DEFINICIÓN DE MATRIMONIO.

...
После свадьбы жили хорошо. Она сидела у него в кассе, смотрела за порядками в саду, записывала расходы, выдавала жалованье, и ее розовые щеки, милая, наивная, похожая на сияние улыбка мелькали то в окошечке кассы, то за кулисами, то в буфете. И она уже говорила своим знакомым, что самое замечательное, самое важное и нужное на свете — это театр и что получить истинное наслаждение и стать образованным и гуманным можно только в театре.
— Но разве публика понимает это? — говорила она. — Ей нужен балаган! Вчера у нас шел «Фауст наизнанку», и почти все ложи были пустые, а если бы мы с Ваничкой поставили какую-нибудь пошлость, то, поверьте, театр был бы битком набит. Завтра мы с Ваничкой ставим «Орфея в аду», приходите.
И что говорил о театре и об актерах Кукин, то повторяла и она. Публику она так же, как и он, презирала за равнодушие к искусству и за невежество, на репетициях вмешивалась, поправляла актеров, смотрела за поведением музыкантов, и когда в местной газете неодобрительно отзывались о театре, то она плакала и потом ходила в редакцию объясняться.
Актеры любили ее и называли «мы с Ваничкой» и «душечкой»; она жалела их и давала им понемножку взаймы, и если, случалось, ее обманывали, то она только потихоньку плакала, но мужу не жаловалась.
И зимой жили хорошо. Сняли городской театр на всю зиму л сдавали его на короткие сроки то малороссийской труппе, то фокуснику, то местным любителям. Оленька полнела и вся сияла от удовольствия, а Кукин худел и желтел и жаловался на страшные убытки, хотя всю зиму дела шли недурно. По ночам он кашлял, а она поила его малиной и липовым цветом, натирала одеколоном, кутала в свои мягкие шали.

Нескучные истории - Not boring stories

А. П. Чехов "Душечка". Отрывок. 

Un dragon pas ordinaire
Il était une fois, un dragon pas ordinaire. Au lieu de cracher du feu comme les autres dragons, il crachait… de l’eau ! Croyez-vous que ça le contrariait? Pas du tout : il était ravi ! Il prenait des douches vingt-deux fois par jour en écoutant du rock à la radio.
Un matin, un journaliste a annoncé qu’un incendie venait d’éclater au Jardin des plantes. Vite, le dragon s’est essuyé et a foncé là-bas. Il a craché des trombes d’eau sur le feu qui s’est éteint rapidement.
À présent, le dragon est pompier. Il a un beau casque qu’il n'ôte que pour se doucher !

Workload overwhelm is a state of chronic stress experienced when an individual is assigned a volume of tasks exceeding their capacity to complete them within a reasonable timeframe. This condition is often characterized by a sense of being perpetually behind, difficulty prioritizing, and a decline in overall performance. Workload overwhelm can manifest in various forms, including excessive project loads, unrealistic deadlines, and insufficient resources. It is a prevalent issue in contemporary organizations, often stemming from poor resource allocation, ineffective project management, or unrealistic expectations. The consequences of workload overwhelm can be detrimental to both individuals and organizations, leading to burnout, decreased job satisfaction, reduced productivity, and increased turnover. Effective management strategies are essential to mitigate the negative impacts of workload overwhelm and foster a healthy work environment.

Key factors contributing to workload overwhelm include:

Inefficient task allocation: Unbalanced distribution of tasks among team members.

Poor time management: Ineffective prioritization and time allocation.

Lack of resources: Insufficient personnel, budget, or technology to support workload.

Unrealistic expectations: Demanding excessive output without considering capacity.

Organizational culture: Emphasis on overwork and presenteeism.

Addressing workload overwhelm requires a multifaceted approach involving individuals, teams, and organizations. Implementing time management techniques, effective communication, and clear expectations are essential steps. Organizations should prioritize workload management through proper resource allocation, realistic goal setting, and a focus on work-life balance. By recognizing the signs of workload overwhelm and taking proactive measures, individuals and organizations can mitigate its negative consequences and create a more sustainable work environment.

Workload Overwhelm - Episode 111

Imagine a chance meeting at a conference – a fleeting opportunity to make a strong impression. That's the power of an elevator pitch, a succinct introduction that sparks interest and sets you apart. Here's how to craft yours for networking success:

Grab Attention in the First 10 Seconds:  A captivating opening is key. Are you passionate about solving a specific industry challenge? Briefly mention it and how your expertise can be the solution. For instance, "I'm a data analyst with a knack for uncovering hidden insights that boost marketing campaign effectiveness."

Introduce Yourself Professionally:  In a sentence or two, state your profession and a key area of strength.  Keep it clear and concise. Example: "I'm a marketing specialist with a proven track record in developing high-performing social media strategies."

Highlight Your Value Proposition:  This is where you showcase what sets you apart.  It could be a unique skill, a successful project you've led, or a specific achievement that demonstrates your value. Don't just list duties; focus on results. Example: "I recently spearheaded a social media campaign that generated a 30% increase in qualified leads for my company."

End with a Clear Call to Action:  A strong call to action leaves a lasting impression and encourages further conversation.  Do you want to connect on LinkedIn? Offer to share a relevant case study or discuss your expertise in more detail?  Keep it specific and actionable.

Craft, Refine, and Conquer:

Practice your pitch out loud to refine its delivery. Aim for clarity, enthusiasm, and a natural conversational tone. Time yourself – it should be under 30 seconds to hold attention in a busy environment.

Bonus Tip: Tailor Your Message:  A one-size-fits-all approach won't cut it. Research the event or organization beforehand. Highlight skills and experiences relevant to their interests.

Follow these steps, you'll craft a memorable elevator pitch that captures attention, showcases your value.

It's summer. You're on the beach, by the pool or in the garden — it might be time to get your swimwear out!

But if you're talking about swimwear in English, there's a small problem: there are many different words for it.

"Swimwear" can be used for anything you put on to go in the water, whether you're male or female, so it's always a safe choice of word.

You might also hear "swimmers" used by people from Australia. This means the same thing, and it's always used with the "s" on the end.

In Australia, New Zealand and Ireland, swimwear will also often be called "togs."

And Australians also say "bathers." It's short for "bathing suit," which in British English usually refers to women's one-piece swimwear, but in American English can be anything you wear to swim in.

Anything you swim in can also be called a "swimsuit."

"One-piece" can be used on its own to refer to women's swimwear that's made from one piece of material, as opposed to a two-piece swimsuit like a bikini.

In the UK, the term "swimming costume" also tends to be used to talk about female swimwear. Some British and Australian English speakers might shorten this to "cozzie" — sometimes spelled "cossie," but said the same.

In the US or Britain, men going to the beach shouldn't forget their "swimming trunks." These are the casual shorts people often wear. You'll hear these called "board shorts" or "boardies" in Australia.

Men who are going for a serious swim might choose "Speedos."

Speedo is the name of a swimwear company, but the word is now used across the world for the tight briefs men might wear when they want to swim very fast.
