눈의 도시, 삿포로 

L' omicidio del noto matematico Philip March si propone come un caso difficile per l'ispettore Malvisi. Chi è l'assassino?

Certamente uno dei suoi colleghi, invidiosi della popolarità ottenuta dal professor March. I sospetti sono sette: Debora Livi, Ines Lai, Carla Silvi, Ilaria Vieri, Teresa Mari, Elena Gani e Roberto Mei. L'unico indizio è il numero 13, scritto dal professor March in punto di morte.

Ma qual è il legame tra tale numero e uno dei sospetti?  L'ispettore Malvisi lo ha capito e tu, caro ascoltatore, sarai altrettanto bravo?

Mettiti alla prova e scrivi la soluzione del caso nei commenti, spiegando anche il motivo della tua scelta.

Se io fossi Sherlock Holmes

Il problema del numero 13

En el episodio de hoy del podcast, hablaremos sobre el uso de la palabra “bien”. Vamos a ver sus usos.

Son muchas las ocasiones en las que he podido observar que "bien", "bueno" y "buen" suelen ser motivo de confusión entre los estudiantes de español. Así que, para tratar de solucionar dicha confusión, hoy veremos qué significan y cuándo usamos estas palabras en español y cuál es la diferencia entre ellas.

Uso de la palabra "bien"

You've been working for weeks on a project and finally get it finished, but someone else takes the credit — what could be more annoying?

Nothing, according to a new workplace survey! It found that people who steal your credit are the most annoying colleagues to work with.

Jobs site Kickresume asked almost 2,900 people around the world about the things that annoy them at work, and they had a lot to talk about!

Around 85% of people said they've worked with an annoying person.

And annoying colleagues don't just make people roll their eyes — they actually affect productivity too. In fact, almost six out of 10 people said that having annoying colleagues has a big effect on their productivity.

Thirty percent of people have a problem with colleagues who complain too much, while the same number get annoyed by those who don't respect personal space — they always stand a little too close!

Colleagues who steal other people's food from the fridge are also a source of annoyance.

Another common annoyance is bosses who micromanage — watching every move you make.

So what can we do about annoying behavior at work?

Many people say they'd like to talk to the person about it, but most don't have the courage.

Instead, 32% of people said they just try to stay away from the person who is annoying them. But that's not always easy, especially if they're stealing your credit — or your lunch!

Experts suggest speaking to a manager about workplace problems.

But here's a question: how do you know if you're not one of the people annoying your colleagues yourself?

Ways to Say "Not Exactly"

People who travel a lot will know the feeling — you've just landed in a country on the other side of the world, ready to explore and see the sights, but you're too tired to do anything!

Jet lag is usually linked with travel and changing time zones. But a new study has found that even small changes to our daily schedules can change our sleeping patterns.

And it's not just sleep that gets affected by a disrupted schedule — our bodies work differently when our daily patterns change.

The study, published in iScience, looked at how our bodies respond to a five-hour time change — similar to the kind of jet lag you'd feel after traveling from New York to London, for example.

It looked at people's circadian rhythm — our body's natural clock that controls when we sleep, when different hormones are released, and how our bodies use energy.

During the study, scientists observed 14 people in a lab for eight days.

On the first two days, the participants followed their normal daily schedules. But from the third day, the participants' meals, sleep and light exposure were changed to five hours later than normal.

The researchers tested the participants' blood and checked their digestion, energy use, and levels of melatonin — a hormone that helps control sleep by making you feel tired when it gets dark — to see how their bodies reacted to the time change.

The results showed that the five-hour time change made digestion slower, changed blood sugar levels, and affected how the body used fat. The body also burned less energy from food.

These things started to go back to normal after two or three days as the body adjusted to the new schedule.

One of the study's researchers, Jonathan Johnston, told StudyFinds this shows how sticking to a regular schedule can make a big difference to our health.
