David Fincher's most recent foray into film was as exciting as ever. Fincher has been the go-to director for dark storytelling since his second film, "Seven". Since then he has been nominated for several Oscars and even won a Golden Globe for, "The Social Network". He seemingly cannot do wrong and his most recent film, "Gone Girl", really shows the talent he has become.
Gone Girl was adapted from a novel of the same name by Gillian Flynn, and though Fincher's directorial magic shines, the story is what ultimately carries the film. The big reveal comes about an hour into the two and half hour film, which allows for the feeling of a second film with the same cast of troubled characters
SEMI – SPOILER ALERT
The story begins with Nick Dunne, played by Ben Affleck, at a bar getting a bourbon. But we quickly end up back at his house watching a suspiciously calm Nick call the police because of a broken table, an open door, a missing wife and other suspicious circumstances.
As the police conduct their investigation into the disappearance of Nick's wife Amy, played by Rosamund Pike, more is revealed and Nick looks increasingly like the culprit. Television news programs start to suspect Nick as the killer, and a smile at the press conference doesn't do him any favors.
Right when the viewer is starting to think Dunne has done something terrible the film cuts to a free, driving and very much alive Amy Dunne.
That's when we get a look into the mind of Amy and the meticulous planning of her own murder. We begin to see her not as a victim but a ruthless and petty femme-fatale.
Neither of these characters are likable and the next hour and a half is a deep character study of Nick, Amy and two more characters we are introduced to played by Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler Perry.

There has been a lot of Oscar talk around Jake Gyllenhall's performance in "Nightcrawler", recently. The story is about driven sociopath who learns about the underground industry of filming scenes of accidents, crimes and fires. The story completely relies on the performance of it's star, and he does not disappoint.
Nightcrawler begins with an introduction to this character we see develop throughout the film. He attacks a security guard who catches him stealing copper wire.
He is not a good man and this is not a heartwarming story.
Shortly thereafter, Lou Bloom (Gyllenhaal) witnesses a car crash and a film crew who gets on a call to sell crash scene footage immediately after getting a short clip of the wreckage. This is the character's call to action. Bloom decides to trade in a bike he stole to a pawn shop for an old camcorder and a radio scanner.
He gets some footage of a car jacking and is able to negotiate a sale of his amateur footage to the morning news director of a struggling local news station.
A complicated and near sociopathic character herself, Nina, played marvelously by Rene Russo, gives a speech that would only inspire a character like Bloom. She tells him to continue getting quality footage but to focus on violence in affluent neighborhoods, at one point saying,
"A murder in Compton isn't news."
The next two scenes gives us a deeper insight into Gyllenhaal's character. He hires a desperate assistant whose pay he negotiates down to $30 a night. The two go together to their first crime scene where we first see the willingness of Bloom to do whatever it takes to get material he can sell.
He is eventually able to purchase a better camera and a sleek red sports car, presumably to get him to scenes quicker. He does not, however, give his assistant a raise.
Bloom's rival company eventually offers him a job after turning him down before. Bloom's response is to cut the brake fluid in his van which results in an accident. Bloom films it.
At this point, we know this man is a sociopath, but what comes still surprises……

X-Men is one of the most popular franchises in movie history, and for good reason. Not only is X-Men a brilliant Marvel comic with powerful story lines and complex motifs, but it boasts an increasingly famous cast of mutants. Newcomers in this film were Jennifer Lawrence, Peter Dinklage, and James McAvoy.
Not only did the film do well in the box office, as all X-Men films do, it received critical acclaim as well. Bryan Singer is an amazing director, he is best known for, "The Usual Suspects" but has comic book to movie experience with previous X-Men films and Superman Returns. He does not disappoint with X-Men: Days of Future Past.
The plot sets this movie apart from the rest.
The movie is set in the future, and rather believably so, where sentinels are on the brink of exterminating not just mutants but the humans who dare to assist them. The sentinels are robots that can mimic mutant mutations, so as soon as they are attacked by a mutant they absorb that power and can use it from thereon. There remains a few mutants in this future and we finally see Xavier and Magneto come together to fight their common foe. To do this, they must project someone into the past to stop this from ever happening.
Let the spoilers begin: [WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD]
Every X-Men movie has to have Wolverine. This beautiful predictability leads the writers to send Wolverine back to 1973 to stop Bolivar Trask, the creator of the sentinels, from being assassinated by Mystique. This event sparks a mindset for humans of us vs them. This is another subtle but not preachy X-men motif pulled off with flawless execution.
X-Men movies are not going anywhere, they make too much money, and the market is too big. The other good news for X-Men fans is that there is 40 years worth of stories, and Hugh Jackman is as timeless as Wolverine.

Finding Money in Hollywood Just Got Easier
September 19, 2014 by Justin Perich
For the past several years (depending on who you ask, anywhere between 10 and 30), film and TV productions have been trickling out of the Movie Capital of World and into other states and even other countries. The exodus has been blamed mainly on the tax and other financial breaks and incentives other cities — like New York, Baltimore, and even Albuquerque — have offered to productions in search of filming locations. Hollywood, on the other hand has not updated its tax incentive program for six years instead, it seems, relying on the rich history of the locations they have and the allure of the cities widely regarded name.
In that time, Hollywood's program has become hopelessly outstripped by other cities. To make the difference clear, compare the 100 million dollar pool of incentives (doled out by a mystifying lottery system) to the 423 million offered in New York. Offered those financial choices and armed with the ability to greenscreen actors anywhere in the world afforded by modern technology, it's no wonder even big name movies are taking their business elsewhere.
Faced with the very real potential of losing its reputation as the place to film, Hollywood is finally wising up! At the Chinese Theatre (a classic theatre in Hollywood associated with many great film premieres throughout history, including, among others, Star Wars and famed for the handprints and footprints of famous stars that line it's forecourt) Governor Jerry Brown will sign the "California Film and Television Job Retention and Promotion Act" and officially turn the bill into a law. This bill will more than triple the amount in the incentive pool, increasing the amount from 100 million all the way to 330 million. It will also change the way those incentives are distributed, giving the boot to the blind lottery system and enacting a process that will give funds based on how many jobs a production will generate.
Hollywood may be down, but it is certainly not out thanks to this bill. And it may have come just in time with TV really starting to generate critical acclaim and momentum in the entertainment industry there are going to be more productions and more hours of filming than ever this coming season. Dust off the cameras, Tinseltown is back!

Justin Perich on HuffPost Live

I discovered HuffPost Live, the live stream of the Huffington Post for the first time a few weeks ago. I ran across HuffPost Live while I was on their main news site looking at articles in the Healthy Living vertical. It was then that I looked at right top hand corner of my screen and noticed , funny man and popular actor Marlon Wayans was on for a segment about his new TBS show Funniest Wins. Marlon Wayans is the an executive producer and host of the new comedy competition in which 10 comedians compete against each other for a starring spot on his series What The Funny and a $100,000 prize. Host Marc Lamont Hill had a hilariously entertaining interview with Marlon Wayans where the viewers are able to comment along in the live thread. I decided to ask him how he felt about Nick Cannons white face controversy since he most notably wore white face in the movie White Chicks. To my surprise, my comment was picked up and read live by Marc. Marlon Wayans answered with a great and legitimate response. You'll have to watch the segment to hear what his response is! Check it out below. My question is answered about 15 mins in to the interview. I have been tuning in to Funniest Wins and I must say it is very funny and the comedians are talented. I look forward to checking out the rest of the season.

