Are you willing to accept the idea that a woman named Pierrette Bloch Bloch—whose work has been shown in discerning galleries and museums yet has never reached the stratosphere financially—was not only supreme among female artists but was the best of the best Her arrangements of dots and lines on canvas To behold them is like entering a Zen rock garden; every small form and the intervening spaces is placed with authority and a unique flair for visual harmonics Bloch came from a Swiss family and spent most of her life in Paris Her aunt and uncle were the first clients of Édouard Jeanneret which prompted him to tell his parents that Jews had more culture and courage than did Protestants like them Take it on faith: an outing to this relatively remote location to see the work of an obscure artist will knock your socks off View upcoming auction estimates and receive personalized email alerts for the artists you follow For her first personal exhibition in France, Thea Djordjadze gathers more than sixty works created since 1993 with which she delivers an intuitive experience within the Museum building Artist Thea Djordjadze’s work has spanned for more than twenty years through sculptures and their installation in a perceptible relationship to space and the architecture of the place hosting them augmented objects stand alongside pieces that resemble display systems and architectural elements — railings shelves — that lost their functionality.Other sculptures are made from steel or aluminum hinting at a fragment of a modernist building or rendering shapes reminiscent of the Georgian alphabet into three-dimensional space the artworks constitute a long poem where materials communicate in layers peer into a past and appear in a new light in this exhibition space To this Georgian artist working in Berlin since 2009 each exhibition stands as a reconfiguration reinterpretation or rearrangement of new and older works in response to a given space Her installations place within a new context objects techniques and traditional crafts bearing with them the historical remnants of territories languages and traditions of a broadened notion of Europe directing the viewer’s eye toward a single spot Installation therefore allows her to offer a freer experience based on the immediate perception of resonances between the staged objects the dialogues between the materials and the architecture of the place Download PDF A handheld confocal microscope originally developed for derma­tologists can be used to perform non­invasive “optical biopsies” to diagnose eyelid and conjunctival malignancies Italian and French researchers have reported based at the University Hospital of Saint-Étienne in Saint-Priest-en-Jarez reported that a handheld reflectance con­focal microscope (VivaScope 3000; Caliber Imaging & Diagnostics) enabled them to see images of individual cells in the suspicious lesions enabling diag­nosis of melanoma and squamous cell carcinomas.1 Each image covers an area of 920 × 920 μm (more than double the field of view achieved by reflectance confocal microscopes that are not mobile) and up to 250 μm in depth The horizontal optical resolution is 1.25 μm “The device offers you some infor­mation that is impossible to find with other devices which is amazing,” said Elisa Cinotti “You can come to a diagnosis very early compared to the clinical examination which gives you only a macroscopical view.” and handheld reflectance confocal microscopy (right) images in patients with pinquecula (top) and squamous cell carcinoma (bottom) (Note: These images are from an earlier study.) The process of using handheld in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) to diagnose sus­picious tissues takes 5 to 10 minutes The clinician begins by topically anesthetizing the eye then applies a transparent ophthalmic gel to the area being examined the physician places the 5-mm tip lightly on the lesion to be examined and moves it around on the surface as needed to optimize the image (Recently the tip was redesigned to be removable for sterilization she said.) The biomicroscopic images are displayed on a nearby monitor a team of 3 dermatologists and 3 ophthalmologists conducted a pro­spective observational study on 298 consecutive patients with eyelid margin or conjunctival lesions Patients underwent clinical examination at the slit lamp and with IVCM Suspected malig­nancies were excised from 155 eyes and histopathology was performed to verify the original diagnoses the handheld confocal micro­scope showed higher sensitivity for malignant tumors of the eyelid margin (98% vs IVCM identified all the malignant conjunctival tumors and missed only 1 cancer on the eyelid margin clinical examination with the slit lamp failed to identify 5 basal cell carcinomas of the eyelid margin and 3 malignant melanomas of the conjunctiva “I saw some cases in which there was hyperpigmentation of the conjunctiva of a few millimeters it was impossible [to reach an accurate diagnosis],” Dr The spec­ificity results were mixed: They were higher compared to the slit-lamp exam for the malignant eyelid margin tumors (74% vs 46%) but lower for malignant conjunctival tumors (78% vs Although the IVCM correctly diagnosed 100% of the cases of conjunctival ma­lignant melanoma it misdiagnosed 7 benign conjunctival lesions as mela­noma (74% specificity for melanoma) 5 were misdiagnosed as mela­noma (64% specificity for melanoma) Cinotti explained that some types of tumors contain large cells that make the IVCM images difficult to interpret or ambiguous “Our study had a large group of patients but we still have a lot of work to do on this We need more work on the criteria for diagnosis,” she said Download PDF All content on the Academy’s website is protected by copyright law and the Terms of Service.

