How to end an email - and 27 sign-offs you should avoid | Business Analysis & Features Writing an email isn't so hard, but figuring out how to sign off can be a real challenge. Is "cheers" too casual? Too pretentious? Too British? Is “sincerely” timeless and professional, or stodgy and overly formal? Perhaps, as Matthew J.X. But as anyone who has sat staring blankly at a screen, weighing “best” vs. “Not closing seems way too abrupt,” business etiquette expert Barbara Pachter tells Business Insider. What people who work in McDonald's really think of their job Will Schwalbe, one of the authors “SEND: Why People Email So Badly and How to Do It Better,” agrees, pointing out that “we don't go around in life barking orders at one another and we shouldn't on email either.” And, manners aside, the email close serves a practical function. It's also an opportunity to define or redefine your relationship to your correspondent, Schwalbe adds. We had Pachter, Schwalbe, and Licht weigh in on 28 common email closings. THE WINNER: 'Best' So when in doubt, go with "best". 'Thanks' 'Thanks!' 'xx'

Definición de globalización La globalización es un fenómeno moderno que puede ser analizado desde diversos ángulos. El término proviene del inglés globalization, donde global equivale a mundial. Por eso, hay quienes creen que el concepto más adecuado en castellano sería mundialización, derivado del vocablo francés mondialisation. A grandes rasgos, podría decirse que la globalización consiste en integración de las diversas sociedades internacionales en un único mercado capitalista mundial. Los defensores de este fenómeno mundial exponen multitud de razones para estar a favor del mismo. Existen numerosas corrientes de pensamiento que creen que la globalización trasciende la cuestión económica y abarca a la cultura, por ejemplo. Entre los argumentos que utilizan las personalidades y organismos más críticos con la citada globalización se encuentran también el que dicho fenómeno favorece la privatización, aumenta la competencia, se produce la “fuga de cerebros” y se sobreexplota el medio ambiente.

Mercosur debate cómo lograr el regreso de Paraguay al bloque AnteriorSiguiente La cumbre del Mercosur que se realizará este viernes en la ciudad de Montevideo se centrará sobre el reclamo de Paraguay, que establece como condición para reintegrarse al bloque asumir la presidencia pro témpore en lugar de Venezuela. Se espera que los presidentes de Argentina, Cristina Kirchner; Brasil, Dilma Rousseff; Uruguay, José Mujica; y Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, envíen un mensaje político exhortando a Paraguay para regresar al bloque. A ellos, se sumará Evo Morales, mandatario de Bolivia, en proceso de adhesión al bloque y con la expectiva de que se haga un repudio a los episodios vividos la semana pasada en Europa. Paraguay se encuentra suspendido desde el año pasado, en represalia por la destitución de Fernando Lugo. Eso será en agosto, con la asunción de Horacio Cartes. Maduro dijo este martes que cedería el mando, si eso ayudaba a la reincorporación de Paraguay, pero el ofrecimiento despertó sospechas entre los políticos de ese país. Embed

vintage everyday Fraudes na Uerj evidenciam falhas do sistema de cotas  - Educação - Notícia - VEJA.com A foto de uma jovem em uma praia, publicada no Facebook, motivou o comentário de uma amiga. "Ficou morena?", perguntou. A menina da foto, para não deixar dúvida sobre como se enxerga, respondeu com um palavrão irreproduzível: "Sou loira, p..." Desde setembro, a jovem da foto, Vanessa Daudt, frequenta o curso de enfermagem na Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, a Uerj. Como cotista, Vanessa disputou 16 vagas com 34 candidatos - 2,19 interessados em cada cadeira. O MP, diante do volume de denúncias, faz o que a instituição já deveria ter feito: evitar a farra que subverteu não só os critérios de meritocracia para ingresso na universidade, mas a própria lógica das cotas. Cotistas da UERJ investigados pelo MP O caminho da investigação será longo. Na sexta-feira, no intervalo de uma das aulas do curso de enfermagem da Uerj, Vanessa, a estudante loira que abre este texto, defendeu seu direito ao benefício. Vale, para os efeitos legais, a autodeclaração da cor da pele. TAGs: Justiça

Historia - Presentación Dicen los manuales que la Historia, como disciplina académica, comienza en aquel momento en que nuestros antepasados inventaron la escritura. Si, como límite teórico para separar historia de prehistoria, este argumento puede tener validez, no sirve si levantamos la vista de las viejas tablillas cuneiformes mesopotámicas, pues ya entonces estaba muy avanzado ese proceso que Rykwert llamó «la idea de ciudad». En los más de 5.000 años que nos separan de las primeras ciudades de las cuencas del Tigris y del Éufrates, el mundo, el globo que habitamos, ha sufrido tantas transformaciones que el oficio de historiador ha debido parcelarse para poder abarcarlas. La Historia, como tal, se ocupa de la narración lineal de todas esas transformaciones pero también de todos los fenómenos transversales que las ponen en relación y que permiten entender de forma global la evolución de la Humanidad. Juan Manuel Abascal
