富士山と山中湖が一望できる「石割山」

Le chat et le corbeau
Frileux, le petit chat, regarde tomber la neige. Il n'aime pas l'hiver. Le jardin est tout blanc : pas un oiseau, pas une fleur, même pas une mouche ! Frileux s’ennuie…
Tout à coup, on frappe à la vitre.
Toc, toc, toc, c’est Noireau, le corbeau.
- Je peux entrer ? demande-t-il, j'ai froid et j’ai faim !
Frileux ouvre la fenêtre et Noireau entre dans la cuisine.
- Il ne faut pas avoir peur, rassure Frileux, je ne te mangerai pas. Voici un reste de gâteau et un peu de lait.
- Merci, dit le corbeau. En été, je t'apporterai des vers de terre, c'est délicieux !
- Je préfère les souris, dit Frileux, mais c'est moi qui te remercie. J'étais seul, cela m'a fait plaisir de te voir, reviens demain à la même heure !
Et, depuis ce jour-là, le petit chat et le corbeau sont devenus de grands amis.

THE POWER OF STORYTELLING

Great communicators take their audiences on a journey through storytelling, and Aristotle’s famous ‘Tell, Tell, Tell’ triptych is one of the most offered pieces of advice given to anyone hoping to become a good storyteller.

However, you don’t want to just follow the crowd, you want to stand-out and be remembered by your colleagues, your boss and your clients. So, I want to share with you an updated take on the 3-tells for the modern business era.

Firstly, share your conclusions with your audience. Start with the conclusion that you want the audience to remember. This lets them know what you are going to be communicating to them and provides a destination.

Secondly, show how and why you have reached your conclusion. This is the heart of your story and where you will spend most of your time. Because they already know the destination, this part of your presentation is more productive as your audience is already trying to convince themselves that your conclusions are correct.

Finally, tell them what you want them to do with your conclusion.

People who travel a lot will know the feeling — you've just landed in a country on the other side of the world, ready to explore and see the sights, but you're too tired to do anything!

Jet lag is usually linked with travel and changing time zones. But a new study has found that even small changes to our daily schedules can change our sleeping patterns.

And it's not just sleep that gets affected by a disrupted schedule — our bodies work differently when our daily patterns change.

The study, published in iScience, looked at how our bodies respond to a five-hour time change — similar to the kind of jet lag you'd feel after traveling from New York to London, for example.

It looked at people's circadian rhythm — our body's natural clock that controls when we sleep, when different hormones are released, and how our bodies use energy.

During the study, scientists observed 14 people in a lab for eight days.

On the first two days, the participants followed their normal daily schedules. But from the third day, the participants' meals, sleep and light exposure were changed to five hours later than normal.

The researchers tested the participants' blood and checked their digestion, energy use, and levels of melatonin — a hormone that helps control sleep by making you feel tired when it gets dark — to see how their bodies reacted to the time change.

The results showed that the five-hour time change made digestion slower, changed blood sugar levels, and affected how the body used fat. The body also burned less energy from food.

These things started to go back to normal after two or three days as the body adjusted to the new schedule.

One of the study's researchers, Jonathan Johnston, told StudyFinds this shows how sticking to a regular schedule can make a big difference to our health.
