night mayor is a 2009 short film by guy maddin , about a fictional inventor in winnipeg who uses the aurora borealis to broadcast images of canada from coast to coast in 1939 , until the canadian government shuts down his illegal project .

the national film board of canada ( nfb ) , which was founded in 1939 , commissioned maddin to create a film for its 70th anniversary .

in making night mayor , maddin was inspired by his experience researching the nfb 's film archives for his 2007 film , my winnipeg , stating : “ i lost myself for hours , days even , among those dreamy images , constantly finding shots and sequences i ’d have been very proud to have created myself . so i had to content myself with including them in this new film board project , and hopefully magicking together a framework that was worthy of them . ” the film 's main character uses a fictional device called the " telemelodium " to broadcast his images , which is based on the telharmonium , an early electronic musical instrument .

night mayor was produced by the nfb in winnipeg and received the best experimental short award at the 2010 south by southwest festival .

it premiered at the toronto international film festival .

night mayor

a prominent nightlife operator is campaigning to be the city ' s new
night mayor .
the night mayor helps us understand the issues better , from all sides . it makes a real difference in amsterdam
the night mayor summit is a two - day event where night mayors , civil servants , entrepreneurs , the creative industries and research institutions connect with each other . during the entire conference there are five main themes : night time economy , public health & politics , redefining urban spaces , mobility en road to night mayor .
the output of the event will the that the participants have an clear view on how to install the role of the night mayor in their city and have a bag full of idea’s on which the newly installed night mayor could work on .

night mayor
job . ( phoebe de vito )
talking to these hosts is mirik milan , the first nachtburgemeester – or night mayor – of amsterdam . his job is a tricky one : nurturing the dutch city’s ever - expanding night economy , while satisfying residents and public officials who would sometimes rather it didn’t exist .
the idea for night mayor — pitched to the city council by councilman rafael espinal , who represents parts of bushwick and east new york — comes from european cities like amsterdam , london and paris .
it’s the role of the night mayor to bridge this gap . the incumbent’s job is to manage and improve relations between night businesses , residents , and city hall . milan and his team have proved so successful in amsterdam that the concept has taken off internationally . paris , toulouse , and zurich now all have night mayors , while london and berlin are considering creating their own . within the netherlands two other cities , groningen and nijmegen , also have their own professional nocturnal managers , part of a total of 15 dutch municipalities that have some form of night mayor role .
the night as a product is more and more important for the profiling and image of cities and areas . both in the social economic and cultural area day and night are getting more intertwined .

this april , all these forces are coming together , when amsterdam hosts the world’s first ever night mayor’s summit . open to any city that’s interested in the role—it comes the day after an international conference for , uh , regular mayors—the event looks forward to a day when night mayors could one day become standard in all major cities .
for the problematic rembrandtplein , where up to 300 violent incidents were being reported every year , the night mayor and amsterdam city hall came up with a three - year pilot project inspired by the altogether more relaxed atmosphere of a music festival .
the idea quickly began spreading to other european cities . paris and toulouse , france , as well as zurich , switzerland , each created their own night mayor positions . last year , cali , colombia , became the first latin american city to get one .
the result is not just less disturbance , but a resurgence for amsterdam’s reputation as a nightlife capital . the night mayor isn’t necessarily all about getting people to party longer and louder , however . in rembrandtplein , a bar - filled square in central amsterdam , the mayor’s office has set up a project to manage and reduce street noise by introducing rules for behavior and a ( very ) soft enforcement service—dubbed “square hosts . ”
already , the night mayor’s office has done some good in amsterdam , often using arguments that might not occur to a standard elected official . for instance , milan has pointed out that by extending hours of business , a city can actually reduce rather than increase disturbance .
the hope with these initiatives is that they start with a night mayor focused on culture and then mature to tackle bigger issues like workers rights , transport , waste management and planning — all the necessary infrastructural elements that make working or living in a city after dark accessible .
mcnamee also says that he ' s headed to europe in september to meet with amy lamé , who holds a similar position in london ; clément léon r , who has the gig in paris , and mirik milan , who is the
night mayor
in amsterdam .
“the role of the director of night life will be to create a plan for cities and establishments so that they may coexist and to actively develop the cultural and monetary growth night life contributes to new york city , ” mr . espinal said .

the office of the
night mayor
— a preferable title , in our opinion , though we ' d also accept night czar , party mayor , or the d . o . n . — is to act as a liaison between city hall and new york ' s $ 10 billion nightlife industry , and to help resolve problems between venues and neighboring residents . the other purpose of this office , according to councilmember rafael espinal , will be to serve on behalf of the city’s diy venues , and to fight back against the archaic rules and arbitrary enforcement that threaten their survival .
your mayor , city council and city manager has just as much of an impact on your health as your doctor ,
say the authors of a new report .
the office of nightlife will have an estimated annual budget of $ 407 , 000 , including $ 37 , 000 for office space , supplies and computers , as well as $ 370 , 000 to pay the night mayor and an assistant director of the office , according to a financial impact statement .
the title of night mayor may sound grand , but the office itself doesn’t hold any executive power . milan is really the head of a small advisory ngo , “elected” by a combination of online votes from the public , attendees of a music festival , and a jury of five experts . equally funded by the city and night businesses , milan and night mayors like him are really go - betweens who represent nightlife to the city and its residents , and vice versa—self - defined “rebels in suits” who are nonetheless able to talk to officials on their own terms .
michele acuto , a professor of urban theory at university college london , said that night mayors are more than a ceremonial role . “the concept of a nighttime economy is longer lived than the recent trend of night mayors , ” he said . “that’s where the real value lies . it’s a sign by a city like new york or london that it is thinking strategically about the night . ”

