Snowpiercer by Bong Joon-Ho
In a future where a failed global-warming experiment kills off most life on the planet, a class system evolves aboard the Snowpiercer, a train that travels around the globe via a perpetual-motion engine. Over time a class system evolves on the train, with the elites inhabiting the front of the train and poor inhabiting the back of the train. Tired of their poor living conditions, the riders in the back revolt, attempting to seize control of the engine.
First off, I love the international cast. This is the type of international co-production that I like to see more of. Considering the somber heavy tone of the story, it's surprising that this movie was even made. Every actor fits their part and they all happen to be character actors in an ensemble piece.
Chris Evans makes an engaging lead, never letting his stardom get in the way of his character. Watching him play such a righteous character never once reminded me of Captain America, and that's probably the best thing I can say. Tilda Swinton is wonderfully ridiculous. When she first appeared, it threw me off because it was so over-the-top. Her character seemed to belong in another film. I wondered if it was possible for someone like that to exist in that environment but as the story unfolded, Swinton's commitment to her cartoonish portrayal changed my opinion.
Song Kang-Ho is always an entertaining presence. He is held back by a language barrier but that is not enough to contain his natural funniness. Jamie Bell and Octavia Spencer both make a dramatic impact with their supporting roles. Alison Pill also has a memorable cameo that teeters between creepy and satirically hilarious.
Bong Joon-Ho tells a good proper social science fiction story. The metaphor of the train representing the hierarchy of social class was handled with subtlety. This could vary for other viewers, but the film's ideas and themes never felt heavy for me. As the lower class move up each train car in a series of action set pieces, I found myself slowly detaching from what was going on and comfortably sinking into the film's ideas (a problem I had with Edgar Wright's The World's End earlier this year). The story's themes brought me back to the time when I read Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and George Orwell's Animal Farm in high school. I thought about human nature, social class and the rich versus the poor, but never for too long because the characters were about to discover what's in the next train car. The middle portion of the film does sag a bit, but Bong Joon-Ho delivers some nice twists and turns along the way.
I read the news about the Weinstein Company is trying to cut a shorter version of Snowpiercer for its upcoming American release. Even thinking in Harvey Weinstein's terms (and believe me, witnessing the amount of Asian cinema has neutered by Weinstein for the last decade, I consider myself an expert), I don't see what he thinks Americans won't understand about the social politics and story in Snowpiercer.
The only commercial concern that I can think of is the Korean language portions of the film because American audiences apparently dislike reading subtitles. Korean only takes up a small portion of the film. And actually, an universal translating device is aptly written into film for audiences that prefer to listen. That or Weinstein just wants to put down his authorial stamp for unearthing Asian cinema to the West. So don't be patronized, if it's available, please go see the original director's version. It's solid science fiction made with proper intentions by a cast and crew that are passionate about the material.

Midnight in Paris by Woody Allen
I'm a loyal Woody Allen fan. My favorite Woody Allen films include Crimes and Misdemeanors, Deconstructing Harry, Everyone Says I Love You, and Stardust Memories. Even the so-called bad Woody Allen (I didn't think Curse of the Jade Scorpion or Anything Else was terrible, I thought they were still funny) films manage to entertain me. I like that he's disciplined and a no-nonsense writer and director.
I'm currently battling the cliche of whether I should make a Top Ten List of 2011. I wasn't going to write a review for Midnight in Paris as I saw the film months ago. But watching Hugo and seeing it's attempt at trying to enchant me reminded me of how Midnight in Paris did it so much better. Hugo did it with the use of space, but Midnight in Paris does it with space and character. This movie truly enchanted me. So I figure instead of writing a top ten list, I'll just write reviews of the films that I liked in 2011 instead. So on with my thoughts…
If there's anything Woody Allen does well, it's casting (also to the credit of Allen's longtime casting director Juliet Taylor). He find the right people to do the job through spotting the distinct characteristics in actors and susses out their aura to tell a story. This is the best use of Owen Wilson in a role that I have seen. I never knew what was unique about Owen Wilson till now. And here's what it is: Owen Wilson embodies a sense of wonderment ("Wow, look at that." "Gosh, that's amazing!") and he acts as an avatar for the audience in experiencing Paris' beauty. Yes, of course, we know Paris is beautiful and enchanting but it's through his energy that the viewer can feel enraptured by everything around him.
That also said, I also think this was my favorite Adrian Brody performance as well. This was another actor that I never could tell what his strength was, but too like Owen Wilson, he shines in Midnight in Paris. I know of Salvador Dali and seen enough of his photographs to know his physicality and the specific way he stares at people. I do think Brody captures that precisely in this small role. It's also refreshing to see Rachel McAdams play a bitchier character. If there's an award for best ensemble cast, Midnight in Paris should take the cake. Also noteworthy performances were Kathy Bates as Gertrude Stein, Tom Hiddleston as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Corey Stoll as Ernest Hemingway (who recites all his dialogue in Hemingway-like prose). Through the scope of Owen Wilson's Gil Pender, who is currently writing a novel about nostalgia, every artist's appearance is a delightful joy. It's like crashing an old costume party and meeting all your idols.We see how he's excited to be amongst these people and as the audience is seduced to wanting to hang out with the Lost Generation as well.
Paris is a major character in the story. The opening montage of Paris evokes a similar stroke Allen did in the opening montage in Manhattan. It captures the energy of the city and it embodies a personal love for the place. We see the streets, the restaurants, the book stores, the cafes and we imagine what we would do there if we were there. The film takes it to almost a jokey tongue-in-cheek level since you have the First Lady of France (Carla Bruni, whom I also like her music) as the local French tour guide.
The film charms you and you can't help but fall into it and be whisked away to a fun joyful place. This is easily going onto my favorite movies of the year and now officially one of my favorite Woody Allen pictures.
What else can I say? Woody Allen, give me a hug!

