I 23 comandamenti dell'e-mail Emoticon La regola d'oro dell'e-mail: non inviare ad altri ciò che troveresti tu stesso sgradevole ricevere. Un suggerimento da seguire: Quando scrivi un'e-mail non guardarti allo specchio ma “guarda” intensamente il tuo lettore, è un atto di altruismo che ti verrà ripagato. Non usare l'e-mail per alcun proposito illegale o non etico. Non diffondere né spam né messaggi appartenenti a catene di S. Antonio. Includere sempre l'argomento del messaggio in modo chiaro e specifico; non inviare mai e-mail prive del campo "oggetto". Rispondere sempre alle e-mail, se non altro per dare la conferma al mittente di presa visione. Cercare di rispondere alle e-mail mantenendo sempre lo stesso argomento (topic) per conservare una struttura storica ordinata dei messaggi inviati e ricevuti (storico discussione (thread)), "agganciandoli" uno dopo l'altro, evitando possibilmente di spedire un nuovo messaggio per un argomento già in corso di discussione. Seguire le regole di citazione per scrivere la risposta a una e-mail. Mantenere la privacy dei mittenti/destinatari, cancellando dal testo l'eventuale indirizzo di posta elettronica del mittente (se si inoltra una e-mail quando il destinatario non dovesse conoscere il mittente originale) e utilizzando la casella Bcc o Ccn (e non quella A o Cc) se si deve inviare la stessa e-mail a destinatari che non si conoscono tra loro. Fare molta attenzione all'ortografia e alla grammatica del proprio messaggio. Non insultare e non fare uso indiscriminato di parole scritte in maiuscolo (esse, infatti, corrispondono al tono di voce alto del parlato, e dunque denotano nervosismo o cattiveria). Riflettere bene su come il destinatario possa reagire al proprio messaggio: valutare se può essere realmente interessato al contenuto e utilizzare eventualmente le emoticon per indicare il tono della conversazione, in particolare se scrivono battute (se è diverso da quello che potrebbe fare pensare la semplice lettura del testo). La dimensione del messaggio da inviare non deve essere troppo grande (al posto di allegati di grandi dimensioni si possono inserire nel testo del messaggio dei link a tali risorse reperibili in altro modo, per esempio via FTP o HTTP); bisogna tenere presente che la dimensione massima ammessa per gli allegati può essere diversa in base al provider di posta utilizzato. Eventualmente è meglio concordare col destinatario le modalità di invio di allegati pesanti. Gli allegati devono essere di formati diffusi e aperti (come .pdf o .jpeg per le immagini) in modo da essere facilmente apribili con i dispositivi e i sistemi operativi più diffusi, già settati per la stampa, ed eventualmente compressi con programmi nativi del sistema operativo. Non inviare messaggi privati da postazioni o account dai quali possono essere letti da altri o se lo si fa ricordarsi di eliminare le tracce. Citare il testo a cui si risponde il più brevemente possibile, ma in modo che risulti comunque chiaro in cima alla risposta. Non richiedere indiscriminatamente, per qualsiasi messaggio, la ricevuta di ritorno da parte del destinatario. Non allegare file con nomi eccessivamente lunghi o che contengono caratteri particolari come quelli di punteggiatura o lettere con segni diacritici, in quanto potrebbero creare problemi con alcune piattaforme. Non impostare indiscriminatamente, per qualsiasi messaggio, il flag di importante e/o urgente (è come gridare "al lupo, al lupo" inutilmente): con il passare del tempo chi riceverà le tue e-mail ignorerà il flag. Scrivere in modo semplice e diretto, con periodi brevi e andando a capo spesso perché gli spazi bianchi delle interlinee aiutano la lettura. Fare una lista per punti se ci sono molte cose da dire: il testo così si leggerà facilmente anche su uno smartphone. Salvare il proprio messaggio in bozza quando quest'ultimo viene scritto di getto, per poi rileggerlo successivamente e se necessario modificarlo prima di inviarlo. Leggere il proprio messaggio almeno 3 volte prima di inviarlo e dimostrare di avere almeno letto il messaggio del mittente approfonditamente prima di dare risposte senza pensare. Se possibile prediligi i contenuti in formato testo selezionabile rispetto a quelli in formato immagine (ad esempio un testo scansionato o fotografato): renderai più facile il lavoro a chi ha la necessità di effettuare la ricerca di un termine nel testo, di fare copia-incolla o di usare un lettore di testo per non vedenti o ipovedenti. Non dimenticare una formula di saluto al/alla destinatario/a all'inizio della e-mail. Firmare sempre con il proprio nome alla fine del messaggio, a meno che la firma non sia già inclusa nell'oggetto.

Hae Hawai'i (Hawaiian Flag) Symbolisms

From both side of me i heard a gradual crescendo of excitement and laughter rippling along the trenches, interspersed with barked orders that everyone was to keep their heads down and no one was to shoot. From my vantage point on the mound I could see only an occasional glimpse of a steel helmet, my only evidence that the voices I was hearing did indeed belong to real people. There was the sweet smell of cooking food wafting towards me and I lifted my nose to savour it. It was sweeter than the sweetest bran-mash I had ever tasted and it had a tinge of salt about it. I was drawn first one way and then the other by this promise of warm food, but each time I neared the trenches on either side I met an impenetrable barrier of loosely coiled barbed wire. The soldiers cheered me on as I came closer, showing their heads fully now over the trenches and beckoning me towards them; and when I had to turn back at the wire and crossed no man’s land to the other side, I was welcomed again there by a chorus of whistling and clapping, but again I could find no way through the wire. I must have criss-crossed no man’s land for much of that morning, and found at long last in the middle of this blasted wilderness a small patch of coarse, dank grass growing on the lip of an old crater. I was busying myself at tearing the last of this away when I saw, out of the corner of my eye, a man in a grey uniform clamber up out of the trenches, waving a white flag above his head. I looked up as he began to clip his way methodically through the wire and then pull it aside. All this time there was much argument and noisy consternation from the other side; and soon a small, helmeted figure in a flapping khaki greatcoat climbed up into no man’s land. He too held up a white handkerchief in one hand and began also to work his way through the wire towards me.

And the plains near the playground are huge. We could run forever. Mia: Tom, you look really serious. Are you thinking of a new game? Tom: Maybe… let’s clear this area and play “Treasure Explorer.” Mia: Perfect! I’ll hide the treasure in my sack first. Tom: Ready! Let’s go find it before the “aircraft” spies us from the sky!

"The fourth thing to do is practice dancing, Luis!" Maria and Luis dress in their party clothes. Then, they dance and spin. Soon, the house fills up with food, family, and music. There are six cousins, two aunts, three uncles, and three grandparents. There is Papa, Mama, Emily, Maria, and Luis, too. "There is one last thing we can do," Maria says. "And it's the most fun!" "What is it?" asks Luis. "CELEBRATE!" says Maria.