To be honest yet he obediently resigns himself to what seems like a predestined fate and starts helping out in the pastry kitchen Followed by his initial experiences here and there: a summer with Paul Bocuse who had already trained Alain Chapel and of whom he would be the last apprentice it intrigued him but didn't captivate him entirely he returns as a prodigal son to Saint-Priest-en-Jarez where his father has held a MICHELIN Star for several years the French culinary scene is in upheaval: a group of young chefs is challenging established gastronomy supported by agitators Henri Gault and Christian Millau The even younger Gagnaire is intrigued by the audacity of Paul Bocuse and Alain Chapel While not aligning strictly with the nouvelle cuisine movement he begins to understand that a different style of dining is possible he opens his restaurant in nearby Saint-Étienne I felt like a pot with the lid closed: boiling inside Cooking gained true value in my eyes when it stopped being a blind repetition of learned practices The act of cooking became a daily happiness when I dared to refuse to turn cooking into a stagnant chant Critics quickly notice him; one and then Two MICHELIN Stars arrive The audacity of a cuisine that practices contrasts and collisions of flavors expertly orchestrated twists in the narrative Some compare Gagnaire to an old jazz musician for his improvisational ability on old standard themes Such genius deserves a new setting: in 1992 Gagnaire moves to an ancient hôtel particulier which he embellishes like an art gallery with the help of his painter and sculptor friends The MICHELIN Guide rewards him with a third Star Continuing to explore without constraints means staying true to oneself It's about building a real place for the future and creation in Saint-Étienne." However the dream shatters due to harsh conditions: located in a working-class environment the acclaimed restaurant closes its doors in 1996 Gagnaire claims to be a victim of "a sort of banking cynicism" and upholds his idealism but I no longer had the means to carry out my work." Only a change of location remains: Paris calls to him The idea for the sake of the idea no longer interests me." MICHELIN is convinced as well promptly reinstating his second and third Stars in 1997 and 1998 Those fortunate to work alongside him describe an uninterrupted creative process that leads him to rethink dishes even during service: the pot still boils He finds a partner in scientist Hervé This collaborating on defining a "note-by-note" cuisine based on the combination of compounds and molecules rather than ingredients they author masterpieces like "Culinary Art and Science of Cooking" and "Note-by-Note Cooking" The meal thus becomes an alchemy of science and art an unparalleled fusion of music and rhythm Pierre is named a Commander of Arts and Letters The chef who was once overwhelmed by financial turmoil also reveals himself as an unexpected businessman over the years followed by a second Parisian establishment in 2005: "Gaya Rive Gauche" he begins exploring the Asian scene by opening a "Pierre Gagnaire" in Tokyo which he had visited in 1986; a year later he opens another in Hong Kong at the "Mandarin Oriental Hotel" again within the "Mandarin Oriental Hotel" Then "Les Menus" in Moscow and "Colette" in Saint-Tropez amid accolades for his talent (2 MICHELIN Stars arrived in Hong Kong) Pierre becomes a grandfather to his first grandchild he has fifteen restaurants and Twelve MICHELIN Stars Do you want to discover the latest news and recipes of the most renowned chefs and restaurants in the world La nostra società utilizza inoltre cookie funzionali per registrare informazioni sulle scelte dell’utente e per consentire una personalizzazione del Sito; ad esempio Questi cookie possono essere installati dalla nostra società o da Terze parti In caso di disabilitazione di questi cookie la qualità e l’esperienza di navigazione potrebbe non essere soddisfacente Questi cookie sono installati da social media per consentire la condivisione dei contenuti del presente Sito Essi sono in grado di monitorare la navigazione compiuta anche in altri siti e creano un profilo dell’utente sulla base dei suoi interessi Ciò potrebbe avere un impatto sul contenuto e messaggi visualizzati sugli altri siti visitati non sarà possibile utilizzare o visualizzare questi strumenti di condivisione per l’installazione e l’uso di tali cookie occorre il consenso dell’utente Per maggiori informazioni consulta la pagna cookies policy A 53-year-old man went to a French emergency room complaining of a persistently itchy eye He told his medical team that earlier that day while gardening he had “felt something enter his right eye.” doctors at the University Hospital of Saint-Etienne in Saint-Priest-en-Jarez France found more than dozen squirming larvae in his eye The diagnosis was external ophthalmomyiasis medical terminology for an infestation of the eye by fly larvae The infestation had caused dilated blood vessels a condition known as conjunctival hyperemia “In this case, the larvae were removed