Global Warming

On Feb. 2, 2007, the United Nations scientific panel studying climate change declared that the evidence of a warming trend is "unequivocal," and that human activity has "very likely" been the driving force in that change over the last 50 years. The last report by the group, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, in 2001, had found that humanity had "likely" played a role.

The addition of that single word "very" did more than reflect mounting scientific evidence that the release of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases from smokestacks, tailpipes and burning forests has played a central role in raising the average surface temperature of the earth by more than 1 degree Fahrenheit since 1900. It also added new momentum to a debate that now seems centered less over whether humans are warming the planet, but instead over what to do about it. In recent months, business groups have banded together to make unprecedented calls for federal regulation of greenhouse gases. The subject had a red-carpet moment when former Vice President Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," was awarded an Oscar; and the Supreme Court made its first global warming-related decision, ruling 5 to 4 that the Environmental Protection Agency had not justified its position that it was not authorized to regulate carbon dioxide.

How To Download

Downloading refers to the method by which you access digital information from a remote computer. As it turns out, almost everything you do on the Web is some form of downloading. For instance, when you access a web page, you are actually downloading the text document and all its associated graphics from a web server. As the digital data arrives, your web browser assembles it on your screen.

Another way to download a file is to click on a link with your right mouse button (or hold the mouse button down if you are using a Mac), and select Save to Disk or Save Target As... from the pop-up menu. In some cases, you will be prompted to save the file somewhere on your hard drive, or the file may download automatically to your desktop, depending on how your browser is configured.

Saving an Image

Once a graphic or photo is displayed on your monitor, you may want to save it for future reference. Here's how to do it:
a) First, place your cursor over the graphic.

b) Windows users: Click your right mouse button. A pop-up box appears. Macintosh users: Click and hold the mouse button until the pop-up box appears.

c) Save the image to your hard drive by selecting the Save Picture AS option.

d) You can accept the current file name or rename the file. (Graphic files are usually in .gif or .jpg format.)

Compressed and Self-Extracting Files

With software, more often than not, you will be downloading files that have been compressed. These may be individual files or groups of files that have been compressed into a single file. This is done to save downloading time and disk space. If the files have been compressed, you need a separate software utility to decompress them.
The exception are self-extracting files, those with a .sea (Macintosh) or .exe (Windows) extension. These files do not require a separate software program to run. Because many files take considerable time to download to your computer, you will want to save yourself the headache of discovering, after the fact, that you downloaded a file that won't run on your computer. How can you tell? Read the Learn The Net article about file formats and extensions for more information on file extensions and how to interpret them.

Buisnee around the WORLD

Sometimes we have lofty work goals: become CEO, earn a million dollars before we're 30, make the cover of Time magazine. And other times we have simpler aims. Perhaps the most universal concern of all workers, regardless of gender or industry, is the desire not to appear foolish.
The prospect of committing a faux pas in front of your peers, boss or clients is enough to make you blush. A case of the hiccups or giving a presentation with your zipper down will haunt you for the rest of your career. The odds of making a social misstep increase when you travel abroad. U.S. workers making business trips to other countries often find themselves trying to put their best foot forward but instead end up stepping on the toes of their hosts.

Don't always clean your plate
The dinner table is the perfect venue to commit a well-intentioned gaffe. Nancy Mitchell of The Etiquette Advocate trains clients on business protocols and etiquette. One of her clients recently admitted that he offended a Chinese business associate on his first trip to Beijing. The business associate invited him to dinner on the first night of the visit. His research taught him that in

China, he shouldn't discuss business at such an early stage of his trip, so he went to dinner confident about his efforts to keep the conversation on learning more about China and his host's family.
As the evening progressed, the American politely ate every bit of food on his plate, even as the courses continued and he was full. When the evening ended, the host's warmth had disappeared and he gave the visitor a cold goodbye. The next morning he found out from a co-worker that in China, cleaning your plate means you weren't given enough food. Several helpings of food signal that the host wasn't generous to his or her guest.

Don't get caught off guard
American travelers can often find themselves in awkward situations through no faults of their own. Asking, "How are you?' can get some surprising responses for Americans, says Elisabetta Ghisini, author of "Communicating the American Way." Americans will normally respond to that question with something quick and cheerful, such as "Fine!" or "Good. How are you?"
"But if you happen to be traveling to

Eastern Europe, such an upbeat attitude would be out of place -- 'I'm surviving' or 'Terrible' are perfectly acceptable options," Ghisini says.
In Germany, unlike in the United States, the birthday boy or girl has the responsibility of initiating celebration, a fact Dustin Weeks learned shortly after she began working for a company. She didn't expect any sort of celebration because she was a new employee, so she remained silent on the matter.
"I was rather surprised when the HR manager who hired me came down to the trading floor to wish me a happy birthday and then all of my colleagues knew," Weeks says. "They immediately formed a line to shake my hand and wish me a happy birthday. I quickly realized that I was supposed to bring in a treat to celebrate my birthday after a few asked me what I had brought."

More tips
Other rules of etiquette American business travelers might find quirky can found in "Cross-Cultural Selling for Dummies" by Michael Soon Lee. Among them:
· You shouldn't give a Chinese person a clock as a gift. This can be viewed as an unlucky action signaling someone's death.
· Knives don't make good gifts in

Japan as they can be seen as symbolic of cutting ties with the recipient.
· In New Zealand, a common greeting between two people is to rub or touch noses.
· In Middle Eastern countries, you shouldn't use your left hand for greetings or to hand someone an object, as the left hand is seen as unclean.

Before you head overseas to woo a client and make some important contacts on behalf of your company, do your homework. Buy some books about etiquette and search online for tips. Some countries even have government-sponsored Web sites that tell visitors what to expect. Perhaps your best resource is a friend or colleague who has visited the country because they can give you advice based on their experiences.
