Here, is a list of 4 free PowerPoint Viewer.
PowerPoint Viewer is a simple application that lets you open and view PowerPoint files. There are dozens of free PowerPoint Viewers available out there. These PowerPoint Viewers are extremely lightweight and comes as standalone applications. They support almost all PowerPoint file formats, and allows you to conveniently and quickly view PowerPoint files on your system. So if you don't have to create or edit PowerPoint files, you can simply rely on these free PowerPoint Viewer applications, instead of purchasing the full Microsoft Office suit.
Lets have a look on these free PowerPoint Viewers, one by one.
Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 2010:
Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer is a free software that allows you to view presentations made on Microsoft Office 97 and its later versions. The application gets open in full screen mode; it doesn't have any specific user interface. When you launch the app, it opens a window, which asks you to select the PowerPoint file you want to view. You can the, simply choose the desired file to open. It can open any kind of PowerPoint presentations and allow you to view them in full screen. Its more like viewing a PowerPoint presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint, except that you can't enter the edit mode. Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer supports the following file formats: .pptx, .ppt, .pptm, .poxt, .pot, .potm, .ppsx, .pps, and .ppsm.
Apart from that, it allows you to print Microsoft PowerPoint Presentations. It also supports opening those PowerPoint presentations, which are password protected. And since it's a Microsoft product, it open files without hampering the quality even a bit. Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer works with files created in following PowerPoint versions: Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, Microsoft PowerPoint 2002, Microsoft PowerPoint 2000, and Microsoft PowerPoint 97.

PowerPoint Viewer by FoxPDF:
PowerPoint Viewer by FoxPDF is another free PowerPoint Presentation Viewer, which supports opening, viewing, and printing Microsoft PowerPoint files. It supports all PowerPoint document formats including PPT and PPTX, Rich text format (TXT), as well as text file format (TXT). The interface of the program is quite simple. It contains quick access commands on the top panel. It also supports searching text within the presentation. This free PowerPoint Viewer is a multi-screen viewer, which allows opening separate PowerPoint documents together, in different screens.
PowerPoint Viewer by FoxPDF is a standalone application that doesn't require Microsoft PowerPoint to be installed on your computer, to open PowerPoint documents. Although the program supports opening files in wide variety of formats, however, it hampers the quality of the presentation a little bit. This free PowerPoint Viewer works with almost all Windows versions (in both 32 and 64-bit formats) and is available in 7 different languages, including English, German, French, Italian, Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified, and Japanese.

LittlePPT is another freeware that supports opening and viewing PowerPoint documents. It's a simple and lightweight program (size just 1.6 MB), which allow users to easily open and view PowerPoint presentations. This free PowerPoint Viewer provides a user-friendly interface, though it doesn't supports opening files in latest PowerPoint formats. It can open files in PPT and PPS formats only. You can use LittlePPT if you are still using an older version of Microsoft Office.
I would like to mention here that the website says that LittlePTT can open PPTX files also, as well as it lets you save and edit PowerPoint files. However, the version which I tested, did nothing besides opening PPT and PPS files.
Apart from opening and displaying PowerPoint files, LittlePPT allows to Zoom In and Zoom Out slides. You can also view the presentation in full screen mode. LittlePPT is a nice PowerPoint Viewer as far as the simplicity and ease of the program is concerned, but it lacks opening files in latest PowerPoint formats, which is a major drawback of the application. It would have been better if the developer had revised the application to make it compatible with all available PowerPoint formats.
Works With: Windows
Price: Free

Kingsoft Presentation 2012:
Kingsoft Presentation 2012 is a free Microsoft PowerPoint alternative, which allows you to open, edit, and save PowerPoint documents.

It supports almost all PowerPoint formats, including PPTX, PPT, PPSX, PPS, and POT.
Kingsoft Presentation 2012 is not that big in size(just 37MB), and it works great to match all the features of Microsoft's official PowerPoint application. Though it's a powerful editor, it can still be used as a Viewer application because of its small size and free availability.

