Description: Since its creation in 1990, Ottawa's International Peace Garden has featured a display of early-blooming tulips every spring.
In 1990, the City of Ottawa and the Canadian Tulip Festival (an annual event that dates back to the postwar period) presented the United States with a "peace garden" to celebrate the world's longest undefended border. The dedication of that garden inspired the 1991 creation of the International Peace Garden Foundation, a charitable organization that promotes human rights and advances global friendship. The foundation works with the Canadian Tulip Festival to coordinate the annual gift of a peace garden from country to country, with the latest participant choosing which country to honour next. More gardens have since been created all over the world, from Italy to Japan.

Description: Canadensis presents Beyond the Edge: Artists' Gardens – a land art exhibition, first shown in 2014. The exhibition explored the notion of a rural oasis in the heart of an urban centre. In 2016, Canadensis Botanical Garden Society partnered with the Canada Council Art Bank to present outdoor works by a group of artists who created installations in response to three outdoor sculptures on loan from the Art Bank collection. Three new installations have been added to the site for a total of 6 unique experiences. An attractive, modern sun shelter has also been constructed at the site designed by graduate students from Carleton University's Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism students. The site is a wonderful picnicking venue set in an inspiring, urban, pastoral landscape.
Canadensis, The Garden of Canada: Master Plan
The Master Plan design intends to transform the 34 acre piece of fallow Central Experimental Farm land just south of the National Arboretum, into a modern meaningful botanical masterpiece of international standing. Imagine! Visitors may be able to travel by water taxi from downtown Ottawa, heading towards the distant silo – a vertical garden tower that will act as a visible landmark, an architectural and horticultural statement in the heart of the Garden. Stepping off the boat at a landing by the Hartwells Locks on the Rideau Canal, they can join other visitors already enjoying the multiple attractions of Canadensis, The Garden of Canada.

Description: This garden commemorates the union of Canada's provinces and territories. Its design includes a mixture of long-flowering and strong-stemmed perennials, as well as ornamental grasses, mimicking the landscape of the prairies, the tundra and rocky shorelines of Canada's coasts.
The Garden of the Provinces and Territories is one of Canada's foremost Modernist landscapes. Proposed in the Gréber Plan of 1950 and designed in 1960 by landscape architect Donald W. Graham (1930-2017), the Garden of the Provinces was created to celebrate the provinces of Confederation in anticipation of Canada's centennial year. In 2005, it became known as the Garden of the Provinces and Territories.
Construction began in early October of 1961. The Garden was officially opened by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker on September 25, 1962.
The Garden is composed of two parts: a one-acre park of formal terraces and plantings at the corner of Sparks and Bay streets, and an adjacent 4-acre park with a picturesque landscape of lawns and plantings sloping westward.
The terraces were organized so they can be viewed, approached and enjoyed from several different angles and vantage points. The large upper terrace was designed as a rigorous grid pattern of raised planting beds and trees, and surface patterns of concrete aggregate pavers bordered by smooth finished limestone.
On the west side of the upper terrace is a sculptural fountain entitled Great Lakes, designed by landscape architect Emil G. Vandermeulen with consulting engineers Adjeleian and Associates.
The most prominent element of the lower terrace is the stainless-steel water sculpture entitled Tree Fountain, created by Montreal sculptor Norman Slater. Spouts of water pour into a pool, flowing beneath stepping stones into a larger pool where the sculpture stands 6 metres tall as a symbol of Canada's forests.
The individual provinces and territories are represented by bronze plaques and floral insets mounted to the inner face of the granite balustrades, and groupings of provincial, territorial and Canadian flags flying atop 40-foot bronze flag poles.
Between 2004 and 2009, the fountains and the masonry of the garden was restored and accessible ramps connecting the terraces and the street were added. The Coat of Arms was also updated, and the site became known as The Garden of the Provinces and Territories.
In 2015, the NCC added 10,000 plants to the site, representative of species found across Canada's provinces and territories. The Garden of the Provinces and Territories lives on as one of Canada's most important landscape designs of the modern era.
MINTO VERTICAL GARDEN

Description: Minto Place is the primary shopping centre in downtown Ottawa, Canada's capital city. It's only a few blocks from the parliament and most of the major international embassy's, including the US embassy, the largest US government building outside of the US itself.
The architect wanted to give the wall a strong, interesting look for all building employees and visitors to enjoy. The Green Wall design from the architects features unique rectangular shapes filled with similar plants of different colours. The rectilinear areas incorporated stainless steel separators that framed each section like a piece of art. It contains low-light plants because the atrium's skylight did not provide much (especially in winter).

Services for Visitors: Parking $ – Wheelchair Accessible – Child Friendly – Café and Eating Areas nearby
Description: Jos Montferrand's sculpture, which was donated to Gatineau by the Mosaïcultures internationales, has found a new home. The giant artwork will be installed at the exit of Highway 50 on Montcalm Street, the cultural hub of the municipality.
Last March, the City of Gatineau awarded the $54,000 contract to the Mosaïcultures to take charge of the maintenance of the work, which will be on display for one year. Not having the expertise within its employees, the Municipality chose this option to maintain the sculpture. The city council will have to decide what to do next.
About Jos Montferrand: Joseph Montferrand, better known as Jos Montferrand, is still considered one of the greatest figures of French Canadian legend. The hero is referred to by many different names across North America, including Montferan, Muffraw, Mouffreau, Mufferoin, Maufree and Murphy. While he is closely associated with the Ottawa Valley, this lumberjack, log driver, foreman, raftsman and strongman was not born and raised there. He did, however, spend half of his life in the region, drawn by the forest industry that proved to be the economic force of the Ottawa Valley in the 20th century. It was also in this region that he became a character of legend; today, there is no way to distinguish his real exploits from those that are purely folklore.

From there, the freshly grown herbs will be used in one of NAC's restaurants, Le Café. Additionally, the NAC added two new beehives; the bees will pollinate the gardens and make honey.
The new program was created over the past year out of a collaboration with the NAC, the Compost Council of Canada, Tomlinson Organics and Gees Bees Honey Company. The composting program is designed to replace plastic food and drinking containers with compostable, plant-based alternatives.
An estimated 500,000 wine and beer cups, utensils, straws and plates used by visitors at the NAC annually will be diverted from landfills due to the new project.

SPAO PHOTOSYNTHESIS GARDEN
Garden Name: "Hanged" Photosynthesis Garden
Location: SPAO (School of Photographic Arts in Ottawa)
Address: 77 Pamilla St, Ottawa, ON K1S 3K7
Services for Visitors: Street Parking – Washrooms – Wheelchair Accessible
Description: Hanged is a collaborative installation inspired by The Pansy Project by the British artist Paul Harfleet and implemented by artist Deborah Margo and the SPAO Centre Gallery for its Photo-Synthesis Garden. Since 2005, Harfleet has been planting pansies at sites of homophobic abuse; he finds the nearest source of soil to where the incident occurred and generally without civic permission plants one unmarked pansy. The flower is then photographed in its location and titled after the abuse. The garden includes a planting of pansies that will evolve over the summer and include other flowers whose names have double meanings, as well as photographs by Paul Harfleet.
The titles of Harfleet's photographs reveal the frequent reality of negative LGBTQ2+ experiences, which often go unreported to authorities. The artist began by planting pansies to mark his own experiences of homophobia on the streets of Manchester, U.K.; over the last fourteen years Paul has planted pansies around the world, from Paris, London, Washington, Istanbul and most recently in Ottawa.
The title of the Photo-Synthesis Garden installation, as well as the inclusion of hanging photographs, references those members of the community that are publicly hanged as punishment for sodomy in Iran and around the world.
SPAO has partnered with Qu'ART, the Ottawa Queer Arts Collective, to present Hanged and the exhibition Summer Camp as part of the Qu'ART meta-festival, a year-long collaborative program that broadens LGBTQ2+ artistic activity and encourages inter-generational knowledge-sharing within our communities.

