BUSINESS ETIQUETTE | GREETINGS AND INTRODUCTIONS.

It is a common courtesy to greet both customers and visitors to your business in a friendly and professional manner. It is also common sense that most companies expect their employees to act professionally and to pay great attention to how they greet visitors.

In any business situation, but especially in an international setting and when communicating in a foreign language, it is imperative that you also pay attention to the societal norms of different cultures and their customs.

For instance, in most western cultures, the handshake is a common greeting which is also used to conclude business dealings. In American culture, the handshake is a sign that a deal has been agreed upon by all parties, and politicians from all countries vie for the obligatory handshake photo opportunity with visiting dignitaries.

Learn more about the handshake and other greetings in episode 2 of BizPod.

nalphabetismus

Ein Mensch ist Analphabet, wenn er nicht oder nicht RICHTIG lesen und schreiben kann. Das sind in Deutschland etwa 7,5 Millionen oder 14,5 % aller ERWACHSENEN. Ein funktionaler Analphabet kann vielleicht Buchstaben und Wörter lesen, er hat aber MÜHE einen längeren Text zu verstehen. Für diese Menschen sind viele ALLTÄGLICHE Dinge eine große Herausforderung: das Lesen eines FAHRPLANS, das Verstehen einer Gebrauchsanweisung, das Ausfüllen eines Formulars oder das Schreiben einer Nachricht auf dem Smartphone. Analphabetismus hat viele Gründe. Diese Menschen sind aber fast immer von wichtigen Bereichen des täglichen Lebens ausgeschlossen. Der LEIDENSDRUCK kann groß sein und so entwickeln viele von ihnen komplizierte Strategien, um ihr Defizit zu VERTUSCHEN: Man hat die Brille vergessen, hat sich die Hand verletzt, hat keinen Stift dabei und so weiter. All das ist SELBSTVERSTÄNDLICH keine Lösung des Problems. Es gibt aber Hilfe für erwachsene Analphabeten:  In den größeren Städten werden Kurse angeboten und natürlich können Betroffene auch digitale Möglichkeiten nutzen.

Если вы изучаете русский язык, то знаете, когда в России празднуют Новый год. Конечно, в ночь с 31 декабря на 1 января. Но есть и другие даты, когда люди в России отмечают приход Нового года.
На территории России живут не только русские.  Здесь живут люди 190 народностей и национальностей. 
Например, в Бурятии живёт много буддистов. В этом регионе России Новый год отмечают два раза. В первый раз — как и во всей стране, в ночь с 31 декабря на 1 января. Второй Новый год празднуют по лунному календарю. Этот день называется Праздник Белого месяца или по-другому - Сагаалган. В 2025 году Сагаалган будут праздновать 1 марта. 
В Татарстане 31 декабря — тоже не единственный праздник Нового года. Весной тут празднуют Навруз.  Это праздник Нового года по солнечному календарю. В 2025 году его будут отмечать 20 марта.
В Республике Саха Новый год издавна празднуют совсем не зимой. Ысыах - праздник в честь божеств Айыы (прародителей народа саха). Для людей это праздник возрождения природы. Ысыах празднуется весной или летом. В последние годы его отмечают 21 июня в день летнего солнцестояния. В эту дату самый длинный день и самая короткая ночь в году.
Как видите, Россия – огромная страна. Здесь можно увидеть и узнать много необычного и интересного.

Episode 128 - How to Form Good Business Communication Habits 

Southern California is experiencing its most devastating winter fires in more than four decades.

Fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds, fierce wildfires around the Los Angeles area have sent residents fleeing from their burning homes.

Santa Anas are warm, dry northeast winds that blow from the interior of Southern California toward the coast, moving in the opposite direction of the normal winds that carry moist air from the Pacific.

Thousands of firefighters have been battling multiple blazes, from the Pacific Coast to Pasadena, just north of Los Angeles, with new fires breaking out in the Hollywood Hills on the evening of January 8.

One of the fires is already the most destructive in Los Angeles history.

By early morning on January 9, more than 1,900 structures had been destroyed and over 130,000 people were under evacuation orders, with five people reported dead.

The fires have already consumed an area of about 110 square kilometers — nearly the size of the entire city of San Francisco.

Fires don't usually blaze at this time of year. But Santa Anas are happening later and later in the year, and this year's winds are much faster than usual — helping the flames spread faster once they ignite.

California had two extremely wet winters that caused lots of plants to grow, followed by a sudden drought that dried them out — which experts say has provided the perfect tinder for the flames.

AccuWeather estimated damage from the latest fires could reach $57 billion, with the weather company's Jonathan Porter saying "it may become the worst wildfire in modern California history."

Among those who have lost their homes are a number of celebrities, including actor Billy Crystal, who lost his home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood that he had lived in for 45 years.

Another celebrity who lost his home, The Princess Bride star Cary Elwes, wrote on Instagram: "Sadly we did lose our home but we are grateful to have survived this truly devastating fire."