Many will agree that Leighton Meester without makeup appearance looks so amazing and fascinating. We can say that this woman looks great and impressing with or without makeup on. Whenever using makeup, she looks like a superstar with that glamour yet elegance looks. But without makeup, her fascinating face looks so fresh, flawless and shows us that she is really having that kind of natural beauty.
I would like to say that Leighton Meester without makeup appearance shows that she is beautiful and no need too much makeup. Lucky the woman who rise to stardom through her role as Blair Waldorf on The CW's teen drama series Gossip Girl, love to use minimalist makeup. Her face rarely touched with heavy or thick makeup. Its only foundation or probably BB Cream that was coupled with facial powder. Sometimes she use blush on too with thin mascara and nude but shinny lipstick. It has been making her beautiful. And without makeup, she shows us that she is having that smooth and flawless facial skin. Her face looks so fresh and natural yet still showing that beautiful appearance.
We may say that Leighton Meester without makeup face really impressing and not disappointing at all. She looks great and flawless yet showing that kind of natural beauty.

Happy Sunday folks! I've been wanting to write an update post on how I've been dealing with anxiety and just where I'm at with my mental health. If you've been following me for a while or know me personally, you'll know that I've struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember. It's been a battle but I really wanted to share with you just where I'm at with it all.
Anxiety is something I battle with on a daily basis.. that's the honest truth. One of my friends described anxiety as 'fear of the unknown' and she couldn't be more right. I never really saw it that way and couldn't quite understand why I even had it so much but it made sense.. it's my fear of the unknown. Not knowing what the day is going to bring, not feeling prepared for whatever's come my way and so much more!
I've had days where I literally could not get out of bed because I was crippled with anxiety but although I still get days where I feel like I can't get up, I do it anyway. One thing 2018 showed me was just how much inner strength I have, I honestly don't know how I've managed to overcome certain things but when I look back it everything, I've always come out stronger.
As much as I still struggle with anxiety on a daily, I'm also making progress. Ever heard of the quote 'feel the fear and do it anyway'? Well, I feel like this is something I've been living by without even realizing. I love that I'm able to get through days without feeling like my anxiety has completely taken over, although I'll still have moments where it does get difficult, something within me still keeps me going.
You might be wondering what has helped me tackle my anxiety so much? I must say, working out has been one of the biggest things. When I look back at when I started going to the gym regularly and introducing running into my fitness routine, that's where I was able to notice the progress I'd made with my mental health since then.
I've also got back into writing in my journal, I used to do this a lot in my early/mid teens but stopped for a while. Being able to write down whatever I'm feeling is such a good outlet for me, I'm not the best with expressing my feelings but writing in my journal does help me get it out there!
Anxiety isn't something you ever get over, it just becomes easier to deal with. It's great to see how much I've been finding it easier to deal with and I hope this inspires anyone who also suffers with anxiety to know that it does get easier and you do have control. That might be hard to believe but it's true. Find yourself a coping mechanism and stick with that, surround yourself with people who also uplift you and take time out for YOU!

A tax expert has recently stated that the Government is purposely downplaying the impact that changes to Travel and Subsistence (T&S) will have on supply teachers after a Baroness unsuccessfully petitioned ministers for questions regarding the changes.
CEO of trade body PRISM, Crawford Temple, recently met with Baroness Sharp to discuss the growing cause for concern with the upcoming changes to T&S and asked for her help in raising awareness on the matter.
Baroness Sharp, a former economist and Lib Dem peer tabled a question in the House of Lords, bringing to light the potential damage these changes could have on the education industry, with supply teachers being unable to claim tax relief on travel and subsistence.
The response from Lord O'Neill of Gatley, admitted on behalf of the Government, that they had not yet taken into account the impact these changes would have on the education sector.
PRISM's research has shown that contractor supply teachers would lose on average £3,252 per year.
Crawford Temple added "I am extremely grateful to Baroness Sharp for helping to raise this issue. The Government has once again revealed itself to be totally complacent over the damage this policy will do in classrooms up and down the country."
With less than three months until these changes are set to take place, PRISM are continuing to push their YES2T&S campaign which fights against the tax changes and brings to light the effect these changes will have on the industry, highlighting that the abolishment of T&S will drive wage costs higher for many sectors.
PRISM also highlight how contractors who operate in certain industries including education, healthcare, IT and construction who have benefited from the tax relief T&S provides will be subject to a 20% cut in pay overnight.
Lord O'Neill of Gatley went on to say that "The planned changes will put supply teachers employed through an intermediary on the same terms as other supply teachers, either contracted directly, or through an agency contract."
In response to this Crawford Temple said that "The Government may claim a level playing field but you don't see ministers insisting that contractors are given the same perks and securities as full-time employees. In fact, these rule changes could mean that full-time employees are able to claim more expenses than the contractors."
Crawford further went on to discuss how Lord O'Neill's comments were a means to distract us from the vital role contractors have played in repairing the British economy by providing a no-strings attached labour work force.

