  Într-o discuţie spinoasă între interlocutori – care pot fi parteneri de viaţă sau de afaceri, părinţi şi copii, şef şi angajaţi sau conducător auto şi poliţist – anumite greşeli la care nu ne gândim ne pot împiedica să obţinem ceea ce ne dorim. Înţelegerea intereselor, personalităţii, intenţiilor şi stării de spirit a interlocutorului sunt esenţiale pentru a putea conduce cu succes actul de comunicare. Nu mai puţin important este modul în care reuşeşti să îţi păstrezi controlul asupra reacţiilor, verbale şi nonverbale, precum și asupra propriilor emoţii. Pentru aceasta este necesar să îți cunoști bine punctele nevralgice şi să fii cu adevărat propriul tău stăpân. Iată care sunt cele mai frecvente 10 greşeli în comunicarea directă:  1. Atitudinea agresivă Când o conversaţie dificilă se transformă într-o confruntare violentă, înseamnă că ne-am lăsat stăpâniţi de un instinct primar – agresiunea. Comunicarea, fie că se petrece acasă sau la serviciu, n...

Image by Jerry Ting ‘Art imitates life’ – or so the old saying goes – but when the reverse appears true, as Oscar Wilde noted, the effect can be all the more striking. The vivid hues of the San Francisco Bay salt ponds remind us more of a crafted stained glass window than the sea’s naturally muted colour palette, and they produce some of the world’s most magnificent natural colourways… Image by apdonovan The San Francisco Bay is a shallow bay surrounded by the cities of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose, through which almost half the water of California is drained into the Pacific ocean. Home to the notorious Alcatraz prison, which housed among others Al Capone, the bay also contains a large number of salt evaporation ponds responsible for producing much of America’s industrial salt. Image by webmink The dramatic colours are produced by varying concentrations of algae, brine shrimp and other pond life, making the ponds appear as if they have been dyed. These micro-organisms cha...

Image: digitaljunglist Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is a place people don’t just visit. Rather, they inhale its vastness and colours with every fibre of their being. Salar de Uyuni is a place of superlatives – the world’s largest salt flat, world’s biggest reserve of lithium, the best place on Earth to callibrate satellites – in short: a visual miracle and mirror to the sky. Be warned, the following pictures will be unlike any you have ever seen! Modern sky caravan: Image: Micah MacAllen Salar de Uyuni is located in Bolivia’s southwestern regions of Oruno and Potosi, near the peak of the Andes at an altitude of 3,650 m. More than 40,000 years ago, the area was part of the giant prehistoric Lake Minchin that has since dried out, leaving behind the two lakes, Poopo and Uru Uru, and the two salt deserts, Salar de Coipasa and Salar de Uyuni. The latter is the larger of the two and at 10,582 sq km (4,085 sq miles) is around 25 times the size of Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats. Visitors grappl...

One of the worst droughts ever recorded in southern California has led to massive wildfires that have forced over 300,000 people out of their homes. One person has died and 41 people, 16 of them firemen, have been injured since the fires began on Sunday. The fires are thought to have first started when a strong wind blew down a power cable. The bone-dry grass immediately ignited after the lengthy and severe drought, which many have seen as a result of global warming. More than 650 homes have been destroyed by the blazes, with thousands of others still threatened. Strong winds spread the original fire as it gave birth to numerous other conflagrations, 14 at last count, which cover an area almost half the size of London. The “danger zone” of the fires stretches from San Diego to Santa Barbara, covering almost 970 square kilometers. The fires are some of the worst ever to hit southern California, an area already extremely familiar with wildfires. Black smoke blankets most of the dan...

Image: Tati@ High amidst the Andean mountaintops is the hotel Playa Blanca, a solitary structure surrounded by an almost endless sea of white. The ‘white’ is not snow, but salt, 10 billion tons to be exact. So it makes sense that this most abundant of materials would be used to build an entire hotel, from the salt brick walls, floors and roof, all the way down to the tables, chairs and even beds. Come with us, and we’ll take you on a tour. Salar de Uyuni from space Image: ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and the Image Science & Analysis Group, Johnson Space Center In Bolivia near the Chilean border, the salt hotel can be found in the Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flat in the world. The satellite image above shows Salar de Uyuni from space, surrounding Mount Tunupa. At 10,582 km² (4,085 square miles), it is 25 times the size of the Bonneville Salt Flats in the United States. Near Uyuni is the smaller salt desert Salar de Coipasa and two lakes, Poopó Lake and Uru Uru Lake...
