    <title>Gapminder</title>

    <description>Zwei hervorragende Visualisierungswerkzeuge die in letzter Zeit veröffentlicht wurden sind &lt;a href=&quot;http://services.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/home&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;IBMs Many Eyes&quot;&gt;IBMs Many Eyes&lt;/a&gt; und der &lt;a href=&quot;http://tools.google.com/gapminder/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Gapminder&quot;&gt;Gapminder&lt;/a&gt; (mittlerweile ein Google Tool).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Ich habe einige Aussagen aus dem Buch &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.de/ausgefallene-Generation-Demographie-unsere-Zukunft&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;&quot;  &gt;&quot;Die ausgefallene Generation&quot;&lt;/a&gt; von &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.herwig-birg.de/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Prof. Dr. Herwig Birg&quot;&gt;Prof. Dr. Herwig Birg&lt;/a&gt; zu visualisieren versucht. Dieses Buch hatte ich im Rahmen meiner Bevölkerungsdöner-Phase gelesen. Es geht also um die demographische Entwicklung in Deutschland.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In diesem Buch erfährt man, dass der Unterstützungsquotient die Summe aus Jugendquotient und Altersquotient ist. Außerdem erfährt man, wie sich die beiden Quotienten wahrscheinlich in den nächsten Jahren verändern werden (Tabelle 14).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Und so sieht das in Many Eyes (im Bearbeitungsmodus) aus:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;padding: 1em 0pt; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://docs.google.com/File?id=ddvf735j_48d7sn56cg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;Im Gapminder kann ich mir dann ansehen, wie sich in den letzten Jahren die Geburtenrate verringert und die Lebenserwartung erhöht hat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/oandreas/534996118/&quot; title=&quot;Photo Sharing&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1413/534996118_89c970c2fb.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;362&quot; alt=&quot;SnagIt Capture&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Und damit waren die Grundlagen für das Problem gelegt, das Prof. Dr. Birg mit der &quot;ausgefallenen Generation&quot; und den &quot;Eltern die nie geboren wurden&quot; umschreibt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Im Gapminder wird das sichtbar/erahnbar, wenn man sich die zu versorgenden Personen pro Arbeitendem und die Lebenserwartung anschaut:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/oandreas/534984770/&quot; title=&quot;Photo Sharing&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1308/534984770_425f54168e.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;361&quot; alt=&quot;Gapminder&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Um zu verstehen was der &lt;a href=&quot;http://tools.google.com/gapminder/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Gapminder&quot;&gt;Gapminder&lt;/a&gt; sonst noch leistet empfehle ich erstens die 1-Minute-Demo in der Hilfe und zweitens den &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/92&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Vortrag von Hans Rosling&quot;&gt;Vortrag von Hans Rosling&lt;/a&gt; bei den TED Talks.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;object  codebase=&quot;http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;285&quot; id=&quot;VE_Player&quot; &gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://static.videoegg.com/ted/flash/loader.swf&quot;&gt;&lt;PARAM NAME=&quot;FlashVars&quot; VALUE=&quot;bgColor=FFFFFF&amp;file=http://static.videoegg.com/ted/movies/HANSROSLING_high.flv&amp;autoPlay=false&amp;fullscreenURL=http://static.videoegg.com/ted/flash/fullscreen.html&amp;forcePlay=false&amp;logo=&amp;allowFullscreen=true&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;quality&quot; value=&quot;high&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowScriptAccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;bgcolor&quot; value=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;scale&quot; value=&quot;noscale&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;window&quot;&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://static.videoegg.com/ted/flash/loader.swf&quot; FlashVars=&quot;bgColor=FFFFFF&amp;file=http://static.videoegg.com/ted/movies/HANSROSLING_high.flv&amp;autoPlay=false&amp;fullscreenURL=http://static.videoegg.com/ted/flash/fullscreen.html&amp;forcePlay=false&amp;logo=&amp;allowFullscreen=true&quot; quality=&quot;high&quot; allowScriptAccess=&quot;always&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; scale=&quot;noscale&quot; wmode=&quot;window&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;285&quot; name=&quot;VE_Player&quot; align=&quot;middle&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; pluginspage=&quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Diesen Vortrag empfehle ich auch allen 80-Seiten PowerPoint Präsentierern mal als Musterbeispiel für eine gelungende Präsentation - der Höhepunkt ist seine Sportreporternummer.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;</description>