Fear of public speaking
Very few people are afraid of speaking.
It's the public part that's the problem.
What makes it public? After all, speaking to a waiter or someone you bump into on the street is hardly private.
I think we define public speaking as any group large enough or important enough or fraught enough that we're afraid of it.
And that makes the solution straightforward (but not easy). Instead of plunging into these situations under duress, once a year or once a decade, gently stretch your way there.
Start with dogs. I'm not kidding. If you don't have one, go to the local animal shelter and take one for a walk. Give your speech to the dog. And then, if you can, to a few dogs.
Work your way up to a friend, maybe two friends. And then, once you feel pretty dumb practicing with people you know (this is easy!), hire someone on Craigslist to come to your office and listen to you give your speech.
Drip, drip, drip. At every step along the way, there's clearly nothing to fear, because you didn't plunge. It's just one step up from speaking to a schnauzer. And then another step.
Every single important thing we do is something we didn't use to be good at, and in fact, might be something we used to fear.
This is not easy. It's difficult. But that's okay, because it's possible.

Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a term used by internet hosting services which offers a good balance between total control (root access privilege) and a tight budget. Having a VPS account is just like operating a dedicated server. VPS is cost effective way to manage multiple sites and ideal for mission critical applications and websites. This because each VPS can run its own preferred operating system and can be independently rebooted anytime when required. Before you buy any Linux VPS which is unmanaged server, it is better to have basic knowledge of linux system administrations. You will be manage your own web service and database service that you will be installed.
In this post, i want to share two useful link to get the best VPS hosting deals and information. For VPS newbie, it's better to try cheap VPS before you spend huge amount of money for your production VPS web hosting.

We are excited to announce the winners of VRM Intel's Best Vacation Rental Management Websites of 2016. With more than three dozen entries, the competition was intense, and the bar was set high. This year, we increased the judging criteria from 20 to 34 factors, including categories in design, on-site search functionality, property display, booking paths, area information, search engine ranking, site errors, speed, and lead generation.
All of the Websites submitted were launched in the last 12 months, and their quality is outstanding: all entries have a responsive design, large home page images, and simple online booking paths. In addition, most have a detailed refined search option and professional photographs of their rentals.
Many of this year's entries have followed some of the best practices being utilized by major online travel agencies (OTAs) and have included a map view in their search results, the ability to search with flexible dates, and urgency marketing techniques.
At VRM Intel, we want to congratulate all of the vacation rental managers who submitted sites this year. The level of professionalism in design and functionality is a testament to the commitment of both the management companies and their developers and evidence of a maturing industry.
And the winner is…
1st Place: Topsail Realty Vacations
Topsail Beach, North Carolina
Developed by ICND
Topsail Realty Vacations met all the major judging criteria with flying colors. The overall design is incredibly sharp and has a heavy focus on e-commerce with an Airbnb-type feel that also markets the destination and vacation lifestyle. The smart calendars and responsive design functionality perform well on tablets and other mobile devices, and professional photos, well-written descriptions, and an easy-to-understand rate table help to communicate trust and credibility.
In addition, the Topsail Realty Vacations Website contains additional features that moved its ranking from great to exceptional. The site has urgency marketing calls to action, video tours, a split-payment option, a unique designation for properties that offer specials, and an attractive lead capture form that appears when the user is trying to exit the booking path. The ability to search for monthly rentals along with well-designed and well-written owner acquisition pages also stood out in their overall score.
There is also a feature on the site's property listing pages that allows visitors to submit a question about the property that subsequently creates a consumer-facing FAQ knowledge base for each home. In short, Topsail Realty Vacations got it right.
2nd Place: Island Realty
Isle of Palms, South Carolina

