This dress for 'female gamers' isn't going over well
IRL Parsec
First of all, no women were involved in the design of this dress.
Cranium Apparel/Twitter
Nicole Carpenter— 2019-03-06 06:30 am | Last updated 2019-03-06 09:04 am
First, there was The Dress, the color-shifting frock that some are sure was white and gold, while others saw as blue and black. Now, there is The Gamer Dress—unabashedly red and black—that's spawning controversy and memes in the gaming community.
Esports apparel company Cranium Apparel, which creates and sells jerseys for esports teams, revealed the dress on Twitter over the weekend in what's now a seriously ratioed tweet. Cranium Apparel posted a photo of the dress, which is essentially an elongated polyester jersey nipped in at the waist and without sleeves. (One of the more egregious features, a cleavage zipper, won't make it to the final version, Cranium Apparel said on the product listing.) The dress, advertised at $53, is described as "never seen before in esports," designed to give "a new identity" to women in esports. The dress officially went up for sale on Tuesday.
"GET READY FEMALE GAMING COMMUNITY," Cranium Apparel wrote on Twitter. "ESPORTS DRESS NOW AVAILABLE. Its [sic] high time that we do something for the female gamers who receive so much backlash in the community. Stay Strong… We Respect You. Proudly supporting #WOMENINESPORTS. Tag Every Female Gamer You Know."
https://twitter.com/CraniumApparel/status/1101830061055860741
The problem many are having with this idea isn't that it's a dress. Dresses are great! As pointed out on Twitter by What's Good Games co-founder Andrea Rene, it's absolutely OK to love wearing dresses and playing video games—and feminity is often used to discredit women, in games and elsewhere. "At one point, I was told I couldn't wear dresses and be authentic talking about games," Rene wrote. "I like to think I proved them wrong."
It's the messaging around the dress that many found issue with—harassment of women in esports won't be fixed because of a dress. Nor will it create a "new identity" for women in gaming, especially in a landscape where women are already scrutinized for what they wear or how they look. (Many women who stream on Twitch are often called sexist names like "booby streamers" or "Twitch thots," which Polygon reporter Julia Alexander defined as a term "often used to insult a female streamer on a predominantly male platform.")
Media critic Nico Deyo noted that while the intention behind the dress was probably "good-hearted," the message was an issue. "The biggest problem, though, was the indication that this dress was to respect women and to make up for the harassment we suffer, which is just bonkers," Deyo told the Daily Dot. "A dress is not going to make anyone be less harassed."

Dawn "Yohosie" Hosie, a Dragon Ball FighterZ pro gamer, echoed that sentiment: "It didn't recognize that women's esports dresses have been done before (and better)," Hosie told the Daily Dot. "The boob zipper and 'gaming chair' colors masquerading as feminism and equal representation for both women and men in esports felt like the most consumerist solution to a very real problem in the esports arena."
Hosie added that she didn't find the dress offensive, just laughable—a short dress is the last thing she wants to wear on stage while competing. Some people might feel comfortable competing in a dress, but Hosie does not. "The idea of me crossing my legs while playing or having to be conscious of how I'm sitting fills me with anxiety and the exact opposite of how I want to compete," she said.
Unsurprisingly, Cranium Apparel noted in a Twitter reply that no women were involved in the design or decision-making for the dress.
Which is unfortunte because it's not like women just showed up recently on the esports scene. Women have always been interested in esports and gaming, and the fan base has grown exponentially in recent years. A 2018 Nielsen report found that the 29 percent of new esports fans "skew less male" than earlier esports fans. Twenty-five percent of esports fans, ages 13 to 40, are women, according to the report. In the U.K., analysts Kids Insights found that teenage girls and boys engage in esports at similar rates; in some instances, like attending live events, more girls were reported to have done so.
The sports industry might be moving away from marketing merchandise to women with a "shrink it and pink it" mentality, but esports merchandise is lagging behind. There just aren't that many options designed specifically for anyone but men. Take Blizzard Entertainment's Overwatch League, for example. The game itself is praised extensively for the diversity of its hero pool. (There are a bunch of female heroes, but Blizzard is consistently criticized for having no playable Black women.) On the Blizzard Gear Store, where the company sells its merchandise, there are tons of different shirt cuts, but most of it doesn't carry over to esports wear. Overwatch League merchandise, created and sold by Fanatics, does offer one women's cut T-shirt for each team. All jerseys, however, are in a men's cut. There are 647 items listed under the men's category compared to the 24 items for women. Of course, women can and do wear the men's cuts.
Blizzard Arena Los Angeles, where the Overwatch League is held each week, is often packed with women supporting their favorite Overwatch League teams. A lack of merchandise offerings for anyone but men is something they notice—and people have been tweeting about it over the years.
as much as it is an xd that no women were involved in the design process I will appreciate that there was a thought for apparel for women. @ owl wheres my womans jerseys or my dress ty in advance https://t.co/eFoeR4uxpT

