  • Wordperfect Presentations
    PowerPoint 2000 Page 1 PowerPoint WHAT IS PRESENTATION SOFTWARE? When you attend conference presentations or seminars, the presenter will often use a computer and an overhead projector to display the seminar material so everyone in the audience can view it on a large screen. Using a mouse, the presenter moves sequentially through a series of screens or slides. To illustrate his or her points, the presenter will use text, clip art, photographs, graphs, charts, tables and sound. Transitions will be used to move from one screen to the next. You may also receive a handout containing pictures of the slides. The software that is used for this kind of presentation is called Presentation Software. Most major software companies have produced a version of the presentation software. One of the first programs was Harvard Graphics. Other presentation software includes: Freelance Graphics (Lotus) Corel Show (Corel) PowerPoint (Microsoft) Corel WordPerfect Presentations WHAT IS PowerPoint? PowerPoint is a program that assists you when you make a presentation. It provides for easy input of text, graphics, tables and charts to produce eye catching "slides" and allows you to present on a computer screen or will print out your masters for overhead transparencies. It also allows you to make a handout of your presentation. You can enhance your computer slide show by introducing animation, sound clips, photographs and fades and wipes. The progression for your slide show can be linear or non-linear. There is a web site with a tutorial at: http://booleweb.ucc.ie/ecd/mat/guides/ppt/pptguide.html GETTING STARTED This tutorial will show you how to use the program PowerPoint to produce a presentation.

  • Courtroom Presentations Is a Bright Projector with Very Good Resolution – at Least 1800 Lumens, with at Least 1024X768 Resolution
    IT’S SHOWTIME! Using Technology to Add Organization and Pizzaz To Trial Presentations by Ronald C. Morton Morton Law Firm, PLLC Clinton, Mississippi Experts say we remember only 20 percent of what we hear. That number jumps to over 50 percent for that which we both see and hear. As lawyers whose job is to convey information and persuade thought, the benefits of using graphics and visual aids is compelling. For decades, lawyers have relied on flip charts, foam-board blowups, and demonstrative models in making our case to the jury. Today, modern computer technology provides yet another option for the legal practitioner. Using graphics software digital projectors to assist in computerized trial presentation, mediation, arbitration, or settlement conferences can be a powerful, streamlined, and effective tool. Surprisingly, computerized trial presentation can also be considerably less expensive, and much more flexable, than some alternatives previously relied upon. Computers have been commonplace in the law office for the past two decades, used first primarily as wordprocessors and for some timekeeping and accounting functions, and more recently also serving as schedulers, document managers, and litigation support. It has only been in the latter half of the 1990's that computers began being used to assist lawyers with presentation of their case at trial. Today, as a result of ever faster processing speeds, decreasing cost, and increasing jury sophistication, computers assisted trial presentations © R. Morton, 2004 have now come of age. This paper will discuss a full range of methods for effectively using computers to organize and assist the lawyer at trial or other persuasive presentations, including a brief survey many of the primary computer programs available to the legal professional for this function, will survey computer hardware requirements, and will conclude with suggestions and considerations in presentation techniques.

  • OSINT Handbook September 2020
    OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 Aleksandra Bielska Noa Rebecca Kurz, Yves Baumgartner, Vytenis Benetis 2 Foreword I am delighted to share with you the 2020 edition of the OSINT Tools and Resources Handbook. Once again, the Handbook has been revised and updated to reflect the evolution of this discipline, and the many strategic, operational and technical challenges OSINT practitioners have to grapple with. Given the speed of change on the web, some might question the wisdom of pulling together such a resource. What’s wrong with the Top 10 tools, or the Top 100? There are only so many resources one can bookmark after all. Such arguments are not without merit. My fear, however, is that they are also shortsighted. I offer four reasons why. To begin, a shortlist betrays the widening spectrum of OSINT practice. Whereas OSINT was once the preserve of analysts working in national security, it now embraces a growing class of professionals in fields as diverse as journalism, cybersecurity, investment research, crisis management and human rights. A limited toolkit can never satisfy all of these constituencies. Second, a good OSINT practitioner is someone who is comfortable working with different tools, sources and collection strategies. The temptation toward narrow specialisation in OSINT is one that has to be resisted. Why? Because no research task is ever as tidy as the customer’s requirements are likely to suggest. Third, is the inevitable realisation that good tool awareness is equivalent to good source awareness. Indeed, the right tool can determine whether you harvest the right information.

  • What Good Is a Linux Client?
    Preparing Today for Linux® Tomorrow What Good is a Linux Client? A Linux White Paper Preface Anyone who has followed the progress of Linux the past few years has noted the surprising gains that Linux has made in server operating system market share and “mindshare” against the entrenched opposition, notably Microsoft® Windows NT®, Novell Netware and various varieties of UNIX®. A complete Linux network, of course, would require Linux clients (networked PCs or terminals) as well. Therefore, an important question is, “Is Linux a viable desktop operating system for general business use?” or must we continue to be confined to the Windows world for our non-server needs? And what about laptop support, or a Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) user or home user, who does not need a network server? Is there a place for Linux in a stand-alone environment? These are some of the questions this paper addresses. I must confess that until recently I was merely a bystander watching with curiosity from the sidelines—without any real involvement— the progress Linux has made. So writing this paper not only gave me the excuse to join in on the action, but it also provides you with the perspective of a Linux “newbie” who is attempting to find the applications and utilities needed to create a working system. The conventional wisdom so far is that Linux is not “ready for prime time” as anything but a network operating system. We shall test this notion to see if I can find commercial, shareware and/or freeware programs for Linux to replace the existing applications I currently use with Windows.