What Our Winners Did Better than the Rest:
- Site Speed/Performance – Our top Websites loaded quickly and scored well on Google's Page Insights test.
- Simple/Smart Site Search Experience – The Websites with the highest scores had intuitive refined searches or advanced search capabilities with a display of the number of rentals associated with each attribute. With an optimal search filter, when the user selects an attribute, the results automatically refresh to ensure that the user doesn't choose a combination of attributes or amenities that would show zero results.
- Smart Availability Calendars – Smart availability calendars appear when the user enters travel dates on the individual property detail pages. We encountered a few sites that did a fine job of ensuring that users could only choose arrival and departure dates that were valid; the industry has seen a marked improvement in the capabilities of smart calendars.
- Beautiful Websites – When clients have large, professional, beautiful images, you can really tell that the web designers were inspired to create photojournalistic experiences throughout the web design.
- Trust, Professionalism, and Credibility – This year's submissions did an excellent job of inspiring trust and communicating professionalism with added features such as well-written descriptions, area information, add-ons, social sharing, detailed reviews, mapping, videos, and floor plans. In addition, these new sites provide smooth booking paths, secure payment processing, and travel insurance options that allow guests to feel safe, comfortable, and confident in their booking decisions.

"We never had an agenda," says singer Nicola Kuperus during a telephone interview with the whole band on speakerphone. "We never sat down and said, 'Let's make a career out of this,' or 'Let's do if for a long time.'"
Adam Lee Miller, electronics player and Kuperus' husband, agrees. "We never really looked beyond each release, and we never really expected to have another one. We have reached goals that we never made. It's important to never make goals, because then you won't fail if you don't reach them."
Shrink-wrapping 1980s-era electro pop in punk attitude and decadent irony, Adult. plays human-machine hybrid music that sounds as if it were created just yesterday by some cranky adolescents with laptops who are beyond bored with like, everything they hear. In its permissive approach to art and musical revolution, it sounds timeless and contemporary at the same time.
Compared to such electro-revival acts as Fischerspooner, Le Tigre and Ladytron, Adult. sound more like a synthesizer-heavy Public Image Ltd., right down to the way Kuperus' louche vocals reflect the brattiness of John Lydon's famous sneer.
And before you ask, yes, the period is part of the band's name. Which is really a pain in the ass for newspaper writers and editors with automatic spelling- and grammar-check programs on their computers.
They chose the name Adult., Miller notes, "because of all the uncoolness associated with it." Kuperus then chimes in: "We wanted to have a name that is hard to find on the Internet." (It's easy to imagine the variety of sites that pop up when you Google the word "Adult.")
The period, though, is "just pure pretentiousness," Miller says. "We just wanted to make the word ours. ... I mean, today's music is youth-oriented. We wanted to do something opposite of that."
Which begs the question: How old are the members of Adult.? "Let's just say we're all in the demographic for The Daily Show," Kuperus demurs.
Miller and Kuperus formed Adult. more than seven years ago in Detroit, a town with a significant tradition for spawning fierce, no-holds-barred rock 'n' roll since the 1960s. One wonders if there is something in the water up there.
"It's the pollution in the air," Miller says, while his wife blames the climate.
"Maybe it's just that it's so cold up here, you form bands to keep yourself entertained while you're indoors," Kuperus says. "I'm sure if I lived somewhere else, like Florida or Arizona, the music would sound very different."
Until this year, Adult.'s recordings were released on the band's own label, Ersatz Audio. For the D.U.M.E. EP, released earlier this year, the band jumped to way-hip Thrill Jockey Records, the same label that released Gimmie Trouble to much acclaim.
The new album features new member Sam Consiglio (formerly of the band Tamion 12 Inch) on guitar. He joined in January, just as Kuperus and Miller were beginning work on Gimmie Trouble in their spanking-new home studio.
The fattened-up sound of the three-piece is evident not only on recordings but on stage as well, Miller says. "We're much better with the live sets. We've done 20 shows together, so it's definitely much better. I always say that by having three people, we have more energy to give off on stage. It changes the whole chemistry."
Kuperus says the addition of Consiglio has other benefits. "It's just been a lot easier making music and a lot faster."
The band collectively recognizes that listeners might falsely perceive Adult. to be a retro band. But just because they can see why people might feel that way doesn't mean they have to like it.
Consiglio brings a diplomatic perspective to this discussion: "Any performer has his or her references to the past. But, if they are creative artists in any way, they hopefully can take all those things and make something unique from them, make them their own--incorporate the old stuff with their new ideas. And everybody, because of what they have heard and been exposed to, puts restrictions on themselves in various ways."
However, the members of Adult. continuously try to change the restrictions within which they must work, Miller says. "The restrictions we do are on a particular song or album; the rules are always going to change. This is how it feels right now, and on the next song, it might feel totally different."
"We always break our own rules," Consiglio says.
That's hardly the formula for writing hit songs or even ensuring a band stays together, Miller acknowledges. "I'm surprised that we've been able to keep going this long."
Kuperus, also a professional photographer who shoots the album cover art and band photos, has part of the answer.
"I think we are pretty disciplined in a way. I don't know that 'extreme' is the best word, but we have a lot of focus. There's a certain energy that comes from people doing what they do best, and I think we have that."

