  • Window Cleaning Magazine
    Window Cleaning Jul/Aug 2016 magazine This issue… and much, much more… Issue 18 Window Cleaning Magazine Editorial Hey Readers, Do you know what one secret of success is? Its very simple - you have to love what you do. I remember in my early days as a trainee print sales man, I would have discussions with my Sales Manager about the 80 or so cold calls I had made in that day. He would tell me that I needed to smile on the phone! At first I thought he was crazy. What did it matter if I was not smiling on a phone call? The person on the other end cannot tell either way, right? Wrong! Within ten seconds of starting a sales call, a prospect would be able to tell if they are talking to beauty or the beast. I learned that smiling actually helped with the tone of my voice, and it is one way of positively affecting its inflection. Without smiling you can sound monotone and therefore come across as boring, or worse uninterested in the sales call you initiated. The reason is not psychological but rather physiological. When you smile, the soft palate at the back of your mouth raises and makes the sound waves more fluid. Smiling helps your voice sound friendly, warm, and receptive. I began to have a cavalier approach to sales calls. I never worried about not closing the deal, I started to have fun with the calls….. And do you know what? It got results. The more fun I had, the more deals I would close and I thought less of the calls that never went anywhere at all.

  • Atti Rss 2010
    PREMESSA AGLI ATTI DELLO OTTAVO REGIONAL SEAPOWER SYMPOSIUM DI VENEZIA del Capo di Stato Maggiore della Marina Il Capo di Stato Maggiore della Marina Il Regional Seapower Symposium (RSS) di Venezia è l’evento che da ormai quattordici anni rappresenta uno dei principali strumenti utilizzati dalla Marina Militare per contribuire allo sviluppo della partnership internazionale e contribuire alla sicurezza marittima globale. Se è vero che il numero ed il livello dei partecipanti costituiscono un’indicazione attendibile dell’importanza di un evento, l’ottava edizione del RSS - che ha visto rappresentanti di 44 Marine che operano nel Mediterraneo Allargato e 20 Organizzazioni Internazionali e realtà militari e civili incontrarsi nella cornice lagunare – può senza dubbio essere definita un successo. Partendo dalla convinzione che il Dialogo e la Cooperazione conferiscano alla Maritime Security un valore aggiunto, rappresentandone un vero e proprio fattore abilitante, i lavori delle sessioni hanno analizzato, da differenti prospettive, il contributo di questo fondamentale binomio a concetti di grande attualità nello scenario marittimo internazionale: la Maritime Situational Awareness, le Maritime Security Operations e la Maritime Capacity Building. L’efficace combinazione di tali concetti consente di conseguire la Maritime Security in senso lato, fattore – quest’ultimo - che sta influenzando e condizionando l’organizzazione operativa delle Marine di tutto il mondo. Le discussioni, gli interventi e gli eventi collaterali di questo Simposio hanno evidenziato l’importanza di una partnership forte ed attiva - sul versante internazionale come su quello nazionale - per un’efficace risposta e contrasto alle sfide che l’attuale ambiente marittimo in continua evoluzione ci pone: la pirateria, il terrorismo e tutte le altre attività illecite che trovano in mare il proprio spazio di manovra rappresentano gli esempi più attuali.

  • Step-Mothertongue: from Nationalism to Multiculturalism the Literatures of Cyprus, Greece and Turkey
    Step-Mothertongue: From Nationalism to Multiculturalism the Literatures of Cyprus, Greece and Turkey Edited by Mehmet Yasın Middlesex University Press, (London,’ 2000) 207 pp. This is a most important publication examining the national and cultural identities of Greeks, Turks, and Cypriots through their literatures. Step-Mothertongue aims to draw attention to the cross-cultural and multicultural traditions through a comparative analysis of the literature and literary traditions of Greece, Turkey and particularly of Cyprus. Step-Mothertongue is timely because it approaches nationalism from a socio-cultural and literary-historical framework, rather than a traditional ethnic identity agenda. The articles in this publication were originally presented at a conference at Middlesex University on 12-13 December 1997, which aimed to build a body of work around the critique of nationalisms in the literature of Greece, Turkey and Cyprus. There are eight articles, an interview of Vamik Volkan by Yael Navaro-Yasın, and an after word by Djemal Kadir. Seven of the eight articles are separated’ into two sections, and a section of Cypriot poetry divides them. The first section titled “National Literatures in a Global Era” comprises four articles. The first article, by Gregory Jusdanis, Ohio State University, questions the absence of contemporary Greek literature from the branch of Western European literature. Twenty years ago critics considered it highly, but the supremacy of Western literary discourses within global literature and the dominance of the English language, have made contemporary Greek literature (and others written in the non- English tongue) a “stranger at the feast”. Jusdanis also argues that the lack of a contemporary Greek literary intelligentsia sophisticated enough to reorient Greek society and deconstruct the mainstream nationalist identity is also to blame, but he fails to answer why such an intelligentsia does not exist.

