Trova località simili

In base ai criteri specificati, lo strumento Trova località simili consente di valutare la somiglianza di località presenti nel layer di ricerca candidati con una o più località di riferimento. Questo strumento consente di rispondere a domande quali:

Quali negozi sono più simili a quelli con fatturato migliore in relazione ai profili cliente?

Sulla base delle caratteristiche dei villaggi colpiti più duramente da un'infezione, quali altri villaggi sono ad alto rischio?

        Per rispondere a simili domande, è necessario specificare le località di riferimento, le località di ricerca candidate e i campi che rappresentano i criteri da abbinare. Il primo layer di input deve contenere le località di riferimento o da utilizzare per il confronto.  Può ad esempio trattarsi di un layer contenente i negozi con fatturato migliore oppure i villaggi colpiti più duramente dall'infezione. Si deve quindi specificare il layer contenente le località di ricerca candidate. Può trattarsi di tutti i negozi o di tutti gli altri villaggi. È infine necessario identificare uno o più campi da utilizzare per misurare la somiglianza. Lo strumento Trova località simili classificherà quindi tutte le località di ricerca candidate in base alla percentuale di somiglianza con le località di riferimento sulla base dei valori specificati in tutti i campi selezionati.

Scegli il layer contenente le posizioni di riferimento

Il layer di punti, linea o area contenente le posizioni di riferimento da abbinare.

Oltre a scegliere un layer dalla mappa, è possibile selezionare  Scegli layer di analisi dell'atlante attivo o Scegli layer di analisi in fondo all'elenco a discesa. Verrà aperta una galleria contenente una raccolta di layer utili per numerose analisi.

È possibile utilizzare tutte le località o effettuare una selezione

Se necessario, utilizzare i pulsanti di selezione per identificare le località di riferimento. Se ad esempio il layer di input contiene tutte le località, ovvero quelle di riferimento e quelle di ricerca candidate, sarà necessario utilizzare uno degli strumenti di selezione per identificare le località di riferimento. Se si creano due layer distinti, uno con le località di riferimento e l'altro con tutte le località di ricerca candidate, non è necessario effettuare una selezione.

Se è presente più di una località di riferimento, viene creata un'unica località ottenuta calcolando la media dei valori di ciascun campo utilizzato per l'analisi della somiglianza.

Cerca località simili in

le località di ricerca candidate presenti in questo layer verranno classificate a partire da quella più simile fino a quella meno simile. La somiglianza è basata sulla percentuale di corrispondenza tra ciascuna località e la località di riferimento sulla base dei campi specificati.

Oltre a scegliere un layer dalla mappa, è possibile selezionare  Scegli layer di analisi dell'atlante attivo o Scegli layer di analisi in fondo all'elenco a discesa. Verrà aperta una galleria contenente una raccolta di layer utili per numerose analisi.

Basa somiglianza su

i campi selezionati costituiranno i criteri per valutare la somiglianza. Se si seleziona un campo per la popolazione e il reddito, le località di ricerca candidate con punteggio inferiore (migliore) saranno quelle con valori simili alle località di riferimento in relazione alla popolazione e al reddito.

Mostra

È possibile visualizzare tutte le località di ricerca candidate classificate a partire da quella più simile a quella meno simile oppure specificare il numero di risultati desiderati.

 tutte le località da quella più simile a quella meno simile: tutte le feature presenti nel layer di ricerca candidati verranno inclusi nel layer dei risultati in ordine di classificazione.

 i primi  1: specificare il numero di candidati più simili includere nel layer dei risultati.

Nome layer risultati

Specificare un nome per il layer che verrà creato in  I miei contenuti e aggiunto alla mappa.  Questo layer dei risultati conterrà le località di riferimento e il numero di località di ricerca candidate specificate. Se il nome del layer dei risultati esiste già, verrà chiesto di rinominarlo.

Utilizzare la casella a discesa  Salva risultato in per specificare il nome di una cartella di I miei contenuti in cui salvare il risultato.

I am still working on a project here and there, and it's possible I'll finish up one or both before 2017 gasps its last breath, but my most recent finished project is too cute not to share and celebrate.
The pattern is from The Crafty Fox Crochet. I saw this snowman in my Instagram feed a lot in the last month; it was a really popular creation amongst crocheters this year. I decided to try my hand at it and I really liked making my inaugural cuddly snowman!
The color options are endless for the scarf, hat, and pom-pom, though I find poms are more of a yarn commitment, since it takes so much to make one. My first one fell apart and I was very squinty about the waste of yarn before I finally got the second one to work (pictured).
I ended up using this snowman as a giveaway gift in a white elephant holiday game, but I think in the future, I'll reserve making them for those who really treasure these kinds of gifts.
I hope your holiday season is going well, friends. Happy jolly merry holi-daze!

Q: Galera not working with Replication I am using MariaDB 10.2
I have node2 (2.2.2.2) running as a slave to some external database. I bootstrapped node2 as the first member of a Galera cluster "my_cluster".
Node1 (1.1.1.1) joined with rsync SST but after an hour I see that it's behind node2.
I tried running some inserts manually and it works both ways.
However anything added by the replication to node2 in completely ignored by node1.
node1:

Extreme Motorsports–ESM Patrón Brings Monterey Momentum to the Motor City
Fresh off its first overall win in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, Extreme Speed Motorsports (ESM) is hungry for a second victory and has its sights set on this weekend's Chevrolet Sports Car Classic on Belle Isle – the fifth round of the inaugural TUDOR Championship.
ESM is making its Detroit prototype debut. Belle Isle may be new to the ESM Tequila Patrón-sponsored Honda Performance Development (HPD) ARX-03b race cars, but the team was quickest in GT qualifying back in 2012, en route to the team's first pole at Belle Isle as part of the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series.
The Belle Isle circuit was reconfigured in 2013 to the current 13-turn, 2.35-mile temporary street layout. Despite the circuit changes, the team must adapt quickly to the new configuration and manage the tight turns and bumpy surface that temporary street circuits often present.
Scott Sharp and Ryan Dalziel, co-drivers of the No. 1 Tequila Patrón HPD, are looking to return to the podium for the first time since the 12 Hours of Sebring in March. The duo has showed its speed and performance in the last two rounds of competition but bad luck reared its ugly head both times. Despite running some of the quickest laps at Long Beach, the No. 1 machine ran out of fuel on the white flag lap. Then earlier this month after running strong at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, the team was forced to the sidelines mid-race with a broken gearbox. Sharp was part of that pole-winning team in 2012 at Belle Isle and he also competed there in the IndyCar Series. Dalziel finished on the Belle Isle podium in 2013 and looks to make a return visit.
Still riding the wave of their first overall win at the Grand Prix of Monterey earlier this month are Ed Brown and Johannes van Overbeek, co-drivers of the No. 2 Tequila Patrón HPD. The duo started from the pole and resumed the lead with 15 minutes remaining in the race to capture the team's first win of the season. Van Overbeek has raced at Belle Isle before but teammate Brown is new to the island circuit. With four races complete this season, Brown and van Overbeek are third in the driver's championship standings.
This weekend's race is the only TUDOR Championship event that takes place on a state park and island. On Feb. 10, Belle Isle Park was recognized as a State of Michigan park. The 982-acre island is situated on the Detroit River just off the mainland with a view of Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
The TUDOR United SportsCar Championship Chevrolet Sports Car Classic presented by the Metro Detroit Chevy Dealers Continental on May 30-31 is the fifth race of 2014 TUDOR United SportsCar Championship. Qualifying for prototype cars takes place at 5:45pm ET on Friday, May 30. Green flag is 12:15 p.m. ET on Saturday, May 31.

