Blue Man Group Announces Enhanced Spring Schedule, New Material
Blue Man Group has announced new material and an updated schedule for the spring season as the production continues its open-ended run at the Briar Street Theatre.
While I had never seen the production before (and therefore cannot comment on new material specifically) the show kept the audience engaged and excited throughout. For those who have never experienced the Chicago staple, you can expect an evening of wordless sketch comedy, dancing, and music - all through the lens of a few 90's street artists. The Blue Men must be a hit with fans of Despicable Me's Minions, as their humor is nearly identical. The production is safe for fans of all ages, and the first few rows will get wet. There are also several moments of audience participation (and, well, shaming). Though there are moments of obvious (if not somewhat sexist) humor that fall flat, most of the show will keep you brainlessly chuckling - which is most likely the reason that the show has been around for so long. Read on for more information from the company.
Added spring dates include performances on St. Patrick's Day (March 17) and Easter (April 16). Spring Break audiences looking to make the most of their Chicago experience can take advantage of a variety of ticket packages that Blue Man Group has to offer. Visitors looking to explore the city's landmarks can enjoy special Blue Man Group packages with Skydeck Chicago, 360 Chicago (formerly the John Hancock Observatory) or Chicago Trolley and Double Decker Company. Upon purchasing a ticket for Blue Man Group, guests can receive a free ticket to visit Chicago's Willis Tower Skydeck (where they can step out onto one of the building's "Ledge" glass boxes) or 360 Chicago (for unparalleled views of Michigan Avenue and Lake Michigan). For a unique tour of the city, audience members who purchase Blue Man Group tickets can save 10 percent on single or three-day tour tickets with Chicago Trolley and Double Decker Company.
Those looking to grab a bite before or after a Blue Man Group show can take advantage of dinner packages with Drew's on Halsted and Yoshi's Café, both located steps away from the Briar Street Theatre. To book dinner-show packages, guests can call the Blue Man Group box office to buy their tickets and make their dinner reservation. At Drew's on Halsted, guests will receive an appetizer, entrée, dessert and coffee or tea for $24.95. Yoshi's Café offers a prix fixe dinner including an appetizer, main entrée and dessert for $24.95.
Blue Man Group performances are a celebration of human connection. Mixing art, music, comedy and state-of-the-art technology, the show encourages audiences to reconnect with their inner (and outer) child and see the world through a new perspective. Three bald and blue men explore our cultural norms with wide-eyed wonder, poking fun at our collective quirks and reminding us how much we all have in common. Backed by a live rock band, the Blue Men unify the audience for the show's celebratory climax - an unforgettable, euphoric dance party.
Blue Man Group is continually refreshed with new music, fresh stories and custom instruments. It's a joyful, multi-sensory experience that has performed in over 20 countries and has captivated more than 35 million people of all ages and cultures worldwide.
A full performance schedule for March and April 2017 is outlined below.

Q: pg_dump outputs empty create statements So I am trying to dump a couple of tables from a Redshift database using pg_dump. I am not interested in the data itself here, which will be extracted in a seperate process using UNLOAD.
However, altough pg_dump executes without any errors, the CREATE TABLE statements in the output-sql-script are empty, e.g. I get something like
CREATE TABLE test_data_sampling.orders();

Funnily enough, this is followed by
ALTER TABLE ONLY test_data_sampling.orders ALTER COLUMN orders_id SET NOT NULL;

which seems to indicate that pg_dump is fully aware of at least one column in the table.
My pg_dump call looks like this:
pg_dump -s -t test_data_sampling.customer -t test_data_sampling.orders -t test_data_sampling.addr --dbname=postgresql://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/dbName?ssl=true --file=backup_dbName.sql

When I log into the DB with the same user I specified in the pg_dump call, I can query the tables without any issues (i.e. they do have columns).
My user ist the owner of the tables as well as the owner of the schema.
I am at a loss. Any help would be greatl appreciated.
EDIT:
Some additional information.
The tables in question are the product of a
CREATE TABLE <table> (LIKE <parentTable>);

In the case of orders, the ddl of the parent looks like this:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS <parentTableName>(
    orders_id int primary key,
    cust_id int,
    item varchar(50),
    order_date date,
    descr varchar(100)
);

As one might guess from these DDL, these are just some dummy test tables.