pittsburgh got its first “nighttime economy coordinator” three years ago , around the time milan started in amsterdam . orlando fla . , recently created a “bar czar” position . fort lauderdale , fla . , apportioned $ 1 . 4 million this year for a nighttime management team . and iowa city appointed its first night mayor in april .
if we have a problem at night the first thing policymakers will often do is say : ‘we can ' t do it anymore . ’
the city council approved mr . espinal’s bill on august 24 to establish an office of nightlife and a 12 - member appointed nightlife advisory board . the city’s mayor , bill de blasio , will appoint someone within 60 days to head up the department , which will liaise between the city’s night life industry , its residents and government , according to the bill .
it ' s going to be even better in a place as cool as new york city ,
the mayor said , as a few dozen costumed guests , and one large peacock , filed into an adjacent room for a bordello - themed poetry night .
bottom line is this will help our neighborhoods , and help our nightlife community feel supported .
as amsterdam’s first
night mayor ,
he ' s been managing the after - hours economy of the netherlands capital since 2014 . his job seems straightforward and imminently practical - - milan manages relationships in an effort to minimize quality - of - life complaints from residents and boost nighttime business - - yet no one else on the european continent was doing it .
to solve this problem , the night mayor suggested not less , but more time for people to go clubbing . he has helped push through the granting of 10 24 - hour licenses for nightclubs . crucially , all of them were located not in the dense city center but in thinly populated districts around amsterdam’s outer ring road . the result was a marked reduction in street noise .
this pragmatic and classically dutch notion is now being copied across europe : toulouse , zurich , paris as well as several other dutch cities have night mayors too .
“the idea , ” milan says , “was to take some of the night - time pressure off the inner city , and to bring something new to the near suburbs . ” that part has worked : de school has sold out every weekend since it opened , while its weekday and night activities are also filling fast .
we ' ve reached out to the day mayor to see how he is planning to work alongside his nightlife counterpart , who he plans on appointing , and whether he’ll continue to enforce the reviled cabaret law — we’ll update accordingly .
“the night is always treated differently to the day , ” he said . “when there is a problem at night , the first reaction of city officials or police commissioners is to stop it . instead what you would do in the day is bring all the stakeholders together and try to at least make the situation a bit better . ”
addressing one hundred or so venue owners , promoters , party advocates and artists , including marky ramone , the mayor lamented the city ' s past harassment of nightlife , and promised that the new office would
wield tremendous power .
the most established example that new york will look to is amsterdam’s “nachtburgemeester , ” a position established in 2003 when the dutch capital’s night life was in decline . mirik milan , 36 and a former nightclub promoter , was elected in 2012 and tasked with sustaining amsterdam’s night life while still appeasing local residents . mr . milan said one of his biggest hurdles has been convincing city officials that night life is about more than just partying . even in the famously open - minded netherlands , this has been a challenge .
in june , a spokeswoman for the mayor ' s office of media and entertainment announced that the search for a nightlife ambassador was underway and that the appointee would serve as a liaison between city officials and the booming bar and club scene .
“night mayors , ” as they are commonly known , are popular in europe , where these figures are chiefly concerned with how people can have a good time after dark in their cities . london , paris and zurich all have them — and now the initiative is making its way to new york , where night life is in great need of attention .
“that’s also really driving this increased interest in night managers , ” peters says . “how do you develop and keep the creative and cultural experiences that people want in a city ? ”
as milan explains , this helps refine the reactions of officials whose experience of the city after dark is limited or buried in their past . “we ' re a small ngo , so we don ' t have any power , but we try to influence people—to be that bridge between all the parties , ” he says . “when it comes to night culture , there ' s always a lot of misunderstanding . the night is always treated differently to the day . if we have a problem at night the first thing policymakers will often do is say : ‘we can ' t do it anymore . ’ they decide to ban things and end up killing an industry . our role is to explain why the night is so important . ”
do big cities need a “chinatown for night culture” ? this is a concept currently being explored in amsterdam by former club promoter mirik milan . by creating special districts for after - dark businesses , the 35 - year - old milan suggests , cities like his hometown could balance many local desires for a lively night life with the wishes of others for peace and quiet .
in london , mayor sadiq khan appointed american - born british performer and comedian amy lamé as the city’s first “night czar” in november 2016 . much of lamé’s work so far has been around night life entertainment , which is unsurprising given her 22 years of experience in the sector . she backed campaigns to protect a number of l . g . b . t . venues from closure , including the royal vauxhall tavern in south london and molly moggs in soho . research from university college london found that in the last ten years , london lost 58 percent of what the report defines as l . g . b . t . venues .
as envisioned by councilmember rafael espinal , the night mayor is meant to act as a liaison between city hall and new york ' s $ 10 billion nightlife industry , while also serving on behalf of the city ' s remaining diy venues ( espinal specifically cites shea stadium ' s closing as the inspiration for his bill ) . in recent years , at least 30 cities across the world have established similar positions , all of them based off amsterdam ' s widely praised nachtburgemeester .
“cities increasingly want to be 24 - hour , ” van der laan says . “in some respects many already are , though few really cater for it . but cities also have to stay nice places for the people who work , live and sleep in them . it’s not always an easy balance to strike . the night mayor helps us understand the issues better , from all sides , and come up with innovative solutions – like 24 - hour licences . everyone benefits . it makes a real difference in amsterdam . ”
the bill will also establish a nightlife advisory board comprised of 12 relevant stakeholders , ranging from industry service workers to zoning experts . eight of those board members will be appointed by the city council speaker , four will be appointed by the mayor , and they ' ll each serve a two - year term .
the instinct of city authorities everywhere when residents complain , milan says , is to “bring in a curfew , tighten regulations , shut places down , ban stuff . it’s understandable : how can you make good laws if you’re in city hall , with no real clue of what’s happening out there in the night - time ? the only way is for the night economy , city hall and residents to figure out , together , how to make it work” .
assuming a city council vote goes as it’s expected , new yorkers will soon be getting their own city hall advocate for sensible nightlife policies . a bill poised to pass the council later this afternoon would give mayor de blasio two months to appoint a director of nightlife , who will oversee the newly - established office of nightlife .
opening an exhibition including twin portraits of himself and milan in a canalside art gallery earlier in the day , amsterdam’s altogether more august day mayor , eberhard van der laan , was equally enthusiastic . the nachtburgemeester , he says , was about smoothing problems , finding solutions , and helping an increasingly important part of the city’s economy grow .
amsterdam is the front runner in innovating the night and values sharing the knowledge and experiences regarding nightly matters with other cities . topics such as creative industry , art and culture , diversity , safety , human health and mobility will be discussed .
[ nightlife ] is part of the magic of new york city ,
said mayor bill de blasio , flanked by former ramones drummer marky ramone and jazz double - bassist ron carter , at the wyckoff avenue venue .
where the culture happens is essential . without the venues , the culture simply can ' t exist .
we had the mayor three feet from [ councilmember ] espinal while he shouted out shea stadium and 285 kent and death by audio — places that had to operate in an underground way because of the city ' s regulations ,
patrick added .
it doesn ' t change everything , but it ' s a good first step .
america ' s first night mayor is the manifestation of a growing nightlife advocacy movement , largely driven by recent efforts to get rid of nyc ' s reviled cabaret law . though de blasio didn ' t mention it tuesday , a mayoral advisor threw city hall ' s support behind the repeal effort during a city council hearing last week , on the condition that certain security requirements be met . between january of 2016 and april of 2017 , 36 city bars and restaurants forked over around $ 40 , 000 in fines to the state for allowing patrons to dance without a license , according to dnainfo .
as cities become increasingly 24 - hour and night - time economies grow in scale – the dutch dance industry alone , focused on amsterdam , is worth €600m ( £470m ) a year ( pdf ) and employs 13 , 000 people full - and part - time – it is a job that needs doing . “late - night culture is a massive motor for cities’ economic wellbeing , ” says milan , who has been invited as far afield as tokyo and rio de janeiro to talk about the amsterdam approach .
in espinal ' s vision , america ' s first
night mayor
would help promote the interests of the mixed - use , and sometimes less - than - legal , show space .
my main motivation to push for this office is to make sure that the diy venues and the smaller venues that actually provide a hub for artists and musicians to come together and express their art are able to survive ,
espinal said in may . he noted that the shuttering of shea stadium — a beloved bushwick venue that folded in june due to increasing pressure from local authorities — was a perfect example of where the position could prove useful .
amsterdam’s 24 - hour venues may eventually usher in whole 24 - hour districts “like a chinatown for night culture , where businesses can open and close when they like , ” milan says . after 9pm in amsterdam there is nowhere to have a proper , sit - down meal .
the idea might sound ambitious , but then forward - thinking about amsterdam after dark is actually milan’s job : he’s the dutch capital’s “night mayor . ” this innovative office , unique to amsterdam when created in 2014 ( as the development of a project itself begun in 2003 ) , has helped to clear up a blind spot that many cities face . too often , public officials view their city’s nighttime existence with suspicion—as a sinister doppelgänger of its daytime form but with added sex and crime , sleep - spoiling noise , and sidewalks slicked with vomit . even liberal politicians can have little experience with this twilight zone , given that they’re often tucked up in bed by 10 p . m .
“late - night people are typically young , educated , creative , entrepreneurial – people you want in your city , and who work in the creative industries and startups you also want . if places like berlin have flourished , it’s not just because of low rents . it’s because they’re nightlife capitals . ”
ideas for easing city tensions between day and night in amsterdam – whose nightlife is one of the major attractions for the 5 . 2 million tourists who visited in 2014 , more than double the number in 2000 – go further than soothing residents around the city’s main nightlife hotspots of rembrandtplein and nearby leidseplein .
milan’s defense of the night is one worth listening to . the resurgence of cities such as berlin may be due in part to lower rents , but without its busy night scene , few would have expressed much interest in the city in the first place . indeed , one key argument put forward for the new 24 - hour club licenses was the regenerative effect they could have on far - flung neighborhoods . given milan’s attempts to influence amsterdam’s city hall , it’s perhaps wise that he tots up nightlife’s benefits in primarily economic terms like these—terms that other cities with strict curfews and nocturnal regulations would do well to listen to .
“i don’t want to have an occupancy issue at a bar and not have anyone able to come out until the following night when there’s no issue ,
says city manager lee r . feldman .
we need to have someone available at 1 in the morning to address the issue on the spot . ”
“if you don’t turn the lights on and force everyone to leave a club at 5am , some will leave at 3 , and some at 8 , ” says milan . “the night can end more naturally . it’s better for the area , nuisance - wise , and for the club , business - wise . ”
what happens when you bring a bunch of people into the city center ? a lot of them want to go out at night , and other people want to sleep ,
says jim peters , president of the responsible hospitality institute ( rhi ) , who has consulted with dozens of cities interested in the idea .
the after - hours heart of a city famed around the world for night - time excess , this 17th - century square was , until recently , often overrun . noise , violence , vomit and worse ; nocturnal nuisance ugly enough for an angry , sleep - deprived neighbourhood to speak bitterly of a “4am war zone” .
i think there ' s a necessity for the city , on an institutional level , to endorse the fact that nightlife is important , even if that endorsement may be by definition lip service ,
todd patrick , owner of the oft - raided market hotel , told gothamist .
the reality is this is a city with a lot of moving parts in the way regulation works , so for folks that are carrying out enforcement to see the mayor supporting us has real consequences .
new york city is about to get a new kind of don , a title once reserved for the city’s crime bosses . in a move that follows in the footsteps of a clutch of european cities , new york is to appoint a director of night life , or a don — an ambassador tasked with giving after - dark activities a more congenial reputation .
the raw figures go someway to justify the need for a night czar : london’s nighttime economy is worth an estimated £26 billion ( $ 34 billion ) . “we ignore this at our peril , ” ms . lamé said . “we are facing an uncertain future with brexit , and we have an opportunity to really craft and create a dynamic , balanced 24 - hour london . ”
as we first reported in may , the bill is modeled after amsterdam ' s nachtburgemeester , a former party promoter whose appointment has had “transformative” results , according to the economist . since then , similar
night mayors
have found success in berlin , zurich , paris , and london , each with varying mandates based on the particular needs of the city ' s after - hours businesses .
“in the nighttime economy , there ' s a lot of talent , ” he says . “think of all the graphic designers , party promoters , djs—all these people that use the night as a serious playground to develop their skills and in the end , have their daytime job . definitely the creative industries are really important for europe and especially for cities like amsterdam or berlin , but actually for everywhere in the world . ”
the bill is intended to help the city’s struggling music venues , in particular its smaller ones , 20 percent of which have closed in the last 15 years because of rising real estate prices , zoning pressures , noise complaints and licensing problems , according to a recent report by the mayor’s office of media and entertainment . cbgb , the east village institution where the ramones and blondie had frequently played , closed in 2006 ; bungalow 8 in chelsea shut down in 2009 ; and the venue shea stadium , an epicenter of brooklyn’s d . i . y . music scene , shuttered this year after losing its lease .
acuto said that new york is now following in the footsteps of london and amsterdam by creating a formal mechanism for operating as a 24 - hour city . “there’s a whole infrastructure for the city that goes for 24 hours , ” he said , pointing to fact that while london’s nighttime entertainment industry is estimated to employ just under 50 , 000 people , its health and social care industry provides over 100 , 000 jobs at night , as does the transport sector .

