A new way to get subject line standout Getting the email subject line to standout in the inbox is a continual challenge. Here I’ll show you how you can experiment with a technique you don’t see discussed much in email marketing. It’s about the potential of symbols, such as snowmen and hearts, to achieve this. I say “potential” deliberately – do you think it’s a useful technique – would you use it and when? Email clients have been improving their support for world languages and this has meant also support for the many symbols that are defined in the world character set, known as Unicode. I decided to try a few symbols and see just how well email clients did in correctly showing them. The webmail clients for Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail all had good support. Hotmail Yahoo Gmail Outlook 2003 to 2010 support Unicode symbols, this is how the Outlook 2010 inbox looks: iPhone and iPad had no problems either, however the standard Android 2.2 email client whilst showing the heart symbol (♥) did not show the snowman (☃) or smilie (☺).

Dvorak Simplified Keyboard The modern Dvorak Simplified Keyboard (US layout) The Dvorak Simplified Keyboard ( i/d(ə)ˈvɔræk/ d-VOR-ak) is a keyboard layout patented in 1936 by Dr. August Dvorak and his brother-in-law, Dr. William Dealey. Over the years several slight variations were designed by the team led by Dvorak or by ANSI. Overview[edit] The Dvorak layout was designed to replace the QWERTY keyboard layout (the de facto standard keyboard layout, so named for the starting letters in the top row). Many common letter combinations require awkward finger motions.Many common letter combinations require a finger to jump over the home row.Many common letter combinations are typed with one hand. Dvorak studied letter frequencies and the physiology of people's hands and created a layout to alleviate the problems he identified with the QWERTY layout. The Dvorak layout is intended for the English language. The layout was completed in 1932 and was granted U.S. History[edit] Original Dvorak layout[edit] Records[edit]
What's funny? - SciForums.com The results of a humour study are in. I found the differences in the kinds of jokes found funniest by people of different nations interesting. For example: People from The Republic of Ireland, the UK, Australia and New Zealand expressed a strong preference for jokes involving word plays, such as: Patient: “Doctor, I've got a strawberry stuck up my bum.” Americans and Canadians much preferred gags where there was a sense of superiority – either because a person looked stupid, or was made to look stupid by another person, such as: Texan: “Where are you from?” Finally, many European countries, such as France, Denmark and Belgium, liked jokes that were somewhat surreal, such as: An Alsatian went to a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote: “Woof. These European countries also enjoyed jokes that involved making light of topics that often make us feel anxious, such as death, illness, and marriage. Interestingly, Germany was the exception.

In this, the typist centers his or her fingers on FGHJ, on a normal standard keyboard. This is a much better system than any one handed keyboard, or alternative layouts like one hand Dvorak. I know, I am a one handed typist. Most one handed typists who cannot type well are trying to look at the keys as they type. You are going to need to spend hours in front of a keyboard, practicing the one-hand typing drills to teach you to type without looking at the keys. In touch typing you have a HOMEBASE.