Goon by Michael Dowse
My friend and I used to have this one joke about how "jerseying" someone is the only Canadian martial art. For the layman, I will proceed to explain what "jerseying" is. To jersey someone is to grab the back of someone's shirt and pull it over their arms into a knot, which immobilizes them, which frees you up to punch them. If you're good enough, you can elbow and knee them as well! And it's fun to watch how helpless they are when they can't swing their arms while being pummeled.
Yes… that is funny to me. That is the tone of Goon.
Under the right context, it's very funny to watch somebody being punched. Goon provides this context with a story with heart and a very likable central underdog character. Doug Glatt (played by Seann William Scott) is ostracized from his family, his father and older brother (played by Eugene Levy and David Paetkau) are doctors and he works as a bouncer at his local bar. He is aware he is not smart and there seems to be nothing else for him. But he's good at one thing: beating the shit out of people. Everybody looks down and picks on him (even when his golden opportunity to play for the local hockey team). When Doug beats the shit out of them, you're with him and it makes it okay to laugh at the brutal injuries he inflicts on his tormentors.
I'm a Seann William Scott fan, he's a good comedic actor with a firm grasp for comedic rhythm. He's played zany, nerdy, and obnoxious. In Goon, it's different, he plays a straight man and is reacting to the ridiculousness around him. It's a different comedic dynamic as you're laughing at a character for not knowing the world better and more often you are touched by his purity (as he romances Eva, played by Alison pill) than him directly doing anything that is quote unquote funny.
The fights are pretty violent. It's fun watching how these hockey fights build up in the game because there's almost never a real reason for it. Why do the referees stand there and watch them fight? Why aren't they permanently suspended from the game? It is a pure instinctual reaction physicalized and that's what's fun and funny about it.
There are no cheap gags, in fact there are serious moments in the film where there are no jokes and I appreciated that. Liev Schreiber's handlebar moustache was very funny, and Liev Schreiber was too. But it's mostly the handlebar moustache.
I'm a bad Canadian, I don't watch hockey. However, I throughly enjoyed the hell out of Goon. I laughed pretty hard.

Q: In attrs, validate an attributes type is of the enclosing class I'd like to write a tree Node class, with Node children, using attrs, with validation.
The following doesn't compile because Node doesn't exist yet -
from attr import attrs, attrib
from attr.validators import instance_of

@attrs
class Node:
    left = attrib(validator=instance_of(Node))
    right = attrib(validator=instance_of(Node))

Any suggestions how to get my desired behaviour?
Thanks!

A: You can create a dummy Node class (call this object A), so that it is a registered name to avoid NameError and then you can create your normal class, making sure to inherit from the dummy one (call this object B).
from attr import attrs, attrib
from attr.validators import instance_of

class Node:
    pass

@attrs
class Node(Node):
    left = attrib(default=None, validator=instance_of((Node, type(None))))
    right = attrib(default=None, validator=instance_of((Node, type(None))))

Technically, the name for object A has been overwritten, but a reference to it is still kept. So when you call Node(), you're actually working with an object B. This is both of type object A and object B, but the type that is checked for in instance_of() is strictly object A. This is fine for us but explains why the inheritance is important.
class Node:
    pass

# This won't work because every `Node` we initialise will be strictly object B,
# but the validator requires a type of object A
@attrs
class Node:
    left = ...

Because some nodes will inevitably have to be leaves, you have to also allow for left and right to be NoneType. And finally, providing a default value means you can initialise a node as Node(), instead of Node(None, None). For example,
>>> tree = Node(right=Node(Node()))
>>> tree
Node(left=None, right=Node(left=Node(left=None, right=None), right=None))

