DiFiore Marquet
Restaurants DiFiore Marquet
A quaint cafe nestled in the midst of the West and East Villages.
East Village Description
DiFiore Marquet is located in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan. Long before the musical "Rent" brought in legions of pierced, tattooed teenagers from every corner of America (and drove up the rents), the East Village was an eclectic mix of elderly Ukranians and Poles, Dominican and Puerto Rican families, and assorted artists, wanna-be bohemians, punks, their followers, lovers and friends. (Did we leave anyone out?) Largely gone are the heroin dealers, all night parties, punk music extravaganzas and infamous Bagel Tree of the 1980s and early 1990s, but the real landmarks remain, including the Joseph Papp Public Theater, Tompkins Square Park, and Cooper Union. The Public offers some of New York's finest Off-Broadway Theater as well as Joe's Pub, with a diverse variety of live shows. Beautiful Tompkins Square Park offers something for everyone, including dog runs, basketball courts, a weekly market, outdoor music events, and occasionally local characters chatting late into the night to infrequent riots. To be fair, few other parks in America have played such an important role in radical or anarchist history.
Many long-time residents complain of the neighborhood's recent gentrification, and skyrocketing rents forced even legendary punk club CBGB's to exit the neighborhood, replaced by a John Varvatos boutique. And while there are truly many new restaurants and boutiques dotting Avenues A, B and C, lots of the famous watering holes, dives, and other unclassifiably scrappy bars remain. Some of our favorites include Mars on lower First Avenue, Zum Schneider on Avenue C, 2A on the corner of Second Street and Avenue A, and Lit Lounge, with its adjoining Fuse Gallery. Make sure to check out the Polish butcher stores on First Avenue and the nearby Italian pastry shops, walk along the Ukranian strip of Second Avenue, try one of the Japanese restaurants on East Ninth Street, and also walk along St. Marks Place, one of New York's most eclectic streets.
East 4th Street's Theater Row boasts cultural buildings which house eight theaters and twelve dance companies as well as a couple of community development groups. Among its members are New York Theater Workshop, La MaMa Experimental Theatre, Rod Rodgers Dance Co., WOW Cafe Theatre, Millennium Film Workshop, Duo Multicultural Arts Center, Teatro Circulo, Downtown Art, Alpha Omega Dance Co., Choices Theater, Teatro IATI, Cooper Square Committee and Cooper Square Mutual Housing Association.
The Nuyorican Poets Café is still going strong on East Third Street between Avenues B and C. Since 1973 its mission has been to create a multi-cultural venue that provides a stage for artists traditionally underrepresented in the mainstream media and culture. Poetry slams, theater performances, open jam sessions for hip-hop, poetry and jazz, as well as unique screenplay readings all take place on a weekly basis in this intimate cultural setting.
For film buffs, we would be remiss not to mention the Anthology Film Archives on East 2nd Street, a local theater best known for consistently showing the finest in avant-garde and experimental cinema. We also recommend the Landmark Sunshine Cinema on East Houston Street, home away from home for those who enjoy great acoustics and the company of die hard independent film fans.
The East Village is also home to the trendy Cooper Square Hotel as well as the charming Gem Hotel, making it a great neighborhood to enjoy your stay in New York.

A surge of smartwatch sales in 2017 propels Apple past Fitbit and into the top spot in the global wearables market, says International Data Corporation.
The Apple Watch Series 3 likely pushed Apple's numbers over the top in late 2017.
The worldwide market for wearable tech grew by 10.3 percent in 2017, according to new data from the International Data Corporation, a global provider of market intelligence. Moreover, Apple surged past Fitbit and Xiaomi to claim the top spot thanks to an uptick in Apple Watch sales.
"Interest in smartwatches continues to grow and Apple is well-positioned to capture demand," Ramon T. Llamas, research director for IDC's wearables team, said in the report, adding that Apple "pounced" on the demand for cellular connectivity and streaming multimedia. "What will bear close observation is how Apple will iterate upon these and how the competition chooses to keep pace," Llamas said.
The report also notes that the 10.3 percent growth in 2017 is a marked decline from the year before, which saw global growth of 27.3 percent. That's a result of numerous vendors exiting the market altogether, Llamas wrote, noting that new vendors and new models are already moving to replace them.
"The next generation of wearables will make the ones we saw as recently as 2016 look quaint," he predicted.
Apple took over the top spot in the final few months of the year after spending several quarters nipping at Fitbit's and Xiaomi's heels. All told, Apple moved 8 million units in the last three months of 2017-- up 57.5 percent from the year before, and good for a 21 percent market share.

