Penn & Teller : ‘Shadows’
A clip of Teller from Penn & Teller performing his magic trick ‘Shadows’.
Can I Shadow Silently in My Head?
Perhaps you have heard of shadowing somewhere else, or you might have read about it in one of my articles. Anyway, you want to do shadowing, but you have a few worries. Your first worry is that you do not have many places to do shadowing.
Where? Some students tell me that it is difficult to do shadowing at home. They have families, and there are no quiet places, or they are busy with family. Other students get home late, and after daily routine activities, there is simply not much time left.
Whatever the reason, some students find it difficult to shadow at home. But they cannot do shadowing out loud while they are commuting. There are many people around, so it would look strange. Or perhaps they are driving a car, and need to give their attention to driving.
Why? Those students ask why it is necessary to do shadowing out loud. There are several reasons why shadowing out loud is effective. To begin with, when you shadow out loud, you are already practicing the mouth movements of English. And of course, practice makes perfect. But more importantly, shadowing out loud gives you instant feedback about your practice. You can hear the speaking you are shadowing and your own voice, and you can compare them. You will instantly know what is correct, and what is imperfect in your speaking.
Is the Graphic Design Industry Losing Value?
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 15, 2012
As a site focused on engaging its readers, GraphicDesign.com published a controversial feature article this week, “The Sad State of Design 2012.” Written by Neil Tortorella, “The Sad State of Design 2012″ begins, “I’ve been at this design stuff for a while now. All in all, roughly 35 years, give or take. In that time, Ive watched the graphic design profession slowly erode into a shadow of what it once was.”
Tortorella’s editorial begins by pointing out that in the 1960s and 1970s, “Designers had a seat at the Board table, so to speak. Our talents, skills, and opinions mattered and were seen as valuable to our clients.”

PowerPoint Tip – Create soft shadows
Article by Ellen Finkelstein
Shadows create the illusion that an object is hovering above the slide. They can make shapes look more realistic. In PowerPoint 2007, it’s easy to create soft shadows, but in PowerPoint 2003, you need to use a trick. Here are instructions for both.
***PowerPoint 2003***
1. Insert an AutoShape by choosing AutoShapes from the Drawing toolbar and then choosing the one that you want. I chose a heart. Format it as desired.
2. Duplicate the AutoShape by selecting it, and pressing Ctrl + D or copying and pasting. You now have one in front of the other. We’ll turn the copy, which is on top, into the shadow, and place it behind the original at the end.

Trainees Post Reveals Bid Management Companys Successful Training Strategy Make it Personal
London, UK (PRWEB) May 09, 2012
A fresh university graduate confessed in recent post on the companys website about his training as a tender writer for Executive Compass nothing beats kinaesthetic learning paired with personal instruction from the masters.
The young man chose to work for Executive Compass out of university instead of doing manual labour at a popular fast food outlet and wondered why. After securing a degree, he did not count on the six months of his apprenticeship with the bid management company and being under the wings of the masters to be more packed with lessons compared to the three years he devoted to his tertiary education. Intense mental flexibility was required to accommodate all the information in such a short span of time and being thrust into the system relatively early. Naturally, the burger-flipping job seemed more ideal certainly beats thumbing through an invitation to tender for the provision of domiciliary care services!