Researcher cited in facial recognition report
Solent University Post Doctoral Researcher, Dr Garfield Benjamin, had his submission to the Scottish Parliament Justice Sub-Committee on Policing relating to facial recognition cited in the Sub-Committee's report released today.
Holyrood's Justice Sub-Committee on Policing has said that current live facial recognition technology is not fit for use by Police Scotland. It goes on to say that before introducing the technology, it needs to demonstrate the legal basis they would rely on for its use; the technology's compliance with human rights and data protection legislation; and that the biases in it which discriminate against ethnic minorities and women have been eliminated. Without these safeguards in place, the Sub-Committee concluded any investment in the technology would be unjustifiable.
In his written evidence, Dr Garfield Benjamin raised particular concern about the police service collecting and retaining data on children without their consent: "The UK Children's Commissioner released a report on children's privacy and the shocking amount of data that is collected and shared about children, often without their permission or even knowledge. The report highlights how more needs to be done to ensure that children's privacy is respected, and researchers have found that children want greater transparency over their data."
He also argued that it cannot be considered that consent is given for the use of facial recognition technology in public spaces, as this changes the role of the public and the police: "We must ask ourselves the cost, in terms of freedom, trust and inclusivity, of surveillance technology. And we must not only regulate but develop and test such technologies according to the ethical and societal values we wish to embody."
In his written evidence, Dr Garfield Benjamin highlights the global context moving away from facial recognition. Morocco has temporarily prohibited the use of facial recognition technology by the police service and a broader moratorium bill is currently being considered in Massachusetts.
Following the publication of the report, Dr Garfield says: "Facial recognition in public spaces fundamentally changes how we interact with the police. It places everyone in a police lineup every time we leave the house. The conclusions of the report, and the decision by Police Scotland not to use facial recognition at this time, is a welcome push towards respect, consent and protecting human rights."

Hong Kong History, Language and Culture
Although Hong Kong is largely thought of in terms of its development from the colonial era onwards, humans have settled in the area since the late Stone Age. It came under the influence of China around 200 BC, with serious settlement by Han Chinese beginning in the 12th century AD. It is thought that they displaced the original inhabitants, whose descendants are now known as Tanka and traditionally live on boats.
Regular contact between China and Europe began with the arrival of the Portuguese, who established a trading settlement in nearby Macau in 1557. Their influence had declined, however, by the time the British started trading in the south of the Chinese mainland around 1750. The problem was that although they wanted goods such as tea and porcelain, the Chinese were not interested in buying anything from them.
The solution was to import opium from India, and when the Chinese authorities – alarmed at both the cost and the growing addiction rate – tried to block it, the British sent in gunboats. They seized Hong Kong in 1841 in the First Opium War, and a year later the Treaty of Nanking gave the British control of Hong Kong, plus the right to trade in five Chinese ports. A few years later the British took the Kowloon peninsula as a result of the Second Opium War. Then, in 1898, the New Territories were leased from China for 99 years.
The British rule of Hong Kong was interrupted only by the four-year Japanese occupation during World War 2. In the years after the war, free market policies and an abundance of cheap labour helped Hong Kong's economy grow on the back of financial services and textile manufacture.
It was in December 1984 that an agreement was signed for the terms of the reversion to China, with guarantees that the territory would enjoy a high degree of autonomy, especially in the economic field. The slogan 'one country, two systems' was coined by the Chinese to describe the regime and only in foreign affairs and defence would the new Special Administrative Region be subject to the diktat of Beijing.
China has largely stuck to the concept although it is often argued that the mainland has covert influence over Hong Kong politics and today, despite the lack of true democracy, Hong Kong seems to have grown again in confidence and is becoming more comfortable with its unusual political position.
• Hong Kong's Central-Mid-Levels escalator is the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world and the total travel time is 20 minutes.
• Hong Kong's oldest university was established in 1911.
• Hong Kong comprises of 261 islands; many are unpopulated and unreachable.
Hong Kong Culture
Buddhist, Confucian and Taoist, with Christian and Muslim minorities; but there are also places of worship for most other religious groups.
Social conventions:
Handshaking is the most common form of greeting. In Hong Kong, the family name comes first; so Wong Man Ying would be addressed as Mr. Wong.
Most entertaining takes place in restaurants rather than in private homes; during a meal, a toast is often made saying "yam seng" (meaning "drink to success"). There may be up to 12 courses served in a meal, and although it is not considered an insult to eat sparingly, a good appetite is always appreciated and it is considered cordial to taste every dish. It is customary to invite the host to a return dinner.
Informal wear is generally acceptable, although some restaurants and social functions often warrant formal attire. Smoking is widely acceptable, but is now prohibited in most public places.
Language in Hong Kong
Cantonese and English are the official languages, with Cantonese the most widely spoken. Mandarin is growing quickly as a second language. English is widely spoken, especially in business circles.

Scarfs are a type of neck wear. They serve different purpose for different people, some wear it for fashion, while other wear it for protection from sun during the summer and from cold wind in the winter, it also has religious purpose for some. They come in many materials like wool for winters, tin fabric for summers, whereas silk scarfs are worn a part of uniforms for some men.
Knit are usually worn in winter season. They are made out of materials which can keep you warm in the cold winds of winter i.e. wool. Wool is a textile fabric and a unique mix of good insulation and light weight nature. They are worn around the neck. A knit scarf gives men a laid back, causal look which is perfect for hanging out with friends.
These scarfs are made from cotton materials; they are light weight and soft on skin. Cotton scarfs are a great addition to men's wardrobe. They are very stylish and wear well if almost everything in your closet.
Silk is an elegant fabric. It is oldest fabric known to men. Silk scarfs are known as scarf. They go well with tuxedo or tailcoat. Unlike other scarfs they are wrapped over the back of the neck or over the shoulders. The length of the scarf determines how men are goes to wear it, so first men have to decide how to wear it before buying silk scarf.

Q: Antonym for Hypochondriac or another word completely? Sample sentence:

Some people think that Veronica is a workaholic but what they don't know about her is that she actually suffers from a very debilitating and un-diagnosed chronic illness – she's really the opposite of a hypochondriac.

I am not satisfied with previous answers to this question.
Q: What do you call people who are misdiagnosed or judged by their doctors (especially in the US) as "hypochondriacs" when in fact they are suffering from real illnesses?
They are neither overly anxious or nonchalant about their actual condition.  After years of being mis-treated, un-treated, mis-diagnosed, or un-diagnosed these sufferers go back into the workplace and stop talking to anyone about their condition because it is the most practical thing to do. They pretend they are perfectly healthy and silently suffer through their pains/symptoms.  I don't know any hypochondriacs but I know dozens of these types of people.
Maybe the word I am looking for is the inability of doctors and society in general to cope with the actual sea of suffering/illness that there is in our society.