- #OneDizzion
At the close of every year, industry experts look ahead to the next 12 months and make predictions about what will change and what new trends and technology will rock the boat. These predictions are especially exciting in fast moving industries or older industries undergoing major updates and transformations.
One of the fastest changing industries right now is the contact center. What used to be a physical call center filled with agents at computers with headsets is rapidly evolving into an onmichannel customer support model delivered by agents from their living rooms. What sort of technology is making this possible and where will the next year take the contact center industry? Dizzion and our partner Five9 (a leading cloud contact center software provider) made our own predictions for contact centers in 2018.
Dizzion's VP of Product and Strategy, Brady Ranum, sat down with Wendell Black, VP of Channels at Five9, to discuss what technologies will change contact centers in 2018, how BPOs can gain a competitive advantage next year and who will play the biggest role in these changes.
Wendell Black: Contact Centers have been a focus of innovation for the 30+ years I have been in the space. Customer interaction preferences have been driving these changes over that period of time as contact center managers strive to find more efficient and effective ways to address customer needs.
The move to mobile engagement will, in my opinion, be the big driver over the next several years in the contact center. While clients have made the move to mobile with the attrition of landline phones, contact center managers haven't been able to keep up with services that adapt easily to the new mobile paradigm. I see companies like Five9 filling those gaps in customer engagement.
Brady Ranum: Cloud has been driving business flexibility, scalability and time to revenue for many years now and this has not escaped the contact center market. Contact centers will continue to expand from DIY, expensive, non-flexible and highly capital constrained applications and infrastructure to more cloud adoption. From cloud based ACD to WFM systems and beyond – that includes cloud delivered desktops. We are even seeing contact centers being created or shifting to only using cloud based technologies. No building, no offices, no data centers or servers. 100% cloud and work at home.
WB: The titles around "Customer Experience" are likely to be the driving forces. The roles that own the relationship with end clients will be on the leading edge of these changes. Of course the execution of those plans will still be falling into the realm of IT and those members of the Customer Experience Team will have to embrace the changes that are coming their way.
BR: Multiple titles will be involved – from CISOs to Customer Experience, Human Resource Managers and even contact center coaches and managers – because the impact of moving to cloud solutions touches everyone in the business. CTOs and CIOs will be involved but much of the heavy lifting will move from internal to external partners. CISOs and security will also be tightly aligned to the project and capabilities of the service based on the ever growing focus on security and compliance.
WB: "Smart" contact center managers are moving steadily forward and are not complacent with their technology. Consumers expect businesses to keep up and continue to push the engagement model forward to take advantage. The enabling technology has been around for many years. For example, I deployed my first contact center chat and collaboration application back in the mid 90's. That's 22 years ago. Why isn't that adoption rate with mobile technology today 100% penetrated in the market? "Smart" engagement managers are doing it and looking for more technology to improve their customer experience.
BR: Contact centers are now starting to look at not only customer satisfaction, but also the agents providing the service. Contact centers that are fully embracing technology have said goodbye to the days of having 50% of agents on performance plans. Advanced contact center platforms and cloud solutions that provide better insight and easier management and coaching abilities have allowed these centers to optimize their workforces and gain a competitive edge by getting the most out of all of their teams.
The remote working model enabled by cloud solutions is also resulting in a competitive advantage. Work at home programs can allow for broader recruitment base, faster onboarding w/ BYOD and more satisfied agents, which all present overall cost savings for contact centers. In this industry, every penny saved is a competitive advantage.
WB: Everyone wants to talk about AI, but really, the old is forever new. Find out what applications or business processes your customers want to tap into and expose them to their mobile device. You have to do the obvious, make those engagements faster and easier than they can do in a live conversation. It's all about meeting the expectations of the consumer.
BR: Agent behavior and process is no longer a mystery. Asking agents what applications they use or how long it takes them to process a return or a complaint doesn't have to be folklore any longer. Insight into applications, number of clicks and time spent in any one or multiple applications is now a reality. Information about how end users complete a task or a service call is now available at the click of a mouse. New tech solutions are emerging to enhance this agent tracking, and all this real time information can be used to optimize processes and make more informed business decisions. Any contact center that isn't accessing this type of data will quickly find itself falling behind in 2018
WB: Well, based on my last comment, you might think I'm not too hot on AI. AI to me is intelligence in the workflow for completing a task or getting information easily. The only thing artificial is how you fulfill the request. But humans have to understand the objectives of their customers before you can automate anything to meet their needs. It takes smart analytical people to implement automated services to first of all understand what customers want, and then be able to translate that into a service experience that can meet their needs.
BR: Hard phones will continue to fizzle out in 2018 with the advent of a reliable soft phone and the continued reliance and advancements of Voice over IP. The shackles of a physical phone have not only become unnecessary but is seen as outdated. Many were waiting to move based on the use of VDI or a Citrix type deployment but those hurdles have been cleared with new high performance deployments which can handle not only voice and softphones but high-def video as well.
WB: I think they are going to be excited about the customer service experiences they can deliver and the customer satisfaction score improvement they earn when they listen to clients and give them what they want! But, and it is a big but, you have to listen and design your engagement to meet their needs. And it isn't always hard stuff. One of my favorite examples is when I fly. My airline figured out that they can reduce my calls to reservations by sending me text updates. That is a win on so many levels for the airlines. Cost of service and my customer experience! They also know when I call them that most of the time it is to find out about my flight. And before I have to ask, they tell me all about my flight. That makes me happy and saves me and them time and cost. The "smart" contact centers are going to be excited about finding things like this that make me happy and save them money. That's a win/win for all of us.
BR: Going 100% remote! The dissolving of the brick and mortar contact center will open opportunities for not just agents but managers, C- levels and even IT staff.
Many of these early adopters have been through the work at home "game" before but technology such as high speed bandwidth availability, poor performing virtual desktop environments as well as workforce management tools didn't allow for an easy nor successful deployment. That's all changed. This round of early adopters may be fearful at first but as they see how the technology has improved, their excitement will return based on the multitude of benefits it enables.