A letter of intent is a letter that states that you are educating your child at home and that you are providing "a curriculum designed to meet basic education goals of reading, spelling, grammar, mathematics and a study of good citizenship." A letter of intent is not required for withdrawing your child from school although it can be used to meet any requests from the school district.
You may want to provide a letter of intent when you withdraw your child from school to provide any necessary assurances.
It varies by state. In Texas, there are no requirements for parents such as having a high school diploma or a teaching certification.
You are not required to join a homeschool group. Homeschool groups can provide support and resources, but they are not compulsory.
No. The TAKS test as well as any other state mandated tests do not apply to homeschoolers. You may download previous years tests from the TEA website to administer yourself. You may also pay to take national achievement tests such as the Iowa or Stanford.
No. The State of Texas does not require any testing of homeschoolers. Some homeschools do test their children with programs such as Iowa Testing Program to measure their progress, but this is a personal choice.
If you provide one. The state will not provide a diploma. As a private school you award your own diploma.
No. Just because you choose not to use the public school does not mean that you can somehow "recover" the money you spend in school taxes. We all pay for government services that we don't use.
According to the Commissioner's Home School Policy Letter "Students should be disenrolled by school officials when they receive written notice either by signing withdrawal forms or sending a letter of withdrawal. It is not necessary for the parents to make a personal appearance with school officials or present curriculum for review." You can send a letter of intent by register mail so that you have proof the school received it. You should also bring paper and pen and record the name of everyone you deal with for future reference.
No. There is no minimum number of days you are required to homeschool or any set number of hours during the day.
Yes. In Texas you are a private school and you can consider it the equivalent of hiring a teacher.
There are a variety of daytime curfew laws across the state. There is no problem if you are accompanying your child. In general, these curfews do not allow children outside their house alone during school hours unless their school is not in session. You will need to check the ordinances in your locality.
What should I do if a truant officer knocks on my door?
The truant officer can only enter your house if he has a warrant of you give him permission. You have the right to ask for the request in writing. You do not have to let him talk to your children. Visit the THSC website for specific information on what to do in such a situation.
According to the Commissioner's Home School Policy Letter" Students transferring from home schools should be afforded the same treatment as students transferring from unaccredited private school." What ever method the school uses to place students from unaccredited private schools should also be used for assessing and placing your child in the public school.
(b) This section does not relieve a school district in which a child eligible to participate in the district's special education program resides of its fiscal and administrative responsibilities under Subchapter A, Chapter 29, or of its responsibility to provide a free appropriate public education to a child with a disability.
As much or as little as you want. There will be no shortage of companies offering to sell you curriculum and supplies. Some packaged, comprehensive curriculums with teacher support cost more than $1,000 a year. Your local library card is free.
Many homeschool groups are based on religious principles. They may compile these principals into a single document referred to as a statement of faith.
Some homeschool groups restrict their membership based on religious values or education philosophies. These groups are considered exclusive. Groups that do not restrict membership are considered inclusive. There are groups that have a statement of faith but allow people who don't share their beliefs to participate.
Not in Texas. While individual schools may allow homechoolers to participate in some school extracurricular activities, the University Interscholastic League (UIL) does not allow them UIL sanctioned events. In other words, you wouldn't be able to play in the games or participate in the competition for any other activities. Homeschoolers have set up their own teams to compete in baseball, basketball, football, softball, track and field, and volleyball.
No, not in Texas. But it's probably a good idea to, especially if you'll be moving to another state or plan on returning to public school. You don't have to create a report card or transcript unless you want to. At the younger ages, you know how your child did; do you need a transcript to tell you? You might if she is applying for summer academic programs. By high school, a transcript or portfolio substitute is a requirement for virtually all colleges. There are lots of ways to keep records but probably the most critical information to keep is a list of textbooks used. If you have that, you can probably create a transcript even three years after the fact.
Decomposition or deschooling refers to the time period that many children need after withdrawing from school to adjust to homeschooling. Depending on the situation, some kids have been so traumatized by their school experience that they'll reject anything that resembles school, including homework and tests. Others may take a while to get used to mom (or dad) as the teacher and performing without the threat of a poor report card. This period can be especially important for kids who are leaving a toxic situation at school. It's important not to recreate the situation at home that was causing problems in school.
You can always test them. Some states require homeschoolers to be tested or evaluated each year—not Texas. Just remember, testing isn't the only way to determine if a child is learning. Are they progressing in their math book? Can they explain to you what they just read? Do they attempt projects seen in videos or on the computer? This is a natural feeling for you, "have I screwed up and they'll be living under a bridge for the rest of their lives?" In my case, these bursts of panic, which happened every 9 to 12 month or so, ended up with me printing out the seventh grade TAKS or similar test for my son to take.
There many possibilities. Learn it with your kids. Hire someone else to teach it. Join a co-op so that they can learn from others. Take an online course (the child, not you.) If it's important enough, the kid will probably learn it himself—people learn to read for all kinds of reasons. Maybe it's not as important as you think since you've managed to go through life without knowing it.
No. Truancy happens when a child enrolled in a public school doesn't show up for class. So if you child isn't enrolled in public school, what can she be truant from—your own homeschool? There are no set days or hours for homeschooling in Texas. In other words, just because you aren't teaching on a certain day doesn't mean that your child is truant. Anyone who tries to tell you that your child will be truant if you withdraw them from public school and don't have your curriculum yet is just trying to sell you curriculum.

The Chicago Bulls are doing their part to reduce the gun violence in Chicago. The Bulls community kicked of Chicago Coalition for Intercommunalism Basketball Tournament at the Advocate Center. The basketball tournament consisted of four organizations: Zealous, Maafa, ConTextos, and Healthy Hood. Each organization came in with family and friends to enjoy the event. Healthy hoods kicked it off with the welcomes and then they begin to stretch to get ready for the hoops. "The tournament was fun," said Chicago rapper D-Low who repped Healthy Hood. "It feels good to be able to change the community and bring everyone together. Chicago is not only violence we have to show the world we can come together to end violence among each other. We have to show that we can go out and have a good time without anything negative happening."
The tournament consisted of four games with Healthy Hoods taking on ConTextos, and Zealous taking on Maafa. Healthy Hood won the first game 60-45 and Zealous won the second game 55-48. Healthy Hood went on and win the championship over Zealous holding the crown for the best in the tournament.
There were many in attendance, including Arne Duncan former chief executive officer of Chicago and former secretary of education. Duncan stated, "The goal is to bring Chicago back together and end gun violence. Many families and friends were impacted due to the violence of Chicago. This is just a start to something great, you just have to trust the vision and pray for the best."
The overall tournament was excellent and I believe it can make a huge impact if well executed. Yes, it will take time, but like Duncan said, trust the process and pray for the best. According to reports, Chicago has seen a decrease in gun violence by investing in youth violence prevention programs. Let's hope this progress continues.

Imagine walking to the moon, a mere 238,900 miles away. Sound intimidating? What if you had your friends, neighbors, and colleagues help? The Mohawk Valley, Southern Adirondack, and Upper Hudson Library Systems believe that together, the communities of the Capital Region can go the distance. To make it happen, the three library systems have secured a grant for the Library Moon Walk from the National Network of Libraries of Medicine.
Why a Moon Walk? We're encouraging people in the Capital Region to get moving and embrace healthy lifestyles. As part of the initiative, people can track how much they've moved on the website, librarymoonwalk.sals.edu. In addition to moving more, libraries in ten counties – Albany, Rensselaer, Fulton, Montgomery, Schoharie, Schenectady, Hamilton, Saratoga, Warren, and Washington – are hosting a wide variety of health-related programming, and helping people access authoritative health information from the National Library of Medicine through the Medlineplus.gov website.
"Public libraries have an important role to play in helping people lead healthy lives," said Lois Gordon, Outreach & Adult Services Coordinator for the Mohawk Valley Library System. "We're here to make it easy for people to improve their health, through movement, information, and resources."
"We've partnered with community-based health organizations to provide high-quality programs in libraries throughout the Capital Region," said Deanna DiCarlo, Manager, Adult & Outreach Services of the Upper Hudson Library System. "Public libraries are available to everyone in our region – we want to help our communities thrive."
The Library Moon Walk will run through April 30, 2019. Log your steps, minutes or miles.
"Everyone is invited to take part," said Erica Freudenberger, Outreach & Engagement Consultant at the Southern Adirondack Library System. "We know that together, we can make it to the moon – and beyond!"
The Library Moon Walk initiative is funded by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine awarded to the Mohawk Valley, Southern Adirondack, and Upper Hudson Library Systems. The initiative is designed to provide authoritative consumer health information to people from the Adirondacks to Albany, including robust health-related programming through public libraries. In addition, it aims to improve the health of communities in the Capital Region through the Library Moon Walk Challenge.