A: For the sufferers who are afflicted with chronic pain or hidden illnesses which may or may not be diagnosed by the medical profession, there is a term for this condition:

Invisible disability
Invisible disabilities are chronic illnesses and conditions that significantly impair normal activities of daily living. In the United States, 96% of people with chronic medical conditions show no outward signs of their illness, and 10% experience symptoms that are considered disabling.

And there's an interesting article online called Chronic pain: The "invisible" disability. The author describes the frustration of managing their chronic pain, long after the illness has been diagnosed and treated

…a study by the Institute of Medicine discovered that pain can endure long after the illness or injury that caused its initial onset has been treated or healed, until it eventually evolves, or devolves, into its own disease. That is, pain is no longer indicative of another prognosis — it is the prognosis, and a disabling one at that.

However, there doesn't appear to be a single word that describes the category of silent or invisible sufferers. The only single word that comes close is stoic, which Oxford Dictionaries define as

A person who can endure pain or hardship without showing their feelings or complaining.

If the OP described this group as the antithesis of hypochondriacs the meaning would be understood.  Finally, the most common phrase appears to be living with chronic pain, which is universally understood and requires no explanation.

A: Anosognosia. Anosognosia, also called "lack of insight," is a symptom of severe mental illness experienced by some that impairs a person's ability to understand and perceive his or her illness. It is the single largest reason why people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder refuse medications or do not seek treatment.

Pitt Researchers Present Findings During Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Meeting
By Jim Swyers
Researchers in Pitt's School of Medicine presented findings from more than a dozen studies during the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society's North American Chapter meeting, June 13-16 in Toronto.
Highlights of their findings follow.
Blood-forming stem cells cultured from human fat tissue
Pitt researchers have isolated and cultured human hematopoietic stem cells from fat, or adipose, tissue, suggesting that they have found another important source of cells for reconstituting the bone marrow of patients undergoing intensive radiation therapy for blood cancers.
Adipose tissue can rapidly expand or contract in accordance with nutritional constraints. In so doing, it requires rapid adjustment in its blood supply and supporting connective tissue, or stroma.
Based on previous reports that the "stromal vascular" fraction of adipose tissue contains stem cells that give rise to pericytes—cells surrounding small blood vessels—Pitt researchers, led by Albert D. Donnenberg, professor and director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute's Hematopoietic Stem Cell Laboratory, isolated the stromal vascular fraction from human adipose tissue and expanded these cells by growing them in a specialized blood-culturing medium for 21 to 42 days.
Using a cell-sorting method known as flow cytometry, the researchers detected a broad spectrum of blood-forming, or hematopoietic, cells among the cultured cells at varying stages of differentiation. In particular, they observed both early and mature red blood cells. Moreover, they detected CD34+ cells at approximately the same frequency as is present in freshly isolated bone marrow. In bone marrow, CD34+ expression indicates the presence of progenitor cells, which give rise to all of the different types of blood cells.
These data indicate that hematopoietic stem cells, or cells that give rise to them, are an integral part of normal adipose tissue, according to Donnenberg. "We took cells from the stromal vascular fraction of normal adipose tissue and basically gave them bone marrow food to see what would happen," he said. "We were able to culture a variety of hematopoietic cells, including blood progenitor cells."
Donnenberg said that using a patient's own bone marrow or blood-derived stem cells for bone marrow reconstitution carries some risk that these cells are contaminated with the patient's own tumor cells.
"Since it has been shown in some cases that tumor cells contaminating bone marrow grafts are the source of recurrent malignancies after autologous transplantation," he explained, "this might be a way of giving patients who need bone marrow reconstitution their own hematopoietic cells derived from a source other than their defective bone marrow."
"Off-the-shelf" vascular grafts developed by Pitt investigators
Investigators at Pitt have engineered artificial blood vessels from muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) and a biodegradable polymer that exhibit extensive remodeling and remain free of blockages when grafted into rats.
The results of their study have potentially significant implications for the treatment of heart and kidney diseases, in which there is a critical need for new sources of blood vessels for vascular grafts.
The saphenous vein taken from a patient's leg continues to be the most commonly used graft for coronary artery bypass grafting even though a significant percentage of vein grafts eventually fail. Arterial grafts are the preferred conduits because they are less prone to becoming obstructed. However, they are in very limited supply, as many patients require multiple grafts. Thus, there is an ongoing search for the ideal small-caliber arterial substitute for revascularization procedures.
A Pitt team led by David A. Vorp, a professor of surgery and bioengineering and a faculty member of the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, developed its vascular graft by "bulk seeding," or spraying, MDSCs inside a biodegradable porous, tubular polyester urethane scaffold using a rotational vacuum seeding device.
After culturing their vascular constructs for seven days, the investigators then implanted them in the abdominal aortas of rats eight weeks before performing tests to determine how well the grafts had performed. The cell-seeded constructs showed a significantly higher blockage-free rate than unseeded controls (55 percent versus 0 percent). In addition, at eight weeks, there was an extensive remodeling of the MDSC-seeded polymer by surrounding tissue, exhibiting tissue formation that is consistent with a mature artery.
According to Vorp, these findings in a rat demonstrate the feasibility of developing MDSC-seeded tissue-engineered vascular grafts for human application. "The next step is to demonstrate the use of the tissue-engineered blood vessel in a larger animal model, such as a pig, which has a coagulation system more similar to that in humans," he said. "The advantage of our approach is that the graft could utilize the patient's own stem cells and be ready for implantation almost immediately or, at most, after a relatively short culture period. This suggests that we could make these available 'off-the-shelf,' which is an essential element for clinical translation."
Cancer stem cells similar to normal stem cells can thwart anticancer therapies
Current cancer therapies often succeed at initially eliminating most of the disease, including all rapidly proliferating cells, but are eventually thwarted because they cannot eliminate a small reservoir of multiple-drug-resistant tumor cells, called cancer stem cells, which ultimately become the source of disease recurrence and eventual metastasis.
Now, research by Pitt scientists suggests that for chemotherapy to be truly effective in treating lung cancers, for example, it must be able to target a small subset of cancer stem cells, which they have shown share the same protective mechanisms as normal lung stem cells.
The Pitt researchers, led by Vera Donnenberg, an assistant professor of surgery and pharmaceutical sciences, used cell surface markers and dyes to identify cancer stem cells as well as normal adult stem cells and their progeny in samples obtained from normal lung and lung cancer tissue samples. The scientists identified a very small, rare set of resting cancer stem cells in the lung cancer samples that looked and behaved much like normal adult lung tissue stem cells. Both the cancer and normal stem cells were protected equally by multiple drug resistance transporters, even if the bulk of the tumor responded to chemotherapy.
According to Donnenberg, the very fact that cancers can and do relapse after apparently successful therapy indicates the survival of a drug-resistant, tumor-initiating population of cells in many types of refractory cancers. "Because of the similarities between the way that normal stem cells and cancer stem cells protect themselves, cancer therapies have to be designed specifically to target cancer stem cells while sparing normal stem cells," she explained.