Q: PostgreSQL: Extending database storage when disk is full I have a database that takes about 60GB in my disk storage. And it doesn't alow to insert into database anymore.
I have read the documentation about tablespaces link But It's like create space for a new table, whereas I want to continue insert into exist table. Could somebody help me out?
In addition, PostgreSQL database maximum is 64TB, so we have to connect many HDDs to achieve 64TB, then the solution could be apply to this situation (many connected HDDs or shared storage, I'm not sure how to say)
Thanks in advance!
PS: I'm working with postgreSQL 9.2 on ubuntu 12.04 LTS

A: PostgreSQL doesn't support spanning a single table over multiple tablespaces directly.
You can use table partitioning to create a "master" table, with child tables on different tablespaces. It's a bit tricky and it means you can't use foreign keys or enforce a proper unique constraint on the primary key, so it's not generally the preferred option.
A more practical option is usually to use a logical volume manager, RAID system, or similar to span multiple physical disks into a single volume, with a single file-system on it. Then PostgreSQL just uses it like anything else and doesn't need to care. On Linux, this might mean LVM, the md software RAID driver in raid0 mode, btrfs, or all sorts of other options. Most (all) of these require you to build a new filesystem then move the PostgreSQL database onto it, you can't convert a regular filesystem that's directly on top of a partition into a raid volume / logical volume / etc.
Note that neither of these options are safe if the additonal storage is removable. If you remove a disk containing a tablespace, or remove part of a logical volume or spanned raid, your entire database will become inacessible. If you lose the disk/volume or its data, the entire DB will be unrecoverable.

A: You are correct, tablespaces only allow moving entire tables to new drives / file systems, not extending existing the space for existing ones.
In theory you could muck around with symlinks to move individual postgresql data files to other drives manually, but that could be problematic (and must be done while postgresql is not running).

A: You can run vacummn analyze command on the table so that it release the stale memory(not in use or space required by table for rows which are deleted) which can be used to add new row into table.

An historic house is under constant pressure from changes in the culture, which require interventions to accommodate modern tastes and technology. Nowhere is this so evident as in the kitchen and bathroom, where the space required seems to expand decade by decade to provide room for more cabinetry, appliances and fixtures.
What all these expanded and updated spaces require first of all is is a perfectly level platform, so that all cabinetry and fixtures can be uniformly flush and aligned. One of the carpenter's first tasks is to level the floor, correcting the deviations that time and gravity have imposed. In this 1877 Victorian on Brattle St, we took down a wall to expand the room's footprint to include a laundry. Here we see the carpenter leveling the combined floors to a uniform height.
This image is a bit disorienting, as we are looking down through the second floor into the first floor space, as the ceiling below has been opened for a lighting upgrade. We can also see a bearing wall below. Such rough openings give us a glimpse into the past, and the changes in the way that we live, and build, over the last one hundred and forty some years.

