STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Work crews are preparing to repave two stretches of Hylan Boulevard between Oakwood and Great Kills, as a $6 million project to reconfigure four intersections on the street draws to a close.
The roadwork -- milling has already begun -- is being done at nighttime to minimize the impact on commuters: The repaving will be done on Hylan between Nelson and Fairlawn avenues in Great Kills, and between Hopkins Avenue in Bay Terrace and Guyon Avenue in Oakwood. Construction hours are 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
The target completion date is June 30.
At times during the roadwork, two-way traffic will run on one side of the roadway.
The project, directed by the city Department of Design and Construction, realigned the medians of four key Hylan intersections -- at Cleveland Avenue, Buffalo Street, Chesterton Avenue and Fieldway Avenue. The work also included new curbs, sidewalks, pedestrian ramps, traffic signals, bus pads, storm sewers and catch basins.

The Multiple Intelligence Theory introduced by Dr. Howard Gardner in 1983 is one of my favourites to explain the human nature and interactions. The traditional (western) take on intelligence is linguisticaly and logical-mathematically based. However that does not work for everyone, as there is obviously more variety of intelligences. Here is the Gardner`s classification:
|Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"):
|Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")
|Spatial intelligence ("picture, space smart")
|Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
|Musical intelligence ("music smart")
|Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
|Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
|Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")
Later on Gardner (1998) has nominated two additional candidate intelligences: Spiritual and Existentional ones, however he was less sure about how to define and incorporate them.
The theory says, a person has some of these intelligences highly developed, some less.
Out of my fasciantion for this theory I was observing my interactions with people around and came to a perplexing conclusion that my best friends are the ones with the same highly developed intelligence as mine (linguistic). Then I analysed all the happy couples I know and found out that – as far as I can obverse – both partners have the same leading intelligence! If we look at celebrity world, we can see that many sport stars go well with models (both being "body smart"), and in generally people of similar professions can coexist much better (assumed they have chosen their professions according to their leading intelligence and not to some other reason).
Could it be a good tip for those who are looking for a happy relationships? Surely, there is much, much more what makes a happy marriage/freindship/collaboration – but the mutual understanding seem to be based to a greater extend on the mutual intelligence. I think they call it "be on the same wave length".
You can test yourself on your leading intelligences here or here. Please note, that Dr.Gardner was vocal about his disdain for a singularly psychometric approach to measuring intelligence based on paper and pencil tests.
LOVE, axinia

We are Tom & Sarah Mills and we are an award winning husband and wife team who are fascinated with creating beautiful films. We use the latest cameras, gimbals and technology, including a fully licensed and insured drone operator which really makes your wedding film stand out from the rest!
Sarah's background is TV where she worked as an Assistant Producer self-shooting on many popular TV shows and Tom has always been into photography. We had our own wedding filmed which we absolutely loved and was one of the best purchases we made. This spurred on the start of our own wedding film company which has enabled us to film together all over the world!
Quick reference:
Where are you based? Chesham, Buckinghamshire
Twitter: millsfilmsuk
Facebook: millsfilmsuk
Favourite Bijou Venue: Notley Abbey
How many weddings do you do a year? No more than 35
Average price/cost: £2,000
How would you describe your wedding videography style and what makes you unique?
We see too many cheesy wedding videos with nineties backing tracks, including random dissolves and transitions. We want to make you a high quality cinematic film of your day using the very latest technology and video production. We deliver three films that are diverse and offer you a truly unique perspective of your day. We give you the fun & funky, 45 second Instagram film, the emotional 5 minute highlights film for your friends and family and the full feature length film that covers everything that happened on your big day!
How would you describe your working style? Will you have an assistant on the day?
We are very aware that the natural shots are the best and we pride ourselves on working discreetly. Our feedback is dominated by people stating how amazing and covert we were on the day. We are like ninjas! There are times that our intervention is required to set up the best shots, but apart from that we fade into the background!
What type of equipment do you use?
Depending on the package, we use anything between 3 and 5 UHD cameras and upwards of half a dozen microphones to ensure that the quality of the production is second to none. We have the top of the line equipment that is meticulously kept and updated when required. Being a fully licensed and insured aerial photographer, we also have two aerial drones to choose from. The importance of post production is something which can sometimes be overlooked. We edit and colour grade our films on state of the art Apple Macs with industry standard colour grading software – just to make the style of your wedding really suit you. People always take notice when we are wheeling our three or four bags worth of kit to and from weddings!
Do you shoot in HD? What format with the final version be in?
Our films are delivered in a minimum of 1080 HD, but we usually shoot in 4k to make sure the image is a crisp as it possibly can be! We deliver out films on personalized engraved USBs formatted to a file type that will work on any device, computer or TV alike.
What can you offer couples? Can they customise the package with you?
We have no hidden costs. If you hire us, you get us from bride and groom preparation to after the first dance. You can also add bespoke aerial footage to your film if you wish!
What parts of the day do you usually capture?
We capture everything in the wedding day from preparation to dancing. We leave no stone unturned as we find all the subtle idiosyncrasies that make your day individual and unique, as well as covering all the major aspects of the day that makes a wedding a wedding. On the ceremony and speeches there will be a minimum of three cameras trained on you to make sure we are capturing every little emotion from that special moment.
How long does it take you to edit?
Because of the extensive editing and colour grading that goes into the making of a breathtaking wedding film, we have a 6 to 8 week time frame to get your film perfected.
How long with the final version usually be?
We will provide three films. The fun and funky Instagram video is around 45 seconds, the Facebook highlights film for friends and family is around 5 minutes, and the full feature length film is anywhere between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the length of your ceremony and speeches.
How far in advance should couples book you?
We get booked up early so the earlier the better! Often wedding videography is seen as something to add on at a later date, but you would be amazed at the amount of people that we have to turn away because they try to book too late.
What information do you need from the couple before the wedding day?
We know that wedding planning can be hectic, and we know that plans can change! Two weeks before the wedding date we will contact our couples for an itinerary of the day to make sure that we are prepared and covering all aspects of the wedding that they would like covered.
What are your favourite trends?
We are loving the short funky Instagram wedding films right now. In this digital age people's attention spans are getting shorter and shorter, and to sum up all the fun of a wedding video in 45 seconds is a huge challenge and a fun one!
What are you expecting to see become more mainstream/more common in the next year or two?
Wedding films are looking more and more like full scale cinematic productions every year. The current state of the art gimbal technology and stabilisers that we use are becoming more and more common. It offers you as a consumer a great deal to get a fantastic wedding film! As long as we stay ahead of the game in our film making techniques then we can strive to be the best at what we do.
If you were getting married, how would you choose your wedding videographer?
Whoever you choose to go with, one piece of advice I can give you is this – definitely get a wedding videographer! It will be one of the best purchases you will make.
When we watched our own wedding video back there was so much we missed from our day that we saw happening in our video. Photographs can't take you back like the power of film can.
Find a videographer that you like the look of and contact them to see what they are like. It is important you like the style of their films, and more importantly them as people!
If you enjoy the style of our films or would like to meet us to talk about your wedding film please contact us.