LONG ISLAND CITY GROWS EVER SKYWARD
May. 5, 2017 - New York Times
Justin Elghanayan stood on a roof, gazing at a forest of half-built towers. "For a long time this neighborhood was about what will be," said Mr. Elghanayan, the president of Rockrose Development, "and now I think it's about what is."
That neighborhood-in-the-making is the Court Square section of Long Island City, Queens, a longtime industrial area by the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge that is experiencing a surge in residential construction.
While past efforts to add apartments to Long Island City focused largely on the banks of the East River, developers have started to push inland to create a skyline in a place that never really had one, save for the Citigroup Building.
But that was then. According to Halstead Property Development Marketing, a staggering 26 apartment buildings with more than 9,000 units are planned or underway in Court Square, making the wedge-shaped area between 21st Street, 41st Avenue and the Sunnyside rail yards one of the hottest development zones in the city, according to brokers.
The latest contribution from Rockrose, a firm that has played a major role in reinventing the area through the years, is the Hayden, a 51-story tower at 43-25 Hunter Street that soars above rivals and gives the 50-story Citigroup tower, also known as One Court Square, a run for its money.
Named for Levy Hayden, who in the mid-1800s ran a dry-dock facility and who coined the Long Island City name, according to historical accounts, Rockrose's rental offers 974 studio to two-bedroom apartments. With wood floors, granite counters and stacked washers and dryers, the Hayden also has 30,000 square feet of amenities, including a rare full-size basketball court, a two-level gym and a yoga studio overlooking a grassy garden.
In contrast, at the Linc LIC, a 709-unit, 42-story Rockrose-owned rental around the corner that opened in 2014, there is 20,000 square feet of amenities, including a half-size basketball court, Mr. Elghanayan said.
The Hayden, whose construction is being phased, put its first market-rate units up for rent earlier this year. Prices at those 190 units start at $2,400 a month for studios and $3,000 a month for one-bedrooms — the most common unit type — though Rockrose is also throwing in a free month of rent on a one-year lease. In late April, after two months of marketing, those units were about 95 percent leased, Rockrose said.
Separately, 195 of the Hayden's 974 units are designated as affordable housing, and are reserved for people making certain incomes and available at reduced rents. The units have been assigned via lottery and are in the process of being leased.
Not too long ago, renters might have breathed a sigh of relief that the Hayden had so many entertainment options under its own roof, as the neighborhood, a mix of factories, garages and court-related businesses, was not exactly exciting.
Court Square might still have a ways to go until achieving the buzziness of, say, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. But in recent months, it has taken steps in that direction.
Last winter, Toby's Estate, a New York coffee chain, opened its first store in Queens at 26-25 Jackson Avenue. In this red brick Rockrose-owned three-story building, two interior floors had been removed, allowing customers to gaze up into a lofty beam-crossed space. While creating a cool look was one goal, removing those floors also allowed Rockrose to increase the size of the Hayden by transferring the smaller building's unused floor volume, about 20,000 square feet, to the nearby tower.
Two doors away, at 26-21 Jackson, Rockrose has installed Levante, an Italian restaurant from Stella Management Group. It is to open by summer, as is Sapps, a sushi joint at 27-26 Jackson, Mr. Elghanayan said.
Ink-on-paper fans may also be heartened to learn that Book Culture, which has several Manhattan locations, has leased a 2,300-square-foot space at 26-09 Jackson, another Rockrose berth. And to increase the likelihood that Book Culture survives after it opens next year, Rockrose is discounting its rent until it can turn a profit, Mr. Elghanayan said. "We think it's important for the soul of the neighborhood," he said.
Those businesses join a branch of Foodcellar and Co. Market, a 14,000-square-foot high-end food store that ended the area's run as a relative grocery desert when it opened in 2015, on the ground floor of Linc LIC.
But for all the changes afoot on the ground, the most dramatic shifts seem to be happening in the sky. Indeed, rising a few blocks away is a three-tower residential complex with nearly 1,900 units from the developer Tishman Speyer.
The first high-rise to open will be 28-10 Jackson Avenue, a shimmering 44-story building that will have 670 apartments, with leasing starting in the fourth quarter. Tishman's second tower, at 28-34 Jackson, will have 53 stories and 650 units, while its third to open, 30-02 Queens Boulevard, will have 42 stories and 550 units. Offering on-site shops, a 1.5-acre private park and a 50,000-square-foot, amenity-laden clubhouse, the complex is expected to be completed by 2019.
Other major planned residences include 23-15 44th Drive, from a team that includes United Construction and Development Group; the project aims to be an 802-unit condominium tower but awaits zoning approval, said Jiashu Xu, United's president. United has demolished buildings and hopes to start construction this summer.
Another huge project is at 43-30 24th Street, where Stawski Partners plans to develop 923 apartments in a 66-story building, according to city records. Even more commanding is 22-44 Jackson, with about 1,150 rental units, from the Wolkoff Group. The two-towered building, called 5pointz, should open in fall 2018, said Jerry Wolkoff, a principal of the firm.
While those projects take shape, immediate competition may come from the Forge, a 33-story spire from Brause Realty and the Gotham Organization with 272 studios to two-bedrooms. The building, at 44-28 Purves Street, features 26,000 square feet of amenities, including a 50-foot outdoor pool, and will start leasing in June, according to a spokeswoman.
Rockrose has other projects cooking. Its Eagle Lofts, which melds a 54-story modern tower to a low-slung former electrical warehouse at 43-22 Queens Street as part of a 790-unit complex, is now under construction, with an expected 2018 completion date.
While still rare, condos have already turned up, like the Harrison, a 27-story, 120-unit building at 27-21 44th Drive from Silvercup Properties. In late April, a three-bedroom there was for sale for $1.7 million.
Construction isn't limited to Court Square. Farther inland, in a part of Long Island City that some brokers have started to call Dutch Kills, the firms D. A. Development Group and JBL Development Group are at work on the Smyth, a seven-story, 41-unit building. With a red brick facade and wide-plank wood floors, the condo, at 25-16 37th Avenue, is expected to start marketing this spring, said Eric Benaim, the founder and chief executive of the brokerage Modern Spaces, which is handling sales.
Mr. Benaim, who is active across Long Island City, said the area could seem to be getting ahead of itself in terms of housing. But with waves of new residents expected to come from Brooklyn as rents skyrocket, and from Cornell Tech, the graduate school opening this summer on nearby Roosevelt Island, apartments shouldn't sit empty for long.
"We have many saving graces," he said.