"a delight from bowsprit to sternpost"
Audrey review: Kate Gaul's production of Gilbert and Sullivan's nautical comedy turns the topsy-turvy inside out.
Show: H.M.S. Pinafore
Company: Hayes Theatre Company
Where: Glen St Theatre, Belrose, Sydney
When: 20 - 22 Feb 2020
By: Jason Blake
Date: 14 Nov 2019
Turning the topsy-turvy of W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan's 1878 operetta inside out, this saucy staging of H.M.S. Pinafore is a delight from bowsprit to sternpost.
Pinafore was Gilbert and Sullivan's first hit and set a template for much of what was to come from that extraordinary artistic partnership. It melds jaunty melodies, acrobatic lyricism and a featherweight story into a comic satire on Victorian society, English Exceptionalism and, in this case, the incompetence of its hierarchy, summed up here in the knob-polisher turned First Lord of the Fleet Sir Joseph Porter.
Director Kate Gaul has pressed a multi-talented cast into the service of a Pinafore reworked for 11 performers and a mutable onstage band anchored by pianist and singer Zara Stanton. Not everyone comes complete with a fully formed set of D'Oyly-Carte-approved vocal pipes but all are versatile comic actors, singers and musicians.
Soprano Katherine Allen does have that set of pipes, by the way, and she deploys them splendidly as Josephine. She has a striking stage presence, too, and her portrayal of this flower of British maidenhood is anything but winsome.
She's ably partnered by Billie Palin, who gives a boisterous account of Ralph, the jolly Jack Tar of uncertain parentage who has captured her heart, and by Tobias Cole as her father, the upstanding Captain Corcoran.
I can't imagine the young and chiselled Rory O'Keeffe ever imagined he would be playing Sir Joseph Porter while still in his twenties but his zesty portrayal – one that begins with him stripped to the waist – is a welcome change from the usual doddering and moustache twirling. He even whips out a guitar.
Unusually for this venue of late, all of the music and singing is unamplified, which lends the event a pleasing sense of immediacy and intimacy.
Thomas Campbell manages to bring something of the Widow Twankey to Little Buttercup without obliterating her humanity entirely, and there's colourful support from an endlessly busy ensemble comprising Gavin Brown, Dominic Lui, Zach Selmes, Sean Luther Hall (a growling, halitosis-stricken Dick Dead Eye), Bobbie-Jean Henning and Jermaine Chau.
Production designer Melanie Liertz's costuming – ranging from period to contemporary nightclub and drag is first rate. Ash Bee's choreography exhibits a similar range of styles (from nautical nonsense to bump-and-grind) and is great fun to watch.

Jennifer Lee and Michael Staton came to Learn Capital from different backgrounds — she spent her career in finance and he started out as a teacher. But both have a similar passion for exploring how technology can improve education and make learning more accessible for students of all ages.Their firm, San Mateo–based Learn Capital, funds startups that do exactly that.
We had a recent chat with Jennifer, a principal with the firm, and Michael, a firm partner, about how the state of education is changing, the opportunities and challenges facing education technology (ed tech) founders, and the pair's best advice for startups in this rapidly evolving space.
We're at a place where technology can help differentiate not just how education is delivered, it can also decrease the amount of time it takes to learn something.
First, can you each discuss a bit of your background?
Jennifer: I come from a finance background; I started my career as a strategist at Lehman Brothers for the U.S. Treasury, Treasury futures and swaps markets. Since then I've been moving into less liquid markets, working in private debt and equity, and now venture capital. Prior to joining Learn Capital, I was consulting with a company that did impact advising. It's important to me to find a firm and sector that makes a positive impact through its investments.
Michael: I actually started as a classroom teacher in a public school in Houston. I saw a lot of challenges that I had entrepreneurial ideas for, and I eventually started to develop web applications to help solve some of those challenges. In 2006, a friend called me from a (then) little-known company called Facebook and said that I should come out to Silicon Valley. I ended up founding and running a company for four years and later started at Learn Capital as an entrepreneur-in-residence.
Your website notes that "we're in the middle of one of the greatest revolutions in the history of education." Can you explain what that means?
Jennifer: Historically education has been a singularly offered good; it's very local, with one person speaking to many, and that's how people are expected to learn. In reality, people learn in such a variety of different ways — and there are so many different things that people want to learn about. So now we're at a place where technology can help differentiate not just how education is delivered, it can also decrease the amount of time it takes to learn something. For example, we're now able to take someone who has never learned to code, put them in a three-month course and significantly increase their employability.
Michael: I agree. When talking about the ed tech revolution, I often use an analogy about food. For 300 to 400 years, the only options we had for food were local staples. Now our selection is overly abundant and you have an overwhelming amount of choices. Similarly, after centuries of education being delivered primarily by a local school, there's now a huge amount of diversity in how, what, when and where you can learn.
Where do you see the most activity within the ed tech space?
Michael: There's a lot of demand coming from capable learners who want to have the skill sets relevant to growth industries such as computer science, and tech companies that help consumers re-skill into those fields have progressed significantly over the past few years.
Jennifer: People also have been moving from job to job more frequently, and as they do, they want to ensure that their skills keep pace with the industry. I also think companies recognize that helping their employees grow and improve can be a powerful retention tool. Overall, including in K-12, we've seen a growing interest in tools that help older and younger learners personalize their education.
Learn Capital has made investments in AltSchool, Coursera and ClassDojo, just to name a few. What qualities do you look for in startups?
Michael: We are typically looking for early leaders in a category that is just getting off the ground. Because our name is well-known in ed tech, founders often come to us with their ideas.
Jennifer: Yes, for instance, the idea of a cloud-powered school and the technologies behind that is something we've been very excited about for a while. Bridge International Academies is a great example; they offer primary education in Kenya for six dollars a month. They use technology to gather data, improve their performance and scale their product. Now they're one of the fastest growing school chains in the world, and they're outperforming local public school options.
What common challenges do ed tech founders face — and how does Learn Capital help?
Michael: The typical challenge is that you either have great tech entrepreneurs who don't appreciate the complexity of the education space, or you have the reverse — educational experts who don't understand the technology requirements of the startup world. It can be hard to find a company whose founders have effectively paired that level of tech savvy with an understanding of the industry.
In addition, people sometimes struggle with the fact that the decision-maker or buyer is not the end user for many of these products. Often, the most exciting business models are a little different, and that can be tough from a sales perspective.
In terms of how we help, I think the most important role we play is in setting expectations. In that way, being a VC and being a teacher are similar — we want to set high expectations and provide a pathway for achieving them.
Finally, what advice do you have for aspiring ed tech founders, especially those raising capital?
Jennifer: Just like it's important to understand the market you're selling into, I think it's critical to understand the sources of your capital and make sure that you are finding capital that's aligned with your goals. Founders also need to understand how much capital they need to hit their next milestone and not overspend to ensure they have enough funds to get there.

