Every day, thousands of cars pass through the intersection of Highway 252 and 66th Avenue in Brooklyn Center. It's a well-traveled road that's gained notoriety for all the wrong reasons.
"We see too many accidents, too much property damage, we see too many deaths from traffic accidents there as well," said Brooklyn Center Mayor Tim Willson. "It's been a concern for some time."
But there's a plan that's been in the works to build an interchange at the intersection and install a pedestrian bridge farther up the road at 70th Avenue. The plan requires millions of dollars and the city just received some help from the Metropolitan Council.
Highway 252 isn't the only road on the list to receive money. Brooklyn Boulevard would see significant improvements as well. If all goes as planned, a one-mile stretch of Brooklyn Boulevard from Bass Lake Road to I-694 will also become a safer place for motorists and pedestrians, but that all depends on whether city officials can secure even more funding from other sources.
However, the federal dollars secured by Brooklyn Center is just one step in a long process.
"The estimate is that it's going to be something like $35 million to do that whole thing," Willson said. "So we're gonna have to partner with the state, MnDOT, Met Council, other revenue streams in order to make that $35 million happen."
Considering that it's a matter of public safety, Mayor Willson is hopeful that the projects will come to fruition.
"I would say I'm optimistic, but that depends on the funding," Willson said. "And we all know that funding can fall apart at any point in time."
Mayor Willson says the road projects are slated for construction in 2021, provided that they receive the needed funding.

PULLMAN, Wash. – Reports and warnings prompted by recently documented instances in which batteries from electronic skateboards, or hoverboards, have unexpectedly burst into flames have prompted officials at Washington State University to ban hoverboards from all buildings on all WSU campuses and other WSU-owned facilities.
The ban effectively prohibits the storage and possession of such devices in residence halls, university apartments, academic buildings, research buildings, recreational facilities, or other structures on WSU-owned properties.
The storage ban follows a warning issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is also reportedly conducting an ongoing investigation of the devices. Similar safety concerns prompted major U.S. airlines to ban the devices on their flights.
While the WSU policy does not specifically ban the use of hoverboards outside of buildings, WSU Fire Marshall Rod Holmes said students, faculty and staff are being asked to refrain from bringing hoverboards back with them as they return next week for the new semester.
“We believe this is a very serious fire safety concern, particularly on residential campuses” said Holmes. “The relatively large batteries in these devices have a demonstrated propensity to burst into flames unexpectedly, particularly when they are charging. And when they do combust, it tends to be explosive and the resulting metal fire burns with a very intense heat.”
The ban is a temporary one, Holmes said, adding that the university expects it will continue in effect until such time as hoverboard manufacturers are able to demonstrate the batteries can meet safety standards reliably.
“There really is no way that we expect to allow them to be stored on our campuses for the forseeable future,” he said. “And local landlords are likely to have very similar safety concerns, so students will probably face difficulties in finding alternative storage options.”
Holmes said WSU will work with students who may already have hoverboards stored on campus to arrange for removal.

Stephanie & Tyler Website
To go along with their Save the Dates, I also created a wedding website for Stephanie & Tyler to share important information with their guests. It is a Wordpress site with responsive capabilities to seamlessly fit on smartphones and tablets.
A bit about designing the site: I wanted to reflect the Save the Dates cards in the website as well, so a cohesive theme would be present for guests before they even receive their official invitations. I decided to make it a Wordpress site so that it could be easily edited by the bride and groom when they need to update information. I customized the Responsive theme, adding my own CSS to create the look and feel of the site. I designed custom graphics, illustrations, and maps for the site.

Data scientists join national effort to protect voting access during the pandemic
The act of voting during a pandemic is fraught. The ability to participate in our democracy is a right that millions of Americans treasure, something between a civic duty and a sacred practice. But during COVID-19, can exercising one's right to vote put them at greater risk of contracting the virus?
That sticky question has injected a great deal of uncertainty to what would normally be a busy primary season in a presidential election year, as voters across the U.S. have sought to cast their ballots in nominating contests for President, U.S. Senate, Congressional seats, and other crucial state and local offices. Carnegie Mellon data scientists—led by Heinz College and Machine Learning Department professor and data for social good specialist Rayid Ghani—have teamed up with the nonprofit Voter Protection Corps to examine recent electoral disruptions and poll closures, as well as voting behavior.
The CMU team—which included Heinz College student Kaila Gilbert and recent School of Computer Science Ph.D. graduate (now a post-doc) Hemank Lamba—gathered data from over 35,000 polling places and other public sources to provide Voter Protection Corps with evidence-based insights that informed targeted policy recommendations to preserve in-person voting.
Like so much else since March, voting is an aspect of our civic life that has seen massive disruption in the age of coronavirus. This is due to the process's reliance on physical infrastructure—in the 2016 general election, nearly 110 million Americans voted in-person at an early voting location or polling place on Election Day. Due to COVID-19, many states' primaries that were originally scheduled for March and April were postponed. Some states cancelled in-person primary voting entirely, encouraging residents to vote by mail instead—in some cases, state officials even went a step further and proactively sent applications for absentee ballots to every registered voter in the state.
And that all makes sense on its face. In many jurisdictions, in-person voting involves standing in line with fellow residents to enter a polling place, which are often poorly ventilated community spaces such as school gymnasiums, houses of worship and government buildings—conditions that can increase risk of exposure to the coronavirus. Many states have sought to expand early voting and no-excuse absentee voting in response to the pandemic, so people do not need to risk their health to vote.
The problem is that eliminating in-person voting can disenfranchise voters. While expanded vote-by-mail can make it easier for some populations to vote and potentially bolster overall turnout, Voter Protection Corps advocates that mail-in voting expansion should happen in addition to robust in-person voting and early voting, not as a replacement.
"There are a lot of barriers to mail-in voting for some voters," said Ghani. "You need to have a stable address. You have to be aware that you can vote by mail. You have to request a mail-in ballot. And you have to fill it out correctly and return it early enough for it to count, which is increasingly becoming an issue due to the recent [U.S. Postal Service] cuts. We do want people to vote by mail as much as possible because that's the safest option, but then also prioritize which places will need more support for in-person voting to ensure everyone can vote."
The work by Gilbert and Lamba found that decisions to close polling locations—especially in urban areas as some communities have done in response to COVID-19—have a disproportionate impact on low-income voters, communities of color and other historically marginalized groups, as well as young voters. On average, voters in these groups already experience more crowded polling locations and long lines in order to vote.
"These groups also vote in person at higher rates," said Ghani. "Removing in-person access may have the consequence of suppressing these voters, exacerbating existing inequalities and infringing on their constitutionally protected voting rights."
The pandemic is creating a wide array of other irregularities that may make it difficult to get all voters ballots in the mail—not the least being a national economic crisis and resulting housing crisis that may cause many voters' addresses to change on short notice.
The CMU team unearthed other insights from the data: that a relatively small number of polling places are housed in senior communities, and those polls should be moved to other locations to protect residents; also, that these locations are spread evenly among urban and rural areas. There are fewer polling places per capita in urban areas—which underlines the importance of protecting neighborhood polling places—and the majority of in-person polling places exist in spaces that are operated by local municipalities and are well-suited to social distancing guidelines and expanded early voting. They recommend these polling places could be adapted rather than closed.
At the same time, by implementing successful mail-in voting and expanded early voting, local jurisdictions can potentially reduce the number of voters who need to vote in person on Election Day, which would help election officials more easily maintain the social distancing and sanitation protocols needed to ensure in-person voting is safe.
Voter Protection Corps' recommendations span four main categories:
- Protecting neighborhood polling places;
- Aggressively recruiting and training additional poll workers;
- Expanding early voting hours and locations; and
- Effectively communicating the safety of in-person voting to bolster public confidence and counter disinformation about voting.
Ghani said he's excited for partnerships like this, because they give data scientists opportunities to use their skills to protect civil rights and other matters in the public interest in an actionable manner. While voter protection efforts have traditionally been the purview of lawyers and activists, data scientists can aid them by using data to prioritize and target their efforts, and allocate resources for the greatest effect.
"Every data scientist should look for opportunities like this to have a real impact," said Ghani. "What data science can do for this type of problem is not come up with new discoveries, but rather combine information from different sources and highlight where there are gaps. We can play an important role by providing organizations like Voter Protection Corps with data-driven, prioritized lists that help them translate that data into concrete action."
Identifying gaps in election resources before November
For another effort with Voter Protection Corps, Ghani's CMU team—Gilbert, Lamba, and Data Science for Social Good program manager Jessica Toth—created a Voter Resource Prioritization Toolkit that uses public data to identify counties with significant gaps between demand for in-person voting and the supply of resources and poll workers needed to meet that demand. Such gaps can lead to disenfranchisement, according to Voter Protection Corps.
These may be counties with a high number of people from groups who vote in-person at higher rates, have historically had a low number of voting machines per voter and had fewer polling locations per voter.
"Our team looked at that data in conjunction with survey data that tells us how difficult it's been for states to recruit poll workers in those places," said Ghani. "Using data to identify the counties most at-risk of voting challenges can help officials and advocacy organizations prioritize where to divert resources and ramp up recruiting in time for the November election."
The full report is available now from Voter Protection Corps.