Rachel Marsden: Double-jabbed French prime minister catches COVID-19 and is hoisted with his own petard
Tribune Content Agency 11/23/2021 Rachel Marsden, Tribune Content Agency

PARIS — If COVID-19 mass distribution becomes the new rage here in France among the double-jabbed, French Prime Minister Jean Castex just might be in the running for poster boy.
Last weekend, some of us watched the big rugby match between France and the New Zealand All-Blacks, which aired live on TV from the Stade de France in Paris. It was impossible not to notice that the venue, which can only be accessed by those with a "health pass" QR code attesting to either a full course of jabs (which is currently two jabs, but will soon be three for certain demographics) or a recent negative nose swab test, was brimming with cheering mask-less spectators standing shoulder to shoulder. Among them was Castex. No masks or distancing, of course, since the jabs are like COVID kryptonite, right? Well, let's ask Castex himself about that!
"The analyses carried out on [double-vaccinated] people show that they no longer have a chance of catching the disease," Castex said to TF1 TV on July 13, 2021, as French President Emmanuel Macron was gearing up for a national address to introduce mandatory vaccination for some sectors and the infamous government issued QR code based "health pass" to access many aspects of daily life.
The government propaganda was so grotesque that even the public service broadcaster, France Info, published a piece in its "real or fake" section asking whether Castex was correct. "While vaccines protect more than 90 percent against severe forms of the disease, they do not prevent infection," the outlet concluded. Meaning that the prime minister of France was either lying to, or deliberately misleading, the entire country about the true extent of any jab benefits. Or else he's just simply oblivious and not asking himself too many inconvenient questions.
Not exactly the kind of guy into whose hands you'd want to place full physical autonomy and integrity, probably. Yet that's exactly what Castex and his government have been demanding that we do through this entire sanitary fiasco.
After Saturday night's rugby game, Castex subsequently waltzed over to Belgium on Monday to meet up with his Belgian counterpart, Prime Minister Alexander De Croo. "During his trip to Brussels," Le Figaro newspaper reports, "the Prime Minister was also accompanied by the Ministers of the Armed Forces, Florence Parly, of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, of Justice, Éric Dupond-Moretti, of the Secretary of State for Europe, Clément Beaune. The Director General of Internal Security, Nicolas Lerner, that of External Security, Bernard Emie, the National Counterterrorism Prosecutor, Jean-François Ricard, and the National Coordinator of Intelligence and the Fight against Terrorism, Laurent Nunez, were also part of the of the delegation during this trip."

This band, formerly known as "the French delegation," is now potentially up for a name change to "the Castex COVID cluster". At least 10 ministers of Castex's government are now considered contact cases while a determination is made on whether "COVID Kryptonite Castex" is, in fact, "Superspreader Castex". Just a few more government contact cases and maybe the French people can have some decent quiet time without one of them popping up to impose some new constraint or rule under the pretext of avoiding COVID-19.
As Castex would have us believe, he learned that same Monday afternoon, upon his return from Brussels, that his 11-year-old daughter had tested positive for COVID — after which a positive test revealed that he, too, had it.
But who truly passed the plague to whom? Did it go from rugby fan or colleague, to Castex, to kiddo Castex, or from schoolmate to kiddo Castex, to daddy? This is obviously a Rorschach test to determine your biases. No one really has any idea beyond guessing. But blaming the kid is a convenient way to bolster any argument by Castex's government for jabbing kids aged 11 and under.
When you insist on drinking your own bath water, you're bound to eventually suffer some negative consequences. Some of us have long been saying, "Hey, everyone, you do you. Fill your boots (or your least-favorite shoulder) with whatever concoction Big Pharma has to offer — or not. Just leave others to make their own choices, as well." As Castex is unfortunately finding out the hard way, bath water drinking can, in fact, still make you and others sick.

The most popular football clubs: Central Asia
Bishkek: As a unique 2020 domestic football season draws to a close, the-AFC.com looks at some of the best supported clubs in the Central Asian region.
Long before their participation in Asian competition, clubs from Central Asia had developed a proud and passionate football culture. Clubs from the region played, and regularly beat, some of the most famous names in Soviet football, and the tradition has continued with some of the continent's outstanding players emerging from the region.
But which club stirs the passion like no other? Taking into consideration factors such as on-field success and off-field interest, we have selected 10 clubs from four nations. It is now up to you to vote for your favourite club.
Thongaum proud of Chiangrai United's AFC Champions League exploits despite Melbourne Victory draw
Seriousness key to AFC Champions League win over FC Seoul, says Beijing FC's Genesio
Preparation the secret behind Ulsan Hyundai's late AFC Champions League shows, says Kim
FC Pakhtakor
A powerhouse of Uzbek football both in the Soviet era and in more modern times, no Central Asian club has managed to deliver success across generations like Pakhtakor. The club twice finished in the top six of the powerful Soviet top flight, and became the first Central Asian club to reach the Soviet Cup final in 1968.
Tragedy struck the club when a special generation of players was lost to an air disaster in 1979, but Pakhtakor have remained a force in modern times, winning a record 13 Uzbekistan Super League titles and twice reaching the semi-finals in Asia.
FC Bunyodkor
Established in just 2005, Bunyodkor are one of the newer clubs on the list, but five Uzbekistan Super League titles and two AFC Champions League semi-final appearances are a testament to their success.
Household names like Djeparov, Kapadze and Shomurodov have starred for the Tashkent club, but the most famous footballer to ever wear the blue shirt is Rivaldo. The Brazilian World Cup winner won three consecutive titles for the club in the late 2000s.
FC Dordoi
Founded in 1997, Dordoi initially represented the city of Naryn, but they are now the Bishkek-based powerhouse of the Kyrgyz Premier League, boasting several of the best players in the country and winning trophy after trophy.
They've won 12 league titles in the last 17 years and are the only club from Kyrgyz Republic to have won continental silverware, lifting the AFC President's Cup in both 2006 and 2007.
FC Alay
Osh, Kyrgyz Republic
The pride of Kyrgyz Republic's south, Alay were founded in 1960 and have taken the city of Osh all the way to intercontinental competition.
The club never reached the top levels of Soviet football, but their most successful era came in the mid 2010s, when they won four Kyrgyz Republic league titles from 2013 to 2017 and participated in five editions of the AFC Cup.
FC Ravshan
Kulob, Tajikistan
Founded in the mid-1960s, Ravshan – meaning 'bright' in Tajik language - is based in the Khatlon region of southern Tajikistan and has a passionate and loyal following in the area.
One of the first Central Asian clubs to participate in continental competition when they made their Asian Cup Winners' Cup debut in 1994, Ravshan went on to win league titles in 2012 and 2013, and just this season added another Tajik Cup and earned promotion back to the top level of league football in the nation.
FC Nasaf
Qarshi, Uzbekistan
Hailing from the south of Uzbekistan, Nasaf have never won their domestic league, but have a strong following and an especially proud history in Asian competitions.
They went all the way to the semi-finals of the Asian Club Championship in 2002, but Nasaf's finest hour came when they won the 2011 AFC Cup final against Kuwait SC, with a packed Markaziy Stadium roaring their local heroes to a 2-1 win, making Nasaf the first and only Central Asian club to win the competition.
FC Istiklol
The modern football power club in Tajikistan, FC Istiklol have little other than success since their November 2007 establishment, winning nine top division league titles including the last seven in a row.
AFC President's Cup winners in 2012, Istiklol hosted AFC Cup finals in 2015 and 2017 but, in front of 20,000-strong crowds, they fell to narrow 1-0 defeats on both occasions.
Altyn Asyr
Ashgabat, Turkmenistan
Meaning "golden age" in Turkmen language, Altyn Asyr have become the most dominant club in the modern era of Turkmen football, recently overtaking FC Kopetdag as the Yokary Liga's most successful club.
Featuring the bulk of the Turkmenistan national team, 2020 saw Altyn Asyr seal an unprecedented seventh successive league title. They also became the first club from Turkmenistan to reach the AFC CupfFinal in 2018, with the Ashgabat club hopeful of become AFC Champions League regulars in the near future.
FC Navbahor
Namangan, Uzbekistan
Founded as Tekstilshchik in the 1970s, the club later known as Navbahor rose from regional competition in Namangan to eventually reach the Soviet First League in 1991, and later the semi-finals of the 1999/2000 Asian Cup Winners' Cup.
From Uzbekistan's east, Navbahor have remained a strongly supported club, becoming league champions in 1996 and finishing in the top three 10 times since the nation became independent.
FC Istaravshan
Istaravshan, Tajikistan
Located in the north of Tajikistan and sandwiched between the borders of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyz Republic is Istaravshan, a footballing hotbed and the final team in our list.
A club in Istaravshan has existed since 1938, achieving particular success in the Tajik SSR championships of the 1980s, and while the modern iteration of the local club has had a complicated history – including spending time away from competition due to bankruptcy – Istaravshan are now once again a top level club, and one which retains significant support.