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's last-ditch effort to revive his ambitious plans for the West Side railyards ended on Tuesday after Tishman Speyer Properties failed to come to terms with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority on a $1 billion deal.
In an attempt to salvage the project, the transportation authority quickly reopened talks that same day with four other developers — Douglas Durst, Extell Development Company, Stephen M. Ross and Steven Roth — who had also bid for the rights to build a small city of office towers and apartment houses on a platform over the 26-acre railyards.
But even if a new deal can be struck, it will almost certainly be for less than the $1 billion promised by Tishman Speyer, real estate executives said, because the uncertainty created by the sluggish economy and tight credit markets has only grown since Tishman Speyer won the bidding in March. Most lenders have become skeptical about real estate and are increasingly refusing to finance speculative projects.
The authority and Tishman Speyer had broken off talks last week when they were unable to complete a conditional designation letter, the next step in reaching a formal contract to build 13 million square feet of office towers, apartment houses and parks over the railyards, which lie on both sides of 11th Avenue between 30th and 33rd Streets.
M.T.A. officials said they ended negotiations after Tishman Speyer tried to change the terms of the March 26 agreement in ways that would have reduced rent payments to the authority in the early years and made it easier for the developer to abandon the project.
Last Friday, Jerry I. Speyer and his son, Rob Speyer, who run Tishman Speyer, flew to London from Milan to meet with Mayor Bloomberg, who urged them to go back to the negotiating table. Although the city does not own the railyards, the development of the site is a key element in the mayor's most ambitious municipal initiative: the transformation of the once industrial Far West Side into the city's next glass-and-steel business district.
The rezoning of a 50-block swath of the West Side for high-rise development in 2005 helped to prompt construction of a number of residential towers. But other elements of the West Side redevelopment plan now lie in a shambles. The state abandoned the long-awaited expansion of the nearby Jacob K. Javits Convention Center this year, and plans for a major transformation of the neighborhood surrounding Pennsylvania Station collapsed in March.
Even before it won the bidding, Tishman Speyer lost its anchor tenant and financial partner, the investment bank Morgan Stanley, when the bank pulled out of the project. The developer then tried to alter the very things that the authority viewed as critical to the deal: certainty of payment and completion of the project.
Tishman Speyer sought unsuccessfully to delay closing on the rights over the yard on the east side of 11th Avenue until it got a zoning change for the western yard, a process that could take 18 months. Under the terms of the deal struck in March, Tishman Speyer would have paid $18.8 million at the closing for the eastern yard later this year, and $24.7 million for the western yard sometime in 2009 or 2010.