with forceps and identified as Oestrus ovis, also known as the sheep bot fly, which had presumably flown into the patient’s eye and deposited the larvae,” reported the medical team in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in an April 7 But here’s a twist: The gardener does not have livestock on his property he told his medical team that his garden was located close to a sheep and horse farm Sheep botflies are common in France and found around the world, so long as there are sheep and goats around. Eggs are fertilized, developed, and hatched inside of a mother fly who will then then deposit the living parasitic babies inside of the nasal passages and cavities of domesticated livestock, according to the University of Florida Depending on the phase of their life cycle sheep botflies move throughout the nasal passage until they reach a size of about 1 inch they travel back to the nostrils awaiting their host’s next sneeze Sheep botflies have also been known to infect deer, and though they aim to infect the noses of their hosts, they will sometimes unintentionally enter the eye sockets of animals and humans. Though perhaps disturbing, such infestations are still relatively rare. Between 1918 and 2017, human infestation has been reported 295 times After taking video footage and snapping a few photos the doctors attending the case above removed the larvae one at a time with tiny tweezers and prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection they found the patient did not suffer any secondary infection or eye damage “External Ophthalmomyiasis Due to Oestrus Ovis.” New England

cancer and to identify prognostic factors of overall survival (OS) in a large cohort of patients Data on efficacy and on acute/late toxicity were retrospectively collected Patients were diagnosed a non-metastatic rectal cancer between 2004 and 2015 and were treated at least with radiotherapy tumor and treatment characteristics with univariate and multivariate analyses Data of 593 consecutive non-metastatic rectal cancer patients were analyzed Radiotherapy was delivered in pre-operative (n = 477 Surgical resection is the cornerstone treatment for locally-advanced rectal cancer Poor tumor differentiation and node involvement were identified as major predictive factor of poor OS The research in treatment intensification and in identification of radioresistance biomarkers should therefore probably be focused on this particular subset of patients pathological examination and multidisciplinary teams might have significantly improved the outcome of non-metastatic RC patients it is of paramount importance to identify current prognosis factors in real-life patients with non-metastatic RC since such factors play a part in deciding on the optimal treatment plan and might play a future crucial role in achieving personalized anticancer treatments and follow-up since the debate between a “long” chemoradiotherapy and a “short” exclusive accelerated radiotherapy (25 Gy/5fr) is not yet concluded the analysis of real-life prescription behaviours in a French university health centre might bring interesting information The aim of the present study was to describe the outcome and the management of care in one of the largest cohort of non-metastatic RC patients The identification of prognosis factors of overall survival (OS) was retrospectively performed in the whole set of patients and in the subset of patients undergoing rectal tumor resection A retrospective study was conducted at the Lucien Neuwirth comprehensive cancer care center (Saint Priest en Jarez The institutional review board approved the study which was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration Informed consent stating that patient’s medical data would be used to conduct retrospective studies was systematically obtained before radiation initiation Medical records of all consecutive patients undergoing radiotherapy for a non-metastatic RC between 2004 and 2015 were retrospectively reviewed radiotherapy characteristics (treated locations surgery characteristics (complete sterilization of the operative specimen (ypCR) complete tumor resection (R0)) were also studied Chemo-radiation was defined as concurrent when chemotherapy was overlapping radiotherapy Chemo-radiation was defined as sequential when chemotherapy was not overlapping the pre- or post-operative radiotherapy Defunctioning stoma was not considered as surgery only the most severe toxicity was collected Acute toxicity was defined by a toxicity occurrence within 3 months from the beginning of radiotherapy and could also be reported by surgeons and/or general practitioners Chemotherapy-induced toxicities were collected in medical oncology files patients were assessed for efficacy every 3 months by surgeons and medical oncologists during the first two years and every 6 months later with clinical examination and alternation of chest/abdomen/pelvis- CT-scan and chest radiography and abdominal ultrasound Progression free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from the date of radiotherapy completion to the