Q: Convert each sublayer in shp.zip to csv files QGIS (PyQGIS) I'm trying to convert a shp.zip into several CSV files. This file contains several shapefiles inside, which I want to store each one in one different CSV.
Let's say I have:
| - my_polygons_shp.zip
  | adm0.shp
  | adm1.shp
  | adm2.shp

(Along with all the .bfs, .cpg, etc.)
In order to do that I'm loading this file straight to QGIS:
filepath = "/tmp/my_polygons_shp.zip"
layer = QgsVectorLayer(filepath, "ogr")

My full code has a loop through all sublayers but make it simpler. Let's say I just want to load the layer adm1 (so afterwards I can save it as CSV). I tried:
uri = "{}/adm1.shp".format(filepath)
sub_vlayer = QgsVectorLayer(uri, "ogr")

and also:
uri = "{}/adm1.shp|layername=adm1".format(filepath)
sub_vlayer = QgsVectorLayer(uri, "ogr")

In both cases when check if the layer was correctly created with sub_vlayer.isValid() says False
sublayers = layer.dataProvider().subLayers()
for sublayer in sublayers:
    layer_id, layer_name, num_features, geom_type, _, _ = sublayer.split("!!::!!")
    uri = f"{filepath}|layername={layer_name}"

I have also tried to export the layer I'm interested in:
QgsVectorFileWriter.writeAsVectorFormat(
    layer,
    output_filename,
    "utf-8",
    layer.crs(),
    driverName = "CSV" ,
    layerOptions = ['GEOMETRY=AS_WKT',f'LAYER_NAME=adm1',,f'GEOMETRY_NAME=the_geom'])

This one creates the CSV file, however it uses the first layer instead of the one I'm telling to use.
I've even tried to use the most updated version of the method.
options = QgsVectorFileWriter.SaveVectorOptions()
options.layerName = layer_name
options.driverName = 'CSV'
options.layerOptions = ['GEOMETRY=AS_WKT', f'GEOMETRY_NAME='the_geom']

QgsVectorFileWriter.writeAsVectorFormatV3(layer, filename,QgsCoordinateTransformContext(), options = options)

But again it just create the CSV files with the first layer (amd0) and it's not taking into account the layerOptions I'm specifiying, since for example, the geometry field is called WKT instead of the_geom as I'm stating. I've also tried to include in layerOptions 'LAYER_NAME=adm1' but it raises a warning saying that dataset .... does not support layer creation option LAYER_NAME
I've tried this solutions too but they didn't work: Loading zipped shapefile from URL using PyQGIS

A: You are specifying QgsVectorLayer's "path" (aka "url" or "connection string") parameter wrong.
There are two possible approaches which I explain below. Note how they handle the paths and layernames very differently. I recommend using the .shp.zip approach if you are in control of the archive's file name.
.shp.zip
If you are using GDAL 3.1+ you can automagically load Shapefiles from ZIP archives if the archive's name is ending in .shp.zip.
In that case you can specify the layer to load for the QgsVectorLayer by appending a layername (e. g. a basename of a Shapefile: "foo" if you have "foo.*") to the connection string with |layername={layername}.
For example QgsVectorLayer("/tmp/foo.shp.zip|layername=bar", "name", "ogr") will try to load bar.shp from the root of the foo.shp.zip archive.
/vsizip/
To load geodata from within a zipped dataset, in the context of formats that do not have a standard as to how they are zipped, you can use a "virtual filesystem" provided by GDAL, in this case /vsizip/.
The linked question has working examples.
For example QgsVectorLayer("/vsizip//tmp/foo.zip/bar.shp", "name", "ogr") will try to load a Shapefile bar.shp from the root of the foo.zip archive.

