Ko te 6:00 i te ahiahi, he Tūrei ua i Seattle.
Ko Sarah, te rangatira o tētahi toa kawhe hou, i tū i waho o tana toa, me te maru i te ringa, e titiro ana ki tana tohu. I te wiki kua taha ake nei tana whakatuwheratanga nui. Engari i tēnei pō, kei te kimo haere te "C" i roto i te "COFFEE", ā, kua pōuri rawa te "O". Ko te mea kino rawa atu, kua rere kē ngā tohu waikura i raro i tōna mata ma.
E toru poraka te tawhiti,
I te raka a Mark, te kaiwhakahaere o tētahi toa tunu taro whakataetae. Ko tana tohu—he huinga reta hongere māia, he mea whakamārama whakamuri—e tiaho ana me te āwhiowhio mahana, pumau ki te pakitara pereki. He āhua papai, he ātaahua, he ngaio hoki. Ahakoa te ua, tokotoru ngā kaihoko kua tomo mai, e kukume ana i te mārama mahana.
He aha te rerekētanga?
I hokona e Sarah te kōwhiringa iti rawa te utu i kitea e ia i runga ipurangi mai i tētahi kaihoko kāore i te mārama ki ngā paerewa hiko o Amerika Te Raki. I mahi tahi a Mark me tētahi kaiwhakarato ngaio i mārama ehara te tohu i te whakapaunga noa iho; ko te rūrū ringa tuatahi ki tō kiritaki.
I Jaguarsignage,Ehara i te mea ko ngā reta hongere anake tā mātou e hanga ana; engari ko te ingoa o tō waitohu ka hangaia e mātou. Ahakoa kei Niu Ioka koe, kei Toronto rānei, kei hea rānei puta noa i te US me Kanata, e mōhio ana mātou kāore e taea e ngā rangatira pakihi pēnei i a Sarah te utu i ngā "reta pouri" me te whakaae kia whakakorehia ngā reta.
Anei te take he aha te whakapai ake ki ngā reta hongere ngaio, kua whakamanahia e te UL te haumitanga mohio rawa atu mō tō toa i te tau 2025.
1. Te Rerekētanga "UL Certified": Moe marie i te Pō
I te Hononga o Amerika me Kānata, ehara i te mea whiriwhiri te haumaru. Ko tētahi o ngā moemoeā nui rawa atu mō ngā rangatira pakihi ko te tāpiri whero o tō tohu ki tētahi kaitirotiro ā-rohe nā te mea kāore i te tika te tiwhikete.
Kua whiwhi katoatia ā mātou hua i te Tiwhikete UL. Ko te tikanga tēnei:
Ngāwari te Whakaaetanga: He nui ake te tūponotanga ka whakaaetia wawetia e tō kaunihera tō whakaaetanga tohu ina kite rātou i te tānga UL.
Te Haumaru Tuatahi: Ka whakamatautauria ā mātou wāhanga hiko kia tino ārai i ngā tūponotanga ahi, kia tū atu hoki ki ngā āhuarangi kanorau o Amerika Te Raki—mai i te hotoke hukapapa o Alberta ki te werawera o Arizona.
Te Whakatutukitanga Inihuarangatia: He maha ngā rangatira whenua arumoni e hiahia ana kia whai tohu kua rārangihia ki te UL hei whakatutuki i ngā whakaritenga rīhi. Kei a mātou ngā mea katoa e hiahiatia ana e koe.
2. Hoahoa e Kōrero ana i te Reo o tō Waitohu
E mārama ana mātou ehara i te mea ko te konganuku me te kirihou anake tāu e hoko ana; engari he pānuitanga e wātea ana mō ngā haora 24 i te rā, mō ngā rā katoa, mō ngā rā e whitu o te wiki.
Ka mahi tahi tā mātou tīma hoahoa ā-roto me koe ki te huri i tō waitohu hei mea tūturu. Ahakoa e hiahia ana koe ki te auahatanga hou o ngā Reta Halo-Lit (Whakamuri) me te kaha kanapa o te Acrylic Front-Lit, ka arotauhia e mātou te hoahoa kia kitea nuitia ai, kia roa ai hoki te mau. Kāore mātou e "hanga reta" noa iho; ka tatau mātou i te matotoru LED pai rawa atu kia tiaho ōrite ai tō tohu, me te kore he wāhi wera, he atarangi rānei.
Whakamutunga: Kaua e Tukua tō Pakihi kia Pikopikopiko
Ahakoa kei te moe koe, kei te mahi tonu tō tohu. E whakaatu ana tēnei ki te hunga e haereere ana he ngaio koe, he pono, ā, e tuwhera ana ki te mahi pakihi. Kaua e rite ki a Sarah, e manukanuka ana mō ngā rama e mura ana, e waikura ana hoki. Kia rite ki a Mark—kia māia kei te tiaho tonu tō waitohu, ahakoa ua, ahakoa paki.
Kua rite koe ki te whakamārama i tō pakihi? Whakapā mai ki a mātou i tēnei rā mō tētahi whakatau utu kore utu, ā, me hoahoa he tohu e tū ai te ao, e titiro mai ai.
3. Mai i tō mātou wheketere ki tō tatau: He tukanga kore-mamae
He uaua te kimi i ngā tohu mai i tāwāhi. Ka tae mai i te wā tika? Ka pakaru rānei? Me pēhea taku whakahaere i ngā tikanga tuku iho?
Ka tangohia e mātou te ahotea me tā mātou ratonga Hoahoa-Whakaputa-Kawe whānui:
Te Hanganga Tika: Ka whakamahia e mātou ngā mīhini piko aunoa me ngā rauemi kounga teitei (pēnei i te maitai kore waikura 304 me te kiriaku ātete-UV) kia roa ai te ora.
Te Takai Haumaru: E mōhio ana mātou ki te uaua o te tuku. Koia mātou i hanga ai i ā mātou tohu mō te kawe tawhiti ki te US me Kanata, kia tino tika ai te taenga mai.
Te Whakahaere i ngā Ratonga Tukunga: Mā mātou e whakahaere ngā ratonga tukunga, kia kore ai koe e manukanuka ki ngā uauatanga o ngā utanga o tāwāhi. Ka arotahi koe ki tō pakihi; ka arotahi mātou ki te kawe haumaru i tō tohu ki reira.
Wā tuku: Hakihea-29-2025
