Panoramic view

I was looking for some internet tool for panoramic view, I found CleVR. Their software, particularly the stitch tool is of not much use. I use Hugin pretty good open source stitch tool.
Anyway the point is that one can keep the panoramic pictures there and embed it into my blog. Quite nice.
The sample below was taken at my balcony in Uherský Brod, August 2009

Yachting

I have been sailing in north part of Poland during the summer. The crew (6 ppl.) was made of VSB University employees, particularly from "my" Department of Mechanics. Well, with the exception of a girl who also graduated the University. One of the most original holiday I've been to.

Basics of communication

Communication Skills Improvement

  1. active listening (emphatic listening)

  2. speak directly to your opponent - Avoid being distracted by outside parties or other things going on in the same room. Focus on what you have to say, and on saying it in a way that your opponent can understand.

  3. speak about yourself, not about your opponent (I-messages)

  4. "speak for a purpose" - Before you make a significant statement, pause and consider what you want to communicate, why you want to communicate that, and how you can do it in the clearest possible way.