We want to stop the obesity and diabetes epidemic and we think we know how to do it.
Crazy? Absolutely not.
In this post I share the "Learning Through Excitement" method and reveal the secret step to
reduce learning time from years to months. It's time to rethink learning.
A while back I decided to travel the world again while researching various topics. To focus my attention on learning I had to stop doing the things that weren't essential. Therefore, I've stopped blogging for a while, quit my management consultancy job, and put my various not-for-profit activities on hold.
Philosophy, behaviour and results
I'm currently researching and thinking about philosophy, human behaviour and how to create individual and organisational results. I love it.
The reason I like to travel while researching is that travelling provides me with lots of new sensory input. I feel this input allows me to understand things at a more fundamental level than if I was to stay home in Norway and it sparks my creativity. Additionally, I meet a lot of exciting people, learn about how different people live their lives, and get to make a large number of new, memorable memories.
My wife Kristina and I travel together. So far our travels has brought us to Portugal, Brazil, Spain, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Congo, Belgium, Malaysia (Borneo), Brunei, Taiwan, Japan, South-Korea, China, North-Korea and the Philippines. There's still at least seven months left of the trip, lots more research to do and places to visit! I can't wait :-)
I hope things are going well with all of you out there and I look forward to sharing my thoughts with you when the time is right. I do enjoy reading your comments and emails and I hope you accept that my replies will take more time than usual.
Take care and regards from the Philippines!