There are significant structural differences between the mouth and pharyngeal cavity of birds and mammals. It is usual to refer to a common oropharyngeal cavity of birds because the soft palate, which forms such an obvious delineation between the mouth and pharyngeal cavity, is absent. Six male adult ostriches were used to study the oropharyngeal cavity and its components including the beak, hard palate, pharynx, tongue and the larynx macroscopically. This study revealed that these components in ostrich have different features from other birds. In the ostrich, the beaks are spoon-shaped and the tongue is characterized by a short, broad and semicircular form. The hard palate is concave with a prominent median mucosal fold in its 2/3 rostral area and two oblique choanal slits in its caudal third area. The roof of pharynx presents infundibular slit in midline, a deep concave notch in caudal border and pharyngeal tonsils on its dorsal surface. The larynx protrudes from the floor of pharynx and consists of the unpaired cricoid cartilage and the paired arytenoid cartilages.

The Lion in Freemasonry
The several allusions to the "king of beasts" that we encounter in our Masonic ritual are generally accepted as exclusively biblical. This is not, however, the fact.
The great significance of the Lion in all manner of symbolic associations dates from the first inception of the zodiacal system of measuring the heavens and timing the great astronomical cycles, which appointed the sign of a Lion, the fiercest and most redoubtable of beasts, as that of the summer solstice, the moment of the year's most ardent solar vigor.
Speaking as astrologers are wont to express these things, the sign of the Lion is the "House of the Sun," and the terms have thus come to be practically synonymous. It is interesting to Masons who carry the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" as one of the armorial quartering of their Royal Arch banner and on the seals of many Grand Lodges to know that the current Masonic date is arrived at by adding the number of years BCE (approximately, the true number being 399.5) at which the summer solstice entered the sign of the Lion to the year AD in which we happen to be.
The truest manner of carrying on the calendar is by means of the slow movement of the equinoctial points round the circle of the ecliptic, which accounts for every instant of time without the necessity of computing leap years and extra months; but in the course of time these points inevitably passed through and out of given signs into their neighbors', which occasioned great confusion, as each time this occurred a disturbance of religious symbolisms with which people had been familiar for several thousand years ensued. In all the cases of which we have record such changes have been made the basis of new religious conceptions which have affected universal revolutions.
The change from the Lion to Crab in BCE 1835 was the occasion of the organization of the Israelites, the "Tropics" taking, thenceforth, the names of "Cancer" and "Capricorn," and the next change, 2,160 years later, brought out the edict of Constantine the Great declaring Christianity the religion of the Roman Empire, for this was the occasion of the great Council of Nice in AD 325.
The Hebrew name of the Lion especially relates to this periodical change; for it is ARIH or 1+200+10+5, equaling 216, the digits of 2160, which added together, make 9 or 3 times 3. The God of Israel was the mathematical center of the universe, the point within the circle of the ecliptic, which was supposed to be its outer edge, and His symbolism resided in the "four beasts," which still constitute the arms of the fraternity,-the Lion, Eagle, Bull, and Man, referred to in the first chapter of Ezekiel.
Osiris being awakened by Anubis while his soul hovers above, about to return to the body. Note the bier in the form of a Lion.
These are the second, fifth, eighth, and eleventh signs, their numbers adding to 26, that of the "Great and Sacred Name" JHVH (Jehovah).
We have frequently had to refer to this number 216 in the course of these papers as the sum of the cubes of 3, 4 and 5 and of the number 6. It is the basis of the ancient names for "man" and "woman."
"IshU and IshAH," and is one of the most important numbers of the Hebrew Kabbalah, in the depths of which lie buried the nature secrets of which the Torah gives only the external hints.
The prevalence of this Lion-Eagle-Bull-Man symbol all over the ancient world is proof positive of the contention of the Israelites that at one time all the peoples of the earth worshiped the true God, but with the exception of themselves fell into idolatry. India, Persia, Babylonia, Assyria, Phoenicia, and Egypt all employed these figures in various ways, but especially that of the Lion, which, representing the Sun, was adopted as the symbol of divinely bestowed royalty.
The name of King Solomon, whose throne was approached through an avenue of 12 lions, was composed of the letters S-L-M-N, which as 60-30-10-50 represented the lion cube 2160. All of these things are parts of a huge puzzle which tended to show that no matter in what direction man went or under what aspect man studied the universe, the Great Architect, Jehovah, was always at the center of every situation.
Hailing the risen Horus. Masked Hierophants in the ancient Egyptian Mysteries, from Tomb painting.
Therefore the "Lion of Judah" is neither more nor less than the "Lion of JHVH;" for one has only to exchange one of the H's, which is a 5, for DA or 4+1 to see that the word is the same.
In the great cosmic year drama of which we have been talking the fruitful principle of nature, slain by the vicissitudes of winter, must be raised to restored vigor and vitality, which is not attained until the young spring sun has attained the sign of the summer solstice.
From BCE 1835 Aries the lamb was the sign of the vernal equinox; while Cancer the crab was that of the summer solstice.
The Egyptians made much of this symbolism, because the rise of the Nile and the consequent fertility of their land occurred at the latter period.
Now on the circle of the ecliptic the spring equinox and the summer solstice are just 90 degrees apart. The Egyptians reckoned the speed of the sun at a degree a day ; although they lost five days and six hours thereby, which was overtaken at the end of the year. Just two weeks after the summer solstice the wonderful dog star Sirius, or Anubis as the Egyptians called it, first rose with the sun and at the same time the floodgates of the Nile were loosened. Adding 14 days to 90 gives 104.
Anyone who will take the trouble to examine a map of the heavens will see that the sign of the Crab lies just under the outstretched paw of Leo the lion, while the number 104 is four times 26, one of the most sacred of the old cabalistic formulas. Expressed in Jod's, Ha's, and V's, the name of the power that gives new life to nature is JHVH HIH HVVH VI= . "Jehovah, who Overt, who art, and who ever shall be."

Q: Azure SignalR withAutomaticReconnect() "Error: Connection disconnected with error"... on Angular8 & Asp.Net Core 3.1 I am using  Azure SignalR on Asp.Net Core 3.1 and Angular8. I also user withAutomaticReconnect() option on client side.  It connect with azure signalr successfully. But after some times it show this error message and connected to the WebSocket again.

A:
Error: Connection disconnected with error 'Error: Server timeout elapsed without receiving a message from the server.'