date of clinical and/or radiological RC progression Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of radiotherapy completion to the date of death or the last follow-up Patients and patient’s oncologists were systematically contacted in 2015 to update the patient’s status PFS and OS were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method Survivals were then compared based on log-rank test Median values were given with the first and third quartiles (Q1-Q3) or with the range Chi-2 test or Fisher test were performed to compare patient characteristics distribution All p values were nominal without adjustment for multiple testing The multivariate analysis was performed using a Cox multivariate analysis based on the significant -or close-to-significance (p < 0.2)- factors in univariate analysis The multivariate model was refined using the Akaike information criterion Statistical analyses were processed with R 3.2.2 (R Core Team (2013 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing The datasets generated during and/or analysed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request Patient indivudal data is provided in Supplementary file 4 patients (0.7%) did not complete the pre-planned radiotherapy program One grade 5 acute toxicity was reported: the patient experienced an exclusive radiotherapy for a T4 tumor and had completed a myeloma chemotherapy one month before RC radiation initiation His rectal tumor turned into abcess before radiotherapy resulting in a fatal sepsis after 4 radiation courses with an exclusive radiotherapy patient experiencing obstructive radiation proctitis Acute infield toxicities were reported in 57.9% of pre-operative (262 grade 1–2 Acute grade 3 side-effects were gastro-intestinal (11 patients with 10 receiving concomitant chemotherapy) with 6 receiving concomitant chemotherapy) and urinary (1 patient receiving concomitant chemotherapy) toxicities Two grade 4 infield late toxicities were reported with ureter stenosis inducing chronic renal failure The two patients experienced a pre-operative hypofractionated radiotherapy One patient experienced a concurrent chemo radiation Late toxicities were reported in 13.8% of pre-operative (59 grade 1–2 12% of post-operative (9 grade 1–2) and 2.4% of exclusive (one grade 2) radiotherapy settings Late grade 3 toxicities were gastro-intestinal (6 patients experiencing fistula and stenosis with 5 concurrent chemo radiation) and urinary (1 patient experiencing dysuria 21.9% (n = 130) of the 593 included patients experienced a metastatic progression and 33% (n = 196) had died In the subset of 552 patients undergoing rectal surgery 29.2% (n = 161) had died at the end of follow-up without a recorded date of death) in the whole set of patients with 391 in the subset of patients who underwent a rectal surgery a total of 126 deaths were specifically caused by the RC Out of the 552 patients undergoing a curative surgery 54 had a pathological complete regression (9.8%) Overall survival of patients experiencing pre-operative therapeutic strategies were systematically discussed in multidisciplinary teams (including at least a medical oncologist a radiation oncologist and a surgeon) before treatment initiation no radiotherapy program has been specifically validated in elderly patients The PRODIGE-NACRE trial (NCT02551237) is currently prospectively investigating adapted to elderly radiotherapy programs recruiting patients >75 years old with a stage II-III RC randomizing them either in a pre-operative chemo-radiotherapy (50 Gy/25 fractions + capecitabine) or in a pre-operative hypofractionated radiotherapy (25 Gy/5 fractions) This trial will probably clearly define the best option for elderly patients in the next few years an impaired nutritional condition (BMI ≤ 18.5) was an independent risk factor of death in the whole set of patients proving the importance of developing personalized supportive care in RC these results suggest the absolute necessity to carry out an onco-geriatric evaluation before any treatment to define the best therapeutic sequence in elderly patients including supportive care before any anticancer treatment and should therefore be avoided as much as possible The identification of biomarkers of radioresistance based on the association between tumor genetic profiling and patient local and distant outcomes might be a key to provide new therapeutic targets based on the cohort of the ProfiLER clinical trial (NCT 01774409) The retrospective nature is of course a major limitation the short follow-up (<5 years) might have masked some late toxicities and might have biased the estimation of OS The number of poorly differentiated tumours is low (5.2%) and may be related to the high number of missing data regarding the tumour differentiation (9.3%) These two elements might therefore have induced a bias in some results The absence of information regarding the local control prevented us from identifying risk factor of local relapse A few stage I patients underwent radiotherapy and were therefore included in this study since the decision was justified by multidisciplinary team prescriptions of radiotherapy could probably be harmonised Although the retrospective nature of the study is a limitation as well as the fact that the identified predictive factors for overall survival were not novel and finally