  • Linguistic Practices in Cyprus and the Emergence of Cypriot Standard Greek*
    San Diego Linguistic Papers 2 (2006) 1-24 LINGUISTIC PRACTICES IN CYPRUS AND THE EMERGENCE OF CYPRIOT STANDARD GREEK* Amalia Arvaniti University of California, San Diego ----------------------------------------------- In Cyprus today systematic changes affecting all levels of linguistic analysis are observed in the use of Standard Greek, giving rise to a distinct linguistic variety which can be called Cypriot Standard Greek. The changes can be attributed to the influence of English and Cypriot Greek (the local linguistic variety), and to the increasing use of the Standard in semi-formal occasions. Equally important is the reluctance to recognize the diglossic situation on the island (in which Standard Greek is the H variety and Cypriot Greek the L), for political and ideological reasons. This in turn means that the attention of the Cypriot speakers is not drawn to the differences between Standard Greek as spoken in Greece and their usage of it; thus the differences become gradually consolidated, while the users remain unaware of them. ----------------------------------------------- 1 Introduction The past two decades have seen a proliferation of scholarly work on the linguistic situation in Cyprus. This body of work is concerned with several topics, such as the speakers’ awareness of the linguistic varieties spoken on the island (e.g., Karyolemou & * This paper is a companion to Arvaniti (this volume b). Although the papers compliment each other, they are written in such a way that each can be read independently of the other; for this reason, some introductory sections (e.g. the historical background) show a degree of overlap. The bulk of the data in this article was gathered in Cyprus from 1996 to 2001, with additional data collected since then using a variety of web resources.

  • The Case of Writers of Greek Cypriot Descent in Australia
    Études helléniques I Hellenic Studies Self-Identification in Literature: The case of Wr iters of Greek Cypriot Descent in Australia Maria Herodotou * RÉSUMÉ Les Chypriotes Grecs en Australie constituent un sous-ensemble de la diaspora hellénique. La migration des Chypriotes en Australie est relativement récente en comparaison avec celle des autres Grecs. Leur plus grand nombre a émigré pendant les années 1960 et surtout après l'invasion turque en 1974. La plupart des écrivains Greco-Chypriotes sont, donc, nés à Chypre et leurs liens avec leur pays natal sont très forts. Le problème politique non résolu renforce ces liens.Cet article examine la façon par laquelle les écrivains Greco-Chypriotes s'identifientavec la Grèce, Chypre et l'Australie en tant que lieux et cultures. Les écrivains se distinguent ainsi en trois larges catégories à partir de la langue qu'ils utilisent (anglais, grec ou grec et anglais). rusage de la langue est une indication du degré de leur liaison à un certain lieu. Cela ne veut pas dire que la langue est le facteur le plus important de leur identification. Les écrivains anglophones (et quelques-uns des écrivains bilingues), par exemple, sont attachés aux deux cultures et cela crée une tension ou même un conflit qui est évident dans leur travail, quoique les hellénophones sont plus à l'aise avec leur iden­ tité hellénique. Ils éprouvent une nostalgie pour Chypre et ils essaient, d'une façon pénible, de recréer ou de reconstruire le lieu et sa culture. Pour tous les écrivains, la Grèce et l'hellénisme deviennent un monde conceptuel.