The latest developments in the Transnistrian case and the efforts of the national authorities to solve the political dispute, based on the principle of sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova, were the main topics of the discussion between Mr Tudor Ulianovschi, Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration and the diplomatic corps accredited in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, politicians, businessmen, journalists and representatives of civil society in England.
Presenting the latest developments in the Transnistrian conflict settlement process, Minister Tudor Ulianovschi mentioned that during the last meetings in the "5 + 2" format in Berlin, Vienna and Rome, significant progress has been made in promoting confidence-building measures between the two sides. "I will invoke in this respect the six protocol decisions concerning the opening of the bridge over the Dniester, from Gura Bacului to Baciuc, ensuring the good functioning of schools in Transnistria with Latin script teaching, the apostille of Tiraspol diplomas, the restoration of the telephone link between the two banks of the Dniester, the free access of the farmers from Dubasari district to their agricultural lands following the Tiraspol-Ribnita route, the admission of cars from the Transnistrian region to the international road traffic, which eventually enabled us to take a step forward in that direction", the head of Moldovan diplomacy said.
In this context, Minister Tudor Ulianovschi expressed his hope that this year's OSCE Chairmanship will contribute effectively to the development of this positive development, including ensuring the free movement of persons, goods and services between the two banks of the Dniester. "At the same time, I have to admit that the Republic of Moldova remains extremely vulnerable in case of an unprecedented hybrid war in the region, given my country's dependence on Russia's energy resources and trade with that country. We hope that in a near future, we will be able to diversify our energy sources and assert ourselves in the new markets, particularly in the European market, "said Tudor Ulianovschi.
Referring to the Draft Resolution on the withdrawal of foreign troops from the territory of the Republic of Moldova, included on the agenda of the UN General Assembly on 22 June 2018, the Minister of Foreign Affairs emphasized that it is a project based on the commitments set out by the Russian Federation and on the need to withdraw the Operational Group of the Russian Troops, according to the international law principles and the UN Charter, noting that the Republic of Moldova is expecting the support of the UN member states, based on the same principles of international law and the UN Charter - showing solidarity with Moldova's approach. At the same time, it was discussed the need to replace the current peacekeeping military mission with a multinational civil peacekeeping mission.
During the dialogue, the participants addressed several questions related to both the Transnistrian issue and the impact of the Ukrainian situation on regional and European security, the settlement of the dispute, etc. Some of the questions referred to the political situation in the Republic of Moldova, the prospects for the European direction of the country, and the parliamentary elections this year.

GREEN BAY – If there's a burgeoning feud with his star quarterback, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst is unaware of any internal strife.
Gutekunst said Monday he has seen reports of Aaron Rodgers' discontentment regarding a lack of involvement with personnel decisions. It's something Rodgers downplayed last week, saying he understands his job is to play quarterback. Rodgers also acknowledged disappointment with receiver Jordy Nelson's release.
"I've certainly seen what's been reported," Gutekunst said. "Nobody has voiced any frustrations to me or anything like that."

Rodgers has lost his favorite receiver and quarterbacks coach this offseason. On the day Nelson was released, Gutekunst said he informed his quarterback only after the decision. Rodgers also mentioned earlier this offseason he wasn't consulted with the decision to let quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt's contract expire.
Gutekunst, understandably "all consumed" with this week's NFL draft, said he hasn't had "hardly any discussion with our players" since the team's spring program began last week. But he made it clear his door is open for discussions, while also reiterating personnel decisions are his to make.
"I always want to listen to any of our players, our coaches, our scouts," Gutekunst said. "Ultimately, at the end of the day, it's my job to do the task at hand, which is make decisions for the Green Bay Packers on our roster. But I've always felt like I was a good listener. I've been listening a lot the last couple weeks and will continue to do so."

Hull City owner Assem Allam does not plan to attend any of the Championship club's matches this season.
The 76-year-old saw his bid to change the club's name to Hull Tigers denied by the Football Association for a second time last month.
Allam has closed the chairman's suite at the KC Stadium so visiting officials will be entertained elsewhere.
The decision applies to all of Allam's family, including his son Ehab, who is vice-chairman.
Allam, who has faced protests from the club's fans over the issue, is convinced that rebranding the club is the only way to bring new investment in from overseas markets.
The businessman took over at Hull in 2010 but put them on the market when his first attempt to change the name was rejected last year, and they remain for sale.


Quick geography lesson, the main tourist section of Quebec City is divided into Upper Town and Lower Town or Old Port. Quebec City's Upper Town will be a cultural experience that will delight your visual senses. Make a reservation for a guided walking tour and learn the extensive history of this magical village. Stroll along the old, quaint streets and check out the grey stone houses and religious establishments. The stone houses are made from granite, quarried nearby during the 1800s. For much of its early years Upper Town was the political, educational, and religious nerve center of the province and the country. Soaring above it all is the grandiose hotel the Château Frontenac. The romantic architecture of the hotel complements its idyllic surroundings, giving the city a distinctive reference point from which to explore. Built between 1893 and 1924, the Château Frontenac is a historical monument in the city's Upper Town. Upper Town of Old Quebec is encompassed by fortress walls. Overlooking the Saint Lawrence River, the Upper Town contains many of the city's most famous sites including the Château Frontenac, Place d'Armes, and Basilica of Notre-Dame. Everything here has been well preserved and restored and most of the buildings in this part of the city are hundreds of years old. What attracts many to Upper Town is the Dufferin Terrace, a pedestrian promenade that draws all ages for its magnificent views of the river and its water traffic. Speckled with green and white gazebos, the boardwalk offers a close view of what the area would have looked like 100 years ago.
Musée des Augustines de l'Hôtel-Dieu de Québec- the first hospital north of Mexico which doubles as a monastery and has been open to the public since 1958. It honors early religious missionaries in the Quebec area.
Musée des Ursulines de Québec- a museum that features paintings, sculptures, embroidery works, engravings, archive documents, furniture, and decorative art objects that tell of the life and educational work of the Ursulines in in the 17th century.
Promenade des Gouverneurs- 20-minute walk from Dufferin Terrace. Pathway that climbs up past the Citadelle and returns to Dufferin Terrace; takes hikers past the battery of cannons.
Jardin des Gouverneurs- Just west of Château Frontenac, this garden stands on the site of the mansion built to house the French governors of Quebec. The house's ruins lie buried under the Château after it burned in 1834. The park is the host of many shows and musical events during the summer.