A: There is a view for generating table DDL in the Redshift Utils library on GitHub .
Other items in the library are also useful for extracting existing items.

Q: JSON Schema - how to reference enum value and combine multiple sets of enums to one property? I have two enum fields in a schema:
{ ...
  "prop1": {
    oneOf": [{
      "enum": [
        "VAL1",
        "VAL2"],
      "type": "string"
      },{
        "type": "null"}]
  },
  "prop2": {
    oneOf": [{
      "enum": [
        "VAL3",
        "VAL4"],
      "type": "string"
      },{
        "type": "null"}]
}

I want to create a third enum field prop3, and to allow values from prop1 and prop2.
I can copy the values:
{ ...
  "prop3": {
    oneOf": [{
      "enum": [
        "VAL1",
        "VAL2"
        "VAL3",
        "VAL4"
        ],
      "type": "string"
      },{
        "type": "null"}]
  }
}

but I want prop3 to automaticly get new values when I aadd them to prop1 or prop2.
Can I create a definition for enum values and then use it in two places?
How can I join two sets of enums like that?

A: You can use the anyOf keyword to effectively combine the enums.
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "prop1": { "$ref": "#/definitions/prop1" },
    "prop2": { "$ref": "#/definitions/prop2" },
    "prop3": { "$ref": "#/definitions/prop3" }
  },
  "definitions": {
    "prop1": { "enum": ["VAL1", "VAL2"] },
    "prop2": { "enum": ["VAL3", "VAL4"] },
    "prop3": {
      "anyOf": [
        { "$ref": "#/definitions/prop1" },
        { "$ref": "#/definitions/prop2" }
      ]
    }
  }

Interviews, News & Articles
In a short period since blasting out of a cannon on the big screen in Terence Malick's Oscar nominated and Palme d'Or-winning The Tree of Life in 2011, Jessica Chastain has quickly built a resume of playing strong willed women. Alas, some are Greek tragic heroes, who reach for the stars, only to fall short; Tammy Faye Bakker being one of them. She, along with her husband Jim Bakker, built PTL into a massive multi-million dollar earning evangelical television network, a solid amount he siphoned for personal use, ultimately serving close to five years in jail. Tammy Faye Bakker meant a lot of things to a lot of people: a soulful Christian singer, a sensitive preacher who reached across the aisle to recognize the plight of LGBT during the AIDS epidemic, as well as material for late-night talk show hosts in her ambitious fashion and make-up sense. Chastain yearned to get under her skin and tells us how she prepared for the role in the Searchlight movie and produced it.
DEADLINE: When did you get the desire to play Tammy Faye Bakker? Was it after seeing the documentary?
JESSICA CHASTAIN: It was definitely after the documentary, and I saw that around the time of Zero Dark Thirty press. I was jet-lagged somewhere, and I thought, wow. First of all, I couldn't believe it hadn't been made before as a film. She's such an incredible character, but I think it was also that I was disappointed with how the media had told her story. And that Steve Pieters interview for me was such a radical act of love.
She really went against what the conservative evangelicals were saying at that time, and in some sense, the fear and the homophobia that was really prevalent in society across the board. I mean, the U.S. government wasn't even talking about AIDS. So, what she did was so rebellious, such a radical act of love, and I wanted to celebrate that, and also, I think as an actress, I don't think there's a scarier part to play, because really, you know, your ass is on the line. The voice, the pitch is different, the accent is different. The singing, which is so embarrassing for me. I learned her songs and learned how to sing, you know. And then, also, this wonderful, ridiculous, camp quality that she loved and embraced. I mean, there's so much in there that is just terrifying, but really, there's a lot to tackle with this role.
How Jessica Chastain prepared for singing as Tammy Faye: 'Bourbon'

