How to say "What or what kind of" in Russian?

In questa seconda parte del viaggio nella Napoli esoterica, ci addentriamo in una delle presenze più misteriose e intime della tradizione napoletana: la Bella ’Mbriana.
Non una creatura che infesta i vicoli, ma uno spirito legato alla casa, al focolare, agli equilibri invisibili che tengono in piedi un luogo e chi lo abita.
Tra racconti tramandati, leggende antiche e frammenti di realtà, la Bella ’Mbriana emerge come simbolo di protezione, rispetto e silenziosa osservazione.
Una figura che non si mostra mai apertamente, ma che si manifesta nei dettagli, nelle assenze, nei cambiamenti improvvisi di atmosfera.
Un episodio raccontato interamente in lingua napoletana, dove mito e storia si sfiorano senza mai dichiararsi fino in fondo.


In this second chapter of our journey into Esoteric Naples, we explore one of the most intimate and elusive presences in Neapolitan folklore: La Bella ’Mbriana.
Not a spirit that haunts the streets, but a presence bound to the home, to domestic balance, to the invisible forces that protect a place and those who live within it.
Through ancient legends, oral tradition, and subtle traces of reality, La Bella ’Mbriana appears as a symbol of harmony, respect, and silent guardianship.
She never reveals herself openly. Instead, she lingers in atmospheres, in unspoken rules, in the feeling that a house is truly alive.
An episode told entirely in the Neapolitan language, where myth and history remain deliberately intertwined, never fully explained.

Cross-functional collaboration refers to teams made up of individuals from different departments or divisions within an organization working together on projects to achieve common goals. By bringing together experts from various areas like engineering, marketing, sales, finance, and operations, cross-functional teams are able to tackle complex problems and opportunities from multiple perspectives. Each member brings their unique skills, knowledge, and viewpoints to the project, helping identify issues or opportunities that others may have missed. They also break down silos that can form between departments, facilitating communication and ensuring all angles are considered. While cross-functional collaboration does require more coordination up front to align diverse team members, it ultimately leads to better outcomes by leveraging the collective expertise across an organization. These collaborative teams are able to develop more innovative, holistic solutions that benefit the entire company rather than just a single division. They promote greater understanding between functions and help build relationships that can improve future cooperation.

Example:
Launching a New Product: Imagine a company developing a new fitness tracker. The Marketing team needs to understand user needs and preferences (gathered from the Sales team) to create targeted advertising campaigns. Meanwhile, the Engineering team collaborates with the Design team to ensure the tracker is user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Finally, the Manufacturing team works with the Supply Chain team to source materials and ensure production runs smoothly. This cross-functional collaboration ensures a successful launch that considers all aspects, from user experience to market demand and production feasibility.

Ep.54 読書の思い出📚☕️🍁

As the US navigates what some experts have described as a loneliness epidemic, employers and employees across the country are trying to address what for many people is a lack of real friendships at work.

It's not a new thing, but remote work has only intensified the problem, says leadership expert Michael Bungay Stanier.

"People have this desire to be seen and be heard," Bungay Stanier says, but on video calls, the group gets right down to business rather than having the natural, informal interactions of a real room. It reduces people to "little heads in squares."

It's not easy to talk about this lack of friendship at work "because it feels like a shameful confession," Bungay Stanier says. But his clients are beginning to bring up the subject.

Awkward as it may be, these are conversations worth having, according to psychology professor Laurie Santos.

At-work friendships are good for employers, too. Santos says research shows that workplace friendships and a sense of belonging are vital to employees' happiness — and companies' success.

We assume that friendships at work are "a nice-to-have, not a need-to-have," she said.

But "maybe one of the reasons we're all so disengaged at work ... is that we're actively not investing in the thing that might matter the most for our happiness at work, which is our connection with other people," Santos said.

Some large companies began paying more attention to employee health long before the pandemic, often focusing on physical health.

Today, more employers are looking at ways to really improve people's mental health and well-being.

And experts say there is a lot that companies can do, even rethinking physical spaces in the offices with relationships in mind.

More than anything, remember the importance of everyday greetings at work — even if they make you a bit uncomfortable. A simple hello, Bungay Stanier says, could be the beginning of the end of loneliness.