The crabs are only thinking about themselves.
Boxer crabs are so named for their colorful "boxing gloves," that are actually living sea anemones.
They also look like cheerleading pom poms, so that's fun.
There are multiple benefits for the crabs to have these anemones chilling on their claws. According to NPR, the crab can "mop" up food particles with the anemones to eat. The stinging limbs protect the crabs from predators.
Here you can see a crab ward off a puffer fish with a stinging jab.
However, scientists haven't quite figured out what's in it for the anemone to live with the crab. Although it can eat bits of the crab's own food, NPR reported that the crabs are very careful about controlling how much their pom poms eat.
For them, it's sort of like caring for a bonsai tree, where they carefully prune and trim it to keep it small.
If the food restriction seems a bit intense, you haven't seen anything yet.
It turns out that when a crab loses one of these anemone poms, all hell breaks loose.
According to Popular Science, scientists studied boxer crabs and found that if they removed an anemone, the crab would immediately begin forcing the anemone to reproduce in order to replace the missing pom.
The University of Alaska Southeast reports that sea anemones can asexually reproduce by splitting lengthwise to create two halves of an anemone that each then can function as their own creature.
Popular Science reported that when the crabs are missing a pom pom, they spur this process along by gently tearing the anemones in two.
Then they'll again have two gloves.
The scientists also found that if both their anemones were removed and they were placed in a tank with a crab that still had two, the pom-less crab would attack the other crab.
It would try to steal pieces of the anemone to start that reproduction process and have two anemones again.
NPR reported that the crabs would initiate these attacks even if the crab with anemones was much bigger.
Getting pieces of those anemones was just that important to them.
According to Popular Science, it's the only known example of one animal forcing asexual reproduction in another species.
For these crabs, the anemones seem to be the ultimate security blanket.

Mozilla rolls out DNS over HTTPS by default for U.S. Firefox users
Mozilla is activating DNS over HTTPS (DoH) by default for all Firefox users in the U.S., nearly two years after the company first started testing the protocol.
DoH, for the uninitiated, is a standard proposed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that promises improved privacy and security by preventing third-parties — such as internet service providers (ISPs) — from seeing what websites users are visiting. As things stand, when someone enter a web address into their browser's address bar, a request is sent across the internet for the IP address associated with that URL — this is traditionally done in plain text, which makes it prone to eavesdropping or manipulation. With DoH, however, this broadcasts the domain name using an "HTTPS" connection to encrypt the data — this makes it harder for outsiders to see what websites users are trying to access.
The DoH protocol isn't without its controversies though. While its intentions may be to thwart bad actors, critics argue that it will also break many of the filtering systems used to prevent easy access illegal content, such as terrorist materials, child abuse imagery, and even optional parental control tools. Indeed, many internet blocking services offered by ISPs rely on the same methods that bad actors use — essentially, hijacking domain name system (DNS) lookups. The Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA), a U.K. body representing ISPs in the country, last year declared Mozilla an "internet villain" for its support of DoH, and Mozilla later announced that it would not activate DoH by default in the U.K. until there was "further engagement with public and private stakeholders".
It's worth noting here that Google is also currently in the process of implementing DoH in Chrome, and as of Chrome 78 which was launched last year the internet giant has used DoH for some users when certain criteria is met.
While Mozilla has been testing DoH in Firefox for some users in recent months, from today the big rollout begins and will continue over the next few weeks to "confirm no major issues are discovered," according to Selena Deckelmann, VP for Firefox desktop product development.

Budeco, the Business Development Company was founded in 2009. The company is led by Marco Frijlink and Wilco Verdoold.
Vision – Mission
Budeco's vision is that organisations need to continuously innovate and grow in order to remain successful. Budeco's mission is to help organisations achieve this in the most effective way. We believe that new business development benefits from a fresh outsider's perspective. After all, in good times, businesses do not have the time to innovate and in tougher times, the focus is often shifted to efficiency. Nothing wrong with that, except for the risk of necessary innovations being postponed for too long. That is where Budeco steps in.