Neighbors – As both a writer and director, Nicholas Stoller has proved himself capable of delivering highly enjoyable comedies which gently subvert expectations and tropes. In Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Jason Segal's Peter Bretter failed to win the Hawaiian girl back with the speech and had to return back to the mainland and get his life together before she'd consider taking him back. In The Five Year Engagement, the story begins where most movies end, the man proposing to the woman, and we get to see what happens when the butterflies fade and reality settles in. Neighbors has a similarly subtle uniqueness in its comedic approach to married life and generational struggles. The story finds Mac and Kelly Radner (played with heart and charm by Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) living next door to a frat house in a college town, run by Teddy and Pete (Zac Efron and Dave Franco, respectively). What begins as a mutual respect between two "families" turns into all out war between the old and the young, the so-called mature and immature. This is a movie largely made by and for men, but writers Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O'Brien are to be commended for creating a major female character who is just as fun and complex as her male counterpart. Gone is the tired dumb dad and nagging wife routine–here Rogen and Byrne split the laughs and hijinks equally. While not as groundbreaking as the success of Bridesmaids a few years ago, the fact that male artists in showbiz are getting the hint and rising to the modest challenge of the Bechdel test is a good sign for the future of Hollywood. And on a basic level, Neighbors is just plain funny. 4/5 stars.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier – The latest Marvel movie is a nonstop action ride that will hold your attention from start to finish and not a second longer. Chris Evans, Robert Redford, Samuel L. Jackson, and Scarlett Johansson all turn in solid if somewhat stiff performances in this flick conventionally directed by Anthony Russo, a newcomer to the superhero genre who spends his allotted two hours attempting to build his bonafides by playing it safe and following his predecessors. As a result, the film never reaches the heights of The Avengers, Joss Whedon's clever and inventive smash hit from a few years ago. Following the events of that movie, The Winter Soldier gives us a Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) living a quiet life in DC, attempting to adapt to modern life until another S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is put in danger. The Captain teams up with the Black Widow and the Falcon to kick some ass, uncover an enormous global conspiracy, and save the day. It's a formula we pay for and formula we get with this one–fortunately and surprisingly, screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely pen their best script yet, and the resulting films includes enough comedy, tension and pathos that we find ourselves caring about the characters the way you might care about an action figure toy–it may be lifeless and a dime a dozen, but there's undoubtably a connection there. 4/5 stars.

Her – My personal favorite for the Best Picture Oscar, Spike Jonze's Her tells the story of Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), a lonely man living in a slightly futuristic Los Angeles who earns his living writing intimate, handwritten letters for other people. By now, those who haven't seen the movie have already heard what happens next–Theodore falls in love with an artificially intelligent operating system (played pitch-perfectly by Scarlett Johansson). But the strength of the movie is that it succeeds not only in its novel premise, but in its uniquely satisfying execution. Her is a movie that never stops building on its own ideas. It makes you think not only about technology's ever-growing role in society, but about human relationships in general. The romance is played perfectly straight, like any other movie about two individuals negotiating the delicate dance of falling in love. Cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema's LA of the near future is brilliant in its simplicity, in its warm, glowing, colorful nostalgia for a past that never quite was (art direction, sets, and costumes by Austin Gorg, Gene Serdena, and Casey Storm, respectively). Lastly, supporting performances by Amy Adams, Chris Pratt, Olivia Wilde, and Rooney Mara, as well as a dynamic score by Arcade Fire, make Her the leader of the pack in a year of terrific films. 5/5 stars.

Below are photos and sketches of some of the gardens that Rosemary has designed along with a description and some of the ideas behind the design.
This sitting area, remote from house and enclosed in attractive planting, makes a pleasant retreat.
This courtyard garden, with scented plants and bubble fountain, has a colour scheme of yellow, white and blue chosen to tone with the Cotswold stone of house and is designed to be low maintenance.

A simple circle of gravel, edged with blue rope topped tiles, and with a central bird bath, brings structure to an area of informal planting whilst giving access for maintenance. Colour scheme based mainly on blue, white and yellow.
Rosemary's sketch shows the effect of the introduction of a layer of planting of intermediate height between a background of large dark trees and a foreground of lawn. The new planting uses varied foliage in colours which will show up against the dark background and will have lots of Autumn colour.

Q: How can I use a typescript file in multiple projects some using modules (node.js) and some don't? I used typescript in the past mainly for client side code to run in the browser. Now I am trying to reuse some classes of my library for node.js. My setup looks like this:

*

*SharedLibrary Project with multiple classes

*Client Project using the SharedLibrary

*Server Project with node.js using the SharedLibrary

Node.js seems to force me to use commonjs as module library for typescript. Thus my code on the server side will be forced to use modules as well. How can I include my SharedLibrary now in this project? It seems modules are unable to access anything outside of the module except if it is itself a module but I also can't change my SharedLibrary to a module as this would force me to change my whole code base. Is there any way out of this without having to change everything?
Example code:
Library file A.ts:
class A {
    public call() {
        console.log("class A");
    }
}

Server file C.ts:
export class C {
    public call(): void {
        console.log("class c");

        let a = new A(); //this will compile but crash during runtime
        a.call();

    }
}

node.js main file:
import * as myodule from "./C";
var s = new myodule.C();
s.call();

It will print "class c" and then crash as it can't find class A. It works just fine if I add export to "class A" and then import it but then my client side code stops working.
What I tried so far:

*

*using the files directly doesn't work

*using the export keyword to export class A outside of its .ts file doesn't seem to work either

*C style defines might work that optionally define the shared library as export or not should work but I couldn't find anything like that in typescript

A:
Is there any way out of this without having to change everything?

Just use commonjs everywhere and use a module loader/bundler like webpack. Here is a quickstart : https://basarat.gitbooks.io/typescript/content/docs/quick/browser.html
Example
Here is a fairly large project that uses this method http://alm.tools/