Deyo, who wrote a blog post outlining how esports companies can create merchandise to folks other than men, told the Daily Dot she would like to see "well-made clothing that comes in a variety of colors and sizes."
"I think keeping it simple with athleisure/sweats and jerseys is honestly going to be a crowd pleaser but something that is maybe a little more feminine in some ways with prints—a good example would be [the Overwatch League's] Houston Outlaws' hoodie with the floral print logo—is great for guys, gals, and every other gender that wants to look a little cuter."
Houston Outlaws' floral hoodie, which was available in a limited quantity, is an example of how things are changing. The hoodie isn't explicitly marketed to men or women, but it's cool, and appeals to a wide variety of people. Naturally, fans were thrilled. Champion Athleticwear, too, is making a concerted effort to create new esports gear for women, with a Team Dignitas-branded women's line in partnership with the organization's championship Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team. (The collection isn't available just yet, however.)

The Gamer Dress was destined to fail because Cranium Apparel positioned itself as an advocate for women, without much input from women. Cranium Apparel founder Savar Sethi told the Daily Dot, though, that he's listening to feedback from the community. "We have identified the flaws within our team and are continuously working to fix them," he said. "We have seen many people come forward to help us with our future products and we highly appreciate them. We have also got a few women on board and we are turning to them before finalizing our next addition to the store."
Sethi added that Cranium Apparel "overused emojis" in the initial launch post, and also noted that "the new identity tagline was a bit rogue." He continued: "We have learnt a lot from this and will definitely take utmost care while announcing our future products."

It is impossible to discuss contemporary art without making reference to modern art. Indeed, modern art is not just the foundation of contemporary art, as many contemporary artists are still responding to modern artists today. The work of Matisse has been a major influence and of continuing interest to American artists since the first part of the 20th century. His exposure was early and constant: Alfred Stieglitz first showed Matisse's drawings, lithographs, watercolors, and etchings in the Little Galleries of the Photo Secession in 1908, and followed that initial exhibition with one of drawings and photographs of paintings in 1910; in 1912, Stieglitz presented Matisse's sculptures. The Red Studio was also exhibited at the celebrated Armory Show in 1913. Other New York exhibitions followed in 1915 and 1927, and again in 1931, when Alfred Barr organized a major Matisse retrospective, this time at the Philadelphia Museum of Art; a portion of this exhibition then traveled to ten major museums throughout the country.
Following the early exposure at Stieglitz's gallery in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired work by Matisse; at the Museum of Modern Art, Matisse's work has now been prominently featured for almost fifty years, and many other American museums have long since placed his work on permanent exhibition. Furthermore, there were many exhibitions of Matisse in this country during the 1950's and 1960's. As a result, generations of American artists and art students have had direct and intimate access to the art of Matisse, an art of particular appeal to American modernists and to American artists today, imbued as it is with light and spiritual breadth, while simultaneously addressing issues of reductive formalism.
The significance of Matisse definitely cannot be understated, and there was a particular time in the 1980's during which his influence was revived. Experimentation with color and the non-representational, as well as the uncoordinated swathes that exemplify his style can be seen in a variety of work, from Mark Rothko to Roy Lichtenstein. After Matisse explores the story of his resurrection. Why did Matisse emerge so clearly and intentionally in the 1980's? How did he emerge? What can this tell us about contemporary art in the 1980's and of Matisse himself?
—Excerpt from catalogue introduction by Susan Sollins, 1986.
Accompanying the exhibition is an illustrated catalogue with essays by Dore Ashton, Tiffany Bell, and Irving Sandler. Please click here or visit our shop for more information.