“i think that to really build a 24 / 7 economic system in amsterdam , we should focus on creating one 24 - hour area in the city , ” milan tells citylab . “you could have working spaces there , and a library open 24 hours a day for students . it would also be a place for food . in holland you can ' t have a proper meal after 9 . 30 p . m . , and when friends arrive late from out of town , all you can really offer them is fries . ”
until recently , amsterdam enforced what by continental european standards is a fairly strict curfew : nightclubs had to close by 4 a . m . on weekdays and 5 a . m . on weekends . the city often had problems with noise and disorder at the exact moment when all the clubs closed , filling narrow inner city streets with rowdy people .
“often people in nightclubs don ' t want to go home at 4 a . m . —only some of them do , ” says milan . “by having free opening hours the club can decide when they want to open and close , which means that 1 , 000 people aren ' t suddenly thrown out on to the street at five in the morning . instead , they start leaving in a steady , manageable stream around 3 a . m . and continue until around 8 a . m . that ' s better for the neighborhood noise - wise , and it’s also better for the programming of the club because then they can have more djs in and sell more tickets . ”
“every friday and saturday , we have 10 people who walk the street and try to de - escalate any problems , ” says milan . “they ' re not police or security ; they ' re also your friend , but they’re still trying to explain to you the rules . sometimes people just aren ' t aware that they have anti - social behavior , so they come out of a nightclub and don ' t realize they ' re shouting . just explaining to them that people live there can make a difference . ”