LONDON — She is standing on the medal stand, and she is holding a bouquet of pink roses, and she is smiling that impossibly great smile.
"Oh, yeah, did you see that smile?" said Bela Karolyi.
We saw, Bela. The whole world saw.
The whole world saw Gabby Douglas skip and leap and twist to the top of the medal stand. The whole world saw her with the shimmering gold medal around her neck. The whole world saw something it had never seen before Thursday — an African-American win the all-around title in women's gymnastics.
"Oh, yeah," said Douglas. "I forgot about that."
Which was the perfect answer, of course. She forgot about that. She forgot about the stuff that seems to consume everyone else in the world. She forgot about everything but the joy.
"I think the Flying Squirrel flew extremely high today," said Martha Karolyi, the U.S. team coordinator, using the nickname she had bestowed on Douglas after seeing her aerial show. "My little Flying Squirrel flew extremely high."
She flew to a place never occupied by a gymnast from this country. Douglas is the first American to own gold medals for both the team competition and the all-around.
Naturally, Douglas didn't know that either.
"Really?" she said. "You learn something every day."
It suits her, the wide-eyed naiveté. She is 16, after all.
"I guarantee she's going to be a huge star now," Bela said. "Of course, there's going to be a crazy boom."
He meant a boom in African-Americans in gymnastics. A door had been opened, with some leaps and a smile.
Can you imagine what Thursday meant to little girls of color? Someone who looked like them stood on the medal stand.
This is part of the power of the Olympics. The symbolism matters. It always has. It mattered when Jesse Owens won gold medals in Hitler's Germany. It mattered when women from Saudi Arabia walked in the Opening Ceremony.
It mattered Thursday, when Kayla Harrison won the first gold medal by an American in judo, proving that a victim doesn't have to be defined by years of sexual abuse.
And it mattered at the North Greenwich Arena, where Douglas accomplished something her coach never imagined two years ago.
That was when Douglas chose to leave her family and move to Iowa, and surely you've heard the story by now. Douglas was watching gymnastics on TV at home in Virginia Beach when she noticed Liang Chow, a coach who could get more out of her. Only catch: He lived in Iowa. At the age of 14, Douglas left her family and moved.
So this story is about conviction, as much or more than anything else, about believing in your potential and yourself. It's about the love of a mother in Virginia Beach, who let her little girl go away, and the love of a family in Des Moines, who took the little girl in.
It's a story about growth, the kind that is possible only when you really believe it is possible. As recently as a year ago, all the gymnastics experts would tell you that Douglas had no shot, that she was too flighty, too distracted, too apt to fall off a beam. Indeed, she fell off the balance beam three times at the national championships a year ago.
"An average-good gymnast," said Martha Karolyi. "She was good, but others were above that level."
And then, who knows how these things happen? Who knows how people grow into themselves?
Douglas won the all-around title at the Olympic trials. Then she had the highest scores as the U.S. won the team gold. Then, on Thursday, she went out and lived her dreams.
She led after the vault and the uneven bar. But everyone expected that. The beam was the test. The beam had stopped her before. So, naturally, Douglas nailed that too.
"It was incredible," said Martha Karolyi. "She really was flying in the air like her little name says."
The only suspense came after Douglas had finished, when Russian Victoria Komova could have moved into first with a 15.360 on floor exercise. Both gymnasts stared up at the scoreboard, wordless, leaning into their coaches. When a 15.100 went up for Komova, it was done.
Douglas waved and smiled and blew kisses to the crowd. And maybe it shouldn't matter that her skin is brown instead of white. But it was telling, afterward, to hear Douglas talk about Dominique Dawes, the only other African-American woman with a gymnastics medal.
"She was definitely my role model," she said. "She made me want to be a her."
She laughed at that one. "A her," she surely is.
"I want to inspire people," said America's new princess, unaware that she already has.