Anita's Reef is an easy and relaxing dive site known for its many common reef fish and overwhelming amount of colors.
There are two very small islands west of Similan island Ko Miang, both named Similan Island No5 or Koh Payu. One exceptional dive site in between those two islands is Anita's Reef where you will find many common Similan inhabitants. The reef is a rather unprovocative and easy sandy slope dotted woth some spectacular coral bommies, boulders and coral patches. The coral is mainly made of table and staghorn corals, but some bottlebrush corals, sheet corals and knobbly finger corals can be seen as well. One particular coral head named 'whole roll of film rock' is known to house nudibranchs, stonefish and pipefish. On the sandy patches keep your eyes open for Khul's stingrays, garden eels peeking out of the sand and giant sea cucumbers. Many of the common reef fish such as puffer fish, angelfish, triggerfish, oriental sweetlips and trevally attacking with enormous speeds can be found near the coral formations.

The Girl Who Takes An Eye for An Eye
Search LinkPlus for this item
Lisbeth Salander has been forged by a brutal childhood and horrific abuse. And repeated attempts on her life. The ink embedded in her skin is a constant reminder of her pledge to fight against the injustice she finds on every side. Confinement to the secure unit of a women's prison is intended as a punishment. Instead, Lisbeth finds herself in relative safety. Flodberga is a failing prison, effectively controlled by the inmates, and for a computer hacker of her exceptional gifts there are no boundaries. Mikael Blomkvist makes the long trip to visit every week - and receives a lead to follow for his pains, one that could provide an important expose for Millennium: Salander tells him to check out Leo Mannheimer, a seemingly reputable stockbroker from Stockholm, somehow connected to the long-ago death of a child psychologist - and to the psychiatric unit where Lisbeth was an involuntary patient as a child. Lisbeth knows she is coming closer to solving the mysteries of her early life; and even within the confines of the prison, she feels the deadly influence exerted by her twin sister. Salander will stand up for what she believes in. She will find out the truth. Whatever the cost

The idea of Project 9 and experimentation on raising Twins separately and together was interesting but i felt that they really missed not going into depth with Camilla and Lisbeth. Again, Lisbeth's super strength and massive brain power got a little tiresome at the end and also everyone finding Blomvkist irresistible gets old too but it was an entertaining read for what it was.

Where spider was good this is better. The flow is much easier and doesn't seemed hurried. More like the Dragon, but could be a little slower yet. Even though it was a good read in still felt as though some things were passed over. Still good though.

My slight disappointment in this book is minimal compared to other reviews here and I can sum mine up by just admitting that I didn't enjoy this one as much as the previous four books in the series. Having said that, it is definitely worth reading and is a good addition to the story, especially if you're already a fan of the series. I wish there was more with Lisbeth's evil twin sister, Camilla, and a little less about the government experiments on Swedish twins, but that's quibbling on my part. I will be excited when the next book comes out and look forward to spending more time with the world's best hacker, Lisbeth Salander.

Wow, the negative to vitriolic comments here are surprising to me. It takes a certain kind of confidence and significant skill and heart to write a book at all, much less to take on the challenge of continuing a series like the Millenium series. In my opinion, Lagercrantz manages the job competently. I enjoyed this book, and found myself reading faster and faster because I wanted to find out what was happening. It was good to learn some background on the dragon tattoo. Lisbeth Salander is a tremendous hero figure. I think if one liked Larsson's books, this book will be enjoyable and satisfying. I look forward to the next.

Definitely worthwhile reading for fans of the Millennium series. Pretty good plot, absorbed in all the familiar characters and content. A good-enough read, but the writing is very pedestrian. He's no Stieg Larsson.
ferm_dawg Jul 20, 2018
Shocked at how poorly this book was written, as with the 4th book, it takes almost the first half of the book to get interested. Who cares about the Millenium magazine? Who cares about a Islamic family living in Sweeden with family problems, those are in the paper everyday. And what is it so henious about the gov placing twins in seperate familys and then studying them once a year; I have a girlfriend who has a twin sister and they go to the U of M once a year... What was the point of this book??? Palmgren asks about a university study and the old nurse lady goes and gives him 2 patches of Fentynol? WTF..
NedSu May 14, 2018
Not much to add in the comments section- possible poor translation, stilted or wooden sentence structure. Easily not enough about Lisbeth Salinger. When the action finally starts, though, it proceeds nicely, proving that the author can write a good tale. This novel does keep the story and the characters alive, and I'd like to know about what may happen next.
humbleworm Apr 29, 2018
This was better than the 4th novel but it still pales in comparison to Larsson's longer original trilogy. Perhaps some things were lost in translation. Lagercrantz's layman depiction of prison, hackers and A.I. are simply not credible so his version of Lisbeth suffers greatly from hyperbole. His themes are relevant but intertwining all subplots wasn't necessary ... nor was the epilogue.
happycanuck Apr 01, 2018
Loved it as much as or perhaps even better that the other books in the series. The author/translator has a better grasp of English than the original author and so it reads more smoothly. The other books were also very good but somewhat stilted in the writing style.

Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne Lose NASCAR Points After Pocono Qualifying Debacle
The two veterans now have 10 fewer points each after their cars failed post-qualifying inspection multiple times at Pocono.
By Amanda Vincent August 3, 2018
Brian Lawdermilk—Getty Images
NASCAR released its weekly report on Wednesday, detailing penalties from the July 27-29 race weekend that included Camping World Truck and Monster Energy NASCAR Cup series races at Pocono Raceway and an Xfinity Series race at Iowa Speedway. Upon review, it's been revealed that the report included points deductions for the Cup Series teams of Kevin Harvick and Kasey Kahne.
Harvick and his No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing team and Kasey Kahne and his No. 95 Leavine Family Racing team were each docked 10 driver and owner points as a result of failing inspection three times at Pocono. They were among 13 Cup Series teams to fail inspection after qualifying at least once. Four cars, also including the No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing entry of Paul Menard and the No. 22 Team Penske entry of Joey Logano, failed at least twice.
No playoff points were taken, so the penalty has no effect on Harvick and his team, as they have locked into the playoffs by virtue of six race wins.
"Three failures at Chicago equated to 'we need to get more aggressive,' and more aggressive didn't cut it today for them," NASCAR Senior Vice President of Competition Scott Miller said after the problematic post-qualifying inspection at Pocono. "Most of the problems were centered around the body scan, but not all; some were mechanical measurements with the rear toe. We're disappointed in this, but we're certainly confident in our process."
All cars that failed the post-qualifying inspection at Pocono, which also served as pre-race inspection during the abbreviated Cup Series weekend schedule, had their qualifying times disallowed and started from the back of the field. Those who failed at least twice also had a team member ejected from the Pocono Raceway garage area.
NASCAR also listed indefinite suspensions of two team members, David M. Little Jr. and Douglas E. Choulnard, on its latest penalty report, both for behavioral violations. Little's suspension was a result of a violation of the sanctioning body's substance abuse policy. NASCAR, though, did not comment on the nature of Choulnard's violation.

