Cops are handing out parking tickets with pictures of yoga positions on them in a bid to calm down angry recipients. Parking control officers in Cambridge, Massachusetts, have been issued with 40,000 of the placatory citations. They are the brainchild of one Daniel Peltz, an "artist in residence" with the Cambridge Traffic and Parking Department. The tickets have an image of a yoga position on the front of the envelope, with instructions on the reverse on how to implement various moves. Susan Clippinger, the city's transportation chief, said the purpose of the tickets is to "debunk the idea that all parking tickets are a hostile action. We're not writing tickets to get somebody. We're writing tickets to help make the city function."u00a0 However, the move has not met with universal approval. One woman said, "I think it's a waste of an envelopment because if I got this as a ticket I am not looking at the poses to relax, believe me." Cambridge resident Hyunho Noh said that it was not working as he showed up to pay a $25 (Rs 1,135) ticket. "I don't like it. There's no way to like it."