Labyrinths—Voice—Blind Time Poster (1974) Saint-Étienne’s Musée d’art moderne et contemporain’s Robert Morris exhibition The Perceiving Body gives the impression of Morris as mostly a crisp analytic artist of literalism and lucidity This air of clarity was apparently important to the artist as he self-curated this semi-retrospective with co-curator Jeffrey Weiss before his death in 2018 as Morris was known for being emotionally prickly about claims that his often hyper-masculine anti-expressive art was sometimes seen as a partial-pastiche of other artists’ Notwithstanding the validity of such assertions I have long been attracted to his complicated aesthetic output as a conceptual art theorist of implicit anthropomorphic theatricality Morris was a proficient writer who set up for himself conceptual investigations about how flighty vision and movement can connect to bodily sensations by better understanding the clarity of form (excellent motives this contradictory aesthetic is hard to inhabit imaginatively in our climate of invisible viral connected change as self-represented here at his minimal art zenith shared the same delusions of defiance through simplicity that many of his post-Abstract Expressionist generation held—thinking it was primary to put forth anti-expressive acts of making and beholding In the process they perpetuated quite a few false universalizations out of structural singularities But if one can begin by overlooking the effervescent madcap macho docu-fiction hyperbole of his self-mythologizing Labyrinths—Voice—Blind Time Poster (1974) by accepting what Morris said about his early childhood escapist-imaginative experiences as central to his (really allegorical) art making Morris may emerge as a much wider-ranging conceptual-minimal artist of assorted sensibilities That’s not to deny he could also be an acerbic art critic capable of effeminizing critical antagonists and that he displayed the perils of self-absorption Is he not almost an icon of white male detached and privileged belligerence Yet Morris is still an interesting theorist of process post-minimalism (repetition chance) that should not be cavalierly canceled out This is evidenced by his collected writings (always sharp in descriptive efficiency) that were brought together by art historian Nena Tsouti-Schillinger in Have I Reasons: Work and Writings Morris is still able to offer a surfeit of stimulus to current post-conceptual art practice—granted the necessity of chunky caveats The excellent (but overly limited) Robert Morris: The Perceiving Body—co-produced with the Mudam Contemporary Art Museum of Luxembourg and supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art (here co-co-curated with Alexandre Quoi of the Musée d’art moderne et contemporain de Saint-Étienne)—contains seven extensive rooms each containing a single installation or a group of somewhat related big but non-monumental objects capable of engaging with the space of the room The works breath beautifully in the vast space of the Musée is a short film on the theme of natural factuality complicated by the māyā of mirroring where Morris is filmed holding a mirror and moving it around outdoors in the winter “underscore the need I and others feel to shift priorities at this time from art making and viewing to unified action within the art community against the intensifying conditions of repression particularly when Morris continued to depict other lacerating visionary suggestions of nuclear apocalypse with his Psychomachia whose love of artificiality is also obvious (These works did not receive positive notices from the art world power critics: tisk tisk.) None of this work is even hinted at in the show. Which is a bit like only watching the second season of Homeland in collaboration with The Fabric Workshop and Museum Two sheets: 114 x 90 inches (289.56 x 228.6 cm) each Two pillow cases: 20 x 36 inches (50.8 x 91.44 cm) each 3 on satin) Collection of The Fabric Workshop and Museum  Photograph of Untitled (Box for Standing) (1961) with Morris standing inside I always wondered why Young dedicated his Composition 1960 #10 to Morris—rather than Morris dedicate his year-later Box with the Sound of Its Own Making to Young The score of Composition 1960 #10 (to Bob Morris) which reads: “Draw a straight line and follow it,” was famously performed in 1962 by Nam June Paik during the Fluxus Internationale Festspiele Neuester Musik at the Städtisches Museum in Wiesbaden Morris’s Blank Form (1962) graphic text piece should have now been included in The Perceiving Body so as to fill a hole in the art history of conceptual-minimalism Originally created for Young’s and Jackson Mac Low’s proto-Fluxus artists’ book publication An Anthology of Chance Operations were pulled by Morris out of the project before the book was assembled