"My jewelry is about self-examination; revealing pieces of myself through artistic creations. It is a reminder of the things we take for granted, such as the beauty and innocence found in nature. I work with the natural contours of organic ivory, semi- precious stones, and rustic metals. My process involves carving, sawing, forming, and soldering. The carving is usually the focal point of my work. I begin with a vision and the piece gradually evolves through a flow of ideas and intuitive choices. Each piece possesses a complex three-dimensional form, with movable parts constructed of rivets and hinges. The carvings are stained with a blend of herbs, teas and coffees to create depth. Then utilizing other materials such as sterling silver and occasional copper accents the piece begins to develop. This is followed by an accompaniment of semi precious stones that I have hand cut and polished under water. I then secure the carvings and stones by drilling directly through the carvings and the silver to thread rivets that securely fasten the hand carved pieces. The semi-precious stones are then set in non-traditional settings. Closures and clasps are then constructed using unconventional methods, adding to the originality of each piece. This process of progressive art creates sculpture as well as adornment; it can be worn or displayed. There are many components to the construction of my jewelry, but they tend to be simple reminders of life�s gifts."
"I call my current work �primitive modern�. It explores the most basic and universal shapes � circles, ovals, triangles. There is an inherent balance and harmony to these forms. They are natural forms for jewelry, wearable and tactile and used the world over in adornment. I believe they evoke a connection to our collective past.
The modern part comes from my choice of media. Polymer clay has only recently arrived in the artist�s toolbox, but for me it is a perfect choice. The color is spectacular. You can work with any palette your heart desires. It is soft and easily modeled in its raw state and hard and durable after baking. The surface can be textured and rough or polished to a brilliant shine. It is complex and surprising and great fun to work with. I just love it and I hope you enjoy it too."
"My jewelry pieces are improvisations on themes of free flowing as well as classical forms. The contrast between sterling silver, often oxidized, and 22k gold inspires the play with textures and patterns. Fine wires act similar to lines in drawings, and the use of gold balls can be bold or very delicate, depending on their sizes. Other favorite metals are 18k gold and platinum. I love luminous cabochons, aquamarines for their silky shine and their largeness, tourmalines for the range of colors. My goal is to keep an almost ancient simplicity for each piece, with the overall collection having a contemporary feel, reflecting complex references between materials, colors, and textures."
"In 1996, while walking along the rails of the Long Island Railroad, I happened to glance up and catch the sun's reflection on two large pane windows in an old industrial building. Through the glare I noticed that the space was empty. Curious, I walked to the front of the building and noticed that the New York subway also ran in front of this building. Staring at the facade, and hearing the screeches of the N train passing by over my head, I caught my breath, and made my way to the superintendent's office to inquire about the space. I was preparing myself for the sure let down when the superintendent opened the doors and I looked out of the large windows down at the tracks of the Long Island Railroad. My intrigue led me to discover that two floors in this old industrial building were vacant and remarkably available for rent. Instantly, I decided to make this my studio in New York City.
Today, at the foot of the Queensboro Bridge, overlooking the skyline of midtown Manhattan I design my limited edition wristwatches. Inspired by the treasures I still find walking along the railroad tracks of my backyard, my work includes large wall clocks and a series of "Pendulariums"- large oxidized boxes that hold as many as 20 pendulums and second hands-."

Artist Michael Michaud was born in Cleveland, Ohio and raised in Westport, Connecticut. He currently resides in Fairfield, CT with his wife and children. Michael studied at the Rochester Institute of Technology's prestigious school for American craftsmen, graduating in 1980. In 1991, fortunate enough to be living in the Connecticut countryside and working near New York City's flower district, Michael's love of nature began to combine with his love of jewelry.
She hopes she can share History�s most brilliant visionaries with you through her sterling silver work. Most pieces open to reveal hand-stamped quotes or images that capture her trust in human faith, life�s complex beauty and all its diversity.