Friends of Sid Boyum
Who Was Sid Boyum?
Sid Boyum in the News
Sid's Art
Digging Through the Mold for Historic Gems
February 25, 2016 Brian
by Andy Kraushaar and David Erickson, Wisconsin Historical Society
An assorted stack of art moldering in Sid's abandoned house (August, 2015).
In July 2015, Mark Fraire of the Dane County Cultural affairs Commission invited staff members of the Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS) to review the contents of the Sid Boyum house at 237 Waubesa Street. The County had recently taken over the house for non-payment of taxes and had planned to sell the house and all of its contents at public auction in September of 2015. Mark wanted to save the art within the house and asked if WHS could make an assessment.
Jim Hirsch of Paul Davis Restoration investigates the stairwell of Sid's house. Steve Boyum's paintings are seen on the walls. (August, 2015)
Abandoned for over 15 years, the interior of the house was in very rough condition. Water damage, animal remains and the overpowering smell of mold permeated the house. Piles of paper lay everywhere, and we immediately realized that we needed to save a great deal of flat art before further deterioration occurred. Dane County gave the Wisconsin Historical Society permission to remove from the house items it deemed of historic value. Ownership of the material would remain with the County until title and intellectual property rights could be determined and transferred to WHS.
In addition to Sid's sculptures and paintings, the house contained a significant library of books, assorted artifacts, photographic prints and negatives, photographic equipment and personal effects, as well as an abundance of artwork created by Sid's son, Steve Boyum. We concentrated on collecting the work of Sid Boyum rather than the work of his son. Steve's work tended to be more abstract and personal in nature and less documentary and political. Thanks to funds and volunteer effort provided by the Friends of Sid Boyum, Steve's work has been saved and transferred with other materials from the house to Paul Davis Restoration.
Sid had artwork spread throughout his house. We found Sid's artistic output stored, piled and stashed away in every available room, and we also found some noteworthy pieces by others. Several signed Robert O. Hodgell prints were found in the house (not currently part of the WHS collection). Hodgell, a student at the UW-Madison, later became an Art Director at the University.
Portrait of Sid Boyum by Cloyd Sweigert, 1966
A painted profile portrait of Sid done by Cloyd Sweigert, a California based painter and cartoonist, lay buried in a stack of drawings. The portrait, dated 1966, shows Sid with a beanie on his head and the ever-present cigar in his mouth.
The House on the Rock.
Sid was a good friend of Alex Jordan Jr., the founder of the House on the Rock. Acting as Artistic Director during the formative years of the attraction, Sid worked with Alex in creating, planning and acquiring pieces for display.
Tom Every, better known as Doctor Evermor, also worked with Sid and Alex at this time. All three admired one another's skills, shared talents, and collaborated on several projects.
Tom Every (a.k.a. Dr. Evermor) demonstrates the wheel of fortune at his home in the Highlands.
After several visits to the house, we determined that the effort most relevant to the Wisconsin Historical Society's mission: to gather all of the photographic material, original paper art and films created by Sid Boyum.

Ad for Cecil's Sandals by Sid Boyum
We concentrated on his work at Gisholt Machine Company, work for neighborhood businesses (Martin Glass, Union Tavern, Cecil's Sandals, and Virginia Dane Company) and the political and satirical cartoons that he made for the Ice Chippers and Ducks Unlimited. We left behind Sid's oil paintings and preliminary sketches. We felt these fine art works were less suitable to the collections at WHS.
"Reclining Nude" original painting by Sid Boyum hanging in Sid's Waubesa Street living room (August, 2015)
[Editor's note: Sid's oil paintings and other fine art works are now safely housed at Paul Davis Restoration's facility]
We couldn't save everything. Some material had deteriorated too much, due to the severe conditions and fluctuating temperatures. Many diacetate photographic film negatives stored in the second story of the un-air conditioned house had completely deteriorated due to the extreme heat. We had to discard other material damaged from sitting in water from the leaking roof.
We retrieved several thousand 4"x5" black and white negatives, several hundred 35mm color slides and negatives, and hundreds of photographic prints. We also gathered many hundreds of drawings and prints, including greeting cards, advertising and slogans for local businesses, graphics for Gisholt Machine Company, political signage, and opening day fishing posters.
It's very easy to get excited about the Opening Day of Fishing Season artwork. Sid created a commemorative poster every April from 1963-1989 for The Wisconsin State Journal and the Capital Times' Sports Section. During those years, Sid planned, created, staged, rehearsed, and finally drew an imaginary story for annual publication in the newspapers. Arguably his best and most unique work, these masterful fish tales called out his skill as an artist, his tactical skill and planning, his wild imagination and his famous ability to lie and creatively expand the truth with the best.
1987 Fishing Opener Poster
In 1976, Sid proudly received the Burlington Liar's Club Award with a classic lie: "During a recent cold snap, I saw a nightcrawler steal the fur coat off a caterpillar and crawl back in his hole." This became a graphic element in his fishing poster for 1987. In exchange for the use of his artwork, the newspapers gave Sid offset lithograph prints of his artwork to distribute as he wished. The drawings depict fantastic, fanciful scenes relating to fishing lore and fishing iconography. Sid's fishing poster artwork was scattered throughout the house. We found only one original pen and ink drawing of the opening day series, from 1973. Other formats including a variety of reproduction processes were discovered for many of the other years, but a few are missing entirely.
We are guessing that during the years that the local papers were on strike, 1977-1979, that Sid did not produce the fishing poster. If so, we are only missing the 1983 poster. If you know of copies in any format for the years 1965, 1968, 1974, 1977-1979, 1983, 1984 or 1986, please contact the Wisconsin Historical Society. We only have relatively poor reproductions for those years. Interestingly, Sid apparently used many of the 4″x5″ black and white photogaphs to help provide content and visual inspiration for the pen and ink drawings.

In 1968, Sid's neighborhood friend Gene Coffman became interested in the idea of developing a washable make-up paint that he patented under the name of Disguise Stix©, produced by his company Gratco Corporation. Gene asked Sid to provide the artistry to demonstrate the capabilities of this new product. Together they made a series of photographs of nude women that Sid painted using the Disguise Stix© . Several color prints and slides found in the collection depict these experiments. Gene's son, Eric Coffman, loaned some images to WHS for scanning and inclusion in the online collection. Gratco Corporation later evolved into Graftobian, a professional make-up company based in Madison, Wisconsin, owned and operated by Eric Coffman.
Caveman Sid.

Photographs of Sid show up throughout the material salvaged from the house. Several dozen of these images could be classified as self-portraits. Don't rush to the conclusion that Sid enjoyed taking light-hearted "selfies" as a sharing social experience or as scrap-book material. As you learn more about the context of these images, it becomes more obvious that Sid took these photos with a clear purpose in mind. Sid took photographs of himself posing with props, in staged settings or served as a model for some longer-term project that might show up in a fishing drawing or a greeting card. Sid's use of self-portraits appears more the work of a serious, planning, tactician than a personal or social benchmark created for enjoyment.
The work to organize the material began in the fall of 2015 at the WHS. This work was time-consuming and somewhat daunting. We found most of the flat artwork in large piles, with very little organization. We initially organized the material by format and then further organized it by subject.
Pull Yourself Together
The material contained in the WHS Boyum collection gives an archivist or cataloguer a solid visual impression of Sid's physical nature, clues to his demeanor and evidence of how he spent his life. Manuscripts containing letters, journals and other correspondence allow the researcher to become familiar with Sid's sardonic personality. Sid's work and documented history provides insight into his personal thoughts while you come to know his technical and artistic skills as a writer, artist, photographer and filmmaker. You learn what he does for fun and what he is intensely serious about both professionally and personally.
Some of the material is so personal and private that sharing these discoveries violates good judgment and an implied trust as a researcher. From what we know, we'd certainly enjoy sharing a beer or two with the man and clear up a couple of questions.
With help from students of the UW School of Library and Information Studies and the Friends of Sid Boyum, the Wisconsin Historical Society is attempting to digitize the best of the material to make it easily accessible to the public. Currently, the WHS has almost four hundred Sid Boyum images available on its website, with more on the way. Eventually, when physical ownership and intellectual rights are sorted out, prints will be available to help support the Friends of Sid Boyum and WHS to save the artwork of Sid Boyum.
Dedicated to preserving the art and legacy of Madison artist Sid Boyum.

