduce your chances of getting cancer. Skin cancer can be prevented by staying in the shade, protecting yourself with a hat and shirt when in the sun, and using sunscreen. Diet is also an important part of cancer prevention since what we eat has been linked to the disease. Physicians recommend diets that are low in fat and rich in fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Certain vaccinations have been associated with the prevention of some cancers. For example, many women receive a vaccination for the human papillomavirus because of the virus's relationship with cervical cancer. Hepatitis B vaccines prevent the hepatitis B virus, which can cause liver cancer. Some cancer prevention is based on systematic screening in order to detect small irregularities or tumors as early as possible even if there are no clear symptoms present. Breast self-examination, mammograms, testicular self-examination, and Pap smears are common screening methods for various cancers.

      One really important thing is that they use a white background and black text and the reason for that is because its proven that its the easiest to read and they would like for people to be able to read the context as much as possible. Also choosing the right combination of pictures and videos must have taken lots of time for them because its really important for them to target the right people.

      The logo is minimalistic. The periods in 'A.V.' as well as most of the other choices with the logo (inner white circle, Helvetica-style font, dark blue, etc) lend it a 'quirky' look that is clearly meant to appeal to young people.  On a more cynical level, it is meant to appeal to the 18-40 demographic that advertisers love.

      Also of note is that the front page is pretty much a bunch of text and picture links all piled on top of each other. In my personal experience, this is the kind of thing that overwhelms generations that did not grow up with computers.  More directly, I don't think my parents would be able to make any sense of this because it's too much information.  This again connects with the demographic appeal mentioned at the top of the page
