    10 MISSTEPS TO A VIDEO

    You can learn a lot from unsolicited promos on social media. Especially what to avoid... Here are the 10 MISSTEPS to making a video that no-one will want to view (unless as a warning lesson): MISSTEP 1. Put the CEO on screen immediately.

    MIND MAPPING

    Long, long ago - before Malta joined the EU and New York experienced power outage - I was on a mini tour of Asia, signing contracts with resellers for some software products. Most disconcerting was Taiwan (where a measure of success was how few people fell asleep during my presentation); most exciting was Hong Kong and the view across the bay.

He says that the great artist’s anatomical drawing and notations show an insight into the reality of the human heart that outstrips the knowledge of many junior doctors today. In a paper that Wells co-authored for The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, he contends that da Vinci’s interest in everything around him
