  Writing Good E-Mails

  In the present times, the technology has advanced to such great levels that it has made communication a lot easier than before. With technology, passing of information from the informant to the recipient and vice versa takes lesser time and is not even a complicated process as well. The use of technology has also minimized the workload of the human being. 
  Long ago it was required for both the sender and the recipient to be online at the same time for sending the email just like it is required now in instant messaging. In the present times, the functioning of the e-mail is based on the store-and-forward model. E-mail servers are now capable of accepting, forwarding, delivering and storing messages and so it is no longer necessary for the sender and the recipient to be online simultaneously, and a brief connection to a mail server or webmail interface is enough. 
  The first e-mail system was introduced in the year 1968 at UMDNJ, Newark, NJ. There were certain technological components of the E-mail that was condemnatory to its invention. On February 16, 2012, when the act of Smithsonian's acceptance took place, all the documents, articles and artifacts related to the invention of the E-mail were disregarded by the industrialists and started to take up personal fights with Dr. Ayyadurai in order to express feelings of indifference to his work and his life. 
  It is important for the people to learn e-mail writing skills. A good e-mail has increased chances of being attended by the recipient than an improper e-mail. 
  It is a known thing that every useful thing comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. None of the things existing within the world are considered perfect. Similarly, the use of emails for conversing with people comes with its own set of pros and cons.

  Is business just a way to make money? Or can the marketplace a venue for service to others?
  Scott B. Rae and Kenman L. Wong seek to explore this and other critical business issues from a uniquely Christian perspective, offering up a vision for work and service that is theologically grounded and practically oriented. Among the specific questions they address along the way are these:
  
  - What implications does the Christian story have for the vision, mission or sense of purpose that shapes business engagement?
  - What parts of business can be affirmed and practiced "as is" and what parts need to be rejected or transformed?
  - What challenges exist as attempts are made to live out Christian ideals in a broken world characterized by tight margins, fierce competition and short-term investor pressures?
  - How do Christian values inform specific functional areas of business such as the management of people, marketing and environmental sustainability?Business can be even more than an environment through which individual Christians grow in Christlikeness. In this book you'll discover how it can also be a means toward serving the common good.
  The Christian Worldview Integration Series, edited by J. P. Moreland and Francis J. Beckwith, seeks to promote a robust personal and conceptual integration of Christian faith and learning, with textbooks focused on disciplines such as education, psychology, literature, politics, science, communications, biology, philosophy, and history.

  The legendary founder of Vanguard “presents an insider’s view of what’s wrong with corporate America and what can be done to improve it” (Burton G. Malkiel, author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street).New York Times-bestselling author of Enough and The Little Book of Common Sense Investing John Bogle has seen firsthand the innermost workings—and grotesque abuses—of the financial industry, and is renowned as an advocate for the small investor and for the restoration of integrity to the system. He knows that a trustworthy business and financial complex is essential to America’s continuing leadership in the world and to social and economic progress at home. In this book he reveals what went wrong and how we lost our way—and more importantly, how we can right our course. He argues for a return to a governance structure in which owners’ capital that has been put at risk is used in their interests rather than in the interests of corporate and financial managers. Given that ownership is now consolidated in the hands of relatively few large mutual and pension funds, the specific reforms Bogle details in this book are essential as well as practical—and should be considered by every investor, analyst, Wall Streeter, policy maker, and businessperson. “Deserves attention in the precincts of power.”—Publishers Weekly

  Here he tells his story of how it came about and how he learned through trial and error to not only make a decent profit out of it, but to enjoy (nearly) every minute of it.
  
  The book is full of incidents, some beyond belief, others rib-tickling or just plain bizarre. But it is also full of practical advice and tips, all of them summarised at the end of each chapter.
