Today I will be discussing a topic that I found very interesting, and I hope you do to, It is something I have started doing and I definitely feel the positive effects. Today I am discussing grounding at first, this may sound a little woo-woo. But the science behind earthing and grounding is compelling: The earth is abundant in free electrons (negatively charged) that when connected to the body can help neutralize free radicals, providing antioxidant and immune-boosting properties

Grounding also called earthing, is a therapeutic technique that involves doing activities that “ground” or electrically reconnect you to the earth for various health benefits.
We walked barefoot and we slept in contact with the Earth never realizing that its surface contained limitless, natural, healing energy. Walking around barefoot is not our main mode of travel any longer. We live indoors much of the time and when we do walk or run outside, we wear rubber-soled shoes which prevent our feet from being able to absorb the Earth's subtle energy. Rubber is not conductive, but our bodies are!

Grounding

Have you ever wondered why French people ask: Comment ça va ? How do you go?
— instead of How ARE you?

The answer's only one click away, but beware its foul aftertaste!

French Follies feat. Leeroy

The gross mystery behind the french expression Ça va.

Thorne se sumergió en los archivos del caso del joven artista. Las similitudes eran inquietantes: ambos estudios habían sido meticulosamente alterados para crear atmósferas oscuras y ritualísticas. Los símbolos, aunque ligeramente diferentes, compartían una raíz común, una especie de lenguaje secreto que parecía desafiar cualquier interpretación. La única pista tangible era una referencia a un antiguo texto oculto, mencionado en los diarios personales de ambos artistas.

Intrigado, Thorne comenzó a buscar este texto. Tras meses de investigación, descubrió que se trataba de un grimorio extremadamente raro, que se decía contenía conocimientos prohibidos sobre dimensiones paralelas y entidades oscuras. Según la leyenda, aquel que lograra descifrar sus misterios tendría el poder de invocar fuerzas sobrenaturales. Thorne se dio cuenta de que tanto el escritor como el artista habían estado obsesionados con este grimorio, y que posiblemente habían realizado rituales para intentar abrir un portal hacia otro mundo.

A medida que se adentraba más en su investigación, Thorne comenzó a experimentar sucesos extraños. Tenía pesadillas recurrentes con las mismas criaturas aladas que aparecían en las pinturas del artista. Además, objetos se movían por sí solos en su oficina y escuchaba voces susurrando su nombre en la oscuridad. El detective comenzaba a creer que las fuerzas oscuras que ambos artistas habían invocado estaban comenzando a manifestarse en el mundo real.

Con el tiempo, Thorne logró dar con la ubicación del grimorio. Se encontraba en una antigua biblioteca oculta bajo una mansión abandonada. Sin embargo, al acercarse al libro, se dio cuenta de que era una trampa. Las fuerzas oscuras que había despertado estaban preparadas para defender su secreto. Thorne se enfrentó a una batalla contra lo desconocido, luchando por salvarse a sí mismo y al mundo de una amenaza que superaba cualquier cosa que hubiera imaginado.

EVERYONE'S DOING THEM!
If you search the internet you will discover that workshops are a teaching opportunity that isn't focused on marketing, whereas webinars are built to teach and sell at the same time. It's a lot more about training and learning than it is about selling, but there will always be a pitch at the end of a webinar.

Then there are seminars...
An in-person seminar is more or less dependent on attendees' ability to physically attend the event, so there haven't been many of them during the Covid-19 pandemic, which has been problematic for some businesses but it has gone some way towards reducing carbon footprints.

Wikipedia has defined these 2 event types individually:

A seminar is ‘a meeting held for the exchange of useful information by members of a common business community.’

A webinar is 'an interactive seminar conducted via the World Wide Web. Usually a live presentation, lecture, or workshop that happens in real-time, as users participate through chatting, video-chatting, file-sharing, or asking questions with a microphone.’

Time for a masterclass!
Workshops progress from theory to practice, with a focus on grasping key tools or skills. Masterclasses are specialized classes in which students attain their learning objectives via in-depth practice and thorough guidance.

BizPod Episode 11 - Webinars & Workshops

Let's talk today about how to give feedback at work, especially if you use English as a second language in the workplace and are not a native English speaker.

Giving feedback to your colleagues, your staff, and your managers, is an essential part of a great team. However, so few people actually do it! We often think of feedback as a scary thing that is reserved for end of year performance reviews and appraisals. However, the best teams in the world make both negative and positive feedback a key part of their company culture.

Today we’re going to hear some tips and ideas for how to give feedback to your colleagues. We’ll hear some great natural and native sounding vocabulary that we can use to do this, and then we’ll finish off with some challenges for you. Including a speaking challenge and a vocabulary quiz to see what you’ve remembered from today’s podcast.