In approximately 1854, Thomas B. Hammer, the area's first settler, opened a stage stop on the east side of the Sabinal River and applied for and received a post office which he named Hammer's Station. In order to protect settlers from outlaws and hostile Indians, the U.S. Cavalry established an outpost across the river from the stage stop in 1856. Their presence did not protect Hammer from being killed by bandits the next year. During the 1880s, area ranchers raised hogs and drove them to markets in Kerrville and Sabinal much like drovers herded cattle. Apparently, many of the hogs got loose which may have contributed to our huge population of wild pigs today. In 1881, the Southern Pacific Railroad established a stop in Sabinal and brought Angora goats from Turkey. That same year successful merchant Louis M. Peters moved his store to the east side of the river near the railroad tracks. Other settlers soon followed and the community that grew up around the store became the center of town. By the 1884, Sabinal had a public school, two churches, a hotel, and approximately 150 residents. Farmers shipped wool, livestock, and hides by rail. In 1893, farmers were growing corn, cotton, oats and sugarcane. Farmers purchased Aer-Motor water windmills from the local lumberyard to pump irrigation water for their crops. Sabinal had approximately 500 residents when it incorporated in 1906. It also had a fire station and a hot water department, and telephone service. Six cotton gins and wool and mohair production were large contributors to the town's economic base. The town currently has several antique shops. Sabinal is located on the Sabinal River on U.S. 90 and RR 127, 92 miles east of Del Rio, 22 miles east of Uvalde, 21 miles south of Utopia, 11 miles west of Knippa and D'Hanis, 20 miles west of Hondo, 38 miles southeast of Leakey, and 62 miles west of San Antonio, Texas.

The library is open Mon-Fri, 1pm-5pm. (830) 988-2911. 412 North Center Street, Sabinal, Texas 78881.
The store sells hunting and birding supplies and more and is the headquarters for the Texas Buck-N-Boar Contest. (830) 988-2215. 108 E. Kennedy Street, Sabinal.
Activities include the World Championship Wild Hog Chasing Contest which involves two individuals entering a pen with a wild hog, chasing, catching, and bagging the hog in a burlap sack, and pulling the hog across the finish line faster than all the other hog baggers. Additional activities include vendors, games and rides, the Cypress Day Chili Cook-off and margarita contest, a volleyball tournament, a chuckwagon demonstration, ballet folklorico, a Zumba demonstration, Cloggers, a pork cook-off, live music and a dance.