Woodworking Tools Review
Ridgid MS1290LZA Saw, 12-Inch Compound Sliding Miter with Laser Review (2022)
Written by WoodWorkingHelp.org in Woodworking Blogs,Woodworking Tools ReviewLast Updated January 28, 2023
Ridgid's Ridgid MS1290LZA Saw is a 12-inch compound sliding miter with a laser, and it brings a new level of efficiency and innovation to the table for the industry. This saw is capable of making a wide variety of cuts thanks to its robust motor (rated at 15 Amps) and laser (with an adjustable blade depth). Ridgid has never produced a product that has let down its customers, and with this saw, the company demonstrated that it is both inventive and effective.
If you are thinking about purchasing one, the following are some of the most important things you should know:

'Enskinment of new Yaa-Naa is the Lord's doing' – Akufo-Addo
by Godwin Akweiteh Allotey
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is courting support for the new Yaa-Naa of Dagbon, Abubakari Mahama II.
He has thus urged the people of Dagbon to rally behind the new Yaa-Naa and offer him their full support in a bid to sustain the current peace being enjoyed in the area.
"To paraphrase the words of the Holy Scripture, the enskinment of Yaa-Naa Abubakari Mahama II is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our sight. Let us give him all the support he requires, as he sets about to administer the affairs of the state of Dagbon," he said.
Until today, January 25, 2019, Dagbon had been without a Yaa-Naa following years of protracted chieftaincy disputes which started in 2002 after the demise of the late King.
2019 Yale Young African Scholars program kicks off in Ghana July 25
The delayed final funeral rites of two previous Yaa-Naa's were conducted recently, after a road-map to peace developed by the Committee of Eminent Chiefs led by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, was adopted and implemented, paving the way for the coronation of Yaa-Naa Abubakari Mahama II today.
Speaking at the coronation in Yendi, President Nana Akufo-Addo described Yaa-Naa Abubakari Mahama II as a man of reconciliation and one under whose reign Dagbon will be united.
"Naa, I know you are a man of peace and unity. I know your selection as Yaa-Naa, you are a man of reconciliation. I believe you are the man to reconcile Dagbon, and blunt the age-old rivalry of Abudu versus Andani, and put Dagbon back on the path to sustained progress and prosperity, as was envisaged by one of the greatest figures in the history of Dagbon, the 18th Yaa-Naa, Naa Zangina."
He further urged the people of Dagbon to be decorous in their endevours in order not to erode efforts put in place to bring lasting peace to the area.
"Dagbon does not have to fear any external enemy. Dagbon is a great state, one of the most ancient traditional states of our history. It has survived many marauding forces and repelled many enemies. Dagbon can only be brought to its knees by internal malcontents, and it is our collective duty and in our collective interest to fend them off."
"I, therefore, call on the sons and daughters of Dagbon to unite behind the new Ya-Naa, Abubakari Mahama II. He is a man of experience and dignity, and I am confident he will discharge the duties of his new office with distinction."
President Akufo-Addo also assured that "I shall do everything in my power as President of the Republic to administer this role in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility."
On projects, President Akufo-Addo said a sum of GHc30 million has been approved by Cabinet for the provision of a new water project to replace the old one in the area.
He said the necessary documentation will be tabled before Parliament soon for approval to be made before the project is started.
"Cabinet approved GHc30 million water supply project that will replace the old water project. The project is now going to be sent to Parliament for approval before it begins," President Akufo-Addo added.
Background to the Dagbon conflicts
Though chieftaincy tensions in Dagbon existed since the 60s, the gruesome killing of Yaa-Naa Yakubu Andani II, in March 2002 in a coordinated attack on the palace, plunged Dagbon into years of intermittent violence.
Yaa-Naa Yakubu Andani II was dismembered and his head paraded on a spear after the killing with shocked the country.
The assailants also killed 39 of his elders.
Hundreds of lives have been lost, with properties destroyed in the age-long conflict in Dagbon, since the death of Ya Naa Yakubu Andani II.
In the wake of the escalating tensions, former President Kufuor set up the Otumfuo Committee of Eminent Chiefs to use all customary means available to settle the matter.
The Committee succeeded in greeting the Abudu and Andani royal gates to commit to the roadmap to peace despite several breakdowns of talks.
This led to the performance of the funeral rites of the two late Ya Naas; Naa Mahamadu Abdulai and Naa Yakubu Andani.
The funeral of the late Yaa Naa Yakubu Andani II, was held on Friday, January 18, 2019, with the then Yoo Naa, Alhaji Abubakari Mahama selected by the royal custodians of Dagbon to be enskinned as the new Yaa-Naa.
Abubakari Mahama was contesting with four others including the regent of Dagbon, Kampakoya Naa Abdulai Yakubu Andani, Bolin Lana Mahamadu Abdulai, and Tampion Lana.