Essay Preview: "crime and Punishment"
In the novel Crime and Punishment, by Fyodor Dostoevsky,
suffering is an integral part of every character's role. However, the
message that Dostoevsky wants to present with the main character,
Raskolnikov, is not one of the Christian idea of salvation through
suffering. Rather, it appears to me, as if the author never lets his
main character suffer mentally throughout the novel, in relation to
the crime, that is. His only pain seems to be physical sicknes.
Raskolnikov commits a premeditated murder in a state of
delirium. He ends up committing a second murder, which he never ever
wanted to be responsible for. He kills Lizaveta, an exceedingly
innocent person. But does the author ever remind us of the murder at
any time in the novel again? Not in the physical sense of the crime
itself. The reader doesn't hear about how heavily the murders are
weighing on his heart, or how he is tormented by visions of the crime.
He doesn't feel the least bit guilty about having committed the crime,
only his pride's hurt. He doesn't mention the idea of the pain that
might arise from recurrent visions of the crime. Raskolnikov never
again recalls the massive amounts of blood everywhere, the look on
Lizaveta's face when he brings down the axe on her head. These things
clearly show that the crime isn't what might cause him suffering, or
pain, it is something else.
After Raskolnikov is sent off to Siberia, he doesn't feel
remorseful. His feelings haven't changed about his crime, he feels
bad at not being able to living up to his own ideas of greatness. He
grows depressed only when he learns of his mother's death. Raskolnikov
still hasn't found any reason to feel remorse for his crimes. He takes
Siberia as his punishment, because of how annoying it is to go through
all these formalities, and ridicularities that it entails. Yet, he
actually feels more comfortable in Siberia than in his home in St.
Petersburg. It's more comfortable, and has better living conditions
than his own home. But he isn't free to do whatever he likes. But this
does not contradict what I've said before. He doesn't view Siberia as
suffering, but he does view it as punishment, because he would rather
not have to go through seven years in his prison cell.
His theory of the extraordinary, and the ordinary is something
he has to follow and adhere to . His necessity to suffer is a part of
his necessity to fulfill his unknown criteria to be extraordinary. His

This is the second part of a three-part article about improving hand washing in schools.
Promote Easy Access to Clean Hands: Full dispensers of soap, the availability of warm water, and adequate dryers or paper towel supplies make it easier for students to clean their hands. Make sure the staff combats any issues that prevent easy access to good hand washing.
Put the Spotlight on Hand Washing: Make sure every restroom has signs encouraging students to wash up.
Stay on top of Health and Hygiene Issues: Make sure the custodial staff is up-to-speed on cleaning and disinfecting 'best practices' that will ensure a healthy environment.
Be a Hand Washing Hero: Be willing to take part in hand washing demonstrations in a health class or at a school assembly. Demonstrate first-hand how it's done.
What is the proper way to wash hands?
• Wet hands with clean, running water (warm or cold) and apply soap.
• Rub hands together to make a lather and scrub them well; be sure to scrub the backs of hands, between fingers, and under nails.
• Continue rubbing hands together for at least 20 seconds. A good rule of thumb is to teach people to hum the "Happy Birthday" song from beginning to end, twice.
• Rinse hands well under running water.
• Dry hands completely using a clean towel or air dryer.
What if soap and clean, running water are not available?
Washing hands with soap and water is the best way to reduce germs. In areas where they are not available, the custodial department should provide an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol.
The CDC recommends users apply sanitizers to the palm of one hand and then rub hands together for at least 30 seconds, or until hands and fingers are dry. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers will not eliminate all types of germs, but they can quickly reduce the number of germs on hands in some situations. Building occupants should also be educated on the fact that hand sanitizers are not as effective when hands are visibly dirty or greasy.
Countless studies support the improvement of hand hygiene programs and experts agree that strong hand hygiene is the best defense against the spread of infections. Unfortunately this is a message that's difficult to promote to students.
Getting children to wash hands effectively — or to apply hand sanitizer — is an ongoing initiative for custodial executives, and it is a strategy worth supporting. By supplying proper products and educating occupants on the benefits of proper hand washing, the custodial department is preventing the spread of infection and improving the health of those within the school.