What Makes a Book a "Living Book?"
Some books are so so engaging, so classic, and so endearing that they deserve the label living books. Any genre or form can be a living book (or not): fiction or non-fiction, prose or poetry.
But not all books are living books.
Charlotte Mason, the British educator, is the person who coined the term living books. The descriptions of living books here are based on her explanations.
Living books speak to your heart as well as to your head. They touch on deep feelings and classic themes that all of humanity can relate to -- justice, love, reality, hope.
A good test of a living book is its appeal factor. Does it appeal only to small children or only to teens? If so, it is probably not a living book. A living book can be appreciated on different levels by different readers. A child enjoys the suspense and characterizations. A teen can appreciate the symbolism and timeless themes.
Is there a book that you read as a child and then reread as an adult, enjoying it much more the second time through? That is a living book.
Living books make statements. They are not preachy; the important themes are skillfully woven into the story. But there is something meaty there to be had. A living book is more than entertainment. A living book holds truth within its pages.
Because living books say important things, they make you think. The ideas are worthy ones, things to wrestle with, to savor, to ponder. The book itself doesn't have to be complicated with long, complex sentences and advanced vocabulary. But the ideas within a living book are substantial.
A living book sticks with you long after you read it. Months and even years later, you still have images of scenes from the book which bring back certain themes or emotions.
A living book is layered with literal and abstract meanings. This is why a living book appeals to all ages -- there is something for everyone. Every time you read it, you glean something fresh because there are many levels of understanding.
A living book is so real that you create an emotional attachment to the characters and setting. You hate for the book to end because the experience of reading it is just so enjoyable.
How will you know if a book is a living book or is twaddle? You can take the recommendations of others as a guide. If a picture book or novel is frequently mentioned in homeschooling circles and is often in curriculum booklists, then it has a good chance of being a living book.
However, the only sure way to know is to read the book yourself and make an assesesment. There is truly no substitute for being an informed parent. So as much as possible, preview all the books you offer to your children.
In homeschooling circles, especially among Charlotte Mason educators, people often throw around this term "living book" in contrast to "twaddle." Twaddle is the opposite of a living book.
Twaddle may appeal at the entertainment level, but it provides little long-term value to the reader. An example of twaddle would be the Junie B. Jones book series.
A good test to determine if a book is living or twaddle book is this: Can the book be enjoyed by both the parent and the child simultaneously? If the book has a story that engages a small child and has the depth to satisfy an adult reader, then that book is likely a living book.
Twaddle is insipid, predictable, ordinary, dull, or shallow. Books that are twaddle generally lack moral value. That is not to say that they are immoral but that they don't offer the reader any grand ideals to aspire to.
And don't be misled that just because a book is old that it is not twaddle. There is "vintage" twaddle just as there is modern twaddle.
Love the word "twaddle" can't wait to use it with our book group!
I love both definitions! As a new homeschooler I've often wondered what makes a living book and how to find them. Thanks for the tips.
I think this is a great label. I have read many books and book series that I would consider living books.
I'd never heard of this label, 'living book' before. Now I'll be thinking about that when I pick up my book again.