The default serverTimeoutInMilliseconds value is 30,000 milliseconds (30 seconds), if this timeout elapses without receiving any messages from the server, the connection will be terminated with above error.
Please check if you configured/changed KeepAliveIntervaloption of your SignalR hub server.
When changing KeepAliveInterval, we should change the serverTimeoutInMilliseconds setting on the client side. And the recommended serverTimeoutInMilliseconds value is double the KeepAliveInterval value.
For example:
On hub server, change KeepAliveInterval to 1 minute
services.AddSignalR(hubOptions =>
{
    hubOptions.KeepAliveInterval = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1);
}).AddAzureSignalR();

On client side, change serverTimeoutInMilliseconds to 2 minutes
this.hubConnection.serverTimeoutInMilliseconds = 120000;

Test Result

I have this habit of thinking that I'm the worst. I often feel sorry for the people in my life and the fact they have to put up with me. I feel bad for the friends who hang out with me, the people I work with, and my family for being stuck with me. That sounds awful no? Thinking that you are a burden for everyone in your life. Every moment you are wondering what people are doing surrounding you. Wondering why people will be texting you. Questioning if people are your friends out of "pity." On my struggle days is when I think this the most. I often cry thinking that everyone hates em and no one cares. I sometimes believe that it is best to run away and to live a life of solitude.
On days when I'm doing well, I don't feel like this. I even convince myself that I'm a catch and worth everything. That maybe I'm an amazingly lovely woman. That maybe people should care about me and want to be around me. That is only on the good days, though.
Most days, I am somewhere in between. I go back and forth. One moment I'm feeling good about myself, then something small happens, just a little trigger, and I'm back to feeling like I'm the worst. I'm sensitive to others. This doesn't bode well with anxiety and depression. I usually trust my intuition, but I often get that mixed up with anxiety and depression. I trust my gut when it tells me that I'm a mess up and push it aside when I feel good.
I like the days I'm doing well. I like the days when I can tell the difference between my gut and my anxiety and depression. The days when I don't second guess myself and believe that I'm enough. I appreciate those days. I wish they came more.
I'm doing my best with the days I do have. Sometimes I turn to loved ones when I need reassurance. I wish I didn't even need that, but sometimes I do. I'm learning to be okay with and learning how to believe in myself without outside validation. It's a process, and I am getting there. Even now my low days aren't as low as they used to be. So I keep moving forward and doing my best to give myself positive self-talk. The only thing I can do is tackle one day at a time.


The last session in the series will explore if and how Christians could or should be involved in the death of Liberalism and the development of a post-liberal society.
Speaker The Right Reverent Jonathan Clark, Bishop of Croydon.
The session take place at the Grosvenor Chapel beginning at 7pm with a soup and cheese dinner, followed by a lecture with time for questions and answers. The evening finishes with Compline at 8:30pm.

What you mean by immunity?
Can you refuse immunity?
What is an example of qualified immunity?
What are the three types of sovereign immunity?
Prosecutors offer immunity when a witness can help them or law enforcement make a case.
But prosecutors will often give immunity to a person who has committed minor crimes in order to compel that person to testify against someone who has committed more significant offenses..
In the United States, qualified immunity is a legal principle that grants government officials performing discretionary functions immunity from civil suits unless the plaintiff shows that the official violated "clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known".
Diplomatic immunity is a form of legal immunity that ensures diplomats are given safe passage and are considered not susceptible to lawsuit or prosecution under the host country's laws, although they may still be expelled.
In U.S. law there are two types of criminal immunity—transactional immunity and use immunity. … To compel cooperation by the witness, use immunity must also protect the witness from derivative use—that is, from use of information obtained from the witness to locate other witnesses or evidence against that witness.
The grant of immunity impairs the witness's right to invoke the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination as a legal basis for refusing to testify. Per 18 U.S.C. § 6002, a witness who has been granted immunity but refuses to offer testimony to a federal grand jury may be held in contempt.
An "immunity motion" is a pre-trial motion to dismiss criminal charges under the authority of 776.032, where it appears that the accused person (1) acted in self defense; and (2) used only the degree force that was necessary to defend himself, herself, or another.
Immunity is your body's ability to recognize germs to prevent them from causing illness. The immune system's job is to help identify and eliminate dangerous germs that enter the body before they can cause disease or damage. There are two types of immunity: innate and adaptive.
A lawyer granted witness immunity, although protected from criminal prosecution, is still subject to discipline for the underlying misconduct revealed by his or her testimony.
Sometimes a prosecutor may bargain with someone who is suspected of a crime if they are believed to have information about other criminal activity. In exchange for testifying against someone else, the witness may receive immunity from prosecution.
n an exemption that displaces the privilege against self-incrimination; neither compelled testimony or any fruits of it can be used against the witness who therefore can no longer fear self-incrimination. Synonyms: use immunity Types: transactional immunity.

ANSWER. Immunity is protection from disease.
Generally, freedom from legal obligation to perform actions or to suffer penalties, as in "immunity from prosecution". Specific types of immunity are separately defined and discussed.

If a witness tries to answer questions selectively, those answers can be interpreted as a waiver of Fifth Amendment privilege. … Once a prosecutor grants immunity, the threat of being a witness against oneself evaporates, and the person is compelled to testify. Refuse, and you can be held in contempt of court.
For instance, when a police officer shot a 10-year-old child while trying to shoot a nonthreatening family dog, the Eleventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals held that the officer was entitled to qualified immunity because no earlier case held it was unconstitutional for a police officer to recklessly fire his gun into a …

Q: Expected number of different outcomes Let's say I roll a fair die $4$ times. What is the expected number of different outcomes to be seen?
What I mean by "number of different outcomes to be seen" is as follows: If the result of the outcomes is $1233$ then it is $3$.
My try:
I tried enumerating like in the previous question I asked. It seems tedious. Any other method to solve this?
Help appreciated!

A: One method:

*

*the probability a particular outcome is not seen is $\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^4$

*the expected number of outcomes not seen is $6\,\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^4$

*the expected number of outcomes seen is $6-6\,\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^4 = \dfrac{6^4-5^4}{6^3} \approx 3.10648$

A: For $i=1,\dots,6$ let $X_i$ take value $1$ if outcome $i$ shows up and let it take value $0$ otherwise.
Then $X:=X_1+\cdots+X_6$ is the number of different outcomes.
With linearity of expectation and symmetry we find:$$\mathsf EX=6\mathsf EX_1=6\mathsf P(X_1=1)=6\left(1-\left(\frac56\right)^4\right)$$

Finding your passion can take a bit of searching. When you identify it, don't wait for permission from someone else to act on it. Kristina Kuzmic embodies this mindset, going from down-and-out to a social media sensation that Huffington Post calls "parenting comedy at its finest."