This policy brief looks at how EU policies should be adjusted to the higher food prices. The brief makes three policy recommendations: Innovation in biofuels should be encouraged but biofuels targets should be abandoned as they are expensive and distort agricultural and energy markets. Freer trade is needed for both efficiency and food security reasons. But more open markets will further increase the price of food for importing countries. An immediate and sustained aid increase should therefore be agreed.

Why is Claire Underwood on "House of Cards" so awful? Ask her mother.
We meet Claire's mother, Elizabeth Hale, when the first lady travels to her childhood home in Texas. Claire wants to big-foot her way into the election by way of a Congressional seat in a predominantly black district. That her mother is undergoing chemo is a minor inconvenience. She's prepared to sell the house from under Elizabeth to finance her ambitions.
Elizabeth is played by Oscar winner Ellen Burstyn, whose casting is so perfect it makes you see how Claire turned into the elegant glacier she is today.
Burstyn, 83, had only seen Season 1 of "HOC," but passersby in her Manhattan neighborhood chatted her up after they saw her in Episode 1. "I can't walk my dog without people commenting on the show. I had no idea that it had that big a following," she says.
She also had no idea that she'd worked before with "HOC" star Kevin Spacey, but he was quick to remind her. The occasion was a 1990 TV movie called "When You Remember Me," co-starring Fred Savage, of all people. "Kevin played a lawyer and I was a nurse defending a boy [Savage] in an orphanage," she says.
Everyone knows Burstyn as the star of "The Exorcist," but her TV career stretches back nearly 65 years to "The Jackie Gleason Show," where she was a showgirl billed as Ellen McCrae (Burstyn was the last name of her second ex-husband, Neil). Besides loving Gleason, she terms it "one of the greatest experiences of my life." Her own experiences as a series headliner left something to be desired. "The Ellen Burstyn Show," in which she played a college professor, lasted one season on ABC in 1986. "It was not the right combination of people. It just did not come together, unfortunately," she says.
Once she found her groove as a film actress in "The Last Picture Show," the critics — and the Motion Picture Academy — heaped praise on the Detroit-born actress. In addition to her Oscar, for "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," she has five other Oscar nominations, two Emmys and a Tony.

Прошу́то ( — «окіст») — італійська шинка, зроблена з окосту, натерта сіллю й прянощами.

Окіст найвищої якості. Для нього спеціально вирощують свиней, відгодовуючи каштанами. На околицях Парми їх годують сироваткою, що залишається від виробництва сиру пармезан. Задні ноги свині спочатку проходять сухе засолювання, потім їх в'ялять не менш ніж десять місяців. М'ясо після цього виходить тверде, сухе, із чудовим ароматом. Прошуто не потрібно обробляти термічно, оскільки він тоді стає сухим і твердим. Блідо-рожеві, ледь блискучі тонкі скибочки прошуто додають у страви наприкінці готування, а найчастіше нарізають тонесенькими скибочками й подають на стіл з динею або інжиром або приправляють супи і юшки невеликою кількістю прошуто.

Прошуто роблять у декількох місцевостях Італії. Найкращими з них вважаються пармська шинка (прошуто ді Парма), а також прошуто з Сан Даніеле.

My honors precalculus students saw the slope hexaflexagons my geometry students were using and asked when they would get something like that. I promised when we reached our trig unit, I'd whip something up. Below is the result as well as a video explaining how to assemble a hexaflexagon. My hope is that my students become well versed with their reference angles and don't need to write out a complete unit circle when answering questions this semester.
Here's a link to purchase the product.
This looks like a great resource. I was wondering if you printed it on 8.5″ x 11″ paper or did you use bigger paper? Thanks!
I use 8.5″ x 11 but I'm sure it would scale up via copy machine to legal or possibly 11×17. I need to play with that to offer a larger size to those who prefer it.

Paul was an excellent tour guide, and also kindly collected us from our hotel at the start of the tour. We enjoyed the sight seeing and allocated stops to look around and take photos of beautiful Auckland. We would definitely recommend this tour to others.
Excellent guide. Good commentaries. Good choice of places of interest.
Enjoyed the volcano and the wintergardens. would have been better if could add in somme Moari related visits.