Teach Your Child How to Play Golf
Golf has exploded in popularity since Tiger Woods stepped onto the greens. Young participants are ready to learn the game and enjoy this relaxing sport. It is the perfect opportunity for a father and son to exercise and practice their skills, allowing father and son bonding to grow. A quiet, natural outdoor setting is the perfect combination for an eighteen hole course for enhancing your ability to enjoy quality time on the greens together.
There are several benefits to golfing. When participating in the sport, your heart receives a healthy workout walking throughout the course, although golf carts are available if walking is not appropriate for you or your child. This is also a perfect opportunity to speak to your child about the benefits of a healthy heart and nutritious eating habits. Another fantastic reward is the sharpening of your child's hand and eye coordination when swinging at the golf ball, as well as strengthening your child's upper and lower body.
Take young children to putt-putt courses. The clubs are small enough for the younger players to feel comfortable with hitting and can be a great way for you to teach your child the fundamentals of putting. Putt-putt offers twelve fun and crazy courses that focus on the putting, rather than on the long stroke. This is really where young children should start to learn.
Main points to address:
Grades K-6th
Be sure they have an appropriate sized golf club to use for driving. Children should hold their clubs with both hands touching each other on the grip of the club; this will give them better maneuverability when swinging the club. Children should be shown the proper way to swing when driving as well. Children in this age group take instructions relatively well and when shown how to swing will normally pick this up very well.

Arizona companies team up, providing quick development of cancer drugs
TGen Drug Development (TD2) and Flagship Biosciences offer
combined oncology and pathology services for pharmaceutical and
biotech clients
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - Jan. 26, 2011 - TGen Drug Development (TD2) and Flagship Biosciences today announced a strategic alliance that should help speed new drugs safely into human testing and quickly benefit cancer patients.
TD2, based in Scottsdale, Ariz., provides drug development firms with expertise in moving promising laboratory discoveries through the pre-clinical, clinical and regulatory approval steps of getting new drugs to patients as quickly and safely as possible.
Flagship Biosciences, based in Flagstaff, Ariz., will greatly assist in this process by providing high-throughput, multiplexed immunohistochemistry expertise to support preclinical drug development and human clinical trials.
"Flagship's technology will significantly accelerate our ability to identify biomarkers that could help researchers predict which drug compounds will work best on specific patient cancers," said TD2 President Dr. Stephen Gately.
And because Flagship's affiliated laboratories are certified under the 1988 federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) law, these findings can be translated directly into clinical trials, where they can benefit patients as quickly as possible.
Specifically, Flagship provides computerized histopathology, the microscopic study of diseased tissue, which is a critical part of anatomical pathology and key to the accurate diagnosis of cancer and other diseases from sample tissues. Flagship also provides deep expertise in measuring epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), the process in which tumor cells become highly invasive, migratory and resistance to therapy.
"The local tumor environment is key to understanding efficacy and toxicity of oncology compounds in both preclinical and clinical trials, and EMT is central to understanding stromal involvement and fibrosis in cancer patients," said Dr. Gately. "Working with Flagship Biosciences brings a wealth of pathology knowledge in pharmaceutical product development, experience in difficult histology analysis."
When combined with TD2's integrated suite of molecular analysis tools designed to reduce the uncertainty in the drug development process, the partnership with Flagship will provide emerging drug companies with the promise of quickly and safely getting their discoveries to market.
"TD2 is the world-leader in novel approaches to oncology and oncology clinical trials," said Dr. David Young, President of Flagship Biosciences. "It is exciting to be partnering with TD2, and combining our quantitative pathology with TD2's oncology and molecular tumor profiling expertise. TD2's leadership in novel approaches to oncology clinical trials is an exciting match for digital pathology techniques and the promise of quantitative and virtual pathology analysis of patients and tumor response."
"This partnership is a further demonstration of the emerging regional strength of Arizona for biotech product development," said Dr. Robert Kellar, a board member of Flagship Biosciences. "Arizona is a unique resource for pharma, biotech, and device clients looking for the rapid application of new technology in development and clinical trials."
About Flagship Biosciences
Flagship Biosciences is a pathologist-owned pharmaceutical services organization that uses digital pathology to deliver quantitative tissue assessment in pharma and device development. Backed by a combined 60 years of pharmaceutical pathology experience, Flagship has a world-class team of pathology, image analysis and companion diagnostics regulatory experts.