“now more than ever , as we are seeing more and more music venues , bars and restaurants shutting their doors ; more notably in its d . i . y . scene , the city needs to stop the bleeding of its cultural hubs , or risk becoming corporatized and homogenized , ” said rafael espinal , a new york city council member who first proposed the bill .
mr . milan’s flagship project has been the introduction of ten 24 - hour venues on the western outskirts of the city . the idea was to alleviate the pressure on the city’s heaving center and create a purpose - built nighttime district . the area contains several multidisciplinary venues , including art galleries and co - working spaces , as well as bars and clubs .
granting these establishments 24 - hour licenses means the venues can set their own operating hours , offering more flexibility for locals and tourists as well as reducing loitering on the streets . “it’s something you see happening everywhere in the world — all venues close at the same time , ” mr . milan said . “so people spill out onto the street at the same time , which of course causes a lot of problems and nuisance for people living in these areas . ”
she said that she spends much of her time working with london’s deputy mayors for policing and crime , transport , culture , planning and housing . “if you take a slice of everything they do and flip it into the dark , that is my brief , ” she said .
“new york is the city that never sleeps , but not all of those people are going to parties , ” mr . acuto said . “you can assume that the majority of them are going to a health care job . ”
nyc ' s nightlife culture is an integral part of its identity , yet bureaucratic red tape , rising rents and lack of community planning has made it increasingly difficult for venues that contribute to our iconic nightlife to stay in business ,
espinal , who represents parts of bushwick , east new york , brownsville and cypress hills , said in a statement .
but as nikki brown , an organizer with the dance liberation network and the manager of brooklyn ' s boiler room points out ,
it ' s now up to the city to ensure that this position is not an empty gesture but an empowered ally to the creatives that drive much of the cultural relevance and economic vitality of new york .

