Larme


Loin des oiseaux, des troupeaux, des villageoises,
Je buvais, accroupi dans quelque bruyère
Entourée de tendres bois de noisetiers,
Par un brouillard d’après-midi tiède et vert.

Que pouvais-je boire dans cette jeune Oise,
Ormeaux sans voix, gazon sans fleurs, ciel couvert.
Que tirais-je à la gourde de colocase ?
Quelque liqueur d’or, fade et qui fait suer.

Tel, j’eusse été mauvaise enseigne d’auberge.
Puis l’orage changea le ciel, jusqu’au soir.
Ce furent des pays noirs, des lacs, des perches,
Des colonnades sous la nuit bleue, des gares.

L’eau des bois se perdait sur des sables vierges,
Le vent, du ciel, jetait des glaçons aux mares…
Or ! tel qu’un pêcheur d’or ou de coquillages,
Dire que je n’ai pas eu souci de boire !

New Year Greetings(special program)

Este es el último episodio de la serie “Especial Navidad”. Y en él hablo de la última celebración de las Navidades españolas. Probablemente la favorita de los niños, ya que es hoy cuando los españoles abrimos nueros regalos de Navidad. 

Y, por supuesto, tenemos cosas típicas de este día. Escucha el episodio para descubrir como celebramos los españoles el Día de Reyes.

ERROR-fe de erratas*-lo siento, en la grabación menciono que las rebajas empiezan mañana 8 de enero, pero por supuesto, hoy, Día de Reyes es 6 de enero, por lo tanto, mañana es 7 de enero, que es cuando empiezan cada año las rebajas. No el 8, mi error)

Effective virtual communication is the successful transmission and understanding of information through electronic channels in a business setting. It involves clear, concise messaging tailored to the chosen platform (email, video conferencing, etc.)  While lacking physical presence, it leverages strong writing, active listening, and professional online etiquette to build rapport and achieve goals.  This can be achieved through techniques like setting agendas, using visual aids, and employing clear nonverbal cues when on camera. By understanding these methods, professionals can bridge geographical distances and foster collaboration within the virtual landscape.

However, effective virtual communication goes beyond just technical proficiency. It requires a keen understanding of audience needs and the ability to adapt communication styles accordingly.  For instance, complex topics might necessitate a shift from email to video conferencing for real-time clarification.  Empathy also plays a crucial role, as virtual interactions can sometimes feel less personal.  Utilizing techniques like virtual icebreakers and acknowledging colleagues' contributions can help create a more positive and inclusive environment.

Effective virtual communication is an ongoing process that requires continuous development.  By embracing new technologies, seeking feedback, and refining communication strategies, professionals can become masters of the virtual landscape, fostering stronger relationships and achieving success in today's increasingly digital business world.