VIEW FROM QUEEN'S PARK: Time to elect the Chair of York Region
November 5, 2015	· 0 Comments
By Chris Ballard, MPP
Newmarket-Aurora
Winston Churchill once said democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried. I'd like to give democracy a try when it comes to electing the Chair of York Region.
You may not be aware that the most powerful municipal political position in the Region is an appointed one. The Chair is not directly elected by voters, the chair is appointed by members of Regional Council. In fact, the Chair does not even have to be an elected official, for example a Mayor or a Regional Councillor. They can be anyone who simply lives in the region.
In Aurora, the Mayor is our representative on Regional Council. Newmarket is represented by both a Mayor and Regional Councillor.
Many of us living in the region don't think it is right that this powerful political position is not directly elected by citizens. That's why, almost a year ago, I tabled a private members bill – Bill 42 – that, if passed, would make the Chair of the Region of York an elected position.
I am pleased that Markham Regional Councillor Joe Li has asked Regional Council to support my private member's bill. His motion, tentatively scheduled to be debated November 19, was seconded by Whitchurch-Stouffville Mayor, Justin Altman.
A move to an elected Chair of the Region would bring York Region in line with the majority of regions across southern Ontario. Of our immediate neighbours, only Peel does not have a directly-elected Chair, although, at the urging of former Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion and Brampton's then-Mayor Fennel, the Region is undertaking a study.
Both Durham and Halton Regions have moved to direct election of their Chairs. Clearly, change is in the wind.
My bill is not an attack on York Regional Chairs, past or current. I simply believe at election time it is important that voters be able to question a candidate for Chair about their vision for the future of the Region – and to be able to vote for their candidate of choice.
Are you concerned about budget, debt, growth, public planning, the environment, or level of service? An election is a good time to put those questions directly to a Chair.
Although not elected, the Chair is a very powerful position. The Chair can cast a tie-breaking vote at Council; the Chair helps direct the creation of the budget; and the Chair has a say on what makes it to Council agendas, and what gets before Council for debate. The Chair also has a strong say in who sits on what Region Committees.
I am not saying these shouldn't be roles for the Chair of the Region – just not for a Chair who isn't directly elected by citizens.
Perhaps when the Region was newly formed in the early 1970s, when pressure from growth was virtually non-existent, appointed Chairs made sense. But today the Region is in a period of rapid growth. Over one million people call the area home, and thousands more arrive each year. By 2031 our population is expected to hit 1.5 million people. The Region's budget topped $2.7 billion in 2015 and its debt is now around $2.54 billion, and expected to hit $3.7 billion by 2020.
York Region is no longer a sleepy region, and citizens should have the right to question those vying for the top job at the Region. Some argue, as well, that an elected-Chair is more accountable throughout their term.
As an MPP, I only get to introduce one private members bill each year, so I must choose wisely. I chose this bill based on input I'd received as an Aurora councillor, and as a candidate for MPP. Bill 42 is my first bill, and I was glad to lean on the expertise offered by MPPs Dr. Helena Jaczek and Reza Moridi. Both had brought forward their own bills calling for a direct election of Regional Chair, but neither bill moved forward because elections were called.
My bill sailed through first and second reading with unanimous support from all parties and all members in the house. It is now waiting at Legislative Assembly Committee to be debated.
I have talked with a number of Mayors and Regional Councillors and find there is quiet but strong support for my bill. Those who oppose it generally fall into the "we've never done it that way, so why change now?" category.
There are legitimate concerns about how a candidate for Regional Chair would finance their election campaign. Others worry that future Chairs would be decided by the more populous southern communities.
I believe the candidate who will get elected is the one with the best vision and track record. Besides, there is no guarantee that a Chair elected from the northern end of the Region would best serve this area – one could argue Chairs are currently beholden to those regional politicians who appointed them.
Our citizens deserve the right to directly elect the powerful Chair of York Region. The winds of change are blowing … by working together we can bring real democracy to York Region.
I invite you to contact me on any issue. Please call my community office at 905-750-0019, or visit my website at www.ChrisBallardMPP.ca. I look forward to hearing from you.

Study links sulfide-producing bacteria and colon cancer in African-Americans

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- A new study reveals that African-Americans have measurable differences in the number and type of bacteria that live in the colon - and those differences are related to their higher-than-average colon cancer risk.
The study, reported in the journal Gut, looked at colonic tissue biopsies from 197 African-Americans and 132 non-Hispanic whites collected over a two-year period ending in 2012. The researchers amplified microbial DNA from the samples, then looked at the abundance of various types of microbes.
The study found that African-Americans have more sulfide-producing bacteria in their colon than non-Hispanic whites in the U.S. do. Although these microbes are a normal part of the gut ecosystem, an overabundance of sulfide in the colon can lead to inflammation and can damage DNA, said University of Illinois animal sciences professor Rex Gaskins, who led the new research with Nathan Ellis, who was at the University of Illinois at Chicago at the time of the study. Ellis is the scientific director of the Cancer Biology Research Program at the University of Arizona Cancer Center in Tucson.
"We found that African-Americans have an increased abundance of bacteria that make hydrogen sulfide, which we demonstrated more than a decade ago to be a potent genotoxin," Gaskins said.
The study also revealed that Bilophila wadsworthia, a bacterium that produces hydrogen sulfide from the amino acid taurine, was significantly more abundant in African-Americans with colon cancer than in their healthy counterparts.
"These bacteria are using nutrients associated with an animal-based diet," Gaskins said.
The relationship between B. wadsworthia abundance and colon cancer risk did not hold true for non-Hispanic whites, however.
Most cases of colorectal cancer - about 85 to 90 percent - are sporadic, rather than familial, Gaskins said. There may be a genetic element, but environmental factors like exposure to pollutants or dietary components also are required to spur the onset of cancer.
"You have to have a genotoxin to have colon cancer," Gaskins said. "And sulfide is a genotoxin."
African-Americans have significantly higher incidence of colon cancer than other Americans. In 2013, there were 33.5 colon cancer cases per 100,000 African-Americans, compared with 26.8 per 100,000 whites.
Explaining these disparities has not been easy. Native Africans have dramatically lower colon cancer rates than African-Americans, suggesting that environmental factors, including dietary habits, are a key to the problem, along with genetics.
A 2014 study on which Gaskins was a senior co-author found that switching rural South African Zulus who normally ate a low-fat, high-fiber diet to a diet with a lot of meat and animal fat led to increases in sulfide-producing bacteria in their colon. This change took less than two weeks, the researchers found.
Scientists already knew that a diet high in red meat and animal fat was associated with an increased risk of developing colon cancer, Gaskins said.
"We are now beginning to connect the dots between these dietary factors and one's risk of developing colon cancer risk," he said. "Our research adds to the evidence that the microbes that inhabit the colon are part of the equation and should not be overlooked."
Gaskins also is affiliated with the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology.
The National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society supported this research.