An Avalanche of Change
Success rarely comes fast and easy. The process of identifying your passion, finding a way to act on it, and sustaining follow-through can be tough. No one knows this better than social media sensation Kristina Kuzmic. She's received rave reviews from People Magazine for her fun, parenting videos on YouTube and has upwards of a quarter of a million followers on Facebook.
Her confidence shines through her smile and you'd never guess that just a few years before, she was recovering from a marriage break-up and living in one room with her two kids. She bought them bunk beds and slept on the floor next to them. They got by on food stamps and her three part-time jobs. Though she dreamed of better things, she had no idea of what dramatic changes were about to happen.
Kuzmic wanted to find meaningful work but had no idea where to start, so her new husband handed her the car keys and said, "Go. Take a drive and figure it out." Her career goals, it turned out, were not lofty. She wanted to create fun videos for YouTube. So she did, and people loved them. When a friend encouraged her in 2010 to submit an application to The Oprah Network contest for a new show, she did. Less than a month later she got a call from the producers and ended up with her own cooking show, "The Sticky Cook". She also ended up with a brand new car courtesy of Oprah.
Kuzmic's head was spinning from the rapid-fire change in her life and she remarks, "Instead of giving me a glass slipper, Oprah gave me a car!" Something about that struck home, and Kuzmic says, "I had been feeling like a loser and a failure, but when I got the Oprah show I realized that Oprah believed in me more than I believed in myself. It hit me like a ton of bricks, but the good kind of bricks, not the bad ones."
People often have difficulty pinpointing their passion or purpose. Kuzmic's advice for that is to "try just paying attention to what gives you goose bumps. Write that down. I had a whole list of random notes in my phone." When you have accumulated 100 notes or so, review them and look for a common thread. "That is your passion," Kuzmic says, "build on that." In working with her own passion, Kuzmic found her vision unfolding and realized that she wanted her videos to support and encourage moms.
Don't Wait for Permission
The only problem with the video idea was that Kuzmic didn't have a good camera and she didn't know how to edit. All around her she saw people waiting for permission, for some third party to tell them their idea was good and it was okay to move forward. In her own life that wasn't happening, so she decided to put her videos out herself.
"No more excuses. I'm just going to get this done," she said. With her do-it-yourself attitude Kuzmic made plenty of mistakes, but she kept moving forward. She realizes there must be others like herself, who berate themselves for making mistakes. "If that person is out there," laughs Kuzmic, "just remember that I have a video I posted where you can't hear me talking."
Just a Good Friend
Kuzmic's told that viewers think of her as a friend they want to hang out with, laugh with, and open up to. Her response? "That was the nicest thing anyone ever said to me." Her real, raw, and authentic nature draws followers to her. "What surprises me the most," says Kristina, "are the moms who pour their hearts out to me. It really motivates me."
Managing Fears and Insecurities
Everyone has fears and insecurities, and Kuzmic is no exception. "I still have feelings of being a total loser and failure, but I also have a choice. I can let the fear win, or I win… but I have those days, like, oh my god, somebody tell me I'm doing okay and all my kids won't end up in prison!"
Monday Wine Milkshakes
"I'm starting a series of videos called Monday Wine Milkshakes," says Kuzmic. "I'm going to remind you that you are a badass and that there is always dessert." There are plenty of speaking engagements for Kuzmic these days too, and she says she gets a high from them. It's a growing part of her business and she loves the chance to tell her story in hopes it will inspire someone.
Do Something for Someone Else
When asked what she would say if given the chance to speak to a mom just like she was, Kuzmic doesn't hesitate. She takes us back to that bleak period in her life and how she was feeling pretty down. She had read that if you want to feel better you should do something for someone else. With no money for a babysitter, volunteering wasn't an option. But she still wanted to give to others, so she sent out messages to her friends that every Wednesday she would host a community dinner. They should come and also invite anyone they knew who needed a good meal or companionship. Determined despite no budget to feed a large group, Kuzmic went to the dollar store, bought macaroni and cheese, and embellished it with her own special touch. Not only did Kristina feel better, but her guests left that night with full stomachs and a smiles on their faces.

Q: where can I learn the limitations of /LEV:n option of Robocopy command Hey I am moving a file server to another datacenter. I use robocopy but I don't know the limits of the /LEV:nutility. Is this "n" can be 100 or something for some crazy admins? I searched but I didn't find any info about the maximum level size of LEV.
(I am new around here and also in these type of jobs. So please inform me before giving negative feedback)

A: The limit is higher than you'll be able to actually make use of.
I was able to get it to accept a value of 999999999, but at 1000000000, it threw ERROR : Invalid Parameter #3 : "/lev:1000000000".  Presumably, this means that the parameter will accept numbers up to 9 decimal places long, but not 10, making the maximum value 1 less than a billion.
Of course, you'll run into path length limits long before that, and I frankly can't even begin to imagine a use for high values in the lev parameter.
This done in Windows 7, SP1, with PowerShell 4, if anyone cares to check other OS and/or robocopy versions for comparison, though it seems like a thoroughly pointless exercise to me.
Behold my fearsome screenshot, which shows me trying to copy my C drive to a subfolder on the C drive.  I cancelled the operation as quickly as I could, of course.


It is a servo-pendulum windvane. It is the most widely proven principle for a windvane. This principle offers a great sensitivity-strength balance.
The windvane is a fast and efficient steering system. The servo-pendulum system consists of a [sensor-vane] which transmits the change in the wind direction to the windvane rudder. This moves laterally on reception of the signal. The rudder is attached to the tiller by [lines] which move the tiller or wheel that steer the sail boat.
The height of the windvane mast can be customized to suit your sailboat design offers.
The lengh of the servo pendulum shaft is available in various lengths.
The weight is approximately 9kg for the smalest version to 14kg for the bigger one, depending on the mounting details.
The servo pendulum is fitted behind the windvane mast.
This model offers the possibility of being fitted to different yachts and stern details.
The length of the horizontal tube is variable for mounting on an integral platform or underneath a higher platform.
With Mounting Frame : An ideal solution for straight or convex transoms or for a transom mounted rudder.
This model can be mounted off-center.

Seventh hour on a Friday afternoon, and I sit on a decrepit bar stool in the front of the classroom, my feet propped on an extra desk chair. Early September sunlight slants through the blinds and casts horizontal shadows across the projection screen, which shows the words "Vivid, Continuous Dream" in tall purple letters. Sophomore Honors English. Thirty-two sets of eyes focus on thirty-two separate points—the screen, the notebooks on desktops, the walls, the windows, the door, each other, me. I'm ranting about John Gardner's vivid, continuous dream: the magic of literature as art, art built inside a person's mind and shared with another's through the vehicle of words, those arbitrary symbols inked inside a book. This rant is standard, and while I use enough energy to be convincing (I hope), my heart just isn't in the performance. My mind travels beyond the last bell—what must happen in the short hours between Friday afternoon and Monday morning, how to get everything done.
"Nabokov says we read with our spines," I say, "which means literature as art is physical, alive in our bodies as well as our minds." Then I sigh, and a few of the nearby students laugh. We're all tired. At this moment, the principal walks into the room.
If what Nabokov says is true, and I believe it is (more or less), then language serves as the writer's conduit from mind to body. A successful fiction, poem, essay not only makes the transition from reader's mind to body, but also holds the moment of crossover—literature straddles borders. During the time readers spend inside John Gardner's vivid, continuous dream, literature exists in both mind and body at once. Through language, we arrive on the shores of undiscovered countries, but then we remain on the frontiers of the fictional landscape. My interest is in how we make this journey, as both readers and writers, how something as ephemeral as language takes on enough heft to propel us forward.
"A distant clock struck twelve, then another nearer, then two together, then a last one, very far away. When the latter had ceased to sound, he thought…" (qtd. in Sullivan). This tolling of the time creates the montage effect, according to Eisenstein: "The separate representations are built up into an image" (qtd. in Sullivan). Through layering thematically-related representations, Maupassant evokes experience, emotion, time—the spinal, animal realities of the human condition.
Other writers use montage as well, often to serve the story in different ways, and yet the outcome remains peculiarly the same. For instance, Kurt Vonnegut's novel Hocus Pocus opens with a flurry of montages, these quick successions of thematically-related images, and the novel maintains this strategy for the duration. A singular instance of montage is Vonnegut's use of the idea of booby traps. Within the span of two pages, Vonnegut associates the phrase booby traps with "a young female war correspondent for The Des Moines Register," "a pretty and personable young woman named Margaret Patton, who allowed [the narrator] to woo and marry her soon after [his] graduation from West Point, and then had 2 children . . . without telling . . . that there was a powerful strain of insanity on her mother's side of her family," as well as the narrator's habit of "speaking of [his] first and only wife as something as inhuman as a booby trap . . . seeming to be yet another infernal device." Vonnegut immediately follows this montage with this antithetical observation: "that mother-daughter team treated [the narrator] like some sort of boring but necessary electrical appliance like a vacuum cleaner." As in the Maupassant example, this montage journeys through both time and space, and yet the moving parts differ—rather than tolling clocks, Vonnegut's moves transpire between relationship, incident, episode. The novel establishes this motion—through the use of montage—as one of its primary structural devices, rendering the complexity of the human condition while simultaneously organizing disparate moments into story.
As Straub's story collects these disparate moments and organizes them, the journey to the unfamiliar commences. We arrive on undiscovered shores—inarticulate and unknowable terrain becomes textured. We experience mystery. This effect happens, partly, as a result of an artist's insistent layering of thematically-related detail through montage—in Straub's case, a story where sentences like "Dirty dishes are just as sacred as clean ones," and "In the midst of death, we are in life" collide into each other with ringing juxtapositions because the overwhelming effect of montage is to bind narrative fragments into a single whole.
While the principal took a picture of my color-chalk-rendered Skills & Objectives and Essential Questions, I sat a tad straighter on my beat-up bar stool. I asked questions, pointed to students with raised hands—normally, this is not how we do things. Normally, students in my classes shout out ideas, make clamor. Now, they are decorous. Mitch raises his hand, I point.
The principal uses her smartphone to take the picture, my students tell me later. "She tweets everything," the kids say after the ten-minute visit is over, and we're back to our usual selves.
Three different colors highlight words, each color for a different way of moving through time, and students pick up their highlighters and mark their copies while I explain what the colors mean, how the words propel us forward, take us backward, swirl us around again to an unfamiliar beginning. Meanwhile, Friday afternoon plods onward. All of us feel the clock ticking in our bones.

