Il festival UMBRIA JAZZ si volge a Perugia.
La città è piccola, pulita, organizzata; è una città gentile e giovane, piena di studenti universitari.
Vi ricordate che lì c’è anche l’UNIStraPG? L’università per stranieri, Gli esami CELI…. 
UJ nasce nel 1973, dopo 20 anni di sperimentazioni e avventure, culminate con un paio di concerti di rilievo, tipo quello di Louis Armstrong e Chat Baker.
Nel 2003, dopo 30 anni, il festival della musica jazz assume l’aspetto che ha adesso: il primo festival, quello dei concerti degli artisti famosissimi all’arena santa giuliana – quest’anno c’è stato anche Lenny Kravitz, ma anche Nile Rodgers….; 
il secondo festival, quello del Teatro Morlacchi, per gli amanti del genere e i virtuosi della musica; completano il tutto la marchin’ band, nel rispetto della tradizione di New Orleans; e  le jam session, cioè le improvvisazioni, le riunioni non pianificate, tra diversi musicisti;
e il terzo festival, quello delle strade, dei vicoli, all’aperto, quello del “non solo jazz”…. Quello che se hai voglia di suonare, lo puoi fare e qualcuno ti ascolterà, quello che se hai voglia di ballare sicuramente lo farai, e se hai voglia di sorridere e battere le mani…. Tutto sarà molto semplice, anche essere elegante e seguire il ritmo della musica.
Io sono stata a UJ solo un paio di volte. La dimensione che preferisco è quella del terzo festival, quindi quella di strada. Ma anche quella dei concerti ai giardini Carducci, dove c’è un panorama sulla valle, tavoli da pic-nic, un palco con concerti coinvolgenti, tanta gente di tutti i tipi, di tutte le età, di tutti i gusti, di tutto il mondo, con cui brindare, ballare, cantare, parlare.
E dove ho conosciuto Giacomo e Loretta, con cui vi lascio a chiacchierare di questi due giorni fuori dalle regole.
Ah, un paio di curiosità: nel 2022 UJ è citato in una puntata dei Simpson;
UJ collabora con l’università di Berklee, a Boston, dove tra l’altro insegna un mio caro studente.

An acqui-hire, short for "acquisition hire," is a strategic business move wherein a company acquires another company primarily to assimilate its talented workforce. This approach has gained significant popularity, particularly within the realm of technology startups, due to its potential benefits.
By acquiring a company for its employees, the acquiring company gains access to a pool of skilled professionals with domain expertise, specialized knowledge, and a proven track record of collaboration. This not only allows the acquiring company to augment its existing talent pool but also expedites the onboarding process by fostering a cohesive and high-performing team that already possesses a collective understanding of each other's strengths and working dynamics.
Moreover, an effective acqui-hire can yield several advantages. Firstly, it enables the acquiring company to swiftly bolster its human capital, injecting fresh talent into its workforce. These new hires often bring diverse perspectives, innovative ideas, and specialized skill sets that can significantly enhance the company's competitive edge and foster innovation.
Additionally, the pre-established cohesion among the acquired team members can contribute to a seamless integration process, minimizing disruptions and ensuring a smooth transition. This can be particularly advantageous in fast-paced industries where time is of the essence.

Smithing English Podcast  Introduction

FLO TALKS 

Why people can't be themselves?

A deep mental issue that might sabotage your success in a job interview or IELTS speaking test.

First and foremost, have you had issues with expressing your thoughts in English where you can't seem to choose the right word? Or choose an appropriate phrase. Whether in a job interview or an IELTS speaking test,?

An answer may lie in the field of psychology.

There is a term'for'sabotaging your success'.

Self-sabotage occurs when we destroy ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally, or deliberately to hinder our own success and wellbeing by undermining personal goals and values (Brenner, 2019).

It is “insidious, profound, and universal” and emanates from negative mindsets (Berg, 2015).

I hope it's not too technical; I wanted to share a certain perspective on the topic from a researcher's perspective.

Self-sabotage is rooted in counterproductive mindsets, including negativity, disorganization, indecisiveness, and negative self-talk.

In today's podcast, my goal was to illustrate through my student's story how you can fail without noticing any reasons, and my deeper goal is to help you succeed. That's why you'll find a special bonus in the recording that can potentially help you, as it did for my student only after 15 minutes of our initial call.

Listen to the recording; there is great value in it for you.

As always, we are bettering and bettering every day and in every way.