Find the right in home child care in Toronto for your family.
Browse home child care by experience, availability, rates and more.
Throughout my career, I have fallen in love with working with children/adolescents with various special needs. I have recently relocated to Toronto and have also fallen in love with the city. Most recently, I worked in a private in home setting with 3 children, 2 of which had special needs. I attended to their daily life skills, but also created and implemented programs based off of their individual strengths and interests to help brighten their future. I was fortunate enough to spend 5 years working with children and adolescents, prior to relocating, in a behavioral health setting. This included youth from a multitude of different backgrounds who had been diagnosed with various mental health illness and/or behavioral challenges. I was taught a multitude of lessons on patience, building trust, and individuality. I pride myself on being creative and flexible which allows me to find the perfect way to reach the youth I work with which often includes incorporating their own interests and creating/maintaining a positive relationship.
I have a full time career as an Educational Assistant in a classroom setting, supporting individuals ages 12-21 years of age with Special Needs. I am fortunate to be able to say I work my passion every day! I am currently looking to take an extra year off from work to stay at home with my son. I am seeking a position where I can care for my son and another child during the day or an occasional position to supplement my income. I am a kind, compassionate, energetic person with tons of patience. I genuinely value and enjoy time spent with children. The number one thing i would want a parent to know is that their child will be safe and secure in my care and that I am trust worthy. I believe in nurturing learning through play in a supportive environment. If you feel I may be what you are seeking in a child care provider please do not hesitate to contact me. I have CPR First Aid training, and some Early Childhood Education. I also hold certificates as a Developmental Service Worker and Personal Support Worker.
I'm a 21-year-old female grad student studying pharmacy at University of Toronto. I'll be spending this summer working at GrandRiver Hospital, and I'm hoping to babysit on the side. I cant respond to messages but you can email me. I've been babysitting and nannying since I was 11, loving every minute! I found a lovely community of families in my neighbourhood while living in Ottawa, and grew up being the main "neighbourhood sitter." I soon had to move to McGill to pursue my degree, and missed dearly the community of families I had worked with at home. When I was 16, I began working at a summer day camp with children aged 6-8, and was promoted to coordinator of the camp. My daily work involved working with children with ASD, and running games with up to 30 children. I worked with this community centre for 5 years, and found great joy in facilitating the daycamp activities. Please email me to let me know if you are interested, or need references.
My name is Susan. I am currently visiting from Germany on a work and travel visa, and staying in the west end of Toronto. Back at home I am a nurse, working in emergency a hospital near Frankfurt. I am a patient, kind-hearted and reliable woman and I love children. I have my first-aid & CPR certificate. I am 27 years old, and quite physically capable! I work well under pressure and am able to maintain a positive attitude even in difficult scenarios. I completed a social voluntary year during my education back home, working with children 6-9 years old. I was a camp counselor during the summers as well, organizing the activities for the kids program and taking care of a group of them myself. Feel free to contact me by phone or email, any time of day! I hope to speak with you soon. Thank you for your time.

Hi my name is Savana, I'm 22 years old female. I just graduated culinary school and have a passion for cooking and wellness. Im looking for a family to help out as a part time nanny, or as a casual babysitter. I grew up taking care of 2 children 0-12 months, and 1-4 year old, babysitting for them for about 6 years. I'v spent a summer coaching a minor league soccer team, and as well was a day care provider for Osler bluff ski club, during my high school education. I have recently completed my NLS, my standard first aid and CPR certification and feel extremely comfortable with providing care for children. I love to cook and read, and spend time outdoors. I'm extremely bubbly person and love playing with kids. If you need help at home and are interested please contact me and we can talk further. :) have a great day!
I am a graduate student who grew up in a fully bilingual environment (French and English). I received my babysitting certificate at 13 years old and have been looking after kids ever since. I have worked with kids of all ages and behaviour. I'm a fun, loving and patient person who knows how to find new and innovative ways to challenge and engage kids! As for my education, I went to a French school in Toronto and still speak at home.

Hi! I am a fun-loving babysitter living in downtown Toronto.
Hi. First, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Vivian. I am a lawyer from Brazil, recently married and living with my Canadian husband in downtown Toronto. We were married last year and I am in the middle of my immigration process waiting for my work permit. I am 24 years old with a younger brother that I always took care at home since I was 12 years old. I am very family oriented, patient, no smoke, and love being around kids. Second, I previously worked as babysitter in Toronto. The family really liked me and the child was 1 year old. My husband has two little cousins that I usually go to take care of and would be comfortable if you wanted to call their parents as a reference. I look forward to hearing from you.


Internet-of-things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) communications rely on a mix of reliable hardware, resilient software and cloud services. Our software and multimedia engineers can bring great value to the table when it comes to designing user applications and user interfaces. After all, the front end is what makes or breaks the user's impression and appreciation.
IoT and M2M projects come in all sizes. From a simple app that reads some sensor data to full-blown command centers that aggregate and display statistics and trends of thousands of devices across a factory or a city. These projects have in common that they need a well designed user interface that leads into a positive user experience. Because most applications have both a real-time aspect and cloud based historic data, the challenge is to interface with the user through intuitive functions, a slick graphics design and comprehensive data representations.
Depending on the scope of the project, our teams can develop the apps that communicate with the IoT/M2M devices and cloud data, and provide all required functionality, from remote control and sensor readout to data aggregation and visualization. For large scale command centers, our engineers have experience with a broad scope of interfacing techniques, including gesture based control, eye tracking, touch or AI vision.
Our one-stop-shop approach ensures a single point of contact for conceptual design, branding, software development, graphics design and hardware integration. As we have always worked for multinational companies, we have a wide experience in language adaptations and global rollout of your IoT or M2M application.
Our UX/UI teams unleash the power of innovative technology through a well designed and intuitive experience.

If you are considering having a new driveway or patio but would like an alternative to block paving, then Resin Bonded aggregates would be ideal. Resin bonding is a method we use frequently. This is when we apply gravel or aggregate with resin to either a concrete or tarmac surface to give a gravel effect finish.
Resin bonding is made up from natural stones. You can either have these plain or choose from a wide range of different colours to match the brick work you already have.
Resin Bonding can look very effective as a border around your driveway or patio. It will finish it off nicely.

TOWN, Thomas, of Town Place in Throwley, Kent.
s. and h. of Thomas atte Town (d.1403) of Throwley by Benedicta, da. and h. of John Detling alias Brampton of Detling, Kent, and Joan, da. and coh. of John Shelving of Shelving in Woodnesborough. m. Joan, da. of William Cheyne* of Eastchurch, I. of Sheppey, 3da.
References to Town, who took no part whatsoever in public life beyond his one election to Parliament, are extremely few. Following his father's death, he inherited property in the hundred of Faversham, worth £20 a year according to assessments made for the purpose of taxation in 1412, but the family's principal manor, that of Town Place, remained in the possession for their lifetimes of his stepfather, Stephen Bettenham (d.1415) of Cranbrook, and his mother, Benedicta, who died at an unknown date after 1422. (At the time he entered the Commons he had no more than a reversionary interest in the premises together with the contents of the manor-house.) Town's mother also kept control of her own inherited estates, which included a moiety of the manor of Detling and land at Staplehurst and elsewhere; indeed, there is no evidence that he himself ever took possession of them, for she seems to have survived him. Town's marriage must have brought him into contact, at least on occasion, with the well-connected Cheynes, and perhaps he was also known to his wife's uncle, John Wilcotes*, the receiver-general of the duchy of Cornwall; but if so, the records remain silent about their association.1
In July 1417 Town was among the men-at-arms mustered in the retinue of Humphrey, duke of Gloucester, for service in Henry V's army on the second invasion of France, but whether this connexion with the warden of the Cinque Ports in any way influenced his election to Parliament three years later is impossible to tell. He is last recorded alive in 1420, and it seems likely that he died shortly afterwards. By 1440 his three daughters had inherited their paternal grandmother's estates.2

