Malala Yousafzai addressed the United Nations and delivered what can only be described as the best speech of 2013, as well as the most powerful address of this decade (so far.) July 12, 2013 was not only Malala Day. Malala Yousafzai is a great global communicator. She is sixteen years old, and was shot in the head, at point blank range in Pakistan, less than one year ago. Malala was shot because she wanted to… learn. And she was a young woman.

I just gave a webinar on upgrading to PowerPoint 2013, explaining all the new features and how to use them. But in PowerPoint 2013, you choose Insert> Online Pictures and get a dialog box instead. (It’s It’s funny– in PowerPoint 2013, the Format Shape dialog box became the Format Shape task pane, but the Clip Art task pane became the the Insert Pictures dialog box.).