Hartopp and Lannoy Points are two identical 14 storey blocks in Munster Ward of Hammersmith & Fulham, each containing 56 flats. They are part of the Aintree Estate.
They were built in 1968-70 using a technique known as 'Large Panel System' (LPS), the same system used in the Ronan Point disaster in 1969 in Newham. Some additional bracing was undertaken at Hartopp and Lannoy in 1970. The gas supply has been removed from the blocks.
H&F Council's structural engineers confirmed in August 2017 that the both blocks are structurally sound. In addition, they recommended a second stage assessment involving more intrusive testing. The second stage assessment was completed in March 2018. To read the full Stage II report from our structural engineers, click here (pdf 4MB).
In March 2018 we also commissioned independent structural engineers Arup to validate our Stage II report, undertake further studies of void properties throughout the two blocks, and make further recommendations to the council.
The findings from this more detailed structural survey by Arup were published on 25 February 2019.
The Arup report confirms the findings of the initial structural survey, and recommend that the council should either strengthen the blocks or demolish them as soon as practicable.
Refurbishment of the two blocks is estimated to cost more than £16million and, with the inherent structural problems of large panel system buildings, would not provide a good value option. H&F Council consulted residents on a proposal to demolish Hartopp and Lannoy Points. Read the news story here.
Following consultation with residents, the council is now recommending demolition of both blocks.
Can residents remain in Hartopp and Lannoy?
While the future of the blocks is being determined, we want to reassure residents they are safe to live in, subject to the current safety measures in place.
We are liaising with residents who have notified us that they are vulnerable due to a disability and have expressed a wish to move to another property. This is being treated as a priority and tenants supported in making these moves.
Our housing management team are now on site three times a week for drop-in service, for three hours at a time, as well as one Saturday morning each month.
The installation of the communal fire alarm systems is complete.

Q: Syntax error running BLAST online with Biopython I am trying to build a script to compare my fasta files from pyrosequencing with the nucleotide GenBank database following the Biopython Tutorial and Cookbook (Chapter 7).
While the process is running, the prompt shows the following message:

It's the first time that Jeremy, best known for films such as War Horse and Railway Man, has been seen filming beside Lily.
It was announced in August that he would join the cast and since then, only Downton Abbey's Lily has been seen getting into character with a young version of Tanya Chesham-Leigh (Jessica Keenan Wynn) and Rosie Mulligan (Alexa Davies), Donna's bandmates.

Seasoned actors Pierce, 64, and Meryl, 68, are expected to reprise their roles in the sequel, and pick up where viewers left off.
The original movie was set on a Greek island where young bride-to-be Sophie, played by Amanda Seyfried, discovers that any one of three men - Bill (Stellan Skarsgard), Sam (Pierce) or Harry (Colin Firth) could be her father.
She invites all three to the wedding without telling her mother, Donna; while in the meantime, Donna has invited her backup singers, Rosie and Tanya.

President Lee Pelton joined cheering, singing, dancing, and selfie-taking students for Emerson College's annual Move-In Day for new students on Monday, August 24—one of the most festive and efficient moving-in processes for new students on a local college campus.
"I'm excited for her. She's going to take it by storm," said Diane Sperduti '84 of Greenwich, Connecticut, as her daughter Maggie Sperduti '19 moved into the Colonial Building.
Maggie Sperduti, who met President Pelton as she unloaded her items, plans to major in Visual and Media Arts, studying television and film—following in the footsteps of her mother, who studied those subjects as an Emerson student.
Stan Wong of Pembroke Pines, Florida, said "it was very touching" that President Pelton helped him move his son, Christian Wong '19, into his new residence in the Little Building.
Emerson's longtime Move-In Day tradition involves highly animated singing, dancing, and outrageously dressed students cheering on new students as they pull up to the curb with their parents. The older students—Orientation Leaders—then quickly load the new students' items into carts and whisk them inside as parents move their cars off busy downtown Boston streets—all in less than 10 minutes.
Students at the Colonial on the morning of August 24 danced "The Macarena" while other students at Piano Row busted moves to Rihanna and mash-up songs from the hit show Glee.
Lexie St. Jacques '18 wore a rainbow-colored get-up complete with a hat that looked like a parrot.
"I'll call it a squid ballerina," St. Jacques said. "I really have no explanation for it. I had the hat, and I went to Party City and built everything around the hat. I decided to add two tutus that are purple and gold," which are Emerson's college colors.
A full orientation schedule is available online for undergraduate students, parents, international students, and transfer students.

From the author of Soldier Boys and Search and Destroy comes a thought-provoking, action-packed page-turner based on the little-known history of the Japanese Americans who fought with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team during World War II.
Yuki Nakahara is an American.
But it's the start of World War II, and America doesn't see it that way. Like many other Japanese Americans, Yuki and his family have been forced into an internment camp in the Utah desert. But Yuki isn't willing to sit back and accept this injustice--it's his country too, and he's going to prove it by enlisting in the army to fight for the Allies.
When Yuki and his friend Shig ship out, they aren't prepared for the experiences they'll encounter as members of the "Four-Four-Two," a segregated regiment made up entirely of Japanese-American soldiers. Before Yuki returns home--if he returns home--he'll come face to face with persistent prejudices, grueling combat he never imagined, and friendships deeper than he knew possible.

