If you have an unusual or difficult to pronounce name, you may want to add a small remark to help your audience remember it. For example, you can say “My name is Jacob Misen, like ‘risen’ but with an M. ” Try to make eye contact with parts of audience during your presentation as well. [1] X Research source If you are VP of Marketing at a large company, it can actually be much more effective to say something like “I have more than a decade of experience using Facebook marketing ads to target clients in the dance industry” rather than simply stating your job title....

If you are able to, clean the tires in a shady spot so they stay cool and don’t dry out as quickly. A pressure washer is more effective than a garden hose. If you have one, use it to blast more loose debris off while hosing down the tires. Work on the tires one at a time. That way, you can focus your energy on one of them without worrying about the others drying off....

Simpson cruised to victory on Sunday, the 2012 U.S. Open champion posting a one-over-par 73 for his fifth PGA Tour victory on Mother’s Day. After tying the course record with a nine-under 63 in round two, Simpson was always in control after entering the final day seven strokes clear at TPC Sawgrass. Simpson had fallen on hard times when the anchoring ban forced him to switch his putting technique, but he caught fire with the short stick this week while flirting with Greg Norman’s Players Championship scoring record of 24 under....

Sindh 2nd XI have won two of their last three games and will want to continue their winning momentum. Southern Punjab 2nd XI, on the other hand, have won only one of their last four matches. Southern Punjab 2nd XI will give it their all to win the match and make a comeback in the tournament, but Sindh 2nd XI have a better squad and are expected to win the encounter....

Quick off the block, Kuncoro raced to a 21-10 victory in the first game. Lin then dug deep to take the second game at 21-17 and the tie went into a tie-breaker, before the Indonesian found enough reserves to edge out the five-time world champion 22-20, reports Xinhua. “It’s been a while since I last won. I think this win really means plenty to me,” admitted Kuncoro. “I’m very happy today because it was such an awesome game....

This might seem like just a quirky finding except for one thing: it comes in the midst of a revolution in biologists’ understanding of what are called trans-generational effects. The term refers to consequences of toxic exposure that strike a generation or more down the line. In the case of vinclozolin, the chemical affects how genes in the male rats’ sperm are turned on or off. (This is called an epigenetic change....

Manchester City comfortably beat Manchester United 2-1 on Monday to reduce the deficit between them and the Red Devils to 12 points. Although the race for the title might be over, this loss against City was a continuation of United’s poor performances after their loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16. One major area of concern for the Red Devils is their midfield. In the past few seasons, the United midfield was constantly overrun and outplayed by quality opposition....

The California parole board reportedly released Sirhan after two of Kennedy’s sons said they supported his release. However, Parole Board Commissioner Robert Barton said some of Kennedy’s family members also sent letters opposing Sirhan’s parole. At his parole hearing, held remotely over webcam, Sirhan said his time behind bars hadn’t made him angrier. Now 77 years old, he said he was committed to living peacefully. “I would never put myself in jeopardy again,” he said....

The U.S. Olympic Committee and Nassar are also named as defendants in the civil suits filed in Los Angeles by Tasha and Jordan Schwikert. The organizations knew “or should have known of Nassar’s sexual abuse and could have prevented it by taking sexual abuse allegations seriously and maintaining a culture of accountability and transparency,” the two complaints said. USA Gymnastics said in a statement that it doesn’t comment on pending litigation....

The evergreen American defeated Konta 6-4 6-2 on Thursday to reach her second grand slam final of 2017 and first at the All England Club since 2009, losing to her sibling both back then and in the Australian Open decider earlier this year. Serena has experienced the highs and lows of facing Muguruza in grand slam finals – the latter triumphed to win the 2016 French Open and the roles were reversed at SW19 in 2015....

Six months later, it’s clearer than ever just how unjustifiable Trudeau’s actions really were. In a recent report, the CBC, Canada’s federal public broadcaster, found that at the time Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act, an agreement for truckers to leave the city’s residential streets had already been reached between the City of Ottawa and Lich and other organizers. The Emergencies Act meant that the agreement wasn’t given time to play out before the government took such a draconian move....

It’s less clear whether there is any risk for people who carry the sickle cell trait, but researchers think that the potential exists. It’s not known whether SCD increases a person’s risk of catching COVID, but those who do get the virus have a higher risk of hospitalization and pneumonia. For people with SCD, the first symptom of COVID is often pain. Symptoms of COVID can also mimic symptoms of common SCD complications....

Crosby and Brandon Dubinsky scrapped during the Blue Jackets’ 2-1 win. Looks like a draw, yeah? Dubinsky and Crosby have been going at it for a long time; in 2010, while with the Rangers, Dubinsky called Crosby a dirty player , and in 2012, he got annoyed over questions about Crosby’s pending return from concussion issues. That continued into the 2014 playoffs, which continued into Friday night. So, what triggered the fight (Crosby’s first since the 2012 playoffs)?...

Sidney Crosby was going to score. He was playing too well and coming too close to not. Hockey has an unpleasant way of making guys like him wait, though, and he hadn’t managed it for eight full games before Monday night. He was staying on the right side of the puck, and drawing tough assignments, but the production, relatively speaking, wasn’t quite there. MORE: Longest OT games ever “I think Sidney’s dry spell is most players’ hot spell,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said on Sunday — and he’s right....

Reno’s “the buck stops here” performance earned her quick praise on the Hill. In effect, Reno played good cop to Stephen E. Higgins’s bad cop. Higgins, the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), antagonized committee members with his continued evasiveness. In a public statement last week, Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen signaled that Higgins would probably step down. By the weekend, investigators seemed to have as many questions as answers about what actually happened inside the compound....

SYNDEY — Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers made a winning start Saturday in baseball's first season opener Down Under, defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks. Scott Van Slyke gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead with a second-inning double, and then increased it to 3-0 with a two-run homer in the fourth. The D-backs' run came in the sixth. Thunder and lightning delayed the start of the 2014 MLB season by a few minutes but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the near-sellout crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground....

If you really want to see the city, do it on the run. You might think that’s the worst way to experience history. You’d be wrong. The exertion and the speed, the concentration and the rush of sensation, all work together to give the experience a new intensity. On the run, you don’t ponder Paris or Rome, London or Copenhagen. You absorb them. On the outskirts of many European capitals are enormous parks like the Bois de Boulogne in Paris, or the Foret de Soignes in Brussels....

There hasn’t been a proper new Silent Hill game in a decade, but it looks like that may be changing sooner rather than later. Leaks and rumors from reputable sources suggest that Konami has multiple Silent Hill projects in development at various studios. According to VGC, one project is a brand-new Silent Hill game being made by a Japanese studio, while another is a narrative-driven adventure game in the vein of Telltale’s projects, which may be in the works at Annapurna Interactive....
