M: Can you have these jeans mended for me? I’m no good at that

M: This computer is maddening. The programs run really fast, but when I first start it, it seems to take hours before it actually gets ready. Is that a virus or something?

W: Of course it’s fast. It has the latest processor available. You aren’t online so it’s not a virus. Likely your problem is that there are too many background programs loading when you start.

M: I’m not sure I know what vou mean by background programs and loadingl

W: Okay, restart it and I’ll have a look. I’m no expert, so we’ll see what’s loading. The ones that aren’t needed can just be deleted. It will be fine once we do that

W: Excuse me, sir. I need some supplies for my office, but I’m not sure where to start. Ms. McBeal told me that you would be able to help me.

M: Sure. Tick the items you require on a blue supply form, which is kept at the front desk. Then, you need to get it signed by the leader of your department as required. Besides, it’s a good idea to ask other people in your department if they have any additional needs.

W: OK. By the way, should I check the annual budget?

M: Since you’re just ordering basic supplies, there’s no need for that.

W: Thanks so much for your help. I’ll get the form and fill it out now.

W: My guest today is the photographer Alex Mustard, who specializes in underwater shots. His cooperationl with Nick Hanna, a master storyteller, resulted in the book entitled The Art of Diving. Alex, how much is luck and how much is judgment to get great shots?

M: With wildlife shots, it’s not always the case that you can get the animals to behave in the way you want. When you spend much time in the ocean though, you get to predict behaviors and you get used to knowing when and where you’re going to get particular shots. But often there’s only a second to grab the shot you have in mind, which is the hardest part. With diver shots, communication is tough underwater, so everything needs planning ahead.

W: What advice would you give to new underwater photographers?

M: Well, the most important thing is to choose your subject very carefully; find something that you can get close to, that’s not going to swim away, and that’s a not too big or too small size.

W: So what’s next for you?

M: I’m planning a trip to Sardinia-within easy reach of the airport at Olbia. And the water’s lovely and warm But these aren’t really the draws for me. It’s more the underwater landscapes — like the soft corals and the fish life.

W: Thank you for joining our wellness workshop. I’m Richard Simmons. Before we begin, I want to share some advice. Staying active is essential for a healthy lifestyle, but it’s important to avoid common workout mistakes. The first error is the lack of variety in exercising. Engaging in the same routine can lead you to see no progress. To prevent this, I suggest changing your workout plans monthly. Do diverse activities like yoga to improve flexibility, or weightlifting to build strength. Variety not only prevents boredom but also improves your overall fitness.

Another common error is overtraining. It’s important to understand that rest is just as crucial for muscle recovery and growth as the workout itself. It’s not always about the intensity or frequency of your workouts. I recommend aiming for two intense sessions per week. On the days you’re not pushing yourself hard. consider engaging in lighter activities, such as fast walking or leisurely cycling. This approach balances physical effort with recovery. It’s also advisable to have at least one day of complete rest weekly to allow your body to fully recover. Remember, wellness is a marathon; listen to your body and make adjustments accordingly.
