The 4 Most Important PowerPoint RULES for Successful PresentationsNed Potter
There are a million and one tips and tricks for using PowerPoint effectively, but what REALLY matters most? This presentation takes the 4 most important changes you can make to your presentations and explains simply how to go about them.
The focus is on use of images, making one point per slide, not using bullet points, and keeping things simple. Each of the rules is backed up by actual research, into multimedia learning principles, conducted at the University of California.
There's also several useful sites linked to, including 5 fantastic image resources, and a great place to download fonts.
See the associated blogpost for this slidedeck at http://www.ned-potter.com/blog/the-4-most-important-powerpoint-rules-for-successful-presentations.
If you're interested in more presentation tips, have a look at the other presentations on this Slideshare account, or head over to www.ned-potter.com/blog, where I've also written extensively about Prezi.
Professor Raymond Atuguba addresses the Sierra Leone Bar Association.Amos Anyimadu
The document discusses the current state of law and development in West Africa. It notes that democracy and good governance are declining globally while dictatorships and populism are rising. Economically, extractivism by powerful countries is pillaging resources from poorer nations. In Africa specifically, every measure of democracy and economic governance declined from 2015-2017, and the continent is moving away from political stability. Many African countries have experienced coups or unrest in recent years. The document calls for action from the Sierra Leone Bar Association to address democratic and economic policy reversals in their country.

Background to my teaching of Rawlings at the Scottish Parliament at the Unive...Amos Anyimadu
This document provides background information on Jerry Rawlings' visit to Scotland in 2000 where he addressed the Scottish Parliament. It summarizes the reaction in Ghana to Rawlings' off-script remarks during the visit, which embarrassed his Scottish hosts. The document also discusses Rawlings' upbringing in Ghana and his assertion that he identifies as Ghanaian despite his Scottish father. It criticizes comments by a scholar who suggested Rawlings' "strong moral principles" came from his Scottish ancestry, calling this a racist insult.
My 1985 view of analyses of the African CrisisAmos Anyimadu
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

This document discusses the need for Ghana to return to its cultural roots in order to find national direction and strength. It argues that Highlife music emerged as an innovative genre by combining Western musical structures with indigenous African melodies and rhythms. However, modern Ghanaian music has lost its originality and soul by imitating foreign styles instead of being grounded in their own culture. The document urges the conference attendees to consider how revitalizing Highlife through reconnecting with its roots can help provide a sense of national purpose and identity.

Amos Anyimadu's 2002 proposal to Canadian International Development Agency ...Amos Anyimadu
This document proposes a pilot learning exchange project between the University of Ghana and African Security Dialogue and Research to connect knowledge production and policy development for poverty eradication and security. The project would test connecting communities of practice and learning in Ghana through policy briefings, a current affairs digest, online resources, and meetings. It would focus on issues like the NEPAD process and regional integration in ECOWAS. The project aims to demonstrate how increasing a developing country's knowledge absorption capacity can help policymaking. It argues this aligns with Canada's support for linking knowledge and development through initiatives like the 1997 Global Knowledge Conference. The proposal seeks funding from CIDA given its focus on poverty reduction and knowledge management in partner organizations.

This document discusses tele-centers as a way to achieve universal access to telecommunications in Ghana. It provides an overview of different tele-center models used around the world and their goals, such as providing access to technology, job training, or teleworking facilities. The document then analyzes tele-center development specifically in Ghana, where private entrepreneurs have primarily established centers as phone shops and small business service providers. It finds that tele-centers have helped increase telephone access in Ghana but that there remains significant unmet demand for telecom services, especially in rural areas.

Presentation to TAP UG/DTU on ICT4D by Dr. Romeo Bertolini, July 2005Amos Anyimadu
The document discusses how Germany promotes ICT for development (ICT4D) in three key ways:
1) Mainstreaming ICT into development areas like education, health, and governance to increase efficiency and impact. This includes developing ICT strategies and integrating ICT components.
2) Developing an enabling policy environment in partner countries to support ICT deployment and use, including on issues like regulation and infrastructure.
3) Engaging in public-private partnerships to implement sustainable ICT solutions, share responsibilities and benefits, and leverage private sector investments for development goals.

The document summarizes a roundtable conference held in Ghana to mark the country's 50th anniversary of independence. It provides an overview of the conference agenda, including discussions on Ghana's electoral processes and democratic development. A keynote speaker then discusses several topics related to Ghana's electoral history and institutions, and provides comparisons to other countries' systems. The speaker argues that Ghana has developed a relatively stable semi-democratic system over time, and that its electoral processes should be understood within its own historical context rather than through frameworks designed for other regions.