for me the punk movement was tremendously important and spoke to my heart , because we were trying to sort out the world ,
de blasio said , before bragging about seeing the clash at bond ' s casino in 1981 .
there was something amazing happening here in america , and first and foremost that was about the ramones .
he continued ,
there was a time in this city ' s history where these venues were not only challenged , but there was a systematic effort to undercut them . a lot of who we are as a city was undermined . . . and one of the big reasons was that it was hard to navigate the rules and restrictions that in some cases went too far .
i do feel as if there ' s a general change in the air , that these things will have a lasting and measurable effect ,
said justin ahiyon , one of the owners of house of yes . the venue — a briefly shuttered
hippie - punk - squat house ,
whose parties these days skew toward circus - based erotica — is one of many spaces operating in fear of the city ' s archaic rules and arbitrary enforcement , according to founder anya sapozhnikova .
it ' s absolutely terrifying when you ' re trying to create a safe space for people of all types to come together and dance and celebrate life , and in the back of your mind you know it could get shut down for no reason at all ,
sapozhnikova said .
to have the city in support of us is going to do incredible things .
just about everyone in attendance seemed to echo sapozhnikova ' s optimism , even if some were more guarded about what sort of impact the office could have in the short term .

bronx native gerard mcnamee , who served as webster hall ' s director of operations for more than a decade before the venue was sold to a corporate partnership for $ 35 million in april , is proactively seeking the role of nightlife ambassador .
though the newly created post will be an appointed position , the 48 - year - old mcnamee paid a visit to city hall on thursday afternoon — where city officials were meeting about the new position — to ask how he might bolster his chances .
though webster hall ' s 1 , 500 - person capacity makes it one of downtown ' s larger music venues , it had for 131 years mostly been a family - run operation that was in relatively good standing with its neighbors , thanks in part to mcnamee ' s diplomatic prowess . he ' s also a co - owner of the popular east village social bar on st . marks place .
but according to one insider familiar with the ambassadorship plan , being a bar owner could work against mcnamee .
the concern is that having a stake in a nightclub poses a conflict ,
according to that source .
it ' s hoped that the agency will be an impartial liaison between nightlife businesses and residents .

new york city will be home to the largest and longest - running party the world has ever seen ,
according to mcnamee .

the concept caught fire in europe and is gaining relevance in large and small cities across the atlantic .
pittsburgh , pa . , got its first nighttime economy coordinator three years ago .
and now , large and small cities in the u . s . have begun to embrace the position as their downtowns have become more populated .
“this is coming into the 21st century of urban planning . it’s not all about buildings , roads , bike lanes . it’s about the socializing . it’s about what people can do in your city , ” he says . “you have to plan for people as much as you plan for buildings . ”
last week , a new york city council committee advanced a proposal to create an office of nightlife ( headed by a nightlife director ) and a nightlife advisory board . the proposal will be voted on by the full council on aug . 24 .
if it passes , it could help solve some of the city’s problems preserving small , independent art spaces and nightlife venues , according to rafael espinal , the councilmember who introduced the bill .
“nyc is one step closer to bringing nightlife out of the bureaucratic shadows , ” espinal said in a press release after the committee vote . “from diy venues to nightclubs , this bill accurately reflects the diversity of the nyc nightlife scene . ”
like other cities experiencing rapid neighborhood change and rising rents , new york has been struggling to keep space available for smaller , independent venues , “and [ manhattan ] has become kind of sterile [ with ] just a bunch of high rises now , ”says peters , the rhi president . london has a similar problem that ' s causing the city to lose population .
of course , that involves balancing the needs of businesses with those of residents . allison harnden , pittsburgh’s current nighttime economy coordinator , says she has spent her first year on the job learning how to manage growing pains of the city’s thriving bars , restaurants and art venues .
“we had growing nightlife that , like most cities , really had no plan . it just happened , ” harnden says . “so suddenly you have neighbors feeling the noise or other kinds of disruption because systems haven’t been put in place . ”
harnden ' s first order of business was to look at city codes for outdated and counterproductive laws that may be hurting the nighttime economy . she realized , for example , that the city charges an amusement tax for food and drink served in conjunction with any type of entertainment , even without tickets or a cover charge . so if a restaurant has a piano player , it would be subject to the extra tax .
“i don’t think my businesses are usually aware of all this stuff . so then i have to think about , why was that law created ? does it need to be looked at again ? ” she says .

