오늘은 한국 회사에서 정말 자주 쓰이는 표현, ‘확인 부탁드립니다’에 대해 배워볼게요.

‘확인하다’는 무언가를 다시 살펴보고, 문제가 없는지 또는 필요한 내용이 빠지지 않았는지를 점검하는 것을 말해요. 영어로는 check 또는 confirm이라는 뜻이죠.

그리고 여기서 ‘부탁드립니다’는 영어로 말하면 ‘please’와 같은 표현이에요.
공손하게 무언가를 요청할 때 쓰는 말이죠. 그래서 ‘확인 부탁드립니다’는 결국
→ “Please check” 또는 “Kindly confirm”이라는 뜻이 되는 거예요.

예를 들어, 어떤 파일을 이메일로 보낸 뒤에는 이렇게 말할 수 있어요.
👉 “첨부한 문서 확인 부탁드립니다.”
이 문장은 “이거 잘 받으셨는지, 내용에 이상은 없는지 한번 봐주세요”라는 의미를 담고 있어요.

Между человеком и его домашним питомцем есть особая связь. Как иначе объяснить то, что владельцы четвероногих друзей чувствуют себя менее одинокими, легче справляются со стрессом и реже болеют? Так или иначе влияние тех, кого мы приручили, ощутимое — как на психическое, так и на физическое здоровье. 
Одно только поглаживание питомца снижает уровень гормона стресса — кортизола и, наоборот, повышает уровень окситоцина. Учёные установили, что одинокие люди, которые содержат дома собаку, меньше подвержены депрессии. А у детей, вопреки мифам, контакт с животным может снизить вероятность развития астмы или аллергии.
Пет-терапия с собаками, кошками, лошадьми, пернатыми и даже рептилиями положительно действует на людей с аутизмом, неврозами, зависимостями, депрессиями, посттравматическим стрессовым расстройством и даже шизофренией. Животные помогают стабилизировать эмоции: контакт с ними способен расслабить и успокоить, развить доверие к окружающим, улучшить навыки общения и саморегуляции.
Завести домашнее животное — смелый шаг, и не каждый к нему готов: из-за ненормированного рабочего графика, маленького размера жилой площади, бюджета или аллергии у родственников. Если вы уже завели четвероногого друга, то оставлять его на улице из-за возникающих проблем точно не стоит. 
Если к животным тянет, но на большую ответственность вы пока не готовы, общаться с ними можно и вне дома. Например, в приютах и с помощью сервисов выгула и передержки. Это поможет не только вам, но и животным: общение для них тоже важно. Например, щенкам социализация позволяет избежать агрессии в дальнейшей жизни. 
А есть ли у Вас домашние животные и как Вы относитесь к ним?

On January 1, music magazine Rolling Stone released its list of "The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time," including famous musicians such as Frank Sinatra, Freddie Mercury, and many more.

Rolling Stone first released a list of its "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" in 2008, and has added 100 more artists for 2023.

Aretha Franklin is again number one on the list, with Rolling Stone calling her singing "the most magnificent sound" to ever come out of America.

Next is Whitney Houston at number two, while soul singer Sam Cooke is number three. Jazz singer Billie Holiday is fourth, while pop star Mariah Carey is fifth.



However, some music fans are unhappy that their favorite artists are very low on the list, or aren't included at all.

For example, some Twitter users are angry that Michael Jackson is number 86, while Beyoncé is in the top 10.

Rolling Stone seemed to expect mixed reactions, writing that people should remember that this is the "Greatest Singers" list, not the "Greatest Voices" list.

The magazine said it was looking at things like originality, how many songs someone made and how much they changed music, not just how well they could sing.

Many Twitter users are also angry that Céline Dion was not included on the list — with more than one calling it "a crime against humanity."

The Canadian singer is one of the best-selling artists of all time, with many Grammy awards and even several Oscars for her songs from films, including Titanic and Beauty and the Beast.

Madonna and Justin Bieber are also not on the list, while Ariana Grande and Bob Dylan are.

Rolling Stone Names '200 Greatest Singers of All Time'

When the end of the working week arrives, it can be a little harder to keep going.

If you work from Monday to Friday, you might find yourself thinking about the weekend as your brain and body get ready to rest. You may feel that you're getting less work done.

You might even feel this way near the end of each work day.

And a study from the US has found that yes, it's true — we aren't as productive and we make more mistakes in the afternoons, especially on Fridays.

While most of us could probably have guessed that result, the researchers said most studies in the past have just asked workers about their feelings related to their productivity.

But this one actually used data based on computer use, including how fast people typed and the numbers of typos they made.

The researchers, from Texas A&M University, looked at the computer use of 789 employees working from the office of a big company in Texas.

They studied them for two years and looked at their computer use at different times of the day and week.

And they found that computer use "dropped significantly" on Fridays.

One of the researchers, Taehyun Roh, said: "Employees were less active in the afternoons, and made more typos in the afternoons — especially on Fridays."

The authors added that results like this should encourage bosses to think about flexible working arrangements or four-day working weeks to get the best from their employees.
