Shift work has been linked to higher rates of type 2 diabetes, heart attacks and cancer. Now scientists at the Sleep Research Centre in Surrey have uncovered the disruption shift work causes at the deepest molecular level. Experts said the scale, speed and severity of damage caused by being awake at night was a surprise. The human body has its own natural rhythm or body clock tuned to sleep at night and be active during the day. It has profound effects on the body, altering everything from hormones and body temperature to athletic ability, mood and brain function. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , followed 22 people as their body … [Read more...] about Night work ‘throws body into chaos’

Timaru's deputy mayor said his decision not to seek re-election in this year’s local body elections was “massive’’ and one he did not make lightly.

Photo: RoadsideFlix/YouTube Emily the Criminal has an awfully cute title for a movie so bubbling over with rage. Paired with the fact that its star is Aubrey Plaza, an actor best known for her comedic deadpan, it might bring forth thoughts of twee adventures into minor misbehavior and eventual redemption — as though Emily the Strange grew up and started dabbling in delinquency. But there isn’t anything remotely cloying in how writer-director John Patton Ford’s lean, effective debut treats its title character’s journey into credit-card fraud. To make that clear, Emily gets her face smashed into a car door early in the movie. After her first experience as a “dummy shopper” for a gang of credit-card thieves goes well — $200 to buy a flat-screen using a stolen number — she signs on for something trickier. She’s sent to a car dealership knowing she has only eight minutes to get away with the vehicle before the bank calls back to let the owners know the charge isn’t legitimate. As she … [Read more...] about Isn’t Interested in Empathy
