Blister with 2 miniatures: Carlota Kowalsky & Moriarty (Combi Rifle + Light FT)

“There are no heroes here, just people who do their job well… and aren’t being paid enough!”

Famous quote of Carlota Kowalsky, recorded during a news report for the Arachne net.

Carlota never thought she would end up in the army. She always thought she would enter the family tradition: space prospecting and EVA work. However, she discovered her mechanical aptitude and paid for her training and improvement classes by repairing her colleagues’ equipment. She was involved in the Base-Arakan litigation, joining the active resistance against the mercenaries of the MagnaObra Company. Captain Zakalwe, of the Intruder Command directing the defense until the arrival of the Phantom Military Force, recommended her for the Nomad army for her efforts. This enabled her to directly enter the Tomcats, the Special Emergency and Rescue Team. After an intense career, her involvement in the resolution of the C-7 diplomatic incident saw her promoted to the rank of Sergeant Major. Her new rank, including the corresponding salary improvement, has been a relief for her ruinous personal finances.

Carlota Kowalsky can be defined as one hell of a Sergeant Major, a sharp genius who won’t tolerate silliness and is more than able to demolish any misogynist stereotype. She is a woman with an extra-planetary look who is used to wearing campaign clothes. She has a face that insinuates intriguing contrasts: narrow and very dark, with sharp features and high cheekbones, fruit of the most genuine Corregidor crossbreeding. However, her facial expression is one usually associated with that of Nomad elite professionals: calm, alert, intelligent and very competent. Despite her attractive appearance, Carlota is one of the boys, and, usually, far better than them. Her comrades and superiors respect her greatly because she is responsible and never shirks when it’s time to work and get her hands dirty. A veteran of several campaigns already, and as lethal as the best holding a weapon, she is the most qualified engineering and maintenance specialist in her unit. The mechanical skills of Carlota are especially useful when fixing Moriarty, the name she gives to each new Zondcat assigned to her when its predecessor is destroyed. Poor Moriarty is in its eighth incarnation so far, and while Carlota remains in active service, it’s not likely to be the last one.

Essential reading for PowerPoint presenters.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Cliff shows details how to improve our PowerPoint presentations. He gives concrete and simple steps to transform a message into a targeted presentation. All of us have suffered from presenters who went over their allotted time because they had vital information to give us, yet we still didn't know their main point. Many have seen slide decks burdened with dozens of bullet points. Did the volume of points yield more clarity or did they dull our ability to focus on the message? Probably not. Read Cliff's book. Follow his method and you'll be a more effective presenter.

Useful with some scientific corroboration
Format: Paperback
Worth it as a primer to slide content and how it inter-relates to the delivery when giving a presentation. Very slightly laboured, like most TV documentaries nowadays - you feel they could move a bit faster (...yeah we got it the first time).

Simple and streamlined to meet anyone's needs
Format: Paperback
This book rocks! It provide a simple and structured way to define, develop and deliver a "Kick Ass" presentation that you can project or just use from the podium. It bring the audio and visual together to compliment a story to be shared. It has taken the hassel factor out of designing a presentation for anyone on any subject. Thank you!

Lasting value but degraded presentation
Format: Paperback
I've been a BBP fan since the first edition in 2005. The second edition in 2007 was a significant update and refinement. The latest, 2011 edition, is not worth buying if you already have the second edition -- the information is essentially the same but the 2011 is printed on cheap paper and the contrast between text and background for most of the illustrations is lousy, e.g. black text on a dark grey background, white text on a light grey background. I found it very difficult to read. The online version (O'Reilly Safari Books OnLine) is slightly better because it allows you to magnify the low contrast images which makes them slightly more legible. Thankfully, access to the online version is included with the ink-on-paper book free via a scratch-off, lottery ticket-type insert at the back of the book. If I had to do it again, I'd skip the paper book from Amazon and just purchase electronic access via O'Reilly. This version is more legible and you can print important pages that you might want hard copies of to highlight, mark-up, etc.