Kathy�s distinctively meaningful jewelry continues to evoke passionate responses from long time collectors and new fans alike.
It's as if gypsy collided head on with elegance and when the dust cleared, there was a collection of necklaces sparkling with sapphires, earrings dripping with Mexican fire opals and bracelets jingling to the tune of tourmaline. Such charm is the Bo J.C. jewelry line. Created in 1995 by sisters Cathy Charles, the treasure maker who designs each collection, Jeanet Lee, the storyteller at the business end of it all, and their busy bee mother Helen �Bo� Lee, designer of the one-of-a-kind couture collection.
The fabulous trio works with a small troop of artisans who are masters of intricate craftsmanship- hammering, twisting and wire-wrapping. Bo J.C. is ever expanding on what they do best- delicate, feminine pieces full of spirit and made with love. Whether done in fine gold chains or their trademark braiding technique, Bo J.C. necklaces look daring layered or stand divine on their own. Earrings are made with the tiniest and finest points in mind, while bracelets are dainty yet bold in their generous use of gems.
"I ran a successful computer design studio for 15 years, and now I have returned to my first love: knitting. I have been an avid knitter since my teenage years. The thrill of shaping textures and forms out of a single continuous line fascinates me. I have always surrounded myself with fibers, yarns, and textiles, collected in Italy and elsewhere. I love to combine unexpected materials, or experiment with unconventional methods and elements. My goal is to transform the functional object from the ordinary to the special, from the traditional into the new and exciting.
My love of combining unusual materials led me to create my knitted and crocheted wire jewelry. I use traditional textile techniques to form unconventional structures for my jewelry and handbags. I knit the wire with gemstones and pearls to form soft and feminine structures. On other pieces, I trap rhinestones inside knitted mesh, then further weave the strands together to form an interlaced whole."
"Jewelry as an artistic expression is how I describe my work. I have strived to learn and master whatever technique serves my design purposes. This has led to studies in granulation, platinum fabrication, glass bead making, glassblowing, and fine cast glass/crystal.
My foundation consists in Dental Laboratory Technology; these skills readily transferred to jewelry methods. A graduate and past instructor for five years of the Gemological Institute of America, my skills evolved and grew. I have owned and operated several shops in California, and now I reside in N. Ridgeville, Ohio. Still stretching outside conventional jewelry in an artistic manner, but overall concerning myself with form, beauty and function."
Missouri-born designer Pam Meyer, founder and president of Alchemy, is a trained metal smith. She established Alchemy as a better costume jewelry company in the early 1980s, selling to department stores in the USA and overseas. In 1994, disillusioned with the fashion jewelry industry�s orientation to trends, Pam Meyer introduced trans-seasonal, industrial-motif jewelry groups and gift items representing a radical departure from everything that she had done before. The approach that now defines her work reflects her primary influences- the Bauhaus, determination to look beyond fashionability and to work with the matrix of the past, the motion of the present, and the meaning of the future.
"The architecture of the natural world inspires my collection. My study of horticulture and plant taxonomy, and the vivid journals and illustrations of 19th century botanists influence my designs. I hand select each gem for luminosity and unique character. Many pieces echo the forms of flowers I observe. Others are inspired by the colors and textures I see in nature. My jewelry is a journey into the natural world."
Billie Shane evolved seamlessly from furniture designer to jewelry, taking her skills designing bronze tables down a few sizes into something more portable. Blending the aesthetic influences of mid-century design with the somewhat rustic bronze casting techniques (from the aptly titled Bronze Age) she arrives at the perfect balance between the two.
Dogeared loves to spread positive energy into the world with personal and positive gifts, with the hip, handmade look and feel of the California lifestyle.
And it's working! Their Make a Wish Necklaces, reminders, karma and Word Jewels have touched the hearts and graced the necks of celebrities, stylists, film and TV stars everywhere. They love what they do! And you will too. Their jewels are casual enough to be worn everyday and unique enough to be found on the red carpet... and, most importantly, on you.
One sister in New York City the other sister in San Francisco, sharing a passion for beads and jewelry which began years ago as children. From selling on the sidewalks of their hometown to the sidewalks of London and eventually to galleries across the country, these sisters who once went their separate ways, are brought together again by their love for art, craftsmanship and beads. Their pieces are inspired by their travels and their beads, handpicked, are of the finest precious and semiprecious stones, pearls, crystals, metals and pendants.