Make sure you arrive at least an hour before judging starts to give yourself and your dog plenty of time.
Always park where directed by the Car Park Stewards, try and avoid parking in direct sunlight or with the sun on he back of your car.
Make sure to find where the "Dogs Exercise Area" is, keep your dog on a lead and save their energy for their work.
Have a cover available to cover your vehicle if it is hot.
Leave your dog in your car while you spend the time looking for your ring, remember to keep your dog safe if it is hot.
Make sure you have a pen, you may have been sent a Running Order, check which class and part you are in.
Ring Plans are usually near the Secretary's desk, look where your class is, remember there is likely to be more than one part as only a maximum of 60 dogs are in one part.
DO NOT tick your number off on the score sheet on the desk, this is for the judge and scoreboard steward's use.
Go and 'book in' for any other classes you have entered, make sure you note your number and the same information as above.
If you cannot find your number at ringside, go to the Secretary's desk and they will provide you with your number. DO NOT write out your own number.
Running orders take away the guesswork when you are working a class.
Remember that not every competitor comes to the show on the day so watch to see how many have booked in before you.
It is your responsibility to be ready to go into the ring when it is your time, even if you are fourth in running order if the second does not turn up you are moved to third.
Quite a few people train their dogs and may not do the full round so they may come out of the ring quicker than expected.
Make sure you know where the stay ring is and give yourself plenty of time to toilet and get your dog ready for the stay ring in good time.
You must be punctual, you will not be able to enter the ring if you are late.
Check with the stay steward that you have the correct class and part for stays, if you do the wrong stays you cannot go back and do the right ones.
Keep food and toys well away from the ring.
Before stays you will be asked by the steward for your number and breed of dog - tell them both clearly.
If you do not have a running order you can choose when to work.
There may be a sheet on the desk where you can add your number to show when you want to work, most competitors put their name down with the scoreboard steward.
Make sure you have time to go and get your dog if you need to.
Keep watching how many competitors are left to work your class - you cannot keep the judge waiting when you are the only competitor left to work.
If you decide not to work or are going to leave the show early make sure you tell the scoreboard steward so you can be crossed off the list, if there is no scoreboard steward you can write 'withdrawn - thank you' alongside your number and dog's name on the booking sheet. This is common courtesy, but particularly important if you have done stays as a judge will normally wait for someone who has done stays.


On Monday next, January 6, thousands of women across Ireland will gather to celebrate Nollaig na mBan or Womens Christmas.
All over Ireland, January 6 marks the end of the Christmas season – it is the day on which the fairy lights, the Christmas tree, the decorations and the Christmas cards are taken down and put away for another year. It is considered bad luck if decorations remain displayed after this date! January 6 has many titles – Epiphany, Little Christmas, 12th Night, Women's Christmas, Women's Little Christmas, and Nollaig na mBan. Such an important day to have 6 different names!
In Ireland, 'Little Christmas' is one of the traditional names for January 6, the feast of the Epiphany. Epiphany is a Christian celebration of the day on which the Magi arrived with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to honour the new-born baby Jesus, the day on which Jesus is revealed to the gentiles. Epiphany is one of the oldest Christian holy days that originated in the Eastern Church and was adopted by the Western church in the 4th century. 'Little Christmas' is so-called because under the Julian Calendar, Christmas day celebrations were held in January, whereas under the Gregorian calendar, Christmas day falls on December 25.
Twelfth Night, which coincides with Epiphany has been celebrated as the end of the Christmas season for centuries. In the 18th and 19th Centuries, Twelfth Night was one of the most important days in the Christian calendar. Twelfth Night parties were common where participants enjoyed food and drink and games. A special Twelfth cake, the forerunner of today's Christmas cake, was the centrepiece of the party, with a slice offered to all members of the household, above and below stairs. In 1756, The Gentleman's Magazine reported that: the king, and his entourage" went to the Chapel Royal at St James' and offered gold, myrrh and frankincense" on Twelfth Night.
21 years ago I found myself in County Kerry on January 6. I was astonished to see hotels crowded with women – and no men to be seen! On enquiring, I was informed that they were celebrating 'Women's Christmas' or 'Nollaig na mBan' in Irish. This has been a long-standing tradition in Counties Kerry and Cork, when women celebrate the end of the Christmas season, the decorations are down, the long season of preparation and cooking is over and the women folk have a celebratory meal. It is also celebrated in Newfoundland which has a strong affinity with Ireland and in some states of the United States of America where the tradition was kept alive by Irish immigrants.
The fascinating thing about this tradition is that, rather than dying out like so many other traditions, its popularity has begun to grow and it is now being celebrated across the country. Women in Dublin organize lunches for their women friends, Limerick women are meeting in their own homes for lovely dinners, Galway women are having poetry recitals, Sligo women are coming together to enjoy female company – women only 'get-togethers' are being organized all over the place! Long may it continue to grow and grow!

Ralph Lauren just transformed its iconic Madison Ave. boutique into a darling replica of Ralph's Coffee shop for the Spring/Summer 2019 runway show. There were plenty of familiar faces in the front row, among them Karlie Kloss, Camilla Belle, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in a suede jumpsuit. Even though she wasn't on the catwalk this time, the model still stole the show.
Leave it to this classic American designer to kick off New York Fashion Week right with a creative take on the traditional fashion show concept. On Tues., the brand invited its celebrity devotees to sip their morning lattés at its Madison Ave. location while watching the Spring/Summer 2019 fashion show. The boutique was temporarily converted into a model of the nostalgic Ralph's Coffee shop that resides on 5th Ave.
Apron-clad waiters kept the caffeine flowing while the biggest names in fashion flooded in to get a glimpse of the designer's latest looks. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, a longtime fan of the brand, wore the dreamiest brown suede jumpsuit that could potentially be part of an upcoming collection itself. The long-sleeved number features an asymmetric wrap front, a polished collar, and cinching at the waist that descended into pleated, straight-legged pants.
While it's not quite on the market yet, it does bear a striking resemblance to Ralph Lauren Collection's baby-blue Judson jumpsuit that's made of wool.
Huntington-Whiteley's jumpsuit had a sort of '70s look to it that the model balanced out with super-modern accessories. She paired the matte one piece with futuristic sunglasses, a chunky gold necklace, a white envelope clutch, and strappy sandal heels.
This all-in-one outfit is the perfect piece for cold weather. It's an easy fix for weekend dressing and a sleek look for the office just the same. So, if the model's latest ensemble has propelled you into a suede obsession, then snag yourself a similar jumpsuit, ahead.
If you can't have Huntington-Whiteley's chic jumpsuit, this button-front number is the next best thing. The olive-green suede one piece has rolled, short sleeves, a loose fit, and a utilitarian feel.
Go full '70s with this zip-up boilersuit. It's cinched with an elastic band at the waist to maintain shape and its flared pants are so on-trend.
Though cut in a silkier fabric than Rosie's, this military-inspired jumpsuit is just as easy to style.
The price tag on this taupe-colored jumpsuit will make it much easier for you to commit. A single-item outfit like this makes off-duty dressing look so easy.