Vitamin C is important to all animals – including human beings. Unfortunately, the body cannot produce vitamin C on its own. The body harvests this nutrient from the food we eat. Without it, the body is unable to complete its many and often-complex processes. But why do we need natural vitamin C anyway? In today’s post, we are giving you five reasons why you should start eating vitamin C-rich foods right now:
It Boosts Collagen Production
Vitamin C promotes collagen production. This is one of the reasons why animals and human beings alike need this nutrient.
Collagen is found in the connective tissues. This compound is the building block of our tissues. Our connective tissues help support our organs and various systems. Collagen has five different types. Type 1 is found in skin, bones, teeth and tendons. Type two is found in cartilage and type three is found in the organs. The fourth and fifth types of collagen are found in layers between the epithelial and endothelial cells. They are also found between the skeletal system or smooth muscle cells.
Collagen also keeps the skin smooth, plump and younger-looking. Over time, the body’s collagen level becomes depleted. A constant supply of vitamin C helps increase collagen production.
Aids in Nutrient Absorption
Water-soluble vitamin C helps protect fat-soluble vitamin A and E from oxidation. It also helps prevent fatty acids from oxidizing. These nutrients become useless once they are oxidized. By preserving the integrity of the nutrients, the body is able to synthesize them effectively.
Protects from Diseases
We all know vitamin C is critical in improving the health. This nutrient is an excellent remedy against scurvy. It also cuts the risk of iron deficiency anemia. Vitamin C also protects from viral, bacterial and fungal infection. This nutrient strengthens the immune system. Eating foods rich in vitamin C is an excellent way to prevent common colds, flu, and cough.
Works like an Antioxidant
Contrary to popular notion, vitamin C is not an antioxidant. However, this nutrient acts like one. Vitamin C is called a redox agent. This means vitamin C works the same way as antioxidants. Antioxidants are nutrients that protect from oxidative stress. Oxidative damage is caused by chemical reactions between highly reactive molecules called free radicals. Oxidation reactions damage healthy cells. Eventually, the damage leads to chronic diseases and cell mutation.
Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals. It also repairs damaged cells and prevents aging. Some health experts believe vitamin C prevents chronic diseases at a cellular level. However, more research is needed to support this theory.
Protects from Cancer
Remember how oxidative stress leads to chronic diseases? One of these chronic diseases is cancer. Numerous studies found that eating vitamin C rich foods reduces the risk of cancer development significantly.
According to Jane Higdon, a nutrition scientist at the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, vitamin C cuts the risk of mouth and stomach cancer.
Protects from Cardiovascular Diseases
Vitamin C also keeps the arteries and heart strong. In a study that involved examining more than 85,000 women, researchers at Children’s Hospital, Boston found that those who took vitamin C daily have the lowest risk of heart disease. Health experts also found that vitamin C reduces damage to the artery walls. It also protects from blood clots, preventing strokes and heart attacks.

Delaware North’s executive chef-led culinary team at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport certainly knows a thing or two about creating comfort through food.
Last week, the team – led by General Manager Sayed Mekhemar and Executive Chef Nick Catlett – decided to pay it forward in the community by rolling up its sleeves and volunteering to cook meals at the Ozanam Inn, a homeless shelter in downtown New Orleans. The shelter, which is a branch of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, has been an integral part of the community since 1955.
Seven associates spent an evening preparing and serving meals to more than 126 men and women at the shelter. The team also supplied all the food used in the dinners, which included turkey with rice and gravy, green beans, Caesar salad and ciabatta bread.
“We are very proud to be a part of New Orleans, so this is a chance for us to give something back,” Mekhemar said. “It’s really important to stay invested in the community and helping out where there’s a need.”
Mekhemar and his team aren’t strangers when it comes to charitable work throughout New Orleans. Previous service projects have included sponsoring a fundraiser for the Kenner Council on Aging; helping students maintain a garden at a local school; raising $8,000 for local education resources; and donating leftover or unused food to the Second Harvest Food Bank.

Health organizations stimulate the development of low-fat variants to fight the obesity epidemic. We examine the effectiveness of this policy by studying the short- and long-term consequences of the first low-fat purchase on subsequent purchased volume and calories. Using a structural break analysis, we show that purchases increase in the short run after the first low-fat purchase, thereby confirming the single-occasion overconsumption effect of low-fat as shown in the experimental literature. Importantly, our results also show a significant positive long-term effect, which suggests that overpurchasing persists in the long run. In addition, our findings show that the long-term overpurchasing after the first low-fat purchase is solely due to the overpurchasing of low-fat items and not of regular items. These results provide support for the overgeneralization of claim effects and habit formation resulting in the enduring effect of healthier variants of unhealthy food. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Old College launch event for acclaimed David Jones biography
Dr Thomas Dilworth
19 April 2017
The author of an acclaimed biography of leading modernist artist and poet David Jones will be at Aberystwyth University’s Old College on Monday 24 April 2017.
Dr Thomas Dilworth will be launching his much anticipated biography David Jones: Engraver, Soldier, Painter, Poet, which featured as BBC Radio 4’s Book of the Week 10-15 April 2017.
A Distinguished Professor at Canada’s University of Windsor and specialist in Modern Literature and Romantic Poetry, Dr Dilworth is the leading authority on the work and life of David Jones.
The publication marks the culmination of thirty years of research and during the event at Old College, Dr Dilworth will talk about how he carried the research he carried out in the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth.
The free event takes place in the Seddon Room, Old College from 18:30-20:00 on Monday 24 April and is open to all.
The launch event has been organised by the David Jones Centre at Aberystwyth University’s Department of English and Creative Writing.
The Centre supports research on the history and impact of Modernism in Wales, and promotes the possibilities for new research offered by the literary and artistic archives at the National Library of Wales.
Dr Luke Thurston from the David Jones Centre comments: “This event to celebrate the publication of Dr Tom Dilworth’s biography of David Jones will raise awareness of Jones’s work and its wider significance for modern Welsh culture.
“It will also draw public attention to the rich Welsh heritage in the archives at the National Library of Wales - including all of David Jones’s letters, manuscripts and papers.”
Born in London in 1895, David Jones inherited a strong sense of Welsh identity from his father who was from Hollywell in North Wales.
The landscape, language and culture of Wales influenced both his writing and his paintings, many of which can be seen in the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff.
He was also influenced by his experiences in the trenches and his epic poem In Parenthesis has been described by WH Auden as “the greatest book about the First World War”.
Dr Thomas Dilworth has published extensively about Jones’ life and works. His books include The Shape of Meaning in the Poetry of David Jones, Reading David Jones and David Jones in the Great War. He is the editor of Jones’s illustrated Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Wedding Poems and Inner Necessities, the Letters of David Jones to Desmond Chute.