t midnight on a freezing friday , amsterdam’s rembrandtplein is rammed . excited clubbers flock towards the cavernous , hi - tech pulse of escape and the glitzy club rain . all around ,
tonight , though , is calm . ten pairs of young , red - jacketed rembrandtplein hosts tour the square , chatting amiably to clubbers and drinkers , directing tourists and out - of - towners , gently reminding all of the rembrandtplein rules , prominently displayed everywhere : “stay classy , think neighbours , drink inside , use a loo . ”
milan , 35 , a former club promoter , was elected in 2014 by festival - goers , club and bar owners and ( in an online vote ) the public . formally , the post – which emerged from projects dating back to 2003 – is as head of a small but influential non - profit foundation funded jointly by city hall and the business community .
not all cities have the same priorities . in london , gentrification and rising property prices – followed swiftly by new and deeply unhappy neighbours – have seen nearly 40 % of the city’s grassroots music venues close in less than a decade .
in australia , the new south wales government’s decision to ban clubbers in sydney’s kings cross from entering venues after 1 . 30am may have cut street incidents by 40 % – but it also shut down 40 clubs , and saw footfall in the whole district plummet by 82 % last year .
out in amsterdam - west by the a10 motorway is de school , one of the 10 trial 24 - hour venues just outside the city centre that since last year have been free to decide for themselves when they open and close .

a sprawling former technical college that opened in january , de school now houses an airy daytime cafe , a gourmet restaurant , a gym , a concert space , an art gallery that is currently negotiating exhibitions with amsterdam’s stedelijk museum and the palais de tokyo in paris – and , in the basement , a cavernous and ( at 2 . 30 in the morning ) heaving nightclub .
twenty - four - hour licences are also an experiment to see whether city - wide closing times , which ensure thousands of unhappy people are kicked out on to narrow , city centre streets at 4 or 6am while “minutes before they were dancing , off in another world” , may not always be a good idea .
the early success of de school and several of its fellow 24 - hour venues has revealed another truth , says kyara van loenen , its creative director . “people now are very happy to cycle 20 , even 30 minutes , out of the city centre for a bigger , different , more complete experience , ” she says .
“it’s a lifestyle thing . the people coming here work hard – really hard – in the day and run or work out in the gym several times a week . at the weekend , they want to party . being able to open 24 hours a day means we can offer them something that really matches their needs , that they really want . ”
“we need a 24 - hour library , 24 - hour workspaces for students and creatives and people whose work means they’re dealing with the other side of the world . shops where you can buy tomorrow’s breakfast , or that cable you need now for that presentation you’re giving at 9am . it’s possible . ”
a little further outside the city centre , radion amsterdam , a vast former dentistry school and another 24 - hour licence holder , was hosting a 36 - hour dance party that started on friday evening and would end at 11am on sunday .
“at which point , ” says staas , one of the organisers , “the cafe opens for the sunday activities we run for local kids . it works fine – 24 - hours is how people want to live now . you know , the tickets that sold out first for this weekend were for saturday – but for entry between 7am and midday . people want to party on saturday morning . ”
“there you’ll have , like , 20 , 000 people , ” says milan . “maybe two get pick - pocketed , and there’s one fight . it’s because you have easy - on , easy - off access , clear routes around the site , a programme and rules that everyone knows and understands , soft security … basically , a pleasant environment . ”
so the dutch electronic multinational philips , was persuaded to invest in some significantly more subdued , even refined lighting for the elegant townhouses that line the square , replacing garish neon .

halfway into season 1 , though , the creative team realized that mythology was what they did best and started building out angel’s larger world . by the start of season 2 , denisof’s wesley had joined fellow sunnydale refugee cordelia , and former street gang leader gunn eventually completed the quartet . meanwhile , the sinister law firm of wolfram & hart was elevated to big bad status , becoming angel’s primary nemesis until season 5 , when it became his employer . but it was the pylea arc , which ran through the last four episodes of the second season , that really helped angel chart a new course . up until that point , angel’s old vampire flame , darla ( julie benz ) , had been the instigator of much of the season’s conflict . as benz herself later revealed in an interview , the writers felt they had exhausted that material and decided to end their sophomore year on a different note .
fifteen years ago this month , david boreanaz’s soulful bloodsucker angel drove his vampire - mobile through an interdimensional portal and arrived in a fantasy realm known as pylea . when he and the rest of the angel investigations team — cordelia ( charisma carpenter ) , wesley ( alexis denisof ) , and gunn ( j . august richards ) — returned to our reality three episodes later , both they and the show had been profoundly changed . it was an evolution that had been two seasons in the making . according to vampire lore , joss whedon’s buffy spin - off was initially intended to be more of an episodic detective series ( as opposed to the more serialized storytelling on its parent show ) following the title character and his associates as they solved a variety of cases involving supernatural - crime in los angeles .