Toronto House Price Bubble Hit with 15% Foreign Buyers Tax. "Property Scalpers" & "Double Ending" Brokers Targeted
April 20, 2017 by IWB
Wolf Richter wolfstreet.com, www.amazon.com/author/wolfrichter
"People need to ask themselves very carefully, 'Why am I buying this house?"': Stephen Poloz, Bank of Canada.
The government of the Province of Ontario announced a laundry list of measures to prick the crazy house price bubble in Toronto and surrounding areas. This includes a 15% transfer tax imposed on home sales to non-resident foreign investors, including corporations. It's aimed at Chinese investors in China that buy homes in Canada to diversify their assets and get them out of harm's way in their own country.
For them, homes in Toronto (or anywhere outside China) are an asset class denominated in a foreign currency. But these homes also confer other benefits in the event some untoward mishaps occur in China, as these investors appear to half-expect.
The Province of British Columbia imposed a similar measure last August to get a grip on the housing bubble in Vancouver that had long ago spiraled out of control. It had the effect of freezing the market, with home sales volume plunging.
Why now in Toronto? It appears that the attention of Chinese investors has pivoted from Vancouver to Toronto: In March, year-over year, the average price for all types of homes in Toronto soared 33%! It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this is simply ludicrous.
Canadians have been warned, though perhaps investors in China haven't gotten the memo yet.
At a press conference on April 12, Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz warned about this ludicrous house price inflation that "has divorced itself from any fundamentals that we can identify." Prices are in "an unsustainable zone."
"It's time we remind folks that prices of houses can go down as well as up. People need to ask themselves very carefully, 'Why am I buying this house?"'
The industry has been feverishly gushing hype that fundamentals explain why this ludicrous price inflation shouldn't be considered ludicrous. But Poloz would have none of it:
"There's no fundamental story that we could tell to justify that kind of inflation rate in housing prices….
Instead, he blamed a "growing role for speculation."
"For folks who are in the housing market it's a question of risk management, what would you do if there was a correction? When something has been rising that quickly, of course it's vulnerable to a correction."
So get ready for that "correction" – that was his message.
The Ontario government's "Fair Housing Plan" lists 16 measures, including:
A 15% "Non-Resident Speculation Tax" that applies to individuals who are not citizens or permanent residents of Canada and to foreign corporations buying residential properties of one to six units in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area plus surrounding regions (the "Greater Golden Horseshoe"). I circled Toronto:
But the transfer tax will not apply to refugees and "nominees" under Ontario's Immigrant Nominee Program. Further, the government might issue a rebate once the foreign investor obtains permanent resident status or citizenship.
A "vacant homes property tax" of unspecified magnitude in the City of Toronto "and potentially other interested municipalities" to "encourage" owners to either sell unoccupied units or rent them out. This would "address concerns" that homes are "being left vacant by speculators."
Flexibility to use "property tax tools to help unlock development opportunities," such as a higher tax on vacant land that has been approved for new housing.
A number of measures for in the rental market, including expansion of existing rent control in Ontario to buildings constructed after 1991 (rent control was limited to buildings built before 1991). It caps rent increases at 2.5% per year. Exceptions apply.
Measures to increase the "affordable housing supply," such as using "surplus provincial land assets" to develop a mix of market housing and "affordable" housing. Plus, among other goodies, "a targeted $125-million, five-year program" to boost the construction of rental apartment buildings "by rebating a portion of development charges." Affordable means subsidized. Developers love this language. They're going to make a killing.
Review "double ending" by brokers "to ensure that consumers are fairly represented in real estate transactions." Double ending is where one agent represents both the seller and a bidder, thus working both ends of a deal. This has been fingered as a practice that triggers bidding wars and drives up prices. The practice is banned in most provinces but not in Ontario.
A ban on "paper flipping" and similar practices that contribute to "excessive speculation." Some of it targets flipping homes in the preconstruction market, such as "entering into a contractual agreement to buy a residential unit and assigning it to another person prior to closing." This measure is targeted at condo speculators who place deposits on multiple units during the construction phase. Just before the building is complete, they sell the title ("assignment flipping") for a big profit.
A few days ago, Ontario Minister of Finance Charles Sousa called speculators who engage in preconstruction paper-flipping "property scalpers."
Vancouver's measures were not nearly as comprehensive. Yet the market froze as non-resident Chinese investors headed to Toronto, Seattle, and elsewhere to buy into the global asset class that North American homes have become.

Ruling party chaos: Dominican government 'spies' on its own
Santo Domingo.- Dominican Republic's government has a list of 20 alleged members of the ruling party (PLD) who oppose president Danilo Medina's bid for a consecutive second term, and aims to discredit them, according to Dr. Humberto Salazar, recently fired as head of the government's health policy commission(CERSS).
The alleged list even includes officials who openly support former president Leonel Fernandez's efforts to halt Medina's push for reelection.
He said "desperate reelection agents plan to launch an offensive of accusations to smear anyone who in their path and thus try to lower resistance among those opposed to the reform of the Constitution."
The former official, a staunch supporter of Fernandez, also of the PLD, said on the list figure Franklin Almeyda, Rafael Núñez, Domingo Jimenez, Nicolas Calderon, Enrique Martinez, Felipe Payano, Freddy Perez, Domingo Tavarez, Ignacio Ditrén, Kirsys Fernandez, Francisco Mendez, Elena Fernandez, Cesar Fernandez, Luis Manuel Bonetti, Andrés Marranzini, Annia Valdez, Omar Liriano, Dionis Sanchez and Jose Rafael Vargas.
He said the list "has been given to an intelligence agency of the Government to investigate the private lives, customs, travael, property, bank accounts, telephone calls and anything that can be used to be hand over to Dominican television's so-called investigative journalism programs and discredit them in that manner."
"All these theoretical discussions are a warning that, if from the National Palace by despair that overwhelms those who run such a stupid plan as this, it's possible that what happens is a sign that the stupidity of some has gone so far that by now they have no cure," Salazar said on Rumba 98.5FM.
The veteran politico was referring to the push by Medina supporters in Congress to amend the Constitution after the PLD's top leaders decided exactly 30 days ago to back the move which would allow the president to run again.
"The stupidity of every human being taken independently is in itself a big enough problem, with all kinds of consequences not always possible to identify. But the picture changes when we consider the stupidity of people who have power, that is, control over the fate of other peoples," Salazar said, quoting to the book 'The stupidity of power,' by Livraghi.