Monster Bluff Chess
Entrant for The Chess Variant Pages’ 10th Anniversary Competition
- Ten cheap chess sets, all alike;
- A good supply of poker chips or other chips that fit on the squares of the chessboards;
- Duct tape;
- Two small, shiny star stickers.
SetupArrange the chess sets in a single grid, as shown in the picture. Duct tape comes in handy for keeping them together. One king of each color is marked on the bottom with a sticker—this will be the True King you have to capture to win. The unmarked kings or princes are just there to sow confusion; during setup, keep the location of your True King secret from your opponent.
Place the pieces on the boards as shown. On the outside boards this is standard placement; on the inside boards 4--7, the lineup is reversed to keep queens on color.
PlayStandard FIDE rules apply to chess piece moves, including capture en passant. Extra-long rook, bishop, and queen moves are of course allowed, and so is extra-far castling (e.g. 8e1, 10a1 → 9c1, 9b1). However, pawns promote after moving six ranks forward, just as they do on a single 8×8 board.
The True Kings and princes all move just like FIDE kings but are not treated as royal. Check and mate are not applicable here, for all that you might enjoy declaring them; its capture (and inspection of his bottom for the birthmark, ha ha) that matters.
After both players have achieved a pawn promotion, the chips come into play. Either player may put chips on any empty space, or add to a previous stack of chips, as his turn. Either player may pick up a stack of chips but only by capturing them as if they were an enemy chess piece. With these bribes you attempt to weaken the opponents play (I prefer white 5¢, red 10¢, blue 25¢ with possibly green for 50¢; adjust to your own taste). Chips once placed do not move, except being taken off the board when captured.
Stacks of lower-valued chips (offers) do not impede chess piece movement. Rooks, bishops, and queens can slide right over them, and pawns may move straight onto themwithout taking the chips, of course. The highest-valued chips (blue, or blue & green, say) are obstacles to movement (demands), treated by both sides as immobile enemy pieces in their own right. Sliding pieces stop for them; they block a pawns forward steps. They must be taken or worked around. So, for example, they may interpose to prevent capture of a prince.
If the game lasts long enough that one player is reduced to a single prince, his True King is known by elimination and no more chips may be placed by either player.
Capture of a True King wins the game, and the winner takes all chips remaining on the board. It is not necessarily the case that the winner will end up with the most chips.
Using sand timers or some other device to limit the length of a turn could be helpful in completing chess's transition to a party game.
A smaller version—with only four boards, say—might be useful in getting the feel of things. For those of us used to abstract games, hunting for hidden information (and being paid not to hunt too well) comes as a new and very different set of challenges.
But for that matter, nowhere in the rules does it say you have to place any of the chips! If a very long round of Big Board chess with a Surprise Ending is more to your liking, go right ahead.

Release on 2017-11-04 | by Paramahansa Yogananda,SBP Editors
Author: Paramahansa Yogananda,SBP Editors
Pubpsher: Samaira Book Publishers
Category: Biography & Autobiography
Autobiography of a Yogi is an immensely gratifying spiritual read that has altered and enriched the lives of millions across the world, since it was first published in 1946. An originative text that tells the story of Paramhansa Yogananda, this book has been revered for its memorable, incisive and instructive teachings. This spiritual autobiography will take you on an incredible journey of Indian mysticism and spirituality and deliver humbling, comforting truths about life and existence.
Autobiography of a Yogi is an eloquently written story of an extraordinary life and an inspiring meditation on the art of yoga. Written decades ago, this poignant autobiography still has ample vigor and relevance in today s world.
This acclaimed autobiography presents a fascinating portrait of one of the great spiritual figures of our time. With engaging candor, eloquence, and wit, Paramahansa Yogananda narrates the inspiring chronicle of his life: the experiences of his remarkable childhood, encounters with many saints and sages during his youthful search throughout India for an illumined teacher, ten years of training in the hermitage of a revered yoga master, and the thirty years that he lived and taught in America. Also recorded here are his meetings with Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Luther Burbank, the Catholic stigmatist Therese Neumann, and other celebrated spiritual personalities of East and West. Autobiography of a Yogi is at once a beautifully written account of an exceptional life and a profound introduction to the ancient science of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation. The author clearly explains the subtle but definite laws behind both the ordinary events of everyday life and the extraordinary events commonly termed miracles. His absorbing life story thus becomes the background for a penetrating and unforgettable look at the ultimate mysteries of human existence.
This is a pre-1923 historical reproduction that was curated for quality. Quality assurance was conducted on each of these books in an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the digitization process. Though we have made best efforts - the books may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading experience. We believe this work is culturally important and have elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide.
Autobiography of a Yogi is an autobiography written by Paramahansa Yogananda in which he discusses his life story, and which introduced many Westerners to meditation and yoga. Self-Realization Fellowship, the publisher, has since translated the book into 28 languages and says that: "with the passing years 'thousands of readers' became millions, and the enduring and universal appeal of Autobiography of a Yogi has become increasingly apparent. It is still appearing on spiritual and inspirational best-seller lists sixty years after it was first published — a rare phenomenon! The book describes Yogananda's search for a guru, and his encounters with leading spiritual figures such as Therese Neumann, the Hindu saint Sri Anandamoyi Ma, Mohandas Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Sir C. V. Raman, and noted American plant scientist Luther Burbank, to whom it is dedicated.
The classic story of one of India’s greatest spiritual thinkers
Author: Paramahansa Yogananda
Pubpsher: Arcturus Publishing
As a young man Paramahansa Yogananda embarked on a quest to find his spiritual master, which he did in the form of Swami Sri Yukteswar - together they achieved 'a oneness of silence, words seemed the rankest superfluities'. A mixture of biography and scholarly reflections on the deepest mysteries of life, this is the classic text which introduced millions in the West to the teachings of meditation and kriya yoga.