&lt;p class=&quot;flickr-yourcomment&quot;&gt;	
Passend zum Posting &quot;Die vierte Dimension&quot; kam heute ein WIRED-Artikel zum Thema: Dimension-Bending Games Stretch Fabric of Space and Time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hier finde ich die Aussage: &quot;In essence, the game instills the exact mentality with which a good mathematician, geometrist or theoretical physicist views the world. Seriously, they ought to make this thing mandatory in grade 3 math; it&apos;s that good.&quot; sehr interessant, denn ich kann mir gut verstellen, dass man hier durch Spielen tatsächlich sehr gut lernen kann.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aber das Beste am ganzen Artikel ist der Link ganz unten (instructional video) der zur Seite Imagining the Tenth Dimension &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tenthdimension.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.tenthdimension.com/&lt;/a&gt; führt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Der Video dort visualisiert und erklärt die Mehrdimensionalität sehr anschaulich (genau wie es das Bild des springenden Mannes hier im Artikel für die 3 Dimensionen Breite, Höhe, Zeit tut).

Auch dieses Bild ist gut (aber nicht so umfangreich wie das im vorherigen Posting) aufbereitet:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- 3 Sets&lt;br /&gt;
- 2 Pools&lt;br /&gt;
- 7 Tags&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aber es wurde noch viel besser angenommen:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- 73 Favoriten&lt;br /&gt;
- seitenweise Kommentare&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Allerdings ist trotz der umfangreichen Metainformation die Querverbindung dieser beider Bilder etwas mager, wie man hier sieht:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Passend zum Flickr-Posting bin ich heute auf ein Beispiel gestoßen, mit dem man schön zeigen kann, wie trotz viel Aufwand noch viele Querverbindungen in Flickr einfach fehlen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dieses Bild meines Bruders ist sehr gut aufbereitet:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- enthalten in 2 Sets&lt;br /&gt;
- in 25 Gruppen-Pools eingestellt&lt;br /&gt;
- 17 Tags in zwei Sprachen (deutsch/englisch)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
und wurde auch gut angenommen:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- 6 Favoriten&lt;br /&gt;
- 9 Kommentare&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Und trotzdem gibt es annähernd keine Querverbindung zum Bild im nächsten Posting...

Diese Map zeigt einen Versuch die Querverbindungen innerhalb meines Blog und die Verbindungen zu anderen Blogs zu visualisieren und eine verbesserte Navigationsmöglichkeit zu schaffen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Außerdem ist es durch den Aufbau möglich, die Beiträge chronologisch zu sortieren, sie aber auch nach Tags (in diesem Fall in den Themen-Unterästen zu filtern) - dazu müssen die Themen nur noch mit Icons versehen werden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Die Querverbinder können durch ihre Formatierung (Pfeile oder stumpfe Enden sowie Farben) auch sehr leicht mit Bedeutung versehen werden. Außerdem kann man sie mit &quot;floating topics&quot; beschreiben.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Der manuelle Aufwand ist natürlich sehr hoch. Daher suche ich nach einer ähnlichen Lösung, die sich quasi automatisiert erstellt und dabei bin ich auf das Thema Bliki gespannt...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Und auch mein österreichischer Deja-Vu-Verursacher Steppenwolf sucht nach ähnlichen Dingen (zu etwas anderen Zwecken): &lt;a href=&quot;http://steppenhund.twoday.net/stories/3511500/&quot;&gt;http://steppenhund.twoday.net/stories/3511500/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ich bin schon gespannt, wohin uns diese Suche führt.

Heute habe ich mit meinem Sohn unseriös Lego gespielt (also zum Spaß) und dabei ist das hier sichtbare Bild entstanden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Das gleiche Ergebnis könnte auch beim seriösen (eben nicht zum Spaß) Spielen entstehen. Im Rahmen einer systemischen Organisationsaufstellung mit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seriousplay.com/&quot;&gt;LEGO Serious Play&lt;/a&gt; über das vor einiger Zeit auch &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.weblog.drlist.de/?p=84&quot;&gt;Stephan List&lt;/a&gt; schon geschrieben hatte bildet man nämlich auch Strukturen ab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Das mir dabei der Begriff &quot;Hierarchyänen&quot; in den Sinn kam war dann auch wieder zum Spaß:-)

IBM hat jetzt auch für die Öffentlichkeit einen Teil ihrer 12 Inseln in Second Life freigeschaltet. In einem sehr auffälligen Gebäude habe ich dann dieses Visualisierungs-Projekt gefunden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Auf der zweitobersten Ebene findet man Schreibtische, zwischen denen Information &quot;fliesst&quot;, also quasi eine Abbildung des Workflows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Im Raum darunter schwebt dieses Modell und am Boden der Halle steht der Serverpool.