Protips For Renting a Luxury Portable Toilet by Mapleton, Minnesota!
Selecting the correct porta potty solution ensures that your event will be remembered as a smooth time. Acquiring a portable toilet typically isn't the only thought on someone's mind when they're hosting a party, but the last thing you need is for guests to be waiting in long lines to use the restroom. You'll want to make sure you acquire the correct portable toilet solution, you should begin by reading about a few aspects of the portable toilet rental options that are out there.
Your porta potty choice could possibly be the most important part of your event, since the fun would be short lived if your guests can't relieve themselves rapidly enough. It's beneficial to have a bit of a education on portable toilets prior to making an important decision. In order to avoid long lines or disruptions, you'll have to ensure you have a basic knowledge of the types of porta potties available to you.
Choosing a good portable toilet service is first step to hosting a smooth event. You should go with a portable toilet rental service that has experience, a wide selection, a strong service record, and has the experience to work with you to get the best portable sanitation selection for your needs. Ask your portable toilet providers about how fast they can react in case there is a problem with any of their stalls during your big event, since no one wants to watch their attendees exit prematurely due to a emergency. There are many varieties of portable restrooms from standard portable toilets to upscale luxury restroom trailers, and all various types of toilets for a variety of purposes.
Your entry-level porta potty will be constructed of of plastic, have a single stall and will come with toilet paper along with some sort of hand sanitizer . If you have a smaller event, then you have the choice of setting up an outdoors hand washing basin, rather than rent the more expensive units that include an internal one. As you might know already, portable toilets don't have any plumbing, but rather they use chemicals to contain waste and are emptied afterwards . The substances are the blue liquid found at the bottom of a stall, and if you are renting long term, then you might need to ask about removal and replacement services.
Placement of your portable toilets is very important, whether you're hosting a wedding or a jobsite, if they're too far away it could really slow things down. You should make sure that your portable toilets are placed on dry, level ground and should be centrally located so that people have easy access to them, but not too close that they get in the way. The good thing about renting portable toilets is that you'll have the option to customize the toilets to match your individual needs. Even the nicest event can be spoiled by poor quality bathroom setups, which is why you need to think about the quality of your portable toilet rental.
Porta potty placement is always an important factor to consider in order to make sure guests will not have to travel a far distance to find a portable restroom. For most events, it makes the most sense to place porta potties off to the side in places that won't see a lot of regular foot traffic, that way it won't mess up regular activities. Keep in mind that the porta potty toilet stalls will need to be between 20 and 40 feet of access area for a pump truck to enter if you intend to get rid of their contents before you are done using them. You will also need to make sure they aren't placed too close to dining or food related areas, as you don't want possible odors to impact your guests.
Prior to finalizing your selection you will benefit from having an understanding of the different types of options that come with your porta potty rental. A basic portable toilet comes with with a few sanitary amenities like tissue paper, seat cover, a holding tank, dispenser, and door lock as well as indicators. You could even spring for a high end portable toilet that has a flushing option and more amenities like air fresheners or running water with a sink. Some of the selections you could choose include more upscale portable toilets with hand soap dispensers, washing stations and mirrors. These addons are great for large outdoor weddings or upscale events because guests will want to check how they look, and having an indoor light is a recommended amenity.
Depending on the type of portable toilet you choose and the length of time you'll be renting them for, your costs could be anywhere from on the low end to one hundred dollars if you are in a more expensive area. You absolutely won't want to misjudge and end up paying for more stall than you need, so it's important to rent the exact amount you want in order to save on costs. Choose the restroom rental agency that is close to the occasion's location as it can end up saving you some more money. In wedding seasons and on weekdays, rental vendors usually raise the price of portable restrooms. It is recommended to rent the portable toilets in advance during the slower season to get better prices. There's a lot of companies offering restroom rental options near your location, but as long as you ask the best questions and have an advance knowledge of the different selections, you can ensure you're getting the best prices.