The story starts when Remini was nine, growing up in Brooklyn. Her dad had just left, and her mom got a new boyfriend. He was a Scientologist. Her mom joined the church, too.
When Remini and her sister got into fights, her mother suggested they go to Scientology classes and learn how to communicate. Remini says she liked being treated like an adult at the Scientology center. "As a kid, I think, it offered structure, I think we loved that there was structure to these courses. And then the second part of that was, we were told that you're a spiritual being, and you're very powerful, and you're not a child."
Then in the early 1980s, Remini, her sister, and her mother moved to Florida, where Remini worked to join an order within Scientology known as the Sea Organization, or Sea Org.
"We were living in a run-down motel off of a freeway in Clearwater, Fla.," Remini tells NPR's Kelly McEvers. "We lived in dorms with other children. It was roach-infested; oftentimes we didn't eat if we didn't wake up when meals were being served. But again, you're a child that all of a sudden has this independence, so in one way, it was scary ... but it was also, we felt independent, and we were in charge of ourselves. We didn't have an education other than Scientology education, so we were kids living on our own."
After a conflict with her superiors in the church, Leah Remini and her family left the Sea Org and moved to Los Angeles. She wanted to be an actor.
At first it was a struggle. But she eventually landed a lead role on a big sitcom, The King of Queens, which ran for nine years. As a celebrity, Remini was able to ascend to the upper levels of the church; in a 2002 interview she said it had helped with her confidence and career. She took hours of classes every day, and continued to do auditing, or counseling sessions, which both cost money. "During my thirty-plus years in Scientology," Remini writes in the book, "I spent close to $2 million for services and training, and donated roughly $3 million to church causes."
But Remini started doubting whether those donations were going toward a good cause, as the Church of Scientology told her. She wanted to see what critics of the church were saying. But, she tells McEvers, she knew she could be questioned for that.
You don't really look on the internet, you don't watch Nightlines or Datelines and 20/20s critical of the church. And if you do, you have to go in and you have to deal with why you were looking at those things ... Now from there, you would be taken off of what you were doing in the Church, and then you would be put into a security checking ... it's sort of like a lie-detector test, and you're hooked up to that and you're asked a series of questions: Do you have evil intentions towards your church? Are you talking to certain enemies to our church? And you're just interrogated.
This is an extremist organization — there's no half-in, half-out. You have to 100% be on board, or you're considered an enemy to your group. I wasn't ready to walk out the door and say goodbye to my mother, my sister, my brother-in-law, all my friends — most of my friends were Scientologists. Everybody.
People were scattering any time I asked about Shelly Miscavige, who I considered a friend. And when I say, "Where's Shelly?" at a very public event, I was basically told I didn't have the rank to ask such a question. And that is not something that sits right with me. And then it just kind of went downhill from there.
It was six years until I actually left, six to seven years. I was trying to work within the system. I knew that my questioning would lead to my family being investigated, which was what started to happen. I'm a person who has to be right — this is one place that I was hoping to be wrong. I spent my whole life in it. My mother spent her whole life in it. I got my husband into it. So I did not want to be right, here.
At the end, they had us all in different rooms, interrogating us all, and asking us not to talk to each other about what we were doing in those rooms. And we got together, and we said, we need to stick together as a family, and we need to stop. And we all decided as a family, that was enough.
You know, I'm looking at my phone, to invite my friends to my daughter's birthday party, and I'm like, oh, can't. Oh, can't. Oh, oh, she can't talk to me. She can't talk to me. And, you know, I saw my goddaughter at my local coffee shop and I couldn't go and embrace her because her mother can't really talk to me. So it was part of our everyday life, it gave a sense of purpose. And that is taken away. That part was hard.
But then I started going to therapy, which is, you know, taboo to that church. And I started reading books, and going, oh my god, there's other things in the world, things that actually do help people. There's good people in the world, it's not that us-against-them mentality. There's good in the world. And that's what's been amazing. So yes, there was a short-term heartbreak, and finding your new everyday normal, but filling it with family and friends who are not judging you on your religious beliefs, or how much money you donated, or how much time you spent — it's so much more fulfilling.
A representative for Tom Cruise did not respond to our request for comment, but the Church of Scientology directed us to a response online and sent us a statement, excerpted below, in which a spokesperson disputed much of Remini's account of events.
On Remini's comments regarding conditions at Scientology facilities in Clearwater, Fla.
This is a false, mischaracterization of her time in the religious order. In the first place, she was not there for long and the conditions were not as she claims. The Church follows all laws and the facilities she stayed in received regular inspections by the Pinellas County Health Department. All licenses were maintained in good standing during the entire period that Ms. Remini was in Clearwater.
On the church's policy of "Disconnection"
Ms. Remini knows that the Church's practice of disconnection is a voluntary practice (spelled out at www.scientology.org) designed to help members remove themselves from abusive and hostile relationships. The Church's disconnection policy is similar to that of the Jewish faith of shunning. There is no policy in Scientology that requires Church members to disconnect from anyone, let alone family and friends who simply have different beliefs.
As with most religions, donations by parishioners are the primary source of financial support for Churches of Scientology. As with all religions, donations vary depending on each member's means.
All funds donated for the purposes of humanitarian and relief endeavors are used to support those efforts. ...They are well documented and a matter of public record.
This claim is false, thoroughly debunked by the Los Angeles Police Department. Ms. Remini has been harassing the Church about this matter for some years. Mrs. Miscavige is not now and has never been "missing."