Persuasion, Lap Dancing, The Secret To Women and Economics
Each night hundreds of thousands of exotic dancers across the world perform for men in return for compensation.
Some nights those women get paid a lot (a good day), some nights they get paid very little (cheap jerks?).
Why is it that some nights men pay less and other nights, they pay more?
Same women, same exotic dance, same everything…except one thing…
…the "time of the month".
…and I don't mean the beginning of the month, the end of the month, near pay day…I mean HER time of the month.
It turns out that a whole lot more rides on the m- cycle of women than I ever would have speculated.
Research to date had shown clearly that women are very likely to stray during the days she ovulates and that women are more likely to remain faithful to their "mate" at THAT time of the month. No big surprise on either aspect.
Enter Lap Dancing…
I've had the occasion to run into a few exotic dancers over the years. Most are putting themselves through college or making up for the income of a husband who hit the road when the baby was born. Dancers are interesting people to talk to. They are probably more astute than most CEO's and "get" influence better than anyone you'll ever talk to. And they make money.
The average American goes to work and earns about $40,000 per year. $800 per week. The average female dancing American goes to work and earns significantly more…
They know secrets about you that no other human being knows. They understand human behavior like no scientist and they know how to persuade when the world's best negotiators are impotent.
I've not talked with that many dancers but I have had a few interesting conversations over the last million or so years.
One girl was a med student.
"On a good night a thousand is reasonable," not bad for dancing, though the women will tell you that it's hard on their feet, they get propositioned for marriage nightly and have to put up with stalking behavior…and face it…they have to put up with men, which is no picnic anywhere on this planet…
Comes with the territory, is what she told me.
But what determines whether that woman will have a "good night" or a "bad night?"
Evolutionary Psychology and the Economics of Women
One of my favorite scientists and authors is Dr. Geoffrey Miller. I read everything he writes because he's so dang smart and I always learn a lot from this guy.
Miller is a leading evolutionary psychologist, which means he's as fascinated by sex, sex differences, human behavior, reality and the "why we do stuff" as I am. Scientists aren't politically correct.
So here's the study that this self-sacrificing professor put together earlier this year….
1) Two month period. "Researchers" collected data covering 5,300 lap dances. (I never thought of this when I was working on my degree…I am SUCH an idiot….)
2) One of the questions that the women involved answered online each day was where they were in their cycle. There's all kinds of technical terms like luteal and oestrus….forget that. She's ovulating, she's post ovulation, she's at that time of the month or she's pre-ovulating. Those are the official terms for this article….
First results we learn are that women with normal cycles (they aren't taking birth control pills) earn the most, about $70 per hour when ovulating (fertile), compared with $35 per hour for those who are at THAT time of the month. (Double that in a real city located in most other parts of the country.)
So you say, "yeah, they are probably better looking which is why they take the pill."
The women don't go home with the men they dance for. That's verboten. They aren't prostitutes (that comes through loud and clear in conversation). They don't have sex with clients. You want to disagree with these women, YOU go talk to them. They are dancers. It's a job. They work hard. They go home and study.
Then you say, "That's ALL they make?"
I forgot to tell you this is NEW MEXICO. This is not L.A., Vegas, New York, Atlanta. This is Albuquerque.
Ovulation Affects a Dancer's Earnings
Women who took birth control pills earned A LOT LESS than those who didn't. Their earnings didn't "peak" during ovulation where the spike was enormous for those not on the pill.
So, obviously men can tell…somehow…that a woman is ovulating or not.
Scent?
Movement?
Nonverbals?
Certainly the men aren't THINKING about ANY of this stuff…consciously…and are clueless that the amount of money they invest is being reported to the world in Coffee with Kevin Hogan…
For millions of years men have thought it was a mystery to figure out when women ovulate (can get pregnant).
But it's no secret at all. I'm coming back to this in a minute…back to the research…
The women work 5-hour shifts and average about 18 lap dances in a night, each about 3 minutes. In some clubs, I hear, women will find men that they like, men they think have money, men they think will behave, and persuade them to engage in numerous lap dances at a price that is 20 – 40 times the price of one lap dance. (A fascinating price to pay for the illusion of privacy, status, feeling important/special, being selected….and all that is for another day too….)
Five hours. And the money they earn, of course, is 100% "tips." In fact, the women pay the establishment they dance at rent each night. They are truly independent contractors with business cards and the whole thing….
In New Mexico, the girls average about $14 per lap dance according to the research. I've been told, that in other parts of the country, the minimum for a lap dance is $30 and it's not negotiable.
Back to New Mexico…
The difference between (ovulating) $70 per hour and (THAT time of the month) $35 is huge. (Periods in between run about $50 per hour of income on average)
Something in the Way She Moves…
Evolutionary psychologist Karl Grammer of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Urban Ethology in Vienna says the result fits with his findings that it's possible to detect ovulation through the effect of raised levels of estrogens on the way women walk and dance. "It is highly possible that estrogen modulates motion abilities," says Grammer, in which case "it seems to be most likely that body motion–and not pheromones–is the information carrier."
…something in the way she moves….maybe George Harrison was right…nah….
This is the first evidence that oestrus, and its influence on attractiveness, has "a real effect on women's earnings", says Miller.
Subconscious Signals Women Send
And between you and me…you don't really hallucinate that this all turns "off" in other environments… Women are sending signals that they are fertile…or not… The question is WHAT signals?
Conversation? Nonverbals? How they walk, move?
Could it be about the men? If men detect which time of the month it is….
Even on non-fertile days lap dancers with natural menstrual cycles still earned reasonable tips, reinforcing the idea that men are clearly paying for the lap-dancing experience rather than for any perceived opportunity to procreate.
Previous research has shown that women's faces, scent and clothing become more attractive in oestrus," Miller notes. For example, earlier this year, Martie Haselton at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that women were judged to dress more attractively during their fertile periods, although the correlation was slight. Other studies show women become more confident during oestrus, says Thornhill. In the context of lap dancing, that may subtly change their behaviour and make them more appealing to clients.
Other studies have shown women become more confident, which could make them more appealing when lap dancing.
Miller links the wage fluctuations to changes in body odor, waist-to-hip ratio, and facial features. Despite operating at the upper limits of flirtatiousness already, he says there may also be subtle shifts in their behavior-"how they talk and move when enticing a customer to buy a dance, and how they perform the dance itself."
Women on the pill averaged $37 (and had no performance peak) versus $53 for women off-pill. The contraceptive produces hormonal cues indicating early pregnancy, not an enticing target for a would-be suitor. Birth control could lead to many tens of thousands of dollars lost every year.
So let's get to the real hard data.
When Women Make and Do Not Make Money
Women on the Pill
Women on the pill make the most money on days 18-21 of their cycle. $250 per shift They make the least on 1-3 and 27-30. About $160 per shift.
Women Not on the Pill
Women not on the pill make the most money on day 12, which is a huge peak right near $400 per shift, but they make significant tips on days 8-15, $350 per shift, and again a lesser spike, but still very profitable days 22-24, $300 per shift. Worst days 2,3,28, $160 per shift average.
(Note: Women without an altered cycle will typically ovulate anywhere during days 12-18, day 14 being most common for a woman with a 28 day cycle. Ovulation occurs 14 days before the next period begins.)
These numbers aren't just "statistically significant." Where a $10 difference is huge. These numbers show a crystal clear picture of reality that seems politically incorrect to talk about.
"Proof" of Subconscious Awareness
Miller calls his study the first real-world economic evidence that men are subconsciously sensitive to the female cycle. Dancers appear more attractive to club patrons just before ovulation because they "signal" or "leak" signs of their peak fertility, Miller writes. The more attractive a woman is perceived to be, the better chance she has of enticing her client into a lap dance, and then another, and then another.
Proving the same point in reverse, dancers taking birth control pills showed no considerable increase in tips during estrus. This presumably is because contraceptive pills mimic the effects of pregnancy and minimize the hormonal fluctuations that seem to woo men looking for an able mate, or at least a lap dance.
What do I THINK?
I think that like any good scientist, this incredibly important discovery warrants numerous studies outside of New Mexico. …and in the interest of science…I'll be the first to step up to the plate to sacrifice my time…
What's the best way to detect unconscious body signals?