Victory at the OMB – Highrise at 1540 Bloor St. West refused
Excellent news, we won at the OMB for 1540 Bloor Street West! Here is the summary of the decision:
"In the final analysis, the proposed structure of 92.5 metres in height at over 16
times coverage is simply too large for the site and inappropriate for the area. In my
opinion, it is not consistent with the findings and recommendations of the Avenue Study,
it does not conform with the City OP and it does not represent good planning.
Based on all of the foregoing therefore, the proposed development is not
approved and accordingly, the Developer's appeal is dismissed."
This is a tremendous victory for a group of Ward 14 residents who have given thousands of hours of volunteer time, and for the city as a whole.
Please find attached the report from the OMB.

City of Toronto Eco-Roof Incentive Program
Toronto's Eco-Roof Incentive Program now open
The City of Toronto is now accepting applications for its Eco-Roof Incentive Program, an initiative designed to promote the use of green and cool roofs on Toronto's industrial, commercial and institutional buildings, and to help Toronto's business community take action on climate change.
Eligible projects include:
Any green or cool roof on an existing industrial, commercial or institutional building.
Any above grade green roof on a new industrial building with a gross floor area (GFA) of 10,000 m2 (107,600 sq ft) or greater.
Any green roof on a new institutional or commercial building with a GFA of less than 2,000 m2 (21,528 sq ft).
Projects must be above grade; parking garages and at-grade roofs are ineligible.
Owners who install a green roof, which supports vegetation, can apply for a grant of $50 per square metre up to $100,000. Cool roofs, which feature a membrane or coating to reflect the sun's rays, are eligible for $2-5 per square metre up to $50,000.
The benefits of green and cool roofs are many. Both reduce urban heat and associated energy use. Green roofs also help manage stormwater, enhance biodiversity, improve air quality and beautify Toronto.
Applications will be accepted online until April 1, 2010. A second round of funding will be available in the fall.

LA City Clerk Certifies List of Candidates for Sixth District Special Election
by SFVS Staff January 18, 2023 January 18, 2023
LOS ANGELES (CNS) – The City Clerk certified the list of seven candidates for the April 4 special election to represent the Sixth District City Council seat left vacant by Nury Martinez's resignation.
The candidates are:
— Isaac Kim, small business owner;
— Imelda Padilla, community relations manager;
— Rose Grigoryan, social activist/journalist;
— Marisa Alcarez, environmental policy director;
— Antoinette Scully, community organizer/mother;
— Douglas Dagoberto Sierra, father/business consultant; and
— Marco Santana, director of a housing nonprofit.
The special election could cost the city up to $7.65 million, according to a city clerk's office estimate. A runoff, if necessary, will take place on June 27.
The Sixth District — which includes central and eastern portions of the San Fernando Valley — is being overseen by a non-voting caretaker, the city's chief legislative analyst, Sharon Tso. A non-voting caretaker does not hold a seat on the council but oversees the council office to make sure the district provides constituent services and other basic functions.
Martinez, the former council president, resigned for her participation in a leaked audio recording.
The inappropriate conversation that was viewed as racist in October 2021 was secretly recorded. Three days after it circulated, Martinez resigned. Her term was set to expire in December 2024.
The council voted to hold a special election rather than appoint a fill-in council member for the remainder of Martinez's term.

"Providers' response to child eating behaviors: A direct observation st" by Alison Tovar, Amber E. Vaughn et al.
Child care providers play an important role in feeding young children, yet little is known about children's influence on providers' feeding practices. This qualitative study examines provider and child (18 months −4 years) feeding interactions. Trained data collectors observed 200 eating occasions in 48 family child care homes and recorded providers' responses to children's meal and snack time behaviors. Child behaviors initiating provider feeding practices were identified and practices were coded according to higher order constructs identified in a recent feeding practices content map. Analysis examined the most common feeding practices providers used to respond to each child behavior. Providers were predominately female (100%), African-American (75%), and obese (77%) and a third of children were overweight/obese (33%). Commonly observed child behaviors were: verbal and non-verbal refusals, verbal and non-verbal acceptance, being "all done", attempts for praise/attention, and asking for seconds. Children's acceptance of food elicited more autonomy supportive practices vs. coercive controlling. Requests for seconds was the most common behavior, resulting in coercive controlling practices (e.g., insisting child eat certain food or clean plate). Future interventions should train providers on responding to children's behaviors and helping children become more aware of internal satiety and hunger cues.
