Neste episódio, eu e Martín, professor de Espanhol do México, trocamos impressões sobre o movimento surrealista no Brasil e no México. Citando artistas modernistas e surrealistas como a brasileira Tarsila do Amaral, a mexicana Frida Kahlo e a espanhola radicada no México Remedios Varo, traçamos diferenças e similaridades, tudo isso enquanto também fazemos um intercâmbio linguístico: Português-Espanhol! :)

So you have answered the SIX KEY QUESTIONS from episode 2. Well done. Now do this.

In this episode I talk about the importance of thinking about key situations and activities from your adult life and how most people simply don't consider them to be important or relevant to their job search.

In many aspects of life (school, university, charity work, work experience and sports clubs) we have found ourselves in situations where we have used key skills which are useful in the workplace.

I talk about categorizing these experiences into People, Project and Profit. And I suggest lots of questions to ask yourself to get you thinking about these situations and how important they are.

〈#25〉3月28日月曜日　高校生が雪割り

Crowds of people queued up at Australia's Royal Sydney Botanic Garden on January 23, with some people waiting as long as three hours.

And for what?

A very smelly flower.

The titan arum, known as the "corpse flower," is a tall, pointed plant that releases an unpleasant smell when it blooms. The smell has been likened to things like decaying flesh, gym socks or rotting garbage.

The endangered plant is only found in the Sumatran rainforests in Indonesia, where there are thought to be fewer than 300 of them. It only blooms every 7 to 10 years in its natural habitat.

"The fact that they open very rarely, so they flower rarely, is obviously something that puts them at a little bit of a disadvantage in the wild," said Sophie Daniel from the Royal Sydney Botanic Garden. "When they open, they have to hope that another flower is open nearby, because they can't self-pollinate."

The flower at the botanic garden is the first to bloom there in 15 years, and she's been named Putricia — a combination of "putrid" and "Patricia" — by her fans.

Putricia's online fandom grew quickly and globally. A 24/7 live stream established by the botanic garden drew close to a million views in under a week, and people on social media planned to hurry to the garden as the plant opened. In just 24 hours, Putricia's bloom — and her stench — would be gone.

As she opened, the plant heated to 37 degrees Celsius to better spread her scent. In the wild, the smell tricks pollinators into landing on what they think is rotten meat and spreading pollen between flowers.

Up to 20,000 people filed past for a moment in her pungent presence, leaning in for a sniff or taking selfies.

It was difficult to say why the flower attracted such a following — but perhaps the answer lay in the "reverence" viewers felt in the presence of "such an amazing living being," Daniel said.
