Mysterious Possible Gas Leak at the British Museum to Remain Mysterious

0728britmuseumpop.jpg

If you were one of the thousands of people rushed out of the British Museum this past Saturday after visitors started complaining about sudden sore throats and eye irritation, leading museum officials to believe that there might be a gas leak, well not to worry: no one has any idea what it caused it or what it was. Could it come back again? Yes or no. Will it hurt you if it does? Probably not, but maybe! In a strange case of bizarre honesty, police and fire officials investigated after the museum was quickly cleared out, only to find that they had no idea what had happened. Then the museum’s spokesman had to come out and say things like, “The answer won’t ever be known for sure” and “It was just a strange one-off incident.” Personally speaking, we think all this “who knows?” attitude can point to only one thing: ghosts. They’d already bought off the museum staff, obviously, and now they’ve gotten to the police and fire departments. Soon they’ll be running the whole of Britain. Consider yourself warned, English people.

Design Within Reach Tries a Reverse Stock Split to Bump Up the Value of Their Shares

0515dwr.jpg

Only having been with the company for nine months, Design Within Reach‘s still-new CEO John Edelman, is continuing down his promised path of big changes and turning the company around. Following successful marketing moves and patching up relationships with designers, now the company is trying to patch up its place in the stock market. Last summer, pre-Edelman, their stock had plummeted to the point where they voluntarily delisted themselves from Nasdaq, which was not a positive sign. Now, in the middle of their climb back up, they’ve announced a one-for-fifty reverse stock split of the company’s common stock. What this means in layman’s terms is that they’ll be adjusting the number of shares they offer by fifty (so if you had 50 shares, now you’d have just 1), while keeping the shareholder’s monetary value the same (your new 1 is worth the same as your old 50). This compression lets DWR raise the value of their shares and hopefully be more appealing to potential buyers. While there’s some stigma attached to putting this practice in place because often it’s an indicator that a company is in serious jeopardy, we’re not entirely sure how the situation will play out in this case, since DWR is digging itself out from being on its last legs and not still on its way down. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Wear it with skinny cargos or jeans for a sexy military look or even flirty feminine floral dresses for a tough girl twist. Pair it with thick tights and pleated minis for a back-to-school head-turner and even shorts and a boyfriend blazer. The options are endless, but whichever you choose, you’ll be walking tall in these wedges! And at $80, they’re a serious steal too!

The Avion: Driving from Canada to Mexico–on just 14 gallons of gas

pNo one cared about fuel economy in the ’80s. I drove a used six-cylinder Datsun that got terrible mileage, especially as driven by a high-school boy, where you needed to see if you could hit 85 m.p.h. on the way to the grocery store. But I was easily able to fill the tank on busboy wages, as gas was 99 cents per gallon, cheaper than soda./p

pNevertheless, in 1984 inventors Craig Henderson and Bill Green developed the A HREF=”http://www.100mpgplus.com/index.html” Avion/A, a hand-built car that hit an astonishing high of 113 miles per gallon in test runs. It wasn’t intended to be a “green” car; the duo set out to build a high-performance sports car, but by using manufacturing techniques “more closely related to small airplane construction than steel stamped automobiles”–composite materials are used widely throughout–the Avion achieved absurdly low mileage even though it used a standard Chrysler four-cylinder engine. Henderson drove it from Mexico to Canada while averaging 103 miles per gallon./pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/the_avion_driving_from_canada_to_mexico–on_just_14_gallons_of_gas_17262.asp”(more…)/a

Three places clutter hides at work

Clutter plagues the workplace in many ways, but these three areas are most often the worst offenders:

  1. Filing cabinets. At some businesses, filing cabinets are merely graveyards for old papers. Keep only the papers and files that you must and recycle (or shred) the rest.
  2. Language. Using buzz-words and let-met-try-to-impress-you language in your writing and speech can cause confusion, reduce productivity, and waste resources. A good rule of thumb is that if you can find the phrase in Unsuck-It‘s dictionary, you should think twice before using it. Direct language that is simple to understand will save you time and improve your communication skills.
  3. Top of your desk. The only items that should be on the top of your desk are the equipment you use at least once a day and the project you are working on currently. Pack up your project when you move on to the next task (I like using one flat file per project), and store in drawers and cupboards items you don’t use daily.

Meetings and cable clutter typically round out the top five hiding spots for clutter in offices. Where is the clutter in your office? Schedule 10 minutes a day to address your clutter issues and in a few weeks your office can be the last place clutter will be able to hide.