"Events, characters, and dialogue create an indelible sense of time and place.... Yuki emerges as a true hero during this dark period of American history."--Horn Book Magazine "November/December 2016 "
* "The story of two young Japanese-American men who enlist in the 442nd Regiment, a segregated unit of Japanese-American soldiers and white officers that fought in the European Theater.... Hughes sends these men through the wringer. They endure foot rot and the stress of taking the next hill (which is worse is up for grabs), and they also grapple with the consequences: how does one reconcile shooting a kid, even if he's an enemy soldier? Yuki reflects that "what he and Shig were doing--and the Germans, too--was brutal, disgusting," and he would "spend his life trying to remove all this ugliness from his head and his hands." Throughout, Hughes never shies from the institutionalized bigotry that put these Americans of Japanese ancestry into harm's way more than their fair share of times. Nuanced and riveting in equal parts."--Kirkus Reviews, September 2016, *STARRED REVIEW*
"Yuki Nakahara is American. He was born in California, wears jeans, and has never even visited another country--but at the start of World War II he becomes aware that other Americans see him as a foreign enemy. His family is one of the thousands of Japanese American citizens arrested and forcibly transferred to internment camps in the rural desert. Although depressed about their situation, Yuki and friend Shig decide to join the army to fight for their country and to prove once and for all that they are loyal to the United States. As the war wages on, however, Yuki realizes that he must respect himself and where he came from, and that neither war nor changing others' minds is as easy as he had imagined. Although this is a work of historical fiction, the author's thorough research about the boys of the 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team and his meticulous descriptions of battle scenes bring the story to life without boring readers familiar or unfamiliar with the military lifestyle. The strong emotions evoked by the vivid details of battle and the other realities of war make this work sometimes difficult to read, but the excitement and compassion will keep even the most hesitant readers turning the pages. Those who follow the news will find connections between Yuki's plight and current events. VERDICT: A solid purchase for collections looking to entice reluctant readers and those where historical fiction or war novels are popular."--School Library Journal, October 2016
* "Hughes' writing effectively evokes the horrors of war and the internal conflict of young men fighting for a country that has treated them unjustly. The challenges of Yuki's reentry into the States are also well conveyed: the guilt of survival, the difficulty of communicating the war experience to civilians, and the continued widespread racism.... This is historical fiction at its finest--immersive and inspirational."--Booklist, November 2016, *STARRED REVIEW*
"Wartime hysteria leads hatred and racism to rear their ugly heads on high schooler Yuki Nakahara and other Americans of Japanese descent in December of 1941.... This historical novel accurately captures not only the disgraceful plight of Japanese Americans due to Executive Order 9066, but also the harsh realities of the war and the struggles to maintain a sense of humanity. The novel is well-written and fast-paced, easily holding the reader's attention. It offers a lesson that might be relevant today in light of the current U.S. immigration controversy.... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."--School Library Connection, January/February 2017, Highly Recommended
"Dean Hughes exhibits his expertise in telling the tales of war.... Hughes hides nothing as he speaks the truth of war that no one but a soldier can rightfully comprehend. The fear is apparent in every page, as well as the underlying reality that although the government is the body deciding to engage in wars, men are the ones fighting them. The action in every page kept me reading nonstop, as Hughes pulled no punches in revealing the gut-wrenching pain of war...each word is packed with an incomprehensible amount of meaning. History and masterful storytelling build a narrative unlike all, as readers battle alongside the soldiers in FOUR-FOUR-TWO."--TeenReads.com, December 2016

Sneak Peek: "Batman Secret Files #1" from DC Comics
BATMAN SECRET FILES #1
(W) Tom King, Jodie Bellaire, Ram V., Cheryl Lynn Eaton, Tom Taylor (A) Jorge Fornes, Elena Casagrande, Brad Walker (A/CA) Mikel Janin
BATMAN SECRET FILES #1 looks at cases from the Dark Knight's past, featuring some of his most infamous villains, all written and drawn by a masterfully curated team of writers and artists.
You wouldn't think a story featuring a talking ape would be the most emotionally powerful of the bunch, but such is the skill of writer Tom Taylor and artist Brad Walker, who draw from the world of DARK NIGHTS: METAL in their closing tale. When a young man named Matt, who has a tie to Detective Chimp's past, finds himself falling in with the wrong crowd, Bobo asks for Batman to intervene and help set him on the right path. But Batman's code is far less yielding than Bobo's, and if Matt's crossed the line into crime, the blazer-wearing simian may regret getting Gotham's Dark Knight involved.
Batman's worked with some unusual partners over the years, but this may be the oddest team-up yet…but could it also be the most effective? After all, Batman and Bobo may be two of the most unusual detectives in the world, but they're also two of the best. See how it all gets started in our exclusive sneak peek at this must-read new Batman story.

Imagine gliding down steep, spiral hills in Manhattan on a longboard. This activity is one that junior boys have started at Rock Creek.
Junior Jackson Meyer picked up longboarding as a hobby over the past year. Meyer started longboarding by first skateboarding, and then he heard about longboarding being less restrictive.
"It's crazy addicting," Meyer said.
Although Meyer started the longboarding trend at Rock Creek, there are a few others who also longboard, including juniors Nick Haverkamp, William Henry, Matt Pearson and Justin Ward. All five boys longboard together in the afternoons after school, in the evenings and on weekends, when they get a chance.
Longboarding is similar to skateboarding, but with a few differences. The main difference is that a longboard is obviously longer, but also is not always symmetrical and has bigger wheels that roll better.
According to the junior boys, good places to longboard are downhill, a nice road, the skate park and parking garages. The best clothing to wear while longboarding, the juniors said, are long sleeves, long pants, elbow pads, knee pads, Vans shoes and a helmet. The clothing is used for protecting the arms and legs from getting scraped up in case the longboarder falls, looking good and feeling good.
The average longboard costs about $100 up to $300, but the professionals use longboards that can cost more than $600. The junior boys have boards that only cost from $100-$200, though.
The best memories these boys have had while longboarding is having "gnarly wrecks" said Meyer, getting closed-lined and going down a big hill for the first time. The first time Meyer wrecked, he fell off of his longboard and slid across the ground, which is similar to how one of Haverkamp's wrecks happened, where he ended up getting his sweatshirt torn and his body scraped up.

Proposed mental health crisis and recovery…
Proposed mental health crisis and recovery center raises concerns in West St. Paul
By Olivia Stevens | ostevens@pioneerpress.com | Pioneer Press
PUBLISHED: November 25, 2022 at 11:11 a.m. | UPDATED: November 28, 2022 at 9:28 a.m.
Dakota County officials will hear feedback on a proposed mental health crisis and recovery center in West St. Paul at a community engagement meeting Thursday. The West St. Paul City Council will vote on the project on Dec. 12.
Some residents have expressed concerns about transparency and neighborhood safety after learning more about the project in recent weeks.
Owned by Dakota County and operated by mental health service provider Guild, the proposed facility would provide 16 beds for both intensive and short-term mental health care at the site of the current northeast parking lot of the Dakota County Northern Service Center.
If it is approved by the council, it will be up to the Dakota County Board of Commissioners to discuss and vote on the project's future. The project's state funding stream requires that the new facility be operational by the end of 2024.
The proposed center
The proposed center intends to replace Guild South Services in South St. Paul, which operates out of three houses that lack accessibility and privacy, said Emily Schug, Dakota County deputy director of social services.
(Wold Architects and Engineers)
The new location would be designed similarly to Guild's existing crisis and recovery center in Savage, offering clients individual bedrooms and bathrooms and creating a "calm, warm and welcoming environment that will not further traumatize people," according to Dakota County's website.
The center, unlike the Savage facility, also would offer on-site assessments and support for anyone seeking mental health services.
Clients are admitted on a voluntary basis through either Intensive Residential Treatment Services (IRTS) or Crisis Residential Services (CRS). Those in IRTS can stay for up to 90 days and are provided with a treatment and recovery plan to avoid hospitalization and eventually return to independent living, while CRS is for those in mental health crisis who need a place to restabilize for up to 10 days.
While Schug said the total cost of the project remains undetermined, $3.4 million will come from state bonding, $2.5 million from Dakota County's American Rescue Plan funding, $1.5 million in other state funding and $750,000 from partner contributions, according to the county's website.
Mark Drake, who lives about 500 feet from the crisis and recovery center's proposed location, said he learned about the proposed facility two weeks ago from one of his neighbors and thinks the county did a poor job communicating the project development.
As required by a city ordinance, letters with information about the project were sent to those who lived 350 feet or closer to the location of the proposed facility, according to West St. Paul Council Member Julie Eastman. Drake said the lack of communication about the proposed facility to those living outside that boundary signaled a lack of transparency from those developing the project.
"It's pretty surprising and pretty disheartening that the city and county just did the bare minimum here in terms of the notice," Drake said. "I think clearly that was by design, which is disappointing."
Eastman said the city and Dakota County also posted information about community engagement events on social media. However, after hearing resident feedback, she said in the future, the city may pursue other strategies to inform residents of important projects.
West St. Paul residents, including Drake, have shown up at recent project meetings to express concerns about potential safety risks to those living near the proposed facility if the project moves forward. Drake said he and other West St. Paul residents feel uncomfortable with the facility's potential intake of clients with severe mental health issues or criminal histories.
"Everybody in the neighborhood has great compassion for those with severe mental illness," Drake said. "But when people are off their meds, and people are in crisis, they're often not thinking clearly. So it's concerning when we have elderly people who are frail and a lot of young kids in the neighborhood."
Guild CEO Julie Bluhm said people are not admitted to their mental health facilities if they are assessed to be a danger to themselves or others. She said Guild works with local officials to ensure they follow all laws necessary when admitting people with criminal histories to their mental health facilities.
"We believe that our community is safer when everyone gets the help and services that they need when they need them," Bluhm said. "When someone comes to us, our clinical staff has to ask, 'Is this someone that we feel can be safe in our therapeutic environment, around other clients?'"
Drake said he is also concerned about Guild's conduct after learning of a lawsuit filed last year against the provider by a former employee, who claimed she was told to continue working with a client after he threatened and harassed her. The lawsuit was settled, and Bluhm said the situation was corrected within four days of the incident.
Drake helped other West St. Paul residents create a website — safeweststpaul.org — to outline their concerns about the proposed facility.
The Thursday meeting with Dakota County officials and representatives from Guild will be at 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Dakota County Northern Service Center in West St. Paul.

Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology (MTC) at Karolinska Institutet conducts research and teaching in immunology, infection biology, cell biology and cancer. MTC has about 430 active employees, including 100 PhD students, 50 postdoctoral researchers and 26 professors. Key words are multidisciplinary, bridging, translational, national and international collaborations.
MTC is offering a postdoctoral stipend position in the field of Computational Biology to work in the group of Dr. Vicent Pelechano. The group combines experimental and computational approaches to develop and apply novel genome-wide techniques to investigate eukaryotic transcription and gene expression (Pelechano et al.Nature 2013, Chabbert et al. Mol. Syst. Biol. 2015, Pelechano et al. Cell 2015).
We are especially interested in understanding the regulatory mechanisms leading to the appearance of divergent gene expression programs in clonal cell population (http://pelechanolab.com/). Different cells in a population can present varying responses to the same stimulus. In some cases these differences are attributable to genetic mutations, such as the appearance of drug-resistant cells in bacterial and cancer populations. However, in other cases identical (clonal) cells can also display phenotypically heterogeneous responses. This non-genetic heterogeneity has a poorly understood origin but a significant impact on biology and human health. We combine the development of state-of-the art genome-wide approaches with the molecular dissection of fundamental biological problems.
Our lab is located in the newly established Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab, http://www.scilifelab.se/) in the Karolinska Institute campus. SciLifeLab is equiped with state-of-the-art instrumentation and core facilities, and is home to the second largest sequencing cluster in Europe. SciLifeLab Stockholm is a joint effort between Karolinska Institute, the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Stockholm University, and hosts research groups with diverse backgrounds and expertise, including basic biology, drug discovery, genomics, bioengineering, and translational medicine.
The available postdoctoral position concerns developing and applying novel genomic and approaches to study the impact of transcriptome complexity in cell-to-cell phenotypic heterogeneity. The candidate will focus on understanding how small variations in the process by which gene information is read by the cell (transcription) leads to subtle variations in the interpreted messages (mRNA isoforms) and thus contributes to increase in diversity among identical (clonal) cells. The candidate will use, and contribute to the development, of novel methods that our lab has developed to study transcriptional complexity and post-transcriptional life of mRNAs (e.g. Pelechano et al. Nature 2013, Pelechano et al. Cell 2015). The candidate is expected to contribute his/her own ideas to the common goal of understanding how transcription complexity and regulation of post-transcriptional RNA life contributes to the appearance of differences across clonal populations of cells. The candidate will perform original research in genomics, and acquire the required experimental and computational skills necessary for the completion of the project. As a model organism the candidate will use budding yeast (S. cerevisiae) and human cancer cell lines. The candidate will be responsible for the experimental design, implementing analytical pipelines and integrate different kinds of genomic data to answer biologically relevant questions. The successful candidate will take a strong lead in the experimental design, and collaborate with other team members. The candidate is expected to communicate the scientific results by writing up scientific papers and attending scientific meetings. The ideal candidate is also expected to participate in the general duties of the team and to effectively communicate with scientists of very diverse backgrounds in a highly interdisciplinary and international environment.
Applicants to this position should have a PhD in genomics, epigenetics or molecular biology.
Scholarships for carrying out postdoctoral research may be granted to persons living in other countries who come to Sweden with the intention of only staying in Sweden for all or part of their postdoctoral education at KI. Persons who are resident in Sweden and/or have carried out all or part of their academic education at KI or some other educational institution in Sweden cannot be considered for scholarships from KI. The head of the department determines whether their previous training and scholarly qualifications correspond to a Swedish PhD or higher.
The successful applicant should have experience interpreting biological data and experimentally testing their hypothesis. Previous experience in Eukaryotic transcriptional regulation and yeast biology will be highly considered. A strong interest in interdisciplinary technology development, and novel and creative thinking abilities are essential. Preferred experience also includes familiarity with epigenetics, environmental regulation of transcriptional response, non-genetic cell-to-cell heterogeneity, RNA biology, bioinformatics, and molecular biology techniques. This is an excellent opportunity for an individual with experience in molecular biology and epigenetics to expand his/her ability to genomics. Applicants wishing to integrate computational and experimental biology approaches are also encouraged to apply.
Candidates interested in applying are encouraged to contact vicente.pelechano.garcia@ki.se for further information.

Q: how do I keep the center of my sphere in the actual center this is a tricky question, I made this little program:
import pygame as pg
from math import *
import os
import sys
vec2 = pg.math.Vector2
vec3 = pg.math.Vector3

os.environ["SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED"] = "1"

width = 1000
height = 800
thickness = 2

pg.init()
screen = pg.display.set_mode((width, height))
clock = pg.time.Clock()

def p5map(n, start1, stop1, start2, stop2):
    return ((float(n)-start1)/(stop1-start1))*(stop2-start2)+start2

def sphere(radius, point, xrot, yrot, yoffset):
    for i in xrange(point):
        lon = p5map(i, 0, point, -pi, pi)
        for j in xrange(point):
            lat = p5map(j, 0, point, -pi/2, pi/2)
            x = int(radius * sin(lon) * cos(lat)) + width/2
            y = int(radius * sin(lon) * sin(lat)) + height/2 + yoffset
            z = int(radius * cos(lon))
            pos = vec3(x,y,z)
            alpha = int(p5map(z, -radius, radius, 0, 255))
            pos.rotate_x_ip(xrot)
            pos.rotate_y_ip(yrot)
            x = int(pos.x)

    while running:
        clock.tick(0)
        mouse_pos = vec2(pg.mouse.get_pos())
        for event in pg.event.get():
            if event.type == pg.QUIT:
                running = False
                pg.quit()

                    running = False
                    pg.quit()
                    sys.exit()
                if event.key == pg.K_UP:
                    yoffset += -50
                if event.key == pg.K_DOWN:
                    yoffset += 50
                if event.key == pg.K_w:
                    xangle += 10
                    print xangle
                if event.key == pg.K_s:
                    xangle += -10
                    print xangle
                if event.key == pg.K_a:
                    yangle += 10
                    print yangle
                if event.key == pg.K_d:
                    yangle += -10
                    print yangle
        pg.display.set_caption("{:.2f}".format(clock.get_fps()))
        screen.fill((255, 255, 255))
        sphere(radius, point, xangle, yangle, yoffset)
        pg.display.flip()

run()

you can play around with the keys "wasd" to rotate the sphere and you will rapidly encounter the problem; the sphere doesnt stay centered, it can even go out of the screen!
here is an exemple of how the sphere rotate:

and this is how it should:
see how in the first exemple it isnt centered? how do I fix that so it stay centered?
the sphere doesnt rotate on itself but rather orbit around the 0,0,0 point of my screen. if anyone knows what I am doing wrong I would like to hear it!
another exemple of the sphere rotated(by 120 degrees):
and how it should be(fixed by hand):