This report identifies the possible impact of increased electrification of road transportation and domestic heating and cooking on the energy system (electricity and gas), as well as on CO2 emissions and on GDP. It is based on a set of scenarios for 2050 on the implications of a possible gradual electrification in five European countries: Austria (AT), Belgium (BE), France (FR), Germany (DE) and the Netherlands (NL).
Three scenarios are being considered: the first where electrification remains limited, the second where the residential and road transport sectors are virtually fully electrified by 2050, and a third intermediate path.
the gradual introduction of renewable gases has not been fully taken into account.
Finally, it is worthwhile reminding readers that scenarios are neither forecasts, nor recommendations for specific policy options. They shed light on challenges and choices, in this case those to be respectively addressed and made by policymakers and the energy sector to manage in the most efficient way the impact of possible electrification paths.
With its Energy Union Strategy, the European Commission set forth a plan for making the EU's energy supply more secure, affordable and sustainable. Diversification of energy sources is one of the essential dimensions of the strategy along with decarbonisation. With these energy policy goals comes the transformation of the European power market and an expected increase in electricity demand.
This study derives the consequences that electrification of heating and transport can have for the electricity and gas sectors, the CO2 emissions associated with the residential, transport and electricity sectors and the overall social costs. The policy commitments, if any, of the corresponding governments regarding the deployment of renewable generation of electricity (biomass, wind and solar) and the phasing-out of fossil fuel and nuclear sources of power production are taken into account.
Increasing electrification in the transport and heating sectors reduces the consumption of fossil fuels in these sectors but because the demand for power increases significantly, the use of gas as energy resource of last resort gains weight in the generation mix. Specifically, the demand for gas from the residential sector decreases as electrification progresses but, because of the planned phasing-out of coal and nuclear generation and limited increase of renewables, gas demand rises in the power market. The net effect depends on the countries' specific policies and current energy mix, with demand for gas increasing in BE, FR and DE, remaining constant in AT and slightly decreasing in NL.
As more renewable sources of generation (biomass, wind, solar) are progressively deployed in the market, the electricity supply becomes more weather dependent and thus more volatile so that a substantial amount of gas-fired power plant capacity will be necessary for reliability of supply. In BE, FR, DE and NL this capacity should be around 3 to 4 times the current capacity by 2050, while in AT a small increase would be sufficient.
The current plans of the countries' governments regarding the expansion of renewable generation capacity, coupled with a full electrification scenario, result in very small amounts of renewable electricity being available to use for power-to-gas. From now to 2050, only under expectional weather conditions will an oversupply of electricity occur.
As both electricity and gas provision rely heavily on the use of transmission and distribution networks, an increase in power generation and/or gas consumption requires a possibly costly resizing of the networks. In 2050, in a full electrification scenario, the electricity grid capacity would have to increase in BE by 70%, in NL by 50%, in AT by 34%, in FR by 35% and in DE by 37%. Except for NL and possibly BE, the capacity of the gas networks will have to be extended.
Electrification of the residential and road transport sectors will shift CO2 emissions from these sectors to the power sector, with an increased price on carbon as a result. The net effect depends on the technology mix for power generation and is therefore country specific. In 2050, with a full electrification scenario, CO2 emissions from the residential, road transport and electricity sectors together in BE would decrease only by 11% relative to the corresponding 1990 levels, in AT by 62%, in DE by 70%, in FR by 48%, and in NL by 40%.
The model results show that the social costs of a full electrification path towards 2050 vary significantly, ranging from 0.5% of GDP in FR to close to 7% of GDP in NL, with intermediate rates for AT (2%), DE (4%) and BE (4.5%). The cost per ton of CO2 reduction would be €250 for NL, €146 for BE, €142 for DE, €78 for FR and €54 for AT.

Please note that this Saturday my studio will be unfortunatley closed as I'm showing in Hereford again & mum is busy!
Really lovely to meet you at the Hereford art market today :D your stand looked lovely. I hope you had a very successful day!


I don't think advertisement has any place on the site.
Have an image of comfort from my personal collection.
There is nothing wrong with Reddit.
I really appreciate the hyperlinks. I actually wound up here when I decided to revisit long-dead desuchan and they had links to lainchan & co. Without the links I would have never discovered this group of comfy low-traffic communities.
As long as common sense is exercised when linking, just like >>310 says, it's fine. The board they mentioned is indeed made for no more than 20 or 30 users, and linking it was a mistake. But there are other places like sushichan where we won't cause trouble.
Besides, if none of the small communities were ever linked, they would eventually die out.
I think the thread is perfectly acceptable.
That's oddly specific, but I too always thought it should be changed. But at the same time, I'm used to it now.
Whatever I'll just change it once in a while like the wildcard board.
Works for me, if you're willing to go the extra length. Thanks.
Try making a new profile to make sure it's not due to some change in your IC.
There's another referrer option that you might have to set to true before it works.
Thanks for the advice, but it didn't help either. My settings are the same as in FF. I tried posting with lynx, but there my posts seem automated.
I've been slipping over this thread now for months somehow.
I'm pretty sure the referer thing is an issue with Vichan itself, but there may be a setting I haven't noticed.
Also, it sounds like people do want me to change the song so I'll try to figure something out since I guess it's tradition.
Unfortunately I can't find any option that would disable the referer stuff. I don't know what the other sites did.
I'm trying to come up with a really good song to put up front but I forgot about it for a while.
Edit: I swapped the song.
Depends on the shitposters, if the small contingency on [s4s] goes to /hell/ then it would be beneficial on establishing more traffic to that board, making boards feel more like their own home boards rather then a section to post something in. Of course that would only work if every other board had more traffic.
As >>428 suggested I do not want to actively invite uncomfy discussion to Sushigirl. There are other chans.
Abr 10 13:12:08 <cool internet guy> <cool internet guy> <cool internet guy> is that what you are talking about ?
Abr 10 13:12:17 <cool internet guy> <cool internet guy> does that answer your question ?
Still down for me, but I'm glad to see it's being taken care of.
This is what I use. It works pretty well.
I put an options link in the top right corner of the page.
I would recommend uninstalling it especially if you use chrome, opera or safari since your data will be harvested.
None, this is the original thread about deletions. Someone just bumped it with talk of something else.
sorry if this is a bit off topic but outside of moderation care people volunteer to do sysadmin work or is their none to do.
Yes hello this is dog.
We don't currently need any more moderation or tech help.
This thread is now bumplocked.
We should make a rule declaring that good content must be posted.
This thread is not comfy.
For the sake of a little perspective, these are all the posts for the last two days. Bans aren't really for the best right now since we're such a small community. Being small is a good thing though! It's a careful balance, but we can always talk to Seisatsu about what should be moved. He may be a moderator, but he's still a roll just like us, and we all share the responsibility of encouraging good posts.
Then just post something comfy sushi!
I dont think this is the right thread for this, but I didnt see anything else that fit. Do you think its time for a new wildcard? /stem/ has been ded for a while now. We could start a poll for the next topic.
Check out Imzy for another comfortable site.
If it were up to me, if somebody starts a thread that belongs on /hell/ on a board that isn't hell, they should be banned on sight.
The ban shouldn't last longer then a day or two, because anything longer would probably drive people away.