Alternative Title: O3
Ozone, (O3), triatomic allotrope of oxygen (a form of oxygen in which the molecule contains three atoms instead of two as in the common form) that accounts for the distinctive odour of the air after a thunderstorm or around electrical equipment. The odour of ozone around electrical machines was reported as early as 1785; ozone's chemical constitution was established in 1872. Ozone is an irritating, pale blue gas that is explosive and toxic, even at low concentrations. It occurs naturally in small amounts in the Earth's stratosphere, where it absorbs solar ultraviolet radiation, which otherwise could cause severe damage to living organisms on the Earth's surface. Under certain conditions, photochemical reactions between nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons in the lower atmosphere can produce ozone in concentrations high enough to cause irritation of the eyes and mucous membranes.
global warming: Surface-level ozone and other compounds
The next most significant greenhouse gas is surface, or low-level, ozone (O3). Surface O3 is a result of air pollution;...
Ozone usually is manufactured by passing an electric discharge through a current of oxygen or dry air. The resulting mixtures of ozone and original gases are suitable for most industrial purposes, although purer ozone may be obtained from them by various methods; for example, upon liquefaction, an oxygen-ozone mixture separates into two layers, of which the denser one contains about 75 percent ozone. The extreme instability and reactivity of concentrated ozone makes its preparation both difficult and hazardous.
Ozone is 1.5 times as dense as oxygen; at -112° C (-170° F) it condenses to a dark blue liquid, which freezes at -251.4° C (-420° F). The gas decomposes rapidly at temperatures above 100° C (212° F) or, in the presence of certain catalysts, at room temperatures. Although it resembles oxygen in many respects, ozone is much more reactive; hence, it is an extremely powerful oxidizing agent, particularly useful in converting olefins into aldehydes, ketones, or carboxylic acids. Because it can decolorize many substances, it is used commercially as a bleaching agent for organic compounds; as a strong germicide it is used to sterilize drinking water as well as to remove objectionable odours and flavours.

Rangers are battling several English Championship clubs to sign Livingston defender Craig Halkett, Football Insider sources understands.
Halkett was outstanding in Livingston's 1-0 win over Rangers last weekend and his performance blew away Gers boss Steven Gerrard.
23-year-old Halkett came through the ranks at Rangers, but never made the breakthrough into the first-team and was allowed to leave for Livingston in 2016 by then-boss Mark Warburton.
A well-placed source has told Football Insider that Gerrard is understood to be in the market for a new central defender and he is weighing up a formal move to bring Halkett back to Ibrox after sanctioning a pursuit of the player.
Halkett's eye-catching displays have brought him to the attention of several clubs in Scotland and England.
English Championship clubs have sent scouts to watch Halkett in action this season and they are continuing to monitor his situation at Almondvale.
In other Rangers news, it can be revealed the club are ready to lodge a bid for a player in the form of his life after a brilliant 2018.

Sutter: 'Huberdeau is probably the best passer that this team has had'
Josh Wegman
Calgary Flames head coach Darryl Sutter has high praise for his new star winger.
"Jonathan Huberdeau is probably the best passer that this team has had, maybe ever," he told Sportsnet's Derek Willis.
He may have a valid case, as Huberdeau led the league with 85 assists last season with the Florida Panthers.
The Flames acquired Huberdeau in a blockbuster trade this summer, along with defenseman MacKenzie Weegar, prospect Cole Schwindt, and a first-round pick, in exchange for Matthew Tkachuk and a fourth-rounder.
But Huberdeau is more in line to replace Johnny Gaudreau, who left for the Columbus Blue Jackets as a free agent, rather than Tkachuk. Gaudreau, a crafty playmaker in his own right, was the engine of Calgary's offense, leading the team with 75 assists and 115 points last season.
Gaudreau's 75 assists last year tied him with Al MacInnis for second most in a single season in Flames history. Kent Nilsson holds the record of 82, set back in 1980-81.
MacInnis holds the most career assists in franchise history (609), while Doug Gilmour owns the team record for helpers per game (0.80). During his NHL career, Huberdeau has recorded 415 assists over 671 contests.