We know D.C. Get our free newsletter to stay in the know.
If you’re coming into town on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, there’s an overhead road sign marking the split between U.S. 50 East/Anacostia Freeway and U.S. 50 West/New York Avenue maybe a quarter-mile before the split. The problem is that the westbound sign reads “TO NEW YORK AVE.” in absolutely tiny type, much smaller than the rest of the sign. You can’t read it until you’re within a few dozen yards of the sign, and it’s like, what’s the point? New York Avenue should be listed on the sign, but why not make it readable—put it in the same type size as the rest of the sign? Absolutely maddening!
Rest assured, a new sign that depicts “To New York Ave.” the same size as the rest of the sign is coming soon, perhaps as soon as today.
The previous sign’s small typeface may have been a manufacturer’s mistake, according to National Park Service (NPS) spokesperson Bill Line, but it’s unclear exactly when the Park Service, which oversees the parkway, installed the sign.
But don’t think that the reason for the change is your complaints, according to Line. Instead, it is part of two-year-old effort by the Park Service to standardize the fonts on all NPS signs.
The new font, NPS Rawlinson, should make signs more legible than the previous NPS fonts—Clarendon and Highway Gothic—according to the March/April NPS newsletter. And the font promises to provide a “functional advantage of improved legibility [that] set them apart visually from the more common typeface varieties found on typical office computers. This distinctiveness, when applied across the many forms of media used by the NPS, contributed subtly but effectively to the team’s overall goal to ‘establish a unique organizational identity that could be expressed through the full range of communication materials used by the National Park Service.’”
Every Monday, the ‘Huh?’ Bub takes your questions. Got one?