4 . it said goodbye to buffy when angel’s crew returns from pylea in the closing moments of the season , their good mood is immediately put on ice when they run across sunnydale’s most famous witch - hacker , willow , who has some awful news . see , season 2 of angel ran concurrently on the wb with season 5 of buffy , which famously ended with the slayer swan - diving to her death and her series saying farewell to its original network and moving over to upn for its sixth year . that shift essentially forced the shows to sever all ties with each other going forward , apart from a few oblique references . ( angel did drop by sunnydale for buffy ’s final season as well , although she notably stayed away from l . a . during his last year . ) and while she was initially missed , not having the specter of buffy looming over everything allowed angel to fully come into its own in subsequent seasons .

“there’s more to go , ” sly said of rocky while speaking to the press alongside stars michael b . jordan and tessa thompson . “i would like to follow this character until eventually he’s an angel . ”
before watching black angel , also called senso ' 45 , i had not experienced a film by italian filmmaker tinto brass . this maestro of erotic cinema is best known for caligula , the salacious biopic of the roman emperor that was funded by penthouse . his black angel captures a torrid love affair between the wife of a fascist politician and a young nazi officer in wwii - era italy . i understand this film is more serious than many of brass ' others , which is understandable given the backdrop . if black angel is any indication , brass is not directing for the masses . the softcore sex and nudity run rampant , but brass has an undeniably keen eye behind the camera . many shots - and leading lady anna galiena - are beautiful , and the heartless characters mirror the war outside their bedrooms .

cheers ( nbc ) premiered in 1983 . it ' s first season achieved ratings similar to tng ( 10 - 13 ) and these were considered lousy . the second season saw ratings in the 20s and received ratings in the upper 20s in most of the later seasons . this was considered very very good .
but the reeves - stevens also point out that ds9 was on fewer stations than tng in the us , and still managed to be in the top 10 for syndicated shows .
on supernatural , jody mills – introduced in season five when struck by a zombie - related tragedy that claimed her husband and son – ended up adopting a duo of teens . claire novak ( kathryn love newton ) was introduced in season four ( first played by sydney imbeau ) as the daughter of angel castiel’s bodily vessel . annie “alex” jones ( katherine ramdeen ) was introduced in season nine in tragic circumstances , trafficked as bait for vampire victims before the winchesters intervened .
much more important is the direct , demonstrable influence of the development of the hand on the rest of the organism . it has already been noted that our simian ancestors were gregarious ; it is obviously impossible to seek the derivation of man , the most social of all animals , from non - gregarious immediate ancestors . mastery over nature began with the development of the hand , with labour , and widened man’s horizon at every new advance . he was continually discovering new , hitherto unknown properties in natural objects . on the other hand , the development of labour necessarily helped to bring the members of society closer together by increasing cases of mutual support and joint activity , and by making clear the advantage of this joint activity to each individual . in short , men in the making arrived at the point where they had something to say to each other . necessity created the organ ; the undeveloped larynx of the ape was slowly but surely transformed by modulation to produce constantly more developed modulation , and the organs of the mouth gradually learned to pronounce one articulate sound after another .
still , it ' s hard to drum interest in the show when the episodes premiere against things that draw more interest . i think the summer was a better fit for the show because discussions didn ' t get lost in the whirlwind of fall tv programming and in the midst of 3 sports seasons .
the app was pretty enough , and the idea interesting enough , that cold brew labs found institutional funding in early 2009 from first mark capital in new york .
first off i ' m gonna start with the songs . we ' ve noticed a lot of people wondering about the rap song that ' s in the drama . we tried finding it but we couldn ' t and instead we found this . when i initially saw it , it had 280000 views but now its got over 300000 . i wonder where the views are coming from lol . this guy is actually going the korean route and he actually wrote all the lyrics too which i really admire . there ' s a lot of heated discussion about this cover right now but too bad we can ' t find a version of the angel in the making sub - theme song by him and kevin tong . it ' s a crazy funny copy of the original .
we can only hope that hbo realise that this is a cult classic in the making that ' s adding great value to their brand / catalogue and is one of those few shows that probably can make people pay for a streaming service just to see it . simply put , it ' s just too good to cancel .