A: well nevermind I find a solution, in the sphere function:
def sphere(radius, point, xrot, yrot, yoffset):
    for i in xrange(point):
        lon = p5map(i, 0, point, -pi, pi)
        for j in xrange(point):
            lat = p5map(j, 0, point, -pi/2, pi/2)
            x = int(radius * sin(lon) * cos(lat))# + width/2
            y = int(radius * sin(lon) * sin(lat))# + height/2 + yoffset
            z = int(radius * cos(lon))
            pos = vec3(x,y,z)
            alpha = int(p5map(z, -radius, radius, 0, 255))
            pos.rotate_x_ip(xrot)
            pos.rotate_y_ip(yrot)
            x = int(pos.x)
            y = int(pos.y)
            x += width/2
            y += height/2
            screen.set_at((x, y), (0,0,0, alpha))

I commented out the + width/2 and + height/2 (which was the offset) and applied the offset after the rotation

Last Night in Soho TIFF Review: Edgar Wright's Beautifully Crafted London Love Letter Bites More Than It Can Chew
anya taylor-joy, diana rigg, drama, edgar wright, horror, krysty wilson-cairns, margaret nolan, matt smith, michael ajao, mystery, terence stamp, thomasin mckenzie, thriller
Not many filmmakers are as eager to show their own love of film through their own work like Edgar Wright can be. In Last Night in Soho, he moves away from comedy completely to make a horror film, yet also an obvious love letter to a city he's stated that he had fallen in love with over the years. With that in mind, you can only expect that Last Night in Soho would be bound to become maybe Edgar Wright's most ambitious feature to date, though the result isn't always successful. Despite this, there's still a lot worth loving about what Edgar Wright brings to the table in this journey back through London in the 1960's.
A fitting note for the film to start can be found in Thomasin Mckenzie's Eloise Turner dancing to Peter and Gordon's "A World Without Love." Her character is an ambitious fashion student, moving to London to pursue her studies, but in her new home she finds herself able to see a vision of London from the 1960's, where she embodies a new persona. This new persona is none other than Anya Taylor-Joy's Sandy, an aspiring singer, whom Eloise idolizes – and forms the basis of her designs. To Eloise, the 1960's was an era she evidently obsesses over, as shown from the film's soundtrack, but the more she sees from Sandy's perspective the dream she once thought of only reveals a terrifying history.
From looking at a trailer for Last Night in Soho, it'd be easy enough to assume that Edgar Wright would be getting his influence from the giallo films of Dario Argento and the like, but instead what I saw was a portrait of London owing more to Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now and Roman Polanski's Repulsion (both of which are among Edgar Wright's favourite films). While Wright certainly is a filmmaker who knows how to make the most out of his influences, the core of his own works is one that seems somewhat lacking. Nonetheless, together with the work of Chung-hoon Chung (a regular cinematographer of South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook), what's brought out from Last Night in Soho is among the most beautiful that an Edgar Wright film has looked.
There's a lot that could be done with a premise of this sort, where an aspiring fashion designer travels back in time to see an era where she got her inspiration for what it really is. The horrifying reality of her own dreams is what in turn makes for an interesting turn for Edgar Wright in the long run, but with how Wright delivers on these scares, it leaves his message fumbling onward. As far as Wright's films have gone, this might be the most he's ever been able to embrace the gore but there's only so much to go when talking about what Wright brings out in that regard. For as extreme as he can get with the infliction of violence and its cyclical and traumatic effect upon future generations, its message only finds itself muddled – both in its final moments and the framing of the film as a love letter to London in the 1960's.
Edgar Wright has never been one to let down with the erratic nature of how his films are put together, although there came a point in Last Night in Soho where I feel like the film would have benefited from having that same energy felt in his Cornetto films. When watching Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead and the like, the core of those films feels so clear in how they are willing to engage with a familiar text yet felt subversive enough in a way that could only be attributed to Wright. But Last Night in Soho lacks that same punch. I say this in the sense that what the film turns into is nothing more than a generic ghost story about a cycle of violence that has targeted women, and exploited them, but to talk about how these moments are framed seems to leave behind an icky aftertaste – especially when talking how it all pays off in its twist ending. The images repeat, continuously torturing its lead character, but they leave little of substance.
I don't wish to dwell so heavily on the negatives, though, because you're bound to have fun with watching an Edgar Wright movie in some capacity. Wright brings out great work from both Thomasin Mckenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy. But it's worth noting that in their final performances, the late Margaret Nolan and Diana Rigg deliver with what little they have to show in here. But for as stacked as this cast was, there's a lot of fun to be had with Matt Smith and Terence Stamp in their just as impactful roles. If anything, what you're seeing out of them can be enough to leave you thrown off for the many surprises that come along the way. Wright brings the most out of his astoundingly stacked cast, and they all deliver.
It should not be any surprise that Last Night in Soho may turn out polarizing at the time of its wide release. For all the beautiful moments that Edgar Wright dedicates into creating this loving tribute to the city he loves, the message he delivers is one that feels quite messy. Yet maybe that was the goal, because it does its job at putting his viewers in an emotionally difficult spot, which is fitting when you consider Wright's approach to its gender politics. Wright's craft is as vibrant as it's ever been since his collaborations with Simon Pegg, but perhaps his ideas don't blend well with that aesthetic. I'm interested to see what comes in the near future for Edgar Wright with genre fare, even if my own reservations ultimately keep me from believing this is completely within the right step.
Watch the trailer right here.

'Jojo Rabbit' TIFF Review: Taika Waititi's Anti-Hate Satire is Blunt, But Effective
4 Stars, Film Festivals, Jaime's Reviews
2019, alfie allen, christine leunens, comedy, drama, rebel wilson, roman griffin davis, sam rockwell, scarlett johansson, stephen merchant, taika waititi, thomasin mckenzie, tiff
Taika Waititi's anti-hate satire, as advertised extensively, is a different sort of coming-of-age film but as one would know from the sense of humour that Waititi's career has been built upon, there's also a whole lot to be admired about the risks that Waititi could already find himself facing when tackling a subject of this sort. There are a whole load of laughs to be had with watching Jojo Rabbit, like all the best of Taika Waititi's past films but this is where he finds himself taking on a subject of yet another sort of scope. This is a film that's clearly been made through the eyes of someone whose own people had been so visibly damaged in the past, but given the sort of risks that there's another point where he clearly wants to broaden the reach of the film's message by trying to reach out to a younger audience. To a certain extent, it works perfectly – because there's not a single moment in Jojo Rabbit where I didn't find myself laughing my heart out. For a movie about the Hitler Youth, it's very funny, charming, and even sweet too, a nice crowdpleaser for what it's worth.

Yes Sasikala, it will be comfortable for you to have a large sink in utility area. A single bowl franke sink is also necessary in kitchen. In my house, Sink is not in kitchen, sometimes I feel uncomfortable when going to extended area of kitchen for water.
what is the purpose of lighted box under the sink?
