SWE 157 Americas Best Rapper - Kendrick Lamar

Was machst du beruflich? Diese Frage kennst du vielleicht schon von einer Prüfung oder aus dem Alltagsleben. Aber kennst du auch den Unterschied zwischen Beruf und Berufung? 
In meinem Podcast klären wir, was der Unterschied zwischen diesen beiden Begriffen ist und wie wir unserer Berufung folgen können, um glücklich zu werden. 

Deutsch mit Sonia

Beruf und Berufung - die Arbeit, die zu mir passt

Привет! 
Я редко делаю покупки в интернет-магазинах, потому что, когда мне что-нибудь нужно, я сразу иду в ближайший магазин и покупаю. На днях я всё-таки заказала кое-что в интернете. Цена была хорошая, ещё и со скидкой. Сегодня мне пришло уведомление. Написали, что я могу забрать свой заказ в пункте выдачи товаров. Пункт выдачи товаров - это специальное место, куда привозят все заказы. В моём городе таких центров очень много в каждом районе.

Ты со мной?

Word final devoicing

Voiced consonants at the end of words are pronounced voiceless. 

We write:               We say:
Чехов                      Чехо[ ф ] 
джаз                        джа[ с ] 
гараж                      гара[ ш ] 
сноб                        сно[ п ] 
маркетинг              маркетин[ к ] 
Мадрид                   Мадри[ т ]

Voiced-voiceless assimilation 

When voiced and voiceless consonants are adjacent to each other, the nature of the second consonant dictates the nature of the first. To put it more succinctly, when two consonants go walking, the second one does the talking: 

в Киеве               [ф К]иеве 
субтитры            су[пт]итры 

 voiceless + voiced voiced + voiced 
 
 баскетбол          баске[дб]ол 

 Питсбург            Пи[дзб]ург 

 вас зовут             ва[ з з ]овут 

Russian Pronunciation wilth Lubov

f you're going to exercise, you have to stretch, right?

Well, maybe not.

The answer might depend on your goals, and what you mean by "stretch."

There are different types of stretches.

In what are known as "static" stretches, you hold a single position for perhaps as long as 60 to 90 seconds. These stretches are great for increasing flexibility.

But there are also "dynamic" stretches, where you repeatedly — but carefully — move your joints through their full range of motion.

Expert opinion on how to use these stretches has changed over the years. But it's now generally believed that dynamic stretching is best before you exercise, while static stretching is better after.

As Alisa Bowman writes for the Mayo Clinic, dynamic stretching helps improve blood flow and joint mobility, which gets your body ready to exercise. Studies have even found that dynamic stretching before exercise can improve your performance.

Meanwhile, some research has found that static stretching can temporarily weaken your muscles, which is why it's generally no longer recommended before certain sports — and especially not for high-performance athletes.

Instead, static stretches are typically recommended for helping to relax your muscles after exercise. Since you've been moving and increasing blood flow to your joints and muscles, you'll actually be more flexible, so you'll get more benefit from those stretches.

But while you may have been told that stretching will reduce soreness after you exercise, research has found that it really doesn't make much difference.

You've also probably been told to stretch to avoid injuries. But research doesn't seem to support that either — especially for static stretching.

Writing for WebMD, Sonya Collins says that, as long as you stretch sometime, it's fine if you don't do it around the time you exercise.

In fact, some experts say if you're short on time, it's better to exercise without doing any stretching than to cut your workout short!

A very interesting talk, looking at the complex phenomenon of love from the perspective of science, and trying to understand what is really happening which makes us feel such strong feelings.
