As a result, management needs to be culturally sensitive and aware of the subtle differences in the way people of different nationalities interpret words and gestures. Take gestures and smiles out of the equation, and recipients can easily get the wrong idea, especially when the sender isn’t the most articulate writer. Better yet, take a little walk across the office and talk to your employees face-to-face.

How many times have you sent an e-mail with the best intentions, only to have its message misconstrued on the other end? A short response sent in haste can easily be misinterpreted as a lack of care — or worse, as a sign that you’re angry.

If a pencil case is misplaced, the information that is printed on it will help a student regain their belongings.

The Chinese are hoping that Three Gorges will become a major tourist attraction. It was one of three concepts to receive funds for further study in the 2006 Discovery selection. Everyone has had at least one micromanager at some point in his or her career. This meddler is like a shadow, hanging around every employee’s desk to make sure teach one turns work in on time.

Starting this month, we’ll be adding this information to the Terra homepage and updating it weekly using data provided by the Operations Team. The DSN operates according to the standards of the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems, as do most other deep space networks, and hence the DSN is able to inter-operate with the networks of other space agencies. Recessed lights, track lighting, and tapered torchères add drama to the space as they spotlight log trusses and ceiling beams. Put a group of different personalities in the same room for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, add the stress of multiple deadlines, and you’ve got a recipe for conflict.