Researchers assumed CRISPR-mediated disruption of genes was turning them off – but they were wrong
One-third of gene knockouts via CRISPR are not knockouts at all – and there are serious implications for gene-edited food plants. Report: Claire Robinson
A new study reveals yet another major unintended effect from the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool – with potentially serious implications for the food safety of gene-edited plants. The study found that CRISPR-Cas9 edits intended to knockout the function of a gene fail to do so. Instead, proteins are still produced from the damaged genes, many of which are still functional. The result could be the production of gene-edited plants that are toxic or allergenic.
This suggests existing CRISPR-edited plants with gene knockouts, such as the non-browning mushroom that has been de-regulated in the US, should be subjected to extensive safety checks, as they could contain new proteins or compounds that pose a food safety risk.
Every living cell contains genes that code for proteins that perform all essential functions that constitute a living organism, such as building the structures of our bodies, digesting food, or sensing the environment. However, many genes, and the proteins they code for, have unknown functions. In humans, one in five genes has an unknown function. One approach that scientists use to try to find out the function of proteins is to mutate (disrupt) the structure of the gene encoding a given protein and then monitor the consequences of this "knockout".
The invention of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool has allowed scientists to generate gene knockouts far more easily than was possible in the past. CRISPR-Cas9 makes a double-strand cut in the DNA to disable (knockout) a gene, which, scientists have hitherto believed, makes the proteins it codes for nonfunctional. Scientists can then watch what happens to cells or an entire organism as a result, inferring the lost function from what goes wrong.
Scientists were "terribly wrong"
As explained by an article in The Wire, the Cas9 enzyme searches the DNA, using a "guide RNA" to look for a specific sequence, and makes a cut where it finds a match. The gene, split in two, is repaired by the cell, but often results in varying lengths of DNA base units being deleted or added (indels). The Wire article explains, "Many scientists assume that if a chunk of a gene is missing then the protein that it encodes will not function, or even be produced" – but "In many cases, they would be terribly wrong."
The article highlights the new study, by researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany, which shows exactly why. Using HAP1 cells, a human cell line used for biomedical and genetic research, the researchers used CRISPR to make cuts in 136 different genes. In about a third of cases, proteins were still produced from these "damaged" genes – and many of the proteins remained partially functional.
What does this mean for plant gene editing?
London-based molecular geneticist Dr Michael Antoniou explained the relevance of the new study in a plant agricultural context: "Hundreds or thousands of gene knockouts via CRISPR have been reported in plants, with even more planned in the future. The new study implies that a third of these claimed CRISPR-mediated gene knockouts were not complete knockouts, but only partial knockouts. In some cases there was no reduction at all in gene expression because an almost fully functional protein was still made.
"Worryingly, the most frequent outcomes were truncations of the original protein or proteins with a central deletion within their structure. These mutant proteins may not only partially retain the function of the full-length protein, as reported in the study, but could also gain a novel function, with unknown consequences."
Dr Antoniou continued, "In gene-edited crops and foods with CRISPR-mediated gene knockouts of this type, such mutant proteins could give rise to an altered biochemistry which could lead to the production of novel toxins or allergens. Or the truncated protein itself could have toxic or allergenic qualities."
Will systematic characterization of protein expression solve the problems?
The authors of the new study conclude their paper by saying, "Our results imply that systematic characterization of residual protein expression or function in CRISPR–Cas9-generated KO [knockout] lines is necessary for phenotype interpretation."
However, Dr Antoniou said, "In order for plant genetic engineers to do this, they would have to conduct an in-depth molecular profiling of their edited plant in order to get a more complete picture of the consequences of the CRISPR edit, including any risks to the environment or health of the consumer. If they did carry out such profiling, it is likely that unintended differences will be found in the edited plant, making it non-substantially equivalent to its non-GM parent. At this point, a comprehensive toxicity and allergenicity assessment should be required, including long-term animal feeding studies."
But that's something that industry has never done with any GM food or crop. The few long-term feeding studies that have been carried out on GM foods and crops have been the work of scientists working outside the industry.
Study builds on earlier findings
This new study builds on earlier observations by Tuladhar and colleagues, which showed that in 50% of mammalian cell lines investigated, CRISPR-mediated gene knockouts resulted in an altered genetic code at the intended editing site with the production of a novel mRNA and/or protein.
The new study reveals additional mechanisms through which undesirable outcomes can occur at the intended editing site, with unknown consequences.
Non-browning mushroom should be investigated for safety
The discovery that undesirable outcomes can occur at the intended editing site through multiple mechanisms suggests that existing CRISPR-edited plants with gene knockouts, such as the non-browning mushroom that has been de-regulated in the US, should be subjected to extensive safety checks. The mushroom was engineered by knocking out one of six genes that encode for the browning effect after the mushroom has been cut into.
The developer of the mushroom, Yinong Yang of Pennsylvania State University in the USA, emphasized that it did not need to be regulated since it was free from transgenes (genes inserted from another organism) and only contained "small deletions in a specific gene". However, it is now evident that Yang and the US regulators should re-assess their claims of safety for this gene-edited mushroom in the light of the findings of the new study, as well as that of Tuladhar and colleagues. The simple "small deletion" in a single gene in the CRISPR-edited mushroom that is assumed to be innocuous may have led to the production of new proteins and altered biochemistry that pose a food safety risk. An Internet search has turned up no evidence that Yang has conducted thorough investigations that could show the mushroom to be safe to eat.
The new study also shows that Australia's decision to de-regulate gene-edited organisms of the class known as SDN-1 – involving just this type of gene knockout and the subsequent re-joining of the cut ends of the DNA by the cell's repair mechanism – is not scientifically defensible. This is because even supposedly simple deletions of a few DNA base units, performed with the aim of knocking out a gene, can result in the production of novel toxins or allergens.
Making the CRISPR tool more "precise" won't solve the problems
Dr Antoniou explained that both the findings of this latest study, as well as the earlier observations by Tuladhar and colleagues, show that undesirable effects occur at the site targeted for gene editing after the editing event has taken place; that is, the mutant proteins are produced after the editing event. He said, "These effects are completely independent of the gene-editing tool and the editing procedure as whole. Therefore no matter how precisely the editing event is targeted through future technological developments, the problematic outcomes highlighted by these studies are inevitable. There is no way of avoiding these issues because they arise from the innate properties of the basic molecular biology of gene expression.
"Thus people using CRISPR for gene knockout must do so with extreme caution, not only in the medical sphere but also in an agricultural context."
The new study:
Biological plasticity rescues target activity in CRISPR knock outs
Smits AH et al (2019). Nature Methods volume 16, pages1087–1093(2019)
Gene knock outs (KOs) are efficiently engineered through CRISPR–Cas9-induced frameshift mutations. While the efficiency of DNA editing is readily verified by DNA sequencing, a systematic understanding of the efficiency of protein elimination has been lacking. Here we devised an experimental strategy combining RNA sequencing and triple-stage mass spectrometry to characterize 193 genetically verified deletions targeting 136 distinct genes generated by CRISPR-induced frameshifts in HAP1 cells. We observed residual protein expression for about one third of the quantified targets, at variable levels from low to original, and identified two causal mechanisms, translation reinitiation leading to N-terminally truncated target proteins or skipping of the edited exon leading to protein isoforms with internal sequence deletions. Detailed analysis of three truncated targets, BRD4, DNMT1 and NGLY1, revealed partial preservation of protein function. Our results imply that systematic characterization of residual protein expression or function in CRISPR–Cas9-generated KO lines is necessary for phenotype interpretation.

