Today I encountered for the first time not far from my house Acacia podalyriifolia, or Pearl acacia – a tree that looks like a hybrid between a regular mimosa tree and a eucalyptus.

“native to Australia but also naturalised in Malaysia, Africa, India and South America”

AND southeast France! 😁

From my photo archives:

I painted this Fairey Fulmar in #gouache on the back of a cereal cardboard box 4 years ago, for my son who (still) loves it.

Here's some #GoodNews from around the world via #FixTheNews

https://fixthenews.com/282-brain-washing-machine/

I'm sure there's some that'll give you hope that the media reporting doesn't have to be all doom and gloom.

I was glad to learn about:

Indonesia fighting malnutrition by feeding nearly 90 million children and pregnant women.

Sea turtles nesting booming.

Same-sex marriage now legal in Lichtenstein, Thailand.

Death penalty abolished in Zimbabwe.

EU unemployment the lowest (6%) in three decades.

Apparently, #google couldn’t sell enough of its #AI enterprise products at $32 per user, per month, so now Google AI is forced to every Workspace customers who will be charged $14 per user, per month — $2 more.

Sickening.

"[Meta] informs that, for now, it will terminate the Independent Facts Verification Program in the United States only. Such a programme shall, according to the company, be replaced by the Community Notes. In Brazil, however, the fact-checking carried out by the Goal will remain active at this time."

“good communication in a high-context culture like Japan is very different. In Japan as in India, China, and many other countries, people learn a very different style of communication as children—one that depends on unconscious assumptions about common reference points and shared knowledge.”

“In low-context cultures, effective communication must be simple, clear, and explicit in order to effectively pass the message[…] The US is the lowest-context culture in the world, followed by Canada and Australia, the Netherlands and Germany, and the UK.”

“On a multicultural team, most misunderstanding takes place between people who come from two high-context cultures with entirely different roots, such as the Brazilians communicating with the Chinese.[…]

when team members come from different cultures, high-context communication breaks down.[…]

Multicultural teams need low-context processes.”

“Length of history & level of homogeneity impact communication style. […] the US has the most linguistic & cultural diversity and the shortest shared history. This helps to explain why the US is the lowest-context of the Anglo-Saxon cultures. In the Romance cluster, Brazil has the most diversity and is the lowest-context culture. […] same with Asia, where the lower-context countries like Singapore and India have the most linguistic & cultural diversity.”

“French [is] a much higher-context language than English. […]there are 7 times more words in English than in French (500,000 versus 70,000), which suggests that French relies on contextual clues to resolve semantic ambiguities […]. Many words in French have multiple meanings e.g., ennuyé can mean either "bored" or "bothered" depending on the context[…]-which means that the listener is responsible for discerning the intention of the speaker.”

“the traditional American rule for successfully transferring a powerful message to an audience: "Tell them what you are going to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you've told them." This is the philosophy of low-context communication in a nutshell.”

“every year in Japan there is a vote for the most popular new word. A few years ago, the word of the year was "KY." It stands for kuuki yomenai, which means "one who cannot read the air"—in other words, a person sorely lacking the ability to read between the lines. In Japan if you can't read the air, you are not a good listener.”