French Learning Scenario:
Authors: Dorothy Cox & Leah Sequeira
In this unit, students learn about the provinces of France, thoroughly researching one of them. They write a persuasive argument to an imaginary committee who will be choosing the route for the next Tour de France. Their task is to convince the committee to include their town and province in the route. After the committee chooses the top 4 towns/provinces, the class plays the Tour des provinces game (see Activity Set 3) to reinforce what has been learned.
ACTIVITY SET 1: Introduction to the Tour de France
To activate learners' background knowledge about the Tour de France, students watch several segments of videotaped footage from television coverage of the event. Afterwards, classmates share what they know about the Tour. (Many students are avid cyclists and "experts" on the topic, and most others know something about the race thanks to Lance Armstrong.) Next, students check the official Tour de France Web site (see Resources for URL) to discover the race's route in years past. Each group looks up a different year and records and shares the names of the regions through which the racers passed.
ACTIVITY SET 2: Province Proposals
In order to prepare for their persuasive arguments on why the committee should route the Tour through their region, pairs of students choose one of the 22 French provinces to study. (There should be no duplications.) Each pair collects information from library sources and the Internet in order to prepare a class presentation that includes the following six categories: terrain, weather, accommodations, food, things to do, and sites to see. Each presentation needs to contain the same assigned categories. Teams develop their proposal in French in the form of a persuasive argument that they present orally to the "committee"—the other students. To help classmates as they listen to the presentation, each team provides a handout for note-taking with a list of topics to be covered and a short list of key vocabulary words that may be unfamiliar. Each "proposal" includes information vital in attracting the committee's attention: the benefits to tourism, availability of accommodations, and sources of revenue such as businesses located in that province that could sponsor the race. The oral presentations allow students to show their creativity as they deliver their message using music, poetry, colorful visual aids, realia, or PowerPoint slide shows and by dressing professionally and perhaps even preparing regional food as a form of "persuasion."
ACTIVITY SET 3: Determining the Tour's Route
When it is time for the committee to hear proposals, a large map of France is taped to the board so the students may identify their city and province as they make their oral presentation in French. The "committee" (other students) takes notes on the handout provided. Later, these notes will help them ask relevant questions and rank their preferences. After each presentation, each team of "committee members" is required to ask one follow-up question in French for clarification; the presenting pairs answer spontaneously. Once all presentations have been made, students rank the proposals, and the top four sites are chosen to be included in the route for the Tour de France. In addition to their rankings, teams give a written justification for their top four choices by listing pros and noting potential cons on their ballots. (The written justification requires students to use their higher level thinking skills to come to a decision.) Once the votes are counted and the sites have been determined, students draw the route between the selected sites on the large classroom map with a total of five stops including Paris as the finish.
ACTIVITY SET 4: Tour des provinces
To reinforce what students have learned about the various French provinces, they participate in their own Tour des provinces, a game (ideally played outside) in which they complete a learning activity at each station along the route. Each activity is based on information given in the student presentations and is described below.
To begin, the teacher identifies five learning stations that represent Paris and the four other stops chosen for the Tour, and students make signs to identify the stops. The game takes place over a period of four days. On day one, students go from station one to station two; the winning pair of this leg of the race gets to wear the maillot vert (green T-shirt) during the second leg. On the second day, students go from station two to station three with the winners that day receiving the green T-shirts during the third leg, etc., through day four. On day four, however, the overall winners are awarded the coveted maillots jaunes (yellow T-shirts) worn by the winner of the Tour. The activities for the four days are as follows:
Day 1: Map Puzzle
Students are provided a copy of the map of France with the provinces outlined, one per team. They have three minutes to study the map as a team. They then cut apart their maps on the province borders and put the pieces in an envelope. (Maps last longer if they are laminated before students cut them apart.) At station one, students wait for the signal to start and then open their envelope and put the puzzle together. When they have finished, they run to station two where the winners are awarded the green T-shirts.
Day 2: Map Puzzle and Matching Province to Fact
In order to create the Matching Province to Fact game, prepare a list of provinces studied and one distinguishing fact about each one. Photocopy the list (one per student pair), separate the provinces from the facts (cut them apart), and put the separated pieces into envelopes for the teams. When the signal is given at station two, students begin by repeating the Map Puzzle game from Day One. Once they have completed the map, they return the pieces to the envelope and give it to the teacher in exchange for the envelope with the Matching Provinces to Fact game. The students match each province with its fact, then they run to station three. The teacher checks their work. If it is not correct, the team is disqualified. The winners for the day are awarded the green T-shirts.
Day 3: Map Puzzle, Matching Province to Fact, and Categories
In order to create the Categories game, the teacher chooses any six of the presented provinces to use in creating a chart which is photocopied for each group. On the chart, the selected provinces are listed across the top, and six categories (terrain, weather, accommodation, food, things to do, things to see) are listed on the vertical axis. At station three, at the signal, students again play the Map Puzzle game, returning the pieces to the teacher in exchange for the Matching Provinces to Fact game as on Day Two. When they have matched provinces to facts, they return those pieces to the envelope and the envelope to the teacher in exchange for the Categories game chart. Since this is a timed activity, the teacher can assign one or two students to help check answers.
On the chart, students are required to fill in one piece of information for each province, but they must not repeat categories. For example, if they complete the terrain category for les Alpes, they may not complete the same category for any of the other five provinces listed. They have only six answers total on their completed sheet, one per province. When they finish, they turn in their chart to the teacher and run to station four. If their work is incorrect, the team is disqualified. The winners for the day are awarded the green T-shirts.
Day 4: All in One
In order to create the All in One game, the teacher provides each team with an unlabeled map of France with the provinces outlined. At station four, at the signal, the teams label each province studied and write one identifying fact that they learned about it. The teacher may specify from which category the facts must come or may allow students to select any fact that they remember. When they have completed the map, they turn it in and sprint for "Paris." Their work is checked, and if it is incorrect, the team is disqualified. The winners for the day will be awarded the green T-shirts, and the overall winners the yellow T-shirts. A picture of the winners and the other participants is taken and sent to local news media or the school newspaper.
Comparisons: Concept of Culture
Tourism information books about France, Michelin guides
Travel videos about France
Internet access for research of provinces
Map of France showing provinces
Supplies for activities: photocopies of maps, envelopes, list of facts from presentations, charts, etc.
Green and yellow T-shirts to award to the winners
Communication: Interpersonal mode is used in group work as students create their proposals. Interpretive mode is used in research. Presentational mode is used in the proposal presented for the committee.
Cultures: Students learn about the practices, products, and perspectives of the people and places they study related to their provinces.
Connections: Access to information in French allows students to learn about the history of their province and learn the geography of France.
Comparisons: Students compare their culture to the culture of the province they research and compare the cultures of the various provinces.
Communities: Students use French to participate in cultural activities such as cooking and music representing the different provinces of France.
At the conclusion of the Tour des provinces race, the students should be very familiar with the provinces of France. A "Jeopardy" game could be created including all of the information learned in preparation for a unit test.
Have a "Food Day" where the students bring food representing the provinces they have studied.

HMV denies X Factor fix after posting Amelia Lily's 'winner's single'
The music chain denies being part of an X Factor fix after allowing pre-orders for the winner's single – days before they're crowned.

Amelia Lily's 'winner's single' was available for pre-order on HMV.com - with no similar offering for the other two finalists.
MUSIC RETAILER HMV has denied being part of an elaborate ruse to fix the winner of this year's X Factor competition – after shoppers spotted the store allowing pre-orders for the winner's single from one of the contestants.
Users browsing the chain's online store noticed that the site was accepting pre-orders for the winner's single, apparently to be performed by 17-year-old Amelia Lily Oliver.
This was despite the live finals of this year's ITV contest not taking place until this weekend – with the winner expected to be crowned after Sunday's grand finale.
The development prompted accusations of a fix from many observers – and prompted HMV's website to crash under the weight of users seeking to verify that the single was still for sale.
The retailer said, however, that it was in the process of adding pre-order facilities for all three finalists – and that the increased traffic to the website meant it didn't get a chance to add similar singles for the other finalists, Marcus Collins and Little Mix.
In a statement posted to its Twitter account, HMV said:

Q: SQL ORDER BY WHEN TIES I am organizing by points, but if there is a tie score I want it organized alphabetically
group by points
ORDER BY avg_points DESC, last_name DESC;

It does not seem to work correctly. That I am receiving scores with a tied average points, but not ordered correctly by last name. For example, I would have Adams before Smith if they both had a score of 5 points.