Hello and a very warm welcome to my newly relaunched blog. I'm Paul a 40 year old family man from the UK. In this complex, information overload 21st century world, too often we lose sight of what's really important. Here I want to celebrate life, share inspirational stories, throw the spotlight on charities and causes close to my heart. Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all.
Friday, 26 March 2010
Get your trainers on- come and join me on the Great North Run!
As I've said in my last couple of blog entries, I'm looking to use this blog to inspire and motivate people out there to challenge themselves to make a difference.
When you are trying to make positive changes in your life, I find it is so important to set yourselves goals. If you are looking to get back in shape, these days there are so many sporting events at all levels from a 1 mile run to triathalons that you can sign up for and enter. When you know that you are raising vital money for a special charity it certainly focuses your efforts, even on the darkest, coldest, wettest of training days.
Hopefully this will give you a taster of what its like to compete in events like this, and maybe one or two of you might even be inspired enough to give it a go. I promise, you won't regret it.
So, if you are in reasonable physical shape and are able to commit to a few hours a week of training, why not consider taking part in Britain's biggest annual running event, the very appropriately named - Great North Run.....
***One Amazing Race****
Every year, more than 50,000 people drawn from a complete cross-section of ages (well 17 and above), abilities, and walks of life, gain entry to the annual Great North Run. They each get to take on and experience first hand the uniquely atmospheric and undulating 13.1 mile journey from Newcastle City Centre to South Shields on the North East coast and in the process manage to collectively raise a staggering £10 million for charities. No doubt the vast majority of you will at least have seen the extensive BBC sports coverage of the event, always run on a Sunday morning typically in either late September or October
Between 1995 and 2005 I've been lucky enough to have completed the course on no less than six occasions, raising oodles of cash for worthy causes in the process and can honestly say I've loved every minute of each experience (however painful the blisters!)
So, if you've ever wondered what it's actually like to experience it at ground level, from a participant's perspective, please come with me now. Come on, get off that mental couch, grab your virtual trainers and join me, because I'm about to take you on an access all areas, guided tour of the biggest mass participation half marathon event on the planet!!
First things first, you have to get yourself a place. A potentially tricky business when you consider over 100,000 people apply every year! You can easily enter online, however entries typically close by early January, and the ballot is drawn in early February. Don't be disheartened though- there are any number of charities that can offer you guaranteed places, on the proviso that you raise at least a threshold amount. The entry fee for this year's race on the 20th September 2009 is £42, which may seem a lot but you do get a, t-shirt and medal, as well as a fantastic goodie bag for your efforts.
The other thing you need to carefully consider, is hotel accommodation. Believe me, Great north weekend is truly a hotel operators dream! Literally within a few weeks of next year's race date being announced you can pretty much draw a 30 mile radius round Newcastle and guarantee that every single hotel in the area is booked up. Don't panic - the official website at http://www.greatrun.org/ can help and road and rail access is very well organised on the day itself.
If you are able to make a whole weekend of it, with the Junior run and road race series taking place down by the Quayside on the Saturday, as well as the giant Pasta Party over by the finish area the night before, there's plenty going on prior to the big race itself. Would also strongly advise you purchase a day or weekend pass in advance for the Metro subway service, it's definitely the best way to get around the place, and you don't want to be queuing to buy tickets on the day.
****On your marks, get set, slow....!****
The day's finally arrived. The adrenalin's already pumping, the streets are teeming with huge numbers of runners and wellwishers slowly making their way down to the start area. As advised we get there in plenty of time (ideally by around 9.15am at the latest - earlier still if you want to put stuff on the baggage buses). We've had our brekky, no need for full English extravaganzas or energy bar nonsense, just a normal toast and cereal affair, and we're sipping on some water.
Standing up on the first viewing bridge you can see the elite runners up at the front, maybe spot a celeb or two, listening to the chirpy fella on the PA booming out the welcomes and announcements. Looking at the never ending colourful kaleidoscope of teeming humanity stretching out as far as the eye can see, the sheer enormity of the occasion suddenly dawns on you.
In the thick of all that anticipation and excitement comes a timely reminder of what all those long hours of training and effort are really all about. Our genial host introduces the now established annual tradition which allows us all to pause and reflect on all those dear people we've loved and lost, for so many the very reason and inspiration for them being here today. We stand silent and listen to that iconic hymn of love and camaraderie, Abide with me.
Maybe just time to see the wheelchair and ladies races which start around 10am, safe in the knowledge that Paula will be all cosy, feet up in her ice bath long before we even reach the half way mark. Final preparations, sensibly applying liberal amounts of vaseline to those sensitive areas - believe me, it can be painful otherwise - on my first run, I wore a charity shirt a size too small, it rained , it sunshined, and only when I eventually crossed the line did I realise I actually had two streaks of blood down my t-shirt - joggers nipple is not for the faint hearted!!
Next up, offloading the extra jerseys and trackie bottoms to our support team. Another top tip. particularly if you are running for charities is to get them to write your first name on your shirt front and back- its amazing how many people lining the route take the time to shout encouragement to you, and when you hear your name it's a huge lift. Cuddles and kisses and fond farewells to our loved ones who head off to try and beat the queues for the Metro in order to at least get to the finish area in time to see the elite leading men skipping down the home straight without a care in the world.
Back to matters in hand, if we can brave the portaloo queues at this stage, it's well worth taking a pre-race pee-stop - although there are one or two available on route, they're always in big demand; naturally there's always the grassy tree-lined banks up at the side for a more primeval direct option - I always admire the way people try to hide what they're doing up there and act all casual ; not so easy for the chap I saw one year with a full Angel of the North kit strapped on his back!
Now its time to line up properly, race start at 10.40am. Still, no need for us to try and squeeze too close to the front, each entrant wears their own electronic chip timer, so no worries if it takes 15 minutes to even cross the start line. In any case, towards the back you always find yourselves in the banter-rich company of the 100% fun runners and the heavyweight costumed hardcore charity ambassadors. Take a moment to marvel in their commitment to the cause and think about what it means to you.
Bang! At last our celebrity starter gets us underway and we're finally moving. Well technically speaking, more like trudging our way through a collective mass of elbows and knees, discarded bin bags, bottles and old sweatshirts, until finally we get a bit of space in front to get moving.
****Over the Bridge that day, that's where they spotted me...****
Warning! Warning! - This first mile of the course is pretty much downhill all the way to the Tyne Bridge and it's so easy to get carried along with the waves of people rushing ahead and end up running much faster than your normal training pace. There's an air of frenzied excitement that's hard to ignore, as you run under the first couple of bridges, accompanied to bellowing chants of Oggy, Oggy Oggy
I've learnt from bitter previous experience, if you want to run a good race here, the trick is to fight your natural instincts to keep up with those around you and start slow. Back in 1999, I grossly exaggerated my estimated finish time to 1hr 30 mins just so I could start close to the front and can still remember feeling like I was caught in a stampede, and by 2 or 3 miles I had to start alternating walking and running the rest of the way - not pleasant, and my worst ever finish time. Much more satisfying to start slow and overtake loads of people on the way round.
So, here we are at last, trotting our way over the mighty Tyne Bridge, barely a chance to take it in before we spot the giant camera gantry at the end. Now I have to say, despite all the hours of TV coverage, in all the years I've taken part, I've only once been seen by friends and family back home, and that was in my most recent effort of 2005. The minimal chance of being spotted in no way perturbs us from waving frantically like a giant collective swarm of deranged jellyfish before we charge down to the roundabout at the end where the first of many bands lining the route are invariably trotting out Blaydon Races at full tilt...
****Reality check - 9 miles of dual carriageway ahead****
Now what you don't always appreciate from the TV pictures is that pretty much all of the major landmarks and points of interest on route are concentrated either in the first bit up to the bridge or in the last couple of miles back through the outskirts of South Shields and the never ending coastal stretch at the end.
So somewhere around the 3 mile mark you realise that you are now on a continous dual laned, mostly straight but at the same time constantly undulating and gradually inclining road run. There's no question that as the initial enthusiasm starts to evaporate and you notice the chatter around you getting a little muted, inevitably some doubts will start to creep in about levels of fitness, preparation and being able to complete the distance.
The best way I've found to combat this is to break things down into manageable chunks, and set yourself little challenges along the way. My own personal favourite strategy is to try and target anybody running in a fancy dress outfit, whether it be the countless Scooby Doos, 118s or Supermen, or my own personal favourites the four elegantly attired Wombles from the Jesuit mission, and make sure you keep a mental score as you overtake them.
They are easy to pick out from the crowd ahead, usually easy enough to reel in - particularly the ones in the baking hot suits are bound to be tiring by this point - and best of all you find that when you run alongside them you get spurred on by the extra cheers from the side of the road as the kids recognise their favourite characters, everyone's a winner!
There are water stations spread every couple of miles from about 4 miles onwards. Best to be cautious and slow down around the watering holes, lots of people dive in early or start walking abruptly and it's far too easy to turn an ankle on all the empties scattered on the floor.
At last we reach the half-way point (if you are running for special reasons, the BBC usually have an interviewer up on the gantry near the Shell Garage here) and our weary legs get a rhythm injection spurred on by a guitar wielding drum happy live band bashing out "Keep on running"
Duly we oblige, gaining further momentum through the next few miles by high-fiving the kids lining the footpaths, we've already caught two of the famous 4, only Uncle Bulgaria and Madame Chalet can deny us now.
Our renewed enthusiasm is only temporarily dampened at the 8 mile mark when the one-legged fella sales past us on his crutches (yes it did happen to me in 1995)
****Oh I do like to be beside the seaside...****
Beyond 10 miles we reach civilization once more, and the scores of people young and old armed with cooling hose pipes, ghetto blasters pumping out yes you guessed it "keep on running" dishing out cups of water, biscuits, orange segments and sweeties are welcome relief. The only trouble is this is where the road gets pretty steep, so there's a lot of walking going on around you at this stage. But there's no time for us to slow up now, there's a tartan clad giant ball of fur within range and at last, Bulgaria has been passed.
Finally we reach the summit and cross the next roundabout there's a short, sheer 1 in 4 drop slope which leads right down to the sea if you can't make the turn. Frankly by this point we can only dream of having the energy levels in the tank to be able to make the for some traditional pub on the corner stop off.
Welcome to the longest home stretch imaginable - claimed to be just over a mile but as you look into the distance it seems like five. It's pure seaside, so mixed in with that welcome breeze you get the entoxicating whiff of burgers and icecreams from the sides.
At last, the 800 metres to go sign, and you can hear the faint whispers of the finishing line commentary. We've paced it well, and are round about the 2hr 20 mark, which puts us mid-fun running pack, safe in the knowledge there'll be at least 10,000 behind us in the final reckoning.
Furtive glances to the side are finally rewarded with the beautifully welcome sight of my good lady wife cheering us on from the sidelines. Suddenly my legs have rocket fuel in them and inexplicably I'm sprinting. You bravely keep the pace for a while and manage to pass on the sighting of all sightings. Chalet is only just up ahead. A mission is a mission, Jesuit or otherwise, and I'm going for it. Just on the final corner, moments from the line I catch the first lady of Wombling and with dramatic aplomb I dip for the line like a 100m runner.
It's over, we've made it, and I am overwhelmed with the sense of achievement written all over your face as you cross the line - or is it laughter as you gently pick me up of the floor and quickly rub my shoulders to try and ease the onset of severe cramping brought on by my late late victory surge.
Off we trot through the finishing area, past Sue Barker doing her final to camera wrap ups, through the endless lines to gain medal and shirts, and our last weary steps to the family fun area. No point trying mobiles at this stage, the networks simply can't cope. Just head to the amphitheatre of A to Zs where you can find your loved ones presuming you can still remember your name at this point.
Big hugs, ouch my shoulders, crash down on the grass bank get the burger and double chocolate cone order in and relax - we've done it - see you next year :) !