shot in 2002 but designed to look era - appropriate , black angel receives a reasonably good 1 . 78 : 1 / 1080p / avc - encoded transfer . the picture is thick with grain and texture , and the intended soft focus in many shots does not rob the image of detail . the muted colors do not necessarily pop , and blacks occasionally crush . i did notice a fair amount of noise , particularly in darker scenes , but some of this is likely inherent in the source . skin tones are accurate , so that ' s good , and this gauzy , dreamy image is brass ' intended look .
but all that was not yet labour in the proper sense of the word . labour begins with the making of tools . and what are the most ancient tools that we find – the most ancient judging by the heirlooms of prehistoric man that have been discovered , and by the mode of life of the earliest historical peoples and of the rawest of contemporary savages ? they are hunting and fishing implements , the former at the same time serving as weapons . but hunting and fishing presuppose the transition from an exclusively vegetable diet to the concomitant use of meat , and this is another important step in the process of transition from ape to man . a meat diet contained in an almost ready state the most essential ingredients required by the organism for its metabolism . by shortening the time required for digestion , it also shortened the other vegetative bodily processes that correspond to those of plant life , and thus gained further time , material and desire for the active manifestation of animal life proper . and the farther man in the making moved from the vegetable kingdom the higher he rose above the animal . just as becoming accustomed to a vegetable diet side by side with meat converted wild cats and dogs into the servants of man , so also adaptation to a meat diet , side by side with a vegetable diet , greatly contributed towards giving bodily strength and independence to man in the making . the meat diet , however , had its greatest effect on the brain , which now received a far richer flow of the materials necessary for its nourishment and development , and which , therefore , could develop more rapidly and perfectly from generation to generation . with all due respect to the vegetarians man did not come into existence without a meat diet , and if the latter , among all peoples known to us , has led to cannibalism at some time or other ( the forefathers of the berliners , the weletabians or wilzians , used to eat their parents as late as the tenth century ) , that is of no consequence to us today .

1 . it made angel smile a gloomy gus by nature ( blame it on the whole “having a soul” thing ) , the darkness of l . a . nights only encouraged angel’s brooding nature . but pylea allows him to come out of the shadows and into the sun , because in this dimension , catchin’ some rays doesn’t equal immediate death . boreanaz’s initially joyous reaction to being able to soak up pylea’s twin suns is priceless , and the writers would make a point of allowing their star to engage in more comedy going forward . ( a classic example being season 5’s immortal all - puppet episode , “smile time . ” ) of course , we eventually learn that there are downsides to “vamping out” in pylea , which include being transformed into a raging beast . still , that smile makes it all worth it .

the oecd can play an important role in addressing these issues . in particular , by emphasising the substantial benefit from standardising proms and prems across countries , and recognising the oecd’s leadership in reporting health system performance measures , the oecd is well placed to take forward international work to extend and deepen the benchmarking of health system performance through patient - reported indicators .
3 . it made lorne matter speaking of comic characters who suddenly acquire unexpected emotional depth , lorne ( played by the late andy hallett ) was introduced early on in season 2 as the flamboyant host of l . a . premiere demon hotspot caritas . but the pylea arc revealed his backstory as a refugee from that dimension , where he was known by the far more ferocious name , krevlornswath of the deathwok clan . escorting angel and his pals to his native land and serving as a tour guide of sorts , lorne checks in on his family and reaffirms his decision that he was right to leave . but being on his home turf allows us to see a different , more dramatic side of lorne , and hallett rose to the occasion . that may be why , after spending another season as a recurring character , lorne was invited to join the main crew in angel ’s fourth and fifth year . growing increasingly broken and bitter during that time , he arguably has the most haunting moment in the show’s terrific series finale , and the seeds of that eventual downfall are planted here .
so , there you have it , folks . the cw’s upcoming new the vampire diaries / the originals spinoff series legacies ( which just today received a series order , ) is apparently to blame , making wayward sisters a casualty of an unfortunate zero - sum dynamic of spinoff shows for the 2018 - 2019 television season .

it stands to reason that if erect gait among our hairy ancestors became first the rule and then , in time , a necessity , other diverse functions must , in the meantime , have devolved upon the hands . already among the apes there is some difference in the way the hands and the feet are employed . in climbing , as mentioned above , the hands and feet have different uses . the hands are used mainly for gathering and holding food in the same way as the fore paws of the lower mammals are used . many apes use their hands to build themselves nests in the trees or even to construct roofs between the branches to protect themselves against the weather , as the chimpanzee , for example , does . with their hands they grasp sticks to defend themselves against enemies , or bombard their enemies with fruits and stones . in captivity they use their hands for a number of simple operations copied from human beings . it is in this that one sees the great gulf between the undeveloped hand of even the most man - like apes and the human hand that has been highly perfected by hundreds of thousands of years of labour . the number and general arrangement of the bones and muscles are the same in both hands , but the hand of the lowest savage can perform hundreds of operations that no simian hand can imitate – no simian hand has ever fashioned even the crudest stone knife .

by the way the dog killing guy is definitely not a figment of kevin ' s imagination . he interacts with other characters even in scenes without kevin for example the scene in the woods where he was with the gr as they
found
their dead member who had been stoned . the mystery surrounding him is really more of a kevin mystery because most of their interaction has been during kevin ' s sleepwalking type stage where he acts irrationally and has no recollection of it . i don ' t know if we ' ll ever see that guy again but to be fair it was a logical place for his character to leave the story . there was an implication that he was kevin ' s guardian angel because kevin sr . told him they were sending someone to look out for him , but i think that was a red herring , and patty is actually his guardian angel .