If ever there were a beautiful day for a Burien Public Art Walk-n-Talk, it was this last Sunday, August 4. Twenty people gathered on a sunny afternoon at the Burien Community Center Annex, near the skate park, to begin the walking tour of Burien's Public Art. The walk also launched WABI Burien's third year of its monthly Walk-n-Talks.
Burien PaRCS recently finished its project, working with Maureen Hoffmann, to develop a walking tour, printed map, signage and web site for twenty-three pieces of art in Burien's public realm. These pieces include those owned by the City of Burien, King County, King County Library System, and a private owner. The maps will be available for free at Burien City Hall, the Burien Public Library, the community center and annex, Discover Burien, local businesses and other public venues.
When those in the walking group arrived at the "Dancer" sculpture, located in front of the King County District Courthouse, they were joined by sculptor Philip Levine, who spoke about the creation of the Dancer and other pieces of his work. Walkers heard about his casting and production processes and some of the thinking behind the project.
The walking tour began at the Community Center Annex, wound through Dottie Harper Park, to the Courthouse, the Transit Center, the Mural, Library and City Hall, Town Square Park and along SW 152nd St. We ended with special iced tea* and snacks at Phoenix Tea in Olde Burien.
* A blend of 50% Nilgiri from India and 50% Dian Hong from Yunnan, China, without any sweeteners.
The Burien Public Art site is a subsection of the City's web site. It provides more in-depth information about the artists, their background and the materials used, as well as additional photos.
When looking for a comfortable stroll around town, and wanting to discover some of the artistic gems around town, consider taking the Burien Public Art walking tour. You'll likely find something that's new to you.
Walkers head south from the Community Center Annex toward Dottie Harper Park.
This is one of the new public art signs, now installed around Burien. Keep your eyes open for the bright blue background, then read about the art piece nearby.
Walkers stopped at one of the sculptures located in Dottie Harper Park, "Ghost Dancing", by Richard Beyer.
Local sculptor, Philip Levine, talked about the creation of his piece "The Dancer", located at the courthouse.
"The Dancer" by Philip Levine, was nicely silhouetted against the day's blue sky.
Frequent walker, Dave, stopped at "Waiting for the Bus", located near Bartell's, with Public Art Map in hand.
Walkers admired Augustina Droze's mural "Sacred Circles" from across the street.
Some of the walkers posed at the base of "Helios Pavilion", by James Harrision, at Burien Town Square Park.
Sybil, from the organization "Burien Arts", and Kathya, from the Burien Arts Commission, enjoyed the ice tea and snacks offered by Arts Commission Chair, Virginia Wright, at Phoenix Tea in Olde Burien.

Philipp Jakob Sattler (≈ 30. April 1695 in Wenns, Tirol; † 20. Mai 1738 in Olmütz) war ein österreichischer Bildhauer des Spätbarock, der in Mähren tätig war.

Leben
Philipp Sattler war das siebente Kind des Bildhauers Klemens Sattler und der Maria Köllin. Nach dem Tod des Vaters im Jahr 1701 verschwindet die Familie aus den Matriken von Wenns und zog anscheinend nach Ried im Oberinntal, der Heimat der Mutter, da Sattler anlässlich seiner Hochzeit im Trauungsbuch der Mauritzkirche in Olmütz als aus Ried stammend bezeichnet wird. Weiters ist zu vermuten, dass er in Ried bei Andreas Kölle, einem Verwandten, das Bildhauerhandwerk erlernt hat.

Wo Sattler während seiner Wanderjahre als Geselle gewesen ist, ist nicht belegt. Wahrscheinlich ist ein Aufenthalt in Italien, da er von der italienischen Kunst beeinflusst war, und sicher ein Aufenthalt in Znaim, da er dort die Tochter des Ratsherrn Ferdinand Beck, Anna Maria, kennengelernt haben muss, die er am 17. Februar 1721 in Olmütz heiratete. Wann er in die Stadt gekommen ist, ist nicht bekannt. Am 24. März 1721 wurde Sattler Meister und am 29. April 1723 Bürger in Olmütz. Einen Tag später kaufte er das Haus "Zur goldenen Rose" in der Bernhardinergasse 8, der heutigen Slovenská ul. Belegt ist, dass er am Neujahrstag Vorgeher der Olmützer Schützengesellschaft war.

Sattler hatte fünf Kinder, von denen seine Tochter Maria Veronika mit dem Maler Johann Christoph Handke verheiratet war. Sein Sohn Josef Ignaz erlernte bei Handke die Malkunst. Sattler starb bereits mit 43 Jahren, wohl an den Folgen einer für Steinbildhauer typischen Lungenkrankheit, und wurde am 22. Mai 1738 unter dem Geläute aller Glocken auf dem St.-Mauritz-Friedhof begraben, was von seinem Ansehen schon zu Lebzeiten zeugt.

Werk

Neben Johann Sturmer war Philipp Sattler der bedeutendste Bildhauer seiner Zeit in Olmütz. Obwohl nur wenige Jahre aktiv, hinterließ er ein umfangreiches Werk an Steinfiguren, Bildschnitzereien und Stuckaturen in der Stadt und der Umgebung. Bedeutende Projekte entstanden in Gemeinschaft mit dem Steinmetzmeister Wenzel Render und dem Maler Johann Christoph Handke.

We expect the offerings described below to expand over time. These offerings are intended to provide opportunities for people to explore their spiritual selves in various ways. We invite you to come and experience these practices, exploring which of them help to connect you to the Sacred.
On Tuesday evenings, after darkness has fallen, we offer our beautiful Chapel, with a labyrinth inlaid into the floor, as a space for contemplation and meditation in whatever way you desire. You may stay for the whole hour, or come and go during that hour as you are moved to do so. We invite you to light a candle as you enter the space. You may sit, stand, walk the labyrinth, do whatever you wish to do in a way that honor's the space of others who may be present. Recorded contemplative music is played for part of this time, and silence is held for part of this time. The time is hosted by a facilitator. We ask that you enter through the main doors of Angus Hall and use the side Chapel entrance (follow the signs!) rather than using the main Chapel entrance to minimize the noise as people enter and leave.
We offer a short (about 30 minutes), informal Eucharist in the Chapel on Wednesdays at 12:10 pm that includes prayers for healing for ourselves, others, and the world, as well as laying on of hands with prayer and anointing with oil.
On Friday mornings, a service of Morning Prayer is offered in the Chapel. This brief service (about 30 minutes) is shared by a small group that gathers to pray this traditional morning prayer offering of the Christian community.