Here’s a fun fact, People are different!
People interpret pressure from unique perspectives. Some people view pressure as a threat while others view it as an opportunity to thrive. Innately, we all handle life’s curve-balls differently. However, with a bit of practice and a few helpful hints from MAU, you can develop your skills to work well under pressure.
Something You Should Know:
Experiencing pressure in the workplace is normal; how you handle that pressure is what can set you apart. It can also be the deciding factor to whether or not you successfully meet your deadlines, manage stress, or produce quality work.
Something You Can Do About It:
1. Ask yourself what needs to be done right now!
Forget about the deadline for a moment and prioritize your work. Ask yourself what needs to be done first and tackle that problem. Weisinger and Pawliw-Fry, authors of the book, "Performing Under Pressure: The Science of Doing Your Best When It Matters Most," remind us to focus on the task, not the outcome. When you solely focus the task at hand, it is easier to see the concrete steps necessary to excel versus succumbing to the pressure that the outcome may cause you to feel.
2. Ask for help if you need it!
That old saying that Teamwork makes the dream work still holds true. If you feel yourself being overwhelmed with a task don’t be afraid to ask for help. Weisinger and Pawliw-Fry also state that you can reduce the anxiety one may feel from pressure if you share how you’re feeling with someone else. Sharing the work and sharing your feelings can help you manage the pressure like a pro!
3. Divide your tasks into manageable pieces!
When you’re working on a project that is multi-layered, minimize the pressure of completing the entire project by dividing your work into workable pieces and conquering it! It’s time to get SMART

2017 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 gets styling updates and AHO but the engine is not fuel-injected; produces same power and torque from the 199.5 cc DTS-i motor
In another exclusive story, we were the first to reveal at the earliest that Bajaj Auto would be re-launching the flagship naked motorcycle in the Pulsar series. Standing true to the report, it has officially arrived at the domestic market. The NS 200 (Naked Sport) was discontinued from production midway through 2015 to make way for the AS200 that witnessed better demand.
Snubbing the earlier rumours that it was completely axed from the assembly lines as customers tend to prefer the more conventional semi-faired AS200 with whom it shares underpinnings, the new NS200 will consolidate the ever-popular Pulsar range that has seen updated motorcycles releasing through MY2017 updates with BS-IV compliant engines. Moreover, the arrival of TVS RTR Apache 200 4V will have instigated Bajaj to react soon regarding the revival.
The NS200, which was a brand new Pulsar after ages when launched, has comeback as MY2017 model and could stir up a revelation it did on its first stint. The test mules of the new Pulsar NS200 were spotted testing on Indian roads repeatedly and it fuelled a number of potential launch timeframe over the months. As revealed by us, the NS200 naked sporty bike has graced showrooms now.
The updated NS200 was highly anticipated to come with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) fitted as optional equipment but it has not been the case unfortunately. Here’s everything we know of the 2017 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 naked streetfighter:
2017 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 India Launch and Price
The updated Pulsar NS200 started reaching dealerships across the nation in the last few weeks. Now, it has entered the market and gets competitively slotted against its arch rival TVS Apache RTR 200 4V. The only version with disc brakes is priced at Rs. 96,453 (ex-showroom, New Delhi).
Like the range-topping RS200, it was expected to offer a single-channel unit but that’s of no avail. Priced at probably Rs. 6,000 odd more, the NS200 produces 3 PS more than the carburetted version of the Apache 200. But it gets BSIV compliant engine as opposed to Apache’s BS-III.
2017 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Engine, Performance and Mileage
No powertrain changes will be implemented while the addition of long-awaited fuel injection technology replacing the carburettor won’t happen and that’s a disappointment for many. In international markets, the NS200 gets fuel injection and ABS.
The NS200 is strapped with the same 199.5cc single-cylinder, BSIV, carburetted, liquid-cooled, triple-spark DTS-i engine that is tuned to deliver a maximum power output of 23.5 PS at 9,000 rpm and 18.3 Nm of peak torque at 8,000 rpm as in the AS200. The BS-IV compliant engine is paired to a six-speed gearbox which should help achieve 0-60 kmph acceleration time of 3.1 seconds. It is expected to top out the same claimed speed of 135 kmph and should return a mileage of around 42 kmpl.
|Engine Type||4 – stroke, SOHC – 4V – Liquid Cooled, single cylinder|
|Combustion system||Triple spark|
|Max Power||23.52 @ 9500 (Ps @ RPM)|
|Max Torque||18.3 @ 8000 (Nm @ RPM)|
|Exhaust system||Exhaust TEC enhanced centrally mounted|
2017 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Top Speed and Mileage
|Claimed Top Speed||135 kmph|
|0-60 kmph Acceleration Time||3.1 seconds|
|Approx. Mileage||Around 42 kmpl|
2017 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Dimensions
Absorbing the bumps and potholes while availing sporty handling characteristics are a front telescopic and rear monoshock suspension system. Scrubbing all the power produced when needed is assigned to a pedal disc setup with 280 mm disc at the front and 230 mm disc at the rear. It runs on tubeless 17-inch tyres as before.
The MY2017 NS200 measures 2,017 mm in length, 1,075 mm in height and has a width of 804 mm. It will continue to have the same wheelbase of 1,363 mm along with a 12-litre fuel tank. Built on pressed steel perimeter frame, it now tips the weighing scale at 152 kilograms due to compliance with BS-IV norms, just one kilos more due to the modifications including a secondary air induction and new Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI) running on five maps instead of two.
|Frame Type||Pressed steel Perimeter Frame|
|Wheel Base||1,363 mm|
|Ground Clearance||169 mm|
|Kerb Weight||152 kg|
|Fuel Tank Capacity||12 litres|
2017 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Brakes and Suspension
|Front Suspension||Telescopic Front Fork with Anti-friction Bush|
|Rear Suspension||Mono suspension with nitrox|
|Front Brake||280 mm Petal Disc with floating caliper|
|Rear Brake||230 mm Petal Disc with floating caliper|
|Front Tyre||100/80 – 17 – Tubeless|
|Rear Tyre||Rear: 130/70 – 17 – Tubeless|
2017 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Colours
The major change in the 2017 NS200 is the addition of new dual-tone paint job, new body graphics with sharp edgy protrudes on the tank receiving prominent 200 decals. The outgoing model was sold in full Black, black and white, black and blue, and black and red colour mixes. However, the revised graphics meant the new NS will be sold in three paint schemes: Graphite Black, Mirage White & Wild Red
2017 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Exterior and Features
The flagship naked Pulsar receives several modifications like changes to the body graphics, relocated Pulsar logo, inclusion of new mixed dual-tone paint schemes, inscription of ‘200’ decals, and addition of belly pan for better underbody protection. It will continue to be equipped with part analogue/digital console with blue illumination as in the fully-faired RS200. A prominent feature addition is the introduction of AHO (Auto Headlamp On) technology for improved safety of the riders in response to government mandate coming into effect from April 1.
2017 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Rivals
The newly launched Yamaha FZ250 is another close contender for the 2017 Pulsar NS200 but the naked Apache 200 4V will keep the exciting battle of the two enduring nemesis much more interesting as they are almost on-par in terms of performance for the given pricing.
2017 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 India Images