By Kathy Sierra
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Deathbyslides2&quot; title=&quot;Deathbyslides2&quot; src=&quot;http://headrush.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/deathbyslides2.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;  /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sometimes the best presentation is... &lt;i&gt;no presentation&lt;/i&gt;. Ditch the slides completely. Put the projector in the closet, roll the screen back up, and turn the damn lights back on! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Especially if the slides are bullet points. Or worse... &lt;i&gt;paragraphs.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Or if critical data is presented in a form that leads to brain-death, talked about by Tufte &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.09/ppt2.html&quot; target=_blank class=blines3 title=&quot;Link outside of this blog&quot;&gt;in this Wired article&lt;/a&gt;, and in more detail in his book, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0961392150/ericsbooks04?ref=nosim&quot; target=_blank class=blines3 title=&quot;Link outside of this blog&quot;&gt;The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The second you dim the lights and go into &quot;presentation mode&quot; is the moment you move from a two-way conversation to a one-way lecture/broadcast. It&apos;s hard to be interactive when you&apos;re behind your laptop, at a podium, watching your slides on the small screen. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then there&apos;s the phenomenon of &quot;talking to the slides&quot;, where the speaker is constrained into following a script. Although some can do it, most presenters (including me) aren&apos;t capable of dynamically reconfiguring their slides to customize in realtime for a particular audience. So the speaker just forges on, slide after slide, saying what&apos;s already ON the slide, regardless of what he learned about the group. Then again, asking the attendees for feedback is dangerous when you&apos;re following a script, since it&apos;s tough to really &lt;i&gt;incorporate&lt;/i&gt; anything they say.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But given how many people hate slide presentations, why is it universally assumed that where there is &quot;a talk&quot;, there&apos;s PowerPoint (or its much cooler cousin, Apple&apos;s KeyNote)? Conference coordinators rarely ask speakers &lt;i&gt;if&lt;/i&gt; they&apos;ll be projecting slides. They send out the slide templates, then start demanding your slides several weeks before the show. Saying you don&apos;t have slides is like saying you&apos;ll give your talk naked. &quot;You mean... you&apos;re going out there &lt;i&gt;with nothing???&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I know the arguments in favor of slides:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Visuals are more memorable than words alone.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;True. There&apos;s almost nobody in the computer book business that believes that as much as we do. But bullet points are still the prevailing content of most slides, and they usually add &lt;i&gt;nothing&lt;/i&gt; unless the speaker truly sucks, or has such a dramatically hard-to-parse accent that it&apos;s the only way you can get the info.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;You have no choice when you&apos;re presenting something that must be &lt;i&gt;shown&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are times when the very content you&apos;re speaking on directly relates to something you need or want to show. A screen shot, a design, a building, an animation, etc.  Often you need to show quantitative data in a chart or graph. These are completely valid reasons, and slides might indeed be the best way. But they aren&apos;t the &lt;i&gt;only&lt;/i&gt; way to show that data. Handouts and giant poster boards (for small rooms and a small number of items to show) can often work better.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But yes, there are definitely times you need slides, and at the end of this post I&apos;ll mention where you might look for info on making kick-ass presentations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;It keeps the speaker and presentation on track.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m sure you all realize what a lame-ass excuse &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; is, but I&apos;ve heard it enough times to know some folks believe it. I won&apos;t even go there.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now, I&apos;m not an expert on presentations, and not a particularly good presenter myself, so take this with a grain of salt. But I &lt;i&gt;am&lt;/i&gt; applying what we&apos;ve learned over the years about the brain and learning, so this isn&apos;t just a wild guess either. Here&apos;s the recommendation I used to give our Java instructors:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Do You Need Slides Test&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1) Is what you&apos;re showing absolutely dependent on the learners seeing something you cannot simply describe in words?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;   -- If YES, is the room small enough to use a flipchart, white board, or posters? &lt;br /&gt;           
