WITH reference to Chris Robinson’s His Say (April 14) regarding the tower on the former Woolworth’s site.
Has he thought of the future? In my view, the city is spreading far too much. Land is needed for food and open spaces. We need to build upwards and underground to save space. Students in their own block would be supervised, which would save the mess they make now spoiling family homes in residential areas

Encourage and support your employees. In order
Encourage and support your employees. In order to encourage people, you need to know their strong and weak points.
Many people have great gifts and talents, but feel timid and are self conscious as a result of their pre-dispositions or the environment they grew up in. Do yourself and the society a favour and support people to grow and you’ll be greatly re-warded in return.
Also save yourself and your business a great deal of unnecassary sufferings. Find out what people are truly good at and place them in the position where they feel nurtured and can fully implement their abilities.
When people know that you have their interests at heart, they will naturally strive to apply themselves and give you their best. This is because people want to belong to “a fold” they can tender, even if that “fold” is a business. But you must be genuine about your intention. Because if you’re not, people will soon see through you.
4. Go the extra mile by being vigilant and showing some interests in the lives of your workers. This is also a way of keeping the path of communication open. People trust someone who takes the time to ask after them and really listen to what they have to say.

Being polite and
Being polite and courteous would help you out through a long way.
As soon as you realize that there is still something wrong with your car, return your car to the shop. Then you should politely ask to speak to the manager and the mechanic who worked on your car. And when you speak with them face to face, explain your dilemma and use as much detail as possible to let them understand completely your car?s trouble. You could even try going for a test drive with the mechanic so that you can show him the problem you encountered.
You see, being hot and angry would do you not much. As long as you do know where you stand and what your rights are, you might even get much more than what you paid for that faulty repair.

Whether the decision was yours alone,
Whether the decision was yours alone, or that of your kid?s, you being the voice of reason must determine the appropriate breed of dog that will be part of your family for the years to follow. Think of it as a trip to the grocery store. You have your absolute necessities, your health food, and your junk food.
Necessities
So you are at your wits end! Your kids are driving you crazy, ?we wanna dog, we wanna dog, we wanna dog!? You dream of puppies in your sleep, your kids demand animal crackers in their school lunches; they draw pictures of puppies and stick them to the refrigerator door. Just last night, you thought you heard your wife bark in her sleep You decide that living in this state of craziness is no longer acceptable! Your options are; get the hell out, invite your family to lobotomy class, or submit.
Junk Food
So you walk into the grocery store and immediately see this huge box of chocolate chip cookies. You know in your heart that you shouldn?t buy the damn box, but no matter how hard you try, your mind will not waver from imagining big fat chunks of chocolate mixed with icing sugar as it dribbles down your chin and stains your nice new shirt!
We can and will use this same analogy when discussing the new addition to the family:
Every year, thousands of dogs are purchased, adopted, or taken in by individuals acting on pure impulse.

There are so
There are so many weed killer products available that you can really never know which ones work. What you may not know is that there are some ways to make a homemade weed killer.
If you are cautious of the environment and don’t want to end up killing your grass and your weeds you should look into an alternative to regular toxic weed killers. With all of the toxins in the environment some people don’t want to further pollute the air we all breathe. I love natural solutions to everyday problems. Here is a great homemade weed killer.
1 tablespoon of gin or vivegar
1 teaspoon of dish soap
1 gallon of hot water
What you can then do is put this into an old spray bottle or pour it over the weeds.

From finance to design and decor

ANISHKA CLARKE has exchanged a career as a financial adviser for that of interior design, swapping cold numbers for what appears to be the warmer, more exciting world of colour and form.
The New York-based designer, who lays claims to ‘mutli-cultural aesthetic and ou tside-t he-box thinking.’ was born in Kingston, where she studied accounting and economics at the University of the West Indies, graduating with honours, and later completing a Masters in Business Administration from New York University’s Stern School of Business.
A 10-year career in finance followed, starting at Mayberry Investments Limited on Oxford Road, and ending in New York as an equity research analyst at investment bank Morgan Stanley and ratings agencv Standard & Poors.
In 2007, the creation of Ishka Designs Inc coincided with her graduation, summa cum laude, from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City with an associate degree in interior design.
START-UP CAPITAL
Partnering with fellow designer Niya Bascom; a creative photographer also based in New York, Clarke secured start-up capital for her business, later taking a bank loan, which created a 45 per cent debt-toequity financing ratio for the firm.
The duo worked at projects, from conceptualisation to implementation, including colour selection, concept studies and hand-rendering.
Clarke said the small team did everything at first.
“From strategic direction to taking out the trash, we wore all the hats, including accountant, lawyer, sales. Web designer, graphic designer.”
Ishka Designs, she says, does not have the typical partnership structure of a design firm.
Clarke is principal designer and majority shareholder. Her title at the firm is chairman, president and chief executive officer.
In total, there are three team members as well as a steady intern.
Adrienne Smith, an MBA graduate of Columbia University, also joined the team in February, bringing with her business-development skills.
The company’s brick and mortar design studio is located in Brooklyn, with a satellite office in Kingston.
“With technology and increasing outside-the-box thinking, we are pretty much able to design anywhere,” Clarke said.
Ishka provides interior design solutions for both residential and commercial spaces. Services currently range from one-day consultations on conceptualisation, colour, furniture fixtures and equipment or FFE selections, and material selections, to long-term comprehensive design-project solutions, which includes space planning, working drawings, hand-renderings, customdesign solutions, as well as FFE and materials selection.
Clarke explains that a comprehensive project solution starts with conceptualisation and finishes with a fully installed project, including lighting solutions, custom furniture design, colour selection, renderings and sketches, as well as design consultation.
On almost every project to date, they have created a custom piece of furniture.
“We find this highly appealing to most clients. Our future goal is to have a line of furniture/fixtures to sell at the retail level,” said Clarke.
The primary development cost in the early start-up phase was building out technology.
More recently, the company has switched to investing a great deal in marketing.
Its chief focus is to grow business in New York, but. “we also have an eye on the Jamaican market.” said Clarke.
