Dear Trevor,
Welcome to Options and Opportunities at Sackville High School. As you know, I will be teaching you Community Based Learning 10
and Career Development 10. Since we’re going to be together for half of the school day for the rest of the year, I thought it would
be good for us to get to know each other.
My full name is Paul William Wozney, but you should call me Mr. Wozney or Mr. W, although when we see each other at the
supermarket in about 10 years, feel free to call me Paul then! My name is an English interpretation of a Polish name, and a lot of
people have a hard time trying to pronounce and spell it.
The most important people in my life are my wife, Lori, to whom I’ve been married for over 9 years, my son Jonah, who is 5 years
old, my daughter Lois, who is 2 years old, and my baby girl Lila, who was born 7 days ago. My parents and my middle sister live in
Halifax, and my baby sister is married and lives and works in Summerside, PEI.
Some of the things I enjoy doing are cooking (I bake KILLER cookies), playing guitar and singing, making movies (I shot a 13 minute
long documentary a couple years ago), writing (especially letters to the editor), blogging and participating on message boards. I’m
handy with tools and enjoy building things, and I’m also a major computer geek. I think if I were deprived of internet access for a
week I might die… (No, seriously!)
You may hear me talk about sports a lot this year. I am a major football fan. I cheer for the Green Bay Packers, the Saskatchewan
Roughriders, the St. Mary’s Huskies and our very own Kingfishers. I am also a lifelong fan of the Montreal Canadiens. I don’t hate
people who cheer for the Maple Leafs, as long as they don’t talk to me about it… (I’m kidding…) I also love mixed martial arts- I
enjoy watching the UFC, and the fighters I enjoy the most are Georges St. Pierre, David Loiseau and Anderson Silva.
I used to play league hockey when I lived in Montreal, but I’ve never been able to find a league to play in since I moved back to
Halifax. I played center and left wing, and I’m an agitating defensive forward who loves the corners and taking faceoffs. I played
high school football for JL Ilsley, but I decided not to play in grade 12 because there was a lot of fighting and drama between the
players at the end of grade 11.
High school wasn’t a fun time for me. I struggled to make friends and be accepted, and I was a short, overweight kid for grade 10
and 11, and I did very well in school. A lot of people gave me a hard time for that, and for having a religious faith that mattered a
lot to me. I grew almost 6 inches between grade 11 and grade 12, and people really treated me differently after that. They were
nicer to me, but I knew it wasn’t because who I was had changed. Luckily, I had a couple of friends that meant the world, and they
are still amongst my closest friends today.
As you get to know me, you’ll find out what I’m like. One of the things that I like about myself is that I give what I do my very best
effort- in sports, they say people like me have a “non-stop motor.” That comes in handy as a teacher because I do what it takes to
help my students succeed. One of my goals this year is to find ways to build fantastic relationships with students; teaching 02 is a lot
different than other classes, and I’m looking forward to the change in dynamics with my students, and to the connections we build
together.
I know we’re doing a lot of work right now taking a look at skills, interests, learning styles and lots of other things, but most of all
I’m interested in you and helping you find a path for your life you can be excited about and find true success in. Feel free to drop
me a letter or email in response.
Once again, welcome to 02. We’re going to have an amazing time together!
Yours truly,
Mr. Wozney
Introducing people
http://www.rightattitudes.com/2007/11/03/etiquette-protocol-introducing-people/
The purpose of introducing people is to give them an opportunity to know each other. Beyond just stating names of the two parties, it is often the obligation of the person making the introduction to establish an acquaintance and help the two parties initiate a conversation.
Four Steps for Introductions
The basic protocol of introductions calls for introducing the ‘lesser-ranking’ (socially, professionally, by age or seniority) to the ‘higher-ranking’ person. Here are four steps.
Firstly, state the name of the person being introduced to. This is the ‘higher-ranking’ person.
Secondly, say “I would like to introduce” or, “please meet” or, “this is,” etc.
Thirdly, state the name of the person being introduced. This is the ‘lower-ranking’ person.
Finally, offer some details of each other, as appropriate. As I wrote in a previous blog article, add a snippet of information about a topic of common interest between the two parties. Do not elaborate. This will help them connect and pursue a conversation.
When introducing people of equal seniority or status, you may introduce any person to the other.