-- If the room or audience size is too large, can you use handouts?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2)  If NO (your content does not &lt;i&gt;require&lt;/i&gt; visuals), then what are you trying to achieve with the slides?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;   -- If you think it&apos;s because the attendees &lt;i&gt;want&lt;/i&gt; slides, think again. &lt;i&gt;Expect&lt;/i&gt; them? Yes. &lt;i&gt;Need&lt;/i&gt; them? No.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;   -- If you think it&apos;s to help you stay on track, &lt;i&gt;find another way!&lt;/i&gt; Use note cards. They&apos;re far easier to rearrange at a moment&apos;s notice, especially if you can keep your talk more modular/fine-grained.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;   -- If it&apos;s to keep the attendees awake and alert and add &lt;i&gt;emotional&lt;/i&gt; hooks and increase memorability or understanding, then you&apos;ve got a point. But in that case, you need to apply the &lt;i&gt;other&lt;/i&gt; test:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;The &quot;Do My Slides Suck&quot; Test&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1) Do your slides contain mostly bullet points?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2) Do you have more than 12-15 words on a slide?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;3) Do your slides add little or no new info beyond what you can say in words?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;4) Are your slides, in fact, &lt;i&gt;not memorable&lt;/i&gt;? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;5) Are your slides emotionally empty?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;6) Do your slides fail to encourage a deeper connection to or understanding of the topic?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;7) Do your slides distort the data? (That&apos;s a whooooole different thing I&apos;m not addressing now)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;8) Do your slides encourage cognitive weakness? (refer to Tufte)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A &quot;Yes&quot; to &lt;i&gt;any&lt;/i&gt; of those could be a huge red flag that something&apos;s wrong.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you&apos;re still committed to slides, or if you&apos;re certain you need them, here&apos;s my favorite overall recommendation:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt; Put each slide on trial for its life. Ask it to defend itself. &lt;i&gt;Show no mercy.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;Stupidslide&quot; title=&quot;Stupidslide&quot; src=&quot;http://headrush.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/stupidslide.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;  /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Make it beg, make it plead, make it sell itself. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If it doesn&apos;t convince you, kill it. And if there aren&apos;t enough left to justify using slides, &lt;i&gt;just say no.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The best presenters, in my opinion, get the best of both worlds. They can dynamically shift between &quot;lights dimmed slide mode&quot; and &quot;lights up, let&apos;s talk&quot; mode without blinking. They don&apos;t let the slides constrain them to a script, and they don&apos;t let the slide &lt;i&gt;equipment&lt;/i&gt; keep them trapped behind the invisible wall that separates them from the participants. They can rearrange their slides in realtime. &lt;i&gt;Their slides rock!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But right now, I&apos;m too slow and clumsy and don&apos;t present often enough to &lt;i&gt;ever&lt;/i&gt; get that good, so I choose (most of the time) the path of interaction. But when I &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; need slides, I know exactly who I&apos;m looking to for help-- I &lt;b&gt;love&lt;/b&gt; the guys at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.missinglink.co.za/&quot; target=_blank class=blines3 title=&quot;Link outside of this blog&quot;&gt;Missing Link!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And although I haven&apos;t read it yet, I reckon &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0735620520/ericsbooks04?ref=nosim&quot; target=_blank class=blines3 title=&quot;Link outside of this blog&quot;&gt;Cliff Atkinson&apos;s book&lt;/a&gt; is probably quite good, because his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.beyondbullets.com/&quot; target=_blank class=blines3 title=&quot;Link outside of this blog&quot;&gt;Beyond Bullets&lt;/a&gt; blog on this is great. And &lt;a href=&quot;http://sethgodin.typepad.com/&quot; target=_blank class=blines3 title=&quot;Link outside of this blog&quot;&gt;Seth Godin&lt;/a&gt;, as always, has good and &lt;i&gt;strong&lt;/i&gt; advice (no more than 6, yes 6, words per slide!) And if you&apos;re displaying critical data, for the love of all that&apos;s good and right in the world, follow Tufte&apos;s advice unless you&apos;re a skilled information designer. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Having said all this, I &lt;i&gt;did&lt;/i&gt; see a spectacular use of Power Point at Rochester&apos;s Eastman House museum, where I was lucky enough to catch David Byrne (from Talking Heads) art installation, &lt;a  href=&quot;http://www.davidbyrne.com/art/eeei/index.php&quot; target=_blank class=blines3 title=&quot;Link outside of this blog&quot;&gt;Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information&lt;/a&gt;, which you can also get in a book/DVD combo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&apos;ll leave you with Tufte&apos;s fateful words, &quot;Power corrupts. PowerPoint corrupts absolutely.&quot; Be careful out there... &lt;i&gt;someone could get hurt.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;table width=&quot;100%&quot; cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0&gt;
&lt;td align=&quot;left&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;


&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td align=&quot;right&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