I know Young has a box containing those pulled pages collection Christian and Franziska Hausmaninger © Adagp Paris 2020 photo by Aurelien Mole / MAMC+  Untitled (Ring with Light) (1965-1966) 60 x 48 cm each New York (left) and Untitled (Fiberglass Frame) (1968) The compound of abstract shapes that is Scatter Piece creates something like a memory lane it suggests a bit of Morris’s conceptually diverse and wide-ranging work (already a convoluted tale) with the mnemonic episodic structure of a fight or party or fever dream It is both playful and graceful and enticing in its chaotic allover non-structure This swashbuckling immersion into the expanded field is an experience of entering into the art of visual noise It beautifully complicates the figure/ground clarity of Morris’s earlier unitary objects because it functions in a much more painterly way it is exhilarating and invigorating in its display of an excess that fosters a more active mode of sinuous vision Though grounded in materialism by ontological necessity this viractual vision is one capable of lifting off into gorgeous flights of lyricism Speaking with the culinary master ahead of his return to Tokyo Pierre Gagnaire was born to restaurateurs in the French village of Apinac it was obvious to him that he would spend his life in kitchens and everyone assumed that he would run the family business he earned three Michelin stars in the nearby city of Saint-Etienne by “facing tomorrow while respecting yesterday,” and by 2015 five hundred Michelin chefs crowned him the Best Chef in the World Weekender caught up with the culinary icon as he prepares to perform in person at his restaurant at the ANA InterContinental Tokyo Laurier Tiernan: Looking at the beginning of your life but your parents’ restaurant was in Saint-Etienne Chef Gagnaire: It was in St-Priest-en-Jarez because the family restaurant was in that area – in the countryside – but when I broke away from my family to make my own way I opened my own restaurant in Saint-Etienne CG: My first few months were with Chef Paul Bocuse where I worked at a two-Michelin star restaurant called “Chez Juliette.” LT: At which culinary school did you study In my generation we didn’t go to culinary schools LT: Do you feel that working in a two-star Michelin restaurant – instead of going to culinary school – is something that helped you rise to the prominent position where you stand today the key to my success is my hatred for this profession It’s my hatred for this profession that created my style LT: The journey of your development as a chef took you to places like Lyon What do you feel that each of those places brought to your skill set or your style It’s my personality (that matters) and my way to analyze my job that matters I understood that this work could provide the opportunity to create emotions and to give meaning to one’s life LT: You don’t think your environment shapes you but your environment … it’s pretty classic when you are an artist I believe that it’s the constraints in a person’s environment that create the need to approach things differently There are some people who have no resilience and they let themselves be swallowed by their history Listen to me carefully: it’s the the constraints in your life that give you the energy to say Is that kind of exclusivity important to you because in exclusivity we can offer an excellent team with which to serve people (which takes a long time to build) LT: Since some people call your cuisine “fusion” – but you do not – what do you call it “Fusion” equals “confusion.” We create emotions It’s like making a movie or writing a novel you are an artist like DaVinci; someone who is unique unto himself LT: I heard that you are currently in Japan looking for ingredients that you will use to cook for your clients in Tokyo in person at the end of July Could you please tell us what ingredients you are looking for In the end the important thing is to decide where to draw your lines It’s too easy to use typical things like wasabi … I try to observe the local products and use them so I try to pay tribute to the country itself at the same time LT: Could you please give our readers some hints as to the dishes that you will be presenting CG: We’ll be using a lot of fruits and vegetables LT: When you choose to come to your restaurants and cook for your customers in person as opposed to directing your team of chefs what do you like best about getting back to basics CG: It’s like revising your future and your past It’s simultaneously very joyous and very tiring LT: How do you feel about the relationship between yourself as a kind of a culinary producer and the chefs and staff who carry out your vision I am happy to share my competence with them It’s like I am the head of a family … but I am the chef [Laughs] LT: Do you have a parting message for the people of Tokyo That is the resilience that I was speaking about earlier This is a special place; a truly amazing place Chef Gagnaire will prepare his cuisine in person at his restaurant in the ANA InterContinental Tokyo from July 25 to July 29.