Earlier this year, aviation buffs in England were confronted with the sad announcement that the Avro Vulcan XH558, the only flightworthy Vulcan in existence, would cease its flight operations later in the year. Just a few short weeks ago, as promised, XH558 flew for the last time before touching down at Robin Hood Airport, Doncaster Sheffield. Today, it remains as one of three Vulcans in taxiing condition (meaning that it can move under its own power on the ground). XH558 and her counterparts are simply too old to be flying anymore; their airframes thoroughly aged and replacement parts extremely scarce.
Although a few of our TACAIRNET team members have had the chance of seeing the Vulcan fly in person, I never did, and I was struck with a weirdly half-sentimental, half-curious feeling on what it was like to experience the aircraft as a spectator on the ground. So I did what any red blooded college senior with a little bit of spare time on his hands would do… and browsed through Instagram, seeking out hashtags specific to the Vulcan, while eating a cold slice of pizza. In retrospect, the pizza wasn't the best idea, but what I came across was just awesome… actually, what I came across with regards to someone else coming across something Vulcan-related was even more awesome.
A friend from mine who lives across the pond in the United Kingdom (who's also very much into aviation) came across a Vulcan… well, a vital part of a Vulcan… out in a farmer's field after noticing a picture of an English Electric Lightning in the Friday edition of his local newspaper. As it turns out, the paper publishes a section on Fridays that features pictures and maps of walking routes for people who wish to walk for leisure or exercise, and to explore the countryside while doing so. Paul Waugh, my buddy, who's also a veteran Coastguardsman, quickly noticed the Lightning and decided to have a look for himself on the particular route featured in the paper. Since he was in the vicinity later on, he found the place on his own and came up to a farmhouse with a nearby barn. After knocking on the front door of the farmhouse without getting a response, he drove away, and then decided to go back and give it one more try.
This time, he got an answer. The farmer's wife, and later the farmer himself, responded to the door and Paul was moments away from a delightful shock. Upon explaining what he was here to see and where he saw the picture of the Lightning, the farmer asked him "Do you want to see a Lightning, Vulcan, Vampire or Meteor?", and then sent him to the other side of the barn. Even in the pouring rain, the shapes were unmistakeable. Since he had a red shirt on, and there was a bull very close to him, Paul quickly scrambled up the ladder and into the cockpit of Avro Vulcan XH563, sitting on an oversized dolly in a farmer's field.
XH563 was completed in 1960 and delivered to service with No. 83 Squadron, RAF, that same year. The very first of the B.2 series of Vulcans with improved engines and range, she later served in a number of roles with the RAF, culminating with a short stint as a maintenance airframe, but was then pulled entirely and slated to be scrapped in the mid-1980s. Though the majority of the aircraft was taken apart and recycled, a certain Donald Milne hailing from Banchory, England, bought the nose section, replete with cockpit and flight instruments inside as a potential treehouse for his son. FATHER OF THE YEAR AWARD, ANYONE?!
Later on, the XH563 cockpit wound up in the hands of another private owner, and it rests today in that farmer's field in the UK. Paul was brilliantly kind enough to share his pictures from his visits to the XH563 cockpit with us, so that we could share them with you! To see more of the Vulcan's unique cockpit and for more excellent military aviation content (including awesome videos), navigate to Paul's Instagram profile and give it a follow! Let him know we sent you, too!

I typed in English electric lightning into your site and the only mention came up with your excellent article.
I am surprised that you have not published more about the Lightning that was the fast combat aircraft in many areas of the 1960s,I worked on the testing of this great aircraft from 1959-1962 when it entered full time service with the RAF.
As regards to time to height there was nothing to beat it,from wheels off to 60,000ft less than two mins and turning radius at the speed of sound at 36,000 ft less than 3 nm,a truly iconic aircraft in the UK I recommend that you google the aircraft and watch videos of it.