A Few Examples
Introduce a younger person to an older person. “Grandma, please meet Alicia and Carlos Sanchez, my neighbors.”
Introduce a relatively junior professional to a senior professional. “Ms. Director, I would like to introduce Mr. Ram Prasad Rao, the Chief Product Architect for our software division.”
Introduce an employee to a customer. “Mr. Sung, I would like to introduce our plastics engineering team. This is Mark Smith, Jessica Ramos and Liang Zhu. All three participated in last week’s teleconference regarding product definition.”
Introduce a host to a guest. “Elaine, I don’t think you have met my daughter, Archana. Archana arranged for all the food at this festival party. Archana, Elaine is my Project Manager.”
Introduce a local guest to a from-another-town guest. “Suresh, this is Debbie. Debbie is my colleague from work. Debbie, Suresh is visiting me from Ann Arbor. We shared an apartment when we went to school at the University of Michigan.”
Introduce a peer from your company to a peer from another organization. “Mellissa, I would like you to meet Subramani Iyer, our Systems Engineer. Subramani, Melissa Hoffmann is from Marketing. She is the Account Manager for Wal-Mart.”
Gender Distinction
Customarily, a number of people introduce a man to a woman out of respect, regardless of the guidelines presented above.
When introducing a man and a woman at work, consider their positions and seniorities alone. Outside of work, it may be more appropriate to introduce a man to a woman, in contradiction to the above guidelines. Only be judicious and sensitive.
Concluding Thoughts
Many people have difficulty introducing people to one another and helping establish a conversation. With some practice and a sense of social and/or professional ranking, you too can master the art of introductions.

複数ディスプレイ
1つのEmacsは複数のXディスプレイと通信できます。 Emacsは始めは1つのディスプレイ、つまり、 環境変数DISPLAYかオプション`--display' (see section `初期化オプション' in GNU Emacs マニュアル)で決まる ものを使います。 別のディスプレイに接続するには、 コマンドmake-frame-on-displayを使うか、 フレームを作るときにフレームパラメータdisplayを指定します。
Emacsは各Xサーバーを別々の端末として扱い、 それらのおのおのには選択されているフレームと ミニバッファ用ウィンドウがあります。
少数のLisp変数は端末にローカル(terminal-local)です。 つまり、各端末ごとに別々の束縛があります。 ある時点で有効な束縛は、選択されているフレームが属する端末のものです。 このような変数には、default-minibuffer-frame、 defining-kbd-macro、last-kbd-macro、 system-key-alistがあります。 これらはつねに端末にローカルであり、 バッファローカル(see section 10.10 バッファローカルな変数)や フレームローカルにはけっしてなりません。
1つのXサーバーは複数のスクリーンを扱えます。 ディスプレイ名`host:server.screen'には3つの部分があり、 最後の部分で指定したサーバーのスクリーン番号を指定します。 1つのサーバーに属する2つのスクリーンを使うと、 Emacsはそれらの名前の類似性からそれらが1つのキーボードを共有していると判断し、 それらのスクリーンを1つの端末として扱います。
コマンド: make-frame-on-display display &optional parameters
新たなフレームをディスプレイdisplay上に作成する。 他のフレームパラメータはparametersから得る。 引数displayを除けばmake-frame(see section 28.1 フレームの作成)と 同様である。
Function: x-display-list
Emacsが接続しているXディスプレイを表すリストを返す。 リストの要素は文字列であり、それぞれはディスプレイ名である。
Function: x-open-connection display &optional xrm-string
この関数はXディスプレイdisplayとの接続を開く。 当該ディスプレイ上にフレームは作らないが、 これにより当該ディスプレイと通信可能かどうか検査できる。
省略可能な引数xrm-stringがnilでなければ、 ファイル`.Xresources'で使われ書式と同じ リソース名と値を表す文字列である。 これに指定した値は、Xサーバー自体に記録されているリソースの値に優先し、 Emacsが当該ディスプレイ上に作成するすべてのフレームに適用される。 この文字列の例を以下に示す。
"*BorderWidth: 3\n*InternalBorder: 2\n"
see section 28.22 Xリソース。
Function: x-close-connection display
この関数はディスプレイdisplayとの接続を閉じる。 これを行うまえに、 まず当該ディスプレイ上に作ったフレームをすべて削除しておくこと。