Two men from Afghanistan (one minor, 17 years old) were caught by the Croatian border police at the border crossing Sid – Tovarnik around 1:30 a.m. During the scanner check they were detected, as they were hiding inside of a truck. They were brought out of the truck, and the police officers placed the two men inside of a “small police car” and turned on the cold air conditioning. They kept them there for 7 hours, from 2:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
Before being locked in the car, the 2 men told the police that they didn’t want to go back to Serbia because they were encountering many problems there (“my health, my family, money, and other things, a lot of things, …”). The police responded: “this is a border, we don’t give an asylum to you”. They didn’t ask them any personal information.
After 7 hours of being held in the car with the cold air conditioning, Croatian border police transferred them directly to the Serbian border police at the same border crossing, Sid – Tovarnik. The Serbian police brought them to the police station in Sid.
They went to court, where the judge was asking them to pay a fine of 5000 RSD (50 euros) for illegal border crossing. They didn’t have enough money so both men were taken to prison in Sremska Mitrovica, where they spent 6 days. The judge changed the age of the minor, declaring that he was 18 years old and wrote in an official document that he was born on 1.1.2000. (copies of the original documents given by the judge and after by the prison police are available).


'God Bless America' a 'warmongering song,' Ithaca professor says
“God Bless America” is a “warmongering song” that should not be played at sporting events, according to an Ithaca College professor.
“In the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, the expressions of hyper-patriotism took hold,” Professor Stephen Mosher
wrote in an op-ed for The Ithacan, “Irving Berlin’s warmongering song ‘God Bless America’ became our second, unofficial national anthem at the ballpark.”
That song, “God Bless America,” was sung by concertgoers in Las Vegas on Sunday night, led by country duo Big & Rich, just an hour before a shooter opened fire on them....
He added: “Maybe ‘America the Beautiful’ would be better (although it has problems for 21st century citizens)."By Caleb Parke

10 Aug Carden Cunietti: An Interview with Eleanora Cunietti
Carden Cunietti is a London, U.K., design firm that focuses mostly (but not exclusively) on residential design. I have loved their work for years. I accidentally fell into their shop many years ago on Westbourne Park Road in London; I didn’t know much about them, but I occasionally purchased items there for my own clients or for gifts. I still have a beautiful Italian glass salad bowl and side dishes from them that is an oval shape with a white pearlized finish. Sadly, the store is gone, but their practice continues to thrive.
Their designs are modern, clean, eclectic, and fresh, with some colourful touches. It doesn’t have that overly studied and overdesigned feel that designers’ work sometimes falls into. Clearly their work is not only for the fabulously wealthy, which is refreshing, and their work is considerate of the fact that real people have to live in these spaces.
During my recent visit to London, I had the opportunity to have a talk with one of the firm’s principals, Eleanora Cunietti. Eleanora is warm, talkative and very forthcoming person. Working with partner Audrey Carden, she focuses primarily on running the business side of the practice, but each of the partners has their own clients, and she works on the creative side as well with her own clients. Carden Cunietti has 12 designers on staff.
Eleanora is Canadian-born and -trained – she graduated from my alma mater, OCAD – but left Canada right after graduation to work in Europe. She still has strong personal ties in Canada, though; her parents and sister live here, where her mother and stepfather own two Homefront stores in Toronto. During the course of her career, she has worked all over the world. Right now, she is doing projects in France, Israel, and Poland, to name a few.
How would you describe your work?
It’s a lot about personality and relationships, which creates our design direction. I don’t think we stick strongly to any particular look. In some cases, you can tell who has designed a space, but I don’t think this is overtly the case in our work. That said, I think that what does typify our work is that it is colourful and decorative.
Who is the ideal client?
One that pays his/her bills without delay or dispute! Seriously, there are two types of clients: ones that offer creative projects and ones that offer financial benefit. We need both. But, to elaborate, trust is absolutely key; once the relationship is established and you got to know the client, this trust leads to allowing the designer to make decisions, and speed up the project and ultimately reduce the time projects can take. Trust makes a huge difference. Also, a client who works with you; who helps edit your suggestions; and who doesn’t keep changing her/his mind!
If you had an opportunity to tell clients what knowledge or attitude they should bring to an interior design project, what would it be?
There are practical things like bringing images and magazines showing what they like. But we have methods that help clients establish a brief: we have them fill in a questionnaire, and when the project is a large one, we start by presenting a concept and suggestions for one room, to see their reaction. If after three tries on this one area are done, if we can’t get agreement with the client, then we may tell the client that we may not be the right designers for them.
Whom do you particularly admire? Who inspires you?
Although I do read magazines, I don’t really remember who may have done the work; I actually don’t get to see many other designers’ work. But I do find inspiration from the supply side. I do go to Paris and Milan to see the shows; there is fantastic inspiration to be found in that end of things.
There are several companies that inspire me continually: the Italian furniture company Promemoria; Sommerville and Scott, a British furniture maker/manufacturer; Fromental, a wallcovering design house, to name just a few. [None are readily available in Canada, unfortunately.]