A: In SQL ordering of alphabetical data, DESC goes from Z-A, ASC goes from A-Z. Try this:
group by points
ORDER BY avg_points DESC, last_name ASC;

Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch in Bon Voyage, Bob… at Sadler's Wells

Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch: Bon Voyage, Bob…, Sadler's Wells, February 22

The two full-length works created last year on Pina Bausch's company by choreographers Dimitris Papaioannou and Alan Lucien Øyen and presented recently at Sadler's Wells mark a watershed in the company's post-Bausch existence. Bausch died in June 2009 and while both the current works deal with her death they do so in inverse ways. In Since She Papaioannou creates a memorial to Bausch in which his half of the company (each choreographer has a cast of sixteen dancers) is working with him from the outside looking in. By contrast in Bon Voyage, Bob… Øyen has created a memorial in which his half of the company is still very much on the inside looking out. There is a clear sense that ten years after her sudden disappearance Papaioannou and Øyen have each allowed the company to publicly commemorate Bausch in works she has not authored, but their respective creative approach suggests that closure for the entire company has not yet been realised.
Øyen accepted without hesitation the invitation to choreograph a new piece for the company as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He knew Bausch's work mostly through videos, and had only seen the company perform seven years after the choreographer's death but, as Sarah Crompton observes in the program, his creative approach turned out to be close to Bausch's own method of gathering material from the dancers and slowly weaving their different narratives into a work. Bon Voyage, Bob… is thus uncannily Bauschian in its shape and vocabulary, with her characteristic intersection of theatre and dance — so much so that Øyen's cast gives the appearance of having choreographed much of the work themselves. Its form resembles a long psychoanalytical session in which the dancers replay the past in the present with an overwhelming sense of resignation; dreams fail to realize because 'they have already been dreamt'.
Alex Eales' set is designed as the backstage area of an unseen work (presumably by Bausch) whose scenes revolve to be used as the backdrop to the company's own existential drama; it is as if Bon Voyage, Bob… comes together whenever the dancers happen to be off stage. Andrey Berezin is the psychoanalyst in the first scene firing questions at Héléna Pikon sitting across from him at a table recounting the death of her brother. Throughout there is a feeling of guilt, helplessness, and disquiet as memories of dead brothers, dead fathers, and stories of loss become the displaced tropes of Bausch's own death. Øyen structures the work as a linked ritual of obsequies that allows each of the sixteen dancers to express their feelings in solos of either verbal narrative or movement. It is especially poignant to see the older members of the company speaking Bausch's gestures naturally through their bodies while the younger dancers who never knew her, such as Çaǧdaş Ermis and Stephanie Troyak, absorb them with stunning eloquence.
However the 'work' of mourning that Bon Voyage, Bob… represents does not seem to have enabled what, in psychoanalytic terms, would be a 'working through' the suffering that can lead to new levels of freedom and expression. When Rainer Behr angrily assembles a pile of chairs shouting, 'This is all our shit!', the depth of pain ten years after the event is heartbreakingly palpable, but it is also clear how far Øyen has retreated from this deeply personal outpouring. And as if three hours of saying goodbye is not enough to make the point, he allows an empty chair to remain in the spotlight as the curtain falls around which the company reassembles for the bows.
The works of Papaioannou and Øyen leave us inevitably with questions about the current state of the company and how it will proceed. Papaioannou suggests a way forward with the creative adoption of Bausch's incredible legacy of dancers in alternative forms, while Øyen offers a solution that too easily resembles the former company in a new theatrical image. While it is impossible to know what Bausch would have wanted for her company after her death, it is doubtful she would have wished for it to be trapped in forever looking back; and yet her legacy is so intimately related to her works that finding a way forward without her is still fraught with challenges.

A billionaire-owned restaurant charged a 'minimum wage' fee. Outrage ensued.
A customer's receipt from the Oceanaire pointed out a peculiar surcharge (Courtesy of Brian)
By Maura Judkis

Updated Aug. 18, 3:45 p.m.
A customer dining at D.C.'s Oceanaire restaurant noticed an unusual line at the bottom of his receipt: "Due to the rising costs of doing business in this location, including costs associated with higher minimum wage rates, a 3% surcharge has been added to your total bill." Brian, who asked The Washington Post to use only his first name to avoid conflicts with his employer, was surprised to see the additional charge. He snapped a picture and sent it to local blog Popville, which posted a picture of his receipt. The outraged comments started rolling in.
"Just raise prices if you need to, don't try to slip this in under the radar and then pretty much blame [it] on employees who need to make a living!" wrote one commenter. "I have no problem paying high prices to support better wages, but I do have a major problem with this sort of deceptive business practice," said another. A third put it succinctly: "Take your political statement and shove it."
[The new political battleground: Your restaurant receipt]
The Oceanaire is owned by Landry's, a company whose chief executive, Tilman Fertitta, stars on CNBC's "Billion Dollar Buyer" and has been called "America's richest restaurateur." The company owns other chains, including Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Mastro's, McCormick & Schmick's and the Rainforest Cafe, plus Morton's, where readers have spotted a similar charge in the D.C. area. Fertitta has spoken out numerous times about increases to the minimum wage.
"I have no issue with raising minimum wage," Fertitta said to CNBC in 2014, "but then the customer can't say to us, 'Why are you raising your prices?' " He called the minimum wage a "training wage" on Fox Business. (He also told CNBC last month that he thinks President Trump is doing "a great job.")
But instead of raising menu prices, Fertitta's restaurant appears to have tacked on the 3 percent surcharge — along with language that some interpret as shifting the blame to employees. It's not the first time a receipt has been used to communicate a political position — this spring saw several restaurants posting messages about immigration on their receipts. Some restaurants have also instituted a similar surcharge, but with a different aim: AOC in Los Angeles has a 3.5 percent surcharge "to cover a large portion of full health care benefits for our full-time employees," a notice on the menu reads. A group of Minneapolis restaurants recently instituted a 3 percent surcharge for health insurance, too.
The surcharge is noted on Oceanaire menus for San Diego and Boston, in very fine print at the bottom. As of Thursday, it was not noted on the D.C. menu, and Brian said he didn't see it noted on the menu during his meal, although a statement from the restaurant said it was communicated via "signage in the restaurant."
"I didn't see signage either, as we were seated in the back right of the restaurant. Also, nothing on the hostess stand," noted Brian, who dined there for D.C.'s restaurant week.
The representative did not respond to a question asking how long the surcharge had been in effect.
[There isn't a "restaurant bubble." It's just a tough industry getting tougher.]
But it's now been removed, at least in Washington. When contacted by The Post, Landry's issued a statement from Tim Whitlock, senior vice president of operations and chief operating officer of the Oceanaire:
Due to the restaurant industry's competitive market, we decided this was a temporary and nominal surcharge. The Oceanaire is committed to being transparent with our patrons and noted the surcharge on our menu, the customer's bill and signage in the restaurant. In response to recent feedback, we have chosen to remove this surcharge effective immediately and will explore more traditional means to address the industry's rising costs, such as raising menu prices.
An Oceanaire representative said the surcharge would be removed in all locations of the restaurant.
One day after this story was published, Landry's reached out with a second statement, this one from Fertitta:
With more than 500 properties, I rely upon the decisions of others to help run my day to day operations for Landry's. Unfortunately, I was not made aware of the surcharge that was put in place at my Oceanaire restaurants and the management team has been reprimanded. I ask that all customers who still have their receipt, please return to their nearest location and we will happily refund the surcharge amount. This additional cost has been removed from all Landry's restaurants effective immediately.
The minimum wage in Washington is $12.50 and will rise to $15 by 2020, according to legislation from the D.C. Council approved last year. The minimum wage for tipped workers in D.C. is $3.33, and will reach $5 by 2020.
A study earlier this year found that minimum wage hikes can force restaurants to close, as restaurateurs have been warning us for years — but typically only bad restaurants. "Among 3.5-star restaurants, every $1 increase in the minimum wage increases the restaurant's chances of closing by 14 percent," wrote The Post's Caitlin Dewey. The Oceanaire currently has 3.5 stars on Yelp.
