Tradução minha,  devidamente autorizada, da  publicação da colega  Julie Mondoloni no LinkedIN. A imagem mostra legendagem num país multilingue, neste caso, a Bélgica. 📌O cérebro assimila melhor a informação quando lê E ouve. Segundo Allan Paivio, psicólogo da cognição. A sua teoria da dupla codificação explica que o nosso cérebro tem dois canais distintos: → Um canal verbal auditivo (aquilo que ouvimos) → Um canal verbal visual (aquilo que lemos) Quando uma informação passa pelos dois canais em simultâneo, é mais bem compreendida e memorizada, e mais facilmente recuperada. É exatamente isso que as legendas fazem. Mas há outro mecanismo. John Sweller demonstrou que a nossa memória de trabalho é limitada. Uma palavra errada, um sotaque que incomoda, uma fala muito rápida… e desligamos. As legendas compensam o que se perde nessa desligação, pois reduzem o esforço de descodificação e garantem a compreensão. A University College London e a Netflix realizaram estudos sobre o...

As usual, in terms of translation and localization, did you notice English goes with "intangible" whereas most other (Latin) languages go with (their variation of) "immaterial," also including German (not Latin-based)? Fascinating 🧩     UNESCO  

By Michael Waters for The Atlantic Walk down the block of a wealthy neighborhood at night, and you might be surprised by how much you can see. One uncovered window might reveal the glow of a flatscreen TV across from a curved couch; through another, you might glimpse a marble kitchen island and a chandelier. Of course, some of the curtains are closed—but many are flung open, the home’s interiors exposed, like you’re peering into a showroom. Uncovered windows have quietly become a fixture of high-end homes across America. The New York Times recently referred to the “obligatory uncurtained windows” of Brooklyn Heights, a rich enclave in New York City, and The Root pointed out that this seemed common among wealthy young white people living in gentrified urban areas. On TikTok, onlookers have been baffled by the trend—and, sometimes, tempted to pry . Although this phenomenon is most visible in cities, the link between wealth and exposed windows extends across the United State...

It is said that before entering the sea a river trembles with fear. She looks back at the path she has traveled, from the peaks of the mountains, the long winding road crossing forests and villages. And in front of her, she sees an ocean so vast, that to enter there seems nothing more than to disappear forever. But there is no other way. The river can not go back. Nobody can go back. To go back is impossible in existence. The river needs to take the risk of entering the ocean because only then will fear disappear, because that’s where the river will know it’s not about disappearing into the ocean, but of becoming the ocean.   by Khalil Gibran

Poema Deixo que venha se aproxime ao de leve pé ante pé até ao meu ouvido Enquanto no peito o coração estremece e se apressa no sangue enfebrecido Primeiro a floresta e em seguida o bosque mais bruma do que neve no tecido Do poema que cresce e o papel absorve verso a verso primeiro em cada desabrigo Toca então a torpeza e agacha-se sagaz um lobo faminto e recolhido Ele trepa de manso e logo tão voraz que da luz é a noz e depois o ruído Toma ágil o caminho e em seguida o atalho corre em alcateia ou fugindo sozinho Na calada da noite desloca-se e traz consigo o luar com vestido de arminho Sinto-o quando chega no arrepio da pele, na vertigem selada do pulso recolhido À medida que escrevo e o entorno no sonho o dispo sem pressa e o deito comigo Maria Teresa Horta Quando é que passará esta noite interna, o universo, E eu, a minha alma, terei o meu dia? Quando é que despertarei de estar acordado? Não sei. O sol brilha alto, Impossível de fitar. As estrelas pe...

Click to read fully at David Byrne's website . I have a theory that much recent tech development and innovation over the last decade or so has had an unspoken overarching agenda—it has been about facilitating the need for LESS human interaction. It’s not a bug—it’s a feature. We might think Amazon was about selling us books we couldn’t find locally—and it was and what a brilliant idea—but maybe it was also just as much about eliminating human interaction. I see a pattern emerging in the innovative technology that has gotten the most attention, gets the bucks and often, no surprise, ends up getting developed and implemented. What much of this technology seems to have in common is that it removes the need to deal with humans directly. The tech doesn’t claim or acknowledge this as its primary goal, but it seems to often be the consequence. I’m sort of thinking maybe it is the primary goal. There are so many ways imagination can be manifested in the technical sphere...
